Speaker 1: The following Here's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys football clubs. Are you ready for
Speaker 1: a break? Yes? Are you ready for a break? Absolutely?
Speaker 1: Ready for a break? Yeah, and so much for that.
Speaker 1: It's time for The Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: wall with Nick Eatman, David Hellman, and bar Garcia and
Speaker 1: Derek Eagleton. It is Friday, November tenth, twenty seventeen, Season thirteen,
Speaker 1: episode number seventy three. Welcome to another edition of The Break.
Speaker 1: I am Derek Eagleton, and we're live from the s
Speaker 1: WBC Mortgage Studios at the start talking some Cowboys football,
Speaker 1: getting ready for Cowboys versus Falcons. Let's jump right in
Speaker 1: and get this thing rolling with some Zeke talk. I
Speaker 1: guess is this probably the last time we're gonna have
Speaker 1: Zeke Talk? No four weeks? No, well for four weeks.
Speaker 1: I mean it kind of no, because they'll file some
Speaker 1: motion or something something that we'll have to talk about.
Speaker 1: I don't know, no, no, no, Well, yeah, we had
Speaker 1: a special edition of Talking Cowboys Break yesterday. Nick and
Speaker 1: I were on it, so we had a chance to
Speaker 1: talk a little bit about what was coming out with
Speaker 1: the Zeke News. But since then, I think there's been
Speaker 1: some more clarity that's come to I know, we talked
Speaker 1: a little bit about what the results of the of
Speaker 1: the denied motion for the injunction, but it sounds like
Speaker 1: there's going to be an expedited process and that this
Speaker 1: case will be heard a lot sooner than I think
Speaker 1: any of us probably expected. Dy've catch us up on that.
Speaker 1: Do you know kind of the dates here that we're
Speaker 1: talking about and what happens after that? December the first,
Speaker 1: Although I was under the impression, isn't that just another repeal?
Speaker 1: Like that's not the actual case? Still, is it? Or
Speaker 1: is it not? I was nobody cares. I mean honestly,
Speaker 1: like all that stuff, nobody cares. When's he gonna play? Right, Okay,
Speaker 1: so tell me when's he gonna play? Not until December?
Speaker 1: Well we don't. He's not gonna have a hearing in
Speaker 1: court until December first, which and that's you're saying that's
Speaker 1: not the case. I don't think so. But I was
Speaker 1: on I was shooting a TV show when all this
Speaker 1: stuff happened yesterday, So I'm still playing catchup. I feel
Speaker 1: like a little bit. But he's got a hearing on
Speaker 1: December first, they're gonna consider the merits of this again,
Speaker 1: and it's theoretically possible that he could have the suspension overturned,
Speaker 1: but by that point there would only be two games
Speaker 1: left on it. As far as I understand it, there's
Speaker 1: nothing he can do between now and the first Like
Speaker 1: he's going to miss four games at least. What happens
Speaker 1: if he just shows up, puts on a uniform and
Speaker 1: runs on the field, he in the NFL would probably
Speaker 1: be drastically I mean, he and the Cowboys would probably
Speaker 1: be drastically fined or maybe lose draft picks. I don't know,
Speaker 1: but I don't think that. I don't think that would work. No,
Speaker 1: I don't think that's a good idea. So he's and
Speaker 1: then when he does have this hearing, everything I've heard
Speaker 1: is that it's like a just an infinitesimal percent chance
Speaker 1: that he wins anyway. So it's looking like he's going
Speaker 1: to serve the six games, which you know, it is
Speaker 1: what it is, which and I've been saying it all year,
Speaker 1: I still believe it. You got to fight it as
Speaker 1: hard as you possibly can. If you think you didn't
Speaker 1: do anything wrong, this is your reputation and your name
Speaker 1: and all that stuff, YadA YadA YadA. That said, now
Speaker 1: that it has come down and you have lost, I mean,
Speaker 1: the thought of continuing this and neither potentially missing playoff
Speaker 1: games or stretching part of this suspension into twenty eighteen
Speaker 1: doesn't make any sense to me at this point. It
Speaker 1: doesn't really matter. It doesn't sound like because at the
Speaker 1: at the very least, he is going to miss four games,
Speaker 1: which which is going to be at Atlanta then at
Speaker 1: home against Philly and the Chargers and watched it. That's
Speaker 1: going to happen. I get, and I guess. Basically, my
Speaker 1: point is you already lost in the sense that if
Speaker 1: you can keep from serving it at all, go for it.
Speaker 1: But you lost, you're going to serve the vast majority
Speaker 1: of this suspension. Honestly, you might as well just let
Speaker 1: it play out and not have it hangover yourself or
Speaker 1: this team anymore than it already has. You lose. I mean, basically,
Speaker 1: that's yeah. So I don't know if he's gonna do that.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying at this point, you couldn't keep it
Speaker 1: from happening, so why drag this into being a thing
Speaker 1: that goes on any longer than it has to. You know, Nick,
Speaker 1: talk to me about the roster spot. What happens with
Speaker 1: that roster spot at this point, now that he's officially suspended,
Speaker 1: he will be suspended for four games at the very least.
Speaker 1: What happens with this roster spot right now? They're gonna
Speaker 1: have to sign somebody doesn't have to be from the
Speaker 1: practice squad, but it probably should be since it's somebody
Speaker 1: that's been around. Also, something about that rule that with
Speaker 1: regards to the practice if you go into a week
Speaker 1: and this has been changed over the last year, I believe,
Speaker 1: but if you go into a week and with fifty
Speaker 1: two on the go into a game with fifty two
Speaker 1: on your roster, and you've got, of course a full
Speaker 1: practice squad, then if you do that, then then you
Speaker 1: have to release not only three players from your practice squad,
Speaker 1: but they have to be their longest tenured players on
Speaker 1: your practice squad. So it basically just don't do that.
Speaker 1: It forces seems to say, if you're gonna have a
Speaker 1: practice squad and you got a spot on your rosters
Speaker 1: as you could save cat money that way all day
Speaker 1: long and just say all right, well you're going to
Speaker 1: be inactive anyway. So instead of bringing up a you know,
Speaker 1: Marquez White or whoever, Kellen Moore, they have to leave
Speaker 1: him off the team for three weeks, two weeks yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: So so they're definitely gonna bring somebody up, and they
Speaker 1: will definitely put somebody onto. Yeah, may would be this
Speaker 1: defensive tackle that they brought up. Volano. Seems like it
Speaker 1: makes sense. He could probably play knows for you if
Speaker 1: you needed him too. But I would imagine though it's
Speaker 1: probably going to be a guy inactive. I would think
Speaker 1: if they brought us, if they brought up Volano, they
Speaker 1: could make Lewis Neil in active because Volano is more
Speaker 1: of a one technique. Yeah, it kind of depends. I
Speaker 1: mean that's what they need. He's been here for all
Speaker 1: of three days though, So Marks White, you need a dB.
Speaker 1: I mean I don't know. I'm just you know, if
Speaker 1: it's you, don't you might not need anybody right now?
Speaker 1: What about right? So the thing that's Brian Brown, I mean,
Speaker 1: if you doesn't play, I would argue that you have
Speaker 1: a receiver and no one. Yeah. The thing I think
Speaker 1: of is Tyrn is dealing with injuries, and Chaz Green
Speaker 1: has an injury history of his own. So I mean,
Speaker 1: you could bring up Kadeem Edwards if you wanted to,
Speaker 1: but it doesn't seem like there's a drastic need anywhere
Speaker 1: to where you're like, yep, that's what they're gonna do,
Speaker 1: Like it's I don't know, it's six and one half
Speaker 1: a dozen of the other. Well, we are certainly, by
Speaker 1: the end of this show going to get some predictions
Speaker 1: from you guys. I know we've talked about this throughout
Speaker 1: the week in what your your comfort level was, but
Speaker 1: for this particular game, by the end of this show
Speaker 1: would definitely do our predictions and we'll see what you
Speaker 1: guys think about your about whether your thoughts on whether
Speaker 1: the Cowboys can win this weekend or will win this weekend.
Speaker 1: I should say changes now that Ezekiel Elott will not
Speaker 1: be playing for sure this weekend and for the foreseeable future.
Speaker 1: All Right, so let's talk Let's move on. Le's talk
Speaker 1: a little bit about injuries. Yesterday, there were two notable
Speaker 1: names that did not practice, Dez Bryant Tyron Smith. What
Speaker 1: do we know about those two at this pointing it
Speaker 1: in their possibilities of being able to play this weekend? Well,
Speaker 1: Dez talked in the locker room yesterday and basically said,
Speaker 1: if it's up to him, he's gonna play. It's not
Speaker 1: up to him though, so that's something worth keeping in mind.
Speaker 1: But he was out there warming up. He didn't do anything.
