Speaker 1: He's paying attention today. I am always good when your
Speaker 1: producer pays attention to what's going on. I don't know
Speaker 1: if it's interesting. I do pay attention, which is not often.
Speaker 1: And when Nati is speaking or kurtis speaking. Thanks you
Speaker 1: guys get a chance go check out the break This morning.
Speaker 1: We had a little fun with It was gonna be
Speaker 1: fun with ambar And and Dave Hellman, but it turned
Speaker 1: into just being fun with Dave Hellman. Yeah, Ambar stone
Speaker 1: Cold there was. Yeah, we played a practical joke on them,
Speaker 1: and I hid underneath the cabin in this table right here.
Speaker 1: The crappy part is their show's supposed to start it
Speaker 1: um nine thirty and they amber ran into traffic and
Speaker 1: they were running five minutes late. So I wound up
Speaker 1: laying down in the middle of this desk for about
Speaker 1: twenty minutes this morning. Did you go to the trainer
Speaker 1: for some back massage? And I needed to, so then
Speaker 1: I put a mask on and I popped up right
Speaker 1: here in between Derek and Nick and Dave almost fell
Speaker 1: out of his chair and dropped it almost dropped an
Speaker 1: If you get a chance, go watch that show this morning.
Speaker 1: It's actually pretty funny. It looked like that was the
Speaker 1: mask that Michael J. Fox War and teen Wolf. Yes,
Speaker 1: it did go to the Cowboys break Twitter page. I've
Speaker 1: got a nice yeah, and Kurt, You've got something pulled up.
Speaker 1: Is it a coincidence that we had Tyrone Crawford on
Speaker 1: the show last week? Obviously not? And what happened to
Speaker 1: him this Not only did he get to ride bikes
Speaker 1: with me yesterday, which, by the way, my lower parts
Speaker 1: are really really hurting today from riding on that seat,
Speaker 1: Warrior Tommy, I don't think that would have helped. That
Speaker 1: had nothing to do with support. It's from me not
Speaker 1: having much meat on my bottom side. What you got
Speaker 1: over there? What happened to Tyrone today? Tyrone? Was? I
Speaker 1: think actually yesterday he was named the Special Teams Player
Speaker 1: of the Week, his first career Player of the Week
Speaker 1: award and the first defensive lineman in Cowboys Treat to
Speaker 1: win the Special Teams Player of the Week awards. That's
Speaker 1: pretty impressive. That is, he had the block in that game.
Speaker 1: I guess that was turned the tide and was enough
Speaker 1: to get him the honors. Pretty pretty cool deal. Congratulations Tyrone.
Speaker 1: It needs to be your selling point when talking to
Speaker 1: guys to get him on the air. Here. You say, hey,
Speaker 1: we're yep, we're good luck. We are the good luck charm.
Speaker 1: By the way, we'll have Jeff Swain will be on
Speaker 1: with us tomorrow, Jeff Swain, the friend of the show. Yeah,
Speaker 1: got him a catch this week, so I was like, well,
Speaker 1: let's go talk about your catch, since that doesn't happen
Speaker 1: very often. Get him on here? Was that the way
Speaker 1: you sold it not exactly. We'll keep that between just
Speaker 1: us guys. Nate, were you ever named Special Teams Player
Speaker 1: of the Week in your career? Nah? I man, I
Speaker 1: have another name special nothing. You know, I got a
Speaker 1: Snickers endorsement. I bet h well, I eat a lot
Speaker 1: of those. But anyway, I need to know the Snickers
Speaker 1: story that Douglas brought up. It's it involves Sean Madden,
Speaker 1: like leave Green team. Man. They gotta changing the subject,
Speaker 1: all right, one day, we're gonna put that on the
Speaker 1: back burner. Yeah, where do we want to get started today? Nate?
Speaker 1: You'll talk about a little Cowboys offense? Yeah, look, Cowboys offense? Man.
Speaker 1: You know as we know. And this is the question
Speaker 1: I have. You know what of y'all want to take
Speaker 1: some calls on this? This is what I can't understand
Speaker 1: because logic won't won't push it ahead. And for me,
Speaker 1: you have a guy that seven weeks inactive and McFadden
Speaker 1: and I said, well, they're keeping him because they want insurance,
Speaker 1: you know, just in case I'm having to Zeke to
Speaker 1: come in and be the backup to whoever was second
Speaker 1: to Zeke right now. But I just can't believe that
Speaker 1: McFadden just comes in and start a lot of people
Speaker 1: think he's coming in and starting, and he has had
Speaker 1: no reps, live reps this year, and he's just gonna
Speaker 1: automatically go ahead of Smith and Maris. I mean, so,
Speaker 1: now before we get started versus Kansas City Defense, how
Speaker 1: do y'all think about it? Give me y'all thoughts on that.
Speaker 1: I'm with you, man. Everything that we saw in training
Speaker 1: camp points one way, and then everything after the season
Speaker 1: started points a completely opposite way. And I don't I
Speaker 1: don't you know it. We saw it took Ze two
Speaker 1: or three weeks to get in a get in a rhythm,
Speaker 1: and he you know, hell, he's number one guy. And
Speaker 1: then now you got this guy that's been sitting on
Speaker 1: the bench. Um, I'd be interested to see what happened
Speaker 1: in practice today who was taking reps with the number ones?
Speaker 1: And see if you can find that on one of
Speaker 1: our writers twitters there. I know Smith got some reps
Speaker 1: at number one? Did he today? Yeah? So, but a Kurt,
Speaker 1: I would like to hear your theory. Well, best guess.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think they're I don't know if he'll
Speaker 1: be the starter, but I think they're going to use
Speaker 1: him a lot, And Garrett said in his press car today,
Speaker 1: they're gonna they're gonna you basically said, they're gonna have
Speaker 1: a running back by committee. They're gonna all get carries
Speaker 1: and they're all gonna share the load. Now, I think
Speaker 1: once somebody maybe gets hot and they figure out who's
Speaker 1: doing well though, they'll kind of ride that guy. But
Speaker 1: I don't think fans gonna play How can you give
Speaker 1: him equal reps when he has it taken He hasn't
Speaker 1: even been active, but he's he's been in the league
Speaker 1: a long time. He knows what's what's what to do.
Speaker 1: But why not have him in there instead of Rod Smith?
Speaker 1: If that's the case, if you trust him enough to
Speaker 1: come in and special teams, special teams. I think Rod
Speaker 1: does special teams. And I think um Morris has been
Speaker 1: a good change up back. I don't know, can can
Speaker 1: he carry the load? Ken Morris carry the ball twenty
Speaker 1: I think McFadden has been kept as insurance against injury. Well,
Speaker 1: no doubt, no doubt, But I mean I think, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think Morris is going to be the guy. There's
Speaker 1: no doubt there. But but how can you if you
Speaker 1: expect him to come right in and be get split carries. Now,
Speaker 1: I don't think that'll happen if you're split and carry
Speaker 1: as you you go from zero to reps to fifteen
Speaker 1: twenty carries a game maybe seven, eight, ten, That's what
Speaker 1: I'm thinking. It's a minimal role. At least get Mars
Speaker 1: get fifteen yeah, ten, Smith gets another because I believe, yeah,
Speaker 1: until if one of these guys break off something earlier,
Speaker 1: makes somethinghow early? Uh, that warrants that. Okay, man, we better,
Speaker 1: we better feed this guy and see where it's going.
