Speaker 4: representing a way, so.
Speaker 2: They coming here yesterday.
Speaker 4: I'm talking about smiling from ear to ear because Philly
Speaker 4: got beat.
Speaker 2: I'm saying that don't have nothing to do with us.
Speaker 4: And the whole day they talking about that just gives
Speaker 4: us out like we optimistic now because we saw they
Speaker 4: got a chink in their arm, and I'm like, that
Speaker 4: don't mean nothing. The only one came in here with
Speaker 4: chek and nobody said nothing about no chinking, no armor.
Speaker 4: That was you from the beginning. Whoa you didn't say
Speaker 4: that like you said that. Would you like to bet
Speaker 4: you're the one open you opened the show with chinking arm.
Speaker 4: Would you like to bet I don't want to be
Speaker 4: all right because I ain't never said man, I actually
Speaker 4: came here yes and say yesterday and said that didn't
Speaker 4: have nothing to do with us. I ain't no chinking
Speaker 4: the Armorer. They've been playing that way all year. So
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna because you know, because you know, I'm
Speaker 4: gonna because you know, I'm gonna rewind to take because
Speaker 4: that's what he loves to do.
Speaker 2: Forensic.
Speaker 4: We're gonna don't go back and don't deal with him
Speaker 4: on that level. So I didn't say check say that now.
Speaker 4: I didn't say it.
Speaker 2: Anyway.
Speaker 4: I said tomorrow man, I see tomorrow man, Man, what
Speaker 4: do you think about it? I mean, we've been talking
Speaker 4: about philing this Philly. This is how we played Philly.
Speaker 4: Obviously Sunday night, everybody's anticipating this matchup.
Speaker 2: But you was tuned in at three fifteen to that game.
Speaker 2: So I want to know.
Speaker 4: We didn't get a chance to talk to you yesterday,
Speaker 4: but tell us, man, what did you think about it?
Speaker 1: So when I looked at that game, you know, at
Speaker 1: first I was going into it. I'm like, it's about
Speaker 1: to be a matchup. This is about to be it.
Speaker 1: Like you know, you got two powerhouses in the NFC,
Speaker 1: possibly the two best in the National Football League. Going
Speaker 1: at it primetime foot of all that good stuff. In
Speaker 1: the first half it it kind of lived up to
Speaker 1: a fourteen six. I feel like Philadelphia squandered a couple,
Speaker 1: you know, red zone situations. They squandered them early on,
Speaker 1: and I kind of gave you know, the forty nine
Speaker 1: ers that wont met them to go. But when you
Speaker 1: look at them as a whole, man, I just don't
Speaker 1: see any we talk about chinks, I don't see anything.
Speaker 5: When you come to the forty.
Speaker 1: Nine ers, that's gonna be a bad matchup for anybody
Speaker 1: in the league. Maybe outside of Baltimore, that's gonna be
Speaker 1: a bad matchup. So when you look at the forty
Speaker 1: nine ers, I think, at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: it's gonna have to go through San Francisco to get
Speaker 1: where you.
Speaker 2: Want to go.
Speaker 5: And we're talking about the s Bob.
Speaker 1: If you want to get to where you need to go,
Speaker 1: it's gonna have to go through San Francisco. Because you
Speaker 1: look at it, not only does the coaching off point,
Speaker 1: you saw how they was able to confuse that Philly
Speaker 1: definey defense. They knew what was going out there. Edges
Speaker 1: weren't being said. Guys were all over the place, and
Speaker 1: I think they had a lot to do with the
Speaker 1: play design and all that good stuff. Brock Purty, that
Speaker 1: man's starting to come along. Man, Like early on it
Speaker 1: was kind of like, man, you know he got all
Speaker 1: these all pros. He ain't he's not like that. The
Speaker 1: man's making throws in the biggest of the games, you know,
Speaker 1: Dallas forty two to ten. I believe, Philly forty two nineteen.
Speaker 1: I mean, the man's making big plays. So overall, forty
Speaker 1: nine ers is where they were. I think everything's gonna
Speaker 1: have to go through. But Philadelphia, man, that that defense,
Speaker 1: that defense looked extremely suspect, especially on the back end.
Speaker 1: And it wasn't just a player here, a player there.
Speaker 1: I seen big Place Slagh getting turned around. I seen
Speaker 1: brad Berry on the other side getting beat the safeties,
Speaker 1: which I bragged about early on byed those guys. They
Speaker 1: they were Phillip hole, they were missing old. There was
Speaker 1: a lot of mistackles in that game. And you know
Speaker 1: Shaqland being there, that's that got to be an upgrade
Speaker 1: in my opinion, eventually. But when you look at it, man,
Speaker 1: that defense is extremely gettable, and the offense for Philadelphia
Speaker 1: has to play lights out in my opinion, to match
Speaker 1: up with Cowboys or the forty nine ers.
Speaker 4: You know, and you sound just like I sounded yesterday,
Speaker 4: and they would shooting me down yesterday. I say, man,
Speaker 4: San Francisco is different when they're comparing what they can
Speaker 4: do to you on offense, their offensive schemes, how they
Speaker 4: play with your eyes, get you out of your gap,
Speaker 4: don't They don't allow you to sit there in because like
Speaker 4: it is, it is a totally different challenge than anything
Speaker 4: else you gonna see from anybody else around the league.
Speaker 4: And when they're healthy, I have agreed, they are the
Speaker 4: best team in the league. You are in healthforcements. This
Speaker 4: is exactly what I said yesterday. And it was like, Nah,
Speaker 4: that showed us that you can I said that we
Speaker 4: just played phillyd Ago.
Speaker 2: It didn't show us. We didn't look like that. Lamb
Speaker 2: almost had.
Speaker 4: While he's while he's rewinding the tape, lit me just
Speaker 4: say this tomorrow. Tomorrow, would you rewind the tape. My
Speaker 4: whole thing was in the matchups that I've seen the
Speaker 4: Philadelphia Eagles in, they have something in the first half
Speaker 4: they've had to They've gone into half down by seventy
Speaker 4: ten three, whatever, it is teams have let them off
Speaker 4: the hook. My thing was the forty nine ers was
Speaker 4: the one team that I knew that could come in
Speaker 4: if healthy, and not let them off the hook. And
Speaker 4: we saw that. That's my only point that a team
Speaker 4: is gonna play them for four quarters, like Philly is
Speaker 4: gonna play you for four quarters.
