I promise we're gonna hit some Dallas 22 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 1: Cowboys football today. I do, but I wouldn't be able 23 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 1: to go the rest of the show thinking about tomorrow. 24 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 1: Hamlin correct and talking about what happened last night on 25 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: Monday Night Football. If if you haven't seen it yet, 26 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 1: you may maybe went to bed early and you're just 27 00:01:55,600 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 1: catching us live. But Damar Hamlin, Bill's safety collapsed in 28 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 1: the middle of their game last night against the Cincinnati 29 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: Bengal Bengals, and it was really it was a tough scene. 30 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 1: It was an impossible situation, a tough scene to take in. 31 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 1: And our thoughts and prayers and I know that's a cliche, 32 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 1: but that's exactly what's happening, because there's nothing I'm thinking 33 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 1: about outside of Damar Hamlin. I've said plenty of prayers 34 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,080 Speaker 1: over the last couple of days or I mean, I 35 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 1: guess hours twenty four hours or so, just trying to 36 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 1: really put it all together what happened on Monday Night football, 37 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:34,360 Speaker 1: because it was surreal in the worst type of way, 38 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 1: and I wanted to talk about it a little bit 39 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 1: here because it kind of changes the way you look 40 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 1: at the game of football a little bit. Isaiah, and 41 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: I want to start with you just from a player's standpoint, 42 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: because it is a brotherhood when you play this football game, 43 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 1: at the game of football in general, and when something 44 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 1: like that happens to one of your brothers, it hits 45 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 1: you close to the heart. Yeah, I mean, it's family, right, 46 00:02:54,800 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 1: So it sucks because you understand and what's at stake 47 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,799 Speaker 1: when you play the game of football, you truly do. 48 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 1: What took place last night is the worst case scenario 49 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: in terms of what you what You understand that you're 50 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:20,800 Speaker 1: signing up for the potential. We've seen a bunch of 51 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,920 Speaker 1: traumatic injuries. We've seen spinal cord injuries, We've seen next 52 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 1: We've seen ankles snap, legs broken. You know, you're thinking 53 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,360 Speaker 1: about Dack's legs sticking out. I mean, you see all 54 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,640 Speaker 1: these things and they come, they grab a guy, they 55 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: put them on a cart, drive them off the field, 56 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: and you get back to football, right, and then something 57 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 1: happens like it happened last night, and you understand how 58 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 1: severe the situation was, You understand the weight of the 59 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 1: situation you and you just football is not important at 60 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 1: that point, it really just really isn't important, and all 61 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 1: you care about at that moment is that that individual 62 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 1: is going to make it first of all, UM, that 63 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: the individual's family is there to support him, and that 64 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 1: he comes out the other side. And I'm very pleased 65 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: with the NFL's response to that situation. I know they 66 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:26,160 Speaker 1: were caught in a bad, bad place, but they acknowledge 67 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 1: what was most important. And I'm I'm prayerful just like 68 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 1: you are. I know, I was watching the game with 69 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: my kids. UM My kids were prayer for Everybody is 70 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 1: praying for him and UM providing whatever support that we 71 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 1: can in this In this helpless situation that we're all in, 72 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 1: we all want to do what we can to help 73 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 1: this man. And I think the only thing we can 74 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: do is pray for him, Lynn support and UM and 75 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 1: and just hope that he that he comes out of 76 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: this um alive and that and that he's able to 77 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: overcome this UM this situation. But nothing about this is 78 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 1: it's positive at all. You know, It's it's a situation 79 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 1: where I was literally sick to my stomach when I 80 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 1: hadn't been And as I says, whether you have played 81 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 1: the sport at any level, and or you cover the sport, 82 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 1: you know the inherent risk. Now, thankfully, the worst case 83 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: scenario is so often avoided that it kind of numbs 84 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 1: us to the fact that it's always hovering. It's always 85 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 1: hovering there with the possibility of happening. And I like 86 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 1: in last night as far as being rattled to my 87 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:50,160 Speaker 1: very spirit, that was how I felt when Ryan Chesier's 88 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,160 Speaker 1: hit happened and Chesio went down and you saw the 89 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: hidden and the world stops, and you're instantly reminded if 90 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,280 Speaker 1: for those that often and forget, you're instantly reminded that 91 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:06,359 Speaker 1: these are human beings on this field, sacrificing themselves and 92 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 1: literally literally risking their lives for entertainment and to live 93 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,839 Speaker 1: out their dreams, something they've been working for and toward 94 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:21,720 Speaker 1: their whole lives. But these men have families that are 95 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: hoping they come home after the game and hold in 96 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,719 Speaker 1: one piece. So we have the endless conversation, justifiably so 97 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 1: about you know, concussions. And I'm on the record saying 98 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 1: that I hope that a guy like to it considers 99 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: retirement for quality of life reasons, But how rare is 100 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,919 Speaker 1: it for And now that we have this confirmed, we 101 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,359 Speaker 1: can go ahead and say the Buffalo Bills Organization confirmed 102 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 1: that Hamlin's heart he went in the cardiac arrest after 103 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 1: his hit on T. Higgins, and keep T. Higgins in 104 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 1: your prayers as well, because mental health. Mental health matters, 105 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 1: and we don't want him blaming himself for that. It 106 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,599 Speaker 1: was not his fault. It's it's just the sport. But 107 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 1: to see a guy stand up after a hit and 108 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 1: going to cardiac arrest meaning his heart stopped and he 109 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 1: drops in real time and it requires several minutes or 110 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 1: CPR to resuscitate him. Ambulance comes onto the field, has 111 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 1: to you know, they wait for his mother so that 112 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 1: they can run. And your praying and your praying and 113 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 1: your praying, but there's this lump in the back of 114 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 1: your throat that you don't want to even speak it, 115 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 1: but you're thinking it. So to get news overnight, I 116 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 1: had an impossible time sleeping less. Ye I don't know 117 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: what time I dozed off, but I dozed off thinking 118 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 1: about DeMar Hamlin. The first thing I did when I 119 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 1: woke up, when my eyes opened, I reached for my phone. 