Speaker 1: It's just things Dak, These things about Dak right about now? Yeah?
Speaker 1: You know, do you think? Yeah? You tell me that
Speaker 1: Morris and mcfaddener have different styles of running. Is the
Speaker 1: blocking different? Is it set up different? No? No, isn't
Speaker 1: Morris pretty comfortable with the blocking scheme. I thought that
Speaker 1: was one of the reasons they liked him when they
Speaker 1: brought him in originally, like last year, he was a
Speaker 1: better fit for how they do things. I just said,
Speaker 1: we like here, I got a block, h block. I
Speaker 1: mean it ain't know, it ain't. I can't get fancy
Speaker 1: with blocking. You get fansy with blocking. Now you got
Speaker 1: people getting hit in the backfield, get people getting through
Speaker 1: on the back its quarterback. I have to block high blocking,
Speaker 1: we have to block all in concert, you know, all
Speaker 1: everybody got to be in the same wave. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I didn't know if because if Morris maybe a little
Speaker 1: shift here, they may call a little different plays, may
Speaker 1: call different plays that fits a certain running back a
Speaker 1: certain way. But just trying to change up how you
Speaker 1: do things. You can't do that, you know, no matter
Speaker 1: who's in there. Year. Yeah, yeah, well, I mean McFadden was.
Speaker 1: He was an older back when he played, you know,
Speaker 1: two seasons ago, and say that now he's two years older.
Speaker 1: He was getting caught from behind too. I know he
Speaker 1: got a thousand yards, but to me, it was one
Speaker 1: of the least impressive thousand and yards I've ever seen
Speaker 1: he you know, I think Morris just has he's younger,
Speaker 1: he's got more of his original stuff, and McFadden's just insurance.
Speaker 1: I mean, he'll get rotated in. And I think I
Speaker 1: said the other day he led the NFC and yards.
Speaker 1: I think he was like fourth or something. I'm misspoke
Speaker 1: two years ago. McFadden, Yeah, he was fourth in the NFL.
Speaker 1: I think, Yeah, it was Statistically it seemed good. But
Speaker 1: I mean, you know we can we can ride all
Speaker 1: day on two years ago. Just thanks for happen Sunday Sunday. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's gonna happened sun and so you can ride off
Speaker 1: into the sunset. You know, you know what you're talking
Speaker 1: about right about now? Man is uh you know old
Speaker 1: Western movie we see it got ride off into the sunset.
Speaker 1: It's been never to be seen again. What's kind of
Speaker 1: got to play Sunday. McFadden got to play Sunday, So
Speaker 1: we'll find out what he got. Yeah, it's gonna be
Speaker 1: if anything, it's gonna be in interesting I think to
Speaker 1: see how this plays out the next for three to
Speaker 1: four weeks. You know. Grett was real adamant in his
Speaker 1: press conference today about it's you don't change anything. It's
Speaker 1: just like if a guy was injured. With Zeke being out,
Speaker 1: it's just the next man up. You control what He's
Speaker 1: repeated it over and over again. You control what you
Speaker 1: can control, and you just he said, they didn't really
Speaker 1: even address it with the team about Zeke being out
Speaker 1: and how they're gonna do difference. They just he said,
Speaker 1: everybody knows, do your job. Do your job. He said
Speaker 1: that several times too. Everybody knows they got a job
Speaker 1: to do, they gotta do it. And Nate, you talked
Speaker 1: about this when we were in camp, when we didn't
Speaker 1: know if Zeke was gonna play at the beginning of
Speaker 1: the season. You seem to think there's gonna be You're
Speaker 1: gonna it will be a noticeable difference. Well, the difference is,
Speaker 1: like we all talked about going to the house, you know,
Speaker 1: taking the thing six to seventy eighty yards like he
Speaker 1: did a seventy two yards pass play. That's that's that's
Speaker 1: what you that's what you know, that's what you feel. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know he's a better inside runner than than uh,
Speaker 1: than both these guys, all three these guys, you know,
Speaker 1: third and one we don't fear it. You know, fourth
Speaker 1: and one or fourth and a half, we don't fear it.
Speaker 1: You know. We know Zeke, if he getting the ball,
Speaker 1: it's better, you know, better than Setner cent chance that
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a first down. So head Yeah, so Zeke,
Speaker 1: Zeke just different. You know. Now, who's to say all
Speaker 1: three guys don't give us an equal to Zeke because
Speaker 1: they all bring something three different to the table. But uh,
Speaker 1: because you know, we ain't seen it. We ain't seen it.
Speaker 1: Can Rod Smith get out and opening field and see
Speaker 1: what he can do? See he is, he got some
Speaker 1: burst to it, you know, so Zeke and Zeke though,
Speaker 1: that's when you took him in the fourth the fourth pick,
Speaker 1: you know, in the first round, because you felt that
Speaker 1: he had that ability. Tune in Sunday three thirty on CBS,
Speaker 1: speaking of guess who comes back to AT and T
Speaker 1: Stadium for the first time. Tony Romo. We'll be back
Speaker 1: calling the game on Sunday. We think about that, Nate.
Speaker 1: That's a nice thing, man, That's a great thing to have.
Speaker 1: And if one of your own come back in and
Speaker 1: and if you're at the at the game, you'll be
Speaker 1: able to see. I think they've got a something special
Speaker 1: plan for mister Romo. I think we'll probably put some
Speaker 1: of that out on social media in case you're not
Speaker 1: at the game. So he was looking forward to you know,
Speaker 1: they do pregame meetings and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: He'll be in here what Friday, Yeah, yeah, so he was.
Speaker 1: Jarrett said he was looking forward to it. That'll be
Speaker 1: interesting him him actually on the other side of the
Speaker 1: table interviewing players and coaches and things like that, and
Speaker 1: then it's also our what military appreciation game this week? Kurt, Yes,
Speaker 1: it is. I think they got some cool stuff around
Speaker 1: that for end game as well, so that should be fun.
Speaker 1: So what do you think the offensive chances are moving
Speaker 1: this ball? From what you've seen the last few weeks.
Speaker 1: From easily you can sit. He gives up hundred and
Speaker 1: uh one hundred and thirty one yards on the ground
Speaker 1: on the ground and passing, they give up two hundred
Speaker 1: and six two. Where they beat beat you the baddest
Speaker 1: the words ask for the cuss. But where they beat
Speaker 1: you at its turnovers and sacks. They have eighteen sacks
Speaker 1: as a team total. You gotta be weary of Justin Houston.
Speaker 1: He's got seven point five. I thought he had more
Speaker 1: than that going to get it because I think he
Speaker 1: had six in the game. So I don't know if
Speaker 1: the game two sacks and not in the game against
Speaker 1: against Denver and they got eight turnovers for uh interceptions.
