Speaker 1: The following. Here's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. Cowboys, Let's go. Are
Speaker 1: you ready for a break? Yes? Are you ready for
Speaker 1: a break? Absolutely? Ready for a break? Yeah? And so
Speaker 1: much for that. It's time for The Break on Dallas
Speaker 1: Cowboys dot Com with Nick Eatman, David Hellman, and bar
Speaker 1: Garcia and Derek Eagleton. It is Friday, October fifteenth, twenty
Speaker 1: twenty one, Season seventeen, episode number forty two. Welcome to
Speaker 1: the latest edition of The Break, live from the s
Speaker 1: WBC Mortgage studios at the Star. Got Nick and Amber
Speaker 1: here with me. Dave, we'll be joining us momentarily. We
Speaker 1: got a lot we're gonna talk about today. We're gonna
Speaker 1: get you guys ready for Cowboys versus Patriots. That happens
Speaker 1: is Sunday, um and we have some storylines will go through.
Speaker 1: We're gonna play a little game of c or No.
Speaker 1: We haven't done that in a long time. And Amber
Speaker 1: has so many questions for us, so that I think
Speaker 1: that'll be a fun segment and we'll certainly try to
Speaker 1: if we have some time take some questions from you guys.
Speaker 1: You can call us eight eight eight, eight, five, five
Speaker 1: two two nine seven, or you can hit me up
Speaker 1: on Twitter and I could also get some questions that way.
Speaker 1: Let's start first with some injury updates, and I think
Speaker 1: at some point we'll probably get even more updates because
Speaker 1: I know Dave is right now with the head coach
Speaker 1: talking to him about different things. But Nick, give us
Speaker 1: what you know about and I obviously the two big ones,
Speaker 1: Tyren Smith and Trey Bond. Yeah, Tyren Smith had an
Speaker 1: MRI yesterday and still look at the neck. I think
Speaker 1: that they're they're encouraged by what they saw or probably
Speaker 1: what they didn't see. Um, but I think the word
Speaker 1: was favorable. The Mike mccarthury used about that. Um. But
Speaker 1: you know, this is a situation. It's always gonna happen,
Speaker 1: you know. I think it's always gonna be a thing
Speaker 1: with his neck, and things are gonna pop up. And
Speaker 1: I think for right now though, that they're not too
Speaker 1: concerned about it. Treyvon Diggs ankle injury, and I think
Speaker 1: it's been told that he'll be a game time decision
Speaker 1: to play in the game in New England against Bill Belichick. Yes,
Speaker 1: I mean this morning, I opened up my email and
Speaker 1: saw the practice report for the first time many months,
Speaker 1: and I was like, you know, come back yesterday. We're
Speaker 1: talking good and everything, Okay, I was winning all that,
Speaker 1: and look at the report. I'm like, oh, oh, oh,
Speaker 1: that name too. So I don't But then again, I
Speaker 1: don't know how concerned I should currently be because I'm
Speaker 1: kind of getting back into things and trying to So
Speaker 1: what what you guys have been here? What's the most
Speaker 1: concerning injury that's popped up right now? I mean, obviously
Speaker 1: Timing and then Digs, Trevon Diggs, but you know, sometimes
Speaker 1: they show up on the report and it's just kind
Speaker 1: of to take care of them. But I was clean
Speaker 1: this year for the most part. Right, I haven't remember
Speaker 1: seeing him on on injury reports. So when I saw
Speaker 1: that yesterday, and especially when I saw it was the neck,
Speaker 1: I got concerned, mainly because again, like you're saying, Nick,
Speaker 1: this is gonna be an ongoing thing, and it was just, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, when we were when we talked to him
Speaker 1: back at training camp, he was saying that, you know,
Speaker 1: he's feeling the best he's ever felt. He's glad he
Speaker 1: did the surgery the whole night, and and so it
Speaker 1: just it. For me, it was like, okay, good, we're
Speaker 1: into the season, he's not having issues, and then this
Speaker 1: pops up, and I know I got concerned. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean all this of what it turns out to be,
Speaker 1: it's definitely concerned. Yeah, it has to be concerning. And
Speaker 1: and and you know, I've been told in the offseason
Speaker 1: this stuff's gonna happen. Man, this is gonna happen with him,
Speaker 1: and you just gotta manage it. And that's what he'll do,
Speaker 1: and that's what he'll play through. And he's probably played
Speaker 1: through this game and then of course he's got the
Speaker 1: much needed by week, you know, for for him and
Speaker 1: for probably a few players. Um you know it's for
Speaker 1: tra Trayvon Dixon. I don't know. I mean I think
Speaker 1: he'll play. And reason why I said that about the Patriots,
Speaker 1: you know, it's like, I mean, if anybody has I
Speaker 1: would say manage the injury report. Over years, it's been them.
Speaker 1: It's been you know, like putting guys on. Tom Brady
Speaker 1: I think was on the injury report for like four
Speaker 1: years in a row. So like, you know, this is
Speaker 1: a cat and mouse game. They'll probably put you know,
Speaker 1: Diggs I think is gonna play, but they're gonna call
Speaker 1: him a game time decision. But if it's a game
Speaker 1: time decision at that point, with a guy like him
Speaker 1: that has been having such an amazing season, do you
Speaker 1: want to even put him out there, even if it's
Speaker 1: kind of okay and they give him the green light,
Speaker 1: do you want to risk him having a game maybe
Speaker 1: too soon for him to be back and play, or
Speaker 1: just kind of set him out and give him an
Speaker 1: extra week too, maybe because you don't want to lose
Speaker 1: him for the season basically, or for more than one game. Well,
Speaker 1: that's what we don't know. We don't know if this
Speaker 1: is the kind of injury Like there's some injuries. You're
Speaker 1: right that if you try to play through it you
Speaker 1: could make it worse. There are other injuries that it
Speaker 1: just kind is what it is. It's not necessarily like
Speaker 1: playing through it's not going to necessarily create more problems.
