Cowboys Break: Final Picks

so let's just get right into it. Who was at practice? Who wasn't? What are these guys looking like? Everybody but Anthony Brown and Joe Looney was at practice today, which I guess that sucks for Joe because I guess that means his back injury is not great. But all of those hurt Pro bowlers were practicing today. So that's Cooper, Tyron Smith, Lyle Collins, Randall, cop Byron Jones all there. What does this mean that plan? Well, we hope you

hope they play. There's no way to speak unilaterally about that. We'll keep an eye on the injury report. I guarantee you it'll say questionable for most of those guys. Out of those starters. Who would be the one, like, who would be the one that most likely would not be able to go this weekend? I it seems it seems like it goes back and forth. Like I've heard some you know, some people are like, oh, Lyle is gonna play,

but Tyron can't. Tyrn's gonna play, but Lyle can't. Um. I'd say Cooper would be the one that I think maybe not yeah, because and that's another one, because him saying I feel good, Like yeah, I thought he said that last week and it took three plays for him not to feel good and not to play anymore. So he that would be the one. It's a combination of the quad. They ain't cold at foot. Yeah, I think the majority of them will be out there. I mean,

take that for what it's worth. That I don't there's no way to speak confidently about this forty eight hours before they actually kick off the game. UM. Sorry, but I think, oh, I can't really do an actives right, well, I mean we can. You can try your best. I mean, my gut, I think says I think Randall Cobb's gonna play. I think one of the tackles will play. I think Byron Jones will play. Um, I think Joe Looney won't play, So that's one. Yeah. I mean Adam Redman is now.

I mean he's your he would be active and probably be your backup center, right Adam Redman. Yeah, I mean if Joe can't go, that rhymes, if Joe can't go, then I would say Redman's probably active. Yeah, and he's the backup. Nobody else plays center, right true? Yeah, So okay, well Looney or Redman, there's one I would say. Okay, I mean to try to do this. Yeah, it's it's hard because you've got what about Dorin's armstrong, what's been his He's got a he had a stinger. He was

out there today. I think he was out. I mean he's been out there in a limited capacity all weeks, so that's always a good sign. Um, I think the new guy will be inactive. You know if if everybody else is, um, Justin Hamilton's sorry, if if everybody else is ready to go, I don't know if you need him because you got Covington, Malik, Um, Triston Hill, and I would like to think Triston Hill will be better than Justin Hamilton. That's what. Yeah, able to play in

this game. Yeah, I would hope. That would be really bad. If Hamilton, who's not on a team comes in and he plays, Yeah, that would be bad. He's inactive, I would go. I would hope. So, so Hamilton's out and Looney's out, Anthony Brown is out. I think Luke Gifford will probably be down for this game. Assuming one of, if not both of the receivers are up, then you're

probably sitting a receiver. Maybe I wouldn't sit too, though, I would try not to sit now, you guys, because with those guys banged up, I mean at least one, Yeah, I keeps Cedric Wilson up and maybe Devin Smith down. Yeah, yes again, which you know that bid him last week. But again like somebody's gotta sit so and and that

was Cop and Cooper were hurting that. So if one of them comes back, you would think, um, well, given those does that get And then and then one of the offensive tack if I had to guess, I think one of the offensive tackles will sit. So that's an inactive too, Yeah, that's right. Or Bran or Lyle Collins or Tyrann Smith. I mean I can't I don't feel confident that they're both gonna play. Yeah, this is a tough week to figure out the inactus on a Friday.

But given these guys, the ones that are injured, and you having a good idea of okay, this guy might might not play. What what would be the area of biggest concern when it comes to the Cowboys and then playing this weekend? To me, it's the it's the you're saying just across the board and across them. I would say that can they get them blocked somehow, some way? Can they get these guys block because you know the Eagles are going to bring a lot of pressure. They

they're dynamic in the way that they rushed. They had ten sacks on the Jets, you know, which everybody should get ten sacks on the Jets, right, and the Cowboys actually couldn't even get more than two, couldn't get any steady pressure. So the Eagles are doing it right when it comes to rushing, and I think that they got to make sure they get that blocked with all the banged up injuries that they have. I bet you'll see a lot of blitzes this week because the blitz has

