Speaker 6: this weekend between the pros and the college guys. It's
Speaker 6: gonna be a good weekend, hopefully a good weekend by
Speaker 6: the time we come back in here on Tuesday. But
Speaker 6: today we're gonna get you guys ready for Cowboys versus Lions.
Speaker 6: We'll do some some questions around that game, get you
Speaker 6: guys prepared.
Speaker 2: There hopefully at some point in the game.
Speaker 6: In the show, we will also have a time talk
Speaker 6: a little bit about the NFC and what's going on
Speaker 6: there and where the Cowboys sit and what they need
Speaker 6: to happen for their chances as far as certain seeds
Speaker 6: in the playoffs. Amber's got a game for us and
Speaker 6: Segment two, so we got a lot going on today.
Speaker 6: Let's jump right in. Brian, give me some updates here
Speaker 6: on injuries for Tyron Smith, Chuma Edoga, and Rico Duvel.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Rico Dabble is not gonna play.
Speaker 7: I was told yesterday that Yron Smith will play and
Speaker 7: then Adoga will Then he's dealing with the toe injury
Speaker 7: that he will be the backup. So good news on
Speaker 7: the left tackle spot for the Cowboys. We'll see what
Speaker 7: happens with the running back situation. Uh, there's a chance.
Speaker 7: Listening to Mike McCarthy talked with Sean and Argie one
Speaker 7: five three of the Fan this morning. He was talking
Speaker 7: about the possible elevation of Deuce Vaughn.
Speaker 5: And some potential packages and stuff like that.
Speaker 7: This will be an interesting game in the way that
Speaker 7: they use Deuce Vaughn. And I say it with what
Speaker 7: I know about Detroit's blitzing linebackers, you know, you mean
Speaker 7: you have to be very mindful. Yes you have packages,
Speaker 7: Yes you have ways to get him involved, but is
Speaker 7: it one of those things where that you sometimes you
Speaker 7: have to play him in certain spots. And with the
Speaker 7: way that the Lions like to blitz their linebackers and
Speaker 7: the way that they blitz their safeties, blitz pick up
Speaker 7: is going to be a huge part of this football game.
Speaker 7: And and last week what we saw in the Dolphins
Speaker 7: game was some indecision. Maybe it was a road environment,
Speaker 7: you know, Nate Newton, Dave Campo on on the broadcast
Speaker 7: the other night, you know, the cross talk show, talking
Speaker 7: about communication communication home being better. So yeah, I just
Speaker 7: I'm curious of how much do we really see Douce
Speaker 7: Fawn in this game? And you know, there's some there's
Speaker 7: also some reasons that he you know, because of his
Speaker 7: lack of height, he doesn't play in a lot of
Speaker 7: special teams. And that's something that you know, I mean,
Speaker 7: how many plays when you carry him to this game?
Speaker 7: As Bill Parcells would say, how many plays you're gonna
Speaker 7: get out of him. Is this going to be five plays,
Speaker 7: six plays, eight plays? You know, that's that's that's that's
Speaker 7: going to be the trick because he has taken a
Speaker 7: he has taken a spot out of some necessity because
Speaker 7: you don't have recal Dabtle in the lineup.
Speaker 6: You know what I would wonder, and that's under that
Speaker 6: situation is is this a game where because those linebackers
Speaker 6: blitz quite a bit, that maybe you feel like, because
Speaker 6: of Dus's size, you can kind of leak him out
Speaker 6: a little bit. And if he leaks out and now
Speaker 6: you got him in open field and you can just
Speaker 6: throw the ball out to him quickly and get him
Speaker 6: out in space, maybe that's how you can take advantage
Speaker 6: of that those linebackers the linebacker blitzes and actually slow
Speaker 6: that down a bit to where they're like, hey, maybe
Speaker 6: we shouldn't do that because we've got to count for
Speaker 6: the fact that this guy can leak out on.
Speaker 7: The one encouraging thing that we've seen from the Cowboys,
Speaker 7: and it has shown up at times, is their ability
Speaker 7: to run a screen game, you know, and that's going
Speaker 7: to be you know, how do you how do you
Speaker 7: get the screen game incorporated and is he part of
Speaker 7: the screen game. Yeah, you know we can we can
Speaker 7: see bunch formations. When we talk about bunch, is you
Speaker 7: know three four guys lined up to the outside and
Speaker 7: then throw them the ball quick on the screen before
Speaker 7: you catch the blitz and then hope, you know, you
Speaker 7: get the block. We saw a double screen last week
Speaker 7: where Dak you know he threw to the three blocker side.
Speaker 7: It's the four blocker side. Probably something he'll look at
Speaker 7: and go, I'm not going to make that mistake ever again.
Speaker 7: I'm to make sure you gets to the four blocker side.
Speaker 7: But yeah, that's the swings, the releases, Uh yeah, those
Speaker 7: are all part of what you can absolutely do with
Speaker 7: us fun in a football game.
Speaker 8: This is a tough game to have him out there.
Speaker 8: I mean, he's a he's a he's a weapon. We've
Speaker 8: seen him, yeah, very very good back. But obviously SIS
Speaker 8: has been a thing, but it hasn't affected him because
Speaker 8: he still is super fast and a very skilled player.
Speaker 8: But what scares me is we haven't seen him in
Speaker 8: a while and just throwing him out there in a
Speaker 8: game against the Lions where they have so many aggressive players,
Speaker 8: it just I am excited to see him, but at
Speaker 8: the same time, I'm kind of like, oh, is it
Speaker 8: Is it gonna be a good thing? Is he gonna
Speaker 8: be able to shine? Or are you just putting him
Speaker 8: in a bad position where you're just kind of throwing
Speaker 8: him out there since he hasn't been used in a
Speaker 8: long time.
Speaker 7: I remember having conversations with Jesse Holly about this and
Speaker 7: when you the one thing about Deuce that you'll notice
Speaker 7: he will look fresher than everybody else playing that that's
Speaker 7: the one.
Speaker 5: You know, his his legs and.
Speaker 7: The lack of hits and all that, you will when
Speaker 7: you hand him the ball, you will be able to
Speaker 7: tell that he hasn't had to endure in an NFL
Speaker 7: season like some of these other.
