Here's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:05.720 --> 0:00:15.760 and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. Cowboys flowing out of 0:00:15.800 --> 0:00:20.840 the backfield. They flowing down the sidelines. He's hanging with 0:00:20.880 --> 0:00:26.200 the boys, presented by Windstuff where flavor gets its wings. Now, 0:00:26.480 --> 0:00:35.120 your hosts, Jesse Holly, Kurt Daniels, and Nate Newton, Welcome back. 0:00:35.159 --> 0:00:38.920 It is Tuesday. It feels like a while away, or 0:00:39.720 --> 0:00:42.920 just say it's been a long time. The game wasn't Sunday, 0:00:43.000 --> 0:00:47.239 wasn't Saturday, wasn't Monday last Thursday, So it feels like 0:00:47.280 --> 0:00:50.519 we've been kind of whatever. But that's a live look 0:00:50.520 --> 0:00:53.479 at the Tostito Championship Plaza outside in front of the 0:00:53.479 --> 0:00:57.279 Ford Center were currently it is sixty seven degrees Hi 0:00:57.400 --> 0:01:00.560 today will be sixty eight degrees. The Texas whether acting 0:01:01.080 --> 0:01:06.480 the way it's supposed to. Welcome back, gentlemen, Happy New Year, 0:01:07.080 --> 0:01:11.880 Happy twenty twenty three to you. Nate. You know what, man, 0:01:12.240 --> 0:01:14.760 I'm gonna be courteous to say, happened new year, Thank 0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:16.760 you folks. But I had a little trouble with my 0:01:16.840 --> 0:01:19.600 iPad and Chris was happening me and man who was 0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:22.880 having a conversation and Jesse gave me the Uncle Nate 0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:26.800 look once again. Yeah, I was a show. We were 0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:28.959 gonna make it on the show. They either where you 0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:32.319 over there struggling with that? But so okay, Jesse, I thought, 0:01:33.360 --> 0:01:35.800 But some minute giving me a cake and the next 0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:39.160 minute's stabbing with an eight inch blade. This segment, it 0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:42.880 is born to you by wingstop where flavor gets its wings. 0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:50.360 All right, So if you live on planet Earth and 0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:56.160 you have any connection to anything, then you heard about 0:01:56.160 --> 0:02:01.800 what happened last night, and you know it's it's when 0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:05.000 you sit this runsheet in. I was trying to figure 0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:07.360 out where's okay, Like, how do we approach this? And 0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:10.840 there is no way to truly approach it. And what 0:02:10.960 --> 0:02:13.560 we saw last night in the Monday night football matchup 0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:18.040 between the Buffalo Bills and the Cincinnati Bengals. For most, 0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:20.200 for all of us who have watched football, who've been 0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:24.000 a part of football, like Nate and I myself, it 0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:26.920 seemed to be a routine play. It seemed to be 0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:29.680 a routine catch. Receiver turned up the field, he becomes 0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:33.400 to make the tackle on the routine play. But in 0:02:33.480 --> 0:02:36.440 that moment, there wasn't a routine result where the guy 0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:39.240 gets up, they jaw, they go back and forth, they 0:02:39.240 --> 0:02:42.200 go back to the huddle, they play another down on 0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:48.160 this particular play, Um, Damar Hamilton, Hamil, excuse me, Damar Hamlin. 0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:54.720 After he makes the tackle, he shoots up and then 0:02:54.720 --> 0:03:01.120 he passes out. And been around football my whole life, 0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:07.000 never seen a situation like this before to where CPR 0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:13.280 had to be administered on the football field. And as 0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:18.320 you're watching the broadcast, you see visibly hurt players, emotionally 0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:22.600 disturbed players. There are tears, There are their look of 0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:26.560 shock of what is happening on the football field, to 0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:30.000 their teammate, to their to their fraternity brother that we 0:03:30.080 --> 0:03:33.760 have in this this national football league. And you know, 0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:39.360 it's a it's a sudden reminder that while we see 0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:45.280 