But first, Rob Phillips, Isaiah 0:01:04.680 --> 0:01:08.480 Stanbackpatrick No See Walker, Chris Beam, I'm Kyle Yeoman's gentlemen, 0:01:08.520 --> 0:01:13.040 how are we doing? Fantastic? Lovely Lovely Lovely is always 0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:14.840 It's like it's a calm before the storm. You know, 0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:17.080 what do you mean? You know there's a big game 0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:18.920 coming up. It feels like, you know, we were hyped 0:01:18.959 --> 0:01:20.560 and now we're getting into it. You know, we have 0:01:20.640 --> 0:01:23.039 all the information we're digesting it and now we're just 0:01:23.080 --> 0:01:25.120 waiting for it to you know, to the game playing attention, 0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:29.000 hot tea, and then just ready you're dressed and ready 0:01:29.000 --> 0:01:35.320 for game day. I'm ready, Yeah, I'm ready. Pinky, Pinky's 0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:37.280 always up working out. You know what I'm saying is 0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:40.520 we're feeling good man, good good man test. Well, that's 0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:44.280 kind of that's what football is. Sometimes it's a waiting 0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:46.920 game because it's not like baseball, where if you have 0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:50.160 a big game, you usually have two or three put together. 0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:52.880 Or if you're a basketball you might have a big 0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:56.840 game where it's a crosstown rival or it's a divisional 0:01:56.920 --> 0:01:59.080 rival or something of the sword, and then you turn 0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:00.720 around it after you play that game, you've got two 0:02:00.760 --> 0:02:03.560 days left, and then you play again. Yep. So football 0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:05.440 it's a bit of a waiting game. How much of 0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:08.360 a mental test is that for guys like this who 0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:11.800 maybe haven't played in the visional game like this in 0:02:11.840 --> 0:02:14.760 their their career. It's the emotional side of it. I 0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:18.840 think we saw a great display of the frustrations that 0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:21.799 you can have emotionally. If the game the other day 0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:26.839 between the Raiders and what was it, Casey, Yeah, yeah, 0:02:26.880 --> 0:02:30.200 Raiders and Casey, and you saw how up and down 0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:32.359 that game was. You saw how emotional it was. You 0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:34.840 saw there's high points, there's low points, and then at 0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:38.120 the end, you know, unfortunately we saw the frustration spillover 0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:42.720 from DeVante Adams and and that's that's what this is. 0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:44.880 That's what this game is going to be. It's gonna 0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:46.799 be an up and down game. You're gonna have the 0:02:46.880 --> 0:02:49.160 high points. You're gonna have the michaelmaking plays, d Law, 0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:51.240 those guys all making heck of a play, and then 0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:53.920 something bad is gonna happen, you know, for the Dallas Cowboys, 0:02:53.919 --> 0:02:55.760 and they're gonna have the advantage, and it's gonna go 0:02:55.800 --> 0:02:59.959 back and forth, and these guys have to control their emotions. Man, 0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:01.440 these guys are gonna be talking. I don't know if 0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:02.720 they've ever been in it. Some of these guys have 0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:04.960 never been in an environment like Philly. I know, I 0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:07.480 think my first start was in Philly when I was 0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:09.960 here in Dallas. And who you want to talk about 0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:11.959 getting hyped now? I mean you got the old lady 0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:14.000 on with a walker flicking you off, and the buses 0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:16.480 going by, people throwing eggs, sheils at you. I mean 0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:18.400 it's it gets real now. So by the time you 0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:21.040 even entered the stadium stepping off with your suit on 0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:23.280 or sweat suit whatever they were now right through your 0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:25.960 backpack on and you walking, you hype and you have 0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:28.040 to come. You have to temper those emotions down and 0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:29.280 you have to try to you know, you get there 0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:31.160 three hours before the game, four hours before the game. 