Let's just say 15 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,560 Speaker 1: it that way. There's a lot to talk about with 16 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:14,279 Speaker 1: this Dallas Cowboys team. Because a couple of guys getting healthy, 17 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 1: we of course have a couple guys replacing guys that 18 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 1: won't be getting healthy, and we've got some predictions to 19 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,039 Speaker 1: have later on in the show. As we're gonna take 20 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 1: a look at the rest of the Cowboys schedule, We're 21 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 1: gonna kind of talk through this thing a little bit. 22 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 1: Is the season closer to being a championship season or 23 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 1: a top five pick season. We're gonna discuss that coming 24 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:39,479 Speaker 1: up here in about twenty minutes or so. Things can 25 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 1: get a little spicy today, boys, and I think there's 26 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 1: no better way but to just get right into it. 27 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: And the way we're gonna do that as I'm gonna 28 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 1: defer to mister Rob Phillips here, as yesterday we finally 29 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 1: get to see a practice. Of course, with being a 30 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 1: little bit longer week, yesterday was the normal Tuesday, excuse me, 31 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 1: the normal Wednesday in terms of the right gular practice schedule. 32 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 1: So the Cowboys were back out on the field. Did 33 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:10,640 Speaker 1: the injury situation look like doing yesterday's practice, Rob, Well, 34 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,080 Speaker 1: once again, if you don't factor in the guys on IR, 35 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 1: which is like a dozen guys, it looks like a 36 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,360 Speaker 1: pretty clean injury report. The only guy that's, you know, 37 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 1: take away Dak Prescott and Tristan Hill, who were not 38 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 1: on IR at the moment. I think the only player 39 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 1: on the active roster in practice was Everson Griffin. It 40 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 1: was a non injury so I maybe a personal matter. 41 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:38,080 Speaker 1: I'm not sure exactly why he wasn't there, and so 42 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: we'll see what happens with Layton Vanderesh, but that's the 43 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,520 Speaker 1: big story. He's not on the injury report because he's 44 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 1: on IR. But it could be this week, very possibly. 45 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,640 Speaker 1: Anytime you have a full practice, first practice a week, 46 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 1: that's pretty encouraging. And I counted it up. It's been 47 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,919 Speaker 1: I think September fifteenth as he had the collarbone surgery, 48 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 1: So if you get to Monday night, it'll be right 49 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,839 Speaker 1: up against the five week mark, so you know, since 50 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:07,919 Speaker 1: to eight was what we heard when he had the surgery. 51 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 1: They said he's had a schedule. If he does play 52 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,360 Speaker 1: Monday night, he's he's right around five weeks instead of six, 53 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,359 Speaker 1: so they could use him back and that would be 54 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: a big boost of the defense if he's ready to go. Wow, 55 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,959 Speaker 1: five weeks of recovery, he's right back in the thicket things. 56 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:27,360 Speaker 1: And it's a normal uh coverage of the of the 57 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 1: team and I guess fans out there as well. You 58 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: would get a little nervous about that. But Isaiah, this 59 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 1: is a medical staff that wouldn't put a guy out 60 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 1: there if he wasn't one hundred percent ready to go. Right, 61 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 1: You're absolutely correct. I mean his medical staff is to 62 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: second and nine. You got Timbo, you got you got 63 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,839 Speaker 1: you know, I mean you got brit you know, Britt Brown, 64 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 1: you got those that whole crew over there. That's amazing. 65 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 1: But there is a thing called upper management, and sometimes 66 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 1: upper management once guys to get on the field before 67 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 1: traders want them to get on the field. I hope 68 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: that's not the base. Um in this guards, I don't 69 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 1: think that they should be forcing to be out there, 70 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 1: or not forcing, but pushing him to go out there. Um. 71 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 1: I think you should play it on the safe side 72 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 1: because look at the projection of the season. Yeah, you know, 73 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: the record is not good right now and we need 74 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: this wright, but the future looks pretty dark promising, um, 75 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,279 Speaker 1: and we need to look at that, look at that 76 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,720 Speaker 1: and understand the situation that we're gonna be in potentially 77 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: going down the road, and why risk potential. You know, 78 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: re infort somebody who can who can utilize the extra 79 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:33,279 Speaker 1: two weeks for some healing. Yeah, I think his big 80 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 1: test comes today that this would be the padded practice, 81 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:41,160 Speaker 1: so just to see how that show that calibone holds up. 82 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,600 Speaker 1: I don't know if this is just the coach employ 83 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 1: to make the Cardinals think about us having our guy back, 84 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: but man, it would be so awesome for our defense. 85 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 1: It's already struggling. Joe Thomas, man is you know? I 86 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,479 Speaker 1: would say fourth or fifth linebacker test filled in nicely, 87 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: But we do know that Leyton just has a whole 88 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:04,039 Speaker 1: nother dimension to his game. Uh that Joess isn't able 89 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 1: to click up to h So getting him back, especially 90 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: what he does in the passing game for the linebacker, 91 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,720 Speaker 1: I think it is going to be pivotal, especially the 92 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,720 Speaker 1: match up with Kyler Murray and just knowing that quick 93 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,600 Speaker 1: release and how boble he is. Man, So getting late 94 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: Laton back would be Man, it would be great for us. 95 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,160 Speaker 1: Kyle can I ask the question, absolutely, do we I'm 96 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,279 Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna let you play training if even if 97 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: LB is ready to go, right the thing ensured up, 98 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 1: he's ready to go, He's had a good practice hopefully 99 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 1: another good practice today. Do you put him out there 100 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: with the way that this defensive front has been playing 101 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,480 Speaker 1: and knowing that these officive linry are going to get 102 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: up to the second level. M M. That's tough. That's tough. 