Speaker 5: You put me on the spot.
Speaker 6: I did.
Speaker 5: I'm trying to get logged in for an eagle sound.
Speaker 5: Can you give me a uh? Well, we'll do some
Speaker 5: news and notes while while Beamer thinks of his favorite
Speaker 5: Let's go dude.
Speaker 11: Yeah, we guess. I was with the practice report from
Speaker 11: from Thursday. There's nothing too too much to look into here.
Speaker 11: We'll start with the Cowboys. It looks like Zach Martin
Speaker 11: is on the Tyron Smith practice plan. I wonder if he,
Speaker 11: like you know, once the principal was like, hey, I
Speaker 11: want to do that too, and it was working for him,
Speaker 11: it's working great. Yeah, it's working great for Tyron Smith,
Speaker 11: who Uh. I'll bring up something here in a minute
Speaker 11: about Tyron Smith and how dominant he's been this year.
Speaker 11: But yeah, so both of those guys were did not
Speaker 11: practices yesterday, but they were just for rest reasons. Rico
Speaker 11: Dawell remains limited with his ankle issue that's been bothering
Speaker 11: Hi for a few weeks. Peyton Henders shot was full. Uh,
Speaker 11: and then Matt will Let's Go, was a full practice
Speaker 11: participant for the first time since being off of.
Speaker 6: The i R.
Speaker 11: On the other side, for the Eagles, the main the
Speaker 11: main notes to to look at here, Fletcher Cox is
Speaker 11: a full participant with a groin injury that's updated from
Speaker 11: being limited on Wednesday. Dallas Goddard remains full with his
Speaker 11: fore arm injury, so it looks like he's gonna be
Speaker 11: ready to go on Sunday.
Speaker 8: I know.
Speaker 11: That's that's something that the defensive staff has been talking
Speaker 11: about this week.
Speaker 9: Dan Quinn has mentioned it a couple of times.
Speaker 11: Julio Jones did not practice with a groin Darius Slay
Speaker 11: did not practice with a knee injury. And yeah, that's
Speaker 11: that's the notables there Slay all day. Yeah, so Slay
Speaker 11: is mentioned here with rest slash knee. So I almost
Speaker 11: wonder like if it's like he's gonna play Sunday, but
Speaker 11: he's not.
Speaker 5: Exactly maybe, yeah, what about the one thing that stuck
Speaker 5: out to me is a positive one from the injury
Speaker 5: report for the Cowboys side.
Speaker 4: But Matt will let's go being full. We talked about yesterday.
Speaker 5: Just how much of an impact he could have from
Speaker 5: a depth standpoint, and Dallas hasn't had to use the
Speaker 5: depth lately, but with the seventeen game season, I mean,
Speaker 5: it's gonna happen at some point. That's kind of how
Speaker 5: it goes.
Speaker 8: He'll be down there either way, he'll be ready to
Speaker 8: he'll say, Matt, well let's go let's you know what
Speaker 8: I mean.
Speaker 5: I hope what he's saying. I think that'd be dope.
Speaker 5: That's big that he went, right. He went from designated
Speaker 5: to return to limited and then to full in two days.
Speaker 5: I mean, that's that's what the progress of events was.
Speaker 7: Listen, man, I've alay been able to speak from my experiences,
Speaker 7: but my experiences came from a long time ago. So
Speaker 7: medicine has come a long way. I mean, when I
Speaker 7: tore my achilles. That was back in two thousand and ten. Okay,
Speaker 7: that took me seven months to get back from a
Speaker 7: Aron is on the field two months later. So you know,
Speaker 7: science has come a long way. You know, technology has
Speaker 7: come a long way. So I hope that they have
Speaker 7: some other methods that I was not pevy to that
Speaker 7: he now has received in terms of treatment for and
Speaker 7: I hope that he's stronger than ever and he's able
Speaker 7: to go out there and again add to that depth
Speaker 7: and compete.
Speaker 8: But realistically, would you trust Aaron in the game right now?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 9: Heck no, no, No, that's what I'm I don't think
Speaker 9: he's going to come back. I know he's not.
Speaker 11: Just kind of like a thing like, oh I opened
Speaker 11: my practice window to show that I beat modern medicine.
Speaker 8: Oh no, medicine wins again.
Speaker 4: And then after twenty one days he's back.
Speaker 2: Guy.
Speaker 9: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 4: That that's probably a pretty good indication.
Speaker 5: This might be a loaded question, but if the medicine
Speaker 5: advancements were in your career what they are today, do
Speaker 5: you feel like you could have played a couple of
Speaker 5: extra years.
Speaker 11: Uh?
Speaker 7: No, Injuries weren't the reason why I stop. Probably, Yeah,
Speaker 7: my career would have still been there. I was tired
Speaker 7: of the politics, so that's why I shut it down.
Speaker 4: Okay, I was just curious. I didn't know if that
Speaker 4: played an impact, because I know you did have an extend.
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, I had a lot of injuries, but I
Speaker 7: was blessed to come back from all of them. Shout
Speaker 7: out to all the training staffs that had to deal
Speaker 7: with me every day. But but yeah, I mean, the
Speaker 7: guys are getting back quicker. There's there's you have so
Speaker 7: much more yea greater confidence now in guy and players
Speaker 7: abilities to come back from what we consider to be
Speaker 7: substantial injuries than ever before. And you hear a c
Speaker 7: L back in the back. When I was playing, a
Speaker 7: c L was a death, a death sentence. I mean,
Speaker 7: it was done right. You were I mean, you're hopeful
Speaker 7: to come back, but you know that you're never going
Speaker 7: to be the same. It's not the case anymore. Now
Speaker 7: it's a c L. It's like, ah, it's like a
Speaker 7: poor Hammy. He'll be back, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 7: Like it will be a pain but to get back from,
Speaker 7: but he'll he'll be back, ready to roll. I know,
Speaker 7: there's no question marks regarding will you come back to
Speaker 7: that level play again.
Speaker 11: Yeah. The biggest thing I think these days when it
Speaker 11: comes to an a c L injury, it's not physical,
Speaker 11: it's mental. Yeah, it's it's the it's that's the only
Speaker 11: that's the biggest problem that I feel like athletes have
Speaker 11: in today's It was still a problem when you were
Speaker 11: playing and when you know, Joe Montana was playing, but like,
Speaker 11: it's it's a bigger part, I think, just with the
Speaker 11: way medicine is progressed.
Speaker 7: And we talked about that in regards to Michael Gallup
Speaker 7: right when the Gallop first went down, you know, that
Speaker 7: was the first thing that I brought up. I was like, hey,
Speaker 7: he'll come back physically, it's the mental aspect that you're
Speaker 7: not sure and that they can't do anything about.
Speaker 6: That's that's all on him.
Speaker 9: Well you worry about that with all the acls on
Speaker 9: the team right now.