0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:33.280 You just gotta let it okay, let me build it up. 0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:34.840 And you go out there for your warm ups. Then 0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:36.320 you go out there for team warm ups, you put 0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:38.440 your pads on, you getting stretched out. Then you do, 0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:40.640 you know, you hit a little bit, and then you know, 0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:43.160 then you gotta wait for the national athem. And then 0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:44.760 after the national athem, you know, you might get a 0:03:44.760 --> 0:03:47.200 little emotional. And now the dog on kickoff happens. And 0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:49.680 here it goes right that first that first contact, whether 0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:52.960 you're on kickoff, kick off return something. They scooted it up. 0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:54.760 Now so hardly ever do we get to see anybody 0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:58.000 get hit. But but that used to be a let's 0:03:58.000 --> 0:04:00.480 go yeah, you know, and now you gotta watch exactly 0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:03.880 what Jason Peters and Martin both spoke about in the 0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:06.760 locker room after practice yesterday Jason Peters himself saying, you 0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:10.040 got to put on blinders. Um, you know, they're gonna 0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:12.160 they're gonna yell at you, they're gonna curse this year, 0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:14.360 They're gonna throw things at you. You just have to 0:04:14.400 --> 0:04:16.640 focus on the task at hand, is Zac Martin said. 0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:19.039 You know, his message to young guys, particularly you know, 0:04:19.120 --> 0:04:21.800 rookies like Tyler Smith, is you have to remain level headed. 0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:23.720 You can't get too high, you can't get too low. 0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:25.600 You can't let the crowd get in your ear. But 0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:27.479 you know, I love what Michael Parson said. He said, 0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:29.960 I'm so locked in sometimes I don't even hear the crowd. 0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:32.200 And that's what the cowboys need to do, especially in 0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:37.640 a environment like Philly. Um. Yeah, yeah, it's my favorite 0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:40.799 road trip because because of the fans. Because my first 0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:44.960 trip to Philly was OO six and that was Tio's 0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:48.920 return to Philly. And I think our bus got egged 0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:51.480 I for one year a day. I don't I think 0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:54.200 it was those six. I serve you some breakfast there, Yeah, 0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:57.520 I'll scramble court. Yeah yeah, O're gonna get egg year. 0:04:57.560 --> 0:04:59.760 Do you think probably? Now? I mean there's not That 0:04:59.880 --> 0:05:01.680 was a special kind of hate and you know it's 0:05:01.680 --> 0:05:04.200 a special environment. When Jason Peters, who knows, he just 0:05:04.279 --> 0:05:07.680 mentioned he's coming back to Philly and he's beloved up there. 0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:10.520 He loves it up there, and his description of the 0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:15.880 fans is lovingly, they're idiots, you know, because I know 0:05:15.920 --> 0:05:19.040 it's it's it's a family show. He did, yeah, and 0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:23.200 he said in the in a loving way. And that's 0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:26.040 that's the environment. And the other thing too is, you know, 0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:30.919 it's a young team and we're everybody's gassing up the 0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:34.039 defense right now and rightfully, so they've got to temper 0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:36.719 that because and not listen to all that stuff because 0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:40.039 it can turn quickly, like Kyle, like you said, like 0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:42.760 it's week to week and there is momentum in the NFL, 0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:46.520 but every week is a different entity. And I think 0:05:46.520 --> 0:05:48.640 it helps that they're playing an undefeated team that that 0:05:48.720 --> 0:05:51.480 can absolutely bring it. So I don't expect to letdown, 0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:53.360 but it's gonna be a hell of a challenge. Wait, 0:05:53.680 --> 0:05:56.160 there is there is such thing as being overhype, right, 0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:58.400 Oh yes, I mean, because you can be you can 0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:01.000 be overlooking a team, and you can be excited about 0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:03.320 a game, and you can have those nerves from a 0:06:03.360 --> 0:06:06.920 negative standpoint, But you can be too hype. Yeah, time 0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:08.920 it rains you. I remember my coach back at least 0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:10.680 back in college, you said, and I learned it obviously. 