Speaker 1: The following. Here's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. Cowboys, Let's go. Are
Speaker 1: you ready for a break? Yes? Are you ready for
Speaker 1: a break? Absolutely? Ready for a break? Yeah, and so
Speaker 1: much for that. It's time for The Break on Dallas
Speaker 1: Cowboys dot Com wall with Nick Eatman, Brian brought Us
Speaker 1: and bar Garcia and Derek Eagleton. It is Friday, October
Speaker 1: twenty eight, twenty twenty two, Season eight eighteen, episode number
Speaker 1: sixty one. Welcome to the latest edition of The Break.
Speaker 1: We are live from the s WBC Morga Studios at
Speaker 1: the Star presented by Milla Light, the only beer of
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys, and today we will get you guys
Speaker 1: ready for Cowboys Versus Beers. It happens is Sunday at
Speaker 1: noon at at and T Stadium. We'll have some fan questions.
Speaker 1: You guys have already loaded me up. Thank you guys
Speaker 1: out there on Twitter. Got plenty of questions from fans.
Speaker 1: Let's start first with injury report, and let's talk about
Speaker 1: some of these injuries. And here in the last I
Speaker 1: guess five to ten minutes, we got a little bit
Speaker 1: of an indication on what's happening with Zeke. That sounds
Speaker 1: a little different than what Mike McCarthy was willing to give.
Speaker 1: It sounds like Jerry Jones was on the fan and
Speaker 1: gave his own perspective on that. I'll read this quote
Speaker 1: our own Patrick Walker. It tweeted this the quote from Jerry.
Speaker 1: Yeah for sure, and it has everything to do And
Speaker 1: this was in reference to whether he could Zeke could
Speaker 1: be ruled out this Sunday. Yeah for sure, And it
Speaker 1: has everything to do with how we're how this weekend.
Speaker 1: I don't know how Patrick rowth this this weekend with
Speaker 1: this buy coming up. I'm not sure we would have
Speaker 1: done it this way had we not had to buy.
Speaker 1: This just gives us too good of an opportunity, and
Speaker 1: we'll see how he responds as the week goes along,
Speaker 1: and if we don't use Zeke to get him in
Speaker 1: top shape. Mike McCarthy said something to the effect of
Speaker 1: he does have a chance to play in the event
Speaker 1: he practices tomorrow. He is trending well, but it all
Speaker 1: is gonna come down to a game time decision. What
Speaker 1: are you guys thinking, What do you think happens here?
Speaker 1: I think this said coach hates that the owner talks
Speaker 1: twice a week because everything Jerry just said for seventy
Speaker 1: that quote is that he's not going to play, right,
Speaker 1: and then he gets to say at the end that's
Speaker 1: if we don't use Zeke. So, I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 1: It sounds like and then McCarthy's trying to play a
Speaker 1: game with the Bears, you know, like, well, maybe he's
Speaker 1: looking good, he could play, you know, And so I
Speaker 1: wrote the story as if they played today, he's not
Speaker 1: going to play, but if he continues to make progress,
Speaker 1: then you know, it sounds like if McCarthy says, if hey,
Speaker 1: if Britt Brown and Zeke said, hey, I'm good to
Speaker 1: go on Sunday, they're not going to not play him. Yeah. Right.
Speaker 1: I think Nick's story it's going to be very accurate here.
Speaker 1: I think that to me, the word I was heard
Speaker 1: was slim you know, and I said, oh, thank you,
Speaker 1: I'm trying my best to slim down. No, yeah, talking,
Speaker 1: I'm talking about me. No, we've talked the player, dumb a.
Speaker 1: But no, it's the it's it's the uh the word. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And you know, you know, Mike, and I think Nick's right,
Speaker 1: you know, Mike, Mike's learning, and Mike's been here all
Speaker 1: these years now He's like, oh wait, I have a
Speaker 1: general manager. It actually talks to everybody. I mean Green
Speaker 1: Bay Ted Thompson never talked to anybody about anything. So
Speaker 1: that's the great thing about work with the Cowboys. You know,
Speaker 1: you you got an owner that gets out there, general
Speaker 1: manager gets out there and lets the fans know what's
Speaker 1: going on. But in this case, I was told the
Speaker 1: words Slim, so I'd stick with your story. I think
Speaker 1: it would be a good chick Slim today, Slim today,
Speaker 1: because because I think Slim is about thirty minutes ago. Okay,
Speaker 1: you know, and that's that's interesting because I mean when
Speaker 1: you look at what he did Wednesday, didn't do anything Thursday,
Speaker 1: came out there for the cameras and did some stuff,
Speaker 1: bounced around as what McCarthy said, and then see how
Speaker 1: how it goes today. But you know, I think it's
Speaker 1: one way to go, man, Bye week. You know you
Speaker 1: got to buy just or you can look at it
Speaker 1: and say, gotta win this game. Gotta win this game,
Speaker 1: and you're gonna play with Zeke Malik Davis and Tony Pollard,
Speaker 1: or you're gonna play with Pollard Malik Davis and Quadrea Allison.
Speaker 1: I'd look at that knee and I'd say, well, what
Speaker 1: can happen? You know, And I'd use the bye week.
Speaker 1: On another way, I'd like, I mean, you can look
Speaker 1: at this two ways. I look at the bye week
Speaker 1: and say, well, you know, if he's still sure, you
Speaker 1: got the bye week as opposed to the two weeks.
