Speaker 1: The following. He's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club Cowboys. This he's Talking Cowboys,
Speaker 1: screaming live from the Dallas Cowboys World hours at the
Speaker 1: Star in Frisco. Elliot Flowing and now your hosts, Isaiah
Speaker 1: stand Back, Patrick Walker and Kyle Yeomans. It's a terrific
Speaker 1: Tuesday edition of Talking Cowboys presented by Black Rifle Coffee Company,
Speaker 1: the official coffee of the Dallas Cowboys. As we enter
Speaker 1: in to week seventeen of the NFL season, flew by,
Speaker 1: how about that we're already in the penultimate week of
Speaker 1: the season. Isaiah stand Back, Patrick No C. Walker, Chris Beam,
Speaker 1: Kyle Yeoman's with you as always, gentlemen, How are we
Speaker 1: doing today better than a guy got hit by Derwin
Speaker 1: James yesterday? Do you think that was a dirty hittin
Speaker 1: this league? Is getting so soft? Like I don't even
Speaker 1: I really don't know how you played defense in this
Speaker 1: league when that's coming from somebody who played offen. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know how you played defense in this league
Speaker 1: anymore because now you can't hit the quarterback low. You
Speaker 1: can't hit the quarterback high if you hold onto the
Speaker 1: quarterback for longer than two seconds. You're gonna get fine.
Speaker 1: You're gonna get a fine if you if you hit
Speaker 1: anybody in the face at all, you're gonna get a fine.
Speaker 1: Shoulder shoulder pads or not. Show me something how you
Speaker 1: hit somebody with your shoulder pads without your helmet getting involved. Um,
Speaker 1: and then HiT's connected? Come on, man, And now you
Speaker 1: have to wait for the guy to catch the ball
Speaker 1: and turn around and see you before you hit him. Obviously.
Speaker 1: Now this is this is trash, defenseless receiver. Sorry, Kyle's
Speaker 1: stay it with your chest. Yeah, I don't. I don't
Speaker 1: think it was dirty. It was brutal, but dust it's
Speaker 1: the sport. No, it wasn't dirty. No, it was When
Speaker 1: I say, yeah, brutal, Yeah, right, it was brutal. It
Speaker 1: was brutally dirty. It was brutal. When I say when
Speaker 1: I hear brutal, I think about when I Harrison across
Speaker 1: the middle like night night, fold your whole body. It
Speaker 1: was a night night. Yeah, I'm talking about Reggie Bush
Speaker 1: and the swing route like that. I mean, it was
Speaker 1: a night night. It was. And I don't I don't
Speaker 1: believe it was illegal, but it was definitely a night night. Well,
Speaker 1: I will say the rule says the rules states you
Speaker 1: can't lead with the crown of the helmet and a
Speaker 1: defensive receiver. So I understand what the ruling was. I
Speaker 1: just don't like the rule. So how are you supposed
Speaker 1: to hit? We'll see that if I hit you with
Speaker 1: my shoulder, my helmet's going to hit you, that's the argument.
Speaker 1: And if I hit with the side of my head,
Speaker 1: then I'm gonna break my neck. So he so he
Speaker 1: hit him with the helmet, but he hit him on
Speaker 1: the shoulder with the helmet. It wasn't like a head
Speaker 1: to head contact. It is almost impossible to hit somebody
Speaker 1: with your shoulder and not your helmet. Yeah, like literally
Speaker 1: almost impossible. It's hard because they're kind of like they
Speaker 1: kind of connected their cow When I'm when I'm sitting
Speaker 1: with my shoulder pads on, my helmet is literally touching
Speaker 1: my shoulder pads unless I'm freaking Was it Hankins or
Speaker 1: whatever his name is Haskins? What was his name? What
Speaker 1: was his name he's talking about Hankins? No, he used
Speaker 1: to play for Mark. He used to play for Frian
Speaker 1: San Francisco back in the day. Goose Neck. It was
Speaker 1: his name. I don't know who you're talking about ever,
Speaker 1: know how I'm talking about tongue, But my bigger graph
Speaker 1: is his defender, Yeah, dB, my bigger graph is the
Speaker 1: roughen the pastor nonsense like seriously, And this is something
Speaker 1: that Hayley Sutton and I we had a conversation about
Speaker 1: last week. When you start to see games like the
Speaker 1: Cowboys unable to bring down Trevor Lawrence, and then that
Speaker 1: got me to thinking, obviously, Trevor Lawrence is just difficult
Speaker 1: to break down in and of itself, but at least
Speaker 1: two of those escapes, the Cowboys had him dead, the
Speaker 1: Right's arms wrapped around him, and I don't want to
Speaker 1: say they let them go, but it makes you wonder
Speaker 1: in that moment if they thought to themselves, if I
Speaker 1: finished this sack, is it a fifteen yard penalty? I
Speaker 1: mind the dog house, and maybe this is the one
Speaker 1: that loses the game. Dallas has been a benefactor of
Speaker 1: that numerous times this year. Sexual past spread spread that Merton,
Speaker 1: that thought process over the course of thirty two teams
Speaker 1: or thirty one other teams, and now I wonder, I
Speaker 1: wonder there should be someone in the League office willing
Speaker 1: to do the research and the science on this to say, okay,
Speaker 1: well here's the here science, here's the video clips, here's
Speaker 1: the video evidence of how many times a quarterback was
Speaker 1: dead to rights and the defender released for lack of
Speaker 1: a better way to put it, because of maybe they
Speaker 1: have concerns of an RTP penalty and that should be
Speaker 1: used as a competition committee conversation and say we need
Speaker 1: to really do something about this because that that is
Speaker 1: ruining the game. I said it when I was watching
Speaker 1: the film the other day with the play that I
Speaker 1: mentioned in yesterday show where Dak is twisting and turning
Speaker 1: and he's still on his feet and he's thrown the pass.
Speaker 1: He had another one against Jacksonville where a defender bounced
Speaker 1: off of him. Both of those are sacks in five
Speaker 1: year nineteen, not even twenty seventeen. That's a sack. But
Speaker 1: right now was he escaped one literally legiti the one
Speaker 1: against jackson again, there's still such thing as an escape.