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts has that Nick Sabing trait.
Speaker 4: Whatever it is they gonna play you for, it's gonna
Speaker 4: be a fourth quarter game. Now, the forty nineers was
Speaker 4: the only team that I saw come in there and say,
Speaker 4: I right, Poundtown, this is what we did. You know,
Speaker 4: we got Will Smith, he got nothing about no come
Speaker 4: on people, yeah, come on, But you saw what it was.
Speaker 4: I mean that second quarter, that third quarter, that fourth quarter,
Speaker 4: they were unrelenting on defense and on offense. Now, when
Speaker 4: I'm saying they look gettable, it's because a team that
Speaker 4: won't lit up on them, and that's.
Speaker 2: The way the Dallas is gonna beat them.
Speaker 4: I'm listening because I want you to go back and
Speaker 4: I want you to go through the stats that you said,
Speaker 4: because he was talking about you.
Speaker 2: See what CMC did to him, and it was betting
Speaker 2: all these yards.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, we got that, I said, Tony Paula averaging
Speaker 4: not as much to see MC this year.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 4: We talked about the last time we played Philly had
Speaker 4: like fifty three yards three catches for thirteen yards, and
Speaker 4: then Heck started ratling on off stats and said, okay,
Speaker 4: I mean if you can go ahead and get ninety
Speaker 4: seven rushing at forty catching, and I said, when has
Speaker 4: he done that? A so so like, Okay, it doesn't
Speaker 4: make me feel better about Tony Paula being able to
Speaker 4: do that just because of what I saw San Francisco do,
Speaker 4: because I know what San Francisco is.
Speaker 2: Can we beat Philly? Absolutely?
Speaker 4: We left them off the hook last time we played them,
Speaker 4: But I don't always consider that letting them up the hook.
Speaker 4: They found a way to make the players at the
Speaker 4: time when we weren't able to make them. San Francisco
Speaker 4: just one of them teams where man, when they get
Speaker 4: you down, they're gonna keep you down. Shanahan is the
Speaker 4: wizard of the West Coast System. Well we agree on that, yes, okay?
Speaker 4: Will you agree that Mike McCarthy runs some variation of
Speaker 4: what is considered a West Coast system.
Speaker 1: Getting the ball out fast to moving your number one
Speaker 1: option around you, I would say, so.
Speaker 2: I agree. I know you're going with this, but you
Speaker 2: finish No, it's a variation on in all.
Speaker 4: I'm saying, Texas Coast, Texas Coast, whatever you want to
Speaker 4: call it. But the truth is is in this offense,
Speaker 4: what I believe is missing and what you don't see
Speaker 4: is that incremental production from Tony Pollard in the running
Speaker 4: game which would make everything else run smooth. Now, I'm
Speaker 4: saying this, in any especially in most offenses, short passing
Speaker 4: is just an extension of the running game.
Speaker 2: Would you agree with that? Agree? Okay?
Speaker 4: So San Antonio, I do a lot, got it?
Speaker 2: Okay? San Francisco.
Speaker 4: San Francisco's extension of their running game is so short
Speaker 4: passing game with Deebo Samuel's okay. And I think that
Speaker 4: the Cowboys do the same thing. And I'm relating this
Speaker 4: to Brandon Cooks as well, because Brandon Cooks can be
Speaker 4: that extension of the running game that you're not getting
Speaker 4: from Tony Pollard in those short passes. We hadn't been
Speaker 4: able to hit him. Well lately we've been able to
Speaker 4: do it. But expose defenses with that style of an offense,
Speaker 4: and all I'm saying, is that for Tony Pollard. To me,
Speaker 4: I just need a twenty percent boost in his production
Speaker 4: to be sure that we can go into this game
Speaker 4: and be Philly.
Speaker 5: No, no, no doubt about it.
Speaker 1: I think if you if you're getting a little bit
Speaker 1: more out of Tony Poller, it'll make things easier for Dak.
Speaker 1: We talk about play action and being able to manipulate
Speaker 1: the defense, but I will say this man that the
Speaker 1: system is one thing, But Deebo Samuel, he's a different dude.
Speaker 1: I mean, you could throw a bubble screen to him
Speaker 1: and he could take it, you know, sixty five yards.
Speaker 5: On any given down.
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey might be the best running back in the
Speaker 1: national football one of one. So when you talk about,
Speaker 1: you know, being able to expose defense, it's also the
Speaker 1: guys in the in that system that's able to expose that.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't see another receiver like like Deebo Samuel,
Speaker 1: like Ceede Lambs is a beast when it comes to
Speaker 1: route running catching.
Speaker 2: But when you talk about, you know, being a running
Speaker 2: back after you.
Speaker 1: Got that ball in your hands, only there's only so
Speaker 1: many cats like a Deebo Samuel. So to me, I
Speaker 1: think the system that the Cowboys got going now where
Speaker 1: it's you know, they're getting the ball out of Dak's
Speaker 1: hands quick. He's also hitting some of those Sea routes.
Speaker 1: Fergie's coming alive a little bit out there as well,
Speaker 1: and Cooks. I think that offense is enough, just Mike McCarthy,
Speaker 1: Texas Coast, whatever you want to call it, is enough
Speaker 1: to move the ball on Philly and give your team
Speaker 1: an opportunity to win. I mean, we saw a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks ago Dak was outstanding against Philly in Philadelphia,
Speaker 1: and we all know this team is a different team
Speaker 1: on the road. But when you talk about at home,
Speaker 1: I think that's when you get the best of the best.
Speaker 1: And this offense that they got right now, I think
Speaker 1: it's it's perfectly made and it will be able to
Speaker 1: move the ball against Philly.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I think and I agree with that because
Speaker 4: I think our offense is much different than than San Francisco's, Like,
Speaker 4: we don't San Francisco is able to do what they
Speaker 4: do because how well they're able to run the ball
Speaker 4: right right. I don't think we have that the same
Speaker 4: type of running game, but we do have Dak Prescott
Speaker 4: and the way that Dak Prescott has played since the
Speaker 4: bye week has been a way that I think that
Speaker 4: if he can sustain that and continue protecting the ball
Speaker 4: and getting the ball into his playmaker's hands and also
Speaker 4: continue extending plays using his legs, I think that is
Speaker 4: our recipe for beating any team out there in the league.