Speaker 8: What's funny about that is everyone that is sort of
Speaker 8: ready for tomorrow vonn overshown to show up next season
Speaker 8: and they're like, oh man, once he once he uh
Speaker 8: gets started next season, like it's going to go off,
Speaker 8: like he's going to be great. It's like, well, you
Speaker 8: have to consider that. You know, are is it the
Speaker 8: same player after this injury?
Speaker 7: You know, I mean the reason why, the same position
Speaker 7: group you had? Unfortunately an example before him in Jabrielle
Speaker 7: CrOx Right. So yeah, I'll have to ask that question.
Speaker 9: I'll be willing to bet overshow, and I'll be ready.
Speaker 9: I don't I don't have any doubt.
Speaker 8: I don't have any I think you got to give
Speaker 8: any player.
Speaker 5: I know the easy answer to this question would be
Speaker 5: Trayvon Diggs. But taking Trayvon Digs away is the Barbie
Speaker 5: and Over shown the biggest loss for this team defensively
Speaker 5: or I mean, and not even defensively, but just across
Speaker 5: the board from the injuries that they've sustained this year.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I guess it's between him and lv right. Yeah,
Speaker 11: and I don't know. I don't know just because we
Speaker 11: had we didn't see whatever, you know, I mean, we
Speaker 11: saw in that first preseason game him and By and
Speaker 11: Clark were flying all over the place. That was so
Speaker 11: much fun to watch. But that answer will probably be
Speaker 11: answered like this time next year. I got some stats.
Speaker 11: I'm gonna throw at y'all here so the Cowboys can
Speaker 11: clinch a playoff spot this week Wow, do y'all want
Speaker 11: to hear what needs to happen to happen?
Speaker 5: Of course, we got to.
Speaker 4: Make sure our listeners are the most.
Speaker 11: Yeah, get your notebook out, you're gonna need to write
Speaker 11: it all down. So win versus the Eagles has to happen.
Speaker 11: Detroit win versus the Bears, likely, a Seattle loss versus
Speaker 11: the forty nine Ers, likely a Tampa Bay loss versus
Speaker 11: the Falcons, a New Orleans loss versus the Panthers, or
Speaker 11: a Rams loss versus the Ravens.
Speaker 4: Okay, so that's better.
Speaker 11: Yep, Yeah, Minnesota loss versus the Raiders, and then a
Speaker 11: green Bay loss versus the Giants. So of those eight wow,
Speaker 11: of those eight.
Speaker 5: Matchups, green Bay has to lose to the Giants.
Speaker 11: Yes, of those eight matchups, five of those are favored.
Speaker 11: But notice how I had the ore in there. Only
Speaker 11: one of those needs to happen, the New Orleans loss
Speaker 11: or the Rams loss. So when you take that into account,
Speaker 11: five of the seven matchups are favored.
Speaker 9: So I'm saying there's a chance, there is a.
Speaker 7: Chance, there's a very probable until you say green Bay
Speaker 7: losing it to the Giants.
Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, that's the one. It's everything else is going
Speaker 11: to happen, and that's the one that's going to fall apart.
Speaker 8: Yeah, Green Bay decided to start playing football again.
Speaker 9: It's December.
Speaker 11: It's December, La Floor, It's uh, it's different up there
Speaker 11: on the north pole.
Speaker 5: Jordan Love looks like Brett Farbe's second coming all of
Speaker 5: a sudden. Yeah, he started to play really well. And
Speaker 5: I mean we all got that game wrong last week.
Speaker 5: We picked Chiefs and Packers and everybody picked Kansas City.
Speaker 12: The crazy stuff I saw it was the floor sixteen
Speaker 12: and zero in December.
Speaker 9: That's crazy.
Speaker 4: It's crazy crazy.
Speaker 5: Yeah, good luck Giants, Good luck Godspeed.
Speaker 11: A couple more stats to throw at you guys. This
Speaker 11: is some some next gen stat stuff. So I think
Speaker 11: there's a big play potential here in this game for
Speaker 11: Dak Prescott, specifically against his Eagles defense. So Dak Prescott
Speaker 11: on downfield passes, which is ten plus air yards, so
Speaker 11: the ball is going through the air at least ten yards, right.
Speaker 11: He has fifty three completions this year, that's first in
Speaker 11: the NFL. He has one thousand and eighty eight yards
Speaker 11: that's second in the NFL. He has fifteen touchdowns and
Speaker 11: zero interceptions. That's also first in the NFL. He's one
Speaker 11: hundred and forty six point three passer rating first in
Speaker 11: the NFL. So you could you could say Dak Prescott
Speaker 11: is the best downfield passer in the NFL this year.
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, a little bit right. The Eagles have.
Speaker 11: Allowed fifteen downfield passing touchdowns this season, that is the
Speaker 11: second worst in the NFL. So big play potential there, obviously,
Speaker 11: Ceedee Lamb is a big part of that. Brandon Cooks
Speaker 11: the downfield weapons that they do have. You know, it's
Speaker 11: not just Dak Prescott, but he's putting those guys in
Speaker 11: positions to make those plays. And we've seen that so
Speaker 11: far the season, and for sure especially in the last
Speaker 11: six or seven weeks.
Speaker 6: So shout out to the line.
Speaker 9: Yeah, shout out to the O line, which leads me
Speaker 9: into my next test.
Speaker 11: John that thing uh the Dallas Cowboys left side of
Speaker 11: the offensive line. So we're talking about Tyron Smith at
Speaker 11: left tackle and Tyler Smith at left guard. They've proven
Speaker 11: to be the best UH in the NFL, if not
Speaker 11: one of the best, if not the best. Tyler Smith
Speaker 11: so far this season, he's a four point six percent
Speaker 11: QB pressure rate that is first among all left guards
Speaker 11: in the NFL with at least two hundred and fifty snaps.
Speaker 11: Tyron Smith has a six percent QB pressure rate that
Speaker 11: is first among all left tackles in the NFL with
Speaker 11: at least two hundred fifty snaps. So that left side
Speaker 11: of that offensive line, man, it's been awesome. Ever since Tyrone,
Speaker 11: Ever since Tyron's gone on that little practice plan that
Speaker 11: he's been.
Speaker 9: Doing, he's been healthy. That's the healthiest he's been since
Speaker 9: like twenty sixteen.
Speaker 11: Martin seeing what now, yeah, yeah, one thousand percent. This
Speaker 11: is the healthiest he's been in a long time. So
Speaker 11: it's it's been great to see.
Speaker 7: So you're saying that Zach Martin is peaking across you know,
Speaker 7: Tyler beyond his like hey, hey, get some of that.
Speaker 9: That whole offensive line is just not gonna show up perds.
Speaker 6: I'm saying literally, I'd.
Speaker 4: Be okay with that. Yeah, maybe not, but not as much.
Speaker 4: Doesn't work like that.
Speaker 5: That's it for news and though.
