Speaker 1: The following. He's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. Cowboys. Are you ready
Speaker 1: for a break? Yes? Are you ready for a break? Absolutely?
Speaker 1: Ready for a break? Yeah, and so much for that.
Speaker 1: It's time for the Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: with Nick Eatman, Brian brought Us, and bar Garcia and
Speaker 1: Derek Eagleton. It is Wednesday, December seventh, twenty twenty two,
Speaker 1: Season eighteen, episode number eighty five. Welcome to the latest
Speaker 1: edition of The Break Life from the s WBC Mortgage Studios.
Speaker 1: At the start, we're presented by mill of like the
Speaker 1: only beer of the Dallas Cowboys, and today we're gonna
Speaker 1: talk to Houston Texans offense versus the Dallas defense. I
Speaker 1: don't know how much time that's gonna take. My suspicion
Speaker 1: is it. Maybe we may be. We'll run through it
Speaker 1: pretty quickly. But we'll also get some calls from you guys,
Speaker 1: maybe some email or some I'm sorry, some tweets from
Speaker 1: you guys. I went all the way back to nineteen
Speaker 1: eighty seven. We got some Perier pigeon from you guys.
Speaker 1: So you guys, all of us eight eight eight eight
Speaker 1: five five two two nine seven again eight eight eight
Speaker 1: eight five five two two nine seven. Let's start with
Speaker 1: I think what's dominated the Cowboys I guess Cowboys world
Speaker 1: for the last a few days. Here. What are we
Speaker 1: hearing about Odell Beckham? Is there anything new at this point?
Speaker 1: Where is he and what are we expecting to happen?
Speaker 1: What are we hearing? I don't know where he is,
Speaker 1: but he did lead a Zona Miami one of those
Speaker 1: plays did leave. Yeah, okay, I think as it stands
Speaker 1: right now, everything that we've been told for what both
Speaker 1: sides want, this doesn't look to work out right now
Speaker 1: because they want Odell to play this year, doesn't like
Speaker 1: his knee is ready to do that. You're gonna have
Speaker 1: to make a deep, deep run in the playoffs, something
Speaker 1: that hasn't been done in thirty years. So it's hard
Speaker 1: to just foresee that that happening. So unless Odell's price
Speaker 1: comes down to something that's that makes sense for next
Speaker 1: year and that's something that the the Cowboys want to pursue,
Speaker 1: this just doesn't seem like the timing fits. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: I think what we've learned is the Cowboys were going
Speaker 1: to be super aggressive and trying to get this done.
Speaker 1: And they were they were kind of ramping this thing
Speaker 1: up in a way of Okay, let's let's think about this, Okay,
Speaker 1: let's do it. You know, everybody was kind of rallying,
Speaker 1: they were recruiting, and then they got to the point
Speaker 1: where they got to see the knee. And then when
Speaker 1: that happened, then all of a sudden, the realization set in.
Speaker 1: It's like, okay, we did all we could to make
Speaker 1: the guy feel love. What you absolutely have to do
Speaker 1: with this guy. You absolutely have to recruit him. And
Speaker 1: you know, so they got to a point where they
Speaker 1: got the knee, looked at did they get their workout
Speaker 1: and no, But did they get to pull and push
Speaker 1: and have an idea and ask him a bunch of
Speaker 1: questions and ask him how the rehab's been and all that.
Speaker 1: You know, he sat there and answered a bunch of
Speaker 1: questions about it. And but it comes to the realization that,
Speaker 1: you know, you're probably not going to be ready until
Speaker 1: the playoffs. You could talk about wanting to be in
Speaker 1: the playoffs and all that, but there's also the realization
Speaker 1: that this thing might not be well enough until next year,
Speaker 1: until it really and I think that's where the Cowboys
Speaker 1: are right now. And I know Nick is you guys
Speaker 1: have done a great job on Dallas Cowboys dot com,
Speaker 1: you know, talking about where the deal you know, is
Speaker 1: it more about can they get something done this year?
Speaker 1: They want to do Cowboys want to do something now.
Speaker 1: And you know he's kind of like, well, I want
Speaker 1: some security for longer term, and I don't think the
Speaker 1: Cowboys are ready for that. And I like what Nick
Speaker 1: saying about the timing. I heard him on one oh
Speaker 1: five three this morning talking about that, and I think
Speaker 1: the timing is the right word for this. It's just
Speaker 1: it's just not good right now for where he is
Speaker 1: physically and what the Cowboys are willing to do. I
Speaker 1: think that had this been happening a few weeks ago,
Speaker 1: it would have been very, very frustrating and upsetting to
Speaker 1: hear this when you're like, we absolutely need a wide
Speaker 1: receiver to come in here and help this team and
Speaker 1: elevate it to another level. Now I feel that I'm okay,
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, it sucks that it doesn't seem that
Speaker 1: it's going to be working out, at least for this year,
Speaker 1: but it feels like the wide receivers that we've got
Speaker 1: the step that they've taken forward. It seems to be
Speaker 1: now where maybe it's enough for this team. And also
Speaker 1: I saw somebody tweeting a Cowboy's Break mentioning why is
Speaker 1: nobody talking about James Washington? And here's another one that
Speaker 1: his window has been activated and we're not really And
Speaker 1: I think the reason is because I don't think most
Speaker 1: of us expect him to be a huge difference maker
Speaker 1: once he comes in. We might be wrong, or I
Speaker 1: might be wrong. He might show some things, but I
Speaker 1: think as it stands right now, and I don't know
Speaker 1: about you guys, I feel that we're okay and we
Speaker 1: can make it happen with the guys that we had. Yeah,
Speaker 1: James Washington needs to be better than Noah Brown, and
Speaker 1: right now I'm not sure that he is. Well that's yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what you have to get him out on the
Speaker 1: field and work with him. Yeah, And I you know,
Speaker 1: you've you've got a couple of roster moves. You're playing
Speaker 1: light right now, You're down one player. You know, you've
Speaker 1: been playing with fifty two players you've got. You know
Speaker 1: you're gonna you're gonna put Brown on injured reserver or
Speaker 1: he's gonna be done for the season, so that they'll
Speaker 1: give you another spot. Now. Now, the next options for
Speaker 1: a front office is activate Washington and then get Tyrant
Speaker 1: Smith on those your next two moves that you're going
