Speaker 4: is talking. The streets are talking.
Speaker 3: The same You've been around.
Speaker 4: Dad, Prescott, Cooper Rush, same Cadence.
Speaker 2: Far too much work together, for sure, But yeah, how
Speaker 2: you feeling it?
Speaker 3: Has your your feeling changed from Monday to Friday this week?
Speaker 4: I wouldn't say so. I feel like the Cowboys went
Speaker 4: on Friday and not to get on Friday on Sunday,
Speaker 4: not to get too far into our pick them and
Speaker 4: the early disclosure, yeahlosure, all.
Speaker 3: Right, guys shows over. John made his pick on like Tuesday.
Speaker 4: But regardless, I feel like it's gonna be a really
Speaker 4: good game that's gonna come down in the fourth quarter,
Speaker 4: and it's gonna be a fun environment. It's gonna be
Speaker 4: a ton of fun out there. But really excited making the.
Speaker 3: Trip out to the West Coast.
Speaker 2: What was it like playing you You got to play
Speaker 2: against San Francisco a couple times.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and playing in San Francisco, what was that like.
Speaker 3: It's be honest with you, it's gonna sound crazy. It's
Speaker 3: just it was just another game. You were a candlestick, right, yeah,
Speaker 3: throw back yeah, throw back.
Speaker 5: Absolutely, it was just another game. And there wasn't there
Speaker 5: wasn't too many teams that have faced that. I was like, Okay,
Speaker 5: this is amazing. Environment's amazing, Like it just I don't know,
Speaker 5: balls ball to me, I know.
Speaker 3: That's not exciting. I'm sorry. Everybody has to be though.
Speaker 6: I really I really looked at things like it was
Speaker 6: just the next thing on the on the docket. You know,
Speaker 6: it was a business trip. I wasn't going there to
Speaker 6: sight see. I was going there to execute a game plan.
Speaker 6: We were going out there collectively to try to walk
Speaker 6: away with a dub. And that's really all that mattered.
Speaker 6: That's why a lot of my a lot of my
Speaker 6: career is just a blur because it's just like, all right, well, you.
Speaker 3: Guys remember this game. You remember this game. I'm like, I don't.
Speaker 6: I'm really a person that that neuralizes myself after every week.
Speaker 4: You remember the super Bowl?
Speaker 6: Yeah I remember that, but I mean even that, but
Speaker 6: like seriously, like even like that, Like there's a lot
Speaker 6: of things that I just don't remember.
Speaker 3: Like I just I don't know.
Speaker 6: I've never been the one to really just kind of
Speaker 6: take in a moment and like really digest it.
Speaker 3: I'm always going to like what's next. And that's been
Speaker 3: me with all.
Speaker 6: My achievements, that's been me or all my experiences, it's
Speaker 6: always what's what's next. Like that's grateful for it doesn't
Speaker 6: mean I disregarded, but it's just like I'm literally onto
Speaker 6: the next thing, and because of that, I forget a
Speaker 6: lot and it doesn't really work well with my wife.
Speaker 3: She's like, you remember when the kids was this, I
Speaker 3: was like, it sucks. I know it's bad. It's a
Speaker 3: bad trait.
Speaker 6: But like attributed to all the different systems I was in,
Speaker 6: and as a quarterback, I had to press the elite,
Speaker 6: I had to press the lead. I had to delete
Speaker 6: my old stuff because otherwise you'll get mixed up. And
Speaker 6: I learned that really when I left here. When I
Speaker 6: left here and went to New England, I had to
Speaker 6: delete my entire memory bank because the formations were the
Speaker 6: same but different names. The emotions were the same, different names,
Speaker 6: concepts were the same, different name. So if you're still
Speaker 6: holding onto your old stuff, you're gonna screw yourself up.
Speaker 2: If you had to choose the Cowboys to have that
Speaker 2: mindset where it's be a goldfish and forget it and
Speaker 2: kind of move on and just take this as another game,
Speaker 2: or if you wanted them to channel that emotion, to
Speaker 2: channel the revenge factor that we talked about from a
Speaker 2: media standpoint, which one would you rather than try and
Speaker 2: channel this week, I.
Speaker 3: Had to choose one or two, one or the other.
Speaker 2: And I'm not saying overly revenge factor is where it's
Speaker 2: the only thing and they're two hyped up. I'm saying, okay,
Speaker 2: the right amount of hype versus the right amount of
Speaker 2: the next game mentality.
Speaker 3: I would say the next game, I would say even then.
Speaker 6: I would say the next game even then, because emotion,
Speaker 6: if you get caught up in the emotions of the game,
Speaker 6: you'll you'll forget your assignments. The emotions and the interpersonal battles.
Speaker 3: It's sorry, not the inner person.
Speaker 6: With individual battles, those become the primary versus the mission.
Speaker 6: And if I'm so concerned with hidden Trent Williams in
Speaker 6: the mouth because he's talking so much instead of being
Speaker 6: in lane discipline, now all of a sudden, I put
Speaker 6: my team in a buying So I think I would
Speaker 6: lean more towards the next game and make sure you
Speaker 6: execute your game plan versus, you know, trying to get
Speaker 6: the revenge factor.
Speaker 3: What would you choose? What was it?
Speaker 4: What were the options?
Speaker 3: So take the next game up. Just another game.
Speaker 2: Mentality that Isaiah's talking about what he kind of went
Speaker 2: through throughout his career or channel that emotion in a
Speaker 2: good way, channel the emotions of going into this matchup
Speaker 2: and having the past.
Speaker 3: On the mind with it being the forty nine.
Speaker 4: I think there's a little bit of both that you
Speaker 4: could use. It depends on what the opponent is and
Speaker 4: what the ramifications are on the other side, not fear.
Speaker 3: I couldn't choose these. I can't choose both the other
Speaker 3: tack one. You gotta pick one.
Speaker 4: But but you only have one brain, right, and it
Speaker 4: works both ways.
Speaker 2: But this one brain only gets to choose. You can't
Speaker 2: try and go right now.
Speaker 4: I really tried to. Yeah, you did, honestly, though, like
Speaker 4: more so than anything, it would probably be the latter
Speaker 4: in the fact, where like you just have reset, like
Speaker 4: because every game is different or every moment is different
Speaker 4: for me, I guess individually, it's you know, there's big
Speaker 4: moments in my career, there's big moments in Kyle's career,
Speaker 4: and you know, you could every single one is different
Speaker 4: because there's different eyes every single time. So I would
Speaker 4: take it in that sense. But if it's like the
Speaker 4: biggest thing I've ever done, for sure, I'm gonna, you know,
Speaker 4: take some emotion into that because that's I want that
Speaker 4: to be able to amplify me as well.
Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, I think there's ways. Like you said,
Speaker 3: the obvious answer is a little bit of both.
Speaker 2: You take take a little bit of that revenge factor,
Speaker 2: take a little bit of that motivation that you've had
Speaker 2: all week. Dek Prescott's talked about it on a number
Speaker 2: of occasions, both after the game Sundays yesterday with the media.
