<v Speaker 1>And Bar Garcia and Derek Eagleton. It is Friday, November first,

0:00:40.400 --> 0:00:44.040
<v Speaker 1>twenty nineteen, Season fifteen, episode number seventy four. Welcome to

0:00:44.080 --> 0:00:49.080
<v Speaker 1>another edition of Break seventy four. Seventy four. Thank I

0:00:49.120 --> 0:00:52.640
<v Speaker 1>didn't really didn't know that. Why is there something you

0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:54.720
<v Speaker 1>need to do? Yeah, I'll do it at a break

0:00:55.440 --> 0:00:58.880
<v Speaker 1>all right. Sorry, I didn't realize that he was seventy four.

0:00:59.000 --> 0:01:00.560
<v Speaker 1>If you paid attention, yes, say, you would have known

0:01:00.640 --> 0:01:02.840
<v Speaker 1>his seventy times. I got it. I never pay attention

0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:04.840
<v Speaker 1>to your leader. I know because every time when I'm

0:01:04.840 --> 0:01:06.959
<v Speaker 1>starting my show, if if you guys notice Ambers on

0:01:06.959 --> 0:01:14.800
<v Speaker 1>her phone, days on his phone? Perfect is that? And

0:01:14.880 --> 0:01:16.360
<v Speaker 1>I was like, you know what, it's actually kind of

0:01:16.360 --> 0:01:17.759
<v Speaker 1>cold in here. So I was like, man, I don't

0:01:17.800 --> 0:01:20.039
<v Speaker 1>worry about it. I'll just tweet something later. But if

0:01:20.040 --> 0:01:23.000
<v Speaker 1>it is seventy four, see perfect. For those of you

0:01:23.040 --> 0:01:25.839
<v Speaker 1>that don't know Bob, that was his number seventy four. Yeah,

0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:28.200
<v Speaker 1>people that are listening, they don't know that they're on

0:01:28.240 --> 0:01:31.240
<v Speaker 1>the wrong. If you're listening to Cowboys Break, I bet

0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:34.080
<v Speaker 1>you know there's only one seventy four. There's only one

0:01:34.120 --> 0:01:36.280
<v Speaker 1>player to ever wear it, and it's him. It's a

0:01:36.360 --> 0:01:39.840
<v Speaker 1>regular Seas game. Yeah, yeah, anyone that matters put some

0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:43.920
<v Speaker 1>respect on Jalen jelks name. That's true. So when anytime

0:01:43.959 --> 0:01:46.720
<v Speaker 1>somebody comes in and they say, oh, they got seventy four, like,

0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:50.080
<v Speaker 1>that's not looking good for you. They don't expect you

0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:52.280
<v Speaker 1>to be here for long or in that number. Cool

0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:54.200
<v Speaker 1>T shirt? What is that though? Let people know what

0:01:54.240 --> 0:01:59.320
<v Speaker 1>it is. Um, it's the Dallas Cowboys. Um throwback shirts.

0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:03.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I'm never really player card T shirts.

0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:07.600
<v Speaker 1>It's honestly, it's one of the coolest promotions that I

0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:10.160
<v Speaker 1>can remember. Like they if you're not aware of this,

0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:14.000
<v Speaker 1>they release a shirt for a different player on every Monday. Yeah,

0:02:14.080 --> 0:02:15.880
<v Speaker 1>and they've been doing. Is it Monday? Yeah? I think

0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:18.400
<v Speaker 1>it is. Yeah. I think they make an available Monday.

0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:21.400
<v Speaker 1>But there they got them for all different players like

0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:25.160
<v Speaker 1>Bob Lily, Drew Pearson, Roger Staubach, Emmitt Smith, Michael Irvin.

0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:28.080
<v Speaker 1>I think this is Irvan's week. I'd like they're selling

0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:30.280
<v Speaker 1>Irvan shirts in the store this week. The one that

0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:33.280
<v Speaker 1>Nick has is from last weekend. Yeah, there he is

0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:36.919
<v Speaker 1>in there. You go. Um. Yeah, and they like they

0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:39.360
<v Speaker 1>so they make them available. They stay available. So if

0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:41.799
<v Speaker 1>you missed to your favorite player. You can go get them.

0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:44.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm really excited about the Darren Woodson shirt. I don't

0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:47.520
<v Speaker 1>remember remember when it comes out, but it'll come out

0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:49.680
<v Speaker 1>at some point this season. Yeah. Yeah, they're really really

0:02:49.680 --> 0:02:52.160
<v Speaker 1>cool promotions. When they first told us about it, I

0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:54.480
<v Speaker 1>thought it was really really great promotion, especially for people

0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:56.200
<v Speaker 1>that have been fans for a long time. It's got

0:02:56.240 --> 0:02:58.600
<v Speaker 1>some really really cool, really cool and they got some

0:02:58.800 --> 0:03:01.880
<v Speaker 1>modern ones too, like they have dak Zeke de Marcus.

0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:05.519
<v Speaker 1>I think the Marcus were Layton vander Esh. Yeah. Yeah,

0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:09.720
<v Speaker 1>so really cool. So nice. Okay, you guys get to

0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:12.560
<v Speaker 1>see now that we're done selling T shirts. Yeah, so

0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:14.800
<v Speaker 1>what we do, Yeah, we do. We do a lot

0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:17.679
<v Speaker 1>of stuff. Yeah all right, so let's let's jump into

0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:18.920
<v Speaker 1>this thing. I need to talk We need to talk

0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:20.800
<v Speaker 1>a little bit about some injuries and and get to

0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:23.920
<v Speaker 1>uh the enactors for this week, and then Amber has

0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:25.360
<v Speaker 1>a game for us. We've been trying to get this

0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:28.040
<v Speaker 1>game in now for like two weeks, and this morning

0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:29.399
<v Speaker 1>Amber hit me up and it was like, we better

0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:32.160
<v Speaker 1>get it on the show to today. See you. No,

0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:34.920
<v Speaker 1>this is what really happened. I got a text from

0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:37.640
<v Speaker 1>Derek saying, hey, I don't really know what to talk

0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:43.560
<v Speaker 1>about on the show. We will completely bad. Keep the

0:03:43.680 --> 0:03:47.800
<v Speaker 1>curtain a little, I keep it real. This has gone

0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:51.320
<v Speaker 1>on for for me for twenty years. The Friday after

0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:55.200
<v Speaker 1>the bye week's stream, you're like, give me a game, Please,

0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:58.320
<v Speaker 1>give me give a game. Then see your no will work? Okay,

0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:00.680
<v Speaker 1>that's you're about to say, give me a game. See

0:04:00.760 --> 0:04:02.119
<v Speaker 1>or no? He said, we need a game. We're gonna

0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:03.760
<v Speaker 1>play games here, all right, So we're gonna do that.

0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:06.360
<v Speaker 1>Let's talk first about injuries. The interesting thing is there's

0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:09.160
<v Speaker 1>only one guy that that is not practicing. That's Cam Flamming.

0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:11.360
<v Speaker 1>You guys mentioned that yesterday. The assumption right now is

0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:13.960
<v Speaker 1>that these Cam's not gonna play. He's not playing. There

0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:16.840
<v Speaker 1>were five guys that were limited in practice, Anthony Brown,

0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:20.320
<v Speaker 1>Lyall Collins, Zach Martin, Tyrn Smith, Layton Vanderesh. Any of

0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:23.640
<v Speaker 1>those five expected to maybe not play. So this is

0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:26.000
<v Speaker 1>tricky because it's Monday night. I know it's Friday, it's

0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:28.480
<v Speaker 1>the last show we're gonna do, but it's only Thursday

0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:33.360
<v Speaker 1>for them, so it's early. I think I feel good

0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:36.000
<v Speaker 1>about most of those guys. I'm curious about Anthony Brown

0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:39.400
<v Speaker 1>because his hamstring was pretty severe. He's missed. I think too,

0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:42.280
<v Speaker 1>he's been missing since the Green Bay game or the

0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:44.600
<v Speaker 1>Jets game. I'm sorry, Yeah, you heard in the Jets game.

