This morning's Friday? Oh doing guys? Seriously, 0:01:11.160 --> 0:01:17.080 it's Friday. We wanted Garrett to go first. Okay, good coach, great, awesome. 0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:19.200 I wish just one that's not good. You could have 0:01:19.280 --> 0:01:23.480 just a little bit of enthusiasm about anything. Honestly, Fridays 0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:26.800 during football season is one of my favorite things in 0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:29.320 the world. Like, I love Yeah, I really can tell that, right, 0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:33.960 I don't show enthusiasm bite me, sorry, Wow, Yeah, it's 0:01:33.959 --> 0:01:36.200 a little much. I love a little aggressive. I love 0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:39.760 Fridays during football season. Okay, there's an energy in the building. 0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:42.000 You know, you have tomorrow off, get to watch my 0:01:42.080 --> 0:01:46.280 college team lose, you know that. Like there's not as 0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:48.559 much going on on a Friday, Like I probably won't 0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:50.160 have to write as much as I do the other 0:01:50.200 --> 0:01:51.800 five days of the week. There was a lot of 0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:55.720 energy last week, last Friday, Friday. Yes I don't remember that, 0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:59.120 Yes you do. I do. You want to mention it? 0:01:59.600 --> 0:02:02.600 Why you were so energetic probably on Friday and the 0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:06.040 rest of the weekend. Oh, Friday afternoon, I thought you 0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:08.639 were being Friday on our show, No Friday Afternoon. We 0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:11.760 haven't talked about that. I think people know at this point, 0:02:11.840 --> 0:02:15.519 now how would they know? I tweeted it everyone. I 0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:17.760 put it out there and let everybody know. But last Friday, 0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:22.000 last Friday, last Friday Afternoon, we found out some pretty 0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:27.160 exciting news that we got nine nine Emmy nominations for 0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:32.800 some of the content we produced last year, including including 0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:36.640 each of our Blue documentaries from last year were nominated. 0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:42.560 Are finished this Fight campaign, which Kent was very involved in, Dave, 0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:46.720 you were very involved in that project, got three nominations. 0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:51.359 And then on and then we had Cover four, which 0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:54.160 is our new show that we started last year that 0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:57.040 got nominated in its first year in production. And then 0:02:57.080 --> 0:03:00.680 of course the Lovely Miss Amber Garcia was nominated once 0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:03.280 again for some almost Cowboys. Actually, you guys won last year, 0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:05.160 so you're the vets in the group. This is like 0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:08.839 nothing important to you, guys. You already have a trophy, right, Yeah, 0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:12.080 But it's still exciting, and I guess the serious even 0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:15.160 more exciting just because everyone is part of it now. 0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:18.240 So yeah, that's exciting, that is and I'm very excited. 0:03:18.280 --> 0:03:21.760 We'll find out the week of the Atlanta game November eleventh. 0:03:21.760 --> 0:03:24.720 I think it is. We'll find out how many we win. 0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:28.280 If we win, hopefully we'll get a few, and that'll 0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:31.959 be very exciting weekend, very exciting for nine. Huh, let's 0:03:32.000 --> 0:03:36.880 go for nine. Go for nine? Why not your finalist? 