It 10 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,519 Speaker 1: is Cowboys versus Eagles week, so there's a lot we 11 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:42,880 Speaker 1: gotta talk about. Dave's gonna give us a scouting report 12 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,560 Speaker 1: on the Eagles offense a little later in the show 13 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,319 Speaker 1: tomorrow we'll get to the defense. But first I want 14 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,519 Speaker 1: to talk a little bit about some injuries. There have 15 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 1: been quite a few guys, five in particular, who've missed 16 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 1: several games. And after kind of going through the gauntlet 17 00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 1: of what the Cowboys have to go through when they 18 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 1: get to Thanksgiving every year, that game than Thanksgiving Day, 19 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 1: than the game after um, and then having that ten 20 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 1: day break, UM, I'd like to catch everybody up on 21 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 1: what you guys think right now regarding these five players. Now, 22 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 1: I understand you may not have a definitive word, so 23 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:15,319 Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw out the name. What I really want 24 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,200 Speaker 1: you to just tell me is what's the last thing 25 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 1: you've heard on this guy and where is he right 26 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 1: now in his in his progression to come back. So 27 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:25,399 Speaker 1: let's start first with Sean Lee. That's the sorry, go ahead. Well, 28 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,680 Speaker 1: I was just gonna say, the last thing I've heard 29 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 1: is what just just not at practice today? Not practice? 30 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,679 Speaker 1: That's what what you know was happening. It's actually happening 31 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 1: right now. You were there for Garrett and maybe the 32 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 1: walk off he might have had a little bit more 33 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,039 Speaker 1: about what their plan is. With Sean, Uh, he's not 34 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 1: practicing today. Keep an eye on him the rest of 35 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 1: the week. That's kind of what I was gonna say 36 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 1: is It's a funny thing, is you know Sean said 37 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 1: he's optimistic he can practice this week. That turns into 38 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 1: you know, he's gonna get his starting job back, and 39 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: what are we gonna do with these linebackers? And uh, 40 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 1: he still needs to practice, and so we'll see how 41 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 1: that for the rest of the week. Um, but yeah, 42 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: he's he's not out there to start. So, and the 43 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: interesting thing I heard yesterday when Jerry was talking about 44 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 1: Sean Lee was he talked about him, but then he 45 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: also said, we're not going to rush him back. And 46 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 1: they've been saying that throughout this We're not rushing this thing. 47 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,680 Speaker 1: We're not going to rush him back. So my assumption 48 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 1: has always been until he gets to the point where 49 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,800 Speaker 1: he's practicing fully and I mean fully for a week, 50 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: I would be kind of shocked if I see him play. Yeah. 51 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 1: I don't think this is one of those situations where 52 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:29,800 Speaker 1: God gets to Thursday or Friday and maybe can go 53 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 1: through walkthrough, so you run him out there on Sunday. 54 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 1: I think they're going to be very very cautious with 55 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,079 Speaker 1: this because they don't have a need to force him back, right, 56 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: I would agree with that completely. Yeah, and so, but 57 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 1: but that's good that that sounds good for them. You know, 58 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 1: Sean Lee's probably wanting to come back and play. Yeah, 59 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 1: but he doesn't make the decision. No, he doesn't. But 60 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 1: I mean it's well, it's great. I mean, Witt made 61 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 1: a decision for fifteen years. Whitton is different. We know 62 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: that Whitnines has done things that I don't know, but 63 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 1: I don't think is gonna be out on the field 64 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 1: saying late and go back, go back, like they send 65 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 1: him in. He's like, no, no, I'm not ready to 66 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 1: come off the field. You go back. Jason dictated a 67 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: lot of games that other players don't get to dictate. 68 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 1: And no, I mean Jason didn't deal with a lot 69 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:16,679 Speaker 1: of severe injuries injuries period, right, he dealt with him. 70 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 1: He dealt with him playing a little bit a little 71 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: bit different though, I mean, Sean is all you know, 72 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 1: when Sean's hurt, it's stuff you can't play through, right, 73 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 1: um and so and yeah, I mean you know, if 74 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,959 Speaker 1: if they were playing without him the way they played 75 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 1: without him last year, he probably it would be a 76 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 1: different story. But that's not the case. All right, let's 77 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 1: move on Tyren Smith. He was out there today limited 78 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: participants A good sign, yes, Um, and that's different Wednesday. Yeah, 79 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: probably won't be like truly full the rest of the year, 80 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: if I had to guess. I mean, even even if 81 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: it says he does everything like they're you know, he's 82 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 1: he's he's Tony Romo. Now he's you know, they're gonna 83 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 1: watch him. They're not going to give him a heavy 84 00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 1: workload during the week. I know, like that, that's weird. No, 85 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: I'm thinking of yesterday, like with Tyrant, Like I just 86 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: he's walking in the locker room and I mean just 87 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 1: walking him. He looks he looks pretty good, and he 88 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 1: looks like he's ready to go. But he's one of 89 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 1: those guys. Nice guy. He really is a nice guy. 90 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 1: But he's he's kind of got that mentality all the way. 91 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 1: Like he's one of those guys that's walking, you know, 92 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,359 Speaker 1: and you're kind of in the path, and like you 93 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 1: need to move or you're gonna get hit. I mean, 94 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 1: it's a fre there's not like, well excuse me. He's 95 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 1: just like walking, you know, and you're like excuse me, sorry, 96 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:37,479 Speaker 1: because if you don't, then he's gonna just that's the 97 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 1: path he's taking, you know what I mean. He's not 98 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,159 Speaker 1: like rude about it. It's just like I'm not really 99 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 1: moving And if you knock you down, he'd probably help 100 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: you up. Maybe, No, I think he would. He's a 101 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:46,600 Speaker 1: nice enough guy. I think you would help you up. 102 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:48,720 Speaker 1: He's just like I would suggest that you get out 103 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:52,040 Speaker 1: of the way, okay, maybe just don't like you. No, 104 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: I mean, it's not even a dislike he likes everybody. 105 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,720 Speaker 1: That's I mean, he's he's a super nice dude. But yeah, 106 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: like he's he focused. Is that the word we're looking for? Focus? 