Speaker 5: Backs have had to.
Speaker 7: So I think that's the positive that sometimes you're you
Speaker 7: put somebody into the lineup and they they shine because
Speaker 7: they haven't they haven't played, but their body hasn't taken the.
Speaker 5: Wear and tear and the hits. Now.
Speaker 7: But you do worry about is though the hits, you know,
Speaker 7: and Deuce Fawn is not a fumbler, you know. You
Speaker 7: just don't want it to be like they started using
Speaker 7: Hunter Lipkey and Hunter Lipkey. The week before we saw
Speaker 7: was a much blocking and you're kind of and we
Speaker 7: saw Hunter Lipkey carry the ball and it was like, man,
Speaker 7: this is good. It's third and one, fourth and one.
Speaker 7: Hunter Lipkey's getting two three yards a run and then
Speaker 7: you hand it to him and then you have the fumble.
Speaker 7: Whether that was his not clamping down or Dak, you know,
Speaker 7: I mean I think that Hunter probably thought that maybe
Speaker 7: Dak was gonna pull it.
Speaker 5: I I don't know.
Speaker 7: I mean just depending on you know who you ask,
Speaker 7: but yeah, you just don't want something some guy that
Speaker 7: has not played in a long time, and then all
Speaker 7: of a sudden that first hit, second hit, and now
Speaker 7: the balls knock loose, and now that he goes from
Speaker 7: being a positive like we saw with Hunter Lipkey to
Speaker 7: a don't get him out of the lineup. I don't
Speaker 7: want to see Hunter Lipkey in the lineup anymore. But
Speaker 7: you know what, they're gonna need him in this game
Speaker 7: if in fact, I mean, he's probably gonna be the
Speaker 7: primary of the second back if you really really look
Speaker 7: at it.
Speaker 6: I was wondering, is Malik Davis is gonna end up
Speaker 6: begging in that kind of role and Lepki still kind
Speaker 6: of handles his responsibilities as that kind of that. I
Speaker 6: don't know if they'renna use him in short yard is yes,
Speaker 6: they did last week, but I don't know Malik Davis
Speaker 6: becomes an option though.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's and I trying to remember if Malik Davis
Speaker 7: has any more elevations left to his game, and I
Speaker 7: think they've they've used him. And the one thing about
Speaker 7: it is this is a team and I was kind
Speaker 7: of wondering too, is this the type of game and
Speaker 7: it's important for both teams? I mean, this game is
Speaker 7: really important for both team. And I wonder if you're
Speaker 7: in a situation where you would actually remove somebody on
Speaker 7: the roster to make sure that you had Elik Davis
Speaker 7: on the you know, on the roster. You know, but
Speaker 7: they obviously, you know, have confidence in uh In uh
Speaker 7: In Hunter Lipke and they have confidence induced fawn that
Speaker 7: they can get done. I mean, it'd be to have
Speaker 7: all those guys active though too. It would be four
Speaker 7: backs that you would really you have active, right if
Speaker 7: you so, I don't know if the Special Team's numbers
Speaker 7: or the numbers the count that they need for the
Speaker 7: offense and defense, well might be allowed them to do.
Speaker 4: That, maybe they don't need to use hindershot as much.
Speaker 5: Well, that's you know that that's something you know.
Speaker 2: You you you can, that's a luxury.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you can.
Speaker 7: Honestly, you can honestly think about you know, it's unfortunate
Speaker 7: because hinder shot the other day. You know, a tough
Speaker 7: chance ball gets Stone to him in the middle. Dack's
Speaker 7: trying to feed it to him. You catch it, he's
Speaker 7: on the one yard line. Now you're in a situation
Speaker 7: where you're kind of thinking about maybe we need you know,
Speaker 7: you can maybe get this go for this.
Speaker 5: But yeah, his his.
Speaker 7: His star or stock has diminished, I think in a
Speaker 7: lot of eyes.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's been a tough year for him.
Speaker 6: All right, let's let's let's jump into the matchup. Tell me,
Speaker 6: as far as the offense of the Detroit Lions, who
Speaker 6: do you think is a player that should be most
Speaker 6: concerning for Dallas?
Speaker 5: Got any in mind? There? Ag the running back duo.
Speaker 8: I mean that's an easy one really to say.
Speaker 5: They're so.
Speaker 8: Fast and talented and skill and this is no breaking
Speaker 8: news or anything.
Speaker 5: We all know this.
Speaker 8: Uh, the Cowboys defense has struggle in stopping the run,
Speaker 8: and I think anytime you have a running back that
Speaker 8: can really really run and escape and is so quick
Speaker 8: in his breaks and so skill that can bring problems
Speaker 8: for this defense. So I think that's an easy one
Speaker 8: for me to say to Pig running back for sure.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'll go different from ag there because she's absolutely
Speaker 7: right about the running back situation. I'm on Rod Saint
Speaker 7: Brown is a guy that when you look at him
Speaker 7: at wide receiver and what he's been able to do,
Speaker 7: you know, targets to receptions or just like he doesn't
Speaker 7: drop the ball, he doesn't miss the ball, he doesn't
Speaker 7: you know, he's He's one of those guys you could
Speaker 7: tell by watching tape. The game is super fun for him,
Speaker 7: and he's competitive and he wants to play well and
Speaker 7: it's important, and he's a really good route runner. He's
Speaker 7: very detailed in the way he plays. There's no sloppiness
Speaker 7: to his game. Sometimes you'll playgetinst a wide receiver that
Speaker 7: is a little sloppy in his routes, sloppy with his technique,
Speaker 7: sloppy with his hands.
Speaker 5: Not this kid.
Speaker 7: He is just a the in the you know, and
Speaker 7: you look at golf Off, he that's his guy.
Speaker 5: I mean he throws the.
Speaker 7: Ball to Saint Brown and you know that's he's likely
Speaker 7: going to come up with it. You could throw the
Speaker 7: tight end in there as well as a guy that
Speaker 7: you would you know you worried.
Speaker 5: You will see how how they play him.
Speaker 7: The Cowboys safety's hooker has been playing better, Wilson. We've
Speaker 7: talked about near the line is better than playing back.
