I got it. I never pay attention 9 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:04,840 Speaker 1: to your leader. I know because every time when I'm 10 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:06,959 Speaker 1: starting my show, if if you guys notice Ambers on 11 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 1: her phone, days on his phone? Perfect is that? And 12 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 1: I was like, you know what, it's actually kind of 13 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:17,759 Speaker 1: cold in here. So I was like, man, I don't 14 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,039 Speaker 1: worry about it. I'll just tweet something later. But if 15 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: it is seventy four, see perfect. For those of you 16 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,839 Speaker 1: that don't know Bob, that was his number seventy four. Yeah, 17 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 1: people that are listening, they don't know that they're on 18 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 1: the wrong. If you're listening to Cowboys Break, I bet 19 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 1: you know there's only one seventy four. There's only one 20 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 1: player to ever wear it, and it's him. It's a 21 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 1: regular Seas game. Yeah, yeah, anyone that matters put some 22 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 1: respect on Jalen jelks name. That's true. So when anytime 23 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 1: somebody comes in and they say, oh, they got seventy four, like, 24 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 1: that's not looking good for you. They don't expect you 25 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 1: to be here for long or in that number. Cool 26 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 1: T shirt? What is that though? Let people know what 27 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 1: it is. Um, it's the Dallas Cowboys. Um throwback shirts. 28 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm never really player card T shirts. 29 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 1: It's honestly, it's one of the coolest promotions that I 30 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 1: can remember. Like they if you're not aware of this, 31 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: they release a shirt for a different player on every Monday. Yeah, 32 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: and they've been doing. Is it Monday? Yeah? I think 33 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 1: it is. Yeah. I think they make an available Monday. 34 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 1: But there they got them for all different players like 35 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 1: Bob Lily, Drew Pearson, Roger Staubach, Emmitt Smith, Michael Irvin. 36 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,080 Speaker 1: I think this is Irvan's week. I'd like they're selling 37 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: Irvan shirts in the store this week. The one that 38 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 1: Nick has is from last weekend. Yeah, there he is 39 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,919 Speaker 1: in there. You go. Um. Yeah, and they like they 40 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,360 Speaker 1: so they make them available. They stay available. So if 41 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,799 Speaker 1: you missed to your favorite player. You can go get them. 42 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: I'm really excited about the Darren Woodson shirt. I don't 43 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 1: remember remember when it comes out, but it'll come out 44 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 1: at some point this season. Yeah. Yeah, they're really really 45 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: cool promotions. When they first told us about it, I 46 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 1: thought it was really really great promotion, especially for people 47 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: that have been fans for a long time. It's got 48 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 1: some really really cool, really cool and they got some 49 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 1: modern ones too, like they have dak Zeke de Marcus. 50 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,519 Speaker 1: I think the Marcus were Layton vander Esh. Yeah. Yeah, 51 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 1: so really cool. So nice. Okay, you guys get to 52 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: see now that we're done selling T shirts. Yeah, so 53 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,800 Speaker 1: what we do, Yeah, we do. We do a lot 54 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,679 Speaker 1: of stuff. Yeah all right, so let's let's jump into 55 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:18,920 Speaker 1: this thing. I need to talk We need to talk 56 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:20,800 Speaker 1: a little bit about some injuries and and get to 57 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:23,920 Speaker 1: uh the enactors for this week, and then Amber has 58 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 1: a game for us. We've been trying to get this 59 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: game in now for like two weeks, and this morning 60 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:29,399 Speaker 1: Amber hit me up and it was like, we better 61 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 1: get it on the show to today. See you. No, 62 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: this is what really happened. I got a text from 63 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 1: Derek saying, hey, I don't really know what to talk 64 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: about on the show. We will completely bad. Keep the 65 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: curtain a little, I keep it real. This has gone 66 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: on for for me for twenty years. The Friday after 67 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 1: the bye week's stream, you're like, give me a game, Please, 68 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: give me give a game. Then see your no will work? Okay, 69 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: that's you're about to say, give me a game. See 70 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:02,119 Speaker 1: or no? He said, we need a game. We're gonna 71 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 1: play games here, all right, So we're gonna do that. 72 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 1: Let's talk first about injuries. The interesting thing is there's 73 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: only one guy that that is not practicing. That's Cam Flamming. 74 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 1: You guys mentioned that yesterday. The assumption right now is 75 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 1: that these Cam's not gonna play. He's not playing. There 76 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,840 Speaker 1: were five guys that were limited in practice, Anthony Brown, 77 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 1: Lyall Collins, Zach Martin, Tyrn Smith, Layton Vanderesh. Any of 78 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 1: those five expected to maybe not play. So this is 79 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: tricky because it's Monday night. I know it's Friday, it's 80 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 1: the last show we're gonna do, but it's only Thursday 81 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 1: for them, so it's early. I think I feel good 82 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 1: about most of those guys. I'm curious about Anthony Brown 83 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: because his hamstring was pretty severe. He's missed. I think too, 84 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,280 Speaker 1: he's been missing since the Green Bay game or the 85 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,600 Speaker 1: Jets game. I'm sorry, Yeah, you heard in the Jets game. 86 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 1: So I'm worried about him, and I'm a little nervous 87 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 1: about Layden Vanderesh just you know, he had a stinger. 