0:03:36.960 --> 0:03:38.560 How about nine? That would be that would be a 0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:41.400 good sweep. We could get nine. You know, Kent's names 0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:46.000 on four of them. Four yeah, yeah, So congratulations to 0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:48.800 Kent yep, Kent Stunna. Is that a phenomenal year? As 0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:50.560 as the whole group, I think, thank you. I did 0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:53.320 a lot this year, so really good. Trying to get 0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:56.200 that trophy. I don't care about nominations, I know, right, 0:03:56.320 --> 0:03:58.280 we want the trophies. Trying to get that trophy. And 0:03:58.400 --> 0:04:00.240 and the bad part about it is we all got 0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:02.680 to work that weekend in Atlanta, so there's a good 0:04:02.720 --> 0:04:04.400 chance that we won't even be able to be there 0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:06.440 to accept our own awards. We'll have to kind of 0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:09.000 do it from Atlanta. Can post your trophy from the 0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:11.080 Graham later in the week. It doesn't matter when you 0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:13.760 get it. It's fine. Yeah, So we'll figure it all out, 0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:15.520 all right. We appreciate you guys joining let's talk some 0:04:15.560 --> 0:04:20.400 Cowboys football. Let's first start with injuries. Yesterday, a few 0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:22.240 things that popped up on the injury report there were 0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:26.640 a little different than Thursday. Tyren Smith did not practice yesterday. 0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:30.440 He was limited the day before. Anthony Brown popped up 0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:33.479 on the injury report as a limited participant in practice 0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:35.960 with an injury. So let's start with some of the 0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:37.880 guys based upon the list. I'm gonna throw out a 0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:39.159 few names, and I want you guys to tell me 0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:41.159 what you're thinking and what you're hearing about them and 0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:43.640 the likelihood have been playing. Let's start first with Tyren Smith, 0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:48.839 who did not practice yesterday. I think that's becoming a 0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:52.080 big issue here. We'll find out today how much he 0:04:52.120 --> 0:04:55.840 does because if he misses another day of practice here, 0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:57.440 I think you're starting to say that this is going 0:04:57.520 --> 0:04:59.400 to be a setback. But if they're just figuring out 0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:01.600 ways to man and into this back injury that they've 0:05:01.760 --> 0:05:03.840 they've known about for a while, he kind of dealt 0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:06.280 with the training camp. They're just going to figure out 0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:08.960 ways to manage it. Then this is, I think Dave 0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:11.120 said yesterday, is something he's going to deal with probably 0:05:11.120 --> 0:05:14.360 for a long time. But The goal, obviously is to 0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:16.479 get him ready for Sunday, and this is kind of 0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:18.280 the way to do that. So I think if he 0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:20.640 doesn't practice today, I think it'll be a little bit 0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:22.920 more telling of how serious this is. If he can 0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:26.480 do something be limited, then he'll probably be out there, 0:05:26.520 --> 0:05:28.599 but only time will tell how effective that will be. 0:05:28.640 --> 0:05:31.280 He'll probably have to take like a shot or something. Yeah, 0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:33.279 I think day I'm not worried that he's not going 0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:35.480 to play. Do you think he's playing? Yeah, I don't. 0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:38.000 I think that likes This isn't as far as I 0:05:38.080 --> 0:05:40.520 understand it, This isn't disc related and I don't think 0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:43.440 he can make it worse by playing. So he's an 0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:45.160 all pro. I think they'll find a way to get 0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:47.080 him ready and then he's got a week off after 0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:51.120 this to get right. So I could be wrong, but 0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:53.279 I am leaning toward thinking he'll be there all right. 