Speaker 1: The following.
Speaker 2: He is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and
Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
Speaker 3: Cowboys.
Speaker 2: This He's Talking Cowboys, ringing live from the Dallas Cowboys
Speaker 2: World Course at the Star in Frisco.
Speaker 3: Streaks six seconds.
Speaker 1: That's got pisis any paint textown?
Speaker 2: And now your hosts Isaiah Standback, Nick Harris, John Mashoda
Speaker 2: and Kyle Yeomans. It's time for us say you with
Speaker 2: your chest for Friday.
Speaker 1: Here on Talking Cowboys.
Speaker 2: Presented by the Black Rifle Coffee Company, the official coffee
Speaker 2: of the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 1: Good Morning Cowboys Nation.
Speaker 2: It's time to talk about the boys. There's a lot
Speaker 2: to talk.
Speaker 3: About, unfortunately.
Speaker 2: There is a lot, unfortunately to talk about before we
Speaker 2: get into it. And I don't want to waste a
Speaker 2: ton of time. I just want to comment on Isaiah's
Speaker 2: shirt if we can get a one shot on this shirt.
Speaker 1: Oh, you're talking about this whole thing, right talking about
Speaker 1: that that thing right there? Yeah, sit up straight.
Speaker 2: You've got Micah Parsons on the left his football card,
Speaker 2: really cool looking shirt. On the right it's the mud
Speaker 2: Dogs and linebacker Bobby Bouchet. Who's better?
Speaker 1: Is what the title is?
Speaker 3: Over the time, too good.
Speaker 1: Who's better? Who would you rather have? Michael Parsons or
Speaker 1: Bobby Bouchet.
Speaker 3: Only one has a ring?
Speaker 1: Who's that?
Speaker 3: Bobby?
Speaker 1: He does have a ring.
Speaker 4: I mean, when you think about it, both of these
Speaker 4: guys are dominant. I mean when they're on the field,
Speaker 4: teams fear them.
Speaker 1: That's true. I'm just saying, kle it's true.
Speaker 4: I mean, when you thought about one dominant football player
Speaker 4: in all the movies that you've ever watched, who you
Speaker 4: think about?
Speaker 3: I think about, uh, Willie Beaman first was nice, but
Speaker 3: he wasn't dominant at first. Yeah, And I think about Bobby.
Speaker 1: Bobby Bouchet was. He was a dude.
Speaker 3: He was also Dwayne the Rock on The game Plan,
Speaker 3: You'll remember that movie. Whenever he was playing quarterback, he
Speaker 3: just did it past to his receivers.
Speaker 1: But whenever it runs through people.
Speaker 4: Whenever I visualized Michael Parsons chasing down quarterbacks, I literally
Speaker 4: think about Bobby Bouche.
Speaker 5: Like.
Speaker 1: Chasing him the whole way.
Speaker 5: That's what I envisioned. So I don't know that's how
Speaker 5: my mind works.
Speaker 3: And Bobby Bouche played boundary corner.
Speaker 4: I'm not really sure you like that Segway. You know
Speaker 4: he could pokey an Eyebottle. Okay.
Speaker 1: So now now that the fund.
Speaker 2: Is out of the way and we've we've had some fun,
Speaker 2: let's uh, let's turn our attention.
Speaker 1: To the not so fun.
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's not have any more fun.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Trayvon Digs trying to bit a smile on everybody's faces.
Speaker 2: No, I agree, it's to say it with your chest. Friday,
Speaker 2: We're supposed to come in with energy. But this one,
Speaker 2: this one stings. Yeah, it stings. Yeah, if anything, it hurts.
Speaker 2: Trayvon Digs out for the season. Torn a cl during
Speaker 2: practice yesterday. Not exactly what we anticipated from open locker
Speaker 2: room yesterday. The news rained down at about two o'clock
Speaker 2: Central time, and.
Speaker 1: Of course the ensuing reports.
Speaker 2: Were not good for Trayvon once they saw him on
Speaker 2: crutches in the locker room. Nick, you were in the
Speaker 2: building yesterday just as much as as a lot of
Speaker 2: the media was. I mean, what was the overall feeling
Speaker 2: of what happened?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll just kind of walk you through from my
Speaker 3: perspective what happened, or at least here inside the building
Speaker 3: caught wind of it. Man, it was this practice was
Speaker 3: still going on, heard that Diggs had left off and
Speaker 3: didn't look great, and then you know, me and Patrick Walker,
Speaker 3: former Talking Cowboys co host Patrick Walker trying to dig
Speaker 3: on things and found out that it probably wasn't great.
Speaker 3: We were told it was. It was bad. He was
Speaker 3: he asked a certain person good bad or really bad,
Speaker 3: and he was told bad. And so we're, you know,
Speaker 3: going into this whole whole deal with caution for sure.
Speaker 3: And then saw Treyvon Digs on crutches walking past the
Speaker 3: locker room or popping past the locker room during the
Speaker 3: open locker room portion for media, and then wasn't too
Speaker 3: long after that he had his MRI and confirmed that
Speaker 3: it was a clean ACL tear on his left knee.
Speaker 3: Very unfortunate, I mean, especially when you look at practice
Speaker 3: injuries that have happened so far this season, just since
Speaker 3: the season has started with Tyler Smith and then I'm
Speaker 3: sure we'll get into it and Tyler Biattish as well
Speaker 3: a tweaked to hamstring yesterday. So uh, this is pretty devastating.
Speaker 3: It it doesn't put the Cowboys out of contention for
Speaker 3: anything that they were already in contention for, Like, don't
Speaker 3: get me wrong, if anything, it just puts the secondary
Speaker 3: right back in the same exact situation that they were
Speaker 3: last year, except Defon Gilmore is now that reliable corner
Speaker 3: on the outside, except instead of Trayvon Diggs. But it's
Speaker 3: gonna be kind of a rotating door and so you
Speaker 3: figure out who's going to be the reliable guy on
Speaker 3: that boundary. I mean, that's something we'll get into too.
Speaker 3: I think that's a fun conversation. But for Trayvon specifically
Speaker 3: a man, it's really tough. I mean, not only was
Speaker 3: this week his birthday. He was planning on going to Beyonce.
Speaker 3: Last night, he had a sweet rented out for him
Speaker 3: and his friends, and you know, his his day just
Speaker 3: didn't go as he planned. And so I guess the
Speaker 3: bright news that you can take away from everything it
Speaker 3: was a clean tear, and that's what doctors prefer whenever
Speaker 3: they go in for the surgery, so you know, hopefully
Speaker 3: that'll help for a speedier recovery. He won't be back
Speaker 3: this season, you know, there's there's there's no way he can,
Speaker 3: but should be should be ready time for training camp
Speaker 3: next year, And just kind of knowing Trayvon's mentality, I
Speaker 3: think that's very realistic that he'll be ready to go
Speaker 3: day one and aux our next season. But you know,
Speaker 3: even if the Cowboys are able to go and eclipse
Speaker 3: this journey and carbe Omnius sees everything, it's still gonna
Speaker 3: be a little bit of, you know, bittersweet in the
Speaker 3: back of your head, knowing that Trayvon Diggs wasn't on
Speaker 3: the field for this journey.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's really not much more to add to that.