88 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: It was pretty severe from what we heard as far 89 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,039 Speaker 1: as stingers go, I think they're easing him back in, 90 00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: which again, I mean, you know, I wish it was 91 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 1: actually Friday and we'd have a better idea. I just 92 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 1: I don't have a good read on that. But those 93 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: are two guys you keep an eye off. The guys 94 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 1: that are on that list, Like Zach Martin is gonna play. 95 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,679 Speaker 1: I think both of the offensive tackles are fine. I'm 96 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:14,160 Speaker 1: not as sure about Brown and Vanderesh's surprised if Brown 97 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,160 Speaker 1: doesn't play. I watched him kind of in his rehab 98 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,280 Speaker 1: like a week ago, like on the Chords, and the 99 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: thought because we were we couldn't tell who it was. Yeah, 100 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 1: we were just like, I don't know who this guy is, 101 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 1: but he looks like he's ready to go, And it 102 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,720 Speaker 1: was him. So that was a week ago. Unless he's 103 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 1: had any setbacks, which I don't think he has. I 104 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 1: think he'll be good. He'll be good. I wouldn't. I 105 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 1: would not be surprised if all five play. And that's, 106 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: like I said, it sucks because that thing's gonna happen. 107 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: It's you know, they don't play till Monday night, it's Friday, 108 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 1: or it's Friday morning. So between that's seventy two hours. 109 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 1: Tomorrow is Friday. I know it's Friday for them, but 110 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: for us, for fans that are trying to figure out 111 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,040 Speaker 1: that who's gonna play. I just hate and Garrett. I mean, 112 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 1: I get it. I don't understand what he does. It's 113 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 1: so like the effort, the effort that they take to 114 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 1: do this, like you know, to make things feel like 115 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,040 Speaker 1: they are every you know, every Friday. They have certain 116 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 1: songs they play on Friday. I can't remember the guy's name, 117 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 1: but they play a song called Friday at practice. They 118 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 1: didn't play it today, they will probably play They're gonna 119 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 1: play it tomorrow. They serve Split Peace soup in the 120 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,280 Speaker 1: cafeteria on Fridays. I believe that's a Jason Garrett favorite. 121 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 1: They're not gonna serve it today. They're gonna serve it tomorrow, 122 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 1: like all of this, like they go to such crazy 123 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,599 Speaker 1: lengths to get people into that mindset. You go by 124 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:32,160 Speaker 1: our office today about two o'clock, it's Friday, Friday, walk 125 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 1: it or anything you got for us? Yeah, you got 126 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:40,480 Speaker 1: lots of us, but around us. Yeah, maybe let's talk 127 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 1: about an actives. Kem Fleming will obviously put on there. 128 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: But then you got guys like Adam Redmond, Joe Jackson, 129 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 1: Tristan Hill, Connor mcgovernment, Luke Gifford, Donovan Wilson, sorry, Ventrell Bryant, 130 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 1: Devin Smith, Cedric Wilson. Right, of all those guys, where 131 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,679 Speaker 1: do you find six more guys who will be an active? 132 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 1: Give me one receiver for sure, Devin Smith or Cedric Wilson, 133 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,719 Speaker 1: probably both, because if Cop and Cooper are both healthy, 134 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 1: I don't know that you need him both. We'll just 135 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 1: take one for sure, Devin Smith probably. Yeah. Um give 136 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 1: me Adam Redman, he's you know, all reliable. Give me 137 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 1: Triston Hill, I mean yeah, yeah, just doesn't feel like 138 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 1: he's playing right based on what's happened to before and 139 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 1: adding a new another guy. Well, let's first of all 140 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 1: the other guy. Um it means it is Michael Bennett, 141 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 1: because Michael Bennett replaced Hamilton, right, Hamilton who was inactive? Yeah, 142 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 1: what are you thinking like this like the I don't 143 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 1: know which you know what I'm yeah, I'm then you 144 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 1: know what I'm thinking? I live with a theater nerd. Yeah, 145 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 1: I was about to go. I'm sorry. Um yeah. So 146 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 1: Tristan Hill probably he was sent home from practice. They 147 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 1: added a d tackle to the mix. We never talked 148 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 1: about that, but yeah, go ahead, Sorry, not much to 149 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 1: talk about it. I mean these guys they were late, 150 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 1: and Jason Garrett I think, wanted to kind of send 151 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: a message. And you know, I don't disagree with that, 152 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 1: Antoine woulds Tristan Hill. They were they were late for 153 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: a meeting on Tuesday. They were gone for four days 154 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 1: and then they were gonna be gone for a fifth 155 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 1: day on Wednesday. So be here and be here on time. 156 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 1: I guarantee that. With Garrett just being frustrated and wanted 157 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: to send a message and said, you know what, you've 158 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 1: had enough time off. I'm asking you to be here 159 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: one day out of a sixth day period and you missed. 