Hi, guys, 0:00:28.400 --> 0:00:32.400 welcome back to Cowboys Break. Today. We're gonna talk about 0:00:32.440 --> 0:00:35.160 the We're gonna give our final thoughts on this game 0:00:35.600 --> 0:00:39.760 that is coming up against the Eagles, another await game 0:00:39.840 --> 0:00:43.440 for the Cowboys, which have not been good at all, 0:00:43.840 --> 0:00:45.760 not even the ones at home for the most part. 0:00:45.840 --> 0:00:48.440 But we're gonna try to figure this whole thing out, 0:00:48.479 --> 0:00:51.199 and during the break towards the end, we're gonna get 0:00:51.200 --> 0:00:54.040 to some of y'all's questions. So make sure to send 0:00:54.080 --> 0:00:58.560 it in at Cowboys Break on Twitter or uh just 0:00:58.600 --> 0:01:01.400 send it in yeah Twitter. I don't even remember the 0:01:01.440 --> 0:01:03.640 phone number, and Derek is the one that hasn't member 0:01:05.760 --> 0:01:10.560 the right one, but okay, we'll figure it out anyways. 0:01:10.560 --> 0:01:13.679 All right, let's go over yesterday. We talked about several guys. 0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:17.880 There is a pretty long list of injured players for 0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:20.920 the Cowboys, and a lot of them are still limited. 0:01:21.160 --> 0:01:24.240 Some of them have still not practiced yet. So I 0:01:24.240 --> 0:01:28.400 wanted to see some of these guys. What has happened 0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:33.320 since yesterday? You're ready practicing right now as we speak. Um, 0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:37.280 let's go with the guys not practicing because it's here, 0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:39.360 because then we felt like about forty eight guys. But 0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:42.720 Tavon Austin not practicing, may not practice anymore. We'll find 0:01:42.720 --> 0:01:45.480 out about that. Connor Williams not practicing this week, not 0:01:45.520 --> 0:01:48.080 gonna play, David Irving probably not going to play, Joe 0:01:48.120 --> 0:01:50.520 Thomas will be out, Sean Lee is also going to 0:01:50.560 --> 0:01:53.120 be out. Taco is not practicing, and I would imagine 0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:55.800 Dave that means he won't play. How many guys did 0:01:55.840 --> 0:01:58.400 you just list? Like? We might have might have nailed 0:01:58.400 --> 0:02:03.360 the inactives right there? Yep, tavonn Irving, Joe Thomas, Shawn Lee, 0:02:03.400 --> 0:02:07.120 and Taco Charlton? Is that six? Yeah? Mike White? Throw 0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:10.200 Mike White in there. Yeah? There we go. Done, Two birds, 0:02:10.200 --> 0:02:14.080 one stone and unless, well, how are you guys feeling 0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:18.359 about Swim? I don't think Swam. I mean, even if 0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:20.680 he's not like one hundred percent, which he won't be. 0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:25.080 I think he's just active because because you can be. Yeah, now, 0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:27.000 hold on, let's look at these guys real quick and 0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:30.800 see you've got your guard Connor is gonna be out, 0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:34.000 and two linebackers, but nobody really moves up from a 0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:38.000 linebacker standpoint to replace them, right, No, I think you 0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:41.040 just I mean, like Justin Marsh Lillard and Chris Covington 0:02:41.200 --> 0:02:43.440 might have to play more than they're used to. Five 0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:47.440 linebackers would be on the team active, right, Yeah, you've 0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:50.079 got You've got the two young guys, Layton Jail and 0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:54.960 Damien Wilson, Covington and Marsh Marsh Lillard. Okay, it seems 0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:57.120 a little light, but yeah, you can make it. You 0:02:57.160 --> 0:02:58.760 don't have anybody on the roster. You'd have to move 0:02:58.800 --> 0:03:03.799 somebody up right, Um, and then from a wide receiver standpoint, 0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:07.720 Deanthe Thompson has been banged up with ribs injury. He's 0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:11.280 probably gonna play. Now. There's also some talk here and 0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:13.639 even Jason Garrett said it today in his press conference 0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:17.480 that Noah Brown could get moved up to the roster 0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:20.440 and play. They would need to create a roster spot 0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:22.880 by doing that. Yeah, that is so. I mean, he 0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:25.560 started practicing last week. He looks I mean, he looks 0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:27.480 like he's ready to go. They can move him to 0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:29.280 the fifty three anytime they want, they'd have to make 0:03:29.320 --> 0:03:33.280 a corresponding move. Some speculation that maybe Tavon Austin would 0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:35.280 be the move if he needs to go to I R. 0:03:35.800 --> 0:03:38.800 I haven't heard anything definitive about that, or you know, 0:03:38.840 --> 0:03:41.240 you could just cut somebody too. Either way, now what 0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:43.480 would be And I know, and I'm the first one 0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:46.120 to want to see that move happening because I've been 0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:53.840 wanting and second whatever, we're on the same team. We've 0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:55.960 been wanting to see Noah Brown play and get on 0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:59.880 the field. But why would be the necessity or the reason? 