Speaker 1: WBC studios at the Star in Frisco with Isaiah stand Back,

10
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: Patrick Nosy Walker. I'm Kyle Yeoman's Chris Beam in the

11
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: back as always, gentlemen, how are we doing? Fantas fantastic cool?

12
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: So moving in two week eighteen? Is it crazy to

13
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: you that we are in the final week of the

14
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: regular season? Tom Flies? It does, fly Man. But the

15
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: good thing is we won't be done. What was the

16
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: last questions? Like, Kawi for a second? You like that

17
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,479
Speaker 1: the year one by entirely too fast? Yeah, hopefully we're

18
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,479
Speaker 1: not anywhere near the finish all. I was thinking about

19
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: it the other day. We were going two Cincinnati or

20
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 1: playing Cincinnati in Week two, not knowing what this team

21
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: was going to look like. Dak Prescott injured nineteen to

22
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,199
Speaker 1: three in Week one. Doesn't that seem like four ever ago?

23
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: I mean, that seems like another lifetime. How long ago

24
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: those games were happening early in the season. But at

25
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: the same time, I also feel like we just were

26
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: a training camp. We were just in Oxnard getting this

27
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: thing started. So it's kind of a weird paradox of

28
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: time of the way that the NFL season has gone.

29
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: But I'm happy to be where we are at the moment. Well,

30
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: it's you know, like we said all season, and particularly

31
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,359
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the season, you suffer that just

32
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: Abismo loss to the Tampa by Buccaneers, and then you

33
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: lose Dak Prescott, and you know, all of a sudden,

34
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: fans are saying the sky is falling. You know, media

35
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: pundits are saying the sky is falling. But we did not.

36
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 1: We said there's a lot of football to be played.

37
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: And there was even even Isaiah, who's like the leader

38
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: of the chart sometimes when the sky is falling Badwagon,

39
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 1: even he was like, hold up, let's let's top the

40
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,519
Speaker 1: brakes here. Yeah, a lot of football that needed to

41
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 1: be played, and now the Cowboys played it and applied

42
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,239
Speaker 1: pressure to the Philadelphia Eagles going into week eighteen, and

43
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: like Asaiah said, hopefully there's a lot more football to

44
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: be played because as everyone knows, this is the starting

45
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: line next week with Super wild Card weekend, so this

46
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: is not the finish line. The regular season has ended

47
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: or is about to end. But then dance, it's coming.

48
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: It's time for the prom That's the thing about where

49
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are right now after that start is everything

50
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: is still on the table for you. Every single goal

51
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,079
Speaker 1: you set out to start when you did start in

52
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 1: Oxnard is still there. Win your division. You could win

53
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:17,959
Speaker 1: that this week. Now you need a little bit of

54
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:19,799
Speaker 1: help to do so. You've needed a little bit of

55
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: help to do so, maybe a lot of help, but

56
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: you could still do that. Be the number one seed

57
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,359
Speaker 1: in the NFC. You need a little bit more help

58
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 1: to be the number one seed in the NFCA. However,

59
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: you can still do that. You could still make a run,

60
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: you could still get a buy, you could still go

61
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: to the wild card and make a run from there. Regardless,

62
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: if you've got everything in front of you going into

63
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: the final week, of the regular season. If I were

64
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: to tell you that and then also say that you

65
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: matched your win total from last year, what would you

66
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: say about this season? Ridiculous? This season has just been

67
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: there's no way right. I mean, I figured the Cowboys

68
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: would would fight the adversity, and you know that's why

69
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: I figured they've bounced back and defeat the Bengals, even

70
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: after you know the the what happened in Week one,

71
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: including the loss of Dak Prescott. But you know, even me,

72
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: even myself, having predicted a twelve and five season back

73
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: in March when I was looking forward, you know, having

74
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: some foresight for the season, obviously didn't predict that you

75
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: lose Dak Prescott for five games, etcetera, etcetera. Still on,

76
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 1: that didn't change it. But nonetheless, I'm not mad at

77
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 1: anyone who might have predicted twelve and then saw the

78
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: loss of Dak Prescott and then shaved it back to

79
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: ten or nine wins. I mean that that was just

80
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: logical to do so. But again, here they are twelve

81
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 1: on the cusp of potentially getting thirteen, thirteen and four

82
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 1: after losing your starting quarterback for five games. The Eagles

83
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 1: couldn't get one win with their starting quarterback, I mean

84
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 1: with their backup quarterback, and they're supposed to be world beaters.

85
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: So you know, shout out out to the Cowboys, and

86
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: it is something that you said yesterday and we really

87
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 1: need to just give kudos to this coaching staff has

88
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 1: been magnificent. They've they've whether the storm, yeah they have not.

89
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: With the win over Tennessee, they have now registered a

90
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 1: season in which no two game losing stream none. I

91
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: think the only other team that has that can boast

92
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 1: that now that the Eagles have suffered that are the

93
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings, and I know the Kansas City Chiefs, so

94
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: I think if the Vikings were to lose in Week eighteen,

95
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: then only the Chiefs and Cowboys could could make that claim.

96
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: And that's pretty good company right there. Yeah, last time

97
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: the Cowboys have lost back to back games was the

98
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 1: week eleven, Week twelve, the short week with Kansas City

99
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: and Las Vegas going into Thanksgiving in twenty twenty one.

100
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: So it's been a long time since you've lost back

101
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 1: to back matchups in the same season. So that's always

102
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: fun to look at now kind of makes me one funny.

103
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: I always want to beat the rivals. I want to

104
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: beat everybody, sure in fact this period. But funny thought

105
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 1: on the way here, you know, team hasn't lost two

106
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: in a row. You know, maybe to guarantee that first

107
00:05:56,120 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: playoff around win, maybe you drop one and watch drop one. Yeah,

108
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: don't do it though, stop but yeah, don't do it.

109
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: But just funny thought, I said, funny thought. Yeah, it's funny.

110
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 1: I got my laugh. And now let's move on. All right, Yeah,

111
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: let's let's pretend like that one didn't happen. Isaiah's just

112
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: looking down at his iPad or as a tablet right now.

113
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 1: I'm looking into the percentages of the scenarios, potential scenarios

114
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 1: I knew as I knew it the question. That's that's

115
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: where I'm That's where I'm looking at. So I'm looking

116
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 1: at the percentage of chance that they win with the vision,

117
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 1: the conference and you know host A, you know, the

118
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 1: two seed, like I'm looking at all those Okay, so

119
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you the scenarios that it takes while

120
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: you find the percentages of of the likelihood of each

121
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: of those scenarios. So Dallas has to win regardless if

122
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: they lose. There the five seed, plain and simple boom,

123
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 1: there you go. So that's the one to the five.

124
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: Those are the three potential seeds for the Cowboys. If

125
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: you lose, you're the five. If Philly wins, you are

126
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 1: also the five. Or ties. Philly wins or ties in

127
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,039
Speaker 1: their matchup against the New York Giants, you are the five.

