Speaker 1: I am swell. Yeah. Yeah, how about yourself doing good?
Speaker 1: Had a busy day yesterday, but a good busy day,
Speaker 1: which is nice. It's always good you get the bus.
Speaker 1: But it's been fun. Had a press conference with North
Speaker 1: Texas's head coach. Then I drove to Stephenville, called the
Speaker 1: basketball game, drove back and oh, by the way, Pro
Speaker 1: Bowlers were announced. That it was freaking awesome. There really
Speaker 1: was really good stories out there, man. And let's talk
Speaker 1: about the ones in house. Yeah, I'm talking about I
Speaker 1: want to talk about the ones out of the out
Speaker 1: of I know, as soon as I was starting to
Speaker 1: kind of form that sentence, I understood what was going
Speaker 1: on there. I mean Washington's video if you haven't checked
Speaker 1: it out yet, the Commanders, I know they're a divisional rival,
Speaker 1: but that's awesome. That shows how much the Pro Bowl
Speaker 1: still means to players, and it really is a cool video.
Speaker 1: Go check it out. Went viral last night. Seven Pro
Speaker 1: Bowlers for the Dallas Cowboys this season, which is a
Speaker 1: good number to have. Well, I'll just name them all
Speaker 1: first and then we'll talk about it. Zack Martin his
Speaker 1: eighth selection on that offensive line, just continuing to be
Speaker 1: a dude. DeMarcus Lawrence defensive end, his third, Trey Von Diggs,
Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb, Micah Parsons, all in their second Pro Bowls
Speaker 1: as really the three that are supposed to be the
Speaker 1: future of this franchise. Then you've got Tony Pollard at
Speaker 1: running back. I don't just the storyline of him and
Speaker 1: what he's done for this organization, what he's done over
Speaker 1: these last three years, and then now into a contract year,
Speaker 1: he's thrown up a Pro Bowl berth. That is really
Speaker 1: cool to see. Cut the chick, Yeah, exactly, he's earning
Speaker 1: the big bucks now. And then Cavante Turpin, That's what
Speaker 1: I'm talking to talk about, a storyline, That's what I'm
Speaker 1: talking You and I were calling the game with the
Speaker 1: Chargers in so far we didn't know what was the future.
Speaker 1: I mean, he should probably just hire us as professional hypere.
Speaker 1: He goes if he's here every somewhere else, he's just
Speaker 1: probably just hiring us. I mean, I mean, because we
Speaker 1: definitely called that game, and you know, you knew you
Speaker 1: were watching something special. You knew that you were watching
Speaker 1: something that if somebody was going to be selected to
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl as a return man, you have to
Speaker 1: fear that individual. And I think that the league determined
Speaker 1: not to just a league, the players, everybody, okay, determined
Speaker 1: that he is the most dangerous threat as a return
Speaker 1: man kickoff return and punt return from from where he
Speaker 1: started in his entire journey, the things he's had to overcome,
Speaker 1: the storylines he already had coming into this season. Man,
Speaker 1: just just I couldn't be more happy for an invidude.
Speaker 1: They're playing flag football at the Pro Bowl. Yeah, yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: or fifty yes, he's gonna be all over the place
Speaker 1: there can wait any of those guys gonna be able
Speaker 1: to pull one of his floor straight speed. I mean,
Speaker 1: he would be the first pick if I had a flight,
Speaker 1: no wonder, he's a Pro bowler. Absolutely. Uh. That's the
Speaker 1: thing about Turpin. I mean, going into that game against
Speaker 1: the Chargers, you and I were having production meetings. We
Speaker 1: were talking about the content that we were laying out there,
Speaker 1: and one of the storylines was does Covante Turpin earn
Speaker 1: a spot on the roster? Is he is he capable
Speaker 1: of being on an NFL roster? A long ways away
Speaker 1: from that, absolutely No longer is it a just an
Speaker 1: NFL roster. It's a Pro Bowl roster, which is really cool.
Speaker 1: One of the two best in the entire league. Yeah,
Speaker 1: at what he does? Do you do? You agree with
Speaker 1: that sentimentsolutely because I think he's fear him. You fear you,
Speaker 1: fear you, legit fear him and whatever special teams unit
Speaker 1: is on the field with him. And I guess the
Speaker 1: recency bias probably has the muff punt against Houston in
Speaker 1: the back of the mind. Everybody's gonna make a mistake.
Speaker 1: Zach Martin gives up a sack. It happens. I mean,
Speaker 1: people have mistakes. Kavant de Turpin is as dangerous as
Speaker 1: anybody in the league as a as a return man,
Speaker 1: and we don't talk about it enough. I don't think
Speaker 1: he honestly has played it so safe this year. He's
Speaker 1: played it so so safe. How is that? Oh, there's
Speaker 1: so many punt return opportunities that he's had that he's
Speaker 1: just opted to protect the team first. And that's the
Speaker 1: stuff that people don't see. You know, typically people are
Speaker 1: going to commercials, nobody's really paying attention to a somebody
Speaker 1: fair catching like nobody cares. But if you watch all
Speaker 1: twenty two and look at some of the opportunities that
Speaker 1: he's had, but understanding the situation that he's in, saying, hey,
Speaker 1: if I simply just fair catch it right here, I
Speaker 1: put my team in a good situation as well. That
Speaker 1: is his maturity, not trying to do too much in
Speaker 1: so many situations where as a punt returner, your instinct
Speaker 1: is literally to return everything. So he's had to subdue
Speaker 1: his instinct in order to tech the team a lot
Speaker 1: of times this year. And I just hold him in
Speaker 1: a high regard. I'm just very happy for him. Kind
Speaker 1: of been that same light. Think about Tony Pollard. I mean,
Speaker 1: this is a guy who's been, for lack of a
Speaker 1: better term, stashed away for the last three years. He's
Speaker 1: been used. Sure, we've seen his explosiveness, but this is
Speaker 1: finally the season where you're starting to see what Tony
Speaker 1: can do. Coming out of party and he's been fantastic
Speaker 1: from the jump. I mean, how cool is it to
Speaker 1: see him on a Pro Bowl roster next to the
Speaker 1: other two running backs are sa Quon Barkley and Miles Sanders,
Speaker 1: And I mean, both of those guys are great. Specifically
Speaker 1: sa Quan's having a phenomenal year, but you can see
Speaker 1: just how good the NFC East Division is in terms
Speaker 1: of running the football. They're solid, and he's electric. I mean,
Speaker 1: I think he is. He has literally just shocked the
Speaker 1: entire league in terms of how dangerous he is. I mean,
Speaker 1: you just mentioned that the Dallas has utilized him, you know,
Speaker 1: every so often, you know, in accordance with Zeke, but
Speaker 1: this year he's been highlighted and this year they gave
Speaker 1: him the keys a little bit more. And you've seen
Speaker 1: what he's been able to put on display so many
Speaker 1: times in the past. You've seen him kind of show
Speaker 1: these flashes. You're like, Okay, yeah, he has some speed. Okay,
Speaker 1: if you know, if he gets to the outside, it's
Speaker 1: a problem. But he's not every down back. I think
Speaker 1: he's proven everybody wrong in that regard and he's proved
Speaker 1: in a very important year for him financially right in
Speaker 1: career wise, they way to freaking go way to take
Speaker 1: advantage of opportunity that's presented to you because he's he's
Speaker 1: definitely due for a pay day and Dallas is gonna
Speaker 1: to open up that check book to keep him here.