Speaker 4: I just don't think we're gonna go out there and
Speaker 4: look any anyway like San Francs. Like I said, the
Speaker 4: players make a difference and Debo is a difference maker,
Speaker 4: but that offense runs through.
Speaker 2: Christian McCaffrey, like he is the guy.
Speaker 4: Being able to catch out of the backfield have caused
Speaker 4: those matchups. He can also block in past like he
Speaker 4: can do all of it. And I think as long
Speaker 4: as you have a guy like that on your squad,
Speaker 4: then you're good.
Speaker 2: Our guy like that is Dak Prescott.
Speaker 4: So it's staying on this side of the ball, I mean,
Speaker 4: from our offense to their defense. And then you talk
Speaker 4: about the weapons and there's no comparison, and nobody's trying
Speaker 4: to call Brandon.
Speaker 2: Cooks Debo tp CMC not doing that.
Speaker 4: What I'm saying is with the weapons that you have,
Speaker 4: you have an opportunity against this Philly defense, which to me,
Speaker 4: like you said, that secondary looks guttible, all right, but
Speaker 4: what isn't gettable is that front.
Speaker 2: That front line. They are still stout up front.
Speaker 4: Now you have seen and my question to y'all, is
Speaker 4: is related to the offensive line and raising up to
Speaker 4: the challenge of Philadelphia's defensive front because the last time
Speaker 4: we saw them, we had a big time problem with
Speaker 4: our protection.
Speaker 2: Yeah, listen, it's still it's still a little scary. I think.
Speaker 4: I think the positives that you can take out of
Speaker 4: our offensive line this time around is I think Tyron Smith,
Speaker 4: now with this new practice schedule, is a lot healthier
Speaker 4: and he's playing He's able to play a lot better
Speaker 4: because I think that that weight is off his shoulder, right.
Speaker 4: I think he feels a lot more comfortable in doing
Speaker 4: everything that he needs to do because he not worried
Speaker 4: about being injured. And he's also healthy as he's been
Speaker 4: in a while. All right, Tyler Smith continuing to get better.
Speaker 4: I still like the hottish I watched the Philadelphia defensive
Speaker 4: line and they didn't look anything unstoppable when they played
Speaker 4: against San Francisco, So I'm still comfortable there I think
Speaker 4: the issue that we had was a Terren Steel issue
Speaker 4: last time. And I'm hoping that, like Terren Steel has
Speaker 4: done in the past when he's had a bad outing,
Speaker 4: had a bad season, that he went back into the
Speaker 4: lab no pun intended, and he worked with the offensive
Speaker 4: line coach and they said, hey, man, this is what
Speaker 4: you got to do to get better. Right, you got
Speaker 4: ten days. Right, you played on Thursday, we play on Sunday.
Speaker 4: You got ten days. We need to figure out how
Speaker 4: to get you better. So we don't have that same
Speaker 4: type of issue when we go into the game. And
Speaker 4: I believe that, though it may not be one hundred
Speaker 4: percent better, he's going to be more stout than he
Speaker 4: was in the previous So you believe I do, Karen
Speaker 4: still in this matchup with Sweat, I believe he will
Speaker 4: be better than he was last time.
Speaker 1: And I believe they'll do a better job coaching, Like
Speaker 1: I don't think if they Sweats starting to go crazy, Like,
Speaker 1: I don't think they're just gonna leave he still on
Speaker 1: the island like they did in the previous game. And
Speaker 1: we all saw that last drive. I mean, the man
Speaker 1: was getting beat him for whatever reason. There was no
Speaker 1: chipping of the running back, chipping of the tight end.
Speaker 1: They kind of left him out there on the island,
Speaker 1: which we saw was devastating overall. So I feel like,
Speaker 1: not only will t still you know, I don't know,
Speaker 1: be in the right space, whatever the case may be,
Speaker 1: and he'll he'll perform better, but I believe that they
Speaker 1: won't leave him on an island as well. I think
Speaker 1: McCarthy has done a great job coaching so far, especially offensively,
Speaker 1: and I don't think he'll let one guy, you know,
Speaker 1: ruin the entire thing.
Speaker 5: I think they're going to help him out a lot
Speaker 5: on that edge. So overall I'm in it.
Speaker 1: I went and deviate too far from the game plan
Speaker 1: that they had last time. But I do think those
Speaker 1: two guys in the middle for Philadelphia, you're talking about
Speaker 1: Jordan Davis and who's the young guy from from the
Speaker 1: rookie from Alabama, Jalen Carter.
Speaker 5: I do believe that they'll create a little bit of
Speaker 5: problem in there.
Speaker 1: Like Beyonna, he's playing well, but those two guys, man,
Speaker 1: they create a lot of early penetration. So I can
Speaker 1: see us getting you know, Dak prescoing on the edge
Speaker 1: using his legs or getting Tony Pollard out on the
Speaker 1: edge in that regard. But I like the game plan
Speaker 1: they did last time, and be honest with you, I mean,
Speaker 1: and they put up a lot of points. But what's
Speaker 1: happening minus the fact that Brandon Cooks was not looked
Speaker 1: at it? Well yeah, okay, yeah, because as much as
Speaker 1: you getting helped by bringing the tight end in or
Speaker 1: or somebody to chip and all that stuff like, you're
Speaker 1: able to do that if you have more than one
Speaker 1: person who was going off in the game. All right,
Speaker 1: If Ceedee Lamb and Brandon Cooks are options out there
Speaker 1: for you to say, hey man, both these dudes are
Speaker 1: eating and we can throw about any one of these
Speaker 1: guys at any time, right, and defense has to respect that.
Speaker 1: Then you have an opportunity to move that tight end
Speaker 1: in and then chip because you don't necessarily have to
Speaker 1: have him in the route because you got two guys
Speaker 1: out there, possibly three guys out there that's cooking, and
Speaker 1: you can afford to say, hey man, you stay here,
Speaker 1: make sure that he has some help before you release
Speaker 1: out into your route. So throw, throw, throw Brandon Cooks
Speaker 1: to get him involved.
Speaker 4: Wwever you gotta do it out of the backfield screen
Speaker 4: pass whatever it is.
Speaker 2: He ain't debo, But I'm telling you speed wins speed
Speaker 2: kills in the NFL.
Speaker 4: I watched Tyree Hill go out there and do what
Speaker 4: he did because I played against him in both My
Speaker 4: fantasy leader went out there and kill me in both though.
