WEBVTT - Cowboys Break: Playoff Bound? 0:00:04.160 --> 0:00:06.720 The following. He's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:06.760 --> 0:00:18.840 and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. Are you ready for 0:00:18.880 --> 0:00:22.560 a break? Yes? Are you ready for a break? Absolutely? 0:00:22.720 --> 0:00:26.920 Ready for a break? Yeah, and so much for that. 0:00:27.120 --> 0:00:32.280 It's time for The Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:33.080 --> 0:00:39.720 with Nick Eatman, David Hellman, and bar Garcia and Derek Eagleton. Hello, guys, 0:00:39.760 --> 0:00:43.640 welcome to another episode of The Break. Derek decided to 0:00:43.680 --> 0:00:47.839 be lazy today, but the Cowboys didn't. They started their 0:00:47.880 --> 0:00:51.159 practice not too long ago, so I just wanted to 0:00:51.400 --> 0:00:55.640 jump right in into the guys that have been practicing 0:00:55.720 --> 0:00:59.240 today of one of the main one being Dak Prescott. 0:00:59.240 --> 0:01:02.720 Whether or not he's been throwing some balls around and 0:01:02.800 --> 0:01:05.399 what he's been able to do so far. Nope, wasn't 0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:09.360 throwing on Friday, That's nope. I mean we only see 0:01:09.400 --> 0:01:12.440 fifteen minutes of a ninety minute practice, but he wasn't throwing. No. 0:01:12.640 --> 0:01:15.000 Jason Garrett said that he's going to do exactly what 0:01:15.040 --> 0:01:18.120 he did last week and just kind of just kind 0:01:18.120 --> 0:01:21.160 of amp up as the week goes on, hopefully not exactly. 0:01:21.400 --> 0:01:24.520 That's what he said that he's gonna, you know, that's 0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:27.560 what worked last week for them. I mean, I hear 0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:30.559 what you're saying, and you said that last week. Dat 0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:33.039 Dak kind of touched on that yesterday in the locker room. 0:01:33.080 --> 0:01:35.880 He said something along the lines of, didn't make the 0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:37.880 plays last week. I know I have to. I felt 0:01:37.880 --> 0:01:41.640 like my mental preparation was there, but you know, physically 0:01:41.880 --> 0:01:43.840 I didn't do it. But at the same time, you know, 0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:46.039 you've got to rest it so that it's ready to 0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:48.680 go on Sunday. And I mean, obviously it did not 0:01:48.760 --> 0:01:52.320 work last week. But if he's throwing thirty reps per 0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:55.720 day during the week and wearing his already sore shoulder out, 0:01:55.800 --> 0:01:58.120 I think he'll look even worse on Sunday. This is 0:01:58.120 --> 0:02:00.680 the first time he's at to miss practices career, right, 0:02:00.760 --> 0:02:03.800 a pro career. Yeah, So I do wonder if some 0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:06.640 of this may be he's having to learn how to 0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:09.000 not practice, you know what I mean, you don't have 0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:12.280 to learn how to get ready without practicing, And maybe 0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:13.840 that means he can be better this week than he 0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:15.959 was last week because he learned something and last week 0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:18.920 about how you prepare when you can't actually take the route. 0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:22.920 I mean, Tyron Smith didn't practice again today back injury, 0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:27.480 you guys feeling with the old line and what it's 0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:30.360 happening there at the moment, because you take that and 0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:33.920 then combine it with what Dak is going through. Joe, 0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:36.880 I mean you're down to your third option at left guard. Sure, 0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:39.240 and then yeah, your whole left side could be I mean, 0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:41.400 could be Camp Fleming and Joe Looney on the left side. 0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:44.320 It really could be. And you know, but you know, 0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:47.080 Garrett said, when they asked about Tyring, he said, we'll 0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:48.760 take it there by day. I can't tell if he's 0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:51.119 gonna play. But then they also was asked the same 0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:53.160 question about Dak and he was like, we'll see. It's 0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:55.160 day by day. So he wouldn't say that he's going 0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:58.520 to play in the game. He just he wouldn't say anything. Again, well, 0:02:58.560 --> 0:03:03.520 we'll find out tomorrow if they do anything with the quarterback. 0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:06.960 They seem like got a ton of tackles. Yeah, well 0:03:06.960 --> 0:03:10.480 they have Brandon Knight, obviously, they got Cam Fleming. Mitch 0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:13.400 Hyatt's on the roster, and they signed another guy, right, 0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:16.480 didn't they sign him? Yeah, you're right, they signed Wyatt 0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:20.799 Miller during the day off. By the Miller and Hyatt, 0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:22.760 I don't know if you want to put them into 0:03:22.760 --> 0:03:25.720 a game, especially not at tackle, Like if Hyatt was 0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:27.079 going to play, I almost think it would be a 0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:31.959 guard first. But yeah, they do have those guys. They do. 0:03:32.160 --> 0:03:35.200 I think Tyn I think Tyron will play. And Byron 0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:37.160 Jones is another one. He didn't practice today with an 0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:40.000 ankle injury. Law to Marcus Lauren, he was out there, 0:03:40.000 --> 0:03:41.920 but he wasn't doing a lot. I think those guys 0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:46.920 will play. Okay, Well, we don't get the whole practice. No, 0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:50.840 I wasn't saying that fo period, And it's basically that's 0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:52.800 what it is. I mean, we don't know what's going 0:03:52.840 --> 0:03:58.680 on stretches, special teams, drills, and a handful of my 0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:01.200 response my responts is about the fact that just all 0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:03.800 these guys are just popping up on the injury Like 0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:06.320 we know that nobody's healthy. That's a part of the 0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:08.320 NFL this part of the year, you're not going to 0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:10.600 be healthy, but it just seems like guys this week 0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:13.240 are just kind of popping up on the injury report. 0:04:13.320 --> 0:04:15.280 It just that seems weird. What are you trying to say? 0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:16.840 I don't know, I'm just asking. It just seems weird. 