Speaker 1: Think about a guy who has his experience in the NFL,
Speaker 1: but it's as fresh as he is in terms of
Speaker 1: running the football and the tread on those tires, you're
Speaker 1: not very thin. They've got a lot of tread left now.
Speaker 1: Out of the other five guys, Zach Martin, D Law,
Speaker 1: Treyvon Digg, CD Micah D law Man, which one sticks
Speaker 1: out is the law absolutely? I mean you talk about
Speaker 1: d law somebody who had a camp who came back
Speaker 1: this year on a substantial pay cut. He came back
Speaker 1: this year knowing that they weren't gonna he didn't have
Speaker 1: the opportunity to make the bread that he wanted to make.
Speaker 1: So he's like, Okay, I'll come back, all right, I'll
Speaker 1: take this amount of money because I want to put
Speaker 1: the team first. And I understand that I didn't come
Speaker 1: off the most amazing season last year, but I'm gonna
Speaker 1: show you and I'm approved to you that I'm still
Speaker 1: capable of that. You hear all these all these murmurs
Speaker 1: of this this young bull coming in, Michael Parkson's comes
Speaker 1: in and has a dominant year, and you kind of
Speaker 1: get put on the back burner. You don't have the
Speaker 1: year that you were expected to have. You got everybody,
Speaker 1: everybody and Mama talking about this other guy playing across
Speaker 1: from you. He's getting all the love. And you know,
Speaker 1: you got Doran's Armstrong getting brand new contracts, you know,
Speaker 1: MICA's you know, all over TV, all over the place,
Speaker 1: and you're just a guy. Now. You are from being
Speaker 1: the guy to just being a guy. And this was
Speaker 1: his year to remind everybody, I'm gonna ahead and chop
Speaker 1: these dreads off and I'm gonna come back brand new,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna show you guys that I'm still a
Speaker 1: guy that you got to be concerned about. So kudos
Speaker 1: to him as well. He didn't talk a lot, He
Speaker 1: just could went out there and showed you. Yeah. And
Speaker 1: even the stats, I don't think tell the whole story.
Speaker 1: And that's been the case throughout d Law's career. Is
Speaker 1: the sacks versus pressure's argument. Cowboys Nations had it for
Speaker 1: years I've always been on the fact that d law
Speaker 1: does more than sack. Absolutely, I mean he does more
Speaker 1: than get in the backfield. He's got a big runstopper.
Speaker 1: This year, he's been huge stopping the run. He sets
Speaker 1: the edge, he does such a good job just being disruptive,
Speaker 1: and even after the play is over, guess who's running
Speaker 1: around the football ninety I mean if it's five or
Speaker 1: ten yards down the field, he's nineties back there too,
Speaker 1: because he's playing until the whistle. I would have absolutely
Speaker 1: voted for DeMarcus Lawrence in terms of the Pro Bowl.
Speaker 1: Now kind of transitioning over. He's also on the injury report,
Speaker 1: so news and notes. What would Rob do? What would
Speaker 1: Patrick do? I'll run the injury report rundown. I guess
Speaker 1: today Dawrence Armstrong, Noah Brown, Jake Fergus, and j Ron
Speaker 1: Cursed d Law all limited in practice. They were a
Speaker 1: part of practice yesterday. Micah Parsons and Layton Vanderesh both
Speaker 1: d n p's. Of course, Layton with that knack or
Speaker 1: the pinched nerve in the shoulder, and then Micah Parsons
Speaker 1: with the illness. So I don't think there's a whole
Speaker 1: lot of concern on Micah playing this weekend, and even
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy echoed that same sentiment, Layton Vanderesh probably not
Speaker 1: gonna play this week Nope. I don't think you're gonna
Speaker 1: see fifty five out on the field. And then the
Speaker 1: Philadelphia injury report is just a mess because they just
Speaker 1: rested a ton of guys. James Bradberry, A J. Brown,
Speaker 1: Fletcher Cox, Landed Dickerson, Lane Johnson, Jason Kelsey, Cardner Minshew
Speaker 1: who's going to be possibly the starting quarterback, but he
Speaker 1: was a full participant yesterday, and then Josh Sweat. They
Speaker 1: were all limited in terms of a resting fashion. So
Speaker 1: long injury report, but not a lot, whole lot going
Speaker 1: on there. If you're if you're to Eagles, what would
Speaker 1: be your approach to this game? I was going to
Speaker 1: ask you the same thing. Yeah, I mean I'm not playing,
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts. Yeah, there's no there's no point, you get.