Speaker 1: But then what I'm saying is there a the ones
Speaker 1: where you see the defender have him have the QB
Speaker 1: and they're like, okay, I think this is enough, and
Speaker 1: then the QB is like, oh thanks, and the play
Speaker 1: continues because no whistle was broke. So if that's going,
Speaker 1: if you're going to legislate the game and that to
Speaker 1: that fashion, then you need to be quicker in the
Speaker 1: whistle to prevent I can have one a couple of
Speaker 1: weeks back where MIKEA granted d just let him go.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, remember the one against the Chargers in the
Speaker 1: grass one that last year last year? Remember week two,
Speaker 1: he threw it for a first down, but they call
Speaker 1: him in the grass because Micah grabbed him. Yeah. See,
Speaker 1: that definitely be a case that needs to be the rule,
Speaker 1: because at this point it's gonna get quarterbacks hurt at
Speaker 1: some point because defenders are gonna say, all right, well,
Speaker 1: if I can't just bounce off of them and it's
Speaker 1: a sack, then guess what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: blow right through the thing is fined. I understand that
Speaker 1: they're trying to protect the game, but guys are literally
Speaker 1: defenders specifically, are getting fined for doing their job. Yeah
Speaker 1: you're taking and listen, this is not okay. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: pay it when I want to pay. Like, No, I
Speaker 1: don't think people understand out there. You get a FedEx
Speaker 1: letter and you're in your locker. They have already withdrawn
Speaker 1: the money out of your account that you're check like
Speaker 1: your direct deposit is less than what it would be
Speaker 1: because they've already taking the money out. Now you can appeal,
Speaker 1: and you're appealing to the same people who freaking who
Speaker 1: gave you the freaking fine? How many FedEx letters? I
Speaker 1: wasn't doing it, You didn't get it. Giving out FedEx
Speaker 1: letters for guys wearing socks that are two inches too high.
Speaker 1: They look for any reason to take money back off
Speaker 1: your pocket. The cowboys. No will about the uniform fines.
Speaker 1: It's ridiculous socks and got hit. Yeah, I want to know.
Speaker 1: I wanna. I'm gonna ask Barry that question. How many
Speaker 1: how many fines did he rack up in the day
Speaker 1: because you were an offensive guy so on the field
Speaker 1: it's a little easier to two was cutting people in Hey,
Speaker 1: he was flying by, and these aren't like little fines.
Speaker 1: You just like five grand, ten grand, fifteen and yeah,
Speaker 1: and escalate and that's not big money for Patrick, But
Speaker 1: no rest of us, no common people says who a
Speaker 1: panel with He's like, wait, a panel with a writer?
Speaker 1: And a former player, and the writer is the one
Speaker 1: who doesn't have concerns about what. Uh. Well, since you
Speaker 1: are are a resident writer, you know what time it is.
Speaker 1: It is time for news, and it is time for
Speaker 1: news and those what would Rob do? W W R
Speaker 1: d um. Yesterday's injury report came out and it was
Speaker 1: a walk through for both teams. Obviously a very short
Speaker 1: week with the game happening on Thursday. Travel day is
Speaker 1: Wednesday for the Cowboys. Duran Starmstrong was a full participant,
Speaker 1: as was Noah Brown knee, foot, knee and a foot
Speaker 1: issue respectively, but obviously full participant, no major concern. Zach
Speaker 1: Martin showed up on the injury report, but his knee
Speaker 1: issue is not a concern. He was a full participant
Speaker 1: as well. It's just it just has to be documented
Speaker 1: by league rules. The biggest thing was well, first of all,
Speaker 1: one of the biggest things, Sam Williams clear concussion protocol. Great.
Speaker 1: He returned to practice and then limited capacity. But I
Speaker 1: spoke in great detail with Sam yesterday. He is in
Speaker 1: good spirits. He has some bruising on his face, um,
Speaker 1: you know, probably from the collision and or the airbag deployment,
Speaker 1: but cleared, returned to practice and he fully expects to
Speaker 1: be on the field on Thursday. So good news for
Speaker 1: Sam Williams and as well as the other driver. Sam
Speaker 1: Williams was struck by another vehicle. His Corvette was absolute,
Speaker 1: absolutely mangled, but both drivers walked away with only minor injuries.
Speaker 1: So blessings there, so real quick on that. So that
Speaker 1: accident happened over by my apartment. I drive that way
Speaker 1: that road every day to work, so people want to
Speaker 1: look for you. That's what they can. I mean, if
Speaker 1: they want to, they try. But if they want to,
Speaker 1: then that's on them. Listen to Sam's apartment. Apparently that's
Speaker 1: not the case. It didn't happen in my apartment complex. No,
Speaker 1: not at all. So but I got a call the
Speaker 1: other day from a friend of mine that lives in
Speaker 1: the same area and he was saying, hey, I didn't
Speaker 1: know that this was his car when I saw it.
Speaker 1: I just remember seeing a black Corvette and it was
Speaker 1: torn up. And the pictures have since been released. It's
Speaker 1: all online now. I think somebody else it's it's It
Speaker 1: was a serious car accident, and I actually I know
Speaker 1: the intersection that it happened at. I've almost gotten an
Speaker 1: a wreck there too. It's a dangerous intersection. It's really
Speaker 1: not people are coming fifty one way on a two
Speaker 1: lane road. People are coming fifty the one way, and
Speaker 1: then it's you have to cross over like three or
Speaker 1: four lanes of traffic because there's turning lanes. It's it's
Speaker 1: a mangled Das. I don't know if that's a Texas
Speaker 1: thing so because I couldn't see no light or anything,
Speaker 1: but it's certainly a Dallas thing. There are several spots
Speaker 1: in the Dallas metropleates that have that. But Yeah, glad
Speaker 1: he's okay, And just the severity of that car accident
Speaker 1: was far greater than it was led on to me initially,
Speaker 1: and we are so glad that that he is good.
Speaker 1: And for those who haven't seen any of the images,
Speaker 1: if you go to my Twitter at Voice of the Star,
Speaker 1: you'll see the conversation I had with Sam. I posted
Speaker 1: an image of the of the corvette, and again, it's
Speaker 1: a mangled mess. The fact that he was able to
Speaker 1: walk away from that with only minor injury is both
Speaker 1: a blessing and just this wonderful news. Wonderful driver signed too. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and what an honorable guy got him. What an honorable
Speaker 1: guy you get? Struck? He get He was sideswiped by
Speaker 1: by the other driver. He got out of his vehicle
Speaker 1: and then went to try to get the other driver
Speaker 1: out of her vehicle, unsuccessfully because she was trapped, so
Speaker 1: the fire department had to come in and let her out.
