Talkin' Cowboys: Will The Streak End?

busy Friday morning, right, Mickey Spagnola, very busy. I was gonna say that, I'm the hallway. You can just feel the energy. Yeah, a good thing. They have the Wednesday's Child or whatever they know, what is it? Uh not Wednesday's Child guy. The people that come in for visits, um make a wish. Thank you. Somebody knows that. Anyway that's going on, and you got tours because you know

it's a home game. Everybody shows up. And when the guy said, and Bill Jones, we should have had that in a talics, right, Welcome back, sir, It's good to be back and have you Bill. Bill wasn't here for the you know my induction. That's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm totally official. Now you had an induction. Yeah, I feel like I had sexual labor, had a reduction. Poor guy. Man. Yeah, Everson was signing the paperwork during the show. Yeah, all right, he's got a badge and we even got him reading

right right. It's like a college style commitment ceremony, National signing day, all right, and he's doing the stop asking me, asking me at the front of the building. I can just walk in that without I thought you were getting that day. The lady just wanted to say hi to you. I thought, no, come back you. I'm okay, I'm okay. So we got some ground rules. Okay, no what Mike, uh Mike frand Sessa, Yeah we got we don't want any of that, you know, no silent but deadly uh omissions.

You understanding? Yeah what he did? They they're passing passing the gas in the podcast rum. We don't want that. We are not did yes apparently, Yeah, he was the only one in studio right head him continued, it's a d sorry, this dog wasn't in the room. So we're not having none of that. That's my only ground case, all right, very good, we can move on. All right, Well, I'm feeling good. I had a little proceed you're done

on Tuesday, and um, I guess I can. I can go ahead and say what I had done if you want to. All right, and my gall blinder removed on Tuesday. And Bill, that's just like pulling a mouth or something, you know, like Boil probably would have felt like, right, yeah, well no, it's it's actually not that bad. Yeah. In fact, I have not outside of Edville. I've been on no pain medications to do that. I feel the prescription and then it it was like it's opener than not getting Yeah, yeah,

so are you quite watching Sunday or what? Are you good to go? I'm good to go. I'm good to go. I reserve extra proceed you're done this morning? We want scared? I guess I won't say what. Yeah, I think we're right, okay, all right, it's no big deal. But it was just a follow up this morning. Yeah, yours telling us there's no one listen, Yeah, right, there's a tour group right outside. The speakers do go out in the hall. We're good waiting to hear the diagnosis. Right, it's all good with us,

all right, So tell me what Jason Garrett said. Oh what did he say? It sounds like sounds like Sean Lee might be iffy for this game. Well, that's what I was wondering as I was watching from a distance. And he's not participating in practice all week. What did you think by what he said? Well, it sounds he's not practicing today. He basically said, yeah, maybe limited, we'll see. Usually Friday is his day off anyway, more of a

rest day. But he's already had DMB two days and right, so see how he puts this is obviously a new new development because we didn't even talk about this yesterday. We had no idea. Well, he's he's got a couple of things. He's got a thigh issue and a pectoral injury that I believe he's been dealing with, he said, for a little bit throughout this year. That hasn't prevented him from playing. So for that reason, to me, there's

a little bit optimism. He can go veteran guy, but you'd like to get some practice in, right, Well, that has a lot to do ye practice Wednesday or Thursday, he said, he probably not doing much. Well, here's how he put it. He said he's making progress, and then he said interpret that as you will. He won't practice today, So I interpret that is this this is highly questionable. Then are you going to interpret that that at when the injury report comes out this afternoon, what will he

be listed as for the game? Questionable? Questionable, but it may say DNP DNP DNP. So that that's making like hopeful. But you know the NFL is really cracking down. Yeah, on the teams and the injury reports. Everybody's trying to be slick. That that's probably another Belichick wull right, Yeah, he was always very tricky. And there's been a lot of people on the injury report this week at guys not for the ram the fine hundred's right, Uh, was

more than that some teams. The Lions got Matthew Stafford. Yeah, Stafford. So they had eight starting limited on Wednesday. Two went to full yesterday Heath and there was one of the Pollard. Yeah still yesterday six guys were limited. Um, so I would imagine those limited guys are good to go. Yeah, it sounded I asked about Chris Jones because who's his backup at punter. Sounds like he's okay, boy, we came up with a lot of scenarios on Chris Jones, We're

gonna make it. Antoine Woods is a putter I was on. I was moving on it. He's limited, but sounds like they're optimistic he could get back depending on how things go the next couple of days. But a linebacker, you know,

