He has to 29 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 1: pick the years he's actually on the team. How about that. 30 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: That's a good one. All right?

Nineteen eighty nineties are 35 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 1: running back for Oh that's a skit. Eighty nine eighty 36 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: nine it says thoughts never heard of him. Start. I 37 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 1: thought you were gonna say somebody like Norm Granger. I 38 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 1: think he played in the eighties sometimes twenty eight I 39 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,919 Speaker 1: think so it would be it would be terrible radio. 40 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:32,079 Speaker 1: But Nick does have a photographic memory of Cowboyer running 41 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 1: back nineteen eighty four. All right, but back but back then. 42 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 1: But I'll tell you you feel like, what about week one? 43 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: I'm like week one, Yeah, Nick can't remember the score 44 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 1: of the Bucks game, but he'll be like, yeah, ninety 45 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,960 Speaker 1: four Philly at the Vet. Yeah, seventeen sixteen or whatever, 46 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: half times wild, Yeah, ninety four, speaking of just to 47 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:55,360 Speaker 1: go full circle, ninety four at the Vet. That's Darren 48 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: Woodson had a ninety five yard interception return. I believe 49 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 1: they won thirty thirty one nineteen. What was the what 50 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,359 Speaker 1: was the time in the game when Darren had late 51 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: because it was twenty four nineteen, I believe, and he 52 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 1: picks off a pass and takes it like ninety four 53 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 1: yards for a touchdown and they went I must say 54 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 1: thirty one nineteen nineteen. Yes, and Woody with the huge 55 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,080 Speaker 1: player only touchdown, but that was a big one. That's 56 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 1: I mean, that's wild. But he does he does not 57 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 1: remember the score of like any game from last season. Right, 58 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: asking about Week one, twenty twenty one, it's like, yew 59 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: was the Bucks thirty one twenty nine? And I do though, Hey, 60 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: when we were writing about the last week's game with 61 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 1: Steele and how went full circle? I did. I did 62 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: remember that they won twenty to seventeen, you know, last 63 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 1: week and lost twenty to seventeen in that game against 64 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: the Rams. So this is a huge full circle game 65 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: for him. Terrence Steele. Yeah, so all right, we got 66 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 1: a lot of things we're gonna talk about today. We're 67 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 1: gonna talk about with the storylines for this game. We 68 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: do that every Friday. I got some story last you 69 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 1: guys on the offense and defensive side of the ball. 70 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 1: But before we get to that, let's catch up on 71 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 1: some injury updates. We know that there are a few 72 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 1: guys that are definitely going to be out this game. 73 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 1: They're too in particulate. I want to get your feedback 74 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: on how you think the Cowboys will handle it. Let's 75 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: start with Carlos Watkins defensive tackle. What do the Cowboys 76 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 1: do at defensive tackle from your opinion this week? Good question. 77 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 1: I mean, it's that's been a that's been a low 78 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: key situation since training camp with what happened to Neville. 79 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,599 Speaker 1: You still have Osa, you still have Brent Urban, still 80 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: have Quentin Bohanna. I bet they'll call up Justin Hamilton 81 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 1: from the practice squad between now on Monday, and that'll 82 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,720 Speaker 1: probably be your four primary. I think the guy that could. 83 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 1: I hate saying this because he's barely practiced, but at 84 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: some point Chauncey Golston's got a factor into this defensive end. 85 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:48,840 Speaker 1: He's a guy that kind of can slide down into 86 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 1: tackle they which they might need him at end because 87 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 1: Doren's armstrong. God yeah somewhere, yeah, you know, somehow, some 88 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: way I won't be It's funny. Could like last week 89 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 1: and people have asked me, I get it. People are 90 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 1: curious and they're like, well, he practiced, where is he? 91 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,359 Speaker 1: It's like that was his first pro practice in pads. 92 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: It was the first time he's put on pads since 93 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 1: he was at Iowa. So I'm sitting here like, well, 94 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 1: they're not going to throw him into a pro game 95 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,600 Speaker 1: after two padded practices or sorry, one padded practice, three 96 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,159 Speaker 1: practices overall, like that's insane. But now second week, I'm like, 97 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,919 Speaker 1: might need you, buddy, sorry, Like that grace period was 98 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 1: one week helped me with with Gholston. I remember whatever 99 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: they listed him at the highlights that we showed were there. 100 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,359 Speaker 1: The was the opposite position. So we don't have the 101 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 1: rights to college film without paying out the ass for it. 102 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:45,599 Speaker 1: So sorry, that was two crafts. Yeah, so he was 103 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,719 Speaker 1: an end. He was an end to Iowa, but we 104 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 1: can get Senior Bowl tape. And he got to the 105 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 1: Senior Bowl and was kind of doing mental math. He 106 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 1: was like a lot of ends here, not very many tackles, 107 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 1: and he went to the Senior Bowl coaching staff and 108 00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:58,720 Speaker 1: was like, kick me inside if that's where I can 109 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:00,600 Speaker 1: get on the field. So he played a lot of 110 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 1: tackle with the Evil. They had him playing some tackle 111 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: at OTA's a lot of people I think, um. I 112 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,479 Speaker 1: think Mike McCarthy said yesterday he was like, Chauncey was 113 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: the young lineman that I was the most excited about 114 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 1: heading into camp, and then we just didn't get to 115 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,719 Speaker 1: see him. And Osa has kind of taken his place 116 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,280 Speaker 1: as the ex so there's reason to be excited about that. 117 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:21,840 Speaker 1: He just hasn't had a chance to do much. Didn't 118 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: he also say, And I might be mistaking this, but 119 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 1: I thought I heard that McCarthy said that he expects 120 