Yes, that works, 0:01:35.880 --> 0:01:38.399 it works, Although I do I do think y'all favorite 0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:41.280 each other a little bit with the beer. Well. 0:01:41.319 --> 0:01:44.240 I had gone to a Dodger game with him over 0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:47.240 during training camp and it was the first time we 0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:49.040 were able to really meet, and it was like third 0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:52.000 inning and we were already like understanding why everyone was 0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:53.480 linking us together. I was like, you know what, I 0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:53.960 see it and. 0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:57.480 It's the first everything like it's it's everything, it really is. 0:01:57.640 --> 0:01:59.840 All right, let's let's jump in. I want to start 0:01:59.880 --> 0:02:02.800 for we were gonna get to the Bucks today and 0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:06.480 talk about their offense versus the Cowboys defense. But before 0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:09.120 we get there, I want to talk about DeMarcus Lawrence. 0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:13.040 I think we all thought that by maybe as early 0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:17.360 as last weekend, maybe at the latest this weekend, he 0:02:17.440 --> 0:02:20.960 would be playing again. And it doesn't seem like that's 0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:23.120 going to happen. What are you guys hearing about him? 0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:25.760 And at this point do you think there's a possibility 0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:26.880 he doesn't return this season? 0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:29.000 This is one of those Derek, I really just don't know. 0:02:29.720 --> 0:02:31.720 But he is running out of time, like you said, 0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:33.600 I mean, after this, he's not gonna go this week. 0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:35.840 Mike McCarthy already said it. He's not gonna even touch 0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:38.480 the practice field this week. So that really only leaves 0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:40.560 two more games where he could potentially return. I mean, 0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:42.560 it was a serious injury that he suffered back in 0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:46.359 Week four as a list frame injury. It wasn't as 0:02:46.400 --> 0:02:49.440 severe as what Jordan Lewis suffered back in twenty twenty two, 0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:53.560 but it is a similar injury and it takes a while. 0:02:53.720 --> 0:02:57.080 For it's basically when you know, i'd like the top 0:02:57.080 --> 0:02:59.600 of your foot where like your bones kind of web out. 0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:03.000 If you break like that, that knuckle bone on that web, 0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:05.920 that's that's the list Frank, And so it makes it 0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:08.919 really difficult to heal because you're basically healing like five 0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:12.160 many bones at once, especially given how like how much 0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:15.360 it spreads. So for in Jordan Lewis's case, it was 0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:18.560 really severe because it spread really really bad on that 0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:22.560 on that fracture, DeMarcus Lawrence isn't as bad, but it's 0:03:22.560 --> 0:03:24.360 still something that's going to take time to heal. But 0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:26.840 as far as timeline goes, I don't really know, because 0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:29.000 we were expecting, you know, out of Thanksgiving for him 0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:31.400 to potentially start getting back onto the practice field. There 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:33.480 were whispers of that Mike McCarthy had said and Stephen 0:03:33.560 --> 0:03:35.360 Jones had said it, and now all of a sudden, 0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:38.200 he's kind of just trending towards possibly not playing again 0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:38.600 this year. 0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:43.040 I don't want to speculate, but I mean I've tried 0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:45.800 to reach out and ask and see hopefully we'll get 0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:50.400 an answer on that, because I know, walking to our 0:03:50.760 --> 0:03:53.840 responsibilities here, I've seen him on the field, just walking. 0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:54.520 I mean I just walked. 