Speaker 1: But just to have that kind of nobility to say, hey,
Speaker 1: you you know and in a state of shock. Obviously
Speaker 1: you're also in a state of shock after you get
Speaker 1: knocked like that. So shout out to Sam Williams. Just
Speaker 1: a good dude who deserves to still be here, and
Speaker 1: thankfully he is and no major injury, so I expect
Speaker 1: to see him on the field this Thursday, barring any
Speaker 1: setbacks in practice. Tony Pollard and Layton Vanderett. We're still
Speaker 1: waiting to see when Lve will return to the field.
Speaker 1: This is obviously a short week, so I leaned toward
Speaker 1: it probably not happening quite yet with that pinched nerve
Speaker 1: in his shoulder. We'll see how it goes. But he
Speaker 1: was a DNP, which is did not participate on Monday,
Speaker 1: likely will be the same case on Tuesday. I don't
Speaker 1: expect to see him on Thursday, but we'll see how
Speaker 1: it goes. Tony Pollard, a lot of people were wondering
Speaker 1: because wondering because he popped up with a thigh issue
Speaker 1: as it did not participate DNP on Monday. Owner and
Speaker 1: general manager Jerry Jones spoke to one or five point
Speaker 1: three off from the fan today Tuesday morning and basically
Speaker 1: said they are counting on Tony Pollard to be on
Speaker 1: the field on Thursday night. It's nothing serious that he
Speaker 1: quote unquote looks good. So that's good for Tony Pollard.
Speaker 1: That's the Cowboys injury report. As far as the Titans,
Speaker 1: let's just put it this way. Aaron Brewer participated in
Speaker 1: the walk through on Monday with a limited was limited
Speaker 1: with a calf injury, and nobody else did quite limb
Speaker 1: all the way down, so all the way and honestly,
Speaker 1: I'm hired the PS five and sim Brewer I out
Speaker 1: there to run some some offensive line drills down You,
Speaker 1: Drew go do the cold drills. Everybody else is fire
Speaker 1: up the mat and all right, let's get some film
Speaker 1: room more. All right. So they're waiting on our show. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're waiting on hit sticks. That's what it is. So
Speaker 1: I asked Barry about it is fine by that you
Speaker 1: want to know what was it? He said, you got
Speaker 1: fine about ten times, so totally between sixty and seventy
Speaker 1: k Oh my god, that is a lot doing your job,
Speaker 1: doing your job. Yeah, thanks Beam for doing that market
Speaker 1: research for you for us, that's nice. But sixty to
Speaker 1: seventy k that's unreal for hitting guys, and your job
Speaker 1: is to hit guys. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know if
Speaker 1: I agree. How would you like to come home and
Speaker 1: your wife and like, hey babe, hey I got hit again. You. So,
Speaker 1: with the short week ahead, and I was gonna ask
Speaker 1: this to to Isaiah who's scarfing down oatmeal as a
Speaker 1: growing uh still crowing. So with with the short week,
Speaker 1: and yes you get an extra day because you played
Speaker 1: on Saturday. This team is a little banged up. I mean,
Speaker 1: when Patrick was talking about Tony Pollard, there the five
Speaker 1: issue that popped up. I'm not surprised because you go
Speaker 1: back and you watch that Philadelphia game. It was physical.
Speaker 1: He was beat up. Everybody was beat up. Zack Martin
Speaker 1: was beat up, Tyler Beotis was beat up. Even Dak
Speaker 1: Prescott a couple of times he was sacked six times,
Speaker 1: so he got a little beat up too. After a
Speaker 1: physical game like that, then you turn around, you have
Speaker 1: a short week. How tough is that? As a super yeah,
Speaker 1: super tough. Um. You talk about a Saturday afternoon game
Speaker 1: all the way into the evening, and now you're turning
Speaker 1: around and traveling tomorrow and then playing on third. Your
Speaker 1: body is just starting to be alleviated of being so
Speaker 1: I don't forget. Sunday was Christmas, so there was nothing break.
Speaker 1: So you got to delete Sunday, delete delete. Your body's
Speaker 1: still sore, so literally in warm ups of that game,
Speaker 1: you're just starting to feel like yourself again. That so
Speaker 1: I'm putting this in this way. You know, when you
Speaker 1: have a good workout, Kyle, you like to work out, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you go to the gym, you get a nice training
Speaker 1: session in, and when you feel the most sore two
Speaker 1: days right, two days later post two days, that's when
Speaker 1: you really feel it okay. And then two days after
Speaker 1: that is usually when you start feeling like yourself again. Right,
Speaker 1: the soreness is starting to wear off. So we're talking
Speaker 1: about post four days, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. Your travel
Speaker 1: day is the day where you start feeling like you
Speaker 1: start coming back down. You start coming back down line,
Speaker 1: all right, okay, don't hurt as much as it did,
Speaker 1: and getting the same plane seat. Yeah, next thing you know,
Speaker 1: you're in a warm up line. Yeah. Right, and then
Speaker 1: you're about to get you you're right back into that
Speaker 1: same cycle. So for those that can't relate, that is
Speaker 1: how you relate. Okay, that's it takes you four days
Speaker 1: for your body to typically recover just from a training
Speaker 1: session in the gym. Imagine how if you talk about
Speaker 1: car acients? Right, thank god, Sam's okay, But that's essentially
Speaker 1: what guys are going through every every every down, right,
Speaker 1: depending on your position group, you're literally getting ran into
Speaker 1: somebody at a high rate to speed with a lot
Speaker 1: of masks, okay, and your body has to recover from
Speaker 1: that and of overspanning four days. The NFL didn't make
Speaker 1: this decision based upon the health and safety of players.
Speaker 1: They made it based upon the decision of their pockets.
Speaker 1: And guys just have to figure out how to make
Speaker 1: it happen. Yeah, and Isaiah is coming after the league today.
Speaker 1: It's your truth. I'm not coming, I'm speaking facts. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I agree, But it's also fear facts. Guys. If it
Speaker 1: was about health and safety, guys would not be playing
Speaker 1: four or five days after your game. Now, So let's
Speaker 1: not let's not just sprinkle any any salt bay on it.
Speaker 1: That's not what it is. Guys are expected to get
Speaker 1: themselves ready to make this league some bread and that's
Speaker 1: what it is. And you hope that your team could
Speaker 1: turn around physically and make it happen. But you're it's
Speaker 1: literally a hope the trainers, and that's why you're seeing
Speaker 1: somebody walk through using immediate practice, light practices because you
Speaker 1: physically can't do it. Yeah, like literally when you're in
Speaker 1: those warm up lines, you're just getting you you're working
Speaker 1: that last little bit of soreness off right before you
Speaker 1: go out there and get hit by a girl man
Speaker 1: running you know, twenty miles per hour at you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's rough, and that's why it's that much more important.
