Speaker 1: I am Derek Eagleton, and we're live from the s

10
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: WBC Mortgage Studios at the start talking some Cowboys football,

11
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: getting ready for Cowboys versus Falcons. Let's jump right in

12
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 1: and get this thing rolling with some Zeke talk. I

13
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,519
Speaker 1: guess is this probably the last time we're gonna have

14
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 1: Zeke Talk? No four weeks? No, well for four weeks.

15
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 1: I mean it kind of no, because they'll file some

16
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: motion or something something that we'll have to talk about.

17
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 1: I don't know, no, no, no, Well, yeah, we had

18
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: a special edition of Talking Cowboys Break yesterday. Nick and

19
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 1: I were on it, so we had a chance to

20
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: talk a little bit about what was coming out with

21
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 1: the Zeke News. But since then, I think there's been

22
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: some more clarity that's come to I know, we talked

23
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 1: a little bit about what the results of the of

24
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: the denied motion for the injunction, but it sounds like

25
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: there's going to be an expedited process and that this

26
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: case will be heard a lot sooner than I think

27
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 1: any of us probably expected. Dy've catch us up on that.

28
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: Do you know kind of the dates here that we're

29
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 1: talking about and what happens after that? December the first,

30
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 1: Although I was under the impression, isn't that just another repeal?

31
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: Like that's not the actual case? Still, is it? Or

32
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: is it not? I was nobody cares. I mean honestly,

33
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: like all that stuff, nobody cares. When's he gonna play? Right, Okay,

34
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: so tell me when's he gonna play? Not until December?

35
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: Well we don't. He's not gonna have a hearing in

36
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: court until December first, which and that's you're saying that's

37
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: not the case. I don't think so. But I was

38
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 1: on I was shooting a TV show when all this

39
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: stuff happened yesterday, So I'm still playing catchup. I feel

40
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 1: like a little bit. But he's got a hearing on

41
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: December first, they're gonna consider the merits of this again,

42
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: and it's theoretically possible that he could have the suspension overturned,

43
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 1: but by that point there would only be two games

44
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: left on it. As far as I understand it, there's

45
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 1: nothing he can do between now and the first Like

46
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: he's going to miss four games at least. What happens

47
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:35,959
Speaker 1: if he just shows up, puts on a uniform and

48
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: runs on the field, he in the NFL would probably

49
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: be drastically I mean, he and the Cowboys would probably

50
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: be drastically fined or maybe lose draft picks. I don't know,

51
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: but I don't think that. I don't think that would work. No,

52
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: I don't think that's a good idea. So he's and

53
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,839
Speaker 1: then when he does have this hearing, everything I've heard

54
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: is that it's like a just an infinitesimal percent chance

55
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: that he wins anyway. So it's looking like he's going

56
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: to serve the six games, which you know, it is

57
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 1: what it is, which and I've been saying it all year,

58
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: I still believe it. You got to fight it as

59
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 1: hard as you possibly can. If you think you didn't

60
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: do anything wrong, this is your reputation and your name

61
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 1: and all that stuff, YadA YadA YadA. That said, now

62
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,679
Speaker 1: that it has come down and you have lost, I mean,

63
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: the thought of continuing this and neither potentially missing playoff

64
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: games or stretching part of this suspension into twenty eighteen

65
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: doesn't make any sense to me at this point. It

66
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: doesn't really matter. It doesn't sound like because at the

67
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: at the very least, he is going to miss four games,

68
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: which which is going to be at Atlanta then at

69
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: home against Philly and the Chargers and watched it. That's

70
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: going to happen. I get, and I guess. Basically, my

71
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: point is you already lost in the sense that if

72
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: you can keep from serving it at all, go for it.

73
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: But you lost, you're going to serve the vast majority

74
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: of this suspension. Honestly, you might as well just let

75
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: it play out and not have it hangover yourself or

76
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: this team anymore than it already has. You lose. I mean, basically,

77
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: that's yeah. So I don't know if he's gonna do that.

78
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: I'm just saying at this point, you couldn't keep it

79
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: from happening, so why drag this into being a thing

80
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: that goes on any longer than it has to. You know, Nick,

81
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 1: talk to me about the roster spot. What happens with

82
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 1: that roster spot at this point, now that he's officially suspended,

83
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: he will be suspended for four games at the very least.

84
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,599
Speaker 1: What happens with this roster spot right now? They're gonna

85
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: have to sign somebody doesn't have to be from the

86
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: practice squad, but it probably should be since it's somebody

87
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 1: that's been around. Also, something about that rule that with

88
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 1: regards to the practice if you go into a week

89
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: and this has been changed over the last year, I believe,

90
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 1: but if you go into a week and with fifty

91
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: two on the go into a game with fifty two

92
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: on your roster, and you've got, of course a full

93
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: practice squad, then if you do that, then then you

94
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 1: have to release not only three players from your practice squad,

95
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,919
Speaker 1: but they have to be their longest tenured players on

96
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: your practice squad. So it basically just don't do that.

97
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: It forces seems to say, if you're gonna have a

98
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: practice squad and you got a spot on your rosters

99
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 1: as you could save cat money that way all day

100
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: long and just say all right, well you're going to

101
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: be inactive anyway. So instead of bringing up a you know,

102
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: Marquez White or whoever, Kellen Moore, they have to leave

103
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 1: him off the team for three weeks, two weeks yeah, yeah,

104
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 1: So so they're definitely gonna bring somebody up, and they

105
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: will definitely put somebody onto. Yeah, may would be this

106
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 1: defensive tackle that they brought up. Volano. Seems like it

107
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: makes sense. He could probably play knows for you if

108
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: you needed him too. But I would imagine though it's

109
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: probably going to be a guy inactive. I would think

110
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 1: if they brought us, if they brought up Volano, they

111
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: could make Lewis Neil in active because Volano is more

112
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 1: of a one technique. Yeah, it kind of depends. I

113
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: mean that's what they need. He's been here for all

114
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 1: of three days though, So Marks White, you need a dB.

115
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 1: I mean I don't know. I'm just you know, if

116
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: it's you, don't you might not need anybody right now?

117
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: What about right? So the thing that's Brian Brown, I mean,

118
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: if you doesn't play, I would argue that you have

119
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: a receiver and no one. Yeah. The thing I think

120
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: of is Tyrn is dealing with injuries, and Chaz Green

121
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: has an injury history of his own. So I mean,

122
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 1: you could bring up Kadeem Edwards if you wanted to,

123
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 1: but it doesn't seem like there's a drastic need anywhere

124
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: to where you're like, yep, that's what they're gonna do,

125
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 1: Like it's I don't know, it's six and one half

126
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 1: a dozen of the other. Well, we are certainly, by

127
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 1: the end of this show going to get some predictions

128
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: from you guys. I know we've talked about this throughout

129
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: the week in what your your comfort level was, but

130
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: for this particular game, by the end of this show

131
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: would definitely do our predictions and we'll see what you

132
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 1: guys think about your about whether your thoughts on whether

133
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: the Cowboys can win this weekend or will win this weekend.

134
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: I should say changes now that Ezekiel Elott will not

135
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: be playing for sure this weekend and for the foreseeable future.

136
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 1: All Right, so let's talk Let's move on. Le's talk

137
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: a little bit about injuries. Yesterday, there were two notable

138
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: names that did not practice, Dez Bryant Tyron Smith. What

139
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: do we know about those two at this pointing it

140
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: in their possibilities of being able to play this weekend? Well,

141
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: Dez talked in the locker room yesterday and basically said,

142
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: if it's up to him, he's gonna play. It's not

143
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: up to him though, so that's something worth keeping in mind.

144
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: But he was out there warming up. He didn't do anything.

145
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: He did not do anything practice related. He left the

146
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 1: field after about six minutes. I think, um, but I

147
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: I just kind of I have this feeling like he's

148
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: gonna gear up and do his best to get through

149
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: this and probably play. I don't have a good read

150
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: on Tyron, but if I had to guess, I don't

151
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: think he's gonna play without Tyren Smith. Amber, are you

152
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: even more concerned without Zeke and now Tyron Smith? And

153
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: people have been attacking me like I'm I don't know.

154
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: How can you not be worried? People are attacking you

155
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: for thinking it's bad to not Tyrant and it makes

156
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: it makes absolute only no sense. I mean, how is

157
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: that dumb? How can you not be concerned with the

158
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: team losing those two guys at the same time? I

159
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: am one, and that changes my whole perspective of how

160
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: this game is gonna turn out. I know we're gonna

161
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: get into that later on, but I was feeling pretty

162
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: confident with the Cowboys beating the Falcons, But now I

163
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,119
Speaker 1: don't really feel as confident. Ironically, you got four guys

164
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: I think on this team that you could make an

165
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 1: argument that are your most valuable players, and presumably you

166
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 1: know one's gonna be gone, Presumably two could be gone,

167
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: and there's a possibility three. Well, if you want to

168
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 1: put Dez in that category, De's probably fifth in my opinion,

169
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 1: Who are you talking about, Sean Lee, Dak Prescott? If

170
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: you're talking about most valuable players. We talked about the

171
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: earlier this week, and I think we all agreed that

172
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,839
Speaker 1: those were kind of your most valuable players, right, I

173
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 1: think you're talking d Prescot, hurt, you know what I'm saying. Overall,

174
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,199
Speaker 1: looking at your team, you got Dak Prescott, you got

175
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: Sean Lee, Tyren Smith, and ezeicularly are probably the four

176
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: guys in no particular order, that you would say are

177
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: the most necessary players on this team. And right now

178
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: you know one for certain will be out this week.

179
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: You think a second when Tyron Smith will be out,

180
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: and if you want to extend that out to the

181
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: fifth player, maybe Dez is your fifth player. Possibly he

182
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: would be out this game. It's a lot of very

183
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: important players that will be mad. I look at it

184
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: from just straight talent, you' just your most talented player

185
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 1: is out, I think, And then you know, Tyron Smith

186
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: is probably your next best and he's probably gonna be out.

187
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: And then from it's just this talent standpoint, I think

188
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: des Bryant's right there and he could be out. So

189
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: I have a question for you guys. I got people

190
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: on Twitter some kind of trying to make the argument, Oh, well,

191
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 1: you have Chas Green and he's not a bad player.

