Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football clubs. Are you ready for
Speaker 1: a break? Are you ready for a break? Absolutely ready
Speaker 1: for a break? Yeah, and so much for that. It's
Speaker 1: time for the break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com with
Speaker 1: Nick Eatman and bar Garcia and Derek Eagleton. Hey guys, Lucky, Hi, Hi, Hi,
Speaker 1: are you there? You're good. You're the one with the energy. Okay.
Speaker 1: I'm glad doesn't just making making judgments on my mood
Speaker 1: after five freaking seconds. Oh, I can already tell his
Speaker 1: grumpy Dave, Well, when you're in a really good mood,
Speaker 1: you walking like dancing around and moving your arms. Always
Speaker 1: in a good mood. Always me too when it comes
Speaker 1: to that's very questionable. But all right, well, welcome back
Speaker 1: to Cowboys Break. I'm glad to have the usual cast
Speaker 1: here with me. What a blessed day, huh wow, surrounded
Speaker 1: by you guys speaking of right, I was gonna say
Speaker 1: that that's the person, okay. So I wanted to get
Speaker 1: right into the injured and then the injured injuries and
Speaker 1: shut in. Yeah yesterday. Hey, Black people that go to
Speaker 1: black churches know what I was talking about when I
Speaker 1: said that, Okay, it's something from Black Jay Man. Okay, Okay.
Speaker 1: So we've talked about all the injury to go home,
Speaker 1: all the injuries that the Cowboys have in their defense.
Speaker 1: So that is still a big question mark. So let's
Speaker 1: just get a quick update. Is there any changes as
Speaker 1: to some of the guys that we've been seeing in
Speaker 1: the injury report as far as being able to possibly participate.
Speaker 1: David or Daniel Ross, Antoine Woods, Taco, Charlton, all of
Speaker 1: them did not practice or not practicing right now. Sean Lee,
Speaker 1: Tavon Austin did not practice. Tavon Austin did more than
Speaker 1: anyone else though, of those five dancing I'm gonna say,
Speaker 1: which is to say what, Yeah, basic ask several people
Speaker 1: why is he out? They said growing, and I said,
Speaker 1: look at him right there like that. Nobody dances like
Speaker 1: in a club like that. So he's ready. He looks
Speaker 1: good to go, like he's working with in the chords
Speaker 1: with Uh. Yeah, that's a good thing, right. So they
Speaker 1: are going to probably bring up a defensive tackle Christian Ringo,
Speaker 1: and I would be surprised if it's Tavon Austin because
Speaker 1: I think they're getting him ready to come back. It's okay,
Speaker 1: So back up for me for a second. So you're
Speaker 1: saying that every single one of those defensive linemen are
Speaker 1: expected to not play, or do you think I'm saying that.
Speaker 1: I didn't say that. I'm practiced this all week. I don't.
Speaker 1: I think Malik is the only guy in that group
Speaker 1: that I would expect to play in this game. He's
Speaker 1: been limited. Yeah, I didn't even gonna say him. Okay, Yes,
Speaker 1: So the other four that have not practiced at all
Speaker 1: this week is Nah Woods, Nah, Taco, Nah Ross Nah. Now,
Speaker 1: your owner Jerry Jones did say he thought Antoine Woods
Speaker 1: has a shot to play, But I'm not seeing him
Speaker 1: as a guy that in the category of missus all
Speaker 1: three practices and plays on Sunday at that position. To me,
Speaker 1: it seems like you may that may be a position
Speaker 1: where you kind of could, right. I just think of
Speaker 1: it more as he's not at a protocol like I mean,
Speaker 1: at some point you have to get out right. But
Speaker 1: that's that's also a little different. That's also a little
Speaker 1: bit different than let's say a knee. If your knee's
Speaker 1: not feeling good today, the likely it's gonna feel good
Speaker 1: tomorrow is probably not great the protocol from from what
Speaker 1: I understand now, I don't know all the rules around it,
Speaker 1: but it's a matter of whenever you're tested, you meeting
Speaker 1: certain qualifications, which my assumption is that could happen tonight
Speaker 1: into tomorrow and then he gets you know it, could
Speaker 1: You want to get a visual of what I saw him? Sure,
Speaker 1: And he's a really nice guy, funny guy walks out
Speaker 1: of the shower, towel on. I'm giving you a visual, walking,
Speaker 1: walking slowly. He gets to his locker, sits down, stealing
Speaker 1: his towel. I won't I won't go further, but what
Speaker 1: happened with the towel? But he's sitting there and he
Speaker 1: just literally just staring in the blank, just sitting there,
Speaker 1: like looking at nobody, doing absolutely nothing, just staring at
Speaker 1: back up. Do you want another visual? Oh god, Amber,
Speaker 1: I must be sitting in the locker room staring at
Speaker 1: a guy in a towel walking. He's ahind me, still
Speaker 1: looking at still staring, and I mean, you don't space
Speaker 1: out after your shower. That's what I do, like I
Speaker 1: kind of do sometimes. Yeah, and I haven't played football
Speaker 1: in fifteen years. Are there forty people walking. Yeah, now
Speaker 1: forty other people are walking around showering at the gym.
Speaker 1: Then you know what is just saying his movement was
Speaker 1: very slow and that has nothing to do with the game.
Speaker 1: But I'm saying as he got out of the show
Speaker 1: where he got to his locker, he was just slow pacing,
Speaker 1: you know, and he seems like a guy that's who
Speaker 1: that's his way right right here here. I don't know
Speaker 1: back to okay, I'm trying to add, what are you
Speaker 1: able to count? I mean, what what are the Cowboys?
Speaker 1: That's that's trouble? What are you left with? I just
Speaker 1: typed it in here. I've got Crawford, MALIEK. Collins, Karen Reid,
Speaker 1: and Christian Ringo. Yep, m m hm wow sound I'm
Speaker 1: worried suspense. It's I mean, you've got Gregory, U d Law,
Speaker 1: Dorian's Armstrong. Is that it? Yeah? So you got seven.
