Speaker 1: We've been doing this eighty times, now, eighty one times.
Speaker 1: Ye Never have I had more people hit me up
Speaker 1: on Twitter view of the I'm sorry and they're right.
Speaker 1: They're right because if you would have asked me the
Speaker 1: greatest play in Cowboys history, in my opinion, it would
Speaker 1: be Alvin Harper's play against them. Not Hell Marris. No,
Speaker 1: not to me, not because I watched it. Yeah, nineteen
Speaker 1: eighty I mean, I mean the eighty Alvin Harper to
Speaker 1: play seventy two yards against the forty nine ers, that
Speaker 1: that would just that what kind of propelled them to
Speaker 1: a dynasty. I loved Alvin Harper. I loved his game.
Speaker 1: I just kind of I just overlooked it yesterday. And
Speaker 1: so all these people that hit me up yesterday, I
Speaker 1: apologize eighty all right, eighty one. Don't say it. Don't
Speaker 1: say it. Don't say it. Don't even use him. Give
Speaker 1: me another one. I don't want that one. I give
Speaker 1: that one back. Give me another one. Oh, peerless price?
Speaker 1: Maybe really Laurn Robinson. He busted out eleven touchdown. He
Speaker 1: actually had one of those years where he got paid
Speaker 1: off that year. Yeah, yeah, he got a nice deal
Speaker 1: for another team. Yeah, that year he had here. I
Speaker 1: guess I thought, you're gonna say your boy, James Whyland
Speaker 1: mean trust me, Chris, I can do. I can wait
Speaker 1: like four more times with him. Because he passed around.
Speaker 1: He weren't more numbers than anybody. Yeah, all right, I'll
Speaker 1: take my popcorn somewhere else. All right, you weren't going
Speaker 1: for it, you're not having it. Whatever. Great player, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was a great player. He was great drama. Do
Speaker 1: you know who we're talking to the drama. Nope, popcorn,
Speaker 1: get your popcorn ready? What about Jackie Smith? Oh? I remember?
Speaker 1: Because who was it that Maine a comment about it?
Speaker 1: Was it Celee that one time kind of set a
Speaker 1: comment like that too, was it? Do I say something
Speaker 1: about that? Lately? Somebody said popcorn? I forgot who it
Speaker 1: was it was recently said it? We're talking about Arrell?
Speaker 1: Was that Jerry on his radio show the other day? Maybe?
Speaker 1: Well there was somebody else's I'm pretty sure it was
Speaker 1: Celee Lamb earlier in the year that he said get
Speaker 1: your popcorn ready in reference to the three wide receivers
Speaker 1: playing together and all that, something like that. Yeah, old
Speaker 1: Terrell Lawns. He was different. Yeah, no, Jackie Smith. And
Speaker 1: nobody wants to hear Jackie. People would rather hear to
Speaker 1: than hear Jackie Smith, Who's in the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1: So it's hey, look, don't get me wrong. TiO was
Speaker 1: a really good player and really good player here to
Speaker 1: was just one of those guys that it was always
Speaker 1: you were kind of weighing that balance between his talent
Speaker 1: and the drama he brought, right and whatever point, the
Speaker 1: talent was not enough to overcome the drama. Then he
Speaker 1: had to be out, And that's the hard part for
Speaker 1: guys like that, Like he probably could have played here,
Speaker 1: He probably could have had a much longer career if
Speaker 1: the drama didn't always seem to follow him. I'll tell
Speaker 1: you I've played basketball with him. I've shot some hoops
Speaker 1: with him. Before the game in Carolina in two thousand
Speaker 1: and seven, our hotel had a basketball court and went
Speaker 1: up there and were shooting with another guy who covers.
Speaker 1: He used to cover the team, and we were shooting
Speaker 1: and it was just three of us, two basketballs, and
Speaker 1: you know, TiO had his own ball. You know how
Speaker 1: maybe you miss, you know, then you know you don't
Speaker 1: get changed. You know, he get the ball. But with TiO,
Speaker 1: we were just send it back to him, you know,
Speaker 1: and he was like, noah, man, let's just shoots. So
Speaker 1: it was good. And then all of a sudden we
Speaker 1: had to go to the bus and all that, and
Speaker 1: then he went and played the game and got hurt
Speaker 1: and hurt that night. Certainly didn't get hurt before, right, No,
Speaker 1: it got hurt that making sure. Yeah, So basically I
Speaker 1: got pink eye that night. Two that night, I got
Speaker 1: pink eye, And yeah, it was a bad day. It
Speaker 1: was bad. Yeah, it was a bad day on the plane.
Speaker 1: Like I don't know what that story looks like, but
Speaker 1: I was trying to write after the game with Pink Eye, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was gonna say he actually didn't really play together.
Speaker 1: He basically was just around picking up probably true. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there was no one on one with with TiO or
Speaker 1: anything like that. Speaking of basketball, one of the best
Speaker 1: basketball game pick up basketball games I ever saw in
Speaker 1: my life. And I think I've told you this story before.
Speaker 1: It happened at training camp years ago. I was my
Speaker 1: room was like literally there was this little area in
Speaker 1: the restricted area of the of Oxnart where we where
Speaker 1: we stay, where they had a basketball goal that would
Speaker 1: sit there at the end, and every once in a
Speaker 1: while guys would come out there and play a little bit.
Speaker 1: But I was already getting ready for bed, and all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, I'm hearing all this noise and that
Speaker 1: the players had gotten out of their night meetings and
Speaker 1: a pickup basketball game and gotten started. And Tony's out there,
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley's out there, Daz is out there. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's like all the players are out there, and it
Speaker 1: was a battle. I when I tell you they were
Speaker 1: battling back when I sat there at my window because
Speaker 1: I was on the second floor. I sat there in
Speaker 1: my window and watched the game because that's how entertainment
Speaker 1: it was. Yeah, did you see it too. I kind
Speaker 1: of came out of there because it was there. Was
Speaker 1: one of those same people were talking about. Yeah it was.
Speaker 1: It was a good and you could hear it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you definitely heard was there. Yeah, so you can definite right,
Speaker 1: so you knew something was there. And then uh and
Speaker 1: Sean Lee I believe, Yeah, John was out there a payer.
Speaker 1: But all of them, like I was like, but this
Speaker 1: just tells you how great athletes Like I saw my
Speaker 1: wife this other day, Like, there is no guy that's
Speaker 1: playing professional football, professional basketball that is not a great,
Speaker 1: I mean, an outstanding athlete. People would like to say, oh,
Speaker 1: he's he's crap, he's trash whatever. Trust me, none of
Speaker 1: these guys are trash. These are these are top world
Speaker 1: class athletes. And all you gotta do is watch him
Speaker 1: do other things that are athletic and you'll see just
Speaker 1: how athletic. They saw that firsthand. We played flag football
Speaker 1: back in the day. Um Tony was on that team
Speaker 1: for a little bit and no one even knew him.
