1:02It's time for the break on Dallas Cowboys.com. We were on the break with Ambar Garcia, Vach Lombardi, Tommy Yaris and Derek Eagleton. It is Thursday, September 24th, 2026 season. 22 episode number 38, welcome to the latest edition of the break. We are live from SWBC, Morgan Stuios at the Star. And we are presented by LG, LG's the world's number one OLED TV brand for 11 years and counting CY at lg.com.4 slash OLED. Evo, today we will get you guys ready for Cowboys versus Ravens. We'll specifically talk about the Ravens, deepens versus the Cowboys offense. We'll also get into a little talk of just the general matchup, Cowboys versus Ravens in Rio de Janeiro. And then at the end of the show, we're actually going to change up our picks this week. I think we're going to do something a little different this week. I'll explain when we get to our final segment. Let's start first though with Tommy who you attended the coaches press conference.

2:04You attended the coaches press conference. And coach made it clear, you will not have a lie down flat seat on the plane. Not that I thought you would, but hey, he made it clear that's not happening. So you don't have to worry about that all day to day. But what else did he have to say about his team as they prepared ahead to Rio de Janeiro? Brian, I thought we were closer in this man. I thought we were better friends. I appreciate him saying that he tried at least. He did say he tried. Yeah, but no, I think that this is a, we've talked a lot about everything with this game over the course of the week. So today was a lot of just, what does the preparation look like? We'll leave here later in the day. I think our flight is in the evening closer to 8.39 o'clock. So the most important thing for this team on that flight is to be able to shut your eyes and get some rest. And hopefully that's the case for us too. Because they're going to get there on Friday. It's a very quick trip to the hotel and then drop your bags and let's go practice.

3:07Let's go and get moving around a little bit. These, they want to get their bodies acclimated. And there's so much time still left to meet, reinstall second down, third down, things like that. They've gotten the game plan finished as would Brian Shatheimer said. Now it's just a matter of having the meetings to reinforce everything. So they've treated it like a short week in terms of game planning. And now it's just taking Friday, Saturday to get on the field practice, but also spend a ton of time in the meeting rooms and reinforce everything that they may have not gotten to on a regular seven day week going from game to game. So that's going to be the most important thing over the course of the next 48 or so hours as they get ready to play the Ravens. He spent quite a bit of time talking about reinforcing. And he's like, we installed this back on Tuesday. But by the time you get through the week, you kind of have to go back and hit that stuff. And especially with the travel, the good thing for the Cowboys in this instance is their opponent is still in with the exact same thing. I think I heard the Ravens are also leaving this evening heading to Brazil.

4:10Their flight probably a little longer coming from farther north. But yeah, they are leaving this afternoon. So both teams are going to be faced with this travel and acclimation and long flights. And we'll see who handles it best because as we saw with the game that opened the season between the... What was that? The Rams and the Rams and Niners. One team seemed to be much more prepared for that game than the other in my opinion. Because I do feel like the Niners, they felt like they were a little quicker to wherever they were trying to go. It felt like the Rams were a little allergic. Again, I don't know that as a fact, no one really could. But it's certainly on... As you watched it, it certainly felt like that. I will say that that was also a much longer trip. I think that's double the trip that we're taking there along. And it's a greater time difference. So I would say that plays a part in it. But yeah, that was an interesting... Interesting to see just because of the different philosophies.

5:11The 49ers got there like a week early. And so they have more time to get accustomed to it. Sean McVey was... I'll say outspoken for lack of a return on a negative way. But he talked a lot about how they did the research, they did the sports science stuff, and they said it was better on these trips to get in the night before like normal and then just get out right after. So it was interesting to see that clash of... All right, which philosophy may work better here? So... Would that be the same in 10 different scenarios if teams did it that way? Maybe not. But it certainly looked like, like you said, that San Francisco was more prepared, rested, ready to play than LA. Yeah, I do think it is more about... And you heard Coach Stimension as well, like they're doing the things like hydration, the amount of water that they're having these guys drink while they're on the flight, having them... A lot of trips to the bathroom. Oh, it's good. And we only got a couple of about them. But they have... They're having them use the compression pants, compression tops.

