Speaker 1: The following. He's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. Are you ready for
Speaker 1: a break? Yes? Are you ready for a break? Absolutely?
Speaker 1: Ready for a break? Yeah, and so much for that.
Speaker 1: It's time for The Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: with Nick Eatman, David Hellman, and bar Garcia and Derek Eagleton. Hello, guys,
Speaker 1: welcome to another episode of The Break. Derek decided to
Speaker 1: be lazy today, but the Cowboys didn't. They started their
Speaker 1: practice not too long ago, so I just wanted to
Speaker 1: jump right in into the guys that have been practicing
Speaker 1: today of one of the main one being Dak Prescott.
Speaker 1: Whether or not he's been throwing some balls around and
Speaker 1: what he's been able to do so far. Nope, wasn't
Speaker 1: throwing on Friday, That's nope. I mean we only see
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes of a ninety minute practice, but he wasn't throwing. No.
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett said that he's going to do exactly what
Speaker 1: he did last week and just kind of just kind
Speaker 1: of amp up as the week goes on, hopefully not exactly.
Speaker 1: That's what he said that he's gonna, you know, that's
Speaker 1: what worked last week for them. I mean, I hear
Speaker 1: what you're saying, and you said that last week. Dat
Speaker 1: Dak kind of touched on that yesterday in the locker room.
Speaker 1: He said something along the lines of, didn't make the
Speaker 1: plays last week. I know I have to. I felt
Speaker 1: like my mental preparation was there, but you know, physically
Speaker 1: I didn't do it. But at the same time, you know,
Speaker 1: you've got to rest it so that it's ready to
Speaker 1: go on Sunday. And I mean, obviously it did not
Speaker 1: work last week. But if he's throwing thirty reps per
Speaker 1: day during the week and wearing his already sore shoulder out,
Speaker 1: I think he'll look even worse on Sunday. This is
Speaker 1: the first time he's at to miss practices career, right,
Speaker 1: a pro career. Yeah, So I do wonder if some
Speaker 1: of this may be he's having to learn how to
Speaker 1: not practice, you know what I mean, you don't have
Speaker 1: to learn how to get ready without practicing, And maybe
Speaker 1: that means he can be better this week than he
Speaker 1: was last week because he learned something and last week
Speaker 1: about how you prepare when you can't actually take the route.
Speaker 1: I mean, Tyron Smith didn't practice again today back injury,
Speaker 1: you guys feeling with the old line and what it's
Speaker 1: happening there at the moment, because you take that and
Speaker 1: then combine it with what Dak is going through. Joe,
Speaker 1: I mean you're down to your third option at left guard. Sure,
Speaker 1: and then yeah, your whole left side could be I mean,
Speaker 1: could be Camp Fleming and Joe Looney on the left side.
Speaker 1: It really could be. And you know, but you know,
Speaker 1: Garrett said, when they asked about Tyring, he said, we'll
Speaker 1: take it there by day. I can't tell if he's
Speaker 1: gonna play. But then they also was asked the same
Speaker 1: question about Dak and he was like, we'll see. It's
Speaker 1: day by day. So he wouldn't say that he's going
Speaker 1: to play in the game. He just he wouldn't say anything. Again, well,
Speaker 1: we'll find out tomorrow if they do anything with the quarterback.
Speaker 1: They seem like got a ton of tackles. Yeah, well
Speaker 1: they have Brandon Knight, obviously, they got Cam Fleming. Mitch
Speaker 1: Hyatt's on the roster, and they signed another guy, right,
Speaker 1: didn't they sign him? Yeah, you're right, they signed Wyatt
Speaker 1: Miller during the day off. By the Miller and Hyatt,
Speaker 1: I don't know if you want to put them into
Speaker 1: a game, especially not at tackle, Like if Hyatt was
Speaker 1: going to play, I almost think it would be a
Speaker 1: guard first. But yeah, they do have those guys. They do.
Speaker 1: I think Tyn I think Tyron will play. And Byron
Speaker 1: Jones is another one. He didn't practice today with an
Speaker 1: ankle injury. Law to Marcus Lauren, he was out there,
Speaker 1: but he wasn't doing a lot. I think those guys
Speaker 1: will play. Okay, Well, we don't get the whole practice. No,
Speaker 1: I wasn't saying that fo period, And it's basically that's
Speaker 1: what it is. I mean, we don't know what's going
Speaker 1: on stretches, special teams, drills, and a handful of my
Speaker 1: response my responts is about the fact that just all
Speaker 1: these guys are just popping up on the injury Like
Speaker 1: we know that nobody's healthy. That's a part of the
Speaker 1: NFL this part of the year, you're not going to
Speaker 1: be healthy, but it just seems like guys this week
Speaker 1: are just kind of popping up on the injury report.
Speaker 1: It just that seems weird. What are you trying to say?
Speaker 1: I don't know, I'm just asking. It just seems weird.
Speaker 1: I don't know, it may not seem weird to hear
Speaker 1: it from a lot of guys popping up this week.