Speaker 11: Well, the final thing, Mike McCarthy, I know we've been
Speaker 11: talking about that this week and his appendix surgery. The
Speaker 11: expectation is that he's back in the building today. We'll
Speaker 11: find out later on the conference call, but he was
Speaker 11: he was expected to be in today and everything is
Speaker 11: still looking good. As far as him being on the
Speaker 11: sideline on Sunday, Brian Schottenheimer said that he doesn't anticipate
Speaker 11: anything different, so it looks like he's making a quick
Speaker 11: little recovery and hey were ready to go on Sunday night.
Speaker 6: Dope.
Speaker 5: I love it.
Speaker 4: Lots of good news today.
Speaker 5: Knock on wood from.
Speaker 9: This from this, it's never a dull day around here.
Speaker 8: It's not.
Speaker 5: We've got a Friday to get to and then a
Speaker 5: big matchup on Sunday.
Speaker 4: By the way, from the three one seven, I love this.
Speaker 5: In South America, the harpy eagle takes monkeys out of
Speaker 5: trees and eats them whole.
Speaker 4: It's absolutely mass like just.
Speaker 9: Wallows whole monkey, didn't even chew it.
Speaker 6: Oh you gotta pick it.
Speaker 5: That things wild there.
Speaker 6: I love it, Thank you. I think, Josh is.
Speaker 8: What I was trying to do? Or is that one
Speaker 8: snoring guy? That's what sounds like.
Speaker 5: None of these eagles not.
Speaker 8: As impressive as they that guy, the one that you hear,
Speaker 8: you know, the one, what do you think abouts?
Speaker 5: As long as they're not Philadelphia Eagles. Every other Eagles
Speaker 5: may be kind of cool. But Philadelphia Eagles, Philly whatever.
Speaker 11: I used to like the war Eagle at Auburn. Now
Speaker 11: you completely ruined.
Speaker 8: School for their diet, the cheese whiz, you know what
Speaker 8: I mean.

Speaker 5: game name Cowboys and Eagles.
Speaker 4: Hussy Who's he?
Speaker 5: I don't even know. Eagles have a seven and oh
Speaker 5: record when he is calling the game as an official.
Speaker 5: They have about a four to one ratio advantage and
Speaker 5: calls going their way with this crew. This could be something.
Speaker 5: It could be absolutely nothing Dallas. By the way, Beamer,
Speaker 5: I believe you had the stat of moment ago they
Speaker 5: were sixteen and four with Hieen and four seventeen and four,
Speaker 5: so they've had success with him on the call of
Speaker 5: games before two but seven to Zho and a four
Speaker 5: to one advantage. Is this anything to be worried about?
Speaker 6: Who were these post something?
Speaker 7: I mean, that's I mean, have to asked that question, right, Yeah,
Speaker 7: it could be very well Eagles Panthers.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, it could be anybody.
Speaker 6: So I don't like to speculate.
Speaker 8: But you don't like to speculate.
Speaker 7: I don't like to speculate. I like to think that
Speaker 7: I like to think that our game is nice and fair.
Speaker 8: If you were to speculate if I were.
Speaker 7: If you were, I would have to do a little
Speaker 7: bit of a deeper dive to who those opponents were
Speaker 7: before I pass judgment.
Speaker 9: Okay, fair enough, Okay.
Speaker 8: I just think it's strange that the Eagles are able
Speaker 8: to wear two uniforms simultaneously on the field, and because
Speaker 8: you know, they have the Kelly green.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they've got the green uniform.
Speaker 8: And then they also have that black and white one.
Speaker 4: Yeah that's zebra stripes.
Speaker 8: Yeah, something like that.
Speaker 11: I'm just doing some research over here on Yeah, he's
Speaker 11: you dive into that hus.
Speaker 9: He's the CEO of all right, what's it's his name?
Speaker 11: He's the CEO of Cuddly dot com out and he
Speaker 11: uh say that one more timely, like it's exactly how
Speaker 11: the CEO of it and co founder of of Cuddly
Speaker 11: dot com.
Speaker 9: It helps animals and need around around the world.
Speaker 7: So yeah, like Eagles, African Eagles.
Speaker 11: Eagles potentially potentially. I don't think Cowboys or animals are they?
Speaker 6: So now we're getting closer.
Speaker 11: The last all the last game that he officiated in
Speaker 11: with the Eagles was a twenty six to seventeen win
Speaker 11: over the Cowboys.
Speaker 6: So that's Week.
Speaker 9: Six of what year was that? I guess it would
Speaker 9: have been twenty six, seventeen twenty six.
Speaker 11: Was that the the the Cooper.
Speaker 9: Rush game last year in Philadelphia?
Speaker 6: Yeah, something like that.
Speaker 5: But anyway, that's why they know that's the last Eagles
Speaker 5: game that he that he called though, yes, interesting, yes,
Speaker 5: apparently so it has been a little bit of time,
Speaker 5: you know, official, I don't really put a lot of
Speaker 5: stock into that.
Speaker 9: I do.
Speaker 11: It does remind me of the Scott Foster versus Chris
Speaker 11: Paul situation in the NBA. Like Scott Foster Chris Paul's
Speaker 11: like one in thirty seven with Scott Foster as his
Speaker 11: head official and like it took like thirty two games
Speaker 11: before you gotta win, So I always think about it.
Speaker 4: He'd just get thrown out by him the other day.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 9: Yeah, they hate each other like they blood hate each other.
Speaker 5: Like yeah, like Scott Foster like mentioned Chris Paul's kid.
Speaker 9: Yeah, rough, Yeah, it was bad.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was rough.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I wouldn't do that, wasn't By the way, John
Speaker 5: Hussy was also the referee in the NFC Championship game
Speaker 5: last year with forty nine ers.
Speaker 9: Oh I guess that wasn't the last Eagles game.
Speaker 5: Huh Yeah, interesting though, I'm just looked up on the
Speaker 5: play by play.
Speaker 6: Good to know.
Speaker 9: Interesting, good to know.
Speaker 5: Thank you Beamer.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 5: One more piece of information from our text line.
Speaker 4: This is Abe in Las Vegas text line.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're not gonna love this text Not to reign
Speaker 5: on Isaiah's parade, but a black panther technically does not exist.
Speaker 4: It is a leopard with a skin pigment. Yeah.
Speaker 6: I know.
Speaker 5: It's a freaking jaguar.
Speaker 6: That's what I said.
Speaker 4: It's a leopard, it's a ar.
Speaker 5: It's pigment deficient.
Speaker 11: If you put a leopard, a jaguar, and a panther
Speaker 11: right in front of me, I'll just be like, yes,
Speaker 11: have no idea.
Speaker 5: Thanks Abe, Thanks doing the research.
Speaker 11: Is he the other co founder at He's he's the COO,
Speaker 11: chief operating officer.
Speaker 4: All right, let's give some key matchups.
Speaker 6: Let's get back to football.
