WEBVTT - Cowboys Break: Ready For “Nooch” 0:00:03.279 --> 0:00:05.840 The following He's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:05.880 --> 0:00:18.000 and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. Are you ready for 0:00:18.040 --> 0:00:21.720 a break? Yes? Are you ready for a break? Absolutely 0:00:21.880 --> 0:00:26.040 ready for a break? Yeah, And so much for that. 0:00:26.280 --> 0:00:31.440 It's time for the Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:32.240 --> 0:00:40.000 with Nick Eatman, David Hellman, and Bar Garcia and Derek Eagleton. Well, 0:00:40.000 --> 0:00:42.040 it must be the twenty twenty season here for the 0:00:42.120 --> 0:00:47.000 Dallas Cowboys, because things certainly change really quickly around here. 0:00:47.280 --> 0:00:50.360 Yesterday wasn't really that fun town going around here. It 0:00:50.360 --> 0:00:52.600 was pretty cold. Now it's a beautiful day, it's still 0:00:52.640 --> 0:00:54.640 the break. And I know it's episode fifty five because 0:00:54.720 --> 0:00:57.120 yesterday it was fifty four. I'm Nick Eatman, Amber Garcia, 0:00:57.240 --> 0:01:01.520 David Hellman, Derek not with this today. But this is 0:01:01.560 --> 0:01:05.200 the fun Town RV tailgate at the Tostitos Championship Plaza 0:01:05.400 --> 0:01:08.400 and a lot more fun than yesterday. If it's a nice, 0:01:08.440 --> 0:01:10.560 beautiful day, you got people out here on the field, 0:01:10.840 --> 0:01:13.560 you know, and we're at the Star at the Tostitos Plaza. Actually, 0:01:13.600 --> 0:01:15.800 like you probably want to be out here today as 0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:19.319 opposed to yesterday. We're just adapting on the fly. Man 0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:22.080 I love it. It was actually weird to see nobody 0:01:22.080 --> 0:01:23.680 out here because usually this is a this is a 0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:25.520 spot where a lot of kids will come and play. 0:01:25.600 --> 0:01:28.319 And I don't know what the school situation is. I guess, 0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:30.759 you know, some kids. Hopefully we don't get a ball. 0:01:31.319 --> 0:01:35.360 Oh yeah, beyond alert, beyond high alert. Yeah yeah, this 0:01:35.440 --> 0:01:37.880 is there's a little soccer game going on here. But anyways, 0:01:37.880 --> 0:01:40.640 this is a fun place to to to be if 0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:41.880 you want to, you know, if you want to come 0:01:41.880 --> 0:01:44.800 out and enjoy this whole Star district here, all the 0:01:44.840 --> 0:01:47.840 restaurants and all this um. You know, this isn't just 0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:52.320 a nice area here for in Frisco. And uh, this 0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:55.520 is a it's a beautiful day. I actually we couldn't 0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:58.040 said this yesterday. This is this is what I like. 0:01:58.280 --> 0:02:00.560 This is what they had in mind over here, Jeffreies 0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:03.320 who got this together here for the rvtail GA. This 0:02:03.400 --> 0:02:05.120 is exactly what they thought. This is what I think 0:02:05.120 --> 0:02:09.160 about when I think about like a Friday during football season. Yes, 0:02:09.240 --> 0:02:11.720 the weather is gorgeous. It's the last day of the 0:02:11.840 --> 0:02:13.560 you know, the last day you really got to work 0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:19.040 football on all weekend. You can wear a hoodie Halloween 0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:22.480 just forget about the global pandemic and the very bad 0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:25.480 Cowboys team that we're about to talk about, and life's 0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:27.440 still pretty good. You know, That's kind of my point. 0:02:27.480 --> 0:02:31.120 Speaking of Halloween, and Jerry Jones said in his uh 0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:34.079 in his radio hit today on one to five dot 0:02:34.080 --> 0:02:37.120 three The Fan, he said, you know, it's his favorite holiday. 0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:41.320 He said he loves the tricks of bad comments on 0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:45.320 Twitter that I love tricks. I think he was referring 0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:50.959 to trick plays. I wouldn't be surprised. I mean, going 0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:55.400 up to Philadelphia with a seventh round rookie quarterback, who 0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:57.320 I think what he throw? How many pass does you 0:02:57.400 --> 0:03:00.880 throw on Sunday three? Yeah, yeah, I think pull out 0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:03.280 all the stops, Jerry, I don't think you're given anything away. 0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:04.960 If that's what you were hinting at, I think