I assume Laate Vanderesh is going to be ruled out today. Yeah, and if he is, then then um, without Sean you're looking at Joe Thomas and Luke Gifford, who I'm not sure how many defensive snaps he's gotten this year, but it's not many, and he would have to play a lot in this game if there's no Sean Lee and assuming no late Vanderesh, keep talking and I'll tell you on Luke Gifford how many defensive snaps I try to chart this as the season goes along, he played any

he came in maybe way I got him down for none. I've got him all special teams snaps this season, and they like him. But you're facing a Rams team that we talked about during the week that is starting to get back their rhythm, hit their strides to get Todd Gurley involved and everything kind of flows off of that, the official chart here says zero percent. There you go. I gave the official chart. This is the official chart right here. Special teams snaps. All right, all hands on

deck and lightenbacker. Now, I remember back in eighty seven he had to play the Cardinals. That's one of the Saint Louis Cardinals, and they were the offense was kind of amazing. Roy Green. That's a real game. Now, that's a real game. Yeah, we were coming down the stretch and they were going for the playoffs. When we sucked at in eighty seven, we didn't do much. We were not in the playoff picture. So here they come to

Dallas and we've got two outside linebackers the backups. And then we're talking about Henry Marsh was a tight end. We're talking about J. T. Smith was a wide receiver. Roy Green, O J Anderson's in the backfield. I mean, this is a great squad. I don't know how we did it, but we won that game. That was the most satisfying victory I think I've ever had. Steve Diazzi is playing outside line. He did Steve dias plan. Jeff

Roor was the other line I remember. Yeah, well you remember that, how amazing that is that we still won that game. Remember, so that's one of those games where you are, how did we do it? How did these linebackers stand up? And they played amazing football. We just kept it simple. So this let's hope that this is one of those moments where those linebackers can come in and keep it simple, keep the game playing to a minimum. You don't have to think too much, and just let

those guys just go with their athletic abuilding. That'd be really last last game of the season in nineteen eighty seven against the Saint Louis Cardinals, a twenty one sixteen Cowboys through so told them to seven and eight. Yeah yeah right, yeah, yeah, we were, we were. That was one game winning streak I think we had, and two of those wins the were the replacement games. Okay, Mack, thanks much. You said you said it was a season I just wanted to emphaside it wasn't. By the way,

it wasn't the most sensational defensive effort in the world. Statistically, the Cardinals had four hundred and twenty two yards of offense that day. They scored sixteen. That's yeah. Aldel Greco had three field goals for the Cardinals that day. We held them down. Baby Roy Green did Roy scoring uh seven catches one hundred and twelve yards, no touchdown. J T. Smith had a touchdown. That's a victory for that's a victory then, all right? With Steve Pulluric quarterback passing for

one hundred and twenty two yards. See with one hundred and twenty two yards passing, I'm gonna tell me that wasn't a satisfying victory. That is a defensive effort right there, and with backup outside line had never played outside linebacker since maybe junior high and junior high in junior has probably the biggest kill on the team. No one or they moved Randy White back to life backer. No, we didn't go that far. We did not go that far,

but definitely satis. How long has a disc been in the league with Steve and Zach going back like thirty years? Never since nineteen eighty four, right, yeah, thirty five years have probably been. And he taught he signed them the magic the magic position deep snapper. You can get the scottarship and deep snapper. You can get a salary and

deep snapper. You can play seventeen years as a deep snapper and not have to touch a soul, especially now with the with the new rules exactly now they can't be two hundred and thirty pounds be a deep snapper now fifteen. Yeah, he's made himself a lot of money. Wow, a lot of money. Who was a health strake was? How long you go? Seventeen into his forties? I believe right, Wow, HELLI played a long so they just couldn't run down. Yeah, I love you. He realistic. We love it, man, But

that's a great position. Do you talk about it? Don't make me laugh? You know, Hellistrate was dued perfect before that stuff started, because it would that would day. I'll trust you know who do perfect. They wanted to see. They wanted to see if Hellish Drake could snap the ball through a car, a moving car through the window. Nice and Edie did nice. Yeah, you know photography, the walk up there to the ranch there or where you guys came in. He was on that and the car

drove by Ando, right, that's very cool. Yeah. Yeah, So Rob, did you draw the assignment to listen to Jerry on the radio this morning? I did not. That was David Hellman, but he was trying to multitask in I don't know if I did well or not. Didn't you hear anything of note? Um? What was the one I told? Was? At the end he said something I don't remember about coaching.

