Better and better as they've they've become the blossom.
It's just like in like a rose in the spring, it's blossoming started off as a seed of an idea and then started to grow a little bit.
Speaker 7I appreciate you admiring my blossom.
Speaker 4I do.
Speaker 5I admire one of my favorite budding I am what is that one of my favorite shows from back in the day.
Speaker 9What's the show Blossom?
Speaker 4This is before you.
Yeah.
I was about to say I know the character Blossom or the show Blossom.
Yes, girls, no, I know that one.
Speaker 5I remember there was NBC show so you for anybody who knows, you know, Big Bang Theory.
Yeah, okay, So then you know that Sheldon's girlfriend didn't watch that.
Speaker 4Used to be Blossom.
She used to have her own show, did she really?
She did?
Really?
Oh wow?
Looking up the only show like that that I watched her sit I believe.
Speaker 5You show you all right, I'm gonna show you Afternoons and News.
Okayouts out to Blossom and the other Blossom girls, because Golden Yeah.
Speaker 4Damn all right, let's get into some news and notes.
Patrick.
Speaker 5Absolutely, Cowboys had their second practice of the week and with that.
With that comes the second injury report.
And we spoke yesterday as far as Tyler Goton.
We wanted to see if he took the practice field on Thursday to determine what his trajectory is.
He did not take the practice field on Thursday, So his trajectory not good.
Speaker 7I don't like those words.
Speaker 9His trajectory is not great, Bob m GB.
Speaker 5Tyler Guiden is trending at the moment towards not playing, not returning.
Speaker 7Why would you do that?
Patrick, you know, why would you do this?
Speaker 9I don't have an answer.
Speaker 4Man out.
Speaker 5I should have checked in on them more often.
I was watching blossom.
So he did not participate.
Good news, So this is a good news bad news thing.
So good news is is Mallie Hooker was back at practice yesterday.
He had missed for for personal reasons, non injury related.
We're hoping that all was well with him.
Looks to be the case.
He's back in the building.
He was back on the practice field yesterday.
Good stuff.
Now back to the not so great news.
Jake Ferguson was downgraded with his calf issues, so he was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
He did not participate at all in Thursday's practice.
Today's practice and tomorrow morning's walkthrough will be critical in determining Jake Ferguson's availability against the Minnesota Vikings.
If Jake Ferguson cannot go, you are looking at Luke Schoolmaker and Brevan span Ford as your top two tight ends with Princeton Fant waiting in the wings.
Speaker 2Let Brevin Cook.
When did the injury pop up for Jake Ferguson.
Was that in practice or was that game related?
Speaker 9I think it was game related.
It didn't pop up in practice.
Speaker 4Okay, just because he was limited with the calf on Tuesday or Wednesday, Yes, and then popped up full yesterday with the calf correct and he was out there and he did have his helmet, which a lot of times, if you're working off to the side and you're not participating, but you at least have a helmet on, that's a good sign, which is not what Tyler Guy had.
Speaker 5Tyler, his helmet didn't have the shelves on, didn't have the jersey on, like you knew, Tyler guy in both yesterday and the day before was not gonna go from the rehab.
Speaker 4It felt like Ferguson was almost like a game time or a practice time decision on whether he was going to participate, even in a limited basis.
They said, let's just take a second, breathe on it, and then we'll reattack it as time.
Speaker 5So we'll see what Jake Ferguson's CAF does for him today and in the walkthrough tomorrow.
Going back to the good news side of the equation, the best news side of the equation, one Sadarian de Leon Lamb was a full participant in yesterday's.
Speaker 7There's a good article about that on discow dot com there.
Speaker 5All right, Yeah, so absolutely, I penned an article on cdee Lamb discussing he talked, he double feel free to p I double n ed.
It'll just keep it at the top of your thought process.
So yeah, spoke with cd Lamb yesterday after after practice and he gave some good insight as far as where he is physically and mentally with the concussion protocol.
As of yesterday after noon, he was still in concussion protocol and I saw a false report.
Speaker 9Please start following news on Facebook.
Speaker 4Folks, Oh my goodness, lord, you know how many people ask me if North Texas new head coach was Jason Garrett.
