Welcome to another edition 0:00:34.720 --> 0:00:37.400 of The Break. We're locking the s WBC Mortgage studios 0:00:37.440 --> 0:00:39.600 at the Star. I've got a lot to get into today. 0:00:39.600 --> 0:00:42.160 We're gonna talk a little bit about Zeke Elliott and 0:00:42.640 --> 0:00:44.360 maybe the last time we have to talk about Zeke 0:00:44.400 --> 0:00:46.520 for a while. We'll catch you up on what's latest there. 0:00:47.040 --> 0:00:49.680 We'll also get into some injuries talk and some players 0:00:49.680 --> 0:00:53.240 at miss practice yesterday and the possibilities of them missing 0:00:53.280 --> 0:00:57.320 the game this week. Episode seventy seven. Huh is that 0:00:57.440 --> 0:01:03.480 fitting you know? Oh? Yeah? Yeah, good level? Yeah, I'm 0:01:03.480 --> 0:01:05.520 on year level now. Okay, And then we're gonna talk 0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:10.240 about the Philadelphia Philadelphia Eagle defense. Dave, I'm sure you 0:01:10.240 --> 0:01:12.800 have your scouttering report. Ready, Nick and Amber will catch 0:01:12.840 --> 0:01:15.080 you guys up on what they think are the most 0:01:15.160 --> 0:01:18.319 interesting things about this defense. Uh. And so we got 0:01:18.319 --> 0:01:19.640 a lot that we want to get into. Let's go 0:01:19.680 --> 0:01:23.320 ahead and jump right in and let's talk about Ezekiel Elliot. First. Um, 0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:27.840 yesterday we find out that he has decided to forego 0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:32.440 his appeal and has decided he's going to accept the 0:01:32.440 --> 0:01:35.960 the the the suspension, the sixth game to full six 0:01:36.040 --> 0:01:40.360 game suspension. Um it. I guess the question to you guys, 0:01:40.560 --> 0:01:42.640 I guess there's two parts of this question. One is 0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:45.559 do you think it's the right decision? And number two, 0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:48.280 do you think that maybe he should have done this 0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:50.840 back at the beginning of the season. Is it that 0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:53.400 simple to be able to say that for another person? 0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:56.120 What do you guys think? I don't know what's thinking. 0:01:56.240 --> 0:01:58.840 He hasn't had a press conference, so I don't know 0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:02.760 what he would what's the reasoning there? But it doesn't 0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:04.600 matter what he should have done because he didn't. I 0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:07.720 mean it's easy to say that to say, oh man, 0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:10.160 but who cares me? Six games and six games? Right? 0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:12.799 I mean, where would they be if he didn't play 0:02:12.840 --> 0:02:15.800 this first six games? So It's not like it's like, 0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:17.480 look what he did. I mean, they would have been 0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:19.120 in the same boat right now. They would have been 0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:22.320 one in five or two and four after six games. 0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:24.400 I think if he would have played those So, I mean, 0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:26.120 I don't think it really matters. He did what he 0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:27.880 needed to do, he was fighting for it. But why 0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:31.119 he dropped it now, I'm not really sure. I don't 0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:34.240 know who is sure about that. You could speculate. I mean, yeah, 0:02:34.280 --> 0:02:36.160 I guess you're right. I can't say with a certainty, 0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:40.280 but I it seared like he just, well, he's not 0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:44.480 gonna win. Like, I don't think he has had a 0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:47.960 legitimate shot of winning this thing. And even if he did, 0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:50.079 there's always the chance that it could be a Tom 0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:52.639 Brady situation where you win in twenty seventeen and then 0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:55.399 it's reinstated next year and now you really spent two 0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:58.920 years dealing with this, or it could even be expedited 0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:00.960 and if the Cowboys find the way into the playoffs, 0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:04.960 you talk about him missing playoff games. So given the 0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:08.000 odds against him and what it could mean going down 0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:10.080 the line, I think he's just like, let's just you know, 0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:12.000 we did what we could. Let's call it a day 0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:14.919 and just get this thing behind us, and they can, 0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:17.120 I mean, they can still pursue this in court, right 0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:19.680 whether or not they're pursuing, Well, it sounds like he 0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:22.359 dropped