Welcome to the latest edition of The 0:00:48.520 --> 0:00:51.559 Break Real, Live from the s WBC Mortgage Studios. At 0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:53.080 the start, we've got a few things we're gonna get 0:00:53.080 --> 0:00:54.880 into today. We're gonna be joined by Bucky Brooks in 0:00:54.880 --> 0:00:56.920 our second segment to talk about the New Orleans Saints 0:00:57.000 --> 0:00:59.760 versus the Cowboys. We got some big picture storylines we're 0:00:59.760 --> 0:01:03.240 gonna talk about. We've got a big injury list slash 0:01:03.320 --> 0:01:07.959 COVID list slash suspension list that we'll need to go through. 0:01:08.680 --> 0:01:11.200 Even a player added this morning to and Coach McCarthy's 0:01:11.360 --> 0:01:14.160 press conference that he just did a few minutes ago. 0:01:14.240 --> 0:01:18.160 So let's start there. Let's talk first about some injuries. 0:01:18.200 --> 0:01:19.840 Let's start with a Mariy Cooper. What are we hearing 0:01:19.880 --> 0:01:21.760 about a Mariy Cooper at this point in his return 0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:25.920 from COVID. Marie Cooper might be hard pressed to play 0:01:25.920 --> 0:01:30.360 in this game. That's just me reading the tea leaves. 0:01:31.240 --> 0:01:33.800 Mike McCarthy said this morning, he's back in the building, 0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:36.800 but he's not feeling the best. Sounds like he's still 0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:39.920 got some lingering effects, which Amber and I were just 0:01:39.959 --> 0:01:41.960 talking about this on the way downstairs. As far as 0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:46.080 I understand it, I have not knock on Wood contracted 0:01:46.120 --> 0:01:50.080 COVID during this entire thing. But you can have symptoms 0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:54.000 that persist after you stop testing negative for some people 0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:56.320 for a long Yeah, sure, like it can stick with 0:01:56.360 --> 0:01:58.360 you for a long time. Maybe if he talked about 0:01:58.360 --> 0:01:59.920 that last year when he had COVID, he said he 0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:04.720 felt some things after he was past COVID, right, So 0:02:05.520 --> 0:02:07.360 I don't know this for sure, but I have a 0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:09.360 hard time believing they would let him back in the 0:02:09.400 --> 0:02:11.960 building if he was COVID positive. But you can have 0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:16.120 those symptoms after you stop testing positive, So that sounds 0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:19.640 like something he's dealing with. They have a practice today, 0:02:19.919 --> 0:02:23.920 McCarthy said, He's TBD. They do. They do a mock 0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:27.960 game sort of walk through practice tomorrow before they leave town, 0:02:28.680 --> 0:02:32.080 and Mike said, if he can't do something tomorrow, then 0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:35.600 he probably won't play in this game, So we'll see. 0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:38.160 Jerry Jones said this morning that he thought Amari would 0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:41.919 be good to go, but Jerry's usually Jerry's not even 0:02:41.960 --> 0:02:45.440 half glass. He's not even glass half full. He's just glassful. 0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:47.799 He's just like, yeah, we're good. Amar's going to play, 0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:50.280 But I don't feel good about it right now on 0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:54.000 Tuesday morning. It makes me and I doubt you guys 0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:57.120 have the answer to this. But going back to that 0:02:57.200 --> 0:03:01.360 and how cautious they are being currently with all these 0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:05.519 new cases are in test being positive to have popped 0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:10.840 up recently, with him testing negative and then having lingering 0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:13.480 effects of like not feeling too well or a little 0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:18.040 cough here and there, do you do you still risk it? 0:03:18.240 --> 0:03:20.400 Like you know, I don't know even if you're still 0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:23.839 testing negative, Do you still want him or are you 0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:27.720 being extremely extra cautious at least this week and just 0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:30.720 keep him out? Well, I would assume. I would assume 0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:33.520 at this point he's beyond the point of being contagious. 0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:36.400 That's why they're letting him back in the building now. 0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:39.640 As Day said, that doesn't mean he's not necessarily that 0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:43.280 he's necessarily feeling better. He may still have some lingering effects. 