Speaker 1: It's not ideal. One of these guys is going to
Speaker 1: have to play. I mean, but honestly, it's it's one
Speaker 1: of those things. Can you have a game? And the Cowboys,
Speaker 1: I know they don't do this, but can you have
Speaker 1: a game? Will you just say, look, my best two players.
Speaker 1: I need you to play more than you typically play.
Speaker 1: I need you to be out there instead of rotating
Speaker 1: as much. I'm gonna give you a breather here and there,
Speaker 1: but we're not going to start a series with you
Speaker 1: on the sideline. You are two best players. These other
Speaker 1: guys are much lesser experienced. We need you out there
Speaker 1: and on the off chance it on the off chance
Speaker 1: that somebody can't get up in time, I would ask
Speaker 1: that of Tyrone and DeMarcus, and that's I think that's
Speaker 1: probably what the it's not going to rotate as much, man,
Speaker 1: let's go, let's play. Kind of sucks too, is that
Speaker 1: you have a game coming and I know we're focusing
Speaker 1: this game, but you got another game coming up on Thursday.
Speaker 1: Point that is a great point right after it, and
Speaker 1: so you may not be able to do You may
Speaker 1: have to rotate them because you need them to be
Speaker 1: as fresh as they can for two games in four days.
Speaker 1: And if that's a really great point. If you get
Speaker 1: somebody in with a concussion in this game, I mean
Speaker 1: the protocol, I mean it's very unlikely, yeah, that they
Speaker 1: could even come back, and then that would get Dave
Speaker 1: to get back on this soapbox, which I don't disagree about,
Speaker 1: you know, Thursday games and of course Thanksgiving that they've
Speaker 1: been always going to be there yet but it's always
Speaker 1: gonna be there. It's it's tough when you start, when
Speaker 1: you're dealing with things like that, because every other situation
Speaker 1: is protecting the players and making them healthy and all
Speaker 1: this stuff. And you got ask these guys to play
Speaker 1: Thursday games every week stuff. So do we want to
Speaker 1: go through the inactis? I mean we got plenty to
Speaker 1: choose from. Sure, um Tavon and Sean Lee and and
Speaker 1: David Irving. For sure. It looks like Ross too, I
Speaker 1: would say yea, or um, Mike White. What about you
Speaker 1: guys like Joe Thomas to Conna Williams. I think they
Speaker 1: both suit up. You think they both suited up? Okay,
Speaker 1: Joe has been practicing all week and uh and Connors, Yeah,
Speaker 1: they both have been limited since since earlier this week. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's this is an interesting cause. I mean, you you know,
Speaker 1: you follow you follow unwritten rules about how this works.
Speaker 1: Mike White has been inactive every week because they don't
Speaker 1: need him. You could say the same thing. You know,
Speaker 1: Adam Redmond is another guy if Connor Williams is healthy,
Speaker 1: you would take his jersey away. But with the amount
Speaker 1: of injuries, you might suit those guys up anyway, And um,
Speaker 1: you could make Mike White active if you just absolutely
Speaker 1: need to sit one of these injured guys. It just
Speaker 1: he won't play. But yeah, so well, I mean it's
Speaker 1: it's I think it's I think Ross, Irving, Lee, Tavon
Speaker 1: and probably Taco are locks to not play, and then
Speaker 1: Woods is a guy to watch. Um Woods is Woods
Speaker 1: is the big variable for me is you know, if
Speaker 1: he can get out of the protocol by tomorrow, maybe
Speaker 1: he can play. But other than that, and then you know, Tavon,
Speaker 1: Mike White, maybe you could sit either Connor Williams or
Speaker 1: Adam Redmond. Yeah, that's what I'm looking at. It'll be interesting,
Speaker 1: will be I mean, that's a lot of guys that
Speaker 1: will be missing from your defensive line. That's a ton Well,
Speaker 1: you know, maybe this is what they look at. It
Speaker 1: one of those games that this is not one of
Speaker 1: your best running teams that you're gonna face. And they
Speaker 1: play a lot of nickel you know, I mean, I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: they play a lot of three wides. The Cowboys will
Speaker 1: be in Nickel and Diamond a lot. I don't know
Speaker 1: if that that changes, uh, the approach, but you know,
Speaker 1: I think I think it's interesting though we talked about
Speaker 1: you think Connor's going to play? I still think Suaphilo
Speaker 1: is going to get to start. Yes, that's gonna be
Speaker 1: think it should be like that. So, yeah, I heard
Speaker 1: anything else from Jerry or Jason in regards to this
Speaker 1: whole Connor in Swahilo. Jerry talked about Connor. Yeah, well yeah, Jerry.
