Today we'll talk about the Packers defense. 0:00:52.920 --> 0:00:56.240 That's not what I said. We'll see if Dave has 0:00:56.240 --> 0:00:59.920 a little more optimistic view of the Cowboys Cowboys champ 0:01:00.520 --> 0:01:02.840 of being able to score against this Packer Stefens. How's 0:01:02.840 --> 0:01:07.000 everybody this morning? Good? Great, good, good good. We're just 0:01:07.080 --> 0:01:09.680 jumping right in, Actually we are. We're gonna We're gonna 0:01:09.760 --> 0:01:11.479 jump in unless you have something you want to say 0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:14.120 as a prelude to us jumping in. I don't know, 0:01:14.200 --> 0:01:18.560 maybe we could talk injuries or something before it's a cab. Actually, 0:01:18.560 --> 0:01:20.000 when I say jump in, that's where I was gonna 0:01:20.000 --> 0:01:21.800 go first. We were gonna go to I'll let you, 0:01:21.880 --> 0:01:23.959 I'll let you host. That seems to work a lot 0:01:24.000 --> 0:01:26.160 of the time because when I host, we'll hear about 0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:29.160 it on Twitter. We do hear about it, like you 0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:33.320 and all. But yeah, and I'm like, uh, he's coming 0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:35.760 back Thursday and thirty. Do your kids do that to you? 0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:37.040 Like when my wife out of time, I saw my 0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:39.360 kids treat me like Dad, you're doing a good job. 0:01:39.400 --> 0:01:42.160 But when's mom coming back? Like you know, all right, 0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:45.600 let's jump in. Let's talk about injuries because they like 0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:49.160 mac and cheese. Good point, Let's talk about injuries. There 0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:52.040 was a big injury for the Cowboys yesterday. Well I 0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:54.360 shouldn't say big injury. There was an injury to a 0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:58.280 player that is of note from name standpoint. People talk 0:01:58.320 --> 0:02:00.920 about him, and he'd been in active a little bit. 0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:04.640 But Charles Tapper breaks his foot yesterday. What are we 0:02:04.680 --> 0:02:06.280 expecting is going to happen, Dave, I know you were 0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:08.680 all over this story yesterday when it was breaking. I 0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:11.280 was literally all over this story because I was standing 0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:15.160 on Charles Tapper trying to talk to his foot. Not 0:02:15.240 --> 0:02:17.040 on his foot, but I might as well have been. 0:02:17.080 --> 0:02:20.000 I mean, like, if you've ever been in the Cowboys 0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:22.880 locker room, when a popular player talks, it's kind of 0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:25.640 it's really unfortunate for the guys that sit next to 0:02:25.720 --> 0:02:29.360 him hated for him. So, yeah, they should be a 0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:31.640 podium or something. Yeah, you would think that would make 0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:34.560 them make sense. I don't know. So Tap broke his 0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:38.600 foot yesterday in practice and act it was our very 0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:41.880 own Amber Garcia that got the scoop. She was like, hey, 0:02:41.960 --> 0:02:43.720 what's wrong with it? I felt so bad. No. I 0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:46.000 was going up to him to interview him for some 0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:48.960 almost Cowboys and I'm like, hey, can I do you 0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:53.440 have a few minutes. He's like, ah, yeah, but I 0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:56.160 can't go anywhere. I'm like, what do you mean? He's like, 0:02:56.240 --> 0:02:59.120 I just broke my foot, and I'm like, what are 0:02:59.120 --> 0:03:01.200 you serious? You said a matter of fact like that. 0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:03.880 I mean, and he's such a nice guy. He was 0:03:03.919 --> 0:03:05.720 still wanting to give me the interview, and then I 0:03:05.760 --> 0:03:08.600 felt horrible. He was getting you know, his crutches and 0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:14.880 his little boot on, and he basically told me, he's like, yeah, man, 0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:18.280 I can't catch a break. I'll probably will be out 0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:23.000 for the rest of the season. So sucks. It is 0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:26.880 a tough situation for him. I mean, well said not 0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:30.360 that he would have necessarily had a lot of opportunities 0:03:30.360 --> 0:03:33.480 this year because that he was already finding himself inactive 0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:36.240 and that's before David Irving was gonna be coming back 0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:38.600 into the mix. Um, so it was gonna be tough 