Speaker 1: And you get a bye week next week, so you
Speaker 1: got two weeks after that to get him to a
Speaker 1: point where he can just rest. Um. So you know,
Speaker 1: I'd have to know more about the injury and whether
Speaker 1: he actually could do more damage to it before I
Speaker 1: would know the answer to that. Yeah, I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't think it's a high ankle sprain. I think it's
Speaker 1: just a regular ankle sprain or ankle injury. So, um,
Speaker 1: I have a feeling he's he's going to play. Um
Speaker 1: and you know, game time decision is go out there
Speaker 1: two or three hours beforehand, you know, run, cut, do whatever.
Speaker 1: See how you know it feels. Maybe you take a
Speaker 1: I don't know, take it, take a shot, or heavily tape.
Speaker 1: It depends on what the nature of it is. But
Speaker 1: I just have a feeling that he'll he'll play in
Speaker 1: this game. And yeah, and risking it. Yeah, yeah, there's
Speaker 1: a there's a one minute video we're about the or
Speaker 1: we posted yesterday about him with all the interceptions and
Speaker 1: this year, Like, yeah, he's he's worth it because just
Speaker 1: what he can do and what he's worth if he
Speaker 1: can play his his eighty percent might be better than
Speaker 1: I think the alternative right now. Well that's the other
Speaker 1: thing too, Like I know there are probably people out
Speaker 1: there that are listening to the show right now that
Speaker 1: are probably thinking, well, Patriots, aren't they don't have like
Speaker 1: this high powered offensive attack through the air. So if
Speaker 1: there was a week you were going to miss him
Speaker 1: and this might be a week where it might be okay,
Speaker 1: but I still say to that this defense isn't at
Speaker 1: the level yet where you're like, oh, this is a
Speaker 1: shutdown defense if you don't have him, even against a
Speaker 1: bad offense or an average offense, like you're good. I
Speaker 1: think they need every bit of what they can get
Speaker 1: from Treyvon Diggs, every bit of what they can get
Speaker 1: from Michael Parsons, like they need these guys. He's part
Speaker 1: of it. So he's the reason why they've been what
Speaker 1: they are. Yeah, he needs to play, So you can't
Speaker 1: just say that on any given week. I don't think
Speaker 1: you're not at that point Yetah well, hopefully they've have
Speaker 1: some good news for us. What do you know about
Speaker 1: these injuries? Man um, I'm not that worried about him
Speaker 1: either one not in the grand scheme of life. Well
Speaker 1: just no, of no, you know what I mean for
Speaker 1: this week? Probably not, but just yeah, like it's never
Speaker 1: good when guys aren't practicing on Friday, right. I don't
Speaker 1: know how many times I've said that, but I don't
Speaker 1: think it's a huge deal for the season, and I'm
Speaker 1: at least optimistic that they'll both play. Cautiously especially with Dix,
Speaker 1: feel a little a little more confident about Tying. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's kind of the sense I'm getting listening to the
Speaker 1: things I've heard from McCarthy, from you guys, it seems
Speaker 1: like Tying is pretty much kind of like, Okay, we
Speaker 1: feel pretty good. He's gonna play Trayvon. This seems to
Speaker 1: be a little like rich, we'll see. The thing that
Speaker 1: makes me nervous about Trayvon is that McCarthy earlier in
Speaker 1: the week was like, I'm not worried about his status,
Speaker 1: and then as the week goes on, it's like, well,
Speaker 1: we'll see how he feels on Sunday, which to kind
Speaker 1: of backtrack like that is not usually a good thing.
Speaker 1: And he did say this morning on one or five
Speaker 1: out three the fan was shot at r J. He
Speaker 1: was like, well, well, he says, if he keeps progressing,
Speaker 1: he should be okay. And that to me was the
Speaker 1: kind of the thing where it's like, okay, well, it's
Speaker 1: not just a blanket. Yeah, we think he'll be fine.
Speaker 1: It's like they got to see something from him today
Speaker 1: and tomorrow that makes him think he'll be okay, because
Speaker 1: where he is right now may not be enough purely
Speaker 1: anecdotal and purely subjective. But he had a press conference yesterday.
Speaker 1: I mean, if they were that worried about it, I
Speaker 1: feel like he wouldn't do it. He would like they
Speaker 1: would Guy again, you know if you're out, yes, yes, sorry,
Speaker 1: trayvon Dix Tyre and press conference is kind of a
Speaker 1: waste of everybody's time. And so I mean if they were,
Speaker 1: if they were super duper worried about it, I just don't.
Speaker 1: I don't think they let him do that same thing
Speaker 1: a few weeks ago, everybody was worried about Randy. He
Speaker 1: was out of practice, jogging around having fun with everybody.
Speaker 1: Zeke too. I mean last week kind of just reading
Speaker 1: context clues, I am cautiously optimistic that they'll play What
Speaker 1: do we know about Demante Hazy and Donald Wilson CAZy.
Speaker 1: He's like, I'm fine, I'm all right, no big deal whatever.
Speaker 1: Again he talked to the media yesterday. Donovan, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know how to feel about him. Um what,
Speaker 1: this is his first week practicing since the opener. They
Speaker 1: didn't put him on IR, so like they don't have
Speaker 1: to activate him or anything, and maybe maybe they feel
Speaker 1: more pressure to play him if Casey can't play, but
Speaker 1: he can, so I don't know. I don't know. I've
Speaker 1: maybe leaned toward thinking, you you know, you got to
Speaker 1: buy right there. You'd bring him back for Minnesota, but
Speaker 1: you want good players available, So if it feels good
Speaker 1: enough to play, maybe you try it. I don't know
Speaker 1: I'm gonna happen here, especially like the next week or
Speaker 1: the next game. You know, if Kelvin Joseph comes back
Speaker 1: and he's ready to play, and he's practiced in this week,
Speaker 1: but maybe ready to the next game, and then Donovan
Speaker 1: Wilson's back, I mean, somebody's gonna be inactive here. They
Speaker 1: haven't had to make an issue every I mean because
Speaker 1: obviously mquamu and Nashan. Yeah, but feel like there needs
Speaker 1: to be another one. And that's going to be interesting
Speaker 1: if if one of those guys. This is interesting, no
Speaker 1: one who is it a safety? Is it? I mean,
Speaker 1: because everyone's playing pretty well. I mean, Kazy's played well.