0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:56.160 I just looked out and I recognize him, and he's 0:03:56.160 --> 0:03:58.600 working with Britt Brown and he's cutting and he's moving 0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:01.120 and he's and I'm kind of in my mind, I'm like, Okay, 0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:03.280 this is encouraging him and brit are out there working 0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:06.560 really really hard to get back, and you know, you saw, like, 0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:09.760 you know, the explosiveness to get off the plant to 0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:13.200 turn and I'm like, oh, okay, there must have been 0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:14.040 a setback here. 0:04:14.400 --> 0:04:15.560 There must have been something that. 0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:19.160 Happened, because it to me that it just looked so positive, 0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:22.479 you know, And that's just me like my days of 0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:25.760 watching practice and watching guys work out and thinking like, oh, 0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:28.400 that guy doesn't look ready, you know, he's still kind 0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:31.200 of limping around, or but man, it was it was 0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:33.800 really really kind of encouraging, and I just worry that 0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:36.880 maybe something happened that they were going to workout one 0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:38.320 day and then you know. 0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:39.560 And it and it does happen. 0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:42.200 I mean, they they they work hard, and then all 0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:44.680 of a sudden, you know, it's that day is not 0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:47.680 very good. And so I'm I'm just trying to find 0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:50.000 that out and hopefully today, by the time we end 0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:52.360 this thing, I'll figure that out for you. Because I 0:04:52.640 --> 0:04:55.880 didn't I I meant to do that. I meant to 0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:58.320 ask and I haven't asked. A couple of people that 0:04:58.360 --> 0:04:59.640 I know can maybe help me on that. 0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:02.880 For everybody, do not google image list frank injuries. These 0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:06.000 are disgusting. Sorry, I just wanted to make sure that 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:08.880 no one else googles what I'm googling right now. It's terrifying. 0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:10.880 I will not be going. 0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:14.960 But I think it's one of those things that, yeah, 0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:17.679 you can always speculate a timeline. 0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:19.400 In anything that you go through, and. 0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:23.080 Then as you start approaching that timeline, it may not 0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:25.520 look like you're actually ready for it. When you talk 0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:30.400 about things like that, it's it. No one can accelerate 0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:34.560 certain things in your body to fully heal. And like 0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:37.720 you said, Brian, I have watched him training out there 0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:40.760 with Britt Brown and everything. He's doing what he's supposed 0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:44.720 to do. He's showing up to do the rehab necessary 0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:47.839 and everything. So maybe there was something like you mentioned 0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:51.440 that happened and occurred there. But it is very concerning 0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:56.200 because we're not it's trending towards us not being able 0:05:56.240 --> 0:05:59.640 to take another look at him before the season ends. 0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:08.640 I mean, are still three love that's crazy, But he's 0:06:08.760 --> 0:06:12.320 about to become a free agent. And again, when you 0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:15.640 start seeing other guys that have been showing up during 0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:21.080 these games, it makes you wonder, way is he does 0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:24.160 he have a future here with the Cowboys. I don't know, 0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:27.600 And it's crazy to think because I remember when we 0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:33.280 had the press conference announcing his big contract with the Cowboys. 0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:35.120 And time just flies by. 0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:42.200 It's insane. But yeah, that's another big name heading to 0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:43.000 free agency. 