Welcome to the latest edition 0:00:44.000 --> 0:00:46.320 of The Break, live from s WBC Mortgage Studios at 0:00:46.320 --> 0:00:48.640 the Star. We're presented my little like the Only Beer 0:00:48.800 --> 0:00:51.520 of the Dallas Cowboys. A day we talked Jacksonville defense 0:00:51.640 --> 0:00:54.480 versus the Cowboys offense. Will take some questions from you guys, 0:00:54.480 --> 0:00:56.400 so if you have some, you can hit me on Twitter. 0:00:56.440 --> 0:00:59.560 You can also call us eight eight eight eight five five, two, 0:00:59.600 --> 0:01:02.320 two and seven. But where we're gonna start is where 0:01:02.360 --> 0:01:07.160 we ended. Let's talk about ob J. Nick, you want 0:01:07.200 --> 0:01:09.920 to go, that's something you want to say. You know, 0:01:11.200 --> 0:01:13.920 It's not like I'm doing anything. It's the owner that 0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:17.960 keeps talking. He keeps this thing going. You know. It's 0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:21.040 like a camp fire. It's like Okay, well there that 0:01:21.160 --> 0:01:22.880 that camp, that fire is about to be out. It's 0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:25.320 like watch this and then the flame comes, how it goes? 0:01:25.440 --> 0:01:30.920 I don't know camp like once Nascar. You know, yeah, 0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:34.160 camp out there. But that's um, yeah, I'm not gonna 0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:36.080 be roughing it out there. You know that's not true. 0:01:36.080 --> 0:01:40.760 I don't say sorry if the response right, I didn't 0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:48.480 even say that. Get a text just you know, our 0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:53.000 stream just went down, our stream literally, just I'm sorry. 0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:57.320 When Jerry said this could break, I could break. Yeah, 0:01:58.240 --> 0:02:01.520 I think he could. And here's here's I think what's 0:02:01.560 --> 0:02:05.120 it sounds like people are not really remembering this aspect 0:02:05.120 --> 0:02:07.320 of it. The sooner he also said sooner than later. 0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:10.080 And I think the reason why is just looking at 0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:13.560 the math. Another thing that's not strong for me. But 0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:16.440 four weeks. If you sign him now, you got to 0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:18.239 put him on IR immediately because he's not going to 0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:19.960 be wasting a spot in your roster. You gotta put 0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:21.440 him on IR. If you want him back for the 0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:25.720 playoffs for that first games, you got to do it 0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:27.400 now so you can get him back for the playoffs 0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:29.840 at all, if he's ready to even do that. So 0:02:30.800 --> 0:02:32.839 I don't know, I mean, I just think that that's 0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:34.920 where I think the sooner than later thinking this is 0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:37.800 going to happen at all, do it? And you know, 0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:44.280 it's probably the most relevant, irrelevant story ever because he 0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:46.960 may never even play for the Cowboys. Yeah, but I 0:02:46.960 --> 0:02:49.280 mean we've seen this before, and I think there's so 0:02:49.320 --> 0:02:51.520 many things that can come into play when you'd start 0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:55.480 dealing with these caliber of players and their connection to 0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:57.640 the Cowboys. I mean, the fact of the matter is, 0:02:57.680 --> 0:02:59.840 you hit the nail on the head. This isn't this 0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:03.720 is an original reporting necessarily, this is Jerry literally said it. 0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:06.240 He was getting into his car and he was like, yeah, 0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:08.800 this thing could break soon, sooner rather than later, Like 0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:12.080 that's Jerry is saying. So if Jerry is saying it, 0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:14.800 then of course you have to take it seriously. And 0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:17.480 I know there are a lot of people and myself personally, 0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:19.520 I just you know, as you're looking at you kind 0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:21.600 of like, okay, either do it. Don't like I'm just 0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:23.760 kind of tired of talking about it. But I think 0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:26.720 the reason why it keeps coming back is because the owner. 0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:29.240 It seems as though the owner is still very interested 0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:32.400 in the possibilities here. And I get his point. I 0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:35.080 think the point of what he's saying is if there 0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:38.240 isn't even a chance that at some point in the 0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:41.880 playoffs this guy could be healthy and can help you 0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:44.960 give you a few plays, right, That is the difference 0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:47.680 between the team that wins the super Bowl and the 0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:49.720 team that doesn't, the team that gets to the super 0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:52.000 Bowl and the team that doesn't. It's a few plays. 0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:54.839 And if you can have a chance to maybe get 0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:57.120 that out of a player like this, it might be 0:03:57.160 --> 0:03:59.840 worth it. He is willing to write the check to 0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:02.640 try and get it. Daniel always, you know, Jerry always 0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:05.280 comes on either you know the dot com side or 0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:06.800 you know, or it comes on the radio at one 0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:09.840 o five three and he says, you would be surprised 0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:13.560 the check I would write. Jerry would write a million 0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:16.680 dollar check. If what Derek is talking about is absolutely right, 0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:18.640 that all of a sudden in the game Odell Beckham 0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:21.840 plays and he catches three balls, one of us a touchdown, 0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:23.640 the other two or first downs in the game, and 0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:27.560 you win, that would be completely worth it to Jerry Jones. 0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:30.800 Not everybody else you know along the way would be 0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:34.240 like wow. But that's I want to ask you Nick, 0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:36.600 because again I thought you did a great job on 0:04:36.680 --> 0:04:38.680 one oh five three this morning talking about they got 0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:40.320 you on suddenly and you did a great job of 0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:44.520 handling that. Is this a Johnny Manzill's situation with it? 0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:47.880 And I mean this in a way where like Jerry's 0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:52.880 lining up and Stephen and Will and Mike McCarthy and 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:55.880 medical staff and everybody's over there, Saint Jerry, it's not 0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:59.400 gonna time's not gonna work, and Jerry's doesn't have time 0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:02.320 for you to tell him that, you know, I mean, 0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:04.640 is that here what we're dealing with right now. I 0:05:04.680 --> 0:05:08.360 think the same type of premise of Jerry leading the charge. 