Talkin' Cowboys: Attack the Bears

SWBC studios at the Star in Frisco. We've got Isaiah stand Back pounding his chest because it is say with your chest Friday. You guys have the base turned up in your car. I'm sure they don't, and I'm glad they didn't. He's like, I don't even know. I don't want to, I don't want to make a comparison. Then we've got Patrick No see Walker over here wearing the Friday to thirteenth. I see you absolutely Friday. I put on my Jonathan Hankins heading. Yeah, Jonathan Vorhees is what

I'm calling him. Doesn't need to be fast or quick, but you better not getting this path. Get out the way, get out the way you got the Muhammad Ali drip. I like that. I'm feeling it, man, I'm feeling we're saying it without chesterday. We're coming out, you know, at least float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. Sir, we got crisp him in the back. Speaking of B. B. Murr in the back. Nice transition was it was a little rough. I didn't hit it rough. It would work, man.

I think I tried to stick the landing, but I at least like took off for a little bit. But then I didn't stick read the face first to read the break perfectly. But you hit it right every time. Yeah, you got it within putting distance. You got on the green. Oh, thank goodness. That's that's better than my actual golf g the green. How's everybody doing? Everybody good? Fan fantastic? Yeah, Isaiah, you're dressed up real nice this morning for a Friday.

Going to a luncheon today? Are you the keynote speaker? I'm disappointed in that. Actually, so anybody needs keynote speakers? How are you fancy? Yeah? So, yeah, Sirie, that is something you can help stuff right, that is on your watch. Hey, he's listening. Good jobs on the conversation. I'm like, I'm holding my phone. She's not talking through. She was upset. I didn't introduce her with the rest of the crack

cast and crew. Uh. That was funny because both me and Isaiah looked at you and you were like, what are y'all looking at me for? That? Ain't me? We're looking at your wife. I thought it was you because you know this green bubble go over here? We knew it. We're talking about colors now. I phone tries to make you see colors and see that colors talking about all the green bubbles in the text went full. See the apple wants you to look at the color. See that.

Isaiah is that guy in our friend group. He is the guy that turns out above the green or all of the messages green. That's right. Don't send a picture through group text because the quality is gonna be trash awful, because you know, in order to send a picture over to uh android type phone, you're the quality needs to be upgraded. And unfortunately he's usually do if you say one of four, that two fours, right, that's how your texts come through. What a four to four? Isaiah liked this,

Sir Isaiah disliked. We don't have that. We don't have that. We do dislike somebody's texts. I mean, why would you ever do that? It's actually it's a confirmation that we've seen it, but may not have anything to say in response. Turn off the red receipts. I don't do rereceivet you know what we need confirmation of though, you know what we need information? How about some news and notes or as cowboys w W R D D well would Rob do? First of all? What would Rob do? News and notes? Um?

As far as the injury report, there were no changes. As far as Ezekiel Elliott, Noah Brown, and Malie Hooker, those three were still DNP as far as did not participate in Thursday's practice as they're dealing with their respective injuries. I will say that Ezekiel Elliott looked to have made some progress. Number one, he was working on the resistant

bands resistant chords trainer Britt Brown. But he also jogged out to the field while wearing a smile on his face and his normal walk did not have a noticeable limp. There was a very minor one, but looks like some progress has been made there. As far as the eyeball test goes for Ezek Elliott, so keep an eye on that. Still looks like he's going to be a late week decision. Two additions to the injury report, and also keep an eye on Door Brown as well, because, like I said,

he was DNP that's his second DMP this week. He's a key player on offense. You know, is it Jalen Tilbert season against the Bears. We will find out here soon. But Michael Parsons and Sam Williams were both added to the injury report. Michael was limited and Sam Williams did not participate with a knee injury. No real concern if any at all for Michael Parsons. He's going to play, period, and I doubt that he'll look slowed in any capacity whatsoever.

Cowboys are being just precautionary, just making sure that they don't exert him, especially with the bye week. On the other side of this, Sam Williams, on the other hand, that one him being it did not participate and it's

because of a knee injury. So coming off of a breakout game against the Lions, two sacks, forced fumble, fumble recovery, you want to see more of Sam Williams, question mark and if we are going to see more on Sam Williams before Green Bay though, So today is going to be a big day to help determine if Sam Williams can go on Sunday against the Bears. There's a lot of questions around the Cowboys and their opportunities to go out and possibly get a receiver to add to this offense.