0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:45.640 And then that just becomes a matter of how do 0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:48.640 you feel. It's no different than if you had you know, 0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:50.440 I don't know if you if you had a cult, 0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:54.320 you know, the flu, you might be past being contagious, 0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:56.480 but you just might not feel good. And then it's 0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:58.240 just a matter of how do you feel. And if 0:03:58.280 --> 0:04:00.440 he feels okay, he plays. If he does, then they 0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:02.440 have to question do they put him out there knowing 0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:05.560 that maybe his conditioning isn't right, maybe isn't feeling up 0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:08.440 to par whatever that might look like. Yeah, and McCarthy 0:04:08.480 --> 0:04:10.760 mentioned that as well, there's a conditioning aspect to it, 0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:13.040 like he needs to get onto a field and run 0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:15.720 some routes and prove that he can feel good. I 0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:18.800 guess it is. It is interesting, though, and I absolutely 0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:21.800 I'm not I don't intend to like make light of 0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:24.479 this virus that has killed so many people and been 0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:27.960 so awful for all of us. But like, if he's 0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:30.680 not contagious and he's just feeling under the weather, like 0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:33.640 if a guy had the flu two years ago, if 0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:35.920 a guy had the flu, we'd be like, ze pack 0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:38.479 and some gatorade. He's gonna play like I've been great 0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:42.159 about that. So it sounds ridiculous to say, like, well, 0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:45.080 he can play through it because it's COVID is this 0:04:45.120 --> 0:04:47.480 awful thing. Like your brain goes to a different place 0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:50.160 when you hear that. But that was something we were 0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:52.719 very comfortable with in the before times, you know. So 0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:55.000 I'm not saying that he needs to play through it 0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:58.039 if he's feeling crappy. But I do kind of think 0:04:58.080 --> 0:05:02.440 about that sometimes, about how just perception can kind of 0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:04.880 change the way that you feel about these sorts of things. So, 0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:07.720 like I said, I don't know, we'll see, but if 0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:09.680 he can't get out and run routes and prove that 0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:12.080 he's just feeling up to it, then he's probably not 0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:13.920 doing you any good anyway. What you have to remember 0:05:13.960 --> 0:05:17.600 in a lot of aspects, COVID is a respiratory illness. Sure, 0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:19.520 So for a guy that's going to go out and 0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:22.279 run basically what's an equivalent to maybe a half marathon, 0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:24.600 I don't know during a game how many miles they run. 0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:28.279 I want to say, I want to say that somebody 0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:31.120 did a study, and it was like seven, eight, maybe 0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:33.360 even nine miles that a receiver would run in the 0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:35.080 course of a game. But I don't know that to 0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:38.680 be sure. I'm just soccer players usually run between six 0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:41.080 and eight and they never stopped and they never stopped running. 0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:43.799 That's but either way, the point they're talking about running 0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:46.279 a lot. The point is you're sprinting a lot, and 0:05:46.600 --> 0:05:49.800 for someone coming off a respiratory disease, if if they 0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:53.200 are still having those effects, they maybe just very difficult 0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:56.719 to do when you're compromised a bit. All right, Let's 0:05:56.720 --> 0:05:59.039 talk about Ceedee Lamb. Where is he in his recovery 0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:03.200 and his return that from dry concussion, he's gonna play. 0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:06.840 I feel like that Ceedee Lamb is that's that's overweight. 