I'm happy to be here, but I'd rather 0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:28.600 be on home right now. 0:01:29.959 --> 0:01:32.880 This is one of those did you put together toys yesterday? 0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:35.800 Because Derek and I are beyond putting together toys, but 0:01:35.880 --> 0:01:38.120 did you put together toys the last couple of days? 0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:41.280 Yes, there were a few that I'm like, how like. 0:01:41.480 --> 0:01:44.920 Did you have you left over pieces? Like like if 0:01:44.959 --> 0:01:46.840 you ever made a swing set and you got like 0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:49.120 a couple of wingnut left leftover. 0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:50.920 Like, hope my kid doesn't go flying one day. 0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:53.960 You're kind of like like, okay, am I supposed to 0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:57.360 have like three of these nuts and bolts left over? 0:01:57.600 --> 0:02:00.080 Afterwards it's a spare. Oh no, it's supposed to be 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:02.800 bear And but then you do wonder about the safety 0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:06.160 of your child, like the swing Oh push, mommy push, 0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:08.800 and then next thing you know, the kid just gets launched. 0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:12.160 Do you ever I have I haven't gone through that. 0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:16.320 No, yeah, no, I remember. I remember one night I 0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:18.280 was in college there at LSU. If you hadn't known, 0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:21.120 I love l s U. Uh the the I was 0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:25.000 in college and one of my teammates, his brother, played 0:02:25.000 --> 0:02:26.840 for the New Orleans Saints Stan Brock. He was an 0:02:26.880 --> 0:02:31.000 offensive tackle for the Saints. So Stan like, we're putting 0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:34.760 together Barbie's playhouse thing, right, the big building thing. And 0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:37.440 they're like, but he does it with like a bottle 0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:40.520 of Jack Daniels. So like Barbie, there was some like 0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:45.760 leftover pieces involved with Barbie's playouts. I'm like, like, Stan, 0:02:45.800 --> 0:02:47.720 I think all these pieces are supposed to go. And 0:02:47.760 --> 0:02:49.480 we were we were looking at the Oh no, it 0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:53.200 looks fine. Can't you tell that's the slide? That's like, 0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:56.000 I don't know, Stan, I think there's some other things 0:02:56.040 --> 0:02:58.600 involved here. He's, oh, no, it's fine, don't worry about it. 0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:01.359 The kids will never kids will never know the difference. 0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:05.760 And yeah, I'm like, you can't put together toys that 0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:09.440 way under the influence. You know, you always leave you 0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:12.680 always leave pieces out that you probably needed to. 0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:13.120 Well. 0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:15.360 Luckily, Amber's husband is a handy guy, so he'll be 0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:17.520 all right. Yeah, he'll be alright, So they'll be fine. 0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:20.320 All right, he's a fun guy to have a cocktail. 0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:22.720 No doubt, no doubt. All right, let's let's jump in. 0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:25.800 Let's catch up on a couple of injury updates for 0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:28.399 this week. Heading into the game. They had a few 0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:31.000 guys that were that did not practice. Now this was 0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:33.519 early in this week, This was Tuesday. They used a 0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:37.320 Tuesday just so everyone kind of understood. They used their 0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:40.560 normal Wednesday schedule, which is usually a walk through. That 0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:42.440 they did that on Tuesday so that they could then 0:03:42.520 --> 0:03:44.560 take what was usually an off day on Tuesday and 0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:46.360 move it to Wendesday allow the players. 0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:46.920 To be off for Christmas. 0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:48.680 So nice way to do it for the team. 0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:51.960 Uh, but that meant that the Tuesday injury report probably 0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:55.080 a little bit more cautious than than may have been 0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:56.640 if it would have been on a Wednesday. But that 0:03:56.720 --> 0:04:01.200 being said, Eric Kendricks, TJ. Bass, Jalen Broke, and Ceedeelamb 0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:03.520 were a few names that were on that list that 0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:05.960 were notable. Tell me what you know about specific lists. 0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:07.080 Start with Eric Hendricks. 0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:09.720 Yeah, Eric is that that thing went all the way 0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:11.520 up to game time the other day, so. 0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:13.160 I was actually kind of surprised he didn't play. 0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:15.880 But yeah, what I've learned about Eric Kendricks a little 0:04:15.880 --> 0:04:18.080 bit is Eric's one of those guys he's very tuned 0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:20.080 into his body. You know, he loves cars, so it's 0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:22.920 kind of a passion. So he's talking about tuning and 0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:25.920 being involved. But he's one of those guys that kind 0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:30.760 of like to play. He needs to feel it. Gotta 0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:32.480 feel it, Yeah, I gotta feel it anyone out there. 0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:35.880 And if you know, he's very conscious because he doesn't 0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:38.920 want to play at a poor level, and that's why 0:04:38.960 --> 0:04:40.400 he wants to make sure. Now all these guys are 0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:43.200 nick I'm not saying it. Eric Kendricks is begging off 0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:46.360 games and all that. Now, you know, he's he just 0:04:46.400 --> 0:04:48.880 wants to make sure that if you know he's playing, 0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:51.760 that he is going to give the maximum to his 0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:55.240 team that day. So hopefully things will be turned back 0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:57.320 around this way. But it was really really close in 0:04:57.360 --> 0:04:58.920 the game the other day, so I think things should 0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:00.359 be okay weekend. 