Speaker 2: There are ways to take that and channel in in
Speaker 2: the right direction. But you don't want to go over
Speaker 2: the top and you want to take it as this
Speaker 2: is week five. You can't win or lose the Super
Speaker 2: Bowl in week five, You certainly can't. But there's ways
Speaker 2: that you can certainly build in the right direction. Of course,
Speaker 2: going against a good team like this, getting a good test,
Speaker 2: seeing that competition and seeing how you stack.
Speaker 3: Up against it.
Speaker 2: All Right, let's take a look at some of the
Speaker 2: news and notes, what's going on around Cowboys Nation.
Speaker 4: Yeah, don't have a ton today. Three things that we'll
Speaker 4: touch on. First, Mike McCarthy was asked on one oh
Speaker 4: five to three the Fan this morning about Randy Gregory
Speaker 4: now that he is available. We haven't brought that brought
Speaker 4: that up on this show this week. I feel like
Speaker 4: we all have the same opinion here, But Mike McCarthy said,
Speaker 4: I haven't been a part of those discussions.
Speaker 3: Obviously.
Speaker 4: I thought Randy had a fine, fine season his last
Speaker 4: year here. But I don't have anything to report on
Speaker 4: that front. I don't see a value there. I'm trying
Speaker 4: to leave it them. You wanted to say something mess No, no,
Speaker 4: not really with your chest. Really, I don't see anybody there,
Speaker 4: like I don't know why it's even a talking point.
Speaker 4: I mean, this passworst group is fine. And if you're
Speaker 4: if you want to bring in a guy who didn't
Speaker 4: work out after that big of a contract, I'm straight.
Speaker 2: Okay, what do you think about Randy Gregory potential Cowboys?
Speaker 2: Station has been talking about it, and they should. He
Speaker 2: was good while he was here, when he was available.
Speaker 6: I think if you were able to add him for
Speaker 6: like nothing, you know, slim to nothing or a very
Speaker 6: low overhead, then I say why not? You know, Adam
Speaker 6: to the Adam to the pot. But if you have
Speaker 6: to spend any kind of you know, respectful money on them,
Speaker 6: then I'll say no. I mean, to your point, Nick,
Speaker 6: I mean this that group, that position group is about
Speaker 6: as deep. It is the deepest position group on your team.
Speaker 6: So I don't think that you need somebody else. But
Speaker 6: if you if you have the extra money and you
Speaker 6: have the extra roster spout, which you don't but don't anymore,
Speaker 6: I will say yes. But I mean, we know Jerry
Speaker 6: Jones loves him. We know that they had, you know,
Speaker 6: a little falling out there the last moment of the
Speaker 6: contract negotiations. He went to go get Chase the money
Speaker 6: that he felt was was due to him because due
Speaker 6: to language, you know.
Speaker 2: He would probably be close to the veteran minimum if
Speaker 2: you wanted to bring him back.
Speaker 6: I feel like, if you if you can get him
Speaker 6: for the veteran minimum or close to it, because he's
Speaker 6: already got cashed out from Denver, and why not as
Speaker 6: long as he doesn't make as long as his personality
Speaker 6: doesn't mix, doesn't mess up what you have going on
Speaker 6: in the locker room.
Speaker 3: Do you think that that's a possibility. I don't. There's
Speaker 3: always the possibility. I don't. I don't know him personally
Speaker 3: to take that chance.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't know him personally to add that, But
Speaker 6: I mean, the thing is, at this point in the season,
Speaker 6: if you wanted to add that, and you realize that
Speaker 6: that's not the move. Their contracts and not guaranteed at
Speaker 6: this point, so you can literally bring him on. It's
Speaker 6: not working, okay, counseling, but I will say anything. Any
Speaker 6: organization knows who he is is Dallas Cowboys well and
Speaker 6: no doubt about that.
Speaker 2: I mean, but you, you and I were sitting up
Speaker 2: there in Denver for that joint practice last year where
Speaker 2: it was the first time that they had seen Randy
Speaker 2: Gregory as a part.
Speaker 3: Of the Broncos.
Speaker 2: Wasn't even padded up, wasn't even suited start it up.
Speaker 2: But he was there in the thick of it.
Speaker 3: Love it, I mean, and he was when he's on
Speaker 3: your team. I love it. Oh gosh. There was so
Speaker 3: much talk. It was just it was way overboard. I
Speaker 3: get it. There's a level of talking. And I love
Speaker 3: it too, I really do.
Speaker 2: I love the competitive, competitive, competitive petition, the competitive are yeah,
Speaker 2: whatever that word is.
Speaker 3: I love that, I really do.
Speaker 2: But in that specific scenario, then it got to the
Speaker 2: point where I was like, all all right, Randy, get listen,
Speaker 2: all right.
Speaker 6: There was a lot of spike going on. There's a
Speaker 6: lot of hate going on. I mean there's a lot
Speaker 6: of that. Right, you leave the team that you love
Speaker 6: and thought you were gonna be with your whole career,
Speaker 6: and all of a sudden you have to have a
Speaker 6: two day padded practice with him where you're not padded up. Yeah,
Speaker 6: you're gonna spark some stuff up, right, You're you're feeling
Speaker 6: some type of way. But he was nothing but good
Speaker 6: things for for Dallas when he was on the field.
Speaker 3: So I mean, he's available when he was available.
Speaker 6: Was always said when he was on the field, I
Speaker 6: left that other aspect out. But again, you can't leave
Speaker 6: that other aspect.
Speaker 3: I mean at this point of his career, yes you can.
Speaker 6: I mean he's he's past that. I mean, people move on.
Speaker 6: People have experiences, they have bad experiences, You learn from
Speaker 6: them and you move forward. I think Dallas was a
Speaker 6: huge reason why he was able to move forward. The
Speaker 6: resources that they gave him, the support they gave him.
Speaker 6: If he's in a space, if he's healthy, all those things,
Speaker 6: and you can get him for the coast to the
Speaker 6: veteran minimum, I would add him to the pot as
Speaker 6: long as he doesn't disrupt what you already have going on,
Speaker 6: because he is a heck of a player. So if
Speaker 6: you can get a heck of a player and he
Speaker 6: doesn't disrupt what you have going on and he only
Speaker 6: adds to it.
Speaker 3: I don't see why you would it.
Speaker 6: I just don't see, especially when you're early in the season,
Speaker 6: right and he has plenty of time to catch on
Speaker 6: to what you're doing, and he's a lot larger of
Speaker 6: a defensive end than you already carried. There's only one
Speaker 6: other DN on your team that possesses his size. Why
Speaker 6: would you not want to add that.
Speaker 2: It's so interesting because you look at the numbers of
Speaker 2: when he was playing with for Dallas, I mean fourteen
Speaker 2: games in twenty eighteen, twenty and twenty twenty, because he
Speaker 2: missed all of twenty nineteen twenty twenty one, he had
Speaker 2: twelve games. So when he was there, he was active.
Speaker 2: He had six sacks, three and a half six sacks again.
Speaker 2: But then in Denver, after he gets that jump and pay,
Speaker 2: he played in just ten games total between two seasons, uh.
Speaker 3: And he played in three.
