Speaker 2: got people to do that for you.
Speaker 4: No, I just call No, it's just just move hit
Speaker 4: this button, take the money out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just moved on. How it goes now. No, you
Speaker 2: guys will be proud of me.
Speaker 7: First thing I did website changed to twenty twenty five. Hey,
Speaker 7: that was like at twelve o'clock. I was like, I
Speaker 7: have nothing better to do.
Speaker 4: Change the website dates ceremonious.
Speaker 6: Yeah that's awesome.
Speaker 2: I thought you were doing with some watch and K
Speaker 2: terror type thing like.
Speaker 8: I was just like, I got nothing better to do.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I might as well just flip it to no
Speaker 2: one invited me to. Poor Josh. After you did that,
Speaker 2: did you like jump up in freezing midair?
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, we did it.
Speaker 8: Got nothing better to do it than work.
Speaker 2: Oh man.
Speaker 5: Now, hope everybody had a safe, happy holiday, have some
Speaker 5: happy New Year and a great start to the new year.
Speaker 2: That's the thing, is it.
Speaker 5: New Year's resolutions are always I think for the most part,
Speaker 5: they're kind of cliche. But you can still change your
Speaker 5: your mindset on things, and there's no better way to
Speaker 5: do that than to have a starting point, having a
Speaker 5: January first. I don't think a lot of times new
Speaker 5: Year's resolutions can get a little silly if you don't
Speaker 5: take it seriously. But if you take it seriously and
Speaker 5: you really want to take a resolution and run with it,
Speaker 5: I'm all for it.
Speaker 2: I think it's great.
Speaker 5: So my resolution is to be better at communication. I'm
Speaker 5: bad at that, so I'm gonna try and be better
Speaker 5: at community, especially since the babies came.
Speaker 2: Communications rough. I'm not around my phone as much.
Speaker 4: I was going to say so, considering what you do
Speaker 4: for a living, the communicating communication, right, being a bit
Speaker 4: of a downside, not downside, but opportunity for improvement, kind
Speaker 4: of an oxymoron.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, Actually it's mostly communication with others and family.
Speaker 8: It is kind of yeah, being the one to reach.
Speaker 2: Out man, you and not communicate very well, done right,
Speaker 2: very well, You're done right.
Speaker 5: Yeah, big day for you dogs play to night.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but yeah, I'd be remiss if I first didn't,
Speaker 4: you know, offer my prayers and condolences to New Orleans
Speaker 4: and you know, the families for those who relatives of
Speaker 4: the lives lost in that terror attack on yesterday. So
Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, we will get to the football here today,
Speaker 4: and I'm excited to get to the football. But I
Speaker 4: know there are a lot of fans of both sides,
Speaker 4: the Irish and the Dogs, who were as I was
Speaker 4: reading on Twitter, upset that the game was moved. I
Speaker 4: had no issue with it whatsoever. Let's just not be insensitive.
Speaker 4: Life is bigger than football. We will get to the
Speaker 4: football when it's time to get to the football. So yeah,
Speaker 4: so today three o'clock Central Town. You know, we get
Speaker 4: it all.
Speaker 8: Are you doing media mash at three o'clock?
Speaker 2: Absolutely not, Chris, Oh you're not. Yeah.
Speaker 8: Eatman said that you were going to do that.
Speaker 2: Wait, fire me.
Speaker 6: For this one.
Speaker 5: For this one shows it's not happening, but it's not happening.
Speaker 2: Taking it serious.
Speaker 5: Here's the thing is, if Nick Eatman was put in
Speaker 5: the same exact scenario and it was the Arkansas Razorbacks
Speaker 5: that were in the college football playoffs, finally you would
Speaker 5: say the same thing. It'd be like, no, yeah, so
Speaker 5: I completely get it all. Right, Let's get into some
Speaker 5: news and notes. Cowboys had some Pro Bowl nods today.
Speaker 4: We did have some information coming over from five Cowboys
Speaker 4: who not only are getting Pro Bowl nots, but are
Speaker 4: returning to the Pro Bowl, Cavante Turpin and Brandon Aubrey.
Speaker 4: The XFL experiments gone wonderfully successfully. They both are returning
Speaker 4: to the Pro Bowl for the second year in a row,
Speaker 4: which is fantastic for them because they've only been in
Speaker 4: the league for two years. For Brandon Aubrey, that makes
Speaker 4: him the first kicker in Cowboys franchise history to ever
Speaker 4: go to back to back Pro Bowls, and that is
Speaker 4: actually mind blowing when you consider some of the names
Speaker 4: some of the right foots that have kind of walked
Speaker 4: through here, Dan Bailey being the most recent legend that
Speaker 4: walked through. So shouts out to those guys. Michael Parsons,
Speaker 4: he gets another Pro Bowl nod. Ceedee Lamb. You talk
Speaker 4: about someone who could not deserve it more. Ceedee Lamb
Speaker 4: and what he went through and put on the field
Speaker 4: and put on tape and put in the locker room
Speaker 4: leadership wise for the Cowboys with one bad armed shoulder
Speaker 4: barely attached to his body. Shouts out to him and
Speaker 4: Tyler Smith, the lowe offensive lineman for the Cowboys, who
Speaker 4: got another nod. But Tyler Smith, he was a manchild
Speaker 4: again this year. He was the stabilizing force when you
Speaker 4: talk about the flux due to injury at left tackle,
Speaker 4: the Zach Marer in situation at right guard. Is it
Speaker 4: brock Hoffman, is it TJ? Bass t? Terrence Steele had
Speaker 4: a rough start before he finally kind of got going.
Speaker 4: It was Tyler Smith who was basically handling his business
Speaker 4: for the majority of the game and if nearly of
Speaker 4: the season, And if you don't believe me, go ask
Speaker 4: Vida Vea if Tyler Smith should be a pro bowler.
Speaker 4: So Turping Aubrey take that year, that Turping Aubrey parts.
Speaker 2: I did that on purpose, Lavin Smith.
Speaker 4: All Pro bowlers, all deserving and will likely see some
Speaker 4: alternates as well as injuries and guys kind of pull
Speaker 4: out pause because they're in the playoffs and things like that.