Speaker 1: The point is to wrap up the division because even
Speaker 1: though the chances are slim, and I was talking about
Speaker 1: this on a radio call, this poor chance, there's absolutely
Speaker 1: a chance because if you if you let one game
Speaker 1: slip all of a sudden, that momentum is upended, and
Speaker 1: maybe these final two games of the season don't go
Speaker 1: as well as you think. I totally understand securing the bag. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I understand controlling the controllables. But if I'm Philadelphia, I'm
Speaker 1: not playing Jalen Hurts. Everybody else might play, but I'm
Speaker 1: not playing Jalen Hurts. I don't think this is a
Speaker 1: resk game for everybody just to land and chill it
Speaker 1: just because you seemingly have it can come in the
Speaker 1: next two weeks. Absolutely, once you wrap up the number
Speaker 1: one seed. But I think that you do protect your
Speaker 1: most important player. Yeah, I can see that if he's
Speaker 1: dealing with a legitimate injury, which it is. If it's
Speaker 1: an ac joint and it's a shoulder what I saw
Speaker 1: on film, it's a legit injury, then yeah, absolutely, I
Speaker 1: think you do. You you set them aside and you say, hey,
Speaker 1: thanks for trying, but let's let's wrap this. Let's try
Speaker 1: and wrap this thing up now. If not, we'll force
Speaker 1: you back in the future when you've got more time
Speaker 1: in between. Um. So that is a topic of conversation,
Speaker 1: I think, and Philadelphia said yesterday they're not ruling out
Speaker 1: Jalen hurts playing. Is that just gamesmans? Absolutely? Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think so absolutely if you're if you're looking at it,
Speaker 1: the care for both Kyle. Yeah, ESPN's on the air
Speaker 1: and they're saying, oh my gosh, Jalen Hurts might play,
Speaker 1: and everybody else is like, no, no, that's I know.
Speaker 1: They probably had an acy joint spring before on your
Speaker 1: throne shoulder. Has that given you nightmares this week? I
Speaker 1: feel like every time you talk about it, you've got
Speaker 1: more flashbacks ks behind you. It freaking hurts. Yeah, like
Speaker 1: not Jalen hurts, but it hurts, like seriously. So if
Speaker 1: he does play, oh, man, hit him, hit him because
Speaker 1: he's going to hurt. Oh gosh, Gardner Minshew though, he's
Speaker 1: going to be interesting. He brings a specific skill set
Speaker 1: spark plug. Yeah, yes, he's got that energy. The video
Speaker 1: surface last time that he started and they gotta win
Speaker 1: was after the game he was with his dad and
Speaker 1: you could see like the the excitement in the patchon
Speaker 1: that Minshew plays with. He's still got that going into
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty two season. Now, today we're previewing the
Speaker 1: Cowboys offense up against this Philadelphia defense, and you very
Speaker 1: much so love the front seven of the Philadelphia defense.
Speaker 1: I mean, they are as loaded as anybody. They are
Speaker 1: the only team in the NFL that has more sacks
Speaker 1: than the Dallas Cowboys. They get after the quarterback, they
Speaker 1: it after the football, and they can stop the run
Speaker 1: because they've got a couple of guys in the middle
Speaker 1: that can clog up poles. What's the biggest thing about
Speaker 1: this defense? That's the thing about it. Like when you
Speaker 1: think about the Philadelphia at least, when I think about
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles front seven, specifically their front four, I
Speaker 1: think about their ability to stop the run. I think
Speaker 1: about your ability to work the ball down the field
Speaker 1: if they choose to go ben but don't break defense
Speaker 1: and then they just halting you in the red zone
Speaker 1: or the black zone because they have the big fellas
Speaker 1: up front and they can stop your running game, and
Speaker 1: they have cornerbacks that can go up there and press
Speaker 1: you and stay in your hip pocket as well. So
Speaker 1: this defense up front for me, is very dangerous. You
Speaker 1: talk about the guys that there's some guys we haven't
Speaker 1: even faced yet, and we played against those guys against
Speaker 1: Philadelphia's front seven obviously earlier in the season. But now
Speaker 1: they have all their goons. Okay, they have you know,
Speaker 1: Fletcher Cox, Joseph Linfield, you know Hardgrave, Riddick, Josh Sweat
Speaker 1: and Dominicans Okay, Graham and all those names mean something.
Speaker 1: But if you read them off in the depth chart, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's when it gets really scary for me because it's
Speaker 1: Fletcher Cox, Javon Hargrave, shwtt. That's your your front offensive line.
Speaker 1: Oh by the way, Brandy Graham's up there too. Then
Speaker 1: you go to the second level, the second level bench
Speaker 1: of the depth chart. Off the bench absolutely, okay, Lynnville,
Speaker 1: Joseph Jordan Davis, Genarius Robinson, Robert Quinn who's on IR
Speaker 1: but he's listed as the second. Then you go to
Speaker 1: the third string Isaiah, and then you've got Milton Williams,
Speaker 1: and you've got the Dominican Sue. They've got dudes, they
Speaker 1: got friends. And it's the same problem teams have when
Speaker 1: they face the Cowboys, because the Cowboys, you look at it,
Speaker 1: and they've got Johncy Goldston. They've got these guys at
Speaker 1: the next level. That's the thing. So when you when
Speaker 1: you face the Dallas Cowboys, you fear their pass rush.
Speaker 1: You don't want to have to be in a passing
Speaker 1: situation against the Dallas Cowboys, right, that is the one
Speaker 1: area where you're like, crap man, I we we gotta
Speaker 1: get the ball out quick. We have to push it
Speaker 1: down the field and we just have to take a
Speaker 1: risk roll the dice because they're probably gonna get back
Speaker 1: and hit us in the mouth. That's where you fear
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys. You don't fear the Dallas Cowboys in
Speaker 1: terms of if you have to run the ball against them,
Speaker 1: actually welcome it. Yeah, you welcome running the ball again
Speaker 1: the Das Cowboys to day without a Jonathan Hankins. Especially
Speaker 1: when you look at the Philadelphia Eagles. You just mentioned
Speaker 1: the stat about them having more sacks, Like you don't.
Speaker 1: I don't think about them in the light of sacks.
Speaker 1: I think about them in terms of all the beef
Speaker 1: that they have up front. If they get down to
Speaker 1: the goal line, who are they gonna put in on
Speaker 1: the goal line. They're gonna call it Lynnfield, Joseph, They're
Speaker 1: gonna call it in, Fletcher Cox, They're gonna call it
Speaker 1: in big big Baby Davis, and they're gonna call it
Speaker 1: in Dominican Sue. Those are the four big nasties that
Speaker 1: you're gonna put on her on your front line. Oh
Speaker 1: and then you have Sweat, Graham all those other guys
Speaker 1: as well. It's get pretty good. Yeah, those guys are
Speaker 1: pretty good too. So I think about them in that regard.
