Welcome to another edition of The Break. 0:00:47.120 --> 0:00:50.080 We are locking SWBC Mortgage Studios at the Star. It's 0:00:50.120 --> 0:00:52.360 our opportunity to get you guys ready for the upcoming game. 0:00:52.400 --> 0:00:55.160 Cowboys to play the Vikings this Sunday. It is a 0:00:55.200 --> 0:00:58.600 Sunday night football game. And by the end of this show, 0:00:58.640 --> 0:01:00.760 you guys will know exactly what's gonna happen, because these 0:01:00.760 --> 0:01:03.040 guys are going to tell you exactly what's going to 0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:06.479 happen this Sunday. Let's start first by talking about some injuries. 0:01:06.480 --> 0:01:09.319 We got to talk about. Amari Cooper had an MRI. 0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:12.560 What are the results and what you we expect from 0:01:12.640 --> 0:01:15.840 him this weekend? The results, actually, nobody knows what the 0:01:15.880 --> 0:01:18.680 results are because Amari himself said he forgot he just 0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:21.280 said he had forgot the results. He was basically like, 0:01:21.760 --> 0:01:24.280 all that's really complicated, which I sort of get because 0:01:24.319 --> 0:01:26.760 you're like, well it was negative positive, like his positive 0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:28.800 positive is bad and negative is good. You know, like 0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:32.039 it is kind of confusing. He literally said, he asked 0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:34.560 the doctors is it manageable? Can I play through it? 0:01:34.640 --> 0:01:36.399 And they were like yeah. He was like, cool, then 0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:40.200 let's do it. All right, let's five fifty. That's when, well, 0:01:40.319 --> 0:01:43.199 that's when the inactives come out, and I would imagine 0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:45.840 it'll be all the way through that. You know that 0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:47.840 he'll be out there and try to give it a 0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:50.440 go and see how much, because he said he can 0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:53.360 try to manage it, and that's managing is the pain. 0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:56.440 So you know you're gonna hear a report that says 0:01:56.440 --> 0:01:58.560 he's not playing. Probably you can hear report that says 0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:01.440 he is playing. You know, he was out there. He 0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:04.360 was out there this morning. I hesitate to say he 0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:07.520 like practiced, because first of all, we only see fifteen minutes, 0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:11.280 and second of all, he didn't put on a helmet 0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:13.239 during that stretch. He was you know that he was 0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:17.799 working with Britt Brown, the rehab director, doing stretching and 0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:21.080 getting himself right, and Brett Besh was helping him stretch 0:02:21.120 --> 0:02:24.239 his hamstrings out. I didn't see him do anything football 0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:26.640 related in the twenty minutes we were there, so, but 0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:29.320 he was out there, so I assume that means he's 0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:32.680 going to try something when you know practice is going 0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:36.000 on right now, Hopefully he's doing something. Was definitely not 0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:40.240 making the same mistake in the game against the Jets 0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:43.680 when you chose to keep the receivers that you did 0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:47.880 and not make somebody else. Yeah, I have that reaching 0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:50.600 down as a part of inactives. But I guess that's 0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:51.880 the point I was going to make too before we 0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:55.359 get to inactives, is you look at this, and there 0:02:55.360 --> 0:02:58.760 have been two games now where he's kind of felt injury, 0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:01.560 felt injured at the early parts of the game. One 0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:04.160 he was able to play, one he wasn't. So regardless 0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:06.239 of how he plays or how he looks or feels 0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:08.600 at the beginning of the game, that might not also 0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:10.800 be the dictator of how much he's going to play. 0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:13.480 If he gets into the game and immediately something happens 0:03:13.480 --> 0:03:16.079 to where it just seems like this is not this 0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:18.200 is not a for sure thing. One way or my 0:03:18.240 --> 0:03:23.119 depth is going to be limited somehow, someway, I'm going 0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:25.600 some other position is gonna get cut because of this 0:03:25.639 --> 0:03:28.280 week because I need my best route runner, whoever that 0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:31.760 is between Devin Smith and