It is Wednesday, December seventh, twenty twenty two, 0:00:42.320 --> 0:00:44.960 Season eighteen, episode number eighty five. Welcome to the latest 0:00:45.080 --> 0:00:47.960 edition of The Break Life from the s WBC Mortgage Studios. 0:00:48.400 --> 0:00:50.199 At the start, we're presented by mill of like the 0:00:50.240 --> 0:00:53.600 only beer of the Dallas Cowboys, and today we're gonna 0:00:53.600 --> 0:00:57.040 talk to Houston Texans offense versus the Dallas defense. I 0:00:57.120 --> 0:00:59.760 don't know how much time that's gonna take. My suspicion 0:00:59.800 --> 0:01:01.280 is it. Maybe we may be. We'll run through it 0:01:01.280 --> 0:01:03.720 pretty quickly. But we'll also get some calls from you guys, 0:01:03.720 --> 0:01:06.600 maybe some email or some I'm sorry, some tweets from 0:01:06.600 --> 0:01:08.720 you guys. I went all the way back to nineteen 0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:11.279 eighty seven. We got some Perier pigeon from you guys. 0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:16.160 So you guys, all of us eight eight eight eight 0:01:16.200 --> 0:01:18.440 five five two two nine seven again eight eight eight 0:01:18.520 --> 0:01:22.440 eight five five two two nine seven. Let's start with 0:01:22.560 --> 0:01:26.600 I think what's dominated the Cowboys I guess Cowboys world 0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:29.800 for the last a few days. Here. What are we 0:01:29.840 --> 0:01:32.600 hearing about Odell Beckham? Is there anything new at this point? 0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:34.759 Where is he and what are we expecting to happen? 0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:37.160 What are we hearing? I don't know where he is, 0:01:37.200 --> 0:01:39.880 but he did lead a Zona Miami one of those 0:01:39.880 --> 0:01:42.919 plays did leave. Yeah, okay, I think as it stands 0:01:43.000 --> 0:01:46.560 right now, everything that we've been told for what both 0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:49.680 sides want, this doesn't look to work out right now 0:01:49.880 --> 0:01:53.480 because they want Odell to play this year, doesn't like 0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:55.640 his knee is ready to do that. You're gonna have 0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:57.640 to make a deep, deep run in the playoffs, something 0:01:57.680 --> 0:01:59.840 that hasn't been done in thirty years. So it's hard 0:01:59.840 --> 0:02:04.080 to just foresee that that happening. So unless Odell's price 0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:08.640 comes down to something that's that makes sense for next 0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:11.000 year and that's something that the the Cowboys want to pursue, 0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:14.640 this just doesn't seem like the timing fits. Yeah, it's 0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:18.560 I think what we've learned is the Cowboys were going 0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:21.240 to be super aggressive and trying to get this done. 0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:24.000 And they were they were kind of ramping this thing 0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:27.639 up in a way of Okay, let's let's think about this, Okay, 0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:29.560 let's do it. You know, everybody was kind of rallying, 0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:32.080 they were recruiting, and then they got to the point 0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:35.560 where they got to see the knee. And then when 0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:38.360 that happened, then all of a sudden, the realization set in. 0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:41.200 It's like, okay, we did all we could to make 0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:43.200 the guy feel love. What you absolutely have to do 0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:46.440 with this guy. You absolutely have to recruit him. And 0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:49.680 you know, so they got to a point where they 0:02:49.680 --> 0:02:51.760 got the knee, looked at did they get their workout 0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:53.959 and no, But did they get to pull and push 0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:56.160 and have an idea and ask him a bunch of 0:02:56.240 --> 0:02:59.079 questions and ask him how the rehab's been and all that. 0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:02.239 You know, he sat there and answered a bunch of 0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:05.480 questions about it. And but it comes to the realization that, 0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:08.040 you know, you're probably not going to be ready until 0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:10.360 the playoffs. You could talk about wanting to be in 0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:13.520 the playoffs and all that, but there's also the realization 0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:16.440 that this thing might not be well enough until next year, 0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:19.800 until it really and I think that's where the Cowboys 0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:22.320 are right now. And I know Nick is you guys 0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:24.680 have done a great job on Dallas Cowboys dot com, 