Speaker 1: Glad you're with us as always for this Friday, because

Speaker 1: course we've got Cowboys Nation about to have some fun
Speaker 1: with us over the next couple of minutes. But gentlemen,
Speaker 1: how are we doing? Good? Good? Yeah, I've got something
Speaker 1: eye okay, well, you sound like you about the cuff
Speaker 1: up a fair firball that also, yeah, I've got a
Speaker 1: little bit of both going on. It's not necessarily the
Speaker 1: best best start for me, let us know. Yeah, No,
Speaker 1: I'm good. Goodness, gracious, Rob, how are we doing today?
Speaker 1: Doing all right? We already have that drop somewhere, Chris.
Speaker 1: I know you said, hey, say it with your chest.
Speaker 1: It's already done. I don't think this one was as bad,
Speaker 1: but it's early in the morning. And it's funny because
Speaker 1: I had a radio call already, and I had no
Speaker 1: problems on the radio call, and then I step in
Speaker 1: here and it's nothing but just coughing, and I don't know,
Speaker 1: maybe I'm allergic. That's okay, Yeah, that's fine, Isaiah. How
Speaker 1: are you? I am doing? Good? Man? You know, Rob
Speaker 1: here's giving me, uh some Billy Billy Hoyle type vibes
Speaker 1: right now. Looks like he about to go play a
Speaker 1: pickup game from from White Man. Can't Joe damn run?
Speaker 1: You mean play basketball. Yeah, that's yeah. I just I'm
Speaker 1: only missing my parental advisory T shirt right exactly. Oh,
Speaker 1: I love it. Rob was a hooper back in the day.
Speaker 1: He still could probably hoop if it wasn't for the
Speaker 1: knees in the back. Oh man, Rob, he would be
Speaker 1: to be a sleeper, just like white Man Joe Rob.
Speaker 1: How how many of Billy Hoyle. I'm sure if Rob
Speaker 1: actually wanted to get out and actually play, I feel
Speaker 1: like he would probably guy a game. He probably wear
Speaker 1: the high socks, putting, the putting, the cash in the
Speaker 1: socks and everything. Oh goodness, I want to see that
Speaker 1: so bad, two different socks. That's did you if we
Speaker 1: ever have this fake uh inter show competition that we
Speaker 1: were always talking about, and I'll just I'll be the
Speaker 1: free throw guy. I'll just stay at work. Now you
Speaker 1: you did see chef that just pulled his blew his
Speaker 1: mcl doing doing the gritty. He did the gritty. So
Speaker 1: so that's Rob p Rob Pie's gonna pull his back out.
Speaker 1: It's called so don't even Rob. Rob can play. He
Speaker 1: can play like horse or something. That's what it'll be.
Speaker 1: It'll be a shooting contest. Yeah, where you're standing still
Speaker 1: and you choose a spot and then you shoot, so
Speaker 1: that that'll be what Rob's able to I'm gonna leave
Speaker 1: the running to you guys. Yes, is that ever gonna happen? Probably,
Speaker 1: I'm not fooling a Rod p Rob Peel like, who
Speaker 1: just pulled some straight damn Marley out and just start
Speaker 1: busting from it from just the half half corps. That
Speaker 1: would be so, so fantastic. But all right, let's talk
Speaker 1: some cow Boys. It is a Friday. Cowboys take on
Speaker 1: the Eagles tomorrow, which is wild. That's a Saturday game.
Speaker 1: Cowboys are fifteen and fourteen all time in Saturday games.
Speaker 1: For those wondering, Robbinny news and notes coming out of yesterday,
Speaker 1: I know there was a couple of big names put
Speaker 1: on the COVID list. We'll get to that in a moment.
Speaker 1: But what else came out of practice yesterday? Well, I'll
Speaker 1: say I'll save the COVID news for you. I was
Speaker 1: I think, honestly, maybe the rest of this season into
Speaker 1: the playoffs, maybe we got to start news and notes
Speaker 1: with the COVID news, because that is the elephant in
Speaker 1: the room, hanging over the Cowboys, hanging over the rest
Speaker 1: of the league, and all the rest of the teams
Speaker 1: that have made the playoffs. Man, just who can stay
Speaker 1: healthy beyond injuries. As far as injuries go, the Cowboys
Speaker 1: are relatively healthy going into this game. They've got a
Speaker 1: couple guys questionable, Tony Pollard with the foot and jay
Speaker 1: Ron Curse with the hamstring, so both guys would have
Speaker 1: been limited on Thursday if they had had an actual practice.
Speaker 1: So that's encouraging going into the game. But again, you know,
Speaker 1: the Cowboys have said even as far as yesterday, Mike
Speaker 1: McCarthy said, the plan is still to play the starters.
Speaker 1: You know, if guys are banged up, though, we'll see
Speaker 1: what the playing time will look like for guys dealing
Speaker 1: with stuff, and that includes z you know, maybe Zeke.
Speaker 1: We'll see. I mean, he says he's playing. He's not
Speaker 1: on the injury report this week in terms of game
Speaker 1: status designation, but something to keep an eye on with
Speaker 1: guys who've been banged up. Do you expect that to happen, Isaiah?
Speaker 1: I mean, we were just talking about this a couple
Speaker 1: days ago, and I believe it was the Tuesday Show
Speaker 1: about whether or not to rest guys. But you also
Speaker 1: didn't have your starting left tackle out, you didn't have
Speaker 1: potentially a couple other players not playing in the game
Speaker 1: as well, So does that change your thinking at all
Speaker 1: on the way that you attack this one Initially? No,
Speaker 1: I think I say, I believe there's going to be
Speaker 1: there's going to be a point in this game where
Speaker 1: you do pull your starters out in preparation for the
Speaker 1: following week. But I think that you need to be
Speaker 1: in a good place in terms of the win and
Speaker 1: you know, you're presenting your opportunities to win that ball
Speaker 1: game at that point in time in the game, and
Speaker 1: then also how you're feeling about the execution of your
Speaker 1: of your game plan at that point in time. So
Speaker 1: I think it's kind of twofold. You need to be
Speaker 1: in a position to win the ball game, and then
Speaker 1: you also need to be feeling good about how you
Speaker 1: guys have performed. Yeah, my opinion is that this team
Speaker 1: that the coaches look at this as a preseason game,
Speaker 1: especially with what's going on with COVID and ECHO and
Speaker 1: everything that you just basically said, uh and pulling guys
Speaker 1: after you know, hey, you've seen what you needed to see. Obviously,
Speaker 1: there have been coaches in the league like Belichick even
Speaker 1: in preseason games where he doesn't see what he needs
Speaker 1: to see and guys stay out there for a whole
Speaker 1: four quarters. But I think with a talent depleted team
Speaker 1: due to covid uh do the guys being on the
Speaker 1: little knickknack injuries that they have right now, I think
Speaker 1: it's no no sense in risk it at all in
Speaker 1: this game, especially knowing what you may potentially have coming
Speaker 1: to at and T Stadium next week. Yeah, and it's
Speaker 1: such a fine line that you have to tell because
Speaker 1: if you treat it like a preseason game, you still
Speaker 1: want to win the game. I mean, it is a
Speaker 1: regular season match. You need to win the game. You
Speaker 1: want to win the game to get into the momentum
Speaker 1: and the playoffs. You need to win the game because
Speaker 1: even though it's a ninety three percent chance that you're
Speaker 1: gonna hold where you're add in terms of your positioning
Speaker 1: in the playoffs and you're ranking, you still need to
Speaker 1: you need to win a game because if as you
Speaker 1: mentioned yesterday, there's an if, there's an if factor, and
Speaker 1: that if factor is a huge if because if if
Speaker 1: the situation, if the situation plays itself out, now you're
Speaker 1: going from the four seed all the way up possibly
Speaker 1: to the two seed. That's major in this NFC. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's potentially another home game. It's another home game, that's cool.
