Yeah, 0:00:50.440 --> 0:00:53.160 I'd about to say, what time? You're not happy? Shaving 0:00:53.200 --> 0:00:55.480 the shaven the garlic with the rat blade? Mick over there? 0:00:55.560 --> 0:00:58.360 Not happy with the world today? All right? Happy part 0:00:58.360 --> 0:01:02.560 of the mob squad? Are you mad because Cheeto did 0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:06.760 go from DMP to full? I'm mad? Not so fast? 0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:10.640 Not so fast, a friend. I've said this on Twitter. 0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:13.319 I do, I do expect myself to lose even though 0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:17.000 he's full. You think thirty plays combine special teams in defense? 0:01:17.240 --> 0:01:19.360 How about just being how about you want to just 0:01:20.040 --> 0:01:23.600 bet on active or not active. Oh that's fair. I 0:01:23.640 --> 0:01:26.360 think that's the Jason Garrett. That's why I asked you. No, 0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:28.880 that's that's why I asked that is. I'm not even 0:01:28.880 --> 0:01:31.280 worried about the thirty play. I asked that question to 0:01:31.400 --> 0:01:33.760 walk off. I did. I asked him about, you know, 0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:36.480 how do you balance how do you balance getting a 0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:38.920 player that you know that you want, you know, to 0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:41.400 develop and stuff like he is. It's not about development anymore. 0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:43.640 It's a good questions about winning football games. That's what 0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:45.720 we talked about is. Yeah, you have a lot invested 0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:48.720 in him. Yeah, they're also five and three and guys 0:01:48.760 --> 0:01:52.200 are playing well in the secondary. Fight again, injuries provide opportunity. 0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:54.600 Thank you, coach, Jason, thank you. I'll be happy to 0:01:54.640 --> 0:01:56.160 buy a pizza if I have to. That's not a problem. 0:01:56.200 --> 0:01:58.440 I'd be happy to eat good stuff, right, it's good stuff. 0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:01.040 Make sure you get deep dish too. Yeah, Taylor and 0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:04.000 I are there, pan whatever we will five ingredients you 0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:07.320 want to five? Yeah, or that thing. Make sure you 0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:09.880 get the special. I hope you guys like Hallopenia. I'm 0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:11.720 good with what as what els Man. I can pick 0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:14.400 him off and Chovi's good. Free Papa John's is free, 0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:17.120 Papa John. That's nothing wrong with that. Now do we 0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:18.519 have to eat it on the year here? Sure you 0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:20.480 do it on the little football you will a little 0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:24.200 round table. Lesh Taylor steals donuts during the draft. I did, 0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:28.960 They're good, those donuts hers the box of donuts were there. 0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:34.720 She's like, oh yeah, I'm the captain now, all right? Well, 0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:38.320 Cheeto did go from DMP to fool and other injuries 0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:40.800 to be looking at. Of course, coach Garrett said this 0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:43.079 morning he does not believe Tyren Smith will work out 0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:46.600 or we'll practice again today, which is of note now 0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:49.480 because of course he doesn't normally practice on Wednesdays, but 0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:52.560 now not practicing on Thursday with that growing, Are you 0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:56.079 more concerned or what is your feeling on this? Equally concerned, 0:02:56.240 --> 0:02:59.440 equally concerned about of course you're equally concerned, Mickey, right, 0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:02.160 equally concerned. YEA, not gonna be concerned one way or 0:03:02.160 --> 0:03:05.280 another again. I mean, I think I was concerned yesterday 0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:07.320 and I'm concerned today. Oh I thought you were staying 0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:08.920 you're going to try and ride the fence again on 0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:13.280 my injuries remains. He's a guy though, we mentioned this 0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:16.280 like he doesn't have to practice to play, and they 0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:19.680 may very well be trying to manage him to Sunday. 0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:22.040 But yeah, I mean two days in a row, that's 0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:25.560 never a great sign, right, No, Chaz Green, get ready? 