It's time to 0:01:03.640 --> 0:01:07.880 get fired up for some football against Philly. It is 0:01:08.120 --> 0:01:12.560 a fabulous fight song Friday here on Mixed Shots inside 0:01:12.560 --> 0:01:17.600 the SWBC podcast studio. Mickey's got his fighting shirt on, 0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:23.000 his Missoo Tiger shirt. We don't have Everson Walls today. 0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:27.640 He told us yesterday that he had another assignment today. 0:01:27.840 --> 0:01:29.840 He's had a luncheon, so he can't be on the 0:01:29.840 --> 0:01:30.480 show today. 0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:33.280 And I have not seen his picks yet. Have you 0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:35.840 seen his picks? No, he has not texted. 0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:39.240 Okay, someone needs to put out an alert to Everson 0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:41.720 at this luncheon as he's listening. I don't know if 0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:44.840 he's the keynote speaker at the luncheon or say what 0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:47.720 it was for I can't remember what he said, but 0:01:48.080 --> 0:01:51.840 we beat his picks, all right, and till rainy day 0:01:51.920 --> 0:01:55.720 here in Frisco. So what normally we see on a Friday, 0:01:55.960 --> 0:01:59.960 a walk through Friday our football players on a football field. 0:01:59.680 --> 0:02:05.680 Going will walk through. But it's indoors today and probably 0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:09.760 indoors tomorrow, I would imagine. I haven't looked at the 0:02:09.760 --> 0:02:11.880 weather forecast for the right. I think it was supposed 0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:14.000 to be rainy, right, Okay, although I thought I saw 0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:17.920 the sun peeking through. Okay, Well, a good sign. There's 0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:23.359 a sun please speaking in Frisco, all right. And it's 0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:25.400 a big game for the Cowboys if they're going to 0:02:26.440 --> 0:02:28.600 turn this thing around, and they've got to do it 0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:31.680 with Cooper Rush at quarterback. And he's of course five 0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:33.720 and one in his career. When four and. 0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:36.280 One in one season, now that that lone loss was 0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:42.679 against Philadelphia, but never mind that. And then the other 0:02:42.840 --> 0:02:47.040 big question we're facing today is when the injury report 0:02:47.120 --> 0:02:50.560 comes out this afternoon, who is going to be questionable, 0:02:50.600 --> 0:02:53.560 who's going to be ruled out, and who is who 0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:56.320 has a chance to play On Sunday at three twenty. 0:02:56.040 --> 0:02:58.280 Five, I'm going to give you a guess yep, let's 0:02:58.280 --> 0:02:58.760 go for it. 0:02:58.960 --> 0:02:59.560 What you want. 0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:00.959 Chance they're out? 0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:04.560 I want both. Run down the list here of the 0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:07.800 guys that we already know summer out. 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:09.960 Yeah, Doran Bland's out. 0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:14.440 Right, Brandon Cooks has been on injured reserve, so he yeah, 0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:17.120 he's not even on this since he's still on IR, 0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:20.400 so he's not beginning to get back even though he 0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:24.160 would have been eligible this week. Right, Dak Prescott's out, 0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:29.320 Juan Ye Thomas out, Nick Vigil Well, he's been putting 0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:33.120 up with this foot every week. He hasn't practiced yet. 0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:37.000 At best, he's questionable. Maybe they list him as doubtful. 0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:43.880 I think the one that's maybe somewhat questionable would be 0:03:44.040 --> 0:03:47.720 Zach Martin with the shoulder. He hadn't practiced yet this week. 0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:52.040 Normally it says shoulder slash rest. It just says shoulders. 