Speaker 1: Cowboy are cow Tank got hurt in the Eagles game,
Speaker 1: right and then but the rest and I guess Byron
Speaker 1: did too Woods. But that's the rest of these guys,
Speaker 1: is it. He's hurt his knee three weeks ago? I
Speaker 1: mean hip hipping ink? Oh okay, you know that's what
Speaker 1: I get for not reading the report that closely. I
Speaker 1: mean his name was like it must be the My
Speaker 1: point is that the report has had about eighteen guys
Speaker 1: on it for most of the month of December, so
Speaker 1: I don't know about popping up. I mean Tank is
Speaker 1: a new one. Yeah, that's fair, all right. Well, how
Speaker 1: comfortable are you feeling with what you got so far
Speaker 1: and going into this weekend? Yeah? I think against I
Speaker 1: think what the Cowboys have in wise is nothing compared
Speaker 1: to what the Redskins have. No, And I as also
Speaker 1: think talent wise, I think the Cowboys are better team
Speaker 1: than the Redskins. So, and they have something to play
Speaker 1: for which you'd like to think it would be something
Speaker 1: that that would help them. So for those three reasons,
Speaker 1: and being at home, so those four reasons they should
Speaker 1: go on. Well, you know how you love next man
Speaker 1: up and how it always works, so you know it
Speaker 1: always works for the Cowboys the next man up theory,
Speaker 1: but the next man up for the Redskins. The where
Speaker 1: they are is, you know, the Redskins moved Monte Nicholson
Speaker 1: and Fabian Moreaud at IR today and Bill Callahan confirmed
Speaker 1: that Landon Collins is out, as is somebody else who's
Speaker 1: a McLarin. Thank you, Terry McLarin. So that's seventy five
Speaker 1: best receiver, seventy five percent of their starting secondary and
Speaker 1: their best receiver. So yeah, like I dow Washington wants
Speaker 1: to hear about injuries, just like Philly didn't want to
Speaker 1: hear about it. You know, Yeah, the Cowboys are the
Speaker 1: healthier team. Doesn't necessarily mean now they'll do anything with it.
Speaker 1: They didn't last week. Again, you know, we don't get
Speaker 1: the big sample size of practice, but we're watching this
Speaker 1: and I'm I'm sitting here and listening to this. You know,
Speaker 1: they got rap music going on. It's loudest, I mean,
Speaker 1: it's trying to pump up everything. And I see Dak
Speaker 1: and he's and I'm like, he's not doing anything and
Speaker 1: I'm like, where's Cooper, Like I just wanted to where's
Speaker 1: Maria nineteen. I'm looking for him and I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: there he is just running like Patent go just down
Speaker 1: the field forty yard passes and I'm looking. I saw
Speaker 1: one play and it was deep ball to him. I
Speaker 1: just want to see if he was in there deep ball.
Speaker 1: He put out one hand, dropped it. This decided to
Speaker 1: just do a forty yard one hand and dropped it.
Speaker 1: And I was just like, m that's exactly what I
Speaker 1: remember from the Eagle game, you know, I was that
Speaker 1: was it. So that's that's what I saw out of
Speaker 1: a Maria Cooper could have had a great practice after that.
Speaker 1: He's practicing right now. But for the one play that
Speaker 1: I saw was a one handed half asked, you know,
Speaker 1: attempt for a deep ball. Well, the one thing that
Speaker 1: we do know is that he plays pretty good games
Speaker 1: at AT and T Stadium. Rethinking you're you're rethinking your
Speaker 1: Cowboys in the playoffs stance or no, no, no, I'm
Speaker 1: in cool. How is our going to the playoffs? Yeah? Okay,
Speaker 1: that's I guess. Hey, we had this debate off the
Speaker 1: end and it's locked in. Okay, nobody couldn't come in. No,
Speaker 1: you're not getting any new there. No, Because I said
Speaker 1: it the other day up in the office, and I
Speaker 1: got like three or four people that are like in,
Speaker 1: you know, um, so it's me, Derek, and lindsay right,
Speaker 1: that's the only three people that jumped in on them. Okay,
Speaker 1: so whoever's right gets lunch on the Other one is
Speaker 1: that now we're doing this all day, all right, do
Speaker 1: we want to hit the inactives real quick? Sure? Throw
Speaker 1: it out there. Luck with that with all those guys injured.
Speaker 1: I mean, like, yeah, I mean I think that. I mean,
Speaker 1: I know Dak's gonna play, right, Tyron will probably play.
Speaker 1: I think by about that. No, I said, I think
Speaker 1: I think he'll play. This is tough to do this,
Speaker 1: it is, but and fans don't care if there's get
Speaker 1: me forty six guys that could play. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm glad you. Like literally, when Amber said it, I
Speaker 1: was about to say, do we care this week? I
Speaker 1: don't don't. All Right, Devin Smith, the two rookie offensive lineman,
Speaker 1: I'd say, maybe Devin plays a swing. Maybe they think
Speaker 1: he's got an option. It's so sad because I was
Speaker 1: so excited about him at their early in the season.
Speaker 1: But this goes back to my point yesterday, like it's
Speaker 1: hard to like bring your a game when you're not nest,
Speaker 1: like in a tough season, in a tough week where
Speaker 1: everybody's down. We should be doing the inactives right now,
Speaker 1: like meticulous you find shortcuts. Yeah, when it's not We're
Speaker 1: better than that, right, like work better than that. Way.
Speaker 1: It would be better if the head coach didn't sit
Speaker 1: there and say his starting quarterback his day to day
Speaker 1: and he might play or he might not play, because
Speaker 1: if he's like maybe on deck, then the whole thing
Speaker 1: from down How do you how do you know anything
Speaker 1: I know overgetting is these guys popping up on the report.
Speaker 1: We don't know anybody that's gonna play or not. I
Speaker 1: mean I think Dad, I think Dak, Tyron and Byron
Speaker 1: and to DeMarcus Lawrence will all suit up and play
Speaker 1: this game. If I had to guess, there you go.
Speaker 1: Those are those are those are most people care about.
Speaker 1: Those are my actives. I think Woods will play. Yeah,
Speaker 1: clearly he's a difference maker on times can't be Lately,
Speaker 1: he can't be times he just has sometimes he is
Speaker 1: sometimes he's not. It's funny to like we we talked
Speaker 1: about this a couple of years ago with Sean Lee
Speaker 1: because he missed a snap and centive and lost money.
Speaker 1: And remember that. And I saw Marcus Golden, the Giants
Speaker 1: defensive end got he earned like an extra two million
Speaker 1: dollars because the NFL stats corrected a half sack to
Speaker 1: a sack. A lot of these guys, I'm two and
Speaker 1: a half millions, don't you say. I don't remember it
Speaker 1: was a million. I think it was a million. But
Speaker 1: that's a lot for just the half a sack. He
Speaker 1: was a free agent that they just said, all right,
Speaker 1: you know he's played in other teams. They said, we'll
Speaker 1: sign to this and if you get tense, yeah, will
Speaker 1: give you a million. He was at nine. Yeah, they
Speaker 1: gave him a half secon. My point is not to
Speaker 1: be cynical, obviously, like you want to win and you
Speaker 1: want them to get in the playoffs. But there's a
Speaker 1: lot of reasons why a lot of these guys want
Speaker 1: to play in this game, because we don't know what's
Speaker 1: built into their contracts have anything to do with the win.
