Emerson I start and then when we're finished, the 0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:33.600 players come in and sign autograph? 0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:34.799 And where should people show up? 0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:38.240 At the Omni at the Omni Hotel? Right next door? 0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:40.440 Okay? Right here at the Star in Frisco. 0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:41.919 Second floor. There's not a big sign. 0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:46.160 What will be a beautiful ninety eight degree day the 0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:48.320 Tostitos Championship plaza. 0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:49.840 Here I was reading something. 0:02:50.000 --> 0:02:50.840 What was it was? 0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:56.880 In the the Times? Picky you on New Orleans and 0:02:56.919 --> 0:02:58.920 they had their breakdown of the game, and then it 0:02:59.000 --> 0:03:02.079 got to the weather. I said, yeah, there's no weather, 0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:06.680 but I think they wanted to point out that purpose. 0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:10.760 It was ninety eight degrees outside. Uh huh, seventy two 0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:12.720 yeap at kickoff. 0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:16.160 And by the way, the Cowboys will be looking for 0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:23.160 their seventeenth straight regular season home win. That's pretty amazing. 0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:27.359 That and the fact that they're over the winning streak. 0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:33.280 The combined score differential or maybe it was just last 0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:35.320 year seventeen and a half point. 0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:37.320 I was going to say it's a lot too a little. 0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:39.520 Yeah, yeah, seventeen and a half point. 0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:45.320 So whatever they are doing is working on these home games, yes, 0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:48.480 and going on two years. The last time the Cowboys 0:03:48.560 --> 0:03:53.480 lost a home regular season game was against Tampa Bay 0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:55.280 and the season opener two years ago. 0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:59.400 Right right, And maybe maybe sleeping in their own beds 0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:04.040 is a a difference maker because they started that, I 0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:06.920 want to say last year. Maybe because they would always 0:04:07.000 --> 0:04:09.840 rather players come to the hotel, spend the night and 0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:13.119 then to go to the game. They started letting them 0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:15.440 sleep in their beds and then just show up in 0:04:15.480 --> 0:04:16.320 the morning. 0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:21.280 So they what their schedule is the night before a 0:04:21.320 --> 0:04:24.520 home game is they'll meet here yep, and then take 0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:24.960 me through it. 0:04:25.200 --> 0:04:28.839 And I believe they were there eligible to have dinner, 0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:32.360 and then they have their meetings and they usually finish 0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:35.320 the meetings around eight thirty nine o'clock. So you got 0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:39.120 a choice of sleeping in the hotel or going home. 0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:43.040 You do have a choice. Ken Y can sleep at 0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:44.719 the team hotel. I would imagine guys. 0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:49.680 Would kids probably sleep That's exactly right, Yeah, depending their 0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:50.960 age plus. 0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:53.000 Plus the other thing is they it just makes it 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:56.720 easier too. They do have team buses that go from here, 0:04:56.839 --> 0:05:00.560 or you can drive drive vehicle your car. 0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:02.800 When you're done and you don't have to come all 0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:05.480 the way back here. You can just head home. Or 0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:08.680 if somebody came there to watch the game with you, 0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:11.800 you can leave with them, leave with them. So yeah, 0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:14.240 so that's kind of what their schedule is. But they 0:05:14.279 --> 0:05:18.680 will have a practice tomorrow. Usually it's around the new hour. 0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:20.920 