Speaker 1: to make. And you know, I've kind of felt like
Speaker 1: that the Beckham Washington was kind of tied together, and
Speaker 1: maybe it really wasn't, but I just didn't feel like
Speaker 1: they wanted to make two moves at wide receiver. I
Speaker 1: didn't feel like they wanted to add Beckham and Washington
Speaker 1: and then have to kind of figure I think they
Speaker 1: really want to see Tolbert continue to play or at
Speaker 1: least be active and get those opportunities, you know. More
Speaker 1: so that's the future of your team, not probably Washington
Speaker 1: or Beckham, Ernie this guy. That's that's your future going
Speaker 1: forward right there. Yeah, I don't. I don't think it
Speaker 1: has to be better than no Brown. I think it
Speaker 1: has to be better than Tilbert. I think Noah Brown
Speaker 1: moves into a role with Joseph now and not playing
Speaker 1: as much on special teams. Um. I think that that
Speaker 1: you know, Tilbert runs around out there. I think Washington
Speaker 1: can be better than that. From the sounds of things
Speaker 1: talking to some people. Uh, he's done a pretty nice
Speaker 1: job in practice so far, James Washington. So yeah, we're
Speaker 1: all looking to see him. Everyone's been talking about it
Speaker 1: for a while. Uh you know, I I think he'll
Speaker 1: and I think he is. He's obviously better than Odell
Speaker 1: Beckham right now because Odell Beckham can't play now, you know,
Speaker 1: when they're both at their best. Of course. That that's
Speaker 1: what makes this thing so exciting about Odell. And let's
Speaker 1: go back to I don't know who it was tweeted
Speaker 1: this thing out, but a month ago, three weeks ago,
Speaker 1: when they said, you know, Odell has been cleared okay
Speaker 1: by who? Like, that's what changed everything, because when people
Speaker 1: got it in their mind that Odell was healthy and
Speaker 1: ready to play, that's when it was like this thing
Speaker 1: got some legs when I never should. Well that was that.
Speaker 1: That goes back to Jay Glazer. That goes back to
Speaker 1: like in the mid the beginning of November and like
Speaker 1: and he went on Fox pregame show and in his
Speaker 1: you know, game notes, he was talking about Odell Beckham,
Speaker 1: I mean, and it got a lot of push, you know,
Speaker 1: and then that's when everybody started to get excited, Like Okay,
Speaker 1: like Amber was talking about the Cowboys were kind of
Speaker 1: in that little bit of a lull at wide receiver
Speaker 1: and like, man, you need a wide receiver. Well here
Speaker 1: we go that kind of thing. So, yeah, it was Glazer,
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, the other guys like
Speaker 1: the Ian Rappaports and others were like, well, well, well
Speaker 1: wait a minute, I don't think that. Then we started
Speaker 1: to hear the first of December, you know, and then
Speaker 1: it turned into okay, well now he's going to take visits.
Speaker 1: Well we're almost to the middle of December now, you know,
Speaker 1: and you're kind of like thinking, he's still trying to
Speaker 1: make a decision. So this thing has gone like six
Speaker 1: weeks since Jay Glazer first went on Fox and told
Speaker 1: the world that Odell Beckham had been cleared for medical stuff.
Speaker 1: And to Nick's point, you know that every trainer and
Speaker 1: doctor that I talked to around the league was like,
Speaker 1: by who who is cleared by? And I feel like
Speaker 1: we would have had seen on social media Odell putting
Speaker 1: out videos of you know, working out, cutting doing some routes,
Speaker 1: or doing some running of some sort, which I feel
Speaker 1: that almost every football player that's working under rehabbing, coming
Speaker 1: back and trying to show what, you know, how they're
Speaker 1: improving and progressing. They start putting out videos like that,
Speaker 1: and that's one that we haven't seen at all. And
Speaker 1: because I think that, Yeah, I think, I think he
Speaker 1: just ran out of time on this one. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: really do. Let me ask this question, and Amber, you
Speaker 1: brought this up. I think it's an interesting point. You say,
Speaker 1: right now you think, as opposed a few months ago
Speaker 1: or a few weeks ago, you think the wide receivers
Speaker 1: are good enough. Does the loss of Anthony Brown change
Speaker 1: that a bit? And what I mean by that is,
Speaker 1: are you going to find yourself in a situation where
Speaker 1: this defense, you've been able to count on this defense
Speaker 1: throughout this year, you get a little you know, a
Speaker 1: guy over your cornerback that maybe gives up a little
Speaker 1: bit more. Are you now in a situation where you
Speaker 1: need a little more scoring, you need a little bit
Speaker 1: more from your offense. And let's be honest, and this
Speaker 1: has been one of your big things, Zamber. They don't
Speaker 1: start games, well, they have not started game as well. Right, So,
Speaker 1: with all those things being considered, do you think that
Speaker 1: maybe that factors in the loss of Anthony Brown. Does
Speaker 1: that factor in on, Hey, we might need more firepower
Speaker 1: on this offense in order to make this team really
Speaker 1: be able to go, especially when we start playing better
Speaker 1: teams in the playoffs. I think that I think what
Speaker 1: the Cowboys offense is currently doing would be enough because
Speaker 1: what they're doing with the running game, plus how the
Speaker 1: receivers are playing, I think it's enough for them to
Speaker 1: keep up with scoring points. The biggest thing is that
Speaker 1: how long does it take for them to move the
Speaker 1: chains and get the rhythm going for a game. That's
Speaker 1: the biggest aspect of it. But does become concerning and
Speaker 1: we've we've seen it because even with Anthony Brown in
Speaker 1: the game, I mean I like to defend him from
Speaker 1: time to time, but it had become it had gotten
Speaker 1: to a point where you can't really defend it anymore.
Speaker 1: And he had been having a bad season and teams
Speaker 1: were attacking him, and like Nick and Brian said yesterday,
Speaker 1: Trevor Days is just like, you know, give me something
Speaker 1: because nothing's coming my way. So it does bring up
Speaker 1: some concerns for sure, But I do think that the
Speaker 1: offense can be enough to keep up and compete. Has
Speaker 1: Anthony Brown really hurts like I know, it seems like
Speaker 1: to me you can count on basically one player game
Speaker 1: that he's gonna give up. Yeah, there are other times
Speaker 1: they are going down field and it doesn't necessarily connect.
