Rupture. 0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:34.399 Rupture would be even worse. So you did not require surgery. 0:01:34.400 --> 0:01:35.720 I did not not yet. 0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:37.840 Now I'm going to go on to ie. 0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:43.200 I'm limited. I am not going to I R. I'm 0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:44.679 gonna I'm gonna work through away. 0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:46.320 He's questionable going to the area. 0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:49.080 I'm questionable going into each week and two further, day 0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:50.800 to day. Baby today, baby. 0:01:50.920 --> 0:01:52.840 Now I'm going to ask what all of Cowboys Nation 0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:54.880 is thinking right now? What the hell did you do? 0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:55.880 And what the hell did do? 0:01:55.920 --> 0:01:58.240 How did you rupture tear your tendon? 0:01:58.360 --> 0:02:01.720 All right? So, uh, powers of deduction. The only way 0:02:01.760 --> 0:02:03.720 it could have happened is I was I was on 0:02:03.760 --> 0:02:06.280 a baseball field and I was making a throw from 0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:09.160 the fence to home plate. So I was shooting four. 0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:13.120 Right after I made that throw, effect something weak twinge 0:02:13.160 --> 0:02:15.480 in the elbow. Now, it's not the first time that's happened, 0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:18.080 so I'm thinking, Okay, just a little strain or whatever. 0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:22.360 Given a week or so, ice rest, sam anti inflammatories, 0:02:22.480 --> 0:02:25.600 it'll be good as new. But I actually did not 0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:28.320 give it a week because two days later I was back. 0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:29.520 On the base I was in the gym. 0:02:30.080 --> 0:02:31.640 I was in the gym and I was doing up 0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:34.320 for bodywork. I was lifting. I got to like the 0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:37.239 third set of some hammer curls, and it just felt 0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:41.120 like somebody shot me in elbow, like just bang. And 0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:43.760 I was like, yeah, that's that's not great. So me 0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:46.679 being me and for those of us that have been 0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:52.800 athletes and our athletes, you know, you procrastinate getting the news. Okay, 0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:54.040 So I let it. 0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:55.519 So this was three years ago. 0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:59.200 This damn here right, So they slept. This happened four 0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:03.920 weeks ago. So three weeks subsequent to that, I just 0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:06.760 kept holding out hope. I even I took a two 0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:09.160 week hiatus from the gym, came off the field. Well 0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:11.440 the season was over anyway as far as ball was concerned. Sure, 0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:13.960 So gave it like two or three weeks and just 0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:17.560 no progress at all. So I started to get concerned. 0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:21.600 Went to see an orthopedic surgeon on yesterday afternoon, ran 0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:23.720 some skins, came back in and he was like, so 0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:27.119 young got some good news and some bad news. Which 0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:29.320 do you want first? I was like, give me the 0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:31.000 good news. He was like, oh, so you. 0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:33.919 Go good news for good news instead of bad news. 0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:36.200 I am a sociopath. I want the good news first. 0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:38.200 Well, yesterday you decided to go bad news first. 0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:40.840 Yeah, that's because I'm you know, teamwork, right, I know 0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:43.600 you guys like at the end verse, so you know. 0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:45.280 So he gave me the good news. He was like, 0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:48.480 it's not fully torn, not fully ruptured, so we don't 0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:50.560 need to talk about surgery right now. But he was like, 0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:55.400 it is partially torn, moderately partially torn. So they put 0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:57.640 me on the plan. I have you know, physical therapy 0:03:57.720 --> 0:03:59.960 for the three times a week for the next eight weeks. 0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:03.240 After being the slang for several hours of day, I 0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:05.320 got to brace on under the slang as well. So 0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:09.800 it's fine. Everything's finn. Yeah, Murphy's law with this season, 0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:13.920 like even the reporters are going downs. 