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: him to actually be playing this week, right. I don't 121 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: remember him saying that he might have I'm not saying 122 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 1: he didn't. I don't remember it off the top of 123 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 1: my head, but that's kind of my point is he 124 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 1: was healthy. He was fully healthy last week and they 125 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 1: were like, not yet. But especially with the injuries that 126 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 1: they're facing, I wouldn't be surprised at all to see 127 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,040 Speaker 1: him up this week and in either one of those 128 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: spots defensive end or defensive tackle. Some utility man get 129 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 1: out there. Yeah, all right, Dorian's armstrong, he's the other guy. 130 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 1: He's out at defensive end. Obviously, Chauncey Golston may fit 131 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 1: factor in there. But what else do you think the 132 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,040 Speaker 1: Cowboys will do at defensive end? They do get Randy 133 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 1: Gregory back this week, is there anything else that you 134 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 1: think they'll need to do in order to adjust for 135 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 1: the numbers that they need to defer? Anybody else that 136 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 1: could rush the passer, somebody that doesn't play the defensive 137 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 1: end but could rush the passer. I feel like we've 138 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 1: talked about it. Maybe I think you'll you will see, 139 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: you will see mica A gale mp. I'm just curious 140 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 1: about the percentages. Is it going to be completely pass 141 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 1: rusher again or is he going to do a little 142 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 1: bit of both. Yesterday at practice, they you know, they 143 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 1: do their individual warm ups, first ten minutes, just getting loose. 144 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 1: He was with the linebackers, and then he made a 145 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: b line for the pass rushers, and he was there 146 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 1: for the rest of the time. We were outside. Now 147 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 1: we don't see them run plays, we don't see any 148 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 1: of the game plan stuff, so I don't know what 149 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 1: that means. But he's gonna he's gonna have a role 150 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 1: on the edge again this week, I guess. Isn't this awesome? 151 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 1: But like just having him like that is like that 152 00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 1: reminds me of like a high school player, like when 153 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: you're you're at a high school guy and like, oh, 154 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 1: this guy right here, he's going to Oklahoma or whatever, 155 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 1: you know, like he's a stud. Like he does this, 156 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 1: he does that, he does all that, Like you don't 157 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 1: see that in the NFL. And I get it's only 158 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 1: two games, but it's just like this is fun, Like 159 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 1: it's fun to and it's surprising that I know it's 160 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 1: only been a couple of games, but you do kind 161 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: of go back and look at the draft and go 162 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 1: who was taking ahead of him, because it just seems 163 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 1: like this is such a dynamic player. That you why 164 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 1: wouldn't Why wasn't he taken earlier? And I guess there 165 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 1: were some off the field issues there were, ye, and 166 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,560 Speaker 1: that's probably that might take him off a few boards. 167 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,680 Speaker 1: And it was just an incredibly offensive heavy draft as well. 168 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 1: I mean, the first defensive player didn't go off the 169 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 1: board until eight. You know, offensive tackles, a boatload of 170 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 1: good wide receivers, and the teams at the top of 171 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 1: the board needed those things. I think that's a big 172 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,679 Speaker 1: part of it as well. I think, yeah, objectively, just 173 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 1: in a general draft class, I think he would have 174 00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 1: gone much higher than he did. And we've talked about 175 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 1: we talked this the other day, Nick, I couldn't think 176 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 1: of another defensive player in the NFL who was more 177 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 1: versatilet probably since Troy Palamala. He was a guy that 178 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 1: you would see all over the field. You'd see him 179 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: up rushing, you'd see him up in the box playing 180 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 1: to run, you see him back deep covering against the 181 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 1: pass like he did a little bit of everything. And 182 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 1: it's hard to find those kind of guys when you 183 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,679 Speaker 1: think about it, even across the league that can do 184 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 1: so many different things like what we've seen in this 185 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,440 Speaker 1: just in the early career of Michael Parson. I just 186 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 1: want to say, though, and I'm not trying to rain 187 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 1: on anybody's parade. I'm as excited about Mica as anybody. 188 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,960 Speaker 1: I wrote a whole column about all of the things 189 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 1: that I think he can do to help you in 190 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 1: this game yesterday. But I think like people are so 191 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 1: eager to win, you know what I mean, like people 192 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,440 Speaker 1: and they want to declare Mica, Like, look at all 193 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 1: these dummies passing on Mica and it's like it's still 194 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 1: week three of the rookie year. Patrick Surtan and j C. Horne. 195 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,319 Speaker 1: It's a bummer. J C. Horne got hurt last night, 196 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 1: but they were off to awesome starts. They both already 197 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,319 Speaker 1: have interceptions. We don't have to declare winners and losers 198 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 1: in September, and it could be a lot of winners took. Yeah. Absolutely, 199 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 1: I mean that's hopefully everybody wins. Like I don't you know, 200 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 1: I don't care, Pat, you know, Sir Tannon Horn are 201 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 1: not gonna drastically affect the Cowboys fortunes. They're not in 202 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,680 Speaker 1: the division or anything. Like. I hope every I hope 203 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,559 Speaker 1: everybody gets to have a great player yea, all right. UM, 204 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 1: one thing I also want to talk to you guys 205 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,079 Speaker 1: real quick about before we get to the storylines. There 206 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 1: was a lot of talk yesterday about the about the 207 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 1: coach in in Philly wearing a T shirt during his 208 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,440 Speaker 1: press conference