her super heroic things be done on the football field, 0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:48.280 while we see these men that are able to bounce 0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:51.840 back from injuries that will put the common man in 0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:55.160 the hospital, while we see and you have terms of 0:03:55.640 --> 0:03:58.640 you know, warrior and soldier and all those type of 0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:04.720 things uh to describe football players. Football environment last night 0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:09.640 was a very clear indication that we are merely men. 0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:15.360 We are merely men. We're not machines. We're not superhuman, 0:04:16.120 --> 0:04:22.560 We're not superheroes. And as I'm watching this thing unfold, 0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:30.200 I am I'm emotional because I've never seen anything like 0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:37.120 this before. And then you realize, you realize from the 0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:43.320 gate that football is not important, that football is a 0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:47.040 child's game, that we as grown ups get an opportunity 0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:51.719 to play, and you, as adult fans, get a chance 0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:56.640 to watch. But it's just a game. And last night 0:04:58.120 --> 0:05:00.719 and still today, that there is a man who who 0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:07.280 whose life is lingering from a child's game. And I 0:05:07.320 --> 0:05:10.159 even thought the NFL last night went it too long 0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:13.440 to to cancel the game. But I get it, I 0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:15.720 understand it. A lot of stuff happening. This is there 0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:20.000 is no there is no playbook for this. And you know, 0:05:20.080 --> 0:05:22.800 I wanted to give us an opportunity to get our 0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:27.200 thoughts out, thoughts and prayers to the Hamlin family. Um, 0:05:28.279 --> 0:05:30.920 even even though it was an away game. His mom 0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:34.159 was in attendance last night, His family was in attendance 0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:36.080 last night. There's a video that shows him running to 0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:40.280 the sideline to showing love to his family before the game. UM, 0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:43.919 and I don't think there was ever a shadow of 0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:46.560 a doubt that in this moment, in this game tonight 0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:50.360 that they would find their loved one fighting for his 0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:55.000 life um on the football field. You know, Kurt, is 0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:58.520 there anything that you when did you feel in that moment? 0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:00.520 I wasn't watching it at the time, and so I 0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:02.599 was starting to get you know, I was checking account 0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:06.160 later and starting getting where I actually had friend call us. 0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:08.360 I was like, what happened? You know, what's happening? So 0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:10.880 then I went back and check. So it's scary, and 0:06:10.920 --> 0:06:14.440 it's even more so I would think as players, you know, 0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:17.000 you've been there and you've seen guys. I mean earlier 0:06:17.000 --> 0:06:19.760 that day Josh Sweat had been carted off the field, 0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:22.000 and or the day before to car taking to a 0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:25.000 hospital and you see Twa and his problems in Miami. 