Speaker 1: I don't know how many fumbles they recover, but it's five. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So they they get turnovers, they get sacks and that
Speaker 1: and that because they give up thirty nine point six
Speaker 1: on downs. So it's like they'll give up yardist, but
Speaker 1: they keep you out of the end zone. There's twenty
Speaker 1: two point five. They ranked them the nineteenth in the league.
Speaker 1: They ain't letting you in that end zone. But so
Speaker 1: many times, you know, with six points. So here we go,
Speaker 1: I mean we can can can we keep up? Can
Speaker 1: we score with we will? We let it come down
Speaker 1: to us with the ball or then with the ball
Speaker 1: last drive of the field goal. I hope not. I
Speaker 1: hope we can outscore. Yeah. He mentioned that the defenses
Speaker 1: got a lot of speed to it. You see that.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh yeah, they can run now. They broke
Speaker 1: out a couple of times and winning got Denver guys.
Speaker 1: I mean, they'll get to the ball, but it's just
Speaker 1: that an issue point of attack. It seemed like they'll
Speaker 1: give it up, you know, but they got the speed
Speaker 1: to go get your running, get you they got. They
Speaker 1: got a good cover corner and Peterson Marcus Peterson, he uh,
Speaker 1: you're good good cover corner. He plays on our right side.
Speaker 1: He wants shadow Daz. He'll stick to his son. He'll
Speaker 1: stick this side. Yeah, they say they can scheme their
Speaker 1: defense better by just letting him stay at one side.
Speaker 1: Here's one thing that for those of you playing along
Speaker 1: at home, when we break these matchups down, listen to
Speaker 1: the names that Nate says out loud, because Nate's not
Speaker 1: gonna get into a lot of the x's and o's
Speaker 1: and stuff, but he's gonna drop these names. And I
Speaker 1: have noticed every game this year, when we talk about
Speaker 1: a guy on the show, Yeah, whether it's offense or
Speaker 1: defense on the other team, that guy is right in
Speaker 1: the middle of everything or makes a key playing the game.
Speaker 1: So when Nate drops the names, put them in your
Speaker 1: little notes in your phone or make a little mental
Speaker 1: note to write them down or whatever, and watch. It's
Speaker 1: almost like Nate is telling you, Yeah, this dude is
Speaker 1: gonna make something happen in the game. Yeah if we
Speaker 1: if we're only losing it, and definitely these guys will
Speaker 1: make sense. But a lot of stuff, you know. One
Speaker 1: thing about me is I'm the type of guy and
Speaker 1: you've guys heard me say this a lot. I believe
Speaker 1: that information. As long as you over aliable source. I
Speaker 1: can go to Kirk call him a certain thing. I
Speaker 1: go to you for certain things. I go to Broadest
Speaker 1: for certain things. And Darren Johnson is another one of
Speaker 1: my sources. We do a show every Wednesday morning, you know,
Speaker 1: prep for a shot and tape a show every Wednesday morning.
Speaker 1: And he see things and he talked to people, you know,
Speaker 1: and you can't a lot of things I give him.
Speaker 1: I can't go in depth, but he said, man, watch
Speaker 1: this guy. Yeah, and so I'll be like, okay, cool
Speaker 1: and so reliable sources. Man, I you know, I don't
Speaker 1: like to just hollow out something and don't don't get
Speaker 1: the people what they need. But Chris Jones is another guy.
Speaker 1: Loved people. In the end, he got three sacks. These
Speaker 1: guys that can make a different The reason I say,
Speaker 1: Marcus Peter, excuse it, not market people, but Houston is
Speaker 1: he plays over the right tackle. I right tackles. Yeah,
Speaker 1: our right tackle struggle last week. So here we go.
Speaker 1: We cannot where where where this team is good is
Speaker 1: last week we would have been in trouble because the
Speaker 1: penalties they would have took advantage of us early in
Speaker 1: the game. But the penalties they would took advantage of
Speaker 1: that they would they would have been Houston and all
Speaker 1: of these guys would have been pressing us. So we
Speaker 1: can't go out and have that type of game this week.
Speaker 1: We can't go out and have the holdings. We can't
Speaker 1: go out and have the false starts, and definitely we
Speaker 1: can't turn the ball over because that's where they feast
Speaker 1: when you turn the ball over. That you gotta face
Speaker 1: one of the fastest offenses in the game. And then
Speaker 1: we'll talk about their offense. Mar But they got one
Speaker 1: of the fastest offenses in the game, So you don't
Speaker 1: want them put our young secondary in our D line.
Speaker 1: Our D line in that position. Our D line is
Speaker 1: a bunch of pass rushers. They ain't stopping to run
Speaker 1: the way they need to stop and run. They've been
Speaker 1: able to do it against these last two opponents because
Speaker 1: they just couldn't run the ball. So they've got to
Speaker 1: getting their into their offense tomorrow. But they've got a
Speaker 1: fast offense. They can score quick. The best way to
Speaker 1: keep their offense off the field. Do what we did
Speaker 1: against our offense to control the ball, run the ball,
Speaker 1: make the game ugly seven and score seven instead of
Speaker 1: kickfield goal. Yeah you can't you come up with three
Speaker 1: or four field goals this week? Yeah? Yeah. These guys
Speaker 1: average twenty nine points a game, you know, So you
Speaker 1: look at see what we averaging, Kurt, I know they
Speaker 1: average a twenty nine point five of a game. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: to give me a second and find that. So can
Speaker 1: we do that offensively with our starting running back, our
Speaker 1: stud out of the game? I guess is going to
Speaker 1: wind up being the question is if three guys can
Speaker 1: the three headed monster can can be just as as
Speaker 1: good as Zeke was by himself. We're scoring twenty eight
Speaker 1: a game, yeah, twenty eight a game, yeah, twenty eight
Speaker 1: point three to be exact, So that that may make us, well,
Speaker 1: that makes them third in the game. I may make
Speaker 1: us four for fifty game. Yeah yeah, I mean, well,
Speaker 1: am I gotta compute. I'm downloading like you wouldn't believe it,
Speaker 1: ain't you. I lost half my brain sales right here, man,
Speaker 1: trying to figure all this stuff out. Man. Yeah, but uh,
Speaker 1: one thing we can't do this game, Kurt and I
Speaker 1: want to is we cannot turn the ball over. We
Speaker 1: can't give them a sudden change play. Team takeaways this year,
Speaker 1: which is type of sixth in the league. Wow, there
Speaker 1: how many fumbles? That is five five fumbers, eight eight
Speaker 1: I and T s along with eighteen sacks and they're
Speaker 1: plus ten and differential yeah, given the ball up three times.
Speaker 1: So yeah, and absolutely against Denver. One in the first
Speaker 1: very first game by the running back hunt and then
Speaker 1: two this pass game where you know the quarterback gave
Speaker 1: up one and uh, something else happened. Brother. The two
Speaker 1: teams we just played, we won, and we should have won. Now,
Speaker 1: whether it was about one hundred points to five points
Speaker 1: at one point, we should have won these nasts two games.