192
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,439
Speaker 1: The only issue he has is, you know, injury wise

193
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 1: and staying healthy. Are you guys feeling confident enough with

194
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: Chas Green in case Tyron does not play, Do you

195
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,359
Speaker 1: guys feel that the whole line will be just okay,

196
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: be fine with Chas Two different things. Yeah, it is.

197
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:06,839
Speaker 1: I think it could be okay. Yeah, I think that

198
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: ain't gonna be very good. I don't think, I mean,

199
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 1: can't trust Chads Green. He hasn't shown any reason to

200
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 1: trust him for you know, as a player in the

201
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: last couple of years. So to replace Tyron Smith, that's

202
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: gonna be tough. And then you're gonna be trying to

203
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,079
Speaker 1: grind out yards with Alfred Morris and Rod Smith and

204
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: McFadden for one game. For one game, I think I

205
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: think they can be fine. Chad. I mean, Chads played

206
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: two games last year and was pretty good. It won't

207
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: be tyrant, but I think they can be fine. It's

208
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: really if we're getting into a scenario where you're talking

209
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: about Chad's replacing Tyrn for a month, that's where I

210
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: get worried. Like if it's for three hours on Sunday,

211
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 1: I really, yeah, I think he can be fine. Here's

212
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: the only thing about four games though. If he was

213
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: doing that and he had a more experienced guard playing

214
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: beside him, then I would agree with you. I think

215
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 1: where you're starting to get into the area that concerns

216
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: me is you're now talking about Jonathan Cooper, who I

217
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: think has been fine, but he's been fine in the

218
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: context of Tyren Smith and Travis Frederick being on either

219
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: side of him. Yep, Now you're changing it up and

220
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: it's Chaz Green and Jonathan Cooper on the left side.

221
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: That worries me. That worries me a lot. One of

222
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: the like, this is one of those situations where like

223
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, like and I don't know if

224
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: he's gonna be able to get on the field on Sunday,

225
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: But like Tyron Smith just kind of has to find

226
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 1: a way like that. I mean, hope, so you're well,

227
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 1: like you're just you're into the grind of the season.

228
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: You see guys do that all the time. I mean,

229
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 1: like we talked to Marcus Lawrence put off season ending

230
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 1: surgery and wasn't as good as a player for two

231
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 1: years because of it, but he gutted through it and

232
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: did what he could. And like, I mean, if the

233
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: Cowboys are going to accomplish their goals, it sucks to

234
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: say because injuries are terrible. I can't imagine like trying

235
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: to do that job when I wasn't feeling one hundred,

236
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: Like my lower back hurts, and I'm a writer and

237
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 1: I'm in like this sucks. I can't imagine being a

238
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 1: football player, you know, but you gotta do crap like that.

239
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 1: And if he I mean, I don't he might have

240
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: to miss a game, but like Tyron Smith is just

241
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,319
Speaker 1: gonna have to find a way to not let this

242
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 1: take him out for too long of a period of time.

243
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just amazing when you think about this

244
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: and then Jason Witten in fifteen years, Yeah, it's never

245
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 1: had anything. I mean he has had things like that,

246
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: but like, why doesn't he miss games? Like what what

247
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,079
Speaker 1: does it when you're looking at Tyron Smith and Ordaz

248
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: and his knee and you're like, m shut him down. Now,

249
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 1: not gonna happen. But yet Jason Witten has never had

250
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: that moment. I don't believe it. It just makes it

251
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: just just weird of why why it's never happened with

252
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: Witten and it happens with other guys. And they need

253
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: Tyren Smith big time in this game, and I feel

254
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 1: like they're gonna look at and go now it's not good.

255
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: And not only that, but I think you have to

256
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 1: consider the fact. I mean you guys saw the game.

257
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,199
Speaker 1: I assume he saw the game last night. With Richard Sherman,

258
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 1: I've been battling Achilles problems all week and he was like,

259
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 1: it's not right. Something right, And then what happens. Now

260
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 1: it's ruptured and he's gone for the season. Not to

261
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: say that this is the same injury with It's not

262
00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: even close Achilles versus growing. But my point is sometimes

263
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:02,839
Speaker 1: when when a player pushes it and when sometimes when

264
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 1: a player plays, even when he has an injury, and

265
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: even when he knows something's not right, there is always

266
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 1: the potential that it turns into something much bigger. Right, God,

267
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: that's not here, I know. I'm just talking about a

268
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:17,959
Speaker 1: player that was banged up all week and then had

269
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: a season ending injury. With the same injury having to

270
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 1: deal with that. The trainers we've got Thursday night football

271
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: is such a clone. Well did you notice that when

272
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 1: he got hurt and once they got him up to

273
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 1: walk off the field, like the guy was, well, the

274
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 1: guy was. I assume it was their trainer or doctor

275
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 1: or someone. He kind of pushed the dude and it

276
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: made me wonder like his he was he upset that

277
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: you know, this guy has been talking to him all

278
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: week and he knew this was coming, and he still

279
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 1: played or whatever, but he was visibly upset and pushed

280
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: that guy out of the way, like get away from me,

281
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,559
Speaker 1: you know. And it's I don't know, that's a tough

282
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: situation because I bet any amount of money he was

283
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: just as much like one. I'm sure it wasn't like

284
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 1: somebody was pushing him to play. These guys want to play, right, Yeah,

285
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,200
Speaker 1: it's the player. It's never it's the train. But any

286
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 1: given Sunday where they just go out and say you're

287
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 1: gonna play, right, that doesn't happen. And it sounds like,

288
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,079
Speaker 1: at least from what Dez was talking about, like he

289
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 1: knows I still I might want to play, but at

290
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: the end of the day, it's gonna be somebody else's costs,

291
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: whether medically I can or cannot keep repeating that over

292
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: right where he's like, it's not my decisions, sor right,

293
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 1: it's not. These games aren't needed. They're just not Thursday

294
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: and night games. They think that they're needed, you know,

295
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 1: because they want to just dominate the market. But I

296
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 1: just it's not good. It's everything that they say about

297
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 1: health and trying to protect players and then to throw

298
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: them out there on a Thursday night. It's not Here's

299
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: the one thing I will say, though, I saw I

300
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 1: saw a graphic this morning that said that if they

301
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: take away the Thursday Night package, amount of money they

302
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 1: make on the Thursday Night Package every team will now

303
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 1: be The salary cap for every team will now go down.

304
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: I think it was seven point two or seven millions

305
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: somewhere in there, and on average, that means one hundred

306
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: and thirty something thousand dollars per player, that it goes down,

307
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: everybody willing to give up that money? That's the question.

308
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: Now the guys that are highly paid, maybe so, But

309
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: is everybody willing to accept the fact that now the

310
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 1: salary cap is gonna go down, which means that the

311
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: mouth that they're gonna be able to pay their players

312
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: now goes down by seven million per team. That's their

313
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: thing to figure out, right, Yeah, I mean, it doesn't

314
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 1: have to be that way. It's just the way that

315
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 1: it's just the way that it is. It's the way

316
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 1: that they because of the Sunday Night or the Thursday

317
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 1: night package that they've Okay, well, so nothing's gonna happen overnight.

318
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 1: It's gonna happen in the new CBA. So just overcompensate

319
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 1: or whatever and fix it and where you're not gonna

320
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: lose as much money. But I mean, that's that's all about,

321
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: like the revenue. Whatever the revenue is they're going to

322
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 1: get from finance and get more from CBS. And I

323
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: mean that I'm just saying, I mean, you can they

324
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: can figure that out. They don't have to play games

325
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 1: on Thursday. I don't know. All I'm saying is there

326
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 1: is a money component to this that I think everybody

327
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 1: has to be aware of because it affects the players

328
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 1: as well. And the players have to be aware of

329
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: that too. If they're pushing to say and they may

330
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: still say, hey, it's worth its us to not have

331
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 1: Thursday games and give up that revenue. I'm just saying

332
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 1: that's a part of the equation here is the amount

333
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: of money that they would be giving up. You know. Yeah,

334
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 1: all right, let's move on, Let's get some let's real

335
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 1: quick before we get to our first break. Let's see

336
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 1: if we can figure out inactives. It seems pretty straightforward.

337
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 1: I'll throw out some names. You guys tell me if

338
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 1: we're on the right track here. Dan Bailey, the assumption

339
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: would be at either Tyrn Smith or Byron Bell will

340
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 1: be inactive. Ben Abanwickery that's three. Justin Durant that's four,

341
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 1: Blake Jarwin is five. And then you're looking at a

342
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 1: situation where, assuming that they're gonna have to bring somebody

343
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 1: up for execul Elliott Spot, my assumption would be whoever

344
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: that is probably is going to be an active at

345
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 1: least this week. That makes six. And then you're looking

346
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 1: at either say a Lewis Neil or possibly Noah Brown

347
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 1: as your seventh player. Who do you guys think rounds out?

348
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 1: That be Noah Brown? So you think you think Daz

349
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 1: is just a lock? No? I mean I guess I

350
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: should have said Noah Brown or as Bryant. Okay, if

351
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 1: Dez is playing, then you might feel like you need

352
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 1: that seep in him anyways, because I mean, I know

353
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 1: Terrence Williams hopped off the field, you know, last week too,

354
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: and he hasn't been on the injury report, but still

355
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 1: with him and Dez, I think I want no, Yeah,

356
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 1: I think you can win all six receivers up for this.

357
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: So you think Lewis Neil then becomes your seventh guy? Um,

358
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:27,399
Speaker 1: that was pretty good. I would throw out Justin Justin

359
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 1: March Shillillard as a possibility and McFadden. You can't do that,

360
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: do that? Would you go into this game with just

361
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:38,159
Speaker 1: two running backs? I mean no, probably not, But I

362
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: mean doesn't sound like he's gonna play anyways. What about

363
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 1: your boy? What about your boobe? I think he's playing?

364
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 1: Do you think so? I think I think it's a

365
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 1: lock that he's going to be active this week personally, Okay,

366
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 1: whether he plays a lot on defense, I don't know that.

367
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:55,120
Speaker 1: I think they'll probably work him in on special teams.

368
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 1: I think he'll get some opportunities to play on defense.