Speaker 1: It could be even as simple as like if you
Speaker 1: play all the snaps in this game, you bump your
Speaker 1: percentage up enough to earn an extra you know whatever,
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand dollars. It's just scary too, because the
Speaker 1: Cowboys were on the other end of that and they're like, yeah,
Speaker 1: oh for sure you're out. You're like, oh, maybe you
Speaker 1: don't want to play Antoine right right? So I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's an interesting stuf that answers the question that I
Speaker 1: was going to ask you. Guys, I've been receiving a
Speaker 1: questions from fans through Twitter, what do you think we
Speaker 1: will see on Sunday from the Boys, a team that
Speaker 1: is playing for pride or a Monday vacation. See, I
Speaker 1: don't a lot more than a Monday vacation. Not only that,
Speaker 1: but it's a lot more than just pride. It's a
Speaker 1: lot more than pride too. Like I, I don't expect
Speaker 1: them to be well, I didn't expect them to be
Speaker 1: flat last week and they were. That's I mean, if
Speaker 1: I knew what to expect, then we would have sounded
Speaker 1: a lot smarter all this season. Like our collective record
Speaker 1: picking these games is terrible because we never know how
Speaker 1: to we never know who's going to show up that's
Speaker 1: been the theme for the whole year. So I don't
Speaker 1: know how I can sit here and confidently say that
Speaker 1: I know, but I'll tell you like I don't know,
Speaker 1: the mood in this building this week has not been good.
Speaker 1: Would y'all agree with that? And I don't know if
Speaker 1: you know, but I think sometimes I think this. I
Speaker 1: think the mood we sometimes gage. I'll speak for myself.
Speaker 1: I sometimes gauge the mood by the people I'm around.
Speaker 1: That doesn't necessarily mean that's the mood of the team.
Speaker 1: And what I mean by that is like our group
Speaker 1: and a couple other groups that are around us all
Speaker 1: the time, when you judge the mood of that group, everybody,
Speaker 1: I think all I think a lot of employees around
Speaker 1: here are in a real weird mood right now, just
Speaker 1: because it's like what did we just go through? Like
Speaker 1: what was this season? We expected so much more? But
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's the players. I agree, but
Speaker 1: we got a glimpse at the player's mood yesterday and
Speaker 1: they seemed kind of grumpy. Like I'm okay with grumpy though.
Speaker 1: Zeke Elliott trugged off the media for the first time
Speaker 1: this and like that, I can ever remember like say
Speaker 1: what you will about Zeke, he's always super ready to
Speaker 1: get up and talk. He didn't want to do it yesterday.
Speaker 1: A couple other guys like saw the cameras coming and
Speaker 1: kind of just fled out of the locker room. Which
Speaker 1: they're not like I don't care that they don't want
Speaker 1: to do it, Like it's not your obligation. I'm not
Speaker 1: one of those people that gets all high and mighty
Speaker 1: like I don't care if you talk to us or not.
Speaker 1: But after that game, heading into this week, like this
Speaker 1: is the week that they're like, nascrew you guys. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I think it might be kind of telling.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. You're right about that with Zeke, and
Speaker 1: that was different. But but he does have this and
Speaker 1: this is, you know, kind of what he had said
Speaker 1: is he talks on Wednesdays. Every Wednesday, he's the first
Speaker 1: one there. He trucks on Wednesday game. They decided that
Speaker 1: pr decided with the help from the media, that they
Speaker 1: didn't want to go on Wednesday. On Christmas Day, we
Speaker 1: weren't going to do it. So they didn't do it.
Speaker 1: And by the way, so right, so now it's Thursday
Speaker 1: and he's like, no, I don't talk on Wednesday. If
Speaker 1: you want to show, you know, I'll talk on Wednesday.
Speaker 1: So that that's kind of where that was coming from.
Speaker 1: This guy was going through two years ago, all that
Speaker 1: legal stuff and all, you know, as he's suspended as
Speaker 1: he not, and he would talk every game through there,
Speaker 1: so he's typically been good. I don't want to kill
Speaker 1: him for that, But no, I don't want to. I don't,
Speaker 1: but you're right, I don't mean to throw him under
Speaker 1: the bus. I mean the rule of technically, yeah, like
Speaker 1: they kind of they space it out because it's convenient
Speaker 1: for reporters. One guy talks Wednesday, one Thursday, one Friday,
Speaker 1: but the rule just says you have to talk to
Speaker 1: the media once a week. Yeah, there's no like, there's
Speaker 1: no rule that's like, well you're the Wednesday guy and
Speaker 1: if so, yeah, by the way, he's actually done that
Speaker 1: on Sunday, so absolutely, which so I'm not trying to
Speaker 1: kill him. I just thought it was interesting that after
Speaker 1: such a disappointing loss, that was as grumpy and as
Speaker 1: non communicative as I've seen the locker room. Just I'll
Speaker 1: say this, even if the if the move is, if
Speaker 1: the mood is a grumpy mood. I'm good with that
Speaker 1: because sometimes, especially again and game of football, you kind
Speaker 1: of want some emotion. And I'm okay if they're kind
Speaker 1: of like a little a little mad, like they should
Speaker 1: be there. But I'm saying if if what Dave is
Speaker 1: reading is them being grumpy, then I'm okay with that.
Speaker 1: What I would be worried about if is if you
Speaker 1: sense that there was kind of who cares lack of
Speaker 1: days ago kind of attitude. That's where I would be
Speaker 1: more concerned than a grumpy attitude. Grumpy's fine with me.
