No, he didn't go upstairs. 0:01:47.520 --> 0:01:49.400 Ut yeah, I mean for like a split second before 0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:52.440 you went to locker room availability. You were in locker room. 0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:54.960 Then you got on your horse, you went to the 0:01:55.840 --> 0:01:59.200 league meetings, You went across down to Irving, were there 0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:00.960 for the league meetings, and then from there you went 0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:02.880 back to Arlington and was at at and T Stadium 0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:03.280 last night. 0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:04.200 Yep, yep. 0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:05.560 All in a day's work and now you've got a 0:02:05.560 --> 0:02:08.600 sportcoat on. This is what happens. This is what I saw. 0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:10.400 Him grinding yesterday. We're hanging out for a little bit 0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:11.200 of those owners meetings. 0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:13.360 Did you take one of those black rifle coffees in 0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:14.200 like yesterday too? 0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:14.320 No? 0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:14.720 I didn't. 0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:16.959 I actually didn't have any coffee yesterday, so I'm yeah, 0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:19.239 I just I was just running off vibes and John 0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:20.400 Mashoda's expertise. 0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:24.079 Yeah, Dream, did you make it over there to the 0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:25.480 league meetings too? I did? 0:02:25.520 --> 0:02:25.840 I did. 0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:29.519 Whenever it's usually there's like three days out there where 0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:32.000 you can potentially go. I only go for the final 0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:35.800 day because generally when everything wraps up, Roger Goodell will 0:02:35.840 --> 0:02:38.240 go talk in a conference room and that's when all 0:02:38.280 --> 0:02:40.280 the other owners are leaving. And so if you've been 0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:42.560 to these a few times, they're at this same place. 0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:43.880 It's in Lost clean. 0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:47.959 As and when they're leaving then that's usually when Jerry 0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:50.160 you can kind of grab him when he's coming out 0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:51.760 one of the side doors, which is. 0:02:51.680 --> 0:02:55.160 Good because all the other reporters are in Roger Goodell's 0:02:55.160 --> 0:02:55.760 press conference. 0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:58.480 So if you haven't been there before then it's sometimes 0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:00.799 it's easy to lose track of, you know, cause you 0:03:00.840 --> 0:03:02.600 gotta walk outside and kind of go around to this 0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:05.200 other area where you're it. I don't know you were 0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:06.519 saying there, Nick, it kind of feels like you're not 0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:08.040 supposed to be their type thing. You know, it's a 0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:11.560 nice hotel, but man, I'll tell you what, when Jerry 0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:13.800 sees you, he just always has something to talk about, 0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:15.840 like he And at no point did I feel like 0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:17.480 we talked him for over twenty minutes. At no point 0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:19.160 did I feel like he was like all right, guys, 0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:21.359 I gotta go like he was. I don't know, and 0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:25.000 probably the team playing well is probably factored into but yeah, yeah, 0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:26.920 he was. He was down to talk for a while, 0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:30.000 and so when that happens, it makes it really worth it, because, 0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:32.760 like I was telling Beam before the show started that 0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:35.680 there's times like that where at the Combine and things 0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:37.560 like that where you feel pretty good that you're gonna 0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:40.000 get Jerry or Steven. But there are times every once 0:03:40.040 --> 0:03:41.960 in a while where you're waiting for three four hours 0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:43.760 and then you don't get anything, and then it's just 0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:45.440 kind of like you feel like you got to explain 0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:47.600 this to your bosses of like, this is what I know. 0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:49.600 We have to wait outside here, this is part of 0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:50.760 the job. This is what we do. 0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:53.400 So and the other interesting part about it, you didn't 0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:55.160 see it as much yesterday, but at the Combine is 0:03:55.800 --> 0:03:58.839 so few other owners talk and so there is such 0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:00.800 a payoff if you cover the cow Boys there's been 0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:03.320 at the Competition committee meetings where Steven's at. 0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:04.960 It's usually the beginning of combine. 0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:09.160 There's other coaches, other front office, no other reporters except 0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:11.720 for Cowboys reporters. And there's like ten Cowboys reporters that 0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:14.080 are there because it's it's worth your while, you know. 0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:16.400 We're all huddled around right kind of on the laptop 0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:18.960 working while we're waiting, and then he pops up. He's 0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:21.200 there for twenty minutes. And I've never done the league 0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:23.200 meetings grind, but like when you were talking about it, 0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:25.360 I was thinking, oh yeah, I'm just thinking the combine 0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:29.120 rotation of it all the uh I mean with him 0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:33.080 saying having a bunch to say yesterday though, does that lead. 0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:34.120 Into some news and notes? 0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:35.239 It does? It doesn't. 0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:37.400 I mean, I feel like there's a lot that Seguay 0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:38.760 pros probably. 0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:42.960 I mean, between Sunday and yesterday we have had fifty 0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:45.600 minutes of Jerry Jones Access five zero, so there's a 0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:46.000 lot to. 0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:47.240 Talk about Jerry Jones. 0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:47.880 Thanks Jerry. 0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:51.000 But I just want to start off with my biggest 0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:53.240 surprise about the league meetings before we do dive into 0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:56.599 the news and notes. The lunch was phenomenal. Oh my 0:04:56.680 --> 0:05:01.120 good gosh. So I almost picked up a water Burger 0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:03.400 before I came in. I was trying to love response 0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:05.160 for Yeah, yeah, me too. You should have picked up one. 0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:06.760 I should have pick would have been better. It would 0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:08.880 have been, but I would have had to pay Instead. 0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:10.840 I got free lunch here at the at the Los 0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:11.800 Colinas Hotel. 0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:13.920 The only reason you chose it over water? 0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:15.680 Yeah, it was only reason it was incredible. It was 0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:17.640 incredible stuff. Did not expect that glad I didn't pick 0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:19.919 up food but shut out Waterburger. I might tonight anyway. 0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:23.200 Uh News and notes, diving into what Jerry said yesterday 0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:25.440 during his twenty five minutes of access while I freeze 0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:28.039 because I didn't bring a coat, we could start off 0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:32.680 with the super Bowl was chosen for SOFI Stadium in 0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:35.760 twenty twenty seven yesterday, So that that makes at and 0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:38.719 T Stadium. It'll go at least seventeen years without a 0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:42.840 Super Bowl since twenty ten. Jerry was asked about a 0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:44.960 lot of things, you know, like were you guys in 0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:47.640 the conversation, did y'all put in a bid? And he 0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:50.280 was saying that there isn't really like a bid process anymore. 0:05:50.320 --> 0:05:51.920 But that people just kind of like stand up in 0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:55.200 the room and they move forward with candidates that see 0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:59.160 most fit, like what fit most criteria. Jerry said that 0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:02.320 sometimes the criteria that go along with it are just 0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:04.200 more than what we want to do. There was a 0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:05.839 time when you had to play some home games in 0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:07.800 some other countries to get a Super Bowl. We just 0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:09.960 decided to sit out that year. I'm using that more 0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:11.800 as an example, but it just doesn't fit for us 0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:16.080 right now. So he said he was thrilled about a 0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:18.520 SOFI getting into twenty twenty seven, said they deserved it, 0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:21.400 but that you know, AT and T Stadium just wasn't 0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:22.520 in the mix this time around. 