the appeal, in which case it sounds like he's 0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:26.280 dropped his whatever case he's had, he's dropped it at 0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:29.000 this point, and so there really is no more court 0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:31.880 case at this point. The way I understand it, I yeah, 0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:34.960 I can still sue them. That's that's what he could 0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:37.040 pick up another case and basically sue that. That's what 0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:39.840 I meant, like, you can still sue the league without 0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:42.800 it being a matter of missing games and injunctions and 0:03:42.840 --> 0:03:45.760 all that stuff. So I guess that remains to be seen. 0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:48.200 Probably depends on if he wants to pay the legal fees, 0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:50.800 and that's probably part of it too. In all honesty, 0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:53.520 I mean, this is I can't even imagine how much 0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:55.200 money this is gonna call and just clear that up. 0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:56.920 I know that there have been some people who hit 0:03:56.920 --> 0:03:59.040 me up on Twitter and like, no, the NFLPA is 0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:01.200 paying for that. Nick. I know you tell me you've 0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:03.680 talked to some people around the building, and I think 0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:06.800 what I think what happened is is like, yes, they 0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:09.680 will appoint you a lawyer. NFLPA appoints a lawyer to 0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:14.080 you and attorneys for all this. But to handle a 0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:17.080 case like this, you know, you've got a lawyer up 0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:19.600 and I think what he's because he's got more than 0:04:19.680 --> 0:04:23.120 one and so he's having he's having to pay for 0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:25.440 on top of that. You know, yeah, they'll give you 0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:27.080 the guy down the street back kind of like having 0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:29.680 a public defender or getting somebody. Ye have the right 0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:32.960 to an attorney. But yeah, I want Kessler. I mean 0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:36.240 he didn't want any NFLPA is like a little bit 0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:39.880 outside the budget. Yeah, he didn't want Jim Adler, the 0:04:39.920 --> 0:04:42.880 Texas hammer here. What's wrong with Jim Adler? I don't know. 0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:45.880 But no, I killed Jim Adler. Maybe he's a Cowboys fan. 0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:47.919 I want to I'm sorry, Jim. No. I want to 0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:49.720 talk about that though, because that's you know, that's an 0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:52.120 argument that we've been having back and forth this whole time, 0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:56.000 and I you know, I firmly believe that this thing 0:04:56.040 --> 0:04:58.120 didn't go Zeke's way. He gave it a hell of 0:04:58.160 --> 0:05:00.920 an effort. That doesn't make him wrong for doing it. 0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:03.440 I agree, And we don't have to go over the 0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:05.400 whole thing over again. We've talked about I mean, this 0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:09.160 is your reputation on the line, this is your your 0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:12.480 livelihood at your legacy, whatever you want to call it. 0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:16.320 And calling this thing off is not an admission of guilt, 0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:18.480 just like his just like his statement said, I mean, 0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:22.200 you can you can maintain your innocence and still see 0:05:22.240 --> 0:05:24.719 the writing on the wall that really all you're probably 0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:27.440 gonna do is hurt yourself and the organization going forward. 0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:29.719 I don't think it's an admission of guilt. I don't 0:05:29.760 --> 0:05:32.159 think that means it was wrong to try. You just 0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:35.200 sometimes you lose in life, and that's what this is. 0:05:35.279 --> 0:05:37.440 I mean. And the other thing to consider here here 0:05:37.520 --> 0:05:39.919 is and again we're speculating here, so I want to 0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:42.599 be clear, this is speculation, but this could have been 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:45.160 a situation where, you know, Zeke is like I want 0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:47.600 to get away. You know, it's it's been publicized that 0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:50.120 he left the country. Maybe he's like, look, I want 0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:52.560 