Speaker 4: So that is one of the headlines we'll kind of
Speaker 4: go down before we finished with the explosive one. Cowboys
Speaker 4: signed three on yesterday. They signed Luke Barkoo, who is
Speaker 4: a cornerback. Household name, household name. He went to school
Speaker 4: at Well. He was undrafted in twenty twenty of the
Speaker 4: Jacksonville Jaguars. But if you know anything about that particular
Speaker 4: draft of bark who was one of the names that
Speaker 4: had a lot of interest coming out. Offensive guard Jack Anderson,
Speaker 4: Plaino native went to you know, high school out here
Speaker 4: in Frisco, so he's a homecoming for him. And then
Speaker 4: Ernest Brown, which is a defensive end. He won a
Speaker 4: Super Bowl with the Los Angeles Rams, so he does
Speaker 4: bring some experience here. Former what is it, fifth round
Speaker 4: pick of the Los Angeles Rams before getting a trophy
Speaker 4: in a ring with them, Aubrey, Texas native. All right,
Speaker 4: and he went to school out in Ditton, your neck
Speaker 4: of the Woods's care. So we got two homecomings for
Speaker 4: the Cowboys, got a cornerback, of defensive end and offensive guard.
Speaker 4: And for anyone wondering, you know why sign these guys now? Well,
Speaker 4: as the season is about to in effective next week,
Speaker 4: futures deals can be secured by the Cowboys. So these
Speaker 4: are guys who are going to get a shot this
Speaker 4: offseason to try to stick with the roster. Now what
Speaker 4: head coach will they be playing for, We don't know.
Speaker 4: What are the assistant coaches? We don't know, But that's
Speaker 4: Those are storylines that will wrap themselves up hopefully in
Speaker 4: the next several weeks or so, and now several days
Speaker 4: hopefully hopefully. And now for the bombshell, Ezekiel Elliott. This
Speaker 4: happened on New Year's Eve, so I will say Happy
Speaker 4: New Year's because it was his request. So Ezekiel Elliott
Speaker 4: requested to be released on New Year's Eve and the
Speaker 4: Cowboys honored it. So for the second time, and I
Speaker 4: love numerology, for the second time in exactly twenty one months,
Speaker 4: the Cowboys and Elliott. Yeah, Cowboys and Ezekiel Elliott are
Speaker 4: parting ways.
Speaker 2: He cleared waivers yesterday, so he is free to sign with.
Speaker 4: Any team that will have him going into the playoffs.
Speaker 4: So if there's a playoff team that needs a running
Speaker 4: back for whatever reason injury depth, Ezekiel Elliott is now
Speaker 4: on the market. Now what does that mean for evaluation
Speaker 4: purposes for Washington Commanders? Do we see a lot more deuce?
Speaker 4: Do we see Hunter lip keep get back in the mix?
Speaker 4: Do we see an elevation from Alik Davis to kind
Speaker 4: of get him some burn because he's had any burn
Speaker 4: it all this season? Just makes it a little bit
Speaker 4: more interesting. But yeah, So, former two time NFL rushing champion,
Speaker 4: one of the most productive Cowboys running backs in history,
Speaker 4: for the second time in less than two calendar years,
Speaker 4: is back on the fruit market.
Speaker 2: Stand back, He's making faces, he has.
Speaker 6: He said one word this entire show.
Speaker 7: Fair enough, But I gotta ask, if you're a playoff team,
Speaker 7: you're kicking the tires on them.
Speaker 4: I think it really depends on the type of team
Speaker 4: that you are and what is it that you're looking for.
Speaker 4: What role are you looking for him to feel? Are
Speaker 4: you looking for somebody to come in and be a
Speaker 4: good blocking back? Then I think that's the guy that
Speaker 4: you go with. He does a good job past you
Speaker 4: are fighting. It's not Friday, say for tomorrow is our
Speaker 4: last Friday of the year.
Speaker 2: I gotta you know, I gotta build up for it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think, I mean, it really depends on the
Speaker 4: team needs. I personally can't foresee a team needing his services.
Speaker 4: As I look at the look forward into the outlook
Speaker 4: of these teams that are a playoff bound, I think
Speaker 4: of one team that may be interested.
Speaker 2: Who is that?
Speaker 9: Can we talk about?
Speaker 4: There's one that comes to I mean, he's a free agent,
Speaker 4: so yeah, I mean the only playoff team that I
Speaker 4: could potentially foresee would be a Detroit.
Speaker 8: That's exactly what Montgomery.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but he's almost back to the world. I mean,
Speaker 4: from what I'm hearing, he's working towards it. So I mean,
Speaker 4: what insurance possibly, I mean it's possibly. I mean it's
Speaker 4: it's it's a depth move.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so I would end up being anyways, but in
Speaker 5: times he's going to take an RB one.
Speaker 4: Spot in all of these But I mean, I don't
Speaker 4: see a team in need of the running contributions from
Speaker 4: the running.
Speaker 2: Back picking up Ezekiel Elliot. I don't foresee that.
Speaker 4: I could only see it as a practice squad insurance signing. Yeah,
Speaker 4: he's I don't see him taking anyone's active spot. He
Speaker 4: wants a ring before he retires. Yeah, that's that's what
Speaker 4: this is about. Do you very clearly here, here's here's
Speaker 4: a conversation. I'm interested in you guys thought process because
Speaker 4: it popped in my head. How far or phrase it
Speaker 4: this way? How close are we to Ezekiel Elliott call
Speaker 4: it in a career.
Speaker 10: This year that I think this is this is why
Speaker 10: he's asking to be released.
Speaker 6: It's either this.
Speaker 5: Year or next year. There's there's only two, and I
Speaker 5: think it's probably this year.
Speaker 4: It's the only the only justification that I have for
Speaker 4: him wanting to be released. He's like, Okay, this season
Speaker 4: is done. I necessarily haven't been that welcomed here.
Speaker 2: It might stay.
Speaker 4: Hasn't been great, right, I've caused some some issues while
Speaker 4: being here last week in the season. Go ahead and
Speaker 4: cut me so I can go bandwagon it and get
Speaker 4: a ring and call my.
Speaker 2: Career a rap.
Speaker 10: That's that's what my thought process is with this.
Speaker 4: I can't I'm not going to put that on him,
Speaker 4: but I'm that's what I'm perceiving.
Speaker 7: Outside of past blocking, though, do you see him contributing
Speaker 7: in an of the other fashion outside.
Speaker 2: Of that's it. That's what I mean.
Speaker 4: It's a supermergency. It's a break glass emergency running back.
Speaker 4: I mean, but I'd imagine that most of these teams
Speaker 4: have a running back on their roster on the practice
Speaker 4: squad already that they probably feel good about.
Speaker 2: But if they don't, then you have a veteran.
Speaker 4: Who knows, you know, all the defenses, he knows how
Speaker 4: to protect.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's what I'm saying. That's the value. I
Speaker 2: don't see him. He hasn't done.
