Welcome to another edition 0:00:36.080 --> 0:00:38.840 of The Break Life s WBC Mortgage Studios at the Star. 0:00:39.440 --> 0:00:42.800 It's casual, mondays, I guess I didn't get the memo, 0:00:42.960 --> 0:00:45.000 but but everybody else is here in account it for 0:00:45.280 --> 0:00:49.160 you have meetings and stuff, right yeah? Well I don't 0:00:49.560 --> 0:00:51.519 so so you can just do whatever you want to do, 0:00:51.640 --> 0:00:54.320 right yeah? Who what HR says about what we should with? 0:00:54.480 --> 0:00:56.760 I ran into the director of HR. He was good 0:00:56.760 --> 0:00:59.880 in the cafeteria and she goes, you fight, You fight, Dave. 0:01:01.560 --> 0:01:03.600 I mean, I guess you was that was good? Perfect 0:01:03.800 --> 0:01:06.240 If you looked like Obi wan Kenobi to her? No, 0:01:07.080 --> 0:01:09.440 I guess you weren't wearing the hood at that point. No, 0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:11.840 which would be strange as to why you didn't come 0:01:11.880 --> 0:01:13.360 get on the air and say it's a good time 0:01:13.400 --> 0:01:15.680 to put on the hood. I'm Dave Hoodie today, like 0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:23.399 Darth Hoodie, Bill Belichick. I'm channeling my inner except it's yeah, 0:01:23.800 --> 0:01:27.399 so strange. Victory Monday. It is victory Monday. Cowboys get 0:01:27.440 --> 0:01:30.280 a big win yesterday, and according to a couple of 0:01:30.319 --> 0:01:33.959 people on in this group, it was a needed win. 0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:35.959 If they didn't win that the season was basically over. 0:01:36.000 --> 0:01:37.759 I think that's what you said. He I never said 0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:40.640 the season would be over if they lost this game, 0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:44.200 but I thought it was a significant game. It was 0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:47.920 a significant game. Cowboys win thirty three nineteen in what 0:01:48.080 --> 0:01:51.240 was ball accounts like a monthsoon, Like the rain was 0:01:51.320 --> 0:01:53.440 really there was a ton of rain. And I can't 0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:55.360 remember a game. I'm sure there's been some. I can't 0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:57.600 remember a game that I've been at where there was 0:01:57.640 --> 0:01:59.639 as much rain from start to finish, Like it started 0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:00.760 in the beginn and it was just kind of a 0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:03.080 drizzle and it picked up and when he picked up, 0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:04.960 it didn't seem to ever stop. It seemed like it 0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:08.400 was just a constant rain. You heard Dak talk about 0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:10.480 it after the game, talk about how the balls got 0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:12.679 heavier and heavier, and it just it was a tough 0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:16.560 Those were tough conditions to play it. Yeah, Like it 0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:18.800 sucked for I mean for them we were drying the 0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:22.200 press box, but I was. I actually I wanted to 0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:24.720 go out. None of y'all. Y'all were all smart enough 0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:26.560 not to join me, but I wanted to go out 0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:28.600 at the end, just to kind of get a feel 0:02:28.680 --> 0:02:30.560 for what it was like out there. How long were 0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:34.080 you went on the plane, Like the whole way back wet. Yeah. 0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:36.400 When I changed like to go to bed, I was 0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:39.800 still kind of drying off. Like it was just like 0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:45.359 soaking wet, just NonStop from about late second quarter until 0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:49.200 we got on the plane. It did not stop. Yeah. 0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:52.440 Like one of the reporters asked Dak last night, He's like, 0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:55.720 can you please explain how does it feel to be 0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:58.359 playing under the rain so that fans can really get 0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:01.680 an idea what it's like. Well, just go outside when 0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:04.160 it's raining and throw the ball and see how it feels. 0:03:04.480 --> 0:03:09.600 Go find out for yourself. Yeah. So yeah, they've wanted 0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:11.800 to find out for himself to see what it was 0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:14.280 like out there, right, And he did, and you figured 0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:17.520 out that it was not fun right. Basically, yeah, it 0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:19.639 was nice in the rainy and cold. But let's get 0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:21.120 into some of the more some more of the more 0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:23.240 interesting points of the game. And I think it has 0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:26.480 to start with Ezekiel Elliott. This guy is just playing 0:03:26.520 --> 0:03:28.799 phenomenal football right now. And I think it all starts 0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:31.480 with the fact that that offensive line is playing phenomenal 0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:34.400 football right now. Once they started kind of getting their 0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:37.240 thing together, they started to see these holes open up. 0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:39.240 And when when Zeke sees holes and he gets through 0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:41.480 them and he makes big runs for them. Yesterday he 0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:44.040 has thirty three carries, one hundred and fifty yards four 0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:48.240 point five average, two touchdowns. Talk about how he performed, Nick, 0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:49.960 what you what'd you see out there? Well? I just 0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:52.520 thought it was one of those games where you know, 0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:55.720 with the rain the way it was, you need somebody 0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:57.800 to just grind out some yards, and I thought he 0:03:57.920 --> 0:04:02.080 did that. I thought it was nothing flash, no touchdowns 0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:06.800 runs like we saw two weeks before in San Francisco 0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:09.120 or a week before in San Francisco. But but this 0:04:09.240 --> 0:04:12.559 was just kind of more of your Nfcees Cowboys Redskins 0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:15.560 type of game. And I thought he really did U 0:04:16.120 --> 0:04:18.960 he played well when the offense. It was gonna be 0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:21.800 tough to move the ball. It is tougher to throw it, 0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:24.280 especially in the red zone. And I thought he did 0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:28.400 an excellent job for them. This. Uh. The interesting thing 0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:30.800 about all of this when it comes to Ezequiel Elliott 0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:35.120 is as of today, the whole narrative changes. Even though 0:04:35.120 --> 0:04:36.840 he had such a great game this week and has 0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:40.719 been playing well the last couple of weeks, everything could 0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:44.080 change today. Will go to our legal expert here, David Hellman, 0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:46.680 who wears a hoodie now tell us, like what the 0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:48.840 hood don't like that? Don't like the hood I made 0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:52.520 a popular but hey, what's happening today? What is the 0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:54.479 layout of what's happening in a day? With regard to 0:04:54.480 --> 0:04:58.240 Ezekiel Elliott in his court case, Zeke did not fly 0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:01.320 back with the team last night because he is going 0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:07.280 to his hearing with Judge Catherine Failure fail in the 0:05:07.320 --> 0:05:09.479 second District of New York today. It's supposed to start 0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:12.480 about four pm. I don't think this is one like 0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:16.320 La two weeks ago. Was unique because that was just 0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:20.200 a trro. It wasn't an injunction like that. Hearing took 0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:22.320 what an hour and we got a ruling later that day. 0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:24.760 I'm not under the impression that's going to happen today. 0:05:24.960 --> 0:05:27.560 There's gonna be a hearing today, and then we will 0:05:27.839 --> 0:05:31.080 hear what's going to happen sometime this week. I think 0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:33.840 I'll be surprised if we actually get a ruling tonight. 0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:37.560 I think that's gonna come later. But the judge, you know, 0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:40.360 we had Daniel Wallack on our show a couple weeks ago. 0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:42.800 He laid all this out. That's happening today. The judge 0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:45.520 that was supposed to hear that, who wasn't there at 0:05:45.520 --> 0:05:48.880 the time, is going to hear this situation and decide 0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:53.240 whether or not to grant him an injunction. There are 0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:57.360 steps he can take if he loses this hearing, he 0:05:57.400 --> 0:06:00.479 can appeal again, but I believe he have to do 0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:03.880 that while suspended. So this week we're going to find 0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:06.440 out whether probably he plays for the rest of the 0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:11.520 season or he continues this fight while he's serving his suspension. Yeah, 0:06:11.560 --> 0:06:13.560 and the injunction, just to be clear, the way I 0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:16.720 understand it is, what they're basically going to be hearing 0:06:16.760 --> 0:06:20.480 today is the argument that Zeke should be able to 0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:23.520 play while this makes its way right through the court 0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:26.920 while the court cases is proceeding. The NFL is obviously 0:06:26.960 --> 0:06:29.640 saying that they don't want him playing during that time. 0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:32.520 His representatives are saying there is undo I mean, there 0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:35.560 is a harm that cannot be undone to Zeke if 0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:38.520 he has to miss time and then has proven proven 0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:42.360 to be wins his case in the end. So the 0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:45.040 judge has to decide whether there's enough merit in this 0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:48.680 case that Zeke has enough of a case that he 0:06:48.680 --> 0:06:51.080 should be able to play, and that there is going 0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:53.559 to be unreparable harm done to him if he doesn't 0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:55.640 get to play in the meantime. So a lot to 0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:58.599 be able to figure out. But David sounds like that's 0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:00.839 not a decision and necessarily come today. It's a decision. 