Speaker 1: But then when you start thinking about their ability to
Speaker 1: then so that fears you, that that that you should
Speaker 1: be afraid of, that you don't want to run into
Speaker 1: that brick wall. Then you look at the pass rush
Speaker 1: and you have to acknowledge the fact that they have
Speaker 1: Brandon Graham, you have to acknowledge the fact that they
Speaker 1: have read e Pro Bowl. You have the adnowledging fat
Speaker 1: that they have Sweat. So they are all three of
Speaker 1: those guys. By the way, Reddick, Hargrave and Sweat have
Speaker 1: more than nine and a half sacks, Brandon Graham has
Speaker 1: eight to half, Fletcher Cox has six, and Brandon Graham
Speaker 1: has been around since Jesus was born, right, So it's
Speaker 1: like all guys like the original Chris exactly. So all
Speaker 1: you fear them in terms of you running the ball
Speaker 1: against them and you fear having to drop back against him.
Speaker 1: So in that regard, I think their front seven is
Speaker 1: more dangerous in Dallas's front seven because you fear both
Speaker 1: aspects of their of what they present. Yeah, no, I agree.
Speaker 1: But now, and you've talked about this previously, which type
Speaker 1: of pressure is tougher on a quarterback? Outside pressure, an
Speaker 1: interior pre interior pressure all day and where's the pressure
Speaker 1: coming from Philadelphia? Coming right up the middle. So it's
Speaker 1: the same reason why we talk heavily about Jonathan Hankins. Sure, okay,
Speaker 1: why are we gonna miss him so much? Because he
Speaker 1: takes up multiple takes up multiple guys. Man, he takes
Speaker 1: both guys. He puts their hands in a chance, he
Speaker 1: declares them that, he makes them declare him all day long.
Speaker 1: Two guys, you better put two guys on me. Either
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get in the backfield I'm a disrupt things,
Speaker 1: or You're gonna take these two guys and I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna clog everything up. Yeah. Well, they have four of him.
Speaker 1: They have four versions of him. They literally have four
Speaker 1: versions of him. So we're sad because we're missing one
Speaker 1: and we know how much is going to hurt. But
Speaker 1: they have four Jonathan Hankins. Yeah, guys that are actually
Speaker 1: rated higher than Jonathan Hankins a lot of areas. Who
Speaker 1: is going to say that cow But yeah, that it's true.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's how it is. It's the fact of
Speaker 1: the matter. They're good players. Yes. Now with interior pressure coming,
Speaker 1: I mean it's almost like Game of Thrones. Winter is coming,
Speaker 1: so is the interior pressure. Absolutely, But with the way
Speaker 1: that that's all going to play out on Saturday, who
Speaker 1: on the offensive line has to play their best? Who's
Speaker 1: got to be best upfront? That's what I want to
Speaker 1: I want to answer that specifically on the other side
Speaker 1: of the break when we come back. More talking Cowboys

Speaker 1: under freezing now. It's twenty seven degrees right now. It

Speaker 1: temperature by the end of the night is going to
Speaker 1: get into this single digits. Sorry, what was that? Yep?
Speaker 1: Single digits in Dallas? Is that will the windshill is
Speaker 1: like negative sixteen is what it's gonna be. Because it's
Speaker 1: gonna be super windy. So yeah, I hope you brought
Speaker 1: your your Washington coat, your Sideline coat you used to.
Speaker 1: I'm going to my Boston coat now, yeah, the other way.
Speaker 1: You gotta go to the other side of the closet. Okay,
Speaker 1: So according to the weather app that it's called ACU weather,
Speaker 1: that's the one that I've I've always used. Seven am.
Speaker 1: That's what's gonna look like. Gardner just got announced now,
Speaker 1: is it? Is it? For sure? Yeah? Okay, so there
Speaker 1: you go, breaking news here I talking Cowboys. Gardner Minshew
Speaker 1: will be the starting quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles this week.
Speaker 1: No more gamesmanship on the way seven am tomorrow, Isaiah.
Speaker 1: So right, whenever you're you're normally leaving the house, you're
Speaker 1: getting out seven degrees real feel, which is wind chill
Speaker 1: negative fifteen. Let's freaking go man in Texas. Yeah, shorts weather. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's a bowl game up here tonight. Air Force and
Speaker 1: Baylor are playing in Fort Work Sick and Bears. Right, beam,
Speaker 1: are you going? Yeah? I actually my wife actually has
Speaker 1: her company Christmas party tonight, so oh oh my goodness,
Speaker 1: Nike likely excuse so you'll get some burlap for my plants.
Speaker 1: M I know, yeah, do that quickly. You better go
Speaker 1: home right after this forget special edition. We gotta we
Speaker 1: gotta go. All right, let's continue previewing the Cowboys offense
Speaker 1: up against the Philadelphia defense as they face each other
Speaker 1: coming up on Saturday. And I asked you the question
Speaker 1: before the break you did which offensive lineman needs to
Speaker 1: have his best day of the year on Saturday? Is
Speaker 1: it the interior guys? One of those two guys, three guys?
Speaker 1: Is it the tackles that need a bit of a
Speaker 1: rebound after a rough week in Jacksonville? Which one do
Speaker 1: you have your eye on? Uh? First, middle, last name? Okay,
Speaker 1: all of them, So you gotta pick one. If I
Speaker 1: had to pick, it has to be the interior line.