160 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 1: You missed it the meeting, so just go home. That's 161 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 1: a good point because Garrett was taught. You know, the 162 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 1: coaches came back Monday, and he made a comment about how, 163 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 1: like by Monday afternoon it felt like they'd been off 164 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,439 Speaker 1: for six weeks, you know, like he's the coaches are 165 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 1: like pacing around like waiting for players to get here 166 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 1: so they can get to work. And yeah, yeah, if 167 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 1: you're late after that much of a layoff, it's probably aggravating. Yeah, 168 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 1: no doubt. So we're gonna say, Tristan Hill, what about 169 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 1: Joe Jackson, Um, sure, yeah, I throw them on there. 170 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: Louke Gifford, Uh, it's kind of you know, wait and 171 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 1: see with Laton vander Esh. Although if Desh is the 172 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:02,960 Speaker 1: only one hurt, you could still probably get away with 173 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 1: sitting him, couldn't you sitting sitting Gifford? And let's say, 174 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,960 Speaker 1: and that's true, I would say a linebacker, let's say, 175 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:13,559 Speaker 1: let's hold on him for a second. Talk to me 176 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 1: about about Donovan Wilson or Ventral Bryant. Not not Bryant. 177 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 1: Bryant's gonna be active and like he's too good on 178 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 1: special team. Cover your ears. But I wouldn't be surprised 179 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 1: if Wilson's inactive, Okay, healthy scratch just because there's not 180 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 1: enough snaps go around, all right, So at that point, 181 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 1: let's assume it's Redman, let's Jackson Hill, Wilson, Devin Smith. 182 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 1: You're at five six with Cam Flem and you need 183 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,320 Speaker 1: one more. I would say a linebacker, Luke Gifford, if 184 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 1: if Vanderesh can go or Vanderesh, Yeah, yeah, that feels 185 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 1: that feels good. Do we ever do we ever go 186 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 1: back and see how are these are? You know? I 187 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,080 Speaker 1: hold on? I think we're right more off than hold on. 188 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 1: Hold on. You need a line you need a special 189 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 1: teams player. Luke Gifford is going to be a better 190 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 1: special teams player than Cedric will And if you've got 191 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 1: Cooper and Cobb, that's true and Gallup, Yeah, you can 192 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 1: get away with sitting both of those receivers if you 193 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 1: wanted to. May we're doing it at one point the season. 194 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:15,679 Speaker 1: I would do that, knowing that Layton. So I'm over 195 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,199 Speaker 1: here talking like like I'm gonna call Jason, like, no, 196 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 1: this is what we've decided, coach, But I mean that's 197 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 1: what I would scratch the original play. Yeah, no, that 198 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 1: makes sense. It makes more sense just because Layton kind 199 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 1: of banged up to yourself. If Cobb's healthy, you've got 200 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,960 Speaker 1: two returners. I mean you have a stinger. Yeah, it 201 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,680 Speaker 1: feels good, but he's not taking a hit out there 202 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 1: like he's gonna take on the first play of the game. 203 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 1: You guys are agreeing Cedric Wilson as the Yeah, both 204 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:45,080 Speaker 1: Redmond Jackson, Hill Smith, Wilson and Wilson the two. Wilson's 205 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 1: love it with Flemy. Okay, awesome, So we got it. 206 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 1: I'll send it over to coach. We'll get that all set. 207 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 1: Appreciate that, and Dave, you go and writ your story. 208 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 1: Let's have ready for some of them. You know what, 209 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,080 Speaker 1: I might. I might do that just to get it 210 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 1: out of the way from Monday by store.

At the 277 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,559 Speaker 1: bottom of the leaderboard list of the supposed celebrity, that's 278 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 1: where we're hanging a yes we got we gotta join 279 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 1: me in the seller calf a celebrity. Yeah, it's true. 280 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 1: Go ahead, I am you are all right good already, Yes, 281 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 1: we're ready for this. Let's go a what you got? 282 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 1: What you got? All right? I got a lot of 283 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 1: people asking the same question. When Anthony Brown is back 284 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 1: to being healthy, should Jordan Lewis go back to being 285 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 1: a backup? That is, oh, yeah, that's I mean you 286 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 1: want to yes or no answer? Uh? My answer not 287 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: a yes or no. It's a CEO no sorry, no, no, 288 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 1: My answer is no. But here's here's the thing, which 289 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,880 Speaker 1: is why I wanted to qualify. It is like, that 290 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 1: is what I think. That is what you think. I 291 00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 1: don't want to speak for you, but that's probably what 292 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 1: you think too. That's not what does that? Does that matter? 