Speaker 1: I'm Lily Cookers starting to really turn the corner and
Speaker 1: get lean on Kennedy for special teams too. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: might be the one Kennedy, But I mean has he
Speaker 1: played a lot of special teams? I don't know his
Speaker 1: saf like, he doesn't stand out, like he's not one
Speaker 1: of the gunner guys like Cedric Wilson, who's we'll go
Speaker 1: back to a lot of special teams when Michael Gallop
Speaker 1: comes back, So you could get away with making him
Speaker 1: an active yeah, if you wanted to. All Right, here's
Speaker 1: what we're gonna do. We're gonna go and take our
Speaker 1: first break. When we come back, We're gonna get into
Speaker 1: a couple of storylines. I think the big storyline for
Speaker 1: this week is, if you're Belichick, what do you choose
Speaker 1: to try to take away from the Cowboys. We'll talk
Speaker 1: about that when we come right back. This is Dallas

Speaker 1: with Great Life from the s WBC Mortgage Studios. At
Speaker 1: the start, we're talking cowboys versus Patriots and the big
Speaker 1: storyline for this week. I think most weeks we got
Speaker 1: like five, six seven storylines. I think there's one big
Speaker 1: storyline this week. You look at the Patriots, you look
Speaker 1: at the coach. They are notorious and they are very
Speaker 1: very good at taking away at least that one thing
Speaker 1: that their opponents want to be able to do. The
Speaker 1: question becomes, what does Belichick decide that that is that thing?
Speaker 1: For the Cowboys. I'll start with you, Nick. Where do
Speaker 1: you think they go on this? We've already had a
Speaker 1: nice argument today about this on radio show, so um,
Speaker 1: I mean I think they start with and basically what
Speaker 1: I've said. I said this on yesterday's media match. I mean,
Speaker 1: if you want to know what the identity of the
Speaker 1: team is, I mean Bill Belichick's gonna tell you here
Speaker 1: pretty soon. But what he is going to try to
Speaker 1: take away, I mean I think you still got to
Speaker 1: try to take away the run. But I mean, that's
Speaker 1: it's the problem is you just can't take away one
Speaker 1: thing because they will kick your ass in the other stuff.
Speaker 1: They've shown that, so you know, but I still think
Speaker 1: if they just gonna say we're not gonna let Dac
Speaker 1: beat us, We're gonna let him run, that's gonna be
Speaker 1: a blood bath. So that's what I think. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think I think I agree. We talked about that leading
Speaker 1: into the week of like somebody eventually is gonna batten
Speaker 1: down the hatches and try to stop the Cowboys from running, right,
Speaker 1: and Belichick has the personnel to do that, I think, well,
Speaker 1: that's what they do regular I don't know if they
Speaker 1: have the personnel to just completely shut it down. You know,
Speaker 1: I'll believe somebody can hold the Cowboys under one hundred
Speaker 1: as a team when I see it happen. But one twenty,
Speaker 1: I think that's probably a win when you're considering the
Speaker 1: level of opposition and it's never just one thing right
Speaker 1: like on third downs. I'm sure they'll kind of revert
Speaker 1: to that classic Patriots man cover one, cover zero, maybe
Speaker 1: even try to, you know, especially if Tyrann Smith is
Speaker 1: gimpy or god forbid, if he doesn't play in this game.
Speaker 1: I think there's some wins you can find in pass protection.
Speaker 1: But if I was Bill Belichick, I would probably try
Speaker 1: to commit to the run more than a lot of
Speaker 1: people have, because I think some of these teams have
Speaker 1: just outright given it up, in my opinion, and it's
Speaker 1: gotten them killed. But I think that's kind of the
Speaker 1: key here, is that the base of what they do,
Speaker 1: which is at cover one, bring that other safety down
Speaker 1: that gives you what you want really to be able
Speaker 1: to stop the run putting eight men in the box.
Speaker 1: My question is are they good enough even with eight
Speaker 1: men in the box to stop the Cowboys from running?
Speaker 1: Because I think there have been other teams that the
Speaker 1: Cowboys have played the last few weeks that, in certain
Speaker 1: situations had eight men in the box. I just don't
Speaker 1: know that it's worked. I think right now they're just
Speaker 1: playing at such a high level running the ball, it's
Speaker 1: gonna be difficult for them to stop them. They don't
Speaker 1: run conventionally, That's that's the thing. I mean, they can
Speaker 1: with with Zeke, but but you know, they run the ball,
Speaker 1: and you know on the outside they run with you know,
Speaker 1: sweeps and reverses and things with Pollard out there, so
Speaker 1: um they they you. I mean, yeah, you can put
Speaker 1: eight guys in the box, but still there's ways to
Speaker 1: run around that. But I just it's not an easy
Speaker 1: solution at all because and that's what we're seeing, that's
Speaker 1: why we're seeing Dalton Schultz have so much success because
Speaker 1: they're trying to figure out how to stop the run.
Speaker 1: They kind of stop in the past, and then Charltz
Speaker 1: is just open right in the middle, and they're gonna
Speaker 1: have to just keep doing that. I mean, and Belichick
Speaker 1: mentioned his name a couple times in the press conference.
Speaker 1: There's no way they're going to try to stop him. Well,
Speaker 1: if they were, I don't think Belichick will be mentioning
Speaker 1: his name bunch of times in a press conference, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, like that's that's vintage Belichick, kind of laying
Speaker 1: out there, kind of what you what he wants you
Speaker 1: to know, and then he's going to do something different. Right,
Speaker 1: he said the name of every person on this offense
Speaker 1: at one point. I mean, he basically just gushed about
Speaker 1: how great they are for five minutes the other day,
Speaker 1: which is what he does, no mean standards. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: he does that, Like again, this is a this is
Speaker 1: a that's a thing that when you accomplish what he
Speaker 1: has accomplished, you can have your own adjective for sure. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Like this is a common thing I think among NFL coaches.