Speaker 4: All right, I seen the man motion across, get down
Speaker 4: in a squat position, and everybody know he's about to
Speaker 4: run deep like he just coming out of the blocks,
Speaker 4: and they ran.
Speaker 2: He ran straight by every time.
Speaker 4: Now, why you kill me? Why you kill me when
Speaker 4: I talk about Tony Pollard and c mc vein, and
Speaker 4: then you take no no, I said no, no, no, no,
Speaker 4: you preface your statement. I said speed, But I said speed, okay,
Speaker 4: not but your tight player for what I see. But
Speaker 4: then you took this that's not the same. Oh no,
Speaker 4: you're talking about different. You're talking about the player I'm
Speaker 4: talking about it.
Speaker 2: He is this guy right here. You lost, girl. You
Speaker 2: are in the wrong profession, brost.
Speaker 4: You just want to argue it's Tyring Hill fast. Yes,
Speaker 4: it's Brandon Cooks fast.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 4: So that's that's what I'm talking about. Their ability to
Speaker 4: run rouse and do all that playing. I'm just talking
Speaker 4: about when how fast they are you you win, because
Speaker 4: I'm gonna win on this on this foolish.
Speaker 2: Were talking about.
Speaker 4: Now, I know y'all got a chance to look at
Speaker 4: the tape and just at the defense for Philadelphia. Who
Speaker 4: is the guy that you're circling this guy and saying, look,
Speaker 4: opportunity goes right through.
Speaker 2: This is what you gotta go. Three? Who is the nickelback?
Speaker 5: He he just does not.
Speaker 2: Know his name? All right, we need to make the announcers.
Speaker 4: We got Sidney Brown, who's twenty one, know him? Uh,
Speaker 4: said Bradley Roby, who fifteen with the nine. I'm just
Speaker 4: saying the announcers should know his for for the treatment
Speaker 4: that these teams have come in here and tried to
Speaker 4: put on twenty six, I'm saying, so you know we've
Speaker 4: been watching this for the last few games.
Speaker 2: Hey man, we're gonna find the run playing. We're gonna
Speaker 2: see it. He's coming. All right.
Speaker 4: That should be the same treatment that we give three
Speaker 4: nine this week. Wherever he lined up at, that person
Speaker 4: should be. But what Chad kissed the bak? It should
Speaker 4: be work coming his way. Elive Ricks Ricks, he lives.
Speaker 4: It should be a Eli Ricks type of day. Yeah,
Speaker 4: because if it's not. If it's not, then you're doing
Speaker 4: yourself for dis service because we just watched We just
Speaker 4: watched it, and we watch every other team in the
Speaker 4: league say hey, man, we're gonna make sure that we
Speaker 4: have this matchup in our favorite and then we're gonna
Speaker 4: take advantage of it. And Nickel and as far as
Speaker 4: the Nicola is concerned, that would be ca CD.
Speaker 2: Lines up inside everywhere, but.
Speaker 4: That would be primarily which receiver would be on thirty nine,
Speaker 4: thirty nine slot slot. So the cooks, yeah, I mean,
Speaker 4: either one of them has been doing a lot, so yeah,
Speaker 4: take turns on them. But I'm putting CD there all
Speaker 4: day and you're gonna have to figure out figure out
Speaker 4: a way to double team him in the slot and
Speaker 4: then leave Brandon Cutz, Michael Gallup whoever that is turping
Speaker 4: out there one on one, and then you got to
Speaker 4: see if.
Speaker 2: They if they can win those matchups.
Speaker 1: Because everybody's been destroying Eli Rix. I mean, it's just
Speaker 1: not good. It's everybody. You look at it, You're like, man,
Speaker 1: who's thirty nine? How they let him back in the game.
Speaker 2: Who's this thirty nine falling?
Speaker 5: And it's Eli Rix?
Speaker 4: What's your opinion of James brad Bear as a corner.
Speaker 4: What do you think about him? I think he's solid.
Speaker 4: I think he's a solid corner like I think he get.
Speaker 4: He takes the ball away, not as great as a Bland,
Speaker 4: but he'll give you about three to four interceptions a gear.
Speaker 1: He's usually tasked with either the number one or the
Speaker 1: number two. I've received because Slay doesn't travel. He don't travel,
Speaker 1: so he's could go against one of the number one
Speaker 1: guys each and every time and has he gotten burned?
Speaker 2: Of course he has.
Speaker 1: Every corner is gonna get theirs, but I think more
Speaker 1: times than not, you know, he's shown up in games
Speaker 1: and he's been able to play, so I think he's
Speaker 1: a solid corner man.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think he's solid. I'm gonna say this, you know,
Speaker 4: and you know, you know you're gonna see what you
Speaker 4: gotta say. I think that Philly secondary is solid. I
Speaker 4: think they ran into a buzzsaw last week, and I
Speaker 4: think the same thing happened with.
Speaker 2: Us the week before.
Speaker 4: Or Geno Smith came in here looked like he was
Speaker 4: the best quarterback in the league. I still think they
Speaker 4: have some guys who could make some players out there
Speaker 4: I think we are better than them offensively. I think
Speaker 4: that our skill positions Ceedee Lamb, Brandon Cooks and the
Speaker 4: other guys who will say I think that we are
Speaker 4: better than them, and I think that is a matchup

Speaker 5: So we did it and it's Dak Prescott talking about
Speaker 5: cancer screenings. Obviously, remember he lost his mom to it.
Speaker 5: Craig Melvin lost his brother to it. And so this
Speaker 5: shows you the kind of guy he is. You know,
Speaker 5: even in the midst of a year where he's co
Speaker 5: leading Brock Purty for the m v P, he wants
Speaker 5: to take time till people get themselves checked out. Says
Speaker 5: a lot about the dude. Man we all know. And
Speaker 5: I was telling Craig, I was like, when you cover
Speaker 5: him like we do, and you know about the man,
Speaker 5: when you hear the criticism that he gets, you just
Speaker 5: kind of you just shake your head. It's just like,
Speaker 5: you know, guys, this this dude deserves an applause for
Speaker 5: all he's been through the doing what he's doing. In
Speaker 5: life as a person and as a man. I got
Speaker 5: a lot of respect like we all do this table,
Speaker 5: and a lot of respect for for Dak Prescott. But
Speaker 5: it's just good to see nationally him getting credit being
Speaker 5: the Walter Payton Man of the Year. So that was
Speaker 5: school's I was doing.