Speaker 9: Yeah, absolutely so a key matchups.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 11: There's so many this week, and I'm really excited to
Speaker 11: dive into this one. And a couple of them are
Speaker 11: the same ones that we had back in what was
Speaker 11: that week nine or whatever. I'm gonna start off with
Speaker 11: Jordan my Lota versus Michael Parsons. This is one I
Speaker 11: had back in week nine and it was it definitely
Speaker 11: lived up to the hype. But my Lota got the
Speaker 11: best of Parsons in that matchup. So I got a
Speaker 11: stat here. My Lota allowed just one pressure against Michael
Speaker 11: Parsons in thirteen one on one matchups back in week nine.
Speaker 9: My lot of I know, I've talked about him this week.
Speaker 9: He's a rugby guy.
Speaker 11: He's from Australia, He's got this Australian oxcent and he's
Speaker 11: he's like six foot seven and a half three hundred
Speaker 11: and fifteen pounds. I mean, he's a massive human, like
Speaker 11: massive human, and he's he's all he's all bulk, and
Speaker 11: he's really strong.
Speaker 9: He's had a fantastic year.
Speaker 11: I think he's one of the best left tackles this
Speaker 11: season so far in the NFL. I'm really excited to
Speaker 11: see this one back and excited to see Michael Parsons
Speaker 11: lineback up against him.
Speaker 6: Can you do me a favor?
Speaker 7: Can you write that on a card and take it
Speaker 7: and put it in Michael Parsons locker, Just that stack.
Speaker 5: I just write the.
Speaker 6: Stat that's could be anonymous.
Speaker 7: Just say, hey, Michael Parson's last game against this young, strapping.
Speaker 6: Gentleman, he got the best of you. Yep. Just put
Speaker 6: it in his locker.
Speaker 8: I want to see him that turns.
Speaker 6: Yeah. I would love to see Yeah, not me. It's facts.
Speaker 6: We're not telling you what. It's just not feelings.
Speaker 4: It's just facts.
Speaker 9: It is facts. It is facts.
Speaker 11: I think the biggest thing that I've seen Michaeh Parsons
Speaker 11: struggle with in now year three, I guess, is those
Speaker 11: guys that are so much bigger than him, that are
Speaker 11: also athletic like this is a sneaky athletic left tackle.
Speaker 11: He's got the size and he's going to have the strength.
Speaker 11: But his rugby background and what he's been able to
Speaker 11: do from an athletic standpoint throughout his life, it makes
Speaker 11: that athleticism almost on par with Parsons. Parsons is going
Speaker 11: to be the most athletic pass rusher that most left
Speaker 11: tackle see. I'm not saying he's on that same level,
Speaker 11: but it's gonna be a different challenge than a typical
Speaker 11: six seven and a half three fifteen.
Speaker 9: Type of left tackle.
Speaker 11: And I whenever you see those kind of matchups with Parsons,
Speaker 11: I think that's where he kind of struggles a little
Speaker 11: bit because like even Trent Williams, like I don't, I
Speaker 11: wouldn't call him the most athletic guy in the world,
Speaker 11: and Mike I can beat him, like there is opportunity.
Speaker 11: He has more opportunities against a guy like Trent Williams
Speaker 11: and he does against a guy like Jordan Mailatta. So
Speaker 11: I'd like to see a little bit of improvement there
Speaker 11: on a guy who's also as young as he is,
Speaker 11: also as athletic as he is, like pound for pound,
Speaker 11: and then can also you know, push him back.
Speaker 4: A little bit so from the AEO the eight h eight,
Speaker 4: they said.
Speaker 5: Nick Bosa said in a recent interview that the forty
Speaker 5: nine ers laid the blueprint out to beat the Eagles.
Speaker 4: What is that blueprint?
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's I don't I don't know what that is.
Speaker 8: I've heard this this term before and it's like, oh,
Speaker 8: and especially back whenever the Patriots were they had that
Speaker 8: undefeated season and there are teams that almost got the
Speaker 8: best of him, They're like, okay, well the blueprint is there? Okay,
Speaker 8: what does that mean?
Speaker 7: That has heard this a few years ago as Broncos
Speaker 7: Broncos Broncos.
Speaker 5: Right, what is what does that mean?
Speaker 7: It means that you exposed weaknesses in an opponent. That's
Speaker 7: that's all it means.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 7: It doesn't mean that it's that holistic game. Right, the game,
Speaker 7: but maybe you found a certain stunt or a hole
Speaker 7: in the protection. Right, there's certain there's always gonna be
Speaker 7: something that can be exposed.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 7: Everything is not bulletproof, right, So once you find that
Speaker 7: it's a copycat league, every team is. I mean the
Speaker 7: scouting the scouting departments watched all the games through the
Speaker 7: rest of the year already in terms of opponents, right,
Speaker 7: So like they're working so far in advance, So once
Speaker 7: you put something on film, now it's just a matter
Speaker 7: of saying, okay, is it is what I'm seeing in
Speaker 7: this particular game.
Speaker 6: Does it hold true?
Speaker 7: And if it holds true, then absolutely we're gonna attack
Speaker 7: them the same exact way. So that's when you hear blueprint.
Speaker 7: We laid the blueprint. You're pretty much saying we exposed
Speaker 7: their weakness. So now you guys can go out there
Speaker 7: and attack it the same way that we did, not.
Speaker 8: Just watching film, right, it's.
Speaker 7: Watching it was watching film, but it's something it's a flaw.
Speaker 7: It's a flaw that is consistent. It's not just a
Speaker 7: one time deal like oh, he missed a block. It's
Speaker 7: like no, like every time you're in this formation, in
Speaker 7: this type of block protection, this guy struggles or they
Speaker 7: struggle passing off this type of stuff like this.
Speaker 6: It's a flaw in what it is that you're in
Speaker 6: your execution.
Speaker 7: And when you are able to identify that and expose it,
Speaker 7: now everybody has the blueprint as to how to attack you.
Speaker 5: Nka run to the left against Philly possibly, I mean
Speaker 5: that's one of them. I think the other side of
Speaker 5: it is that teams can also seal up their flaws,
Speaker 5: and that changes this season goes on. So you can
Speaker 5: give a blueprint, but that blueprint could change from week
Speaker 5: thirteen to week fourteen. Running to the left against Philly
Speaker 5: this week may not be as successful.
Speaker 4: That's what the forty nine Ers did.
Speaker 5: But if you base it off of what you saw
Speaker 5: against San Francisco Philly this past week, what would you
Speaker 5: say the flaw would be for Philadelphia That would be intact.
Speaker 11: I think the forty nine ers defense, specifically, they played
Speaker 11: so well on that second level. They made Jalen Hurts
Speaker 11: question himself by that early second half, because that second
Speaker 11: level is so important when you're guarding a guy like
Speaker 11: Jalen guarding I'm watching too much basketball last night, when
Speaker 11: you're defending a guy like Jalen Hurts, just because what
Speaker 11: he could do with his legs, what he can do
Speaker 11: over the over the middle of the field, those weapons
Speaker 11: that they have that they utilize over the middle of
Speaker 11: the field, and those linebackers, man, they really showed up
Speaker 11: last week for the forty nine Ers. I think that
Speaker 11: was the biggest thing in my book. But also that
Speaker 11: pass rush got home and when that pass rush gets
Speaker 11: home for the forty nine ers, no team in the
Speaker 11: NFL is beating them. I'm very confident in that. So
Speaker 11: do I believe in blueprints? No, But I do believe
Speaker 11: in personnel having opportunities to take advantage of another team
Speaker 11: based on what other personnels have done.