103 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 1: You know, it's tough because we've also said that that 104 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,599 Speaker 1: Jalen has been has struggle because his inability to run 105 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 1: sideline the sideline because of his guys in his way. 106 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 1: And you look, it's two sided, right. Can't we get 107 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: more push on our defense to allow our linebackers to 108 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 1: run sideline the sideline? Do also limit late how many 109 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 1: snaps he plays defensively, So I think a lot of 110 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 1: that is going to be factored in to it, especially 111 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 1: if he's going to play Monday night. Yeah, that's a 112 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,279 Speaker 1: that's a tough situation because you want him back out there, 113 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: but you also want to take the safer out, especially 114 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,359 Speaker 1: with a young guy who could turn out to be 115 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,919 Speaker 1: a star, and it already was really a star in 116 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,679 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen and at the early parts of twenty nineteen 117 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 1: before he ended up getting hurt. So I think overall, 118 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,039 Speaker 1: you want him back out there and you want him 119 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 1: to play and get those reps. You may not throw 120 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 1: a full workload at him, but if he's fully ready 121 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,839 Speaker 1: to go, I don't see a problem with him seeing 122 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 1: a couple snaps. But like we said earlier, and Heckma 123 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 1: mentioned this a minute ago about today is really the 124 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 1: important day right now, hasn't That's not anything compared to 125 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: what they're gonna see today in practice, first padded practice. 126 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy echo that sentiment in his daily come or 127 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: his weekly conversation with one or five point three the 128 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 1: fans said that today's a big day. If he goes 129 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 1: out there and it looks good and he feels good 130 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 1: and he's able to go out and hit somebody and 131 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 1: maybe get a couple hits taking on his side, he's 132 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 1: gonna be ready to go on Monday because of how 133 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 1: a head of schedule he is. But today's gonna tell 134 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: a lot rob on it just how ready Laton vander 135 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 1: esh is going to be. Yeah. Absolutely, and and there's 136 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: no there's no simulation for the Cardinals on Monday night. 137 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 1: I mean, they're not going to tackle each other in practice. 138 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 1: So you just have to trust it and trust you 139 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 1: know that it's I'm sure they're not going to put 140 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 1: him out there unless there's it's healed. I just don't. 141 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 1: I don't believe that. I think because Isaiah's right, like 142 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 1: it's amazing to me. I hadn't thought about this. He 143 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 1: has not played a full game for the Dallas Cowboys 144 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 1: and almost a calendar year, almost a calendar year. It 145 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 1: was last November where he was, you know, trying to 146 00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: fight through the stinger stuff and then wound up on 147 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 1: I are and had the surgery in January on his neck. 148 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 1: So you know, Isaiah's exactly right. He is so important 149 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 1: to their future. You know, he's the future of that defense. 150 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 1: And I just don't think they would put him out 151 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: there if they didn't feel like he was ready. It 152 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 1: does seem I mean, it's it's an accelerated timeline, but 153 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 1: he must be making a ton of progress. And and 154 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 1: you know when they do plate that thing, it does 155 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 1: accelerate the healing process. It makes it faster than if 156 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 1: you're if you're just healing on it on its own, 157 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 1: which with a bone it's always a minimum six weeks. 158 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 1: So um, I just have to, you know, believe that it. 159 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 1: You know, to your point with Jim and Britt and 160 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: those guys, they're gonna, they're gonna, you know, be really 161 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 1: careful with him and make sure he's ready to go again. Though, 162 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,199 Speaker 1: once you get out there and you hit and you 163 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 1: get hit. That's the real test. That's the test. And 164 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: you you mentioned being careful with Layton Vander. Actually they've 165 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 1: been careful with players before, one of which actually one 166 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 1: that we didn't know was really dealing with any kind 167 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 1: of specific injuries. But Mike mccar he came out today 168 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 1: and said that the snap count from Amari Cooper on 169 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 1: the outside on the offensive side of the ball has 170 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 1: been down, and it was down against the Giants because 171 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 1: he's been dealing with a couple different things. Now, if 172 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:12,560 Speaker 1: you go back and you look at the snap counts 173 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 1: and the percentage that he was on the field from 174 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 1: week one to week five, it decreased every single week 175 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,959 Speaker 1: pretty consistently, to the point where he was just over 176 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,960 Speaker 1: sixty percent of the snaps in that game against New 177 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 1: York Heckman, do you take any stock in the fact 178 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: that the snap count is going down for Amari Cooper? 179 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,320 Speaker 1: Is this just a veteran getting a couple less plays 180 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:39,599 Speaker 1: and less snaps than we really anticipated. It does worry me. 181 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 1: It worries me to the extent, especially you know where 182 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: he is is in the pecking order of our receivers. 183 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:48,439 Speaker 1: We obviously Ah, I think unanimously agree that he's the 184 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:52,839 Speaker 1: number one guy for the Cowboys, and defenses have to 185 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 1: account for the fact that Amari Cooper is on the field, 186 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,320 Speaker 1: and when he's not, they get to adjust their game plan. 187 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 1: So I don't know, they're not listening or saying anything 188 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:06,320 Speaker 1: about an injury, uh to say it's I think last 189 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 1: year was an ankle or a calf or knee injuries, whatever, 190 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 1: lower leg injuries, whatever it is. Mark Cooper is very 191 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,439 Speaker 1: important to what we do, and especially with having a 192 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 1: new quarterback, and so we're gonna have to give Andy 193 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 1: Dalton every weapon that he's gonna that he needs to 194 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,439 Speaker 1: be successful on offense. So that does worry me, Colin, 195 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,080 Speaker 1: and that's something that definitely we need to keep an 196 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 1: eye on, especially with the reps and going into this 197 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 1: next three game stretch. Isah, it should worry you, just 198 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 1: like Heck said, I mean, I understand that number one 199 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 1: receivers in the NFL don't get time off in regards 200 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 1: of snaps off. They don't. They don't. They don't get 201 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,959 Speaker 1: there their their play, their play accounts. You know, kind 202 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 1: of moderated and handled in that way doesn't happen, you know, 203 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 1: you don't see Julio Jones getting his his snaps. Even 204 00:10:57,800 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 1: when he was gimping around on a Hamstreet on one 205 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 1: hand against the Cowboys, he was still out there every play. Um, 206 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 1: you don't see d Hop out there, you know, asking 207 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 1: for less reps. Larry fish Gerald, I mean, you don't. 208 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 1: These