293 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 1: And I honestly don't know the answer. And I feel 294 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 1: like people people think like we're not trying to get 295 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 1: to the bottom of that, Like they're not going to 296 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:09,560 Speaker 1: tell us that I've asked that question like three or 297 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 1: four different times. They're like, well, you know, find ways 298 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 1: to get everybody involved. And then you're watching the game 299 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 1: and you're like Jordan Lewis doesn't come off the sideline 300 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 1: in forty five minutes. It's just it's how they want 301 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 1: to do it. And I really don't know the answer. 302 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 1: I think he's played well enough to be their nickelback. 303 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 1: I don't know if they agree. Let's flip that. Do 304 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 1: you think Anthony Brown has played poorly enough to get 305 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 1: some planet by Jordan Lewis. It's not about him playing 306 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 1: poorly enough. He's played average enough. But but Jordan Lewis 307 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 1: has been in the game and he's made more of 308 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 1: an impact. He's done enough to make you wonder what 309 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 1: he can do with more opportunities. It's a good way 310 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 1: to put it. Yeah, I really don't think Anthony Brown 311 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 1: has been as bad as a lot of people want 312 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 1: to act. But I think Jordan Lewis has just slashed more. 313 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 1: He's done more with the opportunities that he's gotten, which 314 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 1: you want to reward that, don't you. He's given the 315 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 1: team what they desperately need. They need some guy that's 316 00:15:57,880 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: going to make a play, get an interception when you're 317 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 1: down in your own red zone, or get a sack 318 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 1: on Carson Wentz and he's done that. So I think 319 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 1: he's played more so, if we're all seeing the flashes, 320 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 1: what do you think is holding this coaching staff back 321 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 1: from putting him on the field more, Because this is 322 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 1: not just I don't think this is just about the 323 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 1: last couple of games. I mean throughout the time he's 324 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 1: been or I think there have been moments where he's flashed. 325 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 1: I mean, and he just hasn't, for whatever reason, gotten 326 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 1: more opportunity. I say, let's just wait till Tuesday when 327 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 1: we talk about it then, because you know, he hadn't 328 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 1: done a whole lot before the Jets game. It's been 329 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 1: he's been pretty good. But then the Jets game, he 330 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 1: gets an interception and then Brown has hurt, and then 331 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 1: he plays the next week just because he has to, 332 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 1: and he gets another play. So if they now, if 333 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 1: it's if they come back to the normal schedule and 334 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 1: he doesn't play as much, then I think we talk 335 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 1: about it more. But I think, right I would be 336 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 1: surprised if he doesn't play more. I hope you're right. 337 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 1: We'll see. All right, we've been talking about injuries and 338 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 1: all that are the injuries in the old line kind 339 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 1: of going to effect or make the Cowboys have to 340 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 1: use a high draft capital in the offensive line. Yeah, 341 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:09,880 Speaker 1: in the line for next drive. No, that wouldn't change 342 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:13,479 Speaker 1: what they do. The injuries that we're seeing. I know 343 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 1: everybody's trying to bury Tyrn Smith, and I won't do it. 344 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 1: He's freaki zoid. I know he gets he gets hurt 345 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:24,240 Speaker 1: from time to time. It's unfortunate. He's still awesome and 346 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 1: mostly available. Somebody asked me yesterday, They were like, maybe 347 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 1: they should have traded for Trent Williams. He can, He's 348 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 1: healthier than Tyron Smith. Trent Williams has missed thirteen games 349 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 1: the last three years. That type of stuff happens in 350 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,439 Speaker 1: okayall He's still a really good player, and I'm not 351 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,880 Speaker 1: ready to call it a career for him. I think 352 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:43,399 Speaker 1: if you just altered the question a little bit, or 353 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:46,120 Speaker 1: you just fast forward to next year. Let's say they're 354 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:49,440 Speaker 1: picking like twenty third or so twenty fourth, and they're 355 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,439 Speaker 1: sitting there and the best guy on the board is 356 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 1: an offensive tackle who you thought was twelve or thirteen, 357 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 1: but now he's kind of fallen a little bit, and 358 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,439 Speaker 1: so he's sitting there and he's your best guy. You've got. 359 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 1: He's a three year starter at Boston College whatever something 360 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,560 Speaker 1: like that, and you're like, yeah, it makes sense. Just 361 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 1: kind of like the Eagles, did you know where they 362 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,440 Speaker 1: they took a first round tackle? They didn't know where 363 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,800 Speaker 1: he's going to start right now. But I think that 364 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 1: was a little more obvious for them because Jason Peters 365 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 1: is I mean, he might he might get eat another 366 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 1: year out, but he's like thirty eight years. He seems 367 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,920 Speaker 1: like he's hurt a lot. Yeah he is most Okay, 368 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:27,479 Speaker 1: forget that Tyrants fifty seven, second round, no doubt. Well, 369 00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:29,359 