I'm Kyle 0:00:56.840 --> 0:01:00.320 Yeoman's note Rob Phillips today he will be back soon, 0:01:00.440 --> 0:01:04.479 but we have got the preview ongoing for the Dallas 0:01:04.520 --> 0:01:07.479 Cowboys and the Philadelphia Eagles. Today we take a look 0:01:07.720 --> 0:01:10.960 at the Cowboys defense. Can they get their momentum back? 0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:14.800 Can they find their swagger again against that cow or 0:01:14.880 --> 0:01:18.160 that Philadelphia offense? Actually I flipped it. We did that yesterday, 0:01:18.200 --> 0:01:21.679 didn't we? We did Philly offense yesterday so it's actually 0:01:21.800 --> 0:01:26.360 Philadelphia defense and what challenges they bring to the Dallas offense. 0:01:26.440 --> 0:01:28.680 But other than that, how are we doing? Everybody van 0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:34.480 Tabuls goingiful, good, fantastic, everybody's happy, everybody's healthy. Ready to 0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:37.600 go for this week. I know. I love the coin 0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:40.160 trigger that he's got back there. We do have some 0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:42.400 news and notes to hit even though Rob Phillips is 0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:46.440 not necessarily here. What right I saw heckma retweeted this 0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:48.600 off of my account yesterday. Did you do that on 0:01:48.680 --> 0:01:52.000 purpose because you were upset about your notification from Rob Phillips? 0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:55.800 Don't know what you're talking about. Michael Parsons, Oh, yeah, 0:01:56.280 --> 0:02:00.320 out with COVID. He's on the COVID list. I quote 0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:03.520 tweeted Rob's tweet and then he retweeted me, and so 0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:05.680 almost like, oh, that might be in spite of Rob 0:02:07.040 --> 0:02:10.120 Rob the Island's Twitter notifications that always get you up 0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:12.079 in arms. Nah, man, I forgot killed two breads with 0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:13.880 one stone, man, I can support both to you at 0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:16.320 the same time, so that all that's smart. That's smart. 0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:19.160 But yeah, Michael Parsons put on the COVID list prior 0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:22.320 to practice yesterday. It was even after Mike McCarthy's press 0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:25.200 conference that that came down, and so he is in 0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:28.760 question for this week. Now there is a possibility he's back, 0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:31.880 he has to test negative if he is vaccinated, if 0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:35.119 he's unvaccinated, it's five days regardless. So there's a way 0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:37.040 that he could potentially play. But I think at this 0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:40.160 point it's safe to say it's probably not happening, and 0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:42.600 the Dallas Cowboys for the most part, will be without 0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:45.880 their rookie linebacker. So I mean we'll start things off 0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:47.760 on that note. I promise we'll have some fun on 0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:52.720 this show. But uh yeah, you start with all I'm 0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:55.080 gonna have fun fun. Let mc gee's a bad news. 0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:57.440 What does this due to this defense? The fact that 0:02:57.520 --> 0:02:59.720 he's not available today. I mean, he's in on so 0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:03.480 many different packages that they have, So I just want 0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:07.280 to see how dan quinn is going to replace that production. 0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:10.560 It's gonna be interesting to see, and it probably gives 0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:12.919 some younger guys an opportunity to come in and see 0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:16.600 what they have. Guys like Bernard and the number fifty seven. 0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:21.520 His name is look Gifford, Yes Gifford, So look man, 0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:23.080 it gives us an opportunity to see some of our 0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:25.720 guys that hadn't gotten any reps all season. Sucks that 0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:27.920 we don't have guys like Jabril Cox. He went down 0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:30.680 earlier with the ACL injury. But you know, look, it's 0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:33.000 just next You want to say next man up, but 0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:35.360 there's no such thing, and it comes down to Michael 0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:38.240 Parsons and what he does on your team. It's unfortunate 0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:41.040 that he's possibly out. Hopefully hopefully he gets back. I 0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:43.680 know I presented this potential a