Cowboys Break: Week 1 Crazy Predictions

We're life in the SUBC Mortgage Studios. We're gonna get you ready for this Sunday's opening game for the Cowboys. Cowboys take on the Giant Sunday Night Football, seven thirty pm at AT and T Stadium, and we got all the information for you guys on what exactly is going to happen, what you should expect, and at the end of the show, we'll give you some predictions, some crazy predictions, and some predictions for the game. We did that did not of our show with Taylor and Brian. We'll keep

doing that. Good. How's everybody doing this morning? I almost mouthed off to you right there, and then I stopped myself so I'm so glad you're starting to see you and Zeke both some growth, some maturity. Like that's a good thing. You know, that's a good thing. Let's keep it going, all right. Let's uh really glad that you said that, because I just tweeted out the periscope and I said, we got some crazy predictions today, And as I hit send, I said, I wonder if we're still

doing that. And then, you know, if if you were to read the email that I sinned like the night before you did, well, I don't know if you it looks sounds good to me. Amber's probably the only one that it takes time to read it. I did, I did read it. You did? You just be saying consciously, I kind of knew that it was in there. And that's what we do on Friday. Yeah. Good, Okay, So we'll get to that in the final segment, as we normally do on Fridays here on the break, But for

right now, let's start talking. Sits here for the for the talking, for the hanging with the boys whatever, who sits here? I think that's Kurt for hanging with the boys. For talking. That would be Mickey. Yeah, why it's always jacked up. I think it was a player. Actually, I think it was a player layer was sitting there. They do have a player on. Maybe the player was sitting there. I don't know who though. It's Jonathan Cooper. Oh, it's

Jonathan Cooper. Actually, we're gonna talk about Jonathan Cooper here in just a second, not first. We might talk about him second, but we probably won't talk first. All right, Let's start first with some injury talk. Cowboys looking good for this this weekend. Everybody on the team practice in some form or fashion yesterday, except for Anthony Hitchins, who we know it is going to be out for presumably

four or five weeks whatever it's gonna be. Um, but it looks like from all accounts said, everybody that they want to be available to them will be available to them, barring possibly Jordan Lewis, who still isn't completely practicing. What just keep going, please keep going? All right? So, UM, I guess from that's the end point you feel good about the Cowboys. But on the other side of it, we spent some time talking yesterday about Odell Beckham. He

did not practice again yesterday. You guys convinced yet? We convinced yet? Yeah? I've totally changed my tune. I think now he's definitely not gonna play. Definitely, I thought he was. No, he's still playing all the way until kickoff. Yeah, I mean if if I'm wrong, if you're wrong, you owe all of us lunch. That's what we said. Yet I didn't know that. I'm good with it. I'm not. I'm not sold at all that. I don't feel any differently.

I think it's still a good bet that he plays, but I'm I think he's not gonna be worth anything basically. I mean, you think he runs out there and he's just kind of decoy guy. He's not gonna be DeMarcus Ware against the Oh nine Saints. He's not gonna go out there and just be a stud after not being able to he can't move around well enough to practice. I don't buy that, and that's why I don't think he plays. I don't think they put him out there if all he's doing is just kind of hobbling around.

I think they might because again, like when you when you're talking about that caliber of player, and maybe they're wrong, but like that's the way NFL teams think. It's like having him out there and having him in uniform is something. But you know that. But I think when when teams do that, I think it only takes a series for the other team to say he can't do anything. So we're not we're not going to be distracted by that, like and so I don't I don't think it really matters.

I still lean toward Nick's line of thinking that like when a guy of that caliber, and it's true he has to be medically cleared and all that stuff, but like those guys find a way to get into the game. And so it's like people see him at practice, have seen videos of him kind of jog in and running around. I've seen it too, But I think the problem will come when he needs to make those cuts. You know, that's where the ankle issue comes. Yeah, I think we're

taking two different things. Like the argument is will he play what he's gonna do? Like I'm I'm agreeing with all of y'all about that, Like I if he's not, if he just started jogging on Wednesday, doesn't see or that's what was being reported, who knows behind closed doors if he's over there and making cuts and all that, and he wants to come out with his cape and was Superman and all that because he's very out in a wheelchair like Paul Pierce and just stand up dramatically. Yeah,

you're kind of awesome. I don't know. Just to be clear, I don't playing. It's not a man. I'm not saying I don't think he's gonna play well. I'm saying I don't think he's playing. The easy comparison here would be Jason Witten, but that's too hard because he never misses a game. So let's take it to another player and say, if Sean Lee was facing this same issue and was in the same exact situation, do you think he's not

finding a way out there? No, Sean Lee took two million dollars on the table and that one meaningless game in twenty fifteen and said, now I'm not gonna play for two million dollars meaningless game two million dollars if anything. I mean, if he couldn't if he couldn't run well and couldn't play up to his potential, I don't think he plays. I think he would be like, get another roll of tape, throw it on there. You know, would you want to do that to one of your best players?

Right the start? Of the season Week one. I understand they're going against the fact is, this is not O'Dell's decision. This is gonna be a decision that's made by their medical staff and decision made by their coach. It's not going to be an Odell decision. The word coming out of New York is that it's a fifty fifty shot. And again, yes he has to be cleared medically, assuming he's cleared medically, but nobody feels good about what he'll be able to do. Still think he'll be out there,

not saying he'll be affectively, he probably won't be. A fact like if I had to guess he plays like thirty percent of the snaps and finishes with like two catches for twenty five yards or something like, he's just happy JJ Wilcox isn't back there. Yeah, great points. Well, either way, whether he plays or not, he won't. I don't think he'll be a problem for the Cowboys. So I'm way more concerned about Brandon Marshall. Sounds like that just sounds like famous last words for whatever that's worth.