Speaker 1: But that wasn't what I remember the most. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: I do remember that in the most because he was
Speaker 1: a quarterback. But he was a great defensive player too.
Speaker 1: But Marcus Steele an back, Yeah, fourth round pig usc
Speaker 1: wasn't that grade. It was Okay, he comes out playing
Speaker 1: with us. Dude was a baller, like as a as
Speaker 1: a receiver. I mean, I mean that he was a
Speaker 1: pretty big linebacker. He wasn't a little used to have
Speaker 1: a show called Pros Versus Joe's, Yeah, and it was
Speaker 1: that's what it was. I mean, Marcus Steele was just
Speaker 1: just Andy mosson people us out there. You know, he
Speaker 1: was on our team. But that that was a good
Speaker 1: example of like these guys are just they're differently phenomenal athletes.
Speaker 1: Phenomenal were named. Yeah, all right, so here, let's go
Speaker 1: into let's get some injury updates here. What do you
Speaker 1: know about Tony Pollard At this point, I think Tony
Speaker 1: polar I mean, it looks like it's going to go
Speaker 1: down to the end again, but I mean it sounds
Speaker 1: like it's kind of progressing. I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I didn't get a chance to listen to McCarthy there,
Speaker 1: and I know we're still we're still listen to it now,
Speaker 1: but like sounds like from this morning that that is
Speaker 1: still like they're kind of ramping it up where he's
Speaker 1: going to get at least a chance to do it.
Speaker 1: Now he'll be on the field before the game. I
Speaker 1: bet it comes right down to it again. It's all
Speaker 1: about the comfort level of how he's feeling pretty much
Speaker 1: that day. Yeah, when it's when it's a torn plant
Speaker 1: or fascia, you might know more about this side. I
Speaker 1: don't know a ton about it. I don't. It sounds
Speaker 1: like it's a pain management kind of thing. It is
Speaker 1: that I've always been to pain tolerance, pain tolerance and
Speaker 1: also but from what I've heard of like that one,
Speaker 1: the one that he has is the time that if
Speaker 1: you like keep walking on it too much or whatever,
Speaker 1: you can make it actually worse. Really, Yeah, that's what
Speaker 1: I've read somewhere and heard about his specific one. Because
Speaker 1: you can have one that it's just pain related, but
Speaker 1: I believe that his, if he gets out there too
Speaker 1: soon or whatever, he can actually just make it worse.
Speaker 1: Clementins the Giants, I mean, I don't mean I don't
Speaker 1: need to tell you wouldn't even would you just not
Speaker 1: even chance to just be like give him another week? Why,
Speaker 1: I mean, you do want to clench this thing. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't think it's good. We're gonna get in that
Speaker 1: a little later. There are all some scenarios, but go ahead,
Speaker 1: he can need a whole segment if you need a lot. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're gonna go down that thing. I'm gonna make Amber
Speaker 1: pick all the games too. I mean, I just if
Speaker 1: in that case, in that scenario, making it worse, I'm not.
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not in the business of making it worse.
Speaker 1: So I could beat the Giants on the road and
Speaker 1: then I'm not saying that it's gonna be a cakewalk
Speaker 1: or whatever. But I think you if you could beat
Speaker 1: Washington on the road without him, I think you can
Speaker 1: beat the Giants. Yeah. So no, I'm not risking it.
Speaker 1: I mean division games or division games, there's no such
Speaker 1: things an easy division game. But I get your point
Speaker 1: out Pride. They hate the Cowboys. I mean, you know
Speaker 1: the fans that go to the game that are for
Speaker 1: the Giants. I mean, it'll it'll it'll be a I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna say it's a battle. I think they're gonna
Speaker 1: do the best they can. I just think the Cowboys
Speaker 1: are just head shoulders above them, and I don't think
Speaker 1: they're in they're in the boat right now that they're
Speaker 1: gonna be looking past anybody. I think we've kind of
Speaker 1: done that. I think they're gonna get their attention. And
Speaker 1: if they get their attention, and then we just think
Speaker 1: they're gonna get their best. I don't think the giants
Speaker 1: can hang in there. So we're just picking games right
Speaker 1: here for a segment. No we're not. But well we'll
Speaker 1: get to that. De Marcus Lawrence, tell what's going on
Speaker 1: with him? He dis practice yesterday or it was limited.
Speaker 1: I shouldn't let me, let me pull that stuff up.
Speaker 1: I don't pay attention to that kind of stuff. I
Speaker 1: gotta ask about Tank, and I was like, Tank, it
Speaker 1: was good. I don't honestly that that one caught me
Speaker 1: by surprise this morning. I didn't even know anything about
Speaker 1: the Marcus Lawrence. So I need David here to mess
Speaker 1: with all. He's the one that's been talking to coach
Speaker 1: here for the last what thirty minutes, forty five minutes?
Speaker 1: I guess let's let's wait on a tank update. Okay,
Speaker 1: I did hear them this morning. They'll say Cedric Wilson.
Speaker 1: Wilson sounds like there's a possibility he could be back
Speaker 1: at practice today. He's out right now with COVID. I
Speaker 1: assume there's a test that he's gonna have to pass.
Speaker 1: He's negative, but it sounds like there's a possibility a chance. Okay,
Speaker 1: I know they have the new protocols coming out, or
Speaker 1: they they're out. I guess. Yeah. One of them was
Speaker 1: that you only have to pass one test. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: those new protocols. I guess they asked him about that,
Speaker 1: and he said, I'm not that's not necessarily what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: What I'm saying is based on where he is and
Speaker 1: in the protocol he is, there's a possibility that he
Speaker 1: can be back. He didn't. I was. I think he
Speaker 1: was being very careful not to say one of the
Speaker 1: other ways, the old protocol, new protocol. He just said,
Speaker 1: based on what I've been told by Jim this morning,
Speaker 1: Jim Mauer, he says, it sounds like there's a chance
Speaker 1: that he could be back to it, which means it
Speaker 1: comes down to symptoms. I mean, it starts with symptoms.
Speaker 1: With players like that, because if they don't have symptoms,
Speaker 1: then that's the first thing, and then they got a
Speaker 1: past ten. It's just a test, not the other way around.