0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:25.400 So that's so interesting, the fact that it's. 0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:29.520 Been that long for what could arguably be said as 0:06:29.560 --> 0:06:31.600 one of the best, if not the best stadium in 0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:32.039 the league. 0:06:32.240 --> 0:06:33.480 No question, that's how I feel. 0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:35.760 I mean, we're saying before the show, I feel like 0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:37.839 AT and T Stadium with the doors and roof open, 0:06:38.320 --> 0:06:41.000 is the best stadium. I haven't been to Allegiance yet, 0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:42.719 people I know they have been there say that it's 0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:44.599 not better than AT and T. So that's the only 0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:46.679 other ones that I would put in the newer level 0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:52.720 with at and t sofi Us Bank in Minneapolis beautiful 0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:55.839 and then and then obviously Allegiant where the Raiders play. 0:06:56.040 --> 0:06:58.800 And I'll tell you what this is. 0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:01.000 I'm just gonna read in between the lines of the 0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:04.480 twenty minutes around with Jerry. And I don't know if 0:07:04.480 --> 0:07:05.960 you noticed towards the end there when he was asked 0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:08.680 about the officiating, how he talked about how now this 0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:10.840 is all gonna come back to the stadium and the 0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:13.560 Super Bowl. How when he talked about the officiating, how 0:07:13.640 --> 0:07:18.320 he mentioned replay has brought more eyeballs to the game 0:07:18.400 --> 0:07:20.840 and made it more interesting, like they've been able to 0:07:20.880 --> 0:07:25.320 track that having instant replay has been actually good for 0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:27.640 the sport in terms of talking about it. And so 0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:30.680 I took that as probably the fact that so many 0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:33.320 people talk about the officials and the NFL and everything 0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:35.560 like that, and Jerry is a person that likes that, Hey, 0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:38.280 as long as everyone's talking about it, he's happy, because 0:07:38.320 --> 0:07:40.520 then the spotlights on the NFL. And clearly, if you 0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:42.640 follow sports right now in the United States of America, 0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:44.520 the NFL is just lapping everything else. 0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:45.400 It's not even close. 0:07:45.480 --> 0:07:48.600 So anyway, which makes me think of that Mark Cuban 0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:51.240 quote about how pigs get fat, hogs gets slaughtered. 0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:52.520 I'm so waiting for them. This is gonna happen. 0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:55.920 Don't sun the same time sit anyway, But that was 0:07:55.920 --> 0:07:57.640 almost the ten year anniversary is coming up on that one, 0:07:57.680 --> 0:07:58.760 so we're still gonna wait on that. 0:07:58.840 --> 0:07:59.880 But it's still get fatter. 0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:02.560 But because of that, I think there's a part of 0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:05.119 Jerry that likes LA having the Super Bowl again because 0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:06.120 of the glitz and the glamour. 0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:08.360 Jerry obviously was a big part of LA. 0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:11.360 Getting that team back there. Yeah, he's close with Stan Cronke. 0:08:12.000 --> 0:08:14.160 You know, if you've been out to that stadium, they have, 0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:16.720 like the NFL network headquarters are right across the street. 0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:18.920 They're really trying to build that into a hub. So 0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:21.000 I'm not saying that he's fine with not getting the 0:08:21.040 --> 0:08:22.840 Super Bowl, but I think that that would be the 0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:26.040 one spot where he'd be like, this helps the brand everything. 0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:27.840 You know, they did a great job with it when 0:08:27.880 --> 0:08:30.120 it was they just had the Super Bowl with twenty 0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:32.959 twenty two. So I do think there's a small part 0:08:33.000 --> 0:08:35.439 of Jerry that thinks like that of the bigger picture 0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:38.720 as opposed to just like being anger that my stadium 0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:40.600 isn't getting one, I guess yeah. 0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:44.800 And I completely get that because Jerry was so instrumental 0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:46.960 in allowing so far to happen, right, I mean, he 0:08:47.040 --> 0:08:48.080 was a big partner in that. 0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:49.720 Whole planning process. 0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:52.640 At some point, it'll come back at some point at 0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:55.719 and T Stadium is too much. You talk about in 0:08:55.760 --> 0:08:59.000 the limelight and in the middle of everything, the Cowboys 0:08:59.040 --> 0:09:02.079 brand eighteen and it's always there, So it'll come back 0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:04.520 at some point. It's just shocking to me that it 0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:08.440 continues to get kicked down the line that can continues 0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:11.640 to be kicked. And maybe you talk about the way 0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:15.000 that so far did things great, and LA is so 0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:18.440 reliable from a weather standpoint year round that maybe that 0:09:18.480 --> 0:09:19.520 plays a factor into it. 0:09:19.600 --> 0:09:22.280 And then the factor of twenty ten and the ice. 0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:24.880 And the snow and everything that happened in Dallas that 0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:28.040 year that was really out of control from a football standpoint, 0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:31.079 It was mostly just outside factors. Maybe that plays a 0:09:31.120 --> 0:09:34.480 factor into it too. But I still think if you 0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:37.320 do that nine times out of ten in Dallas at 0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:39.160 that time of year, it's not going to be what 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:40.760 it was in twenty ten. You're going to find a 0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:45.000 different weather report then you'll see it. And that's standing 0:09:45.040 --> 0:09:47.640 so interesting to think about. And I think at some 0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:51.000 point the Super Bowl will come back, just maybe after 0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:52.960 the World Cup Final comes Yeah, and. 0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:55.720 There's probably a possibility that, you know, once the renovations 0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:57.760 get made for I think it's the sweet level at AT 0:09:57.960 --> 0:10:01.760 and T Stadium ahead of the World Up that you know, 0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:05.600 maybe there's some some more leniency that the NFL will 0:10:05.600 --> 0:10:07.440 have and bringing back AT and T Stadium. On that 0:10:07.480 --> 0:10:09.400 same note, really quick, this isn't really a news of note. 0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:11.400 We can kind of brief it really quick. He was 0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:13.559 asked yesterday if he feels confident about the World Cup 0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:16.360 Final being at AT and T Stadium, and the new 0:10:16.440 --> 0:10:19.440 Jersey governor said. Phil Murphy said back in September that 0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:21.959 the two finalists are MetLife Stadium and AT and T 0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:24.760 and Jerry. He was asked few was confident, He said, no, 0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:26.520 I'm not confident, and he kind of gave a sales 0:10:26.520 --> 0:10:29.400 pitch after it was why AT and T Stadium should 0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:30.480 be the final finalist. 0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:32.439 So we'll see, we'll see it. 0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:34.920 It doesn't sound doesn't sound too promising there in case 0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:36.920 any soccer fans out there were hoping to get the 0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:37.439 final at. 0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:37.959 At and T. 0:10:38.840 --> 0:10:39.480 I'm still hoping. 0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:42.000 I'm still holding out hope as well. I am holding 0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:42.560 out hope as well. 0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:43.360 Let's make it happen. 0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:46.120 Yes, we could put together a sales pitch too. I mean, 0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:47.240 we can all three make it happen. 0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:49.280 Let's do Let's just do talking World Cup a couple days. 0:10:49.280 --> 0:10:49.760 We could do that. 0:10:49.960 --> 0:10:51.360 That that'd be great, be awesome. 0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:55.640 The owners did approve a new international game yesterday in 0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:58.480 South Paalo, Brazil for the twenty twenty four season. It's 0:10:58.520 --> 0:11:00.440 gonna be the league's first ever game in South America. 