Speaker 2: In all four of the games this year he had
Speaker 2: the one sack, and so he was at least healthy
Speaker 2: and on the field this year. I don't see where
Speaker 2: you take away a roster spot for Randy Gregory, because
Speaker 2: are you gonna cut.
Speaker 3: Billyami Fojoko to make a roster spot? I don't think so.
Speaker 2: That's a draft pick, whether or not he's been productive.
Speaker 2: I don't think you're making that pick. He was a
Speaker 2: fourth round pick.
Speaker 3: You're not going to do that in not as a
Speaker 3: not as a rookie, Like didn't do that last year.
Speaker 3: We didn't do that last year.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I think they learned it less than there
Speaker 4: last year.
Speaker 3: Who are you talking about? Richard or to Ridgway was
Speaker 3: a sixth round pick. Fourth six fourth is a different
Speaker 3: that's a that's a premium listen decisions. And again I'm
Speaker 3: I'm taking the emotions out of it. You know, you
Speaker 3: know I do that. I take the emotions out of it.
Speaker 6: Okay, Sure, in terms of experience, in terms of what
Speaker 6: he does right, well, I don't care what he really
Speaker 6: did in Denver because guys turn it on and turn
Speaker 6: it off.
Speaker 3: That's the reality. People don't want to hear that. That's
Speaker 3: the facts.
Speaker 6: Okay, upon your situation, based upon how you encourage you are.
Speaker 3: The reality is he didn't really want to leave Dallas.
Speaker 3: He didn't want to leave Dallas. Okay.
Speaker 6: So he goes out there disgruntled already, and then he
Speaker 6: finds himself in a situation that's probably it wasn't the
Speaker 6: best situation. They sucked for a little while, okay, and
Speaker 6: they still are trying to figure that out. Okay, So
Speaker 6: he I'm pretty sure he turned he turned it off. Okay,
Speaker 6: he turned the tap off. I don't understand why if
Speaker 6: you take the emotional side of it out and all
Speaker 6: the all the other stuff in his history, all that jazz,
Speaker 6: he is a productive player when playing and if his
Speaker 6: contract is not going to be holding you down, and
Speaker 6: he's able to make more contributions than some of the
Speaker 6: other guys that you're carrying on your roster, carrying the
Speaker 6: same position, regardless of your initial investment into those guys.
Speaker 6: Your end game is you're trying to walk away with
Speaker 6: this season with the Ring. And if you can learn
Speaker 6: anything from anybody, go back a couple of years to
Speaker 6: the Dog on Rams. They loaded up right, and they
Speaker 6: loaded up, but they traded away everything this You wouldn't
Speaker 6: why would you not continue to build upon something if
Speaker 6: you have a viable asset that can add to your
Speaker 6: room as long as he doesn't take away from your room.
Speaker 6: He adds to your room. You get size, you get
Speaker 6: a one on one dominance, you get run stopping ability,
Speaker 6: you get all those things in one person. I don't
Speaker 6: see why, as long as he doesn't disrupt what you
Speaker 6: already have going on.
Speaker 4: I think the most difficult thing for me to be
Speaker 4: able to justify is him taking a roster spot over
Speaker 4: a different position group.
Speaker 3: Yeah. No, I'm not doing that.
Speaker 4: That's the toughest thing to That's the toughest thing for me.
Speaker 2: That's why Hoko is really the only opposite I think again,
Speaker 2: I'm trying to take the motion out of it.
Speaker 3: If you take is anybody picking up a hooko if
Speaker 3: you cut him? To be honest, yeah, probably definitely. So Okay, definitely.
Speaker 3: Devin Harper just got picked up.
Speaker 2: He was a fifth round pick that from two years prior,
Speaker 2: and they've get he got.
Speaker 3: Darren Harper has way more film than for Hoko.
Speaker 2: Still, I mean, he's a premium pick who was productive
Speaker 2: in college. Gallus had to go up and they didn't
Speaker 2: trade up to get it, but they had to pick
Speaker 2: him fifth.
Speaker 3: I'm not disrespected.
Speaker 6: I'm just saying that if anybody on your roster right
Speaker 6: now has been hidden in terms of what they can
Speaker 6: do in the league has been for Hoko, but you have.
Speaker 2: Him for four years on a rookie contract as opposed
Speaker 2: to maybe Randy Gregory on.
Speaker 3: A one year veteran minimum. I get it. I get
Speaker 3: it again.
Speaker 6: My mindset is what who's going to make the contributions
Speaker 6: to help me get the ring?
Speaker 3: That's my mindset. I get it. And everybody's not in
Speaker 3: that mindset. But most people aren't. Most people are not.
Speaker 4: I see where you're coming. Yeah, most people are not.
Speaker 3: I am trying to If that's why I'm not GMO,
Speaker 3: that's one another gym. However, my goal is to get
Speaker 3: a ring.
Speaker 6: I'm not trying to continue to position myself agreed for
Speaker 6: a potential ring. That's what Dallas's history has been for.
Speaker 4: When I.
Speaker 3: Get a ring.
Speaker 4: If the goal is to get a ring, then there's
Speaker 4: no reason to add another defensive lineman. That's just that's
Speaker 4: just my okay. Yeah, you take Randy Gregory's name out
Speaker 4: of it. There's just no reason to add anything to
Speaker 4: that group in my opinion. In my opinion, it's my opinion.
Speaker 2: And there's other spots that you could add, absolutely if
Speaker 2: those if there were viable people that at those position groups,
Speaker 2: you would jump all over it.
Speaker 3: You just would not put another on you would you would?
Speaker 6: I mean saying if there were addition, if there were
Speaker 6: an offensive linemen out there that you felt good about,
Speaker 6: you would grab him a.
Speaker 3: Heartbeat, no doubt, no doubt about it.
Speaker 6: If I can be absolutely dominant, which I'm already were
Speaker 6: doing a pretty dog on a good job of it
Speaker 6: at the defensive line position, right, If I could be
Speaker 6: absolutely dominant without a shadow of doubt, no matter who's
Speaker 6: on the field, no matter what rotation is in there,
Speaker 6: why would I not? Because the probability that somebody getting
Speaker 6: hurt at some point in time is high. Yeah, this
Speaker 6: is week five of seventeen.
Speaker 3: Long way to go. It's a long freaking way to go. Like,
Speaker 3: load up if there's position groups, you just loaded up
Speaker 3: at the quarterback position. You didn't need that. You might?
Speaker 3: You might, You always might. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 3: You always might, you know?
Speaker 6: Like that's what I'm saying, Like, don't wait until you
Speaker 6: need it to load up on it, especially if you
Speaker 6: can get it for the discount, double check and it's
Speaker 6: not going to disrupt, is only going to add that's
Speaker 6: my whole person if you check those boxes, why.
Speaker 3: The heck not. He's huge. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Second news and note, yeah, we were uh, we've talked
Speaker 4: about it a little bit this week about how Trey
Speaker 4: Lance could potentially kind of help this matchup with the
Speaker 4: offensive staff and even with the defensive unit as well.
Speaker 4: That was a big talking point yesterday during locker room availability.