0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:44.720 Well, you know when you when you mentioned it from 0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:46.960 that perspective, I actually look at it. I'm like, if 0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:50.560 if the Cowboys were in a position where the playoffs 0:06:50.920 --> 0:06:53.800 were more realistic, because obviously they still have a one 0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:56.800 percent chance, so there's still a chance, but if it 0:06:56.839 --> 0:06:59.480 were more realistic, if it were more realistic, I would 0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:01.440 probably be like, Okay, got to get him back. You 0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:03.840 got to get Hi back as quickly as possible, because 0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:07.640 it's not as realistic now people like Kneeland. I kind 0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:08.800 of want to see a little bit more of them. 0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:10.760 I want to have an opportunity to see more of them. 0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:12.520 I know what Marcter. 0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:18.680 Questions, yesterday, here. 0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:18.720 We go, it's yesterday. 0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:23.600 Is you know we've seen all we need to see. 0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:26.880 There's nothing he's going to do in three games that's 0:07:26.920 --> 0:07:29.880 going to change an opinion in this building about who 0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:33.320 he is, what he represents, or whether there should be 0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:36.000 a new deal. Those things have already been at least 0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:38.960 what you've seen, that part has already been decided. They'll 0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:40.720 ultimately have to make a decision on what the money 0:07:40.760 --> 0:07:42.520 looks like. How much they want to have him back, 0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:44.920 what else they think they have at the position. All 0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:46.880 those things will factor in, but none of that will 0:07:46.880 --> 0:07:48.720 be about his play. So at this point, you know, 0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:50.400 whether he comes back or not, I don't know if 0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:53.720 it hurts him, helps him, hurts the Cowboys, helps the Cowboys. 0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:55.720 I just think at this point whatever is best for 0:07:55.800 --> 0:07:57.480 him just is the right thing to do. 0:07:57.760 --> 0:08:00.840 I mean, if you're looking at it from this isn't 0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:05.080 really a bright side just because like a DeMarcus Lawrence 0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:08.080 loses out in this scenario. But by him not playing 0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:10.360 these final fourteen weeks, his price is going to be 0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:13.400 a little bit lower going into going into free agencies. 0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:15.000 So you know, if you're looking at it from front 0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:17.760 office perspective, maybe that opens the door for the potentiality 0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:18.320 of a return. 0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:20.360 But but you don't think other teams are kind of 0:08:20.400 --> 0:08:23.120 like we know who he is, or do you think 0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:25.560 that they would know who he seared off? 0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:26.720 They would be. 0:08:26.680 --> 0:08:29.840 Geared off by the injury itself and him not coming back. 0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:30.440 Is that what you're saying. 0:08:30.640 --> 0:08:33.400 Yeah, I'm just saying, especially at that age, an injury 0:08:33.440 --> 0:08:35.160 like that, I'm sure it could give some teams some 0:08:35.200 --> 0:08:37.480 pause and potentially could lower his market value, but I 0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:38.640 think still at the end of the day, this is 0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:40.559 going to be a contract that the Cowboys can't afford. See, 0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:42.160 I will think that they knew that, and that's why 0:08:42.160 --> 0:08:44.679 that they drafted Marshawn neland last year in the second round, I. 0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:47.600 Kind of wanted to in my mind, I was putting 0:08:47.640 --> 0:08:49.920 him in the same category as Tyrone Smith. 0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:51.600 But that's not accurate. 0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:56.000 That's not accurate because he's had years where he's played sixteen, 0:08:56.360 --> 0:08:59.720 sixteen of sixteen, sixteen of fifteen of sixteen, sixteen of 0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:02.720 six ten, fifteen of sixteen, Yeah, the one year. 0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:07.680 He's maybe these he also right, Basically he's played a 0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:09.200 lot a lot of time. 0:09:09.320 --> 0:09:10.280 Yeah, I played a lot of games. 