0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:02.960 I'll take that too, but yeah, well that's not going 0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:05.800 to happen. Jerry Jones was asked yesterday if there's any 0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:08.199 interest from the Cowboys and going out there, and it's 0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:10.160 the it's the same. It's the same thing as going 0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:12.880 out to England, whereas the Cowboys would have to give 0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:15.000 up a home game to go there and be the 0:11:15.000 --> 0:11:17.959 home team there. And he said, we have a lot 0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:19.559 of fans. It fits for a lot of clubs. It 0:11:19.600 --> 0:11:21.440 doesn't fit for the Cowboys as much. We have the 0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:23.960 highest attendance in the NFL. Of course, when we don't 0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:26.400 have a game here, it makes a big difference now. 0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:29.679 He did say that there is one international destination that 0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:31.880 he would be willing to go to if if the 0:11:31.960 --> 0:11:34.200 league were to don't it and he said, when we 0:11:34.240 --> 0:11:36.200 aren't playing here, I want to be in Mexico City. 0:11:38.280 --> 0:11:40.240 Oh okay, I thought you were saying, don't say the 0:11:40.320 --> 0:11:44.679 right one, but I was gonna say Mexican bad. He said, 0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:47.360 Mexico City is good and close. If I'm going international, 0:11:47.400 --> 0:11:49.480 I want to play there mainly because of our fans 0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:51.959 and our following and the affinity that we get UH 0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:54.400 here back home in the United States from the Hispanic 0:11:54.440 --> 0:11:56.640 fan base. And then he mentioned later in the interview 0:11:56.640 --> 0:11:59.640 of that as Teca, which is the big historic stadium 0:11:59.679 --> 0:12:03.960 in Mexico City, or Monterey where would be the two 0:12:04.000 --> 0:12:06.120 locations that he'd be willing to go play in Mexico. 0:12:06.240 --> 0:12:09.840 So if if if the Cowboys are going abroad, it's 0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:12.439 going to be in Mexico, that would be awesome. 0:12:12.440 --> 0:12:14.880 I wouldn't completely rule out Brazil, though I don't think 0:12:14.880 --> 0:12:17.120 it's one hundred percent the door shut on that. I 0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:19.640 still think it's a possibility. I think that's what Jerry's 0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:22.120 saying coming out of those meetings. But I wouldn't completely 0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:24.000 rule it out. There are other people that believe that 0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:26.040 the Cowboys still have a good chance of playing in 0:12:26.080 --> 0:12:28.760 Brazil next year with the extra home game, So I 0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:29.080 don't know. 0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:30.160 We'll see how that all. 0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:32.000 Gets worked out, but I don't think it would be 0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:34.400 a huge surprise if they end up playing that first 0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:37.199 game there. And I would not be opposed that either. 0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:40.280 No, I don't take that trip at all. It sounds great. 0:12:40.280 --> 0:12:42.480 Mexico City would be awesome as well. There are so 0:12:42.559 --> 0:12:45.920 many fans down there too. Yeah, either one of those right, phenomenal. 0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:48.040 Well, Jerry did say that he has a lot of 0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:50.560 business in Brazil and that he's the biggest automotive dealer 0:12:50.600 --> 0:12:51.080 in Brazil. 0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:52.400 He did say that in the interview. 0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:55.199 So what's it's the number one thing I learned yesterday, 0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:56.200 I'll be honest with you, was. 0:12:58.000 --> 0:12:59.840 No, it was like all then Watkins looked it up 0:12:59.840 --> 0:13:03.080 at after. It's true. It's stories out there. 0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:08.080 Yeah, dude, that's insane, that's incredible. Really, I'm I'm impressed. 0:13:08.240 --> 0:13:10.920 Yeah, he's like, there's nothing wrong with Brazil. I love Brazil. 0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:12.360 Or we have a ton of fans in Brazil. I'm 0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:14.760 one of the biggest automotive dealers in Brazil's. Yeah, that 0:13:14.880 --> 0:13:16.680 was kind of what we kind of like looked at 0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:18.680 each other like, oh okay, cool. I wish that would 0:13:18.679 --> 0:13:23.840 have followed up on that. That's my bad for. 0:13:24.120 --> 0:13:24.920 What are we doing here? 0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:28.880 But yeah, great cash, Yeah, straight straight cash. But yeah, 0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:31.120 fascinating stuff. And then the last thing we could touch 0:13:31.120 --> 0:13:35.040 on here before diving into the next segment is John 0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:38.880 across from He asked about Dak Prescott's contract extension situation. 0:13:39.320 --> 0:13:40.840 You know, with him having this NB m. 0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:44.760 VP caliber type season, obviously the you would think that 0:13:44.800 --> 0:13:46.520 the price tag would be going up. But it kind 0:13:46.520 --> 0:13:47.880 of sounds like a John, you can kind of pitch 0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:50.560 in here and kind of give your take, because you 0:13:50.559 --> 0:13:55.560 know Jerry B. Jerry B talking, He said that the 0:13:55.600 --> 0:13:57.520 price text kind of always been the same. That's kind 0:13:57.559 --> 0:13:59.160 of what I took from it, is that he's had 0:13:59.160 --> 0:14:01.319 this high number that he's looking forward to getting done 0:14:01.320 --> 0:14:03.880 when the season is over. He said that that number 0:14:03.880 --> 0:14:05.400 has been high, and it's been the same since he's 0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:07.800 been playing. When he played poorly early in the season 0:14:07.960 --> 0:14:10.280 and since he's been playing better later in the season. 0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:12.839 He said he's not worried about an increasing price tag, 0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:15.360 but he does know that there's a lot of players 0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:16.920 that he's going to have to pay here pretty soon, 0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:18.200 and he said it's going to be like fitting a 0:14:18.200 --> 0:14:20.680 square peg in a round hole. So I know there's 0:14:20.680 --> 0:14:23.280 a little bit of concerns there as far as getting 0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:25.000 everybody done, because I mean, when you look at it 0:14:25.000 --> 0:14:28.840 on paper, Dak Prescott, Ceedee Lamb, Michael Parsons, Deron Bland, 0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:31.360 now Tony Pollard, if you want to bring him back, 0:14:31.400 --> 0:14:32.760 I mean, there's a lot of guys that they're going 0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:35.240 to have to pay here pretty soon. So at Dak 0:14:35.280 --> 0:14:37.760 Prescott obviously being at the forefront of that conversation, just 0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:40.640 because an extension needs to get done this offseason and 0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:45.160 preferably as soon as possible, and this MVP caliber season 0:14:45.160 --> 0:14:46.800 will surely make that a little bit more difficult. 0:14:46.800 --> 0:14:48.440 Well, think about even if you're going to bring up 0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:50.600 Deron Bland, you can bring up the entire twenty to 0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:56.120 twenty two draft class, Yeah, Tyler Smith, Tyler Smith, Jake Ferguson, 0:14:56.520 --> 0:14:57.360 Deron Bland. 0:14:57.880 --> 0:15:00.280 I mean, the list goes on and on on that one. 0:15:00.320 --> 0:15:03.160 Because they've they've had so much impact from that draft 0:15:03.160 --> 0:15:05.160 class that all of those contracts are going to hit 0:15:05.160 --> 0:15:08.600 in the same offseason if you don't get something done early. So, uh, 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:11.320 definitely something to keep an eye on. And I think 0:15:11.400 --> 0:15:14.400 right now you're riding the high. You're you're you're winning games. 0:15:14.400 --> 0:15:17.640 He's playing at an MVP caliber level. Don't worry about 0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:20.520 it too much. Uh, but at some point that will 0:15:20.560 --> 0:15:22.680 be a conversation, especially in the off season, that's going 0:15:22.760 --> 0:15:23.440 to be a conversation. 0:15:23.760 --> 0:15:25.080 Speaking of Dak Prescott, he. 0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:28.120 Is one of eight finalists for the Art Rooney Sportsmanship 0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:31.000 Awards that that the that came down this morning. He's 0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:35.000 the only quarterback to be one of the finalists, along 0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:40.640 with Kevin Zeller or Kevin Zieler, Bobby Wagner, c J Mosley, 0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:44.280 Khalil Mack, Kyle Huschak, Max Crosby, and Buddha Baker and 0:15:44.440 --> 0:15:45.120 Dak Prescott. 0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:46.920 Look, I love Max Crosby. Well, we're talking about a 0:15:46.920 --> 0:15:47.760 sportsmanship award. 0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:49.880 Yep, yep is is the hill. 0:15:50.080 --> 0:15:52.240 He's always saying something to quarterbacks every time he throws 0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:52.960 their head in the ground. 0:15:53.040 --> 0:15:53.960 Yeah, it's pretty. 0:15:53.720 --> 0:15:57.160 Impressive given to the player who best embodied embodies traits 0:15:57.200 --> 0:16:00.160 like integrity and respect for the game and opponents. 0:16:00.760 --> 0:16:03.760 Current players decide the winner. So hey, if current players 0:16:03.760 --> 0:16:04.800 have them final line. 0:16:04.720 --> 0:16:07.440 That's true. That's true. Maybe I'm not on the field, 0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:09.080 you know, I don't know anything. I don't know anything. 0:16:09.880 --> 0:16:12.880 If it's anything from what we've seen in that Quarterback 0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:16.280 documentary on on Netflix, he talks a lot on the field, 0:16:16.320 --> 0:16:17.359 and then after the game's. 0:16:17.080 --> 0:16:19.360 Over, he's buddy, buddy. That's study. So that is true. 0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:22.280 I don't want to get John on the conversation though. 0:16:22.520 --> 0:16:26.080 As long as Jerry's Jones is alive, there's no chance 0:16:26.160 --> 0:16:29.280 that Dak Prescott, Michael Parsons, and Cede lamm are going anywhere. 0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:30.200 Yes, it's not happening. 0:16:30.960 --> 0:16:32.600 I think that they'll find ways to get all those 0:16:32.600 --> 0:16:35.320 other guys that you mentioned, but they're all they're on 0:16:35.360 --> 0:16:37.360 the side, like those three that that trio. 0:16:37.680 --> 0:16:38.400 That's what you know. 0:16:38.440 --> 0:16:40.280 When he had to follow up, oh yeah, you asked 0:16:40.280 --> 0:16:43.120 it about CD, That's the way I took his answer 0:16:43.400 --> 0:16:46.080 on that was that, yeah, we'll figure it out when 0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:48.320 it gets there. We want these guys obviously playing at 0:16:48.320 --> 0:16:50.400 this elite level because the goal is to win a 0:16:50.480 --> 0:16:52.640 super Bowl, and it's our chances are. 0:16:52.640 --> 0:16:54.160 Significantly better to win a super Bowl. 0:16:54.360 --> 0:16:56.040 These guys are playing at that level, and I totally 0:16:56.080 --> 0:16:59.520 get it, but Jerry loves stars, and you could potentially 0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:02.640 have the highest paid quarterback, highest paid defensive player, one 0:17:02.680 --> 0:17:04.399 of the highest paid wide receivers, and that might. 