Speaker 2: So apologize what what time? And when is that air?
Speaker 5: So it's going to uh air Friday morning, Friday, it's
Speaker 5: gonna air.
Speaker 4: And I saw a little video of him giving d
Speaker 4: Law He's surprised d Law was Walter played Walter Payton.
Speaker 2: Man of the Year nomination of this year.
Speaker 4: Yes, that was it was because we know d Law
Speaker 4: when first got drafted, and to see da where he
Speaker 4: is now is great and it's great to see a
Speaker 4: guy like Dak be able to to give him that surprise,
Speaker 4: because I mean that who else would do it?
Speaker 2: Here?
Speaker 5: We all understand and know that these guys come in
Speaker 5: as very young men, but the public judges them as
Speaker 5: though they're full grown adults. And you're, you know, better
Speaker 5: than all these different things. And d Law has uh
Speaker 5: he's grown into a great family man. And you guys
Speaker 5: played with him, and heck, you know you d Law
Speaker 5: has been getting baptisting me for a long time and
Speaker 5: it just doesn't get highlighted. And and it's good to see.
Speaker 5: When I saw Dak do that, I was like, man,
Speaker 5: I'm really happy because I ended up talking him this
Speaker 5: summer training camp just about the different things he's been
Speaker 5: doing around here because I wanted that highlighted as well.
Speaker 5: We and I'll raise my hand in the meat. He
Speaker 5: being a personal TV. We quit to sit up here
Speaker 5: and talk about what guys don't do right or if
Speaker 5: they do something wrong. We never equalize the hey, here's
Speaker 5: what you're doing good part. We never do that. So
Speaker 5: so that was really cool to see that for for
Speaker 5: d Law And then that interview by the way, I
Speaker 5: do a crag. I think got air on Thursday morning.
Speaker 2: On Thursday and Friday Thursday.
Speaker 4: It's our brother Nui with another Emmy on the way.
Speaker 4: A couple of couple.
Speaker 1: Fifteen now almost man, we twelve after this, you know
Speaker 1: it's gonna be We trust that, you know, back them up.
Speaker 5: But you know we got our boy Kyle Yeomans that one.
Speaker 5: I kept telling you to do it. You wouldn't do it, man,
Speaker 5: You need to get up in there.
Speaker 2: You do it for him. That's bet I did it myself.
Speaker 5: I think of this now. I told Kyle to do it.
Speaker 5: Isaiah got on it on the train, Hailey got on it.
Speaker 4: All they all have it coming, all they all want.
Speaker 5: And this man, this man is right here doing he's
Speaker 5: been working on the same sense with them. Could have
Speaker 5: been you, because that's true, Man's true. He said, you
Speaker 5: never know, man, I might jump in there. You never know,
Speaker 5: You never know.
Speaker 4: That's how you're gonna walk to walk to his wine
Speaker 4: cellar and get him a fifty year old wine.
Speaker 5: Get me back to Toledo, you know, show the boys.
Speaker 1: You know, I wonder if if it's still forty two,
Speaker 1: I don't know, that's probably a little bit more they're
Speaker 1: dropping for you.
Speaker 4: Hey, you know, I'm happy you said that about that
Speaker 4: being co leading for m v P with Rock Party,
Speaker 4: and you know, because I know a lot of people
Speaker 4: always say nobody gives that any credit for doing anything.
Speaker 4: That's been playing well. And I've been seeing Dak get
Speaker 4: credit for playing well this season. And I hope they
Speaker 4: not just building them up to knock him down. I
Speaker 4: hope that, you know, No, no, no, no, I hope
Speaker 4: I hope that got that pen. Did he talk about
Speaker 4: that he's writing a story with in these next few
Speaker 4: games that we play. Heeps, hey man, stamp it right here.
Speaker 4: Hey bro I'm here and I'm playing against all competition,
Speaker 4: no matter the horrible team like the Giants when they
Speaker 4: came here, or if it was the top nots team
Speaker 4: that we that we will be playing in the month
Speaker 4: of December, I am still here and I'm ready to go.
Speaker 5: Stand on that for a minute, and I forgot because
Speaker 5: you dove all lost on them. They fell away with
Speaker 5: that one. You know, the number one seed is in
Speaker 5: the AFC. Now Miami, they're on the schedule. So the
Speaker 5: Cowboys have Philadelphia on Florid, Buffalo, Detroit. You got first place,
Speaker 5: you know, the first place, number one seed, Miami dog
Speaker 5: number when you've got Detroit, who's right there with the Cowboys.
Speaker 5: So the ability to lock up the MVP, even if
Speaker 5: he ties it with Brock Purty, you know the votes
Speaker 5: are going to be there. He has the opportunity to
Speaker 5: make the statement to close the show. And that's what
Speaker 5: you got to do in these types of these types
Speaker 5: of contests. Here, you know you got a clue when
Speaker 5: you don't remember what you did at the end, because
Speaker 5: it's the most recent thing. So he's got the opportunity.
Speaker 4: That I hope he I hope he does too, man,
Speaker 4: But the noise is starting to get loud, and so
Speaker 4: I want him to keep keep them same receipts, keep.
Speaker 2: That same energy that they had.
Speaker 4: Yeah, man, they have to, they have to because he
Speaker 4: ain't played Nobody do.
Speaker 2: This, bro.
Speaker 4: While we always got hey man, hey, listen. Last year, Okay,
Speaker 4: the man led the league in interception. People talked about
Speaker 4: it a lot, as they should. Okay, he came back
Speaker 4: this year and the offense. Look, look, however, you look
Speaker 4: in the first few games and we were sitting there
Speaker 4: saying we aren't sure, we aren't sure. Okay, he was
Speaker 4: efficient under two hundred yards pass and we weren't sure.
Speaker 4: They came out of the out of the by week
Speaker 4: and he's looked totally different. So now he gets the amen.
Speaker 4: You'll protect in the ball, you leaning touchdowns, and you
Speaker 4: the co MVP. Hopefully the rest of the season, you
Speaker 4: play it out and you get some dubs and you
Speaker 4: win the MVP. I think that is fair to say.
Speaker 4: Let's talk about it. Dude ain't playing well. He ain't
Speaker 4: playing well. If he's playing good, but damnit, he's playing good.