0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:02.080 What are we hearing about TJ Bass. 0:05:02.360 --> 0:05:04.760 TJ Bass is still dealing with the thigh jury a 0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:06.720 little bit, so that's something that they kind of have 0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:10.000 to monitor and and and hopefully that will get better 0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:12.520 with time. But these games, I mean, at the end 0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:14.680 of the season, you know as it is that it's 0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:16.840 just it's a problem. I mean, it's just something that's 0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:18.440 a little bit of a nagging thing that he has 0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:19.000 to deal with. 0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:22.400 Yeah, looking at the wide receiver position. There were a 0:05:22.400 --> 0:05:25.560 few names of these guys, Jalen told, but interestingly he 0:05:25.680 --> 0:05:29.920 was limited. But he had supposedly a pretty garrely fingering finger. Yeah. 0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:33.480 Yeah, one of the one of the catches that he made. 0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:37.479 I remember looking at the tape and he was he 0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:41.400 came he it was it wasn't I think it was incomplete, 0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:44.800 and his hand got hit and it just kind of 0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:48.440 his finger. You could tell he was like looking at it, 0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:50.800 so I thought maybe he had a dislocated finger, and 0:05:50.839 --> 0:05:53.400 then they popped it back in the place. Is what. 0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:55.640 But you know these are things he makes. 0:05:55.839 --> 0:05:57.560 He ran off the field because he has been right 0:05:57.600 --> 0:06:00.000 in front of us, like inside the from the press 0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:03.760 box point of view, and I remember seeing him, yeah, 0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:08.320 holding his finger, yeah, right there in that corner, right 0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:08.960 in front of us. 0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:09.279 Uh. 0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:12.960 And when he came off, you could tell hurt his finger. 0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:16.760 He was holding a finger as he ran off the field. 0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:19.280 So I think they're dealing with this location there is 0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:21.400 what it is, So we'll have to deal with that. 0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:23.960 Jalen Brooks also missed practiced yesterday. What do we know 0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:24.400 about him? 0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:28.160 Yeah, that's that's continues to be. That's a hamstring problem. 0:06:28.279 --> 0:06:30.800 So what that doesn't never seem to work out very 0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:33.880 well for you. That's hamstring injuries or or one of 0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:36.040 those things I anticipated. 0:06:35.360 --> 0:06:39.240 Is that hamstring or knee hamstring? It says knee on 0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:45.480 here the report, Yeah, hamstring is hall On halls a hamstring? 0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:47.560 Well, I thought I could say because I was, I 0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:49.760 know that. Let me let me make sure that one then, 0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:52.640 because I was hearing that was that was a hamstringe Well, 0:06:52.640 --> 0:06:55.120 what they put on the report was I'm sure the 0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:57.440 report's right then, but let me let me double check that. 0:06:57.560 --> 0:06:59.679 I thought I thought he was missed the game because 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:02.960 of a hamstring injury. Oh oh, I take I take 0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:07.000 that back. My bad, he he uh he, Okay, that's it, 0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:10.760 my bad. He uh hyper extended his knee in practice 0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:13.080 in the practice the other day. 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:14.840 And that's how he ended up up on. 0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:17.040 So yeah, you're right, Amber, I'm sorry. It's not saying 0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:19.640 it's his knee that he hyper extended. So I don't 0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:22.480 think that's uh well, we'll see how that how that 0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:24.280 one plays. I'll check on that one as well. 0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:26.720 Yeah, that'll be an interesting one, just because now you're 0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:29.920 if you got told with a finger and obviously CD 0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:32.680 with his shoulder and now Brooks with a knee. You 0:07:32.720 --> 0:07:34.760 start wondering, like your depth to be able to finish 0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:37.120 these last two games. Uh, but we'll see where that 0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:39.480 that progresses through the rest of the week. At this point, 0:07:39.640 --> 0:07:41.920 are we hearing anything more about CD and and and 0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:43.400 his availability for this week? 0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:46.040 Nothing more? They're being really, I mean, they're just he's 0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:48.200 It sounds like to me, he's just gonna battle through 0:07:48.240 --> 0:07:48.640 this stuff. 0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:51.320 As long as his shoulders, as long as. 0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:52.720 It's yeah, as long as it's as long as he 0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:54.720 could suit up and play, he's going to try and play. 0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:58.160 But yeah, but nothing more that, nothing more than from 0:07:58.160 --> 0:07:59.960 what we talked about the other day. 0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:03.240 Absolute the man's that's a lot of pain tolerance right 0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:07.240 there to be able to go through that well, like we. 0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:10.360 Talked about it the other day, And I mean, that's 0:08:10.400 --> 0:08:13.840 where you take matters into your own hands and you 0:08:14.000 --> 0:08:16.760 tell somebody to sit it out and not make it 0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:22.400 their decisions, because most likely than not, I not every 0:08:22.440 --> 0:08:24.760 player is going to be this way. Some players would 0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:28.040 be happy just sitting it out. And you know, we've 0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:31.440 seen those kinds of players. City is not one of those, 0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:35.079 and he's gonna be wanting to go out there and compete. 0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:38.640 He's been showing that so far, regardless of the injury. 0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:42.160 So again, this is one of those that you just. 0:08:42.600 --> 0:08:45.040 I've had people tweet at me about this about this 0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:47.720 because they heard our discussion that we had the other day, 0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:52.679 and it's interesting. I think the fan base is like, listen, 0:08:53.200 --> 0:08:57.320 we understand what you're saying. It's damn Philadelphia. You know 0:08:57.520 --> 0:09:01.960 that that's there. The season might be lost and gone 0:09:02.040 --> 0:09:05.920 and all that. These fans do not want to lose 0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:10.679 the Philadelphia and they're thinking, like, listen, he could sit out, sure, great, 0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:14.360 but please don't let it be against Philadelphia. That's the 0:09:14.440 --> 0:09:18.240 kind of the vibe I'm getting. And I'm like, damn, 0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:21.880 I mean, guys, hurt. I don't care if it's Philadelphia 0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:24.680 or it's the I don't care who it is. I mean, 0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:28.600 he's hurt. He's legitimly hurt. But the fan base is 0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:32.439 very much