Mike just like, he won't be a problem for the Cowboys. He's the best receiver and then come Monday, we're like, oh my god, touchdown third fourth. Yeah. I don't know that he won't look like he won't look like the Odell that we've gotten used to seeing, but I kind of leaned toward thinking he'll be out there. All right, Well, we will see on Sunday. Let's get to some inactives

for the Cowboys. This will be This is always the tough part when you have the early part of the season, you're relatively healthy, and you're having to decide what, guys, what seven guys that are on your sixty four sixty three man roster aren't gonna actually I'm sorry, yeah, I'm getting this right. No, on your fifty three man roster. Sorry, the forty six that will actually play, the seven that

are not going to play. So I'm gonna run down some names for you guys, and I want you to tell me whether you think that they will be active or inactive. All right, let's start with Jordan Lewis in inactive? Inactive? Good? Uh? Jay Elliott, the linebacker they picked up active active, all right? Uh? Noah Brown inactive? Uh yeah, inactive. I sat next to Daga Stright at practice while he did this, so I'm gonna probably agree, so I'm gonna let Dave just you can.

I don't really disagree with anything. I think you can write six of these in stone. There's one, but go ahead, okay, Um, this one is a choice Kellen Moore or Cooper Rush. One of them will be inactive? Which one Rush? I think Cooper Rush will be inactive? Great will Yeah, he will be, Okay, not should be? Is that what you're saying? Yes, all right, Anthony Hitchins obviously inactive? Inactive? Ben ben Wickery the cornerback that they pick ah active, you think active,

I'm not sold. I don't. And that's kind of there's like this, there's there's a handful of candidates for that. I think his I think whether or not he's active depends entirely on Shitabay Woodsier and Cheeto has practiced two of the three days this week. Fully, you're saying one of the two of them, I wouldn't be surprised. I would be if if Cheeto was inactive, I'd be surprised. I'm saying if the only way, not the only way.

I could see Benwickery being inactive. If they think Cheetos really, if he's good to go, and I think he is. I think he is a candidate to be inactive. I think I think he'll he'll be active. And if he's not active, I think that was a huge mistake. I mean, like, why why get him? Then? I mean, why not get the player who can play? If you're gonna go out and get someone, I know, they didn't give up a lot, and they may not give up anything. I guess if he doesn't it it's a longer thing. I mean, he

just got here. Maybe I don't think he's ready to play this week. That doesn't mean he's not ready to play by week two. Then, I like, right then, I don't think he's the right guy then. I mean, I think that's part of the factor when you when you're signing a player, going to get a certain player, I mean you get a player not only the guy that can help you, but a guy that that is ready to play. His readiness to come in and contribute for you should be a factor in taking him over him, him,

him and him that at the beginning. Go ahead. This is a great segue because I talked to Ben a ben Wickery yesterday and I'm going to put a story up about it. Later, I was just kind of talking to him about the process of getting ready to play in a new defense in six days, and he's, you know, he's got then he's playing then, because David, not knowing how busy the site's gonna be and how full it's going to be, he's not going to put a story up about a player who will be inactive. He's playing. Wow,

thanks for that voting confidence. I hope I'm not finish your story. Yeah, you know, it was really right. It was really enlightening. Just uh, you know, people always talk about how simple Rob Marinelli's scheme is and how helpful that is, and he said, you know, this is not These are not concepts I'm not familiar with. It's just the terminology I've got to learn, have to learn my base calls. I thought this was really interesting, which I don't even know how you pick this up in five days.

But he was like, the big thing you gotta do is try to figure out what a coach wants to call in a certain situation. So like what is Rod like to call on third and eight, or you know, what are his early down calls? And once you kind of get a feel for that, then you can just go out there and let it flow. But then at

the end, so I don't know. I probably talked to him for five minutes and he said if I don't remember the exact what, but he basically said, if they need me, then I think I can go out there and get through a game. And I was like, in my head, I was like, well, they kind of need you, like are you are you not sure if you're gonna be up or down? So I don't know. I think that's interesting. I think I think he could be inactive,

but I would lean toward him being active. I think, all right, you know, he's he's no Sterling more than remember when they brought in Sterling Moore for the first time, it seemed like they got him a few times. I'm about to say he's been there a few times. They signed him. They picked him up from the airport Friday night, like at five or six o'clock. I had to go get him from something. I guess he get cut by New England or whatever. Claimed Friday night. They played the

Steelers on Sunday. Just you know, by Friday the players are already gone and out, and he picked it up, played played really well in the game. So I just think that not all positions, but I think cornerback is one where you can kind of get through it a little bit, and sometimes you're pressed into doing that because you have to. Yeah, I don't know if this is a situation where where ben Wickeries if they have to have him the presence, if if Cheeto's fully capable of playing,

and you've got your young safeties and everything. I don't got thirty three that are going to be playing the most, so that you have to have him. But I think he's got a good shot to be out there. How many do we have right now? Right now, We've got Lewis, We've got Brown, We've got Rush, we've got Hitchens. That's four. Ben Wickery would be your fifth. Why don't we hold him and hold him? All? Right? Charles Tapper, I lean

see that. And that's the other one too, Like that's the tricky spot that I'm in where I wouldn't be surprised if Tapper sits. But playing a whole game with seven defensive lineman sounds kind of dicey. Okay, so let's let's hold those both of those, okay. Um, I think and you look at the history of what they do with the running backs. One of these two guys I would presume is going to be an active Darren McFadden or Alfred Morse. You guys agree with that, You're so,

which do you think is an active Morris? I lean toward Morris based on lean I lean toward Morris based on prior experience, But it's it's all up to I mean, what they want to, Yeah, what what they see in this matchup, you know, Yeah, And I mean the fact that Zeke's out here. I always say that Morris is the guy that most closely resembles what Zeke does, which so I would lean toward him sitting. But again, you have both of those guys, you don't need them both.