Speaker 9: So we'll see on.
Speaker 4: That, David and Fort Pierce, Florida said. The article said that.
Speaker 5: The blueprint to beat the Eagles was the only rush
Speaker 5: for little to no blitzing, close in on Hurts and
Speaker 5: keep him in the pocket, which yeah, I would agree
Speaker 5: with that. I mean keep him contained and there's a
Speaker 5: way to when you say it like that easy money.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's only.
Speaker 5: Four really tough things to do.
Speaker 11: The unfortunate thing is it's not us for guarding or
Speaker 11: blocking for Jalen Hurts.
Speaker 5: The fortunate thing is is that, yeah, exactly, that we
Speaker 5: aren't out there because that would be injury.
Speaker 11: Who's left tackle? Beam? Putting Beam at left tackle?
Speaker 6: Beam?
Speaker 4: You played tackle?
Speaker 8: No, it was come on, we're gonna have to kick
Speaker 8: you pulling plays right, I just stay.
Speaker 9: The second key matchup that I have is a J.
Speaker 11: Brown versus Deron Bland, And there's a couple of reasons
Speaker 11: that I have this on here. One in which I
Speaker 11: think we could all guess is based on the last
Speaker 11: game that Deron Bland had last Thursday night against DK Metcalf,
Speaker 11: easily his worst game that he's had all season. Was
Speaker 11: able to rebound and get an interception in the second
Speaker 11: half and actually played really well in the fourth quarter,
Speaker 11: so I have to give him props on that, But
Speaker 11: it was a rough outing all the way around. He
Speaker 11: gave up one hundred yards, he gave up a couple
Speaker 11: of touchdowns DK Metcalf, and he's facing a very similar
Speaker 11: weapon in AJ Brown this week. Back in their Week
Speaker 11: nine matchup A J. Brown versus Deron Bland, they had
Speaker 11: seven snaps going up against each other or seven routes
Speaker 11: run from AJ Brown, and Bland gave up two receptions
Speaker 11: for fifteen yards and one touchdown on four targets. I
Speaker 11: believe both of those receptions came on the very first
Speaker 11: drive for Philadelphia. So again, it's just about starting strong,
Speaker 11: I think for Deron Bland this week and keeping that
Speaker 11: consistent throughout the entirety of a game. I'm confident Deron
Speaker 11: Bland and his ability to shut down any receiver that
Speaker 11: they throw out him. I mean, we've seen what he's
Speaker 11: done this year against really elite type guys. It's another
Speaker 11: big challenge for him this week in a J.
Speaker 6: Brown.
Speaker 5: I know a J.
Speaker 11: Brown is gonna want to have a big game after
Speaker 11: somewhat being quieted the last time these two teams played.
Speaker 11: So it's gonna be a fun matchup to watch. I
Speaker 11: think that's gonna be one of the better ones whenever
Speaker 11: Philly's on offense.
Speaker 6: What do you think, It's definitely a challenge.
Speaker 7: I don't believe that people are going to try to
Speaker 7: go crazy off with this comment. I don't believe that
Speaker 7: AJ Brown presents the same challenges as a DK Metcalf. Okay,
Speaker 7: that's not to say that a J. Brown is not
Speaker 7: a better receipt not equal. I just think that DK
Speaker 7: Metcalf has freaking top of the world speed.
Speaker 4: Well, he set the speed mark for the NFL.
Speaker 5: So on the seventy four yard in a league.
Speaker 7: There were techniques that durn Bland was trying to use
Speaker 7: on DK Metcalf that was not going to be successful.
Speaker 6: Right. We went over this in special edition this week
Speaker 6: Special edition breakdown. Go check that out.
Speaker 7: But it was his feet were kind of stuck in
Speaker 7: the ground, and you can get away with that with
Speaker 7: his his acceleration at his closing speed. Right, how that's
Speaker 7: how he's got his interceptions right. He makes it look
Speaker 7: like he's not really in position, but then whila, all
Speaker 7: of a sudden, he's right there, picks the ball off.
Speaker 7: You can get away with that with most guys until
Speaker 7: these guys run four two. So DK Metcalf was closing
Speaker 7: in on that space and really what we call offensively say,
Speaker 7: getting on the toes of the defensive back. So once
Speaker 7: I'm within a half yard of you, there's no way
Speaker 7: that you're gonna take your hips, get them flipped around
Speaker 7: and go vertical before I can get past you. And
Speaker 7: then you're gonna be able to keep up right when
Speaker 7: I'm running four two four three, That's what DK Metcalf presented.
Speaker 5: AJ Brown's not as explosive as DK Metcalf.
Speaker 7: So I foresee him still having a size advantage, obviously
Speaker 7: in a strength advantage over Dourron Bland. But I think
Speaker 7: Dearn Bland has has more speed and more quickness than
Speaker 7: an AJ.
Speaker 8: Brown, but no less dangerous.
Speaker 7: No less dangerous in the sense of I don't foresee
Speaker 7: AJ Brown running past Durn Blan, Right, I think that
Speaker 7: AJ Brown will big boy him.
Speaker 6: I think he'll body him up.
Speaker 7: I think he'll you know, postgame him all day long
Speaker 7: in terms of contested catches, you know, trying to go behind,
Speaker 7: trying to go through him.
Speaker 6: AJ Brown has that big frame.
Speaker 7: I think Dearron Blan will face struggles in that regard,
Speaker 7: or he's not struggles, but challenges in that regard. Versus
Speaker 7: DK Metcalf presents those same issues. But that's not how
Speaker 7: they attack Darn Bland. They attacked Darn blaand with DK
Speaker 7: Metcalf speed and that's the issue that I think that
Speaker 7: he had last week that he doesn't have this week
Speaker 7: against a J.
Speaker 6: Brown.
Speaker 7: Now on the other side, Mode Smith, you do have
Speaker 7: that speed issue, right, But in terms of a J.
Speaker 6: Brown, AJ Brown is going to play big boy.
Speaker 5: Ball, physical technician of a rout runner and just an
Speaker 5: all around good receiver.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Imperatively.
Speaker 11: Final matchup that I have here is Terrence Steele versus
Speaker 11: Hassan Reddick.
Speaker 6: Yes, that's mine.
Speaker 9: We saw what we saw.
Speaker 11: What happened the last time these two teams played, and
Speaker 11: what Terrence Steele put on the field, and easily one
Speaker 11: of his worst games that he's had as a professional,
Speaker 11: but since then he's really rebounded. I got to give
Speaker 11: it to him. That guy, he works harder than anybody
Speaker 11: in this building. I'm very confident in saying that he's
Speaker 11: done a fantastic job since then. The game against Washington,
Speaker 11: I think is one of the better games he's had
Speaker 11: in his career. Really awesome in that game. So he
Speaker 11: allowed twelve pressures in that game in Week nine at Philadelphia.
