Honestly, as 0:01:33.840 --> 0:01:37.039 I don't know if I'm ready to get this over 0:01:37.319 --> 0:01:39.680 or if I want them to keep going. I'm just 0:01:39.800 --> 0:01:42.640 confused us to what I'm feeling right now. Well, it 0:01:42.720 --> 0:01:45.119 sounds like you're right there with all the other Cowboys 0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:48.000 fans out there, so let's jump right in. Let's start 0:01:48.000 --> 0:01:50.040 first talking about a couple of injuries. There were some 0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:53.080 guys that did not practice yesterday to Marcus Lawrence, shan Lee, 0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:58.720 Dak Prescott, and Tyren Smith. Are any of those injuries 0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:01.560 that you suspect will their abilities to play this week? 0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:03.880 Or is this one of those situations where again guys 0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:06.320 just missed practice sometimes yeah, well yeah, it's kind of 0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:08.919 affect their ability to play. I should have said that 0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:11.079 a different way. I mean, I should have said where 0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:13.160 they won't be able to play, because the next question 0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:16.040 they're gonna be how can they play? But yeah, go ahead, 0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:19.440 I would guess they'll all be able to play. I think, sorry, 0:02:19.440 --> 0:02:22.119 go ahead, And Nick, I just don't understand the dak 0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:27.040 part of it, you know, but I mean just like 0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:30.840 last I mean last week, he didn't practice, that didn't 0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:33.840 look good. I mean whether or not that helped his 0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:36.480 shoulder get through the week. Then they didn't put him 0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:37.920 on the injury report, and then he played, and he 0:02:37.919 --> 0:02:40.080 played like a guy that didn't practice, or he played 0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:42.200 like a guy that had a shoulder injury or both. 0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:44.880 And now this week this is kind of the same plan. 0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:47.280 And I don't know, like it's just weird that now 0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:48.720 all of a sudden he's back on it again. Did 0:02:48.720 --> 0:02:51.920 he get hurt again? That's so strange. It's a great point. 0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:55.120 That's I said earlier today, Like it felt kind of 0:02:55.160 --> 0:02:57.119 cocky to me in the first place that they did 0:02:57.160 --> 0:03:01.440 that last week, Like oh question ar orderback question, you know, 0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:03.880 his availability or his effectiveness, We're not even going to 0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:06.760 list him on Friday. Well he sure looked like he 0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:09.880 should have been listed on Sunday. And then writing on Monday, 0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:12.200 you right back on right, which is why, like I 0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:16.000 you know, people kind of it's so funny to me, 0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:18.800 like there's this dichotomy of people that are like like 0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:21.280 Deck didn't get any help and he was hurt like 0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:23.239 how you're gonna dog him after that? And then there's 0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:25.320 other people that are like I've been telling you for years, 0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:27.239 he's trash, Like it always has to be one of 0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:30.840 those two things, right, Whereas but I'm like, he didn't 0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:34.160 play well and I know he's hurt, But if you 0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:37.000 didn't even list him on Friday, well, how much benefit 0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:38.640 of the doubt should I give him? Like you didn't 0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:40.360 think it was a big deal Friday, so why should 0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:42.040 I think it's a big deal on Sunday. Well, they 0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:44.560 clearly did not help him at all as far as 0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:47.680 the game plan. They did not plan the game. According 0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:51.160 to a guy that's hurt on the shoulder, his quarterback 0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:54.920 has been hurt all week and it didn't seem like 0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:57.760 the game plan was fitting to that. They should have 0:03:57.800 --> 0:04:00.200 rent the ball a lot more. Yeah, I mean you've 0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:04.600 seen Home Alone, right, you've seen it. I have most times. 