Speaker 4: We asked Dak Prescott about it. First, Here's what Dak
Speaker 4: had to say. He's been He said, he's been very helpful, honestly,
Speaker 4: just in the way their defense can move, certain calls
Speaker 4: that they may have to make if we put them
Speaker 4: in certain positions, things you kind of see on film,
Speaker 4: but getting some definitive answers from him on how they
Speaker 4: did things. He's been very helpful.
Speaker 3: And then Trey.
Speaker 4: They tried to ask Trey about it, and Trey was like, yeah,
Speaker 4: I'm just you know, doing everything I can to help,
Speaker 4: you know, excited to take on a bigger role this week.
Speaker 4: And you know, he was very hush hush. Everyone's very
Speaker 4: hushush obviously about what exactly is going into that. Deak
Speaker 4: I think gave the most as to what's happening behind
Speaker 4: behind the scenes, but a lot of late nights with
Speaker 4: probably the offensive and defensive units. Even DeMarcus Lawrence was
Speaker 4: he laughed whenever he was it was brought up. He
Speaker 4: was like, it's been very well. So I don't know,
Speaker 4: what do you guys think.
Speaker 2: I feel like I'm going to defer to you former
Speaker 2: quarterback who played against this former team in a Super Bowl.
Speaker 6: And I definitely had meetings. Yeah, I definitely had meetings.
Speaker 6: I was definitely picking off hand signals. I was definitely
Speaker 6: doing all those things.
Speaker 2: You started with the Patriots, then you went to the Giants,
Speaker 2: and then you were trash talking Tom Brady on the
Speaker 2: sideline through the Super Bowl.
Speaker 3: And so I just want everybody that may not know
Speaker 3: that about you to have a background. So I play.
Speaker 6: I played quarterback and receiver for the New England Patriots,
Speaker 6: and then a couple of years later I was playing
Speaker 6: for the New York Giants against the Patriots and the
Speaker 6: Super Bowl. And absolutely, you got to be out of
Speaker 6: your mind if you think that I'm not going to
Speaker 6: utilize my knowledge of the offense to assist my defense
Speaker 6: to help win a dog on Super Bowl ring, because
Speaker 6: that's what it's about. It's about winning a dog on ring.
Speaker 6: Then you get them a lot of times. Most guys,
Speaker 6: if they have a shot, is usually one shot one shot.
Speaker 6: So absolutely, they're they're picking the crap out of Trade
Speaker 6: Lance's brain. They want to get all the information they
Speaker 6: can and San Francisco he's doing everything they can to
Speaker 6: make alterations to what they have been doing naturally. But
Speaker 6: the reality of the matter is after the first half
Speaker 6: they're gonna fall right back into what they did before.
Speaker 4: Yeah, hopefully it goes better than the last week for
Speaker 4: New England.
Speaker 3: HM. True.
Speaker 4: I mean it's it's not a full proof system by anyone.
Speaker 3: Well, went in there and blew up the whole system,
Speaker 3: That's what. Yeah, mel Breer was interrogating and he gave
Speaker 3: them all the wrong info.
Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe he's still a cowboy at heart.
Speaker 3: He's trying to help out his guys.
Speaker 4: I saw him talking to Dak Pregay. It looked a
Speaker 4: little too friend.
Speaker 3: He was like, hey, mag you know what, Daryn Bland
Speaker 3: sucks at Laton across the field.
Speaker 4: You just throw a crush your body a couple of times.
Speaker 4: The last news and note I have, Dak Prescott was
Speaker 4: just kind of talking about the matchup yesterday and I
Speaker 4: asked him about Brandon Cooks and if this is a
Speaker 4: type of game that he can break out. And I
Speaker 4: know we talked about it yesterday on this show and
Speaker 4: he said he's a special player and his big day
Speaker 4: is going to come maybe this week. He's going to
Speaker 4: win his one on ones. He's going to always be
Speaker 4: open when that look is advantageous and they give him
Speaker 4: one on ones. For us and for myself, it's more
Speaker 4: about just featuring him and getting it to him. So
Speaker 4: this kind of piggybacks on what we talked about yesterday,
Speaker 4: that there's an opportunity here for Brandon Cooks to have
Speaker 4: a big game in San Francisco. I'm kind of banking
Speaker 4: on it at this point. You know. I feel like
Speaker 4: we've been talking about it every week the last two
Speaker 4: or three weeks, like, Okay, this is gonna be the Okay,
Speaker 4: I think this is gonna be the game this time.
Speaker 4: I really feel like it's gonna be the game. But
Speaker 4: we'll see.
Speaker 3: I think it's the game too.
Speaker 2: And even just based off of the conversation that, like
Speaker 2: you said, the Dakkad yesterday that you've had with Mike
Speaker 2: McCarthy even says, I mean McCarthy doesn't normally give a
Speaker 2: whole lot whenever he's at the podium, but he has
Speaker 2: talked a lot about Brandon Cooks and he has kind.
Speaker 3: Of brought that to the table.
Speaker 2: So I'm interested to see how they utilize them, and
Speaker 2: I hope they utilize them in the way that Isaiah
Speaker 2: has been outlining throughout the week. I mean, there is
Speaker 2: an opportunity against this secondary Watch Special Edition.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yep, Watch Special Edition. We talked about it yesterday.
Speaker 6: But if you guys want to see it, Kyle and
Speaker 6: I broke it down on an episode of Special Edition.

Speaker 3: Surday night. It's on the website. Okay, it's on the website.

Speaker 3: To Talking Cowboys.
Speaker 2: Back here on Talking Cowboys, presented by Black Rifle Coffee Company.
Speaker 2: This portion of the show is brought to you by
Speaker 2: Quaker Oats, a super trusted super food. Quaker Oats the
Speaker 2: official oatmeal sponsor of the Dallas Cowboys. I hope you
Speaker 2: got your oats in this morning, Isaiah.
Speaker 6: I did not get my oats in this morning. That's
Speaker 6: why I feel super I just feel good. You just
Speaker 6: feel solid, non fabulous soda, all right? I've got some
Speaker 6: stats just to throw out.
Speaker 2: There between the Cowboys and the forty nine ers before
Speaker 2: we get to Nick Harris's key matchups. This is the
Speaker 2: nineteenth all time meeting of the Super Bowl era between
Speaker 2: an undefeated team and the top scoring defense entering week
Speaker 2: five or later. The undefeated team in those matchups is
Speaker 2: fourteen and four in the prior matchups, and they've won
Speaker 2: four straight entering this.
Speaker 3: Matchup on Sunday Night. The last team that was the
Speaker 3: number one scoring defense.
Speaker 2: To win was the two thousand and nine Colts, who
Speaker 2: went on to win the or they went on to
Speaker 2: lose in the Super Bowl to Drew Brees the Saints.
Speaker 3: Back then, that was the last time that that had happened.
Speaker 3: Why you look puzzled because I played against the Colts
Speaker 3: state year. Yeah, thinking about that, the undefeated team.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 6: I was in New England that year. Sunday Night football,
Speaker 6: Tom Brady versus Eli, I mean versus Peyton.
Speaker 3: Fun, it was fun. Was Peyton undefeated? Then? I don't know,
Speaker 3: that's when that's maybe I flipped it. Maybe the Colts
Speaker 3: lost that game. Let me look, I'm going to look
Speaker 3: at it.
