Speaker 5: Oh well, yeah, keep texting over there. We may need
Speaker 5: that information in the show.
Speaker 2: We have as a matter of fifteen years.
Speaker 5: As a matter of fact, we're gonna talk injury. So
Speaker 5: my guess is maybe that's gonna be why I'm coming
Speaker 5: into here. We'll get into that here, and then in
Speaker 5: the second segment we'll maybe even the first second, we'll
Speaker 5: get into some some notes on this Giants defense and
Speaker 5: how it matches up with the Cowboys offense, and then
Speaker 5: we'll get to some just match up questions about this
Speaker 5: matchup between the Cowboys and Giants that happened tomorrow Thanksgiving
Speaker 5: Day at at and T Stadium, and.
Speaker 3: We better win, Okay.
Speaker 8: They they have better win tomorrow because I I don't
Speaker 8: want to go another week with depression.
Speaker 9: Eleven days that is.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, because it's Monday night the next one.
Speaker 5: Are you at the point where where it sits in
Speaker 5: like depression when they because I'm at a point now
Speaker 5: where I'm.
Speaker 3: Kind of like, whatever happens happens. I'm thinking of this
Speaker 3: as I happen.
Speaker 8: Seven you're not posting on social like this affects social media.
Speaker 5: I see the numbers, and the numbers certainly they don't
Speaker 5: make me feel great when when we don't win. But
Speaker 5: I guess the point is, like I've gotten the point now.
Speaker 5: I was kind of like, I'm thinking of it. Every
Speaker 5: game is just an episode of a television show, and
Speaker 5: it is isolated to just that game, and I'm enjoying
Speaker 5: that game for what that game is, and when it's over,
Speaker 5: it kind.
Speaker 8: Of is over because you know, it's different with Thanksgiving.
Speaker 8: It's like, by the end of it, you're like, what
Speaker 8: the heck time I here? Like why did I even
Speaker 8: work here? Like the game, you go through it, you're
Speaker 8: not really spending it with your family. You feel like
Speaker 8: you're missing out when you see text or pictures and
Speaker 8: you're like, all this for what for us to lose?
Speaker 8: You know, It's just it's different when they win.
Speaker 2: Even in like ten years now, Come on, it's different.
Speaker 8: It's different.
Speaker 2: Like Tom Brady who was surprised he had to work
Speaker 2: a Begsgiving game, Like what that I have to call
Speaker 2: a game? You know that kind of thing. Come on again,
Speaker 2: you've been in League ten years.
Speaker 8: I thought we had the enditing You go on to
Speaker 8: Rent yesterday talking about how you want them to win
Speaker 8: and how different it is.
Speaker 2: No, I was That's what I'm talking about. My rent
Speaker 2: is Yeah, No, No, I mean my rant I thought
Speaker 2: was well time it was.
Speaker 8: Oh, mine is. Going back to your point, it's similar.
Speaker 8: Given I thought I thought.
Speaker 2: You were going to get emotionally involved. I thought you
Speaker 2: were not going to remember you were kind of talking
Speaker 2: about you could disconnect from it, talking about that like
Speaker 2: I'm not letting it bother me kind of a thing.
Speaker 8: It doesn't. But I mean, after I experienced what a
Speaker 8: win is again, it's been a while, so after experiencing that,
Speaker 8: I'm like, Okay, I like the feeling of this, so
Speaker 8: let's do it again.
Speaker 2: I understand. I mean, but like I said, I what
Speaker 2: I said yesterday is because it's to me, it's that's
Speaker 2: why we do this. Yeah, that's why we do this
Speaker 2: so you can win these games and get that feeling
Speaker 2: of this. But some people have just disconnected from this
Speaker 2: season though they really have.
Speaker 5: You know, well, I think that the good thing is
Speaker 5: if they can get this thing rolling, then I think
Speaker 5: at least for all of us that are that are
Speaker 5: paying attention, it'll be the fun of just winning an
Speaker 5: individual game. And I think that's how you have to
Speaker 5: look at it. It doesn't have to be a bigger picture
Speaker 5: to it right now. Right now, it is can you
Speaker 5: just get a win. I just want to see wins
Speaker 5: because wins are fun and it's fun to especially especially
Speaker 5: when you play in division rivals like yeah, when you
Speaker 5: play in the division.
Speaker 3: Get the win, man. I want to see wins. So
Speaker 3: let's see if we can do that.
Speaker 2: About the great thing about sports is that every time
Speaker 2: you think that you don't have a chance, something crazy
Speaker 2: does happen. You know, something happens. A team is ten
Speaker 2: games back in baseball and they kind of they it
Speaker 2: goes down to the last game, you know, and you
Speaker 2: could get disappointed or you could be extremely happy. But
Speaker 2: that's a great thing about sports that you just every
Speaker 2: time you think it's it's just you know, it's something happens, honestly.
Speaker 2: But if you lose the Giants, you can go back
Speaker 2: to that feeling of sports suck.
Speaker 5: I actually I root for what you call Brian, you
Speaker 5: know you talk about I know you do these all
Speaker 5: the time in your life, these feats of strength, like
Speaker 5: challenging yourself to do these things that are just kind
Speaker 5: of outside of what most normal people would consider they
Speaker 5: want to do.
Speaker 3: I root for that in sports, like I root for.
Speaker 5: Moments when you can see teams or individual players do
Speaker 5: exceptional things, so you know it. There is something to
Speaker 5: watching a team that's been bad get on a run
Speaker 5: and then be like, oh, oh they're making it interesting.
Speaker 5: Maybe they can do something that seems insurmountable, right, I
Speaker 5: just I like those kind of things.
Speaker 3: That's what sports is for me. It's fun to watch
Speaker 3: those kind of moments.
Speaker 2: You just hate everything.
Speaker 9: He just said, I hate all sports.
Speaker 7: I hate all of this. I don't know why I
Speaker 7: do it every day. It's Uh, there's a beauty in
Speaker 7: the journey, beauty in the struggle.
Speaker 2: If you will, it's been a struggle, no doubt about Wow.