Speaker 1: It has to be the interior line because you one, well,
Speaker 1: you talk about one one guy, one guy, give me
Speaker 1: one guy defensive line has Tyler biod really has to
Speaker 1: have the game. If he haven't been talking a whole
Speaker 1: lot about time, Tyler Beiodis has to have the game
Speaker 1: of his life because you think about somebody who's gonna
Speaker 1: have extreme pressure on them. You just talked about the
Speaker 1: depth chart. Okay, So Tyler Beiods at any given time
Speaker 1: is going to have Jordan Davis, Fletcher Cox, those guys
Speaker 1: go out, Okay, that's fine, Okay, neck next guys coming in, Okay, Lynnfield,
Speaker 1: Joseph In DOMICANU. Is that the next fresh fresh legs,
Speaker 1: fresh legs. Okay? Those that's the backups, Okay, and then
Speaker 1: you're probably not going to the thirst ring. You're probably
Speaker 1: getting those other two guys right back. So you're talking
Speaker 1: about somebody who's gonna have absolute monsters on either side
Speaker 1: of him. He looks to his left, monster, he looks
Speaker 1: to his right. Monster. Sometimes those monsters are gonna hit
Speaker 1: both gaps, gonna hit both shoulders of his He's gonna
Speaker 1: have to have his feet dug in the ground. He
Speaker 1: better have his dog on, screw in cleats on because
Speaker 1: he's going to have a long day. Matter of fact,
Speaker 1: y'all might want to do a goal for me for
Speaker 1: his massage because he's gonna he's gonna need it before
Speaker 1: and after the game. He's gonna be challenged. And we
Speaker 1: haven't been talking a whole lot about Tyler and what
Speaker 1: he's been doing this season, partially because of the musical
Speaker 1: chairs going on around him. Has been more of a
Speaker 1: topic of conversation. When you've watched him this year, how
Speaker 1: would you how would you grade out what he's done
Speaker 1: here in year three? You haven't, you haven't had to
Speaker 1: talk about him. So, I mean that's a good thing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, I think he's been doing his job, and
Speaker 1: I don't think that he's been necessarily challenged on the
Speaker 1: interior on interior front, but he will this week. He
Speaker 1: will this week He's gonna go from you know, just
Speaker 1: easy breezy, beautiful cover girl. So and now all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, he's gonna have to he's gonna have to
Speaker 1: figure it out because these guys are coming. I don't
Speaker 1: even mention Javon Hargrave. I mean, these guys are man man. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm worried. If I'm worried, I'm worried on interior line,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm gonna give you some some ease to your worry,
Speaker 1: thank you, sir. So Back in week six, and I
Speaker 1: know they didn't have any the Dominicance or Lynville Joseph,
Speaker 1: but against Philadelphia he played sixty seven snaps, which is
Speaker 1: one of the tops in the entire year for Tyler
Speaker 1: Beatis in terms of snap count. He allowed not one
Speaker 1: pressure it just zero pressures, one hundred percent win rate,
Speaker 1: one hundred percent efficiency, and the blocking percentage twenty six
Speaker 1: run blocks, forty one pass blocks. Blanked the Eagles in
Speaker 1: Week six, which is great. Worst game he's had all year,
Speaker 1: probably Green Bay, maybe New York. The second time around,
Speaker 1: he wasn't very good. Three pressures in each of those games,
Speaker 1: and then against the Rams he gave up three pressures,
Speaker 1: including two hurries in that one. He hasn't allowed to
Speaker 1: sack this year. I'm not as concerned in the passing game, Okay,
Speaker 1: I know those are those are the analytics, and in
Speaker 1: regards to the passing game, I'm more circoncerned with his
Speaker 1: ability to move these guys off the ball. And if
Speaker 1: you can't move these guys off the ball, he's already undersized.
Speaker 1: He's undersized already for his position. He is facing some
Speaker 1: of the more aggressive, larger humans in this league. And
Speaker 1: these aren't just big guys. These are guys that like
Speaker 1: to get vertical and create havoc. Every single one of
Speaker 1: these guys, Hargrave having Limpa, Joseph having pleasure, Cox having
Speaker 1: big baby, Davis probably the lesser of all of them
Speaker 1: in terms of creating Havoc. He's still figuring these about
Speaker 1: not the one that plays Celtics. Yeah, I'm playing him
Speaker 1: in a nickname. But his ability to get underneath these
Speaker 1: guys paths, that's going to be an advantage. But can
Speaker 1: he move these guys in the opposite direction? And if
Speaker 1: he can't, then what is this running game? Yeah, and
Speaker 1: he'll have help with Zach Martin two is right, But
Speaker 1: if you're one on one with those guys, who's gonna
Speaker 1: win that battle? Um, And there's not really a stat
Speaker 1: that really he says, there's not pass or pass blocking
Speaker 1: versus run blocking. There's a grade on PFF. So, for
Speaker 1: lack of a better stat his overall grade this year
Speaker 1: sixty seven in terms of pass blocking, fifty nine terms
Speaker 1: of run blocking. His exact his exact grades in Week
Speaker 1: six against Philadelphia sixty seven in terms of pass blocking
Speaker 1: and fifty nine run blocking. So it was right at
Speaker 1: his average of what he was able to do against
Speaker 1: Philadelphia in Week six. So outside of the front seven,
Speaker 1: where does Philadelphia challenge you defensively? Can these wide receivers
Speaker 1: get some separation, maybe help Dak Prescott get the ball
Speaker 1: out quickly in order to counteract what they do upfront
Speaker 1: kind of the same way teams are looking at the Cowboys. Yeah. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: I think it's a very similar approach. I mean, the
Speaker 1: only difference is these guys have really good dvs on
Speaker 1: both sides. Darius Slay is a complete beast. We know
Speaker 1: about him. And in Bradberry and you know he's he's
Speaker 1: hurt us. He heard his last time. Yeah, so, I mean,
Speaker 1: both of these guys are are ballhawks. Both of these
Speaker 1: guys are aggressive. This is going to be a heck
Speaker 1: of a challenge for this offense of Kellen Moore in
Speaker 1: these players. I know the Pro Bowl things just came out,
Speaker 1: but these guys are gonna have to go out there
Speaker 1: and show exactly why they have the starrun and eat
Speaker 1: them on Madden and why they should be classified as
Speaker 1: as as all pros in the NFL X factors. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: absolutely so. And this is a fan question actually that
Speaker 1: just kind of popped up on my phone earlier in
Speaker 1: the week. You said this is a playoff level football game. Yes,
Speaker 1: this is playoff level. This is going to be the
Speaker 1: toughest test the Cowboys will have prior to actually getting
Speaker 1: into the Wild Carter Divisional Round. Do you still think
Speaker 1: so with Jalen Hurts out, now that that breaking news
Speaker 1: has just come down, with Gardner Minshew out or I
Speaker 1: mean Gardner Minshew in for Jalen Hurts who is out
Speaker 1: on Saturday, is this still a playoff level football game? Yes?
Speaker 1: Why is that atmosphere? This the situation of what we
Speaker 1: know both of these teams have on the line, And
Speaker 1: I don't think as good as Jalen Hurts is, they're
Speaker 1: still going to be able to do what they do.
Speaker 1: They're not changing their game plan because of Gardner Misshus
Speaker 1: now the quarterback of this particular game. That alone allows
Speaker 1: for them to still be relatively dangerous. Now had this
Speaker 1: team had a totally different style of quarterback and now
Speaker 1: they're having to change everything, and now they can't utilize Sanders,
Speaker 1: they can't utilize Goddard, they can't utilize you know all
Speaker 1: you know, A J. Brown and everybody else they have.