0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:18.360 I don't know, it may not seem weird to hear 0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:20.200 it from a lot of guys popping up this week. 0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:23.200 Cowboy are cow Tank got hurt in the Eagles game, 0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:26.080 right and then but the rest and I guess Byron 0:04:26.160 --> 0:04:30.239 did too Woods. But that's the rest of these guys, 0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:33.359 is it. He's hurt his knee three weeks ago? I 0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:36.359 mean hip hipping ink? Oh okay, you know that's what 0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:38.720 I get for not reading the report that closely. I 0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:41.080 mean his name was like it must be the My 0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:43.360 point is that the report has had about eighteen guys 0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:45.480 on it for most of the month of December, so 0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:48.000 I don't know about popping up. I mean Tank is 0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:51.240 a new one. Yeah, that's fair, all right. Well, how 0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:54.680 comfortable are you feeling with what you got so far 0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:58.440 and going into this weekend? Yeah? I think against I 0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:01.520 think what the Cowboys have in wise is nothing compared 0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:05.520 to what the Redskins have. No, And I as also 0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:08.680 think talent wise, I think the Cowboys are better team 0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:12.160 than the Redskins. So, and they have something to play 0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:15.160 for which you'd like to think it would be something 0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:17.880 that that would help them. So for those three reasons, 0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:21.000 and being at home, so those four reasons they should 0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:22.640 go on. Well, you know how you love next man 0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:25.760 up and how it always works, so you know it 0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:28.440 always works for the Cowboys the next man up theory, 0:05:28.600 --> 0:05:30.600 but the next man up for the Redskins. The where 0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:34.360 they are is, you know, the Redskins moved Monte Nicholson 0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:38.400 and Fabian Moreaud at IR today and Bill Callahan confirmed 0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:42.320 that Landon Collins is out, as is somebody else who's 0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:45.400 a McLarin. Thank you, Terry McLarin. So that's seventy five 0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:48.880 best receiver, seventy five percent of their starting secondary and 0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:51.719 their best receiver. So yeah, like I dow Washington wants 0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:54.039 to hear about injuries, just like Philly didn't want to 0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:56.919 hear about it. You know, Yeah, the Cowboys are the 0:05:56.920 --> 0:06:01.159 healthier team. Doesn't necessarily mean now they'll do anything with it. 0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:03.279 They didn't last week. Again, you know, we don't get 0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:06.280 the big sample size of practice, but we're watching this 0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:08.560 and I'm I'm sitting here and listening to this. You know, 0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:11.520 they got rap music going on. It's loudest, I mean, 0:06:11.560 --> 0:06:14.960 it's trying to pump up everything. And I see Dak 0:06:15.000 --> 0:06:17.440 and he's and I'm like, he's not doing anything and 0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:20.400 I'm like, where's Cooper, Like I just wanted to where's 0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:22.560 Maria nineteen. I'm looking for him and I'm like, oh, 0:06:22.600 --> 0:06:25.280 there he is just running like Patent go just down 0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:28.320 the field forty yard passes and I'm looking. I saw 0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:30.120 one play and it was deep ball to him. I 0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:32.640 just want to see if he was in there deep ball. 0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:37.359 He put out one hand, dropped it. This decided to 0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:39.400 just do a forty yard one hand and dropped it. 0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:42.120 And I was just like, m that's exactly what I 0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:44.560 remember from the Eagle game, you know, I was that 0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:46.960 was it. So that's that's what I saw out of 0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:50.360 a Maria Cooper could have had a great practice after that. 0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:52.960 He's practicing right now. But for the one play that 0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:56.599 I saw was a one handed half asked, you know, 0:06:56.640 --> 0:06:58.840 attempt for a deep ball. Well, the one thing that 0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:01.520 we do know is that he plays pretty good games 0:07:01.680 --> 0:07:05.200 at AT and T Stadium. Rethinking you're you're rethinking your 0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:08.360 Cowboys in the playoffs stance or no, no, no, I'm 0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:12.440 in cool. How is our going to the playoffs? Yeah? Okay, 0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:15.760 that's I guess. Hey, we had this debate off the 0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:19.000 end and it's locked in. Okay, nobody couldn't come in. No, 0:07:19.080 --> 0:07:21.400 you're not getting any new there. No, Because I said 0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:23.080 it the other day up in the office, and I 0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:24.760 got like three or four people that are like in, 0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:28.760 you know, um, so it's me, Derek, and lindsay right, 0:07:28.760 --> 0:07:31.360 that's the only three people that jumped in on them. Okay, 0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:34.960 so whoever's right gets lunch on the Other one is 0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:38.840 that now we're doing this all day, all right, do 0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:42.760 we want to hit the inactives real quick? Sure? Throw 0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:47.080 it out there. Luck with that with all those guys injured. 0:07:47.120 --> 0:07:51.560 I mean, like, yeah, I mean I think that. I mean, 0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:54.400 I know Dak's gonna play, right, Tyron will probably play. 0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:57.640 I think by about that. No, I said, I think 0:07:57.680 --> 0:07:59.640 I think he'll play. This is tough to do this, 0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:03.760 it is, but and fans don't care if there's get 0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:06.600 me forty six guys that could play. Yeah, I mean, 0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:09.160 I'm glad you. Like literally, when Amber said it, I 0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:10.920 was about to say, do we care this week? I 0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:16.000 don't don't. All Right, Devin Smith, the two rookie offensive lineman, 0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:21.720 I'd say, maybe Devin plays a swing. Maybe they think 0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:23.680 he's got an option. It's so sad because I was 0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:26.960 so excited about him at their early in the season. 0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:30.200 But this goes back to my point yesterday, like it's 0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:33.000 hard to like bring your a game when you're not nest, 0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:35.200 like in a tough season, in a tough week where 0:08:35.200 --> 0:08:38.400 everybody's down. We should be doing the inactives right now, 0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:42.720 like meticulous you find shortcuts. Yeah, when it's not We're 0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:45.679 better than that, right, like work better than that. Way. 0:08:45.720 --> 0:08:47.800 It would be better if the head coach didn't sit 0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:49.760 there and say his starting quarterback his day to day 0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:51.560 and he might play or he might not play, because 0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:54.280 if he's like maybe on deck, then the whole thing 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:56.760 from down How do you how do you know anything 0:08:56.840 --> 0:09:00.360 I know overgetting is these guys popping up on the report. 