128
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: So there you go. There's scenarios one and two that

129
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: lead to the five. If you are going to win

130
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: your division, you need Philadelphia to lose and you need

131
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 1: to win as well. That would make you the two

132
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: seed if San Francisco wins. So San Francisco is playing

133
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals Cardinals at four and thirteen right now

134
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: or whatever it ends up. I think four and twelve

135
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: probably going to be four and thirteen. The possibility that

136
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: you are going to be the one seed is very

137
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:26,679
Speaker 1: low because it would take Philadelphia and San Francisco losing,

138
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: plus you would have to be point washington point zero

139
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: seven percent chance that you're the one seed. Yeah, that's fair. Honestly,

140
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: that's a fair percent. There's a shot, one point seven

141
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: point seven shot, So curve this not even a full

142
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: percentage point. So if you're looking at it in a

143
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: in a fraction, that is point o seven out of one,

144
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 1: So not a whole lot to look at there, However,

145
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: it's something you need. What's do you have the ones

146
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: for winning your division against Philly? Winning the division is

147
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: six percent? Six percent? Yeah? And then and that would

148
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: mean you're the two seed and you would play either

149
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: Green Bay or Detroit. The winner of that game, yeah,

150
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: would win a division. The Cowboys need to win. Eagles

151
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 1: need to say Green Bay or Detroit. Right to secure

152
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: the top seed, they need to win. Eagles need to

153
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: lose forty nine, Ers need to lose correct. Yeah. Yeah.

154
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: To be the two seed, you need to win. Eagles

155
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: need to lose, correct, and then everything else leads to

156
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: the five seed at Tampa Bay in wild Card weekend.

157
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 1: Who would you rather face Tampa? Tampa? Not even a question?

158
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 1: Not over Green Bay right now? Tampa give me Tampa,

159
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,559
Speaker 1: give me on the road or at home against green Bay?

160
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: Well so, so say well, because you're at home against

161
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:49,839
Speaker 1: green Bay. You know I how Tom Brady in the

162
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:53,199
Speaker 1: highest of his teams play with him, he's the goat. Okay,

163
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 1: he's still fully capable of playing really well. Mike Evans

164
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 1: Finally they finally connected last week. They figure that out. Okay,

165
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: two plush yards, even with those guys figuring it out,

166
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: even with them having all their weapons and all that, Jazz,

167
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 1: I believe that we match up really well against Tampa.

168
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: Beginning of the year, we took that ill and I

169
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: felt like we were gonna take that all right right now,

170
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: if we played Tampa, I feel very confident in our

171
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: ability to shut down what they do well because I

172
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: don't believe that their office A line can handle the

173
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: defensive front of Dallas. And that's both in the running

174
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: game because they don't have a solid running game, so

175
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 1: they have to depend on their passing game and well,

176
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: they don't have the most mobile quarterbacks regardless of how

177
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: smart and intellectually intelligent here. So I think that Dallas

178
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,199
Speaker 1: has advantage against Tampa. You go to Green Bay, it's

179
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: kind of funny. They have less weapons than Tampa, but

180
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: they have a dude who has a drive. Out of

181
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: this world. Now, when I say that, people are automatically

182
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: gonna look at it and say, well, Tom Brady doesn't

183
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: have a drive. Absolutely, he has a drive, But Tom

184
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 1: Brady isn't as streaky as Aaron Rodgers. And when Aaron

185
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 1: Rodgers is in Aaron Rodgers mode. It's I don't care

186
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,559
Speaker 1: who's receiving the ball. He's a dude, and I just

187
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 1: you just don't want to face him, especially in Green Bay. Well, well,

188
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: first of all, let me say this, I think the

189
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 1: Lions are gonna beat them. I think, dude, we're gonna

190
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 1: we're gonna pick that game on Friday, and I might

191
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:25,959
Speaker 1: I like Detroit. Yeah there's you don't want to face

192
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 1: Detroit either? Yeah, I think I would if you had

193
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: to give me the option. I'm just saying, but like

194
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:32,959
Speaker 1: detroits of dangerous team. We talked about that when we

195
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 1: face them, right, they hit the crap out of us. Yeah,

196
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: with the fighting Dan Camp, they'll bite off some knee caps. Yeah. Um.

197
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: I mean I say that to say I don't think

198
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 1: this is going to be a conversation next week. But

199
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: to answer your question, I honestly don't care. And I

200
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: understand why people do, because it's all about matchups and

201
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,319
Speaker 1: I get it. I get the science behind it, But

202
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: for me, it's about Catharsis, right. Um. And And you know,

203
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: to kind of glance over to MLB for a quick second,

204
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: and you know, you guys know how much I love

205
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,439
Speaker 1: my braves but this is a situation where be it

206
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:09,319
Speaker 1: the slight odds of stealing away the division. Everybody's like

207
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: or not everybody, but a lot of people are like, well,

208
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: go ahead and rest the starters because the chancels are

209
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:17,319
Speaker 1: too slim, etcetera, etcetera. If you follow MLB and you

210
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 1: saw what the Braves were able to do to the Mets,

211
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,319
Speaker 1: all you need is a shot. Okay, But if you

212
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 1: look at the twenty twenty season and you look at

213
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:31,079
Speaker 1: it from the standpoint of how the Braves won that

214
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: World Series, right, they had to go through they had

215
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: to exercise their demons from the Dodgers, they had to

216
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,839
Speaker 1: exercise demons from the Astros. I mean, they had to

217
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: run through goliaths to get it done. And you get

218
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: it done and now no one, no one can question it.

219
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: There are no doubts. So if you had to go

220
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:54,319
Speaker 1: through Rogers and or Brady in order to get the title,

221
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: what questions could haters have for you? Like, what doubts

222
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: could they have? There's nothing, It's at It's pure unadulterated catharsis.

223
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: So I see it from both points. I see the

224
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: matchup thing. Oh well yeah we do, and I agree

225
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 1: we do match up better against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers

226
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 1: than you would Aaron Rodgers. And we know Aaron Rodgers

227
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 1: does love playing an AT and T stadium. We we've

228
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 1: seen that, We've we live in the trauma. We're still

229
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: trying to recover from the trauma of that. Yeah. But

230
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 1: that being said, I just I want to beat the best,

231
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 1: like I want you to show me all this talk

232
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 1: about this team is being special. Okay, show me God,

233
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 1: line up against Tom Brady whom you've never defeated, and

234
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:37,319
Speaker 1: possibly retire him. Okay, invite Aaron Rodgers in and say,

235
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 1: you know what, you are the one who has prevented

236
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 1: You have broken our hearts in the postseason time and again,

237
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: great storyline, it's time for us to break yours en

238
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 1: route to breaking a two and a half decade long drought. Yes,

239
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 1: there's there's a lot to be said for me, for Catharsus,

240
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 1: and that nothing would be more cathartic than to run

241
00:12:55,600 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: through Brady and or Rogers en route to hoisting. Do

242
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: you think do you think we could just fast forward

243
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,439
Speaker 1: to Wildcard weekend? Oh? Because I'm ready in a role

244
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 1: that you got me riled up. But I agree, I

245
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,839
Speaker 1: think that's what the mindset should be going into the

246
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: playoffs this year is I don't care who you are

247
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: on the other side, You're gonna get it. And you've

248
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: talked about that too, Isaiah, You've talked about it before.

249
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 1: Even going into last year's playoff run, you didn't feel

250
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 1: like this team had that mentality. Do they have it

251
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: this year or is it at least a little bit closer?

252
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: I don't feel any better at this point really now

253
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 1: after this week's game. I might feel differently now from

254
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: what I've seen from this team over the last month.

255
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: I do not feel that they have that killer, consistent,

256
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 1: killer instinct right now. I think that you don't know

257
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,559
Speaker 1: what team you're going to see every Sunday? Are we

258
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,679
Speaker 1: Are we nitpicking that too much though, because if they

259
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: win this week against Washington and they put it put

260
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 1: it away, they were able to get it done early.