worked last week. I think I said this yesterday. If I could only have Tyrn or Cooper for this game, I'd take Cooper because the Eagles did have ten sacks against the Jets. They definitely have talent, but they've it's a lot like the Cowboys. It's they've struggled to get home. I think they have fourteen on the season, and ten of those came against the Jets. So I mean that gives you an idea that they're not terrorizing people the way they'd probably prefer. I don't think the offensive tackles

the reason why they've lost either of these games. Like I've said that too, you know, like this isn't an Atlanta situation where your tackles just cannot handle the opposing pass rush. But I worry. You know, they're good against the run, and we saw what it looked like without Cooper last week. Like, I don't trust that they have enough explosive playmakers to hurt the Eagles secondary. If Cooper can't play in this game. You would like to think Gallup can step up, but feel a lot better if

Cooper could go. So that's what I worry about, is finding guys that can make plays downfield, because that's how you're going to win this game. Yeah. Now, I want to try to get through some of the questions that fans have been sending in before we get into game day predictions and all of that. So one of them being is Jordan Lewis and his participation for this game. I know we kind of talked about him earlier this week.

I don't know if it was yesterday, but what are your expectations with Bargron coming back in and being able to play and all that. What do you see Jordan's role being this week? Nickel Back? Uh, this is how you remind me of what I really am. This is how you remind me of being a playmaker. Why did I say that that was stupid? I think he's gonna be the starting Nickel with Anthony Brown sitting out, and it's an opportunity for him to do something with it.

They sing that song. Yeah, but you know, I mean they all all those bands run together. To me, I don't know. Oh well, I mean they do nickel Back and cold Play and all that. I don't know. I we don't have to turn this into a music procast, but Arrowsmith and I'm taking it to another decade. I don't sounds like it nickel Back, they were bad Canadian band. And it will also be Jordan Lewis's job against the Eagles. Nelson Agilore deal with it. I'm I'm excited to see

him get an opportunity. Hopefully he keeps going the way that. I mean, you know, limited spots, but he's played well for two years now and now he's gonna I mean, he should play fifty sixty whatever snaps. I mean, he's basically a starter this week. Yeah. I mean when you think about all the guys that have been active at corner, I mean, they basically have five corners if you count Goodwin and so now with Brown out, and I don't

think they're gonna. I wouldn't anybody. I wouldn't be shocked if Donovan Olumba finds his way on the fifty three for this game. Will be cutting Luke Gifford. Uh, they get Luke Gifford the whole tre Okay, he wasn't cut one of those guards now, because you know he was doing special teams work at practice. That's all I'm saying. And I think you know they think the world of C. J. Goodwin, but do they want him to have to cover people if it comes to that. I don't know. I don't

know this for sure. I'm just spitballing here. But with Brown banged up and again, you know, God Heaven forbid, you get into a situation where Byron, you know, chases a receiver down the field for the first time, and it's like, I can't do this. Yeah, I just it wouldn't surprise me. I don't know for sure, but I think they might feel better having that in the back pocket. Just something to watch tomorrow afternoon. Water. I'd tell you who I would I would cut is, I'd cut the

defensive tackle, the new guy. Yeah he's been on the street for six weeks. Yeah, but he hasn't and he's he I don't believe he's subject to waivers at this point. And even if he is, whatever, Yeah, that's possible too. I mean, he'd he'd be my guy to just that's that's fair. That sounds like the best option if you got to cut it. Something something to watch. They haven't done a lot of that this year because they haven't

need to. But desperate times call for desperate measures. You might you might want that security blanket with two banged up cornerbacks. Well, planing to the whole injury situation. Here's another question, is the lack of play action motions in different plays coming from the fact that they're lacking personnel due to injuries, especially at white receiver and tackle position. I heard a lot of people say, you know the stat that's going around as they've dropped, they've it's cut

in half. How much they're doing play action and stuff like that the first three weeks as opposed to the second, and people have responding like, well, of course they're falling behind by multiple scores. I don't buy that at all, because they're still running the ball. They ran it all through the second half of that game, and the numbers will show you, like, the run doesn't have to be working for play action to work. Now, trusting your tackles

to protect your quarterback, that's important, It definitely is. But I mean there's more than one way to skin a cat, right. That's a saying like, you can do faster developing play action. You can do play action that gets your quarterback moving and thereby protects him from the pass rush, like Dak throws so well on the move. I would love to see some play action like that, like boot action something that gets the pocket moving and gets Dak's feet moving.