It happened again last night twice.
I will admit I felt I know, and Josh was one of them.
I forgot about that.
I wouldn't even.
Speaker 7Say that wasn't Facebook, by the way, I don't go book, but it just you.
Speaker 4Got clarifiedful and where do you get your news?
That's the big thing.
Speaker 5And then then they had it in the graphic.
So of course it's in a graphic.
It's gotta be true, right, stop it.
I almost chimed into the comments, but you know, it's not even a battle worth fighting.
The fact is, as we have this conversation, CD Lamb is still in the concussion protocol.
Could that change this afternoon, Absolutely hopefully it does, but at the moment he is.
Speaker 4But he was a full participant.
Speaker 5He ramping up very nicely, and he said that the extra two or three days from the many by allowed him to rest, which is the biggest part obviously, as we all know, when it comes to concussion.
So he's feeling much better, he's feeling well, looks like he will play again.
Speaker 9That is the expectation.
Speaker 5But when we're talking about concussion protocol, we have to put the asterisk next to it because it is not up to the team, It is not up to the player.
Independent neurologists has to clear him.
But he only has one or two more benchmarks to cross between today and tomorrow.
My gut tells me Cedeelamb plays.
Speaker 4And every box so far has been checked.
He's been out on the practice field, he went from limited to full.
That doesn't mean he's a foregone conclusion that he's playing right, but that's where you got.
Speaker 9To be there, right.
Speaker 5It doesn't get any closer to him being cleared without him being actually cleared.
Speaker 9So that's where they are turning now.
Speaker 5And they have a couple of days, actually more than a couple of days because it's a home game so they don't have to travel, right, So they technically have all the way up until in actives come out on Sunday evening because it's a primetime game, so they got a lot of time clear ceed Lamb.
Speaker 9I'm not concerned there.
Speaker 5He looks good, he sounds good, he's moving well, and by all accounts, be it coaching staff, executives.
Speaker 9Dak Prescott, other players.
Speaker 5Ceedee Lamb is is doing well, So that's the great news.
Flipping over to the Minnesota Viking side of the equation.
Speaker 2Really quick on Ceedee Lamb really quick.
I liked in his interview, which is available on dos Collies dot com.
I liked that he gave shouts to the coaching staff and the training staff for basically protecting him from himself because he was ready to go back in there.
He was going to be a whole New York Giant situation.
I'm good man, But thankfully they did not do that.
They didn't allow him to go back on the field, and it's going to be better in the long run, not.
Speaker 5Exactly a New York Giant because they head coach was the situation, the ones trying to fast forward the concussion protocol.
Speaker 9CD was just being a competitor and he just wanted to go out there.
Speaker 5And he said that he you know, and and I think as terrifying as that moment was, seeing him seeing the fingers lock up like we've seen a few times with Tua, it's good to hear after the fact that ceed didn't have any memory loss from the situation.
Speaker 9He said he still remembers.
Speaker 4Playing in that game.
Speaker 5He remembers everything except that moment of blackout, and then afterwards he remembers everything from that point forward.
Speaker 9So that's that's good as well.
Speaker 5So the very first concussion, right, I don't recall him ever having one before.
Speaker 9I don't think, not with the Cowboys.
Speaker 5I mean, fans feel for to chime in and tell us if Ceedee Lamb on the collegiate levels had a concussion, but I do not recall him ever having one with the Cowboys.
And that's a pretty scary one to be your first one.
But again, he doesn't have any residuals.
He's going through all the tests.
Interesting, he said that in Isaac knows this, but he said he's intentionally trying to frustrate himself with like the psychological tests to kind of push to see if there are any residual effects.
And he says there's been no residual effects.
So he's pushed himself to the limit mentally to make sure that there is nothing that they have to concern themselves with.
And he continues to clear those benchmarks of this stuff.
Speaker 4How many concussions or if any, have you been through.
Speaker 9I'm just curious, Well, the better question is reported.
Speaker 4Okay, yeah, how many's been reported?
Speaker 3Most guys have concussions throughout the game?
Fun factum one to Helloa nodded, knocked me out.
Speaker 4Okay, that's a big one.
I got a concussion from him in college.