Speaker 1: But I'm talking about the type of competition that you're
Speaker 1: gonna face in the playoffs. Is a huge difference. You're
Speaker 1: talking about the Eagles as opposed to the rams of
Speaker 1: the Cardinals. Absolutely. Yeah, we knew that last week though,
Speaker 1: right did we not? We knew that the seating, that
Speaker 1: there would be a seating difference. I mean even the
Speaker 1: way now they lost our opportunity last week. They screw
Speaker 1: it up, right, And what I'm saying is even the Eagles,
Speaker 1: if they lose, they could potentially go from seven to
Speaker 1: six because there's so many other games that are contingent
Speaker 1: on one another. So I'm not looking all I'm handling
Speaker 1: this cowboy business and saying that right now, with what
Speaker 1: p just said, we're relatively healthy. Besides the key the injuries,
Speaker 1: the key individuals. We have to understand Jeron Curse, if
Speaker 1: he doesn't play, he's the guy that wears the green
Speaker 1: dot as well, who's gonna who's gonna take up the
Speaker 1: mantle on that? There's just so many other things that
Speaker 1: are going I want to see this defense obviously get
Speaker 1: some turnovers, do some great things, but I want to
Speaker 1: see him get off the field as soon as possible.
Speaker 1: And all of that's going to be contingent on Hey,
Speaker 1: if we could go out there and get a big
Speaker 1: lead and get our guys out, Yeah, go and smack
Speaker 1: him in the mouth real quick, Rob And did those
Speaker 1: guys in Philly did they get off the COVID list yet? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's well, I'm not sure about everybody. I think Nick
Speaker 1: Sirianni said that at least a couple of guys, including
Speaker 1: Jason Kelsey, we're gonna be good to go for this game.
Speaker 1: But but you know what we're talking about right now
Speaker 1: is the same questions they're talking about it Billy, Like,
Speaker 1: how long does Sirianni plan to play his starters as well?
Speaker 1: So this game may just come down to availability who's
Speaker 1: out there and you know who, how many key guys
Speaker 1: were playing? How many snaps for both teams in this game? Well,
Speaker 1: and we know at the moment, at least as of Thursday,
Speaker 1: heading into Friday, the Cowboys will be without three of
Speaker 1: their starters, Micah Parsons and then yesterday adding Tyron Smith
Speaker 1: and Anthony Brown to the mix as well in terms
Speaker 1: of COVID list. So that's the COVID news today. Tyren Smith,
Speaker 1: we've seen what this offensive line looks like without him.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be Terrence Steele Tian Secki at the left
Speaker 1: tackle spot. One of the two probably gonna be Tyansecki
Speaker 1: at least that's what it was lately for the Cowboys,
Speaker 1: and then Anthony Brown. I don't know if we've really
Speaker 1: seen a depleted cornerback room outside of the one game
Speaker 1: where Jordan Lewis missed. So Kelvin Joseph time, Kelvin Joseph
Speaker 1: available to try and take some significant STAPs here. Rob, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that's definitely a possible. Well, I don't think
Speaker 1: it's a possibility with no Anthony Brown. I think absolutely
Speaker 1: is an opportunity for him and they the Cowboys have
Speaker 1: been very impressed with not only his production in the
Speaker 1: in the low amount of snaps he's gotten on defense,
Speaker 1: but just his approach to everything. You know, he wasn't
Speaker 1: He wasn't a big special teams guy in college and
Speaker 1: didn't expect to be a special teams guy when he
Speaker 1: came into the league as a second round draft pick
Speaker 1: and he's embraced that role this season after he came
Speaker 1: back from the growing injury. So they've been really happy
Speaker 1: with him, and you've seen it and these some of
Speaker 1: these snaps that he's had. You see his talent, you know,
Speaker 1: and his ability to cover. So I'm excited to see
Speaker 1: him out there and get a full dose for sure, Isaiah.
Speaker 1: I think he has to. I think he needs the reps.
Speaker 1: As you started talking about some of the depth that
Speaker 1: you're going over that you're going to require going into
Speaker 1: the playoff run at that position, specifically because of the
Speaker 1: type of receivers that you're going to be facing. He
Speaker 1: needs the reps. We talked about it all the way
Speaker 1: back in camp, how he needs to get some exposure,
Speaker 1: and then obviously throughout this regular season he didn't get
Speaker 1: enough raps. Over the last few weeks, he started getting
Speaker 1: back on the field and starting get into his legs
Speaker 1: underneath them coming off the injury and all that jazz,
Speaker 1: But it is a necessity for him to get some
Speaker 1: form of wear and tear on him. He needs to
Speaker 1: get his feet underneath him. He needs to get a
Speaker 1: sense of confidence because when he steps on the field
Speaker 1: and make his contribution in the playoffs. It's gonna be
Speaker 1: against the best dudes this league has an offer. And
Speaker 1: I think we're all surprised that Kevin josh did getting
Speaker 1: more run than what he's been seeing here lately. And
Speaker 1: you're right, I meaning of coming out of camp, you
Speaker 1: thought that Kelvin Joseph was going to be a part
Speaker 1: of that rotation. That's the testament to Jordan Lewis and
Speaker 1: the job that he's done. But you know, I'm with
Speaker 1: Rob too. You know, better late than never, better get
Speaker 1: in here now. And let's let's take the same approach
Speaker 1: with what we said yesterday about Michael Parsons being out
Speaker 1: and other guys like Luke Gifford. Obviously, these are not
Speaker 1: names that you're used to saying, hey, let's get these
Speaker 1: guys some playing time. But you know you're gonna need
Speaker 1: all of these guys in the playoffs, especially if you
Speaker 1: make a deep run, especially if there are injuries and COVID.