0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:41.360 for him to find time playing time anyway. But still, 0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:44.200 when you go on ir you're kind of forgotten, You're 0:03:44.280 --> 0:03:46.240 you're out of the mix, and and that's a tough 0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:48.200 thing for players, Like yeah, I kind of feel like 0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:50.800 it's one of those things like dang, dang, that's that 0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:53.160 sucks for you. I'm sorry that. You mean, the organizations 0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:58.320 kind of happen for him. Well, you know, unless unless 0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:00.360 I don't know how it happened, unless and they had 0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:02.760 been wickery, like jumped on his foot and broke it. 0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:05.800 You know, this guy, it's all about self preservation. It's fine. 0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:10.000 I mean, practice injuries do not happen that often, except 0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:12.760 for the two guys that are from the two guys 0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:15.000 that get a lot of grief for getting hurt who 0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:16.839 have how they end up happen to them in the 0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:20.039 same week, within like four days of each other. Chads 0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:22.760 Green and Charles Tapper got hurt at practice. Chaz is 0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:26.039 apparently isn't bad. He's practicing again. But it's I mean, 0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:29.360 it's it's a little ironic. Nobody asked me in the 0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:33.560 media if Chaz had the Aaron Donald flew. I didn't. 0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:37.760 I didn't think that. But I don't explain what that 0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:39.680 means for people out there. They are a little slow. 0:04:39.880 --> 0:04:43.160 I think they got it. Aaron Donald pretty self explanatory. 0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:47.640 But you know what, who are we playing this week? Man? 0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:51.680 That hip? I don't know. I got feeling it today. 0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:55.720 What I tried to like research this is this like 0:04:55.760 --> 0:05:00.440 a thing that's ever happened, like in in any sport, baseball, bousketball, 0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:04.200 and it's like it's really happened. And then now that 0:05:04.279 --> 0:05:06.320 they say, well, you know that, maybe it's like that, 0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:08.159 you know what I mean, Like this is this a 0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:11.599 documented thing that somebody one time was facing Roger Clemons 0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:13.400 and said, I don't feel I'm not up for it 0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:15.280 today or something like that. I don't know. I can 0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:17.800 see it in baseball because you play one hundred and 0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:20.960 sixty two games and guys take days off anyway, Like 0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:22.960 you just get a day off every couple of weeks 0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:25.600 just because it's like missing a training camp practice. If 0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:27.880 you're a pro bowler, you know, you're just like, Ah, 0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:30.120 I could see a corner Thursday. I don't feel like 0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:33.560 it today. I could see a cornerback when the Vikings 0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:36.920 were coming to town and Randy, Yeah, I don't know. 0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:39.159 I have a hard time thinking a professional football player 0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:41.640 would run from it. A challenge. This is this is 0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:44.000 I know. I'm not saying Chas Green did that at all. 0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:47.919 This is an interesting segue. I'm not saying he did that. 0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:49.919 I'm saying it was brought to my attention. We're just 0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:51.719 talking about it. But now I don't think he did 0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:54.080 He's done that. I don't. I don't know if there's 0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:55.919 a lot of people out there that believe this, But 0:05:56.080 --> 0:06:00.320 somebody tried to call us out on Twitter yesterday and 0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:03.880 was like, why can't y'all just tell the truth, Like 0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:07.120 if you know one minute Charles