There's more ways to do that than just fake the hand off to the running back coming out of the backfield, drop back and sit and wait. Like, I mean, that's cool when you have protection, but you don't have to do it that way. So I don't necessarily buy that. I just think they haven't wanted to do it. Yeah, I agree, And especially when you saw it working. That is one of the elements that we, or at least me I keep seeing, is they were doing things that worked for the offense and then all of a sudden

this past few games, it's like they disappeared. And I have read of it. I get it. Yeah, I mean, the circumstances dictate what you can do to a point, and falling into two and three score holes is never good. But like, doesn't it kind of seem like when that like they're just like, well, we can't do that now. It's almost right. They're probably relieved, like, oh, thank god, you don't have to do anything fun now because we're

behind them. I don't buy it, Like, you don't have to just completely abandon that stuff because the game doesn't follow the script you wanted it too, because guess what, most games aren't going to follow the script you wanted it too. Yeah, now, let's take a quick break. When we come back, we'll keep answering some of these questions. Hit us at Cowboys Break on Twitter.

all Suafilo being a better guard than Connor Williams. In a scenario where we don't see a tyrant coming back or struggling still with injuries, do we see the Cowboys actually moving Connor to tackle and then plugging in Xavier Swatfilo as a guard. I think, you know, I mean, I thought if that was going to happen, it would have happened last week with Brandon Knight and Cam Fleming playing. I thought that meano, maybe with Cam not playing very well well, right, but I thought I thought that might

be a situation. We're saying, let's let's put Connor out there at tackle and then you know, you can still maybe have your best five available. But they haven't done that, so I don't know if Connor actually played well at tackle when he was out there for like a week or a few practices last week or two weeks ago, so I don't think that's something they want to do

right now. And signing lie L to a long, long term deal suggests that Connor is here to stay at guard, and so they're going to keep him regardless of Cam's performance. If he was having to be out there replacing Tyron, I would imagine Brandon Knight's a better tackle than Connor Williams right now probably, And so if that happened, it's it's Friday of game week and we haven't seen or heard anything that suggests that they're shuffling it. So I

just assume they're not going to. Yeah, I don't think not, I mean not right now. If if these guys Connor's got his own issues and guard, like I mean, you know, it's easy to look at it and go, well, he's not as strong, but he's athletics, so he could play tackle theory theoretically, yes, but not in like Dave said in a short, you know, and like on the fly,

I don't think that's happening. That's why and I'm I don't know if that would happen, but that's why you see stuff like that happened during the bye week, because it gives you more time to work at it from a physical and a mental standpoint. Yeah, Now here's a question of a guy that you have talked about, Dave Jamis alawally in the way that they're utilizing him. Can you please try to put some sense into why they're now using him? And I can't because they I mean

they even did at the beginning of the season. You know, he was running, he was running wheel routes. You know, they tried, they took a shot to him against the Giants. He seemed like he was out there a lot. I mean, for a fullback, you know you're not going to get one hundred percent of the snaps, but he was out there. And I don't I don't begrudge fans who think there's

some type of conspiracy theory. I don't believe it, but I get why you feel that way, because, yeah, like there are just elements of this thing that look different. They're not they're not using twenty one personnel, they're not doing it with Jamay's and they're not doing with Tony pollard. Um. I don't have a good answer for you as to why that is, but maybe because all the production they're getting it tied in and then you don't need him sarcasm. Yeah,