0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:12.479 Going into the NFL, you said, have to toe me 0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:14.320 down like hill out. I used to be the cat, 0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:17.040 you know, listening to my dog on my mixes and 0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:18.920 my hell you know, with my headphones on. And then 0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:21.160 I get down on the field and I'm headbutting cats 0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:23.560 and running around and by the time the game comes, 0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:26.320 I'm like, you can see that I'm tired. So I 0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:29.720 can just visize that. So my coaches telling me just 0:06:29.720 --> 0:06:31.359 just just chill out. And you know, even if you 0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:32.719 make a big play, you want to be hyped, like 0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:35.840 you gotta. Okay, that was one play. There was one play. 0:06:35.960 --> 0:06:38.560 Let's go to the next play because something back happened next, right, 0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:40.520 So don't get too high, don't get too low. I 0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:43.159 appreciate the role, you know, I appreciate the trip of 0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:45.640 the journey. But you gotta keep putting it together because 0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:47.520 you know when you're paying, when you're playing the team, 0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:49.680 both teams, when you're looking across the way and you 0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:52.840 know that that team is capable of making a big play. 0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:54.800 On defense or and then turning around and making big 0:06:54.800 --> 0:06:57.960 plays on offense. You have to temper your emotions and 0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:00.520 temper your hypnus because you know it's hype. As you 0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:02.520 might get you'd be seen up there. Yeah yeah, yeah, 0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:04.080 yeah yeah the next you know, the camera but show 0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:07.200 you like, oh you know what say you do? Just 0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:10.480 just remain calm, and it's hard. It is freaking hard. 0:07:10.680 --> 0:07:12.680 And that's why you see teams. I mean, think about 0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:14.720 Dog in Atlanta. You know some years back when they 0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:16.440 lost in New England and the Super Bowl, they got 0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:18.840 too hype. They got too hype. These guys started thinking 0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:20.840 about what the ring was gonna look like. So, I mean, 0:07:20.880 --> 0:07:23.600 and Dan Quinn knows that, right, obviously, you start thinking 0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:26.280 about all the thing. I mean, we'll scraping these cats up. No, no, no, 0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:27.920 we're gonna get this. We're gonna get this. And then 0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:29.640 all of a sudden they score. Oh, don't worry about it, 0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:31.920 were still gonna win this thing, and boom they scored. Okay, 0:07:31.960 --> 0:07:34.600 hold on, hold on, wait a minute now, and all 0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:36.880 of a sudden, momentum shifting. So you as much as 0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:40.000 you can, remain level head. And that's why I'll talk 0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:42.520 so much in the past about having those veterans in 0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:45.520 the in the locker room, right, it's everything, and that's 0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:48.480 why it's important for I don't know if Jason Peter 0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:50.680 is gonna be available, probably not, but if he's available, 0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:53.880 that's huge because hell it be ay talent. Chill chill 0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:55.440 you know what's Syna, chill out? We got you all right? 