120 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 1: I looked forward DeMar Hamlin update and that's going to 121 00:07:56,120 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: carry until we hear that he's out of the woods, 122 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 1: his vitals are stable, he sedated while they run tests. 123 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 1: I've got the statement right here. This is from the 124 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. Damar Hamlin suffered to cardiac arrest following following 125 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 1: a hit in our game versus the Bengals. His heartbeat 126 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 1: was restored on the field and he was transferred to 127 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 1: the UC Medical Center for further testing and treatment. He 128 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 1: is currently sedated and listed in critical condition. That's the 129 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 1: most recent update as of twelve forty eight am Central Time. 130 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 1: So it goes back to what you were saying about, 131 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 1: until you hear that he's out of the woods and 132 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 1: he's gonna make it. On the other side of this, 133 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 1: this is the story. I mean, this is what you've 134 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,680 Speaker 1: got as a football family to talk about, and we 135 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: don't want to hear about, you know, when the game 136 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 1: is going to resume, that's not what we want to hear. 137 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 1: We want until that point when it comes to the NFL, 138 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:50,679 Speaker 1: you know. Huge shouts out to Zach Taylor, Sean McDermott, 139 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,319 Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengals as a team, as a fan base, 140 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,560 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills as a team organization, as a fan base, 141 00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:01,200 Speaker 1: how everyone handled this, the training staff, the medical professionals 142 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 1: who were on site, trained and ready for the currency 143 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 1: like this, and if not for them, we are already 144 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 1: talking about the worst case scenario for DeMar Hamlin. So 145 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 1: keep everyone in your prayers, everyone involved in the situation, 146 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 1: and I cannot give enough praise to those medical professionals 147 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 1: and those those team trainers who rush to the spot 148 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 1: and really you know, and immediately started CPR, realized the 149 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 1: severity of what was going on and quite likely save 150 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,559 Speaker 1: the life of Damar Hamlin. But until he is out 151 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,560 Speaker 1: of the woods, continue your prayers and positive thoughts to 152 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 1: his family, particularly his mother as a parent, I can't 153 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 1: even fathom. I can't even imagine it. So prayers to everyone. 154 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 1: But my final thought on the matter right now, as 155 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:50,560 Speaker 1: I continue to pray for Damar going forward, is that, 156 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, football is a sport. It's a game cheerful, 157 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,679 Speaker 1: who you cheer for, cheer against, who you want to 158 00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 1: cheer against. That's all part of it. It's all part 159 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 1: of the fun. But always keep in mind, and this 160 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 1: is why you don't wish injury players or anything like that. 161 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:09,560 Speaker 1: These are human beings with families and loved ones, And 162 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 1: even if they didn't have families and loved ones, the 163 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 1: fact that they are a human being demands that you 164 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 1: empathize with what they are risking. For you to be 165 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 1: entertained from your couch, from your sports bar on a 166 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:25,320 Speaker 1: weekly basis, give them that amount of respect. If nothing knows, 167 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 1: seeing severe injury like this isn't new in sports. It's 168 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 1: happened for hundreds of years that people have lost their 169 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,840 Speaker 1: life playing the sport that they love. The thing that's 170 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 1: most jarring about this one, specifically, is that it was 171 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 1: so routine. It wasn't one of those hits that lit 172 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:51,599 Speaker 1: up the scoreboard. It wasn't a hit that would constitute 173 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 1: a penalty flag or constitute an ejection or target a 174 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:59,080 Speaker 1: targeting exactly, nothing of that sort. This was a routine 175 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 1: play that led to this result. So, I mean, I'm 176 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: looking at it from not only the Bills standpoint, the 177 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,559 Speaker 1: Bengal standpoint, from those that were on the field, but 178 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 1: what about across the hallway what happens now from a 179 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 1: mental health standpoint, Because that's been a huge, huge talking 180 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 1: point over the last few years, and I'm so thankful 181 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 1: that it has become a topic of conversation. But now 182 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 1: your thought process changes because you're not only going to 183 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 1: battle with your brothers and you're you're out on the 184 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 1: field and you're you're playing the sport that you love. 185 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 1: But you expect a broken ankle every once in a while. 186 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 1: You expect it torn acl It's gonna happen. It's the 187 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 1: game of football. But you don't expect this, Isaiah. So 188 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 1: how does this change the way that the game has 189 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:48,680 Speaker 1: looked at from a players standpoint, a fan standpoint, Coaches, 190 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 1: training staff by the way well said on your side 191 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 1: of talking about the uh the training staffs and the 192 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 1: way they jumped on top of that, medical professionals will 193 00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,560 Speaker 1: continue to amaze me, yes, because there's there's been situations 194 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 1: in my own life that it's come into play and 195 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 1: it's saved the lives of loved ones around me. Unbelievable 196 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,680 Speaker 1: what medical professionals are able to do. And the ones 197 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: that are in house in the NFL and the Dallas 198 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 1: Cowboys and of course the Buffalo Bills last night, Cincinnati 199 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,959 Speaker 1: Bengals last night, still amazing. But how do you change 200 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 1: your mindset moving forward? Because the Cowboys have a day 201 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 1: off today, But then tomorrow they're right back on the 202 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 1: practice field. How do you strap it up and get 203 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 1: back after it after something like that. I don't know, 204 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: I really, I really don't know. UM in regards to 205 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 1: the the health and the mental health, and it's it's 206 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: it's it's gonna be ongoing. UM right on the heels 207 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 1: of the situation last night with Damar. You know, I 208 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,320 Speaker 1: opened my phone this morning to find out that one 209 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 1: of my teammates from Jacksonville passed away because of a 210 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 1: heart attack.