to get away and I just want to clear my mind. 0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:54.640 I just want to kind of not think about all 0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:57.839 the extra drama of what all is going on. And 0:05:57.920 --> 0:05:59.720 if this is still going on, he's still going to 0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:01.920 have to be having conversations with his attorneys. He's still 0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:03.960 gonna have to be so he can't really get away. 0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:06.240 He can get away, but he still has to have 0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:09.360 those phone calls and those conversations and strategy sessions and 0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:12.480 whatever else goes into it when you're fighting a big 0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:15.360 legal battle like this. So maybe he just said, Look, 0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:17.600 by the time this would all be done, I'm gonna 0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:21.360 have served most of the suspension anyway, So why spend 0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:26.680 that time in court, in strategy sessions and talking to attorneys. 0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:29.280 I just want to get away from this, clear my head, 0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:33.559 allow myself to refocus, and maybe, just you know, maybe 0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:35.240 just maybe I can come out of this, you know, 0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:37.080 a little better off than I am right now. And 0:06:37.560 --> 0:06:39.640 I think that's a noble thing too. You're right, Dave. 0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:42.640 David doesn't say that he's admitting that he's guilty, but 0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:44.320 he fought as much as he could, and I think 0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:46.320 it got to a point where it's like he can't 0:06:46.360 --> 0:06:49.280 win this in a reasonable right. Agree. I mean, you 0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:52.120 could fight this for the rest of your life, probably, 0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:53.839 but like I said, at some point, you can see 0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:57.400 the writing on the wall. And for the third time, 0:06:57.520 --> 0:06:59.440 I don't I don't think that means it was wrong 0:06:59.720 --> 0:07:03.599 to try. But I'm sure somebody disagrees because hindsight's always 0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:08.120 twenty twenty. Yeah, But I mean the point is is that, Okay, 0:07:08.160 --> 0:07:10.480 what if he would have what if he didn't fight this. 0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:12.520 It's not like he's still not going to get the 0:07:12.560 --> 0:07:14.720 six games. I'm looking at the schedule right now. I mean, 0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:17.840 what would it have been. I mean, I don't know 0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:19.960 if they beat the Giants in the first game without him. 0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:22.040 You know, you can say all you want to about 0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:24.880 the Giants not being very good right now or being awful, 0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:28.560 but they weren't awful really in that game. So, I 0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:31.440 mean only scored three points. Her offense was pretty bad. Yeah, 0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:33.760 their offense was bad, but the Cowboys weren't very good. 0:07:34.440 --> 0:07:39.320 I mean the Cowboys, it's so so I don't know 0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:40.800 if they could have won that game. I don't think 0:07:40.840 --> 0:07:43.640 they beat the Cardinals either, So I mean, who knows 0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:47.200 what happens without him? And so, But if that's the case, 0:07:47.440 --> 0:07:50.400 and I'm not meaning to kind of push this conversation aside, 0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:52.320 but if you don't think they would have won the 0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:54.680 game against the Giants or the Cardinals, I'm not sure. 0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:57.120 I mean, okay, but but but if that's the case, 0:07:57.520 --> 0:07:59.720 then you certainly don't think they're gonna beat the Eagles 0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:03.240 without at him, or the Redskins again without him, or 0:08:03.720 --> 0:08:05.680 like name any one of these games they got again 0:08:05.840 --> 0:08:07.640 done until he can. Are we going there now? No? 0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:09.560 I'm just asking, yeah, is that what you're saying is 0:08:09.560 --> 0:08:11.560 that you just don't think they have as much of 0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:14.560 a cancer in these games without think My point is 0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:16.720 is that should you know? And the next show will 0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:20.760 will definitely hit this. You should have done this earlier? Why? Like? 0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:24.360 Why why earlier? What does that really do? What does 