But really what I 0:00:52.800 --> 0:00:54.720 want to do today is I want to get an 0:00:54.720 --> 0:00:57.279 opportunity for fans to chime in and tell us what 0:00:57.320 --> 0:00:59.440 they think. Our big overall topic today is going to 0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:01.960 be around how much are you buying what you saw 0:01:02.000 --> 0:01:05.280 on Sunday? And we talked a little bit about it yesterday. 0:01:05.400 --> 0:01:07.399 I wanted to save the conversation because I think there 0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:09.760 are lots of ways that you could look at this, 0:01:10.520 --> 0:01:11.880 but I want to get into that. So if you 0:01:11.880 --> 0:01:13.640 guys have some opinions on that and want to tell 0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:15.240 us what your thoughts are on this team and have 0:01:15.319 --> 0:01:18.600 your opinions changed of this team since you watched that 0:01:18.640 --> 0:01:20.880 game on Sunday, Give us a call. The numbers eight 0:01:20.880 --> 0:01:24.199 eight eight eight five five two two nine seven again 0:01:24.200 --> 0:01:26.720 it is eight eight eight eight five five two two 0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:29.120 nine seven. We got our crew here. Danny's joining us, 0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:32.200 as she does every Tuesday. Of course, Dave and Nick 0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:35.039 are telling us. I'm sure they're tweeting some great information 0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:37.960 for tweeting the show for the fans. Thank you. I 0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:42.200 appreciate that. You're welcome. So let's first start what, oh, 0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:46.479 go ahead? Sure? Yeah, alright, let's first start with where 0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:50.639 everything stands. Obviously, Cowboys Eagles tied deadlocked seven and seven, 0:01:51.320 --> 0:01:55.200 top the NFC East. This weekend's game means everything for 0:01:55.240 --> 0:01:57.360 the Cowboys. If they get the win, they clinch the 0:01:57.400 --> 0:01:59.720 NFC East. For the Eagles, if they get the win, 0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:03.680 they can't clinch. But the Cowboys would have to win 0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:06.760 their final game against Washington and Philly would have to 0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:09.919 lose their final game at New York for the Cowboys 0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:13.280 to back into the playoffs. Tell me, let's start that 0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:15.280 that discussion. Well, how much do you guys believe in 0:02:15.320 --> 0:02:18.959 what you saw on Sunday. I want to believe, but 0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:21.839 I don't believe that this team has consistency. They've done 0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:24.320 nothing to prove that they have that consistency since Week 0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:26.600 three when they beat three of the worst teams in 0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:29.040 the league. So as much as I want to believe 0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:31.840 that this is going to create momentum, and I've said that, 0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:34.720 I think this team is talented, so it's not surprising 0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:38.120 that they had a game like this, but I'm not 0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:40.960 sure that I believe this is something they can continue. 0:02:41.200 --> 0:02:43.960 Give me a high five. Took the words right out 0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:46.760 of my mouth. Literally, I couldn't. I can't add to it. 0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:50.200 It was perfect, said it perfect. Nick, Well there, but 0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:52.560 they're playing bad teams and so one thing we have 0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:55.640 seen is that typically you know, when they're playing a 0:02:55.720 --> 0:03:00.320 bad team, they've they played their best. The Jets isn'tption 0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:03.480 to the rule there. So, um, it's good that they 0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:06.480 beat a team that is pretty good, I guess in 0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:09.080 the rams. So it's out there. At least you know 0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:11.760 it's out there because that kept saying we believe in 0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:13.440 it because we know we can do it, but we're 0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:15.920 over here, like, well, when I mean, when have you 0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:18.240 done it? So now now that they've done it. I 0:03:18.240 --> 0:03:20.360 mean that that's that's something to kind of build off of. 0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:23.400 But like Danny said, they haven't proven that they can 0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:26.880 do that, you know, a game to game, so we'll see. 0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:28.720 I mean, but they're playing a bad team. The Eagles 0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:30.960 are bad, so they should be they should be able 0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:33.240 to win the game. So what are the most if 0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:37.360 you go ahead, Okay, y'all, y'all were awesome. If you guys, 0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:39.200 if you guys have to go back and think about 0:03:39.240 --> 0:03:41.480 that game from the standpoint, like break it down in 0:03:41.560 --> 0:03:45.080 different components, different parts, different parts of the team, different 0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:47.600 moments in the game. What do you think were the 0:03:47.640 --> 0:03:51.120 things that they did that were most impressive and most 0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:54.040 important for them to continue to do in future games 0:03:54.040 --> 0:03:56.000 if they're gonna get wins. I'll give you some examples. 0:03:56.240 --> 0:03:58.160 Maybe you say it was the offensive line, the running 0:03:58.200 --> 0:03:59.920 backs and their ability to really be able to stop 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:02.120 wish to run. Maybe you say it was the offensive 0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:05.000 play calling. Maybe you would say the secondary played outstanding. 0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:07.400 What was that thing in this game that you think 0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:08.920 that you would point to and say that was a 0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:11.400 critical part of their game that's been missing that they 0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:14.240 have to continue. They stopped the run, defense, well, I 0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:18.680 mean defense in general, but they stopped a good rushing 0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:21.080 game and a good running back and maybe Todd Gurley's 0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:23.560 not what he once was, that's fair to debate, but 0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:26.680 I mean lesser guys than that. How many times last 0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:29.120 week did Nick say Bo Scarborough gave them fits like 0:04:29.360 --> 0:04:33.120 lesser players and lesser offensive lines have wrecked them in 0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:37.520 the past. And they kicked butt which not like I 0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:40.960 don't take anything new away from what we saw on offense, honestly, 0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:43.839 like we've seen him do that countless times. The other 0:04:43.880 --> 0:04:46.200 thing on stopping the run was they didn't let Golf 0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:48.880 become mobile. He's not the most mobile quarterback, but we've 0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:51.240 seen that