Yeah, we'll 0:03:57.600 --> 0:03:58.960 end on that. With the news and notes. 0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:02.200 We can say into a discussion, don't start out negative, 0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:03.240 Kyle geez. 0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:07.360 We're going right into the injury report. So you know 0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:10.120 there's no there's no positives. Yeah, there's positive. 0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:12.360 Mike gets back. 0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:15.880 Yeah, figured that was because he was not going to play. 0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:18.760 He was not going to Not pretty big deal. So 0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:22.200 Michael was a limited participant, but nonetheless back at practice 0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:24.559 for the first time since suffering his high ankle sprain 0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:28.320 several weeks ago. He's missed several games at this point. 0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:31.360 But yesterday, you know, in the open portion of practice, 0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:33.240 Not that we were able to see much there, but 0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:35.720 I was checking for his movement and his range of 0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:39.200 motion as he was doing the chords with trainer Britt Brown, 0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:42.320 and kind of looking at his facial express I want 0:04:42.320 --> 0:04:43.960 to see if there's going to be any grimacy, Was 0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:47.880 there any favoring? Was he laboring at all? Looks very good, 0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:50.440 He's moving very well. I wonder what he looks like 0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:53.400 in team drills. But he did say after practice that 0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:56.520 he's going he's trying to go full go to test it. 0:04:56.800 --> 0:04:59.160 He said that he'll see how he feels again today, 0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:01.720 but felt good yesterday and now it's just a matter 0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:04.760 of getting those reps because, in his words, he said, 0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:07.520 he feels like he's starting over because he's been out 0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:10.000 for such a period of time. But as far as physically, 0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:13.280 he said, there are no limitations on him right now. 0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:15.359 He's just you know, working to get the reps in, 0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:18.480 working to be cleared for Sunday. Then he started talking 0:05:18.600 --> 0:05:21.240 as if he will be on the field on Sunday 0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:24.520 because he started speaking about the matchup against his former 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:26.320 Penn statementors Sae Kwon Barkley. 0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:28.480 So that's going to be something to watch. 0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:31.039 So there's your really good news is that Michael Parsons 0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:32.560 is trending towards coming back. 0:05:32.640 --> 0:05:35.120 Let's go now. I hope you have fun with that. 0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:38.040 Dron Bland is still not practicing well, Okay, he did 0:05:38.080 --> 0:05:41.840 not participate. Was expected that he would not participate, but. 0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:43.640 To say it was a significant setback. 0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:47.520 Yeah, And the question posed to Mike McCarthy yesterday was, 0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:50.200 you know, in the walk off after the press conference 0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:54.120 was was it a significant setback? And he downplayed it 0:05:54.160 --> 0:05:57.599 and said it wasn't necessarily significant. It's just a matter 0:05:57.720 --> 0:06:01.400 of they thought that he would be ready, and he's 0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:03.440 just not healing at the. 0:06:03.400 --> 0:06:04.720 Rate that they thought he would. 0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:08.000 The word that McCarthy said was he's still having symptoms 0:06:08.000 --> 0:06:10.640 from it, and until he's no longer having symptoms, he 0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:14.280 will not be cleared to return to practice again, let 0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:15.359 alone take the field. 0:06:15.360 --> 0:06:18.000 Have you ever seen an Anchorman of Come On? I mean, 0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:21.520 it's one of the best common movies about our whole thing. 0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:24.800 The one part of Anchorman where he's he's got the 0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:27.960 pen in his hand, he just goes, I don't believe you. 0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:32.200 That's me and Mike McCarthy right now. I don't believe 0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:32.680 he looked. 0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:34.040 I don't believe you. I don't believe you. 0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:36.839 I think it was significant. There's no way you go limited, 0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:40.640 limited in practice practice, then d n p out for 0:06:40.720 --> 0:06:43.039 the game, and then you have not seen the practice 0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:44.320 field in three weeks. 0:06:44.360 --> 0:06:44.800 Agree with you. 0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:48.280 After starting the twenty one day practice window, he immediately 0:06:48.360 --> 0:06:51.920 went into practice full practice, full practices and then d 0:06:52.040 --> 0:06:54.440 n p'd from that point forward. I mean, I don't 0:06:54.480 --> 0:06:54.800 believe you. 0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:57.080 How many weeks. Well, I mean it was going that 0:06:57.160 --> 0:06:58.640 was going into the Detroit. 0:06:58.320 --> 0:07:09.840 Game, and what's that A small setback, that's what it was. 0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:13.559 Like, I do agree. 0:07:13.640 --> 0:07:16.640 I think the setback was significant. No one around the 0:07:16.680 --> 0:07:19.840 building is admitting to that. But the timeline is the timeline. 0:07:19.880 --> 0:07:21.880 The math is the math, and the fact is this 0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:25.440 was a stress fracture, not anything that should have been devastating, 0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:27.360 but it was a stress fracture that occurred and was 0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:30.560 surgically repaired just ahead of the season, so that would 0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:32.840 have been late August. We are now having this conversation 0:07:32.920 --> 0:07:37.320 approaching mid November, and he's still not at practice after 0:07:37.360 --> 0:07:40.160 having practiced twice and then being pulled from practice entirely. 