Cedric Wilson to be active 0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:35.120 for this game. Okay, and you have to cut cut 0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:39.760 down another position, not cut No, yeah, until six we're 0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:42.520 cutting somebody. Yeah, I hear you. Okay, so so real quick, 0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:45.160 let's just catch up on a couple other injured injured guys. 0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:48.320 There were several guys that were limited. Cam Fleming still 0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:50.600 has not practiced. My assumption he's definitely going to be out. 0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:53.840 But Nick jokes about it, but like, yeah, calf injuries 0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:57.760 must suck. I mean it, he knows. Yeah, well, you 0:03:57.800 --> 0:03:59.920 know they suck when you don't rehab it at all. 0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:02.040 I was gonna say, no offense to Nick, but you 0:04:02.320 --> 0:04:03.880 no offense to Nick, but you would have thought like 0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:06.320 a pro football player with access to all this stuff, 0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:08.360 like I Yeah, I don't want to say I'm surprised 0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:11.560 he's not out there, but clearly it is. It's it's 0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:13.280 a big thing for him to get back from. Well, 0:04:13.320 --> 0:04:15.440 mine has been two weeks ago. Mine has been five months, 0:04:15.440 --> 0:04:19.080 and I still feel it now now you're forty plus. Yeah, 0:04:19.160 --> 0:04:23.560 little limited, yeah, a little limited on no doubt, not 0:04:23.800 --> 0:04:27.520 like a non athlete, right, yeah, I mean so it's 0:04:27.520 --> 0:04:30.080 a little different. But yeah, but brit and Jim both 0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:31.839 said I could go in there and do something. I 0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:35.839 forgot what it was called, but something No, no, I 0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:38.040 forgot exactly what it was, but basically just kind of 0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:41.480 like drains out, you know, the swelling and stuff like that. Yeah, 0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:45.159 that's what a rain out. Oh no, no, kay Camplin, 0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:47.520 he's been doing that. I'm sure it's just it takes 0:04:47.560 --> 0:04:50.120 a little bit. He's out, He's he's not playing this week, 0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:53.360 all right. So I'm just saying that. I'm just saying, 0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:56.640 like the typically you're like guessing, like, well, he was limited, 0:04:56.800 --> 0:04:59.560 what does that mean? Like, No, this is Brandon Knight 0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:01.640 and he's in. So let's talk about these limited guys. 0:05:01.680 --> 0:05:04.240 I want to talk about jeff Eith and Layton Vandersh, 0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:07.800 particularly because I think the other guys Lyle Colin, Shawn Lee, 0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:10.040 Zach Martin, Tyren Smith, it seems like these are just 0:05:10.160 --> 0:05:11.600 kind of things that are gonna be around for them. 0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:13.240 Let's talk about those other two though, jeff Eth and 0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:15.440 Layton vender vanderesh j I mean, Jerry said on the 0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:17.960 radio today on on the Fan that he expects him 0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:19.919 to be out there and ready to go, and I 0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:22.600 think Jeff Heath is the same. He's been practicing all week. 0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:25.680 He was, I mean, he was all trees on the knee. Yeah. 0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:28.800 I mean that's interesting when you think about it, because 0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:32.080 it's not it's not your head, it's not your thigh, 0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:35.360 it's a it's ben Benz. That's exactly right and feel good. 0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:37.960 So when you talk about stitches, that's where you start wondering, 0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:40.000 like is it I would think mentally, I'm all, I 0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:42.080 would always be thinking he's gonna break, Like is a 0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:44.680 stitch gonna break? Because I'm constantly having to move You 0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:47.360 don't want to move it because I got stitches there, right, 0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:51.040 So kirs were going to be running up to it 0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:54.920 and stitch it. Yeah, But I wonder if mentally though, yeah, 0:05:55.200 --> 0:05:57.640 he had the bloody suck. Okay, even Derek knows that 0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:02.400 I'm for what team phill Oh my god, he did 0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:07.320 pitch for Philly? He did? When did that happen? He was, Yeah, 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:10.320 I didn't know that, and I take it, um, But 0:06:10.600 --> 0:06:13.760 what I've seen some people on Twitter be excited about 0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:17.520 poor Jeff Heath getting injured and the possibility of seeing 0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:20.680 more of Darien Thompson. Do you guys really think that 0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:27.760 Darien Thompson could be noticeably better? Was better last week? Okay? Okay, 0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:30.440 but he made some plays last week. I think he's better. 