Speaker 1: This here, this is where Mike Nusia may come into play.
Speaker 1: It's where he's got to be good. Because these guys
Speaker 1: I think can score. But now Bard, if we get,
Speaker 1: if they get the league, I know we can come
Speaker 1: back on them. Because you saw Denver was down twenty
Speaker 1: twenty three to three all of a sudden it was
Speaker 1: nineteen to twenty something. So they'll let you, they're shoot
Speaker 1: you out of the game and they'll let you come
Speaker 1: right back in the game. And you know the Cowboys,
Speaker 1: so we we we won't be out of this thing
Speaker 1: into into the to the to the fat Lady side,
Speaker 1: tuning up, tuning up. Huh Yeah, here's here's an interesting
Speaker 1: stat for the Cowboys. Uh. They're tied for the league
Speaker 1: lead with nine touchdowns and ranked second in the NFL
Speaker 1: with an average of one hundred and fifty point six
Speaker 1: yards per game and fifty seven rushing first downs. So
Speaker 1: can they keep that going? Is that offensive line or
Speaker 1: is that all zeke? I guess we're gonna find out.
Speaker 1: They still gotta be the offensive line. I think that's
Speaker 1: what they're gonna rely on. Everything is built around that.
Speaker 1: Every everything is predicated and built around that. You know,
Speaker 1: to the point where everybody forgets that you still really
Speaker 1: have to play defense and you still have to play
Speaker 1: special teams. Now that's where we we can. We can
Speaker 1: we can cancel out their defense. They may and counsel
Speaker 1: at our offense. We can slow down their offense. But
Speaker 1: where we where we should be able to take this
Speaker 1: game is we should be able to take it even
Speaker 1: though they got Treik Hill as their part returner. We
Speaker 1: should be win win the special teams. That's because I
Speaker 1: think we just got more and more minim at that
Speaker 1: point right now where we believe that we can make
Speaker 1: a block or we can tackle somebody hard enough to
Speaker 1: get in to the jar the ball loose. So our
Speaker 1: special teams should become something real, real special, Yeah, Kurt, Yes, sir,
Speaker 1: Or we go to break the Zeke stuff. He filed
Speaker 1: an appeal last night, right yeah, right, yeah there there
Speaker 1: filed today, yeah today, So well they filed it with
Speaker 1: that same judge yesterday and she of course shot it
Speaker 1: back down. Then it went to the second and went
Speaker 1: to the second, but he suspended until Yes he's out
Speaker 1: in that case, right, he's out. So he is out,
Speaker 1: all right? I mean they yeah, they could. I mean
Speaker 1: they've asked asked them to expedite it and make it
Speaker 1: do it quick, and I mean he could sit somenday
Speaker 1: and then come back. I mean, it's crazy, but it
Speaker 1: looks like it's you know, he's out, just like when
Speaker 1: he was here and we knew he was here. I
Speaker 1: rolled with it until he's gone. Now that's that's you
Speaker 1: know the fans. Can you know I played roller coast
Speaker 1: and win his roller coasts. I don't play roller coast
Speaker 1: and win. It ain't now, bro, Well, let's take a
Speaker 1: let's take a break. We didn't get to a whole
Speaker 1: lot of calls yesterday because we had so much going on,
Speaker 1: so we'll we'll take a few today. Let us know
Speaker 1: what you think about the Zeke situation. Let us know
Speaker 1: what you think about this game. I had somebody aim
Speaker 1: us as a faithful listener, and he compared this game
Speaker 1: to the Seattle game. What was that three years ago
Speaker 1: when we went up there and no one gave us
Speaker 1: a chance. I don't feel that way this week. I
Speaker 1: feel like this is a game that you've got a
Speaker 1: you should win this game at home. To me, it's
Speaker 1: you know you're at home. I think you should win.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's doom and gloom. And then the
Speaker 1: exciting thing for me about this is, I think you
Speaker 1: want two in a row. You beat two teams you
Speaker 1: should have beat. You're at home, you're playing a really
Speaker 1: good team. And then after this game, you're gonna know
Speaker 1: what this team's about. I think you're gonna this is
Speaker 1: gonna be a measuring stick. Whoa Nate, what's that? Look? Yeah?

Speaker 1: We're gonna go to the phone. Chris and san Antonio.
Speaker 1: What's up, Chris? What's going on for us? Hew? Y'all

Speaker 1: How awesome would that be? Run a mile the next day,
Speaker 1: but run a mile Duckian have one run another mile.
Speaker 1: I'd be pretty cool. I'm gonna work on that place.
Speaker 1: You hit up Christie's for that one, Yes, sir, Yes, sir,
Speaker 1: let's do it. Hey, So, I got a question on
Speaker 1: this scheme that we're running with banking on Zeke being suspended.
Speaker 1: I know that Alfred Morris ran it pretty well two
Speaker 1: years ago, a couple of years ago, but I know
Speaker 1: he's more of an inside his zone runner and the
Speaker 1: scheme kind of fits more to what Alfred Morris can do.
Speaker 1: But what do y'all see with Rod Smith? Is he
Speaker 1: a guy that's gonna get a little bit more carries
Speaker 1: than a guy like macfadden. They're gonna be the kind
Speaker 1: of guy that he's gonna they're gonna go to as
Speaker 1: a bell cow or what do y'all think on that,
Speaker 1: and I'll take elf comments off there and Shannon, I'll
Speaker 1: see you when I'm up there for the draft. Yes, sir,
Speaker 1: let's do it. Uh brother brother, I'm hoping. You know.
Speaker 1: I like Mars, that's my homeboy in Florida, but I
Speaker 1: want to see what Rod Smith can do. You know,
Speaker 1: you know I was talking to one uh compadres h
Speaker 1: Miss Taylor, Yeah, stop her, Taylor, Miss Taylor Stern, and
Speaker 1: she was like, what do you think rod Smell? I
Speaker 1: want to see him. I really want to see him.
Speaker 1: And I know that the way the Chiefs stripped the
Speaker 1: ball at thirteen takeaways, you may not feel as comfortable
Speaker 1: with him starting out, so you go with Mars to
Speaker 1: him going in, softening him up a little bit. He's
Speaker 1: that kid on in there, man, give it to him.
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see him. Man. Because there was one
Speaker 1: play against Arizona that they handed off. He was late
Speaker 1: in the game, but they handed it off and he
Speaker 1: acted like he was going outside and then he cut
Speaker 1: in and he's a big guy. Yeah, there was not
Speaker 1: much room and he dipped one shoulder, slid in a crack,
Speaker 1: got through it, popped around and then took off and
Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, he's a little shiftier than I
Speaker 1: thought he was. And him being that big, I'm excited
Speaker 1: to see what he can do. I'd love to see
Speaker 1: him get ten twelve fifteen carries this weekend. Will he
Speaker 1: be limited because he's a special team's guy. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's that's the issue, is what what what are they
Speaker 1: willing to Are they comfortable and trust them enough? And
Speaker 1: if so, how many reps? Because if he if he
Speaker 1: becomes the the hot hand is everybody want a holiday
Speaker 1: these days? That's a new you know, good word around
Speaker 1: her hot hand. Really, he speak somebody in this run
Speaker 1: and run this rock. You know what I'm saying. But
Speaker 1: uh hey, I would like to see more of them.