0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:44.080 So something something went wrong. Something's so we'll see from that. 0:07:44.440 --> 0:07:46.200 As far as the injury report, the remainder of the 0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:49.360 injury report goes Tyler Guy and was limited. You know, 0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:51.400 he had suffered a little bit of a nick issue 0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:53.960 against the Falcons, but returned to the game and he 0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:56.480 played it. I spoke with guid In yesterday he should 0:07:56.480 --> 0:08:00.360 be completely fine for this week's game. Ceedee Lamb limited 0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:03.120 with that shoulder as expected per Mike McCarthy, that he 0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:06.080 would be limited. Eric Kendricks was listed with a shoulder 0:08:06.120 --> 0:08:08.640 He did not participate, but he was not going to 0:08:08.640 --> 0:08:11.680 participate in yesterday's practice anyway, because that's a veteran day 0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:15.920 for both he and Zach Martin, but because they receive treatment. 0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:18.880 That has to be logged with the with the NFL. 0:08:19.240 --> 0:08:22.200 So Eric Kendricks and Zach Martin both listed with shoulder 0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:26.040 issues DMP. But again, even if they were completely healthy, 0:08:26.040 --> 0:08:28.239 they would not have practiced on yesterday, So no concern. 0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:33.160 They're really one ye Thomas, he is not looking good 0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:36.439 for this Sunday with that concussion. He is in the protocol. 0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:38.600 It doesn't sound like he's going to clear in order 0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:40.920 to take the field. And Nick Vigil continues to deal 0:08:40.920 --> 0:08:45.280 with that full issue. And now Dak Prescott, all right, 0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:48.040 so oh, peeking over at the Eagles real quick. If 0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:51.200 I'm Tay Smith didn't practice with a hamstring injury, so 0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:54.280 keeping on on that, and Nolan Smith didn't participate with 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:58.040 a groin injury. So two starters for the Eagles are 0:08:58.200 --> 0:09:00.839 less than healthy, so keeping on them. But so Dak 0:09:00.880 --> 0:09:07.199 Prescott yesterday morning, a source told me that and this 0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:10.480 is the wording from the source that Dak Prescott quote 0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:15.400 unquote popped a hamstring does not sound good by So 0:09:15.400 --> 0:09:20.559 my question to that was, well a statement. My reply was, 0:09:20.600 --> 0:09:23.800 it's interesting you say popped and not pulled. He was 0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:27.600 like popped. Oh yeah, okay. Fast forward a little bit 0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:30.840 from that. It was confirmed by multiple reports. Lead being 0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:34.000 Jane Slater of NFL Networks shouts out to Jane, So 0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:36.440 I'm gonna read exactly from janecause I don't want to 0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:37.000 miss quote. 0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:40.240 All right, So let me pull Jane's up right now. 0:09:40.520 --> 0:09:47.079 Dak Prescott has reportedly suffered where you are, okay, reportedly 0:09:47.080 --> 0:09:50.280 suffered a partial evolsion of his hamstring tendon, which is 0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:54.880 partially torn off of the bone, per reports, and then 0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:58.840 includes Jane and some others such as Calvin Clarence. And 0:09:58.880 --> 0:10:01.600 again this is confirming what the source told me with 0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:05.080 the verbiage of popped. Right, I'm told it typically takes 0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:07.319 more than four weeks. Absolutely it would, and in some 0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:10.480 cases it may scar over. Now I'm gonna move away 0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:14.440 from them. In some cases, this partial terror may scar over. 0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:17.000 The issue is is they're still trying to figure out 0:10:17.000 --> 0:10:19.000 if it's a partial or a full full. 0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:19.920 If it's a. 0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:22.080 Partial tear, they may just rest them, see if it 0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:24.080 heals on its own, and then see how it goes. 0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:26.000 I'm with you on there. If it's a full tear 0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:27.960 it requires surgery, season is over. 0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:33.079 The full tear I saw even with surgery, the best 0:10:33.200 --> 0:10:37.160 case scenario was six weeks best case. And that's not 0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:39.240 what you're gonna do with a franchise quarterback. 0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:41.000 You're not gonna rush because how many games do you have? 0:10:41.320 --> 0:10:44.840 Absolutely not that you've got nine regular season games left. 0:10:45.000 --> 0:10:47.200 You're not going to rush him back for that surgery 0:10:47.400 --> 0:10:49.720 six games and then it takes another two or three 0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:52.480 to even working the way back the season. So again 0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:56.840 I stayed, if it's if it requires surgery to repair 0:10:57.800 --> 0:10:59.920 Dak Prescott, season is likely over. 0:11:00.240 --> 0:11:06.160 Yeah. And as such, why. 0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:08.600 Was the word was the word quit on there at all? 0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:09.040 Oh? 0:11:09.200 --> 0:11:10.520 No, the word quit was. 0:11:10.480 --> 0:11:11.120 Not on there. 0:11:11.960 --> 0:11:12.200 Quit. 0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:16.880 So for James, for those such as James, he's in 0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:19.840 a little bit of hot water, should even with his 0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:22.880 own people, to people. 0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:24.880 Hot takes that's crazy that you're in hot water at 0:11:25.000 --> 0:11:29.600 f s one. That's a really terrific dumb play. 0:11:29.760 --> 0:11:32.199 The game at that level will get drawn into the 0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:35.679 environment that you're in. That's what it is due Unfortunately 0:11:35.679 --> 0:11:37.240 some of the some of. 0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:38.120 The media game too. 0:11:38.240 --> 0:11:42.120 It's even when some of the experienced guys get drawn 0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:44.240 in trying to you gotta stay true. 0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:46.880 It was bad. No, I'm not trying to make give 0:11:46.880 --> 0:11:50.120 an excuse to the guy. I'm just saying he he. 0:11:50.240 --> 0:11:53.040 Made a dumb statement and he doubled down on it, 0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:55.240 and then he tried to backtrack it. Yesterday when that 0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:57.320 news came out, my fault and it was like, oh, 0:11:57.360 --> 0:11:58.440 I'm sorry, Like, well. 0:11:58.320 --> 0:12:00.120 Then if you don't know anything, don't talk about it. 0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:03.160 