On a year and a half ago, Kent 0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:16.600 Garrison actually said, do you know they're coming out with 0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:18.520 a Rick Flair thirty for thirty And I was like, no, 0:01:18.600 --> 0:01:20.759 they're not. It's like, yeah, they are, and they've been 0:01:21.400 --> 0:01:24.000 the hell out of it. Oh my god. I mean 0:01:24.160 --> 0:01:25.880 when you do that, when you gotta promote it, because 0:01:25.920 --> 0:01:29.120 it's it's almost like ESPN screaming like we we cover 0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:31.720 wrestling too, Like you know, you don't have to watch 0:01:31.800 --> 0:01:34.080 Monday Night Raw, you can watch us. That's gonna be awesome. 0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:36.160 The amazing part about it is that people that have 0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:38.679 been watching wrestling for a long time, they're watching this 0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:41.280 thing because Rick Flair. I mean, like that's wrestling. Yeah, 0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:43.440 we were kids, definitely that was wrestling. You know, I 0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:46.080 have three of those little wrestling figures up on my 0:01:46.160 --> 0:01:49.400 desk up in my office. He's one of them or 0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:52.880 the other two, uh sting, which you know he's a 0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:56.040 fan of of the Dallas Cowboys. Yeah show yeah. And 0:01:56.080 --> 0:01:59.360 then of course the all time greatest Randy matchamat Savage 0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:02.440 for a minute, am I cooking. Let me take a 0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:07.760 look at this. Huh, very coy. A lot of charisma, 0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:10.680 the most well knowing, the best looking, the best dress, 0:02:10.840 --> 0:02:13.679 custom made, the longest drop of all time. Role I 0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:18.680 watch ramas. Can you tell kens excited? He's excited, But 0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:21.040 he cannot be the most excited on our staff about this. 0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:23.680 I would think it has to be Rob, right. Rob's 0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:26.520 probably the biggest wrestling fan in our group. Right, Rob's 0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:29.560 the biggest. No, He's one of the biggest wrestling fans 0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:31.960 I've ever met in my life. Yeah, right, like not 0:02:32.240 --> 0:02:35.560 our group. I mean you just be like in the world. Yeah, 0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:39.440 WrestleMania nineteen, he'd be like Toronto Triple H against the 0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:46.639 Rock loser leaves Town match or something whatever. Yeah, all 0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:50.080 of us today, Okay, all right, let's get back barrass anyone. 0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:57.399 But does everyone know Rick Flair? No? I never would 0:02:57.440 --> 0:02:59.360 have guessed that we would start this show off with 0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:02.959 with Rick Flair. Pro wrestling. Yeah, but hey works, Hey, 0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:05.600 most pro wrestlers used to be football players. So they're 0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:08.359 talking a lot talking. Actually had sting on last year. 0:03:08.639 --> 0:03:10.760 Let's oh yeah, when he was here, he was on 0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:14.440 talking Cowboys. Look that up? Yeah, look that up? Yeah, 0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:16.520 all right, all right, let's get into let's talk some 0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:20.720 Cowboys we've got. You look at the NFC East right now, 0:03:20.760 --> 0:03:23.480 Cowboys are sitting in second place. They are at the 0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:27.120 moment a wildcard team. You got the Philadelphia Eagles in 0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:28.960 first place at eight and one. They'll have a bye 0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:31.120 this week. Cowboys are at five and three, will go 0:03:31.160 --> 0:03:35.080 to Atlanta. Washington at four and four plays Minnesota. That'll 0:03:35.120 --> 0:03:37.080 be a tough game. Minnesota now at six and two 0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:40.280 and leading their division. And then of course the Giants, 0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:42.520 they're one and seven and they'll be facing the OE 0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:44.920 nine San Francisco forty nine. Is that should be fun? 0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:48.080 That's my steam. Somebody will be watching that, I'm sure. 0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:50.440 All right. So here's the interesting part though, when you 0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:52.880 start looking at the wildcard race and some of the 0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:55.680 teams that are involved there. Right now, Carolina is the 0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:58.160 other wild card team at six and three. But listen 0:03:58.200 --> 0:03:59.880 to these other teams that are kind of in that 0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:02.600 mixed with the Cowboys and the and the Panthers. You 0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:05.600 got Seattle at five and three, got Atlanta at four 