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:32.520 I do too. I kind of think he is better. 0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:35.479 You know, sometimes you have a good game and that's 0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:39.440 that you could be. You could be two weeks from now, 0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:42.400 and let's say Darien Thompson played all those games, and 0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:44.240 you're right, we might be talking about him the same 0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:46.320 way that we've talked about Jeff Heath when he's had 0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:50.039 bad moments, right, I mean, that could happen. I'm just saying, 0:06:50.080 --> 0:06:53.039 in that one game sample size, I thought Darien Thompson 0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:55.000 played really well. I think he did too. But I 0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:58.000 think that's a classic case of like small sample size bias, 0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:01.320 Like what did what did Darien Thompson do that was 0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:05.400 great besides fall on a fumble which he gets kind 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:08.480 of work that. So what is Jeff Heath's best quality? 0:07:08.600 --> 0:07:11.040 He's around the ball like he does stuff like that time. 0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:14.720 So a fumble for me doesn't convince me that he's 0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:16.920 better than Jeff Heath. But also there was another play. 0:07:17.200 --> 0:07:19.560 There was another play on the goal line where they 0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:22.040 stopped him for like a two yard loss. He was 0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:24.200 the guy darting in there. Nothing that is not a 0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:27.000 playoff he and he actually did that against the Dolphins too. 0:07:27.240 --> 0:07:28.640 He was in on a play like that, but not 0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:33.720 bad okay, But and it puts Jeff Heath in his 0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:37.920 best position, which is full time on special teams player 0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:40.480 and then a nickel dime player on. So do you 0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:43.120 think Darien starts this week? I think Keith will be 0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:46.120 active if he If he is active, I don't think 0:07:46.160 --> 0:07:48.640 this coaching staff doesn't make him the starter. Yeah, I 0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:51.720 kind of agree. I don't think Darien Thompson did enough 0:07:52.080 --> 0:07:53.720 to where they have to do that, And I don't 0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:56.240 think if they have to do that, they would. I mean, again, 0:07:56.360 --> 0:07:59.240 we know how much they value veterans. They value their veterans, 0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:01.760 and it takes a lot. It takes a guy really 0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:04.520 playing his butt off for them to feel like they 0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:06.800 have to not make the move. But I think I 0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:09.720 don't think there's any way that he's not the starter. Okay. 0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:12.560 But I will also say this about a safety. Sometimes 0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:16.160 with a safety, when you finished watching a game, if 0:08:16.240 --> 0:08:19.239 you haven't seem like you haven't heard their name. Sometimes 0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:21.600 that's as much of a thing that they had a 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:24.320 great games as seeing some of those plays. Because think 0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:26.200 about when we when we typically have a problem with 0:08:26.280 --> 0:08:29.960 Jeff Heath, it's because he missed an angle and didn't 0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:34.040 get a tackle, he missed a tackle, he missed an assignment, 0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:35.839 whatever it is, it's it's it ends up being a 0:08:35.920 --> 0:08:38.199 really big play. So if you're not giving up those 0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:40.439 kinds of things, then you're doing what you should be 0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:44.160 doing as a safety. Safety is are just like offensive lineman. Um, 0:08:44.440 --> 0:08:47.920 so yeah, it's interesting. I don't I mean no, Jeff 0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:50.040 heats tough as nails like he I mean, if he 0:08:50.120 --> 0:08:52.520 can move his leg, he's gonna play. And yeah, I 0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:54.640 think you're right, Like if he's healthy enough to be active, 0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:58.480 then he'll probably start. I do like having Darian Thompson available. 