Speaker 5: All right, let's stop pontificating on that. Let's get back
Speaker 5: to football and what the Cowboys are going to do tomorrow.
Speaker 5: Let's talk about the injury situation. Trayvon Diggs goes from
Speaker 5: limited two days ago to yesterday, yesterday not practicing.
Speaker 3: What are we hearing about him?
Speaker 9: Might be Josh Butler's time again. Tomorrow.
Speaker 7: It's gonna be close for Trayvon Diggs. We'll get the
Speaker 7: availability report later today. That'll be big for him. Kendricks
Speaker 7: and Neeland will get into those two later, but for Diggs,
Speaker 7: I think it's gonna be close. Yesterday was not a
Speaker 7: step in the right direction.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 5: Awesome Richards, Eric Kendricks, Marshaw, Neeland, Zach Martin, Jake Ferguson
Speaker 5: all did not practice. Tell me if any of those
Speaker 5: are expected to play.
Speaker 7: I think Neiland's going to be close. And Kendricks is
Speaker 7: also trending in the wrong direction. I think he needed
Speaker 7: to get on the field yesterday and he did not.
Speaker 7: So that middle linebacker spot. I've actually talked about this
Speaker 7: with a few people. That's one that's going to be
Speaker 7: decided late, just because Nick vigil is also on the
Speaker 7: injury report. They've used Darius Harris in the past at
Speaker 7: that spot whenever Kendricks couldn't go. I would expect an
Speaker 7: elevation for Harris regardless anyway. But I think it's going
Speaker 7: to get a little interesting there.
Speaker 2: If this thing was on Sunday, I think you'd have
Speaker 2: a better shot with Kendricks. But you know, I when
Speaker 2: when when you hear people kind of talk about it, Hey,
Speaker 2: we got forty eight hours and then now you've got,
Speaker 2: you know, twenty four hours, and you know it just
Speaker 2: it didn't sound particularly that one. Martin didn't sound good.
Speaker 2: Ferguson didn't sound good. The digs one. I think Nick's
Speaker 2: absolutely right on that one. That's it's if it's a
Speaker 2: Sunday game, maybe you have a chance, but that the
Speaker 2: one didn't sound particularly good.
Speaker 3: Is so Neeland really is only one.
Speaker 5: I've a list you guys say, has a chance really
Speaker 5: a decent chance.
Speaker 7: I'd say it's the best chance, the best chance, the
Speaker 7: best chance of those of those three guys of Neeland,
Speaker 7: Diggs and kendricks.
Speaker 9: But yeah, there are guys I do expect to play.
Speaker 7: I think Brandon Cooks is going to get activated today,
Speaker 7: so that'll be big. And then guys I don't expect
Speaker 7: to play. You mentioned Richard four game.
Speaker 2: Who do you looking at?
Speaker 7: Kaylin Carson? He popped up yesterday. That shoulder is really bothering,
Speaker 7: goes on. I think this is a situation where they
Speaker 7: potentially shut him down with that shoulder.
Speaker 9: That's That's what I'm keeping an eye on.
Speaker 7: I think Austin Richards is also a possibility, though, but
Speaker 7: they feel a little bit more confident they could get
Speaker 7: him back in less than four weeks.
Speaker 5: It was interesting I heard Eric kendricks on with you
Speaker 5: guys on one five three the Fan yesterday, and it
Speaker 5: was interesting how he was talking about, like, you know
Speaker 5: that that turnaround of a Thursday game.
Speaker 2: It hurts a lot.
Speaker 5: It's hurts, it's hurt in it for for vets, I
Speaker 5: think it's even more of a challenge, especially those that
Speaker 5: are battling those injuries that they kind of just are
Speaker 5: making work all season. When they got seven days to
Speaker 5: get ready again, having that quick turnaround, it's it's really
Speaker 5: really tough. There are a couple other limited guys that
Speaker 5: we need to check on. Cooper Rush and Tyler Smith
Speaker 5: and CD Lamb.
Speaker 3: Those are other limited guys.
Speaker 9: Yeah, looking good for all three of those.
Speaker 7: Ceedee Lamb he we were able to talk to him
Speaker 7: yesterday during the UH during media availability, and he said
Speaker 7: he's just banged up right now as he's been in
Speaker 7: his entire career.
Speaker 9: But he's going to keep pushing.
Speaker 7: He said, he's good to go to play on Thursday,
Speaker 7: but he's going through a lot NFL leader and receptions.
Speaker 7: I believe he's third in the NFL and receiving yards
Speaker 7: and given all everything that's happened over the course of
Speaker 7: this season, that's pretty impressive for him. There's a deeper
Speaker 7: conversation to Ceedee Lamb and how how much he's showing
Speaker 7: his value right now. But I expect him to play
Speaker 7: on Thursday. As far as Cooper Rush goes just battling
Speaker 7: a little bit of a knee soreness. He should be
Speaker 7: good to go. And then Tyler Smith, he's in the
Speaker 7: heading in the right direction. He got on the practice
Speaker 7: field yesterday.
Speaker 2: Again.
Speaker 9: I think he'll play tomorrow.
Speaker 2: I was talking with the guys the Giants yesterday there,
Speaker 2: we should be ready for two quarterbacks here.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was gonna ask about that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah they that. Uh with Divido, there's legitimate.
Speaker 2: I mean, he's telling the media and stuff he's going
Speaker 2: to play. But they've all they've they've they've worked Drew
Speaker 2: Locke with some first team reps. And I said, well,
Speaker 2: what do you think? And they said, you guys just
Speaker 2: go to be ready for two quarterbacks potentially because we
Speaker 2: don't know. But lock he goes, my guy goes. Locke
Speaker 2: is getting first team reps.
Speaker 9: I think Locke is has starter potential in the NFL.
Speaker 2: That's what scares me.
Speaker 5: You think it was a scatter report. Can you give
Speaker 5: me a quick scatter report on him and what you
Speaker 5: like about him? Would you say he's a gamer?
