This show we're gonna finally die. 0:01:02.160 --> 0:01:10.080 We had been talking about no you talk about us. 0:01:12.000 --> 0:01:16.440 In fact, we've actually gotten some positive feedback. But anyway, 0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:19.080 we're gonna have to get down to business. But to 0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:22.840 kick things off, we'll get to the breaking news of 0:01:22.880 --> 0:01:25.440 the moment, which was revealed by Mike McCarthy and his 0:01:25.560 --> 0:01:29.720 press conference within the last hour, and that is at 0:01:30.080 --> 0:01:33.640 Offensive Guard the future Hall of Famers Zach Martin is 0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:36.120 done for the season. He will have a season ending 0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:38.399 ankle surgery. 0:01:37.959 --> 0:01:41.679 Which has been bothering him for the majority of this 0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:46.000 season that he's tried to play through. Uh, finally these 0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:47.160 last two games. 0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:48.040 Uh. 0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:50.880 I don't know if they had to. 0:01:50.920 --> 0:01:53.680 Tie him down or whatever, but it's like, Okay, we 0:01:53.720 --> 0:01:56.880 need to get a break here. Miss these two games 0:01:56.880 --> 0:02:00.920 and let's see where it goes. And he tipped it 0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:05.040 yesterday and I think most people missed it. He said 0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:07.840 something about that when he was asked if Martin would 0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:11.760 be back, uh in practice, and he said something to 0:02:11.840 --> 0:02:15.560 the effect, well, we're talking about some things and we're 0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:16.720 getting a test done. 0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:20.400 And I heard tests done and I was like, oh, 0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:21.680 I don't know about that. 0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:27.080 And sure enough, it's time to have the surgery on 0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:32.600 his right ankle. So it's season ending, you know. And 0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:36.600 he was already before the season ever began, kind of 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:40.440 throwing out, you know, some signals that this could be 0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:43.959 the last year of his career. It's the last year 0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:46.600 on his contract, by the way, not to be cold 0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:47.160 about this. 0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:51.320 Uh So that was going to be my question, Mike, 0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:54.799 to be just for the season entire. 0:02:54.720 --> 0:03:00.440 And Mike Mike pointed out that he expected uh aren't 0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:02.760 to be in the locker room today to do his 0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:09.240 usual weekly interview, so he said he can talk about 0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:13.520 things like that. He said, I'm sure that question's gonna 0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:17.160 come up, and it's kind of hard. You know, I 0:03:17.200 --> 0:03:20.760 don't know that you get an injury, does it like okay, 0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:24.360 I give or by god, I'm not going out like this. 0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:27.399 So there's two different ways it can go. 0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:37.400 But anyway, you know, back or not next year, because 0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:40.520 of the restructures they did on his base salaries, he's 0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:43.560 going to count seventeen million dollars against the cat. 0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:47.480 So I know that sounds. 0:03:47.200 --> 0:03:50.160 Cold, but that's the reality of, you know, trying to 0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:52.960 keep as many guys on the roster as you can and. 0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:56.600 Push that money down the road. So we'll see what 0:03:56.680 --> 0:04:00.920 he has to say. I think the locker room opens 0:04:00.920 --> 0:04:01.800 around one. 0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:05.520 Fifty maybe something like that today, so. 0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:06.920 We'll see what he has to say. 0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:10.600 So in the meantime, I am assuming brock Hoffman continues 0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:13.400 to be the starting right guard. 0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:19.800 And on the walk off, I was running out. 0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:21.600 Of time because I needed to go down and do 0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:25.839 my fan report, and no one had asked about the 0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:30.360 status of Giton because he did not participate in the 0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:34.120 walkthrough yesterday, and so I was like, I gotta go, 0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:34.680 I gotta go. 0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:35.440 Somebody's got to. 0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:39.159 Okay, Mike, what about geiton status for practice today? 