I wouldn't be surprised by either one. Yeah. I think the Cowboys, obviously, it looks like over the years, over the you know years, it's that he's been here. It seems like they have this this affinity for McFadden. But at the same time, I think if you look at

the preseason, I think Morris looked better than McFadden. To me, I thought, so, I'm kind of leaning toward maybe, But if I if I were choosing, I would say maybe McFadden would be inactive, and I'd keep Morrison and let's see what we could do with him on you know, spell when he has to spell Zeke. Yeah. But but the role that you would be playing, um, yeah, I think McFadden would be better or for that role. I

mean as a starter. I think Morris might be better for the starter, but I think McFadden would be better for a backup role. I would probably keep McFadden as this role and keep him here throughout whatever the suspension is, keep him here. But you know, it wouldn't surprise me from the Cowboys standpoint to say, why don't we not play McFadden because we're gonna have to play McFadden after this if we don't want to give Denver a look on him or anything that we do with him. Point,

you know, if we have to, you know. So there's a lot of things in play here. I consider it six to one and half a dozen or the other and whoever's up probably won't get that much work. And and as hopefully as Scott Linehan said, we're gonna we're gonna give him the ball a lot, you know, And I don't think he did go as far to say We're gonna run him into the ground because you know he might be suspended for the next six weeks, seven weeks. Really, I expected to be the Zeke Show and not the

running back Number two show. So all right, let me give you one other name, Jonathan Cooper. Possibility he's inactive, I think so. Yeah, it's the same. I mean, it's the Ron Leary Lyle Collins conundrum. I mean, although I will throw this out there that Jonathan Cooper has the flexibility to play guard and center, which makes him valuable. But Joe Looney can do that too, right, Joe Looney is also your jumbo guy goal line fourth. And I think Joe Looney's a better player, I believe. I don't

know if I think that. I don't think so. I don't know if I think that, But I think they trust him to wire about Why would you say that, I mean, why would you think that? Because they have tried everyone, but they've tried to back, they've tried to take his job, and they've never given it to Jonathan or Joe Looney. They've never said Looney started left guard now versatile Derek's like I know, believe me. I've tried to tell him. This is I mean, this is at

Montre Holland field. Cost the situation on a game day, I'll go with the versatile guy who can play center. But if I have to start, if if Chas gets hurt, what's probably will happen. But I mean, if Chaz does get hurt in the game and in Cooper has to come play next week, I mean, it's not gonna be Looney. It's gonna be Cooper because they feel like he's better. I get all that. I'm just saying, based on what I saw during training camp in preseason, I think Joe

Looting was a better player, just my opinion. See Joe Looney play with any starters though, Okay, all right, either way, I think I think him yesterday. I've also seen Jonathan Cooper play with starters and wasn't completely impressed. I think Jonathan Cooper is probably the guy in sweats. He probably it's getting inactive. It's and you know, it's the same thing. Ron Ron Leary is way too good of a player to to be inactive on game days, but he was because he didn't do enough to merit a roster spot

if he wasn't starting. Okay, so we've got six guys that we all kind of agree on that they will be an actor, Jordan Lewis, Noah Brown, Cooper, Rush, Anthony hutchins Um, one of the running backs running back. Okay with that, an older running back right, Jonathan Cooper. So for the final one, we gotta yeah, we got decide it is it Tapper or has it been Wickery? Who's more likely to help help you in this game? I'll be Tapper if you call the help. I mean on

how you feel about Tapper. I think about this. I think Ben Wickery has a better chance of doing something for you exactly. Yeah, think about corners start going down. Let's say you lose two corners, and it can happen, because I remember the game against the Jets on the nine to eleven game didn't but six years ago, twenty eleven, I remember Barry Church played corner at some point and again because everybody was getting hurt. And if you start losing corners, there's not a lot of players who can

kind of help there. So you got one. You got you got a safety that can drop down to corn if you need well. Xavier Woods say Davier Woods as well. Right, you got a couple, right, you do have a couple, um, but you also have a couple for defensive end as well. Like if you needed some pass for a shop, you could go with Wilber, you could go with the new guy Elliott, who that they could rush off the edge. I meant to bring that up. That's WoT. I would lean towards keep it an extra corner. If that that's

the case, I lean. I think I played in a super Bowl and Tapper I played it at all a single game. I think Ben Wickery will be up and yeah, you've got guys that can help you sort through this D line mess. And like I said the other day, oh looked at Tapper's face and I could tell he's not playing this weekend. I told you, guys, you know you like ESPs not a real thing, you know, right, Like you can't just read somebody's mind based on their face. M Romo, Can you just admit this Nick place? I

knew what was going to happen to Romo. Nick has been here for But you knew before that Seattle game. You didn't said you were ready to see somebody at all. First of all, before this place was built, do you remember, we were all yes, all out I mean the first thing they showed us this place, we had a hard hats on and they took us to that group lunch or sitting there eating pizza, and the guy was like, I can't wait to see you guys here again. And

we've never went back there, of course. But um, she said, I don't know about Tony Roman. I think he's gonna get hurt. I think he's too fragile and every time he gets hit you can't count on him. And we're just like this first point she's ever really made, really and this was that point where he's healthy. Brow he's healthy right now. And now they're looking at me like, who is this girl? First of all, you're not even from here. Second, well you're a girl. Look at you.

You just got here. You don't know anything. Oh are you? Yeah? Who are you? I think did she talk? It wasn't. I don't think that was the point that bothered me. I think it was more of the fact that you were trying to like take his job away while he was still healthy. You were like, we need to make a change. Aside from that, Aside from that to the next. And then after six weeks of dak and now Dak's you know, keeps winning and wins, Tony gonna come back.

And she said, I talk. I saw Tony and he didn't look right, like he looks like this is really really weighing on him. And I said, I don't think so. Like I know Tony and I think he's he's really okay. I don't think this is really that big a deal. Like two days later, he stands up there and he reads this letter and he talks about how the NFL is a meritocracy, so you have to give me some credit. I like, I'm telling you, all right, so Ambar the mind reader, No, so sit Taffer, I'm going with it.

That's what I think too, anyway, So I don't know why I'm arguing. Awesome, all right, So let's take our first break. When we come back, we're gonna get into some questions about this game. I want these guys to tell you, guys, what they think is going to happen. I have some questions lined up for them. We'll do it when you come right back. This is Dallas Cowboys dot Com Radio.

I hear all this talk about what it takes to be a cowboy. Everyone's got their ideas, but I just

say to myself, it's what's up top that matters. Sure, you need men with the muscle and heart to get her done. But if your scouts and coaches are listening out there. A word of advice. Pick the man with the most well worn stetson. That's the one most cut out to be a cowboy.