Tapper's a healthy and 0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:10.880 active now he broke his foot, which is it? Why? Like, 0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:13.040 why are you guys both can't be this? Why do 0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:15.000 we even listen if you're not going to tell the truth, 0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:16.960 like we're covering up the center. I was like, dude, 0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:19.240 he broke his foot in practice, like three hours ago, 0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:21.640 Like I saw him over the weekend. He was fine 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:24.320 and as of the time of the show he was healthy. Yeah. 0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:27.920 And I was like, this literally happened ninety minutes ago 0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:30.560 and we're reporting it. I don't know what else you 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:33.000 want me to say, Like, it's not like they're making 0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:35.680 this up to cover the fact that, you know, so 0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:38.360 people get off their back about taco, Like you think 0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:41.120 you think the cowboys care that fans are aggravated that 0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:45.200 Charles Tapper's sitting here, don't. Yeah, probably have no idea. Yesterday, 0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:47.680 both of you guys were like cops at a high 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:51.200 school party, like everyone back, getting people to back up 0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:54.400 after what they were saying, like especially you. You know 0:06:54.440 --> 0:06:56.000 that guy who tried to come at you and you 0:06:56.160 --> 0:06:58.320 and then about five seconds later he's like, I'm sorry, 0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:00.680 I'm sorry. That guy's same, so he didn't just say 0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:02.800 I'm sorry, like He went on for like an hour, 0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:05.080 like I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, Please forgive me 0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:07.840 just I feel horrible. I'm the worst person in the 0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:10.520 face of the earth. Well, your guy was the same way. 0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:12.680 It was like, I'm sorry if you like, if you 0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:14.640 think I don't know what I'm talking about, like if 0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:16.440 you don't like my opinions, or you think I'm a 0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:18.600 downer because I think Aaron Rodgers is going to play 0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:22.200 well on Sunday, That's okay, that's fine. If you think 0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:25.560 that I'm like BS and you about you know, like 0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:29.760 trying to tow the company line, because you know, the 0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:32.200 cowboys are trying to hush things up because they don't 0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:35.160 want people questioning who they're making active on something. It's ridiculous. 0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:37.040 There are a lot of things I could say negative 0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:39.560 about you, Dave. That's not one of You're not that guy. 0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:43.000 I know that guy. I take that personally because I 0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:45.480 put a lot of value on Like what I'm saying 0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:49.160 to people is not BS. So it's at least what 0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:52.240 you believe, right, Yeah, absolutely, So when somebody comes at 0:07:52.240 --> 0:07:55.440 me like that, it's aggravating. All right, let's finish going 0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:57.080 through the rest of the injury report. There were actually 0:07:57.160 --> 0:08:01.400 some interesting notes on the injury report. Um yesterday. Here 0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:03.440 were the guys that were on their dry report but 0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:06.840 practice fully Cheetah by A. Woozier and Nolan Carroll, both 0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:10.120 the cornerbacks. That's a good sign for the Cowboys, Lyle Collins, 0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:15.040 Zeke Elliott, Cavon, Frasier, Chaz green Um and Anthony Hitchins. 0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:18.240 Which that I think was probably the most important of all. 0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:21.040 Burying the ladle a little bit there. Well, the reason 0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:22.680 I said it last is because I actually want to 0:08:22.680 --> 0:08:25.280 talk about him and because of the fact that he 0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:28.560 practiced fully yesterday. Are we all and do you all agree? 