Talkin' Cowboys: Bold on the Boundary

It with your Chest Friday of the regular season. We are into playoffs Say It with the Chess Friday starting as soon as next Friday. But for now we are going to talk about the Cowboys and the Washington Commanders. Week eighteen of the NFL season is here. You know who else is here? Who else is here? Patrick no Cea Walker is here. I do happen to be here? Isaiah standing back is here. Chris Beam is also there. Yeah, you definitely deserve better than that. I'm Kyle Yeoman's glad

you're with us, gentleman. How are we doing fantastic? I'm good man. Yeah, freaking Friday. You know it is Friday, Friday. Let's get it feeling good. So we were talking before we got on air about the Call of Duty night we had last night. Oh did you get the invite? I did not know. I was actually Isaiah did get an invite. He's just trying to make things up. It didn't work out. I don't hat trick. You actually didn't

get an invite, and I apologize for that. I'll make sure you would have loved I make sure your cons would have been awesome. One point one two right now? Oh yeah, so I don't mind zero zero. I think Beamer is like a three point eight. That dude is rolling Beamer. Seriously, Beamer is next level. His nephew is a little bit more so. He hit seventy pop last night. He had seventy four kills in a game one game,

not kidding you. It was crazy. What's your record? Co like Mike k d no maximum kills, most kills in like, uh on this game? Thirty five? Oh he actually happened like a couple of days ago. It was like fifty nine or something like that. We're not talking about are we talking about war zone? Not war? Not war? We were We were just right. We had too many people we had. We had a full squad of six, we had d MAC was on the last night, Ferry Church was on. The church was on last night. Y'all gotta

get me in on that going Isaiah. We asked Isaiah to come and he didn't. He didn't Texas. You know mouse and keyboard people. You said you had to buy the game. You are you the piece no spots controller on my PC. But he's a PC guy. You're a PC, Isaiah said, I want to use I'm not seeing you. Come on. I'm not you know you're not. I am a consoler, but I understand the benefits. I am a consoler as well. But I have a very very pricey freaking computer and I'm gonna use it. I understand that. Yeah,

I get it. I did try to use my keyboard, and that's just much just I just don't have time to try. I don't have the multitasking abilities. I've tried those keyboard and mouse because I've seen that at an elite level, and that's that's something else I'm I'm I'm not willing to commit time to. I wish they would come back out with the first Call of Duty. Just reading that thing was awesome. That wasn't the best. It

did my conversation for them, that wasn't the best. Freaking BMG, baby, The best one is Modern Warfare too, the original iteration, the original iteration, original black ops for me, m or no, no multiverse in my in my on my planet, in my multi version. It's my opinion. So yeah, it's like an Infinity warfare kind of guy. Wow, that was the biggest in soul he's ever thrown at you on this show. All right, for all those that aren't Call of Duty fans,

this is talking cowboys. Let's do some news and note, shall we. Let's get the Cowboys were back out on the practice field yesterday. They'll have a walk through today and then of course take on the Washington Commander's coming up on Sunday. Final news and notes of the regular season fellas happy happy playoff time, Happy playoff, Happy playoff. But before we get to the playoffs, we do, in fact have to run through the Washington Commander's face, as

Marshawn Lynch would so eloquently put it. Cowboys injury report yesterday, as expected, Tyler Biadas remains a non participant. Did not participate on yesterday. He is expected to miss week a team, but he is expected to return with the high ankle sprain or from the high ankle sprain to start the playoffs. Hopefully that remains the case. Calvin Joseph who missed on Wednesday with a tooth issue slash toothache. He was back in full capacity on Thursday. DeMarcus Lawrence limited, which is

not a surprise. He's been that for a while dealing with several issues, but continues to play at a high level. Late Vander Esche continues to participate. He was limited as well, but they're ramping him up for the start of the playoffs. Lv said himself earlier this week that he is ready feeling good, but the Cowboys are not. It doesn't seem like they're going to give him any stops whatsoever again against Washington, just to preserve him for as much as

possible for the playoffs. And Tony Pollard second consecutive day of being a full participant, he is, in fact back. Cowboys are not interested in having conversations about resting anyone. When asked if Tony Pollard or how important it was for Tony Pollard to get his one thousand yards, Ezekiel Elliot said absolutely, very important, and he said he will get them, so obviously you can't get him if you don't play. Pollard will likely be on the field against Washington.

