He's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:07.640 --> 0:00:19.000 and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. This he's Talking Cowboys, 0:00:19.440 --> 0:00:22.840 screaming live from the Dallas Cowboys World headquarters at the 0:00:22.920 --> 0:00:34.080 Star in Frisco. Stay here are Mickey Spagnola, Brian Brons, 0:00:34.560 --> 0:00:39.560 Rob Phillips, and Bill Jones, and welcome into Talking Cowboys 0:00:39.680 --> 0:00:43.559 inside the SWBC Mortgage studio here at the Star in Frisco. 0:00:44.040 --> 0:00:47.280 Rob Phillips filled in for Bill Jones, who's got his 0:00:47.400 --> 0:00:52.080 TV duties on Thursday every week. Mickey Spagnola to my right. 0:00:52.159 --> 0:00:55.000 Bryan brought us across the table, and we've got Caden 0:00:55.120 --> 0:00:59.480 producing next door. We had an open chair. We shouldn't 0:00:59.480 --> 0:01:02.240 invite some in. We do have an open chair. Good 0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:05.959 questions for everybody today. If that helps, let's yes, I 0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:07.960 bet we'll have good answers. I bet you will. That's 0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:09.800 some Sam. I'm gonna answer these questions along with you too. 0:01:09.840 --> 0:01:12.280 Mickey's very gory. That was my next question. A little 0:01:12.280 --> 0:01:15.160 bar game with all three of us answering questions. Game 0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:18.119 Mickey won't play. If it's a bar game. We'll get 0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:19.800 to that here, ye a little bit. I'm here for 0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:21.920 about forty five minutes as usual, if you want to 0:01:21.959 --> 0:01:24.160 give us a call. Eight eight five five two two 0:01:24.240 --> 0:01:29.319 ninety seven. Cowboys back to practice. I assume they're working 0:01:29.360 --> 0:01:34.319 indoors again. I would imagine a volume put full blast, 0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:38.520 getting ready for that Superdome noise, that's right, and it 0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:42.040 will be noisy at night. Tony Pollard told us yesterday 0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:45.000 he'd never played in the Superdome. By the way, at Memphis, 0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:47.400 they played two lane every year. I guess has never 0:01:47.400 --> 0:01:50.400 played there, but his teammates told him it's gonna be 0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:53.240 like a playoff environment, so get ready for it. Absolutely 0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:56.280 and they're absolutely right. I would expect nothing less from 0:01:56.320 --> 0:02:00.560 the New Orleans Natives. Let's uh, let's get it started 0:02:00.560 --> 0:02:03.560 with some news of the day and an interesting a 0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:06.240 big name that popped up on the injury report yesterday. 0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:09.640 What's y'all's update on a Marii Cooper, anything, Mickey or 0:02:09.760 --> 0:02:11.840 anything new. I've got something, but I mean yeah, it's 0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:16.240 I mean, they he's been dealing with something on that 0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:20.440 right foot for a while, and it looked like that 0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:25.040 he wasn't doing much early in practice, so it was like, okay, 0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:28.080 let's go get it checked out as a precautionary measure 0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:32.080 they did. It didn't show much of anything. So I 0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:34.680 think they just have to kind of get them through 0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:38.360 practice and get them through the week and be ready 0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:41.720 to play. I don't think they're nervous that you would 0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:45.840 be without a Marie Cooper and Michael Gallup. Yeah, Mickey's 0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:49.160 absolutely right. I just heard there was some soreness in 0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:51.720 the ankle. It's not the foot, and I heard it's 0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:54.440 opposite foot. It's not right foot. Yeah, it's not the 0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:57.120 one he was having problems. So there's this soreness in 0:02:57.160 --> 0:02:59.840 that ankle. And I know coach Garrett said foot and ankle. 