0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:30.640 And from the things we're hearing, is he gonna play 0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:33.160 this week? The understanding, I haven't talked to him one 0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:37.400 on one. I haven't talked to him. I have Oh, 0:08:37.440 --> 0:08:39.440 I have talked to him one on one four day. 0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:43.000 Let's listen. Yeah, that's it. That's okay. That would take 0:08:43.000 --> 0:08:45.640 too much time to explain how frustrating that is. That's 0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:47.640 a reporter thing. If you're not really reporter, you're not 0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:49.599 gonna get it. So but go ahead, what did he 0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:51.160 tell you? You had a one on one and now 0:08:51.200 --> 0:08:54.040 it became a forty on one. Yeah, it happens, um 0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:58.360 does it? Yeah, it does us really interesting though I didn't. 0:08:58.360 --> 0:08:59.840 You don't think about all the stuff that goes in. 0:09:00.120 --> 0:09:02.000 But he's like, yeah, I practiced him pads the first 0:09:02.000 --> 0:09:04.720 time I was in pads practicing since I got hurt, 0:09:05.520 --> 0:09:09.240 I feel fine. If he said, he said, if it 0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:10.840 were up to me, I think they could have pushed 0:09:10.880 --> 0:09:12.520 me hard enough to get me ready for the RAMS. 0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:14.559 But obviously that type of stuff's out of my hands. 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:17.360 He basically said, they're going to go look at the 0:09:17.400 --> 0:09:20.680 tape of how I played, and and if he said, 0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:22.240 if it looks good, they're going to give me the 0:09:22.240 --> 0:09:25.160 green light. He actually said, so locker room is from 0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:28.840 one twelve five to two thirty whatever. It's in the 0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:30.640 mid afternoon. He was like, by the end of today, 0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:32.920 I expect to know whether or not I'm good to go. 0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:35.720 So I'll go find him to day. And well, not 0:09:35.760 --> 0:09:37.400 only go find him today, but keep an eye on 0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:39.640 the injury report today. If he's full again today, that 0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:42.959 tells me everything I need to know. I feel very 0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:44.600 optimistic that he's going to be able to play in 0:09:44.640 --> 0:09:47.480 this game, which is the only thing I could think 0:09:47.480 --> 0:09:49.640 of as to why he wouldn't is just because you've 0:09:49.640 --> 0:09:51.680 got the bye week coming up, so why not give 0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:55.559 him another basically two weeks of rest. But if he's 0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:57.360 good to go, you know, if you're healthy, you're healthy. 0:09:57.360 --> 0:10:00.240 That's what people always argue about. So so the slip 0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:02.880 side to that, Sean Lee was on the injury report 0:10:03.000 --> 0:10:06.360 as a did not participate. Are you concerned that he's 0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:08.440 not going to play at this point? If if he's 0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:11.520 not practicing as of yesterday when last week, I thought 0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:14.080 it was kind of a game time decision type situation 0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:16.160 which would make you think he's certainly would be ready 0:10:16.200 --> 0:10:18.720 to at least practice in a limited capacity as of 0:10:19.080 --> 0:10:22.680 wedndsay of this week. Yeah, I mean hamstring. It seems 0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:24.679 to be, especially with this team, it seems to be 0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:29.120 the one injury where if it's not one hundred percent 0:10:29.559 --> 0:10:31.440 when you come when he comes back, you can see 0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:34.880 some reaggravation there. And I think with the bye week 0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:38.480 coming up, I could see where the Cowboys would say, 0:10:38.520 --> 0:10:40.200 all right, this is one we need to hold because 0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:43.600 we cannot have a lingering issue with Sean Lee. But 0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:47.079 you know, I think today's important. A lot of guys 0:10:47.080 --> 0:10:50.080 miss practice on Wednesday anyways, just just you know, Stephen 0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:51.880 Pie has been doing it. We'll probably do it all 0:10:51.920 --> 0:10:53.880 all year long and then we'll play. But I think 0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:55.760 if he misses