I mean, granted, this is before the diagnosis came out, 0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:05.240 this is before all of the reports on exactly what 0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:06.200 the injury was. 0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:09.559 But he did say, oh, Dak Prescott quit on his team. 0:12:09.880 --> 0:12:13.920 Yeah, so that's a bad that's a bad look regardless 0:12:14.000 --> 0:12:16.880 no matter what player it is. There's no way any 0:12:16.880 --> 0:12:19.120 circumstances you don't know what him to spend. And as 0:12:19.160 --> 0:12:21.480 a player, as a former player, could say that is 0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:23.120 it's pretty egregious, man. 0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:24.880 For a former player to say it. 0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:28.080 And when you look at the character of Dak Prescott, 0:12:28.120 --> 0:12:30.240 now I said this, what ever. 0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:30.840 Said I said this? 0:12:31.480 --> 0:12:34.559 We can talk about Dak Prescott's poor quarterback player twenty 0:12:34.800 --> 0:12:36.840 twenty before all the Live Long Day. 0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:38.240 We have done it on this show. 0:12:38.320 --> 0:12:40.400 Yep, absolutely we can. Week out. 0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:43.680 We've shot away from decision making, the interceptions, the lack 0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:46.600 of willingness to take off and run, with character, all 0:12:46.800 --> 0:12:50.880 the things. But character, not with that, not with that guy. 0:12:51.040 --> 0:12:52.959 I mean, come on, this is a guy. Let's be real. 0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:55.320 This is a guy who continued to play football after 0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:57.600 his mother passed the cancer in order to honor her. 0:12:57.760 --> 0:12:59.760 This is a guy who continued to play football, didn't 0:12:59.760 --> 0:13:02.520 miss a game when his brother Jase died of suicide 0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:05.319 because he wanted to honor him and show mental fortitude 0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:07.079 and strength and be a leader for the team. So 0:13:07.440 --> 0:13:10.520 this is a guy who who tried to snap his 0:13:10.600 --> 0:13:14.360 ankle back into place against the Giants so that he 0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:17.240 could try to play through it. And you mean to 0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:19.160 tell me, you mean to tell me that you're going 0:13:19.240 --> 0:13:22.760 to say this guy quit, This guy quit. Come on, man, 0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:26.240 come on, man, maybe you should quit. How about how 0:13:26.280 --> 0:13:26.760 about that. 0:13:27.640 --> 0:13:30.400 I don't want to give any extra pub to him 0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:31.439 or that show. 0:13:31.320 --> 0:13:34.559 Or I'm already he said to him on Twitter. Twitter. 0:13:35.640 --> 0:13:37.960 It was a bad take and it shouldn't have gone 0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:39.880 anywhere close to what it is. 0:13:39.920 --> 0:13:43.800 So yeah, unfortunately, and this also goes to and this 0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:45.480 is why. 0:13:45.880 --> 0:13:47.120 One of the things that kind of set me. 0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:50.120 Off about it, it was because for those of us who 0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:53.040 travel with the team, I stood there and I watched 0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:54.400 players board the plane. 0:13:54.440 --> 0:13:55.559 After the flight, I. 0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:58.360 Watched Ceedee Lamb need help from Trayvon Diggs to get 0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:02.320 his bags into the overhead bitch. I watched Dak Prescott 0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:07.040 limping from the bus while holding his upper hamstring, kind 0:14:07.040 --> 0:14:10.160 of hobbling up the stairs, going back and forth between 0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:11.840 the up and down the aisle to talk to some 0:14:11.920 --> 0:14:14.400 trainers and talk to CD and whatnot. The whole time 0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:16.280 you you would have thought his leg was made of wood, 0:14:16.600 --> 0:14:17.040 the way. 0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:18.360 He was dragging that thing around. 0:14:18.520 --> 0:14:21.800 And then not hours later, you see, rather than James 0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:24.520 Jones or anyone, have the audacity to be like, the 0:14:24.520 --> 0:14:27.720 guy's quitting, like the guy is barely walking, and then 0:14:27.760 --> 0:14:29.560 you're at the character aspect to it. So again, we 0:14:29.600 --> 0:14:32.480 could talk about his portfolio all day long. 0:14:32.320 --> 0:14:35.880 But don't give any attention to people. You're still going 0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:40.240 on the injury report. We ended with that, So hamstrings suck, 0:14:41.400 --> 0:14:47.480 hamstring suck. I just put it like that, and. 0:14:45.680 --> 0:14:47.920 I know you had an ac joint injury, which is 0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:50.000 what is what C is dealing He'll be. 0:14:49.920 --> 0:14:53.120 Fine, cd C. If that's what he's dealing with, then 0:14:53.320 --> 0:14:55.040 he'll be fine. You can play with it. It hurts 0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:56.840 like all get out, but you can play with it. 0:14:56.880 --> 0:14:57.520 Okay, that's good. 0:14:57.960 --> 0:14:59.880 Hamstring Did you ever pop a hamstring? 0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:00.400 Pop? 0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:04.000 Pop? I have come very close to popping a hamstring. 0:15:04.040 --> 0:15:07.920 I've had a Grade three hamstring strain which took about 0:15:08.000 --> 0:15:10.920 pretty day there two months to get back from with 0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:11.920 daily treatment. 0:15:12.640 --> 0:15:13.800 That's where you were shaking your head. 0:15:13.840 --> 0:15:14.520 That's grade three. 0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:16.600 So and that's that's when I that's why I was 0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:20.080 running track and I felt that thing about to pop, right, 0:15:20.160 --> 0:15:21.880 So you're stretching it all the way to the limit 0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:23.880 like rubber band, right, and you just let that thing 0:15:23.960 --> 0:15:27.040 come back, you know. So that took a couple of 0:15:27.080 --> 0:15:28.920 months of treatment every single day. 0:15:28.920 --> 0:15:32.280 I think anybody home listening that's either felt a hamstring 0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:34.120 and pool or felt anything like that. 0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:35.760 It's just like Grimace and that where. 0:15:35.600 --> 0:15:38.880 You're playing quarterback at the highest level possible, you know 0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:39.240 what I mean. 0:15:39.720 --> 0:15:41.720 Yeah, So I had to come back pretty important. 