people 0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:07.200 kind of already guessed that. All right, let's get to 0:03:07.800 --> 0:03:11.519 that part. Andy Dalton's status you just said, Ben de 0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:14.919 Nucci's probably gonna start so based off of what Mike 0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:16.640 McCarthy said, and he was on the radio for the 0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:19.160 Fan this morning and then he talked to the media, 0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:21.639 it seemed like a different tone in just an hour 0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:25.200 and a half because earlier this morning about seven am, 0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:27.640 it was we'll see, we'll see what happens on Saturday, 0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:29.880 and doesn't look like there's a lot of scene going on. Well, 0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:32.840 McCarthy does his Friday morning radio hit at like six thirty, 0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:35.480 and you know that's when they're just getting to work, 0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:37.280 so he's got two or three hours to meet with 0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:40.120 the trainers And how's Andy Field? Not good? Okay? Cool? 0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:43.560 And that's the great thing about Jerry too, is he's like, yeah, 0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:45.680 Andy will be ready next week. He's like, okay, cool, 0:03:45.720 --> 0:03:48.680 we can just dispense with the fake drama. Like I 0:03:48.720 --> 0:03:52.440 think from the moment Andy got hit on Sunday, you 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:54.760 probably should have been like, he will not be back 0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:57.680 against Philly. So I don't expect him to play. I 0:03:57.680 --> 0:04:01.120 don't know if he's going to travel. Typically, I feel 0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:03.640 like guys with concussions probably don't. You probably don't want 0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:06.560 to put that strain on him, you know. I think 0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:10.080 I think he actually will because I think this is 0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:14.320 gonna come down to not practicing a whole week, Like like, 0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:17.400 I don't think he'll be ready to play, but I 0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:20.000 mean they had to get this other guy ready to play, 0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:22.480 and because of that, it's not just a This isn't 0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:25.840 just Dack to Dalton. This is Dalton to Denucci, and 0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:28.799 you've got to figure out all these, you know, different things. 0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:31.280 I mean, there's probably doing a lot of different things 0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:35.159 to get him ready. So the whole offense has changed 0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:38.560 this week, I would imagine. So therefore, I bet you 0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:42.800 Dalton maybe goes. He maybe even is active, But I 0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:44.960 don't think he plays. That's going to be very surprising. 0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:48.680 I mean, and I don't know much about concussions, Like 0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:52.360 how do you fully evaluate that. It's such a they've 0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:54.159 got a they call it a protocol because it's a 0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:58.039 whole battery of tests. Yeah, it's something very very um 0:04:58.080 --> 0:05:00.320 you have to be very careful with that and what 0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:04.279 it implies. So I just don't unless you know for 0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:07.680 sure that he would be able to be on the field, 0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:10.520 there's no reason to make him travel at all, And 0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:14.760 especially with all this COVID stuff, I don't think that 0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:18.480 they I mean they take the path is this an 0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:21.279 Eatman special? Like, oh no, it really isn't, because I 0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:23.599 don't know. I would be kind of shocked if he's active. 