How's 0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:39.120 everybody doing this Friday? Good? Wonderful? Doing great? I'm so excited. 0:01:39.400 --> 0:01:42.280 I mean, I'm so excited about this game. I cannot wait. 0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:47.440 I hate I hate the cold, but this will be 0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:49.960 the only game that I'm actually excited for where it's 0:01:50.000 --> 0:01:55.000 a cold environment. You're not looking forward to Chicago no ways. 0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:59.920 Talking about going to Belichick's press conference after the games. 0:02:00.000 --> 0:02:01.960 To go do that and work their locker room, because 0:02:01.960 --> 0:02:05.600 she's like, I just want to see what that much 0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:07.680 success like, what it's like in their locker room, what 0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:10.040 it's like in their press conference. Just spy them a 0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:13.240 little bit, just sneaking there, see what's up, and you know, 0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:16.040 you never know what kind of AIMFO you can get from. 0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:19.400 I'm not like I'm I you know, I like going 0:02:19.440 --> 0:02:21.919 to Lambeau in the cold and soldier field, but it's 0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:24.560 supposed to rain all day Sunday. I'm not really looking 0:02:24.600 --> 0:02:28.720 forward to like forty and rainy. That's like the worst combination. Yeah, 0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:31.120 I guess it's not cold enough to snow, but still 0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:35.440 cold and wet. And Yeah, because being the press spot, 0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:37.520 you're I'm definitely looking forward to the game because sure 0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:40.040 we will learn so much about the Cowboys, I think 0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:42.760 in this game, about both their offense and their defense 0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:45.680 in my opinion, So I think would be a fun game. First. Less, though, 0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:48.080 we we got to talk about some injuries. Layton vander 0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:51.360 esh news comes down Garrett talks about in his press 0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:54.040 conference he's got a neck injury, and it sounds like 0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:57.320 it's relatively serious in my opinion talking about what you've heard, 0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:00.000 it doesn't sound like he's gonna play in this game. 0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:03.079 Unlikely to play. Um, they're not as worried about it 0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:06.560 being a season ending injury, but just the fact that 0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:09.320 that's being mentioned is to the point where you know 0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:11.919 this there's a game in like four or four days 0:03:11.960 --> 0:03:15.400 after this, so missing one game probably means missing too. 0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:17.960 That's what. Yeah, Garrett kind of freaked me out today 0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:20.400 because he's like we don't think it's career threatening, right that. 0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:22.239 I was like, freak me up. I was like, well, 0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:23.920 that's good, But the fact that you even had to 0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:26.320 bring it up, it's kind of scary. It was at 0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:28.040 some point a part of the conversation. I would have 0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:29.880 said for you to bring it up if you think back, 0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:33.639 like stingers and neck problems was part of his flip 0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:36.320 card coming out of college. It was definitely, you know, 0:03:36.360 --> 0:03:38.840 on the list of concerns, wasn't because the whole thing 0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:40.600 with the next thing that he wears, that's why he 0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:45.520 wears that neck role. Yeah, so yeah, I mean, it's 0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:48.520 encouraging news. It's not career threatening. It's not season ending, 0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:50.400 they don't think. But the fact that that even comes 0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:53.160 up in conversation is is pretty scary. And it stems 0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:55.960 back to the stinger he suffered against the Eagles, which 0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:58.840 was obviously it was severe enough to keep him out 0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:01.240 after the bye weeks. So two whole weeks to rest 0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:03.920 and recuperate and you're still not ready says a lot 0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:06.480 about how severe it probably was. And the fact that 0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:10.120 they qualify it with they don't think it's season ending. 