0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:03.240 We don't know anybody that's gonna play or not. I 0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:06.760 mean I think Dad, I think Dak, Tyron and Byron 0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:09.800 and to DeMarcus Lawrence will all suit up and play 0:09:09.800 --> 0:09:11.880 this game. If I had to guess, there you go. 0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:14.720 Those are those are those are most people care about. 0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:17.320 Those are my actives. I think Woods will play. Yeah, 0:09:18.320 --> 0:09:25.200 clearly he's a difference maker on times can't be Lately, 0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:27.640 he can't be times he just has sometimes he is 0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:30.000 sometimes he's not. It's funny to like we we talked 0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:31.839 about this a couple of years ago with Sean Lee 0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:34.440 because he missed a snap and centive and lost money. 0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:37.640 And remember that. And I saw Marcus Golden, the Giants 0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:40.600 defensive end got he earned like an extra two million 0:09:40.600 --> 0:09:44.160 dollars because the NFL stats corrected a half sack to 0:09:44.200 --> 0:09:47.440 a sack. A lot of these guys, I'm two and 0:09:47.480 --> 0:09:49.319 a half millions, don't you say. I don't remember it 0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:52.160 was a million. I think it was a million. But 0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:54.640 that's a lot for just the half a sack. He 0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:56.719 was a free agent that they just said, all right, 0:09:56.920 --> 0:09:59.680 you know he's played in other teams. They said, we'll 0:09:59.720 --> 0:10:04.240 sign to this and if you get tense, yeah, will 0:10:04.240 --> 0:10:06.240 give you a million. He was at nine. Yeah, they 0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:09.560 gave him a half secon. My point is not to 0:10:09.600 --> 0:10:11.560 be cynical, obviously, like you want to win and you 0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:13.240 want them to get in the playoffs. But there's a 0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:15.240 lot of reasons why a lot of these guys want 0:10:15.240 --> 0:10:17.200 to play in this game, because we don't know what's 0:10:17.200 --> 0:10:19.240 built into their contracts have anything to do with the win. 0:10:19.360 --> 0:10:21.200 It could be even as simple as like if you 0:10:21.240 --> 0:10:23.160 play all the snaps in this game, you bump your 0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:25.760 percentage up enough to earn an extra you know whatever, 0:10:25.800 --> 0:10:28.400 one hundred thousand dollars. It's just scary too, because the 0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:31.000 Cowboys were on the other end of that and they're like, yeah, 0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:33.720 oh for sure you're out. You're like, oh, maybe you 0:10:33.720 --> 0:10:36.920 don't want to play Antoine right right? So I don't know. 0:10:36.920 --> 0:10:40.200 It's an interesting stuf that answers the question that I 0:10:40.280 --> 0:10:42.120 was going to ask you. Guys, I've been receiving a 0:10:42.240 --> 0:10:46.600 questions from fans through Twitter, what do you think we 0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:50.160 will see on Sunday from the Boys, a team that 0:10:50.320 --> 0:10:56.400 is playing for pride or a Monday vacation. See, I 0:10:56.400 --> 0:10:59.480 don't a lot more than a Monday vacation. Not only that, 0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:01.400 but it's a lot more than just pride. It's a 0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:04.840 lot more than pride too. Like I, I don't expect 0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:06.760 them to be well, I didn't expect them to be 0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:08.800 flat last week and they were. That's I mean, if 0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:10.840 I knew what to expect, then we would have sounded 0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:13.640 a lot smarter all this season. Like our collective record 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:16.520 picking these games is terrible because we never know how 0:11:16.520 --> 0:11:18.360 to we never know who's going to show up that's 0:11:18.400 --> 0:11:20.520 been the theme for the whole year. So I don't 0:11:20.520 --> 0:11:23.480 know how I can sit here and confidently say that 0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:25.960 I know, but I'll tell you like I don't know, 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:28.840 the mood in this building this week has not been good. 0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:30.640 Would y'all agree with that? And I don't know if 0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:33.240 you know, but I think sometimes I think this. I 0:11:33.280 --> 0:11:36.240 think the mood we sometimes gage. I'll speak for myself. 0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:39.360 I sometimes gauge the mood by the people I'm around. 0:11:39.640 --> 0:11:42.160 That doesn't necessarily mean that's the mood of the team. 0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:44.360 And what I mean by that is like our group 0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:46.440 and a couple other groups that are around us all 0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:49.520 the time, when you judge the mood of that group, everybody, 0:11:49.559 --> 0:11:51.920 I think all I think a lot of employees around 0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:54.000 here are in a real weird mood right now, just 0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:55.800 because it's like what did we just go through? Like 0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:58.120 what was this season? We expected so much more? But 0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:00.719 I don't know if that's the players. I agree, but 0:12:00.840 --> 0:12:04.200 we got a glimpse at the player's mood yesterday and 0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:07.920 they seemed kind of grumpy. Like I'm okay with grumpy though. 0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:10.520 Zeke Elliott trugged off the media for the first time 0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:12.959 this and like that, I can ever remember like say 0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:15.160 what you will about Zeke, he's always super ready to 0:12:15.160 --> 0:12:17.320 get up and talk. He didn't want to do it yesterday. 0:12:18.160 --> 0:12:20.680 A couple other guys like saw the cameras coming and 0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:22.600 kind of just fled out of the locker room. Which 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:25.640 they're not like I don't care that they don't want 0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:27.760 to do it, Like it's not your obligation. I'm not 0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:29.839 one of those people that gets all high and mighty 0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:31.440 like I don't care if you talk to us or not. 0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:35.719 But after that game, heading into this week, like this 0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:37.640 is the week that they're like, nascrew you guys. I 0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:39.280 don't know. I think it might be kind of telling. 0:12:39.360 --> 0:12:41.520 Here's the thing. You're right about that with Zeke, and 0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:44.600 that was different. But but he does have this and 0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:46.400 this is, you know, kind of what he had said 0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:50.160 is he talks on Wednesdays. Every Wednesday, he's the first 0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:53.240 one there. He trucks on Wednesday game. They decided that 0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:55.960 pr decided with the help from the media, that they 0:12:56.000 --> 0:12:58.360 didn't want to go on Wednesday. On Christmas Day, we 0:12:58.360 --> 0:12:59.959 weren't going to do it. So they didn't do it. 0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:03.439 And by the way, so right, so now it's Thursday 0:13:03.559 --> 0:13:05.680 and he's like, no, I don't talk on Wednesday. If 0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:08.080 you want to show, you know, I'll talk on Wednesday. 