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett used to do it all the time. You
Speaker 1: spend you know, five minutes just going on and on
Speaker 1: about the opponent, no matter how good or how bad
Speaker 1: they are. You find all the things that you think
Speaker 1: are good about them, whether you can make a case
Speaker 1: or somewhat good about them, and then you talk about
Speaker 1: them publicly Like that question is what is he saying
Speaker 1: behind the scenes, like this is the guy we really
Speaker 1: need to Is he really going behind the scenes with
Speaker 1: his team and saying, man, we got to worry about
Speaker 1: this Sheltz guy. Or is he saying, hey, stop Zeke,
Speaker 1: Like stop Zeke, stop Pollard and we got a shot.
Speaker 1: That's our only shot, right, I think you gotta worry
Speaker 1: about everybody. And going back to your question this, I
Speaker 1: don't think. I keep trying to play different scenarios in
Speaker 1: my head, but I just don't see them being able
Speaker 1: to completely shut down the Cowboys offense, especially how they've
Speaker 1: been playing. The only way I see this going bad
Speaker 1: is what I mentioned yesterday is that if they go
Speaker 1: out there and the Cowboys themselves walk out and start
Speaker 1: a game, all sloppy create mistakes, I think lose the ball.
Speaker 1: Zike did it last game, and it wasn't necessarily fully
Speaker 1: his It was was it that had two turnovers, our
Speaker 1: interception in a fumble, dropped a snap, But was there
Speaker 1: a play where Zick recently but I had seem for
Speaker 1: some reason. But either way, the point is keeping the ball,
Speaker 1: making sure that they don't go out being sloppy, which
Speaker 1: I don't think should happen because the Cowboys, I mean,
Speaker 1: they've been walking out there and just being confident in
Speaker 1: the way they played and the fact that they are
Speaker 1: winning games. It just kind of builds you up even more.
Speaker 1: And I don't know if it's just me because I
Speaker 1: haven't been around here for a while, but based on
Speaker 1: the things that I've seen on the TV and you
Speaker 1: guys know, I always like to watch body language. They
Speaker 1: have a different kind of energy, like they're energized right now.
Speaker 1: And last game they started out even walking on the
Speaker 1: sideline I saw and I was gonna text to you guys,
Speaker 1: I'm like, this is not gonna start out good. They're
Speaker 1: walking around with nowhere energy and they did look sloppy.
Speaker 1: Not to give me credit, but hey, I know a
Speaker 1: thing or two about body language, which Will McLay has
Speaker 1: kind of gotten me into that because they look around
Speaker 1: that's how they really evaluate players, you know. But anyways,
Speaker 1: my point is this game is gonna come down to
Speaker 1: Cowboys themselves and not necessarily what the Patriots are gonna
Speaker 1: do against them. Traymon Digs actually kind of the unks
Speaker 1: that theory because his body language is that he's hurt,
Speaker 1: he's tired, and he's old, and then he's actually like
Speaker 1: and then next play he takes. He's the best cornerback
Speaker 1: in the league right now. He might be doing this week.
Speaker 1: I don't know. If I had to take it into
Speaker 1: another level trying to put money on it today, I
Speaker 1: think he plays. Yeah, it's based on nothing other than hunch.
Speaker 1: I just know this. If they go into this game
Speaker 1: and they say, hey, we're gonna really focus on stopping
Speaker 1: the run, which any team can stop most other teams
Speaker 1: if they want to dedicate enough resources to it. If
Speaker 1: they're willing to do that, that means they're gonna be
Speaker 1: a lot of guys running around the field with one
Speaker 1: guy trying to cover them. I think Dak will have
Speaker 1: a freaking field day. Yeah, he will light them up.
Speaker 1: If they're just gonna go man against CD or against Cooper, like,
Speaker 1: I just think there's there's not they would be just
Speaker 1: as hard pressed to win that game as if they
Speaker 1: decided they were going to do the opposite and say
Speaker 1: we're just gonna let him run on us. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't think that they can just take anything away.
Speaker 1: I think almost you have to play it straight up here,
Speaker 1: and that's not really what he does. And then he'll
Speaker 1: figure it out. He build it up enough to wear. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you have to try to keep him guessing, but there's
Speaker 1: there's no way freaking fun is fun. It's been a
Speaker 1: long time. It's been a while since we're over here
Speaker 1: trying to figure out how can a team take down
Speaker 1: the Cowboys offense? How can Bill Belichick the Cowboys? What's
Speaker 1: he gonna do? What is Belichick gonna do to stop
Speaker 1: the Cowboys? This is where I always think if I
Speaker 1: were in a like if I were in a coma
Speaker 1: and then I woke up and you always just decided
Speaker 1: to just show up to work one day, and you
Speaker 1: guys are talking, I'm like, what, Bill Bellett. You're trying
Speaker 1: to wonder how Bill Belichick can shut down? Belichick doesn't
Speaker 1: have any players. He's gonna have it figured out, and

Speaker 1: You got a game for us, Let's go I got
Speaker 1: a lot of questions, so let's see how many we
Speaker 1: can get through. So earlier we were talking about the
Speaker 1: safety position. Actually, and let's say these guys are bad,
Speaker 1: healthy and able to play. How are you guys currently feeling?
Speaker 1: This is not a cr no, this is mine question.
Speaker 1: Okay though, and then we'll get into fans, But how
Speaker 1: are you guys actually currently feeling about the safety position? Overall?
Speaker 1: I know Dave and I have been complaining about it forever,
Speaker 1: better than I have in the entire time that I've
Speaker 1: covered this team. Wow, it's a long time, because that's
Speaker 1: not even that thank you, and it's not even that
Speaker 1: strong of a statement when you think about it, like
Speaker 1: they've sucked at safety this whole time. But that's why
Speaker 1: why it actually is the strong No, exactly, that's what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Well, you're right, but I guess what I'm
Speaker 1: saying is it's not a high bar to pass, but
Speaker 1: they're pretty high above where I figured the bar would be. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and especially when you effect they just put some resources
Speaker 1: in it as well, even though they were banked up.