0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:26.240 Just again, I mean, if why give him a jersey 0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:29.400 if he can't go into the game and Okay, you 0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:32.640 know what, again, I'm just speculating maybe he's not even 0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:36.040 maybe he just travels and maybe he's not active. Yeah, 0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:39.320 I mean if they feel and again, like Amber said, 0:05:39.360 --> 0:05:41.800 like you, no, two concussions are the same. And you know, 0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:44.560 if he's if he's still not feeling great, maybe you 0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:47.159 don't want to put him on an airplane and subject 0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:49.000 him to all of that. But like, if he feels 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:52.400 fine and it's really just the safety aspect of it 0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:55.440 and not his own symptoms, then maybe he goes. And 0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:58.320 you know it definitely if he's available to go and 0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:01.240 be a veteran voice for the Nuchi to listen to it, 0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:02.600 I mean that makes a ton of I don't mean 0:06:02.640 --> 0:06:06.560 to bash your question, but why does it matter? What 0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:10.479 do you mean? Why does it matter? I mean, why 0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:12.440 are we here trying to guess, well, who are your 0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:14.920 three quarterbacks that are going to the game, because they've 0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:17.640 taken three quarterbacks to every game this year, every game, 0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:20.120 even Garrett Gilbert last week was there, So who are 0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:22.800 the three quartermin But if he can't play, he can't play. Well, 0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:25.400 I'm saying who. I still think he travels though, I 0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:27.160 think he travels I don't know if he can go. 0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:30.000 I would I would support that because Ben needs all 0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:32.720 the help he can get. You know, another thing that 0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:36.400 Jerry said this week or said today, was about this game. 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:39.120 The trade deadline is next week. He said, nothing is 0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:42.360 gonna nothing from this game is going to affect what 0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:45.719 happens in the trade deadline. Now, hey, maybe that's a trick. 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:50.200 Maybe he has a trade trick, a piss leave or something. 0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:53.120 You know, it's funny. Okay, I don't want to I 0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:55.559 don't want to heap I don't want to heap fuel 0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:58.599 onto that fire, but like it's funny in retrospect the 0:06:58.720 --> 0:07:04.040 things that you were remember because I remember in twenty eighteen, 0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:08.080 they played Washington and I remember hearing while we were 0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:11.280 already like we were at FedEx Field, and somebody kind 0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:14.400 of whispered to me like, don't be like, don't be 0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:17.200 surprised if there's some movement when we get back to Dallas, 0:07:17.280 --> 0:07:19.360 like you know, this team needs a wide receiver. Just 0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:22.080 have that on your radar. And I was like really, 0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:26.200 And they did it before we even got back from Washington, So, um, 0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:29.240 may I mean maybe, but I tend to doubt it. 0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:32.240 I don't and to that point. To Jerry's point is like, 0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:34.160 you know what this team is right now, Like, what 0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:37.080 can they teach you something new on Sunday that's going 0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:39.200 to prompt you to go out and do some crazy deal. 0:07:39.560 --> 0:07:42.280 I don't think I buy that, do you? No? No, Well, 0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:44.480 what if what if it's the other