0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:12.880 Yeah, but then you have games where he's played then 0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:15.320 like in twenty twenty one it was seven of seven, 0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:18.400 and then it was seventeen of seventeen, seventeen of seventeen, 0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:21.480 four of four, yeah, you know, and then so it's 0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:25.080 not like if you're thinking of like Tyron Smith, because 0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:27.240 in the past we've always thought about, oh, yeah, it'd 0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:29.120 be great to have Tyron you know, Tyron Smith, but 0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:32.120 he's always hurt and I can't put Tank in that 0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:35.440 category because when he's been healthy, he's been able to 0:09:35.440 --> 0:09:38.800 line up and play. That's that you can't say, well, 0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:42.280 he's he's had a Tyron Smith like career because of injuries. 0:09:42.640 --> 0:09:46.720 He's only had two seasons where well, really twenty sixteen 0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:50.080 was you know, a season he lost, but he's he's 0:09:50.120 --> 0:09:52.439 been relatively healthy for you throughout well. 0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:55.599 I think the other part to that too is specifically 0:09:55.360 --> 0:09:57.200 really you know, talking about Tyron Smith. I think it 0:09:57.240 --> 0:10:00.560 was clear watching him play this year at the made 0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:03.559 the right decision. I still think Tank has a lot 0:10:03.600 --> 0:10:05.400 more football in him. I don't think he's at the 0:10:05.480 --> 0:10:07.880 end of his career just yet. This reminds me more 0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:11.120 of DeMarcus Ware when DeMarcus Ware left and a team 0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:12.600 that knows how to use him. I don't know that 0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:14.440 he should be a guy you bring in to be 0:10:14.920 --> 0:10:17.760 your every down player, but as a rotational guy that 0:10:17.760 --> 0:10:19.360 can get some pass rush, that can help in the 0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:21.520 run against the run, I think he is still a 0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:24.640 very valuable commodity for teams, and so from that standpoint, 0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:26.280 I think he still has more left to tame. 0:10:26.360 --> 0:10:28.600 I agree with I totally agree with Nick. I think 0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:32.200 they drafted Neilan to be the guy. I think that's 0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:33.640 that's where they were going with that. 0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:36.000 All right, we're going to take our first break when 0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:38.400 we come back.

It is time to meet the Bucks. 0:13:46.440 --> 0:13:48.400 So here's what we know about them. They are coached 0:13:48.400 --> 0:13:51.559 by Todd Bowles, who actually, ironically for those that were 0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:54.680 around or remember, he was a former defense back coach 0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:56.520 with the with the Cowboys back and try. 0:13:56.360 --> 0:13:57.120 To get me fired. 0:13:58.000 --> 0:13:59.240 I was actually gonna ask you, do you have any 0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:00.640 you got any interest Todd Bowles. 0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:04.320 Yeah, he was a scout with the Packers. Oh yeah, 0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:07.160 Todd Bowles was a player at the with the Washington 0:14:07.200 --> 0:14:10.240 Commanders and he had a he had a health club 0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:13.520 in Alexandria, Virginia, which was very, very very successful. I 0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:15.320 mean he that was his first business when he was 0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:18.520 a player. After he was playing, and we had the 0:14:18.520 --> 0:14:21.240 bright idea to hire him as a scout after when 0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:24.360 we were in Green Bay and he was running that 0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:27.760 health club and not really scouting, you know, and Ron Wolf, 0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:29.600 my boss at the time, said, listen, you can't get 0:14:29.600 --> 0:14:35.920 that guy to scout, you're fired and yeah, and I 0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:39.520 and I'm like, uh, you know, I'm just not you know, 0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:42.640 I'm sitting there kind of like okay. So I'm talking 0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:46.360 to him, and I'm honestly I'm pleading with him. I'm like, Todd, seriously, 0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:48.240 you got to turn in reports, you got to go 0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:48.880 to this school. 