6:13Really just, again, keep the circulation going. So you're on a flight for 10 hours and at that altitude, there can be issues there, and you have dead legs when you get there and all these things. Right, so... Yeah, I'm going to look like that. I got the pants. I'm going to look at a 1950s basketball player because they're all the way up to my knee. Not that we're playing, but we want to make sure our legs are fresh. If I'm playing word trouble, we have to make sure our legs are fresh. So again, I guess the point is there are challenges to being on a 10-hour flight going down and playing this game. And for the Cowboys, uniquely, this is the beginning of an 11-day period where they will have three games. So they have to really be thoughtful about their bodies as they're going on this trip because when they get back, they got to follow it up with a noon game next Sunday. And then a Thursday night game the week after that. So all those things become a factor for the Cowboys. We even more so than the Ravers. I don't know their schedule, but my guess is they're not doing three games on 11 days. So... Yeah, no, it is a brutal, brutal schedule. Brian Shownheimer was kind of joked about it, like thanks, you know, League. But I think there's maybe not as much joke in that.

7:16I think that it's difficult. I think the silver lining, and it's not really much of a silver lining, is that it's a shorter trip to Houston. Well, we in there for like 30 minutes, basically. It's got a higher... It's got a higher... It's got to be that long. Yeah, it's not going to be filled pretty up and down. And then you get... You come home for that Thursday game. Again, silver lining is strong, verbiage there. But you don't have to go say to the East Coast or the West Coast after going to Brazil. All right. But let's flip over to those Baltimore Ravens. I was looking at the injury report. Zayf Lourdes, Trey Andrickson, Ronnie Stanley. Didn't that practice? Sure. What do you think is going to end up happening come Sunday? So, I think he's fine. Like, you... He got a finger. He got ten of them. I know what I was going on with him, but he was... That sounds like a... That was a broadest. What'd he say? Because that's how he uses his injuries. Like, he says he got a finger. He got a finger. He says he got an injured finger. He's a he got a finger. He got a hamstring. Yeah, he got a toe.

8:17Yeah, that's on me. That's on me. That's got an terminology. Shots out of broadest. But, you know, he's fine. And his first two games was everything that you thought he was going to be. So, I wouldn't even think about that though. From the Zay flower standpoint, I just had another thought as I was driving or whatever, right? You know, he injured this hamstring in preseason. And then he came back for week one and he heard it in week one. I wonder if the re-enjury of it makes him more serious this time. Normally, for hamstrings, you know, for guys like that, of course, it'll be limited. He just out, you know what I mean? So I wonder if this hamstring, nothing I'm wishing, but I'm not like Tommy. Tommy wanted to see Zay flower was played for the love of the game. I thought he was saying I didn't want to see him play. I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. And that's going to see you. That would be like, yeah, I want him hurt. She liked to see people heard. Tommy, it's not a stop line. All right. I'm a HR PR. That is not true. Tommy wants to see people play for the love of the game. I'm a fan.

9:17First, I'm cowboy. First, if you look, he'll up player. He'll look, you know what I'm saying? Somebody feel sorry for the injury. At all. At all. We say, at all time, you need, we missing corners and safety, brother, you know what I'm saying? But that makes me feel that maybe flowers would be maybe a little held out. Stanley is a toe. And for offensive lineman toes, we got because that's our base. That's where we are. Well, he got nine others, right? That don't count. That don't count. Because if you trade, I can fold my pinky finger and still be strong in my hands as offensive lineman, that's 300 sum of pounds on your toe. That you got to push off of and plant on and anchor on. So I think the Stanley one is a little more, a little more worrisome for that side over there. And I'm just a little more curious about flowers. But you know, we'll see. Go ahead, son. Just to frame a point of reference. Last week, flowers was limited on Friday. He didn't practice Wednesday and Thursday and then was named doubtful. He was back to just straight DNP on Wednesday.