107 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 1: Like blunt, Like you know, like when he's in a 108 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 1: great mood, he's like, hey, tire, what's going on? Good? 109 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 1: Just like he's a man in a few words, he's 110 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,599 Speaker 1: a man of action. Yep. That's a good good or bad. Yeah, 111 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: it's a good thing. Wow, I I I think he 112 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,719 Speaker 1: it's Wednesday. I don't have to assign playing time, but like, 113 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 1: but you can give me an opinion. This is this 114 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 1: is why I think this is why he didn't play 115 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,840 Speaker 1: against the Saints. I think you know, they're gearing him 116 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:28,600 Speaker 1: up for this and I would be pretty surprised if 117 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 1: he doesn't play in this game. Okay, too awesome, Jeff Swain, 118 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 1: I would be surprised if he plays. He I mean, 119 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,159 Speaker 1: I understand you can take like like wraps and stuff 120 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 1: off your hand, but it's not a full fledged like 121 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: cast that like the whole team has signed. But like 122 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: it's it's it's like pretty hefty. Yeah, it's a cast. 123 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,600 Speaker 1: I mean, and he's not a defensive player. He is 124 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,839 Speaker 1: an offensive. Yeah, he has to catch it. Just it 125 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 1: just doesn't look like he's playing in three days. They 126 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 1: saw him in the locker room and he's just no, 127 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: I can't imagine that, all right, Taylan Austin the day 128 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 1: dancing man didn't seem a practice. He was not a 129 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 1: he's not practicing. I'm I hate. I don't want to 130 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 1: say I'm surprised, because again, you know, you don't I 131 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,600 Speaker 1: don't know these injuries. I'm not tavan. I don't know 132 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,600 Speaker 1: how he feels. But you know he's been missing since 133 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 1: the Jaguars game. Yeah, I got hurt. And he's been 134 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 1: out since so mid October, so you're talking like six 135 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,720 Speaker 1: weeks at this point. You had the extra week for 136 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 1: him to not be practicing at all like it is. 137 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 1: It is kind of surprising to me, but you know, 138 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,479 Speaker 1: it's a groin injury for a fast twitch guy whose 139 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: entire skill set is based on his speed. So, and 140 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 1: I've seen all kinds of ranges when it comes to 141 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 1: groin injuries. I mean, you remember Black in the Day, 142 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 1: that groin injury that that Terrence Newman had that was 143 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 1: sounded like it was pretty nasty. Uh, didn't Mo have 144 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,600 Speaker 1: one at one point that I ended up in surgery 145 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: or something. Well, I mean memory serves on Terrence Newman, 146 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: I mean that that that was more than that wasn't right. 147 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,719 Speaker 1: But I'm saying it's so from what I understood. And 148 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,479 Speaker 1: again I'm not a doctor, but I don't think but 149 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 1: it started as a groin injury and somehow ended up 150 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 1: in an abdomen Yeah, that's somebody. Somebody told me within 151 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 1: the last week that Tavon's thing was so severe that 152 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: he felt it up in his oblique and I just 153 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 1: wanted to curl into a ball, like, oh my god, 154 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: like that sounds so pain. And then it reminded me 155 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 1: when he got hurt in that game. He literally like 156 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 1: kind of crawled off the field and was just on 157 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 1: the sideline like in a heap watering like I can 158 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 1: imagine why you felt that way, Like that sounds. I 159 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: guess My point is, like groin injury, when you hear growing, 160 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 1: don't just assume it's just your average every day. This 161 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 1: ain't like I got a little pain down here. It's 162 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,559 Speaker 1: my thigh. It hurts, you know, like it's a little 163 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 1: more so it's hard to It's hard to unless you 164 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 1: know the medical prognosis is hard to really know. Yeah, 165 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 1: but so's he's still not practicing. It's it's never good 166 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 1: if you're not practicing on Wednesday. I hope we didn't 167 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 1: reinjure it. You know why, You're just all on this 168 00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 1: dancing thing. Like I'm just telling you. It doesn't look 169 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 1: look like he's that hurt. But he he he's dancing down, 170 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 1: getting down out there down. Yes, he's like Dave at 171 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: training camp. That's literally I mean Dave. Dave could pull 172 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 1: a growing way better what he does, way better than me, 173 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 1: but same basic lists. Yeah, okay, um, David Irving, No, no, 174 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: I know, yeah, I just I don't see it anymore. 175 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 1: That's you know what I think. You don't think this 176 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: year he's gonna be back. They get a playoffs, he's 177 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 1: back by the end. At this point, we can has 178 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: a better chance of playing. Wow, I just start that 179 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 1: MS already didn't start thanks to some people out there somewhere. 180 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 1: I don't know. I it's clear. I mean, you know, fans, 181 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: Fans are not stupid like you, Like you follow the team. 182 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 1: You can tell the difference between Like I sprained my ankle, 183 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,079 Speaker 1: but I'm at practice every day. I'm working out on 184 00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,839 Speaker 1: the side, like there's pictures of me. I. I haven't 185 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:04,319 Speaker 1: seen David Irving since the Tennessee game, I don't think, 186 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 1: and therefore I know the fans haven't seen him. Uh, 187 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,839 Speaker 1: and like it's different. There's there's something almost like he's 188 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 1: on IR like with Terence Williams, Like I don't expect 189 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 1: to see him, so I don't see him. Yeah, but 190 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 1: but I'm I kind of wonder if, yeah, if it 191 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,200 Speaker 1: feels I mean, does it feel like that to you guys, 192 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 1: like almost like he's on IR and just kind of 193 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 1: isn't really a surprise, like you know when he was 194 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 1: kind of missing time and you kind of thought he 195 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 1: might come back for a little bit, and then it 196 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,079 Speaker 1: wouldn't surprise me if he got hurt somehow and then 197 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,839 Speaker 1: didn't play. I mean because because the difference is is 198 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,199 Speaker 1: the checks are still coming in now. Um, I just 199 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 1: it just doesn't surprise me at all that this is 200 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 1: going on. And I think I think this is I 201 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 1: don't know why the Cowboys haven't done more than this, 202 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 1: like maybe either release him. But as a as a 203 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: vested veteran, I mean as a veteran, if he is, yeah, 204 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 1: here Week one did his contracts guaranteed? Right, Well, he 205 00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 1: wasn't here for a week one technically, I don't know 206 00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,560 Speaker 1: how how that works, but he wasn't hearing well, yeah, 207 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 1: as a restricted I don't even know he's a restricted 208 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 1: free agent. I'm not really sure. But at this point, 209 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,199 Speaker 1: you're only talking about like, yes, you're not saving any 210 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 1: money as a point. No, no, you're not saving any money. 