0:08:58.520 --> 0:09:01.280 The interesting thing will be is, even though I believe 0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:03.839 Jeff will start, how much do they start mixing those 0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:06.360 guys in and out. Do we start seeing Darian Thompson 0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:08.439 out there a little bit more? That can be a 0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:11.079 significant thing. And certainly when you go into this offseason, 0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:13.280 you think about what can happen next year. We could 0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:15.760 start seeing some of that this year. I think, all right, 0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:18.720 let's based on that. Then let's get to the inactives. 0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:25.280 We've said cam Fleming's definitely out. My assumption is Redmond, Gifford, Jackson, 0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:28.520 and Hill will also be out. They get you to five, right, 0:09:29.480 --> 0:09:31.720 who the last two? Because last week he had Devin 0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:33.959 Smith and Cedric Wilson. You guys just talk about the 0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:36.600 receiver position. You don't feel comfortable with both those guys 0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:40.000 being inactive the presumption one of them would be I 0:09:40.040 --> 0:09:42.760 would think who would you keep? Who would you keep him? Well, 0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:45.560 let's throw this, just throw this out there. I mean, 0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:47.439 they're going to have a better feel on it too. 0:09:47.640 --> 0:09:50.160 So if they feel confident about Cooper, you could sit 0:09:50.200 --> 0:09:52.760 them both. Like remember it really bit them against the 0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:55.440 Jets because Cobb wasn't playing either. Cobb's fine, So they 0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:58.040 could sit Smith and Wilson if they want to. Do 0:09:58.080 --> 0:10:00.360 you feel comfortable with that? No? All right? I would 0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:03.640 I would bring up Devin Smith. He's like more valuable 0:10:03.679 --> 0:10:06.840 as like an ex slash downfield receiver than than Wilson. 0:10:07.080 --> 0:10:11.280 The questions versatile, feel that a little better you do 0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:15.079 have cob and if something happens to Cooper or any 0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:18.199 of the receivers. How much of a difference is it 0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:24.319 between Ventel Bryant and the you know, the best guy 0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:28.439 you've got Smith or Wilson. I've never seen Ventel Bryant 0:10:28.679 --> 0:10:32.280 do anything actually wide receiver Like he was on the 0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:33.920 field of the Jets game in the goal line. He 0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:35.280 had to go out there and they didn't throw it 0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:37.559 to him, of course, Okay, but I mean I'm just saying, 0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:40.520 is it worth I mean, is it worth just keeping 0:10:40.559 --> 0:10:43.040 him out? You do have that receiver out there, so 0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:45.760 maybe they don't put another guy up and just say yeah. 0:10:45.760 --> 0:10:48.400 I wouldn't be shocked if they put him both down. 0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:50.559 They've I mean not saying I agree with it, but 0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:52.679 that wouldn't surprise me. I think a spot you have 0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:55.040 to consider at some point. I don't know if this 0:10:55.120 --> 0:10:57.319 coach of staff will do it. But Dalton Schultz hasn't 0:10:57.360 --> 0:11:00.120 given you anything anywhere. He's not giving you any thing. 0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:05.040 One forgetting about him. Yeah yeah, yeah, that's not good 0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:07.640 at all. He's not He's not providing anything on offense 0:11:07.760 --> 0:11:09.720 at all. I think he played one snap last week 0:11:09.760 --> 0:11:13.480 and then on special teams. Um, he gave up a 0:11:13.559 --> 0:11:15.880 play down the field that Paulard got tackled and he 0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:18.439 just missed his block. He's not on a lot of 0:11:18.480 --> 0:11:23.599 special teams positions or you know, teams, so you know, 0:11:24.080 --> 0:11:27.360 he hasn't never he hasn't never really done anything. You 0:11:27.440 --> 0:11:31.120 think they were doing any Yeah, I don't, But I 0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:34.960 was told today that very few teams, just a handful 0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:38.480 of teams dress eight linemen and three tight ends. It's 0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:40.920 just they just don't. They don't usually do eleven. That's 0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:43.679 a really good point because like I'm sitting here thinking like, well, 0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:46.000 if something happens to Jarwin or Witten, you need that 0:11:46.120 --> 0:11:48.040 third tight end or you'd probably like to have one. 0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:50.840 But I mean, Joe Looney money can go in there 0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:52.720 and do it. And by the way, right now, they're 0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:56.400 doing twenty one personnel as much as they're done twelve 0:11:56.600 --> 0:11:59.160 personnel or thirteen personnel, and they're not doing a lot 0:11:59.160 --> 0:12:01.720 of what do we all? I'll agree that that seems unlikely. 