Speaker 3Okay, I got another one in my rookie year in the NFL.
Speaker 4Then, yeah, I probably I got knocked out in high school.
So one at every level.
Okay, three?
Probably three that report three reported report concussions.
Yeah, like how many you think, like benchmark, you've suffered?
Speaker 7Probably were some worse than others.
Speaker 3Yeah, I got knocked out in high school.
I got knocked out in high school, like sleepy for like a couple of seconds, sleepy and then helloaly not as slammed me on my head in college and.
Speaker 4In practice, no, I guess it.
Yeah, that's right.
For some reason, I was thinking he was that you.
He started cursing at me, and then I threw a touchdown.
He said I'm gonna gill you cause I said, hey, what do I do to you?
Speaker 3And then he threw my center and my guard out the way, grabbed me and slammed my head on the ground, so.
Speaker 4He almost did.
Speaker 3He did, and then I couldn't see my wristband, Like I was like trying to focus into my wristband, and I was like, I was doing it.
Speaker 4Bro, I was.
I was good.
Speaker 3I did all my little tests on the sideline with the neurologists on the sideline.
They were like, you're good, get back in there, and bro we watched the film the next day.
Speaker 4I was calling trips to the.
Speaker 9Boundary and it was bad.
Speaker 5Bro.
Speaker 4So but yeah, then in the baseline in bound like, wait a second, I'm sure the tests have evolved.
Speaker 2Since it's a nine rout here at the goal line, They're like count to ten backwards.
Speaker 4I was like, I got that one.
Speaker 5All right, so really quickly, because those who are paying attention to the video portion of it a little bit of a sadebar between Josh and I.
I just sent a message upstairs to see what cedde lampstatus is.
So hopefully by the end of this show we will know if he's stealing protocol or if I can confirm for you that he's been cleared.
Speaker 9So put it pint in that I'm working that actively.
Speaker 5Also, Sideball, Melvin Kendrick, they know Blossom, they know Ball.
They're talking a couple of they're talking to Blossom right now.
And also if you know Blossom, then you know six.
And that's all I gotta say.
Speaker 4Wasn't Blossom like a little girl from the shows?
Yeah?
Speaker 5Yeah, and she had no we're not talking about that.
And she had her best friend's name was six.
And anyone who knows of six, anyone who knows of six knows.
Speaker 4It a show man.
So that work on that for a little bit.
Speaker 9He'll work on now.
Minnesota Vikings.
Speaker 5Okay, so Christian Derris saw their offensive tackle with a knee issue.
He still has not practiced this week.
He's not trend in the right direction, which works in the favor of the Cowboys edge rushers if they can take advantage of that.
Let's see what else we got.
Speaker 4TJ.
Speaker 5Hockinson.
He made some progress with that.
Shingury shouts out to the family.
Speaker 4That's not for me.
That like family dropped that in the comments.
It's impressive.
Yeah, that's impressive.
Speaker 5So with the shin injury, he did not participate on Wednesday, but he participated in a limited capacity on Thursday, so he is moving toward potentially playing.
We'll see how that goes and from there.
There's there were no changes in a negative light.
Donovan Jackson Guard he was upgraded the full, THEO Jackson Safety upgraded the full.
Drake Rodriguez upgraded the full.
So not a lock to report from the excuse me from the Viking standpoint, just keep an eye on Darris Saw and Hockinson to see if those guys.
Speaker 9I knew you're gonna do that.
I knew it because it's already made.
Speaker 4Hawss, I knew you're gonna do that too.
Let's freaking go.
Speaker 5So yeah, that's news and notes for today.
We'll see if Tyler Gotton gets on the practice field today.
If he does not, I'm just gonna go ahead and draw on line and right through him.
Ceedee Lamb looks like he is on the one second, let me read this text.
Well, I'm working stories in real time for y'all seriously, and Ceedee Lamb is cleared.
Speaker 4Okay, nice, So he's out of protocol.
I think it's already bro Yeah, it's out there, but there you go.
The uh now it's confirmed.
Speaker 9Confirmed out broke out.
There were per sources.
Speaker 5I'm telling you from upstairs to my to my iPhone.
Ceedee Lamb is confirmed cleared.