10:17So I wonder if something changes or if you'll go up, you know, a similar detector. I think today will tell us a lot of it's two straight days of DNP. That's going to be a pretty tough, tough break because if they're traveling today, you wonder, you know, do you want them to make the trip? Do you try to get them out there? Same deal with treatment here. Yeah. Same deal with a lot of doubts. There's Brian Shownheimer who's asked about it yesterday. They get better treatment here in Dallas than they will if they make the trip to Rio. So that'll be interesting. Hendrickson didn't practice Wednesday and Thursday last week was limited Friday. He was questionable. He ended up playing and then who's the other one? Stanley. He didn't practice. Same thing as Hendrickson. Wednesday, Thursday didn't practice limited Friday and he ended up playing. So that's just a frame of reference from last week when we're looking at this week's injury report. Yeah. I know. There's a note though too. Zay flowers, if he's playing, he's been phenomenal when he's playing. Ronnie Stanley, even when he did play, he did kind of get whipped up on a little bit. So that's worth noting for our guys. Yeah. So when you mention that about the hamstring injury, it does make me wonder if they will

11:20even be a little more cautious because it's a re-endery. Whether it's whether it was hurt worse in the re-endery or not, you know how it goes when you got twitchy guys and they got hamstrings, that can be a recurring thing that keeps popping up because it re re he got a re-endery. It makes me wonder if they will say, okay, this time let's really take our time. Let's make sure that once he comes back from this, this is not a problem for the rest of the year. So that means sitting in for several weeks to make sure that maybe the right answer. So I do wonder if that happens. But again, like the injuries, nobody feels sorry for you. And another Brian has him. Nobody feels sorry for you because everybody's got injuries. It's a part of the game and we'll see how it works for them this week. By the way, they still got plenty of other weapons you got to worry about, even if Zay flowers is not playing. So it's not like you just all of a sudden won because he's not out there. All right. Babe is nice. But. No, yeah, yeah. He's, you know, no, no, Zay is nice. He adds a whole nother dimension to their, to the, to the challenges of facing that team. But trust me, you got your hands full with Lamar and with Derek Henry.

12:22That's a lot. That's a lot of what I would almost rather revel around with the big X-Doot. Then somebody in the slot having to deal with the little slash he got. That's, so, mental wise, that makes a little sin. Yep. All right. We're going to take our first break. Let's come back.

17:34Man, this is gonna be a bad trip. We already started off really bad. Well, I bad news for someone in the room. Tommy did not get a lay down seat. That's Brian. I tried. I really did. I tried Tommy, but unfortunately, I mean, other than maybe you can have mine. See, I would take him up on it. I would be like, as soon as I got a plan, I'd be like, I just go fit in this seat. If I attempt, you say it, I don't have a seat. If I attempt to take Brian Shot and Heimer's seat, somebody's going to throw me out of the plane. I don't think somebody. I don't think so. I think you should try it. Don't know how to union or something. He needs the players, not us. He needs the seat much more than I do. Well, I will be fine. I've got my neck pillow. He said on the radio this morning that he doesn't have a neck pillow because wife usually buy the seat. He trade. But I'll give you the neck pillow for the seat. Yeah, you'll see. There you go. If y'all haven't been following along on keeping a cowboys, Garcia has basically been challenging Tommy to do a lot of weird and crazy things. You should be the next thing you're going to do. Just go sit and coach your seat and let's see how it goes. Will you Monday accept the dare?

18:35Well, maybe. But her dares to me are, hey, Tom Brady's over there talking to Jerry Jones. Go ahead and say what's up. If I go to love, what's up? I'm phone would get 15 phone calls and I would have like a red dot on my head or something. Like there's no, I would be fine. You know what my answer would be? What? Amen. It's good for content. Yeah. I would do it. I'm very, very good. I guess this is Chris is probably already friends somehow with Tom Brady. He's already met the guy they might have had Pini Kaladas together on one of these other international trips. So Chris can do it. But I'm still I'm still go ahead. I'm sorry. I'm going to go ahead. All right. We lost that. We don't. Yeah. Choose LG. Let evil check out the best TV in the game at LG dot com. All right. This is the second segment of the break. We went about 10 minutes before we got to the reading. What do you want about it? Second segment. This segment brought to you by blockchain dot com. All right. So let's talk about the Baltimore defense versus the Cowboys offense.