Your job was not going to 225 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,439 Speaker 1: get done last night. Following that, but um, going forward, 226 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,440 Speaker 1: obviously this week, guys have to get back to work 227 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 1: and it's going to be on their mind, you know, 228 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,679 Speaker 1: I mean it was already on It's already on guy's 229 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:59,439 Speaker 1: minds when you're hitting. You know, when you when you 230 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 1: hit guys, you're worried about, you know, breaking your neck. 231 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 1: You're worried about are you gonna you know, hit this 232 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,560 Speaker 1: guy and not wake up. You're worried about, you know, 233 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 1: getting taken out on the stretcher. Um, call it how 234 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 1: it is. You don't worry about dying on the field, 235 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,680 Speaker 1: You don't. That's not something that crosses your mind. What 236 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 1: happened last night, The potential, um, the reality for that 237 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 1: young man and what he's facing right now tomorrow, that 238 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 1: doesn't cross your mind. Right, injuries cross your mind, yeah, Um, 239 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 1: life or death does not cross your mind. On the field. 240 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 1: After that's a totally different discussion. And it's just I 241 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 1: don't think guys are They're gonna have to figure it 242 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 1: out there. They really just have to figure it out, 243 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 1: and they're gonna it's gonna they're gonna need each other. 244 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 1: They're gonna need each other, They're gonna need a ton 245 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 1: of support. And this is times like this and when 246 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 1: you just have to come together, man, and really just 247 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 1: look out for each other and check on each other. 248 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 1: I mean, I can't tell you how many text messages 249 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 1: from from former teammates I got last night from guys 250 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 1: just saying, you know, love you, check in on you, 251 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 1: you know, like you're good. Like you can't take it 252 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 1: for granted. Man, you just can't. You can't. And I 253 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 1: mean so in terms of getting back to work, I 254 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 1: don't know, he just figure it out. I mean, I 255 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 1: don't think as a as a locker room, any locker 256 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 1: room around the league, um, you know, not exclusive to 257 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 1: the one across across the hall. Um. It's it's about 258 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 1: locking arms even more than the arms were already locked. 259 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 1: Because the reality is is the game is going to 260 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 1: go on. Thankfully last night it did not, but the 261 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 1: game as a whole, as far as the sport is concerned, 262 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 1: the sport is going to continue. And in that breath, 263 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 1: it's about just putting one foot in front of the other. 264 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 1: If you're a player, if you're a coach, just put 265 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 1: one foot in front of the other um and keep 266 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 1: moving forward while also remembering what happened last night to 267 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 1: hambling Um. But as a league, the only thing the 268 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 1: league can do is wait for the tests to come 269 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 1: back on hambling Um to see if it was a 270 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 1: pre existing condition or was it an impact or was 271 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,240 Speaker 1: it caused by impact, which would be that much more 272 00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 1: terrifying if it's the latter, simply because like you stayed 273 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 1: at Kyle, it was a routine play. Yeah right, It 274 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 1: wasn't like somebody speared him in the chest with the 275 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 1: top of the crown of their helmet. It's just a 276 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 1: routine tackle. Um. But we've we've covered this game long 277 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 1: enough to know on Isaiah's played this sport at the 278 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 1: highest level, and sometimes there are un diagnosed pre existing conditions. 279 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 1: We'll see if that's the case. You talk about JJ 280 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 1: Watt and j J Watt had the harder rhythmia that 281 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 1: he had to go get his heart shot back into rhythm. 282 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 1: M But you know what if he plays tries to 283 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 1: play through that and he ends up in a hambling situation, 284 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,120 Speaker 1: or you know, you look at Damon Clark in the 285 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,880 Speaker 1: the previously undiagnosed situation with his his vertebra and his 286 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,760 Speaker 1: final cord that got resolved, you know, at the combine 287 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 1: because the Cowboys found it. But um, we'll see Tessa 288 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 1: being run. The last thing we or anyone should do 289 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 1: is try to speculate. But as a league, all you 290 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 1: can do is wait to see what happens. If it 291 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,160 Speaker 1: does turn out that it was not a pre existing condition, 292 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 1: then you know, you start doing research and like you 293 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:09,680 Speaker 1: did with concussions, and you try to figure out is 294 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,520 Speaker 1: there anything that you can do to to make the 295 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 1: game safer for players? Um, not just they're head, but 296 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:22,560 Speaker 1: now their heart. And it's it's it's terrified because it's 297 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 1: your heart much like it's your brain. And you I 298 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 1: mean these are yeah, I want to Um, I know 299 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 1: he wouldn't sign off on this, but this is all. 300 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:34,879 Speaker 1: This is a Cowboys platform. And for those that don't know, 301 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 1: I know, Kyl, you know this from a couple of 302 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 1: weeks ago. Jason Hatcher, former Dallas Cowboy, my former teammate, 303 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:47,320 Speaker 1: he lost his son a few weeks ago. His teenage 304 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 1: son prayers to a heart issue that was undiagnosed. His 305 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 1: son had complained about chest pains and things of that nature. 306 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 1: Um it was undiagnosed, and he in a seven on 307 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,680 Speaker 1: seven tournament had a very similar to what we saw 308 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 1: last night. So for those out there listening, like checking 309 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:11,920 Speaker 1: on the hatch, because I can't imagine how emotional last 310 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 1: night was. Impersonal that was for him right on the 311 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:20,159 Speaker 1: heels of his son passing away from a very similar situation. 312 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 1: So it's just, man, it's a lot going on. It's 313 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 1: a whole heck of a lot. And and and ladies and gentlemen, 314 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,159 Speaker 1: and we're talking about a world class athlete in hambling, 315 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:31,399 Speaker 1: much like every single athlete in the NFL is a 316 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,639 Speaker 1: world class athlete. And for this to be able to 317 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 1: happen to a world class athlete should serve as a 318 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:42,360 Speaker 1: reminder to look after self, make sure that you are 319 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 1: particularly men. I am particularly speaking to men because just 320 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:49,879 Speaker 1: as a gender, we tend to try to match your 321 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 1: things out and try to tough it out. And no, 322 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 1: I don't need to go to the doctor. I feel 323 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:57,920 Speaker 1: find it, stop it. If anything feels even remotely off, 324 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:00,479 Speaker 1: just get it checked out. And I'm not saying that 325 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:04,200 Speaker 1: that's the situation with Hamlin, but I'm saying that if 326 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 1: you're making New Year resolutions for twenty twenty three, your 327 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:12,720 Speaker 1: your biggest one should be your mental health and your 328 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 1: physical health. Make sure you're in a good spot. And 329 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 1: on top of that, above anything and above everything, love, 330 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 1: allow yourself to be loved. And remember that tomorrow is 331 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,119 Speaker 1: in fact not promised. That is a cliche that we 332 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 1: have heard since the day we were born. But you 333 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 1: should never become nun to that, because we get constant 334 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 1: reminders every day that the moment you have right now 335 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,920 Speaker 1: is all you truly have. So be great in this moment. 