Speaker 11: Since then, in the four games since, he's allowed twelve.
Speaker 11: So he's right out about three a game. He allowed
Speaker 11: two versus the Giants, five versus the Panthers, zero versus
Speaker 11: the Commanders almost at the other one, and five versus
Speaker 11: the Seahawks. So was it his best outing all season
Speaker 11: last week?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 9: But I have to give Dak Prescott credit there, just
Speaker 9: because he's.
Speaker 11: Been using his mobility and quit game a little bit
Speaker 11: more as the season has gone on. But you know,
Speaker 11: Hassan Reddick, he got a sack on Dak Prescott. The
Speaker 11: last time these two teams played, it was given up
Speaker 11: by Terrence Steele. He had four hurries all on Terrence Steele.
Speaker 11: So this is going to be a matchup to watch
Speaker 11: if you want to see a guy look to try
Speaker 11: and rebound, that's the matchup you want to look at
Speaker 11: right tackle whenever the Cowboys are on offense.
Speaker 7: Speaking of blueprints, if anybody has opportunity where their platform
Speaker 7: resources go. Look at what San Francisco did to slow
Speaker 7: down Hassar Riddick. They did a heck of a job.
Speaker 7: I mean to the point we talked about the Jess J. Kyle,
Speaker 7: to the point where they took one of their most
Speaker 7: dangerous weapons in George Kittle and said, instead of putting
Speaker 7: you down the field, yeah, we need you to chip
Speaker 7: on this cap.
Speaker 5: Here almost every play all the time.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean he had to run through dog or
Speaker 7: mountains left and right to get to the quarterback. So
Speaker 7: that's why Perdy had the time to get the ball out.
Speaker 7: In accordance with that, you you combo chipping him, utilizing
Speaker 7: your weapons, okay, whoever you want to use to slow
Speaker 7: down Reddicks his ability to get off the ball. But
Speaker 7: then having that guy get to a route, some form
Speaker 7: of a route, whether it be a sit over the ball,
Speaker 7: whether it be getting out to the flat. Their their
Speaker 7: cornerbacks like to carry, meaning that they latch on.
Speaker 6: They're like leeches.
Speaker 7: Even in like when they're not playing man to man,
Speaker 7: they can't help themselves if you're taking if you're a
Speaker 7: vertical threat in their zone, they're going to follow you.
Speaker 6: Okay. What that allows for.
Speaker 7: Is things underneath in the space that they vacated. So
Speaker 7: what they were doing in San Francisco was they were
Speaker 7: chipping the crap out of reddit.
Speaker 5: Okay, it doesn't matter who was going.
Speaker 7: Out there, who was trying to chip on them, they
Speaker 7: would chip, get to a flat right, come across, hit
Speaker 7: him on the way by, get to the flat right
Speaker 7: because two second delay after the ball is snapped and
Speaker 7: you have a vertical threat to slay, especially slay side.
Speaker 7: Now all of a sudden, he's twenty twenty five yards
Speaker 7: down the field and there's a whole vacant spot for
Speaker 7: underneath where you can pick them apart. Nice little dump down,
Speaker 7: high high precision pass, get it to your playmakers.
Speaker 6: And let them run for some yak yardage.
Speaker 7: That's what San Francisco did really well in terms of
Speaker 7: just moving the chains, and they were able to do
Speaker 7: that over and over and over again along with.
Speaker 6: Having an efficient running game.
Speaker 11: So question would you utilize The answer is guest on
Speaker 11: this first one, Jake Ferguson chipping on absolutely, would you
Speaker 11: utilize a little twelve personnel and throw a scoon maker
Speaker 11: on the other side and have them chip that side?
Speaker 7: And I want chip Chocolate, Chip Boy, Chip Chippindale, I
Speaker 7: want all the chip, I want all the chips.
Speaker 5: This game make it hard for him, and the game.
Speaker 7: With the rules the way they are now, has made
Speaker 7: it so much different, so much more difficult to do
Speaker 7: your job effectively in that regard. Back when I played,
Speaker 7: you could shoot the knees of guys all day long
Speaker 7: and it was no question. Like you knew as a defender,
Speaker 7: this is no.
Speaker 5: Harm, no foul.
Speaker 7: You just protect yourself right, like you know, protect yourself
Speaker 7: at all times. That's not the case anymore. So now
Speaker 7: you got to go up. You got to try to
Speaker 7: shoot high, hit him in the shoulder, pass, be sure
Speaker 7: not to hit him in the face mask, and like
Speaker 7: it's just so much it's just harder to handle your job.
Speaker 7: So now you have to get a little bit more creative.
Speaker 7: But to that point, yes, I love twelve personnel. I
Speaker 7: love twelve personnel versus the Philadelphia Eagles. First of all,
Speaker 7: these guys like to run Nickel. I think they' running Nickel
Speaker 7: over seventy five percent at a time, So you can
Speaker 7: have a size advantage if you're running twelve personnel right
Speaker 7: your two tight end sets, you have receivers, two receivers
Speaker 7: that can go out there and run routes on these
Speaker 7: guys all day long. I think that their safeties are
Speaker 7: not the best cover safeties in the world. You could
Speaker 7: take advantage of that. They want to play man to man.
Speaker 7: You know, as long as you don't have thirty one
Speaker 7: sitting down there in the box, go twelve all day long.
Speaker 11: They're running Nickel seventy six point eight percent of the time,
Speaker 11: which nickel having five dbs on the field at the
Speaker 11: same time, and that's eighth in the league. Do you
Speaker 11: want to know who is last in the NFL and
Speaker 11: running nickel?
Speaker 5: Dallas?
Speaker 4: The Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 11: But we're number one a dime though, number one, number
Speaker 11: one in dime thirty two and nickel thirty one in
Speaker 11: base thirty two in zone coverage, one in man coverage.
Speaker 4: Running a lot of mild and you'll face.
Speaker 9: I'm second in single high thirty one and split safety.
Speaker 6: It's wild. I love it.
Speaker 5: Love the key matchups as well, lots to look forward to.
Speaker 4: You can go up and down the list.

Speaker 5: I did not know that actually scouting, I'm telling you guys,
Speaker 5: maybe I shouldn't be saying that, Bob.
Speaker 4: Bob and dan Quinn are neighbors.
Speaker 5: All right, well done, All right, let's pick some of
Speaker 5: these games this week. We've got the Colts at the
Speaker 5: Bengals to get things started off. Of course, the Bengals
Speaker 5: the big win over the Jags on Monday Night Football.
Speaker 5: Still without Joe Burrow for the rest of the season.
Speaker 4: Getting a win, maybe well, Jake out, he looks really good.
Speaker 6: He went to dub quarterback.
Speaker 5: Let's not talk about what you've said about Qbu.
Speaker 4: We'll let you start it.