Speaker 1: So I wouldn't rule it out either. I just you know,
Speaker 1: it's funny that we're here sitting trying to guess. But
Speaker 1: it's like it's Friday, the game is on Sunday. It's
Speaker 1: not like the game is five days away where you
Speaker 1: think that, okay, that's enough time. You're talking about maybe
Speaker 1: two days where you would know already. Kind of how
Speaker 1: that looks. Mike McCarthy talked about it, and he mentioned
Speaker 1: how in practice he looked like he was trying to
Speaker 1: ramp it up and go a little too quick, and
Speaker 1: they're kind of like, oh, slow down, you're looking good,
Speaker 1: but slow it down a little bit, and mentioned let's
Speaker 1: see what he does tomorrow in tomorrow's practice. But to me,
Speaker 1: I don't see this game being a full on necessity,
Speaker 1: like this is not you're gonna win or lose this game,
Speaker 1: whether Zeke is available or not. I think they can
Speaker 1: still get away with a win without having to put
Speaker 1: Zeke out there. And they know better. They know, and
Speaker 1: I think that Zeke is very much in tune with
Speaker 1: I would imagine after experiencing last year with kind of
Speaker 1: his body to where he's not necessarily gonna be saying
Speaker 1: something that are like trying to hide something just for
Speaker 1: the sake of being out there in plane. I think
Speaker 1: he's mature enough to know, oh hey, maybe I do
Speaker 1: need to sit this one out, even though he's a
Speaker 1: huge competitor. But either way, I just don't see it. Yes,
Speaker 1: I would love to have Zeke out there, but I
Speaker 1: just don't see this being like, man it all win
Speaker 1: or lose is gonna depend on whether it's Seek is
Speaker 1: there or not. I think they can effectively still run
Speaker 1: the ball with a guy like Tony Pollard, and then
Speaker 1: if you want to put my leak Davis out there too, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I kind of agree with the Amber, but it's more
Speaker 1: about the fact that I think I think Tony Pollard
Speaker 1: can still be Tony Pollard and probably give you a
Speaker 1: little bit more. I think Malik Davis at least what
Speaker 1: I've seen so far suggests that he can do maybe
Speaker 1: what you don't want Polar to do. Nick, you talked
Speaker 1: about it yesterday, those short yardage, those goal line type situations.
Speaker 1: I think he might be okay to be able to
Speaker 1: do that if you don't want to give it to Pollard,
Speaker 1: Because I do think Pola can do some of that.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't put him in a situation where he's doing
Speaker 1: that over a five or six week period, but for
Speaker 1: one game, and you've got Malik Davis. I do feel
Speaker 1: like you have enough in your back field that you
Speaker 1: can still do some effective things to be able to
Speaker 1: run the ball, especially against the defense that is shown
Speaker 1: it's not great against the run. So I actually agree
Speaker 1: with you on that. Amber. Wow. I say wow because
Speaker 1: he said I actually agree, Like we're all, well, no,
Speaker 1: it's not that. It's more that I don't know that
Speaker 1: a lot of people out there listening to us, and
Speaker 1: I don't even know if these two guys hitting here
Speaker 1: with us agree with that. I think a lot of
Speaker 1: people probably would think, hey, no, deep makes a huge difference.
Speaker 1: I bet if you ask the coaches, they probably say,
Speaker 1: we think when four games with a backup quarterback I'll
Speaker 1: believe anything. They can do anything right now. They do
Speaker 1: anything right now. But you know that it's as long
Speaker 1: as this game is going to come down there to
Speaker 1: their ability to play defense. And it's gonna come down
Speaker 1: to can you make the Bears very one dimensional? If
Speaker 1: you make them very one dimensional, force their quarterback to
Speaker 1: have to make plays like Amber says, running the ball
Speaker 1: with Tony Pollard and Davis and Dak throwing the ball
Speaker 1: to Schultz and you know into CD and those guys.
Speaker 1: You should score enough points to beat these guys. That's
Speaker 1: where this is going to come down to. You got
Speaker 1: to look at the big picture this thing, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it's important to win games. It really is,
Speaker 1: because you only have what seventeen of these now, right
Speaker 1: and the fact that you know Philadelphia hasn't lost yet.
Speaker 1: You know, you can't just go into a game. I mean,
Speaker 1: if if your players are just on the you know,
Speaker 1: if fifty fifty on playing or not, you got to
Speaker 1: really consider that because you can't keep giving away games.
Speaker 1: I mean, you look at the Eagle schedule in the
Speaker 1: way that they're playing. They got a lot of the
Speaker 1: similar teams that you have, but they also have a
Speaker 1: couple in there that they should just walk and you're like, going, okay,
Speaker 1: how far you know it helped last night to the
Speaker 1: Buccaneers lose. I mean, let everybody just keep losing, and
Speaker 1: you know, if you don't win the division, get the
Speaker 1: best seating you can in that wildcard bracket. You know,
Speaker 1: that's that's the thing at the end of the day.
Speaker 1: Just add them all up and you know, losing a
Speaker 1: game to the Bears and then going into the buy
Speaker 1: being five and three in Philadelphia, playing Pittsburgh, probably being
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh now and in Houston next week. Yeah, and then
Speaker 1: you're going, well, okay, look now we're we playing for
Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna catch them. It's something bad gonna
Speaker 1: happen to them. So I'm you know, I'm I'm I'm
Speaker 1: about winning these games if you can. But I'm also
Speaker 1: big picture thinking Green Bay, Minnesota, you know, games with
Speaker 1: the you know, games with the see South coming up.
Speaker 1: I mean, just think a big picture of what you're
Speaker 1: gonna have to do, you know, to to put yourself
Speaker 1: in position to get in the playoffs. Now, yesterday we
Speaker 1: had a couple of guys pop up on the injury report.
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons popped up there, so does Sam Williams. Although
Speaker 1: Mica was limited, Sam Williams did not practice. What are
Speaker 1: we hearing about them? Sounds like Sam Williams, Uh, he's
Speaker 1: got to practice tomorrow to be able to play. Michael Parsons.
Speaker 1: I don't think is an issue at all. You know,
Speaker 1: you gotta remember everything's got to be reported on the
Speaker 1: injury report or you can get fined for it. So
Speaker 1: anything and everything that keeps you out for a little bit, hang, now,
Speaker 1: you gotta go to the bathroom. You know, they might
Speaker 1: just say stomach, you know, whatever. If you miss happens, happens,
Speaker 1: it happens. So anyways, I think he's fine. Sam Williams, though,
Speaker 1: we'll see that that could be an issue. Their knee injury.
Speaker 1: It pops up on the middle of the week, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe maybe not. Yeah, late in the day, I kind
Speaker 1: of got the indication that Sam might be okay, It
Speaker 1: might be okay, but like Nick says, I mean, you
Speaker 1: never know. I mean they say it's gonna be okay
Speaker 1: and then something, you know, maybe he wakes up and
Speaker 1: it's not exactly okay. But last night late because I
Speaker 1: was concerned, like Sam Williams what knee you know, and
Speaker 1: the comment I got what should be? Okay? Okay, So well,
Speaker 1: you know, but all these players, you kind of need
Speaker 1: to be worried man, Noah Brown. People are asking me
Speaker 1: what they're gonna do with Noah Brown's foot's not good? Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, does Tilbert get more opportunity? What happens you
Speaker 1: play more twelve personnel? What do you how do you
Speaker 1: work around these things? So, yeah, you start taking you know,
Speaker 1: Noah Brown. You know, Noah Brown will come up with
Speaker 1: four catches a game to him might be a first down,
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, he's he won the damn Cincinnati
Speaker 1: game for you, making five for five catches, you know.