Speaker 1: That's another thing that's kind of worried about about the
Speaker 1: fact going into this playoff run and you saw one guy,
Speaker 1: now it's two guys. I mean, this is how those
Speaker 1: types of things begin, and it's terrifying honestly to think
Speaker 1: about how a playoff push could be upended by positive
Speaker 1: COVID tests. So, Rob, I mean, you haven't necessarily been here,
Speaker 1: but you've been plugged in on what is happening in
Speaker 1: that regard of the cowboys taking any extra steps in
Speaker 1: terms of trying to slow down what could be a
Speaker 1: COVID spread, well, I mean they're they're doing everything they
Speaker 1: can in terms of the proto following the protocols. They've
Speaker 1: gone virtual recently with meetings, you know, and and guys
Speaker 1: are trying to you know, take their own steps personally.
Speaker 1: You know, you hear guys talk about that. You heard
Speaker 1: Dak talk about that. Um, So you know they're doing
Speaker 1: what they can. But as we know we see it
Speaker 1: in society, this omicron variant is so contained just um
Speaker 1: that you know, you can be fully vacs, you can
Speaker 1: be boosted, you can get it, and that you know,
Speaker 1: the good news about it, if you want to call
Speaker 1: the silver lining, is that, uh, it does appear to
Speaker 1: be milder. Guys are getting over it faster, and that's
Speaker 1: one reason why I think the NFL has changed their
Speaker 1: protocols that allow guys get faster, get back faster, it's
Speaker 1: not a guaranteed ten days anymore. And so that's encouraging,
Speaker 1: you know, for you guys, you just mentioned that Michael Parslons,
Speaker 1: who's on the list this week, you would think, no
Speaker 1: problem and hope he gets it, feels good, feel gets
Speaker 1: back quick. He should be back for the playoff game.
Speaker 1: But like you said, I mean if this happens next
Speaker 1: Thursday or next Friday to somebody, that certainly puts their
Speaker 1: their availability in jeopardy. And that that is the that
Speaker 1: makes this playoffs the ultimate crapshoot right now, because it
Speaker 1: can really happen to anybody. And uh, and you're just
Speaker 1: crossing your fingers. And so you know, Trayvon Diggs you mentioned, uh,
Speaker 1: he's on the He's on the list with an illness
Speaker 1: non COVID. The same with David Wilson. So just keep
Speaker 1: an eye on anybody who's feeling sick and just see
Speaker 1: how see how it develops. And and you know, you
Speaker 1: just hold you just cross your fingers. That's all you
Speaker 1: can do. Oh man, I hate every single part of that. Well,
Speaker 1: I'm not looking man, It's true though. He Keep keep
Speaker 1: up with your workouts. Get you some thigh pass, get
Speaker 1: you a couple of knee pads, get ready to hit
Speaker 1: this thing just in case they got a call on you. Heck,
Speaker 1: one's got that linebacker. And if they had to call
Speaker 1: you in right now, heck, but what position are you
Speaker 1: going in? At? Hey? Just how much is the check though? Oh?
Speaker 1: You getting? You get? You getting about a good five
Speaker 1: for the game, seventy five five for the game? Whatever?
Speaker 1: Then back wide receiver. You know, I'm not gonna get
Speaker 1: on my soapbox about this, man, I've been so pissed
Speaker 1: off at everything when it comes down to this variant,
Speaker 1: this virus, and you know what our players are doing,
Speaker 1: what other players around the league are doing, They're saying, look,
Speaker 1: I got to Look, I'm just I'm just not gonna
Speaker 1: do it. All I'm going to say right now is
Speaker 1: that the our window of opportunity just open. It opens
Speaker 1: next week, it does, and whistle right through that whistle,
Speaker 1: all right, and that's all. We have our opportunities and
Speaker 1: we have got to have They got to take this
Speaker 1: thing serious right now, and whether it be look, four
Speaker 1: weeks of isolation. I've heard saying like you, saying like
Speaker 1: you want them to go get go on lockdown for
Speaker 1: four weeks. Heck, all I'm saying is you know what
Speaker 1: you have at steak. If you know what you have
Speaker 1: at steak, then you take the precautions. Like you heard
Speaker 1: guys talking about through Thanksgiving, through Christmas, family wasn't coming in.
Speaker 1: Now we have a situation where man, we're paying for
Speaker 1: the Lombardi. The Omni Hotel is right over here, is beautiful.
Speaker 1: I need you, I need to hear you said, lock
Speaker 1: it down, he bubble everybody. You have the opportunity, and
Speaker 1: you talk You talked about this all the way back
Speaker 1: in the early parts of the season. You talked about it.
Speaker 1: You get one shot at this, one shot at it,
Speaker 1: and you don't want to mess it up. I mean,
Speaker 1: how easy would it be for you to make that decision.
Speaker 1: I mean it's easy for us to sit in this
Speaker 1: room and talk about it because we're not on the team.
Speaker 1: We're not the ones that are having to bubble up.
Speaker 1: But if you're a player, where should this be on
Speaker 1: your priorities? High? Very high. I played six seasons, I
Speaker 1: had I think five five playoff opportunities, and probably there's
Speaker 1: two teams that I felt like I could have walked
Speaker 1: out with the ring. You know too, you know, two
Speaker 1: opportunities out of those five opportunities, I think we could
Speaker 1: have walked away with the ring. I was blessed to
Speaker 1: be one of the individuals in this league that walked
Speaker 1: away with a ring. And I know there's a lot
Speaker 1: of players that I know personally that are way better,
Speaker 1: that were way better players than I was, that did
Speaker 1: not walk away with one. And you know, they walk
Speaker 1: away with their stats, they walk away with their experiences
Speaker 1: and their memories, but they don't walk away with something
Speaker 1: significant to say that that they were a part of
Speaker 1: the greatest thing that ever happened. And I would hate
Speaker 1: for guys to miss that opportunity, which is very prevalent
Speaker 1: right now. It's definitely on the cusp just simply because
Speaker 1: of come fruit or simply because of convenance or inconvenianced. Right,
Speaker 1: take advantage of the fact that you're playing for the
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys. The Dallas Cowboys have an amazing resources. Jerry
Speaker 1: Jones has laid things out here perfectly in terms of
Speaker 1: being on a walk over to the hotel, walk straight
Speaker 1: into the practice facility, walk straight into the meetings, have
Speaker 1: all your food at your disposed of everything that you
Speaker 1: need right there. You don't have to do anything. You're
Speaker 1: gonna be saying at the Omni well, the band through
Speaker 1: the fruity right, You're not staying at anything else the
Speaker 1: Omni okay, and you have the top of the line facilities.