Speaker 7: He's just a gamer, Like he's not gonna blow you
Speaker 7: away stats wise, But kind of similar to how bon
Speaker 7: Nix has started his career. I think Drew Lock had
Speaker 7: a similar start in Denver and then it just I
Speaker 7: think teams figured him out pretty easily. But he's just
Speaker 7: a gamer. He figures out how to win ball games.
Speaker 7: I'm a big Drew Lock guy personally.
Speaker 2: Do you do you have you seen Garrett Nesmeyer play
Speaker 2: at l s U.
Speaker 9: Yes, that is fun. That is a fun competent.
Speaker 2: Garrett Nessmeier and Drew Lock are the same guy. Okay,
Speaker 2: it's like wheels off, but it could be wheels off
Speaker 2: in the way crazy. But then it also the wheels
Speaker 2: get back on the track. And now there's like throws
Speaker 2: you've never seen before, and there's an attitude about you.
Speaker 2: There's an arrogance about you. There's a you know, it's
Speaker 2: almost like what Romo had to that ability to like
Speaker 2: just manufacture things. The feed are bad. It's throwing sidearm.
Speaker 2: You know, he's shoveling the ball. That's what Drew Lock. Now,
Speaker 2: he'll throw you interception too now because of the way
Speaker 2: he plays. But the Giants offensively, with the way they
Speaker 2: run the ball, and if they're going to load it
Speaker 2: up with neighbors, Drew Locke gives them a chance to
Speaker 2: win a game. I don't know if Tommy DeVito gives
Speaker 2: you a chance to really really win a game. But
Speaker 2: Drew Locke playing, I think that would be a bad
Speaker 2: situation for Dallas.
Speaker 8: So why did that make the decision?
Speaker 2: Money? They didn't want to pay the guy. He's got
Speaker 2: bonuses if he plays, he gets a two hundred and
Speaker 2: fifty thousand dollars bonus for every time he plays forty
Speaker 2: fifty percent. So they were thinking that. But they're also
Speaker 2: in a situation where their locker room ain't very happy
Speaker 2: right now, you know.
Speaker 3: And might get them that kind of win on that day.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they and the Giants need to win. I mean
Speaker 2: they need to win in the worst way, much like
Speaker 2: Ambar needed to win last week. Yeah, you know, they
Speaker 2: need to win. And so that's I'm surprised that they
Speaker 2: let their pocketbook get in the way of of there
Speaker 2: of a chance to win a football game. But I
Speaker 2: think if Drew Locke plays tomorrow, man, just hang onto
Speaker 2: your rear here we go.
Speaker 5: Do you think you could also be a little bit
Speaker 5: of that organic tanking where you're like, okay, let's put
Speaker 5: the guy out there. Yeah, it works for us to
Speaker 5: put de Vito out there because it's the worst case,
Speaker 5: worst case scenario, we lose and we get a better
Speaker 5: draft pick. Is there.
Speaker 3: Do you think maybe there's some of that that happens.
Speaker 9: Probably, I think so.
Speaker 7: I think everybody's looking around in that building and seeing
Speaker 7: that everything's about to get blown up.
Speaker 9: It could happen as soon as Friday.
Speaker 3: You mean the coach.
Speaker 7: Yes, I think it could happen as soon as if
Speaker 7: they've dropped a two to ten with a ten day break, Eh,
Speaker 7: is it?
Speaker 2: Joe? I would say his name wrong, Joe Shane Jane.
Speaker 2: I think always I don't know him. So if I
Speaker 2: don't know you that, well, yeah, I don't know your name,
Speaker 2: but Joe. But Josie, he's a you know, he's a
Speaker 2: young guy. Yeah, evidently a talented guy. But he was
Speaker 2: out scouting. He was in Colorado this week looking at
Speaker 2: their players. Yeah, so you kind of wonder, is he's
Speaker 2: sticking around or are they really going to blow this
Speaker 2: thing up? With the coach and the.
Speaker 9: Gentleman Sammy as well for cam Warden.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so he's making the rounds at these wider it's
Speaker 2: gonna be the quarterback.
Speaker 3: Isn't this his first year's gim or his second?
Speaker 2: I think he's been there a little bit longer than that. Yeah, sure, yeah,
Speaker 2: I think he's like a I think he's a three
Speaker 2: four year guy. Okay, actually yeah, because I think he
Speaker 2: came with day Ball and then David. Their very first
Speaker 2: year they went to the playoffs. Yeah, and so they
Speaker 2: kind of bought themselves some grace there and then it's
Speaker 2: been a little bit downhill ever since.
Speaker 5: Well, I think the part that everybody keeps looking at
Speaker 5: is when you look at hard Knocks and you hear
Speaker 5: the owners say, oh, I don't.
Speaker 3: Want to see our running John Merrin new I don't.
Speaker 5: Want to see our running back lighting it up somewhere else,
Speaker 5: and then to have to watch what he's doing right
Speaker 5: now in Philly.
Speaker 3: Like that, that's certainly tell you what read a lot
Speaker 3: of confidence.
Speaker 2: If if I was running a two and nine franchise,
Speaker 2: you wouldn't see me back in the building. I would
Speaker 2: be looking at every you know, if I still had
Speaker 2: a gig, like, hey where are you today? Uh? Seattle, Washington?
Speaker 2: Where are you gonna be tomorrow?
Speaker 10: Uh?
Speaker 2: Los Angeles, California? You know, I would literally I would
Speaker 2: not be catch you. They can't buy you. I would
Speaker 2: not want I would not want to walk. I would
Speaker 2: not want to walk into the dining hall and all sudden,
Speaker 2: John Merrior is getting a cup of old Gray tea,
Speaker 2: you know, Earl Gray tea or whatever you want to
Speaker 2: call it, and he's like you kind of give you
Speaker 2: a nod, like, yeah, you've.
Speaker 3: Been meaning to catch up with you want to come
Speaker 3: by the office.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't want that. You don't want that. You
Speaker 2: end up like your match, You end up like me
Speaker 2: with parcels in the locker room. You don't want to
Speaker 2: do that. That's a bad idea, bad idea. All right,
Speaker 2: Captain Morgan p Yeah, all right, let's.