369
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: I think, look at it, probably he has a lot

370
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,399
Speaker 1: to do with the other injuries this team's facing. But

371
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a lock by any stretch. Well,

372
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: I'll say this, if he's not, do you think been

373
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: A been Wickery then is active? So it's really just

374
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: one spot anyway, Yeah, probably no, Yeah, I'd be surprised

375
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:17,159
Speaker 1: if they sat two or dbs whatever you want to say. So,

376
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 1: but justin marsh Lillard is another guy that's I didn't

377
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 1: even think about him. Um and then yeah, probably Lewis

378
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: Neil if they need to just depend. It really depends

379
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 1: on what happens with Tyrann and Dez, I think, because

380
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: if if both of those guys sit, then that's two

381
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,879
Speaker 1: of the seven that are accounted for by guys you

382
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,120
Speaker 1: weren't expecting to have to sit. So because they don't

383
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,680
Speaker 1: have Price obviously this week, so they've been going into

384
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 1: games with Price and MALIEK. Collins and David Irving as

385
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 1: you're three, so and Ash. Ash forgot about Ash, So

386
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: then you don't have Price. Then you you could go

387
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: three and just stick with Ash, or you could bring

388
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 1: make Neil Academs. Well I got made. We need to

389
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 1: make Lawrence Taku. Yeah, I think you need one of

390
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 1: those guys. Yeah, I mean, I mean I think Lewis

391
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: Neil is gonna be active. Yeah, so yeah, maybe not

392
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,919
Speaker 1: the linebacker. You know, I think I think Atlanta. I

393
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 1: don't know. The Atlanta is tough to because of you know,

394
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 1: we talked about this running back by committee, but he

395
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,919
Speaker 1: listened to Rod Marinelli yesterday. He was saying that, you know,

396
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:25,880
Speaker 1: these guys are about as good as as it gets

397
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 1: when it comes to like a one two punch because

398
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:32,719
Speaker 1: of what the Falcons do with Um Freeman and then

399
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 1: Tevin Coleman, so both tough to bring down. That being said,

400
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,400
Speaker 1: I think you'd have to go. I think you're gonna

401
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 1: have to go with a lot of bass defense. Though

402
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 1: in this game, I mean that they will spread them around,

403
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,200
Speaker 1: but I still think that they're gonna have to play

404
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 1: bass defense a lot. So I don't know if you

405
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 1: want to go to Finland at linebacker. Well, as Dave

406
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 1: was saying earlier this week. You know, they run a

407
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 1: lot of their twelfth personnel, and it's not I think

408
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:57,880
Speaker 1: last year it seemed, at least from the games I saw,

409
00:19:57,880 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 1: it seemed like they were more of an eleven personnel

410
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 1: team last year. But I don't think that's doesn't sound

411
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 1: like that's what they're doing mostly this year. They are

412
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:07,160
Speaker 1: an eleven personnel team that for some reason wants to play.

413
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 1: It's kind of like what the Cowboys did a few

414
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 1: years ago with Gavin Eskpar like, oh, this doesn't really

415
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 1: make sense, but the Patriots we got them, so let's

416
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 1: do it. Patriots do it, so we'll do it too.

417
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: Be great? Yeah, maybe, well doing it again right now

418
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,160
Speaker 1: with Ryan Switzer. Maybe I think twenty eight three might

419
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:23,880
Speaker 1: have made them want to be more like the Patriots.

420
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. It's one. I just

421
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 1: maybe the Falcons aggravate me because I just don't think

422
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,479
Speaker 1: they're playing efficiently. Oh well, all right, let's take our

423
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 1: first break. When we come back. We are going to

424

Speaker 1: the combine combine see see comb over one hundred yards. Um,

476
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:16,120
Speaker 1: see just the running backs though, right we're not talking

477
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 1: about the quarterback being added into that. Running backs. See, Yeah,

478
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 1: they're gonna they're gonna do it. They're gonna do it. Man, Yeah,

479
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 1: you're gonna see. You're convinced that Rod Smith gang right here.

480
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:31,399
Speaker 1: Thirty eight on the bandwagon. Now forty five thirty eight

481
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 1: plus thirty plus forty is over one hundred. Not exciting,

482
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 1: but no, and it's not gonna have anybody talking on Monday.

483
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 1: But I think I said in my column eighty seven,

484
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 1: like eighty seven, forty five and seventeen or something like that.

485
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 1: Like I think they're gonna run for like one hundred

486
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 1: and forty yards. Dang, what is a quarterback going to

487
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 1: lead them in rushing? Alfred Alfred Morris is gonna lead

488
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: them in rushing? Back? Will throw some into though. Yeah,

489
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 1: I'm fattening on a seventeen h It's nice carry all right?

490
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:07,119
Speaker 1: With Zeke being out, well, the Cowboys really need to

491
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 1: rely on the defense in order to win the next games.

492
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 1: See no, no, I don't have to rely on the defense.

493
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean they can't. They can't rely on

494
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 1: the deal. I will tell you this, if, if, if

495
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: the defense doesn't play as well as it's been playing

496
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,120
Speaker 1: the last three weeks, they will not win the next

497
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,640
Speaker 1: two games. But maybe they're playing well because of Zeke.

498
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 1: That's my point. So now we're about to find out

499
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 1: are they good enough to play without Zeke in the

500
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 1: way that they've played the last three weeks. If they

501
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 1: are not, I don't think it will be enough to

502
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 1: beat these two teams they have coming up in the

503
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 1: next two weeks. I guess my point is, just like

504
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 1: you're you're not You're not going to win these games.

505
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 1: If your offense isn't scoring twenty four or more. I

506
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 1: really against the team that's not giving up very many.

507
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 1: What they I think the most of giving up twenty

508
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,719
Speaker 1: six is that we say yesterday and twenty one's the average,

509
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 1: seven and seventeen is the average over the last month.

510
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 1: But you're saying they're not gonna win. No, that's not

511
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 1: what I'm saying at all. I'm just saying the offense

512
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 1: needs to be playing well and the defense. The defense

513
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 1: has to play as well as it has the last

514
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 1: two weeks. But like I'm trying to tell you that,

515
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 1: I don't think the Cowboys are gonna win like a

516
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,679
Speaker 1: twelve to ten slug fest. That's not what they've been

517
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 1: the last three weeks when they've played really well. I

518
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,399
Speaker 1: know that, and that's my point. But yeah, if the

519
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 1: offense goes if if the offense goes in the tank

520
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 1: and they're not humming the way that they have been,

521
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 1: it won't matter how well the defense is playing. That's

522
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 1: really what I'm trying to say. I get you, and

523
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 1: I and I agree with that. I guess what I'm

524
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 1: saying is I think I agree with your first point

525
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 1: that I still think the offense can move. I don't

526
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:37,639
Speaker 1: think it'll be as explosive, but I think it still

527
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 1: can move. So I think they'll still score some points,

528
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:41,880
Speaker 1: maybe not get into the thirties, but I do think

529
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,880
Speaker 1: they'll get it into the load of mid twenties. And

530
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 1: that's why I say this defense is going to have

531
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 1: to be as good as it's been the last three

532
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 1: weeks in order for that to be enough, because I

533
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:53,879
Speaker 1: don't think I think the offense takes a step back

534
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:55,719
Speaker 1: and the defense is going to have to make up

535
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 1: that difference and whole teams under under that you know,

536
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,880
Speaker 1: somewhere in that upper teams low twenties in order to win.

537
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:05,159
Speaker 1: And that's tough. That's a tough thing to ask against

538
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 1: Atlanta if they're clicking that day, and certainly against Philadelphia.

539
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 1: To the Philadelphia the question is is the question was

540
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:13,439
Speaker 1: are they going to rely on the defense? So against

541
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, did they rely on the defense or did

542
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 1: they rely on the offense? They relied on the offense, right, Okay,

543
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 1: that's right, and they always haven't always will right, So

544
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 1: that's I'm just we just answered the question, and that's

545
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 1: relying on the offense. With Zeke Zeke's out of the picture.

546
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that, like the formula doesn't change, You're

547
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,639
Speaker 1: not you're not winning games leaning on the defense, like

548
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 1: going into a game like all right, let's just let's

549
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 1: get seven points on the board and the defense will

550
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,639
Speaker 1: do the rest. Like that ain't happening. So agree, How

551
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:47,479
Speaker 1: does it happen with Alabama? All right, Nugent, how's a

552
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:53,359
Speaker 1: perfect game? No? No, it doesn't miss anything. Now he's

553
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:56,400
Speaker 1: gonna miss an extra point. That's fine. That's actually got

554
00:26:56,440 --> 00:27:00,160
Speaker 1: my crazy prediction. I think you'll have a perfect game.

555
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 1: He's been what has he not been perfect? Since he's

556
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 1: been here? He hasn't? Has he missed? He missed? He'll

557
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 1: go he has forty nine all I'm sorry, I agree,

558
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,679
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not disagreeing. What I'm saying is I

559
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:14,399
Speaker 1: think for what, for what he's been asked to do,

560
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 1: he's been he's been really, really good. So nah, I disagree.

561
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 1: I don't think you hit the upright on a on

562
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:24,679
Speaker 1: an extra point. I think that's it counts. It counts,

563
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: but it doesn't mean that you're that you're perfect, and

564
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 1: and it definitely means that you're only about ten inches

565
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 1: away from from missing an extra points he makes it

566
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 1: in and Dan kicked up right before too. We call

567
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: him a good kicker, so it happens. I think he

568
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 1: goes too for two on the day, So yeah, I mean,

569
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 1: statistically he'll be perfect, but like he's he's far from

570
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 1: a perfect kicker, you know what I mean? Yeah? But yeah, right, okay,

571
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 1: Taco guess his seconds? No? No, no, no, come on, man,

572
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 1: what No? You don't think he's on a roll now? Nope?

573
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 1: Pretty I wish they were like, hi, this week. No

574
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 1: is the same in all the romance languages or else,

575
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 1: I would say, like, I can't say no other way. Yeah,

576
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 1: there's no other weeks? No? Yeah, there you go yet Russian?

577
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 1: See I like it? Yeah? Hell no? Is that from

578
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:24,440
Speaker 1: from Star Wars? That Madagascar? All right? Will the Cowboys

579
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 1: get a holding penalty call in their favor? No? Have

580
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,639
Speaker 1: they had one all season? In the last Body tell

581
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 1: me they haven't done it a long time. I don't know.