336 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,640 Speaker 1: Use this moment to be an inspiration, be a blessing 337 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 1: to others, and you know, continue praying for Hamling everyone involved, 338 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:54,360 Speaker 1: and take care of yourselves out there, man, take care 339 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 1: of others too. Hug those around you a little bit tighter, 340 00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 1: because life is fragile, and this is another cruel reminder 341 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 1: of that fact. And our thoughts and prayers are with tomorrow. Hamlin. 342 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,159 Speaker 1: We're about to take our first break and kind of 343 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,440 Speaker 1: catch our breath a little bit, and when we come back, 344 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:11,879 Speaker 1: we are going to talk a little Dallas Cowboys. But 345 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 1: before we do that, I want to give you a 346 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 1: chance kind of like what Isaiah was saying earlier. The 347 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 1: best thing you can do right now is pray. But 348 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:21,680 Speaker 1: if you want to try and help in another way 349 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 1: online right now, there's golfund me pages flying around Twitter. 350 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,200 Speaker 1: The golfund me page that I've seen that was started 351 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 1: by Demarrow Hamlin. It was a toy drive for Kelly 352 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 1: and Nina's daycare center in Pennsylvania. He went, of course, 353 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 1: to Pittsburgh before playing with the Buffalo Bills. It's called 354 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 1: the Chasing MS Foundation Community Toy Drive. Originally, this toy 355 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 1: drive had a goal of twenty five hundred dollars. Last 356 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:52,119 Speaker 1: time I checked it, which was about an hour and 357 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 1: a half ago, it was at three point five million, 358 00:20:56,280 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 1: and so unbelievable what the community has already. And if 359 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:03,440 Speaker 1: you feel like you want to help, that's one way 360 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 1: to do it. I wanted to throw that out there 361 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,359 Speaker 1: because over one hundred and thirty or one hundred and 362 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 1: thirty thousand people have donated already. I'm sure that number 363 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:12,440 Speaker 1: is even higher than when I checked it in about 364 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:16,359 Speaker 1: ninety minutes ago. And there's at least a way you 365 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 1: could do it and help out a little bit. But 366 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:20,720 Speaker 1: I love you guys that are in this room. I 367 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 1: love all of you that are listening. Check on each 368 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:26,159 Speaker 1: other outside of it. Continue to value life because it 369 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:29,120 Speaker 1: is very, very fragile. You never know when your day 370 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:33,240 Speaker 1: might come. So all right, kind of heart and heavy 371 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 1: first segment, tough one to really swallow. But when we 372 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:38,679 Speaker 1: come back, we're gonna we're gonna try and move on 373 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:40,800 Speaker 1: and talk a little bit of the Cowboys and the Commanders. 374 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 1: Coming up this week a Sunday afternoon matchup with more 375 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 1: talking Cowboys right after this.

I'm Kyle Yeoman's again. 416 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 1: The most recent I guess storyline for the Cowboys was 417 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 1: the fact that their game was in fact scheduled for 418 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:15,919 Speaker 1: three twenty five Central time kickoff on Fox against the 419 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:20,879 Speaker 1: Washington Commanders. Also a developing storyline for Dallas is the 420 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 1: fact that Philadelphia lost on Sunday, so their hopes for 421 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,480 Speaker 1: the NFC East are very much so still alive. Philadelphia 422 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:30,920 Speaker 1: will play to the New York Giants three twenty five 423 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:34,880 Speaker 1: Central time on CBS coming up this Sunday. But gentlemen, 424 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:38,160 Speaker 1: it's it's interesting that we're getting to this point that 425 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,920 Speaker 1: the Cowboys lost that game to Jacksonville. We all looked 426 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,800 Speaker 1: at each other and said, this thing's over. It's done. 427 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 1: Maybe not so fast. You still might not get a 428 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,199 Speaker 1: chance to win the division, but you actually have a 429 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 1: chance to at least try and win it going into 430 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:57,800 Speaker 1: the final week of the regular season. Yeah, in NFL football, right, 431 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,480 Speaker 1: you lose that game against the Jacksonville jack Wars. And 432 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,840 Speaker 1: I mean even the most logical mind is saying, Okay, 433 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,720 Speaker 1: there's a slim chance, but went out lose out scenario. 434 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:11,439 Speaker 1: But then Jalen Hurt. Hurts gets injured not long, you know, 435 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 1: a couple of days after news comes out, and then 436 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:17,200 Speaker 1: he ends up missing. In Christmas Eve, Cowboys handle business. 437 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,400 Speaker 1: News comes out that Hurt still wasn't prepared to play 438 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:25,679 Speaker 1: for Week seventeen. Menshoe again. Menshoe loses after the Cowboys 439 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 1: handle business on Thursday night against the Titans. And here 440 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,920 Speaker 1: we are, ladies and gentlemen to the wire. And I've 441 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 1: said it several times on Twitter prior to the Thursday 442 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 1: night game, and you know for everyone that was saying, well, 443 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,440 Speaker 1: you gotta rest the startus because the chance is so slim, Well, 444 00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:47,120 Speaker 1: all slim chances aren't the same right, the slim chance 445 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 1: with Jalen Hurts is QB one for the Eagles. It's 446 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,360 Speaker 1: not the same slim chances of Garden Minshoe as QB 447 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,159 Speaker 1: one for the Eagles. So Cowboys going into week eighteen, 448 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,640 Speaker 1: and I love what late and vander Is said on 449 00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,959 Speaker 1: yesterday in the locker room. And you know we'll get 450 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 1: to news and notes in a second with injury updates 451 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:05,199 Speaker 1: as far as status for him, Hankins pillared to some 452 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:08,040 Speaker 1: of these other guys, but Elvie said, there's no weight 453 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,920 Speaker 1: being taken off of the pedal. They're going into Washington. 