0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:17.400 Don't say that because I've got a lot going on. 0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:21.840 The next couple man, protect yourself, protect you. 0:04:22.000 --> 0:04:24.480 So so yeah, we got to They have me on 0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:27.359 a ninety day plan, so follow up after ninety days 0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:29.440 and then if we see some progress or a good 0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:32.680 bit progress, good bit of progress, then you know, we'll 0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:35.320 just stick to the plan. But if it's not improving, 0:04:35.640 --> 0:04:37.480 then comes the surgery conversations. 0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:39.520 But we are not going with us now, Well, yeah, 0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:40.400 I hope for the best there. 0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:41.320 You'll do what you need to do. 0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:43.720 I've had worse. I mean when you're an athlete your 0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:46.719 whole life, you know, and everyone who's been an athlete 0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:48.920 their whole life or most of their life, you've had 0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:50.640 You've had some bangers. 0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:55.520 I'm surprised this wasn't from your drill with Jordan Lewis. 0:04:55.800 --> 0:04:56.880 That's what it actually was. 0:04:57.000 --> 0:05:01.240 Yeah, it would have been Jordan's Yeah, sit it, I'm 0:05:01.279 --> 0:05:03.680 gonna say it. I'm going to say it. I'm not 0:05:03.680 --> 0:05:07.000 going to see it. Yeah, I'm not gonna say I'm 0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:09.600 not going to say it. But no, Yeah, So it's fun. 0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:11.279 It's fun, everything's fun. 0:05:11.120 --> 0:05:11.720 Everything's good. 0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:12.159 Everything. 0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:13.040 You'll be all right. 0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:15.680 Yeah, I know you'll have had much worse. This is 0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:16.280 not a big deal. 0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:18.239 All right, here we go. We've got some callers lined 0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:18.800 up already. 0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:19.400 Let's do it. 0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:22.560 We're gonna go into our first caller. So we're going 0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:24.159 to ten guys. Ten callers. 0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:26.240 That means if you are gonna call, you've got a 0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:27.360 great shot to be on the show. 0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:27.560 One. 0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:31.159 That's the number one thing to take in consideration here. Secondly, 0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:34.640 be quick, get in get out. We're we're gonna try 0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:36.839 and set a record. Here we go start with right now. 0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:40.440 It is time to go to Dano in Florida. Dano, 0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:43.400 you're a talking Cowboys. Nobody better to get us kicked 0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:45.160 off here on this talking Tuesday. What's going on? 0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:48.599 How are you doing? No, Sea's got that bad wing. 0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:49.800 Hope he gets better soon. 0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:51.839 You appreciate that much love, much love. 0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:56.240 Hey, guys, you know, I watched the big boys up front, 0:05:56.320 --> 0:05:59.000 and I'm somewhat fortunate I get to bounce some of 0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:04.440 my football stuff off my old college coaches down here. 0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:07.360 And he also coached with the Cowboys for eighteen years, 0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:09.320 so he kind of knows what he's talking about too. 0:06:10.960 --> 0:06:13.560 You know, at the beginning of the year, I was railing 0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:17.920 on Taron Steele, just railing on him. Last couple of games, 0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:23.719 he has played exceptionally well. I think, Okay, to me, 0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:25.720 I don't know. You know, I used to sit there 0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:30.279 and say his feater and cement run blocking, he's pretty 0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:35.240 darn good. He's gotten better in past blocking. You know. 0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:39.080 The offensive line coach, you know, they always said the 0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:42.000 game passed by Landry, the game passed by Nolan, the 0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:45.919 game passed by certain coaches. I know he coached with Landry. 