Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. Are you ready for
Speaker 1: a break? Yes? Are you ready for a break? Absolutely?
Speaker 1: Ready for a break? Yeah? And so much for that.
Speaker 1: It's time for The Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: with Nick Eatman, David Hellman, and bar Garcia and Derek Eagleton.
Speaker 1: It is Friday, September thirteenth, twenty nineteen, Season fifteen, episode
Speaker 1: number forty three. Welcome to the latest edition of The Break.
Speaker 1: We are live from s WBC Mortgage Studios at the
Speaker 1: Star and we are prepared to get you ready for
Speaker 1: the Cowboys versus Redskins this Sunday, um and it'll be
Speaker 1: a fun game. We're gonna tell you who's gonna win
Speaker 1: at some point during this game. We got predictions coming up.
Speaker 1: We're gonna tell you about inactis and I have a
Speaker 1: whole list of questions about this game that I will
Speaker 1: ask this panel of analysts and experts so that they
Speaker 1: can give you an idea of what they think is
Speaker 1: going to happen this Sunday when the Cowboys take on
Speaker 1: the Redskins. How's everybody feeling good? Awesome? Good? I'm willing
Speaker 1: it to be fall got my flannel Friday going You
Speaker 1: figured about if I pull out the flannel, put on
Speaker 1: the fine, everything else will just fall into place. It
Speaker 1: doesn't matter if it's ninety five degrees. You know what
Speaker 1: I noticed? I did notice that two weeks from now
Speaker 1: it's gonna start coming down a little bit. So I
Speaker 1: cannot wait because because it's exciting, them loves to stop
Speaker 1: it stopping. All right, let's let's jump in. I want
Speaker 1: to talk first about injuries. There was only one change
Speaker 1: yesterday in participation in practice. That was with probably the
Speaker 1: one that was the most important might at least in
Speaker 1: my opinion, which is Tyrone Crawford. He had misspractice earlier
Speaker 1: in the week, he was limited yesterday with the hibitry
Speaker 1: hip injury. What are you guys hearing about him? He
Speaker 1: was there today, upgraded classic vet stuff. Upgrade to limited
Speaker 1: on Thursday? There today, good sign. How about Tavon Tavan
Speaker 1: still missed yesterday? Was he back today? No? No, So
Speaker 1: the likelihood here is he's not gonna play okay, And
Speaker 1: but judging from what he was doing during practice, it
Speaker 1: sure looks like Cedric Wilson's coming up, returning punts, working
Speaker 1: on special teams, you know, people get super excited, like
Speaker 1: I doubt if he does come up, he's not going
Speaker 1: to have this huge role. But insurance policy possible punt returner,
Speaker 1: YadA YadA, which means somebody's getting cut, right, Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: that's the part that I heard that this morning, that
Speaker 1: there was a likelihood that that might happen. My first
Speaker 1: thought was that that just complicated things even more because
Speaker 1: I was already wondering how they going to get the inactives.
Speaker 1: But now you're talking about bringing somebody up, which means
Speaker 1: somebody gets cut, and then having to put seven seven guys.
Speaker 1: Then will you bring up Quinn when he comes about?
Speaker 1: That's another move? Yeah, I think that's the part of it.
Speaker 1: You just have to make this move three days earlier
Speaker 1: than you want to. So you think the person is
Speaker 1: going to get cut. Is the person that was going
Speaker 1: to get cut anyway? Yes, And and Eleven goes down,
Speaker 1: Wilson goes down, and Quinn goes in. Any thoughts about
Speaker 1: I was waiting that was gonna be do? I mean
Speaker 1: the one that makes most sense is um Taco probably
Speaker 1: is it? Yeah? Because he's not playing and he's not
Speaker 1: that he's not playing, and he's not very good. And
Speaker 1: but you have other guys like Adam Redman, like Brandon
Speaker 1: Knight that aren't playing either. I mean, that's Brandon Knight's
Speaker 1: here for a reason, like they that they want to
Speaker 1: keep him. I guess he's versatile, he's young. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't think they would do all that and then
Speaker 1: cut him. What don't you want to trade or try
Speaker 1: to get something for a taco rather than just cut him.
Speaker 1: They maybe they have, they've tried wants him. There's somebody
Speaker 1: that must want him. Maybe not for trade though, yeah,
Speaker 1: what's the price. The problem, you know, the problem with
Speaker 1: guys like that is like we sit here, we're like, oh,
Speaker 1: he's gonna get cut, and teams know that, Like they
Speaker 1: they're like, why would we give you something for a
Speaker 1: guy you're gonna have to get rid of eventually anyway.
Speaker 1: That's like, it's funny to me, and we don't I
Speaker 1: don't know if y'all want to talk about it, like
Speaker 1: the Minka Fitzpatrick's stuff any times I had that. But
Speaker 1: but you know, people dog taco for months and months
Speaker 1: and months and then when an opportunity rises, they're like,
Speaker 1: what about taco? We can trade him. We can trade
Speaker 1: him for like all of a sudden, he's valuable because
Speaker 1: you want something like That's not how it works. And
Speaker 1: I don't know if teams would want his contract rather
Speaker 1: you just cut him because they don't have want this
Speaker 1: guaranteed contract, right, you know, he's first round money, and
Speaker 1: they'd rather just we'll pay him what we think he's worth, Yeah,
Speaker 1: which is probably significantly less than first round money. I bet,
Speaker 1: I bet you they've had a few conversations about Taco
Speaker 1: and then just nothing materialized. You know, Adam Redman makes
Speaker 1: more sense, I guess. I mean, but if it's not
Speaker 1: let's just say, if it's not Taco, and I don't
Speaker 1: I haven't heard anything that suggests that it will be, UM,
Speaker 1: then I would Redmond, Chris Covington, and Brandon Knight are
Speaker 1: like the three most logical options. I don't think you
Speaker 1: would want to cut Covington because he just brought him
Speaker 1: up for special team. Do you need him for the
Speaker 1: special teams? But I mean just looking around trying to
Speaker 1: find somebody that makes sense. He's a guy. I mean,
Speaker 1: how many backup guards at centers do you need? Yeah? Exactly?