19:36Give me some players and watch. Y'all are exactly like y'all on vacation, man. It really is right now. This is going to be fun. Travis Jones is nice, man. Defensive tackle. Plays all over the place. But mostly going to be like B gap is top. This is the third week in the road. We've seen this same kind of defense. They'll go base three big dudes for our side linebackers or four linebackers. And then in their past rush formations, they'll do it even front and do their little thing. Kyle Hamilton, a walk down. I just wonder at what point in this season are we going to run into teams that's doing something different? Or is this just the trend around the league now? But the all these young defensive coordinates seem like that's what they just are in love with. Right. But the Ravens running that Kyle Hamilton is my second guy for everything that we want to say about Caleb Downes. Kyle Hamilton's been doing in the league for years. And me just watching film on him. Boy, I can't wait till Christian Parker

20:36start to blitz down a little bit more. And moving around, put him at the outside corner just to mess with the offense a little bit. He's definitely a guy. And man, Trey Hendrickson is exactly who they traded for. Like if you go and watch the film and look up pressures, it's mostly going to be Trey Hendrickson. He has eight so far into game. He's been getting bids. The whole defense gets pressures in general. And they do it with a lot of different ways. They'll bring corners and safety. Sometimes I don't recommend the Cowboys doing this. So please don't do that. But they'll drop the tackles and coverage and blitz some other do's up A and B got. They do a lot of different things to get pressure. So once again, this another week for your center, your interior offensive lineman, your quarterback, and you're running back to be on the same page as the Cowboys. It's probably weird looks and movement you're going to get. Yeah, this is the best third down, past rushing defense in the NFL. They've gotten pressure on 65% of their dropback. So this is one of those games where the Cowboys have the highest third down conversion percentage, I think offensively in the NFL this year so far.

21:39That's going to, whoever wins that is going to be at a big advantage in this game. If the Cowboys can keep these drives alive, win on third down, keep marching down the field, control the time of possession. You keep the Ravens offense off the field. That's a big part of the strategy to beating this team. So that's going to be really crucial for Dak Prescott and the Cowboys this week. Prescott has been blitzed a lot. I think he's three of 10 against quick pressures this year but he hasn't been sacked. So that's, I think he's one of four quarterbacks in the league that hasn't been sacked and facing those looks. So this is a team that will throw a lot of different looks at you. And Vach mentioned Kyle Hamilton. This is interesting because he's playing closer to the line of scrimmage this year than he has over the course of his entire career. So we talk about Caleb Downes blitzing. They're using Kyle Hamilton a lot too. There was one play last week against the Saints that we talked about on, it'll be on Cowboys rewind and then on here we go on Friday, where on the left side of the line of scrimmage so it would be where Tyler Geiden is going to be. They had Rokwan Smith, Trey Hendrickson

22:41and Kyle Hamilton all next to each other. Good luck. Good luck. That's not fun to deal with for anybody. And they can bring those looks. Now New Orleans made a great play, shook out the ball out of his hands quickly. Jouon Johnson caught it and got him the first goal. But those are the kind of looks that the Cowboys are going to be facing. Dak Prescott needs to get the ball out of his hands quickly in this game and let CD Lam, George Pickens, Ryan Flano and I come on to Turpin go to work. You mentioned Rokwan Smith. What makes him special? He sees it. Yeah, he sees it. He sees it because they're quickly. And look, he's not the only one. Trent and Trent Simpson nice too. He's another guy that's running around all over the place and they make they made tackles behind the line of scrimmage. They're not going to let you get two or three yards. They time probably know, but they got to be leading the league and like negative run plays or stuffs is what they call them or whatever. They probably like top something in that. But their linebacker group is definitely what the Cowboys want. There's a beat, but physicality seeing it and not really getting mixed up with the eye candy.

23:44Because Kellen will try to throw it at you, but fundamentals wise, they hang in there for sure. Rokwan Smith, no mistackles yet this season. Yeah, I think 16. That's huge for a linebacker. Right. Okay, so if you had to say this is the thing that they do absolutely the best, what is that thing? That they good at everything. No, that's not a good question. That's not a good answer. I think that's a phenomenal answer. I think the fact that they're good at everything is what they're good at. So the fact that you can't, I mean, you say there's no weakness in this defense. That's the thing that they do best. No, I think so. I think the secondary has shown some vulnerabilities there where with the Cowboys current wide receiver group, as long as DAC is not feeling the pressure as much and is able to focus and find them and connect, I think CD, pickings, they can take care of this secondary. So Derek's next question is how we go against that, then I would have said something like that.