0:17:04.280 --> 0:17:05.879 Just be the cost of doing business, you know. 0:17:06.040 --> 0:17:09.080 So it also makes you think, especially after the Otani deal, 0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:11.040 that if there wasn't a salary cap, we wouldn't even 0:17:11.040 --> 0:17:12.600 have to discuss this stuff. It would just be getting 0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:14.719 done and we would just be reporting about how crazy 0:17:14.720 --> 0:17:17.320 the number is being given to Dak, Yep, Mike, and CD. 0:17:17.440 --> 0:17:21.040 I just do not see those three everything else. I mean, 0:17:21.800 --> 0:17:23.800 it's difficult for me to see them letting dron Blanco 0:17:23.920 --> 0:17:26.280 or Tyler Smith, but that's on that next level. 0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:28.280 Those three, I just can't see him. I mean just 0:17:28.320 --> 0:17:29.439 the way that they've all played. 0:17:29.600 --> 0:17:31.320 I mean, you're not going to move on from a 0:17:31.359 --> 0:17:34.720 franchise quarterback playing at an MVP level. Micah is doing 0:17:34.840 --> 0:17:38.359 numbers that haven't been seen since Reggie White and Ceedee Lamb. 0:17:38.800 --> 0:17:42.120 Every single season keeps getting better and better. Jerry loves 0:17:42.200 --> 0:17:44.359 number one wide receivers. He's not letting Ceedee Lamb go. 0:17:44.720 --> 0:17:47.119 Yeah, if there wasn't a salary cap, I feel like 0:17:47.160 --> 0:17:49.240 we could book trips to February as soon as I 0:17:49.280 --> 0:17:54.000 get announced. But yeah, it's that's probably there's probably a 0:17:54.000 --> 0:17:55.720 lot of truth on that being the nucleus of those 0:17:55.760 --> 0:17:59.359 three guys, but it also kind of it starts with 0:17:59.400 --> 0:18:01.359 this offseason. They're gonna have to make some decisions this 0:18:01.400 --> 0:18:03.680 offseason because it's gonna, you know, have a trickle down 0:18:03.680 --> 0:18:05.520 effect for the next few years and whenever they do 0:18:05.600 --> 0:18:08.080 get to the Micah conversation with the Deron Bland situation, 0:18:08.560 --> 0:18:11.440 So are we talking about you know, Stefan Gilmour, Hey man, 0:18:11.480 --> 0:18:13.800 we love you, but just can't bring you back. I mean, 0:18:14.280 --> 0:18:15.960 there's only so much we can do here. I think 0:18:15.960 --> 0:18:17.800 that's a conversation that will probably had with a couple 0:18:17.800 --> 0:18:18.200 of guys. 0:18:18.400 --> 0:18:21.280 And it's tough. It's tough, but oh yeah, conversation. 0:18:21.359 --> 0:18:23.520 Yeah, when you're making all those moves, though I can 0:18:23.520 --> 0:18:25.640 already see where it would be. It's that, well, we're 0:18:25.640 --> 0:18:27.200 gonna have to draft a corner in like the second 0:18:27.280 --> 0:18:29.400 or third round, kind of throw them to the wolves, 0:18:29.440 --> 0:18:31.840 and hey, there might be some growing pains, but we 0:18:32.040 --> 0:18:34.679 are paying these guys all of this, or are about. 0:18:34.440 --> 0:18:35.919 To pay all these guys. These are some of the 0:18:35.960 --> 0:18:36.720 moves we have to make. 0:18:36.760 --> 0:18:39.600 That's why, you know, you list your top players and 0:18:39.600 --> 0:18:42.119 then obviously Jerry and Mike as being most important or 0:18:42.480 --> 0:18:45.000 Mike McCarthy Serry being the most important. But very high 0:18:45.000 --> 0:18:46.960 in that list is Will McLay because they're going to 0:18:47.040 --> 0:18:48.919 have to continue to draft as well as they have 0:18:49.800 --> 0:18:51.680 to fill in the gaps in some of these spots. 0:18:51.720 --> 0:18:54.000 You know, A big sentence that I feel like has 0:18:54.000 --> 0:18:56.200 been told to us a lot, at least since I've 0:18:56.240 --> 0:18:58.720 started on the beat is we trust in our scouting 0:18:58.720 --> 0:19:00.960 and we trust in our evaluation department. Yeah, And I 0:19:00.960 --> 0:19:02.920 feel like it gets even more important when you talk 0:19:02.920 --> 0:19:05.679 about this conversation because it's like, Okay, this is just 0:19:05.680 --> 0:19:08.639 an example. Hey, we can let Ustefind Gilmore go because 0:19:08.640 --> 0:19:10.879 we trust that we can draft another one, you know, 0:19:11.000 --> 0:19:12.919 like not another Stefan Gilmore. We can draft a guy 0:19:12.960 --> 0:19:15.000 that can be just as impactful to throw in on 0:19:15.280 --> 0:19:17.200 the boundary and be okay, or throw in at Nickel 0:19:17.240 --> 0:19:17.800 and be okay. 0:19:17.840 --> 0:19:19.680 So how do you guys think that would impact though 0:19:19.720 --> 0:19:21.800 the potential? If they've had so much success off of 0:19:21.840 --> 0:19:25.679 the Cooks Gilmore trades, where would you guys sit on 0:19:25.720 --> 0:19:27.920 the whole idea of do you want to keep trying 0:19:27.920 --> 0:19:30.320 to make those moves or are your picks too much 0:19:30.359 --> 0:19:32.960 where you have to get those you can't make those 0:19:33.000 --> 0:19:35.440 maybe one two year swings on veteran players. Because they've 0:19:35.440 --> 0:19:36.920 had so much success, it makes me think that they're 0:19:36.920 --> 0:19:37.960 not going to stop doing that. 0:19:38.119 --> 0:19:39.080 Yeah, it feels. 0:19:38.840 --> 0:19:39.760 Circumstantial for me. 0:19:40.080 --> 0:19:40.520 Same here. 0:19:40.600 --> 0:19:43.080 I think they've been looking for deals like that. They've 0:19:43.080 --> 0:19:46.800 been hoping for opportunities to spend Day three picks late 0:19:46.880 --> 0:19:50.719 day three picks, to have impactful players veterans come in 0:19:51.000 --> 0:19:53.639 and have the same sort of impact that Cooks and 0:19:53.680 --> 0:19:57.199 Gilmore have had. That doesn't always happen, though, in not 0:19:57.320 --> 0:19:58.720 every year you're going to have a guy on the 0:19:58.760 --> 0:20:00.960 market like a Gilmore or co and say, hey, here's 0:20:00.960 --> 0:20:03.080 a fifth round pick or here's a package of a 0:20:03.119 --> 0:20:04.080 fifth and a sixth. 0:20:03.880 --> 0:20:06.679 And it's going to work out. I think if it 0:20:06.760 --> 0:20:08.000 is available. 0:20:07.520 --> 0:20:10.000 And you do have an opportunity to do that, I 0:20:10.480 --> 0:20:14.919 don't see them trading rounds one through three ever, in 0:20:15.040 --> 0:20:19.000 round four almost all any time. I mean, they would 0:20:19.040 --> 0:20:21.640 have to be a perfect deal to trade a fourth 0:20:21.720 --> 0:20:25.080 round pick. They value those picks super well, and for 0:20:25.119 --> 0:20:27.200 good reason. I mean, we talked about it yesterday. Outside 0:20:27.200 --> 0:20:29.480 of twenty twenty three right now, you're still hoping for 0:20:29.520 --> 0:20:30.320 a little bit more. 0:20:30.160 --> 0:20:31.600 Out of your twenty twenty three class. 0:20:32.040 --> 0:20:35.960 But the last four years have been really impressive draft wise, 0:20:36.040 --> 0:20:40.760 and they've continued to do so drafting and a roster. 0:20:40.480 --> 0:20:41.480 Building at a high level. 0:20:41.480 --> 0:20:43.320 And I mean, if you're able to do that with 0:20:43.560 --> 0:20:46.080 later day three picks, that's one thing. If you're able 0:20:46.280 --> 0:20:48.600 to do it with rounds one through four, that's another thing. 0:20:48.680 --> 0:20:50.199 To Marvin and no, Overstone's going to come back and 0:20:50.200 --> 0:20:51.800 redeem the twenty twenty three draft class. 0:20:51.800 --> 0:20:52.000 I hope. 0:20:52.040 --> 0:20:55.280 So it sounds great. Hey, Villyambi Fojoco was designated for return, 0:20:55.359 --> 0:20:55.800 Maybe he. 0:20:55.760 --> 0:20:56.399 Pops back in. 0:20:56.600 --> 0:20:59.240 Yeah, we could touch on about super fast Jonathan Hankins 0:20:59.240 --> 0:21:02.000 hard pressed to play on Saturday or excuse me, on Sunday. 0:21:02.000 --> 0:21:05.880 I'm thinking college on Sunday. According to Mike McCarthy. So 0:21:06.119 --> 0:21:08.479 it looks like there's gonna need to be some defensive 0:21:08.480 --> 0:21:10.800 tackle help. Expect Carl Davis to get elevated off the 0:21:10.800 --> 0:21:14.040 practice squad. Ten year veteran who you know, he's played 0:21:14.119 --> 0:21:16.600 with a handful of teams and six foot five, three 0:21:16.720 --> 0:21:18.760 hundred and thirty five pounds. I believe so he's he's 0:21:18.800 --> 0:21:21.040 definitely a wide body in there. And then two guys 0:21:21.040 --> 0:21:23.840 were They had their twenty one day practice windows open. 0:21:24.600 --> 0:21:27.880 Defensive end Villiami Fijoco Junior, the fourth round pick out 0:21:27.880 --> 0:21:30.399 of San Jose State. He hasn't played all season, but 0:21:30.440 --> 0:21:31.960 he has been on the fifty three man when he 0:21:32.000 --> 0:21:34.359 wasn't on the ir and then Billy Price, he's on 0:21:34.359 --> 0:21:36.159 the practice squad. He had his twenty one day window 0:21:36.200 --> 0:21:39.080 opened as well. I don't foresee either of those guys 0:21:39.359 --> 0:21:40.920 being on the roster by the end of the season. 0:21:41.040 --> 0:21:42.439 I don't think either of them make the fifty three 0:21:42.480 --> 0:21:43.359 man at some point. 0:21:43.440 --> 0:21:44.800 Wow, I just. 0:21:44.760 --> 0:21:47.280 Don't see room for them unless an injury happens between 0:21:47.320 --> 0:21:48.960 now and then. 0:21:48.760 --> 0:21:51.600 I don't see where they could fit in. But maybe 0:21:51.600 --> 0:21:52.000 I'm wrong. 0:21:52.040 --> 0:21:55.359 We'll see, Yeah, I mean right now, Brandon Aubrey's carrying 0:21:55.520 --> 0:21:57.000 this rookie class. 0:21:56.800 --> 0:21:58.600 He wasn't even a draft pick. 0:21:58.760 --> 0:22:01.760 And Hunter lip Key, that's true, Hey, he wasn't a 0:22:01.800 --> 0:22:03.720 draft pick either. He want a draft pick either. 0:22:04.760 --> 0:22:06.200 We got a text from the four three to two 0:22:06.240 --> 0:22:07.800 before we go to break. He said he lives out 0:22:07.800 --> 0:22:09.760 in West Texas. He looked out his window this morning. 0:22:09.800 --> 0:22:11.920 I'm pretty sure he saw Brandon Aubrey warming up, kicking 0:22:11.920 --> 0:22:16.040 toward AT and T stadium hashtag weapon nice one. Yeah, 0:22:17.800 --> 0:22:20.119 he's trying to trying to make it work all right 0:22:20.240 --> 0:22:23.080 when we come back. We don't have Isaiah standback today, 0:22:23.119 --> 0:22:26.440 but it's next man up. It is our own rendition 0:22:26.640 --> 0:22:28.960 of quarterback vision, of QB vision. We're gonna take a 0:22:28.960 --> 0:22:31.760 look in a preview the Cowboys offense versus that Bill's 0:22:31.800 --> 0:22:35.080 defense that's missing a couple of pieces. How much does 0:22:35.080 --> 0:22:37.080 that play a factor when we come back with more 0:22:37.119 --> 0:22:37.960 talking Cowboys. 0:22:38.960 --> 0:22:40.680 Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the 0:22:40.760 --> 0:22:43.680 cheatah Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat repellent he bought 0:22:43.720 --> 0:22:46.600 online was reliable, and now Todd is trying to be 0:22:46.640 --> 0:22:49.159 faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per 0:22:49.920 --> 0:22:51.679 But the good news is Todd has AT and T 0:22:51.760 --> 0:22:54.439 five G. It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he 0:22:54.560 --> 0:22:56.760 learned the best thing to do is stop running and 0:22:56.920 --> 0:22:59.399 toss her the backpack with the beef stew At and 0:22:59.440 --> 0:23:03.080 T five G fast, reliable, secure, It's not complicated. 0:23:03.280 --> 0:23:05.480 Five G requires compatible planning device.