like, it's Philadelphia, Brian. You know, he's got 0:09:32.480 --> 0:09:35.640 to play. He's got to play these games. And I'm like, well, no, 0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:38.320 he doesn't, you know. I mean, it's not you going 0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:41.280 out there and playing, you know, it's him. And that's 0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:44.240 where I can say I like what you're talking about, 0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:46.679 Ambar with sometimes you maybe have to like take these 0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:50.000 players out of that situation because they're going to play, 0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:52.480 They're going to try and play. But man, I just 0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:55.520 find it just you know that the hatred for the 0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:58.520 Philadelphia Eagles, Like, Okay Seed, he go out there and play, 0:09:59.200 --> 0:10:02.560 you know, with a with a compromised shoulder, just because 0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:03.080 it's the film. 0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:07.040 And I get the fans wanting to watch that. Also, 0:10:07.040 --> 0:10:10.000 you're not trying to watch a preseason game for your team, 0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:12.760 your own team in December at the end of December. 0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:14.959 You want to see the start players be out there 0:10:15.000 --> 0:10:17.280 on the field, and this is what you sign up 0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:20.000 for in the season as a player. But at the 0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:24.520 same time, I'm like, this season hit us in the 0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:28.720 face so hard. We won next year and again. And 0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:32.840 I'm not saying this is an injury that's predicted to 0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:36.200 keep him out of the beginning of the season or 0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:38.719 anything like that. But the sooner you can start that 0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:41.480 healing process, the better for her and the better for 0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:44.840 everybody else. 0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:47.439 I agree with all that. I get all that, I guess. 0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:50.120 The thing for me though, still is like these are 0:10:51.360 --> 0:10:56.960 these are professional athletes and the legendary, the legendary people. 0:10:56.679 --> 0:10:57.400 In this sport. 0:10:57.760 --> 0:11:00.199 You think about Himmi Smith, you think about some like 0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:02.360 Emma Smith would be one. I was actually thinking about 0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:05.199 Jason Whitten. When you think about Jason was the first 0:11:05.200 --> 0:11:08.959 thing you think about, tough as hell, Like dude broke 0:11:09.000 --> 0:11:13.520 his jaw play football, Dude busted his spleen play football. 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:18.240 It's when you talk about him as putting weights in 0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:19.199 his right. 0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:22.000 Yeah, yeah, so he could make weights so he could 0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:24.320 play football even though he hadn't been eaten because he's 0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:26.640 got a broken jaw. Like, those are the things that 0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:29.360 I think make legends in this sport, and so I 0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:32.480 don't I would never, ever, if I win, in the 0:11:32.480 --> 0:11:34.040 situation where I would have him to make the call, 0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:36.719 I wouldn't take a guy off the field unless there 0:11:36.800 --> 0:11:38.440 was more damage that could be done. Now, if it 0:11:38.480 --> 0:11:40.120 was a situation you could do more damage, I'd be like, 0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:42.320 all right, man, we got to make sure we protect 0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:44.640 you for next year. But if you can't do any 0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:47.280 more damage, like I would allow that player to be 0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:49.600 able to make that decision. If they want, he's gonna 0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:51.480 make one right and if they want and if they 0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:54.480 want to do something that they feel like makes them 0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:55.800 more legendary. 0:11:56.240 --> 0:11:58.640 Like we're talking about Hall of Fame caliber players, right, 0:11:59.120 --> 0:12:01.240 you want to do something makes you more legendary, Man, 0:12:01.320 --> 0:12:01.760 go for it. 0:12:01.800 --> 0:12:02.199 I'm with you. 0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:04.839 Let's go, and it's gonna hurt. But if you're down, 0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:06.280 then they don't go for it. 0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:09.120 You know, No, I totally get it, and I totally 0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:12.720 understand what you're saying. I just found it really, you 0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:16.160 know that this that the rivalry maybe that focused the 0:12:16.240 --> 0:12:19.120 rivalry a little bit more for me that that fans 0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:22.360 are tweeting at me going, hey, I don't care, he's 0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:24.720 got to play against Philadelphia. We can't lose this game. 0:12:24.840 --> 0:12:28.560 Yeah, you know, and it's tough to imagine the the 0:12:28.600 --> 0:12:30.559 offense playing without c. 0:12:33.360 --> 0:12:35.760 It's a workable offense without him. 0:12:35.840 --> 0:12:38.040 Go back and watch go back and watch the game 0:12:38.080 --> 0:12:40.000 with with you know, with Cooper Rush. That was his 0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:43.760 first start. After the Atlanta game got awful. I mean 0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:46.840 that that offense was just god awful. And the defense 0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:49.120 and we'll get into this, the defense held you in 0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:51.800 that game. Well, I mean literally, they get you know, 0:12:51.880 --> 0:12:54.400 it's two minutes left in the half and they're down 0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:56.400 seven to three and they get a fumble and you 0:12:56.440 --> 0:12:58.360 have to kick a field goal because you can't even 0:12:58.400 --> 0:13:01.079 get the can't we get fined five yards to get 0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:05.160 a touchdown? There? So lots changed since, but yeah, it's 0:13:05.280 --> 0:13:08.160 it's it's CD. I mean I will and I don't 0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:09.880 think you are. I think none of us will ever 0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:11.280 question touch on that kid. 0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:11.960 Not at all. 0:13:12.000 --> 0:13:14.440 As a matter of fact, my level of respect for 0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:17.320 his level of toughness has gone up this year, just 0:13:17.320 --> 0:13:19.199 seeing him go through this and seeing him like, man, 0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:20.040 I'm still playing. 0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:21.440 I'm going to keep playing. I respect that. 0:13:21.559 --> 0:13:21.840 All Right. 0:13:21.840 --> 0:13:23.959 We're gonna take our final first break when we come back, 0:13:23.960 --> 0:13:25.920 We're gonna jump into the Eagles. We're got to talk 0:13:25.920 --> 0:13:27.680 about a little bit of what we saw in the 0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:31.000 last matchup and maybe how some of that translates into 0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:33.080 this matchup, and then we'll dive into a little deeper 0:13:33.120 --> 0:13:33.800 conversation on. 0:13:33.720 --> 0:13:36.120 The Philadelphia offense.

