Okay, everybody's doing well here today. We're gonna 0:01:51.120 --> 0:01:53.880 fix them. We're gonna fix a football team today. Talk 0:01:53.920 --> 0:01:58.200 about some things, all right, all right, and David, before 0:01:58.240 --> 0:02:00.640 we get started, Yeah, I need you to do something 0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:02.480 for me. What do you need? I need you to 0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:05.400 kind of go through the practice report yesterday of injuries 0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:07.880 because there's gonna be some key things happening here that 0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:11.359 we're gonna need to get into. Pertaining a Sean Lee, 0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:15.000 pertaining a Zach Martin pertaining a Connor Wims guys like that. 0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:18.160 How about this one, which I will readily admit I 0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:22.880 missed this yesterday. Okay, we're so fixated on the Cowboys. Yeah, 0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:26.080 it is Friday morning and t Y Hilton has not 0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:28.880 practiced for the Colts yet. Yeah, just something to watch, 0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:31.000 there's something to watch. But why do I feel like 0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:33.240 that cat's going to show up? Because they always do, 0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:35.639 they always do, And how do you play him? Yeah 0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:38.520 he might be. He's listed with an ankle, but DNP 0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:42.079 on Wednesday and Thursday. That's true. Anyway, all right, back 0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:45.040 to the Cowboys. Yeah, Zeke Elliott is back to practice. 0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:47.639 He took a rest day. He's fine. Yeah. Randy Gregory 0:02:47.760 --> 0:02:50.960 missed for a non injury related reason. We probably figure 0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:55.079 that's yeah, yeah, something he's having to deal with off 0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:58.320 the field maintenance. Marinelli said he'd be back today. Here 0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:01.520 we go. It's yeah, that's a thing. Uh. Sean Lee 0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:04.080 limited for the second day in a row, hamstring working 0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:07.280 his way back. Tyrant Smith limited, still dealing with his stinger. 0:03:07.800 --> 0:03:12.440 No Jeff Swain obviously, No David Irving obviously. Tavon Austin 0:03:12.600 --> 0:03:16.959 also limited. Okay, so we got that practice report, Nate, 0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:21.040 how we handling Sean Lee this week? Just uh, letting 0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:24.919 him miss this week? You think he's gonna miss He 0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:27.600 don't want to, Yeah, but for the good of him, 0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:29.519 let him miss this week. You know a lot of 0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:32.520 people say when he's ready, he's ready. Yeah, no, no, 0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:36.520 no, no no, it's been six Let him strain, give him 0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:41.080 a hard strain today. Yeah, and if he goes through 0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:44.160 that real well, then next week just let him. Let 0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:47.080 him fly around and practice, give him his reps and 0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:48.840 if you get through that, and then he'll be ready 0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:51.480 for the next week. David Helmet pitch count there. If 0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:53.840 we do get him back this week, I kind of 0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:56.320 think he is gonna play this week. That's that's what 0:03:56.360 --> 0:03:59.360 I lean toward. And I would ye'll know better than me. 0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:01.720 But I'm no, no, no, no, you're no no, You're 0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:03.480 a part of this. You're part of what I'm saying 0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:06.840 for is y'all y'all go over and talking and you 0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:08.800 know what I'm saying. Do you eat lunching there with 0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:11.600 those guys? You see it? I just that, you know, 0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:16.680 I just believe that another week. Every time he's went 0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:19.279 out over the last four years, it seemed like he's 0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:23.880 gets shorter, the period of being in to the game shorter. Yeah, 0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:26.479 so I would give him an ex