Speaker 1: He did not do anything practice related. He left the
Speaker 1: field after about six minutes. I think, um, but I
Speaker 1: I just kind of I have this feeling like he's
Speaker 1: gonna gear up and do his best to get through
Speaker 1: this and probably play. I don't have a good read
Speaker 1: on Tyron, but if I had to guess, I don't
Speaker 1: think he's gonna play without Tyren Smith. Amber, are you
Speaker 1: even more concerned without Zeke and now Tyron Smith? And
Speaker 1: people have been attacking me like I'm I don't know.
Speaker 1: How can you not be worried? People are attacking you
Speaker 1: for thinking it's bad to not Tyrant and it makes
Speaker 1: it makes absolute only no sense. I mean, how is
Speaker 1: that dumb? How can you not be concerned with the
Speaker 1: team losing those two guys at the same time? I
Speaker 1: am one, and that changes my whole perspective of how
Speaker 1: this game is gonna turn out. I know we're gonna
Speaker 1: get into that later on, but I was feeling pretty
Speaker 1: confident with the Cowboys beating the Falcons, But now I
Speaker 1: don't really feel as confident. Ironically, you got four guys
Speaker 1: I think on this team that you could make an
Speaker 1: argument that are your most valuable players, and presumably you
Speaker 1: know one's gonna be gone, Presumably two could be gone,
Speaker 1: and there's a possibility three. Well, if you want to
Speaker 1: put Dez in that category, De's probably fifth in my opinion,
Speaker 1: Who are you talking about, Sean Lee, Dak Prescott? If
Speaker 1: you're talking about most valuable players. We talked about the
Speaker 1: earlier this week, and I think we all agreed that
Speaker 1: those were kind of your most valuable players, right, I
Speaker 1: think you're talking d Prescot, hurt, you know what I'm saying. Overall,
Speaker 1: looking at your team, you got Dak Prescott, you got
Speaker 1: Sean Lee, Tyren Smith, and ezeicularly are probably the four
Speaker 1: guys in no particular order, that you would say are
Speaker 1: the most necessary players on this team. And right now
Speaker 1: you know one for certain will be out this week.
Speaker 1: You think a second when Tyron Smith will be out,
Speaker 1: and if you want to extend that out to the
Speaker 1: fifth player, maybe Dez is your fifth player. Possibly he
Speaker 1: would be out this game. It's a lot of very
Speaker 1: important players that will be mad. I look at it
Speaker 1: from just straight talent, you' just your most talented player
Speaker 1: is out, I think, And then you know, Tyron Smith
Speaker 1: is probably your next best and he's probably gonna be out.
Speaker 1: And then from it's just this talent standpoint, I think
Speaker 1: des Bryant's right there and he could be out. So
Speaker 1: I have a question for you guys. I got people
Speaker 1: on Twitter some kind of trying to make the argument, Oh, well,
Speaker 1: you have Chas Green and he's not a bad player.
Speaker 1: The only issue he has is, you know, injury wise
Speaker 1: and staying healthy. Are you guys feeling confident enough with
Speaker 1: Chas Green in case Tyron does not play, Do you
Speaker 1: guys feel that the whole line will be just okay,
Speaker 1: be fine with Chas Two different things. Yeah, it is.
Speaker 1: I think it could be okay. Yeah, I think that
Speaker 1: ain't gonna be very good. I don't think, I mean,
Speaker 1: can't trust Chads Green. He hasn't shown any reason to
Speaker 1: trust him for you know, as a player in the
Speaker 1: last couple of years. So to replace Tyron Smith, that's
Speaker 1: gonna be tough. And then you're gonna be trying to
Speaker 1: grind out yards with Alfred Morris and Rod Smith and
Speaker 1: McFadden for one game. For one game, I think I
Speaker 1: think they can be fine. Chad. I mean, Chads played
Speaker 1: two games last year and was pretty good. It won't
Speaker 1: be tyrant, but I think they can be fine. It's
Speaker 1: really if we're getting into a scenario where you're talking
Speaker 1: about Chad's replacing Tyrn for a month, that's where I
Speaker 1: get worried. Like if it's for three hours on Sunday,
Speaker 1: I really, yeah, I think he can be fine. Here's
Speaker 1: the only thing about four games though. If he was
Speaker 1: doing that and he had a more experienced guard playing
Speaker 1: beside him, then I would agree with you. I think
Speaker 1: where you're starting to get into the area that concerns
Speaker 1: me is you're now talking about Jonathan Cooper, who I
Speaker 1: think has been fine, but he's been fine in the
Speaker 1: context of Tyren Smith and Travis Frederick being on either
Speaker 1: side of him. Yep, Now you're changing it up and
Speaker 1: it's Chaz Green and Jonathan Cooper on the left side.
Speaker 1: That worries me. That worries me a lot. One of
Speaker 1: the like, this is one of those situations where like
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, like and I don't know if
Speaker 1: he's gonna be able to get on the field on Sunday,
Speaker 1: But like Tyron Smith just kind of has to find
Speaker 1: a way like that. I mean, hope, so you're well,
Speaker 1: like you're just you're into the grind of the season.
Speaker 1: You see guys do that all the time. I mean,
Speaker 1: like we talked to Marcus Lawrence put off season ending
Speaker 1: surgery and wasn't as good as a player for two
Speaker 1: years because of it, but he gutted through it and
Speaker 1: did what he could. And like, I mean, if the
Speaker 1: Cowboys are going to accomplish their goals, it sucks to
Speaker 1: say because injuries are terrible. I can't imagine like trying
Speaker 1: to do that job when I wasn't feeling one hundred,
Speaker 1: Like my lower back hurts, and I'm a writer and
Speaker 1: I'm in like this sucks. I can't imagine being a
Speaker 1: football player, you know, but you gotta do crap like that.
Speaker 1: And if he I mean, I don't he might have
Speaker 1: to miss a game, but like Tyron Smith is just
Speaker 1: gonna have to find a way to not let this
Speaker 1: take him out for too long of a period of time.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just amazing when you think about this
Speaker 1: and then Jason Witten in fifteen years, Yeah, it's never
Speaker 1: had anything. I mean he has had things like that,
Speaker 1: but like, why doesn't he miss games? Like what what
Speaker 1: does it when you're looking at Tyron Smith and Ordaz
Speaker 1: and his knee and you're like, m shut him down. Now,
Speaker 1: not gonna happen. But yet Jason Witten has never had
Speaker 1: that moment. I don't believe it. It just makes it
Speaker 1: just just weird of why why it's never happened with
Speaker 1: Witten and it happens with other guys. And they need
Speaker 1: Tyren Smith big time in this game, and I feel
Speaker 1: like they're gonna look at and go now it's not good.
Speaker 1: And not only that, but I think you have to
Speaker 1: consider the fact. I mean you guys saw the game.
Speaker 1: I assume he saw the game last night. With Richard Sherman,
Speaker 1: I've been battling Achilles problems all week and he was like,
Speaker 1: it's not right. Something right, And then what happens. Now
Speaker 1: it's ruptured and he's gone for the season. Not to
Speaker 1: say that this is the same injury with It's not
Speaker 1: even close Achilles versus growing. But my point is sometimes
Speaker 1: when when a player pushes it and when sometimes when
Speaker 1: a player plays, even when he has an injury, and
Speaker 1: even when he knows something's not right, there is always
Speaker 1: the potential that it turns into something much bigger. Right, God,
Speaker 1: that's not here, I know. I'm just talking about a
Speaker 1: player that was banged up all week and then had
Speaker 1: a season ending injury. With the same injury having to
Speaker 1: deal with that. The trainers we've got Thursday night football
Speaker 1: is such a clone. Well did you notice that when
Speaker 1: he got hurt and once they got him up to
Speaker 1: walk off the field, like the guy was, well, the
Speaker 1: guy was. I assume it was their trainer or doctor
Speaker 1: or someone. He kind of pushed the dude and it
Speaker 1: made me wonder like his he was he upset that
Speaker 1: you know, this guy has been talking to him all
Speaker 1: week and he knew this was coming, and he still
Speaker 1: played or whatever, but he was visibly upset and pushed
Speaker 1: that guy out of the way, like get away from me,
Speaker 1: you know. And it's I don't know, that's a tough
Speaker 1: situation because I bet any amount of money he was
Speaker 1: just as much like one. I'm sure it wasn't like
Speaker 1: somebody was pushing him to play. These guys want to play, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's the player. It's never it's the train. But any
Speaker 1: given Sunday where they just go out and say you're
Speaker 1: gonna play, right, that doesn't happen. And it sounds like,
Speaker 1: at least from what Dez was talking about, like he
Speaker 1: knows I still I might want to play, but at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, it's gonna be somebody else's costs,
Speaker 1: whether medically I can or cannot keep repeating that over
Speaker 1: right where he's like, it's not my decisions, sor right,
Speaker 1: it's not. These games aren't needed. They're just not Thursday
Speaker 1: and night games. They think that they're needed, you know,
Speaker 1: because they want to just dominate the market. But I
Speaker 1: just it's not good. It's everything that they say about
Speaker 1: health and trying to protect players and then to throw
Speaker 1: them out there on a Thursday night. It's not Here's
Speaker 1: the one thing I will say, though, I saw I
Speaker 1: saw a graphic this morning that said that if they
Speaker 1: take away the Thursday Night package, amount of money they
Speaker 1: make on the Thursday Night Package every team will now
Speaker 1: be The salary cap for every team will now go down.
