Today 0:00:47.120 --> 0:00:53.360 we preview the Cowboys offense versus the Bears defense. Cowboys 0:00:53.360 --> 0:00:56.200 offense trying to find their stride. This isn't necessarily the 0:00:56.240 --> 0:00:59.880 eighty five Bears defense, but they've got some pieces, one 0:01:00.200 --> 0:01:03.240 last piece to work with which we'll get into here 0:01:03.240 --> 0:01:06.280 in a minute as well. But we'll start things off 0:01:06.360 --> 0:01:09.640 as we always do. Patrick No, C. Walker, Isaiah stan Beck, 0:01:09.680 --> 0:01:12.320 We've got Chris Beam in the back. I'm Kyle Yeoman's.

I like to 0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:47.960 take the first segment a little longer because the listeners 0:01:47.960 --> 0:01:50.280 are just tuned in, they're locked in that first segments 0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:52.960 really hitting it. And then uh, and then we go 0:01:53.000 --> 0:01:55.240 to the second segment, make the second two a little shorter. 0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:57.680 That's kind of my doing. But uh, but yeah, we 0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:01.280 have a lot of good conversation rock with any any 0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:04.240 dressed very nicely the day. Might I add, yeah, we've 0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:06.840 got a special edition filming. You don't need you don't 0:02:06.880 --> 0:02:09.360 need to justify your flash. You don't need to justify 0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:11.679 your flas actually, just going to the gym personally, that's 0:02:11.680 --> 0:02:13.480 what you're wearing a gym.

That's what happens when you're corporate in the 0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:24.280 gym gym world. Yeah, to go buttoned up and everything. Yeah, 0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:26.640 guys are crazy man. You were on You were on 0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:31.160 Cowboys cross Stock last night with George Tew, the legendary 0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:33.760 George Tige and of course the legendary Big Nate as 0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:36.679 no one loved. It was fantastic, a ton of fun. 0:02:37.040 --> 0:02:39.079 Shouts out to Kevin Gray as well for hosting last 0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:41.360 night as he as he always does at his job. Yeah, 0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:43.959 and just a great conversation. We were talking about the 0:02:44.240 --> 0:02:48.000 Bears preview and the Bears gave some predictions, talked about, uh, 0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:50.160 you know what was going through George Teague's mind before 0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:53.400 he knocked Terrell Owens his block off for for trying 0:02:53.400 --> 0:02:55.680 to you know, disrespect the start at the at the 0:02:55.720 --> 0:02:59.119 fifty yard line. And for those some of the younger 0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:01.919 listeners in view of the show, do yourself a favor 0:03:02.080 --> 0:03:04.960 and YouTube that YouTube that so you can get some 0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:08.240 of the some of the better parts of Cowboys history appreciated. 0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:10.359 Get it all up in your veins what George Tigue 0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:13.320 was able to do and represent in the star in 0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:15.880 that game against San Francisco, that legendary game against San 0:03:15.919 --> 0:03:19.240 Francisco that went on to be Emmett Smith's you know 0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:23.120 passing of Sweetness as far as the all time NFL rushers. 0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:25.600 So a lot of great history went on in that game. 0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:28.000 George t talked about that, and again we talked about 0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:30.880 the Bears, state of the Cowboys outlook, so forth and 0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:35.200 so on. So fantastic show with Kevin Gray, the legends, 0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:38.320 George Tigue and Big Nate. And the cool thing about 0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:42.000 that is the timeliness of it too, because today October 0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:46.240 twenty seventh, correct, it's the twentieth anniversary of when Emmett 0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:50.360 Smith passed Walter Payton for the all time NFL's rushing record. 0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:53.960 Of course, the Bradsham call move over Sweetness make place 0:03:54.040 --> 0:03:57.000 for Emmett became famous in this day because of what 0:03:57.320 --> 0:04:00.000 Emmett Smith did, and a lot of people have been 0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:02.120 talking about it, at least in the press conferences, and 0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:04.520 I'm sure there will be stories on every media outlet today. 