24:46Normal wide receivers look at what the Ravens do secondary wise and all the movement that they do or just the guys lining up and whooping them. They'll have a hard time then that a harder time than Dallas. The Dallas Cowboys do have pickings. And if there's one guy you're gonna look for, if there's one player to find is Humphrey. Marlon Humphrey is the guy that's giving up the most air quote plays, but if you look up deep plays, they don't give up deep plays. So what you have to find is those 10 to 19 yards plays like right in the middle and that's Marlon Humphrey like two or three times all year so far. Besides that, they don't really give up nothing for real. Now luckily for us, we have superheroes on our side that can find something and we got a quarterback that's patient enough to diagnose what's in front of him and then find a guy, but just them versus the rest of the lead, they're not a weak secondary to go against plus. They're leading the league and like pressures or something like that time can help me with that one. So yeah, you, you, you may have a deficiency air quote somewhere at corner, but you got to find those guys.

25:46I will say this as a frame of reference last week, the guy that I would say is in that realm of those elite ride receivers, Chris Alave for the, for the Saints. He had eight receptions for 86 yards and a touchdown was long of 21. He's real nice. And, and, and again, an eight for 86 day for him. That's good, but he's also a week one. He went for 182. Oh, so you put it in perspective. Eight catches for 80 yards. We're going to let you have something short, but not really give you. Yeah, and his long was a 21. So that's, that was the longest he went like he was going 40, 50 yards, but again, I do think the Cowboys pose a significant threat that most teams don't. They're only maybe two or three teams in the league that can pose the kind of offensive threats that the Cowboys can pose. So that does create some challenges for them. And, and I get what Amber saying, because there, there has been some inconsistencies. I will say this, their secondary this season hasn't been as shut down as their front. I think their front is better has been better. I think when it comes to stopping the run, like they are not

26:46giving up anything on the ground. So nothing, I think teams have found a little more success, not a ton, but a little more success again in the past. And, look, go ahead, you got it. No, just if, if, if that's the one thing you have to look for, then yeah, that's a, that's a different question. But like, what do they do? They do everything well, personal. We're going to go ahead. There's a lot of things that they do. Well, I don't know if it's everything. I think that the best thing is their play at the line of scrimmage in the run game and in the past game. They get after you defensively. They're going to affect the quarterback. Maybe not sack him all the time, but they're going to affect some of these throws, which is why I talked about, you know, getting the ball out of dax hands quickly and getting some things going on the quick passing game like guys work after the catch. The secondary is where I think you can beat them, not necessarily because their secondary isn't good or hasn't played well, but it's because you have CDLAM in George Pickens and there are just a lot of great matchups for those guys. Malakas Stark's, I loved that in Georgia and he's played well to start his career ups and downs a little bit so far early in the year. That might be a guy that they go after if they look to push

27:48the field vertically. But those two corners, Marlon Humphrey and Nate Wiggins are great. I love Wiggins. I think he's, he's so good. I love his physicality and the demeanor that he plays with. I think that's what it's supposed to look like as one of the corners. It's maybe not as big and tall, but he's just still so good in coverage. So I enjoy watching him play a lot, but it's those, it's those front guys that really make it difficult. Tavius Robinson, the other past Russia ups, opposite of Trey Andrickson has played really well to start the year. He's got 10 pressures and two sacks. I need to know him. He just popped up. So yeah, he's, he's getting up there. He's getting into the backfield, I should say. So that's pressure rate is 30th in the league. Andrickson is fourth, 25 and a half percent. And Andrickson's got a 0.77, 0.77 second get off, which is 16th in the league, considering how much he has played the injuries that he's dealt with. That's still very impressive. So this is a good football team, but I think that you look at your skill talent on the outside and say this is where we can

28:50get an advantage. All right, we're going to take our final break, come back. I want to talk about Tyler Gaet in a bit, because I think it's something that we've seen improvements. We've seen him get better this week. He's going to be tested. I want to know for you guys how comfortable you feel with the test that he's about to take, because as you said, this front is nasty and they will get after you.