Speaking of Washington, as far as their injury report is concerned, they only had three chains, just a ton of did not participate or dnps, I should say again, for a second consecutive day. They moved running back Antonio Gibson. You were asking about Gibson yesterday as he has been moved to IR so he is done its official tank season. He isn't done. And the linebacker Nathan Gary, who did not have a practice designation on Wednesday, he was DNP

on Thursday. The only person that was a participant was Montes Sweat, and he was a full participant. I don't know if he was just out there running around by himself, but it seems like everybody else has kind of called it these past couple of quints. So yeah, that's that's the latest on the injury front from the Cowboys. Head coach Mike McCarthy asked him specifically about Matt Farniac. How does he look physically back at practice? Does he have

a chance to take the field against Washington? He said yesterday Thursday would be quote unquote a big day for Farniyac. So obviously that doesn't disqualify him. Yeah, if Farniac looked good at with everything they threw at him, and it sounds like they were going to throw the kids and sink at him yesterday to test him out. If he looks good, he's got a chance to start ramping up. I asked him yesterday. I got to talk with both him and Connor McGovern and, well, we'll have a conversation

about this and as we get into the show. But Matt basically told me that it's up to the coaching staff from here on out. He said he feels good, but he also said this is practice number two since he got injured on that pat earlier in the season. So he was saying, yeah, this practice number two. So he was like, maybe it's probably gonna take a little bit of time because yes, there's a twenty one day window. No,

you don't have to use all twenty one days. However, two is a short amount of time before you throw

him back on in the field. However, he said basically he doesn't anticipate plan He didn't say that straight up, but he the way that he kind of sounded is that he thinks it'll be Connor McGovern this week and then he'll work into a reserve and backup role next week to see that handle if possible, Um, you at devate him because you got a spot now, yeah, you do wave of James Washington, So you activate him to the roster and you you let you see how things

flesh out on Sunday and if you handle your business in this game is more or less over by halftime early middle of the third quarter, then you put Fanniok in and let him finish out the game. So there there's your rips for fanniac if you can expect that plan. So that for me, that would be uh, that'd be money. That'd be great. And they're not going to throw him out on the field unless the training staff says he's ready. So if he's out on the field, that's a good thing.

That's a great thing actually, so good to see. I also asked about which one of you, between Connor McGovern and Matt Farniok is more comfortable at center, and it's Connor McGovern, which kind of surprised me a little bit because Connor McGovern said I've played center pretty much my entire life high school prep, going into college, played back and forth between guard and center, and then he worked into that role of course in a spot duty on

Thursday Night football, whereas Matt Farniok, he played only tackle and guard through high school and college and then turned around and they basically said, hey, you're going to be a sinner in the NFL at at the Dallas Cowboys. So when you when you switch positions back and forth, Isaiah, what you've done a couple of times in your career. Yeah,

how tough is that to do? And I know we've talked about offensive lineman before, but is it like a ride and a bike going back to a position or do you have to kind of ramp back up and get back into it. It depends if you're going just down the block or if you're going for actual ride around through the neighborhood. You need to get your legs

back underneath you. You need to your appropriateception, your awareness, you're you know, your expectations right, your anticipation, everything that goes along with being good at your job has to get back rapped up. It's almost like a dog on diesel that has been sitting right. You gotta let that thing run for a minute. Okay, So if you're being interchanged, you know every so many plays, you can't really get settled in fact, even though you have the capabilities of

playing that position. So I would say the more time that they give these individuals, these guys to get settled in, if they are going to be snapping the ball, then let them do it. Just don't take them out, put them in, and let that be the guy for the game because they're gonna need a quarter or whatever they really get get back into the group. But okay, that's right, Okay, when I do this, I do this. Okay, cool, all right, boom right, I'm starting to get my senses back again.

But that's why guys don't like getting swapped in and out. That's why Nate Big Nate Dog hates old lineman getting swapped in and out because as soon as you start thinking that you're figuring things out, all of a sudden, you get subbed out and now you have to recalibrate again. So that would be kind of my my suggestion on that. I mean, I just lean back on what I mentioned as far as what I would like to see if