You know what? They started talking a lot on a major league baseball oh, in the marijuana agreement for dropping testing for marijuana in baseball and even in the minor leagues. And he knew, Jerry, he's gonna get headlines on that one. Yeah, and started he didn't make anything declarative thing. You know.

The one thing he kept saying and referring to, he goes, you know what we do in the NFL, we try to draw attention to ourselves and and and he said it, so, if you want to draw attention to yourself, sometimes the attention is not good. But you know, I think he learned longer time ago from text that any attention is

good attention, regardless if it's good or bad. So he said, and and and he basically said, you know, if we want the all that good attention, and sometimes we've got to deal with the bad attention, and we can't run for it. You know, we've got to be an example for what's going on out there. So he was kind of, you know, saying, well, yeah, it's good that they're doing that, but maybe we need to set an example kind of uh hinted at that in what way, meaning to continue

continue testing? Yeah, continue testing? Yeah, yeah, okay, and how is that? But but I mean, I guess you can test. I guess you you know, maybe you have to back off on what the punishment is because no league punishes their players like the NFL does. If you think about it, and if you think about the NFL, the most injuries, you know, the pain that you have to go through, the more collisions, all of that, you would think that they'd be more empathetic to athletes that that indulged. Yeah,

so I didn't hear the whole thing. I just cut. I just cut. So those baseball players, they have a lot of injuries they have to deal with, right, That's why they stopped detesting. Is that what they're saying? Standing around? Yeah, standing around and hurt your back. Yeah, ball might hit him in the stomach. Well you have one opiate death and now it's like, okay, we got to take care of this. Well is that what is that? What? Uh? I think that was waiting on. Well, you see, that's

the point. What are you waiting on? There's always a drastic moment, some dramatic moment that's pretty much is unnecessary really when with the information that we have at this point, you know, you got to get out of the fifties and yeah, and kind of grow up as a league.

The other thing, because you caught part of it apparent I'm checking on Twitter, he was asked about certain college coaches that are success Yes, you know, on the subject of Jason Garrett's job security and guys that are being bandied about as possible options if the Cowboys go in a different direction after the season, and what do you say,

Bill John Mchoda has got him quoted. Jerry Jones was very complimentary of Lincoln Riley and Matt Rule on one to five three The Fan this morning, but then he pointed out quote college coaches have the lowest percentage rate of success taking over his NFL head coaches, adding that the Cowboys went one in fifteen and Jimmy Johnson's first season, there you go. Wow. College coaches spend Sundays working In many cases, they aren't that familiar with the NFL personnel,

now that's a big deal. You pay a price for somebody to get up to date that hasn't spent the prior years, months or years in the NFL. And I think there's definitely something to be said for that. I mean, if you talk to a lot of college coaches, I mean, they have no idea what's going on in the NFL because there that's a huge work day for college coaches. So he's absolutely right. I guess maybe the one advantage would be, because Jimmy had this right, you're evaluating having

recruited those players at draft when out of school. But yeah, that's a great point. And when you have a bundle of draft picks like they ended up having, then the draft was very important for those first two or three years.

It won't be another herschel Walker, No, absolutely not. Yeap out fifteen guys, but they were kind of ahead of the game there for a couple of years with I mean some of those guys they were recruiting to go to Miami, so they were kind of familiar with And we talked about this, Uh in the last couple of weeks, who was the last head coach, the college head coach that was successful in the NFL baba. I think that's who we came up with. Yeah, got a Super Bowl

Jim harbab. Does Pete Carroll count because he was he was in New England coach and was previous NFL. I don't. I don't count Pete Carroll because of that, because he had the previous a long time in the NFL. I'm trying to thank coach Saban didn't have success and Jimmy Dolphins. Yeah, you don't get that he had previous NFL coach. The winning season was the winning season for Saban. I know it was on five hundred. I can't remember something around that. And he only lasted what two three I think it

was maybe just two years? Two years? Two? Yeah, you know to LSU with Jason Garrett on his staff. That's correct a matter of fact. Wow, yeah, yeah, you didn't know that. I not. They hired him as the quarterback coach and he was there for two seasons. I think Belichick and and Saban uh on hbobo. Yeah, I heard him on it. I need to look at oh come on, yeah, yeah,

for all you did for those guys. All right, we're gonna take a break and we're gonna come back and we're gonna dive into these Los Angeles rams when we come back here in just aboment on Talking Cowboys, Laura.