Speaker 1: At this point. You should be mad because I know
Speaker 1: there are a lot of fans out they're listening right
Speaker 1: now that are livid. So they want the team to
Speaker 1: be mad right now right Well, I don't. I don't
Speaker 1: think they're Well, I don't know, but remember last week
Speaker 1: what I said prior to the game starting. I said, oh,
Speaker 1: I saw a few players and they just look depressed.
Speaker 1: They just look sad, like like they're not about to
Speaker 1: go play football in like an hour. Well, but you
Speaker 1: said somebody's faith the defense. You said, a couple of
Speaker 1: players on the defense side. I saw them prior to
Speaker 1: the game when we were getting on the buses and
Speaker 1: doing all that, and the mood and the vibe I got,
Speaker 1: I'm it wasn't normal because usually those guys, even when
Speaker 1: they're just off to themselves listening to music, they're still
Speaker 1: kind of life, you know, they're they're living. Yeah, But
Speaker 1: last week it was just like sad and depressed. And
Speaker 1: that's even different than mad, right, Sad is just kind
Speaker 1: of like you're almost resigned to your fate, you know,
Speaker 1: it's a little different. Mad is almost resolute, like I'm
Speaker 1: I'm mad, I'm going to do something about If that's again,
Speaker 1: if that's their attitude, if that's the mood, which I
Speaker 1: haven't been able to I haven't been in locker rooms.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's the mood. But if that
Speaker 1: is the mood, that's actually somewhat encouraging to me. If
Speaker 1: they if they're upset and if they're grumpy, I'll say this,
Speaker 1: I don't know how you can trust that they're going
Speaker 1: like maybe they will. I don't know how you can
Speaker 1: trust that they're going to come out on fire because
Speaker 1: they've been bad at that all year and now this
Speaker 1: is the first time that they have lost control of
Speaker 1: their destiny all year. Long, like they couldn't really get
Speaker 1: up for games on a consistent basis when it was
Speaker 1: right there in front of them, and now that it's
Speaker 1: been taken away. But wouldn't that be so much like
Speaker 1: this they come out and just slot of course the
Speaker 1: Redskins only to see the only see the Eagles win.
Speaker 1: It would also be right on brand for them if
Speaker 1: they were down ten halfway through the second and you're like, well,
Speaker 1: now we're up against it and we gotta we're in
Speaker 1: deep crap if we don't do something. I mean that
Speaker 1: tells you, like the delta between the good and the
Speaker 1: bad Cowboys this year, like they're all it's all over
Speaker 1: the map. You can't really get a good feel for
Speaker 1: it because it does change. Member Jason Garrett's first year,
Speaker 1: his full year with the team, what was their record?
Speaker 1: Eight name? Okay, what was the second year with eight? Name?

Speaker 1: welcome back, guys. Yesterday we talked quite a lot about
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott and his future here with the Cowboys, his contract,
Speaker 1: what he should, what he deserves or not deserves. So
Speaker 1: here's a question kind of going into that that I
Speaker 1: thought was kind of interesting. If Dak was a quarterback
Speaker 1: for any other team, what would our opinion be of
Speaker 1: him if he were playing like against the Cowboys? What
Speaker 1: would keep our defensive coordinators up worried? Like, would would
Speaker 1: Dak be a guy that you we come in here
Speaker 1: and be like, Okay, guys, we are facing Dak this week.
Speaker 1: How should this Cowboys defense prepare to go up against him? Honestly,
Speaker 1: don't think anybody in this group would be would be saying,
Speaker 1: oh my god, this is gonna be a really tough
Speaker 1: challenge and rank. That's a really weird question to ask
Speaker 1: because when you really get presented that way, all I
Speaker 1: could think of is that you're going to play Jameis Winston, right,
Speaker 1: And that's the problem. I don't agree with that. But no,
Speaker 1: the reason why I say that is because I would
Speaker 1: look at if we were playing the Buccaneers, the Cowboys
Speaker 1: playing Buccaneers. The way I would say that is, Hey,
Speaker 1: Jamis Swinston is a guy that can absolutely throw the
Speaker 1: ball around the yard. He can also give you some interceptions,
Speaker 1: and so all the stuff that he does, it's really great.
Speaker 1: It hasn't ended up ending up in wins by and large.
Speaker 1: I mean, know what, they're seven and eight, I think.
Speaker 1: So the point is like, yeah, he's got some really
Speaker 1: great skills. For whatever reason, it hasn't turned into something
Speaker 1: that can get them over the hump. So I don't
Speaker 1: look at him as a guy like say a Russell Wilson,
Speaker 1: you know those better quarterbacks of what when you talk
Speaker 1: about them, you're like, he's going to be a problem.
Speaker 1: I don't look at it the same way, and I
Speaker 1: think Dak falls in that category. And by the way,
Speaker 1: I think part of the reason why Dak falls into
Speaker 1: that category is not his own doing. I don't think
Speaker 1: that they utilize his skills and really utilize all of
Speaker 1: his skills enough to make him the threat that he
Speaker 1: would be otherwise, like they we talk about it all
Speaker 1: the time, if they would have more opportunities, they would
Speaker 1: create more opportunities in the game to use his legs.
Speaker 1: They would turn him into a multidimensional quarterback, and that's
Speaker 1: what he was earlier in his career. I don't think
Speaker 1: it's a I don't think it's a I don't think
Speaker 1: it's a coincidence that he doesn't have those come from
Speaker 1: behind wins this season and they're not running the ball.
Speaker 1: He's not running the ball regularly, because you can look
Speaker 1: back over his career, when they have to have some
Speaker 1: of those, they usually have a big run at some
Speaker 1: point in that drive when they're trying to win a game,
Speaker 1: he usually has a big run somewhere in there. And
Speaker 1: that's not something we're saying a lot of this season.
Speaker 1: I think if I had to come up with an
Speaker 1: analogy for Dak, a really good one and I promise
Speaker 1: I'm not just saying this because it's convenient, but probably
Speaker 1: Cam Newton. And that's and Dak is nowhere near the
Speaker 1: freakish athlete that Cam is. He's not running for a
Speaker 1: thousand yards even if you did utilize his legs. But
Speaker 1: he is a very good quarterback who is close to unstoppable.