0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:27.040 that change? And how much are you benefiting from that? 0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:29.560 I don't know. I mean, what would have done just 0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:31.600 because you don't want to deal with it now and 0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:33.240 you wanted to just get it out of the way. 0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:36.080 I mean, he had to do what he had to do, right, Yeah, No, 0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:38.440 And I think we all agree. I think we all 0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:40.880 agree that, first of all, it's not any of our 0:08:40.960 --> 0:08:43.200 business to say what this man should do about his 0:08:43.320 --> 0:08:46.280 life and his reputation. But if he chooses to do that, 0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:48.079 he has every right to do it, and he should 0:08:48.080 --> 0:08:50.160 have done it because that's his right to be able 0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:52.520 to fight that in court if he has that opportunity 0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:55.600 and that that part's way more important. But the other 0:08:55.640 --> 0:08:57.920 part of that is, yeah, like who on earth knows 0:08:57.920 --> 0:09:00.280 where they'd be there nine games if he could sat 0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:03.080 out through the first six weeks. I don't know, but 0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:05.680 you might be sitting where the Giants are. I doubt 0:09:05.679 --> 0:09:07.400 it would be that bad, But I don't know for 0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:09.680 sure that you'd be above five hundred right now. Yeah, 0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:14.280 especially the way he was playing like the I mean, yeah, 0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:16.600 you get my point, Yeah, I got you. No, not 0:09:16.640 --> 0:09:19.319 only that, not only do is it probably a two 0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:22.720 and four, but they go to Washington and they probably 0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:24.839 don't win that game because as great as he was 0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:26.840 in that game, there's no way he's just gonna come 0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:30.560 right in being rusty for being out for seven weeks 0:09:31.040 --> 0:09:34.000 and come in there and help you, I mean help 0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:36.080 you to that. And remember, in training camp he doesn't 0:09:36.080 --> 0:09:37.599 do a whole lot of work, So I mean, I 0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:39.839 shouldn't say in training camp during preseason he doesn't do 0:09:39.880 --> 0:09:43.360 a whole lot of work. So it's who I think 0:09:43.360 --> 0:09:45.800 we kind of touched on this yesterday, like people refuse 0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:49.640 to accept that in in the sports world, like there 0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:52.839 always has to be a reason why what you did 0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:54.839 was wrong. Like, sometimes you can do the right thing 0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:56.560 for the right reasons and it doesn't work out for you, 0:09:56.640 --> 0:09:59.480 Like that's life. Then you don't always have to go 0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:02.520 back and penn blame on something that like just explains it, 0:10:02.600 --> 0:10:04.679 like here's why this was a mistake, Here's where they 0:10:04.720 --> 0:10:09.520 went wrong. Like sometimes stuff just doesn't go your way. Wow, 0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:11.600 I'm gonna sound like Jason Garrett, like how you respond 0:10:11.600 --> 0:10:14.520 to that adversity is what really counts. So life lessons 0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:19.080 with David Hill, I just cut that whole little segment 0:10:19.080 --> 0:10:21.360 and just make that a make that a life lessons 0:10:21.360 --> 0:10:23.920 with David Helman. That was awesome. Deep thoughts with Dave. 0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:26.800 All right, let's get into the injury talk. There were 0:10:27.080 --> 0:10:30.679 quite a few guys that miss practice yesterday. Here are 0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:32.760 the guys that did not practice. Dan Bailey with a 0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:35.880 groin injury, Does Bryan with a knee injury, Jeff Heath 0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:39.680 in the concussion protocol, Sean Lee with a hamstring injury, 0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:43.920 and Tyren Smith with back and groin problems. What are 0:10:43.960 --> 0:10:46.080 we hearing right now about those guys? And really the 0:10:46.080 --> 0:10:47.920 guy one account of zero in a little bit is 0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:50.400 Dan Bailey. Is it starting to get to a point 0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:52.160 where you can at least start asking a question, is 0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:54.320 it possible he plays this week or is it still 0:10:54.440 --> 0:10:58.200 a few weeks off here? I think he's still Jason 0:10:58.240 --> 0:11:01.320 Garrett said on Monday when he did his radio interview 0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:04.040 like first thing in the morning, that it's probably still 