Welcome to another edition of The Break, 0:00:34.479 --> 0:00:37.040 live from the s WBC Morgan Studios at the Star 0:00:37.159 --> 0:00:41.520 talking Cowboys football for Where's that? Where is that energy? 0:00:41.840 --> 0:00:43.560 I haven't even said anything yet. How do you know 0:00:43.600 --> 0:00:45.400 I don't have it? Well, you just started. How do 0:00:45.479 --> 0:00:48.880 you know yesterday? How do you know? I got energy 0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:52.519 out the wazoo today? I actually like this. Let's keep 0:00:52.520 --> 0:00:54.560 it going like this is good. You've done eighty one 0:00:54.600 --> 0:00:59.640 of these shows since March, yes, since April, April. Whatever. 0:01:01.000 --> 0:01:02.760 It's a lot and we still got a lot to go. Yeah. 0:01:02.800 --> 0:01:06.560 We are only halfway through the season. Yeah, you're right. 0:01:06.920 --> 0:01:09.080 That was cute. And we haven't even like a married 0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:11.680 couple stop and we haven't even we haven't even talked 0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:15.199 about playoffs playoffs, Well we can if they win this game, 0:01:15.680 --> 0:01:18.560 can we? Yes? I say that till Friday, but I 0:01:18.640 --> 0:01:20.440 just jumped right in with it. Didn't we talk about 0:01:20.520 --> 0:01:22.880 them like tuesday? Anyway, they'll make the playoffs if they 0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:26.200 win this game. That's not that's my opinion. They will 0:01:26.240 --> 0:01:29.119 make the playoffs just based on this one. Yeah, this 0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:31.640 is the swing game. This is the this is that 0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:34.399 game that they didn't win last year that Atlanta won 0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:36.319 and it kind of propelled them. I'm not saying it's 0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:38.919 exactly the same. Didn't we say Washington was the swing 0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:42.000 game like three weeks ago? You have to win that one. 0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:43.520 We have to win that. I mean you can't. I 0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:47.120 meant the one that they already lost. Oh yeah they lost, Yeah, 0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:49.600 but you are. You also probably had the big L 0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:52.840 already written in Philadelphia, So they came back on that 0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:55.880 one much much Tennessee. You would know. What's interesting on 0:01:55.920 --> 0:01:58.559 that note, right now, the Cowboys are owing four against 0:01:58.560 --> 0:02:00.960 teams at winning records. They're four won against teams with 0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:03.720 losing records, five of their last seven against teams with 0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:09.240 losing records. Well, they haven't been consistent, but it certainly 0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:11.359 lines up to where they can actually get on a 0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:13.600 roll here if they continue to do what they've been doing. 0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:18.160 People come up with like different facts and like stuff 0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:23.720 like that, graphics of like make away. You could also 0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:26.720 say this team hasn't won a game on the road 0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:30.839 against the team with a winning record, and but just 0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:33.640 try to find a way to make it makes sense. 0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:36.120 And to be honest with you, even if you go 0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:38.959 that that's that they have to still win one, I 0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:40.400 think they still got to win at least one of 0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:43.040 those games against winning record teams would be Washington and 0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:45.760 New Orleans. They gotta beat Washington if they expect to 0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:48.320 win the division because if not, that means that Washington 0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:50.160 wouldn't have a tie break over them and head to 0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:52.560 hit the means no way they get to like division 0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:55.160 without that. I like where I like. I like your hotspa. 0:02:55.680 --> 0:02:58.160 Uh yeah, this is how I see it, And Jason 0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:00.839 Garrett wouldn't think this way. But you win this game 0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:03.120 to get to five and five, Yeah, you gotta beat 0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:05.600 the Redskins. You just have two, six and five, Okay, 0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:08.120 six and six, then you got then you got the Eagles. 