Speaker 4: Anything here this year to prove his running ability as
Speaker 4: valuable for another team that or that's playoff bound.
Speaker 7: No, really doesn't have that burst anymore. It looks worse
Speaker 7: than he did in New England last year, which I
Speaker 7: thought was going to be a sticking point this year
Speaker 7: was like, okay, well let's bring that, Let's bring a
Speaker 7: receiving type Zeke into the fold, and it just didn't.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 4: I was curious because Detroit was who popped in my
Speaker 4: head first with a Montgomery injury. And yeah, like I said,
Speaker 4: practice squad insurance. But I think the same would be
Speaker 4: said for Skip Pete. And so if Tampa gets into
Speaker 4: the playoffs, I just looked at their practice squad situation.
Speaker 4: The only running back they have on their practice squad
Speaker 4: is DJ Williams, and I don't think DJ williams presence there.
Speaker 2: Will be enough for Skip Pete.
Speaker 4: With the familiarity he has with Ezekiel a l to
Speaker 4: four Golds, I think that's the reason why he wouldn't
Speaker 4: sign him.
Speaker 5: Think so, I don't know if they were particularly close. Yeah,
Speaker 5: like during his time here a lot of times and
Speaker 5: in the conversations would Skip Pete back. Whenever he was
Speaker 5: in Dallas. He wanted to get Tony Pollard more involved,
Speaker 5: and there was more of a there was more of
Speaker 5: a forced hand at Ezekiel Elliott than there may have
Speaker 5: been for Tony Pollard at that time.
Speaker 2: So I don't know if.
Speaker 5: It if it fractured their relationship, but I don't know
Speaker 5: if they were.
Speaker 4: Necessarily like Buds, I would think that his familiarity would
Speaker 4: work against him in that regard.
Speaker 2: And so you're saying what he's saying.
Speaker 7: Yeah, all that being said, there's nobody else more on
Speaker 7: his side than Jerry Jones. What Jerry Jones said about
Speaker 7: Zeke obviously has a lot of respect for him, with
Speaker 7: a lot of love for the player that he is
Speaker 7: and what he can provide to a team leadership wise.
Speaker 7: But obviously you know they're doing it because you know,
Speaker 7: even McCarthy said, like, he deserves it. If he's requesting this,
Speaker 7: he deserves to get what he wants in that regard.
Speaker 7: So it was interesting to see a Jerry Jones statement
Speaker 7: out of that because you know that a player that
Speaker 7: didn't necessarily impact your team statistically throughout the entire season
Speaker 7: to get a statement from Jerry Jones, the owner, and
Speaker 7: it says a lot about his character.
Speaker 5: And also not to mention I put this on Twitter
Speaker 5: when the news broke, but the fact that Zeke came
Speaker 5: back in the first place, the fact that he returned
Speaker 5: to Dallas took a different number, took a second role completely,
Speaker 5: at least from the outside looking in, was okay being
Speaker 5: that second back because it seemed like that was the
Speaker 5: case from the get go. I know there was kind
Speaker 5: of a back and forth between him and Dowdell early on,
Speaker 5: but very much so that changed into Dowbdele. The fact
Speaker 5: that he came back and showed it shows how much
Speaker 5: he did enjoy being here and the guys that are
Speaker 5: around him. Of course, you know the relationship that he
Speaker 5: has with Dak, the relationship he has with.
Speaker 2: Some of those other guys in the locker room.
Speaker 5: So I will always appreciate Ezekiel. And we did the
Speaker 5: whole Goodbye Zeke the first time that he was released
Speaker 5: twenty one months ago, so I don't think it's as
Speaker 5: ceremonious now, but it doesn't change what he did for
Speaker 5: this organization. I heard somebody on the radio the other day.
Speaker 5: I'm not going to say which station. Somebody on the
Speaker 5: radio the other day was like, man, what did he
Speaker 5: even do? What was his most memorable time with the Cowboys?
Speaker 5: I was like, you obviously did not watch Prime Zeke.
Speaker 5: I was like, tell me you didn't watch Prime ze
Speaker 5: without watching Prime Z, which he was a two time
Speaker 5: reising leader. He was one of the more elusive and
Speaker 5: incredible and explosive backs in all of football, and even
Speaker 5: up until the end of his first tenure with the Cowboys,
Speaker 5: he was one of the best past protection backs, one
Speaker 5: of the best red zone backs. He did a lot
Speaker 5: of things for this organization, including seventy one touchdowns.
Speaker 7: Worth which led to him sort of breaking down physically,
Speaker 7: yes towards the end of it.
Speaker 2: And his frustrations this year.
Speaker 4: Notwithstanding, over the course of being one of the more
Speaker 4: dynamic beacks in not only the history of the franchise
Speaker 4: but in the history of the NFL, he was also
Speaker 4: mentoring guys like Tony polit and Rico daudle, getting them
Speaker 4: up to the point of performance that you're seeing right
Speaker 4: now from Tony polit in recodoubt so Ezekiel Elliott has
Speaker 4: his fingerprints all over the success of Rico o'dowdle this season.
Speaker 4: Not to take away from Rico's work, but if you
Speaker 4: go back when we were having these conversations two three
Speaker 4: years ago with ric o'dowdo asking him about the mentorship
Speaker 4: of Tony and Zeke, he gave all these reasons, all
Speaker 4: these things that he was kind of absorbing from Ezekiel
Speaker 4: Elliott to become a dynamic back in the NFL. So
Speaker 4: when you talk about influence in the locker room production
Speaker 4: on the field, the highlight reel right the fact that
Speaker 4: he kind of reset the whole running back market when
Speaker 4: the Cowboys took him and he showed that he was
Speaker 4: more than worth it. That's why you didn't see a
Speaker 4: sa Kwon Barkley get a high pick. So that had ramifications. So, yeah,
Speaker 4: let's admit two things can be true. Wildly unproductive reunion
Speaker 4: with the Cowboys in twenty twenty four, but don't let
Speaker 4: that draw strike through from what he actually meant. He
Speaker 4: is a ring of honor candidate in my eyes, So
Speaker 4: let's not dismiss Kennedy did candidate, not a lot, not
Speaker 4: a shoe in, not a lock. But that's that's definitely
Speaker 4: a rightful conversation.
Speaker 5: He was a very, very productive, very good back during
Speaker 5: his time in Dallas. Don't forget that just because of
Speaker 5: the last couple of years.
Speaker 2: I do believe that he will.
Speaker 4: I don't believe that he makes that request without knowing
Speaker 4: that he's going to get picked up.
