So all right, Jerry was on 0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:33.680 the radio this morning. Anybody listened to Jerry on the radio. 0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:36.760 The mood was he in good? A good mood, better 0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:40.360 mood than the last three weeks for sure? All of us? Right, 0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:42.920 anyhow did we did we want him in a good mood? 0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:44.960 We don't we want him to be coming on. Well, 0:02:44.960 --> 0:02:47.440 it wasn't in a good mood after the Patriots game, 0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:51.679 and that week didn't go so well. Okay, so but 0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:55.360 it was a hit on radio, Yes it was, but 0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:59.200 that was after the Bears after game. Yeah, and so yeah, 0:02:59.240 --> 0:03:02.560 you're right. Ever, the cryptic messages when was that after? 0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:06.040 What game was that at? The cryptic message the coach 0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:10.520 Garrett will be coaching? Oh in the NFL? That man 0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:14.960 been after I think that was after Thanksgiving. The one 0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:18.600 after the Patriots was about the special teams. Okay, Um, 0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:22.760 we took care of that done, sick took a couple 0:03:22.760 --> 0:03:27.480 of weeks, but got a new kicker in here. So 0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:31.519 so what was a positive tone today? Um? What was 0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:34.320 it about? Got? There were so many things. I don't 0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:38.320 know where do I start. Did you listen? Take notes? 0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:42.200 I just kind of got the vibe of it. And uh, 0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:45.200 he did crack one joke okay about you know, watching 0:03:45.240 --> 0:03:47.520 what he says. Otherwise he gets cut off on the 0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:51.400 on the radio. I explained to him last night what happened. 0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:54.560 He didn't understand what happened. Wait, they didn't. No one 0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:57.080 told him. I don't think anybody told him that when 0:03:57.120 --> 0:04:00.960 you say two words that you have to get dumped automatically, 0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:04.200 the system cuts you off. Yeah. I think it wasn't 0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:07.560 a good time for anyone to correct Jerry that bad. 0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:11.200 He's just not figured. They just not telling them. So 0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:13.440 after a win, you tell them after I explained it 0:04:13.480 --> 0:04:15.920 to him last night last Okay, you brought up last 0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:18.720 night twice now, So so what was this last night? 0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:21.279 The Christmas party? Oh yeah, the Christmas party with Jerry? 0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:24.240 Last night with Jerry. Yeah, just you and Jerry, just 0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:28.080 me and ye cozy about the fire for five minutes, 0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:33.400 making name dropping. Here at the top, he gets tugged 0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:36.920 in a lot of different cinnamon and tea right yeah, right, yeah, 0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:39.480 green right, green tea. Right, Yeah, he was. Yeah, he's 0:04:39.480 --> 0:04:41.200 in a good mood. I told him to keep giving 0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:45.200 those guys help. Yeah, go ahead, this is handed me 0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:58.039 right here, he's handed Jones where Nick Jr. Oh, I 0:04:58.080 --> 0:05:03.160 don't think that's a copy prepared because you give him 0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:05.240 hell every day on the radio, right Ricky when they 0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:11.520 allowed me to Yeah yeah, okay, so you didn't You 0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:13.920 didn't watch any Monday night football. I didn't keep an 0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:18.039 eye on it. Okay, it was well once I saw 0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:20.720 it seventeen to nothing. I said, Okay, nothing's going to happen, 0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:25.000 and then I think I peeked, uh Breeze set the touchdown? 