As the trade deadline it's now coming upon us, there's a lot of people asking about the status of one James Washington. Is there anything that you can give the people on that or is it just kind of just hanging It's there are no changes from my most recent update, which would have been a week week and a half ago. Spoke with James specific and he said and reaffirmed that

physically he is one hundred percent. He is making all of the cuts, and he said that there was one particular time where he made a full speed cut and he kind of got nervous for a second, the mental aspect of it, and he said he came out of

it feeling perfectly fine. So when it comes to James Washington, it is that final hurdle that Mike McCarthy continues to speak about, which is just the mental block, just trying to not As a former athlete, you can understand trying not to get out there and start overcompensating, because when you play afraid, like you're afraid to hurt yourself, that's when you do what You hurt yourself, you have something else, hurt something else. Right, So physically, James Washington says he

is one hundred percent. He's just working on getting back to mentally feeling like James Washington the exact same thing Michael Gallup had to him. So, but they haven't started his twenty one day window just yet, so until they do that, he's kind of in that at the moment. Yeah, he told me, and this was a couple of weeks ago, so I don't know if this will happen, but he when we were talking, he said bye week. It was after the bye week and what he was looking to start,

and he was talking about playing. So if they were going to start the twenty one day window for after the bye week, they probably already would have started. Now they can activate him at any point, and he can be active at any point, so they could activate him in the bye week and let him practice a little bit and maybe use that as an opportunity to kind

of work back into the fold. But how much would that turn the needle for you, Isaiah, because you even had a little bit of a look when when Patrick saying Jalen Tolbert season man and because he hasn't really done anything yet and James Washington coming back into the fold, does that help you fill out your receiving core enough to where you wouldn't have to go get somebody prior

to the Tuesday trade the deadline. If James Washington is in fact and he is over he's able to overcome that mental hurdle that I'm very familiar with coming off of a foot injury, because it is real when you have a foot injury and you're expected to run full speed and plant in turn, it kind of gets on you a little bit mentally. So if he's able to overcome that and be the guy that he's been in recent years, I am more than confident that this offense has all the am all that they need to get

back to what they did last year. I could agree with that. I could agree with that. I said it a hundred times. I'll say it again. I was really high on James Washington coming out of Okay State. I really was, and I don't think he was utilized correctly in Pittsburgh. Again, it was a young guy being asked to make an aging Ben Roethlisberger look great. Keeping in mind there were also other wide receiver talents up there very well, So he was buried on the depth chart.

Now he's going to be buried here if you assume that Cedelane will hit his stride, Michael Gallop will get his stride, and Noah Brown doesn't have a game that he had on Sunday, and everybody's entitled to a bad game. But that's not where Noah Brown has been trending. He's been trained to continue to be a big contributor for the offense. Well, that puts James Washington at w R four, which means you're not going to get a ton of snaps, which means you need to be highly effective in the

snaps that you do get. But that said, I believe he can be. But he hasn't had training camp because he was lost in first week of training camp. He was trying to find his legs in training camp. As far as getting acclimated to Kelly Moore, and Dak Prescott's time in the system. So when he comes back, we talk about temporary expectations. He's going to need some time.

He's quite literally never played in this offense. He had only three or four days of training camp in this offense and only one in pats and one in pads, So he's going to have to acclimate it's levels to this. So he has to get through level one, which is basically the training camp phase, which then kind of moves into the preseason phase. You might not see prime James Washington until you get to the back end of the season closer to the playoffs, but I tell you what,

that's when you want to get hot anyway. So good point. If the offense is clicking at that point, and then James Washington by that point mid December late December finds his groove in this offense, then absolutely you could be talking about an offense that could, if not match, serve with the defense, they can most certainly threaten some opposing defenses. Put it that way, there was a storyline that kind of emerged yesterday. It was a little under the radar.

I don't know how people are really taking it at the moment. But it gets the juices turning a little bit. You're talking about acquiring a wide receiver at the trade deadline. I know where you're going. There's one out there that could sign too. There's one out there that could sign. And Michael Irvin yesterday on our partners station one O five three to fan said that Odell Beckham Junior would love to be a cowboy. That was what Mike said.

So you don't look interested? Are you interested? I'm not? Why not? I have a cap room to do a move like that. You have the cap him to go and get a guy like that, especially if he's going to take a little bit of a pay cut because he wants to be on a wedding team. I don't think those who are in charge of this offense are capable of or I say they're capable, I'll say I

don't think they're willing. He was headed right down that path and I don't believe that they are willing, nor do they have the patience to deal with a personality type as of O'Dell Beckham. I can see that. I'm not. It's not to say that he's he can obviously, if he's healthy, he can contribut but he's a beast, right, he's one of the best in the league. Why not a problem there? And I think you get him on a favorable, favorable deal all those things, right, would he