0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:55.799 Let's move on to Anthony Brown. Anthony Brown was limited 0:05:55.839 --> 0:05:58.839 participant yesterday in practice. He's first first time he's popped 0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:01.440 up on the injury for this week. What are you 0:06:01.520 --> 0:06:04.920 hearing and what do you think's gonna happen? Not? I 0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:06.960 just want to know why these guys keep getting hurt 0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:10.120 in practice. Yeah, it's three doing It's three in a week. 0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:14.159 It happens every Thursday. It seems like they're not on 0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:16.440 it on a Wednesday, but then Thursday they pop up. 0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:21.200 I don't know, but but those guys, I guess Chas 0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:24.159 Green did not play no Byron Jones a few weeks 0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:26.720 ago did And I would imagine Anthony Brown will play 0:06:27.440 --> 0:06:30.200 through this. But if not, you know, you have some 0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:31.919 you have a little bit of depth at corner. You 0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:34.520 can figure something out. But I would imagine that he's 0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:38.480 still gonna be able to do something in play. I agree. Okay, um, 0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:41.920 let's talk about Shaun Lee. He has not practiced all week, 0:06:41.960 --> 0:06:45.600 did not play last week. You thinking he's out now, Dave, 0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:51.440 I do why? Because this, like this is an injury 0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:53.320 that can't get worse if you try to play on 0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:58.200 it too soon. Hamstring hamstring, And you've got a bye 0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:00.400 week coming up, so he's got a chance to be 0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:03.520 to rest for three weeks and then hopefully this won't 0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:06.720 be an issue as opposed to force him out on 0:07:06.760 --> 0:07:09.040 the field and you get a quarter out of him 0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:12.440 and then it's worse and you don't have him until Thanksgiving. 0:07:13.760 --> 0:07:16.480 I could be and you know, again, never rule you 0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:18.600 should never rule out an All Pro player until he's 0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:22.679 officially ruled out. Those guys have remarkable ways of getting ready. 0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:27.760 But he hasn't done anything in two weeks football wise, 0:07:28.760 --> 0:07:31.200 and it's just I just don't have a lot of optimism. 0:07:31.320 --> 0:07:34.080 And honestly, I think it would be smart to give 0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:36.160 him that extra time, especially with the bye week. So 0:07:37.080 --> 0:07:42.120 I'm your agreeting, is it? I think? Yeah, I definitely 0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:45.760 agree that it's not looking good because for him, he's 0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:48.560 the guy that he needs to practice. You know. Now, 0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:51.760 he's one player who could go out without practicing and 0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:54.520 would be pretty effective because just all the preparation he does, 0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:56.920 but he can't really tell him that he knows that 0:07:56.960 --> 0:07:59.920 he needs to prepare a certain way. And the fact 0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:03.280 he hasn't been able to practice now for almost two 0:08:03.320 --> 0:08:06.440 full weeks, I don't think he would even be comfortable 0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:09.720 going out and playing in a game like this. Now. Again, 0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:12.880 I hate to say it, like let's see what happens today, 0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:16.040 but I mean, if he does something today that shows 0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:19.440 some progress, but if if he's another DNP just did 0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:22.920 not practice, then there's no way he could play. I 0:08:22.960 --> 0:08:24.800 wouldn't think he would want to play this game, and 0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:26.800 the Cowboys would want him to with a buy coming 0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:30.000 up in a chance to get his hamstring fully healthy. 0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:34.400 Also keep in mind, I do feel pretty confident thanthy 0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:37.559 Hintians is going to play this game. So that gives 0:08:37.559 --> 0:08:40.920 you numbers, and it gives you one of your starters backs. 