0:13:08.120 --> 0:13:10.120 So that that's kind of where that was coming from. 0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:12.520 This guy was going through two years ago, all that 0:13:12.600 --> 0:13:15.080 legal stuff and all, you know, as he's suspended as 0:13:15.120 --> 0:13:17.559 he not, and he would talk every game through there, 0:13:17.679 --> 0:13:20.120 so he's typically been good. I don't want to kill 0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:22.400 him for that, But no, I don't want to. I don't, 0:13:22.520 --> 0:13:24.000 but you're right, I don't mean to throw him under 0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:27.080 the bus. I mean the rule of technically, yeah, like 0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:29.360 they kind of they space it out because it's convenient 0:13:29.400 --> 0:13:32.160 for reporters. One guy talks Wednesday, one Thursday, one Friday, 0:13:32.240 --> 0:13:33.960 but the rule just says you have to talk to 0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:36.040 the media once a week. Yeah, there's no like, there's 0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:38.000 no rule that's like, well you're the Wednesday guy and 0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:40.800 if so, yeah, by the way, he's actually done that 0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:43.760 on Sunday, so absolutely, which so I'm not trying to 0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:46.319 kill him. I just thought it was interesting that after 0:13:46.520 --> 0:13:50.000 such a disappointing loss, that was as grumpy and as 0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:54.719 non communicative as I've seen the locker room. Just I'll 0:13:54.760 --> 0:13:57.480 say this, even if the if the move is, if 0:13:57.480 --> 0:14:00.320 the mood is a grumpy mood. I'm good with that 0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:04.080 because sometimes, especially again and game of football, you kind 0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:06.600 of want some emotion. And I'm okay if they're kind 0:14:06.600 --> 0:14:09.199 of like a little a little mad, like they should 0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:13.520 be there. But I'm saying if if what Dave is 0:14:14.080 --> 0:14:17.079 reading is them being grumpy, then I'm okay with that. 0:14:17.360 --> 0:14:19.880 What I would be worried about if is if you 0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:23.440 sense that there was kind of who cares lack of 0:14:23.520 --> 0:14:25.600 days ago kind of attitude. That's where I would be 0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:28.240 more concerned than a grumpy attitude. Grumpy's fine with me. 0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:30.080 At this point. You should be mad because I know 0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:31.560 there are a lot of fans out they're listening right 0:14:31.600 --> 0:14:33.800 now that are livid. So they want the team to 0:14:33.800 --> 0:14:37.320 be mad right now right Well, I don't. I don't 0:14:37.360 --> 0:14:40.600 think they're Well, I don't know, but remember last week 0:14:40.640 --> 0:14:44.400 what I said prior to the game starting. I said, oh, 0:14:44.440 --> 0:14:47.520 I saw a few players and they just look depressed. 0:14:47.560 --> 0:14:50.520 They just look sad, like like they're not about to 0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:54.040 go play football in like an hour. Well, but you 0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:57.440 said somebody's faith the defense. You said, a couple of 0:14:57.800 --> 0:15:01.320 players on the defense side. I saw them prior to 0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:03.360 the game when we were getting on the buses and 0:15:03.440 --> 0:15:06.800 doing all that, and the mood and the vibe I got, 0:15:06.840 --> 0:15:09.720 I'm it wasn't normal because usually those guys, even when 0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:13.240 they're just off to themselves listening to music, they're still 0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:17.200 kind of life, you know, they're they're living. Yeah, But 0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:20.840 last week it was just like sad and depressed. And 0:15:20.880 --> 0:15:23.800 that's even different than mad, right, Sad is just kind 0:15:23.840 --> 0:15:27.400 of like you're almost resigned to your fate, you know, 0:15:27.480 --> 0:15:31.840 it's a little different. Mad is almost resolute, like I'm 0:15:32.200 --> 0:15:35.880 I'm mad, I'm going to do something about If that's again, 0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:38.560 if that's their attitude, if that's the mood, which I 0:15:38.600 --> 0:15:40.160 haven't been able to I haven't been in locker rooms. 0:15:40.160 --> 0:15:41.400 I don't know if that's the mood. But if that 0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:44.280 is the mood, that's actually somewhat encouraging to me. If 0:15:44.320 --> 0:15:47.360 they if they're upset and if they're grumpy, I'll say this, 0:15:47.520 --> 0:15:51.000 I don't know how you can trust that they're going 0:15:51.160 --> 0:15:52.800 like maybe they will. I don't know how you can 0:15:52.840 --> 0:15:55.560 trust that they're going to come out on fire because 0:15:55.960 --> 0:15:58.440 they've been bad at that all year and now this 0:15:58.520 --> 0:16:00.960 is the first time that they have lost control of 0:16:01.000 --> 0:16:04.160 their destiny all year. Long, like they couldn't really get 0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:06.280 up for games on a consistent basis when it was 0:16:06.400 --> 0:16:07.880 right there in front of them, and now that it's 0:16:07.880 --> 0:16:10.400 been taken away. But wouldn't that be so much like 0:16:10.480 --> 0:16:13.520 this they come out and just slot of course the 0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:16.320 Redskins only to see the only see the Eagles win. 0:16:16.400 --> 0:16:19.280 It would also be right on brand for them if 0:16:19.280 --> 0:16:22.160 they were down ten halfway through the second and you're like, well, 0:16:22.200 --> 0:16:24.760 now we're up against it and we gotta we're in 0:16:24.840 --> 0:16:26.720 deep crap if we don't do something. I mean that 0:16:26.800 --> 0:16:28.840 tells you, like the delta between the good and the 0:16:28.880 --> 0:16:31.120 bad Cowboys this year, like they're all it's all over 0:16:31.160 --> 0:16:33.000 the map. You can't really get a good feel for 0:16:33.040 --> 0:16:36.360 it because it does change. Member Jason Garrett's first year, 0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:39.520 his full year with the team, what was their record? 0:16:39.720 --> 0:16:42.000 Eight name? Okay, what was the second year with eight? Name? 0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:44.760 What was this? So? What was his last year with 0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:51.240 the team.

Yesterday we talked quite a lot about 0:19:02.640 --> 0:19:06.720 Dak Prescott and his future here with the Cowboys, his contract, 0:19:06.800 --> 0:19:11.400 what he should, what he deserves or not deserves. So 0:19:11.480 --> 0:19:13.760 here's a question kind of going into that that I 0:19:13.760 --> 0:19:16.920 thought was kind of interesting. If Dak was a quarterback 0:19:16.960 --> 0:19:20.000 for any other team, what would our opinion be of 0:19:20.200 --> 0:19:25.840 him if he were playing like against the Cowboys? What 0:19:25.960 --> 0:19:31.760 would keep our defensive coordinators up worried? Like, would would 0:19:31.880 --> 0:19:33.920 Dak be a guy that you we come in here 0:19:33.920 --> 0:19:36.960 and be like, Okay, guys, we are facing Dak this week. 0:19:37.480 --> 0:19:42.040 How should this Cowboys defense prepare to go up against him? Honestly, 0:19:42.119 --> 0:19:47.480 don't think anybody in this group would be would be saying, 0:19:47.840 --> 0:19:49.480 oh my god, this is gonna be a really tough 0:19:49.560 --> 0:19:53.280 challenge and rank. That's a really weird question to ask 0:19:53.280 --> 0:19:55.000 because when you really get presented that way, all I 0:19:55.000 --> 0:19:57.960 could think of is that you're going to play Jameis Winston, right, 0:19:58.000 --> 0:20:00.560 And that's the problem. I don't agree with that. But no, 0:20:00.600 --> 0:20:02.200 the reason why I say that is because I would 0:20:02.200 --> 0:20:04.119 look at if we were playing the Buccaneers, the Cowboys 0:20:04.160 --> 0:20:06.920 playing Buccaneers. The way I would say that is, Hey, 0:20:07.000 --> 0:20:09.520 Jamis Swinston is a guy that can absolutely throw the 0:20:09.520 --> 0:20:12.520 ball around the yard. He can also give you some interceptions, 0:20:12.680 --> 0:20:14.920 and so all the stuff that he does, it's really great. 