0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:47.400
<v Speaker 1>So I'm worried about him, and I'm a little nervous

0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:50.960
<v Speaker 1>about Layden Vanderesh just you know, he had a stinger.

0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:53.880
<v Speaker 1>It was pretty severe from what we heard as far

0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:57.039
<v Speaker 1>as stingers go, I think they're easing him back in,

0:04:57.680 --> 0:04:59.440
<v Speaker 1>which again, I mean, you know, I wish it was

0:04:59.480 --> 0:05:02.000
<v Speaker 1>actually Friday and we'd have a better idea. I just

0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:03.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't have a good read on that. But those

0:05:03.680 --> 0:05:05.560
<v Speaker 1>are two guys you keep an eye off. The guys

0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:07.960
<v Speaker 1>that are on that list, Like Zach Martin is gonna play.

0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:10.679
<v Speaker 1>I think both of the offensive tackles are fine. I'm

0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:14.160
<v Speaker 1>not as sure about Brown and Vanderesh's surprised if Brown

0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:17.160
<v Speaker 1>doesn't play. I watched him kind of in his rehab

0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:19.280
<v Speaker 1>like a week ago, like on the Chords, and the

0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:22.000
<v Speaker 1>thought because we were we couldn't tell who it was. Yeah,

0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:23.520
<v Speaker 1>we were just like, I don't know who this guy is,

0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:24.960
<v Speaker 1>but he looks like he's ready to go, And it

0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:27.720
<v Speaker 1>was him. So that was a week ago. Unless he's

0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:29.400
<v Speaker 1>had any setbacks, which I don't think he has. I

0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:32.320
<v Speaker 1>think he'll be good. He'll be good. I wouldn't. I

0:05:32.320 --> 0:05:35.320
<v Speaker 1>would not be surprised if all five play. And that's,

0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:37.960
<v Speaker 1>like I said, it sucks because that thing's gonna happen.

0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:41.080
<v Speaker 1>It's you know, they don't play till Monday night, it's Friday,

0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:44.520
<v Speaker 1>or it's Friday morning. So between that's seventy two hours.

0:05:44.600 --> 0:05:47.440
<v Speaker 1>Tomorrow is Friday. I know it's Friday for them, but

0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:50.640
<v Speaker 1>for us, for fans that are trying to figure out

0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:53.040
<v Speaker 1>that who's gonna play. I just hate and Garrett. I mean,

0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:55.000
<v Speaker 1>I get it. I don't understand what he does. It's

0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:58.800
<v Speaker 1>so like the effort, the effort that they take to

0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:01.360
<v Speaker 1>do this, like you know, to make things feel like

0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:04.040
<v Speaker 1>they are every you know, every Friday. They have certain

0:06:04.120 --> 0:06:06.880
<v Speaker 1>songs they play on Friday. I can't remember the guy's name,

0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:09.560
<v Speaker 1>but they play a song called Friday at practice. They

0:06:09.560 --> 0:06:12.320
<v Speaker 1>didn't play it today, they will probably play They're gonna

0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:14.760
<v Speaker 1>play it tomorrow. They serve Split Peace soup in the

0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:18.280
<v Speaker 1>cafeteria on Fridays. I believe that's a Jason Garrett favorite.

0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:20.920
<v Speaker 1>They're not gonna serve it today. They're gonna serve it tomorrow,

0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:24.200
<v Speaker 1>like all of this, like they go to such crazy

0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:27.599
<v Speaker 1>lengths to get people into that mindset. You go by

0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:32.160
<v Speaker 1>our office today about two o'clock, it's Friday, Friday, walk

0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:36.320
<v Speaker 1>it or anything you got for us? Yeah, you got

0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:40.480
<v Speaker 1>lots of us, but around us. Yeah, maybe let's talk

0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:42.880
<v Speaker 1>about an actives. Kem Fleming will obviously put on there.

0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:45.680
<v Speaker 1>But then you got guys like Adam Redmond, Joe Jackson,

0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:53.000
<v Speaker 1>Tristan Hill, Connor mcgovernment, Luke Gifford, Donovan Wilson, sorry, Ventrell Bryant,

0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:56.640
<v Speaker 1>Devin Smith, Cedric Wilson. Right, of all those guys, where

0:06:56.640 --> 0:06:58.679
<v Speaker 1>do you find six more guys who will be an active?

0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:02.520
<v Speaker 1>Give me one receiver for sure, Devin Smith or Cedric Wilson,

0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:05.719
<v Speaker 1>probably both, because if Cop and Cooper are both healthy,

0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:07.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't know that you need him both. We'll just

0:07:07.240 --> 0:07:10.840
<v Speaker 1>take one for sure, Devin Smith probably. Yeah. Um give

0:07:10.920 --> 0:07:14.520
<v Speaker 1>me Adam Redman, he's you know, all reliable. Give me

0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:19.960
<v Speaker 1>Triston Hill, I mean yeah, yeah, just doesn't feel like

0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:23.040
<v Speaker 1>he's playing right based on what's happened to before and

0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:25.680
<v Speaker 1>adding a new another guy. Well, let's first of all

0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:28.920
<v Speaker 1>the other guy. Um it means it is Michael Bennett,

0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:35.400
<v Speaker 1>because Michael Bennett replaced Hamilton, right, Hamilton who was inactive? Yeah,

0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:38.400
<v Speaker 1>what are you thinking like this like the I don't

0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:39.960
<v Speaker 1>know which you know what I'm yeah, I'm then you

0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:42.720
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm thinking? I live with a theater nerd. Yeah,

0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:47.840
<v Speaker 1>I was about to go. I'm sorry. Um yeah. So

0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:50.880
<v Speaker 1>Tristan Hill probably he was sent home from practice. They

0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:53.360
<v Speaker 1>added a d tackle to the mix. We never talked

0:07:53.360 --> 0:07:56.080
<v Speaker 1>about that, but yeah, go ahead, Sorry, not much to

0:07:56.120 --> 0:07:58.360
<v Speaker 1>talk about it. I mean these guys they were late,

0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:00.880
<v Speaker 1>and Jason Garrett I think, wanted to kind of send

0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:03.320
<v Speaker 1>a message. And you know, I don't disagree with that,

0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:06.680
<v Speaker 1>Antoine woulds Tristan Hill. They were they were late for

0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:08.920
<v Speaker 1>a meeting on Tuesday. They were gone for four days

0:08:09.280 --> 0:08:11.120
<v Speaker 1>and then they were gonna be gone for a fifth

0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:14.600
<v Speaker 1>day on Wednesday. So be here and be here on time.

0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:17.520
<v Speaker 1>I guarantee that. With Garrett just being frustrated and wanted

0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:19.920
<v Speaker 1>to send a message and said, you know what, you've

0:08:19.960 --> 0:08:22.000
<v Speaker 1>had enough time off. I'm asking you to be here

0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:24.480
<v Speaker 1>one day out of a sixth day period and you missed.

0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:27.520
<v Speaker 1>You missed it the meeting, so just go home. That's

0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:29.320
<v Speaker 1>a good point because Garrett was taught. You know, the

0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:31.960
<v Speaker 1>coaches came back Monday, and he made a comment about how,

0:08:32.000 --> 0:08:35.320
<v Speaker 1>like by Monday afternoon it felt like they'd been off

0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:38.439
<v Speaker 1>for six weeks, you know, like he's the coaches are

0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:40.920
<v Speaker 1>like pacing around like waiting for players to get here

0:08:40.920 --> 0:08:42.920
<v Speaker 1>so they can get to work. And yeah, yeah, if

0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:45.800
<v Speaker 1>you're late after that much of a layoff, it's probably aggravating. Yeah,

0:08:45.880 --> 0:08:48.440
<v Speaker 1>no doubt. So we're gonna say, Tristan Hill, what about

0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:54.120
<v Speaker 1>Joe Jackson, Um, sure, yeah, I throw them on there.