Speaker 5: Then, Colts at Bengals, come on, you don't go with
Speaker 5: you doub so Bengals all the way?
Speaker 4: Absolutely, which got Josh.
Speaker 11: Let's go with the Bengals for sure. Yeah, I'm gonna
Speaker 11: go Bengals as well. Jake Browning looked so awesome on
Speaker 11: Monday Night Football. Although the Colts are riding a four
Speaker 11: game win streaks.
Speaker 5: About to say the Colts have won four straight.
Speaker 4: Give me the Colts. Indeed, I'll take that game. Andy's
Speaker 4: gonna take.
Speaker 5: That, all right, Bob.
Speaker 16: I think the Colts are gonna take it.
Speaker 9: That's what I like to hear.
Speaker 5: Bob. Well done, Let's make it happen, all right, Vikings
Speaker 5: at the Raiders, both teams, of course in a bit
Speaker 5: of shambles, but still finding a way to sneak out
Speaker 5: some wins. The Raiders are five and seven at home,
Speaker 5: the Vikings at six and six.
Speaker 4: Bob will let you start.
Speaker 16: Oh, it's in Vegas.
Speaker 7: Huh.
Speaker 16: It is in Vegas and the Cowboys will be there
Speaker 16: in February.
Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, go ahead and book your tickets now.
Speaker 16: Yeah, let's let's I'm gonna take Vegas.
Speaker 5: All right, Vegas to get it done.
Speaker 8: Josh is Joshua Dobbs starting for the Vikes, that yas? Yeah,
Speaker 8: you know what, I've done enough betting against Joshua Dobbs,
Speaker 8: so I'm gonna I'm gonna take the Viking.
Speaker 5: You're hopping on the Dobbs bandwagon.
Speaker 8: That last game was rough.
Speaker 6: You know who's chasing him?
Speaker 8: Who's Oh yeah, Max Crosby, Mad Max Coullyville Heritage High School.
Speaker 8: I'm gonna go with Vikings.
Speaker 11: What about you, Nick, I'm gonna take the Vikings as well.
Speaker 11: They're both coming off of a bye week. But I
Speaker 11: think the Vikings have seen this playoff picture kind of
Speaker 11: form around them. Now there's four teams tied at six
Speaker 11: and six in the NFC Wildcard race, So give me
Speaker 11: the Vikings to respond. I think there's a little bit
Speaker 11: more juice there on that team right now.
Speaker 7: Had some conversations with coach Pierce on the sideline last
Speaker 7: week at the University of Washington game.
Speaker 6: She PAX World Championship. Yeah, good conversation. Good dude, I
Speaker 6: feel good, feel good about his chances. He fort confidence.
Speaker 6: We used to against each other.
Speaker 5: That's second flex.
Speaker 9: Did he go to you?
Speaker 6: Dun No?
Speaker 5: He went to Uh he was playing for the I
Speaker 5: was playing for the Cowboy.
Speaker 9: He go to Oregon? Why was he there? He's oh,
Speaker 9: the game was in Vegas.
Speaker 8: Never mind.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm stupid. It's like, so you think.
Speaker 5: Raiders, Yes, Raiders, I'm gonna do the Viking horn Yep,
Speaker 5: there you go, there you go, give me the Vikings.
Speaker 6: None of that.
Speaker 8: Don't the Dark Knight sound by.
Speaker 5: Hob Probably Yeah, you know the whole thing. Seahawks at
Speaker 5: forty niners. Where's it at It's at the forty nine ers,
Speaker 5: San Francisco Levi's stadium, doesn't matter.
Speaker 9: It could be in Geno Smith's backyard. I'm taking forty
Speaker 9: nine ers.
Speaker 4: Give me san Fran two.
Speaker 8: Josh, yeah, Niners full.
Speaker 5: Let me think about this one, Bob, what you got well?
Speaker 16: I would love to pick Seattle, but I think San
Speaker 16: Fran will win and the Ravens will get San Fran
Speaker 16: later in the year.
Speaker 6: I like it.
Speaker 5: There you go, There you go.
Speaker 4: What do you think, Isaiah?
Speaker 6: I mean, what the heck do I have to lose?
Speaker 6: I'm going for Seattle. Bang bang.
Speaker 9: He's trying to see how low it can go.
Speaker 5: You go This game, this next game has been a
Speaker 5: marquee matchup, a high level, prime time, must stop, must.
Speaker 4: Watch game the last couple of years.
Speaker 5: It still might be close to that, but neither one
Speaker 5: of these teams having the year that they anticipated. The
Speaker 5: Bills at the Chiefs Wow, Bills at six and six,
Speaker 5: and the Chiefs at eight and four off of their
Speaker 5: loss against the Backers.
Speaker 4: I'll let Josh start on this round.
Speaker 8: I you know what I'm feeling it, man, I think
Speaker 8: the Bills are going to take the winning year.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 8: Remember I could see it happening.
Speaker 9: I could I could really see it.
Speaker 5: And win on the road a Narrowhead.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I could see it. I could see it.
Speaker 8: Remember, it's not going to mean anything ultimately, because Chiefs
Speaker 8: are going to be the AFC champion.
Speaker 5: But what Yeah, I mean Baltimore is up there too,
Speaker 5: They're up there too. I think the Chiefs are still
Speaker 5: insane and you can't you can't de throne without Patrick
Speaker 5: Mahomes being up there.
Speaker 4: I'm going to take the Chiefs at home.
Speaker 9: I think they bounced back.
Speaker 4: They just came off of a loss.
Speaker 5: But that's the weird part about it is if the
Speaker 5: Chiefs do you indeed do that, and they win this
Speaker 5: game at home, the Cowboys will head to a six
Speaker 5: and seven Bills, a pissed off Bills game, and a
Speaker 5: really upset Bills team.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 11: I'm gonna take the Chiefs here at Arrowhead. It just
Speaker 11: makes too much sense here. But yeah, I think next
Speaker 11: week's match up up in Buffalo. We're starting to kind
Speaker 11: of keep an eye on temperatures out there. It's like
Speaker 11: five degrees. It's looking cold, so we'll see. But I'm
Speaker 11: taking the Chiefs today.
Speaker 6: Where you're thick under root twenty five degrees.
Speaker 5: Whenever that schedule came down in May and they said, hey,
Speaker 5: you're playing in Buffalo in December, I don't think I
Speaker 5: think I would have taken twenty five degrees. I was
Speaker 5: thinking more of like single digits at that point. November,
Speaker 5: zero degrees, zero precipitation.
Speaker 4: I think I think you'll be all right. What do
Speaker 4: you think in this one?
Speaker 7: It's hard. I want to my heart says Buffalo. But
Speaker 7: it's hard to go against the Chiefs at home. So
Speaker 7: I'm gonna go with the Chiefs.
Speaker 16: Bob, Well, you know this game has everything to do
Speaker 16: with the Cowboys next week.
Speaker 4: Yes, it does.