0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:09.640 and four, Washington and Arizona at four and four, Detroit 0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:11.720 at four and four, and Green Bay at four and four. 0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:14.200 And the best part about that for the Cowboys is 0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:16.880 there's only one team in that mix that has a 0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:18.640 head to head tie break over them, and it's the 0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:20.640 one that's going the opposite way, which is Green Bay 0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:23.599 at four and four. The rest of these teams either 0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:26.360 the Cowboys have already beaten them or the Cowboys play 0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:29.680 them at some point this season. So everything sits right 0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:32.080 in front of the Cowboys. Here's the question for you guys. 0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:34.680 Who scares you? You You look around the NFC right now. 0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:37.520 Aaron Rodgers is obviously out of the mix. Who scares 0:04:37.520 --> 0:04:39.520 you in the NFC at this point? That's second circuit 0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:42.960 cord or something like that. Yeah, that's that's the scariest 0:04:42.960 --> 0:04:45.680 thing you gotta face. Three judge three judge panel in 0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:48.440 New York is pretty scary. Yeah, that that right there. 0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:50.640 And I'm not trying to funny. That's it's true. That 0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:53.559 is true. I mean because we feel like with Zeke 0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:57.240 and they can they can compete with it. I mean 0:04:57.279 --> 0:05:01.480 they can beat anyone handily. Really, um Dick can compete 0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:04.880 with anyone for sure on any place. And and we 0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:07.080 know that this league now is and I said to 0:05:07.080 --> 0:05:09.839 the other day, it's it's becoming a sixty forty league 0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:12.280 for fans. So you got to go on the road 0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:14.080 and win, but you'll have fans there at home. You 0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:16.080 got to deal with it, you know. I mean Dak's 0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:19.080 trying to like quiet the crowd and like that only 0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:21.800 down in that chief's end zone. Like that didn't help, 0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:25.120 you know. So I'm just saying this team has a 0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:29.359 chance to win with Zeke, but with who scares you? 0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:31.599 I don't know. I'll let Dave answer that. Who's who 0:05:31.640 --> 0:05:35.599 scares this team? Well, our listeners have let me know 0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:38.719 how much they don't appreciate how much I respect Aaron Rodgers, 0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:43.640 which so he's not an option. So if teams that 0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:47.040 have just like next level Hall of Fame caliber quarterback 0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:49.120 player are always going to worry me, Like that's the 0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:52.040 great equalizer, which so gods are one in seven day, 0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:55.960 I know that there's another team though there's another team, 0:05:56.160 --> 0:06:00.600 which honestly I don't. Oh, I don't so this point 0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:03.360 believe that they're as good as that six game winning 0:06:03.400 --> 0:06:08.200 streak indicates. But the Saints are rolling, and when they are, 0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:11.200 that Superdome is a tough place to play. Is he 0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:13.600 the only quarterback that's that's in the NFC, that's kind 0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:16.600 of in the hunt right now, that is better than 0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:21.880 Dack definitively, Yes, I mean, I mean there are other guys. 0:06:21.920 --> 0:06:23.599 You would say it's right there with Zak, and you 0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:27.360 can kind of Carson Carson Wentz is playing better than 0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:31.160 Dak because he's doing it there. Their success is a 0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:33.800 lot of because of him. Cowboy success is a lot 0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:36.479 of him and Zeke. But this, this goes back to 0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:38.559 the conversation we had two or three weeks ago, which 0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:43.480 Breeze is probably the only guy in the NFC that 0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:47.080 is inarguably a better quarterback than Dak. I think Russell 0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:50.440 Wilson probably deserves getting there. He deserves some credit there. 