0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:03.040 My guys were pretty specific about it's the ankle, right, 0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:05.960 So he came out of that and uh so again 0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:09.080 soreness dealing with that didn't appear to be anything structurally 0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:12.480 wrong or anything that he had before the tendons or 0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:16.239 any of that stuff. I'm not a doctor, but but it, 0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:19.359 like Mickey said, they're they're not at this point worried 0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:22.520 about it being something that that they're going to have 0:03:22.560 --> 0:03:25.200 to h to take a lot of time with the 0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:27.920 They're gonna be very cautious with him. He knows what 0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:29.440 he has to do. He knows what he has to 0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:31.560 do in this game. He's going to be vital to 0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:34.400 what they do in this football game. So that, you know, 0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:36.520 get him, get him ready, get him rested, get him 0:03:36.560 --> 0:03:38.360 ready to go. And I'm sure who'll go out there 0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:39.760 and play well for you. You know a lot of 0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:44.800 those guys. And I always remember Bill talking about this, 0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:48.760 those those football players that are thoroughbreds. Yeah, the guys 0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:50.920 that are like track stars. At anytime they get a 0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:54.640 little something, they get real finicky. But I was told 0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:57.760 that that's not this guy. He will practice and he 0:03:57.800 --> 0:04:01.520 will push through things. Yeah, but there was just some soreness. 0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:03.840 So it was like, okay, well, yeah, let's give him 0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:06.240 a break. You know, he didn't need to be out 0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:09.960 there doing the skeleton drills and running. Yeah, you know, 0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:12.360 he didn't need that, and he runs his All he 0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:15.440 had to do is look at his touchdown catch um, 0:04:15.480 --> 0:04:18.400 the first one on a little out, How he planted 0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:23.400 his feet and cut in and out without losing a step, 0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:27.360 no wasted motion. It was a thing of beauty. If 0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:29.360 somebody was doing a clinic, they ought to get that 0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:32.200 clip and say, okay, here's how you run the route. 0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:36.719 So yeah, I think he'll be I think he'll be fine. 0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:40.920 MRI results were negative, which is positive news. Yes, yeah, 0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:46.360 the negative positive thingative, especially thinking there's no gallop. I mean, goodness, gracious, 0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:49.839 that's that's where I go, because you have these two 0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:53.360 guys outside receivers with speed that can get separation. Now, 0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:56.760 Rydall Cobb has played outside before I think in Green Bay, 0:04:56.839 --> 0:04:59.919 yes he has, but you're missing two major pieces of 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:02.360 your offense. If Cooper wasn't able to go, doesn't sound 0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:03.920 like that's going to be the case, though. I think 0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:05.840 he'll be ready to go when we keep that thing 0:05:05.880 --> 0:05:08.240 up Sunday night. Anything else pop up from the injury 0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:10.480 report from yesterday that's surprised you. I think it kind 0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:12.120 of seems like status quo for some of the guys 0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:15.839 that have been out because yeah, but Woods practicing on 0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:18.440 a limited basis. So I think that's encouraging. And now 0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:21.760 you got to see how he reacted coming back again 0:05:22.520 --> 0:05:24.440 today and see what he's able to do. But I 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:27.080 think there's a chance that's he's you know, he may 0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:29.560 be good to go. Yeah, I'll have to see how 0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:32.000 he reacts. Yeah, I think Mickey's absolutely right about that. 0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:34.040 I think they wanted to work him in and just 0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:38.000 talking to some folks in the organization. Thompson got the 0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:42.320 work with the ones yesterday, but they worked They worked 0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:45.279 Woods in with the two, so he did get actual 0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:48.160 team work. Yes, mindful it was they called it limited, 0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:51.800 but he got a good share of work yesterday going forward. 