Speaker 1: It's it's the symptoms, sir. So he's if he symptom free, um,
Speaker 1: you know, that's that's obviously a good thing, and that'll
Speaker 1: be a good you know, he's a guy that he
Speaker 1: needs to play for this offense. I think he's a
Speaker 1: real big part of this offense, big part of the
Speaker 1: special teams. You know. He's just one of those glue
Speaker 1: guys that I always compared to Patrick Crayton. I think
Speaker 1: he's that type of guy, and I think those guys
Speaker 1: are important and more than anything else. I really at
Speaker 1: this point, with with all the challenges they're having right
Speaker 1: now on the offense, I want as many of the
Speaker 1: guys out there as possible because that all allows those repetitions,
Speaker 1: allow them to hopefully get back in that rhythm that
Speaker 1: they were having earlier in the season. And he's a
Speaker 1: part of that. So he's not a key cog. There
Speaker 1: are other guys that are more important, but I do
Speaker 1: think him having him in the mix, I think is
Speaker 1: a part of it. And I kind of wanted him
Speaker 1: to get back out there. I wanted to be out there,
Speaker 1: to be able to be playing tank. Yeah, tanks playing Okay, good,
Speaker 1: We're not a tank? All right? Good? Are we worried
Speaker 1: about anybody? No? Okay, can shoot? Even Cedric Wilson apparently
Speaker 1: might be back at work today. Um, I still don't
Speaker 1: feel great about that one. We'll see, we'll see better.
Speaker 1: I feel the same way that I have earlier this week,
Speaker 1: which is like not confident, but has anything changed in
Speaker 1: what he's doing or he had was limb. He participated
Speaker 1: in practice for the first time yesterday he was limited,
Speaker 1: which means he did something other than rehab on the side,
Speaker 1: So step in the right direction. Yeah, Nick was saying
Speaker 1: he thinks it, you know, if it was up to him,
Speaker 1: he just sent him this week, Like why mess with it?
Speaker 1: If given another week? If it's what Amber said, if
Speaker 1: it's a situation that it can get worse, if you
Speaker 1: get if you if you, you know, run on a
Speaker 1: walk on it. There is some talk too that if
Speaker 1: it tears, it's better, so more you. But he hasn't
Speaker 1: he torn it. I thought the way he was talking
Speaker 1: when he had his press conference, it sounded like it
Speaker 1: was already torn. He just wasn't seeing the benefit yet
Speaker 1: of it being torn, which waiting on it to feel better. Right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he was waiting for that point grimacing. Imagine imagining lang
Speaker 1: a professional sport with a torn anything. Yeah, but good
Speaker 1: for you, right. Pro football players are tough. Yeah, all right.
Speaker 1: What we're gonna do is we're gonna take our final
Speaker 1: break when we come back. I got some storylines we're
Speaker 1: going to talk through. Like final thing was that long
Speaker 1: first break? Sorry, first break. When we come back, we
Speaker 1: have some storyline items we're gonna get to and we
Speaker 1: will at some point in this show breakdown the scenario
Speaker 1: Cowboys have a chance this weekend. There is a chance
Speaker 1: Cowboys can wrap up the division. We'll talk about those scenarios.
Speaker 1: We'll get these guys to pick those games and what
Speaker 1: they think is gonna happen in all those games that
Speaker 1: have to fall Cowboys way. We'll talk about that when
Speaker 1: we come back. This is Dallas Cowboys dot Com Radio

Speaker 1: all right, Welcome back. It is the second segment of
Speaker 1: break off from WBC Morgage Studios at the Star where
Speaker 1: you're talking Cowboys versus Giants. They play the Sunday noon
Speaker 1: Central Time. We will get to a little later these
Speaker 1: scenarios that the Cowboys have or that that could possibly
Speaker 1: allow them to clinch the NFC East this weekend. But
Speaker 1: before we get to that, let's hit some of the
Speaker 1: storylines of this game. I think there's a lot of
Speaker 1: intrigue for me, at least on what's going to happen
Speaker 1: with the offensive line, because there could be some moving parts. Still,
Speaker 1: let's talk first about the left tackle position. Who do
Speaker 1: you think is the better option. I'm not saying necessarily
Speaker 1: who's going to be out there. I think we all
Speaker 1: know who's going to be out there, But who's the
Speaker 1: better option between Tie and Seki and Terrence Still at
Speaker 1: left tackle? I think it depends on what you're asking
Speaker 1: them to do. I think you're asking them to play
Speaker 1: the Giants. No, I'm like asking them what job you
Speaker 1: want them to do? Run blocking, verse, pass blocking. I
Speaker 1: think Inseci give him some credit, Like for as much
Speaker 1: as people dog him, he's gone in a couple times
Speaker 1: this season and held his own. He did it Sunday,
Speaker 1: he did it against He looked. I thought that. I
Speaker 1: thought Cooper Rush was gonna get killed in Minnesota when
Speaker 1: he first came in, and then he'd settled down and
Speaker 1: was great for the rest of that game. I think
Speaker 1: Tie and Secki gives you something as a pass protector
Speaker 1: better than what Steel can give you, at least comparable,
Speaker 1: if not outright better. Yes, I don't see them that
Speaker 1: much different from the each other. Yeah. I would go
Speaker 1: down to Kellen Moore and be like, what what are
Speaker 1: you going to do this week with Terrence Steele as
Speaker 1: far as the jumbo packages? Are you going to use him?
Speaker 1: Do you want that a part of your game? You know?
Speaker 1: If so, because because it's that close to me, it's
Speaker 1: the Inseci and Steel if it's that close. If it
Speaker 1: is that close, and then Steele helps be that extra
Speaker 1: tight end that reports eligible and all that stuff. Then
Speaker 1: I'm then I'm okay with with starting in Sechy. I'd
Speaker 1: be okay with that. Um, I don't think that's gonna happen.
Speaker 1: I think Steel's gonna start at left tackle though, that's
Speaker 1: what I think it all, But I no that I
Speaker 1: think he's right. I think Steele will start. I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna be surprised if they both have a role though,
Speaker 1: you think in that jumbo role or that pretty good
Speaker 1: the rotat them like they did, definitely jumbo and depending
Speaker 1: on the situation. I just I think we'll see both.
Speaker 1: I think we will era you do what you do
Speaker 1: the defensive line, same thing to say it doesn't work.
Speaker 1: All right, Let's talk about the guard position. There's been
Speaker 1: talk this week that the Cowboys should or could change
Speaker 1: the left guard. UM. Who do you think is to
Speaker 1: be at a better option there, Connor Williams or Conomal Governor.