I can turn 0:25:01.000 --> 0:25:01.360 to the left. 0:25:01.400 --> 0:25:03.639 Normally I turn to the left and find Isaiah and 0:25:03.720 --> 0:25:04.880 ask have you had your oats? 0:25:04.920 --> 0:25:06.520 This morning. Did you get your oats in John. 0:25:06.480 --> 0:25:09.359 I most certainly did not. I'm going on a bottle 0:25:09.359 --> 0:25:10.320 of water right now, that's all. 0:25:10.720 --> 0:25:12.600 Yeah, let's go same here. 0:25:12.600 --> 0:25:13.560 I got a breakfast person. 0:25:14.560 --> 0:25:17.840 Wait really never just in general, no, I mean like 0:25:17.880 --> 0:25:19.320 you just don't eat breakfast. 0:25:19.359 --> 0:25:21.399 No, no, I'm never hungry in the morning. 0:25:21.400 --> 0:25:22.800 Do you like breakfast food. 0:25:23.760 --> 0:25:25.480 Yeah, it's fine, but it's not like. 0:25:27.000 --> 0:25:29.760 The idea of eating this massive breakfast, like you know, 0:25:29.880 --> 0:25:32.800 the whole like traditional like whatever, toast, eggs. 0:25:33.160 --> 0:25:33.640 I would never. 0:25:34.000 --> 0:25:36.000 I can barely eat granola bar in the morning. I'm 0:25:36.000 --> 0:25:36.760 not angry at all. 0:25:36.840 --> 0:25:39.359 Interesting, My stomach typically takes a couple of hours to 0:25:39.359 --> 0:25:41.479 get settled when I wake up to so I'm kind 0:25:41.520 --> 0:25:43.480 of along the same line of thinking. But there have 0:25:43.560 --> 0:25:45.080 been sometimes where I hop out of bed, I'm like, 0:25:45.280 --> 0:25:46.920 where's the eggs, let's go to work. 0:25:47.080 --> 0:25:49.480 Mine is mostly just because I don't like waking up 0:25:49.640 --> 0:25:52.640 in the morning early. I'm a night owl, so I'm 0:25:52.720 --> 0:25:56.320 usually up at two am and not not up at seven. 0:25:56.720 --> 0:25:58.920 So mine is like I just don't have time to 0:25:58.920 --> 0:26:01.320 eat breakfast normally, then go grab it by deet. I 0:26:01.320 --> 0:26:05.000 love breakfast food, though. The if Isaiah were in here, 0:26:05.040 --> 0:26:07.040 he would be flagger flabbergasted. 0:26:07.080 --> 0:26:08.240 He would just be beside us. 0:26:08.280 --> 0:26:10.240 Oh, we've talked about it before. Yeah, he was most 0:26:10.280 --> 0:26:12.240 important the other day or whatever. 0:26:12.359 --> 0:26:15.200 Okay, cool, all right, the energy, all right, Isaiah. 0:26:14.920 --> 0:26:15.560 I got energy. 0:26:15.600 --> 0:26:15.960 I'm fire. 0:26:16.040 --> 0:26:18.200 And also I don't really drink any coffee either, and 0:26:18.280 --> 0:26:20.600 it's right that so I don't really I don't feel 0:26:20.600 --> 0:26:22.560 like I need the energy in the morning. I guess 0:26:22.600 --> 0:26:25.359 I could always use it, but uh yeah, now just 0:26:25.359 --> 0:26:27.600 not a not a breakfast person, had a notes person, 0:26:27.680 --> 0:26:30.359 Sarah guys, just going off. 0:26:30.359 --> 0:26:33.760 Vibes and dream living a dream life. Right, let's roll, 0:26:34.080 --> 0:26:37.280 all right, Dak Prescott has been living the dream lately. 0:26:37.359 --> 0:26:40.840 I mean, he's playing at an extremely high level. He 0:26:40.960 --> 0:26:44.200 continues to throw the rock around, take care of the football, 0:26:44.600 --> 0:26:47.160 lead his team the victory this week against the team 0:26:47.240 --> 0:26:52.560 that's missing multiple pieces on that defense. We talked earlier 0:26:52.600 --> 0:26:56.200 in the year, even about the Matt Mullano and what 0:26:56.240 --> 0:26:57.840 he did in the first couple of weeks of the year. 0:26:57.840 --> 0:27:00.680 He's out, he's on ir. The the way that they 0:27:00.720 --> 0:27:04.360 lost Tredavius White early in the season to a torn 0:27:04.400 --> 0:27:07.760 achilles back in Week four, I mean, there's there's multiple 0:27:09.000 --> 0:27:11.840 pieces out of that defense that was so highly vaulted 0:27:11.880 --> 0:27:14.639 it early in the season that it looks like a 0:27:14.680 --> 0:27:17.040 completely different unit. But Nick, whenever you look at this 0:27:17.160 --> 0:27:21.040 defense for the Buffalo Bills, they still have an opportunity, 0:27:21.080 --> 0:27:23.600 They still have talent, and they've been playing better football 0:27:23.640 --> 0:27:26.080 as of late, most notably what they did against Kansas 0:27:26.080 --> 0:27:26.720 City last week. 0:27:26.800 --> 0:27:26.960 Yeah. 0:27:26.960 --> 0:27:29.320 Absolutely, they got guys on all three levels. Still. 0:27:29.600 --> 0:27:32.040 We could start up front on their defensive line at 0:27:32.080 --> 0:27:36.560 Oliver Houston, product from went to the University of Houston 0:27:36.560 --> 0:27:38.919 as well. He's been he's been a guy in their 0:27:38.960 --> 0:27:41.800 defensive interior for the last I guess, gosh, it's probably 0:27:41.840 --> 0:27:44.479 been like four or five seasons now. He's gonna get 0:27:44.520 --> 0:27:47.520 after he's gonna get after the passer. He's gonna force 0:27:47.560 --> 0:27:50.440 some problems in the run game as well. And then 0:27:50.480 --> 0:27:53.040 when they have Von Miller, obviously he's really productive. But 0:27:53.119 --> 0:27:55.119 with what's going on with his legal situation, we'll kind 0:27:55.119 --> 0:27:57.359 of see as that settles out. But they got some 0:27:57.480 --> 0:27:59.359 They got some guys up front that will make things 0:27:59.400 --> 0:28:01.480 difficult for the Dallas Cowboys offensive line. 0:28:01.560 --> 0:28:02.320 In the second level. 0:28:02.359 --> 0:28:04.919 You mentioned Matt Mlano going out, and that's obviously a 0:28:04.960 --> 0:28:06.280 tough injury for them, but they've had a couple of 0:28:06.320 --> 0:28:08.480 guys step up, similar to how the Cowboys have in 0:28:08.520 --> 0:28:10.800 the lineback and corps. You can look at Tyrel Dodson, 0:28:10.840 --> 0:28:14.280 a undrafted undrafted free agent out of Texas A and 0:28:14.400 --> 0:28:16.800 M in the twenty nineteen draft class. He was really 0:28:16.880 --> 0:28:18.640 productive at A and M and it surprised me at 0:28:18.640 --> 0:28:19.960 that time when he went undrafted. 0:28:20.080 --> 0:28:21.600 But he's kind of undersized, so it makes sense. 0:28:21.600 --> 0:28:23.280 But he's he does a really good job of being 0:28:23.280 --> 0:28:25.040 able to cover the middle of the field. You know, 0:28:25.160 --> 0:28:26.720 Dallas loves to run a lot of things across the 0:28:26.720 --> 0:28:27.960 middle of the field. They're gonna have to keep an 0:28:27.960 --> 0:28:30.160 eye on dots and that's gonna be huge for Dak 0:28:30.160 --> 0:28:32.359 Prescott to be able to, you know, see across the 0:28:32.359 --> 0:28:34.840 middle and be able to factor in with that timing. 0:28:35.080 --> 0:28:38.280 And then in the secondary training for Rausseull Douglas during 0:28:38.280 --> 0:28:41.320 this season from from Green Bay, it's paid dividends for them. 0:28:41.480 --> 0:28:42.120 He's been great. 0:28:42.200 --> 0:28:45.480 He's fit in with that secondary almost seamlessly, done a 0:28:45.480 --> 0:28:47.600 great job on the boundary, just taking the best guy 0:28:47.640 --> 0:28:50.400 and being able to do what he can against him. 0:28:50.600 --> 0:28:53.240 And then Jordan Poyer while he did not practice yesterday 0:28:53.280 --> 0:28:55.280 with the next stinger, so that's definitely something to watch 0:28:55.320 --> 0:28:57.600 as the week goes on. Jordan Poyer at the safety 0:28:57.600 --> 0:29:01.120 position also really talented in their secondary. There's gonna be 0:29:01.160 --> 0:29:02.880 problems here, and especially when you factor in the weather 0:29:02.920 --> 0:29:05.120 of the fact that you know this team doesn't play 0:29:05.160 --> 0:29:07.560 up in Buffalo that often. I think this will be 0:29:08.040 --> 0:29:11.520 Dak Prescott's first time going up there. Yeah, so it's 0:29:11.560 --> 0:29:14.320 all gonna be factored in. And we had asked Jerry yesterday, 0:29:14.360 --> 0:29:15.720 It's like, what do you have to prove in Buffalo? 0:29:15.760 --> 0:29:17.360 Tomorrow's like, nothing, We just need to go up there 0:29:17.360 --> 0:29:19.280 and find a way to win. Yeah, that's it. And 0:29:19.600 --> 0:29:21.200 it's as simple as that. And I think it's very 0:29:21.240 --> 0:29:22.840 true as well. If they go up there and win 0:29:22.920 --> 0:29:24.840 three to two, that's an accomplishment. 0:29:25.520 --> 0:29:26.440 I take that. Yeah. 0:29:26.440 --> 0:29:30.040 The Bills ranked top six in scoring defense, takeaways, sacks, 0:29:30.120 --> 0:29:33.200 and quarterback hits in twenty twenty three, So even with 0:29:33.280 --> 0:29:36.560 those pieces unavailable, I mean, they're sixth in points per 0:29:36.560 --> 0:29:39.440 game allowed, They're tied for third in takeaways with twenty three. 0:29:39.760 --> 0:29:42.080 They have forty two sacks, which is tied for third 0:29:42.120 --> 0:29:45.120 in the NFL, and eighty seven quarterback hits, which is fourth. 0:29:45.160 --> 0:29:49.600 So it's impressive the way that they've had to fill in. 0:29:49.800 --> 0:29:52.280 The one thing that whenever I looked at this defense, 0:29:52.320 --> 0:29:54.160 and I watched a little bit of film on them yesterday, 0:29:54.200 --> 0:29:58.160 mostly that Kansas City game, they allow a lot of opportunity, 0:29:58.280 --> 0:30:01.640 especially out of the slot, which in my opinion is 0:30:02.000 --> 0:30:02.720 CD lamb. 0:30:02.760 --> 0:30:05.200 I mean, just circle CD circle. 0:30:05.240 --> 0:30:08.680 The opportunity he has, he's continued to put up massive numbers. 0:30:08.920 --> 0:30:12.520 They've allowed eight passing touchdowns in a one hundred and 0:30:12.560 --> 0:30:15.600 five passer rating versus the slot according to Next Gen 0:30:15.640 --> 0:30:18.080 Stats this year. That's the fourth most in the league 0:30:18.160 --> 0:30:20.360 in terms of passing touchdowns out of the slot and 0:30:20.400 --> 0:30:22.960 the fourth highest passer rating out of the slot this year. 0:30:23.000 --> 0:30:25.840 So whenever I'm looking at a match up here, in 0:30:25.880 --> 0:30:27.760 the way that they play, they play a lot of nickel. 0:30:27.800 --> 0:30:30.480 They don't play a whole lot of bass. If they're 0:30:30.480 --> 0:30:32.400 playing that nickel they're playing out of the slot, they're 0:30:32.400 --> 0:30:34.840 not very good there. And I think the Cowboys, especially 0:30:34.840 --> 0:30:36.760 if they don't have the safety help from Jordan Poyer 0:30:36.800 --> 0:30:40.840 over the top, that's an opportunity for a big day 0:30:40.920 --> 0:30:43.000 for eighty eight and what he can continue to build. 0:30:43.200 --> 0:30:45.560 Yeah, it's not only eighty eight. That's the That's the 0:30:46.400 --> 0:30:48.480 good thing about this for cdo it could be three 0:30:49.120 --> 0:30:51.400 to say that anybody in the receiving corn can play 0:30:51.400 --> 0:30:53.480 out of the slots, exeph Michael Gallup. I feel like 0:30:53.480 --> 0:30:54.960 Michael galas the only one to get really put in 0:30:55.000 --> 0:30:57.000 the slot and he can be just as effective. But 0:30:57.280 --> 0:30:59.280 you look at Brandon Cooks, you look at Cavante Turpin, 0:30:59.320 --> 0:31:01.920 you look at CD. I am obviously Jalen Tolbert even 0:31:01.960 --> 0:31:03.600 as well has had some success out of the SAT 0:31:03.600 --> 0:31:04.000 this year. 0:31:04.120 --> 0:31:05.240 All those guys could do some things. 0:31:05.240 --> 0:31:07.280 And even Jake Ferguson, he's been lining up in the slot, 0:31:07.320 --> 0:31:09.200 lining up out wide more as the season goes on. 0:31:09.320 --> 0:31:11.600 So yeah, look for all those guys to get involved 0:31:11.600 --> 0:31:14.200 in my opinion, but CD, that's definitely suspect number one. 0:31:14.440 --> 0:31:16.040 Yeah, when I look at this team, I look at 0:31:16.080 --> 0:31:18.560 a team that you could possibly run on. I know 0:31:18.640 --> 0:31:21.640 that the Chiefs really didn't have a big day there. 0:31:21.720 --> 0:31:24.440 This is a rushing defense. I give up one fourteen 0:31:24.480 --> 0:31:27.200 a game, one fifteen somewhere in that in that neighborhood. 