0:15:41.720 --> 0:15:45.920 Actually had I actually had tryouts quarter I mean that's 0:15:45.920 --> 0:15:48.200 when coach Willingham had just came into the University of Washington, 0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:51.560 and I pulled my hamstring and the next week was practice, 0:15:51.640 --> 0:15:53.600 you know, spring practice was tracking was coming around, and 0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:55.480 that's when tryouts were happening, right, That's when you're going 0:15:55.480 --> 0:15:57.720 out to compete for your position. So I was literally 0:15:57.800 --> 0:16:00.560 out there on one leg, like literally on one leg. 0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:03.480 So I say, I'll have to say whatever I speak 0:16:03.480 --> 0:16:05.200 in regards to injuries, I speak up in regards to 0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:07.200 my experience. Yes, okay, I'm never going to tell a 0:16:07.200 --> 0:16:09.360 man what he can and can't do. I'm gonna Putever're 0:16:09.360 --> 0:16:11.960 never gonna put a timeline on any individual. Everybody's their 0:16:11.960 --> 0:16:15.360 own person, okay, And situations change based upon pain tolerance, 0:16:15.400 --> 0:16:15.920 all that jazz. 0:16:16.000 --> 0:16:16.160 Right. 0:16:17.440 --> 0:16:20.720 I am not very optimistic that Dak's going to play 0:16:20.760 --> 0:16:21.360 anymore this year. 0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:22.840 That's me. 0:16:23.480 --> 0:16:27.760 That's also me, that's my that's my personal opinion. I 0:16:27.800 --> 0:16:30.920 am not optimistic, especially the way that the season is trending. 0:16:31.400 --> 0:16:35.800 If you lose this game against the Philadelphia Eagles, it's 0:16:35.800 --> 0:16:38.520 time to have a real conversation about guys that are 0:16:38.600 --> 0:16:41.360 dealing with things and that are playing through things, because 0:16:41.520 --> 0:16:42.440 most guys are. 0:16:42.560 --> 0:16:45.840 There's just different levels of injuries. 0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:46.000 Right. 0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:48.840 There's hurt and there's injuries, right, And there's a big 0:16:48.840 --> 0:16:49.560 difference between that. 0:16:49.600 --> 0:16:51.080 I teach that to my kids. Are you hurt or 0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:51.880 you're injured? Right? 0:16:51.920 --> 0:16:53.920 I called my son out last week because he pulled 0:16:53.960 --> 0:16:55.640 himself out the game. He's like, well, this was hurt, 0:16:55.680 --> 0:16:57.720 and I'm like, you're not injured though, because you came 0:16:57.760 --> 0:17:00.840 back in right when you when you're holed out because 0:17:00.840 --> 0:17:05.480 you can no longer go, that's an injury. And I 0:17:06.520 --> 0:17:09.000 hate to see what's happening with this team, especially with 0:17:09.000 --> 0:17:11.320 the injuries that they have sustained. You're talking about a 0:17:11.320 --> 0:17:13.919 team that's used to having multiple Pro Bowlers and this 0:17:14.040 --> 0:17:17.159 year you may have won maybe. 0:17:16.920 --> 0:17:21.600 One lock for sure. James Brandon Aubrey okay, yeah yeah, 0:17:21.680 --> 0:17:24.879 and the others is kind of up for debate. 0:17:25.000 --> 0:17:26.840 The only other player I would even see the end 0:17:26.840 --> 0:17:29.679 of that conversation would be either CD or Jordan Lewis. 0:17:29.960 --> 0:17:31.160 I think Jay Lows played. 0:17:30.960 --> 0:17:33.000 At Lo, played well, but we know how that's going. 0:17:33.000 --> 0:17:35.159 They're not gonna get He didn't have a name for 0:17:35.240 --> 0:17:38.159 that exactly, so you know, and a lot of this 0:17:38.200 --> 0:17:40.840 is because of injuries, right, So all your Pro Bowlers, 0:17:41.200 --> 0:17:42.719 all your Pro bowlers. I mean, yeah, but he got 0:17:42.760 --> 0:17:44.880 to do it in nine games, right, So I mean, 0:17:45.160 --> 0:17:46.440 but equally a popularity. 0:17:46.480 --> 0:17:49.640 I know it's a popularity, but injuries suck. 0:17:50.160 --> 0:17:53.240 And again, I pray for Dak and I pray for 0:17:53.280 --> 0:17:55.880 his recovery, and I know he's seeking the best care, 0:17:55.960 --> 0:17:57.200 has access to the best care. 0:17:57.200 --> 0:17:57.760 It's amazing. 0:17:57.880 --> 0:18:01.439 It's a great thing when you have resource and access 0:18:01.680 --> 0:18:03.120 to get the best care possible. 0:18:03.119 --> 0:18:04.600 And that's why people are like, well, why haven't they 0:18:04.640 --> 0:18:06.120 made a decision, Why. 0:18:06.359 --> 0:18:09.880 He's seeking out all resources because he hasn't quit, because 0:18:10.160 --> 0:18:13.320 because he hasn't quit. But the reality is, as an organization, 0:18:13.960 --> 0:18:16.280 there's a there's there's there's a there's a there's a 0:18:16.320 --> 0:18:17.919 point where you come to the top of the mountain. 0:18:18.000 --> 0:18:22.160 It's like, okay, what is the realistic expectation of this team? 0:18:22.680 --> 0:18:24.920 Does that change at all for you if if this 0:18:25.200 --> 0:18:25.960 game ends up. 0:18:25.920 --> 0:18:28.920 Yes, absolutely it does. Absolutely it does. 0:18:29.000 --> 0:18:30.960 I'm going if you go and win it, if you know, 0:18:31.000 --> 0:18:32.720 if you win this game, if you win this game, 0:18:32.840 --> 0:18:35.479 if you win this game, now you're in a situation, Okay, 0:18:35.680 --> 0:18:37.040 we can we have a fighting chance? 0:18:37.119 --> 0:18:39.600 Yes? Can we can legit fight? Yeah, we can legit fight. 0:18:39.640 --> 0:18:42.159 Our way and still sneak into the playoffs, right, Like, 0:18:42.200 --> 0:18:43.400 that's what you're trying to You just need. 0:18:43.320 --> 0:18:45.520 A game, you and you would have new found faith 0:18:45.560 --> 0:18:47.720 in yours and help. 0:18:47.560 --> 0:18:49.640 Us on the way, help us on the way. Mike 0:18:49.760 --> 0:18:51.480 is on the way, dB hopefully is on the way. 0:18:51.560 --> 0:18:55.240 D Laws hopefully help is on the way. But if 0:18:55.280 --> 0:18:58.200 you lose, you look at that help and you say, 0:18:58.240 --> 0:19:02.960 you know what, chill, chill, because we're just gonna We're 0:19:03.000 --> 0:19:05.480 just gonna take the ail this year. Let's make sure 0:19:05.520 --> 0:19:08.000 we're good for next year. Yeah, And that's just the reality. 0:19:08.040 --> 0:19:09.760 You don't have to like that as fans hearing that, 0:19:10.200 --> 0:19:12.080 but those are the business decisions that have to be 0:19:12.119 --> 0:19:14.399 made with any organization, and that just happens to be 0:19:14.440 --> 0:19:16.879 the conversations that are being most likely going to be 0:19:16.920 --> 0:19:19.720 had with the Dallas Cowboys after the result of this game. 0:19:20.240 --> 0:19:21.639 Yeah, let's let's talk. 0:19:21.480 --> 0:19:25.400 A little bit more on that, specifically about the Cowboys offense, 0:19:25.480 --> 0:19:29.720 because without Dak Prescott, it's gonna be different.

The Eagle is playing the Eagles. 0:24:27.640 --> 0:24:31.679 There's somebody that's very familiar on that side over there 0:24:31.720 --> 0:24:34.119 who just calls and pulls all the strings for the 0:24:34.119 --> 0:24:36.640 Philadelphia Eagles. And I remember a couple of years ago 0:24:36.880 --> 0:24:40.080 he was a coach for the Denver Broncos and there 0:24:40.160 --> 0:24:42.720 was a game where they had some success against Dallas Cowboys. 0:24:42.720 --> 0:24:46.840 And following that game, this individual with the initials VF. 0:24:46.920 --> 0:24:47.520 What did he say? 0:24:47.600 --> 0:24:51.280 Kyle said, it was the Blueprint saw the Blueprint had 0:24:51.359 --> 0:24:53.440 the answers to the test before the even. 0:24:53.400 --> 0:24:57.160 That's right, the Blueprint game, not Blue Streak where they're 0:24:57.200 --> 0:24:59.520 about to ruin a great game, a great movie by 0:24:59.560 --> 0:25:03.520 making a and one fact, it's ridiculous. But Vic Fundio 0:25:04.760 --> 0:25:07.240 is now the defensive coordinator for the Philadelphia Eagles. He 0:25:07.440 --> 0:25:10.919 just has You have those guys just like they just 0:25:10.960 --> 0:25:13.520 don't like you, Like there's some people that just don't 0:25:13.640 --> 0:25:16.320 like you, right, You don't know why they don't like you, 0:25:16.480 --> 0:25:17.560 They just have a beef with you. 0:25:17.800 --> 0:25:22.720 Yeah, I can't stand anybody, honestly. 0:25:22.800 --> 0:25:28.199 Yeah, one of them, two or three of those comments. 0:25:28.200 --> 0:25:31.560 But I will. I woke up this morning. Oh, yeah, 0:25:31.720 --> 0:25:37.000 no has on the hand, I forgot to put in 0:25:37.040 --> 0:25:37.640 this product. 