0:07:00.880 --> 0:07:03.600 It may come at some point this week, you would presume, 0:07:04.240 --> 0:07:05.960 and then we'd find out whether he can play. At 0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:09.040 this point, I'm saying myself up for failure by trying 0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:12.280 to predict it. But I bet I'm like, this also 0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:14.280 doesn't seem like something that's going to drag out until 0:07:14.320 --> 0:07:17.080 Friday at close time, Like I'm I think like by 0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:21.040 Wednesday evening we'll know. That's just sort of my gut 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:23.880 and the reality is the judge I assume could make 0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:26.560 a bench decision there. But I don't I agree with you. 0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:28.000 I don't think it does happen, but I think it's 0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:30.080 probably gonna be a little bit for her deliberate. I'm 0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:32.560 like I said, the last hearing for the tro took 0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:34.760 like fifty minutes. I'm under the impression this one's going 0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:36.640 to take a couple like a few hours. I would 0:07:36.680 --> 0:07:39.880 be again, I'd be surprised if we hear anything definitive tonight. Okay, 0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:43.120 So I just don't think it'll go past Tuesday. I mean, 0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:46.200 I know that the NFL work, I mean, the court systems, 0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:48.000 they don't care about the NFL and all that I 0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:50.800 know about. But I just I just don't feel like 0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:54.640 it'll well. Okay, if it does go past Tuesday, I 0:07:54.680 --> 0:07:58.320 think the I think that he probably will play. I mean, 0:07:58.600 --> 0:08:00.600 now I don't. I don't know about that, just because 0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:03.400 the NFL. One of the things that the NFL got 0:08:03.440 --> 0:08:06.800 criticized about was for them to now claim that there 0:08:06.800 --> 0:08:10.240 would be irreparable harm to them if Ezechuel is allowed 0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:13.720 to play. One of the arguments people brought up was, well, 0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:15.920 you were going to let him finish out a week 0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:17.520 and say hey, you can go ahead and play this 0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:20.239 week if the decision came later in the week. And 0:08:20.360 --> 0:08:23.360 in the last instance when when when the ruling was 0:08:23.360 --> 0:08:26.040 was shot down, they said he's just suspended immediately because 0:08:26.040 --> 0:08:27.840 they didn't by a week. I hear you, But I 0:08:28.000 --> 0:08:29.920 just I have a feeling like the NFL is just 0:08:30.640 --> 0:08:33.760 for purposes of how it looks. I think no matter 0:08:33.800 --> 0:08:35.480 when it happens, they're probably going to say this is 0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:38.800 immediate I think with how contentious it's been and how 0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:42.480 I mean ze, you know, you could argue with everything 0:08:42.520 --> 0:08:45.360 that played out before the season, like they were blindsided 0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:47.240 and they didn't blah blah blah blah blah whatever, like 0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:48.960 you know, you had short notice that this was going 0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:51.360 to happen. But I think everybody knows that this has 0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:54.920 been a possibility basically since the season started. And if 0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:57.480 he doesn't get the ruling that he wants, I bet 0:08:57.640 --> 0:09:01.440 he's immediate out gone. Yeah, So this is gonna be interesting. 0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:03.360 We'll see what all plays out today. It'll start at 0:09:03.400 --> 0:09:05.960 four pm, and then we'll see how long it takes 0:09:06.040 --> 0:09:08.840 four the judge to then make a decision. Whatever that 0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:11.959 decision is just not this shouldn't be groundbreaking if you've 0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:15.320 watched the last three or so Cowboy games. But for 0:09:15.400 --> 0:09:18.400 all the gnashing of teeth we've been doing about Zeke 0:09:18.480 --> 0:09:20.320 and like, hi, has he lost the step and he 0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:22.960 doesn't look the same, he is currently on pace for 0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:27.200 fifteen hundred and seventy seven yards and fourteen touchdowns. Yep. 0:09:27.440 --> 0:09:31.000 So he's right back on track where he was, and 0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:33.360 I think we can all agree it would not be 0:09:33.440 --> 0:09:37.079 great for this team's fortunes if he's not available. Yeah, 0:09:37.120 --> 0:09:39.200 saw in graphic last night to sit through. I think 0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:41.120 it was twenty two games. I think that's what he's 0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:44.160 played at this point. There have been there have been 0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:48.280 only three guys that he's second as far as the 0:09:48.360 --> 0:09:50.400 number of yards that he's had in the first twenty 0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:52.280 two games of his career. But it was touchdowns? Was 0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:54.760 it touchdowns? Twenty one touchdowns in twenty two games with 0:09:55.160 --> 0:09:58.440 and then one above him was Berry? Okay, then that 0:09:58.480 --> 0:10:00.760 wasn't the ground. Look Sorry, the graphic I was looking 0:10:00.840 --> 0:10:03.480 to had three guys on it. The first guy was Dickerson, 0:10:04.080 --> 0:10:06.520 Zeke was second. The third guy was Earl Campbell. So 0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:09.000 it's like we're talking about two different pretty that's pretty good. 0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:11.680 He's company. He's in really really good company, really good 0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:14.360 comp out. We were talking about how he if he 0:10:14.400 --> 0:10:17.120 would have hit that one hundred and fifty yard mark, 0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:20.880 yeah on Friday, right on the note, right on the mark, 0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:23.240 right there, And it's surprising. We were looking at the 0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:26.160 stats and it's surprising to me when I looked at it, 0:10:26.200 --> 0:10:29.560 I'm like, he got that many yards, Like it's insane 0:10:29.559 --> 0:10:32.000 because you don't what was the longest one? He had 0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:35.600 sixteen fourteen yards? Yeah, but from the very beginning, little 0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:38.880 by little like but it's unnoticeable just because they're not 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:41.640 big place, you know, so when you look at the 0:10:41.720 --> 0:10:44.760 end result, you're like, oh wow, he actually did really 0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:47.480 really good. Yeah, in from the very beginning of the game, 0:10:47.480 --> 0:10:50.320 i mean he's hitting him for five six seven yards pop. 0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:52.000 I mean every every time he got the ball and 0:10:52.040 --> 0:10:54.280 then he have he'd have one that was like no 0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:56.640 game on one game. But then he hit fourteen right, 0:10:56.760 --> 0:11:01.120 So very beginning of the game, you're you're forgetting the 0:11:01.160 --> 0:11:03.080 first place. I mean that was a four yard run 0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:04.720 to be fair, but it wasn't. Well he made it 0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:06.720 up with a touchdown. Yeah, it was a funnel, but 0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:08.520 he got four yards. He definitely made it up. And 0:11:08.559 --> 0:11:11.839 that's pretty much what my column was about, was the 0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:14.920 defense giving up a big play on the first drive 0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:18.120 that they got in after, you know, a real drive, 0:11:18.160 --> 0:11:20.640 and Nugent's first field goal was a miss and his 0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:23.280 first carry was a fumble, but all three of them, 0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:25.360 I mean, when you look at those two guys, and 0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:27.880 then the defense as a whole won the game for him. 0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:30.360 So it wasn't really how it started, was definitely how 0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:32.680 it finished. Yeah, they gave up a field goal, touchdown, 0:11:32.679 --> 0:11:35.240 field goal first three drives and then didn't give up 0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:37.360 another score, and so I think it was too something 0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:40.040 or left in the fourth quarter. It was. I think 0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:42.199 it was a really really dominating performance by the defense. 