0:31:27.440 --> 0:31:29.160 And one of the other reasons I'm bringing it up 0:31:29.200 --> 0:31:32.440 is just because of what I saw against the Eagles, 0:31:32.480 --> 0:31:35.000 who were a run defense that shut down the Cowboys 0:31:35.040 --> 0:31:37.720 earlier in the season, and I just saw a little 0:31:37.720 --> 0:31:39.880 bit of momentum coming from the Cowboys offense there in 0:31:39.920 --> 0:31:42.360 the run game in there, both Pollard and out all. 0:31:42.400 --> 0:31:45.000 So I'm interested to see how that carries over, especially 0:31:45.080 --> 0:31:47.360 because there is just a small part of me that 0:31:47.520 --> 0:31:50.000 is just still like I understand I can read a 0:31:50.040 --> 0:31:51.959 weather report, but there's a part of me just like 0:31:52.360 --> 0:31:54.400 there's always a chance when you get there that it's like, yeah, 0:31:54.440 --> 0:31:56.120 it's not as it's not as good at whether it 0:31:56.200 --> 0:31:59.160 be wind whatever, that maybe it might lean a little 0:31:59.160 --> 0:32:02.720 bit more to the running game. So that's the one 0:32:02.720 --> 0:32:04.320 thing I think of when I think of looking at 0:32:04.360 --> 0:32:08.280 this defense. Everything is though, and just to be completely honest, 0:32:08.280 --> 0:32:09.200 and I think I might have said it on the 0:32:09.240 --> 0:32:11.080 show earlier this week, like I picked the Bills to 0:32:11.120 --> 0:32:13.160 win the Super Bowl. I still think this is a 0:32:13.200 --> 0:32:15.360 really good team. You know, you look at seven and 0:32:15.400 --> 0:32:16.720 six next to their name, and I think a lot 0:32:16.760 --> 0:32:18.880 of people would be like, oh, this team isn't very good. 0:32:19.120 --> 0:32:21.440 But if you break down and just look at their 0:32:22.200 --> 0:32:25.800 schedule this year and what they've done, there's nobody like 0:32:25.920 --> 0:32:27.000 handily beating them. 0:32:27.200 --> 0:32:28.640 Like there's not one game. 0:32:28.680 --> 0:32:31.520 Every single one of their losses have been by a 0:32:31.560 --> 0:32:34.760 single possession, right, six points to the Jets, five points 0:32:34.840 --> 0:32:37.000 to the Jags, four points to the Patriots. That's a 0:32:37.000 --> 0:32:39.720 bad loss, but four points to the Patriots, six points 0:32:39.720 --> 0:32:42.480 to the Bengals, two points to the Broncos in a 0:32:42.520 --> 0:32:44.960 wild ending that they should have won, and then they 0:32:44.960 --> 0:32:46.760 had two many men on the field and then they had 0:32:46.800 --> 0:32:49.479 the rekick, and then the Eagles beat them by three. 0:32:49.680 --> 0:32:50.080 That's it. 0:32:50.840 --> 0:32:53.640 All of them have been less not even a touchdown 0:32:53.720 --> 0:32:56.080 that they haven't lost by more than six points. 0:32:56.600 --> 0:32:58.560 Yeah, And I look at like some of their losses, 0:32:58.560 --> 0:32:59.880 even like the two in overtime. 0:33:00.040 --> 0:33:01.800 Look at that one against Philly. 0:33:01.840 --> 0:33:04.680 Where it took that wild kick right before he had 0:33:04.680 --> 0:33:08.760 to force even get to that point. And Josh Allen, 0:33:08.840 --> 0:33:11.280 to me, is somebody that I would be concerned for 0:33:11.520 --> 0:33:13.720 in a big game, and this will be a big 0:33:13.760 --> 0:33:15.720 game to him and the way he plays at home. 0:33:16.120 --> 0:33:18.160 So there's just parts of it where I look at this. 0:33:18.280 --> 0:33:21.080 I look at the whole thing, with the defense obviously included, 0:33:21.280 --> 0:33:23.040 and I'm just like, this is not a game that 0:33:23.120 --> 0:33:24.840 anybody can sleep on it. I thought it was interesting 0:33:24.880 --> 0:33:26.680 how Jerry said at the end of that answer when 0:33:26.720 --> 0:33:29.680 he was asked about Buffalo, how he said it's comparable 0:33:29.760 --> 0:33:33.600 to the challenge of beating the Eagles the week before. 0:33:33.720 --> 0:33:35.480 And I think that there's some people that might listen 0:33:35.480 --> 0:33:37.920 to that and go, yeah, this is just Jerry trying 0:33:37.920 --> 0:33:40.400 to play it up. Remember he said before the Eagles game, 0:33:40.440 --> 0:33:43.200 there was nervous, nervous, nervous on that Friday interview right before. 0:33:43.280 --> 0:33:45.560 So I did take a herculean effort to be able 0:33:45.560 --> 0:33:48.400 to beat them. But I agree with Jerry in there. 0:33:48.440 --> 0:33:50.600 He said, in terms of quality of the team and 0:33:50.640 --> 0:33:52.520 being on the road, about the same kind of chips 0:33:52.520 --> 0:33:54.960 are on the line in this game, And so you know. 0:33:55.040 --> 0:33:55.680 I agree. 0:33:56.600 --> 0:33:58.440 And I say the whole thing about me having them 0:33:58.440 --> 0:34:01.280 as a Super Bowl pick, because I understand some people 0:34:01.360 --> 0:34:02.720 may think, well, you're just overrating them. 0:34:03.440 --> 0:34:05.080 I think this is a very good Bills team. 0:34:05.120 --> 0:34:07.680 Seriously, Like still, I don't look at that record and go, yeah, 0:34:07.720 --> 0:34:10.479 this is just like a seven and six NFC team. 0:34:10.520 --> 0:34:14.879 You know, if anything they've played, they've played down the competition. Yeah, 0:34:14.880 --> 0:34:18.320 because they've lost to the Jets, the Patriots, the Broncos, whenever. 0:34:18.320 --> 0:34:22.720 The Broncos hadn't necessarily figured things out yet, they hadn't 0:34:22.760 --> 0:34:27.560 played well against the lower teams in the division. I 0:34:27.560 --> 0:34:29.359 mean they beat the Dolphins by twenty eight. 0:34:30.280 --> 0:34:32.640 I mean that was at home in October. 0:34:33.400 --> 0:34:39.080 They've beaten teams like the Kansas City Chiefs. Now, don't 0:34:39.120 --> 0:34:41.239 look at the record. They're five and two at home. 0:34:41.280 --> 0:34:42.640 If you want to look at a record, there's one. 0:34:43.000 --> 0:34:45.920 They're five and two at home. There's seven and six overall, all, 0:34:45.920 --> 0:34:49.400 six of those losses within six points. It's I would 0:34:49.520 --> 0:34:52.799 argue that this is a tougher matchup for the Cowboys, 0:34:52.960 --> 0:34:56.120 given the circumstances of being on the road, being in December, 0:34:56.440 --> 0:35:01.360 having you had the home field advantage, the fourteen straight 0:35:01.400 --> 0:35:04.240 home wins to rely on at AT and T Stadium 0:35:04.239 --> 0:35:06.000 against the Eagles, you don't have that anymore. 0:35:06.200 --> 0:35:08.879 You're going up to Buffalo. They are hungry for a win. 0:35:08.960 --> 0:35:11.560 They're still desperate down the stretch to try and work 0:35:11.600 --> 0:35:14.839 back in the playoff positioning. So with their final four 0:35:14.960 --> 0:35:17.480 schedule or four games on the schedule, they got the Cowboys, 0:35:17.480 --> 0:35:20.239 the Chargers, Patriots, Dolphins, so it's not easy for them either. 0:35:21.040 --> 0:35:23.400 This is this is not going to be an easy matchup. 0:35:23.680 --> 0:35:24.799 Yeah, absolutely not. 0:35:24.920 --> 0:35:27.640 And there's so many factors that play into this. And 0:35:27.719 --> 0:35:30.000 I don't want to preview our little pick them. 0:35:29.920 --> 0:35:31.359 Tomorrow, but I don't. 0:35:31.440 --> 0:35:34.200 I don't feel great about this this game from a 0:35:34.200 --> 0:35:36.879 Cowboys perspective, just and it's I don't think it would 0:35:36.880 --> 0:35:38.279 be a bad thing if they go in there and lose. 0:35:38.280 --> 0:35:39.440 I don't think it's the end of the world. 0:35:39.719 --> 0:35:42.399 But you need this win absolutely because there's a lot 0:35:42.400 --> 0:35:43.839 on the line in the division, in the conference. When 0:35:43.880 --> 0:35:47.600 it get that exactly exactly, and since you beat Philly 0:35:47.640 --> 0:35:50.800 last week, there's a door that's open, especially if Philly 0:35:50.880 --> 0:35:52.759 is able to drop a game in these last four weeks. 0:35:52.760 --> 0:35:55.319 There's a lot on the line. But man, this is good. 0:35:55.360 --> 0:35:56.759 I think this is their toughest test the rest of 0:35:56.800 --> 0:35:58.800 the way, going to Buffalo and playing. 0:35:58.600 --> 0:36:00.560 In those elements. This is the tough game that they'll 0:36:00.560 --> 0:36:01.399 see last four weeks. 0:36:01.480 --> 0:36:01.640 Yeah. 0:36:01.680 --> 0:36:03.320 I kind of feel like it's almost like that Seattle 0:36:03.360 --> 0:36:05.560 game too, where it's like the team is better than 0:36:05.560 --> 0:36:07.520 what their record says it is, and then you play 0:36:07.520 --> 0:36:09.920 the Cowboys, you're gonna usually get that team's best shot. 0:36:10.200 --> 0:36:11.600 I anticipate that happening here. 0:36:11.840 --> 0:36:14.360 We've talked before about how good Mike McCarthy's teams have 0:36:14.400 --> 0:36:17.399 been in December. He's got two December losses since he's 0:36:17.400 --> 0:36:20.319 become the Cowboys head coach on the road. One was 0:36:20.360 --> 0:36:22.880 in his first year, the COVID year twenty twenty they 0:36:22.920 --> 0:36:28.720 lost at Baltimore, and then last year against Jacksonville. Obviously 0:36:28.719 --> 0:36:30.560 that was a game that the Cowboys probably should have won. 0:36:30.600 --> 0:36:32.239 Now they did lose it to Washington at the end 0:36:32.239 --> 0:36:33.840 of the year that was technically in January. 0:36:33.960 --> 0:36:35.960 Yeah, but they have performed well. 0:36:35.680 --> 0:36:38.799 Even even in some times when maybe you didn't think 0:36:38.800 --> 0:36:40.839 that they would win the game in December on the road, 0:36:40.960 --> 0:36:43.160 So maybe you got to factor that in a little 0:36:43.160 --> 0:36:45.160 bit too. Mike McCarthy's done a great job having this 0:36:45.200 --> 0:36:48.479 team prepared. As this season has gone along, you can see, 0:36:48.760 --> 0:36:51.799 like multiple years of covering Mike McCarthy teams, what he's 0:36:51.800 --> 0:36:53.800 trying to do that the build up to towards the 0:36:53.840 --> 0:36:55.640 end of the season be playing your best football. I 0:36:55.680 --> 0:36:58.239 expect both these teams to play well, but to me, 0:36:58.320 --> 0:37:00.319 it's almost a coin flip on who's going to end 0:37:00.360 --> 0:37:01.000 up winning this game. 0:37:01.120 --> 0:37:03.799 With all of that, all of those factors in the 0:37:03.800 --> 0:37:05.640 way that this offense has been playing the way Dak 0:37:05.680 --> 0:37:08.120 Prescott's been playing. Do you expect this to be a 0:37:08.239 --> 0:37:11.319 high scoring affair a shootout or do you expect this 0:37:11.400 --> 0:37:15.240 to be more of a defensive Juggernaud slugfest back and forth. 0:37:15.320 --> 0:37:17.880 So for a shootout, for me, I would think that 0:37:17.960 --> 0:37:20.560 both teams need to be in the thirties or above sure, 0:37:20.560 --> 0:37:21.600 and I don't see that happen. 0:37:21.680 --> 0:37:23.120 I think this is a low twenties game. 0:37:23.239 --> 0:37:23.640 Interesting. 0:37:24.520 --> 0:37:27.200 I just think that the Bills are going to play 0:37:27.200 --> 0:37:29.399 a lot better than they normally do and at home, 0:37:29.440 --> 0:37:31.239 and I think that that's good. There's just a part 0:37:31.239 --> 0:37:32.759 of me with the Cowboys too. I just want to 0:37:32.800 --> 0:37:35.400 see them play in a tough road environment like that 0:37:35.560 --> 0:37:38.560 and play well like we've seen them play at home, 0:37:38.600 --> 0:37:40.759 where you can potentially blow out a team. They're not 0:37:40.760 --> 0:37:42.520 going to blow out this Bills team. But I just 0:37:42.560 --> 0:37:45.440 don't see them scoring in the thirties in this game. 0:37:45.520 --> 0:37:47.160 I'm not saying that that doesn't mean they can't win 0:37:47.239 --> 0:37:50.040 if they do. I like the Cowboys chances, but I 0:37:50.120 --> 0:37:51.520 just think this is a low twenties game. 0:37:51.719 --> 0:37:52.080 Interesting. 0:37:52.200 --> 0:37:53.440 That's the same point about December. 0:37:53.480 --> 0:37:55.480 Mike McCarthy twelve and two in the month of December 0:37:55.480 --> 0:37:57.920 since taking over thirty three points six points per game 0:37:57.960 --> 0:37:58.239 on the. 0:37:58.160 --> 0:38:01.719 Offensive side of the ball. It's easily best month offensively. 0:38:02.400 --> 0:38:04.360 Obviously, this is his first year's play caller, but he 0:38:04.360 --> 0:38:06.160 has a lot of say in that really quick. I 0:38:06.480 --> 0:38:09.160 hope this is a game like Vikings and Bills last year, 0:38:09.160 --> 0:38:11.239 which is kind of around the same time at the 0:38:11.239 --> 0:38:13.080 time of the year. Best game of the year last 0:38:13.160 --> 0:38:15.800 year in my opinion thirty three thirty Vikings won and overtime. 0:38:15.920 --> 0:38:18.839 Justin Jefferson had that wild fourth down catch to keep 0:38:18.880 --> 0:38:21.440 them keep them in that game. So maybe maybe we 0:38:21.520 --> 0:38:24.080 have some fun up in Buffalo on Sunday, John Mishoda. 