0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:13.840 System sure that there's a chance, absolutely season ending. And 0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:16.160 I'll go a step further than Nick. You go bills 0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:19.120 four days after this game and then a week and 0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:21.520 so they're gonna play three games obviously in the next 0:04:21.720 --> 0:04:24.680 twelve or whatever days it is, and it could be 0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:26.400 a tall order for him to get back for any 0:04:26.400 --> 0:04:28.680 of those. How does this affect the Cowboys. I know 0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:31.320 they've got some depth there. Obviously, Sean Lee steps right 0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:34.000 in when they're a nickel that he can be one 0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:36.400 of those two linebackers. Joe Thomas is a guy like 0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:38.560 a lot and I think he's a really good linebacker 0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:40.480 for them. But how does this affect them overall from 0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:42.919 the standpoint of how they play their linebackers. Well, they 0:04:42.960 --> 0:04:46.160 don't have a big, young, athletic linebacker that can fly 0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:48.440 around to the ball. I mean, that's he's an All 0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:51.480 Pro as a rookie. There's only a handful of players 0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:54.320 in Cowboys history that have done that. So, yeah, you're 0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:58.159 missing that type of player. Sean Lee comes in, but 0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:00.159 he's just not the same. I mean, it's just like 0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:03.120 any of those positions we've seen when Lyle goes down 0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:05.600 Tyr and goes down the guy's not the same. It's 0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:08.200 it's not as big a drop off maybe with with 0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:11.000 Joe Thomas there, but I think when you're talking about 0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:15.360 overall all the linebackers, Joe Thomas is still not practicing today. 0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:18.880 It must be a heck of an illness, which again, 0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:22.080 I mean, you know for us that's normal, Like you know, 0:05:22.279 --> 0:05:24.159 flew will knock you out or a cold will knock 0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:27.520 you out for two or three days. But what you're 0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:30.120 just super tough guy. I don't get sick, first of all, 0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:33.039 but yeah, illnesses don't happen. Why do you throw it 0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:37.600 off track all the time? Really, just give the guys zack. 0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:41.320 I was gonna like NFL players have access to you know, 0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:44.480 ivs and Z packs and you know trainers and doctors 0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:46.839 whose job it is to get them back quickly as possible. 0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:48.760 So the fact that he's been out for three days 0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:52.479 is telling. Having said that, the fact that we basically 0:05:52.520 --> 0:05:56.400 know Layton's not gonna play means I bet he's gonna 0:05:56.560 --> 0:05:59.160 be I veed up and they're gonna do everything they 0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:01.039 can to get him out there or by Sunday afternoon, 0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:02.840 if I had to guess. And he's the type of 0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:05.359 guy though, when you're talking about what the Patriots do 0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:07.480 with all the screens, and you know that they do 0:06:07.640 --> 0:06:09.200 like to run the ball, even though they may not 0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:13.559 have a