Speaker 1: So is he really is he really hurting you? And
Speaker 1: is Kelvin Joseph gonna now give up two or three
Speaker 1: of those plays or is it a situation where if
Speaker 1: he only gives up one then you're still fine. You're
Speaker 1: getting exactly what you were getting. Can I circle back
Speaker 1: to your question to know about firepower? The general manager
Speaker 1: told us this in Tampa week that you will get
Speaker 1: Tyrant Smith back during the meat of the run. That's
Speaker 1: your answer for firepower. That it's not it's offense. It's
Speaker 1: not receivers or skill. It's a Hall of Fame left tackle.
Speaker 1: That's that's that's to me. If you want to say,
Speaker 1: I can add O'Dell Beckham now to help me, But
Speaker 1: what can I add? I could add Tyrand Smith to
Speaker 1: the lineup, you know, a Hall of and we'll see
Speaker 1: if he plays at that level that we've all accustomed to.
Speaker 1: So that's the move offensively that I'm looking for now.
Speaker 1: You know, I don't think I don't have a shot
Speaker 1: at Odell Beckham for this year. So now I'm looking
Speaker 1: at can tyrand Smith be that guy? And can moving
Speaker 1: some guys around make my running game even better, make
Speaker 1: my pass protection even better, give my quarterback better opportunity
Speaker 1: to find the better wide receivers and the young tight
Speaker 1: ends and you know the Whackamo Brothers, you know, that's
Speaker 1: that's that's you know they you know, work with those guys.
Speaker 1: That's kind of how I kind of feel like this
Speaker 1: is going to where you're going to get. Now. The
Speaker 1: thing about with Anthony Brown and stuff like that, yeah,
Speaker 1: that that The thing that's disappointing is that you know,
Speaker 1: we've we've seen him play at a much higher level.
Speaker 1: And the thing that the concern of me now is
Speaker 1: I'm going to take a chance with Joseph because this
Speaker 1: coaching staff has proven, the scouts have proven to me
Speaker 1: that when they add players or you know, there's a
Speaker 1: reason they drafted Kelvin Joseph in the second round. Now
Speaker 1: it might be a miss they have they have a
Speaker 1: history of second round missus. They've also have a history
Speaker 1: of some second round yes, absolutely too. So I am
Speaker 1: going to trust that dan Quinn realizes the strength of
Speaker 1: that kid playing out there, and maybe he's not going
Speaker 1: to put him out there by himself. You know, maybe
Speaker 1: he's gonna like, Okay, I got to protect him a
Speaker 1: little bit. Maybe I play a little bit more zone
Speaker 1: where he can drive on balls, or maybe I played
Speaker 1: to his strengths where I know he's going to be physical.
Speaker 1: But I worry about him holding at the line of scrimmage.
Speaker 1: I worry about him being very handy. I worry about
Speaker 1: him maybe playing some depth and all of a sudden
Speaker 1: just grabbing the guy because he didn't read the route
Speaker 1: the right way. I trust dan Quinn is going to
Speaker 1: do what he has to do to protect that kid.
Speaker 1: Will it be enough? The next few games will tell
Speaker 1: you that. And you know you do have options though,
Speaker 1: with Bland and some others there. You know, we'll see
Speaker 1: if they can somebody off the practice squad can help.
Speaker 1: But that's that's I mean, Dean Sanders ain't walking through
Speaker 1: that door, you know, as they used to say, I mean,
Speaker 1: he ain't walking through You got to kind of sending
Speaker 1: us all to the transfer portals. I like his honesty though,
Speaker 1: I love it. I love it. Yeah, you're not You're
Speaker 1: not one and ten for a reason. You know, I've
Speaker 1: seen it usually are Yeah. Yeah, you guys are not
Speaker 1: going to get me fired. Honestly, there are more college
Speaker 1: programs probably got to do that. Yeah, tell him, you're
Speaker 1: not entitled anything. Yeah, but anyway, but no, that's the
Speaker 1: that's my thought. I'm gonna trust it. Dan Quinn and
Speaker 1: Joe Witt and and and Al Harris are going to
Speaker 1: have this kid ready to play. Will it be good
Speaker 1: enough again? Time will tell. All right, let's let's take
Speaker 1: our first. Ahead's gonna say real quick, that's like I
Speaker 1: want to believe. But even like the greatest like it.
Speaker 1: You know, look at people you like Michael Jackson, Beyonce,
Speaker 1: but Bunny. You know, they put out most of the
Speaker 1: songs you like and love, but then there's that one
Speaker 1: song though You're like, what the heck like this is?
Speaker 1: I'm not feeling this one. So I didn't pit Bull
Speaker 1: that way for you too. I'm not a really fan
Speaker 1: of Pip. She let him go after bad Bunny came over. Okay,
Speaker 1: I like as a person and his charisma. I don't
Speaker 1: like his musically anyways. My point is there's always a
Speaker 1: there can be a miss, And I'm not saying I
Speaker 1: want to believe, and let's see what happens in the
Speaker 1: next few weeks. But I think, I mean, Kelvin might
Speaker 1: be a miss for the Kyle wo We don't know.
Speaker 1: We'll see how he handles this stretch and what happens
Speaker 1: next year, but that could be a possibility too. Even
Speaker 1: though I highly highly trust dan Quinn and his talent
Speaker 1: and what he can do and develop that the only
Speaker 1: reason I do that is they've they've bought my trust,
Speaker 1: They've earned it. They they've absolutely earned my trust. So
Speaker 1: I was last year, I was praying this defense would
Speaker 1: be middle of the road, and they led the league
Speaker 1: in turnovers, and then they figured out, Oh, by the way,
Speaker 1: this more Michael Michael Parsons, guy who if you watch
Speaker 1: Penn State tape, they never played him as a rush end.
Speaker 1: Dan Quinn said, what if we put this kid in?
Speaker 1: What do you think? Well, next thing, you know, he's
Speaker 1: double digit sack guy every year. And he also said
Speaker 1: in the offseason, apparently he told some people that the
Speaker 1: guys I'm most excited about was Donovan Wilson. He said
Speaker 1: he there are some things with Donovan Wilson that we
Speaker 1: can do to be really creative on defense, and Donovan
Speaker 1: Wilson is tied with you know, with Layton Vanderesh and
Speaker 1: tackles right now on the team. Layton Vanderesh a guy
Speaker 1: that I thought he was going to Pittsburgh and then
Speaker 1: Steelers signed someone else and he came back to Dallas.