0:06:50.800 --> 0:06:52.840 And if you just want to talk resume, then you 0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:55.240 gotta throw Eli in there. And but he's not in 0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:58.119 the mixing right No, Yeah, but I mean he's about 0:06:58.120 --> 0:07:00.280 his out of it as Rogers Breeze. Bree he's in 0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:04.120 RUSS I think, or unless I'm just really forgetting that. 0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:06.400 I mean, he's a guy that's taking his team to 0:07:06.400 --> 0:07:08.440 the super Bowl. We had this conversation though, like he's 0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:11.920 Doctor Jekyl and mister High. Yes he can be now 0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:17.360 old song, Oh, But who's who says that though? Is 0:07:17.400 --> 0:07:22.480 it Teddy Riley? I think it's Teddy Riley. Matt Matt Ryan, 0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:24.680 and Matt Stafford are probably on that list too, honestly. 0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:28.120 I mean, you're just talking about playing the quarterback position. 0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:31.440 What they've done and what they can do. You can 0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:33.520 say that they're better than Dak right now, but I 0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:36.240 mean Dak is trending that way, and I'm certainly I'm 0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:40.680 not willing to concede on the Dak Wentz argument anytime soon. 0:07:40.760 --> 0:07:44.680 I mean, that's gonna be fascinating but also annoying for 0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:48.040 like the next decade. It's that debate quarterbacks. It's kind 0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:49.400 of funny when you when you have one that you 0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:53.600 really like, you might argue, Okay, this guy's better, his 0:07:53.640 --> 0:07:56.760 resume is better, or he's playing better, but you're not 0:07:56.840 --> 0:07:59.520 trading anyone for him like you wouldn't. There's no one 0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:04.160 that's the end exactly. That's a trade for Dak talking 0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:09.440 about for a game a season, for a season. That's 0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:11.560 I guess that's kind of my I mean, the only thing, 0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:13.840 the only one that came to my mind was Stafford 0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:15.520 because I think he's in the prime of his career. 0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:17.960 And I think he is right now, of all those 0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:21.640 guys you mentioned, I think he's probably he's right up 0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:23.280 there with the way he plays and how much has 0:08:23.320 --> 0:08:25.160 heaped on him to be able to get his team 0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:27.600 to win. Yeah, I think he's up there with those 0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:30.200 those Yeah, you're right. I probably would trade for Stafford 0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:34.000 two for one. And I'm not saying I would. That 0:08:34.040 --> 0:08:36.160 just gave me pause, Like that's the guy I think 0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:38.240 about it. You're right, he does a lot with less 0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:40.600 I mean, you know, it's like, oh, there's up doing 0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:42.880 it back there fumbling the ball in my fantasy game 0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:46.080 away and umtually one lesson the guy that was I 0:08:46.120 --> 0:08:48.800 was playing against was ahead of me and then he fumbled. 0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:51.360 You're talking about your fantasy game right now. Absolutely am 0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:53.800 and awful. Radio. I don't care what you have to 0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:57.480 say about that, Mara. Yes, I would ask y'all to 0:08:57.520 --> 0:08:59.319 do that. I didn't ask y'all to do either. We 0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:01.600 talk about her lives day, We do talk about our 0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:04.840 lives fantasy football and can be. I don't think they do. 0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:07.400 They absolutely do. You know, it's it's a big deal 0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:12.440 for them mud hounds and mad dogs. What the mudhounds? 0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:15.559 What a mad dog about your awful fantasy team, the 0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:18.480 mad Dogs, mad Hounds dog whatever they are, what is 0:09:18.480 --> 0:09:22.439 it mad hounds? Excuse me, the mud hounds, the mud 0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:25.520 mad Dogs. We were right there. We were close. The 0:09:25.600 --> 0:09:30.160 winning is team in all football.

She played last year, Yeah, last year. 0:09:40.640 --> 0:09:44.120 It's too stressful. Yeah, it's because we did an auction league. 0:09:44.640 --> 0:09:48.080 I'll never do that again. That ever, that sucks. Ever. 0:09:48.160 --> 0:09:49.960 All right, here's what we're gonna do. I want to 0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:52.040 because it's the midway point of the season. I have 0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:53.560 some questions for you guys. We're gonna do like a 0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:56.760 mid season recap, and these questions again, are gonna be 0:09:57.080 --> 0:09:59.839 big picture questions about this team.

All right, so' gonna start 0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:13.400 the first question.