454 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,840 Speaker 1: The Cowboys are and they're looking to play four quarters 455 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,359 Speaker 1: of got to win this game football. And that's something 456 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,880 Speaker 1: that Mike McCarthy echoed in his press conference yesterday as well, 457 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 1: something owner and general manager Jerry Jones echoed in his 458 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,640 Speaker 1: Tuesday wanting to address two one or five point three 459 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 1: off him the fan this morning. The Cowboys are looking 460 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:29,720 Speaker 1: to win. They know that this is going to be 461 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 1: a scrappy game. Doesn't matter if it's Heineke or wins. 462 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:37,200 Speaker 1: It's Ron Rivera and a lot of Commanders players who 463 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,919 Speaker 1: may not have a job in Washington or even the 464 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 1: NFL which is the reality next year. So they're not 465 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:44,439 Speaker 1: just going to go out there and lay down. They 466 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:45,720 Speaker 1: want to go out there on a high note, and 467 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,680 Speaker 1: they want to ruin any chances the Cowboys have of 468 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:52,160 Speaker 1: having a good day. So be prepared to play some football, 469 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 1: and the Cowboys are going to play their starters because 470 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 1: that's what they should have been doing to this point 471 00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 1: to apply pressure, keep pressure on the Philadelphia Eagles, and 472 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,320 Speaker 1: now they so worst case, if the Cowboys still end 473 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 1: up in the five seat and nothing comes of them 474 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 1: applying pressure, it's still i'll say a lowercase W because 475 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 1: they forced Philadelphia's hand in having to play Jalen Hurts 476 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,440 Speaker 1: in Week eight team, which is not what Philadelphia wanted 477 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:18,159 Speaker 1: to do. Dallass needs to get back on track right now. 478 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:21,680 Speaker 1: They're playing terrible football. Just called how it is. They're 479 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 1: playing bad over the past for wins. Listen here, listen. 480 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:28,240 Speaker 1: You can take an ugly win all day long, doesn't 481 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:31,400 Speaker 1: mean that you prepared playoff. I'm taking that. I'm taking 482 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:33,640 Speaker 1: that shot. I don't think there's not I don't think 483 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,200 Speaker 1: there's any a Cowboy fan out there that would say 484 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,879 Speaker 1: that they feel in their heart that Dallas is ready 485 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 1: for the playoffs. Oh, based on the last two outings, 486 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 1: last three outings, I would agree with, which is why 487 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 1: they need to play. They need That's what I'm saying. 488 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,720 Speaker 1: Right Like, let's say they look good against Philly, and 489 00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:53,119 Speaker 1: I know Philly had a backup quarterback, but they at 490 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:56,640 Speaker 1: least played well in that game. You know who decently well? 491 00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 1: The Cowboys almost The Cowboys lost in Jacksonville and nearly 492 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:04,040 Speaker 1: lost to the Eagles, and it was ten six against 493 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:07,119 Speaker 1: the Titans only because of what we keep coming back to, 494 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 1: the only team that can defeat the Cowboys in twenty 495 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:14,439 Speaker 1: twenty two. And they better figure it out because right now, 496 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,359 Speaker 1: that's right now, I don't care who who's doing it, 497 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,480 Speaker 1: who's doing the beating up they're doing. They're figured, they're 498 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:20,800 Speaker 1: ready to figure it out because right now this is 499 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:25,600 Speaker 1: bad ball. Jacksonville was bad ball. Green Bay was bad ball. Um, 500 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:30,080 Speaker 1: you know, Philadelphia, you have four turnovers and you still 501 00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,639 Speaker 1: almost lost second quarter ten I mean, you know what 502 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:34,159 Speaker 1: I'm saying, So like, I mean I take that as 503 00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:35,880 Speaker 1: a w but but but the thing is, you still 504 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,720 Speaker 1: almost lost. Out of the six games that they've won recently, 505 00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:42,080 Speaker 1: I would say about two point two five percent of it. 506 00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:45,880 Speaker 1: It's been solid. I mean specific two games, well two 507 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,520 Speaker 1: games in a quarter have been have been good. That's 508 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:50,920 Speaker 1: about it. And even some of those quarters could probably 509 00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,720 Speaker 1: be taken away. There's there's probably like one point seven five. 510 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:55,680 Speaker 1: There's a long way to go and they and they 511 00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:58,200 Speaker 1: need this week. They need a solid week of practice. 512 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:01,120 Speaker 1: They need a solid game to feel good on the 513 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:02,880 Speaker 1: top playff But you know what you know, it's I 514 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,440 Speaker 1: don't know that. There is a long way to go. 515 00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 1: And here's why I said that. Here's what I mean 516 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:12,120 Speaker 1: by that. We wanted them to clean up the penalties. 517 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:16,520 Speaker 1: They cleaned up the penalties. Penalties have been consistently low 518 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 1: over the month of December. Three a game to a game, cetera, 519 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:24,520 Speaker 1: et cetera. Run defense, it was repaired, particularly when Hankins 520 00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:26,200 Speaker 1: was on the field, LV was on the field. You 521 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,400 Speaker 1: lose those couple of guys, and you still kind of 522 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:30,920 Speaker 1: equitted yourself well in that regard. You didn't get Yeah, 523 00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,320 Speaker 1: you didn't go against Rik Henry either. We know, we 524 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:37,840 Speaker 1: know um, but speaking on the macro, you kind of 525 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,280 Speaker 1: fixed that after Green Bay and you will have Hankins 526 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,760 Speaker 1: coming back for the playoffs. You will have LV coming 527 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,760 Speaker 1: back for the playoffs, So theoretically you should be good 528 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:48,400 Speaker 1: there or at least better or at least better what 529 00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:52,440 Speaker 1: we're waiting on now. In my opinion, the only thing 530 00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:55,000 Speaker 1: with wait you on now is the giveaways to stop, 531 00:29:56,520 --> 00:30:01,240 Speaker 1: and a lot of them that it's if we just 532 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:03,480 Speaker 1: I just mentioned three categories that the Cowboys had of 533 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:06,120 Speaker 1: major concern on the back half of the season coming 534 00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,880 Speaker 1: out of the bot. Now when are we talking about one? 535 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:12,200 Speaker 1: So I say that to say there is a way 536 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,000 Speaker 1: to go, but I don't know that there's a long 537 00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,320 Speaker 1: ways to go, is what I'm saying, which should give 538 00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:18,440 Speaker 1: a lot of optimism for what this Cowboys team can 539 00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:20,920 Speaker 1: be in the playoffs, because really, you've cleaned up the penalties, 540 00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:24,000 Speaker 1: you've more or less short up your run defense, and 541 00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:28,640 Speaker 1: your two best run defenders outside of Donathan wilson Um 542 00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,160 Speaker 1: will be back on the field for the playoffs. So 543 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:32,880 Speaker 1: now you just need to stop giving the ball away. 544 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:37,160 Speaker 1: And that is extremely fixable. What if you had to 545 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:40,800 Speaker 1: take one thing and fix it immediately, you had a cure. 546 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,640 Speaker 1: All you had a free pass card to give to 547 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Isaiah, which which aspect which area of the 548 00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:50,480 Speaker 1: game would you would you use? That card on Would 549 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,080 Speaker 1: you use it on the run defense? Would you use 550 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 1: it on takeaways? What are you trying to fix? What's 551 00:30:54,640 --> 00:31:00,040 Speaker 1: the number one offensive line? Okay, turnovers? Turnovers? Got it? 552 00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:03,320 Speaker 1: Had ten interceptions in the last six games, Yeah, or 553 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:07,000 Speaker 1: stretch of his career by far, it's bad. And it's 554 00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,600 Speaker 1: not like they're tip balls. It's not like you know, 555 00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:11,960 Speaker 1: one of them was a was a job. There's probably 556 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:15,480 Speaker 1: two or three, Okay, but still the seven reoccurring issue 557 00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:19,400 Speaker 1: for me is bad decisions. And I know this is 558 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:23,080 Speaker 1: not all on him, but most of the turnovers are 559 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:26,040 Speaker 1: coming in the form of turn of interceptions. These are 560 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,440 Speaker 1: bad decisions. We're broking down on the film room. We're 561 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:33,760 Speaker 1: talking about the recogning, the recognizing of coverages right and 562 00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:36,320 Speaker 1: making the proper decisions based upon those coverages, going to 563 00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 1: the right man, in your in your progression, based upon 564 00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:44,000 Speaker 1: what the what the defense is providing you. Incorrect decisions, 565 00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:49,360 Speaker 1: bad balls, bad location of bass right. And then these 566 00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:53,280 Speaker 1: are just compounding problems that we're seeing week after week 567 00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:57,760 Speaker 1: after week. So it's not like it happens, it gets addressed, 568 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:02,280 Speaker 1: it goes away. This is happening over and over again. 