Speaker 1: Um or key, I should say that the Cowboys came
Speaker 1: out fairly clean against the Eagles, and especially considering the
Speaker 1: injuries that they've had racking up over the past several
Speaker 1: weeks going into that. Um, you come out and in
Speaker 1: the worst case scenario is you know, Tony Pollard has
Speaker 1: a little bit of a thigh issue that probably isn't
Speaker 1: as much of an issue at all. If you're the Cowboys,
Speaker 1: it's a it's a win win because not only it's
Speaker 1: a win win win, not only did you get the victory,
Speaker 1: but you got the victory against an NFC East opponent
Speaker 1: who happens to be atop the league and the division,
Speaker 1: and you came out clean. Yeah, no injuries, So we
Speaker 1: wanted to bruise. Right, it sounds like it's it's more
Speaker 1: of a thigh bruise. You ever had cupping done well
Speaker 1: when you lay on a little cup. He had the
Speaker 1: dumb before. I've seen it, but I haven't had my
Speaker 1: sister has a machine like she has that. It's definitely
Speaker 1: a thing. Yeah, it takes about depending on how you
Speaker 1: know what part of the body, takes about four or
Speaker 1: five days for it was bruises to go away. My
Speaker 1: copy that doesn't even hurt. Yeah, four to five days
Speaker 1: for those bruises to go away. So now you're asking
Speaker 1: TP to turn around in five days, and he will.
Speaker 1: But but what you're basically saying, I'm saying he will,
Speaker 1: right because he's a freaking warrior, right, He's I mean,
Speaker 1: he's a freaking Jedi, so he's gonna do it, and
Speaker 1: it'll probably be more of a Zeke heavy game plan
Speaker 1: tipas will be a little heavier. Yeah again, that's true
Speaker 1: as well. And it'll probably be a Zeke heavy um
Speaker 1: running game as far as the Tennessee versus the Tennessee Titans.
Speaker 1: And and the question is, and I'll segway this and
Speaker 1: toss it over to QB one over there. We talked
Speaker 1: about this yesterday off the record, and it turns out
Speaker 1: that the Titans are in kind of a rare situation here.
Speaker 1: So now undering if they're you know, are they going
Speaker 1: to rest Derek Henry because they have an all important,
Speaker 1: all and nothing game in Week eighteen against the Jackson Whale.
Speaker 1: Jack wars Like, what kind of state are the Titans
Speaker 1: going to be in? Mentally? I don't see that going
Speaker 1: against the Cowboys. Well, they don't need this game. He
Speaker 1: actually he talked about it yesterday. So I'm gonna tell
Speaker 1: you what what he said right after the brain because
Speaker 1: there could be that possibility or you could take all
Speaker 1: of this and the bruising and the soreness and you
Speaker 1: may be going right back up against the most physical
Speaker 1: tailback in the NFL at the moment, and that's Derrick
Speaker 1: Henry when we come back with more talking cowboys. When

Speaker 1: prior to game day on Thursday. We're gonna have to
Speaker 1: do our picks remote. We're gonna have to kind of
Speaker 1: send him in and put them out there. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: because it's standings are very close and now all of
Speaker 1: a sudden he wants to we'll pick the Cowboys. I mean,
Speaker 1: do you want me to put it on Twitter. I'll
Speaker 1: put it on Twitter before the week starts. We'll put
Speaker 1: it on Twitter Willie for me, would you please? Well, well,
Speaker 1: we'll pick the Cowboys game, but we're just not gonna
Speaker 1: pick the rest of them. Yeah. Yeah, we'll pick the
Speaker 1: Cowboys game in a minute, but we don't have time
Speaker 1: to do all these other things. So earlier in the show,
Speaker 1: Patrick mentioned that there could be a possibility with the
Speaker 1: fact that this game does not matter mathematically for the
Speaker 1: Titans to make the playoffs. Of course, it does matter
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys. If they lose, then Philadelphia wins the division.
Speaker 1: The divisional hopes are still very slim, but also still alive. However,
Speaker 1: the Cowboys opponent in the Tennessee Titans, whether they win
Speaker 1: or they lose, would still have to win a ball
Speaker 1: game in Week eighteen against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Winner of
Speaker 1: that game is going to the playoffs already, how he goes, So, Jacksonville, Tennessee,
Speaker 1: that's a playoff game. Who'd you rather face in the playoffs? Kyle, Tennessee.
Speaker 1: Right now, Tennessee, they've lost five strade. So the question
Speaker 1: we said, the Jaguars have horses. They have horses. You
Speaker 1: saw what the horses did. They ran, So yeah, they did.
Speaker 1: Titans no series gonna be like, is that a real question? Seriously?
Speaker 1: The Titans also don't even have their QB one. It's
Speaker 1: Malik Williston. He's not playing will right now. It's just such.
Speaker 1: He's not playing he's a question. But I'll take either one. Guys, Yeah,
Speaker 1: if we play them and be the super bow boom.
Speaker 1: That was the right answer coming in here. Hot heybe
Speaker 1: you see the trick question. At the end of the day,
Speaker 1: they were not there. You did not have Jackson serious right,
Speaker 1: take any of those answers. Let me, don't even try.
Speaker 1: That was all don't try. You were picking up what
Speaker 1: I was quick your dog bemer. We're not going to
Speaker 1: let him siphon somewhere your that was that was all you.
Speaker 1: But it was all you stand back just throughout that
Speaker 1: question to poke the bear. He didn't realize now he's
Speaker 1: trying that question. Playoffs if you're not gonna face throwing
Speaker 1: a shot about the Jackson Jacky, the freaking soft one.
Speaker 1: I was just John Stockton, he's Karl Malone. No, No,
Speaker 1: that mail man, I'm not what happened. That's not what
Speaker 1: happened at all. He might be he might Tony Parker,
Speaker 1: Tim Duncan he might be Tim Duncan, You're like some
Speaker 1: dude that's in the league, Robert Horry. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: all right. So after that little sidetrack, the uh, the
Speaker 1: conversation is whether or not the Titans will wrest some
Speaker 1: of their key players in order to get ready and
Speaker 1: arrested for that matchup against Jacksonville in week eighteen, and
Speaker 1: head coach Mike Vrabriel did talk about it. He said,
Speaker 1: I think we'll have to prepare this week and see
Speaker 1: where guys are on Wednesday and even Thursday before we
Speaker 1: ultimately make a decision and see who we feel could
Speaker 1: have a setback or who could need some time. Those
Speaker 1: will have to look at. So when asked that question,
Speaker 1: if you weren't going to arrest players, the initial thought is,
Speaker 1: why are you even asking me the question. We're gonna
Speaker 1: play football on the football coach. We're a football organization.