Speaker 1: So he's a guy that you're gonna probably need, you know,
Speaker 1: in this football game. So there's a lot of moving parts.
Speaker 1: You're going into this game right before the bye. They're
Speaker 1: they're spewing oil right now. They're just trying to get
Speaker 1: it to the finish line. Mallie Cooker, where are we
Speaker 1: on him? I don't know, man, that one didn't sound good.
Speaker 1: String missus two days? Uh didn't practice at all? Yeah, practice.
Speaker 1: He was slimping around in the game the other day too.
Speaker 1: Social media. Yeah, no, we haven't. We didn't change it.
Speaker 1: We didn't change it. I haven't change it. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: at this point, he's got a backup plan. You think
Speaker 1: he might play. We'll see what happens on Friday. We'll
Speaker 1: see what happens today when the injury report comes out
Speaker 1: for a lot of guys. I mean this is where
Speaker 1: they put a status on there. We'll see what they
Speaker 1: do with Zeke. We'll see what they do with Maili Cooker,
Speaker 1: he's a two word guy. Uh, see what they do
Speaker 1: with whoever else who U Shults, Steel, they were on there,
Speaker 1: but they were limited. So yeah, Shultz was Steel was
Speaker 1: fine and Shultz were fine. From what I Shoults will
Speaker 1: be on the injury report for the rest of the year. Yeah, probably, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, it could be the way that the
Speaker 1: way that injury is, it just could be. I mean,
Speaker 1: keeps getting bent back like that, it'll be on it everywhere. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was thinking like that, that's certainly that's the worst
Speaker 1: worst tackle a guy could have that's coming off a
Speaker 1: knee injury. That one, that one You're like, Okay, he's done.
Speaker 1: It's the final straw. He's that is it. We're gonna
Speaker 1: check our first record. We'll come back. They want to
Speaker 1: ask you, guys about Daman Clark. He's been activated at
Speaker 1: this point, so I want to get your thoughts on

Speaker 1: be used, and how soon talk about that when we

Speaker 1: bit about demo. Clark Um, Sorry, sorry, you're good, Chris,
Speaker 1: you're good. Was Ryan just waiting for you? You You just
Speaker 1: waiting for you? Yes? And I'm sorry. Yeah, we can't
Speaker 1: put the hand up. We can't go to the next
Speaker 1: part of the show until he hears that ding, So
Speaker 1: make sure you get that for him, all right, Damon Clark,
Speaker 1: he got activated this week. He is. He is a
Speaker 1: draft pick that has been I think talked about a lot,
Speaker 1: going back to the Draft show, by a lot of
Speaker 1: different shows. I think there's a lot of excitement in
Speaker 1: seeing him and seeing what he can bring to this team.
Speaker 1: How much do you guys expect him to play this
Speaker 1: weekend and in what kind of role? I don't He's
Speaker 1: one of those guys I have to see it before
Speaker 1: I believe that he's gonna play. Um. I think obviously
Speaker 1: there there's a reason why he's on the roster. They're
Speaker 1: gonna ease him into special teams. It could be this week.
Speaker 1: I could also see them say let's let's hold this
Speaker 1: off and see, you know, with this game they want
Speaker 1: to keep him even more like comfortable with what's happening
Speaker 1: with special teams. I don't know, and they're not gonna
Speaker 1: say it until they throw him out there. It would
Speaker 1: not shock me if he doesn't play, But you know,
Speaker 1: maybe this is the type of game where he can
Speaker 1: get out there where his first game is not gonna
Speaker 1: be Lambeau field against Green Bay. So if he's ready,
Speaker 1: play him, but you know, who's who for? Who who's
Speaker 1: he coming out for? I mean, who are you taking
Speaker 1: out to bro Cox? I mean he didn't play all
Speaker 1: the time anyways. Luke Gifford. Yeah, I don't see that happening.
Speaker 1: They're not gonna They're not gonna take Louke Gifford off
Speaker 1: the field for him for special teams. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: so I don't I don't know about that one. Or
Speaker 1: maybe you don't bring up Quadrea Allison and you and
Speaker 1: you just have two running backs and then you know
Speaker 1: your third guy is gonna be a lot of special
Speaker 1: teams anyways, So maybe he's there. You just hold your
Speaker 1: breath and hope that nobody gets hurt of running back. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you might be in a situation too where with you know,
Speaker 1: with your with your you mentioned with your running backs,
Speaker 1: your third running back usually plays as that special team guy, right,
Speaker 1: So maybe you're saying, well, yeah, we're not going to
Speaker 1: dress the third running back. We're just gonna go with
Speaker 1: the two running backs and then and then we'll address him.
Speaker 1: You might be in the situation too. Noah Brown's a
Speaker 1: big special teams guy for you as well. So all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, if Noah Brown doesn't dress, there's your
Speaker 1: switch off for the for the special teams. So yeah,
Speaker 1: it's you know, I think I think you find a way.
Speaker 1: I think you find a way to get him to play,
Speaker 1: just because I think you, like Nick said, this isn't
Speaker 1: Lambeau feeling like that, you kind of want to You
Speaker 1: kind of want to see where he's at and if
Speaker 1: he plays, and then you got the bye week if
Speaker 1: something comes up that you can now reevaluate like oh okay,
Speaker 1: this this happened, or no I made it through fine,
Speaker 1: you know. So, I just don't know how you keep
Speaker 1: a six three, two hundred and forty five pound guy
Speaker 1: off the field, you know that plays as well as
Speaker 1: he doesn't. This is not lsu homerism, but this kid
Speaker 1: is tough and he's physical, and I mean he's allowed
Speaker 1: to deal with when you watch him play, I mean
Speaker 1: he causes problems. I mean the games I watched him
Speaker 1: play and just for evaluations A and m Alabama floor,
Speaker 1: I mean those are big games. Those are big games.