0:14:49.400 --> 0:14:51.400 They're going to fire you and me both if you 0:14:51.440 --> 0:14:52.000 don't do it. 0:14:52.000 --> 0:14:52.800 It's not just about you. 0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:56.480 And Todd's got the most laid back personality ever. 0:14:57.000 --> 0:14:59.920 Okay, man, all right, I'm like, no, you don't know. 0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:03.800 Stand we're gonna get fired. You and I on the street, 0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:06.000 and you know, he's probably thinking, I'm going back to 0:15:06.040 --> 0:15:06.680 the health club. 0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:09.280 Me, I'm a young guy, Like what am I gonna do? 0:15:11.000 --> 0:15:11.200 Yeah? 0:15:11.400 --> 0:15:13.200 I made money ball, I got this. 0:15:14.480 --> 0:15:18.400 He hit a couple of schools and you know, and and. 0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:22.000 You know, and he went he he he went from 0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:25.920 scouting to getting into coaching. It literally drove him into 0:15:25.960 --> 0:15:29.520 another avenue of and then he becomes and then he 0:15:29.560 --> 0:15:33.400 becomes a head coach. And I'm like, this guy, what 0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:34.120 the health club? 0:15:35.440 --> 0:15:37.000 But that's that's the Todd ball. 0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:39.520 I mean literally, he went from being like working with 0:15:39.600 --> 0:15:41.240 us as a scout in Green Bay. 0:15:41.160 --> 0:15:44.400 And I mean it was he just his his demeanor 0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:46.680 is just that of it's it's you see him on 0:15:46.720 --> 0:15:50.200 the sideline. Oh, he's very very nothing bothers him. He's 0:15:50.240 --> 0:15:52.760 just very Okay, man, it's cool. We'll get it done. 0:15:52.760 --> 0:15:54.600 Don't worry about it, you know. I'm like, no, no, 0:15:54.680 --> 0:15:57.880 you don't understand. We have to turn in reports. 0:15:57.960 --> 0:16:00.440 You have to go to Virginia Tech, you have to 0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:03.640 go to Penn State, you have to go to these schools. 0:16:04.480 --> 0:16:07.200 We need those reports. All right, man, don't worry about it. 0:16:07.240 --> 0:16:09.840 We'll get it done. I'm like, Okay, then he get done. 0:16:11.640 --> 0:16:14.120 Rock kept his job for another couple of years. 0:16:14.280 --> 0:16:15.960 Yeah, it was like we had to. 0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:20.680 We scrambled, you know, we scrambled. I was pretty close 0:16:20.760 --> 0:16:23.600 to flying to Virginia. And this is really before you 0:16:23.720 --> 0:16:26.520 had like you know, you had the way to communicate 0:16:26.560 --> 0:16:28.720 today with the cell phones and stuff like that. I mean, 0:16:28.760 --> 0:16:31.360 you really couldn't find your scouts all that well. And 0:16:32.040 --> 0:16:34.440 I almost went to some schools that he was supposed 0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:36.200 to be at just to make sure he was there. 0:16:36.760 --> 0:16:39.680 I almost got on a plane and flew to that 0:16:39.840 --> 0:16:42.120 the Atlantic coast area, and. 0:16:42.240 --> 0:16:44.120 Just to see if he was scouting the schools, just 0:16:44.160 --> 0:16:46.640 to walk him to the schools. Hey, man, this is 0:16:46.680 --> 0:16:48.720 North Carolina. Beautiful place, isn't it. 0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:51.400 Oh, this is Duke. They're really smart here. Hey we 0:16:51.400 --> 0:16:54.600 can go here and watch Tate and write reports, you know. 0:16:54.760 --> 0:16:57.800 And I didn't have to do that, but man, that 0:16:58.000 --> 0:16:59.120 was it was a nightmare. 0:16:59.240 --> 0:17:02.440 Maybe what he figured is gouting aim for me coaching 0:17:02.520 --> 0:17:02.880 I can do. 0:17:03.080 --> 0:17:05.880 He did, and he and Parcells took a liking to him. 0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:06.400 Yeah he did. 0:17:06.680 --> 0:17:09.560 And that's and that's how Todd Bowles got to where 0:17:09.600 --> 0:17:10.479 Todd Bowles is. 0:17:10.640 --> 0:17:11.560 He's a good guy too. 0:17:11.680 --> 0:17:15.400 He's a really good guy. If you just like being like, man, 0:17:15.440 --> 0:17:16.320 don't worry about it. 0:17:16.680 --> 0:17:17.560 He's very chill. 0:17:17.560 --> 0:17:19.560 He's very chill. He's good. We're good here. Why why 0:17:19.560 --> 0:17:22.080 he's so upset? And I'm like, because we're going to 0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:25.159 lose our jobs. That's why I'm upset. I can't afford 0:17:25.200 --> 0:17:27.920 to lose his job. And he goes, Okay, we'll get 0:17:27.920 --> 0:17:28.280 it done. 0:17:28.600 --> 0:17:31.119 Ryan hare on fire. Todd just like if I ran. 0:17:31.200 --> 0:17:33.560 Him right now, he would be he wouldn't remember anything 0:17:33.600 --> 0:17:35.359 I just said. I mean, he would be like you 0:17:36.160 --> 0:17:38.520 I did that? Yeah, you know, but he here, he 0:17:38.600 --> 0:17:42.640 is his coach, man, defensive coordinator, all that stuff. I mean, 0:17:42.680 --> 0:17:46.720 but Bill Parcells. Everybody in life needs a sponsor. Bill 0:17:46.760 --> 0:17:49.560 Parcells was his sponsor. I got him a gig and 0:17:49.600 --> 0:17:50.640 into coaching. 0:17:50.520 --> 0:17:53.000 No doubt, and he has led this team now to 0:17:53.040 --> 0:17:54.840 an eight and six record. They are right now first 0:17:54.880 --> 0:17:59.120 place in the NFC South. After losing some some parts 0:17:59.160 --> 0:18:01.080 as the season is gone along, they've kind of been 0:18:01.119 --> 0:18:03.359 able to keep it together. They are currently on a 0:18:03.400 --> 0:18:05.919 four game win streak. I mean they won at the 0:18:06.000 --> 0:18:08.800 Chargers last week, put up forty points against them, beat 0:18:08.880 --> 0:18:12.040 Las Vegas the week before that, and beat a Carolina 0:18:12.080 --> 0:18:15.080 team the week before that in overtime, and then beat 0:18:15.320 --> 0:18:16.960