Speaker 1: I think it was seven point two or seven millions
Speaker 1: somewhere in there, and on average, that means one hundred
Speaker 1: and thirty something thousand dollars per player, that it goes down,
Speaker 1: everybody willing to give up that money? That's the question.
Speaker 1: Now the guys that are highly paid, maybe so, But
Speaker 1: is everybody willing to accept the fact that now the
Speaker 1: salary cap is gonna go down, which means that the
Speaker 1: mouth that they're gonna be able to pay their players
Speaker 1: now goes down by seven million per team. That's their
Speaker 1: thing to figure out, right, Yeah, I mean, it doesn't
Speaker 1: have to be that way. It's just the way that
Speaker 1: it's just the way that it is. It's the way
Speaker 1: that they because of the Sunday Night or the Thursday
Speaker 1: night package that they've Okay, well, so nothing's gonna happen overnight.
Speaker 1: It's gonna happen in the new CBA. So just overcompensate
Speaker 1: or whatever and fix it and where you're not gonna
Speaker 1: lose as much money. But I mean, that's that's all about,
Speaker 1: like the revenue. Whatever the revenue is they're going to
Speaker 1: get from finance and get more from CBS. And I
Speaker 1: mean that I'm just saying, I mean, you can they
Speaker 1: can figure that out. They don't have to play games
Speaker 1: on Thursday. I don't know. All I'm saying is there
Speaker 1: is a money component to this that I think everybody
Speaker 1: has to be aware of because it affects the players
Speaker 1: as well. And the players have to be aware of
Speaker 1: that too. If they're pushing to say and they may
Speaker 1: still say, hey, it's worth its us to not have
Speaker 1: Thursday games and give up that revenue. I'm just saying
Speaker 1: that's a part of the equation here is the amount
Speaker 1: of money that they would be giving up. You know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, let's move on, Let's get some let's real
Speaker 1: quick before we get to our first break. Let's see
Speaker 1: if we can figure out inactives. It seems pretty straightforward.
Speaker 1: I'll throw out some names. You guys tell me if
Speaker 1: we're on the right track here. Dan Bailey, the assumption
Speaker 1: would be at either Tyrn Smith or Byron Bell will
Speaker 1: be inactive. Ben Abanwickery that's three. Justin Durant that's four,
Speaker 1: Blake Jarwin is five. And then you're looking at a
Speaker 1: situation where, assuming that they're gonna have to bring somebody
Speaker 1: up for execul Elliott Spot, my assumption would be whoever
Speaker 1: that is probably is going to be an active at
Speaker 1: least this week. That makes six. And then you're looking
Speaker 1: at either say a Lewis Neil or possibly Noah Brown
Speaker 1: as your seventh player. Who do you guys think rounds out?
Speaker 1: That be Noah Brown? So you think you think Daz
Speaker 1: is just a lock? No? I mean I guess I
Speaker 1: should have said Noah Brown or as Bryant. Okay, if
Speaker 1: Dez is playing, then you might feel like you need
Speaker 1: that seep in him anyways, because I mean, I know
Speaker 1: Terrence Williams hopped off the field, you know, last week too,
Speaker 1: and he hasn't been on the injury report, but still
Speaker 1: with him and Dez, I think I want no, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think you can win all six receivers up for this.
Speaker 1: So you think Lewis Neil then becomes your seventh guy? Um,
Speaker 1: that was pretty good. I would throw out Justin Justin
Speaker 1: March Shillillard as a possibility and McFadden. You can't do that,
Speaker 1: do that? Would you go into this game with just
Speaker 1: two running backs? I mean no, probably not, But I
Speaker 1: mean doesn't sound like he's gonna play anyways. What about
Speaker 1: your boy? What about your boobe? I think he's playing?
Speaker 1: Do you think so? I think I think it's a
Speaker 1: lock that he's going to be active this week personally, Okay,
Speaker 1: whether he plays a lot on defense, I don't know that.
Speaker 1: I think they'll probably work him in on special teams.
Speaker 1: I think he'll get some opportunities to play on defense.
Speaker 1: I think, look at it, probably he has a lot
Speaker 1: to do with the other injuries this team's facing. But
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a lock by any stretch. Well,
Speaker 1: I'll say this, if he's not, do you think been
Speaker 1: A been Wickery then is active? So it's really just
Speaker 1: one spot anyway, Yeah, probably no, Yeah, I'd be surprised
Speaker 1: if they sat two or dbs whatever you want to say. So,
Speaker 1: but justin marsh Lillard is another guy that's I didn't
Speaker 1: even think about him. Um and then yeah, probably Lewis
Speaker 1: Neil if they need to just depend. It really depends
Speaker 1: on what happens with Tyrann and Dez, I think, because
Speaker 1: if if both of those guys sit, then that's two
Speaker 1: of the seven that are accounted for by guys you
Speaker 1: weren't expecting to have to sit. So because they don't
Speaker 1: have Price obviously this week, so they've been going into
Speaker 1: games with Price and MALIEK. Collins and David Irving as
Speaker 1: you're three, so and Ash. Ash forgot about Ash, So
Speaker 1: then you don't have Price. Then you you could go
Speaker 1: three and just stick with Ash, or you could bring
Speaker 1: make Neil Academs. Well I got made. We need to
Speaker 1: make Lawrence Taku. Yeah, I think you need one of
Speaker 1: those guys. Yeah, I mean, I mean I think Lewis
Speaker 1: Neil is gonna be active. Yeah, so yeah, maybe not
Speaker 1: the linebacker. You know, I think I think Atlanta. I
Speaker 1: don't know. The Atlanta is tough to because of you know,
Speaker 1: we talked about this running back by committee, but he
Speaker 1: listened to Rod Marinelli yesterday. He was saying that, you know,
Speaker 1: these guys are about as good as as it gets
Speaker 1: when it comes to like a one two punch because
Speaker 1: of what the Falcons do with Um Freeman and then
Speaker 1: Tevin Coleman, so both tough to bring down. That being said,
Speaker 1: I think you'd have to go. I think you're gonna
Speaker 1: have to go with a lot of bass defense. Though
Speaker 1: in this game, I mean that they will spread them around,
Speaker 1: but I still think that they're gonna have to play
Speaker 1: bass defense a lot. So I don't know if you
Speaker 1: want to go to Finland at linebacker. Well, as Dave
Speaker 1: was saying earlier this week. You know, they run a
Speaker 1: lot of their twelfth personnel, and it's not I think
Speaker 1: last year it seemed, at least from the games I saw,
Speaker 1: it seemed like they were more of an eleven personnel
Speaker 1: team last year. But I don't think that's doesn't sound
Speaker 1: like that's what they're doing mostly this year. They are
Speaker 1: an eleven personnel team that for some reason wants to play.
Speaker 1: It's kind of like what the Cowboys did a few
Speaker 1: years ago with Gavin Eskpar like, oh, this doesn't really
Speaker 1: make sense, but the Patriots we got them, so let's
Speaker 1: do it. Patriots do it, so we'll do it too.
Speaker 1: Be great? Yeah, maybe, well doing it again right now
Speaker 1: with Ryan Switzer. Maybe I think twenty eight three might
Speaker 1: have made them want to be more like the Patriots.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. It's one. I just
Speaker 1: maybe the Falcons aggravate me because I just don't think
Speaker 1: they're playing efficiently. Oh well, all right, let's take our
Speaker 1: first break. When we come back. We are going to
Speaker 1: play a little game of c on no and that'll
Speaker 1: get you guys ready for this upcoming game. We'll do
Speaker 1: it when we come right back. This is Dallas Cowboys

Speaker 1: is the second segment of the Great Live from the
Speaker 1: SWBC Mortgage Studios at the Star. Time for a little
Speaker 1: c oh no, Amber, let's go, Will the Cowboys running
Speaker 1: backs come bine for for one hundred yards rushing against
Speaker 1: the combine combine see see comb over one hundred yards. Um,
Speaker 1: see just the running backs though, right we're not talking
Speaker 1: about the quarterback being added into that. Running backs. See, Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're gonna they're gonna do it. They're gonna do it. Man, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're gonna see. You're convinced that Rod Smith gang right here.
Speaker 1: Thirty eight on the bandwagon. Now forty five thirty eight
Speaker 1: plus thirty plus forty is over one hundred. Not exciting,
Speaker 1: but no, and it's not gonna have anybody talking on Monday.