Speaker 1: And this guy's like sideline the sidelines. You know, he's
Speaker 1: making tackles, He flows well, he runs well, I mean
Speaker 1: they're talking about him with him and Mica and that competition.
Speaker 1: You hear about this with like the GPS speed, Like
Speaker 1: you know, these guys are having a competition to see
Speaker 1: who can run the fastest. I'd say a sixty three,
Speaker 1: two hundred forty five pound guy running like that number
Speaker 1: eleven runs the same way. You know, I think you
Speaker 1: kind of kind of find a spot just to see
Speaker 1: what what you got if even if it's taking Jabril
Speaker 1: Cox out of there, you know, okay, I'm sorry, it's
Speaker 1: LSU on LSU crime here. You're gonna tell you're coming off,
Speaker 1: you're going on, you know that kind of thing. I
Speaker 1: talked to Dak about him the other day, about him
Speaker 1: and Clark, and he said what he loves about him
Speaker 1: is that he is absolutely all business. You know, he
Speaker 1: goes immediately once he got here. Britt Brown fell in
Speaker 1: love with him. If you don't know Britt Brown, like
Speaker 1: that's a big deal like that, that's that's a thing
Speaker 1: right there. He's intense, like intense people and demo. Clark
Speaker 1: was serious about his rehab, serious about coming back, didn't
Speaker 1: care what the other doctor said. But he won't play
Speaker 1: this year. He said, watch me watch this and you know,
Speaker 1: Dak said, watching him at LSU, He's like, there's a
Speaker 1: tradition there. I mean, if you wear number seven and
Speaker 1: you wear number eighteen on LSU's team, doesn't matter what position,
Speaker 1: you are a badass. Yeah, because you wouldn't get the
Speaker 1: number if you weren't. So he said when he saw that,
Speaker 1: and he said, he pops up on tape. He said,
Speaker 1: he's a Louisiana kid to Dak, you know as well
Speaker 1: as I am. And Treeport right treport, Yeah, probably spent
Speaker 1: the least time there of that year. It was a year.
Speaker 1: It was my first year of my life. It was,
Speaker 1: it was it was an interesting year, interesting year. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I'll tell you what. The Dak's got this kid,
Speaker 1: right though. Yeah, he really does. Man. I mean and
Speaker 1: Britt is, like you mentioned, super intended, salty mad, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean, if you if you if you're willing to
Speaker 1: follow his program, he will get you back as quick
Speaker 1: quick as possible. Play talk about it all the time.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's crazy. It's crazy how he you know,
Speaker 1: you can talk to him and he won't tell you
Speaker 1: high sometimes but you know you know that that players
Speaker 1: getting taken care of and I think the thing with
Speaker 1: Clark is, man, I honest gonna say this, and it's
Speaker 1: probably gonna sound terrible. He plays with a lot of violence.
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of violence, and that to me,
Speaker 1: this defense is good and on its way going even
Speaker 1: going higher. I think this guy could help you in
Speaker 1: a lot of ways. You get him out there with
Speaker 1: a guy that likes to play with some violence. So
Speaker 1: there's the question. How soon should fans be expecting to
Speaker 1: maybe see him playing some defense. And obviously I don't
Speaker 1: think he's coming in and replacing anybody full time right now,
Speaker 1: but they could they this weekend start to see him, Yeah,
Speaker 1: eake in there a little bit, and maybe he's kind
Speaker 1: of replacing bar on some snaps. That's kind of seeing
Speaker 1: what happens. Rights, How does that play? Yeah? Seriously, Dak
Speaker 1: plays well, and they go and you're saying seven to
Speaker 1: ten whatever, and play some of your guys a little
Speaker 1: bit and and not just him some you know, let's
Speaker 1: let's see, let's see Kelvin Joseph at corner. Let's let's
Speaker 1: see some things like I'm sorry, did they come out? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: okay there Sometimes my face gives away things. Davis running
Speaker 1: the ball. Let's see FERNI no, No, it'd be nice
Speaker 1: to have a lead in one of these games where
Speaker 1: actually didn't have to sweat it. Well this last I mean,
Speaker 1: you saw Sounds of the Sun and Deak was like,
Speaker 1: you want some of this, like he stocked Cooper, like
Speaker 1: you want some of this like I've already had, I've
Speaker 1: already had some How good? That was funny, it was.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the thing about it is. But I'd
Speaker 1: like to see him get an opportunity. I think with
Speaker 1: coaches it's about trust. It's about trust. People ask me, well,
Speaker 1: why doesn't your bro Cox play? They don't trust him yet,
Speaker 1: they trust him on special teams. But you gotta do
Speaker 1: things to give these coaches reason to put you out here.
Speaker 1: I mean you've but you've seen players. They already kind
Speaker 1: of thrown guys out there, not necessarily, just kind of
Speaker 1: because they had too. I mean, we saw it with
Speaker 1: their own Bland. He got thrown out there with Jordan's injury.
Speaker 1: He did well. We saw it. Tam Williams, he got
Speaker 1: thrown out there, and he kind of has met expectations
Speaker 1: as well. So you see it with a bunch of
Speaker 1: different guys this year. That I've they done it at times,
Speaker 1: and it seems to be working out that way. And
Speaker 1: I'm gonna add to what you're saying about trust. I
Speaker 1: don't think it's necessarily like we're scared to death of
Speaker 1: you playing as it is, I trust the guys I've got.
Speaker 1: It's just like in anything, the genes that you're wearing, Like,
Speaker 1: I got these, I know they fit. I like them.
Speaker 1: I don't really want to they're probably really nice jeans,
Speaker 1: but I got these and they're good and I and
Speaker 1: I trust them. It's about knowing that I trust banda restaurant.
Speaker 1: It's not that jimill Cox could just mess the whole
Speaker 1: thing up or somebody like that. It's just that they
Speaker 1: coaches are stubborn and they like their guys and they
Speaker 1: don't want it to change it if they don't have to.
Speaker 1: That's why the trade deadlines so funny. For teams that
Speaker 1: are kind of rolling along. Well, everybody says, oh, you
Speaker 1: can make one move and put you over the top.