0:08:40.960 --> 0:08:43.199 He's been a full participant in practice all week, so 0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:45.440 that certainly does look good for him. I think he's 0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:48.600 gonna play. You know, that doesn't mean they're not gonna 0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:51.560 miss Sean Lee, but actually he's been practicing it will 0:08:51.760 --> 0:08:54.320 He's been playing week side, you know, getting him ready 0:08:54.400 --> 0:09:00.000 for dude, that's throughout during training camp. He's the starting mic. Yeah, 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:02.880 he's been playing well because Sean can't, And so I 0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:05.480 think it would be him and Jalen and Jalen and 0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:07.800 Durant would probably rotate the way they did at the 0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:11.679 start of the year. You know, Anthony Hitchins doesn't Sean Lee. 0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:14.600 I think he would even say that. But that should 0:09:14.679 --> 0:09:16.200 help you a little bit. I don't know that you 0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:18.640 look as bad at linebackers you did last week. If 0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:20.400 he's in there, you think they'd have him in at 0:09:20.400 --> 0:09:24.240 a Nickel give him a full load most definitely. I mean, 0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:26.920 like this is you know, it's kind of similar to 0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:29.640 the tyring Lee thing, Like I don't think this is 0:09:29.679 --> 0:09:32.160 an injury that's gonna get worse. I mean, he's he's 0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:35.920 good to go. That that fractures healed. It's not a 0:09:36.000 --> 0:09:39.280 muscular or soft tissue thing. So if he can play 0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:42.079 a figure, he can probably carry a full load, all right. 0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:44.320 One other guy wanted to throw out there, Stephen Paya. 0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:49.440 Although he's been missing, he's miss practice quite a bit 0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:53.120 during this the first four weeks of the season, he 0:09:53.200 --> 0:09:55.520 still has managed to play. Do you ever get to 0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:57.640 a point where you start to wonder, like is this 0:09:57.720 --> 0:10:01.040 serious enough where really they need to sit him down? Yeah? Yeah, 0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:03.959 I've been wondering that. That's I mean not even Tony 0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:06.920 Romo took full weeks off of practice multiple weeks in 0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:10.760 a row. Um, it's weird he keeps playing. I would 0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:13.200 argue he probably hasn't been as effective. He certainly hasn't 0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:16.080 looked as effective as he did at training can rum. 0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:19.480 But it's one of those things where do you manage 0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:21.960 it and play at kind of like DeMarcus Lawrence last year. 0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:24.080 Do you manage it and play at sixty percent, or 0:10:24.120 --> 0:10:26.360 do you sit down and not have one of your 0:10:26.360 --> 0:10:29.719 starting caliber guys for a prolonged period of time. Um. 0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:33.640 I heard somebody suggest maybe Ui rhm and bring him back. 0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:36.360 But then Charles Tapper broke his foot this week, So 0:10:36.480 --> 0:10:40.360 that's that hurts. That hinders your ability to bring guys 0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:42.080 back from my arc bec as you get too So 0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:43.959 he might be one of those you think Taper. I 0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:47.319 don't think Tapper's coming back? Well, okay, and that's the case, 0:10:47.840 --> 0:10:53.200 and um Gathers probably isn't either. Yeah, maybe I don't 0:10:53.240 --> 0:10:57.359 even know what to make of that, but um, regardless 0:10:57.440 --> 0:10:59.240 either and even all right, even if you're not doing 0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:01.520 the math on bringing him back, you're still he's gone 0:11:01.520 --> 0:11:04.960 for eight weeks, So he's gone until what December? Yeah, 0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:07.960 So Amber, with David Irving coming back this week, would 0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:10.600 you consider the possibility of making David Irving you're starting 0:11:10.640 --> 0:11:13.760 defensive tackle and and that gives you more flexibility to 0:11:13.800 --> 0:11:15.559 make the decision than maybe you want to sit Paia 0:11:15.640 --> 0:11:17.960 for a week, knowing that you have an extra week 0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:21.720 there with the bye well Horn, could you guys refresh 0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:24.960 my memory? Is this the first time that Paya misses 