0:05:25.480 --> 0:05:28.880 Did Yeah? I saw that. Even Ellen. Even Ellen tweeted 0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:31.760 in on that one. I didn't know he was so popular. Yeah, 0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:35.640 and Tom Brady tweeted congratulations. And it sounds like Tom 0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:38.840 Brady's ready on Saturday against the Bills to go after 0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:41.560 that record. I hear you got fired up. And it 0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:44.960 wasn't about him on Monday night, So you go, he's 0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:48.400 supposed to be about Tom. Terrific Tom. So have the 0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:50.880 Colts fallen apart? Or was that just like a great 0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:54.359 They've they have not played well here lately. It was 0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:57.360 may have been a mirage, maybe good coaching, maybe whatever. 0:05:57.440 --> 0:05:59.680 The first half of the season's one of those Super 0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:03.440 Bowls things. That was just one of those moments. They 0:06:03.480 --> 0:06:07.280 played a great game the week prior, but they lost, right, 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:08.840 But it was a lot of fight. You want to 0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:11.560 see fight. There was no fight last night. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:06:11.560 --> 0:06:13.600 it was I They're done. It was it was homecoming 0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:15.440 last night. You know, we got to celebrate through what 0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:18.000 it was. He's like, thirty seven to nothing, thirty four 0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:21.040 to seven the final score. But did you see Breeze's 0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:25.280 stat line? He was twenty nine out of thirty. No, 0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:31.120 we was football football. That's not football because it just 0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:33.920 doesn't happen. You got the ball man on both sides. 0:06:34.000 --> 0:06:38.320 Come on, god, that was just so bad man. It's like, 0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:42.200 it's hard to do that, yes, because even you're gonna 0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:44.960 drop at least the pass. And with him, he's a 0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:47.440 shorter quarterback, so usually he's got at least one or 0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:50.600 two get tipped during the course. And I know he's amazing. 0:06:50.640 --> 0:06:52.920 I am not arguing that fact, but come on, guys, 0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:55.920 you can't do that against nine thirty three or seven, 0:06:56.240 --> 0:06:58.200 twenty nine for thirty for like three or seven or 0:06:58.200 --> 0:07:01.440 something in four touchdowns and for touchdowns whenever he felt 0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:05.320 like it, whenever he felt like it. Well, and how 0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:08.280 about this about Drew Brees. We is a state championship 0:07:08.320 --> 0:07:11.560 week here, Okay, Drew Brees at Austin Westlake. It was 0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:15.560 nineteen ninety five or nineteen ninety six, he won the 0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:19.280 state championship. Think about how long this guy and Brady 0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:22.960 for that matter, have been playing football. I mean, you 0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:26.040 people look at his size. I mean, he's a smaller guy. 0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:29.240 You would think he couldn't last all those years that 0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:32.560 the shoulder injury. Seemed like he got better after the 0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:36.240 shoulder injuries. It's a career that you wouldn't figure what happened. 