211 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: But you just get a roster spot, you get a 212 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,200 Speaker 1: guy that can practice for you, and you know, and 213 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 1: if he signs with another team, so be it. I mean, 214 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 1: are all the problems going to go away that he's 215 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 1: dealing with and all that stuff? I mean, I don't know. 216 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 1: I don't know if he's going to do that. And 217 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: you know there's well maybe he would sign with another 218 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 1: team and get a chance to make a playoff run. 219 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 1: I don't, Well, the hottest teams in the league right now, Yeah, 220 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 1: this on one of the hottest humans in the league. Yeah, 221 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 1: I want to speak. I want to speak clearly because 222 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,679 Speaker 1: I mean, as far as I'm aware, Rico Gathers has 223 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 1: not been a problem for the Cowboys since I mean 224 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 1: this year. While we call it probably like a hard 225 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 1: guy to deal with, like as far as I know, 226 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 1: he's been a model citizen. But it reminds me. It 227 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 1: reminds me of the Rico situation, where it's like, like, 228 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 1: you know, maybe you could do something with his roster spot, 229 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 1: but like the fear of letting him be somebody else 230 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 1: is talented player is what keeps him around base or 231 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 1: the chance that he comes back and just kind of 232 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,679 Speaker 1: actually can give you something that church significant. Like they've 233 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 1: seen him come in and be able with relatively little work, 234 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 1: be able to make a difference, and they may be thinking, 235 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,439 Speaker 1: maybe he gets it together and actually shows up ready 236 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 1: to do something, and we're we're week seventeen heading into 237 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 1: the playoffs. That's valuable, right, And I mean, you know, 238 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 1: Antoine Woods is playing great, Daniel Ross and Karan Reid 239 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 1: have given you something, Malie Collins and Tyrone Crawford, so 240 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 1: like you're not just dying at that position where you 241 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 1: need to do something else. But yeah, they have to 242 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 1: be frustrated. And I don't know the ins and outs, 243 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,560 Speaker 1: but it's weird because I mean, that's a I'm sure 244 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 1: it's a painful injury, but it's a routine injury in 245 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 1: the sense that like the guy shouldn't just be off 246 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 1: the radar, you know, like and he is habbed. Yeah, 247 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 1: and just to be clear, he's off the radarf for us, 248 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,679 Speaker 1: there is a possibility that he could be working out 249 00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: with the trainers absolutely the evening and nights when we 250 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 1: aren't there and around and don't have access to that 251 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 1: area of the building. Who knows, But I just want 252 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 1: to make make aware that there is a possibility that 253 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 1: he's still doing those things, just not doing them when 254 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,680 Speaker 1: the media or when we're around. Yeah, you know, it's possible. 255 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,080 Speaker 1: It's possible, but it's a it's a fishy situation. Just 256 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,440 Speaker 1: when you've been around a football team and covered the 257 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,960 Speaker 1: way injuries are handled.

I like, you're Jimmy john 329 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 1: I drive fast like I do seventy five, if not 330 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 1: faster anytime I'm on a highway and you have blown 331 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 1: past me before, Like it was. I saw you the 332 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 1: other day and we were both coming out of here, 333 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 1: and Dave, can you guess what Dave was doing as 334 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 1: he's driving? Eyebrows? Those are two good rapping. Rapping and 335 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:14,080 Speaker 1: dance rapping. I was like, yeah, as Dave, that would 336 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 1: be Dave. All right, let's jump into it. Dave, give 337 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,720 Speaker 1: us your your scouting report on these Philadelphia Eagles in 338 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 1: their offense. The fun thing about division games is we 339 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 1: already did this once, so you know you kind of 340 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 1: have an idea of what to look for. Um, it's 341 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 1: been a month, you know, I mean obviously a month 342 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,440 Speaker 1: is a long time. Like. The biggest difference for me though, 343 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 1: is just Josh Adams. That's that's a name to know, 344 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 1: and he's not He's not like lighting the league on fire. 345 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 1: But you know, without Jayagie, they seem to have found 346 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 1: their feature back in him. Um he I wrote it 347 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 1: down somewhere on one of these pieces of paper. Uh, 348 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 1: I swear to god, I did. Oh. Yeah. He started 349 00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 1: the last three games at running back. He's averaging sixteen 350 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 1: carries and said York seventy four yards per game in 351 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,160 Speaker 1: that stretch. Two hundred and twenty two of his three 352 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 1: hundred and eighty four yards this season have come in 353 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:10,959 Speaker 1: the last three weeks. So clearly they've found something they like. Um, 354 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 1: he's a he's six two, two thirty. He's a big guy. 355 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 1: He's got deceptive agility. He's good at bouncing the ball outside. 356 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 1: So what's up Layton Vanderesh and Jalen Smith? Another big 357 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,920 Speaker 1: challenge for you that I mean, he looks like a 358 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:28,720 Speaker 1: tough guy to corral. I mean, if he gets to 359 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,680 Speaker 1: the second level, that's problematic. So that's that's probably the 360 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 1: biggest difference. Darren Sprowles is back. Shockingly, though he did 361 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 1: not catch a pass in this Washington game, he had four. 362 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,160 Speaker 1: They using him the same role the third downs primarily. Yeah, 363 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:44,760 Speaker 1: well they were, I mean they were so they were. 364 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 1: I mean they still do a committee. Corey Clement still 365 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 1: gets a decent amount of carries and receptions and then 366 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 1: they can bring Sprowls in. So yeah, I mean they 367 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 1: use running backs in that third down roll. It wasn't 368 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,960 Speaker 1: Sprowls here. He had four carries for twenty two yards. 369 00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:59,439 Speaker 1: I have to imagine they're going to try to use 370 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 1: him as us though. That's what he's so good at. 371 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 1: Clements got eighteen catches on the year. No, I'm sorry, 372 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 1: twenty five. And Wendell Smallwood is another guy who they 373 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,200 Speaker 1: used a lot as a receiver. So you can use 374 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 1: Scrolls in that role if you want to. That's what 375 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 1: I would imagine they would do, which is why it's 376 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:21,399 Speaker 1: surprising that they didn't against Washington. Zach Ertz. I mean, 377 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:23,680 Speaker 1: if you watched the last game, I don't need to 378 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:25,720 Speaker 1: say anything. I didn't realize this. Nick and I talked 379 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 1: about it this morning. He's, barring an injury, he's gonna 380 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 1: break Jason Witten's record for our receptions by a tight end. 381 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,359 Speaker 1: Did you hear the really cool story they said during 382 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,679 Speaker 1: the game the other night? During the Monday night game, 383 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,359 Speaker 1: I was at the Christmas party, not paying attention to 384 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 1: the game, so I was running a little bit late 385 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,399 Speaker 1: because of somebody else with But beside the point, they 386 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:48,280 Speaker 1: were talking about the fact that it was Jason Witten's 387 