Speaker 1: But I think I said in my column eighty seven,
Speaker 1: like eighty seven, forty five and seventeen or something like that.
Speaker 1: Like I think they're gonna run for like one hundred
Speaker 1: and forty yards. Dang, what is a quarterback going to
Speaker 1: lead them in rushing? Alfred Alfred Morris is gonna lead
Speaker 1: them in rushing? Back? Will throw some into though. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm fattening on a seventeen h It's nice carry all right?
Speaker 1: With Zeke being out, well, the Cowboys really need to
Speaker 1: rely on the defense in order to win the next games.
Speaker 1: See no, no, I don't have to rely on the defense.
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean they can't. They can't rely on
Speaker 1: the deal. I will tell you this, if, if, if
Speaker 1: the defense doesn't play as well as it's been playing
Speaker 1: the last three weeks, they will not win the next
Speaker 1: two games. But maybe they're playing well because of Zeke.
Speaker 1: That's my point. So now we're about to find out
Speaker 1: are they good enough to play without Zeke in the
Speaker 1: way that they've played the last three weeks. If they
Speaker 1: are not, I don't think it will be enough to
Speaker 1: beat these two teams they have coming up in the
Speaker 1: next two weeks. I guess my point is, just like
Speaker 1: you're you're not You're not going to win these games.
Speaker 1: If your offense isn't scoring twenty four or more. I
Speaker 1: really against the team that's not giving up very many.
Speaker 1: What they I think the most of giving up twenty
Speaker 1: six is that we say yesterday and twenty one's the average,
Speaker 1: seven and seventeen is the average over the last month.
Speaker 1: But you're saying they're not gonna win. No, that's not
Speaker 1: what I'm saying at all. I'm just saying the offense
Speaker 1: needs to be playing well and the defense. The defense
Speaker 1: has to play as well as it has the last
Speaker 1: two weeks. But like I'm trying to tell you that,
Speaker 1: I don't think the Cowboys are gonna win like a
Speaker 1: twelve to ten slug fest. That's not what they've been
Speaker 1: the last three weeks when they've played really well. I
Speaker 1: know that, and that's my point. But yeah, if the
Speaker 1: offense goes if if the offense goes in the tank
Speaker 1: and they're not humming the way that they have been,
Speaker 1: it won't matter how well the defense is playing. That's
Speaker 1: really what I'm trying to say. I get you, and
Speaker 1: I and I agree with that. I guess what I'm
Speaker 1: saying is I think I agree with your first point
Speaker 1: that I still think the offense can move. I don't
Speaker 1: think it'll be as explosive, but I think it still
Speaker 1: can move. So I think they'll still score some points,
Speaker 1: maybe not get into the thirties, but I do think
Speaker 1: they'll get it into the load of mid twenties. And
Speaker 1: that's why I say this defense is going to have
Speaker 1: to be as good as it's been the last three
Speaker 1: weeks in order for that to be enough, because I
Speaker 1: don't think I think the offense takes a step back
Speaker 1: and the defense is going to have to make up
Speaker 1: that difference and whole teams under under that you know,
Speaker 1: somewhere in that upper teams low twenties in order to win.
Speaker 1: And that's tough. That's a tough thing to ask against
Speaker 1: Atlanta if they're clicking that day, and certainly against Philadelphia.
Speaker 1: To the Philadelphia the question is is the question was
Speaker 1: are they going to rely on the defense? So against
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, did they rely on the defense or did
Speaker 1: they rely on the offense? They relied on the offense, right, Okay,
Speaker 1: that's right, and they always haven't always will right, So
Speaker 1: that's I'm just we just answered the question, and that's
Speaker 1: relying on the offense. With Zeke Zeke's out of the picture.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that, like the formula doesn't change, You're
Speaker 1: not you're not winning games leaning on the defense, like
Speaker 1: going into a game like all right, let's just let's
Speaker 1: get seven points on the board and the defense will
Speaker 1: do the rest. Like that ain't happening. So agree, How
Speaker 1: does it happen with Alabama? All right, Nugent, how's a
Speaker 1: perfect game? No? No, it doesn't miss anything. Now he's
Speaker 1: gonna miss an extra point. That's fine. That's actually got
Speaker 1: my crazy prediction. I think you'll have a perfect game.
Speaker 1: He's been what has he not been perfect? Since he's
Speaker 1: been here? He hasn't? Has he missed? He missed? He'll
Speaker 1: go he has forty nine all I'm sorry, I agree,
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not disagreeing. What I'm saying is I
Speaker 1: think for what, for what he's been asked to do,
Speaker 1: he's been he's been really, really good. So nah, I disagree.
Speaker 1: I don't think you hit the upright on a on
Speaker 1: an extra point. I think that's it counts. It counts,
Speaker 1: but it doesn't mean that you're that you're perfect, and
Speaker 1: and it definitely means that you're only about ten inches
Speaker 1: away from from missing an extra points he makes it
Speaker 1: in and Dan kicked up right before too. We call
Speaker 1: him a good kicker, so it happens. I think he
Speaker 1: goes too for two on the day, So yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: statistically he'll be perfect, but like he's he's far from
Speaker 1: a perfect kicker, you know what I mean? Yeah? But yeah, right, okay,
Speaker 1: Taco guess his seconds? No? No, no, no, come on, man,
Speaker 1: what No? You don't think he's on a roll now? Nope?
Speaker 1: Pretty I wish they were like, hi, this week. No
Speaker 1: is the same in all the romance languages or else,
Speaker 1: I would say, like, I can't say no other way. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's no other weeks? No? Yeah, there you go yet Russian?
Speaker 1: See I like it? Yeah? Hell no? Is that from
Speaker 1: from Star Wars? That Madagascar? All right? Will the Cowboys
Speaker 1: get a holding penalty call in their favor? No? Have
Speaker 1: they had one all season? In the last Body tell
Speaker 1: me they haven't done it a long time. I don't know.
Speaker 1: There's something floating around the internet like they haven't been
Speaker 1: the beneficiary of a holding call in like six weeks
Speaker 1: or something like that, which is it's like it's an
Speaker 1: abnormality of crazy. Just think about it. Like it probably
Speaker 1: happens every place. So the fact that it's not been
Speaker 1: called in six games, it's pretty It's almost like there's
Speaker 1: a conspiracy by the NFL saying how boys. I'm just saying, uh,
Speaker 1: it did bench their best player for six games. M
Speaker 1: maybe there is a conspiracy against the Oh Zeke, I
Speaker 1: was thinking, Oh, there definitely is a conspiracy. Well, who
Speaker 1: doesn't know they against the Cowboys? Like that's known, Like
Speaker 1: we know that, right, Why would anybody conspire against the
Speaker 1: league's most visible and successful team? Like if anybody will
Speaker 1: point makes well because maybe their owners trying to fire
Speaker 1: the boss an hour into No, here's the question, who's
Speaker 1: the boss? That's the problem. Who's the boss here? All right?
Speaker 1: Scan Drake and Brown will hold Julio to under one
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty five and twenty five yards? Is Julio
Speaker 1: even gonna play? I think that might be That is
Speaker 1: actually a good question forget Zeke. That might be the
Speaker 1: biggest variable in this whole thing, because I think they're
Speaker 1: gonna be able to run the ball. And the only
Speaker 1: thing that really terrifies me about the Falcons is that
Speaker 1: big guy just streaking open downfield and if he's out
Speaker 1: at changes a lot, It changes everything, Taylor Gabriel. Now
Speaker 1: we're he's scaremy. Now we're even if Zeke's not there
Speaker 1: and Julio's not there. Now you're even to quote Nick
Speaker 1: he's gonna play, well, I mean, well he'll play. They
Speaker 1: always play against the Cowboys. Just that's what him up.
Speaker 1: That's just give him some tour at all. I think
Speaker 1: he'll play, though, and you're gonna mock me, and then
Speaker 1: you're gonna say, are you rid? Nick? I don't know.
Speaker 1: You said over one hundred and thirty one thirty five,
Speaker 1: I bet he'll have one twenty or something like that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like he's gonna have a So was it? Was it
Speaker 1: c or not? Like I'm trying to figre out where
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to be. The question was will he go
Speaker 1: over one hundred and thirty five? Him? Hold him under? No? Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's gonna if he plays a good day. If he plays,
Speaker 1: I think he'll have a good day. That doesn't mean
Speaker 1: they win, because you know, if he doesn't play, then
Speaker 1: there there's under and then you don't think he doesn't play.
