He's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:04.920 --> 0:00:14.360 and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club Cowboys. This He's Talking Cowboys, 0:00:14.800 --> 0:00:18.200 screening live from the Dallas Cowboys World Hours at the 0:00:18.280 --> 0:00:27.760 Star in Frisco. Elliott blowing the s and now your hosts, 0:00:28.040 --> 0:00:33.360 Isaiah stand back, heck My Harrison, Rob Phillips, and Kyle Yeoman's. 0:00:39.520 --> 0:00:43.640 It is a Monday edition of Talking Cowboys, presented by Toastito's, 0:00:43.680 --> 0:00:47.640 the official chip and the official tip of the Dallas Cowboys. 0:00:47.680 --> 0:00:50.640 Here from the Star in Frisco. The bye week is 0:00:50.680 --> 0:00:53.720 in the rear view mirror. It is back to business, 0:00:53.800 --> 0:00:57.160 game week. Back to business as the Minnesota Vikings are 0:00:57.240 --> 0:00:59.840 ahead on the schedule, the Cowboys are five and one, 0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:02.840 and we've got plenty to talk about even after a 0:01:02.880 --> 0:01:05.720 couple of days off. Heck Ma Harrison, Isaiah stand back, 0:01:06.040 --> 0:01:10.760 Rob Phillips, I'm Kyle Yeoman's. Gentlemen, how are we doing well? Yeah? 0:01:10.800 --> 0:01:13.679 Everybody rested up, ready to go? Yeah, you're ready to roll. 0:01:13.920 --> 0:01:16.119 Eleven week stretch. Maybe let's go. Let's do it. That's 0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:17.360 the thing, as I was about to say, for the 0:01:17.400 --> 0:01:22.160 final stretch, it's not a final stretch. It's a long 0:01:22.240 --> 0:01:24.679 way away till the end of the regular season. Yeah, 0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:30.240 Levn guaranteed, right, Yep, Levin guarantee. McCarthy actually says he 0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:32.080 loves it though, because if you go all the way 0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:37.319 back to training camp, it's halfway between started started training 0:01:37.319 --> 0:01:38.880 camp and the end of the season if the season 0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:42.039 goes as long as they hope it does. So it 0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:44.280 ended up working out perfectly. You could look at it 0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:46.120 that way. Didn't he say that? He thought that the 0:01:46.200 --> 0:01:48.320 bye week, the way it was situated, and then in 0:01:48.360 --> 0:01:51.200 the way that Thanksgiving lies was kind of like a 0:01:51.280 --> 0:01:55.680 second bye week, like a half by. Ultimately, what is that? Like? Why? Like, 0:01:55.760 --> 0:01:57.320 how does it work out that way? Because I always 0:01:57.320 --> 0:02:01.120 feel like the Cowboys get the route end of the stick. 0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:03.760 We got back to back Thursday night games, right, yeah, 0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:06.320 Thursday games, right, So then you factor in you got Friday, Saturday, 0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:08.840 Sunday off, So you end up having a ten day window, 0:02:09.760 --> 0:02:11.840 which is is not really a bye week. But really, 0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:13.600 bye weeks are really just a couple of days off 0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:15.400 for most guys. In case people didn't know, it's not 0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:17.560 an entire week that guys just stay out of the building. 0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:20.480 Coach usually gives you, like the weekend off. So usually 0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:22.760 get like the Friday, Saturday, Sunday off or maybe a 0:02:22.800 --> 0:02:25.280 Thursday if you have a really good coach, really nice coach, 0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:27.760 but you get three to three to three to four 0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:32.680 days off, really three most likely. So it's that's that's 0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:34.600 what the bye week consists of. So guys really get 0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:36.519 the weekends to go just hang with their families, chill, 0:02:36.960 --> 0:02:40.079 but they're not totally detached from football. I missed you, guys, 0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:43.640 I saw you. Well, yeah, we we We dealt with 0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:47.200 some stuff for a couple of days. Yeah. I get 0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:50.639 the way, Isaiah. The CBA has changed that they will 0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:56.359 automatically get four days off. Now, well there you go. 0:02:56.040 --> 0:02:59.160 There my game the whole week off too. He did. 0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:05.000 Yeah really yeah. They didn't do anything on the field. Yeah, 0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:08.800 but they face for everybody. They do have practice, full 0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:13.800 padded practice today. Yeah, welcome back. So what were you 0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:17.200 saying about dealing with some stuff. I'm dealing with anything. 0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:19.480 I was a pete. Pete took on everything, all right. 