Speaker 1: Take advantage from us if there's an opportunity to lock
Speaker 1: this thing down. Lock it down. You have all four
Speaker 1: or I'll take it back. After this week. You got
Speaker 1: a five week stretch, five week stretch where you can
Speaker 1: go out there, shoot your gun and hopefully walk away
Speaker 1: with something because this team will not be the same
Speaker 1: next year's. Man. That's the God's unerst truth man, and
Speaker 1: lock it down. That's all I have. And I think
Speaker 1: the only as you were saying all of this, I'm
Speaker 1: thinking about, you know, being secluded from possibly my family
Speaker 1: from man and my wife wouldn't forgive me, but she
Speaker 1: will forgive. The vacation after the super Bowl, that's true.
Speaker 1: That's true. I wonder where we're at in terms of
Speaker 1: the offense and defense and their vacation. Bet that they
Speaker 1: made with the touchdowns versus turnovers, I have to go
Speaker 1: back and look at that, well, the offense had three
Speaker 1: touchdowns that good. Yeah, example, when we went to the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl when I was with the Giants. We went
Speaker 1: and my wife was sure she was nine months pregnant.
Speaker 1: Nine months pregnant, okay about the pop okay, And I
Speaker 1: told her, I said, hey, chill out, like I'll be back. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go out. We're gonna go out here and
Speaker 1: take care of this game, and then I'll be back
Speaker 1: to take care of you. Just chill, I don't We
Speaker 1: don't need any accidents, no no pressure from the airplane,
Speaker 1: none of that stuff, you know, bringing on you know,
Speaker 1: bringing on your your delivery too early. My wife looked
Speaker 1: at me like I was crazy. She said, you think
Speaker 1: I about to miss this. There's no way in the
Speaker 1: world I'm about to miss this opportunity. She dumb, And
Speaker 1: to come on, my wife was, I'm talking about stuff
Speaker 1: way out here. She hopping over the front dog on,
Speaker 1: you know, hopping over the dog on the seats, hopped
Speaker 1: onto the after the game, because you recognize she recognized
Speaker 1: that this was a very important opportunity. This was a
Speaker 1: once in a lifetime chance that I had had all
Speaker 1: the great teams that I was a part of, this
Speaker 1: was one shot, right, and she was not going to
Speaker 1: miss that. So she was really willing to go through
Speaker 1: whatever it took to handle, to handle all the different
Speaker 1: inconveniences on being uncomfortable, all those things, you know, risking
Speaker 1: you know, the pregnancy in terms of coming earlier than
Speaker 1: you want, simply because she knew how important it was
Speaker 1: going to be. That's that, I mean, that's one way
Speaker 1: to put it. That's that's a great way to put it.
Speaker 1: And I think the Cowboys should certainly have that in
Speaker 1: their thought process going into this final week. And can
Speaker 1: you if they haven't already, can you imagine what Jerry
Speaker 1: would do with all the parade, the ring we were watching,
Speaker 1: of course, Dirk retired as Jersey a couple days ago
Speaker 1: and they had had his whole thing going on at
Speaker 1: the American Airline Center and they were showing all the
Speaker 1: footage of the parade. I was like, Wow, that parade
Speaker 1: was nuts, man, that was crazy. That's my greatest memory.
Speaker 1: Could you imagine? It would be ridiculous? Could you don't
Speaker 1: get him at It would be ridiculous, But the ring
Speaker 1: would be even more insane. Jerry would spare no expense
Speaker 1: you've ever seen, like a china plates. It would probably
Speaker 1: be the first three ring, like even like brass knuckles.
Speaker 1: You have to probably put it on y'all. Y'all are
Speaker 1: doing what I've been doing all week with the Powerball
Speaker 1: of deal. So stop man trying to win the lottery,
Speaker 1: just imagining that all would happen here. All right, Let's
Speaker 1: take our first break. When we come back, we'll tell
Speaker 1: you how to make some money on Draft Kings. Who
Speaker 1: is your Draft Kings player to watch? We'll hit that
Speaker 1: and tell you who else you should be looking out
Speaker 1: for in the Cowboys and the Eagles when we come
Speaker 1: back with more talking Cowboys. There's nothing as unique as

Speaker 1: I quit it. Rob Phillips back again. We've got Isaiah Stanback, Harrison,
Speaker 1: Chris Beam. We're sorry everybody at home listening. We've got
Speaker 1: some inside jokes and we can't we can't share it. Nope,
Speaker 1: we cannot share that. I will not not this one.
Speaker 1: All right, Let's take a look at some of our
Speaker 1: DraftKings players to watch this week. Of course, DraftKings you
Speaker 1: can compete every week for over a million dollars in
Speaker 1: prizes on DraftKings dot Com. And this is not against
Speaker 1: the New York Giants up at the top. But this
Speaker 1: is against the Philadelphia Eagles. We promise these are our
Speaker 1: current picks. Tony Pollard up there at the top, which
Speaker 1: is six thousand dollars along the way. That's my pick.
Speaker 1: And the reason I say that is he had sixty
Speaker 1: yards in a touchdown in Week three against this Philadelphia team.
Speaker 1: If they do decide to limit the workload of Ezekiel Elliott,
Speaker 1: I think Tony Pollard will see a ton of time
Speaker 1: out there at the running back spot. Heck, my Harrison,
Speaker 1: who'd you have? I have Malik Turner. And the reason
Speaker 1: I went Malik value pick? Yes, value pick, but also
Speaker 1: this looks like a game for the value pick because
Speaker 1: he may get a number of reps in this game
Speaker 1: due to the fact that we're gonna pull like our
Speaker 1: guys after the first quarter. What are they gonna pull
Speaker 1: it because of score? Because of score? I'm on there.
Speaker 1: But are they going to pull Darius Slay? Probably they
Speaker 1: need to, they should if they knew what was good
Speaker 1: for him. I mean, they have a secondary beside, that's
Speaker 1: the only big name they have. So I figur if
Speaker 1: you're going to Tampa, that's gonna be your first game.
Speaker 1: You may want to have Darius healthy. Just saying Malik
Speaker 1: Malik Turner in you think about the games where he
Speaker 1: has played significant snaps. I mean he's played exceptionally well.
Speaker 1: So hey, I like it. It's a fantasy value pick
Speaker 1: from heck Ma Harrison. All right, Isaiah, who did you have? Well,
Speaker 1: there's no discounts over here. I'm going with the old
Speaker 1: Dalton Schultzenegger. You gotta see him fifty three hundred dollars.
Speaker 1: But there's a reason why I'm picking mister Dalton. Shows
Speaker 1: Dalton has had He's fell off, all right, He's fell off,
Speaker 1: and he wants to get back up on that thing.