0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:09.800 He he said he wasn't feeling like himself last week, 0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:14.560 which makes total sense. Um didn't clear his protocol. But 0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:17.200 I mean, he's been full every day this week, says 0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:19.600 he feels fine, and he himself said he's gonna play. 0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:21.880 Let's talk about some good news to Marcus Lawrence. Where 0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:24.960 is he supposed to be back? I mean, he says 0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:26.880 he's are they they say he's gonna be back. I 0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:28.520 mean Jerry says he's gonna be back, but I mean 0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:31.440 Jerry said Mary's gonna be back. I fully expect Mary 0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:33.760 to be back. Um, but no, I think Tank is 0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:36.200 gonna play. I don't know how well he'll play or 0:06:36.200 --> 0:06:39.919 how you know his conditioning will be, but he'll be 0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:42.520 out there, and he's gotta be better, I would think 0:06:42.520 --> 0:06:44.560 than the guys that they that they have. I mean, 0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:47.680 I'm talking about maybe not Dori's armstrong right away, but 0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:50.000 I mean, you know, you're thinking about the guys that 0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:52.480 are rushing in the past or I'm sure he'll give 0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:54.440 him a little bit of a boost there, and then 0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:57.279 over time, I think he'll, you know, two or three games, 0:06:57.279 --> 0:06:59.599 he'll probably get back to his normal self. That's what 0:06:59.720 --> 0:07:01.960 my anticipation is. Yeah, I would imagine you're going to 0:07:02.040 --> 0:07:04.120 have a plan for him. It's been he hasn't He 0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:07.520 played the season opener and nothing else. Didn't have a 0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:11.240 training camp, by the way, so um just has not 0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:13.200 had a ton of opportunity to play football. So I 0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:17.240 would imagine maybe there's a snap count or certain situations 0:07:17.280 --> 0:07:19.600 like I'd be kind of surprised if they just threw 0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:21.720 him out there and let him play sixty five snaps. 0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:24.280 But but but I think he will play. Is there any 0:07:24.360 --> 0:07:27.640 level of concern with Terrell Basham, another defensive end who 0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:31.080 was limited yesterday in practice? Where are we with him? 0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:35.920 You know, when you look at the injury report, you 0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:39.000 don't always look at the guys like that, like, M sorry, 0:07:39.040 --> 0:07:42.440 you gotta starter. He's a starter on I mean, but 0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:46.120 I mean Cedric Wilson have another Yeah, I mean practice 0:07:46.160 --> 0:07:48.200 walked away the other day in a walking boot, and 0:07:48.240 --> 0:07:51.040 he didn't practice. And if Mary doesn't play, then that 0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:53.720 that's a problem to you. So I mean, I'll be 0:07:53.760 --> 0:07:55.520 honest though I don't think there was a lot of 0:07:55.600 --> 0:07:59.080 questions about Bashaim. Yeah, where he is well? And I 0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:02.040 was fortunate enough to be our pool reporter at practice. Okay, 0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:07.160 he was out there. They were They were playing cash money, 0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:09.600 all the old all the good old stuff by the way, 0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:13.120 like the old New Orleans, the old Juvie, the old Wayne, 0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:16.320 like before a million. He was bad. We don't stop it. 0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:19.680 But what But my point is Terrell Basham was like 0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:22.560 dance into the music and having good He looked like 0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:26.240 he took second thinking. Okay, the type of play call 0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:29.480 is is this is a design ball you're talking about. 