0:08:54.559 --> 0:08:57.880
<v Speaker 1>Louke Gifford, Uh, it's kind of you know, wait and

0:08:57.920 --> 0:09:00.720
<v Speaker 1>see with Laton vander Esh. Although if Desh is the

0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:02.960
<v Speaker 1>only one hurt, you could still probably get away with

0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:07.360
<v Speaker 1>sitting him, couldn't you sitting sitting Gifford? And let's say,

0:09:08.679 --> 0:09:11.960
<v Speaker 1>and that's true, I would say a linebacker, let's say,

0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:13.559
<v Speaker 1>let's hold on him for a second. Talk to me

0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:17.040
<v Speaker 1>about about Donovan Wilson or Ventral Bryant. Not not Bryant.

0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:19.280
<v Speaker 1>Bryant's gonna be active and like he's too good on

0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:22.600
<v Speaker 1>special team. Cover your ears. But I wouldn't be surprised

0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:26.120
<v Speaker 1>if Wilson's inactive, Okay, healthy scratch just because there's not

0:09:26.240 --> 0:09:28.480
<v Speaker 1>enough snaps go around, all right, So at that point,

0:09:28.559 --> 0:09:33.640
<v Speaker 1>let's assume it's Redman, let's Jackson Hill, Wilson, Devin Smith.

0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:36.440
<v Speaker 1>You're at five six with Cam Flem and you need

0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:39.320
<v Speaker 1>one more. I would say a linebacker, Luke Gifford, if

0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:43.720
<v Speaker 1>if Vanderesh can go or Vanderesh, Yeah, yeah, that feels

0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:46.360
<v Speaker 1>that feels good. Do we ever do we ever go

0:09:46.440 --> 0:09:49.160
<v Speaker 1>back and see how are these are? You know? I

0:09:50.120 --> 0:09:52.080
<v Speaker 1>hold on? I think we're right more off than hold on.

0:09:52.520 --> 0:09:55.000
<v Speaker 1>Hold on. You need a line you need a special

0:09:55.040 --> 0:09:57.600
<v Speaker 1>teams player. Luke Gifford is going to be a better

0:09:57.640 --> 0:10:01.240
<v Speaker 1>special teams player than Cedric will And if you've got

0:10:01.360 --> 0:10:06.480
<v Speaker 1>Cooper and Cobb, that's true and Gallup, Yeah, you can

0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:09.600
<v Speaker 1>get away with sitting both of those receivers if you

0:10:09.600 --> 0:10:11.640
<v Speaker 1>wanted to. May we're doing it at one point the season.

0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:15.679
<v Speaker 1>I would do that, knowing that Layton. So I'm over

0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:18.199
<v Speaker 1>here talking like like I'm gonna call Jason, like, no,

0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:20.760
<v Speaker 1>this is what we've decided, coach, But I mean that's

0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:22.520
<v Speaker 1>what I would scratch the original play. Yeah, no, that

0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:25.240
<v Speaker 1>makes sense. It makes more sense just because Layton kind

0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:28.360
<v Speaker 1>of banged up to yourself. If Cobb's healthy, you've got

0:10:28.360 --> 0:10:30.960
<v Speaker 1>two returners. I mean you have a stinger. Yeah, it

0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:33.680
<v Speaker 1>feels good, but he's not taking a hit out there

0:10:33.760 --> 0:10:35.640
<v Speaker 1>like he's gonna take on the first play of the game.

0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:38.280
<v Speaker 1>You guys are agreeing Cedric Wilson as the Yeah, both

0:10:38.960 --> 0:10:45.080
<v Speaker 1>Redmond Jackson, Hill Smith, Wilson and Wilson the two. Wilson's

0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:49.040
<v Speaker 1>love it with Flemy. Okay, awesome, So we got it.

0:10:49.080 --> 0:10:50.800
<v Speaker 1>I'll send it over to coach. We'll get that all set.

0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:52.760
<v Speaker 1>Appreciate that, and Dave, you go and writ your story.

0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:54.280
<v Speaker 1>Let's have ready for some of them. You know what,

0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:56.080
<v Speaker 1>I might. I might do that just to get it

0:10:56.080 --> 0:10:57.920
<v Speaker 1>out of the way from Monday by store. All right,

0:10:58.040 --> 0:10:59.920
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna take our first break. We're gonna come back,

0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:02.280
<v Speaker 1>and Amber's gonna lead us through a session of seat

0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:04.160
<v Speaker 1>or nope, but then we come right back. This is

<v Speaker 1>questions here on the air. So I'll already have our

0:13:56.160 --> 0:13:59.000
<v Speaker 1>answers in those first quarter. Look at us, aren't the problem.

0:13:59.080 --> 0:14:01.400
<v Speaker 1>The problem is the game starts and we're kind of

0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:03.480
<v Speaker 1>supposed to be watching the game. But at least we'll

0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:05.800
<v Speaker 1>have the first questions in there, and we'll get those

0:14:05.840 --> 0:14:07.760
<v Speaker 1>answers in and we'll be ready to play this week

0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:09.440
<v Speaker 1>so that we don't all up into that. At the

0:14:09.440 --> 0:14:12.559
<v Speaker 1>bottom of the leaderboard list of the supposed celebrity, that's

0:14:12.600 --> 0:14:15.400
<v Speaker 1>where we're hanging a yes we got we gotta join

0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:18.600
<v Speaker 1>me in the seller calf a celebrity. Yeah, it's true.

0:14:19.080 --> 0:14:22.480
<v Speaker 1>Go ahead, I am you are all right good already, Yes,

0:14:22.560 --> 0:14:24.720
<v Speaker 1>we're ready for this. Let's go a what you got?

0:14:24.840 --> 0:14:27.120
<v Speaker 1>What you got? All right? I got a lot of

0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:31.960
<v Speaker 1>people asking the same question. When Anthony Brown is back

0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:36.840
<v Speaker 1>to being healthy, should Jordan Lewis go back to being

0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:40.920
<v Speaker 1>a backup? That is, oh, yeah, that's I mean you

0:14:40.960 --> 0:14:43.440
<v Speaker 1>want to yes or no answer? Uh? My answer not

0:14:43.480 --> 0:14:46.960
<v Speaker 1>a yes or no. It's a CEO no sorry, no, no,

0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:52.400
<v Speaker 1>My answer is no. But here's here's the thing, which

0:14:52.440 --> 0:14:54.880
<v Speaker 1>is why I wanted to qualify. It is like, that

0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:56.800
<v Speaker 1>is what I think. That is what you think. I

0:14:56.800 --> 0:14:58.240
<v Speaker 1>don't want to speak for you, but that's probably what

0:14:58.280 --> 0:15:00.840
<v Speaker 1>you think too. That's not what does that? Does that matter?

0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:03.320
<v Speaker 1>And I honestly don't know the answer. And I feel

0:15:03.320 --> 0:15:06.120
<v Speaker 1>like people people think like we're not trying to get

0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:07.600
<v Speaker 1>to the bottom of that, Like they're not going to

0:15:07.680 --> 0:15:09.560
<v Speaker 1>tell us that I've asked that question like three or

0:15:09.560 --> 0:15:12.040
<v Speaker 1>four different times. They're like, well, you know, find ways

0:15:12.040 --> 0:15:14.000
<v Speaker 1>to get everybody involved. And then you're watching the game

0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:16.200
<v Speaker 1>and you're like Jordan Lewis doesn't come off the sideline

0:15:16.240 --> 0:15:19.560
<v Speaker 1>in forty five minutes. It's just it's how they want

0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:21.480
<v Speaker 1>to do it. And I really don't know the answer.