Speaker 1: Anybody ever fell off a jet ski before you hurry
Speaker 1: up and you can you climb back up on the
Speaker 1: thing because you're not sure what's in the waters. So
Speaker 1: Dalton Schultz is going to climb back up on that
Speaker 1: thing because he knows that Blake Jarwin's in the water,
Speaker 1: and Blake Jarwin is on his way back. And you
Speaker 1: see the opposing rank right there, thirty one. The Eagles
Speaker 1: suck against those guys against tight end positions. So Dalton
Speaker 1: wants that old thing back. He's gonna try to get
Speaker 1: it back this week. Can we take a second, So
Speaker 1: your fear when you fall off a jet ski is
Speaker 1: what's in the water, not necessarily just getting back on
Speaker 1: the jet ski, and give me about the water you
Speaker 1: can't see in there. Chris Beam has the kind of
Speaker 1: jet skis that will pick you, scoop you up out
Speaker 1: of one's arm and retractable arm and it just goes
Speaker 1: out amazing. Yeah, I don't have that. I usually just
Speaker 1: rent mine. That's what. What do you think he does
Speaker 1: after the shows? He just goes all the way out
Speaker 1: to the laking gret so the Lion's jet ski. All right, Rob,
Speaker 1: who is your pick here on DraftKings? Yes, Chris has
Speaker 1: all the jet skis. I like. I like that analogy.
Speaker 1: I'll go with Cedric Wilson kind of the same reason
Speaker 1: as Heck, we'll see how long the starters play in
Speaker 1: this game. I mean, I you know, I don't think
Speaker 1: we really know for sure how it's gonna go. And
Speaker 1: is there a more efficient player on this roster than
Speaker 1: Cedric Wilson, then targeted fifty five times this season, has
Speaker 1: forty catches. He's like a high efficiency player in the NBA,
Speaker 1: you know, a solid three and D guy, he's gonna
Speaker 1: be efficient from three, He's gonna d up. Cedric does
Speaker 1: all those little things at the receiver position, plays special
Speaker 1: teams as well. Uh. And he saw what he could
Speaker 1: do with Michael Gallop out last week. So I'll take set.
Speaker 1: I love it when you talk basketball boy, Billy all right,
Speaker 1: Billy Oil gets all show, all show. Did you hear
Speaker 1: Chris there? He said you could get some passing yards
Speaker 1: out of him too, because he's thrown a couple of
Speaker 1: passes throughout the season, had a completion yeah for five exactly,
Speaker 1: So hey, maybe you could get some some dual threat.
Speaker 1: That brings me to the to the topic of conversation though,
Speaker 1: and the reason why we had Rob kind of bring
Speaker 1: up the rear though, but without Michael Gallup, is this
Speaker 1: Cedric Wilson's best opportunity to try and make some money,
Speaker 1: maybe not with the Dallas Cowboys, but to really put
Speaker 1: some good film out there and allow him to try
Speaker 1: and get out of the shadow of the Big three,
Speaker 1: because that's what he has been throughout his career. He's
Speaker 1: been productive, he's put up numbers, he's been successful. But
Speaker 1: if you're not ceedee lamb Amari Cooper Michael Gallop in
Speaker 1: this system, you're not going to get that same type
Speaker 1: of praise. So I'll start with you. Heckma, is this
Speaker 1: his best opportunity in a playoff run, final week of
Speaker 1: the regular season to finally make a name for himself
Speaker 1: and try and propel his career forward. Yeah. I mean,
Speaker 1: if you keep it real with yourself view, you will
Speaker 1: say that Cedric has already done that. I mean, he's
Speaker 1: shown you that he's a valuable four. Michael Gallas already
Speaker 1: missed some time. But also he's shown you that he's
Speaker 1: just the four. Right If you're if you're gonna try
Speaker 1: and vault him into being a two or anything like that,
Speaker 1: that's just putting way too much on his plate, I
Speaker 1: think for what he does for special teams wise, but
Speaker 1: that receiver, I mean, he's he's definitely a guy that
Speaker 1: can make some plays for you. I question whether he
Speaker 1: can do what Mike g does as far as take
Speaker 1: the top off of a defense. It's the speed portion
Speaker 1: of it for me, because you see that from Michael Gallup,
Speaker 1: and so you know, like he does have an opportunity
Speaker 1: that's in front of him to earn some But again, man,
Speaker 1: there's no replacing Mike Gas. I hope that he goes
Speaker 1: out there and balls out and does you know, has
Speaker 1: a heck of a resume, and he already has a
Speaker 1: great resume. I hope he adds to it. That's my
Speaker 1: hope for all these guys on on these rosters in
Speaker 1: the NFL and Dallas boys, go out there and do
Speaker 1: the best that you can't have amazing film so that
Speaker 1: you can position yourself for the best opportunity going forward.
Speaker 1: I do hope that Dallas will retain him. He is
Speaker 1: a huge part of this of this roster. He makes
Speaker 1: huge contributions obviously offensively and special teams wise. And if
Speaker 1: he can't get the bag here, then I hope he
Speaker 1: goes and gets it back somewhere else. Rob Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1: Like he's got the skill set in the game that
Speaker 1: you can play ten twelve years in the league and
Speaker 1: if you're not a star, you know, starter Pro Bowl guy.
Speaker 1: But the fact that he can play all three receiver position,
Speaker 1: you can put him anywhere. He plays special teams. He's
Speaker 1: virstal in that regard. He's just he's quarterback friendly. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's a guy that can play a long time in
Speaker 1: the league and may make a good amount of money
Speaker 1: as well. I don't know what his market value is
Speaker 1: gonna be after the season. But and I'm with Heck,
Speaker 1: I mean, I think I think Michael Gallup brings you,
Speaker 1: you know, some some game breaking potential in terms of
Speaker 1: that deep ball threat. But but set has been huge
Speaker 1: for this team this season. Well, where does his relationship
Speaker 1: ship with Dak Prescott and the way that they've kind
Speaker 1: of clicked on the same level rank in terms of
Speaker 1: how successful he has been here? Because I agree he
Speaker 1: has all the intangibles, he has the consistency and the
Speaker 1: speed and the receiving ability. But Rob, I mean, he's
Speaker 1: he's about as tight with Dak Prescott as anybody else
Speaker 1: in that locker room. How much does that help him out,
Speaker 1: especially whenever you are thrusted into a role like he
Speaker 1: has been with the Michael gallib injury. Yeah, I'm I'm
Speaker 1: not sure what it is. You know, they just do
Speaker 1: have a nice report together. He was asked about that
Speaker 1: last week and he said, it's just, you know, it's
Speaker 1: been repetition over the years. He said, there's been some
Speaker 1: situations the last three years where he's been asked to
Speaker 1: step up and weigh more so this year. But I
Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe Isaiah could speak to this for sure,
Speaker 1: But but you know, there's just certain guys that you
Speaker 1: have a connection with and and you know, I don't
Speaker 1: think that's that's the case. I think Dak's got a
Speaker 1: connection with all his receivers, like you're seeing him to
Speaker 1: take a step forward with CD this year as well,
Speaker 1: But it's definitely there with Cedric. You know, there's definitely
Speaker 1: a trust there for him. I agree. I mean that
Speaker 1: it shows on the field, and there's some guys you
Speaker 1: just click better with and that's just a reality. There's
Speaker 1: whether that's more time in the offseason, maybe that's you
Speaker 1: get them hanging out and being better friends, you don't know,
Speaker 1: but but it shows up on the field and it's
Speaker 1: always the benefit. It's always a beneficial to the Dallas Cowboys. Man,
Speaker 1: if I'm Cedric, if I'm Cedric Hell, I'm outside of
Speaker 1: the Dak's door. I'm waiting on him. Hey, I'm handing
Speaker 1: him at football every time he walks into the Star,
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get every rep I can from the
Speaker 1: starting quarterback. So to me, it's just this is just
Speaker 1: a guy where opportunity has met preparation and you see
Speaker 1: what he's able to bring to the table. There's no
Speaker 1: mystery about it. But I'm I love what you said, Pete.