0:06:25.040 --> 0:06:27.320 I mean, it's a dangerous sport that we often forget 0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:31.320 because we had drived such pleasure and enjoy of watching you, 0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:34.520 you know, football players perform. But yeah, that was It's 0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:37.240 a stark reality. Like you said that, in the end, 0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:41.119 it's it's a game, and it's just ordinary men playing 0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:43.800 a game in some way in aspects, and so it's 0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:48.000 it's kind of a reality check of what players and 0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:50.599 what you guys you two faced when you were playing 0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:55.000 us tough. Uh. I'm not going to be long on 0:06:55.080 --> 0:06:57.719 this fella. So when I first saw it as wow, 0:06:57.960 --> 0:07:00.000 you know, I thought like, I'm like you jazz routine 0:07:00.000 --> 0:07:03.400 and he would get up. He didn't get up. First 0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:05.720 of all, I feel a little bit different. I think 0:07:05.760 --> 0:07:09.359 the NFL handled it excellent. I think the way the 0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:12.040 broadcast team and everybody did, I think they handled it 0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:15.720 excellent for what, like you said, no book has been written, 0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:19.800 so they handled it excellent. When I saw it, and 0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:22.920 then I realized the impact of it. Then I thought 0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:26.000 like wow, And I told my wife, I got a 0:07:26.120 --> 0:07:29.480 kid that stopped because of concussion. My other baby boy, 0:07:29.560 --> 0:07:33.080 he played, he made it through, and I prayed for him. 0:07:33.440 --> 0:07:35.480 I prayed for us family. Asked my my wife do 0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:40.280 the same. I asked that everybody pray for this situation. 0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:43.840 And then I turned the TV off and I went 0:07:43.880 --> 0:07:47.200 to bed because this in God's hand. So that's just 0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:50.760 my point of view. Yeah. No, And then and you're right, 0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:55.920 and shout out to that um. That broadcasting cruise was 0:07:55.960 --> 0:07:59.880 Troy U and Joe Buck we're calling the game. And 0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:02.600 then back in the studio, you had Susie Colbert, you 0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:05.960 had Adam Schefter and Booger McFarland. You had least assaulters 0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:10.120 as a sideline reporter, and you could see and hear 0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:12.560 on their You can see on their faces and you 0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:17.360 can hear their voices, the concern, the the the heartfelt 0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:21.280 emotion that went into trying to report. I've never I've 0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:23.200 never watched an NFL game where they went to four 0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:26.280 commercial breaks like it was to that point where they 0:08:26.280 --> 0:08:29.880 couldn't even didn't even want And I applaud ESPN four 0:08:29.960 --> 0:08:33.040 that for not even wanting to show it. Yeah, or 0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:35.640 you know, because again there's Femily members back home, and 0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:38.120 when you don't have an opportunity to know what's happening, 0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:41.280 you know, you don't want things to be speculated, uh, 0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:44.920 and you don't want your fear and your worry to 0:08:44.920 --> 0:08:48.600 to to go to get become greater when you're watching 0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:50.760 the players on the football field, and then those players 0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:53.480 deserved that little bit of privacy. Wise, they're having that 0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:58.280 moment of of of vulnerability again because you see these guys. 0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:00.400 You know, Josh Allen can throw the ball mile and 0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:03.040 tefon days can run the best routes, and these guys 0:09:03.040 --> 0:09:06.079 are on the field crying. Yeah, they're they're they're visibly 0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:11.360 visibly hurt at what they're seeing and understand. You know, 0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:14.680 when you talk about the two situations, and even a 0:09:14.800 --> 0:09:16.880 situation like a couple of years ago, what Ryan Shay's here, 0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:19.560 who happened on that same football field. You know, at 0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:24.000 times when someone gets up or even when they're carted off, 0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:26.760 you kind of get the thumbs up, you know, to 0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:29.360 kind of ease you a little bit, or you know, 0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:32.800 you get report that they're