0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:23.880 I was a colt the whole way. And I didn't even. 0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:26.720 What I didn't do was I didn't piss Mickey off. 0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:28.960 You saw that I think he did. I did not 0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:33.280 you talk about the last little part where I was saying, book, 0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:38.080 book your tickets. I think when you intimated that he 0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:40.680 had a typewriter at home, I don't think you like that. 0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:42.960 I think I could see the steam kind of curling 0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:46.000 a little bit out the years. He doesn't show. Mickey 0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:48.320 doesn't look like he will let something go either. No, 0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:51.320 he's that was just a shout out to the old school. 0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:55.080 That's all that was. Hateful is strong. But uh yeah, 0:03:55.480 --> 0:03:57.760 the hold of grudge on you. Yeah, yeah, that so good. 0:03:57.920 --> 0:03:59.880 It was good. I love Mickey. It was just you know, 0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:02.760 it's a different dynamic on that show. Oh yeah, you know, 0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:05.839 I've lived it. Every shi man's true. Hey, Bill John 0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:08.480 that show. Phil Jones gave you an awesome compliment. He 0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:11.200 sure did open the show up with it. He did 0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:14.720 awesome compliments. Said you better watch out for Isaiah stand back. 0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:17.599 He's you know, I can't speak like he's awesome, but 0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:19.479 he's like, yeah, he's an extra line. We won't have 0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:24.440 him here pretty long. Here's a rising star, rising star 0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:30.600 just working. You know. ESPN buddies right here, here we 0:04:30.680 --> 0:04:33.000 go over my ESPN buddies right here, knock it out. 0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:36.720 They went. They did not. Oh yeah, North Texas lost. 0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:40.920 Now we're biased, we're bias biased. We're the network at 0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:44.960 that right, Okay, superprivacy, guys on there, Yeah, superprivacy you 0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:46.640 guys on there. That's freaking awesome. That was a ton 0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:49.480 of fun. And heckma I told him this, and I'll 0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:51.520 say this on the air too. He had the best 0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:54.119 game he's ever had. And he's had really good games 0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:55.720 all the way through. He had the best game he's 0:04:55.720 --> 0:05:01.440 ever had the Sea League. He is awesome. All right, 0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:04.640 let's get down to business. The bye week is in 0:05:04.680 --> 0:05:06.279 the rearview mirror. All of us had a little bit 0:05:06.320 --> 0:05:09.440 of extra time off, but the Cowboys had all of 0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:11.719 the time off this week. Like you guys just said, 0:05:11.760 --> 0:05:14.720 the Cowboys did not hit the field at all. Rob 0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:16.920 Any news and notes coming out of the bye week. 0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:19.680 Any updates on one injury of a guy who wears 0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:23.080 number four and certainly plays the quarterback position. Ah, well, 0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:25.960 we will see. I think with his strained calf, is 0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:29.560 what you're saying, Dak Prescott. I get the impression they're 0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:32.520 pretty confident he's gonna play in this game. That being said, 0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:35.680 I'm not saying that. Don't say I reported that I 0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:39.080 think everything's got to go right this week. I think 0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:40.400 he's got it. I don't know if he's gonna do 0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:43.360 anything on the field today. The plan was for him 0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:46.040 to get rechecked again today, and I think that's more 0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:50.120 of all right, good looking, good healing Wednesday, let's see 0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:52.840 if we can get you into practice. And so, I mean, 0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:54.680 you've played the position. I don't know if you've had 0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:56.640 a strained calf. But there's other things that have to 0:05:56.680 --> 0:05:58.200 go right. I mean you could say, yeah, we feel 0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:00.080 like he's gonna play, he's got to do some You 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:01.760 would think he's got to do something in practice and 0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:04.480 not have a setback, not be really sore the next day, 0:06:04.520 --> 0:06:06.599 all that kind of stuff. But I think I think 0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:09.760 they think it's trending towards he'll be available Sunday. That's awesome. 