0:20:15.080 --> 0:20:19.200 It hasn't ended up ending up in wins by and large. 0:20:19.200 --> 0:20:20.800 I mean, know what, they're seven and eight, I think. 0:20:21.320 --> 0:20:24.640 So the point is like, yeah, he's got some really 0:20:24.680 --> 0:20:28.280 great skills. For whatever reason, it hasn't turned into something 0:20:28.320 --> 0:20:30.280 that can get them over the hump. So I don't 0:20:30.280 --> 0:20:33.360 look at him as a guy like say a Russell Wilson, 0:20:33.440 --> 0:20:35.200 you know those better quarterbacks of what when you talk 0:20:35.200 --> 0:20:37.240 about them, you're like, he's going to be a problem. 0:20:37.520 --> 0:20:38.800 I don't look at it the same way, and I 0:20:38.800 --> 0:20:40.800 think Dak falls in that category. And by the way, 0:20:41.080 --> 0:20:42.880 I think part of the reason why Dak falls into 0:20:42.960 --> 0:20:45.760 that category is not his own doing. I don't think 0:20:45.800 --> 0:20:49.720 that they utilize his skills and really utilize all of 0:20:49.720 --> 0:20:52.159 his skills enough to make him the threat that he 0:20:52.160 --> 0:20:54.560 would be otherwise, like they we talk about it all 0:20:54.600 --> 0:20:57.200 the time, if they would have more opportunities, they would 0:20:57.200 --> 0:20:59.919 create more opportunities in the game to use his legs. 0:21:00.200 --> 0:21:03.640 They would turn him into a multidimensional quarterback, and that's 0:21:03.640 --> 0:21:05.640 what he was earlier in his career. I don't think 0:21:05.640 --> 0:21:07.919 it's a I don't think it's a I don't think 0:21:07.920 --> 0:21:10.840 it's a coincidence that he doesn't have those come from 0:21:10.840 --> 0:21:13.360 behind wins this season and they're not running the ball. 0:21:13.480 --> 0:21:15.639 He's not running the ball regularly, because you can look 0:21:15.640 --> 0:21:17.080 back over his career, when they have to have some 0:21:17.119 --> 0:21:19.639 of those, they usually have a big run at some 0:21:19.720 --> 0:21:22.240 point in that drive when they're trying to win a game, 0:21:22.400 --> 0:21:24.960 he usually has a big run somewhere in there. And 0:21:25.000 --> 0:21:26.959 that's not something we're saying a lot of this season. 0:21:27.119 --> 0:21:28.560 I think if I had to come up with an 0:21:28.560 --> 0:21:32.040 analogy for Dak, a really good one and I promise 0:21:32.119 --> 0:21:35.119 I'm not just saying this because it's convenient, but probably 0:21:35.119 --> 0:21:40.000 Cam Newton. And that's and Dak is nowhere near the 0:21:40.080 --> 0:21:42.280 freakish athlete that Cam is. He's not running for a 0:21:42.280 --> 0:21:44.920 thousand yards even if you did utilize his legs. But 0:21:45.640 --> 0:21:51.600 he is a very good quarterback who is close to unstoppable. 0:21:51.640 --> 0:21:53.720 When his offense is humming and they are in the 0:21:53.800 --> 0:21:55.800 rhythm of what they want to do, they can run 0:21:55.800 --> 0:21:58.920 the ball. The run games working. The quarterback run is working, 0:21:59.200 --> 0:22:01.920 and they're scheming things that allow him to make I 0:22:01.960 --> 0:22:03.720 don't want to call him easy, but like the the 0:22:03.880 --> 0:22:06.560 easy throws or the throws that the defense gives you. 0:22:07.320 --> 0:22:09.720 But when you put the game on him and nothing 0:22:09.720 --> 0:22:12.120 else is working, and it's like we're gonna we're gonna 0:22:12.160 --> 0:22:14.199 put you in a well and you're just gonna have 0:22:14.240 --> 0:22:16.960 to beat us all on your own with nothing else working, 0:22:17.280 --> 0:22:19.160 I don't think Cam's very good at that. And I'm 0:22:19.320 --> 0:22:21.000 Dack to this point in his career is not very 0:22:21.000 --> 0:22:23.320 good at that. You know, a difference between what the 0:22:23.320 --> 0:22:25.879 Panthers were doing with that with Cam is that they 0:22:26.080 --> 0:22:28.720 would actually utilize him as a running back. Absolutely, But 0:22:29.080 --> 0:22:32.359 and that's probably why he's beat to hell, you know, 0:22:32.400 --> 0:22:34.159 and that's a that's a part of it. Here Is 0:22:34.160 --> 0:22:36.560 that a good idea because now they're having to play 0:22:36.560 --> 0:22:38.919 with guys that aren't you know, I think you have 0:22:39.080 --> 0:22:41.280 but you look at Russell. Russell is a guy that 0:22:41.280 --> 0:22:43.320 that will run him like that. No, no, exactly, but 0:22:43.359 --> 0:22:45.919 they run him and when he runs, when he runs, 0:22:45.960 --> 0:22:47.800 he is so smart. How many times do you see 0:22:47.880 --> 0:22:50.560 him get hit? Very rarely if he's running, Yeah, he's 0:22:50.600 --> 0:22:52.479 gonna either slide or he's gonna get out of bounds, 0:22:52.640 --> 0:22:56.160 but he does it on occasioned us for him, they do, Yeah, 0:22:56.280 --> 0:22:59.400 he does read option. But I just think it's it's 0:22:59.440 --> 0:23:01.679 a much more had a way of playing quarterback as 0:23:01.760 --> 0:23:04.480 a as a passer who can run, which is what 0:23:04.560 --> 0:23:06.480 I think Dack is. I don't think Dack's a great runner. 0:23:06.560 --> 0:23:08.800 I think Dak is a passer who can run, and 0:23:08.840 --> 0:23:11.160 I don't think they utilize his ability to run enough. 0:23:11.280 --> 0:23:14.040 You undred percent, you have to find the balance. You 0:23:14.040 --> 0:23:16.240 can't have him taking twenty five hits a game, but 0:23:16.800 --> 0:23:18.600 he's too valuable and that adds too much of a 0:23:18.640 --> 0:23:21.040 dimension for him to not be capable of running for 0:23:21.160 --> 0:23:25.239 even even twenty yards a game is so valuable. I mean, 0:23:25.240 --> 0:23:27.960 that's two first downs that could be a touchdown, etc. 0:23:28.520 --> 0:23:30.239 Especially in the red zone. Are you kidding me? Yep? 0:23:30.359 --> 0:23:33.600 The red zone is twenty yards. So I agree with that. 0:23:33.840 --> 0:23:36.359 I wouldn't want him going full Cam in his prime. 0:23:36.480 --> 0:23:39.240 That's a terrible idea. But what I was going to 0:23:39.320 --> 0:23:42.760 say after that is Cam Newton has played some really 0:23:42.760 --> 0:23:45.360 shaky football in his career. He's also played well enough 0:23:45.400 --> 0:23:47.480 to win fifteen games and go to a Super Bowl, 0:23:47.600 --> 0:23:51.320 winning MVP in the process. I think Dak's capable of that, 0:23:51.640 --> 0:23:54.720 even he might not ever blossom into you know, a 0:23:54.800 --> 0:23:57.480 Drew Brees or Aaron Rodgers who can just do stuff 0:23:57.520 --> 0:24:00.840 when nothing else is working. But you can get to 0:24:00.840 --> 0:24:02.879 a super Bowl with a quarterback playing that way. But 0:24:02.960 --> 0:24:04.960 I first did it. But I think the scattering report 0:24:05.000 --> 0:24:07.160 that we would all have if the if you were 0:24:07.200 --> 0:24:11.520 playing the Cowboys would be stop Ezekiel Elliott and everything 0:24:11.520 --> 0:24:15.000 else will fall apart. That's been them is it's very 0:24:15.080 --> 0:24:19.119 rare that Zeke is not having a great game or 0:24:19.119 --> 0:24:21.320 they're not able to run the ball and the Cowboys 0:24:21.320 --> 0:24:23.359 still come out on top. Yeah, that's the scattering report. 0:24:23.440 --> 0:24:25.359 So when you look at that, then you're not thinking 0:24:25.400 --> 0:24:28.040 of Dak as the guy you really got to worry about. 0:24:28.080 --> 0:24:31.639 You're thinking it's Zeke stop Zeke. Everything else falls apart, 0:24:31.760 --> 0:24:34.320 and it's I mean, we've seen Dak. I mean the 0:24:34.400 --> 0:24:37.120 Vikings game is a perfect example, Like we've seen him 0:24:37.200 --> 0:24:40.480 be able to Obviously they didn't win, Like he's done 0:24:40.480 --> 0:24:42.120 that to a point. He threw for four hundred yards. 