awake, that they're breathing. But 0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:37.880 when you have a situation like this where to be frank, 0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:42.160 if CPR is being a minister, that means that person 0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:45.800 is not breathing, that means that person is not with us. 0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:50.280 They're they're they're not. It's it's far greater than looking 0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:53.360 for thumbs up. And this is this was going on 0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:57.240 for a while. This was going on for minutes, which 0:09:57.280 --> 0:10:02.520 probably seemed like hours to those who were involved. You know, 0:10:02.640 --> 0:10:04.720 for for the businesses that I'm in, we have to 0:10:04.760 --> 0:10:07.160 go and do a CPR training and get our you know, 0:10:07.280 --> 0:10:09.600 our our things renewed year year in and year out, 0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:12.640 and to understand what it means to have to sit 0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:18.679 there and to press down continuously on someone's chest for minutes. 0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:22.640 That that is that is one's exhausting too. That tells 0:10:22.640 --> 0:10:24.720 you the type of shape that he was in in 0:10:24.760 --> 0:10:30.520 that particular moment um. And and to Nate's point, you know, 0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:33.560 all we can do now is pray to whatever God 0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:38.679 that you believe in, um to to give positive energy 0:10:38.679 --> 0:10:41.480 and thoughts and prayers to his family, uh to him. 0:10:41.480 --> 0:10:43.200 I know some of his teammates have been there, but 0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:48.960 this is a situation where it's tough, it's unprecedented, um, 0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:50.920 but it is a it is a it is a 0:10:51.000 --> 0:10:55.440 stark reminder that these men that step on that field 0:10:55.480 --> 0:10:59.760 each and every week are merely men. Yeah, that's it. 0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:04.400 Does this or does it? I mean, obviously his teammates 0:11:04.400 --> 0:11:07.120 are in a bad place today. They're in a trouble 0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:09.880 because they've got to come back and they're gonna have 0:11:09.920 --> 0:11:12.640 to play with not knowing their team, but even our team, 0:11:12.679 --> 0:11:15.040 I mean the players around the league. Does this affect 0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:17.720 him like, you know, I have to go out there 0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:21.960 and do this? Yeah? Um, I mean I promise you, 0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:24.080 like when you put on your uniform, you strap on 0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:26.840 your helmet, your your thought process isn't going out there 0:11:26.880 --> 0:11:30.400 of hey today, I'm gonna today, this is gonna happen. 0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:33.000 You know, trust me. You know when Dak hurt his 0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:35.520 broke his ankle, that he didn't have that in mind 0:11:35.520 --> 0:11:37.200 when he put on his helmet that day. You know, 0:11:37.240 --> 0:11:39.400 I was I was a part of when DeMarcus Ware 0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:41.440 was carted off and we thought he had a serious 0:11:41.480 --> 0:11:43.679 neck injury. It was in New Orleans. No, No, it 0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:46.320 was before New Orleans a few years back, and that 0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:48.440 was just a scary situation. He see his wife and 0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:50.720 his children come out the stands crying, you know, and 0:11:50.760 --> 0:11:53.400 getting on the ambulance with him to drive to the hospital. 0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:57.160 So as a player, whether you're on that team or not, 0:11:57.520 --> 0:12:03.640 it again, it gives you that reminder that tomorrow's not promised. 0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:06.559 Like this is a violent game. This is a dangerous game, 0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:11.440 and every single play that you go out there, you 0:12:11.480 --> 0:12:14.920 don't know the outcome of it, because I mean we've 0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:18.800 seen that play happened a gazillion times and it just 0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:23.920 so happened on that particularly one.