0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:07.560 There'll probably be an Instagram post and Twitter post about it, 0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:10.560 just because it's the twentieth anniversary of when twenty two 0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:14.800 became number one. But with that being said, is that 0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:17.520 something that will ever be surpassed? You think? Do you 0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:21.080 think that's something that could be caught one hundred and 0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:25.520 sixty four touchdowns, not to mention the amount of yards 0:04:25.560 --> 0:04:28.120 that he put up as well. I mean, it's pretty unbelievable, 0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:30.920 Mike McCarthy said, at least in the way the things 0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:33.880 are built now, and and of course with the the 0:04:34.000 --> 0:04:36.600 new importance put on player safety, he doesn't see it happening, 0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:39.960 especially with the way the running backs are used now. Now. Yeah, 0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:41.919 I don't know what Matt happened in the next decade, 0:04:41.960 --> 0:04:45.680 but yeah, this this style of play that's currently going 0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:47.240 on in the NFL right now, to just throw it 0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:50.159 around type era that we're in, I don't see it 0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:52.320 happening for sure, but that may change, you know, maybe 0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:54.279 there's the next generation comes in and they want to 0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:57.480 go back to the wing t. I don't know, but 0:04:57.680 --> 0:04:59.640 we spoke about it a couple of weeks ago. Everything 0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:03.440 is clical, so i'd say never say never. You know 0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:07.120 what it would take to achieve that, obviously would be monumental. 0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:09.640 You'd have to get a generational talent with a generational 0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:11.920 front and you know, offensive line in front of them 0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:15.920 and an elite quarterback behind them that keeps supposing defenses 0:05:15.920 --> 0:05:17.520 from being able to stack the box. And you got 0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:19.440 to have the perfect storm, and that's basically what it 0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:21.720 was for the Cowboys offense back in the day. It 0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:24.440 was the perfect storm. It was a generational arm in 0:05:24.560 --> 0:05:29.760 Troy Acron, a generational legs, and durability in Emma Smith, 0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:33.919 which again durability being a keyword there, you're not wrong. 0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:36.400 And then you're talking about a generational offensive line. So 0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:39.400 can it happen again, Yes, never say never, but it 0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:42.479 would have to be in the point of the cycle, 0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:45.040 and that might not be for another ten, twenty thirty years. 0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:46.760 We see how it goes. It has to come back 0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:49.320 to run first, but we're kind of slowly getting there. 0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:52.160 We talked about the defenses are starting to shut down 0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:56.600 that pass all over the field type offense, so they're 0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:59.159 becoming fewer and far in between. So never say never, 0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:02.159 but until it happens, the King lives in Dallas. We'll 0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:06.040 talk about fourteen NFL seasons. Eight of them were Pro Bowls, 0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:08.760 four first team All Pro, two second team All Pro, 0:06:09.560 --> 0:06:12.120 four time rushing leader. He did it four times. He 0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:15.719 did it with the span of five seasons. That's unbelievable. 0:06:15.760 --> 0:06:19.920 I mean the numbers. Growing up, Immett was was an idol. 0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:24.360 Everybody that liked the Cowboys. Emmett was the dude, and 0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:27.440 just when you go back and look at how incredibly 0:06:27.520 --> 0:06:31.680 durable and how incredibly talented he was, it really is impressive. 0:06:31.800 --> 0:06:35.360 Eighteen thousand, three hundred and fifty five yards is his 0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:39.080 ending total and that stands above anybody all time in 0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:41.400 the NFL. So one of the at least touch that 0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:44.560 since it is the twentieth anniversary today. But Patrick, what's 0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:46.520 some news and notes? What's going on with the Cowboys 0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:52.960 talking about durability and Ezekie, I'm sorry, um, Emmett Smith 0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:55.680 south of Emma Smith with it, you know, playing through 0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:57.640 the shoulder issues. We're going to use that to segway 0:06:57.760 --> 0:07:01.920 right into the injury report. WWRD what would Rob do? Um? 0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:04.280 And we had? What first? Let's leave with Zeke. That's 0:07:04.279 --> 0:07:07.800 why I got my