Speaker 4Of concussion prop it is confirmed.
It is confirmed, nicely done.
Speaker 9So he is in against the Minnesota Vikings.
Speaker 4Huge, very nice, huge huge.
All right, So before we get into why do you stop that?
Before we get into the get your popcorn ready?
Yes, I want to talk about Tyler Guiden Nate Thomas real quick.
What's the concern level now that you've seen a couple of games of Nate Thomas, because we've had this conversation on this show before, has your opinion changed and what's your confidence level in him moving forward?
If guydon is out this week and then possibly next week against the Chargers.
Speaker 7Just like anything, I think the guy needed more reps.
Speaker 9Don't do it?
What did you just say?
Speaker 10Just like all right, Mike McCarthy, brother, No, I generally mean like, the more playing time he gets, I think the better is going to get.
Speaker 2I'm not absolutely not sold on Nate Thomas as of right now.
I think he did have a really bad game, but I think your whole offensive line did.
Let Coober beeB has had bad games this season, and I'm not writing any of them off.
I think at least for now outside looking in, Uh, you may not have Terrence Steele in the squad just based on contracts and what that looks like for next year.
And I think you want to keep a guy like Nate Thomas and give him a shot, get him some reps and see if he can improve.
Yeah, that's not What are you gonna do?
Throw another guy that you don't know out there?
Speaker 4You know?
Well, you could, you could line reps.
You could move Getton to right tackle, which is what he played in college, But then you would be right back in the middle of the draft trying to draft another left which is not a great spot to be in.
Not the ideal scenario going into it, needing to hit on a left tackle that's going to be a.
Speaker 2There's a point of diminsson hard turns for your team, and we're looking at it right now.
We've invested so much in the offensive line and not so much, you know, on the defensive side or other skill positions that you desperately needed to trade for and move up and makes some moves for right.
So at least for me, I want to stick with the guys that we have just to see because we've seen Nate Thomas play well.
Speaker 4I was just curious.
I just wanted to look it up the PFF grades and like I've said, these are not the Bible, and these are not the only thing that you can use as your only source of information, but it's kind of fun to reference based off of what you've seen on the film too.
Out of eighty one offensive tackles in the National Football League, would you like to guess where Nate Thomas ranks out of those eighty one sixty five, he is number eighty one.
He is dead last, which is kind of wild.
I don't think he's the worst offensive tackle in football right now or in the National Football League.
I don't think that, and I don't believe that, but it is interesting that they believe that.
That's PFF though.
Speaker 5That is That's what I said, Yeah, I mean, the bottom line is we've seen good from Nate Thomas, we've seen bad from Nate Thomas.
And because of that combination of two things, and there's a good enough sample size for Nate Thomas for me to say that I believe he has potential.
I just don't believe that he's a starter in this league.
I think he can be a quality swing tackle.
You still need that, don't you You need that, You do need that, you need multiple But yeah, but what you don't need to do is try to uh, you know, make a turn it bleed, so to speak.
So in that case, yeah, in that case you need to figure out.
So for me with Tyler Guy, and we talked about it, is availability, right, He's he's dealt with injuries over these past his first two seasons, you know, so he just needs to stay on the field.
And I believe if he can stay on the field, then the rest will start to solve itself.
Because if you can't stay on the field, then you're missing out on quality reps.
If you're missing out on quality reps, and how can you get better?
Speaker 9You know what I mean.
Speaker 5So he just needs to stay on the field for long stretches of time.
I feel like he's you know, he's on the field for a few games and then he'll miss a couple.
Then he's on the field for two games and then miss a couple.
Both of his training camps with the Cowboys, he's suffered some sort of injury that's cost him some preseason time.
Speaker 4Yep.
Speaker 9So I think that he's developing, but I.
Speaker 5Think because of the injury situations plural, he's behind in his development.
Speaker 9And those two things are just kind of button heads right.
Speaker 4Now, Isaiah, Yeah, I had Tyler Guid.
Speaker 3Ready spoke my piece on him earlier this week in regards to I'm not sure where his head is that and then Nate Thomas is serviceable.
Speaker 4He's not.
Speaker 3He's not a game wrecker by any means, but he's serviceable.