Speaker 1: I would say, okay, yeah, we can, we can change
Speaker 1: our game plan up. But these guys are going to
Speaker 1: be able to run the same exact offense regardless of
Speaker 1: who's that quarterback. And that's why I think that even
Speaker 1: though that quarterback is not gonna be as talented, these
Speaker 1: guys can still hurt you so and that part of
Speaker 1: that is on the defensive side of the football because
Speaker 1: they're not effected at all outside of what they do,
Speaker 1: and they're still one of the best pass rush is
Speaker 1: one of the best secondaries. I mean, you look at
Speaker 1: even the secondary for this Philadelphia team and some of
Speaker 1: the guys they have. Darius Layser, pro Bowler, and for
Speaker 1: a reason, he's one of the best zone coverage corners
Speaker 1: and even press corner. He does it all well. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's been one of the best in the league for
Speaker 1: a reason. But where do they challenge you outside of
Speaker 1: the quarterback position that worries you the most offensively and defensively.
Speaker 1: I would say their secondary. Okay, I would say their
Speaker 1: secondary with the issues that even more so than their
Speaker 1: front seven. Well I thought you said outside of that, No,
Speaker 1: outside of the quarterback position. Oh is it the front seven? Yeah? Okay,
Speaker 1: so the outside of the front seven now, yeah, outside.
Speaker 1: So we talked about that enough of the reason why
Speaker 1: it's because you Dallas needs to run a ball to
Speaker 1: get going. Okay, that's just facts. Okay, Dallas needs to
Speaker 1: run a ball to get going. In if they can't
Speaker 1: run a ball to get going. Now you're face yourself
Speaker 1: in a situation where Dak's having to throw this ball
Speaker 1: forty plus times a game. We know the results of
Speaker 1: what that what happens whenever he does that, we don't
Speaker 1: like it. Okay, Dak had had a relatively good game.
Speaker 1: I don't disagree with with Jerry Jones and his statements. Okay,
Speaker 1: Dak went twenty three for thirty last game. That's that's
Speaker 1: pretty dark going instant line. But unfortunately two of those
Speaker 1: seven were interceptions. Yep, so that's what kills you. If
Speaker 1: Dak has more of those opportunities and he's forced to
Speaker 1: throw the ball and thirties guys to victory, I'm not
Speaker 1: sure that I have full confidence that they win ball
Speaker 1: games like that. So, yes, they're front step is dangerou
Speaker 1: because they don't allow you to get going, and they
Speaker 1: don't allow you to get to your to your play
Speaker 1: action game if if if if that's your game plan.
Speaker 1: But outside of that, if you have to sit back
Speaker 1: and throw the ball, it's not like you're you're playing
Speaker 1: against bumps. These guys. These guys will make you pay.
Speaker 1: They made us pay last time. Now people can say, oh,
Speaker 1: well there's miscommunication and that. Okay, there's all those things
Speaker 1: that that took place, possibly, but these guys are still
Speaker 1: fully capable of going out there making plays. And they
Speaker 1: don't just make plays against Dallas. They've made plays against
Speaker 1: other teams as well. It's one of those things that
Speaker 1: and Patrick said this last time, but Dallas is beating
Speaker 1: themselves in multiple areas. But what happens whenever not only
Speaker 1: are you beating yourselves, but you're playing a team that
Speaker 1: can beat you. Yeah, then and right now, that's what
Speaker 1: you're doing. That's what you're doing this week. It makes
Speaker 1: things tough going into it with or without Jalen Hurts
Speaker 1: in the fold, and right now it is without Jalen
Speaker 1: Hurts in the fold. Breaking news Gardner Minshew the starting quarterback.
Speaker 1: On Saturday. When we come back, we'll pick some games.
Speaker 1: We'll tell you how to win some money on DraftKings.
Speaker 1: And we've got Patrick No see Walker online here at
Speaker 1: Talking Cowboys. He's making an appearance when we come back.
Speaker 1: Right after this, Todd thought it would be secure to
Speaker 1: jog in the Cheetah Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat
Speaker 1: repellent he bought online was reliable, and now Todd is
Speaker 1: trying to be faster than this cheetah that can run
Speaker 1: eighty miles per hour. But the good news is Todd
Speaker 1: has at and T five G. It is fast, reliable,
Speaker 1: and secure, and he learned the best thing to do
Speaker 1: is stop running and toss her the backpack with the
Speaker 1: beef stew at and T five G. Fast, reliable, secure.
Speaker 1: It's not complicated. Five G requires compatible plan and device.
Speaker 1: Five GM not be available in your area. See att

Speaker 1: no doubt about it. But and I'm sure there are
Speaker 1: plenty of listeners up north that are saying, Nope, it
Speaker 1: ain't there yet. It ain't there yet. It's coming though,
Speaker 1: It's coming back here with Isaiah stand back, Chris Beam
Speaker 1: running things in the back, and we have got our
Speaker 1: very own Patrick no c Walker joining us from a
Speaker 1: remote location, that big smiling face back on talking cowboys today. Patrick,
Speaker 1: how we doing. I'm doing great, got the foot resting
Speaker 1: up over here, you know, limited participants never DNP not
Speaker 1: going on ir up here. Let's get these plays running.
Speaker 1: I'm reading to run these routes for u QB one
Speaker 1: dB DNP, DMP, DMPs. Trying to get back in the fold,
Speaker 1: trying not to, trying not to lose his starting job.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's nobody else in here to replace you, though, Patrick,
Speaker 1: You're irreplaceable if we're being honest. So let's let's get
Speaker 1: into some draft kings and Patrick, I'll do my best
Speaker 1: to outline what this looks like draft kings wise, but
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott sixty one hundred is the total, Tony Pollard
Speaker 1: is seven grand. Apparently Patrick has seen this graphics, so
Speaker 1: that's nice. CD Aam is seventy five hundred, and the
Speaker 1: Cowboys Defense and Special Teams unit with pro bowler Cavante
Speaker 1: Turpin twenty six hundred on the bottom of the list.
Speaker 1: You can play for free for over a million dollars
Speaker 1: with your deposit on Draft kings dot com. I say
Speaker 1: I'll start with you on this one. What you got
Speaker 1: on the Draft Kings pick him. This maybe the most
Speaker 1: difficult one we've had. It's pretty tough because Philadelphia is
Speaker 1: good against all of these these fantasy numbers. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go with the defense and Special Teams. I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: with Cavante Turpin for twenty six hundred. Kyle, Okay, I
Speaker 1: like it. What about pro bowler Tony Pollard. That's what
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with. I think he's gonna have a
Speaker 1: big game because they're gonna rely on the run. They're
Speaker 1: gonna stick to it all the way through, and he's
Speaker 1: gonna test the edge, he's gonna get outside, he's gonna
Speaker 1: get to the numbers. Ain't gonna turn up field and
Speaker 1: torch the Philadelphia Eagles. Making a bold prediction. It's bold
Speaker 1: prediction time. I bet he runs for a one hundred
Speaker 1: yards this week? Who against Josh two touchdowns? Hassan Reddick
Speaker 1: a hundred yards and two touchdowns against Philadelphia this week.