0:15:21.480 --> 0:15:23.560
<v Speaker 1>I think he's played well enough to be their nickelback.

0:15:23.960 --> 0:15:25.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if they agree. Let's flip that. Do

0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:28.440
<v Speaker 1>you think Anthony Brown has played poorly enough to get

0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:32.240
<v Speaker 1>some planet by Jordan Lewis. It's not about him playing

0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:35.480
<v Speaker 1>poorly enough. He's played average enough. But but Jordan Lewis

0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:37.000
<v Speaker 1>has been in the game and he's made more of

0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:39.560
<v Speaker 1>an impact. He's done enough to make you wonder what

0:15:39.720 --> 0:15:42.480
<v Speaker 1>he can do with more opportunities. It's a good way

0:15:42.520 --> 0:15:44.360
<v Speaker 1>to put it. Yeah, I really don't think Anthony Brown

0:15:44.400 --> 0:15:46.000
<v Speaker 1>has been as bad as a lot of people want

0:15:46.000 --> 0:15:49.040
<v Speaker 1>to act. But I think Jordan Lewis has just slashed more.

0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:52.080
<v Speaker 1>He's done more with the opportunities that he's gotten, which

0:15:52.320 --> 0:15:54.680
<v Speaker 1>you want to reward that, don't you. He's given the

0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:57.880
<v Speaker 1>team what they desperately need. They need some guy that's

0:15:57.880 --> 0:15:59.680
<v Speaker 1>going to make a play, get an interception when you're

0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:02.440
<v Speaker 1>down in your own red zone, or get a sack

0:16:02.480 --> 0:16:04.520
<v Speaker 1>on Carson Wentz and he's done that. So I think

0:16:04.600 --> 0:16:06.640
<v Speaker 1>he's played more so, if we're all seeing the flashes,

0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:09.760
<v Speaker 1>what do you think is holding this coaching staff back

0:16:09.920 --> 0:16:12.600
<v Speaker 1>from putting him on the field more, Because this is

0:16:12.600 --> 0:16:14.440
<v Speaker 1>not just I don't think this is just about the

0:16:14.480 --> 0:16:16.480
<v Speaker 1>last couple of games. I mean throughout the time he's

0:16:16.520 --> 0:16:18.600
<v Speaker 1>been or I think there have been moments where he's flashed.

0:16:19.000 --> 0:16:21.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean, and he just hasn't, for whatever reason, gotten

0:16:21.080 --> 0:16:24.040
<v Speaker 1>more opportunity. I say, let's just wait till Tuesday when

0:16:24.040 --> 0:16:26.840
<v Speaker 1>we talk about it then, because you know, he hadn't

0:16:26.840 --> 0:16:28.960
<v Speaker 1>done a whole lot before the Jets game. It's been

0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:30.920
<v Speaker 1>he's been pretty good. But then the Jets game, he

0:16:30.960 --> 0:16:33.000
<v Speaker 1>gets an interception and then Brown has hurt, and then

0:16:33.000 --> 0:16:34.600
<v Speaker 1>he plays the next week just because he has to,

0:16:34.720 --> 0:16:36.960
<v Speaker 1>and he gets another play. So if they now, if

0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:39.320
<v Speaker 1>it's if they come back to the normal schedule and

0:16:39.440 --> 0:16:42.560
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't play as much, then I think we talk

0:16:42.600 --> 0:16:44.600
<v Speaker 1>about it more. But I think, right I would be

0:16:44.640 --> 0:16:47.280
<v Speaker 1>surprised if he doesn't play more. I hope you're right.

0:16:48.000 --> 0:16:51.160
<v Speaker 1>We'll see. All right, we've been talking about injuries and

0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:54.520
<v Speaker 1>all that are the injuries in the old line kind

0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:58.800
<v Speaker 1>of going to effect or make the Cowboys have to

0:16:58.920 --> 0:17:05.480
<v Speaker 1>use a high draft capital in the offensive line. Yeah,

0:17:05.720 --> 0:17:09.880
<v Speaker 1>in the line for next drive. No, that wouldn't change

0:17:09.880 --> 0:17:13.479
<v Speaker 1>what they do. The injuries that we're seeing. I know

0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:16.600
<v Speaker 1>everybody's trying to bury Tyrn Smith, and I won't do it.

0:17:16.800 --> 0:17:20.520
<v Speaker 1>He's freaki zoid. I know he gets he gets hurt

0:17:20.520 --> 0:17:24.240
<v Speaker 1>from time to time. It's unfortunate. He's still awesome and

0:17:24.640 --> 0:17:27.600
<v Speaker 1>mostly available. Somebody asked me yesterday, They were like, maybe

0:17:27.640 --> 0:17:29.840
<v Speaker 1>they should have traded for Trent Williams. He can, He's

0:17:29.880 --> 0:17:32.600
<v Speaker 1>healthier than Tyron Smith. Trent Williams has missed thirteen games

0:17:32.600 --> 0:17:35.080
<v Speaker 1>the last three years. That type of stuff happens in

0:17:35.119 --> 0:17:37.439
<v Speaker 1>okayall He's still a really good player, and I'm not

0:17:37.520 --> 0:17:39.880
<v Speaker 1>ready to call it a career for him. I think

0:17:39.920 --> 0:17:43.399
<v Speaker 1>if you just altered the question a little bit, or

0:17:43.560 --> 0:17:46.120
<v Speaker 1>you just fast forward to next year. Let's say they're

0:17:46.160 --> 0:17:49.440
<v Speaker 1>picking like twenty third or so twenty fourth, and they're

0:17:49.480 --> 0:17:52.439
<v Speaker 1>sitting there and the best guy on the board is

0:17:52.480 --> 0:17:55.560
<v Speaker 1>an offensive tackle who you thought was twelve or thirteen,

0:17:55.640 --> 0:17:57.760
<v Speaker 1>but now he's kind of fallen a little bit, and

0:17:57.840 --> 0:18:00.439
<v Speaker 1>so he's sitting there and he's your best guy. You've got.

0:18:00.680 --> 0:18:03.800
<v Speaker 1>He's a three year starter at Boston College whatever something

0:18:03.840 --> 0:18:06.560
<v Speaker 1>like that, and you're like, yeah, it makes sense. Just

0:18:06.640 --> 0:18:08.520
<v Speaker 1>kind of like the Eagles, did you know where they

0:18:08.600 --> 0:18:10.440
<v Speaker 1>they took a first round tackle? They didn't know where

0:18:10.440 --> 0:18:12.800
<v Speaker 1>he's going to start right now. But I think that

0:18:12.960 --> 0:18:15.600
<v Speaker 1>was a little more obvious for them because Jason Peters

0:18:15.720 --> 0:18:18.240
<v Speaker 1>is I mean, he might he might get eat another

0:18:18.320 --> 0:18:20.280
<v Speaker 1>year out, but he's like thirty eight years. He seems

0:18:20.320 --> 0:18:22.920
<v Speaker 1>like he's hurt a lot. Yeah he is most Okay,

0:18:22.920 --> 0:18:27.479
<v Speaker 1>forget that Tyrants fifty seven, second round, no doubt. Well,

0:18:27.560 --> 0:18:29.359
<v Speaker 1>let's I mean, you can apply the same logic to

0:18:29.400 --> 0:18:32.320
<v Speaker 1>the Connor mcgovernment pick. If it's like so obvious that