Speaker 1: They were like, we're gonna take Mali Cooker, We're gonna
Speaker 1: take Demonte Casey and they're coming off of injuries, and
Speaker 1: but they they've been good players, and you know, we're
Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna take ja run curse, We're gonna take
Speaker 1: you know, Kean O'Neill, make him a linebacker. We're gonna
Speaker 1: do all these things and just kind of bet on them.
Speaker 1: And they've all kind of worked out. You know, they've
Speaker 1: all sort of come back from injury. They've played as well.
Speaker 1: I don't think we've seen Kean O'Neill play as as
Speaker 1: great as he's been before. He's playing in a new
Speaker 1: position too. This may not be the best position for him.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I'm just saying they kind of
Speaker 1: bet on them, and they those guys bet on themselves.
Speaker 1: Were signing one year deals and so far it is
Speaker 1: kind of worked out. But it seems like they've put
Speaker 1: these kinds of resources, Like none of those guys were
Speaker 1: highly touted free agents that they signed. These were all
Speaker 1: like one year deal kind of guys that you're gonna
Speaker 1: take a flyer. It seems like they've done that in
Speaker 1: the past. The difference this year is that they actually
Speaker 1: worked out right. It's no seriously, I think of the
Speaker 1: names though, I thought that too but I'm like, but who,
Speaker 1: I can't think of anyone like that, ha ha ha. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Will Allen, we thought I actually had more hopes for
Speaker 1: haha than I have for any of these guys coming in,
Speaker 1: and he just blamed out that's because of you didn't
Speaker 1: have high hopes for these guys, because of because of him,
Speaker 1: You're like, Wow, this guy I just think by I mean,
Speaker 1: I got here in thirteen and every year they signed
Speaker 1: these types of deals, and they're usually either outright bad
Speaker 1: or just passable players. And I think all of these
Speaker 1: guys are playing above that. I mean, and they're all
Speaker 1: playing pretty good. I mean, nobody's lighting the world on fire.
Speaker 1: I mean, Demante Casey's had some turnovers there by the
Speaker 1: goal line that have been difference maker plays, but everyone
Speaker 1: curses made some plays. Jay. Yeah, he's on a different level.
Speaker 1: He's not even safety anymore, really, is he. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's kind of I guess he. Yeah, that guy's been
Speaker 1: one of the best. Yeah, Malie Cooker. I mean, but
Speaker 1: they're playing themselves into a possible contract, and maybe, just
Speaker 1: maybe this their success is a direct reflection of the
Speaker 1: guy that's orchestrating all of this. Maybe he just knows
Speaker 1: how to use these pieces in the right ways that
Speaker 1: other teams have not been able to use them in
Speaker 1: that way to get the most out of them. He
Speaker 1: knows how to get pressure. And when you get sure,
Speaker 1: you can have really good secondary play. And if you've
Speaker 1: got great secondary players like you had in Seattle and
Speaker 1: you get pressure, then you then they get a nickname,
Speaker 1: and then they're really great and they go to the
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl and all that. It's not gonna be Hot
Speaker 1: Boys though, No, no, no, no no. I think the
Speaker 1: Hub Boys it's still lingering. There's still changed. So I
Speaker 1: mean they're changed, but nobody's nobody's playing. I mean the
Speaker 1: only I mean the two the two holdovers from the
Speaker 1: Hot Boys there are both hurt right now, so Da
Speaker 1: and DeMarcus. So well, I don't know why we're talking
Speaker 1: about this. I don't want to think about it. So
Speaker 1: we need it. We want to think about that. Stop.
Speaker 1: I think I didn't catch what you forgot one more upstairs, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm saying, well, I mean we work with former players.
Speaker 1: I was like, Barry Church wasn't a hot boy like
Speaker 1: I was, very no, but Barry Churches number forty two.
Speaker 1: So I'm just gonna throw that there. I want to
Speaker 1: throw forty two, episode forty two Barry Church. We did
Speaker 1: it for Danny's door. For Barry. I mean, I'd like
Speaker 1: to put Troy Hambrick in there, but it's Barry Church.
Speaker 1: Church is the guy you just want to get Troy
Speaker 1: Hamberg in. Huh yeah, all right, yeah, all right, let's
Speaker 1: get into sion. No, we haven't talked much about well,
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy. Do you think that he who serves as
Speaker 1: much credit as more and Quinn as much seat. Yes, see,
Speaker 1: I'll say he's the head coach, very reluctant. Well nothing,
Speaker 1: I mean nothing else. He hired them, which men, he
Speaker 1: made the right choices in letting them do what they do.
Speaker 1: That's just it's not I hesitated because it's not an
Speaker 1: easy yes or no question. I mean we did a
Speaker 1: whole segment about that on like Monday or Tuesday. So
Speaker 1: I'll say, see, there's more to it than that. But
Speaker 1: you can go back to the Tuesday show and just
Speaker 1: listen to that conversation. Yeah, all right, this next one,
Speaker 1: this is getting way of the season and everything. But whatever,
Speaker 1: it's no, no, no more. Will he be the offensive
Speaker 1: coordinator next year? For the it all as Cowboys ceo.
