Cowboys let go. Are 0:00:15.720 --> 0:00:18.600 you ready for a break? Yes? Are you ready for 0:00:18.640 --> 0:00:23.720 a break? Absolutely? Ready for a break? Yeah, and so 0:00:23.840 --> 0:00:27.600 much for that. It's time for the Break on Dallas 0:00:27.640 --> 0:00:33.280 Cowboys dot Com with Nick Eatman, Brian brought Us and 0:00:33.560 --> 0:00:40.760 bar Garcia and Derek Eagleton. It's two November twenty second, 0:00:40.840 --> 0:00:44.440 twenty twenty two, season eighteen, episode number seventy six. Welcome 0:00:44.479 --> 0:00:46.479 to the latest edition of The Break. We'll i from 0:00:46.479 --> 0:00:48.919 That's WBC Morgan Studios at the Star. We're presented by 0:00:48.920 --> 0:00:52.640 millerlike the only beer of the Dallas Cowboys. We appreciate 0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:54.880 you guys joining us today. We got about forty five 0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:57.880 minutes to get you guys ready for Cowboys versus Giants. 0:00:58.560 --> 0:01:01.120 We are as we normally on a Wednesday and Thursday. 0:01:01.120 --> 0:01:03.639 We usually spit split up offense and defense. Today we're 0:01:03.640 --> 0:01:06.120 gonna do the whole thing. So we'll get a scouting 0:01:06.160 --> 0:01:08.840 report here on both sides of the ball for the 0:01:08.880 --> 0:01:11.720 Giants matchup against the Cowboys. Maybe some things that are 0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:13.959 a little different than when we saw this team the 0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:16.720 last time. Let's start first, though, Jerry had a few 0:01:16.760 --> 0:01:18.959 comments this morning. I wanted to get some opinions on. 0:01:19.560 --> 0:01:22.280 He did say that Micah and Mike McCarthy followed it 0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:25.600 up as well, saying that Micah Parsons seems to be fine. 0:01:25.760 --> 0:01:27.480 They expect him to play this week. What are we 0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:30.679 here as far as other injuries of Note and DeMarcus 0:01:30.760 --> 0:01:33.200 Lawrence and this whole rash of guys will seem to 0:01:33.240 --> 0:01:37.000 be sick ill with I would assume flu or flu 0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:39.480 like I think that's their biggest problem. I don't think 0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:43.120 there anything else is really pressing them hard right now 0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:45.039 on it. I mean, it's a short week. It's gonna 0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:48.120 be tough. McCarthy talked about that that's the thing you 0:01:48.160 --> 0:01:50.560 have to manage, is the injuries. The Giants are kind 0:01:50.560 --> 0:01:52.400 of in the same boat with their offensive line when 0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:55.360 we get to that. But this this stuff with the 0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:58.200 flu or whatever's going around in the building right now, 0:01:58.360 --> 0:02:00.200 is that that's the thing I think you have to 0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:03.680 worry about. You know, guys playing through it. Obviously last 0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:06.520 you know week against Minnesota they had guys that were 0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:08.680 playing through. Because then you turn around and looked at 0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:11.840 the injury report the next day and guys like Fowler 0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:13.880 and others were on that thing, so obviously they were 0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:16.880 playing that game sick, and so yeah, it's just to manage. 0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:19.960 It's about managing to keep the guys away who are sick, 0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:22.520 and then you know, go with the guys that you 0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:25.200 have right now and do the best you can. Well 0:02:25.200 --> 0:02:29.560 after the game, because Kelvin Joseph he left the game. 0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:32.079 He never returned, did he No, he left, I don't 0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:35.400 think so. Yeah, he got out of the game and 0:02:35.480 --> 0:02:37.720 they announced he was an illness. And I remember with 0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:40.240 the media after the game, while we waited for Mike 0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:43.120 McCarthy to show up and do the press conference, we're 0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:45.320 kind of just talking about it. Oh man, what's up 0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:47.160 with Kelvin Josel. You need to put him in the 0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:49.160 back of the plane and put a mask on, keep 0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:51.639 him away, you know. And then we get backing out 0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:54.320 we see the injury report that it's like, oh shit, 0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:59.120 oh my god, I'm sorry, I don't mean to see 0:02:57.560 --> 0:03:03.160 what I mean. Shoot, yeah, no, it's just my accent, 0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:05.200 you know, it's not really what I said is just 0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:10.400 the accent. But um, yeah, that's that's concerning. But because 0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:14.240 to think back that he didn't even return. It makes 0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:17.800 you think, Okay, well, how how serious is this? Is 0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:19.880 this something that they can because sometimes we've seen it. 0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:22.160 They just shoot something up. We gave them some type 0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:25.600 of or whatever, and then they just get back out there. 