Speaker 1: You know, Dak has a relationship with all of his guys,
Speaker 1: but I think with Cedric Cedric Wilson, he's probably the
Speaker 1: guy that's waiting around saying, Dak to me the ball
Speaker 1: in practice. So I mean, if you go back to
Speaker 1: last week prior to the start of the game, the
Speaker 1: Cowboys are missing four starters this week, Tyrn Smith, Michael
Speaker 1: Gallop of course Anthony Brown and Michael Parsons on the
Speaker 1: defensive side as well. They're missing four starters, two on
Speaker 1: both sides of the football. How much does that play
Speaker 1: a factor into their matchup solely with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Speaker 1: We talked about a lot of the decision making from
Speaker 1: the coaching staff, but Xes and Os wise, how does
Speaker 1: this change things? By the way, before we answer that question,
Speaker 1: give us a call if you want to be a
Speaker 1: part of our pickham segment coming up in about five
Speaker 1: minutes or so eight eight eight eight five five two
Speaker 1: two ninety seven right now, be a part represent the fans.
Speaker 1: We'll pick some games coming up in a minute. But
Speaker 1: how does the missing pieces affect the xs and o's
Speaker 1: of this matchup? Michael Parsons is the biggest obviously dismissal
Speaker 1: for this game, being the fact that we're already short
Speaker 1: linebacker position. Right you lost jayleist May do you know
Speaker 1: duty for releasing him? Then you also lost am I
Speaker 1: blinking out right now? Lsu Cox Cox? Yes, you lost,
Speaker 1: You lost Jibil Cox. You lost him to his injury.
Speaker 1: So now you're ready shallow at that position. You've been
Speaker 1: very depending on Michael Parsons and the contributions he's made
Speaker 1: this year. Neil's coming back, that's awesome. But now with
Speaker 1: with Parsons being gone, now you're relying on some guys
Speaker 1: who just haven't had reps. You just call it how
Speaker 1: it is. They just haven't had game reps at the
Speaker 1: linebacker position. They've had special team reps and Louke Gifford,
Speaker 1: m Bernard, all those guys, but they have not had
Speaker 1: playing reps in Dan Quinn's system in the actual you
Speaker 1: know game that matters. So this game matters. They're gonna
Speaker 1: be thrust into that position. The strength of the Philadelphia
Speaker 1: defense is on the interior defensive linement. It's not on
Speaker 1: the outside. They do have sweat, but he's usually on
Speaker 1: the right side and not so much on the left side,
Speaker 1: so that won't be a problem in terms of missing
Speaker 1: tyrant and offensively, you know, we should be we should
Speaker 1: be fine. You've been hard grave Yeah you said sweat,
Speaker 1: Well I'm saying sweats yeah, yeah, Okay, I got you.
Speaker 1: So here's my my thing is this when you Michael
Speaker 1: Parsons is the guy that you have to look for
Speaker 1: on defense, but I think I look at this as
Speaker 1: an opportunity for the defense as well, because this is
Speaker 1: a running football team and so your interior rotation. I
Speaker 1: think dan Quinn is gonna take a good look at
Speaker 1: that interior rotation going into the playoffs, and you get
Speaker 1: an opportunity to look at guys up close. He you
Speaker 1: talked about the job that Carlos Watkins, Neville Gallimore did
Speaker 1: and also Diggi Zua did last week versus Arizona didn't
Speaker 1: get a whole bunch of pressure of up the gut, right.
Speaker 1: But when you have a team that's running the way
Speaker 1: that the Eagles have, you want to see these guys
Speaker 1: get off the ball. So this this ball game, regardless
Speaker 1: of who plays, how many snaps they play, is gonna
Speaker 1: be one in the trenches. And that's what I want
Speaker 1: to see from our defense offensively, I'm I'm right with
Speaker 1: you on that. Our offensive line isn't gonna change in
Speaker 1: their interiors where they're the most strong. So yeah, I
Speaker 1: think we still we still line up perfectly from an
Speaker 1: XS and O standpoint. Rob, Yeah, I can't disagree with
Speaker 1: thing that I agree with you guys in terms of
Speaker 1: you know, they've Teras Steel's been playing a lot of
Speaker 1: tackle there. If he's the left tackle in this game,
Speaker 1: then they're used to that. I mean, you wonder what
Speaker 1: you know, without tired in there, does that change how
Speaker 1: many how much Dak plays. I mean, Mike McCarthy says
Speaker 1: no at this point, Um, we'll see. Yeah. I wish
Speaker 1: we could have see Micah in this game against Jalen Hurts.
Speaker 1: And because he can be that spy, he can also
Speaker 1: be the rusher. So I think that's probably the one
Speaker 1: that stands out the most. But you know, I'm just
Speaker 1: interested to see how both teams handle this because you know,
Speaker 1: there's you can sit guys at a certain point in
Speaker 1: the game, maybe, but there are only forty eight active
Speaker 1: for the game. So and you got a factor in
Speaker 1: special teams and all those things. So how both coaches
Speaker 1: juggle that. I'm very curious to see which player would
Speaker 1: you pull first, Dak Dack or Martin Dak Dak still yeah,
Speaker 1: especially without Tyron Smith? Can I say both? You pull
Speaker 1: him at the same time? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 1: can see that. I don't think you pulled You don't
Speaker 1: pull Martin before you pulled Dak. There's no way you
Speaker 1: would ever do that. So if it is going to
Speaker 1: be simultaneous, then that that would work as well. Let
Speaker 1: me in the rup guy. I gotta ask you all,
Speaker 1: you guys this question. Obviously, this is the game we
Speaker 1: just need to get through healthy. What is your You've
Speaker 1: asked this question before. What's the temperature of the team? Yeah,
Speaker 1: going into the going into the playoffs? Literally, what's the
Speaker 1: temperature of the team for you? How do you feel
Speaker 1: about this team going into the playoffs? There's been a
Speaker 1: lot of scenarios, this is a one and done team.