Speaker 1: Jerry kind of talked about Connor today like a guy
Speaker 1: who lost his job. So just you know, just in
Speaker 1: the way he talked about it, he just kind of
Speaker 1: draw that conclude the same the same thing, which the
Speaker 1: same thing we've said on this show all this week is,
Speaker 1: you know, we he's a young guy. He's played up
Speaker 1: to what our expectations were. We feel great about him
Speaker 1: going forward. We think he's got the flexibility to play
Speaker 1: all five spots on the line. We're not down on
Speaker 1: him at all, which you know, I gain. I'm you're
Speaker 1: if you're being clever and thinking about what he's saying,
Speaker 1: there's a way to fit that into he's no longer
Speaker 1: I'm inferring from what he's saying that he's probably not
Speaker 1: going to be starting, rather than emphatically saying when he's healthy,
Speaker 1: he's our starter. Yeah, that's that's the spectrum of where
Speaker 1: those comments can go, right which and I completely agree
Speaker 1: for the record. I mean, you know, Jerry has a
Speaker 1: reputation of being like the optimist, even to the point
Speaker 1: that he's not always genuine. But I agree with what
Speaker 1: he's saying about Connor. I think I think he was
Speaker 1: you know, obviously he could have played better. You wish
Speaker 1: he had, but I think he was within the reasonable
Speaker 1: realm of expectations, and I thought he played well way
Speaker 1: up more often than he played poorly. I mean, I
Speaker 1: know when you when you draft that guy's second overall,
Speaker 1: a second round sorry overall, and yeah second round, you
Speaker 1: want them, you know, to come in and play and
Speaker 1: be a starter. On this line, this is this is
Speaker 1: kind of a different type of line. I mean, it
Speaker 1: wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. What if
Speaker 1: what if he is a what if he's a game
Speaker 1: day and what if he's a backup? But if that's
Speaker 1: what his role is it, there'll be times where he
Speaker 1: has to start this year. For this year, yeah, maybe
Speaker 1: going into next year and you can say, oh my god,
Speaker 1: you just wasted a second round pick. Yeah, but you
Speaker 1: stole one. If that's the case, you stole a second
Speaker 1: round pick by getting into a field if he's that good.
Speaker 1: I understand this is just one game, but but my
Speaker 1: point is is that when this line, this is a
Speaker 1: very talented line, you got a lot of money there.
Speaker 1: If you got a guy you're counting on your line
Speaker 1: to be to be, you know, to help this running
Speaker 1: game and help Dak that maybe you do need six
Speaker 1: really good ones. Yeah, especially and he's kind of cheap
Speaker 1: right now. So I don't look at it as wasting
Speaker 1: a pick. If I feel like I stole one with
Speaker 1: the second round, and because they're putting so much pressure
Speaker 1: on this offensive line by the other things that they're
Speaker 1: doing offensively, then I think it's important really for the
Speaker 1: Cowboys to continually be dropping second round, first round, third
Speaker 1: round picks on their offensive line because remember, in another
Speaker 1: what is it, two years year, Lyle Collins will be
Speaker 1: up and you've got to make a decision on him.
Speaker 1: Does this become his replacement in the event that they
Speaker 1: decide they want to move on from him. Now you
Speaker 1: move Hi back to his original position that he played
Speaker 1: in college. I think there's a lot of things to
Speaker 1: factor in on this. This is a pure hunch. I
Speaker 1: haven't had a single conversation. I don't want anybody to
Speaker 1: misread me. But I've seen this song and dance because
Speaker 1: we really think Lyles a guard. We really think Lyles
Speaker 1: a guard. Like I've heard this before and there's like,
Speaker 1: well now we kind of think he's a tackle, and
Speaker 1: you know, and they were convicted. He said, yeah, which
Speaker 1: people put that on us. They're like, oh, you guys
Speaker 1: just wrote that. Like we talk to people like we're
Speaker 1: not just pulling this out of thin air. And so
Speaker 1: you know, here and Jerry today say, you know, we
Speaker 1: like him at guard. We think he's got the flexibility
Speaker 1: to play tackle. We also, I think his direct quote
Speaker 1: was like it's just a little bit of a stretch,
Speaker 1: but we even think he could maybe play some center.
Speaker 1: I just I won't be surprised if they change their
Speaker 1: tune about what they think he is before it's all
Speaker 1: said and done. Especially and it is a big if,
Speaker 1: but if Sue Philo seems like a guy that's really
Speaker 1: an answer for them. You know, I'm not going to
Speaker 1: be surprised if in March it's like, well, he's actually
Speaker 1: really got these great feet and that makes him a
Speaker 1: great tackle. Were are the smart ones for thinking about it,
Speaker 1: and you're dumb for not thinking about it even though
Speaker 1: people have been saying it for six months. Just it's
Speaker 1: kind of keep it out. I be surprised. I won't
Speaker 1: be surprised when they said, I mean look at Byron Jones.
Speaker 1: I mean he's a tall, lanky corner. I mean of course,
Speaker 1: it's like, wait a second, that's not what you're safety's
Speaker 1: it's never a good idea until it's their idea. Like
Speaker 1: that's pretty much. Love it well, but you just gotta
Speaker 1: you know, it goes when you're talking in the public.
Speaker 1: What you say in the public is what supports whatever
Speaker 1: you want the public to know or what you want
Speaker 1: the public to buy. Am I am I wrong? That's
Speaker 1: just how it goes. Am I wrong? Right now? Well said,
Speaker 1: And it's just that's that's That's the same for a
Speaker 1: lot of things, and not just the Cowboys front off.
Speaker 1: That's a pole people. It's not a good idea that
Speaker 1: it's mine idea. Yeah, so let's go something to watch
Speaker 1: something to I think I do that. Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: I'm guilty. Event. One of the things I was thinking
Speaker 1: about is I'm really excited and I hope that so
Speaker 1: I feel is able to keep playing as well as
Speaker 1: he did against the Eagles, because that's another aspect that
Speaker 1: you're able to take off the list of excuses as
Speaker 1: to why this team is maybe not performing at the
Speaker 1: level that they should be. I thought you were going
Speaker 1: to say because he gave you the first Spanish interview
Speaker 1: since you've been here. Well, yeah, he's a great guy.
Speaker 1: But aside from that start, yeah, yeah, yeah, it just
Speaker 1: helps because you got a list of different issues and
Speaker 1: it's hard to pinpoint exactly where the main problem is
Speaker 1: coming from when you have different things happening at the
Speaker 1: same time. Now, to me, i've crossed off the receiver position.
Speaker 1: I've now I'm crossing off old line, which I had
Speaker 1: crossed off a while but according to Derek, that was
Speaker 1: a big issue. So now are you crossing this off there? Well,
Speaker 1: it's only one game, so no, I'm not crossing. We
Speaker 1: got the pen there, just over it. We're sitting there
Speaker 1: and we're thinking at this point maybe this game I'll
Speaker 1: be able to cross it. Yeah, we'll see Okay, and
Speaker 1: then now you got Now you start your quarterback on
Speaker 1: that list. He's still there. He's still there on the list.