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:02.600 And as to why they would make that move right now, 0:04:02.720 --> 0:04:07.320 especially after bringing in Cooper and just with the wide 0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:09.680 receiver room that it's happening there, I mean, even as 0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:11.839 the president of the Noah Brown fan Club, I would 0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:14.280 say temporary expectations. I mean, I think you know, you 0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:17.559 get a firmer diagnosis of what Tavon's dealing with, you, don't. 0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:19.719 You know, It's hard to keep a guy who's not 0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:22.279 playing on the roster for more than two or three 0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:25.240 or four weeks. Like it's a small roster when you're 0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:27.839 talking about how physical football is, so you get a 0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:30.720 healthy receiver in. He can block, he can do the 0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:32.520 things that they like to. You know, Alan Hearns has 0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:35.280 been that guy who they love to motion him in 0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:38.320 and have him you know, he'll chip the TI or 0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:40.680 he'll chip the defensive end or be a part of that. 0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:44.000 No disrespect to Alan Hearns, but I think Noah Brown's 0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:46.280 probably better at that. So he can do a lot 0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:49.000 of that stuff and have a small role in the 0:04:49.000 --> 0:04:52.440 passing game. He'd probably be the fourth or fifth receiver. 0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:55.560 Like he ain't he ain't gonna catch fifty balls, That's 0:04:55.560 --> 0:04:57.040 what I'm trying to say. But he can play a role, 0:04:57.120 --> 0:05:01.239 not a one game no, no, not. You're right about 0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:06.880 that about motioning him down into the do it. It's 0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:08.720 one of the top two or three things they do 0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:11.720 that absolutely just drives you, not drives me crazy. I 0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:14.279 don't understand it. At least they do it with Hearns 0:05:14.279 --> 0:05:16.360 and not pave On like they did a free season. 0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:19.320 It just it just doesn't matter. It's just like, oh, 0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:21.839 let's just put them all in here and then But 0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:24.440 that to me, is just kind of like an arrogant 0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:27.799 type move of like hat on a hat. Our guys 0:05:27.839 --> 0:05:29.800 are better than your guys, But when it comes to 0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:33.080 receivers blocking safeties, I mean they're not. Now. The one 0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:38.640 thing about Noah Brown, we've said a thousand times, Hey, William, 0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:44.000 William's bringing in. We're gonna talk about that fleece here later, Yes, 0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:47.840 thank you very much. Man behind the scenes right there, 0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:51.200 William boy does it all? Does it all William time season, 0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:54.120 not behind the scenes. Sometimes he's right front and centers on. 0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:56.560 He's in front of the camera. A lot of the 0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:59.360 time you just have two like where's Waldo and you'll 0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:03.479 find him. Where's William? Um. But the thing about Noah 0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:06.120 Brown is I think my point I was making is 0:06:06.120 --> 0:06:09.400 that we've always said he's very similar to Dez, you know, 0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:12.200 body type. He kind of looks like him. Last year 0:06:12.200 --> 0:06:13.919 it was always hard to tell which one was which. 0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:17.800 But you know, he does bring that kind of body 0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:20.360 structure to the team and so hopefully you know, and 0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:22.200 that that can help a little bit in the running game. 0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:24.320 But you're right, it's not going to be it'd be interesting. 0:06:24.400 --> 0:06:26.240 I mean, they don't have to do anything with him. 0:06:26.240 --> 0:06:28.040 But they could. So it's something to keep an eye 0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:30.960 on today and tomorrow. He's not on the fifty three 0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:33.520 right now, but they can change that quickly. And they 0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:36.560 have another week after this if they decide not to 0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:40.360 activate him, But if they're thinking about it, that signals 0:06:40.400 --> 0:06:42.279 that they're probably going to do it at some point, 0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:45.080 you know. And if Davon Austin is the guy that 0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:50.000 goes to injured reserve, that's going to obviously in the 0:06:50.080 --> 0:06:54.039 season for him, yeah, but probably in his career with 0:06:54.080 --> 0:06:58.040 the Cowboys. I mean, I don't it's kind of speculated. 