0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:57.080 What about you, Martin? I'll get chill out. We got 0:07:57.080 --> 0:07:59.240 you okay cool. Everywhere I look, there's a there's a 0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:02.280 there's an event that will o hey. One reason they 0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:04.880 signed Anthony Barr. I think we asked McClay Will McClay 0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:07.679 at training camp, and leadership was one of the first 0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:09.680 words out of his mouth. Four time probo. I mean, 0:08:09.720 --> 0:08:11.400 he's got the on the field stuff. But it's a 0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:13.400 young defense. You know. It helps to have a guy 0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:15.560 who's been through it been four Pro Bowls, you know. Yeah. 0:08:15.640 --> 0:08:18.880 But to your point, being in Isaiah's point, specifically, being 0:08:18.880 --> 0:08:21.600 overhyped is a thing. And to add on to what 0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:24.960 he was saying, and not only will it put you 0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:27.280 in the wrong frame of mind as far as draining 0:08:27.320 --> 0:08:29.960 you before you know you even get to kickoff and 0:08:30.440 --> 0:08:35.679 quicker as the game progresses, but it costs you self discipline, right, 0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:38.480 I mean, because you're so hyped and you're so ready 0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:40.560 to make the next play that you might over pursue 0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:42.840 this this tackle, and now you have a mistackle and 0:08:42.880 --> 0:08:44.559 now that's a big play. And then all of a sudden, 0:08:44.600 --> 0:08:48.080 you've gone from this this cut away of you being yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:08:48.400 --> 0:08:51.400 this cut away oh man. Yeah. So I could say 0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:53.840 settle down. Yeah, I can tell you one down where 0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:55.440 I was in that same And I'm not sure if 0:08:55.480 --> 0:08:56.800 I brought this up in the past or not, but 0:08:56.840 --> 0:09:00.960 it was my first like big time where I was 0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:03.160 not just a return man or a specialists or something 0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:04.520 like that. But like when I was playing in New England, 0:09:04.520 --> 0:09:07.959 I was starting, and we're playing Sunday night football in 0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:11.280 Indie against Peyton Manning. Right, I'm I'm, I'm I got 0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:13.840 Tom Brady obviously, so I'm went to TV twelve, I 0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:16.640 got Wes Welker, I got freaking Moss next to me, 0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:19.600 and we work from the promos for this game. Definitely, 0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:23.040 not definitely, not definitely stuff. I wasn't that guy that 0:09:23.080 --> 0:09:26.880 didn't say I stand back first, but I was in 0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:29.080 the huddle. That's pretty bad. But We're playing against Dwight 0:09:29.120 --> 0:09:32.560 Freenee and I was there, Mathist and all those guys. 0:09:32.559 --> 0:09:34.680 So it's a hype game and the in the freaking 0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:37.839 environment as crazy as a brand new stadium. And man, 0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:39.760 we're playing and it goes to a TV timeout and 0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:41.600 we're just cats. His drawn back and forth and as 0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:44.000 getting into it, pushing always almost up to a flag, 0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:46.040 you know, right at the whistle. And I remember sitting 0:09:46.040 --> 0:09:47.800 in the huddle and I'm just looking around like, yo, 0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:50.559 I just remember just doing you know, those TV timeouts 0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:52.079 were long, man, So you're sitting in the huddle, You're 0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:54.559 just looking around like that. This is absolutely crazy. And 0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:56.720 I found myself getting caught up in a moment, and 0:09:56.800 --> 0:09:58.720 I remember Moss tapped me. He was like, hey, standy, 0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:01.079 this is crazy. Man. He he's crazy, ain't because he 0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:03.200 saw me. He was like, He's like, it's crazy, ain't it. Man. 0:10:03.240 --> 0:10:05.679 I'm like, this is wild. He's just doing what you do. Man. 0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:08.760 I'm looking at him. He's just calm. I look at West, 0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:11.680 He's just calm. TV twelve is like we're in practice. 0:10:11.720 --> 0:10:14.560 I'm like, these cats ain't paying no attention at all. 0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:16.800 And it just put me at ease. I was like, 0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:19.800 all right, just just just play football right back in right, 0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:22.400 But I was I found myself getting into the emotions 0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:24.520 in the environment and all that stuff, and until I 0:10:24.559 --> 0:10:26.640 had that veteran to look at him be like, oh yeah, 0:10:26.679 --> 0:10:29.840 this is just ball. That's this type of environment Sunday 0:10:29.920 --> 0:10:31.360 night too, Like I'm I think it was in your 0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:33.480 rundown yesterday. We didn't get to it. Like, this is 0:10:33.480 --> 0:10:38.880 the biggest divisional matchup since when