Speaker 3: Go ahead and get you gets our first break.
Speaker 5: When we come back, we're going to dive into this
Speaker 5: New York Giant defense. Awful some interesting things on that defense.
Speaker 5: It reminds me a lot of what we were looking
Speaker 5: at last week when we were talking about the Washington Commanders.
Speaker 5: But we'll talk about that when we come back. Stalls

Speaker 2: you know, kind of in a in a fashionable way
Speaker 2: for that kind of group you want to call them
Speaker 2: what it was. So they're all dressed up, very careful,
Speaker 2: very careful, and Manny's like, hey, yeah, what are you.
Speaker 2: Who are you? I'm Brian brought us and I reached
Speaker 2: into my jacket. I literally reached into my jacket and
Speaker 2: every one of their guys drew on me, guns on me,
Speaker 2: and I'm like, Parson all sent me. I got tickets.
Speaker 2: There were and I mean literally they all drew. When
Speaker 2: I went into my jacket to get the tickets out
Speaker 2: of my pocket, guns were pulled and and then and
Speaker 2: like man, it's like, oh, Parcels sent you. That's okay,
Speaker 2: that's good, you know. And then they all put there
Speaker 2: and I had dinner with those guys that night. They
Speaker 2: all took me upstairs. The Pinna vodka sauce was tremendous.
Speaker 2: They're telling stories and it was it was like being
Speaker 2: an episode of Sopranos of.
Speaker 3: The stories of stories you can't repeat.
Speaker 2: I can't repeat a couple of it because they would go, hey, hey,
Speaker 2: tell tell the kid, tell the kid about the time
Speaker 2: on the Parkway.
Speaker 9: And I would walk through that door right there and
Speaker 9: I would I.
Speaker 2: Was like, yeah, what happened about the apartment? But they
Speaker 2: had these stories. But literally I reached into my jacket
Speaker 2: to grab those tickets and they all drew and I
Speaker 2: I just went no, Parcels sent me, I've got tickets.
Speaker 2: I've got tickets, and he's like, oh, okay, yeah, okay.
Speaker 2: Everybody's standing around.
Speaker 8: Just it was just like Adam, a little bit of
Speaker 8: pea come out.
Speaker 2: No. I I kind of was able to survey the
Speaker 2: room and think Parcells just sent me into a uh
Speaker 2: you know, like going to the botty being or where
Speaker 2: if you watch then yeah, he sent me into. Instead
Speaker 2: of going into there, I was going into a men's
Speaker 2: clothing store that they obviously use as their business.
Speaker 7: My funniest conspiracy is as this was a Parcels scheme
Speaker 7: to get rid of you.
Speaker 2: That's hilarious.
Speaker 9: You walk back at the office, He's.
Speaker 3: Like, oh, you made it back.
Speaker 2: I went back. I went back and he goes everything Okay,
Speaker 2: everything okay, And I guess maybe parcel maybe they maybe
Speaker 2: Mandy told Parcels what happened. He goes everything Okay. I'm like,
Speaker 2: I don't ever do that again. Don't ever do that.
Speaker 2: Guess what what what? They're just guys football? Yeah, like,
Speaker 2: I don't ever do that again. Your friends. Don't don't
Speaker 2: do that to me anymore. Parcels had a lot of
Speaker 2: people up there. I used to have to make like
Speaker 2: when I go up there and Scout, I would have
Speaker 2: dropped things off and went to an ice cream store
Speaker 2: one time.
Speaker 3: I mean, he's a Jersey guy? Is he was? He
Speaker 3: born and raised there?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 2: I where was Parcels born? But he's just I mean.
Speaker 3: His obviously he's spent a lot of years up there,
Speaker 3: But is.
Speaker 2: He Is he a Jersey guy?
Speaker 9: Because I've worn in Nglewood, New Jersey.
Speaker 2: Okay, there you go, but he Yeah, those those are
Speaker 2: his guys. I mean, everywhere you went. If you said
Speaker 2: you knew, now I had a guy real quick sponsored
Speaker 2: by Yetti, Sponsored by Yetti.
Speaker 3: The great part is we're talking about the giants anyway.
Speaker 2: There's there's that when you drive in you know that
Speaker 2: Sheraton is it's still there. That Sheraton hotel that's right
Speaker 2: by the stadium. There's that huge Sheraton. When you go
Speaker 2: when you go to the Anymore, look for the Sheridan
Speaker 2: right across the street. So anyway, the guy who ran
Speaker 2: the Sheridan across the street, it's a cowboys fan. But
Speaker 2: he like, I would bring him gear, like I'd bring
Speaker 2: him shirts and hats and stuff. But he said, listen, man,
Speaker 2: he goes, please put it in a box, wrap it up.
Speaker 2: Don't don't don't just hand it to me when you know,
Speaker 2: I mean, because I'll get in trouble here. I'll get
Speaker 2: in trouble these people and they don't they don't understand this.
Speaker 2: This you know, I'm like, okay, cool. So when I
Speaker 2: would go to the Sheridan, I'd check in. Man, I
Speaker 2: had the best I mean, I was concierge floor, everything
Speaker 2: about it was great. But I'm a little box. I'd
Speaker 2: carry him arm, you know. I was like, I was
Speaker 2: like a New Jersey delivery guy. I was going to Boies,
Speaker 2: going to like all these other little places delivering stuff
Speaker 2: for parcels. But but my guy, my guy up there
Speaker 2: at New Jersey who ran the shirt, it was a
Speaker 2: it was a Cowboys fan, but he couldn't let anybody
Speaker 2: know that he was a Cowboys fan. But he took
Speaker 2: Manny took great care of me up there.
Speaker 5: I kind of want to go visit Manny, just.
Speaker 2: Just I don't. I don't know if Manny's still with us.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, I mean, I don't know that he was
Speaker 2: an older gentleman. He was an older gentleman. Nothing nothing weird,
Speaker 2: nothing weird, But we don't know. Something weird could have
Speaker 2: happened the way man Many was in the line of
Speaker 2: business where making clothes, clothes can get dangerous. He was taking.