0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:01.360 That's well, that's super no. I mean, what is to 0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:03.640 be free agent? He will, he will enter free agency, 0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:06.440 but I mean what is what does his market look like? Yeah? 0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:10.360 Who who's interested? How much money can he command? Do 0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:13.040 the Cowboys see a role for him next year? Who knows? 0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:15.120 I mean yeah, And he needs to look at and 0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:18.280 remember he was he's never you know, picked his team. 0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:20.720 He was he was you know, drafted by the Rams, 0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:24.440 traded to the Cowboys, and you know, when he goes 0:07:24.440 --> 0:07:27.280 into free agency next year, he will probably look at 0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:30.120 an offense that will utilize him a little bit better. 0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:32.880 And maybe that offense is here. I don't know well 0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:35.560 into what kind of system is here. Oh yeah, and 0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:38.040 there has to be I think everyone knows that now, right, 0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:40.400 I mean, there has to be changes or not something. 0:07:40.880 --> 0:07:43.320 I mean, they're not there not gonna go with with 0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:46.240 Lenahan as the play caller next year and the offense. 0:07:46.360 --> 0:07:49.360 I can't imagine that they just roll everything out the 0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:51.400 same way as it is right now. I don't know. 0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:53.560 I mean, and it's too soon for me to speculate 0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:55.080 what that change will be. I mean, it could be 0:07:55.120 --> 0:07:57.080 a head coaching change. Maybe it's a coordinator change. I 0:07:57.080 --> 0:08:00.240 don't know. But I can't imagine that we get to 0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:03.920 January and it's all the same. That would be That 0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:06.160 would be There's no way that would be wild. Um. 0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:10.960 I liked I liked what Tavon brought. I didn't think 0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:13.880 that they always used him the right way, but he 0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:16.720 showed flash. He averaged nine yards per carry when he 0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:20.160 actually got to carry the ball, and he did some 0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:22.200 nice things in the passing game too when he got 0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:24.240 the opportunities. I know, you know, he had the miss, 0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:26.880 the miss throw that turned into a pick in Houston. 0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:30.120 I wouldn't try to throw those routes with him as 0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:33.120 my wide receiver, like it was his mistake, but I 0:08:33.160 --> 0:08:35.920 don't completely put that on him anyway. Whatever, Yeah, and 0:08:36.240 --> 0:08:39.319 he's not nothing's happened with him, there's just speculation. Yeah. 0:08:40.480 --> 0:08:41.920 I don't want to I don't want to go too 0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:43.840 far down that rabbit hole because we don't know for 0:08:43.840 --> 0:08:46.240 sure that that's going to happen. Right, And yesterday we 0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:49.960 talked a little bit about the Cowboys defense and got 0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:53.360 into that for a little bit. But after looking at 0:08:53.400 --> 0:08:56.920 what the Eagles often has to offer when you match 0:08:56.960 --> 0:08:59.520 it up with the Cowboys defense, and the guys are 0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:02.240 are available as of right now, and like we mentioned, 0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:06.400 there's Sean Lee, Randy Gregory, Taco Charlton right who have 0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:10.280 not practiced. Randy's been Randy's been out there, So I 0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:13.280 think Randy's gonna play. Sorry sorry, I mean Randy, David Irving, 0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:17.559 David Irving, and Taco Charlton. So when you get those 0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:20.079 guys out of the mix and you're left with what 0:09:20.240 --> 0:09:22.840 you have on the field, how do you expect this 0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:26.320 to work out against the Eagles offense? Yeah, I think 0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:31.359 that the it's going to be similar from a personnel standpoint. 0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:33.600 The Cowboys are hoping not from a result standpoint, but 0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:36.079 personnel standpoint and be similar to what you saw last week. 0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:38.840 Irving was out, they replaced him with a bunch of tackles. 