0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:43.840 But we'll get to that ahead. So I just think, 0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:46.480 I mean, let's be let's be fair about it. It 0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:49.120 doesn't matter because it never matters when it happens to 0:11:49.160 --> 0:11:52.200 the Cowboys. But that was the most banged up football 0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:56.079 team I've ever seen, maybe ever, and got worse during 0:11:56.160 --> 0:11:58.920 and it got worse. Yeah, I've just never seen anything 0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:00.880 like what the Redskins are going through right now on 0:12:00.920 --> 0:12:03.280 their offensive line and then just you know, even their 0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:07.200 blocking tight ends and it was a mess for them. Uh, 0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:10.040 you don't feel sorry for him, just the way it is. 0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:13.320 But I don't feel sorry. You take they said, you 0:12:13.320 --> 0:12:16.520 don't feel okay, though I heard no, no, you don't 0:12:16.520 --> 0:12:19.679 feel sorry. Okay, but but you you know it's you 0:12:19.679 --> 0:12:22.720 just remember, okay, that you can you can acknowledge that 0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:25.240 both things can be true, Like so few people want 0:12:25.280 --> 0:12:27.680 to admit that in talking football. But it can be 0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:30.320 true that the Redskins are ridiculously banged up. It can 0:12:30.400 --> 0:12:32.520 also be true that it doesn't matter, and it doesn't matter. 0:12:32.600 --> 0:12:36.520 It's just that I don't think that Crawford, Irving, and 0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:38.640 Lawrence are going to be teammates in the Pro Bowl. 0:12:38.679 --> 0:12:40.960 I mean, just because of that. But even though even 0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:43.680 though I was about to say that way, those three, 0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:45.760 I don't know, those three won't make it all to 0:12:45.840 --> 0:12:48.840 the Pro Bowl as it don't know. I'm I'm waiting 0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:52.760 two of them might. I don't know. I mean, I'm waiting. Hold, 0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:55.280 I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop on those guys. 0:12:55.280 --> 0:12:57.560 But I did the DeMarcus Lawrence is on pace for 0:12:57.600 --> 0:13:00.600 twenty four sexs. David Irving is on pace for twenty 0:13:01.160 --> 0:13:04.800 three games five sacks. Even Tyrone Crawford's on pace for nine. 0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:09.359 He's got four through seven, and I mean, good goodness, gracious, 0:13:09.800 --> 0:13:14.080 did he ever look fantastic? What maybe for the first time? 0:13:14.840 --> 0:13:17.360 Oh wow, special delivery. I'm in the middle of a 0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:22.000 show here. I mean, okay, nice, well, we ruined, not ruined. 0:13:22.360 --> 0:13:25.600 I mean there are breaks. You can get water during breaks. 0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:31.160 Thanks Shannon, thank you. Get out. All right, let's selah, 0:13:32.800 --> 0:13:35.440 Let's get back to some talk. Let's talk a little 0:13:35.440 --> 0:13:38.080 bit about Dak. Dak yesterday had he was fourteen of 0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:40.680 twenty two for sixty four with a sixty four percent 0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:45.040 completion percentage, one hundred and forty three yards, zero touchdowns, 0:13:45.280 --> 0:13:49.600 zero interceptions, eighty two point two quarterback rating. I personally 0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:51.600 believe he did exactly what he needed to do in 0:13:51.640 --> 0:13:54.040 those kinds of conditions for them to have a win. 0:13:54.280 --> 0:13:56.800 I've seen some people who said he didn't play very well. 0:13:57.080 --> 0:13:59.240 What do you guys think about how Dak played yesterday? 0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:01.840 I think that you know, they won the game. That's 0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:04.880 in that situation. That's all you can really do. It's 0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:07.960 an ugly game. It's an ugly game, so why would 0:14:08.000 --> 0:14:11.559 it be a beautiful performance from from the quarterback. I mean, 0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:14.680 it's just now. The one thing that strikes me kind 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:18.199 of oddly, I guess, is that Cousins talked about what 0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:21.160 they did all week long to try to prepare and 0:14:21.360 --> 0:14:24.080 Dak and then said that they did nothing to prepare 0:14:24.200 --> 0:14:28.720 yep um, but they didn't really have any other than Zeke. 0:14:28.760 --> 0:14:32.040 They didn't have any any turnovers or anything like that. Um, 0:14:32.120 --> 0:14:33.760 you know, handling the ball. Now, he didn't throw the 0:14:33.760 --> 0:14:36.560 ball well. I don't know if Cousins wasn't that great 0:14:36.600 --> 0:14:39.320 either throwing it so for like two two or six. Yeah, yeah, 0:14:39.360 --> 0:14:41.280 but that's what they do. I mean, they're running back, 0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:44.600 had what twenty yards so well, and that didn't really 0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:48.560 make mistakes. It's not not what one that I can remember, 0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:50.680 And I would say that's all you can really ask 0:14:50.720 --> 0:14:53.800 for under that condition and that type of situation. I mean, 0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:56.840 there were some balls that weren't completely on target, but again, 0:14:56.920 --> 0:14:59.360 and that kind of situation, I don't expect ball a 0:14:59.400 --> 0:15:01.480 lot of balls to be on target. I mean that 0:15:01.600 --> 0:15:04.640 that kind of game is a game where you're not 0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:06.520 going to be able to throw the ball as precisely 0:15:06.560 --> 0:15:08.920 as you normally do. It's just that's just the fact 0:15:08.960 --> 0:15:11.480 of the batter. If you think Dak played poorly, you're 0:15:11.520 --> 0:15:15.960 either stupid or you don't people I'm telling you right now, 0:15:16.080 --> 0:15:18.920 or you don't understand what the rain was like last night. 0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:21.120 Those are that's probably a good Those are the two options. 0:15:21.200 --> 0:15:23.520 Like you you're dumb, or you saw it on TV 0:15:23.600 --> 0:15:25.680 and you're like, it's not raining that hard, But it 0:15:25.720 --> 0:15:27.840 really was. And I actually made it a point to 0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:31.480 come here early and have breakfast and had some conversations 0:15:31.520 --> 0:15:34.800 about because you know, Dak doesn't give great answers about 0:15:34.800 --> 0:15:37.520 this stuff because he's Dak. I was like, at some 0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:39.600 point in that game, you kind of realized that you 0:15:39.640 --> 0:15:42.920 had to change the way that that y'all wanted to 0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:44.480 do this thing. And they're like, yeah, I mean, you know, 0:15:44.480 --> 0:15:46.400 it gets to a point where the rain's fallen that 0:15:46.480 --> 0:15:49.360 hard and the balls that saggy. You see Dak start 0:15:49.440 --> 0:15:51.720 missing some throws that you know he wouldn't miss in 0:15:51.760 --> 0:15:54.960 normal conditions, and you're like, well, yeah, and you know, 0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:56.840 we gotta lead. What are we doing here. Let's just 0:15:56.920 --> 0:15:58.920 let's just get out of here and not put ourselves 0:15:58.920 --> 0:16:01.160 in any bad situations. And that's exactly what they did. 0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:04.320 Dak didn't make any mistakes. He added, you know the 0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:06.120 element of the run game that he's had and had 0:16:06.120 --> 0:16:08.960 a nice ten yard run that to pick up a 0:16:09.040 --> 0:16:11.400 first a crucial first down. Actually, I went back and 0:16:11.440 --> 0:16:14.640 looked at it too. He completed five passes for thirty 0:16:14.680 --> 0:16:17.360 eight yards in the second half. Three of those five 0:16:17.920 --> 0:16:21.640 were third down conversions on crucial drives. He picked up 0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:24.680 a third and three to Cole Beasley on an eventual 0:16:24.720 --> 0:16:26.960 field goal drive. He picked up a third and seven 0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:29.120 to Ryan Switzer or a third and six to Ryan 0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:31.760 Switzer on a seven yard pass on another field goal drive. 0:16:32.040 --> 0:16:34.960 And he completed a third and five to deaz on 0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:36.560 the drive that let him run the clock all the 0:16:36.600 --> 0:16:38.480 way down to one minute, so when he had to 0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:41.280 have it, he still had it. And otherwise, why wouldn't 0:16:41.280 --> 0:16:43.000 you do anything but lean on your running game in 0:16:43.000 --> 0:16:45.720 a situation like that. I talk built for that. Yeah, 0:16:45.800 --> 0:16:48.360 I'd talked to a guy, one of the players after 0:16:48.400 --> 0:16:51.400 the game, and I won't say who it is, but 0:16:51.920 --> 0:16:54.960 this future Hall of Famer said that he thought that 0:16:55.560 --> 0:17:00.360 it's not Orlando. Sorry, it was a future hide in 0:17:00.800 --> 0:17:05.560 and not talking him. Jeff swam. Nice nice diving attempt there. 0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:10.120 Brendon Carr man, I'll tell you what. Hey, were you going? 0:17:11.080 --> 0:17:12.920 I want to hear this story. I feel like Jason 0:17:12.920 --> 0:17:16.679 Witten just said, it's not anymore. That's not football anymore. 0:17:17.520 --> 0:17:19.600 It rings like that, that's not football, that's not what 0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:22.760 that's not you know what we practice all week long. 0:17:23.200 --> 0:17:25.840 It's just it all goes out the window. He was like, 0:17:25.880 --> 0:17:27.960 you know how many red zone opportunities I was going 0:17:28.040 --> 0:17:30.520 to have in this game? And like it just changes everything. 0:17:30.960 --> 0:17:34.000 So even Bryce Butler was saying, how there's a play 0:17:34.040 --> 0:17:37.439 they put in for him. He runs onto the field, 0:17:37.760 --> 0:17:40.880 he goes in motion, he goes into the corner. The 0:17:40.920 --> 0:17:43.920 ball is supposed to go to him. He goes, what happens, 0:17:44.000 --> 0:17:47.240 I won't run the route. I am wide open. I'm 0:17:47.280 --> 0:17:51.600 sitting there by myself going hey, Dak hey, and he 0:17:51.680 --> 0:17:55.320 goes yeah. He goes just like, hey, I'm hoping over here. Hey. 0:17:55.800 --> 0:17:59.360 It's like it passes for me and that goes into 0:17:59.440 --> 0:18:01.760 dead was like, what's that? But that He's like, they 0:18:02.119 --> 0:18:05.280 That's why I'm in the game. So, I mean the 0:18:05.320 --> 0:18:07.360 point is as everything goes out the window, yeah, when 0:18:07.640 --> 0:18:10.760 that happens, yeah, and well, but the great thing is, 0:18:10.800 --> 0:18:12.439 you know you can argue about these things till you're 0:18:12.440 --> 0:18:15.240 blue in the face. We have we're very unfortunate to have. 0:18:16.359 --> 0:18:18.119 We we know what it would have looked like if 0:18:18.160 --> 0:18:20.480 it hadn't rained, because you saw the first quarter and 0:18:20.520 --> 0:18:23.000 a half of the game. They zipped right down the field. 0:18:23.119 --> 0:18:25.920 Dak was Dak got like five receivers involved on the 0:18:25.920 --> 0:18:27.960 first possession. He threw it to Whitney, threw it to Swain, 0:18:28.040 --> 0:18:29.720 he threw it to Daz, he threw it to Terrence. 