I wasn't sure. I was like, is he messing with me right now? Well, you know, I would be one thing if like Schultz was making a lot of catch but you're like, you need that part of your Like he kind of plays like a like a tight end

sort of. I mean he could he could, you know, make some some catches out there like that, And it really does you know it Like I said it before the break, like it kind of feels like, you know, when things don't go their way and they find themselves in an adverse situation, it's like, let's get back to what we know, Like, let's just do what's safe, which has pound the rock with Zeke and you know, try to take the occasional shot to Cooper or whichever receivers

out there. And you know, and people want to pin that on Jason Garrett, and I mean you can if you want to. He gets paid handsomely to put up with stuff like that. Like I said, I don't know if I buy it. I mean, Kelly Moore has got a role in this thing, and you can't call him the wonder boy when they're rolling after three weeks and just blame it all on Garrett when when they're three and three, but there's very little doubt in my like

this offense has there's they're still putting up yards. I mean, there's still like top five in the league, but they it just doesn't look as creative as it did in the winning street. And it's so frustrating to me when I hear, you know, fans saying, oh, well, clearly Jason Garrett is stepping in and having to say, I'm like, why would your ruin things when clearly Kennon Moore was doing well in the first three weeks and then why all of a sudden Jason want to step in and

starting stepping in? Because I actually was down there at the very end of the game when they were scoring that touchdown a two point conversion. I was actually right behind them because they were moving down and yeah, we were there together, and I actually saw Jason Garrett say hey, hey, hey, like four times to Kellen Moore, who was like in the middle of like calling play, and he was like trying to get his attention and didn't and he had to call the play. They don't have a lot of time.

I don't think he's actually stepping in. Not at that point. I think he was trying to point out something, but it was it wasn't getting across. So team looks bad. You need to scapegoat. Most Cowboys fans have been frustrated by Bason Garrett, even in the good times, and that's a natural result of him. Like I said, like, I don't feel sorry for him. He's paid super duper well to be that lightning rod. But I don't buy that it's just magically Garrett's fault when things aren't going well

and Kellen Moore's genius when they are. Yeah, now here's a guy that had a pretty decent preseason and people are now asking about him and for him, want to see him playing more. Donovan Wilson, yep, what's up with him? Any expectations of us actually watching him getting some playing time? Not really? And that you know what, I'll eat some crow here. I mean, I still don't think Jeff Heath is as bad as a lot of people want to

paint him to be. But my whole thing was okay, but you know, they're not giving up ninety two yard touchdowns and that's the risk you run with a rookie who doesn't know what he's doing out there, Like that's why you don't put a rookie in that situation. But if the veteran starters are giving those up, then what do you have to lose? Like that? Yeah, that's unacceptable from the safety position, Like that's you're saving grace. Even if you're not great, if you don't get turnovers and

don't make crazy plays, you're saving grace. Is well, he's not just giving up chunk plays that put the defense in a bind. Well, that happened last week and it can't. Um. You know, I'm not calling for anybody to get benched yet, but if it keeps up, then yeah, I'd be down to try something else. Yeah, Like what do you have to lose at that point? Exactly? Like like I said,

like that's the one thing. You're like, well, they don't do this, this and this, but at least you're not just zipping down the field on a ninety two yard broken play. Well, it happened last night. I mean, Donovan Wilson did all that stuff in the preseason games in second half and all that. But you know, who's to say he wouldn't do it if you if you put him out there, I mean playmakers or playmakers and so, um, you know, I think he's he's warranted that from what

we've seen. But you got to remember too, like the coaches know things as well. They know what what you know, where he's lacking if I think that if they if he if he had showed them that he could play at any at any point, they wouldn't have kept Cavan Fraser and all that stuff. Like, I know he was banged out, but they see some things too, and he might he might have some good plays on their board,

but I guarantee he's got some others. But they've also you know what, he's been back from that ankle injury since week yeah three, that's that's three weeks worth of practice where they have him on film and necessarily trust work. And it's always the whole thing that you say, Nick, it's like, Okay, we may be seeing something, but is that specifically something that the coaching have asked of him

to do? You know, we don't really know, No, they know, but they do ask players to get turnovers and get the ball, makes some plays, and he's done that as well as anybody, so he's not far off. Well, let's take our final break when we come back, we're gonna get into game day predictions for this weekend against the Eagles. Their new apartment's big, such a great deal.