0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:06.600 You know, where the guy goes in and at the 0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:08.400 very end of this movie, and here they are, they're 0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:10.200 finally going to get this kid, and he like opens 0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:12.600 the door and it's like flaming hot. You know, that's 0:04:12.640 --> 0:04:14.280 one of the twelve things, And all of a sudden 0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:16.279 he goes in. Well, then the next door he opens, 0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:18.479 He's like, is this hot? Now? Okay? This was good? 0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:21.320 Like he understands that, like already have been burned before. 0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:24.560 He's learning, he's learning. Why aren't we learning? Like? Why 0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:27.560 are we just saying did you come up with that 0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:32.440 on my Christmas? Even I saw it was on yesterday, 0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:35.400 and you know, and and I didn't realize there was 0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:37.760 a sequel in another I didn't realize that. You know, 0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:40.000 only Rocky can get away with just keep putting out 0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:42.960 the sequels, but or Star Wars. Okay, let's not getting 0:04:42.960 --> 0:04:46.240 into that again, saying I was really just transitioning to 0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:48.920 Star Wars, which day I I, we don't have enough 0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:52.359 time for me to hire Star Wars. It's just learning 0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:54.359 from your mistakes, you know, That's all that it is. 0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:56.800 And so I just don't understand why you would do 0:04:56.839 --> 0:04:58.800 that again. Maybe he does need to practice kind of 0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:01.320 go through it or whatever. And like you said, there 0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:04.719 was no injury and then now there's an injury. Yeah. 0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:07.679 At the same time, though, I mean, don't you hinder 0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:10.240 whatever effectiveness he's going to have by making him throw 0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:12.960 all week? Well, but here's the thing, man, which you're 0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:15.279 so you're saying the answer is to let to prepare 0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:18.200 Cooper Rush to start. No, No, I'm just saying I 0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:20.039 think he needs to play a little bit more. But 0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:22.360 it's like it's almost like we're playing extremes here. Either 0:05:22.400 --> 0:05:24.200 he doesn't practice at all or he has to take 0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:27.039 every throw. Isn't there maybe some gray area here where 0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:29.520 maybe he can work into team a little bit where 0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:32.120 he can get a couple a couple of plays during 0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:34.359 the week that helps him kind of, I don't know, 0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:36.560 maybe maybe he needs it to visualize it, to be 0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:39.160 able to actually stand back there in the pocket and 0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:41.480 look at what he's gonna see on game day. Because, 0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:43.920 like I think we all agree, what we saw this 0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:46.240 last week was reflective of a guy that didn't look 0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:49.839 like he was playing at his best. So the difference 0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:52.400 there was that he didn't practice all week. So if 0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:54.679 you can get him into some reps here in practice 0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:56.560 this week, then that would make sense. Now, if he's 0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:59.000 so hurt that he can't do that, then again then 0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:01.920 you question, well, why was he not on the injury 0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:04.039 port on Friday? Right, So it's all of it just 0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:06.480 doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense. Thing 0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:08.320 for me, like if he's hurt, he's hurt, like just 0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:10.200 just say just say that, just say he's hurt and 0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:13.640 all that. But there's there's Jason Garrett trying to say, 0:06:13.760 --> 0:06:15.400 you know, he's probably trying to throw out there with 0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:18.040 the Redskins or I don't think Bill Callahan cares right 0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:21.040 