Speaker 1: I think it's um. I think it's very similar, and
Speaker 1: I don't think the drop off is that severe. I
Speaker 1: think Connor Williams is a better athlete than Connor McGovern,
Speaker 1: at least when it comes to playing offensive line. I
Speaker 1: think Connor McGovern deserves a lot of credit for how
Speaker 1: well he's done that hulk thing the fullback basically, I
Speaker 1: mean it started out as kind of a joke, like, oh,
Speaker 1: Kellen's just showing off, but like he's pretty he's pretty good,
Speaker 1: like and that's an element that they haven't had, Like
Speaker 1: Connor Williams has kind of done it, but it's just
Speaker 1: not the same good and so I don't mean that. Like,
Speaker 1: obviously Connor McGovern is a great athlete in his own right,
Speaker 1: but I think Connor Williams as a guard gives you
Speaker 1: more athleticism. I don't think it's dan Orlovsky was talking
Speaker 1: about this this week and people were asking Kellen Moore
Speaker 1: questions about it, like they don't pull anymore since Connor
Speaker 1: McGovern became a starter, Like they don't do any plays
Speaker 1: that involve pulling or getting your guards out in space,
Speaker 1: which we know something Zach Martin can do. I think
Speaker 1: Connor Williams is better out it than Connor McGovern, and
Speaker 1: I also expect to see a change there. I think
Speaker 1: Connor Williams is going to start this week. We should
Speaker 1: the change. Yet left tackle with Tyron being out, affect
Speaker 1: the decision of what you do at left guard. I
Speaker 1: don't think so not anymore. I mean, you got to
Speaker 1: get the best guys out there. Not only that, but
Speaker 1: at this point, I think there should be plenty of
Speaker 1: reps between all these guys, Like, first of all, we
Speaker 1: know they rotate everybody anyway, Like Connor Williams has been
Speaker 1: getting reps throughout the season he was starting. He's still
Speaker 1: been getting reps while he's been on the bench. The
Speaker 1: same thing went for Connor McGovern, Like they were repping
Speaker 1: Connor McGovern with the starters during practice before he officially
Speaker 1: got the job. They've been doing this since July. I
Speaker 1: just think I'm not buying that in December as like
Speaker 1: a reason to be worried about. I just hate that
Speaker 1: we're all the way down in December, almost finishing up December,
Speaker 1: and we still don't really know what the best combination
Speaker 1: really is. I mean, we were here sitting talking about
Speaker 1: Connor Williams how he needs to get out of there,
Speaker 1: and then they finally eventually make that move, and then
Speaker 1: we don't necessarily like it either, and we're like, Okay,
Speaker 1: well that's not working out too well, not a big
Speaker 1: drop off like we said, But then we've seen the changes,
Speaker 1: like even running game, he just hasn't been the same.
Speaker 1: So it's just and I get it, like you're never
Speaker 1: gonna really know what's best until you actually go out
Speaker 1: and try it. But it sucks that it's happening at
Speaker 1: this time of the year where you're still kind of like, Okay, well,
Speaker 1: who are our best five? You know, I kind of
Speaker 1: wonder if we do know, Like the answer is there,
Speaker 1: It just isn't the answer we all want, which is,
Speaker 1: you know, the best five, but the best five isn't
Speaker 1: as good as you want them to be. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: what I was gonna say, for sure. It is just
Speaker 1: like this, it is. That's the reality. This offensive line
Speaker 1: and ain't gonna get you back. This isn't a dominant
Speaker 1: offensive line. You know. I'm Connor Williams seven and two
Speaker 1: as a starter. I mean, they Cowboys are seven to
Speaker 1: two when he starts, Connor McGovern two and three, and
Speaker 1: that's it is what it is. I mean, you think
Speaker 1: it makes that much of a difference. I'm not saying
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you what the records are. I mean,
Speaker 1: we always talk about sample size and if that's enough
Speaker 1: and all that I mean, and who they played and
Speaker 1: all this stuff. I mean, they play nine games with
Speaker 1: him left. We were hoping that McGovern would fix the problem.
Speaker 1: Maybe that's the fix, and it wasn't. That wasn't that's
Speaker 1: not the issue that he didn't fix anything. So I'm
Speaker 1: not saying it's on him or whatever. Maybe that's not
Speaker 1: the problem. Maybe it was never the problem. The penalties
Speaker 1: have gone down some, but I don't think the running
Speaker 1: so is the running game. So I'm gonna laugh ruefully,
Speaker 1: like it shouldn't be that simple, right, You're always like
Speaker 1: it's all connected, there's all these reasons for all of it.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna laugh if they just run over these guys
Speaker 1: with If Connor Williams starts, which I think he will, Yeah,
Speaker 1: exactly like everybody his whole career, everybody's like he's not strong,
Speaker 1: he can't push anybody off the line. Guys. Now we
Speaker 1: get to see the Cowboys go for two thirty with
Speaker 1: Zeke and Edo Smith because Connor's back in the lineup. Yeah, sorry,
Speaker 1: where you gonna gonna say? You know who else? Will laugh?
Speaker 1: His agent? Oh yeah, yeah, he's gonna write he was
Speaker 1: out four games, Zeke struggled. Whatever, he comes back in
Speaker 1: the lineup. Yeah, what do you guys think is the
Speaker 1: biggest will be the biggest thing that Dallas needs to
Speaker 1: do this weekend to get their offense back going, particularly
Speaker 1: as Dak was talking about the big challenge being the
Speaker 1: defenses are playing back, they gotta be patient and that
Speaker 1: sort of thing. What is the biggest thing that they
Speaker 1: need to do this week to get back on track?
Speaker 1: This is nothing makes sense if they're playing back, so
Speaker 1: there's no more deep ball and then Schultz isn't catching
Speaker 1: anything and the running game can't run and the little
Speaker 1: screen passes aren't working. I don't know, Like I don't
Speaker 1: have they played that good at safety. They can cover.
Speaker 1: They it's like pick your poison, all of it. It's
Speaker 1: all working. It seems like I think the biggest I mean,
Speaker 1: and I don't know, it should it should be working.
Speaker 1: It should be working better than it has been with
Speaker 1: the way teams have been playing them. But like the
Speaker 1: number one thing that could fix that is just if
Speaker 1: the running game is gives you a threat. It doesn't
Speaker 1: the worst thing though, you know, like if you're like
Speaker 1: a mechanic or something or just the stuff that Chris
Speaker 1: Beam does on that side of it, and you're like
Speaker 1: it should be working. Yeah, it's all, what's the problem
Speaker 1: and why why can't you hear? If you ever want
Speaker 1: to say nothing nothing, it makes me more frustrated than that.