So welcome Derek. Nice with you, Thanks for having Mary. Yeah, of course, now to welcome you. Please get this started. Tell me how the Cowboys are going to beat the Eagles this weekend and what's the final score? Man? How are they going to beat the Eagles? Can you tell me yet? Who's gonna play? We sort of went over that you're kind of late to the party. I know. I'm like saying, like I need to know that before some of the hurt guys will be back, and we

just aren't one hundred percent sure which, so take your pick. Yeah, if I had to guess, I'm think I'm gonna get that most of those guys are not gonna play. I think most of them will think more. I think more of will player than not. I will say this. Last week, at this time, we were saying one of the two tackles was going to play in neither one of them. You are right, So I think there's a level of think I get that, But I'm saying I think there's a level of optimism that we're all operating on here

that right now I'm not willing to operate on. So that being said, my suspicion or my guests for my how I'm looking at this is I do think I get one of the tackles back. I'm not betting on Amari. I know he's out there limited. I'm not betting on that, but maybe he plays. So all that being said, I think that the Cowboys ultimately gonna have to win this

game on defense if they're gonna win it. And I've been waiting for them to get a game this like like that this year where this defense doesn't have a choice but to step up to win a game. I think they played that kind of game against the Orlands. They just didn't win it. But that's how the Cowboys, I think have to win this game. If it ends up being as you and I Day said earlier this week, like we thought it was gonna be, which is the thirty four plus point game on either side, both sides,

then you know that's how it's gonna play. I don't. I don't think the Cowboys win that kind of game if if all those guys are missing on the offensive side of the ball. So I think the defense is gonna have to play extremely well and that's how they win the game. Sorry to come back to me on the pick. Wow, Okay, come back to me on the pick. I still gotta I still gotta think about that. So Cowboys win because of the defense. No, that's how they win.

I'm not sure if I'm ready to say they're going nick. I think Gamari plays, I think Tyran plays, I think Leo plays. I think the you know, I said it in the Saints game. I didn't feel comfortable picking them, but I was like, you got to show me that you're not able to win games before I start, you know, start picking you. And then I still did it and they lost to the Jets. So Eagles twenty seven, Cowboys twenty three. I think those guys play. I don't think

it'll be enough. I hope I'm wrong, but I think the Eagles will win because just like we're waiting for the Cowboys to come together, I think the Eagles are going to try to come together too, And you know, I just I don't have a good feeling about it. Twenty seven, twenty three, Philly. I'm gonna preface this by saying that I absolutely loathed myself. I really do, because like all week, I was like, they lost to the Jets. They're no way, I'm not the falling for this again.

Prove it to me. Do this, do that. Everybody's hurt. And I was sitting at practice watching Tying and Lyle, you know, practice their steps and watching Cooper on the jugs machine, and I was just like, these guys are gonna play and they're gonna win. That's just they are, because that's the type of stupid to pull you back in. And I was like, I'm like, Amari's gonna play, and he's gonna this secondaries trash. Cobb will probably really help against this trash secondary too. I think only one of

the tackles will play. I don't think they both play, but I think it's enough I'm not you know, they're not gonna play like this amazing game, but this is a bad Eagle secondary Dak has a history of balling out against these guys, especially at home. Desperate team theory comes into play, you know, backs against the Wall and all that stupid stuff. And we talked. You know, Jason Garrett has a habit of pulling these games out of his hat. He just does what he comes back to low. Yeah,

he's Michael Myers. He's gonna sit up and grab the kitchen knife and here we go again. So I just I don't like they've given me every reason to pick them to lose, and they really have, and the fact that I'm about to pick them to win pisses me off. But it's just the type of thing that this team does. And I do think it'll be a track meet, but having Cooper will help and they'll win thirty one to twenty seven. And I hate that that just came out of my mouth. But here we are. We heard anything

about de Shawn Jackson is not expected to play. I expected to play. Okay, So I know how I'm going to pick this. I think the Cowboys will win, but I think it will be a low scoring game. I think they win this game sixteen twelve. I think it's gonna I think it's gonna be one of those kind of games where we're all just kind of like, Okay, somebody gonna score, like what are we doing here? But I honestly think that's the kind of game the Cowboys have to play in order to win this game. I

don't think. I just I have a hard time thinking even if Amory does play, have a hard time thinking he is going to be his normal self. The amount of pain that he said he was in last week for him to immediately think I can't do this, it's hard to think that a week later he's somehow in good enough shape where he's able to run as usual and be able to play as usual. So that all being said, I think this is a I think it's