0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:11.600 They're not beating the Saints. Even though I know you're 0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:15.080 saying somebody's gonna beat them. And I just noticed close 0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:16.840 they were to being o and two. I mean, Cleveland 0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:19.079 had them beat, but they didn't beat them. So the 0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:20.600 next thing, you know, look at they're one of the 0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:23.240 best ever six and they're rolling. They got the Eagles 0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:25.640 coming back again. I still I didn't. I don't think 0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:28.079 that the Eagles are that good now, I really know. 0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:30.560 I think the Cowboys got it wasn't the injuries. I mean, 0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:32.560 I think their secondary has been so decimated. I think 0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:35.360 that's why the Cowboys had the success they did. I'm 0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:37.520 interested to see how that works against the defense, where 0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:40.240 maybe they have a secondary still intact. It's not going 0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:42.280 to be this week because, as we'll talk about with 0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:44.560 the Atlanta defense, they've got a lot of injuries themselves. 0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:46.520 But then they got to face that Eagles team again, 0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:49.440 who's done pretty well this season against the past. They'll 0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:52.240 beat them and seven and six. They'll split those middle 0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:54.240 two games, even though they need to win them both, 0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:57.280 they won't. They'll be what seven have eight and seven. 0:03:57.320 --> 0:03:59.440 They'll beat the Giants nine and seven. I think they'll 0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:01.360 win the East with the nine and seven. Do you 0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:02.920 think a nine a second records? They're gonna go five 0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:05.800 and two down to stretch in your opinion, Yep, that's 0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:07.760 and I'm glad you said that because that's what the 0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:09.920 heck of a run, that's what has to happen, because 0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:12.280 that's even if they win this game. I'm sitting here thinking, 0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:17.080 all right, Washington six and three, So I think ten 0:04:17.120 --> 0:04:18.920 and six is gonna win this division every Yeah, I 0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:21.839 definitely ten. I think I think the Cowboys shot right 0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:24.640 now is they gotta win six of I mean six 0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:26.920 to the last seven. They have to win at least nine, 0:04:26.960 --> 0:04:29.599 if not ten. And I think we can all agree 0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:32.160 that the NFC East is not getting a wild card, yeah, right, 0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:34.320 one of those is going to the NFC South, and 0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:37.760 then I would guess probably the North yea. In that 0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:40.320 scenario that I just said at nine and seven, that 0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:42.240 means the Redskins have to go three and four to 0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:45.479 get to nine and seven. You've tied them, but you'll 0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:48.280 you'll definitely have a better record than the division because 0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:51.240 you'd be five and one in the division if you 0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:53.080 go if you do that round, if you go five 0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:56.400 and two, I don't know, it's gonna be tough. I mean, 0:04:56.440 --> 0:04:59.360 Tampa in Indianapolis we're kind of you know, they're it's 0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:01.800 amazing going on the road and getting to win, can 0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:07.720 do because changes the conversation. But no, it's that opens 0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:09.800 the door for them to walk through it right here 0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:12.640 against to Atlanta. You don't win this game. I don't 0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:15.160 see those scenarios that gonna win six in a row. 0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:18.800 And this conversation is pretty funny. It's funny, but I mean, 0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:23.360 I am, but it's just funny listening to you guys. 0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:26.640 I'm talking about this way I started. It's possible. It's 0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:28.520 he's driving the car and I just yanked it in 0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:30.600 the ditch. All right? How many how many of their 0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:36.960 losses are in the NFC? Carolina, Seattle, uh, Washington? That's it, 0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:41.640 is it? Yeah? Because yeah, so that could be big. 0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:44.960 It's if you're gonna split those two games, you better split, 0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:47.240 you better lose the colds. And that's well. But that's 0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:49.320 the thing is those tie