261
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: They'll enter the playoffs having won seven of their last eight,

262
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,959
Speaker 1: seven of eight so in the season. That's why the

263
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:08,839
Speaker 1: stat line. I don't just look at stat lines. You know,

264
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: you know, I know you don't how you won those games.

265
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 1: And people are gonna say, oll ws aw, Okay, yeah,

266
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: that's true, right, it shows up as a w but

267
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,439
Speaker 1: how you won those games matters as well. Sure, Okay, um,

268
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: how you yeah, exactly. I'm just gonna leave it at that.

269
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: So I agree. I don't feel at this point of

270
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 1: the season that they are complete dogs right now. We'll see.

271
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: And this is why. This is another reason why you

272
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: don't rest starters, no doubt, because you need the momentum.

273
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: And this is why I believe that Brian Dable is

274
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 1: honest when he says no, he's not going to rest starters.

275
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 1: It's because for a similar now, well i'm not going

276
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: to say similar, but not entirely dissimilar reason. The Giants

277
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: need this final game to fine tune some things and

278
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 1: make sure that they're on the right track. The Cowboys,

279
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 1: in the same breath, need this final game against the Commanders,

280
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: not only because they have a very slim chance of

281
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 1: being able to move up from five to possibly two,

282
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: maybe even one. We'll see how things shake out, but

283
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: worst case scenario, they need to make sure that some

284
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 1: of the holes in the run defense is short up,

285
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 1: some of the holes in the secondary are short up.

286
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: Keep in mind, you're Nishan right has played for the

287
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 1: most part better than you would have hoped he would

288
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 1: have played being thrust into the situation he was thrust

289
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 1: in this late in the season after giving Kelvin Joseph

290
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 1: the first couple of nads. That was a lot to

291
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 1: ask of Nishan, Right, he needs this game as well.

292
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: So I say all that to say, you're right. If

293
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: you're talking about the Cowboys team that played the Titans

294
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 1: and lost to the Jaguars going into the playoffs right now,

295
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: there's concern there. But use and utilize this final game

296
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 1: to say, hey, you know what, let's just go beat

297
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 1: the hell out of Washington. Let's just hang fifty on them,

298
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: fifty to three, fifty to zero, and make sure that

299
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 1: this is not only a game that we're using to

300
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: try to better our standing in the playoffs seed, but

301
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 1: also to send the message to the league that hey,

302
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 1: we are ready for the playoffs, so let's let's do it.

303
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 1: So let use this game for that. If nothing knils,

304
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 1: I agree, it's a it's a ramp up, and it's

305
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: also a chance for you to keep your hopes alive

306
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 1: of winning a division and possibly points seven percent chance

307
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 1: to get the bye week, which that bye week is

308
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 1: those odds if there was one team that you think

309
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: would hurt to have the bye week, it might be

310
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 1: San Francisco. That's a team that's won their last nine games.

311
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 1: They're probably gonna win ten straight going into their playoff push.

312
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 1: So you talk about a team that's been playing well

313
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 1: and continuing to win, San Francisco's on that that type

314
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: of tear right now. So a bye week may actually

315
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 1: kind of be counteractive to what they're doing. I could

316
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: see that because you're hitting pause a momentum, whereas Philly

317
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: and Dallas they could each very much so use a

318
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 1: bye week. The thing is when it comes to bye week,

319
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 1: and I don't whole hardly disagree with you. Yeah, when

320
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 1: you have a good percentage of your team that has

321
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: had good playoff experience, you can afford for guys to

322
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: have a week off. You can afford for guys to

323
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: to rest guys right if you're in a position to

324
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: do so, because you are fully they're fully You're fully

325
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 1: confident that with that time off they're still gonna come

326
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 1: back and do their job because the moment's not too

327
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,639
Speaker 1: big for them. Been there before. Counterpoint green Bay. Last year,

328
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,400
Speaker 1: green Bay was the one seed. What happened? They lost

329
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: to the San Francisco forty nine ers, a team that

330
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 1: on paper was not as good as that Green Bay teams.

331
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: And you know what, that's right, But we can all

332
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 1: agree San France mentality is totally different than any other

333
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 1: team in this league. Sure there's they're in a category there, oh,

334
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 1: which is why you don't want to face them, not

335
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:46,479
Speaker 1: from the roster standpoint, from the mentality standpoint, right from

336
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 1: their their their approach to the game is totally different

337
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,640
Speaker 1: than everybody else's. And I'm fully fine standing, I'm all

338
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 1: honest saying that we got to taste of that last year.

339
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 1: Are used? They were not no, no, no, no scared,

340
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: no no, not scary. Say when he got her, it

341
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: doesn't matter who hands the ball off of that, right,

342
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 1: it does not matter. Right. But the thing I'm that's

343
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 1: what I'm waiting to see from Dallas. Dallas on paper

344
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 1: has the best roster in football. They're all healthy, absolutely

345
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: best roster in football. Last year I would have to

346
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: say the same, their roster was substantially better than San Francisco.

347
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 1: What did it come down to? Execution and mentality? I

348
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: haven't seen that dog from Dallas. You don't feel like

349
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 1: Dallas is gonna drag every team that they face. You

350
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 1: don't feel like they're just gonna come out of it.

351
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: Every game that they faced were playing to the level

352
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: of our competition. Fair point, and I agree with that, um.

353
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 1: But here's a counterpoint to that. Which team in the league,

354
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 1: And this is an actual question. Whose team in the

355
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 1: league has shown you that every single week they can

356
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: drag somebody? I think the best team right now is

357
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 1: San Francisco team. Every week they can drag somebody. It

358
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 1: just took them a field. San Francisco's playing with their

359
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 1: third quarterback. I hear what you're saying, and they're still executing.

360
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:58,719
Speaker 1: That's the same level they're beating. Do you feel as

361
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 1: if I do? Every they just showed you they almost lost,

362
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 1: say dragged. I'm not even talking about the points. I'm

363
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 1: talking about physically just beating the crap out of somebody

364
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 1: and controlling the game. It doesn't have to always points

365
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:12,919
Speaker 1: That didn't just happened against the Raiders. The Raiders had

366
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 1: the lead on it, and the Raiders have wanted If

367
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:16,159
Speaker 1: you look on paper, Raiders have a heck of a

368
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 1: freaking roster, and Raiders coaches trash. The coaches trash but

369
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 1: on paper before the season, what was everybody saying, the

370
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 1: Raiders have their roster is freaking ridiculous Chandler Jones. So

371
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,360
Speaker 1: I mean, you can't disregard the fact that they're they're

372
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 1: playing bad, but their roster is still amazing. What I'm

373
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 1: saying is hashtag keep that energy. Again, I don't disagree.

374
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 1: I believe that the Cowboys have shown instances of playing

375
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 1: down the competition. Undeniable, the Coats for three quarters, the

376
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:42,159
Speaker 1: Texans for fifty nine minutes, right, And I'm not going

377
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 1: to say Jacksonville because we agree that Jacksonville is in

378
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 1: a different stratosphere than the Coats, the Texans, and even

379
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 1: the Titans at this point. But played against you know,

380
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: played it with your food against the Tennessee Titans, So

381
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: you're right in that aspect. My point is, be at

382
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs. They've shown that they can play

383
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,640
Speaker 1: down the competition. Buffalo Bills have shown they can play

384
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 1: down the competition. The Philadelphia Eagles with Jalen Hurts have

385
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 1: played down the competition almost lost to the Code. So

386
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 1: can I ask you direct question. My point is, at

387
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 1: this point in the season, because to use Kyle's words,

388
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 1: it is so wide open in both conferences. It's so

389
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: wide open. All you have to make sure that you

390
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 1: do is be the best that particular day. That's it.