Speaker 1: And then you still got your coaches and stuff. But
Speaker 1: to me, that's just but your quarterback is better if
Speaker 1: your offensive line and your wide receiver are in tech. Right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you feel like that's gonna make your quarterback better. Right,
Speaker 1: Those things are where everything else exactly kind of comes from. Right,
Speaker 1: You'll get much better everywhere else with those two in plays,
Speaker 1: and those guys will make those coaches look better. They
Speaker 1: absolutely will. You've already seen that. All right, Well, let's
Speaker 1: take our first break. When we come back, we'll get

Speaker 1: the Break, Welcome back to the second segment of the Break.
Speaker 1: We are ready the most awaited for a segment of
Speaker 1: the whole week game date prediction, So Nick, why don't
Speaker 1: you go ahead and do the honor, all right. I
Speaker 1: do think the Cowboys will play much better than they
Speaker 1: did last time they went to Atlanta. I think Tyrand
Speaker 1: Smith and Zekiel Elliott and Layton Vander esh because I mean,
Speaker 1: we always talked about those three guys. Was the first
Speaker 1: game that those three Lee, Tyrant and Zeke did not
Speaker 1: play affected everything? Um and now even though Lee's not playing, uh,
Speaker 1: Layton will be and Tyrn's gonna be there and Zeke.
Speaker 1: I think it'll be better. I just don't trust the
Speaker 1: fact that they're gonna stop Atlanta on the road. I
Speaker 1: think Atlanta is very similar to the Cowboys in that
Speaker 1: what team do you have or a team that can win?
Speaker 1: You know, almost beat the Saints and should have beaten
Speaker 1: the Saints or killed by the Browns. I think this
Speaker 1: is a turning point game for them. I think it'll
Speaker 1: be a tough one. I think Atlanta will win twenty
Speaker 1: eighth twenty three Atlanta. Sorry, apologize, what do you say
Speaker 1: not to y'all? Just to assistant coach? That's fair, That's fair?
Speaker 1: All right? Next? Yeah sure, I really I really hate
Speaker 1: myself for this pick because I pride myself on like
Speaker 1: show me. I gotta see it to believe it, you know,
Speaker 1: like they played really well against Philadelphia. I don't know
Speaker 1: if that's that's not good enough to be a trend,
Speaker 1: Like it's not good enough that I should trust them,
Speaker 1: but it was just so impressive. And this Falcons team
Speaker 1: is like probably even more schizophrenic than the Cowboys are, honestly.
Speaker 1: I mean, I know they have a high powered offense,
Speaker 1: there's still four and five, they're thirtieth in total defense,
Speaker 1: They're given up thirty points a game. They're much better
Speaker 1: at home, But I'm just banking on seeing that running
Speaker 1: game again. Like that's really what this all hinges on
Speaker 1: for me is if you can run for one seventy
Speaker 1: against the Eagles, you should be able to crack two
Speaker 1: hundred against the Falcons. That is going to stop even
Speaker 1: the best offense from being completely effective. I think on
Speaker 1: top of that, I've said this all week, said at
Speaker 1: Wednesday when we preview their offense. Red zone, red zone,
Speaker 1: red zone. Falcons are so good at home in the
Speaker 1: red zone. The Dallas defense has been good at stopping
Speaker 1: teams in the red zone. It's a hallmark of Rod
Speaker 1: Marinelli's um. So I think I think they're gonna find
Speaker 1: a way I didn't, you know, I was really blown
Speaker 1: away by how much better this offense looked in Philadelphia.
Speaker 1: And I think the defense, you know, if they can
Speaker 1: hold them to a field goal or two or maybe
Speaker 1: get a takeaway, I think the Cowboys can score twenty
Speaker 1: eight on these guys. I'll say they can score thirty one.
Speaker 1: And I think they can hold the Falcons to like
Speaker 1: twenty eight. I mean, it's it's not gonna be a
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a shootout, but I think they can
Speaker 1: do it. Um that would be the next highest um
Speaker 1: final score for them. They would be their highest output
Speaker 1: of the year, wouldn't right, certainly their highest output up
Speaker 1: the road. I mean, you know, they're they're they're a
Speaker 1: good team at home. They scored thirty one against Carolina,
Speaker 1: thirty seven against the Saints in a loss, thirty six
Speaker 1: against the Bengals in a loss, thirty four against the Bucks.
Speaker 1: They didn't only score twenty three against the feisty Giants defense.
Speaker 1: So it can be done. Like you know, they're they're
Speaker 1: certainly not unstoppable. And I think, like I said, if
Speaker 1: let's say they get to the red zone four times,
Speaker 1: if you can hold them to a fuel goal, or
Speaker 1: get a takeaway once. I really think that can be
Speaker 1: good enough. So eight Cowboys. As much as we've talked
Speaker 1: all week about how great the Atlanta offense is, and
Speaker 1: I really do believe they have a good offense. Last week,
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns defense held them to sixteen points. So
Speaker 1: it's not like they are so good that they can't
Speaker 1: be stopped. This is not an offense that can't be stopped.
Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys defense has played really well most
Speaker 1: of the year. This will be their biggest challenge because
Speaker 1: I don't think they faced an offense quite like this
Speaker 1: one with as many weapons as this one has. But
Speaker 1: I think it still comes back to the fact that
Speaker 1: kind of what Dave was alluding to there that if
Speaker 1: they can run the ball well, it's the age old adage, right,
Speaker 1: if you can keep if you can run the ball well,
Speaker 1: you can control the clock and you control the tempo
Speaker 1: of the game. That keeps the opponent's offense on the sideline.