help you on offense? Absolutely all those things. However, when he doesn't get his way, he's not wanting to be quiet about it. And this organization historically has gotten rid of anybody who verbally voices their opinions on things rather offense or defense, they just don't allow you to hang around. So this organization I don't think is willing to handle

all personality of that. And I don't think that the offense are Kellen Moore, Nora McCarthy have the patience to deal with somebody who was that demanding offense on the offenside of the ball. I agree, And this was the same reason why when he was with the Giants and things started to fall apart in New York and people were like, oh well, go trade for him, go get him, go get him mouse Like the personalities just don't match, They just don't match. And that's it's the same guys,

the same personality. And this is not to take away from his skill set because he obviously he's one of the more talented wide receivers in the league when he's healthy. But then in that same breath, you got to look at the fact that he's dealt with some major several major injuries. This is his second toWin ACIL, if I'm not mistaken, it is over the past two or three seasons. So you don't know how much you're going to get from him anyway. Now, you don't necessarily need a ton

if you're top three are doing their job. But then guess what if the top three are doing their job and OBJ is on the roster, and that means he's w R four, maybe James Washington starts to hit his prime in December, so now he's battling with James Washington. That's a very vocal OBJ at that point, he's Yeah, you're playing one. You're playing You're paying a wide receiver one money to a guy that is going to be your wide receivers coin to be buried. They're not going

to put anybody in position to challenge CD Lamb. Let's just be real. They just got rid of Mary Cooper, so that clam step up. You know, the we just we're seeing us everywhere, right, The Raiders just got rid of freaking Big John right, because they have younger guys that they want to flourish. So this is why Robert Quinn got traded. Same thing there. You're seeing it over and over again. So this organization is not going to, uh,

you know, make it more difficult. They're not gonna throw wood chips on the soil of a CD lamb to make it to make it harder for him to sprout up out the ground, you know what I mean, like and or possibly create a locker room issue in the process. You gotta be wary of that. And so I'm of the mindset that OBJ does ultimately return to Los Angeles. They have some things to figure out out there, but

they're back at five hundred or three and three. There were some people that said, hey, no, see what about Kansas City, that that would have been a good look. But guess what they just traded for Kadarius Tony. Now that's not to say that they don't double down and pick pick up Obi Jan free agency, because you're not giving up anything other than money to do so you're not giving up draft picks. So it's still possible. But again I'm of the mindset he goes back to LA.

He's out there, he's comfortable, he's he's on the sideline for almost every game in LA. Hint, hint, hint. He's having you know, backdoor conversations with Sean McVay in that organization, so they've got the inside track to OBJ. But if you're asking me gun, in my head, sign OBJ, I don't see the fit neither personality wise nor schematically. He's just going to end up being upset because he's not going to be one or two or three. Maybe three, but he'd have to you know, fight Noah Brown for three.

But you know, I completely agree with you, guys, which I'm very disappointed in. I wanted some discussion sor Yeah, I wanted some debate, and but I do I agree. I'm right there with you because you really look at you look at ob J as a guy who could come in and play really well. That's the that's the risk you're willing to take. That's what you're trying to get to. You want him to come in and provide production. But there's the fit aspect in the locker room. Which

I'm not saying he's a locker room problem. I just don't think he's a fit in this specific locker room. He's gonna go to wherever he's going to go, and he's gonna be just fine. He just won a Super Bowl in La for Ry now out because he was a great fit. He's not a bad fit in any locker room. However, from a receiving standpoint, he's how different

is he from Ceedee Lamb? Not by a whole lot, at least in skill set, right, he can at least stretch the field a little bit more, maybe a little bit more vertical he would give you, But scheme wise the same. Does he give you anything different? He gives you the same underneath as CD does. Yeah, and you know that's kind of exactly where I meant I mean. And then look at we talk about the ramput period

for James Washington. OBJ, he'll ramp up a little bit quickly because he's been through this before and he's a veteran in the league with more years under his belt than James Washington, so that'll help him expedite his ramp up. But the ramp up still exists. He's coming off with twenty. He's not coming here again. The whole thing is my whole thing is I say it's done with the conversation. Let's move on. All right, we're going to break. Sorry, everybody I say, I want to go to break. He's

he's throwing a fit. He's being a diva today because he's dressed nicely on today with your chest Friday. All right, when we come back here on talking Cowboys, we'll give us or give you our matchups to watch, and we'll talk about what the Cowboys can do to get to six and two against the Chicago Bears when we return right after this.