Speaker 1: Like if you know, if everything's like my headphone, Jack's
Speaker 1: plugged in at the wire's fine, everything looks like it's
Speaker 1: and I still can't hear, like I will free. I
Speaker 1: hate the term and I don't ever use it. I
Speaker 1: hate the term talent, Like you know we draw on
Speaker 1: the camera like, well, all the talents on there. That's
Speaker 1: bs because it takes a lot more talent to fix
Speaker 1: it if it messes up, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: That's why I look at it. I know that they
Speaker 1: always say talent, but I think there's more talent on
Speaker 1: the other side, because I couldn't if it, if it
Speaker 1: troubles shoots, I couldn't fix it. Wow, that's a great analogy,
Speaker 1: because nobody is about to say where you gonna say,
Speaker 1: nobody gives credit to the offensive line, and yet they
Speaker 1: make everything for everybody else talent. Yeah, they make it
Speaker 1: work for the talent, and so we want to if
Speaker 1: you're gonna fix something, that's what needs to get fixed. Yes, absolutely,
Speaker 1: Like and I I'm the past happy guy, like for
Speaker 1: early first and second down runs piss me off. I
Speaker 1: don't like it, but that is the quickest and easiest
Speaker 1: way to fix this thing. As if your running game
Speaker 1: scares anybody, and that they don't have to run for
Speaker 1: two hundred yards, they just have to be averaging four
Speaker 1: or more per carry. It would be so nice to
Speaker 1: see some six eight twelve yard runs with some regularity.
Speaker 1: And it didn't look great in Washington, but it looked
Speaker 1: as close to good as it has in a minute,
Speaker 1: in my opinion, and so maybe Connor Williams can help
Speaker 1: with that. Every indication that we're hearing is that Zeke
Speaker 1: is getting better, like they feel. They that's I don't
Speaker 1: get that, speaking of things you don't get. You're like,
Speaker 1: he can't make this worse and he's just going to
Speaker 1: play through it until he feels better. Like that doesn't
Speaker 1: seem like it should make sense, but according to them,
Speaker 1: it does, like it. They he feels better this week
Speaker 1: than he has in recent weeks. He's got a brace
Speaker 1: now he's I think that's that'll help him in terms
Speaker 1: of like feeling confident in it. So I don't think
Speaker 1: he's gonna look like he did in September, but maybe
Speaker 1: he will look as good as he has in a while,
Speaker 1: especially when you think about all the losses the Giants
Speaker 1: have on their defense right now. You know, Nick, you
Speaker 1: said it doesn't it doesn't really make sense. But actually
Speaker 1: a lot about what I think is happening with this
Speaker 1: offense started to make sense to me this morning as
Speaker 1: McCarthy was talking when he talked about and I think
Speaker 1: he talked about this on his radio show, not in
Speaker 1: his press conference, but he was talking about how early
Speaker 1: in the season teams can get by with skiing. You
Speaker 1: can do a lot of things that teams haven't seen
Speaker 1: and that can make you look really, really good early
Speaker 1: in a season. As a season wears on, you get
Speaker 1: to week six, seven, eight, nine, ten, Now it's more
Speaker 1: about execution because teams have seen what you're gonna do.
Speaker 1: You're not gonna roll out a bunch of new stuff
Speaker 1: out him every week that they don't really know what's coming.
Speaker 1: Now it's about your execution. And if you watch this
Speaker 1: offense play, it's not that everybody is messing up all
Speaker 1: the time. It's that on a lot of plays, this
Speaker 1: guy messes up on this play, and then this guy
Speaker 1: is up on this play. This guy on this play,
Speaker 1: and so what tends to happen is it's really more
Speaker 1: about the fact that just as a unit, they have
Speaker 1: not been able to consistently execute, and that's what's causing
Speaker 1: the problems. If they can clean that up, they can
Speaker 1: fix this offense. And that goes to Dak, that goes
Speaker 1: to the running backs, that goes to the offensive line,
Speaker 1: that goes to the receivers. You know, think about all
Speaker 1: the mistakes, the drops, the penalties, like, that's what they
Speaker 1: got to clean up. They clean that stuff up. I
Speaker 1: think that fixes the problem. They just don't seem to
Speaker 1: be able to get into rhythm because of that. But
Speaker 1: I'll say this, expect to see more from the tight
Speaker 1: end position this week. That's all I'm gonna say. Now,
Speaker 1: whether or not it's gonna be good, that's knowledge. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I got eyes. That is a nick That is a
Speaker 1: Nick Eatman kind of drop right there, like just throw
Speaker 1: it out there and you've been talking to somebody or
Speaker 1: something and it's like, I'm just gonna throw this out there,
Speaker 1: something to keep an eye, which she did not. She
Speaker 1: didn't say the tin sit in the title is sprinkling
Speaker 1: in A little knowledge over started this week sprinkling in
Speaker 1: a little knowledge of my season's done. Hops, Ober, He's
Speaker 1: already killed you. He killed me last week. I don't
Speaker 1: I don't get this will be the moment, this will
Speaker 1: be the moment he Doteller game fantasy. Just yeah, that's
Speaker 1: exactly right. Are we gonna take our final break? We'll
Speaker 1: come back. We're gonna talk about this, these scenarios that

Speaker 1: through January seventeenth vote Dak, welcome back my final segment
Speaker 1: of a break? What was that? Welcome back? I don't
Speaker 1: know what back? Welcome hey, wow? Segment of the break
Speaker 1: that WBC morg Studios at the Star. Hey, okay, so
Speaker 1: here's the deal. Cowboys have a scenario, a couple of scenarios,
Speaker 1: where they could clinch the NFC East this weekend. The
Speaker 1: first thing, I absolutely has to happen, and we all
Speaker 1: know this. They've got to beat the Giants in order
Speaker 1: to clinch. That's the first thing. The second thing, there
Speaker 1: are two different options. One first option easiest option. There
Speaker 1: has to be a tie between Philadelphia and Washington's easy.
Speaker 1: That's the easiest of the options. That tells you how
Speaker 1: likely the other option is. All right, now, the other one,
Speaker 1: did you do the math on that? Is a tie?
Speaker 1: Statistically more probable than getting all of these results? What
Speaker 1: would you guess? Oh? Yes, because I mean even though
Speaker 1: about five game parlay or really it would be like
Speaker 1: seven guessing a seven game parlay, it's almost impossible, it is.
Speaker 1: But how I mean, how many there's like a tie
Speaker 1: a year in the NFL? Maybe and there's already been one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just I don't I would love to see the
Speaker 1: numbers on that. I don't know that I think there's
Speaker 1: a better chance of that happening than this. The seven
Speaker 1: laugh goes seven to seven games. Man, that's a lot.
Speaker 1: Keep in mind too, Washington is decimated by COVID, like
Speaker 1: they're like ten point underdogs to a mediocre Eagles team.
Speaker 1: So that could happen, Like I mean what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: It could happen that the Philly Philadelphia Eagles win. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: because that's scenario. It's Cowboys win, Eagles win. Yeah, if
Speaker 1: Cowboys and Eagles win, here's the scenario you got. Actually,
Speaker 1: there were five or six games that you had to
Speaker 1: get out the window already that already got killed. You
Speaker 1: gotta get five or five Saturday and Sunday because the
Speaker 1: Chargers and the Chargers acted like last night, I was like,
Speaker 1: maybe they're gonna pull this off. They end up losing,
Speaker 1: so that one's out the window. You gotta get five
Speaker 1: or five on these here. Talk to Dave about that afterwards.