0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:05.080 It does. Yeah, I think it's worth I met Schultz 0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:08.079 was out there. Yeah, I mean, yeah, he's out there, 0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:10.400 But was he on the teams that are going to play? 0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:12.120 You know what? I mean, yeah, yeah, yeah, I think 0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:13.600 this is a game where I'd love to see said 0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:15.760 I'd love to see Devin Smith active, because I do 0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:17.560 think this is a game where they're going to probably 0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:20.520 have some challenges stopping trying to run the ball. This 0:12:20.679 --> 0:12:23.480 is a really good front and your best option maybe 0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:25.920 to throw the ball, and way one way to loosen 0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:27.520 it up a bit is to get down feel so 0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:31.360 about that. I actually for the purposes of protecting myself 0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:34.160 with Cooper, but also for the purposes of just giving 0:12:34.240 --> 0:12:37.839 me another weapon to use. Maybe down Phil, I think 0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:40.040 i'd rather I'd like to see him out there this week. 0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:43.559 I think if they so, they'll either sit both of 0:12:43.600 --> 0:12:45.760 those receivers or they'll bring one up, and then I 0:12:45.840 --> 0:12:48.560 would think your seventh and active would be Donovan Wilson 0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:52.960 in that scenario. Safety Yep, all right, let's take our 0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:54.680 first break. When we come back, we will get into 0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:56.719 a couple of questions I have for these guys.

David Helmand 0:15:25.840 --> 0:15:29.160 will be out there if LSU wins. After the event, testivities, 0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:31.600 the Star will be hosting the top two Madden players 0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:34.440 as they face off in the EA Sports Madden NFL 0:15:34.520 --> 0:15:37.600 twenty Club Championship presented by spire I wonder if William 0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:40.080 Boykins is in that group. Maybe. He says he's pretty 0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:45.280 good Madden players maybe, And mission and parking are free. 0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:49.240 Danny Serek will be hosting the event. Danny mccraig will 0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:52.960 be out there. He'll be excited after the LSU victory. Actually, Ken, 0:15:53.160 --> 0:15:55.160 one of the things that's really cool about this event 0:15:55.320 --> 0:15:58.440 is thank you that I'm talking for that final. Yeah, 0:15:58.480 --> 0:16:01.200 he does. For that final. I think they're gonna have Actually, 0:16:01.240 --> 0:16:03.920 they're gonna have brat Sham and I want to say 0:16:03.960 --> 0:16:08.440 it's I think it's Barry Church and Danny mccraig calling 0:16:08.520 --> 0:16:11.040 the final game. Like, so the Madden players are playing, 0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:13.040 they're calling it as though it's a Cowboys game, which 0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:15.120 makes it kind of cool. So I hope they don't 0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:18.400 talk over the people that are talking, because that is 0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:21.320 entertaining to me. I catch it sometimes on ESPN when 0:16:21.400 --> 0:16:23.000 like these two guys are going at it and they're 0:16:23.040 --> 0:16:25.840 just yelling and they're like, why are you cheating me? Bro? 0:16:26.040 --> 0:16:28.880 You know, like like the computer is cheating them. I 0:16:29.000 --> 0:16:31.320 love when they get excited like that. But we'll also 0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:34.160 be streaming that across our channels, our website, mobile app, 0:16:34.760 --> 0:16:36.840 some of our social channels as well. So if you 0:16:36.880 --> 0:16:39.400 guys are not in Dallas area and you want to 0:16:39.400 --> 0:16:40.880 be able to check it out, that's a good place 0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:42.800 to check it out. If you're Madden head like I am, 0:16:42.840 --> 0:16:44.800 then that'll be kind of fun. Something. You know, a 0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:48.000 training camp on Madden. You didn't time, Yeah, I don't know. 0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:50.920 You played man. Well, one of those guys, one of 0:16:51.000 --> 0:16:57.040 those player guys was helping me complexity. Yes, oh, a professional. 