391
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 1: That's it, because because you might you might. I totally

392
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 1: agree with you. Yeah, if Dallas shows up Dallas, it

393
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: wins most of these games. Yeah, Okay, I don't I

394
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 1: don't care who they face. Totally agree with you. However,

395
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 1: you don't know what Dallas is gonna show up. Yeah,

396
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 1: And that's the problem that goes back to Patrick's point

397
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: of the only team that can beat this team? Yeah

398
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 1: is this team? Well guess what. They better figure it

399
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 1: out because I can't put them in the same category

400
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 1: as in the confidence going into the playoffs as a Buffalo,

401
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 1: as a Kansas City. I can't do it. I can't

402
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,120
Speaker 1: do it yet. Roster wise, I roster wise, I can. Yeah,

403
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 1: roster wise, like roster wise and coaching you can. Okay,

404
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 1: But unfortunately that's not the whole thing. You just said.

405
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 1: Two AFC teams, by the way, I know, I know,

406
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 1: but I'm just talking about the confidence that you have.

407
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 1: But the competence Saloff, I'm speaking on the confidence that

408
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 1: you have though in those teams. Now right when city

409
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. You expect in the playoffs. Oh, you

410
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 1: think about Dallas in the playoffs, But I think, I think,

411
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 1: I think a large part of that, A part of

412
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 1: that is what you're saying. But the larger driving force

413
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: behind the lack of confidence in the Cowboys being in

414
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 1: the playoffs this season is because of the Cowboys in

415
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 1: the playoffs last season and their inability to make it

416
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,920
Speaker 1: to the playoffs. The season projects so forth and so on.

417
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 1: So until the Cowboys make the run exactly, there's going

418
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 1: to be the psychosis of Cowboys in the playoffs. They

419
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 1: broke them a heart so many times. So I'm not

420
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 1: saying you're wrong, but I think in there, in that

421
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 1: wonderful big brain of yours, is actually trauma speaking more

422
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 1: so than to show me I want to playoff of

423
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 1: which is fair. But I'm saying I want to play

424
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 1: off of that when we come back. Is there a

425
00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 1: psychological advantage of the Cowboys this year that we're not

426
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 1: talking about? Okay, I want to hit it on the

427
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 1: other side of the break when we come back with

428
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 1: more talking Cowboys. When you build, you start with the foundation,

484
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: Back here on talking cowboys. We're continuing the discussion leading

485
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,879
Speaker 1: into the playoffs. I promise we're gonna preview Washington's offense

486
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 1: and Dallas's defense at some point throughout the next twenty

487
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 1: five minutes or so. However, I want to playoff of

488
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 1: what we talked about at the end of that first segment,

489
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 1: because Patrick is talking about how this year has a

490
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 1: chance to be different, and it absolutely does. You every

491
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 1: time there's a chance. Yes, Isaiah's talking about the mindset

492
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 1: and how it's not the same or it is the same.

493
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 1: Early you feel the same as it was last year. Right,

494
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 1: So last year you're going into that playoff game against

495
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 1: San Francisco, a lot of your roster you don't understand

496
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 1: what you're going to get from them in a playoffs scenario.

497
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 1: You had some core guys that have been around since

498
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:14,399
Speaker 1: the last time the Cowboys were in the playoffs, but

499
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 1: for the most part, the roster turnover was much different

500
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:21,639
Speaker 1: from twenty twenty to twenty twenty one. However, from twenty

501
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 1: twenty one to twenty twenty two, is there a psychological

502
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 1: advantage one because it's the majority of the same guys

503
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 1: that are on the field with you this time around

504
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: as they were last time around. Even with some sprinkled

505
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 1: end injuries. There's not a ton of newcomers that are

506
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 1: going out and playing a significant number snaw. So that

507
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 1: means there's a couple I mean, Anthony Barr one of them,

508
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 1: couple guys on the back end. But that's about it. However,

509
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:50,399
Speaker 1: now you have that heartbreak, you have that San Francisco

510
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:53,640
Speaker 1: game to lean back on and say, I don't want

511
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 1: that to happen again. You didn't have that before. And

512
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 1: it's also the first time you've won back to back

513
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 1: twelve win seasons since ninety six? Awesome? Is this the

514
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 1: best chance for the Cowboys psychologically to have an advantage knowing, Okay,

515
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:09,639
Speaker 1: we can't let that happen again. We got to take

516
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:11,719
Speaker 1: care of business in the playoffs whenever we get there.

517
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 1: Absolutely absolutely, heartache helps you. It should learn from if

518
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,200
Speaker 1: you learn from it right, otherwise you're bound to what

519
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 1: repeat it. So I hope that that that hurts. I

520
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: hope they got a little a little, a little stab

521
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:29,119
Speaker 1: in the side right there, kid. I hope that's just uncomfortable, right,

522
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 1: like a little dog on splinter that you want to

523
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 1: get out. I hope that's there because that pain reminds you,

524
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,360
Speaker 1: and when you're reminded of a pain point, you don't

525
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,119
Speaker 1: want to repeat that pain point. So they need that

526
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:43,880
Speaker 1: to drive them towards success. So to answer your question, yes,

527
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 1: my concern is what Dallas does. Let's let me back

528
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 1: it up a little bit. When you think about teams,

529
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:53,439
Speaker 1: if you had to say one way in which your

530
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 1: team was going to beat you, right, you think about

531
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 1: san France, right, we talk about san Fran's mentality. How

532
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 1: san Fran gonna beat you. They're gonna be there physically,

533
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 1: gonna beat you up. Yeah, okay for the full game.

534
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:04,719
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter over time or not. They're gonna beat

535
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 1: you up physically, okay. Kansas City finish, yeah, speed, they're

536
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,919
Speaker 1: gonna score. They're gonna score, right, They're gonna I'll score you. Yeah, right, Dallas,

537
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 1: how's Dallas beat you? To run the ball? Is that

538
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:16,680
Speaker 1: what the first team comes in your mind? I was saying,

539
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 1: pass rush rush, What have we not been? You haven't

540
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:22,640
Speaker 1: been winning on your pass rush? You see what I'm

541
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,399
Speaker 1: saying sometimes about the identity of the team. So so

542
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:27,160
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that there's not other ways to win,

543
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 1: but I'm saying the identity of your team and what

544
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 1: typically would carry you through to beat opponents, and especially

545
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:36,159
Speaker 1: really high opponents. Yeah, you have to be doing that

546
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 1: will and look at even Philly. That's another team that

547
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 1: you would say, what is their identity getting after people?

548
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 1: It's gonna be their defensive front seven. They've been getting

549
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 1: after people. They're the first team. And I god knows

550
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 1: how long there was a stat out there this week

551
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 1: on Twitter. I got to look at it to get

552
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 1: it completely right that had lost after sacking the quarterback

553
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,239
Speaker 1: seven times in a game. So, even as good as

554
00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 1: you are pass rush wise, you gotta have something else

555
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 1: to rely on resolutely. So what all I'm saying is

556
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 1: that Dallas can beat you other ways, but they have

557
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 1: to get their identity back, and right now their identity

558
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 1: is not present. Coupled with you're turning the ball over.

559
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 1: So if you're not so, if you're so, so, what

560
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 1: I'm saying so if you're not getting home? Because that

561
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 1: was west of what everybody fears the team has. There

562
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 1: has to be one thing that teams fear about you.