0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:40.880 He'll be with the rehab group. 0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:46.919 So now you're looking at your right guard, Pro Bowl 0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:52.359 future Hall of Famer out, and your first round draft 0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:57.760 choice left tackle is probably gonna at this point questionable 0:04:57.800 --> 0:05:02.640 at best, which means it Doga continues to have to 0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:06.920 step in with Austin Richards already out on injured reserve, 0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:11.760 and then that means Matt, well, let's go's your backup 0:05:11.760 --> 0:05:16.680 swing tackle if Geiton can't go. So just when you 0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:20.240 think you got something going winning two games in a row, 0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:24.640 and then the injury bug continues to spread, not. 0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:27.960 Just on the offensive side but defensively. 0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:31.640 Diggs was at least able to be out there, and 0:05:31.680 --> 0:05:36.560 it was like a walkthrough practice in helmets. It occurred 0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:40.480 after we did our show. So he's missed the last 0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:43.200 two games, but he was running around. I saw the 0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:49.440 stuff that we're doing, so that looked better. But they 0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:56.680 figured he'd be limited today and then CD did not participate, 0:05:56.880 --> 0:06:01.479 nor did Cooks yesterday in the walkthrough, and Cooks is 0:06:01.520 --> 0:06:04.360 going to be with the rehab group and CD's going 0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:05.239 to be limited. 0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:09.200 So with Cooks, the same problem with the need. 0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:12.240 Yeah, I think after playing they probably going you know, 0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:18.600 and it had been well usually, so today's practice is 0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:22.160 going to be like the normal Wednesday practice where they 0:06:22.279 --> 0:06:25.719 rested veterans to. 0:06:24.600 --> 0:06:26.159 Make sure they didn't overdo it. 0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:30.280 So I think from that standpoint, tomorrow will be the 0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:36.600 padded practice, which will be more telling maybe going forward 0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:38.000 who can go and who can't. 0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:42.080 But when you look at it, I mean they played Thursday, Yes, 0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:43.440 so they've had a lot more time. 0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:46.160 Yes, to rehab and keep resting. 0:06:46.360 --> 0:06:50.520 Yes, whatever bothers you, I think the Cooks things is 0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:52.440 probably being very cautious. 0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:53.400 Yeah. 0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:56.760 And then Lamb, I'm sure the shoulder. They need to 0:06:56.880 --> 0:06:59.400 rest it as long as they can before he tries 0:06:59.440 --> 0:06:59.800 to go out. 0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:04.960 So no, no growing shoulder. Then no, no, no Lamb's 0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:07.680 shoulder I'm talking. No, his. 0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:12.200 Was a growing calf. 0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:13.480 Something was growing. 0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:16.560 Yeah, Okay, I'm glad you could say growing, because the 0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:18.560 last guy did this show with brought. 0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:22.240 Us could not say growing. He would say going Darling, 0:07:23.320 --> 0:07:23.920 it's Groy. 0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:28.600 Growing, should not say Groy. 0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:31.600 It must be he must have a thing. I don't know. 0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:32.960 I don't know, he's growing. 0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:35.800 Every time there was one, I'd say, so, Brian, what's 0:07:35.840 --> 0:07:42.760 the injury? So uh so that kind of gives you. 0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:46.640 I don't know if that's Debbie Downer update, but that's where. 0:07:46.520 --> 0:07:48.560 They that's where we are, that's where it is. 0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:50.320 And that's where they've been all season. 