0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:03.800 She was getting some tips took. Yeah, but you won, Yes, 0:17:03.920 --> 0:17:06.399 I did. All right, let's jump back in. I have 0:17:06.440 --> 0:17:08.639 a couple of questions for you guys before we get 0:17:08.680 --> 0:17:10.280 to some phone calls. I remember you guys can call 0:17:10.359 --> 0:17:12.880 us eight eight eight eight five five two two nine seven. 0:17:13.760 --> 0:17:17.240 I was looking at the numbers of the kicker. We 0:17:17.320 --> 0:17:21.040 talk about the offense and the defense through extensively on 0:17:21.160 --> 0:17:23.760 Wednesday and Thursday every week, but this week I thought 0:17:23.800 --> 0:17:25.920 it's interesting when you look at these kickers. Dan Bailey 0:17:25.960 --> 0:17:29.840 obviously was with the Cowboys for many years. Cowboys cut 0:17:29.960 --> 0:17:34.000 him heading into last season. Didn't really have a great 0:17:34.080 --> 0:17:37.280 year last year, but this year kicking pretty well. Right now, 0:17:37.359 --> 0:17:40.680 he's ranked ranked eleven among kickers as far as his 0:17:40.760 --> 0:17:45.399 field goal percentage. He is eighty seven percent overall, so 0:17:45.480 --> 0:17:47.800 only to missus King between forty and forty nine, which 0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:50.440 is okay, three to five, he's three or five in 0:17:50.720 --> 0:17:55.040 that range. All the others he's he's been perfect. Brett Maher, 0:17:55.119 --> 0:17:57.280 on the other hand, for the Cowboys seventy two percent. 0:17:57.920 --> 0:18:01.680 He is now ranked twenty seventh in the NFL. He's 0:18:01.760 --> 0:18:04.399 missed one at the thirty to thirty nine range, and 0:18:04.560 --> 0:18:07.720 then he's four of seven fifty plus, which again that's 0:18:07.880 --> 0:18:10.720 very very okay. Fifty pluses is never going to be 0:18:10.800 --> 0:18:13.200 a gimme that. All being said, you have to also 0:18:13.240 --> 0:18:15.520 throw in the fact that we were the amounts of 0:18:15.640 --> 0:18:18.920 attempts for each of them. Both of them have attempted. 0:18:19.560 --> 0:18:22.360 Thought Bailey kicked fifteen and Maher kicked eighteen, right, yeah, 0:18:22.440 --> 0:18:26.119 something like that. They were played thirteen thirteen and then 0:18:26.160 --> 0:18:28.600 an extra points. This was something that was really interesting. 0:18:28.920 --> 0:18:30.959 Brett Mayer has been perfect and extra points twenty six 0:18:31.040 --> 0:18:34.600 of twenty six. Bailey has been twenty five or twenty seven. 0:18:34.680 --> 0:18:37.920 He has missed two extra points. My question for you guys, 0:18:38.359 --> 0:18:40.720 I know that most of you, if not all of you, 0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:43.080 were really surprised when the Cowboys made the movie that 0:18:43.119 --> 0:18:46.960 they made heading into the season last year, do you 0:18:47.040 --> 0:18:51.879 think the Cowboys should have been more patient with Dan Bailey? No, 0:18:52.800 --> 0:18:55.000 I mean, I'm surprised at the time he caught us 0:18:55.200 --> 0:18:58.920 off garden, and we were surprised for different reasons because 0:18:59.200 --> 0:19:01.760 he's spend a whole on the training camp and watching 0:19:01.840 --> 0:19:04.200 practice and kind of all felt like we kind of 0:19:05.040 --> 0:19:06.919 not got burned by them, but just kind of got 0:19:06.960 --> 0:19:10.360 burned by and not, well, you didn't. They didn't even 0:19:10.400 --> 0:19:16.120 allow him to get in those preseason games, and well 0:19:16.320 --> 0:19:21.200 did he that. You're right, but I get crazing is 0:19:21.200 --> 0:19:23.520 a little weird because from what I've been told and 0:19:23.600 --> 0:19:25.680 I think we've all kind of been told, is Dan 0:19:25.760 --> 0:19:29.000 didn't really want some of that that competition. Dan didn't 0:19:29.040 --> 0:19:31.360 want some kicks if it's not the holder and snapper 0:19:31.400 --> 0:19:34.240 that he wanted, so he didn't really want to compet. 0:19:34.359 --> 0:19:36.880 It's like, okay, it's not up to you. Like, if 0:19:36.960 --> 0:19:39.000 I'm your coach and I'm telling you go out there 0:19:39.040 --> 0:19:40.840 and kick the ball, you go out there and kick 0:19:40.920 --> 0:19:45.639 the ball. That's as simple as that. It's very simple. 0:19:45.720 --> 0:19:49.119 I mean, especially when you had the second half of 0:19:49.160 --> 0:19:51.560 the season that he had where he was struggling and 0:19:51.800 --> 0:19:54.000 coming back from that injury. I mean, it's not up 0:19:54.040 --> 0:19:55.760 to you. You go out I get it that you 0:19:56.200 --> 0:19:59.920 let me have somebody and my guy holding the ball 0:20:00.119 --> 0:20:03.720 here that I've trusted for all these years. No, no, Like, well, 0:20:03.760 --> 0:20:07.800 but here's the deal. You're right. But ultimately, if they 0:20:07.880 --> 0:20:09.480 didn't make him go out there and kick, he was 0:20:09.520 --> 0:20:11.560 still held accountable for not wanting to kick, because they 0:20:11.600 --> 0:20:13.960 ended up making the move right. So you can either 0:20:14.040 --> 0:20:17.120 go kick under whatever circumstances, or it's gonna you're gonna 0:20:17.119 --> 0:20:19.200 be judged by the fact that you were unwilling to 0:20:19.320 --> 0:20:22.000 kick in some of those circumstances. Yeah, I mean, I 0:20:22.119 --> 0:20:24.919 don't really think the fact that like they didn't they 0:20:25.000 --> 0:20:28.520 didn't cut Dan because he like just severely dropped off 0:20:28.560 --> 0:20:30.920 in his ability to kick. He lost the confidence of 0:20:30.920 --> 0:20:34.280 the coaching staff for whatever. Well for that reason, I mean, 0:20:34.400 --> 0:20:37.080 like he I don't know, for lack of a better word, 0:20:37.160 --> 0:20:39.520