0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:35.280 I think is this creative from major cash Money Millionaires 0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:37.600 taken over for the nine nine and the two thousand. 0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:40.600 It's one of my least favorite things. When you two 0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:44.000 start arguing about rap. It's like, I hate it because 0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:48.160 it's like it's never gonna be settled. It's like a cowboys. 0:08:48.400 --> 0:08:50.880 We don't we don't argue over over hire about what 0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:52.680 we do. Is like we just know that we have 0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:56.160 different tastes, we got different errors. Derek's like stubborn, that's 0:08:56.200 --> 0:08:58.760 all I'm not. I'm just you know, we see hip 0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:00.960 hop music differently, but you were just talking about something 0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:03.040 that we agree on, Like that was pretty good. You 0:09:03.040 --> 0:09:06.520 would cash money back, You would think that y'all would 0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:09.440 see it differently. Yeah, maybe, well maybe not if you 0:09:09.520 --> 0:09:13.640 know Dave. Derek just Derek just thinks like nothing good 0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:16.240 has happened since like what two thousand and two night 0:09:16.360 --> 0:09:19.880 hip hope, Very little has happened dude since late ridiculous. Yeah, 0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:21.959 it's ridiculous, but it's it's every once in a while 0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:23.720 something pops up. I was actually gonna ask Nick, do 0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:25.360 you have any lyrics you want through out there from 0:09:25.600 --> 0:09:28.720 the nineties cash money or Wayne or like you know 0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:31.120 nineties hip hop. No, not really, you don't have anything 0:09:31.440 --> 0:09:34.559 just like no, if it's not, I mean I say 0:09:34.720 --> 0:09:38.480 last week you know and which By the way, that 0:09:38.520 --> 0:09:41.839 song has the greatest rap lyric of all time California 0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:45.880 love it in that second verse there, that's it, though 0:09:46.600 --> 0:09:48.920 you want to tell everybody what it is class, you 0:09:48.920 --> 0:09:51.760 guys know what it is? Okay, all right, cool, um, 0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:54.600 let's let's say I don't say the H word on 0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:59.160 the air. Okay, go ahead, sure, let's talk about Zeke Elliott. 0:09:59.240 --> 0:10:01.720 He is a he is not really on the injury port, 0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:05.920 not really injured per se, but certainly not feeling great. 0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:09.400 Hasn't been great, got a little bit of a I 0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:11.520 wouldn't call it a rest last week, but certainly wasn't 0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:14.120 playing as many snaps as he's played in most other 0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:17.040 games this year. Where you guys, where you guys sit 0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:20.080 with regards to what's happening to Zeke right now? Should 0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:22.400 the Cowboys look at maybe having another week, Well, maybe 0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:24.760 they do less with him. It sounds like they're planning 0:10:24.760 --> 0:10:26.600 to do more. But what are your thoughts on where 0:10:26.600 --> 0:10:29.920 he is right now? My opinion about this whole thing 0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:32.560 hasn't changed this entire time. I know he's hurting, I 0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:39.600 know he's probably compromised, But if he wasn't feeling up 0:10:39.640 --> 0:10:41.439 to it, then I would say, by all, of course, 0:10:41.480 --> 0:10:44.400 sit down. But like he he keeps saying the same thing. 