0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:53.280 Right, So what's different? Yeah, we we were hoping that 0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:58.960 after Thanksgiving, you know, I have this ten days that 0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:02.720 everyone would be showing up. But we lost two guys. 0:08:03.080 --> 0:08:05.239 Well, it's like the last I gave you, the guys 0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:07.520 that came back and the guys that were still out. 0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:09.680 You know. 0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:13.760 On Zach Martin, he turned thirty four on November twentieth. 0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:15.600 I thought he was thirty five. 0:08:15.640 --> 0:08:20.320 Thirty four, thirty four November twentieth, you know, I think 0:08:20.320 --> 0:08:23.120 it may have been the Detroit game earlier in the season. 0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:27.600 He whiffed on a guy and they showed the replay 0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:31.480 of it, and I remember saying at the time that 0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:34.520 he's got he's dealing with something, right. You know, you 0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:38.160 don't when you're a nine time pro bowler, that doesn't 0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:41.440 happen unless you're dealing with an injury. Usually when performance 0:08:41.679 --> 0:08:45.200 goes down. There's an injury reason for that. With a 0:08:45.840 --> 0:08:46.719 with a player of that. 0:08:46.840 --> 0:08:49.400 It has to go all the way down, because if 0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:54.200 you're good enough, then mentally you can stave off you know, 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:56.880 some of the plays like that. Yep, but if you're 0:08:56.920 --> 0:09:00.760 mentally mentally strong. But you know, I think he was 0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:03.079 at his last I said, it's WIT's end. 0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:07.160 That that was our first clue that it's going to 0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:09.000 be doubtful that this guy's gonna be able to make 0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:11.319 it through the entire season if he's well. 0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:12.800 Think about it. It's your right ankle. 0:09:13.640 --> 0:09:17.559 So and and you're your right guard, So what's your 0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:20.880 first move in past blocking? Probably your right foot's got 0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:22.760 to go down in the ground and you know, and 0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:23.559 you're pushing off. 0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:25.600 Can't wait for Natan Frisco to chime in. 0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:30.920 That's right, yes, And it was pointed out that there 0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:33.280 were times where you can see that right foot was 0:09:33.320 --> 0:09:36.080 coming up off the ground because he couldn't put enough 0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:41.360 pressure on it, and uh, yeah, that's that's just that's 0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:43.400 a shame that that that one hurts. 0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:47.600 And Zach Martin is the Cowboys nominee for the Walter 0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:50.920 Payton NFL Man of the Year Award. Correct, every every 0:09:50.920 --> 0:09:53.840 team has a nominee, and Zach Martin is the teams 0:09:53.840 --> 0:09:54.439 this year. 0:09:55.160 --> 0:09:59.600 And he's been pretty involved. And heck if he's you know, 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:02.960 I know, it's kind of a community type thing man 0:10:02.960 --> 0:10:04.880 of the Year, but he's also the man of the 0:10:04.960 --> 0:10:08.679 year in that locker room too. And and I think 0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:12.880 Mike McCarthy said it best. He goes the offensive line 0:10:13.040 --> 0:10:17.280 room is an illustration of his leadership because they feel 0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:18.760 like that's a really good room. 0:10:18.920 --> 0:10:21.760 How they've brought along young guys and it's. 0:10:21.600 --> 0:10:24.440 Him, right, think about it, when they run out for 0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:29.439 the game. Now, with Tyron Smith not here, the first 0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:33.640 guy coming out through the line is Sack Martin. The 0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:36.840 first guy that comes out usually when they do anything 0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:43.280 as an offensive line, it's Zack Martin. Now, I guess 0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:49.320 the metal goes to Terrence Steele is going to be 0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:51.200 the most experienced guy out there. 0:10:51.720 --> 0:10:52.440 Yeah, he would be. 0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:55.359 Yep. How many years are we talking. 0:10:56.840 --> 0:10:57.120 Five? 0:10:57.240 --> 0:11:03.000 Maybe this five? I think it's fi year. Yeah, and 0:11:03.040 --> 0:11:06.960 by Tyler Smith right. And by the way, speaking of 0:11:07.000 --> 0:11:10.160 Tyron Smith, he just got put on injury reserved by 0:11:10.160 --> 0:11:15.480 the New York Jets too. So here's the interesting thing 0:11:15.520 --> 0:11:19.120 when you look at Tyron Smith and Zach Martin. Tyron 0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:22.240 came in as a first round draft pick in twenty eleven. 