0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:54.880 He says shoulder, And it's usually a D and P 0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:57.880 on a Wednesday, but a limited on a Thursday. Right, 0:03:57.960 --> 0:04:00.640 he showed up D and P on Thursday. That makes 0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:07.080 you wonder, all right they playing, By the way, whoever 0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:10.280 is playing guard for the Cowboys right guard? In this 0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:13.960 case with Zach Martin, you have your hands full as 0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:17.760 you saw Will mcclay's telestrator sentment for the Coaches Show 0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:21.560 yesterday that Jalen Carter is quite a handful. 0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:23.080 Yeah, and. 0:04:25.160 --> 0:04:27.880 You would have to somewhat double team him, right. 0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:28.640 TJ. 0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:31.520 Bass would be the guy that would take over there. 0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:34.640 So I don't know if they're just trying to get 0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:38.200 Zach to Sunday and not let him do anything all 0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:40.960 week and then say, Okay, go play. Somebody asked me 0:04:41.000 --> 0:04:43.840 about that, what if he doesn't practice? I said, I'll 0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:48.680 take Zach Martin out there not practicing one snap over 0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:52.040 whoever else they got to put out there, unless he's 0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:57.320 just so injured that he's absolutely not effective. 0:04:57.480 --> 0:05:00.360 And this is at least a month now where Zach 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:04.039 Martin has been battling one thing or another, whether it's 0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:07.120 the back that sometimes flares up on him, which was 0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:10.600 a month ago before the Detroit game, or in this 0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:13.000 case it's now for several weeks this shoulder. 0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:16.400 Do you think people like pay attention to that stuff. 0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:21.880 No, they just in general people just say, oh, he's. 0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:23.640 Playing awful, it's worst season. 0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:24.000 Yeah. 0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:27.599 Usually keep and they keep asking the question. 0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:31.960 They asked it to Schottenheimer, they asked it to McCarthy 0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:38.240 just watch or listen or read. But all they do 0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:42.240 is look at the results and Okay, he missed the block. Well, 0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:44.400 we never see him miss a block. So now this 0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:45.520 is his worst season. 0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:51.120 And usually when a whether it's Zach Martin or you 0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:53.680 name the player, if it's a perennial Pro Bowl player 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:57.200 who is not playing up to the same level that 0:05:57.279 --> 0:06:00.400 he has set throughout his career, usually there's something going on. 0:06:00.680 --> 0:06:03.320 Yeah, I mean, I mean, he's on the he's been 0:06:03.360 --> 0:06:05.880 on the injury report. I don't know how many several 0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:11.479 weeks in a row now, So yeah, he's he's probably 0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:12.960 doing the best he can out there. 0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:17.120 So on Dak, are you anticipating that Dak gets placed 0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:19.280 on I R by Saturday? 0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:19.960 I don't. 0:06:20.960 --> 0:06:22.560 There's no hurry to put him on I R. 0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:27.560 The only reason would be if there was another roster 0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:30.560 move that you wanted to make that like to save 0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:32.960 some roster spot whatever, Right. 0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:35.520 But whoever they bring in, they're gonna be in. 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:40.599 Look here, Spot. 0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:43.000 And Frisco. 0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:44.640 It must be Radar. 