running backs mixed up there. Ezekiel Elliott, 0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:10.880 as expected, did not practice on Wednesday. And I say 0:07:10.920 --> 0:07:13.280 as expected because Mike McCarthy already gave the heads up 0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:16.080 on that and yesterday's press conference saying that he was 0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:18.400 going to be exclusively working with Britt Brown and the 0:07:18.680 --> 0:07:21.600 rehab group working on that knee, and the Cowboys and 0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:25.480 Mike McCarthy labeled it a nice sprain. Ezekiel Elliott himself 0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:29.040 after the game labeled a knee contusion. Uh, let's just 0:07:29.080 --> 0:07:32.480 call it a nice sprain with possibly a thigh bruise 0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:34.840 or a knee bruise. The way that Detroit was tackling, 0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:39.880 I would believe that they were going low fly and 0:07:39.920 --> 0:07:41.800 they paid for because he came back in the game 0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:45.040 and he humiliated a human being. The next human being 0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:47.440 who went at his legs, he protected us. He's now 0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:50.960 a poster so Ezekiel Elliott not unexpected. We'll see if 0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:53.760 he practices at all this week. He did make it 0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:55.960 clear that will not make it clear, but he did 0:07:55.960 --> 0:07:58.080 intimate that it would be a late week decision. It'll 0:07:58.120 --> 0:08:01.640 be a group decision between Zeke, the coaching staff, and 0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:03.960 the medical staff, but we won't probably won't know his 0:08:04.000 --> 0:08:07.000 game status until later this week. He did state that 0:08:07.080 --> 0:08:09.320 he did not have to practice to play, though, and 0:08:09.400 --> 0:08:11.840 I believe that similar to Michael Parsons when Michael was 0:08:11.840 --> 0:08:13.680 dealing with a growing injury and I said, hey, I'd 0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:16.000 like to see DMP D and p DMP because he's 0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:17.440 able to go out there and get the job done. 0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:19.320 So keep an eye on Zeke. We had a couple 0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:23.960 of surprises though. Noah Brown did not participate on Wednesday 0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:28.840 with a foot injury that seemingly happened at some point 0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:31.480 in the game, I would say, because there's been no 0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:35.520 practice between Sunday and yesterday, so something to keep an 0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:37.800 eye on there. Another one who did not practice that 0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:41.240 was unexpected is safety Malik Hooker. That's also a key 0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:45.200 player because he's the green dot guy for Dan Quinn 0:08:45.200 --> 0:08:47.720 and helping to communicate the defensive play calls to the 0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:51.400 unit on the field. So Noah Brown, Malik Hooker, keep 0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:54.079 an eye on those going forward, key players on both 0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:57.800 sides of the ball. Dalton Shows was limited, Terrence Steele 0:08:58.120 --> 0:08:59.760 a little bit of a question mark. He was limited, 0:08:59.760 --> 0:09:01.760 but looked like there's too much concern with either of 0:09:01.800 --> 0:09:05.120 those shows obviously still battling that pcos poring. Yeah, and 0:09:05.360 --> 0:09:08.280 you look at Malie Cooker only had thirty snaps. He 0:09:08.360 --> 0:09:10.080 was kind of limited to the back half of the 0:09:10.080 --> 0:09:12.400 game and there was a lot of different packages where 0:09:12.400 --> 0:09:16.520 he was unavailable and they kind of switched out a thought. 0:09:16.679 --> 0:09:19.520 So there were a couple times where Donovan Wilson would 0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:21.720 fill in and he would go back as the free 0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:23.800 and then kurtse could come in and still play that 0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:26.559 box safety. So that's the benefit of having three guys 0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:29.720 there that whenever Hooker's out, they have some at least 0:09:29.720 --> 0:09:32.120 mixing and matching that they could do. But I want 0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:34.320 to go back to the offensive side since today, of course, 0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:37.280 on every Thursday, we talk about the Cowboys offensive matchup 0:09:37.559 --> 0:09:39.920 with their opponent's defense, and the Bears are, of course 0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:43.760 that opponent coming up on Sunday. How much can Tony 0:09:43.880 --> 0:09:49.320 Pollard handle by himself? How much is your convert Where 0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:51.480 is your confidence level with Tony Pollard and how he 0:09:51.520 --> 0:09:55.000 could handle a workload if Ezekiel Elliot's not available to 0:09:55.040 --> 0:09:58.880 go because there's conflicting reports at the moment, Zeke and 0:09:58.920 --> 0:10:02.440 the coaching staffs don't worry. A lot of people around 0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:04.800 the staff and at least around the media are saying 0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:07.520 he's not expected to play. But where would your confidence 0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:11.040 lie on Pollard? I have confidence that he can carry 0:10:11.080 --> 0:10:12.559 himself through a game. I just don't want to put 0:10:12.559 --> 0:10:15.000 that pressure on him. I don't want to physically beat 0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:19.920 down Tony Pollard is kid, but can he handle it? Absolutely? 