569 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:04,840 Speaker 1: So now you have to start saying, Okay, it's just 570 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:09,160 Speaker 1: the expectation. Are we expecting there to be a turnover, 571 00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:12,240 Speaker 1: because that's what we've come to know through the air, 572 00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:16,480 Speaker 1: and we've been running the ball really effectively. So I 573 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:19,920 Speaker 1: have to ask a question, why are we throwing so much? 574 00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:27,200 Speaker 1: Why are we throwing somebody? I mean forty one against Tennessee? Yeah, yeah, 575 00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,960 Speaker 1: that should Why are we throwing so much? So let 576 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 1: me ask you this. It would to that point when 577 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:36,440 Speaker 1: it comes to going up against Tennessee number two defense, 578 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,200 Speaker 1: there was a reason Mallete Davis and Ezekiel Elliot is going. 579 00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:41,440 Speaker 1: So I mean to answer your question, but you abandoned 580 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:43,760 Speaker 1: it very quickly too, though. I think you knew what 581 00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:45,640 Speaker 1: you were up against. Yeah, but when you're when you're 582 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:49,800 Speaker 1: a QB struggling, but you're not, you're not You're not wrong. 583 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,160 Speaker 1: But they knew what they were up against. They tried 584 00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,680 Speaker 1: to establish the run early. Then they had some good 585 00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:59,640 Speaker 1: runs and then it stopped. All right, Yeah they nobody 586 00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:02,920 Speaker 1: I mean, was that Malick was told that thing? Yeah, 587 00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,120 Speaker 1: but I think one of his bigger ones were was 588 00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:09,840 Speaker 1: a quick a quick shovel. But for those that are saying, well, 589 00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:11,800 Speaker 1: you know, the Tennessee tit and I say it's not wrong, 590 00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:14,640 Speaker 1: but I'll expound on his point a little bit. When 591 00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:18,560 Speaker 1: it comes to the Tennessee Titans. Yes, they pulled Malik 592 00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:22,520 Speaker 1: Malik Willis and started Joshua Dobbs. Yeah, they rested guys 593 00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:25,000 Speaker 1: like the Nico Autree et cetera, et cetera. But that 594 00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:30,760 Speaker 1: front seven is still top three and run defense and 595 00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,720 Speaker 1: they're not number three, So they kind of the Titans 596 00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:36,000 Speaker 1: kind of forced the Cowboys to get away from what 597 00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,000 Speaker 1: they wanted to do, which was run the ball and 598 00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:43,600 Speaker 1: just you know, established there. But it's when it goes 599 00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:47,480 Speaker 1: to the air. To your point, the giveaways have to stop. 600 00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:50,120 Speaker 1: Not every one of Dak's interceptions are on him. Some 601 00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:52,560 Speaker 1: are on the receivers. Look at what paid him the shot, 602 00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:57,000 Speaker 1: you know, or Brown and Jacksonville. It's also true that 603 00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,760 Speaker 1: some of those are very much on Dak Prescott and 604 00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:02,720 Speaker 1: you can't have that. You talk about josh Sweat pick six, 605 00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:07,160 Speaker 1: for example, that his second interception in Tennessee one hundred 606 00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:11,640 Speaker 1: percent accountable to Deck. Absolutely, it's so fixable that it 607 00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:14,760 Speaker 1: provides optimism that this Cowboys team can be a problem 608 00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:17,280 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. You just have to fix it, because 609 00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,279 Speaker 1: this is the same, this is the same NFL this 610 00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:23,320 Speaker 1: season that's seen just this last week, just this last weekend. 611 00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:25,520 Speaker 1: The San Francisco forty nine Ers, they're in play for 612 00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:29,120 Speaker 1: the number one seed. Yep. It took them overtime and 613 00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:32,840 Speaker 1: a field goal to defeat the Las Vegas Raiders. You 614 00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:36,080 Speaker 1: saw the Kansas City Chiefs struggling to put down the 615 00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:39,040 Speaker 1: same Houston Texans that the Cowboys struggle to put down. 616 00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:42,840 Speaker 1: You saw Minnesota get the doors blown off of them 617 00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:45,720 Speaker 1: by a Green Bay Packers team that, at least on paper, 618 00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:48,600 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers notwithstanding, at least on paper, Minnesota should have 619 00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:51,000 Speaker 1: handled that game, especially considering that they had a lot 620 00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:54,760 Speaker 1: on the line. Is one paper on film, green Bay looks. 621 00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:58,560 Speaker 1: But my point is these contenders and the Cowboys are 622 00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:02,000 Speaker 1: one of these continues. Every single contender, from the Chiefs 623 00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:03,880 Speaker 1: to the Bills, to the Eagles, to the Cowboys to 624 00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:06,960 Speaker 1: the Vikings, so forth and so on, have had more 625 00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,279 Speaker 1: than one game this season where you're like, uh huh, 626 00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:13,960 Speaker 1: you can be had. There's questions around every single contender 627 00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:17,040 Speaker 1: right now, and a big reason for that is it's 628 00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:21,320 Speaker 1: wide open. This whole thing is blown wide open, really 629 00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:24,719 Speaker 1: has and that's something to keep in mind heading into 630 00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:26,560 Speaker 1: the playoffs. But I want to ask the question on 631 00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,000 Speaker 1: the other side of the break to Isaiah, I want 632 00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,120 Speaker 1: to ask, where do you think the root of the 633 00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:35,759 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott decision making mistakes is coming from? Where do 634 00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:38,400 Speaker 1: you feel like he is making those mistakes? And is 635 00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:40,680 Speaker 1: there something that's reoccurring that we can look at to 636 00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,080 Speaker 1: maybe try and rectify As we head into the final 637 00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:45,279 Speaker 1: week of the regular season, We'll be back with more 638 00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:48,799 Speaker 1: talking cowboys. Right after the break, Todd thought it would 639 00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:51,480 Speaker 1: be secure to jog and the cheetah SAVEMBA. Todd believed 640 00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:54,319 Speaker 1: the big Cat repellent he bought online was reliable, and 641 00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:56,920 Speaker 1: now Todd is trying to be faster than this cheetah 642 00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:59,399 Speaker 1: that can run eighty miles per hour. But the good 643 00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:01,480 Speaker 1: news is it has AT and T five G. It 644 00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:04,120 Speaker 1: is fast, reliable, and secure, and he learned the best 645 00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:06,440 Speaker 1: thing to do is stop running and toss her the 646 00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:10,800 Speaker 1: backpack with the beef stew at and T five G.