that said beat Dallas, and it maybe start 209 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:40,199 Speaker 1: thinking about, obviously, in in Philly this week, like it 210 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,560 Speaker 1: is called Dallas week. Every time they play the Cowboys, 211 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 1: it's called Dallas Week. I don't think. I don't live 212 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 1: in Philly, but I don't think they have a giant 213 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 1: sweet Cory Washington football team Weekum. Their their sights are 214 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 1: firmly placed on Dallas. If you ask the Philly fan, 215 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:59,719 Speaker 1: I'm guessing they all will say in consensus, Dallas is 216 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 1: the primary rival. It made me start to think, does 217 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,680 Speaker 1: Allas really have a primary rival? I know that obviously 218 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 1: the divisions the division, but I also get the impression 219 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,720 Speaker 1: that a lot of those teams fan bases look at 220 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 1: Dallas as more of a rival than Dallas looks at 221 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 1: them as a rival. So I put out a little 222 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 1: pole on Twitter. It was interesting what came back. I 223 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,679 Speaker 1: asked fans, who do they think the Cowboys primary rival is? 224 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,479 Speaker 1: Sixty seven percent of them said Philadelphia, which doesn't necessarily 225 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,440 Speaker 1: shock me with followed by the Washington football team at 226 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,559 Speaker 1: twenty three, Giants at ten percent. And I did find 227 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 1: another interesting thing, which was it really kind of seemed 228 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 1: to divide along your age, like older fans are like, oh, 229 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 1: there's no doubt it's the Washington football team, much younger 230 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,440 Speaker 1: fans who have lived and been fans in this last 231 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 1: twenty years fifteen years. For them, it was all about Philadelphia. 232 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 1: So it made me, you know again, I thought that 233 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,679 Speaker 1: was very interesting. I'd love to know what you guys think. 234 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 1: Who do you think is Dallas's primary rival or do 235 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 1: they have a primary in this division? I think that's 236 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 1: a really fun thing about how huge and all encompassing 237 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,680 Speaker 1: this fan base is is It's gonna be a different 238 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:11,959 Speaker 1: answer for everybody, in my opinion, their primary rival, just 239 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 1: in general, is whoever is the biggest obstacle in the 240 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 1: way of winning the division and getting else? When I 241 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 1: got here, I was arguing about this on Twitter with 242 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 1: people yesterday. When I got here, everything was centered around 243 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,440 Speaker 1: the fact that the Cowboys couldn't beat the Giants at 244 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 1: at and T. They could not get over the hump 245 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:29,959 Speaker 1: against Eli Giants knocked him out of the playoffs. The 246 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 1: year they won their first Super Bowl, everybody was just 247 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 1: fixated on not being able to beat the Giants. They've 248 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 1: been beating the Giants asses for a decade now, and 249 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 1: so nobody cares. Thank you, sorry, sorry, sorry, I'm not sorry. Whatever. 250 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,960 Speaker 1: Wait Clarence hill on yesterday and it was way worse 251 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 1: than that. Oh good, Okay, shouts out Clarence. But nobody thinks. 252 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 1: Nobody thinks about the Giants anymore, and it's mainly about 253 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 1: the Eagles. The Eagles have won a Super Bowl recently, 254 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 1: they've had better teams recently. Washington is I know you're 255 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 1: an older and if Washington's your biggest rival, because they 256 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:05,679 Speaker 1: haven't been relevant basically in my lifetime, not other than 257 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 1: a weird year or two here and there, like the 258 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 1: Robert Griffin year or last year or last year. But 259 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 1: they weren't good. Yeah for them, that's relevance. Yeah, they 260 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 1: want a division that's relevant, so I think it changes. 261 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 1: And then the other fun thing is there's people here 262 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:23,719 Speaker 1: listening in Dallas or Texas. We got a boatload of 263 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 1: people in the DMV South Jersey, North Jersey. That's gonna 264 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 1: matter if you're catching hell from Washington fans every day. 265 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 1: That's who you're gonna hate the most. If you're surrounded 266 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,199 Speaker 1: by Eagles fans, you need them to win those two 267 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 1: games more than anything. And I'll take it outside the division. 268 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 1: Even we got fans in Seattle who are surrounded by 269 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,080 Speaker 1: Seahawk fans and that's who they hate just because they're like, 270 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,960 Speaker 1: I just need you to give me something that I 271 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 1: can hold against these Seahawks fans, so they leave me alone. 272 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 1: Like it's a fun thing about a fan base this big. 273 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 1: So I don't think there's one answer, but right now, 274 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 1: I think it's the Eagles. Well, and there's three or 275 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 1: four other teams you throw in there. If you if 276 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,600 Speaker 1: you grew up and follow the Cowboys in the nineties, 277 00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 1: there was one team, one team you had to beat, 278 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,959 Speaker 1: and there was San Francisco. If you were in the seventies, 279 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 1: there was one team you had to beat. If you 280 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,200 Speaker 1: live in San Antonio right now or south of the border, 281 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 1: I guarantee you the Cowboys and Raiders. That's a that's 282 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 1: a really big rivalry there for a lot of our 283 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 1: Hispanic fans. You live close to Houston, because you know 284 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 1: there's hatred for Dallas there, you know, from the Texans 285 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 1: and all that. So there are you think there might 286 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 1: be more to Cowboys fans in Houston than Texans fans. Maybe, 287 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 1: but you would know that creates state rivalry. Yeah, I mean, 288 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 1: and and also you think about Washington. You know, Washington, 289 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 1: there are so many Cowboy fans, and we know we 290 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 1: can look at our state map to see who's who's 291 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 1: watching our our stuff and who's clicking on our website. 