Speaker 1: That was Yeah, that was the point. I mean Frederick
Speaker 1: and Zach Martin and Connor Williams, you know, first round,
Speaker 1: early second round picks, Pro Bowl type guys. And then
Speaker 1: how many backups do you need there? Joe Looney, Sue Philo,
Speaker 1: Adam Redmond, Brandon Knight. Could you cut Davier Sue of
Speaker 1: Philo because he's at this point he's got to be
Speaker 1: a vested veteran, right, so you could cut him and
Speaker 1: bring him back and not have to worry about losing
Speaker 1: him to waivers, which you would which you probably wanted
Speaker 1: to be active this week, right, Yeah, he was active
Speaker 1: last week. I'm saying, I'm just spitballing. I'm just yeah,
Speaker 1: there aren't very many names that make a ton of sense, right, So,
Speaker 1: I mean, does Cavon factor into this? Well, you do
Speaker 1: have the safeties are coming back, Darian Thompson's back, hold
Speaker 1: that one for just a little bit more once Wilson
Speaker 1: gets back. Yeah, so you'd want to feel comfortable with
Speaker 1: all four that those two are back, and then you
Speaker 1: would maybe make that decisions possible. Yeah, I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't know if they want to carry five safeties, right.
Speaker 1: All right, let's let's talk about inactives, and I'm gonna
Speaker 1: do this. Obviously, we don't know who this cut might
Speaker 1: be that would affect maybe this list, because you would
Speaker 1: assume the person that's gonna be cut, if they're gonna
Speaker 1: make the move to bring someone up, would be someone
Speaker 1: that was likely going to be on the inactives list.
Speaker 1: So with that being said, let's try to get to seven.
Speaker 1: I think Tavon, Louke Gifford we pretty much know right,
Speaker 1: Adam Redman and Brandon and I were both inactive last week,
Speaker 1: so assuming they're still on the team, they would be
Speaker 1: two more. And so as I look at I think
Speaker 1: you have basically three spots for five people. Uh, Taco,
Speaker 1: Joe Jackson, Tristan Hill, Darian Thompson, Donovan Wilson. Guys agree
Speaker 1: with that. I think Donovan Wilson's definitely down there. Okay,
Speaker 1: you take him that, That makes five, So you need
Speaker 1: three more seven, I'm sorry, two more out of that
Speaker 1: list of four. Technically you really need to get to
Speaker 1: eight because one of these guys got to get cut, right,
Speaker 1: So you think they keep Tristan Hill inactive. I would
Speaker 1: imagine him. I would imagine that staytive, I would think, so,
Speaker 1: I just didn't see him being ready yet, although he
Speaker 1: still he needs that because that's the only way you
Speaker 1: grow in this game is being out there. But I
Speaker 1: don't know. With them struggling last week, I mean, do
Speaker 1: you want to add somebody that's not add experience? Do
Speaker 1: you want to take that kind of risk? Or I
Speaker 1: need keep more more guys this week? I think I
Speaker 1: would probably sit Joe Jackson, and yeah, i'd probably put
Speaker 1: Taco back up, so you make Taco one of them,
Speaker 1: But I put Joe Jackson down, I would I don't
Speaker 1: have a particularly strong feeling about it. I mean Joe
Speaker 1: Jackson didn't do a lot, which I mean you kind
Speaker 1: of figured he wouldn't. I don't you know, if they
Speaker 1: want to give Taco or Tristan or both of them
Speaker 1: a shot and put two other guys down, that's fine.
Speaker 1: I mean somebody brought that up the other day. I
Speaker 1: don't think he'll be inactive. But like Dorance Armstrong, like
Speaker 1: had he I mean he didn't blow anybody away in
Speaker 1: the opener, and didn't I mean, so honestly, I don't
Speaker 1: know that you say you could. A whole lot of
Speaker 1: guys didn't really blow anybody away. I mean they played
Speaker 1: the game that it's a little bit it's a little
Speaker 1: bit weird that that we that everybody's kind of has
Speaker 1: this opinion that the Divans didn't play well. I mean,
Speaker 1: they did hold them to ten points in that last touchdown.
Speaker 1: I don't really count like that. So I mean, I
Speaker 1: think they played fine, but nobody was making outstanding plays,
Speaker 1: Like there weren't a lot of outstanding plays defensively in
Speaker 1: that game. So I don't know if I don't know
Speaker 1: if it's a little bit unfair to say able Toes
Speaker 1: didn't really do much because there are a whole bunch
Speaker 1: of guys they really didn't do fair things, you know.
Speaker 1: But I mean there's no reason to sit him. I mean,
Speaker 1: there's no reason not to sit him. Then, I mean
Speaker 1: he can definitely sit. I guess that's really more. My
Speaker 1: point is like other than other than like malague, other
Speaker 1: than the obvious, like starting for you could mix and
Speaker 1: match that thing however you want. Like if you decide
Speaker 1: to put Taco up and put Armstrong down, I don't
Speaker 1: think that's crazy. If you decide to sit Taco and
Speaker 1: Hill again, I don't think that's crazy either. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's just he is playing. He hasn't tweeted anything wrong today? Yeah?
Speaker 1: How about this game? He I don't know what he tweeted.
Speaker 1: Was he tweeted something to the effect of the waiting
Speaker 1: game or sitting here waiting? Is that kind of thing?
Speaker 1: He hasn't tweeted us he did last week super probably
Speaker 1: either this evening or tomorrow, right, Yeah, and so keep
Speaker 1: your eyes open. I think timeline, I think there's another sit.
Speaker 1: How many safeties did they have active last week? Just three?
Speaker 1: So I mean technically they could do that again unless
Speaker 1: they think Thompson's ready to sit two safeties. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: Heath was banged up with I don't know, maybe you
Speaker 1: don't do that. Thompson's abilities on special teams. If he's
Speaker 1: ready to go, that could be what helps you cut
Speaker 1: Covington to get Cedric Wilson on the roster if if
Speaker 1: you want to ye, so too bad for Covington he
Speaker 1: moves up. But he's gonna get paid either way, because
Speaker 1: if you're on the roster on Tuesday, then you get
Speaker 1: a game check. But I think just by watching practice
Speaker 1: that we've seen, I think Cavon and Darry and Thompson
Speaker 1: are gonna be up. Yeah, so do I sorry, We'll
Speaker 1: see I mean, this is a tough one. That's not
Speaker 1: an easy one to do. I don't think we came
Speaker 1: up with answers. We really did not know. I mean,
Speaker 1: we have five we know, Tavon Luke, Adam Redman, Brandon Knight,
Speaker 1: and Donovan Wilson. We think are blocks there, right, assuming
Speaker 1: one of them doesn't get cut and then and then
Speaker 1: you need two more and it would be two more
Speaker 1: that probably are I would guests throw into defensive linemen. Now,
Speaker 1: so you take your choice between Taco Joe Jackson in
Speaker 1: Tristan Hill, right, Sorry, we can't be more exact than that.