Speaker 1: let's I mean, you can apply the same logic to 370 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 1: the Connor mcgovernment pick. If it's like so obvious that 371 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 1: that's the best player, then that's what you should do. Okay, 372 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 1: you'll have the best swing tackle in football. That would 373 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 1: that's fine, But like that's not a role that you 374 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:41,680 Speaker 1: don't need right now. You can tell you that role, 375 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,200 Speaker 1: right and if that's the way it falls, then that's 376 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,439 Speaker 1: what they should do. Don't window dress your board all 377 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,439 Speaker 1: that good stuff. But like, I'm not going into the 378 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,160 Speaker 1: offseason like they got to do something about this because 379 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,879 Speaker 1: Zach's not going anywhere, orly I'll just resigned. Tyring is 380 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,960 Speaker 1: turning twenty nine in a month, like he's still a 381 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 1: young player. I will if Travis Frederick's fine too. See, 382 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,920 Speaker 1: I don't really say this, I am more I am 383 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:06,399 Speaker 1: getting a little bit and I don't even know if 384 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,639 Speaker 1: concerned is the right way. But I am starting to 385 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 1: raise my own eyebrow a little bit when it comes 386 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 1: to the age of this offensive line, not necessarily because 387 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,640 Speaker 1: they're old, but because I am starting to see, Okay, 388 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,359 Speaker 1: guys are starting to miss a little bit, They're starting 389 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,119 Speaker 1: to get injured here and there, and that some of 390 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,959 Speaker 1: the injuries are pretty seeing. When you're talking next and backs, 391 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,679 Speaker 1: that starts to make you worry, right, So from that standpoint, 392 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 1: it has my attention. Here's the issue, though, The issue 393 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,920 Speaker 1: is if we're walking as of what we know right now, 394 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 1: I don't even think offensive line is in top five 395 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 1: of the issues I think I need to address next 396 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,160 Speaker 1: year in the offseason. That being said, when you start 397 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,200 Speaker 1: talking about using high capital, unless a guy just completely 398 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:50,399 Speaker 1: false to me, I'm not going to set aside draft 399 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,880 Speaker 1: picks for the offensive line because I have so many 400 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,200 Speaker 1: other areas that I need to address that I feel 401 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 1: like a much bigger priorities to me right now than 402 00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:01,320 Speaker 1: offensive line exactly. Yeah, that's a tough one because again, 403 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 1: every year it's like a guy or an injury gets 404 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,160 Speaker 1: added on top of what you already had to deal 405 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 1: with in the past. It sucks, don't get me wrong, 406 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 1: But there's bigger, bigger fish to fry. Oh doubt. Now. 407 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 1: I got this question prior to the to the bye 408 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,359 Speaker 1: week when we were supposed to play this game, Derek, 409 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,439 Speaker 1: but we'll answer it and we'll change it to instead 410 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 1: of the bye week, say, within the next few weeks, 411 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:30,119 Speaker 1: will Dak Prescott be signing a contract within the next 412 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 1: few weeks? Few as in three? Well, what are we 413 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,399 Speaker 1: going to write about today? Well? What's what's? Uh? What 414 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 1: Jerry say today? He said that there has been positive 415 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 1: movement and he's but he also but he said he 416 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,880 Speaker 1: was like, he's like I always think there's movement even 417 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 1: when there's not movement. Like it was classic Jerry, like, 418 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 1: let me contradict myself like four times. Basically, you're gonna 419 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:55,639 Speaker 1: come away from this and you can write whatever you 420 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:57,640 Speaker 1: want to write because I gave you something for everything. 421 00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 1: I think that they're in a good spot with it, 422 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 1: but I haven't heard or seen anything that makes me 423 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,080 Speaker 1: think it's gonna happen imminently. Well, let's say this, Does 424 00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 1: it happen before the season ends, Yeah, before they see 425 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:13,160 Speaker 1: I don't think they're going to be in a situation 426 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 1: where they have to use the franchise tag on him. 427 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:17,399 Speaker 1: I think they're going to get it done before it 428 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 1: gets to free agency. So if that's end of the year, 429 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 1: if that's I was gonna say, that doesn't mean it 430 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 1: has to happen during the season. They have till February, 431 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,440 Speaker 1: so whatever that date is. I think before you get 432 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,919 Speaker 1: to free agency, he will not hit the free agent market. 