0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:48.200 He just he just got zoomed in that we were 0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:52.480 one man short. Uh huh, Nate and Nate and Frisco 0:06:52.640 --> 0:06:54.919 has shown up here as soon as he hears that, 0:06:54.960 --> 0:06:58.960 ever since is on assignment. Here comes Nate a running yea. 0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:05.000 And so much yes, yes, so As. 0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:08.479 I was going to say, whoever they would put on 0:07:08.520 --> 0:07:11.040 the roster is going to be an active, So it 0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:13.800 really doesn't matter if Dak's inactive or the guy they 0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:16.360 bring in as an active. They can just kind of 0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:20.800 prolong that until they decide what route they're going to 0:07:20.880 --> 0:07:24.480 take or rehab, rest or surgery. 0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:28.680 And you're talking about can that comment. 0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:32.400 Yes, you have any history with that type of injury. 0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:35.880 No, I don't, I don't. The thing is, Fellas is 0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:40.200 that's not you're wasting time. 0:07:40.760 --> 0:07:45.480 It's not germane to the situation. Whatever that means. 0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:48.440 Yeah, what means that's the Oh you think that's not 0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:56.440 a fam you think French? Yeah, Dak it's hurt badly, 0:07:57.120 --> 0:08:01.760 whether it's a partial a full, he has hurt badly, 0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:04.880 and for him to be able to come back in 0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:08.240 a reasonable time to help this team, it's not going 0:08:08.320 --> 0:08:12.840 to happen. And maybe y'all was talking about something totally different, 0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:15.440 but that's just my take. That's not going to happen. 0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:19.880 So Cooper Rush is our guy. He gives us the 0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:23.520 best chance to win. Let's let's ride him. Let's see 0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:27.000 what he can do. We know what he can do, 0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:32.719 but situations was different. We had more continuity and a 0:08:32.760 --> 0:08:35.360 little bit better playing on our offensive line than last 0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:37.679 time he was ran out there. It's a little bit 0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:41.240 different this time. So, but Dak is not coming back 0:08:42.320 --> 0:08:43.200 anytime soon. 0:08:43.480 --> 0:08:48.760 I think what I hear from the medical experts out there, 0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:51.880 it sounds like the best case scenario. 0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:55.920 Might be six weeks. And so that means that the next. 0:08:55.720 --> 0:08:57.680 Six weeks we've got to be six and oh. 0:08:58.240 --> 0:09:01.719 Well, the team has to, Yes, it has to make 0:09:01.760 --> 0:09:04.240 it worthwhile for Dak to come back, even if it 0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:06.560 is six weeks from now. Six and oh and it 0:09:06.600 --> 0:09:08.280 needs to be like Steve Berline. 0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:10.000 Okay, if we run it off. 0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:12.000 You want to take it back to nineteen ninety one. 0:09:12.200 --> 0:09:15.600 Remember what when Troy got hurts and Steve Berlin came in. 0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:18.280 And what did Steve Berlin do? He had had a 0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:22.400 nice season, five game five straight, five straight into the playoffs, 0:09:22.400 --> 0:09:25.200 the playoff went over Chicago, and then Detroit happened. 0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:27.520 You know, I love. 0:09:29.720 --> 0:09:32.640 Now it's coming from Nate and it may not sound 0:09:32.760 --> 0:09:36.040 like sound right, And what I'm beasaying, but I like 0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:37.360 the idea that we'll. 0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:38.760 Plan a lot of young guys. 0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:43.080 I love that idea, and it's too bad that we 0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:47.720 have not had success. But I said it a couple 0:09:47.800 --> 0:09:49.760 of weeks ago, and you guys showing I'm saying, and 0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:52.240 now I'm loving playing these young guys. 0:09:52.400 --> 0:09:54.480 It don't look nice, but. 0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:59.800 Sometime there in the near future, it'll get better, you know. 0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:03.560 Even coach McCarthy said it after a couple of games ago. 0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:06.920 It don't look nice right now, you know, but give 0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:09.160 it some time, it'll get better. 