restrain him, you know, 0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:30.720 over exert him. Yeah, let that leg get tired, yeah, 0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:32.680 you know, and then see how it reacts. You know. 0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:34.480 That's what That's just what I and I'm not saying 0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:37.159 they haven't already done that over a period of two weeks. Right, 0:04:37.360 --> 0:04:39.720 That's what I would do. David Hellman, you're saying play him. 0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:42.440 I'm saying I think he will play, and if he does, 0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:45.480 I'm not playing him more than twenty five spitch counting him. Hunh. 0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:48.360 Rob Phillips, Yeah, I think I could definitely see him playing. 0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:50.279 Although I'm kind of with Nate, and I said this 0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:52.479 on our show yesterday. If you get towards the end 0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:56.600 of the week and he hasn't responded just one percent perfect, 0:04:56.680 --> 0:04:58.920 if he feel like maybe you need another week, then 0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:01.880 do it. Because the odds are still in your favor 0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:03.919 that you're gonna win this division at some point. You 0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:06.560 don't have to rush him back, and they're and they're 0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:08.680 not rushing him back, so they're not You're right, Yeah, 0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:10.680 but you could you could give it another week, like 0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:13.080 Nate said, and maybe ramp up practice next week. But 0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:15.040 we'll see if he has a great day of practice 0:05:15.040 --> 0:05:18.240 and everything responds Saturday, then play him, play him. Yeah, Dave, 0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:21.239 Why am I taking Layton Vanderesh off the field? You don't? 0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:26.640 You don't. Oh that was to day. I'll feel strongly 0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:28.600 and I appreciate that. I want to see you jump 0:05:28.600 --> 0:05:31.880 in and attack him when that happens. Yeah, Uh, you're 0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:34.440 taking Layton vander Esh off the field because this isn't 0:05:34.520 --> 0:05:38.320 quarterback again. Oh you're listening to Garrett and talk about 0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:41.039 things and walk off, don't. I don't need a congratulations. 0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:43.239 I don't need Jason Garrett to tell me common sense 0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:45.960 first of all. Okay, Nates are common sense on this show. 0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:48.720 What have we been saying. I don't know about y'all. 0:05:48.720 --> 0:05:52.160 Since April, I've been saying you need three to play too, right, Okay, 0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:55.280 And it has proven true to this point because Sean 0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:58.080 Lee got hurt, which is not the biggest surprise ever, 0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:01.640 but it's it's it's a physical position. It's a position 0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:04.760 that plays a lot of snaps, and I just there's 0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:06.159 got to be a way that you can make room 0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:08.480 for all three of these guys. They've only all three 0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:11.839 been healthy once since vander Esh took the starting spot, 0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:14.000 and I believe, off the top of my head, I 0:06:14.000 --> 0:06:16.840 think the snap breakdown was Lee got thirty eight snaps 0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:19.039 and vander Esh got twenty one. I think it's way 0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:21.919 more likely you would see that flipped. Shawn Lee is 0:06:21.920 --> 0:06:23.839 still a hell of a football player when he's healthy, 0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:26.480 and he's instinctual, and he can still make those types 0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:29.520 of plays. So there's a spot for him on the field. Phillips, 0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:31.760 I'm with Dave. You don't have to overwork him, give 0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:34.560 him forty snaps, you could give him twenty. Work him in, 0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:37.599 manage him, get him to the playoffs, assuming you get there. 