0:18:29.920 --> 0:18:32.040 Terrence was set up. Looked like Terrence was going to 0:18:32.119 --> 0:18:34.640 have the best day of his season. And then like, yeah, 0:18:34.720 --> 0:18:36.240 like you said, it all goes out the window. But 0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:37.840 I will say this, we also saw on the other 0:18:37.880 --> 0:18:40.840 side of the ball too, maybe what could have sure, Yeah, 0:18:40.880 --> 0:18:42.719 that's a great They hit a couple of those. They 0:18:42.760 --> 0:18:46.159 hit that deep ball to the crowder, and I was like, Wow, 0:18:46.200 --> 0:18:47.639 this is this is gonna be? Is this what the 0:18:47.720 --> 0:18:49.960 day is gonna be? Like? I mean, that was a 0:18:50.000 --> 0:18:53.960 game where it was destined for, you know, thirty forty 0:18:53.960 --> 0:18:56.919 points of boat teams until the rain started. That's a 0:18:56.920 --> 0:18:58.920 great point. And going back, you know, I don't yeah, 0:18:58.920 --> 0:19:01.080 I don't want to name names, but conversations I have 0:19:01.160 --> 0:19:04.160 with people here is like, you know, by that point, 0:19:04.200 --> 0:19:06.320 by the time it really started raining, we had a lead, 0:19:06.400 --> 0:19:07.840 and we knew that they were going to have to 0:19:07.920 --> 0:19:10.840 throw in those conditions, which isn't good for anybody because 0:19:10.840 --> 0:19:13.240 they can't run. That's the problem. They can't run. Yeah, 0:19:13.280 --> 0:19:15.760 they only had what forty nine yards rushing overall? Yeah, 0:19:15.840 --> 0:19:18.600 three point three yards per carry? Yeah? All right, sorry, god, 0:19:18.680 --> 0:19:21.720 no good, It's just you're right. Maybe it is a 0:19:21.760 --> 0:19:24.199 little fortuitous because this team is built to handle that, 0:19:24.320 --> 0:19:26.840 and the Washington Redskins are not cloud at all. All right, 0:19:26.840 --> 0:19:28.400 we're gonna take our first break when we come back. 0:19:28.400 --> 0:19:31.159 I want to dive into this defense, which, although the 0:19:31.240 --> 0:19:34.159 rain was the rain, they did play I think what 0:19:34.640 --> 0:19:36.119 may have been one of their better games of a 0:19:36.200 --> 0:19:39.040 season against a really good offense. We'll talk about when 0:19:39.080 --> 0:19:41.120 you come right back.

Back to the brink, 0:21:43.600 --> 0:21:46.320 Welcome back. It's the second segment show lock Ins WBC 0:21:46.440 --> 0:21:48.680 Mortgage Studios. At the start, we're talking about the Cowboys 0:21:48.680 --> 0:21:52.440 big win, they win thirty three nineteen over the Washington Redskins, 0:21:53.040 --> 0:21:55.040 and we've talked a lot about the offense. Now let's 0:21:55.080 --> 0:21:57.920 talk about this defense. This is the second game in 0:21:57.920 --> 0:22:00.480 the row where they've had three turnovers, which I think 0:22:00.520 --> 0:22:02.840 is probably the biggest stat line for this defense because 0:22:03.240 --> 0:22:06.000 up until last week before the game against San Francisco, 0:22:06.040 --> 0:22:08.120 we were talking about that's the thing that they needed 0:22:08.119 --> 0:22:10.600 to do more than anything else, get some turnovers. They've 0:22:10.640 --> 0:22:12.919 gotten three turnos in both of the last two games. 0:22:13.119 --> 0:22:15.439 Why are you looking like that? Like no, what I 0:22:15.520 --> 0:22:17.400 start seeing they look on your face like not even 0:22:17.560 --> 0:22:20.680 that you not? I just I'm they got three turnovers. 0:22:20.840 --> 0:22:23.200 Was great, They played great, but they broke They broke 0:22:23.280 --> 0:22:26.520 my heart because because like the two dudes that I 0:22:26.560 --> 0:22:29.439 wanted to see make plays, Taco and Jalen had a 0:22:29.480 --> 0:22:31.760 shot at one like back to back to back, right, 0:22:31.760 --> 0:22:34.280 and they both broke my heart. Like I thought that 0:22:34.359 --> 0:22:36.720 was gonna be it for Taco, Like, Okay, that's a 0:22:36.760 --> 0:22:38.680 tough play for a defensive end to make. I don't 0:22:38.720 --> 0:22:40.680 know what he was doing back there though, he I 0:22:40.760 --> 0:22:43.159 mean they dropped and drops sometimes. Yeah, and then and 0:22:43.200 --> 0:22:45.639 then Jalen has a shot and to me, you know 0:22:45.720 --> 0:22:47.159 this and that would have been two weeks in a 0:22:47.240 --> 0:22:49.720 row where he has this amazing play and he couldn't 0:22:49.800 --> 0:22:51.680 even did the swipe and everything, and then they took 0:22:51.680 --> 0:22:53.920 it and he just broke my heart. But they did 0:22:53.920 --> 0:22:56.600 play really well. They did play well the defense. They 0:22:56.640 --> 0:22:59.840 got four sacks. Irving had two, Crawford had one, Lawrence 0:23:00.040 --> 0:23:03.320 had one. Uh, they had um you know, and that's 0:23:03.320 --> 0:23:06.679 that's crazy that they didn't give one to Scandrick. I 0:23:06.680 --> 0:23:10.120 guess because the ball hit Yeah, that's you know, Scandrid 0:23:10.119 --> 0:23:12.560 comes off the edge and then you know Cousins is 0:23:12.600 --> 0:23:14.399 going to throw it. He's about to throw it. I 0:23:14.400 --> 0:23:16.680 mean to me, if you're about to throw that the sack, Yeah, 0:23:16.760 --> 0:23:19.320 I don't understand that. Yeah, I don't either. But he 0:23:19.359 --> 0:23:21.239 had a really good game to Orlando, did I had 0:23:21.280 --> 0:23:23.600 a really good Um. You look at just everything they 0:23:23.600 --> 0:23:26.840 were able to do yesterday and all the defensive players 0:23:26.880 --> 0:23:29.200 that that played, well, who do you think stood out 0:23:29.200 --> 0:23:35.600 the most of those defensive players? Nick Wow? Um, it's 0:23:35.680 --> 0:23:38.520 it's a three way tie for sure for me. But 0:23:39.800 --> 0:23:43.520 I on the roundtable that we did Friday, I said, 0:23:43.560 --> 0:23:46.240 you know, I think Irving will have success. I think 0:23:46.640 --> 0:23:49.679 Lawrence will have success. Crawford needs to also come in 0:23:49.720 --> 0:23:51.960 there and play really well too. You get three guys 0:23:51.960 --> 0:23:53.960 doing well, So I'm gonna say Crawford, I mean, I 0:23:54.000 --> 0:23:56.080 thought he did a really nice job. Had it had 0:23:56.119 --> 0:24:00.800 a sack, forced the fumble and uh field goal. That 0:24:00.920 --> 0:24:02.480 was to me, that was the play of the game, 0:24:02.520 --> 0:24:04.040 no doubt. That was the play of the game they 0:24:04.080 --> 0:24:05.720 needed at at that moment, and they got it, and 0:24:05.760 --> 0:24:07.800 they got him in position. They scored two plays later 0:24:07.880 --> 0:24:10.280 in point it was huge, a ten point swing, which 0:24:10.320 --> 0:24:12.040 down nine and you go up one, just like that. 0:24:12.240 --> 0:24:14.640 I have no beef with that. Ty That was probably 0:24:14.680 --> 0:24:17.199 the best game of Tyrone Crawford's career, and certainly his 0:24:17.280 --> 0:24:20.920 best game since he signed that extension. Like I mean, amazing, 0:24:21.240 --> 0:24:23.920 But if all they do is block the field goal, 0:24:24.640 --> 0:24:28.000 it's maybe not that great. What do you mean? They 0:24:28.040 --> 0:24:31.080 just start right there, landed somewhere around the Dallas fifteen, 0:24:31.359 --> 0:24:35.480 and Orlando Scandrick picked it up and hauled butt to 0:24:35.600 --> 0:24:39.120 the Washington two or wherever he wound up getting tackled 0:24:40.240 --> 0:24:43.399 for your for a cornerback for a thirty year old cornerback. 0:24:44.000 --> 0:24:48.600 Eight tackles, two tackles for loss, that block fuel goal recovery, 0:24:48.640 --> 0:24:50.480 and I'm gonna give him credit for a sack because 0:24:50.520 --> 0:24:53.760 he got into one tackle for loss and a sac 0:24:53.960 --> 0:24:57.200 oh is uh oh damn? Well yeah one one still better? 0:24:57.280 --> 0:24:59.440 Okay one and one is still better than that. Still 0:24:59.440 --> 0:25:02.400 be a great sta. Yeah, he was outstanding, I thought. 0:25:02.480 --> 0:25:04.320 I asked him, I was like, was that the best 0:25:04.320 --> 0:25:07.680 game of your career? He obviously disagreed with me this game? 0:25:07.720 --> 0:25:09.240 Did he say, did he did he throw out a game? 0:25:09.359 --> 0:25:14.160 He did? I don't say. No, he had one ready 0:25:14.280 --> 0:25:16.560 in the chamber for me, But I don't. I think 0:25:16.560 --> 0:25:18.240 I disagree with him. I think this was maybe the 0:25:18.240 --> 0:25:20.719 best game he's ever played. Someone on the plane and 0:25:20.880 --> 0:25:23.720 in the locker room told me, just look at how 0:25:23.720 --> 0:25:27.159 many times he's targeted. It was scantry both times. I 0:25:27.280 --> 0:25:30.680 said that. But his point is that he doesn't get 0:25:30.680 --> 0:25:32.679 targeted a whole lot. When he does, you know, he's 0:25:32.840 --> 0:25:34.879 there's no separation, and he makes play. One of my 0:25:34.920 --> 0:25:37.240 five plays that don't forget about is the first series 0:25:37.240 --> 0:25:39.919 of the game. After the fumble it's third and five, 0:25:40.280 --> 0:25:42.880 there's a crossing route over the middle to Grant makes 0:25:42.880 --> 0:25:45.159 the tackle immediately they killed kick a field goal. That 0:25:45.280 --> 0:25:47.520 no momentum. Really, it was kind of and you tweeted 0:25:47.520 --> 0:25:49.200 that day it was a win. That does a win 0:25:49.240 --> 0:25:51.119 when you give up a fumble and they kick a 0:25:51.119 --> 0:25:53.520 field goal and it's only three nothing and they answered 0:25:53.520 --> 0:25:55.440 it just like that. So but I thought that was 0:25:55.480 --> 0:25:57.200 one of the key plays. I mean, he was, he 0:25:57.280 --> 0:26:00.440 really was. It was probably his best game. Yeah, and 0:26:01.000 --> 0:26:04.320 real quick, don't forget eighty six yards. Oh yeah, he 0:26:04.359 --> 0:26:06.080 didn't make it to the end zone. You know, he's 0:26:06.080 --> 0:26:08.280 a cornerback that at the end of the drive. That 0:26:08.359 --> 0:26:10.840 was a drive you know, the Redskins had and they're 0:26:10.880 --> 0:26:13.240 moving the ball and he's chasing receivers and then to 0:26:13.280 --> 0:26:15.080 go in the run eighty six yards like that, I 0:26:15.080 --> 0:26:18.320 mean that, Yeah, he probably would like to have scored, 0:26:18.359 --> 0:26:22.320 but oh he oh he wanted. That's so bad. Like 0:26:22.400 --> 0:26:25.960 that's literally like the thing that has the reason Orlando 0:26:26.000 --> 0:26:28.120 Scandrick is not like a two or three time pro 0:26:28.160 --> 0:26:30.800 bowler is because he doesn't have those types of plays 0:26:30.800 --> 0:26:33.359 on his resume where he gets to the end zone 0:26:33.480 --> 0:26:35.560 or has the long return and that time, I mean, 0:26:36.040 --> 0:26:38.080 you know, I think the one that the one that 0:26:38.119 --> 0:26:40.679 really stands out as he picked off Jay Cutler to 0:26:40.720 --> 0:26:43.600 seal the Bears game in twenty fourteen, I think, and 0:26:43.800 --> 0:26:45.680 the Bears were coming back and he caught he got 0:26:45.720 --> 0:26:47.600 him in the end zone. But like other than that, 0:26:48.040 --> 0:26:49.920 it's just not a thing that happens for him very often. 