all season of quarterbacks who don't run a 0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:53.480 lot can run all over this team, and they didn't 0:04:53.520 --> 0:04:56.280 let him do that. Yeah, I think for me, though, 0:04:56.320 --> 0:04:58.400 as good as that is, I would just say the 0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:04.640 offensive line really just kind of imposing themselves on the rams, 0:05:04.680 --> 0:05:06.839 say we're gonna, we're gonna run the ball, we're gonna 0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:09.080 we're gonna knock you off the ball, We're gonna you know, 0:05:09.120 --> 0:05:10.880 we're gonna do what we do. And that's what Jason 0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:12.960 Garrett and then preach all the time about we do 0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:14.880 what we do and it's like, well, that's good until 0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:17.520 it doesn't work, and then what But it worked and 0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:19.440 it kept working and they didn't even have to throw 0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:21.960 the ball to the receiver as much. So I thought 0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:24.719 that was the best part of it, was that we're 0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:28.440 gonna take a great front and the best football defensive 0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:30.520 player in the NFL and we're gonna knock him off 0:05:30.560 --> 0:05:32.719 the ball. So so let's take that with you. Guys 0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:36.279 mentioned offensive line, you mentioned the defense, particularly stopping the run. 0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:40.160 Let's say those two components continue to play at that level. 0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:43.159 How far do you think this team can go? Will 0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:45.680 you win the Super Bowl if you if you if 0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:48.159 you stop the run and you run the ball, and 0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:51.640 you win both sides of the ball. Seriously, you don't. 0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:57.599 But I'm just saying if the Cowboys and the next 0:05:57.680 --> 0:06:00.640 in every game that they play, if they donate both 0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:03.760 sides of the line of scrimmage, they're gonna win the 0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:06.680 Super Bowl unless you have like three or four crazy turnovers. 0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:09.640 Do you think they can do that though against better 0:06:09.720 --> 0:06:12.760 quality opponents, Well, I don't think you're gonna have a 0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:16.880 better quality front than that. On defense, I'm talking about 0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:20.120 knocking a guy off the ball and just creating lanes 0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:21.800 and stuff like that. Like if they can do it 0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:23.880 against the Rams, they can probably. I mean the forty 0:06:23.920 --> 0:06:25.919 nine ers might give them some problems there. That's the 0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:27.720 forty nine ers have a lot of talent up front. 0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:30.760 They didn't we saw. I mean, we watched the Saints front. 0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:33.680 Whoop their ass's watched that. That's what I'm saying. There's 0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:35.520 some there's some some teams that they would have to 0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:38.159 play in the playoffs that have comparable, we'd say, at 0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:42.000 least comparable defensive fronts to what the Rams have. I 0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:44.000 know I've been saying it a lot, but I think 0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:46.680 it was probably clear in this game that like, when 0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:49.559 you want to run the football, this is your best five. 0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:52.240 I mean, Sue Philo is a better run blocker in 0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:54.919 my opinion than Connor Williams. And that's what that's what 0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:58.000 they've kind of needed. Now, he'll he doesn't have those 0:06:58.080 --> 0:07:01.160 quick feet like Connor Williams does, and he might get 0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:03.080 beat a little bit, you know, up the field, you know, 0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:06.120 in past protection. But I think I think this is 0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:08.200 their best five, and I think it's better than it 0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:10.520 was against the Saint because I don't believe Zach Martin 0:07:10.560 --> 0:07:13.160 was as healthy as he is right now. I would 0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:15.119 I would agree with that, and I thought Zach played 0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:17.920 great the other day and it certainly seems like he's 0:07:17.960 --> 0:07:21.320 healthier than he has been. If they get that effort 0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:23.960 from both sides of the ball, I mean, this is elementary, Like, 0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:25.520 if they get that effort from both sides of the ball, 0:07:25.560 --> 0:07:27.800 they can beat anybody in the league. But at this point, 0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:31.560 their inconsistency is part of their DNA, like that is 0:07:31.560 --> 0:07:34.080 who they have proven to be to this point, and 0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:37.920 crazier things have happened. But I assume that they cannot 0:07:38.000 --> 0:07:40.000 get that level of effort from both sides of the 0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:41.800 ball four times in a row, which is what it 0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:44.480 would take. So and it's not just game to game 0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:48.320 this year to this franchise, it's been year to year, consistency, 0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:50.160 year to year. When's the last time they won two 0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:52.640 NFC East two years in a row. I believe it's 0:07:52.880 --> 0:07:57.320 twenty eighteen and twenty nineteen. Yeah, sorry, they want it 0:07:57.400 --> 0:08:00.280 last year and they're going to win it on Sunday. Okay, Yeah, sorry, 0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:06.960 that's point. Okay. I was like, yes, And then that 0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:09.600 whole span of three years before that too, But I 0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:12.120 mean they haven't been a team that that kind of 0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:14.840 you know, carries their own success to the next year. 0:08:14.920 --> 0:08:17.600 So here we are. That's and and that's I mean, 0:08:17.680 --> 0:08:21.080 and again that's are you encouraged or are you frustrated? 0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:25.240 Because where has that been all year? And why to 0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:27.160 Danny's point that she made at the top of the show, 0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:29.200 like why should I have faith that you could put 0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:32.400 that together four times in a row against better teams? 0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:34.040 By the way, like the Rams are the best team 0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:36.520 they've beaten all year. They are not the best team 0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:38.600 they'll see in the playoff. They would see in the playoffs. 