0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:27.560 you know, talking about where the deal you know, is 0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:30.359 it more about can they get something done this year? 0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:32.240 They want to do Cowboys want to do something now. 0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:35.400 And you know he's kind of like, well, I want 0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:38.040 some security for longer term, and I don't think the 0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:40.640 Cowboys are ready for that. And I like what Nick 0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:42.400 saying about the timing. I heard him on one oh 0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:44.680 five three this morning talking about that, and I think 0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:47.680 the timing is the right word for this. It's just 0:03:48.440 --> 0:03:50.760 it's just not good right now for where he is 0:03:50.760 --> 0:03:53.840 physically and what the Cowboys are willing to do. I 0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:57.960 think that had this been happening a few weeks ago, 0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:01.960 it would have been very, very frustrating and upsetting to 0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:05.320 hear this when you're like, we absolutely need a wide 0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:08.880 receiver to come in here and help this team and 0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:13.680 elevate it to another level. Now I feel that I'm okay, 0:04:13.760 --> 0:04:17.400 I'm like, okay, it sucks that it doesn't seem that 0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:19.479 it's going to be working out, at least for this year, 0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:23.320 but it feels like the wide receivers that we've got 0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:26.680 the step that they've taken forward. It seems to be 0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:30.480 now where maybe it's enough for this team. And also 0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:34.279 I saw somebody tweeting a Cowboy's Break mentioning why is 0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:37.159 nobody talking about James Washington? And here's another one that 0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:40.480 his window has been activated and we're not really And 0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:44.240 I think the reason is because I don't think most 0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:48.800 of us expect him to be a huge difference maker 0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:51.760 once he comes in. We might be wrong, or I 0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:55.240 might be wrong. He might show some things, but I 0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:57.840 think as it stands right now, and I don't know 0:04:57.880 --> 0:05:00.960 about you guys, I feel that we're okay and we 0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:03.800 can make it happen with the guys that we had. Yeah, 0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:07.080 James Washington needs to be better than Noah Brown, and 0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:09.360 right now I'm not sure that he is. Well that's yeah, 0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:10.880 that's what you have to get him out on the 0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:13.600 field and work with him. Yeah, And I you know, 0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:15.640 you've you've got a couple of roster moves. You're playing 0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:18.680 light right now, You're down one player. You know, you've 0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:21.599 been playing with fifty two players you've got. You know 0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:24.360 you're gonna you're gonna put Brown on injured reserver or 0:05:24.560 --> 0:05:26.200 he's gonna be done for the season, so that they'll 0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:29.479 give you another spot. Now. Now, the next options for 0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:33.200 a front office is activate Washington and then get Tyrant 0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:35.640 Smith on those your next two moves that you're going 0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:37.800 to make. And you know, I've kind of felt like 0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:41.719 that the Beckham Washington was kind of tied together, and 0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:44.960 maybe it really wasn't, but I just didn't feel like 0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:47.040 they wanted to make two moves at wide receiver. I 0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:50.520 didn't feel like they wanted to add Beckham and Washington 0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:52.360 and then have to kind of figure I think they 0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:54.920 really want to see Tolbert continue to play or at 0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:58.240 least be active and get those opportunities, you know. More 0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:02.080 so that's the future of your team, not probably