0:06:45.960 --> 0:06:49.440 I'm wondering if the game has passed by him because 0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:52.039 I you know, why did it take so long to 0:06:52.120 --> 0:06:57.800 maybe coach steal up will say? That's my opinion Defensively, 0:06:58.200 --> 0:07:01.880 I got to be honest. I've always liked Osa, Mozzie 0:07:01.920 --> 0:07:05.599 Smith seems like he's coming around. Chauncey Goldstein to me, 0:07:06.400 --> 0:07:10.960 is an unsung hero almost. I mean he's solid. Okay, 0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:16.760 he's very solid. So you know, whether I don't know 0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:19.240 what's going to happen this year and if the owner, 0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:24.360 general manager, player personnel guy can do some things in 0:07:24.440 --> 0:07:27.120 the off season. It's not like this is a huge 0:07:27.160 --> 0:07:31.440 rebuild at all. I don't believe that. I like what 0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:33.800 I see from Brock Kaufman. What I like most about 0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:37.800 him because he brings that nasty attitude and that's going 0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:40.239 to rub off on some other guys and that's not bad. 0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:44.680 That's my opinion there. That's what I got to say. 0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:46.960 I know you said keep it quick. That's what I'm 0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:50.960 gonna do again. I just think I think I like 0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:54.000 McCarthy a lot. I hope he comes back. I hope 0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:57.520 he's brought back. I would go find you know what, 0:07:57.600 --> 0:08:00.400 I'd have Mark Lumbo on speed dial. That's what I 0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:04.440 would do. So with that being said, guys, good to 0:08:04.480 --> 0:08:06.280 talk to you. You guys have a great week. 0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:07.280 Appreciate you. 0:08:07.360 --> 0:08:11.120 Dano as always a couple points there. I'll start with 0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:15.160 Terrence Steele. I absolutely agree. He's been fantastic last two weeks. 0:08:15.240 --> 0:08:18.360 And I know on this show we were very critical 0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:20.040 of Terrence Steele at the beginning of the year, and 0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:23.040 for good reason. Six pressures against New Orleans, five pressures 0:08:23.080 --> 0:08:26.600 against Detroit, four pressures against San Francisco, four against both 0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:29.880 Philadelphia and Houston. But the last two weeks combined, gentlemen 0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:33.480 to him, he's had one pressure in each game. He 0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:38.760 had one pressure or one hurry against Washington, one QB 0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:42.440 hit against New York, and that's what's all they've got. 0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:45.200 So he's been fantastic. In the film backs it up 0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:47.680 as well. He's helped run game. He's actually been pretty 0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:49.800 good in the run game throughout the years. That's not 0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:53.080 necessarily a huge change. It's been the pass blocking that's 0:08:53.080 --> 0:08:55.520 been his big bugaboo, and that's not the case over 0:08:55.559 --> 0:08:58.160 the last two weeks. So at least we're seeing some 0:08:58.320 --> 0:08:58.640 things in. 0:08:58.640 --> 0:09:00.920 The right direction. Thankful for that because his Terrence Steele 0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:03.800 is actually playing like the player you paid for, right, 0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:07.520 And I don't mean that in a derogatory way, true though, 0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:09.760 when you look at how he was playing before his 0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:13.800 injury the year before last, that's the reason why he 0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:17.080 was starting, that's why he got paid. You didn't see 0:09:17.080 --> 0:09:18.400 that last year and a big part of it. And 0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:20.280 when we talked to Nate about it, I was talking 0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:23.360 about this boy's coming back from a crazy injury, a 0:09:23.480 --> 0:09:26.360 catastrophic injury in the middle of the season. For him 0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:30.280 to start that next season game one was a long shot, 0:09:30.360 --> 0:09:32.800 and he did it. He didn't play well last season 0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:35.000 at all by any means, you know, throughout the course 0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:37.200 of the year, but you're starting to see that comeback 0:09:37.240 --> 0:09:38.200 the reason why you paid him. 0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:40.240 Yeah, I agree wholeheartedly with Daniel. First of all, that 0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:44.600 had its fire. My god, my word inspire change. But 0:09:44.760 --> 0:09:47.880 it's funny that Daniel brings this up and we are, 0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:51.840 like mine's on the same wavelength. Here driving in prior 0:09:51.880 --> 0:09:53.839 to Jerry's spot on the one O five three the fan, 0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:55.720 I was just kind of going through my head sitting 0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:57.880 at the red light, and I was thinking of guys 0:09:57.880 --> 0:10:00.840 who have taken steps forward over the course of the season, 0:10:01.040 --> 0:10:03.880 and one of the headliners for me was Terrence Steele. 