0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:40.440 I guess I can't just assume they'll be there. But 0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:44.680 that I mean, the Rams are eight and six now, right, 0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:47.480 and you're taught. I mean, do you realize how like 0:08:48.240 --> 0:08:50.599 a twelve or thirteen win team is probably going to 0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:52.360 miss out on a buy in the NFC this year, 0:08:52.480 --> 0:08:56.520 Like Green Bay, New Orleans, at San Francisco and Seattle 0:08:56.600 --> 0:08:59.080 all are going to finish with twelve or thirteen wins, 0:08:58.720 --> 0:09:01.240 And a twelve or eleven or twelve win team is 0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:04.200 gonna gonna go on the road. Yeah, right too, probably 0:09:04.440 --> 0:09:06.360 like the Vikings, A lot of teams are playing each other, 0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:09.160 like the Vikings and the and the Packers played this weekend. 0:09:09.200 --> 0:09:11.600 I think, yeah, I know, Seattle and San Francisco I 0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:13.880 think seven team. Yeah, so a lot of teams are 0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:16.480 gonna play each other, so somebody has to lose, right right, 0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:19.920 But but yeah, even I mean, Minnesota's gonna finish with 0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:24.280 like a minimum, They've got ten wins. Seattle's already got eleven, 0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:27.840 San Francisco's got I think eleven. The Saints just won 0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:31.079 their twelfth game last night, or a lot. It's there's 0:09:31.120 --> 0:09:33.920 a lot of really impressive records. So what's going to 0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:37.079 happen is so the Cowboys instead of get into the playoffs, 0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:39.440 I believe the last game of the year is the 0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:42.320 Saint is the forty nine Ers and Seahawks. That just 0:09:42.440 --> 0:09:49.080 screams like nighttime week Yeah, so that means the Cowboys 0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:52.040 will play at noon Washington, you know, get that game 0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:56.080 over with. They're gonna sit there, yeah, until the end 0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:58.439 of the night, and probably the loser of that game 0:09:58.520 --> 0:10:02.520 is soho you face right most So that that would 0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:04.480 be you know, first world problem right there. If you 0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:06.319 have to wait like eight hours to find out who 0:10:06.360 --> 0:10:08.760 your team is. If you can get into the playoffs, 0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:12.559 better than better than getting flex to nighttime, losing that 0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:14.880 game and then having to you know, if you're San Francisco, 0:10:14.920 --> 0:10:16.959 like fly back to San Francisco so you can get 0:10:17.000 --> 0:10:19.640 ready for a road trip to play a team with 0:10:19.679 --> 0:10:22.360 a much worse record than you. Probably on a Saturday night, 0:10:22.679 --> 0:10:25.160 maybe yeacause we've had some Saturday nights stuff. You don't 0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:28.600 have any weddings weddings, although I did. I told my 0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:32.400 friends that if the Cowboys play on their anniversary, I 0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:35.520 will wear my tuxedo again. Make it a tradition at 0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:40.160 the at the game. It worked last year. Yeah, that's right, Yeah, yeah, 0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:42.720 it was. It was interesting last night. Is it white No, 0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:46.240 it's as I think there could be some white out? 0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:48.839 Oh yeah, if they end up there will be a 0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:51.199 little bit and maybe jumping all the way to wild. 0:10:51.480 --> 0:10:55.360 We aren't, but it is interesting. Last night we had 0:10:55.400 --> 0:10:58.240 our annual Christmas party, and there were a number of 0:10:58.240 --> 0:11:00.720 times throughout the night when I was either involved in 0:11:00.720 --> 0:11:03.559 conversations or I heard conversations where people are saying everything 0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:06.880 from well, why not the Cowboys right all the way 0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:09.400 to man, why is it? Why is this game even 0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:11.640 being like what's the point, you know, And it's I 0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:14.360 think it really is what fans are out there saying, 0:11:14.400 --> 0:11:17.000 like they're saying, yeah, it's kind of what you said 0:11:17.000 --> 0:11:19.240 about are you frustrated or are you encouraged? You know, 0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:21.200 you can take it two ways, and that game gives 0:11:21.240 --> 0:11:24.000 you every reason to go both ways. And people are 0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:25.920 all over the map on this. Well, but not at 0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:30.960 Christmas parties where there's some flowing you know, alcohol going on, 0:11:31.120 --> 0:11:32.920 and that's where you're going to be encouraged, like well 0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:35.320 why not? Well yeah, of course, but there were also 0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:37.600 there were also plenty that were like, what's the point. 0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:39.640 I think that's how most people feel. It's the point, 0:11:39.720 --> 0:11:41.599 you know, they need to see this team beat the 0:11:41.760 --> 0:11:44.440 Egals before they have that confidence in that face they're 0:11:44.440 --> 0:11:45.800 gonna have. I don't think they're gonna have it even 0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:47.640 after that. They would have to see that first win 0:11:47.679 --> 0:11:50.120 in the playoffs. I think at least some of the 0:11:50.120 --> 0:11:52.920 people I've been talking to maybe that is not going 0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:54.640 to sell them on the fact that this team is 0:11:54.679 --> 0:11:56.680 ready to take the next step. All that's gonna say 0:11:56.760 --> 0:11:59.040 is Okay, like Nick said, they can be a bad team, 0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:01.000 they can back to the play well not even really 0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:03.120 back in. But they can get into the playoffs, and 0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:05.000 then what's gonna happen when they face one of these 0:12:05.000 --> 0:12:06.880 teams you just finished saying it's gonna have ten, eleven, 0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:09.440 twelve wins. What are you gonna do? Then? All I'm saying, 0:12:09.520 --> 0:12:12.280 and you're right there, I mean, especially inside the organization 0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:14.920 where you live this every day and the fans that 0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:19.120 have been doing this for ten, fifteen, twenty twenty five years. Yes, 0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:22.920 but if they go up to Philly and spank the Eagles, 0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:26.080 they are going to be the talk of the league 0:12:26.160 --> 0:12:28.440 in terms of like, nobody wants to play these guys. 0:12:28.520 --> 0:12:30.880 Bank the Eagles does change, the first take is gonna 0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:33.560 it's gonna be, oh, is anybody hotter than the Cowboys? 