Speaker 1: I want to talk about about that game after surey,
Speaker 1: go ahead and talk about it right now. Just did
Speaker 1: you think that because you're a real big don't score
Speaker 1: too early, don't score too early? Did you think were
Speaker 1: you watching it that close? I wasn't watching it super close.
Speaker 1: The Charger scored or the Chargers scored early. The Chargers
Speaker 1: had the lead right. They scored in twenty eight twenty
Speaker 1: one with about two twenty two thirty to go and
Speaker 1: got up seven and then they wouldn't scored it with
Speaker 1: like with one ten to go. The Chiefs went down
Speaker 1: and scored twenty twenty eight and then they both teams
Speaker 1: got the ball back again. I mean it was so Yeah,
Speaker 1: if you're north of the two minute warning hard that's
Speaker 1: different for me. Like what pisses me off is when
Speaker 1: you score with one ten left and you could have
Speaker 1: taken it down to like twenty five, and it's and
Speaker 1: they're like, well, what could we do? We had to score?
Speaker 1: It's like, no, you have to recognize who you're playing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a little different when you're north with a two
Speaker 1: minute When I saw there before half though, and when
Speaker 1: they tried to go for it on four, it's rather
Speaker 1: than field goal. I thought it was a horrible decision,
Speaker 1: but I was thinking to myself, I'm sure days like
Speaker 1: that was absolutely right decision. Someone here with you. Well,
Speaker 1: somebody on Twitter made a good point that if you
Speaker 1: are going to settle for a field goal, that's not
Speaker 1: a bad place to do it because you don't get
Speaker 1: the benefit of penning mahomes deep because you're just gonna
Speaker 1: go at halftime, right, so like you can. I mean,
Speaker 1: if they had kicked a field goal, I wouldn't have
Speaker 1: killed them for it. But I'm just I'm never going
Speaker 1: to kill you for being aggressive, especially in a game
Speaker 1: like that. I mean, you got score a lot. Ironically,
Speaker 1: well no, because even I mean you wound they wounded
Speaker 1: up needing thirty four points to win. Field goals aren't
Speaker 1: gonna get it done against those types of players and
Speaker 1: those types of offenses. And if you managed to score,
Speaker 1: they would have gone into halftime, what twenty they would
Speaker 1: have been up eleven points, right, twenty one ten. So
Speaker 1: now though thirty four twenty nine would have got you
Speaker 1: to win, because it's overtake, okay, I mean, I'm just
Speaker 1: saying you wins overtime. So if you needed a lot
Speaker 1: of points on the board, you needed basically thirty points
Speaker 1: to win that game. I mean, at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, yeah, I get it. But the irony is
Speaker 1: that both teams missed their opportunities and so it was
Speaker 1: a much more defensive game than we were probably expecting.
Speaker 1: But like I said, it's not always going to work.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to kill you for it, especially when
Speaker 1: you're playing that type of team. I just think you
Speaker 1: need to be aggressive. So does Akland do twice as
Speaker 1: many games as Romo? Is that what he does Thursday
Speaker 1: and Sunday? I mean, does that? Is that the thing?
Speaker 1: I thought Romo does some Thursday games. It's either or
Speaker 1: NFL Network does it alone. Like NFL Network has a
Speaker 1: few exclusives that Fox doesn't do. But yeah, pretty much
Speaker 1: every Thursday's been been doing double dipping here. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: Buck and Aikman have done like every Thursday and everything
Speaker 1: money yeah for them? All right, Okay, so we're gonna
Speaker 1: go We're gonna go through these five games, and I
Speaker 1: want you guys to pick these games for me. Okay,
Speaker 1: So Cowboys need five or five? Um pat Patriots, I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: Patriot Patriots, Patriots versus cults. Cowboys need the Patriots to win.
Speaker 1: How likely is that to happen? Nick, don't day style?
Speaker 1: What's in? It's in Indie? Oh you don't know enough
Speaker 1: Spanish to know that what that means? Where's the game? Sorry? Okay? Cool?
Speaker 1: You've lived You've lived in Texas like your whole life. Yeah, okay, cool?
Speaker 1: All right? You work with Amber Colts Colt is the
Speaker 1: game in Indy, Yes, okay, I guess I don't know.
Speaker 1: I apologize. Well, I'm gonna go with the home team
Speaker 1: on that one, but I would go with the Colts there.
Speaker 1: You think the Colts gonna win there if it's in Indianapolis,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, I'm sorry that matters. I don't And
Speaker 1: I also I'm sorry. I know that they beat the
Speaker 1: Bills in the Northeaster and whatever, I'm not. I don't
Speaker 1: buy the Patriots not as like not as a like
Speaker 1: super Bowl winning team. Like they are a good team,
Speaker 1: they're the they're the twenty sixteen Cowboys, like they're a good,
Speaker 1: solid team. But how far are you gonna get with
Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback? You just, I mean, I just I
Speaker 1: don't do that Indy. By the way, yeah, I know, like,
Speaker 1: no disrespect to Belichick, he's the goat, but like, no, yeah,
Speaker 1: a seven winning streak right now, I get it? Got
Speaker 1: it at some point? Does it? Yes, nobody nobody in there.
Speaker 1: If that Patriots team beats the Chiefs in the playoffs,
Speaker 1: no matter or where the game is, just put Belichick
Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame, like, just let him move
Speaker 1: against him. I'm just saying I wouldn't bet against He's
Speaker 1: already moved in, by the way. No, I'm saying no,
Speaker 1: but like I just give him a whole wing, Like,
Speaker 1: just give him a whole wing of the building. He's
Speaker 1: just adding new wings at this Yeah. Yeah, he's already
Speaker 1: in and got as much space as he wants. All right,
Speaker 1: So you guys are basically killing it by tomorrow and
Speaker 1: not you think this is done. I mean, I'm boys
Speaker 1: having a shot other than a tie. Of course, anything's
Speaker 1: possible in the NFL, but I'm not going to be
Speaker 1: surprised if if yeah, I do too. Cards have to
Speaker 1: beat the Lions Cardinals in that game, okay, uh, Bengals
Speaker 1: have to beat the Broncos at your boy. Look, I'm emotionally,
Speaker 1: I'm emotionally invested in the Bengals, but and I follow
Speaker 1: them way more closely than I normally would because of
Speaker 1: who plays for them. If I've learned anything about them,
Speaker 1: they are like the classic late Tony Romo Eric Cowboys,
Speaker 1: where like they win the games they're not supposed to
Speaker 1: and lose to the teams they're not like. So, but
Speaker 1: isn't Denver kind of there the full AFC is in
Speaker 1: the playoff race, like the Jets are like the only team,
Speaker 1: and the Texans and the Jags. I guess like those
Speaker 1: three are the only ones that are like out of it.