now about you know, like Wat's coaching for a job. Well, 0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:22.760 I know, but I don't think he can have Dak's play. 0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:25.680 You know, those those coaches are like, he's playing. I mean, 0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:28.440 he's gonna right, he's gonna play in the game, and 0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:32.200 that I don't know. I kind of if they want, sorry, 0:06:32.240 --> 0:06:34.120 they need to sign Clayton Thorson, if they really want 0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:35.840 to play this thing up, they need to sign him 0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:37.320 and be like, all right, well let's just make sure 0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:39.320 ramp three quarterbacks ready for the game. It's kind of 0:06:39.360 --> 0:06:41.920 like a go ahead. I was just gonna say, It's 0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:44.800 not like if Dak was not gonna play or had 0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:46.960 a bad game or has a bad game, I mean 0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:50.800 this weekend and they put in whoever, clay or Cooper, 0:06:50.920 --> 0:06:53.160 that's not gonna be like, oh my god, oh we 0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:55.599 gotta change this game plane. This is really gonna throw 0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:59.000 us off. No, they're they're gonna be okay, Like it's 0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:02.840 a big diff prince there between her Dak and these 0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:06.200 other backups. I just kind of it kind of reminds 0:07:06.200 --> 0:07:09.479 me of the like you should have been practicing outdoors 0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:11.320 and that would have made all the difference. And I'm 0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:15.200 just like it would it have helped? Sure? Is Like 0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:18.000 should a professional football team be able to overcome that? 0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:20.480 I think so, Like, of course it's better if Dak 0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:23.760 is practicing, But hasn't he been throwing dozens of passes 0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:26.600 a day since like at least April, if not before that, 0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:30.040 Like would it help him? Of course? But you're a 0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:33.280 professional quarterback and one that's angling for a mighty big 0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:37.320 pay raise at that, So just go out and make 0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:39.360 the throws, Like, if you're good, if you're healthy enough 0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:42.160 to play, go out and make the throws. Which I'll 0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:45.040 keep saying, like I don't have a problem with the 0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:47.640 way they played the Eagles, Like the plays were there 0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:49.760 to be made and it wasn't all on deck. It 0:07:49.840 --> 0:07:52.320 was not it was Cooper, it was Gallop, it was Witten, 0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:55.160 it was everybody couldn't catch the stuff that he was 0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:58.080 putting on target, and he couldn't put the other stuff 0:07:58.080 --> 0:08:01.280 on target. It was everybody's fault. But the game plan 0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:05.120 would have worked if it executed it. Yeah, I believe that. 0:08:05.200 --> 0:08:07.840 I'm sorry. Yeah, but offensively I think so. Yeah, But 0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:10.440 like if your quarterback isn't good enough to execute it, 0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:13.320 then it's not a good game plan. But again, but 0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:16.880 I mean, first of all, that falls on everybody. You know, 0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:19.200 how many how many more yards and points do they 0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:21.960 have if those six drops get caught because some of 0:08:22.000 --> 0:08:24.360 them were big gainers. Yeah, and then there's I mean 0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:27.560 there's the overthrow to Tavon, YadA, YadA, YadA. I I 0:08:27.880 --> 0:08:30.880 hear what you're saying, But I just I don't like 0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:32.880 the idea of running into a brick wall for the 0:08:32.920 --> 0:08:35.680 sake of it. I mean, yeah, I mean, if Dak 0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:37.760 said he got up on Thursday and he's like, I'll 0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:39.520 be fine. I dealt with way worse stuff than this 0:08:39.600 --> 0:08:42.160 in college, Well, then go make the place right exactly. 0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:44.240 I mean, that's all there is to it, in my opinion. 