0:10:09.240 --> 0:10:12.120 And that's one of the reasons why you keep grinding, 0:10:12.720 --> 0:10:17.320 if you want these young guys to get experience and 0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:20.559 to understand what goes on in the National Football League. 0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:23.959 Yes, I mean, and I will say this, if you're 0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:28.000 a fan, you do have a right to believe and 0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:29.920 to want your team to win. I'm not going to 0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:34.200 ever tell you what you should expect as a fan. 0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:37.280 I don't pay that note that you pay for these tickets, 0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:40.760 so when you all of that has to be taken 0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:44.680 into consideration. I just actually take that into consideration. But 0:10:45.480 --> 0:10:47.600 the right to want to win and to want to 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:50.400 be the have this cowboyl mistique you keep doing that 0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:51.280 As a fan. 0:10:52.080 --> 0:10:52.160 I. 0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:54.800 Often wonder. 0:10:56.600 --> 0:11:02.480 Because I look at going to games or whatever as entertainment. Yes, 0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:05.800 I never looked at it as well, I'm only buying 0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:07.920 that ticket because I think my team can win. 0:11:08.720 --> 0:11:12.439 Yeah, And I think most people probably think. 0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:14.240 Yeah, the majority of the people do. 0:11:15.640 --> 0:11:18.160 You start out as a little kid as a fan, 0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:21.480 You get your you know certain players, and you may 0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:23.920 develop a certain love for a team, depending on what 0:11:24.000 --> 0:11:26.800 the family members, or the situation or the region that 0:11:26.880 --> 0:11:27.200 you're in. 0:11:27.480 --> 0:11:29.559 And but. 0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:35.320 When when when the reality of it hits and you 0:11:35.440 --> 0:11:38.559 have a lot of other options where you can put 0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:43.600 your money. Uh, that's why California does what it does. 0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:47.160 Certain states they have to be going in every year 0:11:47.400 --> 0:11:51.560 trying to be that monster every year because when you 0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:55.400 have other options, uh, to put your money in there, 0:11:55.440 --> 0:11:57.640 you want to feel like when you walk into that 0:11:57.720 --> 0:11:58.439 stadium you do. 0:11:58.440 --> 0:11:59.400 Have a chance to win. 0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:02.600 You you got to because it's too many other things 0:12:02.640 --> 0:12:06.040 out here in this world of entertainment that can take 0:12:06.040 --> 0:12:06.880 away that dollar. 0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:08.880 And so mister Jones. 0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:11.000 Has done a master for job, him and his crew 0:12:11.040 --> 0:12:14.200 of people and family of selling that mystique of the 0:12:14.280 --> 0:12:17.000 Dallas Cowboys. And they're going to continue to sell it. 0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:21.280 And now that our fans over the last seventy years 0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:25.160 have bought into it, they just breed more people like that. 0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:29.480 Well, I just think that you continue to support I 0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:32.480 got this shirt on today. Yes, they got no chance 0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:35.199 in hell of winning if their starting quarterback doesn't play 0:12:35.200 --> 0:12:36.480 on Saturday. 0:12:36.679 --> 0:12:37.319 Oklahoma. 