Speaker 1: And if you can do that, you limit their opportunities.
Speaker 1: The more you limit their opportunities, the better the Cowboys
Speaker 1: defense will be. And so I think it goes back
Speaker 1: to if this offensive line and Zikulelli can do what
Speaker 1: they did last weekend, control the game, be able to
Speaker 1: run the ball really well, and I again I don't
Speaker 1: think that. I think they're actually playing a defensive front
Speaker 1: that is not as strong as what they played last
Speaker 1: week and they were able to have a lot of
Speaker 1: success against So I think the Cowboys can do the
Speaker 1: same thing here. This is all going to be a
Speaker 1: function of who's going to show up for both teams.
Speaker 1: Is it gonna be the best of them or is
Speaker 1: it going to be the worst of them? And we've
Speaker 1: seen both teams do that this year. Some games they
Speaker 1: show up and it's the best of them. Some weeks
Speaker 1: they show up and it's the worst of them. I
Speaker 1: actually think Dallas can can win this game, which because
Speaker 1: I think the offensive line, the way that it's constituted
Speaker 1: right now, is going to be better than it's been
Speaker 1: and I think that's the way that they're gonna win
Speaker 1: the game. I just I agree twenty Cowboys twenty four
Speaker 1: to twenty. Yep, I hate that. I agree with you.
Speaker 1: Like I said, I mean, they don't do they deserve
Speaker 1: the benefit of the doubt, But that the whole thing.
Speaker 1: If you're gonna say to do the Cowboys deserve the
Speaker 1: benefit of the doubt. Then you'd have to say the
Speaker 1: exact same thing about Atlanta, because Atlanta's as getsophrenic as
Speaker 1: the Cowboys have been good at home though, I get it,
Speaker 1: but it's been just a schizophrenic as the Cowboys. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I can make this argument either way. I do think
Speaker 1: you could say that, you know, if the Cowboys, things
Speaker 1: would have been different last year, if the Cowboys would
Speaker 1: have had those three players, I mean way different, especially
Speaker 1: at the left tackle position. And now they've got those
Speaker 1: type of players and vander esh Lee, and I think
Speaker 1: you can make that argument that Atlanta is kind of
Speaker 1: what they were last year, a little bit different here
Speaker 1: and there, but about the same. The Cowboys are way better.
Speaker 1: So fun fun fact. I know you've got to make
Speaker 1: your prediction. But the roof's going to be open, so
Speaker 1: oh I forgot they had a note. Does this change
Speaker 1: the outcome of the game. I know, I don't know
Speaker 1: what the weather is. I got to look up the weather.
Speaker 1: Let me see, I might change my pick. It's gonna
Speaker 1: be that's like forties. Oh yeah, then great, we'll sticking
Speaker 1: with it. That's perfect workout way. Yeah, that's great. It's
Speaker 1: not good. It's probably gonna be fifties. They're gonna open
Speaker 1: it up for at forty five sixty four with a
Speaker 1: low of forty one'll it'll be in the This game's
Speaker 1: at noon, so it's gonna be probably about fifty some degrees.
Speaker 1: That's perfect though it's football and sunny. It'll probably sunny too. Yeah,
Speaker 1: weather permitting, so like if it rains, I'm sure they
Speaker 1: won't open it. But something something great, So you're sticking
Speaker 1: to yeah, I mean, yes, okay, Cowboys can't playing seventy,
Speaker 1: they can't playing fifty. What's your what's your pick? You
Speaker 1: know what. I think the offense is not gonna be
Speaker 1: struggling as much as far as scoring points. It's gonna
Speaker 1: be a tough one. But I'm really curious to see
Speaker 1: how the Cowboys defensive line affects the game and how
Speaker 1: that affects the linebackers performance. At the end of the day,
Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys are gonna lose, and they're gonna
Speaker 1: lose the Falcons thirty four thirty one. Yeah, yeah, okay, okay,
Speaker 1: very simple, all right, we'll see how it goes. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we don't split very often. It's usually no, it's usually
Speaker 1: like overwhelmingly weeks ago. We think about it, though you
Speaker 1: got a four and five team going against the four
Speaker 1: and five team, it would make sense that it's probably
Speaker 1: two and two on what think's going to happen. And
Speaker 1: and like you said, we can make an argument both ways, right,
Speaker 1: but you just don't know. And then and then the
Speaker 1: Cowboys they're just obviously not consistent. So it's like, Okay,
Speaker 1: yes we saw great things last weekend, but can't they
Speaker 1: bring it over to this week? Right? And Atlanta was
Speaker 1: not good last week? But is this the week they
Speaker 1: get back on back? Like it's the same thing and
Speaker 1: both teams. Davis, where I was last week? I picked
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. I didn't really love the pick, and I
Speaker 1: really kind of wanted to back out of it, but
Speaker 1: I didn't, and I you know, so, yeah, I got
Speaker 1: the beat. You're kind of the same. But even now
Speaker 1: I don't love it. But like I do think this
Speaker 1: is a favorable matchup for Dallas. Like I said this,
Speaker 1: we did our roundtable video an hour ago, and I
Speaker 1: like the Cowboys defense odds of doing something against the
Speaker 1: Falcons offense more than vice versa. Like if this Falcons
Speaker 1: defense just shuts down the Dallas offense after what we
Speaker 1: saw in Philly. Then I don't even know. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't know. It's so weird. Then up is down and
Speaker 1: down is up because they're they're terrible. Yeah, and I
Speaker 1: know that. I mean the Cowboys have been terrible, but
Speaker 1: four hundred yards against a much better defense on the road,
Speaker 1: I mean, what's going on? It's gonna be tough. Hey, Ken,
Speaker 1: do we still have Bruce on the line, Bruce Carter? Yes,
Speaker 1: we do, Bruce Bruce from Texas. Hey, what's going on? Hey?