Speaker 1: You don't know how hard it is to get a
Speaker 1: coach to change out players. Yeah you just hey, coach,
Speaker 1: we could bring you this guy. Nah, man, my wh
Speaker 1: why are we talking about this? My guys are doing good,
Speaker 1: you know. And coaches are creatures of habit. They just
Speaker 1: you know, hey, how can I help you? Coach? How
Speaker 1: dan Quinn will say, you ask a dan Quinn and
Speaker 1: it'll be because I know people that worked with dan Quinn,
Speaker 1: and dan quinnill said, yeah, bring me a guy, bring
Speaker 1: me a guy. There's a lot of coaches out there like, man,
Speaker 1: why are you messing with our roster? Don't mess with
Speaker 1: our roster right now? And that's the hard thing as
Speaker 1: a personal guy, because you want to do everything in
Speaker 1: your power to bring on a Daman Clark, and coaches
Speaker 1: are like, man, we're doing just fine without him right now?
Speaker 1: Why are we doing this? Right? Yeah, it's about it's
Speaker 1: about what you know, what you have, even the warts,
Speaker 1: you know what that what those wards are, you can
Speaker 1: work around them. Right you bring in somebody else, you
Speaker 1: don't know what you're getting. You don't know what you
Speaker 1: getting from a personality standpoint, from a culture stand like
Speaker 1: all those other things. So yeah, I think that makes
Speaker 1: a huge difference absolutely. All right, So let's get into
Speaker 1: some fan questions. We got several here we're gonna run through.
Speaker 1: We got a question here from Todd he says. Everyone
Speaker 1: loves Dak, but why do his teammates seem to always
Speaker 1: receive the brunt of the blame when he isn't playing well?
Speaker 1: Now it's the receivers who aren't good enough. Maybe four
Speaker 1: needs to play better too. You guys agree with that
Speaker 1: statement or no? I think you have to be fair
Speaker 1: about it, because I know me personally, I've I've not
Speaker 1: just put it on one body. I've not you know,
Speaker 1: trust me, doing five hours or radio a day is
Speaker 1: a beating when it comes to Dak and quarterback talk,
Speaker 1: you know. I mean you do it around here, a
Speaker 1: quarterback talk throughout the history of the Cowboys. You know,
Speaker 1: even in the seventies when I was growing up, Morton Stabok,
Speaker 1: you know, it was they're rotating him, what you know.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what this job is. And so you know,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna sit there and just lay it all
Speaker 1: on the feet of Dak. You know. Kellen Moore, you know,
Speaker 1: be better, And bar says Kellen Moore, be better, you know,
Speaker 1: and Brian Broughts degrees with her. You know. Receivers get open,
Speaker 1: you know, find a way to finish plays, offensive line,
Speaker 1: give him some time, quarterback play just isn't all about
Speaker 1: the quarterback, you know, it's about everybody around the quarterback
Speaker 1: and the people that helped the quarterback do his job.
Speaker 1: And if you bought a new house, you bought a
Speaker 1: brand new house and all of a sudden you had
Speaker 1: the fence starts to fall down, what are you gonna do?
Speaker 1: Sell the house, get a new house. You're just gonna
Speaker 1: get a new fence. I mean, like you've got the house,
Speaker 1: you can't change it. You've already invested in there with Dak,
Speaker 1: so you've got to help him protect it like a
Speaker 1: fence would do with some pieces around it. You can't
Speaker 1: sit there. That's the reason why you're like, well, maybe
Speaker 1: the receivers need to be better, maybe the line needs
Speaker 1: to be better, because you're not doing anything at quarterback
Speaker 1: right now. That's what the guy is. You can complain
Speaker 1: all you want to about it. People do it on
Speaker 1: the radio, but they're not invested on the hook for him.
Speaker 1: So that's what it is. You're not changing it right now.
Speaker 1: So that's the quarterback. Give him some help. He's had
Speaker 1: more better help than he has right now, and he
Speaker 1: was better player when he had it. So you can't
Speaker 1: sit there and just change it all time. That's why
Speaker 1: those questions to me are not I mean, but you
Speaker 1: just did the question, but I don't. I just think
Speaker 1: that it's like complaining about it being hot in July.
Speaker 1: This is what it is, so deal with it or
Speaker 1: move from out of Texas or move or whatever. But
Speaker 1: like it's like at this point right now, we haven't
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say we haven't seen it up. We've seen
Speaker 1: years of him, but I think that specifically this year
Speaker 1: and not taking into account what happened in the first game,
Speaker 1: because that's that's different than how the offense, how the
Speaker 1: team looks Now, I think you got the running game
Speaker 1: working for you. Every single week it gets better and better.
Speaker 1: They get better at running the ball. Now, you got
Speaker 1: daged back last week. I thought he had a good comeback,
Speaker 1: like he had a good given the fact that he
Speaker 1: had not played games other than just one. He was
Speaker 1: out of the preseason. He hadn't been practicing for those
Speaker 1: five six weeks whatever it was. I think that we
Speaker 1: need to give him more time to see because it
Speaker 1: comes down to the receivers. And I saw it and
Speaker 1: I hear that we have to keep bringing up Amari Cooper.
Speaker 1: But I saw it. I was reading some comments of he.
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones was asked on the radio about him again
Speaker 1: if they're kind of they're missing him, and he's like, well,
Speaker 1: I forgot what did he say exactly? Hold on? Oh,
Speaker 1: here is do we want a factor? Do we want
Speaker 1: to factor in the fact we haven't had Dad but
Speaker 1: two games? I think we should. That would have mitigated
Speaker 1: some of your receiver production without questions. So I think
Speaker 1: you're not comparing apples to apples, which yes and no,
Speaker 1: because I'm kind of more on defensive, Like, I think
Speaker 1: they're definitely missing a guy like Amari, but this is
Speaker 1: what you got, So how do he get better with
Speaker 1: what you have? And we talked about the schemes, how
Speaker 1: do you position your receivers to be open and how
Speaker 1: you worked him open? Yeah, And I think it comes
Speaker 1: down to that because we've saw even last week, we
Speaker 1: saw Dak made some pretty good throws. Like it wasn't
Speaker 1: all of them, but we know he has it. He
Speaker 1: has the arm. We saw him in the red zone
Speaker 1: kind of take off running. He's using his legs. So
Speaker 1: now it's just how do you piece everything together? And
Speaker 1: I think, more so than Dak, the receivers need help
Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, all right, we're gonna take our final break.