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,159 Speaker 1: last game, and zach Kurtz had told him multiple times 388 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,639 Speaker 1: over the years, man, you were the guy looked up 389 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 1: to thank you for being the role model for me, 390 00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 1: Like you were the guy really wanted to be like. 391 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:00,359 Speaker 1: And they got to the final game and it was 392 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 1: a game last year at Philly and uh and and 393 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 1: Jason at Jason says he had never taken part in 394 00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 1: jersey swap. That day he decided to let zach Ertz 395 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,639 Speaker 1: have his jersey. So Zach Kertz not only got his 396 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,199 Speaker 1: final game, but the only game that he ever did 397 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:19,440 Speaker 1: a jersey swap. Zach Ertz has the jersey makes you 398 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:20,960 Speaker 1: kind of wonder, and then he's gonna get the record 399 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 1: makes you kind of wonder if Whitten knew he was 400 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,960 Speaker 1: done playing football maybe or was at least sidering it. No, 401 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,000 Speaker 1: I would think absolutely not, or he wouldn't have done that. Yeah, 402 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 1: I don't think. But for a guy that that would 403 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 1: why would Zach Hurtz get your final jersey? Well, if you, 404 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 1: if you want to do it from a standpoint, I 405 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 1: think of it like this, if he was looking at 406 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,920 Speaker 1: himself and in his place as a tight end, and 407 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,440 Speaker 1: this is kind of yeah, I mean like maybe that 408 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 1: was and he and the guy he has a lot 409 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 1: of maybe he has a lot of respect for the guy, 410 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 1: and he's like, here you go, go take it. I 411 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 1: think I think twenty four hours before Jason Witton was 412 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,720 Speaker 1: over there doing the inner the press conference. I think 413 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,719 Speaker 1: he was he had decided he was playing, and then 414 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,680 Speaker 1: he decided he's not playing. So I don't think on 415 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,199 Speaker 1: that last game of the year, you're well, you're right, 416 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 1: I don't want to speak. Maybe he didn't in his mind. 417 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 1: I don't think he had made up his mind that 418 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:10,360 Speaker 1: he was done playing football, but it was at least 419 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,200 Speaker 1: in his mind that it might be his last, because 420 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:16,399 Speaker 1: otherwise he doesn't even do the tryout for if it 421 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 1: wasn't even something that he was considering at that point. 422 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 1: What a game to go out on though, starters shut 423 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 1: out the champs right now, there you go, great game. 424 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,359 Speaker 1: I mean, Urtz is unreal though ninety three. He's at 425 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,440 Speaker 1: ninety three, so he needs seventeen. He caught fourteen again, 426 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,359 Speaker 1: four points last seventeen and four. I mean he's catching 427 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 1: something like nine balls per game. And I mean, like 428 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 1: I see is their offense. He is end out about it. 429 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,200 Speaker 1: I think. You know, I'll due respect to Travis Kelsey 430 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 1: in Kansas City. I think he's the best all around 431 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,920 Speaker 1: tight end in football right now. He's not He's not 432 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:48,119 Speaker 1: like this smaller blocker, but he's good enough. He's I mean, 433 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:53,959 Speaker 1: he's basic. Yeah, he's way more athletic. I wasn't covering 434 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:58,040 Speaker 1: the team in Witten's hey, but I think he's more 435 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 1: athletic than Witten ever was. Witten was never that athletic. 436 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,399 Speaker 1: He's he is, he can play. He's basically a big 437 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 1: wide receiver who can block adequately. Does he wham the nose? 438 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 1: I don't know if he can wham the nose as 439 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:12,600 Speaker 1: well as Wit, but and you guys explained what that means. 440 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 1: Fans out there heard this story. It's Jason Garrett's second 441 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 1: favorite story about Witton besides the hy option story. And 442 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,639 Speaker 1: just you know, he's Jason Witten. He's been to ninety 443 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,399 Speaker 1: Pro Bowls. Like, you don't need him to eat, like 444 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:27,520 Speaker 1: to take on the nose guard on that he does 445 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,200 Speaker 1: a block on the nose. Special teams play. No, this 446 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 1: is just a it was just a regular where he 447 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,360 Speaker 1: and he goes in motion. He supposed to wham the nose. 448 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:36,040 Speaker 1: Tried to get the other tight end to do it, 449 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:37,720 Speaker 1: and Witten was like, you don't think I can wham 450 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:39,360 Speaker 1: the nose, Like, what the hell's wrong with you? Yeah, 451 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 1: we do. We're trying to. I can wham the nose. 452 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,639 Speaker 1: There's the next play. As we talked about a little earlier, 453 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 1: Wit got to do what he wanted to do pretty much. Yeah, um, no, 454 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,560 Speaker 1: Wit can wham the nose, but he can't split out 455 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 1: wide and run a slant and catch the ball like 456 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 1: he's freaking true. Alshon Jeffrey which zacharyots can do a 457 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 1: touchdown in the Super Bowl? Yeah, or whatever you want 458 00:21:58,080 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 1: to call it. It was a it was a touchdown. 459 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 1: But saying that play right there, we never saw Whitten 460 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 1: do that. He just absolutely eats over the middle of 461 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:08,120 Speaker 1: the field all routes, any routes. But he's all. He's 462 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,680 Speaker 1: got the athleticism. He runs like deep crossers and stuff 463 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 1: that you see receivers do. He can do it all. 464 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,639 Speaker 1: As far as I'm concerned, he's He's the most important 465 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 1: part of this matchup from a defensive standpoint. Obviously you 466 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 1: saw that if you watched the last game. Keep doing 467 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:28,440 Speaker 1: it or which Nixt got him on his fantasy team it. 468 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,399 Speaker 1: You know, Brian wrote about this this morning, is they 469 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,440 Speaker 1: didn't do this last time. But do you consider moving 470 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 1: Byron Jones inside and letting him deal with it. He's 471 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,359 Speaker 1: done that before. He's had success against a lot of 472 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 1: tight ends, including Arts for the millionth time. It doesn't 473 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 1: seem like something that Rod Marinelli and Christopher Shard liked doing. 474 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 1: But you know, however, I think a big difference. Though 475 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:50,639 Speaker 1: you talked about Adams the runner, I think one of 476 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:52,920 Speaker 1: the bigger differences right now with the Eagles is that 477 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 1: Tate is now starting to look more like the golden 478 00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 1: Tate we've seen before. He wasn't that first game. He's 479 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 1: kind of he's doing what slow slow start for him. 480 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:05,880 Speaker 1: He's got eighteen catches for one hundred and eighty two 481 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 1: yards since they traded him, and almost half of that 482 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,360 Speaker 1: production came on Monday night. He finally had the game 483 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 1: that they were hoping for from him. He's kind of 484 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,359 Speaker 1: limited before that. So yeah, I mean, that'll be interesting. 