All right, gentlemen, let's give our matchups to watch, and we, of course we've got plenty to talk about matchups wise, if you want to give me more than one, you could certainly do that because we've got plenty of time here. We're gonna talk it over. By the way, if you want to be a call caller on our

fan Pickum segment, give us a call right now. Eight eight eight eight five five two two nine seven. You may be sitting there for a little bit, but Chris Beam's gonna answer the phone. Eight eight eight five two two nine seven. I say someone new out here. Yeah, we're not gonna do be in Toledo, Ohio from Yea or Robert from Frisco, yea from from We know you're listening to Robert. Oh, he's always listening. All right, Isaiah, give me your matchups to watch. What's going on in

your mind for this matchup with the Bears. I'm gonna get the receivers, Kyle. I think in Dallas, receivers versus secondary of the good old players, not a lot of big names, but they play collectively well. This is the fifth ranked team in terms of takeaways collectively, and they're the third ranked team in terms of past defense. So regardless of the fact that you know they'd have one big name back there in Brisker there, they're Ricky safety,

who's a complete dog. Don't throw it up his way because he'll take it literally one handed, like he did last week. But these guys just play well together. And it's it's kind of scary when you play teams like that, because you want to be able to point out and say, oh yeah, you gotta watch out for this guy. Oh yeah, you gotta watch out for these two players here. These guys are really good and they do this really well.

But when you can't really point that out and these guys are sitting at the top three or what they do, it's like, all right, something to these cats, now, you know. And I think a team that plays collectively well together is much more of a threat than a team that has a couple, you know, one or two highlight players. So definitely a challenge for our receiver group as these guys are trying to get things figured out. They haven't been dominant all year long. I don't care what your

emotions are in regards to that. The Dallas Cowboys receivers have not been dominant. This offense has not been dominant passing wise. They've been at the bottom of the league to date. There's a lot to prove on that side. And they still are trying to get Dak ramped up. They had to pull him back last week because he got a little happy gil More out there, okay, he admitted it. Kellen Moore got got got his pal pals

than by coach McCarty. Okay, So I think that they're gonna try it again, right, They're gonna col Moore is gonna say, okay, how about now, coach, can I go try it again this time? And you just have to be careful because again between the team being really good on their pass defense and really good and takeaways, it sounds like a Dallas Cowboys team from last year, very well played. I can't get away from until your point there are you know, several matchups that we could circle.

But I can't get away from Michael Parsons versus Justin Fields. I just I can't shake it because this, this goes to between those two young men, This goes to bragging. Right, It's not just the victory, just not just a win loss. All I heard in my head DMX, get him right? restI peace to the great. But Michael Parsons and Justin Fields they have a personal relationship, a positive personal relationship

off the field. They share the same agent. But I think if you know anything about Michael Parsons, anytime there's an added level of competition to it, right, he kicks it up to match that level of competitions. So obviously he the lion is on the hunt for when for the cowboys. Add to that, it'll be Justin Fields on the opposite side of the ball, a friend of his, and they have these friendly competitions. He said the other day that they race often and when he was asked

who's faster? Is he faster than Justin Fields? He was like, yeah, no question, it's not even close. He knows this, go ask him. This is Michael Parsons telling you they have Hey, they have a positive relationship. But b you might be my friend and all, but I'm really trying to end you when it's trying when you know when it's time to get the guns out. So Michael Parsons speed, justin Fields, speed to when, and it seems inevitable when they meet

in the open field. Can Justin get away from the lion, and even if he does catch the edge, can he get distance on the lion. We saw what the lion can do when he chases you from behind. We've seen what he can do when he squares you up. So that's going to be a fantastic matchup. And obviously you can throw win someone like Donovan Wilson as well. Donovan is going to be asked to kind of drop down and help contain Justin Field. So that's another matchup to watch.

That kind of pivots on the justin fields item. But for me, Michael Parsons justin Fields And oh, by the way, let's sprinkle in a little OSU PSU rivalry as well, because again, there are levels to this, and that's another level. So bragg And writes the bad Blood as far as Penn state versus OSU personal relationship, same agent, you don't need any more fuel for the lion. But here, yeah, you want to add, I've got some more, some more,

I've got some more flats. So yes, not only were they a part of the same draft class, not only were they coming from the same conference and two rivals that were really good when both of those teams played each other. I mean, justin Fields as a junior played against Michael Parsons, I guess he was a sophomore played against Michael Parsons and partsons final year playing for Penn State. But then, of course Parsons took a year off Fields did not, So they've always had that connection. Prior to

the NFL Draft, they were working out together. They was in a small group of about five draftees and they were five elite draftees. It was them too. I know Kyle Pitts was a part of that group. There was I want to say, there were two more guys that were part of that and they would work out day and day out to get ready for the NFL Draft, and it was Fields and Parsons that were right in