Speaker 1: But you know, ironically about second round picks that the
Speaker 1: Cowboys have three of them right now that they're about
Speaker 1: to add to this, not add to the team, but
Speaker 1: add to either the mix. I would say, Kelvin Joseph
Speaker 1: second round pick. So let's see what they you know,
Speaker 1: what they've got. James Washington was the second round pick
Speaker 1: of the Steelers. McKenzie Alexander, who's expected to be on
Speaker 1: the practice squad, second round pick of the Vikings. I
Speaker 1: believe same draft as Jalen Smith. You know, Dak that draft,
Speaker 1: but at some point somebody thought you could play, you
Speaker 1: could play at a high level. And so you know,
Speaker 1: we'll see these these guys right there are now kind
Speaker 1: of in the mix here. All right, we're gonna take
Speaker 1: our first break. We're gonna come back. We'll talk about
Speaker 1: the Houston offense versus Dallas defense. This is Dallas Cowboys

Speaker 1: All right, let's let's get into the Houston office versus
Speaker 1: the Dallas defense. I want to preface this by saying,
Speaker 1: before we start talking about Hugh, was this Houston team,
Speaker 1: UM just know this week you're from there? No? No No, no,
Speaker 1: well that's actually where I was going a little bit.
Speaker 1: But he was wishing that would come back. I really do.
Speaker 1: I really do wish the Oilers still around. But one
Speaker 1: thing to note here is this is gonna be one
Speaker 1: of those weeks where for Dallas fans this game doesn't
Speaker 1: even rate, like it's not really a game you're probably
Speaker 1: that excited about. Will care much about talking about rust
Speaker 1: and games? I will. I will put money on it
Speaker 1: that in the city of Houston, at least in the
Speaker 1: Texans building. Yeah, they are looking at this as if
Speaker 1: we don't win any other game this year, and by
Speaker 1: the way, they've only won one other game this year.
Speaker 1: This is the game that the want to win really really,
Speaker 1: really bad. You see it in I know, you see
Speaker 1: it in college, you see it sometimes in the pros.
Speaker 1: But there are times sometimes where your matchup is for
Speaker 1: one team more about we have to beat this team,
Speaker 1: and sometimes matching that energy can be a problem. So
Speaker 1: I'm gonna preface all the conversation we have this week
Speaker 1: when we talk about this team. They're not very good
Speaker 1: and they are not very good. Like you look at
Speaker 1: all the statistics you watch them play, they are not
Speaker 1: a very good team. Just no, don't be surprised if
Speaker 1: you get to halftime of that game and you're like, man,
Speaker 1: well that's happening in this game like I expected them
Speaker 1: to do. I expected Dallas and just to blow them out.
Speaker 1: That could be one of these kinds of weeks. That
Speaker 1: being said, now let's jump in and let's talk about
Speaker 1: Houston versus Dallas. Starting with the Houston offense versus Dallas defense. Brian,
Speaker 1: tell me, do they have a strength? What is their strength? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's actually Damian Pierce, the running back. That's the guy
Speaker 1: that I mean to me, I he is, that's a
Speaker 1: fourth round pick man and you're looking at him and
Speaker 1: I'm watching him play and their offensive line is not.
Speaker 1: But this kid makes people miss. He gets extra yards
Speaker 1: after contact. I mean, he just bounces up after every play.
Speaker 1: There'll be plays where they have negative runs and he like,
Speaker 1: he just bounces up and then the next play they
Speaker 1: hand it to him and he goes twelve yards. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's just that kind of player. And you know, they
Speaker 1: hit on one there, They really really did, because he
Speaker 1: is their best offensive weapon. You can talk about with
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks and stuff. He's been banged up, Nico Collins.
Speaker 1: I mean, Philip Door said, it's just kind of a
Speaker 1: group of receivers. But we've seen kind of group of
Speaker 1: receivers have some success before, you know, if you look
Speaker 1: at what the Packers were able to do. But Colly
Speaker 1: different quarterback there. They're back to Davis Mills at quarterback.
Speaker 1: They've been running with Kyle Allen the last two weeks.
Speaker 1: He's not been very good. You know, we all kind
Speaker 1: of know Kyle Allen from when he was with the Commanders,
Speaker 1: but Davis Mills is the guy that is going to
Speaker 1: run back the offense little bit. And he's capable of
Speaker 1: throwing the football. I mean he's apable, but he takes sacks.
Speaker 1: He you know, he doesn't make quick decisions in the pocket.
Speaker 1: And the problem is their offensive line. They have Laramie
Speaker 1: Tunsil at left tackle. Excuse at left tackle. He's a
Speaker 1: good player, he's just not to the level that he
Speaker 1: once was. I just watch him play. I mean you
Speaker 1: see people get around him. You know. Titus Howard on
Speaker 1: the other side is the same way. I mean, those
Speaker 1: guys were, you know, very high draft picks, and they're
Speaker 1: both just struggling. Kenyan Green from my alma Modern LSU,
Speaker 1: was a first round pick at guard. He's struggling pretty
Speaker 1: bad too. They really look very light up front the
Speaker 1: way they play. They give up a lot of a
Speaker 1: lot of ground when you rush them. They absorb blocks
Speaker 1: and then absorb their man and then they really don't
Speaker 1: have any kind of strength to make it work. But
Speaker 1: this runner, they try and create plays with him. It's
Speaker 1: almost like a college offense, you know, with a lot
Speaker 1: of movement, the inside handoffs, motion coming the other way,
Speaker 1: try and kind of trick you into running the football.
Speaker 1: But if this guy get space, I'm talking about Pierce,
Speaker 1: he can make you pay for it. That's the that's
Speaker 1: their best shot. I mean, here's another back that Dallas
Speaker 1: is going to have to uh to be aware of.
Speaker 1: And you know, the last several weeks they've played some
Speaker 1: quality backs and they've done a really good job. This
Speaker 1: guy will be another test. But this offensive line will
Speaker 1: struggle to block the Cowboys offense. Cowboys defensive What I
Speaker 1: love about about hearing that and going to what you said,
Speaker 1: You're right. I mean, it happens all the time. You
Speaker 1: just you just don't match that level of intensity. It's
Speaker 1: a twelve o'clock game. You know. There are some some
Speaker 1: writings on the wall that it could be that way.