0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:21.960 I worry more about TP when it comes to the 0:10:22.040 --> 0:10:24.839 passing to the past blocking and his ability to be 0:10:24.840 --> 0:10:26.880 able to sit back there and take online backers and 0:10:27.480 --> 0:10:30.160 you know, occasionally defensive ends. But in terms of his 0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:32.040 ability to run the ball and tote the thing, especially 0:10:32.080 --> 0:10:35.200 against his Bears front, I don't see a problem with him. 0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:36.720 I mean, the Bears at the bottom of the league 0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:39.600 in terms of their ability to stop the run. They've 0:10:39.600 --> 0:10:42.320 given up the most yards and tied for most yards 0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:44.080 in the league and if you get up the most touchdown. 0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:45.839 So I think if there's ever a game in which 0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:48.320 TP can handle, it will be against against these guys. Well, 0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:51.560 Tony said, if they call it, I can haul it. 0:10:51.800 --> 0:10:55.200 Oh okay. So he sounds like he's ready. He's ready 0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:57.760 for almost a full workload. And obviously the Cowboys would 0:10:57.960 --> 0:11:01.480 spell him with Malite Davis, who they likely elevate from 0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:04.040 the practice squad. They have two more elevations I believe, 0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:06.760 at least one on Leak Davis, so it wouldn't be 0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:09.960 a one workload for Tony Pollard. But it does sound 0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:12.160 like he's completely ready and up to the task. I 0:11:12.200 --> 0:11:15.960 would say this, go ahead and unleash them if you 0:11:16.000 --> 0:11:18.240 need to. If Zeke doesn't play for whatever reason, or 0:11:18.280 --> 0:11:20.000 not for whatever reason. But if he doesn't play because 0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:22.440 of the neat issue, uh, you have the bye week 0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:26.280 coming up, you know, so use Tony Pollard to really 0:11:26.320 --> 0:11:28.360 do some damage in that run game, because you got 0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:30.559 you got two weeks after that for him to rest 0:11:30.600 --> 0:11:32.600 and kind of recover, get in the ice bath a 0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:36.880 few times. This is really similar to last year. Last 0:11:36.960 --> 0:11:39.559 year when Zeke sustained the PCL was a week before 0:11:39.840 --> 0:11:42.840 the bye week, right, or it was a little bit earlier, 0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:45.200 but they could have utilized the bye week as like 0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:47.360 an extra as an extra week to get As soon 0:11:47.400 --> 0:11:49.240 as he said that, I thought about the same thing 0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:52.720 because we had this conversation last year about Zeke and 0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:54.960 they didn't do it. They played him, they let him go, 0:11:55.000 --> 0:11:56.599 and they camped the rest of the year and he 0:11:56.679 --> 0:12:00.480 didn't healthy. And those who do not learned from the 0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:03.520 past to repeated the type thing. So this would in 0:12:03.520 --> 0:12:07.319 fact be a good week to rest Zeke and let 0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:09.480 that knee kind of heal up and feel better because 0:12:09.520 --> 0:12:12.240 you got Aaron Rodgers and Green Bay at Lambo on 0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:15.880 the other side of this bye week. Tony Pollard, Mallie Davis. 0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:17.640 I believe that they can get the job done against 0:12:17.640 --> 0:12:20.040 the Chicago Bears run defense. Now, as a whole, the 0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:24.440 Chicago Bears defense is not as bad as right as 0:12:24.480 --> 0:12:27.560 the Lions or as you would like to believe. It's 0:12:27.559 --> 0:12:30.960 the run defense that's really bad. Their past defense not 0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:33.800 so bad. So that's something to keep an eye on. 0:12:33.880 --> 0:12:37.040 But yeah, if if I'm kelling Moore and Mike McCarthy, 0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:39.680 if Zeke can't go, yeah, I'm just letting the route 0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:41.800 with Tony Pollard and then you spelling Malie Davis says. 0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:43.840 And it's a little easier to run against that defense 0:12:43.880 --> 0:12:47.400 now too. Why is that because Robert Quinn is no 0:12:47.559 --> 0:12:51.240 longer in Chicago? What happened to Quinn? Where did he? Well? 0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:55.320 See what happened was Howie Roseman on Tuesday didn't take 0:12:55.640 --> 0:12:58.920 a liking to the Cowboys trading for Jonathan Hankin, so 0:12:58.960 --> 0:13:01.720 he said, okay, up yet, I'll go ahead and get 0:13:01.800 --> 0:13:04.760 Robert Quinn. And you know the Eagles acquired Robert Quinn 0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:07.200 on And where where is Howie Roseman? Where is he 0:13:07.280 --> 0:13:12.280 the general manager Philadelphia? Oh, that's right, the Eagles. Yeah, 0:13:12.320 --> 0:13:15.040 those goes. So they go and get an edge rusher. 