Farniac is available at all to play the game. You go ahead and you start McGovern at least for some sake of continue considering how you had to finish the Titans game with McGovern at center, and then you go from there, and if it turns out that the game is close then it needs to be or supposed to be, then you know, sorry, Matt, cowboys are trying to win

the game, so you keep it at McGovern. But if it turns out to be a blowout like it should be, then you get mcgoverned out of there and the third quarter or at halftime, because you have to understand that with the expectation that regardless of if McGovern is going to be your starting center, because you need at least one more game with yadis on the sideline or be Adish is ready to come back for Super Wild Car weekend, assuming the Cowboys don't get the number one spot. McGovern

has a ton of value. He's a starter at either center or he's a starter at left guard. So as soon as you can, if there's a chance to pull him, you pull them. But you don't interrupt that upfront, like that's why I'm not saying you put Farniak in and then after about fifteen reps you pull him and put no,

you go with Connor. Let Connor do his job established some kind of fluid you know, motions between him and Zach and Tyler over at left guard and then hand to your business and wants your business is hand to it. Then you can start having conversations about when it's time. If it's time, who you pull? When do you pull them? The center? Center? Yeah, and they do have a center on the practice squad as well. Brock Hoffman is on the practice squad, the twenty three year old out of

Virginia Tech. So if they really needed continuity, there's no way they go back to the original, the original line of scrimmage where it's Tyler Smith Connor McGovern and then you bring a brock Hoffman in in place center to try and keep that continuity, right, No chance that happens, right, It's gonna been governed at center. Yes, I kind of figured that as much. But I'm worried, Kyle, Yeah, yeah,

I have some worries. It's obvious that the Washington commanders are taking Okay, okay, So as a coach, what's your approach to this game? I don't think it's changed from Mike McCarthy's standpoint is that what you're asking I'm not talking about as far as an execution side of the game plan and all that jazz. I'm talking about what's your mindset in terms of your players put them away? Yeah,

don't eat the cheese. I mean it goes back to the same conversation we had against you say, you still show up and you take care of your business, right, But I mean, yeah, very much so like the conversation, right, I sat up here and said, hey, if you go up by thirty, do you pull your guys out? It's very much so the same scenario this week. Yeah, they're taking call it what you want to say. People gonna

say they're gonna still gonna show up and play. Absolutely the backups are okay, they're gonna show up and play, all right, and there's no disrespect. They're still in the NFL. I was a freaking backup, right, But it's not the starters. Okay, it's not the starters. So with that understood, what are you coming You don't even have to communicate it, but in your head as a coach, when we get up by this, I start thinking about the playoffs in the health of my players. Yeah, that has to be a

thought process. It absolutely has to be. You can't just say, Okay, we're gonna go out here, get up by a bunch and I'm just gonna do and keep my guys in. We're gonna play it through because they need a conditioning like no, because you're you're running the risk now of losing guys off of something stupid. I agree, But I do think that there's a there's a number, yes for the Cowboys. A Cowboys team that has now relinquished a fourteen point lead, relinquished a seventeen point lead. So if

you're up fourteen seventeen, No, you're not. You haven't hit your number yet based on how you've played the course of the season, thirty thirty. But if right, if you hit I'll even say twenty four. If you hit twenty four or more, I think that's I think that's a that's a three score lead, but eight, eight and eight exactly, so they would have to get three two point conversions. That's a very lengthy three point or a three possession lead. So I say number, if you if you're up twenty four,

now you can start having the conversation. But you guys agree, there has to be like that. I agree, we can't. I mean, realistically, you can't sit up here and say, oh, ye're just gonna play the guys the whole game. It's another game we need to win. Okay, let's be real. These guys are taking. You see them taking, They're putting guys on ir They're preparing for the next year. They're they're trying to protect their guys going into next year. Okay, now,

whe's your process. You gotta go out there and take your business. However, when they hit this number to that point, I have to start thinking about preparing my guys for the next week because we have a very important to make that much more important to not play with your food this week. You go in there, you smash them, you run through their face, you break their spirit. Early, early, early, early, to allow you to be able to have hit that

magic number so you can start having that conversation. What you don't want to do is play down to your competition here and now it's the beginning of the fourth quarter and it's only a six point lead, and now you can't have the conversation, and now you're you're worried in the back of your mind. At least I really need to escape this healthy now because we might have a playoff game next week. So don't put yourself in that position. You're not even just the better team, just

far and beyond the better team. Here. Go in there, impose you will early, slap them around and can get up out of it. It reminds me of Philadelphia last year. It reminds me of that game you're seating. Was almost all locked in, but there were things you needed for a win. You need If you got to win, it could have helped you. I don't think it ended up helping Dallas last year. I'd have to go back and look. But you need the win to start the dominoes falling right,

and the dominoes can absolutely fall. Arizona could beat San Francisco in a world that probably doesn't exist like this one, It's probably not gonna happen. Philadelphia could lose to New York. That is a little more likely, but still not likely. At the same point, it's more likely than San Francisco losing. You need to win regardless. You need to go ahead and get it done. And you said to slap him up. Is it more disrespectful to slap somebody or to mush them? Slap?