Speaker 4: It sucks, man, injuries sucked. They're gonna I mean, I
Speaker 4: definitely feel for him. I've had my fair share of injuries,
Speaker 4: things that have put me out for a lapse strad
Speaker 4: of time, and a cl is nothing to scoff at
Speaker 4: a real injury. It's not one that necessarily, you know,
Speaker 4: technology in the medicine field has necessarily improved upon you know, astronomically,
Speaker 4: you still have to wait, you know, a period of time,
Speaker 4: and you still got to go through the down downfalls
Speaker 4: and the mental strain and the dark places. So definitely,
Speaker 4: prayers up for him and his journey back is going
Speaker 4: to be a frustrating one. He's gonna need a ton
Speaker 4: of support it.
Speaker 5: I don't know. I guess I was gonna say if it.
Speaker 4: Does help in any regard that it's happening now so
Speaker 4: he can actually still be feel a part of the team.
Speaker 4: The worst thing is like when the stuff happens towards
Speaker 4: the end of the year and then everybody leaves, you
Speaker 4: know what I mean, Like everybody leaves and you're just
Speaker 4: there with the trainers every day doing your thing. Everybody's
Speaker 4: you know, everybody's traveling around the country and everything, you know,
Speaker 4: going on vacations and kicking it and doing all the stuff,
Speaker 4: and you feel super isolated.
Speaker 5: You know, at least during the year.
Speaker 4: I'm trying to find a positive in it, right, at
Speaker 4: least during the year, you're in the meeting room, you're
Speaker 4: you're with your boys. You know, you're walking past the
Speaker 4: locker room. You're still seeing your guys every single day.
Speaker 4: And that's gonna take up a good portion of his rehab,
Speaker 4: you know. I mean, he's going to be in the
Speaker 4: mix for a good portion of his rehab in the
Speaker 4: building with everybody else in the building.
Speaker 5: And that helps. That helps.
Speaker 4: And I know if people are going to probably say
Speaker 4: I'm crazy, but like, trust me, it helps when you
Speaker 4: have everybody else around you versus you just being isolated.
Speaker 3: And to that point, fortunately or unfortunately, he's not alone
Speaker 3: in the fact that he's recovering from a torn ACL.
Speaker 3: He's the fourth torn ACL since the start of training.
Speaker 3: Game you got rookie tied in John Stevens, rookie linebacker
Speaker 3: to Marvion Overshown, and then rookie receiver David Dirtin, all
Speaker 3: of them recovering from twenty acls. We've kind of seen
Speaker 3: John Stevens really early in the morning getting work out
Speaker 3: there looks like he just had surgery, and then de
Speaker 3: Marvion Overshown just had surgery this week as well. So
Speaker 3: maybe similar timelines if Dix is able to get the
Speaker 3: surgery done in two or three weeks once the swelling
Speaker 3: goes down.
Speaker 2: And I think this is it's a shock, not only
Speaker 2: to Trayvon, because of the way that he was playing.
Speaker 2: I mean, he was going, at least through the first
Speaker 2: two weeks of the season, was playing his best ball.
Speaker 2: He was being his playing his best ball as a
Speaker 2: coverage corner. He was playing his best ball as a
Speaker 2: takeaway machine. I mean he forced to fumble in week one,
Speaker 2: had an interception in week two. He was trending in
Speaker 2: the right direction for his career year, career best year.
Speaker 2: And this is talking about a guy who had eleven
Speaker 2: interceptions two years ago, had eleven picks two years ago,
Speaker 2: and he was playing his best football.
Speaker 1: That's how good he was.
Speaker 2: Even Mike McCarthy saying it this morning said it's just awful.
Speaker 2: He was just playing off the charts and that's the
Speaker 2: way he practices too. Obviously, a big blow. Your heart
Speaker 2: goes out to Trayvon. This is our first big shot
Speaker 2: of adversity. This is a real punch to the gut
Speaker 2: and a lot of fans out there might have questions
Speaker 2: on how this happens in practice. I mean you mentioned
Speaker 2: it already, Tyler Smith going down, Tyler Biatch, a little bang,
Speaker 2: Doug Travon Diggs going down. In terms of just practice alone,
Speaker 2: Donovan Wilson first practice of training camp. I mean, it
Speaker 2: happens practice. Injuries do happen, But this is a reoccurring
Speaker 2: theme this year. Mike McCarthy talked about that this morning too,
Speaker 2: and I'm reading this straight off of John and showed
Speaker 2: his Twitter, but he said this is on the one
Speaker 2: on one drill that Diggs was doing whenever the injury happened.
Speaker 2: It's a skilled development that always goes on, especially with
Speaker 2: limited time in training camp one on one drills or
Speaker 2: something that defensive backs and receivers need. Everything you do
Speaker 2: in the passing game is based on time clocks, so
Speaker 2: those reps are necessary, not doing red zone one on one.
Speaker 2: I don't see that drill as a high risk itself.
Speaker 2: It's just one of those unfortunate things that happen when
Speaker 2: two guys are competing for the ball. That can happen
Speaker 2: in any drill at any time. So that's that's McCarthy's
Speaker 2: thought process. So if you're a fan out there and
Speaker 2: you're saying, what are these guys doing in practice, it's
Speaker 2: nothing different than what they've done in practice throughout their careers.
Speaker 5: Happened, just the injuries happen. There's nothing I get it.
Speaker 4: I mean, it's just a bad run, right, I mean
Speaker 4: you talk about four acls on one team. Your eyebrows
Speaker 4: kind of if your eyebrows don't raise up, then something's
Speaker 4: probably wrong with you. So you definitely perk up and
Speaker 4: try to figure out, Okay, what's what's going on? Is
Speaker 4: our training? Is it our is it our our workload?
Speaker 4: And maybe it's not enough. Early on, like you start
Speaker 4: you question everything. Whenever used to have that consistent of
Speaker 4: an injury issue across the board. You know, talk about
Speaker 4: receiver tight end, We have receiver tight end, cornerback, and
Speaker 4: what was the last linebacker?
Speaker 5: Linebacker?
Speaker 4: I mean, it's crossing the board now, so it's not
Speaker 4: it's not positions specific. So you do start questioning your
Speaker 4: you know, what have you done this offseason that's different
Speaker 4: than any other year? What have you done in terms
Speaker 4: of training camp that you that you haven't done any
Speaker 4: other year. So you definitely go back and you do
Speaker 4: your homework. That's the strength that's the strength staff, that's
Speaker 4: the rehabilitation staff, that's the you know, the dietitians. Everybody's
Speaker 4: going to go back and figure out, Okay, did we
Speaker 4: do anything different?
Speaker 5: Is it our surfaces? Is it the cleats?
Speaker 6: Is it?
Speaker 7: Like?
Speaker 5: What is it?
Speaker 4: You know what I mean, you have to do it.
Speaker 4: You have to go back and unveil some things. But
Speaker 4: injuries happen, you know, injuries happen. It just it just sucks.
Speaker 4: You know, you don't wish it upon to anybody. No,
Speaker 4: it's a part of the game, it really is.
Speaker 2: And I think another side of this too, for for
Speaker 2: tray Von is he was a key member.
Speaker 1: Of possibly one of the best defenses in NFL history.
Speaker 1: We've talked about it. That is a potential.
Speaker 2: We're two weeks in. Yes, I know, we're only two
Speaker 2: weeks in. There's a lot of football left to be played.
Speaker 2: But based off of what this team has done through
Speaker 2: the first two weeks, what the expectations were coming into
Speaker 2: the year, there was a ceiling for this defense that
Speaker 2: is an all time great defense with the legion of Boom,
Speaker 2: with the seventies Steelers, with the eighty five Bears, they
Speaker 2: have a chance to be that good this defense does.