Speaker 1: If he doesn't play, and then you know you have
Speaker 1: that working for you. And then if he does play,
Speaker 1: he's probably gonna be hobbled around a little bit. So
Speaker 1: I don't know. One hundred and twenty yards one hundred
Speaker 1: thirty five Larry Fitz put up when sixty and they
Speaker 1: still won that game by eleven points. So, but I
Speaker 1: don't know that's because they didn't have any running backs. True. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we also know Atlanta will go away from their running
Speaker 1: backs even when their running backs are successful. Right, So
Speaker 1: it's true they may take their running away into the game. Yes,
Speaker 1: think about their numbers. This year might happen. They did
Speaker 1: it in Super Bowl too. Yeah, good point. When they're
Speaker 1: up by twenty eight day for the Seahawks, all those
Speaker 1: guys are hurt. Wow, Cam Chancellor, Richard Sherman, Dwayne Brown,
Speaker 1: He's got Dwayne Brown, Frank Clark, c J. Prosie. It's
Speaker 1: a game of attrition, man, It's a game of attrition.
Speaker 1: Have you guys ever seen and I saw this. I
Speaker 1: saw this. I'm sorry it's jack the game. But have
Speaker 1: you guys seen that? There was a somebody put on Twitter.
Speaker 1: They put the list of all the big name players
Speaker 1: that have been hurt the season or out for the year.
Speaker 1: I don't know that I've seen a season like that,
Speaker 1: Like in the time I've watched football, if you do,
Speaker 1: you guys remember a season where it just seemed like
Speaker 1: that many stars were lost for the year. I think
Speaker 1: of two who who's been out? Beckham Rodgers is out,
Speaker 1: Beckham is out? What what DeShawn Watson, Watson? Uh now
Speaker 1: Richard Sherman, who's maybe the most second most visible defender
Speaker 1: in the league behind what probably right, um, there's more
Speaker 1: though there are. The list was like it was a
Speaker 1: list of probably fifteen names, and it was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a star, Yep, that's a star, and it was
Speaker 1: there was significant players. I mean, these are big name
Speaker 1: players that are that are out for the season. It
Speaker 1: seemed I mean it happens every year, like huge players
Speaker 1: go out every year, but it definitely, I mean, this
Speaker 1: seems worse than ever before. And I mean it's like,
Speaker 1: like I wrote about it on my column last night,
Speaker 1: like between Rogers, Watt and Beckham and and I would
Speaker 1: like even after seven games, I'd throw DeShawn Watson in
Speaker 1: there too. Like those are guys where you're like, wait,
Speaker 1: he's playing, let me get the remote, Like I don't
Speaker 1: want to that guy. And now though they're not playing
Speaker 1: even a guy like like like Dalvin Cook who has
Speaker 1: such a great start to the season and then he's
Speaker 1: out for the year. I mean, if you can get
Speaker 1: to that next layer of players like he's like a
Speaker 1: lot of guys, rozeke in there. He's not hurt, but
Speaker 1: he's one of the most exciting running backs in the game,
Speaker 1: and he's out for six weeks. So it's been this
Speaker 1: season has kind of sucked. It's been weird. It's been
Speaker 1: a really weird year. Well, the Cowboys defense will have
Speaker 1: another good game. See, I think they're gonna win. So
Speaker 1: by that, man, I mean they'll I think they'll have
Speaker 1: more points than the opponent when it's over. So I guess, see,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I don't think they're gonna
Speaker 1: dominate by any stretch, but I think they'll play well.
Speaker 1: I'll say, I say see honestly, I mean, I don't
Speaker 1: know about Julio. I've changes everything. I believe in this
Speaker 1: defense now. I mean I was waiting to see what
Speaker 1: they would do against Kansas City. After what they did
Speaker 1: against Kansas City, I believe that this is a good defense.
Speaker 1: What I want to see is if they're good enough
Speaker 1: to be like that without Zeke being on the opposite
Speaker 1: side of the ball. Now they can show me that,
Speaker 1: then I'm really a believer that this is a legit defense.
Speaker 1: They've built something here and now you just keep adding
Speaker 1: pieces to it. But but I'm starting to be a
Speaker 1: believer that this defense can be really good. I'm not
Speaker 1: and I'm not trying to move the goalpost like I
Speaker 1: don't want to be the guy that's like, well, this
Speaker 1: is the real test. I know they passed that one,
Speaker 1: but you know it's an MVP caliber quarterback with a
Speaker 1: lot of weapons. On the road. It's indoors, so you
Speaker 1: know the weather it will be good. So, like I said,
Speaker 1: I believe that they can get sacks and I believe
Speaker 1: that they can get takeaway as because they've been doing it.
Speaker 1: So it's not so much that I don't believe, but
Speaker 1: I just think this will be a very challenging game
Speaker 1: for that all those factors. So if they do it
Speaker 1: against Matt Ryan in this environment, that would be a statement,
Speaker 1: really a strong statement. Let's go backwards two weeks ago.
Speaker 1: If you guys were looking at these two teams, the
Speaker 1: Cowboys were gonna have to face in Kansas City and Atlanta,
Speaker 1: which one would you you have said was going to
Speaker 1: be the toughest matchup from a standpoint of the defense
Speaker 1: at Cowboys defense having to match up with their offense.
Speaker 1: I mean Kansas City. I still can't believe how well
Speaker 1: they lay in that game. And that's my point. Like
Speaker 1: we keep talking about at Lant and how good they are,
Speaker 1: and I agree they're good. Kansas City was better, but
Speaker 1: Kansas City was better. And the fact that they were
Speaker 1: able to do what they did against Kansas City, especially
Speaker 1: in the second half, and when you really think about it,
Speaker 1: I'm not the one again to take away a play,
Speaker 1: but you have to consider the fact that the way
Speaker 1: they scored that play right before the half. Outside of
Speaker 1: that play there was that was a pretty dominating performance.
Speaker 1: You say, you're not the type to take away but play,
Speaker 1: but we talk about that all the time on this show,
Speaker 1: like you take away plays off that's not taking away
Speaker 1: a play. What I'm saying is I know what you're saying,
Speaker 1: except for that play, that was a very very dominating
Speaker 1: performance by the defense. And so when you talk about
Speaker 1: that kind of performance against an offense that we think
Speaker 1: is better than the offense they're gonna play this week,
Speaker 1: I think you can't help, but say that they're they're
Speaker 1: really good. Okay, taking away that play, because it's one
Speaker 1: thing to just let a guy go eighty yards up
Speaker 1: the middle for a run on a base defense and
Speaker 1: say take that play out. Well, you can't because you
Speaker 1: were trying to stop him. But when you're talking about
Speaker 1: an abnormal scheme where you probably don't practice a lot
Speaker 1: and you're not going to really face that situation again,
Speaker 1: that that caliber player, I absolutely agree with, y'all. I
Speaker 1: just like to give Derek a hard time because he
Speaker 1: says stuff like that all the time and I love it.
Speaker 1: This good We get good conversation out of it. Go ahead,
Speaker 1: there's just one last one, Dave. You pretty much already
Speaker 1: answer this one. But in case that Tyren Smith does
Speaker 1: not play the old line, it's gonna do their job
Speaker 1: and be good. And again we talked about that earlier,
Speaker 1: but m so you know that, you know, you know,
Speaker 1: if they don't have Tyren Smith, they're gonna they're gonna
Speaker 1: struggle and you're gonna notice it quickly. You're like Vic,
Speaker 1: who like which Beasley? Vic Beasley not Cole Beasley, Vic Beasley,
Speaker 1: the one that has two sacks, already in the first quarter.
Speaker 1: That guy. You think it would be that bad, even
Speaker 1: with a quarterback that's mobile that can get out of trouble.
Speaker 1: You think it's gonna be like one of those kind
Speaker 1: of days. Yep, yep. You know the infomercial for the
Speaker 1: um the spray that like fixes leaks and stuff like
Speaker 1: the guys like, yeah, he's like I put it in
Speaker 1: this boat and it's still FLI like it's gonna be
Speaker 1: like that. That's like flex seal. Yeah, flex seal. Thanks
Speaker 1: can't like it's gonna like you just spray this thing
Speaker 1: down with flex seal and like the water's gonna come in.
Speaker 1: You probably don't want that to be your permanent solution,
Speaker 1: but like you can get a whole, you can get there.
Speaker 1: It starts bubbling up and you think it was gonna
Speaker 1: we're gonna get it. You're gonna get out of the
Speaker 1: boat and your shoes are gonna be wet, but you're
Speaker 1: gonna have gotten there. Chads Green is duct tape. Yes,
Speaker 1: that's exactly what he is. And that's okay. We had
Speaker 1: the diaper last year, now we got the duct tape.
Speaker 1: I think I just ugly, I mean just dark gray,
Speaker 1: not try to hide it, but it does the job right.
Speaker 1: It can hold your car together like it could do
Speaker 1: a lot of things. I don't want him starting at
Speaker 1: tackle for a month because I don't trust that he
Speaker 1: can even make it through a month. But one game.
Speaker 1: He's a talented player. He's a top one hundred pick.