I think a slap will mush almost sounds like like grab your face and and yeah, push you. That's not as disrespectful. And a good old fashioned open hand slap is still easily the most disreput that's up there with spitting. It's like a Will Smith followed through. That's almost a yeah, yeah, that's disrespectful. That's almost if there was spitting somebody's face like a good old like just a wrist slap is at wrist slap or disrespect for or Will Smith slap.

He brought it from the hip. All right, let's try it. So I say I got good, Yeah, I got good. I would say baseball, right, I got the load Ricky of the year. But yeah, you definitely you want to go in there and just slap them around. And it's on their field, and you already know it's going to be a takeover as far as Cowboys fans are concerned.

You know, Commanders fans have been dejected for years. Uh, and even when they weren't dejected, it was still a Cowboys fan takeover for the most part in that stadium. That's why Dak Prescott tends to play well at FedEx Field. That's why the Cowboys tend to play well at FedEx Field. Um, so this should be no different except for in the positive way of the Cowboys are that much more better than this version of the Commanders. So just go up there and this game should be over by halftime, if

not soon, as far as the scoreboard is concerned. You gotta get it done early. You gotta get off to a hot start. You cannot and goes back to the saying we've said all year you cannot play with your food this week. Now, this is not can I do it? This is not to say that because let's keep in mind, and we've said it before and again on the show, that that front for that defensive front for Washington Dron

pay Montes, which at those boys dudes. Right, So you you might have some problems establishing the run up front, etcetera, etcetera. But you get up chunk play here, big play there, and you'll start to see the spirit break. And then once you start to punch it into the end zone, that's when you can start to run away on vacation. That might be one of our they're already Ptoe might be one of our key matchups which we're gonna hit.

On the other side of the break, we're gonna talk about who you should be watching between the Cowboys and the forty nine ers. Plus we've got one final news and note, and it might be the biggest note we've given all season long when we come back here on Talking Cowboy.

with your chest Friday. Glad you're with us as always, And before we get into some matchups. In our biggest news and note of the year, James Wright is your twenty twenty two Cowboys Fan of the Year. James brings the spits to every Dallas Cowboys game and now he needs you to help him bring it to the Super Bowl. Vote for James to be given the ultimate title of NFL Fan of the Year, presented by Captain Morgan by casting your vote at NFL dot com slash Man of

the Years. So one last new news and note. It came across while we were in the middle of our first segment while we were recording this morning on January sixth, twenty three. I'm gonna read this straight for me and Rappaport. This is amazing. For the first time Bill's safety Tomar Hamlin is a dress singing the team via FaceTime. The breathing tube is out. He has spent the morning speaking to various teammates on FaceTime, and now he's delivering a

message to the entire group. I am told he is speaking, he is talking, he is cognitive. I mean, God is good. God is very good. And so your prayers, of course continue because he's still still working. But at least you could take the critical out of it. I think, and I'm not a doctor, but that's that's awesome. Listen considering what we what we witnessed on Monday night, and what the worst case scenario even was because his heart literally stopped.

You know, first responders, the medical staff at you See Health, the training staff for both teams, both organizations, players, coaches, just everybody's support in helping to make sure DeMar Hamblin not only was able to regain consciousness but neurologically intact. He's now breathing on his own, which was something he wasn't able to do as as early as two days ago yesterday, I think it was still fifty percent ventilator required. He is now breathing on his own. He is no

longer intubated, he's talking. Fan freaking tastic, keep going to march. Still got a little bit to go to get out of the woods and get home. But you talk about massive steps forward in a recovery, and in only a short period of time. This guy's a fighter. This guy's an absolute fighter. And I'd be remissed as a parent if I didn't say, you know, continue prayers and positive light to his mom and you know, just his parents as a whole, because just as a parent, I couldn't

fathom what they had to go through this week. So I know she's just all smiles, ear to ear. Her baby boy is smiling and talking. So shouts out to the Hamlin family. Your baby boy looks like he's doing very well. Now, yeah, I can't imagine. I can't imagine, but I mean, just that's just unbelievable. I'm grateful for everybody who sent prayers up for him and his support team and everybody who's had our hand in the care of him. The reporters, they did an amazing job as