Speaker 9: Clothes waste management on the side.
Speaker 2: He was running he was running the tailor shop. Wow,
Speaker 2: but but those guys, I swear, I just.
Speaker 9: All right, that's great.
Speaker 3: Back to the giants. That was that was a great story, Brian,
Speaker 3: Back to the giants.
Speaker 2: Let's talk about the parcels. I swear. Let's talk about
Speaker 2: I never thought he was trying to off me up
Speaker 2: there or something like that.
Speaker 3: You know, I didn't either, But that's actually a good point.
Speaker 3: Like he's like, we'll see how this pans out.
Speaker 2: Maybe I won't have to make them.
Speaker 3: I'm like's tickets, all right, let's talk about this giant.
Speaker 2: Like the god thought it. Take the canoe. Take the canoe,
Speaker 2: leave the gun, take the tickets, leave the gun.
Speaker 3: All right, all right, let's get to sea.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 5: Reminds me of last week the Washington defense from the
Speaker 5: standpoint of they are at exact opposites when it comes
Speaker 5: to their two units. Uh as far as their past
Speaker 5: defense or seventh in the league, their first in sack
Speaker 5: percentage in ten point six percent of the title of
Speaker 5: dropbacks they get a sack. They're third in yards yards
Speaker 5: after the catch that they allow in the league. So
Speaker 5: let's talk first about the passing defense. Who are the
Speaker 5: rushers that the that the Cowboys need to be most
Speaker 5: concerned about? And where do you think they'll be matching
Speaker 5: up Which offensive lineman you think they'll be matching up against?
Speaker 9: I mean, I'm looking at Lawrence and Burns.
Speaker 7: Granted, this pass rush has kind of started to tail
Speaker 7: off a little bit. They were leading the league in
Speaker 7: sacks up until about three weeks ago. Now, yeah, and
Speaker 7: it's it's it's been rough, but Dex the injuries that
Speaker 7: affected that U not to my knowledge, not to this
Speaker 7: has actually been a mostly healthy unit.
Speaker 2: Really healthy signe.
Speaker 9: Yeah, and they're young too. In the secondary.
Speaker 7: We'll talk about that, but I think pass rush perspective,
Speaker 7: I look at Lawrence and Burns.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think the one you really really
Speaker 2: have to worry about is Burns. Thibodeaux is capable. I
Speaker 2: think they thought that Thibodeau was going to be this,
Speaker 2: you know, maybe the second coming of a DeMarcus Ware
Speaker 2: or somebody like that. Maybe not a Lorren's table. I mean,
Speaker 2: the Giants have have a history of great offensive linemen,
Speaker 2: and then they've also had a history of great rushers
Speaker 2: edge rushers, and Thibodeau was supposed to be that guy.
Speaker 2: Brian Burns is does a great job with his pressures.
Speaker 2: Dexter Wawars. Let me tell you this about Dexter Lawrence.
Speaker 2: Dexter Lawrence gets doubled a lot. The Cowboys doubled him.
Speaker 2: And I checked this because I went back and watched
Speaker 2: the game. There were twenty five drop back attempts in
Speaker 2: that game against in Week four, they doubled him twenty
Speaker 2: of the times.
Speaker 3: Ooh, so they see him as the problem.
Speaker 2: They see him as the problem. So I would anticipate,
Speaker 2: once again, that's the second most that anybody's been doubled
Speaker 2: this year by the way he gets he faces, Like
Speaker 2: you look at the metrics on him with double numbers,
Speaker 2: it's like sixty four percent. Nobody wants this guy to
Speaker 2: beat them, and he could do it. He's got nine
Speaker 2: damn sacks, you know. I mean, he's gonna pressure you.
Speaker 2: He's a big man. He's gonna push you, he's gonna
Speaker 2: throw you, he's gonna you know, he causes problems. He
Speaker 2: didn't come off the field and Nickel, they just rush him.
Speaker 2: So that's where you have. I think you have to
Speaker 2: worry about him inside number ninety seven, and then you
Speaker 2: have to worry about the number zero Burns, Brian Burns,
Speaker 2: and and maybe we'll see with Thibodeau the situation. They've
Speaker 2: done a pretty good job when they faced him in
Speaker 2: the in the in the times that they've been able
Speaker 2: to do that.
Speaker 9: You mentioned injuries as he's uh Jalari he's now gone. Yeah,
Speaker 9: So I mean.
Speaker 7: That's that's a guy that's hopped on the IR that
Speaker 7: was helping their past rush.
Speaker 2: He was, he was, he was, he was playing up
Speaker 2: until this week. Yeah, and then they put him on.
Speaker 2: They put him on the IR. But overall though they've
Speaker 2: played a lot of snaps. This defense has together.
Speaker 3: When you look at the secondary, where's the weak link.
Speaker 7: It's young, but the young guys have played really well.
Speaker 7: I love Andrew Phillips, a rookie out of Kentucky, ended
Speaker 7: up going a lot later in the draft than I expected,
Speaker 7: but he's playing for them and doing.
Speaker 9: Some great stuff.
Speaker 7: Also, Tyler Nuban is a rookie out of Minnesota, so
Speaker 7: they talked about him quite a bit as far as
Speaker 7: a run defender, and I think he does really well
Speaker 7: stepping up in the run and doing some things there.
Speaker 7: But I'm not confident in Deontay Banks. It's their second year,
Speaker 7: first round pick out of Maryland. He just hasn't figured
Speaker 7: it out. I think it's fortunate for the Cowboys because
Speaker 7: you looked at two corners going the first round in
Speaker 7: twenty twenty three in the division. You had Deontay Banks
Speaker 7: go to New York. You had Emmanuel Forbes go to Washington,
Speaker 7: and neither of those guys have really panned out. And
Speaker 7: both of those guys are starting to see snaps taken away.
Speaker 7: Banks is questionable tomorrow as well, so that's something to
Speaker 7: keep an eye on. But I think whoever is whoever's
Speaker 7: lined up against Banks, if he does play, that's probably
Speaker 7: where you're able to find some consistency.