0:24:42.119 --> 0:24:44.240 He might still made some of the best throws of 0:24:44.280 --> 0:24:47.560 his career. But I, like I said, it's I think 0:24:47.560 --> 0:24:49.600 it's more complicated than just like, well, if the run's 0:24:49.640 --> 0:24:52.120 not working, Dak can't do anything. But like again, if 0:24:52.160 --> 0:24:55.240 the offense isn't in rhythm, which they need the run 0:24:55.320 --> 0:24:57.680 to be working for it to be in rhythm, he 0:24:57.720 --> 0:24:59.920 has improven on a consistent basis that he can six 0:25:00.040 --> 0:25:03.320 seed when it's not the case. Okay, I thought that 0:25:03.359 --> 0:25:06.239 was an interesting question. We never really look at it 0:25:06.280 --> 0:25:07.919 that way, you know, we look at it from our 0:25:07.960 --> 0:25:12.320 own perspective. Now here's another question. We a lot of 0:25:12.320 --> 0:25:15.280 people are still trying to figure out the role of 0:25:15.400 --> 0:25:17.800 Kellen Moore and whether he's done a good job this 0:25:17.880 --> 0:25:20.760 year or not. And that and we know he's at 0:25:20.800 --> 0:25:24.239 the start of his career, but there's a lot of 0:25:24.280 --> 0:25:28.600 confusion there as to easy really calling all the plays 0:25:28.760 --> 0:25:32.520 or how much input is there from Jason Garrett during 0:25:32.640 --> 0:25:35.000 a game. So I just wanted to get your opinion 0:25:35.040 --> 0:25:38.639 on this topic and what you currently think of Kellen 0:25:38.720 --> 0:25:43.080 Moore as a coach. Jason Garrett was asked that question 0:25:43.160 --> 0:25:45.320 in his press conference and his walk off, and he 0:25:45.400 --> 0:25:48.120 said that Kellen has done an excellent job this year. 0:25:49.720 --> 0:25:51.960 I don't I don't agree with that. I don't know 0:25:51.960 --> 0:25:55.400 how anybody can can say that he's done an excellent job. 0:25:55.520 --> 0:25:58.800 I mean, excellent would would not get you seven wins. 0:25:59.240 --> 0:26:02.880 There's I mean, there has been some really bad play calls. Um. 0:26:02.920 --> 0:26:05.600 I think he said that because there was some talk 0:26:05.920 --> 0:26:07.640 he had he had kind of sounded like he threw 0:26:07.720 --> 0:26:09.680 him under the bus earlier this week when he said 0:26:09.720 --> 0:26:13.000 that was Kellen that makes that decision or whatever. But UM, 0:26:13.720 --> 0:26:16.399 I think he's been I think he's been a um 0:26:17.880 --> 0:26:20.840 good for a guy that's done it his first year. 0:26:21.320 --> 0:26:23.560 But I don't think it's been good enough. Certainly had 0:26:23.600 --> 0:26:25.880 been excellent. Can I change the question a little bit? 0:26:26.600 --> 0:26:29.560 Who's better Lenahan last year or more this year? Kellen? 0:26:30.280 --> 0:26:32.840 I think I mean I think it's Is it that 0:26:32.880 --> 0:26:34.560 simple though, because yeah, the way you said it was 0:26:34.600 --> 0:26:38.240 just like, it's not. I mean, the offense has been 0:26:38.280 --> 0:26:41.000 good and obviously, I mean they won seven games. I 0:26:41.040 --> 0:26:44.080 get that it hasn't been excellent, but what was the 0:26:44.119 --> 0:26:47.200 offense not good? Last year? The offense was atrocious last 0:26:47.240 --> 0:26:49.480 I don't think. I don't think it has it. What 0:26:49.520 --> 0:26:52.120 was I don't even know. Yeah, I care about rankings 0:26:52.160 --> 0:26:57.040 anymore because yeah, it was bad last year. It wasn't. 0:26:57.160 --> 0:26:59.879 I mean when when they got a Marii cooper in 0:27:00.040 --> 0:27:03.240 to the offense, they improved like three spots. They improved 0:27:03.240 --> 0:27:06.720 from twenty points a game to twenty two. They weren't 0:27:06.760 --> 0:27:09.040 awesome last year. Mari had some great games, Like, they 0:27:09.080 --> 0:27:12.120 were not incredible by any stretch of the imagination. They 0:27:12.119 --> 0:27:16.000 were better last year than this year. I think completely disagree. 0:27:16.119 --> 0:27:18.119 Especially if you're gonna say post If you're gonna say 0:27:18.160 --> 0:27:21.080 posta Mari, well, I think their offensive about know. I'm 0:27:21.080 --> 0:27:22.840 saying if you're if you're not going because if you 0:27:22.840 --> 0:27:24.480 want to, if you want to combine the whole year 0:27:24.480 --> 0:27:27.040 and say pre end posts, then maybe you have an argument. 0:27:27.080 --> 0:27:30.040 I think posta Mari. I think the offense did what 0:27:30.080 --> 0:27:32.040 they needed to do, and I thought they were I mean, 0:27:32.040 --> 0:27:35.440 they weren't good enough, but neither is this offense. And yes, 0:27:35.520 --> 0:27:38.240 this offense has put up more yards but and in 0:27:38.280 --> 0:27:40.760 some respects more points. But I still don't think that 0:27:40.840 --> 0:27:43.119 in crunch times and in games where they needed the offense, 0:27:43.359 --> 0:27:46.000 the offense this year has been non existed in some games, 0:27:46.400 --> 0:27:48.399 and and I just I don't I don't know if 0:27:48.440 --> 0:27:50.040 I could eas I don't know if I could as 0:27:50.080 --> 0:27:54.320 confidently say as you said that more is clearly better 0:27:54.800 --> 0:27:57.400 calling plays than what we saw from Lenahan last year. 0:27:57.440 --> 0:27:59.320 I think it's been better, and I think a better 0:27:59.440 --> 0:28:02.320 effort from the Cowboys defense would have this team comfortably 0:28:02.320 --> 0:28:05.200 in the playoffs by now. And that's even with eggs 0:28:05.240 --> 0:28:10.040 against New Orleans, New England and Philly. I mean, the 0:28:10.160 --> 0:28:12.520 offense has handled its share of the load better than 0:28:12.560 --> 0:28:14.520 the defense. I think this is one have you seen 0:28:14.560 --> 0:28:17.120 from the offense that has been better? Because again, when 0:28:17.119 --> 0:28:19.160 I look at it or tried to compare, I don't 0:28:19.200 --> 0:28:23.919 see any drastic change between what Lenahan did and what 0:28:24.080 --> 0:28:29.240 Killen Moore is currently doing. I mean, their efficiency is better, 0:28:29.320 --> 0:28:31.879 Like they move the ball again, it's coming we're coming 0:28:31.880 --> 0:28:35.119 off of this terrible game against Philadelphia, but by and large, 0:28:35.840 --> 0:28:38.040 they've moved the ball better and more consistently than they 0:28:38.040 --> 0:28:39.920 did last year, and they've scored more points. I think 0:28:39.960 --> 0:28:44.920 the Cowboys are the middle school team that gets to 0:28:45.000 --> 0:28:48.560 practice against elementary school and they just thrash them. But 0:28:48.600 --> 0:28:50.600 then they turn around on the next day and have 0:28:50.680 --> 0:28:53.000 to practice against the varsity in the high schools and 0:28:53.040 --> 0:28:55.800 they get beat like they are Classic eight and eighteen 0:28:55.880 --> 0:28:58.480 because they will beat up on teams that aren't very good, 0:28:58.720 --> 0:29:00.640 but when they go up against team that are better, 0:29:00.720 --> 0:29:03.080 like the better defenses. I mean, they have been terrible 0:29:03.120 --> 0:29:06.480 against good defenses this year. Aside from the Rams. They 0:29:06.640 --> 0:29:09.400 turned it on there. That's it. That's all you've got. 0:29:09.520 --> 0:29:11.520 Kellen Moore did a good job there, but Atlanahan had 0:29:11.520 --> 0:29:13.680 a couple of games like that too. They just haven't 0:29:13.720 --> 0:29:16.600 been good against good teams. They've been good against bad teams. 0:29:17.120 --> 0:29:18.800 And not only good, they've been great. Like some of 0:29:18.840 --> 0:29:20.560 the numbers they put up early in the season against 0:29:20.560 --> 0:29:23.320 those bad teams is what has them so far, Like 0:29:23.920 --> 0:29:26.040 it's what's pushed their numbers up so much to where 0:29:26.080 --> 0:29:29.400 they're leading the league in yards. But if you if 0:29:29.440 --> 0:29:30.920 you look at that and you look at again, if 0:29:30.960 --> 0:29:33.040 you look at it and balance what they did against 0:29:33.040 --> 0:29:35.120 the bad teams, I don't know if the argument can 0:29:35.200 --> 0:29:37.880 clearly be made that their offense is better this year 0:29:37.880 --> 0:29:40.000 than it was last year. I think this is selective. 0:29:40.120 --> 0:29:42.520 I mean, I think they played pretty damn good games 0:29:42.520 --> 0:29:45.160 against Green Bay in Minnesota, didn't win them, But the 0:29:45.200 --> 0:29:47.560 offense moved the ball in those games because they had 0:29:47.600 --> 0:29:49.680 to move the ball because they were down the whole game. 0:29:49.840 --> 0:29:52.120 I mean, so that they don't have to move the 0:29:52.160 --> 0:29:54.240 ball just because you're down. I mean, yeah, but defense 0:29:54.280 --> 0:29:55.920 has changed how they play you. When they got you 0:29:55.960 --> 0:29:57.760 by a couple of touchdowns, they got you by a 0:29:57.800 --> 0:30:00.400 sizeable amount later in the game. Bear, They're just gonna 0:30:00.440 --> 0:30:02.560 keep everything fun up so you can get yards on them. 0:30:02.600 --> 0:30:05.560 You know, I will go, I will go to my grave, 0:30:05.720 --> 0:30:10.080 Baffle Thatt. How Like that Packers game was just so 0:30:10.160 --> 0:30:13.520 frustrating because they were ripping through those guys like nobody's business, 0:30:13.600 --> 0:30:16.520 and they just couldn't stop turning the ball over, Which 0:30:16.560 --> 0:30:20.120 I mean, that's not Kellen Moore's fault. That's that that's 0:30:20.200 --> 0:30:22.440 might go to thing when you talk about like execution 0:30:22.520 --> 0:30:24.720 verse coaching is like, what's Jason Garrett and Kellen Moore 0:30:24.720 --> 0:30:27.320 supposed to do about that ball bouncing through Marie's hands 0:30:27.320 --> 0:30:29.640 and legitimately, like how much different is that game if 0:30:29.680 --> 0:30:32.640 it doesn't happen. Yeah, just little stuff like that's fair, 0:30:32.840 --> 0:30:36.280 all right. I just really they haven't been like they're 0:30:36.320 --> 0:30:38.040 the number one offense in the league, and I know 0:30:38.120 --> 0:30:40.280 that's hollow, Like I mean, some of those stats are 0:30:40.280 --> 0:30:43.560 totally hollow, but I just really don't think the offense 0:30:43.600 --> 0:30:45.720 has been this team's problem, even if I mean, even 0:30:45.760 --> 0:30:47.480 if you throw the New Orleans game up there or 0:30:47.520 --> 0:30:50.080 the New England game up there, I just think it's 0:30:50.080 --> 0:30:51.840 been way more about the defense. I do agree with you, 0:30:51.880 --> 0:30:53.640 it's been more about the defense. I just still think 0:30:53.680 --> 0:30:56.000 if you compare last year's offensive this year's offense, I 0:30:56.000 --> 0:30:58.680 think they've been pretty comparable. I don't know that. I 0:30:58.720 --> 0:31:01.719 think they've been appreciable, be better this year. We need 0:31:01.760 --> 0:31:04.880 to take our final break when we come back. Let's 0:31:04.880 --> 0:31:07.800 talk a little bit more about this cowboy's defense and 0:31:07.840 --> 0:31:20.760 what is going on there? Ready? Okayim? Yes? Oh what 0:31:20.880 --> 0:31:28.000 does that fell? So? Are we gonna win? Share?