0:25:38.840 --> 0:25:39.040 B K. 0:25:39.240 --> 0:25:40.159 Why just. 0:25:41.960 --> 0:25:43.840 Yeah, that's what I saw. That's when I saw the talk. 0:25:43.880 --> 0:25:50.280 That was that you said, I did no people's day, 0:25:50.400 --> 0:25:53.159 my friend, You're gonna see some random account with no 0:25:53.280 --> 0:25:54.880 name on it. 0:25:54.880 --> 0:26:01.200 Comment numbers, random we need Josh, Josh, that you should spend. 0:26:00.920 --> 0:26:02.800 A segment reading YouTube comments. 0:26:04.280 --> 0:26:07.600 Let's do it all the red hats. 0:26:08.040 --> 0:26:08.640 You know who you are. 0:26:08.840 --> 0:26:14.520 Yeah, but quit no. See I have a hamstring and 0:26:14.520 --> 0:26:15.399 it never happened to me. 0:26:15.920 --> 0:26:18.280 Vic Fangil has success against the Dallas Cowboys when he 0:26:18.359 --> 0:26:24.280 had half the talent that he has now half half. 0:26:24.480 --> 0:26:28.200 If if talent, if that's fair, he might. 0:26:30.640 --> 0:26:31.160 Different plans. 0:26:31.200 --> 0:26:33.080 I just don't like it. It's okay, I hear you. 0:26:33.200 --> 0:26:36.040 I say few things like that. Stop talking like that. 0:26:36.440 --> 0:26:42.280 From what I have seen on film, I am unimpressed schematically, 0:26:43.200 --> 0:26:49.880 but very impressed in terms of productivity. Very simplistic defense. 0:26:51.119 --> 0:26:54.840 I mean, I mean they're running this type of defense 0:26:55.760 --> 0:26:56.919 at Compel High. 0:26:56.760 --> 0:26:59.040 School right now, even if they're undefeated, so it must 0:26:59.080 --> 0:27:01.639 be working. But they're they're running this is high school 0:27:01.640 --> 0:27:02.080 type stuff. 0:27:02.119 --> 0:27:04.080 Cover two, deep, safety. 0:27:04.080 --> 0:27:10.120 Cover six, occasionally on third down situations. You know, cover one. 0:27:10.480 --> 0:27:12.399 That's not what they really want to do. That's not 0:27:12.440 --> 0:27:15.280 their thing. They don't do well with coverage in terms 0:27:15.320 --> 0:27:18.800 of man the man coverage. They'll play three occasionally. Usually 0:27:18.800 --> 0:27:22.359 when they're playing three is usually a running situation because 0:27:22.400 --> 0:27:26.200 they want to get their safety blinking Ship. 0:27:26.680 --> 0:27:29.360 They want to get him into the pocket. They want 0:27:29.359 --> 0:27:31.080 to get him down like that. 0:27:34.320 --> 0:27:42.000 Sorry, it was the at the end, it was sorry. 0:27:42.080 --> 0:27:47.560 Yeah, So the James Jones, James Jones Thomas. Yeah, so 0:27:47.560 --> 0:27:50.040 they want to get Blake and Ship into the box. 0:27:50.359 --> 0:27:53.040 That's what they really want to do. He They play 0:27:53.200 --> 0:27:55.880 two linebackers. So when you guys watch this defense, think 0:27:55.920 --> 0:27:56.800 back to Dan Quinn. 0:27:57.040 --> 0:27:57.400 Mm hmm. 0:27:58.359 --> 0:28:00.840 That's probably the best comparison that I make in regards 0:28:00.880 --> 0:28:03.399 to schematic, to the scheme and schematics, outside of the 0:28:03.400 --> 0:28:04.359 fact that they don't play a lot of. 0:28:04.359 --> 0:28:07.080 Many did we talk about that when Dan was hired 0:28:07.760 --> 0:28:10.800 kind of how they they did mirror each other specifically 0:28:10.840 --> 0:28:12.919 even back then, and that was without the talent and 0:28:12.960 --> 0:28:13.640 hold at hand. 0:28:13.720 --> 0:28:18.240 Yes, very much so we did. But they play two linebackers. Okay, 0:28:18.400 --> 0:28:21.280 they play four down linemen. They usually have a stand 0:28:21.359 --> 0:28:24.439 up in Joshwat likes to really stand up at the 0:28:24.480 --> 0:28:26.800 defensi end position. He is number nineteen. These guys keep 0:28:26.880 --> 0:28:29.320 changing their numbers makes it very difficult to track. But 0:28:29.600 --> 0:28:32.320 he is a He's a good player. 0:28:32.840 --> 0:28:34.320 Call it what it is. He's a good player. 0:28:34.359 --> 0:28:34.560 Man. 0:28:34.920 --> 0:28:36.520 Their defensive front is dangerous. 0:28:36.760 --> 0:28:37.280 I'm not going to. 0:28:37.320 --> 0:28:38.120 Sugarcoat it for you. 0:28:38.160 --> 0:28:38.440 Guys. 0:28:39.280 --> 0:28:44.400 They're they're nasty upfront. They're they're freaking nasty upfront. Not 0:28:44.440 --> 0:28:46.760 from the necessarily outside of Josh Wett. They don't have 0:28:47.040 --> 0:28:50.080 a lot of great pass rushers on the edges, but 0:28:50.160 --> 0:28:50.920 that interior. 0:28:51.240 --> 0:28:55.240 Oh my goodness, yeah, buddy, yeah, Like, get your Huggies, 0:28:55.280 --> 0:29:00.480 your Pampers, your dogs. I don't like the bull man dogs. 0:29:00.480 --> 0:29:02.160 The bulldogs are definitely an interior. 0:29:02.440 --> 0:29:04.440 That's not pretending Cowboys didn't have a chance. 0:29:05.040 --> 0:29:07.400 Let's not go there, Let's go down. There's numerous guys 0:29:07.400 --> 0:29:08.920 on this defense that the Cowboys had a shot. 0:29:08.960 --> 0:29:10.080 Wait, who are you referencing? 0:29:10.640 --> 0:29:12.120 Jaylen car One. 0:29:12.320 --> 0:29:14.320 And then the guy that stands behind him, Jordan Davis, 0:29:15.120 --> 0:29:17.360 Jayleen and Jordan. Yeah, I didn't they didn't have a 0:29:17.360 --> 0:29:19.360 shot to get those guys in the draft. They went 0:29:19.680 --> 0:29:20.480 way too high. 0:29:20.480 --> 0:29:22.360 What are you talking abou Jallen Carter. We did not 0:29:22.400 --> 0:29:22.840 have a chance. 0:29:23.320 --> 0:29:26.760 He was a thirty visit. They love you know. You 0:29:26.800 --> 0:29:29.240 know I'm still standing on for to Dan. Yes, yeah, 0:29:29.240 --> 0:29:30.239 they did have a chance for that. 0:29:30.240 --> 0:29:31.360 That was several times. 0:29:31.400 --> 0:29:34.560 That was an injury thing. Oh is it now? It was? Oh, 0:29:35.440 --> 0:29:37.680 that's why they didn't do Oh got you? 0:29:38.000 --> 0:29:40.960 I mean, am I saying that they were wrong in 0:29:41.080 --> 0:29:41.800 letting him pass. 0:29:41.960 --> 0:29:45.400 I was very vocal about that. Go back into history books. 0:29:45.440 --> 0:29:49.320 Yeah you were, Yes, really wanted Kobe Dean. 0:29:49.400 --> 0:29:50.520 I really. 0:29:52.160 --> 0:29:53.520 Was not get distracted here. 0:29:53.520 --> 0:29:54.040 Boys. 0:29:54.920 --> 0:29:57.960 The reality is regardless of cowboys had a shot or not, 0:29:58.120 --> 0:30:00.320 these guys are all happened to just fall on the 0:30:00.320 --> 0:30:06.280 same team. Crazy interior defensive line Jalen Carter, number ninety eight. 0:30:06.280 --> 0:30:11.239 A complete is complete, dude, like rifle coffee complete one 0:30:12.200 --> 0:30:14.720 six three, three hundred and fourteen pounds dude. 0:30:15.760 --> 0:30:17.920 Normally you have one dude on the defensive front. Right. 0:30:18.240 --> 0:30:20.920 Nah, they double down. They said, let's go get another 0:30:20.960 --> 0:30:23.000 guy by the name of Jordan Davis. Where does he 0:30:23.040 --> 0:30:24.160 go to school? Where do you go to school? 0:30:24.400 --> 0:30:24.520 Man? 0:30:24.600 --> 0:30:26.200 Let me tell you how Kirby recruits baby. 0:30:26.880 --> 0:30:30.800 Yeah, Jojia big boy to Jodge six six, three hundred 0:30:30.800 --> 0:30:35.600 and thirty six pounds of grown John coffee. 0:30:36.360 --> 0:30:40.280 It's a three mile over there, baby, just black rifle coffee, 0:30:41.240 --> 0:30:42.840 black rifle coffee. 0:30:42.920 --> 0:30:44.360 This segment is so off the right. 0:30:44.480 --> 0:30:47.320 Listen putting the big boys up front. Those two dudes, 0:30:48.200 --> 0:30:51.000 big big Jordan Davis. Okay, I call him big Baby Davis. 0:30:51.000 --> 0:30:52.480 I know he doesn't play basketball, but I call him 0:30:52.480 --> 0:30:56.400 big Baby Davis. The big fella. He requires two guys. 0:30:57.000 --> 0:30:59.880 He requires two guys standard. He's just too much John 0:31:00.040 --> 0:31:02.840 coffee for one man right next to him. 0:31:02.840 --> 0:31:05.240 He's the width of two guys. As it makes sense. 