485 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 1: And that's one extra guy that you got to worry about, 486 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 1: which I mean he's probably well, no, he's honestly, he's 487 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:24,879 Speaker 1: he's not their best receiver because they do still have 488 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:26,920 Speaker 1: all Shan Jeffrey. He's not lighting the world on fire, 489 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 1: but he's a big, talented guy, which it sounds great 490 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,680 Speaker 1: to move Byron, but then you're asking somebody else to 491 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:34,920 Speaker 1: deal with a six three receiver. But I think I 492 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 1: think here's the thing that consider here is that we 493 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,480 Speaker 1: hadn't been used to the Cowboys making the kinds of 494 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 1: adjustments on defense where they say, Okay, we're going to 495 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 1: try to make these create these matchups that we like 496 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,639 Speaker 1: rather than just letting offense dictate. And they did it 497 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,399 Speaker 1: in this last game against New Orleans. They specifically did 498 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 1: some deep things defensively that we hadn't even seen before 499 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:55,800 Speaker 1: because they were trying to to affect that offense. And 500 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,399 Speaker 1: so my question for you guys is is this offense 501 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,520 Speaker 1: that the Eagles have it has a similar number of 502 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 1: talented offensive weapons. When you look at the receivers and 503 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 1: Jeffrey and Golden Tate, and you look at Darren Sproles, 504 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:08,879 Speaker 1: who is a unique guy that can come out of 505 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 1: the backfield, and you look at Zach Erst, who is, 506 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 1: as Dave says, the best tight end in football. They've 507 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,400 Speaker 1: got an array of guys and different kinds of guys. 508 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:18,520 Speaker 1: What makes you think the Cowboys don't look at that 509 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 1: and say, hey, maybe we make some adjustments and do 510 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:22,680 Speaker 1: something a little different, even if it means taking Byron 511 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,719 Speaker 1: Jones and throwing him on their best option to limit him. 512 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 1: And if we can limit him, we fuck the rest 513 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,159 Speaker 1: that offense. It's not going to be as good. I 514 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,879 Speaker 1: don't like Byron Jones on Earth's because I don't like 515 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,280 Speaker 1: because you still you're talking about a number one receiver 516 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:37,920 Speaker 1: in Jeffrey A Golden Tate has been a number one 517 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,200 Speaker 1: Nelson Aguilars was a first round pick. I think he's 518 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 1: you know, he's not doing great things, but he's he's fine. 519 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 1: He's fine. He's not living up to the building of 520 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,480 Speaker 1: his pick. But I think I would put Jordan Lewis 521 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,879 Speaker 1: on Earth's really, Oh, that would be a heck of 522 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,240 Speaker 1: a draw for him. He gives up a lot of 523 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,920 Speaker 1: side I'm playing basketball here. We're not going to get rebounds. 524 00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 1: I mean, like, no, but if the balls being thrown 525 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:00,480 Speaker 1: up high, is he really going to be able affect that? 526 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 1: I think so? How you act like every play is 527 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 1: a jump ball to the corner. No, that's not what 528 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 1: I'm saying. I mean, like, that's not what I'm saying. 529 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,160 Speaker 1: Way quicker than Nerts, so he can get to whatever 530 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:12,680 Speaker 1: he's trying to do. He I mean, he's not gonna 531 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:14,920 Speaker 1: just like out move him with his hips. He's gonna 532 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:16,720 Speaker 1: be right there now. If the ball is up in 533 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,120 Speaker 1: the air, yeah, that's fine. But he's not Rico. That's 534 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:22,200 Speaker 1: gonna just like ask his way back in and no. 535 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,719 Speaker 1: But I think the reason why Byron, the reason why 536 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 1: Byron Jones could play tight ends is because Byron Jones 537 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:29,879 Speaker 1: has extremely long arms. I get so he might not 538 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:31,560 Speaker 1: be as tall, but he has really long arms and 539 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 1: he can right. So I don't think guy's just as 540 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,640 Speaker 1: quick and he can stay with Kamara. Then he's gonna 541 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 1: any kind of double move that Earth's is gonna do, 542 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 1: He's gonna be right there now. He's gonna have to 543 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:44,120 Speaker 1: go up and get it. I mean, I just think 544 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 1: it's a good It's be a good man if every 545 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 1: pass is up in the air. If the Eagles see 546 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 1: Jordan Lewis on Earth, don't they It's like every time 547 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,440 Speaker 1: I jump balls for the rest of the night, I'll 548 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 1: take my chances. He's not the most accurate quarterback ever. 549 00:25:58,280 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 1: I guess I just look at it as we just 550 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 1: talking about the volume that they try to feed arts. 551 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:04,960 Speaker 1: I think if you can disrupt that, and if that 552 00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:08,120 Speaker 1: even means taking your best cornerback and putting him on him, 553 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,880 Speaker 1: if you can disrupt that, then it makes that entire 554 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:12,840 Speaker 1: It puts a lot more pressure on than the entire 555 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:16,160 Speaker 1: offense to do something different than they typically do. I saw, 556 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 1: I want to say it was I remember it was 557 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:20,520 Speaker 1: a key to leave. I don't remember what team he 558 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 1: was on, but they were playing the Patriots years ago, 559 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 1: and they put it basically, they lined him up across 560 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,159 Speaker 1: from Gronk pretty much the whole day, and that offense 561 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,480 Speaker 1: it had some hard times, like trying to figure out 562 00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 1: and at that time, the Patriots offense was really Gronk, 563 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,440 Speaker 1: like he was their best playmaker. Gronk. Gronk might still 564 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,199 Speaker 1: be the best tight end in football. He's just been 565 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,280 Speaker 1: hurt so much recently. I didn't think of even when 566 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 1: he's healthy, though he hasn't this year. He's not the 567 00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:46,480 Speaker 1: same dude. The injuries, Yeah, maybe they're mounting to the 568 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:48,199 Speaker 1: point where he's just not the same. I feel all 569 00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:50,720 Speaker 1: right saying ERTs, but like Gronk Gronk's a Hall of Famer. 570 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 1: He is, no doubt, no doubt about that. I could 571 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:57,000 Speaker 1: live with Buyer and dealing with arts, and then that 572 00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:00,560 Speaker 1: means Cheeto probably has to cover alshon jeff Free because 573 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,920 Speaker 1: I mean Jeffrey's size bothers me. I still think about 574 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:07,960 Speaker 1: that twenty thirteen game. Jeffrey and Brandon Marshall were just 575 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,920 Speaker 1: out jumping the Dallas secondary on it felt like every 576 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:15,480 Speaker 1: snap Um and then Anthony Brown, I feel like he 577 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:19,359 Speaker 1: could cover Golden Tate. That's Tate. Tate's scary just because 578 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 1: he moves around so much. He's there. You know, this 579 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:23,920 Speaker 1: offense doesn't look like the Saints in terms of the 580 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,639 Speaker 1: amount of pre snap motion, but they do. They do 581 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:30,440 Speaker 1: nobody but yeah, but they do that, and Tate is 582 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:32,280 Speaker 1: usually the guy that does it because he you know, 583 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,560 Speaker 1: he can go out outside, he can laugh in the slot, 584 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 1: he moves into the backfield and does just you know, 585 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,600 Speaker 1: trying to move the defense around and show the offense 586 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:41,639 Speaker 1: a look, you know, see what they're looking at. So 587 00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:45,800 Speaker 1: he's the guy to watch there. Um Carson Wentz certainly 588 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:50,240 Speaker 1: not having an MVP caliber season, but he's a very 589 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:53,680 Speaker 1: scary guy because he is he's he's really good. He's 590 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:58,000 Speaker 1: a good pocket passer um and he's he's not a 591 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:02,919 Speaker 1: mobile quarterback, but he has the mobility to extend plays 592 00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:06,119 Speaker 1: and turn it into playground football, which is always a 593 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 1: stressful thing to watch. So let's take our second break. 