0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:07.120 a no go for Dan. That's I mean, it's a 0:11:07.120 --> 0:11:10.000 groin strain. We're talking about Tyrn maybe missing his second 0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:14.120 consecutive game with a groin strain. Dan Bailey's everything is 0:11:14.160 --> 0:11:18.200 on those you know, those muscles. So what would this 0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:19.960 be now he's been out how many games? Now? You 0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:24.520 got hurt Washan Francisco, so Washington. Dent's been there for 0:11:24.600 --> 0:11:29.520 three Okay, this will be Nugent's fourth game. Yeah, And 0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:32.400 Steven said, I guess when it first happened. He said 0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:34.480 four weeks was kind of what think? Yeah, and they 0:11:34.480 --> 0:11:37.719 said Thanksgiving? So I think that, you know, realistically, he 0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:41.160 could play against the Red against the Chargers and Thanksgiving, 0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:46.960 but made redskins probably makes more sense. Yeah, circle, Yeah, 0:11:47.000 --> 0:11:52.200 I'm circling November or December first, whatever that it is yet. Yeah, 0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:55.360 thank you. Okay, what are we hearing about Jeff Heath 0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:57.480 and what are the contingencies in the event that Jeff 0:11:57.520 --> 0:12:01.800 Heath doesn't play, so the party music for the fans. 0:12:03.480 --> 0:12:06.960 I thought I thought about that yesterday because concussions are 0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:09.199 always I mean, you can't really predict him. I mean, 0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:12.200 some guys play the next week. Some guys missed twelve, 0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:14.600 Like some guys plays play with less than a week. Yeah, 0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:19.920 Philip rivers Well, Ron Leary, Philip rivers Um. Jeff came 0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:22.360 out to practice yesterday like he was just in sweats. 0:12:22.400 --> 0:12:24.439 But I mean I was like, well, you're outside watching 0:12:24.480 --> 0:12:26.440 I sit in a dark room, right, good thing, that 0:12:26.480 --> 0:12:30.040 seems good, But you know you just like you kind 0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:32.880 of operate on intuition. I sort of get the feeling, 0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:36.000 maybe he doesn't play this week and then que up 0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:38.000 the X man. I mean, I think he's probably the 0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:39.720 first guy to get a crack at it. Now. They 0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:42.160 like to they like to roadsate guys. It's a safety position. 0:12:42.200 --> 0:12:44.640 Does that mean Cheeto's back and Cheetos now the third 0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:47.520 safety or I can't imagine more frazier or what are 0:12:47.520 --> 0:12:50.360 we thinking if Jeff's If Jeff sits, I can't imagine 0:12:50.360 --> 0:12:52.880 that Cheeto will too. Like he's fully healthy. He was 0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:55.720 a healthy scratch last week, So I can't imagine that 0:12:55.760 --> 0:12:58.120 they sit him if if he's healthy and if jeff 0:12:58.120 --> 0:13:00.000 can't go, So I don't I don't think you would play. 0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:02.400 I'm in the starting lineup after a month of staying out. 0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:04.640 But I'm sure they'll find something for him to do. Hey, 0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:07.400 I'm not gonna be convinced that he's back until I 0:13:07.520 --> 0:13:14.080 hear in the press trying to be who don't know 0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:16.719 he's trying to when he when he says that, then 0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:20.920 I'm like, you know what, I think that's Cheeto, Cheetos playing. 0:13:21.040 --> 0:13:24.520 He's playing. Until then, do I hear anything about chay 0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:29.680 to buy now? I would imagine it doesn't. It doesn't. 0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:32.439 There's a lot of things that don't make sense about that. 0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:36.160 If Jeffrey Heath is out, I would imagine Xavier Woods 0:13:36.800 --> 0:13:39.520 gets the nod and him and Cavan Frasier kind of 0:13:40.280 --> 0:13:43.040 tag team and Cheeto will be there somewhere, maybe like 0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:46.720 in Dime or Nickel. That's just my guess. Cheetos gonna 0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:50.000 play this weekend. I think you're right Amber for sure. 0:13:50.720 --> 0:13:54.959 All right, you've gone knit. Yeah, I've done my analysis 0:13:55.360 --> 0:14:00.240 in the locker room. Got some behind the scenes. Yeah, cool, cool, good. 0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:03.040 You heard it here first, Cheeto Bay or Chittaby, however 0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:05.320 you want to name him. We'll be playing this weekend. 