0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:12.000 The difference is as you're not you're not gonna pass 0:05:12.080 --> 0:05:15.240 You're not passing up on potential Zach Martin. Yeah, like 0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:18.120 they would have if they didn't, right, right, So it's 0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:21.440 either take O, B J or Air. I mean, like 0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:24.640 that's well, the argument could be, listen, you signed t 0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:27.880 Y Hilton, like Jerry, we've got the guy that we 0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:31.719 think can who's healthy and all that. You know, maybe 0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:35.480 that's where the argument is. But then Jerry goes, did 0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:38.159 you ever see that one hand catch that guy made 0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:40.440 on us in that game? Do you ever see what 0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:42.400 he did in the Super Bowl. You know, did you 0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:45.320 ever see you know, all this stuff going on, So yeah, 0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:48.320 I could understand Jerry, And listen, I'm dancing with you 0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:50.479 on this yesterday. I don't think I was dancing with you. 0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:53.480 I'm ready to dal you. We gotta we gotta get 0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:55.840 our mass straight. We're gonna get our mass straight. On 0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:57.720 percentages and stuff. And I don't know if you could 0:05:57.760 --> 0:05:59.680 really put a percentage on it, because I think it's 0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:02.920 up to the player. If the player was really, really smart, 0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:05.760 he would take the opportunity to work with one of 0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:08.080 the best rehab guys in the league and get paid 0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:10.440 to do it. And if it doesn't work out, where 0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:13.239 the season and like it never happens, he gets money, 0:06:13.240 --> 0:06:15.920 he gets rehabbed, and now he's ready to make money 0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:18.920 in the fall. It's a no it's it's a no 0:06:19.040 --> 0:06:21.680 lost thing for him to come in here and sign 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:24.200 and take what they're willing to offer him. And with 0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:26.960 the opportunity of getting him right to maybe he could 0:06:26.960 --> 0:06:29.400 play in that game that Derek's talking about. You know, 0:06:29.560 --> 0:06:33.760 when you start asking Nick that question laughing that movie 0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:35.720 I don't even remember the name of it, But he's 0:06:35.760 --> 0:06:38.760 like we're going streaking and he goes running and next 0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:40.560 thing you know, you see him out there streaking by 0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:43.360 himself and nobody's out there. Only difference here is I 0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:45.560 think the old school. Yeah. The only difference here is that, 0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:47.240 why are you looking like that? I just it's just 0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:50.840 we're different. Nick. You don't want me, Nick, I haven't 0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:55.080 seen that movie today. You've never seen today? Like oh today, okay, yeah, 0:06:55.080 --> 0:06:58.840 because that's right up you're at that You're kind I 0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:00.760 don't remember that now, I don't even remember. But but 0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:03.599 it's like, but the difference here is Jerry can be 0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:05.880 out there by himself and it can still happen. And 0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:08.440 that's why this story continues to go is because he 0:07:08.520 --> 0:07:10.840 doesn't need he doesn't need everybody in line up with 0:07:10.920 --> 0:07:14.280 him on his side on this. He could just literally say, guys, 0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:16.560 is what we're doing, and guess what. Everybody's gonna have 0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:18.680 to get in line because that's what Jerry wants to 0:07:18.680 --> 0:07:21.440 do here the owner, I totally agree. I think everything 0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:23.080 that you said on one oh five three the Fan 0:07:23.160 --> 0:07:26.280 this morning and your story on Dallas Cowboys dot Com, 0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:28.800 like I say, I don't ever, I've never known you 0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:30.720 just to throw stuff up against the wall and hope 0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:33.760 it sticks. The employer always strikes if there's something going 0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:36.800 on here. And you know what, I'm like you, I'm 0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:39.160 walking into the smoke and I'm looking for the fire 0:07:39.280 --> 0:07:43.040 right now. But Amber makes some sense of all this, 0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:45.560 I mean really makes some sense of all this, because 0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:47.600 I know how you are. You're pretty cut, cut and dry. 0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:51.239 What do you think just sitting here listening to you guys, 0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:54.800 I'm freaking over it. I'm so annoyed. I cannot express 0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:58.400 how annoyed I am right now at the whole situation. 0:07:58.480 --> 0:08:02.360 It's one of those things that you're like, uh, excited, 0:08:02.680 --> 0:08:05.360 and then you're excited, excited, exciting, nothing happened, and then 0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:07.720 you start losing the excitement. Not that I don't want 0:08:07.800 --> 0:08:09.480 him here or whatever, but it's just like one of 0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:12.120 those like you're kind of getting over it. What's that 0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:16.800 fairy tale? Not fairy tale, that little kid story, not 0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:24.440 that one Little kids the cry wolf or whatever. Ye. Yeah, 0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:26.920 it's one of those situations like, Okay, it's gonna happen 0:08:27.080 --> 0:08:33.960 or notis but like down, yeah, but the thing is 0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:37.360 last night. So I'm seeing the reports right and then 0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:40.280 at the same time I'm looking at other reports that 0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:44.640 are coming out saying he might not even be ready 0:08:44.679 --> 0:08:47.560 for even the playoffs. He might just wait until free 0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:50.240 agency and kind of wait his options at that point. 0:08:50.320 --> 0:08:54.560 So it's like, Okay, which one is it? And if 0:08:55.240 --> 0:08:57.040 and he goes back to what you guys were talking 0:08:57.040 --> 0:09:00.400 about the other day, whether like the player him self, 0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:02.920 whether he actually believes that he's going to be ready 0:09:03.040 --> 0:09:06.240 or not, because, like you guys said, why what would 0:09:06.280 --> 0:09:08.640 be to hold up at this point? Rather than sign 0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:11.760 get out here, start training. You got one of the 0:09:11.800 --> 0:09:15.760 best doctors in the country. Why not come out here. 0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:20.120 So it's just it's very confusing as to what's actually happening, 0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:24.520 and it's just like, Okay, is it worth it? Is 0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:27.600 it worth all this drama distraction? I mean, I don't 0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:30.679 think this is distracting the players whatsoever, and the team 0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:33.760 and McCarthy and all that. This is all Jerry. But 0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:36.760 if it's going to happen, let's let's freaking do this thing. 0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:40.079 And if not, is he it's just confusing health wise? 0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:43.400 Is he even able to play just one? I guess 0:09:43.440 --> 0:09:46.800 that's really well right now at least two plays or 0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:49.240 something playoffs? Not right now, he's not. But to an 0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:54.800 eighty year old man who hasn't seen really NFC championship 0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:59.040 success in twenty something years. He's looking at like, you 0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:00.960 know what, I don't have time for you guys to 0:10:00.960 --> 0:10:03.440 tell me this is not gonna work. You know, we're 0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:05.880 not We're not guaranteed tomorrow around here, you know. And 0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:08.280 I think that I think there's a sense of urgency. 