At the start of 0:16:30.040 --> 0:16:33.320 the segment, brought to you by blockchain dot Com. All right, 0:16:33.400 --> 0:16:35.560 let's talk about the Eagles right now. They are twelve 0:16:35.600 --> 0:16:37.600 and three. They still have not wrapped up the NFC 0:16:37.640 --> 0:16:42.040 East after that loss last week to the Commanders. I think, 0:16:42.080 --> 0:16:43.840 if I'm not mistaken, they can wrap it up this 0:16:43.920 --> 0:16:46.840 weekend with a win. But if they lose this weekend, 0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:49.800 it's gonna get real interesting there for that final week 0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:51.600 with the Washington. 0:16:51.320 --> 0:16:54.400 Play the Giants final facts, you know that. 0:16:54.440 --> 0:16:56.560 Will they do they need to do? They need to win? 0:16:56.600 --> 0:16:59.640 Will they need to win that game in Washington lose, 0:16:59.720 --> 0:17:02.120 or would be a tie where Washington wins then they 0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:02.680 have the tybreak. 0:17:02.720 --> 0:17:03.760 I don't know, I haven't looked. 0:17:03.560 --> 0:17:07.040 At I haven't looked at when looked at before. For 0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:08.679 a while though, they were kind of competing for the 0:17:08.760 --> 0:17:10.840 number one overall seed, and now I think they're just 0:17:10.880 --> 0:17:12.679 trying to kind of get the division wrapped up. It 0:17:12.720 --> 0:17:15.000 sounds like that that the that maybe the number one 0:17:15.040 --> 0:17:18.080 seed might come down to the Minnesota Detroit game, which 0:17:18.119 --> 0:17:21.639 is Week eighteen, which, uh, you know, everybody's kind of 0:17:21.680 --> 0:17:23.520 looking at that mode right now of like, oh, well, 0:17:23.520 --> 0:17:25.800 the Dallas Washington game. But you know, there's two games 0:17:25.800 --> 0:17:28.440 that can get flexed. I think it's at three thirty 0:17:28.480 --> 0:17:31.639 and at seven, And my guess would be, I'm just 0:17:31.720 --> 0:17:35.160 guessing here that that Minnesota Detroit game would be one 0:17:35.160 --> 0:17:37.119 that they would put in that one of the probably 0:17:37.119 --> 0:17:39.880 the final time slot that night game, that night game, 0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:43.760 and then the and then maybe Cincinnati and Pittsburgh. Cincinnati 0:17:43.840 --> 0:17:46.920 might be still battling for a playoff spot, depending on 0:17:47.000 --> 0:17:50.160 what happens with Denver, I think is so uh but yeah, 0:17:50.240 --> 0:17:52.720 that's I think Dallas is pretty safe if saying that 0:17:52.720 --> 0:17:56.240 they're going to play Sunday at noon for that final 0:17:56.480 --> 0:17:58.760 final game. I don't think there's any reason to put 0:17:58.840 --> 0:18:00.840 Dallas in the either one of the those time spots. 0:18:00.920 --> 0:18:03.000 They did get flex down this coming week against Philly. 0:18:03.080 --> 0:18:03.600 Yeah, sure. 0:18:03.960 --> 0:18:05.960 My hope is that even maybe they'll do it on Saturday, 0:18:06.040 --> 0:18:08.040 like make it a Saturday game, but well, who knows. 0:18:08.200 --> 0:18:10.560 We'll see, We'll see how I go, see how it goes. Yeah, 0:18:10.600 --> 0:18:13.040 real quick too. On Brooks, he's working this week, okay, 0:18:13.119 --> 0:18:15.800 so he will be practicing today and then the next 0:18:15.840 --> 0:18:18.400 couple of days, so hopefully you'll have him back on 0:18:18.400 --> 0:18:21.080 on that on that that timetable. 0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:22.720 And at this point in the season, reps for young 0:18:22.760 --> 0:18:24.600 guys is very important, so I think he's in that. 0:18:24.680 --> 0:18:26.320 We've had a lot of young guys earned their letter 0:18:26.400 --> 0:18:27.160 jackets already. 0:18:27.160 --> 0:18:29.400 No doubt you want him playing in these last couple 0:18:29.400 --> 0:18:32.240 of games. But uh, let's let's get onto these Philadelphia Eagles. 0:18:33.640 --> 0:18:35.680 What would you say is right now as you're looking 0:18:35.720 --> 0:18:38.040 at this Eagles team, Brian, what would you say is 0:18:38.080 --> 0:18:41.560 like the biggest storyline around that team that Cowboys fans 0:18:41.560 --> 0:18:42.359 need to be aware of. 0:18:43.600 --> 0:18:47.240 Well, you got a guy still chasing an NFL rushing record. 0:18:48.000 --> 0:18:49.760 You know what I'm saying. It's a big one, and 0:18:49.800 --> 0:18:53.439 it's a big one, and it's one that that that 0:18:54.240 --> 0:18:57.720 backs have come close to but have failed. And now 0:18:57.760 --> 0:19:01.200 you're in a situation too where he's got two games 0:19:01.280 --> 0:19:03.800 left and we're talking about Barkley and you're looking at 0:19:03.800 --> 0:19:06.560 two hundred and sixty yards or two hundred and fifty 0:19:06.640 --> 0:19:08.560 yards and. 0:19:08.440 --> 0:19:09.800 That's what it is jocking range for him. 0:19:09.880 --> 0:19:11.720 Yeah, And all of a sudden, do you do you 0:19:11.880 --> 0:19:14.720 try and get this? Do you try and get this record? Now? 0:19:15.200 --> 0:19:16.639 I don't think he's going to get two hundred and 0:19:16.640 --> 0:19:21.280 fifty yards rushing against the Cowboys. Well no, maybe you'll 0:19:21.320 --> 0:19:22.280 think so, you'll think. 0:19:22.720 --> 0:19:24.920 There put some respect on our defense. 0:19:25.160 --> 0:19:27.359 Yeah, No, I mean, here's what I'm just I'm just 0:19:27.400 --> 0:19:27.720 saying it. 0:19:27.760 --> 0:19:30.359 I'm just thinking how close can he get? And the 0:19:30.440 --> 0:19:33.359 following week would be against the Giants, right, and that 0:19:33.400 --> 0:19:35.760 would be at home, And how much you're willing to 0:19:35.880 --> 0:19:39.520 play him knowing that you're probably going to be you know, 0:19:39.680 --> 0:19:42.760 could could possibly be now Green Bay keeps but green 0:19:42.840 --> 0:19:44.560 Bay would be green Bay's not going to win the 0:19:44.600 --> 0:19:48.440 division and so they'll be but Philadelphia they'll probably likely 0:19:48.520 --> 0:19:53.840 be the second seed if that's the case. So if 0:19:53.840 --> 0:19:56.000 that's the case, you're going to have to play you know, 0:19:56.040 --> 0:19:59.240 you're gonna have to play, likely the Commanders. I believe 0:19:59.320 --> 0:20:01.320 he would be the seven round of Plague. Yeah, so 0:20:01.359 --> 0:20:03.800 you would, you know, you absolutely have to. You know, 0:20:03.840 --> 0:20:06.000 it'd be that turnaround. But do you try and get 0:20:06.080 --> 0:20:08.480 him the record or you try and get him close? Yeah, 0:20:08.960 --> 0:20:11.119 you know that would be so. I mean, I couldn't 0:20:11.160 --> 0:20:13.240 imagine John maryeror the owner of the Giants have to 0:20:13.280 --> 0:20:17.280 sit there and watch Saquon Barkley break the NFL rushing record. Yeah. 0:20:17.280 --> 0:20:18.920 I don't think he. I don't think he gets there 0:20:18.920 --> 0:20:21.600 against the Cowboys. I do think he can rack up 0:20:21.600 --> 0:20:24.919 some yards and one hundred this game. Yeah, then I 0:20:24.960 --> 0:20:27.240 think one hundred and fifty against the Giants in the 0:20:27.240 --> 0:20:29.560 final game of the season, with it being his old team. 0:20:29.400 --> 0:20:31.840 The Giants, I think one hundred and fifty. Yeah, I 0:20:31.880 --> 0:20:34.080 think he's doing that. I think I think he. I 0:20:34.119 --> 0:20:35.480 definitely think he's gonna break that record. 