0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:28.200 But definitely something to keep an eye on. I saw that. 0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:31.080 I guess Mike McCarthy said, some guys are gonna be 0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:34.520 wearing masks around the building. I assume guys that are 0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:37.400 healthy are They're probably like, hey, let's just try to 0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:39.880 see if we can be a little safer if you're 0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:42.240 going to be in rooms with other guys that may 0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:44.560 have been sick, or if you just don't know if 0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:46.800 they're sick, and maybe it's the beginning of it. The 0:03:46.800 --> 0:03:48.760 one thing that we learned through the pandemic is you 0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:53.840 could play football when there's problems with illness. You know, 0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:56.120 and I don't mean that in a way of I 0:03:56.160 --> 0:03:58.920 mean that that you can have meetings, you can tap 0:03:59.000 --> 0:04:01.240 guys in, you can and you know, it's not that 0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:03.680 you're putting guys out there that had COVID, but you're 0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:07.760 you've learned to adapt and have meetings and have players 0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:11.280 be included in some of the most important things. The 0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:14.760 meeting time because they're really not practicing. This is just 0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:17.560 like walk through stuff. It's hey, this is going to 0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:19.440 be the game plan this week. Maybe a little bit 0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:22.760 of a scale down offense. You know, it's a common opponent. 0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:25.440 You you know, it's a lot different team looking than 0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:27.920 what you saw early in the year. I think they've 0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:30.880 approved along the way, so you know, but it's the 0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:33.640 case for both teams right now. It really really is 0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:36.200 that you just you're trying to get enough meeting time, 0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:38.120 you're trying to get the practice time, and you're trying 0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:40.760 to formulate a game plan that gives you the best 0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:43.520 chance to have some success to win the game. So 0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:46.920 this is not easy, especially now. But like I say, 0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:49.480 COVID in the way that that kind of taught us 0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:51.640 with the zooms and things like that, you can kind 0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:54.440 of get people still involved with if they don't aren't 0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:57.040 physically here. You can literally have guys who might be 0:04:57.080 --> 0:04:59.120 at home right now not feeling well still be able 0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:01.840 to tend to meet exa that matters exactly. Another thing 0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:03.880 that Jerry saith I thought was interesting, We've had this 0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:08.320 debate throughout the year about what happens when Tyron Smith returns. 0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:11.200 He says this morning, Tyler Smith will move to guard. 0:05:11.720 --> 0:05:15.440 Tyrn Smith will be at tackle whenever he's available. Guys 0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:20.600 think that's the right decision. Yep, absolutely, especially if it's easily. 