433 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 1: He will. I don't think they will use the franchise tag. 434 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,200 Speaker 1: I think they will get something done before that, especially 435 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 1: if he keeps playing like he's playing right now. Because 436 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 1: I personally don't think there are any questions as to 437 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 1: who your quarterback should be for the future. He has 438 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 1: done everything in his first three years that the Cowboys 439 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:51,680 Speaker 1: should want to see from a young quarterback as far 440 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,760 Speaker 1: as his development into being their franchise guys, So I 441 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:56,359 Speaker 1: don't think there should be any questions. I think this 442 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,879 Speaker 1: stal gets done publicly. You know, Jerry's always gonna be 443 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 1: optimistic about what the team is going to do this year. 444 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 1: And now I'm sure he's and he has said it. 445 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:05,880 Speaker 1: I think that we'll turn things around and we'll get 446 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 1: where we want to go. They have to really realistically 447 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,439 Speaker 1: answer that question of what's going to happen here. I 448 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 1: think we're gonna get on a roll and we're gonna 449 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,600 Speaker 1: win and get to the playoffs and all that. If 450 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:18,720 Speaker 1: that happens, DA's going to be playing well and that 451 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 1: price tag is probably gonna go back up. So if 452 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 1: they find themselves in a situation right now where they 453 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,439 Speaker 1: think that Dak's going to continue to play well and 454 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 1: the numbers are good, maybe right now they probably should 455 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:31,360 Speaker 1: do it because I guarantee if they get to where 456 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:32,679 Speaker 1: they want to go to, the price tag will go 457 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,160 Speaker 1: back up. But Joe, if it went down at all, 458 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 1: that's my thing. I don't know that. I don't know 459 00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 1: that the price tag is fluctuating by a week or 460 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,199 Speaker 1: two week or three week. I really don't think it is. 461 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,440 Speaker 1: I think Dax people are one place. I think the 462 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:46,880 Speaker 1: Cowboys are another place, and I think it's pretty much 463 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 1: staying consistent because that's where they are, and I think 464 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 1: at some point they're going to meet in the middle. 465 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 1: Here's the thing, you know, I'm not worried. Yeah, Dak's 466 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:55,639 Speaker 1: play on a week to week basis isn't going to 467 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 1: affect anything, but another contract would. And that's what I 468 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:01,880 Speaker 1: would be worried about if I were them. Pat Mahomes 469 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,480 Speaker 1: can resign after the season's over. Yeah, it's after his 470 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 1: third year. He at what point is it before February, 471 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:10,080 Speaker 1: that fourth February deadline or is it a February as 472 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 1: far as I'm aware, once his third season is finished signed. Yeah, 473 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,159 Speaker 1: like Pat Mahomes can resign in January or whenever. The 474 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,879 Speaker 1: Chiefs are done to throw everything out away exactly, so 475 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 1: they should probably be a million dollars. They should probably 476 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 1: figure it out before that happens. That's all I'm saying. 477 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 1: That's a good point. All right, how's this defense finally clicked? 478 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:33,880 Speaker 1: Will they be playing to the expectations that people initially had? 479 00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:39,280 Speaker 1: So after watching the Eagles games two different questions there, 480 00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 1: I say, no, Ansie, Oh okay, because I don't think 481 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,479 Speaker 1: they've clicked. Who's to say that they have clicked? They 482 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,679 Speaker 1: haven't yet. But will they meet the expectations? Yeah? I 483 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:50,920 Speaker 1: think so. I think they are going to. I think 484 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 1: that Michael Benn if they meet the high expectations. I 485 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:59,440 Speaker 1: guess he's saying, but they haven't clicked. I haven't seen one. 486 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,119 Speaker 1: You don't think, Well, oh, with Michael Bennett, I think 487 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:03,600 Speaker 1: that's see what you say. I thought you were saying 488 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:05,680 Speaker 1: they haven't clicked yet the season, because I think they 489 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 1: were a couple of games where the defense has seemed 490 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:13,720 Speaker 1: like they were the more they've they've played two really 491 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:17,160 Speaker 1: good games out of seven, But that's not a great percentage, 492 00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 1: as the percentage will get higher that I agree. So 493 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 1: I hope so, but I mean I'd like to see 494 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 1: it some more before I just blindly assume it's going 495 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 1: to happen. Yeah, I hope they can carry that Eagles 496 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:32,240 Speaker 1: game forward, but let's see what they do Monday. I mean, 497 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:36,160 Speaker 1: that's They've been so up and down all season long, really, 498 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 1: so I think I'm optimistic it'll be better at going forward. 499 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 1: I will just say, for me, the one thing I've 500 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,359 Speaker 1: complained about the most about this defense this season was 501 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,159 Speaker 1: and I felt like they weren't getting enough push in 502 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,680 Speaker 1: the middle. That was my biggest complaint. I was just like, 503 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 1: they're just not the tackles aren't giving you anything when 504 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:55,119 Speaker 1: it comes to the past rush, and that's why you 505 00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,520 Speaker 1: keep seeing these defensive engines or run right around them. 506 00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 1: They're running right around the quarterback and the only times 507 00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:02,640 Speaker 1: it getting sacks or affecting quarterback really is when they're 508 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,239 Speaker 1: able to kind of reach around to grab him as 509 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,359 Speaker 1: they're running past him, and that's how they make plays. 