way? I mean 0:07:45.120 --> 0:07:47.760 I hate to say, like what if they win, but 0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:51.480 I mean like if they if they do end up 0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:54.400 winning the game, which and we're going to talk about 0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:56.080 our picks later. And I don't know if if you 0:07:56.120 --> 0:07:59.240 guys are even thinking that that's close to happening. But 0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:04.520 does that change your thought process or Jerry's thought process 0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:06.320 of like, all right, because you win, you're you're in 0:08:06.440 --> 0:08:09.080 first place, do they want to add to this and say, 0:08:09.080 --> 0:08:11.840 all right, let's let's do something here, try to to 0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:15.920 you know, make this better. I wouldn't, at least not again, 0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:18.440 like not like drastic resources again. You know we've kind 0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:20.560 of talked about this is if you can trade for 0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:23.160 a guy who's still on his rookie deal, who's under 0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:25.440 club control, who he can be a part of the 0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:29.080 future and the present. That is a narrow group of players. 0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:31.080 By the way, that's not that's not that is a 0:08:31.360 --> 0:08:34.840 that's like five guys. Um, I don't. I mean, okay, 0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:36.640 let's say they win in there in first place, Andy 0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:39.040 Dalton comes back next week, Like your offensive line is 0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:41.080 still a mess. You don't You're not going to have 0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:45.559 your tackles for the rest of the year. Um, I get. 0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:48.120 I mean, if the defense just plays like Doomsday on 0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:50.720 Sunday night, maybe I'll have to change my mind. But 0:08:50.720 --> 0:08:52.760 but I like, but does anybody, even if they win, 0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:55.760 does anybody believe the defense is just gonna look great now, 0:08:55.840 --> 0:08:58.000 because then then they they're just gonna pour it in 0:08:58.080 --> 0:09:00.439 on how bad the Eagles really are? Sure? I mean, 0:09:00.559 --> 0:09:02.520 and like, it's like you just be a bad Eagle team. 0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:05.120 Get give it your best effort. I mean in this 0:09:05.200 --> 0:09:09.560 bad division, I like, I'm tanking's dumb. Give it your 0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:11.240 best effort if you can. But that doesn't mean you 0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:15.040 have to spend valuable resources on a season that's probably 0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:17.760 not gonna go worng. Like I said not too long ago, 0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:21.920 I mean, okay, cool, you won the NFC East title, 0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:24.959 But then where those that get you once you start 0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:28.000 facing the other opponents. I mean, there's, like you mentioned, Dave, 0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:31.200 there are so many different aspects that are wrong with 0:09:31.200 --> 0:09:34.360 this team right now that let's say, a simple trade 0:09:34.640 --> 0:09:37.880 that's not there, I just cannot see it. It's not 0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:41.280 going to fix all the issues, and it's it's tough 0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:43.840 and not to be pessimistic, and yes, you want to 0:09:43.920 --> 0:09:47.640 keep the hope alive and keep fighting, keep pushing, but 0:09:47.720 --> 0:09:50.560 at the same time, it's just it's very hard to 0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:54.280 visualize that right now. Yeah, I think I think any 0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:56.560 kind of trade that comes up next week is a 0:09:56.600 --> 0:09:59.880 trade that would happen if you were you know, five 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:02.320 in two or I mean, like it have to would 0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:05.480 just work regardless of the situation. Like you said, I mean, 0:10:05.720 --> 0:10:08.840 there's not many guys that most of the league thinks, 0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:11.360 oh he's he's still he's got a lot of value, 0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:14.720 but