Welcome back, guys. Now, 0:33:15.920 --> 0:33:18.720 I want to make sure we get some of these 0:33:19.400 --> 0:33:22.479 game day prediction. We have enough time to discuss us, 0:33:22.480 --> 0:33:25.880 so let's just jump right into that. Before we answered 0:33:26.000 --> 0:33:29.520 this last couple of questions that I got from some fans. 0:33:29.640 --> 0:33:34.760 So what do we think is going to happen this weekend? 0:33:35.160 --> 0:33:40.040 Two important games going on in the NFC East. Tan 0:33:40.160 --> 0:33:44.560 Tan tang Nick started off, I think the Cowboys will 0:33:44.600 --> 0:33:46.680 win the game. I think it'll be kind of tough 0:33:46.800 --> 0:33:49.800 because Washington is gonna make it tough on them. But 0:33:49.880 --> 0:33:52.080 I do think the Cowboys have enough going for them 0:33:52.200 --> 0:33:55.920 this week with those things I mentioned earlier to win 0:33:56.000 --> 0:33:58.480 this game. I mean, they're eleven point favorites in the game. 0:33:58.800 --> 0:34:01.960 That seems a little high, um, But I mean we 0:34:02.040 --> 0:34:05.440 understand why they're doing that. But I think the Cowboys 0:34:05.440 --> 0:34:08.400 will win the game. Um. And I think the Giants 0:34:08.440 --> 0:34:10.120 are going to beat the Eagles. I do. I mean, 0:34:10.280 --> 0:34:13.200 I just yes. The Eagles have won three in a row. 0:34:13.320 --> 0:34:16.200 Have they played well? No, Look at the last two 0:34:16.200 --> 0:34:18.239 games the Eagles have played on the road. They went 0:34:18.280 --> 0:34:21.000 to the Dolphins, they lost. They went to the Redskins, 0:34:21.600 --> 0:34:23.879 they they had, they won. They scored in the final 0:34:23.920 --> 0:34:26.759 minute of the game to win that game, and you know, 0:34:27.000 --> 0:34:30.040 and keep their season alive. So I don't think they're 0:34:30.080 --> 0:34:32.840 playing that great. They barely beat the Giants. Daniel Jones 0:34:32.880 --> 0:34:35.240 is now playing in that game they're playing, the Giants 0:34:35.280 --> 0:34:37.680 are playing the Giants. I think will will win the game. 0:34:37.760 --> 0:34:39.960 And I think that the Cowboys are going to get 0:34:40.000 --> 0:34:43.759 into the playoffs. So that's one I think it's gonna 0:34:43.800 --> 0:34:52.080 happen there. You're making all kinds of facial expressions. Clearly 0:34:52.120 --> 0:34:54.920 you don't think. No, I'm think I think. I think 0:34:54.920 --> 0:34:56.920 the Cowboys win. I think the Cowboys win a close game. 0:34:56.960 --> 0:34:58.960 I think it's gonna be seventeen sixteen. I think it's 0:34:58.960 --> 0:35:01.160 gonna be a game that you know, as you watch it, 0:35:01.200 --> 0:35:03.560 you're just gonna be like, you know, there will be 0:35:03.640 --> 0:35:05.720 some frustrating moments. But I think it's the seventeen sixteen 0:35:05.719 --> 0:35:08.759 game Cowboys win. I also think the Eagles win. I 0:35:09.120 --> 0:35:11.759 just I was telling Nick, I was saying this in 0:35:11.760 --> 0:35:14.640 the one of the breaks like it that would just 0:35:14.680 --> 0:35:17.440 require a certain amount of luck for the Eagles to 0:35:17.520 --> 0:35:19.480 lose that game and the Cowboys win and getting the 0:35:19.520 --> 0:35:21.719 playoffs that way, And luck has not been on the 0:35:21.719 --> 0:35:24.160 Cowboys side this year. I just don't expect that to happen. 0:35:24.200 --> 0:35:26.080 But even beyond that, if you just look at it 0:35:26.120 --> 0:35:29.239 from a football standpoint, even though the Eagle Eagles have 0:35:29.400 --> 0:35:32.120 not played great football down the stretch, they've been winning 0:35:32.440 --> 0:35:34.279 and they've been figuring out a way to win in 0:35:34.320 --> 0:35:37.160 close games and games where they're behind, they figure out 0:35:37.160 --> 0:35:39.520 a way to win. And I just think that this team, 0:35:40.160 --> 0:35:43.080 the Eagles I'm talking about, I think they have a 0:35:43.120 --> 0:35:45.280 little bit. They have a little bit of a little 0:35:45.280 --> 0:35:47.960 bit more of that. We just figure it out when 0:35:47.960 --> 0:35:50.080 we need to figure it out. That's why I'm picking 0:35:50.080 --> 0:35:53.200 them to lose, because that doesn't that's not who they are, 0:35:53.320 --> 0:35:55.440 that's not what they're team. I mean, that's not what 0:35:55.480 --> 0:35:58.600 their team has been. So when you keep playing that way, 0:35:58.760 --> 0:36:01.319 you keep you keep lighting a match, you're gonna get 0:36:01.400 --> 0:36:04.960 hit in the face. But we've seen this movie before. 0:36:05.280 --> 0:36:06.880 It happened when they went to a Super Bowl and 0:36:06.920 --> 0:36:08.560 I kept I'm sure a lot of people out there 0:36:08.640 --> 0:36:10.640 listening kept doing the same thing, like, well, eventually the 0:36:10.640 --> 0:36:12.239 Eagles are gonna fall out the face because that's who 0:36:12.239 --> 0:36:14.399 they are. Nick I said they would that year. Yeah, 0:36:15.160 --> 0:36:19.000 three team, But I'm saying, no, nobody expected them to 0:36:19.000 --> 0:36:21.160 two what they were going to do. And I think 0:36:21.160 --> 0:36:23.440 it's the same thing here. I think they have a 0:36:23.520 --> 0:36:25.960 belief that if we put our minds to it, we 0:36:26.000 --> 0:36:28.359 can do it. And it's actually worked out for them 0:36:28.400 --> 0:36:30.400 just a few years ago and just a couple of 0:36:30.480 --> 0:36:33.399 years ago. And I just think that that's the kind 0:36:33.440 --> 0:36:35.960 of team that that I would if I were facing 0:36:35.960 --> 0:36:37.720 the Eagles this week, I'd be a little bit afraid 0:36:37.840 --> 0:36:39.799 because I think that they are. They're one of those 0:36:39.840 --> 0:36:42.839 kinds of teams. Daniel Jones is better than lying right now. Yeah, 0:36:42.840 --> 0:36:45.560 I think he's better for that offabe, but a little bit. 0:36:45.719 --> 0:36:48.920 Maybe that's all they needed, was just a little bit 0:36:49.000 --> 0:36:52.040 to beat this team on the road. Sometimes teams played 0:36:52.080 --> 0:36:54.680 to the competition, right, I mean yeah, I mean Cowboys, 0:36:54.840 --> 0:36:57.040 that's my point. They're gonna play to the giants competition 0:36:57.080 --> 0:36:59.000 the Giants, and that means they'll be a little bit better. 0:36:59.200 --> 0:37:00.960 They'll still be a little bit let it better, that's 0:37:01.000 --> 0:37:04.239 all right, Cowboys. Cowboys beat the Eagles by thirty and 0:37:04.239 --> 0:37:06.520 then couldn't score a touchdown on them in the same season, 0:37:06.560 --> 0:37:10.000 So I don't buy that. Um, the Cowboys will beat 0:37:10.000 --> 0:37:12.720 the Redskins. I mean, they made me look really dumb 0:37:12.840 --> 0:37:15.839 last week because they would. Yeah, I mean, you're right, 0:37:17.160 --> 0:37:18.719 I said they You know, they play well against the 0:37:18.840 --> 0:37:21.000 NFC East, and the Eagles are banged up. They supplies 0:37:21.040 --> 0:37:23.840 to the Redskins as well, their division team. They're extremely 0:37:23.840 --> 0:37:27.120 banged up the Cowboy. The Cowboys are at home. They 0:37:27.160 --> 0:37:28.560 should just be able to find a way to win. 0:37:28.719 --> 0:37:32.319 It probably won't be pretty, because that nothing they've done 0:37:32.320 --> 0:37:34.839 has been pretty since well the Rams was but that's 0:37:34.920 --> 0:37:37.320 one out of five games. I believe you said yesterday 0:37:38.040 --> 0:37:42.560 twenty to sixteen. You know they'll it'll be it'll be gross, 0:37:42.640 --> 0:37:46.240 but they'll find a way to win. Um, the Eagles 0:37:46.640 --> 0:37:48.920 live and breathe this. This is the third year in 0:37:48.920 --> 0:37:51.000 a row where they've had to really batten down the 0:37:51.040 --> 0:37:53.160 hatches to make it happen in this time of year. 0:37:53.200 --> 0:37:55.000 Even even the year they went thirteen and three, they 0:37:55.000 --> 0:37:56.960 lost their quarterback with a month to play and had 0:37:56.960 --> 0:37:59.520 to grit through it. They needed a miracle last year. 0:38:00.560 --> 0:38:02.400 And I mean, this is a team that knows how 0:38:02.440 --> 0:38:03.960 to win the Super Bowl. Like there are guys on 0:38:03.960 --> 0:38:06.040 that roster that have been through that, and I think 0:38:06.320 --> 0:38:08.160 you know they it won't be pretty for them either. 