Speaker 7: So yeah, they've got a couple of things that they're
Speaker 7: gonna have to deal with in this game.
Speaker 5: Especially.
Speaker 6: I'll throw out Sam Laporta just because, in my opinion,
Speaker 6: this is the best tight end I think the Cowboys
Speaker 6: will have seen since they saw Kittle, and we saw
Speaker 6: what Kittle did to them, and I just I worry
Speaker 6: about that tight end. As skilled a tight end as
Speaker 6: Sam Laporte is, that could be a problem for Dallas.
Speaker 6: We'll see how ends up this weekend. Let's talk about
Speaker 6: the defensive side of the ball. Who's the defensive player
Speaker 6: that you think the Cowboys should be most concerned with.
Speaker 5: I'll tell you what I.
Speaker 7: Aiden Hutchinson would be really easy to say, and I'll
Speaker 7: let you say Aiden Hutchinson like I think I think
Speaker 7: Alex Angeloni the linebacker, and I say this at a
Speaker 7: respect just because last week blitzing linebackers weren't being picked
Speaker 7: up and that affected the game. You know, there were
Speaker 7: several times where a blitzing linebacker was not blocked and
Speaker 7: all of a sudden, you're blocking scheme with the hell
Speaker 7: the quarterback was struggling to get the ball out and
Speaker 7: you had negative plays. And so you know, you're talking
Speaker 7: about the linebacker in the league that has twenty six pressures,
Speaker 7: which is tied for the most of any off ball
Speaker 7: linebacker in the league. So if I'm Aaron Glenn, the
Speaker 7: defensive coordinator Detroit, I'm thinking, well, I'm gonna I'm gonna
Speaker 7: find out if Dallas could pick up blitzes today. I'm
Speaker 7: gonna find out. They might hit me on a player
Speaker 7: or two, but I'm going to find out if they
Speaker 7: could pick up a blitz. But these linebackers I think
Speaker 7: are pretty Both of them are pretty good. You know,
Speaker 7: Jack Campbell, the big, you know, downhill player, for them,
Speaker 7: I think is of effect. You got to get a
Speaker 7: hat on him. But that, you know, Angeloni with the
Speaker 7: with the the ability to rush the passers, got me
Speaker 7: a little bit nervous right now.
Speaker 8: Yeah, Well, obviously I am gonna make hutchingson Hutchinson, he
Speaker 8: I mean, you talk about a big guy that can move,
Speaker 8: the speed that he has, the ability that he has
Speaker 8: to play different places and get to the quarterback. We
Speaker 8: saw the struggles that the Oline had last week, and
Speaker 8: I don't think that's any different than this week. They're
Speaker 8: still dealing with the same issues as last week. He's
Speaker 8: a guy that can get to the quarterback and not
Speaker 8: only that, but create turnovers as well get his hands
Speaker 8: on the ball. So that is something that I'm pretty concerned.
Speaker 8: I would say looking at how Dallas played last week,
Speaker 8: how many times they got to Dak. Luckily they didn't
Speaker 8: really turn the ball over other than the time with
Speaker 8: Hunter Lipkey, but it does worry me that Dak is
Speaker 8: constantly under pressure or in him getting to him and
Speaker 8: possibly recovering the ball. That's an area of concern for
Speaker 8: me this week because that guy, he's hard to stop.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think I would go with Hutchinson as well,
Speaker 6: mainly because of the matchup. I think this game is
Speaker 6: going to ride in a lot of ways on that
Speaker 6: matchup between Hutchinson is Steel. Whoever wins that matchup has
Speaker 6: a great chance to win this game. Because ultimately, I
Speaker 6: don't think I'm not really afraid of the Detroit defense,
Speaker 6: and quite frankly, I don't think Detroit will necessarily They're
Speaker 6: not necessarily coming to this game afraid of Dallas's defense.
Speaker 6: I think they feel like there's some things they can
Speaker 6: take advantage of, and so I think this is going
Speaker 6: to be just a high scoring game. What you can't
Speaker 6: afford to do is let Hutchinson dominate Steel on that side,
Speaker 6: and then what ends up happening is your passing game
Speaker 6: isn't what it needs to be in order to keep
Speaker 6: up and keep scoring, because you're gonna have to keep
Speaker 6: scoring out thinking this game.
Speaker 7: I'll throw another guy out there, nickel Brian Branch, who
Speaker 7: could play in the slot, and and they're I think
Speaker 7: they're They're a little bit compromised on the outside with
Speaker 7: with Cameron Sudden, he's been nicked up a little bit.
Speaker 7: I think they can make some plays on the outside.
Speaker 7: The safety group is good, but Branch is a nickel
Speaker 7: coming out of Alabama, he was a safety.
Speaker 5: He can play, he can cover, He's shown he can cover.
Speaker 7: I don't know how much I would put Ceedee Lamb
Speaker 7: in the slot this week.
Speaker 5: I just don't.
Speaker 7: And I know Lamb makes a lot of his player.
Speaker 7: You know, he's had a large number of his plays
Speaker 7: have been on the outside. His slot play stuff is
Speaker 7: super impressive. As impressive as we all know, Branch is
Speaker 7: really good at covering and he can all these guys
Speaker 7: are kind of ballhawking players, and so Dak needs to
Speaker 7: be aware of that. But if i'm if I'm Mike
Speaker 7: McCarthy and the staff, I'm trying to keep Ceedee Lamb
Speaker 7: away from Brian Branch number thirty two as much as
Speaker 7: I can in this football game.
Speaker 2: All Right, we're gonna take our first break.
Speaker 6: We will come back, we will get into a little
Speaker 6: bit of game actioneer from Amber. We'll do that in

Speaker 5: There's big blockchain A little love here.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah yeah, this segment presented by Blockchain dot Com.
Speaker 5: Way I get paid next week.
Speaker 2: Let's go mling man here.
Speaker 8: Brian will not let that.
Speaker 2: I got a sponsor.
Speaker 5: I know how important sponsors are.
Speaker 8: All right, We're gonna do a little game of would
Speaker 8: you rather? And these are questions sent by fans, all right.