0:20:35.560 --> 0:20:37.159 I just you know, you look at the way that 0:20:37.240 --> 0:20:41.000 this team. And we all understand about with Smith and Brown, 0:20:41.040 --> 0:20:44.800 the receivers, we all understand, you know, with with the 0:20:44.920 --> 0:20:48.800 you know, with the wide receiver, with the tight end. Uh, 0:20:48.840 --> 0:20:50.800 you know, I mean, this is a this is a 0:20:50.840 --> 0:20:53.240 good team. This is a good team. And for a 0:20:53.359 --> 0:20:55.800 half I went back and watch for a half, you 0:20:55.880 --> 0:20:58.719 played really really well against him on defense and and 0:20:58.760 --> 0:21:01.560 what and what you know what I was impressed by 0:21:01.560 --> 0:21:03.200 this game. And I just put in my notes there 0:21:03.200 --> 0:21:05.600 that I was really impressed the way that that that 0:21:05.640 --> 0:21:10.680 Mike Zimber attacked Philadelphia in that in that game, and 0:21:10.720 --> 0:21:12.480 you know, he did a really good job of mixing 0:21:12.520 --> 0:21:14.600 the fronts and the coverages. And that was a problem 0:21:14.640 --> 0:21:18.160 for the Eagles to identify. They really didn't handle when 0:21:18.160 --> 0:21:20.960 we talk about the mug the mug look when they 0:21:21.080 --> 0:21:23.719 put the linebackers in the in the in the a gaps. 0:21:24.640 --> 0:21:27.159 Philly didn't have a really good plan for how to 0:21:27.320 --> 0:21:29.760 deal with that, you know, And I wonder if Mike's 0:21:29.760 --> 0:21:33.200 going to go back to it. The problem is that 0:21:33.440 --> 0:21:37.679 overshown was such a big factor in that game that 0:21:38.440 --> 0:21:41.080 without him, how much of that can you really do? 0:21:41.080 --> 0:21:42.880 Because they got you know, he got a couple of sacks, 0:21:43.200 --> 0:21:46.639 he had eleven tackles, he had pressures. I mean, he 0:21:46.840 --> 0:21:50.680 was he was your defensive MVP. And without him, can 0:21:50.800 --> 0:21:53.120 Zimmer do what he can? You know what he needs 0:21:53.160 --> 0:21:58.280 to do now? The tradeoff here is though they crushed 0:21:58.320 --> 0:22:00.560 Carson in this game and that in that last game 0:22:00.600 --> 0:22:05.720 they went after Carson at cornerback. And so now you have, 0:22:05.880 --> 0:22:08.720 you know, with Bland and we'll see with Ao and 0:22:08.800 --> 0:22:10.880 stuff how this all kind of plays or how they're 0:22:10.920 --> 0:22:13.480 gonna you know, how they're gonna adapt to that, these 0:22:13.640 --> 0:22:17.680 receivers and the tied end. But you you were compromised 0:22:17.680 --> 0:22:21.320 at cornerback in this last time you met them. This 0:22:21.480 --> 0:22:23.679 time around, I think you're a little bit better shape 0:22:23.760 --> 0:22:26.920 now I say that, but then you don't have digs. 0:22:27.800 --> 0:22:30.120 But you know that's that's going to be. You know, 0:22:30.160 --> 0:22:33.800 how well can you get pressure on this guy? This Gure, 0:22:33.800 --> 0:22:36.480 it's a different quarterback when it comes to the pressure. 0:22:37.080 --> 0:22:39.720 You know, he can handle blitzes, but he wants to 0:22:39.720 --> 0:22:41.840 throw the ball from the pocket. He's not interested in 0:22:41.840 --> 0:22:44.639 getting outside the tackle box. When he gets outside the 0:22:44.640 --> 0:22:47.240 tackle box, he's not very accurate throwing the ball. He 0:22:47.280 --> 0:22:49.600 listen a fifty percent passer it's when he stands in 0:22:49.600 --> 0:22:51.479 the middle of the pocket that he that he can 0:22:51.600 --> 0:22:53.720 kind of kill you that way with the way he 0:22:54.160 --> 0:22:56.959 So I think Zim's got to be very mindful of 0:22:56.960 --> 0:22:59.040 that and you know, and try and do the best 0:22:59.040 --> 0:23:02.080 he can to take advantage of a couple of different 0:23:02.119 --> 0:23:05.960 situations with you know, Jordan Miyolotta didn't play the last 0:23:05.960 --> 0:23:10.080 time in this game. Uh, you know, the lane Johnson 0:23:10.200 --> 0:23:13.320 was really good against Michael Parsons, but they moved Mike 0:23:13.400 --> 0:23:16.479 around and kind of find found some spots, you know. Uh, 0:23:16.640 --> 0:23:19.359 Makai becked in at the guard. They they really they 0:23:19.560 --> 0:23:22.080 they they went after him a little bit and had 0:23:22.119 --> 0:23:24.840 some pressure. Keep an eye on this matchup though, this 0:23:24.880 --> 0:23:27.600 is the one I'm gonna give you. They ohso Diggy's 0:23:28.040 --> 0:23:30.960 every time he was matched up against Cam Jurgens the center, 0:23:31.800 --> 0:23:35.360 it was a pressure. It was pressure. And so if somehow, 0:23:35.480 --> 0:23:38.520 some way they're gonna try and double in help because 0:23:38.520 --> 0:23:41.199 they leave these tackles like eighty five percent of the 0:23:41.200 --> 0:23:44.200 time and they're good. Yeah, my a lotta and and 0:23:44.200 --> 0:23:46.800 and my a lotta. You can run around myle a lota. 0:23:46.840 --> 0:23:49.240 He's a big man, I mean, but to beat him 0:23:49.320 --> 0:23:51.560 you have to get around him. You have to win 0:23:51.680 --> 0:23:55.000 right off the jump and get to his corner and 0:23:55.040 --> 0:23:57.560 then dip him and then go because if he gets 0:23:57.560 --> 0:24:01.240 his hands on your your toast. But they've got big guys, 0:24:01.280 --> 0:24:04.280 Like I say, my lot is big, Beckton's big, and 0:24:04.320 --> 0:24:07.359 then this Landon Dickerson, he doesn't move all that well. 0:24:07.359 --> 0:24:09.480 But this is this still is a really really good 0:24:09.480 --> 0:24:13.520 offensive line when it comes to running the football, the 0:24:12.480 --> 0:24:16.639 pass protection aspect of it. Though. I just wonder if 0:24:16.680 --> 0:24:18.639 Dallas is going to be able to play their mug 0:24:18.720 --> 0:24:21.359 defense where they get those guys up there, because, like 0:24:21.400 --> 0:24:24.040 I say, that gave Jalen Hurts a little problems. And 0:24:24.200 --> 0:24:26.400 what's the health of Jalen Hurts in this game too 0:24:26.440 --> 0:24:28.800 coming up? That's that's the big question mark. I mean, 0:24:28.800 --> 0:24:31.800 I've been kind of following what's going on in Philadelphia 0:24:31.800 --> 0:24:34.320 there and there's still some questions. You mean, matter of fact, 0:24:34.400 --> 0:24:37.280 Kenny Pickett is dealing the backups, dealing with some ribs problem. 0:24:37.720 --> 0:24:42.160 So Tanner McKee, who was from Stanford to the second 0:24:42.240 --> 0:24:45.240 year guy from Stanford, the third quarterback, he says, Hey, 0:24:45.080 --> 0:24:48.800 my reps and all this haven't changed all that much. 0:24:48.880 --> 0:24:50.480 So I'm just trying to get ready in case I 0:24:50.560 --> 0:24:52.840 have to go. But here they are. They're trying to 0:24:52.840 --> 0:24:55.480 win a division and they've got two banged up quarterbacks 0:24:56.080 --> 0:24:57.720 trying to trying to get that done. Yeah. 0:24:57.720 --> 0:25:00.400 I think the interesting thing about about Jalen Hurts is 0:25:00.800 --> 0:25:03.320 coming off that that game, he actually was trying to 0:25:03.320 --> 0:25:05.560 go back in the game they got taken off and 0:25:05.600 --> 0:25:07.080 they had to grab him and be like, oh man, 0:25:07.119 --> 0:25:08.600 you can't. He had put on his helmet like he 0:25:08.680 --> 0:25:10.720 was going back in and they pulled him back. 0:25:10.760 --> 0:25:13.320 So it makes me wonder if, like, what if. 0:25:13.240 --> 0:25:15.800 The severity of the concussion wasn't that bad or was 0:25:15.880 --> 0:25:17.439 he really just like I'm going back in. 0:25:17.560 --> 0:25:20.080 Yeah, I don't care that it was bad, but we'll see. 0:25:20.119 --> 0:25:22.239 I mean obviously there that's where a professional step in 0:25:22.280 --> 0:25:24.200 and definitely make a call. 0:25:25.800 --> 0:25:28.040 See. That's the thing about I mean, it seems like that. 0:25:28.800 --> 0:25:31.040 I'm sure somebody out there is listening it will correct 0:25:31.080 --> 0:25:33.879 me if I'm wrong about this, But it just seems 0:25:33.880 --> 0:25:37.399 like when it's a concussion situation, when the player's taken off, 0:25:38.640 --> 0:25:41.040 that player misses the next week. I mean, it just 0:25:41.040 --> 0:25:44.240 seems like an automatic thing. Like I mean, if you 0:25:44.280 --> 0:25:47.840 look at like Cooper at Cooper Bebe's situation. You know, Now, 0:25:47.840 --> 0:25:50.680 maybe that was a short shorter time a week. I 0:25:50.720 --> 0:25:52.320 don't know, I mean it was just maybe it was. 0:25:52.760 --> 0:25:54.320 I don't think that was that a full week that 0:25:54.480 --> 0:25:56.600 he missed. Was did he get hurt? 0:25:56.640 --> 0:25:56.879 I don't know. 0:25:56.960 --> 0:26:00.280 Well, I mean we saw it with how long was take. 0:26:00.240 --> 0:26:02.520 Out Jake Ferguson's house? 0:26:02.520 --> 0:26:03.000 A few weeks? 0:26:03.000 --> 0:26:04.000 Two games? 0:26:04.160 --> 0:26:08.120 Two weeks? Yeah, Yeah, so I. 0:26:06.440 --> 0:26:09.600 Just kind of think that. But I think that's something 0:26:09.760 --> 0:26:12.080 just to keep an eye on, because if it's if 0:26:12.119 --> 0:26:15.000 it's Kiddy Pickett, that's a whole different that's a whole 0:26:15.000 --> 0:26:17.320 different ball game. For now. Now you you now you're 0:26:18.119 --> 0:26:19.040 gonna get a bunch of run. 0:26:19.320 --> 0:26:21.200 Yeah, now you're gonna now they're gonna run a ball 0:26:21.200 --> 0:26:21.600 a ton. 0:26:21.920 --> 0:26:23.760 But also on top of that, I think it does 0:26:23.920 --> 0:26:26.720 factor into something maybe helping this Dallas defense a little 0:26:26.720 --> 0:26:28.879 bit more because you don't have because they got some 0:26:28.920 --> 0:26:32.879 significant passing options out there, if they're compromised a quarterback. 0:26:33.119 --> 0:26:35.640 Now that that comes back to ear and you really 0:26:35.720 --> 0:26:37.440 have to worry about just stopping the run. 0:26:37.520 --> 0:26:42.080 Brown and Smith, you know, they're just they're they're really, really, 0:26:42.119 --> 0:26:44.560 really good when it comes to you know how how 0:26:44.600 --> 0:26:47.000 they have to deal with their passing situations. 