Speaker 1: He's done it before. His adrenaline's going to be pumping
Speaker 1: because he knows that it's all on him. If if
Speaker 1: you know, if they're supposed to be successful, he has
Speaker 1: to play well. I think they'll they'll be fine. It
Speaker 1: won't be their best performance of the year, but they
Speaker 1: can play well enough to score points. All right, let's

Speaker 1: Twitter at Cowboys Break. Let's get a phone call first
Speaker 1: from Thomas and Mississippi. Thomas, what up? What's up? Derek?
Speaker 1: David and Amber? I just have two comments. Uh. I
Speaker 1: know last week Darry was the only one that leading
Speaker 1: the Cowboys against Kansas City. Don't get me wrong, Kansas
Speaker 1: City was a great team. But I think the Cowboys
Speaker 1: are really good team. You know, they they are good
Speaker 1: in all spaces. They're complete team. I don't think I
Speaker 1: would listening to Rick Gods on the Morning Show talking
Speaker 1: about Chris Jones as a pump. So I think and
Speaker 1: I think we've had Sean Legal kay and at Green
Speaker 1: Bay and that uh ramming game. I think we one
Speaker 1: of those two games. I think the DeMarcus Lawrence and
Speaker 1: with David Irb and Shawn Lee and Scandrid, I think
Speaker 1: we are a complete team. I know we're gonna miss
Speaker 1: See he's a special back, but I think there's the
Speaker 1: other backguard are really good. We're gonna miss Tyring, but
Speaker 1: I think Chad Screen would be serviceable. So I think,
Speaker 1: you know, even a game or through a couple of
Speaker 1: years ago when we handled down and down about two points,
Speaker 1: I think our defense would be the differentest time to
Speaker 1: keep it in the game in our offense and that
Speaker 1: it really take us over. That's my comments. I appreciate
Speaker 1: y'all guys. Enjoy y'all the show, See y'all later. All right,
Speaker 1: Thank thanks man. You know, yeah, Sean Lee might have
Speaker 1: helped him win some those two games, maybe, But would
Speaker 1: David Johnson have helped Arizona win that game in Week three?
Speaker 1: I mean, they couldn't run the ball at all. They
Speaker 1: struggled down in the red zone. What Odell would they've
Speaker 1: beaten the Giants of O'Dell playing. I mean, I probably
Speaker 1: the way the Giants have been, I just think it
Speaker 1: just all works out, you know, it all works out
Speaker 1: in those ways. I see a lot of people that
Speaker 1: will say that, man, they were eight name, but they
Speaker 1: could have easily been twelve and four. Okay, but you
Speaker 1: probably could have been four and twelve two. So it
Speaker 1: all just works out. The beauty of the NFL. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, they've had some games they could have won
Speaker 1: without something. But look at that list we just talked about.
Speaker 1: The Cowboys have been in pretty good shape when it
Speaker 1: comes to injuries this year, not going better than the
Speaker 1: vast majority of teams. So yeah, seven had that major
Speaker 1: injury and for the season, right, Yeah, I think his point,
Speaker 1: and he wasn't making excuses. He's trying to say, this
Speaker 1: is a good football team with Shaun Lee, they're a
Speaker 1: good team. This is a balanced team. I get what
Speaker 1: he's saying. It just made me think about you know,
Speaker 1: it goes both ways. They've had to play some some
Speaker 1: teams without some of their best players, so yeah, it's interesting.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, yeah, I definitely picked the Chiefs
Speaker 1: to beat the Cowboys. I don't even feel sorry about it.
Speaker 1: Like the Cowboys exceeded my expectations. That's I never feel
Speaker 1: sorry about that. Well, I don't feel I guess when
Speaker 1: I'm picked him to beat the Broncos. I guess what
Speaker 1: I'm trying to say is I feel justified in making
Speaker 1: that pick. Like if you're trying to tell me I'm
Speaker 1: dumb for not seeing that coming, I don't. I just agree.
Speaker 1: But that was gonna be my point. Might feel bad Monday, Yeah,
Speaker 1: if they win, I'm gonna feel bad then. So you're
Speaker 1: about to make a prediction. Yeah, yeah, we're doing it
Speaker 1: that Yeah, oh sorry, Well I was just gonna like
Speaker 1: doing it. And I just spent fifteen minutes saying I
Speaker 1: think Chads will be fine. I think the running backs
Speaker 1: will be fine. But like, how many people are out there,
Speaker 1: just like, I mean, other than Nicks talking about Chad's green, Like,
Speaker 1: how many people are like, yeah, Chads is gonna be
Speaker 1: a turnstile. They're dead in the water, They're freaking awful.
Speaker 1: Like nobody was saying that heading into Denver and they
Speaker 1: got it put on them. So it's this game is
Speaker 1: like largely unpredictable, and you just make your best guests
Speaker 1: with the information that you have, and sometimes you're right
Speaker 1: and sometimes you're wrong. Like it's just the way it goes.
Speaker 1: I don't know. All right, let's take a question for Twitter. So,
Speaker 1: if the Cowboys lose this weekend against the Falcons, should
Speaker 1: there be a very alarming concern here moving forward? And
Speaker 1: I and I guess that question. I mean, it's very broad,
Speaker 1: I would say, because the Cowboys could play well and
Speaker 1: still lose, you know, so, but in it's regarding you know,
Speaker 1: Tyron Smith in Casey's out. I'm glad you set me
Speaker 1: up for that, because I was about to pull my
Speaker 1: mickey and be like, well, how'd they lose? Like, I mean,
Speaker 1: if they get their doors blown off forty to ten, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's alarming. If they lose on a last second
Speaker 1: field goal, but Chaz plays the game of his life
Speaker 1: and they run for one hundred and fifty yards, it's
Speaker 1: way less alarming than it could be. You know, this
Speaker 1: would be a bad game to lose with Philly comming
Speaker 1: in town the next week, and this is a team
Speaker 1: that's looking like it'll be a part of the NFC
Speaker 1: Wildcard pictures, So it would definitely be troubling, But I
Speaker 1: mean I can think of worse things than being five
Speaker 1: and four heading into a big division game. I mean,
Speaker 1: if you lose both of these games, that's, uh, that's
Speaker 1: pretty rough, Like that's that's not good. But five and
Speaker 1: four with a chance to beat a division team and
Speaker 1: stay alive in the wildcard hunt, like, losing this game
Speaker 1: isn't the end of the world. But I don't think
Speaker 1: they will beat the Eagles, And I mean maybe my
Speaker 1: opinional change over the next nine days, but I doubt
Speaker 1: that happens, which makes this game all the more important.
Speaker 1: So it would be at least a little bit alarming
Speaker 1: if they don't win. The division games matter obviously the
Speaker 1: most of any games, but you get outside of the
Speaker 1: division games Atlanta Seattle or the two games left on
Speaker 1: the schedule, I think the Cowboys must win. And I
Speaker 1: don't mean that means must win or you don't get
Speaker 1: in playoffs. I mean that for their best shot of
Speaker 1: getting in the playoffs, they need those two games. You
Speaker 1: said that yesterday, right, Nick, Like, we're like, yeah, nine
Speaker 1: wins probably gets you a wildcard, and Nick was like,
Speaker 1: if it's the right nine, yeah, who it is? Right?
Speaker 1: So those two games. That's why this game, it would
Speaker 1: be alarming if they lose. It doesn't matter how they play.
Speaker 1: It will be alarming if they lose, because it now
Speaker 1: puts them in a very tough situation with the wild cards.
Speaker 1: It's standings. I still disagree with that, because, like I said,
Speaker 1: if they play freaking great and lose, at least you think,
Speaker 1: all right, they can do this without Zeke. They can
Speaker 1: still play the way they want to play. They're still
Speaker 1: a decent football team. If they like they forgot what
Speaker 1: they're even doing because they don't have Zeke or I mean,
Speaker 1: if the wheels just fall off and Atlanta runs them
Speaker 1: out of the building, I think that's a whole different
Speaker 1: scenario than losing a heartbreaker, you know, because at least
Speaker 1: playing well and losing, I'm at least like, all right, well,
Speaker 1: we've got five more opportunities to get this thing on
Speaker 1: the right track. If they just look hapless, that's another conversation.
Speaker 1: That's all good, But you can't get that game back,
Speaker 1: and that loss is still going to be that loss.