0:10:44.440 --> 0:10:46.680 He's gonna got through it. He's got ways to get 0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:49.800 through it, and they need him. He's I don't really 0:10:49.840 --> 0:10:53.200 care as much about his explosiveness. Like he's too valuable 0:10:53.240 --> 0:10:55.680 as an all around player. I don't want Tony Pollard 0:10:55.679 --> 0:10:58.440 and Corey clement In pass pro all night against this 0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:01.240 defense on the road in an environment where it's going 0:11:01.280 --> 0:11:03.480 to be loud and you don't have the benefit of 0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:06.640 being able to communicate. Hell, no, I need zeke In. 0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:10.520 There's protecting like he does too much. He's been underrated 0:11:10.559 --> 0:11:14.000 as a receiver this year. They're not always great catches, 0:11:14.040 --> 0:11:16.160 but like the number of times he's bailed Dack out 0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:19.000 with some great catches, some of the best of his 0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:22.800 career in my opinion. No, he's too valuable as an 0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:25.360 all around player to sit. If he doesn't absolutely need 0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:28.360 to sit. They've got three to four days off when 0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:30.240 this is over, Like they're not going to be back 0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:34.080 on a field after this game. Until Wednesday. That's so 0:11:34.280 --> 0:11:38.199 from Thursday night until it is. It's exactly what it is. 0:11:38.240 --> 0:11:40.840 And McCarthy has specified like he's going to do everything 0:11:40.840 --> 0:11:43.400 he can to give them as much time. So live 0:11:43.400 --> 0:11:46.480 in the cold tub, get some acupuncture, whatever it is 0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:48.400 that you got to do over the weekend, do it. 0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:51.600 But I need Zeke in this game. Real quick talk 0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:55.280 about Tristan Hill. He gets to amended two games. I honestly, 0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:58.200 I didn't even know this happened until it was probably 0:11:58.200 --> 0:12:00.680 the next day when I saw the video on Twitter. 0:12:00.920 --> 0:12:03.280 Did you guys see it happening? What are your thoughts 0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:05.880 on him being suspended and what happened there at the 0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:10.360 end of the game versus the eraiders. I mean, he 0:12:10.400 --> 0:12:14.880 punched a guy in the face, that's in the face, then, yeah, 0:12:15.320 --> 0:12:19.520 and then he didn't get punched back. Obviously that's not 0:12:19.559 --> 0:12:22.840 gonna happen. He made sure that didn't happen, so he 0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:25.199 you know, I don't know. I didn't. I don't. I 0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:27.720 don't agree with anything that happened there with that, Okay, 0:12:28.520 --> 0:12:30.400 what you don't agree with I don't. I mean, from 0:12:30.400 --> 0:12:33.120 what we know, didn't agree with him punching a guy 0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:36.000 in the face. And then he didn't, you know, then 0:12:36.040 --> 0:12:40.960 he backed away from that obviously. Then the two games 0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:43.200 doesn't make sense for what we know. I mean, I 0:12:43.240 --> 0:12:46.760 see Kadarius Tony hit Demonte Casey in the face and 0:12:46.800 --> 0:12:50.480 he didn't get anything. Um, you know, the Chiefs guy, 0:12:50.600 --> 0:12:53.319 as was pointed out upstairs a few minutes ago, and 0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:55.160 I'm gonna steal the line, but the Chiefs guy, you know, 0:12:55.160 --> 0:12:57.920 basically just sprayed the whole bench, you know, and and 0:12:57.960 --> 0:13:01.760 that that's fine. Nothing there we got. We got to imaginary, well, 0:13:02.000 --> 0:13:03.720 we got a safety on our on our team that 0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:06.440 that got arrested for d WI and we're still figuring 0:13:06.480 --> 0:13:08.480 out what his suspension is going to be. I mean, 0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:10.600 I think that's a big deal in our world too, 0:13:10.640 --> 0:13:12.920 So like I just don't understand from what we know 0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:17.679 why that's a two game suspension. But you know, I 0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:22.600 have a problem with it. Typically just got fine first time. Yeah, Well, 0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:24.640 but here's the deal. I don't think we've seen I 0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:27.440 certainly haven't seen any time that I can can recall 0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:31.920 recently where a player hit another player following the game, 0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:35.319 because I do think there is some difference between during 0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:38.160 the game heat of the moment guy punches another guy, 0:13:38.440 --> 0:13:40.600 you might get ejected in that game, you certainly will 0:13:40.640 --> 0:13:43.760 get fine Richard Sherman and Trump that was, yeah, that 0:13:43.800 --> 0:13:46.760 was after game. And I saw that one that was like, yeah, 0:13:45.920 --> 0:13:48.840 that was when the Legion of Boom was still the 0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:52.240 Legion of Boom, right, And so yeah, that just doesn't 0:13:52.280 --> 0:13:54.480 happen very often. And I don't even know, do you 