couple of weeks ago, 0:03:43.680 --> 0:03:45.920 so hopefully I'm about the one who brought this, brought 0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:47.440 this on when I said if you and what happens 0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:50.720 if you don't have Michael Parsons and hopefully we have 0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:53.320 Neil back that he was back on the practice field 0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:55.800 yesterday week. So yeah, well that helps. With both of 0:03:55.800 --> 0:03:57.960 those guys are out, it would be a bigger problem obviously, 0:03:58.040 --> 0:04:02.680 But the ability to spy on Jalen Hurts now is 0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:06.520 uh compromised. It is severely compromised now that you don't 0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:09.240 have Michael Parsons, because you need somebody out there who's bigger, faster, 0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:11.760 stronger than a gentleman that you're trying to spy. And 0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:14.240 now that is no longer an option, So who would 0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:17.279 that be? And then it also throws you off now 0:04:17.360 --> 0:04:19.920 that Jeron Curse I'm here and has a hamstring, and yeah, 0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:21.960 you know that that he's limits. It's probably what my 0:04:22.000 --> 0:04:24.000 answer would have been. That would have been my answer too, 0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:26.400 But so that limits you all the way around. And 0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:29.960 and we've talked a lot about this team getting obviously 0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:32.880 they've gotten healthy throughout the season, but going into the 0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:37.080 going into the playoffs, healthy man sitting Jeron Curse if 0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:39.080 he's nursing a hamstring. We've always talked about those soft 0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:41.600 tissue issues that don't get any better by playing. So 0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:44.160 I definitely want him to rest well. He hurts us 0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:48.000 in terms of Goddard right the major way. I mean, 0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:50.960 I wouldn't have brought Cursed down to be on Jalen hurts. 0:04:50.960 --> 0:04:52.640 I mean you need him for Goddard. So now who 0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:55.559 steps up in that role? And remember Goddard's on COVID. 0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:58.000 Yeah he's on there as well. So they other guys 0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:01.640 went on COVID early on Monday, Monday, Monday Monday morning, 0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:03.920 so they've got an extra two days to try and 0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:05.800 get back. Is basically what that means. I have a 0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:08.000 good feeling they'll be cleared. You think all of them 0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:10.719 will be I mean all the guys that went on early. Yeah, wow, 0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:13.279 I think it'll be that that quick of a turnaround. 0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:15.360 That's what the rule wants it to happen. They don't 0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:19.520 want it to be a mass case of, Hey, these 0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:22.160 guys are missing your entire starting lineup, at least in 0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:24.760 the case of Philadelphia this time on COVID list. That's 0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:27.200 what the NFL is trying to avoid. So maybe that 0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:29.000 is the case. Maybe they do get some guys back 0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:31.000 and it is enough for them to be able to play. 0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:34.120 But yeah, without Michael Parsons with a banged up Jay 0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:37.479 Wren curse. I mean that means you're looking at Luke 0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:42.560 Gifford covering Dallas Goddard. I think you don't even don't 0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:46.000 even put that together. Kean Aneil covering Dallas Goddard probably, 0:05:46.320 --> 0:05:47.560 I don't know who you who do you bring in? 0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:49.480 You have to bring in Nashan. Nashan has been playing 0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:51.479 a lot of special teams lately, so, I mean, he's 0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:53.120 had some reps, so maybe that's something that you just 0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:55.720 bring him into that position. Throw Israel mccuama into the 0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:58.040 mix as well. I love Israel mcquama. I mean, but 0:05:58.120 --> 0:05:59.760 you have to be able to hit, So I'm not 0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:02.360 sure if he's sure that aspect of his game up yet. Yeah. 0:06:02.480 --> 0:06:04.560 Is he physical enough to come downhill and be able 0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:07.200 to guard