292 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 1: It's always the bigger states at California, in Texas and Florida, 293 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 1: New York, and then Virginia always slides in there, and 294 00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 1: a lot of it has to do with that. So 295 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,440 Speaker 1: I think I think historically it's Washington, you know, a 296 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 1: lot of big games. But I think Dave's right, it's 297 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 1: kind of like who who it is right now? I 298 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 1: do nobody hates the Cowboys more than Philly, which that 299 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 1: brings it up a little bit more. And that's that's 300 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 1: part of it too, is Philly does have this fixation 301 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 1: on Dallas and and you kind of return the favorite. 302 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 1: But it's the you know, think about them from the 303 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 1: seventies and eighties and stuff like that. Remember the TV 304 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 1: show Philadelphia. No, there was a show called Dallas. I mean, 305 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 1: that was the show. It was like, yeah, I Dodelphia. 306 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 1: But but it's it's it's the perception too. That's why 307 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 1: they'd probably view Dallas way more than the other teams 308 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 1: in the division because they're all Northeast. They all feel like, 309 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 1: you know, they work hard, they grind their steel mill, 310 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 1: all that stuff, you know, lunch pale type guys. And 311 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,480 Speaker 1: then Dallas it's glitz and glamour and ball this blah 312 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 1: blah blah, which both of them is too stereotypical. But 313 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 1: I mean, I just think that's kind of the view. 314 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,360 Speaker 1: It's like Dallas, you know, absolutely, and that's you know, 315 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 1: when Ship Kelly was there, We're from Philly and we 316 00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 1: fight Rocky this and that, and Dallas's see is this 317 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 1: yeah right, He's yeah exactly. But you know I think Dave, yeah, 318 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 1: I think you hit it on the head. For me, 319 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 1: like fandom, it's the great thing and it's the heartbreaking 320 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 1: thing about being a fan. The greatest rivalries are for everybody. 321 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 1: It's personal because it's about who you got to deal with. 322 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 1: The reason why I hate OHEU so much is because 323 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 1: I got so many friends who went to OU, which 324 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 1: means that every year, that Saturday, that's gonna dictate our 325 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 1: conversations for the next year until that next game, because 326 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:36,880 Speaker 1: anytime college football comes up, I gotta deal with whatever 327 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 1: happens in that Texas OLI game. And it can be 328 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 1: great if we win, it can be heartbreaking and just 329 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 1: like you're depressed for a week having to deal with them, 330 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 1: knowing you got to deal with them for the next 331 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 1: year coming off a loss, and if you get stomped, 332 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 1: oh my god, Like nobody wants to have to deal 333 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 1: with that. That's fandom. I was so spoiled. And there's 334 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 1: no other team than LSU in South Louisiana. That's it. 335 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 1: You can go. You don't have to worry about what 336 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 1: bar you go do to watch the game. It's the 337 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 1: only thing on. It's the only thing anybody cares about. 338 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 1: Then I move here and I got Arkansas fans and 339 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:12,160 Speaker 1: Longhorn fans, and I can't get the bar to turn 340 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 1: my game on because there's a Texas A and M watch. 341 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 1: But I'm like, oh my god, these people are the worst. 342 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,239 Speaker 1: But it but it makes it fun. It makes it 343 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 1: fun that you get to have that give and take 344 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,399 Speaker 1: but that's what the rivalry is built on. It's whatever 345 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 1: your personal thing is. Nicky and I were talking about 346 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 1: this like it's whoever is that. There's always for every 347 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 1: team that's that target that the coach knows, because the 348 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 1: van base knows if you win that game, that's gonna 349 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:36,440 Speaker 1: get you a lot of grace. You can lose a 350 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,400 Speaker 1: lot of other games. Don't lose that game, and don't 351 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,880 Speaker 1: consistently lose that game because that'll get you fired. Yeah, 352 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 1: all right, appreciate We're gonna go ahead and take our 353 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:45,679 Speaker 1: first break when we come back.

Let's talk some storylines. There are lots 402 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 1: of storylines going into this game, as there are every 403 00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 1: week in the NFL. Let's start with the offensive side 404 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:25,119 Speaker 1: of the ball. Philadelphia right now is ranked eighteenth in 405 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,680 Speaker 1: rushing defense. They're allowing one hundred and twenty yards per game. 406 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,639 Speaker 1: Dallas's defense, I'm sorry. Dallas's running game ran for one 407 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 1: hundred and ninety eight yards last week against the Chargers 408 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:40,160 Speaker 1: Los Angeles Chargers. Is this another game where Dallas relies 409 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,200 Speaker 1: on the running game? I think yes, I think that's 410 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,719 Speaker 1: where it starts. We're seeing that where these you know, 411 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 1: but the running game is a dynamic running game. That's 412 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 1: that's what we saw in that last game. And as 413 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 1: and I love what Dave said two weeks ago the 414 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,359 Speaker 1: running game was it was really no different before with 415 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 1: with the you know, with Tampa Bay. I mean, like 416 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 1: that throws these passes that some of them, you know, 417 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,439 Speaker 1: is it a run, is it a pass? Is it 418 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 1: behind the line of scrammons? Either way, it's it's just 419 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 1: to the outside. It's a safe play, but it helps 420 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:16,440 Speaker 1: them get yards. So it's a it's an aggressive um 421 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:22,440 Speaker 1: kind of open ended running attack. I'm just curious to see. 422 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,399 Speaker 1: You know, we're so early in the season, the sample 423 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,960 Speaker 1: size is still we haven't played enough games to have 424 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 1: a true idea of what these guys can do. Um, 425 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 1: So you know the Eagles gave up one hundred and 426 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,119 Speaker 1: eighty nine to Jimmy Garoppolo, Matt Ryan only threw for 427 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,879 Speaker 1: one sixty four. Is that because they have this elite secondary? 