0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:46.320 Does he need three hundred and five yards to help 0:08:46.440 --> 0:08:49.199 himself with them? With its contract? You know, if he 0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:52.720 gets about I think that breaks Romo's record of forty 0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:54.520 nine hundred yards which he got. I don't know. It 0:08:54.520 --> 0:08:56.640 didn't matters for his contract, do you well. I mean 0:08:56.679 --> 0:08:58.800 it's nice to have. I mean, you know, because they're 0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:01.240 going to throw record and stuff, like they're gonna throw 0:09:01.320 --> 0:09:03.760 his record in there. They just gonna throw it out there, 0:09:03.760 --> 0:09:05.400 no matter what, whether he gets that record or not, 0:09:05.440 --> 0:09:06.880 he's gonna say he was right there on the record. 0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:09.120 If he doesn't, you know whose record he's gonna break. 0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:12.560 His Romo in twenty twelve eight and eight eton eight 0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:15.000 lost to the Redskins last game in the season to 0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:18.360 get to eight, which ironic, and it's it's whether it's 0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:20.520 fair or not. It's gonna happen like this Eagles game 0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:23.839 is gonna color his contract negotiations. It's gonna be one 0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:27.480 of the lasting flashpoints from the season. I'll be curious 0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:29.320 to see how much it affects it, because if I 0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:32.800 remember right, they signed Romo to a huge extension after 0:09:32.800 --> 0:09:36.480 in eight and eight season two. Probably it's twenty twelve 0:09:36.559 --> 0:09:39.839 season after he was he signed it the month before 0:09:39.880 --> 0:09:42.760 I got here. I remember that, and they went eight 0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:45.120 and eate. He threw a terrible pick against the Redskins 0:09:45.160 --> 0:09:47.120 to keep him from going to the playoffs. You know, 0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:49.600 still got his money. I watched that play this weekend, 0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:53.280 not as bad as I remember it. The guy made 0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:56.120 an outstanding play. He did. He faked him. I mean, 0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:57.880 he faked Romo out. He was like, I'm blitzing and 0:09:57.880 --> 0:09:59.480 I'm blitzing, and then he faked it and came back 0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:02.280 in Romo. I mean, he gambled and he won on 0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:05.120 that plane. But I mean that bad loss. They should 0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:06.400 have won. Well, I don't know if I should have 0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:08.360 won the game, but I'm just saying it was a tough, 0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:11.320 tough way to end. But I think the point is 0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:15.520 is that, you know, his stats look good with passing yards, decks, 0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:18.920 but that's really it. I mean, his touchdowns are okay. 0:10:18.960 --> 0:10:22.079 His rating is right there, you know, and kind of 0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:24.720 an average. I mean it's it's above average. It's just 0:10:24.760 --> 0:10:27.520 like in the top fifteen or so. His teams like 0:10:27.640 --> 0:10:31.880 ranked what sixteenth right now, and just overall about it, 0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:33.559 you know, the middle of the pack. I mean, his 0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:36.800 passing yards look good, but if they could have established 0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:39.040 things earlier, they would have been leading these games and 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:40.840 running the ball. But I think that's that's where it 0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:42.760 gets back to in my opinion, I don't know that 0:10:42.800 --> 0:10:46.440 he's helped or hurt his cause necessarily when it comes 0:10:46.440 --> 0:10:48.319 to the contract. I think where he was at the 0:10:48.320 --> 0:10:51.160 beginning season, there's been some really good stuff where you 0:10:51.200 --> 0:10:53.320 were like, oh wow, maybe he jumped up, and then 0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:55.040 there's been some bass. I was like, oh well, maybe 0:10:55.080 --> 0:10:57.200 it fell back down. I think it probably ends up 0:10:57.240 --> 0:10:59.600 netting out around wherever the Cowboys were thinking they were 0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:02.360 going to pay him. He probably I think he took 0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:04.800 a step forward from where he was last year. But 0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:06.920 that all being said, you can make the argument very 0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:09.160 clearly that he hasn't. I mean, you started talking about 0:11:09.160 --> 0:11:12.120 fourth quarter comebacks, he's much he didn't play like that 0:11:12.160 --> 0:11:14.360 this year, and he did do that earlier in his career. 