Speaker 1: We're gonna go out and play. You played within the
Speaker 1: you until you think about the fact that this coach
Speaker 1: came from New England and he is a Belichick guy,
Speaker 1: which means that he says Belichick things, Belichick never shows
Speaker 1: his hand and he froze it. Counterpoint, you're gonna prepare
Speaker 1: to go against their starters anyway. So there's no gamesmanship
Speaker 1: to be had by saying, oh, we might rest them, guys,
Speaker 1: one guarantee, even if he said that directly, none of
Speaker 1: the coaches in this building right now, let's let's start
Speaker 1: preparing for the second and third, right guys. No, they're
Speaker 1: going to prepare for the alpha's because if the alphas
Speaker 1: are playing now, you're ready. If the alphas are not
Speaker 1: playing and you've prepared for the alpha's, well then the
Speaker 1: bat has become that much easier. I get that, no,
Speaker 1: se but from his point, he's controlling the controllables. I
Speaker 1: believe that it is a very real thing. You don't believe.
Speaker 1: You don't believe that gamesmanship the same gamesmanship. Nobody's not
Speaker 1: going to prepare for Derrick Henry. It doesn't matter what
Speaker 1: what Rabel does or does not say. Everybody's going to
Speaker 1: prepare for Derek. Can you stop Derrick Henry? Yes, it
Speaker 1: can't happen, but the likelihood of it is low. The
Speaker 1: hard teams stopped him. If Henry plays this, Dallas defense
Speaker 1: shut him down. What it's what would you classify as
Speaker 1: shutting him down? Less than one hundred yards less than
Speaker 1: one hundred yards. It can happen. No, no no, no, don't no.
Speaker 1: I need I need, I need predictions. I need you
Speaker 1: to have your scantron number two pencil out, circle it
Speaker 1: in all the way. Yes, boom, you know I yes,
Speaker 1: because there's nothing on Malik Willis's arm, dang it that
Speaker 1: presents a thread enough for me to not stack the
Speaker 1: box heavily against Derrick Henry. I mean he still had
Speaker 1: one twenty six last week on twenty three carries. So
Speaker 1: they stacked the boxes and I still got one hundred
Speaker 1: and twenty six. Who they play last week? I have
Speaker 1: the Texans? Okay, so we compare Texans defensive personnel. Now, okay,
Speaker 1: how much did you run against against the Texans? How
Speaker 1: much take the Cowboy against? Stand on what I said,
Speaker 1: the Texans personnel, It is not the Cowboys person No,
Speaker 1: I agree, But I also say, because I want people
Speaker 1: to understand, please don't be the I'm not gonna name called.
Speaker 1: Please don't be the pat don't be the individual that
Speaker 1: I have to wreck, that I have to embarrass because
Speaker 1: you take what I'm saying as no said, Derrick Henry's
Speaker 1: a bump? Are you crazy? Every week we said leading
Speaker 1: into this game kind of previewing this game that Derrick
Speaker 1: Henry is an animal. He's virtually unstoppable. Unstoppable, but virtually
Speaker 1: isn't literally there are times there are games where Derrick
Speaker 1: Henry will have a bad game and he just will
Speaker 1: not basically get off the ball like you want. He
Speaker 1: does not. He would out run for two hundred yards.
Speaker 1: He's not gonna run for one fifty every game. There
Speaker 1: are games where he just doesn't. And those games have
Speaker 1: occurred the season that he's run for less than a
Speaker 1: hundred yards. So that tells me it can happen. So, yes,
Speaker 1: it can happen. In the Cowboys would have a chance,
Speaker 1: and a better chance than if Tannehill was playing, because
Speaker 1: at least with Tannehill you have to respect his arm
Speaker 1: to a degree. Malik Willis, We're not saying he's a bum,
Speaker 1: but he's showing that if you take the throw away
Speaker 1: from him, well then all they got is Derrick Henry. Yea.
Speaker 1: So it makes it exponentially less difficult I won't say easier,
Speaker 1: but less difficult to contain Harry. So that's doable. Now
Speaker 1: that Patrick has called everybody on the Titans a bum,
Speaker 1: let's let's move on. I'm not just kidding. So I'm
Speaker 1: looking at this. You said there are games this year
Speaker 1: where it has happened. Where six games where he's been
Speaker 1: under one hundred yards. Yes, he also has eight games
Speaker 1: where he's been over one hundred yards. Yeah, so there
Speaker 1: are more games where he's been over one hundred yards
Speaker 1: than he has been under. So but nearly half, well,
Speaker 1: not nearly half. Seven games a large chunk of the
Speaker 1: season we were talking about. Eighty two, twenty five, eighty five,
Speaker 1: fifty three, eighty seven, thirty eight. The Bengals held him
Speaker 1: the thirty eight on seventeen carries. The Bengals did, and
Speaker 1: I'm kind of circling that because they have good personnel defensively.
Speaker 1: The Eagles. The Eagles held him to thirty yards. Yeah,
Speaker 1: car yards on eleven carries, two point seven three yards
Speaker 1: per carry. Eagles have good personnel defensively. I'd say that
Speaker 1: to say, if you look at what he did against
Speaker 1: the Texans, that's because the Texans have Texans personnel. If
Speaker 1: you look at what he was unable to do against
Speaker 1: the Eagles, good personnel, good scheme. Cincinnati Bengals, good defensive personnel,
Speaker 1: good scheme, Cowboys. Good defensive personnel, good scheme. You would
Speaker 1: love to have a Hankins back in this game. You
Speaker 1: would love to have LV in this game, but you're
Speaker 1: not going to. That's going to make it more difficult
Speaker 1: to stop Henry. But seeing the teams that he struggled
Speaker 1: to get off against, it gives me a good bit
Speaker 1: of optimism that it can be achieved. As what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: I can't disregard the Texans. I mean they ran from
Speaker 1: more yards against the Texas in Dallas then, so I
Speaker 1: can't disregards. No, it's true. Well, and you also go
Speaker 1: back to what they did in Week eight against the Texans.