563
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 1: What do you fear about Dallas pass rush? You fear

564
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 1: don't let them, don't let them boys get home, gone

565
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 1: get in the past. The situation Dalla's gonna get, They're

566
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 1: gonna get home. They're gonna sack you cause you third

567
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 1: and long take the ball away. They haven't been doing that. No, okay, Um,

568
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 1: then you go on the other side of the ball

569
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 1: and we're giving the ball away. So that combination does

570
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,479
Speaker 1: not make me feel good. It doesn't make me feel good.

571
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 1: Not saying that we can't overcome it, not saying that

572
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 1: that light switch can't come back on. But as of

573
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 1: right now, if I'm standing today, that's why I need

574
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 1: this last game to show up. Okay, as of today,

575
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 1: I don't feel that what Dallas does best they are

576
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 1: doing at a high level right now because they're not

577
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 1: and you're giving the ball away. That that scenario right

578
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 1: there on both side of the ball does not equate

579
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 1: two wins in the playoffs. I do feel like they

580
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: still have their identity. They know exactly who they are defensively,

581
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,239
Speaker 1: and they know exactly who they are offensively as far

582
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 1: as run first and then playoff the play action and

583
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 1: get the plays down the field. So I do disagree

584
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 1: in that aspect. I will say the pass rush needs

585
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 1: to get home. That's something that should be no surprise

586
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 1: because if for those that listen to the show religiously,

587
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 1: the receipts are out there, you gotta get home once

588
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 1: you get hands on these guys, whether it be Trevor

589
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 1: Lawrence or you know, Jalen Hurts. Eventually, you know, you

590
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 1: got to bring those guys down to the ground. But

591
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 1: the pass rush disruptions have remained best in the league.

592
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 1: They're still getting back there. I will say, once again

593
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 1: agree with you, it's the giveaways. If you stop giving

594
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 1: the ball away a lot better position, the Cowboys odds

595
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 1: of winning games jump exponentially. So that's what I need

596
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 1: to see from them in the playoffs. You're not going

597
00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 1: to get five or six sacks every game going forward,

598
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 1: hopefully to the super Bowl, because look at the compet

599
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 1: the level of competition you're about to go up against.

600
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 1: But you can continue to get your disruptions as you

601
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 1: have been. You can't continue to get your takeaways as

602
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 1: you have been. But the question is are you going

603
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 1: to give added possessions to Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers

604
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 1: or you know, don't do it. But so if you don't,

605
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 1: you win these games. Say you saw it in Green Bay,

606
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 1: and yeah, I'm not saying, you know, just making the point.

607
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 1: You saw it in Green Bay. So let it be

608
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 1: the throne in their pall. Let the overtime loss in

609
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 1: green Bay, which was irreally similar to the overtime loss

610
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville. I think that that's just the universe sending

611
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 1: the Cowboys a message used to Jacksonville jackbuoys as a

612
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 1: reminder to say, hey, maybe you forgot what happened in

613
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 1: Green Bay, so let's give you a late season reminder

614
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 1: that hopefully will carry you to and through a playoff run.

615
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 1: Because as the Cowboys entered the playoffs that the most

616
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 1: recent humiliation that they have is fairly just. It's just

617
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 1: that it's recent. It just happened a couple of weeks.

618
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 1: Or going Baxonville pick six off the hands of Noah Brown,

619
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 1: you lose that game, and what was Dex's body language

620
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 1: after that game, like, Wow, I can't believe this happened.

621
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 1: Remember that, mister Prescott. Remember that feeling, because you don't

622
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 1: want to feel it a game when you get up,

623
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 1: when you have a lead on the team, whomever you're playing.

624
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 1: And I believe if the Cowboys don't give the ball away,

625
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 1: they're going it doesn't matter who Tom Brady Arrod. They're

626
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 1: going to have a league, and there's going to be

627
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 1: a two score league. Question is can you maintain it,

628
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 1: and yes you can if you don't throw the ball away. Yeah,

629
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 1: those are two games that if you go back and

630
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 1: you look at you had multi score leads and you

631
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 1: blew it against teams at that point that didn't look

632
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 1: like they were great. Now. Jacksonville if they win this week,

633
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 1: they're in the playoffs. Green Bay, if they win this week,

634
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 1: they're in the playoffs. But those are playoff caliber teams

635
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 1: with good quarterbacks. You had them beat, you had them

636
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 1: dead in the water, and you weren't able to close it.

637
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 1: So you know, now you've got you've got the playoff

638
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 1: teams because you know now, I mean, it turns out

639
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 1: they're not world beaters. Wonder who the I mean. That's

640
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 1: the thing though, is if they end up both of

641
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 1: those teams end up winning, which honestly, I think there's

642
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 1: a chance both of them do end up winning. All

643
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 1: four of your losses are against playoff teams. But if

644
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 1: you take half of those away, you're the number one

645
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 1: seed in the in the in the playoffs. You've got

646
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 1: to buy we're not even talking about all this stuff.

647
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 1: But you didn't do it. You didn't take care of business.

648
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 1: So that needs to be a calling card for this

649
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 1: team going into the playoffs. Let's talk about Washington though

650
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 1: coming up this week. The Commanders, they've got their own problems,

651
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 1: their own set of problems. Ron Rivera this morning he

652
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 1: said this. Would you hear what he said this morning

653
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 1: in the press conference, He said he didn't even realize

654
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 1: that it was an elimination sea. He had no idea

655
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 1: it was an elimination game. That talks to their leadership. Yeah,

656
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 1: there's a problem there somewhere they had, Carson Wentzon. They're

657
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 1: now flipping back to Taylor Heney I knew that they

658
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 1: didn't know flipping back to Taylor Haneke and mixing in

659
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 1: the rookie Sam Howell. So that that's the news that

660
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 1: came out this mone good is that they're going to

661
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 1: flip back to Taylor Honekey, but they're also going to

662
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 1: get the rookie some snaps and obviously we don't know

663
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 1: what the person is going to be. But from the

664
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 1: Cowboys standpoint, you've kind of seen this before Driscoll and

665
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 1: Davis Mills Texans so started last week, or you thought

666
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 1: you were going to see it last week with Dobbs

667
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,840
Speaker 1: and Willis in the Minust has changed for Washington now.

668
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,799
Speaker 1: Now Washington is looking towards next year. Now, they're trying

669
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 1: to figure out, Okay, who's gonna be who's gonna be

670
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:26,839
Speaker 1: here next year? We see that. That's why I say

671
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 1: the players. Though the players are, they're more most certainly

672
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 1: fine for the jobs. So absolutely, I still don't believe

673
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:35,880
Speaker 1: the news comes out and everybody's like, yeah, this is

674
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 1: gonna be you know fifty and it should be. But

675
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 1: it should have been regardless of if it was wins Honeker,

676
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 1: how it should have been. It should be exactly that.

677
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:45,880
Speaker 1: So this quarterback news doesn't change that for me, and

678
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 1: we'll talk predictions later in the week. But what it

679
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:50,400
Speaker 1: does do is tell me that the Cowboys might need

680
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 1: to prep a different way. Right you you already played

681
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 1: Taylor Honeke, You played against Carson went several times. You

682
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,800
Speaker 1: know how to play against him. Okay, so just approach

683
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 1: it with kind of like the Texans. It's mindset where

684
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 1: it's just like, okay, we don't know who they're going

685
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 1: to start, and they kind of caught us off guard.