Speaker 1: Even without Trayvon, they can still get.
Speaker 2: To a generational type defense. I completely believe that they
Speaker 2: still have an elite level pass rush. You have more
Speaker 2: depth in the secondary than you ever have in this building,
Speaker 2: I would argue. Ever Ever, in general, the one thing
Speaker 2: that really hurts though as football fans, not just Cowboys fans,
Speaker 2: but football fans, it's the fact that even if they
Speaker 2: do reach the ceiling of being categorized as a generational defense,
Speaker 2: they're still not reaching the ceiling they would with Trayvon Diggs.
Speaker 1: It's still never going to be as.
Speaker 2: Good as it could have been because Seven's not on
Speaker 2: the field, and that's what I think hurts the most,
Speaker 2: at least from a team standpoint. It's of course you're
Speaker 2: hurting for the players. Trayvon Diggs prayers up and there's
Speaker 2: a lot of people throughout the league, including guys on
Speaker 2: the Eagles, former players, current players, doesn't matter. Along the
Speaker 2: wild everybody is saying the same thing, prayers up to
Speaker 2: Trayvon Diggs, and everybody feels for the player itself. But
Speaker 2: as a team and as a fan base, this is
Speaker 2: a defense that has a chance to be absolutely legendary,
Speaker 2: but it's still not going to be as good because
Speaker 2: Travon Dis is not on the field, and that that
Speaker 2: is you feel robbed as a football fan in doing that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think you're gonna really feel the pain
Speaker 3: of him not being in the game whenever they have
Speaker 3: to go up against these really talented receiving cores that
Speaker 3: have a big body guy that would be perfect for
Speaker 3: Trayvon Dis to match up against. The first team that
Speaker 3: comes to mind is Philly A. J. Brown being able
Speaker 3: to ride up on him and just put a body
Speaker 3: on him. And you know Gilmore has the opportunity to
Speaker 3: do that. But you also got Davonte Smiths to cover,
Speaker 3: and you also got Dallas Goddard to cover. I mean,
Speaker 3: you know there's there's there's other guys to cover.
Speaker 5: Already a challenge.
Speaker 3: It was already a challenge for sure, but like you
Speaker 3: know that just that just takes it one step back
Speaker 3: and you just kind of got to readjust from there.
Speaker 3: But Deron Bland sounds like he's gonna be the guy
Speaker 3: that moves out the boundary. Jordan Lewis, he's he's ready
Speaker 3: to go. All right, let's go man. So he's gonna
Speaker 3: go right there in the nickel and he's gonna get
Speaker 3: his full workload, assume as early as this week, and
Speaker 3: we'll see how that goes.
Speaker 5: Do you feel like you need to go get somebody else?
Speaker 3: Not right now for a couple of reasons. Let's say
Speaker 3: Deron Bland does not work out on the boundary. You
Speaker 3: have a Nashan Wright that's going to be coming off
Speaker 3: the ir here in a couple of weeks. You know,
Speaker 3: that's that's an opportunity to try out. You also have
Speaker 3: Noah Igbinoghan. He brought him in. He's a boundary guy
Speaker 3: that you can try out that in that place as well,
Speaker 3: they have three guys that they can play with to
Speaker 3: put a boundary and see if one of them can
Speaker 3: be that reliable option. I think it's very worthy for
Speaker 3: Deron Bland to be able to be the first guy
Speaker 3: to get that opportunity, just because of what he was
Speaker 3: able to do last year stepping in at Nickel and
Speaker 3: having that kind of opportunity and being able to seize it.
Speaker 3: And now that Jordan Lewis is here to take his
Speaker 3: job back, de Ron Bland he could just move right
Speaker 3: over and man if he could be a safety net
Speaker 3: at boundary and plays just as well as he did
Speaker 3: in the Nickel last year, man's a sign that man
Speaker 3: extending that man.
Speaker 1: I completely agree.
Speaker 2: I think, man, you look across the board in terms
Speaker 2: of the depth of this secondary. Any other team in
Speaker 2: the NFL loses an all pro corner all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: you're saying they're done, They're toast.
Speaker 1: They're gonna have some depth issues.
Speaker 2: Corners a lot like offensive line in ways where the
Speaker 2: depth isn't always there. I mean, it's hard to find
Speaker 2: really good shutdown corners. Stefan Gilmour is gonna have to
Speaker 2: step up too, and he's on the back end of
Speaker 2: his career.
Speaker 1: He's not playing, of course.
Speaker 2: At the same level as he did when he was
Speaker 2: a defensive Player of the Year, but he is a
Speaker 2: solid corner one. He has been a corner one throughout
Speaker 2: his career, so he's gonna have to step up and
Speaker 2: fill that role initially, but behind him, I do have confidence.
Speaker 2: I think to Ron Bland might play better on the
Speaker 2: outside than it does in the inside.
Speaker 1: Jordan Lewis looks healthy coming back from injury.
Speaker 2: I'm excited to see him get some reps, and I
Speaker 2: think it all just kind of fits into place based
Speaker 2: off of the way this roster was built and based
Speaker 2: off of.
Speaker 1: The investment they've made at the cornerback position.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would base it off of mean I need
Speaker 4: to see Naean, Yeah, I really need to see Naean.
Speaker 4: I believe that Dron Bland is very capable. I think
Speaker 4: he's obviously an excellent nickel corner. Obviously, you know Jay Lewis,
Speaker 4: so that's that obviously cuts down into his reps. So
Speaker 4: he has a versatility to bump out. But is that
Speaker 4: what I believe that he does best. I don't think so.
Speaker 4: I don't think that's his most effective position. So I
Speaker 4: think you need for a dan Quinn style. I think
Speaker 4: you still need the long, lanky guy, and so I
Speaker 4: think you know that's not taking anything away from durn
Speaker 4: Bland at all, but he just doesn't have the size
Speaker 4: of a Trayvon.
Speaker 5: He doesn't have the size of a nay Sean. So
Speaker 5: you need to see how.
Speaker 4: Nayseeon runs back and an impact that he has or
Speaker 4: doesn't have, and then from there, I think you have
Speaker 4: to make your decision on whether or not you need
Speaker 4: to bring in an additional guy, because to your point,
Speaker 4: the teams that you're going to have to beat have
Speaker 4: multiple people, and you're gonna need multiple people. You know,
Speaker 4: Deron Bland is probably gonna need to be on the
Speaker 4: inside when you go out and die. He's you're gonna
Speaker 4: need him on the inside. Yeah, he's not gonna want
Speaker 4: him on the outside. You're gonna want Hi him and
Speaker 4: Jay Lou, you know, Garden whoever it is on the inside,
Speaker 4: and you want some bigger guys on outside, give more
Speaker 4: and who U So Nashan comes down and takes her
Speaker 4: business thing all right in the boxes check. But you still,
Speaker 4: you know there's a couple of guys that are free
Speaker 4: agency that are going to be higher dollar guys. Obviously,
Speaker 4: the price always goes up whenever teams are in need.
Speaker 4: There's there's probably a guy that then I would take
Speaker 4: a peek at that. Most Cowboys fans probably would not
Speaker 4: want to hear. But I think I think Byron.
Speaker 3: Oh, that was not who I was expecting.
Speaker 2: I don't think Cowboys fans would be as upset about
Speaker 2: that as anything. I mean, I think you're well here
Speaker 2: Anthony Brown with the same friend this week. Yeah, but
Speaker 2: he got released released already. That's not a good SI yesterday.