Speaker 1: I bet Tristan Hill is up this week, you do, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's gonna say, kind I kind of expect the opposite.
Speaker 1: I kind of expect him to be the one that
Speaker 1: would be down with those other guys up because I
Speaker 1: think they look at the tackle positions, say we got
Speaker 1: ends that can play tackle, and they do in Nickel's situations.
Speaker 1: So I think they look at it as we got
Speaker 1: three tackles for our base, and then we got other
Speaker 1: guys at play tackle in those other situations. So I
Speaker 1: don't know, I just have a feeling he's going to
Speaker 1: be active this don't know anything. Maybe all right, let's
Speaker 1: take our first break. When we come back, I have
Speaker 1: some questions for you guys. We're gonna go through these
Speaker 1: questions and they will give our listeners an opportunity to
Speaker 1: know what you guys think about. What will happen this

Speaker 1: second second of the Break, Life and SWBC Mortgage Studios
Speaker 1: at the Star. I got some questions for you guys.
Speaker 1: We're going to roll through these questions. They are going
Speaker 1: to be about the Cowboys versus Redskins and give our
Speaker 1: listeners and not between. You know what you think will
Speaker 1: happen this Sunday. Question Number one Redskins player that will
Speaker 1: most likely cause problems for the Dallas defense is more
Speaker 1: likely to cause problems for the Dallas defense. I'll give
Speaker 1: you a couple of names. Feel free to fill in
Speaker 1: whatever name you'd like, if that if that name is
Speaker 1: not listed, Chris Thompson, Adrian Peterson, Vernon Davis, Terry Terry McLaren,
Speaker 1: or Trey Quinn. Nick I said it yesterday. I think
Speaker 1: Thompson is the one that that probably will cause more issues.
Speaker 1: So I'm one for one in this game. I said
Speaker 1: it was Ingram last week. He caused a little He
Speaker 1: can't cause problems, but he caught a lot of pass yea,
Speaker 1: yeah he did. He's problems for fantasy owners on the
Speaker 1: other teams. But he did a nice jole. But he
Speaker 1: didn't really hurt him on bad. But Thompson's a guy
Speaker 1: that could do that short stuff. You could make it
Speaker 1: some you know, bigger plays, big games. He'd be my guy.
Speaker 1: Amber Um, I would go with Peterson, And I'm just
Speaker 1: going with that because since I do some breaking down
Speaker 1: plays and I was looking at some plays from him
Speaker 1: going against the Cowboys. The offensive line is able to
Speaker 1: stop the D line, the Cowboys D line. I mean
Speaker 1: it took. There was one play where it was perfect.
Speaker 1: They created this hole for him to go right in it,
Speaker 1: and then the Marcus Lawrence was all the way to
Speaker 1: the I always get confused when you look at on
Speaker 1: the right and he just took off. It took for him,
Speaker 1: like not even the linebackers were able to stop him.
Speaker 1: So based on that, I would if they're able to
Speaker 1: do that again and just keep kind of opening those
Speaker 1: kind of holes for him. He's able to run and
Speaker 1: run good and it will get to you. I think
Speaker 1: that the Cowboys should be careful with him and make
Speaker 1: sure that the linebackers are being more proactive there on
Speaker 1: the field to get to him. Dave, I'll stick with Quinn.
Speaker 1: I said that on Wednesday, and it sounds like Byron
Speaker 1: Jones is going to start this game, which so I
Speaker 1: think Anthony Brown will draw him again. He did a
Speaker 1: good job last year. But just his skill set, you know,
Speaker 1: he's not he's not gonna go down downfield on you,
Speaker 1: but he's you know that short area quickness, create separation
Speaker 1: and pick up third and short, and that's just demoralizing.
Speaker 1: That's so I'm watching that. Okay, the Redskins player who
Speaker 1: is more likely to cause problems for the Dallas offense
Speaker 1: is here's some names, Ryan Kerrigan, Deron Payne, Montes Sweat,
Speaker 1: Quentin Dunbar, Landon Collins, Dominic Rodgers, Cromarty, Josh Norman, all
Speaker 1: players that are frontline players for them, players that are
Speaker 1: difference makers for them. Which one do you think will
Speaker 1: cause more problems for the Cowboys? Will start with you, Dave, Um,
Speaker 1: can I cheat? I'm gonna cheat one. I'm gonna say
Speaker 1: Kerrigan because that's Elsie's guy. That's and and that's a
Speaker 1: battle every year, he's relentless like he If Lyle Collins
Speaker 1: doesn't play well, he has the potential to wreck the game.
Speaker 1: But I'm really fascinated to see how pain does because
Speaker 1: that'll be a great barometer for where Travis Frederick is.