0:31:05.280 --> 0:31:08.400 Absolutely, he makes other large man look small. I don't 0:31:08.440 --> 0:31:10.280 know if anybody's ever seen like a large man. But oh, 0:31:10.320 --> 0:31:12.000 that's a big dude. Then a bigger dude walks up. 0:31:12.000 --> 0:31:15.520 You're like, I don't know what the title to put 0:31:15.520 --> 0:31:19.320 on that. Absolutely, so Jalen Carter is big as well, 0:31:19.320 --> 0:31:22.520 but he's quick. So think about a bigger Osa a 0:31:22.600 --> 0:31:28.080 diggie zula. Yep, think about a big bigger way, bigger way, 0:31:28.200 --> 0:31:33.600 bigger version of Osa diggi zuo, but just as quick. 0:31:32.440 --> 0:31:34.120 Because that's that's a mountain of a dude. 0:31:34.160 --> 0:31:37.360 Yeah yeah, OSAs quick. Yeah, that's my point. 0:31:37.560 --> 0:31:39.160 So you have those two big fellows in the middle, 0:31:39.160 --> 0:31:41.320 and they're a problem, and they are getting more QB 0:31:41.400 --> 0:31:45.240 pressures than you would ever imagine. They lost Reddick obviously 0:31:45.280 --> 0:31:47.160 he went he trade you know whatever, just got on 0:31:47.200 --> 0:31:47.880 the field for the Jets. 0:31:47.880 --> 0:31:50.200 So they don't have that. He had like seventeen pressures 0:31:50.200 --> 0:31:50.880 against Dallas. 0:31:50.920 --> 0:31:52.520 Like I said, so you don't have those book in 0:31:52.720 --> 0:31:55.920 defensive ends anymore. But you still have those two big fellas. 0:31:55.600 --> 0:31:59.080 In the middle, and you have Josh Sweat standing up. Now, 0:31:59.320 --> 0:31:59.880 why is that a pro? 0:32:00.280 --> 0:32:03.680 It's a problem because these guys don't have to blitz. No, 0:32:04.440 --> 0:32:07.120 they don't have to blitz. They are getting pressure on 0:32:07.160 --> 0:32:09.280 the quarterback. They when they do blitz, they usually bring 0:32:09.320 --> 0:32:12.520 one guy right and they're putting guys in the box. 0:32:12.560 --> 0:32:14.280 So even though they're playing two linebackers. I know what 0:32:14.320 --> 0:32:18.800 everybody's thinking, Oh, we could run the ball. You can't 0:32:18.880 --> 0:32:21.080 run the back as these guys. Man, these guys are 0:32:21.080 --> 0:32:24.440 top five and passing defense, top five in rushing defense. 0:32:24.680 --> 0:32:26.760 They don't allow They've had like they've allowed eight hundred 0:32:26.840 --> 0:32:27.800 yards rushing this year. 0:32:29.920 --> 0:32:32.880 That's it. That ain't good. That ain't good. Not good bye. 0:32:33.440 --> 0:32:38.440 There's a guy behind them that roam sidelined the sideline 0:32:38.680 --> 0:32:44.760 and loves contact. His name is Nana nicol Nico Nicole 0:32:45.000 --> 0:32:47.720 nicoleby Dean, What. 0:32:47.680 --> 0:32:48.400 School do you go to? 0:32:49.200 --> 0:32:52.200 Joe Crazy one of the most physical linebackers that you 0:32:52.240 --> 0:32:52.800 guys will see. 0:32:52.880 --> 0:32:56.520 Imagine very smart. 0:32:57.080 --> 0:33:02.880 Imagine a little bit bigger version of of de Marvio Overshown. 0:33:03.680 --> 0:33:04.880 That's how I would compare him. 0:33:05.080 --> 0:33:09.520 I wouldn't say as twitchy as Demo, but just as 0:33:09.560 --> 0:33:10.959 physical and bigger and bigger. 0:33:11.000 --> 0:33:13.960 He was a top fifteen draft prospect. He was on 0:33:14.040 --> 0:33:17.120 our draft magazine that year. He's he's and he dropped 0:33:17.120 --> 0:33:19.200 to the third round because of injury. He's in concerns 0:33:19.240 --> 0:33:21.120 physical specimen. He looks like a first round. 0:33:21.200 --> 0:33:24.480 It's also an academical American, which is smart. Smart dude, Yeah, 0:33:24.760 --> 0:33:27.480 I Q. And when he goes, he goes right, There's 0:33:27.480 --> 0:33:29.520 there's there space. You might have three or four yards 0:33:29.520 --> 0:33:31.680 between him, and then he just closes that gap immediately. 0:33:32.360 --> 0:33:34.640 The blanket ship cat is somebody that everybody needs to 0:33:34.640 --> 0:33:37.720 be concerned about. He's a He's an underrated safety in 0:33:37.720 --> 0:33:39.640 my opinion because of what he does. 0:33:39.760 --> 0:33:40.400 Imagine. 0:33:40.600 --> 0:33:42.520 I like making these comparisons because that's only way people 0:33:42.520 --> 0:33:47.200 could really understand what I'm referring to. Yeah, Donovan Wilson 0:33:47.280 --> 0:33:49.240 and dan Quinn's system. 0:33:49.400 --> 0:33:52.440 Okay, very impactful, Yes, probably more. 0:33:52.640 --> 0:33:53.840 We talked about that yesterday. 0:33:53.920 --> 0:33:58.680 Yeah, probably more effective and more impactful blankenship over Donno. 0:33:58.520 --> 0:34:00.320 And they give it to the people, so they something. 0:34:00.360 --> 0:34:03.600 Yeah, I mean blanking ship is a heat seeking missile. 0:34:03.600 --> 0:34:04.400 Absolutely, he is. 0:34:04.560 --> 0:34:05.200 That's what he is. 0:34:05.240 --> 0:34:07.680 Absolutely, and he's been that the last couple of years. 0:34:07.720 --> 0:34:09.920 But he's gotten better and smarter in the way that 0:34:09.960 --> 0:34:13.360 he attacked very much the film, right, he's yes, the 0:34:13.680 --> 0:34:15.959 film that he's put out there this year. He's taking 0:34:16.040 --> 0:34:19.040 that reckless abandon that he played with previously and he's 0:34:19.080 --> 0:34:21.719 bobbled it up into Just like I said. 0:34:21.520 --> 0:34:24.320 He's not just a he's not like an. 0:34:23.760 --> 0:34:27.120 Unguided missile anymore where it's just shooting blanks wherever. 0:34:26.880 --> 0:34:28.640 You can, more of a battles than a blank. 0:34:29.160 --> 0:34:30.120 Yeah. Nice. 0:34:30.320 --> 0:34:33.959 Yeah, he's an FTV he's an FPV drone now, okay, 0:34:34.280 --> 0:34:40.280 FTV access right, So defensively, schematically again not great, okay, 0:34:40.320 --> 0:34:42.560 but talent wise, it's they're off the charts. 0:34:42.560 --> 0:34:42.840 Okay. 0:34:43.000 --> 0:34:45.120 You got Darius Lay out there. He's he's all right 0:34:45.160 --> 0:34:48.200 to me, he's not. I'm not really convinced with their 0:34:48.239 --> 0:34:50.600 secondary right. But they played downhill, meaning they play off. 0:34:50.600 --> 0:34:51.839 They let you get it in front of him. They're 0:34:51.840 --> 0:34:54.520 gonna come downhill. They want to hit you. There are gaps. 0:34:54.560 --> 0:34:57.280 The one weakness that I am seeing in their defense 0:34:57.360 --> 0:34:59.959 right now is they do not adjust well to motion 0:35:00.120 --> 0:35:01.160 and pre snap shifts. 0:35:01.760 --> 0:35:04.080 They don't adjust well. Oh good thing. The Cowboys run 0:35:04.120 --> 0:35:06.759 a ton of that stuff. Yeah, So hopefully that's the 0:35:06.800 --> 0:35:09.360 game plan this week. Sorry. So there's two things that 0:35:09.360 --> 0:35:10.040 I'm hopeful for. 0:35:10.120 --> 0:35:12.719 I'm hopeful that coach McCarthy's seeing the same thing that 0:35:12.760 --> 0:35:13.160 i'm seeing. 0:35:13.560 --> 0:35:15.920 Kay and Brian Shottearm. I'm praying that. 0:35:15.880 --> 0:35:19.080 They see that you can get some leverage and you 0:35:19.160 --> 0:35:22.120 can get to windows of opportunity within his zone defense 0:35:22.160 --> 0:35:26.000 by shifting and motioning your guys because they don't adjust well. 0:35:26.320 --> 0:35:28.560 They don't bump over enough. They don't adjust us. If 0:35:28.600 --> 0:35:30.680 I move a guy across the formation, they stay in zone. 0:35:30.800 --> 0:35:33.000 They don't bump out enough. I can get outside of 0:35:33.040 --> 0:35:36.160 their linebackers, outside of their down safety and run routes 0:35:36.200 --> 0:35:38.960 into their voids in his own defense. That's something that 0:35:39.000 --> 0:35:41.960 I'm seeing on film. The other thing that I'm hopeful 0:35:42.000 --> 0:35:45.880 for is that that Vic Fangio's dis hate, his hate 0:35:45.880 --> 0:35:47.680 for the Dallas Cowboys and so high that all of 0:35:47.719 --> 0:35:50.600 a sudden he starts blitzing and creates voids that haven't 0:35:50.600 --> 0:35:52.759 been present on their defense. Those are the two things 0:35:52.800 --> 0:35:55.479 that I'm hopeful for, because right now their defensive line 0:35:55.520 --> 0:35:57.960 is more dominant than our offensive line. Right now, they 0:35:57.960 --> 0:36:00.880 have more talent on defense than we have on offense, 0:36:01.520 --> 0:36:04.440 and they are playing sound, They're not making a lot 0:36:04.480 --> 0:36:05.000 of mistakes. 