Speaker 1: This just bottom line for me. Yeah, and I have
Speaker 1: a feeling we will on Sunday. Yeah call us two
Speaker 1: one four eight seven two twenty one h two. I remember,
Speaker 1: I remember what I was gonna say. So a lot
Speaker 1: of times I'll go back and listen to the show
Speaker 1: on my way home because I don't like listening to
Speaker 1: the radio, and I don't want to other sports people
Speaker 1: because I know they don't know a lot of them
Speaker 1: don't know what the hell they're talking about because they're
Speaker 1: not out here. Um. So I was listened to the
Speaker 1: show and I had to stop and get gas. Last night.
Speaker 1: I was up here kind of late because went to
Speaker 1: the gym, left late and getting gas and I had
Speaker 1: my door open, and you know, turn to have the
Speaker 1: podcast going on my speakers, and I hear I hear
Speaker 1: this voice, goes Shannon, what you're listening to? I turn around.
Speaker 1: It's brought us and I'm like, my show. It's like, man,
Speaker 1: I got He's like, I thought I heard your voice,
Speaker 1: and it's like, you know what, I do that all
Speaker 1: the time. Was embarrassed. He's like, I do that all
Speaker 1: the time. I go back and listen to he said,
Speaker 1: especially at the Draft show. He'll go back and listen.
Speaker 1: So hey, every week I I burn three CDs of
Speaker 1: the play by play broadcast for Brad because he self critiques.
Speaker 1: Every week he re listens to the broadcast to hear
Speaker 1: how he did. I asked him what that cherry was
Speaker 1: and he told me to go look it up. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm not looking it up. I'm coming to the source.
Speaker 1: Tell me what it is. You could have looked it
Speaker 1: up with it that you went to him to ask
Speaker 1: because you didn't want to write look it up and
Speaker 1: he told me it was indeed a those candy cherries
Speaker 1: that are on top of the whatever, not the natural ones,
Speaker 1: but the real red ones with the syrup on him
Speaker 1: that you find in the middle of chocolates. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: those are good. What up? How is how is that
Speaker 1: gonna handle this defense? Because I got some speedy guys
Speaker 1: in the secondary. What's his what's his game playing going in?
Speaker 1: Just what he normally is because he protects the ball
Speaker 1: real well, he's not gonna try to force nothing in now,
Speaker 1: he's gonna try to what what I think can hurt
Speaker 1: this team if you can get some some early quick passes,
Speaker 1: you know, let and let guys run from that point.
Speaker 1: You know, this is a game where our lion Dez
Speaker 1: on that left side and get him that ball quick.
Speaker 1: And I think accres Is is uh one of the corners,
Speaker 1: young guy. I would see what he obviously, what he meant, obviously,
Speaker 1: what he made of you know, really really would it?
Speaker 1: Just you gotta you gotta play hard against his team.
Speaker 1: You gotta make the most out of every run. And
Speaker 1: I could be wrong, he could be actress could be
Speaker 1: on another team for Denver and that I'm holling about.
Speaker 1: But uh, these guys can these guys can found out
Speaker 1: play man kind of guy has seen him a lot
Speaker 1: of years when he was at the Eagles. But Benny
Speaker 1: Logans now with the Chiefs, it's much to worry about anyside.
Speaker 1: He looks good, but he's a part of that giving
Speaker 1: up one hundred and thirty one yards a game. He's
Speaker 1: still you know, I tell people it's a different play
Speaker 1: next to flesh of Cox. Yeah, maybe his favorite player. Yeah,
Speaker 1: when you play next Cox and you you you can
Speaker 1: get away with a lot. You know what, Kurt, Yes, sir,
Speaker 1: what do you what matchups are you looking for this week?
Speaker 1: What are you looking at? Well? I mean Davis one
Speaker 1: is the running game. But I think that I do
Speaker 1: want to see I've said all the time, but can
Speaker 1: Bryant bring a little bit more? Is he gonna have
Speaker 1: trouble with Peters? Are they gonna put him on the
Speaker 1: on the other side the left? You said he plays
Speaker 1: on the right, they set him up on the left
Speaker 1: and try to work him on that on the younger guy.
Speaker 1: Sure would like to see a little more out of him,
Speaker 1: you know, And I don't know if that's necessarily his fault.
Speaker 1: He played well this last game. Obviously the weather kind
Speaker 1: of limited things. But do you we talked about Dez
Speaker 1: a little bit and I think he's good in the
Speaker 1: role that he's in. But do you think they should
Speaker 1: make more of an emphasis on getting him the ball
Speaker 1: more or more plays? I don't know. I mean they
Speaker 1: doing what they're doing, and it's good enough to win,
Speaker 1: and so they keep doing it or that. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't want him to force it, right, I don't either. Well,
Speaker 1: but he's a weapon. Well, you gotta keep using him,
Speaker 1: you know, you gotta keep using them. How you using him?
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, what four or five cases this past game?
Speaker 1: Or I think you just gotta keep using them? How
Speaker 1: you using him? And so that's Uh. I tell people,
Speaker 1: if you have stood and you and you still got it,
Speaker 1: it'll break. You got ten more games? Uh, you know
Speaker 1: you got nine more games, right, your nine more games?
Speaker 1: If you stood, it'll break. Yeah, what's there? I think
Speaker 1: Witton can do much with the their Their safeties were
Speaker 1: worth worrying about. Stewart is one of the guys. I
Speaker 1: think Parker was Rob Parker, Yeah, Daniel Sore and Daniel Sarsu,
Speaker 1: not Steward. Stewards with Denver. When you're watching all these games, man,
Speaker 1: you know you think of the Cowboys playing Denver, it
Speaker 1: all runs together. But they got the good safeties. Man. Uh,
Speaker 1: where they're good at it's takeaways where they're good at
Speaker 1: his interceptions. But you can also beat them. That's the
Speaker 1: tricky thing about. And we was talking off hour, I said, uh,
Speaker 1: the year the Marcael Murray was here and we had
Speaker 1: that twelve and four year I think it was, and
Speaker 1: our defense uh just was a turnover machine, right. You know,
Speaker 1: you knew that soon that it was gonna break because
Speaker 1: they weren't gonna hold up. This is this team. They
Speaker 1: can they can sack you, they can take they can
Speaker 1: strip the ball out, but they're gonna give up some yardage.
Speaker 1: They give up three hundred and ninety two yards a
Speaker 1: game that's ranked thirty I the third downs, the thirty
Speaker 1: nine point six the center the time giving it up.