Speaker 1: The good thing about it is is that these defensive linemen,
Speaker 1: including Michael Parsons, are led by Michael Parsons. They want
Speaker 1: to get as many sacked as they can get, and
Speaker 1: and they will. They will hunt in a situation like
Speaker 1: that with offensive line isn't isn't as good and all that,
Speaker 1: so I think they will always be ready to play
Speaker 1: in a situation about a tacking fears getting after the
Speaker 1: quarterback the offense. You know, that's usually you can have
Speaker 1: a slow start here and there and you got it.
Speaker 1: But I do think that this team feeds off the defense,
Speaker 1: led by Micah Parsons, led by his mentality, and I
Speaker 1: think it's really hard to for them to not have
Speaker 1: that focus. Let me pause, you're right quick, because I
Speaker 1: know that I get that. One of the things that
Speaker 1: you've talked about particularly is and this was going back
Speaker 1: to the weeks when they were really struggling with the run.
Speaker 1: You were like, I think part of the problem why
Speaker 1: they're struggling with the run is because they're so aggressive,
Speaker 1: and they're going out the games saying, I want to
Speaker 1: go get the quarterback, I want SAX, I want SAX.
Speaker 1: Do you think that could actually be a problem if
Speaker 1: they go into this week thinking Davis Mills like that,
Speaker 1: that's that's blood in the water and they're going to
Speaker 1: go get the quarterback and now pierces out of the
Speaker 1: backfield and running for thirty yards. That's the catch twenty
Speaker 1: two of the whole thing is that you could that
Speaker 1: could happen. I think that they've done a nice job
Speaker 1: though of kind of flipping the script though and being
Speaker 1: more a run first time. You know, you look at
Speaker 1: the teams that they were facing here the last three
Speaker 1: runners and Markley and Taylor and Cook I guess for
Speaker 1: the last three. Yeah, and they've done really really good
Speaker 1: running backs by the way. Yeah, I think they'll have
Speaker 1: the same focus here and it will get to third
Speaker 1: and long. And when it does, then that's what. Well,
Speaker 1: if they're if they're studying the tape, they're gonna look
Speaker 1: at this team, this offense, and they're going to see
Speaker 1: that he's their best player. That's that's the guy that
Speaker 1: they have to stop. And they're they're going to figure
Speaker 1: it out. And you know, we we can we can
Speaker 1: talk about this like we always do. You can. You
Speaker 1: can sit there and take you can take digs and
Speaker 1: put them with whoever you feel like their best weapon
Speaker 1: is on the receiver and then put ten men in
Speaker 1: the box and say, okay, try and run the ball now,
Speaker 1: you know that kind of thing with an offensive line.
Speaker 1: I mean, they've done a good job the last three
Speaker 1: weeks of playing the run. You know, you get these
Speaker 1: major backs that are only averaging three and a half
Speaker 1: yards to carry, and that's that's winning football right there.
Speaker 1: And so it'll be a challenge with this kid. But
Speaker 1: like I said, their offensive line, the last thing that
Speaker 1: they want to do is expose And we say this
Speaker 1: every week about the teams that are playing the Cowboys,
Speaker 1: especially upfront, is you do not want to expose your
Speaker 1: quarterback to pass rush. So I could see them saying, Okay,
Speaker 1: we're gonna try and toss the ball. We're gonna try
Speaker 1: and run misdirection, We're gonna try and run counters, we're
Speaker 1: gonna try and run shovel pass. We're gonna try and
Speaker 1: do anything we can screens just to kind of keep
Speaker 1: this defense from because they know their offensive line can't
Speaker 1: block this front, and the kid will run hard. I
Speaker 1: mean he, like I said, there might be three or
Speaker 1: four negative plays in a row and then he busts
Speaker 1: won for like twenty eight yards. I mean, it happens
Speaker 1: every game with this guy. I think that us as
Speaker 1: long as your offense, Cowboys offense, it's corn points that
Speaker 1: they need to The defense is gonna start off focusing
Speaker 1: on what they need to take care of, which is
Speaker 1: their run, and then they can feast on attacking the
Speaker 1: quarterback and it gets to that point similar to what
Speaker 1: we saw last week, where he gets to the point
Speaker 1: where now they're just having fun, and as soon as
Speaker 1: your guys are having fun, it's game over. That's an
Speaker 1: absolute win for your team. So I think it will
Speaker 1: get to that point a lot sooner than like a
Speaker 1: third quarter or a fourth quarter. He'll be in the
Speaker 1: first half. They'll take care of the runs, stop it
Speaker 1: when they need to. But you get let's say, even
Speaker 1: two possessions in ahead, that's it. They'll they're gonna wanna,
Speaker 1: you know, rank up those sacks, and like Nick said,
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons will probably want to add what was it
Speaker 1: three probably for this game. Probably we kind of make
Speaker 1: up for the last game he didn't. Yeah, yeah, he's
Speaker 1: gonna he's gonna be ready average just won a game
Speaker 1: even though he's never had one. Yeah he gets two
Speaker 1: or zero? Yeah, yes, all enough, he's back to He'll
Speaker 1: probably try to get two here. Let's this thing I
Speaker 1: thought was really interesting. I was looking at weeks fourth
Speaker 1: through ten, Damian Pierster running back in Houston. He rushed
Speaker 1: for ninety plus yards in five of those six games.
Speaker 1: That was like the part of the season wherebody's like, man,
Speaker 1: who's this kid in Houston? He is running the ball
Speaker 1: really effectively. Fantasy football guys are trying to exactly people
Speaker 1: trying to pick him up and got him on their teams.
Speaker 1: And then the last three weeks happened. Against Washington he
Speaker 1: had eight yards, had Minnesota he had eight yards, and
Speaker 1: then against Cleveland last week he had seventy three. Brian,
Speaker 1: what changed? What changed? And how they're using him or
Speaker 1: and how teams are defending him that took him from
Speaker 1: what he was doing those five or six weeks to
Speaker 1: those last time, asked Brian, I can tell you what changed.
Speaker 1: Washington is what changed? Washington's not gonna let you run
Speaker 1: the ball Minnesota like Minnesota's not some great rush defense. Right.