0:07:36.320 --> 0:07:38.320 And it started to San Diego. Yeah, and it started 0:07:38.320 --> 0:07:41.080 his career at San Diego and not playing you know, right, 0:07:41.200 --> 0:07:43.880 you think Miami wishes they had passed him on that physical, 0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:49.440 but when was there. It's like everything else. You have 0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:54.360 to have your accomplice. You know, that's Belichick, and that's Brady, 0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:58.200 and and with with Drew because of Sean Payne. Right, 0:07:58.320 --> 0:08:01.320 I mean, of course Drew's amazing, but you have to 0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:04.840 have that accomplice with you to have that type of longevity. 0:08:05.160 --> 0:08:07.680 You can't do it by yourself. All we're going to 0:08:07.800 --> 0:08:10.280 have something bad. You got to have your bad man. 0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:14.000 And think about the circumstances that led to them signing 0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:16.960 Drew Brees because he was coming off that shoulder surgery 0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:20.400 and Miami didn't want to pass them. The Saints are 0:08:20.440 --> 0:08:24.040 going through Katrina basically, and it's like, okay, we got 0:08:24.040 --> 0:08:28.000 to do something, and Peyton says, let's sign Drew Brees 0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:30.080 and they got there together. But they didn't realize they 0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:33.120 had Drew Brees until but they were willing to shake 0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:36.120 hands on it. Yeah, they didn't know what they had paid. 0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:39.680 I remember correctly. When they signed them. They paid them. 0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:42.439 You know, it was like a huge contract, but it 0:08:42.520 --> 0:08:44.680 was all in the first year and they could get 0:08:44.679 --> 0:08:47.760 out of it the second year without a big salary 0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:50.680 cap penalty. So they said, Okay, let's do a look 0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:53.800 see contract. Well they looked in. Boy, that we see. 0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:57.560 So the Cowboys win this week, make the playoffs, and 0:08:57.640 --> 0:09:01.480 for all the playoff teams, does the road to the 0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:04.440 Super Bowl now go through New Orleans? I'm not saying 0:09:04.440 --> 0:09:07.360 about home field advantage, but is that the team that 0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:10.520 when you see how that offense is now playing. Whether 0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:13.800 they're the only team right now that has clinched their division? 0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:17.480 I believe they everybody else's the other teams have clinched 0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:20.120 a playoff spot, but not the division. Yeah, but that 0:09:20.200 --> 0:09:23.000 doesn't say much about where the world goes. Well, they're 0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:26.839 eleven and three a week ago, and the road went 0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:30.480 through San Francisco literally and figuratively. And then Atlanta goes 0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:34.440 to San Francisco and beat San Francisco. So Seattle just 0:09:34.520 --> 0:09:37.679 loses Josh Gordon. I think technically they're still the top seat, 0:09:38.160 --> 0:09:41.360 but they play San Francisco in week seventeen. Correct. That's 0:09:41.360 --> 0:09:43.600 why I'm kind of I'm a little heads and that's 0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:45.880 why I'm not talking. I'm not talking what home field. 0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:49.560 I'm talking, which is like from a Cowboys perspective, let's 0:09:49.640 --> 0:09:53.400 dream a little here. Okay, where where would they be? 0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:56.320 The toughest place to play to win? Oh, it's no 0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:59.240 doubt to me. Super Dome, Yeah, it's no doubt about it. 0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:04.920 The Super Dollar in a championship playoff atmosphere the worst 0:10:04.960 --> 0:10:07.840 place to play. I told you the crowd sounds like 0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:11.000 they're engineered. You know, after a while, it's not voices, 0:10:11.080 --> 0:10:14.240 it's it's an engine. It becomes a whole different entity 0:10:14.280 --> 0:10:17.000 when it's that loud, and it's like you got someone 0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:20.920 controlling the volume at will, and you can say what 0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:24.679 you want. When the Cowboys played there in the Superdome, 0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:28.360 they could have gotten being worse than they did. Let's 0:10:28.360 --> 0:10:31.520 just say it like it is no communication. The crowd 0:10:31.559 --> 0:10:36.280 itself is their twelfth and thirteenth man, and against a 0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:39.760 great defense as well at that time, which sailed great defense. 