Speaker 1: And this is also the time of the year you
Speaker 1: have to look at weather reports, like who knows what
Speaker 1: that's gonna be like in Denver this weekend? Who You
Speaker 1: just never know. It could be twenty feet snow. I
Speaker 1: hate to bet against my boy, but I could just
Speaker 1: see the Broncos smashing them for some years. The Bengals
Speaker 1: went in that one. So Dolphins have to beat the Jets. Yes,
Speaker 1: Jets are awful. I'm taking the Jets on that one.
Speaker 1: You were taking the Jets over the Dolphins, I am,
Speaker 1: which ironic, Yet it goes to my point. The Jets
Speaker 1: are putrid and they beat this Bengals team, So yeah,
Speaker 1: give me the Jets. They're at They're at Miami two,
Speaker 1: you're still taking Almost asked the dumbest question in the world.
Speaker 1: Almost asked where the game was. I'm sorry I didn't.
Speaker 1: I caught myself. It would be dumb because the playing
Speaker 1: and the Giants flit. Yeah, Derek didn't even know why
Speaker 1: that was dumb as they're like, okay, okay, I seriously
Speaker 1: was like, where's that game? Yeah, it's somebody they could
Speaker 1: have played Saturday night whatever. No, yeah they could have
Speaker 1: played that. They could have but yeah, that Saturdy Sunday.
Speaker 1: It seems like a quick turnaround because because they have
Speaker 1: to flip everything that. It's kind of cool how that works.
Speaker 1: Like if you go there for a Jets game, everything's green.
Speaker 1: If you go there for a Giant's game, everything's blue,
Speaker 1: and there's like a whole army of people that like
Speaker 1: the Jets have their own Ring of Honor and their
Speaker 1: own Super Bowl band restincil the field, like the field
Speaker 1: goes without saying. But even like the banners and stuff
Speaker 1: change when they play games. Those Hall of Fame, I
Speaker 1: don't know if they cover them, but they could look
Speaker 1: for Mark Gas to know, see if he's up there.
Speaker 1: They might Yeah, they might keep I think they keep
Speaker 1: both rings of Honor up. But like the banners at
Speaker 1: the top that say like Giants Ball and stuff like
Speaker 1: those go away during Jets games. J I don't think
Speaker 1: so can I switch. I'm sure I'm gonna go back
Speaker 1: to Miami on the okay, Miami, and I was gonna say,
Speaker 1: with all these teams, I mean, the only one that
Speaker 1: I think everyone could be certain enough or to say
Speaker 1: it's like that Giants game. But other than that, even
Speaker 1: with bad teams, like it plays in your head like hey,
Speaker 1: I could see it the other way. There's only there's
Speaker 1: only one, I mean, only one of these games where
Speaker 1: it's like the team is there's such a lopsided thing
Speaker 1: between the two teams, and that's Cardinals, Allions, all the
Speaker 1: rest of them. It's a it's a game where you
Speaker 1: might have a favorite, but it's like they're kind of shaky.
Speaker 1: So I don't really are dedicating a lot of time
Speaker 1: to something trying to win the division. I get it.
Speaker 1: It's just it reminds me of like the guy in
Speaker 1: your office that's like, so then I need Keenan Allen
Speaker 1: to do this. But if it goes to Eckler, then
Speaker 1: I'm gonna lose my matchup. And I'm just like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, I don't care about all these details. But
Speaker 1: I get it. I get it. You know, we're filling
Speaker 1: radio times. I try to want the Colts to beat
Speaker 1: the Patriots and just to get it over it. I
Speaker 1: want no, absolutely not. I want the Cowboys to lock
Speaker 1: up the division as soon as possible so that they
Speaker 1: can do stuff like rest guys that need rest. It's
Speaker 1: just it just seems like such a small percentage, not
Speaker 1: dramatic enough. You know, Cowboys, you need some drums to
Speaker 1: steal Nick's line, Like is McCord packing hats? Like are
Speaker 1: the equipment guys packing hats? Yes, and they are if
Speaker 1: they want to celebrate it. I'm guessing they are. And
Speaker 1: by the way they they actually they will not. I
Speaker 1: just thought about that they will not because they won't
Speaker 1: know until after the three o'clock games are done, because
Speaker 1: there's one game. All these are noon games except for
Speaker 1: well there's a Saturday night. Then the rest of them
Speaker 1: are noon and then the other one is the Broncos
Speaker 1: and Babies that happens at three, So they won't know
Speaker 1: until we're maybe in the air. Yeah, you can't open
Speaker 1: up a box on the plane. You would, you could,
Speaker 1: but I think it's it's that's also kind of thing
Speaker 1: of are you doing it so you can get the
Speaker 1: photo op or you doing it just to give them
Speaker 1: out right? I mean, I mean the the Philly Washington
Speaker 1: games at noon, they could tie and we win the
Speaker 1: game and then the very true, very true, very true.
Speaker 1: That is such a hotly crew right there. I mean
Speaker 1: these offensive linemen right now, Oh my god, n I mean,
Speaker 1: what does Joe have on? Oh? I mean this, this
Speaker 1: right here, seriously is the same guy I've never Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean this was Joe Looney was Nate, you know,
Speaker 1: jolly wise and all that. I mean he was. He
Speaker 1: was the same guy where we're looking at. I'll just
Speaker 1: let you guys know, just stay tuned with the boys.
Speaker 1: There's gonna be something going on on hanging with the
Speaker 1: boys to day, So basically stay tuned for this is
Speaker 1: gonna be interesting. I guess. Yeah. Well, Chris, the camera
Speaker 1: days him in the background. You guys get get a
Speaker 1: chance to look behind the Oh god, all right, real quick,
Speaker 1: let's get some picks. Cowboys versus giants. Who wins this
Speaker 1: Sunday Amber You go first? Cowboys? That's all I'm gonna say.