another one today, I think it'd be 0:10:55.760 --> 0:10:58.280 a little bit more of a red flag that he's 0:10:58.320 --> 0:11:01.400 not going to be out there. I would, and I 0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:05.240 think we shouldn't just kind of gloss over the best 0:11:05.240 --> 0:11:10.800 player on the team being on the injury report. All right, 0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:12.760 so let's talk about that. Now he knows how to 0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:15.400 host the show. Let's talk about that. It wasn't length 0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:17.520 the injury report yesterday. Yeah it was, And that's why 0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:18.920 you have to kind of go through it because there's 0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:20.600 some things in it that you have to kind of 0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:23.920 look a little closer. But Tyron Smith, um, not where 0:11:23.920 --> 0:11:25.920 I was going. That's not where you were going. No, 0:11:26.160 --> 0:11:30.840 Ezekiel Elliott. I mean, now he practiced, But I'm just saying, 0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:32.840 this is this kind of a new thing that I mean, 0:11:32.840 --> 0:11:35.640 I didn't know it's just a chess injury that we 0:11:35.840 --> 0:11:40.040 it would say chess, Yeah, I mean, is that. But 0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:43.240 but my assumption with the guys that were full, especially 0:11:43.240 --> 0:11:45.559 the guys that showed up that were full, were guys 0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:48.560 that had nicks from the game. Yeah, and but if 0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:51.760 they practice fully, then my thought was that's a no, 0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:54.680 that's a no worry for now. Let's see what happens 0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:57.200 on the injury report tomorrow. If they are listed on 0:11:57.280 --> 0:12:00.560 there as anything other than full as of today, then 0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:02.560 we'll have something to talk about, right And maybe I 0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:05.760 have a different maybe you think something different at obviously 0:12:05.800 --> 0:12:08.360 you're you're reporting, so no, no, no, no, I'm just 0:12:08.400 --> 0:12:10.760 saying that I think that that the fact that he's 0:12:10.800 --> 0:12:12.800 on there and we hadn't really heard it much about that, 0:12:12.840 --> 0:12:15.240 I think that's something just to watch and monitor. We'll 0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:18.319 see because we've seen this already this year. Guys, Wednesday 0:12:18.400 --> 0:12:21.160 looks good. Thursday? Is that, you know, that's when Byron 0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:23.600 Jones popped up on the injury report. That's when Chad Green, 0:12:24.120 --> 0:12:26.120 I believe, for the first time, popped up on injury 0:12:26.120 --> 0:12:29.320 report Friday. New to me? Who was it on Thursday? 0:12:29.400 --> 0:12:31.839 Somebody on Thursday? But is it just me or like 0:12:32.120 --> 0:12:34.520 this is the first time I'm noticing, at least this season, 0:12:34.800 --> 0:12:37.200 when guys are popping up on the injury report as full. 0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:40.840 Like you know, it's almost like, okay, league, we're gonna 0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:43.320 report this stuff. It's this is the kind of stuff 0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:45.720 that typically every player you can list every player because 0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:48.559 every player, Yeah, I would think every players got something right. 0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:50.400 But but it just seems strange to me. They had 0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:53.120 so many guys listed that were new to the injury report, 0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:55.000 but they all practice fully. I don't know, it just 0:12:55.000 --> 0:12:56.800 seemed weird to me. Maybe I opened up the can 0:12:56.800 --> 0:12:58.520 of worms there about who the best player on the 0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:00.880 team is. But I think it's Zeek and I think 0:13:01.040 --> 0:13:02.800 we want to do a whole segment on that. We could. 0:13:03.280 --> 0:13:06.400 I think we did at training camp. I'm sure. Yeah, 0:13:06.480 --> 0:13:08.920 I think that's just them covering their basis. Lyle Collins 0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:12.520 is on there, and yeah, at you know, a month 0:13:12.600 --> 0:13:14.920 end of the season, I think everybody's probably fighting something. 