number one guys don't. Don't. They don't do that. 209 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 1: So um, when they when they reps are being cut, 210 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 1: it's because something is going on, um, and it is 211 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:17,679 Speaker 1: something that they're trying to manage, and they're trying to 212 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 1: they're trying to minimize the amount of damage as being done. Yeah, 213 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 1: if you if you go back to training camp, remember 214 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: he didn't really practice the last almost like the last 215 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 1: few days of camp. And I think it might have 216 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: been a little bit of a hansering because that's what 217 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 1: it's on the injury report like week one, and the 218 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 1: Cowboys kept saying, you know, and I'm not saying that's 219 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 1: what it is here because whatever it is, it's not 220 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,079 Speaker 1: enough to put him on the injury report. He's not 221 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 1: in danger of missing the game. Um, but they're, you know, 222 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,559 Speaker 1: one hundred million dollars man, they want to make sure 223 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:51,080 Speaker 1: weeks one through seventeen. He's good, and so maybe they're 224 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 1: just trying to manage that that he's not overdoing himself. 225 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,559 Speaker 1: And because you're right, like, if it's all systems go, 226 00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 1: you want him out on the field. I will say this. 227 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,599 Speaker 1: You know on that drive that we referenced earlier in 228 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 1: the week where it was fourteen plays all runs, and 229 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 1: you didn't see Ceedee Lamb on that drive either, So 230 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 1: they Mike McCarthy's got a little bit of a different 231 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 1: approach in terms of he trusts one through five the 232 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 1: receivers they've got that are in the rotation, and he 233 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 1: always talks about how every the young guys and the 234 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 1: backup guys, if I trust them, they need to play 235 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 1: because as we go through the season, we're gonna need them. 236 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,839 Speaker 1: And as many injuries as the Cowboys have had, you 237 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:31,599 Speaker 1: hope that that's not the case where guys have to 238 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,319 Speaker 1: step in and start at the receiver position. But he 239 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 1: wants to work guys in. He believes in a rotation 240 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 1: at wide receiver. But yeah, I mean, I'm with you. 241 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 1: When you see forty something snaps from Amari that that 242 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 1: just kind of jumps out at you. Because he has 243 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 1: been productive. I think he's getting like eighty five yards 244 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 1: a game, all right, And Rob brought up exactly what 245 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:53,079 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy said, and specifically McCarthy referenced Cedric Wilson and 246 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,319 Speaker 1: Noah Brown and specifically Cedric Wilson to get him out 247 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 1: there in order to set up what was the reverse 248 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,680 Speaker 1: pass that we saw the end of a second quarter 249 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,680 Speaker 1: that went from Cedric Wilson to Dak Prescott. So having 250 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 1: him out there kind of set that up. The reason 251 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:08,839 Speaker 1: why he put Cedric Wilson out there instead of a 252 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 1: Mari Cooper or instead of Ceedee Lamb or Michael Gallup. 253 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:15,959 Speaker 1: It was a Mari that he took out. So I 254 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 1: don't know, maybe it is the emergence of some of 255 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:22,080 Speaker 1: these other receivers that has been taking the snaps away. 256 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,319 Speaker 1: Does that play a big factor into it? Isaiah? I 257 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,559 Speaker 1: know you were pretty adamant about it being worrisome, but 258 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 1: is it maybe just because there's good, real wide receivers 259 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 1: out there as well. I think McCarthy's approach is definitely 260 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,680 Speaker 1: different than things that we've probably seen in the history 261 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 1: of the NFL. He recognizes that he you know, going 262 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 1: into if you have plans of going to the Super 263 00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 1: Bowl guys are going to get hurt, and there's a 264 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 1: high probability that you're going to lose, you know, one 265 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 1: or two of your your top dogs at the receiver positions. 266 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 1: So you need all hands on deck, and they all 267 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,319 Speaker 1: need playing time. You don't want their first playing time 268 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 1: to be when you actually absolutely need them. So I 269 00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 1: get I give him kudos in regards to make sure 270 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 1: that all those guys are prepared and rotating guys in 271 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 1: and out and giving guys a breath, But when you 272 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,680 Speaker 1: drop off forty percent of your snaps that there's something 273 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,199 Speaker 1: that's going on. I just want to make sure he's 274 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 1: on the field at the end of the game. Remember 275 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 1: last year when they were trying to clench the division 276 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 1: and he was not on the field at the end. 277 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 1: I'm not I don't know if we ever got a 278 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 1: real explanation of why that happened, because Heckman said is right. 279 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 1: You know they were trying to manage him last year. 280 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,960 Speaker 1: But manage him in the second quarter and get him 281 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 1: on the field and the fourth quarter. That's if that's 282 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 1: what you need to do. Yeah, our guys, man said 283 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 1: Wilson and Noah Brown, these guys are playing really well, right, 284 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 1: and I think to my surprise, I mean, Centric Wilson 285 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 1: is just like popping on tape. And Noah Brown has 286 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 1: done had some great catches deceptions, and also he's doing 287 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 1: a wonderful job blocking. And so obviously you don't want 288 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 1: to tilt your hand or say, you know, anytime you 289 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 1: see eighty five on the fields, it's an obvious running down. 290 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 1: So getting him in and also recognizing that Noel Brown 291 00:14:59,920 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 1: is also going to be a part of our offensive strategy, 292 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 1: I think that's a great thing, especially going down the 293 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 1: line and people getting more tape on this offense. Look, 294 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 1: it can't hurt to get those young guys and reps 295 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 1: and it's definitely paid dividends so far. Helps Cedric Wilson 296 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 1: throw a touchdown past. Of course, he was a former 297 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 1: quarterback as well. And then you have Noah Brown who 298 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 1: continues to just make key plays. He's not gonna put 299 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,280 Speaker 1: up big stat lines, but he's been making key plays 300 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 1: in that wide receiving core. Hopefully Amari Cooper, whatever he's 301 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 1: dealing with was isn't anything too serious, and he continues 302 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,480 Speaker 1: to make an impact. He's still really in the top 303 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 1: ten of receivers in the NFL and both receptions and 304 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 1: in yardage right now. So it's not like he hasn't 305 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 1: been productive this season. He's still putting up massive numbers. 306 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 1: We just hope that it continues to stay as consistent 307 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 1: as the year goes along. We're gonna step aside for 308 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 1: our first break when we come back. Oh, we've got 309 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 1: a good segment for you guys, playing looking ahead to 310 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:59,479 Speaker 1: the rest of the schedule, realistic expectations for the Cowboys, 311 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 1: and it may end up being a little bit better 312 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 1: than you'd think when we come back.