Speaker 8: The first one is from Kelley school Craft. He's asking
Speaker 8: movie forward would you rather the Cowboys average one hundred
Speaker 8: and fifty rushing yard as a unit per game or
Speaker 8: hold opponents to under one hundred rushing yards per game?
Speaker 8: He says, I currently Dallas has averaged the same amount
Speaker 8: of rushing rushing yards per game as they've given up
Speaker 8: two opponents one hundred and fifteen according to ESPN.
Speaker 4: Easy for me, stop the run?
Speaker 6: The worst thing you can do in any game is
Speaker 6: get into a situation like what happened in Buffalo where
Speaker 6: the other teams like, we're running it and you can't
Speaker 6: stop us. You are, It demoralizes you stop the run
Speaker 6: first and foremost.
Speaker 5: He's absolutely right.
Speaker 7: There's nothing worse than standing there and it gets colder
Speaker 7: and weather right, and the clock is like melting and
Speaker 7: it's really not moving, you know, yeah, like let this
Speaker 7: game be over here, Like you're just praying that he
Speaker 7: used to experience in high school football, and a sudden
Speaker 7: the running clock and I was like, please just let
Speaker 7: the clock run. But you just stand there and you're
Speaker 7: getting colder and wetter, and they're running the ball and
Speaker 7: you can't stop them. That's the that's the most immoralizing
Speaker 7: there is in football.
Speaker 8: The worst, I agree with you guys too, is the worst.
Speaker 7: It's so fun when you're we had a game one
Speaker 7: time a Green Bay. We threw the ball for two
Speaker 7: fifty and ran it for two fifty against the Bears,
Speaker 7: and it was so much fun to be a part
Speaker 7: of a game like that. But still when you when
Speaker 7: you're getting the two fifty put up on you, there
Speaker 7: was time you remember this Derek, there were three years
Speaker 7: or three games in a row or a year where
Speaker 7: we give a two hundred yard rusher.
Speaker 2: Yes, that was that was miserable.
Speaker 7: Yeah, three games in a row, Charlie Garner and I
Speaker 7: mean it was crazy.
Speaker 6: But wasn't Baltimore part of that? I think they had
Speaker 6: Christ Holmes and somebody else.
Speaker 2: I want to say it was bad.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it was three straight games of over two hundred
Speaker 7: yard a single two hundred yard rusher in a game,
Speaker 7: and that that I just want at that point in time,
Speaker 7: I just wanted to leave.
Speaker 5: I really wanted to leave.
Speaker 8: All right, Brian, what word he's asking? Would you rather
Speaker 8: the Cowboys go on the road as a five seed
Speaker 8: against a lesser opponent or be the second seed and
Speaker 8: play a hot team like the Rams at home?
Speaker 7: Give me the second seed, give me the opportunity to play,
Speaker 7: you know, I'll take the Rams are playing great football
Speaker 7: right now, they really are, and they're gonna be there there.
Speaker 7: If you get the fifth seed, that's my secret weapon
Speaker 7: to try and knock some of the top seeds out
Speaker 7: and maybe but give me the opportunity to have an
Speaker 7: initial home game, which means I'd win the division and
Speaker 7: then give me the opportunity to maybe host some more
Speaker 7: games after that, depending on how things shake out. So
Speaker 7: I'll take the I'll take the home game and the
Speaker 7: chance against the Rams.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you.
Speaker 6: I look at the way this team is playing this year.
Speaker 6: They're they're a different team at home and on the road.
Speaker 6: And again, I don't really know. This weekend's gonna tell
Speaker 6: me a lot about whether that's about opponents or not.
Speaker 6: But the fact is, I still would ride with home.
Speaker 6: So give me the home game. I'll take the Rams.
Speaker 6: We've already played the Rams like, it's fine. I'll take
Speaker 6: the Rams, but give me that home game.
Speaker 7: The thing, the thing about the playing on the road,
Speaker 7: I don't know if there's a camp is playing pretty
Speaker 7: well right now. Yeah, Tampa is probably by the time
Speaker 7: you get to them might on a six game winning streak.
Speaker 7: So you know, there's no guarantee of going to Tampa,
Speaker 7: especially with Baker Mayfield, and they're they're kind of running
Speaker 7: the ball a little bit now and they're just good
Speaker 7: enough on defense, So it's kind of damned if you do.
Speaker 8: If you do, we know at some point they're gonna
Speaker 8: have to go on the road obsolutely. But yes, I'd
Speaker 8: rather take the home play at home first and then
Speaker 8: start moving up rounds.
Speaker 6: And the quack fact of the matter is, if you're
Speaker 6: the two seed, you're gonna get two home games, so
Speaker 6: you wouldn't have to go on the road until presumably
Speaker 6: you would have to match up with San Francisco on
Speaker 6: a championship game if you kept winning. So I look
Speaker 6: at that and I'm like for the for the possibility
Speaker 6: of being at home for as long as I can, Like,
Speaker 6: I'm taking well.
Speaker 7: If you look at it right now, the way it's
Speaker 7: stacked up, if you get to the two seed, you're
Speaker 7: gonna play the Seahawks. Seahawks are the seventh hole right now.
Speaker 7: Rams are in the six. That means they would have
Speaker 7: to go to Detroit at three. I guess Detroit would
Speaker 7: be the third probably team there. So you catch the
Speaker 7: sea Hawks again, that wouldn't maybe not be bad. I
Speaker 7: mean that was a tough game, though, Guy, that was
Speaker 7: a tough.
Speaker 2: Seattle and La.
Speaker 6: You've already beat both those teams. Now you beat both
Speaker 6: of them at home.
Speaker 8: Settle more than the ram not me.
Speaker 6: The Rams I think have gotten hotter as the season
Speaker 6: going on, and I think the Seahawks have kind of
Speaker 6: settled a little bit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, actually I'm more afraid of the.
Speaker 8: Rams steel Something about the Seahawks. I just feel, yeah,
Speaker 8: I don't know, I just see more aggressive mess.
Speaker 7: There's something, there's something Matthew Stafford is playing like at
Speaker 7: an MVP level.
Speaker 5: They went I say this a lot.