a guy like Goddard? Yeah, that's tough because 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:10.320 I mean you're so thin at the linebacker spot. Maybe 0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:12.400 you get a guy like Francis Bernard back who was 0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:15.680 also on the COVID list. And oh man, it's it's 0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:18.480 the running game that concerns me from this regard, So 0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:21.800 tight ends and running game. Yeah, tight End's cool, for sure, 0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:23.880 that's gonna be a play action type of deal. But 0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:26.400 I think mostly this running game. I think Philadelphia is 0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:28.839 really gonna come in, or we're gonna go to Philadelphia, 0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:31.080 and Philadelphia is gonna come in with a mindset that 0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:33.160 they're gonna run the ball. Yeah, they're not gonna change it. No, 0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:35.400 they're not. So the fact that they're doing so well 0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:37.799 with that, and the fact that now you're you're gimpie 0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:40.080 at the second level and now your third level, who 0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:42.279 normally walks down to the box may not be present 0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:46.080 as well, that's a that's a pretty severe double headed 0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:48.160 little monster. We just took on there. So who does 0:06:48.200 --> 0:06:50.640 that put the pressure on? Defensively? Does that put the 0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:53.480 I just heard the interior D lineman. Okay, I mean 0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:55.720 the same as last week, the interior D line. Last week, 0:06:55.720 --> 0:06:57.960 the defensive ends did a great job at getting pressure upfield. 0:06:57.960 --> 0:07:00.520 We already talked about that, but you know more and 0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:02.640 the rest of the crew on the interior that walking. 0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:05.280 All those guys have to have a presence. They really 0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:07.200 have to be dominant because not only do you need 0:07:07.240 --> 0:07:09.040 to be able to disrupt Jalen Hurts and at the 0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:10.960 quarterback position, but you have to be able to stop 0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:13.800 Scott and Howard and those guys. M No, it's a 0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:17.200 tough assignment, and you're right, we're shorthanded. But going into 0:07:17.280 --> 0:07:20.200 this last game that I think the ideal is mentally 0:07:20.720 --> 0:07:23.680 is to get guys prepared for the first playoff game 0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:26.160 at home. Um, you can't go into this game thinking, 0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:29.040 oh man, it's obviously it's it's a blessing that we 0:07:29.120 --> 0:07:31.000 don't This isn't the one that we have to get 0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:34.600 because getting that Michael news would have been devastating. But 0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:37.360 at the same time, this is one where you offensively, 0:07:37.480 --> 0:07:39.960 that's where our mind has been not so much on 0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:41.840 this defense. But when you talk about guys at the 0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:47.080 second level, uh said Wilson. Oh not excuse me, M Wilson, 0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:50.360 our safeties, you know, guys like that, you know they 0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:52.280 have to they have to come on. I mean there's 0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:54.960 been times where, you know, the second level, we've questioned 0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:58.040 our safety play, um and Malie Hooker has coming on 0:07:58.480 --> 0:08:00.840 as well. So when we talk about who's going to 0:08:00.920 --> 0:08:05.400 cover Dallas Goddard, I personally put the onus on our safeties. Yeah, 0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:08.080 I do as well, And I think that obviously Setti 0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:10.240 and Hooker, those guys have a big presence in the 0:08:10.320 --> 0:08:12.720 running game. So I don't think that we'll yeah yeah, 0:08:12.840 --> 0:08:15.480 miss miss person that regard, I think that those guys 0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:19.840 come downhill and they come with bad intentions. However, when 0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:22.160 you are so aggressive, when you know that that is 0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:24.360 what the team is asking of you to be physical, 0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:26.720 to have that you know that that that impact that 0:08:26.800 --> 0:08:30.040 that positions at that particular level, I think it works 0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:33.480 against you because because now you can become overly aggressive, 0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:35.480 