Speaker 1: We'll come back and we'll get some more questions. We'll
Speaker 1: be right back. This is Dallas Cowboys dot Com Radio.

Speaker 1: only had one tours up there. I mean the rain
Speaker 1: isn't is slowing anybody down today? Well, if you guys
Speaker 1: ever want to be able to I'm talking folks out
Speaker 1: there listening, If you ever want to be able to
Speaker 1: get an autograph from Nick or Brian, take one of
Speaker 1: the tours. It's a good chance. If you get in
Speaker 1: the tour, I walk in the tour today, you might
Speaker 1: be able to just literally and actually I heard something
Speaker 1: the other day and this is typical Jerry. There was
Speaker 1: a tour going on, Jerry walks past the tour and
Speaker 1: people are kind of like, oh, that's true, and Jerry
Speaker 1: just stops and it's like, hey, I got a story
Speaker 1: for you guys, and he sat there and starts telling
Speaker 1: the story. That's the kind of stuff that happens that
Speaker 1: I think makes people want to do tours because you
Speaker 1: just never know what's gonna happen around in this building.
Speaker 1: And obviously Jerry knows how to how to play it up.
Speaker 1: He knows how to make sure you get your money's worth.
Speaker 1: If you run across Jerry, you're gonna get your money's
Speaker 1: worth on that tour. Man, I was sleeping the other
Speaker 1: day running to a couple and it was just then too,
Speaker 1: I guess doing the tour, and they listened to the show.
Speaker 1: They're like, oh yeah, I'd listened to the show and
Speaker 1: they mentioned we just got done talking to Jerry Jones.
Speaker 1: He was just walking by, which is I mean, doesn't
Speaker 1: happen all the time that he's walking around these hallways,
Speaker 1: But it's it's really awesome because he does take the
Speaker 1: time to say hi to anybody and everybody. So if
Speaker 1: you ever run up to him, make sure you say hi.
Speaker 1: Because he will definitely this place, you know, those old
Speaker 1: Sports Center or they still do them. Those Sports Inner
Speaker 1: commercials were in the office. It reminds me of that
Speaker 1: sometimes because you know, every now and again you'll just
Speaker 1: see Drew Pearson come by, Roger Stawback or Darren Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know Roger walk. He's walked past our office a
Speaker 1: few times, just like we're sitting there working and next thing,
Speaker 1: you know, the other day, I just like literally it
Speaker 1: was just looked up and it was just like a
Speaker 1: blur and it was rowdy on a scooter, seriously just
Speaker 1: coming by, and I was like, did that really happen?
Speaker 1: Like it does? And walk to the start one day
Speaker 1: and like the funniest thing you ever see ever is
Speaker 1: broadest feet up looking at tape just kind of see
Speaker 1: see how the fit is. He's coming off the edge.
Speaker 1: You get a little closer and you see sting. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the wrestler in full uniform with some one of them
Speaker 1: at just like pointing, like, okay, so what happens there?
Speaker 1: He was like, see because he blocks in the inside,
Speaker 1: he's gonna pull. It's why I didn't get a video.
Speaker 1: I'm so glad you remember that story, Dick, because I
Speaker 1: was sitting there and I didn't even know he was
Speaker 1: sitting there, and I'm sitting there watching and then literally
Speaker 1: I'm sitting there watching and I'm kind of like and
Speaker 1: he goes he goes r almost throwing the ball pretty
Speaker 1: well there and I and I turn around. I'm like,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, he's in full gear. He's kind of
Speaker 1: he's kind of looking at me, kind of watching the film,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, yeah, you know, and if you watch,
Speaker 1: what's going on, super nice. I mean, he was in
Speaker 1: that time. You guys, everybody, we did the thing when
Speaker 1: he was in town. But that was one of those
Speaker 1: moments where I because he goes man ro almost the
Speaker 1: one and I didn't even hear him, and I turned
Speaker 1: around and I'm like, oh, yeah, here, let me run
Speaker 1: this play back for you and show you, you know,
Speaker 1: And it was just kind of like, yeah, that's what
Speaker 1: happens every once in a while. You you're running to
Speaker 1: people real quick. Um. I went on the tour. I
Speaker 1: didn't do the tour. I stopped in. I kind of
Speaker 1: melted into a tour and they were explaining why the
Speaker 1: Steelers have only one logo on the side of their
Speaker 1: helmet and the guy asked me. The tour guy goes, Brian,
Speaker 1: do you know why? And I'm like, well, let me
Speaker 1: tell you here, and that's why I went into the
Speaker 1: full story why and then I was like, oh wow,
Speaker 1: they're like the tour guide was like, well, thank you, Brian,
Speaker 1: appreciate and then I'm all right, you guys have a
Speaker 1: good day. I kind of walked on my way. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Our office is really close to this one wing of
Speaker 1: the tour, you know, and you obviously you hear you
Speaker 1: hear him. You hear the script over and over, so
Speaker 1: it's like it's over and I can definitely give that
Speaker 1: part of it. Twenty and second and winning seasons. Five
Speaker 1: super Bowl wins, but seven Super Bowl MVPs. How how why?
Speaker 1: All right, let's get the flags. Favorite moment was when
Speaker 1: John Crease came up here, but no doubt when when
Speaker 1: Crease from Karate Kid Cobra Kai he came up. I
Speaker 1: remember that that was that came up. Was like like,
Speaker 1: oh my god. He gave me this picture and he
Speaker 1: autographed it and he goes, do you know what seeing
Speaker 1: this is from? And I'm kind of like, come on,
Speaker 1: and then I gave the line back to him with
Speaker 1: the same kind of you know voice whatever, and he
Speaker 1: was like, you're creepy there. There was a part in
Speaker 1: there and I was like, I know the line, you know,
Speaker 1: and I said it. I go, It'll be open season
Speaker 1: on him and you. He goes, you've seen this movie.
Speaker 1: You're a creepy what you like? Thanks? All right, let's
Speaker 1: jump again. Some questions. We got to get these guys
Speaker 1: ready for Cowboys versus Lions. Sean connyhamm sorry, yeah, sorry?