Lucky that dude as 691 00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:59,399 Speaker 1: a relevant if pour guy doesn't miss it was targeting too. 692 00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:03,040 Speaker 1: It was absolutely that was targeting. Show. I am a 693 00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:05,719 Speaker 1: I am a neutral party that was targeting shoulder. We 694 00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:07,600 Speaker 1: beat up on Texas, I can say that. Yeah, when 695 00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:11,080 Speaker 1: it when it comes to the player health and player safety, 696 00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:13,640 Speaker 1: I am as objective as it goes. And if it 697 00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:16,680 Speaker 1: was targeting, I would one yep, yep, that was targeting. 698 00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:18,680 Speaker 1: Shouldn't have happened, and I would I would have really 699 00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:21,520 Speaker 1: guess how defense, you're in the title game, You're in 700 00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:23,560 Speaker 1: the title game. We left points on the field, I'm 701 00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:26,760 Speaker 1: sharing for We didn't too. We left way to defense 702 00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:31,120 Speaker 1: had a really bad game. But the offense if first 703 00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:33,280 Speaker 1: offensive series, third and one hand the ball off instead 704 00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:35,359 Speaker 1: of getting cute which then led to a missfield goal, 705 00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:37,200 Speaker 1: so forth and so on. We left points on the field. 706 00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,040 Speaker 1: We could have hung fifty five sixty on those guys. 707 00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:40,799 Speaker 1: They still would have got their forty burger because our 708 00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:43,960 Speaker 1: defense just was being ripped to shreds because of surprising 709 00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,799 Speaker 1: by no. No, what really preview in the game, I said, 710 00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:50,480 Speaker 1: Ohio states strength is our opportunity for improvement. They can 711 00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:53,120 Speaker 1: stretch the field, our secondary can be suspected. You did 712 00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:55,200 Speaker 1: say that, and that's exactly how it picked. The question 713 00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:59,040 Speaker 1: is but it wasn't lucks because it's not average or 714 00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:02,120 Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys leave points on the field. Yes, yes 715 00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:07,719 Speaker 1: they are. We're turnover every time and they're still putting up. 716 00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:13,359 Speaker 1: That makes a great transition into Cowboys talk. Dak. Dak 717 00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:17,480 Speaker 1: has ten interceptions in six games, fourteen on the season. Okay, 718 00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:19,279 Speaker 1: that's a lot in the last six games. What would 719 00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:23,879 Speaker 1: you say on the receivers sixty percent in the last 720 00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:27,000 Speaker 1: five games? Well, what is five out of fourteen? I'd 721 00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:29,000 Speaker 1: say five. I went back and looked at him. Five 722 00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:31,120 Speaker 1: interceptions I would give to the wide receivers. What is 723 00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:34,719 Speaker 1: that percentage? I'm not sas in five games. What are 724 00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:38,360 Speaker 1: you starting to see with Dak's feet? Happy feet, happy feet? 725 00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:41,360 Speaker 1: Dak is starting to step up and out of pocket 726 00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:46,239 Speaker 1: a lot more. He starts surrounded up, up and out 727 00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:48,799 Speaker 1: the pocket a lot more than than I've seen him do. 728 00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:52,839 Speaker 1: His decision making is not what I've seen him making 729 00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:55,120 Speaker 1: the pass. He's starting to force a lot of balls. 730 00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:59,120 Speaker 1: He is starting to not set his feet. Why why 731 00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:01,960 Speaker 1: is he doing that? You don't don't know. I don't know. 732 00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:04,439 Speaker 1: Maybe it's because he's gotten sacked twelve times in five games. 733 00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:06,680 Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe that's you think it's the offensive 734 00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:09,439 Speaker 1: line up front. It's possible, or do you think as 735 00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:11,279 Speaker 1: a former quarterback, when you start getting hit a lot 736 00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:13,279 Speaker 1: and you start moving around a lot more, you start 737 00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:15,839 Speaker 1: getting the ball out without your mechanics being necessarily all 738 00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:18,239 Speaker 1: the way, you know, tightened up an offensive line that 739 00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:21,239 Speaker 1: doesn't have its starting center at the moment. By the way, Yeah, yeah, 740 00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:28,279 Speaker 1: news and notes rob do earlier. But nonetheless, let's leave 741 00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:31,479 Speaker 1: with that. Tyler Biadish suffered a high ankle sprain and 742 00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:33,919 Speaker 1: he's not going to participate in the Week eight team 743 00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:37,560 Speaker 1: matchup against the Washington Commanders. But still good news overall, 744 00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:41,600 Speaker 1: Stephen Jones said, as Mike McCarthy intimated, as Jerry Jones said, 745 00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:44,120 Speaker 1: the expectation is that Tyler Biadish will be back on 746 00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:46,560 Speaker 1: the field at the start of the playoffs. He's dealt 747 00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:49,360 Speaker 1: with a high ankle before, and they're saying, obviously for 748 00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:51,280 Speaker 1: those that know when you deal with that, but before 749 00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:52,640 Speaker 1: it makes it easier to kind of get back. It's 750 00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:54,040 Speaker 1: kind of like rolling your ankle. You hate it when 751 00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:56,879 Speaker 1: it happens, but if it's happened before, you actually bounce 752 00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:59,400 Speaker 1: back a bit a bit faster. Tony Pollard is going 753 00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:01,560 Speaker 1: to be back in practice this week, says head Quach 754 00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:05,040 Speaker 1: mc McCarthy, after being rested, which was very wise, by 755 00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:07,520 Speaker 1: the way, after being rested against the Tennessee Titans with 756 00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:12,560 Speaker 1: a thigh issue. Lve is expected to return for the playoffs. 