Speaker 2: Maybe the Colts were the undefeated team and they lost
Speaker 2: to Isaiah stand back.
Speaker 3: And I think about that defense. You mentioned that defense.
Speaker 3: I'm Lincoln. Yeah, it was that defense that could I
Speaker 3: don't remember.
Speaker 4: I'm away with them that was happened.
Speaker 3: Dwight Freemia. Another another stat that I found was intally interesting.
Speaker 2: This is the fifth meeting between the Cowboys and the
Speaker 2: forty nine Ers when both teams hold it seven to
Speaker 2: fifty winning percentage or better. The first meeting of the
Speaker 2: sword came in nineteen eighty one in the NFC Championship Game.
Speaker 2: San Francisco won that game twenty eight twenty seven went
Speaker 2: on to win the Super Bowl. Second matchup, nineteen ninety
Speaker 2: two NFC Title Game, won by the Cowboys thirty to
Speaker 2: twenty before winning the Super Bowl.
Speaker 3: And then the final two came in the same season.
Speaker 2: The nineteen ninety four regular season and the nineteen ninety
Speaker 2: four NFC Title Game.
Speaker 3: Both were won by the forty nine Ers, who eventually did.
Speaker 4: What setting up a half back pass with Christian McCaffrey.
Speaker 4: I'm not saying it's necessarily going to happen this week good,
Speaker 4: but I think it's gonna happen eventially down the line,
Speaker 4: Like it looks too perfect, I uke he was going
Speaker 4: to he ran a route but then blocked. But like
Speaker 4: it was designed for McCaffrey to go out there and run.
Speaker 4: But they're sitting something up there.
Speaker 3: Can we run that across the hall? Can we go
Speaker 3: get that to Dan Quinn?
Speaker 4: Maybe? I'm sure he knows. He probably knows a lot
Speaker 4: more things than I do. Probably he's like, man, I
Speaker 4: found that out like last Tuesday, like before they even
Speaker 4: ran it, and he's like, come on, come on, I
Speaker 4: saw it pre snap. He's Heisenberg, he knows all.
Speaker 3: That's good reference.
Speaker 4: I like that. Actually you ran for matchups.
Speaker 3: Let's do key matchups?
Speaker 4: Okay, so key matchups really easy this week. I mean,
Speaker 4: because there's so many on both sides of the ball.
Speaker 4: It literally took me in out ten minutes to identify
Speaker 4: which ones I wanted to go with here. First off,
Speaker 4: I think the one that is more enticing for me
Speaker 4: than any is Joey Bosa versus Terrence Steel. I think
Speaker 4: Terrence Steele is going to have his work cut out
Speaker 4: for him. That's that goes without a doubt, but also
Speaker 4: just kind of prove you know that he's he's gonna
Speaker 4: be here for a long time. What do you guys
Speaker 4: think about this. What do you think Terrence Steele can
Speaker 4: do specifically to keep Bosa in check?
Speaker 3: Protect the inside?
Speaker 6: So I'd rather him run him around the hoop, so
Speaker 6: Bosa wants to come off the ball like lightning him
Speaker 6: the queen and run the edge, push him around, let
Speaker 6: him run the dog on hula hoop, and let Dak
Speaker 6: step up in the pocket. What I don't want Terrence
Speaker 6: still to do is overseet right because he because he
Speaker 6: respects Bosa's speeds so much that he plays upfield and
Speaker 6: Bosa hits him underneath. Those are the plays that suck, because.
Speaker 3: That that's what.
Speaker 6: When your tackles over set right to the outside, leaving
Speaker 6: a vacant hole inside on their left hip. Right from
Speaker 6: Terren Steel's perspective, that is what gives quarterbacks bubble goods.
Speaker 6: That's what makes them unsure and unsettling. That's what gives
Speaker 6: them the happy feet. Now all of a sudden, are
Speaker 6: not only are they escaping the pocket too early, but
Speaker 6: now all of a sudden, they their eyes are not
Speaker 6: longer no longer looking down the field. Now they're not
Speaker 6: setting their feet to throw accurate passes. So as long
Speaker 6: as you know that I can always step up in
Speaker 6: the pocket regardless of what's going on. You're not getting
Speaker 6: pushed back into me, and you're and you're not giving
Speaker 6: up any pressure inside. Right, I'm okay with that as
Speaker 6: a quarterback. So that's my ass for Terren Steel. As
Speaker 6: long as he can do that, I think he'll be
Speaker 6: perfectly fine.
Speaker 4: You talked a lot about that yesterday, and there's a
Speaker 4: lot that is on the hands of Terrence Steele hands
Speaker 4: specifically to fight off Joey Botha.
Speaker 2: I was looking at the the that side of the
Speaker 2: front seven, so the whole right side of the San
Speaker 2: Francisco defense, the ones that would be either stunting or
Speaker 2: going straight at Terrence.
Speaker 4: This whole time I met Nick.
Speaker 11: What was that I've been saying Joey this whole time
Speaker 11: I've been meeting No Nick, boys, that's one of those there.
Speaker 11: You see him each of the next three weeks, you'll
Speaker 11: get it right at Yeah, I would say Joey or
Speaker 11: Nick Nick next week.
Speaker 3: Okay, you got to say Nick this week, Joey next week.
Speaker 4: I'm typically pretty good about that.
Speaker 3: So, yeah, you are all right.
Speaker 2: So, but with the right side of the San Francisco defense,
Speaker 2: the guys that are going to directly go up against
Speaker 2: Terren Steele at times. Nick Bosa first out of one
Speaker 2: hundred and twelve edge rushers this season in terms of
Speaker 2: PFF grade, and the rest of the guys on the
Speaker 2: off are on the defensive line, Hardgrave Armstead are all
Speaker 2: top ten.
Speaker 3: Those guys are both top ten.
Speaker 2: Then you've got Burks at the next level, who has
Speaker 2: a higher grade than all three of those guys.
Speaker 3: At his perspective position coming downhill as well.
Speaker 2: Now he's had limited snaps, so he's got a higher
Speaker 2: grade limited snaps, so he doesn't qualify for the rankings,
Speaker 2: but he's up there too in terms of what he
Speaker 2: does at the same linebacker position.
Speaker 3: They're going to challenge Tarren Steele Steele probably if all
Speaker 3: five guys.
Speaker 2: Go Beyottish, Martin Smith, Smith Steele, where would you rank
Speaker 2: him in your confidence level.
Speaker 3: Out of those top five guys on the.
Speaker 4: Offensive line just in general or to handle Nick Bosa
Speaker 4: in general.
Speaker 3: But I want to throw the wrinkle in there too.
Speaker 3: I want to hear both.
Speaker 4: I would put him. I put him probably fourth, and
Speaker 4: that's not bad because this is a really good all
Speaker 4: pros all around. I probably put him fourth, though, maybe
Speaker 4: close to third with Tyron Smith.
Speaker 3: So you'd have Beiottish fifth.
Speaker 2: Yeah, then at that point I think I would put
Speaker 2: Steel fifth just in terms of confidence level.