428 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,240 Speaker 1: I kind of doubt it. Maybe maybe you just prefer 429 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,120 Speaker 1: the matchups. We know Kyle Shanahan loves to run the pall. 430 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 1: I don't know if anybody in the league's better as 431 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 1: it run the ball. Yeah, Um, so that plays into it. 432 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,359 Speaker 1: So I don't go into this thinking like, yeah, that 433 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 1: they can just gash them on the ground. They should 434 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 1: be able to get yards. I don't know if they 435 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 1: need to run for two hundred and personally, just with 436 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,919 Speaker 1: my own experience watching the Cowboys play the Eagles, I 437 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 1: assume there will be plays there to be made in 438 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 1: the passing game. So yeah, I don't have a firm 439 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:14,920 Speaker 1: clue of what they are and what they're going to 440 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,240 Speaker 1: do yet, But I'm not going away from the passing 441 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:19,639 Speaker 1: game if it's me. And the reason why I was 442 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:21,360 Speaker 1: getting into this question is because I think in Week 443 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,679 Speaker 1: one and Week two, going into the game, you had 444 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:27,480 Speaker 1: a pretty clear understanding of I think we did of 445 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,160 Speaker 1: what those defenses like to do and what they try 446 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 1: to do. And I think with Tampa, you know, stopping 447 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 1: the run is priority one for them. You're going to 448 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,800 Speaker 1: run into a brick wall. Why do it when you 449 00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 1: could have when there was yards to be gained in 450 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,919 Speaker 1: the passing game. We talked about it yesterday. The Chargers 451 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,159 Speaker 1: are team that will play back a lot, and so 452 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,719 Speaker 1: they give you that opportunity to run, So why not 453 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:51,080 Speaker 1: run this game? I don't really know what that's gonna 454 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 1: look like. It feels like it could be a little 455 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 1: bit of both. But you look at the statistics and 456 00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 1: right now it says that running stopping the run is 457 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,679 Speaker 1: not something that has been a priority for them or 458 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 1: that they've been really good at here in these first 459 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 1: two games. Let's we want to the second topic. There's 460 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 1: growing talk of Zeke and and Pollard and kind of 461 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:15,439 Speaker 1: how they're divvying up their roles and responsibilities. Although Pollock 462 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 1: has more yards on fewer carries, should Dallas increase his 463 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 1: workload at the expense of Zeke? I mean, I think 464 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 1: you just keep you just keep playing it and see 465 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 1: how it goes. Um. I think it's fine right now, 466 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 1: just as it is, and I think the game will 467 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:37,320 Speaker 1: dictate if it's a little bit more. It's probably game 468 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:40,280 Speaker 1: plan wise, it's probably like sixty forty Zeke right now 469 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,240 Speaker 1: the game plan going in, which is fine, and then 470 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,720 Speaker 1: as it goes he keeps popping some of these big 471 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:47,879 Speaker 1: runs you and you see, hey, this is working around 472 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,160 Speaker 1: the edge and all that. But you know, I don't 473 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 1: like looking at average. I don't think that's fair to 474 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,440 Speaker 1: either one of them. Average yards per carry, yeah, I 475 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 1: don't that because because when Zeke, you know, if it's 476 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:00,360 Speaker 1: third and one and they give the ball to Zeke, 477 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:01,880 Speaker 1: he gets a couple of yards. I mean, that's that's 478 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,200 Speaker 1: what he's supposed to do. It doesn't help his average, 479 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 1: but it does. It's what he's supposed to do, and 480 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 1: that moves the sticks and all that. So there are 481 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,320 Speaker 1: two different players. I like it. If it I like 482 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 1: a sixty forty, If it goes down to fifty fifty, 483 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,680 Speaker 1: goes sixty forty the other way, that means Pollard's doing 484 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 1: his job and they're and they're gashing them. So I 485 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 1: think it's fine. And the thing is the only people 486 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,600 Speaker 1: that are having an issue is on the outside. I 487 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:28,960 Speaker 1: think Zeke and Pollard are totally fine with it. I believe. Yeah, 488 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't see why this is an issue. 489 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 1: I thought they both played really well and we're actually 490 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,919 Speaker 1: seeing what we've wanted from Tony Pollard. I don't know 491 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 1: anybody that's been calling for him to be like the 492 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:44,680 Speaker 1: lead back in the offense. They split the snap seventy thirty. 493 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 1: I'm looking at the statue right now. Thirteen carries, three receptions, 494 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,960 Speaker 1: throw in three kickoffs, so that's nineteen touches. He was 495 00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:55,960 Speaker 1: averaging seven or eight. That's not okay, that's not enough. 496 00:24:56,480 --> 00:25:00,440 Speaker 1: Twenty touches a game across all of it. That's tastic. 497 00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 1: Seventy snaps snap split. If you want to bump it 498 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,480 Speaker 1: up to sixty forty, I'm okay with that. If for 499 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 1: some reason you think you see something from Zeke where 500 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,440 Speaker 1: he needs to be on the field more. Tampa Bay 501 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,919 Speaker 1: is a great example where they're going to send the 502 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 1: house at you, and you want the better pass protector 503 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 1: he is, by the way, Yeah, that's not lip service 504 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:24,120 Speaker 1: and it's not deferring to the more expensive player. He's 505 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 1: so much better than Tony at that's one of the 506 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:29,639 Speaker 1: better ones I've seen at the position he's so if 507 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:31,159 Speaker 1: it's something like that where he needs to be on 508 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,400 Speaker 1: the field, let what you're seeing dictate that. The fact 509 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,880 Speaker 1: that they're willing to have Tony in as many as 510 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:38,800 Speaker 1: thirty one percent of the time like that can only 511 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:40,680 Speaker 1: be seen as a good thing, because what we were 512 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,400 Speaker 1: worried about was them not using him enough. I don't 513 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 1: think we can say that right now. Is anybody just 514 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:50,440 Speaker 1: like Pollard needed it more last week? I mean, maybe 515 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,919 Speaker 1: that person exists, But I will say this, in a 516 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,360 Speaker 1: lot of the national coverage I've seen this week, there 517 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:57,639 Speaker 1: are people out there that are saying they need to 518 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:02,240 Speaker 1: have the Pollard out there more frequently and defer less 519 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 1: to Zeke because they feel like he gives them more juice. 