757 00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:15,400 Speaker 1: That's always been the case Washington. Always been the case 758 00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:17,000 Speaker 1: because it's a recent injury, but that's been the case 759 00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:21,719 Speaker 1: since suffering the pinched nerve, and he himself reiterated that 760 00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:24,840 Speaker 1: he is quote unquote ready to get back on the field, 761 00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:27,960 Speaker 1: and his energy was a very, very anxious in a 762 00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:30,759 Speaker 1: positive way. That dude wants to hit somebody talking to 763 00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:33,640 Speaker 1: him in the locker room yesterday. He is ready. Jonathan, 764 00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:36,760 Speaker 1: he plays this week. You think he plays limited snaps? Probably. 765 00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:39,520 Speaker 1: I would love for that to happen, give him ten snaps, 766 00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:42,920 Speaker 1: But I think the Cowboys really just want to be 767 00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:45,520 Speaker 1: extra precautious with one of their best defenders. I don't 768 00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:47,000 Speaker 1: blame him all right, So I'm not mad at I 769 00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:49,239 Speaker 1: would like to see ten snaps or so, but if 770 00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:51,759 Speaker 1: that doesn't happen, I'm not going to criticize for it. 771 00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:56,480 Speaker 1: Jonathan Hankins is on track. Mike McCarthy said to return 772 00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:58,279 Speaker 1: to the field for the playoffs as well. For those 773 00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:01,160 Speaker 1: that may have forgotten, or many have not known, he 774 00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:04,480 Speaker 1: was placed on injured reserve and that guaranteed he missed 775 00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:07,320 Speaker 1: four games before being able to return. Week teen is 776 00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:10,839 Speaker 1: game four. Can't return before Week eighteen. Big news here 777 00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:16,280 Speaker 1: for the Cowboys. Behind Tyler Biadish, Matt Farniac backup center, 778 00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:20,040 Speaker 1: his twenty one day practice window will be activated effective 779 00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:22,800 Speaker 1: tomorrow on Wednesday. For those that may not know, that 780 00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:25,319 Speaker 1: gives the Cowboys twenty one days before they have to 781 00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:27,200 Speaker 1: decide if they're going to revert him back to IR, 782 00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:29,160 Speaker 1: which will be season ending, or put him on the 783 00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:31,759 Speaker 1: active roster. Sounds like he's trending toward the ladder of 784 00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:36,280 Speaker 1: being active roster. If that happens, Farnia, the Cowboys backup center, 785 00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:39,120 Speaker 1: will be back in the mix with Tyler Biadish for 786 00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:41,720 Speaker 1: the playoffs, and then the Cowboys can shift Connor McGovern 787 00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:45,360 Speaker 1: and Tyler Smith back left to left tackle, and actually 788 00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:50,040 Speaker 1: huge because Farniac was playing decently well through training camp, 789 00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:53,120 Speaker 1: through the preseason and then had a good chance of 790 00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:56,520 Speaker 1: actually making the active roster. Now he's probably going to 791 00:43:56,560 --> 00:44:00,520 Speaker 1: make the active roster. That's actually massive news. Cavalry is 792 00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:05,960 Speaker 1: on the way for the coup. How does IR in 793 00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:10,920 Speaker 1: all these other designations affect their roster wants the seasons 794 00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:16,800 Speaker 1: over in the playoffs? Start IR designations at all weeks, 795 00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:20,160 Speaker 1: doesn't you have? Yeah, it's it's more or less until 796 00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:23,360 Speaker 1: the new league year opens. Yeah, basically, that's that's basically 797 00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:25,400 Speaker 1: how that happens. So that's where you're sitting until the 798 00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:28,200 Speaker 1: new league year opens. And when the new league year opens, 799 00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:31,959 Speaker 1: that's when twenty twenty three business becomes on the table. 800 00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:34,839 Speaker 1: In twenty twenty two business falls to the wayside. So 801 00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:36,279 Speaker 1: that's more or less how it happens. So if you're 802 00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:39,080 Speaker 1: end the season on IR, you're you're more or less 803 00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:41,400 Speaker 1: on i R until the league gear opens, which is 804 00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:44,200 Speaker 1: when free agency opens. In all of that, all right, 805 00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:48,480 Speaker 1: there we go. That's our Tuesday edition of Talking Cowboys, 806 00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:49,719 Speaker 1: and I want to I want to end it the 807 00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:52,480 Speaker 1: same way that we started it. Thoughts and prayers for 808 00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:57,560 Speaker 1: Damar Hamlin and the Bills organization, the Bengals organization. Check 809 00:44:57,600 --> 00:44:59,759 Speaker 1: on those around you. Hug your family, you hug your 810 00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:02,880 Speaker 1: love ones a little bit tighter, check on your friends, 811 00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:06,640 Speaker 1: make sure you have those those open conversations because mental 812 00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:12,320 Speaker 1: health matters. Loved ones matter, and continue that conversation. Absolutely, 813 00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:15,919 Speaker 1: you absolutely matter as well. But prayers for tomorrow Hamlin.

Continuing to see 816 00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:23,560 Speaker 1: that number rise is really really cool to watch. But 817 00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:27,440 Speaker 1: hopefully we'll have a good update about tomorrow Hamlin on 818 00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:29,440 Speaker 1: our show tomorrow. But when we come back tomorrow, we're 819 00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:33,880 Speaker 1: also going to preview the Cowboys defense versus the Washington offense. 820 00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:37,000 Speaker 1: This is a commander's offense that's been shaky heidik he 821 00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:40,960 Speaker 1: wins wins, Yeah, shaky at the quarterback position, shaky pretty 822 00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:44,000 Speaker 1: much anywhere. We're gonna talk about that matchup tomorrow with 823 00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:46,799 Speaker 1: more talking cowboys.