Speaker 9: I will say this is a good game for Brandon
Speaker 9: Cooks to come back.
Speaker 7: You need multiple action on both sides of both sides
Speaker 7: of the formation. And I think if they can do
Speaker 7: this crosser action with Lamb and Cooks like they did
Speaker 7: so many times last year, I think they'll find successful
Speaker 7: both of those guys.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think the reason that maybe the Banks
Speaker 2: is struggling so bad is they'll travel him. He's a
Speaker 2: traveling guy, you know, and and what happens when you're
Speaker 2: a traveling guy, they you're traveling with their with the
Speaker 2: opponent's best guy. And unfortunately for the Giants, he's traveling
Speaker 2: with the opponent's best guy and they're still throwing the
Speaker 2: ball his direction. He gets targeted a lot. There's a
Speaker 2: lot of receptions this This secondary has one interception, has
Speaker 2: one and it's a linebacker. The linebacker Darius Moss Moussau
Speaker 2: has the only interception that this this crew has the pressure.
Speaker 2: Like I said, the last three weeks, they have not
Speaker 2: got as far as sacks, they have not got any
Speaker 2: of that. But I think Banks I think Banks gets
Speaker 2: picked on because they travel him and their teams are like, nah,
Speaker 2: you're you're still not good enough to go. Now, if
Speaker 2: you just look at the numbers two for for Phillips
Speaker 2: the nickel, there teams are throwing. The team's got an
Speaker 2: eighty percent completion percentage against him throwing the ball. So
Speaker 2: you know, he's he's, he's they're they're they're not going
Speaker 2: on after him like there are Banks. I've always thought
Speaker 2: that Cordell flop was he's number twenty eight. I've always
Speaker 2: felt like every time that he's lined up because he's
Speaker 2: a tall, thin he's a kid played at LSU, and
Speaker 2: he's just like a tall thin guy that kind of
Speaker 2: gets overpowered and gets run by and gets you know,
Speaker 2: turned around a little bit this second if they don't
Speaker 2: get the pass rush home. But I'll tell you one thing, Nick,
Speaker 2: I don't know if you saw this team can't play
Speaker 2: run defense.
Speaker 9: Yea, that's really nos dived. Yeah I'll talk about a
Speaker 9: but you go ahead.
Speaker 2: Yeah, see to me, this is where teams are averaging
Speaker 2: over five yards of carry again.
Speaker 3: Yeah, again, they.
Speaker 2: Do not they do not defend the run all that well.
Speaker 2: And you know a lot of It probably has to
Speaker 2: do with the guys wanting to get up field with
Speaker 2: Burns and then also then with Thibodeau and those guys
Speaker 2: wanting to get a field. You talk about the defensive
Speaker 2: tackling Lawrence Hell, he's a much better pass rusher. He's
Speaker 2: a great player, don't get me wrong, but man, you
Speaker 2: notice some more rush in the passer than you do
Speaker 2: play in the run. So this team has struggled Dallas.
Speaker 2: I could see Dallas kind of loading up and saying, Okay,
Speaker 2: we're gonna try and run the ball much like you know,
Speaker 2: give me that, give me that eighty to one hundred
Speaker 2: yards again, Let's let's give let's give You know, it's
Speaker 2: a short week. I know that, you know your runner
Speaker 2: might be a little you know, he hadn't had the
Speaker 2: full rest period. But man, I find a way to
Speaker 2: try and kind of run the ball on these guys
Speaker 2: until they stop it. Till they you know, they teams
Speaker 2: have teams have been successful doing it, and I don't
Speaker 2: think there's any reason to stop in this game.
Speaker 3: Yep, all, let's take our final break. We'll come back.

Speaker 3: Welcome back.
Speaker 5: It is the final segment of The Break Live from
Speaker 5: s WBC Mortgage Studios at the Star. Let's wrap this
Speaker 5: thing up, Cowboys versus Giants?
Speaker 3: Give me what do you think will be the.
Speaker 5: Starting offensive line for the Cowboys this week? With the
Speaker 5: injuries that they've suffered and the things that you kind
Speaker 5: of know what you're hearing, who do you think will
Speaker 5: be the starting five.
Speaker 7: I think it'll be left tackle Tyler Guidon, left guard
Speaker 7: Tyler Smith. I think he'll be ready to go. Center
Speaker 7: Cooper bebe right guard. I think it's gonna be TJ. Bass,
Speaker 7: and then right tackle Terrence Steele. The only one I'm
Speaker 7: not one humbers confident about is brock Hoffman could start
Speaker 7: at right guard. They've they've rotated those two guys in
Speaker 7: and out whenever, you know, one of them has had
Speaker 7: to come in. But Bass has more so been the
Speaker 7: first guy called upon, So I would I would lean
Speaker 7: towards Bass, but also factor.
Speaker 2: In off any any chance guys that you feel like
Speaker 2: that they might get a doga involved as a rotational player,
Speaker 2: just to kind of make sure that Geyiton doesn't play
Speaker 2: sixty five snaps either. I know that sounds crazy to say,
Speaker 2: but that it gives him kind of a little bit
Speaker 2: of a breath, that kind of catch his breath a
Speaker 2: little bit, you know, you know, a series or two.
Speaker 7: Even if that is not the plan, if these pre
Speaker 7: snap penalties continue to happen with Gid Yoga will finish
Speaker 7: the game. Yeah, it doesn't matter when it happens. If
Speaker 7: he has two this is just my mental clock. If
Speaker 7: he has two pre snap penalties, I'm looking at Idydoga
Speaker 7: to come in and.
Speaker 8: So okay, I know I was getting frustrated and like like, nah,
Speaker 8: there's Guynan again here.
Speaker 2: But what is your.
Speaker 8: Real assessment on his actual like play outside of those penalties.