That's all you can expect from somebody in his position.
Speaker 9Swing tackle there, you're good.
Speaker 4You would call it serviceable.
What you've seem so far from Nate Thomas, and thank.
Speaker 9You balance it out.
You've seen some really good from him, you've seen some really bad from him, Like.
Speaker 4I feel like it's really good, is kind of giving him too much credit?
Really good in smaller solid, I would say solid, not really good.
Speaker 5There's at least and I'd have to go back in my notes and see if there's at least one game I got to give him his credit.
There's at least one game where he played really well, and there are several games where he was solid, And then there are like two or three games.
Speaker 4But he's played like for five.
Speaker 9No, I'm talking about the totality Thomas.
Speaker 4Okay, so.
Speaker 5More solid games than good or bad.
He's had at least one really good game He's had a couple of pretty bad games, so when you mix it all together you get serviceable.
Speaker 4Yeah, okay, I just I don't know if I've seen what I wanted to see out of him, because I was I was a fan.
Remember, if you could think back and what you want to see, I wanted a starter.
You haven't.
You're right there was, But that was the thought process initially.
Is Tyler Goydon wasn't living up to the expectation, mostly because of his availability.
Let's throw Nate Thomas in there and see what's going on.
I haven't been impressed with what I've seen from Nate Thomas, even over Tyler Geydon and Tyler Goydon at least has a future and at least has a ceiling that you're trying to hit in his development that you haven't hit yet, whereas Nate Thomas hasn't even as been as good as the floor that we've seen from Tyler Goeydon.
At times, I would much rather have Tyler Guidon in the full.
Speaker 7Would you rather see a dentergy.
Speaker 4Uh at left tackle?
Speaker 7Fine?
Speaker 2No, I mean, if like genuinely, if you're if you're not looking what you're seeing from Nate Thomas.
I'm curious if there's another spot that you would want to open up for a different guy on the roster.
Speaker 4Probably not, mostly just because I want to see the development out of the two guys, Guyton and out of Thomas, and you're if you're not fighting for a playoff spot, maybe that's what you do because you're throwing him in there and see if he can play left tackle at a considerable or a serviceable level, and then you can kind of look to the future and say, ah, identergy might be your depth while we go and draft somebody, or while you go and sign somebody, or however that may go.
But right now you're trying to decide if Tyler Guiden and Nate Thomas belong at left tackle for the future, because I think Tyler Guiden's on the roster for the future.
He just might not be your left tackle.
He might be your right tackle.
And so they're not moving on from Tyler Guiden.
That's not happening right now, and I think they believe in the building that he's going to be a tackle of the future for this franchise one way or the other.
Nate Thomas, is he going to be enough to be your left tackle in the future.
I don't think so, not at least based off of what I've seen so far.
Fair enough, and that's my thought process.
Speaker 5Right, No, I mean yes, correct, correct, But you do make an interesting point about I Dentergy.
Speaker 9Would I rather see him at left tackle?
No, but you gotta see him.
Speaker 4At some point.
I think once the playoffs are off the table entirely, then you can talk about it.
But you still got your slight chance on the table at the moment.
Speaker 5You got to assume and a quick quick answer before you go to the break six or Topenga to Pengo over over everything.
Speaker 4She was good on Dancing with the Stars this year too good?

Seven reasons why, and none of them are injurally related.
It's been quite the team thriller this season.
A mysterious disappearance, barbs flying, drama swirling.
But is it possible that Trayvon digs buys in fully practices and contribute It's in a big way on Sunday Night.
The separdiction is Thea's not only plays but gets himself an interception on Sunday night.
But be careful if you get too invested in this cliffhanger, there's always a good chance it gets canceled.
Ooh, all right, now, finally had some deep meaning time and there are holiday movies on Netflix.
Guys, it's not a Rome game, but you could bet it will be snowing inside at and T Stadium because it's Christmas time.
But there's one player that wants to spoil the Vikings holiday cheer for all to hear.
He's a mean one, and after last week when some said his heart was two sizes too small, George Pickens aka Sisty Clause is going to leave something special under the route tree.
How about two touchdowns and he steals one hundred and forty receiving yards from the Viking secondary one.