Speaker 7: They went to Baltimore on a like a noon kickoff
Speaker 7: across the country and we're a kickoff a punt return
Speaker 7: away from taking a victory and we're all or Baltimore
Speaker 7: is like, oh, anybody be Baltimore. Well you know, no, no,
Speaker 7: the Rams almost did you know? The Rams are playing
Speaker 7: really really well.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and don't forget you want to talk about running
Speaker 6: the ball. They have come to life. The Rams have
Speaker 6: come to life with Karen Williams running the ball. He
Speaker 6: is a he is a beast right now, I don't
Speaker 6: really want to see that running game right now until
Speaker 6: Dallas figures that part. Because by the way, that running
Speaker 6: game you also got to think about they got two
Speaker 6: receivers on the outside.
Speaker 2: They can get you too.
Speaker 6: I just think got offense has gotten a lot better
Speaker 6: than when when the Dallas then when the pay they've
Speaker 6: gotten a lot better.
Speaker 8: But something about it It's just one of those there's
Speaker 8: no reason for it, but just like a vibe about
Speaker 8: it that I'm just like, I don't know, I.
Speaker 7: Feel like Seattle falls apart at the end of games.
Speaker 7: I know they beat the Eagles, you know, came back
Speaker 7: from that. They're usually a fallow up the real quick.
Speaker 7: I want to show you that.
Speaker 2: I just pulled this up quickly. Karen Williams checked us.
Speaker 6: Out of the last six games he didn't play against
Speaker 6: the Cowboys. No, but last six games one hundred and
Speaker 6: four yards rushing, one hundred and fifty two yards rushing,
Speaker 6: one hundred and fourteen yards.
Speaker 2: Rushing, and eighty eight was his low one.
Speaker 6: Hundred and forty three yards rushing, one hundred and fifty
Speaker 6: eight yards rushing.
Speaker 2: Like this guy's putting every days.
Speaker 6: Like I'm just saying, like you, if you're worried about
Speaker 6: run game and stopping the run, you probably don't want
Speaker 6: to play the.
Speaker 5: Rams right now?
Speaker 8: Yeah, all right, Anthony C. Would you rather see Dallas
Speaker 8: win four straight Super Bowls but lose a year of
Speaker 8: your life or gain ten years of your life but
Speaker 8: never see them win a Super Bowl?
Speaker 2: Getting really easy. I love the Cowboys.
Speaker 13: I love living though.
Speaker 6: But uh no, I got I got.
Speaker 5: Things I want to do. No, you'll have ten more years?
Speaker 5: Do I get to choose the year? In years? Do
Speaker 5: I get to choose the year?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 5: No, it just could happen.
Speaker 7: Right, I'm gonna get four super Bowls and I can't
Speaker 7: choose the year.
Speaker 5: At the very end, I can't say, Okay, here's my
Speaker 5: super Bowl.
Speaker 8: Was one year of your life and enjoy four super
Speaker 8: Bowls or no super Bowls and you gain ten years.
Speaker 2: I love sports, but you've been to a super Bowl?
Speaker 5: I have, so you know, yeah I have. And you
Speaker 5: know it's funny.
Speaker 7: I thought, yeah, we went back the next year, but
Speaker 7: I went to Philadelphia. You just never know when you're
Speaker 7: gonna get to go back again. But it's only one year, right.
Speaker 6: No, man, I'm sorry, I wont my year. You can
Speaker 6: say I get ten more. I'm definitely taking the ten
Speaker 6: more years.
Speaker 2: Right, that's pretty old. I don't care.
Speaker 5: I want.
Speaker 2: I want as many as I could possibly be.
Speaker 8: No, I totally agree. I can care less about our
Speaker 8: super Bowl if I get to live more.
Speaker 6: I mean that could be the difference between seeing a
Speaker 6: grand kid or seeing a grand kid go to Cot.
Speaker 6: Like there's all these Markes No, I'm yes right, I'm
Speaker 6: taking my ten years, me ten years.
Speaker 8: All right? Would you rather Dak win MVP or someone
Speaker 8: on defense win Defensive Player of the Year? And then
Speaker 8: he says that he understands both are long shots, but
Speaker 8: it's fun to think about. So for Defensive Player of
Speaker 8: the Year, he said, Mica or Bland or Dyk MVP.
Speaker 6: It's about Dak for me because Dak has taken so
Speaker 6: much heat for so many years, and I think he's
Speaker 6: been a really good quarterback for a lot of years,
Speaker 6: but he doesn't get that credit. This really is the
Speaker 6: first year, in my opinion, when he's gotten his due
Speaker 6: from from media types around the country, and so I
Speaker 6: would love for him to win an MVP.
Speaker 2: Most more importantly, i'd love.
Speaker 6: For him to win a championship, because I think that
Speaker 6: does quiet a lot of it. And that's the fair
Speaker 6: part about it. I saw the same thing with Peyton
Speaker 6: Manning and a lot of other quarterbacks. Until you get
Speaker 6: that that championship, or at least get deep into the playoffs,
Speaker 6: into the Super Bowl, you're just not going to get
Speaker 6: that same level of respect. And and I don't think
Speaker 6: that the Cowboys not reaching that level of success has
Speaker 6: been necessarily about Dak. Now. Dak has had some moments
Speaker 6: in playoff games where he hasn't been at his best either,
Speaker 6: But I do think buying large the success of the
Speaker 6: Cowboys over these last three years has really been about
Speaker 6: the fact they've had a premier quarterback and and so
Speaker 6: I would love to see him win a champion, win
Speaker 6: an MVP.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I would absolutely too. I think it would mean
Speaker 7: a lot to him. But man, it's really it's about
Speaker 7: winning these games and stuff like that. So but the
Speaker 7: NBP would be really really nice.
Speaker 8: Yeah. Agree? Okay, the next one, last one, would you
Speaker 8: rather decrease the penalties committed by this team or I
Speaker 8: think you said it, Ron or decrease the penalties or no,
Speaker 8: increase the penalties to be called against Micah?
Speaker 2: I got you.
Speaker 6: Oh, so basically, either decrease you're a whole, or see
Speaker 6: more penalties called against for for micaeh.