All right, have you done your Christmas shopping? Mickey? It kind of dawned on me when I was walking in the day. It's like we might have to push Christmas back. Yeah. Man, I never do it until like Christmas Eve. I never do it period. Yeah, yeah, I got a bunch of

people do it for me. I'm getting text right now from my daughters asking about things that I'm supposed to have gotten I just passed the text on. Yep, kind of been laid up this week. I'm sorry I haven't say yeah yeah, especially since you know Christmas is on Wednesday, it's a work day for the Cowboys. It is a this is an odd holiday season. There's no doubt a few six fewer days. I think they said there's something like that, six fewer shopping days. Oh yeah, because thanks

Thanksgiving late. Okay, So what what needs to happen for the Cowboys to have a merry Christmas this year? About what's going to happen between now and Christmas Day? Okay, you got a game on Sunday against the Rams, and then you got the all important game at Philadelphia three days before Christmas. Well, without a bunch of detail, for me, I would continue with the path I was on. They need to keep things extremely simple for themselves right now.

Just allow their players to play. I mean, let's just do that. I remember Tom Landry letting us do that several times. Yes, we have the flex defense and were all about coordination, but there were a couple of games where we just said, you know what, just let that D line go. Just let them go through the gaps, let them run their stunts, and then we'll see what happens,

because at that point nothing was working. And if you're at that point where the Cowboys, where nothing is working, then just let the players themselves be free and unencumbered by the mental aspect of the game. Let's just go out there and be physical and without even worrying about mistakes and things of that nature. That's the way that's to me, that's the best way for them to go because they've tried everything else. They've tried everything else and

had worked. And the question came up to him in the press conference. Everybody knows what you do defensively. It's too simple, so that they said, that's what somebody I think they said. Troy Aikman said that the Cowboys do what they do on defense and they don't change things up. And his answer was, well, we were always, you know, trying to be have variety in what you do, but

that you might have a good point there. Instead of you know, the linebackers, you know, rushing into a gap and getting in the wrong one, Well, how about just standing there and read for a little while. Maybe you can protect yourself better. Because that defensive lines not protecting you. I would have to say that that along with the simplicity, more aggression, blitz a lot more just go we had nothing to lose, right, we have nothing to lose. You're

not stop rushers every time. I would come up with a variety of blitzes to put the pressure on because when it comes down to a golf and that pretty much the same. Like most quarterbacks, as good as they are, they do not like pressure. Pressure changes things in that pocket. So we need to we need to put the onus on their offense. See if you can stop us from pressuring you because we're coming who We're coming at you. That's the attitude they need to have. We are coming

at you. That'd be nice. Hey, that's a nice t shirt. We're coming at you, coming at you. Yeah. And golf is a little different than the guys that they've had trouble with the last couple of weeks because he's not as mobile. He's more of a stationary guy. If they can knock him off their off his spot, they've got an opportunity to, you know, tee off a little bit. Maybe that helps everything else, but they haven't. I agree

with you, guys, they got to let loose. They got to play free, they got to do all those things, but they got to maintain some level of discipline in terms of tackling and those that that's been the biggest thing. It's not just some of the runs they've given up or the catches they've been given up. It's it's the yards per catch, a lot of open field tackle that haven't been made. This is a bad team to face

if you're having those types of issues. Because another he's just another minneso of the Viking running back with the young kid from Florida State, Dalvin. Another cup, it's just another cup. The guy can he's low to the ground, He's going to hit those gaps and no arm tackling

is going to bring him down, not one. So let me throw this out because this this came up I think during the offseason after the Cowboys loss to the Rams, about how they get to the line of scrimmage early and take advantage of the fifteen seconds you have in the quarterback communication helmet with the head coach because it cuts off at fifteen, cuts off the fifteen, it starts at forty, and how McVeigh will stay get them early, see what the defense is doing and then sort of

like they do in college, and keep changing the signal and the defense defenses commit to what they're doing because you already have personnelity out there. So d SOA, I mean, can that really can help and confuse a defense? Well, if nothing else, it it keeps you almost in panic mode because you can't be as poised when you're doing something that you're not accustomed to. We're reacting to something that we're really not accustomed to. Yet we don't have

the time to sit back. Okay, guys, what's the call? Now, you've got the middle linebacker himself. He's going to have to make the call on his own if he's not sharp enough to get it from the sideline or fast enough right before. That's right, so here you you We work with signals though back then, right, so, if you got the signal, great, but otherwise we would just throw a basic signal out there. So it limits the amount