0:05:51.880 --> 0:05:55.120 So you know, if he comes back today, comes in 0:05:55.200 --> 0:05:57.400 tells every hey, I feel pretty good. Let's see what happens. 0:05:57.680 --> 0:06:00.240 I think they're really happy with what Woods did, mean 0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:03.320 what Thompson did, So that's you know, they're gonna give 0:06:03.400 --> 0:06:06.080 him an opportunity. And but today it might be a 0:06:06.120 --> 0:06:08.560 whole different story. They might say, okay, Xavier, you feel 0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:10.840 good enough, or maybe tomorrow might be the day where 0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:12.480 they say, okay, go out there with the ones and 0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:15.000 see what you can do. But they're very mindful of 0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:17.480 these these injuries they have and bringing these guys back. 0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:19.920 I think it's a lot of credit to Britt Brown, 0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:22.280 Jim Mauer and those guys on the staff for what 0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:25.640 they've been able to do to get these guys healthy 0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:27.800 and back. In short, you know, we're here, you know, 0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:30.640 two to four weeks and you know him it's been now, 0:06:30.720 --> 0:06:33.359 it's it's gonna be maybe just two weeks. You're absolutely right, 0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:36.000 because that's not a fun injury. No, it's hard. It's 0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:38.000 hard to give the kid. Give the kid credit to 0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:40.840 for for for being showing toughness and wanting to be 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:42.839 out there and play through it. And a look, Tavon 0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:47.320 was in practice on a limited basis, So if he's practicing, 0:06:47.800 --> 0:06:50.800 he's got to be out of the concussion pro is practicing. Yeah, 0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:53.520 but I just again, that's another one of those questions 0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:55.880 you ask and you go, how much is Austin? Dude, 0:06:56.040 --> 0:06:59.200 he was out there, you know, so and even with 0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:01.880 with you know, maybe we'll see today if Noah, Maury 0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:04.760 Cooper today practice and maybe they get Tavon Austin more 0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:08.200 involved in practice, you know, like I say it, well 0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:10.640 we'll see. Well we you know, Mickey, we all asked 0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:12.760 the right questions and we'll get the right answers and 0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:14.880 we'll let everybody know. I mean, if he can just 0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:18.880 return punts, that would be fine. Yeah, you know, and 0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:22.560 Cedric Wilson has done a nice job. Number one, he's 0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:25.640 caught the ball. Yes. Number two, he caught the ball 0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:28.240 in a bad situation. Not I mean it was a 0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:30.560 bad punt. The short punt and he went up and 0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:34.760 you very well right, and he went up and caught it. Yeah, 0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:37.080 So that was encouraging. And the other thing was is 0:07:37.280 --> 0:07:40.120 he gets up the field, if he gets five yards 0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:43.480 ten yards, ten yards, is that's a first down? U? 0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:45.960 And he had the one nice return and it got 0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:49.640 called back. Sure. Um. Sometimes I just think you ought 0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:53.080 to fair catch every punt and try to block it 0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:56.600 and don't don't try to block for the returner and 0:07:56.680 --> 0:07:59.440 get a holding call. How many times you think seven 0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:01.880 out of ten it seems like it, and the NFL 0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:05.600 it is, Yeah, it's it's you've grown too, you know. 0:08:05.640 --> 0:08:07.640 I always hate when they feel the ball inside their 0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:11.120 own twenty and then it's half the distance to the goal. 0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:14.000 Pen me all the time. I mean, just better off 0:08:14.040 --> 0:08:18.280 just letting it stroll out everybody going and try to 0:08:18.320 --> 0:08:20.360 block it and call a fair kickt except if when 0:08:20.400 --> 0:08:22.960 you try to block it you don't run into the hunter. 