I just thought of a great marketing idea to make 0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:21.839 some money here. 0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:24.280 For us for. 0:05:25.839 --> 0:05:29.679 Rides home for the players. How much would a fan 0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:34.679 pay to give Micah Parsons a ride home after a game? 0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:37.400 How much would they have to do? 0:05:37.640 --> 0:05:41.880 It's like a Cowboys Uber. Okay, it's a Cowboys uber 0:05:42.600 --> 0:05:47.400 marketing plan, okay, where you can pay what X amount 0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:50.560 of money and give up Cowboys player a ride home 0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:51.280 after the game. 0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:55.680 If you lose, can you back out? 0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:58.840 It's just just a thought, just a thought out there, okay, 0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:01.480 all right, get us up to speed on what we 0:06:01.560 --> 0:06:04.200 need to know. And by the way, how about we 0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:08.200 open up the phone lines. Since we don't have Everson, right, 0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:13.800 how about we get the opinions of some fans out 0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:15.719 there on this Friday before the home. 0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:19.839 Get a third voice here? That's right, yeah, absolutely. 0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:22.279 So do you remember the phone number eight eight eight. 0:06:22.279 --> 0:06:25.440 Eight five five two two. 0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:30.240 No, no, hold on, you finished it for me eight 0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:35.760 eight eight eight five five two two two nine seven. 0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:37.440 I thought it was two six ninety seven. 0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:39.479 So I'm gonna do it again. Eight eight eight eight 0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:40.960 five five two two nine seven. 0:06:41.000 --> 0:06:43.240 All right, he spells out talk Cowboys. 0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:48.080 It spells out Talk Cowboys, ELK Supreme. If we want 0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:50.880 a third voice, we could just have Producer Supreme join. 0:06:50.920 --> 0:06:51.400 Join us in. 0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:53.720 Okay, in there, Mickey's probably like he's good. 0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:58.719 So Mickey, your choice fans or Producer Supreme? What do 0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:00.800 you think both? 0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:01.600 Oh? Both? 0:07:01.600 --> 0:07:02.200 How about that. 0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:05.760 Wow, you want to make you feel bad, all right, 0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:09.200 So bring us up to speed on what's going on 0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:11.520 injury wise that he get into this one. 0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:16.440 Well, the good news is that Marshawn Neelan, who did 0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:21.200 not practice with a calf injury on Wednesday, practiced on 0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:26.760 a limited basis on Thursday, and from what I can tell, 0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:31.000 it looks like, well it's a walk through today, so 0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:35.400 it's only an estimation, but I got a feeling his 0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:39.720 limited basis yesterday. He started off with a helmet and 0:07:39.760 --> 0:07:43.440 shoulder pads on, so that bodes well for him being 0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:50.560 ready to go. Jake Ferguson still has not practiced. He 0:07:50.640 --> 0:07:55.640 has rehabbed the last couple days. I would imagine he 0:07:55.760 --> 0:08:01.680 rehabs again today and then they'll determine his game status 0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:07.880 by whatever he is or isn't doing on Saturday. But 0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:14.400 it looks like, just judging from early yesterday that you 0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:19.040 know they're preparing for schoon Maker to be the starter, 0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:27.560 preparing for Brevin Spain forward for for forward forward. 0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:31.720 Or otherwise. Notice Brevin span Ford. 0:08:32.360 --> 0:08:34.160 I wanted to get the span right right. 0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:36.040 No you didn't, you got it Spain. 