his own team really doesn't. He's kind of given up. 0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:16.760 That's what happened sort of with Amari Cooper. I mean, 0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:19.640 it was like everyone thought he was still other than 0:10:19.679 --> 0:10:22.360 the Raiders, everyone thought, oh he can still play. That 0:10:22.440 --> 0:10:25.559 was also that was a unique circumstance where John Gruden, 0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:27.880 he signed a ten year contract and was like, all right, 0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:30.040 I'm gonna get rid of these guys that don't fit 0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:31.760 what I want my team to be and I don't 0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:34.320 know if there's a team that fits that mold right 0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:39.440 now in the NFL landscape. So I fans wanted it 0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:42.360 to be Dallas, well, you know for and I mean that, Okay, 0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:44.840 I don't buy that either, But I don't think there's 0:10:44.880 --> 0:10:47.000 a big money guy on this team that could fetch 0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:49.360 you a price that would make it worth it. Yeah, 0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:51.440 you know, I was gonna say this yesterday too. And 0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:56.040 a lot of our fans understand the salary cap. I mean, 0:10:56.120 --> 0:10:58.200 because it's it's not an easy thing to understand, but 0:10:58.280 --> 0:11:00.920 like you can't just there's a lot of fans that 0:11:01.000 --> 0:11:03.880 do not that. They think that if you just trade 0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:06.920 a player, you're getting rid of his contract, like oh, 0:11:07.120 --> 0:11:09.000 you know, like just get rid of Zeke or get 0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:11.840 rid of d Law. They don't understand that that money 0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:15.719 goes automatically on your cap. You can't. You take the hit, 0:11:15.840 --> 0:11:18.040 not the other team. They just take the salary. You 0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:19.800 take all the hit that you gave them, all this 0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:23.280 guaranteed money. There's no way you can trade d Law 0:11:23.559 --> 0:11:26.480 or Zeke, not him or anything right now. I mean, 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:30.120 if you just absolutely you're no way. Fans or butts 0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:32.280 he's got to be off my team. You could do it. 0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:36.280 But now you're trading Zeke Elliott for a third round 0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:39.160 pick and incurring that dead money on your cap and 0:11:39.200 --> 0:11:41.040 you get you get a third round pick out of No, 0:11:41.240 --> 0:11:43.520 that's not rather just give him. That's that's you trying 0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:47.680 to get rid of the like better ish player on 0:11:47.800 --> 0:11:51.640 your roster. You know, for someone else like you, you 0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:54.200 need to create some type of balance. I mean, what 0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:56.520 are you going to trade him for? That's really I 0:11:56.920 --> 0:12:00.760 am not bought into this whole, like, oh, ze career 0:12:00.920 --> 0:12:04.320 is going downhill type of Trent. But I think it's 0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:06.480 just just like everyone else on this team, they're just 0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:09.079 having issues right now. But I agree, I agree with you. 0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:13.800 But between between what their salaries are and what they're like, 0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:15.760 you know, what they would do to your salary cap 0:12:15.760 --> 0:12:18.080 if you traded them, and what they've put on the field, 0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:21.000 you're just not gonna get that much. And there's one 0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:23.640 guy on this team that would fetch you a heavy price. 