0:26:47.040 --> 0:26:48.639 All right, we're gonna take our final break when we 0:26:48.680 --> 0:26:49.040 come back. 0:26:49.480 --> 0:26:51.200 I want to dive a little deeper into that running 0:26:51.280 --> 0:26:53.600 game that they have and uh, just look at some 0:26:53.640 --> 0:26:57.000 of the issues that Dallas had last week against Tampa Bay. 0:26:57.320 --> 0:26:59.440 The running game got away from Tampa, so they had 0:26:59.480 --> 0:27:01.560 to leave it, but it was actually successful in a 0:27:01.560 --> 0:27:03.480 lot of respects early in the game. I want to 0:27:03.480 --> 0:27:05.240 talk a little bit about that and what that may 0:27:05.280 --> 0:27:06.800 mean for this game against the Eagles. 0:27:06.840 --> 0:27:08.440 We'll be back Dallas Cowboys dot com Radio. 0:27:10.800 --> 0:27:12.800 If you can't be at the stadium, there's no better 0:27:12.840 --> 0:27:14.639 way to watch your Cowboys than on an. 0:27:14.600 --> 0:27:16.480 LG O lead Evo TV. 0:27:16.800 --> 0:27:19.720 That's because everything you see is more lifelike, every play, 0:27:19.840 --> 0:27:20.320 every hit. 0:27:20.520 --> 0:27:22.399 I mean, you might just will be on the sidelines, 0:27:22.520 --> 0:27:23.679 that's how clear it is. 0:27:23.960 --> 0:27:28.400 It's all thanks to LG's legendary technology, perfect black over 0:27:28.480 --> 0:27:30.440 eight point three million self lit pixels. 0:27:30.600 --> 0:27:31.760 No one comes close. 0:27:32.200 --> 0:27:35.080 LGO led Evo is the best TV in the game 0:27:35.280 --> 0:27:36.240 for a reason. 0:27:36.440 --> 0:27:39.480 See for yourself at LG dot com, slash o Leedevo. 0:27:39.720 --> 0:27:43.639 They say champions are remembered, but legends are never forgotten. 0:27:43.960 --> 0:27:47.080 United agin Turf offers a winning lineup of John Deere 0:27:47.080 --> 0:27:50.719 equipment built to tackle any challenge on and off the field. 0:27:50.960 --> 0:27:55.880 Legendary John Deere Tractors combines residential mowers, commercial mowers, compact 0:27:55.880 --> 0:27:59.439 construction equipment, hater utility vehicles, and a full line of 0:27:59.480 --> 0:28:03.240 golf and sports turf equipment.

Back to the Break. 0:29:43.600 --> 0:29:46.080 At and T connecting changes everything. 0:29:46.320 --> 0:29:46.920 Welcome back. 0:29:46.960 --> 0:29:49.880 Final segment of The Break live from SWBC Mortgage Studios 0:29:49.960 --> 0:29:53.400 at the Star. The running game we've been talking about, 0:29:53.400 --> 0:29:55.920 Saquon Barkley right now is averaging one hundred and twenty 0:29:55.960 --> 0:29:58.480 three yards per game on the ground. He also has 0:29:58.760 --> 0:30:01.520 thirty one receptions for two hundred and seventy six yards. 0:30:01.560 --> 0:30:04.920 It's total. The fifteen touchdowns. He is their offense. 0:30:05.560 --> 0:30:07.320 But I think also the part you have to remember 0:30:07.440 --> 0:30:10.360 is Jalen Hurts can do real damage, particularly on the ground. 0:30:10.800 --> 0:30:13.240 He's averaging right now forty two rush yards per game, 0:30:13.320 --> 0:30:16.120 So you put those two together, that's a pretty substantial 0:30:16.200 --> 0:30:20.000 rushing attack. He also has thirty two touchdowns, eighteen of 0:30:20.040 --> 0:30:22.560 them passing, fourteen of them rushing. 0:30:22.760 --> 0:30:23.440 A lot of that. 0:30:23.360 --> 0:30:25.960 Being when they're in goal to go situations at the one, 0:30:26.000 --> 0:30:28.680 at the two. It's pretty much standard what they're gonna 0:30:28.680 --> 0:30:30.160 do and nobody can stop it. They're going to do 0:30:30.160 --> 0:30:32.720 the touch push and nobody can stop that. Yeah, and 0:30:33.600 --> 0:30:35.640 push right, and they just they know how to do it, 0:30:35.680 --> 0:30:37.840 and it's amazing to me that nobody else has kind 0:30:37.840 --> 0:30:40.560 of figured out how they do this to be able 0:30:40.600 --> 0:30:43.000 to replicate it, because nobody else gets the success that 0:30:43.040 --> 0:30:46.000 they do. But it is it is something that obviously 0:30:46.000 --> 0:30:47.320 they do really really well well. 0:30:47.400 --> 0:30:51.080 Not many quarterbacks. Have you ever seen Jalen hurt Slift weights. 0:30:51.280 --> 0:30:52.160 Yeah, he's a big dude. 0:30:52.320 --> 0:30:55.200 Yeah, Like he's strong, he's in the weight room, he's 0:30:55.360 --> 0:30:57.600 he's really in the lower body. I mean he's the 0:30:57.640 --> 0:30:59.760 squat rocks and stuff like that. I mean, he is 0:31:00.120 --> 0:31:04.040 like legendary for the amount of so his ability to 0:31:04.160 --> 0:31:06.840 when he gets that. What's amazing to me is they 0:31:07.000 --> 0:31:10.600 never mess up the snap. Now, for example, your game 0:31:10.640 --> 0:31:14.000 against Clemson the other day, you guys are trying to 0:31:14.000 --> 0:31:16.040 get a fourth down play and what happens. The ball 0:31:16.080 --> 0:31:19.960 goes goes right through right through you know, Manning's hands 0:31:20.000 --> 0:31:21.240 and now it ends up. I mean, that could have 0:31:21.240 --> 0:31:24.120 been a disaster, it could have been a but it's 0:31:24.160 --> 0:31:27.720 like they get the snap, even with their center with 0:31:27.840 --> 0:31:31.360 Jurgens and it goes back to the Kelsey. They never 0:31:31.720 --> 0:31:36.000 mess up that snap. It's always like everybody's pushing and 0:31:36.080 --> 0:31:38.400 they get the snap. Every single time, there's never any 0:31:38.440 --> 0:31:42.520 the balls on the ground or it's a the ball sideways. 0:31:42.960 --> 0:31:45.760 It just you got to start with that snap and 0:31:45.800 --> 0:31:49.000 so they're able to get the surge, the quarterback surge 0:31:49.080 --> 0:31:52.320 because of his lower body power and that's why they 0:31:52.360 --> 0:31:53.200 get that thing home. 0:31:53.480 --> 0:31:56.320 Off topic, I mean, but going back to last week 0:31:56.480 --> 0:32:01.040 against Tampa with Baker Mayfield, what I don't remember what 0:32:01.120 --> 0:32:04.440 the center's name is, but with him in the snaps, 0:32:04.600 --> 0:32:07.520 there's so many times where he's just having to kind 0:32:07.520 --> 0:32:08.880 of jump to get the ball. 0:32:10.400 --> 0:32:15.000 Part of the rookie center. Yeah, it was threw off 0:32:15.040 --> 0:32:17.280 a couple of plays. You know, when you're when you're 0:32:17.320 --> 0:32:19.960 having to jump and then corral the ball and then 0:32:20.040 --> 0:32:21.760 try and execute the play. 0:32:21.960 --> 0:32:25.120 That's like, as a viewer me, you never truly think 0:32:25.160 --> 0:32:27.640 of that part of the game or truly appreciate until 0:32:27.680 --> 0:32:30.400 you see bat snaps and you're like, okay, because you 0:32:30.480 --> 0:32:33.160 just think of it as an automatic, perfect snap. 0:32:33.200 --> 0:32:34.600 But it's not always that way. 0:32:34.760 --> 0:32:40.320 No, say Derek, Derek's heart fell, I mean didn't. I mean, seriously, 0:32:40.320 --> 0:32:42.160 you saw that ball on the ground. You're like going, 0:32:42.200 --> 0:32:44.280 WHOA wait a minute, what I mean? They didn't even 0:32:44.320 --> 0:32:47.360 get the snap. It just goes flying out the skin. 0:32:47.240 --> 0:32:48.400 And then when he got on the ball, I was like. 0:32:48.400 --> 0:32:51.000 Oh, yeah, what are we doing? 0:32:52.720 --> 0:32:55.320 Yeah, that'll stop your heart real quick. But let's go 0:32:55.360 --> 0:32:57.120 back to that Tampa game and let's talk about that 0:32:57.200 --> 0:33:00.120 running game, because I think we all agreed on Monday. 0:33:00.400 --> 0:33:02.360 But for the fact that Dallas was able to get. 0:33:02.200 --> 0:33:04.040 An early lead and keep that lead and put the 0:33:04.040 --> 0:33:06.200 pressure on them and really take them out of the 0:33:06.240 --> 0:33:08.360 running game, that could have been a whole different outcome 0:33:08.640 --> 0:33:11.640 from the standpoint of how successful they were using the 0:33:11.680 --> 0:33:13.120 running game early in the game. 0:33:13.480 --> 0:33:15.240 That being said, when you try to look. 0:33:15.080 --> 0:33:19.360 At what Dallas was where they were deficient against Tampa 0:33:19.400 --> 0:33:21.560 in the run, in their run defense, how does that 0:33:21.560 --> 0:33:23.720 match up with what Philadelphia likes to do and does 0:33:23.760 --> 0:33:25.280 that create opportunities for Philadelphia? 