Speaker 3: And I love Terrence Steele. This is not a knock
Speaker 3: on Terrence Steel, but that's just what it was. If
Speaker 3: everybody stays healthy upfront and plays the number one number
Speaker 3: one for you, Zach Martin, Tyler been playing incredibly well,
Speaker 3: but it stills Zach.
Speaker 4: Martin, it's the it's coming.
Speaker 3: I think it would be Martin, Tyler, Tyron Beyottish Steel
Speaker 3: for me in that order one through five. Why are
Speaker 3: you looking at me sideways? You're putting Beatis before Steel. Yeah,
Speaker 3: Theiattish has been good good.
Speaker 4: I think be Ottis is really really good at commanding
Speaker 4: things pre snap. I think that's where his invaluable assets come.
Speaker 4: But as far as post snappability, I'd rather have Steel.
Speaker 3: And it's not like Beattish is a world beater. I'm
Speaker 3: not putting him up against Smith's or I'm not putting him.
Speaker 2: Up against Martin, but just in terms of what he
Speaker 2: does on the interior, what he does calling coverages, what
Speaker 2: he does commanding, Like Nick said, that offensive line, I
Speaker 2: just find more confidence.
Speaker 3: In him upfront? Do you think he deserves a larger
Speaker 3: contract and steel.
Speaker 2: Hmm, No, No, I don't because tackle and center at
Speaker 2: completely different positions, and it's far more valuable and far
Speaker 2: harder to find a better tackle on the outside than
Speaker 2: it is to find a center.
Speaker 3: I've been trying to replace Tyler Biattish in the draft
Speaker 3: the last two years.
Speaker 2: I wanted Tyler Linderbaum the year before, I wanted John
Speaker 2: Michael Schmidtz this year.
Speaker 3: I mean, that's just how how it's always been.
Speaker 2: And that's nothing against Tyler Biattis's just because I think
Speaker 2: there are good centers out there you can find for
Speaker 2: value at the back half of the first or second rounds.
Speaker 2: So just just an interesting thought process. I'm interested to
Speaker 2: see what the fans think in that regard. How would
Speaker 2: you how would you rank one through five the offensive
Speaker 2: lineman if they're all starting five going, which by the way,
Speaker 2: would just be a blessing in its own right, if
Speaker 2: all five are going up front, how would you rank
Speaker 2: them in your confidence level?
Speaker 4: That was actually a news And note that I forgot
Speaker 4: to add the optimism is really growing an offensive all
Speaker 4: five offensive i'man playing on Sunday all five were full
Speaker 4: participants in practice yesterday for the first time ever, so
Speaker 4: it should be that would be fun.
Speaker 2: That's the first time since all five or since Tyler
Speaker 2: Smith was draft, first time ever that I think they
Speaker 2: had maybe some training camp snaps for like.
Speaker 4: A regular season regular season.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's just that's why you're seeing there's a change,
Speaker 3: saying there's a change.
Speaker 4: Second matchup that I have is, uh, Brandon Nyuk, so
Speaker 4: Brandon Ayuk, just the receivers in general for San Francisco.
Speaker 4: They moved them around. They're gonna have them on both
Speaker 4: sides of the ball, moving in the slot, moving outside you.
Speaker 4: He'll he'll mostly stay outside for the most part, but
Speaker 4: he'll still move from left to right. But I think
Speaker 4: he's going to be matched up with Deron Bland more
Speaker 4: so than any I think that's going to be a
Speaker 4: really big litmus test for Deron Bland. They're both about
Speaker 4: the same size. I feel like they both have about
Speaker 4: the same athleticism. This is really an opportunity for Bland
Speaker 4: to go out there and prove that he's he's he's
Speaker 4: going to be more than capable to handle things as
Speaker 4: the season goes on.
Speaker 3: Out there on the outside yeah, I like it.
Speaker 6: I think dB I think he's capable of handling most guys.
Speaker 6: It just comes down to, you know, sample size and
Speaker 6: what does he do when he goes against Debo? You know,
Speaker 6: that's that's my the physicality standpoint, that's always my concern
Speaker 6: in that regard.
Speaker 3: There's next to a J. Brown. I don't know more
Speaker 3: physical receiver than Devo.
Speaker 4: M I.
Speaker 3: I mean in the league right now, of course, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: I think I would probably otherwise I would throw David
Speaker 3: Boston in there. That would be fun. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think there's ways that Deron Blank can continue to
Speaker 2: get better. One thing I really liked about him this
Speaker 2: week was his mindset. I asked him I when we
Speaker 2: were in the locker room, and he basically or what
Speaker 2: I The way I outlined it was, how do you
Speaker 2: take the highs and avoid the good conversation? How do
Speaker 2: you block out the conversations in a week like this
Speaker 2: wherever everything is good, everything is praising you, just as
Speaker 2: much as you block it out when every thing's aren't
Speaker 2: going your way. And he said, you just keep it
Speaker 2: a neutral all the way through. Keep that keep it
Speaker 2: moving a neutral. And I said, how do you keep
Speaker 2: it moving a neutral. Whenever you're going up against a
Speaker 2: team like this, He's like, well, you don't know who
Speaker 2: you're going to face because you push them all the
Speaker 2: way around the line of scrimmag you're going to see Deebo.
Speaker 2: One player can see McAffrey, the other player you can
Speaker 2: see you, and another opportunity.
Speaker 3: Where are you going to cover?
Speaker 2: It's because you've got to stay on your toes and
Speaker 2: so that he's like, that's how you remain neutral.
Speaker 3: Is it's a test like that to where he's got
Speaker 3: to move forward and continue pushing in the right direction.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and since he got that first opportunity last year
Speaker 4: to step in for Jordan Lewis and really get those
Speaker 4: valuable snaps, dan Quinn talks about it all the time.
Speaker 4: He's so even keeled and nothing is too big for him.
Speaker 4: He was told basically pregame and last year that he
Speaker 4: was gonna have to start and get ready and he's like, okay, cool, cool,
Speaker 4: all right. It kind of goes back to what we
Speaker 4: were talking about in the first but it is not
Speaker 4: letting anything get to him. You know, He's definitely a
Speaker 4: guy that will probably take a game by game, but
Speaker 4: I think if anybody's ready for this type of matchup,
Speaker 4: this early in career as a fifth round pick, it's
Speaker 4: going to be dern Plant and he's proven a lot
Speaker 4: of people wrong, especially draft people like ourselves, since he's
Speaker 4: come into the league. Our final matchup here, this is
Speaker 4: the heavyweight one. I think you could arguably say this
Speaker 4: is one of the more heavyweight ones that we'll see
Speaker 4: all season. Trick Williams and Michael Parsons. So what else
Speaker 4: takes here?
Speaker 3: Bloody knuckles. I loved it. Whenever Nate Newton out lined
Speaker 3: it like that earlier we had a show earlier in
Speaker 3: the week.
Speaker 2: He said, so, once this game's over, if you don't
Speaker 2: have bloody knuckles, then you're doing something wrong. Because that's
Speaker 2: what that type of matchup's going to look like, because
Speaker 2: Mike is going to get some drem Williams is going
Speaker 2: to get some and it's going to be a one
Speaker 2: two punch, absolute melee, and I love it.