520 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:09,960 Speaker 1: That But that's idiotic that it is because of what 521 00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 1: we're just talking about. It doesn't work that way. This 522 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,200 Speaker 1: isn't high school where the guy yell you know you, 523 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 1: You grab the you know wide receiver by the face, bask, 524 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,359 Speaker 1: give him the play, run it in and run it. 525 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:23,639 Speaker 1: It doesn't work like that. They have all these plays 526 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:25,400 Speaker 1: they can do. They can switch from here to here, 527 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:27,399 Speaker 1: and when he has to switch from a run to 528 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 1: a pass, then Dak wants to have Zeke right here. 529 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:34,080 Speaker 1: It goes knowing this linebackers coming in. That's why he's 530 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:37,320 Speaker 1: got value on the field more than just the juice. 531 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:41,920 Speaker 1: And let's be honest, Pollard, you know, there was a 532 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 1: there was a reason why. One of the reasons why 533 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:47,440 Speaker 1: that whole thirty three seconds messed up is because Pollard 534 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,520 Speaker 1: didn't have the he was supposed to come off the field. 535 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 1: And I'm not saying it happens all the time, but 536 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,720 Speaker 1: we've seen some lapses in his game like that as well. 537 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:01,720 Speaker 1: That's fine, It's gonna work out perfectly. And I think 538 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,760 Speaker 1: nobody has a problem but the guys on the outside 539 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 1: or whatever, and maybe fantasy owners of Zeke because you know, 540 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:13,880 Speaker 1: because Pollard is cutting into that and I'm not about 541 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:17,119 Speaker 1: but remember when he was drafted, what's the one player 542 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 1: everyone kept comparing him too or Stephen Jones compared him 543 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:24,119 Speaker 1: to com Comar. Well, Camarrow again made it to the 544 00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,080 Speaker 1: Pro Bowler, has made it a few Pro Bowls. One 545 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:27,680 Speaker 1: year he made it to the Pro Bowl with mark 546 00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:29,719 Speaker 1: Ingram and I believe Drew Brees was also in the 547 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl. So it can be done. You can have 548 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 1: success doing in different ways. There nineteen touches on Sunday 549 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:40,080 Speaker 1: thirty percent of the snaps, and again I'd have to 550 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,800 Speaker 1: go back to really see the substitution patterns, but I 551 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,320 Speaker 1: know for a fact that it wasn't the old, boring 552 00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:48,440 Speaker 1: third series of the game. Pollard is in like they're 553 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 1: they're bringing them on and taking them off because it's 554 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,159 Speaker 1: modern sometime they have him out there. Yeah, yeah, So 555 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 1: I just I cannot think of a reason why anybody 556 00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:59,880 Speaker 1: should be upset about the way that this has played. 557 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,840 Speaker 1: So when they handed that ball off the off the 558 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,480 Speaker 1: edge for the touchdown, you know, just you You're thinking 559 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 1: it's gonna pound it in and all of a sudden 560 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,440 Speaker 1: around the corner. I mean, I looked over in the 561 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:12,040 Speaker 1: press box at Dave. I thought Dave would give me 562 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:15,440 Speaker 1: a little bit more excitement than that, because that's a play, 563 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,639 Speaker 1: that's a type of play you've been talking about for years. 564 00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:22,320 Speaker 1: You were just kind of like, we're you and I are. 565 00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,160 Speaker 1: We're we're just different in the way that we digest 566 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,280 Speaker 1: the game. Like I'm all, I'm in my own head 567 00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:29,760 Speaker 1: most of the cerebral That's not what I'm saying. I 568 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:33,440 Speaker 1: just I'm in my own head and I'm thinking about things, 569 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,960 Speaker 1: and I'm like, okay, what's what's going on the sideline? 570 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,360 Speaker 1: And Nick just Nick needs a dialogue. Nick wants to 571 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,760 Speaker 1: talk it out and be like, what's Oh, I know 572 00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,120 Speaker 1: that's I don't know what to talk about. Every game, 573 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:44,920 Speaker 1: the whole game, I don't know if it was I 574 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:47,120 Speaker 1: don't know if it was Tampa or this pass game. 575 00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:48,760 Speaker 1: But Nick was like, oh, you're not used to sitting 576 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 1: so close to me, like you're gonna be able to 577 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:51,840 Speaker 1: hear me. And I was like, I've been hearing you 578 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 1: for eight years, it doesn't matter. How about every game? 579 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,120 Speaker 1: All right? Last year? What I hate? I sat in 580 00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:01,480 Speaker 1: these damn sweets by myself. Yea, yeah, that was probably 581 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,800 Speaker 1: what's this? Oh gosh? And then the lady would come 582 00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:07,680 Speaker 1: in and bring like all these sandwiches for one person, 583 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,240 Speaker 1: even though it was like it's a sweet twenty sandwiches 584 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:12,680 Speaker 1: and I'm so I was just like, hey, they're gonna 585 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:16,560 Speaker 1: flip flicker, you know whatever I'm being. By the third 586 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 1: quarter of every game, I would get a text from 587 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:22,320 Speaker 1: Nick like what y'all doing? How's it going back here? 588 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,520 Speaker 1: Everyone having a good time when y'all eat? Like this 589 00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:28,040 Speaker 1: sucks like me to bring you a sandwich, which I 590 00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:31,239 Speaker 1: do not. I do not find you annoying, but I 591 00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:35,760 Speaker 1: do think probably I'm I'm self conscious about being annoying 592 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:39,280 Speaker 1: because we work with people who're just like, oh my god, 593 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 1: please stop talking. So I and I'm a lowed person. 594 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,640 Speaker 1: I know that about myself. I'm self aware.