0:33:25.320 --> 0:33:29.760 Yeah, you know, Philadelphia is a Philadelphia's offensive line is 0:33:29.800 --> 0:33:32.960 clearly better, and I think they're better from the standpoint 0:33:33.040 --> 0:33:36.360 of the physicality and not that Tampa is because if 0:33:36.400 --> 0:33:38.480 you know, their tackles are good, they're you know, their 0:33:38.520 --> 0:33:41.520 centers are rookie. But you look at you look at 0:33:41.560 --> 0:33:44.200 Philadelphia in the way that they come off the football, 0:33:44.320 --> 0:33:49.920 it is a down hill, you know, Tampa similar, Bucky 0:33:49.920 --> 0:33:53.040 Irvin similar, But the way the sa Kwon Barkley is 0:33:53.120 --> 0:33:56.240 just so explosive and they get holes they get I 0:33:56.240 --> 0:33:59.200 mean it, and it doesn't matter when you watch when 0:33:59.240 --> 0:34:01.880 you watch Phil, if you run the ball, sometimes you 0:34:01.920 --> 0:34:04.800 could get you can get a You look at the metrics, 0:34:05.000 --> 0:34:08.759 you know, like, oh, back is really good, running outside right, 0:34:09.200 --> 0:34:12.360 back is really good, running inside left. You know you 0:34:12.400 --> 0:34:16.480 could you could pick up metrics. Yeah, yeah, every metric 0:34:17.239 --> 0:34:22.320 about Saquon Barkley is just as successful. Runs at all 0:34:22.560 --> 0:34:27.080 points of the offensive line. It's not like it's not like, okay, 0:34:27.320 --> 0:34:30.040 you could run stuff. And like we were Joe Mixon 0:34:30.280 --> 0:34:34.280 when we when Cowboys played Houston several weeks ago, Joe Mixon, 0:34:34.440 --> 0:34:37.560 all his runs were outside left, outside left, outside left, 0:34:37.560 --> 0:34:41.120 pick and then he ran outside right, no game, no 0:34:41.280 --> 0:34:45.359 game stuff. You know, inside right stuff. You know there's 0:34:45.360 --> 0:34:48.600 some guys that have that and this guy doesn't have that. 0:34:48.719 --> 0:34:51.640 And where they where they where they really are good 0:34:51.800 --> 0:34:55.560 or with this guy though, too is they've got tackles, 0:34:55.560 --> 0:34:59.439 they've got they've got size, massive size on the left 0:34:59.440 --> 0:35:02.319 side of that offensive line. They get a really good 0:35:02.400 --> 0:35:05.239 athlete at the right tackle who can get out and 0:35:05.400 --> 0:35:07.960 like so you get the tight end, you get the 0:35:08.000 --> 0:35:10.560 tackle on the right side, that ball could get to 0:35:10.600 --> 0:35:13.200 the edge just because you've got the ability to kind 0:35:13.239 --> 0:35:15.279 of the double team blocks and things that they have 0:35:15.400 --> 0:35:19.480 going on over there. They want to run more power, 0:35:19.840 --> 0:35:22.840 they go behind Jordan mylotta over on that left side 0:35:22.880 --> 0:35:25.719 because that's where but this this back hits it at 0:35:25.760 --> 0:35:28.839 all levels, Dallas. Dallas is going to have their hands full. 0:35:28.880 --> 0:35:32.399 They're going to need, you know, Kendricks back in this 0:35:32.440 --> 0:35:34.879 one too. I mean, lea foul did a nice job, 0:35:34.920 --> 0:35:40.480 but but Kendricks lea foul, the Mazzi Mazzi had, Mazzi 0:35:40.560 --> 0:35:43.120 had five tackles. The last time these two teams played, 0:35:43.160 --> 0:35:46.520 Mozzi's played well against division teams. They're going to need 0:35:46.560 --> 0:35:49.279 to be really, really really stout aut front, especially if 0:35:49.400 --> 0:35:52.080 Hurts doesn't play, because I like, I'm with you, Derek, 0:35:52.480 --> 0:35:54.560 if it's picket, they're going to try and get this 0:35:54.600 --> 0:35:58.080 thing as close to one hundred and fifty yards as 0:35:58.120 --> 0:35:59.799 they can to maybe set it up for him the 0:35:59.800 --> 0:36:00.439 next week. 0:36:01.040 --> 0:36:03.600 I'm going through and trying to figure out when was 0:36:03.640 --> 0:36:07.080 the last When was the last game where an offense 0:36:07.320 --> 0:36:11.680 was able to run all over the Cowboys I'm trying 0:36:11.719 --> 0:36:13.959 to go back and made it. 0:36:14.080 --> 0:36:16.240 Let's see Washington seventy four yards. 0:36:16.360 --> 0:36:19.480 No, I mean they since the bye, since the buye, 0:36:19.560 --> 0:36:20.919 they've done a much better job. 0:36:21.160 --> 0:36:23.919 Remember like the last the last one. 0:36:24.080 --> 0:36:27.440 Oh, it goes back to like Baltimore's the Texans were, Yeah. 0:36:27.280 --> 0:36:30.400 Where they got up to one hundred and nine yards 0:36:30.640 --> 0:36:35.640 with mixing one hundred nine nine mix nine. He had 0:36:35.680 --> 0:36:37.480 one hundred and nine. He was a leader on that. 0:36:37.760 --> 0:36:42.640 But uh, yeah, that's the highest. And then after Houston, 0:36:43.480 --> 0:36:48.560 so against Commanders, the Giants, the Bengals, Panthers, Bucks, so far, 0:36:48.680 --> 0:36:51.239 all of those games, the Cowboys have been able to 0:36:51.320 --> 0:36:53.480 do a really good job as stopping the run. 0:36:54.800 --> 0:36:55.400 Played better. 0:36:55.800 --> 0:36:56.839 They definitely played better. 0:36:56.880 --> 0:36:58.880 And I think what I'm the reason why I was 0:36:58.880 --> 0:37:02.080 hesitating there is because I'm thinking, I don't think any 0:37:02.120 --> 0:37:06.799 of those teams necessarily considered great running, right, yeah, so 0:37:07.040 --> 0:37:08.560 so you got to have to factor that in a 0:37:08.560 --> 0:37:08.960 little bit. 0:37:09.040 --> 0:37:10.520 But but stopping the run and stopping the. 0:37:10.480 --> 0:37:12.200 Run, like early in the year, there was some teams 0:37:12.200 --> 0:37:14.200 that aren't I don't considered to be great running team, 0:37:14.200 --> 0:37:16.839 don't running the ball well against Dallas, So it does 0:37:17.000 --> 0:37:18.959 that's not just the indicator every time. 0:37:19.400 --> 0:37:20.720 So I think they've gotten better. 0:37:21.360 --> 0:37:23.360 If you guys were to say what you think is 0:37:23.400 --> 0:37:25.560 the reason why they're better or why they've been so 0:37:25.640 --> 0:37:26.799 much better, what would you say? 0:37:26.800 --> 0:37:27.080 It is? 0:37:28.520 --> 0:37:34.399 MMMM to me. I think they had They had some 0:37:34.480 --> 0:37:38.799 guys that have played that early the year. I don't 0:37:38.800 --> 0:37:41.319 think they were ready to defend the run. I think 0:37:41.440 --> 0:37:45.280 Mazie's gotten better playing the run. We've seen, We've seen developed, 0:37:45.280 --> 0:37:48.400 We've seen what Os has been able to do. Golston 0:37:48.480 --> 0:37:51.520 has played the run pretty well. You know, you've got 0:37:51.520 --> 0:37:54.879 some guys, Uh look at loss and and him having 0:37:54.920 --> 0:37:59.040 to play the linebackers as a whole. You know, overshown 0:37:59.239 --> 0:38:02.759 was running down making tackles for loss. They just had. 0:38:02.880 --> 0:38:04.880 They just did a better job with their fits and 0:38:04.920 --> 0:38:08.160 finished where Detroit Baltimore didn't. It seem like they were 0:38:08.160 --> 0:38:12.160 really out of whack. Yeah, they were the Saints. They 0:38:12.239 --> 0:38:14.760 were getting to the edge, Guys were getting compressed, guys 0:38:14.760 --> 0:38:17.880 were getting walled off, Guys couldn't get to the ball. 0:38:18.840 --> 0:38:21.279 Dallas is doing a much better job with their linebackers 0:38:21.280 --> 0:38:24.000 and the defensive lineman not letting guys get to second 0:38:24.080 --> 0:38:26.840 level blocks on them too. And I feel like earlier 0:38:26.920 --> 0:38:29.640 year they missed a ton of tackles and then it 0:38:29.680 --> 0:38:32.879 allowed them to allowed opponents to have a little bit 0:38:32.960 --> 0:38:35.279 better of you know, Okay, it should be a gain 0:38:35.320 --> 0:38:37.479 of should be a gain of three, but actually turns 0:38:37.520 --> 0:38:40.120 into a gain of seven because they had a miss 0:38:40.160 --> 0:38:43.120 and now they're now they're dealing with that. But I 0:38:43.120 --> 0:38:46.560 think they I think the play of the young players, 0:38:47.200 --> 0:38:50.520 like I said, the Masis you know, and and and 0:38:50.640 --> 0:38:54.200 overshown and guys like that were really leaf out, were 0:38:54.239 --> 0:38:56.440 really a big help for them playing the run, playing 0:38:56.520 --> 0:38:57.560 better run defense. 0:38:58.320 --> 0:39:01.640 Yeah, And I think, uh, to me, a key area 0:39:02.000 --> 0:39:05.040 are the linebackers and what they were doing in each game. 0:39:05.480 --> 0:39:08.480 And you talked about them improving, but overall it's just 0:39:08.480 --> 0:39:12.640 like you just see collectively a group that's playing better, 0:39:12.840 --> 0:39:16.719 tackling better and connected in what they're doing and just 0:39:16.840 --> 0:39:20.080 more aware of what's happening on the field. Something that 0:39:20.120 --> 0:39:23.239 I think a lot in previous times when they were 0:39:23.280 --> 0:39:26.399 struggling with that was there quick with the read and 0:39:26.480 --> 0:39:30.239 knowing okay, making that quick turn and moving fat and 0:39:30.320 --> 0:39:34.560 being fast and getting there to the to the rusher 0:39:35.160 --> 0:39:39.200 the running back, sorry the running back and making that 0:39:39.719 --> 0:39:42.160 tackle be a successful one. So I think it's just 0:39:42.200 --> 0:39:45.120 the fact that everybody is more in sync and aware 0:39:45.160 --> 0:39:49.200 of what's currently happening and reacting a lot faster to 0:39:49.320 --> 0:39:49.760 the play. 0:39:49.960 --> 0:39:52.279 Yeah. I just went back and checked and bar you. 0:39:53.400 --> 0:39:56.800 The last time they really got gashed in the running 0:39:56.800 --> 0:39:59.120 game was against Philadelphia. They get one hundred and eighty 0:39:59.160 --> 0:40:01.240 seven yards. You know that. 0:40:02.160 --> 0:40:05.640 But that's when you take into account Hurts and what 0:40:05.800 --> 0:40:07.880 he does in the running game as well. 0:40:09.560 --> 0:40:13.439 Let's see you what was your question. 