0:08:23.080 --> 0:08:25.880 By the way that happens. Holding calls our things. Tom 0:08:25.920 --> 0:08:28.920 Brady pointed out, they are a thing. You got periscope 0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:31.600 cooking today to do a periscope. Appreciate everybody out there. 0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:33.040 I do. I do like I say as we get 0:08:33.120 --> 0:08:35.400 going here. I do have some questions. I can I 0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:37.520 start with a question, then let's do it. Is that okay? 0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:40.120 And again I'm going to answer these questions too along 0:08:40.160 --> 0:08:42.600 with you. I don't think they're too difficult. But but 0:08:42.760 --> 0:08:46.520 guys more concerned? Are you more concerned? Crowd noise or 0:08:46.559 --> 0:08:53.719 Teddy Bridgewater? Go ahead, Mick, and crowd noise. Although it's 0:08:53.760 --> 0:08:57.360 not supposed to matter, right, right, Well, sometimes it matters 0:08:57.440 --> 0:09:00.720 parking lot, moon, all that stuff. You're saying, you are 0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:03.120 worried about that, even with the veteran team, Mickey, You're 0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:06.080 worried a little bit about that situation. I just think 0:09:06.600 --> 0:09:10.480 it can get disruptive. And one of the things that 0:09:10.559 --> 0:09:15.839 Cowboys have done so well is speed up the pace 0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:18.840 of the game. Right, go no huddle? Right, Sometimes it's 0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:21.640 hard to go no huddle if you're if you got 0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:24.560 so much crowd noise you can't hear. Yeah. Now, the 0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:29.720 other thing is is if you're hurrying up, maybe the 0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:32.920 people in the stadium aren't hurrying up with you. Right, Oh, 0:09:32.960 --> 0:09:37.000 we don't have time to just kind of watch what's 0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:38.920 going on. And then oh they're going to the line 0:09:38.920 --> 0:09:41.240 of scrimmage. Yeah, they got to finish a play and 0:09:41.679 --> 0:09:45.679 start chairing again. Yeah, so if you're moving the football, 0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:48.880 maybe maybe that helps. But that I still think that's 0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:51.320 one of the best things that they You know, you 0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:54.320 can call all the plays you want in the right order, 0:09:54.720 --> 0:09:57.360 you can call you know, in rhythm and come up 0:09:57.400 --> 0:10:00.520 with nice formations. But the one different so I see 0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:04.120 is them controlling the pace, especially when they got something rolling, 0:10:04.600 --> 0:10:07.400 keep it rolling. I don't know how they'll that'll work 0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:09.920 with crowd noise. The key is to get a score 0:10:09.960 --> 0:10:12.080 early and take him out of the game. That's what 0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:14.160 they did, you know. I know it's a long time ago, 0:10:14.200 --> 0:10:17.160 but oh nine that huge when they had against an 0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:19.959 unbeaten Saints team, they scored the first couple of times 0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:22.200 down the field. That's that's Keys didn't have an answer 0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:23.560 for him. That now no answer for it. I know 0:10:23.559 --> 0:10:26.559 it's a totally different team. I'm gonna go Teddy Bridgewater 0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:30.600 because I to Mickey's point, I feel, especially with Travis 0:10:30.640 --> 0:10:32.640 Frederick back, and this is no knock on Joe Looney. 0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:35.040 I just have so much confidence in this offensive line 0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:38.160 with their pre snap communication. I just don't think that's 0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:40.520 going to be an issue with this veteran offensive line. 0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:45.920 I know Bridgewater is not Drew Brees, but thank god, 0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:49.880 but I think he is a veteran quarterback and he's 0:10:49.920 --> 0:10:51.760 got a great head coach that's going to put a 0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:53.920 good game plan together for him. And he's got one 0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:57.880 full start under his belt this year. And I don't 