Speaker 1: Oh yes, thirty two for two nineteen and two touchdowns.
Speaker 1: So yeah, there were some extra yards there too. I
Speaker 1: will say it is possible, Yes, it's possible. You hold
Speaker 1: them under one hundred yards, Like I don't know. I
Speaker 1: don't think it happens because I thin bout no, See,
Speaker 1: that's possible if you show up. That's just facts. Go on,
Speaker 1: I think I think just facts. So Henry gets one
Speaker 1: hundred yards, but I'm okay with it because I think
Speaker 1: that's all they got. That's all they got. Nine point Now,
Speaker 1: if he gets. If he gets if he gets ninety nine,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna come in here on Monday, it's gonna be great.
Speaker 1: So over under a hundred over over under, I'm saying,
Speaker 1: i gotta say with a QB swap, I'm taking under.
Speaker 1: Just throw everything you got at him, everything you got
Speaker 1: at him. See, but that's all they've got. They're gonna
Speaker 1: gain yardage. That's the NFL. It's gonna happen. Derek Henry
Speaker 1: is gonna be given the ball twenty five times. I
Speaker 1: was gone times. He's got hundreds. Well that's not fair.
Speaker 1: If you give Derek Henry thirty touches, that's what thirty
Speaker 1: carries specifically, then no, I'm taking it's just over a
Speaker 1: hundred thirty carries. How much is Layton vander esh and
Speaker 1: Jonathan Hankins that duo. How much are they missed in
Speaker 1: this year? Yeah, that's big. These guys are physical. Anybody.
Speaker 1: Everybody knows this is not a great football team, okay,
Speaker 1: haven't been, hasn't been, and but the one thing that
Speaker 1: you know you're gonna get out of them is physicality.
Speaker 1: That's just that's just a variable way. Okay, you talk
Speaker 1: about the culture of the team, you talk about the
Speaker 1: culture of dan Quinn's defense. Yeah, these guys are They're physical, Right,
Speaker 1: They're gonna come there, gonna hit you in the mouth.
Speaker 1: Even if they take the al, you're gonna feel it
Speaker 1: right after the game, right, you're gonna you're gonna know
Speaker 1: that their presence was there. So not having two of
Speaker 1: our most physical guys in terms of rushing defense in
Speaker 1: there is going to hurt, is going to hurt. And
Speaker 1: you're still that's still a source spot for you. It's
Speaker 1: still a sore spot. So you're looking to see if
Speaker 1: if the new feller can show up and make some
Speaker 1: plays in replacement of Hankins rush. Yeah, you're looking so
Speaker 1: see you can rush stop the rush. And then you're
Speaker 1: looking at the second level and he say, hey, you know,
Speaker 1: Damon Clark, can you get off blocks of the strom
Speaker 1: from the office of lineman. Yeah, he's flying around you
Speaker 1: see I disagree, I think of blocks. Yeah, getting a
Speaker 1: different This was a game where he looked like a rookie.
Speaker 1: This past week they put him in some tough situations.
Speaker 1: He looks like he's lost half the time, or at
Speaker 1: least in this game, he looked like I just think
Speaker 1: getting off blocks, getting off blocks was a challenge. From
Speaker 1: what I've seen. He flies around because he's super athletics,
Speaker 1: but when those guys get their hand reads in the blocking,
Speaker 1: it's tough. It's tough for him, right. So either way,
Speaker 1: at the second level, bar is gonna be very physical.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be very interesting to see who they put
Speaker 1: at middle this week. Well in Quentin Bohana also had
Speaker 1: a rough game because Philadelphia went at him too, and
Speaker 1: they went at him with a double team and he
Speaker 1: couldn't necessarily handle three. I thought Osa di Gizuo was
Speaker 1: very active early in the game. Gholston was effective at
Speaker 1: different times. Even Neville Gallimore had two plays that I
Speaker 1: charted that I really liked. There were a couple of
Speaker 1: them that I didn't like. But you can't have that
Speaker 1: hit or miss because if you have leaky junior defensive
Speaker 1: line Patrick, that's where Henry can support through. Absolutely And
Speaker 1: not to say that their similar banks, because they absolutely
Speaker 1: are not. But you look at Miles Sanders for example,
Speaker 1: and I bring up Miles Sanders because the Cowboys did
Speaker 1: contain Miles Sanders to a great degree, even without John
Speaker 1: and Hankins, even without Lve on the field, and that
Speaker 1: kind of forced the game on Gardner Minshue and that's
Speaker 1: why I means she ended up throwing forty times because
Speaker 1: the way the game was going back and forth, close game,
Speaker 1: back and forth, close game. It was not a game
Speaker 1: that the Eagles had to throw themselves back into or
Speaker 1: try to climb out of a hole. So the leading, Yeah,
Speaker 1: the run game should have continued to be effective for
Speaker 1: the Eagles throughout the entire game, but for the most part,
Speaker 1: it just was not. And then you look at the
Speaker 1: last four or five games of the Cowboys, look at
Speaker 1: every game for the Cowboys run defense wise after the
Speaker 1: Packers game, and the only game in which they failed
Speaker 1: to truly contain the running back Travis Etn is the
Speaker 1: game they lost it, and they barely lost that game.
Speaker 1: But looking at the body of work post Packers upset,
Speaker 1: this team has shown me that they can contain a
Speaker 1: running back and an elite running back, because you talk
Speaker 1: about sa Quon Barkley and you talk about Dalvin Cook,
Speaker 1: and you know at n they can contain an elite
Speaker 1: running back. Now, Derrick Henry is admittedly something different, He's
Speaker 1: something else. He is size, power, speed, and finesse all
Speaker 1: road into one that is generational but will work. What
Speaker 1: will work again in the Cowboys favor is that Tannehill's
Speaker 1: arm is not under center. It's a rookie's arm. In
Speaker 1: Malik Willis. My concern for going against Malik Willis, it's
Speaker 1: not his arm, it's his legs. Right. So this is
Speaker 1: a situation where you know what, this is a situation
Speaker 1: that if you're talking about being prepped to potentially play
Speaker 1: the Jalen Hurts version again of the Philadelphia Eagles, should
Speaker 1: you make a playoff run. Well, Malik Willis, he's no
Speaker 1: Jealen Hurts. But this is a one two similar it's
Speaker 1: a similar scheme like this similar scheme. This is this
Speaker 1: is another game that can help you prepared to potentially
Speaker 1: face the Philadelphia Eagles down the road because Malik Willis
Speaker 1: is not Jalen Hurts. But it's going to force you
Speaker 1: the scheme for a very mobile quarterback with a dynamic
Speaker 1: run game who has as far as hand him with
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry, and you don't necessarily have to worry about
Speaker 1: the past. So I think it's a good So you're saying,
Speaker 1: outside of Derek Henry, the only person that you should
Speaker 1: be the next person up that you should be concerned about,
Speaker 1: is are the legs of the legs Willis? Yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's still got a long way to go. And we
Speaker 1: said this on the Draft Show. Good quarterback, good potential. However,
Speaker 1: still a long way to go in terms of his
Speaker 1: growth as a quarterback. As a runner, he's an NFL runner.