582
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 1: There's something floating around the internet like they haven't been

583
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 1: the beneficiary of a holding call in like six weeks

584
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 1: or something like that, which is it's like it's an

585
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 1: abnormality of crazy. Just think about it. Like it probably

586
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 1: happens every place. So the fact that it's not been

587
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 1: called in six games, it's pretty It's almost like there's

588
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 1: a conspiracy by the NFL saying how boys. I'm just saying, uh,

589
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 1: it did bench their best player for six games. M

590
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 1: maybe there is a conspiracy against the Oh Zeke, I

591
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 1: was thinking, Oh, there definitely is a conspiracy. Well, who

592
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 1: doesn't know they against the Cowboys? Like that's known, Like

593
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 1: we know that, right, Why would anybody conspire against the

594
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 1: league's most visible and successful team? Like if anybody will

595
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 1: point makes well because maybe their owners trying to fire

596
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 1: the boss an hour into No, here's the question, who's

597
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:34,959
Speaker 1: the boss? That's the problem. Who's the boss here? All right?

598
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 1: Scan Drake and Brown will hold Julio to under one

599
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty five and twenty five yards? Is Julio

600
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 1: even gonna play? I think that might be That is

601
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 1: actually a good question forget Zeke. That might be the

602
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 1: biggest variable in this whole thing, because I think they're

603
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 1: gonna be able to run the ball. And the only

604
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 1: thing that really terrifies me about the Falcons is that

605
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 1: big guy just streaking open downfield and if he's out

606
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 1: at changes a lot, It changes everything, Taylor Gabriel. Now

607
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 1: we're he's scaremy. Now we're even if Zeke's not there

608
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 1: and Julio's not there. Now you're even to quote Nick

609
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 1: he's gonna play, well, I mean, well he'll play. They

610
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 1: always play against the Cowboys. Just that's what him up.

611
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 1: That's just give him some tour at all. I think

612
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 1: he'll play, though, and you're gonna mock me, and then

613
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 1: you're gonna say, are you rid? Nick? I don't know.

614
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 1: You said over one hundred and thirty one thirty five,

615
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: I bet he'll have one twenty or something like that. Yeah,

616
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 1: like he's gonna have a So was it? Was it

617
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 1: c or not? Like I'm trying to figre out where

618
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to be. The question was will he go

619
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 1: over one hundred and thirty five? Him? Hold him under? No? Yeah,

620
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 1: he's gonna if he plays a good day. If he plays,

621
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 1: I think he'll have a good day. That doesn't mean

622
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 1: they win, because you know, if he doesn't play, then

623
00:30:56,120 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 1: there there's under and then you don't think he doesn't play.

624
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 1: If he doesn't play, and then you know you have

625
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 1: that working for you. And then if he does play,

626
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 1: he's probably gonna be hobbled around a little bit. So

627
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 1: I don't know. One hundred and twenty yards one hundred

628
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 1: thirty five Larry Fitz put up when sixty and they

629
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 1: still won that game by eleven points. So, but I

630
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 1: don't know that's because they didn't have any running backs. True. Yeah,

631
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 1: we also know Atlanta will go away from their running

632
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 1: backs even when their running backs are successful. Right, So

633
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 1: it's true they may take their running away into the game. Yes,

634
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,719
Speaker 1: think about their numbers. This year might happen. They did

635
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 1: it in Super Bowl too. Yeah, good point. When they're

636
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 1: up by twenty eight day for the Seahawks, all those

637
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 1: guys are hurt. Wow, Cam Chancellor, Richard Sherman, Dwayne Brown,

638
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 1: He's got Dwayne Brown, Frank Clark, c J. Prosie. It's

639
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 1: a game of attrition, man, It's a game of attrition.

640
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 1: Have you guys ever seen and I saw this. I

641
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 1: saw this. I'm sorry it's jack the game. But have

642
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 1: you guys seen that? There was a somebody put on Twitter.

643
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 1: They put the list of all the big name players

644
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 1: that have been hurt the season or out for the year.

645
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 1: I don't know that I've seen a season like that,

646
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 1: Like in the time I've watched football, if you do,

647
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:06,719
Speaker 1: you guys remember a season where it just seemed like

648
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 1: that many stars were lost for the year. I think

649
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 1: of two who who's been out? Beckham Rodgers is out,

650
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 1: Beckham is out? What what DeShawn Watson, Watson? Uh now

651
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 1: Richard Sherman, who's maybe the most second most visible defender

652
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 1: in the league behind what probably right, um, there's more

653
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 1: though there are. The list was like it was a

654
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 1: list of probably fifteen names, and it was like, yeah,

655
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 1: that's a star, Yep, that's a star, and it was

656
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 1: there was significant players. I mean, these are big name

657
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 1: players that are that are out for the season. It

658
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 1: seemed I mean it happens every year, like huge players

659
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 1: go out every year, but it definitely, I mean, this

660
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 1: seems worse than ever before. And I mean it's like,

661
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 1: like I wrote about it on my column last night,

662
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 1: like between Rogers, Watt and Beckham and and I would

663
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 1: like even after seven games, I'd throw DeShawn Watson in

664
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 1: there too. Like those are guys where you're like, wait,

665
00:32:57,800 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 1: he's playing, let me get the remote, Like I don't

666
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 1: want to that guy. And now though they're not playing

667
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 1: even a guy like like like Dalvin Cook who has

668
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 1: such a great start to the season and then he's

669
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 1: out for the year. I mean, if you can get

670
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 1: to that next layer of players like he's like a

671
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 1: lot of guys, rozeke in there. He's not hurt, but

672
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 1: he's one of the most exciting running backs in the game,

673
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 1: and he's out for six weeks. So it's been this

674
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 1: season has kind of sucked. It's been weird. It's been

675
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 1: a really weird year. Well, the Cowboys defense will have

676
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 1: another good game. See, I think they're gonna win. So

677
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 1: by that, man, I mean they'll I think they'll have

678
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 1: more points than the opponent when it's over. So I guess, see,

679
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I don't think they're gonna

680
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 1: dominate by any stretch, but I think they'll play well.

681
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 1: I'll say, I say see honestly, I mean, I don't

682
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 1: know about Julio. I've changes everything. I believe in this

683
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 1: defense now. I mean I was waiting to see what

684
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 1: they would do against Kansas City. After what they did

685
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 1: against Kansas City, I believe that this is a good defense.

686
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 1: What I want to see is if they're good enough

687
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 1: to be like that without Zeke being on the opposite

688
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 1: side of the ball. Now they can show me that,

689
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 1: then I'm really a believer that this is a legit defense.

690
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 1: They've built something here and now you just keep adding

691
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:14,239
Speaker 1: pieces to it. But but I'm starting to be a

692
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 1: believer that this defense can be really good. I'm not

693
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 1: and I'm not trying to move the goalpost like I

694
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:21,799
Speaker 1: don't want to be the guy that's like, well, this

695
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 1: is the real test. I know they passed that one,

696
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 1: but you know it's an MVP caliber quarterback with a

697
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 1: lot of weapons. On the road. It's indoors, so you

698
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 1: know the weather it will be good. So, like I said,

699
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 1: I believe that they can get sacks and I believe

700
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 1: that they can get takeaway as because they've been doing it.

701
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:39,840
Speaker 1: So it's not so much that I don't believe, but

702
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:42,319
Speaker 1: I just think this will be a very challenging game

703
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 1: for that all those factors. So if they do it

704
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:49,400
Speaker 1: against Matt Ryan in this environment, that would be a statement,

705
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 1: really a strong statement. Let's go backwards two weeks ago.

706
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 1: If you guys were looking at these two teams, the

707
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 1: Cowboys were gonna have to face in Kansas City and Atlanta,

708
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 1: which one would you you have said was going to

709
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 1: be the toughest matchup from a standpoint of the defense

710
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:05,280
Speaker 1: at Cowboys defense having to match up with their offense.

711
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:08,920
Speaker 1: I mean Kansas City. I still can't believe how well

712
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 1: they lay in that game. And that's my point. Like

713
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 1: we keep talking about at Lant and how good they are,

714
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 1: and I agree they're good. Kansas City was better, but

715
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 1: Kansas City was better. And the fact that they were

716
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 1: able to do what they did against Kansas City, especially

717
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,279
Speaker 1: in the second half, and when you really think about it,

718
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:22,320
Speaker 1: I'm not the one again to take away a play,

719
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:24,359
Speaker 1: but you have to consider the fact that the way

720
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 1: they scored that play right before the half. Outside of

721
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 1: that play there was that was a pretty dominating performance.

722
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:32,799
Speaker 1: You say, you're not the type to take away but play,

723
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:34,959
Speaker 1: but we talk about that all the time on this show,

724
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 1: like you take away plays off that's not taking away

725
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:38,799
Speaker 1: a play. What I'm saying is I know what you're saying,

726
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:41,400
Speaker 1: except for that play, that was a very very dominating

727
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 1: performance by the defense. And so when you talk about

728
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:46,440
Speaker 1: that kind of performance against an offense that we think

729
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:48,959
Speaker 1: is better than the offense they're gonna play this week,

730
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 1: I think you can't help, but say that they're they're

731
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 1: really good. Okay, taking away that play, because it's one

732
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 1: thing to just let a guy go eighty yards up

733
00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 1: the middle for a run on a base defense and

734
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,319
Speaker 1: say take that play out. Well, you can't because you

735
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:03,799
Speaker 1: were trying to stop him. But when you're talking about

736
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 1: an abnormal scheme where you probably don't practice a lot

737
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 1: and you're not going to really face that situation again,

738
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 1: that that caliber player, I absolutely agree with, y'all. I

739
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:14,319
Speaker 1: just like to give Derek a hard time because he

740
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 1: says stuff like that all the time and I love it.

741
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,880
Speaker 1: This good We get good conversation out of it. Go ahead,

742
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:21,920
Speaker 1: there's just one last one, Dave. You pretty much already

743
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,799
Speaker 1: answer this one. But in case that Tyren Smith does

744
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:28,280
Speaker 1: not play the old line, it's gonna do their job

745
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 1: and be good. And again we talked about that earlier,

746
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 1: but m so you know that, you know, you know,

747
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:39,720
Speaker 1: if they don't have Tyren Smith, they're gonna they're gonna

748
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 1: struggle and you're gonna notice it quickly. You're like Vic,

749
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 1: who like which Beasley? Vic Beasley not Cole Beasley, Vic Beasley,

750
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:50,840
Speaker 1: the one that has two sacks, already in the first quarter.