0:14:05.320 --> 0:14:07.640 All right, let's move on one other thing. I want 0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:11.040 to hit up the tight end position. Rico Gathers is 0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:14.679 back to participating with the team, according to what Jason 0:14:14.720 --> 0:14:18.319 Garrett said in an earlier press conference this week. How 0:14:18.400 --> 0:14:21.200 much is he participating and how close is he now 0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:24.200 to getting back to possibly moving off of IR and 0:14:24.600 --> 0:14:28.000 maybe back onto the roster. I don't know, man, I 0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:32.040 don't know what's the I really don't know the rule 0:14:32.120 --> 0:14:34.160 on that of when he can do some things and 0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:37.120 what's the window of when they have to say, all right, 0:14:37.320 --> 0:14:41.480 when they put you back at practice, you have, I believe, 0:14:41.640 --> 0:14:44.200 three weeks to look at him and evaluate whether you're 0:14:44.200 --> 0:14:45.880 going to move him to the fifty three. Has he 0:14:45.920 --> 0:14:50.160 started practicing, Yeah, he's just attending some meetings. That meetings, 0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:53.120 Like Garrett said, he'd be out there on the field 0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:56.080 if he I mean, you know, when we go out there, 0:14:56.120 --> 0:14:59.479 you're looking for jerseys like like taking attendance, like okay, 0:14:59.680 --> 0:15:03.680 seven seven's not here, fifties not here, you know, and 0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:05.520 he wasn't wearing a jersey if he was out there 0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:08.720 like he's not. He's not practicing. He might be out 0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:11.720 there with the team, but he's not doing football stuff, 0:15:11.760 --> 0:15:15.160 which I just I've never I've never been around a 0:15:15.200 --> 0:15:17.520 situation like this in the time I've been doing this. 0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:19.520 I don't I don't know what to expect. I don't 0:15:19.520 --> 0:15:23.280 know when. And again, it's a concussion, so like I 0:15:23.320 --> 0:15:26.160 feel weird, and I don't want to speculate about his 0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:28.200 hell and be like, well, it's been X amount of weeks, 0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:31.280 he certainly can be doing something like that seems logical. 0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:34.600 I've never heard, you know, I brought this up back 0:15:34.600 --> 0:15:37.720 when it first happened, like Sidney Crosby dealt with concussion 0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:40.160 stuff for like months a couple of years ago, So like, 0:15:40.200 --> 0:15:43.160 I know it can happen, but it's typically an injury 0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:45.000 that takes a week or maybe two or three weeks 0:15:45.040 --> 0:15:47.960 to heal. So I don't know what to expect, and 0:15:48.040 --> 0:15:50.840 I'm just gonna let them figure it out. And when 0:15:50.840 --> 0:15:52.840 I see him out there in a helmet and a jersey, 0:15:52.920 --> 0:15:55.960 that's when I'll I'll write it down. I'll tweet that 0:15:56.000 --> 0:15:57.680 out for y'all as soon as I see it. Yeah, 0:15:57.760 --> 0:16:00.680 But that hasn't happened yet. All right, let's go ahead 0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:03.280 and do this. Let's take our final break. I'm sorry, 0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:05.520 our first break, our first break.

We're in the second 0:18:18.600 --> 0:18:20.720 segment of the Break live from the s WBC Mortgage 0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:24.680 studios at the Star. We're talking Cowboys versus Eagles. Dave 0:18:24.760 --> 0:18:27.640 you ready for your scoutter report on the Eagles defense. Sure, 0:18:27.960 --> 0:18:32.600 let's go M D line, D line, D line. That's 0:18:32.640 --> 0:18:36.160 really that's where this thing starts. Line to line to line. 0:18:36.520 --> 0:18:39.359 It's it's pretty impressive and when you watch them, it 0:18:39.400 --> 0:18:44.040 looks really impressive. So Vinny Curry, Timmy jern again good, good, 0:18:44.160 --> 0:18:48.200 Fletcher Cox good, Brandon Graham good. And then the second 0:18:48.280 --> 0:18:50.359 like I said this, I think I said this earlier 0:18:50.359 --> 0:18:52.679 in the week. The Cowboys rotate their D lineman. The 0:18:52.720 --> 0:18:56.600 Eagles do it too, but like better, like they got 0:18:56.920 --> 0:18:59.920 what wait because they're better players? Oh okay, get they're 0:19:00.320 --> 0:19:04.359 their second Their second string is Derek Barnett, fourteenth overall 0:19:04.359 --> 0:19:08.159 pick in the draft, bo Allen, veteran defensive tackle. The 0:19:08.200 --> 0:19:11.719 one week link is probably Destiny Vaio vyo second year 0:19:11.800 --> 0:19:15.440 guy that they guy named Destiny is his name is Destiny? Yes? 0:19:15.920 --> 0:19:19.760 And then Chris Long, who you know the Cowboys are like, no, 0:19:19.960 --> 0:19:21.800 we don't need him. Well, he helped the Pats win 0:19:21.840 --> 0:19:23.879 a Super Bowl. And now he's playing pretty well for Philly. 0:19:23.960 --> 0:19:27.120 So yeah, that's eight guys, and like they rotate him 0:19:27.160 --> 0:19:29.520 like I was charting it. You know, I watched two 0:19:29.600 --> 0:19:33.360 Philly games. I'm charting it, like every five to six plays, 0:19:33.359 --> 0:19:36.080 they like rotate, get the fresh guys in there, and 0:19:36.560 --> 0:19:38.840 the results are pretty similar. I mean, obviously your first 0:19:38.880 --> 0:19:42.680 strings better. But so I actually broke this down. This 0:19:42.760 --> 0:19:45.679