Speaker 3: I can't wait to watch that and to watch it
Speaker 3: on film too. Yeah, that's gonna be fun. Which team
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, don't want to get us off the subject.
Speaker 3: Trent and Micah.
Speaker 6: I like it a lot because obviously there's extreme size differential,
Speaker 6: but in terms of intensity, I would say those guys
Speaker 6: are right there with each other. So I'm looking forward
Speaker 6: to that physical battle. And how often does Micah change
Speaker 6: up his style because Trent Williams is a freaking black
Speaker 6: hole and if you run into his chest, he just
Speaker 6: literally just swallow gulf.
Speaker 3: Yeah, just watching, I want to cut that. It's about
Speaker 3: the Star Wars. Last name said, Wow, Trent Williams.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I'm looking I look forward to that.
Speaker 6: I really do emotional intelligence again, I bring that up.
Speaker 6: That's gonna be big in this game. I'm curious to
Speaker 6: see which team has the most flags.
Speaker 3: Is that what you were going to say to get
Speaker 3: this off topic?
Speaker 4: It is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not gonna come from Trip william It might
Speaker 2: come from Micah once, maybe twice because he's trying to
Speaker 2: jump quickly.
Speaker 3: But I'm who's won the penalty battle the last two years.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna find that real quick. While you're doing that.
Speaker 4: A quick caveat into this whole matchup here, specifically, is
Speaker 4: the fact that Michael Parsons last week was lined up
Speaker 4: on the opposite side more so than where he's usually
Speaker 4: coming off. We were just coming off that right side.
Speaker 4: Was that matchup base. Did you see why or did
Speaker 4: you have any take on that, because I didn't really
Speaker 4: get a chance to really dive too deep into that
Speaker 4: with anybody this week. And I don't know. It was
Speaker 4: like the first time in a really long time that
Speaker 4: he was coming off the left side intead of the right.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 6: It might have been in regards to him having been
Speaker 6: a little bit hobbled of the last game. You know,
Speaker 6: he was a little beat up coming off the other game,
Speaker 6: so that might have played a part in it in
Speaker 6: terms of what ankle and you don't need whatever he
Speaker 6: had going on, you might put more emphasis on, but
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 4: But also Trent Brown at started the season really strong
Speaker 4: at left tackles, so maybe they just flipped to give
Speaker 4: Michael the better matchup. You know, could see that this week.
Speaker 4: That's why I throw that in there.
Speaker 2: That's why that was something you wanted to see, was
Speaker 2: more Micah around the line of scrimmage and not in
Speaker 2: just in one spot because you compared to what Matthew
Speaker 2: Judan did.
Speaker 3: Yeah, move them around, move around.
Speaker 6: I mean, listen, you want as a defensive coordinator your
Speaker 6: job and this is what makes Dan Quinn so good
Speaker 6: and just put your guys in the best position to
Speaker 6: win their battles.
Speaker 3: Doesn't matter.
Speaker 6: It's not a knock on your abilities to say I
Speaker 6: want to line you up against their weakest opponent. I
Speaker 6: guess their weakest you know, personnel guy. I mean, it's's
Speaker 6: not I could see Micah getting frustrated about that, Like, no,
Speaker 6: I want to take on Trent, but no, no players
Speaker 6: go beat up on this dude.
Speaker 3: You know you have your you have your time to
Speaker 3: to go against Trent. But like we're gonna in this
Speaker 3: particular look, in this particular front. We want you over here.
Speaker 3: So I mean that's you understand that you take the Hmmm,
Speaker 3: I can't say that. Yes, you can't say what you
Speaker 3: I was gonna say. I was gonna say, you take
Speaker 3: them like, I can't say it. I don't know how
Speaker 3: to say. Anyways.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you just you you submit to your defense coordinator
Speaker 6: at that point, right, you just say, okay, I got you, right,
Speaker 6: you take you take you take it.
Speaker 3: You take what he's saying, and you go out there.
Speaker 6: And you just play your position, you play your role,
Speaker 6: you make your contribution from that particular spot.
Speaker 3: I mean, it doesn't help that you can trust your
Speaker 3: defensive coordinator cent scenario.
Speaker 6: But I'm saying some guys would take that as a
Speaker 6: shot to their man, like now we don't want you
Speaker 6: going against Trent go over here on the other side, like,
Speaker 6: no play, I can handle him.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, like it's a pride factor.
Speaker 3: Absolutely. Yeah.
Speaker 2: By the way, penalties twenty twenty one, of course, that
Speaker 2: was a huge storyline in twenty twenty one, fourteen penalties
Speaker 2: for eighty nine yards compared to nine for fifty eight
Speaker 2: from San Francisco Solanks. And then last year in the
Speaker 2: divisional round it was five penalties for fifty yards compared
Speaker 2: to three penalties for thirty So even in a game
Speaker 2: where you took it from fourteen to five, San Francisco
Speaker 2: still had fewer penalties.

Speaker 6: you know what I'm saying. I was like being on
Speaker 6: the curves my competition hid you know what I mean?
Speaker 3: And then I'm gonna come off. That curve is when
Speaker 3: you hear it can tell you. But Tom whistling at
Speaker 3: you know you've rolled it. All right, We've got hore

Speaker 3: We'll let Jorge start.
Speaker 4: Uh has been on the roll.
Speaker 9: So I'm gonna go ahead and go to Texans.
Speaker 2: M going with the Texans, Isaiah, Texans and who the
Speaker 2: Falcons at Atlanta?

Speaker 2: Let's go give me the Falcons the bees on Robinson's
Speaker 2: gave me the Desmond Ritters with a rebound win.
Speaker 4: Yeah, give me the Texans here Wooo.
Speaker 2: Going with the Texans all right, Ravens at the Steelers, Nick,
Speaker 2: I'll let you start that one off of classic rivalry
Speaker 2: game in the AFC.
Speaker 4: Yeah, especially given the health of Kenny Pickett, I'm gonna
Speaker 4: go ahead and go Ravens here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna take the Ravens. Lamar Jackson, Isaiah, give
Speaker 2: me the Ravens, okay, or hey.
Speaker 4: Believe we're on the same page.
Speaker 3: Ravens all the way across bord.
Speaker 2: Congratulations to the Steeler on their Steelers on their Week
Speaker 2: five win. That's how it's gonna go. I think it's
Speaker 2: happened every time we've gone across the board. I think
Speaker 2: the opposite team is one outside of the Cowboys, the
Speaker 2: only team that hasn't.
Speaker 3: Titans at the Colts in Indianapolis. Isaiah'll let you start
Speaker 3: this one.
Speaker 2: A divisional rivalry between a division that is all two
Speaker 2: and two all the way top to bottom.
Speaker 3: Is Richardson's Uh is he bad? Yes?
Speaker 4: As far as I know.
Speaker 3: Okay, yes, Colts.
Speaker 2: Colts, give me the Titans. I like the way they
Speaker 2: looked last week. They got a big win last week.
Speaker 2: I think they're going to keep that.