Speaker 1: And when you get to the end of the season
Speaker 1: and you're figuring out who's going to be the wild card,
Speaker 1: no matter whether you played well and lost, or played
Speaker 1: poorly and loss. That loss is still gonna matter. Playing
Speaker 1: poorly and losing just at least gives me confidence that
Speaker 1: you can play. I mean, playing well and losing gives
Speaker 1: me confidence that you can get Maybe you get some
Speaker 1: wins that you didn't expect to get. Sure. Yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 1: that makes sense. So obviously he was supposed to miss
Speaker 1: the first six games of the season, and now he's
Speaker 1: gonna miss these six. I think when you look at it,
Speaker 1: this is a little bit more favorable to the Cowboys. Really. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think these six games right here now that because
Speaker 1: you know the teams a little bit more. I don't
Speaker 1: know if they beat the Cardinals without Zeke, I mean
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. He didn't play great in that game,
Speaker 1: But same with the Giants. I mean it's hard, it's
Speaker 1: hard to factor that in now. But if you just
Speaker 1: look at it, at Atlanta, then you got home games
Speaker 1: against Philly, the Chargers, the Redskins, at the Giants, and
Speaker 1: at the Raiders. I mean without with Morris and rod
Speaker 1: Smith and McFadden. I don't know about the Eagles, but
Speaker 1: they could beat the Chargers. You can you can beat
Speaker 1: the Redskins, of course, on Thursday night at the Giants,
Speaker 1: you could definitely win that game. And then at Oakland,
Speaker 1: I mean, they're not playing great either, So I'm not
Speaker 1: saying they will because you can never to a certainty
Speaker 1: predict anything in the NFL. But take the roster one
Speaker 1: to fifty three, the location of the game, and what
Speaker 1: they both do. The Cowboys should beat the Chargers, the Redskins,
Speaker 1: and the Giants. I think they should win those three games.
Speaker 1: The Redskins, I'm not again, I didn't say will, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I did not. No, No, I'm saying when you say should, though, should,
Speaker 1: that makes it seem to me at least that they
Speaker 1: are clearly a better team. I think they're about equal
Speaker 1: with Washington. You not better team playing at home. I mean, again,
Speaker 1: not saying well, I think they're a better team in
Speaker 1: that situation. And then Oakland's not playing well, And so Oakland, Atlanta,
Speaker 1: and Philly are the three where you're just like, well,
Speaker 1: we'll see how this goes. But if you can at
Speaker 1: least get those three three and three is not the
Speaker 1: end of the world. I mean, if you're eight and
Speaker 1: six for heading into the last two weeks of the
Speaker 1: season and you have Zeke back I can think of
Speaker 1: way worse places to be. Yeah, and now that team
Speaker 1: you're gonna play when Zeke returns is without one of
Speaker 1: their best players in Richard Sherman, and that that list
Speaker 1: depending on how many of those guys come back. They
Speaker 1: had a pretty full list of guys that got hurt
Speaker 1: last night as well. So yeah, that's certainly looking more
Speaker 1: like a winnable game, not that it wasn't before, but
Speaker 1: it certainly looks much more problem You just can't look
Speaker 1: like Joe Looney when he comes back, though, Zeke. Oh,
Speaker 1: that's true. That is a good point. I mean he
Speaker 1: needs to. He needs to Whatever he's gonna be doing
Speaker 1: in six weeks, I mean that, I think is what
Speaker 1: we're not talking about as much is just what's he's
Speaker 1: gonna be doing. So Nick, who's taking care of this? Zeke? Tup?
Speaker 1: Have you ever seen the Training Montain? I know you
Speaker 1: have because you love the Rocky movies. Yeah, the Training
Speaker 1: Montage and Rocky four where he like runs to the
Speaker 1: top of the mountain. Yeah, and as drag goes like
Speaker 1: in his facility. Yeah, he's punching this thing how many
Speaker 1: And I don't care about that. He's gonna be running
Speaker 1: away from like Todd Williams and no, Zeke's just Zeke's
Speaker 1: gonna be running up and down mountains and stuff. I
Speaker 1: don't know. He's gonna be lifting people. Yeah, he's gonna
Speaker 1: be a ton of here in Dallas, gonna be hanging
Speaker 1: out at his house like three miles from here and
Speaker 1: going to the gym. That's what he's gonna be doing
Speaker 1: this with a picture of what Seattle on his window
Speaker 1: and just gonna turn or picture of the dell. That's it.
Speaker 1: There's a concrete cowboy across from the good Is that legal? Like?
Speaker 1: Could he hang out in that bar? That's a public place?
Speaker 1: It's on cowboys property. Yeah, so he's just gonna hang
Speaker 1: out on the deck at concrete cowboy just kind of
Speaker 1: like over there, Yeah, look over at it? Is it?
Speaker 1: Is it cowboy his property? I mean no, No, anything
Speaker 1: outside of the facility is not. Jerry Jones does not.
Speaker 1: I wonder why you know that, but that delicion it's cowboys.
Speaker 1: I don't want to tell you how I do. And
Speaker 1: Jones family properties. It's from a friends all right. Well,
Speaker 1: you know the ring of honor goes all the way
Speaker 1: down the street, So maybe it's just the Cowboys. No,
Speaker 1: that's not, but that doesn't mean it's the Cowboys property.
Speaker 1: I'll be Cowboys fit. Can he go there? Probably not.
Speaker 1: I'll be looking for can he go there? I don't know?
Speaker 1: Cowboys fit is yes? Yeah, which is like an exception here.
Speaker 1: I think he really can if you wanted to. Yeah, definitely,
Speaker 1: it's a public place. I guess I doubt Zeke. He's
Speaker 1: not on the level where he's got his own home. Jim, Like,
Speaker 1: that's Tom Brady money right there. You know Romo had
Speaker 1: his own gym. That's true. That's a good point. Is
Speaker 1: Romo is super kidding. I don't know if he had
Speaker 1: his own gym, But I wonder where. I wonder where
Speaker 1: he'll go. Like, is Zeke just going to buy a
Speaker 1: subscription to Lifetime Fitness? Like I mean, I mean I
Speaker 1: just rolling in. I don't know. I'm what they've got
Speaker 1: the Michael Johnson Fitness There's like some places where professional
Speaker 1: athletes trained in the city around the country league and
Speaker 1: having suspension suspended players go somewhere. They have a spot. Yeah,
Speaker 1: trust me, they have a spot. They have a guy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: are go see this dude? Yeah? See Frank, Like, hey,
Speaker 1: cowboys clipboards. Who we got Let's see Cowboys Cowboys ops
Speaker 1: has like a binder where all right, you're suspended. Here
Speaker 1: you go, all right, running back, here's your plan, go
Speaker 1: take care of it. All right, Let's get another question
Speaker 1: from Twitter. What do you think would be the biggest
Speaker 1: slash toughest matchup in this game if he plays, if
Speaker 1: he plays Julio against these dbs, what if he doesn't
Speaker 1: would be the next one? Sean Lee and Anthony Hitchins
Speaker 1: dealing with these running backs, both of them Coleman and Freeman.
Speaker 1: Which one do you worry about more? Or do you
Speaker 1: worry about either? Are they the same to you? You know,
Speaker 1: I think I was gonna say this yesterday and I
Speaker 1: got sidetracked. Like Freeman's kind of a smaller guy. He
Speaker 1: doesn't strike you as being this big power back, but
Speaker 1: like he is a load. Yeah, like he crushes people,
Speaker 1: So he does it minds me of Girly a little bit.
Speaker 1: Maybe not as fast, but yeah, he does remind me
Speaker 1: of that kind of style. I think he's underutilized as
Speaker 1: a receiver, like in fact that he's only got one
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty seven receiving herds as strange to me
Speaker 1: so Freeman, but Coleman's really good too. I think it's
Speaker 1: they'll both be worth watching. And it seems like last
Speaker 1: year they use Coleman a little bit more catching out
Speaker 1: of the backfield. That's what he was, that was kind
Speaker 1: of his role. They still use him in that way
Speaker 1: this year, like it's nothing for him to have four
Speaker 1: or five six catches in a game. But it seems
Speaker 1: like they're not doing quite as much as they were
Speaker 1: doing it last season. So I think the matchup is
Speaker 1: going to be Matt Ryan. I know amber it talked
Speaker 1: about him against the Blitz. He's really good there. Like
Speaker 1: that's to me as a matchup, it's just that chess matchup,
Speaker 1: figuring out, Okay, here here, here comes you know, here
Speaker 1: comes pressure off the edge. I'm gonna get it to
Speaker 1: these you know, uh, these hot routes. I just think
Speaker 1: that that he's the guy, he's the guy to watch.
Speaker 1: Here's the he's the MVP. He's coming off a great year,
Speaker 1: he's not having a great performance. But I just feel like,
Speaker 1: I know I always say this a lot, but I
Speaker 1: just feel like a game like this, you know, they've
Speaker 1: been talking in Atlanta, what's wrong with our team? You
Speaker 1: know all week long, what's wrong with Hulio? What's wrong
Speaker 1: with the passing game? I've just seen it happen too
Speaker 1: many times that this is where it just kind of
Speaker 1: clicks here. It clicks here in early November, long season,
Speaker 1: but teams tend to do this as a season goes on.