0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:35.280 And it won't matter that the Eagles aren't that good 0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:39.320 because it's the Dallas Cowboys, and there will be the 0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:42.160 bandwagon will be crowded if they go up there and play. Well, 0:12:42.200 --> 0:12:44.400 that's all I'm saying until you figure out who they're 0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:46.640 playing the first round the playoffs, and then I think 0:12:46.679 --> 0:12:49.640 everybody kind of comes back down a bit. But you're right, 0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:52.520 I do think you I mean, you get two games 0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:54.960 in a row with the Cowboys spank their opponent, and 0:12:55.080 --> 0:12:57.040 one of them is to win the division. You're right, 0:12:57.080 --> 0:13:00.960 I do think that changes some people's opinions. So let's 0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:04.240 say that happens. What are you doing in week seventeen? 0:13:04.960 --> 0:13:07.360 You gotta go balls to the wall. And I'm the guy. 0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:09.880 I'm the guy that says restie, You're very much that guy. 0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:12.800 You gotta go balls to the wall going. First of all, 0:13:12.920 --> 0:13:15.480 you haven't no offense, guys, I know you're playing through 0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:18.040 injuries and stuff like you haven't earned the right to 0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:20.200 get that rest. Like this is a better team than 0:13:20.240 --> 0:13:23.800 their record suggests like, and you need to stay in 0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:26.800 the routine of like I don't. I haven't seen anything 0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:28.600 to suggest that you can afford to take a week 0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:31.880 off and still play well. But I think there's a medium, 0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:33.840 Like there is a you can take the week off, 0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:36.040 there's also you can play all the way. I think 0:13:36.080 --> 0:13:39.040 there is a happy medium that we've seen Jason Garrett employee, 0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:41.800 which is you prepare all week like you're gonna play, 0:13:42.040 --> 0:13:44.040 You play the first half, and then you sit all 0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:46.600 your guys down, or some of your guys down. So 0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:49.040 that's what I would probably like. Somebody in Philly is 0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:52.080 going to clip this off, and they're already thinking, yeah, 0:13:53.160 --> 0:13:56.240 we're just speculating. We are just a speculating though. I 0:13:56.240 --> 0:13:58.200 think which one of you guys, somebody has already said 0:13:58.200 --> 0:14:02.480 they're going to spank the Eagles. I believe. I believe 0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:04.760 in my bones that they're going to win this game, 0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:07.840 because that's what they do. They beat the East. Dak 0:14:08.000 --> 0:14:10.880 is eighteen and four against the NFC East. The Eagles 0:14:10.880 --> 0:14:14.200 are trotting out practice squad player as a wide receiver. 0:14:14.760 --> 0:14:17.760 I just they should win this game, and they might not. 0:14:17.840 --> 0:14:20.600 They're not consistent, to Danny's point, but they should win. 0:14:20.760 --> 0:14:23.360 The one thing they do is beat the NFC East. 0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:25.800 That is the one thing that they're consistent. They are 0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:29.000 undefeated against the East this year. They kicked the East's 0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:32.240 butt last year. Jason Garrett has a great record in 0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:34.440 the division. He's seven and two at the link. They 0:14:34.440 --> 0:14:37.000 should win this game, and I don't think I've felt 0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:39.400 more confident that they will win all year. All Right, 0:14:39.400 --> 0:14:41.040 we're gonna take our first break when we come back. 0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:42.560 We want to hear from you guys.

Casey, 0:17:21.760 --> 0:17:26.000 what up, Hi, guys. I really love the show, So 0:17:26.040 --> 0:17:28.639 I'll just make my point real quick. So I did 0:17:28.720 --> 0:17:30.479 kind of think the Cowboys were going to blow out 0:17:30.480 --> 0:17:33.200 the Rams and many lose for the Eagles, like close 0:17:33.280 --> 0:17:35.800 game and then get deep in the Redskins just because 0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:38.600 I was playing. Their seasons has been going. So I'd 0:17:38.680 --> 0:17:40.600 love to see the Cowboys actually go when a close 0:17:40.640 --> 0:17:43.399 game versus silly because they haven't done that whole season. 0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:45.800 So yeah, flying up and hear what you guys have 0:17:45.880 --> 0:17:48.440 to say about That's all right, thanks. That's a good 0:17:48.480 --> 0:17:51.560 point because you know, that's something that I've said a 0:17:51.560 --> 0:17:53.560 couple of times is this team does not have a 0:17:53.680 --> 0:17:56.560 second half comeback when they haven't been down in the 0:17:56.600 --> 0:18:00.159 second half and won any of those games. So it's 0:18:00.160 --> 0:18:01.800 good to have a good start and jump out early, 0:18:01.960 --> 0:18:04.160 but you want to you want to have a confidence 0:18:04.160 --> 0:18:05.560 that you can go and do that and make the 0:18:06.280 --> 0:18:10.200 clutch plays and we haven't seen that so far, so 0:18:10.400 --> 0:18:12.600 that would yeah, if if you could draw it up 0:18:12.640 --> 0:18:14.440 anyway you want, I mean, yeah, it would be nice 0:18:14.440 --> 0:18:17.440 to blow out the Eagles, but I think a close 0:18:17.480 --> 0:18:20.000 win I got check type of win is it would 0:18:20.040 --> 0:18:23.000 be very important to have kudos to him for thinking 0:18:23.000 --> 0:18:26.480 they were gonna beat the Rams. He's not. There aren't 0:18:26.520 --> 0:18:28.960 a lot of people that thought that the number one 0:18:29.080 --> 0:18:32.520 homer didn't. I mean, Michael Irvine even, yeah, Michael Irvin 0:18:32.600 --> 0:18:34.440 picked against them. Yeah, that's what I was like. Wow, 0:18:34.560 --> 0:18:36.760 But if you hear what he said, I mean, what 0:18:36.800 --> 0:18:40.000 he's saying really is that's what the Cowboys typically do 0:18:40.200 --> 0:18:42.040 is with a game where you count them out, is 0:18:42.040 --> 0:18:43.760 when they show up and then when they get you 0:18:43.800 --> 0:18:46.040 all excited like Okay, we're gonna about to do something, 0:18:46.400 --> 0:18:48.600 then they kind of dash your hopes and dreams. Right. 0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:51.760 That's what he's kind of getting to is he's expecting 0:18:51.800 --> 0:18:54.240 them to necessarily, he was expecting them to win last week, 0:18:54.280 --> 0:18:57.280 and then once everybody's hype like they are now, then 0:18:57.760 --> 0:19:00.000 it's filling right. I bet he's not going to pick 0:19:00.040 --> 0:19:03.560 come to lose to the Eagles thought, not the way 0:19:03.600 --> 0:19:05.160 they beat them. I mean not the way they beat 0:19:05.160 --> 0:19:07.160 the Rams. It field have been a close game. Maybe. 0:19:07.480 --> 0:19:09.440 I just think most people now are starting to think 0:19:09.480 --> 0:19:12.200 they can at least beat a team like the Eagles 0:19:12.800 --> 0:19:15.399 to get into the playoffs, especially and you hit the 0:19:15.480 --> 0:19:18.280 nail on the head, especially because they don't have their 0:19:18.280 --> 0:19:20.840 full compliment of players, Like their wide receiver position isn't 0:19:20.880 --> 0:19:24.080 mass unit right now, so without their full compliment, you 0:19:24.320 --> 0:19:26.119 would think that should be a little bit easier for 0:19:26.119 --> 0:19:28.880 the Cowboys. But it is the NFL. Anything can happen 0:19:28.920 --> 0:19:31.440 on any given sun to a strange lady. We'll take 0:19:31.480 --> 0:19:33.760 a call from Thomas in Kansas City. Thomas, what up? 0:19:35.640 --> 0:19:39.000 How I enjoyed the show? Actually it's Thomas in Mississippi, Mississippi. 