Speaker 2: That's not a good That's not a good sign.
Speaker 4: So so I would say Byron Jones, so my initial
Speaker 4: thought was a B. But he got picked up a
Speaker 4: couple of days ago, being released a quickly, it's not
Speaker 4: a good sign.
Speaker 2: A couple of names out there, Kyle Fuller, I believe
Speaker 2: it is still out on the block.
Speaker 4: Casey Hayward's out there much just like that athleticism, but
Speaker 4: some of those guys are older. Those guys are older, right,
Speaker 4: you know you're talking about you know, Byron Jones, I
Speaker 4: think he's still just thirty. He has to size athleticism
Speaker 4: that you're bringing back on, right, And I don't. I
Speaker 4: don't think that he left on bad terms. I just
Speaker 4: they were going to pay him the way he wanted
Speaker 4: to get paid. So I think probably in the front office,
Speaker 4: I think he's probably in still good graces there. In
Speaker 4: terms of athleticism, He's a dang quinage type guy. He's explosive,
Speaker 4: he's tall, he's fast. I mean, he has all the attributes. Now,
Speaker 4: can he still get out of his break? I don't know.
Speaker 4: That's what they have to bring there for a workout for.
Speaker 3: You got three guys here in the building that I'm
Speaker 3: confident in, one of those three being a step back out,
Speaker 3: and I think the wild card is easy mcwamu as well. Yeah,
Speaker 3: so you really have four guys you can play around with,
Speaker 3: and I mean you can play around with these guys
Speaker 3: until week eight week No, I mean you have time
Speaker 3: and being up too. Oh that definitely helps. That helps
Speaker 3: the situation as well.
Speaker 5: But but you do have now you do have an
Speaker 5: available roster.
Speaker 3: Spot for sure. Would you rather have it to throw
Speaker 3: in a corner when you have those guys to play
Speaker 3: around with, or would you rather put it offensive line linebacker?
Speaker 3: I think that's going to be probably the biggest discussion
Speaker 3: with with his front office. What do they do with
Speaker 3: that open spot? Now?
Speaker 5: Good point.
Speaker 2: By the way, I'm looking back over Byron Jones. I
Speaker 2: was wondering why I haven't heard anything of him recently.
Speaker 2: But Byron Jones medically retired from the NFL, so yeah,
Speaker 2: he's gonna be oh wow.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he tweeted a.
Speaker 2: Couple of years ago whenever he stopped playing after twenty
Speaker 2: twenty one, they can't run or jump like that was.
Speaker 2: I remember that now that i'm thinking about it, and
Speaker 2: I went back and looked at it. It's got the
Speaker 2: the tweet and basically he said, I'm done, I'm out.
Speaker 2: So that we're so bad at our jobs, I mean,
Speaker 2: talked about Byron Jones in a couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: Sometimes, I mean.
Speaker 4: Guys, I'm not gonna yeah, I'll leave it alone. But
Speaker 4: sometimes guys say things and give themselves out of out
Speaker 4: of certain situations.
Speaker 1: Okay. I mean that's if that is.
Speaker 3: True that I feel bad for Byron Jones if he
Speaker 3: can't run our jump, especially how far he can jump.
Speaker 3: That's we were just talking about Byron Jones's broad jump
Speaker 3: yesterday hearing cract it's world renowned. Yeah, world record right
Speaker 3: or something like that like that, So that either way,
Speaker 3: I think there are options. I think there's options in
Speaker 3: the building kind of like that Nick is saying. But
Speaker 3: if those don't work out, you do have options out
Speaker 3: for sure.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 5: No, you definitely give those guys the first first year,
Speaker 5: you know, at.
Speaker 2: Least give them a little maybe maybe you kick the tires.
Speaker 2: You bring in a couple of those names that are
Speaker 2: you take a pickup. I mean they do that weekly anyways.
Speaker 2: I mean every team's bringing in guys to take a
Speaker 2: look at them and see what they look like. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean it happens, and naturally, you know they don't
Speaker 2: have to sign those guys, but they're always the that
Speaker 2: front office is always a scouting departments, always bringing in
Speaker 2: more talent, trying to see Hey, that's why I've tell
Speaker 2: you all the time, like this is one of the
Speaker 2: most strustful jobs you have because your job's always on
Speaker 2: the line. You wonder why these guys, why players in

Speaker 2: see seven back out on the field better than ever.
Speaker 2: I believe he will be. You even ask his teammates.
Speaker 2: Parsons said it, Curse said it. There's been a lot
Speaker 2: of reaction around the league and of course in the building,
Speaker 2: and there's a lot of support for Trayvon Diggs.
Speaker 1: And when he brings to the table, he'll be a
Speaker 1: Cowboy for a long time.
Speaker 2: This is just one step in the adversity, one step
Speaker 2: in the right direction. Every day from here on out
Speaker 2: will be a good thing for Trayvon Diggs. All right,

Speaker 1: Will have our pick him segment coming up in just
Speaker 1: a couple of moments.
Speaker 2: If you want to be our guest picker this week
Speaker 2: eight eight eight eight five five two two nine seven.
Speaker 2: That's again eight eight eight eight five five two two
Speaker 2: nine seven. Give us a call and we'll have you
Speaker 2: on in that final segment. All right, Nick Harris, I
Speaker 2: want you to talk players to watch. I want one
Speaker 2: on both sides of the football. Will start offense, will go,
Speaker 2: give both offensive players to watch, and then we'll switch
Speaker 2: over to the defense.
Speaker 3: I feel like I know who his offensive player is
Speaker 3: and I don't want to steal it from so I'm
Speaker 3: gonna take Brandon cook You're a liar, that's mining.
Speaker 5: I was gonna take that man.
Speaker 3: Brandon Cooks. I think he has a big day on Sunday.
Speaker 3: Who'd you think his guy was? I thought your guy
Speaker 3: was gonna be Tony polar Man.
Speaker 5: Nick's over three.
Speaker 3: Yeah to wait to hear what that what that board
Speaker 3: looked like from last week? Yeah, it was better. It
Speaker 3: was better than last week for me.
Speaker 1: For me.
Speaker 3: Uh but now Brandon Cooks, I'm gonna go ahead and
Speaker 3: say it with my chest. He has the most for
Speaker 3: steving yards in the entire game on Sunday afternoon. Frank Cooks,
Speaker 3: I think.
Speaker 1: What I say it just boomed in your show.
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, I think he has the most yards of
Speaker 3: any receiver on the field on the defensive side of
Speaker 3: the ball.
Speaker 2: Real quick, I'm gonna start with the offense on both sides.
Speaker 2: But I want to ask a follow up on Cook's first.
Speaker 2: I mean, so you're saying he's completely healthy, no questions.
Speaker 2: He's gonna be good to go on Sunday. He's gonna
Speaker 2: play on Sunday as far as I know.
Speaker 1: Okay, there you go. Who's your offensive guy?
Speaker 5: He's a thief.
Speaker 4: I wasn't gonna go with beat Cooks because of how
Speaker 4: much shown these guys play. And I believe that the
Speaker 4: over Routes are going to be Cooks's best friend this week.
Speaker 4: But since you take you took him from me, I'm
Speaker 4: gonna go with uh, let's go with hind Dog Peyton
Speaker 4: shot Hindy.
Speaker 1: Okay, hind I think he has his.