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:39.679 I love the point you made the other day about 0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:43.320 that Darren Sprowles play the other night that Philly on 0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:46.560 fourth and two. There, my friend, instinctual. That's a good word, Dave. 0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:48.599 Sean Lee is that he made a hell of a 0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:50.800 play against Darren Sprowles in an Eagles game not that 0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:53.080 long ago. Yeah, one him the game. I think Layton 0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:55.400 Vanderesh is one of those things where you know, Sean 0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:57.960 Lee a fourth and two was looking as huh, I 0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:01.839 haven't seen Darren Sprowls much out here. Something's up here. 0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:03.760 You know. I'm gonna play a little wider here and 0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:06.520 hope that that all. Sean Jeffrey is not gonna crack 0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:10.480 me here. You know, that's a learning experience for Layton Vander. 0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:12.920 But I don't want my badass rookie off the field either. 0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:14.920 I mean I want him to play and continue to 0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:17.120 grow because he's he's not hurting you, he's helping you 0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:21.800 a lot. Nate Newton, I've got a question for you. 0:07:21.800 --> 0:07:24.640 You're just throwing fastballs at us. Let you say this 0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:34.000 right here? Uh, Jay Joe Buck said, Troy Wow, suck Yeah, yeah, 0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:37.760 TV Joe Buck Joe He said, Man, that Layton kid 0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:40.520 is awesome. Yeah. Man, what do you do with when? 0:07:40.800 --> 0:07:44.360 When when Sean Lee come back? Play Layton? I mean, yeah, 0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:51.600 Troy play Layton? Yeah, you knows. And I'm gonna say this, 0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:56.160 there's room for all of them, all right, but if 0:07:56.160 --> 0:07:59.440 he's sixty snaps, yeah, I have to see Layton for 0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:01.560 forty of them. I agree. I completely agree with what 0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:03.720 Nature said. And I'll tell you what you guys, I'm 0:08:03.760 --> 0:08:06.080 not I'm seeing what's going on here, Robbie. You with 0:08:06.120 --> 0:08:09.600 these cats, No, totally because I think you guys throwing 0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:13.720 dirt on Sean Lee. He's trying to leave. You're trying 0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:16.040 to get him to the playoffs and hopefully through the 0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:19.280 playoffs in a run. And but and he's heard it twice. 0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:22.320 Don't overdo it with him. You don't have to anymore. 0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:33.199 It's like a frog leading the parade with thes yourself. 0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:37.280 This right here, dude, we really know? Did we really 0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:42.000 know the hamstring situation? Because the hamstring could be because 0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:47.079 he's an older guy. Now is because once he gets 0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:50.720 stiff Okay, we tell let's say he gets ten plays. Yeah, 0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:53.160 he gets on the sideline and he's sitting there for 0:08:53.280 --> 0:08:57.199 two series. Willis stiffness getting good? Point? So is it 0:08:57.240 --> 0:09:03.520 fatigue that's getting no better than us? But you know what, 0:09:04.120 --> 0:09:06.000 I got a free mind when late not there. Hey, 0:09:06.080 --> 0:09:07.920 let me ask all right, let me ask you this, guys, 0:09:08.280 --> 0:09:10.880 Let me ask you this one. Sean Lee, the ultimate 0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:13.400 teammate to Shaun Lee, take a back seat now and 0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:15.959 does he see what's going on here with this rookie 0:09:16.440 --> 0:09:18.840 and say, you know what, maybe I do need to 0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:21.840 take the dirt no whitsky off the bench, roll that 0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:24.800 kind of thing coming off, you know, six man role. Well, 0:09:24.920 --> 0:09:27.040 maybe they got a good thing, am I. I like that. 0:09:27.040 --> 0:09:31.080 Comparis is a great man. But he could he be 0:09:31.120 --> 0:09:34.240 the ultimate teammate here? That not rock the apple cart. 0:09:34.440 --> 0:09:36.679 That's kind of the terrible saying, by the way, that's 0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:38.200 kind of the beauty of it, Isn't it that like 0:09:38.240 --> 0:09:41.880 this isn't quarterback like Sean Lee could play the first series? 