0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:28.000 What do you think? Can I ask you a question? 0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:32.600 Can I I'll try and get to your answer. Who 0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:37.840 of losing Zeke, Daz or Smith? Who could you not 0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:40.800 afford to lose? Ryan? Did you not vote today? Was 0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:47.880 that the poll questions today? Segment? I forgot to look? 0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:50.720 Day has my back on this, you know, Rob, I'm sorry, 0:03:51.320 --> 0:03:53.480 I was. I wish I've been helping with the questions 0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:55.840 though you have. Okay, okay, just save that. I'm sorry, 0:03:55.880 --> 0:03:58.960 okay too. In the third segment, your question was who 0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:01.240 do you have to have the most in this game? 0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:03.760 Of those three guys? No, that's what But that was 0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:06.680 a pole question. No, but you asked me something before 0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:09.760 that rudely interrupted you. How do you feel about I mean, 0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:11.360 are you worried or you think they're just trying to 0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:15.000 manage him? Mickey's right, Mickey's right, I'm worried. Yes, I'm worried. 0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:18.880 Groin problem. I can't say this like wrap it up 0:04:18.920 --> 0:04:21.159 and say, okay, it'll be better or put a brace 0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:23.320 on it. You know they can wrap it. But you're 0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:26.280 right about but you're right about getting better. Oh it's 0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:28.360 it's a true, it's true fact. Yeah, now you're looking 0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:31.839 at me like you but it's true. It's a true. 0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:33.680 Is the two? Is the two late to vote? How 0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:36.159 the poles still open? Still, we'll do it at break. 0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:38.039 Maybe you can vote for me. I will have to 0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:41.160 find it for you. Now, tying, what's the fourth one? 0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:44.200 Do you? Guys? Are you more concerned because you don't 0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:46.680 have a Ron Leary there you have a Jonathan Cooper 0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:50.320 there as your left guard? Or is that not a concern? Oh, 0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:53.160 just you've got a Pro Bowl tackle that you're going 0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:55.679 to have to play without. Yeah, it doesn't matter who's 0:04:55.800 --> 0:04:59.039 you know, taking his place. She's talking about the next 0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:01.760 guy taking the wet siding about the fact that you 0:05:01.760 --> 0:05:04.000 know last season you did see him miss a few games, 0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:07.119 but it was okay because you felt good about Chad's 0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:10.039 green stepping in. And I say good, not great, because 0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:12.560 there's still exactly what you said, Mickey, he's a Pro 0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:16.080 Bowl left tackle. You never want them missing those games. 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:18.640 But if they have to you felt okay, and I 0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:21.040 felt more okay with that because of Ron Learry being 0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:23.680 right there and what a season he was having. Now 0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:27.120 it's like, okay, there's been so much instability in this 0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:30.479 kind of group to start the season. Finally getting there. Yeah, 0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:33.599 Jonathan Cooper finding his role at left guard. Right, Yeah, 0:05:33.600 --> 0:05:35.680 you're just now starting to find a rhythm. Yeah, just 0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:39.040 a run to the right they usually do. You know, 0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:41.080 it's funny last year with Doug Free and yeah, they 0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:43.360 were better running in the right, which everybody wanted Doug 0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:47.920 Free Atti, But can I can I gauge everybody's concerned, Tay, Yes, 0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:52.960 about Jonathan Cooper. I mean concern of I know, Mickey 0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:56.320 we started off and Rob Tay, we started off initially like, man, okay, 0:05:56.360 --> 0:05:58.599 gotta get better there, gotta get but you have gotten 0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:02.000 better there. Yes, So what Tay's asking is a very 0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:06.240 legitimate question. Do you feel good enough about Chaz Green's 0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:09.520 stepping in there and not having to affect how Jonathan 0:06:09.560 --> 0:06:13.000 Cooper plays? Because we were worried about Jonathan Cooper affecting 0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:17.400 the way that Travis Frederick and Tyron Smith play. Now 0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:20.280 you worried, You're worried or you've got more confidence in him, 0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:23.839 especially these last two games. What gave you that confidence? 