686
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 1: So don't let the commanders get you off guard with

687
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 1: you know, one play, it's how the next plays. Tina

688
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 1: Key wanting the next play is how just be prepared

689
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 1: for that and go do what you were supposed to

690
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 1: do anyway, which is just blow the doors off this

691
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 1: team because it's it's a dysfunctional team. It's a dysfunctional organization,

692
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:22,400
Speaker 1: and there is no reason that they should be in

693
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,400
Speaker 1: this game by the time halftime rose around. They've got

694
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:27,360
Speaker 1: a lot of issues. But is this a better Washington

695
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 1: roster than you saw in week four? Yes? I think

696
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 1: so too, Yes, but we can't talk about that till

697
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:36,560
Speaker 1: tomorrow because it's on the defensive side of the ball. Offensively,

698
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 1: they're not very good right now. No. I mean, they

699
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:41,760
Speaker 1: had a chance and they started to kind of sneak

700
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 1: up right in the middle of the year, and then

701
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 1: they don't have an identity, fell off a cliff. They

702
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 1: don't have an identity. I mean, you think about the

703
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:49,359
Speaker 1: old the Washing Commanders, even going back to last year,

704
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 1: their rushing attack was but you minimal, Yeah, I mean

705
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:54,759
Speaker 1: what you feared from them last year really I was

706
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:56,880
Speaker 1: that was what you're You're worried about the rushing attack

707
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 1: and you're worried about Scary Terry. Those are the two

708
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 1: guys that you're worried about. Logan Thomas. You never know

709
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:02,759
Speaker 1: if he's gonna be on the field or not, just

710
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 1: do to health issues. But you don't fear anything about

711
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 1: this offense right now. That's just the reality now. That

712
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:12,839
Speaker 1: does not have anything to do with well, I'm gonna

713
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 1: say that that has no effect over your approach to

714
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 1: the game. The fact that they don't have any dudes

715
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 1: that are scaring you. Right now, you have to get

716
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 1: back on track. For Dallas's defense, this is a get

717
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:25,920
Speaker 1: back on track game. That's how I perceive it. Figure

718
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:27,239
Speaker 1: it out. I don't care if these guys are lighting

719
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 1: up the scoreboard, if they suck like they do right now,

720
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 1: you have to find a way to get back on track.

721
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 1: Right What I was just talking about, your identity of

722
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 1: this team is your is your pass rush? You teams

723
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:38,319
Speaker 1: fear that. I don't think teams are fearing it as

724
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:40,279
Speaker 1: much right now. Right there was a point in the

725
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:42,279
Speaker 1: season where when teams got the third down, if it

726
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 1: was third or seven or more, we were all sitting

727
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:47,800
Speaker 1: back like watch this, Yeah, right now, we're back like

728
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:51,239
Speaker 1: can they get home? You know, if maybe it's gonna

729
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 1: be the ball's gonna get out quick because they may

730
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:54,920
Speaker 1: have to tackle the first government tackle. You know, is

731
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:58,360
Speaker 1: that a byproduct though, of teams actually resolutely fearing the

732
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:01,720
Speaker 1: pass rush enough to where they're completely changing their identity.

733
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 1: Teams have absolutely done that get the ball out quickly.

734
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 1: So with that even being said, going into the playoffs,

735
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:12,400
Speaker 1: no matter if you have eight sacks or more against Washington,

736
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 1: our team's gonna actually fear this pass rush enough to where,

737
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, even if we change our own It

738
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:19,239
Speaker 1: depends on how you go about it. It depends on

739
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 1: how you go about it because there's different ways in

740
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:22,400
Speaker 1: which you get scat sacks. Right, So you got the

741
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:24,719
Speaker 1: scheme and that's one way to get sacks. And then

742
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 1: you just have peer talent, right, just peer talent, and

743
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:31,440
Speaker 1: I'll throw another category in their will. Right, you have

744
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 1: straight will, the will to win, right, the will to

745
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:35,880
Speaker 1: make the play. I'm gonna I don't care who you are,

746
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:37,359
Speaker 1: I don't care what you how many all pros you got,

747
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:39,319
Speaker 1: I'm about I'm about to throw you at the club. Right,

748
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:41,439
Speaker 1: nothing's gonna stop me from getting from from this point

749
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:43,279
Speaker 1: A to point B. Right, I'm throwing you just j

750
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:44,919
Speaker 1: mights was just get out the way, yeah, right, y'all

751
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:46,399
Speaker 1: MS would you go there in a screen route because

752
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:48,839
Speaker 1: I'm I'm coming right. And then you got the skill

753
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:51,360
Speaker 1: set for like a Micah and and and Fowler or

754
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:53,759
Speaker 1: stuff like that, which is like, crap, these guys are fast, right,

755
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:56,320
Speaker 1: and you're gonna spin moves and speed and dip and

756
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 1: rip and just tenacious. And then you got the scheme

757
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:02,359
Speaker 1: of dan Quinn, right, dunts, right, mismatches, you know, all

758
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 1: those alignments and all those type of things. So there's

759
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:05,759
Speaker 1: different ways in which you go about getting sacks, and

760
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 1: there's throwing the worst sacks and pressures. That's an umbrella.

761
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 1: But how you get there, that's where the finite the

762
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:14,879
Speaker 1: details are at it, and that's what teams are gonna

763
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:16,279
Speaker 1: look at and try to scheme up, because you can

764
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:19,280
Speaker 1: scheme up some of it. But even if I scheme

765
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:21,400
Speaker 1: up what dan Quinn is doing, okay, A's office accordator,

766
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 1: I did that, well, crap, Now I still got the

767
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:25,800
Speaker 1: women determination of these cats. Washington just doesn't have the horses.

768
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:29,400
Speaker 1: In fact, stop scary Terry and and that's a rapping

769
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 1: we've seen Tom and again Trayvon Diggs has been able

770
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:36,800
Speaker 1: to shut down Terry McLaurin um Robinson he's not completely healthy.

771
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 1: He's he's doing what he can to produce out there,

772
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 1: but he's not really healthy. So you have a Gibson man. Yeah,

773
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 1: I think he's been banged up. He was on my

774
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 1: fantasy team so didn't but they didn't even start the

775
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 1: year off with him. Like it's like it's almost like

776
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:51,719
Speaker 1: they had some kind of dispute. I think he's been

777
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 1: banged up. He's had like a lingering things like a

778
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 1: Zeke thing. Just there was a beast. They're rushing to

779
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:00,719
Speaker 1: that point, the rushing to think after him, I know

780
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like I feel like there's something internal

781
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:04,319
Speaker 1: that happened because they didn't even start the year one

782
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:07,320
Speaker 1: and give him the ball. Yeah, no telling, everything's internal

783
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:14,320
Speaker 1: with that organization, hopefully, but their rushing attacks hobbled quarterback

784
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:17,760
Speaker 1: play is nothing to speak, nothing worthy of speaking of whatsoever,

785
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 1: regardless of who's back there right now. And that in

786
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:25,359
Speaker 1: itself helps Negate scary Terry. But then Treyvon Diggs, even

787
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:27,920
Speaker 1: if you had a quality quarterback to get McClaren the ball,

788
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,840
Speaker 1: Trevon Diggs has shown he can clamp him. So I

789
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 1: don't see a situation where any situation any scenario in

790
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 1: which the Commanders get their offense going against the Cowboys,

791
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 1: I just think they get beat up early and the

792
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:45,279
Speaker 1: spirit that already is not there. I mean there will

793
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:47,880
Speaker 1: be some competitiveness because again there were players trying to

794
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:49,480
Speaker 1: keep their jobs and their coaches that are trying to

795
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 1: keep their jobs or at minimum put on film something

796
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 1: for another team to come and pick them up, so

797
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 1: that there will be a competitive nature there. It'll be scrappy,

798
00:39:58,200 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 1: but you can just go ahead and break their spe

799
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:03,839
Speaker 1: You get up fourteen oz and it'll get away from

800
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:06,799
Speaker 1: Commanders really quickly. They'll start laying now. Yeah, they'll roll

801
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:08,279
Speaker 1: over and show they barely at that point. It's a

802
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:09,840
Speaker 1: big chance for you to do that early in this

803
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:12,240
Speaker 1: football game. But when we come back here on Talking Cowboys,

804
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 1: will wrap up this episode and we're going to talk

805
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:17,719
Speaker 1: about the secondary. We talk about getting right. This might

806
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 1: be a chance for the secondary to beat test in

807
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:22,840
Speaker 1: getting right, but also still get right with the w

808
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:27,880
Speaker 1: Getting right. Is that a column column headline right there?