right you can, because you could be so committed to 0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:37.880 stopping the run that now God or can sneak up 0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:40.320 behind you. But also when you think about the Philadelphia 0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:42.719 passing game and what they do. You know that it's 0:08:42.880 --> 0:08:44.760 what they do. It's more of a Dincon dunk for sure. 0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:47.200 So I don't know how where they are about. Even 0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:49.719 with the DeVante Smith and all the speed that they have, 0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:52.439 they can't fall asleep on that. But again, you your 0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:55.160 your your attention has to be at the line of 0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:57.520 scrimmage and just keeping things in front of usual. So 0:08:57.640 --> 0:08:59.839 one of the good things about yesterday too, outside of 0:08:59.880 --> 0:09:02.800 the Parsons news, is that everybody else that was either 0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:05.920 on the roster or on the practice squad was available 0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:08.679 at practice, So it wasn't like it was a bigger 0:09:08.760 --> 0:09:11.719 issue at the moment. And hopefully it's contained within just 0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:13.880 the linebacker room at the moment, because that's what I 0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:15.559 see this as. I think. I see it as a 0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:18.600 continuation of what had happened out of the linebacker group 0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:22.600 and hopefully that stays the same going into that divisional round. 0:09:22.640 --> 0:09:25.200 By the way, Michael Parsons did tweet out yesterday following 0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:27.520 the breaking news. He said, I'm saddened by the news. 0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:29.599 I feel like I let my team down in the 0:09:29.679 --> 0:09:32.600 Dallas Cowboys Nation down. I'll be back better than ever 0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:35.800 I'm only gonna be more hungry. See you soon hashtag 0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:40.560 Lion Bazuka the Bazuka. Yeah. If I'm a team that's 0:09:40.600 --> 0:09:42.800 getting ready to face the Cowboys in the first round 0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:45.959 of the playoffs and Michael Parsons is one week rested 0:09:46.400 --> 0:09:49.040 and a little bit angry, I don't know if I'm 0:09:49.040 --> 0:09:52.240 okay with that he's starved, had any food. I don't know. 0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:54.400 I don't know if I'm super excited about that, but 0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:58.079 at least talking about this Philadelphia game. Does his absence 0:09:58.240 --> 0:10:02.679 take away a significant bite from that defense? Or is 0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:06.040 it still one of those those ways where you look 0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:08.080 at and you say, Okay, Dan Quinn's running this thing. 0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:10.280 De Marcus Lawrence is still there, Randy Gregory's still there, 0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:13.760 Treyvon Diggs is still there. Even without Michael Parsons. Does 0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:16.320 this defense still have a similar bite? You just answered 0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:18.920 the question. You just called off all the dogs. You 0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:21.520 just said the names. I mean, last time I check, 0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:25.959 Dipsey Hustle, we got DeMarcus Lawrence, we still have Randy Gregory. 0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:30.200 So I feel good about our ability to present pressure. Uh, 0:10:30.480 --> 0:10:33.800 you know, I just he's so such a versatile player 0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:36.160 and the way that Dan Quinn uses him. That's the 0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:38.959 one thing that I'm gonna miss, especially with when you 0:10:39.040 --> 0:10:41.880 talk about getting that pressure up the middle, his isolation 0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:44.880 plays and mugging an a gap and you know, pretting 0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:48.360 the fear of God and a left guard knowing that 0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:51.080 you know he could potentially be coming. But we've already 0:10:51.200 --> 0:10:52.520 you know, said it like, it's going to be a 0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:56.000 big responsibility on the second level of our safeties. You're 0:10:56.040 --> 0:10:58.480 always gonna lv Is gonna have to step up and 0:10:58.600 --> 0:11:00.679 do a better job. If we go to more of 0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:02.800 a zone look and he has to cover a deep 0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:06.199 third on Dallas Goddard, he has to be there, you know. 0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:08.640 So look, the play action is going to be big. 0:11:08.720 --> 0:11:11.120 And I know that these guys may get sucked up 0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:13.080 on the run some, but we just can't give up 0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:16.400 those big gash plays behind us. There's no replacing Michael Parsons. 