33:57AT&T connecting changes everything. Welcome back, final segment of the break, live from the SWBC Mortgage Studios at the Star. And Nick, I'm sorry, I called you Nick. Tommy, Tommy got some news for us coming out of Baltimore, things we might need to know about this upcoming game. What are you here? Yeah, Ravens defensive coordinator, Anthony Weber, speaking with reporters today. And he said he saw a defensive tackle, Namdi Madabike playing with comfort on Wednesday. He's a full participant in Wednesday's practice. He's dealing with a big neck injury last year. It was a pretty brutal injury. There was questions about if you'd ever play ever again. So obviously good to see him back on the field, but it sounds like he is trending in the right direction and couldn't make his season debut on Sunday in Stalas. Which is so ironic, because in the break, we were just talking about Tyler Booker and Vachy was saying, he's had to play a dude every week for the first two weeks. Is he right back this week now having to play another dude? That's the game, that's the game. And all these guys are dudes to different levels.

34:59So he could pass block DJ Reader all day, but the run game's going to look a little different to where it may be the opposite with Payne or what, not right? Yeah, I mean, how are we going to, Namedi, Maadu Buike? Namedi, Maadu BK. Tough, tough, but I mean, I do think Travis Jones is the better of both. He's going to give you the most problems I've seen with people all year. But Namedi's a dude as well. So this is another week for TJ Bass, for Old Teesh, to step up again. Don't forget the Colisee Campbell is there too. Yeah, he's pretty honest. He was on a rest day, but Clare's the expectation. Yeah, he's here. But he's so big. Like that's the thing. He's a big dude, and he doesn't seem to be slowing down. Like he's in what season number? He's old man. 72 or something. I mean, he's going to play after every. But he's still a good player. Yeah, he's still a player that can truly disrupt whatever you're trying to get. Maadu BK is a really good player. I think the question is, do they maybe have him on a pitch counts as his first game of the year at a pretty brutal neck injury last year?

36:01But regardless, I think it's good for football to see him out there after everything he's been through. Talk to me about Tyler Gaiiden. He will have the pleasure. I guess if you want to call it of matching up with some of these defensive ends for the Rafe's outside linebackers, including Trey Hendrixson. What have you seen from him so far through the first two games? And how do you think he matches up against this type of pass rush? I think that Hendrixson is so technically sound and he has been over the course of his career and he just never gives up on the play. Like he's great with his hands, sets up his rushes very well. And with a guy like Tyler Gaiiden, you want to see more of the technical side of his game come out. You want to see the technique, the work that he's put in over the off season show up because that's what's going to help him win this. Obviously, the athleticism will help too. But I think technique is going to be the biggest deal for him

37:03when you face a guy like Hendrixson who's so sound and how he rushes and how he gets after the quarterback. And yeah, he said a heck of a start to the year. There was the questions about the injuries. This is going to be the same type of player. And so far, he has been. I think he's been very productive. He's doing his job very well. So this will be a big test for Tyler Gaiiden. But he had a big test early in the year with Brian Burns. Felt he did a good job at that. Some experienced guys last week, but I think this is up there with the, I think Burns is better than Hendrixson. But still a very, very tall challenge for Tyler Gaiiden, especially if they load up on that left side of the line of scrimmage. Styles make fights. Styles going to always make the fights. And Tommy makes a great point of Gaiiden having to continue to grow in the technique side of the game. But this, the funny part about all is is that if you had to imagine the kind of guys that Gaiiden had trouble with, it'll be the shift year guys, the quicker the burst year guys because of the technique side. Now Gaiiden athletically can win a full race with anybody.

38:06But if the other side is moving quicker, then he has to react quicker. So him having to react quicker, he has to bring technique quicker. So he has the body and the athleticism to do it. But his body has to match his eyes, right? So Tray Hendrixson has all the hand techniques in the world, but he's not as bursty as those other guys. So the big question is, can Tyler Gaiiden see it? I'm not saying it's an easy match up for nobody, because Hendrixson can come out there and dot, dot, dot. But I think Burns was the more difficult match up. Burns and Carter was the more difficult match up because they can bring a different pass rush move quickly or quicker. Tray Hendrixson being my age or whatever, he's not going to move as fast as those other guys. So Tyler Gaiiden's reaction speed is going to be a little better versus a guy like Hendrixson, even Cheson. And Cheson, good player, but he's not the rusher that Burns is, but Cheson can give you problems because he is a quicker, twitchier guy, and you have to react to a quicker, twitchier guy. So not that this is an easy match up or anything like that,