0:13:15.160 --> 0:13:18.079 I talked to Zeke in the locker room yesterday and 0:13:18.120 --> 0:13:20.720 he seemed fine. I know, I mean, that doesn't mean 0:13:20.760 --> 0:13:23.719 he is. That's not always a great indicator, but I'm 0:13:23.760 --> 0:13:26.520 not worried about him until further notice. All right, Well, 0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:29.160 let's talk about Tyren Smith though, because I do think 0:13:29.200 --> 0:13:32.200 that's worth at least a conversation. We've seen this happen before, 0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:34.480 where we saw him pop up on the injury report 0:13:34.559 --> 0:13:37.120 limited and we were like, ah, it's just vet day 0:13:37.200 --> 0:13:41.520 kind of thing, and then the week goes on and limited, limited, questionable, 0:13:41.600 --> 0:13:45.080 and then doesn't play. Is this something that fans should 0:13:45.120 --> 0:13:47.200 be concerned about and keep an eye on? It is 0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:49.840 the same back injury that he's that he struggled with 0:13:50.240 --> 0:13:52.720 now for a while. Is this something that you should 0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:56.920 be concerned about. I think it's obviously his back and 0:13:57.080 --> 0:14:01.080 backs are bad and typically chronic. But I don't think 0:14:01.120 --> 0:14:04.560 this is necessarily related to the thing that knocked him out. Remember, 0:14:04.559 --> 0:14:06.800 back to training camp, Garrett said he's got some tightness 0:14:06.800 --> 0:14:08.600 in his back. This isn't related to the problem that 0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:10.600 kept him out for two weeks last year. I think 0:14:10.679 --> 0:14:13.160 this is that same thing I think from camp, right, 0:14:13.440 --> 0:14:17.120 got it? I think he'll probably have problems with his 0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:20.000 back for the rest of his career. Um, hopefully it's 0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:21.400 not bad enough to keep him out of a lot 0:14:21.440 --> 0:14:24.800 of football games. It should certainly be concerning. I do 0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:26.880 think Tyrant Smith is the best player on this team. 0:14:26.920 --> 0:14:31.360 So I'm with you there, Derek Um. So I mean 0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:34.920 it should definitely be concerning, But I'm again I'm not 0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:37.480 ready to, you know, assume he's going to miss this 0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:40.680 game just yet. I think that's probably more precaution than 0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:46.840 anything else. All Right, Nicky Wort, I mean like concerned maybe, 0:14:47.200 --> 0:14:49.080 but not like worried. I think you'll be out there 0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:51.440 miss a game and then you start to be right 0:14:51.840 --> 0:14:55.080 worried about it. But you know, it's just it's concerning you. 0:14:55.360 --> 0:15:00.360 You want one of your best players to be healthy 0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:03.840 and ready to go. But I mean because that that 0:15:03.920 --> 0:15:07.560 offensive line has already had some missues and all all year, 0:15:07.680 --> 0:15:11.400 and guys that you're expecting more from with Frederick and Martin, 0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:13.840 they've been good, but you've expected a little bit more 0:15:13.880 --> 0:15:16.800 from them. Tyron, I think, hasn't he got beat? I 0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:20.640 guess what Chandler Jones two weeks ago? Yeah? But can 0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:23.120 we can we play a not fun game for a second? 0:15:23.560 --> 0:15:26.480 Who would what would you do if Tyron couldn't play? 0:15:27.280 --> 0:15:31.120 How how would you handle that? You move Chazz to 0:15:31.240 --> 0:15:33.280 left tackle? Would you? I will say this, of all 0:15:33.320 --> 0:15:36.600 the game, of all the games they great drop, of 0:15:36.680 --> 0:15:39.120 all the games they've played this year, this would be 0:15:39.160 --> 0:15:40.760 the week where I'd be like, if I gotta go 0:15:40.760 --> 0:15:43.440 without Tyron, I'd rather do it this week than all 0:15:43.440 --> 0:15:46.760 those other weeks. I love for Clay Matthews huh. I'm again, 0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:49.120 I'm a lot less concerned about those guys that have 0:15:49.200 --> 0:15:51.480 faced this week than I than I am from those 0:15:51.480 --> 0:15:53.640 other And that doesn't speak That doesn't speak less of 0:15:53.680 --> 0:15:56.240 Clay Matthews and the green Bay defense as much as 0:15:56.240 --> 0:15:59.800 he speaks about the high quality of Aaron Donald. And 0:16:00.000 --> 0:16:01.600 I like that. I hear you. I guess, I guess 0:16:01.600 --> 0:16:04.520 you would go Chaz Green? Would you could play Byron 0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:07.400 Bell out there? Could move lyle to the left side, 0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:10.400 Chaz Green. I think Chaz Green too, Chaz Green and 0:16:10.560 --> 0:16:13.360 play Cooper at guard and leave everybody else the same. 0:16:13.600 --> 0:16:17.120 Then what if Chass is out, He's not gonna get hurt. 0:16:18.360 --> 0:16:23.040 Yaz is fine yesterday, he's good. If Chazz and Tiring 0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:28.000 are both out, then I would probably play forfeit. No, 0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:32.000 just go ahead and give up. I would probably play. 0:16:32.120 --> 0:16:34.520 I'd play Byron Bell at left tackle and Cooper at 0:16:34.560 --> 0:16:36.640 left guard, and I'd run everything to the right side. 0:16:37.840 --> 0:16:39.640 Sounds like a strategy. Let's roll with it. Gotta do 0:16:39.680 --> 0:16:42.080 what you gotta do. Yeah, all right, let's take our 0:16:42.080 --> 0:16:43.840 first break. When we come back.