Speaker 1: How do you do you believe that this is a
Speaker 1: team that can make a push? Do you believe they're
Speaker 1: right on the customer? Do you think they still need
Speaker 1: some pieces to ultimately make the push that you want.
Speaker 1: So I like loose leaf tea, Okay, drink it every
Speaker 1: single day. I drink a whole cattle all day. You know,
Speaker 1: are usually white Tea's kind of my thing, white peach
Speaker 1: and white white peach. But you know, you need to
Speaker 1: make sure that the water is boiling at one seventy
Speaker 1: five before you put before you actually put the loose
Speaker 1: leaf tea in the actual water. Okay, you gotta get
Speaker 1: the temperature up first. Okay, you can't put it in before.
Speaker 1: I feel like Dallas is at about one forty five.
Speaker 1: Gotta heat it up. It's not heated up. It's not
Speaker 1: heated up enough. Right, it's at one forty five. I
Speaker 1: needed at one seventy five before I put my teeth
Speaker 1: for actually with my t in, and it starts steeping
Speaker 1: this thing. I need at one seventy five. Ballaces at
Speaker 1: like one forty five. So it's just not ready in.
Speaker 1: It's not cooked all, isn't it. You know, if I
Speaker 1: was cooking some food, it's not cooked all the way through.
Speaker 1: And I feel like they need to continue to raise
Speaker 1: this temperature. I mean, that's why I ask a question
Speaker 1: about dak and Martin because do you pull Dak out
Speaker 1: the game knowing that he right now is not where
Speaker 1: you need him to be going into the playoffs and obviously,
Speaker 1: and what's yours on that? Yeah, No, that's that's the balance,
Speaker 1: right because I'm sure Mike McCarthy's still looking at this like,
Speaker 1: I don't want to go into the wildcard round without
Speaker 1: us feeling better about things offensively, you know. So it's
Speaker 1: it's a tough it's a tough balance here, and and
Speaker 1: that's a great analogy, like you don't want you don't
Speaker 1: want lukewarm tea, you know. Um, So yeah, it's it's
Speaker 1: it's tough. I mean, I heck, I mean, I feel
Speaker 1: like they do enough things from a take a drink
Speaker 1: complimentary standpoint where they can go win a playoff game
Speaker 1: or two for sure, because defensively they can turn you over.
Speaker 1: They can they can make your quarterback extremely uncomfortable. So
Speaker 1: there's those things that that's how you can win in
Speaker 1: the playoffs. But they've got to be more efficient for
Speaker 1: sure in the passing game with Dak and everybody. But
Speaker 1: I think the run game too is where it really stands,
Speaker 1: especially depending on where they might end up playing pass
Speaker 1: Round one if they get pass round one, they have
Speaker 1: got to add some balance to their offense because you
Speaker 1: just I just don't see a situation where if he's
Speaker 1: got to throw at forty times a game, that's not
Speaker 1: going to look good for your offense in a playoff situation. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I agree, I think to answer your question, I
Speaker 1: still think this team can make a run. And I
Speaker 1: said it yesterday. If they play to their ceiling, there's
Speaker 1: nobody that's going to beat them. Facts, there's no one
Speaker 1: that can beat them. If they play as good as
Speaker 1: they can on the offensive side of the ball. There's
Speaker 1: nobody in the NFL as good as the Dallas Cowboys. However,
Speaker 1: that is the biggest if in the entire sport right now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because you're not facing anymore Washington's no, you're not. There's
Speaker 1: no Yeah, there's no more Washington. There's no more Falcons,
Speaker 1: there's no more giants along the way. You've got nothing
Speaker 1: but dogs. And it's gonna get better and better and better.
Speaker 1: This week, playoff team, next week, playoff Probably playoffs, well
Speaker 1: I mean it is playoffs, but probably a team with
Speaker 1: ten plus wins. Again, with with either the Rams or
Speaker 1: the Cardinals for the most part. It doesn't get easy
Speaker 1: from here on out, and if they play to that ceiling,
Speaker 1: I think they can. They can beat anybody. That's my temperature, right,
Speaker 1: I like it. And look, I just want to make
Speaker 1: sure that we're on the same page coming in here Monday.
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear nothing different. All Right, you're
Speaker 1: one seventy four, I got y'all five, need gonna get
Speaker 1: up to what seventy five? Seventy five? Oh yeah, well okay,
Speaker 1: you got thirty degree. Yeah. But I think that's a
Speaker 1: that's a great question to ask, and we'll we'll ask
Speaker 1: that also going into the playoffs. I think as well
Speaker 1: try and figure it out going into that first round. Gaelo. Sorry,
Speaker 1: I think you know, going into the season, you felt like, well,
Speaker 1: they could they could win playoff games because they can
Speaker 1: score forty yep. But I think not only defensively, could
Speaker 1: they grind it out. They've got a feel positioned weapon
Speaker 1: at punter. You know, they've got great coverage units, they've
Speaker 1: got other aspects that can you can say, well, I
Speaker 1: think you go to a cold weather game and win
Speaker 1: something ugly. So I think that's why you should feel
Speaker 1: good that they could make a run still but again offensively.
Speaker 1: Well know, they got to play better and they're capable
Speaker 1: playing better. Do we want to talk about kicker? No? Okay,
Speaker 1: were you talking about to throw it out there? Yeah,
Speaker 1: let's go to a break though. We've got to We've
Speaker 1: got to get our pickums here in a second. Don't worry, Chris,

Speaker 1: and the Bank You make wolf that burns burn me, boy,
Speaker 1: You're darn right about time they get me back, because
Speaker 1: I they I've picked them on multiple occasions, and they
Speaker 1: have lost a ton of games. All right, Washington football
Speaker 1: team at the New York Giants. Giants, believe it or not,
Speaker 1: have won five of their last six against Washington. I
Speaker 1: don't see anything changing. Give me the Washington football team
Speaker 1: on the road, Isaiah, give me the Washington new name.
Speaker 1: On February. Second team the Admirals, Uh Sergio Uh, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go with the Washington team. I guess there's gonna
Speaker 1: be a snooze fest no matter what. Yeah, that's right,
Speaker 1: snooze fests in the NFC stack. About who you got?