Speaker 1: Like if it was just Connor Williams dealing with that
Speaker 1: on his own, that would be troublesome, But Frederick is
Speaker 1: there to help and hopefully he plays well. If they
Speaker 1: neutralize him, then that is seems like a pretty good
Speaker 1: sign about where Frederick is in his recovery. But I
Speaker 1: think if, like I said, if LC doesn't play well,
Speaker 1: Karrigan could screw this up pretty bad. I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: with carryan to Ryan Kerrigan. I've seen him, I've seen
Speaker 1: what he can do. I honestly didn't realize that Lyle
Speaker 1: Collins had made that comment about him, you know when
Speaker 1: you mentioned yesterday that he said that he's probably one
Speaker 1: of his toughest guys to go up again. So that
Speaker 1: doesn't make me feel better about this matchup. But hopefully
Speaker 1: Lyle has been able to gain some more strength during
Speaker 1: the offseason and be able to hold him down better
Speaker 1: than what he's done in the past. Um, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go with Karagan also because I think that's what Jason
Speaker 1: Garrett would do. You know, if if you watch Friday's practice,
Speaker 1: it's become it's not just Friday. Every day. Jason does
Speaker 1: his little thing at the end of the stretch where
Speaker 1: he'll pull one guy up there, and it's becoming like
Speaker 1: a big deal, even though it's not really that goes
Speaker 1: up there, and he does like the the leads the
Speaker 1: charge for their you know, final five jumping jacks or whatever,
Speaker 1: but the way, you know, he introduces it like it's
Speaker 1: a big deal. He made sure that Lyle Collins was
Speaker 1: his guy today, and I think that there's more to
Speaker 1: it than than just saying, oh, he's the one I picked,
Speaker 1: here's your challenge. He knows that this is a challenging
Speaker 1: week for him. Up the game, he tries to. I
Speaker 1: don't know if he can pump lyle up. He seems
Speaker 1: pretty even kill either way. But yeah, I think so.
Speaker 1: I think the karagainst the one then, like Dave said,
Speaker 1: could wreck the game more than any anybody. All Right,
Speaker 1: next question, where will the Cowboys find more success? The
Speaker 1: run game or the past game? Last week, I think
Speaker 1: to everyone's surprised they aired it out and they found
Speaker 1: a lot of success there running the balls. What they
Speaker 1: do though this week, where do you think the bread
Speaker 1: and butter will be? We'll start with you, Amber. I
Speaker 1: think we're gonna start seeing Zeke more and he's gonna
Speaker 1: have a better game. He's gonna I mean, not that
Speaker 1: he had a horrible game last time, but you know,
Speaker 1: getting closer to Zeke being Zeke. I don't want to
Speaker 1: get too excited about the passing game. It was so
Speaker 1: great last game and he's still wonderful, so I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'll probably be a little disappointed this time around. Although
Speaker 1: these they have all these different weapons and Kellen Moore
Speaker 1: keeps saying that he has more things in his pockets.
Speaker 1: So but I think they'll probably end up relying more
Speaker 1: on the running game, all right, Nick, I think that
Speaker 1: it will be the passing game, but still it's because
Speaker 1: of the running game. I mean, the running game has
Speaker 1: has been proven that it's good, and Zeke is like
Speaker 1: one of the best in the league, or is the
Speaker 1: best in the league. So I just feel like it's
Speaker 1: still gonna be the passing game. Of a product of that,
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to do what they can to stop
Speaker 1: the run, and I think because of that, those guys
Speaker 1: will still get open. Is getting in their pressuring Dak.
Speaker 1: You know, I think it. Well, we'll see. I mean,
Speaker 1: I think that you got to get the ball out quick.
Speaker 1: I think they have good, better route runners than they've
Speaker 1: had before. I think the passing game will just benefit
Speaker 1: off of that. And I don't think one game will
Speaker 1: change what defenses due to say, well we got to
Speaker 1: stop that. It'll be interesting to see. I mean, it'll
Speaker 1: be close. I still think the passing game will have
Speaker 1: a strong day. If I mean, if Karagan doesn't eat Dak,
Speaker 1: then I think the passing game is gonna look really good.
Speaker 1: I don't I don't like these said, I don't like
Speaker 1: these cornerbacks. And the fun thing not trying to throw
Speaker 1: shade at any previous Cowboys receivers, but like the old
Speaker 1: Josh Norman versus Dez, like is he gonna travel with Dez?
Speaker 1: Who cares? It doesn't matter. They're all gonna line up
Speaker 1: everywhere like Cooper. It feels kind of good. It feel
Speaker 1: it feels amazing. Cooper's gonna line up outside and in
Speaker 1: the slot on both sides. Gallop's gonna move around. It
Speaker 1: doesn't matter, and they are all gonna have favorable matchups
Speaker 1: because these Washington cornerbacks aren't that special. In my opinion,
Speaker 1: That's actually the thing I love about this receiving corps
Speaker 1: right now is every week the defenses has a defense.
Speaker 1: Even if they wanted to travel a guy, they got
Speaker 1: to make a decision who do we want to travel
Speaker 1: with because they may take the approach of hey, we're
Speaker 1: gonna take Gallop because of this skill set, because this
Speaker 1: is one thing he does really well. We're gonna put
Speaker 1: our best receive, our best cornerback on him and then
Speaker 1: try to double Amari because we feel like that's a
Speaker 1: better way to do it. It will be interesting to
Speaker 1: see as the season goes on how defense has decide
Speaker 1: to cover these guys because it's not a clear cut
Speaker 1: number one and then everybody else. These guys, in my opinion,
Speaker 1: are playing at a level to where all of them
Speaker 1: can beat you at any given moment. And that's the
Speaker 1: part that makes it tough for defenses. I would quibble
Speaker 1: and say, I mean there is a clear cut number one,
Speaker 1: it's I said that the wrong way. Yes, because of
Speaker 1: who he is, a stature and his money. My point
Speaker 1: is though, I think either one of those other guys
Speaker 1: on a given week could have a huge week and
Speaker 1: kill you. As we saw last week's gallop. We're saying
Speaker 1: the same thing, but I think Mari is a lot
Speaker 1: more talented than the other two. Right now, get all that, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm just talking about the production on the field. Any
Speaker 1: one of those guys in a given week can be
Speaker 1: the leading guy, and so as a defense, you have
Speaker 1: to think about it. Okay, we might want to take
Speaker 1: Cooper away, but this other guy might kill us, right
Speaker 1: if and that's the part that makes it interesting. If
Speaker 1: the Cowboys can keep Dak clean, then I just think
Speaker 1: that is a very favorable situation for them, all right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: next question. Both teams only earned one sack in Week one.