Speaker 1: When his offense is humming and they are in the
Speaker 1: rhythm of what they want to do, they can run
Speaker 1: the ball. The run games working. The quarterback run is working,
Speaker 1: and they're scheming things that allow him to make I
Speaker 1: don't want to call him easy, but like the the
Speaker 1: easy throws or the throws that the defense gives you.
Speaker 1: But when you put the game on him and nothing
Speaker 1: else is working, and it's like we're gonna we're gonna
Speaker 1: put you in a well and you're just gonna have
Speaker 1: to beat us all on your own with nothing else working,
Speaker 1: I don't think Cam's very good at that. And I'm
Speaker 1: Dack to this point in his career is not very
Speaker 1: good at that. You know, a difference between what the
Speaker 1: Panthers were doing with that with Cam is that they
Speaker 1: would actually utilize him as a running back. Absolutely, But
Speaker 1: and that's probably why he's beat to hell, you know,
Speaker 1: and that's a that's a part of it. Here Is
Speaker 1: that a good idea because now they're having to play
Speaker 1: with guys that aren't you know, I think you have
Speaker 1: but you look at Russell. Russell is a guy that
Speaker 1: that will run him like that. No, no, exactly, but
Speaker 1: they run him and when he runs, when he runs,
Speaker 1: he is so smart. How many times do you see
Speaker 1: him get hit? Very rarely if he's running, Yeah, he's
Speaker 1: gonna either slide or he's gonna get out of bounds,
Speaker 1: but he does it on occasioned us for him, they do, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he does read option. But I just think it's it's
Speaker 1: a much more had a way of playing quarterback as
Speaker 1: a as a passer who can run, which is what
Speaker 1: I think Dack is. I don't think Dack's a great runner.
Speaker 1: I think Dak is a passer who can run, and
Speaker 1: I don't think they utilize his ability to run enough.
Speaker 1: You undred percent, you have to find the balance. You
Speaker 1: can't have him taking twenty five hits a game, but
Speaker 1: he's too valuable and that adds too much of a
Speaker 1: dimension for him to not be capable of running for
Speaker 1: even even twenty yards a game is so valuable. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's two first downs that could be a touchdown, etc.
Speaker 1: Especially in the red zone. Are you kidding me? Yep?
Speaker 1: The red zone is twenty yards. So I agree with that.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want him going full Cam in his prime.
Speaker 1: That's a terrible idea. But what I was going to
Speaker 1: say after that is Cam Newton has played some really
Speaker 1: shaky football in his career. He's also played well enough
Speaker 1: to win fifteen games and go to a Super Bowl,
Speaker 1: winning MVP in the process. I think Dak's capable of that,
Speaker 1: even he might not ever blossom into you know, a
Speaker 1: Drew Brees or Aaron Rodgers who can just do stuff
Speaker 1: when nothing else is working. But you can get to
Speaker 1: a super Bowl with a quarterback playing that way. But
Speaker 1: I first did it. But I think the scattering report
Speaker 1: that we would all have if the if you were
Speaker 1: playing the Cowboys would be stop Ezekiel Elliott and everything
Speaker 1: else will fall apart. That's been them is it's very
Speaker 1: rare that Zeke is not having a great game or
Speaker 1: they're not able to run the ball and the Cowboys
Speaker 1: still come out on top. Yeah, that's the scattering report.
Speaker 1: So when you look at that, then you're not thinking
Speaker 1: of Dak as the guy you really got to worry about.
Speaker 1: You're thinking it's Zeke stop Zeke. Everything else falls apart,
Speaker 1: and it's I mean, we've seen Dak. I mean the
Speaker 1: Vikings game is a perfect example, Like we've seen him
Speaker 1: be able to Obviously they didn't win, Like he's done
Speaker 1: that to a point. He threw for four hundred yards.
Speaker 1: He might still made some of the best throws of
Speaker 1: his career. But I, like I said, it's I think
Speaker 1: it's more complicated than just like, well, if the run's
Speaker 1: not working, Dak can't do anything. But like again, if
Speaker 1: the offense isn't in rhythm, which they need the run
Speaker 1: to be working for it to be in rhythm, he
Speaker 1: has improven on a consistent basis that he can six
Speaker 1: seed when it's not the case. Okay, I thought that
Speaker 1: was an interesting question. We never really look at it
Speaker 1: that way, you know, we look at it from our
Speaker 1: own perspective. Now here's another question. We a lot of
Speaker 1: people are still trying to figure out the role of
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore and whether he's done a good job this
Speaker 1: year or not. And that and we know he's at
Speaker 1: the start of his career, but there's a lot of
Speaker 1: confusion there as to easy really calling all the plays
Speaker 1: or how much input is there from Jason Garrett during
Speaker 1: a game. So I just wanted to get your opinion
Speaker 1: on this topic and what you currently think of Kellen
Speaker 1: Moore as a coach. Jason Garrett was asked that question
Speaker 1: in his press conference and his walk off, and he
Speaker 1: said that Kellen has done an excellent job this year.
Speaker 1: I don't I don't agree with that. I don't know
Speaker 1: how anybody can can say that he's done an excellent job.
Speaker 1: I mean, excellent would would not get you seven wins.
Speaker 1: There's I mean, there has been some really bad play calls. Um.
Speaker 1: I think he said that because there was some talk
Speaker 1: he had he had kind of sounded like he threw
Speaker 1: him under the bus earlier this week when he said
Speaker 1: that was Kellen that makes that decision or whatever. But UM,
Speaker 1: I think he's been I think he's been a um
Speaker 1: good for a guy that's done it his first year.
Speaker 1: But I don't think it's been good enough. Certainly had
Speaker 1: been excellent. Can I change the question a little bit?
Speaker 1: Who's better Lenahan last year or more this year? Kellen?