runner that's a dynamic player. You know, James 0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:16.040 White's pretty good and Sonny Michelle's the first round pick, 0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:19.080 so he's pretty dynamic. But I just think that, you know, 0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:21.080 this was a game where you would you really want 0:06:21.080 --> 0:06:24.080 your big, fast, strong linebacker to run around there. I'm 0:06:24.160 --> 0:06:27.839 super super worried because and I'm trying not to be, 0:06:28.000 --> 0:06:30.839 but I just look at all scenarios and like, let's 0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:35.039 say he's out for two games and then you having 0:06:35.080 --> 0:06:38.200 to use shan Lee Moore and Shanlee we know he's 0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:40.960 kind of fragile in a way. We all know that, 0:06:41.000 --> 0:06:44.919 and I'm just I'm just I'm really worried of what 0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:48.159 could happen. And I love Shanley, He's my favorite player 0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:51.000 and all that, But imagine not having shan Lee or 0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:58.440 late and then what happens now, especially with the linebacker. Well, 0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:00.800 I mean that's what would have to say. Yeah, but 0:07:01.000 --> 0:07:03.479 it's like, what are you getting from that? I mean, 0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:05.520 when you talk about a group that has already been 0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:08.359 struggling this year, I mean the drop off is pretty 0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:11.120 big there. Maybe we haven't seen enough of Joe to 0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:13.080 know what he's gonna do in a situation where he 0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:15.560 has a ton of snaps. From what I've seen in 0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:17.840 the snaps that he's had, I think they're fine. I 0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:20.400 don't think there's a big drop off there at all. Personally. 0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:23.520 Now what happens is I'd know that Cowboys a lot 0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:25.640 this year. They like to stick with their four three 0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:28.680 defense even when teams will throw three wide receivers at them. 0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:30.600 That's where you run into a bit of a challenge. 0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:33.000 There is now you start thinking about and by the way, 0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:35.600 you got a cornerback that's now out on ir right. 0:07:35.640 --> 0:07:39.600 So now as you mix between good nickel and going 0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:42.840 your base defense, you'd have that extra defensive back, or 0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:46.720 you'd have that extra that extra linebacker, and now both 0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:48.880 of them are getting really slim. If you get in 0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:51.520 a situation where, let's say, for example, you didn't have 0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:53.960 Sean on top of not having Layton. So that's where 0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:55.640 I start to worry. It's more about the depth. I 0:07:55.680 --> 0:07:57.480 think as long as Joe Thomas is out there, I 0:07:57.480 --> 0:07:59.360 feel pretty good about what he can do a linebacker. 0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:02.320 I'm gonna used to see this as a positive because again, 0:08:02.360 --> 0:08:05.600 I mean Layton has been banged up at least since Philly, 0:08:05.640 --> 0:08:07.960 if not before that, to the point where we asked 0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:10.000 him about it last week. It was like, hey, you're 0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:11.800 kind of playing through a little more than you're letting 0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:14.520 on and he laughed. He was like, yeah, you could 0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:17.880 say that idea, I mean, which I get it. Everybody is. 0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:20.440 And he also said nobody cares, which is also true. 0:08:20.560 --> 0:08:25.239 But I guarantee you it's limited his effectiveness. So I'd 0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:28.640 rather play healthy linebackers who are not as good than 0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:32.880 him at whatever percentage he's been at because linebackers struggled, 0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:34.679 and I think him trying to gut through injuries has 0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:37.160 