0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:59.079 know what happened with Trent Trent Williams And I'm sure, yeah, 0:13:59.080 --> 0:14:00.360 I don't know if it was. Two games are not, 0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:02.480 but but I do think there's a difference to be 0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:04.319 made there, and I think there's a legitimate difference in 0:14:04.400 --> 0:14:06.000 me made. What you don't want as a league. You 0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:08.040 don't want guys going after each other after the game's over. 0:14:08.320 --> 0:14:11.160 That can turn into a really big problem really quickly, 0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:12.480 because there's a lot of things that happen on the 0:14:12.520 --> 0:14:15.440 field that can turn into that if you allow it too. 0:14:15.520 --> 0:14:17.880 So I could see what that's an issue. Two games 0:14:17.920 --> 0:14:21.960 does still seem kind of see it seems Trent Williams 0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:25.000 got fined eight grand and wasn't sid I mean it 0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:26.760 was it was a playoff game, so it was the 0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:28.480 last game of the year. But still the league has 0:14:28.560 --> 0:14:32.000 never the league has never cared about carrying things over. 0:14:32.320 --> 0:14:35.080 That's I do agree with you. Like the fact that 0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:39.240 it happened after a game. It seemed kind of premeditated, 0:14:39.320 --> 0:14:41.840 like Tristan Hill was kind of hanging out waiting for it. 0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:46.120 But I mean the league's inconsistency with that stuff has 0:14:46.200 --> 0:14:50.120 always been it's just awful. There's no rhyme or reason. 0:14:50.360 --> 0:14:55.640 There's no clearly outlined like reasoning for it. You never 0:14:55.760 --> 0:14:59.680 know it, and it's it's bs honestly, and the players 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:03.120 probably should have collectively bargained for something better, Like there 0:15:03.200 --> 0:15:06.880 needs to be a panel with like a panel with 0:15:06.960 --> 0:15:09.080 a guy with an arbiter. It needs to be out 0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:11.600 of Goodell's hands. It never will be. Let me ask 0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:13.760 you for that kind of stuff. Is it Goodell who 0:15:13.800 --> 0:15:16.080 actually hands it down? Or does he have someone does 0:15:16.200 --> 0:15:19.000 that in these circumstances, I think there's somebody else. Yeah, 0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:22.320 And I shouldn't pop off too much because I don't 0:15:22.320 --> 0:15:24.240 know the ends. And I thought it was Troy Vincent, 0:15:24.280 --> 0:15:26.320 but I think I think it is. But you know, 0:15:26.400 --> 0:15:28.600 he's not a repeat offender too, which is you know, 0:15:28.680 --> 0:15:31.880 usually stuff like that happens you see with in Dominican 0:15:31.960 --> 0:15:34.280 Sue and issues that he had. It was because it 0:15:34.360 --> 0:15:37.360 was the second time, third time, but I mean Tristan 0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:40.600 Hill hasn't played enough to have you know, well, hold 0:15:40.600 --> 0:15:43.000 on now, I mean hold on, you thinking about the 0:15:43.400 --> 0:15:48.120 alligator get fined for that. I don't remember asking a 0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:50.320 lot of question. That's even a little bit different than 0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:53.560 this kind of situation, like that's kind of you kind 0:15:53.560 --> 0:15:55.400 of can give guys benefit of doubt that he was 0:15:55.440 --> 0:15:57.680 just kind of making a tackle and yeah, whatever, right. 0:15:57.800 --> 0:15:59.400 I mean, he's very different than walking up to a 0:15:59.400 --> 0:16:01.960 guy after a punch. He was. He was fine seven 0:16:02.040 --> 0:16:05.840 grand for the alligator role last year. So still, I mean, 0:16:05.880 --> 0:16:09.440 two games just seems really steep anything. It's certainly just 0:16:09.520 --> 0:16:12.080 in one punch of a guy. Again, the fact that 0:16:12.720 --> 0:16:15.720 we still haven't heard and maybe never will hear anything 0:16:15.720 --> 0:16:19.800 about Demante CAZy, never nothing. We just sat on pins 0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:22.440 and needles for like two years with the Tyrone Crawford thing, 0:16:22.520 --> 0:16:23.960 and we were like, well, Gus, they're not going to 0:16:24.040 --> 0:16:27.440 do anything. And then five days after Tristan Hill punches 0:16:27.440 --> 0:16:29.840 a guy who's wearing a helmet, they're like, we have 0:16:29.960 --> 0:16:32.560 to act on this right now. I just I don't 0:16:32.600 --> 0:16:35.640 get their methodology at all. Yeah, if I were, if 0:16:35.640 --> 0:16:38.200 I were the players in the next collective bargaining agreement, 0:16:38.200 --> 0:16:40.240 I would definitely say, give me a schedule. I want 0:16:40.240 --> 0:16:44.680 to know this offense, this fine or suspension, and do 0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:46.600 