Welcome back to Hanging 0:16:32.320 --> 0:16:36.040 with the Boys. The Cowboys, what seemed like a month ago, 0:16:36.160 --> 0:16:39.600 defeated who did they play? Forgot the Philadelphia Eagles. Who 0:16:39.600 --> 0:16:42.160 did they play? Tennessee Titans. Tennessee Titans. I forgot. I 0:16:42.360 --> 0:16:49.280 forgot they defeated the Tennessee time on Thursday Night Football. 0:16:49.320 --> 0:16:52.160 Because all the time has been about the Philadelphia Eagles. 0:16:52.640 --> 0:16:56.360 It was twenty seven, I did. I didn't remember that. 0:16:56.400 --> 0:16:58.600 I was gonna say that next twenty seven thirteen. The 0:16:58.680 --> 0:17:03.000 Cowboys the Tennessee Titans and now have set themselves up 0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:07.480 for a wild scenario. Yeah, and Kurt, I want you 0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:09.800 to break this down because you sent it, and how 0:17:09.840 --> 0:17:12.560 it all can kind of play out for the Cowboys 0:17:12.680 --> 0:17:16.240 Right now, they're the fifth seed. Correct, If they win 0:17:17.119 --> 0:17:21.720 and Philly loses and the forty nine Ers lose, then 0:17:21.760 --> 0:17:23.960 they would be the first seed and get the first round, 0:17:24.000 --> 0:17:26.520 by okay, it's my understanding, and then they'll have their 0:17:26.560 --> 0:17:28.520 first home game against the Green Bay Packers after the 0:17:28.560 --> 0:17:31.159 buy well correct, now they would have to buy, and 0:17:31.200 --> 0:17:34.880 then they'd play the lowest seed after them if they 0:17:35.000 --> 0:17:39.000 don't or if if San Francisco would win, then and 0:17:39.119 --> 0:17:43.040 they they're playing like Arizona or something. But then the 0:17:43.040 --> 0:17:45.280 Cowboys would have the number two seed and then they 0:17:45.280 --> 0:17:51.000 would play the either Packers the seventh seed, um the 0:17:51.119 --> 0:17:57.000 Lions or Seattle. So that's all all up in the air. 0:17:57.480 --> 0:17:59.280 And if they lose, they stay at the fifth seed, 0:17:59.480 --> 0:18:02.159 and if they lose, there the fifth seed, and they 0:18:02.160 --> 0:18:06.280 would open up at the second seed, which um. At 0:18:06.280 --> 0:18:09.680 that point, I guess it would still be simple to put. 0:18:10.320 --> 0:18:15.240 If Philly win, Philly win and the forty nine ers lose, 0:18:17.160 --> 0:18:20.120 then we uh, we gotta shout at the second seed. Yes, 0:18:21.000 --> 0:18:24.160 you know. If Philly wins, they have the number one yea, yeah, 0:18:24.240 --> 0:18:26.200 we have no, we're five, we're locked in at five. 0:18:26.800 --> 0:18:29.680 So both of them lose, we gotta shot at the 0:18:29.720 --> 0:18:33.359 second seed. I'm sorry if both if either one number one. 0:18:33.840 --> 0:18:37.800 If if Philly loses and forty nine Ers win, then 0:18:37.800 --> 0:18:41.720 we would have the second seed. Okay, we'll forget it, 0:18:40.520 --> 0:18:44.919 but we're number one. Yeah. This segment is brought to 0:18:44.960 --> 0:18:48.879 you by Blockchain Blockchain dot Com Walter Payton Man of 0:18:48.920 --> 0:18:52.680 the Year Ward dot Proscotta. This year is Cowboys not Either. 0:18:52.720 --> 0:18:55.120 Twenty twenty two Walter Payton NIFL Man of the Year Ward, 0:18:55.240 --> 0:18:58.640 presented by Nationwide recognize the NFL for the outstanding community 0:18:58.640 --> 0:19:01.520 service off the field an excellence on the field. Help 0:19:01.600 --> 0:19:04.359 That's Prescott earned the twenty five donation to his faith 0:19:04.560 --> 0:19:10.440 Fight Finished Foundation by voting on Twitter, tweet or retweet 0:19:10.480 --> 0:19:14.639 the hashtag w P m O Y challenge followed by 0:19:14.720 --> 0:19:18.600 Dak Prescott through January eighth, vote Dak. And after the 0:19:18.640 --> 0:19:21.879 fifth seed they play the Buccaneers at Tampa Bay, so 0:19:21.920 --> 0:19:25.679 you could the potential is there to face Tom Brady 0:19:25.680 --> 0:19:28.240 in the first round or Aaron Rodgers in the first round. 0:19:29.240 --> 0:19:31.800 I don't know if Jerry was asked about this this 0:19:31.840 --> 0:19:35.800 morning on the flagship station and they basically said, Hey, Jerry, 0:19:35.840 --> 0:19:37.960 do you want to go on the road as the 0:19:38.080 --> 0:19:41.760 fifth seed and take on Tom Brady, who you've never 0:19:41.840 --> 0:19:46.240 beat in Tom Brady's illustrious career. Or do you want 0:19:46.280 --> 0:19:49.280 to have a home game which would include you now 0:19:49.359 --> 0:19:52.480 having to play your arch and nemesis and the boogeyman 0:19:53.000 --> 0:19:56.040 Aaron Rodgers. What do you think, Jerry Jones said, Nate, 0:19:56.280 --> 0:19:59.600 you want to be home? What do you think? Howard 0:19:59.640 --> 0:20:05.160 as soon? So? But to be home? You know, once 0:20:05.200 --> 0:20:08.119 again you call yourself laughing and uncle Nate. But that 0:20:08.240 --> 0:20:10.280 was just a setup to let you know it still 0:20:10.280 --> 0:20:17.600 ain't bad. But the coach of the Catamanders did, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:20:17.800 --> 0:20:20.359 he didn't realize and they rolled this man. And I'm like, 0:20:20.400 --> 0:20:22.360 this man got bigger things in his mind right now, 0:20:22.400 --> 0:20:24.400 and I guess that it would be worried about that, 0:20:24.440 --> 0:20:27.080 but hey, what bigger things in your mind and you 0:20:27.119 --> 