0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:43.120 Um the Kuran reads Daniel Ross, Um, Daniel Ross played 0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:44.959 a nice played a really nice game. That's on Woods 0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:49.640 has been playing. They actually, surprisingly with with Irving out, 0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:53.000 they still moved Tyrone Crawford out to end a lot 0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:56.600 I think to help with Um to stop against the run. 0:09:56.720 --> 0:10:00.720 And that was that was with Um Gregory out. Gregory 0:10:00.720 --> 0:10:03.360 will be back in this game. Taco probably won't play it. 0:10:03.480 --> 0:10:08.000 So I think Rod Marinelli yesterday it's a great word 0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:11.600 for him. He called Tyrone their utility guy, like he 0:10:11.720 --> 0:10:13.760 just he plays what they need him to play. And 0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:17.560 so even like Antoine Woods feel, I mean, he's been 0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:20.640 like the starter, even when they've had their full compliment 0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:22.800 to guys, it feels like maybe that's just because Irving 0:10:22.840 --> 0:10:25.840 really hasn't played that much. But I would imagine Woods 0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:28.880 and Malik would be your starting tackles. Lawrence obviously on 0:10:28.920 --> 0:10:31.880 the left side. If Gregory's available, you play you know, 0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:33.840 you can rotate him and Crawford on the right side. 0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:36.560 You can maybe play Crawford on the left too, and 0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:39.600 then you got Daniel Ross and Corn Reid who can 0:10:39.640 --> 0:10:42.560 help you in a pinch it tackle too be my guests. 0:10:42.559 --> 0:10:45.240 I'm telling you this team is really enough far away 0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:48.400 from being a three four team. I know you say that, 0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:51.920 and I don't know. I don't love the idea of 0:10:51.960 --> 0:10:55.840 standing to Marcus Lawrence up, I don't. I don't know 0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:59.000 if you could count on Gregory that would be easy, 0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:02.400 such a big jegantic. If I think Jalen Smith maybe 0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:08.000 is an outside linebacker, seriously, that scares me. I don't 0:11:08.040 --> 0:11:11.719 know he could be anyways. I like, you've got these 0:11:11.760 --> 0:11:16.280 versatile guys in Irving and Crawford that would be perfect ends. Collins, 0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:17.680 you'd figure out a way. I don't know if he'd 0:11:17.679 --> 0:11:19.600 be a good nose in the three four, okay, But 0:11:19.679 --> 0:11:22.760 the guys that you just listed as ends don't like. 0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:25.120 David Irving does not have a long term future here, 0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:27.600 not right now. And I don't know that the Cowboys 0:11:27.640 --> 0:11:29.680 are going to be super eager to sign. And I 0:11:29.720 --> 0:11:34.000 think Crawford's got one, maybe even two years. Let's yeah, 0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:36.640 Collins might be a good three four in I don't 0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:38.360 really have a good reason for it, because I know 0:11:38.480 --> 0:11:40.680 you can give people more looks out of a three 0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:43.640 four and it's more multiple, but I've always liked the 0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:46.760 four three. Yeah, anyway, I don't know, do you guys 0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:49.559 think that that other teams are starting to figure out 0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:52.600 Jalen Smith and how the Cowboys are utilizing him as 0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:56.480 far as like rushing. And he was successful at the 0:11:56.480 --> 0:11:59.520 beginning of last game against the Titans, but you start 0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:02.440 seeing I think the team's doing things differently to where 0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:05.200 he's not able. To think he ran out of gas. 0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:06.600 I'm not trying to cut you off, but I think 0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:09.960 he really ran out of gas. I mean he was 0:12:09.960 --> 0:12:12.760 so worked up, so fired up making play. I mean 0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:15.200 that that fumble recovery that didn't count, the one that 0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:17.720 was on the past that they called a fumble but 0:12:17.720 --> 0:12:20.480 then overturned it. I mean he picked up the ball 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:23.000 and and somebody tried to tackle him and he's bounced 0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:25.040 off of him. I mean he was so jacked up, 0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:26.920 and then every play they ran to the end zone 0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:28.640 and all that. By the end of the game, he 0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:32.600 was spent. And I don't know if they figured him out. 0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:34.959 I just I don't think you saw the same type 0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:37.680 of play was he was not interested in making a 0:12:37.679 --> 0:12:40.480 couple of tackles. Yeah, it just wasn't the saying he 0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:44.200 just started off too strong. And I mean this, I 0:12:44.240 --> 0:12:46.000 want to be I want to be delicate with this 0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:48.200 because I think the world of Jalen Smith and I 0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:50.120 know how much football means to him. But like, yeah, 0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:53.079 