0:26:50.000 --> 0:26:52.240 So like I know, he wanted to score right there 0:26:52.280 --> 0:26:54.920 so bad, but still, I mean, like I said earlier, 0:26:55.440 --> 0:27:00.359 Dak Prescott is not one for sweeping grand stage mints 0:27:00.359 --> 0:27:02.480 and juicy quotes, and he was like, yeah, that was 0:27:02.520 --> 0:27:04.440 the biggest player in the whole game and the turning point, 0:27:04.480 --> 0:27:06.119 like they did it all for us. They put us 0:27:06.200 --> 0:27:09.040 right there inside the ten yard line, swung the momentum 0:27:09.119 --> 0:27:11.879 ten points swing. I mean, it's absolutely huge. You know, 0:27:11.880 --> 0:27:14.800 if you go back and watch the block, there's two 0:27:14.840 --> 0:27:17.120 hands right there. For the first one, of course, it's 0:27:17.160 --> 0:27:19.800 Crawford and you know he's right in line and the 0:27:19.840 --> 0:27:21.520 ball is going to probably go through the upright, so 0:27:21.640 --> 0:27:25.560 he blocks it. But Irving's hand is right behind it, 0:27:25.600 --> 0:27:28.240 and if you watch it, it goes kind of through 0:27:28.280 --> 0:27:32.440 Crawford into Irving like his pinky but once it hits 0:27:32.480 --> 0:27:35.800 Irving's hand, it goes sideways. Now I'm not saying the 0:27:35.800 --> 0:27:37.440 ball would have gone in. I don't know how much 0:27:37.800 --> 0:27:40.399 you know, momentum it was gonna have to carry. But 0:27:40.440 --> 0:27:43.520 I think both of them affected the play. And you know, 0:27:43.760 --> 0:27:46.520 Irving's like, I got a little little piece of that too, 0:27:46.560 --> 0:27:50.240 and they Crawford they're gonna get. You don't get half 0:27:50.240 --> 0:27:52.240 a block. You know, Crawford got the block, but I 0:27:52.240 --> 0:27:55.760 thought Irving also had you know, Cowboys pr is trying 0:27:55.760 --> 0:27:57.040 to give it to both of them. I don't know 0:27:57.119 --> 0:27:58.840 if that's going to hold up with the league, but 0:27:59.240 --> 0:28:02.720 don't be like when when the teams stats come out 0:28:02.760 --> 0:28:04.879 this week, don't be surprised if they both get credit 0:28:04.880 --> 0:28:06.320 for it. The one thing I will say, Nick, is 0:28:06.359 --> 0:28:08.360 if you said that, if you said that, it kind 0:28:08.359 --> 0:28:11.400 of did change the trajectory once Irving hit it and Dave, 0:28:11.440 --> 0:28:13.320 you're saying that the biggest part of that play was 0:28:13.359 --> 0:28:16.239 the return. Maybe you don't get the return, but for 0:28:16.280 --> 0:28:18.720 Irving's yeah, hit on it as well, So then it 0:28:18.800 --> 0:28:23.480 makes that that block way more important than just Crawford's block. 0:28:23.520 --> 0:28:24.879 Maybe you don't get the field goal, but in this 0:28:24.920 --> 0:28:27.080 sense is maybe you don't get to return without irving right. 0:28:27.160 --> 0:28:31.280 And you know how we just talked about Scandrick being 0:28:31.480 --> 0:28:33.360 at the end of the drive and that's probably why 0:28:33.400 --> 0:28:36.520 I didn't score, because he was tired. That also affected 0:28:36.600 --> 0:28:38.440 where he was lined up because a lot of times 0:28:38.440 --> 0:28:41.520 he will come off the edge and dive and miss it. 0:28:41.800 --> 0:28:43.960 If he doesn't if he's not a dog tired there, 0:28:44.000 --> 0:28:46.400 he's not standing back there to pick up the ball. 0:28:46.680 --> 0:28:49.400 But we had a good view of it and I thought, 0:28:49.440 --> 0:28:51.640 you know, just keep going to the right, you're gonna 0:28:51.680 --> 0:28:55.000 get twenty five yards. But when he cut left, you 0:28:55.040 --> 0:28:57.600 can kind of see that wall and you're like, oh, yeah, 0:28:57.680 --> 0:28:59.880 I'm glad you mentioned that too, by the way, because 0:29:00.040 --> 0:29:02.280 I mean, he didn't block it. But you gotta give 0:29:02.320 --> 0:29:04.880 Scandrick some credit for that mixed missed extra point that 0:29:04.920 --> 0:29:07.480 the Redskins had as well. He can't. I mean, just 0:29:07.520 --> 0:29:09.080 like he always says, he came off the side. I 0:29:09.120 --> 0:29:15.200 think Orlando gave himself credit for it if nobody else did, so, uh, 0:29:15.400 --> 0:29:17.280 you know they what I think he hooked it left 0:29:17.520 --> 0:29:20.160 or he hooked it. He hooked it. I mean he 0:29:20.160 --> 0:29:22.680 missed the next point and Scandrick was coming free on 0:29:22.720 --> 0:29:25.200 it so affected the kicker there on a play that 0:29:25.320 --> 0:29:28.239 obviously Byron Jones got that pick six, But I mean 0:29:28.280 --> 0:29:31.200 the difference between defending a full seven point lead verse 0:29:31.200 --> 0:29:34.080 six is huge. I mean, it was a fun plane 0:29:34.160 --> 0:29:36.520 ride for them on the way back, and Scandrick was 0:29:36.600 --> 0:29:38.760 up and down the aisle and talking to us, and 0:29:38.920 --> 0:29:41.680 you know, like a lot of players were and um, 0:29:42.240 --> 0:29:44.959 you know some of them weren't sitting down at the end. 0:29:45.840 --> 0:29:48.840 They're gonna get in trouble buzz they were. You know 0:29:48.880 --> 0:29:50.920 when when that flight attend that got on and said 0:29:51.120 --> 0:29:54.640 you'll sit down, Like I was great. You know do 0:29:54.640 --> 0:29:56.880 you know like I think we're grown. I think you 0:29:56.920 --> 0:29:59.200 know who was the one person that was standing up? 0:29:59.720 --> 0:30:07.520 I mean Jason, No, it can't never mind Taco. Yeah, 0:30:07.960 --> 0:30:13.120 Brandon Carr and people play born Orlando Scandrey take your pick, right. 0:30:13.240 --> 0:30:16.680 We need to get some updated you get guys that 0:30:16.680 --> 0:30:19.600 that are here. Uh no, this is classic, Garrett, That's 0:30:19.600 --> 0:30:22.440 why we have it. There there's Taco just standing up. 0:30:22.480 --> 0:30:27.280 I'm like, really, like, sit down, been here long enough 0:30:27.280 --> 0:30:29.760 to be like, okay, don't worry about it. But no, 0:30:29.920 --> 0:30:32.320 I mean maybe he's a stand up defensive end now 0:30:32.360 --> 0:30:36.360 because he was diving back there, you know, playing linebacker. 0:30:36.520 --> 0:30:38.760 That would have What would that have done? We argued 0:30:38.800 --> 0:30:40.920 that the other day about you know, if he just 0:30:41.000 --> 0:30:43.400 makes one play, we still if e one makes a 0:30:43.440 --> 0:30:47.000 diving interception like that, honestly, no, I mean I would 0:30:47.040 --> 0:30:48.760 have been pumped in. It would have been a great play. 0:30:48.880 --> 0:30:52.280 But no, it's not like fans suddenly think he's awesome 0:30:52.320 --> 0:30:55.560 because he gets like a fluke interception dropping. They would 0:30:55.560 --> 0:30:57.200 have they would have been like, he's still haven't gotten sack? 0:30:57.480 --> 0:30:59.760 Like do what do what we've drafted you to do? Yeah, 0:30:59.800 --> 0:31:02.120 but you know, be an athlete and make a play, 0:31:02.280 --> 0:31:05.320 and that would would have helped. It definitely would have helped. 0:31:05.360 --> 0:31:07.600 Don't all right, let's let's do talk a little bit 0:31:07.600 --> 0:31:10.280 though about special teams. I thought special teams yesterday was 0:31:10.600 --> 0:31:12.840 again difference makers. We talked we kind of lumped it 0:31:12.880 --> 0:31:15.000 into defense, but really it's the special teams that made 0:31:15.000 --> 0:31:17.840 the block that got the return, and quite frankly, Mike 0:31:17.920 --> 0:31:20.480 Nugent played I thought as well as good of a 0:31:20.560 --> 0:31:23.040 game as you can expect from a guy who's coming 0:31:23.040 --> 0:31:25.040 in who was on the street. I think I heard 0:31:25.080 --> 0:31:27.040 I think Taylor was telling me last week he was 0:31:27.120 --> 0:31:29.640 on last Sunday, he was with his daughter at the zoo, 0:31:30.000 --> 0:31:32.600 And this week he's at an NFL game and torrential 0:31:32.600 --> 0:31:36.320 downpours and he's being expected to kick forty nine yard 0:31:36.360 --> 0:31:39.400 field goals. Only that last team that worked him out 0:31:39.400 --> 0:31:41.800 before the Cowboys with the Redskins. Yeah, it's awesome. I 0:31:41.880 --> 0:31:43.560 love the way that type of stuff works out. And 0:31:43.560 --> 0:31:47.960 the I mean, yeah, you know, obviously, like you signed 0:31:47.960 --> 0:31:49.719 this guy on Tuesday. Of course he's going to come 0:31:49.720 --> 0:31:51.560 in and have to kick five field goals in the 0:31:51.600 --> 0:31:54.560 trenial downpour. Of course, of course the Cowboys aren't gonna 0:31:54.560 --> 0:31:57.840 win twenty eight to you know, seventeen and all he 0:31:57.840 --> 0:31:59.600 has to worry about his extra points. Like that's just 0:31:59.600 --> 0:32:01.280 not the way, although that might have been a little 0:32:01.280 --> 0:32:03.480 tougher for him, knowing how last year win. Maybe hey 0:32:03.520 --> 0:32:05.800 he was three for three. He was three for three year, right, 0:32:05.880 --> 0:32:08.320 But it's just like I swear, that's just the way 0:32:08.360 --> 0:32:11.040 the NFL works. Is like when you get signed on Tuesday, 0:32:11.160 --> 0:32:13.480 you have to you know, the ball finds you. I 0:32:13.520 --> 0:32:15.720 guess I don't know, but I thought he was awesome, 0:32:15.800 --> 0:32:18.280 especially since his first his first kick was a miss 0:32:18.480 --> 0:32:21.320 from from was a forty nine from a forgivable distance 0:32:21.360 --> 0:32:24.080 for sure, but you're still like, oh, okay, Dan, where 0:32:24.120 --> 0:32:26.680 are you okay? So in the press box, I looked 0:32:26.680 --> 0:32:29.080 over him like Robin Dave. I was like, you think 0:32:29.080 --> 0:32:33.200 he makes this? And both of them no, no, And 0:32:33.400 --> 0:32:35.320 I don't know. I don't know if you wait in 0:32:35.520 --> 0:32:37.720 but I know. I said he's gonna hook it to 0:32:37.760 --> 0:32:40.160 the left, and Mickey was like, he's gonna hook it 0:32:40.200 --> 0:32:43.640 to the left. So nobody there there was no like 0:32:43.920 --> 0:32:46.360 confidence there that he was gonna make that in which 0:32:46.360 --> 0:32:48.520 he actually he was good in pregame. He hit like 0:32:49.320 --> 0:32:52.600 he hit seven of eight going out and they said 0:32:52.600 --> 0:32:55.880 he hit a fifty three yarder. He hit fifty eight yarder. 0:32:56.360 --> 0:32:59.560 He hit through thirty one, thirty four, thirty seven, forty 0:32:59.600 --> 0:33:02.520 one four, He missed from forty eight, re kicked it 0:33:02.560 --> 0:33:05.200 and made it hit a fifty three. I think he 0:33:05.280 --> 0:33:07.360 missed a couple from fifty eight. Oh yeah, yeah he did. 0:33:07.480 --> 0:33:09.640 He didn't miss that thing. He was good in pregame, 0:33:09.680 --> 0:33:11.760 but I just thinking he had the leg part. But 0:33:12.080 --> 0:33:14.320 what Mickey was saying was that he tends to to 0:33:14.440 --> 0:33:17.360 hook left, and so whenever he's on the left, hash 0:33:17.440 --> 0:33:19.240 that tends to be a problem for him because he 0:33:19.280 --> 0:33:22.800 already hooks left. So that's what Mickey said. Did Mickey 0:33:22.920 --> 0:33:25.480 go watch like cut ups and tell you that's what 0:33:25.800 --> 0:33:29.800 That's what Mickey was saying there. He's either making that 0:33:29.920 --> 0:33:32.959 up or somebody maybe maybe somebody told him that, But 0:33:33.000 --> 0:33:36.880 like if he went home, I hope that rich Bisaccia 0:33:36.960 --> 0:33:39.120 told him that, because if he went home on like Friday, 0:33:39.120 --> 0:33:41.200 I was just watching cut ups off Mike Nugent went 0:33:41.240 --> 0:33:43.400 the Bengals Like that's too much. You don't need to 0:33:43.440 --> 0:33:46.160 do that, man, Hey, he's doing his job. That's you know, 0:33:46.440 --> 0:33:48.800 there's doing your job, and then there's having Like I'm 0:33:48.840 --> 0:33:51.600 sure there's been some moments where you knew something, something 0:33:51.680 --> 0:33:53.040 kind of was in the back of your brain about 0:33:53.080 --> 0:33:54.640 a particular player and you're like, I'm gonna do the 0:33:54.640 --> 0:33:56.800 research to figure this out. Yeah, and so you spent 0:33:57.000 --> 0:33:59.840 countless number of hours doing that just to figure it out. Yeah. 0:34:00.200 --> 0:34:05.440 Usually it's for like Dak or somebody quarterback, not the 0:34:05.520 --> 0:34:07.719 kicker who's gonna be here for three weeks. Yeah, but 0:34:07.760 --> 0:34:10.600 he also scored twelve points or no more than that. 0:34:10.640 --> 0:34:15.200 He had with fourteen points. Um, you know, last two weeks, 0:34:15.320 --> 0:34:18.560 you've talked about three. You said three turnovers but from 0:34:18.600 --> 0:34:21.640 the defense, but really it's been two from the defense 0:34:21.680 --> 0:34:24.200 and one from special teams in each of the last two. 0:34:24.239 --> 0:34:26.480 I mean, Keith Smith goes down on the kickoff and 0:34:26.600 --> 0:34:28.400 forces a fumble, it leads to a field goal of 0:34:28.440 --> 0:34:31.720 the week before the game just you know changed early 0:34:31.800 --> 0:34:35.279 when Cavan Frasier knocked the ball out and no yes 0:34:35.360 --> 0:34:38.239 and Xavier Woods picked it up. So special teams has 0:34:38.360 --> 0:34:41.120 has played a big part there. I was, I was wondering, 0:34:41.160 --> 0:34:42.680 I know, he missed the field goal and on a 0:34:42.800 --> 0:34:46.759 Dave you do the grades for our flashback, and I 0:34:46.880 --> 0:34:49.680 was like, man, I really hope that that's an a 0:34:50.200 --> 0:34:52.960 for a special team. Yeah no, I'm well, and you know, 0:34:53.239 --> 0:34:56.960 to be perfectly fair, I mean, I don't, I don't know. 0:34:57.200 --> 0:34:58.960 I guess I'm I'm gonna chalk it up to the 0:34:59.000 --> 0:35:02.319 rain for Ryan Swa because he that was a weird 0:35:02.400 --> 0:35:03.680 day for him. I don't know if I call it, 0:35:03.880 --> 0:35:05.640 you know, and I know what you I assume what 0:35:05.680 --> 0:35:09.640 you're talking about is when he need he knelt yet 0:35:09.840 --> 0:35:12.200 he let one bounce from the thirty to the ten. 0:35:12.440 --> 0:35:15.520 He like, just in general, it was not I thought 0:35:15.520 --> 0:35:17.960 a very good night for him. I honestly think that 0:35:18.000 --> 0:35:20.439 in that situation, I wasn't able to see the play 0:35:20.480 --> 0:35:23.520 fully because we were on our way down to the field. Um, 0:35:23.600 --> 0:35:25.839 but I didn't even see the neil. I just yeah, 0:35:26.120 --> 0:35:28.000 it was it was like the third or fourth quarter. 