Speaker 1: I think I mean I think it's Is it that
Speaker 1: simple though, because yeah, the way you said it was
Speaker 1: just like, it's not. I mean, the offense has been
Speaker 1: good and obviously, I mean they won seven games. I
Speaker 1: get that it hasn't been excellent, but what was the
Speaker 1: offense not good? Last year? The offense was atrocious last
Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think it has it. What
Speaker 1: was I don't even know. Yeah, I care about rankings
Speaker 1: anymore because yeah, it was bad last year. It wasn't.
Speaker 1: I mean when when they got a Marii cooper in
Speaker 1: to the offense, they improved like three spots. They improved
Speaker 1: from twenty points a game to twenty two. They weren't
Speaker 1: awesome last year. Mari had some great games, Like, they
Speaker 1: were not incredible by any stretch of the imagination. They
Speaker 1: were better last year than this year. I think completely disagree.
Speaker 1: Especially if you're gonna say post If you're gonna say
Speaker 1: posta Mari, well, I think their offensive about know. I'm
Speaker 1: saying if you're if you're not going because if you
Speaker 1: want to, if you want to combine the whole year
Speaker 1: and say pre end posts, then maybe you have an argument.
Speaker 1: I think posta Mari. I think the offense did what
Speaker 1: they needed to do, and I thought they were I mean,
Speaker 1: they weren't good enough, but neither is this offense. And yes,
Speaker 1: this offense has put up more yards but and in
Speaker 1: some respects more points. But I still don't think that
Speaker 1: in crunch times and in games where they needed the offense,
Speaker 1: the offense this year has been non existed in some games,
Speaker 1: and and I just I don't I don't know if
Speaker 1: I could eas I don't know if I could as
Speaker 1: confidently say as you said that more is clearly better
Speaker 1: calling plays than what we saw from Lenahan last year.
Speaker 1: I think it's been better, and I think a better
Speaker 1: effort from the Cowboys defense would have this team comfortably
Speaker 1: in the playoffs by now. And that's even with eggs
Speaker 1: against New Orleans, New England and Philly. I mean, the
Speaker 1: offense has handled its share of the load better than
Speaker 1: the defense. I think this is one have you seen
Speaker 1: from the offense that has been better? Because again, when
Speaker 1: I look at it or tried to compare, I don't
Speaker 1: see any drastic change between what Lenahan did and what
Speaker 1: Killen Moore is currently doing. I mean, their efficiency is better,
Speaker 1: Like they move the ball again, it's coming we're coming
Speaker 1: off of this terrible game against Philadelphia, but by and large,
Speaker 1: they've moved the ball better and more consistently than they
Speaker 1: did last year, and they've scored more points. I think
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are the middle school team that gets to
Speaker 1: practice against elementary school and they just thrash them. But
Speaker 1: then they turn around on the next day and have
Speaker 1: to practice against the varsity in the high schools and
Speaker 1: they get beat like they are Classic eight and eighteen
Speaker 1: because they will beat up on teams that aren't very good,
Speaker 1: but when they go up against team that are better,
Speaker 1: like the better defenses. I mean, they have been terrible
Speaker 1: against good defenses this year. Aside from the Rams. They
Speaker 1: turned it on there. That's it. That's all you've got.
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore did a good job there, but Atlanahan had
Speaker 1: a couple of games like that too. They just haven't
Speaker 1: been good against good teams. They've been good against bad teams.
Speaker 1: And not only good, they've been great. Like some of
Speaker 1: the numbers they put up early in the season against
Speaker 1: those bad teams is what has them so far, Like
Speaker 1: it's what's pushed their numbers up so much to where
Speaker 1: they're leading the league in yards. But if you if
Speaker 1: you look at that and you look at again, if
Speaker 1: you look at it and balance what they did against
Speaker 1: the bad teams, I don't know if the argument can
Speaker 1: clearly be made that their offense is better this year
Speaker 1: than it was last year. I think this is selective.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think they played pretty damn good games
Speaker 1: against Green Bay in Minnesota, didn't win them, But the
Speaker 1: offense moved the ball in those games because they had
Speaker 1: to move the ball because they were down the whole game.
Speaker 1: I mean, so that they don't have to move the
Speaker 1: ball just because you're down. I mean, yeah, but defense
Speaker 1: has changed how they play you. When they got you
Speaker 1: by a couple of touchdowns, they got you by a
Speaker 1: sizeable amount later in the game. Bear, They're just gonna
Speaker 1: keep everything fun up so you can get yards on them.
Speaker 1: You know, I will go, I will go to my grave,
Speaker 1: Baffle Thatt. How Like that Packers game was just so
Speaker 1: frustrating because they were ripping through those guys like nobody's business,
Speaker 1: and they just couldn't stop turning the ball over, Which
Speaker 1: I mean, that's not Kellen Moore's fault. That's that that's
Speaker 1: might go to thing when you talk about like execution
Speaker 1: verse coaching is like, what's Jason Garrett and Kellen Moore
Speaker 1: supposed to do about that ball bouncing through Marie's hands
Speaker 1: and legitimately, like how much different is that game if
Speaker 1: it doesn't happen. Yeah, just little stuff like that's fair,
Speaker 1: all right. I just really they haven't been like they're
Speaker 1: the number one offense in the league, and I know
Speaker 1: that's hollow, Like I mean, some of those stats are
Speaker 1: totally hollow, but I just really don't think the offense
Speaker 1: has been this team's problem, even if I mean, even
Speaker 1: if you throw the New Orleans game up there or
Speaker 1: the New England game up there, I just think it's
Speaker 1: been way more about the defense. I do agree with you,
Speaker 1: it's been more about the defense. I just still think
Speaker 1: if you compare last year's offensive this year's offense, I
Speaker 1: think they've been pretty comparable. I don't know that. I
Speaker 1: think they've been appreciable, be better this year. We need
Speaker 1: to take our final break when we come back. Let's
Speaker 1: talk a little bit more about this cowboy's defense and
Speaker 1: what is going on there? Ready? Okayim? Yes? Oh what
Speaker 1: does that fell? So? Are we gonna win? Share? Just?