0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:29.480 practice more than once, Yes, during one week ing the 0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:31.640 same week. I think this is the third time he 0:11:31.720 --> 0:11:33.600 I was gonna say that I thought that happened last week. 0:11:33.800 --> 0:11:37.560 It's either a second or well, I know he's missed yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:39.200 But is this the first time that I thought last 0:11:39.200 --> 0:11:42.760 week he missed multiple? Did he not? I remember fairly, 0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:46.880 I'm fairly confident that he has not practiced since like 0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:51.720 week two or three, at least at all at all. Wow, really, 0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:55.120 I know, I know, I know he's been on the 0:11:55.120 --> 0:12:00.600 injury report weeks now. So yeah, but back to your question, Uh, yeah, 0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:03.920 I think having David Irving back it's gonna be great. 0:12:04.000 --> 0:12:06.720 And I was talking to Malie Collins the other day 0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:09.720 and you should have seen his smile. As soon as 0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:13.559 I mentioned David Irvin's name, he gave me the biggest 0:12:13.559 --> 0:12:16.960 smile ever and was so excited to have him back 0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:19.080 on the line. And he was just telling me how 0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:23.120 much of a big help he is, not only I 0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:26.400 mean to everyone, not just in what he does for 0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:30.760 himself specifically, but whatever he does also helps everyone else 0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:33.040 on the line. So I think it'll be good to 0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:37.199 have him as a starting guy, and that that may 0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:39.400 give them the flexibility they need to if they want 0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:41.079 to sit Pie for a week and give him two 0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:44.480 weeks essentially, I could give him some opportunities there. Cardinals 0:12:44.520 --> 0:12:48.160 game two weeks ago, did not practice, did not practice, 0:12:48.160 --> 0:12:51.880 did not practice questionable, and then played right. And then 0:12:51.960 --> 0:12:55.280 against the Rams, did not practice, did not practice limited 0:12:55.720 --> 0:12:58.520 and then played. So he had multiple practice, multiple weeks 0:12:58.520 --> 0:13:02.320 of not practicing through the week twice so far, and 0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:05.320 I guess this week will be three times that he's 0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:08.640 had multiple days of not practicing. So he's played those 0:13:08.640 --> 0:13:10.679 other two games. We'll see. But then again, they didn't 0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:13.240 have again, they didn't have Irving at that point. Now 0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:15.400 having Irving will it'll be interesting to see if they 0:13:15.440 --> 0:13:17.640 feel like they have some flexibility now that Irving's back. 0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:20.160 It'll definitely be good for him because he hasn't again 0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:23.720 he has they haven't had enough guys for Paia to 0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:26.040 even take a little break and sit down, you know, 0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:28.960 So it'll be good for them and just put Irving back. 0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:32.760 He's healthy, he's been training, he's been staying in shape, 0:13:33.040 --> 0:13:36.280 so that's to me, that would be the smartest idea. 0:13:36.320 --> 0:13:39.119 All right, great, let's move on. Let's talk about inactives. 0:13:39.880 --> 0:13:42.440 I think we could probably all agree that Cooper Rush 0:13:42.600 --> 0:13:47.800 Darren McFadden are two guys that will be inactive. Let's 0:13:47.840 --> 0:13:49.480 start going through the list of the other guys that 0:13:49.520 --> 0:13:51.760 we think could be. Shan Lee. I know, Dave you 0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:53.920 said you think he's down. Do you guys agree that 0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:56.679 Sean Lee's down? Yeah? I mean, haven't seen anything yet 0:13:56.720 --> 0:13:59.720 to suggest that he's not. Okay, Amber, Yeah, okay, good. 0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:05.400 At three, let's talk about the cornerback position. Ben Abin 0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:08.040 Wickery has been playing. There are two guys that have 0:14:08.320 --> 0:14:12.880 not been playing in Cheetah Woozier and Nolan Carroll. How 0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:14.960 many of those guys you think will be up this