Speaker 1: This week, the Cowboys will get here your three options
Speaker 1: zero sacks, one sack, or two or more sacks. Let's
Speaker 1: start with you, Dave. Oh. There's a lot of variants
Speaker 1: in those choices. Like I was hoping you were going
Speaker 1: to say three or more and I would take two. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I didn't do that on purpose. I'll say one. You'll
Speaker 1: say one that. Yeah, I don't know why, because they'll
Speaker 1: scheme up ways to get the ball out fast and
Speaker 1: lean on Adrian Peterson, and there just won't be that
Speaker 1: many opportunities. If I had to guess, all right, Nick,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say two or more, I would have probably
Speaker 1: said three or more. If you had that option. Oh,
Speaker 1: you're all in them that they'll get some. They'll get
Speaker 1: some today or Sunday. A lot of confidence right there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just I don't have a lot of confidence in
Speaker 1: case Keenum and especially his his mobility. I think that
Speaker 1: they can get to him. And they have a good
Speaker 1: offensive line, No don't they they? I mean I think
Speaker 1: it's okay, right, I don't didn't play that well. I
Speaker 1: don't think it's that great. I mean, I think the
Speaker 1: defensive line will play better. I think we'll see more sacks,
Speaker 1: all right, and more would I mean, I want to
Speaker 1: say right in the middle, I think they don't go
Speaker 1: blank completely blank, but they'll get it. They'll get at
Speaker 1: least something. Will they dominate to the point where I'm
Speaker 1: saying three or more? I don't think so that's yeah,
Speaker 1: Like it's it's tough to find the balance because I
Speaker 1: do like they'll get a sack or two, but I
Speaker 1: don't think it's gonna you know they're not gonna have
Speaker 1: like seven or something crazy like that. All right, next question,
Speaker 1: the Cowboys gave up one hundred and twenty rushing yards
Speaker 1: to say Quon Barkley this week, age and Peterson will
Speaker 1: get here. Your three options less than fifty fifty two
Speaker 1: one hundred or more than one hundred yards? Amber give
Speaker 1: me the options again, less than fifty fifty two one
Speaker 1: hundred or greater than a hundred. I would say up
Speaker 1: to one hundred fifty two hundred. Yeah, around one hundred.
Speaker 1: I think that. I mean, that's a good day. It's
Speaker 1: a really good day. Yeah, I mean if I picked him,
Speaker 1: ask my guy that I'm gonna be careful in watching
Speaker 1: during the game. I think. I don't think the Cowboys
Speaker 1: are going to be able to just completely take away
Speaker 1: their running game. Yep, I don't. I don't love their quarterbacks,
Speaker 1: so I think that they'll end up relying more on
Speaker 1: his their running back. So I would say around a hundred. Tay.
Speaker 1: I'm envisioning like a very just healthy NFL type of day,
Speaker 1: like twenty two carries for like eighty five yards or
Speaker 1: something like that, like good, not crazy, Yeah, something like that.
Speaker 1: Maybe a touchdown, yeah, I'd say less than fifty, like
Speaker 1: forty six. Okay, you're going complete opposite Thompson and those guys.
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna have to get the ball out
Speaker 1: and do a little bit more things. I don't think
Speaker 1: just him running. He's not going to be the guy
Speaker 1: that breaks it like Barkley. I don't think. I know
Speaker 1: he did a ninety one yard or last year, but
Speaker 1: I mean we could have got sixty on that. I
Speaker 1: mean it was just wide open. I don't think he'll
Speaker 1: be doing that. I don't think he'll have a big game.
Speaker 1: I know he's pissed, so that might be ain't happy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we'll see, but I'm like, yeah, I don't see him
Speaker 1: ripping off sixty yard runs. But I think he'll just consistently.
Speaker 1: We've seen how those short ones. Depends what kind of
Speaker 1: game it is. If it is one of those type
Speaker 1: of games that you know that could happen. But I
Speaker 1: think the Cowboys will be in control. All right. Here's
Speaker 1: our final question. If Dallas loses this week, it will
Speaker 1: be because blank Dave. They can't protect Daku, I mean,
Speaker 1: because that's really I don't see this offense like stalling
Speaker 1: out too much. If they can throw the ball well.
Speaker 1: I mean, the Redskins are gonna try to stop the run,
Speaker 1: and they are equipped to do so even without Jonathan Allen.
Speaker 1: They've got they've got talent in the front seven, they've
Speaker 1: got solid linebackers, Landon Collins as an extra linebacker more
Speaker 1: often than not, like they can do it. So they
Speaker 1: need to be able to throw. And I think the
Speaker 1: only way they won't be able to throw is if
Speaker 1: Ryan Kerrigan's just in his face all the time. So
Speaker 1: that's I mean, that's really the thing that gives me
Speaker 1: the most pause. Amber I agree with Dave. I mean,
Speaker 1: everything starts with the O line, and I think, I mean,
Speaker 1: right now, we've seen Dak be able to make those throws.
Speaker 1: We've seen him do all kinds of things, So I
Speaker 1: don't think that's the question mark around him anymore, at
Speaker 1: least not for me. So I think the only way
Speaker 1: they take them out is because he's being pressure all
Speaker 1: throughout the game. I just think it's gonna be turnovers
Speaker 1: on offense that because the Cowboys have the ability to drive.
Speaker 1: I don't think the Redskins are going to be a
Speaker 1: great team that could just take it eighty ninety yards
Speaker 1: on a consistent basis, So if you give them a
Speaker 1: short field, that'll change things. I think if the Cowboys
Speaker 1: just don't make those mistakes and turn the ball over
Speaker 1: and give them opportunities to score. If it's just a
Speaker 1: clean game going back and forth, I'd like Dallas's chances
Speaker 1: to move the ball more consistently. But you start turning
Speaker 1: it over, then now you're not scoring on your end
Speaker 1: and they're getting easier chances on there. So turnovers I
Speaker 1: think will be the key for them. Stay away from that.
Speaker 1: All right. We'll take our final break right here. When
Speaker 1: we come back, we're gonna get some questions. Give us
Speaker 1: a call eight eight eight eight five five two two

Speaker 1: Welcome Back, final segment of the Break Life from s
Speaker 1: WBC Mortgage Studios at the Star. We're gonna take some calls.
Speaker 1: Eight eight eight eight five five two two nine seven
Speaker 1: is a number before we do, though, I wanted to
Speaker 1: talk a little bit about story that came out this
Speaker 1: morning We've been getting a lot I know I've been
Speaker 1: getting several tweets from people of regarding this subject. But
Speaker 1: Minka Fitzpatrick safety for the Dolphins. He and his representatives
Speaker 1: have been given, supposedly by the Miami Dolphins, the right
Speaker 1: to go out and look for a trade. Sounds like
Speaker 1: a lot of guys IM wanting to be out of
Speaker 1: my aunt Miami. It's a it's a tough it seems
Speaker 1: like a tough situation down there. But all that being said,
Speaker 1: obviously a lot of fans are asking the question with
Speaker 1: the Cowboys want to want to entertain this, Um Davos,
Speaker 1: First go back, you were doing the draft show last year.