The answer Sean there you go. Yeah, the 0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:27.360 answer is Shaun, which is on this side of the table. Yeah, 0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:29.920 am Er, what do you think you agree with that? Well? 0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:34.000 I think Sean Lee, Yeah, you've it's been super noticeable 0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:37.199 the impact that he can make in this defense, especially 0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:39.320 you know when he's not there, you see how much 0:10:39.360 --> 0:10:41.560 that affects the team. But at the same time, I 0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:45.520 would say de Marcus Lawrence, he came this season, he 0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:48.280 came in doing so well that I think it just 0:10:48.320 --> 0:10:51.280 feeds off everyone else on the line and it helps 0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:54.160 everyone everyone, you know, play better. And I think he 0:10:54.280 --> 0:10:56.839 was a great impact. He's been great as well, No 0:10:57.040 --> 0:10:59.400 doubt you can make an impact for all three because 0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:03.040 David this defense is now take it to the next level. 0:11:03.080 --> 0:11:06.160 Since he's gotten here, he's got what six sacks in 0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:09.040 what three four d four four games? Yeah, he's on 0:11:09.200 --> 0:11:11.640 pace for like eighteen or something like that. I mean, 0:11:11.720 --> 0:11:15.000 it's that's amazing. And then you know DeMarcus has done 0:11:15.000 --> 0:11:17.080 and he's I don't think he's leading the league anymore 0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:18.880 in sacks, but I mean he's right there. He's only 0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:21.640 half off Yeah, he's he's right there. He's played outstanding. 0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:24.400 I can't believe he couldn't get eight straight to start 0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:28.400 the season. At his first game with no sacks came 0:11:28.520 --> 0:11:31.760 after Halloween like that. Just it's remarkable when you put 0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:34.960 it in that perspective. But I really am at the 0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:37.560 point they would have won at least one of those games, 0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:39.320 Rams or Packers. They would have won at least one 0:11:39.360 --> 0:11:41.040 if Shanley had been on the field. I really do 0:11:41.080 --> 0:11:43.320 believe that. Definitely agree with you, I really do. I 0:11:43.360 --> 0:11:46.240 mean just probably probably the Rams game. Probably the Rams, 0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:49.200 but one way or the other, I really think that 0:11:49.240 --> 0:11:51.719 would have made I mean, you're talking about razor thin 0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:54.920 margin of error. Like if he makes three plays, I 0:11:54.920 --> 0:11:58.080 mean he sniffs out a screen to Kareem Hunt that 0:11:58.200 --> 0:12:00.480 might have gone for a seventy yard touchdown, and he 0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:03.640 had at least one tackle for loss on Tyreek Hill 0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:05.920 two on one of those care I mean, those players 0:12:06.000 --> 0:12:09.080 make difference. That's the difference between Todd Gurley splitting the 0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:11.880 defense going fifty three yards for a touchdown. Aaron Jones 0:12:11.960 --> 0:12:14.040 is his name, Aaron Jones the Packers. I just don't 0:12:14.120 --> 0:12:16.440 see one hundred and fifteen yards out of him. With 0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:18.560 Sean Lee out there, I mean, I just don't. I 0:12:18.640 --> 0:12:22.280 just think he'll stop the drive earlier, they'll sniff that 0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:25.840 stuff out. And but yeah, so to me, the answer 0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:28.320 is Sean Lee. But those other two guys are really good. 0:12:28.400 --> 0:12:31.400 It really illuminates how much injuries just matters so much 0:12:31.480 --> 0:12:34.040 just one guy. Because even think about this, like you 0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:36.839 take you take right now, Aaron Rodgers obviously out that 0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:38.520 team would have been right up there at the top 0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:41.079 of the NFC in my opinion, and right now they 