0:18:32.320 --> 0:18:35.600
<v Speaker 1>that's the best player, then that's what you should do. Okay,

0:18:35.640 --> 0:18:38.040
<v Speaker 1>you'll have the best swing tackle in football. That would

0:18:38.160 --> 0:18:40.080
<v Speaker 1>that's fine, But like that's not a role that you

0:18:40.080 --> 0:18:41.680
<v Speaker 1>don't need right now. You can tell you that role,

0:18:41.760 --> 0:18:44.200
<v Speaker 1>right and if that's the way it falls, then that's

0:18:44.240 --> 0:18:46.439
<v Speaker 1>what they should do. Don't window dress your board all

0:18:46.480 --> 0:18:48.439
<v Speaker 1>that good stuff. But like, I'm not going into the

0:18:48.480 --> 0:18:51.160
<v Speaker 1>offseason like they got to do something about this because

0:18:51.560 --> 0:18:54.879
<v Speaker 1>Zach's not going anywhere, orly I'll just resigned. Tyring is

0:18:55.040 --> 0:18:57.960
<v Speaker 1>turning twenty nine in a month, like he's still a

0:18:58.040 --> 0:19:01.840
<v Speaker 1>young player. I will if Travis Frederick's fine too. See,

0:19:01.840 --> 0:19:04.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't really say this, I am more I am

0:19:04.920 --> 0:19:06.399
<v Speaker 1>getting a little bit and I don't even know if

0:19:06.520 --> 0:19:08.639
<v Speaker 1>concerned is the right way. But I am starting to

0:19:09.160 --> 0:19:11.800
<v Speaker 1>raise my own eyebrow a little bit when it comes

0:19:11.920 --> 0:19:15.800
<v Speaker 1>to the age of this offensive line, not necessarily because

0:19:15.800 --> 0:19:18.640
<v Speaker 1>they're old, but because I am starting to see, Okay,

0:19:18.640 --> 0:19:20.359
<v Speaker 1>guys are starting to miss a little bit, They're starting

0:19:20.359 --> 0:19:23.119
<v Speaker 1>to get injured here and there, and that some of

0:19:23.119 --> 0:19:25.959
<v Speaker 1>the injuries are pretty seeing. When you're talking next and backs,

0:19:26.160 --> 0:19:29.679
<v Speaker 1>that starts to make you worry, right, So from that standpoint,

0:19:30.240 --> 0:19:33.520
<v Speaker 1>it has my attention. Here's the issue, though, The issue

0:19:33.560 --> 0:19:35.920
<v Speaker 1>is if we're walking as of what we know right now,

0:19:36.600 --> 0:19:38.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't even think offensive line is in top five

0:19:38.920 --> 0:19:41.280
<v Speaker 1>of the issues I think I need to address next

0:19:41.320 --> 0:19:44.160
<v Speaker 1>year in the offseason. That being said, when you start

0:19:44.200 --> 0:19:47.200
<v Speaker 1>talking about using high capital, unless a guy just completely

0:19:47.200 --> 0:19:50.399
<v Speaker 1>false to me, I'm not going to set aside draft

0:19:50.480 --> 0:19:52.880
<v Speaker 1>picks for the offensive line because I have so many

0:19:52.880 --> 0:19:55.200
<v Speaker 1>other areas that I need to address that I feel

0:19:55.240 --> 0:19:57.560
<v Speaker 1>like a much bigger priorities to me right now than

0:19:57.640 --> 0:20:01.320
<v Speaker 1>offensive line exactly. Yeah, that's a tough one because again,

0:20:01.359 --> 0:20:04.000
<v Speaker 1>every year it's like a guy or an injury gets

0:20:04.000 --> 0:20:07.160
<v Speaker 1>added on top of what you already had to deal

0:20:07.200 --> 0:20:09.560
<v Speaker 1>with in the past. It sucks, don't get me wrong,

0:20:09.640 --> 0:20:13.320
<v Speaker 1>But there's bigger, bigger fish to fry. Oh doubt. Now.

0:20:13.359 --> 0:20:16.560
<v Speaker 1>I got this question prior to the to the bye

0:20:16.600 --> 0:20:19.359
<v Speaker 1>week when we were supposed to play this game, Derek,

0:20:19.560 --> 0:20:22.439
<v Speaker 1>but we'll answer it and we'll change it to instead

0:20:22.440 --> 0:20:25.240
<v Speaker 1>of the bye week, say, within the next few weeks,

0:20:26.119 --> 0:20:30.119
<v Speaker 1>will Dak Prescott be signing a contract within the next

0:20:30.119 --> 0:20:35.080
<v Speaker 1>few weeks? Few as in three? Well, what are we

0:20:35.119 --> 0:20:37.399
<v Speaker 1>going to write about today? Well? What's what's? Uh? What

0:20:37.600 --> 0:20:41.760
<v Speaker 1>Jerry say today? He said that there has been positive

0:20:43.119 --> 0:20:46.040
<v Speaker 1>movement and he's but he also but he said he

0:20:46.119 --> 0:20:48.880
<v Speaker 1>was like, he's like I always think there's movement even

0:20:48.880 --> 0:20:51.080
<v Speaker 1>when there's not movement. Like it was classic Jerry, like,

0:20:51.160 --> 0:20:54.320
<v Speaker 1>let me contradict myself like four times. Basically, you're gonna

0:20:54.320 --> 0:20:55.639
<v Speaker 1>come away from this and you can write whatever you

0:20:55.720 --> 0:20:57.640
<v Speaker 1>want to write because I gave you something for everything.

0:20:57.720 --> 0:20:59.920
<v Speaker 1>I think that they're in a good spot with it,

0:21:00.800 --> 0:21:04.240
<v Speaker 1>but I haven't heard or seen anything that makes me

0:21:04.320 --> 0:21:07.080
<v Speaker 1>think it's gonna happen imminently. Well, let's say this, Does

0:21:07.119 --> 0:21:11.040
<v Speaker 1>it happen before the season ends, Yeah, before they see

0:21:11.640 --> 0:21:13.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't think they're going to be in a situation

0:21:13.160 --> 0:21:15.960
<v Speaker 1>where they have to use the franchise tag on him.

0:21:15.960 --> 0:21:17.399
<v Speaker 1>I think they're going to get it done before it

0:21:17.440 --> 0:21:20.480
<v Speaker 1>gets to free agency. So if that's end of the year,

0:21:20.560 --> 0:21:23.080
<v Speaker 1>if that's I was gonna say, that doesn't mean it

0:21:23.119 --> 0:21:25.480
<v Speaker 1>has to happen during the season. They have till February,

0:21:25.680 --> 0:21:28.440
<v Speaker 1>so whatever that date is. I think before you get

0:21:28.480 --> 0:21:30.919
<v Speaker 1>to free agency, he will not hit the free agent market.

0:21:31.119 --> 0:21:33.280
<v Speaker 1>He will. I don't think they will use the franchise tag.

0:21:33.320 --> 0:21:36.200
<v Speaker 1>I think they will get something done before that, especially

0:21:36.200 --> 0:21:38.280
<v Speaker 1>if he keeps playing like he's playing right now. Because

0:21:38.800 --> 0:21:41.040
<v Speaker 1>I personally don't think there are any questions as to

0:21:41.080 --> 0:21:44.000
<v Speaker 1>who your quarterback should be for the future. He has

0:21:44.040 --> 0:21:47.840
<v Speaker 1>done everything in his first three years that the Cowboys

0:21:48.200 --> 0:21:51.680
<v Speaker 1>should want to see from a young quarterback as far

0:21:51.720 --> 0:21:54.760
<v Speaker 1>as his development into being their franchise guys, So I

0:21:54.800 --> 0:21:56.359
<v Speaker 1>don't think there should be any questions. I think this

0:21:56.400 --> 0:21:58.879
<v Speaker 1>stal gets done publicly. You know, Jerry's always gonna be

0:21:58.920 --> 0:22:01.960
<v Speaker 1>optimistic about what the team is going to do this year.