Speaker 1: So it's an interesting matchup for but they only give
Speaker 1: up twenty two point five, just like them Cowboys did
Speaker 1: back in that year. I think they gave about twenty
Speaker 1: one twenty two. Once a game is a little bit
Speaker 1: like this year's Cowboys too. Maybe no, no, this your
Speaker 1: Cowboys ain't that good yet. If this is just if
Speaker 1: this year cowboys they got the sacks, but they don't
Speaker 1: and they just not started to create the turnovers. You know. Uh,
Speaker 1: they've been doing this all year. They've been who they
Speaker 1: are all year. So far our cowboys are just starting
Speaker 1: to get there. And we don't know if our cowboys
Speaker 1: can hold down a run. But now what we're only
Speaker 1: giving up what twenty three points a game? Yeah, twenty
Speaker 1: three point five points a game, and that's still key.
Speaker 1: I think what's interesting about this game, even from the
Speaker 1: Chiefs perspective, is they started out of the gate really hot,
Speaker 1: lost two in a row, and then fault a hard
Speaker 1: one night with night with Denver that just now made
Speaker 1: a quarterback change. So they're not that great. Cowboys started
Speaker 1: off really sluggish and slow. Looks like they started putting
Speaker 1: it together. Fought a real tough game with a great
Speaker 1: Packers you know Packers team one two in a row
Speaker 1: now at that time, right before the quarterback went down,
Speaker 1: one two in a row now, So this is kind
Speaker 1: of a game to me that that kind of lets
Speaker 1: you know, you know, what's what you know you don't
Speaker 1: really know what the chiefs are. They started out one way,
Speaker 1: they kind of faltered. Looks like they might be getting
Speaker 1: it back together. Cow Boys faltered out of the gate.
Speaker 1: Looks like they're starting to get it together. So I
Speaker 1: think it's from a fan perspective, it's going to be
Speaker 1: a really, really good game. What do we say they
Speaker 1: they scored twenty eight a game, and we scored twenty seven,
Speaker 1: and they're giving up twenty two and a half a game.
Speaker 1: We're giving up twenty three, So and so pretty evenly
Speaker 1: at man be interesting? Yep, give us a call two
Speaker 1: one four eight seven two twenty one. Yeah, we will
Speaker 1: talk about whatever you guys want to talk about. Accept
Speaker 1: the World Series because you Darvis pitching. Oh hey, did
Speaker 1: y'all watch that game last night? I do, Nah, but
Speaker 1: I'd say they say you the open ones, you won't
Speaker 1: get get get full ends in real shame. Man. I
Speaker 1: got high hope for you tonight. What I think y'all
Speaker 1: be the one of y'all watching the game tonight? What
Speaker 1: game is that? World Series? Definitely does that mean knows
Speaker 1: that because it's not football. You know what's been fun
Speaker 1: for me this year watching football? Playing this first place schedule.
Speaker 1: Almost every team we play, they've either played on Thursday
Speaker 1: night or Monday night. So I actually get to watch
Speaker 1: our opponent. Yeah yeah, either they play Sunday night, you know,
Speaker 1: and you get to see you see us played, and
Speaker 1: you get to see, right because I never, especially traveling
Speaker 1: away games, I never get to see around the league play.
Speaker 1: And this year almost every thirday. Have you ever seen
Speaker 1: the Cowboys play? Since you check Jeremiah's job, No, And
Speaker 1: I didn't do a very good job this weekend in
Speaker 1: that rain either, man, that rains. You got the camera
Speaker 1: equipment out there and everything. Oh yeah, I didn't get
Speaker 1: you know what. I did get a really good picture
Speaker 1: of the field goal block. But that's about all I did.
Speaker 1: James kicked my butt. James our other team photography. He
Speaker 1: destroyed me this week. You shouldn't compare yourself to him. Well, hey,
Speaker 1: if you want to get better, man, you got to
Speaker 1: compare it to be the champ. You gotta beat the champ,
Speaker 1: so you gotta aim high. But yeah, but we're talking
Speaker 1: about somebody and a baby buggy looking at Usain Bolt. Wow,
Speaker 1: I just I just spit on Nate, I laughed. I
Speaker 1: don't worry about. I'm just saying, wow wow, he called
Speaker 1: you a baby buggy man. I mean it as a
Speaker 1: compliment to James M wow yeah. And then and a
Speaker 1: knock on out boy, man, Hey, you shut his mic off.
Speaker 1: Let's go through. Uh have a call. Okay, we'n go
Speaker 1: through these power rankings real quick. And then no, man,
Speaker 1: let's go through. Okay, get your power rankings, have not
Speaker 1: my power rankings. Who we got Doug is Eric in
Speaker 1: North Carolina. Eric with a sea in North Carolina. What's
Speaker 1: for lunch? Doesn't have an eight to day? Y'all have eight?
Speaker 1: Yes to eat? Man, I'll get me a smooth or
Speaker 1: something in a minute. Man, you gotta get some food. Yeah, man,
Speaker 1: my mistakes. We have a birthday dinner for my cousin
Speaker 1: tonight and uh so we're gonna we're gonna go out
Speaker 1: to eat tonight. I got your play Smokey Bones on
Speaker 1: the same appetite. Hey, I'm gonna help you out today.
Speaker 1: Don't let Nate cut you off. So make this short
Speaker 1: and sweet and don't make it real on you again, y'all.
Speaker 1: To make a quick comment, man, I actually watched the
Speaker 1: game Monday night, and there's holes in that defense man.
Speaker 1: So I honestly don't think we'll have a problem running
Speaker 1: the ball. I don't think we'll have a problem moving
Speaker 1: the ball at all. Also, although and do scaring a
Speaker 1: little uh you know, fat stopping them offensively, but I
Speaker 1: don't think we'll have an issue. Eric, let me ask
Speaker 1: you a question while we got you on the phone. Yeah,
Speaker 1: how do you feel about Zeke not playing? Are you
Speaker 1: worried about this three headed monsters they're about to throw
Speaker 1: out there on Sunday. I think it'll work for us
Speaker 1: because one one key factor is that I don't think
Speaker 1: teams will be scared about easy one that our running
Speaker 1: back to them, So they're not gonna load the box
Speaker 1: of they're not. I don't see them putting eight nine
Speaker 1: people in the box that they're gonna try to play
Speaker 1: a square up. That's gonna create some opportunities. Man, we
Speaker 1: all see what after Mors can do. You give them
Speaker 1: a good clean hole. We've seen what Ron Smiths can
Speaker 1: do down feel so I don't think we'll miss a
Speaker 1: beat man. I think we should slowly work like that
Speaker 1: in the end. But let those two guys get the
Speaker 1: carriage right now, and I think we'll be fine. Man,
Speaker 1: I really do. For some reason, I think you do well.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna cut you off now, be so Nate doesn't
Speaker 1: get you. Thanks Eric, we'll talk to you Friday, all right, Nate. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they don't put nobody in the box. I mean, I
Speaker 1: was gonna say if that's the case, but to see,
Speaker 1: I understand what he's saying is early in the game.