39:09but I trust Gaiiden in this game because I trust that he'll be able to see it. Now, Mike Green, who's coming off the bench, who I love them in the draft, the draft, a draft show and all this kind of stuff. He's from Marshall and he just kind of rolls out the bed. He's one of those rows out the bed twitchy, you know, blowing off the line of scrimmage. He's banned his nuts. He's super bended. He might be the guy that'll give more issues just because of the style and the type of guy that he is. But Hendrixson, I wonder if Baltimore decides to line him up on Tarris because he's the guy that'll give Tarris face all day. All right. He does line up, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to cut you off. He lines up on the right side, 93.2%. Offensive right or defensive right? Good question. I think I would think actually it's, I might be just just feeling something here. That was misinformation. So I'll take it. He'll deal. He'll have that just both. They had to see. Let's go ahead and just go ahead and cut that. This is why I don't get a layback seat on the line. This is why Brian Shodhobber's put me in row 37D.

40:10Tommy, we just can't assume that what's been going on is going to happen versus the Cowboy. Sure. They may look at Tarris steel and say, oh, well, Tarris steel would have more problems than his other guy. Let's put our best guy on Tarris steel. So all of them numbers don't even matter. We're about time. All right. So here's what we're going to do. I'm going to change up how we do our picks. Instead of doing picks for the game, here's what I want you guys to do. There are going to be two questions I'm going to ask you. One, if the Cowboys win, it will be because you fill in the blank. And two, what is your percentage chance that that actually happens? Not necessarily that they're going to win or lose, but how comfortable do you feel they're going to do what it is you think they have to do in order to be able to win? Is this you trying to keep me from being a home or because I'm going to say every week the Cowboy is going to be the home? Exactly. I'm like, by the way, I don't pick against the Cowboys either. So I think it's better information for our fans. If we tell them here's what they have to do in order to be able to win. And then here's how much we feel confident that they're able to do that against their their. There's Cowboy fans that believe as long as that playing. We're going to lose all these damn games. Yeah, absolutely. I don't even matter. Absolutely.

41:10So I think that's a better way for us to do it. So that's how we're going to do it. All right. So let's go around the table. I want you to tell me, what do you think the Cowboys have to do in order to win? They win if they do this. And then what is the percentage chance you think that's going to happen in this game? Go ahead and warm up. Let's see. I like how you decided to get creative with this because you know this is going to be a tough one this weekend. But I would say the next two weekends. Yeah, but let's focus on this one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. If the Cowboys win, it's because they were able to stop their run. The defense was able to kind of get a handle on the running game and not allow neither the running back or the quarterback to be running all over you and all over the place. And then what was the other question? What is the percentage chance? Percentage that I have. That actually is.

42:1520%. That's crazy. That's crazy. 20% sure that that's going to happen. That they'll stop the run. 15. She's going the wrong way. In like 30 seconds, you got worse. This specific point, yeah, I don't feel. No, why would I? Why would anyone feel confident that that would happen? There's no way you can feel confident about that, OK? Because it has not been shown. It has not been proven. So there is no way. Can they potentially do it at some point? Absolutely. Against this team. So that's why I'm 15% of that. So Thomas. I would I would I'm going away from the defense. Because like I think Lamar and Derek Henry is a man. You can only hope to limit it because they're going to get theirs. I think Dallas wins this game if they run the football and control

43:15time of possession. If they have 12, 13, 14 play drives and they take 6, 7, 8 minutes off the clock every time they have the ball and go down and score, I think that's how that's how you win this game. You keep Lamar, Jackson and Derek Henry off the field as much as you can. Keep your defenses fresh as you can and just win up front offensively and run that clock and run the ball. And I would say there's about a 25 to 30% chance. Michael both sides. Block the rushers up front. If you the Cowboys offense, block the rushers up front and throw the ball all over the place. Cowboys going to do that 100% because I'm saying you're like, I'm not neutral. I'm no journalist. I'm just watching. I'm here. Cowboys going to block those guys up front and let that do it. And let that do what he does. Ambar. Not as far as the other side. Why even having an opinion then? If you're always going to be biased about it, why even having an opinion? I'm not biased. Derek asked me, what do I think the Cowboys need to do to win the game?