Speaker 5: That's kind of what and the fact that he came
Speaker 5: from his agent to makes me think there's something out there.
Speaker 4: They Hey, if you guys get releaved, we'll pick you up.
Speaker 4: That's how I would foresee that going.
Speaker 5: Also, not to mention it gives him the option. He
Speaker 5: doesn't have to sign right now. He can sign whenever
Speaker 5: he wants because he's an unrestricted free agent.
Speaker 4: So there will be another reunion. It'll be the one
Speaker 4: day contract thing, is.
Speaker 8: What when he finally decides.
Speaker 4: Yeah, when he decided to retire, and he'll get a
Speaker 4: one day contract thing and the whole press conference because
Speaker 4: he didn't get to the Jason Witten treatment first time around,
Speaker 4: so I think they'll give him the Jason Jason Windrey.
Speaker 5: All right, when we come back, it's time to dive
Speaker 5: into a little bit of q B vision. We're going
Speaker 5: to preview the matchup with the Washington commander's taking a
Speaker 5: look at what dan Quinn's bringing from the defensive side
Speaker 5: of the ball, and then after that we'll flip to
Speaker 5: the offense. See what the Cowboys offense or excuse me,
Speaker 5: see what the with the Tampa or the Washington offense.

Speaker 5: the rope Jaded Daniels.

Speaker 3: Why Eddie, why Eddie put up.
Speaker 1: It's time for QB Vision with Isaiah's stand back.
Speaker 4: All right, guy, we're back for the last QB Vision
Speaker 4: of the twenty twenty fourth season.
Speaker 2: Sir twenty five.
Speaker 10: Now, I guess we have to put the slash in there.
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's coming to an end.
Speaker 2: It is coming to an end. It's kind of whack. Honestly,
Speaker 2: we get a whack. I mean three straight years we
Speaker 2: had playoff talk around here. Yeah, three straight years. You
Speaker 2: want to talk about getting boiled?
Speaker 13: Yeah, talking about somebody's yelling what's going on on the
Speaker 13: okay Beamer, I mean that he let me know something
Speaker 13: going on.
Speaker 6: And tennis are up all the way in a box.
Speaker 2: The last case of glass I got you. Thank you, brother,
Speaker 2: appreciate you. We know this defense too well.
Speaker 4: Right, It's it's not a whole lot to add to
Speaker 4: what we've done recently. This is a team that you
Speaker 4: beat last time that you faced them. They only you
Speaker 4: only gave up one sack and it was against one
Speaker 4: of the Bama boys because the other Bama boy was gone.
Speaker 2: You guys know who I'm talking about. Pain. Yeah, mister
Speaker 2: mister Paine, uh majia, my name is waiting for pain.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so one of the Bama Boys was gone, but
Speaker 4: that was the last time that you faced them.
Speaker 2: Correct, Duran Payne had a sack cool.
Speaker 4: We talked about the potential of the Bama Boys coming
Speaker 4: back together, right, the bands back together again.
Speaker 2: Do you guys know when that occurred? When they started
Speaker 2: to winning again. You're just happened.
Speaker 4: These guys are back. The Bama Boys are back. So
Speaker 4: you're your worries that you have on the defensive front
Speaker 4: are back. Unless unless dan Quinn is gonna be plan
Speaker 4: on sitting his guys.
Speaker 2: We don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 4: We don't know that, but let's just let's just act
Speaker 4: as if these guys are gonna be there. You this
Speaker 4: is arguably the nastiest interior combo defensive line that you're
Speaker 4: gonna face in terms, I mean, we've this has been
Speaker 4: a conversation. We've seeing individuals individuals, but I'm talking about
Speaker 4: bass brothers. We're talking about Doron Payne and Jonathan Allen.
Speaker 4: Jonathan Allen is back.
Speaker 2: He is back.
Speaker 4: These guys are making nasty and when you throw in
Speaker 4: what Dante Fowler Junior is doing, you're throwing what Doris
Speaker 4: Armstrong is doing.
Speaker 2: It's a problem.
Speaker 5: Well, this looks like what Dan Quinn wanted to be
Speaker 5: exactly when he was signing those guys from Dallas and saying, Okay,
Speaker 5: I've already got the two guys on the INDs. I've
Speaker 5: already got the Bama Boys down wall. I need the
Speaker 5: guys on the edge. I need Dorin's Armstrong, need Dante
Speaker 5: Fowler Junior.
Speaker 2: You need to put somebody behind those guys.
Speaker 5: It's some linebacker help. They'll get there, may make a
Speaker 5: train like maybe like a lot of more time. You're
Speaker 5: talking about in the.
Speaker 6: Secondary, im talk about linebacker.
Speaker 4: You're gonna if you're gonna have two really good interior
Speaker 4: defensive linemen, yeah, you want to put a really good
Speaker 4: defensive and bookings.
Speaker 2: Off around them, which they've done. Got it.
Speaker 4: These guys have been productive. From George Armstrong, Dante Faller
Speaker 4: juniorr Dallas Cowboys from last year have been very productive.
Speaker 4: Maybe a future Hall of famer, maybe a future Hall
Speaker 4: of Famer at linebacker that's just.
Speaker 7: Been consistent for forty five.
Speaker 5: We had like one hundred and fifty tackles like each
Speaker 5: of the last twelves or something like that, like.
Speaker 4: Crazy, and then next to him, just put somebody with
Speaker 4: the name, we're here. Yeah. Anyways, these guys, we know
Speaker 4: what we know. Their front seven is nice. Okay, the
Speaker 4: front seven is nice. I haven't seen Marshawn Lattimore touch
Speaker 4: the field still, he's on there.
Speaker 2: He's out there. Yeah, he played last week.
Speaker 8: I don't know if it will be there this week.
Speaker 11: He was there last week and got injured, so he's
Speaker 11: on the sidelines again there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's yeah, that's it. Yeah, So not much
Speaker 2: going on.
Speaker 4: We know what they do in terms of the secondary
Speaker 4: coverage wise, these guys are gonna go and they're gonna
Speaker 4: pray press man. They're gonna play a little bit of
Speaker 4: Cover three mixed in there. They're eighty eighty percent of
Speaker 4: the time, they're gonna be single high.
Speaker 2: You're not gonna get anything crazy.