Speaker 1: Um so Sean Conningham asks with no rounds lack of
Speaker 1: practice this week, assuming he doesn't go, do you see
Speaker 1: Kellen and Mike using more twelve or even thirteen personnel
Speaker 1: groupings due to the unproven nature of the wide receiver
Speaker 1: group as as you look at the fourth fit and
Speaker 1: six wide receivers? Sure, I mean I could see more
Speaker 1: tight ends. Yeah there, I mean because that also helps
Speaker 1: you run the ball like you want to do. But man,
Speaker 1: it's more pressure on CD. Miss. This be a game
Speaker 1: that gets gallop going because I mean, obviously to get
Speaker 1: two targets last week, no catch, Yeah, just keep pounding
Speaker 1: on the table, turpid. Yeah, do you think this is
Speaker 1: a game and you want because she's not wrong, because
Speaker 1: I'm just asking you to hand it, break it to him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think to me with you know, to me, their
Speaker 1: secondary they're they're legitimate pass defense, you know, and so
Speaker 1: if they're gonna let you run the football by all means, I'll,
Speaker 1: you know, just just give me a game where you know,
Speaker 1: it's they're getting they're converting third downs and they're finding
Speaker 1: a way to win in the red zone, and you know,
Speaker 1: play good defense if that's what it takes. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm I think more twelve personnel and you're and you're
Speaker 1: right though, you gotta find a way to get you know,
Speaker 1: And I'm not just talking about throwing him a screen.
Speaker 1: Throw him screen, don't you know, just legitimately get him
Speaker 1: the ball down the fiality. Yes, Gallop, I get Gallop open.
Speaker 1: I put Turpin in the slot. Seriously, I put Gallop
Speaker 1: on the outside, and I let Turpin just fly right
Speaker 1: down the seam of the field. He's got to do
Speaker 1: it once to scare the safety, do it the second time,
Speaker 1: and just just fill him in the back and just
Speaker 1: come underneath for about twelve yards over the middle. It's
Speaker 1: going to be there. And if it's not there, then
Speaker 1: Turpin's hanging out with Rowdy down in the end zone
Speaker 1: on a deep ball. I mean like, like, you gotta
Speaker 1: use your speed to help the others. I'm not even
Speaker 1: asking to give Turpin the ball that much. Seriously, I
Speaker 1: just usething like, this is not a hard game. It's not. Well,
Speaker 1: the next we do make it hard will be the
Speaker 1: first get that. I'm just saying, you've got a speed element,
Speaker 1: use it so you can get the other guys open.
Speaker 1: That's the one thing he's got. I'd be afraid to
Speaker 1: throw him the ball on a deep ball. I'd be
Speaker 1: afraid to throw that to him. I don't know if
Speaker 1: he can catch it. I wouldn't be afraid. I'd give
Speaker 1: it a shot. I mean, you don't know until you
Speaker 1: do it right right, Yeah, do it? I mean I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I know that if he catches
Speaker 1: it once, then the defense really has a problem. Well,
Speaker 1: I will tell you this. What I know about Michael
Speaker 1: Gallup is you give him some balls deep, He's probably
Speaker 1: gonna make some of those catches. Yeah. So I'm just like,
Speaker 1: give that a shot, Like do something you know is
Speaker 1: proven that they just can't seem to get going right now,
Speaker 1: I had a story I was gonna tell you on
Speaker 1: the break. I forgot you can't say it on there,
Speaker 1: No I say anything. He's setting us up so that
Speaker 1: after the show's over, he's like he's gonna say, I
Speaker 1: gotta tell you something about a gallop. Sorry, okay, sorry fans,
Speaker 1: y'all won't know the radio Nick. I gotta tell y'all
Speaker 1: story after Brian leaves. Right, next question, you know what,
Speaker 1: back to Michael, I think, I mean, it can be
Speaker 1: worse than what it was last week. True zero. I mean,
Speaker 1: unless they have zero targets, it's even worse. Okay, yes,
Speaker 1: there's always a chance for it to be even worse.
Speaker 1: But if my point is, you know, I was very
Speaker 1: very looking forward to last week just seeing Dak with
Speaker 1: the combination of CD and Michael Gallup in there, and
Speaker 1: then I add Noah Brown as well, but it just
Speaker 1: it wasn't anything. So if that was the story imporn,
Speaker 1: my hope is that it can only get better as
Speaker 1: it because how do you not get the ball to
Speaker 1: a guy like Michael Gallup or even CD Lamb. I
Speaker 1: mean we've seen quack alright, alright, question from Ernie. Can
Speaker 1: you see Dallas calling this game differently. If Zeke is
Speaker 1: out calling it differently, I don't see it differently, not really. No,
Speaker 1: I mean, like you say, it's gonna be about because
Speaker 1: they've done a great job. They've got twenty seven carries
Speaker 1: out of both backs last week. You're gonna get twenty
Speaker 1: seven carries again this week? Maybe not maybe maybe in
Speaker 1: the way of especially you got two issues. If you're
Speaker 1: gonna play more thirteen personnel troll personnel. Maybe those guys
Speaker 1: are used to help block more, you know, more than
Speaker 1: you would if you had Zeke out there. Maybe you're
Speaker 1: gonna chip a little bit. But um, I don't, I
Speaker 1: don't you know, I don't think it'll be a night
Speaker 1: and day difference there. No, But I mean, if for
Speaker 1: all the folks that'd like to see Pollard get a
Speaker 1: good opportunity, here's here's your chance. I'm likely I'm gonna
Speaker 1: say this. I don't know how close we are to
Speaker 1: the picks here pretty soon here, but if if the
Speaker 1: Cowboys defense doesn't get a turnover in this game, they're
Speaker 1: gonna lose. That's what That's why I feel about this. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if they don't get a turn on think about the
Speaker 1: game they they was ten to six. They were up
Speaker 1: ten to six. It was twenty four to seven because
Speaker 1: of the turnovers that the defense got, short field, touchdown, touchdown,
Speaker 1: all that. But if you if they don't get a
Speaker 1: turnover in this game, that means the Bears are moving
Speaker 1: the ball, That means the Bears are running the ball.
Speaker 1: I would think and and and I don't think the
Speaker 1: offense is good, especially banged up offense. They got to
Speaker 1: get a turnover, get short fields, or they're not gonna win.