0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:25.920 Just the way he's played and the way the offensive 0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:28.279 lines played and how they've run the football. Yeah, this 0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:31.039 is another one of those good matchups though, protected and 0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:35.640 protected the quarterback. It's gonna say that that, Grady Jared. Yeah, 0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:39.599 Vick Beasley, you're in a road environment. I mean, I 0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:42.280 would like to ride with my all pro left tackle here. Interesting. 0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:44.280 How many Cowboy fans there by the way. Yeah, the 0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:47.120 land is very much like a Dallas. It's a transmittant. 0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:49.400 They could show up. I mean, this could be a 0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:53.960 fifty fifty game for those guys. It could well their 0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:59.160 guys hurt too. Which guy we're going to get into 0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:02.080 their guys, Grady Jared went through our guy you just mentioned, Yeah, 0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:06.520 how are you well he's got ribs, Yeah, but he'll play. 0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:10.680 He's limited. Get ready. Well, I'm just saying, oh, I've 0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:12.920 got some injuries also. Yeah, and let's get into us 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:16.840 after we kind of go through ours. Now, Briant, Rob, 0:07:16.960 --> 0:07:20.080 what are you thinking on Desmond? I think it sounds 0:07:20.080 --> 0:07:22.360 like he could do something today, and I think that's 0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:24.440 a good sign for him. I mean, he might wind 0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:26.640 up being kind of a gamer. Yeah, he could be 0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:29.480 a game time call quote unquote, but I think having 0:07:29.560 --> 0:07:31.920 him out there doing something Thursday is a good sign 0:07:31.960 --> 0:07:34.360 for him. Well, and that's exactly what Mickey said yesterday. 0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:37.160 He said he was going to wait until two pm 0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:40.520 on Sunday afternoon to make that final decision. You're still there. 0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:43.440 I think he's moving in the right direction. Interesting that 0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:45.600 Jason said it's more than knee, which is a a 0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:48.560 that scares me, bone bruise type thing. I mean that 0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:52.960 scares me. Why the knee always scares me? Well, it's 0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:55.760 not a structural. I've seen guys. I've seen guys play 0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:58.160 with ankles and stuff like that. I mean, look at 0:07:58.200 --> 0:08:01.640 the rubber band many way he played with it. Yeah, 0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:05.080 are we are we dismissing those early reports that he 0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:09.560 had a high ankle spring through the rubber band man? No, oh, 0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:12.120 if they're more concerned about the knee. Yeah, but Garrett say, 0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:14.560 because if it was the high ankle spring, he would 0:08:14.600 --> 0:08:16.280 be Yeah, you might as well. Just yeah that that 0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:18.840 you say the word high ankle and I and I 0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:22.880 immediately just cringe. You're talking. I start sweating. Yeah, in 0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:25.800 that situation, Yeah, I worry about the knee. If that's 0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:28.280 the case, he did say knee, didn't he He He did 0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:31.080 say knee. I remember writing knee. Did you write it 0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:33.760 down and take one page to write knee? I did 0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:36.200 so I