week? 0:14:15.000 --> 0:14:17.040 So I guess let me flip that question. How many 0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:18.839 of those guys you think are down this week? And 0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:20.960 who do you think it'll be? Because I don't think 0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:23.360 they'll have all three active, I think we can go 0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:26.000 with Ben a Yeah, I've seen we thought he was 0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:29.320 going to get cut before the TAP's guy, Nick, Why 0:14:29.440 --> 0:14:33.080 you've been talking about him? Time put him in? Do 0:14:33.240 --> 0:14:36.760 something with him? Well, just I said that when you 0:14:36.880 --> 0:14:39.320 have four corners and two of them have never played, 0:14:39.360 --> 0:14:41.000 and one of us heard, and then you end up. 0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:42.880 You know, do you have a fifth guy there? But 0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:47.760 in this case, now you've got everyone seemingly back, He's 0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:50.720 an easy choice for to be an active I'm trying 0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:54.000 to get that draft pick back. Do you wonder a 0:14:54.040 --> 0:14:56.680 little bit about Carol from last week, because it seemed 0:14:56.680 --> 0:14:59.160 like the way things are going last week that maybe 0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:01.880 he had a shot of playing last week and was 0:15:02.000 --> 0:15:04.760 a was a scratch. Do you think that maybe that 0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:07.560 there was more to that than just d injury. Maybe 0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:09.600 they just made a decision that he wasn't the guy 0:15:09.600 --> 0:15:13.280 they wanted to have up. Um, I don't think so. Uh. 0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:16.120 And listening to Garrett yesterday, he made it sound like 0:15:16.240 --> 0:15:19.040 that they're gonna all play and all of them, Yeah, 0:15:19.080 --> 0:15:22.000 And he made it sound like he didn't want to 0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:25.440 say who's gonna return to the starting lineup, Brown or Carol, 0:15:25.520 --> 0:15:27.920 But he said we're gonna, you know, we're gonna need 0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:30.760 all of them. So I don't I think that Carol 0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:33.360 does come back this week? Okay, so you think benabian 0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:35.760 wickery is down? So now we're at four. The way 0:15:35.840 --> 0:15:38.480 Cheeto was running around the locker room the other day, 0:15:38.520 --> 0:15:41.000 he certainly doesn't looked like his hand father and him right, 0:15:41.440 --> 0:15:43.880 all right, so let's four down. What do you think 0:15:43.880 --> 0:15:49.440 about Noah Brown wide receiver, sixth wide receiver they were 0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:52.280 using him. I mean, he gets out there a little bit. 0:15:52.360 --> 0:15:54.280 I don't I don't know if it's if it's smart 0:15:54.320 --> 0:15:57.640 to have six receivers active, But when you have all 0:15:57.640 --> 0:16:00.600 these specialty guys that only do a certain kind of things, 0:16:01.320 --> 0:16:03.920 you know, and I think he does play special team, 0:16:03.960 --> 0:16:05.560 I mean he does. He runs down and does something 0:16:05.640 --> 0:16:08.040 special teams, so you don't you have the guys that 0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:11.680 don't do that. Bryce doesn't do that, and Beasley doesn't 0:16:11.720 --> 0:16:14.160 do that. So you're having your third and fourth receivers 0:16:14.160 --> 0:16:17.720 that don't play special teams. You kind of need that spot, 0:16:18.000 --> 0:16:20.840 you know. And Switzer is kind of he's kind of 0:16:20.960 --> 0:16:24.640 got his own role. Well can we throw Jonathan Cooper 0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:27.080 on there? Yeah? And I guess that's where we're at 0:16:27.160 --> 0:16:29.360 right now. We got four guys. We feel pretty certain 0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:32.120 that there are four spots that will be down. You're 0:16:32.200 --> 0:16:34.640 kind of working for those other three spots between guys 0:16:34.680 --> 0:16:40.400 like Stephen Paia, maybe Chaz Green, maybe Cooper, maybe Taco 0:16:40.600 --> 0:16:43.680 possibly a guy like a Noah Brown if you want 0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:46.760 to get really crazy, maybe a Cavon phrase like, there 0:16:46.760 --> 0:16:48.560 are there are those kind of guys that you have 0:16:48.600 --> 0:16:50.280 to kind of start thinking about it. But you've got 0:16:50.320 --> 0:16:52.720 three spots. So who are those three guys you think 0:16:52.760 --> 0:16:55.960 that possibly end up being down this week? Well, i'm 0:16:56.000 --> 0:16:59.760 I'm I think Cooper needs to sit. If Chaz Green 0:16:59.880 --> 0:17:03.080 is full, he's he's I think he's your better starting 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:05.800 