That game will be Sunday night, thirty pm at and T Stadium. Did you guys watch the game last night? Yeah? Beginning to end fun when it shout out Taylor Stern. She was spouting off all day yesterday about how the Chiefs we're gonna win. He told me that this morning. He's like I called it,

called it broken clocks are right twice a day. But it was a fun game. Fun those young guys out in Kansas City. Wow, impressive. Shout out all my Draft show listeners. Come take the ride with us next offseason because Kareem Hunt was a Senior Bowl guy. He was one of our top five most impressive Senior Bowl dudes. We had an eye on him all through the process.

It's kind of like I feel like a proud dad when I like That's my favorite reason for doing the Draft show is like you know so much about like the younger guys that are coming into the league, like ed Trey Flowers is another one in Arkansas guy. He's balling out for New England. He's a guy that I think it was three drafts ago. He was a guy that the Cowboys were considering as a mid round pass rusher.

Blah blah blah. But my knowledge of other teams players since I started doing that show is through the rule, you know. So that's why you're gonna be doing our scounding reports this year. Hey yeah, man, Shamus Plug. I was thinking. I was thinking about, you know, the Cowboys core guys on offense. You know your quarterback, you're running back, your receiver, tight end, and left tackle. Where are we talking about? Mississippi State, Ohio State, Oklahoma State, Tennessee, USC

you know center? You know you got Notre Dame in Wisconsin. That look at Kansas City, you know, Utah Toledo. Where did where did Tyreek Hill end up? You wound up somewhere I've never heard of, although he was in Oklahoma State, but he went some other places. Went to a juco for first artistry. Draft was Central Michigan. Yeah, I don't

even is he Yeah he's still he's still there. Yeah, you know, you're you're tied end who's a really good player Cincinnati, you know, and and they let go their GM, Like he's built a really nice roster and they just let him go this last offseason, which is amazing. Yeah, and they are For years, Kansas City has been a team where they don't really have that dynamic player. And then when you think about what in the eleventh or twelfth pick in the draft, what that could how that

person could help you. That's why drafting quarterbacks it is so tricky. And I always agree with the mindset of drafted when you need it for this reason alone, even though I know people will disagree with that. And you could throw the Packers out there if you want, but it's really tough to do that. It's tough discipline to draft a quarterback that you don't need right now, because if you had the eleventh pick in the draft. Name a position that could help you, someone on that line,

another receiver, maybe another defense safety for them. You know, it sucks, but I'm just saying, but there's my homes sitting there. You know he's not gonna do anything. And Alex Smith's like, all right, hey, draft at my homes. I mean he was awesome. You went in well. As I said that last night on Twitter, it's like the I think the average, the majority of football fans would say Kansas City is great, but I don't really take them seriously because their quarterback play is not up to

snuff with like the elite teams in the league. Well, if Alex Smith does that, even like he didn't even have to do that, for get where he was drafted. Like, this guy's got talent. I mean, guy, he hasn't proven he's got he's got talent. He's a fine player. But I think you know that was like his eighth three

hundred yard game of his career. Like at this point, we know what he is and he's not Aaron Rodgers, but he hasn't had he has I don't think he's had these kinds of what these kinds of in his career. I will be sorry with Alex Smith the fact that in eight years in a row, he had eight different offensive coordinator in eight years, first eight seas, I mean think about two and two. I mean one in two years. I mean every year you're changing it up. That's that's

totally fair. And you know he had a he had a year in San Francisco where he bawled out like he's a good player, but most people don't think of him as that dynamic difference making quarterback as a manager. If he even plays like that for half of their games this year and then just doesn't get in the way for the other half, they I mean, sky's the

limit for them, even if Eric burries out. I mean they got enough talent on the rest of that defense that pass rush will be yeah, good enough to secondary. They were really they were really impressive. Can I throw this out there as well? We we like to have different things on our site where we're the site for everyone. You know, Well, we have a fantasy article every day, I mean every every week and on Thursdays it goes out. And our our writer Jonathan Opping you've seen him write

some other things. How about this headline? While why Cole Beasley is a smart play. Thursday's other quarterback makes sense. So yeah, out yesterday. Yeah, Brady's good. But you know what, Alex Smith, way to go, Johnny. Yeah it is a nice call. And you know what's funny about that is we asked him a year and a half ago, can you you want to you want to do this and write this fantasy? He was like, I could try. I mean I don't really do it a lot a little bit,

you know. And now and now he's like, he digs in there, he finds all these players you've never heard of before, and he and he does in the articles a lot sponsored by Draft Kings, and it's if you play regular you know, traditional fantasy or the daily fantasy yep,

which is legal, right, Yeah, for sure it is. Um. Yeah, we probably all should have known something was up when they let Mackling go Turning training camp, Like that was kind of a hint that they felt like they had some pretty good players there at the wide receivers, at least their skill positions, and certainly last night it looks like they do. I went back and I remember a conversation with dez Dez and Joseph Randall because there when their lockers right next to each other. For no, but

they hung out a lot in the locker room. Down in that corner, Randall had Darren Woodson's hole. That's right. I thought, maybe not, But anyways, I remember them down there one time talking and they're saying, do you see that number twenty four? He's the fastest player in the in the college football And I just remember them saying number twenty four, number twenty four, And I don't know who that was. And then I went and google Tyree Hill and realized that that was that player they were

talking about four or five, six years ago. He didn't last very long. It will clomb the state. But no, But did you see last night on the broadcast they actually showed like they transposed his two hundred times that he had in high school over the Olympic finals two hundred meter and he was right there in the pack with all those guys that this was his high school time, and it was right there in the pack with these

guys that were running in the Olympic finals. A thing of course, who's saying Bolt was way ahead everybody else, but he was with the pack though, which still says that he has world class beat as of high school, which who knows what it is now, right. The thing that really freaked me out about that was that he was in high school during the twenty twelve Olympics, which you know, I mean, y'all are older than me, and that made me feel old. So yeah, hey, keep living, Yeah,