Speaker 4: Let's talk about something to make you happy. I'm happy.
Speaker 4: Let's go to dan Quinn. All right, let's go to
Speaker 4: dan Quinn and this defense, and dan Quinn we trust,
Speaker 4: and dan Quinn we trust.
Speaker 2: Right, that's right right now?
Speaker 4: I mean, honestly, coming into this Philadelphia matchup, guys, what's
Speaker 4: imperative to you as guys that placed it, played in
Speaker 4: the secondary, played defense? Uh, what's important to you guys
Speaker 4: coming into this match?
Speaker 1: I think the number one factor going into this matchup is,
Speaker 1: especially with this defense, you gotta get that pass rush
Speaker 1: going again. I mean, I think that was the main
Speaker 1: difference what we saw when they played against Seattle, which
Speaker 1: Gino Smiff was well, I'm not saying he had all
Speaker 1: day back there, but he was able to step up
Speaker 1: in that pocket and make some big time throws. That's
Speaker 1: something that we haven't seen from an offense going against
Speaker 1: a dan Quinn defense since, you know, probably last year.
Speaker 1: So I think this pass rush has got to get better.
Speaker 1: Because as good as that secondary is, and you got Gilmore,
Speaker 1: you got Bland, lead and lead all that interception stuff.
Speaker 1: I think they benefit a lot out of having that
Speaker 1: that great pass rush. I mean when I was going
Speaker 1: when we were at the number one defense, you know,
Speaker 1: we had a great secondary, but what led that team
Speaker 1: was that defensive pass rush and forcing a quarterback to
Speaker 1: get it out fast and making sure oh man, I
Speaker 1: just wanted down to it's like a hot potato. So
Speaker 1: I think this defense benefits a lot when they have
Speaker 1: those guys getting after the quarterback. And I think that's
Speaker 1: what they got to get back to when you go
Speaker 1: against you know, the Eagles in this situation, you got
Speaker 1: to get back to rushing the passer and making sure
Speaker 1: he feels you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree with that, and I think we got
Speaker 4: to cover better because I think Gino had like one
Speaker 4: of the fastest like time to throws that game, Like
Speaker 4: he was able to get get the snap, get it
Speaker 4: out of there, and those those short passes were turning
Speaker 4: into very long passes, very like big time plays. And
Speaker 4: when you aren't able to stop the big time plays,
Speaker 4: those exposive plays, then you find yourself in trouble like
Speaker 4: we did, DK Medcalf, Tyler Lockett. Then all of a sudden,
Speaker 4: everybody's rolling. Now everybody's they juice up and they ready
Speaker 4: to go. You got to be able to stop those
Speaker 4: big time plays yards after the catch. And then also
Speaker 4: for me, hey, whatever Philly is, we know that they
Speaker 4: want to run the ball, thank you, So for us,
Speaker 4: you gotta stop the run. That's where it starts at.
Speaker 4: Stop Jalen, stop us Swift, stop game. Well, stop all
Speaker 4: these guys running the ball making one dimensional and then
Speaker 4: let your defensive line get out there and do what
Speaker 4: they do best.
Speaker 5: Talking about the run, Philly had one hundred yards of
Speaker 5: rushing on thirty three carries, average three point three yards
Speaker 5: of tote in that game at the link when which
Speaker 5: they won twenty eight twenty three. By the way, the
Speaker 5: Cowboys average three point five yards, but they only had
Speaker 5: seventy three yards rushing. And another thing we got to
Speaker 5: add on this to the penalties, guys, the penalties. You know,
Speaker 5: we could talk all day. Let me about both sides.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 5: Cowboys had ten penalties in that game against Philadelphia had
Speaker 5: nine penalties last week. They can't beat themselves the pre
Speaker 5: snap penalties, jumping off sides, not reporting ineligible to the referees.
Speaker 5: This is in point of emphasis that Mike McCarthy and
Speaker 5: the coordinators have to drill home this week. You are
Speaker 5: not going to beat the Eagles by by allowing them
Speaker 5: to have a first down because you didn't jumped downside
Speaker 5: on a third two. You can't do that in this game.
Speaker 4: And it was weird that I saw Philly in that
Speaker 4: situation a lot, just lining up in the neutral zone
Speaker 4: penalties like that. But you're right, man, Dallas. That last
Speaker 4: game versus Seattle was an ugly game for US penalty wise.
Speaker 4: But I'm I'm opposite of you guys when it comes
Speaker 4: down to what the importance is, and you kind of
Speaker 4: hit on it what you said in the ladder, but
Speaker 4: I just feel like you have to shut them down.
Speaker 4: You have to shut this running game down. The attention
Speaker 4: to detail has to be in shutting Swift down because
Speaker 4: he gets everything when their balance is there. That's where
Speaker 4: it just looks like Jalen Hurts has click everything is
Speaker 4: working for him. He wants to hey, it's third and long,
Speaker 4: he gets to shuffle out and get a first down.
Speaker 2: Because you're worried about so much, and it's hard to.
Speaker 4: Go off of this San Francisco game with the defense
Speaker 4: because Greenlaw and Warner like it'd be fools goal for
Speaker 4: me to assume that bail and don't I don't want
Speaker 4: on that bail.
Speaker 2: Thank you, bro. I've been waiting for you to say
Speaker 2: something like this for two days.
Speaker 4: I would hate there be foods go if I would
Speaker 4: assume that Bell and Clark would be the same on
Speaker 4: the equivalent of it's gonna have to be. What San
Speaker 4: Francisco did was they just basically said, you're not gonna
Speaker 4: run the ball, We're gonna take that away. Forty eighteen
Speaker 4: carries forty six yards. They shut it down. And I
Speaker 4: think that's how you make them one dimensional?
Speaker 1: Was one of y'all just meask all this, you know
Speaker 1: what do you think would hurt this defense more?
Speaker 5: The running game or the big plays?
Speaker 1: And I understand it kind of works as far as
Speaker 1: play action and all that stuff, But you know what
Speaker 1: hurt this team against Seattle, it was it was big
Speaker 1: time play, big chunk plays back there. So would you
Speaker 1: rather have a guy like Swift go for one hundred
Speaker 1: and twenty five or give up three hundred and seventy
Speaker 1: five yards passing in four tubs off of a big
Speaker 1: plays instead of like a gradually making them work for
Speaker 1: it to get down the field. That's the only thing
Speaker 1: with you, because when I look at this team outside
Speaker 1: of that you know, Arizona game, and it was it
Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers game. The run hasn't really destroyed
Speaker 1: this Cowboys defense this year. It hasn't really destroyed it.