0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:43.960 I was so concentrating on that forwards forward as the 0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:46.720 second tight end, and I think they're just going to 0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:50.040 I mean, I don't know what elevations they're going to 0:08:50.120 --> 0:08:53.440 have to make at other spots, but just use the 0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:57.040 full back a little bit more on lip key on 0:08:57.280 --> 0:09:02.280 lipkey in different areas, you know, in blocking assignments and 0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:06.240 things like that. So we'll see how that one turns out. 0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:11.640 John Stevens really still hasn't done anything, so we'll see 0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:17.760 where that one goes if he's ready. The Saints very interesting. 0:09:19.280 --> 0:09:23.880 They're starting rookie left tackle Fuaga did not practice yet. 0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:26.520 He went from limited to not practicing. 0:09:26.720 --> 0:09:27.280 I saw that. 0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:36.720 And also their starting cornerback Marshawn Lattimore, it's got a 0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:40.640 hip hamstring and he hasn't practiced the past two days now. 0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:42.520 I don't know if they're just trying to get him 0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:47.040 to the game or not, but that sounds pretty significant. Also, 0:09:47.400 --> 0:09:53.560 their starting defensive tackle Kaylin Saunders has a calf injury 0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:56.560 and he has not practiced the past two days. So 0:09:56.600 --> 0:10:00.600 they got a couple of things that they're definitely monitoring. 0:10:00.720 --> 0:10:04.199 They had a couple guys that were did not practice, 0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:08.439 but I think it was more well, actually the guy 0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:12.880 that moved up from did not practice to limited was 0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:18.960 Tyron Matthew Foster Moreau, their tight end had a concussion. 0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:23.560 He went from limited to full. So they've got a 0:10:23.559 --> 0:10:25.880 couple of things that they've got a monitor two going 0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:26.560 into this game. 0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:30.880 And Mike McCarthy as a regular appearance on the fan 0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:35.840 on Friday mornings early and he said about Jake ferguson 0:10:35.880 --> 0:10:39.760 this morning, he's doing well. He did a little more yesterday. 0:10:40.040 --> 0:10:42.959 We'll see how he feels this morning and set a plan. 0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:44.160 He's getting close. 0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:51.040 Well close will be determined by tomorrow because today's just 0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:58.000 kind of a walkthrough. So how close I think will 0:10:58.040 --> 0:11:03.400 be determined. Will probably get a better idea of his 0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:08.120 status for sure, because I bet they even if he's 0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:10.439 not going to play, I don't know if they would 0:11:10.440 --> 0:11:14.640 put him as out or doubtful to leave a little 0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:15.920 bit of leeway in there. 0:11:16.040 --> 0:11:19.320 And what you're referring to is the Friday injury report exactly. 0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:23.280 The Friday Injury report is where they for the first 0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:27.920 time during the week, give a game status and typically 0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:31.120 what happens on that if you are listed as doubtful, 0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:34.680 you probably aren't going to play, right But if you 0:11:34.720 --> 0:11:38.760 are listed as questionable, you probably will play unless there's 0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:41.200 a setback in the forty eight hours before the game. 0:11:41.280 --> 0:11:43.600 And if you leave it questionable, at least they don't 0:11:43.600 --> 0:11:46.720 come checking on you like a bunch of liars. 0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:49.720 Which, by the way, I don't know whatever happened with 0:11:49.760 --> 0:11:53.080 the forty nine ers on Christian McCaffrey, because he was 0:11:53.120 --> 0:11:59.000 not listed on their injury report and like on Friday, 0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:02.360 and he wound up not playing in the game on 0:12:02.400 --> 0:12:06.880 Monday night, and so there was eyebrows raised about that. 0:12:07.400 --> 0:12:10.360 Oh, that's right, because the running back said he found out. 0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:12.960 On yeah, and after the game, the running back said 0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:15.120 he found out on Friday that he's likely going to 0:12:15.160 --> 0:12:18.200 go right, and and maybe McCaffrey. 