Speaker 1: I'd bet a question I asked one another shows this.
Speaker 1: I know this last week we used to fullback a
Speaker 1: lot more Rod Smith, and I got to think of,
Speaker 1: you know, Rut did such a job. That's you're selling
Speaker 1: in for Zeke. What about having Rob Smith and he
Speaker 1: in the backfield on the majority of the plays? You know,
Speaker 1: he could block, he can run, and he can also
Speaker 1: goal for passes. Who's he taking on? Who are taking
Speaker 1: off the field? One of the tight ends they don't
Speaker 1: do anything, so h back position, laying him up as
Speaker 1: a wide receiver. He could lead, block or whatever. I'd
Speaker 1: rather have him on the field the majority of plays
Speaker 1: in our tight ends. What about Jamay's all the wally
Speaker 1: instead of him. I mean, he's well, they could rotate
Speaker 1: a Wally and Rob Smith in and out, you know,
Speaker 1: just have both of them, one of them out there
Speaker 1: in the backfield at the same time as Zeke and rot.
Speaker 1: In the old days, we hit Daryl Johnson out there
Speaker 1: for the majority plays doing it all. So hey, we
Speaker 1: didn't have a full back out there full time. We
Speaker 1: didn't talk about it a lot. Yeah, I mean that
Speaker 1: was probably the game where Jamay's played the most and
Speaker 1: the best against the Eagles, Like he had a nice
Speaker 1: out for what they asked him to do. Um. I
Speaker 1: I don't disagree with what he's saying. I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't think they're gonna put Rod out there anymore often
Speaker 1: than they have been. But like I've been, I feel
Speaker 1: like we've been saying that a lot. Is like, have
Speaker 1: these tight ends merited the amount of snaps they get
Speaker 1: outside of Jeff Swain? Have they really? But that's just
Speaker 1: that's just what this coaching staff wants to do. They
Speaker 1: value that. So I don't think you're gonna see it change,
Speaker 1: especially you know, Dalton Schultz is getting more involved and
Speaker 1: Ricos had his moments, So I don't think they're gonna
Speaker 1: trend away from that, but I wouldn't mind seeing it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean he does give you you're talking about Rod,
Speaker 1: he gives you something a little bit more offensively maybe
Speaker 1: than what you get from those tight ends. But the
Speaker 1: thing is, if you're gonna do that, you better get
Speaker 1: the ball to him at least some of the time,
Speaker 1: because I don't think I don't think he's a better
Speaker 1: blocker necessarily than those tight ends. I think he's probably
Speaker 1: in the same boat with them. And I just kind
Speaker 1: of tried to like put him out on the edge
Speaker 1: so he's kind of like just it's one or the other.
Speaker 1: Like it's not really an appreciable difference from a blocking standpoint.
Speaker 1: But if you feel like you're gonna get a little
Speaker 1: bit more offensively and maybe getting him the ball a
Speaker 1: few times, then you better do it. Don't just put
Speaker 1: him out there as as window dressing. You better use
Speaker 1: him a little bit to force teams to recognize that
Speaker 1: he is a bigger threat than maybe the tight ends are.
Speaker 1: And if you're not going to use him and stick
Speaker 1: with you're tight end, and you'll probably be better off
Speaker 1: when it comes to just blocking. If you need to block,
Speaker 1: and I think you could also get pretty creative in
Speaker 1: certain situations because Sleek, I mean, as soon as he's
Speaker 1: on the field, you know, defenses are looking out for
Speaker 1: him and expecting him to make a play. But Sick
Speaker 1: is also a really good blocker. He's being able to
Speaker 1: make very great blocks. And if you were to do
Speaker 1: a certain place where you kind of just get a
Speaker 1: little creative and you seek as a blocker instead for
Speaker 1: one and maybe sneak rod Smith somewhere, you might you
Speaker 1: might get something out of I mean, think about if
Speaker 1: you had. You know, teams are already starting shade a
Speaker 1: little bit over to the side where a Cooper is.
Speaker 1: So let's say they're shading a little bit over there,
Speaker 1: and let's say you send Rod out into the other flat.
Speaker 1: And let's say then you put Zeke somewhere in the
Speaker 1: middle of the field. You stress this defense sideline the
Speaker 1: sideline now and if they choose to say, we're not
Speaker 1: going to worry about Rod Smith. A rod has a
Speaker 1: little bit of ability. We've seen him take it to
Speaker 1: the house before, So get the ball out there in
Speaker 1: the flat to him and see what he can do
Speaker 1: with he He's a big body on top of that.
Speaker 1: So I just think you got to use him. If
Speaker 1: you're gonna do that, you better use him or it's
Speaker 1: not really worth it. If yeah, all right, let's take
Speaker 1: our final break. When we come back, we'll keep answering
Speaker 1: some of y'all's questions. So keep calling, keep sending tweets,
Speaker 1: and we'll get to them. Well, the player can look

Speaker 1: Back to the break, Nick, you know what, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: talk about the NFL Draft really quick next year next
Speaker 1: h It's actually first day starts April twenty fifth. It's
Speaker 1: a Thursday. I don't really know yet. Nashville is not
Speaker 1: in Dallas because they got other stuff going on here.
Speaker 1: But you know what, Tommy's John. Tommy John is very
Speaker 1: similar to the Cowboys first round next year. There's no
Speaker 1: reason to pick. That's what Tommy John. That's what they're
Speaker 1: really trying to hope for. When it comes to weggies,
Speaker 1: you don't have to do that. You don't have to
Speaker 1: adjust because they've got the best underwear in the world.
Speaker 1: No reason to pick, says, never pick again. So when
Speaker 1: it comes to the Cowboys first round, same thing. They
Speaker 1: won't be doing that, we don't think. But get Tommy John.