0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:10.960 I think Jerry understands what the player can do. I 0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:13.520 think it's just can he get everybody else to come 0:10:13.559 --> 0:10:17.199 with him on it and hits his team? He needs 0:10:17.200 --> 0:10:19.640 the player to come with him now, that's it. He 0:10:19.679 --> 0:10:22.079 needs to convince the player this is the best place 0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:24.960 for him right now. I think something in him, sorry, 0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:30.000 something in him actually in OBJ actually changed after hearing 0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:33.680 the t Y Hilton signing. Do you think that would 0:10:33.720 --> 0:10:35.880 even affect him? Are you? Are you saying it did? 0:10:36.280 --> 0:10:39.080 He would he have changed his thoughts on what he 0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:42.160 might want to do after Maybe I'm just wondering because 0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:44.680 prior to that it seemed kind of like, Okay, maybe 0:10:44.679 --> 0:10:47.640 this is a done deal, it could happen anytime soon 0:10:47.800 --> 0:10:52.520 or whatever. But then did that signing, Maybe because clearly 0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:55.040 the Cowboys still want him. Jerry Jones still wants him. 0:10:55.679 --> 0:10:59.640 But did that change something in Obj's mentality or you know, 0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:01.680 I don't know this because I never talked to him, 0:11:01.720 --> 0:11:05.880 but um, I think that he he There's two ways 0:11:05.880 --> 0:11:07.960 you can look at it. He could also say, you know, 0:11:07.800 --> 0:11:09.400 he said, I don't want to be here for the 0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:12.120 regular season, I don't need to be any made a 0:11:12.880 --> 0:11:15.280 well me too, yeah, me too, Like but like, you 0:11:15.280 --> 0:11:17.079 don't have to say that because you're not going through. 0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:18.880 That's all you could have said is I would love 0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:21.600 to be here, I'm not ready to do that. Then 0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:25.080 everyone understands that. Yeah, But I don't think OBJ nover 0:11:25.160 --> 0:11:27.480 disrespect to t Why Hilton and you know, be honest, 0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:29.760 the why Hilton said some things yesterday that didn't sit 0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:33.360 well with me either, But whatever, it's I'm old school, 0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:36.880 I guess for um, what do you say? That was? Oh? 0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:39.439 Just he just kind of kept something like make you 0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:45.040 there for a second. Oh, I'm trying to retire. I 0:11:45.080 --> 0:11:49.960 mean I always said if that happened though, No, Um, 0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:57.200 I just think just so hilarious. I mean just the 0:11:57.280 --> 0:11:59.480 point of like, I just wanted to watch my kids 0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:01.320 this year. I didn't really miss football and I didn't 0:12:01.320 --> 0:12:03.120 really want to play. I wanted to watch them play sports. 0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:06.480 But now that they're season's over, I'm ready, you know. 0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:08.600 I don't know. I just kind of and he said 0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:10.280 it once, they said it twice, and you know, it 0:12:10.360 --> 0:12:12.160 was did you miss football at all? He's like, not really, 0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:15.600 and so it just kind of, I don't know, whatever, 0:12:15.679 --> 0:12:17.559 just go go run routes. I don't I don't care. 0:12:17.600 --> 0:12:19.560 I know that I'm a little different when it comes 0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:22.400 to that, and but you know, I mean, but I 0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:24.800 got kids too, and I you balance it, you do 0:12:24.840 --> 0:12:26.640 it and all that stuff. So just I just I 0:12:26.720 --> 0:12:29.200 just wonder what it's like. And I think back to 0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:34.120 like Jason Witton was pissed off when Cole Beasley quit 0:12:34.200 --> 0:12:37.959 for like a he was came back and then it 0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:39.240 was like, we don't want this guy, you know, and 0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:41.360 then he saw him run routes. He's like, Okay, he'll work. 0:12:41.520 --> 0:12:43.719 But but I mean, you know, it's just the mentality 0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:46.360 of these guys are busting their ass, and so these 0:12:46.400 --> 0:12:49.040 other guys are coming in going all right, well, I'm 0:12:49.080 --> 0:12:51.080 you know, I'm I'm ready to join you guys. You 0:12:51.080 --> 0:12:52.840 guys are ten and three, look like you might do 0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:54.960 something in the playoffs. I mean, no one's trying to, 0:12:55.120 --> 0:12:58.319 you know, join the Falcons, you know, so it's it 0:12:58.440 --> 0:13:01.200 just kind of it's fine with me, it's whatever. But 0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:03.679 I just wonder what some of the Marcus Lawrences in 0:13:03.679 --> 0:13:05.439 the locker room think about those comments. But I will 0:13:05.440 --> 0:13:08.200 say this in fairness, he did also say I'm spending 0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:11.760 ten hours at this facility every day going forward to 0:13:11.800 --> 0:13:15.320 make sure I'm prepared. Like he is. He is a worker, 0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:18.200 and you said I'm here to work. And by the way, 0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:20.520 I think part of that, You know, when you when 0:13:20.559 --> 0:13:23.240 you've been spending so many years and his kids are teenagers, 0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:26.040 I think, yeah, when you're spending so many years playing football, 0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:28.200 which means your kids haven't had the benefit of you 0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:30.960 being around, and then you have a year where you 0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:33.680 can actually be around, he probably didn't have time to 0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:36.360 think about football or miss football because he's so wrapped 0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:38.480 up in being a dad, because you know how it 0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:40.880 is being a dad. It's time consuming, right, And so 0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:43.120 I get that part. And I just look at it like, 0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:45.240 are you willing to work now? And it sounds like 0:13:45.280 --> 0:13:47.040 he is a worker. It sounds like he's coming in 0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:49.040 the building like I'm here to work, and I'm here 0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:50.840 to provide what I can for this team. So for me, 0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:53.520 I tell us what you did in third and three 0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:56.240 against the Jaguars and he catches a six six Shart 0:13:56.280 --> 0:13:58.520 pass to win the game, or you know, yeah, get 0:13:58.520 --> 0:14:02.319 a first down. No, yes, here, I think that Odell 0:14:02.400 --> 0:14:05.440 Beckham has lost all his leverage because we've seen teams 0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:08.600 now start to sign guys. Buffalo goes and gets Cold Beasley, 0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:11.640 the Cowboys go get t Y Hilton. You know, they're 0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:13.440 kind of in that. They're kind of in that mode 0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:15.880 now where like people are like, listen, we're moving on, 0:14:15.920 --> 0:14:17.440 but if you want to, if you wanted to be 0:14:17.480 --> 0:14:19.880 a part, the one team that's willing to kind of 0:14:19.960 --> 0:14:22.920 keep going here is Dallas. That's the one team. What 0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:25.120 did you hear Buffalo? Buffalo how a statement? Yesterdy? I 0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:27.080 think it was their GM. That's it. That they haven't 0:14:27.080 --> 0:14:29.200 closed the door on Odell either. Okay, Well, so the 0:14:29.240 --> 0:14:33.040 interesting part becomes like are they like, if it falls 0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:35.280 to us, you know, we might consider it, or they 0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:37.360 like we still are in this thing. Like that's the 0:14:37.400 --> 0:14:39.640 part where you don't really know how committed they are 0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:41.360 to trying to get a d I didn't hear the 0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:43.280 statement yesterday, but if that's the kid, because it to 0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:46.040 me it appeared that teams were starting to go away 0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:48.160 and Dallas was the one that was just going to 0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:50.800 hang in there and and maybe make this work. So 0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:53.720 I don't know, man, Like I said, it's it's one 0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:57.040 of those things that Odell needs to make the decision. 