I think he gets like I think he gets over excited, 0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:55.720 almost to the point where he's like this is gonna 0:12:55.720 --> 0:12:57.760 look great on Instagram later, you know what I mean, 0:12:58.040 --> 0:13:00.000 Like this photo is gonna be great on my feet, 0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:02.360 like seriously. And I don't mean that to say that 0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:06.280 he doesn't care, but he's he's a promoter, Like if 0:13:06.280 --> 0:13:09.319 you've been around, he is a self promoter. And I 0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:12.080 think maybe he gets a little wrapped up in that 0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:13.959 aspect of it, which I mean, he's a young guy. 0:13:14.000 --> 0:13:16.880 He's twenty three, so I get that. I love Instagram 0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:19.520 and I'm like six years older than him. So um, 0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:22.840 it's I think I think he's I think he's got 0:13:22.840 --> 0:13:26.000 some maturing to do. I'm trying. I mean, I don't 0:13:26.000 --> 0:13:27.960 mean that in a bad way, because that's just I mean, 0:13:27.960 --> 0:13:30.839 that's young people. But that's something that has stood out 0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:34.520 to me. I mean, he plays off off of athleticism 0:13:34.559 --> 0:13:37.400 a lot. I mean that I think one of the 0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:39.920 greatest defensive players that I've seen in a long time 0:13:40.000 --> 0:13:41.719 was the Houston game when he made when he ran 0:13:41.760 --> 0:13:45.319 down Sean Watson, everything you wanted to see from from 0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:48.200 Jalen Smith as far as being a high draft pick 0:13:48.240 --> 0:13:51.839 type player. He showed on that play. Doesn't That doesn't 0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:54.679 have technique. That's nothing to do with technique. That's just 0:13:54.840 --> 0:13:58.840 awareness to go and get tracked the football. Sometimes that works, 0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:01.600 sometimes it does, and sometimes you need a little bit 0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:04.920 more technique. And I still think like, like you know, 0:14:05.160 --> 0:14:07.440 Dave said, he's still maturing, not only as a person 0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:09.480 but as a player and all that, because yeah, that's 0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:12.199 maturity in the sense of you know, Jason Garrett talks 0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:14.840 about it all the time, like even Keel like same approach, 0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:17.320 not getting too hyped when you get two turnovers in 0:14:17.360 --> 0:14:19.880 the first five minutes and not getting too low if 0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:22.280 you're down a couple scores in the in the second half. 0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:24.760 Late Vander esh missed a lot of tackles in that game. 0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:28.920 He not plays that we're not used to him him 0:14:29.280 --> 0:14:32.680 not making so together those two guys, especially with Sean 0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:36.120 Lee out, those two guys are gonna have to to rally. 0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:39.600 It's and I agree with you for that matter, But 0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:42.880 I think it's interesting because I asked Rod Marinelli about 0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:47.000 them specifically yesterday Leyton and Jalen how they play, and 0:14:47.360 --> 0:14:50.440 he was like beside himself how he was, like they 0:14:50.480 --> 0:14:53.760 played amazing, like they were great and just oh fifty 0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:56.840 four fifty four was everywhere, like I mean, and and 0:14:56.960 --> 0:14:59.800 so they did, you know, I think honestly it's the 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:01.880 age old thing of like maybe they're victims of their 0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:04.200 own success, Like we've seen them do these things at 0:15:04.240 --> 0:15:06.680 such an early stage that it is. It's kind of 0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:08.800 staggering when they don't make a play that we think 0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:11.280 they can make. So what's up with the neck collar 0:15:11.680 --> 0:15:15.560 neck roll? Because is that Rod gave that to Jalen? 0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:19.760 Because I mean it's like old schools, like the old 0:15:19.760 --> 0:15:22.080 school player of the week or are you like the 0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:25.360 Lance Armstrong yellow jersey until someone takes it from you? Yeah, 0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:27.720 he's always got It's a permanent thing. I think, like 0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:30.760 he's Jalen's not giving that back, no, and he makes 0:15:30.760 --> 0:15:32.920 sure he's wearing it every time he talks to the meeting. 0:15:33.000 --> 0:15:35.280 Oh yeah, it was like Romo in those starter hats 0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:39.160 like oh get on, okay, go ready. Um it makes 0:15:39.160 --> 0:15:41.760 me uncomfortable every time. I like, just take it off. 0:15:41.920 --> 0:15:44.400 I don't. I don't remember why he got it, but 0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:47.040 Rod gave it to him sort of as like a girl, 0:15:47.040 --> 0:15:50.320 an old school tough like that's how football it's supposed 0:15:50.320 --> 0:15:53.240 to be. Type of thing. All right, Well that's like 0:15:53.280 --> 0:15:55.440 our first break. When we come back, we'll get into 0:15:55.520 --> 0:15:59.040 game date predictions.