594 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:11,520 Speaker 1: When we come back, I do want to talk a 595 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:13,080 Speaker 1: little bit about the offensive line. I want you to 596 00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,199 Speaker 1: tell us a little bit about what's happening there, how 597 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,159 Speaker 1: they're looking regarding their injuries relative to when the Cowboys 598 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:19,359 Speaker 1: played him the first time.

All right, 693 00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:11,520 Speaker 1: let's jump back in, Dave, we were talking about the offense. 694 00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:14,080 Speaker 1: You've given us a good assessment of their skill positions. 695 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:16,760 Speaker 1: Let's talk about the offensive line. No, you're absolutely right. 696 00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:18,760 Speaker 1: I mean, that's it's fair to say I buried the 697 00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:24,080 Speaker 1: lead because you think back this this offensive line was struggling. 698 00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:26,720 Speaker 1: The last time they played Lane Johnson didn't play. He's 699 00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:29,560 Speaker 1: still dealing with some stuff. So that's something to watch. 700 00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:31,600 Speaker 1: But you know, Jason Peters is expected to play in 701 00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:34,040 Speaker 1: this game. Isaac sue amalo I hope, I said that 702 00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:38,480 Speaker 1: right is back. Um. I know pro football focuses and everything, 703 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:40,520 Speaker 1: but it can give you a gauge. And they were 704 00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:44,760 Speaker 1: ranked as the best run blocking and the fifth best 705 00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:47,760 Speaker 1: pass blocking line in the league. For this past week. 706 00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:51,040 Speaker 1: They they mauled Washington. They they put up for that's 707 00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:53,320 Speaker 1: a good defensive front. Yeah. They put up one hundred 708 00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:55,440 Speaker 1: and thirty rushing yards on him, four hundred and thirty 709 00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:58,840 Speaker 1: total yards, did not give up a sack. Uh. And 710 00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:01,479 Speaker 1: that's I mean, if you can protect Carson Wentz suspect. 711 00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:03,440 Speaker 1: You know, if he can extend plays and he's not 712 00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:05,760 Speaker 1: got guys collapse in the pocket on him, that's trouble. 713 00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:09,080 Speaker 1: So this is quiet. I mean they were the best 714 00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:11,320 Speaker 1: offensive line in the league last year, big part of 715 00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:13,880 Speaker 1: why they won a Super Bowl. Uh. If if they 716 00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,279 Speaker 1: can round that back into for him, it's it's gonna 717 00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:19,399 Speaker 1: be something to watch. Although Lane Johnson is still something 718 00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:20,960 Speaker 1: to watch. I'm not sure if he's gonna be back 719 00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:24,560 Speaker 1: for this game. Jason Peters left that last game. Jason, 720 00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:28,560 Speaker 1: Jason Peters, Trent Williams, and Tyrone Smith are all quietly 721 00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:31,680 Speaker 1: like the same guy. Like they're they're so good, so good. 722 00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,359 Speaker 1: But you every week you're like seeing how play? What's 723 00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:37,160 Speaker 1: Oh he's got another problem? Like he broke something out 724 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,640 Speaker 1: right now right try Williams had to go to the hospital. 725 00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:44,640 Speaker 1: H he did. He didn't fly home to DC after 726 00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:47,160 Speaker 1: the game in Dallas because he like broke his ribs. 727 00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:50,279 Speaker 1: So yeah, all three and all three of them are tough. 728 00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:53,920 Speaker 1: They're just guy warriors. Yeah. I mean, Jason Peters is 729 00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:57,839 Speaker 1: what probably like thirty six and Skin's gonna win another game. 730 00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:02,359 Speaker 1: I wouldn't on it. You know, when people were saying, 731 00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:04,759 Speaker 1: maybe we should hope for the Redskins to win this game. 732 00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:07,520 Speaker 1: I can I can see why. I get it. As 733 00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:09,840 Speaker 1: soon as Sanchez became their quarterback, it was like I 734 00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:11,480 Speaker 1: want more, Yeah, I want to see more of that. 735 00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:14,920 Speaker 1: Well yeah, okay, for for the reader, I everything I 736 00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:17,480 Speaker 1: said about that game, I said with the thought that 737 00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:20,600 Speaker 1: Colt McCoy was going to be playing quarterback for them, 738 00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,800 Speaker 1: not Mark Sanchez. Could not have seen that coming. But 739 00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:27,359 Speaker 1: I still you know, it's the way it worked out. 740 00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:29,600 Speaker 1: It's right in front of you, Like, beat the Eagles 741 00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:31,279 Speaker 1: at home. If you can't do that, what are you 742 00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:33,560 Speaker 1: even complaining about it? Like it's going to get tougher 743 00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:35,920 Speaker 1: than that, Yeah, any the Eagles at home. To be 744 00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:37,640 Speaker 1: honest with you, all those teams that are right there 745 00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:39,839 Speaker 1: in the mix for not only the division but also 746 00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:44,240 Speaker 1: for the wildcard, teams like Cowboys have the easiest schedule 747 00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:47,200 Speaker 1: I think by far of any of those other teams 748 00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:48,960 Speaker 1: that are in the mix that have as much talent 749 00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,520 Speaker 1: as the Cowboys do. So you're right, if you can't win, 750 00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:52,640 Speaker 1: and if you can't do what you need to do 751 00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:54,400 Speaker 1: it get in the playoffs at this point, this that's 752 00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:57,120 Speaker 1: on you. If you're like, you know, in college basketball, 753 00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:59,360 Speaker 1: maybe you build up a lead in the standings and 754 00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:01,399 Speaker 1: hang on and then you're like, well we've lost three 755 00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:02,640 Speaker 1: in a row, but we're still two and for Like, 756 00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:04,439 Speaker 1: it doesn't work that way in the NFL. You don't. 757 00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,239 Speaker 1: You don't coast into the playoffs by not winning games. 758 00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:10,080 Speaker 1: That doesn't happen. So just go beat the Eagles at home. 759 00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:12,880 Speaker 1: Ye it would be nothing better than not only putting 760 00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:16,040 Speaker 1: yourself in but putting them out right. That's always the best. 761 00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:20,160 Speaker 1: It's insane, like the swing. It's like, it's a ninety 762 00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:23,080 Speaker 1: eight point five percent chance you make the playoffs if 763 00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:25,040 Speaker 1: you win this game, and it drops to like sixty 764 00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:27,480 Speaker 1: two percent. If you don't win this game, you probably 765 00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:30,160 Speaker 1: won't win the tiebreaker against the Eagles if you get 766 00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:32,520 Speaker 1: If they lose to the Eagles and then they ended 767 00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:34,920 Speaker 1: up being tied, the Eagles are going to have an 768 00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:38,480 Speaker 1: advantage on you because they they're that wouldn't make them 769 00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:40,520 Speaker 1: four and one in the division and you're three and 770 00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:43,040 Speaker 1: two and they got to just play the Redskins and 771 00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:45,360 Speaker 1: you gotta play the Giants just to tie them. So 772 00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:47,280 Speaker 1: it's not like they would have to lose the Redskins. 