probably been part of that. And a guy like Luke Gifford, 0:08:37.200 --> 0:08:38.960 I mean, you know, they got other guys that they 0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:41.560 can justin, justin warsh that they can kind of throw 0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:43.120 in there. I don't know if they'll be as good, 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:45.360 but I feel like they are in the times that 0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:47.640 we've seen them on the field, they've given you reason 0:08:47.640 --> 0:08:49.560 to be optimistic at least that maybe they can do 0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:52.040 due something. So I don't know. Again, I think I 0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:55.960 still have in my memory that time of what was 0:08:56.000 --> 0:08:59.040 it was it two years ago? When how and then 0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:02.280 Anthony and then all of a sudden, you couldn't figure 0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:05.079 out what to do with the defense when you take 0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:07.160 out one of those guys, all this sudden, and oh 0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:09.400 the whole group is screwed up. So I just I 0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:13.320 think I just keep remembering those scenarios, and that's what worries. 0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:15.080 Let's run through a couple of these other guys that 0:09:15.120 --> 0:09:18.520 are not excuse me, that did not practice yesterday. Lyle 0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:21.960 Collins files back, he is back today. Joe Thomas, he 0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:24.320 did not practice a day. Donovan Wilson was out yesterday, 0:09:24.320 --> 0:09:27.320 also with an illness. Same thing. I don't know if 0:09:27.320 --> 0:09:30.280 it's the same thing, but he was out with an illness. 0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:33.880 He back today or it's a great question. I don't remember. 0:09:35.760 --> 0:09:39.560 He's been active, right, yeah, that with Jeff Heath, Yeah 0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:42.280 he's been active. Yeah. I don't think he hasn't been 0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:45.400 inactive in a month or so. I don't I wasn't 0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:47.679 looking for him at practice. I'm sorry, I don't remember 0:09:47.720 --> 0:09:49.520 if he's there or not. Well, all the guys that 0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:52.720 were limited, you got Zack Martin, Connor, Williams, Antoine Woods, 0:09:52.760 --> 0:09:55.959 I presume all still at least limited today, maybe a 0:09:55.960 --> 0:09:58.080 little bit more, but sounds like most of those guys 0:09:58.080 --> 0:10:00.000 are going to be ready to play this weekend. Right, 0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:02.080 It was really looking like it was gonna be all 0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:04.560 hands on deck until this Layton News kind of dropped 0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:08.160 on us, so, but overall still fairly healthy home. So 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:11.040 let's jump to inactives, and pretty much you got your 0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:13.840 list that they've been running out most weeks. You got 0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:16.880 Joe Jackson, you got Tristan Hill, you would have Leyton 0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:18.959 vander esh in the instance you wanted to make Luke 0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:24.760 Gifford active. You got Um Brandon Knight, Devin Smith, Cedric Wilson, 0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:28.040 and then I assume I don't know if you want 0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:31.080 Donovan Wilson in that spot. You got the two young 0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:35.480 the other two cornerbacks, Josh Jones, Deontay Burton. Yeah, who 0:10:35.480 --> 0:10:37.120 would you want to put in that final spot that 0:10:37.160 --> 0:10:39.360 you need for inactives or was there one of those 0:10:39.360 --> 0:10:41.400 guys it's been an active that you think maybe needs 0:10:41.440 --> 0:10:45.120 to be active, Jones or Wilson probably there, Yeah, I 0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:47.040 would agree one of those will be inactive, and then 0:10:47.080 --> 0:10:49.959 I think they would prefer to have Deontay Burton inactive, 0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:51.960 just you know, bringing a guy in for the first 0:10:51.960 --> 0:10:54.199 time on Wednesday and asking him to play against Tom 0:10:54.240 --> 0:10:59.160 Brady on Sunday. Maybe not in Anthony Brown's spot from 0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:03.240 last week, somebody Anthony Brown was active, he was He's 0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:07.160 