That's jobs at 648 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:39,240 Speaker 1: Caliber dot com. All right, let's go. We got seven minutes, 649 00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,560 Speaker 1: six minutes. I don't know what our producers gonna tell me, 650 00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:43,520 Speaker 1: but we got a few minutes to get through the 651 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,440 Speaker 1: defensive storylines and to get our predictions. So we're moving here, 652 00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:49,640 Speaker 1: all right. Okay, So first thing, Dallas has played the 653 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:53,040 Speaker 1: twenty third and thirty first rushing teams in the league. 654 00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,640 Speaker 1: More about Dallas's ability to stop the run or the 655 00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:59,600 Speaker 1: opponent's inability to run, or even their desire to want 656 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:02,640 Speaker 1: to throw instead of run when you evaluate this defense, 657 00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:04,920 Speaker 1: I mean this defense, I am just not ready to 658 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:08,160 Speaker 1: think the Cowboys are some brick wall after what we 659 00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:11,240 Speaker 1: watched last year. I mean, they added Parsons, he didn't 660 00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:15,640 Speaker 1: even play linebacker. Last week, they got a rookie starting 661 00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:17,920 Speaker 1: at one of the tackle spots. I just think I 662 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,400 Speaker 1: think teams know that or think that they can get 663 00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:22,840 Speaker 1: their yardage through the air. I mean, we talk about 664 00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:25,840 Speaker 1: we talk about Anthony Brown all the time. You know, 665 00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:27,680 Speaker 1: where's Waldo? What do you? How do you want to 666 00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:30,959 Speaker 1: attack these guys? And I think until maybe that'll start changing. 667 00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:34,480 Speaker 1: But they're getting takeaways, they're getting picks. People don't maybe 668 00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:36,640 Speaker 1: don't want to throw at Trayvon Digs too. Much longer 669 00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:39,080 Speaker 1: that type of thing. But I just think it's more 670 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,640 Speaker 1: about them thinking, yeah, we can get chunks on these guys, 671 00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:45,000 Speaker 1: and the Chargers did. Cowboys won the game, held them 672 00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,840 Speaker 1: out of the end zone, but Herbert hit some disgusting 673 00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:50,360 Speaker 1: gains in the passing game. So not a lot of 674 00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:52,360 Speaker 1: teams that just want to line up and run the 675 00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:54,640 Speaker 1: ball at you. And Tampa's not one of them, and 676 00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,240 Speaker 1: neither of the Chargers. And you know, I don't think 677 00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,080 Speaker 1: the Eagles are that way too. I mean the Eagles 678 00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:01,840 Speaker 1: rushing yards, a lot of it's gonna come from hurt, 679 00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:03,840 Speaker 1: so it's not traditional running. I don't know if you're 680 00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:06,640 Speaker 1: gonna even see it till you get to I thought 681 00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:08,840 Speaker 1: you'd see it next week. Yeah that might is he 682 00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:12,520 Speaker 1: out in McCaffrey, it's hard to maybe he will. Cowboys 683 00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:15,040 Speaker 1: haven't had a lot of join injury. Sounds like it's 684 00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:18,400 Speaker 1: not good. They don't they don't know the severity, but uh, 685 00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:20,520 Speaker 1: they made it sound like it'll be a multi wackloin. 686 00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:23,239 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Ham's tramps string. I'm sure JC Horn is out. 687 00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:25,960 Speaker 1: Yeah it's broken foot. Yeah, so that you know that 688 00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:28,759 Speaker 1: that's a storyline right there, and obviously we're not trying 689 00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,680 Speaker 1: to jump ahead. But you know that's that's a break 690 00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:33,759 Speaker 1: for the Cowboys to not play them. But but they'll 691 00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:35,920 Speaker 1: they'll be ready, they'll they're prepared that they're gonna be 692 00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,840 Speaker 1: three and oh so I know from experience, Hubble Hubbard 693 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,120 Speaker 1: is not a joy. He's a pretty decent running back 694 00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:45,080 Speaker 1: home the States guy. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, I'll be ready 695 00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:47,280 Speaker 1: to go. But I mean not until maybe they faced Minnesota. 696 00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:51,600 Speaker 1: You're gonna really you know, tested running team. So we'll 697 00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:54,920 Speaker 1: we'll see. But I mean, this week without Carlos Watkins 698 00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:56,600 Speaker 1: in there, and they're gonna have to figure it out 699 00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:59,879 Speaker 1: on the defensive tackle spot. But I mean, that's why 700 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,719 Speaker 1: keep it justin Hamilton, a four year veteran on your 701 00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,719 Speaker 1: practice squad. Yep, these practice squad rules. This is where 702 00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:08,040 Speaker 1: it benefits you right here. This you know, having a 703 00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:09,840 Speaker 1: guy because you usually you have to bring up a 704 00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:12,640 Speaker 1: practice squad guy. You guys making his NFL debut, He's 705 00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:15,000 Speaker 1: calling his family, getting eight hundred tickets, all that stuff. 706 00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:17,919 Speaker 1: This guy's played. Yeah, you like whatever, Yeah, I think 707 00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:19,600 Speaker 1: one of the things and I'm moving on to the 708 00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:22,040 Speaker 1: next topic. But one of the areas where I think, 709 00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:24,920 Speaker 1: or really the area I think that this offense actually 710 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,919 Speaker 1: gets any traction. I'm talking about Philadelphia. Is Jalen hurt 711 00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:31,000 Speaker 1: and the two dimensional part of his game, the fact 712 00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:32,680 Speaker 1: that he can run and he could pick up big 713 00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:34,799 Speaker 1: chunk yards. What do you think is the best way 714 00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,040 Speaker 1: for Dallas to be able to neutralize him or stop 715 00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:40,200 Speaker 1: him and then in the process shut down their offense. 716 00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:43,080 Speaker 1: I would spy him all the time. I wrote a 717 00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:44,640 Speaker 1: whole column about it. I don't know if that's what 718 00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:46,719 Speaker 1: they're gonna do. Since I took the time to write 719 00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:48,880 Speaker 1: a column about it, they'll probably do the exact opposite 720 00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:51,480 Speaker 1: and have Mica rushed the passer. I'd spy with Michael 721 00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:54,200 Speaker 1: Parsons like as often as I could, and maybe not 722 00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:56,399 Speaker 1: every single play, but we talked about that we don't 723 00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,080 Speaker 1: have to get into the nitty gritty of it again, 724 00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:02,200 Speaker 1: but especially third down situations, longer distances where he can 725 00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:07,160 Speaker 1: kill you that way, um obvious passing downs, because that's 726 00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:09,600 Speaker 1: what I mean. His the scrambles are what kill you. 727 00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:12,400 Speaker 1: Like he ran for eighty two against San Francisco, sixty 728 00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:15,800 Speaker 1: nine of them were on scrambles like designed runs. Niners 729 00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:18,320 Speaker 1: had that lockdown, but scrambles where he can break, contain 730 00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,520 Speaker 1: and do whatever he wants. That's where he can kill you. 731 00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:22,560 Speaker 1: So it doesn't have to be Mica, but I would 732 00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:24,400 Speaker 1: have a guy on him. I thought about this yesterday. 