0:14:57.080 --> 0:14:59.080 But he needs to make it fast. He needs to 0:14:59.120 --> 0:15:01.120 make that we don't. I mean, like you start to 0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:03.880 talk of people around the league about Okay, when could 0:15:03.880 --> 0:15:05.520 you think you come back? And they're like, if they're 0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:07.600 thinking this is like an eight week injury or seven 0:15:07.600 --> 0:15:10.280 week injury, they just wasted a week, you know, where 0:15:10.280 --> 0:15:12.920 he could have been here on Monday, signed veteran minimum 0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:15.720 and they could have started into the rehab process. You know, 0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:18.800 every week that he's not doing this and he's an 0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:22.240 Arizona trying to rehab, it's not helping him, nor it's 0:15:22.240 --> 0:15:24.320 helping the Dallas Cowboys. You know, I'd love to know. 0:15:24.400 --> 0:15:27.280 I'd love to know if if if the Cowboys are 0:15:27.320 --> 0:15:30.240 still interested as they said they are. Is this thing 0:15:30.320 --> 0:15:33.240 being held up by OBJ or is this thing being 0:15:33.280 --> 0:15:36.120 held up by the Cowboys or both? Is there some 0:15:36.560 --> 0:15:40.280 lynchpin that's kind of we can't do that, or I 0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:43.560 think size we don't know the player. Yeah, I wonder 0:15:43.600 --> 0:15:46.320 where that that lies, because it sounds like everybody wants 0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:50.520 it right, there's one person in the world that knows 0:15:50.760 --> 0:15:55.280 how Obj's knee really is. Yeah, and I think that 0:15:55.280 --> 0:15:57.560 that's what the hold up is. I think he knows 0:15:57.600 --> 0:16:00.760 that he's not there and you know, and he can 0:16:01.080 --> 0:16:03.800 push this on, well, how how hard are you willing 0:16:03.840 --> 0:16:06.520 to work to come back? Because if you know, if 0:16:06.560 --> 0:16:08.960 you you know, if you're out there in Arizona working 0:16:09.160 --> 0:16:11.120 with your guy. And I'm not saying the guy or 0:16:11.160 --> 0:16:13.880 the gall out there that's rehabbing him as bad at 0:16:13.920 --> 0:16:16.760 their job. I'm just saying, I know this guy here, 0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:19.920 being with him for fourteen years, I've seen what he's 0:16:19.960 --> 0:16:22.200 done too players to getting get Brown, to get him 0:16:22.240 --> 0:16:25.040 back to playing again. And if there's you know, if 0:16:25.080 --> 0:16:27.640 if Odell was smart or somebody was smart, they would 0:16:27.640 --> 0:16:29.320 get to Odell and said, listen, this guy is one 0:16:29.320 --> 0:16:31.480 of the best rehab guys in the league. You know 0:16:31.840 --> 0:16:34.760 he is going to work your rear off to get back. Now, 0:16:34.800 --> 0:16:37.920 the problem is, does Odell want to work to get 0:16:38.000 --> 0:16:40.400 back or does he want to do it on his terms, 0:16:40.680 --> 0:16:43.640 because that guy, that trainer there, he will go and 0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:45.400 get in your face and say, if you don't want 0:16:45.440 --> 0:16:47.280 to do this, I ain't coming out here every day 0:16:47.880 --> 0:16:49.880 he wants you have to. It's a it's a it's 0:16:49.920 --> 0:16:52.080 not a one way street with him now. And I 0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:54.520 trust me fourteen years of being around that cat and 0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:56.240 you've seen him. You go to toe to toe with 0:16:56.280 --> 0:16:58.760 Bill Parcels. Yeah, like he doesn't care about it. Oh 0:16:58.800 --> 0:17:01.360 b J. You know he'll say whatever he needs to say. Uh. 0:17:01.480 --> 0:17:04.240 And that's that's the question here. You know, is Odell 0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:07.119 trying to come in and maybe join a team. And 0:17:07.560 --> 0:17:09.800 I'm not saying steal a championship. I'm not saying that 0:17:09.880 --> 0:17:11.600 because this has got a lot of work to do. 0:17:11.760 --> 0:17:13.520 But you know, just be a part of something special 0:17:13.600 --> 0:17:15.480 here and you know the Cowboys can. Also there's a 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:17.960 flip side to it as well. The guy never plays 0:17:18.000 --> 0:17:20.439 a down for you. It doesn't work out, and then 0:17:20.480 --> 0:17:22.639 he becomes a free agent, he signs a big deal, man, 0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:26.000 you get a comp so which is valuable. It's valuable, 0:17:26.160 --> 0:17:28.880 especially if he gets a big way this team drafts. Sure, Yeah, 0:17:29.240 --> 0:17:33.040 I mean there's there's ways to use each other. If 0:17:33.080 --> 0:17:35.080 that's that's the right term. Yeah, everybody can get a 0:17:35.119 --> 0:17:38.160 little something out. He could really win if he gets 0:17:38.240 --> 0:17:40.479 here quick enough because he can get rehab and then 0:17:40.560 --> 0:17:42.760 when Marsh rolls around it, people are if he wants 0:17:42.800 --> 0:17:45.200 to go out, his knee will be ready to go. Yeah, 0:17:45.240 --> 0:17:47.160 I mean his he will be ready to go for people. 0:17:47.200 --> 0:17:49.239 He could actually work out for somebody, and somebody think 0:17:49.240 --> 0:17:51.040 can give him a big contract. All right, we're gonna 0:17:51.080 --> 0:17:53.160 take our first break. We're gonna come back. We'll jump 0:17:53.200 --> 0:17:55.760 into the Jacksonville defense versus the Cowboys offensive Dad.

This segment presented by blockchain 0:20:35.080 --> 0:20:38.800 dot Com. All right, let's talk about Jacksonville's defense versus 0:20:38.840 --> 0:20:40.960 the Cowboys off its Brian. What do they do best 0:20:41.040 --> 0:20:43.280 on defense? They will try and knock you unconscious in 0:20:43.320 --> 0:20:46.280 that secondary and that they I watched that Kansas City 0:20:46.359 --> 0:20:50.399 game and yeah, they these guys will hit. Now, they 0:20:50.480 --> 0:20:53.240 give up yards, They'll give up some yards and they 0:20:53.359 --> 0:20:56.040 you know, they're best players. Nicked up Traybon Walker from 0:20:56.080 --> 0:20:58.680 George's one of their best players. He was drafted first 0:20:58.720 --> 0:21:02.359 overall and so I mean he about him he is now, 0:21:02.440 --> 0:21:04.359 he is a good player. They stand him up, they 0:21:04.400 --> 0:21:07.200 put his hand down. He's number forty four. Uh, they're 0:21:07.200 --> 0:21:09.520 gonna move him around. They're gonna try and find spots 0:21:09.680 --> 0:21:13.680 where he can rush. I'm super impressed with him coming 0:21:13.720 --> 0:21:16.240 out of Georgia and you'd look at him, the length, 0:21:16.359 --> 0:21:20.200 the ability to bend, finish all those things him. Josh 0:21:20.280 --> 0:21:23.119 Allen number forty one on the other side, those are 0:21:23.200 --> 0:21:26.000 kind of their pass rush guys. Uh. If you if 0:21:26.040 --> 0:21:30.720 you remember Chase on that the Cowboys in the cd 0:21:30.880 --> 0:21:34.960 LAMB draft. Uh. In twenty twenty Remember the Cowboys were 0:21:35.000 --> 0:21:38.359 talking about Chason from LSU. He hasn't been playing very 0:21:38.440 --> 0:21:40.959 much at all, so it's kind of a it's kind 0:21:41.000 --> 0:21:43.200 of a front that you can you can pass block 0:21:43.280 --> 0:21:45.439 these guys, but you have to be able to handle 0:21:45.600 --> 0:21:48.240 Alan and you have to be able to handle Walker. 