off the roster now, right, but Burton is on the roster. Yeah, 0:11:07.200 --> 0:11:10.040 and so he's if he's an active that buddy will 0:11:10.160 --> 0:11:13.640 throw Josh Jones. Throw Josh Jones in there. Yeah, and 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:16.280 then he was active last week when he was Yeah, no, 0:11:16.400 --> 0:11:18.480 I'm yeah, I'm trying to figure out, like, where who's 0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:21.320 the extra spot? Who are you playing? Donovan Wilson was 0:11:22.440 --> 0:11:24.240 on this list that I threw out there, but he's 0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:27.959 Connor Williams. Connor Williams was not active. Yeah, Connor Williams 0:11:27.960 --> 0:11:29.520 would be the guy that would be active now that 0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:32.320 wasn't last week. I would like to I would like 0:11:32.400 --> 0:11:35.760 to have Brandon Knight. Brandon Knight available because of Lyles 0:11:35.760 --> 0:11:37.600 and he. I know you have Cam Fleming, but I 0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:40.280 mean all all those guys are dinged up, so it 0:11:40.360 --> 0:11:44.439 sounds true scary to me. And so if you wanted 0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:46.760 to do that, you could sit you know, you could 0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:49.480 sit two dbs instead of one or whatever. What does 0:11:49.520 --> 0:11:52.439 that leave you in the CJ. Goodwin's gonna need to 0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:57.240 be your your emergency guy, just like um Vontell Tell 0:11:57.320 --> 0:12:02.720 Bryan Bryant said, perfect, Vontell Bran. It has to play 0:12:02.760 --> 0:12:05.440 receiver sometimes. I mean we've seen him out there running around, 0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:08.320 you know, and just because you don't have Cedric Wilson 0:12:08.400 --> 0:12:10.880 or but I also, you know, just because I want 0:12:10.960 --> 0:12:13.240 him to play or have Brandon Knight available, doesn't mean 0:12:13.280 --> 0:12:15.439 they will. I won't be surprised if he's an active Yeah. 0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:18.160 I mean, those tactical tackles have been banged up here 0:12:18.160 --> 0:12:20.559 for a few weeks and they all of them. Yeah, 0:12:20.679 --> 0:12:23.320 I don't think Dalton Schultz really should be active. I 0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:25.960 really don't. I've been saying, well, they go jumbo. They 0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:28.400 put Cam Fleming in the other day as as a 0:12:28.520 --> 0:12:31.800 third tackle, and you know, I agree, I'd rather have 0:12:31.840 --> 0:12:34.520 Brandon Knight in there. I think Brandon Knight would actually 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:39.560 be a pretty good third tackle. Um Schultz doesn't play 0:12:39.559 --> 0:12:41.559 a whole lot for years. It did have a catch 0:12:41.600 --> 0:12:44.600 taken off the board last week, but you know that's 0:12:44.600 --> 0:12:46.559 the only time I've heard he's saying, yeah, he doesn't 0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:49.480 do well. I mean not to be funny, but it's true. 0:12:49.520 --> 0:12:52.720 But it's like you don't really see him doing anything 0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:55.400 now and he doesn't provide what you want from three 0:12:55.440 --> 0:12:58.000 tight ends. You don't. You don't have this mawler of 0:12:58.040 --> 0:13:00.400 a blocker. I'd rather just have Brandon Knight going there 0:13:00.440 --> 0:13:02.840 and check in every time with the referee saying I'm 0:13:03.200 --> 0:13:05.559 or Joe Looney or Joe either one. Yeah. Do you 0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:08.920 think they'll do that though? And he always play that game? 0:13:09.080 --> 0:13:11.680 Do you think well that because I sit here and 0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:13.760 say all that, like this is what I want to happen, 0:13:13.880 --> 0:13:15.800 Like who cares? Who cares what I want? They're the 0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:17.960 ones that make the decisions. But if we just continue 0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:20.240 to just do that all the time, like we would 0:13:20.400 --> 0:13:22.880 never have we just wear blue every day and every 0:13:22.880 --> 0:13:24.280 game and just felt like this is what we do. 0:13:24.320 --> 0:13:27.360 What's Dave wearing? You are? This is what we do. 0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:30.000 We talk about things that we would do differently that 0:13:32.800 --> 0:13:35.560 Garrett right.