751
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 1: That guy. You think it would be that bad, even

752
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:55,880
Speaker 1: with a quarterback that's mobile that can get out of trouble.

753
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:58,319
Speaker 1: You think it's gonna be like one of those kind

754
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:03,239
Speaker 1: of days. Yep, yep. You know the infomercial for the

755
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 1: um the spray that like fixes leaks and stuff like

756
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 1: the guys like, yeah, he's like I put it in

757

Speaker 1: down with flex seal and like the water's gonna come in.

761
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 1: You probably don't want that to be your permanent solution,

762
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 1: but like you can get a whole, you can get there.

763
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 1: It starts bubbling up and you think it was gonna

764
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:31,680
Speaker 1: we're gonna get it. You're gonna get out of the

765
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 1: boat and your shoes are gonna be wet, but you're

766
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:37,720
Speaker 1: gonna have gotten there. Chads Green is duct tape. Yes,

767
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 1: that's exactly what he is. And that's okay. We had

768
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,240
Speaker 1: the diaper last year, now we got the duct tape.

769
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:48,760
Speaker 1: I think I just ugly, I mean just dark gray,

770
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:51,440
Speaker 1: not try to hide it, but it does the job right.

771
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 1: It can hold your car together like it could do

772
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 1: a lot of things. I don't want him starting at

773
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:58,360
Speaker 1: tackle for a month because I don't trust that he

774
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:01,360
Speaker 1: can even make it through a month. But one game.

775
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:04,319
Speaker 1: He's a talented player. He's a top one hundred pick.

776
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:07,360
Speaker 1: He's done it before. His adrenaline's going to be pumping

777
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:10,280
Speaker 1: because he knows that it's all on him. If if

778
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:12,359
Speaker 1: you know, if they're supposed to be successful, he has

779
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 1: to play well. I think they'll they'll be fine. It

780
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:16,920
Speaker 1: won't be their best performance of the year, but they

781
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:19,640

843
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 1: from Thomas and Mississippi. Thomas, what up? What's up? Derek?

844
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:25,600
Speaker 1: David and Amber? I just have two comments. Uh. I

845
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:29,279
Speaker 1: know last week Darry was the only one that leading

846
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:32,320
Speaker 1: the Cowboys against Kansas City. Don't get me wrong, Kansas

847
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:35,360
Speaker 1: City was a great team. But I think the Cowboys

848
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:37,879
Speaker 1: are really good team. You know, they they are good

849
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 1: in all spaces. They're complete team. I don't think I

850
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 1: would listening to Rick Gods on the Morning Show talking

851
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:45,840
Speaker 1: about Chris Jones as a pump. So I think and

852
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 1: I think we've had Sean Legal kay and at Green

853
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:52,920
Speaker 1: Bay and that uh ramming game. I think we one

854
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 1: of those two games. I think the DeMarcus Lawrence and

855
00:41:55,640 --> 00:42:00,600
Speaker 1: with David Irb and Shawn Lee and Scandrid, I think

856
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:02,759
Speaker 1: we are a complete team. I know we're gonna miss

857
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:05,120
Speaker 1: See he's a special back, but I think there's the

858
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:08,320
Speaker 1: other backguard are really good. We're gonna miss Tyring, but

859
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:11,359
Speaker 1: I think Chad Screen would be serviceable. So I think,

860
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:13,600
Speaker 1: you know, even a game or through a couple of

861
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 1: years ago when we handled down and down about two points,

862
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:18,640
Speaker 1: I think our defense would be the differentest time to

863
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:21,759
Speaker 1: keep it in the game in our offense and that

864
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:25,560
Speaker 1: it really take us over. That's my comments. I appreciate

865
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 1: y'all guys. Enjoy y'all the show, See y'all later. All right,

866
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 1: Thank thanks man. You know, yeah, Sean Lee might have

867
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:38,879
Speaker 1: helped him win some those two games, maybe, But would

868
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 1: David Johnson have helped Arizona win that game in Week three?

869
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 1: I mean, they couldn't run the ball at all. They

870
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 1: struggled down in the red zone. What Odell would they've

871
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:51,480
Speaker 1: beaten the Giants of O'Dell playing. I mean, I probably

872
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 1: the way the Giants have been, I just think it

873
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:58,359
Speaker 1: just all works out, you know, it all works out

874
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:00,200
Speaker 1: in those ways. I see a lot of people that

875
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:02,719
Speaker 1: will say that, man, they were eight name, but they

876
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 1: could have easily been twelve and four. Okay, but you

877
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:06,719
Speaker 1: probably could have been four and twelve two. So it

878
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:08,919
Speaker 1: all just works out. The beauty of the NFL. Yeah,

879
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:10,400
Speaker 1: I mean, they've had some games they could have won

880
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:13,600
Speaker 1: without something. But look at that list we just talked about.

881
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:15,680
Speaker 1: The Cowboys have been in pretty good shape when it

882
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:18,000
Speaker 1: comes to injuries this year, not going better than the

883
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:21,560
Speaker 1: vast majority of teams. So yeah, seven had that major

884
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 1: injury and for the season, right, Yeah, I think his point,

885
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:27,200
Speaker 1: and he wasn't making excuses. He's trying to say, this

886
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:29,880
Speaker 1: is a good football team with Shaun Lee, they're a

887
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 1: good team. This is a balanced team. I get what

888
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:34,160
Speaker 1: he's saying. It just made me think about you know,

889
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:37,360
Speaker 1: it goes both ways. They've had to play some some

890
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:41,400
Speaker 1: teams without some of their best players, so yeah, it's interesting.

891
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, yeah, I definitely picked the Chiefs

892
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:46,400
Speaker 1: to beat the Cowboys. I don't even feel sorry about it.

893
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:49,520
Speaker 1: Like the Cowboys exceeded my expectations. That's I never feel

894
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:51,960
Speaker 1: sorry about that. Well, I don't feel I guess when

895
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:53,640
Speaker 1: I'm picked him to beat the Broncos. I guess what

896
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:55,919
Speaker 1: I'm trying to say is I feel justified in making

897
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:57,680
Speaker 1: that pick. Like if you're trying to tell me I'm

898
00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:00,320
Speaker 1: dumb for not seeing that coming, I don't. I just agree.

899
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:03,879
Speaker 1: But that was gonna be my point. Might feel bad Monday, Yeah,

900
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:08,279
Speaker 1: if they win, I'm gonna feel bad then. So you're

901
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:10,400
Speaker 1: about to make a prediction. Yeah, yeah, we're doing it

902
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 1: that Yeah, oh sorry, Well I was just gonna like

903
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:15,360
Speaker 1: doing it. And I just spent fifteen minutes saying I

904
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:17,239
Speaker 1: think Chads will be fine. I think the running backs

905
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:20,319
Speaker 1: will be fine. But like, how many people are out there,

906
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:22,920
Speaker 1: just like, I mean, other than Nicks talking about Chad's green, Like,

907
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:24,560
Speaker 1: how many people are like, yeah, Chads is gonna be

908
00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 1: a turnstile. They're dead in the water, They're freaking awful.

909
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 1: Like nobody was saying that heading into Denver and they

910
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:33,440
Speaker 1: got it put on them. So it's this game is

911
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:37,080
Speaker 1: like largely unpredictable, and you just make your best guests

912
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:39,480
Speaker 1: with the information that you have, and sometimes you're right

913
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:41,520
Speaker 1: and sometimes you're wrong. Like it's just the way it goes.

914
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:44,920
Speaker 1: I don't know. All right, let's take a question for Twitter. So,

915
00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:49,880
Speaker 1: if the Cowboys lose this weekend against the Falcons, should

916
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:55,440
Speaker 1: there be a very alarming concern here moving forward? And

917
00:44:55,600 --> 00:45:00,880
Speaker 1: I and I guess that question. I mean, it's very broad,

918
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:03,800
Speaker 1: I would say, because the Cowboys could play well and

919
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:08,160
Speaker 1: still lose, you know, so, but in it's regarding you know,

920
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:10,920
Speaker 1: Tyron Smith in Casey's out. I'm glad you set me

921
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:12,400
Speaker 1: up for that, because I was about to pull my

922
00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 1: mickey and be like, well, how'd they lose? Like, I mean,

923
00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:19,319
Speaker 1: if they get their doors blown off forty to ten, Yeah,

924
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:22,440
Speaker 1: that's that's alarming. If they lose on a last second

925
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:25,439
Speaker 1: field goal, but Chaz plays the game of his life

926
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:27,239
Speaker 1: and they run for one hundred and fifty yards, it's

927
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:30,520
Speaker 1: way less alarming than it could be. You know, this

928
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:32,799
Speaker 1: would be a bad game to lose with Philly comming

929
00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 1: in town the next week, and this is a team

930
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 1: that's looking like it'll be a part of the NFC

931
00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 1: Wildcard pictures, So it would definitely be troubling, But I

932
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:43,960
Speaker 1: mean I can think of worse things than being five

933
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:46,359
Speaker 1: and four heading into a big division game. I mean,

934
00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:49,719
Speaker 1: if you lose both of these games, that's, uh, that's

935
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:53,239
Speaker 1: pretty rough, Like that's that's not good. But five and

936
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:55,239
Speaker 1: four with a chance to beat a division team and

937
00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:58,040
Speaker 1: stay alive in the wildcard hunt, like, losing this game

938
00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:01,359
Speaker 1: isn't the end of the world. But I don't think

939
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:03,480
Speaker 1: they will beat the Eagles, And I mean maybe my

940
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:06,319
Speaker 1: opinional change over the next nine days, but I doubt

941
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:09,400
Speaker 1: that happens, which makes this game all the more important.

942
00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:11,400
Speaker 1: So it would be at least a little bit alarming

943
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:13,719
Speaker 1: if they don't win. The division games matter obviously the

944
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:16,120
Speaker 1: most of any games, but you get outside of the

945
00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:19,640
Speaker 1: division games Atlanta Seattle or the two games left on

946
00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:22,160
Speaker 1: the schedule, I think the Cowboys must win. And I

947
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:24,160
Speaker 1: don't mean that means must win or you don't get

948
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:26,279
Speaker 1: in playoffs. I mean that for their best shot of

949
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:28,560
Speaker 1: getting in the playoffs, they need those two games. You

950
00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 1: said that yesterday, right, Nick, Like, we're like, yeah, nine

951
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:33,840
Speaker 1: wins probably gets you a wildcard, and Nick was like,

952
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:36,680
Speaker 1: if it's the right nine, yeah, who it is? Right?