0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:12.800 What is that like from Like you said, you shook 0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:14.839 your head when you when asked if you've dealt with 0:06:14.880 --> 0:06:17.400 the strain cap but I'm certain you've been around people 0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:20.880 who have dealt with those. What is that timetable normally like, 0:06:21.080 --> 0:06:23.680 because we know Dak is normally ahead of the schedule 0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:25.159 and a cur a couple different. Yeah, I mean, I 0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:28.440 think there's there's when it comes to muscle stranger's different grades, right, 0:06:28.480 --> 0:06:30.599 So I don't think that they've released, at least I 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:33.840 haven't heard that they've released what grade of strain he has. UM. 0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:35.800 So it could be anywhere from you know you need 0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:38.120 seven days off too, it could be you need months off, 0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:41.159 depending on how severe it is. So Um, from what 0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:43.640 I'm hearing from Rob pe and and and the other 0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:46.320 murmurs around is it doesn't seem like it's that bad 0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:48.719 of a strain. Uh he did. He did just have 0:06:48.760 --> 0:06:51.479 a week off, which is awesome. Um. I doubt that 0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:53.520 he had the quote unquote week off. I'm pretty sure 0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:55.479 he was in here every day probably bands yeah with 0:06:55.520 --> 0:06:58.159 it with the training staff. So um. If it was me, 0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:00.760 I'm pinning obviously, not knowing how how severe it is, 0:07:00.880 --> 0:07:03.039 I would give him to Wednesday. The reason why is 0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:04.520 you got Monday. I don't know if they plan on 0:07:04.560 --> 0:07:08.279 practice in tomorrow too. We're just just scheduled so crazy anyways, 0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:11.920 So I would give him to Wednesday to have a 0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:14.200 couple of extra days of treatment, um and to get 0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:17.640 him back into it. Um. Because also you can get 0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:20.080 your backup ready just in case, right, you could use 0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:22.440 today as an opportunity to get your backup some reps 0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:26.040 just in case he's unable to go. He's a familiarized 0:07:26.040 --> 0:07:28.239 with the players, the guys have some confidence in the backup. 0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:31.440 All that jazz um. That's Cooper, right, Cooper, Yeah, Coop, 0:07:31.560 --> 0:07:33.360 Cooper Rush. I think I would use today to get 0:07:33.440 --> 0:07:36.920 him some reps because that doesn't necessarily need the reps today. 0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:38.760 Not saying that we couldn't, you couldn't use them, but 0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:41.040 let's get used today to get Cooper Rush ready just 0:07:41.080 --> 0:07:43.080 in case, keeping in a chamber um, and then let's 0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:45.720 reevaluated today obviously, and if he's ready to roll kicking 0:07:45.800 --> 0:07:47.320 back up on Wednesday. Have you had an injury like that? 0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:49.119 I have not had a calf strain. I've had pretty 0:07:49.200 --> 0:07:52.440 much everything else, so but calf strain I have not. 0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:54.480 I've had achilles, I've had foot, I've had knee, I've 0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:57.920 had shoulders, but never a calf. And do you think 0:07:57.960 --> 0:08:00.280 all of these things, like the calf industry, all of that, 0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:04.080 it's just a culmination of the ankle injury and trying 0:08:04.120 --> 0:08:06.320 to you never know, right, you never know. I mean 0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:09.120 you're speaking in terms of compensation, right, is he compensating. 0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:12.840 Is his body naturally compensating for his ankle um. You don't, 0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:15.320 You don't know, You really don't know. I honestly think 0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:16.680 it might have just been just a freak thing and 0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:19.600 nobody will ever know the answer to that. Just just 0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:21.360 turning and there's i mean, the angle on what she's 0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:23.240 throwing on. He's coming out, he's torking on that thing. 0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:24.720 I mean, there's a lot of ligaments, a lot of 0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:28.040 muscles in there. So it happened. But again, he's you know, 0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:31.080 he's blessed to have the amazing training staff here and doctors. 