0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:43.240 are going the other way, and they're the way they 0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:45.160 look last night. It's hard for me to fathom them 0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:48.280 even making the playoffs. There I'm I'm stealing. I'm stealing 0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:50.760 this line from r. J o'choa, who's one of the 0:12:50.880 --> 0:12:54.080 you know cowboys. He covers the Cowboys. He does really 0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:55.960 good job of it, for whatever that's worth, but he 0:12:56.480 --> 0:12:59.760 the twenty seventeen Packers are the twenty fifteen Cowboys. Like 0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:02.840 watching that team last and just trying to make it 0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:05.439 work with less than great quarterback play. You've got some 0:13:05.480 --> 0:13:07.679 playmakers on defense who are trying to make it work. 0:13:07.760 --> 0:13:09.280 But I mean, it's not like they got their doors 0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:11.280 blown off in that game last night. But you just 0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:13.719 you gotta have quarterback play in this league. You have 0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:18.360 to ye, all right. Next question, who was or will 0:13:18.440 --> 0:13:22.120 be missed more David Irving during the first four games 0:13:22.120 --> 0:13:25.160 of the season or Brian Price during the rest of 0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:28.880 the season. I think it. I think Brian Price has 0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:31.600 been playing well and they are thin at one tech, 0:13:31.679 --> 0:13:33.920 and you know, depending on what they do here, that 0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:37.720 could be something that matters. But I'm not I'm not 0:13:37.760 --> 0:13:40.000 ready to give him that kind of status just yet 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:41.560 to where you know, I don't know that it's going 0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:44.000 to drastically change what the defense looks like without him. 0:13:44.160 --> 0:13:48.000 They signed Nick Haden yet, Is Nick Hayden still around? 0:13:48.520 --> 0:13:51.440 Is he available? I do wonder about that though, I mean, 0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:53.360 logic I don't know if he's around. I don't know. 0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:56.400 Logic says you would sign Lewis Neil because he's not 0:13:56.400 --> 0:13:58.679 a one time I know that's but you carried him 0:13:58.720 --> 0:14:00.520 on your practice squad, you liked him enough to keep 0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:02.959 him around. You almost put him on your fifty three. 0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:06.360 And these guys always tend to favor their guys more 0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:09.800 than somebody else's guy. But he really doesn't fit what 0:14:09.840 --> 0:14:11.960 they need right right, and That's exactly why I asked 0:14:11.960 --> 0:14:13.920 this question the way that I did. I think conventional 0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:16.319 wisdom would say it's David Irving. But I think when 0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:18.160 you look at the way this team is constructed, and 0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:19.960 you look at what they have on their practice squad, 0:14:20.360 --> 0:14:23.200 Brian Price really was their big body. They don't have 0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:26.560 other big bodies. I actually have Ash now, Yeah, but 0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:28.520 I don't think he's the same Like I don't. I 0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:30.840 don't see him as like you look at Brian Price. 0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:33.640 He is just a mean, he's a just a massive 0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:36.360 dude can full of dirt. Yeah, and they don't have 0:14:36.400 --> 0:14:38.160 it doesn't seem like even Ash. I don't think it's 0:14:38.240 --> 0:14:40.920 that kind of guy, Like he's not that big. And 0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:43.880 and I just I was actually hoping before this game, 0:14:43.920 --> 0:14:46.320 I was saying I really wanted them to do more 0:14:46.400 --> 0:14:49.880 with keeping Brian Price in there and rotating Malie Collins 0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:52.120 at three technique with David Irving because I thought you 