953
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:39,359
Speaker 1: So those two games. That's why this game, it would

954
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:42,120
Speaker 1: be alarming if they lose. It doesn't matter how they play.

955
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:44,319
Speaker 1: It will be alarming if they lose, because it now

956
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:47,240
Speaker 1: puts them in a very tough situation with the wild cards.

957
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:49,680
Speaker 1: It's standings. I still disagree with that, because, like I said,

958
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:53,560
Speaker 1: if they play freaking great and lose, at least you think,

959
00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:56,120
Speaker 1: all right, they can do this without Zeke. They can

960
00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:57,960
Speaker 1: still play the way they want to play. They're still

961
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:01,040
Speaker 1: a decent football team. If they like they forgot what

962
00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:03,719
Speaker 1: they're even doing because they don't have Zeke or I mean,

963
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:05,920
Speaker 1: if the wheels just fall off and Atlanta runs them

964
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:08,640
Speaker 1: out of the building, I think that's a whole different

965
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:11,439
Speaker 1: scenario than losing a heartbreaker, you know, because at least

966
00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:13,879
Speaker 1: playing well and losing, I'm at least like, all right, well,

967
00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:16,120
Speaker 1: we've got five more opportunities to get this thing on

968
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:19,560
Speaker 1: the right track. If they just look hapless, that's another conversation.

969
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:22,120
Speaker 1: That's all good, But you can't get that game back,

970
00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:23,919
Speaker 1: and that loss is still going to be that loss.

971
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:25,320
Speaker 1: And when you get to the end of the season

972
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:27,319
Speaker 1: and you're figuring out who's going to be the wild card,

973
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:29,920
Speaker 1: no matter whether you played well and lost, or played

974
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:32,640
Speaker 1: poorly and loss. That loss is still gonna matter. Playing

975
00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:35,640
Speaker 1: poorly and losing just at least gives me confidence that

976
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:38,080
Speaker 1: you can play. I mean, playing well and losing gives

977
00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:39,719
Speaker 1: me confidence that you can get Maybe you get some

978
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:42,320
Speaker 1: wins that you didn't expect to get. Sure. Yeah, absolutely,

979
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:44,879
Speaker 1: that makes sense. So obviously he was supposed to miss

980
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:47,799
Speaker 1: the first six games of the season, and now he's

981
00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:50,480
Speaker 1: gonna miss these six. I think when you look at it,

982
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:53,759
Speaker 1: this is a little bit more favorable to the Cowboys. Really. Yeah,

983
00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:56,880
Speaker 1: I think these six games right here now that because

984
00:47:56,920 --> 00:47:59,879
Speaker 1: you know the teams a little bit more. I don't

985
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:04,279
Speaker 1: know if they beat the Cardinals without Zeke, I mean

986
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:06,319
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. He didn't play great in that game,

987
00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:08,960
Speaker 1: But same with the Giants. I mean it's hard, it's

988
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:10,840
Speaker 1: hard to factor that in now. But if you just

989
00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:13,319
Speaker 1: look at it, at Atlanta, then you got home games

990
00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:17,239
Speaker 1: against Philly, the Chargers, the Redskins, at the Giants, and

991
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:20,920
Speaker 1: at the Raiders. I mean without with Morris and rod

992
00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:23,640
Speaker 1: Smith and McFadden. I don't know about the Eagles, but

993
00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:25,680
Speaker 1: they could beat the Chargers. You can you can beat

994
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:27,920
Speaker 1: the Redskins, of course, on Thursday night at the Giants,

995
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:30,440
Speaker 1: you could definitely win that game. And then at Oakland,

996
00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:33,239
Speaker 1: I mean, they're not playing great either, So I'm not

997
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:35,800
Speaker 1: saying they will because you can never to a certainty

998
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:39,279
Speaker 1: predict anything in the NFL. But take the roster one

999
00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:42,040
Speaker 1: to fifty three, the location of the game, and what

1000
00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:47,920
Speaker 1: they both do. The Cowboys should beat the Chargers, the Redskins,

1001
00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:50,319
Speaker 1: and the Giants. I think they should win those three games.

1002
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:53,000
Speaker 1: The Redskins, I'm not again, I didn't say will, Yeah,

1003
00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:55,600
Speaker 1: I did not. No, No, I'm saying when you say should, though, should,

1004
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:57,960
Speaker 1: that makes it seem to me at least that they

1005
00:48:57,960 --> 00:49:00,320
Speaker 1: are clearly a better team. I think they're about equal

1006
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:04,720
Speaker 1: with Washington. You not better team playing at home. I mean, again,

1007
00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:07,360
Speaker 1: not saying well, I think they're a better team in

1008
00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:13,400
Speaker 1: that situation. And then Oakland's not playing well, And so Oakland, Atlanta,

1009
00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:15,520
Speaker 1: and Philly are the three where you're just like, well,

1010
00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:17,600
Speaker 1: we'll see how this goes. But if you can at

1011
00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:20,279
Speaker 1: least get those three three and three is not the

1012
00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:21,880
Speaker 1: end of the world. I mean, if you're eight and

1013
00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:23,800
Speaker 1: six for heading into the last two weeks of the

1014
00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:25,920
Speaker 1: season and you have Zeke back I can think of

1015
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:28,399
Speaker 1: way worse places to be. Yeah, and now that team

1016
00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:31,080
Speaker 1: you're gonna play when Zeke returns is without one of

1017
00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:34,000
Speaker 1: their best players in Richard Sherman, and that that list

1018
00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:35,960
Speaker 1: depending on how many of those guys come back. They

1019
00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:37,839
Speaker 1: had a pretty full list of guys that got hurt

1020
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:40,879
Speaker 1: last night as well. So yeah, that's certainly looking more

1021
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:43,759
Speaker 1: like a winnable game, not that it wasn't before, but

1022
00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:46,239
Speaker 1: it certainly looks much more problem You just can't look

1023
00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:49,120
Speaker 1: like Joe Looney when he comes back, though, Zeke. Oh,

1024
00:49:49,239 --> 00:49:51,239
Speaker 1: that's true. That is a good point. I mean he

1025
00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:54,799
Speaker 1: needs to. He needs to Whatever he's gonna be doing

1026
00:49:54,880 --> 00:49:57,120
Speaker 1: in six weeks, I mean that, I think is what

1027
00:49:57,239 --> 00:50:00,160
Speaker 1: we're not talking about as much is just what's he's

1028
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:03,160
Speaker 1: gonna be doing. So Nick, who's taking care of this? Zeke? Tup?

1029
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:05,640
Speaker 1: Have you ever seen the Training Montain? I know you

1030
00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:08,080
Speaker 1: have because you love the Rocky movies. Yeah, the Training

1031
00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:10,800
Speaker 1: Montage and Rocky four where he like runs to the

1032
00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:13,920
Speaker 1: top of the mountain. Yeah, and as drag goes like

1033
00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:16,960
Speaker 1: in his facility. Yeah, he's punching this thing how many

1034
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:19,359
Speaker 1: And I don't care about that. He's gonna be running

1035
00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:23,960
Speaker 1: away from like Todd Williams and no, Zeke's just Zeke's

1036
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:25,680
Speaker 1: gonna be running up and down mountains and stuff. I

1037
00:50:25,719 --> 00:50:28,359
Speaker 1: don't know. He's gonna be lifting people. Yeah, he's gonna

1038
00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:31,920
Speaker 1: be a ton of here in Dallas, gonna be hanging

1039
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:34,800
Speaker 1: out at his house like three miles from here and

1040
00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:37,319
Speaker 1: going to the gym. That's what he's gonna be doing

1041
00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:41,320
Speaker 1: this with a picture of what Seattle on his window

1042
00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:44,160
Speaker 1: and just gonna turn or picture of the dell. That's it.

1043
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:49,239
Speaker 1: There's a concrete cowboy across from the good Is that legal? Like?

1044
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:51,960
Speaker 1: Could he hang out in that bar? That's a public place?

1045
00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:55,239
Speaker 1: It's on cowboys property. Yeah, so he's just gonna hang

1046
00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:57,239
Speaker 1: out on the deck at concrete cowboy just kind of

1047
00:50:57,280 --> 00:50:59,000
Speaker 1: like over there, Yeah, look over at it? Is it?

1048
00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:02,920
Speaker 1: Is it cowboy his property? I mean no, No, anything

1049
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:06,640
Speaker 1: outside of the facility is not. Jerry Jones does not.

1050
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:09,160
Speaker 1: I wonder why you know that, but that delicion it's cowboys.

1051
00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:11,080
Speaker 1: I don't want to tell you how I do. And

1052
00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:15,160
Speaker 1: Jones family properties. It's from a friends all right. Well,

1053
00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:17,600
Speaker 1: you know the ring of honor goes all the way

1054
00:51:17,600 --> 00:51:19,960
Speaker 1: down the street, So maybe it's just the Cowboys. No,

1055
00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:22,840
Speaker 1: that's not, but that doesn't mean it's the Cowboys property.

1056
00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:26,759
Speaker 1: I'll be Cowboys fit. Can he go there? Probably not.

1057
00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:30,000
Speaker 1: I'll be looking for can he go there? I don't know?

1058
00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:35,440
Speaker 1: Cowboys fit is yes? Yeah, which is like an exception here.