keep living. All right, let's get to some of these questions. First question I have for you guys. We've already kind of established that we all think Johnathan Cooper might be inactive, which kind of kills the idea of whether he is going to be the starter at left guard. We feel like Chas Green's gonna be that guy. But that all being said, do you think that's the right decision? Do

you think Chad's green? What based on what we've seen throughout the preseason, based upon the history of Chaz Green's health, do you think it's the right decision for Chas Green to be your starting left guard over Jonathan Cooper. No, I don't, but I mean that's what they're gonna do, so I'm you can't really argue that anymore. But I don't think that's the from what I've seen and the domino effects afterwards, I would not do that because it's it's a to me, it's a toss up. I've seen Green,

you know, play well at times. I've seen Cooper play. But Cooper, to me, has been more steadier because he's been healthier, so I can trust him more to be there. And and I just like Chas Green to be my backup left and right tackle more than I like Byron Bell to do it. So and then and then I don't like shuffle in three or four positions at once. So I just think it's it makes more sense to go Jonathan Cooper right now and Green it's the backup to both spots. That's what I would do. I'm not

gonna do it. I agree with him in one sense, but I do think this is the best five that you can put on the field. I think, if you're following that mantra, this is the best option. The problem is how long will it last? And I don't know the answer to that, which it seems like it makes sense to hedge your bets and save the very talented tackle to be an insurance policy. Not only is a swing tackle, but if something happens to Tyrant, or if

something happens to Cooper or Lyle Collins, whatever. He can do a lot of stuff for you, But it's hard for me to get two worked up about it because this is the best possible combination of players. So that's kind of when we'll let you answer that before. I'm gonna tack Day for a second. All right, go ahead. Oh I don't agree that's the right decision at all.

And going back, sorry, going back to what was it the game against the Raiders, the preseason game, me standing there on the sideline, just watching him play from that close, you know, and seeing how he moves around, and when he kind of tripped over and then you kind of see him, Um, what is it call again? Kind of not being abble to walk too good? Limpin? Yeah, sorry, Limpin, he's limping around. I'm like, okay, they need to take him,

take him out. They left him there and then you I think it was Nick that argued that, well, you want to see him how he does out there? You want to him Yeah, yeah, not just all players in preseason, but know him him. But after seeing all that, I mean, I still don't know why they're so stuck with Chas Green. It's just it's not good. I mean, if you want to make Jonathan Cooper your starter and not rely on Chas Green and just not kind of have them rotating around.

Just give it to Cooper to begin with. We know that Chad's Green will possibly get hurt, so just have him as a backup, all right. I just feel like that Chaz Green, because he's a third round pick, I think that we've put him in this category like, well, he's a talent. From a talent standpoint that he is. You know, you could you call him a top one hundred pick all the time. He is, okay, But why

don't you say Jonathan Cooper's a top seven pick? Because Jonathan Cooper has a much longer career history of not living up to that pick. And honestly, much like Chaz Green, it's probably not his fault, right, I think, you know, anybody that's watched him will tell you that he doesn't look like the same player. I think he fractured his fibula or something in his leg when he was with Arizona. And he's been with four other teams or three. He's been with Cleveland and New England and now here, so

he's been with four teams total. He hasn't been able to recapture that for him, that was five years ago, so he's got a long track record of not living up to that, whereas again Green's just getting there. Green still working on it. And I went off, I went off on this rand in training camp, like I'm I just I'm not gonna dog a guy and act like he's a bad player because he gets hurt. That's it's

an incredibly physical game. Stuff like that happens again. I mean, how front and I know what you're about to say, but how frustrating were the first three or four years of Sean Lee's career. It was the same thing. And I don't know that Chaz Green is as good a player as Sean Lee wound up becoming. But I think it's a really talented guy. He's powerful, he's agile. Honestly think he looks a little bit better at tackle than he does it guard. But I think he's a better

player than Jonathan Cooper. If he can stay healthy, then I think that will bear out over time. And they're they're clearly willing to take that gamble, and so I'm not gonna lose a lot of sleep about it. We'll see if what I do like about him is that you know, when you talk about Travis Frederick, what's the one thing that everyone always says, you know about his game, is that just how smart he is, just just just how you know, he can see a lot of things.

Talking to Chads Green yesterday, he's pretty smart too, Like he was talking about a lot of things about you know, just from from the call standpoints, the differences there, from the help. Who's got the help, he said working with Travis Fredericks. So I think that he'll he'll be fine there. Playing between Tyrn Smith and Travis Frederick doesn't get much. I wouldn't say easier, but but you're gonna you're gonna

you can lean on. There's not two two players you can lean left and right better in the NFL than these two guys right there. I'll go. I'll go as far as to say this, if he stays healthy, I don't see them going away from him because he's not playing up to snuff. Like they're not gonna He's not gonna lose his job because he's not playing well. I don't think he's worse than than Jonathan Cooper. No, yeah, and but I don't know if that can make the same claim on the other side, either. I mean, like,

I don't know that he's better than Jonathan Cooper. I think they're about the same. Going back to what Nick was saying earlier, they at least what we've seen this year at Zim playing guard, I agree with you. I think Chad is a better tackle than he as a guard. But what we've seen basically between the two of them at guard when they've played during training camp and during the preseason, I think they've been comparable. I don't think one is stood out from the other. I'm gonna ask

I'll ask all y'all the same question quickly. I know you gotta move on knowing what we what we know. Now, let's go back to the first OTA practice in May, and you're lining up the offensive line from left or right? How would you line them up? I in in my world, I'd I'd probably I'd swap Chads and Lyle and put Lyle at guard and Chads at tackle. I still would not.

I still keep it the way it is because I get their thought process is Lyle, I think he's gonna have to learn it, but I think his ceiling is much higher, and I think having the stability at tackle is way more important than having stability at guard. Plug and play at guard is a lot easier than the right tackle who now is has a really good pass rusher screaming around the edge to get to your quarter.