Speaker 5: His Uh, I was gonna I need to rephrase that one.
Speaker 5: He has his party. He has his party. Yeah, he
Speaker 5: has it.
Speaker 1: Almost came out of my mouth there.
Speaker 5: Uh, that's his party. Yeah, he's gonna everybody's gonna find out.
Speaker 4: Exactly who who eighty nine is this week's hen rushing
Speaker 4: and receiving called receiving receiving.
Speaker 5: Yet the middle of the field is gonna be gonna
Speaker 5: be booty Button naked open.
Speaker 4: There's a lot of gaps in his own and you
Speaker 4: didn't hold that one back. Booty button naga, that's like
Speaker 4: his thing, boy, But the other one is gonna get
Speaker 4: me in trouble. I was gonna be in the principal
Speaker 4: talking to a man that's wearing a Bobby Bouchet shirt. Yeah,
Speaker 4: so we're gonna go. I'm gonna Hindo.
Speaker 5: It's Friday.
Speaker 3: Lo, this is like the third goofy Friday. We've had.
Speaker 5: Your shirt. Now that's a Now might have to add
Speaker 5: him to this shirt.
Speaker 1: You can throw Charles Charles Hale owns you rather have
Speaker 1: that's fun? Okay? Uh.
Speaker 2: My offensive player to watch actually comes on the offensive line,
Speaker 2: Tyler Beattish. We didn't get to talk about him in
Speaker 2: the opening segment because trey On Digg's news of course
Speaker 2: dominated the headlines.
Speaker 1: But Trayvon Diggs a little banged up with a hamstring? Nick,
Speaker 1: what are the you get a question?
Speaker 5: You said? Uh said?
Speaker 1: He said, Trayvon Diggs. I mean, I mean sorry, I
Speaker 1: was saying.
Speaker 2: Because Trayvon Diggs headlines dominated the first episode, didn't get
Speaker 2: to talk about Tyler Biattish's injury at a hamstring.
Speaker 4: I'm concerned. I don't know the severity of that. I
Speaker 4: do question, though, who is the backup center?
Speaker 3: Brock Off rock Hoffman J Bass has been getting a
Speaker 3: lot of centers question practice, so if I had to bet,
Speaker 3: it would be best just because they can't elevate Hoffman
Speaker 3: again without dropping him and then signing him to the
Speaker 3: active roster. They've already used his two activations, so Uh,
Speaker 3: my guests would be TJ Bass. Okay, do you know
Speaker 3: the severity of the Tyler Biada does not sound like
Speaker 3: it's going to keep him out on Sunday. Mike McCarthy
Speaker 3: talked about it this morning on the Fan. I don't
Speaker 3: remember the exact quote, but he felt good about him
Speaker 3: playing Sunday.
Speaker 2: That's good, but still one to watch because if he's
Speaker 2: banged up and he's not necessarily playing well, you need
Speaker 2: Tyler biattish to perform in the middle of that offensive line.
Speaker 4: No, you absolutely, I think that's definitely somebody to watch
Speaker 4: if he touches the field. I do do get the bubblies.
Speaker 4: That's why I'm drinking my green tea. I get the
Speaker 4: bubb Absolutely, they need it. I'm looking Blayden. Uh, I
Speaker 4: get the bubblies. Because hamstrings don't heal in two days.
Speaker 1: They linger.
Speaker 4: If you're If you hurt your hamstring enough to where
Speaker 4: you have to vacate practice, that's probably not healing in
Speaker 4: two days.
Speaker 5: So I'm concerned.
Speaker 4: I'm truly concerned as to the severity and even if
Speaker 4: it is playable, because I've played on tweeked hamstrings before.
Speaker 3: You're not a hundred I mean we were told it
Speaker 3: was not even close to the severity of Tyler Smith's
Speaker 3: and it only kept him out two weeks.
Speaker 1: That's good.
Speaker 2: Just the one thing that scares me kind of along
Speaker 2: with Isaiah is the fact that there's not a whole
Speaker 2: a lot behind him. For sure, Tyler Smith, you could
Speaker 2: at least plug in multiple guys. You could plug in Juma,
Speaker 2: you could plug in TJ.
Speaker 1: Bass.
Speaker 2: Not saying those guys are the equivalent of Tyler Smith,
Speaker 2: of course not. But you have guys at center. You
Speaker 2: you got the same guys that you would put at guard,
Speaker 2: but a little out of position at center. And it's
Speaker 2: I mean, it's one of two positions that touches the
Speaker 2: football on every single play.
Speaker 3: Zach Martin center, just push.
Speaker 2: That would be actually really interesting. That sounds like something
Speaker 2: you would put on Madden. In the middle of Madden
Speaker 2: all right, defensive players to watch. I'll let Nick start
Speaker 2: or actually know what Nick stole Isaiah's off. You're a thief, sir,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna stal I'm gonna I'm gonna take Isaiah first.
Speaker 3: You didn't steal me.
Speaker 1: That's a good one. Yep.
Speaker 4: Gotta keep your eye on Jay Lou. Obviously they worked
Speaker 4: him into the system a little bit last week. I'm
Speaker 4: trying to get his feet witch want to make sure
Speaker 4: that the is not too much demand coming back to
Speaker 4: the game. But I think that he's gonna have opportunity
Speaker 4: to get his feet all the way wet.
Speaker 11: Right.
Speaker 5: He put his tone the water last week.
Speaker 4: Now he got to go at least ankle deep, at
Speaker 4: least at least ankle deep to figure out what's what
Speaker 4: that temperature is like. So I foresee him having a
Speaker 4: relatively good game. He's gonna have plenty of opportunities. However,
Speaker 4: he will be tested. He will be tested because these
Speaker 4: guys have the go juice at the receiver positions. They're
Speaker 4: four to three across the board. They're gonna get up
Speaker 4: and go. And you know, you're really hoping that your
Speaker 4: defensive line continues to play like they've played. But these
Speaker 4: guys can get down the field quick fast, in a hurry.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I obviously the secondary and especially Debron Bland filling
Speaker 3: in for Trayvon, I think that's a huge thing to
Speaker 3: watch on Sunday. But I'm gonna stick with my guns
Speaker 3: here what I would have said yesterday and say to
Speaker 3: Marcus Lawrence, there's a really big opportunity for him this
Speaker 3: week to get active in the run game once again,
Speaker 3: going up against the first round offensive tackle in Paris Johnson,
Speaker 3: being able to fight him off and stay active in
Speaker 3: the run game. I mean, if this offense finds any
Speaker 3: success on Sunday, it's gonna be it's gonna start with
Speaker 3: Josh Dobbs and James Connor getting going in the run game.
Speaker 3: You know, josh Doobbs, who is that Josh Dobbs with
Speaker 3: like seventy.
Speaker 5: Four rushing gears every four point nine.
Speaker 3: And then the James Connor getting active as well. James
Speaker 3: Connor fresh off one hundred yard performance. He's actual, she
Speaker 3: looks pretty efficient so far this season. So de Marcus
Speaker 3: Lawrence getting active in the run game, I think he's
Speaker 3: the best run defender on this team. So getting getting
Speaker 3: him going.
Speaker 5: Can you remind the people what to keep an eye
Speaker 5: out for for this game that's on the line.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I think there's a there's a there's a
Speaker 1: bet on the line.