Speaker 4: The guy's up front kind of like what happened here,
Speaker 4: exactly what happened here here. But yeah, this but the
Speaker 4: defensive line allows for them to do whatever the heck
Speaker 4: they want to. And you have to deal with Jeremy
Speaker 4: Chin sitting in a dog on box, right, so he's
Speaker 4: gonna They're gonna take away the run game by having
Speaker 4: an eight man box. If you want to try to
Speaker 4: get them out of the past. You're gonna have to
Speaker 4: be able to throw yourself out of Manda Man coverage
Speaker 4: and you have no CD Lamb and your number one
Speaker 4: receivers Brandon cooks with Yeah he I don't know. So
Speaker 4: Cook had about one hundred and seventy seven attempts in
Speaker 4: the first two drives. Yeah, so he had a bunch
Speaker 4: of attempts last week and the first two drives they
Speaker 4: were trying to force them the narrative there, but somebody
Speaker 4: has to step up and never.
Speaker 2: Seen me game.
Speaker 4: You have to step up. But you're gonna have to
Speaker 4: do a versus Manda Man. So you're not gonna have
Speaker 4: the ability to sit back and be comfortable in the pocket.
Speaker 4: If these guys play, if you're depending on regardless of
Speaker 4: who our quarterback is going to be this week, they're
Speaker 4: gonna have to get the ball out on time and
Speaker 4: they have to be precise what they're passing because the
Speaker 4: coverage is gonna be sticky. We haven't seen our receivers
Speaker 4: show the ability to get off a sticky coverage outside
Speaker 4: of Ceed Lamb this year.
Speaker 2: That's the facts. That's not an indictment on them, It's
Speaker 2: just is what it is.
Speaker 5: Well, that was the conversation when Dak was playing quarterback,
Speaker 5: zero separation outside.
Speaker 2: Of a guy wearing number eighty eight, and there.
Speaker 5: Was tight windows to throw the football into. This late
Speaker 5: leading the turnovers and bad completion percentage and all sorts
Speaker 5: of things.
Speaker 2: That's that has changed. It's gotten better to a certain extent.
Speaker 5: But I'm not gonna jump out of the cake and say, hey,
Speaker 5: here's here's look at all these wide receivers that we
Speaker 5: love so much.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, don't do that. Don't no butt nicka today,
Speaker 2: not today.
Speaker 4: So yeah, in regards to just the report, I mean
Speaker 4: that's they're gonna do what we know that they're going
Speaker 4: to do. And I don't foresee them doing a lot
Speaker 4: of blitzing cause I don't think that they need to.
Speaker 4: I think that their front four is strong enough and
Speaker 4: nasty enough to get there. I think that if those
Speaker 4: gentlemen play Dante Fowler Junior and Durrance Armstrong didn't get
Speaker 4: sacks last time they played, they're going to want to
Speaker 4: get that. I truly think they're gonna want to get
Speaker 4: that regardless of what the qbdia. So I think those
Speaker 4: guys are going to be highly motivated and I think
Speaker 4: the Bama boys are going to look to get going
Speaker 4: as they work into the playoffs if they play again.
Speaker 2: This is if they play a thing.
Speaker 4: I can't foresee DQ keeping those guys out because I
Speaker 4: think that he wants them to have momentum going into
Speaker 4: the playoffs. But I think that they probably will be
Speaker 4: on a pitch count exactly.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you pull them out after the first or sayings,
Speaker 7: depending on how bad or good the game is going
Speaker 7: for either side. I think you did a good job
Speaker 7: though in highlighting what worked for us against Washington earlier
Speaker 7: in the year and what we don't have for this game.
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, it's it's going to be interesting.
Speaker 7: But I think the most important winner loss. I think
Speaker 7: the most important thing is like seeing what you can
Speaker 7: get out of the guys that you have on this team.
Speaker 10: Remember, so who will who will be year next year?
Speaker 7: Granted you're saying Brandon Cooks is a free agent next year,
Speaker 7: do you need to see him on the field.
Speaker 2: Really, he's going to want to play, he'll play.
Speaker 4: I get it, I get it, But and you don't,
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't need to see him. No, it's now,
Speaker 4: there's no evaluation that needs to happen on Brandon Cooks.
Speaker 4: But that being said, I could also foresee them looking
Speaker 4: at him and saying, yeah, we do want to try
Speaker 4: to go out on the high note. And as it stands,
Speaker 4: you are the best receiver in the room right now,
Speaker 4: so you know. And from a Brandon cook standpoint, he
Speaker 4: wants to go out on a high note because he's
Speaker 4: going back in the free agency in a few weeks.
Speaker 2: So I could see it happening.
Speaker 4: But it's it's and we were talking about this before
Speaker 4: we went live with the first segment. It's very difficult
Speaker 4: to do homework on a game where you don't.
Speaker 2: Know who's playing size not playing. I mean, we can
Speaker 2: only speculate on who.
Speaker 7: Right we assume that they're going to play.
Speaker 4: The commanders of fourteen guys listed on their injury report,
Speaker 4: sixteen guys, and fourteen of those guys with D and
Speaker 4: P yesterday, and a lot of those guys were you know,
Speaker 4: in ire not injury related rest. So at most I said,
Speaker 4: I could agree with Isaiah in that if you see
Speaker 4: any of the starters for the Washington Commander's pitch count,
Speaker 4: maybe they're pulled after the second series, maybe even after
Speaker 4: the first series, so they don't really know what you're
Speaker 4: going up against. But you do know that you don't
Speaker 4: have CD Lamb. You do know that Cooper Rush is
Speaker 4: as it stands. As it stands, Cooper Rush is going
Speaker 4: to be the starter. We will see if that changes.
Speaker 4: Jerry Jones and Mike McCarthy and Stephen Jones, they all
Speaker 4: want to see some Trey Lance. We don't know if
Speaker 4: that will happen. How much Tree Lance will we see?
Speaker 4: Will we see Willgrid? How much will Grid see? Even
Speaker 4: that goes into the capacity of you don't know who's playing,
Speaker 4: what the snapcount is going to be, what the splits
Speaker 4: are in any given position. So all you can say
Speaker 4: is just go out there and understand one thing in particular.
Speaker 4: Regardless of who Dan Quinn chooses to put on that field,
Speaker 4: could be his third, fourth string, doesn't matter. Dan is
Speaker 4: going to want to coach them to hell up because
Speaker 4: he wants revenge for what happened at Northwest Stadium.
Speaker 5: How much of a factor does that play, though.
Speaker 4: It plays a factor, but not enough that he in
Speaker 4: my opinion, not enough that he'd be willing to risk
Speaker 4: the postseason to get that revenge against the Cowboys and try.
Speaker 5: That's where I'm last week, because it's not like Dan
Speaker 5: Gunn had sour grapes with Dallas.
Speaker 2: That's not the case.