0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:00.960 I know how they play offense, and I know Kamara 0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:03.280 is a huge factor in the screen game and all that, 0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:05.920 but at some point, especially if the Cowboys offense has success, 0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:09.480 they're gonna have to go vertical and try to make 0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:11.559 some chunk plays up the field. I think he may 0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:13.959 be more of a factor than we think he may 0:11:14.000 --> 0:11:16.760 have to be for them. Question is can he make 0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:18.400 those plays against his Cowboys? Do you know me? I 0:11:18.400 --> 0:11:20.120 don't like to ride the fence, but I thought both 0:11:20.160 --> 0:11:22.480 you gave great answers on that. Me person, I'm with 0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:25.640 you on this, Rob. I think a veteran team handles 0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:29.120 the crowd noise. I do, but it is intense, and 0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:32.480 Mickey again made a very good point about that. The 0:11:32.480 --> 0:11:34.600 thing with Bridgewater, I think he's gonna have to play 0:11:34.600 --> 0:11:37.559 in this game. I think you know the great again, 0:11:37.600 --> 0:11:40.000 and nobody feels sorry for you in this league when 0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:42.360 you lose players. I mean the Cowboys. I talked about 0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:43.959 it last year when the Cowboy. This year, when the 0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:48.120 Cowboys played this game against the Saints, they had Fleming, 0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:52.440 Sua Filo and Joe Looney on that left side of 0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:55.720 that offensive line. You know, nobody was feeling you go play, 0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:57.959 That's what you go do. But I think Bridgewater is 0:11:58.000 --> 0:12:00.360 gonna have to play. I do have some concern if 0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:03.800 in fact, that they're able to to do some things 0:12:03.840 --> 0:12:06.720 scheme wise to help him that that that would be 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:10.040 my concern. But I think because if they if the 0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:13.800 Cowboys didn't have a veteran offense or veteran team that 0:12:13.840 --> 0:12:16.520 way on offense, I think I think hand on the 0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:19.160 crowd and wise would be would be a little bit 0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:24.720 problematic for them. Okay, um, my next question is give 0:12:24.760 --> 0:12:28.400 me an under the radar player for the Cowboys in 0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:31.160 this game. Give me somebody we're really not talking about 0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:34.679 too much, but give me an under the radar player 0:12:35.600 --> 0:12:39.320 for the Cowboys that could play a big role in 0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:46.000 in their their outcome on Sunday night. M So, vander 0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:49.079 Ish is not under the radar. Under the here was 0:12:49.120 --> 0:12:51.440 a lot of his jerseys for sale. You got something else? 0:12:51.520 --> 0:12:53.920 You got one, I got one. Okay, go ahead, Christian 0:12:54.000 --> 0:12:56.680 Christian Covington was trying to buy some time to think. 0:12:57.280 --> 0:13:01.079 Give me Christian Covington because if if form holds here 0:13:01.080 --> 0:13:04.040 and there's no Antoine Woods again this week, he's going 0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:07.800 to get a lot of snaps inside. Uh. He played 0:13:07.840 --> 0:13:09.960 through some stuff during the game last week and I 0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:12.760 thought was pretty active, big body that can get up 0:13:12.800 --> 0:13:14.520 the field. And we just talked about it. I mean, 0:13:14.520 --> 0:13:16.960 this defensive line is depleted and they've got to find 0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:19.440 a way to get some pressure. And Brian's talked about 0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:21.840 it this This Saint's offensive line is big, they're strong, 0:13:22.120 --> 0:13:25.480 and they protect. So give me Cuvington's part of that 0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:27.960 D line rotation you got when they'll make you. Quinn's 0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:34.280 not under the radar, No, no, and Pollard's none under 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:37.800 the radar and all right, really all right, So my 0:13:38.360 --> 0:13:43.880 pick would be and he needs to be over the 0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:47.440 radar if they're going to have success defensively, and needs 0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:50.480 to be Anthony