Speaker 2: Joshua Dobbs, who set a career high last week with
Speaker 2: forty one rotching yards against the New York Giants, Isaiah
Speaker 2: believes because of the scheme, because of the structure of
Speaker 2: the offense and because of the way things could go
Speaker 2: in this game, that Joshua Dobbs would have seventy five
Speaker 2: yards rushing, have seventy five yards rushing, and if he
Speaker 2: does do that, Nick has agreed graciously gracious to wear
Speaker 2: all pink and a fluffy to two a fluffy one.
Speaker 2: Jess Navaries, by the way, says.
Speaker 1: So that she has one.
Speaker 4: Yeah, she was.
Speaker 3: She was more than ready to go ahead and offer that.
Speaker 1: She's like, oh, I got one. Here you go.
Speaker 3: It's like you won't need it. I appreciate it.
Speaker 1: But if you if we do your yards, I would
Speaker 1: be here early on my way. Oh yeah, dude, we're
Speaker 1: gonna be up here like easy.
Speaker 5: By the way, this wood needs to be replaced.
Speaker 3: It hasn't worked out so after yet.
Speaker 4: And by the way, Cowboys Nations, Okay, listen, I don't
Speaker 4: want him to run for seventy five yards because him
Speaker 4: running for seventy five yards will cause a heck of
Speaker 4: a headache for our defense, unless it's.
Speaker 1: Like garbage time, which would be great too. I think
Speaker 1: that would be the idea.
Speaker 4: I agree, I agree, okay, So yeah, so don't want
Speaker 4: that to happen. But I definitely want to see him
Speaker 4: in This is kind of a thing I need that.
Speaker 4: I need that black mail for sure.
Speaker 3: Haters. You see what they do to me, John Elevation,
Speaker 3: You have to.
Speaker 5: Have haters in your life, everybody.
Speaker 2: You've officially made it once you have hater's right. That's
Speaker 2: the thing, that's the bet. So if if things go down,
Speaker 2: of course, on the ground on suns.
Speaker 3: Did you do there?
Speaker 5: Boom?
Speaker 1: Then shake you before you beg it.
Speaker 2: Joshua Dobbs will have Nick Harris wearing a two two
Speaker 2: on Sunday.
Speaker 1: Honestly, I'm with you.
Speaker 2: I don't think he's having anywhere close to seventy five
Speaker 2: yards on the ground, but it could happen.
Speaker 1: It certainly could happen. By the way, on Big Facts today,
Speaker 1: there's a big fact, big fact about quarterbacks running.
Speaker 2: If there was any knock against the Cowboys defense in
Speaker 2: the first two games, perhaps it's allowing the quarterbacks to
Speaker 2: get loose on the ground. In two games, the Cowboys
Speaker 2: have allowed one hundred and seventy two rushing yards, seventy
Speaker 2: nine of which have been to the quarterbacks. So far,
Speaker 2: forty five percent of their opponent's ground game have come
Speaker 2: from the legs of Zach Wilson and Daniel Jones something
Speaker 2: to watch against Joshua Dobbs, who had a twenty three
Speaker 2: yard rushing touchdown last week against the Giants, so.
Speaker 3: They listened to our show. Seventy nine total in two
Speaker 3: weeks doesn't sound like.
Speaker 5: Eyeah, but those weren't scripted runs.
Speaker 3: Neither would Joshua dobb Are you serious? I mean, if
Speaker 3: the bulk of his rushing action on Sunday will be
Speaker 3: getting out of the pocket.
Speaker 4: I don't disagree with that, but I think that there
Speaker 4: would be more schemed runs in this one game, right
Speaker 4: a quarterback has been in the.
Speaker 3: First tay, I agree with you there. I'm just saying
Speaker 3: it won't work. I'm just saying I hope it doesn't.
Speaker 4: I hope it doesn't, but I do want to see
Speaker 4: you in two two. That would be really fun first
Speaker 4: bat of the year.
Speaker 2: On talking to now boys, I love friendly bets, all right,
Speaker 2: A couple over under speaking bets.
Speaker 1: We're not making any bets. This is not off of
Speaker 1: any website.
Speaker 2: This is just for funzies, just to look at what
Speaker 2: the performances could be from these individual players. Tony Pollard's
Speaker 2: had seventy yards and seventy two yards in the first
Speaker 2: two games over whatever it is, seventy one over just
Speaker 2: the average of right of where it is, right in
Speaker 2: the middle.
Speaker 3: I think he gets active early and often, and I
Speaker 3: think he's gonna break off a couple big ones.
Speaker 1: And I think he gets over one hundred get after it.
Speaker 5: What do you think I'd give him one o two?
Speaker 1: I love it?
Speaker 2: Okay, first triple digit game for Tony Pollard. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: say over to, I think so zach Ertz, he's been active. Yes,
Speaker 2: turning back the clock a little bit, He's got a
Speaker 2: pretty good start to the season.
Speaker 4: You have the three headed monster at safety, though, Kyle,
Speaker 4: they're bag baby three and a.
Speaker 1: Half catches receptions or for zach.
Speaker 4: Ertz, oh three and a half. Oh he's gonna have
Speaker 4: three catches at three and a half. Yeah, absolutely so
Speaker 4: over yeah, I think he'll have about seven catches. Goodness,
Speaker 4: they're gonna feed him. They're gonna feed him.
Speaker 3: I think he had six last week.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they feed the crap out of all. They set
Speaker 3: this a little too. They feed Trey McBride, their other
Speaker 3: tight end, quite a bit of Yes. I think between
Speaker 3: the two they had nine receptions last week and the
Speaker 3: week before.
Speaker 5: It's hard to tell which one it is. To beau,
Speaker 5: they're pretty similar.
Speaker 2: He has he has eighteen targets and twelve receptions already,
Speaker 2: just for seventy seven yards and no touchdown, so very short.
Speaker 5: He's gonna be hype. His wife just played her last
Speaker 5: game last night.
Speaker 1: Is that true?
Speaker 5: Yep, she played her last game last night for you know,
Speaker 5: the US national team. So he's going to be excited.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go over as well.
Speaker 1: Okay, over on that one.
Speaker 2: Joshua Dobbs one and a half interceptions, so that means due.
Speaker 2: The Cowboys have two picks.
Speaker 5: Again, I don't I don't see two.
Speaker 1: Picks, so under for you. Yeah, just smart, make make smart, dude, man.
Speaker 3: Okay, I'll uh. I'm gonna say over done, done, duh.
Speaker 3: I would love for doron boy and just go ahead
Speaker 3: and get his get his second one of the year,
Speaker 3: playing second and in fact, right there that was the
Speaker 3: second third four Oh yeah yeah.
Speaker 2: NFL Network is playing on the TV screen behind us
Speaker 2: as Dak Prescott making is one hundredth career start versus
Speaker 2: the Cardinals on Sunday. That's pretty cool cool, how about that?
Speaker 2: Something to look forward to concrats Dak one hundred career starts.
Speaker 2: How about that he has four hundred more to go
Speaker 2: to catch Nickman speaking. Yeah, speaking of Dak Prescott, so
Speaker 2: far this year, just three hundred and ninety eight yards
Speaker 2: through the year, two passing touchdowns. He hasn't had an
Speaker 2: interception yet. I'll set the over under two hundred and
Speaker 2: forty passing yards. I'll do t forty and a half.
Speaker 2: So that way, it's yeah, going over, Okay, going over
Speaker 2: over two hundred and forty. I think everyone gets involved.