Speaker 1: Let's see it, man, I would love to see that.
Speaker 1: Say it with your chest here on a Thursday, Patrick,
Speaker 1: who you got out on him? I'm going to say
Speaker 1: it with much just as well. I'm going with the
Speaker 1: defense and special teams. I think Fonte Turpin getting his
Speaker 1: first Pro Bowl nod and as an NFL rookie, that's
Speaker 1: gonna juice him up to make a big play against
Speaker 1: the Eagles. But the advantage slightly goes towards the Cowboys
Speaker 1: with Jalen Hurts being more or less ruled out. I
Speaker 1: think Gardner Minshew is a drop off from Jalen Hurts,
Speaker 1: though he can win the game. Be careful there, but
Speaker 1: I'll take the Cowboys defense holding the Philadelphia Eagles offense
Speaker 1: to two hundred seventy five yards of offense, keeping it tight.
Speaker 1: I like it. Patrick, Well done, my friend. All right,
Speaker 1: let's welcome in our fan picker this week. I do
Speaker 1: not have a standings update at the moment. I'm sorry, everybody,
Speaker 1: I don't have one. Sorry, guys. I will tweet it
Speaker 1: out today. I'll tweet it out. I'll get it out there.
Speaker 1: Make sure everybody knows the update and knows the standings
Speaker 1: heading into the final week of the regular season. Final
Speaker 1: two weeks of the regular season. But let's start things
Speaker 1: off with Mike in New York. Mike, welcome back to
Speaker 1: Talking Cowboys. How's it going? Who's going on? Guys? So
Speaker 1: you were our second picker last year Week five and
Speaker 1: you went a whopping five in one. I mean, you
Speaker 1: were fantastic. Can you can you follow that up? Mike?
Speaker 1: Can you can you find a way to get it
Speaker 1: done again? I hope? So there you go. And what
Speaker 1: part of New York are you calling from? I live
Speaker 1: I live in Hudson Valley. I live in Yeah. It's
Speaker 1: cold here too, man, it's real cold. What's the temperature
Speaker 1: right now? I actually it's probably one mo than in
Speaker 1: Dallas right now. It's probably about thirty degrees. Yeah, summer
Speaker 1: up there, Na, Na, No, yeah, he's saying, no, thank you.
Speaker 1: All right, let's pick some games. Let's start things off.
Speaker 1: This is the Thursday night game. We never get to
Speaker 1: pick the Thursday night game, but it's actually pretty good
Speaker 1: this week. The New York Jets at home seven and seven.
Speaker 1: New York Jets fighting for a playoff spot. Who are
Speaker 1: they fighting against? The Jacksonville Jaguars. And that is where
Speaker 1: this one is. Jacksonville, who just knocked off the Cowboys,
Speaker 1: going on the road to try and face the Jets
Speaker 1: on a Thursday night football game tonight, Patrick, who you
Speaker 1: got Jets needed badly? Jack wars Ryan too high? After
Speaker 1: that went over? The Cowboys? Give you the Jets. J
Speaker 1: et S. Mike, who you got up there in New York?
Speaker 1: I got? I got Jacksonville. Oh, he's gonna make some
Speaker 1: enemies up there. I like it. Yeah, I know, I
Speaker 1: I you know, it's It's just one of those things.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm gonna take the Jacks too. I'm
Speaker 1: right there with you, Mike. I'm going with the Jets.
Speaker 1: Left tackle for the Jacks out for the year, Cam
Speaker 1: Robinson had unfortunate for them. Uh Seahawks at the Chiefs
Speaker 1: Arrowheads Stadium. Seahawks has been playing good. Gino Smith's a
Speaker 1: pro bowled quarterback. How about that? And then you've got
Speaker 1: the Chiefs who struggled to get past the Texans. Can
Speaker 1: they bounce back? Isaiah? You would come to me first
Speaker 1: with this one. Yeah, I just wanted to. I just
Speaker 1: want to get It's in arrow Head, Oh, Kansas City. Yeah,
Speaker 1: going with the Chiefs, Patrick, hear me say that? Patrick? True?
Speaker 1: You got next time? Say it Louder No, I will not, sir.
Speaker 1: Chiefs got the scary against the Texans. They're back on
Speaker 1: their grind. I'm giving them. Going big with the Chiefs. Yeah,
Speaker 1: give me the Chiefs big, Mike. Who you got? I
Speaker 1: got the Chiefs, Chief Chiefs. They're not gonna lose. Man.
Speaker 1: The Seahawks just must be garbage. I guess if we're picking,
Speaker 1: we're picking all against the Chiefs, so or all with
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. I should say, all right, Giants on the
Speaker 1: road against the Vikings. Giants trying to wrap up some
Speaker 1: playoff positioning with a big win on the road up
Speaker 1: at US Bank Stadium. I'm gonna take the Vikings to
Speaker 1: win it. I think the Giants make it really close, though,
Speaker 1: and I think they get back within striking distance late,
Speaker 1: but the Vikings pull it out. Mike, who you got?
Speaker 1: I got Minnesota Minnesota at home. Yeah, it's gonna be.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be. It's gonna be a close game. I
Speaker 1: think Minnesota's gonna I don't know, though, yeah, less at all.
Speaker 1: I don't know, But I still think Minnesota's gonna pull
Speaker 1: it off. Yeah. Hey, hey, he picked against both New
Speaker 1: York teams up there, Isaiah, who you got? Give me
Speaker 1: the Giants, Patrick, Giants needed to remain in the playoff
Speaker 1: picture in a good seating. Minnesota's one historic comeback away
Speaker 1: from being wexed twice at home. So give me the Giants.
Speaker 1: All right? How about this one? Cincinnati going up against
Speaker 1: New England on the road, the Bengals at the Patriots, Patrick,
Speaker 1: you got. I don't think we'll see any more lateral
Speaker 1: plays from the Patriots. Give me New England. New England
Speaker 1: at home against Cincinnati and Joe Burrow. Wow, that's wouldn't
Speaker 1: taking set it with your chest? Isaiah. Give me the Bengals.