Speaker 9: I thought he played well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the problem if he doesn't get the palties. And
Speaker 2: by the way, that holding call was b Yeah, it
Speaker 2: was a complete bs because the commanders Luke has had
Speaker 2: one very similar I think on the zach Ertz touchdown
Speaker 2: where I don't know who was going down to the ground,
Speaker 2: but he just kind of rode the same thing his hands,
Speaker 2: you know, rode into the ground and they didn't call that.
Speaker 2: I'm like, this is you're just you're targeting this kid.
Speaker 2: You know you're targeting this kid because they targeted because
Speaker 2: McCarthy said this about They tell him before the game
Speaker 2: that he's you're too deep. You're too deep, You're too deep.
Speaker 2: You need to get up on them, you know, and
Speaker 2: get up on the line. So I don't know, I mean,
Speaker 2: I can say other than the penalties, I think the
Speaker 2: kid was fine. Yeah, I really do.
Speaker 7: There are meetings between head coach and officials before games,
Speaker 7: and officials will kind of point out things that you
Speaker 7: know they're they're looking at, they're looking for because you know,
Speaker 7: they have bosses that that they they have to report
Speaker 7: to as well, and certain things are getting emphasized week
Speaker 7: after week.
Speaker 9: It changes week by week.
Speaker 7: But it's Tyler Guiden has been a frequent mention in
Speaker 7: those conversations throughout the pregame, throughout the throughout the season.
Speaker 5: Let's talk about Brandon. You mentioned Brandon Cooks and thinking
Speaker 5: that he could be have an impact this week. How
Speaker 5: much do you think that impact is limited by the
Speaker 5: fact that he hasn't really had a lot of time
Speaker 5: with Cooper Rush, And as we know when we're talking
Speaker 5: about wide receivers and quarterbacks, sometimes that chemistry can have
Speaker 5: as much of an impact as just a talented player.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think he's already going to be on a
Speaker 7: rep count to begin with, just just coming back and
Speaker 7: working himself back in. But as far as you know
Speaker 7: him getting back acclimated with Rush, that's gonna take some time.
Speaker 7: It's it's not an easy thing, and unfortunately they have
Speaker 7: eleven days after this game to to work through it.
Speaker 9: And also they have been.
Speaker 7: Practicing for the last two weeks together, so it's not
Speaker 7: like they're walking in fresh faced, but it'll take some time.
Speaker 2: Which receiver sits man is Florinoy? Is he Florinoy been?
Speaker 9: You would you would hope Mingo, But I don't think
Speaker 9: it's going to be Mingo.
Speaker 3: I think it's I think I don't think it's gonna
Speaker 3: be mean.
Speaker 2: I think I think they like Mingo. At the point
Speaker 2: of attack, yeah, yeah, like the blocker. Yeah, he's like
Speaker 2: a tackle wearing eighty one out there with the way
Speaker 2: he blocks. Yeah, you know he and you know by
Speaker 2: the way he that pass he'd caught along the sidelines,
Speaker 2: I mean he went low for extended, made the play
Speaker 2: and then Cooper Rush like short hopped one to him
Speaker 2: when he had.
Speaker 5: Has he had a good throw since he's been here, Like,
Speaker 5: I don't know that he's had a good throatick to him.
Speaker 2: I don't know if he's had a good throw since
Speaker 2: he's been an old miss Yeah right, yeah, I mean
Speaker 2: he he literally it looks like a soccer goalie out there, Yeah,
Speaker 2: dive in trying to catch the ball and stuff like that.
Speaker 2: So I I could see floor Noy.
Speaker 7: I could also see injuries at other positions, just allowing
Speaker 7: both of them to play, because if Carson moves off
Speaker 7: the active roster and they don't elevate anybody in his place,
Speaker 7: and I don't know that would be risky, but it's
Speaker 7: it's certainly a thought.
Speaker 5: Yeah, all right, talk to me about the tight ends.
Speaker 5: I want to talk a little bit about their their development.
Speaker 5: Let's let's start first with Schoonmaker. As you've seen him
Speaker 5: play without Ferguson in there, have you changed your opinion
Speaker 5: at all or what I was? I'll change that question.
Speaker 5: How well do you think he has developed at this point?
Speaker 5: Being a guy that was a second round pick that
Speaker 5: you expect something of, you'd expect to start seeing by
Speaker 5: this point in his career a little bit of acceleration
Speaker 5: in his development. What have you seen from him and
Speaker 5: where do you feel like he is at this point
Speaker 5: is developing.
Speaker 7: We mentioned a day or two ago about his receiving ability,
Speaker 7: just needing to dive into that a little bit bit
Speaker 7: more lean into it. Lean into his receiving next, because
Speaker 7: I feel like he has it. I go back to
Speaker 7: I was watching the Michigan TCU semi final game a
Speaker 7: couple of weeks ago, just because I'm a sicko and
Speaker 7: he was.
Speaker 9: He was catching passes, yeah, and like running routes.
Speaker 7: It was like, man, I have not seen this since
Speaker 7: he's been in Dallas, And you know, I'm starting to
Speaker 7: think back after the Washington game, like, Okay, they use
Speaker 7: him in the receiving game because they had to. What
Speaker 7: about if they just planned to, you know, if maybe
Speaker 7: he's not the point of attack blocker that they drafted. Yeah,
Speaker 7: and that's okay, you know, that's okay if he's not.
Speaker 7: If that second round pick they had the idea of
Speaker 7: him being able to contribute a little bit in the
Speaker 7: receiving game, but really just being able to help the
Speaker 7: run game and get after guys at the line of scres.
Speaker 7: Maybe he's not that, but I think he can still
Speaker 7: be a receiving guy at the end of the day.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think where you look at some of these guys,
Speaker 2: these young guys have got to play so much more,
Speaker 2: and like, I don't think he's at the level of
Speaker 2: where Golston. You know, when Golston, I mean, Golson's a
Speaker 2: veteran guy, but Golston's played so much you kind of
Speaker 2: have a different opinion of him. Scoonmaker has played enough
Speaker 2: now that where you're like, Okay, he's not a liability
Speaker 2: out there. You know, we talked about I think the blocking.