Speaker 2: You get a couple of receiver touchdowns. Finally, I think again,
Speaker 2: Brandon Cooks, I think has a big day, so I'm
Speaker 2: gonna go over.
Speaker 5: Okay, I don't see it. I think two thirty ish maybe.
Speaker 1: Ah.
Speaker 4: I'm interested to see how coach McCarthy schemes things up
Speaker 4: against this defense. I think this is the style of
Speaker 4: defense that historically has caused DAK problems, So I'm interested
Speaker 4: to see if they continue with their getting the ball
Speaker 4: out their hands quickly stay in true to the West Coast.
Speaker 4: There was a couple of times last week where coach
Speaker 4: McCarthy really started trying to I felt like it was
Speaker 4: Kella more ish in terms of started trying to sit
Speaker 4: in the pocket a little bit longer, pushing things down
Speaker 4: the field. I'm hoping that he sticks with the West
Speaker 4: Coast get it out your hands quickly, because these guys
Speaker 4: they disguised the crap out of their coverages and Dak
Speaker 4: has struggle with that in the past.
Speaker 1: Do you think Ceedee Lamb gets a receiving touchdown?
Speaker 2: Yeah, zero point five receiving touchdowns for CD Lamb this
Speaker 2: week now sure over cede Lamb.
Speaker 1: By the way, the only player in the NFL right now.
Speaker 2: To account for over half of his team's receiving yards
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty three. He's accounting for fifty five point
Speaker 2: three percent of their receiving totals so far this year.
Speaker 2: Of course, doesn't still have it doesn't have a touchdown yet,
Speaker 2: but that would be the fourth highest percentage of it
Speaker 2: in NFL history if he continues to take up that
Speaker 2: big of a chunk of the receiving yard through the
Speaker 2: rest of the way.
Speaker 1: Only Cowboys player with over.
Speaker 2: Fifty receiving yards in twenty twenty three, how about that
Speaker 2: Tony Pollard second with forty nine. So there's some over unders.
Speaker 2: Something to look forward to coming up on Sunday. Cowboys
Speaker 2: Cardinals three twenty five kickoff on Fox. When we come back,
Speaker 2: it's time to make some picks. We're gonna start looking

Speaker 2: job for Nick. Mister five yep five hundred last week,
Speaker 2: currently four and eight overall in his pick'ms.
Speaker 5: It's not yeah long way to go, A.
Speaker 1: Long way to go.
Speaker 2: And then outside of Nick Harris still bringing up the rear,
Speaker 2: which has been really the norm the.
Speaker 1: First two weeks, is the fact that the everything flipped
Speaker 1: on its head.
Speaker 2: John and Isaiah did not have a great week in
Speaker 2: week one, but they both had good weeks in week two.
Speaker 1: I had the best week in week one. I did
Speaker 1: not have a great week in week two. Your week two,
Speaker 1: I had a three and three record five hundred. So
Speaker 1: I'm at seven and five overall.
Speaker 2: So is Isaiah, who went five and one last week.
Speaker 2: Best week across the whole job.
Speaker 1: But the only game that I lost was the Seattle Seahawks.
Speaker 1: Freaking kidding me.
Speaker 2: They let us all down in week one. We all
Speaker 2: picked against them in week two, and then they won.
Speaker 2: Seahawks ridiculous. I can't believe it.
Speaker 1: So John, Isaiah, and myself were all tied at seven
Speaker 1: and five.
Speaker 10: Go.
Speaker 2: John went four and two last week. The Fans also
Speaker 2: went four and two, which means the Fans have a
Speaker 2: one game lead.
Speaker 1: WHA.
Speaker 2: In the Talking Cowboys segments, erroneus shout out to Brian
Speaker 2: and Colorado ABE and Las Vegas, Abe and Las Vegas.
Speaker 2: He went four and two last week. But he also,
Speaker 2: I was looking back at our records. In the wild
Speaker 2: card round last year he went undefeated. Abe was the
Speaker 2: only undefeated champion in terms of the pick him.
Speaker 1: So, uh, I've got the next one on the line.
Speaker 2: Uh, let's go with Mario in South Texas. Mario's a
Speaker 2: He's a regular caller.
Speaker 1: He's done this a couple times. Last time he was on,
Speaker 1: he went sick and one. We had an extra game
Speaker 1: that week with six and one. Mario, you think you
Speaker 1: can keep that rolling?
Speaker 9: No?
Speaker 6: Well, I picked a good week to call in, didn't.
Speaker 6: We're all the pressure on in first place.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all the pressure, all sorts of it. We have
Speaker 2: John's picks, by the way, they are in and submitted.
Speaker 2: Let's start things off with the Falcons and the Lions. Nick,
Speaker 2: I'll let you start things off.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with the Lions here. Falcons have looked
Speaker 3: strangely good on defense. So but I'm gonna take the Lions.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna take Dan Campbell at home all day. Mario,
Speaker 1: who you got?
Speaker 6: I'm actually gonna take the Falcons in this one color.
Speaker 6: I think I think the loss of Chancey's Gardner Johnson
Speaker 6: is gonna be huge for that.
Speaker 1: Lions, Okay, taken the Falcons. What do you think?
Speaker 3: Solid point?
Speaker 5: I gotta stay with.
Speaker 2: Some I gotta go Lions, Lions. Yeah, okay, so Lions
Speaker 2: across the board. Congrat Oh excuse me, Mario picked the Falcons.
Speaker 1: So we saved. We're good. We're okay. Chargers at the.
Speaker 2: Vikings tower and two teams. One of those two teams
Speaker 2: will be three unless they tie somehow, But of course
Speaker 2: I don't think that's happening. Don't come to me first
Speaker 2: on this one, Mario.
Speaker 1: We'll go to you first on this one.
Speaker 6: Two high power offenses over there. I'm gonna go with
Speaker 6: the team that has a better defense, and that's the Chargers.
Speaker 1: Chargers.
Speaker 2: I think I'm gonna go with LA on the road
Speaker 2: here too hostile environment up in Minneapolis. I still think
Speaker 2: the Chargers get it done. I think they're too good
Speaker 2: of a team, too talented of a team to start
Speaker 2: owing three. I can look at the Vikings and see
Speaker 2: why they would be oh and three. What do you think, Isaiah?
Speaker 2: My heart's telling me the Vikings. But I'm gonna rock
Speaker 2: of the Chargers. Rocking with the Chargers, which this.
Speaker 3: Is a coin flip for me. But since everyone's picking
Speaker 3: La here, I'm just gonna take the Vikings. Hopefully I
Speaker 3: get a game back. This is this is strategy, This
Speaker 3: is plain defense.
Speaker 1: All right.
Speaker 2: Patriots at the Jets, the last opponent for the Cowboys, hosting.
Speaker 1: The next opponent for the Cowboys, of course, after the
Speaker 1: Cardinals this week? All right, what do you think Isaiah
Speaker 1: on this one? Rocking with double B Bill Belichick?
Speaker 2: I was thinking, I was trying to rack my brain
Speaker 2: if there was a Jets double B somewhere down by
Speaker 2: the way.
Speaker 1: Did you see who they picked up? The Jets?
Speaker 3: Yes, well Greer Will Greer. He will also be making
Speaker 3: his return to AT and T Stadium very under the
Speaker 3: radar next week.
Speaker 1: Fun. That would be fun. Do you think he gets
Speaker 1: a win this week?
Speaker 3: I don't think he gets a winning, but I think
Speaker 3: Mac Jones gets win.