0:22:02.000 --> 0:22:03.800
<v Speaker 1>And now I'm sure he's and he has said it.

0:22:03.880 --> 0:22:05.880
<v Speaker 1>I think that we'll turn things around and we'll get

0:22:05.920 --> 0:22:09.320
<v Speaker 1>where we want to go. They have to really realistically

0:22:09.359 --> 0:22:12.439
<v Speaker 1>answer that question of what's going to happen here. I

0:22:12.440 --> 0:22:14.600
<v Speaker 1>think we're gonna get on a roll and we're gonna

0:22:14.640 --> 0:22:16.600
<v Speaker 1>win and get to the playoffs and all that. If

0:22:16.600 --> 0:22:18.720
<v Speaker 1>that happens, DA's going to be playing well and that

0:22:18.800 --> 0:22:21.280
<v Speaker 1>price tag is probably gonna go back up. So if

0:22:21.320 --> 0:22:23.760
<v Speaker 1>they find themselves in a situation right now where they

0:22:23.760 --> 0:22:26.439
<v Speaker 1>think that Dak's going to continue to play well and

0:22:26.520 --> 0:22:29.720
<v Speaker 1>the numbers are good, maybe right now they probably should

0:22:29.760 --> 0:22:31.360
<v Speaker 1>do it because I guarantee if they get to where

0:22:31.400 --> 0:22:32.679
<v Speaker 1>they want to go to, the price tag will go

0:22:32.720 --> 0:22:35.160
<v Speaker 1>back up. But Joe, if it went down at all,

0:22:35.280 --> 0:22:37.080
<v Speaker 1>that's my thing. I don't know that. I don't know

0:22:37.119 --> 0:22:39.760
<v Speaker 1>that the price tag is fluctuating by a week or

0:22:39.760 --> 0:22:42.199
<v Speaker 1>two week or three week. I really don't think it is.

0:22:42.240 --> 0:22:44.440
<v Speaker 1>I think Dax people are one place. I think the

0:22:44.480 --> 0:22:46.880
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys are another place, and I think it's pretty much

0:22:46.880 --> 0:22:49.320
<v Speaker 1>staying consistent because that's where they are, and I think

0:22:49.400 --> 0:22:50.960
<v Speaker 1>at some point they're going to meet in the middle.

0:22:51.080 --> 0:22:53.840
<v Speaker 1>Here's the thing, you know, I'm not worried. Yeah, Dak's

0:22:53.880 --> 0:22:55.639
<v Speaker 1>play on a week to week basis isn't going to

0:22:55.680 --> 0:22:59.600
<v Speaker 1>affect anything, but another contract would. And that's what I

0:22:59.640 --> 0:23:01.880
<v Speaker 1>would be worried about if I were them. Pat Mahomes

0:23:01.880 --> 0:23:04.480
<v Speaker 1>can resign after the season's over. Yeah, it's after his

0:23:04.600 --> 0:23:07.320
<v Speaker 1>third year. He at what point is it before February,

0:23:07.359 --> 0:23:10.080
<v Speaker 1>that fourth February deadline or is it a February as

0:23:10.080 --> 0:23:14.560
<v Speaker 1>far as I'm aware, once his third season is finished signed. Yeah,

0:23:14.720 --> 0:23:17.159
<v Speaker 1>like Pat Mahomes can resign in January or whenever. The

0:23:17.200 --> 0:23:19.879
<v Speaker 1>Chiefs are done to throw everything out away exactly, so

0:23:20.000 --> 0:23:22.280
<v Speaker 1>they should probably be a million dollars. They should probably

0:23:22.359 --> 0:23:24.560
<v Speaker 1>figure it out before that happens. That's all I'm saying.

0:23:24.640 --> 0:23:28.720
<v Speaker 1>That's a good point. All right, how's this defense finally clicked?

0:23:29.000 --> 0:23:33.880
<v Speaker 1>Will they be playing to the expectations that people initially had?

0:23:34.359 --> 0:23:39.280
<v Speaker 1>So after watching the Eagles games two different questions there,

0:23:39.320 --> 0:23:42.800
<v Speaker 1>I say, no, Ansie, Oh okay, because I don't think

0:23:42.800 --> 0:23:45.479
<v Speaker 1>they've clicked. Who's to say that they have clicked? They

0:23:45.520 --> 0:23:48.679
<v Speaker 1>haven't yet. But will they meet the expectations? Yeah? I

0:23:48.680 --> 0:23:50.920
<v Speaker 1>think so. I think they are going to. I think

0:23:50.920 --> 0:23:55.560
<v Speaker 1>that Michael Benn if they meet the high expectations. I

0:23:55.560 --> 0:23:59.440
<v Speaker 1>guess he's saying, but they haven't clicked. I haven't seen one.

0:23:59.440 --> 0:24:02.119
<v Speaker 1>You don't think, Well, oh, with Michael Bennett, I think

0:24:02.200 --> 0:24:03.600
<v Speaker 1>that's see what you say. I thought you were saying

0:24:03.800 --> 0:24:05.680
<v Speaker 1>they haven't clicked yet the season, because I think they

0:24:05.680 --> 0:24:08.080
<v Speaker 1>were a couple of games where the defense has seemed

0:24:08.119 --> 0:24:13.720
<v Speaker 1>like they were the more they've they've played two really

0:24:13.720 --> 0:24:17.160
<v Speaker 1>good games out of seven, But that's not a great percentage,

0:24:16.760 --> 0:24:19.520
<v Speaker 1>as the percentage will get higher that I agree. So

0:24:19.800 --> 0:24:24.000
<v Speaker 1>I hope so, but I mean I'd like to see

0:24:24.040 --> 0:24:26.760
<v Speaker 1>it some more before I just blindly assume it's going

0:24:26.800 --> 0:24:29.080
<v Speaker 1>to happen. Yeah, I hope they can carry that Eagles

0:24:29.119 --> 0:24:32.240
<v Speaker 1>game forward, but let's see what they do Monday. I mean,

0:24:32.720 --> 0:24:36.160
<v Speaker 1>that's They've been so up and down all season long, really,

0:24:36.240 --> 0:24:41.080
<v Speaker 1>so I think I'm optimistic it'll be better at going forward.

0:24:41.280 --> 0:24:43.960
<v Speaker 1>I will just say, for me, the one thing I've

0:24:44.000 --> 0:24:47.359
<v Speaker 1>complained about the most about this defense this season was

0:24:47.440 --> 0:24:49.159
<v Speaker 1>and I felt like they weren't getting enough push in

0:24:49.160 --> 0:24:51.680
<v Speaker 1>the middle. That was my biggest complaint. I was just like,

0:24:51.760 --> 0:24:53.800
<v Speaker 1>they're just not the tackles aren't giving you anything when

0:24:53.840 --> 0:24:55.119
<v Speaker 1>it comes to the past rush, and that's why you

0:24:55.200 --> 0:24:57.520
<v Speaker 1>keep seeing these defensive engines or run right around them.

0:24:57.560 --> 0:24:59.800
<v Speaker 1>They're running right around the quarterback and the only times

0:24:59.840 --> 0:25:02.640
<v Speaker 1>it getting sacks or affecting quarterback really is when they're

0:25:02.680 --> 0:25:05.239
<v Speaker 1>able to kind of reach around to grab him as

0:25:05.240 --> 0:25:07.359
<v Speaker 1>they're running past him, and that's how they make plays.