0:13:15.080 --> 0:13:17.000 The Eagles do they trade a fourth round pick to 0:13:17.040 --> 0:13:20.360 go get Robert Quinn. Robert Quinn, who this year has 0:13:20.400 --> 0:13:23.760 been underwhelming to a certain extent. There's a bit of 0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:26.439 a change of guard in terms of the defensive system 0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:29.520 in Chicago. Hasn't been utilized the same way as he 0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:32.320 was last year. How did he do last year? He 0:13:32.360 --> 0:13:34.960 had eighteen and a half sat in the ball in 0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:39.160 in the twenty twenty one campaign. Yeah, so this year 0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:42.920 he only has one, but he's played. Okay, systems matter. 0:13:43.200 --> 0:13:48.520 Systems matter, they absolutely do. And Dallas drew draw two. 0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:53.240 They were like draw four and they stacked it. Yeah. Yeah, 0:13:53.320 --> 0:13:55.640 So Robert Quinn, he's got a It's kind of a 0:13:55.720 --> 0:13:59.560 volletole trade because it could either turn into Chicago twenty 0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:03.000 twenty two Robert Quinn, or he could turn into Chicago 0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:06.000 twenty twenty one Robert Quinn hope, which hopefully it's the 0:14:06.040 --> 0:14:08.160 first one that's hopefully it's the one that he showed 0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:11.200 this year. What's a similar situation for him in that 0:14:11.559 --> 0:14:16.440 because of the prowess of the youth, you know, Fletcher notwithstanding, 0:14:16.559 --> 0:14:19.080 but he's still stout. Because of the depth and the 0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:21.800 ability and the talent they have across the defensive line 0:14:22.080 --> 0:14:24.520 for the Philadelphia Eagles. It's similar to Jonathan Hankins coming 0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:27.120 into Dallas and that they're not going to ask Robert 0:14:27.160 --> 0:14:29.360 Quinn to be a three down guy. They're going to 0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:31.360 ask him to go in there primarily for a pass 0:14:31.440 --> 0:14:34.400 rush for third downs and penning his ears bag and that's, 0:14:34.680 --> 0:14:37.400 you know, theoretically should make him more effective because he'd 0:14:37.400 --> 0:14:39.400 be more rested and more refreshed, kind of like what 0:14:39.400 --> 0:14:41.800 we're expecting to see from Jonathan Hankins. That's a really 0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:43.840 good point because a lot of people are looking at 0:14:43.880 --> 0:14:45.760 Philly and it's like, Wow, all of their guys are 0:14:45.800 --> 0:14:48.760 on the interior with Brandy Graham, Fletcher Cox, Jordan Davis. 0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:51.280 They've got those guys up front, but on the edge, 0:14:51.280 --> 0:14:54.160 they've got two healthy edge rushers right now, they're pretty 0:14:54.160 --> 0:14:56.840 thin on the edge, where you could also say something 0:14:56.960 --> 0:14:59.920 very similar to the Cowboys. Wow, they've got DeMarcus Lawrence 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:02.840 and Doran's Armstrong and of course that Michael Parson's cat 0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:05.040 that comes off the second level two. I mean, they've 0:15:05.040 --> 0:15:09.000 got guys on the edge, but they're light on the inside, 0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:12.400 A little light for size wise, Yeah, for size wise, 0:15:12.400 --> 0:15:15.360 there there light on the inside. Pass rush Osakis Neville 0:15:15.360 --> 0:15:18.240 Gallimar Tristan Hill doesn't matter. But in terms of stopping 0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:21.400 the run, it's Quentin Bohannah and hopefully Osa kind of 0:15:21.400 --> 0:15:23.920 shows up. So now you've got Jonathan Hankins into that 0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:26.120 fold too, So it is you're right, it's very similar. 0:15:26.680 --> 0:15:29.080 But I mean, a higher quality player for a higher 0:15:29.080 --> 0:15:32.480 price is what Philly paid for. Then Cowboys getting a 0:15:32.480 --> 0:15:35.840 thirty year old defensive tackle for pretty much next to nothing. Yeah, 0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:39.080 and so the Cowboys won't see Robert Quinn helping out 0:15:39.080 --> 0:15:42.600 the Chicago Bears. But add another storyline to the Cowboys 0:15:42.680 --> 0:15:45.240 versus the Eagles on December twenty fourth, as if there 0:15:45.320 --> 0:15:47.760 was a shortage of storylines going into that game, add 0:15:47.800 --> 0:15:50.480 another one, Yeah, the one? Why not? Why not? All right, 0:15:50.880 --> 0:15:53.280 We've got a special guest on the line and we're 0:15:53.320 --> 0:15:55.160 gonna get to them on the other side of the break. 0:15:55.200 --> 0:15:57.280 You know them, you love them.