0:38:08.160 --> 0:38:10.520 They're not going to blow the Giants out, but I 0:38:10.520 --> 0:38:13.480 think they've got the grit in the experience to batten 0:38:13.560 --> 0:38:15.600 down the hatches and win that game. And so I 0:38:15.640 --> 0:38:18.040 think the Cowboys win, but I don't think they'll make 0:38:18.080 --> 0:38:22.200 the playoffs. I'm with you, guys, not Nick. I think nothing. 0:38:22.280 --> 0:38:24.919 I always do find the way to win this game 0:38:24.960 --> 0:38:28.279 against the Redskins. But it's just gonna come down to like, 0:38:28.440 --> 0:38:32.120 oh that wasn't enough they won it, but oh well, 0:38:32.320 --> 0:38:34.480 look out the other games that they lost and shoot 0:38:34.520 --> 0:38:39.280 have won, which at this point can't do anything about 0:38:39.320 --> 0:38:43.080 it now. But it's just I don't see it happening. 0:38:43.160 --> 0:38:45.440 I think that the Eagles are going to find the 0:38:45.520 --> 0:38:50.400 way to beat the Giants despite of their quarterback, and 0:38:50.920 --> 0:38:54.839 that's gonna be the end for the Cowboys this year. 0:38:55.120 --> 0:38:57.600 I do get I get Nick's point that, like, it's 0:38:57.640 --> 0:38:59.959 not a foregtten conclusion that the Eagles win that game. 0:39:00.120 --> 0:39:02.600 It's not, and it'll be close because the Giants have 0:39:02.680 --> 0:39:05.239 played good football over the last month relative to what 0:39:05.280 --> 0:39:06.680 they and by the way the Eagles are the Eagles 0:39:06.760 --> 0:39:08.799 like they have they're not a good team. I just 0:39:08.800 --> 0:39:11.120 think they're a resolute team and they've been figuring out 0:39:11.160 --> 0:39:13.359 how to win. I would argue the Eagles are a 0:39:13.360 --> 0:39:17.600 mediocre team because they've been so hurt. I like, I 0:39:17.640 --> 0:39:20.040 don't think I mean, if they were one hundred percent healthy, 0:39:20.040 --> 0:39:21.719 I don't think they would have the middling record that 0:39:21.760 --> 0:39:23.719 they They're not getting healthier at this No, no, no, 0:39:23.800 --> 0:39:26.320 I'm just saying, like I think there's a difference between 0:39:26.360 --> 0:39:28.799 the Eagles eight and seven and the Cowboys seven and eight. 0:39:28.920 --> 0:39:31.439 Like the Cowboys have just been a disappointing team. As 0:39:31.440 --> 0:39:33.239 healthy as they've been, they should have been better. Ye 0:39:33.840 --> 0:39:36.640 I don't know how you can't. You're sitting there, well, 0:39:36.800 --> 0:39:39.360 you know these basic How can you be so confident 0:39:39.680 --> 0:39:45.799 about I'm not this scenario, confident about anything about. I 0:39:45.840 --> 0:39:49.880 just feel like you're when you're an average team, you 0:39:49.880 --> 0:39:53.200 you that's where you you end up. And I think 0:39:53.239 --> 0:39:56.120 the Eagles are very average. Yes, they might be talented. 0:39:56.160 --> 0:39:58.080 I mean they might be at that point for different 0:39:58.120 --> 0:40:00.880 reasons than the Cowboys, but I I still think that 0:40:01.080 --> 0:40:04.040 they're there. And I watched them play against the Giants 0:40:04.080 --> 0:40:06.440 and they were fortunate to win that game. I watched 0:40:06.640 --> 0:40:08.719 some of that Redskin game. We were, you know, trying 0:40:08.760 --> 0:40:10.839 to work, but I saw a little how that game 0:40:10.920 --> 0:40:13.520 was going, and they were fortunate to win that game. 0:40:13.840 --> 0:40:16.520 And then the Cowboy game, you know, they did a 0:40:16.520 --> 0:40:19.680 good job. They played better. Dallas didn't help, I mean, themselves. 0:40:20.239 --> 0:40:22.720 So I just feel like, here they are against the Giants, 0:40:23.360 --> 0:40:26.680 four o'clock start up there, Daniel Jones, sae Quon Barkley, 0:40:26.719 --> 0:40:29.680 the way they're moving the football, Golden Tates certainly would 0:40:29.719 --> 0:40:31.600 like to win that game. You know, against the Eagles. 0:40:31.920 --> 0:40:33.719 I just think that they're gonna have enough to play 0:40:33.760 --> 0:40:35.480 for him. And I think the way the Eagles are 0:40:35.520 --> 0:40:37.799 playing that their luck's gonna run out. And I will 0:40:37.840 --> 0:40:40.000 say this one thing that does I think factor in 0:40:40.160 --> 0:40:44.720 and may help that a little bit, is zach Ertz 0:40:45.000 --> 0:40:48.160 having that that ri of injury. Like it's one thing 0:40:48.160 --> 0:40:50.520 to finish a game when your adrenaline's already up and 0:40:50.560 --> 0:40:52.200 they shoot you up and you're able to kind of 0:40:52.239 --> 0:40:55.120 manage to But if you notice there was a play third, 0:40:55.239 --> 0:40:57.680 third or fourth quarter where he got hit out of bound, 0:40:57.719 --> 0:41:00.040 like coming going out of bounds, it took him a 0:41:00.120 --> 0:41:02.319 good while to get back on his feet like he was. 0:41:02.520 --> 0:41:05.520 It was not in rib injuries that every time you breathe, 0:41:05.800 --> 0:41:07.880 So he's been going through an entire week of every 0:41:07.880 --> 0:41:10.720 time he breathes, he realizes he has a rib injury, 0:41:11.120 --> 0:41:13.720 and that just has a way of weighing on you mentally. 0:41:14.280 --> 0:41:16.439 I think that you take him out of this game 0:41:16.480 --> 0:41:18.560 if he's not able to be as effective as you 0:41:18.600 --> 0:41:20.920 want him to be, Like you could lose a lot 0:41:20.960 --> 0:41:24.279 of receivers on that team. Everybody knows zach Ertz is 0:41:24.480 --> 0:41:26.920 the best receiving threat that they have on that team, 0:41:27.239 --> 0:41:28.920 you take him out of the mix from not being 0:41:29.040 --> 0:41:31.760 zach Ertz, that could affect you, and that could affect 0:41:31.800 --> 0:41:34.040 you significantly. And so I think from that standpoint, that 0:41:34.120 --> 0:41:36.319 is an area where just looking at the xs and 0:41:36.360 --> 0:41:39.800 os that might actually being be something that helps the 0:41:39.840 --> 0:41:42.080 Giants be able get to win. What would be more fun? 0:41:42.400 --> 0:41:44.040 I mean, and I mean it won't be fun for 0:41:44.080 --> 0:41:47.240 anybody involved if you're a fan of any of the teams, 0:41:47.239 --> 0:41:50.560 But like, would it be more fun if the Cowboys 0:41:50.560 --> 0:41:53.080 are just handling the Redskins, like I mean, they're just 0:41:53.160 --> 0:41:56.000 cruising and like everybody's watching to see what happens in 0:41:56.000 --> 0:41:58.160 this Giant's Eagles games? Or would it be more fun 0:41:58.200 --> 0:42:00.520 if both games come down to the wire. That would 0:42:00.560 --> 0:42:02.600 be wild if, like, you know, that would be fun 0:42:02.680 --> 0:42:05.160 Cowboys are driving to beat the Redskins and the Eagles 0:42:05.160 --> 0:42:06.759 are trying to hold off the Giants, and you're like 0:42:07.440 --> 0:42:10.320 a couple of plays here or there. I really wouldn't 0:42:10.360 --> 0:42:13.440 because honestly, at this point, I can't take I'm actually 0:42:13.480 --> 0:42:15.480 rooting for fun at this point because I don't know, 0:42:15.719 --> 0:42:18.239 you know, NFL red Zone would go bonker. Yeah, but 0:42:18.480 --> 0:42:19.640 that's kind of what you want to see is you 0:42:19.680 --> 0:42:21.600 want to see just the fun weekend of football, because 0:42:21.600 --> 0:42:23.520 guess what, this is the last regular season week for 0:42:23.520 --> 0:42:25.799 the seasons. True, gott, I just want to see some fun. 0:42:25.840 --> 0:42:27.200 It's the same thing with college. You just want to 0:42:27.200 --> 0:42:29.560 see some fun. I don't care if LSU loses. They 0:42:29.600 --> 0:42:32.120 just give me a fun game. Well, thank you for that. 0:42:32.480 --> 0:42:34.640 You're not rooting for Oklahoma. I know you're not. No, 0:42:34.840 --> 0:42:37.200 you know I'm not rooting volks. But if you get 0:42:37.200 --> 0:42:39.760 to the championship, you know I'm not rooting for LSU 0:42:39.800 --> 0:42:42.160 as a championship. That's right, you know. Good luck to 0:42:42.160 --> 0:42:45.480 you this weekend. They hate us because they ain't us. Okay, 0:42:45.520 --> 0:42:47.919 what did you say? You know what I said. It's fine, 0:42:48.160 --> 0:42:53.200 ain't us. Ain't us. Get that tea in there. I 0:42:53.200 --> 0:42:56.239 don't like that colored purple. Okay, I like purple. Yeah, 0:42:56.239 --> 0:43:00.399 I ain't. Can't go. They look good together the show 0:43:00.440 --> 0:43:04.960 than the ditch. All right, that is all the time 0:43:05.000 --> 0:43:07.440 we have for today. Thank you guys so much for 0:43:07.480 --> 0:43:10.560 tuning in.