could read it. You don't want to be 0:08:36.240 --> 0:08:39.280 too fun. You don't want to be searching for stuff. No, 0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:43.200 but no, I am concerned, Tay. And if Rob's pole 0:08:43.280 --> 0:08:46.040 question answers that addresses that, I mean it's gonna be 0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:49.520 a very good discussion right there. Ye, because I'd like 0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:52.440 to believe that. You know Dez Bryant, you know, he's 0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:56.160 it's like preparing for Zeke. You know, Defensive corners don't 0:08:56.200 --> 0:08:58.040 like dealing with a guy that's big and can run 0:08:58.040 --> 0:08:59.560 with the ball in his hands, especially when you get 0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:01.120 down on the red. Yeah, they don't want to deal 0:09:01.120 --> 0:09:03.120 with that guy on third and four and they throw 0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:05.160 a slant and throw them in. You're starting to see 0:09:05.200 --> 0:09:08.400 Dez Bryant. They're moving him around. We're not hearing like, oh, in, 0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:10.480 a hand's gotta get him the ball. When a hand's 0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:13.280 got a why don't they move him? Now? He's moving around. Now, 0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:17.079 he's doing things. He's bunch formation, he's tight wing motions, 0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:20.040 things like that. That's you know, hey, give him credit. 0:09:20.080 --> 0:09:22.080 That's what they gotta do. And it's getting him too. 0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:25.360 Football is are the the yards per catch and huge No, 0:09:25.600 --> 0:09:28.040 but last week that's what you're getting from him. If 0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:30.600 you're gonna run the football and you can get seventeen 0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:33.000 eighteen yard pass plays that way in the middle of 0:09:33.000 --> 0:09:37.760 the field, sign me up. Plus they're winning. Yeah, winning, 0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:42.120 Winning is a habit. No no complaints when you win. Yeah. Now, 0:09:42.160 --> 0:09:45.360 Noah Brown showed up on the practice report. Of course, 0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:48.600 the rookie wide receiver his thigh, but he was full, 0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:51.760 so probably just something to take note of. Well that 0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:55.160 was from last week. Yeah, I think I think Noah Brown. 0:09:55.200 --> 0:09:58.640 Don't worry about him, but it's gonna probably be active 0:09:58.679 --> 0:10:01.520 this week. Well, we'll see because again, how you know, 0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:03.200 how are you going to play all this stuff? Mickey 0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:05.640 was talking about your chela. That's I'm saying, do you 0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:07.840 get cheeto in the mix? Now? Does it like, does 0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:10.680 he practice well enough? He looks like is he practicing 0:10:10.720 --> 0:10:12.680 where he looks fresh and he's running and you know 0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:15.600 there's some banged up football players playing right now, he's 0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:17.800 not one of them. Now, the questions about him is 0:10:17.840 --> 0:10:22.160 about the hamstring and will blow out. But if he practices, well, 0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:24.600 I mean that's what That's exactly what Gary was talking about. 0:10:24.840 --> 0:10:27.280 I need you to practice today, I need you practice tomorrow. 0:10:27.320 --> 0:10:28.880 I need you to practice Friday. I need you to 0:10:28.920 --> 0:10:31.400 practice where you can show up and let me put 0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:33.240 you on the field, and I need you to play 0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:36.719 and show up on next Wednesday. Yeah, exactly, that's exactly right. 0:10:37.320 --> 0:10:40.320 And I think I still think that's the fear. Yeah. Well, 0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:43.000 let's get to the Atlanta Falcons. Mickey, you were right yesterday. 0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:47.360 Their kicker was injured last week and they resigned a 0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:50.920 guy named Mike Meyer to help with their kicking for 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:55.360 this week. Meyer Saturday Night Live. Yeah, Mike Myers, Canadian. 