0:36:05.120 --> 0:36:07.719 So that alluded to this yesterday and that like, he's 0:36:07.800 --> 0:36:11.440 hoping that one of our best chances is that Philadelphia 0:36:11.600 --> 0:36:14.239 is unfocused. They're They're like, oh, we got him. It's 0:36:14.280 --> 0:36:16.360 the Cowboys that's overconfidence. 0:36:17.040 --> 0:36:17.319 Going to. 0:36:18.840 --> 0:36:21.799 I talked to Philadelphia Radio last night. I was on 0:36:21.840 --> 0:36:25.520 a hit with them in Philly Insurgent. Yeah, trying to 0:36:25.560 --> 0:36:29.360 get some inside information here. They One of the hosts 0:36:29.440 --> 0:36:32.279 on the show that I was on was saying that 0:36:32.719 --> 0:36:35.759 they are more locked in this week than they had 0:36:35.800 --> 0:36:39.120 been all year, and that's saying something to. 0:36:39.360 --> 0:36:41.919 They basically said, we don't care about the record. It's 0:36:41.960 --> 0:36:42.840 the Cowboys. 0:36:42.960 --> 0:36:45.920 We've gone back and forth and which is personal, so 0:36:46.840 --> 0:36:49.839 it kind of goes along with my thought process is like, yeah, 0:36:49.920 --> 0:36:51.680 it doesn't matter if the Cowboys are three and five, 0:36:51.760 --> 0:36:54.040 they still have the star, they still have the attention. 0:36:54.280 --> 0:36:56.279 And Philadelphia wants to come and embarrass you. 0:36:56.480 --> 0:37:01.160 Ah, isn't there another coach there on the officer? You 0:37:01.360 --> 0:37:04.160 talk about that yesterday? We really didn't talk about it, 0:37:04.400 --> 0:37:07.280 not at length. Yeah, yeah, he might not have anything 0:37:07.400 --> 0:37:08.320 against the Cowboys. 0:37:09.360 --> 0:37:10.480 Vendetta if you will. 0:37:10.920 --> 0:37:12.759 Cowboys already beat him last year when he was with 0:37:12.800 --> 0:37:14.600 the Chargers his relief of his duties. 0:37:14.920 --> 0:37:16.920 Yes, well, after that, interesting. 0:37:18.880 --> 0:37:23.000 Let's take our second break when we come back. How 0:37:23.000 --> 0:37:25.840 does Cooper Rush come back? What we just outlined in 0:37:25.960 --> 0:37:28.680 terms of this defense, How does Cooper Rush have success? 0:37:28.719 --> 0:37:31.799 How does Dallas have success going up against this Philadelphia 0:37:31.840 --> 0:37:33.800 defense when we come back with more talking Cowboys. 0:37:33.880 --> 0:37:37.239 Right after this, Todd thought it would be secure to 0:37:37.320 --> 0:37:39.919 jog in the cheatah Savannah.

Josh, I'm gonna 0:40:15.920 --> 0:40:17.560 start with you, what. 0:40:17.160 --> 0:40:18.280 What is one element? 0:40:19.480 --> 0:40:23.080 What is one element that Cooper Rush can bring to 0:40:23.120 --> 0:40:26.759 the table that allows them to be successful against Philadelphia 0:40:26.800 --> 0:40:27.120 this week? 0:40:27.200 --> 0:40:28.359 I think we just addressed it. 0:40:28.400 --> 0:40:31.360 I think we just addressed it with motion, getting CD 0:40:31.440 --> 0:40:34.960 out in space, getting the I liked how you opened 0:40:35.040 --> 0:40:37.760 the game against the Atlanta Falcons, where you're you're throwing 0:40:37.960 --> 0:40:42.000 quick not screen passes, but short passes down the field, 0:40:42.040 --> 0:40:44.480 short completions and just getting the ball forward. 0:40:45.000 --> 0:40:46.759 That's I think that's how you do it. You do 0:40:46.800 --> 0:40:47.280 it quickly. 0:40:47.560 --> 0:40:50.759 You don't let the pass rush have an advantage to 0:40:50.800 --> 0:40:53.239 get to you. You don't give them the opportunity. I 0:40:53.239 --> 0:40:55.880 think I would love to see a big game from 0:40:55.960 --> 0:40:59.560 Rico in this one, and not just the rushing game, 0:40:59.600 --> 0:41:02.080 but in receiving as well. I would love to see 0:41:02.760 --> 0:41:05.640 Hunter liftkey for sure, and I think you can challenge 0:41:05.680 --> 0:41:08.160 these cornerbacks. I think you can challenge Cooper de Gene. 0:41:08.400 --> 0:41:09.680 I don't think he's always cracked up to. 0:41:09.680 --> 0:41:10.320 Me, he's not. 0:41:11.719 --> 0:41:13.319 You can out leverage these guys, you can get these 0:41:13.320 --> 0:41:16.600 guys out on the on the edges. I think Cooper 0:41:16.680 --> 0:41:18.960 Rush is going to have more success than people believe. 0:41:19.520 --> 0:41:22.120 I truly do. He came in to take He came 0:41:22.160 --> 0:41:26.239 into that game dropping dimes, he was anticipating, he was doing. 0:41:25.960 --> 0:41:27.839 All the things non zero. 0:41:27.960 --> 0:41:29.919 He's cool, calm and collected man. As the other side 0:41:29.920 --> 0:41:31.880 of the pillow respect him. I have a high regard 0:41:31.920 --> 0:41:34.719 for his preparation. What he had to come in and 0:41:34.760 --> 0:41:37.759 do last week was not easy, and he should have 0:41:37.960 --> 0:41:43.360 had a pretty solid statistics, statistically solid game. But guys 0:41:43.400 --> 0:41:45.719 just did not take advantage of opportunities that afforded to them. 0:41:45.760 --> 0:41:47.480 And there's no hesitation on his either. 0:41:47.520 --> 0:41:49.960 He does not hesitate. He anticipates. That's what I like 0:41:50.000 --> 0:41:52.239 about him. He trusts what he's supposed to be doing. 0:41:52.320 --> 0:41:54.400 He depends on you to do your job. So I 0:41:54.440 --> 0:41:56.520 think that he'll have some success there. It's going to 0:41:56.560 --> 0:41:58.880 come down to this old line. It's all going to 0:41:58.920 --> 0:42:01.359 come down to this old line. Time, just time, man, 0:42:01.400 --> 0:42:03.160 and I'm not sure the time will be afforded. 0:42:03.360 --> 0:42:06.799 And that's that leads me to what I'm about to say. So, 0:42:07.719 --> 0:42:09.239 first of all, I like like I said, I said, 0:42:09.440 --> 0:42:13.440 Cooper Rush is more often than not far more successful 0:42:13.440 --> 0:42:16.440 than people would anticipate ahead of time. Right, He's one 0:42:16.480 --> 0:42:19.080 of arguably the best backup quarterback in the league. 0:42:19.640 --> 0:42:22.080 I call him cool hand Luke. He never gets low, 0:42:22.280 --> 0:42:23.080 never gets high. 0:42:23.120 --> 0:42:27.240 It's just always even kel right there, right, five and one. 0:42:28.040 --> 0:42:33.680 He is accurate most certainly right. Problem is twofold for me. 0:42:33.960 --> 0:42:38.279 One When he was helping to manage those games to 0:42:38.360 --> 0:42:40.879 wins in the absence of Dak Prescott, when Dak had 0:42:40.920 --> 0:42:43.799 the calf injury, he was tethered to a defense that 0:42:43.880 --> 0:42:45.759 was playing at an elite level and took the ball 0:42:45.800 --> 0:42:48.120 away quite a bit. It's the defense doing either one 0:42:48.160 --> 0:42:50.160 of those two things right now, not at all. He 0:42:50.239 --> 0:42:52.480 was also playing behind an offensive line that was at 0:42:52.560 --> 0:42:56.720 least solid. Is that what we're talking about now? No, Okay, 0:42:56.840 --> 0:43:01.400 play tray lance, Oh, play tray lance. It doesn't have 0:43:01.480 --> 0:43:03.759 to be a full unleashing of Trey Lance in the 0:43:04.080 --> 0:43:06.120 capacity of because first of all, let me be clear, 0:43:06.200 --> 0:43:09.479 Mike McCarthy has already stated. The rotation is Cooper Rush 0:43:09.560 --> 0:43:10.520 is going to start. 0:43:10.480 --> 0:43:12.799 And Trey Lances start. Lance. 