maybe twenty eighteen when 0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:40.920 Mary got here and it went to overtime at AT AT 0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:43.200 and T Stadium and that was that game was off 0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:45.600 off the rails too. Yeah, it was. It was off though, 0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:47.680 but it was I'm trying to think because the division 0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:49.920 has been so bad and that that's the type of 0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:51.920 environment you're going into and you can get to. It's 0:10:51.920 --> 0:10:56.439 not the super Bowl, but this is it's definitely playoff energy. Yeah, 0:10:56.480 --> 0:10:59.160 this early on, which is wild right right, It's it's 0:10:59.160 --> 0:11:02.240 a playoff air and atmosphere in the link this weekend 0:11:02.240 --> 0:11:05.600 and you'd toss in some prime time slotting with it, 0:11:05.640 --> 0:11:08.320 and everybody and their mom was watching this game. Everyone's 0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:10.560 watching everybody. Everybody's asking, oh man, you want to go 0:11:10.559 --> 0:11:12.240 do this Sunday. Heck no, I ain't doing this Sunday. 0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:13.920 I got the game watching like I've been on so 0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:15.439 many text threads or people are like, what you guys 0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:17.840 doing this weekend? I'm like watching the Cowboys game. Danny 0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:20.160 mccraie was saying yesterday, It's like if they wanted to 0:11:20.160 --> 0:11:23.000 put this thing on pay per view like canell like 0:11:23.080 --> 0:11:26.560 Canellos style, and charge X amount of dollars people, people 0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:29.000 would buy it. This is gonna be fun. They just 0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:34.680 need to have Bray Wyatt come out a halftime Fireflies. 0:11:34.880 --> 0:11:37.920 It is the fourth time since the divisional realignment in 0:11:37.920 --> 0:11:40.200 two thousand and two that three teams in the same 0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:42.800 division have started four and one are better. So you've 0:11:42.840 --> 0:11:45.720 got Philly, New York and Dallas, which adds to this. 0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:47.240 I mean the fact that New York's hot on your 0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:49.199 heels are tied with you at the moment. That adds 0:11:49.240 --> 0:11:51.360 to the importance of this matchup because if Dallas wins, 0:11:51.360 --> 0:11:53.880 and then if New York wins, everybody's tied at the top. 0:11:53.920 --> 0:11:56.480 And now, of course Dallas would technically be the tiebreaker, 0:11:56.800 --> 0:12:00.600 but then and that's that raised my eyebrows. As Cowboys 0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:03.520 in the Eagles will be the third NFC East matchup 0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:08.040 since nineteen seventy in which the two teams have a 0:12:08.080 --> 0:12:12.240 combined win percentage of nine hundred or better entering a 0:12:12.320 --> 0:12:14.320 game week five or later in the season. The only 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:18.319 other times that that's happened was nineteen ninety two Cowboys 0:12:18.400 --> 0:12:20.959 versus Eagles. Eagles won that game as the home team. 0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:23.120 Cowboys were three and oz the Eagles are three and 0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:25.520 OZO in Week five, and then in Week six of 0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:28.280 nineteen seventy six, the Cowboys were five and ZO and 0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:30.280 the Cardinals for four and one. Those are the only 0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:33.319 other two instances in which NFC East teams have had 0:12:33.360 --> 0:12:37.560 a ninety plus win percentage combined in a game after 0:12:37.600 --> 0:12:40.840 Week five. Ever, so that shows just how big of 0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:43.960 a matchup it is, even from a step Cardinals in 0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:45.959 the East for those that don't know, yeah, they were 0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:48.720 in the East. That's not a typo, but it's going 0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:52.040 way back. Ninety two is the golden age of the 0:12:52.160 --> 0:12:55.199 NFC East. Man. That was when every not only when 0:12:55.200 --> 0:12:57.280 every team was good, but every team but Arizona had 0:12:57.320 --> 0:12:59.120 like a legit shot to win the Super Bowl for 0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:03.000 about a five six your stretch. So yeah, that's that's big. 0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:05.920 It's crazy. But all right, we're a little bit late 0:13:05.960 --> 0:13:08.160 on this, but news and notes, rob anything come out 0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:11.680 of practice yesterday. They're back on the field in pads today. Yeah, 0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:13.559 I mean, Mike McCarthy, we all know by now. Mike 0:13:13.640 --> 0:13:16.600 McCarthy said, Cooper Rush preparing to start this game. That's 0:13:16.600 --> 0:13:19.560 not a surprise to anybody. But Dak did do some 