Speaker 5: He's very well respected here. He still has a lot
Speaker 5: of respect for the coaching staff here and you could
Speaker 5: see that by some of the players that he took
Speaker 5: with him to Washington. He had a great time in
Speaker 5: Dallas and that's why he has the job that he
Speaker 5: does with the Commanders.
Speaker 6: So no sour grapes there.
Speaker 5: Yes, does he want to come back and win his
Speaker 5: reunion the second time around and have a little bit
Speaker 5: of revenge for what was a wild fourth quarter.
Speaker 2: At Northwest Stadium.
Speaker 5: Absolutely, but he's not going to bet and wager his
Speaker 5: postseason possibilities by He's exactly.
Speaker 4: I just want to let people know what production you're
Speaker 4: missing this week, right from the last matchup, the last
Speaker 4: time you face them in a week twelve, Ceede Lamb
Speaker 4: was targeted twelve times.
Speaker 2: Ceedee Lamb was targeted twelve times. It's a lot. He
Speaker 2: had ten catches.
Speaker 5: It's a pro bowler, Yeah, twenty twenty four pro bowler,
Speaker 5: some guy that should be in the Pro Bowl.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you take him out of it, out of the equation.
Speaker 4: If you remove Ceede Lamb from the equation, like you
Speaker 4: will have him removed this week.
Speaker 2: Not good, Bob, you're you.
Speaker 4: Your next leading receiver was Luke Schoolmaker on three catches
Speaker 4: out of four attempts.
Speaker 8: I would love to see a lot of the touchdown.
Speaker 4: Maybe it was a touchdown, okay, all right, yeah, so
Speaker 4: that's what twisted.
Speaker 2: Everybody else is there?
Speaker 4: Everybody, everybody else who touched the ball is here in available,
Speaker 4: but you are missing that, right.
Speaker 2: That's a lot.
Speaker 5: I want to see more Luke this week. This would
Speaker 5: be a great Luke schoom Maaker week. I don't even
Speaker 5: see much of Jake Fergus I do. Really, Yeah, you're
Speaker 5: you're not. I mean, it's not going to change your
Speaker 5: evaluation of him going into next year.
Speaker 2: Has he made strides this year?
Speaker 10: No, I need to see him.
Speaker 5: But does it change the way you view him as a.
Speaker 10: Player, view him as a player. No, But there's a way.
Speaker 5: You could positively positively view Luke Schoomaker going into the office.
Speaker 8: I think there's a concern that you may have hit
Speaker 8: a ceiling.
Speaker 4: With all the other titles that made strides.
Speaker 10: Everybody else in that who has made strides, he has
Speaker 10: to remain stacks.
Speaker 5: Been banged up at different points throughout the year. So
Speaker 5: why was Michael Presser reset button was more of a yeah.
Speaker 8: I think there's not I agree with you.
Speaker 2: Actually, really there has been.
Speaker 6: That's not that's not what I'm marging.
Speaker 2: We're not saying there hasn't been a stick when you.
Speaker 6: Look at why would not?
Speaker 4: So why would you not need to see continue to
Speaker 4: see development out of him?
Speaker 2: Honestly because I'm already sold. I already know what you're.
Speaker 10: You're satisfied with you what you're getting out there.
Speaker 4: He has shown far far more positives than this down seats.
Speaker 4: So as far as the now we're talking risk will war, right,
Speaker 4: So what do you gain for? Okay, Jake Ferguson, he
Speaker 4: goes against the commanders and he goes off one hundred
Speaker 4: and fifty yards and three touchdowns. That's wonderful. That's fun,
Speaker 4: pretty fun, It would be wonderful. It's fun. But that
Speaker 4: doesn't take my current evaluation of Jake Ferguson as a
Speaker 4: player any higher than what it already was. Let's say
Speaker 4: he goes out there and you know, two catches for
Speaker 4: fifteen yards, it doesn't take it down. At this point,
Speaker 4: I am where I am with Jake Ferguson, which is
Speaker 4: extremely high on him. He had he regressed a little
Speaker 4: bit this season, but for several reasons. Right the offense
Speaker 4: couldn't get going in the first half of the season,
Speaker 4: and then he battles some injury. He came back from
Speaker 4: the springed MCL to a backup quarterback. They couldn't get
Speaker 4: the real chemistry going, He misses some time to the concussion,
Speaker 4: comes back.
Speaker 2: It's just been a weird season for Jake.
Speaker 8: My argument here, though, is that I don't.
Speaker 4: See more of Brevin span for I'm in that evaluation mode.
Speaker 4: I won't evaluate loom Loo tool maker.
Speaker 2: I want value Jake's player.
Speaker 4: Thirteen games, Okay, okay, thirteen games. He's had three games
Speaker 4: over seventy yards.
Speaker 7: He has not elevated the team. That's what I was
Speaker 7: going to say.
Speaker 4: I'm just that there's been a step back, but we
Speaker 4: were applying context to it, is what we're saying.
Speaker 7: Finish your thought, Josh, just in the sample size that
Speaker 7: you have from him this season, granted had been banged up,
Speaker 7: but when you've needed him most, when you didn't have
Speaker 7: the offensive rolling as you should have. Sure he has
Speaker 7: not elevated the team by any means he has not
Speaker 7: stepped up and had a great season despite all of
Speaker 7: the things that have happened. You've seen that from a
Speaker 7: lot of players that obviously this is not a great
Speaker 7: UH team this year, that they're they're not winning obviously,
Speaker 7: but you've had great performances from individual players. He has
Speaker 7: not done that.
Speaker 2: What I'll say is it feels like and I'll kind
Speaker 2: of spin off it.
Speaker 7: Sorry, but but if this season is a wash, totally
Speaker 7: understand and hope to see him do better next year.
Speaker 8: Like I said, though it's not been great.
Speaker 4: Also, keeping in mind now we're talking about the risk physically,
Speaker 4: because do you want to risk losing Jake Ferguson for
Speaker 4: to something that might cost him the beginning of the
Speaker 4: off season. But if that's the case, then you're saying
Speaker 4: with everybody who's gonna be here next year?
Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Like so like, but not
Speaker 2: everybody is a Pro Bowl potential. Care you're playing Tyler Smith,
Speaker 2: am I I don't, I wouldn't.
Speaker 4: Are you playing Cooper BB? Are you playing any of
Speaker 4: your other guys that are coming back for b because
Speaker 4: he's a rookie, So those are all contributors. Though, like
Speaker 4: those guys don't even come off the field. I mean
Speaker 4: to ask your question, No, I wouldn't play. So I'm saying,
Speaker 4: all those officer of lineen, they don't come off the field.