I'd agree with that. Going back there, Huh, My thoughts have changed now back there, I would just be like, get another play, like you find somebody. My main what I really want to do is sick will McClay on this draft class and find another guard and then attack this again next year. Yeah that's yeah. But since we're here now and that's not the case, like I was saying yesterday, I think switching them just because Lyle, I don't I'm not feeling too comfortable with what he's doing

right now. But just how you pointed out, you know, just give him some time and he'll be good. And I have faith in him. I know he will be good here. He's a good player. But I think maybe just keeping him at guard, not Lyle chas Green, keeping him a guard maybe helps injury wise, to not have him get injured as much as I would think being at tackle. I don't know. I mean, there seems like there's more stuff going on inside at more congestion in there, a lot more legs that can get tangled and feet

that can be you know, and I don't know. I see him being safer eut guard, but he's better at talk. So I'll say this to that point, I think, actually I will agree with you. When you're coming off an injury, especially an ankle injury, and having to stay inside, I think it's probably better for him rehabbing an injury to play guard. I think if you're just talking about exposed to injuries, you know, you might be more exposed to

have an injury from the inside. But if you're coming back from something, you don't need to be as agile, I would think maybe guard. All right, So we're gonna take our final break when we come back from break. Here's the question I'm gonna post to you guys. Last year, Zeke ran one hundred and seven yards in the last game that they played against the Giants, and the Cowboys

obviously did not win that game. So is this game going to be more about what Dad can do in the passing game than it will be about what Zeke can do on the ground.

You need tell me a little bit more about that. Well, it's good underwear. You don't even know that you're really wearing it even though you are, you know, and people

would you know, would you're rocking right now? I am? I am too. Yeah, there you go. It's it's you know, I don't know how many pairs I have, but the first five or six that I'll wear and then you got to go into something else if you want to then maybe, Yeah, you're like you gotta disappointed on those days. I know, I am kind of got to go back to cotton after this. Yeah, it's not a Tommy John day right right exactly. I'm the same way. I'm the

same and Tommy Johns. Tommy John. If it's an important day, you gotta break out the Tommy John exactly, exactly, I gotta put on a tie. It's Tommy John Day. Are you going that type of thing? There you go, Well, he just told you what he's gonna be wearing Sunday. Oh yeah, for sure, no doubt. Oh yeah. Always on game day, always on game, always on game. Let's go all right, let's let's let's say something we have not

gotten gotten past. We can do this and talking all that, but when it just gets to that next part of that awkwardness, we just don't transition one. I know. We got to work that out. Maybe we'll do some practice reps some time off their see if you can get that. All right, So the question I have for you guys before it was based around the idea that this team really last year, their success I think was predicated more

on the running game. Their ability to run the ball opened up everything else, and if they couldn't run, that was going to be a challenging day for them. However, in that second game against the Giants, Zeke ran for one hundred and seven yards on twenty four carries. It was a by all counts a good running day, Cowboys still didn't have enough to win the game. They lose ten to seven. So it's Tomorrow's I mean, I'm sorry,

is Sunday's game. Do you think because of that, and because of how good this defense is, specifically upfront, do you think this game is going to be more about the ability to be able to throw the ball and particularly be able to connect down field, then it will be about being able to run the ball. Yes, I'll say no, this is sorry. This is a Dak game. That's the metaphor I used all last year is that Zeke is the engine that makes everything hum. Dak is

the guy driving the car. I mean, you can drive, you can go one hundred miles an hour, but if you run into a brick wall, the car's not gonna go anywhere. And that and when you play a defense this good, Zeke is going to do his thing and he's gonna be fine. He'll I mean, if I had to guess, he'll probably get a hundred yards or flirt with it. But to beat a defense like this, your

quarterback has to make plays. And so that you know this is probably Seattle's gonna be like that Kansas City's probably gonna be like that based on what we saw last night, for four or five times this year, they're gonna play an opponent with a defense good enough to wear Zeke isn't gonna be enough and so, like I said, he'll be good, but it's you know, there's between five and ten plays that dak has to make if they're gonna win. I think it's more on him in my opinion. No,

I disagree with that. And just to take your analogy, I mean, the car doesn't even go from you know, here to there without the engine. I mean, the engine is the engine for a reason. So I mean you could switch out drivers. And I'm not saying that that dak Is doesn't have a big role. He certainly does, and how he handles the how the Giants stop the running game will ultimately, you know, affect what the Cowboys do. But I just feel like they have to stick with

what they do. They built this team, they built the offensive line, they built a running game to be this type of team, and they have to kind of stick with it. So even if it doesn't work well early on, you have to just keep pounding. You can't go away from the game. Plan and put it on the Dak. And I think, but do you want to do the same thing you did last year which clearly didn't work. Yeah, yeah, I'll stick with it, stay stay in that same course.

That's the way. That's the way these games are. That's the way that Cowboys Giants game is. I mean, it's gonna be close down to the end. The defense is going to play well, their offense plays well. But I mean I'm saying that it's still it's not DA doesn't need to be doing a whole lot of different things. Let me let me rephrase so I'm not confused. I'm not calling for Dak to throw the ball fifty times the same you do the same thing. Lean on Zeke. He is the engine of this offense. But they're not

gonna win unless Dak plays great. That's basically my point. And playing he didn't play great great in that game was that was his worst first game as a pro was the second game against the Giants, and then his first game against the Giants was probably his second worst. Yep, that's not gonna cut it, not against the defense like this, right, And I think that other than you know, maybe one or two teams and we won't. We don't need to highlight them because they haven't played. We don't know who's

good you know yet. But I think you can say that same sentence on a Friday before every single game you play that if Dak doesn't play well, they're probably

not gonna win well. I think there's a there's a distinction here between playing well, which I think he did for the majority of the year last year, there were some games when he played out of his mind, when he had a high completion percentage, when he had some big throws throughout it in parts of the game that were, you know, throws that were tough to make that he made, Like those are the kinds of things I think David

sings he's gonna have to make. This defense is good enough where he's gonna have to make some really tough throws, and those tough throws will be what actually ends up winning this game for He's he's gonna have to hit some chunk plays and necked through the air on some third and longs and be a bigger part of the reason why the chains are moving than Zeke. I mean, you know, off the top of my head, you're right, we don't know who's gonna be good, Who's gonna be bad?