breaks didn't come down when 0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:51.159 you start talking about that's why they don't get in 0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:53.160 the wild cards because the teams that would probably be 0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:55.560 in the wild card they've already lost to Carolina, They've 0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:57.760 already lost to Seattle. Like those are teams that will 0:05:57.760 --> 0:05:59.840 be right there firmly in that hunt. I mean, makes 0:05:59.839 --> 0:06:02.240 it tough. They can't they can't lose this game and 0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:05.120 expect to realistically make the playoffs, because I mean it's 0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:08.560 an NFC team. Puts them another game behind not only 0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:10.760 the Redskins, but all the other teams fighting for a 0:06:10.800 --> 0:06:14.279 wild card. So they got they got their work cut 0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:16.960 out for him. They absolutely do. Must go through the 0:06:17.000 --> 0:06:19.280 injury report. As you guys mentioned yesterday, there were a 0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:22.280 ton of defensive linemen they were out yesterday. Um, catch 0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:24.200 us up on what we know at this point about 0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:27.560 who's out and and what we're thinking is the status 0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:30.640 of those guys. It's mostly still bad. Malik Collins returned 0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:33.440 to the field, and everybody else is still out. Antoine 0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:37.720 Woods is out, Taco Charlton is out, Daniel Ross is out. 0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:39.920 And wait, when you're saying out, you're not. You're not 0:06:39.960 --> 0:06:41.920 making the deflation out for their out of practice two 0:06:42.000 --> 0:06:48.480 days out of practice tossion. At this point, I guess, yeah, 0:06:48.520 --> 0:06:50.920 what he's in the protocol? I guess at this point, which, yeah, 0:06:50.960 --> 0:06:54.760 that happened in the game, Sure, I guess. I just 0:06:54.960 --> 0:06:57.919 I never noticed kind of round out of those planes. 0:06:58.200 --> 0:06:59.839 You said it was the quietest plane. Maybe you got 0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:02.080 knocked out. I mean, I don't know. It was just 0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:05.400 a surprising injury to see on the report for me. Yeah, 0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:08.760 at least I wasn't expecting that. I'm not ruling anybody 0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:12.600 out for the game. But it's Thursday, and if you 0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:16.640 haven't done something by Thursday, I fully expect that they're 0:07:16.680 --> 0:07:19.040 gonna have to make a move on call out somebody 0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:23.120 from the practice squad, probably Christian Ringo and Aziz Shitto. 0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:26.240 Talking to what they have right now at defensive tackle, 0:07:26.320 --> 0:07:29.160 they have to play today. Who is well available to them? 0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:32.640 If I'm talking on the current active ruster. If they 0:07:32.640 --> 0:07:36.480 had to play today, you would guess Malik can maybe 0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:40.520 do something for you. Tyrone can play defensive tackle, but 0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:43.000 Tacos also not available, so he would probably have to 0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:47.120 play some end. You got Karan Read and am I 0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:50.160 forgetting somebody? Um, those three are gonna have to play 0:07:50.200 --> 0:07:53.840 tackle and your ends are gonna be Armstrong Gregory and 0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:58.320 DeMarcus Marcus Lawrence. There's six, that's all you got, so 0:07:58.320 --> 0:08:00.600 you're gonna have to have more body if nothing else, 0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:04.440 bodies hold out hope for Friday. Maybe you know, if 0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:06.800 if Woods can get out of the protocol. At least 0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:08.920 you know it's not a fit. You know, you don't 0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:10.240 want to make a lot of concussions, but it's not 0:08:10.240 --> 0:08:12.480 a physical ailment that keeps them from playing. So if 0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:14.880 you can clear the protocol. But like I said, I 0:08:14.920 --> 0:08:17.280 really yeah, I really think they'll have to do something 0:08:17.320 --> 0:08:19.440 with one of those defensive tackles just to have enough 0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:21.720 bodies to play. Yeah, but that could be a bit 0:08:21.760 --> 0:08:23.440 of a challenge too. I mean, you think about how 0:08:23.480 --> 0:08:25.800 this defense is played. I think the tackles are big 0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:28.040 part of that. I think stopping the run they've been 0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:30.160 really good, and I think they've been at times been 0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:33.320 able to get push up the middle that's affected passers. 