a slow scoring game. I think the defense finally shows up and plays the game that people have been expecting them to play, holds them the twelve points. Cowboys get a sixteen twelve win. Okay, this is tough. It's a tough weekend, just you know what. Like in my head, I'm like, if they make me look like an idiot again, I'll have a week to stew on it and we can like reassess the season from there. Part of this is I'm just praying I don't have to sit on a two week stint of just this a four game

losing streak and just two weeks. Have to just listen to that and hear that, and it's like, that's just I don't want to to do it. If they get some of these guys back, they're good enough to win this game. Like I still, resolutely, I still think they're a good team. They're just them having these guys on the field. That's not true. Amari Cooper was there for three plays like that was big, That was okay. I'm not just talking about this past game. I'm talking about

previous games where you did have Amari Cooper. Even when Michael Gallup came back and you had him and Amari. It just still they haven't been healthful much together enough to where the Lamber call it, call it it's got a nice little fifty fifty split here. Listen, that's how

I feel. But but, but but I cannot find myself freaking picking the Eagles to win against the I cannot stand the Eagles and ag is gonna be the maddest one of all in the press bo when they're trailing twenty four to thirteen in the fourth click and already to see it walking to the elevator to go down for post game, and that look on her face like yeah, and she's just like that little smirk like these guys, yeah, I probably deserve If they lose, they probably deserve it.

So I always deserve it, right, Well true, But like you know, like I'm glad you had the guts to pick. Well, you know, I don't love picking against them, but if one person or one coach comes up to me and says anything about it, I picked you all to beat the Jets by fifteen l could beat the Packers you lost by double digits. I picked you to beat the Samets. So, like you know, like I said, all the Patriots, they will beat the Patriots. I think will win against the Patriots.

Does that count? Can we? That's from now? I like the dub on that one. But because I said before, they probably got beat by the Lions. Honestly, I would have no problem picking against them in this game, because they've done everything to deserve to get picked against, And to be honest, with if this game was being played in Philadelphia, I would be picking Philadelphia. The fact that it's at home is one of the reasons why I believe the Cowboys can get the edge on what's going

to be, in my opinion, an ugly game. So you base a lot of things up on the stadium, the crowd, noise, the weather, the lighting, all that stuff matters. I'm I'm trying to do this off the time, especially with average teams. Go ahead and they I mean these games, they show up well in these games. They played well, you know the Crazy game last year. They got brutalized in seventeen, but they were missing a bunch of people. Sixteen, they played well in fifteen they lost. You know what. Also,

the Eagles play well in these games. Yeah. Yeah, that's what scares me about it. You know, he's sitting here and talk about it long enough, I'll talk myself out of it. But that's also where I think both these teams. I think both these teams, their defenses can be really good if they can get going. And so if you get into that mindset of okay, both these teams are reeling, and if you're going to get one of their units really going if their defenses get going. This could be

one of those kind of games. So you pick thirty one twenty seven, Yeah, you pick sixty twelve? Yeah, I picked twenty seven twenty three. Did you pick a score? I'm gonna go with like twenty five twenty three. It I was gonna say, see the theme going here. We got four point games all across here, and it wasna belo whoever's losing the game like it's gonna be throwing it. You know what, watch this. This is what's going to happen.

The Cowboys are finally going to be able to start scoring, getting into the end zone, and then we're gonna lose because Grandma hurt missed an important kick. If I believe for two weeks, if I believed in superstition, i'd be really mad at your right now. But I don't. I mean, you can say they lost because because they didn't because he missed a kip there, but he was the only one scoring. That's true. A guy but misses a forty when he hits the sixty and a fifty, I can't

he hit a sixty and a fifty. Score touchdowns fault said it? Yeah, he said himself. You don't win. Gosh darn touchdowns, he said. He said, gosh, Dar, that's what I read. Shouts out to Alex Lily, our producer, for his hilarious interpretations of the censored words on the sideline stuff. Actually that's really good stuff anyway. All right, Well we're out of time today, so hopefully the Cowboys have a good weekend and we can have a nice little bike of not talking trash about this team for one week

at least. So thank you guys so much for tuning in once again. For Derek Gilton, Nikiman, David Hallman, amember Garcia. This has been the Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com Radio. This has been a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