I don't know. 0:16:40.120 --> 0:16:43.520 Can they read in English? You say, I don't speak English? Well, 0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:47.920 so so there you go. That's why you're okay, that's fine, okay, 0:16:48.000 --> 0:16:51.520 all right, it stopped for a little see or no? Alright, 0:16:51.760 --> 0:16:54.520 all right, well you mentioned well we get into the 0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:57.320 weather later, but see or no? Does the Dallas defense 0:16:57.440 --> 0:16:59.880 lock up the run game against the New England pat 0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:03.680 Trips A lock up the run game? Yeah? I think. 0:17:03.800 --> 0:17:05.560 I don't think the Patriots are going to be hurting 0:17:05.560 --> 0:17:08.480 them with the run a whole lot. I think, yeah, 0:17:08.520 --> 0:17:11.240 I think that they lock it up? Define lock it up? 0:17:11.440 --> 0:17:14.680 What does that mean? Ian contain it? I mean it 0:17:14.800 --> 0:17:17.119 and lock it down? Did they lock it up against 0:17:17.160 --> 0:17:21.240 the Lions, Like, what does that qualify as locking it up? Drop? 0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:23.439 So that's why I say, I'm gonna say, no, that 0:17:23.560 --> 0:17:26.080 was a that was a worse run team. And I 0:17:26.080 --> 0:17:29.520 don't want to say worst coach team, but if there's 0:17:29.520 --> 0:17:32.680 a coach I believe knows how to how to maximize, 0:17:32.960 --> 0:17:36.240 like again, knows how to beat your deficiencies. The Cowboys 0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:38.280 have shown this season that there are always to beat 0:17:38.320 --> 0:17:40.200 them in the run game, so I suspect that they're 0:17:40.200 --> 0:17:41.880 going to have some success. Now it's all a matter 0:17:41.920 --> 0:17:47.240 of how much success. No, but I think there's times 0:17:47.240 --> 0:17:49.280 in the game where they were running the ball down 0:17:49.320 --> 0:17:51.440 the Cowboys row, and that's my point. That's my point. 0:17:51.480 --> 0:17:54.160 So I think that there will be moments. I would suspect, 0:17:54.240 --> 0:17:56.960 unless the Cowboys figure some stuff out, they're gonna be 0:17:57.000 --> 0:17:58.960 moments in this game where they're probably gonna get run on. 0:17:59.040 --> 0:18:01.600 And that's why I brought that up. It's like, statistically, 0:18:01.640 --> 0:18:04.280 the Lions didn't really do anything, right, but do you 0:18:04.320 --> 0:18:07.560 think the Cowboys played a good game? No? And that's yeah, 0:18:07.600 --> 0:18:09.520 it'll probably look something like that, so it certainly wouldn't 0:18:09.560 --> 0:18:14.119 be better, no, right, I mean you know, yeah, I mean, 0:18:14.200 --> 0:18:16.119 I know they're playing a better quarterback, but they're not 0:18:16.119 --> 0:18:26.160 playing in mare athletic quarterback. True finally agreed on Shawn 0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:29.320 Lee leads to the team in tackles this week. See 0:18:30.320 --> 0:18:34.000 see no swiper mc swiperton is going to be making 0:18:34.040 --> 0:18:38.240 them tackles. Mc swiperton, I like break the tide, Derek. 0:18:40.720 --> 0:18:43.440 See see, I'm gonna go with yes, I think Shaun 0:18:43.520 --> 0:18:45.600 Lee will lead the team in tackles. I'm gonna go 0:18:45.600 --> 0:18:51.320 with Jaitlyn Smith eleven plus eleven plus from mister. I 0:18:51.400 --> 0:18:55.200 saw him in the hallway yesterday. Yeah it was yesterday, 0:18:55.240 --> 0:19:00.960 and I liked his attitude, his po Shawn Lee. Stop 0:19:01.520 --> 0:19:06.040 stop Sean Lee anyway. See, he gave me a good vibe. 0:19:06.240 --> 0:19:09.160 So he's gonna have a good weekend and I'm excited 0:19:09.200 --> 0:19:14.080 for it. All Right, Where is this other one? With 0:19:14.920 --> 0:19:17.119 the way that Dak has been playing recently, Should the 0:19:17.119 --> 0:19:19.360 Cowboys start using the past to set up the run 0:19:19.520 --> 0:19:24.040 moving forward? See, but with a caveat of like, maybe 0:19:24.080 --> 0:19:27.919 not this weekend, Maybe not in this game because I 0:19:27.960 --> 0:19:30.720 think the Pats are susceptible to the run and I 0:19:30.760 --> 0:19:34.800 think the conditions are going to not benefit themselves. We 0:19:34.880 --> 0:19:38.879 actually on cover for Today, we talked about the seventeen 0:19:39.359 --> 0:19:42.959 Redskins game, which is if you remember, at halftime they 0:19:43.040 --> 0:19:45.640 basically told Dak like, you're not throwing it anymore. This 0:19:45.680 --> 0:19:49.320 is a monsoon and regardless of how much push we're getting, 0:19:49.320 --> 0:19:51.320 we're just gonna put the game in Zeke's hands. And 0:19:51.760 --> 0:19:54.840 it was ugly, but they got the job done. Some 0:19:55.000 --> 0:19:57.280 you know, special teams and defense helped with that. Byron 0:19:57.320 --> 0:20:01.320 how to pick six scanderkad a block field goal. Uh So, 0:20:01.600 --> 0:20:03.640 I mean not saying they won't be able to throw 0:20:03.680 --> 0:20:05.639 the ball at all, but this, for me, is a 0:20:05.640 --> 0:20:07.399 game where you want the run game to be clicking 0:20:07.520 --> 0:20:10.560 or interesting. Yeah, you're right, You're right, Scandrick returned it. 0:20:10.840 --> 0:20:14.760 I'm sorry, that's actually the game there that you guys 0:20:14.760 --> 0:20:16.480 are being able to see if you're watching the show 0:20:16.560 --> 0:20:18.679 right now. I bet I bet we had that B 0:20:18.880 --> 0:20:21.280 role available because of cover for if I had to 0:20:21.280 --> 0:20:24.679 get yeah, gush, yeah, So this, I mean, this is 0:20:24.680 --> 0:20:26.040