0:19:39.040 --> 0:19:42.119 What's up? That's all right? They had two points. I 0:19:42.200 --> 0:19:46.280 enjoyed the show. First point, I'm not believing until they 0:19:46.359 --> 0:19:51.119 beat Silly they must be Filly convincingly. My second point, 0:19:51.280 --> 0:19:54.040 I Nick been saying this for these two years about 0:19:54.080 --> 0:19:57.040 the office and Land. I think he's right, and I 0:19:57.119 --> 0:20:00.680 watched this game to feel it ill strong and yeah, 0:20:00.760 --> 0:20:03.800 I think Nick missed. Is also about a change. If 0:20:03.840 --> 0:20:06.560 one league is weak, whole chang is league. So I 0:20:06.600 --> 0:20:10.000 think we're full filling the line. This change strong. So 0:20:10.080 --> 0:20:13.320 when they steel it, I'm convinced, go cowboy, thank you 0:20:13.359 --> 0:20:18.119 all right? Thanks? Okay, like quick points and especially when 0:20:18.119 --> 0:20:21.879 you agree with me, I like it. Um, you know 0:20:22.520 --> 0:20:24.320 it's not that. And the people have said, well you 0:20:24.359 --> 0:20:26.560 hate Connor Williams, Well you can't like one player and 0:20:26.560 --> 0:20:28.440 then the other one. It's like you hate no. I 0:20:28.600 --> 0:20:32.520 just I kind of think Connor Williams is probably more 0:20:32.560 --> 0:20:35.480 of a tackle. I think, um, not sure where you 0:20:35.560 --> 0:20:37.600 would play though, you just locked up your two tackles 0:20:37.640 --> 0:20:39.440 or your two tackles are locked up for a while, 0:20:39.520 --> 0:20:42.240 so he needs to, you know, I guess play it 0:20:42.280 --> 0:20:44.119 at a guard spot. But I just think to a 0:20:44.160 --> 0:20:46.440 filo is better. And I think for what they really 0:20:46.480 --> 0:20:49.600 need to play with Zeke and to not have a fullback. 0:20:49.680 --> 0:20:52.560 Remember they don't have a lead fullback, so you gotta 0:20:52.600 --> 0:20:55.200 have as strong affront as you possibly can to knock 0:20:55.240 --> 0:20:58.000 people off the ball. Nik looked pretty good at fullback 0:20:58.040 --> 0:21:00.600 the other day. That's true. I mean prefer to have 0:21:00.640 --> 0:21:03.000 him with the ball. They gonna happen often. But I 0:21:03.080 --> 0:21:05.359 would say something interesting on one off. I threw the 0:21:05.400 --> 0:21:07.800 fan this morning. Jerry Jones was asked about what he 0:21:07.920 --> 0:21:10.000 sees the identity of this team, because that was said 0:21:10.040 --> 0:21:11.840 a lot after the game of getting the identity back? 0:21:11.880 --> 0:21:13.960 What's the DNA of this team? And his answer was 0:21:14.000 --> 0:21:16.639 the O line, And I was thinking, I think I 0:21:16.640 --> 0:21:18.240 would agree with that when you think of the Cowboys, 0:21:18.280 --> 0:21:20.680 I mean, you obviously have Yeek and whatnot, but as 0:21:20.760 --> 0:21:24.200 a core, as multiple players, the OH line is what 0:21:24.280 --> 0:21:26.040 you would think of when you play the Cowboys. Follow 0:21:26.080 --> 0:21:27.960 the money, I mean, like where do they spend most 0:21:27.960 --> 0:21:30.679 of their money? If you look across this team, definitely, 0:21:30.760 --> 0:21:33.040 offensive line is the position where they've spent most of 0:21:33.040 --> 0:21:35.840 their draft capital and most of their money. So there's 0:21:35.840 --> 0:21:38.520 no doubt it should be their their identity, right. And 0:21:38.600 --> 0:21:41.200 the thing about it is is that travels that travels 0:21:41.240 --> 0:21:44.639 into into Seattle, it travels into San Francisco, it travels 0:21:44.640 --> 0:21:48.879 into domes. I mean when you're playing really well and 0:21:48.920 --> 0:21:51.600 it can knock people around. Now, they didn't play well 0:21:51.600 --> 0:21:54.760 against the Saints. I mean Saints beat him, but it's 0:21:54.760 --> 0:21:56.560 not because of the crowd and all that kind of stuff. 0:21:56.600 --> 0:21:59.320 But like, if you are physically better and can do 0:21:59.320 --> 0:22:02.360 what you're supposed to do, you can play anywhere because 0:22:02.800 --> 0:22:05.240 you know that that's not something that's that you need 0:22:05.280 --> 0:22:06.840 to be all and scenk and all that. I mean, 0:22:07.040 --> 0:22:09.440 just knocked the guy back and run the ball. This 0:22:09.520 --> 0:22:12.600 is an offseason segment. But if they can get something 0:22:12.640 --> 0:22:16.000 out of Connor McGovern, you can move Connor Williams to tackle. Still, 0:22:16.000 --> 0:22:22.040 I mean probably would what tackle position? Swing? It wouldn't 0:22:22.400 --> 0:22:24.720 like people would probably be upset to have a top 0:22:24.760 --> 0:22:27.720 fifty pick playing swing tackle. But if Connor McGovern is 0:22:27.800 --> 0:22:30.800 up to the job at left guard, then that probably 0:22:31.119 --> 0:22:33.160 you know, best five, that would be your best six. 0:22:34.040 --> 0:22:36.440 We haven't seen any I mean Connor McGovern obviously he's 0:22:36.440 --> 0:22:39.320 not gonna play this year, so that's a big if. 0:22:39.400 --> 0:22:41.480 Like I said, something for the offseason, but like that 0:22:41.800 --> 0:22:43.520 could happen. I mean, in fact the matter as you say, 0:22:43.560 --> 0:22:45.720 you don't want a top fifty pick being your swing tackle, 0:22:45.760 --> 0:22:48.440 But on a team like this where Tyren Smith, who 0:22:48.520 --> 0:22:53.439 is aging, has had back issues throughout, I think you 0:22:53.440 --> 0:22:56.480 your swing tackle positions very very important. It just hinges 0:22:56.520 --> 0:22:59.639 on how good is Connor McGovern actually, and unfortunately we 0:22:59.720 --> 0:23:02.520 don't no right now. And uh, you know when you 0:23:02.520 --> 0:23:04.160 saw at the end of the game they were taking 0:23:04.200 --> 0:23:08.120 some people out the one guy, well one starter offensive 0:23:08.119 --> 0:23:10.879 lineman that was out of the game was Lyell. You know, no, 0:23:11.040 --> 0:23:14.399 that kind of comes down to who's injured the most 0:23:14.480 --> 0:23:16.280 and maybe needs a little bit more of a rest. 0:23:16.400 --> 0:23:18.840 But you know, I just think the point is is 0:23:18.880 --> 0:23:21.720 that Tyran and Lyell have been beat up this year. 0:23:22.080 --> 0:23:25.080 So you have a quality swing tackle that can play 0:23:25.119 --> 0:23:28.480 both sides. That, I mean, that's really beneficial for this team, 0:23:28.560 --> 0:23:31.960 no doubt. Let's take a call from Jerry in Philadelphia. Jerry, 0:23:31.960 --> 0:23:34.920 what up? Hey? Guys, how are you hey? I love 0:23:34.920 --> 0:23:38.800 your show? Um, I love the Cowboys like you seventy five? 0:23:39.040 --> 0:23:41.159 I really I'm excited this year. Are you going to 0:23:42.680 --> 0:23:45.360 what's that? Are going to the game? No? I don't 0:23:45.359 --> 0:23:47.560 go to the days was games up there or it's 0:23:47.600 --> 0:23:51.920 a zoo down there. Okay, that's fine. Yeah it's a 0:23:52.040 --> 0:23:54.200 it's a shame. But the atmosphere down there for anybody, 0:23:54.240 --> 0:23:56.320 I mean, you can't wear anything I saw I show. 0:23:56.440 --> 0:23:58.880 You can get fights where Texas saying match. I mean, 0:23:58.920 --> 0:24:05.160 it's it's it's a crazy. But I'm really excited, guys. 0:24:05.160 --> 0:24:07.680 And you know what, the way they click place week, 0:24:08.359 --> 0:24:11.280 I'm very confident, you know, and I heard you guys 0:24:11.280 --> 0:24:13.639 talking about the consistent over the years, the organization. But 0:24:13.680 --> 0:24:15.720 you know what, the way this team has built the 0:24:15.760 --> 0:24:18.040 last few years, ever since short of Stevens seem to 0:24:18.080 --> 0:24:21.280 take over Will McClay with the trade and this team 0:24:21.359 --> 0:24:23.560 is a lot different organizations. HEAs a lot different from 0:24:23.600 --> 0:24:26.320 the late nineties and you're only two thousands where we 0:24:26.359 --> 0:24:29.520 weren't consistent with signing high free agents. And I think 0:24:29.520 --> 0:24:31.560 this team is built the right way. And I don't 0:24:31.560 --> 0:24:33.879 care when they click. It's like the NHL BO if 0:24:33.880 --> 0:24:36.840 you're hot going to the playoffs and I'm excited, guys, 0:24:36.880 --> 0:24:39.000 I really think we could do some damage. And uh, 0:24:39.440 --> 0:24:42.159 I love your show, guys. I was listening every day 0:24:42.280 --> 0:24:45.240 all your shows. Um, I appreciate it. You guys do 0:24:45.240 --> 0:24:49.600 a great job. You know, I do think I agree 0:24:49.640 --> 0:24:51.719 with the part about you know, you guys said earlier 0:24:51.760 --> 0:24:56.640 you're frustrated or you encourage. You know, every team has 0:24:56.720 --> 0:24:58.960 that where has that been? All year? And sometimes it's 0:24:59.000 --> 0:25:02.160 not a good thing, you know, like San Francisco fans 0:25:02.160 --> 0:25:04.960 are like, where has that been? Like? You know, not 0:25:05.040 --> 0:25:06.880 that they were missing it, but you know, I didn't 0:25:06.880 --> 0:25:08.640 know that they could lose to the Falcons at home 0:25:08.640 --> 0:25:10.240 you know, stuff like that. And he gets to the 0:25:10.240 --> 0:25:12.000 playoffs and