Speaker 7Cow's Nation.
Speaker 2If you're not the game, log in, press play Netflix and chill.
But first, get your popcorn ready because it's going to be a show.
Speaker 4Incredibly done.
Speaker 7Yeah, gets popcorn ready.
Speaker 4Popcorn.
Speaker 7So we got three movies Stranger Things, Patient nine, it's all difficult.
Seven reasons.
Speaker 4Yeah, those are good.
Speaker 9I do think, I do think George Pickens has a bounce back game.
Speaker 5I think he's forty thought Brian floor Is, I don't see that.
I'm taking Stranger Things Patient nine.
I think Jaj McCarthy turns the.
Speaker 4Ball over three times.
Speaker 5There can be two interceptions, could be two interceptions and one lost fumble.
Could be two lost fumbles and one interception.
I think he turns the ball over.
Speaker 4The three between that one three is a lot.
Yeah, that is a lot between that one and seven.
Reasons why because I do think Diggs will play, but will he make an impact and have a turnover which they might go hand in hand.
It might be one of the three exactly who knows, I mean it might be a possibility there.
I think I'm going to go with Stranger Things Patient nine.
Though I'm more confident that JJ McCarthy will mess things up than I am confident that Trayvon Diggs will play significantly enough to have an interception or to force a turnover.
Speaker 2That's fair enough.
So Isaiah Stanak, give me Stranger Things.
Stranger Things, Patient nine is man, the first one's.
Speaker 4Always too fumble.
Speaker 6If it's been really good on the first one, a lot, make your one three or maybe I just got to make the others less crazy or stranger.
Speaker 4Well, do you whenever you write it, do you write it in order?
Like do you the first one?
Flip them around?
Speaker 7This is going to be funnier, like and go down and go down.
Speaker 4You knew we're gonna laugh, Claus was funny.
Speaker 7Well, when you're writing it down, all right?
Speaker 4I like the Yeah, I like the Stranger Things one, mostly because I still we talked about it yesterday.
J J.
McCarthy.
He's the more time he has the throw he is he's pepulate pew.
Okay, okay, he's not to the not to the higher level level.
Speaker 9Can we get the three hundred?
Speaker 4And he's working his way there.
Speaker 7He's pepula This is Friday.
Speaker 4He's pepulate pew.
Speaker 7What I just want to hear a character on TV.
I just want to hear one one time.
Speaker 4Think you didn't pepulate pew?
Speaker 9You know what we're here.
Speaker 4He's talking about you know what can Looney Tunes?
Speaker 7What do you hear the grouch who lives in the is hebo I ever said that he stings?

I'm here, I am here, Okay, I'm here, I'm good and good.
Speaker 7Okay, Kermit the Frog?
Speaker 4All right?
Patrick Mahomes did that one?
You actually led me into that on on air one I sang for you last week.
Where's that we're saying we need that draft?
Speaker 5The uh?
Speaker 4Yeah?
What was that two weeks ago where you were on post game and he actually called Ermitt Patrick Mahomes Kermit on the postgame your phone and in the break he was like, dang it, Josh.
He was like cursing, like under his breath, like I can't believe Josh had me do that.
Speaker 7That's Kermit the Homes here And that's scary.
Speaker 9All right, accuracy, that's scary.
Speaker 4Very well done with your stat prediction.
You don't normally give one, which which one would you choose?
Speaker 7I'm gonna go shisty clause.
Speaker 2Okay, I think he's a mean one, like I said, a mean one.
Yeah, two touchdowns on okay, what's happening?
Speaker 7One?
Speaker 5I could see the two Toddies, the one forty against Brian floor is too high show, Yeah, that would be sensational if it were to occur.
Speaker 4Mean, but they give the all slave the middle of the field though, all those lands.
Yeah, the yak yard is just gonna be there.

Speaker 11But we'll see.
Speaker 4I guess, Joshua Damas.
Picking against everybody else makes me nervous.
All right, Bills at Patriots, that's a good one in the be a good game, josh you start us.
Speaker 7I'm taking the New England Patriots.
Go pack my cat in the hot yat over there.
I'm going for the Patriots.