Speaker 1: He can, he can take it and he'll he'll He's
Speaker 1: as shifty and elusive as anybody behind center that you'll see.
Speaker 1: He's not Lamar Jackson to that extent, but he's not
Speaker 1: far off from as a runner standpoint wise. He just
Speaker 1: can't throw the ball right now, and he's got he's
Speaker 1: got bad footwork, he's got bad technique. If he can
Speaker 1: learn how to throw the football a little bit, he
Speaker 1: may actually be one big time quarterback at some point
Speaker 1: in this league. Won't be there on Thursday. He won't
Speaker 1: be that Thursday. So I would agree with you. I
Speaker 1: think outside of Derek Malik, Willis is probably that number
Speaker 1: two threat because they don't have anybody really on the outside.
Speaker 1: They really don't that I'm scared of. But I do
Speaker 1: want to take our second break. When we come back,
Speaker 1: we'll take one final look at the Titans talk about
Speaker 1: that defensive side of the football. What do they bring defensively?
Speaker 1: And then we'll make our picks for the Thursday night
Speaker 1: football matchup coming up in just a couple of days.
Speaker 1: One more segment when we return here on Talking Cowboys.

Speaker 1: here on the final segment of Talking Cowboys, Isaiah stand Back,
Speaker 1: Patrick Nose Walker, Chris Beam and just to kind of
Speaker 1: back ind the conversation that we were having in our
Speaker 1: most recent segment, I tweeted this after the loss to
Speaker 1: Green Bay, which was kind of your wake up call
Speaker 1: of another two hundred yard game, and I tweeted out
Speaker 1: the upcoming schedule of running backs. Dalvin Cook seventy two
Speaker 1: yards allowed, Saquon Barkley thirty nine yards in a touchdown.
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor eighty two yards allowed. Also that was in
Speaker 1: the latter parts of the game too. Damian Pierce seventy
Speaker 1: two yards allowed in a touchdown. Travis Etn one oh three.
Speaker 1: So that's the one that got over triple digits. The Eagles.
Speaker 1: I just tweeted them as a team because they all
Speaker 1: have running ability eighty seven yards in a touchdown, but
Speaker 1: I will credit the fact that there was no Jalen
Speaker 1: Hurts there. And then week seventeen, Derrick Henry of course
Speaker 1: a big question mark this week. So in terms of
Speaker 1: an individual rusher, they've done a good job of shutting
Speaker 1: down the big, the big threat. They've done that, So
Speaker 1: can they do that against Derrick Henry? That's the biggest
Speaker 1: question and probably gonna be what decides the game. Should
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry play in Week seventeen? Now, looking on the
Speaker 1: defensive side of the football, Isaiah, any threats there that
Speaker 1: they kind of bring to the table, any kind of
Speaker 1: challenge there that could push Dak Prescott in this offense
Speaker 1: that's kind of been rolling lately. Unbothered nothing, I'm unbothered.
Speaker 1: I just yeah, I like their safety. Who's it by Buyer?
Speaker 1: How are you saying? I was gonna say, Kevin Byard?
Speaker 1: I like Buyered. It's just bared. Yeah. I don't not
Speaker 1: pronounce that. My apologies, but either way, put some yeah,
Speaker 1: put some respect to him. He's he's a really good player.
Speaker 1: Outside of him, I don't I'm not threatened by anybody.
Speaker 1: I know they're gonna hit you. They're gonna hit you.
Speaker 1: They're they're gonna pay physical, They're gonna give it all
Speaker 1: they have. But I don't see them matching up against
Speaker 1: Dallas's offense. Jeffrey Simmons has been playing really well. The
Speaker 1: defensive got him Deniko Aultry. I mean, they can get
Speaker 1: your old friend Torell Basha to robash him to robsh
Speaker 1: and claimed by the Titans. He's with them. He's here,
Speaker 1: um so, and Darrell Basham knows the Cowboys offense, so
Speaker 1: he's gonna be pissed off. Yeah, you know that he's
Speaker 1: sharing some inside information there, so keep an eye on that.
Speaker 1: Um But yeah, I mean I wonder which time he's
Speaker 1: gonna go after mm hmmmm, which time Tyler new Tie
Speaker 1: probably new Yeah, gets thrown up and thrown out the club. Yeah,
Speaker 1: get your hands on your done. Oh yeah, even at
Speaker 1: the right tackle spot. And he's getting he's getting more
Speaker 1: comfortable over there. The footwork is still a little suspect,
Speaker 1: but he's still he's still tiring. He's still tiring. You're
Speaker 1: going to the locker room, oh yeah, and you're not
Speaker 1: walking there he's throwing you there. Um. I actually like
Speaker 1: the Titans defense. I think they have one or two
Speaker 1: guys that are dudes. And just beginning he putting this name,
Speaker 1: if that time you pronounce it, um, and then you
Speaker 1: know the guys up front because eight sacks for one guy,
Speaker 1: six and a half for another guy, six for another guy.
Speaker 1: They have a rotation of pass rushers that can apply
Speaker 1: pressure in different parts of the of your offensive line.
Speaker 1: Good news for the Cowboys is you do have a
Speaker 1: future Hall of Famer and you know Toronto Smith over
Speaker 1: at right tackle, and Tyler Smith's going to get tested.
Speaker 1: It's going to be yet another game he gets tested.
Speaker 1: I had a fantastic game, by my opinion last week
Speaker 1: against the Philadelphia Eagles. Hopefully he keeps that going overall,
Speaker 1: as far as the season goals, he's had his downs,
Speaker 1: but he's had more ups, and I love what I
Speaker 1: saw against Philadelphia. Connor McGovern continues to play solid ball.