the midst of that conversation. Then it even gets deeper when you get to draft Day and the Cowboys are sitting at pick number ten, right, they just had both of those corners come off the board. They had jac Horn picked by the Carolina Panthers. Then they had Pats or Tan taken at nine by the Denver Broncos. In their sitting at ten and they're saying, Oh my gosh, what do we do? Guess it was the first team to call to try and trade for that number ten

overall pick wasn't the Philadelphia Eagles. It was the Chicago Bears, what the Bears called the Cowboys, and they were trying to trade up, but they didn't want to go higher than a fourth round pick, or I think at the time it was maybe a fifth round pick something like that. They were they were trying to get up and take that tenth spot because they wanted to jump in front of New York and they wanted to take Justin Fields. Instead, the Cowboys took a better offer, a third round pick

that ultimately ended up being Chauncey Golston from Philadelphia. Basically, the phone was answered, Chicago took it, or Chicago was on that other line. They hung up, the phone, picked it back up and it was Philadelphia. So Chicago did everything they could to try and take that tenth pick from the Cowboys. Well what did they do instead? The Cowboys take a step back, They go to twelve, and then here comes Chicago on the phone with New York.

Can we trade for your number eleven pick? New York says yes, gets I think a fourth round you're involved in there, and then the Bears take Justin Fields. The Cowboys are sitting at pick number twelve and they take Michael Parsons. So they're jointed at the hip because of the competitiveness in college, the workout leading up to the draft, they were drafted and simultaneous picks that almost ended up

being the same pick. And now they're playing each other again and they're going to continue to grow as well, same age, and they've just got all these connections and all these different flakes to the crustchup for me, really really fun. Is not hurting. No, it's got two guys that are going to be in the league for quite something. Call me, I can get your two snaps. That's all you need. It's all you get, But that's all you need,

all right. Mine is gonna be And since we haven't talked about the ground game at all, it's gonna be the running backs versus this front seven for the Cowboys, and specifically in the front seven, I'm gonna put a lot of pressure on the defensive tackles because right in the middle you got Amy that up, and then also who the guys right behind it. I'm not gonna say

Hankins initially, I think he'll play. I think he'll be active, just based off of my own incombinations twelve oh wow, twelve, Why they're ramp up, Well, he only played like fifteen snaps in the last two weeks. He didn't play a whole lot in his last two games, So maybe there that Maybe that's why I don't think he plays forty five snaps, So he's not gonna be in there at time. I'd give him fifteen. Match it from this MM you get into the big two, I'd give him fifteen and

see how how things are going. Get them things are going well, then don't put them. I'm getting twenty. As far as rotation wise, I mean, he wasn't going to play one hundred percent of snaps anyway. I mean, who does on that defensive line whose name was on the shoulder. He's been active in the NFL this year on the seven games. Put him in the game, play him cannon. What do you have to tell a you have a gap or you have b gap? You're one ja yours?

You know zero, you're three? Like right, that's it. That's all he needs he does. It's not like you have to learn a whole new defense. They're simply just telling him what shade. He could walk in that huddle on game day, not having practice at all this week, and they can get they could break the huddle. Mike calls the place and he turns or whoever it is that's next to him and say, hey, what gap of gout? And they tell him he's okay, cool, And that's all he gots to do. That's it. Go get him big.

There's not a lot for him to learn. We got a hankering for some hankins. Oh okay, mister hanky, we got hanker. No, no, I think that I think that one. Min I'm out on that one. No, no no. But I'll say, since you asked the question, you said, who who would it be? I would say probably a combination of what we've seen previously, Osa di Gizuo, Neville, Gallamore, Quentin, Bohan at Tristan Hill and then Jonathan Hankins in the middle there too. Those are my guys. You're hankering for

some hankering for some Hankins. Let's make T shirts. I like it. We've we got a lot of T shirt sayings that could be on this show and the hash hot fire. Dude, there's a store that opened up next to my facility. I can't say the stair cut. I don't think they're sponsible, probably not. They sell so many machines. Did you ever not someone but embroidering machines? Do you know how expensive these things are? I could imagine that's big business. What would you think, like the most expensive

one in the store, what would you guess? This? Two grand? Okay, this is my plane? Twenty thousand? Oh okay, Bammeric coming in hot five, new car, eighteen racks, Wow close, Wow, great job. And the ladies said, oh, I have one at my house that's fifty thousand. Embroidering machines. They're lasers. Some of them are lasers. Yeah, yeas and stuff. How many clips are you selling? Anyways? I know this way off topic, but I was just random, way off top. Sorry,

you gonna hear something that's on topic. I looked up the client list for Parsons Agent. You want to know this top four client absolutely Shaun Watson, Jalen Ramsey Thomas, and Derwin James. So he is not struggling. He is worth. Forbes puts him at forty. But he's got a different But he's got all those you go, Buddha Baker. Um, we've got Kyle's favorite tight ends pits. Yeah. J C. Horne. I mean this guy's got him will Yeah Fields, Isaiah Simmons.