0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:33.120 These guys are the best. Yeah, they went straight to 0:08:33.160 --> 0:08:36.680 the MRI machine. That's everybody is blue Star imaging. Is 0:08:36.760 --> 0:08:41.240 it's busy, then get clear out of the waiting room. Yeah, 0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:44.560 they gonna get that. Somebody got pulled off the table 0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:49.719 from the absolutely machine. No. But but you know, we 0:08:50.040 --> 0:08:52.520 talked a lot about the second and third quarterback heading 0:08:52.520 --> 0:08:55.360 into the season because of getting rid of getting rid 0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:57.640 of of some guys and keep Cooper Rush winning that 0:08:57.679 --> 0:09:00.840 backup position. We don't want to talk about the backup 0:09:00.880 --> 0:09:04.000 position this early in the season. Hoping and praying that 0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:06.280 Dak is going to be healthy enough to play for 0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:08.800 the Vikings game. Everything is leading that way. I hadn't 0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:11.160 heard anything to the to the contrary, and so if 0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:18.000 it was, Pete would obviously give us the bad news 0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:20.640 for you. Maybe he'll give it to us. But this 0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:23.280 is game. This is definitely a game going into the way. 0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:25.400 We're gonna need Dak to be healthy because there's gonna 0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:29.320 be so much dependent on him and his legs because 0:09:29.360 --> 0:09:31.600 this this Vikings defense. As we'll get to later in 0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:33.600 the week. Boy, they for real. Yeah, you won this 0:09:33.640 --> 0:09:36.600 game last year without Dak Prescott, but everything went right 0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:39.120 for you, and everything went right for Andy Dalton and 0:09:39.160 --> 0:09:41.320 Ceedee Lamb and a couple different guys in order to 0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:44.080 win this game. This is not the same Minnesota team. 0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:46.280 They're starting to fire on all cylinders. They're pretty good. 0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:48.800 One what is it, three straight two out of the 0:09:48.920 --> 0:09:51.120 last three. I haven't really looked that far ahead yet, 0:09:51.160 --> 0:09:53.360 but three and three right, yeah? Yeah? They had their 0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:57.040 buy two yeah, and their rest rested up as well. Okay, 0:09:57.080 --> 0:09:59.240 so you don't want to have that conversation, but I 0:09:59.240 --> 0:10:01.480 think we need to have that conversation of are we 0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:04.800 comfortable at the backup quarterback spot. I don't know if 0:10:04.800 --> 0:10:07.760 I'm to the bubble guts scenario yet that we've talked 0:10:07.760 --> 0:10:10.679 about previously on this show, because the Cowboys are five 0:10:10.720 --> 0:10:13.080 and one, But I'm getting there if we're looking at 0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:16.120 an extended period of time, especially with some of the 0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:18.520 teams coming up on the schedule, the Minnesota Vikings being 0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:21.760 one of those that you could certainly lose to. Are 0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:24.439 you guys comfortable at backup quarterback a moment, I'm not. 0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:27.960 I'm you know, I'm not Cooper rush No. And you know, 0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:29.960 maybe it's all just conjecture at this point because we 0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:32.520 don't know the severity of the injury, but you know, 0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:34.839 I just I think it's the role that you're you're 0:10:34.920 --> 0:10:37.680 having right now with the five victories, the confidence that 0:10:37.760 --> 0:10:40.000 you have within the building. You don't want to compromise 0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:44.199 any of that. And you talk about last season, there 0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:46.480 was like the stars had to align, We had to 0:10:46.480 --> 0:10:48.679 have so many things go right to pull that victory out. 0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:50.520 And that was a solid game by Andy Dalton in 0:10:50.559 --> 0:10:53.439 the clutch catch by Ceedee Lamb in the end zone also, 0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:56.160 but yeah, that was nuts. What At the same time, 0:10:56.320 --> 0:10:58.880 we just have a different team, different mentality at going 0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:00.760 right now, and you don't want to see this end 0:11:00.840 --> 0:11:05.120 due to an injury. But I don't feel comfortable. I 0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:07.600 don't know. Does any team feel comfortable with their backup 0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:14.240 quarterback situations? Yeah, San Francisco, San Francisco does. But like, 0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:17.079 there're four teams with a better record than the Cowboys 0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:20.200 