733 00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:27,520 Speaker 1: Um Jay Ron Curse could maybe fill that role. If 734 00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:32,120 Speaker 1: Kean O'Neil's out this week. Yeah, I would with the 735 00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:36,400 Speaker 1: Cowboys and Parsons. I would you know, I would spittack him. 736 00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:39,640 Speaker 1: That's yeah, that's a I just created that word spack. 737 00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:43,839 Speaker 1: I would spy attack him. Yeah, I'd spy him, but 738 00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:47,560 Speaker 1: I'd also get after his ass too. And at times 739 00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:49,640 Speaker 1: I'm not just gonna spy him. Wherever you go I go, 740 00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:52,719 Speaker 1: you can actually rush in a less disciplined way. You 741 00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:54,799 Speaker 1: also have spy. You're right, right, but but it's like 742 00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:56,879 Speaker 1: you don't want him that Okay, where I goes, where 743 00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:58,719 Speaker 1: he goes, well, then sometimes he's gonna snap the ball. 744 00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:02,080 Speaker 1: He's gonna be right there, so I'm gonna attack him. 745 00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:07,080 Speaker 1: I think I want to see Mica blitz the A 746 00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:10,160 Speaker 1: gap in this game. I don't think he's done that yet. 747 00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:13,520 Speaker 1: Maybe he did against Tampa. I don't see remember pretty good. 748 00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:15,000 Speaker 1: I think he did. Yeah he is. I think he 749 00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:16,839 Speaker 1: did against Tampa give it. I'm pretty sure he did 750 00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,640 Speaker 1: give it a shot. Well, you got Landon Dickerson starting 751 00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:23,399 Speaker 1: for Brandon Brooke is uh yeah, Brandon Brooks. Why can't 752 00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:26,720 Speaker 1: I am I saying his name? Yeah? I think that's right. Sorry, guard, 753 00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:28,560 Speaker 1: you got a new guy, got a rookie, Got a 754 00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:30,680 Speaker 1: rookie starting right guard. Yeah, I mean a good player. 755 00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:32,640 Speaker 1: He's a good player, but he's a rookie starting. Just 756 00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:35,000 Speaker 1: throw some stuff at him, make him pick up some blitzes. 757 00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:37,520 Speaker 1: He did do it against Tampa and he got picked up. 758 00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:39,719 Speaker 1: But that's a fantastic line. That's why he got off 759 00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:42,960 Speaker 1: that block though, and he pressured him. I thought, I 760 00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:44,960 Speaker 1: remember that play supposed to get all twenty two on 761 00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:48,160 Speaker 1: game pass today. That's what I'm hearing. I cross those fingers. 762 00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:50,200 Speaker 1: That's truth. But that's what I'm hearing. All right, Well, 763 00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:52,319 Speaker 1: you don't want to hear a VP say that he 764 00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:54,719 Speaker 1: knows more than I've heard too. I just don't know 765 00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:56,879 Speaker 1: if that's true or not. We'll see, all right, So 766 00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:58,840 Speaker 1: real quick, we only have about a minute and a 767 00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,160 Speaker 1: half minute left. Give me some predictions. What's going to 768 00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:03,560 Speaker 1: happen this week? Dave. We'll start with you everybody thinks 769 00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:06,000 Speaker 1: I'm the chicken little who won't pick the Cowboys because 770 00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:08,560 Speaker 1: I started off with back those were tough games, and 771 00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:10,360 Speaker 1: that I said it at the time, That is not 772 00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:12,400 Speaker 1: a reflection of what I think this team is or 773 00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:15,480 Speaker 1: could be. Just really hard games to start a season. 774 00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:20,839 Speaker 1: I have absolute faith in the Cowboys to win this game. 775 00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,239 Speaker 1: I think they're better across the board. I think the 776 00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:26,000 Speaker 1: Eagles have are really good on the line on both 777 00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:28,080 Speaker 1: sides of the ball, but both of those lines took 778 00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:30,120 Speaker 1: a hit. They lost the starting right guard, they lost 779 00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:36,359 Speaker 1: their best defensive end, Cowboy killer, Brandon Graham. Cowboys are 780 00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:39,720 Speaker 1: at home, Cowboys have Dak. I just think they're better 781 00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:43,640 Speaker 1: across the board, and I trust what we saw they 782 00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:45,839 Speaker 1: were able to do against Jalen Hurts. I trust Dan 783 00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:50,080 Speaker 1: Quinn to have a plan of attack to limit him. 784 00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:54,440 Speaker 1: I got the Cowboys winning like thirty one, twenty thirty one, seventeen. Honestly, 785 00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:57,560 Speaker 1: I think the spreads four. I think they hit that easily. 786 00:38:57,719 --> 00:38:59,680 Speaker 1: I just if they are as good as I think 787 00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:02,040 Speaker 1: they have the potential to be, this is a game 788 00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:04,480 Speaker 1: they should win pretty comfortably at home. And this is 789 00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:07,000 Speaker 1: in college football, where you're you know You're not gonna 790 00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:09,640 Speaker 1: win forty five ten almost ever in the NFL. But 791 00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:12,960 Speaker 1: thirty one twenty in and division game is a comfortable win, 792 00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:18,319 Speaker 1: and I think they'll get it twenty Dallas. Yeah, I was, 793 00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:20,319 Speaker 1: I was right there in the same boat. I was 794 00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:22,800 Speaker 1: thinking about twenty seven seventeen. I think it's gonna be 795 00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:25,399 Speaker 1: a comfortable win for Dallas. I think that it might 796 00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:27,920 Speaker 1: be a little close early, but I think Dallas has 797 00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:30,479 Speaker 1: more I think Dallas has more ways of being able 798 00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:32,719 Speaker 1: to beat them, and I think they'll pull away at 799 00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:34,359 Speaker 1: the end. I think Dallas gets to win. All right. 800 00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:37,760 Speaker 1: Appreciate you guys. Jonas will be back on Tuesday, Actually Monday, 801 00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:39,520 Speaker 1: we will not have a show because it's a game day, 802 00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:41,600 Speaker 1: but Tuesday we will let you know what happened, what 803 00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:43,239 Speaker 1: went right and wrong with the Cowboys toll.