well those that have been reporting on it. They've done so with so much empathy respect for the situation. Um, I just think this has been there's no practice reps for this, there's I don't there's no practice reps. And now you know, in the same breath of this and the NFL with the AFCUM adjustments that are being made for their playoffs, that now that kind of becomes the headline discussion. And not to say that Demorrow won't remain it and he will remain it going forward. So continue

to keep your prayers for Demorrow hammling um. But we can walk and chew gum at the same time. So the AFC, there's a lot to unpack there for those covering the AFC teams that they're trying to understand what's happening there. But long story short, there's a coin toss involved. There's you know, if if Kansas City wins and Buffalo dozen and neutral Field, so forth and so on. But at the end of the day, the best possible news

has arrived. DeMar Hambling is awake, speaking, neurologically, intact, and uh in good spirits. So I couldn't have gotten better news on Friday, no doubt. That's how you set the weekend. Yeah, exactly right and continuing to trend in the right direction. But let's let's start our attention back to Cowboys and Commanders. I said forty nine ers in the last segment. I meant commanders, somebody I do. I want revenge. I've got the forty nine ers on the brain. So yeah, let's

not we'll face him. I don't think it's possible we face them first round. But uh so, the Commanders are going to trot out the rookie quarterbacks Sam Howell in Week eight. Team Howel So the rookie out of North Carolina who actually Dallas really liked in the draft last year. Um, he's he's gonna come out and really get his first

real snaps against the Cowboys. Taylor Heineke, Uh well, we'll probably mix in there a little bit between the beginning and the end, but for the most part, I want to know who you're looking at from a matchup standpoint, and I'll start with Isaiah. Who you got our offensive line that we're trying to figure out versus their beast of a d line. Boom boom, Just like that. That's the reality, Scary Terry. I'll be surprised of how I was able to have the time to get the ball

off to him and give him opportunity. You know, the dots and get all those guys. Obviously, Gibson is no longer a factor, so I don't foresee them having a lot of success offensively for the Washington Commanders, but I think that their defensive front is still one of the top three in this league. They're they're complete dogs. So as we're talking about our musical chairs at the offensive

line position is definitely an area of concern. And if you're ever going to be a test, this is one heck of a test to face this week as you're trying to figure that out. That's that's my matchup. How boys offensive line slash they're rushing the tech versus a very, very stout, elite defensive front in Washington, And Zach Martin said it very eloquently yesterday. He admitted he said, we've

struggled against that Washington defensive front. He admitted it, and he said those guys are just stellar at what they do. So for me, it becomes a little bit more challenging when you lose your starting center because earlier this season you struggled to get the run game going when you were hold So for the most part, you didn't have to Ron Smith obviously, but for the most part, you were whole and you couldn't necessarily get it going there. Now you're asking Connor McGovern to help you do it.

Tyler Smith, he's back at left guard, but this is only his first start this season at left guard after having not really taken as many reps there, you know, since training camp. So interior, you're not worried about Zach Martin. I'm not even worried about Toron Smith. On the right edge. I think Jason Peters can more than hold his own on the left edge. But when you start talking about you know, Dron Payne and Josh Allen that interior, I'm

looking at Connor mcgoverned and Tyler Smith. Tyler Smith most certainly has the strength to hold up um, but he's he's going against guys who are masters at their base position, and this is not Tyler Smith's based position just yet. Although you know to b TPD, I think it's going to be left tackle, But nonetheless, interior offensive line for the Cowboys not named Zach Martin versus a defensive front

that's just animalistic candy. Cowboys get their rushing a tack off like because they couldn't really do it in the first matchup. Can he do it now with some musical chairs going on, That's what I have circled. Yeah, And I think I'm gonna move my matchup into the secondary because my original matchup is the defensive flynes switch up now. I want to say, I want to see what this this cornerback group has in store for Sam Howe or Taylor Heinekey against Terry McLaurin. We talked about it a

little bit on Wednesday. This is a good test for this cornerback group before going up against the tests in the playoffs. I mean, you're you're facing a Pro Bowl caliber receiver in Terry McLaurin, and you've got Curtis Samuel, You've got Logan Thomas. You're not yeah, Johan Dotson. You're not going up against Mike Evans yet, but you will. You're not going up against Christian Watson again, but you will.