He almost just wrecked that whole draft class, Like he just almost took the whole twenty one draft class. He's got Jordan Love Yeah, there you go. Snare, he's actually got uh Malie Hooker. There you go. There you go a little connection there at a battle. Very interesting, somebody we most definitely hope to see on the field against the Bears. Yes, great point, great point. Um, So I didn't get to finish my matchup because we could started

talking about sewing machines. Thank you, Isaiah for agents and agents apparently. But yeah, I mean you can't let David Montgomery and Khalil Herbert run all over you. So not only the defensive tackles, but I'll go into linebackers too. I think Anthony Barr and Layton Vanderesh, I want to see some downhill push from those guys. I want to see them reading the ball quickly. I want to see them making that first step, that first cut, making that

move and making a play. Because Isaiah, we've seen it on multiple occasions where they get washed off or they get just a little a little bit antsy. I think Layton Vanderesh is having a good season, not a great season, not a bad season. I think he's having good season. That's a great point, much better than a lot of people perceiving Anthony Barr. I still I still haven't seen

the Anthony Bar that we signed. That's my biggest concern right now is we still haven't seen Anthony Barr in a Cowboys uniform the same way that he was in Minnesota. I think we saw him in Los Angeles? Do you think so that game? I think we saw him. He didn't play well in that game. Okay, Isaiah, why are you making that face? Because I thought I'd said that a long time ago college. Did you along? I've never looked at you crazy. No, there's no way especially not

on that one. I'm looking forward to seeing the young Buck challenge these guys. You need people to push you in order for you to step out your comfort zone. When you get out your comfort zone, you find out whether you're gonna step up or you're gonna step down. That's what Damon Carker is about to do to vander Esh. That's what he's about to do to Anthony Barr. Either gonna elevate these guys game or you're gonna take their

spot one or two. Come fellow former LSU team brok. Yeah, we haven't heard how much of him is going to have to rise with Yeah, So I love I love competition. So I know that name hasn't been brought up because he's still ramping up and all that jazz. But for guys, yeah, look for guys to have to elevate their game. So those guys that you're like, oh, well, you know they're doing okay, they're going to do better than okay because you have a hungry you know, a little lion cub

that's coming right behind them. Facts, and I got something to say with my chest about the Bears run offense, but I'll save it for after the break, but oh you want to say it? Like it? Patrick? What the tease? Give us a call be a part of our pickup segment eight eight eight eight five five two two ninety seven. I've got some such as standings updates, and uh, one of us in this room is not going to be

got real quick, real quick? Yeah, real quick, real quick. Can we get to Yes we can. Let's do Draft Kings. Sorry, I forgot about that. Here's our Draft Kings play for free for over a million dollars with deposit picks this week. These are under the radar guys. Dak Prescott sixty six hundred, Tony Pollard sixty one hundred. How about Jake Ferguson replacing Dalton Scholtz. He's at twenty seven hundred. He looks like

a bargain right there. Then the Cowboys defense, they're only costing four grand against this Bears offense, Isaiah thinking, you know what I'm thinking. I'm going right there to the Jake Ferguson baby First, I'm going to Ulicious because Dak Prescott loves tight ends, and his number one tight end right now is banged up. I don't care to do it to him five times. I don't care that he

cut at five times. That kneecap is not right. So he's gonna go to the next best guy, and that is mister Jake Ferguson, get your money worth right there, twenty seven hundred dollars. That's a discount double check for you right there. Get it. While of getting this good chief, you know what, I try to get some versatility and get away from choosing the Cowboys on the draft. Kings and I have over the past couple of weeks. But I'm going back to them. I'm going back to the

Cowboys for four grand. And I know they're going against a rushing defense that is very prolific in the Chicago Bears. But here's where, here's where I say it with my chest. Okay, So I think I think the Cowboys, with the addition of Jonathan Hankins and the added levels of competition that exists between Michael Parsons and Justin Fields, I think the Cowboys hold the Chicago Bears to under one hundred yards

on the ground in this game. And because they do that, and I don't believe Justin Fields can win this game with his arm with the lack of talent to Mooney Equanimius Saint Brown. So yeah, Cowboys defense four grand, I think they they go crazy. He didn't bring him, my boy, Dante pedistal Man. I didn't bring didn't bring him here. He had some rushing, y'all rushing, He's rushing. He's quick, guys quick. So I'm not gonna try and match the energy that you guys both brought to the segment because