Speaker 1: What was the score of that game? I don't remember
Speaker 1: that titan Was it in Texas? You shouldn't you say Minnesota?
Speaker 1: Didn't watch Minnesota? Watched Miami? Is who I watched? Oh? Miami, Miami?
Speaker 1: Was it Miami or Minnesota? You're talking? Didn't you? Am?
Speaker 1: I A? I'm sorry, I might, I might? Yeah, they
Speaker 1: I watched, Yeah, Miami. They were down thirty to nothing
Speaker 1: at halfa. They tried to got him out of that. Yeah.
Speaker 1: We all of a sudden they're throwing the ball or
Speaker 1: they're trying to throw the ball with Alan and he
Speaker 1: they have they had a fumble that the Titan had
Speaker 1: a fumble, and then they had interceptions. Yeah, they had
Speaker 1: three interests. I mean it was it was twenty seven
Speaker 1: to nothing and then the Dolphins got a two minute
Speaker 1: field goal. They make it thirty to nothing at half.
Speaker 1: So at that point is it sounds like Pierce is
Speaker 1: not a guy that can catch out of the back
Speaker 1: ro while they don't use him like that. They tried
Speaker 1: to throw them screens and stuff like that, but they
Speaker 1: don't use him. They don't use him like that. I
Speaker 1: mean to me, like I say, the thing, the thing
Speaker 1: that was, like I say, I watched the I watched
Speaker 1: the Commander's game, and the Commanders they know Dolphins, no Cleveland.
Speaker 1: You know Cleveland can play run defense too, and so
Speaker 1: it's a little bit of a it's a little bit
Speaker 1: of a it was a problem for him, but I
Speaker 1: think a lot of it is because they're playing against
Speaker 1: defensive fronts. They just overwhelmed their offensive line. That's the
Speaker 1: issue there. I don't it's not the kid, Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: the fact that they can't block the Commanders. Not many
Speaker 1: people can block the Commanders when it comes to run
Speaker 1: in the ball. The Dolphins are pretty physical upfront, and
Speaker 1: you know, but that game just got completely out of hand,
Speaker 1: you know, so now they're in a throw mode that
Speaker 1: whole game. And then with Cleveland though, I felt like
Speaker 1: though that you know, Cleveland's front's okay, but it wasn't
Speaker 1: not like the other two that they were having to
Speaker 1: deal with. It's not the kid HiT's their offensive line
Speaker 1: canna block? And is that similar what they're gonna face.
Speaker 1: They're gonna have a ya, They're gonna if you overpower them,
Speaker 1: they they're gonna have a problem this week too. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is gonna be I don't remember a game going
Speaker 1: into it that that you're like, this is. This is
Speaker 1: absolutely going to be a huge blowout and I just
Speaker 1: don't see any way around it. And the main reason, no,
Speaker 1: I don't. I know that's what worries me though. I
Speaker 1: hate that. I hate when it gets to that point.
Speaker 1: Here's here's why, though, I think the Cowboys are way
Speaker 1: better than them on defense against Houston's offense. Tomorrow you're
Speaker 1: gonna find out. I think the Cowboys offense is way
Speaker 1: better than Houston's defense, and I think their special teams
Speaker 1: is playing at a really high level as well. I
Speaker 1: don't know what Houston's is, but it's I mean, they
Speaker 1: don't have a lot of weaknesses in there. If you punt,
Speaker 1: they can they have a punt returner. I mean if
Speaker 1: if they make you punt, I mean, if they make
Speaker 1: you punt, he's got a ton of practice probably um no,
Speaker 1: actually the kid return it's probably got a lot of practice.
Speaker 1: But no. I just think the Cowboys are playing. I mean,
Speaker 1: they're playing really well right now. They're focused. I think
Speaker 1: the coachings have has done a great job. They're getting
Speaker 1: more players back, and I just think that they're going
Speaker 1: to be better than Houston in every single way. I
Speaker 1: don't think this is going to be close at all.
Speaker 1: I'll be an anxious stone Friday if you give them
Speaker 1: a point when you when you do your no and honestly,
Speaker 1: everything you see and you when you compare these two
Speaker 1: teams says this is not going to be a matchup
Speaker 1: where Dallas should struggle at all. And especially when you
Speaker 1: start looking at what Dallas has done over the last
Speaker 1: three weeks. Yeah, you look at right now around the NFL,
Speaker 1: I think there is a love that's going on with
Speaker 1: the Cowboys because people look like that defense and now
Speaker 1: there's going forty plus like that, that's a problem. And
Speaker 1: so you match them up against the team it has
Speaker 1: one win through twelve games. Of course they're supposed to
Speaker 1: destroy them. What I know about the NFL is the
Speaker 1: moment that everybody agrees on one thing, no question. The
Speaker 1: opposite's gonna have the biggest point spread I've ever seen, though,
Speaker 1: what's the points? It was seventeen, it's now sixteen. See
Speaker 1: the NFL. That's crazy, that's crazy. It's down to sixteen
Speaker 1: because you know, I'll take that right, not like that. Yeah.
Speaker 1: The thing about the thing about that, if there's a
Speaker 1: game that the Cowboys that you should really probably worry
Speaker 1: about will be the Jacksonville game next week back well yeah,
Speaker 1: and that's but that's the thing about it. You should
Speaker 1: worry about it just because of Doug Peterson's familiarity with
Speaker 1: you know, with your team, but also when you look
Speaker 1: at the week before the Philadelphia game, you know that
Speaker 1: that could be one of those games you're kind of like, Okay,
Speaker 1: you smash the Texans and now you get ready for
Speaker 1: Jacksonville and you're like thinking, man, but next week we
Speaker 1: got a big showdown against and then on a short week. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and all these shows are talking about Cowboys, Eagles, Cowboys, Eagles,
Speaker 1: and I think the Cowboys are getting all this notorieties
Speaker 1: because they smashed the Cults, you know, on last week
Speaker 1: on you know, that whole thing. And then but the
Speaker 1: Eagles didn't. Eagles have to scrape by to beat the Colts,
Speaker 1: you know. So now it's like, well, you know, look
Speaker 1: what's going on here. The Eagles are just kind of
Speaker 1: scraping by and Cowboys are smashing. But I think the
Speaker 1: I think the Eagles had a signature to win last week,
Speaker 1: beat in Tennessee, yeah, because that's them. Yeah, So all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you're thinking, well, there's a possibility that
Speaker 1: the Titans are going to go in there and run
Speaker 1: the ball and be no, well, feelings matter, and and
Speaker 1: sorry Annie Eagles Colts. That was a big deal for him.