0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:26.760 His name's Dak Prescott, and he wouldn't do it right 0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:29.080 now because he's recovering from that injury. Like I just, 0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:32.360 I just don't think they're in a beneficial situation. In 0:12:32.360 --> 0:12:34.920 that regard. Right now, I don't even think Zach Martin 0:12:35.120 --> 0:12:39.080 could get you. I mean maybe I'm not saying you 0:12:39.080 --> 0:12:41.360 would trade him, but I mean, what could you get 0:12:41.400 --> 0:12:44.959 for Zach Martin? First round pick maybe, yeah, late first 0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:49.560 best guard in football who's still like in his prime. Maybe, 0:12:49.600 --> 0:12:51.520 But it gets like, but why are you doing? That's 0:12:51.559 --> 0:12:55.640 already somebody just like right now tuned in and said, 0:12:55.640 --> 0:12:57.400 would you trade that? No, we're not. We're talking about 0:12:57.480 --> 0:12:59.839 We're talking about that nobody's tradeable. At the risk of 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:02.400 sounding like a Sunshine pumper, I think I said this 0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:05.920 on our affiliate on one oh five point three earlier 0:13:05.920 --> 0:13:08.960 this week, is like, I think this team reminds me 0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:13.000 of the eighteen forty nine ers more than a team 0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:15.280 that just needs to absolutely blow everything up. Like the 0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:18.400 Niners lost Garoppolo and a bunch of other guys early 0:13:18.440 --> 0:13:21.320 in that season, and they had an awful year, and 0:13:22.120 --> 0:13:24.079 I mean, that's what happens when you lose that many guys. 0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:26.840 But they turned around. They drafted Nick Bosa two overall, 0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:28.800 they added a bunch of other talent, and they got 0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:31.280 to the super Bowl the next year. Now I'm not 0:13:31.320 --> 0:13:34.040 suggesting the Cowboys will get to the super Bowl next year. 0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:37.640 I need proof of that. But like Jerry said it today, 0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:40.200 like the core of this roster is still pretty good. 0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:44.319 They just need to a clean up some things, deal 0:13:44.360 --> 0:13:48.800 with some talent issues perpeted, most notably on defense. And 0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:53.839 there's also the freaking health. There's also the intangible, the attitude, 0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:59.360 the motivation, the working as a team, because that needs 0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:01.960 some work. All of that is very real, but it's 0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:07.800 also very fixable. I think this season twoy fifteen for me. Yeah, 0:14:07.960 --> 0:14:11.640 just the fact that like this team was bad early 0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:13.960 before you know, it was bad, and then it got 0:14:13.960 --> 0:14:16.320 really bad with it with without a quarterback. Do you 0:14:16.320 --> 0:14:18.240 get a high draft pick? You get a high well 0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:19.920 I would say you get a high second round pick, 0:14:19.960 --> 0:14:22.880 but they didn't really use it because Ja that didn't play. 0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:25.040 But I mean you you can get some some players 0:14:25.080 --> 0:14:26.760 and next thing you know, you get these tackles back 0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:28.480 and everything. I think next year could be really good. 0:14:28.480 --> 0:14:30.480 I hate talking like that. We're you know, we say 0:14:30.520 --> 0:14:34.800 that every freaking year, like no, no, no, every oh 0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:37.800 next year is we don't know that for sure, we 0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:39.720 don't know. I think this, I think this team would 0:14:39.720 --> 0:14:43.040 have been a good football team. I really do this year. 0:14:43.720 --> 0:14:46.680 I mean, like, at what point they lost to the Rams? 0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:48.080 I think the Rams are a good team, But but 0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:50.160 at what point do you draw that? I agree with you, 0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:51.720 But at what point do you draw that line? Like 0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:53.920 that goes back to the whole they were. You know, 0:14:54.160 --> 0:14:57.160 they didn't have Lyle Collins, but they were watermelon kick 0:14:57.200 --> 0:14:59.560 away from losing to Atlanta, who is not a good 0:14:59.600 --> 0:15:04.880 football team. They got destroyed maybe no, no, no they're not. 0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:08.080 They're not. They got destroyed by the Browns, which you 0:15:08.120 --> 0:15:10.680 know they were already hurt then, but they still had Dak. 0:15:11.520 --> 0:15:15.120 I think they were probably a middling football team before 0:15:15.160 --> 0:15:17.640 all of the injuries happened, and now they're just not 0:15:18.080 --> 0:15:20.120 all right. Good, We're gonna we're gonna take our first 0:15:20.120 --> 0:15:22.280 break here. We're gonna actually talk about the Cowboys and 0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:24.080 Eagles game. We can talk about next year. We had 0:15:24.080 --> 0:15:26.120 a lot of games later this year. I think we'll 0:15:26.160 --> 0:15:28.120 be able to talk about. I think it's that's a 0:15:28.160 --> 0:15:31.160 fitting topic of conversation for the week before the trade deadline. 