Speaker 1: No no, see No, I don't know. I don't see
Speaker 1: unless unless Jerry has a way of convincing him that
Speaker 1: he needs to stay here, whether that be by money
Speaker 1: or there's a well yeah, but that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: If he if he has a way to convince him,
Speaker 1: I have no doubt that he is going to get
Speaker 1: an opportunity to be a head coach somewhere. I would
Speaker 1: put I would put a lot of money on it
Speaker 1: gets I don't know if we've specifically talked about that,
Speaker 1: but Jerry has ways of holding on to people that
Speaker 1: he wants to hold onto money and let's spell that
Speaker 1: out and then so factor in and we could probably
Speaker 1: do we could do a segment on that, but like,
Speaker 1: what jobs are going to become available in the off
Speaker 1: season and are they better than running this offense for
Speaker 1: another year? I just put it this way. I don't
Speaker 1: think it's as cut and dry as a lot of
Speaker 1: people make it out to be. I think Jerry has
Speaker 1: ways of keeping people he wants to keep. I think
Speaker 1: Kellen is a very smart guy who recognizes what he's
Speaker 1: got here. And unless it's just in a amazing opportunity
Speaker 1: and I know that as your as your buddy. All okay,
Speaker 1: well that's all well and good. I think Kellen smart
Speaker 1: enough to be like, I think I'd rather sit around
Speaker 1: here and do this for another year than coach the
Speaker 1: Houston Texans. I'm not saying that job's going to be
Speaker 1: coome available fresh. What are the jobs? And there we go,
Speaker 1: perfect drop, what are the opportunities And if, let's say,
Speaker 1: if it's not the exact right spot, like a team
Speaker 1: with a quarterback or the right amount of draft capital,
Speaker 1: I could see him being like, no, I can buy
Speaker 1: my time and wait another year. We're gonna kick ass
Speaker 1: next year too. But what we know about the NFL,
Speaker 1: there'll be six, seven, maybe eight teams that'll be available,
Speaker 1: and there will be some of those where they have
Speaker 1: a pretty good situation going on. At least they may
Speaker 1: have a quarterback that's young, and he feels like I
Speaker 1: can develop those guys. Like they're gonna be opportunities. And
Speaker 1: that's why I say, and you look at it. Every year,
Speaker 1: teams that do really really well. Um typically, if if
Speaker 1: whatever side of the ball is doing the best, that
Speaker 1: coordinator is going to be a hot name. And this
Speaker 1: is now, not just one years, a couple of years
Speaker 1: of him being able to do things that people a
Speaker 1: kind of saying that's pretty good. Well, I just don't
Speaker 1: think it's as obvious that he's gone as a lot
Speaker 1: of people like to talk about it right now. But
Speaker 1: we'll see. Well, the question becomes decide to go to college.
Speaker 1: I think I just I don't want that to happen
Speaker 1: because it might end up at you're alma mater. But
Speaker 1: I think that's a possibility Kellen going to college. I
Speaker 1: don't think he wants that to find out. He didn't
Speaker 1: last year though, I mean that was sort of on
Speaker 1: the kind of what other job? But I mean, I
Speaker 1: mean that's well, I mean, there are better jobs than boys. Stay,
Speaker 1: let's be honest. I don't know. I don't know jobs. Yes,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I mean, well, let's talk
Speaker 1: about let's talk about job. The first thing, get money,
Speaker 1: Like the amount of money they can pay is not
Speaker 1: what's some other programs pay. I mean, but I'll tell
Speaker 1: some job though, And you know the part of it
Speaker 1: too is it's not just the program, it's also the job.
Speaker 1: So he's gonna I mean, you walk into boys, you
Speaker 1: win games. I mean pretty much. I mean, and you
Speaker 1: got to you gotta try to lose games over there,
Speaker 1: so you're gonna you got you got a good job.
Speaker 1: It's steady. I guarantee there's money over there for him,
Speaker 1: But you might ever playing that's a better championship. So
Speaker 1: it depends on what your goals are. Yeah, like if
Speaker 1: you want to be at the top of college football,
Speaker 1: that's not the program. But like, okay, for instance, like LSU,
Speaker 1: Like what's a better job? LSU job or the Boise
Speaker 1: State job? What's a better job? I think when you
Speaker 1: say job, what do you mean? That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: That's why I'm saying, like not a program and all
Speaker 1: that you can win a national championship with arguably the
Speaker 1: greatest team ever built in college football and be fired
Speaker 1: in two years because it's hard to keep feeding the monster.
Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying. But I don't think any coach
Speaker 1: thinks that way. Like, no coach is like, well, in
Speaker 1: two years when I suck, they'll throw me out. They're like, no,
Speaker 1: I'm amazing, I'm gonna always. That's what I'm saying, though,
Speaker 1: I think that that if he really wanted to college football,
Speaker 1: I think you know, if that's what he wanted, I
Speaker 1: think that's what he would have done, right. Then. I
Speaker 1: think he's trying to get it in like this. And
Speaker 1: also I said no as to the offensive coordinator and
Speaker 1: say it was gone as a whole. Wow. There, that's
Speaker 1: a whole different liar strikes back. I don't think Callen
Speaker 1: Moore wants to coach college football. I'll happily eat Crowe
Speaker 1: if I'm wrong. You know who should be coaching college football?
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett. Yeah, I'm with you on that. I think
Speaker 1: he would be an outstanding college football coach. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: here's the deal, the right program, on the right job, right.
Speaker 1: My only point is that he's going to have options. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And so when you ask a question like that, I'm like,
Speaker 1: he's got a ton of options, And that to me
Speaker 1: says that the likelihood of him staying unless Jerry's willing
Speaker 1: to say, well here, I'm going to pony up to
Speaker 1: keep you here, one of those options could be like
Speaker 1: a five hundred percent raise to stay right where he is.
Speaker 1: There we go. I'm just saying, if Jerry makes it, Bige,
Speaker 1: that's not going to happen. I stole it. I stole
Speaker 1: this point from Bob Stern, So credit to him. He
Speaker 1: does a great job. But like the salary cap prevent
Speaker 1: you know, the Cowboys can't use all of their monetary
Speaker 1: advantages to get talent here, it's against the rules, and
Speaker 1: do whatever they want to keep coaches. There's nothing and
Speaker 1: Jerry's got deeper pockets than just about anybody, so he
Speaker 1: could damn near name his price. And I don't get
Speaker 1: the impression Mike McCarthy like, I don't think Mike McCarthy's
Speaker 1: gonna be like mad that Kellen Moore is getting all
Speaker 1: this mond. I'm just say I just think I think
Speaker 1: it's premature to just assume he's gone. That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 1: He makes more than the head coach. Then that's anyways.