0:21:48.480 --> 0:21:50.720 Those are the two guys been game. Edge guys. Yeah, 0:21:50.760 --> 0:21:54.000 those edge guys, And like I say, they use Walker 0:21:54.280 --> 0:21:56.720 as really he's like a linebacker is what he is. 0:21:56.800 --> 0:21:59.320 So you'll have him standing up, you'll have him, you'll 0:21:59.359 --> 0:22:02.200 have him with a hand on the ground. But I was, 0:22:02.440 --> 0:22:06.400 I was. I know their secondary doesn't cover particularly well, 0:22:07.119 --> 0:22:10.760 but what they're doing is like there their guys, like 0:22:11.040 --> 0:22:13.520 I mentioned Andre Cisco, the free safety, he is a 0:22:13.640 --> 0:22:17.440 blow them up guy. Rashawn Jenkins is another guy. He's 0:22:17.520 --> 0:22:19.760 like he's taking the approach of trying to rip the 0:22:19.840 --> 0:22:22.240 ball out of your hand. Remember last week with Jalen 0:22:22.320 --> 0:22:25.720 Petrie from Houston. That type of player. They're gonna hold 0:22:25.760 --> 0:22:27.360 you up, try and rip the ball out of your hands, 0:22:27.640 --> 0:22:29.320 but they're also going to, like a mentioned, try and 0:22:29.400 --> 0:22:32.120 knock you out is something that they're they're really really 0:22:32.160 --> 0:22:35.800 big on hitting in the secondary. But you see you 0:22:35.880 --> 0:22:38.800 see them. They struggle with stuff in the middle of 0:22:38.840 --> 0:22:41.920 the field and then they struggle on stuff on the outside, 0:22:42.600 --> 0:22:45.280 especially when it comes from one side to the other. 0:22:45.560 --> 0:22:47.879 They leave up a lot of open space there. So 0:22:48.359 --> 0:22:50.560 if you're thinking about if you could hold up cowboys 0:22:50.600 --> 0:22:53.639 like to max protect those those deep crossing routes. They 0:22:53.720 --> 0:22:55.440 try to do it on Houston in the first play 0:22:55.480 --> 0:22:57.520 of the game and ended up throwing it to Zeke 0:22:57.640 --> 0:23:00.680 for that that game first play on offense. But you 0:23:00.720 --> 0:23:03.560 could get stuff across the field on them, but you 0:23:03.680 --> 0:23:06.000 just got to make sure that you you uh, you 0:23:06.359 --> 0:23:10.000 protect your front with those two guys, Alan and Walker, 0:23:10.440 --> 0:23:13.560 and then be very aware head on the swivel for 0:23:13.880 --> 0:23:16.840 Cisco Jenkins and these guys that like to hit in 0:23:16.880 --> 0:23:19.680 the secondary. If you had to say one guy that 0:23:19.880 --> 0:23:21.720 was the that's the wall though, the guy that you 0:23:21.800 --> 0:23:24.800 could go after and exploit. Who is it? I think 0:23:24.920 --> 0:23:27.440 like when when I when I was watching them play, 0:23:28.000 --> 0:23:31.520 it was it was Tyson Campbell was a guy that 0:23:31.680 --> 0:23:34.240 he's number thirty two that they kind of because it's 0:23:34.280 --> 0:23:37.159 funny the position. He's a corner. He's the corner. And 0:23:37.520 --> 0:23:40.399 now they have a guy named a linebacker. I need 0:23:40.480 --> 0:23:44.200 to mention him. Chad Muma is a linebacker. He's he's 0:23:44.320 --> 0:23:47.320 nicked up right now. But if he plays him and 0:23:47.800 --> 0:23:50.600 Devin Lloyd, Devin Lloyd, the two guys that you know. 0:23:50.760 --> 0:23:54.520 Devin Lloyd was also a first round pick. Good player, 0:23:54.720 --> 0:23:56.960 I mean a really good player, but you know he's 0:23:57.040 --> 0:23:59.119 kind of learning along the way. Him and Chad Muma. 0:23:59.320 --> 0:24:02.399 They got a good young linebacker crew is what they have. 0:24:02.960 --> 0:24:06.920 But there are times where they get a little too overaggressive. 0:24:07.200 --> 0:24:09.840 So when you start to say take advantage ball, go 0:24:10.600 --> 0:24:13.040 show one way, ball, come back the other way, kind 0:24:13.040 --> 0:24:16.800 of a thing exactly exactly. And you know, now you've 0:24:16.800 --> 0:24:19.120 got Tyrn Smith back over there on that on that side. 0:24:19.160 --> 0:24:21.800 We'll see what happens at the guard spot. But man, 0:24:22.040 --> 0:24:24.720 you know, kind of work behind that work behind that group. 0:24:24.920 --> 0:24:26.919 I'll be interested to see what happens at the right 0:24:26.960 --> 0:24:29.639 tackle spot going forward here for the for the Cowboys, 0:24:29.840 --> 0:24:33.040 because I think they lost something with Chad with what's 0:24:33.040 --> 0:24:35.479 gonna be with Terrence Steele being out and Martin they 0:24:35.480 --> 0:24:37.119 were doing a really good job in the running game. 0:24:37.240 --> 0:24:39.840 Let's see if they can kind of replace that that ability. 0:24:39.880 --> 0:24:42.360 Maybe they could do it with power with Peters. We'll 0:24:42.359 --> 0:24:44.159 see what they do with ball as well. I mean, 0:24:44.280 --> 0:24:46.760 we've got some practices to kind of figure that out. Yeah, 0:24:46.840 --> 0:24:50.200 And I think, you know, this is just going off 0:24:50.240 --> 0:24:53.200 of kind of hearsay. I don't know what's going to happen, 0:24:53.240 --> 0:24:54.960 and I know the Cowboys don't want to like throw 0:24:55.000 --> 0:24:57.080 out everything that they're going to do. But I don't 0:24:57.119 --> 0:24:58.840 know if you're hearing this too, But I wouldn't rule 0:24:58.880 --> 0:25:02.000 out Tyrn Smith on right tackle spot. It was kind 0:25:02.040 --> 0:25:04.359 of flirted around the other day and I was like, 0:25:04.520 --> 0:25:07.360 I just missed it, you know, because he's left tackles. Yeah, 0:25:07.400 --> 0:25:09.800 it's him, but it really comes down to who can 0:25:09.880 --> 0:25:12.280 do it because Tyler Smith hasn't ever been on that 0:25:12.440 --> 0:25:14.280 right side and Peters has been there just for a 0:25:14.359 --> 0:25:17.480 little bit. Tyrn did play it eleven years, talked about 0:25:17.480 --> 0:25:20.119 that earlier this week, So I'm just looking at all 0:25:20.160 --> 0:25:23.000 options and it's just kind of hearsay. I wouldn't be surprised. 0:25:23.040 --> 0:25:26.280 Maybe not this game, but when he plays against Philly, 0:25:26.760 --> 0:25:29.520 maybe Tyran Smith is your right tackle. There's just a 0:25:29.560 --> 0:25:33.240 lot of options out there. Well, I wouldn't to ask you, 0:25:33.400 --> 0:25:36.040 Brian a ball, how are they with like getting their 0:25:36.080 --> 0:25:39.960 hands on the balls, And yeah, the turnovers. Interceptions, Yeah, 0:25:40.119 --> 0:25:44.199 well that's there. You know, they say they're secondary. They 0:25:44.280 --> 0:25:46.399 do give up the yards. I didn't in the games 0:25:46.480 --> 0:25:50.120 I watched, I didn't see anything Turner watch. The turnovers 0:25:50.200 --> 0:25:53.520 for them were like they get down on the they 0:25:53.560 --> 0:25:55.760 get down near the goal line and then they're punching 0:25:55.800 --> 0:25:58.480 at the ball and stuff like that. They're a tackle gang, 0:25:58.560 --> 0:26:01.280 tackle and rip at the ball kind of team. So 0:26:01.440 --> 0:26:04.480 the games I watched, I didn't see any real you know, 0:26:04.560 --> 0:26:07.320 the interceptions or anything. But it was more like we're 0:26:07.400 --> 0:26:10.080 just trying to when you're standing up and running or moving, 0:26:10.119 --> 0:26:12.120 they're trying to rip the ball. They're trying to They're 0:26:12.160 --> 0:26:13.720 big on trying to get the head on the ball. 0:26:13.800 --> 0:26:17.159 That happened. What game was I watched? It was it 0:26:17.359 --> 0:26:19.600 was a Kansas City game where Kansas City is driving 0:26:19.640 --> 0:26:21.720 and they you know, they tackle the ball and they're 0:26:21.800 --> 0:26:23.919 ripping at it and the next time you know, they 0:26:23.960 --> 0:26:27.359 get a guy there there Alan gets his head on 0:26:27.400 --> 0:26:29.359 the ball and it knocks it out. So it's a fumble. 0:26:29.520 --> 0:26:33.000 So yeah, they but they it's it's weird because like 0:26:33.160 --> 0:26:35.320 you say, there's some big plays against this group. I 0:26:35.400 --> 0:26:38.200 just didn't see the turnovers that you know that you 0:26:38.320 --> 0:26:40.520 think that teams would try and they're creating it by 0:26:40.600 --> 0:26:43.800 trying to like knock balls loose instead of maybe get 0:26:43.880 --> 0:26:47.800 th interceptions. Nick, you brought up Tyron Smith. It looks 0:26:47.800 --> 0:26:49.800 like he's going to be back and playing this weekend. 0:26:50.080 --> 0:26:52.080 I want to go around the table, give me your 0:26:52.119 --> 0:26:55.080 starting five. I want to take it from two different perspectives. 0:26:55.200 --> 0:26:59.160 One you said Tyron Smith, Tyrn Tyrn Did I say 0:26:59.200 --> 0:27:02.760 something else? I just confirmed yes, yes, Tyrn Smith appears 0:27:02.800 --> 0:27:05.399 to be ready to play this week. Right, So that 0:27:05.560 --> 0:27:08.120 being said, I like you give me two different two 0:27:08.160 --> 0:27:11.560 different things. What should happen. I'm talking the starting five 0:27:11.840 --> 0:27:14.359 on the offensive line. What do you think will happen? 0:27:14.520 --> 0:27:16.440 So I need those two. Let's start first with you? 0:27:16.680 --> 0:27:19.880 What game this one? Jacksonville? Yeah, sure, let's talk about 0:27:19.920 --> 0:27:21.560 this week. I do think there's you think there's a 0:27:21.600 --> 0:27:24.119 difference between this week and next two? Okay, so you 0:27:24.160 --> 0:27:27.320 can give me four if you want to start started there. 0:27:27.800 --> 0:27:31.320 I mean, just we can do it collectively. In on Jacksonville. 