you have a game that you're like, wow, 0:25:12.200 --> 0:25:16.679 Cowboys have had that, you know, Packers and kick everybody's 0:25:16.720 --> 0:25:19.360 but all through twenty sixteen, and then you're down three 0:25:19.359 --> 0:25:21.880 scores in the second quarter of your first playoff game. Sure, 0:25:22.080 --> 0:25:24.760 and I mean it's not phrased that way, but it's like, 0:25:24.800 --> 0:25:28.160 where's that been? We hadn't seen that all year, So 0:25:28.520 --> 0:25:30.400 I would rather be the other way. We're like, well, 0:25:30.440 --> 0:25:33.359 at least I'm seeing it right now as opposed to 0:25:33.600 --> 0:25:35.440 you know, kind of on the downside of it. But 0:25:35.600 --> 0:25:38.640 as Danny said, and you said, everyone has said, this 0:25:38.680 --> 0:25:42.040 isn't momentum. This is one win. You've stopped momentum. Now 0:25:42.080 --> 0:25:44.000 you have to build it by winning another one. Yeah, 0:25:44.000 --> 0:25:46.080 this team is not hot because they've had one win. 0:25:46.160 --> 0:25:48.359 And I said this last week that even if they 0:25:48.400 --> 0:25:51.720 went out, I'm not sure how much that momentum truly 0:25:51.840 --> 0:25:54.040 helps you in a playoff push because you look at 0:25:54.040 --> 0:25:56.280 the team, their last teams that they're playing, I mean, 0:25:56.280 --> 0:25:59.200 besides the Rims, but I don't know how much that 0:25:59.280 --> 0:26:03.359 would help. I think what will create them getting momentum 0:26:03.440 --> 0:26:05.800 or becoming hot is they just have to blow the 0:26:05.840 --> 0:26:08.199 Eagles out of the water, and then they have to 0:26:08.200 --> 0:26:10.159 do this in the next week on the Redskins. I 0:26:10.200 --> 0:26:13.240 think what does help them is if they actually are 0:26:13.720 --> 0:26:16.679 rounding into form. That's really the more important thing is 0:26:17.280 --> 0:26:19.080 and that's why I started the show talking about the 0:26:19.080 --> 0:26:21.560 different components of that game that you thought they played 0:26:21.560 --> 0:26:24.280 really well, that maybe they hadn't been doing before. And 0:26:24.320 --> 0:26:26.680 I think that's the part. If they got those things 0:26:26.760 --> 0:26:29.720 shored up, then it does build momentum because it builds 0:26:29.720 --> 0:26:31.879 confidence in those areas if you're off. We all agree 0:26:31.920 --> 0:26:35.959 the offensive line is talented, the offensive line plays up 0:26:35.960 --> 0:26:38.920 to its talent level, they can compete with anybody, right, 0:26:39.000 --> 0:26:41.520 but these haven't done it consistently. So if they start 0:26:41.560 --> 0:26:44.800 to feel like, hey, we've finally hit our groove, we're 0:26:44.840 --> 0:26:47.360 finally feeling like we're a little healthier, we find there 0:26:47.359 --> 0:26:50.440 getting the confidence where we know what plays we run well, 0:26:50.520 --> 0:26:53.560 we're confident in running those plays, whatever those things are. 0:26:53.600 --> 0:26:56.680 If they get to that point, then if they win 0:26:56.720 --> 0:26:59.480 these it really does build that momentum. But if not, 0:26:59.680 --> 0:27:01.919 then all you're doing is just building a house of cards, 0:27:01.920 --> 0:27:03.600 because once you get the playoffs, you get to these 0:27:03.600 --> 0:27:05.800 good teams. It's gonna all be exposed. I think back 0:27:05.840 --> 0:27:07.600 to the beginning of the season when they were three 0:27:07.640 --> 0:27:11.000 and oh against these bad, bad teams, and that didn't 0:27:11.000 --> 0:27:12.800 do anything for them for the rest season. So why 0:27:12.840 --> 0:27:14.919 would I think that that would be different. Now, I 0:27:15.000 --> 0:27:16.840 was actually going to bring that up. And if I 0:27:16.880 --> 0:27:19.400 was looking for a reason to believe it's different, it's 0:27:19.440 --> 0:27:22.959 that Hopefully this experience has taught them some humility, right, 0:27:23.600 --> 0:27:26.040 because I mean Dak said it himself. They were smelling 0:27:26.040 --> 0:27:27.800 themselves at the start of the year, and I think 0:27:27.800 --> 0:27:30.600 the work every week, right, this is a team they 0:27:30.680 --> 0:27:33.240 know that they're talented. Like I could keep saying they're talented. 0:27:33.280 --> 0:27:36.040 They know they're talented too, And I get this sense 0:27:36.200 --> 0:27:38.199 definitely when they were three and o and trying to 0:27:38.200 --> 0:27:40.639 figure that where they're like, oh, yeah, we got this, 0:27:40.800 --> 0:27:43.320 and even you know, you lose three games in a 0:27:43.400 --> 0:27:46.040 row and you're like, oh, what the hell's going on? 0:27:46.119 --> 0:27:47.680 But then you win two in a row and you're 0:27:47.720 --> 0:27:50.640 back to like, Okay, we're good. We're good. Hopefully they 0:27:50.640 --> 0:27:54.280 don't feel like they're good. Hopefully this experience has taught them. Yeah, 0:27:54.320 --> 0:27:56.080 I mean, it is about the work, and this has 0:27:56.119 --> 0:27:59.359 been we said it last week. This is like the 0:27:59.400 --> 0:28:02.119 worst that they they've been at winning on Wednesday, Thursday 0:28:02.119 --> 0:28:04.600 and Friday. Like tip. You know, we always give Garrett 0:28:04.680 --> 0:28:06.720 so much credit for having them prepared no matter what, 0:28:06.840 --> 0:28:09.240 has it really been the case this year and hopefully 0:28:09.280 --> 0:28:12.280 they get back to that and hopefully that was all 0:28:12.280 --> 0:28:16.000 a learning experience that will help them stay focused. For 0:28:16.080 --> 0:28:17.639 lack of a better term, all right, we'll take our 0:28:17.680 --> 0:28:19.440 final break. We'll come back.

Yes, 0:31:34.760 --> 0:31:37.040 let's take calls from are we gonna set a Cowboys 0:31:37.080 --> 0:31:39.600 break record for phone calls taken? We are? That was 0:31:39.640 --> 0:31:41.760 my goal today. Good for you coming off the party 0:31:41.840 --> 0:31:45.080 last night. I wanted to you didn't want to put 0:31:45.120 --> 0:31:47.800 any effort into your rundown. No, we wanted to listen 0:31:47.840 --> 0:31:50.080 to the fans to know that's cool. What are you doing? 0:31:50.360 --> 0:31:52.680 Oh are you doing Tallahassee? Yeah, where we're going. That's 0:31:52.680 --> 0:31:56.240 where we're going to Tallahassee. Walter, what you got? I'm 0:31:56.280 --> 0:31:59.560 glad I got through Joe. Guys got through to you guys. Um, yeah, 0:32:00.240 --> 0:32:03.640 down and tell her say this is where Bob he's 0:32:03.680 --> 0:32:05.680 with the school, and where Nate Newt with the school. 0:32:05.720 --> 0:32:08.000 And that's our connection. And they just walked fast to 0:32:08.400 --> 0:32:12.200 the window here. N Yeah. But anyway, what I want 0:32:12.240 --> 0:32:15.720 to see was I get you know, I enjoy the 0:32:15.720 --> 0:32:20.640 show and I hear all the you know, the positivity 0:32:20.680 --> 0:32:23.320 and the negativity about if we get to the playoffs, 0:32:23.320 --> 0:32:25.920 then who we played. My opinion, it doesn't matter who 0:32:25.920 --> 0:32:27.719 you play when you get there. I don't care if 0:32:27.720 --> 0:32:29.120 you go to see I don't care if you go 0:32:29.200 --> 0:32:32.560 to New Orleans a weaver. The mindset's got to be 0:32:32.920 --> 0:32:36.240 play ball. Don't matter where you go. So get to 0:32:36.280 --> 0:32:39.520 get to the dances. Be a positive fit and being danced. 0:32:39.680 --> 0:32:45.160 Don't matter where you are, Kay, be positive. And I 0:32:45.200 --> 0:32:47.080 think for the team, that's absolutely the way that they 0:32:47.080 --> 0:32:48.680 have to think about it. I'll think we have to 0:32:48.680 --> 0:32:50.640 think a little bit more about Okay, who they're playing, 0:32:50.640 --> 0:32:54.040 But go ahead, well they I mean, I love his sentiment. 0:32:54.120 --> 0:32:56.360 They don't have to go anywhere, Like, get to play 0:32:56.360 --> 0:32:59.240 it right here at home first, I mean the first 0:33:00.160 --> 0:33:02.160 he's like, He's like, well, yeah, when we win that 0:33:02.160 --> 0:33:04.239 first play I was like, way, I don't care if 0:33:04.240 --> 0:33:07.760 it's New Orleans or Seattle or grab Yeah, no, Miami's 0:33:07.800 --> 0:33:09.960 after that, after I win the championship game. Yeah, so 0:33:10.080 --> 0:33:12.920 I hear you. Yeah, who would be the sixth seed 0:33:13.040 --> 0:33:16.160 right now? Probably Minnesota. Who's the fifth seed San Francisco? 