But if you're playing a Cleveland Desk team, you can win that game just by asking your quarterback to not get in the way. Yeah, I don't. That's not even know what the argument is. I really don't even know what we're arguing. I think what I'm just saying is, I don't I don't know if this changes anything from last year. I just think you still you go into it, you still play, you lean on the running game. Deak's

gonna have to make plays. I don't. I don't even know if why are I don't even know if we're seeing the same thing or not. This is I agree Dak does have to play well to win the game. I think that seems to play better than well. But Zeke's not gonna have a great, wonderful game. I don't think he's gonna produce many yards. I know you disagreeing, Nick, But the way I see it, I hope so. The way I see it's like he won't be very productive.

But at the same time, I think that having him there will definitely give Dak Prescott's some comfortness that he just has when he has to seek there. Although Dad is like one of the most confident guys on Earth. But I think just having his presence there, not so much his game. I think that's gonna be the key for this game. I mean, I believe that the Giants did a nice job of limiting Zeke. I mean, yeah, one hundred and seven yards. But the first two games combined,

they did a good job against him. If you take out the Philly game, which at the end of the season when they weren't playing there are guys, the Giants stopped the cowboy who's there are two games against the Giants were the lowest rushing outputs of the entire season those two games. So they did a nice job. And I think that there's the domino. I think that Dad didn't play well because of that. I mean, they stopped the running game. So then then it was I forced

it on a good point. If more people, more, if more teams could stop the running game like that like they did last year. I don't think Dak has a great season, you know, if they stopped the running game. So which I guess that's kind of the point I'm trying to make is it's on him, Okay, I mean, I think it'll be more of the same. I think Zeke will be fine, but he's not gonna I don't

think he's gonna touch two hundred all purpose yards. I think it's gonna be on Dak to make this work, knowing that maybe they're not getting six yards per carry. All right, let's let's move on. Let's do a little ce or no or what do you have for us? All right, you guys ready, Nick, ready, don't mess this off? Come on? Okay, she directed that a. Did Cowboys score first on the game? See? See this one goes to see you don't really have the answer. Sek will have

a hundred yards or more? See rushing or all purpose see no rushing from the fans. See no, this will be Kellen Moore's last year. Wow, took it there. That was first. Um see wait wait as a quarterback, that is a good question. That's a good clarification question. As quarterback, he's got a he's got a medium polo just hanging with absolutely same one I got on Yeah, quarterback. See see last year, Jeff Heath doesn't make it through the year, I'll just say that. Wow, okay, okay, Jeff Heath becomes

everything they hope for. In Matt Johnson. Wow, throwback, that's a loaded question. I mean, just have a chance to trash two guys, right? Everything they hope for? No, I mean, you know, I think Jeff Heath will be fine. I don't think he's gonna be the next you know. I don't know the process and how you came with that that question. But Jeff Heath has already played a game, yeah, because so I don't know how you can. He's already surpassed. I think I think that the spirit of the question

is the unreal levels of hype surrounding match. Yeah, what they hope it could be? Yeah? I think so. Do they hope he can be a competent starting safety, because then in that case, sure if they hope he can be a Hall of Famer. No, I'm gonna say no for now because I gotta see it to believe it. I haven't, and that's not that's not Jeff's fault. I just haven't seen that consistently. He hasn't been placed in that kind of situation to have to do it consistently,

and so I haven't seen it. So I don't know that I'd be willing to go out on a limb and say, I'm he's going to be everything they want in a safety. I'm not going into this season thinking they're set. Yeah, right, you know which, And he could change my mind. He could get in here and play really really well and then hey we're off and running. But right as of right now, I mean, it's the

same kind of option. It's the same way I look at Nolan Carroll like, yeah, I don't think right now I'm willing to say Nolan Carroll is going to be better than in a car. So we'll just have to see if he is great if he's not. Though, I think I've seen enough that I think it can go either way. There's not a ton of stories in the Cowboys and in the league where the guys plays four years as a as a backup role player, then all of a sudden he's a starter and he's really good.

I mean, it's the point you see it. These guys will flash it a little bit earlier and then they start. They don't wait to that point in their career just doesn't happen a lot. Romo is one example. They did have some of those players for a while, you know, the Doug Freeze, the Miles Austin's, but I don't even know if they lasted that long as as he did. The Marcus Lawrence will have six to eight sacks this year see see Yeah State. See Dak will have more

rushing touchdowns than he did last year. How many do you have last year? Six? Five or six? See see. I think that two point conversion against Green Bay, I think that's something best play ever it is, and I think it's a play that you'll see a lot with Switzer with the coal those guys spread out. No back

helps the red zone offense so much. Having a quarterback that can that can force you to pay attention to him helps It opens up so much more over the middle for you to be able to take advantage of what Terrence Williams does well going across the middle, take advantage of Jason Witton in the middle of the field. Like, there's a lot of things that you can do because defenses have to pay attention to the quarterback being able

to run fourth and goal from the one. I mean, I like him to get that one yard as much as I like giving it back to Zeke lett him. I mean just I would never I would never kick from inside to five if I were this team inside the five, So if you got fourth and five, I'm going I mean, really, I'm all the way in. Yeah, you know, you know, if my defense was a little bit better, and maybe they will be, we'll see once we get into the season. But if my defense was

a little bit better, I might agree with you. If the defense is not better than last year, I don't think i'd do that well, but what I would? You know how I always say this may when you get down there, first and goal from the seven or whatever, make up your mind right then what you're gonna do.

Make up your mind if this is four down, don't sit there and wait till third down, because first down, second down, I mean, just just keep running if you And if you remember in the opener last year, that was the big they lost that game because they couldn't convert in the red zone. I mean they went down there like five times easily drop a pass like over the middle. I think maybe it was tipped, but yes, I mean they are no. I think it was just

an outright drop. The characteristic they didn't. They kicked field goals on four of their five trips down there. I mean they finished with nineteen points that's that's not gonna cut it. Beasley's had a couple when these last two openers, he dropped one down there inside the five, probably could have scored. And then he've also fumbled in the year before with Chromartys ran it back for a touchdown. So what you then? Yeah, when I stopped talking, I'll be done.