This is our final show, 351 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,639 Speaker 1: by the way, before that game. And I made the 352 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 1: mistake earlier of saying that it was we were gonna 353 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 1: have six shows. We do not have a show on Monday, 354 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 1: so that's a little unfortunate. But we do have a 355 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,680 Speaker 1: game Monday, so it's exciting in that regard. Het Harrison, 356 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 1: Rob Phillips, Isaiah stand back, I'm Kyle Yeoman's and guys, 357 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 1: the expectations are a bit doom and gloom right now 358 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 1: when it comes to the Cowboys, and we've kind of 359 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:57,000 Speaker 1: talked about it already. What are the realistic expectations with 360 00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 1: Andy Dalton as the starting quarterback following the Dak Prescott injury. 361 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,240 Speaker 1: We also don't have our starting tackles. We're starting to 362 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:08,200 Speaker 1: get healthy on defense, but even then, youre's still a 363 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,240 Speaker 1: lot of question marks on that side of the football. 364 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:16,160 Speaker 1: So realistically, expectation wise, I want to go through really 365 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 1: each part of the schedule for the rest of the year. 366 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 1: We've got eleven games left. Out of those eleven games, 367 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 1: there's only three teams that have a current winning record 368 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 1: at this moment, and that's the Cardinals, the Steelers, and 369 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,359 Speaker 1: then the Ravens coming up later on in the season 370 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,440 Speaker 1: as well. Cowboys have the second easiest schedule in the 371 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:42,359 Speaker 1: NFL based off of winning percentage, only second the last 372 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:49,920 Speaker 1: vesas Raiders. What was that easiest? Huh YEA, nothing's easy 373 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 1: with this team. No, it's nothing's easy. It's not. But also, 374 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:54,960 Speaker 1: you look at the teams that you've beat. I mentioned 375 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,720 Speaker 1: the records yesterday, they're thirteen and two combined, or the 376 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 1: teams you've lost to rather our thirteen and you combine 377 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:02,400 Speaker 1: the teams you beat our o intent. So we don't 378 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 1: really know how to evaluate this team based off of comparison. 379 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:07,680 Speaker 1: We finally get a chance to do that this week 380 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:12,200 Speaker 1: with the three and two Cardinals. But do expectations really change. Heck, 381 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 1: whenever it comes to Andy Dalton as the quarterback. And 382 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 1: I know we asked that this week, but I'm talking 383 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:23,200 Speaker 1: about schedule by schedule, week by week. You know, Andy 384 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:27,639 Speaker 1: Dalton has been brought in to help in this situation 385 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 1: right here, to help the Cowboys in a tough time 386 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,680 Speaker 1: get some quality wins. That we have one of the 387 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:39,240 Speaker 1: more talented rosters in the NFL. And if you look 388 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 1: at our IR report, man, we got a who's who 389 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,680 Speaker 1: in the NFL of guys that are out for the year. 390 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 1: So it's we do the Pro Bowl, IR. It's It's 391 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,240 Speaker 1: one of those things where you just have to when 392 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 1: you wrap your head around it. And the way that 393 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,720 Speaker 1: we've been breaking down the season in quarters, and you 394 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,119 Speaker 1: look over the next four games and they have a 395 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 1: manageable uh they could come away three and one or 396 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,720 Speaker 1: with four and old and the next next three, you know, 397 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 1: next couple of games. And so I look at it 398 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:14,679 Speaker 1: and I me and Isaiah's conversation obviously about uh Andy 399 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,439 Speaker 1: Dalton and just what his skill set is. I mean, 400 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 1: when Dak Prescott and I'm look, man, I've gone five 401 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:24,200 Speaker 1: days without Dak, and I think I'm recovering right now, 402 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,200 Speaker 1: and I want to see how good I'm gonna be 403 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,880 Speaker 1: on Monday. But we can't have the expectation go from 404 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:33,159 Speaker 1: here to here with the guy that has all the 405 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 1: experience that Andy Dalton has. So I'm really excited about 406 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,119 Speaker 1: the opportunity just to see what he has on Monday 407 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,159 Speaker 1: and the way that this new Cowboys offense is going 408 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,879 Speaker 1: to function, because, like I said yesterday, man, things are 409 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,480 Speaker 1: going to be different because of what Dak's abilities gave 410 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 1: Kellen Moore from from that skill set aspect. But you know, 411 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,080 Speaker 1: we people are starting to talk about Ezekiel Elliott and 412 00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:00,920 Speaker 1: how important he is to this off It's going forward 413 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,120 Speaker 1: with Andy Dalton, but I still think that you can't 414 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 1: abandon other aspects of your offense. So look, I still 415 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:11,359 Speaker 1: have high expectations for this team, especially knowing that they 416 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 1: have some winnable games in front of him. Isaiah, do 417 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:22,639 Speaker 1: you agree? I do? I don't. I think I've spoken 418 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,639 Speaker 1: enough on this over the last few days. I'm a 419 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:29,239 Speaker 1: believer in Andy Dalton. I think that he is an 420 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 1: accomplished quarterback who is well respected in this league. Um, 421 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:36,480 Speaker 1: he came here for a vacation, and vacations over so, 422 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,440 Speaker 1: Um it's time. So it's time for him to go 423 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:41,680 Speaker 1: out there and take care of business. Uh. You know, 424 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,119 Speaker 1: Luckily they have a backup, a quarterback who's who's more 425 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 1: than capable for a discount double check, and he's gonna 426 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 1: he's gonna do with this team needs. He'll be the 427 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,399 Speaker 1: leader that this team needs. Um, he's not going to 428 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,399 Speaker 1: provide wins that that Dak. You know that he's not 429 00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 1: gonna provide any more wins that Dac would provided it 430 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:58,159 Speaker 1: had he been in a position. So I'll put it 431 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 1: that way. Um. That's but the EPs that my expectations 432 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:04,479 Speaker 1: are the saying for this team. Yeah, I mean when 433 00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 1: we talk about Kayle, you mentioned down the stretch a 434 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,160 Speaker 1: lot of teams with losing records. I mean, look, Cowboys 435 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 1: have a losing record too. Sure you have a losing record. 