Speaker 1: Talk to me about what you guys thought of Minka
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick coming out of college and entering the NFL. Complete player,
Speaker 1: I mean, Swiss Army nine. If he played corner in college,
Speaker 1: he's playing safety. Now you can find you know, the
Speaker 1: pffs of the world that break that stuff down, say
Speaker 1: he did his best work at slot corner. I mean,
Speaker 1: he can play every position in the defensive backfield. Came
Speaker 1: from Alabama. I know they don't have like the best
Speaker 1: track record, but they've put some really, really good players
Speaker 1: in the NFL, Like if you were stud there, obviously
Speaker 1: you're gonna be stud anywhere. I looked up as and
Speaker 1: I haven't watched a ton of Minca Fitzpatrick since he
Speaker 1: got to the NFL because he plays for the Dolphins.
Speaker 1: So there's only one week. Well no, well, no, he's
Speaker 1: not a rookie. Okay, he was the second second year.
Speaker 1: He had eighty tackles, two interceptions, nine pass breakups as
Speaker 1: a rookie, So that's not horror playing on a Miami team.
Speaker 1: Like he had a pretty good rookie year. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: all indications are that the arrow is going up. So
Speaker 1: my question is where would he fit on this team? Nick?
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a guy to play corner in college.
Speaker 1: You're making the point in the break that you know,
Speaker 1: I'll let you make the point. But what does he
Speaker 1: fit on this team? If the Cowboys were to go
Speaker 1: out and how to get him, well, he would fit
Speaker 1: in the in the sense of if you were going
Speaker 1: to go into the next year trying to trying to
Speaker 1: find a safety. I mean, if you were, they almost
Speaker 1: drafted one this year, they almost you know, traded for
Speaker 1: one for the last year and a half with earld
Speaker 1: Thomas I mean, so if that was a priority that
Speaker 1: they were going to go into next year, then he
Speaker 1: fits at the safety position next to Xavier Woods. And
Speaker 1: and Heath is an unrestricted free agent. So I mean,
Speaker 1: I think you just have to to jump up those
Speaker 1: conversations and say, we just like, if Amara Cooper is
Speaker 1: going to be a receiver that we have to draft
Speaker 1: next year, why don't we just get trade for him
Speaker 1: this year? So I don't know what you give up, though,
Speaker 1: I don't think you give up a first round pick. See,
Speaker 1: but that's what it would probably have to take. I
Speaker 1: have a couple of thoughts about this. I would give
Speaker 1: up a first round pick really, yes, absolutely, And it's
Speaker 1: the same It is the same logic as the Amari
Speaker 1: Cooper deal that I mean, this guy is gonna more
Speaker 1: all right. First of all, where do we think the
Speaker 1: Cowboys are picking next year? Assuming knock on Wood, nobody
Speaker 1: important goes down for the year on Sunday and the
Speaker 1: whole season changes, this team's picking like seventeenth at the
Speaker 1: absolute worst, right, I mean, we probably agree with I
Speaker 1: guess that. Yeah, so he's better than what you're gonna
Speaker 1: get there. Just like we said about Amari Cooper, and
Speaker 1: on top of that, he's not in a contract year.
Speaker 1: He is in his second year as a first round pick,
Speaker 1: which means you have club control for four more years
Speaker 1: including this year. That's a long time. A first round
Speaker 1: pick is not a big expense if you're getting four
Speaker 1: years of that caliber play again, assuming his arrows going up,
Speaker 1: essentially you're getting the pick, like literally the pick, because
Speaker 1: you get all the time that you get under that
Speaker 1: rookie contract. He doesn't really fit like the strong safety mold,
Speaker 1: but like whatever that you can interchange that stuff. He
Speaker 1: could he'll be fine, like in the past, happy NFL.
Speaker 1: If he's not the best run defender in the world,
Speaker 1: that's okay. I would gladly do it. The problem is,
Speaker 1: to Nick's point, like is that even enough? And I
Speaker 1: think what you said the wording of that report is important.
Speaker 1: The Dolphins gave him permission to seek one. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: read that as, yeah, go look around if you can
Speaker 1: find somebody willing to pay the ransom, We're gonna ask
Speaker 1: by all means do it. Because a week ago they
Speaker 1: traded Laramie Tunsel for two first round picks in a
Speaker 1: second so was dumb, but hey, that's just sure. Whatever
Speaker 1: but I mean that could be what you're talking about,
Speaker 1: Like the Dolphins could very well be Like, if you
Speaker 1: find somebody who's willing to give us three ones, we'll
Speaker 1: do it. Have fun. Yeah, because I would not give
Speaker 1: him up for just one first round pick. That's not enough.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's he could be. He's supposed to be
Speaker 1: a piece of your young core. Like, yeah, they're rebuilding
Speaker 1: around young players like Nika Fitzpatrick. Like, pulling the plug
Speaker 1: on him one game into his second season seems crazy
Speaker 1: to me. Would you would you be willing to part
Speaker 1: with another player, even a player that's a little more significant,
Speaker 1: like we talked about yesterday, one of those cornerbacks that
Speaker 1: maybe you're willing to give up in order to get
Speaker 1: him with a one. So like in so you're saying,
Speaker 1: like a one in Jordan Lewis or Anthony Brown or yeah,
Speaker 1: one of those guys. They don't want Anthony Brown. He's
Speaker 1: going to be a free agent. Yeah, I don't think
Speaker 1: that's the thing. Like, and that's I don't think. I
Speaker 1: don't think And again I haven't talked to anybody in Miami,
Speaker 1: but I don't think players are important to them. They're
Speaker 1: trying to read they're yeah, they're doing the Browns. Yeah.
Speaker 1: If they don't want Meka Fitzpatrick, then you know Larry
Speaker 1: made Tunseil, then they don't want any of those guys.