1059
00:51:36,200 --> 00:51:38,600
Speaker 1: I think he really can if you wanted to. Yeah, definitely,

1060
00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:41,839
Speaker 1: it's a public place. I guess I doubt Zeke. He's

1061
00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:44,400
Speaker 1: not on the level where he's got his own home. Jim, Like,

1062
00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:47,000
Speaker 1: that's Tom Brady money right there. You know Romo had

1063
00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:48,800
Speaker 1: his own gym. That's true. That's a good point. Is

1064
00:51:48,960 --> 00:51:50,600
Speaker 1: Romo is super kidding. I don't know if he had

1065
00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:52,640
Speaker 1: his own gym, But I wonder where. I wonder where

1066
00:51:52,680 --> 00:51:54,759
Speaker 1: he'll go. Like, is Zeke just going to buy a

1067
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:58,200
Speaker 1: subscription to Lifetime Fitness? Like I mean, I mean I

1068
00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:00,719
Speaker 1: just rolling in. I don't know. I'm what they've got

1069
00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:05,000
Speaker 1: the Michael Johnson Fitness There's like some places where professional

1070
00:52:05,080 --> 00:52:08,759
Speaker 1: athletes trained in the city around the country league and

1071
00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:13,000
Speaker 1: having suspension suspended players go somewhere. They have a spot. Yeah,

1072
00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:16,279
Speaker 1: trust me, they have a spot. They have a guy. Yeah,

1073
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:20,480
Speaker 1: are go see this dude? Yeah? See Frank, Like, hey,

1074
00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:29,719
Speaker 1: cowboys clipboards. Who we got Let's see Cowboys Cowboys ops

1075
00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:33,719
Speaker 1: has like a binder where all right, you're suspended. Here

1076
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:36,440
Speaker 1: you go, all right, running back, here's your plan, go

1077
00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:39,319
Speaker 1: take care of it. All right, Let's get another question

1078
00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:42,640
Speaker 1: from Twitter. What do you think would be the biggest

1079
00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:48,600
Speaker 1: slash toughest matchup in this game if he plays, if

1080
00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:52,200
Speaker 1: he plays Julio against these dbs, what if he doesn't

1081
00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:57,360
Speaker 1: would be the next one? Sean Lee and Anthony Hitchins

1082
00:52:57,480 --> 00:53:01,200
Speaker 1: dealing with these running backs, both of them Coleman and Freeman.

1083
00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:04,239
Speaker 1: Which one do you worry about more? Or do you

1084
00:53:04,320 --> 00:53:06,040
Speaker 1: worry about either? Are they the same to you? You know,

1085
00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:07,520
Speaker 1: I think I was gonna say this yesterday and I

1086
00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:10,560
Speaker 1: got sidetracked. Like Freeman's kind of a smaller guy. He

1087
00:53:10,640 --> 00:53:12,800
Speaker 1: doesn't strike you as being this big power back, but

1088
00:53:12,920 --> 00:53:16,759
Speaker 1: like he is a load. Yeah, like he crushes people,

1089
00:53:16,880 --> 00:53:19,719
Speaker 1: So he does it minds me of Girly a little bit.

1090
00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:22,320
Speaker 1: Maybe not as fast, but yeah, he does remind me

1091
00:53:22,360 --> 00:53:24,759
Speaker 1: of that kind of style. I think he's underutilized as

1092
00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:26,640
Speaker 1: a receiver, like in fact that he's only got one

1093
00:53:26,719 --> 00:53:28,960
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty seven receiving herds as strange to me

1094
00:53:30,200 --> 00:53:33,640
Speaker 1: so Freeman, but Coleman's really good too. I think it's

1095
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:36,239
Speaker 1: they'll both be worth watching. And it seems like last

1096
00:53:36,320 --> 00:53:38,239
Speaker 1: year they use Coleman a little bit more catching out

1097
00:53:38,239 --> 00:53:39,960
Speaker 1: of the backfield. That's what he was, that was kind

1098
00:53:39,960 --> 00:53:41,799
Speaker 1: of his role. They still use him in that way

1099
00:53:41,840 --> 00:53:43,640
Speaker 1: this year, like it's nothing for him to have four

1100
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:46,200
Speaker 1: or five six catches in a game. But it seems

1101
00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:47,960
Speaker 1: like they're not doing quite as much as they were

1102
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:50,120
Speaker 1: doing it last season. So I think the matchup is

1103
00:53:50,200 --> 00:53:53,560
Speaker 1: going to be Matt Ryan. I know amber it talked

1104
00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:56,320
Speaker 1: about him against the Blitz. He's really good there. Like

1105
00:53:56,520 --> 00:53:58,840
Speaker 1: that's to me as a matchup, it's just that chess matchup,

1106
00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:01,480
Speaker 1: figuring out, Okay, here here, here comes you know, here

1107
00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:03,800
Speaker 1: comes pressure off the edge. I'm gonna get it to

1108
00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:07,520
Speaker 1: these you know, uh, these hot routes. I just think

1109
00:54:07,600 --> 00:54:10,520
Speaker 1: that that he's the guy, he's the guy to watch.

1110
00:54:10,600 --> 00:54:13,080
Speaker 1: Here's the he's the MVP. He's coming off a great year,

1111
00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:16,480
Speaker 1: he's not having a great performance. But I just feel like,

1112
00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:18,960
Speaker 1: I know I always say this a lot, but I

1113
00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:21,640
Speaker 1: just feel like a game like this, you know, they've

1114
00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:24,080
Speaker 1: been talking in Atlanta, what's wrong with our team? You

1115
00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:26,399
Speaker 1: know all week long, what's wrong with Hulio? What's wrong

1116
00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:29,279
Speaker 1: with the passing game? I've just seen it happen too

1117
00:54:29,360 --> 00:54:31,040
Speaker 1: many times that this is where it just kind of

1118
00:54:31,080 --> 00:54:35,320
Speaker 1: clicks here. It clicks here in early November, long season,

1119
00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:37,360
Speaker 1: but teams tend to do this as a season goes on.

1120
00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:41,759
Speaker 1: It's not about start. Yeah, all right, another question out

1121
00:54:41,800 --> 00:54:43,960
Speaker 1: of the running backs, who do you guys think will

1122
00:54:44,040 --> 00:54:49,920
Speaker 1: get the red sum touches out of the who I'm

1123
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:53,279
Speaker 1: just gonna defer towards Alfred, And I'm like, we have

1124
00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:55,480
Speaker 1: no idea what to expect. I mean, we haven't seen

1125
00:54:55,560 --> 00:54:58,520
Speaker 1: this team play running back without Zeke, not counting that

1126
00:54:58,680 --> 00:55:04,000
Speaker 1: stupid Philly game in years, So I assume Alfred's going

1127
00:55:04,040 --> 00:55:06,880
Speaker 1: to get the majority of the touches, But who the

1128
00:55:06,960 --> 00:55:10,279
Speaker 1: hell knows? Dak. There you go. It's actually good one.

1129
00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:12,200
Speaker 1: It's a good answer, really going. And I want to

1130
00:55:12,239 --> 00:55:14,040
Speaker 1: see him run a lot this weekend. And what I

1131
00:55:14,120 --> 00:55:16,160
Speaker 1: mean by a lot is I want five or six

1132
00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:18,719
Speaker 1: runs from him this week Can you wear like a

1133
00:55:19,640 --> 00:55:22,960
Speaker 1: like a back protector? You know, don't they don't? I

1134
00:55:23,080 --> 00:55:24,640
Speaker 1: thought they have like that little thing that comes from

1135
00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:26,440
Speaker 1: the shoulder pads in the back does he wear it

1136
00:55:26,600 --> 00:55:29,960
Speaker 1: that well? BA does? Okay, Dak needs to wear that

1137
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:35,040
Speaker 1: just and then Keith Smith just smash him right in

1138
00:55:35,120 --> 00:55:37,440
Speaker 1: the back and just on a quarterback sneak. There's no

1139
00:55:37,640 --> 00:55:42,080
Speaker 1: way that the Dak and Beef behind him just pushing

1140
00:55:42,160 --> 00:55:45,160
Speaker 1: him through. There's no no way anybody could stop that play.

1141
00:55:45,239 --> 00:55:48,279
Speaker 1: I'm assuming that's accurate. That's accurate. I mean fourth and one,

1142
00:55:48,520 --> 00:55:50,359
Speaker 1: fourth and goal from the one. You've got the best

1143
00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:54,480
Speaker 1: center in football, You've got probably the biggest quarterback, one

1144
00:55:54,520 --> 00:55:57,279
Speaker 1: of the biggest, most athletic quarterbacks in football, and then

1145
00:55:57,320 --> 00:56:00,719
Speaker 1: you've got a pretty nasty linebacker playing full back behind him.

1146
00:56:00,719 --> 00:56:03,480
Speaker 1: Those three guys powering in. Who's stopping that? You're preaching

1147
00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:05,400
Speaker 1: in the choir man, I know you know what worries

1148
00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:08,360
Speaker 1: me when he runs and it wouldn't necessarily be in

1149
00:56:08,440 --> 00:56:10,960
Speaker 1: the red zone because he's you know, scoring it touch him.

1150
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:13,040
Speaker 1: But I've seen it a couple of times that I'm like,

1151
00:56:13,080 --> 00:56:16,719
Speaker 1: oh my god, be careful. Is when he slides how

1152
00:56:16,920 --> 00:56:21,080
Speaker 1: his hand fall like touches the ground like his wrist.

1153
00:56:21,560 --> 00:56:23,600
Speaker 1: I always I've seen it a couple of times where

1154
00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:26,560
Speaker 1: I'm like, he'd better be really, really careful because you

1155
00:56:26,640 --> 00:56:31,040
Speaker 1: can really mess up your wrist, go jam it, it

1156
00:56:31,239 --> 00:56:34,839
Speaker 1: could happen. Yeah, I mean I've seen him fall down

1157
00:56:35,040 --> 00:56:37,880
Speaker 1: or like slide and sometimes it kind of looks like

1158
00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:41,480
Speaker 1: that could really happen. And if your wrist is messed up,

1159
00:56:41,520 --> 00:56:44,239
Speaker 1: then you can't really throw the ball. Yeah, if it's

1160
00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:50,439
Speaker 1: your right hand. Ran Leaf just banging his in Atlanta? Yeah,

1161
00:56:50,840 --> 00:56:53,120
Speaker 1: who are you? That could be that? That story time

1162
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:56,480
Speaker 1: right there. But all right, let's get to our crazy predictions,

1163
00:56:56,560 --> 00:56:58,520
Speaker 1: our predictions for the game. Let's start with you, Amber,

1164
00:56:58,520 --> 00:57:00,320
Speaker 1: What do you have? What are you thinking? Oh? No,

1165
00:57:00,600 --> 00:57:04,359
Speaker 1: not me. Um, I don't know. I really really don't

1166
00:57:04,400 --> 00:57:07,279
Speaker 1: know for this game. I have a feeling that the

1167
00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:12,400
Speaker 1: Cowboys could still win this game even with the possible

1168
00:57:13,040 --> 00:57:18,120
Speaker 1: two guys out maybe, um, but man, I just really

1169
00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:21,560
Speaker 1: don't know what to expect. I have no idea how

1170
00:57:21,720 --> 00:57:26,600
Speaker 1: they will look out there with those changes. So I'll

1171
00:57:26,640 --> 00:57:29,880
Speaker 1: just say Cowboys win. The score. Don't even ask me.