I gotta look. Okay, last one, I see Elliott suspension Hill we would see another year like twenty fourteen Fords Bryant. I didn't get that question. Key me, please, if Zeke z is suspended, If Zeke is suspended, you'll see Dez have sixteen touchdowns. Got okay? Um, I don't even known. I don't really think that that matters whether Zeke's there or not. I mean the point is, I think the point is if Zeke, Yeah, they had the NFL Offensive

Player of the year. They ran for two thousand yards. Yeah. Uh. I think he's got a better shot to do that this year because he's on the same page with Dak a little bit more. And if you remember Dak, Dez never comes close to the Antonio Browns of the world in terms of catches, but he's that guy that when you get inside the red zone, you look to throw it up to him. I don't I'd be surprised if he sniffs that type of touchdown total, just because you will have the running game to lean on and you

got the Beasley's of the world. I'd I think this will be his best season since twenty fourteen, easily, but I don't know. Healthy sixteen touchdowns is unreal for a receiver. Yeah, I will say this, though, I hope this year they actually make a more concertative effort to get him involved earlier in games, because I think there are times in

games where he kind of gets lost. And to me, if you if you introduce him early in games, I think it gives the defense a moment of pause once it gets to point where it's, you know, second quarter, he still hasn't sniffed the ball. I just don't. I don't think you're taking advantage of that weapon enough that you talked about Antonio Brown like they come out of media and they're going to their guys. You're gonna know

which guys are gonna be there guys. But they got enough of them, and the Cowboys have enough of them to where even if you established that, Okay, if you want to start. Now it's trying to take him away. Then we've got a lot of other guys that can beat up on you. But I would establish Dez early and off in every game. Absolutely. I don't get some routes like slants and stuff like that that you feel pretty high, pretty feel pretty good there you're gonna get

completions out of. And I would do that every game. Start the game. All right, let's let's let's get to the crazy predict predictions. Let's start first with Amber. Crazy prediction. Crazy prediction. Don't have to give a score too, No, And you know, I probably should have started with Nick

so that you can see how this works. Like the crazy prediction is, this is something that's a little bit this is something that's a little bit outside the realm of what's blocked PUNTI yeah, and we got pretty elaborate with him last year. Don't know how crazy. Okay, go ahead.

I think that, um, I've said it all week. I do think that kind of a take that moment that I just think Zeke's gonna have with all this stuff going on, and we don't really know, we haven't really talked about, you know, what could happen today that will there should be some news regarding Zeke, but I think he's gonna play either way. I think he'll have I think he'll play really well. And uh, I think he's gonna get two hundred all purpose yards. I don't know

where that's gonna come. I'm from. It would probably be like a one twenty eighty type of thing. Okay, running Dave. I don't know if this is bold enough, but whatever, Um, as much as we criticize him, I just feel like home game, leaky offensive line. Eli's got a pension for making those types of plays. I not only think the defense is going to get some takeaways, I think they'll score one too, which they don't do very often. In fact, I'm having trouble thinking I'm gonna do it. That's what

you gotta get. Let's just get that's that's a crazy defensive touchdowns good. Maybe in your written gut feeling, maybe you can throw a name outby oh why not? Why the hell not? You know? Might be an act of that. Well, and I'll be wrong early whatever, Um, I don't know if this is crazy now or not. Local local Cowboys get four sacks Okay, Yeah. Ellie Collins tack with Charlton, aiming them one each. If Taco gets a sack, he's gonna get his first sack. I'm gonna so hard on Twitter,

on all my Taco haters. I'm gonna have some emojis. Yeah, emoji's out the wazoo. Taco makes his first for sac all right, I was stuck on the Taco t my my crazy prediction actually rides along with Dave. I'll give you a name. I think it's gonna be a sack fumble caused by Orlando Scandrick coming off the edge. And is that that's not even lots smart based that's what we've seen a lot let's and here's the other kicker, Like he's gonna have a really good game. He's also

gonna get a pick this game. Dam think he's gonna be a good game for Orlando. Zack fumble and and a pick. How How much would he enjoy that postgame press CONTI love it. He'd be standing there waiting waiting for the media, started to go to the podium. Where's the podium? Here we go, He's due for a game. Imagine him standing at his locker like this, just waiting for the media. All right now, let's get some predictions. Who's gonna win this game? Cowboys Cowboys? That Like, on

was it Tuesday? We were talking about left guard or set. Yeah, yeah, it's gonna be a close one, but maybe twenty seven twenty four four? All right, how boys, Dave. Yeah, I don't see a reason not to pick the Cowboys. I think they have the better offense, they have the home field advantage. I don't have a ton of confidence in the defense as it sits right now, but Rod Marinelli loves to say, you know, we have to play better

than their defense. I think as good as the Cowboys offense has looked over the last month, even knowing it's the Giants, and I mean, it's not gonna be easy, but I think they can find a way to win this. And I'll say twenty four twenty okay, Um, I agree. I think it's gonna be one of those, um those games. I think Dallas will win it. Twenty four twenty two, Okay, think I think somebody getting the safety. No, No, it's gonna be someone's gonna be going for two to win

to tie the game, and they'll stop them. You know that two point defense has been really good. Yeah, it has. I think Cowboys win as well, but I think they win a very very close game, same as it was last year. I think these teams are so evenly matched, and I think they have um they know each other so well. I don't think it'll be a blow away. I don't think it. Think it's gonna be really close. I think the end score is gonna be seventeen sixteen. Cowboys win at home. It hasn't been a blowout since

the twenty eleven finale. But it just it just varies in how many points. Like there's somebody had the Cowboys winning by what three or four? I was winning by three, three, two one one. Here we go, all right, you gotta check out the game Sunday. We'll be back on Monday. We'll tell you what went right and what went wrong till then. For Nick Even, Dave Hellman, Amber Garcia.