0:40:13.520 --> 0:40:14.920 I was asking how many Barkley had. 0:40:15.120 --> 0:40:21.480 I'm wondering if six six h my god, sixty six. 0:40:21.719 --> 0:40:23.879 Yeah, well he only had sixty six years. 0:40:23.960 --> 0:40:27.839 Yeah, but then you had Herds with fifty six yards yeah, 0:40:28.920 --> 0:40:29.640 and then Shipley. 0:40:30.360 --> 0:40:32.600 But they had a total of one hundred and one 0:40:32.640 --> 0:40:34.040 hundred eighty seven eighty seven. 0:40:34.239 --> 0:40:36.520 Yeah. They they they give up. They gave up over 0:40:36.600 --> 0:40:39.680 two hundre yards rushing to San Francisco after the bye 0:40:39.760 --> 0:40:41.640 and then and then you're like, oh, jesu, this is 0:40:41.719 --> 0:40:44.640 only going to get out McCaffrey. Yeah. So they've they've 0:40:44.840 --> 0:40:48.000 they've they've done a better job. Like I say that 0:40:48.000 --> 0:40:51.360 that the the one eighty seven, it was one eighty seven, 0:40:51.400 --> 0:40:56.160 then one against Houston, one against the commanders now the 0:40:56.200 --> 0:41:00.880 Giants one sixteen seventy four against the Bengals, sixty against 0:41:00.920 --> 0:41:03.560 the Panthers, one hundred and thirty four against Tampa. So 0:41:04.239 --> 0:41:06.800 they've they are better. They've gotten better. Yeah, the last 0:41:07.160 --> 0:41:09.440 the last five, the last four weeks, it was you know, 0:41:09.480 --> 0:41:12.239 the one sixteen seventy four, sixty one thirty four, So 0:41:12.320 --> 0:41:15.520 much better than where they were, you know, pre buy. 0:41:15.640 --> 0:41:18.839 You know that they had they had some one two 0:41:19.000 --> 0:41:23.000 seventy four, you know, one eighty four with the Lions, 0:41:23.040 --> 0:41:25.480 they had. They've had some bad days playing it. 0:41:25.560 --> 0:41:28.080 I mean, the way that they're doing it now, it 0:41:28.160 --> 0:41:31.239 makes it manageable where you can manage the game and 0:41:31.280 --> 0:41:35.040 they're not just winning time of possession every time and 0:41:35.080 --> 0:41:39.640 then killing you with the running game. But the problem 0:41:39.719 --> 0:41:41.680 has been before the cow is it goes back to 0:41:41.760 --> 0:41:44.680 the offense and then not taking advantage of what the 0:41:44.760 --> 0:41:46.279 defense was doing at the time. 0:41:46.320 --> 0:41:49.839 Their their their offense was absolutely no help in this game. 0:41:49.920 --> 0:41:52.080 Last time when you played, and that was Cooper. 0:41:51.920 --> 0:41:55.160 Rush's first start, six points, he was awful. 0:41:55.640 --> 0:41:58.200 He was awful. And then Trey Lance. Remember they tried 0:41:58.200 --> 0:42:00.160 to use Trey Lance a little bit and all that, 0:42:00.280 --> 0:42:03.040 but boy, there there was that was as bad as 0:42:03.080 --> 0:42:05.160 you can get offensively when you look at over all 0:42:05.200 --> 0:42:06.279 the metrics of that game. 0:42:06.480 --> 0:42:09.800 Yeah, when you look at this matchup, is the most 0:42:09.840 --> 0:42:13.040 concerning part for the defense going to be whoever is 0:42:13.040 --> 0:42:14.120 playing opposite Bland. 0:42:15.040 --> 0:42:18.640 Yeah, I think so, because they they to me, this 0:42:18.760 --> 0:42:22.439 is how they went after Carson. You know, they they're 0:42:22.520 --> 0:42:25.480 not gonna mess with Bland. They're just not. That's why 0:42:25.520 --> 0:42:28.279 I kind of felt like that with you know, with 0:42:28.840 --> 0:42:33.040 Makuamu and then Lewis now Lewis Lewis, they were they 0:42:33.040 --> 0:42:35.440 were three for three for thirty five yards and a 0:42:35.480 --> 0:42:38.320 touchdown on Lewis in this game, you know, the last 0:42:38.320 --> 0:42:41.200 time that they met. I mean so I think that 0:42:41.600 --> 0:42:43.879 not that Lewis will be ready to play, Don't get 0:42:43.880 --> 0:42:47.920 me wrong, but maybe that's why I Isy And then 0:42:48.200 --> 0:42:52.040 also then with Lewis and then with h with Bland, 0:42:52.360 --> 0:42:54.800 I just kind of feel like you're matched up better 0:42:54.880 --> 0:42:56.960 across the board that way, but they don't see it 0:42:57.000 --> 0:42:57.600 that way. Yeah. 0:42:57.600 --> 0:42:59.880 I think with Izzy too, like you're you're about to 0:43:00.200 --> 0:43:02.080 you're about to face one of the bigger receivers in 0:43:02.120 --> 0:43:02.720 the NFL. 0:43:03.200 --> 0:43:06.160 I think having somebody that has the size of Izzy. 0:43:06.040 --> 0:43:08.440 Actually I think would be a pretty good matchup, but 0:43:09.120 --> 0:43:11.600 I don't know. Obviously, you're right, they tend to still 0:43:11.640 --> 0:43:14.600 go away and you know, Ao, I'm sorry, Ao, and 0:43:15.040 --> 0:43:16.839 and just kind of think that it's okay throw them 0:43:16.840 --> 0:43:19.560 out there. But I don't know, I worry about that 0:43:19.600 --> 0:43:21.839 match up as much as I worry about them trying 0:43:21.880 --> 0:43:23.080 to stop Barkley in this game. 0:43:23.200 --> 0:43:25.600 I really do. I just think that I think, especially 0:43:25.640 --> 0:43:29.160 if we'll see with Hurts plays, but if it's picket, 0:43:29.560 --> 0:43:32.360 get ready. I just you're gonna get get ready for 0:43:32.760 --> 0:43:35.799 twelve personnel and just they're gonna try and just beat 0:43:35.840 --> 0:43:37.399 you up, and they're gonna try and get this guy 0:43:37.440 --> 0:43:41.040 as many yards as they can, you know, running the football. 0:43:40.760 --> 0:43:42.600 Chance in a little bit of rain too, so you 0:43:42.680 --> 0:43:44.719 had that in. It's definitely a game where you like, 0:43:44.800 --> 0:43:46.840 let's load up and run the ball. 0:43:46.719 --> 0:43:48.720 And they probably feel like that they can shut Cooper 0:43:48.800 --> 0:43:50.520 rush down defensively. 0:43:50.600 --> 0:43:56.080 And I was gonna say that what is encouraging, although yes, 0:43:56.200 --> 0:44:00.279 you're definitely missing having the Marvin over shown on the field, 0:44:00.320 --> 0:44:02.200 but it is encouraging. 0:44:01.840 --> 0:44:04.320 When you see what Leo file has. 0:44:04.200 --> 0:44:07.399 Been able to do, and he's he's been pretty good 0:44:07.480 --> 0:44:10.239 at what he's doing currently and the way they're utilizing 0:44:10.320 --> 0:44:12.880 him as well. And then you talk about Nick Vigil, 0:44:13.200 --> 0:44:17.480 he's another guy who is aggressive like he's been playing. 0:44:17.719 --> 0:44:21.200 When he's on the field, you notice him. And now 0:44:21.239 --> 0:44:24.280 he is in the injury report currently with the foot 0:44:24.280 --> 0:44:25.120 injury every week. 0:44:25.320 --> 0:44:30.319 Yeah, yeah, I think it seems like he doesn't practice done. 0:44:30.960 --> 0:44:33.120 But then the times that he's shown up on the field, 0:44:33.160 --> 0:44:36.319 he's making tackles and being there and so you see 0:44:36.400 --> 0:44:40.840 him he's making highlight plates. So uh, those two guys 0:44:40.920 --> 0:44:44.200 are encouraging in the fact that when you lose a 0:44:44.239 --> 0:44:47.960 guy like Overshown, and even with Kendricks dealing with what 0:44:48.239 --> 0:44:51.520 he's dealing with, you don't feel like, yeah, there is 0:44:51.560 --> 0:44:54.839 a drop off for sure, but it's not huge. There 0:44:54.880 --> 0:44:57.440 are still guys that are going out there and making plays. 0:44:57.760 --> 0:45:00.560 Philadelphia has to be happy that Overshown, it's not playing 0:45:00.680 --> 0:45:01.000 the game. 0:45:01.120 --> 0:45:03.520 Absolutely sure. They are all right, We appreciate you guys. 0:45:03.680 --> 0:45:06.680 On sworrow and we will wrap up this thing, tell 0:45:06.680 --> 0:45:09.160 you what we think is gonna happen Sunday at noon, 0:45:09.239 --> 0:45:11.000 Cowboys will take on the Eagles to them for Brian 0:45:11.040 --> 0:45:11.840 brought us in amregarci. 0:45:11.880 --> 0:45:12.520 I'm Derek Eagleson. 0:45:12.560 --> 0:45:14.560 This has been The Break live on Dallas Cowboys dot 0:45:14.600 --> 0:45:15.760 Com Radio. 0:45:16.680 --> 0:45:19.680 This has been a production of Dallascowboys dot Com and 0:45:19.800 --> 0:45:22.760 the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