0:35:28.640 --> 0:35:31.080 They're about to get the ball on like the thirty three, 0:35:31.120 --> 0:35:32.799 and he let it bounce and it went down to 0:35:32.840 --> 0:35:35.919 the nine and completely maybe it was right before the half. 0:35:35.960 --> 0:35:37.759 I don't know. My thought was, I didn't know, like 0:35:37.800 --> 0:35:40.320 I didn't know what return unit was on the field. 0:35:40.360 --> 0:35:43.839 Was it Were they expecting an onside kick? And if 0:35:43.840 --> 0:35:45.799 they if they were expecting an onside kick, that means 0:35:45.800 --> 0:35:48.280 he had no blockers. And in that kind of weather, 0:35:48.440 --> 0:35:50.960 my thought is, yes, feel the ball so it doesn't 0:35:50.960 --> 0:35:53.880 go any farther and just go down, just take a knee. 0:35:54.040 --> 0:35:56.120 That's fine, We'll take the ball at that point. To me, 0:35:56.239 --> 0:35:58.320 that's the right decision, right. Did you see that? Though? 0:35:58.760 --> 0:36:02.840 The reaction of his teammates and the coaches, I mean nope, 0:36:03.560 --> 0:36:06.399 nobody understood what that was about. And then go back 0:36:06.400 --> 0:36:08.400 and listen to it. Troy Aikman was like, what is 0:36:08.440 --> 0:36:11.400 going on there? I mean like, and I was watching 0:36:11.440 --> 0:36:13.480 it and I was just like, what are you doing? Like, 0:36:13.760 --> 0:36:15.920 I get it. You know, you don't think that Whitton 0:36:15.960 --> 0:36:18.359 and Hannah are gonna be, you know, blocking for you. 0:36:18.400 --> 0:36:21.440 But I mean I think you're down. I mean you're 0:36:21.480 --> 0:36:24.359 up six, You're you're gonna be starting at your own, 0:36:24.400 --> 0:36:27.920 what fifteen yard line? But with no blocker? Do you 0:36:27.960 --> 0:36:30.160 want him really running and risking the chance that two 0:36:30.160 --> 0:36:32.799 guys hit him, ball comes loose. You're only only up 0:36:32.840 --> 0:36:35.760 by six, Yeah, that could be a game changing type scenario. 0:36:36.200 --> 0:36:37.920 I'd much rather just say, take the ball when you 0:36:37.960 --> 0:36:40.480 get it, and let's see if nothing else, take some 0:36:40.560 --> 0:36:42.879 time off the clock. Right Rears the guy that has 0:36:43.000 --> 0:36:48.440 me pretty upset right now, very upset. Oh yeah you 0:36:48.480 --> 0:36:52.000 know that one, right, Yeah, I get it. Okay, yes, 0:36:52.120 --> 0:36:56.200 all right, But the point is he, honestly, for a 0:36:56.280 --> 0:36:59.799 guy that's as cocky as he is, he is pretty cocky. 0:37:00.160 --> 0:37:02.359 And when you see when you're like that, you better 0:37:02.440 --> 0:37:04.239 live up to it and have a reason to back 0:37:04.320 --> 0:37:07.680 up your cockiness. Right. Well, with that being said, the 0:37:07.719 --> 0:37:11.880 fact that how he played special teams, it upsets me 0:37:12.000 --> 0:37:15.200 when he's playing offense and you see him in motion 0:37:15.520 --> 0:37:18.120 and you see him so active and running around the field, 0:37:18.120 --> 0:37:21.040 blah blah blah. And then when he got when he 0:37:21.120 --> 0:37:23.959 has the chance to have the ball in his hand, 0:37:24.520 --> 0:37:28.560 he doesn't do anything. He doesn't apply that same kind 0:37:28.600 --> 0:37:31.080 of effort as to when he doesn't even have the 0:37:31.120 --> 0:37:34.240 ball in his hands. But are we confusing effort with results? 0:37:34.320 --> 0:37:36.440 Like it's one thing to say when he gets the 0:37:36.480 --> 0:37:38.920 ball in his hands, he doesn't end up making any plays. 0:37:39.320 --> 0:37:41.200 I don't know if i'd call it effort though, right 0:37:41.640 --> 0:37:46.560 I would. Well, I don't like to question guys effort levels. 0:37:46.600 --> 0:37:48.719 I mean, this is the NFL. If you don't, if 0:37:48.760 --> 0:37:51.480 you're not. I just feel like he loses his confidence 0:37:51.520 --> 0:37:53.360 when he has the ball in his hands. He doesn't 0:37:53.360 --> 0:37:56.080 react the same way. Obviously, and again that's not me 0:37:56.239 --> 0:37:58.920 playing in there. I'm sure it's a whole different feel 0:37:59.000 --> 0:38:03.839 and obviously no idea what it's like. But from what 0:38:03.880 --> 0:38:06.880 I've seen so far is it just seems like, okay, 0:38:06.920 --> 0:38:09.719 when he gets the opportunity to have the ball in 0:38:09.800 --> 0:38:12.960 his hands, he doesn't actually do anything. When when he 0:38:13.120 --> 0:38:16.480 was when he fumbled against the Rams a few weeks ago, 0:38:16.640 --> 0:38:18.799 changed that whole game. He comes back and says, you 0:38:18.800 --> 0:38:20.720 know that's not going to change me I'm still gonna 0:38:20.760 --> 0:38:22.600 do what I do and all that. But he did. 0:38:22.760 --> 0:38:25.520 But I think to your point, he didn't really play 0:38:25.600 --> 0:38:28.080 like that yesterday. Now was if the rain was a factor, 0:38:28.080 --> 0:38:30.200 maybe so, But there was times when it's like, you know, 0:38:30.280 --> 0:38:33.600 catch the ball, and he didn't because he'd rather he 0:38:33.680 --> 0:38:36.840 wasn't confident that he could catch it. And you know, 0:38:37.000 --> 0:38:39.359 we'll see if that happens again. If it happens when 0:38:39.360 --> 0:38:41.480 it's a bright sunny day in San Francisco, then we 0:38:41.480 --> 0:38:44.480 have an issue problem. Yeah, but he's probably getting yelled 0:38:44.480 --> 0:38:48.040 out in his head about don't don't make a mistake here, 0:38:48.120 --> 0:38:50.799 and he's playing like that. But you know, I think, 0:38:50.800 --> 0:38:53.359 and I think this is part of the issue. When 0:38:53.360 --> 0:38:56.799 you get somebody that everybody's talking about on draft day, um, 0:38:56.960 --> 0:38:59.600 then people create these expectations in their minds of what 0:38:59.600 --> 0:39:03.160 he's going to be immediately, and looking at the way 0:39:03.200 --> 0:39:05.400 the rookies played last year, you think, oh, well, this 0:39:05.440 --> 0:39:08.200 guy's going to contribute immediately. That doesn't mean he's a 0:39:08.239 --> 0:39:10.960 bad player, because he's right now not making plays and 0:39:11.000 --> 0:39:13.120 I wouldn't question his effort. I just think right now, 0:39:13.280 --> 0:39:15.680 for whatever reason, in return game, he hasn't been able 0:39:15.719 --> 0:39:18.320 to really show you much as far as his abilities 0:39:18.360 --> 0:39:20.440 to make plays, Now, maybe that means he can't do it. 0:39:20.600 --> 0:39:22.120 Maybe it means he's just gonna take a little while 0:39:22.120 --> 0:39:24.000 for him to develop into playing in the NFL and 0:39:24.080 --> 0:39:26.000 being able to really make those yea. And I think 0:39:26.000 --> 0:39:28.480 the cockiness has a factor in it, at least for me. 0:39:28.640 --> 0:39:31.080 I'm just like, Okay, if you're playing like this, quit 0:39:31.160 --> 0:39:34.279 being cocky. Come on, learn from Zeke a little bit. 0:39:34.480 --> 0:39:39.480 Zeke has, you know, calm down a little. I'm saying down, 0:39:39.560 --> 0:39:43.759 and here's here's the thing. And I think I think 0:39:43.760 --> 0:39:46.000 you're right. You know, you draft a guy in the 0:39:46.000 --> 0:39:48.200 first four rounds to be you know, you talk about 0:39:48.280 --> 0:39:50.560 him like replacing Dunbar and all this stuff, and the 0:39:50.600 --> 0:39:54.120 expectations get pushed up. I'm not asking you to make plays. 0:39:54.280 --> 0:39:57.440 I don't judge him that way. I really don't. I don't. 0:39:57.800 --> 0:40:00.120 I'm not worried by you know, I don't think he's 0:40:00.120 --> 0:40:01.920 a bust. I'm not worried by the type of impact 0:40:01.920 --> 0:40:05.840 he's making. I do expect you to catch the punt 0:40:05.920 --> 0:40:09.120 and save the offense twenty five yards of fuel position 0:40:09.640 --> 0:40:11.480 on a rainy day when you know it's hard to 0:40:11.480 --> 0:40:13.279 move the ball. I'm not asking you to break it 0:40:13.320 --> 0:40:14.920 for a touchdown. I'm just asking you to catch it. 0:40:15.239 --> 0:40:19.239 That's really all I want. And it wasn't happening for him. Yes, 0:40:19.360 --> 0:40:22.320 it was just like I said, I've never done that before. 0:40:22.400 --> 0:40:24.640 I'm sure the rain plays a factor. I get all that, 0:40:24.719 --> 0:40:27.120 but just there he had two or three decisions where 0:40:27.160 --> 0:40:29.719 I was just like, I've never seen somebody do that. 0:40:29.800 --> 0:40:33.319 What's going on? At about four in the morning, I'm 0:40:33.360 --> 0:40:36.040 still trying to think about going to sleep, and I 0:40:36.120 --> 0:40:39.719 thought about that play and I thought I should get up, 0:40:40.120 --> 0:40:43.040 go back to my computer, change my five point five 0:40:43.120 --> 0:40:46.560 plays story because I left one out and I felt 0:40:46.600 --> 0:40:49.520 really bad for it. But the play where the penalty 0:40:49.800 --> 0:40:52.320 that changed that. When the ball was rolled out he 0:40:52.320 --> 0:40:55.000 didn't catch it. It rolls down to like the thirteen 0:40:55.080 --> 0:40:57.759 yard line, and then there's a penalty. They make him 0:40:57.760 --> 0:41:00.800 rekick and they get the ball. It's thirty yards a 0:41:00.880 --> 0:41:03.319 field position. They go down and get a field goal. 0:41:03.520 --> 0:41:05.200 It was really upset that I didn't put that in 0:41:05.239 --> 0:41:08.280 the five place. You and Nicky both just need to 0:41:08.320 --> 0:41:10.200 go to bed. I feel like like I went I 0:41:10.239 --> 0:41:12.440 got home and went straight to bed, and your bed 0:41:12.480 --> 0:41:16.319 about two I watched the whole game again. No, oh, 0:41:16.400 --> 0:41:19.680 come on, no, come in and do that on Monday 0:41:19.719 --> 0:41:21.719 with broad est, Like that's what I do. That's the 0:41:21.760 --> 0:41:25.160 difference though, I mean, that's just I don't come in earlier. 0:41:25.160 --> 0:41:26.400 I get to do it at night, or I got 0:41:26.440 --> 0:41:29.160 here at nine twenty six. I mean it's all the same. Yeah, 0:41:29.160 --> 0:41:30.799 and you have stats and I don't. But I watched 0:41:30.880 --> 0:41:34.239 the game the last thing, I mean, the last thing 0:41:34.280 --> 0:41:35.840 I want to do. Yeah, I got in bed at 0:41:35.880 --> 0:41:37.800 about two and I didn't want to think about football 0:41:37.840 --> 0:41:39.680 for like at least a few hours.