Speaker 1: They want the picks. I just don't understand that move
Speaker 1: because I mean, would you just want a team full
Speaker 1: of rookies? I mean still, Fitzpatrick would be a guy
Speaker 1: that you would if you want to be a young team,
Speaker 1: the building around it, you don't throw everyone out. I mean,
Speaker 1: the Giants didn't trade sae Quon Barkley, right, I mean,
Speaker 1: I mean they stopped it. You know, Landon Collins and
Speaker 1: Vernon and you know those guys. It's unfortunate for Menca
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick expect. I can't imagine coming from Alabama, where winning
Speaker 1: is like a birthright at this point, to be on
Speaker 1: a team that looks like it's going to be that
Speaker 1: bad is probably a tough pill to swallow. But the
Speaker 1: way this, I mean, if the Dolphins do this the
Speaker 1: way they want to, they will be rounding into being
Speaker 1: a good team around the time it's time to pay him,
Speaker 1: I would guess, you know what I mean. So at
Speaker 1: the earliest yeah, yeah, I mean, and the Browns aren't
Speaker 1: good yet we don't know how many games they're gonna win.
Speaker 1: But it's my point. Yeah, But I mean what it
Speaker 1: took the Browns four years from when they made that
Speaker 1: decision and they were bad. Yeah. And there's the thing
Speaker 1: people do get, Like some of the guys that they
Speaker 1: have now are first round picks that were even before
Speaker 1: like all those years that they were bad. So it
Speaker 1: wasn't even like just when they made the consciousness decision
Speaker 1: that we're going to kind of just tank this thing
Speaker 1: and start over, like they already had some talent. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I just think if they're starting now, especially getting
Speaker 1: rid of guys like Tounsul and if they let Minka
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick walk out of the door, they're even farther behind.
Speaker 1: Yeah point, I mean, who knows, But I think the
Speaker 1: Dolphins would want way too much to make this feasible.
Speaker 1: But I would do it for a first and if
Speaker 1: the rumors are true that they could be talked into
Speaker 1: doing it for a second, um, I'll run to Miami
Speaker 1: to do that deal. Yeah, but I would you do
Speaker 1: first and fourth? Would you do first and fifth? Yes?
Speaker 1: I would again, And like they did a first for
Speaker 1: a guy who was only going to play nine more
Speaker 1: games on a cheap contract. You're getting three years of
Speaker 1: very cheap production and then an option year for a
Speaker 1: first round pick. Yeah, sign me up. I'm here for it. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, like I the logic makes sense. The only
Speaker 1: thing is that when you look at how many guys
Speaker 1: are going to be restricted or unrestricted free agents on
Speaker 1: this team next year, you don't really know exactly where
Speaker 1: your holes are going to be. I mean, are you
Speaker 1: going to sign Byron Jones? Do you need a cornerback? Yeah? Man,
Speaker 1: I guess that's really it. I mean, we'll see what
Speaker 1: happens with the jufferip line. Jordan's got one more year,
Speaker 1: Jordan Cheeto both have one more year after this. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean obviously the quarterback and receiver are not signed,
Speaker 1: but they will be. So that's not really a change there.
Speaker 1: You just you know, you just early on in the year,
Speaker 1: we'll see what if you got some kind of injury
Speaker 1: to one of the positions, maybe on the offensive line,
Speaker 1: And then you're like, man, we've already traded a first
Speaker 1: round pick away. But you're it's not you're getting nothing.
Speaker 1: You're getting a very young, talented safety, which I can't
Speaker 1: believe we're in I love talking draft. I'm not mad
Speaker 1: about it, but I didn't expect to be in the draft.
Speaker 1: Weeds in Week two. But you don't need an offensive
Speaker 1: tackle anymore. Nobody expected Lyle to resign, but he did.
Speaker 1: Cornerback and defensive tackle, in my opinion, are the two positions,
Speaker 1: and maybe safety. Those are three positions that going into
Speaker 1: next year's draft, you're gonna have probably have to fill
Speaker 1: or you're gonna have to sign some guys back with
Speaker 1: free agent cops. So I'm sending a first round pick
Speaker 1: to Miami for a guy that can play two of
Speaker 1: those positions. I'm okay with that. Yeah, yeah, all right,
Speaker 1: let's let's get to some calls. We got a call
Speaker 1: from Tony and Denver. Tony, what up, hey, guys? Talking
Speaker 1: about the wide receivers this year. I think we're pretty
Speaker 1: rock solid. My question is with roster move guys like
Speaker 1: Tavon Austin and Cedric Wilson, it seems like they're on
Speaker 1: the sideline more than what they're playing on the field. Um.
Speaker 1: And also, you keep in mind we have Jarwin and
Speaker 1: Schultz of Wittens, you know that could be used as
Speaker 1: wide receivers as well. Um, why aren't we moving east
Speaker 1: guys to keep defensive linemen, like you know, your first
Speaker 1: round draft pick or Taco. I'm I'm I'm not following
Speaker 1: as far as far as being active because they were
Speaker 1: healthy scratches last week. Yeah, I mean that sounds great
Speaker 1: until you're you're you know, Gallup or Cooper or somebody
Speaker 1: comes up with with an injury. And then because I
Speaker 1: don't agree with you that Schultz and Jarwin can play receiver.
Speaker 1: I think they're athletic tight ends. They're not going to
Speaker 1: play receiver right Um, So that's that's why you have backups.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's why Cooper Rush is active. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's just the that's just what you do. And they're
Speaker 1: so they're so deep a defensive line that you know
Speaker 1: that they picked the eight best guys and they didn't
Speaker 1: make the best eight. I don't think I follow that.
Speaker 1: I mean, cutting Tavon Austin doesn't help Taco Charlton get
Speaker 1: on the game day roster. He said, just make him inactive. Well,
Speaker 1: he is going to be an active because he's hurt
Speaker 1: right now. So oh, I mean I get but again,
Speaker 1: and I think obviously he's already hurt after one game.
Speaker 1: It would be a mistake to plan this huge role
Speaker 1: for Tavon Austin, but like I was encouraged by what
Speaker 1: I saw from him in Week one, small role active.
Speaker 1: He clearly has a special level of speed, and I'm
Speaker 1: willing to make concessions for that, again, assuming I'm not
Speaker 1: depending on him to carry this huge load, and they're not.