0:38:23.880 --> 0:38:26.520 That was man, that was wild thinking about that was 0:38:26.520 --> 0:38:27.680 the best game last year? 0:38:27.800 --> 0:38:31.400 The whole was it the Cousins fumble on the goal line. 0:38:31.160 --> 0:38:33.759 So it was they had gone for it on fourth 0:38:33.800 --> 0:38:36.200 and goal after they justin they didn't get it. That's 0:38:36.200 --> 0:38:38.920 the nineteen They got the crazy one handed catch to 0:38:38.960 --> 0:38:41.480 move down the field. Yeah, and then they yeah, they 0:38:41.600 --> 0:38:43.960 get stopped at the one yard line and then they 0:38:44.200 --> 0:38:45.839 Josh Allen and they just have to kneel it out 0:38:45.880 --> 0:38:47.560 or just like get a couple of yards and they're 0:38:47.560 --> 0:38:50.200 done and Josh Allen fumbles the stat Vikings laying on 0:38:50.239 --> 0:38:51.600 top of it in the end zone. Tie the game 0:38:51.840 --> 0:38:54.400 go to overtime, and then they went it in overtime. Yeah. 0:38:54.480 --> 0:38:55.880 Crazy game though, that one was. 0:38:56.239 --> 0:38:56.680 It was right. 0:38:56.760 --> 0:38:59.000 It was leading up into the Cowboys game that day. 0:38:59.080 --> 0:39:02.200 That was the game fourhand on Fox. And I remember 0:39:02.239 --> 0:39:04.520 being in the studio with Barry, Isaiah and Nate and 0:39:04.560 --> 0:39:07.040 we we usually have red zone up right before we're 0:39:07.040 --> 0:39:10.680 going live, and uh, actually I think we were in 0:39:10.719 --> 0:39:12.640 the middle of the show because it was leading up 0:39:12.680 --> 0:39:15.400 into it. But we were in the studio. We were 0:39:15.440 --> 0:39:17.640 watching the end of the game, and we were in 0:39:17.680 --> 0:39:20.400 the middle of our pregame show and we were in 0:39:20.440 --> 0:39:23.279 like a small ninety second break and that's when the 0:39:23.320 --> 0:39:25.480 fumble happened and they recovered it, and we like went 0:39:25.560 --> 0:39:26.680 nuts for a little bit, and then we had to 0:39:26.719 --> 0:39:28.719 like comb the hair back and then get ready to 0:39:28.760 --> 0:39:29.200 be like all. 0:39:29.160 --> 0:39:30.800 Right, welcome back in the pregame live. 0:39:30.680 --> 0:39:33.840 And then get get into TV Boys from there. But really, 0:39:33.920 --> 0:39:35.759 uh yeah, I was there for a game like that. 0:39:35.760 --> 0:39:37.719 I'm pretty sure there was a lot of reason to 0:39:38.840 --> 0:39:41.080 have an interest in that from a Cowboys perspective, because 0:39:41.080 --> 0:39:42.400 weren't the Cowboys playing. 0:39:43.000 --> 0:39:44.520 Maybe I'm wrong on this, they. 0:39:44.480 --> 0:39:46.360 Were trying to seating. Maybe I thought the. 0:39:46.360 --> 0:39:48.359 Cowboys played the Vikings the following week? Am I wrong 0:39:48.400 --> 0:39:49.040 on that? 0:39:49.200 --> 0:39:51.359 You know you're right because right, yeah, you're right, right, 0:39:51.719 --> 0:39:54.960 because the they were undefeated when the Cowboys play, or 0:39:55.040 --> 0:39:56.680 one loss, whatever, the Cowboys. 0:39:56.600 --> 0:39:58.719 Thinking about it. This is exactly what I'm thinking about it. 0:39:58.960 --> 0:40:04.000 So you mentioned earlier the quarterback the documentary. Yeah, I'm 0:40:04.040 --> 0:40:06.239 watching that thing building up to them, like I can't 0:40:06.239 --> 0:40:07.840 wait to see the behind the scenes of the Cowboys 0:40:07.880 --> 0:40:11.200 game because the Cowboys just dominated them and they were 0:40:11.200 --> 0:40:13.200 such a good team, and they glossed over that. They 0:40:13.239 --> 0:40:14.920 spent a lot of time on the Bills game, and 0:40:14.920 --> 0:40:16.880 then they just kind of was like real fast as the. 0:40:16.880 --> 0:40:18.840 Whole episode on the Bills game, and then it was 0:40:18.880 --> 0:40:21.160 like the beginning of the next episode where they got 0:40:21.480 --> 0:40:22.759 back to forty to three. 0:40:22.880 --> 0:40:24.799 Yeah, I just remember after the Cowboys won that game 0:40:24.800 --> 0:40:26.360 the following week, there was like a lot of moving 0:40:26.400 --> 0:40:28.680 of goalposts on the whole like, well. 0:40:28.360 --> 0:40:29.600 Minnesota really isn't that good. 0:40:29.600 --> 0:40:32.160 I'm just like, they just beat the Bills in Buffalo 0:40:32.239 --> 0:40:34.160 and they had a crazy good record at that time. 0:40:34.200 --> 0:40:35.000 I don't remember what it was. 0:40:35.080 --> 0:40:37.439 It was eight and two, well after Cowboys beat because 0:40:37.440 --> 0:40:39.240 they were eight and one. Whenever they beat him, I believe, 0:40:40.560 --> 0:40:42.560 give or take a couple of wins. But yeah, it 0:40:42.600 --> 0:40:45.440 was a really really good record. Moving the goal posts 0:40:45.480 --> 0:40:47.839 against the team that the Cowboys beat. 0:40:47.920 --> 0:40:48.400 That happened. 0:40:48.400 --> 0:40:48.880 Couldn't be. 0:40:49.080 --> 0:40:50.319 That happens, could not be. 0:40:50.760 --> 0:40:53.000 All right, when we come back, I'm not moving any 0:40:53.000 --> 0:40:55.719 goal posts. I'm telling you why. If Dak Prescott keeps 0:40:55.719 --> 0:40:57.880 playing like this, he will be the MVP of the 0:40:58.000 --> 0:41:00.280 NFL right after this with more talking cowboy Boys. 0:41:01.360 --> 0:41:05.320 They say champions are remembered, but legends are never forgotten. 0:41:05.640 --> 0:41:08.719 United Agon Turf offers a winning lineup of John Deere 0:41:08.719 --> 0:41:12.360 equipment built to tackle any challenge on and off the field. 0:41:12.600 --> 0:41:17.520 Legendary John Deere Tractors combines residential mowers, commercial mowers, compact 0:41:17.560 --> 0:41:21.120 construction equipment, cater utility vehicles, and a full line of 0:41:21.160 --> 0:41:24.920 golf and sports turf equipment.

This segment 0:43:08.320 --> 0:43:10.400 of the show is brought to you by in Visi Line, 0:43:10.440 --> 0:43:14.520 the official smile of the Dallas Cowboys. All Right, I 0:43:14.600 --> 0:43:18.200 mentioned it going into the break. If Dak Prescott continues 0:43:18.239 --> 0:43:21.280 playing like he has been, he will be the MVP 0:43:21.440 --> 0:43:24.319 of the NFL. And I know that's probably not like 0:43:24.360 --> 0:43:27.439 a crazy out there going out on a limb take, 0:43:27.920 --> 0:43:29.840 but I have some stats to back it up. So 0:43:31.239 --> 0:43:34.440 Dak is on pace to be the eleventh player to 0:43:34.600 --> 0:43:39.680 lead the NFL in passing touchdowns and touchdown to interception 0:43:39.880 --> 0:43:43.560 ratio in the same season. Out of the previous ten 0:43:43.640 --> 0:43:45.920 players that did that, nine of. 0:43:45.880 --> 0:43:46.640 Them won the MVP. 0:43:47.160 --> 0:43:48.040 Who's the one, dude? 0:43:48.440 --> 0:43:50.480 One is Tom Brady in twenty fifteen. 0:43:50.560 --> 0:43:51.319 Oh, I've heard of him. 0:43:51.400 --> 0:43:54.440 Yeah, he was pretty good. Here are the guys twenty twenty. 0:43:54.600 --> 0:43:59.040 Aaron Rodgers won the MVP twenty fifteen. Tom Brady did 0:43:59.040 --> 0:44:01.520 not win the MVP twenty fifteen. Can anybody tell me 0:44:01.520 --> 0:44:05.160 who won the MVP twenty fifteen before that, Tom Brady 0:44:05.160 --> 0:44:08.880 twenty ten, Yes, Tom Brady twenty or two thousand and seven, Yes, 0:44:09.239 --> 0:44:11.320 Cam Newton, Cam Newton won in twenty fifteen. 0:44:11.920 --> 0:44:14.080 I don't want to talk about Cam Newton on these airwaves. 0:44:14.200 --> 0:44:15.759 Peyton Manning two thousand and four. 0:44:15.920 --> 0:44:19.480 Yes, he wonted, Kurt Warner ninety nine, YEP, Brett Favre 0:44:19.719 --> 0:44:24.200 ninety six, YEP, Steve Young in ninety four at ninety two, absolutely, 0:44:24.440 --> 0:44:27.480 and then John Brody in nineteen seventy, and he did 0:44:27.520 --> 0:44:28.920 win it in nineteen seventy. 0:44:29.040 --> 0:44:30.359 I just think it's gonna be hard for him if 0:44:30.360 --> 0:44:32.560 they don't win the division. I feel like that. 0:44:32.640 --> 0:44:35.680 Even if he continues to play lights out and they 0:44:35.880 --> 0:44:37.800 just barely missed the division. 0:44:37.920 --> 0:44:39.560 Yeah, I just feel like it's become one of those 0:44:39.600 --> 0:44:43.000 awards that it goes to the quarterback of the top team, 0:44:43.080 --> 0:44:44.759 top ten. I think it'll come down if they don't 0:44:44.760 --> 0:44:46.600 win the division. I think comes down to Hurtzin party 0:44:48.040 --> 0:44:48.600 for MVP. 0:44:49.719 --> 0:44:52.359 If the season ended right now, would you vote and 0:44:52.400 --> 0:44:53.719 you had an MVP Dack? 0:44:53.760 --> 0:44:54.520 It would it be Dack? 0:44:54.600 --> 0:44:55.120 Absolutely? 0:44:55.120 --> 0:44:56.120 I think it'd be mine. 0:44:56.239 --> 0:44:57.880 In a heartbeat, It'd be Dak for me. 0:44:58.080 --> 0:45:00.440 How much of an impact has he made on this 0:45:00.560 --> 0:45:03.640 team this year? I mean we've talked about Mike McCarthy 0:45:03.800 --> 0:45:07.080 evolving as a play caller, and certainly this is, in 0:45:07.080 --> 0:45:09.520 my opinion, the best Mike McCarthy coaching job that he's 0:45:09.520 --> 0:45:11.799 done in his four seasons in Dallas, and it's not 0:45:11.840 --> 0:45:17.120 even close. But the way that Dak has helped elevate 0:45:17.160 --> 0:45:18.920 that and helped expedite. 0:45:18.480 --> 0:45:20.640 That process, I mean, how much credit does he deserve 0:45:20.680 --> 0:45:21.080 on that one? 0:45:21.160 --> 0:45:23.440 I mean, you want to look at Dak's impact, look 0:45:23.480 --> 0:45:26.120 at when he's been playing poorly and how poorly the 0:45:26.239 --> 0:45:28.759 entire offense plays, and then you look at when he's 0:45:28.760 --> 0:45:31.480 playing well and how well the entire offense plays. So 0:45:31.520 --> 0:45:34.200 you could point on the bad side on in the 0:45:34.200 --> 0:45:37.440 San Francisco game, ten points of production, those three interceptions 0:45:37.480 --> 0:45:40.200 in the second half just they needcapped any sort of 0:45:40.560 --> 0:45:43.560 momentum in that second half and thirty two point blowout, obviously, 0:45:43.600 --> 0:45:44.520 that speaks for itself. 0:45:44.680 --> 0:45:46.560 Then you look at the good side. 0:45:46.280 --> 0:45:49.200 Of that, and he's playing on an MVP caliber level. 0:45:49.280 --> 0:45:52.520 He's only thrown two interceptions since that game. He's thrown 0:45:52.560 --> 0:45:55.160 for what twenty six touchdowns since that game, and he's 0:45:55.400 --> 0:45:58.000 got the number one scoring offense and everybody's getting involved 0:45:58.000 --> 0:45:59.880 Ceede Lambs a number two receiver in the NFL. So 0:46:01.239 --> 0:46:03.840 it's if you want to see how big his impact is, 0:46:03.840 --> 0:46:05.960 look at everybody else and what's going on with that 0:46:06.320 --> 0:46:08.920 and the way he's been playing since that loss to 0:46:08.920 --> 0:46:10.640 San Francisco, and you look at the numbers and you 0:46:10.680 --> 0:46:14.239 stacked him up with the success that Dallas has had overall. Yeah, 0:46:14.400 --> 0:46:16.239 I feel like he's MVP so far this season, and 0:46:16.239 --> 0:46:18.080 I feel like he can really punctuate that with a 0:46:18.080 --> 0:46:19.480 couple of big wins down the stretches. 0:46:19.520 --> 0:46:22.000 Well, since there's nothing there that I can disagree with, 0:46:22.040 --> 0:46:23.640 and I think you did a great job of summing 0:46:23.719 --> 0:46:24.640 up all parts of it. 0:46:24.680 --> 0:46:25.919 I just want to throw this in it real quick. 0:46:26.239 --> 0:46:28.000 So my full time job is I work at the 0:46:28.040 --> 0:46:30.480 Athletic and one of our NFL writers is Mike Sando, 0:46:30.600 --> 0:46:32.480 And before the season starts and then during the season 0:46:32.560 --> 0:46:34.319 he does a thing called QB Tiers where he reaches 0:46:34.360 --> 0:46:36.600 out to people throughout the league. And so he just 0:46:36.640 --> 0:46:40.600 released his QB Tiers today for the end season one and. 0:46:40.520 --> 0:46:42.959 DAK, so he does a preseason and right cool. 0:46:42.960 --> 0:46:45.680 And so the DAK was in the second tier, which 0:46:45.680 --> 0:46:49.520 he has been in the past. So there's there In 0:46:49.600 --> 0:46:53.440 the number one tier, there are five quarterbacks. It's Patrick Mahomes, 0:46:53.480 --> 0:46:57.319 Joe Burrow, Josh Allen, Aaron Rodgers, and Justin Herbert. In 0:46:57.480 --> 0:47:00.920 the next tier down is Jalen Hert, It's Lamar Jackson, 0:47:00.960 --> 0:47:04.840 Trevor Lawrence, then Dak Stafford Watson, Deshaun Watson, Kirk Cousins. 