Speaker 7I need the Bills desperate when they play Philadelphia.
Speaker 4Thanks, I like that.
I like that, But I'm still gonna pick the Bills.
They played so many big games.
This is kind of that first real big Patriots national opportunity.
I'm gonna take the Bills in, Josh Allen and get it done.
Give me Gunzel and Digs on the Patriots.
All right, what do you think, Mike, Patriots, It'll it'll be.
It'll be a close game.
I feel like whoever's gonna win three like three points of the most, but I'm gonna I'll pick the New England.
So from one game filled with Juggernauts to another game filled with juggernuts.
As we go to the Commander's brother, Commanders and Giants, Pat, I'll let you start.
Oh this is give you the pleasure that I do.
Speaker 5Think the Commanders have a better showing.
But Jade is not playing this week, so Jackson the Jackson Darts, So the Giants.
I think the Giants take this.
Speaker 4I think I'm gonna take the Giants just because they're at home.
Speaker 2It's the only real you guys hear the head coach is pep talk for the Giants last week was hard knocks.
Speaker 7That's really funny.
Speaker 9It wasn't a positivity, bunny.

Speaker 7Is there a guy over there that gets hired in December.
Speaker 4In Denver or in Green Bay?
Speaker 7In Green Bay, guy over there back gets tired December, he goes tends to kind there might.
Speaker 5Be a guy he's going to be chasing his heir in Denver.
Okay, I say, I'm pretty sure Michael gets at least three sacks.
Who wow, would you like to put a bet on that three sack?
Speaker 4Micah for that hat?
Say it with your chist.
That doesn't fit you, Kyle, it sure does, it does.
Speaker 2However, eight and a half you get this get to wear a line costume on the next Goody Neutron are bringing it hot sauce.

Mike.
Did we already pick this game for you?
No?
No, Isaiah, did you said Broncos?
You picked?
You said Package?
Okay, okay, just making sure, just making sure.
Panthers at the sinks.
This is actually a big game for the Panthers because of that loss last night from the Buccaneers.
The Panthers would be in playoff position if they win this game.
What do you think a vision right now?
Aren't they yeah?
Speaker 2Or no?
Speaker 4Their second I don't think so anymore?
Are they?
Are they leading it down?
I think it swapped.
Well, there you go.
Panthers.
Still a big game.
My favorite logo when I was growing up.

Speaker 9No, I'm in rebuild mode.
Speaker 4I'm going to thank you for picks.
Now, I'm just having fun.
Now, I'm just having fun.
Mike, Carolina, it'll I think Carolina is just they're a better team.
I mean it's a divisual game, but Carolina.
All right, good analysis, very nicely done.
We've got a Sunday night football matchup on the dock at this week's Inside twenty inside, thank goodness because it is cold outside seven it's cold outside Sunday football that day.
Really, Cowboys trying to win their fourth trade against the Vikings, which would tie the longest streak against that organization in franchise history.
In order to do so, Mike, who you got, Cowboys Vikings?
And what's your score?
Speaker 9Cowboys thirty three twenty.
Speaker 4That's my final twenty.
Cowboys are not gonna hopefully lose that lose at home, and they needed more than Minnesota and desperate Tzi.
I don't I don't see this losing.
I love it.
Thank you Mike for saying it with your chest, for always listening, him for calling in.
Appreciate you.
But happy birthday brother, There he goes Mike in New York.
All right, Josh, I want you to go last.
Since you've been, you've been Josh Radonas and I want you to cap this off.
Patrick.
Speaker 9Let's see.
Speaker 5I think Quinny Williams gets two sex.
I think this two dus and that leads this Cowboys defense to uh, just a very very good day against JJ McCarthy.
And I think the offense cleans up some self inflicted wounds.
Give me the Cowboys in an absolute win or stay home, playoff birth situation.
Cowboys take this one pretty convincingly.
Thirty four twenty thirty four to twenty.
Speaker 4Almost the exact same score as Mike.
He had thirty three twenty pressures.
Right, he always wanted prices.
Speaker 9Okay, well, let's do it this way.
Forty seventeen.
Speaker 4Now you said the score.
Stick with it.
It's not like it's a competition.
You're trying to take the score.