44:19If the Cowboys can take care of the pass rush up front, like they did versus other pass rushers this year, then they'll be able to throw the ball to these super heroes that they have on the outside. Versed these corners that you guys talked about early. I think that's a very likely thing that can happen. That handles pressure very well. That gets rid of ball quickly. Why is it unrealistic, Ambar? Am I saying it's unrealistic? I'm just saying every week. You don't want to give a prediction because I'm a hoover. I'm not a journalist. I think that's a hell of a way for the Cowboys to win every week. If they're going to do, not if the Cowboys run up a gap all day and it doesn't work and they keep doing it, they're going to lose them games. But if they decide to block up front and throw the ball to the guys, to the all pro caliber guys, hell yeah, I think that's a high percentage chance of winning. As far as the opposite side, I think the defense can actually do some cool things. I'll keep this simple for the defense. Just fall on the fumbles. Get the turnovers. Get the turn. I think this is a game to where no matter what happens, offenses on both sides are going to likely put up points quickly. The Cowboys have proven consistently, Ambar.

45:20We got numbers this time that they can create fumbles. If you fall on them and just give the Cowboys- I have to win and we'll work out for them. I got some point they got to get to the ball. Yeah. The ball is on the ground enough time. You got to get your share of them. You know what I'm saying? So, hey, if the Cowboys fall on those fumbles and just one or two and give the Cowboys off in another chance at it, I can see that being a high percentage way further. Cowboys will win 90-some percent. They've been doing the first two games. Why can't they do it in the third? I think this game is all about scoring for the Cowboys because I don't see a scenario where they shut down this Baltimore defense. I really think last week when you saw the Saints did, they actually held them to 108 yards rushing. I have not seen proof that Cowboys are ready to do that yet. I don't think, I do think that as the season goes on, I think the run defense will get better. I don't think they're there yet. So, that being said, I think the key this week, as it was last week and in my opinion, I don't even come out. I take the same approach I took against Washington. I think they come out and they're going to have to be aggressive in the passing game and

46:24let that open up opportunities to run because this unit, this Baltimore defense, is much better in my opinion. They present a lot more challenges to your run game than I think you're passing them. I think there will be opportunities in passing game because you have such good weapons that you can make things happen. I think if they're aggressive offensively, they throw the ball around a lot and they keep up. They don't let the score get away from them that I think it gives them a chance to be able to win this game. And I think they have a fairly good chance of doing that. I think that's a game plan they actually can't execute. I would say it's around 80%. I am. Against this detail about his 80%. His super high grade. You're going to talk about there. He's another home. But you know what? He said, sorry, I almost called the director. Vice president. Senior. Oh, sorry. I forgot about the senior, which I shouldn't. But senior vice president where he goes in this big meeting. So he got to be able to keep it safe.

47:25He got to play it safe. But he's a big Cowboys fan too. So I don't think he sits here in lights about it either. He gives good information to back that up. Not always, but most of the time. Most of the time. So she loves you to sleep with the, yeah, he gives good information all the time. I mean, most of the time he can't y'all see 80% of the time. He drives me. 80% of the time he does. I know who she is. All right. Anyway, I think the Cowboys have a good chance if they run with that game plan. They have a good chance of winning this game. And it will be, it's going to be tough. This is not, this is going to be the heart by far the hardest game that they've had all season. And you talk about a physical team. If they haven't fixed all the issues that happened in week one and them getting pushed around, they're really going to get pushed around this week. So we're going to see how much they've grown. And I do think they've grown. I think they'll be better than they were in week one. And I think it's going to be up to them to keep that score tight. And I get themselves a chance to win it at the end. I'm going overtime. I can see that. I think it, but I kind of don't want that.

48:26No, I'm ready to get home. I just get to the plane and get home. Are we doing score predictions or? No, we're not. OK. And there's a reason for that. We're just going to do the whole time. We don't have to do it. But we'll show. I think Baltimore wins at 3531. Why would you say that to me? Close game. Close game. All right. That's a wrap. We'll be back on Monday.