0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:23.240 You know, he said easily, he will will move to 0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:26.960 left guard. The question and then then just becomes is 0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:29.440 is he better than McGovern Yeah? Yeah, So if he's not, 0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:32.479 then put McGovern in. I mean that's and if and 0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:35.680 if Tyler Smith, If Tyron Smith is not better than 0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:38.800 what you've had from Tyler Tyler Smith, then I mean 0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:40.960 change I go back. I think so. But I mean, 0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:43.880 this guy's done it. I mean, this guy's been doing 0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:46.960 it since Tyler Smith was in sixth grade. So I 0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:49.040 mean if he can't do it anymore, he can't do it. 0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:51.880 But I mean he's out there working and busting his 0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:54.240 butt to get back and get into this shape when 0:05:54.279 --> 0:05:56.000 a lot of people thought there's no way this was 0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:58.479 going to happen, and always he's gonna play again. So 0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:01.320 if he comes back, he plays, Yeah, he deserves that. 0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:04.360 He I think he will be better than I mean, 0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:07.279 Tyler Smith has been a good rookie. I don't think 0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:09.680 Tyler Smith has been great. I think Tyler Smith has 0:06:09.720 --> 0:06:13.320 been really really good for a rookie out of Tulsa 0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:17.040 who was a projection and a guy that didn't play 0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:19.200 at left tackle. That's what's been amazing. But if you 0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:21.600 just look at it and forget all the other stuff, 0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:24.160 I think he's been he's been good. I don't think 0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:26.440 he's been great. Let's see if Tyler I let's see 0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:30.240 if Tyrn Smith can be great. I don't agree with 0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:32.560 any of them, I mean with some of that, just 0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:35.960 because I don't think it's such an easy, an easy 0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:39.680 quick decision to say, okay, you plug Tyren Smith right 0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:42.680 back in. Yes, he's like a beast and we know 0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:44.719 what he can do. But if he go back to 0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:47.360 even before he got injured, the way he was playing, 0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:50.560 it wasn't his old self. You could still see him 0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:55.320 make some mistakes that are very unlike him. And if 0:06:55.320 --> 0:06:58.160 you're looking at the future and what's going to happen here, 0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:01.279 I would assume this is for him, like this is 0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:05.640 maybe his last year here. That's me just assuming. So 0:07:05.760 --> 0:07:09.400 why mess something up that that's kind of working for 0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:11.720 you right now? And I feel that the old line 0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:14.920 just week after week, even Tyler Smith and Connor McGovern, 0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:18.679 they keep getting better and it's just it's clicking even 0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:22.120 more every time. So to think that you take that 0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:26.080 out and put and that's difficult because you know, but 0:07:26.120 --> 0:07:27.880 the thing is that you don't know what level he's 0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:30.600 gonna come back, and we've seen him done it before 0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:34.720 where he's not even playing, practicing or anything, and he 0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:39.400 still plays amazing. But I just right now, this is 0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:41.520 the one year that I don't think it's just a 0:07:41.640 --> 0:07:45.520 quick simple decision to say, yes, put him back in 0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:49.160 and sit Tyler Smith'll move Tyler Smith and take Connor 0:07:49.200 --> 0:07:52.640 McGovern out because McGovern he's impressed me. I didn't expect 0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:54.480 him to be doing as well as he's doing, and 0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:57.080 he's doing such a good job, So I don't think 0:07:57.080 --> 0:07:59.920 I would like to kind of mess that chemistry. That's 0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:03.640 right now, the question might be did did Connor McGovern 0:08:03.760 --> 0:08:07.080 beat out Tyler Smith at left guard? That's the question 0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:09.160 you got to kind of ask yourself