Speaker 1: It was a big deal for the Colts. They played
Speaker 1: that way. Things like that kind of factor in Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers probably didn't care about winning in some of the
Speaker 1: other game. He wasn't gonna lose to the Cowboys. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and so not to McCarthy, not to McCarthy, right, and
Speaker 1: so that we're really the Cowboys, Yeah, I mean it hasn't.
Speaker 1: He hasn't. Really, it's always been that star. He's been
Speaker 1: pretty good at whoever the coaches. But no, I just
Speaker 1: I just feel like sometimes we don't factor that in
Speaker 1: and that's where analytics will never come into feelings. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just sometimes things are just a little different. It's
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about this week. And again, he's good enough,
Speaker 1: just isn't good enough. But the feelings are there, don't
Speaker 1: don't doubt the feelings are No, No, I can see it.
Speaker 1: But this is this is why I always think about
Speaker 1: I always think of this one line. And one of
Speaker 1: my favorite movies is Rounders. It's a poker movie. I
Speaker 1: don't know if you've seen it, but he talks about
Speaker 1: you just chop the leg off, You chop at one
Speaker 1: of the leg off the table, and then after that
Speaker 1: you just lean on him. You just lean on them
Speaker 1: and they'll go down. That's what they did against the Colts.
Speaker 1: You know they it took a while to chop that
Speaker 1: leg off. But I mean, you just keep leaning and
Speaker 1: after sixty minutes, if I'll play why the way I play,
Speaker 1: you play your away for sixty minutes and when it's
Speaker 1: all said and done, you're gonna be on the ground.
Speaker 1: And that's pretty much the way I think it'll be.
Speaker 1: Houston might do everything they can do, but for sixty
Speaker 1: minutes of football they and I think that's the key.
Speaker 1: I think Houston's gonna throw everything at this game that
Speaker 1: may keep them around till halftime. At some point, maybe so,
Speaker 1: but at some point, but at some point, Dallas is
Speaker 1: just the better team. I mean, think about it like this,
Speaker 1: and this is what happened in Houston so much. There
Speaker 1: are so many Cowboys fans in Houston that now you've
Speaker 1: got brothers and cousins who are actually having this whole week.
Speaker 1: They're like, man, I'm tired of hearing about the Cowboys.
Speaker 1: I'm tired hearing about the cow They going to play then,
Speaker 1: So that's where rivalries happen is when it's the people
Speaker 1: you're dealing with. This is why college football in Texas,
Speaker 1: if you go to Texas, if you go to Texas,
Speaker 1: A and M, if you're Oklahoma, like it matters because
Speaker 1: you're around those people all the time. You got to
Speaker 1: listen to them. That's why in Houston this week, even
Speaker 1: though they know they're not the better team, they just
Speaker 1: want them check out of the Cowboys, and so it's
Speaker 1: gonna it matters. It matters in the city of Houston
Speaker 1: right now. I think for those Texans fans, I never
Speaker 1: forget Nick probably went back, pulled back all your articles.
Speaker 1: When the Cowboys and the Texans played in that inaugural
Speaker 1: we were there, that was I have never ever been
Speaker 1: more miserable. I mean, I've been in a lot of
Speaker 1: football game. That is the most miserable I have ever
Speaker 1: been after a football game. I mean seriously, I'm like,
Speaker 1: we're all gonna get fired. What was that final ten? Yeah,
Speaker 1: but it was got it was and it was. And
Speaker 1: the next year what happened there their media guide had
Speaker 1: on the cover of it was like, you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: like that was four and twelve team. The Texas were
Speaker 1: four and twelve team. That your Cowboys are five and twelve.
Speaker 1: So it wasn't like Cowboys were much better, but yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, yeah, but I remember, I remember that
Speaker 1: was so that was like the fourth year I was
Speaker 1: covering the team, and it was the first year I
Speaker 1: felt like we could really kind of get away with
Speaker 1: some some headlines, you know. And I'll never forget that
Speaker 1: headline because after that game, we put humiliated with spelled
Speaker 1: at hou like, yeah, I remember that. I remember. I
Speaker 1: just remember like like it's okay, and I think you
Speaker 1: were like they were, this is humiliating. It really was.
Speaker 1: The brand new franchise was the first game in the
Speaker 1: history of the franchise. You know, they got all the
Speaker 1: guys out there that I like, these picks that they
Speaker 1: got through the expansion draft, like, and you're you should
Speaker 1: go down there and you should win that game. And
Speaker 1: it was crazy. That was that. I remember sitting in
Speaker 1: that afterwards, just driving home and I'm like, why am
Speaker 1: I even here? Why? Well, I mean, I can't, I can't.
Speaker 1: I can't even beat an expansion team in that year.
Speaker 1: And you'll hear me say this every time. I'll always
Speaker 1: tell you what's the most important game on the schedule.
Speaker 1: I always think it's Week two. Week two, because whatever
Speaker 1: you just did in Week one, everyone in one game,
Speaker 1: either you build on it or you you bounce back
Speaker 1: from embarrassment or whatever it is. You come back and
Speaker 1: you always see a huge difference. And that was one
Speaker 1: of those years. The Cowboys came back in Week two.
Speaker 1: They played Tennessee, which was a good team. They'd been
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl a couple of years before that,
Speaker 1: Steve McNair and all that. They came back and they
Speaker 1: won that game. They won Quincy and Dexter Coakeley. They
Speaker 1: played really well. They won that game. Totally different feel
Speaker 1: for what you'd just seen in Week one. Feelings matter,
Speaker 1: you know, like we just talk about, and it mattered
Speaker 1: in that game. Yeah, I think, so let's take our
Speaker 1: final break. Will come back. I won't talk a little
Speaker 1: bit a little bit about Damon Clark and Anthony Barr,
Speaker 1: what they did this last week and what we're seeing
Speaker 1: there at the linebacker position. They will come back. Dallas

Speaker 1: every time I've got it's been like literally I got
Speaker 1: a phone call like, hey, tomorrow night, go not with
Speaker 1: my with my time. It wasn't it. Yeah, she's sitting
Speaker 1: that I've always set. I've set a row behind I've
Speaker 1: never set. Did you worry about your beverage the whole time?