We've got Anthony Spice Adams on the line. 0:19:03.080 --> 0:19:05.840 You know him, you love him, the former Chicago Bear, 0:19:05.920 --> 0:19:10.880 former NFL standout, but also now just internet mogul. I mean, 0:19:10.920 --> 0:19:13.359 he is all over the place, and we'll talk plenty 0:19:13.359 --> 0:19:15.600 about that in a moment. But Spice, how's it going. 0:19:15.640 --> 0:19:20.639 Welcome to Talking Cowboys and I can't complain. Man slow 0:19:20.680 --> 0:19:25.240 motion better than no most. Now, Isaiah, you and Spice 0:19:25.320 --> 0:19:27.520 know each other from where we went to grad school together. 0:19:27.680 --> 0:19:30.159 So following following our time in the league, you know, 0:19:30.520 --> 0:19:32.480 we were in separate places. I was all over the 0:19:32.520 --> 0:19:34.760 dog on league, seemingly at every team. He was out 0:19:34.760 --> 0:19:37.040 there with Chicago and the forty nine ers, and we 0:19:37.080 --> 0:19:38.720 went to grad school trying to figure out what the 0:19:38.760 --> 0:19:40.560 heck we're gonna do with the next phase of our life. 0:19:40.840 --> 0:19:42.919 And that's that's how we linked up. We went to 0:19:42.920 --> 0:19:45.639 George Washington University. You got our NBA together, and that 0:19:45.760 --> 0:19:48.760 was really the time where social media was really kind 0:19:48.760 --> 0:19:50.880 of starting to take off. And we used to clown 0:19:50.920 --> 0:19:53.120 around on the bus all the time together and here 0:19:53.200 --> 0:19:55.200 this dude go start making videos left and right, and 0:19:55.359 --> 0:19:58.679 he just blows up. It's kind of is that a 0:19:58.680 --> 0:20:01.560 true story? What kind of what kind of student was 0:20:01.600 --> 0:20:09.119 Isaiah in grad school? Oh? Uh, didn't get his work done, 0:20:10.680 --> 0:20:13.080 you know, try to copy off people, kind of kind 0:20:13.080 --> 0:20:14.840 of like the same thing he's doing now, you know, 0:20:14.880 --> 0:20:19.400 if you got some notes around Isaiah's Like yeah, so 0:20:19.720 --> 0:20:26.879 like I said about Emmitt Smith, I mean, uh, Ezekiel Elliott, 0:20:26.920 --> 0:20:29.600 like I said, you know, he may be healthy, he 0:20:29.680 --> 0:20:34.000 may not be you know, I don't know. It's not 0:20:34.040 --> 0:20:36.480 on my notes, but I'm looking off of Patrick's notes 0:20:36.760 --> 0:20:38.760 at this point. This is something that I need to 0:20:38.800 --> 0:20:42.560 talk about. He writes your name there instead of his. 0:20:43.400 --> 0:20:47.680 Oh that's awesome. So Spice Adams.

He's got two 0:20:53.600 --> 0:20:57.720