I love it, but I am going to match the craziness. Oh, give me Dak Prescott at sixty second. I think Dak is gonna just throw all over the Bears in this light. I think I can make up with it later on and Draft Kings, I think I can make it happen. But give me Dak Prescott to change things up a little bit here on the show once again. Play for free for over a million dollars on DraftKings dot com. All right, let's now update the standings. Thank you Biemer for the reminder on that one. We need to get

that in to pay the bills. Uh. We've got Isaiah taking things up at the top. Right. He went five and one last week, big time. When for Isaiah, he is twenty two and eleven overall, sitting just two games back in second place. Is our very own Patrick No see Walker here, I is yeah creep in here. Patrick also went five and one last week Peeks, the fans are in third place. They are one game back from

Patrick in nineteen fourteen. They went three and three last week, even three and three with our boy Bobby from West Dallas aka Heck Harrison. Yeah, I would love one because I'm one game under five hundred. I'm not defending my title with any kind of uh, any kind of tenacity at this point sixteen and seventeen. I did go four and two last week, though, so I'm trying to make a comeback, but I didn't make up any ground. That just made up ground on like five hundred level. I

lost the game with you guys right now. You're kind of Brady Rogers in this thing out, you know, great way to pay totally Okay, I'm compared to those touring on your marble floors. All right, We've got Steve in Mississippi representing the fans this week. Steve, how's it going? Welcome to talking cowboys? What's up, guys? How y'all doing what you tell them about the gun line? How do you how do you spell Mississippi? When somebody says, how

do you spell Mississippi? How do you express that to them? Oh? It's it's Uh, it's it's m got a letter, humpback cook leg a cook letter. There is hump back humpback guy. Yeah, I'm talking about. I'm talking about And when you say Mississippi, you gotta cut out one of the syllables. So it's Misssippi. You got to right, it's Mississippi by the Southern boys, Missippi. The next time that I go to Mississippi, I say it like that. I'm not gonna say it with the

That's how they know outsider as it's Mississippi. Yeah, start Vegas, Start Vegas in particular. Now, so I'm home where that came from. Okay, Hell State. I was about to say, are you a fan? But there you go, Hall State? There you from Mississippi. Stated I've always wanted to make a trip out there, So I got a cow bill for you there. I would love that. That sounds like a lot of fun. All Right, we're gonna start things off with the Broncos and the Jags. This is the

nine thirty game. I'll across the pond out in London. Uh long plane ride for Russell Wilson and company. He may be looking out in the ailie knees on the am doing so, uh, Steve, who you got in that one? Don't trust the Broncos. Gotta take the Jags. Give me the Jags in this one, Isaiah, Never trust a quarterback who leaves the Seahawks going with the with the Jags. Okay, Jags nearly defeated the New York Giants. I think they're better than the record indicates. And I just don't trust

the guy who does high knees on the airplane. I'm going with the Jags. It's not a video, it was he said it. He said he was working out for three hours and doing high knees in the airline. Wild players. I think that extra work pays off for Russell will stop back. Give me the Broncos in London to take down the Jacks. I do agree with you, though, I think the record is better. I mean the team is better than the record shows. For the Jags, I think

they're just riot on the arts there. They got to close out some games though, for me to give them some love. Cardinals on the road against the Vikings. Cardinals struggling a little bit here, but they do have DeAndre Hopkins back and healthy as he made his return last week. Isaiah, who guy the Cardinals at the Vikings. Oh, Vikings, Okay, I'm gonna take Minnesota here too. Yeah until Leslie Minnesota stumble, particularly at home, I'm glowing with Minnesota. Steve clean sweep.

I got the Vikings. I think Dalvin could goes off of this game. There you go. Look, Raiders at the Saints. Give me the Raiders on the road at the Superdome to get it done. I believe Andy Dalton. Oh no, I don't know who's starting in that game, because I've seen both Andy and Riston, so yeah, give me, give me the Raiders. I don't know who's starting in that game. So all right, Patrick, I don't think they know who's

starting in the game. Give me them with the red rifle. Baby, you think he's starting, Andy Win, No, he's starting, okay, Uh, Steve another meme. Yeah, I've been back and forth in this one. I think Dalton gets to start. I just can't. I don't know what the Saints been been at home. I gotta take them because they're tough at home, but Jacob's tough. I think I'm going with the Saints and this one. That's right nice. I like it. Commanders and

the Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium. Patrick, you know what, I'm willing to potentially take an l on this just because I really don't like that organization. Give me the Coats to figure out how to get it done with Sam. Sam's going to hook him. Uh yeah, give me the Colts in this one too. Give me Indy who you got command them to beat the Colts. Yeah, no, y'all tripping. I appreciate y'all tripping though. Yeah, you can take that game, absolutely, Steve.