Speaker 1: This is one of those toilet Bowl games that you
Speaker 1: love to have us pick. I'm gonna go with the Admirals. Okay,
Speaker 1: it's probably going to be the name. Rob. You guys
Speaker 1: just break news on their name. I'm a football team.
Speaker 1: What if it's just the football team on February second,
Speaker 1: that'd be That would be pretty hilarious, honestly, if it
Speaker 1: If it does end up staying that way, Okay, Saints
Speaker 1: at the Falcons. New Orleans is allowed nine point eight
Speaker 1: points per game in the last four weeks. That's the
Speaker 1: fewest in the NFL. Do the Saints defense keep their
Speaker 1: streak rolling? Heck, moa, who you got? Saint's got to
Speaker 1: have this game and I'm going with the Saints like
Speaker 1: the good time in roll all right, Rob, Yeah, Saints
Speaker 1: have more to play for. Give me the give me
Speaker 1: the New Orleans Saints, Sergio. I'm gonna take New Orleans. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the Saints here too. Isaiah can make
Speaker 1: up a game Yin yang in this thing, you're going
Speaker 1: with a ying yang in histing going with atl No, man,
Speaker 1: the Saints that they stand up and get club. That's
Speaker 1: what they played down there. Yeah, that's that's what I
Speaker 1: was thinking. They don't play their music in Atlanta. They
Speaker 1: played their music in the That's a super crowd. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's Yeah. You think that was a very confusing
Speaker 1: pick you used. You used like the only artist that
Speaker 1: could apply to both of those cities. No, that's that's
Speaker 1: that's like the opposite of that. John. Yeah. If okay,
Speaker 1: if it's a tie, If it's a tie, Isaiah, Isaiah
Speaker 1: gets doubles on my wave. If a tie Isaiah gets too,
Speaker 1: don't do that. It's true. He's behind by like twenty
Speaker 1: five games right now, so it's fine he can do that.
Speaker 1: Probably Chargers at the Raiders winner goes to the playoffs.
Speaker 1: If the Colts losing, they tie, they can also both
Speaker 1: go to the playoffs. But who wants to hear about that?
Speaker 1: Winner gets the sixth seed in the AFC LA versus LV.
Speaker 1: Who you got, rob Man, I'm gonna go with Justin
Speaker 1: Herbert at the end of the day, find a way
Speaker 1: on the road they advance, Sergio, Yeah, some some of
Speaker 1: go with Rob on that one. Going with the Chargers there, Isaiah,
Speaker 1: so far, Okay, call with Vegas. Wow, go on with
Speaker 1: Coachsacia on this one. Man. Yeah he's done a great
Speaker 1: jobs too. Yeah, Yeah, he's done a fantastic job. Uh. Man,
Speaker 1: this is a tough one. I think the Chargers are
Speaker 1: a better team. Good them, but give me the Raiders
Speaker 1: at home at Allegiance Stadium in Las Vegas. I think
Speaker 1: the Raiders get it. I think, man, that's crazy that
Speaker 1: the Chargers could miss the playoffs. But everything that Vegas
Speaker 1: has been through, if they make them playoffs, that's that's
Speaker 1: gonna be crazy magnificent. So yeah, give me the Raiders
Speaker 1: at home. I think it should be a fun one
Speaker 1: in that regard. All Right, the final one we've all
Speaker 1: been waiting for. It's the Cowboys at the Eagles. Sergio,
Speaker 1: will let you start us off on this one. You
Speaker 1: got to give us a score prediction as well. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go ahead and go fool with the Boys, even though, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, they're still the better team. It doesn't really
Speaker 1: matter what. So let's go twenty four. We'll go fourteen,
Speaker 1: all right, Well twenty four fourteen An ugly game from Sergio. Sergio,
Speaker 1: thanks so much for being our guest picker this week.
Speaker 1: We will talk to you again down the line, and
Speaker 1: thanks for your support, my friend, A thank you for
Speaker 1: having me. Absolutely Sergio from New Mexico, the Land of
Speaker 1: Enchantment here on talking Cowboys. He thinks it's gonna be
Speaker 1: an ugly game. I don't necessarily disagree with him. The
Speaker 1: way that he sighed going into that pig, Babe, it
Speaker 1: sounded like a heck my Harrison Tostitos Championship Plaza two
Speaker 1: to nothing win over the Eagles. It's what it sounded like.
Speaker 1: But I don't know. I don't know if that's what
Speaker 1: it will be. But Rob, who you got on this one? Man?
Speaker 1: I came in saying I was gonna say a tie,
Speaker 1: but you know what, I'm not gonna do that. I think, Look,
Speaker 1: it's a toss up because we don't know lineups and
Speaker 1: all that stuff. At the end of the day or
Speaker 1: playing time, I'll go with the Eagles at home, just
Speaker 1: in a toss up kind of low scoring twenty one
Speaker 1: twenty Philly, What can you say that again? I'm going
Speaker 1: with Philly in this game. Cowboys are a better team,
Speaker 1: but they're already missing key guys. They're going on the road. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll take the Eagles, Okay, all right, Isaiah, Barbecue over
Speaker 1: Chief Steak, Going Dallas, Going with Dallas score twenty four seventeen,
Speaker 1: twenty four seventeen. I'm gonna go with the Cowboys here,
Speaker 1: but I also think it will be an ugly, gross,
Speaker 1: downright weird win. Give me twenty three to sixteen the
Speaker 1: final score. Cowboys get totally those Plaza once in again,
Speaker 1: and I'm predicting Boys win twenty seven thirteen. That's my score.
Speaker 1: I think defensively we shut them out, do a really
Speaker 1: good job against them in the running game. But I'm
Speaker 1: giving them thirteen points. At least give him thirteen maybe
Speaker 1: a little bit late, something like that. Yeah, all right, Well,
Speaker 1: there we go, guys. We're done with the regular season.
Speaker 1: Sounds good to me. Done with the regular season. We've
Speaker 1: got playoffs next time up on Talking Cowboys. It feels
Speaker 1: oh so nice to get to this point in the campaign,
Speaker 1: but that does it for us throughout the regular season.
Speaker 1: When we come back, hopefully it'll be a victory Monday,
Speaker 1: But no matter what, it is a playoff Bundy on
Speaker 1: Talking Cowboys, presented by Tostitos. Hope you had some fun
Speaker 1: with us today for Chris Beam, for Isaiah standback, Rob Phillips,
Speaker 1: for Kyle Yeoman's and for Heckma Harrison. Heckma, everybody turned
Speaker 1: down your headphones because Heckma's about to let it ride.
Speaker 1: Because what do we say on Friday's Cowboy Nation, I
Speaker 1: hope your team wins. This has been a production of
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