0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:06.400 So I love that Danil brings this up because in 0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:08.719 the in past pro like you said, Kyle, he has 0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:12.680 absolutely stepped it up one hundred. But although he was 0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:15.560 solid in his run game, not but but And although 0:10:15.559 --> 0:10:18.640 he was solid in his run game, what he's doing 0:10:18.679 --> 0:10:20.480 now is even leveled up. If you go back and 0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:23.400 you look at that Rico Dwo touchdown against New York Giants, 0:10:23.480 --> 0:10:27.000 he was escorted into the end zone by Terrence Steele, 0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:29.720 who wald off one guy, got him out of the way, 0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:31.920 and then went to the second level and knocked another 0:10:31.960 --> 0:10:34.800 guy out of the way. It was a police escort basically. 0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:37.640 So yes, absolutely, Terrence Steele shouts out to him. He 0:10:37.679 --> 0:10:39.440 has caught a lot of flak this season, caught a 0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:42.040 lot more flak last season, keeping in mind he was 0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:44.520 coming off of that torn acl he needed some time. 0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:47.440 You would have liked to see him start this year 0:10:47.480 --> 0:10:49.400 the way he's playing right now, But the fact he 0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:51.920 is playing this way right now votes well for twenty 0:10:51.920 --> 0:10:52.400 twenty five. 0:10:52.440 --> 0:10:54.040 I want to see it more. I want to see more. 0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:57.040 I've seen it in two straight games, Kobe Bryant, gift more, more, 0:10:57.280 --> 0:11:00.000 more more I needed for the next five games. 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:02.080 If you can string it together and you've got seven 0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:06.640 straight games of legitimate contribute or contributions, I feel really 0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:08.600 really good about Terrence still going into next year. 0:11:08.640 --> 0:11:10.679 And one more really quick point on this call. Really 0:11:10.679 --> 0:11:13.400 appreciate the call. Chauncey Golston is a name that you battle, 0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:16.480 and I want to if you've been listening to talking, 0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:20.200 you understand. But whenever Mike Parsons went down, whenever Marcus 0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:24.679 Lawrence went down, whenever uh Marshall Neilan went down, everybody 0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:27.360 else was looking outside. Everyone else was saying, all right, 0:11:27.400 --> 0:11:28.920 who's out there on the free agency market? 0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:29.559 Go get this name. 0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:32.880 Let's go get this name. Patrick no C. Walker. I'll 0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:35.920 give him his flowers today. But he was one of 0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:40.440 the few on on any podcast platform that looked internally 0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:43.600 and said, Chauncey, Chauncey Golston, Good for you, Pat, Good 0:11:43.600 --> 0:11:43.800 for you. 0:11:43.840 --> 0:11:45.959 Pat. Appreciate even with a bat wing you're out here 0:11:45.960 --> 0:11:46.679 making great points. 0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:47.520 Let me too. 0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:50.200 But I'm not out all right, Let's go to Cynthia 0:11:50.320 --> 0:11:51.119 and Laredo. 0:11:51.360 --> 0:11:54.319 Cynthia what's going on talking cowboys? 0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:58.679 Hi guys, good morning Thanksgiving. 0:12:00.360 --> 0:12:02.839 I actually I live in Converse and I went down 0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:04.360 to Laredo for Thanksgiving. 0:12:05.480 --> 0:12:08.520 Okay, we've just got you known and tabbed as Cynthia 0:12:08.559 --> 0:12:12.559 from Laredo. So so that's incorrect. Now we should change that. 0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:16.560 No, she still eats good in Laredo, that's true. 0:12:16.679 --> 0:12:18.840 Yeah, what's on your mind? 0:12:19.520 --> 0:12:19.760 Well? 0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:23.040 Hey Coyle, I forgot to tell you before. 0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:28.000 I'm a Mean Green graduate. What go? 0:12:29.040 --> 0:12:29.480 I knew why? 0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:31.840 I like you, Cynthia go mean Green. 0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:35.400 Let's go what class nineteen eighty? 0:12:35.440 --> 0:12:37.319 We were MTSU back then. 0:12:37.440 --> 0:12:40.600 Yeah, North Texas State University Eagles. Now you're in the North 0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:44.240 Texas Mean Green love it class baby woo. 0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:47.640 Yeah, so I thought I throw in there guys real quick. 0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:49.200 I know you have a lot of collars coming in. 0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:53.880 There's something that I've been wandering a lot, like. 0:12:54.559 --> 0:13:00.280 What do you attribute to our cowboys getting hurt so much? 0:13:00.480 --> 0:13:05.360 Is it preak? Is it the done? I just kind 0:13:05.360 --> 0:13:08.200 of like, what the heck is going on with the cowboys. 0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:09.680 Uh So I'll just do. 0:13:09.760 --> 0:13:12.640 It there And I wish you guys a great day. 0:13:13.080 --> 0:13:14.600 And Patrick, I'll be praying for you. 0:13:15.320 --> 0:13:18.640 Thank you Donald, You're the sweetest since Cynthia. A great question. 