Washington 0:06:02.240 --> 0:06:04.920 or Beckham, Ernie this guy. That's that's your future going 0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:06.560 forward right there. Yeah, I don't. I don't think it 0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:07.880 has to be better than no Brown. I think it 0:06:07.880 --> 0:06:09.760 has to be better than Tilbert. I think Noah Brown 0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:12.840 moves into a role with Joseph now and not playing 0:06:12.880 --> 0:06:16.520 as much on special teams. Um. I think that that 0:06:16.800 --> 0:06:19.240 you know, Tilbert runs around out there. I think Washington 0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:21.360 can be better than that. From the sounds of things 0:06:21.400 --> 0:06:23.960 talking to some people. Uh, he's done a pretty nice 0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:26.880 job in practice so far, James Washington. So yeah, we're 0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:29.240 all looking to see him. Everyone's been talking about it 0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:32.159 for a while. Uh you know, I I think he'll 0:06:32.240 --> 0:06:35.440 and I think he is. He's obviously better than Odell 0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:39.080 Beckham right now because Odell Beckham can't play now, you know, 0:06:39.240 --> 0:06:41.839 when they're both at their best. Of course. That that's 0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:44.440 what makes this thing so exciting about Odell. And let's 0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:46.760 go back to I don't know who it was tweeted 0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:49.360 this thing out, but a month ago, three weeks ago, 0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:53.160 when they said, you know, Odell has been cleared okay 0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:56.599 by who? Like, that's what changed everything, because when people 0:06:56.800 --> 0:06:58.920 got it in their mind that Odell was healthy and 0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:01.719 ready to play, that's when it was like this thing 0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:04.920 got some legs when I never should. Well that was that. 0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:07.479 That goes back to Jay Glazer. That goes back to 0:07:07.600 --> 0:07:09.600 like in the mid the beginning of November and like 0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:13.520 and he went on Fox pregame show and in his 0:07:14.040 --> 0:07:16.960 you know, game notes, he was talking about Odell Beckham, 0:07:16.960 --> 0:07:19.240 I mean, and it got a lot of push, you know, 0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:22.160 and then that's when everybody started to get excited, Like Okay, 0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:24.520 like Amber was talking about the Cowboys were kind of 0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:26.720 in that little bit of a lull at wide receiver 0:07:27.200 --> 0:07:29.240 and like, man, you need a wide receiver. Well here 0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:32.600 we go that kind of thing. So, yeah, it was Glazer, 0:07:32.920 --> 0:07:34.600 and then all of a sudden, the other guys like 0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:36.840 the Ian Rappaports and others were like, well, well, well 0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:39.280 wait a minute, I don't think that. Then we started 0:07:39.280 --> 0:07:41.440 to hear the first of December, you know, and then 0:07:41.480 --> 0:07:44.320 it turned into okay, well now he's going to take visits. 0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:47.720 Well we're almost to the middle of December now, you know, 0:07:47.840 --> 0:07:50.040 and you're kind of like thinking, he's still trying to 0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:53.560 make a decision. So this thing has gone like six 0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:58.360 weeks since Jay Glazer first went on Fox and told 0:07:58.440 --> 0:08:02.119 the world that Odell Beckham had been cleared for medical stuff. 0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:05.280 And to Nick's point, you know that every trainer and 0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:07.200 doctor that I talked to around the league was like, 0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:10.720 by who who is cleared by? And I feel like 0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:14.320 we would have had seen on social media Odell putting 0:08:14.320 --> 0:08:20.080 out videos of you know, working out, cutting doing some routes, 0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:22.840 or doing some running of some sort, which I feel 0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:26.920 that almost every football player that's working under rehabbing, coming 0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:30.800 back and trying to show what, you know, how they're 0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:33.719 improving and progressing. They start putting out videos like that, 0:08:33.800 --> 0:08:37.040 and that's one that we haven't seen at all. And 0:08:38.040 --> 0:08:40.200 because I think that, Yeah, I think, I think he 0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:42.240 just ran out of time on this one. Yeah, I 0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:44.240 really do. Let me ask this question, and