0:20:29.719 haven't particially be eliminated out of the playoffs. Yeah, just 0:20:29.760 --> 0:20:33.560 bigger things, man. I mean, this dude living a charmed life. 0:20:33.600 --> 0:20:38.200 Why they started wins? Yes? Why they yeah? Yeah, well, hey, 0:20:38.440 --> 0:20:40.919 start WinCE again this week. Please do us a favor 0:20:41.320 --> 0:20:43.120 and start WinCE again this week so you can give 0:20:43.200 --> 0:20:46.639 us three. They asked him if they were going to 0:20:46.680 --> 0:20:49.440 start the third stringer this week. I know. That's my god. 0:20:49.600 --> 0:20:51.200 That's why he was like, why would I why would 0:20:51.240 --> 0:20:52.960 we do that? I mean why He's like, Well, because 0:20:53.640 --> 0:20:55.359 of Green Bay wins. He's like, we'll be out of 0:20:55.359 --> 0:21:01.159 the playoffs seven years? Did I defend Carson? How many years? 0:21:01.200 --> 0:21:05.360 For three straight years? Give this kid a chance? Now 0:21:05.400 --> 0:21:09.520 he's had mostable chances and man coach, probably all the 0:21:09.520 --> 0:21:13.760 ones that we give. So here comes So here comes 0:21:13.800 --> 0:21:18.400 the conversation out right there is there's there's two conversations 0:21:18.400 --> 0:21:23.600 to be had. But the Cowboys winning last week and 0:21:23.640 --> 0:21:29.520 the Jalen Hursts less Philadelphia Eagles losing last week, the 0:21:29.680 --> 0:21:33.439 Cowboys have kind of put some pressure back on the 0:21:33.480 --> 0:21:35.840 Philadelphia Eagles. Now you have to go out there and win. 0:21:35.920 --> 0:21:37.959 Now there's a report that Jalen Hurst might play, might 0:21:38.000 --> 0:21:47.560 not play, who knows. But for the Cowboys, do you 0:21:47.680 --> 0:21:54.360 consider going all gas, no breaks and just being kind 0:21:54.400 --> 0:21:57.760 of almost a little bit content with the fifth seed 0:21:58.800 --> 0:22:02.800 and resting guys? Sorry, do you go all gas, no 0:22:02.920 --> 0:22:06.280 brakes and play all your guys and continue to put 0:22:06.280 --> 0:22:08.119 the pressure back on those other teams because you wouldn't 0:22:08.119 --> 0:22:10.120 Fililphi were playing at the same time, So you don't. 0:22:10.160 --> 0:22:11.800 You won't know the outcome of what the game will 0:22:11.840 --> 0:22:14.119 be until after you both are done playing. It's not 0:22:14.119 --> 0:22:16.440 like it two or at the same time, at the 0:22:16.480 --> 0:22:19.679 same time. Listens, listens, obvious blow out. I see what 0:22:19.720 --> 0:22:22.840 you did there too, NFL. Yeah, lessens, obvious blow You're 0:22:22.880 --> 0:22:26.520 making everybody to play, right, But the bottom line is 0:22:26.520 --> 0:22:28.960 this right here, But let me finish. Should the Cowboys 0:22:29.920 --> 0:22:33.159 full all gas, no brakes, play all their guys to 0:22:33.280 --> 0:22:37.560 the finish or kind of almost can see and say, man, 0:22:37.920 --> 0:22:40.280 I don't want to. I don't want to get some 0:22:40.320 --> 0:22:43.840 significant guys either banged up or more banged up than 0:22:43.880 --> 0:22:46.800 they already are. Let's just hold tight and keep some 0:22:46.840 --> 0:22:48.320 of these guys out and give them a chance to 0:22:48.359 --> 0:22:51.800 rest up for next week. If they don't have Jalen Hurbs, 0:22:52.000 --> 0:22:56.080 they're gonna lose. We gotta go in there and play. 0:22:56.200 --> 0:22:58.920 We gotta gonna let the coaches and missus Jones them 0:22:58.920 --> 0:23:02.600 scoreboard watch, and if it's an obvious blowout, then you 0:23:02.600 --> 0:23:05.600 start taking you guys out. If it's obvious blow out 0:23:05.600 --> 0:23:08.439 by Philadelphia, you start taking you guys out. If not, 0:23:08.840 --> 0:23:11.440 you go, you go, you go full till you go, 0:23:11.600 --> 0:23:14.159 you go for because they're playing the Giants right, correct, 0:23:14.280 --> 0:23:17.560 The Giants gonna go full till the Giants trying to 0:23:17.640 --> 0:23:21.600 change their culture and they're trying to go to secure. Yeah, 0:23:21.600 --> 0:23:24.359 but they're trying to change their culture. If if they 0:23:24.520 --> 0:23:26.440 rest in people, they just gonna return back to who 0:23:26.440 --> 0:23:29.280 they the original it was a year ago. You got 0:23:29.320 --> 0:23:31.760 to come out and play not But this is coming 0:23:31.760 --> 0:23:34.840 from a guy who believed that the more you win, 0:23:35.000 --> 0:23:37.199 the better you become. The more you win in the 0:23:37.280 --> 0:23:39.359 right correct way, the better you become. So now they 0:23:39.400 --> 0:23:41.960 may not be thinking that way, but coach Diable, it's 0:23:42.119 --> 0:23:44.840 all of a sudden got people thinking that way. So 0:23:44.880 --> 0:23:47.560 I'm thinking they're gonna come at the Philadelphia Eagles Kirk, Yeah, 0:23:47.600 --> 0:23:49.560 I think so as well. They have to go out. 0:23:49.560 --> 0:23:51.320 They have to put the pedal to the metal and 0:23:51.359 --> 0:23:53.439 go all out come. I mean, they could get there, 0:23:53.440 --> 0:23:55.120 they get the number one seed, they get the buyer, 0:23:55.200 --> 0:23:57.119 they get that first round by so that, you know, 0:23:57.160 --> 0:23:59.960