0:25:07.720 --> 0:25:09.960
<v Speaker 1>You get a push up the middle. Now these defensive

0:25:10.040 --> 0:25:13.000
<v Speaker 1>ends get a ton better, and I think this move

0:25:13.920 --> 0:25:16.879
<v Speaker 1>solves that problem. And if you solve that problem, I

0:25:16.920 --> 0:25:20.000
<v Speaker 1>think the turnover problem gets solved because now quarterbacks are

0:25:20.000 --> 0:25:21.479
<v Speaker 1>going to be a little more anti They're gonna make

0:25:21.520 --> 0:25:25.040
<v Speaker 1>some bad decisions and hopefully, hopefully the secondary can take

0:25:25.040 --> 0:25:27.600
<v Speaker 1>advantage of linebackers can take advantage, you can get some turnovers.

0:25:27.800 --> 0:25:29.800
<v Speaker 1>So for me, this is where it all starts. I

0:25:29.840 --> 0:25:31.919
<v Speaker 1>think this was the move to actually make this defense

0:25:31.960 --> 0:25:35.639
<v Speaker 1>click more than it's been clicking before. Now we have

0:25:35.800 --> 0:25:39.520
<v Speaker 1>recently started talking about Luke Geffer. Do you expect him

0:25:39.560 --> 0:25:44.600
<v Speaker 1>to have an impact this year? No? No, I mean

0:25:44.840 --> 0:25:47.880
<v Speaker 1>an impact, like a real impact that that would require

0:25:48.160 --> 0:25:50.720
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people getting hurt. I mean he's not

0:25:50.760 --> 0:25:53.280
<v Speaker 1>just going to be magically playing over Sean Lee, Layton,

0:25:53.359 --> 0:25:57.480
<v Speaker 1>vander esh and Chalen Smith yeah, not really. What's he

0:25:57.480 --> 0:26:01.240
<v Speaker 1>one of those guys that just that we just noticed

0:26:01.240 --> 0:26:03.240
<v Speaker 1>in training camp because he wasn't a name that we

0:26:03.320 --> 0:26:05.560
<v Speaker 1>really cared about a whole lot, and because he made

0:26:05.600 --> 0:26:07.680
<v Speaker 1>a couple of plays and it's like, oh, wow, Luke Gifford,

0:26:08.000 --> 0:26:10.040
<v Speaker 1>or do you think he really has something where this

0:26:10.080 --> 0:26:12.639
<v Speaker 1>guy is a starter caliber linebacker in the NFL. I

0:26:12.640 --> 0:26:15.760
<v Speaker 1>don't know about that, But honestly, the Luke Gifford whispers

0:26:15.800 --> 0:26:18.600
<v Speaker 1>started before he even played a game, Like the coaching

0:26:18.640 --> 0:26:21.399
<v Speaker 1>staff was enamored with him, and what that means is

0:26:21.400 --> 0:26:24.280
<v Speaker 1>like they're impressed by what he can handle, what he

0:26:24.280 --> 0:26:27.159
<v Speaker 1>can process, how many things they tell him to do,

0:26:27.200 --> 0:26:30.920
<v Speaker 1>and how quickly he does it. So in that regard,

0:26:31.400 --> 0:26:33.760
<v Speaker 1>I do think he could be a good player, just

0:26:33.800 --> 0:26:36.480
<v Speaker 1>if he can catch on that quickly, like two weeks

0:26:36.480 --> 0:26:40.720
<v Speaker 1>into his pro career. But I haven't seen anything close

0:26:40.760 --> 0:26:42.159
<v Speaker 1>to enough to know if he's going to be like

0:26:42.160 --> 0:26:46.440
<v Speaker 1>a superstar. His body catches your attention, and by that,

0:26:46.560 --> 0:26:51.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean stop it. I'm just listening. If you guys

0:26:51.720 --> 0:26:53.680
<v Speaker 1>said it, it sounds okay, But then if a girl

0:26:53.720 --> 0:26:59.399
<v Speaker 1>says he's like, oh no, what I mean by that

0:27:00.160 --> 0:27:03.000
<v Speaker 1>is he kind of has that linebacker mold that the

0:27:03.040 --> 0:27:06.800
<v Speaker 1>rest of these linebackers have. And yes, and that little

0:27:06.840 --> 0:27:11.600
<v Speaker 1>triangle type body where he kind of fits the mold

0:27:11.680 --> 0:27:16.200
<v Speaker 1>of all the rest of linebackers, Shan Lee, Jalen Layton,

0:27:16.600 --> 0:27:19.320
<v Speaker 1>he fits in that group, you know what I mean.

0:27:19.359 --> 0:27:22.520
<v Speaker 1>So that's how he caught my attention because a training

0:27:22.520 --> 0:27:25.199
<v Speaker 1>camp when he was in the bunch, I'm like, oh, wow, Okay,

0:27:25.280 --> 0:27:28.240
<v Speaker 1>he looks like he has the build for to be

0:27:28.359 --> 0:27:31.359
<v Speaker 1>in this group and just with some time and for

0:27:31.440 --> 0:27:34.160
<v Speaker 1>him to get you know, developed a little more than

0:27:34.760 --> 0:27:38.239
<v Speaker 1>I think, he has the potential to be effective on

0:27:38.280 --> 0:27:40.639
<v Speaker 1>the field for the Cowboys. Can see that. I mean,

0:27:40.640 --> 0:27:43.080
<v Speaker 1>because he was making plays. And I mean, so I

0:27:43.160 --> 0:27:45.879
<v Speaker 1>think to what you're saying is he was making plays

0:27:45.920 --> 0:27:47.439
<v Speaker 1>that when you're at camp and you're like kind of

0:27:47.440 --> 0:27:50.160
<v Speaker 1>from Afar, You're like, oh, Sean Lee's looking pretty good. Wait,

0:27:50.200 --> 0:27:52.080
<v Speaker 1>that's not Sean Lee. It kind of looks like him,

0:27:52.119 --> 0:27:54.200
<v Speaker 1>you know. Yeah, but because they are kind of built

0:27:54.240 --> 0:27:56.760
<v Speaker 1>the same in white and you know, and making play

0:27:56.800 --> 0:27:59.119
<v Speaker 1>and he was making plays and that's what you know.

0:27:59.440 --> 0:28:02.359
<v Speaker 1>He doesn't fifty seven though, like Luke Gifford does. Right,

0:28:03.160 --> 0:28:07.800
<v Speaker 1>All right, cool, all right, We're so dangerously close to

0:28:07.840 --> 0:28:10.920
<v Speaker 1>the ditch right now. This is a really tough one.

0:28:11.640 --> 0:28:15.600
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys will finish the season with both their offense and

0:28:15.720 --> 0:28:20.360
<v Speaker 1>defense ranked in the top five in the league. We're

0:28:20.359 --> 0:28:24.320
<v Speaker 1>talking about I'm tek my yards in their rankings, no where.

0:28:24.560 --> 0:28:26.919
<v Speaker 1>I feel bad for not knowing to Does anybody know

0:28:26.960 --> 0:28:29.560
<v Speaker 1>where the defense is right now? I don't even think.

0:28:29.560 --> 0:28:31.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't think they're in the top ten. I think

0:28:31.320 --> 0:28:33.720
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was like they Yeah, I wouldn't it was,

0:28:33.440 --> 0:28:36.160
<v Speaker 1>it was right outside of it. It was ten going

0:28:36.160 --> 0:28:39.840
<v Speaker 1>into the Eagles game. Yeah, I would guess around twelve

0:28:39.960 --> 0:28:41.920
<v Speaker 1>or so. I would guess twelve with their team, wouldn't

0:28:41.920 --> 0:28:43.880
<v Speaker 1>you say? Well, I don't know whether byeweek does I

0:28:43.880 --> 0:28:47.320
<v Speaker 1>don't know if it's still an average they don't. I

0:28:47.360 --> 0:28:49.400
<v Speaker 1>don't know if only four people who cover the team

0:28:49.400 --> 0:28:52.080
<v Speaker 1>professionally had this in front of them, or I'll get it,

0:28:52.120 --> 0:28:55.680
<v Speaker 1>We'll keep talking. I don't think that's going to happen though.