0:11:22.720 --> 0:11:25.440 Zach Martin came in as a first round draft pick 0:11:26.000 --> 0:11:33.680 in twenty fourteen. Right now, as we speak, right now, 0:11:33.760 --> 0:11:36.040 they are both thirty four years old, even though there's 0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:39.320 a three year difference of when they came into the league. 0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:45.520 Tyron turns thirty five December twelfth, so he is actually 0:11:45.640 --> 0:11:49.240 is basically eleven months older than Zach Martin. But there's 0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:51.320 a three year difference in when they came into the 0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:55.760 league because Tyron came in and ye, Tyron came in 0:11:55.800 --> 0:12:01.280 the league at the age of twenty in this, I 0:12:01.320 --> 0:12:04.520 take that back, I take that back. Oh you're going 0:12:04.559 --> 0:12:08.480 to correct me. You're looking Uh, Tyron will turn thirty four. 0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:13.200 Zach is actually older than Tyrant. Yes, even misreaded. Zach 0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:16.120 came out after yes, three years by three years. 0:12:16.360 --> 0:12:16.800 Wow. 0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:20.720 Yes, Tyron will turn thirty four on December twelve. 0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:24.120 He was when he was young, exactly right. 0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:34.040 Speaking of so twenty twenty eleven draft Tyron Smith December 0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:38.040 birthday in he was twenty years He didn't turn twenty 0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:42.800 one until December of his rookie season. What's the day, December. 0:12:42.440 --> 0:12:43.679 Twelfth, December twelfth. 0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:47.360 Yeah, okay, yeah, well uh and so it was tyron 0:12:47.800 --> 0:12:50.040 third year. He was in college for three years, and 0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:51.600 he was young when he went to USC. 0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:52.520 He must have been. 0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:56.000 Yeah, he went at seventeen maybe. 0:12:55.679 --> 0:12:58.320 And then Zach was a five year guy in Notre Dame. 0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:04.360 And you see that's what happened. Happened, Yes, plus played 0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:07.000 four years as like me and me and Eugene Lockhart. 0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:09.280 I used to tease him because he came by in 0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:12.560 eighty four and we're damn a the same age one 0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:16.240 like man, how many years you stay in school? It 0:13:16.320 --> 0:13:19.880 wasn't college, a high school, thirteen years of high school. 0:13:20.240 --> 0:13:23.959 So it'll be interesting. And now both you know, Tyrant 0:13:23.960 --> 0:13:26.920 obviously has been battling injury issues for several years now, 0:13:27.640 --> 0:13:31.520 and now both have decisions to make about the future. 0:13:31.720 --> 0:13:34.720 Yep. I would imagine if the Jets were still in 0:13:34.800 --> 0:13:38.360 it and doing well, and if Aaron Rodgers you know, 0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:42.040 predictions would have come true, then probably timing, would we 0:13:42.040 --> 0:13:44.680 still be playing. I don't think he would have gone 0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:47.000 if he had anything to say about it. On the 0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:48.160 edge of reserve. 0:13:47.960 --> 0:13:54.680 List, let me check on his injury issue. This year. 0:13:55.200 --> 0:14:00.079 He still had that elbow braced up. It looks like 0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:03.160 the guy on the Fox pre game he comes out 0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:04.320 with all that armor on. 0:14:04.720 --> 0:14:05.840 That's what he looked like. 0:14:06.640 --> 0:14:08.800 Okay, this latest injury for tiring. 0:14:09.600 --> 0:14:09.760 Uh. 0:14:09.800 --> 0:14:13.439 He last played on November tenth, when he injured his 0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:15.920 neck in a blowout loss to the Cardinals. 0:14:16.320 --> 0:14:21.040 So well, at this point, you ain't messing around with 0:14:21.160 --> 0:14:22.240 a neck injury, are you? 0:14:24.080 --> 0:14:25.440 At any point you're not messing aroun? 0:14:25.480 --> 0:14:28.240 Well, I know, but especially after you know you've played 0:14:28.240 --> 0:14:28.800 this long. 0:14:29.200 --> 0:14:29.480 Yep. 0:14:33.320 --> 0:14:34.000 So there you go. 0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:39.640 So get a rookie at center. Second year. 0:14:41.120 --> 0:14:44.440 Basically came into the league as a free agent. 0:14:44.800 --> 0:14:49.520 Right guard in Brock Kauffman and Brock Kaufman. 0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:51.960 And then you he was twenty four. Uh, he's twenty 0:14:51.960 --> 0:14:53.240 five years old, all. 0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:55.840 Right, and then you're not sure what's happening at the 0:14:55.960 --> 0:14:58.560 left tackle midweek as. 0:14:58.400 --> 0:15:01.600 It stands right now, you had have to assume idoga 0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:06.320 if Tyler, well, of course it's still early on. Yes, yes, 0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:09.560 this is like like a Wednesday, because that's a Monday 0:15:09.600 --> 0:15:10.000 night game. 0:15:10.080 --> 0:15:12.320 I don't want anybody to remind me what I said 0:15:12.320 --> 0:15:14.680 about if they had to start a doga because you'll 0:15:14.720 --> 0:15:17.840 be in here on your own Tuesday. 