Speaker 1: Did you worry about, like if it was a bottle
Speaker 1: of water, having the top on, like completely tight and
Speaker 1: way back behind you? What I worried about was or
Speaker 1: having your hand. I'm looking down to get my cheese
Speaker 1: just right on my chip, my nachos, and then all
Speaker 1: of a sudden player comes and now I'm and I
Speaker 1: gotta take an elbow to the nose or something like.
Speaker 1: That's what I worried about the whole I'll tell you what.
Speaker 1: The funniest one was that lady guy. I'm sorry the
Speaker 1: sounds terrible, but he got funny at all. The lady,
Speaker 1: the lady that was looking at her phone and took
Speaker 1: a pass right to the face. That's my point. I
Speaker 1: don't want to be that person. Yea. I sat like
Speaker 1: that in a baseball game one time. I was literally
Speaker 1: right next to the dugout and you have to pay
Speaker 1: attention to every pitch. And this is before the screen,
Speaker 1: you know, And so you're sitting there and like, pitch
Speaker 1: back to the pitcher, pop up. You know, You're like,
Speaker 1: you're watching the game. I used to go to baseball.
Speaker 1: I'm like, really not kind of paying attention. But when
Speaker 1: you sit that close to the field, you have to
Speaker 1: watch everything. It's exhausting. It is exhausting. Every year, you know,
Speaker 1: one weekend a year, I do this college basketball tournament
Speaker 1: where I say I've watched fourteen games in like four days,
Speaker 1: and I'm at the scorer's table and I have my
Speaker 1: computer and I'm writing. And there's been many times where
Speaker 1: the ball you just feel it, the ball you know,
Speaker 1: it's not so much the game, it's the pregame. It's
Speaker 1: the shoot around to start to tenas on the field
Speaker 1: around as I've happened all the time. So yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean knock going. Especially you get some of these guys
Speaker 1: that are throwing it rids. You know, you're standing down,
Speaker 1: they're doing it, and all of a sudden, you hit
Speaker 1: this guy in the head. Yeah. Point was an article
Speaker 1: you see the quarterbacks warming. Also, the ball goes off
Speaker 1: the top of your head and he hurt around and
Speaker 1: you're like, okay, you just tried to hit me with Yeah,
Speaker 1: but somebody got bumped. Because this was Sons versus Mavericks.
Speaker 1: Somebody was going to this. It was like, yeah, I
Speaker 1: watch a lot of MAVs games. Oh yeah, there's a
Speaker 1: lot again, grandkids, they're grandkids, grandkids got a lot. Ye.
Speaker 1: All right, before we end the show, I think we
Speaker 1: got a little enough time to quickly talk about this demon.
Speaker 1: Clark played the Snaps versus Indianapolis. Uh, Anthony Barr played
Speaker 1: thirty three percent. Are we starting to see and now
Speaker 1: he's back from injury, are we starting to see the
Speaker 1: transition to Deman Clark getting more opportunity than Anthony Barr
Speaker 1: or was this just a situation where you think they're
Speaker 1: easing Bar back in and within the next week or
Speaker 1: two you expected Bar will be getting the bulk of
Speaker 1: those cars those What I don't really know is he
Speaker 1: remember game got out of hand there too, So was
Speaker 1: it more fifty fifty? And then Clark played more as
Speaker 1: you're maybe they're easing Bar back into from injury. So yeah,
Speaker 1: Bar had a really good sack, you know, I mean
Speaker 1: they brought him on the pressure him and Wilson those times.
Speaker 1: I think what you're going to start to see is
Speaker 1: a split. I really really do. I think it's gonna
Speaker 1: be like maybe the certain down to distances you're thinking
Speaker 1: about putting Bar on the field because of the coverage.
Speaker 1: I think the one thing that Clark is lacking right
Speaker 1: now is the awareness, the awareness and coverage. Okay, I'm dropping,
Speaker 1: I'm too Oh wait, I'm too wide, ball comes unperneath. Okay,
Speaker 1: I should have had a better feel for turning and
Speaker 1: then taking the Pittman running inside. You know I didn't
Speaker 1: have that. I'm just dropping now, I'm way too wide
Speaker 1: and the ball goes inside of me, where maybe Bars
Speaker 1: a little bit more of a he's kind of playing
Speaker 1: out of the corner of his eye. He sees and
Speaker 1: he turns, he reacts, and then the ball's either defended
Speaker 1: or knocked down or tackled right there at the spot.
Speaker 1: Instead of being a twelve yard game with maybe Clark,
Speaker 1: it's a five yard our gain with barr in there.
Speaker 1: I do think you're going to see. I think this
Speaker 1: team is so willing to put guys in that they're
Speaker 1: willing to do it on the offensive line, They're willing
Speaker 1: to do it at lineback, or willing to do it
Speaker 1: at safety. You know, corner has been kind of positioned
Speaker 1: where they just kind of play with the guys, but
Speaker 1: we know they rotate the defensive line the way they did,
Speaker 1: so I think that you're going to see a continuency
Speaker 1: split with those guys. Yeah, I think so too, And
Speaker 1: we talked about it. We know that Clark is going
Speaker 1: to be your future. He's gonna be here. I think
Speaker 1: he might get to a point, but I don't know
Speaker 1: because of the where we're adding the season where it'll
Speaker 1: be like, Okay, now Clark gets this extensive amount versus
Speaker 1: bar so right now as he's easy and back in,
Speaker 1: I don't see one being distinctively better than the others.
Speaker 1: So I do agree with the split as of right now,
Speaker 1: until I mean, unless it gets to a point where
Speaker 1: now you're seeing more of for example, Clark and you're like, Okay,
Speaker 1: he needs to be out there a lot more. In
Speaker 1: that instance, you start switching at the percentage wise. But
Speaker 1: as of right now, I agree with Brian, just more
Speaker 1: of a split. All right, that's a rap. We appreciate you, guys, Jones.
Speaker 1: We'll be back tomorrow. We'll talk about the Houston defense
Speaker 1: versus the Dallas offense. Still then for Nick Eaman, Brian
Speaker 1: brought us Amber Garcia. I'm Derek Higelton. This has been