0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:20.600 Was probably it said, I never said he was. 0:12:22.679 --> 0:12:26.440 McCaffrey was probably on the injury report, but wasn't listed 0:12:26.600 --> 0:12:30.600 as questionable or doubtful, didn't have a game status that's 0:12:30.720 --> 0:12:34.560 associated with it. And usually, and because you can't, several 0:12:34.559 --> 0:12:36.200 of the players on there will not have a game 0:12:36.280 --> 0:12:38.559 status listed, and that means they're going, they're good to go, 0:12:39.200 --> 0:12:41.280 and if there's nothing next to them. 0:12:41.360 --> 0:12:44.960 And by the way, when I mentioned morrow, they're tight 0:12:45.080 --> 0:12:47.839 end limited with a concussion. 0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:51.240 Yep, that's a pretty bad bless it did with to 0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:57.400 a tongue of aloa and uh, thoughts and prayers are 0:12:57.400 --> 0:12:59.720 with with them with him as. 0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:01.640 Now. 0:13:01.679 --> 0:13:05.760 When I was listening to someone close to the situation, 0:13:05.880 --> 0:13:07.119 I think that's four. 0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:10.240 Concussions. 0:13:10.360 --> 0:13:14.760 Yeah, that documented anyway as far as concussions go. And 0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:17.840 it's amazing. Really he got through all of last season 0:13:18.080 --> 0:13:21.120 without one. It was the twenty twenty two season where 0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:27.040 he had the troubles and so and now this happens 0:13:27.240 --> 0:13:29.520 and in the second game of the year, and so 0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:33.320 we'll see what happens on that comes on the heels 0:13:33.360 --> 0:13:35.760 of him signing a four year, two hundred twelve million 0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:37.320 dollar contract in the off season. 0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:40.959 And you when a guy goes down like that and 0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:43.000 you see that hand kind. 0:13:42.840 --> 0:13:46.240 Of come up like that, it's called posturing. Now, I 0:13:46.280 --> 0:13:51.360 did hear a physician said that that just that is 0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:55.000 not an indication of the severity necessarily. 0:13:56.920 --> 0:13:59.280 So that's what happened to me, he said time. 0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:02.160 He said, that's the good news is just because your 0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:07.240 hand acts like that in the immediate aftermath, does it 0:14:07.280 --> 0:14:12.240 isn't indication that it's a more severe concussion. At least 0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:12.920 that's what he said. 0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:15.640 I don't remember seeing that on other people when they've 0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:19.640 suffered concussions. Well, but that's second time for him. Yeah, 0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:23.280 so yeah, boy, And they did not know. 0:14:23.520 --> 0:14:27.840 And prior to that, the Dolphins were struggling, and so, 0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:32.560 I mean the Bills were. In fact, two had thrown 0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:35.720 three interceptions in that game. One was returned for a 0:14:35.760 --> 0:14:38.720 touchdown by a guy at South Oak Cliff High School, 0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:44.560 Aaron Dallas JaMarcus Ingram. And the Bills, you know, even 0:14:44.600 --> 0:14:49.040 though they've had to you know, they lost Stefan Diggs 0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:51.840 and others off their team, they've they seem ready to 0:14:51.840 --> 0:14:53.120 go at the beginning of the season. 0:14:53.240 --> 0:14:53.400 Yep. 0:14:53.520 --> 0:14:57.400 And they continue a mastery of Miami too. What if 0:14:57.400 --> 0:15:00.640 they've won like eleven out of twelve times or something 0:15:00.680 --> 0:15:04.760 like that against them. So so anyway, we got a 0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:07.240 lot to get to and uh, we'll open up the 0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:09.520 phone lines for you eight eight eight eight five five 0:15:09.600 --> 0:15:12.120 two two nine seven as we get you ready for 0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:15.680 the Cowboys and the Dolphins here on mix shots in 0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:16.240 just a moment. 0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:21.040 Hey, Cowboy fans, I'm Dak Prescott, quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys. 0:15:21.120 --> 0:15:22.880 But lately I've been learning a new game. 0:15:23.000 --> 0:15:24.360 Crypto sound confusing. 0:15:24.560 --> 0:15:27.080 Don't worry.