Speaker 3: Henry, give me the Colts taking the indian coming for
Speaker 3: you though, going with the Titans.
Speaker 2: I like that pick Tennessee and company, the fans, and
Speaker 2: and myself just continuing to roll along.
Speaker 3: What was that, buddy whatever, dude building the gap, That's
Speaker 3: what it is.
Speaker 2: Jets at the Broncos in a interesting showdown, and the Broncos,
Speaker 2: of course, salvaged a win last week for the first.
Speaker 3: Time on the season. We'll let Jorge start on this one.
Speaker 3: Jets at Broncos.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think I will go with the Jets.
Speaker 8: Just face somehow Wilson performed last week.
Speaker 3: Jets did look good. I think that defense is good
Speaker 3: enough to get the win. Give me New York on
Speaker 3: the road once you got I'm going with a ron.
Speaker 4: And his speed bridge right.
Speaker 3: Making his return this week, he was out of the
Speaker 3: he wasn't even in a cast.
Speaker 4: He's already wanted, He's already madness.
Speaker 3: It's incredible what he's doing.
Speaker 4: Is something stinks with this game, which the line is
Speaker 4: Broncos two and a half. I don't know, I don't know,
Speaker 4: but I'm taking Jets.
Speaker 2: Yeah, taking the Jets all the way through, all right,
Speaker 2: Packers at the Raiders. This is Monday night football, so
Speaker 2: we'll have to wait a little bit for this one.
Speaker 2: Packers on the road against Las Vegas two and two
Speaker 2: Packers one in three Raiders in Vegas. Isaiah, I'll let
Speaker 2: you start. Give me the cheese heads, cheese heads, Packers
Speaker 2: on the roads, right, I'm gonna take the Raiders to
Speaker 2: rebound at home and get the dub.
Speaker 3: I'm trying to go opposite of Isaiah here, make things interesting.
Speaker 3: What you got?
Speaker 4: Come on, Raiders? Oh?
Speaker 3: Is either gonna have a really a really good week?
Speaker 4: Davante Adams for bench game?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: There you go.
Speaker 3: Ooh, I didn't even think about that as an aspect.
Speaker 3: Well done, all right? Uh? Or hey, who you got?
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go with the Packers.
Speaker 3: Okay, there you go. All right, here's the one that
Speaker 3: we've all been waiting for. Cowboys at the forty nine Ers.
Speaker 2: It is a historic rivalry twenty excuse me, ten Super bowls,
Speaker 2: which it was twenty ten Super Bowls combined, fifteen NFC
Speaker 2: championships and just one combined loss on the twenty twenty
Speaker 2: three season. Cowboys at forty nine or seven twenty kickoff
Speaker 2: on Sunday Night Football?
Speaker 3: Orge, Who you got? How thousand? Cowboys? Baby twenty four.
Speaker 2: Twenty eight, twenty four, Thank you for the call. Have
Speaker 2: fun out there on the West Coast. Are you going
Speaker 2: the game? Are you going to the game on Sunday?
Speaker 3: I will be there.
Speaker 2: That's awesome. You're gonna have to say hi to Nick Harris.
Speaker 2: Will there you go, y'all have fun out there. Thank
Speaker 2: you for calling Jorge, and thank you for representing the
Speaker 2: fans so well on the phone line today.
Speaker 3: All right, there, he goes Jorge is. I'm gonna give
Speaker 3: it to Nick Harris first to get us started.
Speaker 4: This game is gonna take Dak Prescott. I think throwing
Speaker 4: for three hundred yards and keeping the ball clean. I
Speaker 4: think the running game is definitely gonna have to get
Speaker 4: going as well. But I'm gonna take the Cowboys here.
Speaker 4: I feel like they can go into San Francisco, especially
Speaker 4: with the memories of the last two seasons on their
Speaker 4: backs and a couple of different playmakers. I can get
Speaker 4: involved with Brandon Cooks, Stefan Gilmour, a healthy Tony Pollard.
Speaker 4: Give me the Cowboys here on Sunday night. I think
Speaker 4: they show up and get it done.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm gonna take the Cowboys too, in a tight one.
Speaker 2: I just think they they are approaching this game with
Speaker 2: a different mentality. There's a bit of intensity in that
Speaker 2: locker room. There's a way, there's a part of this
Speaker 2: roster that was built specifically to beat teams like Philadelphia
Speaker 2: and San Francisco because of what has happened in the
Speaker 2: last two years and just how good this team was
Speaker 2: at twelve and five in the past. They're not gonna
Speaker 2: win every game this year, but they're gonna win this game,
Speaker 2: and I think they'll win a twenty two to twenty
Speaker 2: in a weird final score late game. It's gonna take
Speaker 2: Dak Prescott having some heroics down the stretch and he's
Speaker 2: gonna get the job done.
Speaker 3: And they're gonna right this ship against the San Francisco
Speaker 3: forty nine ers on the road.
Speaker 4: A score at Gami score Gami. I don't know. I
Speaker 4: don't think. I don't think two.
Speaker 10: M hmm.
Speaker 3: Well, second week in a row, second week in the row.
Speaker 3: It's gonna be a tough matchup.
Speaker 6: It's like now, last week was not tough, but you
Speaker 6: still picked the other team. I did pick the other team.
Speaker 6: I thought that I thought the defensive line was gonna
Speaker 6: do better, but they didn't, and I'm happy for it.
Speaker 3: I actually ended the show. I actually ended the show
Speaker 3: was saying I hope that I'm wrong. You did say that.
Speaker 3: You did say that. I'll give you credit.
Speaker 6: Hope is nothing until last week four, Kyle, Good game,
Speaker 6: Good game, Great game. It comes down to the last drive.
Speaker 6: I'm talking about like like whooa, like holding your stomach,
Speaker 6: standing up, can't even sit down, like looking at the
Speaker 6: TV like duck Hunt. You know, you get close to
Speaker 6: the TV when you're playing duck Hunt. Like that's how
Speaker 6: close the guys are gonna be in front of their TVs.
Speaker 4: Like George Pickens on Draft Night.
Speaker 3: Man, Yeah, like in front of your big screen Let's
Speaker 3: go Cowboys.
Speaker 4: Oooh okay, really yes, terrible about my pick?
Speaker 3: Now? Why?
Speaker 6: Because yes, I think this is one of the most
Speaker 6: intense games that you've seen in a long time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's gonna be fun.
Speaker 6: I think it's physical. I think there's a lot of talking.
Speaker 6: I there's a lot of flags. Gotta control it, you
Speaker 6: gotta control it. But oh man, it's gonna be It's
Speaker 6: gonna be amazing.
Speaker 3: This is gonna be so fun. You get in front
Speaker 3: of your freaking TV. I can't wait for this one.
Speaker 3: I mean, if you don't have a big screen TV,
Speaker 3: like go buy one and return it. Just because you
Speaker 3: have to.
Speaker 8: You have to.
Speaker 3: You have to keep the receiver, keep the you have
Speaker 3: to go get in front of the TV, just like
Speaker 3: gotta gotta.
Speaker 2: Gotta just quickly remove the tape and get really really
Speaker 2: close there.
Speaker 3: We're getting kicked out of the studio.