left guard. I know Aaron Donald wasn't a great matchup 0:17:05.800 --> 0:17:11.080 for anybody, but I also with with Tyrn Smith having 0:17:11.240 --> 0:17:16.720 back and back problems, Byron Bell can't sit. Um, Cooper's 0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:19.399 the least versatile of all of those kind of in 0:17:19.440 --> 0:17:22.280 between offensive linemen as far as I'm concerned. Joe Looney 0:17:22.280 --> 0:17:24.359 can play center and guard if something were to happen 0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:27.520 at Chazz And if I mean, if chadz is practicing 0:17:27.560 --> 0:17:29.439 full all week, which he is, then I would assume 0:17:29.480 --> 0:17:32.160 he can play. So you know, it's not a knock 0:17:32.200 --> 0:17:36.800 against Cooper though it doesn't. But if I mean, if 0:17:36.800 --> 0:17:38.960 he's full, then he should play. And if he gets hurt, 0:17:38.960 --> 0:17:41.960 then you've got Joe Looney. Yeah, that's my point. Um, 0:17:42.440 --> 0:17:44.639 I think I would try to go eight offensive linemen 0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:46.679 this week if I could. I think that would be 0:17:46.680 --> 0:17:48.840 my lad. I think I would go Noah Brown down 0:17:49.000 --> 0:17:51.560 before I would I would sit eight. I mean I would, 0:17:51.560 --> 0:17:54.520 I would dress eight offensive linemen this game. I think 0:17:54.520 --> 0:17:57.720 we've been saying that though at least I know you 0:17:58.160 --> 0:18:01.800 and me, I know you think all differently. I mean, 0:18:01.840 --> 0:18:05.800 I love knowing him, but again we keep saying that 0:18:05.840 --> 0:18:09.760 and talking about setting him out or making him inactive. 0:18:10.359 --> 0:18:12.760 But the Cowboys aren't. I mean, we haven't seen them 0:18:12.800 --> 0:18:16.360 do that. They seem like they would. They've also, I mean, 0:18:16.400 --> 0:18:19.320 I think it's it's because they've had so many injuries 0:18:19.320 --> 0:18:22.520 that they could they could basically keep some guys active 0:18:22.600 --> 0:18:24.960 that but for injury, would probably be inactive. And I 0:18:24.960 --> 0:18:27.080 think Noah Brown's one of those. Now that you're starting 0:18:27.119 --> 0:18:29.720 to clear up your injury reports, some I think it's 0:18:29.760 --> 0:18:31.320 going to have to be some hard decisions, and I 0:18:31.359 --> 0:18:33.680 do think Noah Brown kind of falls in that category. Yeah, 0:18:33.720 --> 0:18:35.560 I think he's a nice to have. I don't think 0:18:35.560 --> 0:18:38.040 he's a necessary right, and that's usually the guys that 0:18:38.080 --> 0:18:39.920 didn't know being inactive. You know what you think about 0:18:39.920 --> 0:18:42.320 it when you lose two linebackers like they did with 0:18:42.440 --> 0:18:46.080 Hitchens and Sean Lee and get down to four active 0:18:46.080 --> 0:18:48.879 guys most teams would have gone to the waiver wire 0:18:49.560 --> 0:18:52.439 or somewhere and picked up a linebacker, which would have 0:18:52.640 --> 0:18:55.560 cut a position like that with Noah Brown, so he 0:18:55.640 --> 0:18:58.359 was fortunate, like you said, to be active in getting 0:18:58.400 --> 0:19:02.480 you know. But but they've only had four active linebackers. 0:19:02.600 --> 0:19:05.840 When Hitchings comes back, they'll have five active linebackers, and 0:19:05.880 --> 0:19:08.320 when Lee comes back, they might have six. Right, So 0:19:08.480 --> 0:19:10.840 something's got to give somewhere, you know. And you talk 0:19:10.880 --> 0:19:13.360 about those special team spots, maybe that's one of those 0:19:13.359 --> 0:19:15.760 special team spots. And that does I think when you 0:19:15.800 --> 0:19:17.600 start talking about guys that can come back and play 0:19:17.640 --> 0:19:20.719 special teams, that affects even a guy like Cavon Frazier, 0:19:20.760 --> 0:19:23.840 who I think his best asset that he's given to 0:19:23.840 --> 0:19:25.560 this team right now is in special teams and that's 0:19:25.600 --> 0:19:28.480 been a little shaky at times. So and also he's 0:19:28.480 --> 0:19:30.439 a guy that becomes a little bit expended a little bit. 0:19:30.440 --> 0:19:33.200 And also with the fact that you know, we're starting 0:19:33.200 --> 0:19:35.440 to hear a little bit that Cheetos doing some things 0:19:35.440 --> 0:19:38.959 some at safety, like like we had anticipated when they 0:19:39.040 --> 0:19:41.480 drafted him. That that's the versatility that he has, so 0:19:41.520 --> 0:19:44.520 he can do some things safety standpoint you know, Xavier 0:19:44.560 --> 0:19:46.680 Woods is starting to earn a little more playing time 0:19:46.760 --> 0:19:49.840 and he's versatile, right right, so he can kind of 0:19:49.880 --> 0:19:52.600 drop down a little bit, so that they look at 0:19:52.600 --> 0:19:55.000 this probably differently than we do because of what Xavier 0:19:55.040 --> 0:19:57.720 Woods and Cheeto what they could do and say, you know, 0:19:57.920 --> 0:20:00.760 we might they might sit two corners if they wanted to. 0:20:00.840 --> 0:20:02.240 I just don't know who they would be. Well, that 0:20:02.280 --> 0:20:03.520 was kind of the reason why I was getting to 0:20:03.600 --> 0:20:06.439 Carol because I think if if Cheeto's back, they do 0:20:06.520 --> 0:20:08.600