0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:36.360 And you're talking about maybe the best passing attack maybe 0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:39.200 that you've seen all season. I would say definitely'll have 0:08:39.240 --> 0:08:42.080 your best pass rushers though you're you know you're three, 0:08:42.160 --> 0:08:44.760 but best pass rushers you still have intact right, But 0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:47.800 think about that though, when you're talking about pass rushers, 0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:51.679 that what makes in my opinion, what makes pass rushers 0:08:51.679 --> 0:08:54.320 effective is when they get a push, because otherwise, how 0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:56.520 many times do you see the defensive end going around 0:08:56.559 --> 0:08:59.160 the outside and the tackle just kind of rides them 0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:03.000 right around around the quarterback because quarterback doesn't have to 0:09:03.040 --> 0:09:05.320 come out like they can just step right into the pocket. 0:09:05.520 --> 0:09:08.079 So if your tackles aren't getting pushed, I mean one 0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:11.040 of those three best press is a tackle. Crawford, he's 0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:13.880 gonna pushing and Malik will be there. So at least 0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:16.080 you're getting two guys who are starters. So you thought 0:09:16.080 --> 0:09:18.200 would be the starters all that year. You got starters. 0:09:18.400 --> 0:09:21.080 You just don't have anybody rotation with him, which again 0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:23.000 can be part of a challenge. Yeah that, I mean, 0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:25.360 it's really more the depth is the thing that concerns 0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:28.800 me more than not having players Like, yeah, we just 0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:31.640 three guys went down in one game four days ago. 0:09:31.720 --> 0:09:36.120 So Connor Williams he was limited yesterday with a knee injury. Uh, 0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:39.480 he missed the last game. Um, what are you guys 0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:42.200 hearing about him? And what are the chances that, even 0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:44.640 if he's healthy that he does not start this week? 0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:49.720 No chance for that because he um, the Cowboys won't 0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:52.240 say that he will be banged up or something. He 0:09:52.280 --> 0:09:54.200 won't be. It will be like they're not gonna say 0:09:54.200 --> 0:09:57.040 he's completely healthy, he will not start. Garrett's not gonna 0:09:57.080 --> 0:09:59.480 say that Garrett doesn't want to hurt the young guys 0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:01.400 feelings or whatever like that. He's not gonna do that. 0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:04.120 He's gonna be likely. He's still working through through some 0:10:04.240 --> 0:10:07.120 things and we'll see and you know, he wasn't quite 0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:08.959 there yet, and we're gonna go with tou a Filo. 0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:11.000 He played well the other day too, That's what he'll say. 0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:13.839 And as annoying as it is when coaches lie to us, 0:10:13.960 --> 0:10:16.040 I appreciate it in this instance. I think that's the 0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:18.400 right way to play it to Connor Williams has played 0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:21.319 well for the most part this year. He's had his 0:10:21.360 --> 0:10:25.679 share of struggles. Um Xavier su a Filo handled one 0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:28.040 of the best defensive tackles they've played all year. He 0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:30.080 did it with Flying Colors. They played their best game 0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:32.439 on the ground. He's coming off a niscope. There's no 0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:35.000 reason to rush him out there. See what you got, Okay, 0:10:35.000 --> 0:10:37.840 So let me project three weeks from now. Let's assume 0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:40.120 that he's still sitting there and see a Field is 0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:42.280 playing well. If he does, he can't keep saying the 0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:46.360 injury right, no, and it's the Hey, we've seen this before. 0:10:46.640 --> 0:10:49.240 What will happen is Connor Williams will read a statement 0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:53.400 in front of all the two years ago today. By 0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:55.560 the way, it was two years ago to play. Yeah, 0:10:55.920 --> 0:10:58.200 we really two years to today? Yeah it was that 0:10:58.280 --> 0:11:02.839 really a huh. It's so sad. No, that's football is 0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:06.640 a meritocracy. As a veteran quarterback once told me, if 0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:09.160 they go to Atlanta and just pile drive these guys 0:11:09.160 --> 0:11:11.839 and run for two hundred yards, it's to a filo's job. 0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:14.400 And that's why I'm looking at it. And and Connor 0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:17.240 Williams will understand that he's been playing football his whole life. 0:11:17.360 --> 0:11:22.160 It's assum's game. Assuming this happens, which we got to 0:11:22.200 --> 0:11:25.560 see it, let's be fair. But assuming that happens, it's 0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:28.200 not an indictment on Connor williams ability or his future. 