0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:45.040 Oh no, no, I'm asking I'm asking you, guys, start, 0:09:45.120 --> 0:09:47.480 I'm asking you would he would you think that Sean 0:09:47.600 --> 0:09:50.520 Lee would be the ultimate teammates and let vander esh 0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:52.560 and those guys play the majority of snaps and play 0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:54.480 him as they need him. Yes, I do think that. 0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:59.400 And there's Nikel. Yeah, that's why he's needed more. Oh, 0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:02.000 you can make you can make him big on certain 0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:05.680 goal line plays, yeah, I mean down play. Yeah, it's 0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:09.559 spots where where he where he can be truly effective, 0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:12.760 you know. Yeah, And so we don't. But the great 0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:16.600 thing about it is everybody over there when it comes 0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:19.680 to Shawn Lee knows what the situation is. He knows 0:10:19.679 --> 0:10:23.000 it more than anybody. So yeah, and nobody has been 0:10:23.000 --> 0:10:26.080 helping Layton more than Seawan Lee except for you know, 0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:29.040 Ben Bloom. The lineback. There's you know, Rob, You're right 0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:32.160 down the right track and join it. Late Layton told 0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:35.000 us last week he's my big brother. Feel like I've 0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:36.920 known him my whole life. That's not lip service. That's 0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:39.960 a guy that's willing to he knows this kid's gonna 0:10:40.000 --> 0:10:42.160 be here for a long time. Yeah, and he's still 0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:43.719 helping him as much as you can. I don't want 0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:45.840 to put words in Sean Lee's mouth. I haven't talked 0:10:45.840 --> 0:10:48.480 to him about this but chance today. But I'll get 0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:50.719 a chance today. That's true. We got business to it 0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:55.000 and too. But um, I've talked to Sean Lee about 0:10:55.040 --> 0:10:58.959 his injury problems enough times in his career, like he 0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:04.280 feels guilty about, you know, his availability or out there 0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:06.439 off like it's got pride. It's not lost on him. 0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:08.280 He says it every time we talk to him. Yeah, 0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:10.679 you gotta stay healthy. I haven't stayed healthy. Yeah. And 0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:13.120 and so do you think this is why he will 0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:16.559 take the kind of the BP. Yes, Yeah, I think 0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:18.360 he'll do whatever he has to because he's such a 0:11:18.400 --> 0:11:21.280 great team player. And not only that, but you know, 0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:25.800 this is could be again. I don't want to speak 0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:27.960 too certainly. This very likely could be like his last 0:11:27.960 --> 0:11:30.760 shot at a playoff run with this team, or maybe 0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:33.679 in his entire career. Yeah, and so why I'll do 0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:35.920 whatever he has to do. And again, it's not quarterback 0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:38.560 where if you're not starting, you have no role to play. 0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:41.920 He will have his opportunity, whether because of injury or 0:11:42.040 --> 0:11:45.800 just finding opportunities. He will have a part to play 0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:48.240 if he's healthy. And so I don't think he will 0:11:48.720 --> 0:11:51.520 sweat it too much. You want to last word on this, Yeah, Well, 0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:53.640 I just go back to saying it's not like when 0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:56.720 he was coming back from a Hampshire last year, where oh, 0:11:56.800 --> 0:11:59.920 Sean's back, we need him for fifty snaps. He does. 0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:02.120 He doesn't have to be in that situation. And he's 0:12:02.160 --> 0:12:04.280 told us that before. This is a dream for me, 0:12:04.720 --> 0:12:07.400 and I honestly believe him that we've got the talent 0:12:07.480 --> 0:12:10.240 around us at linebacker now where it's not all on 0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:12.280 me because I know I haven't stayed healthy and I 0:12:12.320 --> 0:12:14.480 know it's been a problem. Yeah, I think it's a 0:12:14.480 --> 0:12:17.200 good scenario for everybody, honestly. Yeah, So see how it 0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:20.400 turns out. Good. Last word. Heard another