0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:54.120 would get more out of Malie Collins, you know. But 0:14:54.560 --> 0:14:56.600 I think right now, I just I don't like what 0:14:56.680 --> 0:14:59.080 they have left at at the one technique. I don't 0:14:59.080 --> 0:15:00.600 think they have a guy that really these just a 0:15:01.040 --> 0:15:03.960 you know, basically suck up two blockers and consistently be 0:15:04.000 --> 0:15:05.640 able to hold a point of attack like that. Well, 0:15:05.720 --> 0:15:07.680 let me throw this out. Let me rephrase what I 0:15:07.720 --> 0:15:12.320 was trying to say. It's Tuesday morning, and we haven't 0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:17.400 heard anything about workouts, which we probably would have if 0:15:17.400 --> 0:15:20.600 that was normally happen. Yeah, like tuesdays, that off day 0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:23.120 they get into practice tomorrow, this would be the day 0:15:23.160 --> 0:15:25.240 that they'd be working guys out if they were planning 0:15:25.240 --> 0:15:28.640 on signing somebody from outside. And maybe they will, but 0:15:28.960 --> 0:15:32.160 typically we hear about those types of things late Monday night, 0:15:32.200 --> 0:15:35.120 early Tuesday morning, and I haven't heard anything. No, I 0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:38.200 haven't heard anything about a workout. But don't forget that 0:15:38.320 --> 0:15:41.040 they have worked out guys on a regular basis. And 0:15:41.440 --> 0:15:43.720 you know, I'm sure they're keeping track on these, you know, 0:15:43.800 --> 0:15:46.600 defensive tackle or if there was one in the last 0:15:46.640 --> 0:15:48.720 few weeks. So, okay, this guy's good or not. I 0:15:48.800 --> 0:15:51.320 just wonder, and again I could be wrong. Maybe they'll 0:15:51.320 --> 0:15:52.960 work a guy out, maybe they'll just bring a guy in. 0:15:53.040 --> 0:15:55.840 But you've got Irving who can play tackle, You've got 0:15:55.880 --> 0:15:58.480 Tyrone who can move inside. You've still got Malik and 0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:02.000 Ash there. You could call up Neil and I'll say 0:16:02.040 --> 0:16:03.560 it for the million of time, even though they don't 0:16:03.560 --> 0:16:05.240 want to do it. You could also play Taco at 0:16:05.280 --> 0:16:08.240 tackle if you wanted to. So they got the options. 0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:10.520 They don't have that big body. I agree with you, 0:16:10.600 --> 0:16:15.040 But well, they'll keep they'll keep having. The assumption will 0:16:15.040 --> 0:16:17.280 be they'll keep Malik at one technique. He'll still be 0:16:17.280 --> 0:16:19.480 your one technique. Ash will be a guy that rotates 0:16:19.520 --> 0:16:21.120 there with him at one technic. Right, and then you 0:16:21.160 --> 0:16:24.800 can Neil probably gonna if he gets thirty one teams 0:16:24.800 --> 0:16:26.920 out there with the practice squad of ten guys, I 0:16:27.000 --> 0:16:29.760 guarantee there's a big body out there. I would take him. 0:16:30.280 --> 0:16:32.960 Just just just go grab a big body. Yeah, he's 0:16:33.000 --> 0:16:34.520 got to be on your roster for three weeks, but 0:16:34.600 --> 0:16:37.640 that's okay because Brian Price is going to be you know, 0:16:37.800 --> 0:16:40.920 on ir. Yeah, I'd be interested. I mean, Malik has 0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:43.880 been playing one and Ash can play one. Maybe call 0:16:43.960 --> 0:16:46.080 up call up my guy, the LSU guy, and see 0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:47.880 if he dish the past. I mean, I mean Jay 0:16:47.960 --> 0:16:51.920 Ratliffe was an undersized guy too. And I mean I'm 0:16:52.000 --> 0:16:54.120 not to sound, you know, like Lou Holtz here, but 0:16:54.200 --> 0:16:56.760 I'm just saying, you know, you can't underestimate the guy's heart. 0:16:56.800 --> 0:16:59.280 I mean, he this guy's here. You got it this far, 0:16:59.480 --> 0:17:01.160 and I know that. You can just see him in 0:17:01.160 --> 0:17:03.240 the locker room talking. This is talking about Lewis Neil. 0:17:03.600 --> 0:17:06.600 He's chopping at the bit to get out there. I 0:17:06.640 --> 0:17:09.640 don't I don't mean, who's to say that he won't 0:17:09.760 --> 0:17:11.879 do something? And I get well, and I guess my 0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:13.720 point is you don't have to call him up to 0:17:13.800 --> 0:17:16.040 play one because that's where the injury was. You can 0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:18.080 play him at three and have some other guys. It's 0:17:18.160 --> 0:17:20.639 kind of massage it a little bit, but he can 0:17:20.720 --> 0:17:22.560 do something. All right. We're gonna take our first break. 0:17:22.560 --> 0:17:24.760 When we come back, we'll continue this game.