right now, because 0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:11.920 the way it looked like up until it looked like that, 0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:14.400 it was kind of a neck and neck situation. But 0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:19.040 you know, it also appeared that until Tyron Smith got hurt, 0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:23.360 that was gonna be Connor McGovern's job. So I me personally, 0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:27.080 I'm putting I'm putting Tyron Smith at left tackle, and 0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:30.240 I'm gonna put Tyler Smith at guard. He's a young guy, 0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:33.240 he's a rookie. He worked there the whole training camp. 0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:35.280 You know, whether you liked him or not playing the 0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:38.480 training camp, you know, that's a whole another story. I 0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:42.160 just feel like though that this team if to you know, 0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:44.240 you say, I don't want to move. I don't want 0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:48.960 to adjust. They've adjusted all year. They brought in Jason Peters, 0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:52.600 He's played, They've moved guys around. You know, in this 0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:55.440 last game Matt Farniac against the Giants, he was the 0:08:55.480 --> 0:08:57.960 starter at left guard. I mean they've used a lot 0:08:58.000 --> 0:09:01.480 of different combinations. There's teams. I ask Stephen Jones this question. 0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:03.800 I want to fight through the fan. I said, you know, 0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:06.440 do you just look for continuity and you just want 0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:08.000 to play the bit you know, the five guys you 0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:11.800 got And he's like, you can't say that anymore because guys, 0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:14.199 you know, you might want that. But he goes, we're 0:09:14.240 --> 0:09:16.160 in an era now where guys are having to plug 0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:19.320 in and play and stuff like that. And they've proven 0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:21.880 to me that every move that they've made with the 0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:25.120 offensive line has worked, you know, and I'm going to 0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:28.400 trust them that putting Tyrann Smith back in there's going 0:09:28.480 --> 0:09:31.120 to make this offensive line better. And Tyler Smith playing 0:09:31.200 --> 0:09:33.959 left guard is going to make that left side even better. 0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:36.920 So that's that's how I'm looking at it myself. Yeah, 0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:40.320 I think I would prefer the continuity and a set, 0:09:40.400 --> 0:09:43.160 specially in a situation where now we're talking about moving 0:09:43.160 --> 0:09:46.400 two positions that you don't necessarily have to. Here's the 0:09:46.400 --> 0:09:51.000 one caveat to that. If you think that having Tyran 0:09:51.120 --> 0:09:53.800 Smith and Tyler Smith by each other on the left 0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:57.480 side makes you stronger in the run game, then maybe 0:09:57.480 --> 0:10:00.720 it's worth it. Even if you're passing game section stays 0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:04.480 about the same. If you are a more stout, power 0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:06.960 running team on the left side because of this move, 0:10:07.679 --> 0:10:10.160 that's worth it. And there's another element to that too, 0:10:10.559 --> 0:10:13.640 because you get all three of them, because right, nobody 0:10:13.679 --> 0:10:17.400 can do what McGovern does a fullback. Yeah, like McGovern does. 0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:20.079 Farniak he's hurt now, but he doesn't do it the same. 0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:22.800 It's not the same. He does a good job with that. 0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:26.800 And so and I think you know, to what you said, 0:10:27.000 --> 0:10:29.400 I think you're still kind of grading on a curve 0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:33.640 on that Tyrn wasn't what he was and I get that, 0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:35.559 but he had a lot of grow, a lot of 0:10:35.640 --> 0:10:37.520 room to grow, and I mean a lot of room 0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:41.640 to go down and still be excellent. So yeah, he's 0:10:41.679 --> 0:10:43.960 not what he is, you know, what he has been, 0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:47.560 But I still think he will be better than Tyler Smith. 