Speaker 8: For Micah's favor.
Speaker 5: You want to go with that one, go ahead?
Speaker 6: Uh, I think I would rather decrease my own penalties,
Speaker 6: because whether they get the calls on Micah or not,
Speaker 6: if you're getting the same level of penalties called against
Speaker 6: your team that you get typically, but you decrease the
Speaker 6: number that you're committing, that still works out in your favor.
Speaker 6: So I'll necessarily care so much about them calling micaeh.
Speaker 6: I just want a fair called. So if you're if
Speaker 6: you're not going to make those calls when they're wole
Speaker 6: to Micah, then don't make those calls when the Cowboys
Speaker 6: offensive line is holding whomever.
Speaker 2: Right, So to me, just make it fair.
Speaker 6: However you're gonna call it, call it consistently, and we'll
Speaker 6: deal with whatever they outcome it.
Speaker 7: Give me the team penalties, Yeah, that to me, I
Speaker 7: mean the pre snap stuff or that unfortunate hands the face,
Speaker 7: so that on third down, the unfortunate defensive holding, illegal contact.
Speaker 2: You know, all the money into the punter.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's it's like the list and less.
Speaker 7: They're trying to get off the field and they get
Speaker 7: off the field and all of a sudden it's not there.
Speaker 7: Ye come back, it doesn't work.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's the thing is you got it happens all
Speaker 8: over like on both sides of the ball, not just defense.
Speaker 8: It happens on offense sometimes some special teams as well.
Speaker 8: So yeah, I would definitely go with with as a
Speaker 8: whole decrease all the penalties and that's it.
Speaker 6: All right, good game. We will take our final break.
Speaker 6: We will come back. Got some more questions for these
Speaker 6: guys about the NFC. How does Dallas get to the
Speaker 6: the two C. We'll talk about that when we come back.

Speaker 6: It is the final segment of the Break. We alive
Speaker 6: from the s WBC Morris Studios at the Star. We're
Speaker 6: getting ready for Cowboys versus Lions Tomorrow night is a
Speaker 6: Saturday night game for the Cowboys.
Speaker 2: So here's we're gonna do. Let's talk first about the NFC.
Speaker 6: As I understand it right now, there are two scenarios
Speaker 6: that can help the Cowboys get into a two main
Speaker 6: scenarios that can help the Cowboys get.
Speaker 2: Into the number two seed.
Speaker 6: Right now, They're sitting at the number five seed, but
Speaker 6: the number two seed obviously would give them home field
Speaker 6: for at least the first two rounds assuming they win.
Speaker 6: That being said, they will need Philadelphia to lose one
Speaker 6: of their final two games, either lose to Arizona or
Speaker 6: lose at the New York Giants, and at the same time,
Speaker 6: the Cowboys need to win both of their final two
Speaker 6: games in order.
Speaker 2: To make that happen.
Speaker 6: My question for you guys is how likely do you
Speaker 6: think those scenarios scenarios are at the Dallas Cowboys will
Speaker 6: end up in the second seed.
Speaker 7: Well, it's I think we're at twenty percent. I think
Speaker 7: it's gone, you know. I mean, if you look at
Speaker 7: the metrics and stuff like that, you know it's pretty
Speaker 7: focused that you're locked.
Speaker 5: Into the five. But you know, we'll see.
Speaker 7: But I know Kyler Murray this week, it's sounds. I mean,
Speaker 7: he's been dealing with sickness.
Speaker 5: Illness.
Speaker 7: I mean, we need to have the Michael Jordan flu
Speaker 7: game is what we need him to do. If you
Speaker 7: know that they're going to win Philadelphia, I mean, they
Speaker 7: righted the ship a little bit, but Ben, that was
Speaker 7: a little shaky for them.
Speaker 2: At the end, they could have lost a game.
Speaker 7: I kind of feel like that. I'm hopeful that the
Speaker 7: Giants find a way to win this weekend and they
Speaker 7: still have something to try and just keep playing. Just
Speaker 7: just have some pride.
Speaker 5: You know, don't you know?
Speaker 7: They're they they they've taken the Vido out of the
Speaker 7: lineup and now they're trying I mean they you know,
Speaker 7: it's it's they're trying to win games. I just you know,
Speaker 7: and you never know what the Eagles, what's gonna happen
Speaker 7: with them? You know, you just really don't know, so
Speaker 7: uh likely not, but you just don't know. That's the
Speaker 7: that's why, that's why you have to keep playing. That's
Speaker 7: why you have to you know, until you figure out,
Speaker 7: until you figure out what your situation is. And you're
Speaker 7: probably not going to know until it's you know, until
Speaker 7: both games are going on. You know that now the
Speaker 7: Eagles are winning, and then you can start sitting guys,
Speaker 7: but you got to play to win these next two,
Speaker 7: you really do.
Speaker 8: Yeah, It's like we always find ourselves in a situation
Speaker 8: where it's not up it's not just up to you,
Speaker 8: It depends on what somebody else is doing too. So
Speaker 8: we're sitting here we are again. Even though, and I'll
Speaker 8: go ahead and say it, I think I'm gonna pay
Speaker 8: I'm gonna pick something. I'm gonna pick the Cowboys to
Speaker 8: win this weekend, but part of me thinks that there's
Speaker 8: a very good chance that they might not. This is
Speaker 8: a very difficult it's a very difficult game. And even
Speaker 8: though it's hard to imagine them going on a three
Speaker 8: game losing streak and then losing at home, it's it's
Speaker 8: still a very tough match up here.
Speaker 7: And it's been hard the last three weeks to pick games. Yeah,
Speaker 7: it really has. And you know, and I had confidence, like, yeah,
Speaker 7: they're gonna turn things around in Buffalo, they're gonna figure
Speaker 7: and then they get run all over here.
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, and then you have Washington next week,
Speaker 8: which Washington I think they can they can definitely win
Speaker 8: that game. But you can never under underestimate the Washington
Speaker 8: football team because they will sometimes just give you problems
Speaker 8: regardless of their Yeah, regardless of their current situation, whether
Speaker 8: they're in or out, nothing matters. They're still gonna go
Speaker 8: out there and put up a game and fight and
Speaker 8: give it. They're all usually, and so you can never
Speaker 8: just fully rely on that just checking it as an
Speaker 8: automatic win for the Cowboys. So it's it's a tough one,
Speaker 8: but it's still possible. Anything is possible, So faith is
Speaker 8: the last thing you lose.