Brown. There you go, because Anthony Brown, 0:13:50.480 --> 0:13:51.920 why do you say in the first place, because you 0:13:51.960 --> 0:13:55.440 talked about how important Nichol was yesterday and you're not 0:13:55.559 --> 0:14:01.680 talking with you that guy is in the slot, and 0:14:02.040 --> 0:14:04.240 you know, if in depending on how they're gonna play 0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:08.559 their defenses, that slot guy is going to be really important, 0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:11.240 especially against the run, and we've seen him do a 0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:14.600 nice job at times against the run coming up and 0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:18.000 reading the play properly. And with a guy like Kamara 0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:22.360 in there, then I think that position unless they're gonna 0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:24.720 change it up and take out you know, I don't 0:14:24.720 --> 0:14:27.880 know that you want to take out another linebacker, um, 0:14:28.160 --> 0:14:31.120 but in in third and long they may do that. 0:14:31.200 --> 0:14:35.000 They may go dime and bring in Jordan Lewis. They 0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:37.760 play a bunch of dime last year in that game. Yeah, Yeah, 0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:41.920 there's a lot of Jordan at you remember you looked 0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:43.640 it up. It was La plays, but it was a 0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:48.080 really good play, really good pays. That's my that's my pick, guys. 0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:50.080 I'm gonna go with somebody a little bit different here 0:14:50.160 --> 0:14:53.200 and and this might turn into I think the Cowboys 0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:55.680 can move the ball, but if it turns into where 0:14:55.680 --> 0:14:57.360 they can't move the ball, Chris Jones is going to 0:14:57.440 --> 0:14:59.760 have to have a big game for these guys because 0:14:59.760 --> 0:15:01.880 it's it's going to be about trying to get trying 0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:04.680 to flip fields, trying to pin the Saints trying to 0:15:04.720 --> 0:15:07.880 do these things. This Deontay Harris they have as a 0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:10.600 punt returner, This got a lot of ability, you know. 0:15:10.640 --> 0:15:13.120 And again that's the Seattle game the other day was 0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:18.080 a great example of how a touchdown that's not offensively 0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:20.920 scored can affect a football game. They had a couple 0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:22.920 of they had a punt return for a touchdown, they 0:15:22.920 --> 0:15:25.120 had a fumble return for a touchdown. So I think 0:15:25.200 --> 0:15:27.560 Chris Jones in this game, if it turns into them 0:15:27.560 --> 0:15:30.400 and then having to flip field, having to hang it up, 0:15:30.560 --> 0:15:34.640 having to keep Deontay Harris from making big returns in 0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:37.040 this game, I think that's a guy that's kind of 0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:39.600 under the radar. But I expect the Cowboys to be 0:15:39.640 --> 0:15:41.560 able to move the football in this game. I really 0:15:41.600 --> 0:15:44.000 really do. But if it, if it doesn't, if it 0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:45.560 doesn't work out their way and they're in a tight, 0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:48.240 tough game where they're fighting for inches and all that, 0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:51.120 keep an eye on Chris Jones and with that guy 0:15:51.200 --> 0:15:54.800 back there. I don't know if distance is important as 0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:57.280 where you place the football, where you place the football, 0:15:57.360 --> 0:15:59.400 kick it out of bounds, to put it pin them 0:15:59.440 --> 0:16:03.120 on the side line, Just don't give him an open field. 0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:07.320 And conversely, what Brian's talking about, their guy did a 0:16:07.360 --> 0:16:10.360 heck of a job in Seattle, morstead of flipping the 0:16:10.360 --> 0:16:12.880 field and keeping them back. And you know, if you 0:16:13.000 --> 0:16:15.440 noticed which game was it was it the it was 0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:18.360 the Washington game. When they started off field, position was 0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:20.360 not in their favor, not at all. Like the first 0:16:20.360 --> 0:16:23.280 four or five possessions. They were no further than the 0:16:23.320 --> 0:16:25.600 twenty yard line, it seemed, and some of them back 0:16:25.640 --> 0:16:27.560 at the ten. All right, let's garb a quick phone 0:16:27.560 --> 0:16:31.440 call before we take our first break. Nebbie and Silver Spring, Maryland. 0:16:31.760 --> 0:16:37.840 You're up first on talking Cowboys today. Buddy. Hey, guys, listen, 0:16:40.000 --> 0:16:46.920 I haven't under the radar.