Speaker 16: So I want the Bills to win so they feel
Speaker 16: a little bit better, so when we beat them, it'll
Speaker 16: be easier. If they lose, they're going to be so
Speaker 16: desperate next week. So I want the Bills to win.
Speaker 6: I like it.
Speaker 5: Good for you, Bob, Good for you trying to play
Speaker 5: the long game here, trying to trying to set up
Speaker 5: success for the Cowboys. All right, next game, this is
Speaker 5: right before the game on Sunday Night Football. It's the
Speaker 5: Broncos at the Chargers. I hate picking Broncos games.
Speaker 4: I had.
Speaker 5: I tried to do everything I could to avoid picking
Speaker 5: this game this week because I've gotten them wrong, I
Speaker 5: think every time this year. And because of that, I'm
Speaker 5: going with Kellen Moore and the Chargers. Give me Justin
Speaker 5: Herbert to have a big day at SOFI Stadium and
Speaker 5: the Chargers zap the Broncos.
Speaker 4: What do you think?
Speaker 7: I say, I think the Chargers are trying to get
Speaker 7: their coach fired. So I'm going to go with the Broncos.
Speaker 8: Wow fair, I'm also going to go with no, you
Speaker 8: know what, I'm going with the Broncos.
Speaker 6: Bronco.
Speaker 11: Yeah, Chargers scored six points against the Patriots last week.
Speaker 11: I'm taking the Broncos.
Speaker 17: Hey, they won that game. Though, it's survive in advance
Speaker 17: winning a game. Yes, say, New England had to booprint Bob,
Speaker 17: what you got on this one?
Speaker 16: I'm riding with the Broncos.
Speaker 9: Let's ride all right?
Speaker 6: Here we go.
Speaker 5: Biggest game of the year so far for the Dallas
Speaker 5: Cowboys the ten and two Philadelphia Eagles, looking to become
Speaker 5: the first team since two thousand and four to repeat
Speaker 5: as NFC East champions. The Cowboys could throw a huge
Speaker 5: wrench into that with a win on Sunday Night Football
Speaker 5: prime time. The nine to three Boys going up against
Speaker 5: the Eagles, trying to put their undefeated home streak on
Speaker 5: the line. Fourteen straight wins at home at and T
Speaker 5: Stadium will be rocking. Bob, who do you think takes
Speaker 5: this one between the Eagles and the Cowboys.
Speaker 16: Well, as Jimmy Johnson said, and now I forgot what
Speaker 16: he says, Oh.
Speaker 8: We will win the ball game.
Speaker 16: The game you can print it in five inch headline.
Speaker 16: Cowboys will win. You want to score? Yes, thirty four
Speaker 16: twenty one.
Speaker 5: Thirty four to twenty one. Big win it by a
Speaker 5: Baker's does And Bob, thank you so much for the
Speaker 5: energy for getting up really early. I'll see west coming
Speaker 5: doing a great job.
Speaker 4: As always, we'll have to make sure.
Speaker 16: It comes come usit first time caller.
Speaker 5: We appreciate you and we look forward to hearing from
Speaker 5: you again. Just let us know whenever we can start
Speaker 5: making the trip out there. We'll do a remote from
Speaker 5: out there. We'll make it work in Hawaii. So time,
Speaker 5: all right, anytime sounds good? Sounds good, Bob and Hawaii
Speaker 5: representing the fans this week, and I like Bob.
Speaker 9: That's not west coast, that's a left coast.
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly. All right, Let Josh start this one off.
Speaker 5: Eagles Cowboys?
Speaker 8: Man, all right, I was wrong the first time. I
Speaker 8: will not be wrong the second time. We pick Cowboys Eagles.
Speaker 8: I'm gonna say Cowboys thirty five, Eagles seven.
Speaker 5: What.
Speaker 8: Wow, Let's kill him. Wow, Let's kill him.
Speaker 9: I'm so ready for this.
Speaker 8: Let's kill him, man.
Speaker 4: I like it. Say it with your chest.
Speaker 5: We've always said it, Say with your chest thirty five seven.
Speaker 5: I said it the first time around. I think no
Speaker 5: matter what happens, it would have been a split between
Speaker 5: these two teams, and I'm sticking with that. I thought
Speaker 5: if Dallas won in Philly, they would lose at home
Speaker 5: in Arlington. If Philly wins in Philly, I think Dallas
Speaker 5: protects home field and then win in Arlington. So with
Speaker 5: that being said, Cowboys win this one. I don't think
Speaker 5: it's a forty burger, and I don't think it's an
Speaker 5: easy win. Thirty one twenty seven. Dallas to get it
Speaker 5: done on Sunday Night football and both teams leave Week
Speaker 5: fourteen at ten and three.
Speaker 4: All right, who wants to go next?
Speaker 6: Rock?
Speaker 9: He told me.
Speaker 4: All right, Isaiah, go for it.
Speaker 7: Isaiah, you should throw a wrench into it.
Speaker 6: Huh m hm. You can dodge your wrench. You can
Speaker 6: dodge a ball, Yes you can.
Speaker 7: Twenty eight twenty seven comes down to a team deciding
Speaker 7: not to go for a two point conversion or deciding
Speaker 7: to go for a two point conversion to win a
Speaker 7: ball game.
Speaker 9: And can't get it, and you only do that on
Speaker 9: the road.
Speaker 6: Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 5: Cowboys get it.
Speaker 6: Cowboys get it.
Speaker 5: Let's pick dude, take that first caller for the week.
Speaker 6: Wow, well remember his.
Speaker 8: Name based on your record, I'm kind of scared now,
Speaker 8: you should be.
Speaker 5: You know, hey, he the only game he got right
Speaker 5: last week was the Cowboys answer.
Speaker 6: So we're okay, We're okay.
Speaker 5: He's eight and four win picking Cowboys games.
Speaker 11: I have a sneaky feeling that is gonna be an
Speaker 11: ugly game, Like I think it's gonna be gross. Yeah,
Speaker 11: it just kind of feels like this team is due
Speaker 11: for one. But that doesn't mean that the defense isn't
Speaker 11: gonna have a solid effort. I think it's twenty three twenty.
Speaker 5: Cowboys twenty three twenty. Just defensive effort on both sides.
Speaker 9: That's my favorite type of game.
Speaker 8: So I hope, So I hope.
Speaker 9: So that's Seahawks games. It's streussed me out a little
Speaker 9: too hard last week.
Speaker 5: So either way, this is gonna be a whole lot
Speaker 5: of fun. Yeah, this is gonna be a fun matchup.
Speaker 5: I think both teams have a lot to prove and
Speaker 5: we've got to get off the air very quickly because
Speaker 5: storylines is coming up next. But that's gonna do it
Speaker 5: for us. Enjoy the game on Sunday, everybody pregame live
Speaker 5: getting started at six pm Central Time for Chris Beam,
Speaker 5: Isaiah Stanback, Josh Rodriguez, Nick Harris, John Maachoda. Earlier in
Speaker 5: the week, I'm Kyle Yomit saying so long.
Speaker 4: We'll see you on Monday.