Speaker 1: on Duncan. Excludes colbrew, Limit one for guests. Participation may vary,
Speaker 1: limited time off the back to the break. Welcome back, guys. Now,
Speaker 1: I want to make sure we get some of these
Speaker 1: game day prediction. We have enough time to discuss us,
Speaker 1: so let's just jump right into that. Before we answered
Speaker 1: this last couple of questions that I got from some fans.
Speaker 1: So what do we think is going to happen this weekend?
Speaker 1: Two important games going on in the NFC East. Tan
Speaker 1: Tan tang Nick started off, I think the Cowboys will
Speaker 1: win the game. I think it'll be kind of tough
Speaker 1: because Washington is gonna make it tough on them. But
Speaker 1: I do think the Cowboys have enough going for them
Speaker 1: this week with those things I mentioned earlier to win
Speaker 1: this game. I mean, they're eleven point favorites in the game.
Speaker 1: That seems a little high, um, But I mean we
Speaker 1: understand why they're doing that. But I think the Cowboys
Speaker 1: will win the game. Um. And I think the Giants
Speaker 1: are going to beat the Eagles. I do. I mean,
Speaker 1: I just yes. The Eagles have won three in a row.
Speaker 1: Have they played well? No, Look at the last two
Speaker 1: games the Eagles have played on the road. They went
Speaker 1: to the Dolphins, they lost. They went to the Redskins,
Speaker 1: they they had, they won. They scored in the final
Speaker 1: minute of the game to win that game, and you know,
Speaker 1: and keep their season alive. So I don't think they're
Speaker 1: playing that great. They barely beat the Giants. Daniel Jones
Speaker 1: is now playing in that game they're playing, the Giants
Speaker 1: are playing the Giants. I think will will win the game.
Speaker 1: And I think that the Cowboys are going to get
Speaker 1: into the playoffs. So that's one I think it's gonna
Speaker 1: happen there. You're making all kinds of facial expressions. Clearly
Speaker 1: you don't think. No, I'm think I think. I think
Speaker 1: the Cowboys win. I think the Cowboys win a close game.
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be seventeen sixteen. I think it's
Speaker 1: gonna be a game that you know, as you watch it,
Speaker 1: you're just gonna be like, you know, there will be
Speaker 1: some frustrating moments. But I think it's the seventeen sixteen
Speaker 1: game Cowboys win. I also think the Eagles win. I
Speaker 1: just I was telling Nick, I was saying this in
Speaker 1: the one of the breaks like it that would just
Speaker 1: require a certain amount of luck for the Eagles to
Speaker 1: lose that game and the Cowboys win and getting the
Speaker 1: playoffs that way, And luck has not been on the
Speaker 1: Cowboys side this year. I just don't expect that to happen.
Speaker 1: But even beyond that, if you just look at it
Speaker 1: from a football standpoint, even though the Eagle Eagles have
Speaker 1: not played great football down the stretch, they've been winning
Speaker 1: and they've been figuring out a way to win in
Speaker 1: close games and games where they're behind, they figure out
Speaker 1: a way to win. And I just think that this team,
Speaker 1: the Eagles I'm talking about, I think they have a
Speaker 1: little bit. They have a little bit of a little
Speaker 1: bit more of that. We just figure it out when
Speaker 1: we need to figure it out. That's why I'm picking
Speaker 1: them to lose, because that doesn't that's not who they are,
Speaker 1: that's not what they're team. I mean, that's not what
Speaker 1: their team has been. So when you keep playing that way,
Speaker 1: you keep you keep lighting a match, you're gonna get
Speaker 1: hit in the face. But we've seen this movie before.
Speaker 1: It happened when they went to a Super Bowl and
Speaker 1: I kept I'm sure a lot of people out there
Speaker 1: listening kept doing the same thing, like, well, eventually the
Speaker 1: Eagles are gonna fall out the face because that's who
Speaker 1: they are. Nick I said they would that year. Yeah,
Speaker 1: three team, But I'm saying, no, nobody expected them to
Speaker 1: two what they were going to do. And I think
Speaker 1: it's the same thing here. I think they have a
Speaker 1: belief that if we put our minds to it, we
Speaker 1: can do it. And it's actually worked out for them
Speaker 1: just a few years ago and just a couple of
Speaker 1: years ago. And I just think that that's the kind
Speaker 1: of team that that I would if I were facing
Speaker 1: the Eagles this week, I'd be a little bit afraid
Speaker 1: because I think that they are. They're one of those
Speaker 1: kinds of teams. Daniel Jones is better than lying right now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think he's better for that offabe, but a little bit.
Speaker 1: Maybe that's all they needed, was just a little bit
Speaker 1: to beat this team on the road. Sometimes teams played
Speaker 1: to the competition, right, I mean yeah, I mean Cowboys,
Speaker 1: that's my point. They're gonna play to the giants competition
Speaker 1: the Giants, and that means they'll be a little bit better.
Speaker 1: They'll still be a little bit let it better, that's
Speaker 1: all right, Cowboys. Cowboys beat the Eagles by thirty and
Speaker 1: then couldn't score a touchdown on them in the same season,
Speaker 1: So I don't buy that. Um, the Cowboys will beat
Speaker 1: the Redskins. I mean, they made me look really dumb
Speaker 1: last week because they would. Yeah, I mean, you're right,
Speaker 1: I said they You know, they play well against the
Speaker 1: NFC East, and the Eagles are banged up. They supplies
Speaker 1: to the Redskins as well, their division team. They're extremely
Speaker 1: banged up the Cowboy. The Cowboys are at home. They
Speaker 1: should just be able to find a way to win.
Speaker 1: It probably won't be pretty, because that nothing they've done
Speaker 1: has been pretty since well the Rams was but that's
Speaker 1: one out of five games. I believe you said yesterday
Speaker 1: twenty to sixteen. You know they'll it'll be it'll be gross,
Speaker 1: but they'll find a way to win. Um, the Eagles
Speaker 1: live and breathe this. This is the third year in
Speaker 1: a row where they've had to really batten down the
Speaker 1: hatches to make it happen in this time of year.