Back to the break 0:43:52.280 --> 0:43:54.800 final segment of the great we're talking about the Cowboys 0:43:54.800 --> 0:43:58.080 big win versus the Washington Redskins. They moved four and 0:43:58.160 --> 0:44:01.360 three on the season. Right now, The interesting part is, 0:44:01.400 --> 0:44:04.839 although they've played well these last two weeks, Cowboys still 0:44:04.880 --> 0:44:07.359 are not as of this week, still are not in 0:44:07.600 --> 0:44:10.239 the top six teams in the NFC. They still got 0:44:10.239 --> 0:44:12.520 a little ways to go, just one game out from 0:44:12.719 --> 0:44:16.120 from those wildcard spots. Two wildcard teams with better records 0:44:16.200 --> 0:44:18.880 right now, wild cards right now, or whoever's in the 0:44:18.920 --> 0:44:22.440 second in the West, And yes, I looked it up. 0:44:22.520 --> 0:44:25.560 Last night's probably the Panther was the South. Yeah, I 0:44:25.600 --> 0:44:30.320 think it was Panthers the North. No, Green Bay second 0:44:30.320 --> 0:44:31.680 in North, they're four and three, same as the cow 0:44:31.840 --> 0:44:33.960 would be the Panthers. And whoever's second in the West 0:44:34.000 --> 0:44:36.520 train right, And so the Cowboys one game out of 0:44:36.520 --> 0:44:38.840 the out of that part of out of the wildcart 0:44:39.160 --> 0:44:42.920 wildcard teams at this point. But the good part is 0:44:42.960 --> 0:44:45.319 that the season so much in front of them. All 0:44:45.360 --> 0:44:47.560 these teams that are right there in that mixture are 0:44:47.640 --> 0:44:50.319 all kind of on the Cowboys schedule going down straight. 0:44:50.320 --> 0:44:54.360 You got Atlanta, You've got Seattle, UM, They've got obviously 0:44:54.400 --> 0:44:56.960 the division games left, you got two games against Philly. 0:44:57.200 --> 0:44:59.719 They got enough games that they can that they can 0:44:59.800 --> 0:45:03.160 ser certainly put themselves right in position to maybe even 0:45:03.200 --> 0:45:05.400 win the division. They're not out of this thing yet 0:45:05.520 --> 0:45:07.520 with almost half of the season, don't well, I mean, 0:45:07.719 --> 0:45:10.960 you know this isn't college football where you need style points. 0:45:11.000 --> 0:45:12.960 I mean, they've won four games. I don't believe any 0:45:13.000 --> 0:45:15.400 of the four or against the team with a winning record, 0:45:15.760 --> 0:45:19.040 but you know, nope, Wow, But you have a chance 0:45:19.120 --> 0:45:20.880 to change that because I have a good film. The 0:45:20.960 --> 0:45:22.920 Chiefs will have a winning record when they come to town, 0:45:23.480 --> 0:45:27.840 uh this week. So you know, Denver tonight, right, And 0:45:28.480 --> 0:45:31.160 you know, it doesn't matter you play who you play. 0:45:31.200 --> 0:45:34.080 And sometimes I've always thought that that's kind of a 0:45:34.120 --> 0:45:37.000 stupid stat especially early on, because you know, if it 0:45:37.080 --> 0:45:39.240 wasn't for you beating them, they might have a winning record. 0:45:39.239 --> 0:45:42.120 I mean, you're contributing to that. So um. But I 0:45:42.440 --> 0:45:45.239 what my point to that is is that do we 0:45:45.280 --> 0:45:47.200 think this team is really good? Well we'll see. I 0:45:47.200 --> 0:45:50.240 mean they've lost to your team, the Rams, who Rams 0:45:50.320 --> 0:45:52.560 now are looking pretty good. They're like you said, they 0:45:52.600 --> 0:45:54.960 get Philly twice these next three games. I mean, this 0:45:55.360 --> 0:45:58.719 probably the toughest stretch that anybody has. Chiefs at home 0:45:58.840 --> 0:46:03.279 at Atlanta, Eagle at home. I mean, it's good luck, quick, 0:46:03.560 --> 0:46:05.680 good teams. Quick note for all the woe is Me 0:46:06.120 --> 0:46:08.399 type of Cowboy fans. This will be the second week 0:46:08.440 --> 0:46:11.040 in a row that Dallas gets an opponent on short rest. 0:46:11.400 --> 0:46:14.040 Redskins and Chiefs both played Monday night the week before 0:46:14.040 --> 0:46:16.759 they played the Cowboys. So you know, I don't think 0:46:16.760 --> 0:46:19.120 the league's out to screw you. I said that Robs 0:46:19.120 --> 0:46:20.960 happened last night. Rob said, do you think the whole 0:46:21.000 --> 0:46:24.200 Chief's offensive lineing is gonna get hurt? Yeah? I doubt it. 0:46:24.200 --> 0:46:26.279 It ain't just about risk, it's about injuries. To me, 0:46:26.520 --> 0:46:28.479 that that, to me, was a story of that game 0:46:28.560 --> 0:46:30.960 that in the rain was that was the storyline. But 0:46:31.000 --> 0:46:35.040 they played a division team, you know, on the road, 0:46:35.280 --> 0:46:39.200 and the Eagles Redskins. I mean that's a rivalry as well. 0:46:39.400 --> 0:46:41.040 And you know what, the Chiefs are the same thing. 0:46:41.080 --> 0:46:43.640 They're gonna go up and there at home. But they 0:46:43.719 --> 0:46:46.960 faced Denver and you know, I'm sure that that's probably 0:46:47.280 --> 0:46:52.239 a real physical game as well. So is the Redskins 0:46:52.239 --> 0:46:54.920 went into the Eagles game with injuries on the offensive line. 0:46:55.120 --> 0:46:57.319 The guys that were playing went into the game hurt 0:46:57.600 --> 0:47:00.279 and then got hurt again. So it was like they 0:47:00.320 --> 0:47:02.080 just had everything just went wrong for them. And I 0:47:02.120 --> 0:47:03.480 don't know if you expect the same thing out of 0:47:03.560 --> 0:47:05.680 Kansas City, but it is one of those things where 0:47:05.680 --> 0:47:08.279 a short week, short week, to me, is way more 0:47:08.320 --> 0:47:11.960 about recuperation and injuries than it is about just being tired. 0:47:12.120 --> 0:47:14.359 Oh yes, I think it's it's it can you turn 0:47:14.440 --> 0:47:16.319 your body around when you got when you're nicked up 0:47:16.440 --> 0:47:18.160 and those kinds of things on the short I actually 0:47:18.160 --> 0:47:20.560 give the Redskins some credit for what they did. I mean, 0:47:20.560 --> 0:47:22.960 they were functional. I mean, they had the ball, they 0:47:23.000 --> 0:47:24.920 had a chance to go drive and win the game, 0:47:25.960 --> 0:47:28.520 and they you know, they had guys planned for them 0:47:28.560 --> 0:47:32.000 that were signed early or late in the week. I mean, 0:47:32.120 --> 0:47:35.000 so Bill Callahan who was here obviously with the Cowboys, 0:47:35.040 --> 0:47:36.600 and he did a really nice job with that old 0:47:36.600 --> 0:47:39.360 line and yeah to I mean to Derek's point. Before 0:47:40.120 --> 0:47:43.400 before the rain really started, it got sloppy. You know, 0:47:43.600 --> 0:47:46.720 people were blowing me up like we can't get pressure 0:47:46.719 --> 0:47:50.160 on these guys they signed three days ago, like DeMarcus 0:47:50.200 --> 0:47:53.680 Lawrence can't beat Morgan Moses with no ankles, blah blah 0:47:53.680 --> 0:47:56.560 blah blah. I mean yeah, so, I mean I don't 0:47:56.560 --> 0:47:58.319 know that the Cowboys would have lost that game, but 0:47:58.400 --> 0:48:00.440 I think it would have been much different king had 0:48:00.480 --> 0:48:03.600 it stayed dryer. This defensive front, as I think probably 0:48:03.760 --> 0:48:07.520 most defensive fronts in the league are, unless they're just exceptional, 0:48:08.400 --> 0:48:11.080 is they play really well and they can get those 0:48:11.160 --> 0:48:13.839 those big moments when they know what the other team 0:48:13.920 --> 0:48:15.840 is doing, When you force the other team into situations 0:48:15.840 --> 0:48:17.839 where they have to throw the ball, then you can 0:48:17.880 --> 0:48:20.000 just really go get the quarterback and you don't have 0:48:20.000 --> 0:48:22.600 to worry about pass run. There were some moments in 0:48:22.640 --> 0:48:25.080 that game last night, Like I said early in the game, 0:48:25.080 --> 0:48:26.719 there were some moments there where you were wondering how 0:48:26.719 --> 0:48:28.560 good this defense was gonna be able to be even 0:48:28.600 --> 0:48:31.360 against the banged up offensive line, really against a second 0:48:31.360 --> 0:48:35.160 team offensive line, because there were moments when Kirk Cousins 0:48:35.160 --> 0:48:37.399 had a lot of time. There were moments when Chris 0:48:38.080 --> 0:48:41.160 Chris Thompson had some nice runs like you know that 0:48:41.360 --> 0:48:43.840 Nick when when when Rob Kelly went out for a second, 0:48:43.840 --> 0:48:45.600 I was like, well that didn't really matter. I kind 0:48:45.600 --> 0:48:48.200 of won him back in because I think I want 0:48:48.239 --> 0:48:50.759 him running versus Chris Thompson. But Chris Thompson had some 0:48:50.840 --> 0:48:53.680 nice runs even against you know, running up the middle. 0:48:53.680 --> 0:48:57.560 So I just think the weather played a huge factor 0:48:57.600 --> 0:48:59.719 in that game. I don't know if we would have 0:48:59.719 --> 0:49:01.279 seen the same outcome if it wouldn't have been for 0:49:01.280 --> 0:49:03.880 the weather. I love the way that this game turned, 0:49:03.920 --> 0:49:06.080 like when the Cowboys really get control of a game, 0:49:06.120 --> 0:49:08.440 the way they want to double digit lead a lot 0:49:08.480 --> 0:49:11.839 of runs. It's funny the way it turns because I'm like, 0:49:11.840 --> 0:49:14.520 when you said Chris Thompson, I was like, oh, yeah, 0:49:14.560 --> 0:49:18.799 did he do anything? Eight catches, seventy six yards, twenty 0:49:18.920 --> 0:49:20.959 rushing yard, Like, yeah, it's a moment to one hundred 0:49:20.960 --> 0:49:23.880 all purpose yards of a long run of sixteen and 0:49:23.920 --> 0:49:25.960 a long catch of twenty six, Like, he definitely had 0:49:25.960 --> 0:49:30.040 some moments, but after about halftime, it just didn't seem 0:49:30.080 --> 0:49:32.200 like it mattered because their offense. I think because of 0:49:32.200 --> 0:49:34.680 the rain and the way their offense runs. When they 0:49:34.719 --> 0:49:37.520 when their passing game became when it became when the 0:49:37.520 --> 0:49:41.320 weather became something that made passing prohibitive, then it changed 0:49:41.360 --> 0:49:43.040 the whole complexion of the game for them. And I 0:49:43.400 --> 0:49:45.040 think you had it not happened like that, I'm not 0:49:45.040 --> 0:49:47.080 saying the Cowboys couldn't have won the game. I think 0:49:47.080 --> 0:49:49.279 it would have been a much different style of game, though, 0:49:49.320 --> 0:49:50.600 I think there would have been a ton of scoring 0:49:50.680 --> 0:49:52.480 both ways. It probably would have been a lot like 0:49:52.520 --> 0:49:55.240 that Sunday night football game last night between the Texans. 0:49:55.480 --> 0:49:57.759 That was the afternoon game between the Texans and the 0:49:58.600 --> 0:50:00.680 where you got it, going back and forth. Whoever has 0:50:00.680 --> 0:50:03.640 the ball last wins, right, you know, ironically, like several 0:50:03.680 --> 0:50:06.719 times throughout our game yesterday, I was like, man, I 0:50:07.000 --> 0:50:09.320 I was watching that. I know that game was crazy, 0:50:09.440 --> 0:50:11.040 and then you get the good baseball game last night. 0:50:11.200 --> 0:50:15.080 This is sports I'm projecting, like so stupidly far into 0:50:15.120 --> 0:50:18.719 the futures. I mean, Cowboys are not a lock to 0:50:18.760 --> 0:50:21.520 make the playoffs by any stretch of the imagination whatsoever. 