in the NFC right now. That's awesome and it's wild. 0:11:20.320 --> 0:11:22.920 That shows you how good this conference is. But I 0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:25.280 can't name all the backups for those teams. So, and 0:11:25.320 --> 0:11:27.640 those teams are right in the hunt, just like this team. 0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:29.680 So I don't think any teams just like, oh yeah, 0:11:29.720 --> 0:11:31.840 we're good. Dandy Dalton thing was a gift from God 0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:35.199 last year. I mean, guy, a guy that's yes, exactly, 0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:38.960 divine intervention. He's from Texas. You know that that that's 0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:41.960 not there. I think Cooper rush they have confidence that 0:11:42.040 --> 0:11:45.280 he can run the same offense. Is it idea? Would 0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:49.040 that be ideal? Absolutely not, of course not. I think 0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:51.280 they're hoping that's not going to be the case. Now 0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:53.120 if if Dak doesn't play in this game, I don't 0:11:53.160 --> 0:11:55.240 think anybody should freak out. I think they're looking. They 0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:58.080 would be taking a long term picture of like, look, 0:11:58.200 --> 0:12:01.760 let's not rush him back. This week and potentially re 0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:05.719 injure something. Oh that could be a headline, didn't you. 0:12:06.040 --> 0:12:10.079 Let's not rush him back? That might be as Nick upstairs. Um, 0:12:11.040 --> 0:12:13.640 but who feels great about your back? Honestly, if you're contending, 0:12:14.120 --> 0:12:18.360 is is anybody comfortable there? Yeah? Some teams feel better 0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:20.840 better than others. Um, you guys know how I didn't. 0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:22.480 It was no secret how I felt about the backup 0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:26.320 quarterback position here coming into the season. No disrespect to Russia, 0:12:26.400 --> 0:12:28.199 no disrespect to any of the backups in the league. 0:12:28.200 --> 0:12:30.000 Guys bust their tail to be in a position. I 0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:33.000 just feel that from what we saw in the preseason, 0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:35.640 there was nothing that gave me any indication of confidence 0:12:35.920 --> 0:12:38.400 coming into the season with him as a backup. I 0:12:38.440 --> 0:12:40.360 know he's probably working his tail off, but I just 0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:42.120 didn't see it in the preseason. I saw a lack 0:12:42.160 --> 0:12:44.600 of confidence. I saw a lack of confidence in the players. 0:12:44.600 --> 0:12:49.800 I saw the deflation of motivation by the players when 0:12:49.920 --> 0:12:51.680 when he was in a game, he just wasn't there. 0:12:52.320 --> 0:12:55.920 So I do not feel comfortable, comfortable or confident with 0:12:56.000 --> 0:13:00.880 that with that situation, So uh, let's rush back nobody? No, 0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:02.280 I mean, it is what it is, man, it's just 0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:04.520 to your point that I agree, no team wants to 0:13:04.520 --> 0:13:06.600 see their backup come into game, but some teams feel 0:13:06.640 --> 0:13:09.240 more confident with their backups. From the Dallas Cowboys. Do 0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:12.520 any thoughts to resting Dak though, I mean, like you said, Rob, 0:13:12.520 --> 0:13:17.040 if it is indeed he is inactive come Sunday, then 0:13:17.960 --> 0:13:20.760 sure it's not a freak out moment because it's still 0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:22.800 not supposed to be a long term injury. But if 0:13:22.800 --> 0:13:25.520 you're playing the long game and you're looking at this as, wow, 0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:28.800 this is a seventeen game season, let's try and man, 0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:31.000 let's try and make sure he's ready to go for 0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:34.000 the final couple weeks. Is there any thought to maybe 0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:36.720 holding him back a little bit this week? I think 0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:38.360 only if you feel like he's not going to be 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:41.120 able to function, or if there's you feel like he 0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:44.360 could reinjure this thing worse, because those soft tissue injuries, 0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:47.920 as Isaiah knows, the second time, could be a lot worse. 