0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:44.320 Now it watched Oklahoma this year. No, you haven't watched 0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:45.439 the backup quarterback. 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:49.120 You haven't seed it offensive light until you've seen Oklahoma's 0:12:49.120 --> 0:12:53.480 offensive I know they were in the ballgame last or 0:12:53.520 --> 0:12:56.920 two weeks ago against Alabama, was six to nothing. Obama 0:12:57.000 --> 0:13:00.440 scored a touchdown right before half thirteen and nothing. Backup 0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:03.720 quarterback had to come in. And the next three series 0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:08.079 where interception interception. You want to hear about a touchdown, touchdown, touchdown, 0:13:08.280 --> 0:13:10.520 You want to hear a backup quarterback situation. 0:13:10.600 --> 0:13:13.240 I'll take it you have starters playing backup. 0:13:14.320 --> 0:13:17.480 But no, I'm trying to take you back to two 0:13:17.600 --> 0:13:20.960 years ago when know you played Texas, Dylan Gabriel got 0:13:21.040 --> 0:13:25.079 hurt the week before. They literally did not have a 0:13:25.240 --> 0:13:28.120 quarterback to play in the game. So they direct snap. 0:13:28.559 --> 0:13:30.560 No, they did not say not the whole game. 0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:34.640 When they did bring in a guy eventually, but the 0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:38.000 first series of the game, it was direct snaps, wildcat offense. 0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:39.760 They got beat forty nine to nothing that day. 0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:42.520 Well, I'm bracing for it. 0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:47.240 I understand about loyalty, and I look at the college 0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:50.240 game on It's just Nate. Look at the college game 0:13:50.240 --> 0:13:55.040 a little bit different than the pro game. You you 0:13:55.240 --> 0:13:58.439 have allegiance to that school because you attended that school. 0:13:58.559 --> 0:14:01.760 Blood switch's there's an investment. 0:14:01.280 --> 0:14:04.280 In that and sometimes it's your kids that yeah you've 0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:07.000 invested in thanks you, well, well even more in that school. 0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:12.080 But when you're talking about pro I mean all sports now, pro, 0:14:12.360 --> 0:14:16.040 high school, whatever. But when you're talking about when you 0:14:16.080 --> 0:14:18.600 wake up in the morning and you got two hundred 0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:21.840 and sixty dollars and you got it, you know it 0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:25.040 ain't no Missouri, It ain't no Oklahoma. My kids ain't there. 0:14:25.880 --> 0:14:33.520 You know, you got a choice to say, Mavericks, Rangers, Cowboys, Stars, Yeah, stars, 0:14:33.560 --> 0:14:36.080 So you got a choice there where you want to 0:14:36.080 --> 0:14:38.960 spend your professional dollars or who you want to be 0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:42.520 aligned to. Now, me as a cowboy fan, I grew 0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:44.400 up a cowboy fan all my license. I was ten 0:14:44.440 --> 0:14:48.240 eleven years old, So I choose the Cowboys, and so 0:14:48.560 --> 0:14:52.000 that's where my wife goes to all Cowboys games. That's 0:14:52.000 --> 0:14:55.600 the only ticket I'm paying for in that house. But 0:14:56.440 --> 0:14:59.120 what I expect from the Cowboys maybe different than what 0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:03.480 Mickey expects, what Bill expect. I expect this team to 0:15:03.520 --> 0:15:08.240 be competitive and stay competitive on a high level. But 0:15:08.400 --> 0:15:11.960 I do know from playing and seeing how you build 0:15:12.000 --> 0:15:15.800 a team that you're gonna have some bad years. 0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:18.680 Not no mediocre years. 0:15:18.720 --> 0:15:21.560 You're gonna have some bad years. What you got to 0:15:21.600 --> 0:15:23.440 do is try to find a way to curve that 0:15:24.360 --> 0:15:26.520 to not let this be a four and a five 0:15:26.600 --> 0:15:28.480 year project. You have to get this thing at two 0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:30.640 to two and a half. And I'll give you a 0:15:30.640 --> 0:15:34.840 perfect example. I think what Detroit did, it wasn't no 0:15:34.960 --> 0:15:38.040 one year turned around. Like some guys are already set 0:15:38.120 --> 0:15:41.320 up with the right athletes. I think Washington was already 0:15:41.360 --> 0:15:45.160 set in place. All they needed was a quarterback. So 0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:48.280 rams after that Super Bowl they was already in place. 