name on that 0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:26.320 injury report, Zack Martin. Yeah, Nate Newton give me some 0:12:26.400 --> 0:12:28.840 confidence that you know. I don't think that Zack Martin 0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:31.360 is going to practice today, but if he can play 0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:37.800 a play playing, okay, See, man needs a man needs 0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:40.440 a little rest, don't you think? No, sir, you have 0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:45.360 not clinched anything. You have not done anything. See trying 0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:48.560 to win the battle. It just makes me more, maybe 0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:52.080 makes me smile. When they were three and five and 0:12:52.240 --> 0:12:55.079 everybody had him on vine dying, Brian broad Us didn't 0:12:55.120 --> 0:12:58.000 raise my hand right now now now we have a 0:12:58.080 --> 0:13:01.200 chance to clinch something we have is to take something 0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:04.640 hat and T shirt and and we're so good that 0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:07.079 we can rest people. Now. I'm not asking to rest 0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:09.360 him date, I'm just asking me maybe think about the 0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:11.880 big picture here. This is the This is what Jason 0:13:11.880 --> 0:13:15.720 Garrett won't say publicly of what the big picture or 0:13:15.720 --> 0:13:18.199 what they have left? What do they have left? They 0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:20.800 have two more games after this. They they're they're gonna 0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:23.080 clinch a playoff spot. They don't need to win this 0:13:23.120 --> 0:13:25.920 game to clinch the playoffs. That's the just that's the 0:13:26.000 --> 0:13:34.720 dirty about there, right for place and clinch for themselves. 0:13:35.000 --> 0:13:37.480 There you go, But is it worth it to rush 0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:40.120 a guy who's not ready onto the field to win 0:13:40.160 --> 0:13:42.680 a game that you don't have to have. You know what, 0:13:43.720 --> 0:13:46.560 I did it? Yeah, I'm sure. I'm sure players do 0:13:46.600 --> 0:13:48.680 it every single week. You want to leave no doubt. 0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:51.280 You don't want to get to three o'clock Sunday and say, well, 0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:57.720 I hope Washington and Phillip let's say Washington, Philly lows. Okay, 0:13:58.000 --> 0:14:00.280 still gonna hat and a short. Yeah you get it 0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:06.559 on Monday. Yeah you you okay, you're resting? Yeah, okay, 0:14:06.600 --> 0:14:10.200 and then when do you play him? Now? Yeah, when 0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:12.280 when do you play? Okay, we're gonna play him the 0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:14.440 next week? What if he twisted the next week all 0:14:14.440 --> 0:14:18.360 of a sudden. Well, no, that the game that I 0:14:18.360 --> 0:14:21.400 will say as a player that okay, Yeah, when you 0:14:21.440 --> 0:14:26.640 get to the sixteenth game and it's over, you've clinched 0:14:26.640 --> 0:14:31.280 and everything, Okay, all of these guys start resting them. Yeah, 0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:34.040 but see, this is what I understand is you're saying 0:14:34.080 --> 0:14:37.880 resting when they clinch. Yeah. Yeah, what I don't understand clinch? 0:14:37.920 --> 0:14:40.440 And then you got ten? Why why would they play 0:14:40.560 --> 0:14:43.120 last year when they had nothing truly to play for? 0:14:43.640 --> 0:14:45.600 He played all of these guys because he didn't want 0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:47.320 to be eight, because they could finish with a winning right, 0:14:47.400 --> 0:14:50.960 Yeah he didn't. Which one is bigger? Which one is bigger? 0:14:51.920 --> 0:14:57.320 Which one is bigger? There's no question this is bigger game. 0:14:57.760 --> 0:15:00.680 But there's just so many things that have to go wrong. 0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:03.760 And this, this is what Jason Garrett would rather die 0:15:03.840 --> 0:15:08.320 than say this publicly. But behind closed doors, they're like, wet, 0:15:08.360 --> 0:15:10.640 we only got to win one of these three or 0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:13.280 you know, these teams could lose one of these three 0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:16.240 and we're in let's not throw our all pro guard 0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:18.560 out there in a game that we don't absolutely have 0:15:18.600 --> 0:15:21.240 to have. And Nate he made he is deck s. 0:15:21.240 --> 0:15:23.760 Youre starting here? Is we talking about putting Rush in 0:15:24.040 --> 0:15:27.200 a white Which one we talking about putting in Cooper Coopers? 0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:30.120 One thing I do not understand. That's a good point. 