Speaker 1: But they also note there is that it sounds like
Speaker 1: it sounds like for everything you guys are talking about
Speaker 1: earlier on the show, Cedric Wilson is going to come up.
Speaker 1: If Tavon is going to be down, he's going to
Speaker 1: be held not going to be active this week, which
Speaker 1: means the Cowboys feel like they need five receivers act
Speaker 1: if if not, if they could just go with four,
Speaker 1: they wouldn't worry about bringing Cedric Wilson up and then
Speaker 1: potentially happen, I mean definitely having to cut somebody. So
Speaker 1: that tells you important to Cowboys think it is to
Speaker 1: have five. Jason Garrett told me at training camp that
Speaker 1: four is like the bare minimum, and you could tell
Speaker 1: the idea of actually doing it with four did not
Speaker 1: appeal to him. So that's not surprised. But I think
Speaker 1: that's that's just about covering your basis because I don't
Speaker 1: know you might disagree with me. I don't expect to
Speaker 1: see Cedric Wilson a lot unless somebody gets hurt up there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like they're not gonna. I will be surprised if he's
Speaker 1: out there returning punts on the road in his first
Speaker 1: active NFL game like that, would you know, especially with
Speaker 1: Randall Cobb right there, that would shock me, to be
Speaker 1: perfectly honest, real quick, before we end the show, I
Speaker 1: did have one other actually before we do that, we
Speaker 1: actually do our prediction. All right, let's do prediction. Let's
Speaker 1: start with you, Amber. What's your prediction for this week's show.
Speaker 1: Let's go. Oh god, I think the Cowboys win. I
Speaker 1: think we're we're starting to kind of well, we've been
Speaker 1: too calm about the kicker. I think he bring it back.
Speaker 1: Here we go. He misses one, but we won't be
Speaker 1: freaking out because the Cowboys will still win the game. Uh,
Speaker 1: don't ask me about scort. Cowboys wins. Brand Mahar misses
Speaker 1: a kick and then at least they still win. Yeah. Yes,
Speaker 1: this will be my seventh Cowboys Redskins game at FedEx Field.
Speaker 1: Only one of them hasn't been dramatic the fourteen game
Speaker 1: when everybody said all the records was a walk in
Speaker 1: the park. Other than that, it's always grimy and close
Speaker 1: and kind of ugly, and it'll probably be like that again.
Speaker 1: I may, like, maybe they don't protect Dac that well,
Speaker 1: maybe he gets sacked a couple of times. Maybe Zeke
Speaker 1: can find no running room. Terry McLaren maybe makes a
Speaker 1: big play. I don't. I don't know exactly, but it
Speaker 1: won't be as easy as the Giants game. Um, I've
Speaker 1: got them winning. I think the Cowboys will have twenty seven,
Speaker 1: the Redskins will have either seventeen or twenty four. I
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be a lot like the seventeen game
Speaker 1: when Byron pick six to them at the end and
Speaker 1: made it look a little more lopsided than it actually was.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm thinking like a late touchdown by somebody
Speaker 1: makes it twenty seven twenty four when it was really
Speaker 1: twenty seven seventeen. You know, that type of thing. But
Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys win, and I think Dak. I
Speaker 1: think Dak throws for three hundred and he's not gonna
Speaker 1: hit four, but he's gonna have the next day. Okay, Nick, Well,
Speaker 1: twenty seven to twenty four is the scorer that I have,
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna stick to that. I think the Cowboys
Speaker 1: win twenty seven to twenty four, but it won't be
Speaker 1: like that. I think it'll be. It's an overtime. I've
Speaker 1: got overtime twenty seven twenty four, all right, ot. I
Speaker 1: also think the Cowboys will win. I know, I think
Speaker 1: it'll be an easier game than you guys think it
Speaker 1: will be, but I don't think it'll feel like the
Speaker 1: Giants game. I think the final score is gonna be
Speaker 1: thirty one twenty three, but I think it's gonna be
Speaker 1: one of those games at early on feels a little
Speaker 1: more contentious, feels a little closer. But then towards the
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, I think the Cowboys pull away and I
Speaker 1: think they score game. I know, but well, no, that's it,
Speaker 1: is it? But but I think it's gonna it's gonna
Speaker 1: that's gonna be like again, it's it's gonna they're gonna
Speaker 1: pull away at the end where it's gonna feel more sixteen,
Speaker 1: it'll feel more Yeah, it'll feel more comfortable at the
Speaker 1: end than it does early on. I think early on
Speaker 1: this game, I actually expect the Cowboys to face them
Speaker 1: at VERSEI early on the game, I expect something's gonna
Speaker 1: happen early where it's gonna be like, huh, this may
Speaker 1: not be the team that we saw last week, but
Speaker 1: I think once they get it going, I think they'll
Speaker 1: win comfortable. I'll say this, and you know, the Redskins,
Speaker 1: I think they're probably better than they get credit for it,
Speaker 1: but I don't think they're gonna contend for a playoff spot.
Speaker 1: If the Cowboys on the on the off chance they
Speaker 1: go up there and really handle them, that says a
Speaker 1: lot to me about this team's true potential exactly Like
Speaker 1: if I mean, if we're here on Monday talking about
Speaker 1: a very convincing win. I know it's early, but I'll
Speaker 1: be ready to be like this team's got something because
Speaker 1: it's hard to do. Like I said, they it's a
Speaker 1: vision team. It's not. It's not easy up there. It
Speaker 1: never is, YEP, Division teams on the road, it's always
Speaker 1: gonna be a rough game. It's always gonna be tough,
Speaker 1: and so now it will prob will we feel more
Speaker 1: like a college um, you know, a college game that's
Speaker 1: at a neutral neutral look, there would be people be
Speaker 1: there a ton of Cowboys fans there, I'm certain, but
Speaker 1: I love I don't. I just love Cowboys fans in
Speaker 1: that area, Like they're so passionate, they're so crazy. Yeah. Uh,
Speaker 1: they show up and show out probably as much as
Speaker 1: any other part of the country. If the fans up
Speaker 1: and the remember last year when we pulled up at
Speaker 1: the hotel and there were like flag bearers like waving
Speaker 1: the bus into the lobby like it was awesome. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I love that area. All right, we appreciate you guys.