0:11:28.240 --> 0:11:30.760 It's just these things happen in football, and he'll have 0:11:31.200 --> 0:11:35.040 four more or three more years worth of opportunities to 0:11:34.760 --> 0:11:37.320 do to be there. It's fine. I want some irony 0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:39.679 to this whole thing if this goes down this way. 0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:44.200 So thirteen years ago, I don't care how old you 0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:46.640 guys were, but thirteen years ago, two thousand and five, 0:11:47.840 --> 0:11:50.280 it was very long ago. Cowboys had drafted a second 0:11:50.360 --> 0:11:53.200 round pick in Jacob Rodgers to play. Remember they play 0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:56.680 right tackle or left tackle or whatever. But before that, 0:11:56.800 --> 0:11:58.880 they had picked up a guy who had been a 0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:01.680 first round pick, but he was kind of going through 0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:04.199 injuries and stuff like that, and I just picked about 0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:06.199 see if he'll be good, and then he ends up 0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:09.680 actually starting that year and then started the next seven 0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:13.079 years because he really his first round talent finally got 0:12:13.120 --> 0:12:15.719 to that level. That guy who's Mark Colombo, who was 0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:18.880 now the offensive line coach. To this situation as the 0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:22.559 Cowboys have a second round pick and a former high 0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:24.920 second which is very similar to what Colombo was drafted. 0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:29.760 If it goes down, life works. But Connor Williams has 0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:33.160 showed more ounce of fight in like his first practice 0:12:33.200 --> 0:12:35.800 than Jacob Rogers ever showed in the two years that 0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:38.120 he was here. So I don't want to compare those 0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:40.560 two guys like a great problem. Connor Williams is going 0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:44.160 to play somewhere. He's something I don't know. Actually I'm 0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:46.080 writing it's I'm not done with it, but I'm writing 0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:47.640 about this in my column. Like I said, it's not 0:12:47.679 --> 0:12:50.600 a long term indictment of Connor Williams. He needs more 0:12:50.640 --> 0:12:54.080 time to get ready again, we've how many we've seen 0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:57.280 this three or four times before already? Zavier Stuephilo was 0:12:57.320 --> 0:12:59.080 the first pick of the second round, Like, this is 0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:02.360 not some scrub, Like he's a talented guy. They plugged 0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:04.440 him into a line that has a lot of talent, 0:13:04.920 --> 0:13:07.040 going back to a scheme that they're familiar with, Like 0:13:07.080 --> 0:13:10.280 it makes sense that he would play well here. It 0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:12.040 also makes it, you know, like, well, why didn't they 0:13:12.040 --> 0:13:13.720 do this the first seven eight weeks of the years? 0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:15.760 Like well, it also makes sense that you want the 0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:17.960 guy you spend a second round pick on to get 0:13:18.200 --> 0:13:21.520 acclimated as quickly as possible and contribute as quickly as possible. 0:13:21.559 --> 0:13:25.520 Like all of these things make sense, Like hindsight, it 0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:28.199 can be so dangerous, Like it doesn't make you dumb 0:13:28.240 --> 0:13:30.320 that you tried it one way and you know, and 0:13:30.360 --> 0:13:32.160 it doesn't make you dumb for not going back to that. 0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:35.600 I like Suaphilo, and I think that he actually will 0:13:35.640 --> 0:13:37.800 be the starter. I really that's what I believe. But 0:13:37.920 --> 0:13:41.440 let's not forget that. Chas Greene filled in for Tyrn 0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:43.560 Smith for a couple of weeks, played well, and we 0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:46.800 had pretty high expectations of what he could do. It 0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:50.680 didn't really work out obviously, So I'm just saying, let's see. 0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:52.800 You know, there's a reason Houston cut to a field. 0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:54.920 Let's see, or they can cut they let him go. 0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:56.920 They just didn't let him go through his contract. Tennessee 0:13:56.920 --> 0:14:01.040 cut him. Yeah, so we'll we'll see. But I just 0:14:01.200 --> 0:14:02.960 I don't know. I have this feeling about him that 0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:06.319 he's gonna be pretty good. How do two I really do? Great? 0:14:06.360 --> 0:14:09.800 Thing is we'll get I bet, I bet you fifty dollars. 