Speaker 1: We say teams are getting away from it a really
Speaker 1: fast and that's kudos to what they're able to do
Speaker 1: and stopping it early.
Speaker 5: But it hasn't really.
Speaker 2: Gashed his team, Hugh Arizona did.
Speaker 5: Yeah, outside of the Arizona game. Yeah, So to me,
Speaker 5: it's big plays. It's big plays and making sure you
Speaker 5: got a cap on that.
Speaker 1: I look at what the forty nine ers did or
Speaker 1: the Philly did against the forty nine ers when those
Speaker 1: first two three series it was all shot down the field.
Speaker 1: It was trying to get that big play started. They
Speaker 1: realized they couldn't get the big play. They try to
Speaker 1: run the ball, but that time it was too late.
Speaker 5: So I'm gonna ask.
Speaker 1: Y'all, would you rather have the gradual run or the
Speaker 1: big plays you got to if you gotta stop one.
Speaker 4: Like our offense is playing in a way now where
Speaker 4: it makes me nervous if we can't stop the run
Speaker 4: and the team is able to keep you off of
Speaker 4: the field right and get those long drives to where
Speaker 4: all of a sudden, one three and out gets you
Speaker 4: in trouble, like, oh, three and out. Now they go
Speaker 4: on another nine play drive and they put up some points.
Speaker 4: Now you fourteen points down and you're trying to figure
Speaker 4: out what to climb back in the game. What I
Speaker 4: don't want to do is have those ten plus play
Speaker 4: drives repeatedly, have our defense on the field session and
Speaker 4: all of a sudden, like every every offensive possession now
Speaker 4: is one where you gotta go down there and score
Speaker 4: because we can't figure out a where to get them outfit.
Speaker 4: That makes me nervous. Those big plays, them hurt, man
Speaker 4: them hurt. But if our offense is rolling, I'd rather
Speaker 4: have a shootout where we're just going back and forth.
Speaker 2: Then like, hey, like defense, what we doing? What were
Speaker 2: doing that?
Speaker 4: That's that's where I kind of stand on that. But
Speaker 4: I do feel you on the that's I mean, Church,
Speaker 4: that's a great point. And obviously it's just death by
Speaker 4: a thousand cuts which way you want to?
Speaker 2: All right? Do you want them to run the ball,
Speaker 2: take a ball, control field position, all of that.
Speaker 4: You never get an opportunity to get your offense back
Speaker 4: on it because they got those slow methodical drives or
Speaker 4: do you want to give up you know, four or
Speaker 4: five five yards on first down, bring up second and
Speaker 4: short in which we've seen them being able to do,
Speaker 4: get a bunch of yards and put us our defense
Speaker 4: and dan Quinn's play calls and ability in a bad situation.
Speaker 4: But either way, we got a couple more days for
Speaker 4: your other boys.
Speaker 5: That at one point in time, they played the Patriots
Speaker 5: and it was a twenty six to twenty eagle win.
Speaker 5: They ran the ball and that was really what ended up.
Speaker 5: They they both basically at the same time possession, but
Speaker 5: they ran the ball, and Bill Belichick ran the ball
Speaker 5: against them too. I just think that's what they want
Speaker 5: to do. They want to go ahead, shorten the football
Speaker 5: game and then hit you with a you know, hit
Speaker 5: you with DeVante or hit you at aj Brown on
Speaker 5: a big play. But that whole thing is based on
Speaker 5: them running. And that to me is if you shut
Speaker 5: that thing down, I'll take my chances with everything else.
Speaker 5: And you know what, make Hurts pass, get a lead,
Speaker 5: make a pass, and let's see what he has. He had.
Speaker 5: Remember he got hurt the last game. We don't know
Speaker 5: exactly where he's going to be and I could tell
Speaker 5: you as a DeAndre Swift fantasy football manager, dude that
Speaker 5: had it and healthy. He wasn't where he was.
Speaker 4: So let's take our last break, all right, take our
Speaker 4: last break when we come back. Now, you got to
Speaker 4: give us a little inside on what Jerry said today
Speaker 4: about one Shaq Leonard coming up next on the Players Lounge.

Speaker 1: the best chance to win, and now you know Jerry.
Speaker 5: Feels that way, So I ain't.
Speaker 1: I ain't put too much into it. You know, Shock
Speaker 1: chose that side, and you know he chose that SiGe
Speaker 1: chose that. You won't choose your side. Got the brus
Speaker 1: They got three They got three cues up there. Man,
Speaker 1: I'm sure they made him feel at home and said
Speaker 1: come on here. And the the.
Speaker 5: Hardcore truth is based on what Jerry said and based
Speaker 5: on the history. Right now, Philadelphie does time proof of consistency.
Speaker 5: They have got it right now. If you're saying, who
Speaker 5: do you trust to give you a better shot to
Speaker 5: win right now, you have to say Philadelphia based on
Speaker 5: time proof of consistency.
Speaker 2: There it is putting your feet in Shock Leonard's shoes
Speaker 2: like you should be.
Speaker 9: You chop on that side, man, I tell you what, man,
Speaker 9: I'll tell you got the family members, and.
Speaker 2: I'll just ask you that you ain't right. My name
Speaker 2: name Shaq, and I played for the Game Boy. I
Speaker 2: know when I walked up in it.
Speaker 4: If I would have walked up into the Star, all right,
Speaker 4: and I saw all this stuff around here, I'm a
Speaker 4: Texas boy, all that stuff, there wasn't no way I.
Speaker 2: Was getting up out it. He wouldn't leave it, nah,
Speaker 2: because this this is what I know.
Speaker 4: And I've always said this, last year's team and results
Speaker 4: have nothing to do with this current year, all right.
Speaker 4: So yes, Philly did go to Super Bowl last year,
Speaker 4: all that stuff. Things changed all the time, all right.
Speaker 4: So and I'm biased because I played for the Cowboys
Speaker 4: and I know what we have here. I know everything
Speaker 4: that's around here. I know texts, I know all that stuff.