773 00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:48,840 Speaker 1: You'd have to beat the Giants. It's not likely that 774 00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:51,399 Speaker 1: you're gonna win a tiebreaker on the Eagles. If they're 775 00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:53,600 Speaker 1: good enough to come down here and beat the Cowboys, 776 00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:57,000 Speaker 1: then you can't. They're good enough to beat at least 777 00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:59,120 Speaker 1: one of the Rams and the Texans to agree with that, 778 00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:01,080 Speaker 1: And that's what I was saying. If they get on, 779 00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:02,960 Speaker 1: if they beat the Cowboys, to me, they are officially 780 00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:05,320 Speaker 1: on a role, and we saw when they were on 781 00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:07,560 Speaker 1: a role last year. They beat a lot of good 782 00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:10,040 Speaker 1: teams down there going into the playoffs and in the playoffs. 783 00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:13,279 Speaker 1: So it's this team. This game will tell me a 784 00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:15,160 Speaker 1: lot about one of these two teams. Yeah, one of 785 00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:17,440 Speaker 1: these two teams I think will be poised to be 786 00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:20,560 Speaker 1: able to do something in the playoffs. It's you know, 787 00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:22,759 Speaker 1: you don't need to be I mean, it's better if 788 00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:24,480 Speaker 1: you are, but you don't need to be a good 789 00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:26,920 Speaker 1: team until December, like if you if you can just 790 00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:30,360 Speaker 1: hang around the conversation till the last like five games. 791 00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:32,920 Speaker 1: We've seen those teams a lot a lot of times. 792 00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:35,839 Speaker 1: You don't want to peak too early, though, No, you don't. 793 00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:38,440 Speaker 1: The Cowboys have done that because all those years that 794 00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:41,680 Speaker 1: Romo was good. He didn't hardly lose in November, but 795 00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:44,399 Speaker 1: it was get to December and then it was like, yeah, 796 00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:47,960 Speaker 1: but I well not Romo. Well, Romo kind of he 797 00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:50,200 Speaker 1: put that narrative to bed. I got. I can't say 798 00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:51,440 Speaker 1: he put it to bed, but he had a really 799 00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:54,560 Speaker 1: great December in twenty fourteen. And then the twenty sixteen 800 00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:58,239 Speaker 1: team obviously they just rolled over everybody. Yeah, except do 801 00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:00,279 Speaker 1: you think the Giants When you say that, were you 802 00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:02,799 Speaker 1: thinking about the New Orleans game and thinking that maybe 803 00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,600 Speaker 1: that was their peak moment and that maybe somehow you 804 00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:07,439 Speaker 1: fall off from them. I'm just saying, like you're talking 805 00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:09,439 Speaker 1: about the Eagles are official on a role like who cares? 806 00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:11,680 Speaker 1: Because the Saints were on a ten game streak, and 807 00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:13,640 Speaker 1: then if that, if the Eagles were to beat the Cowboys, 808 00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:15,279 Speaker 1: and the Cowboys were on a roll too. So I'm like, 809 00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:17,359 Speaker 1: you can get beat every week even if you're hot 810 00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:19,440 Speaker 1: right now. The league is set up to the point 811 00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:21,520 Speaker 1: where you kind of start feeling good again and then 812 00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:23,919 Speaker 1: you drop off. So the Eagles are gonna lose again 813 00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:27,520 Speaker 1: maybe a couple of times. Maybe I don't like him 814 00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:30,719 Speaker 1: at all, Okay at all? Like I'm just sitting here, 815 00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:35,200 Speaker 1: I'm like, yes, I you know, I don't hate much, 816 00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:38,480 Speaker 1: but I hate them. I'm gonna start calling you famber 817 00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:44,080 Speaker 1: doesn't really work if it was an end instead never mind. Yeah, 818 00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:47,560 Speaker 1: I want them to lose really bad. Well, and I 819 00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:51,319 Speaker 1: hope everyone listening is like, yeah, good. I mean you're 820 00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:56,759 Speaker 1: speaking their language, because absolutely there's you know, everyone hates them. Yeah, 821 00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:00,920 Speaker 1: I think that's fair. Educate me on this, because I mean, 822 00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:05,000 Speaker 1: I'm I'm not a lifelong Cowboys fan. I'm still relatively 823 00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:07,120 Speaker 1: new to this whole thing, but like I am under 824 00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:12,480 Speaker 1: the impression that, uh, the the Cowboys quote unquote biggest 825 00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:15,840 Speaker 1: rival kind of changes with who's the best. I mean, like, 826 00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:19,040 Speaker 1: the Eagles just won a Super Bowl. They've been good 827 00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:21,239 Speaker 1: more often than not for most of the time that 828 00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:24,960 Speaker 1: I've been here, whereas the you know, the Giants have 829 00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:29,000 Speaker 1: been pretty trash other than one season where they were 830 00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:31,480 Speaker 1: the wild card. And but you know, when the Giants 831 00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:33,799 Speaker 1: were winning Super Bowl, weren't they the Cowboys biggest rivals 832 00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:37,000 Speaker 1: winning super Bowls? Excuse me, and it's been a long time, 833 00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:39,920 Speaker 1: but when the Redskins were really good in the eighties 834 00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:42,960 Speaker 1: and the early nineties, and weren't wasn't that, Like, I mean, 835 00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:46,320 Speaker 1: people talk about Cowboys Redskins like you've like, this is 836 00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:48,000 Speaker 1: one of the most important rival reason in football, and 837 00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:50,239 Speaker 1: I'm like, really, because it seems like it lacks used 838 00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:53,239 Speaker 1: to me. So my point and then for every person 839 00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:55,040 Speaker 1: that says that, though, there's somebody that's like, no, it's 840 00:39:55,080 --> 00:40:00,759 Speaker 1: always the Eagles. The Packers and the Vikings have I 841 00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:03,239 Speaker 1: have a good rivalry going on two and and and 842 00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:06,239 Speaker 1: that that's kind of like the Cowboys and Eagles, or 843 00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:09,839 Speaker 1: maybe Cowboys and Giants. But when when both teams are good, 844 00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:12,560 Speaker 1: Packers and Bears take you way way back. Yeah, And 845 00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:14,960 Speaker 1: that's what I think the Cowboys Redskins is. Whenever the 846 00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:18,000 Speaker 1: it's it's they're they're good, then you bring back like 847 00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:21,400 Speaker 1: this is the real rivalry. But these other teams have 848 00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:24,839 Speaker 1: come in. There's just more disrespect with the Eagles both 849 00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:28,440 Speaker 1: there and I mean, it's the most venomous of the degree. 850 00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:31,759 Speaker 1: And I started with a start the people, that's the 851 00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:36,400 Speaker 1: people in Phillies. There's no there's no respect in this rivalry. 