436 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:15,920 Speaker 1: That means there's things. You know, injuries are part of it, 437 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,720 Speaker 1: but there's things that you're not doing to win football games. 438 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:20,840 Speaker 1: So absolutely, you know, they they've got to they've got 439 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,160 Speaker 1: to be more consistent team. They've got to cut down 440 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 1: turnovers more. First and foremost, Um and clean some other 441 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 1: things up, and I thought the defense definitely took a 442 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 1: step forward to doing that against the Giants. I know 443 00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:35,240 Speaker 1: the Giants have really struggled on offense, but that's encouraging UM. 444 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:38,399 Speaker 1: And I'm I'm with Isaiah and you guys on on 445 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 1: on Andy Dalton. I think he can he can win 446 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 1: games for this team. He can put him in position 447 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 1: to win games. And I said this yesterday because this 448 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 1: division so far, what we've seen is really struggling. It's 449 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 1: not a good division at all. Uh. You know, four 450 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 1: and two, five and one doesn't seem out of the 451 00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:00,040 Speaker 1: question despite everything we've talked about, all these injuries. You 452 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,840 Speaker 1: lose your starting quarterback UM for what's expected to be 453 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 1: the season, and that's that's still out in front of you. 454 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,159 Speaker 1: So if you're able to do that, then you need 455 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 1: to just steal a couple of games potentially division and 456 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,360 Speaker 1: maybe eight and eight wins this division. I absolutely think 457 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 1: that's possible. So to me closer to a pick or 458 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,200 Speaker 1: the Paper Bowl, I still say the Super Bowl, I 459 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:31,359 Speaker 1: absolutely think they have it at least get into Yeah. 460 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 1: I don't think there's any question is this. Does anybody 461 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 1: out here think that they're not going to make the playoffs. Well, 462 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:40,159 Speaker 1: I don't know for sure, but but I think they 463 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 1: definitely have a shot. I mean, I think I think 464 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,359 Speaker 1: it's down to them in Philly, whichever team can can 465 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:48,880 Speaker 1: kind of just strap it up and be somewhat consistent. Yeah, 466 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,040 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't I don't believe that this team 467 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 1: doesn't make the playoffs. I mean, I don't think that's 468 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:55,440 Speaker 1: a discussion, at least not from my perspective. Now. They may, 469 00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:57,680 Speaker 1: they may fumble the ball a number of times in 470 00:24:57,720 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 1: the process and not have a great record, but they 471 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 1: they sneak into the playoffs simply because because of the 472 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 1: matters that you guys are referring to it. That's this 473 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 1: division is absolutely completely terrible. But that's what they're banking 474 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 1: on is a terrible division. Not necessarily, we shouldn't be 475 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 1: we shouldn't have to be talking about how bad the 476 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,159 Speaker 1: division is for us to get where we want to 477 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 1: get to versus our actual production on the field. Sure, 478 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,960 Speaker 1: but as bad as bad as our as bad as 479 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 1: the teams are in the NFC East, our defense is 480 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:30,159 Speaker 1: as bad as there is nail. We are on a 481 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 1: history making pace to finish above with the twenty and 482 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:37,400 Speaker 1: twelve New Orleans Saints, and so that's not good company. 483 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 1: And so whatever we do, if we have any success, 484 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,359 Speaker 1: it's gonna be because we're able to get some functionality 485 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 1: on defense and get some stops, turnovers, things like that. 486 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,840 Speaker 1: But you know, I think it's wrong to to really 487 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,480 Speaker 1: lower the expectations to say, all right, well, yeah, we're 488 00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 1: in the top five, we're in the draft, baby, so 489 00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:59,360 Speaker 1: let's start doing that. I think the roster is way 490 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:03,359 Speaker 1: too talent for that. But I am I am guys 491 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 1: looking going to be looking at how much Andy Dalton 492 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 1: is throwing the ball. I just think that if you 493 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 1: have him on a pitch count of forty forty five 494 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,200 Speaker 1: passes a game, I think that's a recipe for a disaster, 495 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,879 Speaker 1: especially with our offensive line. So those are some of 496 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 1: the things that I'm looking for. And like you've alluded to, also, 497 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:24,719 Speaker 1: Rob is the turnovers man. That turnovers are killing us, 498 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,920 Speaker 1: and it was killing us before Dak got hurt. We 499 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:32,879 Speaker 1: have to get that under control. You mentioned having Andy 500 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,119 Speaker 1: Dalton on a pitch count, and you and I actually 501 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,159 Speaker 1: had this conversation last night. For those of you who 502 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 1: don't know outside of the show, heck, May and I 503 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:42,120 Speaker 1: do play by playing color for Frisco. I st football 504 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,120 Speaker 1: games and stuff throughout the week, and we have fun 505 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 1: on Thursdays and Fridays, but we have Cowboys conversations in 506 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 1: that booth as well. And one of the conversations was 507 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:51,920 Speaker 1: Heck said, you don't want Andy Dalton throwing the ball 508 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:55,400 Speaker 1: forty times, which is a conversation we've had with Dak Prescott, 509 00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 1: and I decided to look up his record. If he 510 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,240 Speaker 1: threw the ball forty times, He's done it thirty two 511 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:04,960 Speaker 1: times in his career, and in his career he's had 512 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:09,119 Speaker 1: six wins out of those thirty two games. That whenever 513 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,440 Speaker 1: he throws the ball forty times. Now, of course that's 514 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,480 Speaker 1: going to be a skewed number, just based off the 515 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,040 Speaker 1: fact that you usually throw the ball whenever you're behind, 516 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 1: and he was on a couple of really bad te 517 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:20,639 Speaker 1: in Cincinnati, so that's gonna be skewed a little bit. 518 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,440 Speaker 1: But six wins out of thirty two tries isn't necessarily 519 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:26,479 Speaker 1: anything that bodes well for an air raid attack, at 520 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,119 Speaker 1: least with what we could be seeing moving forward. Now 521 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,080 Speaker 1: looking at the rest of this schedule, and you go 522 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,320 Speaker 1: down the list, the Cardinals on Monday night, will give 523 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:36,680 Speaker 1: our prediction coming up in a little bit. Then you 524 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 1: have Washington Philly both on the road, so you get 525 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:43,480 Speaker 1: both of those teams at home later on in the season. 