0:50:21.600 --> 0:50:25.080 But if they do, I would guess it's as a 0:50:25.120 --> 0:50:29.920 wild card. And you know, that's really encouraging that you're 0:50:29.960 --> 0:50:32.320 built to play that type of football, like winning winning 0:50:32.320 --> 0:50:34.160 a game like this, I mean, if you've got to 0:50:34.200 --> 0:50:40.840 go to Seattle or somewhere cold or miserable in January. Although, 0:50:40.920 --> 0:50:42.200 like now, what I'm thinking about it, most of the 0:50:42.200 --> 0:50:46.240 teams in the playoff picture play indoors or in nicer climates, 0:50:46.239 --> 0:50:48.839 but still, I mean it's I mean, that's the type 0:50:48.840 --> 0:50:51.160 of football that travels, and that's nice to know if 0:50:51.160 --> 0:50:53.440 this is billy even like yeah, as a city that 0:50:53.480 --> 0:50:59.080 has inclement Billy Charlotte, Seattle, LA. Probably not so much. Whatever, 0:50:59.160 --> 0:51:01.480 but you can take that with you if you do 0:51:01.560 --> 0:51:03.759 have to play a road playoff game. Yep, let's get 0:51:03.760 --> 0:51:05.239 to some questions, you guys, give us a call two 0:51:05.239 --> 0:51:07.520 one four eight seven two twenty one h two or 0:51:07.560 --> 0:51:10.080 hit us on Twitter at Cowboys Break. Let's start first 0:51:10.120 --> 0:51:13.120 with a question from Twitter. Well, I think had the 0:51:13.200 --> 0:51:17.280 Cowboys lost this game, we would probably be talking about 0:51:17.320 --> 0:51:22.200 all the penalties they had. So what are y'all's concerned 0:51:22.239 --> 0:51:25.319 in regards to this, especially with the players such as 0:51:25.360 --> 0:51:29.080 Tyron Smith. Yeah, I mean Tyron Smith had three penalties, 0:51:29.120 --> 0:51:31.680 two holdings and in a false start and at least 0:51:31.719 --> 0:51:33.640 one of them I thought was bogus. But go ahead, 0:51:33.760 --> 0:51:36.560 Yeah I thought a touchdown, Yeah, yeah, yeah, I thought 0:51:36.560 --> 0:51:39.239 it was very kind of needed that touchdown to pancake ish, 0:51:39.360 --> 0:51:42.279 like I thought he was kind of smashing the guy. 0:51:42.360 --> 0:51:47.279 But anyways, it's uncharacteristic at a him, and you know 0:51:47.520 --> 0:51:50.319 that That's where I think maybe we need to just 0:51:50.560 --> 0:51:52.800 see if we chalk that up to the weather as well. 0:51:52.920 --> 0:51:56.160 You know, it's hard to get your you know, hands 0:51:56.200 --> 0:51:59.240 on guys that to block everybody's you know that Jersey's 0:51:59.239 --> 0:52:02.319 a wet hands wet you know, maybe it just leads 0:52:02.360 --> 0:52:05.080 to a little bit more of those holding penalties. So 0:52:05.920 --> 0:52:10.120 we'll see. Tyren Smith's resume speaks for itself. And so 0:52:10.239 --> 0:52:12.600 I don't know if I should we should sit here 0:52:12.600 --> 0:52:14.520 and say we should be concerned about it. Well, what 0:52:14.600 --> 0:52:17.640 about the other guys? Well, well this is the this 0:52:17.719 --> 0:52:19.319 is a conversation we have in the press box all 0:52:19.360 --> 0:52:22.799 the time. Jason Witten is good for a penalty of 0:52:22.840 --> 0:52:25.440 some sort just about every game. I mean, one way 0:52:25.520 --> 0:52:27.480 or that. He had a holding yesterday. Sometimes it's a 0:52:27.480 --> 0:52:31.360 false start, whatever, You let those things go because the 0:52:31.840 --> 0:52:36.440 resume far exceeds you know, the infraction, and that that 0:52:36.520 --> 0:52:38.839 goes for Tyrn Smith. I mean, that's that's the most 0:52:38.840 --> 0:52:41.040 Tyrannt Smith has been penalized in a game in the 0:52:41.160 --> 0:52:43.560 five years I've been covering this team. And it was 0:52:43.600 --> 0:52:47.040 in a monsoon against a team with good pass rushers 0:52:47.080 --> 0:52:50.359 Preston Smith and Ryan Kerrigan. So not a great day 0:52:50.360 --> 0:52:53.080 for him by any stretch. But I'm not worried about it. 0:52:53.200 --> 0:52:57.840 Lyle Collins probably a little more concerning, um, you know, 0:52:57.880 --> 0:53:00.120 I think I even said leading into that game, you know, 0:53:00.280 --> 0:53:02.880 if you can handle Von Miller and those type of 0:53:02.880 --> 0:53:05.600 guys as well as Lyle has, then you know, you'd 0:53:05.640 --> 0:53:08.680 think you can handle Ryan Kerrigan. Ryan Karragan whooped him 0:53:08.719 --> 0:53:10.759 up a little bit, especially in the early going when 0:53:10.800 --> 0:53:14.520 the game was closer. So you know, not not great, 0:53:14.800 --> 0:53:17.040 but you got out of it and you ran for 0:53:17.080 --> 0:53:19.520 one hundred and sixty nine yards. I mean, you know, 0:53:19.880 --> 0:53:22.160 if you watch the tape and try to improve, if 0:53:22.160 --> 0:53:24.560 you took the numbers off and then numbers and names 0:53:24.600 --> 0:53:27.239 off of the guys and just kind of evaluated this 0:53:27.239 --> 0:53:29.759 this offensive line for the last I don't know, three 0:53:29.840 --> 0:53:32.960 or four weeks since it's been, since it's been this lineup, 0:53:33.560 --> 0:53:37.560 I mean, I would think that Tyran still has probably 0:53:37.600 --> 0:53:41.120 been your best guy. I mean, he he locks it down. 0:53:41.120 --> 0:53:43.399 He didn't get beat much. And if it's not if 0:53:43.480 --> 0:53:47.880 not Zack Martin, but Cooper is up there. Especially yesterday, 0:53:48.200 --> 0:53:50.680 I thought Jonathan Cooper he had a holding too though, 0:53:50.840 --> 0:53:52.960 just yeah he did, he did, he had a holding. 0:53:53.120 --> 0:53:55.280 But I mean when you when you watch him play 0:53:55.560 --> 0:53:59.640 and watches that touchdown run, I mean he he is 0:53:59.680 --> 0:54:02.359 the best guy on the line on that touchdown run 0:54:02.440 --> 0:54:04.759 where it was just wide open. He just mauls his 0:54:04.840 --> 0:54:08.719 guy and he is playing like the like the first 0:54:08.800 --> 0:54:11.080 round pick. I mean, he's starting to do that. And 0:54:11.160 --> 0:54:13.080 I think it's kind of what we talked about before. 0:54:13.120 --> 0:54:16.239 I mean, I guess you get surrounded by greatness. You know. 0:54:16.400 --> 0:54:18.560 Eric's like a proud dad over here, like yeah, just 0:54:18.640 --> 0:54:20.759 like he is. No, no, no, Honestly, I think we 0:54:20.760 --> 0:54:22.360 were talking about it on the show, even back to 0:54:22.400 --> 0:54:24.839 training camp of man, what would it look like if 0:54:24.880 --> 0:54:26.239 you could get this guy to play up to the 0:54:26.239 --> 0:54:29.000 potential of where he was drafted and maybe getting him 0:54:29.040 --> 0:54:31.920 around other guys who would drafted in the similar timeframe 0:54:31.960 --> 0:54:35.200 and similar picks. Maybe that does it. Maybe that gets 0:54:35.239 --> 0:54:37.520 and then if you can get there, now you've really 0:54:37.600 --> 0:54:40.240 hit I mean you've hit on that on that position, 0:54:40.680 --> 0:54:42.439 and you've hit on a position and where you think 0:54:42.480 --> 0:54:44.680 you can kind of sustain it a little bit because hey, 0:54:44.719 --> 0:54:46.560 I mean it's not that expensive to have him here, 0:54:46.600 --> 0:54:50.080 you know, and give what we talked about free agency 0:54:50.120 --> 0:54:53.120 and how this you know, the actual you know, last 0:54:53.200 --> 0:54:57.440 two years that hasn't been good really and just veteran 0:54:57.480 --> 0:55:01.160 free agency, but the force site to say, you know 0:55:01.200 --> 0:55:03.920 what let's get Cooper here. Let's see if if maybe 0:55:04.000 --> 0:55:06.680 next year, because they did that last year, they kept him, 0:55:06.719 --> 0:55:08.719 they resigned him. They thought, well, let's give him a 0:55:08.800 --> 0:55:11.000 chance to let him be here all offseason. And it's 0:55:11.000 --> 0:55:14.080 paying off, just like what they did when they took 0:55:14.480 --> 0:55:17.480 a six seven defensive end off the Chiefs practice squad, 0:55:18.040 --> 0:55:22.879 you know. And and he's David Irvy so which, by 0:55:22.920 --> 0:55:24.799 the way, that just reminded me. It's this will be 0:55:24.800 --> 0:55:26.480 a really good week to have a feature on him 0:55:26.560 --> 0:55:30.200 if he's playing the Chiefs really yeah, good idea. His 0:55:30.360 --> 0:55:33.040 college team's playing pretty well too. I was staying, he said, 0:55:33.080 --> 0:55:38.400 he told me before he put on whatever he was wearing. 0:55:38.480 --> 0:55:42.120 What was that? That's Chester, Chester Chester, He's named it. 0:55:42.160 --> 0:55:44.640 What is it? The Fox? The Fox? Okay, I just 0:55:44.920 --> 0:55:47.319 he like I'm talking to him in the locker room, 0:55:47.360 --> 0:55:50.839 and had a lion on his back. Yeah, as as 0:55:50.880 --> 0:55:54.080 a lion backpack. David's got Chester the Fox. What is 0:55:54.120 --> 0:55:56.799 Dez wearing on his head on the Yeah, he's got 0:55:56.800 --> 0:56:01.520 the the George Costanza hat. Yeah, it's anyways, all kinds 0:56:01.520 --> 0:56:03.520 of animals, and we're talking about going to the zoo. 0:56:03.760 --> 0:56:07.320 Nugent probably thought he was back there seeing Irving, but 0:56:07.400 --> 0:56:10.360 Irving said it was biggle smile. He's like, this is 0:56:10.400 --> 0:56:13.319 a good weekend for me. He's like, my team beat 0:56:13.400 --> 0:56:17.400 TCU and we won the game, so this was a 0:56:17.400 --> 0:56:21.279 really big weekend. He's like, just he's the best life. 0:56:21.400 --> 0:56:26.080 Is such a friendly, just unassuming dude who has to 0:56:26.200 --> 0:56:29.840 be good at terrorizing quarterbacks and would never do that 0:56:29.880 --> 0:56:31.640 in his normal life. Like he doesn't seem like he 0:56:31.640 --> 0:56:34.560 has the personality to terrorize anybody at all. But yeah, 0:56:34.960 --> 0:56:39.480 well you might get to know Mass this week. Might 0:56:39.560 --> 0:56:41.520 got to know Mass about him. Hey, by the way, 0:56:41.560 --> 0:56:43.480 you know, just to mention, you mentioned that, But I 0:56:43.520 --> 0:56:44.960 don't know if how many people have saw that. Last 0:56:45.000 --> 0:56:46.640 week he put out a brand new show that a 0:56:46.760 --> 0:56:50.640 Ambers and Amber and Rob are hosting called No Mass, 0:56:51.160 --> 0:56:53.320 with the idea being that it's kind of an opportunity 0:56:53.360 --> 0:56:55.560 for you guys to get to know players a little closer. 0:56:55.880 --> 0:56:58.319 And uh, and I thought, it's a really good show. 0:56:58.320 --> 0:57:00.279 It's a fun show. Tell people what it's about, just 0:57:00.360 --> 0:57:01.799 so they have an idea and they can go check 0:57:01.800 --> 0:57:04.560 it out. It's on the website right now. What's it about. Well, 0:57:04.640 --> 0:57:08.000 it's basically kind of like a trivia game where you 0:57:08.040 --> 0:57:12.719 get to guess what the player's answer is. So so 0:57:12.760 --> 0:57:15.759 far we've been having a player as a guest on 0:57:15.800 --> 0:57:18.400 the studio in the studio and they try to guess 0:57:18.440 --> 0:57:23.360 what their teammate teammate answers are. Now we have this 0:57:23.440 --> 0:57:27.680 one coming up that might be Irvin again and against 0:57:27.720 --> 0:57:31.600 Rob playing guessing what the Marcus Lawrence is saying. And 0:57:31.680 --> 0:57:35.760 that one turned out pretty funny, pretty hilarious. I was saying, 0:57:35.920 --> 0:57:38.520 let me just change it, and it's not because it's 0:57:38.680 --> 0:57:41.960 our show, in my show or whatever. It's hilarious. It 0:57:42.080 --> 0:57:46.080 was very It was kind of crappy. Actually, you guys 0:57:46.080 --> 0:57:48.200 will have to watch it. Yeah, it was good, but 0:57:48.320 --> 0:57:51.000 just to give you guys a clearer picture even than that, 0:57:51.440 --> 0:57:54.520 it's basically, you ask a player or a question and 0:57:54.560 --> 0:57:56.920 then you stop it stop the video of him get 0:57:57.000 --> 0:57:58.800 before he can give an answer, and you ask the 0:57:58.840 --> 0:58:01.240 two contestants what do you think his answer was? You 0:58:01.240 --> 0:58:03.960 give him multiple choice and then they say, I think 0:58:03.960 --> 0:58:06.280 it was this. In that first episode, one of the 0:58:06.280 --> 0:58:10.520 funniest moments was asking about Jalen Smith and what he 0:58:10.840 --> 0:58:12.680 One of the things that people wouldn't know about him, 0:58:12.680 --> 0:58:15.400 I think was the question and I just will say 0:58:15.800 --> 0:58:19.320 door the door the Explorer was included in his answer, 0:58:19.720 --> 0:58:22.160 and it was pretty funny. So it's that kind of stuff, 0:58:22.320 --> 0:58:24.880 really cool concept. You guys are doing a really good job. 0:58:25.080 --> 0:58:27.720 Rob had no chance trying to go up against Rod 0:58:27.840 --> 0:58:31.440 Smith trying to guess the answers of Jalen.