0:27:31.320 --> 0:27:36.240 I mean Tyler Smith plays at left tackle. Tyler Tyler 0:27:36.359 --> 0:27:38.840 Smith plays at left tackle, Okay, regardless when they do 0:27:38.880 --> 0:27:41.520 with Tyrant, I think that they're gonna east Tyrant into it. 0:27:41.840 --> 0:27:44.120 That's what I believe. So so you don't you're saying 0:27:44.240 --> 0:27:47.080 starting it won't be Tyrant necessarily. I don't think. That 0:27:47.119 --> 0:27:49.120 doesn't mean he doesn't necessarily get in at play some point, 0:27:49.160 --> 0:27:50.760 I think I think it's time tell me who your 0:27:50.800 --> 0:27:52.920 right tackles. We're gonna go that way. Okay, just tell 0:27:52.920 --> 0:27:55.840 me who your right tackle is gonna be. You for Jacksonville, 0:27:55.880 --> 0:28:02.760 for Jacksonville, Peters Depe, I don't know. I really don't know. Okay, 0:28:03.560 --> 0:28:05.560 that's what's what do you think should happen. Let's talk 0:28:05.560 --> 0:28:11.439 about Okay, if Tyron is playing this weekend and then 0:28:11.480 --> 0:28:15.000 you got Peters on the other side, I just I 0:28:15.200 --> 0:28:18.840 don't think they would both maybe play the whole game. 0:28:19.520 --> 0:28:22.919 So maybe now you got them starting, and then as 0:28:23.000 --> 0:28:26.359 the game goes, then you plug in Tyler to replace 0:28:26.480 --> 0:28:33.000 Tyron and then maybe allow Josh Ball to depending how 0:28:33.040 --> 0:28:37.359 the game is going. I know you're making a I 0:28:37.440 --> 0:28:40.040 don't like ball. I don't like ball, but I'm saying 0:28:40.120 --> 0:28:42.720 it just it depends how the game is going. And 0:28:42.880 --> 0:28:47.080 if Jason Peters can go the whole game, that's I 0:28:47.200 --> 0:28:50.000 think the biggest question for a veteran guy like him 0:28:50.080 --> 0:28:52.480 and his age. It's like, I like where you were going, 0:28:52.600 --> 0:28:55.560 but but I'm gonna switch it. I like, left side. 0:28:55.600 --> 0:28:58.240 Don't even touch the left side right now, Yeah, Tyler Connor, 0:28:58.600 --> 0:29:03.880 don't even touch that right side. Peters starts, Tyrn comes 0:29:03.920 --> 0:29:06.680 in there. If that's what he's gonna do. He comes 0:29:06.720 --> 0:29:09.080 in and plays, and then he ends up getting some 0:29:09.200 --> 0:29:12.680 work and then is ready to play the Eagles game. 0:29:12.920 --> 0:29:17.520 And your swing tackle is gonna be Jason Peters, that's maybe. 0:29:17.520 --> 0:29:19.600 And then you don't even have to touch the left side. Yeah, 0:29:20.280 --> 0:29:21.840 you think about that. I'll tell you, I like what 0:29:21.920 --> 0:29:23.840 you're doing. But I'm gonna go with a combination of 0:29:24.080 --> 0:29:27.120 I'm gonna put Tyrn Smith, I'm gonna transition in him easy. 0:29:27.160 --> 0:29:28.960 I'm gonna try and make it where I'm not gonna 0:29:29.000 --> 0:29:31.080 put him at right He hadn't played all year, Yeah, 0:29:31.120 --> 0:29:32.680 so I'm just gonna say I'm gonna put him into 0:29:32.760 --> 0:29:36.320 position that he naturally plays, which you're you know, you're saying, well, 0:29:36.360 --> 0:29:38.920 maybe maybe left tackle this week, maybe right tackle next 0:29:38.960 --> 0:29:41.520 week once you get him back acclimated. But I think, 0:29:41.880 --> 0:29:44.360 to me, the way I would play it was Tyrn 0:29:44.440 --> 0:29:48.400 Smith at at left tackle, Connor McGovern at left guard, 0:29:48.640 --> 0:29:51.480 and then on the right side. I would take Peters 0:29:51.800 --> 0:29:56.040 and Smith and maybe acclimate Tyler Smith and acclimate him 0:29:56.200 --> 0:29:59.080 to get some right tackle work. But you're not taxing 0:29:59.120 --> 0:30:01.479 a forty year old man to have to play sixty 0:30:01.520 --> 0:30:06.600 five plays, So now tiring play the whole game. I'm 0:30:06.640 --> 0:30:09.320 gonna start off with that. Yeah, Now, maybe that's that. 0:30:09.440 --> 0:30:11.760 I mean, it's I know it's a kind of a 0:30:11.880 --> 0:30:14.080 dangerous thing to deal with, but I feel like though 0:30:14.160 --> 0:30:16.760 the way he looks physically right now, I'm kind of like, 0:30:17.320 --> 0:30:20.280 let's go with this. I worry less about him not 0:30:20.520 --> 0:30:23.000 playing than I do a forty year old man playing 0:30:23.080 --> 0:30:26.520 seventy plays. That's how I'm working at looking at it 0:30:26.680 --> 0:30:29.600 right now, and I'm trying to help Tyler Smith not 0:30:29.800 --> 0:30:33.400 get overly exposed at right tackle if that's the case. 0:30:33.560 --> 0:30:35.120 And you know, that's where I kind of look at 0:30:35.160 --> 0:30:36.520 it and I say, I would take kind of a 0:30:36.640 --> 0:30:39.200 hybrid of what you guys are saying. I would actually 0:30:39.400 --> 0:30:41.520 start tiring on the right side. And I say it 0:30:41.560 --> 0:30:43.520 earlier in the week. I think that's the best option 0:30:43.600 --> 0:30:45.640 for me at right tackle is just because I get 0:30:45.680 --> 0:30:47.720 what you're saying. Brian like he's been out, so you 0:30:47.800 --> 0:30:50.040 want to kind of get him back where he's mostly 0:30:50.240 --> 0:30:52.560 I'm not messing with his footwork and all that stuff. 0:30:52.720 --> 0:30:54.400 But for me, I look at it and say, I 0:30:54.520 --> 0:30:57.600 think he's probably the person that if you want to 0:30:57.640 --> 0:31:00.440 have some muscle memory, at least he did it at 0:31:00.520 --> 0:31:03.560 some point for a period of time to where if 0:31:03.640 --> 0:31:06.200 he does it a little bit, it might come back 0:31:06.240 --> 0:31:08.840 to him. For the others, they're working from a point 0:31:08.880 --> 0:31:11.360 of not having done it, like literally not having done 0:31:11.360 --> 0:31:13.600 it enough to have any muscle memory at all. So 0:31:13.760 --> 0:31:16.360 for me, I think I would go with Tyring at right. 0:31:17.080 --> 0:31:19.840 I would stick with Tyler at left. And what I 0:31:19.880 --> 0:31:23.240 would do in this game is I would actually bring 0:31:23.520 --> 0:31:26.400 Peters in at right tackle some just to spell, because 0:31:26.400 --> 0:31:28.040 again I don't want Tyrant to play the whole game. 0:31:28.320 --> 0:31:30.200 I don't want Jason to play the whole game. So 0:31:30.320 --> 0:31:32.120 for me, I kind of am using those two guys 0:31:32.360 --> 0:31:34.800 over on the right side, and it gives it gives 0:31:34.880 --> 0:31:37.360 me an opportunity to give Jason some reps there see 0:31:37.400 --> 0:31:38.840 how he does on the right, because if I want 0:31:38.920 --> 0:31:40.200 him to be my swing, I wanted to be able 0:31:40.240 --> 0:31:42.400 to play right as well. And it gives me an 0:31:42.400 --> 0:31:46.680 opportunity to give Tyring some opportunities at the right tackle spot, 0:31:47.200 --> 0:31:49.920 get him back acclimated. And my hope is that by 0:31:50.040 --> 0:31:52.400 next week we can roll in with him being on 0:31:52.440 --> 0:31:54.080 the right side. And the great point I love about 0:31:54.080 --> 0:31:56.720 it is I still keep developing Tyler Smith as my 0:31:56.840 --> 0:31:58.520 left tackle because he's my left tackle the future. I 0:31:58.560 --> 0:32:02.480 think Tyler Smith's getting word myself. Yeah, last game was 0:32:02.560 --> 0:32:04.680 his last couple of games. They've been they've been a 0:32:04.760 --> 0:32:06.960 little little rough. Yeah, And I was gonna say that 0:32:07.080 --> 0:32:10.840 scenario really scares me because you mentioned muscle memory. And 0:32:12.560 --> 0:32:16.800 I'm not gonna call Tyrn Smith fragile because he's a 0:32:16.920 --> 0:32:23.160 beast and a machine, but you you, if you're referring 0:32:24.040 --> 0:32:28.040 mentioning muscle memory, keep him at the most recent position 0:32:28.120 --> 0:32:31.440 he's been at and his brain and his body can 0:32:31.880 --> 0:32:35.160 remember and work out. Because any little thing that's outside 0:32:35.200 --> 0:32:38.840 of his quote unquote comfort zone I think makes him 0:32:38.920 --> 0:32:43.160 more prone to an error or him slipping or maybe 0:32:43.160 --> 0:32:46.040 he didn't turn his feet or foot where he needed 0:32:46.080 --> 0:32:48.600 to be. And then now, because this is a guy 0:32:48.720 --> 0:32:52.760 I got injured at practice, Yeah, so I'm saying keep 0:32:52.880 --> 0:32:56.800 him where he's best at and don't even risk any 0:32:56.880 --> 0:33:01.000 possibility of mistake or something that he's not accustomed to. 0:33:01.320 --> 0:33:03.520 I get that. What I don't know because I've never 0:33:03.600 --> 0:33:06.640 played left tackle and I haven't played right tackle either. Actually, um, 0:33:07.360 --> 0:33:09.240 what I do, what I'm what I what I do 0:33:09.360 --> 0:33:12.560 look at is is this is it like riding a bike? Right? 0:33:13.040 --> 0:33:15.280 I went and rode a bike about a year ago. 0:33:15.440 --> 0:33:17.840 I had not ridden a bike probably in thirty years. 0:33:17.960 --> 0:33:20.320 Your but hurt? No, it didn't. I was fine, but 0:33:20.600 --> 0:33:24.600 but literally the first minute felt a little awkward. By 0:33:24.680 --> 0:33:27.320 minute too, it was like, this is what I did. 0:33:27.360 --> 0:33:30.480 Like I say, I asked this like a few weeks ago, 0:33:30.560 --> 0:33:33.560 and you were the one who said, no, it's no, no, no, no, no, 0:33:33.960 --> 0:33:35.720 it is it is. But what I'm saying is the 0:33:35.840 --> 0:33:38.680 muscle memory, and it is different. It is, It's very different. 0:33:38.840 --> 0:33:41.280 But my point is, my point is if he's done 0:33:41.280 --> 0:33:43.920 it before, and if it's like riding a bike to 0:33:44.000 --> 0:33:46.160 where all it takes is a little bit for you 0:33:46.280 --> 0:33:48.480 to then for your body to remember, oh I remember 0:33:48.520 --> 0:33:50.800 what this feels like, then it is easier. It's much 0:33:50.840 --> 0:33:53.600 easier for him. And that's instance. Then say Jason Peters, 0:33:53.640 --> 0:33:55.640 who's never done it, he doesn't have the muscle memory, 0:33:55.800 --> 0:33:58.240 so he's having to build that muscle memory from scratch 0:33:58.600 --> 0:34:01.560 rather than somebody like Hirn who has done it before 0:34:02.160 --> 0:34:04.800 for a period of time. So maybe his body, his 0:34:04.880 --> 0:34:07.360 body can just after a little bit of time, can say, 0:34:07.400 --> 0:34:09.799 oh yeah, I remember this. This feels natural to me. Right, 0:34:09.880 --> 0:34:11.440 That's all I'm saying, because I do think it's a 0:34:11.480 --> 0:34:14.680 big difference left to right. If I don't know, I'm 0:34:14.680 --> 0:34:17.240 gonna look at them. I mean, I'm wondering, I'm gonna 0:34:17.320 --> 0:34:20.680 check that. I'm maybe I need to just walk by 0:34:20.760 --> 0:34:22.960 the window today. Yeah, I'll come over to your office. 