0:14:09.840 --> 0:14:11.959 He starts in Atlanta and we'll find we'll get to 0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:14.600 find out. So and the thing about is I keep 0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:17.120 just going back to it was It wasn't Jay Eddie 0:14:17.120 --> 0:14:18.959 played well last week. It was Eddie played well against 0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:22.000 that galaxer that matters so much in the grand scheme 0:14:22.040 --> 0:14:23.880 of all. If he plays well this weekend, I'll be like, 0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:26.280 huh okay, because there's not a guy that's across from 0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:28.000 him that you're like, that is a stud that he's 0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:30.080 gonna have a hard time with. That's where we all 0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:32.560 thought last week going up against Fletcher Cox, and he 0:14:32.640 --> 0:14:36.160 did a very very nice job. Zach Martin and Tyron 0:14:36.200 --> 0:14:38.320 Smith are both back to practice too. I expect them, 0:14:38.440 --> 0:14:40.720 which was expected. Right, All right, let's go ahead and 0:14:40.760 --> 0:14:42.320 take our first break. When we come back, we're gonna 0:14:42.320 --> 0:14:44.920 get into Dave Scouting Report. Today. We're talking about the 0:14:44.960 --> 0:14:49.480 Atlanta Falcons defense unit that was young and very and 0:14:49.720 --> 0:14:51.720 pretty good last I should say very good, but pretty 0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:54.200 good last year. Um, but they've been had some injuries. 0:14:54.200 --> 0:14:55.560 We'll talk about that when we come right back. This 0:14:55.600 --> 0:14:57.640 is Dallas Cowboys dot com Radio.

That's why the Cowboys rely on more than 0:16:33.600 --> 0:16:37.360 just stats and scouting reports when building their team. When 0:16:37.360 --> 0:16:40.080 picking a tractor, it's why you should rely on more 0:16:40.120 --> 0:16:42.600 than just specs and features. You've got to take it 0:16:42.640 --> 0:16:45.600 out and put it to the test. The Cowboys did 0:16:45.600 --> 0:16:49.520 when they named John Dear their official tractor experience one 0:16:49.600 --> 0:16:52.640 for yourself. I visit my John Dear dealer dot com. 0:16:52.640 --> 0:16:57.680 Slash Football Back to the Break Welcome Back. It is 0:16:57.720 --> 0:16:59.880 a second segment of The Break live from the SWBC 0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:04.240 Morgan Studios at the Star Sucks Him. Atlanta Falcons versus 0:17:04.359 --> 0:17:08.480 Dallas Cowboys this Sunday noon game. Dave talked us about 0:17:08.480 --> 0:17:13.320 this Atlanta Falcons defense. Okay, they're not very good. Oh wow, 0:17:13.640 --> 0:17:18.520 m thirtieth in total yards per game, thirtieth against the past, 0:17:18.600 --> 0:17:23.560 twenty first against the run, and twenty ninth in scoring. 0:17:23.600 --> 0:17:24.960 I think we should just forfeit this whole guy, like 0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:28.480 just say, I mean, hey, every time I say somebody's bad, 0:17:28.760 --> 0:17:30.480 they show up, they show up. And every time I 0:17:30.560 --> 0:17:33.560 say somebody's good, we the Cowboys dominate them. So maybe 0:17:33.560 --> 0:17:35.399 we shouldn't do that anymore. Maybe we should just kill 0:17:35.440 --> 0:17:39.680 this whole segment. Hey, my week would be so less 0:17:39.880 --> 0:17:42.480 much less stressful if I didn't have to do this, honestly, 0:17:42.680 --> 0:17:45.520 but uh no, I mean to be fair of the Falcons. 0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:49.120 They're dealing with some injuries and that's literally line one 0:17:49.240 --> 0:17:51.439 for this week for me, is is Dion Jones going 0:17:51.520 --> 0:17:53.679 to be back or not? He broke his foot in 0:17:53.720 --> 0:17:56.480 the season opener. He's a Pro Bowler, went to LSU. 0:17:56.600 --> 0:17:58.080 That's kind of what we do. We put out Pro 0:17:58.119 --> 0:18:02.480 Bowl players. Um, all right, that's what. How who's leading 0:18:02.520 --> 0:18:06.560 the NFL in the past? He did know that? No, 0:18:06.840 --> 0:18:09.960 I don't even he's got more pvus than anyone in football. 0:18:10.520 --> 0:18:17.360 Mo baby Mo claiborne. Where he's with the Jets. He's 0:18:17.400 --> 0:18:20.440 with the Jet I that is a decade ago. I mean, 0:18:20.560 --> 0:18:22.600 we don't have to do this. Dion Jones is one 0:18:22.640 --> 0:18:25.119 of the best young linebackers in football. He broke his 0:18:25.119 --> 0:18:28.199 foot in the season opener. Uh, he is back on 0:18:28.240 --> 0:18:31.159 the roster. He was limited yesterday. I don't know if 0:18:31.160 --> 0:18:33.840 he's gonna play that. They say they're gonna be cautious 0:18:33.840 --> 0:18:35.880 with him, but he is a difference maker and I'm 0:18:35.920 --> 0:18:37.680 sure if they think he can go, they will throw 0:18:37.720 --> 0:18:42.200 him out there. Um, he's undersized, but he's fast. Uh 0:18:42.440 --> 0:18:45.840 he sidelined to sideline speed. Like, I don't know that 0:18:45.880 --> 0:18:48.600 he can single handedly turn this thing around for the Falcons, 0:18:48.600 --> 0:18:51.040 but he can definitely make a difference. They also don't 0:18:51.080 --> 0:18:55.440 have Keyant O'Neil, which literally the middle of their defense 0:18:55.560 --> 0:18:58.440 was such a strength with Grady Jarrett, Dion Jones and 0:18:58.520 --> 0:19:01.000 Keyan O'Neil, and they lost two of the three within 0:19:01.040 --> 0:19:04.040 the first two weeks of the season. Neil's not coming back. 0:19:04.720 --> 0:19:09.160 Jones might be back. Um. Ironically, the guy that replaced 0:19:09.240 --> 0:19:12.520 Kean O'Neil, Demante Kazi, is leading the league and interceptions 0:19:12.600 --> 0:19:15.600 right now. So they do have talent, But this is 0:19:17.040 --> 0:19:18.600 If that's the case, then why are they having such 0:19:18.640 --> 0:19:22.960 a problem. That's honestly, I'm okay. Injuries is one, but 0:19:23.040 --> 0:19:25.240 then like guys that you used to be able to 0:19:25.320 --> 0:19:27.760