0:11:16.520 --> 0:11:18.559 If he's not there, you're gonna miss him. But you know, 0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:20.800 to Heck's point, to your point, there are other guys 0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:23.240 that can obviously make plays on this team. There's there's 0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:24.880 a lot of dogs on his defense. It hasn't just 0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:26.599 been the Michael Parsons show. Has been a lot of 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:29.959 dudes contributing and impacting the game. A lot of guys 0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:32.640 have been beating there and winning their matchups. It's just 0:11:32.800 --> 0:11:34.800 Michael Parsons a lot of times has been a benefactor 0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:36.839 of it. Right. He's kind of like that extra that 0:11:36.960 --> 0:11:38.640 extra card that you slap down on there. It's like 0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:41.600 the space Oh yeah, go on it, man, You had 0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:43.480 to have that one in your hand too, hunt. So 0:11:43.800 --> 0:11:48.120 I mean yeah, So obviously he will be missed if 0:11:48.160 --> 0:11:51.240 he is not pressing for this game. But in a sense, 0:11:51.679 --> 0:11:53.880 either way, it's a win. Right. If he's there, you 0:11:53.960 --> 0:11:56.080 have his physical presence. If he's not there, there are 0:11:56.160 --> 0:11:58.160 guys that now have to step up and make plays, 0:11:58.240 --> 0:12:01.000 and they now have the opportunity to build a confidence. 0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:03.520 And now you have opportunity to build more confidence in 0:12:03.600 --> 0:12:06.520 your depth at that position going into the playoffs, and 0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:08.439 that also can be beneficial as well. So do you 0:12:08.520 --> 0:12:10.760 think he could be sort of a blessing in disguise 0:12:10.960 --> 0:12:13.880 the fact that one he's it's this week and not 0:12:14.400 --> 0:12:18.560 the wildcard week, and the fact that you can actually 0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:21.800 rest him and maybe a couple other guys just by 0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:25.360 lack of choice that's presented in front of you. Yeah, yeah, 0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:28.240 I don't want to say probably our best deepens a 0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:31.000 player obviously not being on the field as a blessing, 0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:33.599 but that's true. If yeah, but but if him not. 0:12:34.160 --> 0:12:35.480 If there was a choice, if you had to pick 0:12:35.520 --> 0:12:38.160 between this week and next week, obviously yes, yes, obviously 0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:41.560 yes to your point, But I mean anytime that there's 0:12:41.600 --> 0:12:43.920 other guys on your roster that have a playing the 0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:46.559 opportunity to have more playing time and they have in 0:12:46.679 --> 0:12:48.480 which they haven't had. Some of these guys you know 0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:50.120 that are going to be forced into that role now. 0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:52.960 They haven't had the playing time at the linebacker position. 0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:54.719 They've had it on special teams and they've had a 0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:57.440 presence there, but nour Gifford, those guys now they're going 0:12:57.520 --> 0:12:59.559 to be thrust it possibly into the role of having 0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:02.960 in play against a playoff caliber team. Yeah, these guys 0:13:02.960 --> 0:13:04.960 are in the playoffs. So now you get some playoff 0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:07.400 experience without having to risk a playoff game, and that 0:13:07.640 --> 0:13:09.559 is going to be obviously beneficial to your depth And 0:13:09.600 --> 0:13:11.640 almost look at it like a preseason game. So when 0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:14.680 you're you're getting guys those reps and it, like you said, 0:13:14.880 --> 0:13:16.920 everything that you just said, I think is a smart 0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:19.280 way to approach it because then you know who these 0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:21.800 guys are when they can when when the five, when 0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:25.880 is really live rounds going and again this is next week. 0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:27.880 Next week is when it's gonna be for real, like 0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:29.600 we're gonna we want to make sure we get through 0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:34.200 this week. We want to get through healthy. I love football, 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:37.040 I love playoff for you know, I was last night. 