0:47:04.880 --> 0:47:06.520 The reason I'm bringing it up because this is one 0:47:06.560 --> 0:47:09.239 of the most interesting the parts about it is that 0:47:09.320 --> 0:47:12.040 he has sources that he's not just doing this on 0:47:12.080 --> 0:47:14.400 his own. This is all from talking to people in 0:47:14.440 --> 0:47:17.000 the NFL, whether it be GM, scouts, whatever, and then 0:47:17.040 --> 0:47:18.600 he puts together the voting and this is how he 0:47:18.640 --> 0:47:20.720 comes about it, but he also gets quotes from some people. 0:47:20.800 --> 0:47:23.600 So one voter told him, I feel Dak needs to 0:47:23.600 --> 0:47:25.960 finish the season to show what he really is. When 0:47:26.000 --> 0:47:27.960 you play the Arizona Cardinals and their game plan is 0:47:28.000 --> 0:47:30.399 to make Dak beat them, and he can't beat them, 0:47:30.560 --> 0:47:31.680 you are not Tier one. 0:47:31.840 --> 0:47:32.120 Now. 0:47:32.200 --> 0:47:35.239 Everyone has bad games, but I feel like that that 0:47:35.360 --> 0:47:38.399 is Dallas in general blowing people out getting killed by 0:47:38.400 --> 0:47:41.480 San Francisco. One other person, another voter on the thing, 0:47:41.600 --> 0:47:44.919 said they do good stuff on offense. They have enough 0:47:44.960 --> 0:47:47.839 weapons and Dak can execute. When they play the really 0:47:47.880 --> 0:47:50.799 good teams and the pressure gets on him, it can 0:47:50.800 --> 0:47:53.480 get hit or miss. I want to see Dak do 0:47:53.560 --> 0:47:54.400 it when it matters. 0:47:54.719 --> 0:47:57.120 Yeah. I think it's very valid too. It's valid criticism 0:47:57.160 --> 0:47:59.279 because part of that is valid. Part of it. I 0:47:59.280 --> 0:48:00.680 think it's valid as finishing. 0:48:01.200 --> 0:48:03.880 It's the one thing that has been the notch in 0:48:04.040 --> 0:48:06.200 Dak Prescott's armor so far in his career is that 0:48:06.239 --> 0:48:08.000 the fact that he can't get past the divisional round. 0:48:08.120 --> 0:48:09.520 So until he could do that, I don't think he 0:48:09.560 --> 0:48:10.479 can be in Tier one either. 0:48:10.560 --> 0:48:11.440 That's that's I think. 0:48:11.480 --> 0:48:13.479 Can you name the five quarterbacks again? 0:48:14.080 --> 0:48:15.920 One I'll say this Justin Herbert does not belong in 0:48:15.960 --> 0:48:16.239 Tier one. 0:48:16.320 --> 0:48:20.000 Yeah, yeah, because Justin Herbert hasn't finished anything. Josh Allen 0:48:20.040 --> 0:48:22.440 hasn't gone to a super Bowl, so let's not crown. 0:48:22.280 --> 0:48:24.280 Him only championship the only thing I could say. 0:48:24.200 --> 0:48:25.359 He's gone to a championship game. 0:48:25.400 --> 0:48:28.600 Again, this isn't like just talking to media members. These 0:48:28.640 --> 0:48:30.480 are people in the NFL. So there's a part of 0:48:30.480 --> 0:48:32.279 me that thinks that I could see people in the 0:48:32.320 --> 0:48:36.200 NFL thinking that Herbert's in a bad situation and that he's. 0:48:36.080 --> 0:48:37.680 Better than QUARTERBA. 0:48:37.719 --> 0:48:39.879 But but I also can because also I would say 0:48:40.000 --> 0:48:42.160 if Dak was the lead in the Super Bowl the 0:48:42.200 --> 0:48:45.120 next year, when QB tiars comes out, he would be 0:48:45.160 --> 0:48:47.120 in that Tier one group. But the top one, it's 0:48:47.160 --> 0:48:50.520 Patrick Mahomes one, Burrow two, got it, Josh Allen three, 0:48:50.960 --> 0:48:52.200 and then Rogers. 0:48:51.800 --> 0:48:55.560 And Herbert Rogers. I mean, that's kind of a we 0:48:55.680 --> 0:48:58.000 haven't given this. Yeah, it's just not a twenty twenty 0:48:58.000 --> 0:48:58.399 three thing. 0:48:58.680 --> 0:48:59.920 I have no issue with the top three. By the 0:49:00.280 --> 0:49:03.319 I'm fine with Mahomes, Burrow, and Allen, even as bad 0:49:03.360 --> 0:49:05.440 as Allen's been this year. If you're telling me I 0:49:05.440 --> 0:49:07.759 got to start a team right now, I got the 0:49:07.800 --> 0:49:09.840 third pick, and he's there. He's probably who I'm taking. 0:49:09.880 --> 0:49:10.839 I agree with you. 0:49:10.920 --> 0:49:12.960 In twenty seven years old, he's gonna be playing at 0:49:13.000 --> 0:49:14.680 a high level, I believe for a decade plus. 0:49:14.719 --> 0:49:16.680 I'm a Josh Allen fan. I've always liked him. I 0:49:16.719 --> 0:49:18.359 liked him coming out of the draft, I liked him 0:49:18.360 --> 0:49:22.760 in Wyoming. I've always been impressed with him. But based 0:49:22.760 --> 0:49:26.080 off of the reasoning from that one quote, specifically, when 0:49:26.080 --> 0:49:28.239 he's saying, teams game plan to stop him, and you 0:49:28.239 --> 0:49:30.400 can't beat him, and you lose to these good teams, 0:49:30.440 --> 0:49:33.120 you lose to these bad teams, and I mean, whenever 0:49:33.160 --> 0:49:35.400 you don't play well, the offense doesn't play well, that 0:49:35.840 --> 0:49:39.319 sort of thing, I think that reasoning would knock Josh 0:49:39.360 --> 0:49:41.439 Allen from that tier one as well. I mean, look 0:49:41.440 --> 0:49:44.000 at the Bills record. When Josh Allen has a giveaway 0:49:44.040 --> 0:49:45.920 when he takes care of the football in the fifteen 0:49:45.960 --> 0:49:48.800 games where he has not had a turnover, they're fifteen 0:49:48.840 --> 0:49:51.480 to zero. They have never lost whenever Josh Allen has 0:49:51.560 --> 0:49:52.440 zero giveaways. 0:49:53.040 --> 0:49:54.440 In the thirty games where he has. 0:49:54.320 --> 0:49:57.360 Only one giveaway, Josh Allen is twenty one and nine, 0:49:57.400 --> 0:50:00.560 so a much better record than you could have had. 0:50:00.600 --> 0:50:03.399 But whenever he has more than two giveaways in those 0:50:03.400 --> 0:50:06.160 seventeen games, he's eight and nine. So I mean that's 0:50:06.200 --> 0:50:08.640 a key for this Dallas defense. Forced a couple takeaways, 0:50:08.640 --> 0:50:10.840 forced a couple of gibaways, and then all of a sudden, 0:50:10.880 --> 0:50:12.480 it puts you in a tough situation. 0:50:12.800 --> 0:50:14.319 I think the thing that really helped him in the 0:50:14.400 --> 0:50:16.440 arguments is you go back two years ago in those 0:50:16.440 --> 0:50:19.319 playoffs when he got by New England, get they beat 0:50:19.400 --> 0:50:21.400 Kansas City, and it comes down to where it's like 0:50:21.400 --> 0:50:23.920 who has the ball last? And then those two games combined, 0:50:23.960 --> 0:50:26.200 I mean nine touchdown passes, no interceptions. I mean he 0:50:26.360 --> 0:50:29.120 there have been some playoff you know games where I mean, 0:50:29.160 --> 0:50:31.680 even for his totalities four and four in the playoffs, 0:50:31.800 --> 0:50:35.800 seventeen touchdown passes, only four interceptions. I mean, I just 0:50:35.840 --> 0:50:37.279 think that he's a really good player. I know this 0:50:37.320 --> 0:50:39.080 hasn't been a great season in a way, almost seems 0:50:39.080 --> 0:50:40.399 like he's having a little bit of the Dak season 0:50:40.400 --> 0:50:42.319 from last year in terms of the turnovers, you know. 0:50:42.680 --> 0:50:45.480 But man, I would love if anybody, if I was 0:50:45.520 --> 0:50:47.959 a GM right now and anybody was trying to sell 0:50:48.040 --> 0:50:50.279 Josh Allen, I would love to commit to that guy 0:50:50.320 --> 0:50:52.319 being my quarterback for the next decade plus. 0:50:52.400 --> 0:50:54.520 Yeah, if I'm building a team, I'm completely okay with 0:50:54.560 --> 0:50:56.200 that shrush out on my team. And if he can 0:50:56.200 --> 0:50:58.239 clean up the turnovers similar to how Dak has been 0:50:58.239 --> 0:50:59.440 able to do this season. 0:50:59.320 --> 0:51:00.880 Buffalo will super Bowls. 0:51:00.960 --> 0:51:04.520 Yeah, Clural, that's that's a that's a given saw stat. 0:51:04.560 --> 0:51:07.239 I'm trying to find it here, the fact that Dak 0:51:07.280 --> 0:51:09.399 has cleaned it up. Though as much as he has, 0:51:09.440 --> 0:51:10.040 it's never to. 0:51:09.960 --> 0:51:11.440 Have been done in the NFL. 0:51:11.719 --> 0:51:14.080 He could be the first quarterback in the Super Bowl 0:51:14.120 --> 0:51:18.239 era to lead the NFL in passing touchdowns the year 0:51:18.320 --> 0:51:20.480 after leading the NFL in interceptions. 0:51:20.880 --> 0:51:23.759 Wow, not even James Brett bar No. 0:51:24.560 --> 0:51:26.799 The only other quarterback in NFL history to do it 0:51:26.840 --> 0:51:31.160 was in nineteen forty five Hall of Famer Bob Waterfield. 0:51:31.360 --> 0:51:34.960 You guys remember watching Bob Waterbury. Waterfield back in the day. 0:51:35.280 --> 0:51:38.279 Nineteen forty five he was with the Cleveland Rams, and 0:51:38.280 --> 0:51:41.200 then he went to nineteen forty six with the La Rams. 0:51:40.960 --> 0:51:43.120 And he didn't play for the Saint Louis Royals at 0:51:43.120 --> 0:51:43.920 any points or anything. 0:51:44.040 --> 0:51:46.680 I don't know. He's a Hall of Famer. 0:51:46.760 --> 0:51:50.720 He's in Canton, But with no disrespect to mister water Yeah, Waterfield, 0:51:50.719 --> 0:51:53.520 I'm sure was a great player. But that's that's what 0:51:54.160 --> 0:51:56.319 the totality of what Dak is doing. He's trying to 0:51:56.320 --> 0:51:59.880 flip it. I get trying to finish a season and 0:52:00.120 --> 0:52:02.359 the pressure is on from here on out anyway, so 0:52:02.400 --> 0:52:05.560 he's going to have a chance to prove it. But 0:52:05.800 --> 0:52:07.480 you got to finish the season, you got to put 0:52:07.520 --> 0:52:10.479 yourself in position playoff wise to try and make a run. 0:52:10.719 --> 0:52:12.879 And then I get, I get pushing him to Tier one. 0:52:12.920 --> 0:52:14.920 I just didn't like the quote. I think that's the 0:52:14.920 --> 0:52:16.759 one thing is I felt like it was kind of 0:52:16.760 --> 0:52:19.600 a cop out answer from whoever that quote was from. 0:52:20.000 --> 0:52:24.120 But that's an interesting conversation for sure. And I think 0:52:24.200 --> 0:52:26.319 Josh Allen's a Tier one quarterback, don't get me wrong. 0:52:26.600 --> 0:52:28.880 I just think Dak is borderline Tier one. He's got 0:52:28.880 --> 0:52:31.080 a chance to prove it that he is up there 0:52:31.160 --> 0:52:32.560 right now in the way that he's been playing. 0:52:32.680 --> 0:52:36.680 The definition on Mike's list on tier two quarterbacks is 0:52:36.680 --> 0:52:39.000 a Tier two quarterback can carry his team sometimes but 0:52:39.080 --> 0:52:42.800 not as consistently. He can handle pure passing situation in 0:52:42.920 --> 0:52:46.040 doses and or possesses other dimensions that are special enough 0:52:46.040 --> 0:52:48.880 to elevate him above tier three. He has a hole 0:52:49.000 --> 0:52:50.080 or two in his game. 0:52:50.600 --> 0:52:54.839 Okay, that's not terrible because I agree with the consistency 0:52:54.880 --> 0:52:57.880 part of it. He's been consistent in twenty twenty three. 0:52:58.239 --> 0:53:00.239 But you got to keep that going, you can't. Yeah, 0:53:00.280 --> 0:53:02.680 of course, that's the level of consistency, or that's the 0:53:02.719 --> 0:53:05.839 definition of consistency, right of being. If I can say 0:53:05.880 --> 0:53:08.040 that word consistency, the uh, you. 0:53:08.080 --> 0:53:09.680 Know, we gotta get out of here. Health, I think 0:53:09.760 --> 0:53:11.680 is the biggest thing towards dak as well, though. Ye like, 0:53:11.920 --> 0:53:13.759 whenever he's healthy he plays at this level. 0:53:13.840 --> 0:53:14.359 That's good thing. 0:53:14.440 --> 0:53:16.279 Back to other times in the health of his offensive line. 0:53:16.600 --> 0:53:18.880 Yeah, absolutely, it's when he's been healthy and he's had 0:53:18.920 --> 0:53:19.680 healthy guys up front. 0:53:19.719 --> 0:53:21.600 All right, that does it for us. Be sure to 0:53:21.640 --> 0:53:24.920 call in on storyline with Nick Eatman. Get it at 0:53:24.960 --> 0:53:27.000 eight eight eight eight five five two two ninety seven. 0:53:27.000 --> 0:53:28.799 He's getting started in a couple minutes. But that does 0:53:28.840 --> 0:53:31.160 it for us. Here on talking Cowboys for Chris Beam, 0:53:31.239 --> 0:53:33.960 John Manchoda, Nick Harris, I'm Kyle Yeoman saying so long 0:53:34.000 --> 0:53:34.920 from the storm Frisco. 0:53:35.120 --> 0:53:35.960 We'll see you tomorrow. 0:53:36.600 --> 0:53:39.600 This has been a production of dallascowboys dot Com and 0:53:39.719 --> 0:53:41.560 the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