0:28:56.040 --> 0:28:59.320
<v Speaker 1>Just be top five is tough because it's just on

0:28:59.440 --> 0:29:02.480
<v Speaker 1>either side. It's just an in the NFL, like look

0:29:02.520 --> 0:29:04.600
<v Speaker 1>across that. I don't think there's any team that's top

0:29:04.640 --> 0:29:10.080
<v Speaker 1>five and they factor they're eight. Yeah, see yeah, Okay,

0:29:10.120 --> 0:29:12.280
<v Speaker 1>so the offense is number one right now, right, we

0:29:12.360 --> 0:29:15.080
<v Speaker 1>have watched they're they're not number one, but they're in

0:29:15.120 --> 0:29:17.200
<v Speaker 1>the top five. They're Oh no, they are one. I'm

0:29:17.200 --> 0:29:19.600
<v Speaker 1>sorry that one. They were three before the Eagles game

0:29:19.600 --> 0:29:21.520
<v Speaker 1>and they opped up. Yeah, they're number one and your

0:29:21.600 --> 0:29:25.720
<v Speaker 1>number eight defense, you see, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna

0:29:25.760 --> 0:29:28.840
<v Speaker 1>go see two. I'm like, why not, just why not

0:29:28.920 --> 0:29:31.760
<v Speaker 1>be optimistic and like they've got them no, because they

0:29:31.800 --> 0:29:34.360
<v Speaker 1>got the talent. I just it's not it's not a

0:29:34.440 --> 0:29:37.160
<v Speaker 1>negative thing. I just think most most of the time

0:29:37.200 --> 0:29:39.440
<v Speaker 1>that it affects each other. So if if your offense

0:29:39.520 --> 0:29:41.840
<v Speaker 1>is gonna keep doing that, you're gonna if you're gonna

0:29:41.880 --> 0:29:44.160
<v Speaker 1>get in the lead. I mean, if this offense stays

0:29:44.280 --> 0:29:47.560
<v Speaker 1>number one, they're gonna be successful and win some of

0:29:47.600 --> 0:29:50.320
<v Speaker 1>these games. And when you do that, your defense suffers

0:29:50.360 --> 0:29:52.200
<v Speaker 1>for that. So let me ask you this. Don't think

0:29:52.240 --> 0:29:54.520
<v Speaker 1>they will. They will. The fact that the Cowboys, the

0:29:54.560 --> 0:29:57.960
<v Speaker 1>fact that the Cowboys are number eight, number eight defense,

0:29:58.760 --> 0:30:03.200
<v Speaker 1>and are we maybe miss evaluating how good they've played

0:30:03.240 --> 0:30:05.200
<v Speaker 1>relative to the rest of the NFL. I mean, we

0:30:05.240 --> 0:30:07.160
<v Speaker 1>only watched them every week, so we see all the

0:30:07.160 --> 0:30:09.880
<v Speaker 1>deficiencies we see where they don't quite meet up to standards.

0:30:10.280 --> 0:30:13.360
<v Speaker 1>But when you look at it, if they're eighth, are

0:30:13.360 --> 0:30:16.440
<v Speaker 1>they maybe better than we're giving them credit for. Stacked

0:30:16.440 --> 0:30:19.120
<v Speaker 1>together some more performances and make me forget about what

0:30:19.160 --> 0:30:21.600
<v Speaker 1>Sam Darnold did to you and we can revisit it.

0:30:21.640 --> 0:30:26.320
<v Speaker 1>That's the thing every question really comes down to. Still

0:30:26.440 --> 0:30:30.400
<v Speaker 1>was the Jet? I get it, That's what I'm saying,

0:30:30.440 --> 0:30:32.800
<v Speaker 1>Like every answer to a question still comes back to

0:30:33.200 --> 0:30:36.120
<v Speaker 1>the Jets. Like what you saw against the Jets? What

0:30:36.280 --> 0:30:38.360
<v Speaker 1>is that? I don't feel guilty about it with that?

0:30:39.000 --> 0:30:41.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean, and okay, obviously the Pats were gonna blow

0:30:41.880 --> 0:30:44.280
<v Speaker 1>them out, but the Jaguars kick their butts too, like

0:30:44.320 --> 0:30:48.000
<v Speaker 1>their garbage. They're bad and they did that to the Cowboys.

0:30:48.320 --> 0:30:50.880
<v Speaker 1>So no, they don't get that benefit of them. You don't.

0:30:51.000 --> 0:30:52.840
<v Speaker 1>You have not beaten a team right now with the

0:30:52.880 --> 0:30:55.760
<v Speaker 1>winning record you still have it, so I don't think.

0:30:56.040 --> 0:30:58.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't think we're not giving them the benefit of

0:30:58.240 --> 0:31:00.320
<v Speaker 1>the down. And they haven't really proven that they can

0:31:00.360 --> 0:31:03.560
<v Speaker 1>beat quality team yet. I mean, the Eagles are quality,

0:31:03.600 --> 0:31:05.440
<v Speaker 1>I think, and they beat them pretty good. But yeah,

0:31:05.520 --> 0:31:07.880
<v Speaker 1>that's really their only really good win. And that I mean,

0:31:07.960 --> 0:31:10.840
<v Speaker 1>you know they are. There are so many teams that

0:31:10.880 --> 0:31:14.120
<v Speaker 1>would kill for a defense that's played this way. But

0:31:14.280 --> 0:31:17.680
<v Speaker 1>that's the expectations when you have this many good players

0:31:17.720 --> 0:31:21.760
<v Speaker 1>and three All pros and give you know, given out

0:31:21.840 --> 0:31:24.280
<v Speaker 1>big contracts like those are the expectations that go with that.

0:31:24.400 --> 0:31:26.840
<v Speaker 1>So that's where we're at. All right, final question? All right,

0:31:27.160 --> 0:31:32.080
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys will beat the Giants Monday night? See see see

0:31:32.160 --> 0:31:35.239
<v Speaker 1>all right, we got it? What's your answer? See? All right?

0:31:35.240 --> 0:31:37.760
<v Speaker 1>We all are in on this. That hasn't gone well

0:31:37.840 --> 0:31:43.080
<v Speaker 1>for they have no first week we all we're all

0:31:43.120 --> 0:31:45.720
<v Speaker 1>in on every game, but then it kind of fell

0:31:45.760 --> 0:31:48.080
<v Speaker 1>apart of I pride myself on being the you know,

0:31:48.120 --> 0:31:52.160
<v Speaker 1>the realistic guy, and I've picked all wins this year. Yeah,

0:31:52.320 --> 0:31:54.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what's wrong with me. It Hasn't that

0:31:54.800 --> 0:31:58.040
<v Speaker 1>going to change? Is that going to be England? We'll see, Well,

0:31:58.120 --> 0:32:00.360
<v Speaker 1>we'll see how they play, like how they play, you know,

0:32:00.480 --> 0:32:03.000
<v Speaker 1>it's like a clean slate. I know it's not really,

0:32:03.040 --> 0:32:05.000
<v Speaker 1>but they've been they've been off, they played while their

0:32:05.040 --> 0:32:07.280
<v Speaker 1>last game. We'll see how they do here and that'll

0:32:07.320 --> 0:32:10.240
<v Speaker 1>influence how I feel about November, because the schedule looks

0:32:10.440 --> 0:32:13.280
<v Speaker 1>pretty scary. It does well thank you Amber for a