0:11:14.400 --> 0:11:17.000 So I think he took a step forward for what 0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:20.800 the agent and what their stance was. Their stance was 0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:22.960 to go for forty and up there, and I don't 0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:26.000 think so at all. I think that whatever the Cowboys opening, 0:11:26.520 --> 0:11:30.959 you know, whatever their their you know, cost was earlier, 0:11:31.000 --> 0:11:33.000 I think it's about yeah, no, no, no no. I wasn't 0:11:33.000 --> 0:11:34.720 saying he took a step forward for the money. I 0:11:34.760 --> 0:11:36.880 say I'm saying just from his strictly from his play, 0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:39.800 I think he was a little bit better quarterback than 0:11:39.840 --> 0:11:41.880 he was last year. Now that all being said, like 0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:43.240 I said, I think you can make a pretty good 0:11:43.320 --> 0:11:45.760 argument that he's not me personally what I've seen I 0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:48.800 suggested he is. I think he's a pretty good quarterback. 0:11:48.880 --> 0:11:52.559 I think he has shown signs that he is progressing. 0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:55.160 And if you're gonna pay him, it would be banking 0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:58.360 that that continues. I can't argue if you tell me 0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:00.760 he doesn't look like a quarterback who can like completely 0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:03.160 elevate his team. I can't really argue with you. He 0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:05.360 hasn't hadn't been able to do that this year. But 0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:08.640 I'm signing him because well, it's gonna be way too. 0:12:08.679 --> 0:12:10.960 It's gonna be it's gonna be so hard to try 0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:13.360 to start from the ground ground, you know, floor, to 0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:15.760 try to get back to that point he's there. Is 0:12:15.760 --> 0:12:18.760 he perfect? No, not at all, but he's good enough 0:12:18.800 --> 0:12:20.679 to get where they want to go. And I but 0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:22.920 here's and I completely agree with you. But that's the 0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:26.120 thing is like this should be easy, like the Cowboys 0:12:26.160 --> 0:12:28.719 should be like, we'll pay you one hundred thousand more 0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:32.080 than whatever Jared Goffcott and Dak says, yeah, that's fine, 0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:35.040 but will it be that easy, like one hundred thousand. 0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:37.200 I'm sorry, Yeah, I was thinking like, yeah, we'll put 0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:39.839 you right in that cluster with Winston guy. Yes, right, 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:41.559 and we'll give you more than them if it makes 0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:43.680 you feel better. Yeah, yeah, but we're not paying you 0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:46.559 Russ money and you're not going to compete with Mahomes. Yes, 0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:50.120 and that's fine. Will that actually happen? Like are the 0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:52.400 Cowboys gonna lowball him? Or is he gonna do this 0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:54.920 forty million dollar thing that keeps being rumored? Like, because 0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:57.400 that's where it gets dicey. It should be easy. You 0:12:57.440 --> 0:13:00.240 should be able to say we'll pay you to where 0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:03.520 you're top ten, and everybody should be happy. But I'll 0:13:03.559 --> 0:13:05.319 be curious to see if that actually happened. And that's 0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:06.880 actually what I'd like to see happen. And you look 0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:09.599 at the friend and the franchise tag broughly about thirty three, No, 0:13:09.720 --> 0:13:13.200 it's twenty eight. They stand just have a little bit 0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:16.120 of leverage there, right, yeah, but they yeah, and that's 0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:19.280 I don't I wonder if this will be more contentious 0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:21.600 this year than it was last time you franchise a guy. 0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:24.520 You're basically that's where you're starting, right, so you mean 0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:27.800 per year, so you which is good because at least 0:13:27.840 --> 0:13:30.760 you know they're probably gonna go more than twenty eight anyways, right, Which, 0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:32.640 But that's I guess that's my point is like I 0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:36.240 understand why Dak would be like insulted by a number 0:13:36.280 --> 0:13:39.600 like twenty eight, Like I get a year, yeah, per year. Yeah. 0:13:39.640 --> 0:13:42.440 I wonder why he really thinks his worth I don't know. 0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:45.240 And that's that's the question, because I also understand why 0:13:45.280 --> 0:13:47.880 the Cowboys would be insulted if Dak was like, no, 0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:50.800 like thirty eight to forty obviously and be like what 