I'm taking the Colts in this and again, this is a home home team battle here, so I got You're on a own on an island. We're about to pick up a game, Robert, I'll bet you're gonna be dying on that island too. This one I have gone. I've looked at this game all morning long, and I've gone back and forth on it. The forty nine Ers on the road against the Rams. You talk about two teams that just have not figured it out, but certainly have the talent to figure it out at some point, but

they just haven't done so yet. Forty nine ers at the Rams. Steve will start with you. Yeah, I got I got the Niners here. I think I think they travel well this game. That defense, I got some guy key guys back with bosa Um. I just think they're too much for the Rams. Pat I agree. I think the forty Niners can do defensively what the Cowboys can do. So they go in and the hand of the Rams. That way, I got the Niners, I rs C Macdebo, Brandon, Auk, Wilson, Julie. Yes,

forty nine Ers. I gotta make up some ground here. Oh you're crazy. Give me the Rams baby. Coming off a bye week, Sean McVay has had two weeks to scheme up with San Francisco, a team that he knows quite well. Because McCaffrey's just got to give me Mcca. I mean, give me a big va Rams. I'm saying me Bay in the Rams. It's the Rams. It's the Rams. It's already slew. All right. Well yeah, maybe one, two, three, four, five, all right? That means our sixth one the Bears at

the Cowboys. Can the Cowboys win their second straight against the NFC North. Can they go into the bye week at six and two and slow down the Chicago Bears number one rushing attack in the NFL. Steve will start with you. All right, guys, look I got I'm gonna I'm gonna take some predictions here, makes some predictions here. I think number number nine gets a TV this week. Finally Dank's gonna get a TV and we gonna get

a defensive touchdown. I got the I got the Cowboys thirty one Bear sixteen and it's the latest boy for the Bears. And I like you to saying it with your chess. Steve, Thanks for calling in, thanks for listening as always, you're one of our favorite callers already, just the way you spell it out, Thank you so much. Appreciate your Steve. No, Mississippi, lets go there, you go, There you go, Steve from Mississippi. Here on talking Cowboys.

Let's go with Patrick first. We're gonna I'm gonna, like I said said much us earlier, I think the Cowboys hold the Russian attack, the multi headed Russian attack of the Bears to less than one hundred yards. Two defenses have done it this season. One the forty nine ers that we were just talking about. That's a pretty good defense. Yep. The Vikings also achieved it held him to under eighty yards.

So it's most certainly doable and the Cowboys have both the blueprint and the personnel to do it, and now they have Downathan Hankins. So give me Cowboys to get this one twenty seven to ten. I think Juckin Fields runs one in, but I think that's all they get outside of a field goal. Other than that, the Cowboys get a seventeen point victory going into the bye week

getting ready for Aaron Rodgers. I've got a gut feeling, guys. Okay, come on, we did a gut feeling and I'm not even gonna pull a lead corso here and say, oh my gosh, there's one way. The pars are just so good on the brown. I've got a gut feeling in a good way. This isn't the bubble guts. This is the This is the anxious guts black rifle of Miller. Like, no, this is this is just straight black rifle. Street. Oh, this is just getting just betty gritty, which just gunpowder

in the in the coffee. Everybody's gonna look at me crazy, And I love that. For this specific te at forty Burger, aren't you. I think it's the first one. I think it's the first forty Burger the series I'm going to Waterburger down the street and I'm ordering a forty burger and if they do so, I'm bringing everybody water burger on Monday. Baby, I'm bringing Isaiah Waterburger. I'm bringing Pat Waterburger.

I'll get your hash brown eggs, whatever you want, and then I'll get I'll get a water burger for Beemer in the back too. We'll all enjoy it. Than Yeah, we'll all enjoy it. Even Jazz in the back. I'll get her a burger too. If the Cowboys win it like that, I think it's forty one thirteen cowboys, just a straight beat down. And as one spice Adam said on this podcast after the cameras were off, oh the

bears are gonna get snitching thrash. All right. If I'm a cowboy and I'm on my horse and I'm going through the woods and I know that there's some bears around, I'm probably gonna have a bear gun. And if I ever got ran a bomb by a beer I'm I'm gonna take that that beer gun out and I'm gonna hit that son something joker, you know what I'm saying. So, miss miss Tipsta, So I'm gonna hit that joker and I'm gonna beat the Bears twenty one to seventeen. I think this game is gonna be a lot closer than

people anticipate. We went from National Geographic in our Pickham segments to the History Channel or AMC whatever you want to straight Leo di Caprio, I love it. I love ready for my petty mill.