1172
00:57:30,040 --> 00:57:33,360
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. I don't know how

1173
00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:36,720
Speaker 1: many points they'll be able to score. But I have

1174
00:57:36,880 --> 00:57:43,360
Speaker 1: a confidence that we appreciate, appreciate your Cowboys win. I

1175
00:57:43,400 --> 00:57:46,240
Speaker 1: don't know how many points they'll score, but I have

1176
00:57:46,320 --> 00:57:49,160
Speaker 1: a feeling that Cowboys defense will do enough to stop

1177
00:57:49,240 --> 00:57:52,680
Speaker 1: the other teams with fifteen segments a week, right, I

1178
00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:54,840
Speaker 1: mean in the fifteenth one. At the end of the

1179
00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:57,360
Speaker 1: fifteenth one, it's like it catches you by this project.

1180
00:57:57,360 --> 00:57:58,960
Speaker 1: I don't know how many points. I don't don't ask

1181
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:00,920
Speaker 1: me how many points are gonna score. I don't even know. Well,

1182
00:58:00,960 --> 00:58:06,200
Speaker 1: everything changed for me this week, That's true. It's not

1183
00:58:06,280 --> 00:58:08,280
Speaker 1: like you could be preparing about it all week long. Dave,

1184
00:58:08,360 --> 00:58:11,480
Speaker 1: let's go. I just have a I have a weirdly

1185
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:13,800
Speaker 1: good feeling about this game. I had it. I mean

1186
00:58:13,880 --> 00:58:16,120
Speaker 1: I had it when Zeke was obviously in the lineup,

1187
00:58:16,160 --> 00:58:19,320
Speaker 1: and I still have it. I don't like Atlanta's just

1188
00:58:20,360 --> 00:58:22,160
Speaker 1: I think they're a mess. I don't know. I mean,

1189
00:58:22,200 --> 00:58:23,960
Speaker 1: I know they have talent. I know that it could

1190
00:58:23,960 --> 00:58:27,120
Speaker 1: click any week, but a team with that much talent

1191
00:58:27,160 --> 00:58:29,440
Speaker 1: shouldn't look as mediocre as they have and have as

1192
00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:31,440
Speaker 1: big of a problem scoring points. I mean, they scored

1193
00:58:31,440 --> 00:58:34,040
Speaker 1: a touchdown against New England, and New England's defense has

1194
00:58:34,080 --> 00:58:37,600
Speaker 1: been pretty bad this year, and just there's something there

1195
00:58:37,800 --> 00:58:41,280
Speaker 1: that's wrong that's more than just you know x's and

1196
00:58:41,360 --> 00:58:43,760
Speaker 1: knows um. I think the running game is gonna be fine.

1197
00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:45,000
Speaker 1: Like I said, I think they're going to run for

1198
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:46,800
Speaker 1: like one hundred and forty yards. I think Dak will

1199
00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:48,600
Speaker 1: chip in a few. I think Dak is going to

1200
00:58:48,680 --> 00:58:52,040
Speaker 1: continue to play well, and honestly, that's we barely talked

1201
00:58:52,040 --> 00:58:54,680
Speaker 1: about that. Like, I really think they'll be as good

1202
00:58:54,720 --> 00:58:56,600
Speaker 1: as Dak is over the next six games, and I

1203
00:58:56,680 --> 00:58:59,320
Speaker 1: think he's up to that challenge. Um, I think Chaz

1204
00:58:59,400 --> 00:59:02,439
Speaker 1: Green can handle that well enough. It's not gonna be great,

1205
00:59:02,480 --> 00:59:05,880
Speaker 1: but it'll be there. They probably don't score twenty eight

1206
00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:07,760
Speaker 1: points this week, Like, I think there will be some

1207
00:59:08,440 --> 00:59:11,800
Speaker 1: residual side effects of all these losses. But I think

1208
00:59:11,840 --> 00:59:14,000
Speaker 1: they can get Matt Ryan on the ground. I don't

1209
00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:17,000
Speaker 1: think they need to blitz him to do that, and

1210
00:59:17,160 --> 00:59:20,400
Speaker 1: I expect that they either win or are even in

1211
00:59:20,520 --> 00:59:25,000
Speaker 1: turnovers and I'm thinking like twenty four or twenty instead.

1212
00:59:25,040 --> 00:59:28,280
Speaker 1: I mean, it'll be it's gonna be in when Like,

1213
00:59:28,360 --> 00:59:30,520
Speaker 1: they haven't had a real nail biter finished since the

1214
00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:34,040
Speaker 1: since the Green Bay game. I mean, I guess Washington

1215
00:59:34,520 --> 00:59:36,800
Speaker 1: it never really got to like nail biter status because

1216
00:59:36,800 --> 00:59:38,840
Speaker 1: they got that pick right away on that drive. So

1217
00:59:39,960 --> 00:59:41,680
Speaker 1: I think this will be this one will be a

1218
00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:43,400
Speaker 1: nail biter, but I think they'll find a way to

1219
00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:48,600
Speaker 1: win it. All right, Nick, I'm gonna go with Atlanta.

1220
00:59:48,920 --> 00:59:51,920
Speaker 1: I think Atlanta wins twenty eight to twenty three. I

1221
00:59:52,080 --> 00:59:55,160
Speaker 1: think the kicker is gonna miss an extra point early

1222
00:59:55,240 --> 00:59:56,760
Speaker 1: in the game. I think they're gonna be chasing that

1223
00:59:56,880 --> 00:59:59,640
Speaker 1: dank point all game long. It's gonna haunt them. And

1224
01:00:00,200 --> 01:00:02,720
Speaker 1: I think the running game will be okay. But if

1225
01:00:02,800 --> 01:00:05,040
Speaker 1: they don't have Julio Jones, I think that changes everything.

1226
01:00:05,080 --> 01:00:07,480
Speaker 1: I don't like the Falcon's offense without Julio Jones, I do.

1227
01:00:07,840 --> 01:00:10,120
Speaker 1: I would pick the Cowboys if he doesn't play. I

1228
01:00:10,240 --> 01:00:12,080
Speaker 1: have a feeling he will play. I guess we'll find

1229
01:00:12,120 --> 01:00:13,720
Speaker 1: out about the injury report, but I'm gonna go with

1230
01:00:13,720 --> 01:00:16,040
Speaker 1: Atlanta twenty eight twenty three. I wish I could make

1231
01:00:16,120 --> 01:00:19,600
Speaker 1: three different predictions, like what happens. You're saying what happens,

1232
01:00:20,960 --> 01:00:24,960
Speaker 1: what happens, Here's here's my prediction. If if if Tyron's out,

1233
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:27,920
Speaker 1: here's my predicition. Prediction, if Julio is out, here's my prediction.

1234
01:00:27,960 --> 01:00:30,320
Speaker 1: If all of them play, don't you just do? But

1235
01:00:30,400 --> 01:00:32,040
Speaker 1: here's what I will cut The other two honestly, what

1236
01:00:32,120 --> 01:00:33,880
Speaker 1: I think. I think the Cowboys win, but I think

1237
01:00:33,880 --> 01:00:36,600
Speaker 1: it's a very very close game. Seventeen sixteen. I think

1238
01:00:36,680 --> 01:00:39,840
Speaker 1: this is a situation where I'm gonna still trust this defense,

1239
01:00:39,920 --> 01:00:42,280
Speaker 1: and what I've seen so far for these three weeks

1240
01:00:42,400 --> 01:00:44,640
Speaker 1: is that this defense is played really well. I'm gonna

1241
01:00:44,640 --> 01:00:46,160
Speaker 1: trust the fact that they're going to continue to play

1242
01:00:46,200 --> 01:00:48,360
Speaker 1: well against what was a what is, in my opinion,

1243
01:00:48,480 --> 01:00:51,800
Speaker 1: a lesser offense than what they beat last week. Um

1244
01:00:51,880 --> 01:00:53,440
Speaker 1: and I think that's going to be the difference. I

1245
01:00:53,480 --> 01:00:55,360
Speaker 1: think the offense will struggle. I think there'll be times

1246
01:00:55,480 --> 01:00:57,960
Speaker 1: this game when we'll say Man's Office just doesn't have it.

1247
01:00:58,160 --> 01:00:59,920
Speaker 1: I think because of the defense, they'll stay in the

1248
01:01:00,160 --> 01:01:02,200
Speaker 1: game and they'll have an opportunity at the end to win.

1249
01:01:02,240 --> 01:01:04,600
Speaker 1: At seventeen sixteen. Have you picked them to lose yet?

1250
01:01:05,160 --> 01:01:09,560
Speaker 1: I think I picked the opponent maybe Green Bay Bay?

1251
01:01:09,640 --> 01:01:12,120
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, I think I picked Green Bay, and

1252
01:01:12,160 --> 01:01:14,640
Speaker 1: then that game, I got my eye on you, Eagleton.

1253
01:01:14,880 --> 01:01:16,480
Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying. And I'm gonna tell you what,

1254
01:01:16,560 --> 01:01:18,440
Speaker 1: depending on how they things go this weekend, I've already

1255
01:01:18,440 --> 01:01:20,680
Speaker 1: circled next weekend is one where I'm I might be

1256
01:01:20,880 --> 01:01:24,480
Speaker 1: going the other ways because I just again, I just

1257
01:01:25,280 --> 01:01:26,680
Speaker 1: I try to give him the benefit of the doubt

1258
01:01:26,760 --> 01:01:29,400
Speaker 1: where possible. When not, it's one game at a time,

1259
01:01:29,640 --> 01:01:31,280
Speaker 1: one game at a time. Will you're five and three

1260
01:01:31,360 --> 01:01:33,520
Speaker 1: this year? No? No, he would be six and two

1261
01:01:33,560 --> 01:01:36,200
Speaker 1: because I picked the Packers, already picked the Packers. Oh no,

1262
01:01:36,240 --> 01:01:37,680
Speaker 1: i'd be six unto Yeah, i'd be six and two.

1263
01:01:37,960 --> 01:01:41,640
Speaker 1: I picked the Cowboys. You did, okay, guys? Sorry, all right,