Speaker 1: Even even the year they went thirteen and three, they
Speaker 1: lost their quarterback with a month to play and had
Speaker 1: to grit through it. They needed a miracle last year.
Speaker 1: And I mean, this is a team that knows how
Speaker 1: to win the Super Bowl. Like there are guys on
Speaker 1: that roster that have been through that, and I think
Speaker 1: you know they it won't be pretty for them either.
Speaker 1: They're not going to blow the Giants out, but I
Speaker 1: think they've got the grit in the experience to batten
Speaker 1: down the hatches and win that game. And so I
Speaker 1: think the Cowboys win, but I don't think they'll make
Speaker 1: the playoffs. I'm with you, guys, not Nick. I think nothing.
Speaker 1: I always do find the way to win this game
Speaker 1: against the Redskins. But it's just gonna come down to like,
Speaker 1: oh that wasn't enough they won it, but oh well,
Speaker 1: look out the other games that they lost and shoot
Speaker 1: have won, which at this point can't do anything about
Speaker 1: it now. But it's just I don't see it happening.
Speaker 1: I think that the Eagles are going to find the
Speaker 1: way to beat the Giants despite of their quarterback, and
Speaker 1: that's gonna be the end for the Cowboys this year.
Speaker 1: I do get I get Nick's point that, like, it's
Speaker 1: not a foregtten conclusion that the Eagles win that game.
Speaker 1: It's not, and it'll be close because the Giants have
Speaker 1: played good football over the last month relative to what
Speaker 1: they and by the way the Eagles are the Eagles
Speaker 1: like they have they're not a good team. I just
Speaker 1: think they're a resolute team and they've been figuring out
Speaker 1: how to win. I would argue the Eagles are a
Speaker 1: mediocre team because they've been so hurt. I like, I
Speaker 1: don't think I mean, if they were one hundred percent healthy,
Speaker 1: I don't think they would have the middling record that
Speaker 1: they They're not getting healthier at this No, no, no,
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like I think there's a difference between
Speaker 1: the Eagles eight and seven and the Cowboys seven and eight.
Speaker 1: Like the Cowboys have just been a disappointing team. As
Speaker 1: healthy as they've been, they should have been better. Ye
Speaker 1: I don't know how you can't. You're sitting there, well,
Speaker 1: you know these basic How can you be so confident
Speaker 1: about I'm not this scenario, confident about anything about. I
Speaker 1: just feel like you're when you're an average team, you
Speaker 1: you that's where you you end up. And I think
Speaker 1: the Eagles are very average. Yes, they might be talented.
Speaker 1: I mean they might be at that point for different
Speaker 1: reasons than the Cowboys, but I I still think that
Speaker 1: they're there. And I watched them play against the Giants
Speaker 1: and they were fortunate to win that game. I watched
Speaker 1: some of that Redskin game. We were, you know, trying
Speaker 1: to work, but I saw a little how that game
Speaker 1: was going, and they were fortunate to win that game.
Speaker 1: And then the Cowboy game, you know, they did a
Speaker 1: good job. They played better. Dallas didn't help, I mean, themselves.
Speaker 1: So I just feel like, here they are against the Giants,
Speaker 1: four o'clock start up there, Daniel Jones, sae Quon Barkley,
Speaker 1: the way they're moving the football, Golden Tates certainly would
Speaker 1: like to win that game. You know, against the Eagles.
Speaker 1: I just think that they're gonna have enough to play
Speaker 1: for him. And I think the way the Eagles are
Speaker 1: playing that their luck's gonna run out. And I will
Speaker 1: say this one thing that does I think factor in
Speaker 1: and may help that a little bit, is zach Ertz
Speaker 1: having that that ri of injury. Like it's one thing
Speaker 1: to finish a game when your adrenaline's already up and
Speaker 1: they shoot you up and you're able to kind of
Speaker 1: manage to But if you notice there was a play third,
Speaker 1: third or fourth quarter where he got hit out of bound,
Speaker 1: like coming going out of bounds, it took him a
Speaker 1: good while to get back on his feet like he was.
Speaker 1: It was not in rib injuries that every time you breathe,
Speaker 1: So he's been going through an entire week of every
Speaker 1: time he breathes, he realizes he has a rib injury,
Speaker 1: and that just has a way of weighing on you mentally.
Speaker 1: I think that you take him out of this game
Speaker 1: if he's not able to be as effective as you
Speaker 1: want him to be, Like you could lose a lot
Speaker 1: of receivers on that team. Everybody knows zach Ertz is
Speaker 1: the best receiving threat that they have on that team,
Speaker 1: you take him out of the mix from not being
Speaker 1: zach Ertz, that could affect you, and that could affect
Speaker 1: you significantly. And so I think from that standpoint, that
Speaker 1: is an area where just looking at the xs and
Speaker 1: os that might actually being be something that helps the
Speaker 1: Giants be able get to win. What would be more fun?
Speaker 1: I mean, and I mean it won't be fun for
Speaker 1: anybody involved if you're a fan of any of the teams,
Speaker 1: But like, would it be more fun if the Cowboys
Speaker 1: are just handling the Redskins, like I mean, they're just
Speaker 1: cruising and like everybody's watching to see what happens in
Speaker 1: this Giant's Eagles games? Or would it be more fun
Speaker 1: if both games come down to the wire. That would
Speaker 1: be wild if, like, you know, that would be fun
Speaker 1: Cowboys are driving to beat the Redskins and the Eagles
Speaker 1: are trying to hold off the Giants, and you're like
Speaker 1: a couple of plays here or there. I really wouldn't
Speaker 1: because honestly, at this point, I can't take I'm actually
Speaker 1: rooting for fun at this point because I don't know,
Speaker 1: you know, NFL red Zone would go bonker. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: that's kind of what you want to see is you