0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:53.920 why what did you do? Let's turn on the film 0:13:54.000 --> 0:13:56.600 so exactly, And that's my but he's like, let me 0:13:56.640 --> 0:14:00.559 pick the game, right right. Yeah. It's like it's very 0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:04.120 unusual when both sides are like, yeah, thirty three sounds good. 0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:06.080 Here you go, all right, happy to sign it, Like 0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:08.120 I just probably won't be that easy if I had 0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:10.040 to go. Maybe he wants to see what the direction 0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:11.800 of the team looks like, yes, And I mean that 0:14:11.880 --> 0:14:13.760 that could be fair. That could be fair. Like there's 0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:16.079 a lot of stuff that people are talking about right 0:14:16.080 --> 0:14:17.760 now with regards to whether what this team is going 0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:19.680 to be doing going forward, and so he may want 0:14:19.720 --> 0:14:21.480 to know more about that before he settles on a number. 0:14:21.480 --> 0:14:23.720 Maybe the Cowboys want to know what their new coach 0:14:23.840 --> 0:14:26.360 thinks about Dak as well. Maybe assuming they have a 0:14:26.400 --> 0:14:29.240 new coach, Yeah, they probably will. See all right, we're 0:14:29.280 --> 0:14:30.960 gonna take our first break when we come back. We 0:14:31.040 --> 0:14:33.080 got some questions already rolling in. But before we get 0:14:33.120 --> 0:14:35.840 to those questions, we're going to have our scatter report 0:14:35.840 --> 0:14:39.000 of the Washington Redskins offense and defense days.

At 0:16:48.520 --> 0:16:51.360 the start, we're talking about Cowboys versus Redskins. Happens this 0:16:51.440 --> 0:16:54.920 Sunday three, three thirty at at and T Stadium. Dave 0:16:55.080 --> 0:16:57.800 give us a scoutter report on the offense and defense 0:16:57.880 --> 0:17:02.600 for the Washington Redskins. Okay, quick, it's gonna be real quick, 0:17:02.880 --> 0:17:05.679 is it. Yeah, there's so much to talk about. No, honestly, 0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:07.240 you want to know what there is to talk about. 0:17:08.440 --> 0:17:11.480 Like name, name a player on the Redskins who you're 0:17:11.520 --> 0:17:18.040 familiar with. Out Anderson, he's in. Good job, good guys 0:17:18.280 --> 0:17:25.680 out I mean Haskins out written No, definitely out. He's 0:17:25.680 --> 0:17:30.960 like the point like this is honestly, like this is 0:17:31.000 --> 0:17:34.560 like when you know Arkansas knows that they're not going 0:17:34.600 --> 0:17:38.879 to a bowl game, and the red shirt Arkansas he's 0:17:38.920 --> 0:17:41.639 sitting across from because I know they did it. They're like, 0:17:41.880 --> 0:17:44.240 we're not going to a bowl our coach is gone. 0:17:44.240 --> 0:17:46.040 We're gonna get a look at these guys that are 0:17:46.160 --> 0:17:47.920 on the back end of the depth chart, because what's 0:17:47.920 --> 0:17:49.880 the point, Like, that's what this game is probably gonna 0:17:49.920 --> 0:17:53.040 look like for them, not necessarily because just because they're bad, 0:17:53.080 --> 0:17:58.440 but they're bad and hurt. Ruben Foster, Descheser, Everett, Vernon Davis, 0:17:58.800 --> 0:18:04.240 Jordan Reid, Darius Geis, Tray Quinn, Dominique, Rodgers, Cromarty, Alex Smith, obviously, 0:18:04.640 --> 0:18:11.960 Brandon shurf Um, Ryan Carrigan, Quentin Dunbar, Trent Williams, Paul Richardson. 0:18:12.280 --> 0:18:14.639 I just named like two thirds of the guys that 0:18:14.720 --> 0:18:17.520 you're familiar with on some defensive lineman though, don't they They 0:18:17.440 --> 0:18:20.679 They got Jonathan Allen, they got Darn Payne, they got Norman. 0:18:21.080 --> 0:18:23.840 Not everybody's hurt, but like the names that you have 0:18:23.960 --> 0:18:26.280 come to know in this matchup, were they all out? 0:18:26.400 --> 0:18:28.320 All those guys are on, not even just hurt, they're on. 0:18:28.440 --> 0:18:32.520 Irruten Gruden's been gone. Yeah, that's a good point. I 0:18:32.560 --> 0:18:34.520 didn't even think about that. Yeah, I mean we played 0:18:34.520 --> 0:18:36.760 them way back in week two. He got fired in 0:18:36.800 --> 0:18:40.360 like week six, so and Haskins is definitely out. Haskins 0:18:40.440 --> 0:18:44.080 is so so he's definitely I believe so stat I 0:18:44.160 --> 0:18:47.159 told you earlier. I think it's amazing because it's a 0:18:47.200 --> 0:18:50.120 division team. If if Haskins would have played this game, 0:18:50.160 --> 0:18:52.320 he would have been the fifth different quarterback to play 0:18:52.320 --> 0:18:55.800 against the Cowboys from the Redskins. Like, in what period 0:18:55.800 --> 0:18:58.520 of time the last five games? Oh, every game there's 0:18:58.560 --> 0:19:00.399 been a different quarterback going back to the end of 0:19:00.400 --> 0:19:03.240 the seventeen, which is Kurt Cousins. Then they played Alex Smith, 0:19:03.320 --> 0:19:06.080 then they played Colton McCoy, then they played Keenham, and 0:19:06.080 --> 0:19:07.920 then they were going to play Haskins. Yeah, and then 0:19:08.080 --> 0:19:10.760 Haskins got hurt and Keenham comes back. I mean, that's 0:19:10.840 --> 0:19:14.440 just that's not good. I shouldn't. I don't want to 0:19:14.480 --> 0:19:16.280 say this, but I'm going to anyway. But it goes 0:19:16.320 --> 0:19:18.359 back to the conversation. You know, you disagree with me 0:19:18.440 --> 0:19:20.600 last week, like for better or for worse. There's a 0:19:20.640 --> 0:19:22.720