as much as you can to define that so that 0:16:46.640 --> 0:16:50.240 it's very clear, so players know the consequence of whatever 0:16:50.280 --> 0:16:54.760 bad behavior they have. Cowboys might want to try to appeal, 0:16:55.040 --> 0:16:59.440 you know, for him to appeal, they are he's happening today, 0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:02.200 Play that's happening today, and and Mike McCarthy says that 0:17:02.240 --> 0:17:04.480 if they do, if he wins it, then obviously he 0:17:04.520 --> 0:17:07.520 would be available to play today. But I've very rarely 0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:09.639 heard of a player appealing and winning. I've got a 0:17:09.680 --> 0:17:12.960 bridge in Brooklyn to sell anybody who thinks the league's 0:17:13.000 --> 0:17:15.800 gonna overturn that that basically basically means they overturn their 0:17:15.800 --> 0:17:18.320 own decision. You know, it's not about overturning it. You're 0:17:18.320 --> 0:17:20.920 gonna get your true games. What I would try to 0:17:20.960 --> 0:17:23.440 do if I'm the Cowboys there for him, I mean, 0:17:23.920 --> 0:17:27.280 is get back here, you know, play this game so 0:17:27.560 --> 0:17:29.680 Neville Galimore can come back in the next week. And 0:17:29.720 --> 0:17:32.040 then when you do get suspending the Neville Galimore sitting 0:17:32.080 --> 0:17:33.840 there but it sounds like they're gonna hear it today, 0:17:33.720 --> 0:17:36.840 so it ain't gonna sure would be nice. And by 0:17:36.840 --> 0:17:40.520 the way, it's John Runyon who is now there, Johns 0:17:40.720 --> 0:17:43.000 who drops the suspension, And that also may be why 0:17:43.040 --> 0:17:45.560 you're seeing such a different skin to do it. My 0:17:45.680 --> 0:17:48.320 guess is John Runyon wasn't doing it back when Sherent 0:17:48.400 --> 0:17:51.639 Williams had his altercation with Richard Sherman. So as a 0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:54.640 new guy is handling that, he may look at things differently. 0:17:54.680 --> 0:17:56.840 And if there is no you know, no schedule of 0:17:57.240 --> 0:18:00.800 this offense produces this result, then and you're probably gonna 0:18:00.840 --> 0:18:02.879 have in it. He one of the dirtiest players in 0:18:02.920 --> 0:18:07.080 the game. John Right, I don't. I'm not gonna call 0:18:07.119 --> 0:18:09.040 the guy dirty, but he was involved in a lot 0:18:09.040 --> 0:18:10.960 of crap when he was with the Eagles, and he's 0:18:11.000 --> 0:18:13.959 the guys. Let's just get Rashid Wallace to come in 0:18:14.000 --> 0:18:19.160 for the NBA and do that kind of stuff. Led 0:18:19.200 --> 0:18:23.639 the world in technical vouls. Both teams played hard. The 0:18:24.040 --> 0:18:26.720 thing is is Derek Brooks and James Thrash is the 0:18:26.760 --> 0:18:29.920 guy who they have to hear his appeal. By the way, well, 0:18:29.920 --> 0:18:32.960 I'm good with that. James Thrash seems like both stand 0:18:33.040 --> 0:18:35.760 up kind of guys, all right, we're gonna No. I 0:18:36.400 --> 0:18:38.080 just I feel like I need to make it clear, 0:18:38.160 --> 0:18:42.040 like Chris Tristan Hill deserved some punishment for that, Like 0:18:42.080 --> 0:18:44.919 that's not professional, it's not okay, Like that's not what 0:18:44.960 --> 0:18:47.760 I'm defending. And I don't think anybody would and just 0:18:47.800 --> 0:18:51.320 don't understand the NFL is just so off the rails 0:18:51.359 --> 0:18:53.800 when it comes to how they make these decisions. That's all. 0:18:53.880 --> 0:18:56.199 Like I really I don't have a problem with the 0:18:56.200 --> 0:18:58.879 punishment so much as the inconsistency from the league. And 0:18:59.160 --> 0:19:03.320 you know, from from Tristan Hills standpoint, I mean, what 0:19:03.359 --> 0:19:06.480 the what the Cowboys? What we thought from him? You 0:19:06.520 --> 0:19:08.880 know when when he was drafted, it was he he 0:19:08.880 --> 0:19:11.800 could be, you know, a good rusher, he can get 0:19:11.880 --> 0:19:14.320 up the field. He's an active player. He's a little 0:19:14.320 --> 0:19:17.880 bit immature, though we've seen more of that than we've 0:19:17.880 --> 0:19:21.080 seen what we've seen the player that they drafted in 0:19:21.119 --> 0:19:24.080 the second round unfortunately. And that's just my ironic too, 0:19:24.119 --> 0:19:26.480 because no, I agree with you, but he played pretty 0:19:26.480 --> 0:19:28.719 well against three years. I thought like he was active, 0:19:28.920 --> 0:19:31.320 he was so he did he had he had a 0:19:31.320 --> 0:19:33.840 pretty good game and he gets up the field, he's 0:19:33.920 --> 0:19:37.880 not easy to block. Yeah, um, but you know he has. 0:19:37.920 --> 0:19:41.600 It's been mostly the other stuff so far. And this 0:19:41.680 --> 0:19:44.800 is year three, year three. All right, we're gonna take 0:19:44.800 --> 0:19:46.520 our first break. When we come back, we're gonna talk 0:19:46.800 --> 0:19:48.879 to Bucky Brooks of NFL Network. We'll talk about the 0:19:48.920 --> 0:19:51.560 Saints versus Cowboys. But when we come right back, Dallas 0:19:51.560 --> 0:19:57.560 Cowboys dot Com Radio, at AT and T, everyone new 0:19:57.600 --> 0:20:00.399 and existing customers get our best deals on every small phone. 0:20:00.560 --> 0:20:03.320 Why because you deserve it.