Speaker 6: Yeah, the interesting part is if they leave Cowboys lose
Speaker 6: this weekend, they really have nothing to play for next week.
Speaker 2: They assuming assume Philly wins.
Speaker 6: If Philly wins, Dallas lose this weekend, they will lock
Speaker 6: up the NFC East and at that point Dallas is
Speaker 6: already locked into the five seed. So at that point,
Speaker 6: there really isn't anything to play for in that final week,
Speaker 6: and most likely you sit a lot of guys and
Speaker 6: start getting ready for the playoffs.
Speaker 2: So we'll see how it all plays out.
Speaker 5: We had it.
Speaker 7: We had a discussion last night Bobby and I did
Speaker 7: on Love and the Star podcast about would you consider
Speaker 7: playing Trey Lance in the third game, in the last game, Yeah,
Speaker 7: if it didn't matter, if it didn't matter, would you
Speaker 7: just go ahead and just you know, give Trey Lance
Speaker 7: a little work, you know, and just you know, make uh,
Speaker 7: make Dak the third quarterback, and you know, if you
Speaker 7: want to play, say you want to play Cooper rush
Speaker 7: half to keep him fresh and then and then the
Speaker 7: second half go with you know.
Speaker 2: Like a preseason game exactly.
Speaker 7: Yeah, just to just to kind of see where he's
Speaker 7: at and give a little little live look going into
Speaker 7: the season.
Speaker 5: Maybe a little bit confidence.
Speaker 2: We'll see.
Speaker 6: It all depends on what happens this weekend, if they
Speaker 6: win and they're playing that final week, to play out
Speaker 6: that final week to see how Now we also don't know,
Speaker 6: and this is something that just for fans to be aware.
Speaker 6: We still don't know what day and time the Cowboys
Speaker 6: will be playing in the final week. The NFL does
Speaker 6: not release the schedule of who plays on Saturday or
Speaker 6: Sunday that final week and what times they play, So
Speaker 6: we'll find that out I assume probably either Sunday night
Speaker 6: or Monday morning, uh, and then we'll know like where
Speaker 6: our game is relative to where Philadelphia's game is. My
Speaker 6: suspicion is if they're still playing for the division, they'll
Speaker 6: they'll play at the exact same time, so there won't
Speaker 6: be any indication before your game begins as to whether
Speaker 6: you really need to play it or not.
Speaker 7: Right, that's that's what If you win, you will, you
Speaker 7: will play when you're supposed to play.
Speaker 6: My guess is they'll both be afternoon games, is what
Speaker 6: I'm going to guess. But we'll see, we'll see how
Speaker 6: that it all plays out.
Speaker 2: All right, let's let's get down to real quick.
Speaker 6: Also, I wanted to give you guys an opportunity to
Speaker 6: give me your seedings.
Speaker 2: Right now.
Speaker 6: You've got San Francisco, Detroit, Philly, Tampa Bay, Dallas, the
Speaker 6: Rams and Seattle in the playoffs. The teams that are
Speaker 6: still fighting to get in or Minnesota, Atlanta, Green Bay
Speaker 6: and New Orleans. Tampa Bay and New Orleans I think
Speaker 6: play this weekend. Yeah, that will go a long way
Speaker 6: toward who wins that division.
Speaker 2: I would assume.
Speaker 6: Do you guys think that the Rams and Seattle end
Speaker 6: up being the final sixth and seventh seeds they have left?
Speaker 5: It's next to you right there under schedule, so just
Speaker 5: right thir to your next here we go.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Green Bay will be playing at Minnesota and then
Speaker 6: against Chicago.
Speaker 7: Okay, so they got two division games left. So if
Speaker 7: they find a way to win, that would make them.
Speaker 7: Their record right now.
Speaker 5: Is are they six and.
Speaker 6: They're seven and eight, seven and eight, seven and eight.
Speaker 6: They could get to they could get as high as
Speaker 6: nine and eight. Man I wonder if green Bay would
Speaker 6: be the final team. But but Seattle's got who Seattle
Speaker 6: got left? By the way, I'm sure Seattle, and I'm
Speaker 6: looking for it. Seat Sattle has Pittsburgh game, I would
Speaker 6: it depends on who shows up right and then at Arizona,
Speaker 6: which by then in Arizona may be just like ready
Speaker 6: for vacacs.
Speaker 7: They're probably gonna get two wins there. I would say,
Speaker 7: I know it's a tough game in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna say.
Speaker 7: I'm gonna say it's Seattle to be The seven Rams
Speaker 7: are the sixth.
Speaker 2: Here's the interesting part.
Speaker 6: The Rams at eight and seven at the end of
Speaker 6: the season, laan San Francisco San Francisco. Now the interesting
Speaker 6: part also is has San Francisco gotten to a point
Speaker 6: where they've wrapped up everything they can wrap up?
Speaker 5: Now?
Speaker 2: I don't I think they can.
Speaker 6: If if this weekend Dallas wins and Philly loses, maybe yeah,
Speaker 6: because right now Philly and San Francisco are tied, san
Speaker 6: Francisco has the tie breakover.
Speaker 2: Uh so yeah, they.
Speaker 6: Would need they would need Philly to lose in order
Speaker 6: for that game not to matter to San Francisco.
Speaker 5: There you go, So Yeah.
Speaker 6: If Philly wins as we all expect they will this weekend,
Speaker 6: then San Francisco will still be playing that final week
Speaker 6: and that makes it to where the Rams are then
Speaker 6: in a really tough situation of having to maybe play
Speaker 6: to get into the playoffs. There to get a win
Speaker 6: against the San Francisco forty nine ers on the road.
Speaker 8: I think the forty nine ers win that game against
Speaker 8: Sarah Rams. Yeah, that'll be a good game.
Speaker 2: That will be a good game.