0:15:48.320 --> 0:15:52.360 They needed a quarterback. Okay, so you have that success, 0:15:52.840 --> 0:15:55.560 but when your team gets a little older, like our 0:15:55.640 --> 0:15:58.880 team has gotten older, and you don't have enough young 0:15:58.920 --> 0:16:02.360 guys at high your picks and uh bringing in the 0:16:02.440 --> 0:16:06.800 right flavor at the time, you're gonna have this these 0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:09.120 years like this, but you got to go out and 0:16:09.160 --> 0:16:11.080 you got to show the people that you're going to 0:16:11.120 --> 0:16:13.960 be competitive and you're gonna try to play the right 0:16:14.000 --> 0:16:14.600 type of ball. 0:16:14.760 --> 0:16:17.200 Well, this team is an old day I know. 0:16:17.320 --> 0:16:21.760 I'm saying your key stud players, I'm talking about offensive 0:16:21.800 --> 0:16:25.760 line wise, Uh, they're not there for one. 0:16:25.600 --> 0:16:28.840 Reason, through experience through uh. 0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:32.480 At one point, our right guard can literally hold his 0:16:32.560 --> 0:16:37.720 team together. You know, Uh, what little defense we've had. 0:16:38.680 --> 0:16:42.320 It was through the markets and he could literally you know, 0:16:42.520 --> 0:16:46.320 will these guys to play? You don't have that. And 0:16:46.360 --> 0:16:48.520 you're right, we don't have an old team per se, 0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:54.440 you know. But the guys that were depending on older gentlemen. 0:16:54.160 --> 0:16:56.640 Well and hurt, Yeah, they're not there. 0:16:57.120 --> 0:16:58.960 This is not the team you thought they were going 0:16:59.040 --> 0:17:02.920 to start the season. Yes, but my point is you 0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:06.000 don't give up at three and five. No, I don't 0:17:06.000 --> 0:17:09.200 care what what you know for whatever reason. 0:17:09.080 --> 0:17:09.720 No, you don't. 0:17:09.800 --> 0:17:12.680 You don't, you know, And that's why I say, if 0:17:12.720 --> 0:17:17.240 you're very, very competitive and and you're you're and you're 0:17:17.280 --> 0:17:20.400 really in every game, then I'm telling fans the same 0:17:20.440 --> 0:17:23.119 thing you're saying, don't give up. If there's any hope. 0:17:23.520 --> 0:17:26.880 Get out there with your cheers. Whatever you do. How 0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:29.000 whatever you do, whether you you know you drink the 0:17:29.040 --> 0:17:31.399 game away or cheer the game away or eat the 0:17:31.440 --> 0:17:33.040 game away, do what you do? 0:17:33.280 --> 0:17:33.600 All right? 0:17:33.800 --> 0:17:38.520 Uh, interesting little developing story here that I'm just following 0:17:38.720 --> 0:17:41.960 on X and it has to do Nick Sirianni's press 0:17:42.000 --> 0:17:46.240 conference talking about Jalen Hurts and an injury that Jalen 0:17:46.320 --> 0:17:49.000 Hurts may be dealing with that's not on the injury. 0:17:48.640 --> 0:17:52.400 Report right now.

Jalen Hurts QB and I are 0:21:15.080 --> 0:21:21.400 slash rest n I R stands for not injury related 0:21:21.840 --> 0:21:25.200 And as a matter of fact, it says and this 0:21:25.359 --> 0:21:34.200 is weird limited on Wednesday and full on Thursday. Interesting. 0:21:35.040 --> 0:21:39.920 So if he's resting and apparently this is the limited rest, well, apparently. 0:21:39.480 --> 0:21:42.600 This is the first time this season that Jalen Hurts 0:21:42.600 --> 0:21:45.600 has been listed on the practice report as for a 0:21:45.720 --> 0:21:49.960 rest day, which led to a reporter asking Nick Sirianni 0:21:50.000 --> 0:21:55.480 at his press conference today that we're where is this 0:21:55.680 --> 0:21:59.199 load management? That why he's taking a rest day on 0:21:59.440 --> 0:22:03.400 Wednesday or what? And so then Nick Sirianni then answers 0:22:03.400 --> 0:22:06.000 a question. We'll play that for you when we have 0:22:06.080 --> 0:22:09.760 it here in just a moment. But it seems that 0:22:09.840 --> 0:22:15.160 he's accidentally Sirianni is accidentally revealed that there's some sort 0:22:15.160 --> 0:22:17.880 of ankle injury that Jalen Hurts may be dealing with, 0:22:18.200 --> 0:22:21.800 and he backtracked after being questioned about it and said, 0:22:21.840 --> 0:22:23.600 oh no, no, it was a resteday. 0:22:24.240 --> 0:22:29.520 So and the curious thing is, normally and I just 0:22:29.920 --> 0:22:33.840 happened to know this that the injury port the NFL 0:22:34.000 --> 0:22:36.960 wants the teams to have their injury poured out by 0:22:37.560 --> 0:22:42.680 four o'clock Eastern, So three o'clock here. The last couple 0:22:42.840 --> 0:22:48.760 days it's been Eagles hasn't come out to after four o'clock, 0:22:49.160 --> 0:22:52.639 long after, long after. I got it for you, Bill, Okay, well, 0:22:52.760 --> 0:22:55.359 let's go ahead and hear what Nick Sirianni said at 0:22:55.400 --> 0:22:56.240 his press conference. 0:22:57.840 --> 0:23:00.639