Speaker 2: I'm hopeful because I saw him block at Michigan and
Speaker 2: I'm like, this guy could block. He just he doesn't
Speaker 2: do it all the time here and then bad body
Speaker 2: position gets called for a hold. You know, we saw
Speaker 2: what happened on the field goal thing. You know, I
Speaker 2: mean there are things that kind of haunt him, but
Speaker 2: I think overall for him, the amount of reps he's got.
Speaker 2: He I said again, not a liability as a player. Actually,
Speaker 2: when they throw him the football, he just looks like
Speaker 2: he's fighting it. Like there were times where he was
Speaker 2: running seam routes. Remember the Dak throws the ball right
Speaker 2: in his top of his hand. He's, you know, got
Speaker 2: to go high point of ball and it goes bounding
Speaker 2: off his hands. Maybe today Schoonmaker catches that ball maybe
Speaker 2: a little bit more confidence. But I always talking about
Speaker 2: Golston and his playing has gotten better because he's played more.
Speaker 2: I think Schoonmaker's in that same same kind of area.
Speaker 8: Where he's slowly getting better, and I mean you would
Speaker 8: like for him to be a lot more ahead but
Speaker 8: I think with him starting off his career in the
Speaker 8: NFL and like the injuries that have prevented him time
Speaker 8: away from playing and all of that. But man, this
Speaker 8: is this is weird. But when I look at him,
Speaker 8: I just I feel like I need to stretch, Like
Speaker 8: you know when someone just looks tense and you just
Speaker 8: he needs like a deep stretch, flexibility of it.
Speaker 7: And like that's how I feel about guiding. That's how
Speaker 7: I feel about that. He just he just needs a
Speaker 7: yoga class, just all.
Speaker 9: Right, Yeah, bring it.
Speaker 8: Relaxed, like good stretching massage. They're painful, but then afterwards
Speaker 8: you feel like you can do any He needs one
Speaker 8: of us.
Speaker 7: With Schoonmaker, he's lost trust in the offense and that's
Speaker 7: apparent by his snap count up until Jake Ferguson got hurt. Yeah,
Speaker 7: you look at these holding penalties. He's had three in
Speaker 7: the last four games. Only one of them have been accepted.
Speaker 7: But it's it's still it's it's it's there, and it's
Speaker 7: it's not helping this offense. At the end of the day,
Speaker 7: he's got to be able to pull that back because
Speaker 7: if he can't be trusted on those rundowns, then he's
Speaker 7: not gonna.
Speaker 9: Be trusted overall. Next training camp is going to be
Speaker 9: a very big training The problems.
Speaker 2: The problem with Schoonmaker is that was a pretty good
Speaker 2: tight end draft and they are all these like second
Speaker 2: third round kind of tight ends that seemed to be
Speaker 2: playing in a every week. You watch the highlights, you
Speaker 2: watch a game and there's somebody making a making a play.
Speaker 2: That's a tight end. That's like, God, they took Schoonmaker
Speaker 2: before that guy, you know, And and he came out
Speaker 2: of a really good tight end class. And if you
Speaker 2: look at like Sam Laporta in that whole you know
Speaker 2: he he was everybody seems like that they're on track
Speaker 2: of being Pro Bowl players, and you're guys fighting just
Speaker 2: to make sure he's active every week.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 2: That's that's kind of a problem.
Speaker 3: All right, let's get some picks. What do you guys
Speaker 3: think is gonna happen tomorrow? Cowboys versus Giants?
Speaker 7: Say this, desperation is a funny thing, and the Giants
Speaker 7: are desperate right now, But I'm gonna take the Cowboys
Speaker 7: in a close one.
Speaker 9: Aspiration is a funny thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I buy the desperation theory. I really really do.
Speaker 2: And I really worry about if Drew Locke plays in
Speaker 2: this game tomorrow. I did with with Cutlets. I think,
Speaker 2: you know, they have a better chance of winning the game.
Speaker 2: But I'm gonna pick Dallas. I'm gonna pick Dllas And
Speaker 2: this one is funny. Twenty six to sixteen, Okay, I.
Speaker 8: Mean, who's not to say the Cowboys are desperate too,
Speaker 8: you know, like at home. They haven't won a single
Speaker 8: game at home, so that's a lot of desperation there.
Speaker 8: In a big game like Thanksgiving, I have the Cowboys.
Speaker 8: I think usually when they match up against the Giants,
Speaker 8: they tend to play better, Like, they tend to play
Speaker 8: a good game. It's always big for the tight ends.
Speaker 8: They seem to just be successful. And I think it'll
Speaker 8: be a good matchup, hopefully something back and forth making fun.
Speaker 8: But I picked the Cowboys, uh twenty four seventeen, right, I.
Speaker 3: Think it's gonna be a I think.
Speaker 2: Picked the Giants.
Speaker 3: Actually think it's gonna be a barnburner. I think it's
Speaker 3: gonna be a crazy game. I think it's good.
Speaker 5: It's gonna start off slow. I think it's gonna be
Speaker 5: very similar last week. Start off slow, and then it's
Speaker 5: gonna get going and we're gonna have some fireworks. We
Speaker 5: would have some fun. I think the Cowboys win because
Speaker 5: I think that the Cowboys a better team. And right now,
Speaker 5: the way I look at it is, I think this
Speaker 5: Cowboys defensive unit is the reason why they got a
Speaker 5: shot it in the games that they'll play for the
Speaker 5: rest of the season. If the defense shows up, they're
Speaker 5: gonna win this game.
Speaker 3: And and so I think at the end of the day,
Speaker 3: it's a it's a slow starter, but by the second half.
Speaker 5: I think it gets going. I think it's a fun game.
Speaker 5: At the end of the day, I think Cowboys win
Speaker 5: twenty seven to.
Speaker 8: Who's gonna be holding the turkey leg During their interview
Speaker 8: post Jordan Lewis Jordan Lewis.
Speaker 2: Cooper Rush.
Speaker 3: Cooper Rush will be holding him and Turpin the two
Speaker 3: of them will be.
Speaker 2: Holding lambs Thereke scoon maker.