Speaker 1: It's not about start. Yeah, all right, another question out
Speaker 1: of the running backs, who do you guys think will
Speaker 1: get the red sum touches out of the who I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna defer towards Alfred, And I'm like, we have
Speaker 1: no idea what to expect. I mean, we haven't seen
Speaker 1: this team play running back without Zeke, not counting that
Speaker 1: stupid Philly game in years, So I assume Alfred's going
Speaker 1: to get the majority of the touches, But who the
Speaker 1: hell knows? Dak. There you go. It's actually good one.
Speaker 1: It's a good answer, really going. And I want to
Speaker 1: see him run a lot this weekend. And what I
Speaker 1: mean by a lot is I want five or six
Speaker 1: runs from him this week Can you wear like a
Speaker 1: like a back protector? You know, don't they don't? I
Speaker 1: thought they have like that little thing that comes from
Speaker 1: the shoulder pads in the back does he wear it
Speaker 1: that well? BA does? Okay, Dak needs to wear that
Speaker 1: just and then Keith Smith just smash him right in
Speaker 1: the back and just on a quarterback sneak. There's no
Speaker 1: way that the Dak and Beef behind him just pushing
Speaker 1: him through. There's no no way anybody could stop that play.
Speaker 1: I'm assuming that's accurate. That's accurate. I mean fourth and one,
Speaker 1: fourth and goal from the one. You've got the best
Speaker 1: center in football, You've got probably the biggest quarterback, one
Speaker 1: of the biggest, most athletic quarterbacks in football, and then
Speaker 1: you've got a pretty nasty linebacker playing full back behind him.
Speaker 1: Those three guys powering in. Who's stopping that? You're preaching
Speaker 1: in the choir man, I know you know what worries
Speaker 1: me when he runs and it wouldn't necessarily be in
Speaker 1: the red zone because he's you know, scoring it touch him.
Speaker 1: But I've seen it a couple of times that I'm like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, be careful. Is when he slides how
Speaker 1: his hand fall like touches the ground like his wrist.
Speaker 1: I always I've seen it a couple of times where
Speaker 1: I'm like, he'd better be really, really careful because you
Speaker 1: can really mess up your wrist, go jam it, it
Speaker 1: could happen. Yeah, I mean I've seen him fall down
Speaker 1: or like slide and sometimes it kind of looks like
Speaker 1: that could really happen. And if your wrist is messed up,
Speaker 1: then you can't really throw the ball. Yeah, if it's
Speaker 1: your right hand. Ran Leaf just banging his in Atlanta? Yeah,
Speaker 1: who are you? That could be that? That story time
Speaker 1: right there. But all right, let's get to our crazy predictions,
Speaker 1: our predictions for the game. Let's start with you, Amber,
Speaker 1: What do you have? What are you thinking? Oh? No,
Speaker 1: not me. Um, I don't know. I really really don't
Speaker 1: know for this game. I have a feeling that the
Speaker 1: Cowboys could still win this game even with the possible
Speaker 1: two guys out maybe, um, but man, I just really
Speaker 1: don't know what to expect. I have no idea how
Speaker 1: they will look out there with those changes. So I'll
Speaker 1: just say Cowboys win. The score. Don't even ask me.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. I don't know how
Speaker 1: many points they'll be able to score. But I have
Speaker 1: a confidence that we appreciate, appreciate your Cowboys win. I
Speaker 1: don't know how many points they'll score, but I have
Speaker 1: a feeling that Cowboys defense will do enough to stop
Speaker 1: the other teams with fifteen segments a week, right, I
Speaker 1: mean in the fifteenth one. At the end of the
Speaker 1: fifteenth one, it's like it catches you by this project.
Speaker 1: I don't know how many points. I don't don't ask
Speaker 1: me how many points are gonna score. I don't even know. Well,
Speaker 1: everything changed for me this week, That's true. It's not
Speaker 1: like you could be preparing about it all week long. Dave,
Speaker 1: let's go. I just have a I have a weirdly
Speaker 1: good feeling about this game. I had it. I mean
Speaker 1: I had it when Zeke was obviously in the lineup,
Speaker 1: and I still have it. I don't like Atlanta's just
Speaker 1: I think they're a mess. I don't know. I mean,
Speaker 1: I know they have talent. I know that it could
Speaker 1: click any week, but a team with that much talent
Speaker 1: shouldn't look as mediocre as they have and have as
Speaker 1: big of a problem scoring points. I mean, they scored
Speaker 1: a touchdown against New England, and New England's defense has
Speaker 1: been pretty bad this year, and just there's something there
Speaker 1: that's wrong that's more than just you know x's and
Speaker 1: knows um. I think the running game is gonna be fine.
Speaker 1: Like I said, I think they're going to run for
Speaker 1: like one hundred and forty yards. I think Dak will
Speaker 1: chip in a few. I think Dak is going to
Speaker 1: continue to play well, and honestly, that's we barely talked
Speaker 1: about that. Like, I really think they'll be as good
Speaker 1: as Dak is over the next six games, and I
Speaker 1: think he's up to that challenge. Um, I think Chaz
Speaker 1: Green can handle that well enough. It's not gonna be great,
Speaker 1: but it'll be there. They probably don't score twenty eight
Speaker 1: points this week, Like, I think there will be some
Speaker 1: residual side effects of all these losses. But I think
Speaker 1: they can get Matt Ryan on the ground. I don't
Speaker 1: think they need to blitz him to do that, and
Speaker 1: I expect that they either win or are even in
Speaker 1: turnovers and I'm thinking like twenty four or twenty instead.
Speaker 1: I mean, it'll be it's gonna be in when Like,
Speaker 1: they haven't had a real nail biter finished since the
Speaker 1: since the Green Bay game. I mean, I guess Washington
Speaker 1: it never really got to like nail biter status because
Speaker 1: they got that pick right away on that drive. So
Speaker 1: I think this will be this one will be a
Speaker 1: nail biter, but I think they'll find a way to
Speaker 1: win it. All right, Nick, I'm gonna go with Atlanta.
Speaker 1: I think Atlanta wins twenty eight to twenty three. I
Speaker 1: think the kicker is gonna miss an extra point early
Speaker 1: in the game. I think they're gonna be chasing that
Speaker 1: dank point all game long. It's gonna haunt them. And
Speaker 1: I think the running game will be okay. But if
Speaker 1: they don't have Julio Jones, I think that changes everything.
Speaker 1: I don't like the Falcon's offense without Julio Jones, I do.
Speaker 1: I would pick the Cowboys if he doesn't play. I
Speaker 1: have a feeling he will play. I guess we'll find
Speaker 1: out about the injury report, but I'm gonna go with
Speaker 1: Atlanta twenty eight twenty three. I wish I could make
Speaker 1: three different predictions, like what happens. You're saying what happens,
Speaker 1: what happens, Here's here's my prediction. If if if Tyron's out,
Speaker 1: here's my predicition. Prediction, if Julio is out, here's my prediction.
Speaker 1: If all of them play, don't you just do? But
Speaker 1: here's what I will cut The other two honestly, what
Speaker 1: I think. I think the Cowboys win, but I think
Speaker 1: it's a very very close game. Seventeen sixteen. I think
Speaker 1: this is a situation where I'm gonna still trust this defense,
Speaker 1: and what I've seen so far for these three weeks
Speaker 1: is that this defense is played really well. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: trust the fact that they're going to continue to play
Speaker 1: well against what was a what is, in my opinion,
Speaker 1: a lesser offense than what they beat last week. Um
Speaker 1: and I think that's going to be the difference. I
Speaker 1: think the offense will struggle. I think there'll be times
Speaker 1: this game when we'll say Man's Office just doesn't have it.
Speaker 1: I think because of the defense, they'll stay in the
Speaker 1: game and they'll have an opportunity at the end to win.
Speaker 1: At seventeen sixteen. Have you picked them to lose yet?
Speaker 1: I think I picked the opponent maybe Green Bay Bay?
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, I think I picked Green Bay, and
Speaker 1: then that game, I got my eye on you, Eagleton.
Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying. And I'm gonna tell you what,
Speaker 1: depending on how they things go this weekend, I've already
Speaker 1: circled next weekend is one where I'm I might be
Speaker 1: going the other ways because I just again, I just
Speaker 1: I try to give him the benefit of the doubt
Speaker 1: where possible. When not, it's one game at a time,
Speaker 1: one game at a time. Will you're five and three
Speaker 1: this year? No? No, he would be six and two
Speaker 1: because I picked the Packers, already picked the Packers. Oh no,
Speaker 1: i'd be six unto Yeah, i'd be six and two.
Speaker 1: I picked the Cowboys. You did, okay, guys? Sorry, all right,
Speaker 1: we'll see you guys later next Monday weekend everybody, and
Speaker 1: we'll be able to tell you, guys how many Emmy
Speaker 1: Awards Dave won over the weekend hopefully too. That should
Speaker 1: be fun. We'll be back on Monday, see you guys. Then.
Speaker 1: This has been a production of Dallas Cowboys Come and
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