526 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:45,800 Speaker 1: And you've got the Steelers at home, the Vikings on 527 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:50,440 Speaker 1: the road, Washington at home, Ravens on the road. Any 528 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 1: of those games stick out as one where either you 529 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 1: could drop it when you're supposed to win it, or 530 00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,480 Speaker 1: one that you're supposed to lose but you might actually 531 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:04,800 Speaker 1: sneak one out, or uh isaam nah. I think it's 532 00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:08,000 Speaker 1: pretty I'm sorry, I'm looking up at my calendar right here. 533 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:12,000 Speaker 1: My schedule pretty clean all the way through, right I. 534 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,440 Speaker 1: I think you're you're three and three. You're hopeful to 535 00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:19,680 Speaker 1: be three and three, okay, in six games you're saying 536 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,120 Speaker 1: a loss to the Vikings, a loss to the Steelers, 537 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:26,480 Speaker 1: and a loss to the Cardinals kind of and the 538 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:28,960 Speaker 1: Ravens and the Ravens, so four losses, yeah, let me 539 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,400 Speaker 1: go ahead, the extra loss and four losses there. Yeah, 540 00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,200 Speaker 1: I think you win all your divisional games. And Rob, 541 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 1: that's another thing. Rob did mention four and two and 542 00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:38,760 Speaker 1: five and one in terms of the division. Is it 543 00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 1: possible to see six and oh still though I don't, 544 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 1: I'm I'm you know, I think I think five and 545 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,040 Speaker 1: one is like way up on the on the on 546 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 1: the smelly stickers side, like and they you know, asking 547 00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 1: a team. You know, look they have they have done 548 00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:02,160 Speaker 1: a lot of things to hurt themselves in these games. 549 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,520 Speaker 1: So when you're talking about can they win five of six, 550 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:06,800 Speaker 1: like that's being generous. It really is, especially with the 551 00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 1: injuries they're dealing with. But all these division games are 552 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,720 Speaker 1: always toss ups. Doesn't really matter, you know, the game, 553 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,480 Speaker 1: the game we just saw was a toss up. But 554 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 1: I do think they still have talent and they still 555 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,479 Speaker 1: have When you still have a quarterback that you can 556 00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 1: rely on, it gives you an opportunity. And we talked 557 00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,880 Speaker 1: about look, Dalton Wentz, they're still the best quarter the 558 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:31,280 Speaker 1: best quarterbacks in the division. So that's why I put 559 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:33,640 Speaker 1: them in that category of having a shot. But to 560 00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:35,960 Speaker 1: your question, Kyle, like this game right here is a 561 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,880 Speaker 1: perfect example what you're talking about. Like they it's a 562 00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 1: winnable game, but there are things that trouble you two 563 00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:45,360 Speaker 1: in terms of the matchups. So this is a total 564 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:47,720 Speaker 1: swing game for me as well. And there's other ones 565 00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 1: kind of like that. You know, you know there's teams 566 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 1: like Philly has been good and they've been not so good. 567 00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,280 Speaker 1: San Francisco looked like you can maybe chalk that up 568 00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:58,680 Speaker 1: to an l They got smoked by Miami a couple 569 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,200 Speaker 1: of weeks ago. So it's really it's really hard to know. 570 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,800 Speaker 1: I heck mc kept saying it. I agree. I mean, 571 00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,400 Speaker 1: if you take care of the ball, you give yourself 572 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,640 Speaker 1: a chance and what's probably gonna be a lot of 573 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 1: one score games. And you know, I'm really excited about 574 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:17,160 Speaker 1: to see Andy Dalton versus his old AFC North foes. 575 00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:20,080 Speaker 1: I mean, he knows, he knows the Steelers defense, he 576 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:23,520 Speaker 1: knows the Ravens defense as well. So I think those 577 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,400 Speaker 1: matchups maybe we get a chance. We're still one of 578 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:28,960 Speaker 1: those or two of those. And I'm really being optimistic 579 00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:32,680 Speaker 1: on that evening. I know, I know I'm being optimistic, 580 00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:35,360 Speaker 1: but I'm I'm basing that off of his experience with 581 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:39,360 Speaker 1: those teams only, right, But the Vikings we owe the Vikings. Man, 582 00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:42,040 Speaker 1: they came into AT and T and they ran all 583 00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:44,360 Speaker 1: over us, and so I'm just looking at the Vikings 584 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:47,440 Speaker 1: game as we owe them for that one. But eight 585 00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,400 Speaker 1: and eight, seven and nine. However, you get into the tournament, 586 00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:53,320 Speaker 1: especially with the extra team and the playoffs, you just 587 00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:57,960 Speaker 1: gotta get there. They just hey, that is absolutely facts, 588 00:30:58,000 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 1: and that's all that matters. And that's what I'm saying. 589 00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:02,840 Speaker 1: They freaking willet share them, their their way. All the 590 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,200 Speaker 1: way to the dog on the playoffs is zero zero 591 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:07,160 Speaker 1: once you get to the playoffs. So that's all that 592 00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:09,720 Speaker 1: really matters. As we talk about some of these other teams, 593 00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:11,239 Speaker 1: and I know we're talking about Anie Dolton a lot, 594 00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:14,080 Speaker 1: this is these wins are not all on Antie Dolton shoulders. 595 00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,680 Speaker 1: Please let's make that clear. These are not on any 596 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:19,320 Speaker 1: Dolton shoulders. Dak Prescott was throwing the ball fifty seven 597 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 1: times a game and he wasn't winning games, right, So 598 00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,720 Speaker 1: let's let's let's be real and to say that's not 599 00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,600 Speaker 1: fair to try to put all this now on Annie 600 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:30,360 Speaker 1: Dalton when it wasn't all on Dak shoulders. He plays 601 00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:32,840 Speaker 1: a huge he plays a huge role. But unless this 602 00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,520 Speaker 1: defense starts playing better, they they're the kind of they're 603 00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:37,000 Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of games that they lose. So 604 00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:40,040 Speaker 1: if this, if this defense decides to miraculously turn things 605 00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:43,239 Speaker 1: around either starting this week, next week, or when when 606 00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:45,360 Speaker 1: Gregory gets back and all of a sudden, oh my gosh, 607 00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:47,720 Speaker 1: we got all our guys. Now, if they figure it out, 608 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:49,960 Speaker 1: then guess what, then we're having different conversations. But as 609 00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:52,560 Speaker 1: it stands right now, the way this defense has played 610 00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:55,720 Speaker 1: right now, I don't have high projections in terms of 611 00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,800 Speaker 1: what these guys can do in this in this upcoming schedule. 612 00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:00,920 Speaker 1: But they still make the play house because of a division. 