852 00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:38,520 Speaker 1: I feel like there's at least some respect in the 853 00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:40,920 Speaker 1: Giants and Redskins, right, So that's why I don't like 854 00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:44,759 Speaker 1: the Eagles, they're they're fan base. It's just them. And 855 00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:47,640 Speaker 1: then the Raiders. I don't like the Raiders either, but 856 00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:51,880 Speaker 1: those are I love Tutors, Oh, I love. I mean, 857 00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:54,440 Speaker 1: they're terrible right now, Jeremy. I just that's why I 858 00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:58,879 Speaker 1: love the black Hole and the Yeah, the Raiders are great, 859 00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:01,600 Speaker 1: but best uniforms in the NFL for my money. The 860 00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:03,960 Speaker 1: interesting thing about it, though, is that I don't think 861 00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:06,359 Speaker 1: anybody is as big and this I hope this comes 862 00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:08,560 Speaker 1: off the sounds the right way, but nobody is as 863 00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:13,160 Speaker 1: big a rival. Everybody perceives the Cowboys a big arrival 864 00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:16,239 Speaker 1: than the Cowboys perceived them. What I mean by that 865 00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:19,279 Speaker 1: is this week in Philadelphia, all over the city, what 866 00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:21,759 Speaker 1: they're saying is Cowboys, we Cowboys with Cowboys week, Like 867 00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:24,600 Speaker 1: they go crazy getting ready for the Cowboys game, and 868 00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:28,200 Speaker 1: fans get into a fury over Cowboys games. And I 869 00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:29,839 Speaker 1: think it's the same thing in New York. I think 870 00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:32,000 Speaker 1: it's the same thing with the Redskins. There is this 871 00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:34,680 Speaker 1: hatred for the Cowboys that I don't know if it's 872 00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:36,719 Speaker 1: the same level of hatred. Now, don't get me wrong, 873 00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:39,319 Speaker 1: Cowboys fans will hate these teams, but I don't think 874 00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:41,919 Speaker 1: it's as venomous as you guys are saying with any 875 00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:43,560 Speaker 1: of those teams. I don't think there is just like 876 00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:47,160 Speaker 1: this such a despise. And I think it's probably because 877 00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:50,080 Speaker 1: for so long, and I'm talking about back in the 878 00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:54,839 Speaker 1: seventies nineties, the Cowboys were so good that I think 879 00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:58,080 Speaker 1: the team, the fans of those cities just absolutely absolutely 880 00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:01,800 Speaker 1: hated them, and I think that's created that level of venom. 881 00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:03,600 Speaker 1: And the Cowboys are always kind of sitting on the 882 00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:05,680 Speaker 1: perch kind of like in those years, at least sitting 883 00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:07,160 Speaker 1: on the perch kind of like, yeah, you hate us, 884 00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:11,280 Speaker 1: but it's got like Houston too, Houston fans hate the Cowboys. 885 00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:14,360 Speaker 1: Cowboys care less about to think about it like this. 886 00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:17,960 Speaker 1: There's thirty two teams that live in this country. I 887 00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:20,320 Speaker 1: mean that the thirty two teams, and yeah, one of 888 00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:25,040 Speaker 1: them has this this nickname. No. Yeah, so it's like 889 00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:27,839 Speaker 1: when we're here too, I mean like kinda no, there 890 00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:30,840 Speaker 1: are literally no one likes that America's team when this, 891 00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:33,520 Speaker 1: when the Cowboys roll up on your schedule, it doesn't 892 00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:37,080 Speaker 1: matter if you're in the AFC West, Like when we 893 00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:39,799 Speaker 1: went to Denver last year, I just I remember being 894 00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:43,040 Speaker 1: taken aback, Like why do y'all care so much? Y'all 895 00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:45,600 Speaker 1: hate so we play all like once every four years. 896 00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:47,880 Speaker 1: Like like the signs on the highway leading to the 897 00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:51,160 Speaker 1: stadium were like beat the Cowboys. They shot just slams, 898 00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:53,839 Speaker 1: Like where's this coming from? Why do y'all care? There 899 00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:56,840 Speaker 1: is just read I read something the other day about 900 00:42:57,040 --> 00:43:00,799 Speaker 1: and from a colts um. It was a Indianapolis paper, 901 00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:03,000 Speaker 1: I guess Indianapolis Star, and they were talking about Darius 902 00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:05,160 Speaker 1: Leonard is not going to win Rookie of the Year 903 00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:07,840 Speaker 1: because I mean because he doesn't wear a star in 904 00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:09,560 Speaker 1: his helmet. It's basically what they said. He doesn't wear 905 00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:10,880 Speaker 1: a star in his helmet, and he's not going to 906 00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:14,640 Speaker 1: be able to compete with Layton Vanderesh, which when you 907 00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:16,440 Speaker 1: look at the rankings right now. I saw something on 908 00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:20,439 Speaker 1: ESPN and Vanderesh is the fourth best rookie for Rookie 909 00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:22,759 Speaker 1: of the Year voting, which means I think there is 910 00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:24,960 Speaker 1: something to be said for that. Like then, the visibility 911 00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:27,080 Speaker 1: of the Cowboys plays a role in that, and that's 912 00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:29,160 Speaker 1: why when they're good, they send so many people to 913 00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:32,040 Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl, and it certainly will help Layton Vanderesh, 914 00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:36,560 Speaker 1: But I don't think that's completely true because a dude 915 00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:39,560 Speaker 1: that plays for the most unseen team in the NFL 916 00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:41,680 Speaker 1: is probably gonna win Defensive Rookie of the Year, and 917 00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:45,120 Speaker 1: that's Darwin James. Like they get out sold in their 918 00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:48,480 Speaker 1: home stadium every you think part of this because the 919 00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:51,520 Speaker 1: Cowboys are kind of looking at him, and so fans 920 00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:56,840 Speaker 1: kind of knew about him because the Cowboys. I'm just asking, 921 00:43:56,920 --> 00:44:00,120 Speaker 1: I think that's because he's bawling the hell out, no 922 00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:02,600 Speaker 1: doubt about it. I'm just saying, though, I do think 923 00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:04,719 Speaker 1: there is something to that. Neby not that and that's 924 00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:06,080 Speaker 1: a that's a little bit, that's a little bit, that's 925 00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:07,960 Speaker 1: all over. But I'm just saying, though, I do think 926 00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:10,440 Speaker 1: there is something too. I saw a clip somebody sent 927 00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:13,200 Speaker 1: me a clip just yesterday and it was it was 928 00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:15,600 Speaker 1: a it was a national media person talking about the 929 00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:18,760 Speaker 1: Cowboys and just saying, like, think about it from this perspective. 930 00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:21,840 Speaker 1: If tomorrow, if at the end of this season, Belichick 931 00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:24,239 Speaker 1: and Brady both said we're done, we're out, do you 932 00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:26,239 Speaker 1: think that the networks are gonna be next year as 933 00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:29,600 Speaker 1: they start putting together schedule like clamoring for we want Patriots. 934 00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:32,359 Speaker 1: We want Patriots, we want Patriots now, and then think 935 00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:34,520 Speaker 1: about the Cowboys when they were five and eleven. Think 936 00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:38,520 Speaker 1: about the Cowboys when they had relatively unknown players on 937 00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:41,040 Speaker 1: their team. Throughout a good part of the two thousands, 938 00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:44,440 Speaker 1: and every single year, the networks are saying, give us Cowboys, 939 00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:47,080 Speaker 1: Give us Cowboys, Give us Cowboys. There is just something 940 00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:49,719 Speaker 1: about the brand and the popularity of the brand, whether 941 00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:53,040 Speaker 1: you're rooting for them or against them, that people care about. 942 00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:55,000 Speaker 1: People care about it one way or the other, but 943 00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:58,279 Speaker 1: people care and that that's something that most teams don't have. 944 00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:03,719 Speaker 1: It's like the Cowboys, the Yankees, the Lakers, Duke Basketball, 945 00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:06,360 Speaker 1: and Notre Dame football, like those are the probably the 946 00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:09,239 Speaker 1: big five? Am I forgetting anybody? Maybe the Packers throw 947 00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:10,920 Speaker 1: them in there too. Luke Basketball? Do you said? I said, 948 00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:13,840 Speaker 1: Duke Basketball? Yeah? You love him? You love them or 949 00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:15,880 Speaker 1: you love to hate him. You're gonnach You're gonna watch him, 950 00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:17,319 Speaker 1: You're gonna watch all right. Appreciate you guys.