Speaker 1: Give me Joe Burr because it's probably gonna be pretty
Speaker 1: darn cold up there in New England. Mike, since Cincinnati, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow and Chase they're they're tough in the way
Speaker 1: New England's playing that I think Cincinnati. All right, last one,
Speaker 1: and this is the battle of the disappointments. Who is
Speaker 1: going to be the biggest disappointment this season? We might
Speaker 1: as well pick who's gonna lose this game, because it's
Speaker 1: it's more so like that the Denver Broncos at four
Speaker 1: and ten on the road against the Los Angeles Rams
Speaker 1: also at four and ten, two teams that had high
Speaker 1: expectations and have safe to say they have not lived
Speaker 1: up to those expectations this year. Patrick will start with you.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you who's going to lose. The fans um, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Broncos lose this one, and you think about the other
Speaker 1: teams that are four and ten, Cardinals, Colts are four
Speaker 1: to nine and one, but close enough. Those are four
Speaker 1: teams that are all at four and ten that just
Speaker 1: haven't played well this year. But we're either close to
Speaker 1: or playoff teams a year ago. I'm gonna take the
Speaker 1: Broncos on the road. I think their defense is good
Speaker 1: enough to shut down the Rams offensively, and so give
Speaker 1: me give me Denver to win it at Sofi Stadium. Isaiah,
Speaker 1: Let's ride. Oh God. I think Russell Wilson gives them
Speaker 1: the reason to give it to have hope win it
Speaker 1: to the next season. I know, gross, Uh, Mike, who
Speaker 1: you got is even going to play the entire game? Hi? Guy,
Speaker 1: I got? I actually got the Rams winning. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't trust Denver right now. Wilson is not having
Speaker 1: a great team. You trust the Rams? The Rams? You yeah,
Speaker 1: you throw Baker Mayfield into the fold. He's not playing
Speaker 1: that good either, Mike. He's not setting the world on fire.
Speaker 1: But you know who has been set in the world
Speaker 1: on fire? A couple of teams out of the NFC
Speaker 1: East and they meet up this week, the Philadelphia Eagles
Speaker 1: on the road against the Dallas Cowboys. Eagles at thirteen
Speaker 1: and one, with a win will wrap up the NFC
Speaker 1: first seed, the bye week, the division, all the marbles
Speaker 1: on the line for Philadelphia if they can just get
Speaker 1: a win this week, and the Cowboys at home at
Speaker 1: AT and T Stadium have a chance to avoid that
Speaker 1: and push it off at least one more week. We'll
Speaker 1: start with Mike, who you got this week for Cowboys
Speaker 1: and Eagles. Cowboys, man ain't been Cowboys. They gonna pull
Speaker 1: it off somehow. Thirty three twenty seven Dallas. I mean,
Speaker 1: we don't want him winning the division out of hometow
Speaker 1: New There you go, Mike in New York, bringing the energy,
Speaker 1: bringing the passion. Thirty three, twenty seven. He gives the
Speaker 1: score for the Cowboys over the Eagles. Mike, thanks so much,
Speaker 1: appreciate you calling in again. We'll talk to you soon.
Speaker 1: You guys have a great holiday, all righty, you too.
Speaker 1: He brings the energy. That's that's fun, man, that's fun. Patrick.
Speaker 1: We'll let you continue this one. Who you got um
Speaker 1: gonna be a close one, but give me the Cowboys
Speaker 1: by ten. I'm taking Cowboys twenty seven seventeen. Less offense
Speaker 1: with no Jalen Hurts on the field for the Eagles.
Speaker 1: Cowboys need a bounce back desperately to send a message
Speaker 1: to the world and get ready for the playoffs. So
Speaker 1: Cowboys twenty seven seventeen. Okay, I'm actually not too far
Speaker 1: off of that. I'm gonna do with with Gardner Minshew,
Speaker 1: and it's not a huge drop off, but it is
Speaker 1: a drop off. Give me the Cowboys twenty seven. I'm
Speaker 1: trying to think of a weird score, like a weird
Speaker 1: score combination that would get us there twenty seven twenty
Speaker 1: and I'm just gonna go with the normal one. Twenty
Speaker 1: four twenty seven, twenty four, Cowboys get the win by
Speaker 1: three in a tight one late a late field goal
Speaker 1: from Brett Maher enough to distance themselves and get the win,
Speaker 1: number eleven on the season. Isaiah, who you got thirty
Speaker 1: four twenty four? I don't. I don't know if Dallas
Speaker 1: gets the ring game going. Yeah, so I gotta go
Speaker 1: with Philly. Okay, that's fair. I don't blame you. I'm
Speaker 1: kind I would kind of be sad if we didn't
Speaker 1: go at least one Philadelphia, because that would make me
Speaker 1: think that the Cowboys would not pull this one out. Sorry,
Speaker 1: that's okay. I thought about picking Philly two, I really did.
Speaker 1: The difference is about six had split. Yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 1: want to say Dallas, but I mean I think Jalen
Speaker 1: Hurts costs Philly six points and I have the Cowboys
Speaker 1: winning by three. I had him losing by three against
Speaker 1: if Jalen Hurts was playing. The scheme is more about
Speaker 1: scheme than it is about player over there. Sure so
Speaker 1: I can see that, no doubt about it. But there
Speaker 1: you go ahead. I had Philly taken the first matchup
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia, and they did, and regardless of what was
Speaker 1: going to transpire ahead of this game, I had the
Speaker 1: Cowboys getting revenge. So just so happens. What's happening is
Speaker 1: to change a QB one for this weekend, but it
Speaker 1: doesn't change the fact that the Cowboys want revenge for
Speaker 1: what took place in Philadelphia's Cowboys. They've had this circled
Speaker 1: for quite some time. They've had this circled since that
Speaker 1: game in Week six, I mean ten weeks later down
Speaker 1: the road. They have wanted this one bad and so
Speaker 1: no matter what happened in Jacksonville last week, I think
Speaker 1: this is a team that's gonna be out to prove
Speaker 1: something heading into Week six. Team, but that's gonna do
Speaker 1: it for us this week on Talking Cowboy, there's no
Speaker 1: shows tomorrow. Merry Christmas, everybody, Happy holidays, enjoy your holiday season.