I finally got in and I wanted 0:18:55.400 --> 0:18:57.520 just to say and I know he's not out there. 0:18:57.560 --> 0:19:00.880 Maybe he's listening, but every sudden. I got to meet 0:19:00.960 --> 0:19:03.960 him last year at the tailgate party against the Giants, 0:19:04.080 --> 0:19:07.960 so and him and Haley, and I was so excitic 0:19:07.960 --> 0:19:11.160 because I've been a coupley with man for sixty years. Okay, 0:19:11.359 --> 0:19:14.960 so it was awesome, best day of my life, taught me. 0:19:15.480 --> 0:19:17.480 But anyway, I just really wanted to call in and 0:19:17.520 --> 0:19:19.760 say thank you guys for all the nostalgia that you 0:19:19.840 --> 0:19:23.360 guys compared to I don't watch all the other podcasts 0:19:23.760 --> 0:19:27.320 and so therefore I just wonder, I really appreciate all 0:19:27.320 --> 0:19:31.000 the Mickey or your your nostalgic memories and all that. 0:19:31.480 --> 0:19:36.320 I enjoyed that so much. So Cynthia, thank you very much, 0:19:37.640 --> 0:19:39.760 and say hi to Nate for me because I got 0:19:39.800 --> 0:19:42.520 to meet Nate and the show his wife. Also when 0:19:42.520 --> 0:19:46.119 I met Everson and Charles Haley. So I haven't been 0:19:46.119 --> 0:19:49.080 able to go get a hold of Nate, but please 0:19:49.080 --> 0:19:52.919 tell him, Cynthia from Laredo said him, We'll do. 0:19:53.280 --> 0:19:54.080 Thanks for calling. 0:19:55.040 --> 0:20:00.720 Thank you guys, all right, Cethia from Laredo in Converse, Texas, 0:20:01.000 --> 0:20:02.320 San Antonio, Tonio. 0:20:02.800 --> 0:20:03.359 Very nice. 0:20:03.480 --> 0:20:05.800 That's our target audience right there. She's been following the 0:20:05.840 --> 0:20:11.440 team for sixty years. That means nearly from day one. 0:20:12.240 --> 0:20:14.160 Out there, you might remember Billy Houghton. 0:20:14.600 --> 0:20:16.400 Oh fine, thank you. 0:20:18.640 --> 0:20:20.760 For those of you who weren't here earlier in the week. 0:20:20.800 --> 0:20:25.000 Billy Houghton was a Cowboy from nineteen sixty to sixty 0:20:25.160 --> 0:20:29.720 three and is a Hall of Fame Senior candidate. 0:20:29.760 --> 0:20:33.920 This year, eighty three thirteen other. 0:20:33.880 --> 0:20:38.760 Former Cowboys, and Mickey could not place Billy Houghton in 0:20:38.840 --> 0:20:42.480 Cowboys history. I bet reckoned it could. 0:20:42.680 --> 0:20:45.359 I recognized the name, but I had no idea what 0:20:45.440 --> 0:20:45.800 he did. 0:20:46.400 --> 0:20:50.080 Okay, when you look at here two days out less 0:20:50.119 --> 0:20:53.200 than we're forty eight right under forty eight hours away 0:20:53.440 --> 0:20:58.080 from kickoff. Now, what is it about this matchup that 0:20:58.160 --> 0:20:59.200 intrigues you the most? 0:21:00.160 --> 0:21:06.920 To determine where the Cowboys are with their run defense? 0:21:07.400 --> 0:21:10.159 And I know I've probably brought it up all week, 0:21:10.320 --> 0:21:13.960 but I want I think this will be a good 0:21:14.000 --> 0:21:18.159 test to tell. As matter of fact, Jerry Jones this 0:21:18.280 --> 0:21:23.320 morning said they are committed to run to the run 0:21:23.359 --> 0:21:27.680 game and will have a real good test. So one 0:21:27.720 --> 0:21:31.320 of the priorities when the Cowboys went to training camp 0:21:32.000 --> 0:21:35.480 was to fix their run defense. I think they did 0:21:35.480 --> 0:21:39.560 a pretty good job. In the opener against Cleveland. They 0:21:39.560 --> 0:21:43.080 did rush for ninety three yards, but thirty nine of 0:21:43.119 --> 0:21:47.240 those were Deshaun Watson scrambling out of the pocket, so 0:21:47.320 --> 0:21:52.520 if you take those away from handoffs, they gained fifty 0:21:52.560 --> 0:21:56.880 four yards rushing. So we're going to see now because 0:21:56.960 --> 0:22:00.719 this team, the Saints want to run the foot and 0:22:00.760 --> 0:22:03.159 they ran for one hundred and eighty yards in the 0:22:03.200 --> 0:22:13.760 opener against Carolina, and Alvin Kamar led the way with 0:22:14.000 --> 0:22:15.720 I believe it was eighty three yards. 0:22:15.520 --> 0:22:18.760 Eight fifteen carries, but that's over five and a half 0:22:18.840 --> 0:22:19.840 yards of carries. 0:22:19.560 --> 0:22:24.800 But the big one ended up being five carries for 0:22:24.920 --> 0:22:31.040 thirty five yards for Taysom Hill, And so when you 0:22:31.080 --> 0:22:34.879 add that in there, it's like, Okay, there's another threat. 0:22:34.960 --> 0:22:36.919 And they've got him listed as a tight end, but 0:22:37.000 --> 0:22:39.919 obviously they're handing him the ball still. 0:22:40.000 --> 0:22:42.600 So lining him up at tillback this year. 0:22:42.440 --> 0:22:47.000 When you're averaging almost five yards of carry as a team, 0:22:47.160 --> 0:22:49.680 this will be a test for the Cowboys, I think 0:22:49.760 --> 0:22:53.840 more so than Cleveland because they want to run the ball. 0:22:55.040 --> 0:22:58.360 So that's what sticks out to me right now. And 0:22:58.440 --> 0:23:00.800 I was reading some of the stuff in the New 0:23:00.880 --> 0:23:05.360 Orleans paper, and they were talking about the Saints' ability 0:23:05.400 --> 0:23:08.440 to run the ball was huge against Carolina, but they 0:23:08.520 --> 0:23:12.520 also the caveat was but it was Carolina, and this 0:23:12.560 --> 0:23:14.720 will be a big test for where they are with 0:23:14.800 --> 0:23:15.760 their run game. 0:23:16.560 --> 0:23:18.960 And where are the Cowboys with their run defense. 0:23:19.000 --> 0:23:23.479 Do you think, well, I think it was encouraging. I 0:23:23.520 --> 0:23:30.320 think the fact that Zimmer's scheme, you know, mandates that 0:23:30.600 --> 0:23:36.560