Speaker 1: If then I'm putting abody in the box, we gotta break,
Speaker 1: we gotta make, we gotta take advantage of it. If
Speaker 1: you don't take advantage of it, and then all of
Speaker 1: a sudden they got the extra safety back. Then, Now,
Speaker 1: who who you gonna pass to? As bad as their
Speaker 1: run defense seems to be, though, wouldn't they wouldn't they
Speaker 1: load up the box a little bit there, Nah, because
Speaker 1: they're banking you can't get it in the red zone.
Speaker 1: They're banking that they can get three. They're banking that
Speaker 1: you may get a cup of touchdowns up that you
Speaker 1: feel going in the rest of the way. They're banking
Speaker 1: on that. I'd like to give a shout out to
Speaker 1: a special listener today that just sent me a text

Speaker 1: shotgun formations and Hail Mary's. Having a Cowboys football party
Speaker 1: without Doctor Pepper is like having Thanksgiving without the Cowboys. Basically,
Speaker 1: we wouldn't recommend it. So next time you have a tailgate, homegate,
Speaker 1: or whatever else kind of gate, grab some ice called
Speaker 1: doctor Pepper for you and your friends to enjoy. It's
Speaker 1: a Dallas Cowboys tradition. Doctor Pepper the one you crave.
Speaker 1: It can be hard to find the right resource for
Speaker 1: learning about important financial matters. You search how to build savings,
Speaker 1: you end up reading about the one weird ingredient from
Speaker 1: supermarkets that can make you taller. That's why Bank of

Speaker 1: Better Money Habits dot Com. Back to hang it with
Speaker 1: the boys, We're back for the final ten minutes or
Speaker 1: so of this Wednesday Tune in tomorrow. Jeff Swain, we'll
Speaker 1: join us in studio talking long horns. We could do
Speaker 1: that talk whatever, because it's not gonna take us long
Speaker 1: to talk about his one catch in the game on
Speaker 1: I love the man. It's great. He's one of the
Speaker 1: best guests we've ever had on this show. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: run through the power rank he's real quick because I
Speaker 1: know we have an injury update we're going to get
Speaker 1: to and when we do, I know Nate's gonna go
Speaker 1: off about who's hurt and clapping and all that. So
Speaker 1: let's run through these power rankies real quick. Oh. NFL
Speaker 1: dot Com has the Cowboys at twelve. They had him
Speaker 1: at twelve the week before. Say all eyes are on
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott. Right now it appears to six games. Suspension
Speaker 1: is back on, though there's still a chance another appeal
Speaker 1: could get him back on the field. With everything up
Speaker 1: in the air, we'll leave the Cowboys right where they
Speaker 1: were last week, at least for now, Elliott. Elliott just
Speaker 1: carry the Boys to a road win and a difficult
Speaker 1: element Sunday with one hundred fifty yards to touchdowns on
Speaker 1: the ground. While you never want to discount a division win,
Speaker 1: Dallas received much help from a sloppy Washington squad that
Speaker 1: seemed all too willing to give the Cowboys opportunities. A
Speaker 1: real encouraging sign for Dallas the pass rush, which has
Speaker 1: picked up the pace in recent weeks. With so many
Speaker 1: young players in the secondary, the importance of Rod Marion
Speaker 1: Ellis rushers can't be underestimated. Let's see here. Guess who
Speaker 1: they have at first? Who at Eagles? ESPN has Cowboys
Speaker 1: at seventh down five. I don't know why they had
Speaker 1: them ranked at two last week. Ezekiel Elliott has rushed
Speaker 1: eighty eight times for a four hundred and thirteen yards
Speaker 1: and four touchdowns the past three games, a scary big workload.
Speaker 1: The Cowboys are riding Elliott, but the prospect of him
Speaker 1: missing time has to be worrisome. Guess who they have
Speaker 1: at number one O the Eagles and CBS dot Com
Speaker 1: has the Cowboys at eleven up one. They've won two straight,
Speaker 1: both on the road to get back on track, but
Speaker 1: now comes word that star runner Ezekiel Elliott is likely
Speaker 1: gone for the next six games, pinning an appeal of
Speaker 1: his suspension. Guess who they have at number one O
Speaker 1: the Eagles unanimous Eagles, yuck. Let's go to the phones
Speaker 1: real quick before we go to this injury report. Nate
Speaker 1: in Washington, did you you got bragging rights all week?
Speaker 1: A little bit? Yes? All right? Man? Take advantage of that.
Speaker 1: What's going on? Yeah, well Seahawks put up a good
Speaker 1: game too, didn't he They did? Yeah, he's in Washington State.
Speaker 1: Oh okay. My one worry is Anthony Brown on the
Speaker 1: outside the tyree killing those receivers Kansas City. That's a
Speaker 1: scary matchup. He hasn't been playing his best ball. But
Speaker 1: if he pee in the backfield on this and he'll
Speaker 1: never look back again, it'd be squatched it. Even in
Speaker 1: that Washington game to look like he was giving up
Speaker 1: a lot of space, but our pass rush was just
Speaker 1: too much for him. Yeah, I agree with your problem.
Speaker 1: That's a good point. Thanks for calling, Nate, Thanks Nate,
Speaker 1: What do you think about that? He just gotta learn, man,
Speaker 1: You got to learn and he gotta you know, he
Speaker 1: got to play the man. He's good enough and fast enough,
Speaker 1: ain't big enough to do it. So now it's about
Speaker 1: will the will want to repeatedly, regardless of whether you
Speaker 1: board or whatever. Distractions. What can you do, Nate? A
Speaker 1: young guy in a secondary that's having some some problems.
Speaker 1: You got the talent, you got the speed, but you're
Speaker 1: you're you know, you're turning your head too quick. What
Speaker 1: are some do you stay late after practice, Do you
Speaker 1: watch more film? Do you talk to guy like what
Speaker 1: do you do? You just gotta be your main focus, man.
Speaker 1: I mean each guy is different, and some guys just
Speaker 1: film work get some better. Some guys, uh the reps
Speaker 1: out on the field, you know, of doing it over
Speaker 1: and over and over to it becomes natural. You know,
Speaker 1: some guys just game players are getting the game. They
Speaker 1: just played lights out. You'd be like, man, this ain't
Speaker 1: saying guy to practice. Dak was like that last year.
Speaker 1: So you know you're getting the you know, you get
Speaker 1: in the game and it's just it's just the lights come.
Speaker 1: So I guess it's kind of the equivalent of any
Speaker 1: other job. Like I'm a very I'm not a real
Speaker 1: visual learner. I have to do I have to do it.
Speaker 1: Let me do it, and then I learn it. If
Speaker 1: you're telling me and I'm just watching, I don't learn
Speaker 1: as fast. So I guess it kind of translates like
Speaker 1: that in football as well. Right, Yeah, yeah, Kurt, you
Speaker 1: got some injury news over there or updates. Yeah, well
Speaker 1: it's not the official report isn't out yet, but we
Speaker 1: know from the Chiefs that starting outside linebacker d Ford
Speaker 1: did not practice today, just thought, how do we find
Speaker 1: this information? This was on the Twitter and they're one
Speaker 1: of their reporters, one of the Chiefs reporters on Twitter.