613 00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,920 Speaker 1: And that's why this game is such a great test. 614 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:07,960 Speaker 1: Because we talked about all of Arizona's weapons, how versatile 615 00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:11,160 Speaker 1: they are, how you've got to be assignment sharp, how 616 00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,800 Speaker 1: the quarterback and beaching in a bunch of different ways, 617 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,120 Speaker 1: how they've got the best receiver in the league. They've 618 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:19,360 Speaker 1: got a pretty strong running game, Like this is this 619 00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:22,239 Speaker 1: is a test. If the defense stands tall and it's 620 00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:24,960 Speaker 1: productive in this game, then you got to start feeling 621 00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,920 Speaker 1: better about the rest of the schedule. Absolutely, But we 622 00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:31,000 Speaker 1: got to see it, you know, because right now it 623 00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:35,240 Speaker 1: looks like that that following the bye week game, Week 624 00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:38,640 Speaker 1: ten game against the against the Vikings, if Dalvin Cook 625 00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:40,760 Speaker 1: is back and healthy for that game, he may go 626 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:42,840 Speaker 1: for four hundred and fifty yards on the ground. I 627 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:47,680 Speaker 1: don't know. He may end up finding a way. Alexander 628 00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:49,960 Speaker 1: Madison is on my fantasy team now he may have 629 00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:53,600 Speaker 1: two and forty himself. So I think I think right 630 00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,800 Speaker 1: now you look at it, I agree, this game coming 631 00:32:56,880 --> 00:33:00,200 Speaker 1: up on Monday night is a huge benchmark game. Even 632 00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:02,600 Speaker 1: if you lose, you're not out of it. This is 633 00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:04,760 Speaker 1: not a chalk up, let's throw the season away, let's 634 00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:08,600 Speaker 1: tank for Trevor that nothing of the sword, and I 635 00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:10,640 Speaker 1: kind of hate that talk. On one end. I think 636 00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:14,360 Speaker 1: it's kind of a lazy sports opinion from media members 637 00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:17,240 Speaker 1: around the area of tanking and getting draft picks. I 638 00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,920 Speaker 1: think that's stupid. This is a talented enough team that's 639 00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,720 Speaker 1: been dealing with some injuries and has enough moving forward 640 00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:24,840 Speaker 1: to have a chance, and I think it starts this 641 00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:27,400 Speaker 1: week against the Cardinals. Now, we are going to predict 642 00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,480 Speaker 1: that game, and we've got a couple more games we're 643 00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:33,360 Speaker 1: gonna predict once we step aside.

Let's 730 00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:36,880 Speaker 1: start with the Packers and the Buccaneers. Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, 731 00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:42,520 Speaker 1: Green Bay thirty plus points, no giveaways, four straight games. 732 00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:45,239 Speaker 1: How nice it would be to have no turnovers in 733 00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:48,160 Speaker 1: this season? And heck was Since you're so anxious, we'll 734 00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:55,440 Speaker 1: let you start this one off this week. Like no, man, 735 00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:59,239 Speaker 1: that's a good one, man, because I don't know if 736 00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:01,640 Speaker 1: the bunty Aubam'm gonna play this game. He has been 737 00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:05,920 Speaker 1: really picked off about being a somewhat healthy scratch. But 738 00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:09,319 Speaker 1: I like the Packers. I don't like the defense. Um, 739 00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:17,920 Speaker 1: I've got Packers, m Okay, I gotta get a game 740 00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:20,799 Speaker 1: back from Heck, this is a this is a toss up, man, 741 00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:24,759 Speaker 1: But I Tom Brady three and three. I don't know. 742 00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:28,560 Speaker 1: If I see that, I'll take Tampa Bay at home. Okay, Isaiah, 743 00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:36,520 Speaker 1: I'm going with the discount double check, baby, discount double check. 744 00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:39,879 Speaker 1: So he's got Green Bay. I missed those commercials. Those 745 00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:42,480 Speaker 1: are great commercials. They still do a good job. Pat 746 00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:45,000 Speaker 1: mahomes is on a couple of those. I'm gonna take 747 00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:46,920 Speaker 1: Green Bay this one as well. I just think they're 748 00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:49,440 Speaker 1: too good, and I think that defense is a little underrated. 749 00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:53,120 Speaker 1: That's fantastic defense that they've gotten rolling up north. Okay, 750 00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:57,160 Speaker 1: Sday night football back on the West coast, San Francisco 751 00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:01,279 Speaker 1: hosting the La Rams l at four and one, San 752 00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:04,000 Speaker 1: Francisco at two and three and banged up a little bit. 753 00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:07,960 Speaker 1: The Rams allowed just one passing touchdown or a few 754 00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:10,440 Speaker 1: in four of their last five games. So that defense 755 00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:13,399 Speaker 1: with Jalen Ramsey and company pretty stout on that side 756 00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:15,200 Speaker 1: of the football. Who do you are actually out to 757 00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:17,040 Speaker 1: start this one? Op? Since I went last, I'm gonna 758 00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:20,000 Speaker 1: take Rams on the road, but I expect this to 759 00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:22,440 Speaker 1: be a little closer than most people have. I think 760 00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:25,000 Speaker 1: the Rams get it in a late win, much like 761 00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:28,560 Speaker 1: how kind of we saw Seattle over Minnesota this past week. 762 00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:34,480 Speaker 1: Isaiah m Who the who? The Rams playing again? San 763 00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:38,120 Speaker 1: Fra Mosco. The forty nine ers. Oh yeah, at forty 764 00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:39,920 Speaker 1: nine ers. They won't get healthy to the second half 765 00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:44,239 Speaker 1: of the season. So yeah, Rams, okay, yeah, Rams, Rams 766 00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:48,000 Speaker 1: for me? Also thanking Aaron Donald rams defense has just 767 00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:50,279 Speaker 1: asked you right now, I'll take the rams la are 768 00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:54,800 Speaker 1: across the board for everybody. Okay, moving onto the first 769 00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:57,480 Speaker 1: leg of Monday night doubleheader. I kind of like these 770 00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:00,839 Speaker 1: Monday night doubleheaders, by the way, Cowboy on the second leg, 771 00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:02,640 Speaker 1: of course, and we'll predict the game coming up here 772 00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:05,720 Speaker 1: in just a minute. However, there's two four and one teams, 773 00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:09,760 Speaker 1: two really good teams coming off the losses embarrassing losses 774 00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:12,560 Speaker 1: in their own rights last week, and the Chiefs on 775 00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:16,439 Speaker 1: the road against the Bills. Kansas City has won three 776 00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:19,919 Speaker 1: of the last four matchups with Buffalo, but both teams 777 00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:23,319 Speaker 1: at four and one. Both teams was really stout young quarterbacks, Rob, 778 00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:35,080 Speaker 1: who you got? It's Pat Mahomes playing. He is playing Chiefs. 779 00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:40,400 Speaker 1: Give me the Chiefs. Okay? He no, God, where are 780 00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:47,719 Speaker 1: they playing? Where's the game movie? It's at Buffalo? Oh man, ah, 781 00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:51,400 Speaker 1: you took chief Rob. No, don't be stupid, don't go 782 00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:56,399 Speaker 1: in seas two. We thought about it, though, I did. 783 00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:02,640 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with the newly name cheat code Chiefs, right, 784 00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:06,680 Speaker 1: the cheat code Chiefs. That's that's is that just from 785 00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:08,920 Speaker 1: the Levy on Bell signing. Is that what that's from? 786 00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:15,000 Speaker 1: Your dog? Dudes are freaking theory. I don't look at Leon, 787 00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:18,480 Speaker 1: look at Levon Bell and considered a locker room cancer 788 00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:21,960 Speaker 1: and getting it up. Wow, this is amazing how that works. 