Amber, you 0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:46.160 brought this up. I think it's an interesting point. You say, 0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:48.680 right now you think, as opposed a few months ago 0:08:48.760 --> 0:08:50.840 or a few weeks ago, you think the wide receivers 0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:55.680 are good enough. Does the loss of Anthony Brown change 0:08:55.720 --> 0:08:57.920 that a bit? And what I mean by that is, 0:08:58.320 --> 0:09:00.560 are you going to find yourself in a situation where 0:09:00.679 --> 0:09:02.600 this defense, you've been able to count on this defense 0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:06.320 throughout this year, you get a little you know, a 0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:08.880 guy over your cornerback that maybe gives up a little 0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:11.560 bit more. Are you now in a situation where you 0:09:11.600 --> 0:09:14.160 need a little more scoring, you need a little bit 0:09:14.160 --> 0:09:16.000 more from your offense. And let's be honest, and this 0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:18.120 has been one of your big things, Zamber. They don't 0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:21.280 start games, well, they have not started game as well. Right, So, 0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:24.720 with all those things being considered, do you think that 0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:26.880 maybe that factors in the loss of Anthony Brown. Does 0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:29.280 that factor in on, Hey, we might need more firepower 0:09:29.280 --> 0:09:31.400 on this offense in order to make this team really 0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:33.080 be able to go, especially when we start playing better 0:09:33.080 --> 0:09:38.480 teams in the playoffs. I think that I think what 0:09:38.520 --> 0:09:42.640 the Cowboys offense is currently doing would be enough because 0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:44.959 what they're doing with the running game, plus how the 0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:48.240 receivers are playing, I think it's enough for them to 0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:51.600 keep up with scoring points. The biggest thing is that 0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:54.160 how long does it take for them to move the 0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:57.600 chains and get the rhythm going for a game. That's 0:09:57.640 --> 0:10:01.280 the biggest aspect of it. But does become concerning and 0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:04.720 we've we've seen it because even with Anthony Brown in 0:10:04.760 --> 0:10:09.280 the game, I mean I like to defend him from 0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:12.480 time to time, but it had become it had gotten 0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:15.120 to a point where you can't really defend it anymore. 0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:18.120 And he had been having a bad season and teams 0:10:18.120 --> 0:10:21.280 were attacking him, and like Nick and Brian said yesterday, 0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:24.480 Trevor Days is just like, you know, give me something 0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:28.679 because nothing's coming my way. So it does bring up 0:10:28.720 --> 0:10:31.520 some concerns for sure, But I do think that the 0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:35.160 offense can be enough to keep up and compete. Has 0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:37.800 Anthony Brown really hurts like I know, it seems like 0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:40.319 to me you can count on basically one player game 0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:42.520 that he's gonna give up. Yeah, there are other times 0:10:42.520 --> 0:10:45.120 they are going down field and it doesn't necessarily connect. 0:10:45.200 --> 0:10:48.080 So is he really is he really hurting you? And 0:10:49.080 --> 0:10:51.959 is Kelvin Joseph gonna now give up two or three 0:10:51.960 --> 0:10:54.360 of those plays or is it a situation where if 0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:56.240 he only gives up one then you're still fine. You're 0:10:56.240 --> 0:10:58.520 getting exactly what you were getting. Can I circle back 0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:02.720 to your question to know about firepower? The general manager 0:11:02.800 --> 0:11:06.840 told us this in Tampa week that you will get 0:11:07.000 --> 0:11:10.880 Tyrant Smith back during the meat of the run. That's 0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:15.400 your answer for firepower. That it's not it's offense. It's 0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:19.600 not receivers or skill. It's a Hall of Fame left tackle. 