0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:50.800 So yeah, I mean I think from that perspective, but 0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:54.160 I don't think they look at it like let's just 0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:57.040 sit him out. I mean, he may be ready, perfectly ready, 0:13:57.080 --> 0:13:58.760 but we're just gonna sit him out, anyway, I don't 0:13:58.800 --> 0:14:01.960 think so. You mentioned seventeen games. There's only one buy 0:14:02.440 --> 0:14:05.080 in the NFC this year, and I don't care what 0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:08.199 people say. You want to advance through the playoffs without 0:14:08.200 --> 0:14:09.840 having to play a game. I know people talk about 0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:11.960 rest can be rusted and all that. I think they 0:14:11.960 --> 0:14:15.199 would take that bye. They're currently fourth best record in 0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:18.080 the NFC because they played one less game, but there's 0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:20.040 a lot of competition for that spot, so try to 0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:23.400 get every game you can. Now. The rest factor has 0:14:23.440 --> 0:14:25.800 never even entered into my mind. I think you got 0:14:25.800 --> 0:14:27.600 to have all your dogs ready to go. This is 0:14:27.640 --> 0:14:29.440 the push that we want to make. I mean, you 0:14:29.640 --> 0:14:32.240 no sense and even talking about rest at this point 0:14:32.360 --> 0:14:35.960 unless you obviously he's compromised, and if he's compromised, and 0:14:36.000 --> 0:14:38.840 obviously he's not going to put himself out there, but 0:14:39.400 --> 0:14:41.600 we're not in a position to even consider that. I 0:14:41.640 --> 0:14:43.320 would be thinking about it this man. We got to 0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:45.840 stand up on the motor right now. We got it's 0:14:45.880 --> 0:14:48.360 full steam ahead. And if every like I said, all 0:14:48.400 --> 0:14:50.680 everything that we have to play for is in front 0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:52.800 of us, and we have the team, we have the 0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:55.040 coaching staff. We've been talking about this all week. What 0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:57.680 is this the culture going to be like you and 0:14:57.800 --> 0:15:00.880 you always said this, at this one. Every body's nicked up, 0:15:00.920 --> 0:15:04.120 everybody's heard, everybody's dealing with something. It's just our turn. 0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:06.120 We just have to go forward with it. And this 0:15:06.200 --> 0:15:09.160 is such a benchmark game. I mean at Minnesota, a 0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:12.280 team that matches up pretty well with you, I mean 0:15:12.480 --> 0:15:15.960 toe for toe, they got some guys. Then you come 0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:19.480 back home for a couple Denver, Atlanta, then you're at 0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:21.840 Kansas City, which, guys, I don't know if you guys 0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:25.080 watch that game yesterday, Kansas City's what's going on? What's 0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:27.840 going on with Kansas City? What's going on with Patrick Mahome? 0:15:27.920 --> 0:15:30.960 Sixteen picks in his last sixteen games. That's not very good, 0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:34.760 is it? Well, it's crazy thing. Yeah, you know, they're 0:15:34.760 --> 0:15:37.000 a light switch away though. Yeah, that's the craziest thing 0:15:37.000 --> 0:15:39.160 about those guys. As bad as they're playing, everybody's like waiting, 0:15:39.240 --> 0:15:41.520 just like when they all right here, they got everybody 0:15:41.520 --> 0:15:43.400 to turn the corner. You just hope that's not week 0:15:43.440 --> 0:15:47.720 eleven exactly. Let's not let that happen that week. So no, no, 0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:50.160 we are not resting Dak Prescott. If he's good to go, 0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:57.760 you're going no extra rest. We're rolling Barney Rubble. What 0:15:57.840 --> 0:16:01.360 does that reference? That one? You don't know the stone flints? 0:16:01.560 --> 0:16:06.080 Oh man, that's pretty good. That is good. That needs 0:16:06.080 --> 0:16:08.600 to be a sound of fact. All right, when we 0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:11.920 come back here on talking Cowboys, winners and losers from 0:16:11.920 --> 0:16:14.840 the first six games of the year will be right 0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:19.000 back after this.

Cowboys five and one 0:19:13.119 --> 0:19:16.280 for the first time since twenty sixteen. They're doing a 0:19:16.320 --> 0:19:18.640 lot of good things at the moment, But who are 0:19:18.680 --> 0:19:22.760 winners and losers of the first six weeks of the season. 0:19:22.800 --> 0:19:24.760 I want each of you to get me one of both. 0:19:25.080 --> 0:19:26.800 It can be the same person if you want it 0:19:26.840 --> 0:19:29.320 to be, doesn't really matter. And I'll start off with 0:19:29.359 --> 0:19:32.880 heck my Harrison on this one, winner and loser through 0:19:32.920 --> 0:19:34.880 the first six weeks of the season for the Cowboys. 0:19:35.200 --> 0:19:38.040 So I went back and watched all six games. That 0:19:38.119 --> 0:19:41.080 doesn't surprise me, it doesn't surprise you. Okay, so did 0:19:41.119 --> 0:19:45.679 that man number ninety four, Randy Gregory. Man, he is 0:19:45.840 --> 0:19:48.920 a big part of the success that we're having on defense. 0:19:49.000 --> 0:19:50.840 I know Michael Parsons has gotten a lot of the 0:19:50.920 --> 0:19:55.800 highlight real moments, but ninety four is his bull rushby 0:19:56.040 --> 0:19:58.119 and the way that he's changing up certain things. And 0:19:58.160 --> 0:19:59.880 I heard him in an interview just saying that hack 0:20:00.000 --> 0:20:03.000 got to be better, uh, and certain downs of not 0:20:03.080 --> 0:20:07.880 just giving myself away with continuously continuously using the same rush. 0:20:08.200 --> 0:20:11.080 I just think he's making He's so impactful for us, 0:20:11.119 --> 0:20:14.520 and if he continues this, I know this is a 0:20:14.920 --> 0:20:17.720 contract year, but ninety four is gonna be around for 0:20:17.960 --> 0:20:21.520