0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:22.320 We can't lose you, Mike. We got to change the 0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:24.800 name of the show, and it takes a lot. 0:15:24.960 --> 0:15:28.240 And by the way, it'll be no shots. 0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:31.000 We got graphics and everything. That's a lot. 0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:34.720 So you've got Terrence Steele at right tackle, who did 0:15:34.720 --> 0:15:37.080 come into the league in twenty twenty. 0:15:36.160 --> 0:15:39.680 Okay, so this is as a college free agent fifth year. 0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:43.360 You have at right guard, brock Hoffman. 0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:44.360 Came into the league. 0:15:44.480 --> 0:15:46.640 Came into the league as a college free agent in 0:15:46.680 --> 0:15:51.160 twenty twenty two, two years ago. And at center, you've 0:15:51.200 --> 0:15:54.000 got the rookie third round draft pick Cooper bb And 0:15:54.160 --> 0:15:56.600 at left guard you've got your first round pick from 0:15:56.640 --> 0:15:59.800 twenty twenty to Tyler Smith. And we'll see where Tyler 0:16:00.520 --> 0:16:04.320 is your first round pick this year at left tackle. 0:16:06.120 --> 0:16:14.080 And oh, by the way, you're starting cornerback hasn't played 0:16:14.120 --> 0:16:15.280 the last two games. 0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:19.280 Trayvon Diggs. Travon Diggs. There is hope that for the 0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:24.560 first time ever, if Diggs can play this week, that Diggs, 0:16:24.720 --> 0:16:29.000 Bland and Lewis could be your cornerback trio on Monday night. 0:16:29.520 --> 0:16:33.440 So maybe before we take a deeper dive into Cincinnati, 0:16:34.560 --> 0:16:40.960 their strengths are basically where the Cowboys' two weaknesses we've 0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:42.440 just been talking about. 0:16:44.640 --> 0:16:46.640 So that strength is defensive line. 0:16:47.040 --> 0:16:49.120 Some guy named Hendrickson. 0:16:49.200 --> 0:16:50.160 As adge rusher. 0:16:50.320 --> 0:16:51.480 Yeah, I heard that, that guy. 0:16:51.640 --> 0:16:55.240 And I think I didn't look it up, but I'll 0:16:55.240 --> 0:16:58.080 take the word. Somebody mentioned he's leading the league and. 0:16:58.360 --> 0:17:01.400 Exactly eleven and a half sacks, and I guess how 0:17:01.440 --> 0:17:02.480 many he had last year? 0:17:04.359 --> 0:17:05.160 Eleven and a half. 0:17:05.240 --> 0:17:07.360 Nope, we had seventeen and a half last year. 0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:09.760 He's on his way over the lote. 0:17:09.760 --> 0:17:13.960 Trey Hendrickson, where's number ninety one for yours? Cincinnati Bengals 0:17:14.440 --> 0:17:18.639 the last four years fifty one sacks, so it's not 0:17:18.840 --> 0:17:23.119 like a one year he wonder. 0:17:23.320 --> 0:17:26.679 And then on the other side of the ball, the 0:17:26.760 --> 0:17:34.800 quarterback leads the league in yards passing, completions, attempts, and 0:17:34.880 --> 0:17:40.160 touchdowns with thirty and you would certainly hope Diggs could play. 0:17:40.480 --> 0:17:43.600 And they've got a wide receiver who leads the league 0:17:43.920 --> 0:17:49.480 in receiving yards and touchdowns with thirteen and Jamar. 0:17:49.320 --> 0:17:54.480 Chase and frustration, so he's coming here pissed off every week. 0:17:54.560 --> 0:17:56.440 He's pissed off. That's probably why they won't pay it 0:17:56.720 --> 0:17:58.800 keep him playing pissed off. 0:18:00.800 --> 0:18:04.840 His So we're going to talk about the cowboys chances 0:18:04.880 --> 0:18:09.399 of beating the four and eight Bengals. That Vegas doesn't 0:18:09.440 --> 0:18:12.240 think they have a chance when we're next. 0:18:12.000 --> 0:18:15.040 Here, so they don't think the Cowboys have a chance. 0:18:15.080 --> 0:18:18.040 I saw that they were five and a half points underdogs. 0:18:18.080 --> 0:18:18.520 I've seen it. 0:18:19.840 --> 0:18:21.840 Well, we're going to discuss. 0:18:22.000 --> 0:18:23.320 So surprised about that? 0:18:23.440 --> 0:18:23.640 Bill? 0:18:23.920 --> 0:18:26.920 Come on, we have one home win. Why are you 0:18:27.040 --> 0:18:28.119 so surprised about that? 0:18:28.920 --> 0:18:30.480 We'll talk about that next. 0:18:31.040 --> 0:18:34.080 Cincinnati has those numbers that you just called out. 0:18:34.000 --> 0:18:37.440 And a four and eight record, and they they're the 0:18:38.119 --> 0:18:42.080 second team in history, along with the two thousand and 0:18:42.080 --> 0:18:47.800 two Kansas City Chiefs, to have four losses this season 0:18:47.840 --> 0:18:49.720 in which they've scored over thirty points. 0:18:50.200 --> 0:18:51.600 Oh, I got a good one for you. 0:18:53.680 --> 0:18:56.560 Yeah, but that's how good this offense is. Let's look 0:18:56.600 --> 0:18:59.119 at that. I love your optimism, man, I love. 0:18:59.200 --> 0:19:03.640 I'm just looking at way you approach it. They got 0:19:03.640 --> 0:19:04.880 a worse record than this team. 0:19:04.880 --> 0:19:07.280 An I'm gonna give you some clarity on that four 0:19:07.359 --> 0:19:07.680 and eight. 0:19:07.720 --> 0:19:10.000 Okay, okay, thank you, that's what I like. 0:19:12.680 --> 0:19:17.200 Clarity.