Speaker 6: That might be the game they put in the night slot,
Speaker 6: yeah next week because it'll have so many imitations. Yeah,
Speaker 6: all right, let's let's move on to our final I
Speaker 6: want to pick multiple games this week, like we did
Speaker 6: last week. There are a number of games that will
Speaker 6: affect the Cowboys. So I want to go through these
Speaker 6: games and make our picks, and then we'll get to
Speaker 6: the Cowboys versus Lions game and pick that one. So
Speaker 6: let's start first with Arizona, who's three and twelve at Philadelphia,
Speaker 6: who's eleven and four.
Speaker 2: Where do you go?
Speaker 5: Philadelphia wins that game?
Speaker 6: Yeah, Phi, Philadelphia. All right, let's go to New Orleans.
Speaker 6: Tampa Bay. New Orleans is seven and eight. They're going
Speaker 6: to Tampa Bay, who's eight and seven. As you said, Brian,
Speaker 6: Tampa Bay has been pretty hot here lately. Where do
Speaker 6: you think that ends up Tampa?
Speaker 8: I think it carries.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think they get their.
Speaker 7: Thank yeah game. They eliminate the Saints this week, yeat,
Speaker 7: and at that.
Speaker 2: Point do they clinch?
Speaker 4: Can they clinch at that point? I wonder?
Speaker 5: I believe.
Speaker 7: I don't know whether Atlanta's situation, but I think that
Speaker 7: I think they're I think they're well on their way.
Speaker 6: Yes, yeah, Atlanta is seven and eight, so they're one
Speaker 6: game behind Tampa Is.
Speaker 5: So I don't know if they clinched then, yeah.
Speaker 4: I'm not sure.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure.
Speaker 6: It probably depends on what happens with Atlanta this weekend,
Speaker 6: right as well? All right, let's talk about San Francisco
Speaker 6: at Washington.
Speaker 5: There's no way Washington, not.
Speaker 7: Even just like David, no, no, no, San Francisco wins
Speaker 7: the game, but then but then Washington plays their ass
Speaker 7: off the next week.
Speaker 5: Yes you yeah, right, that's that's whew.
Speaker 2: This is gonna be giving up yet like that?
Speaker 6: They I mean they yeah, they're they're in the off
Speaker 6: season already because they.
Speaker 5: They're making making plans to quit.
Speaker 6: Yeah, the coaches is probably won't be there next year.
Speaker 6: That's what most people are thinking. So when you get
Speaker 6: no situations, I don't know if the team is as motivated.
Speaker 2: Maybe no.
Speaker 7: You got one foot in the parking lot and the
Speaker 7: U hauls kind of packed, and you get it ready
Speaker 7: this week because you know the next week, well, like
Speaker 7: we've got to have a good showing. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 7: to leave that leave you know, well, e will the
Speaker 7: good taste in her mouth and we'll find a way
Speaker 7: to be Dallas, you know, eighteen to seventeen.
Speaker 5: Some stupid thing like that. You know, it's yeah.
Speaker 7: They won't play, they won't play with the damn this weekend,
Speaker 7: but they will the next weekend.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 6: And then you've got Pittsburgh. While you ask that question,
Speaker 6: Pittsburgh got Seattle. Both teams are eight and seven. Pittsburgh
Speaker 6: coming off a really nice win last week.
Speaker 5: Is that game in Seattle?
Speaker 2: It's in Seattle.
Speaker 5: Give me Seattle, Yeah, Seattle.
Speaker 8: It's something I'm telling you. I don't know what it is,
Speaker 8: but something about Seattle that I just keep getting drawn
Speaker 8: to them and keeping them as a like someone to
Speaker 8: keep an eye on you. I think Seattle wins that game.
Speaker 2: You know, have you heard if Gino's healthy.
Speaker 5: He's I don't think he's completely healthy, but healthy enough
Speaker 5: to try and win a game against Pittsburgh.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that team set Seattle has gotten it. There was
Speaker 6: a time earlier this year where I was really like,
Speaker 6: they're they're good.
Speaker 2: Now I'm kind of like.
Speaker 5: Eh, I think I can see him live.
Speaker 7: You kind of have an idea that like, the problem
Speaker 7: is the wide receivers are a pain in the rear
Speaker 7: to deal with, and then that runner could be a
Speaker 7: pain in the real deal with too.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, but yea, both of them. Actually they
Speaker 6: got two good ones. All Right, it is time we're
Speaker 6: gonna make our picks. Cowboys versus Lions'll be all right,
Speaker 6: you got like literally as long as it's gonna take
Speaker 6: Brian to make his pick.
Speaker 2: So let's talk about Detroit at Dallas.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know what, I like Dallas at home. We
Speaker 5: you know that.
Speaker 7: I think they finish out the year eight No, uh,
Speaker 7: with their with their their team. Uh give me Dallas
Speaker 7: thirty the Lions twenty four.
Speaker 5: In this football game.
Speaker 7: I thought about going really high in this game because
Speaker 7: I think you're absolutely right with both teams going back
Speaker 7: and forth. But I'll take thirty twenty four Cowboys in
Speaker 7: this one.
Speaker 6: All right, Diego, it's your turn. You want to make
Speaker 6: a pick? Hey, hey, buddy, you ready to make your
Speaker 6: pick today? Who's gonna Who's gonna win this game?

Speaker 2: All right, we got your pick, Diego, good job there
Speaker 2: we go.
Speaker 6: All right, so Diego says Cowboys, thirty five thirty two.
Speaker 6: I am also gonna go Cowboys. I think it's gonna
Speaker 6: be a high score game. Quite frankly, I think they're
Speaker 6: gonna hit into the forties. I'm getting it forty one
Speaker 6: thirty eight in a barn burner. It's gonna be a
Speaker 6: lot of fun. Huh Okay, there's a lot of scoring
Speaker 6: is gonna happen this weekend. I think ultimately is gonna
Speaker 6: be about just like the Seattle game. Yeah, what defense
Speaker 6: can make the stop at the right moment in the
Speaker 6: three four down. Yeah, But it's going to be one
Speaker 6: of those kind of games I think where these offense
Speaker 6: are really going to have a good day. All right,