0:13:19.640 --> 0:13:22.559 throwing yesterday for the first time I believe, I mean 0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:25.240 real actual trying to put some zip and test it 0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:30.280 out since September twelfth, a full month before he did that, 0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:34.560 since the thumb surgery. And he said after practice, just 0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:37.920 kind of going by and reporters asking him, he said 0:13:37.960 --> 0:13:39.320 it went well. He's hoping to do a little bit 0:13:39.360 --> 0:13:43.040 more today. Guys said that he looked, it looked good, 0:13:43.080 --> 0:13:44.720 there was some zip on it. I mean, he's not 0:13:45.240 --> 0:13:48.440 they're gonna spoon feed this thing. It's not gonna be 0:13:48.600 --> 0:13:52.280 all one hundred percent the first day. But that's progress, 0:13:52.440 --> 0:13:55.600 so we'll see how it goes. And but Cooper Rush 0:13:55.920 --> 0:13:59.679 set to start. And the other big of note that 0:13:59.760 --> 0:14:03.080 Mike ka Parsons did not practice, but he's not concerned 0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:04.680 in any way that he's gonna miss this game. On 0:14:04.720 --> 0:14:07.560 Sunday night, he listened to no C Oh. Yeah, No 0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:11.200 C said, don't practice all week playing a game dmp 0:14:11.520 --> 0:14:14.160 C on the flight Saturday, thank you very much. Let's 0:14:14.160 --> 0:14:16.880 get you ready to roll. You were pretty impressed with 0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:19.320 let you saw from Dak in like a limited fashion 0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:22.160 yesterday though, right, Yeah, And when you talk to guys 0:14:22.160 --> 0:14:24.760 like Ceedee Lamb and you hear Ceedee Lamb say that 0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:30.320 the ball the catches in the throws felt like traditional 0:14:30.400 --> 0:14:34.000 Dak Prescott passes in that you know, the zipp the velocity. 0:14:34.040 --> 0:14:36.320 We're not saying it's necessarily there one hundred percent, but 0:14:36.360 --> 0:14:38.640 you love to hear that your top receivers are one 0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:40.800 of your top receivers is basically saying, hey, that that 0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:43.440 throw felt that throw felt the same today as it 0:14:43.480 --> 0:14:46.920 did September eleventh, or you know, in the Dak yard 0:14:47.000 --> 0:14:49.680 this offseason, whatever the case may be. So definitely some 0:14:49.720 --> 0:14:54.120 good progress being made there. Um. But like like Rob said, 0:14:54.280 --> 0:14:56.680 no surprise that Cooper Rush looks like he's going to 0:14:56.760 --> 0:14:59.840 be up in the starter for Philadelphia, which puts Dak 0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:04.640 Scott right Whereasaiah wants him on a B line to 0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:08.200 the Detroit Lions game the week after but more important 0:15:08.240 --> 0:15:10.520 things to handle up first at first, which is the 0:15:10.520 --> 0:15:14.760 Philadelphia Eagles huge, huge, huge test for Cooper Rush, even 0:15:15.000 --> 0:15:18.000 bigger than the huge test of the Los Angeles Rams, 0:15:18.040 --> 0:15:22.160 because yeah, that defense was top five. This defense is 0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:26.280 arguably top two or top three. Yeah, so, and they're 0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:28.280 playing like it too. I mean, I know the Rams 0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:30.800 defense has played well, but the Rams offense just hasn't 0:15:30.800 --> 0:15:33.200 been there. But the Philadelphia offense has been there. We've 0:15:33.200 --> 0:15:35.240 talked about that a little bit this week, but I 0:15:35.240 --> 0:15:37.320 want to hit that Cooper Rush. What kind of test 0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:39.560 is this for him on the other side of the break, 0:15:39.600 --> 0:15:42.360 because Rush has got a chance to do something that 0:15:43.080 --> 0:15:45.960 no other quarterback has done really as a backup in 0:15:46.000 --> 0:15:48.680 the NFL, especially as an undrafted player. But we'll talk 0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:51.680 about that more more. Talking Cowboys presented by Black Rifle 0:15:51.720 --> 0:15:56.280 Coffee Company right after this.

We we've 0:18:38.680 --> 0:18:40.520 done this last couple of weeks, but I like to 0:18:40.520 --> 0:18:43.400 see where it changes week to week. What's your confidence 0:18:43.440 --> 0:18:46.040 meter in this offense right now, Isaiah going up against 0:18:46.080 --> 0:18:50.000 this Philadelphia defense? One to ten or percentages, whatever you 0:18:50.000 --> 0:18:54.719 want to do. We've done it both ways. Five Okay, 0:18:54.960 --> 0:18:57.760 so just a little bit above average, A little bit 0:18:57.800 --> 0:19:03.040 above average, yes, trick um ten for sixteen one h two. 0:19:03.840 --> 0:19:07.000 Now you're going up against this four out of ten 0:19:07.119 --> 0:19:13.000 who and three of the four is the run game? 0:19:13.280 --> 0:19:16.520 So wow, Yeah, I'll go a little higher. I'll go 0:19:16.600 --> 0:19:21.040 six only because only well, and I say that thinking 0:19:21.200 --> 0:19:22.840 this could be the game where they look you look 0:19:22.840 --> 0:19:25.280 back man. They could have used dak in this game. 0:19:25.720 --> 0:19:28.800 But um, and that's not minimizing what Cooper rushed. Had 0:19:28.840 --> 0:19:30.800