0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:33.880 It is where does this team think it is? Yeah? 0:15:33.920 --> 0:15:37.080 And as bleak as it looks right now, I don't 0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:39.680 think it's as bleak as some people want to suggest. Okay, 0:15:39.720 --> 0:15:41.240 well we'll take a break. When we come back, we're 0:15:41.240 --> 0:15:44.360 gonna talk about the injuries, and also like when these 0:15:44.400 --> 0:15:46.720 guys are coming back, what does that actually look like? 0:15:47.000 --> 0:15:48.880 We'll get their status, but also what does it look like? 0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:52.480 We'll be right back here on the Cowboys break.

Other than the sunshine, I got 0:18:10.320 --> 0:18:17.280 Dave Amber, I'm Nick even An, We've got Derek Eagleton. Uh, 0:18:17.320 --> 0:18:21.719 what's up? You just you couldn't bear to to not 0:18:21.880 --> 0:18:25.240 be with us? You got Actually, what what happened was 0:18:25.400 --> 0:18:28.280 our producer Chris Bean hit me up. I was listening. 0:18:28.640 --> 0:18:30.320 He hit me up in the first segment and said, 0:18:30.359 --> 0:18:33.399 can you say you guys? And I was like, yeah, whatever, 0:18:33.400 --> 0:18:36.200 you guys, eat, I'm here for you saying. I thought 0:18:36.200 --> 0:18:40.840 you were about to say something serious and real, so 0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:43.840 so I decided I jump on. I mean, I've heard 0:18:43.840 --> 0:18:45.680 of throwing someone under our bus. You just threw Chris 0:18:45.760 --> 0:18:49.120 under the RV here that he's in here working. Wow, 0:18:49.840 --> 0:18:52.320 how's it going? I missed you guys. I missed you guys. 0:18:52.359 --> 0:18:54.040 I was ready to get back on the air, you know, 0:18:54.160 --> 0:18:56.680 so I was. You know what I thought, really, Derek? 0:18:56.720 --> 0:18:59.280 I thought, you know you you you and I both 0:18:59.400 --> 0:19:02.320 we we like to pick the Blue and Silver team 0:19:02.400 --> 0:19:04.480 usually when it when it works. I thought maybe that 0:19:04.560 --> 0:19:06.520 you didn't want to pick the other team, so you 0:19:06.600 --> 0:19:09.560 just decided not to be on the show. Oh no, 0:19:09.840 --> 0:19:12.399 I was gonna put it on Twitter or somewhere that 0:19:12.560 --> 0:19:15.639 I'm not picking the Cowboys this week. So I'm sorry, 0:19:15.680 --> 0:19:18.439 I'm killing the final segment. But it's okay. I just 0:19:18.480 --> 0:19:20.360 can't do it. I just can't do it, not this week, 0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:22.200 not just week. I can't do it. Well, I mean 0:19:22.920 --> 0:19:25.720 nobody can. I mean, I mean, yeah, you're not gonna 0:19:25.760 --> 0:19:27.919 I mean, this is this is my point. Who's the 0:19:27.960 --> 0:19:31.879 Eagles quarterback? Wentz? Okay? Well, I mean it's easy. I mean, 0:19:31.880 --> 0:19:33.320 if you don't, if you don't really say who the 0:19:33.440 --> 0:19:35.880 quarterback is, and if it is it's a seventh round 0:19:35.920 --> 0:19:40.000 pick who's never started a game, the disrespect for Nuci Maine, right, 0:19:40.440 --> 0:19:43.080 I don't know. I mean I've already heard your score. 0:19:43.119 --> 0:19:45.120 Oh no, I'm not gonna pick the Cowboys to win. 0:19:45.160 --> 0:19:47.240 But it doesn't even smell like a touchdown. No, but 0:19:47.359 --> 0:19:49.840 like it's it's you know, I was talking about this 0:19:49.880 --> 0:19:52.680 on Twitter yesterday, like in time, like you can either 0:19:52.720 --> 0:19:55.400 be miserable about the current situation or you can just 0:19:56.119 --> 0:19:59.199 embrace it and try to find the fun in it. 0:19:59.240 --> 0:20:01.199 And it is fun that a kid, you know, a 0:20:01.480 --> 0:20:04.399 seventh round rookie from Pennsylvania is going to have a 0:20:04.480 --> 0:20:07.680 chance to go up and start against the Eagles if 0:20:07.720 --> 0:20:09.800 he you know, if he's not good and they get killed, 0:20:09.840 --> 0:20:12.159 well that's kind of what you expected. If But but 0:20:12.200 --> 0:20:14.480 if he's amazing, and you know, even if they don't win, 0:20:14.520 --> 0:20:16.879 maybe he plays great and and that's a cool story. 0:20:17.000 --> 0:20:19.240 So now you just got to find the fun. Now 0:20:19.240 --> 0:20:22.080 that we're talking about de Nucci, I wanted to bring 0:20:22.119 --> 0:20:24.439 this up. I don't know if it's just me or 0:20:24.480 --> 0:20:26.760 if you guys maybe are getting that same feeling too. 0:20:26.800 --> 0:20:30.280 But I feel like after hearing from starting last week, 0:20:30.560 --> 0:20:33.560