Speaker 1: Next question, yeah, speak of it. Next question it should
Speaker 1: be the other side of the ball. Well, I was
Speaker 1: gonna ask, because I've gone a few questions on this
Speaker 1: um trades. Do you guys should the guy the Cowboys
Speaker 1: make any trades before the deadline? See, you know, um,
Speaker 1: it's hard. You know, it's hard to talk about players,
Speaker 1: obviously you can't really do that. But other teams, other teams,
Speaker 1: but the position wise, I mean then then the question
Speaker 1: is is what what could they it? You know, what
Speaker 1: position could they upgrade? And that's it. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: it's such a case by case thing, like they don't
Speaker 1: need to trade for a lot of stuff. Like the
Speaker 1: one thing that's blinking like a light is if there
Speaker 1: was a cornerback that could be had for the right price.
Speaker 1: That's not what I thought, y'all. I thought you guys
Speaker 1: say center, Oh no, whatever, I don't it's not. I'm
Speaker 1: not as worried about that as y'all are. When did
Speaker 1: when did this happen? Right? Because of that? No, but
Speaker 1: like we're we're we're we're in, like, yeah, do I
Speaker 1: have issue with the way that they handled it, sure,
Speaker 1: but like they're in, we're into it now. Okay, but
Speaker 1: we were We've now heard the coach and we've now
Speaker 1: heard that the owner boats say this week, Yeah there
Speaker 1: was some there are some problems happening, all right. He's
Speaker 1: a young player. That's not like whatever. I don't think
Speaker 1: it's bad enough that they need to trade. That's all
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Okay, if there was a Connor Williams on
Speaker 1: another team, and I mean a four year guy, he starts,
Speaker 1: he's gonna be a free agent, and they don't know
Speaker 1: if they're going to resign them or not on a
Speaker 1: team that's not four and one and and you know,
Speaker 1: has higher expectations. If if, if say there's a center
Speaker 1: like that with an expiring contract, this I could see,
Speaker 1: you know, because those teams are like, might as well
Speaker 1: trade them, get something for him other than maybe you know,
Speaker 1: letting them go next year and just getting a compensatory
Speaker 1: in two years, Maybe we trade them. And because those
Speaker 1: are the contracts you trade, you trade guys that kind
Speaker 1: of at the end of their deal, Which is why
Speaker 1: I and it don't know any player. I don't know
Speaker 1: names like that. If I did, I wouldn't say them.
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying there could be something like No,
Speaker 1: I have no issue with the question, but it's incredibly
Speaker 1: hard to answer, because you gotta I I it's a
Speaker 1: it's hard enough keeping track of the contract situations of
Speaker 1: everybody here. I don't know the intricacies of like who's
Speaker 1: an above average center who's got an expiring deal? Like,
Speaker 1: I have no idea, So yeah, if but if if
Speaker 1: there's a if there's an upgrade for Tyler biadis who
Speaker 1: could be had for Day three. Pick sure and do
Speaker 1: it that seems implausible, do it, do it Monday, to
Speaker 1: do it Thursday when Dave's probably on by week and
Speaker 1: went to hang out after Thursday. Yeah, day if you're
Speaker 1: gonna make any move, any move, you know, and get
Speaker 1: somebody in that really needs to know the system and
Speaker 1: figure it all out. I mean, you would like that,
Speaker 1: you think you could be this week. But you know,
Speaker 1: I think that's also the thing too, Like when you
Speaker 1: look at this team, there aren't a lot of positions
Speaker 1: that right now, as you sit, you're like, man, they
Speaker 1: got issues with depth. This isn't a surprisingly I don't
Speaker 1: even want to call them a deep team because that's
Speaker 1: hard to say in today's I'm saying that's relatively speaking,
Speaker 1: like there's no such thing as depth in the NFL
Speaker 1: anymore in my opinion, just because of the way that
Speaker 1: it's all structured. But I think as far as the
Speaker 1: way it is right now, it relatively speaking, it's about
Speaker 1: as deep as an NFL team can be. And so
Speaker 1: I don't I'm having a hard time finding a position
Speaker 1: where I'm I'm like, yeah, you got enough depth to
Speaker 1: where you can get rid of a guy and not
Speaker 1: experience something on the back end of losing that play. Well,
Speaker 1: they're already and that's why I'm kind of take issue
Speaker 1: with it, because they're already leaning on that death like
Speaker 1: they're not. They don't. They're missing a starting receiver, they're
Speaker 1: missing their right tack and missing they're starting end. They're
Speaker 1: not hurt by that because they're gonna no. No, we're
Speaker 1: saying saying, I know, we're saying the same thing. I
Speaker 1: don't think that. And this is all relatively speaking. I'm
Speaker 1: thinking of depth from a standpoint of like nineties NFL football,
Speaker 1: Like they're not deep like that, Like you just don't
Speaker 1: you just talk. We just talked about it. The guys
Speaker 1: that they have here who are playing well at safety,
Speaker 1: Let's say, for example, those guys are all on one
Speaker 1: year deals. They were kind of guys that you didn't
Speaker 1: know what you were gonna get when you got them,
Speaker 1: and they're just like playing above that at this point.
Speaker 1: So that gives you a little bit of a little
Speaker 1: bit of depth. But all I'm saying is, at the
Speaker 1: end of the day, this is a team that doesn't
Speaker 1: have I don't think right now I look at it
Speaker 1: and say I need to necessarily just improve the improve
Speaker 1: the team by by jet jettas which someone and okay,
Speaker 1: I mean Tyler beatist. If y'all people have issue with him,
Speaker 1: that's fine. But they have two guys that have been
Speaker 1: working at center again. They didn't handle it right. I'm
Speaker 1: not backtracking on that. They I wish they had a
Speaker 1: more experienced option, but as the season goes, Tyler plays
Speaker 1: more McGovern and Williams are getting snaps in practice, so
Speaker 1: I would imagine they say, we feel all right about that.
Speaker 1: And the same thing goes for Corner. As much as
Speaker 1: people hate Anthony Brown, Kelvin Joseph is practicing again, they're
Speaker 1: like he's on his way. Players at Corner. I don't
Speaker 1: think that's what I'm saying. It's like, I think that
Speaker 1: they probably feel good that they've got adequate depth behind
Speaker 1: their problem spots that they're like, we'll write this thing out.