Speaker 1: Tyler Biad has played so well last week he got
Speaker 1: a sticker. And I don't know about the other shows
Speaker 1: around the world that cover the Cowboys, but I can
Speaker 1: say that this season we have consistently given roses to
Speaker 1: Tyler be so Tyler Bee. We expect that he continues
Speaker 1: to play well. Zach gonna do Zach things. I think
Speaker 1: the Cowboys front will will equip Themsel was pretty well
Speaker 1: against a very very capable Titans defense, but neutralize that
Speaker 1: that pass rush, and it's going to make it that
Speaker 1: much harder for a guy that buyer to make any
Speaker 1: plays or be of any measure of a factor in
Speaker 1: this game. So just just stop winn it up front
Speaker 1: and you won the game. It really for this particular game.
Speaker 1: I know that seems cliche on a week week basis
Speaker 1: because it's true on a week week basis, But some
Speaker 1: teams are more schematically talented and more talented personnel. Why so,
Speaker 1: it's not as simple as simply winning in the trenches.
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to win on the outside when your receivers,
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to win with your tight ends. I
Speaker 1: think this game is just as simple as your front
Speaker 1: five needs to beat the hell out of their front
Speaker 1: five and you win the game. And I think that
Speaker 1: can happen. Yeah, absolutely, I think this offensive line can
Speaker 1: have some success. This is the first time I've looked
Speaker 1: on the other side. Yeah, Simmons has had a really
Speaker 1: good year. And there are some guys across the board
Speaker 1: on this defense that are good together. But they don't
Speaker 1: just have that one guy on the opposite side. They
Speaker 1: have try hard guys. I mean they have high effort Bud.
Speaker 1: He's a high effort guy. He's a motor um. But
Speaker 1: over under over three dno yards passing or under three
Speaker 1: hundre yards passing for over one fifty yards rushing wellell
Speaker 1: Cowboys offense, Cowboys offense? Which one? Which one is more
Speaker 1: more more likely? More likely over yards passing or over
Speaker 1: one hundred fifty yards rushing one. I would say over
Speaker 1: one fifty. Just I just wonder how much they're gonna
Speaker 1: utilize pollard Um with the thigh issue. I don't think
Speaker 1: it's a I'm not saying that in the aspect of
Speaker 1: it being a main concern, but in the aspect of
Speaker 1: if you know he's dealing with it, and Zeke is
Speaker 1: completely healthy, and you know that you have the luxury
Speaker 1: of leaning on Zeke, you lean on Zeke. So for me,
Speaker 1: does that means Zeke gets one fifty or like one thirty?
Speaker 1: I think it's more more likely that the he throws
Speaker 1: deck throws. Yeah, I think that throw. I think that
Speaker 1: throws for three hundred plus. Not by your suggestion you
Speaker 1: don't want them to uncork, you think they will. I
Speaker 1: think that throws three hundred lamb gallup. Hilton is going
Speaker 1: to be unleashed. I think Hilton gets unleashed. I think
Speaker 1: I think they utilize this game to get tighter. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think I can see that as a thought process.
Speaker 1: I was really impressed with the way they stuck with
Speaker 1: the run me too against Philadelphia because there were people
Speaker 1: and I don't I don't understand Cowboys Twitter. Sometimes there
Speaker 1: were people on Cowboys Twitter that have been yeah that
Speaker 1: that we're talking about, Oh, we need to run the
Speaker 1: football consistently, consistently, consistently, and then down by ten against Philadelphia,
Speaker 1: everybody on Cowboys Twitter. Not everybody, but some people on
Speaker 1: Cowboys Twitter were saying, why are we running the ball?
Speaker 1: I was like, they're running the ball to stay consistent
Speaker 1: and setting up a play action and guess what, it worked.
Speaker 1: It absolutely worked later in the game. So I mean
Speaker 1: the way that they were down by ten still consistently
Speaker 1: given it to Ze, consistently given it to Tony when
Speaker 1: it wasn't the most run heavy efficiency game from the
Speaker 1: ground game, they still got it done, and I liked
Speaker 1: that from Callen Moore. I expect more of that against Tennessee.
Speaker 1: All right, With all that being said, Who you got
Speaker 1: on Thursday Night? Football? Cowboys Titans, Amazon Prime Video seven
Speaker 1: o'clock kick, seven fifteen kick? Who you got? I think,
Speaker 1: even with assume Derrick Henry plays, I'm going to make
Speaker 1: my prediction based on Derrick Henry plane. And then if
Speaker 1: he wants to say all starters plot, starters play, all
Speaker 1: starters play. Cowboy Cowboys are the better team. They've hopefully
Speaker 1: learned the lesson that they almost learned against the Texans,
Speaker 1: almost learned against the coachs had to learn the hardway
Speaker 1: against the Jacksonville Jaguars. And I think they finish out
Speaker 1: the AFC South with the victory here. I think they
Speaker 1: go into Music City. Malik Willis might get one, Derrick
Speaker 1: Henry is going to get one couple field goals, So
Speaker 1: that's twenty twenty points for the Titans. Yeah, but then
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott throws thirty times, gets three hundred yards, three touchdowns,
Speaker 1: Zeke gets one, maybe two or split with Tony And
Speaker 1: here's another forty burger forty twenty Cowboys, Music City, another
Speaker 1: one forty two seventeen Cowboys with all the starters involved
Speaker 1: two seventeen, forty two seventeen. Right there, I was thinking
Speaker 1: about sixteen for Tennessee. I don't know if I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go with the forty. I'm gonna say. I'm gonna say
Speaker 1: thirty to sixteen to Dallas. I love water Burger, I
Speaker 1: really do. I love forty burgers, But I just I
Speaker 1: don't think the forty is gonna happen. And then the
Speaker 1: weather is not going to be frightful. No, it'll be
Speaker 1: nice fifties, So it's not one of those Nashville games
Speaker 1: where's snow and nice? Know that? Wait? I thought it
Speaker 1: was supposed to be icy. No, I checked on yesterday. No,
Speaker 1: it's supposed to be icy, because we're gonna check again
Speaker 1: because I checked yesterday. He doesn't get what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Ah yeah, yeah. Because the Cowboys are wearing the all
Speaker 1: white color rush with the white helmet too. Oh it
Speaker 1: looks so good. I can't wait to see it on
Speaker 1: The fit is frosty. Oh bro ice, it's gonna look fantastic,
Speaker 1: all right, scooch Man in Jelie. That doesn't for us