of it limits the defenses that you can play. We on second down and long and then we're thinking a certain way, okay, but we we we're also bringing in a certain personnel that they have second and long, but they're rushing it. Okay, we got the no huddle. Now you know, we're not quite sure what personnel we should have in, so we play it safe. So it limits what you can do from your game plan. All of a sudden, now you're playing your basic defense, and that's

what the offense wants. They want to rush up there, catch you in the basic defense without a specialized defense, and now i'm offensively, I'm the one that has taken control of the game. And if their basic offense is three wide receivers all the time, it started goes back to what we were talking about when you said when you played in the Super Bowl against Buffalo, you basically

played a different defense lineman. That's correct because of the past happy formation, because of the no huddle we kept in. We will our basic defense for that particular game was for just one defensive lineman. The rest linebackers in DBS. But the think about them, we saw it in the playoff game last year, is they don't necessarily run a

ton of different stuff. It's just all that window dressing pre snap and then ultimately you're not seeing a ton of well, they do a lot of different things in terms of getting their receivers involved, sweeps, things like that, but if they're running the ball, that's their bread and butter. And that's when they're able to play off of that. Christmas Shard's book about that yesterday. How then that's when they bring in the boots and the waggles and all

those things. It's all predicated off of what they do with Todd Gurley. And that's why it's it was kind of a shock everything you spoke about this, like novel idea, Let's get Todd Gurley involved because he settles everything down

for Jared Goff. And that's the concern for me in this game is that now they've kind of found their identity again, can the Cowboys can find a way yeah, to stop the run and play you know, fundamental disciplined football in the run game and tackle well and do all those things because they're capable of it, but they just haven't done it with consistency. And then no huddle itself, it stops you from putting the pressure down down as well. Yeah, you can't really, it's hard to find. It's hard to

call a blitz hadn't already been called. You're going against the no huddle offense, So it just keeps you extremely basic. So they so basically what they do if they go no huddle, they get to the line of scrimmage and then stand there for ten seconds or fifteen seconds. It's not like they're rushing you to play fast. It could be a patient tridle trying to change the play, sort of like they do in college, with the exception of not having any signs to hold up right. That's what

Philly did in this last game. Good day. They went. They they accelerated their their their whole pace of the game, just just so the offensively they can get on track. It took them a while. Oh my god, there was a boy and game. They got it done. But as you said yesterday, Cowboys would take boring win any day Sunday. You know, you look at Jared Goffe, He's got this season fourteen interceptions and fifteen touchdown passes. Well, not having

a banner season. But you gotta look at the last three games though, that's really way he's at last last two games against Arizona's thirty four and then twenty eight twelve against Seattle. Game prior to that was Baltimore. That was the blowout forty five to six. But about their receivers, Robert Woods Cooper Cup, Brandon Cooks. I was just gonna talk about Cup. Cup's gonna have a great year. I

guess he should play every game over in London. Yeah, they had two hundred plus what receiving yards one game, and that's just that's just not a that's not an oddity for him. That's what he does. He's that guy. He's he's like Cole Beasley personified, a little bit bigger, a little bit faster, a little bit more physical. Gonna say, yeah, he's a big body, slot received body, slot receiver. But the guy that has the still has the quick moves, still has the quick feet and obviously has great hands.

So he's he's he's gonna be a problem. They missed him last year with the injury. I mean that he brings another dimension to their office they didn't have. They probably could have used beat the Cowboys been in the Super Bowl. They could have used him and Cup and Woods. Cup is ten yards away from going over a thousand yards, and Woods is sixty seven yards away from going on. You know, Cooks only ask thirty one catches this year.

He's started eleven games thirty one catches, which which Mickey the snap counter over there, maybe we can figure out how many, how many, how much they are in their nickel offense. And you're going two tight ends more because Gerald Everett, who has hurt right now, has thirty seven catches on the year and Tyler Higbee's got forty catches on the year. So they used two tight ends. They not only use two tight ends, they throw to two tight ends a lot. And they and they use Higbee

now more two twelve personnel. Have you got two backup what maybe two backup linebackers coming in? Yeah, going against these tight ends and they are really making a move. The tight end is really that's part of why golf is having success. He decided to start looking to the tight end, and it kind of takes a little bit load off of him because down the scenes, when you got tight end running down the scenes, that's a much bigger target and trying to go outside to the loose

fifty wives. So if no shan Lee at that linebacker position, you're talking Thomas and then the sam myth and I would think Gifford and the only other guy it's justin March right. Yeah, that's it. We haven't stopped a tight end with us started or or you just stay in nickel and just say one of my corner, my corners or safeties has to cover the tight end. And we've seen that before. Now they'll hand it to girly and now you got one less you know, big guy close

to the line of scrimmage. So yeah, maybe just to suggest it is better score some points. That's a novel idea, right, all right, we continue with more talking cowboys in just a moment.