789 00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:24,799 Speaker 1: You know that he can't play yet, He's probably gonna 790 00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:27,640 Speaker 1: play his first game whenever the Jets come to town, 791 00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:30,360 Speaker 1: which I think is gonna be just fantastic. Yeah, and 792 00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:33,359 Speaker 1: have an opportunity to kind of get some revenge there. 793 00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:37,239 Speaker 1: Uh man, I need to get a game back. But 794 00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:40,920 Speaker 1: it's the Chiefs and they lost last week. It's do it, 795 00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:45,279 Speaker 1: do it. They're yeah, they're not gonna lose too in 796 00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:47,120 Speaker 1: a row like you, Like you said, Heck, I'm not 797 00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:49,279 Speaker 1: gonna be dumb about this. I'm gonna pick Kansas City 798 00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:51,000 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna be pretty confident and I think that 799 00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:56,120 Speaker 1: don't uh So I'm gonna take the I'm gonna take 800 00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:59,440 Speaker 1: the Chiefs. Okay, big one Monday Night Football, send in 801 00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:02,080 Speaker 1: your pick, say it with your chest here on the 802 00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:09,600 Speaker 1: pariscope chat Cowboys Cardinals Monday Night. Andy Dalton at quarterback 803 00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:12,480 Speaker 1: for the Cowboys as really they've got to get back 804 00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:15,960 Speaker 1: on track. Andy Dalton lost four straight games on Monday 805 00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:19,399 Speaker 1: Night Football. He's two and five in his career, he's 806 00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:22,920 Speaker 1: six and twenty in primetime. But does he get a 807 00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:26,960 Speaker 1: win against the Cardinals this week? Isaiah start us off? 808 00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:33,000 Speaker 1: Oh he's lurking, he's looking into the screen. For those 809 00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:36,839 Speaker 1: of you. Andy Dalton takes care of business this week 810 00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:41,160 Speaker 1: against the Cardinals, but the Cowboys still lose. Oh no oh. 811 00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:43,440 Speaker 1: I was so excited for two seconds there and then 812 00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:47,399 Speaker 1: he just crushed all my dreams. H Well, so he's 813 00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:51,600 Speaker 1: taking I can't handle these guys. Yeah, Arizona's pretty good, okay, 814 00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:57,080 Speaker 1: Rob Yeah, man. This reminds me of the Cleveland game, 815 00:43:57,120 --> 00:44:01,040 Speaker 1: where like my head's telling me bad matchups, bad matchups, 816 00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:03,160 Speaker 1: And I paid for that pick with the Cowboys, But 817 00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:06,560 Speaker 1: I'm going Cowboys akin because I think there's something to 818 00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:10,919 Speaker 1: Dak being out, and sometimes when your leader is out, 819 00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:14,520 Speaker 1: you focus up a little bit more. And I think 820 00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:16,600 Speaker 1: they're gonna play cleaner. I think they're gonna play better 821 00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:18,840 Speaker 1: in this game. And the thing that makes me feel 822 00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:21,560 Speaker 1: a little bit better about the matchup is the Cardinals 823 00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:23,359 Speaker 1: have a problem taking care of the ball too. Yes, 824 00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:25,799 Speaker 1: So if the Cowboys can just be a little bit 825 00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:27,719 Speaker 1: better in that regard, I think they can win the 826 00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:29,880 Speaker 1: game at home, but it's gonna be close. I'll go 827 00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:34,600 Speaker 1: twenty eight twenty seven Cowboys. Do you want to go first? 828 00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:36,120 Speaker 1: You want me to go first, because I'll let you. 829 00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:37,960 Speaker 1: I'll leave it for you to be last if you 830 00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:46,440 Speaker 1: want no uncle now it's uh, just just a reminder. Hegma. Uh. 831 00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:55,600 Speaker 1: This is kind of Murray's homecoming. It is so since 832 00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:59,920 Speaker 1: since oh seven, since oh seven, the Cowboys backup quarterba 833 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:04,080 Speaker 1: acts have been seven and twenty. That's not good. And 834 00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:07,879 Speaker 1: our defense is it is what it is. You see 835 00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:10,160 Speaker 1: him every every Sunday, so you know what they are. 836 00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:14,480 Speaker 1: And Dak is not gonna play another snap for the 837 00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:18,640 Speaker 1: Cowboys this year. And I think the whole city is 838 00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:22,239 Speaker 1: hurting because of it. But I'm putting my force up 839 00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:27,480 Speaker 1: for Monday. We are glory to get a victory. Everybody's 840 00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:29,239 Speaker 1: telling us that Colin Murray's gonna come in here and 841 00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:31,080 Speaker 1: do his little leprechn dance and he likes him do 842 00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:34,320 Speaker 1: and the end zone it's not going to happen. Finally, 843 00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:37,920 Speaker 1: we are going to see this defense rise up. D 844 00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:41,680 Speaker 1: law Ever, Si Griffin, I'm gonna even call out done 845 00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:45,600 Speaker 1: Terry Poe Dog. They on your back, Big Poe. They 846 00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:48,640 Speaker 1: on your back. We get LV back, hopefully this week. 847 00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:53,400 Speaker 1: Jaylen Smith, come on, guys, stop making me look so 848 00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:58,560 Speaker 1: bad on this show. Cowboys win, Man, Cowboys win versus Murray. 849 00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:03,200 Speaker 1: Oh lord, I'll pulled it out. I made it. Yeah, 850 00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:08,320 Speaker 1: I'm I'm with both Rob and heckma here where the 851 00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:11,960 Speaker 1: head says no, but the guts says yes. I think 852 00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:15,160 Speaker 1: the Cowboys are about to start a run. And we 853 00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:18,160 Speaker 1: talked about the schedule coming up here in the next 854 00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:23,719 Speaker 1: couple of weeks, Washington, Philly, Pittsburgh, Minnesota, Washington. I think 855 00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:25,760 Speaker 1: you have a chance to win a lot of games 856 00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:28,560 Speaker 1: coming up pretty soon, and I think this is where 857 00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:31,560 Speaker 1: it starts. I think you might get if Layton vander 858 00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:33,880 Speaker 1: esh is back in the fold, I think this defense 859 00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:35,960 Speaker 1: will play much better. I think Jalen Smith will be 860 00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:38,520 Speaker 1: able to back up what was his best game since 861 00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:41,480 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen in last week's win against the Giants. So 862 00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:44,879 Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the Cowboys in this one just off 863 00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:48,000 Speaker 1: of a gut feeling. I've got that gut feeling. It's 864 00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:50,880 Speaker 1: not the bubble guts. It's a little exciting because I 865 00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:53,120 Speaker 1: just think the defense is coming together and I think 866 00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:55,480 Speaker 1: this is the carbonating gut show it. Yeah, maybe that's 867 00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:59,120 Speaker 1: what it is. Yeah, so it's carbonating guts. It's working 868 00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:01,239 Speaker 1: its way toward bubble. Yeah, it's working its way toward 869 00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:03,719 Speaker 1: the bubble. But I'm gonna take. I'm gonna take the 870 00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:06,360 Speaker 1: Cowboys and hopefully we'll be handed out plenty of smelly 871 00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:10,600 Speaker 1: stickers coming up on Monday night and Tuesday morning as 872 00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:14,600 Speaker 1: the Cowboys hopefully get a win against Arizona. So that's 873 00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:17,799 Speaker 1: gonna do it here for Talking Cowboys, I'm glad you're 874 00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:20,919 Speaker 1: with us over the last five weeks. We'll be back 875 00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:24,640 Speaker 1: on Tuesday, following up the game on Monday night.