0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:50.680 And if he's not, then they've already shown that they'll 0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:52.880 they'll sit a Hall of Famer for him. I mean, 0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:56.000 Jason Peters hasn't done anything. Yeah, if Peters was better, 0:10:56.040 --> 0:10:58.320 he'd play, and he hasn't proven to be better. And 0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:00.880 if Tyron Smith isn't better than same thing. I mean, 0:11:01.360 --> 0:11:03.720 Tyler Rens might be a yo yo there like left guard, 0:11:03.960 --> 0:11:06.800 left tackle or whatever. But I mean, I just think 0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:09.800 Tyler Tyron Smith. I think he's going to be healthy 0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:13.160 with the neck and the back and shoulder hill but 0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:16.040 all that stuff, I think it'll be healthy and we'll see, 0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:17.560 We'll see how it goes. It could be good. It 0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:22.199 could be a situation too where you know, Tyron Smith 0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:24.440 has played in games and got hurt too, you know, 0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:26.800 I mean he's you know, that's and I hate to 0:11:26.840 --> 0:11:30.240 say that, but it's reality. It's why you drafted Tyler Smith. 0:11:30.600 --> 0:11:32.960 And they never told you he was a left tackle 0:11:33.200 --> 0:11:36.080 or a left guard. They said he's a left side player. 0:11:36.520 --> 0:11:39.920 They really didn't know, and they did everything they said. 0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:42.400 You know, everybody's saying, well, this is the future replacement 0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:46.040 for Tyron Smith, and you say future replacement for Tyron 0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:50.320 Smith because he gets hurt every year. You know, that's 0:11:50.320 --> 0:11:52.400 the thing. He got hurt again, you know, I mean, 0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:55.160 he's missed the majority of the season and you know, 0:11:55.200 --> 0:11:58.160 to me, I like, if this is the last one, 0:11:58.240 --> 0:12:00.720 let's go one more time. Let's just go this month 0:12:00.760 --> 0:12:04.079 of December into the playoffs, see what happens, and then 0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:07.880 make your decision from there. But you know, his reliability 0:12:07.920 --> 0:12:10.840 is the reason why you got Tyler Smith here, because 0:12:10.880 --> 0:12:14.000 there's no reliability there. And you know, I'm sitting there saying, 0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:15.839 say play and play and playing. But I'm also in 0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:18.400 the back of my mind thinking, Okay, well he's gonna 0:12:18.400 --> 0:12:20.360 be blocking and he's gonna somebody's gonna roll into the 0:12:20.400 --> 0:12:22.080 back of his ankle, and you know, and then he'll 0:12:22.080 --> 0:12:24.000 be gone for the rest of the season. Kind of 0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:27.200 a thing. And you need to find I think when 0:12:27.200 --> 0:12:30.040 that happens to find the perfect game, Like, look what 0:12:30.200 --> 0:12:32.959 opponent you're playing and see, okay, this is a game 0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:37.000 where we can definitely just to see how Houston, Houston's 0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:39.760 the game, Houston's game. And I'm just gonna give you 0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:43.040 a timeline just talking to folks in the organization. They're 0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:46.200 gonna start the clock after the Indianapolis Colts game. That's 0:12:46.240 --> 0:12:48.080 when it's gonna start. So you're gonna have this game, 0:12:48.400 --> 0:12:51.240 that little mini bye, you know, the little weekend by, 0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:53.640 and then you're gonna play You're gonna play the Colts 0:12:54.040 --> 0:12:56.400 and then I think that's I think after that, that's 0:12:56.440 --> 0:13:00.120 when you're gonna start the clock on Tyrant Smith. I 0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:02.959 think that's what they're they're looking at right now, to 0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:05.360 get him back on the field where he's ready for 0:13:05.400 --> 0:13:07.720 that potential, ready for that Texans game. I mean, look, 0:13:07.760 --> 0:13:09.280 here's here's how I look at at the end of 0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:12.400 the day, this guy, because of everything he's done for 0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:15.800 this organization, how good he's been throughout his career. If 0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:18.199 you can tell him, hey, man, give me the best 0:13:18.200 --> 0:13:20.480 six games you got in yeah, right, and you get 0:13:20.559 --> 0:13:22.839 him in seven, whatever the number is, that can get 0:13:22.880 --> 0:13:24.760 you as long as you're gonna be in the playoffs, 0:13:25.000 --> 0:13:26.720 and if he can get you that, like, if you 0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:29.360 can just get his body to get through that, you 0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:31.400 might be able to get something really good out of 0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:34.520 