Speaker 1: All right, Dave, I think I'm I'm just gonna I'm
Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep betting on this offense to finally get
Speaker 1: it right. I really, it just reminds me of like
Speaker 1: one puzzle pieces in the wrong spot and then they're
Speaker 1: just gonna they're eventually gonna get it. I don't know
Speaker 1: why it's taking them so long, but this is a
Speaker 1: good opponent to do it against. M Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: they should win comfortably similar to last week. I think
Speaker 1: they're capable of building out a lead, and I mean,
Speaker 1: what's Mike Lenning gonna do. Hopefully it's a little more
Speaker 1: pretty in the second half, and like thirty thirty, they're
Speaker 1: gonna crack thirty first time since Thanksgiving thirty four to
Speaker 1: thirty four to fourteen. Okay, yeah, boys, they won twenty
Speaker 1: seven to seventeen and twenty seven to ten. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: stick to twenty seven the less and these three road
Speaker 1: games on the road. I'm stay at twenty seven twenty
Speaker 1: seven to twelve. I think they're better. I think Giants
Speaker 1: will mess around and have you know, a few field
Speaker 1: goals here or do something. But I think it'll be
Speaker 1: kind of an ugly game. I think it's gonna be
Speaker 1: very similar to what we've seen before. They're better, you can,
Speaker 1: you'll take two minutes to see who's better, but it'll
Speaker 1: take it'll take fifty five to really just kind of
Speaker 1: all right, put it away. I think this is a blowout.
Speaker 1: I think by my third quarter. I'm gonna put into
Speaker 1: writing emoji to Dave on Twitter saying go and get
Speaker 1: your story done. Man. Let's you know it's got to
Speaker 1: be happening. What they're gonna blow him out. He's gonna
Speaker 1: be like Broncos Broncos twenty one. Yeah, and beles exactly
Speaker 1: what's gonna be happenings, exactly what's gonna be happening. We're
Speaker 1: gonna be by the by fourth quarter, we're gonna be
Speaker 1: watching the other games on our laptop. But then but then,
Speaker 1: like something bad's gonna happen. Look, the Gallary's gonna take
Speaker 1: it works than everybody. I want to be about three
Speaker 1: testdowns and then Barkley breaks along and I'm like, whoa man,
Speaker 1: take a second. The one Derek will annoy me. That
Speaker 1: is what It will happen one way or that either
Speaker 1: I know, Hill will be like slapping me and tell
Speaker 1: me to get started working, or complaining that why is
Speaker 1: Barkley averaging eight yards of the Giants have got back
Speaker 1: into this game. Take one Barkley with a druct shown
Speaker 1: and we'll be right back. They ended up looking at
Speaker 1: the guy like now this will this will be this
Speaker 1: is gonna be the most fun we've had watching the
Speaker 1: Cowboys since Atlanta. Like, Wow, that's what they're gonna put
Speaker 1: up this one. They're gonna get a butt Like, is
Speaker 1: it gonna be a takeaway faster as the offense actually
Speaker 1: gonna play defense? Is gonna score at least one touchdown?
Speaker 1: All right? All right, that's my question. So sixteen guys
Speaker 1: have scored a touchdown this year, which just ties the record.
Speaker 1: Mike is gonna get one. It's gonna be one. Who
Speaker 1: the next guy that hasn't scored, Mike's gonna get one.
Speaker 1: Um going with the easy one, and it'll just know
Speaker 1: it'll be that's across the whole team, right, whole team.
Speaker 1: It'll just be boring, Like Jeremy Sprinkle will catch a
Speaker 1: touchdown on Sunday's actually an easy one. Yeah, yeah, No,
Speaker 1: Mike's gotta get in the zone. He's gonna get in
Speaker 1: the en zone. That would be awesome, don't get me wrong,
Speaker 1: just on media mish before because he's got more stats
Speaker 1: than Lawrence Taylor's rookie year. When you know that, But
Speaker 1: what Lawrence Taylor did? I think it was Thanksgiving against
Speaker 1: the Lions, he picked off a pass at the one
Speaker 1: yard length, a little out. He picked it off at
Speaker 1: the one housed it, I mean as at the one
Speaker 1: or whatever against the lines his rookie year on Thanksgiving,
Speaker 1: and that was like, okay, MP defensive that would be
Speaker 1: the thing, like that's how you win, all right, that's
Speaker 1: how you do it. I hate that that's true. But
Speaker 1: like if Micah gets a pick six before the season's over,
Speaker 1: I think that could be enough to like swing it
Speaker 1: where you're just like cha, what can't he do? Right?
Speaker 1: I've seen somebody go one hundred yards at MetLife Stadium there.
Speaker 1: Do you remember one hundred yard interception returning for a
Speaker 1: touchdown interception? Yep? Yeah, the cowboy legend Brian McCann, Oh,
Speaker 1: I do remember that. Yeah, that's the craziest game. Remember
Speaker 1: Garrett's first win? Lights went out? Sitting next to lights
Speaker 1: just go out? Yeah, Rob? Rob and I both were
Speaker 1: weren't what was that? That was not cool? I don't
Speaker 1: have to think what that wasn't the game where that
Speaker 1: towards the end of the game they had it. They
Speaker 1: kicked the ball off and kicked out of bounds of giants.
Speaker 1: Did no, No, I'm think that's a parcels right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's parcels right. Yeah, seven years off, it's been like
Speaker 1: MetLife has been the scene of some really cool stuff,
Speaker 1: but recently it's just been kind of mad too bad.
Speaker 1: Like Jarwin the Black Cat was at MetLife, lost to
Speaker 1: the Jets at MetLife that married basically obviously, ob J.
Speaker 1: I know, sorry Cowboy fans, not to trigger you, but
Speaker 1: as this said, we still got that done, as every
Speaker 1: Cowboy fan ever, Like, man, what did you know they
Speaker 1: won the final score? Did you hear the final score?
Speaker 1: You know who won? Shut up? Shut up, Obja. Still
Speaker 1: the best catch of ever, absolutely absolutely credit it is
Speaker 1: because all these other catches that guys have done like that,
Speaker 1: they do it like from the six Yard Life. That
Speaker 1: thing was coming from the fifty Yeah, I mean just
Speaker 1: think about how strong your arm and your hands have
Speaker 1: to be to connect, roll it and catch it because
Speaker 1: it's coming down people. People will try to discredit it
Speaker 1: because of the gloves, and these gloves definitely help you
Speaker 1: catch the ball. But like, get it, ain't stick him.
Speaker 1: Get real. I mean you know that you still got
Speaker 1: it too. I didn't think he did, man, I was
Speaker 1: watching him the other Dayly he could still play. I
Speaker 1: remember at the Pro Bowl. We were at the Pro
Speaker 1: Bowl in twenty fourteen and Witt and it was one
Speaker 1: of those practices wherever just got the goofy hats on
Speaker 1: and you know, not really a practice. Witten makes it
Speaker 1: catch and we're kind of standing over there and he
Speaker 1: goes Odell Beckham is the most exposive player I've ever seen,
Speaker 1: and it just goes back to the huddle. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: caught him back. Most post player I've ever seen. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's already back. I'm like, oh, I guess we're not
Speaker 1: early talking. Just that was just know that you want
Speaker 1: to say that. Just drop it on you, all right,
Speaker 1: We appreciate you, guys. Jones. We'll be back on Monday.
Speaker 1: We'll tell you what went right and wrong for the Cowboys.