Speaker 1: Make sure you go to Tommy john dot com Fort Lacy.
Speaker 1: Would you get twenty percent off your first order. I
Speaker 1: know it's a stretch, but you know what to do

Speaker 1: Tommy John's matches too. It contours to your body, you know,
Speaker 1: gets elastic, and yeah, you would think you might want one.
Speaker 1: Can't because we need to get on to one. Some
Speaker 1: of those You can sitting. I'm just saying, so you
Speaker 1: can just sit in comfort instead of a wet towel.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, Okay, moving on. Here's a question from
Speaker 1: Twitter guy. Poor guy had no idea. You know, I'm
Speaker 1: just imagining, like hearing it. If my post shower, if
Speaker 1: my post shower routine got put on blast on the radio,
Speaker 1: I would not be very happy. Hey, he is not
Speaker 1: being put on blast. I'm just saying I just don't
Speaker 1: want people talking publicly about what I do after I
Speaker 1: get out of the shower, you know, like when you're cancust. Yeah, concut, Okay,
Speaker 1: thanks a lot. Now you're making me feel horrible. It's fine.
Speaker 1: I need to go apologize. You guys are so mean
Speaker 1: coming out of the shower and I put it on
Speaker 1: the radio. Sorry, what's your question? What's the question? Thank you?
Speaker 1: Here's the question. In regards to Noah Brown. We have
Speaker 1: talked about him quite a while, and then we finally
Speaker 1: got to see some of him on the field, which
Speaker 1: wasn't necessarily didn't really didn't Claver. It played like a
Speaker 1: guy who hadn't played football in a while, right, right,
Speaker 1: didn't play great from Noah. I mean, what are some
Speaker 1: of the expectations and thoughts about him and what he
Speaker 1: could possibly do in the upcoming games? You know, it's funny,
Speaker 1: I know how you felt. I'm the Noah Brown guy,
Speaker 1: and I'm not trying to defend him too much. He
Speaker 1: had I think he had two. Really just can't have
Speaker 1: those types of penalties lining up in the wrong spot.
Speaker 1: Did he have a false start too, He had two penalties,
Speaker 1: and he had a couple of block miss block where Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's kind of he just was rusty and he I
Speaker 1: don't blame him as much as I blame the coaches
Speaker 1: for thinking he'll be fine. Just put him out there. Well,
Speaker 1: rusty is a good word, and that's you know, we
Speaker 1: talked to Jason Garrett. We we talked to Jason Garrett
Speaker 1: about every little inane wrinkle of the game, like nothing
Speaker 1: is too small for us to not turn it over,
Speaker 1: and you know that came up. And just from listening
Speaker 1: to him, I don't think they're gonna give up on him.
Speaker 1: I think, if anything, they're like, yeah, he was rusty,
Speaker 1: he needs more playing time and he'll get acclimated and
Speaker 1: he'll be fine. So I don't know exactly what his
Speaker 1: role is going to look like, but I think he'll
Speaker 1: he'll have a part to play in this game. I don't.
Speaker 1: I think they really like what he can do, like
Speaker 1: as a blocker and his potential as a receiver, and
Speaker 1: I think they're going to give him opportunities to be
Speaker 1: better and I and I agree with that that they should.
Speaker 1: I just thought it was getting in that first half,
Speaker 1: it was getting to a point where you know, surely
Speaker 1: they're not going to let him continue to struggle like
Speaker 1: this because you know this this is offense, has always
Speaker 1: been a struggle in Philadelphia, and they're doing some nice
Speaker 1: things and he's kind of he was derailinging it early.
Speaker 1: But and we've seen how the penalties, how much they
Speaker 1: can get down there. But I think he calmed down
Speaker 1: a little bit. I didn't really see him. He did
Speaker 1: too after a little bit. Your exact quote was get
Speaker 1: him out of the game. It was that Nick or
Speaker 1: Mickey both right, You were not you're going to see
Speaker 1: doing anyway? Go ahead, Yeah, but I don't think you
Speaker 1: give up on him. And you know, look for him
Speaker 1: if he's on the field every single time as the blocker.
Speaker 1: I mean we see it. Everyone sees it. I'm sure
Speaker 1: the guys that do quality control for the Falcons also
Speaker 1: see it. So at some point, like you said about
Speaker 1: rod Smith, I mean, at some point, you're gonna do
Speaker 1: something different with it. It's gonna have to go down
Speaker 1: the field and make a you know, throw the ball
Speaker 1: to him. All right, Joseph wants to know, do you
Speaker 1: guys think that our first offense play against the Clana
Speaker 1: is gonna be a play pass play, first offense play
Speaker 1: against it Clana be a pass play. How about a play? Yes? Um,
Speaker 1: I mean it kind of because I could see it
Speaker 1: going just play action pass. It's a bad secondary, they
Speaker 1: know the Cowboys? What about what about both? What like
Speaker 1: a relief? We leave here we go? I mean I
Speaker 1: don't always associate that word with you. Everyone does too.
Speaker 1: Every time it happened on any game in college, pro,
Speaker 1: high school, Nick's gonna get tweeted one. Just the other day.
Speaker 1: Did you see the Auburn game? You know, somebody Auburn, Tennessee.
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, like they ran it for forty seven
Speaker 1: yard touchdown. I'm like seeing it works, play action pass?
Speaker 1: Do it all? Right? Do you guys expect and we
Speaker 1: talked about this too, do you guys expect the Cowboys
Speaker 1: to have someone follow Hud Jones around? Not really? I
Speaker 1: maybe maybe you know, Julio moves around so much, he's
Speaker 1: incredibly versatile. Um, you might see it more so than
Speaker 1: than others, like especially in sub packages and stuff like
Speaker 1: if it's dime or something, you know you don't want
Speaker 1: Julio lined up on I'm not trying to throw shade
Speaker 1: at Jordan Lewis, but you might prefer to have your
Speaker 1: number one corner on their number one in a just
Speaker 1: body type two. Yeah, I mean, um, but I think
Speaker 1: for the most part, I think they're gonna play their game.