0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:21.000 Is it just luck of the draw? 0:13:21.200 --> 0:13:22.440 I mean, am I supposed to answer this? 0:13:22.559 --> 0:13:29.479 Yeah, it's tough, Josh doesn't. 0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:35.679 It's tough. That's what protect yourselves. Protect yourselfs fellas, No, 0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:38.920 I honestly think, man, it's because the Cowboys have a 0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:42.559 phenomenal training staff. So that's that's not the crux of 0:13:42.600 --> 0:13:45.520 the issue. It's like I said several times, it's just 0:13:45.600 --> 0:13:48.640 Murphy's law. At this point, it's nothing because this is 0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:51.200 the same preparation they were doing last season and the 0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:53.160 season prior and the season prior. As far as the 0:13:53.240 --> 0:13:56.040 McCarthy era, I know that Jason Garrett era had a 0:13:56.120 --> 0:13:58.080 couple of seasons that were similar to this, but not 0:13:58.160 --> 0:14:00.719 even this bad. But if you look at just the 0:14:00.800 --> 0:14:04.200 McCarthy era since he came in in twenty twenty, there's 0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:07.280 been nothing like this as far as being ravaged by injury. 0:14:07.559 --> 0:14:12.760 Week after a week, headline name, headline name, headline name, Hey, 0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:15.320 next man up, you're going down to with the injury. 0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:18.000 Talking about Josh Butler, you lose him for the season 0:14:18.040 --> 0:14:20.720 with a torn acl and he's a perfect example of 0:14:20.760 --> 0:14:23.080 what I mean as it feels like no one on 0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:27.200 the roster it's safe. Dak Prescott obviously franchise quarterback, he 0:14:27.240 --> 0:14:29.320 signs his big deal, you get him for a few weeks, 0:14:29.320 --> 0:14:31.640 and then he's done for the season with that torn 0:14:31.880 --> 0:14:35.600 that ruptured hamstring more or less. So I don't think 0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:37.880 that there's any rhyme or reason to it at all. 0:14:37.920 --> 0:14:43.080 It is quite simply just bad run of luck and 0:14:43.160 --> 0:14:45.800 it doesn't seem to be turning around at any point. 0:14:45.880 --> 0:14:49.880 So but you know that makes me give that much 0:14:49.920 --> 0:14:52.320 more that many more roses or bouquets of roses. Two 0:14:52.400 --> 0:14:54.360 players like Chauncey Ghosten and some of these other guys 0:14:54.440 --> 0:14:56.560 Carl Lawston who have come in and stepped up and 0:14:56.600 --> 0:14:59.560 been able to show things. So yeah, it's a league 0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:03.680 of a opportunity. And sometimes the opportunity that you get 0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:07.920 presented is not because something you know good came for 0:15:07.960 --> 0:15:10.160 the guy, but when it happens. 0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:12.080 When it rains, it pours, and I don't think the 0:15:12.160 --> 0:15:15.880 narrative has so yeah, I don't think the narrative necessarily 0:15:15.880 --> 0:15:17.360 has been that way. If you look at the forty 0:15:17.440 --> 0:15:19.120 I mean, right now, good morning football, it is just 0:15:19.160 --> 0:15:20.640 going to bring that up. We're looking at the forty 0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:23.560 nine ers, who just placed Christian McCaffrey, Jordan Mason and 0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:26.960 I are the narrative all season has been the forty 0:15:27.040 --> 0:15:29.560 nine Ers have been ravaged by injuries all season, not 0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:32.680 necessarily take and Cowboys have been in public enemy number 0:15:32.680 --> 0:15:35.200 one because of how poorly they've played, especially early on 0:15:35.280 --> 0:15:39.480 in the season. Are we getting that grace though of 0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:41.040 our star players going down. 0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:43.400 And I don't know, I don't know if their situation. 0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:48.600 I don't think our situation is worse than THEIRS. I 0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:51.920 think THEIRS is probably the worst in the NFL across 0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:53.680 the board. They are ravaged. 0:15:53.720 --> 0:15:56.720 But if there's any close second place, it's this team. 0:15:56.800 --> 0:15:59.320 And you could argue they've had more success, especially in 0:15:59.400 --> 0:16:02.240 the playoffs. You could argue that they're the better team, 0:16:02.240 --> 0:16:05.800 which is why you're not going to get comparatively, and 0:16:05.880 --> 0:16:09.120 they did more in the off season. Two Yeah, whereas 0:16:09.160 --> 0:16:11.040 the Cowboys have been sort of a I don't want 0:16:11.080 --> 0:16:12.400 to say a meme, but like they've. 0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:14.400 Been, they've been a punching bag. 0:16:14.480 --> 0:16:16.840 Yeah, they've been a punching bag. For the lack of 0:16:16.920 --> 0:16:19.680 moves this off season, Brandon, A lot of those were 0:16:19.920 --> 0:16:20.600 pretty decent. 0:16:20.720 --> 0:16:24.000 So who has the longer Super Bowl drought a San 0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:25.960 Francisco correct, just so. 0:16:25.920 --> 0:16:27.640 You know, But the narrative isn't going to change in 0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:29.840 Dallas and too. Dallas changes the narrative, and then a 0:16:29.840 --> 0:16:31.760 new narrative will problem and then it'll pop up. 0:16:31.800 --> 0:16:35.640 Yeah, all right, Josh and Chicago, you were on Talking Cowboys. 0:16:35.640 --> 0:16:36.560 What's going on?