Not saying Christian Watson as Mike Evans, but he did have three touchdowns against you when you played him this season. So you've got tests coming up regardless of who you play this. This is as good of a wide receiver corps as you're going to see down the stretch. I mean, look at any of the other ones. Maybe with the exception of Minnesota. Minnesota is probably that one. And Philly, but you've already seen Philly twice. I don't know if

the quarterback can get them the ball. And the last time we faced Washington, our deepeness a line did a great job of getting interior pressure getting after. They were doing a great job. I mean that Nova Gallimore had a good job. Actually Tristan Hill did make some good plays that game as well, but they were in a big bow. They all our interior guys were getting through the interior office a line of Washington. So unless they've made some drastic improvements since the earlier in the season,

I foresee more of the same. Sean Wright gets his second career interception A little bold prediction said it with my sis right. I like it first. It was nasty. It was nasty. He climbed the letter, He went to the pearly gates, broke it down. Yeah, go back and watch some special edition. Wasn't expecially Oh wait it was on film Room. No, it was film rom film Room posted we posted on supposed it is posted it. Want to check out film Room Cowboys on the Cowboys YouTube page.

Isaia did a really good job of outlining it. But the awareness from Nashaw in that that's called beat yeah, hook sink yeah. Uh. I would like to agree with you, but I think it's the Ron Bland that gets his sixth. Oh. I never going to disagree that. That's that's my that's my bold prediction. That's That's kind of my point though, is the receivers you're facing are really good. You're playing good Pro Bowl caliber receivers in a core that's deep.

Can the quarterback make the throne? We'll see, But I want to I want to go back on film. You want Oh, man, how do you want better? I agree? I know what you're gonna say. Yep, it's it's been a it's been a few games, right, Bland and Diggs all pull down one? Okay? If that interception getting crazy, man, if that happens, it's three interception. If that happens, I'll buy breakfast on on Monday. Here, ladies, and have a question for the Cowboys. One for Diggs, one for Bland,

one for right. The terms are Ricky of the Year. Okay, we all believe that Durn Bland should be Ricky of the Year. Defensively. Okay, is it harder to prevent somebody from scoring on you? I don't say versus Yeah, I sauce Gardner is better. I don't agree with that. I think I better. He is playing better, is he is? To my question? But is I, like dron Blade, harder to get five interceptions or is it harder to prevent

somebody from scoring a test on you? Because that's that's the comparison, right Mmmm, I'm harder to give five interceptions. It's it's harder to get five interception from But you can have both. And I mean sauce Gardner doesn't have five interceptions, but he's been playing far better than you. Know what I'm going to he's a pro Bowl. I'm going to give you a prediction. Here's a prediction. Ask a question, Kyle. Here's a prediction that's going to bleed

into twenty twenty three.

Can the Giants do the Cowboys a favor and help hand them the NFC East Patrick, handle your business, big Blue Giants. Take this one.

whenever I picked the Eagles, they've lost. Give me the Eagles to win it. Give me the Eagles to win it in this one, Isaiah, oh oh yeah, the chances. I hated how the Giants chances, but I think Philadelphia just even when they mess up, they're still strong. So Philadelphia. I hated how I said that so emphatically, but it was because I want the Eagles. I just want to put it back out there. Uh, Anthony, who got though?

I don't like it. Okay, We're not gonna pick Cardinals in forty nine ers because I think we all know what that one would look like. But the Detroit Lions and the Green Bay Packers Sunday Football. I don't know if I've ever been so excited about a game between two eight and eight teams, and I mean both teams are rolling. Both teams are hungry. Is it the Lion hungry or is it the Packers hungry? Isaiah, I think Lions like cheese, don't they Hey do? Yeah, I think

this week they do. I'm going with the tray like Aaron. But Detroit, Detroit's they're nasty, they hit. Okay, give me the pack I'm gonna take Green Bay, Aaron Rodgers, they were playing too well, right, it's going to be a matchup. Um. Lions are being asked to sweep and keep the Packers out. Packers are on a hot streak. But you know what, love me some Dan, give me the Lions to keep the Packers out of the playoff. Anthony gotta go to I There you go. It's gonna be a good game.

It's gonna be a really, really good here. I can't wait. Yeah, yeah, Okay, we'll see, we'll see. It's looking for well. We're heading into the final matchup the Dallas Cowboys, with a win, can have a chance and an NFC East title and a chance at the top seed in the division.