0:34:23.000 --> 0:34:24.680 I'll come over to your desk and I'll just kind 0:34:24.680 --> 0:34:26.759 of hang out and kind of just casually look over 0:34:27.800 --> 0:34:29.960 because I think that will tell you. I mean, I 0:34:29.960 --> 0:34:31.800 don't I think it'd been open to the media, but 0:34:31.880 --> 0:34:34.799 I would say, I mean, I get it. I've never 0:34:34.880 --> 0:34:37.239 played either left tackle or right tackle either or not. 0:34:37.360 --> 0:34:40.920 I haven't. But the thing is is just block the 0:34:41.080 --> 0:34:43.200 sob in front of you. I mean seriously, I mean, 0:34:43.360 --> 0:34:46.680 like you see drop step to the right. This guy's roll, 0:34:46.800 --> 0:34:50.680 Josh Allen's rolling around here. The dude. That's nice to say, Nick, 0:34:50.760 --> 0:34:53.200 but I mean the coaches have even talked about like 0:34:53.400 --> 0:34:55.400 the left and right side players. I think there is 0:34:55.440 --> 0:34:58.040 something too. I get into it. There is something too. 0:34:58.360 --> 0:35:01.120 There's also something to just the heat of the moment. 0:35:01.840 --> 0:35:05.080 Jason Peters, with the game on the line, goes out there, 0:35:05.440 --> 0:35:07.919 muscle memory or not block this dude to make sure 0:35:07.960 --> 0:35:10.920 he doesn't hit Dak And that works for a few plays. 0:35:11.360 --> 0:35:13.480 Does that work when you have a full game where 0:35:13.480 --> 0:35:16.160 you're playing against a team that knows you're out of 0:35:16.280 --> 0:35:19.040 position and that knows, Okay, here's what we're gonna do 0:35:19.160 --> 0:35:22.160 to make it hard for him. I'll trust whatever Jacksonville 0:35:22.200 --> 0:35:24.560 wants to throw at a right tackle Jason Peters. I'll 0:35:24.600 --> 0:35:26.719 trust Jason Peters being out in the practice field for 0:35:26.760 --> 0:35:29.040 a full week working at it. I trust that better 0:35:29.040 --> 0:35:31.920 because if he can do that just a week after 0:35:32.000 --> 0:35:34.640 that against Philadelphia, if he doesn't have adrenaline to go 0:35:34.719 --> 0:35:37.360 block those dudes, then no adrenaline'll get you through the 0:35:37.440 --> 0:35:39.720 first series. Will it get you through all the series? 0:35:39.800 --> 0:35:44.040 That's the point where you start wondering, like adrenaline, adrenaline 0:35:44.080 --> 0:35:46.040 got balled through twenty eight plays, right, That's what I 0:35:46.120 --> 0:35:48.279 was about to say. Adrenaline can help Josh Ball get 0:35:48.320 --> 0:35:50.960 through it, do you well, Josh Ball. The only gold 0:35:51.040 --> 0:35:53.439 jacket he's gonna wear it was this one. Probably okay, 0:35:53.520 --> 0:35:56.000 he can't fit the probably not, but that's okay. But 0:35:56.360 --> 0:35:59.360 what I'm saying is is Hall of Famers figure it 0:35:59.520 --> 0:36:02.480 outed and I think they can absolutely, absolutely, And that's 0:36:02.520 --> 0:36:05.319 all you right now. See Tyrn Smith and Zack Martin 0:36:05.360 --> 0:36:08.640 on the same side. Yeah, that would be kind of fun. Look, man, 0:36:08.719 --> 0:36:11.080 how many somebody I saw an article this morning? Was 0:36:11.120 --> 0:36:13.520 that on our website? It was somewhere. You don't read 0:36:13.560 --> 0:36:15.960 our website. I do, I do. I saw it on Twitter. 0:36:16.000 --> 0:36:17.719 That's why I'm asking me where it was. But it 0:36:17.880 --> 0:36:20.399 was saying something to the effect of how many teams 0:36:20.440 --> 0:36:22.360 have had the benefit of having three Hall of Famers 0:36:22.400 --> 0:36:24.120 on their offensive line on the field at the same time. 0:36:24.600 --> 0:36:26.560 That's what Dallas is looking at now. Of course you 0:36:26.840 --> 0:36:28.759 questioned about the age and all that stuff, but still 0:36:28.840 --> 0:36:31.280 it's three Hall of Famers, bona fide hall of famers 0:36:31.320 --> 0:36:32.960 that'll be on the field together on the offensive. I 0:36:33.000 --> 0:36:35.120 know the third Will McClay, and that group's already kind 0:36:35.120 --> 0:36:37.239 of looking at the twenty twenty three draft and their 0:36:37.320 --> 0:36:41.920 offensive lineman if there's a guy named Tyler or Smith. 0:36:42.120 --> 0:36:45.080 Stre Connor put them off the board in the box. 0:36:45.160 --> 0:36:46.839 So we're just tired of them. And we got two 0:36:46.880 --> 0:36:51.200 Tylers and two Smiths. I'll tell you what you need. Yeah, 0:36:51.800 --> 0:36:53.799 how you feel about this, I'll tell you the thing 0:36:53.840 --> 0:36:57.000 about it is, whatever you do, I would I would 0:36:57.040 --> 0:37:00.759 test it now and then go with it in Philadelphi. You, Yeah, 0:37:00.880 --> 0:37:02.600 that's what I would do. Yeah, Yeah, I wouldn't. I 0:37:02.640 --> 0:37:05.560 wouldn't jack around to try this game at Jacksonville. I 0:37:05.600 --> 0:37:08.080 don't think it's gonna be is Dallas better game. It's 0:37:08.080 --> 0:37:10.120 gonna be a tough game. It's going to be a fight. 0:37:10.640 --> 0:37:13.000 Just be ready for that. They are, they are playing 0:37:13.040 --> 0:37:15.439 for something down there. I know their head coach, they're 0:37:15.480 --> 0:37:17.560 excited about it. They know they're gonna be probably a 0:37:17.680 --> 0:37:20.120 road team in their own stadium. But you know that 0:37:20.320 --> 0:37:22.960 coach knows about what it takes to play against it, 0:37:23.000 --> 0:37:25.360 and they're a tough, pesky team. That's so. Yeah. With 0:37:25.560 --> 0:37:27.719 that being said, though, you better kind of figure out 0:37:27.760 --> 0:37:30.880 what you're gonna do with Josh Sweat, Fletcher Cox, Lynnville, 0:37:31.000 --> 0:37:35.839 Joseph Hargrave, Reddick Graham. That's where you quit that, Yeah, 0:37:35.960 --> 0:37:40.480 that's going to be. I don't know, but that's what 0:37:40.640 --> 0:37:43.719 you better. Whatever you're working on, Dan, Yeah, whatever you're 0:37:43.719 --> 0:37:46.800 working on right now, you better make sure it's getting 0:37:46.840 --> 0:37:49.799 ready for Christmas Eve. But thirty points is not going 0:37:49.840 --> 0:37:52.480 to win this game against Jacksonville. I don't believe. Really, 0:37:52.560 --> 0:37:54.239 I don't believe. So I'll be may gonna need a 0:37:54.280 --> 0:37:57.600 forty burger, Yes, I do fifty brisket. Yeah, I think 0:37:57.680 --> 0:37:59.640 they need. They're gonna need to score some parts in 0:37:59.719 --> 0:38:01.279 this game, and there's no doubt about it. Then get 0:38:01.360 --> 0:38:04.200 up there, quarterbacks, plain well for them. Really, Yeah, let's 0:38:04.200 --> 0:38:06.320 take our final break. We'll come back. Let's get some questions, 0:38:06.600 --> 0:38:10.120 we'll write Dallas Cowboys dot Com Radio.

Welcome back. Final 0:40:39.600 --> 0:40:42.280 segment of The Break live from the s WBC Mortgage 0:40:42.320 --> 0:40:48.160 studios at the start present think about parcels you were, oh, 0:40:48.320 --> 0:40:50.600 Captain Morgan post. Yeah, I would need no clothes on 0:40:50.760 --> 0:40:53.000 in the locker room. I don't need that in his 0:40:53.040 --> 0:40:58.440 sty I almost threw up in my mouth again. Okay, 0:40:58.520 --> 0:41:05.400 all right, let's move on thinking about that's terrible. All right, 0:41:05.520 --> 0:41:08.760 let's let's let's focus. Let's focus, all right. Melvin Brownlee 0:41:08.800 --> 0:41:11.239 as a question for us, his question is where is 0:41:11.320 --> 0:41:13.920 Tach McKinley. What's going on with Tack McKinley. We expect 0:41:13.920 --> 0:41:16.000 to see him play much about a week ago after 0:41:16.080 --> 0:41:19.880 guess yea and introduced him to the ground. He's on 0:41:19.960 --> 0:41:23.040 the practice squad and you know, they haven't called him 0:41:23.120 --> 0:41:26.080 up yet, and I guess we can wait and see 0:41:26.160 --> 0:41:30.480 what Dorance Armstrong's Yeah, ability is gonna be availability. Sorry, 0:41:30.480 --> 0:41:32.360 are you hearing about him? Because he had the boot 0:41:32.400 --> 0:41:34.160 on Sunday. He told you that it didn't seem like 0:41:34.200 --> 0:41:36.040 he was a big deal, like a big deal in 0:41:36.040 --> 0:41:38.680 the boots off, and uh, he was kind of running 0:41:38.719 --> 0:41:40.160 from the media. You know, they were trying to talk 0:41:40.200 --> 0:41:42.040 to him and he was kind of swimming through people. 