0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:34.400 One thing I do not understand. Point guys has thirty 0:15:34.440 --> 0:15:38.880 five secs. We've given up almost fifty. So is is 0:15:39.080 --> 0:15:42.600 dak okay? Well? All right, into another Atlanta situation? All right? 0:15:42.640 --> 0:15:44.840 Let me let me let me ask Rob Phillips's question. 0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:48.520 If he doesn't play, what's your confidence in Connor Williams? 0:15:49.280 --> 0:15:52.720 I felt right guard. I feel better about what I 0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:54.120 feel good about what he did at the end of 0:15:54.200 --> 0:15:56.360 that game having not played it, and maybe a week 0:15:56.680 --> 0:16:00.160 at right guard will help him. But I mean, you're 0:16:00.200 --> 0:16:02.840 reaching a point where you've got a lot of moving 0:16:02.880 --> 0:16:05.160 parts on your offensive line, to Nate's point, and past 0:16:05.200 --> 0:16:08.240 protection has already been an issue. However, I am starting 0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:10.840 to wonder. I'm all with you on Zach. Zach's gonna 0:16:10.840 --> 0:16:12.640 try to play if he can play. But I wonder 0:16:12.640 --> 0:16:14.680 at this point if he does need a week, just 0:16:14.720 --> 0:16:17.240 because he's been playing with this thing for weeks now. 0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:20.720 He didn't come back the last time a Warrior player. Man, 0:16:20.800 --> 0:16:22.720 he wasn't able to return last game. He'd been able 0:16:22.720 --> 0:16:24.280 to do that the past. I wonder if he doesn't 0:16:24.280 --> 0:16:26.520 need a week. Never miss an NFL game, by the way, 0:16:26.560 --> 0:16:30.360 that's true, and I'm missed the middle school game, never 0:16:30.440 --> 0:16:33.800 missed a Pop one a game. Uh. If he is 0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:36.680 truly to the point where he cannot stand the pain, 0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:39.840 I'm one hundred percent with you. Yeah. But if he 0:16:39.880 --> 0:16:41.960 can stand the pain, oh, he's played through a lot 0:16:42.000 --> 0:16:44.840 of pain and that's I mean, yeah, a lot of pain. 0:16:44.960 --> 0:16:48.040 This is his hometown too, Yeah, it's it's his hometown. 0:16:48.200 --> 0:16:49.960 It's a chance to win the division. Like, if he 0:16:50.000 --> 0:16:55.280 can walk. He remember, make an eye run and he 0:16:55.360 --> 0:16:59.920 made a lot of playing with basically that same knee injury. Yeah. Yeah, 0:17:00.000 --> 0:17:05.080 and uh and you know after we clinched, Coach Canter say, hey, man, 0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:07.680 you look you look pretty pathetic at this Yes, sir, 0:17:08.600 --> 0:17:10.720 did you feel pretty pathetic? Yeah? I did? Did you? 0:17:10.800 --> 0:17:12.480 And he said, Man, I'm just gonna but you lined 0:17:12.520 --> 0:17:15.520 up block Gilbert Brown the next week. Yes, man, we're 0:17:15.520 --> 0:17:17.760 gonna give you a week off. We're gonna put Kevin Gogan. 0:17:18.119 --> 0:17:20.800 I mean I didn't hurt you. Uh no, it didn't 0:17:20.840 --> 0:17:22.359 hurt me. You know, I went up in the in 0:17:22.400 --> 0:17:24.240 the in the booth with John Matt and the past 0:17:24.280 --> 0:17:28.440 summer all behind the guy spotter. But uh, I'm gonna 0:17:28.440 --> 0:17:34.240 tell you something. It's just it always makes me wonder 0:17:36.040 --> 0:17:43.879 that you are willing to sacrifice, you know, talking about 0:17:44.080 --> 0:17:48.400 what you think you've already gained and you haven't gained nothing. Yeah. 0:17:48.440 --> 0:17:51.679 You your team is this far away. Oh you're at 0:17:51.680 --> 0:17:53.359 the at the you're on the goal line. Yeah, but 0:17:53.400 --> 0:17:55.960 you got a bad yeah, bad red zone. You this 0:17:56.160 --> 0:18:00.280 far away from being a failure. Yeah, and all its 0:18:00.960 --> 0:18:04.760 is one bad game and you never recover and you'll 0:18:04.800 --> 0:18:07.680 be like, oh, man, I know what happened here. You 0:18:07.800 --> 0:18:10.919 got Mark Sanchez going against the jag, Josh Johnson going 0:18:10.960 --> 0:18:14.359 against the Jags, and Nick Foles with the Dallas Cowboys. 0:18:14.680 --> 0:18:17.200 That has nothing to do with they wanted to leave, 0:18:17.280 --> 0:18:20.120 no doubt, no doubt. I think your own business. I'd 0:18:20.200 --> 0:18:23.120 rather play him this week, if he can play, I'd 0:18:23.160 --> 0:18:25.000 rather play him this week and try to win this 0:18:25.080 --> 0:18:29.159 game at all calls and rest him, force him to 0:18:29.280 --> 0:18:33.800 rest once once you clinch. And now if they lose 0:18:33.920 --> 0:18:37.640 this game and then these two other teams lose, they say, hey, 0:18:37.680 --> 0:18:40.719 you've clinched. You go get your your your weak shirt 0:18:40.760 --> 0:18:44.199 and weak hat on on Monday. Yeah you go, you 0:18:44.240 --> 0:18:47.240 know because yeah, because you was given the division. So 0:18:47.760 --> 0:18:51.840 you don't you don't think they've earned this division. They 0:18:51.920 --> 0:18:54.520 got a chance to do it. Come yeah, yeah, they 0:18:54.560 --> 0:19:00.520 have a chance to take it, as Warriors do. I'm 0:19:00.520 --> 0:19:02.520 ready to run through a wall and I'll tell you what, No, 0:19:02.680 --> 0:19:04.600 don't do the hell No, that's it. Hey, it's good, bad, 0:19:05.000 --> 0:19:06.600 all right, we're gonna take it. We're gonna take our 0:19:06.640 --> 0:19:09.080 first break plays of fast twenty minutes.