0:10:56.640 --> 0:10:59.640 They resigned their kicker to help because his right calf. 0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:03.400 So he saw it right, Yeah, kent with the drop? 0:11:03.559 --> 0:11:08.040 Is that Halloween? I think he's probably thirteenth going forward 0:11:08.040 --> 0:11:10.920 with Halloween. So I went back and looked, and I 0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:15.640 think he heard it on the first kick and he 0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:19.080 was able to kick the extra points right, but they 0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:21.480 had to forego a field goal attempt. I think they 0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:23.360 went forward on fourth now they did on the other 0:11:23.400 --> 0:11:26.040 side of them. Yeah, they lost closely. Yeah, they did 0:11:26.160 --> 0:11:31.600 eats Carolina. So now all these kickers, Washington was without 0:11:31.640 --> 0:11:34.280 their kicker when the Cowboys played him, have Bailey. Now 0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:37.920 they still don't have Bailey, and they could be without him. Yeah. So, 0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:40.199 but they didn't do anything like put him on IR 0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:43.640 or anything. Right, No, no, no, no, they just they 0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:46.559 just brought in a safety net. Yeah. Yeah, now you're right. 0:11:46.600 --> 0:11:49.079 You brought up Grady Jarrett. He's a guy to watch 0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:52.320 for the Falcons. He was limited, and then DeVante Freeman, 0:11:52.400 --> 0:11:54.760 the of course running back that ran all over the 0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:57.400 Cowboys here at AT AT and T Stadium two seasons ago. 0:11:57.920 --> 0:12:01.360 He was on there with a knee and limited. Julio Jones, 0:12:01.400 --> 0:12:02.959 You guys may have heard of him, he's one of 0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:06.440 the most elite wide receivers in the NFL. DMP with 0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:09.560 an ankle Tack McKinley if you guys watched the draft show, 0:12:09.600 --> 0:12:13.679 you know him very well. Shoulder limited, Duke Griley. They're linebacker, 0:12:13.800 --> 0:12:17.280 knee DNP and then of course cornerback. Though you should 0:12:17.320 --> 0:12:19.959 definitely know if you've been thinking about this game this weekend, 0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:24.320 Desmond Truffont the cornerback with an ankle and he was limited, 0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:27.600 So you're right, Mickey, they definitely do have some some 0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:30.160 key injuries there, and I think you brought up, of 0:12:30.200 --> 0:12:33.760 course Grady Jarrett, but someone like Julio Jones is one 0:12:33.800 --> 0:12:36.120 that sticks out to me. Five of those starters either 0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:40.680 limited or DNP and that Wednesday though, Mickey, Yeah, but 0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:43.880 come on, I don't I understand, but talk to me 0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:46.680 day Bill. Julio Jones is gonna play. Yeah, talk to 0:12:46.679 --> 0:12:48.880 me about. I'm glad he's got an ankle that'll slow 0:12:48.920 --> 0:12:52.520 him down. Wow, Sting's got a Sutting's got a slow sound. 0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:55.520 I like Mickey because he's like a mob jacket guys. 0:12:55.559 --> 0:12:58.040 He's got a mob attitude today. I like it, you know. 0:12:58.120 --> 0:12:59.880 But that's good though. You got me to go there. 0:13:00.360 --> 0:13:04.760 You guys get out about kind of like talking about 0:13:04.840 --> 0:13:06.800 when oh you need this team to win and kind 0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:09.120 of get banged up and all that. I'm glad to 0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:10.880 see you guys are coming to the dark side on 0:13:10.920 --> 0:13:13.480 this whole thing about it. As I said, this time 0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:15.400 of year, you gotta win games. However, you can win 0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:18.280 games brand many times. We're looking at teams right now 0:13:18.320 --> 0:13:21.120 that the Cowboys lost to Yeah that if they played 0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:23.600 them again, it would oh sure, story due to injuries, 0:13:23.760 --> 0:13:28.320 mainly Voodoo Brian. The Redskins Eagles game. I wanted to 0:13:28.360 --> 0:13:30.160 win and I wanted to get hurt. I want to 0:13:30.200 --> 0:13:32.520 bang that used to that used the word hurt, beat 0:13:32.840 --> 0:13:35.560 beat up, eat up beat Yeah, well nothing wrong with that. 0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:38.560 I like you make it like your attitude hurts nut Yeah, yeah, 0:13:38.559 --> 0:13:41.400 it hurts a bad beat up, talk about it. They 0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:43.640 still haven't slowed down either, one of those two guys 0:13:43.679 --> 0:13:46.520 from last time. No, like no, that's still gaining yards. 0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:49.480 A Freeman the knee though, Hey a knee with a 0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:52.480 running back. I worry about him though, very combination. You 0:13:52.559 --> 0:13:54.720 know why I got Tevin Coleman. They do have Coleman. 