Tyren Smith, especially if he may even be thinking I'm 0:13:34.559 --> 0:13:37.160 not talking from any level of knowledge here, but if 0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:39.439 if he's even thinking, you know, maybe after this year, 0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:42.160 I'm kind of ready to step away. He might be 0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:43.840 in that mode where it's like, oh, I'm just gonna 0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:45.920 put it all in the line. I'll give you seven 0:13:46.280 --> 0:13:48.719 games the best I can give you, and that might 0:13:48.760 --> 0:13:50.920 be enough to give you some really really great play 0:13:50.920 --> 0:13:52.960 at left tackle. Because that's what he's been. You said, 0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:55.040 you said okay, you just said great, okay, because you 0:13:55.400 --> 0:13:58.720 said good twice in that and he he hasn't been 0:13:58.720 --> 0:14:00.959 good since he was a fresh at USC, you know 0:14:00.960 --> 0:14:03.080 what I mean. And he's been excellent. Right, That's what 0:14:03.120 --> 0:14:06.720 I'm right. And that's that's why I think that when 0:14:06.800 --> 0:14:10.199 when he ever gave up a pressure, it would be like, WHOA, 0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:13.800 what's going on? Okay? You sick? You know? So? Um 0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:16.000 And he's done that more and so. But I think 0:14:16.000 --> 0:14:17.800 he deserves the right to see if he's still if 0:14:17.840 --> 0:14:21.240 he still has it. But you know, Tyler, and Tyler 0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:23.760 has been good and he keeps getting better. I think 0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:26.120 the penalties are going down with him. I mean they 0:14:26.120 --> 0:14:28.080 were there early, but I mean they're kind of going 0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:30.720 down here in the last few few games. The thing 0:14:30.760 --> 0:14:33.440 about the thing you have to understand about Tyrant Smith 0:14:33.560 --> 0:14:35.640 is that he was at one time the best player 0:14:35.680 --> 0:14:38.640 on the team, and then Martin came along, and then 0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:40.880 now others have come along and he's no longer the 0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:43.760 best player. But there's a lot of teams out there 0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:45.840 that love to have him at left tackle right now, 0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:48.280 and this team you're about to play would love to 0:14:48.320 --> 0:14:50.840 have him at offensive tackle. It just but you know, 0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:52.880 that's the thing. I mean, if you can get the 0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:56.080 best six, seven, eight, how many games this seeing goes 0:14:56.120 --> 0:14:58.160 on through, go for it. And if he and if 0:14:58.200 --> 0:15:01.280 it works out, great, If it doesn't, Now everybody knows, 0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:04.480 he knows, the front office knows, you know. And I've 0:15:04.520 --> 0:15:06.480 had people tell me that, well, you could trade him, 0:15:06.520 --> 0:15:07.880 you could do this, you could do that, and he goes. 0:15:08.160 --> 0:15:09.760 Guy told me, he says, listen, you try and trade 0:15:09.760 --> 0:15:11.800 this guy. He's gonna retire. He didn't want it. He's 0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:14.560 not interested in going on and doing something else. You know, 0:15:14.640 --> 0:15:17.440 he's got he's gonna play and then when it's over, 0:15:17.520 --> 0:15:19.880 it's over. Over. Here's what's not gonna happen. And this 0:15:19.960 --> 0:15:21.880 is the luxury the Cowboys have. I mean, we saw 0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:24.640 an eight and one Vikings team that lost their left 0:15:24.680 --> 0:15:27.000 tackle in the middle of the game and then it 0:15:27.080 --> 0:15:29.760 was over. Michael Parsons was dealing with a knee injury 0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:31.280 and he still was going to come back because he 0:15:31.360 --> 0:15:34.400 had to rush. There's like a turnstyle there at left 0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:37.240 tackle that won't happen here. If Tyre Tyren Smith gets 0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:41.120 her backup is Peters or the backup is Tyler's, they 0:15:41.240 --> 0:15:43.920 have they have way more depth in which they're gonna 0:15:43.920 --> 0:15:45.640 need and that's the best part of the whole thing. 0:15:45.680 --> 0:15:47.080 All Right, we're gonna chack our first break and we 0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:49.240 come back from the bank. We're gonna get into some 0:15:49.480 --> 0:15:51.360 talk on the Giants versus the Cowboys. We'll do that 0:15:51.360 --> 0:15:54.760 when we come back Dallas Cowboys dot Com Radio.

What do 0:19:25.800 --> 0:19:27.879 you want to know this last they've lost two of 0:19:27.920 --> 0:19:31.359 the last three, um, and they're starting to suck like 0:19:31.400 --> 0:19:34.840 I thought they were. Well seriously, because they're really not 0:19:34.880 --> 0:19:37.399 that good. The Giants are not that good. They're not 0:19:37.440 --> 0:19:41.480