0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:43.080 Everyone was putting it down after a while now you 0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:45.720 realize that that's really one of the most solid defenses 0:10:46.120 --> 0:10:49.360 in the league. It wasn't just at first eight games. 0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:52.400 They have continued to be the most solid defense in league. 0:10:52.440 --> 0:10:55.000 So you have crowd control, the crowd noise, and you 0:10:55.080 --> 0:10:57.920 got defense. Cowboys are lucky they didn't get be worse. 0:10:58.000 --> 0:11:01.840 Nut twelve ten was all the thanks to two losing 0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:04.760 those two fumbles going over the fifty yard long. Of course, 0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:08.320 with Bridgewater at quarterback right the first full game, what 0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:10.439 they what they did without Breeze for five or six 0:11:10.559 --> 0:11:13.880 games undefeated. To me, that's the mark of the best 0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:15.920 team in the league because that just shows the rest 0:11:15.920 --> 0:11:19.280 of your roster and what you can do without a 0:11:19.360 --> 0:11:23.080 Hall of Fame quarterback. So yeah, I'm with Everson on that. 0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:25.000 Although Seattle is always tough if you got to go 0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:27.320 up there. So if you're going to paint a scenario 0:11:27.480 --> 0:11:30.800 for the Cowboys, okay, they win, you want to host 0:11:31.200 --> 0:11:36.240 San Francisco or Seattle, I don't think it makes a difference. Well, 0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:39.440 but but think about it this way. You host Seattle, 0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:43.040 you're not playing up there in that loud place, okay, 0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:46.600 And so you okay, and we're dreaming here. We're dreaming here, 0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:51.280 and then you got the wild card game. Right as 0:11:51.280 --> 0:11:53.600 far as as far as dreaming goes, I would rather 0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:56.520 play Seattle, okay here, I would rather do and I'm 0:11:56.559 --> 0:12:01.920 also be painting we played two exactly. They're more familiar 0:12:01.960 --> 0:12:04.400 with them. Although, man, you give Russell Wilson one shot 0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:06.640 to win a game, that's that's tough there. But you're right, 0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:09.880 they're not as familiar with San Francisco. We played them well, yeah, 0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:11.960 I mean even going back to remember when we went 0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:14.040 up there and blew them out in Seattle one year, 0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:17.760 which was amazing and that was on heard of at 0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:19.480 the time. He should have beat them up there in 0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:22.240 two thousand and six. Mobile quarterbacks this year have not 0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:26.360 been the strength for this defense. That was the cowboy defense. 0:12:26.400 --> 0:12:30.760 That's fair, that's what days ago. And this is we're 0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:34.079 playing fantasy football here, okay, this is this is fantasy time, 0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:37.400 all right. Okay, So then you would then play at 0:12:37.440 --> 0:12:40.319 San Francisco in the divisional playoff round and then that 0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:48.760 probably invite me up and then yeah, that's already got that, 0:12:51.920 --> 0:12:54.400 and then you hope Green Bay beats New Orleans and 0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:58.000 the other divisional playoffs. So you don't go to New Orleans. Instead, 0:12:58.080 --> 0:12:59.880 you get to play at lambeau Field. Yeah, I know 0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:04.840 if that is tough, but I don't know. All Right, 0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:08.360 all right, Bill, you got it figured? Super Bowl?