0:43:13.160 --> 0:43:14.920 It's not what I'm saying. I'm saying play him. 0:43:15.320 --> 0:43:17.520 When I say unleash him, I mean unleash him. Even 0:43:17.560 --> 0:43:20.400 if it's just packages. You're going to need his mobility 0:43:20.480 --> 0:43:23.800 for all the things that Isaiah said that we're terrifying 0:43:23.920 --> 0:43:26.640 when it comes to the Jalen Carters, Jordan Davis's uh 0:43:26.960 --> 0:43:30.759 Nakobe Deans, and then blanket shit, he didn't even mention 0:43:30.960 --> 0:43:35.560 Josh Sweat. Josh Sweat leads the Andings in pressures coming 0:43:35.640 --> 0:43:37.880 off of the edge, leads the Eagles with five sacks 0:43:37.960 --> 0:43:40.680 coming off of the edge. My point being, all of 0:43:40.840 --> 0:43:45.000 these weapons are coming at an offensive line who hasn't 0:43:45.040 --> 0:43:48.439 been protecting well against the non blitz right, just playing 0:43:48.480 --> 0:43:52.280 straight up, they've not been protecting well. So when Vangio 0:43:52.400 --> 0:43:54.200 does bring one or two guys every once in a 0:43:54.239 --> 0:43:57.719 while to mix it up. Cooper has some mobility. He's 0:43:57.800 --> 0:44:00.120 not a statue. He has some mobility, but I I 0:44:00.200 --> 0:44:03.880 equate his mobility a little bit to Dak Prescott, whereas 0:44:03.960 --> 0:44:08.239 with Trey Lance you have pure mobility and escapability. Now 0:44:08.320 --> 0:44:11.600 what you're going to give up. There is the accuracy. Okay, 0:44:11.920 --> 0:44:13.799 that's where you got to get creative here. And that's 0:44:13.840 --> 0:44:16.600 why I say, I'm not saying put Trey Lance as 0:44:16.640 --> 0:44:19.440 the starter, but I feel like there should be some 0:44:19.600 --> 0:44:22.880 type of package, several packages there for Trey Lance, read options, 0:44:22.920 --> 0:44:25.439 things like that. You have to keep that pass rush 0:44:25.560 --> 0:44:29.080 off balance, keep those linebackers off balance. So the best 0:44:29.160 --> 0:44:32.359 way to help Cooper Rush succeed in a situation where 0:44:32.440 --> 0:44:34.839 his defense, the Cowboys defense, is not taking the ball 0:44:34.880 --> 0:44:37.080 away and the offensive line for the Cowboys is not 0:44:37.160 --> 0:44:40.440 protecting consistently is to throw Trey Lance in there every 0:44:40.480 --> 0:44:42.319 once in a while to mix things up and keep 0:44:42.520 --> 0:44:43.640 Fangio off balance. 0:44:44.000 --> 0:44:45.880 That's how you help Cooper Rush succeed. 0:44:46.480 --> 0:44:49.480 Question though, is there any I love the idea? I 0:44:49.560 --> 0:44:52.160 love it. I would love to see that. However, is there. 0:44:52.120 --> 0:44:55.719 Anything about this offense that says, absolutely, let's throw some 0:44:55.760 --> 0:44:56.239 packages in. 0:44:56.239 --> 0:44:57.279 There for Tree Lance in this game? 0:44:57.360 --> 0:44:57.719 Thus far? 0:44:57.840 --> 0:45:00.560 Though, the one thing to this is what I know, 0:45:01.440 --> 0:45:04.480 and I like, I don't anticipate it happening at all, 0:45:05.120 --> 0:45:07.160 but I feel like it needs to happen. 0:45:08.480 --> 0:45:09.160 What do you have to lose? 0:45:09.360 --> 0:45:10.200 What do you have to lose? 0:45:10.280 --> 0:45:11.680 The offense needs. 0:45:11.440 --> 0:45:15.600 An insurgent of like electricity and unpredictability. 0:45:16.040 --> 0:45:18.200 The one thing that this offense says to me that 0:45:18.360 --> 0:45:21.200 allows for packages like that and allows for the usage 0:45:21.200 --> 0:45:22.880 of Trey Lance is what we just talked about with 0:45:22.920 --> 0:45:23.640 the offensive line. 0:45:23.680 --> 0:45:24.960 The offensive line has been so bad. 0:45:25.520 --> 0:45:29.319 If you do have any sliver of concern that you're 0:45:29.360 --> 0:45:30.799 not going to be able to run the ball, which 0:45:30.800 --> 0:45:33.600 I think is significant, you haven't been able to do that. 0:45:34.200 --> 0:45:35.319 I've got a concern there. 0:45:35.719 --> 0:45:37.600 And if if you have a sliver of concern that 0:45:37.640 --> 0:45:39.480 Cooper Rush is not going to be able to navigate 0:45:39.520 --> 0:45:43.120 a dirty pocket, then use Trey Lance at times just 0:45:43.200 --> 0:45:46.839 to help negate that. I'm okay with packages. I don't 0:45:46.880 --> 0:45:48.600 want to take the ball out of Cooper Rush's hands 0:45:48.640 --> 0:45:51.759 for complete drives at a time, for complete quarters or 0:45:52.160 --> 0:45:53.880 elements of the game, and the rest. 0:45:55.640 --> 0:45:56.920 At arm absolutely and he. 0:45:57.040 --> 0:45:59.799 Has the stripes on the wall, but a change up 0:45:59.840 --> 0:46:00.440 here are in there? 0:46:00.560 --> 0:46:02.040 I mean, especially in the red zone? 0:46:02.440 --> 0:46:05.120 How many how many preseason games did Trey Lance play? 0:46:05.480 --> 0:46:05.640 All? 0:46:05.719 --> 0:46:08.480 Three? Three three? Right? We're how many games into the 0:46:08.520 --> 0:46:12.240 season right now? Eight eight eight games into the season. 0:46:12.360 --> 0:46:15.560 You know how many players have had as many rushing 0:46:15.640 --> 0:46:18.680 yards this season for the Dallas Cowboys in the eight 0:46:18.800 --> 0:46:21.279 games this season, you know how many guys on this 0:46:21.480 --> 0:46:23.600 roster have as many rushing yards as Trey Lance did 0:46:23.640 --> 0:46:24.360 in the preseason? 0:46:24.440 --> 0:46:24.960 Maybe one? 0:46:25.400 --> 0:46:28.719 One guy's name is Rico Dwell. Yeah, everyone else not great. 0:46:28.719 --> 0:46:31.120 But I know it's the preseason. I know it's different 0:46:31.239 --> 0:46:33.440 and numbers don't necessarily carry the same way. 0:46:33.520 --> 0:46:35.400 That's a quarterback we're talking about in the preseason. 0:46:35.480 --> 0:46:36.080 That's a quarterback. 0:46:36.120 --> 0:46:38.080 We're not talking about a running back or a wide 0:46:38.120 --> 0:46:40.359 receiver that's utilized as deebos Amuel or whatever. 0:46:40.560 --> 0:46:41.720 You're talking about a quarterback. 0:46:41.800 --> 0:46:44.040 And he has he had more rushing yards in those 0:46:44.080 --> 0:46:47.279 three preseason games than everyone else on your roster right 0:46:47.360 --> 0:46:48.160 now through eight games. 0:46:48.760 --> 0:46:51.120 Use him, set Rico, Absolutely use him. 0:46:51.160 --> 0:46:54.920 But then the other side of that is you need 0:46:55.040 --> 0:46:58.799 to evaluate him on her twenty twenty five. You need 0:46:58.920 --> 0:47:02.200 to know while you're sitting here paying him five million 0:47:02.239 --> 0:47:07.000 dollars right now, you need to see exactly five million dollars. 0:47:07.239 --> 0:47:09.040 You need to see what you have for him for 0:47:09.120 --> 0:47:11.719 twenty twenty five. So when I say mixing some packages 0:47:11.800 --> 0:47:14.640 like the read options and designed runs, I'm also saying 0:47:14.680 --> 0:47:16.720 give him an opportunity to come out of those sometimes 0:47:16.760 --> 0:47:19.400 and throw the ball downfield as well, Right, because one thing, 0:47:19.760 --> 0:47:22.560 just bring him in. One thing I've noticed about Cooper Rush, 0:47:22.600 --> 0:47:25.279 For as accurate as he is, five million, For as 0:47:25.320 --> 0:47:28.799 accurate as he is, he's he's more risk averse than 0:47:29.040 --> 0:47:31.480 Dak Prescott is as far as throwing the ball downfield. 0:47:31.719 --> 0:47:33.719 So Cooper will take his shots every once in a while, 0:47:33.880 --> 0:47:37.320 but as far as taking the top off consistently getting 0:47:37.320 --> 0:47:39.239 in shootouts and things like that, that's not Cooper Rush 0:47:39.360 --> 0:47:41.480 is back. Right, So I feel like in order for 0:47:41.520 --> 0:47:43.840 the Cowboys to have any kind of chance against the 0:47:43.880 --> 0:47:47.040 Eagles in these and the three games that follow, they're 0:47:47.080 --> 0:47:49.360 going to have to mix things up with a combination 0:47:49.560 --> 0:47:51.200 of Cooper Rush and Trey Lance. 0:47:51.640 --> 0:47:58.120 Is where I'm at with it. Five million divided by seventeen. 0:47:59.360 --> 0:48:03.360 Yeah, war missil arm up. 0:48:03.520 --> 0:48:06.480 This is last year's contract. Yeah, last year of his contract. 0:48:06.920 --> 0:48:08.640 I would agree wholeheartedly with you guys. 0:48:08.680 --> 0:48:11.960 If this was before the trade deadline, it's not gonna happen. 0:48:13.520 --> 0:48:16.680 And yeah, and it goes back to what we talked 0:48:16.680 --> 0:48:19.080 about earlier in the week to Mike McCarthy gave away 0:48:19.120 --> 0:48:19.439 a fourth. 0:48:20.080 --> 0:48:24.839 Here we go Mike McCarthy, is we gotta go all right? 0:48:24.920 --> 0:48:28.279 Goodbye for Patrick Walker, Josh Roderigue, is Isaiah stand back? 0:48:28.360 --> 0:48:29.839 Chris beat in the backup, cal Ye, and we'll see 0:48:29.840 --> 0:48:31.240 you tomorrow with more Talking Cowboys. 0:48:32.440 --> 0:48:35.360 This has been a production of dallascowboys dot Com and 0:48:35.560 --> 0:48:37.399 the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