0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:56.719 It's a different style running back though. But I'll tell 0:13:56.760 --> 0:14:00.199 you this though, Steve star kissing the offensive corners been 0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:02.960 taking a lot of grief for the way they've moved 0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:05.559 to football. I I and that the fact that they 0:14:05.559 --> 0:14:07.800 went away from the run. I would not be one 0:14:07.840 --> 0:14:10.600 bit surprised if they try and load up and run 0:14:10.679 --> 0:14:15.760 Freeman until it's tongue. Yeah, test Dallas. They can be 0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:17.480 stopping the run if you, if you, If they could 0:14:17.520 --> 0:14:19.480 play good defense like Mickey's had him the last couple 0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:22.560 of weeks playing that run defense all good, but if 0:14:22.600 --> 0:14:26.000 you if you don't, if you don't, I mean, I say, 0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:29.120 Sarkisin has taken a lot of heat for the way 0:14:29.160 --> 0:14:32.320 that the offense has performed. The numbers on the Cowboys 0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:35.320 run defense are amazing. Like when they've the five games 0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:38.040 they've won, they've given up like sixty rushing yards. Yeah, 0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:40.960 per game. The three losses, it's like one sixty. Yeah, 0:14:40.960 --> 0:14:44.240 it's been really bad when it's been bad. Yeah, And 0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:45.600 that's a lot of it's had to do with whether 0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:47.320 Sean Lee's been in the lineup. But two, you need 0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:49.120 that offense to kind of be at full strength to 0:14:49.440 --> 0:14:52.320 be nice. If the courts decide Zeke can play and 0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:55.120 you know, you get Dez and Smith and all that, 0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:58.800 that would surely help. As has McKinley been hurt for them. 0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:00.800 I wonder I just thought about that. I wonder if 0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:02.880 he's been on their injury report every week with that 0:15:02.960 --> 0:15:05.280 shoulder thing that I've watched him played the last two 0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:10.960 weeks because Dolphins they've got him listed as third team. Well, 0:15:10.800 --> 0:15:14.240 he actually rotates. Is he like taco? He's a taco. 0:15:14.320 --> 0:15:16.720 I mean, he's got seven tackles. He's a Taco. No, 0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:20.200 didn't he get picked like one pick ahead of doubt one, 0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:22.920 but he had he had a shoulder thing that kept him. 0:15:23.160 --> 0:15:26.320 I wonder that's why he ropped exactly. Was he there 0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:28.360 for the start of training camp. I wouldn't be shocked 0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:29.960 if he's been on the injury report all season long. 0:15:30.000 --> 0:15:31.800 It's probably something that they've had to manage and they 0:15:31.840 --> 0:15:33.280 need to kind of take care of, and they just 0:15:33.320 --> 0:15:35.200 haven't had the time to do it. Wasn't that something 0:15:35.200 --> 0:15:37.600 that probably needed surgery and he didn't have it. It 0:15:37.680 --> 0:15:39.600 was there was a lot of questions about that. Yes, 0:15:39.680 --> 0:15:42.160 he had surgery right after the combine. I think he 0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:45.680 sure did. Actually went through the combine then he had it. Yes, Yeah, 0:15:45.720 --> 0:15:48.400 he went through the combine and then got surgery. And 0:15:48.440 --> 0:15:50.640 then there's some clean up that probably needs to be 0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:53.320 done some more there. He's an interesting guy. He has 0:15:53.320 --> 0:15:55.960 a different cat lost one of his dreads on the 0:15:56.000 --> 0:15:59.960 field and somebody put it on like Amazon or something. 0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:03.320 Sell it. Yeah, they try to sell Tack McKinley's dreads. 0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:08.640 I get five dollars maybe maybe something, but if you 0:16:08.680 --> 0:16:10.280 give it a quarter, he's just kind of what are 0:16:10.280 --> 0:16:12.480 you gonna do with it? Hang? It up. I need hair, 0:16:14.760 --> 0:16:16.760 put it on. Put it on one of them them 0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:21.320 skull things where McKinley's dreads. Just write down my right eye, scotch. 0:16:21.400 --> 0:16:24.760 Why not? Yeah? Why not? All right? Fine? Terrifying. Hey 0:16:24.880 --> 0:16:27.720 and but hey, we're talking about Matt Bryant there, kicker now. 0:16:27.840 --> 0:16:29.520 Coach Grett had a little bit of an update with 0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:32.240 Dan Bailey. Of course, yesterday we kind of said, okay, 0:16:32.240 --> 0:16:35.360 he's out there participating a little bit, what is this about? 0:16:35.400 --> 0:16:37.920 And he explained more of that today. Rob. Yeah, I mean, 0:16:38.240 --> 0:16:40.760 he says he's getting healthier, but it sounds like it's 0:16:40.760 --> 0:16:43.480 still a week to week proposition for him. I don't 0:16:43.480 --> 0:16:46.240 think he's on the verge of going through a full 0:16:46.280 --> 0:16:51.880 practice kicking and see Mike kind of thing. Still the month, 0:16:52.240 --> 0:16:56.000 month to month. Micky's gonna sing I'll be home for 0:16:56.080 --> 0:16:59.640 Christmas song here in a minute. I think it's Christmas time, Mick.