Speaker 1: I really believe that. And I think they will though,
Speaker 1: I mean, I think they will get turnover. Really agree
Speaker 1: with that. But yeah, that's I mean, this is a
Speaker 1: good chance because you talked about the quarterback, how he's
Speaker 1: he can drop down up. Yeah, yeah, that's your hope. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's not. And that's my point. That's I think. That's
Speaker 1: what I'm really saying is if you, if you don't
Speaker 1: force the Bears into what they normally do, if they
Speaker 1: play above themselves, that means they're because what are they
Speaker 1: doing three and out? I mean they run the ball
Speaker 1: three times and keep running and running, they're probably gonna
Speaker 1: score on you. And I don't think this offense is
Speaker 1: going to score enough to to not take advantage of it.
Speaker 1: So I think they will get turnovers, but if they don't,
Speaker 1: I think the Bears win. All right, let's go and
Speaker 1: guitar predictions in let's see what you guys think is
Speaker 1: gonna happen this weekend. Nick, you gave us what you
Speaker 1: think hast to happen for the Cowboys to lose. So
Speaker 1: I think I think. I think it's gonna have I
Speaker 1: think the Bears will turn the ball over a little
Speaker 1: bit and a couple of times, and I think the
Speaker 1: Cowboys will take advantage of it. I think they're a
Speaker 1: better team, and I do think that they're going to
Speaker 1: force Field into throwing and throwing some picks or fumbling
Speaker 1: the ball or whatever. I think Cowboys win twenty seven
Speaker 1: sixteen all right, okay, Um, I mean just like most weeks,
Speaker 1: with the exception of the Eagles, I think the defense
Speaker 1: is gonna do what they need to do. M I
Speaker 1: do think the Cowboys offense will score some touchdowns, um,
Speaker 1: similar to last week. They will be able to run
Speaker 1: the ball, and I think Dad will have a better
Speaker 1: game than what he did even last week. So Cowboys
Speaker 1: win at home. I would say thirty why not? Yeah,
Speaker 1: thirty points and seventeen or something like that. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think this is gonna be the quickest game in the
Speaker 1: history of Dallas Cowboys football game. Yeah, and like, yeah,
Speaker 1: we were going on a pregame like, oh wait, it's
Speaker 1: a three hour and thirty minute pregame postgame show. I'm like, well,
Speaker 1: what are we doing here? This is gonna be a
Speaker 1: quick game. Both teams are gonna try and run the ball.
Speaker 1: Tony Romo said it on the broadcast with the lines
Speaker 1: what he was talking about Buffalo and Kansas City. Both
Speaker 1: teams kind of keep things going, kind of keep moving,
Speaker 1: you know that that's with your offense. You're not gonna
Speaker 1: always score a lot of points, but the clock keeps moving,
Speaker 1: and I think it's going to be a low scoring game.
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be the Cowboys. I could
Speaker 1: see a twenty four to like thirteen game, But it's
Speaker 1: gonna move quick because both teams are gonna just try
Speaker 1: and run the ball, establish their identities and see if
Speaker 1: they can make the other one, you know, have to
Speaker 1: throw the football, you know, and if you can make
Speaker 1: the Bears throw the football, they're gonna lose the game
Speaker 1: for sure. But I think this is gonna be both
Speaker 1: teams trying to run the ball and established that that
Speaker 1: identity that they've had coming in. I think this is
Speaker 1: gonna be a blowout. I think the cow Falcons kind
Speaker 1: of blow no. And actually I don't think the Cowboys
Speaker 1: are gonna score a huge amount of points. I actually
Speaker 1: think they're gonna score twenty about twenty three, but I
Speaker 1: think they're gonna I don't think they I think they're
Speaker 1: gonna blink the Bears. I don't think the Bears score
Speaker 1: at all. I think the this defense, and that's one
Speaker 1: of the things about this defense. I think one of
Speaker 1: the reasons why teams have had success running against them
Speaker 1: is because they are going to get the quarterback. I
Speaker 1: think in a game like this, going to get the
Speaker 1: quarterback is about stopping the run, and they will be
Speaker 1: solely focused on not letting this team run the ball.
Speaker 1: And if they do that well, which I expect they will,
Speaker 1: then I think they'll pretty much shut them down, and
Speaker 1: I think they'll they'll blink them. I think it'll be
Speaker 1: a twenty three nothing win for the Cowboys at home,
Speaker 1: not even a field goals in the rain against Belichick
Speaker 1: on the road. That that that don't. I don't know
Speaker 1: if you've been watching New England this year, New England
Speaker 1: is a very very up and down team. I'm not
Speaker 1: I don't take from that. And I will say this,
Speaker 1: Dallas's defense far superior. Whatever belie down. But I'll tell
Speaker 1: you this, I don't look at this team a ton
Speaker 1: different than the team that they played last week, and
Speaker 1: they held that team to six points. I think, and
Speaker 1: my prediction is is I in the first quarter, someone's
Speaker 1: gonna be yelling at you, going how'd that go? How'd
Speaker 1: that shut out? I mean, maybe I think they'll kick
Speaker 1: a field goal like early on in the first drive,
Speaker 1: Like well, you stirred the week saying how your mind
Speaker 1: had kind of changed about the Bears a little bit
Speaker 1: after the Yes. I literally I thought before before I
Speaker 1: saw him play Monday night, I thought the Bears were
Speaker 1: the worst team in the NFL. I don't think they're
Speaker 1: the worst in them in the NFL anymore. I still
Speaker 1: don't think they're very good personally, and if you watched
Speaker 1: them like they are a tale of two different teams,
Speaker 1: like some weeks they can show up like last week
Speaker 1: and play pretty good. There are other weeks when I've
Speaker 1: watched there's a lot and like, what the heck was that?
Speaker 1: That's horrible football, like undisciplined football. Just it just it
Speaker 1: looked horrible. And I think that's probably what you're more
Speaker 1: in line to see this weekend because I think this
Speaker 1: defense can make them look like that. Okay, we will see.
Speaker 1: They have some you know, they have some decent wins too. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're actually I think both two of their winds have
Speaker 1: been in the pouring rain. Yeah, so I don't think
Speaker 1: that's going to happen this weekend. Definitely will happen at
Speaker 1: and T Stadium. I don't say definitely anything. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: say definitely. Can't get a live closed. That would be
Speaker 1: a problem. That would be a problem. That would be
Speaker 1: a problem. All Right, appreciate you guys, join us. We'll
Speaker 1: be back on Monday. We'll tell you what went right
Speaker 1: and wrong for the Cowboys. Still then for Nick Eatman,