510 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:09,960 Speaker 1: You get a push up the middle. Now these defensive 511 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 1: ends get a ton better, and I think this move 512 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,879 Speaker 1: solves that problem. And if you solve that problem, I 513 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:20,000 Speaker 1: think the turnover problem gets solved because now quarterbacks are 514 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:21,479 Speaker 1: going to be a little more anti They're gonna make 515 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 1: some bad decisions and hopefully, hopefully the secondary can take 516 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 1: advantage of linebackers can take advantage, you can get some turnovers. 517 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:29,800 Speaker 1: So for me, this is where it all starts. I 518 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:31,919 Speaker 1: think this was the move to actually make this defense 519 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:35,639 Speaker 1: click more than it's been clicking before. Now we have 520 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 1: recently started talking about Luke Geffer. Do you expect him 521 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:44,600 Speaker 1: to have an impact this year? No? No, I mean 522 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,880 Speaker 1: an impact, like a real impact that that would require 523 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:50,720 Speaker 1: a lot of people getting hurt. I mean he's not 524 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 1: just going to be magically playing over Sean Lee, Layton, 525 00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:57,480 Speaker 1: vander esh and Chalen Smith yeah, not really. What's he 526 00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:01,240 Speaker 1: one of those guys that just that we just noticed 527 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,240 Speaker 1: in training camp because he wasn't a name that we 528 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 1: really cared about a whole lot, and because he made 529 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:07,680 Speaker 1: a couple of plays and it's like, oh, wow, Luke Gifford, 530 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,040 Speaker 1: or do you think he really has something where this 531 00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,639 Speaker 1: guy is a starter caliber linebacker in the NFL. I 532 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 1: don't know about that, But honestly, the Luke Gifford whispers 533 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,600 Speaker 1: started before he even played a game, Like the coaching 534 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,399 Speaker 1: staff was enamored with him, and what that means is 535 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,280 Speaker 1: like they're impressed by what he can handle, what he 536 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:27,159 Speaker 1: can process, how many things they tell him to do, 537 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,920 Speaker 1: and how quickly he does it. So in that regard, 538 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 1: I do think he could be a good player, just 539 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 1: if he can catch on that quickly, like two weeks 540 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:40,720 Speaker 1: into his pro career. But I haven't seen anything close 541 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:42,159 Speaker 1: to enough to know if he's going to be like 542 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:46,440 Speaker 1: a superstar. His body catches your attention, and by that, 543 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:51,720 Speaker 1: I mean stop it. I'm just listening. If you guys 544 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:53,680 Speaker 1: said it, it sounds okay, But then if a girl 545 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:59,399 Speaker 1: says he's like, oh no, what I mean by that 546 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 1: is he kind of has that linebacker mold that the 547 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 1: rest of these linebackers have. And yes, and that little 548 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 1: triangle type body where he kind of fits the mold 549 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:16,200 Speaker 1: of all the rest of linebackers, Shan Lee, Jalen Layton, 550 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 1: he fits in that group, you know what I mean. 551 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 1: So that's how he caught my attention because a training 552 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,199 Speaker 1: camp when he was in the bunch, I'm like, oh, wow, Okay, 553 00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:28,240 Speaker 1: he looks like he has the build for to be 554 00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:31,359 Speaker 1: in this group and just with some time and for 555 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:34,160 Speaker 1: him to get you know, developed a little more than 556 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:38,239 Speaker 1: I think, he has the potential to be effective on 557 00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,639 Speaker 1: the field for the Cowboys. Can see that. I mean, 558 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,080 Speaker 1: because he was making plays. And I mean, so I 559 00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:45,879 Speaker 1: think to what you're saying is he was making plays 560 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:47,439 Speaker 1: that when you're at camp and you're like kind of 561 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,160 Speaker 1: from Afar, You're like, oh, Sean Lee's looking pretty good. Wait, 562 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 1: that's not Sean Lee. It kind of looks like him, 563 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:54,200 Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, but because they are kind of built 564 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 1: the same in white and you know, and making play 565 00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,119 Speaker 1: and he was making plays and that's what you know. 566 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,359 Speaker 1: He doesn't fifty seven though, like Luke Gifford does. Right, 567 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:07,800 Speaker 1: All right, cool, all right, We're so dangerously close to 568 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,920 Speaker 1: the ditch right now. This is a really tough one. 569 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:15,600 Speaker 1: Cowboys will finish the season with both their offense and 570 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:20,360 Speaker 1: defense ranked in the top five in the league. We're 571 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:24,320 Speaker 1: talking about I'm tek my yards in their rankings, no where. 572 00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:26,919 Speaker 1: I feel bad for not knowing to Does anybody know 573 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 1: where the defense is right now? I don't even think. 