Art Nickey, yes or Rob, either one of you. 0:17:01.240 --> 0:17:03.200 You got some news on what's going on here with 0:17:03.280 --> 0:17:08.200 this Cowboys team. Mick Cowboys had two workouts at linebacker. 0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:11.760 Jason Garrett said that they needed to do something with 0:17:11.840 --> 0:17:16.000 the linebacker position, and they worked out two veteran guys. 0:17:16.000 --> 0:17:19.440 They're on the street right now, which you got to say, 0:17:20.280 --> 0:17:23.600 but that's what else would be available at this time 0:17:23.640 --> 0:17:26.960 of the year when thirty two teams have sixty three 0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:29.560 guys on their roster and these guys are out there. 0:17:29.640 --> 0:17:36.720 So Malcolm Smith had played at USC and Seattle. I'm 0:17:36.840 --> 0:17:40.119 guessing with Rochard at USC two right, Yeah, before he 0:17:40.240 --> 0:17:42.680 got to the Seahawks, so he knows a little bit 0:17:42.720 --> 0:17:47.280 about the former Super Bowl forty eight MVPs thirty years 0:17:47.320 --> 0:17:49.840 old and then the other guy, twenty eight year old 0:17:49.920 --> 0:17:56.199 Ray Ray Armstrong. He played with six different teams. He 0:17:56.280 --> 0:18:01.040 was released by Cleveland after Camp. San Francisco picked him 0:18:01.119 --> 0:18:04.520 up and then they oh no, yeah, they picked him 0:18:04.600 --> 0:18:08.520 up and then let him go. So two guys that 0:18:08.560 --> 0:18:10.639 are kind of out there, but they need depth with 0:18:10.680 --> 0:18:13.399 the amount of injuries they have Robert Yeah, and you know, 0:18:13.560 --> 0:18:15.800 late in the season two Smith, we'll see what they do. 0:18:15.920 --> 0:18:19.160 But experience with Richard, I think he's one of seven 0:18:19.280 --> 0:18:22.600 defensive players to win the Super Bowl MVP. So pick 0:18:22.680 --> 0:18:25.000 six at Peyton Manning, that's that's impressive, but a long 0:18:25.040 --> 0:18:27.320 time ago, but he does have familiarity in that scheme. 0:18:27.800 --> 0:18:31.160 Gifford is looking at at surgery for the arm fracture 0:18:31.680 --> 0:18:34.520 that could sideline him several weeks. And you know, Jason 0:18:34.560 --> 0:18:36.919 Garrett said yesterday not sure about his roster spot, but 0:18:37.000 --> 0:18:39.240 you can put him on IR and create an open 0:18:39.320 --> 0:18:41.960 spot because you're you're hurting at linebacker right now. There's 0:18:41.960 --> 0:18:45.639 not a definite timetable for vander esh right now with 0:18:45.720 --> 0:18:47.720 the neck injury, and Thomas is going to try to 0:18:47.720 --> 0:18:50.359 work through the knee thing this week. But you know, 0:18:50.440 --> 0:18:55.040 they're they're clearly banged up and Shawn's obviously had problems 0:18:54.000 --> 0:18:58.040 in him together from the game. Yeah, so they need 0:18:58.040 --> 0:19:00.360 to they need to piece it together for Philly, right Yeah, 0:19:00.480 --> 0:19:02.960 so we'll see if they signed one of them. They 0:19:03.080 --> 0:19:07.119 the workout was this morning, all right, Rob, how many 0:19:07.240 --> 0:19:11.480 Super Bowl MVPs from the defensive side? It was seven? 0:19:11.800 --> 0:19:15.080 So and I know that three triggers the question how 0:19:15.119 --> 0:19:21.200 many are Cowboys? Four? That's what is that? Right? Larry Brown? 0:19:21.560 --> 0:19:27.000 Larry Brown, Harvey Martin and Randy White and Chuck on 0:19:27.119 --> 0:19:30.840 the losing team losing only still the only one on 0:19:30.920 --> 0:19:34.320 the team from a losing team. Yeah, he must have 0:19:34.320 --> 0:19:37.760 been bawling three pigs. And that was back in before 0:19:39.040 --> 0:19:42.080 lost the bottomore game that we should have won. Yeah, 0:19:42.200 --> 0:19:45.639 not for Jack Fettie the referee. No, is that the 0:19:45.960 --> 0:19:51.200 John McKee Dave Manders recovered a fumble on the goal 0:19:51.240 --> 0:19:55.600 line and went to the Colts instead. So that's Gerald 0:19:55.680 --> 0:20:00.000 Brown started the weird stuff happening to the Cowboys in playoffs. Right, 0:20:00.119 --> 0:20:02.840 that's why. Actually that ended the weird stuff. Really, No, 0:20:03.000 --> 0:20:06.560 it's continued. We'll go taking two thousand and six. Right. 