Speaker 4: So for me, it's a little different. If he felt
Speaker 4: that way, then he felt that way. The good thing
Speaker 4: about it is in a few days we get to
Speaker 4: see everybody get the opportunity to say, yeah about that,
Speaker 4: about that chance you thought you had, player or he
Speaker 4: leaving the door open and say if it don't work
Speaker 4: out there, bro, we really like it, you come on back.
Speaker 4: Because we know that that deal is short. What kind
Speaker 4: of checklist would you have made? I mean as far
Speaker 4: as like coaches like to finalize your decisions as a
Speaker 4: free agent, being able to make that decision.
Speaker 1: Wait, you're talking about like free free agency. Yeah, go
Speaker 1: to the highest better. It didn't go to I ain't.
Speaker 5: I ain't get none of that, but.
Speaker 2: It wasn't but it wasn't the money issue. So so
Speaker 2: now where you're at.
Speaker 1: So if it's not a money issue, then there's no
Speaker 1: you know, I've been all around all except for for Vegas,
Speaker 1: but I haven't been there yet.
Speaker 5: But there's there's no facilities like there is here.
Speaker 1: Like it's there's not even close to what they got here.
Speaker 1: With the Cowboys, you're talking about first class mills, every
Speaker 1: traveling anywhere anywhere. There's just there's nothing like it here.
Speaker 1: So man, if you're going by just that, then you
Speaker 1: got to come here. But like for me, what you
Speaker 1: wanted me to say something, I ain't saying nothing different.
Speaker 2: I love the Cowboys right here. That tell me coming in,
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 4: What it's a problem for me to respect Jalen Hurts.
Speaker 4: Is that an issue? Everybody got a problem with me
Speaker 4: saying that I respect what Jalen Hurts has been.
Speaker 2: It's just crazy quarterback.
Speaker 4: I gotta I gotta hate them because I played for
Speaker 4: the Cowboy and don't you don't have noh, he not
Speaker 4: beating me.
Speaker 2: Crowd out there.
Speaker 5: I'm with you. I'm with you one hundred percent. Look
Speaker 5: and if anything, they should show the Cowboys and Jerry. Okay,
Speaker 5: here's even right. You need to push yourself back into
Speaker 5: that conversation because there was a time when it was
Speaker 5: not a choice. It was the Cowboy. If the Cowboys call,
Speaker 5: you went there, the Niners call, you went there. It's
Speaker 5: not that way anymore. So how do you get it
Speaker 5: back that way? You got to go out and win,
Speaker 5: Go out and take this thing and show people, all right, boom,
Speaker 5: here's the respect. I just watched it with the Texas Rangers.
Speaker 5: You know what, they got respect now, and that's how
Speaker 5: you go get go take it. That whole thing is like,
Speaker 5: go take it. The same thing for the Cowboys.
Speaker 2: You got them this week.
Speaker 5: They're here. This is a this is a a must
Speaker 5: dog on win game.
Speaker 4: In my opinion, that's what we need to do. We
Speaker 4: gotta get the shirts to say go take it. We
Speaker 4: need to go take your shirts off.
Speaker 5: Your next door in Army's just going there. Hey guys,
Speaker 5: it was lucking around.
Speaker 2: Here, So hey, a question for y'all, will we get
Speaker 2: out here?
Speaker 4: What is the price going up for serviceable backup quarterbacks
Speaker 4: based off what you saw last like because usually like
Speaker 4: it was like, hey man, your back up quarterback, especially
Speaker 4: what if Matt Castle was here and your backup quarterback
Speaker 4: in in and you know, the whole season's over with.
Speaker 4: But then lately you've been seeing backup quarterbacks get in
Speaker 4: the game and be able to then keep their teams
Speaker 4: in the game and then playoff condition as well.
Speaker 2: So them backup.
Speaker 4: Quarterback positions that you used to have where the dudes
Speaker 4: used to be like I'm gonna sit back here for
Speaker 4: five six years, you know, and just collect my check.
Speaker 4: Those days are on their way out of the door.
Speaker 5: I say no, because we all saw what Cooper Rush
Speaker 5: did for Dak last year. There were no office for him. Yeah,
Speaker 5: this guy came back here. I was surprised. I thought
Speaker 5: he'd be gone. So clearly this league is full of
Speaker 5: some folks who truly don't know what they're doing as
Speaker 5: far as personnel evaluations. Because when I seeing the quarterbacks
Speaker 5: that are rolling up, like who and Cooper Rush. You
Speaker 5: saw what he did on Sunday night football beat a
Speaker 5: dog on good Minnesota team on a Sunday night. I mean,
Speaker 5: this guy's got it and it's not just one He's
Speaker 5: done it over several years and he's been developed by
Speaker 5: Mike McCarthy here. Why wouldn't you go get him? I
Speaker 5: don't know, I do I do that, especially the Giants.
Speaker 5: Giants had him one years, you had him one Year's true,
Speaker 5: but so I don't. I don't think they're smart enough.
Speaker 5: But I'll say this, boy, if you're a Cowboy fan,
Speaker 5: be happy with what they've done with Cooper Rush. And
Speaker 5: if Cooper Rush decides to leave after the season, you
Speaker 5: should feel good that they're they're trying to progress with
Speaker 5: Trey Lance in the same way they did with Cooper Rush.
Speaker 5: They got a good program as far as developing quarterbacks
Speaker 5: around here, and that even goes back to Dak Prescott.
Speaker 5: They know they don't have develop some quarterbacks around here well.
Speaker 4: And it ain't bad to step into a situation where
Speaker 4: you got t Higgins and Jamar Chayes. I mean, I'm
Speaker 4: just saying when you step into a situation like that,
Speaker 4: that will make you look good Man as pretty mister
Speaker 4: eve Elevant he stepped in.
Speaker 5: Look at what he does got him off for the
Speaker 5: VP anyway.
Speaker 4: And also my man Jalen Hurst, it's just Tuesday. It's
Speaker 4: just Tuesday. We got everybody can't do it. They make
Speaker 4: you believe that everybody can do it.
Speaker 2: They do it.
Speaker 4: Everybody. Everybody can't do it. Church and hey on behalf
Speaker 4: of everybody on the show. I think your quarterback takes
Speaker 4: we go. We're gonna have tole jail with you. Man.
Speaker 2: Let's go. That's the players. We'll see. We'll see y'all tomorrow.
Speaker 4: Man.