809
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:30,239
Speaker 1: It's pretty good. All right, We'll be back with more

810
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:34,920
Speaker 1: bars like that here on Talking Cowboys. Todd thought it

811
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:37,439
Speaker 1: would be secure to jog and the Cheetah Savannah Todd

812
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:40,360
Speaker 1: believed the big Cat repellent he bought online was reliable,

813
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:42,800
Speaker 1: and now Todd is trying to be faster than this

814
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 1: cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour. But the

815
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:47,480
Speaker 1: good news is Todd has a T and T five G.

816
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:50,279
Speaker 1: It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he learned the

817
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:52,719
Speaker 1: best thing to do is stop running and toss her

818
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:55,239
Speaker 1: the backpack with the beef stew at and T five

819
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:59,400
Speaker 1: G fast, reliable, secure. It's not complicated. Five G requires

00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:09,799
Speaker 1: no c Walker, Kyle Yeoman's Chris Beam in the back.

854
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:13,399
Speaker 1: All right, gentlemen, the secondary has been the biggest question mark,

855
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 1: and we're previewing the Cowboys defense versus the Washington offense.

856
00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:19,440
Speaker 1: It's been the biggest question mark since the injuries of

857
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 1: Anthony Brown and Jordan Lewis. You brought it up a

858
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:26,480
Speaker 1: little bit earlier. Nashaun Wright has come in and he's

859
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:29,879
Speaker 1: played above the expectations, but still a lot of room

860
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 1: to grow. Facts, still a lot of a long way

861
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 1: to go. And for those that there were some of

862
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:38,080
Speaker 1: my Twitter mentions when I said Nashan Right is trending upward,

863
00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:39,959
Speaker 1: they were like, oh, man, he's terrible, blah blah blah,

864
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:42,440
Speaker 1: you're not watching the film. In fact, you're you're not

865
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:45,719
Speaker 1: watching the film period. He's doing good things, which is

866
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:48,920
Speaker 1: something we couldn't say from the guy he replaced. Is

867
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 1: this a game where not only is it a get right,

868
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:54,279
Speaker 1: where it's a winnable batchup, however, but they're going up

869
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:58,200
Speaker 1: against some good receivers Curtis, Samuel, Terry McLaurin, Logan Thomas

870
00:43:58,280 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 1: out tight end. I mean there are guys that are

871
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:03,200
Speaker 1: good on this offense. Is this the right time for

872
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:06,719
Speaker 1: them to get a good challenge and to win that challenge? Absolutely.

873
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:11,800
Speaker 1: We talk about tuning yourself up for the playoffs and

874
00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:14,200
Speaker 1: for the secondary. This is your final chance to do that.

875
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:17,520
Speaker 1: And and to your point, yes, Nashan Right, who grabbed

876
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:21,360
Speaker 1: his first career interception against the Tennessee Tuttans, he's showing

877
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:23,440
Speaker 1: you what that length can do. It can be disruptive,

878
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:25,200
Speaker 1: it can get into the passing lanes. It can make

879
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:28,640
Speaker 1: quarterbacks think twice about maybe I can float this over

880
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:32,200
Speaker 1: his fingertips. I don't think that you can. So you

881
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:35,600
Speaker 1: love where the needles is pointing on a guy like

882
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:40,759
Speaker 1: Nshan Right, But he also needs more reps and that's

883
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:44,400
Speaker 1: why it's paramount that you see him get that against

884
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:46,800
Speaker 1: the team like Washington. And it's going to be a

885
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:49,600
Speaker 1: confident a chance, I should say, to build that much

886
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:52,080
Speaker 1: more confidence because you're going against the rookie and Howard,

887
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:55,439
Speaker 1: you're going against Taylor Heineke, whom the Cowboys basically own

888
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:58,120
Speaker 1: and even if even if it were Carson Wentz, you know,

889
00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:00,200
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz is going to give your opportunities to the

890
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:03,680
Speaker 1: ball away. So as a young secondary not named treyvon

891
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:06,279
Speaker 1: Diggs and not named it Ron Bland, because Bland has

892
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:08,640
Speaker 1: already shown you what he can do. He's he's a star, right,

893
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:12,560
Speaker 1: But for Nishan, right and something maybe at least one

894
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:15,040
Speaker 1: or two of the veterans that the Cowboys have, trayvon

895
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:17,319
Speaker 1: Mullin has been inactive both of the games that he's

896
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:19,120
Speaker 1: been with the Cowboys. We haven't seen him yet. Maybe

897
00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:21,640
Speaker 1: we see some treyvon Mullin in this game, so the

898
00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:24,719
Speaker 1: Cowboys know what they have from him before. Because and

899
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:26,560
Speaker 1: I'm with Isaiah, I see the eyes. You gotta know

900
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:28,480
Speaker 1: what you got there before you go into the playoffs.

901
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:30,120
Speaker 1: You gotta know what you got there. You've seen some

902
00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:33,279
Speaker 1: McKenzie Alexander, but you haven't seen Kendall Sheffield yet either.

903
00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:37,520
Speaker 1: So good opportunity for the Cowboys not only get additional

904
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:41,480
Speaker 1: reps for Nashan, right, but let's let's see Mullin and

905
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:43,960
Speaker 1: hopefully Sheffield, because you gotta know what you have before

906
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:46,400
Speaker 1: you go into the dance. I love Nashan. You know,

907
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:48,879
Speaker 1: I've been I've been a big fan of e Honda

908
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:52,239
Speaker 1: R since he got here exactly, and I want to

909
00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:55,040
Speaker 1: see him more impressed. Yeah, I can't say this enough.