0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:40.520 I was writing up we're putting together at a hype video, 0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:42.720 so peak behind the curtain. We're putting together putting together 0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:44.920 a hype video. We'll release it on social, but we're 0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:48.160 also putting it before the pregame show as well. You 0:13:48.240 --> 0:13:50.040 might hear one of the voices that's in this room 0:13:50.559 --> 0:13:55.160 on that hype video. I don't know who, but yeah. 0:13:55.240 --> 0:13:57.760 So I was writing up the script for the hype 0:13:57.840 --> 0:14:00.160 video and then had a couple of different version is 0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:04.079 based on who we play. No stop it. But I 0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:07.560 was getting so hype, like I wasn't even watching the video. 0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:09.839 I was just writing about the playoffs, and it was 0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:11.960 like this is sick, Like this is gonna be awesome. 0:14:12.120 --> 0:14:13.800 It's first time I've been a part of a playoff 0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:15.839 run here because I got here in twenty nineteen. So 0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:17.679 I haven't been a part of a run here. I 0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:19.640 don't think either one of you. You've You've been a 0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:21.880 part of plenty of playoff runs. So this is my 0:14:22.040 --> 0:14:24.000 first go at it. I'm excited. I am. I think 0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:26.120 it's a lot of fun. Well, football is real and 0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:28.120 for everybody out there that believes at all it's just 0:14:28.200 --> 0:14:31.320 another game. The heck it is. The game gets turned up, 0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:33.880 the intensity is turned up, the hits are harder, guys 0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:37.640 are faster. Every play matters, the mind games and chess 0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:40.760 games on the field. Everything is a hiding like crazy, 0:14:41.160 --> 0:14:43.920 and you will feel it from the first kickoff. It's 0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:46.120 gonna be wild. You'll even get a little sense of 0:14:46.200 --> 0:14:47.920 that this week. There will be a little sense of 0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:54.080 that because you look a little bit of that. Okay, 0:14:54.400 --> 0:14:56.240 but you won't get her voice could get that high. 0:14:56.320 --> 0:14:58.480 You won't get the full effect until next week. But move. 0:14:58.560 --> 0:15:00.400 We gotta get through this week. We're all gonna yelling 0:15:00.480 --> 0:15:04.240 like heckma. After that Posers playoff game, either good or bad, 0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:06.640 we'll get right back in here and we'll just all 0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:13.240 be into the mic. Oh yeah, funk sway. One final 0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:15.240 note on Michael Parsons before we move on to the 0:15:15.280 --> 0:15:17.920 offense in the next segment, but Michael Parsons will finish 0:15:18.440 --> 0:15:21.480 two sacks away from the rookie sack record because he 0:15:21.640 --> 0:15:23.920 is not available this week. For the most part, he 0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:28.400 was one and a half off. Jay Von hurst uh 0:15:29.120 --> 0:15:32.120 back in nineteen ninety had fourteen point five. Yeah, he 0:15:32.200 --> 0:15:35.200 was a freak. Alden Smith had fourteen. Michael Parsons will 0:15:35.200 --> 0:15:41.760 be tied with Dwight Freeney with thirteen sixteen games too, right, 0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:43.640 I mean those guys play sixteen games, so you can 0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:46.800 get a true right there. Right, So he he's that's 0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:49.480 not bad company. Yeah, it's kind of going back to 0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:51.480 what people were talking about with t J. Watt getting 0:15:51.520 --> 0:15:53.680 close to the all time sack record in a single season. 0:15:53.720 --> 0:15:56.400 They're like, they're like, oh, it's seventeen games. Whatever. No, 0:15:56.520 --> 0:15:59.080 he's played fourteen. He will be playing fifteen by the 0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:04.120 time he's done. Watches, you're still doing yes insanity. What 0:16:04.160 --> 0:16:06.200 do you think about Cooper Cup's comments about the asterix. 0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:09.280 It's about how he doesn't like that you're going to 0:16:09.360 --> 0:16:11.880 break records that were set in sixteen games. He's pretty yeah, 0:16:12.000 --> 0:16:13.760 he's pretty much saying that you should put asterisk next 0:16:13.760 --> 0:16:15.520 to all the records that are broken. I mean you 0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:17.320 could say the same thing about the guys who broke 0:16:17.360 --> 0:16:20.160 the record that I agree. There used to be what 0:16:20.320 --> 0:16:22.760 ten games in the league back in the day, So yeah, 0:16:22.800 --> 0:16:24.800 I think I think records are meant to be broken. 0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:27.480 So that's how it goes. But when we come back 0:16:27.520 --> 0:16:30.680 here on talking Cowboys, could Dak Prescott and the Cowboys 0:16:30.760 --> 0:16:33.320 offense replicate some of the success that they had in 0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:36.560 Week three of the NFL season. We'll talk about it 0:16:36.640 --> 0:16:40.920 next right after the break.