Speaker 1: Get Garrett. I wish Garrett loves to talk about this
Speaker 1: Seattle defense and that they just they play their defense
Speaker 1: like they trust their men to handle their assignments and
Speaker 1: they do. They just straightforward, it's simple and well, that's
Speaker 1: what they run. Now, that's what Chris Richard's specialty is.
Speaker 1: And so I and Rod doesn't like doing that. I'm
Speaker 1: not saying I agree with it, because that's Garrett's mantra too,
Speaker 1: like he believes you stick to it and you keep
Speaker 1: doing it, if you do it long enough, then it's
Speaker 1: eventually go. But now let's let's just go to Atlanta
Speaker 1: on on Wednesday night and they're talking about it, like,
Speaker 1: here's the thing, guys like cowboys are gonna do what
Speaker 1: they do. That's what they do. There's it's simple. Like
Speaker 1: you just said, it's simple for them to understand. It's
Speaker 1: definitely simple for us to pick apart. So what we're
Speaker 1: gonna do. We're gonna change things around. We know they're
Speaker 1: not doing anything. Geta will be there and Byron Jones
Speaker 1: will be there. But what we should do is move
Speaker 1: a guy here. And you know, I mean, like when
Speaker 1: everything is so simple, when the scheme is so simple,
Speaker 1: it's also simple to fix. You're out, No, and that.
Speaker 1: But the point of it is, and not saying that
Speaker 1: I agree with this, because by the way, I don't,
Speaker 1: But the theory here is that if you do the
Speaker 1: same thing and it is simple, you'll be so good
Speaker 1: at it that it doesn't matter what they throw at you.
Speaker 1: You're that good at explaining what you do, but that
Speaker 1: it won't matter. But why was Seattle so good on defense?
Speaker 1: Why it wasn't I mean, yeah, yeah, the Legion of
Speaker 1: Boom and all that stuff. They were great. They got
Speaker 1: after the quarterbacks ass They brought five or six different
Speaker 1: guys and they they they brought them in all the time,
Speaker 1: rotated and made a great rotation. And that's where it
Speaker 1: comes to. And I'm looking at the injury report and
Speaker 1: every guy, you know, the depth, it's all on there.
Speaker 1: So it's if you can you can play that way.
Speaker 1: It's that we do what we do when you know
Speaker 1: that defensive line is going to get after the quarterback. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that don't. If it's not as consistent then then it is.
Speaker 1: Sometimes you do have to to wrinkle things up a
Speaker 1: little bit. That's that's my thought. I actually I think
Speaker 1: that they're right it. You can do what you do
Speaker 1: if you're insanely talented. Seattle's defense was generational. Rod's defenses
Speaker 1: in Chicago had Peppers or Locker Briggs and Peanut Tillman,
Speaker 1: so as they were in Tampa Bay. If you got
Speaker 1: those guys, you can absolutely do what you do. If
Speaker 1: you don't, you should probably mix it up a little bit.
Speaker 1: So I don't think Byron needs to shadow Julio, but
Speaker 1: maybe follow him a little bit. I certainly would like
Speaker 1: to see some blitzing in this game, especially with how
Speaker 1: you know, depleted the D line is. I don't know
Speaker 1: if they're gonna do that. Doesn't Julio go into slot,
Speaker 1: He goes everywhere. So that's the other part you have
Speaker 1: to think about when you say you're going to travel
Speaker 1: a guy, how do you feel about it, even if
Speaker 1: he's your number one guy? How do you feel about
Speaker 1: him playing in the slot if he's not a customer
Speaker 1: plan in the slot. That could be a bit of
Speaker 1: a challenge for him. And that's why I think this
Speaker 1: makes sense is Julio is like, as close as a
Speaker 1: wide receiver gets to a tight ends build, Byron's done that. Yes,
Speaker 1: you have to go into inside to play tight ends.
Speaker 1: Byron's got a lot of experience doing that. True, Anthony
Speaker 1: Brown's got plenty of experience playing on the outside too.
Speaker 1: We've seen that going back to his rookie year. So
Speaker 1: you don't think there's a big jump for them to
Speaker 1: do it from a standpoint of Byron having to adapt
Speaker 1: to moving to all they and I don't. I don't
Speaker 1: think that means Byron needs to play across from Julio
Speaker 1: on all sixty five snaps. I just I think it
Speaker 1: would be smart for him to give it a world. Yeah,
Speaker 1: sometimes I agree it. We'll see if they actually do that.
Speaker 1: I honestly don't think that. I think he will a
Speaker 1: little Like like I said, he's not going to follow
Speaker 1: him all over the field, but I think he will,
Speaker 1: Like if he goes inside, you might see Byron follow him.
Speaker 1: I don't think it'll be enough to be noticeable. I
Speaker 1: think we'd have to go back and be like we'll
Speaker 1: be after the game. We will say like, oh, did
Speaker 1: he do that? He do it a couple of times
Speaker 1: he lined up. You'll see it on Twitter or the
Speaker 1: first time it happens, he'll see it. One he'll see it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's eighty you knows of what happens on the play, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that'll be where you figure out and stuff and they're like, wait,
Speaker 1: who was trying to cover him on that play? And
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, now Byron's covering him and
Speaker 1: it starts changing. Now we know. Yeah, so all right,
Speaker 1: I'm hesitant whether to ask another question or not because
Speaker 1: Shannon comes do it. Nobody cares about Shannon. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: That was perfect. All right, last question and yards to
Speaker 1: Dalton Schultz. Can you speak about him? He seems like
Speaker 1: he's got a toe hole on the offense to hold
Speaker 1: to toe hold, I don't know what that means. He is, like,