But anyway, through next Friday, Yeah, twenty two days shipping. Okay,

it'll get there. All right. We need to break down what's going to happen on Sunday? Okay, So what's going to happen on Sunday? Go ahead, Mack. It's gonna be a football game. Yeah, yeah, I think he's gonna do a pregame hit for the fan, right, yes, I will and Jason Garrett's UH radio pregame interview you're gonna grill him. I'm gonna grill him here in about two hours. Yeah, we'll find out secrets. You thought it was life. Yeah, like Jason has time to talk before the gate? What

else does he do? What? You know? What? You know? I uh for this game, I'm looking forward to something. A revelation that I that came through yesterday. You guys brought it up to me. Rest we got rest, Yeah, okay, And I didn't think about that because you know, we've been grinding coming in here, fussing about what they're not

doing and what they're supposed to be doing. And we knew about the grind of the three games when in so many days, but that ten day rest, that that may be the spark that we need because what we have seen and we talked about it, everything is just so uneventful and may be uneventful just because the guys are tired. You know, it's it's almost a grinder. You

go through three games so so close together. So something that I overlooked until you guys brought it up yesterday, that the rest itself might be that thing that you need. You come out all of a sudden, you're looking different, you're feeling different. Your attitude is different. Mentally, everything up here is more optimistic as opposed to pessimistic. I'm hoping that that's how they come out with that same fire.

And I don't know if you're listening yesterday, but like that's Philly fire when we came out agains Philidelphia, really last strong dominating game we had. I'm hoping we come out with that with that attitude. You know the other thing that would certainly help him if uh AT and T Stadium turned into the Superdome and they would have hard time hearing when the in the quarterbacks communication helmet.

But you're going they're gonna have to drag him in because I want to see golf going like this over his zero hole, right, and so he can he's having trouble hearing if you want to change it at the line of scrimmage, Girl ahead, big boy. But you know, but I don't have a lot of faith in that hat. Come on, man, you're going good. You're going away as you were left turning. There's gonna be a lot of Rams fans, look, and you don't have a lot of

faith and Cowboys fans. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, now, yeah, so you better pull them in. Got you gotta do something to pull them in. You gotta drag them along this yeah, right, absolutely, the first thing you do. I mean, you know what. That's Back in the day. I used to remember. I was always shocked on how quiet the noon games were at Texas Stadium. It was like, did these people just get out of church? And you know we're not in church anymore, right, But if they played well,

all of a sudden, oh the place turned on. Right. This is not the Texas Stadium Cowboy fans. Yeah, there is a different crowd. Different crowd. Yeah, well, they need to participate, They need to They need some type of big spark plays. We talked about this during the week. Defensively, think about the one game they really played complimentary football Philly short fields, something that's from the defense, that sparked the entire team. That's what they Who's going to make

that play? The Law, baby, that's my pickure Law. I want to sack fumble that Jeff Heath picks it up and returns for a touchdown with one on ye is bad. All right, that's where we're going with. That's what I'm going d Law is our pick. To click. There you go, just get engaged. Law will do it on defense. That's how it's gonna happen. Here we go, we got so, we got a winner winner. I didn't say that. Yes, I've picked him week after week. Maybe if I maybe I'm jinxing him. If I go with the Rams, it'll

turn around for him. I will say that. Whenever you count out a team completely and everybody's picking against the Cowboys usually goes a different way. So we'll see. They don't need to win this game to win the division. And I can't believe people were talking about that, because you need a win badly Sunday, just for your confidence level. Yeah, more so from number standpoint, confidence and momentum going in to Philadelphia. Have some confidence that you can go to

Philadelphia and win. You know what, It's the twelve days of Christmas starting tomorrow. Okay, you go up tomorrow. It's twelve days of Christmas. Christmas starts tomorrow for the Cowboys, and it's gonna be a merry Christmas around the next game. That's exactly. So there you go. All right, you heard it here first right here on talking Cowboys, and we'll talk at you on Monday. After a win rams on Sunday.