574 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:31,120 Speaker 1: I don't think they're in the top ten. I think 575 00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,720 Speaker 1: I thought it was like they Yeah, I wouldn't it was, 576 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:36,160 Speaker 1: it was right outside of it. It was ten going 577 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 1: into the Eagles game. Yeah, I would guess around twelve 578 00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:41,920 Speaker 1: or so. I would guess twelve with their team, wouldn't 579 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:43,880 Speaker 1: you say? Well, I don't know whether byeweek does I 580 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:47,320 Speaker 1: don't know if it's still an average they don't. I 581 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 1: don't know if only four people who cover the team 582 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 1: professionally had this in front of them, or I'll get it, 583 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:55,680 Speaker 1: We'll keep talking. I don't think that's going to happen though. 584 00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 1: Just be top five is tough because it's just on 585 00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:02,480 Speaker 1: either side. It's just an in the NFL, like look 586 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 1: across that. I don't think there's any team that's top 587 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:10,080 Speaker 1: five and they factor they're eight. Yeah, see yeah, Okay, 588 00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:12,280 Speaker 1: so the offense is number one right now, right, we 589 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 1: have watched they're they're not number one, but they're in 590 00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:17,200 Speaker 1: the top five. They're Oh no, they are one. I'm 591 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 1: sorry that one. They were three before the Eagles game 592 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:21,520 Speaker 1: and they opped up. Yeah, they're number one and your 593 00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:25,720 Speaker 1: number eight defense, you see, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna 594 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 1: go see two. I'm like, why not, just why not 595 00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 1: be optimistic and like they've got them no, because they 596 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,360 Speaker 1: got the talent. I just it's not it's not a 597 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,160 Speaker 1: negative thing. I just think most most of the time 598 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,440 Speaker 1: that it affects each other. So if if your offense 599 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:41,840 Speaker 1: is gonna keep doing that, you're gonna if you're gonna 600 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 1: get in the lead. I mean, if this offense stays 601 00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:47,560 Speaker 1: number one, they're gonna be successful and win some of 602 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,320 Speaker 1: these games. And when you do that, your defense suffers 603 00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:52,200 Speaker 1: for that. So let me ask you this. Don't think 604 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,520 Speaker 1: they will. They will. The fact that the Cowboys, the 605 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,960 Speaker 1: fact that the Cowboys are number eight, number eight defense, 606 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:03,200 Speaker 1: and are we maybe miss evaluating how good they've played 607 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 1: relative to the rest of the NFL. I mean, we 608 00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:07,160 Speaker 1: only watched them every week, so we see all the 609 00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,880 Speaker 1: deficiencies we see where they don't quite meet up to standards. 610 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:13,360 Speaker 1: But when you look at it, if they're eighth, are 611 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:16,440 Speaker 1: they maybe better than we're giving them credit for. Stacked 612 00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 1: together some more performances and make me forget about what 613 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,600 Speaker 1: Sam Darnold did to you and we can revisit it. 614 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:26,320 Speaker 1: That's the thing every question really comes down to. Still 615 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:30,400 Speaker 1: was the Jet? I get it, That's what I'm saying, 616 00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:32,800 Speaker 1: Like every answer to a question still comes back to 617 00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:36,120 Speaker 1: the Jets. Like what you saw against the Jets? What 618 00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 1: is that? I don't feel guilty about it with that? 619 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,840 Speaker 1: I mean, and okay, obviously the Pats were gonna blow 620 00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:44,280 Speaker 1: them out, but the Jaguars kick their butts too, like 621 00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:48,000 Speaker 1: their garbage. They're bad and they did that to the Cowboys. 622 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,880 Speaker 1: So no, they don't get that benefit of them. You don't. 623 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:52,840 Speaker 1: You have not beaten a team right now with the 624 00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 1: winning record you still have it, so I don't think. 625 00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,200 Speaker 1: I don't think we're not giving them the benefit of 626 00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,320 Speaker 1: the down. And they haven't really proven that they can 627 00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 1: beat quality team yet. I mean, the Eagles are quality, 628 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:05,440 Speaker 1: I think, and they beat them pretty good. But yeah, 629 00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:07,880 Speaker 1: that's really their only really good win. And that I mean, 630 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,840 Speaker 1: you know they are. There are so many teams that 631 00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:14,120 Speaker 1: would kill for a defense that's played this way. But 632 00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 1: that's the expectations when you have this many good players 633 00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:21,760 Speaker 1: and three All pros and give you know, given out 634 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:24,280 Speaker 1: big contracts like those are the expectations that go with that. 635 00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:26,840 Speaker 1: So that's where we're at. All right, final question? All right, 636 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:32,080 Speaker 1: Cowboys will beat the Giants Monday night? See see see 637 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:35,239 Speaker 1: all right, we got it? What's your answer? See? All right? 638 00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:37,760 Speaker 1: We all are in on this. That hasn't gone well 639 00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:43,080 Speaker 1: for they have no first week we all we're all 640 00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:45,720 Speaker 1: in on every game, but then it kind of fell 641 00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,080 Speaker 1: apart of I pride myself on being the you know, 642 00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:52,160 Speaker 1: the realistic guy, and I've picked all wins this year. Yeah, 643 00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,760 Speaker 1: I don't know what's wrong with me. It Hasn't that 644 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:58,040 Speaker 1: going to change? Is that going to be England? We'll see, Well, 645 00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,360 Speaker 1: we'll see how they play, like how they play, you know, 646 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 1: it's like a clean slate.