0:11:19.679 --> 0:11:23.240 That's that's that's to me. If you want to say, 0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:26.120 I can add O'Dell Beckham now to help me, But 0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:29.040 what can I add? I could add Tyrand Smith to 0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:31.040 the lineup, you know, a Hall of and we'll see 0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:34.000 if he plays at that level that we've all accustomed to. 0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:37.880 So that's the move offensively that I'm looking for now. 0:11:38.240 --> 0:11:40.079 You know, I don't think I don't have a shot 0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:42.560 at Odell Beckham for this year. So now I'm looking 0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:46.040 at can tyrand Smith be that guy? And can moving 0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:49.040 some guys around make my running game even better, make 0:11:49.080 --> 0:11:53.360 my pass protection even better, give my quarterback better opportunity 0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:56.520 to find the better wide receivers and the young tight 0:11:56.679 --> 0:11:59.720 ends and you know the Whackamo Brothers, you know, that's 0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:03.160 that's that's you know they you know, work with those guys. 0:12:03.280 --> 0:12:04.920 That's kind of how I kind of feel like this 0:12:05.000 --> 0:12:06.920 is going to where you're going to get. Now. The 0:12:07.040 --> 0:12:10.400 thing about with Anthony Brown and stuff like that, yeah, 0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:13.400 that that The thing that's disappointing is that you know, 0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:16.319 we've we've seen him play at a much higher level. 0:12:16.800 --> 0:12:20.680 And the thing that the concern of me now is 0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:24.760 I'm going to take a chance with Joseph because this 0:12:24.880 --> 0:12:27.760 coaching staff has proven, the scouts have proven to me 0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:30.680 that when they add players or you know, there's a 0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:33.920 reason they drafted Kelvin Joseph in the second round. Now 0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:35.920 it might be a miss they have they have a 0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:38.600 history of second round missus. They've also have a history 0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:41.520 of some second round yes, absolutely too. So I am 0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:45.280 going to trust that dan Quinn realizes the strength of 0:12:45.280 --> 0:12:47.920 that kid playing out there, and maybe he's not going 0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:50.360 to put him out there by himself. You know, maybe 0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:52.360 he's gonna like, Okay, I got to protect him a 0:12:52.360 --> 0:12:54.839 little bit. Maybe I play a little bit more zone 0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:56.960 where he can drive on balls, or maybe I played 0:12:57.000 --> 0:12:59.400 to his strengths where I know he's going to be physical. 0:12:59.679 --> 0:13:02.439 But I worry about him holding at the line of scrimmage. 0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:05.120 I worry about him being very handy. I worry about 0:13:05.160 --> 0:13:07.280 him maybe playing some depth and all of a sudden 0:13:07.280 --> 0:13:09.839 just grabbing the guy because he didn't read the route 0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:13.360 the right way. I trust dan Quinn is going to 0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:16.720 do what he has to do to protect that kid. 0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:19.920 Will it be enough? The next few games will tell 0:13:19.960 --> 0:13:22.200 you that. And you know you do have options though, 0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:25.920 with Bland and some others there. You know, we'll see 0:13:26.040 --> 0:13:28.520 if they can somebody off the practice squad can help. 0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:32.160 But that's that's I mean, Dean Sanders ain't walking through 0:13:32.200 --> 0:13:34.520 that door, you know, as they used to say, I mean, 0:13:34.720 --> 0:13:37.240 he ain't walking through You got to kind of sending 0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:41.280 us all to the transfer portals. I like his honesty though, 0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:44.360 I love it. I love it. Yeah, you're not You're 0:13:44.360 --> 0:13:46.319 not one and ten for a reason. You know, I've 0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:49.880 seen it usually are Yeah. Yeah, you guys are not 0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:51.760 going to get me fired. Honestly, there are more college 0:13:51.760 --> 0:13:56.560 programs probably got to do that. Yeah, tell him, you're 0:13:56.559 --> 0:13:59.240 not entitled anything. Yeah, but anyway, but no, that's the 0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:02.680 that's my thought. I'm gonna trust it. Dan Quinn and 0:14:02.800 --> 0:14:06.800 Joe Witt and and and Al Harris are going to 0:14:07.040 --> 0:14:09.920 have this kid ready to play. Will it be good 0:14:10.000 --> 0:14:12.959 enough again? Time will tell. All right, let's let's take 0:14:12.960 --> 0:14:16.640 our first. Ahead's gonna say real quick, that's like I 0:14:16.800 --> 0:14:20.560 want to believe. But even like the greatest like it. 0:14:21.520 --> 0:14:25.480 You know, look at people you like Michael Jackson, Beyonce, 0:14:26.400 --> 0:14:29.840 but Bunny. You know, they put out most of the 0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:33.080 songs you like and love, but then there's that one 0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:35.200 song though You're like, what the heck like this is? 0:14:35.760 --> 0:14:38.240 