0:33:16.280 --> 0:33:20.080 Right now, it's San Francisco. Yeah, because the Cowboys would 0:33:20.080 --> 0:33:22.320 play probably San Francis, right, most likely they're going to 0:33:22.360 --> 0:33:27.440 play San Francisco or or Seattle, right. Yes, I mean, honestly, 0:33:27.440 --> 0:33:30.520 I think that's almost a guarantee because one they play 0:33:30.520 --> 0:33:32.280 each other, so one of them is gonna win. There 0:33:32.360 --> 0:33:35.200 chance the Packers, maybe, yes, the pack If the Packers 0:33:35.200 --> 0:33:37.200 lose to the Vikings, then the NFC North is up 0:33:37.200 --> 0:33:39.480 for grabs in week seven. Tenness, we love to see 0:33:39.480 --> 0:33:42.400 the Cowboys match up with the Packers again with to 0:33:42.480 --> 0:33:44.640 come here. Now, you look at all those playoff teams, 0:33:44.720 --> 0:33:48.040 you want to see Aaron Aaron Rodgers. By the way, 0:33:48.080 --> 0:33:51.760 Aaron Rodgers is not playing like Aaron Rodgers does. Look 0:33:53.400 --> 0:33:56.400 look what he's done. I can't. I would rather I'd 0:33:56.440 --> 0:33:58.520 like to see him come back. Your opinion, I will 0:33:58.840 --> 0:34:02.840 see him come back here. I'll tell anybody your opinion. Respect. 0:34:03.240 --> 0:34:05.520 At some point I want them to exercise his demon 0:34:05.640 --> 0:34:07.920 like he's beating them to. Would you rather want to 0:34:07.920 --> 0:34:10.680 see them exercise the demons? I would rather see Kirk Cousins. 0:34:12.080 --> 0:34:14.839 Give me seriously, The Vikings beat the Cowboys this year 0:34:14.920 --> 0:34:17.399 and Kirk Cousins played great, and I'd still rather play 0:34:17.480 --> 0:34:20.000 him than Aaron Rodgers really didn't play great. He played. 0:34:20.080 --> 0:34:22.200 I mean he's screened passed the hell out. Yeah, but 0:34:22.239 --> 0:34:25.560 he had he threw a couple, he threw a great 0:34:25.560 --> 0:34:28.040 pass to Rudolph for a touchdown. Like he played a 0:34:28.080 --> 0:34:31.040 good game. I'm not saying he'd redefined the position. I 0:34:31.080 --> 0:34:35.319 want to see Aaron Rodgers come back. I want them 0:34:35.560 --> 0:34:38.879 to take actually Aaron Rodgers at ATMs as long as 0:34:38.920 --> 0:34:41.560 we were just taking the wheels off the show. I 0:34:41.600 --> 0:34:44.240 was playing with the I was playing with the ESPN 0:34:44.239 --> 0:34:48.120 Playoff machine this morning, and I was not thinking in 0:34:48.200 --> 0:34:50.319 first round, but like, if they make the playoffs, if 0:34:50.360 --> 0:34:52.520 they win the first game, they could wind up having 0:34:52.520 --> 0:34:54.080 to go to lambeau Field. I want to do that. 0:34:54.080 --> 0:34:57.840 That's possible, Okay, I don't want to go there in decent, 0:34:57.960 --> 0:34:59.279 I mean in January. I don't want to go to 0:34:59.520 --> 0:35:01.440 Green Bay and you were the last time they were 0:35:01.480 --> 0:35:02.920 for the Cowboys player, because you don't want to go 0:35:03.000 --> 0:35:04.640 up in the cold. No. I just don't like going 0:35:04.680 --> 0:35:07.520 to Green Bay and freak in January. I mean, but 0:35:07.600 --> 0:35:09.799 like I said, it's called if you got this thing 0:35:09.880 --> 0:35:12.440 rolling where you're gonna run the football, and you could 0:35:12.520 --> 0:35:16.040 run over people. You could run. That's you are built 0:35:16.080 --> 0:35:18.040 for that. You are built to go and play in 0:35:18.040 --> 0:35:20.320 a game like that. And I will say they didn't 0:35:20.320 --> 0:35:22.400 against the Bears. I mean, I get it. They didn't. 0:35:22.400 --> 0:35:25.200 They didn't play like that. But I'm just saying, if 0:35:25.200 --> 0:35:27.399 they can, if they can get that swag back where 0:35:27.400 --> 0:35:30.040 they say, all right, let's run. It really was an 0:35:30.040 --> 0:35:33.040 inside outside deal. I mean I talked to Jason Witten 0:35:33.080 --> 0:35:35.880 about it just yesterday. He was like, that's kind of 0:35:35.920 --> 0:35:38.200 what we did. It was they just went back to 0:35:38.280 --> 0:35:40.640 basics and they were like, all right, we get Pollard, 0:35:40.719 --> 0:35:42.440 get him on the edge and let him go out there. 0:35:42.480 --> 0:35:45.560 We're gonna put Deek inside. It was inside outside. But 0:35:45.560 --> 0:35:47.360 they can do that same thing at and T Stadium, 0:35:47.360 --> 0:35:51.560 like without Derek having to hang out and Wisconsin and January. 0:35:51.600 --> 0:35:53.080 I just remember when we went up there last time. 0:35:53.080 --> 0:35:55.319 We got off the plane and I'm looking around and 0:35:55.360 --> 0:35:57.919 it just looks like Rocky for It looks like we're 0:35:57.920 --> 0:36:01.319 in Russia and we're having to face this this like 0:36:01.640 --> 0:36:04.359 I just I don't want to. I love it. I think, 0:36:04.960 --> 0:36:07.400 I mean, I know it's Dave, that's funny, Like that 0:36:07.440 --> 0:36:09.120 was a funny one do you guys, weren't They didn't 0:36:09.120 --> 0:36:15.680 see Rocky for oh? I Y, yeah, yeah, it was great. 0:36:15.920 --> 0:36:18.279 You haven't seen that one. I don't think i've seen four. You. 0:36:18.360 --> 0:36:22.680 I don't really watch a lot of movies and one. Sorry, 0:36:22.680 --> 0:36:25.399 I've seen the first two. If you can afford to 0:36:25.440 --> 0:36:28.080 get there and make it happen, like anybody that loves 0:36:28.120 --> 0:36:31.000 football should watch a game at Lambeau in the cold. 0:36:31.120 --> 0:36:33.120 I've done it cool, I know, but I'd be down 0:36:33.120 --> 0:36:34.759 to do it again. I've done it, don't need to 0:36:34.760 --> 0:36:37.719 do it again, done it a few times. Honestly. It's interesting, 0:36:37.760 --> 0:36:41.000 like if they make the playoffs again, all potential, but 0:36:41.080 --> 0:36:44.360 like it'll be a heck of a storyline either way, 0:36:44.440 --> 0:36:47.359 because I mean, it's Aaron Rodgers, it's the Niners, who 0:36:47.400 --> 0:36:51.759 they have extensive playoff history with, obviously, and it's Seahawks, 0:36:51.760 --> 0:36:54.560 who they kind of have a rivalry with at this point. 0:36:54.680 --> 0:37:00.000 So either way, don't I know that's like your favorite movie. 0:37:00.160 --> 0:37:04.160 I know it's good. It's if I'm the original movie. 0:37:04.200 --> 0:37:06.560 The Original is the best, and then if I'm gonna 0:37:06.560 --> 0:37:09.480 watch another Rocky movie, then I would watch four Crazy. 0:37:09.760 --> 0:37:13.600 Creed's better too. I've never even seen the first one, 0:37:13.920 --> 0:37:17.040 it's good. Never even seen the first one. It's I 0:37:17.080 --> 0:37:20.600 love three and I love four. I regret the opinion. 0:37:20.640 --> 0:37:22.840 I regret saying it's not that good because I forget, 0:37:22.840 --> 0:37:26.600 like Nick loves Rocky about the whole sequel. And I 0:37:26.640 --> 0:37:28.879 always loved Rocky two more than Rocky one because he won. 0:37:29.320 --> 0:37:32.640 Yeah to ruin it? You like you, oh oh, by 0:37:32.640 --> 0:37:35.000 the way you want to get into And I could 0:37:35.000 --> 0:37:38.080 just tell you a story, okay about ruining it. Ruining 0:37:38.160 --> 0:37:41.360 the movie Rocky two came out. I don't know, nineteen 0:37:41.560 --> 0:37:45.279 seventy nine, maybe I'm three years old. Movies out. He 0:37:45.320 --> 0:37:48.520 wins the next group of people, you know, the next 0:37:48.560 --> 0:37:51.520 showing at nine o'clock is there. I walked past the 0:37:51.719 --> 0:37:54.759 entire group and tell everyone. And I couldn't say my 0:37:54.880 --> 0:37:56.839 rs or my els until I was like five. I said, 0:37:57.280 --> 0:38:00.200 wakee one and that bat guy Yost and I told 0:38:00.200 --> 0:38:03.560 everyone as we watched by. Yeah, well really I had 0:38:03.560 --> 0:38:05.880 to tell them what happened. We just wanted them to 0:38:05.920 --> 0:38:09.400 know Rocky won them. I didn't know the guy's name, 0:38:09.440 --> 0:38:11.960 but no one's gonna happen. Movie was just a random 0:38:12.000 --> 0:38:16.440 black guy, black guy lost. That's yes, that's what it was. Sorry, 0:38:16.760 --> 0:38:21.200 I did not expect to be discussing Rocky two. Well, 0:38:21.719 --> 0:38:26.680 point is, point is, The point is here, and I 0:38:26.719 --> 0:38:30.600 wanted Cowboy you're taking knot, You're just easy the Rocky 0:38:30.680 --> 0:38:34.840 three story that that actually implies to this, okay. Jason 0:38:34.880 --> 0:38:38.840 Garrett twenty fifteen. Jason Garrett took the team to go 0:38:38.880 --> 0:38:41.480 see Rocky three at training camp. Okay, he thought that 0:38:41.560 --> 0:38:43.600 was real easy. Hey, guys, just tell the theater down 0:38:43.640 --> 0:38:46.520 the street. We put it Rocky three on. Well, Rocky three, 0:38:46.560 --> 0:38:49.480 he's not in the same format. We don't even have that. 0:38:49.600 --> 0:38:51.560 So they had to figure it out. They got it 0:38:51.560 --> 0:38:54.319 to work. They played. They watched Rocky three at one 0:38:54.440 --> 0:38:57.080 night at training camp, and he told the team, he said, listen, 0:38:57.120 --> 0:38:59.160 we're gonna play the Eagles in week two and in 0:38:59.200 --> 0:39:01.680 the fourth quarter there gonna play the Rocky music and 0:39:01.760 --> 0:39:04.279 everyone's gonna get excited and think, hey, this is our song, 0:39:05.080 --> 0:39:08.360 this is our song. We're Rocky. And that thing happened 0:39:08.440 --> 0:39:11.080 Week two of that year. Romo got hurt. YEP, Brandon 0:39:11.120 --> 0:39:13.279 Weedon was in there. They played the song and they 0:39:13.280 --> 0:39:15.879 sat around and they're like, just like Garrett said, this 0:39:15.960 --> 0:39:17.920 is our you know, and they won the game. Whatever, 0:39:17.960 --> 0:39:22.680 but they the players remember that. I don't remember that part. 0:39:22.719 --> 0:39:25.120 I remember Brandon Weedon hit Terrence on a slant that 0:39:25.320 --> 0:39:26.799 put the game. But a couple of the players were 0:39:26.800 --> 0:39:28.560 talking about because they talked about in the locker room 0:39:28.920 --> 0:39:31.640 how Jason It had already told us way back in August. 