Speaker 4: So are you trying to talking about preserving your team?
Speaker 4: Don't playing none of your office of lineman?
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying like that, That's that's what
Speaker 2: I'm That's what I needs those reps. Tyler Gotton. We
Speaker 2: know he needs those reps, right, but Tom.
Speaker 6: Not mending on a table.
Speaker 4: If Zach Martin were healthy and he would, and this
Speaker 4: question was posed, I'd say no, you said, Zach Martin, Yeah,
Speaker 4: and you sit Tyler Smith and you would, I would
Speaker 4: sit Jake Ferguson.
Speaker 10: I think you know what you have in Jake Ferguson.
Speaker 2: Yeah you do.
Speaker 4: But to your point, and my point is as well,
Speaker 4: I did not see, regardless of the games that he missed,
Speaker 4: the three games that he missed, right, I have not
Speaker 4: seen the growth, the continue with the continued, And for
Speaker 4: that reason, I don't I don't know how you can
Speaker 4: can say that you that you've seen enough, because I've
Speaker 4: seen enough going into this season from him, and he's
Speaker 4: a pro bowler. To that point, and I believe that
Speaker 4: the shakeback for him comes when QB one gets back.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, that's yesterday.
Speaker 4: I looked Jordy Lewis in the face and I said,
Speaker 4: I think your coordinator proof. I think Jordan Lewis's coordinator proof. Okay,
Speaker 4: that spins over to Ceedee Lamb. Ceedee Lamb used to
Speaker 4: have downturns when Cooper Rush would be in the game, right,
Speaker 4: but now he has proven that he can be QB proof. Right,
Speaker 4: Jake hasn't proven yet that he can be QB proof.
Speaker 4: So in that capacity, fine, I get what you're saying.
Speaker 4: But for the amount of risk that's there for this
Speaker 4: particular game, nothing's going to have in this game that's
Speaker 4: going to change my outlook on Jake Ferguson. I still
Speaker 4: think that he has all pro ability. It just didn't
Speaker 4: happen this year. I believe he'll have a good shot
Speaker 4: at it happened in theation.
Speaker 2: So you talked about it real quick.
Speaker 5: Just to go back to your stat that you brought up,
Speaker 5: he's only had three games over seventy yards this year
Speaker 5: receiving from the tight end position. Right, you know how
Speaker 5: many plus seventy plus yard games the rest of the
Speaker 5: Cowboys team has had this year. I would rather evaluate
Speaker 5: the rest of the room because Jake Ferguson is my
Speaker 5: tight end one. No matter what next year, he is
Speaker 5: still tight end one, and that's not going to change.
Speaker 5: You spend a second round pick on Luke schoon Maker,
Speaker 5: and at times this year, Luke schoo Maker has taken.
Speaker 8: A step, especially with Cooper Rush.
Speaker 5: Right with Cooper Rush, he had that connection, he's had
Speaker 5: that chemistry, and he's had some reps, some reps because
Speaker 5: a lot of those once Ferguson returned, rightfully returned to Ferguson.
Speaker 5: I want to see Schoonmaker with more reps and see
Speaker 5: what he brings going into the offseason because I know
Speaker 5: whether or not he plays in Week eight or not,
Speaker 5: that Jake Ferguson is tight end one.
Speaker 6: That's where I'm evaluating.
Speaker 2: Understood, It's not.
Speaker 5: Necessarily about Jake Ferguson and his regression this year because
Speaker 5: he has he missed one game early in the year,
Speaker 5: two games late in the year for two completely separate injuries.
Speaker 5: So because of that, his statistics and his entire.
Speaker 10: Season, and you know what, I don't put all everything
Speaker 10: on stats.
Speaker 2: I don't I know you don't.
Speaker 6: But I'm evaluating the rest of I understand.
Speaker 4: But if we're going to lean on it, and from
Speaker 4: that perspective, I know he's going to be my my
Speaker 4: tight end one that everybody else that you know.
Speaker 2: Is going to be your number one.
Speaker 5: Sit them, okay, unless they need the rest. That's where
Speaker 5: I'm at. You need if you need reps. I would
Speaker 5: love to see Cooper bb.
Speaker 2: And get another game for me. Rookies need to play.
Speaker 2: But if you're not a rookie.
Speaker 4: Everybody, so every all the other onlinemen can can rest.
Speaker 5: Take Terrence Steele, take a seat on the bench for
Speaker 5: a little bit.
Speaker 2: Your biggest money guy. Sounds good on your office line
Speaker 2: to fit them? Okay, totally fine.
Speaker 6: I would love to see.
Speaker 2: Geidon the value.
Speaker 6: I would love to see Hoffman. I would love to
Speaker 6: see I would love to see all those.
Speaker 2: Well, let's go unleash them all. I want full evaluations.
Speaker 2: Josh Ball got plucked, so you can't play him. So
Speaker 2: he got picked up. Okay, I loved it for him.
Speaker 2: Oh good question. I have to go back and look.
Speaker 6: Let's take our second break.
Speaker 5: When we come back, let's flip it to the defensive
Speaker 5: side of the ball. What do you want to see
Speaker 5: from the Cowboys defense up against Washington's offense? Impossible offensive

Speaker 4: what I'm saying. That's maybe I've got straight into the
Speaker 4: That's what the smell is, straight into the bush and smell.
Speaker 2: You would know who?
Speaker 5: You would know if all the starters play.
Speaker 4: For the Washington Commanders, one offensive player, one defensive player.
Speaker 2: Who you guys most concerned about Terry McLaurin. That's my answer,
Speaker 2: drum pain. Yeah, one offense, one defense, one off one defense.
Speaker 5: You know what, I'm gonna throw a little wild card
Speaker 5: in there for you.
Speaker 2: On the defensive side.
Speaker 5: Jeremy Chin, who talked about him going into the last matchup.
Speaker 2: He's played really well this year.
Speaker 5: His worst game of the year on tape, by far
Speaker 5: was against the Dallas Cowboys, who he's ready. He's going
Speaker 5: to be coming downhill, repeat baby, if they play him,
Speaker 5: if they he played like absolute garbage.
Speaker 6: He played like garbage.
Speaker 5: Against the Cowboys the first time around. He was we
Speaker 5: got the number, Buddy, I'm worried he's going to turn
Speaker 5: it around.
Speaker 2: I'm worried about Drince Armstrong.
Speaker 10: I'm not Doris, but I'm gonnaant what.
Speaker 5: Is his sack total at now do you know playing?
Speaker 5: Dante Fowler Junior.