Speaker 2: I'll say yeah, I'll say the Pack the Patriots get
Speaker 2: to win on the road against the Jets.
Speaker 6: Mario, I gotta go with Belichick here. He's gonna find
Speaker 6: a way to completely neutralize Jack Wilson. So I'm going Patriots,
Speaker 6: all right.
Speaker 2: Steelers at the Raiders in this one, two teams still
Speaker 2: trying to get off to a better start both at
Speaker 2: one and one.
Speaker 1: I'm going to take the Steelers at or Steelers on
Speaker 1: the road to get a win in this one. Give
Speaker 1: me Pittsburgh to pull it out. I liked some of
Speaker 1: the things I saw from them on Monday Night Football,
Speaker 1: but I still think they get it done on the road.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna take the Raiders.
Speaker 1: At home, Isaiah, Mike Tomlin. Let's go Tomlin all the way. Mario.
Speaker 6: The Raiders are somewhat a state of a disarray, so
Speaker 6: I gotta go with the and Mike Tomon.
Speaker 3: He's gonna have his team ready with the Steelers.
Speaker 1: All right.
Speaker 2: The Eagles at the Buccaneers, two teams that are two
Speaker 2: and oh, the only meeting of two and O teams
Speaker 2: this week. I never want to pick the Eagles, but
Speaker 2: I think I'm probably gonna pick the Eagles in this one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, give me, give me Philly getting the win. I'm
Speaker 1: with you. I hate fly Eagles fly. Yeah, no, God,
Speaker 1: why would you ever on this show in this building.
Speaker 6: Ever.
Speaker 3: You gotta get some games back.
Speaker 1: It just happened. Ever, he's talking about the North Texas Eagles. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So that's the only way I'm not jumping across the
Speaker 1: table right now.
Speaker 5: Ok I got the Eles, of course.
Speaker 1: Okay, Mario, you got to edit out that.
Speaker 4: I think I'm gonna cut the steel shot of my
Speaker 4: face on that and make that the dumbnail for the disappointing.
Speaker 1: Mario, what do you think I'm going.
Speaker 6: The upset here, guys. I'm taking the Buccaneers. The Eagles
Speaker 6: have been suspect on defense, and I think Baker Mayfield
Speaker 6: crazy to say you're going to chop them up.
Speaker 1: You know what. I like it, Mario, I like it.
Speaker 1: Go and pick the Buccaneers. That's that's a good one.
Speaker 1: I like you, but you're crazy crazy.
Speaker 6: I like it.
Speaker 2: I think there's a chance there. There's a reason I
Speaker 2: put it on the list. I think there's a chance
Speaker 2: the Buccaneers win. I just think Philly is too talented
Speaker 2: right now, and I think they forced Baker Mayfield.
Speaker 1: Into multiple mistakes.
Speaker 5: That's ultimately the case.
Speaker 1: Now, will they beat the Cowboys? No, they will not.
Speaker 1: They will get swept by the Cowboys. All right, I'll
Speaker 1: put that out there right now, and I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: take it back.
Speaker 2: Cowboys at the Cardinals Dallas on the road in the
Speaker 2: desert against Arizona, they go down to State farmn Stadium.
Speaker 2: It always seems like something crazy happens in Phoenix whenever
Speaker 2: the Cowboys play the Cardinals. Anything crazy happening this week, Mario,
Speaker 2: will let you start this one out.
Speaker 1: Cowboys get to three and O, yes they do.
Speaker 6: So some crazy things have happened in in Arizona, like
Speaker 6: you said, but they got the motivation this week. Anybody
Speaker 6: that's played a lick of football knows that your brother's
Speaker 6: on the field and they're going to play for their
Speaker 6: brother number seven out there, and that hurt that they're
Speaker 6: feeling right now is going to turn into rage by Sunday,
Speaker 6: and unfortunately the Arizona Cardinals is going to be the
Speaker 6: target of that raige. So staying there with my chest,
Speaker 6: I got the Cowboys winning forty one to fifteen.
Speaker 2: Oh forty one fifteen. Mario in South Texas, doing a
Speaker 2: great job as always. I hope you get all your
Speaker 2: picks right. Mario again, thanks for calling, Thanks for listening
Speaker 2: to the show and being a loyal listener all the

Speaker 3: Swing by Mario's crib on the way, have some food.
Speaker 1: I'm still mad at you. Oh, I'm still mad.
Speaker 3: I'm taking the boys.
Speaker 1: Yeah that was okay.
Speaker 3: I'm taking the boys, taking the make up for it.
Speaker 3: Not only are they gonna win, they're gonna cover.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, what is the line?
Speaker 3: Twelve and a half? Okay, yeah, I think they'd cover
Speaker 3: that too. What's your final score? I've said thirty eight
Speaker 3: thirteen this week. I'm gona stick with it, even with
Speaker 3: Trayvon dicks out. I'm just gonna go ahead and stick
Speaker 3: with it.
Speaker 1: Thirty eight thirteen? Got it? What do you think?
Speaker 5: I am my brother's keeper? Who said that? Micah? Like
Speaker 5: I said, I am my brother's keeper.
Speaker 1: Like, what are we referencing?
Speaker 5: Mike's going to be a little angry?
Speaker 1: Yep?
Speaker 5: I think that you win? Twenty seven ten?
Speaker 1: Okay, twenty seven ten?
Speaker 3: Man the storylines we would have about this offense coming
Speaker 3: out of family score twenty seven points.
Speaker 5: Twenty seventeen.
Speaker 3: Okay, now, what would be a confident performance from this
Speaker 3: offic how many?
Speaker 9: Like?
Speaker 3: Maybe not points or stats, but like, what would make
Speaker 3: you feel confident coming out.
Speaker 2: Of three fifty plus yards total and balanced the attack?
Speaker 2: Like one hundred and fifty on the ground too, and
Speaker 2: or through the air.
Speaker 1: That sounds great to me.
Speaker 2: Getting more guys involved too, Yeah, get a couple of
Speaker 2: receiver touchdowns, maybe one for Lamb, one for Cooks.
Speaker 1: That would be great.
Speaker 5: Sixty percent, sixty six runner.
Speaker 1: That'd be nice too, Yeah, that would be good. Uh.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take the Cowboys in this one. I'm going
Speaker 2: to take them big, thirty four to seven, Dallas on
Speaker 2: the road. Just get this thing done, get it taken
Speaker 2: care of, and a big time win for the Cowboys.
Speaker 2: Are pod picks this week? Which player will have a
Speaker 2: first or have the first defensive touchdown? If there is
Speaker 2: one this week defensive touchdown.
Speaker 1: For the Cowboys.
Speaker 2: Bobby Bouche and we'll say non offensive, so it could
Speaker 2: be special teams too.
Speaker 1: Hm. So you're gonna say Micah or Bobby Bouschet, That right?
Speaker 4: If there is a defensive touchdown, why not let's go.
Speaker 4: Let's go Jay Lou huh m, that would be a
Speaker 4: story book thing.
Speaker 1: Huh.
Speaker 3: I'll take uh, I'll take Jay Ron.
Speaker 2: Curse, curse, give me Malik Hooker. I'll take Malik Hooker
Speaker 2: on the back end. I think he's the one.
Speaker 1: How do you think you have one?
Speaker 5: A couple interception running ability? Where are your thoughts on that?
Speaker 1: On Jay Ron? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Man trying to find some fields, shutting out some guys
Speaker 3: nucketting there.