0:39:31.640 --> 0:39:33.440 Are they gonna watch that this week? I don't know, 0:39:33.680 --> 0:39:37.560 maybe play the song in the locker room, which I 0:39:37.680 --> 0:39:39.600 mentioned that at I mentioned that at the top of 0:39:39.600 --> 0:39:43.239 the show. It's pretty remarkable how good they've been in Philadelphia, 0:39:43.239 --> 0:39:45.320 because I think of that as a tough place to play. 0:39:45.520 --> 0:39:47.759 The Eagles are good more often than not, and they 0:39:47.840 --> 0:39:51.880 draw so much inspiration from Rocky. Sure, yep, they really do. No, 0:39:52.000 --> 0:39:55.080 seriously they do. He is like a god there. Like 0:39:55.200 --> 0:39:58.360 they do videos before the game of Rocky. It's really crazy, 0:39:58.640 --> 0:40:03.239 like this is a fi sditional character. But I just 0:40:03.280 --> 0:40:06.920 remember maybe maybe not. I just remember Chip Kelly one 0:40:07.000 --> 0:40:09.440 year was like, this is Philly and we fight, that's 0:40:09.440 --> 0:40:11.160 what we do, and like they all lost their mind. 0:40:11.160 --> 0:40:14.120 I was like, aren't you a little bit sort of 0:40:14.200 --> 0:40:18.160 not cool with that being your reputation? Like like I 0:40:18.200 --> 0:40:20.319 know Garrett uses fight too, but he means it in 0:40:20.360 --> 0:40:23.320 a different way in Philadelphia, Like that's what they're talking about. 0:40:23.480 --> 0:40:26.279 All right, let's get a call from Josh in Honolulu. Josh, 0:40:26.280 --> 0:40:32.160 what up? Nice? Hey, everybody, Aloha, enjoy the enjoy the 0:40:32.200 --> 0:40:34.880 show for y'all. Keeping from jumping off the stiff from 0:40:34.920 --> 0:40:37.680 week to week, UM got me off a little tangent 0:40:37.760 --> 0:40:40.240 talking about Rocky and anything like that about I snappy? 0:40:40.360 --> 0:40:42.359 Do not want to see Aaron Rodgers and that bad 0:40:42.400 --> 0:40:46.200 man coming to coming to the second and I don't 0:40:46.239 --> 0:40:52.399 believe no, but no, seriously, I'm encouraged by Sunday and 0:40:52.640 --> 0:40:55.359 half been all weeks, uh, from week to weeks out 0:40:55.400 --> 0:40:59.480 of players. But what I'm not um, what I want 0:40:59.480 --> 0:41:01.360 to see to consider to become it's from the coaches. 0:41:02.120 --> 0:41:04.440 I think one of the previous callists into that. You know, 0:41:04.480 --> 0:41:09.160 when the going gets going or the toughest going, hey, 0:41:09.239 --> 0:41:11.520 can they go back go to the going board at 0:41:11.560 --> 0:41:15.440 half time make adjustments or any game adjuftnance to overcome 0:41:15.719 --> 0:41:18.120 adentsted at halftime. And that's all I have to say 0:41:18.160 --> 0:41:21.520 in Enjoy the Top. All right. It's an interesting it's 0:41:21.520 --> 0:41:24.320 a good point. And I think Doug Peterson's a great coach. 0:41:25.280 --> 0:41:28.000 Um he you know, he's he's at the forefront of 0:41:28.000 --> 0:41:30.640 the analytics stuff. You know, he's he's he knows how 0:41:30.680 --> 0:41:32.719 to call fakes at a time when his team needs it. 0:41:33.480 --> 0:41:38.279 Um Garrett. Garrett's been good against him though. But but 0:41:38.520 --> 0:41:40.359 my point is is the I mean, the Eagles need 0:41:40.400 --> 0:41:42.600 this just as badly as the Cowboys. Yeah, and you 0:41:42.640 --> 0:41:45.240 can talk about their injuries all you want. They've found 0:41:45.239 --> 0:41:48.719 ways to win their last two games. And that that 0:41:48.880 --> 0:41:50.759 is I hadn't really thought about until the caller brought 0:41:50.760 --> 0:41:53.640 it up. But like that is troubling because I mean, 0:41:53.800 --> 0:41:56.400 I think Doug Peterson's a better coach than Jason Garrett, 0:41:56.440 --> 0:41:58.000 and he's got a lot on the line in this 0:41:58.040 --> 0:42:00.120 game as well, you know, And you could probably he 0:42:00.200 --> 0:42:04.320 said the exact same thing Um on Friday, and you 0:42:04.360 --> 0:42:07.920 could have said, I think and he's got more on 0:42:07.960 --> 0:42:10.319 the line. Sure, because they did. And that's out of it. 0:42:10.360 --> 0:42:14.000 I thought. Babe Laffenberg made a really good point. Listen, 0:42:14.120 --> 0:42:16.960 criticize Garrett all you want. It's fair. It's more than 0:42:17.120 --> 0:42:19.440 well paid for it. But Babe went on Twitter, I 0:42:19.480 --> 0:42:22.040 guess last night or Sunday night and was like, like, 0:42:22.120 --> 0:42:24.520 I haven't seen a word of praise for Jason Garrett 0:42:24.560 --> 0:42:26.640 for winning this game. And I know if the roles 0:42:26.640 --> 0:42:29.560 were reversed, Sean McVay would be the toast of the league. 0:42:30.000 --> 0:42:32.239 And I think that's very true. And it's it's you know, 0:42:32.280 --> 0:42:35.160 it's confirmation bias. Is you know, if the Cowboys do well, 0:42:35.520 --> 0:42:37.520 it's never because of Jason, and if they do poorly, 0:42:37.880 --> 0:42:41.200 it's always his fault. So he does deserve yeah, which 0:42:41.239 --> 0:42:42.840 is why you make five million dollars a year to 0:42:42.840 --> 0:42:46.400 do it. And Jason has the saying for it comes 0:42:46.400 --> 0:42:48.960 with the dinner. It comes with the dinner. Does this this? 0:42:49.239 --> 0:42:51.000 You know, that's part of being the head coach to 0:42:51.040 --> 0:42:53.799 the Cowboys. He he knows that he gets it. But um, 0:42:53.960 --> 0:42:56.360 I think the caller's right. You know, they need to 0:42:56.520 --> 0:42:59.359 go and and you know see, I think that they 0:42:59.360 --> 0:43:02.480 would be in better shape if they had a battle 0:43:02.520 --> 0:43:05.360 tested win against the Eagles, one of those games that 0:43:05.400 --> 0:43:07.560 the Eagles have been winning back and forth where wins 0:43:07.600 --> 0:43:10.040 has to drive him down. I think if if that happens, 0:43:10.320 --> 0:43:12.680 I think that would be the best thing for the Cowboys. 0:43:12.680 --> 0:43:15.600 As if DA's got the ball drives down the field 0:43:15.719 --> 0:43:18.719 with that broken finger of his I'm kidding, um, they're 0:43:18.800 --> 0:43:23.040 calling it Fingergate. I mean haroline fractures what they called it. 0:43:23.120 --> 0:43:26.040 I think it's a cut, is it. That's just that's 0:43:26.080 --> 0:43:29.480 what I would cut. And that's not Yes, it's it's 0:43:29.520 --> 0:43:33.040 like a difference in like pain and all that. But 0:43:33.120 --> 0:43:35.600 if you're throwing a football, I would imagine that even 0:43:35.680 --> 0:43:37.879 a cut, I mean, anything that seems kind of weird 0:43:38.520 --> 0:43:40.320 is still going to affect the throw. Doesn't have to 0:43:40.360 --> 0:43:42.120 be a fracture. I don't think it is a fracture, 0:43:42.160 --> 0:43:44.000 but I think it's I mean, he looked a little 0:43:44.040 --> 0:43:46.160 off on Sunday. He had some I mean, you know, 0:43:46.200 --> 0:43:48.520 people criticize his accuracy anyway, but he looked a little 0:43:48.600 --> 0:43:50.840 inaccurate at times, especially in the early going. Went and 0:43:50.880 --> 0:43:53.960 said I got you. Yeah, yeah, I mean he said, 0:43:54.000 --> 0:43:55.640 he said that was a bad ball on his part. 0:43:55.680 --> 0:43:57.600 Wouldn't just made a hell of a play? Garrett said, 0:43:57.600 --> 0:43:59.759 it was a great pass. Oh well that's not what 0:43:59.840 --> 0:44:02.080 they guy who threw it side. So all right, guys, 0:44:02.120 --> 0:44:03.720 I appreciate it. You john us. We'll be back tomorrow 0:44:03.719 --> 0:44:06.160 our normal time. We'll get into this Philadelphia offense. Dave 0:44:06.160 --> 0:44:08.080 will give us a breakdown. Nick will breakdown all the 0:44:08.160 --> 0:44:10.320 storylines that we should hit this week till then for 0:44:10.440 --> 0:44:13.320 Nick Even, Dave Hellman, Danny Surrect.