Speaker 4: Dante's eating, I mean he's he's eating something nasty.
Speaker 2: So he's at twelve, he's at how many? Ten and
Speaker 2: a half?
Speaker 5: Oh, I'm me, how meany can say one more time?
Speaker 2: I mean, he's my.
Speaker 5: He's at nine and a half, nine and a half
Speaker 5: different types of games. Ones played sixteen games, and well.
Speaker 2: I get it. It's still productive productive. Yes, that answers
Speaker 2: the question. Off.
Speaker 8: Mike is playing.
Speaker 2: Oh, he's playing. As soon as he gets one. Yeah,
Speaker 2: half a second, he's.
Speaker 6: Gonna pull that campboard. I'm done, guys.
Speaker 8: Thinks he's gonna pull Peter Griffin on.
Speaker 2: You see, like the cartoon hook and just come up.
Speaker 4: And just for a perspective, losing my dog anyways, just
Speaker 4: for perspective, if I can get back to it.
Speaker 2: Dante Fowler Jr.
Speaker 10: Okay, you guys feel like he was productive while.
Speaker 2: He was here? Yes?
Speaker 4: Sure, okay, absolutely two seasons with the Dallas Cowboys he
Speaker 4: had ten sacks total total.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's ten and a half this year. Rotation a rotation.
Speaker 2: I get it.
Speaker 4: And I'm saying, but you felt like he was productive,
Speaker 4: you guy? Yeah, he's rolling this year. He's he's a
Speaker 4: freaking I can't. I don't want to use that word
Speaker 4: right now. He's a Yeah, he's a he's a problem,
Speaker 4: he's a Well look.
Speaker 7: At Dorn's Armstrong buddy. All right, Look how much they
Speaker 7: paid him. Look how much he's doing.
Speaker 2: All right. Yeah, Durrance is playing being a cup Entry player.
Speaker 4: But Dante Faller Junior is being that guy because Carl
Speaker 4: Lawson d QR.
Speaker 2: Dorris Armstrong has five sacks this year. Yeah, Carlawson has
Speaker 2: five and a half.
Speaker 8: He's still in the year.
Speaker 2: Dante Faller Junior is doing some things. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yes, his his career high in the season was for
Speaker 4: the Rams at eleven and a half.
Speaker 2: That's when he was he was the man. He was balling.
Speaker 2: He's one sack away from that. Yeah, he might get
Speaker 2: that if he plays. Yeah, I'm just saying like, that's
Speaker 2: how impactful he's been this year.
Speaker 4: And it's nobody's talking about him, but I'm just bringing
Speaker 4: it to the table. That's the person I'm most concerned
Speaker 4: about that when he was at his Pro Bowl, Hey,
Speaker 4: everybody fear that man right there circle him on film.
Speaker 2: He's one sack away from that.
Speaker 6: And not to mention what you're saying.
Speaker 5: I completely agree with the nation is not taking notice
Speaker 5: Dante Faller Junior is did he even get a Pro Bowl? Not?
Speaker 2: You haven't seen it.
Speaker 6: That's crazy bad. Yeah, he should be a pro bowler. Yes, However,
Speaker 6: the nation's not taking advantage of it.
Speaker 5: If there was one fan base that right now is
Speaker 5: looking at him and saying, oh, there's what we saw
Speaker 5: glimpses of it's Dallas. Dallas. We like you said, he
Speaker 5: was productive here. Ten sacks over two seasons. He was
Speaker 5: everything you needed him to be behind Michael Parsons and
Speaker 5: DeMarcus Lawrence. But now that he's the featured guy, Dallas
Speaker 5: looks at him, says, yeah, that makes sense. Ten and
Speaker 5: a half sacks. That's not shocking in a dan Quinn system.
Speaker 6: So good for Dante. I'm glad he.
Speaker 2: Does a tenth season. It's impressive. Ever years, it's his
Speaker 2: tenth season.
Speaker 5: Wow, and he's able to look he turned back the
Speaker 5: clock like that.
Speaker 2: That's impressed. It's very impressive. So that's what I'm trying about.
Speaker 2: On the defense side of the ball.
Speaker 6: Offensively, who is it, who's your guy?
Speaker 4: You know, I might change my I I was with
Speaker 4: you on McLaurin. If Jayson he said, this is assuming
Speaker 4: everybody plays. Assume everybody plays.
Speaker 7: He's still he's we had a third string quarterback, absolutely
Speaker 7: terrorist apart last week.
Speaker 4: So because I mean, think about it in anotherwise, I mean,
Speaker 4: he's had the Cowboys weren't his only unfavorable game, but
Speaker 4: it's one of the few unfavorable games that he had,
Speaker 4: and it took all the way until the back end
Speaker 4: of the fourth quarter with that shot, that deep shot
Speaker 4: to McLaurin. Because if not for that deep shot to McLaurin,
Speaker 4: that stat line for Jaydon not good, not good, not great, Bob.
Speaker 4: So I think Jaydon Daniels, if he were to start,
Speaker 4: he'd have that chip on his shoulder to say, you
Speaker 4: know what, I gotta get this revenge before I end.
Speaker 2: Uh, here's the backup. What you got hand up.
Speaker 4: Us backup quarterback for Washington, isn't it, Mariotta?
Speaker 2: It is? We got back Heisman Heisman things I was
Speaker 2: gonna ask.
Speaker 4: And we were talking about Mike Zimmer the other day
Speaker 4: and were talking about how emotional he was in the
Speaker 4: press conference, and we.
Speaker 10: Can all I don't know, we can run on the wall, writing.
Speaker 2: On the walk type of deal.
Speaker 4: Right, I don't want to say that, but you said
Speaker 4: potentially might be his last game. Do you think he
Speaker 4: just empties all the all the attacks in thumbnails on
Speaker 4: the ground.
Speaker 2: That'd be awesome.
Speaker 5: I would love to see that, Yes, especially if if
Speaker 5: they want to.
Speaker 2: Play, the guy can't take it with them.
Speaker 4: So if this is in fact the final game, the
Speaker 4: final coaching game for Mike Zimmer, because I mean, honestly,
Speaker 4: like we talked about a couple of days ago, it
Speaker 4: sounds as if he's teetering on if he's done coaching period.
Speaker 4: If that's the case, you can't take this playbook cover zero.
Speaker 4: Everybody rain down.
Speaker 8: Hell yeah, I'm down to see it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, me too.
Speaker 6: All Right, that does it for us here on talking
Speaker 6: cowboys today. Nice job, everybody.
Speaker 2: QB vision was fantastic because it always that was aggressive.