I'm not feeling this one. So I didn't pit Bull 0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:41.240 that way for you too. I'm not a really fan 0:14:41.280 --> 0:14:44.120 of Pip. She let him go after bad Bunny came over. Okay, 0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:49.160 I like as a person and his charisma. I don't 0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:53.480 like his musically anyways. My point is there's always a 0:14:54.560 --> 0:14:57.920 there can be a miss, And I'm not saying I 0:14:58.000 --> 0:15:00.160 want to believe, and let's see what happens in the 0:15:00.200 --> 0:15:04.400 next few weeks. But I think, I mean, Kelvin might 0:15:04.480 --> 0:15:06.280 be a miss for the Kyle wo We don't know. 0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:09.400 We'll see how he handles this stretch and what happens 0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:12.480 next year, but that could be a possibility too. Even 0:15:12.520 --> 0:15:15.360 though I highly highly trust dan Quinn and his talent 0:15:15.440 --> 0:15:17.480 and what he can do and develop that the only 0:15:17.480 --> 0:15:20.000 reason I do that is they've they've bought my trust, 0:15:20.160 --> 0:15:22.920 They've earned it. They they've absolutely earned my trust. So 0:15:23.120 --> 0:15:25.760 I was last year, I was praying this defense would 0:15:25.760 --> 0:15:27.720 be middle of the road, and they led the league 0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:30.160 in turnovers, and then they figured out, Oh, by the way, 0:15:30.200 --> 0:15:33.520 this more Michael Michael Parsons, guy who if you watch 0:15:33.600 --> 0:15:35.960 Penn State tape, they never played him as a rush end. 0:15:36.400 --> 0:15:38.440 Dan Quinn said, what if we put this kid in? 0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:40.120 What do you think? Well, next thing, you know, he's 0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:42.920 double digit sack guy every year. And he also said 0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:45.600 in the offseason, apparently he told some people that the 0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:48.400 guys I'm most excited about was Donovan Wilson. He said 0:15:48.440 --> 0:15:50.360 he there are some things with Donovan Wilson that we 0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:53.120 can do to be really creative on defense, and Donovan 0:15:53.160 --> 0:15:56.200 Wilson is tied with you know, with Layton Vanderesh and 0:15:56.360 --> 0:15:59.200 tackles right now on the team. Layton Vanderesh a guy 0:15:59.240 --> 0:16:01.920 that I thought he was going to Pittsburgh and then 0:16:02.040 --> 0:16:04.480 Steelers signed someone else and he came back to Dallas. 0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:07.480 But you know, ironically about second round picks that the 0:16:07.600 --> 0:16:10.400 Cowboys have three of them right now that they're about 0:16:10.400 --> 0:16:13.400 to add to this, not add to the team, but 0:16:13.600 --> 0:16:17.240 add to either the mix. I would say, Kelvin Joseph 0:16:17.520 --> 0:16:19.760 second round pick. So let's see what they you know, 0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:22.560 what they've got. James Washington was the second round pick 0:16:22.560 --> 0:16:25.720 of the Steelers. McKenzie Alexander, who's expected to be on 0:16:25.760 --> 0:16:28.400 the practice squad, second round pick of the Vikings. I 0:16:28.400 --> 0:16:32.240 believe same draft as Jalen Smith. You know, Dak that draft, 0:16:32.880 --> 0:16:35.040 but at some point somebody thought you could play, you 0:16:35.080 --> 0:16:37.160 could play at a high level. And so you know, 0:16:37.200 --> 0:16:39.800 we'll see these these guys right there are now kind 0:16:39.800 --> 0:16:41.800 of in the mix here. All right, we're gonna take 0:16:41.840 --> 0:16:43.520 our first break. We're gonna come back. We'll talk about 0:16:43.520 --> 0:16:46.280 the Houston offense versus Dallas defense.

I want to preface this by saying, 0:19:19.840 --> 0:19:23.479 before we start talking about Hugh, was this Houston team, 0:19:23.040 --> 0:19:26.000 UM just know this week you're from there? No? No No, no, 0:19:26.160 --> 0:19:28.040 well that's actually where I was going a little bit. 0:19:28.320 --> 0:19:30.840 But he was wishing that would come back. I really do. 0:19:30.880 --> 0:19:33.000 I really do wish the Oilers still around. But one 0:19:33.000 --> 0:19:35.359 thing to note here is this is gonna be one 0:19:35.359 --> 0:19:39.480 of those weeks where for Dallas fans this game doesn't 0:19:39.480 --> 0:19:42.199 even rate, like it's not really a game you're probably 0:19:42.280 --> 0:19:45.160 that excited about. Will care much about talking about rust 0:19:45.200 --> 0:19:47.880 and games? I will. I will put money on it 0:19:48.440 --> 0:19:51.080 that in the city of Houston, at least in the 0:19:51.080 --> 0:19:54.120 Texans building. Yeah, they are looking at this as if 0:19:54.160 --> 0:19:56.239 we don't win any other game this year, and by 0:19:56.280 --> 0:19:58.200 the way, they've only won one other game this year. 0:19:58.840 --> 0:20:01.720 This is the game that the want to win really really, 0:20:01.720 --> 0:20:04.280 really bad. You see it in I know, you see 0:20:04.320 --> 0:20:06.560 it in college, you see it sometimes in the pros. 0:20:07.000 --> 0:20:10.280 But there are times sometimes where your matchup is for 0:20:10.359 --> 0:20:13.679 one team more about we have to beat this team, 0:20:14.320 --> 0:20:17.000 and sometimes matching that energy can be a problem. So 0:20:17.000 --> 0:20:19.080