0:20:07.440 --> 0:20:10.080 That's why. That's why I don't feel any any empathy 0:20:10.119 --> 0:20:13.119 for the Saints. You know, they always fussing about it. 0:20:13.280 --> 0:20:16.240 They don't get the day. We are the grandfathers of 0:20:16.320 --> 0:20:18.640 bad calls. And the reason I say that that ended 0:20:18.800 --> 0:20:21.280 is because the next year the Cowboys won the Super Bowl, 0:20:21.400 --> 0:20:24.280 of course, and they were next year's champions from you 0:20:24.320 --> 0:20:28.000 know through the NFL championship games against the Packers and 0:20:28.000 --> 0:20:30.320 then playoff loss as well. Let me go back to 0:20:30.359 --> 0:20:33.960 Pittsburgh the Bittie Bonn's passing affairs. There you go against it? 0:20:34.040 --> 0:20:37.760 Did start it? Come on, I'm with you, Come on, man, 0:20:37.880 --> 0:20:42.640 it was just crazy not to mention Vince Lombardi gambling 0:20:42.640 --> 0:20:44.280 when he should have kicked a field goal in the 0:20:44.320 --> 0:20:46.960 Ice Bowl to tie the game and send it into overtime. 0:20:47.840 --> 0:20:54.080 Were according to Tech shram to Tech shrams, Di, that 0:20:54.200 --> 0:20:57.160 was the worst. That was the worst decision of any 0:20:57.280 --> 0:21:01.600 NFL coach ever. Rob, Can you give us a report 0:21:01.280 --> 0:21:07.080 on injury situation at this Cowboys team? The injury situation 0:21:07.160 --> 0:21:10.400 and why these linebackers are in here for looks? Didn't 0:21:10.400 --> 0:21:12.080 I just say it? Did I just break it down? 0:21:12.200 --> 0:21:16.399 I think Gifford Luke Gifford, Yeah, surgery arm. Looks like 0:21:16.400 --> 0:21:19.639 he's had it for surgery. Joe, he's out then, because 0:21:19.680 --> 0:21:22.360 if you if you got a broken bone in your arm, 0:21:22.440 --> 0:21:26.679 that's six weeks, right, how many weeks? Oh? He might 0:21:26.800 --> 0:21:28.800 as Jack Young bug he might get back for the 0:21:28.800 --> 0:21:31.680 Super Bowl. Yeah, so there, I am every ready to go. 0:21:34.080 --> 0:21:36.879 I mentioned Joe Thomas, you weren't listening to earlier, was 0:21:38.080 --> 0:21:43.439 looking at defensive I was like he was. I was 0:21:43.520 --> 0:21:47.320 googling super Bowl MVP. So Bill the only guy I got. 0:21:47.359 --> 0:21:50.000 I lost you, Rob when you said the defensive super 0:21:50.000 --> 0:21:52.359 Bowl MVPs. I was I know ever you said it, 0:21:52.400 --> 0:21:59.399 I know, drive that driving that bus. Yeah. CJ Goode. CJ. 0:21:59.520 --> 0:22:02.120 Goodwin is had surgery yesterday on his thumb, but they 0:22:02.119 --> 0:22:03.879 think he might be able to play this week. Can you, 0:22:04.119 --> 0:22:07.119 as a corner, can you play with a surgically repaired 0:22:07.119 --> 0:22:09.360 thumb a few days later? Yeah? You can't. Yeah yeah, 0:22:09.480 --> 0:22:13.919 affection ball be good? No, well, well we're talking cowboy 0:22:14.000 --> 0:22:17.680 defensive back. Oh yeah, so there's no problem we don't. 0:22:19.359 --> 0:22:22.160 I mean, we could cut his hands off. I maybe 0:22:22.240 --> 0:22:25.440 we could still play the way we play. Okay, oh wow, 0:22:25.800 --> 0:22:28.800 we have we go out there with a handsless defensive 0:22:28.840 --> 0:22:33.880 back and Savage just got a table. Yeah, just throw 0:22:33.920 --> 0:22:37.280 that shell in there. Man. Good and they and they, 0:22:37.320 --> 0:22:39.479 by the way, they they we didn't even get to 0:22:39.520 --> 0:22:44.359 know Cyril Grayson, but he signed Tampa Bay, so they 0:22:44.400 --> 0:22:46.600 guess they were looking for speed down the way, so 0:22:46.640 --> 0:22:50.200 they got two practice squad openings they do because so 0:22:50.240 --> 0:22:52.960 there's two openings there, and then they're trying to get 0:22:53.000 --> 0:22:55.560 somebody on the fifty three man roster. So they got 0:22:55.560 --> 0:22:59.000 some work to do here, all right. The a couple 0:22:59.040 --> 0:23:02.760 of guys were let around the league, Terrell Suggs picked 0:23:02.800 --> 0:23:07.040 up by Kansas City and mister cornerback over here, Genor's 0:23:07.200 --> 0:23:10.719 Jenkins picked up by the New Orleans Saints. So we 0:23:10.720 --> 0:23:13.200 were just talking about the Saints and how they rank 0:23:13.359 --> 0:23:15.679 right up there at the top of the NFC. What 0:23:15.800 --> 0:23:19.600 does that do to your defensive back room when let's 0:23:19.600 --> 0:23:21.679 say you're on that team with the New Orleans Saints 0:23:21.680 --> 0:23:24.159 and now here comes Jenora's Jenkins in the room. Well, 0:23:24.240 --> 0:23:27.280 to me, I've always thought the defensive backs were the 0:23:27.280 --> 0:23:31.159 weakness of the Saints uh defense. Period. They've always had 0:23:31.240 --> 0:23:34.200 issues with one on one. They've been saved by that 0:23:34.560 --> 0:23:38.560 front seven. But whenever they've gotten time, whenever the offense 0:23:38.600 --> 0:23:41.560 has gotten time against the Saints, they have toasted their 0:23:41.640 --> 0:23:45.239 dbs pretty well. And Jenkins is no exception. When he 0:23:45.280 --> 0:23:50.800 was in New York, right, we feasted on him. Jack Rabbit, Yeah, yeah, 0:23:51.640 --> 0:23:55.159 Jack Rabbit, jenk and man he will he will bite 0:23:55.160 --> 0:23:58.320 on a pass? Will yes, see to me that vans 0:23:58.359 --> 0:24:01.080 offense there, that's a van the offense. I don't see 0:24:01.160 --> 0:24:02.960