Speaker 1: I was just gonna say that to me. Even the
Speaker 1: few areas that they do have depth, those are areas
Speaker 1: that I wouldn't want to touch it or mess with
Speaker 1: it because the guys are kind of pretty decent back
Speaker 1: behind the starters. So it's like, you know, we haven't
Speaker 1: had that kind of comfort with the Cowboys so in
Speaker 1: a while. So now that you kind of have it
Speaker 1: some cushion there in some positions, I'm like, don't touch it.
Speaker 1: Just so somebody calls and says that, hey, one of
Speaker 1: these receivers, you've got Gal coming back, one of these receivers.
Speaker 1: What if it would y'all trade you? Like you're saying, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't want to mess with that. I don't. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I would tell you to kick rocks unless it was
Speaker 1: for an amazing price. But here, here's the thing about
Speaker 1: about be honest that I think you have to you
Speaker 1: have to to discuss and I'm I'm uneasy about it.
Speaker 1: I've been uneasy about it the whole time. But not
Speaker 1: to sound like a hypocrite, But last year, if if
Speaker 1: we were all out sitting right there saying this Terrence
Speaker 1: Steel thing, this isn't working, this is not working. I
Speaker 1: don't know what they're doing, but they keep playing this guy.
Speaker 1: And now a year later, it's like, is he better
Speaker 1: than Lyle? Is he? You know? Like there's Lyle? Really?
Speaker 1: I mean, which I think I think Lyle should come back.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying he's playing at that level where you
Speaker 1: don't even know if we fast forward even the end
Speaker 1: of this year or next year, And be honest, is
Speaker 1: at that that point you know you gotta trust Joe Philman,
Speaker 1: you gotta trust the process here. But because we were
Speaker 1: sitting here a year ago thinking Terren Steele wasn't a
Speaker 1: good option, I think that's a fair point. And well,
Speaker 1: Terren Steele as Terren Steele was bad enough that he
Speaker 1: was ruining games. Tyler beodest is not like, let's be
Speaker 1: must be fair like the function of the position. At
Speaker 1: the position, he's the weak link of the offensive line.
Speaker 1: Right now, they are playing at an incredibly high level
Speaker 1: with him in there, like he's not ruining their game plans. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we gotta get out of here. But I'm gonna tell you,
Speaker 1: I actually am more concerned about the depth at the
Speaker 1: tackle position right now, just because I look at this
Speaker 1: down the stretching, I'm like, man, what happens if you
Speaker 1: know you already got one tackle that's been out on suspension,
Speaker 1: so you know, reliability, I don't know. And then you
Speaker 1: look at the other tackle and now is next starting
Speaker 1: to bother him again? And so that's why it's that's
Speaker 1: what tackle I get even really worried because I'm like,
Speaker 1: I do not want to see Ty and Seki out there.
Speaker 1: Stop trying to move guys to guard, right, I think
Speaker 1: you just stick with what you got. I'm not necessarily
Speaker 1: trying to trade anybody. Let's stickle what you got and
Speaker 1: see how a lot long you can ride this out
Speaker 1: and see how far you can go with him. All right,
Speaker 1: we appreciate you, guys. Jonas will be back. Not predicting
Speaker 1: the game. Oh yeah, yeah, okay, real quick, My god, well,
Speaker 1: we gotta get out of here. Wait, they can't wait.
Speaker 1: It's Friday. Okay, we predict the game. Yeah. I just told,
Speaker 1: like all time great Cowboy offensive lineman, he can wait.
Speaker 1: I think this game is going to be I think
Speaker 1: this game is gonna be a lot like the twenty
Speaker 1: fifteen game against the Patriots. If you don't remember that,
Speaker 1: I don't blame you. The Cowboys are gonna win this
Speaker 1: game by two or three possessions, but the final score
Speaker 1: is not going to indicate how scrappy and tough that
Speaker 1: it was. I I just I don't think they have
Speaker 1: the firepower to keep up with Dallas, and eventually it'll
Speaker 1: pull away. I say, thirty one thirty one fourteen final score,
Speaker 1: which looks lopsided, but it'll be like a one possession
Speaker 1: game into the late third, early fourth. Okay, I looked
Speaker 1: at it and I said, all right, it's thirty four
Speaker 1: or the nineteen is the average points per game? That's
Speaker 1: what's Cowboys Patriots. Ever than this, I'm gonna take a
Speaker 1: field goal here and give it here thirty one twenty two.
Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys will kick their ass. I don't
Speaker 1: know if he'll show I kind of I kind of
Speaker 1: disagree with it. I think they'll kick their ass. I
Speaker 1: don't think the score will will show as much either way.
Speaker 1: Thirty one twenty two. Right, ever, I agree with that,
Speaker 1: but the fact that the Cowboys will kind of dominate them,
Speaker 1: but the score would be for me twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1: But you'll be a fun game, giving me a nice
Speaker 1: welcome back to enjoy it, finally fully enjoy it. But yes,
Speaker 1: Cowboys win for sure. I think this game is gonna
Speaker 1: look a little bit different than you guys think. I
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be a game where Dallas early. I
Speaker 1: think it's going to struggle a bit. I think he's
Speaker 1: gonna have something. I know. Belichick is Belichick. He's gonna
Speaker 1: have something that's going to baffle them for a little bit.
Speaker 1: I also trust in the fact that with their offensive coordinator,
Speaker 1: they will figure out a way to eventually get role
Speaker 1: and I think they'll end up scoring some points, but
Speaker 1: it won't be to the level that they've been scoring
Speaker 1: before this season. I think that the final score will
Speaker 1: be somewhere in the range of like a twenty four
Speaker 1: thirteen game. Cowboys went comfortably, but in the first half.
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be a really tight game,
Speaker 1: and I think Dallas is gonna have some struggles. All right,
Speaker 1: we appreciate you joining us. We will be back Monday.
Speaker 1: We'll let you know what when right and wrong for
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Still then for Nick Eatman, Dave helm and
Speaker 1: Amber Garcia. I am Derek Eagleton. This has been The