0:41:42.080 --> 0:41:44.759 That's good, Yeah, that's true. You know, media is not 0:41:44.840 --> 0:41:47.920 that quick, you know, so he made it, but uh, post, 0:41:48.280 --> 0:41:52.160 you know, he's limited and and and this is a 0:41:52.200 --> 0:41:54.520 big day of practice. We'll find out this week. I 0:41:54.560 --> 0:41:56.759 have a feeling he's gonna play Doran, so that means 0:41:56.880 --> 0:41:59.360 McKinley probably stays on the practice quad. Yeah, I was 0:41:59.400 --> 0:42:01.520 hearing the same. Think Nick's absolutely right about that they're 0:42:01.520 --> 0:42:03.160 going to try and get him through practice. But it 0:42:03.320 --> 0:42:04.960 was likely that he was going to be able to play, 0:42:05.000 --> 0:42:07.160 but they had to get him through practice first. All right, 0:42:07.280 --> 0:42:10.399 let's take a question from Mark Marshall. Does Damon Clark 0:42:10.480 --> 0:42:15.040 have the ability to blitz anything? Yes, I think he does. 0:42:15.120 --> 0:42:16.759 But what they want to do is I think he's 0:42:17.239 --> 0:42:20.880 you know, the courage aspect for him has been a 0:42:20.960 --> 0:42:24.320 little shaky and you know, awareness I think is you 0:42:24.440 --> 0:42:27.360 know something that I wouldn't say that it's not he 0:42:28.120 --> 0:42:31.920 It's like he doesn't have a feel for where when 0:42:31.960 --> 0:42:35.440 he turns, what he's seeing, where the guys are behind him, 0:42:35.440 --> 0:42:37.879 and how he needs to You watch Layton Vanders play, 0:42:37.880 --> 0:42:41.399 I know Vandrush as a veteran like play drop turn 0:42:41.560 --> 0:42:44.880 look Carrie, you know, and Clark's a little bit of that. 0:42:45.440 --> 0:42:47.080 Oh now, I got to go all about the fact 0:42:47.080 --> 0:42:51.480 that he just has like he does. That's that's the problem. 0:42:51.640 --> 0:42:54.440 That's but he's getting reps and people like. But but 0:42:54.719 --> 0:42:57.960 now Barr is like kind of picked his game up 0:42:58.000 --> 0:43:00.799 a little bit since he's been out, so now it's 0:43:00.880 --> 0:43:02.719 kind of like, Okay, if you kind of split him, 0:43:02.760 --> 0:43:06.239 it's fine. But yeah, Clark cam Blitz, I don't think 0:43:06.320 --> 0:43:09.880 he has that. I don't think he's just more power. 0:43:10.160 --> 0:43:13.000 He's just gonna He doesn't have that that that wiggle 0:43:13.120 --> 0:43:16.360 what you want. When you watch Parsons rush, it's like 0:43:16.600 --> 0:43:19.359 he's got that power, but he's also got that little 0:43:19.400 --> 0:43:21.719 bit of that move to get you off balance and 0:43:21.840 --> 0:43:23.800 to get I think Clark is more of a straight 0:43:23.880 --> 0:43:26.160 ahead hope the back is on him and he could 0:43:26.200 --> 0:43:29.960 just overpower the back and get home. But yeah, you 0:43:30.040 --> 0:43:32.160 don't see him do it very much, that's for sure. 0:43:32.280 --> 0:43:36.120 I have a question actually from Nicker frisco um. Is 0:43:36.160 --> 0:43:39.319 this Layton vander Esh's best season. I'll tell you what. Yeah, 0:43:39.480 --> 0:43:42.680 he's better than his rookie years he was he was. Yeah, 0:43:42.719 --> 0:43:45.279 it's a Pro Bowl as rookie year. I will say 0:43:45.360 --> 0:43:48.399 this about him. In those games where it turns into 0:43:48.680 --> 0:43:51.120 you got to stop the back, they have nothing else 0:43:51.200 --> 0:43:55.239 but a runner he is. He's a champ. And I 0:43:55.360 --> 0:43:58.279 and I said about the coverage stuff, like when the 0:43:58.360 --> 0:44:01.000 ball has gone to the perimeter, he shown burst to 0:44:01.120 --> 0:44:03.000 get out there. Even when the ball's thrown out there, 0:44:03.080 --> 0:44:05.839 get burst and knocked the guy to keep it. Oh, 0:44:05.920 --> 0:44:08.440 now it's third and two or third and one. You know, 0:44:08.880 --> 0:44:11.880 he's tackled really, really well. I think early in the 0:44:11.960 --> 0:44:13.960 year with some of the perimitive runs that had, he 0:44:14.160 --> 0:44:16.520 was trying to make up for guys playing around him. 0:44:16.760 --> 0:44:18.719 You're like, you know, all, okay, I'm now trying to 0:44:18.760 --> 0:44:22.360 do my responsibility, your responsibility as we have a soft 0:44:22.400 --> 0:44:25.879 corner over here, you know. Okay. Finally overcame the neck 0:44:26.000 --> 0:44:29.920 injury because confident. Yeah, just the confidence. Yeah. I think 0:44:29.960 --> 0:44:32.800 even last year you would see him and it's just 0:44:33.480 --> 0:44:38.360 didn't he didn't have that willingness to actually go and tackle, 0:44:38.560 --> 0:44:40.800 like there was always like some kind of hesitation or 0:44:40.840 --> 0:44:44.719 a few steps behind. And now he seems like he's 0:44:44.760 --> 0:44:48.279 comfortable again to maybe where the neck is in his 0:44:48.440 --> 0:44:52.120 mind not necessarily physically bothering him, but also mentally where 0:44:52.160 --> 0:44:54.800 he can just play freely around. You mentioned that you 0:44:54.880 --> 0:44:56.600 mentioned about him. It was funny last week in the 0:44:56.680 --> 0:44:59.440 game him at Clark, like and this is how well 0:44:59.520 --> 0:45:02.319 vanders just playing though Clark both of them see at 0:45:02.360 --> 0:45:04.440 the same time. But you see the young guy just 0:45:04.760 --> 0:45:08.280 run right past. Layton's hustling to get over, but Clark 0:45:08.640 --> 0:45:12.279 like covers like like five yards behind, and now he's 0:45:12.320 --> 0:45:14.399 covering to go get the ball. Layton would have made 0:45:14.440 --> 0:45:17.000 the play, Clark just read at the same time and 0:45:17.120 --> 0:45:19.600 went to him. So you know, that's what that's what 0:45:19.680 --> 0:45:23.000 you're hoping that these linebackers continue to kind of play 0:45:23.080 --> 0:45:25.359 that way. The one thing I wonder about with that, though, 0:45:25.480 --> 0:45:27.640 is I do I don't think it's a coincidence that 0:45:27.719 --> 0:45:31.120 we've seen over the last few weeks Layton's play really elevate. 0:45:31.280 --> 0:45:33.799 And it's also at the time when Hankins was playing 0:45:33.880 --> 0:45:37.800 really well for the Cowboys. I wonder how much that's 0:45:37.840 --> 0:45:40.520 going to affect his ability to play because he's been free, 0:45:40.600 --> 0:45:43.319 he's been free to run because Hankins is gobbling up 0:45:43.360 --> 0:45:45.480 double teams, I mean just gobbling them up and not 0:45:45.719 --> 0:45:48.640 moving with it. If that changes and now you're washing 0:45:48.719 --> 0:45:52.080 out the defensive tackle and he's now in the lap 0:45:52.120 --> 0:45:54.880 of the linebacker, I just I think that's been one 0:45:54.920 --> 0:45:58.359 of the biggest challenges for Layton vanderbsh for much. Let's 0:45:58.440 --> 0:46:01.440 let's see what Anthony Rushed, who they signed on the 0:46:01.520 --> 0:46:03.279 practice squad in And I was talking to some guys 0:46:03.320 --> 0:46:05.080 around the league about him real quick as we finish 0:46:05.200 --> 0:46:07.600 up here. Uh, this guy's kind of had a weight 0:46:07.719 --> 0:46:10.239 problem in his life. You know, he's he gets up 0:46:10.360 --> 0:46:12.719 like three hundred and eighty and then he gets to 0:46:12.840 --> 0:46:15.520 three sixty and then now they're thinking he's like three 0:46:15.600 --> 0:46:18.000 hundred and fifty pounds. And I know two of my 0:46:18.080 --> 0:46:20.839 scout buddies are of like, listen, we worked him out 0:46:21.200 --> 0:46:24.680 before he went to Philadelphia, and they said that he 0:46:25.200 --> 0:46:28.560 really really is a powerful guy, and he could play 0:46:28.600 --> 0:46:31.520 the run really well. And he plays across the center. 0:46:31.520 --> 0:46:33.279 And when I mean play across the center, he's just 0:46:33.440 --> 0:46:35.719 not standing in one spot letting the grass die under 0:46:35.800 --> 0:46:38.319 his feet. He's moving and that's what Hankins has been 0:46:38.360 --> 0:46:41.480 able to do. Hankins has been like active to where 0:46:41.520 --> 0:46:44.680 he's moving around. So now he's taken up blocks and 0:46:44.880 --> 0:46:48.520 he's moving around. So maybe that with Rush, we'll see 0:46:48.520 --> 0:46:50.239 if they can get my guy. My guy said, listen, 0:46:50.360 --> 0:46:52.399 sign this guy, get him ramped up. He can help 0:46:52.480 --> 0:46:54.440 you out. This is a massive man. He's six to 0:46:54.520 --> 0:46:57.360 five they're hearing fifty pounds. Yeah, so, well he was 0:46:57.440 --> 0:46:59.479 three eighty one time. They said he was too heavy 0:46:59.480 --> 0:47:01.520 when they were working him out and they sent him away. 0:47:01.600 --> 0:47:04.280 That's why Philadelphia cut him off the practice squad because 0:47:04.280 --> 0:47:06.799 he got too heavy. And now he's down to three 0:47:06.960 --> 0:47:10.000 to three fifty from three eighty and they're hoping that 0:47:10.200 --> 0:47:13.120 But my guys were super super positive about him as 0:47:13.160 --> 0:47:15.760 a possible signing. It's a sad part about the Hankins 0:47:16.080 --> 0:47:18.320 injury is that, you know, they made that trade on 0:47:18.440 --> 0:47:23.320 October twenty fifth, nine days after they lost to the Eagles, 0:47:23.719 --> 0:47:25.320 and they couldn't stop the run in the middle of 0:47:25.360 --> 0:47:28.279 the field, you know, so they were bringing him in 0:47:28.640 --> 0:47:30.600 to try to help with that. You know, you stop 0:47:30.920 --> 0:47:33.319 Sanders and all that, and you guys go hit, hit, 0:47:33.440 --> 0:47:36.520 hurts and whatever he's doing. And they really wanted to 0:47:36.600 --> 0:47:38.640 control the middle. So not saying that they can't, but 0:47:39.080 --> 0:47:41.919 Hankins I think was brought in to try to help 0:47:42.080 --> 0:47:45.160 in that and he has. He has helped, but it's 0:47:45.239 --> 0:47:47.319 unfortunately won't play in that game. Yeah, that's what they 0:47:47.400 --> 0:47:49.200 needed him for. Yeah, maybe he comes back around for 0:47:49.239 --> 0:47:51.160 the playoffs if you have to face them again, all right, 0:47:51.160 --> 0:47:53.279 appreciate you guys. Jonas went back tomorrow. We're gonna wrap 0:47:53.360 --> 0:47:54.919 this thing up. Let you know what thing's gonna happen 0:47:54.960 --> 0:47:56.719 this weekend. So then for Nick Eatman, Brian brought us 0:47:56.719 --> 0:47:58.560 Amber Garcia. I'm Derek Eagles and this is The Break 0:47:58.719 --> 0:48:03.160 live on Dallas cowboy dot Com Radio.