910
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:57,400
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on in terms of defensive strategy,

911
00:45:57,680 --> 00:45:59,239
Speaker 1: but I know Al Harris is one hell of a

912
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:02,560
Speaker 1: press corner back in the day, and Dan Quinn used

913
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:04,960
Speaker 1: to be a press you know, press man coverage guy,

914
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:07,279
Speaker 1: and he's got two years in the system now. Yeah,

915
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:09,480
Speaker 1: so I'm hoping that they allow Ehana to get up

916
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:11,920
Speaker 1: there and put some fisticuffs on some people. But he

917
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:14,360
Speaker 1: is coming along. And if it's your point, Kyle, if

918
00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:16,520
Speaker 1: people are saying that he's coming along too slow, well

919
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:19,320
Speaker 1: he hasn't had a ton of reps, and then the

920
00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:21,640
Speaker 1: reps he has had, he's doing pretty dug going well

921
00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 1: with them. So he was in there, He was able

922
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 1: to be in there consistently last week and he made

923
00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:28,440
Speaker 1: some place. So I'm looking forward to seeing him continue

924
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:30,719
Speaker 1: to develop and build his confidence because I don't care

925
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:35,719
Speaker 1: what people think about draft status and how high they're

926
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 1: drafted and where are they what they should be doing

927
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:39,879
Speaker 1: by this point in time. This is a confidence game

928
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:42,479
Speaker 1: all these guys are capable of playing at a really

929
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:44,879
Speaker 1: high level. If you if you're in the NFL, you're

930
00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:46,799
Speaker 1: one of the best in the world. Regardless of how

931
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:48,879
Speaker 1: bad or how good you may be looking, you're still

932
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:50,759
Speaker 1: one of the best in the world. Yeah, it's all

933
00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:52,840
Speaker 1: on confidence. So if you're out there and you have

934
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:54,680
Speaker 1: your swag back and you got you know, you got

935
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:57,279
Speaker 1: closed right socks, right shoe game right? You know what

936
00:46:57,280 --> 00:46:59,160
Speaker 1: I'm saying, got your visor on whatever it is that

937
00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:01,480
Speaker 1: you do, feel good and you actually go out there

938
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 1: and play good. Well, now you just need to double

939
00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:05,800
Speaker 1: down on that. Give another game, give me, give me

940
00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:07,799
Speaker 1: the same amount of reps. Let me get my feet wet,

941
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 1: let me get used to this game. Which is why

942
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:13,359
Speaker 1: players hate getting cycled in and out because I can't

943
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:15,719
Speaker 1: get a feel for the game, right I can't get

944
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:18,200
Speaker 1: my swag because shoot, as soon as I start feeling good,

945
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:20,439
Speaker 1: I'm coming out of the game right now, I gotta

946
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:22,040
Speaker 1: get back in there and try to get warmed up again.

947
00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:24,960
Speaker 1: So let guys get in there and get used to

948
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:28,440
Speaker 1: the floor of the game and start remembering the types

949
00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:30,840
Speaker 1: of players that they were, because that's what it is.

950
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:33,120
Speaker 1: When I'm in the league, and I'm into my second

951
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:34,960
Speaker 1: year and I haven't had the opportunity to make a

952
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:37,000
Speaker 1: lot of plays. I was a dude in college, but

953
00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:39,360
Speaker 1: now in the NFL. You know, everything that's been the

954
00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:41,399
Speaker 1: position I've been in, the reps that I've been given

955
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:43,320
Speaker 1: has shown me that, oh, you're not a dude anymore.

956
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:44,920
Speaker 1: Then all of a sudden, I get an opportunity to

957
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:48,560
Speaker 1: start getting these reps again. Oh crap, maybe I still yeah, yeah,

958
00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:50,400
Speaker 1: this is what I do. Right, So you start to

959
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:53,080
Speaker 1: start remembering who you were as a player, and as

960
00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:54,400
Speaker 1: soon as you make a play like that, you get

961
00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:57,640
Speaker 1: an interception. Oh yeah, oh yeah, I'm back. Yeah, I'm back. Now.

962
00:47:57,719 --> 00:47:59,840
Speaker 1: Just keep me in there, keep me in there. Confidence building,

963
00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:02,320
Speaker 1: this booster. That's what this game has to be. A

964
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:06,600
Speaker 1: momentum boost of momentum booster as well as a confidence booster,

965
00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:10,680
Speaker 1: while also potentially giving you an opportunity to move up

966
00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:13,080
Speaker 1: from the five seed. And in worst case, even if

967
00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:15,719
Speaker 1: even if you win this game, and like you said,

968
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:17,799
Speaker 1: the Eagles win and it all you know is could

969
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:20,719
Speaker 1: put in the Eagles clinched consideratesiderate for me. And I've

970
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:22,080
Speaker 1: said this and I would say it one more time.

971
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:23,759
Speaker 1: I said a thousand times. I'll say it one more time.

972
00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:26,480
Speaker 1: The fact that you forced the Eagles to do something

973
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:28,920
Speaker 1: they did not want to do with their starting quarterback

974
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:33,880
Speaker 1: might and that might negatively impact their chances in the playoffs. Checkmate,

975
00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:36,920
Speaker 1: and so win. And in that regarding going back to

976
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:39,360
Speaker 1: what you said about Nashan, for those that listen to

977
00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:42,960
Speaker 1: the draft show, they know I wasn't very high on Nashan, right,

978
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:45,799
Speaker 1: I never really was. I love him as a person.

979
00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:48,680
Speaker 1: He's a delight to talk to. He's a great dude.

980
00:48:48,719 --> 00:48:50,800
Speaker 1: The work ethic is off the charts. I love what

981
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:52,600
Speaker 1: he does behind the scenes, and I see why they

982
00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:55,920
Speaker 1: drafted him because of that. He's also got the physical

983
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:58,760
Speaker 1: tools now it's starting to put that together with that confidence.

984
00:48:58,840 --> 00:49:02,720
Speaker 1: I agree with you leheartedly in that regard. I hope

985
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:05,399
Speaker 1: he continues to trend in the right direction. That'd be huge.

986
00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:07,840
Speaker 1: That'd be massive for this football team heading into the

987
00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:10,800
Speaker 1: playoffs and moving forward really quickly. Another guy that I

988
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:14,960
Speaker 1: loved interacting with for some time. We haven't confirmed it,

989
00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:18,440
Speaker 1: but reports are out there that the Cowboys have waived

990
00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:22,440
Speaker 1: wide receiver James Washington. So the reports have hit this morning,

991
00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:25,000
Speaker 1: of course, with the signing of t Y Hilton and

992
00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:27,279
Speaker 1: what he brought to the table. Wait to confirm, got

993
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:29,320
Speaker 1: to confirm it. But that's the report for me, and

994
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:33,360
Speaker 1: rapid reports are out there there. Yeah, So James Washington,

995
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:35,840
Speaker 1: he will be subject to waivers so he can be

996
00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:38,040
Speaker 1: claimed by any of the other teams and we'll see

997
00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:40,120
Speaker 1: all that happens. But the addition of Ty Hilton and

998
00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:44,920
Speaker 1: the immediate impact of t Y Hilton pushed James Washington

999
00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:48,160
Speaker 1: to the inactives list and now off of the rosters.

1000
00:49:48,520 --> 00:49:50,520
Speaker 1: I hate I hate that for James. Yeah, he's such

1001
00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:52,680
Speaker 1: a good dude. Yeah, really good dude, and he came

1002
00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:55,520
Speaker 1: in with a lot of a lot of optimism, but

1003
00:49:55,920 --> 00:49:58,799
Speaker 1: injury and training camp and at the start of training camp,

1004
00:49:58,880 --> 00:50:01,960
Speaker 1: no list pretty much deleted his chances with the Cowboy. Yeah,

1005
00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:04,279
Speaker 1: that derailed the whole thing. But best of luck to

1006
00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:07,640
Speaker 1: James Washington. Whether he ends up being taken on waivers

1007
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:11,239
Speaker 1: or maybe he's back here kudos squad. If he cleared,

1008
00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:14,920
Speaker 1: could happen in recent we'll see hopefully he wherever he

1009
00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:18,240
Speaker 1: ends up. Best of luck and best wishes to James Washington.

1010
00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:21,680
Speaker 1: Continued prayers by the way for tomorrow, Hamlin, Yes, continuing

Speaker 1: after that play on Monday Night Football. I want to

1013

Speaker 1: continue to send our thoughts and prayers that direction into

1014
00:50:30,120 --> 00:50:32,840