Speaker 1: Ford is having test on on his back, so he
Speaker 1: may be questionable for this Sunday's game. And then Albert Wilson,
Speaker 1: who's one of their wide receivers, he's got a hamstring strain,
Speaker 1: so it's looking maybe doubtful he'll be back around. And
Speaker 1: then for us, obviously, Dan Bailey, where you getting this
Speaker 1: info from? This is from our own David Hellman. David Hellman, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Dan Bailey obviously going to be out for a while.
Speaker 1: Zeke Elliott obviously he's not around. I guess he wouldn't
Speaker 1: be on the report. He's not here. Tyrn Smith he
Speaker 1: was out. I'm assuming he was just managing his back.
Speaker 1: It's probably going to be a frequent thing throughout the
Speaker 1: rest of the season. Cole Beasley is still in the
Speaker 1: concussion protocol. He did not work out today. He's been going,
Speaker 1: he's been in meetings, he's been kind of going through
Speaker 1: everything else. Garrett said today he's not showing any symptoms,
Speaker 1: so he's on the right track. But as part of
Speaker 1: that protocol, he could not practice today, so pulling out
Speaker 1: a signature sauce and then pouring it on his hands. Okay,
Speaker 1: and then chadobe ooozier looks closer. But he was out
Speaker 1: there today. But Garrett said of him he was going
Speaker 1: to be limited. So limited, there we are, and let him,
Speaker 1: let him him and Zeke hang out, let him get
Speaker 1: full healthy. Yeah, fully healthy. Yeah, that getting man, We
Speaker 1: don't need any more that. I got a stat here
Speaker 1: for you. That surprised me a little bit. We love stats,
Speaker 1: that guy. Yeah. Yeah. Strength of schedule that we've had
Speaker 1: so far. According to Pro Football Focus, the Cowboys have
Speaker 1: had the thirtieth ranked strength of schedule. That's not good
Speaker 1: when you're only four and three. Yeah, that's kind of
Speaker 1: kind of kept what came to mind to me as
Speaker 1: well as they've had a According to them, they've had
Speaker 1: a pretty easy time of it so far and maybe
Speaker 1: haven't taken advantage like they should. The remaining schedule is
Speaker 1: ranked thirteenth, so when to get tougher, for sure, that's
Speaker 1: not it should go better than the power rankings. The Eagles, though,
Speaker 1: their strength of schedules thirty first so far, but they're
Speaker 1: and their twenty first. The rest of the way are
Speaker 1: what are the chiefs? Chiefs? They've had the fourteenth strength
Speaker 1: of schedule so far and the remaining strength is twenty sixth.
Speaker 1: Who's got the toughest in the league? The toughest. I
Speaker 1: gotta scroll through here, Douglas. And if you want to
Speaker 1: vamp a minute, the Carolina Plant Panthers have the top
Speaker 1: one for the rest of the way. Um let me
Speaker 1: seeking fun. Chicago Bears have actually had the toughest one
Speaker 1: to date. Wow, three and five? Three and five, man, Nate,
Speaker 1: did you know anyone did you or any of your
Speaker 1: co workers ever have back problems on that offensive line?
Speaker 1: How bad does that mess with you? That message? You bad?
Speaker 1: Chass Hainly had it? Man? Yes it man? You just
Speaker 1: is that one of those injuries that like it, you'd
Speaker 1: affects your whole body? And does it ever get better
Speaker 1: on its own? Or do you have to have surgery
Speaker 1: on it? Spends on what what? What is it? A sprain,
Speaker 1: a strain, or something is nerves or something is structurally wrong.
Speaker 1: It's just so many different ways you're back and go
Speaker 1: out of whack, and all of them can cripple you
Speaker 1: either short term along I mean a strain back can
Speaker 1: do the same thing as a something. If you break
Speaker 1: something back there, or if you damage a nerve, or
Speaker 1: if you are having mustard spouse, it always just throws
Speaker 1: your body out of whack. Yeah, I mean it messes
Speaker 1: you up. How did they treat it? For Charles just
Speaker 1: get letting rest when they could, and letting rest when
Speaker 1: he could, and shot them things in them needles in
Speaker 1: his back. And everybody a little bit different, you know,
Speaker 1: depending on what it is. You know. But all of
Speaker 1: those strain, the sprain, the structural damage, all of that
Speaker 1: would knock you on your off your feet, all of it.
Speaker 1: It's not like you can rehabit a lot. Kenny, just
Speaker 1: gotta just gotta rest that. You gotta rest that because
Speaker 1: a back, I mean, just picking up soap can be
Speaker 1: you know, trying to bend down or bend down. The
Speaker 1: worst one is when you get down, you're back. I'll
Speaker 1: let you get down, but ain't know where you And
Speaker 1: they say picking up soap is risky in many situations.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't know up. Douglas just went into the gutter again.
Speaker 1: Good God swerved off. Wow, let's go back to the phone.
Speaker 1: Maybe Max and Indy can save the day. You're gonna
Speaker 1: end us on a good note or you're gonna keep
Speaker 1: us in the gutter like like uh, Douglas, Hey, I'm
Speaker 1: a pastor. I'm gonna pull you out here. Thank you,
Speaker 1: thank you, thank you, thank you, pastor. Max. What's going on, man, Hey,
Speaker 1: not much. I have not listened since Sunday. So a
Speaker 1: quick observation and question about Shawn Lee. It seemed like
Speaker 1: every time we got gassed on the run Seawan was
Speaker 1: not in and some of those were first downs and
Speaker 1: so he was not on the injury port. You guys
Speaker 1: just spoke about what's what's he looking like moving forward?
Speaker 1: Because it is noticeable, noticeable when he's not on the field.
Speaker 1: Great question. Thanks for calling Max, Nate. He's he's the man.
Speaker 1: He gets everybody lined up. You know, he may he's
Speaker 1: a difference maker, especially if if i'd even a line
Speaker 1: is playing just a if i'd even the line is
Speaker 1: just playing adequate, he makes good plays if they're playing great,
Speaker 1: he's outstanding. Yeah, and Kurt, you mentioned these last two
Speaker 1: wins first time that him Hitchens, Hitchens and Herving at
Speaker 1: the same time. It makes a big I need to
Speaker 1: go back and look it up. Since the pass games,
Speaker 1: but the difference in yards per carry giving up was
Speaker 1: big between him being in there and him not. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's it's kind of remarkable. He's banging up like every guy.
Speaker 1: He's got some bang ups. He was fighting. He got
Speaker 1: hitting the quad I think against forty nine ers, which
Speaker 1: kind of slowed him up a little bit for that.
Speaker 1: But he he was out there today practicing. It's going
Speaker 1: to take a lot to get him off the field.
Speaker 1: He'll be out there. Yeah, Well, fellas, our time on
Speaker 1: Wednesday has come to an end. Hey, Nate's got a
Speaker 1: good shirt on today. By the way, I just put
Speaker 1: the camera on him. Ye, NYPD shirt. Good day for
