00:00Cap, I want to ask you about the Dallas Cowboys, who are always in the news, but this season
00:10it's rarely been for the reasons that you want.
00:13The combination of Dak Prescott potentially being shut down while trading for Jonathan
00:18Mingo on Tuesday, what are you hearing around the Dallas Cowboys?
00:23All right, so here's why they trade for Mingo.
00:25Mingo's got, past this season, two years left on his contract.
00:30This guy was drafted, talking to the Panthers, to be their X receiver, that's, it's typically
00:35the guy who's your number one receiver, right?
00:37It didn't work out.
00:38He's one of these guys that say body beautiful, but doesn't play up to it.
00:41So Dan Morgan, the GM of the Panthers, he was looking to move him, that was the word
00:45around the league, so he moved him, and he's going to get a chance here.
00:48Because remember, with the Cowboys, Brandon Cooks remains on IR after his knee surgery.
00:52Stevie Lamb's going to play with his sprained shoulder.
00:55This is a good chance to sort of see what Jonathan Mingo has the rest of the season.
00:58It didn't really cost him very much.
01:00Death was an issue for them, and really, when you look at it, it's a guy's got talent.
01:04He was a second-round pick, and this is a guy that someone needs to develop, it's going
01:08to be the Cowboys.
01:09And Cooper Rush today, by the way, for him as a starter, his one loss, it was terrible
01:14against the Eagles two years ago, where he threw three picks, two to C.J.
01:18Gardner-Johnson, and one to Darius Slay.
01:20So both are still with the Eagles, and that does not bode well.
01:23By the way, today for the Eagles, all 53 players on their roster are going to be available.
01:28So they're getting Dallas Goddard back today, and Darius Slay.
01:31Big-time matchup on Thursday night between Washington and Philadelphia coming up.
01:35But I also want to take a look at another NFC team here.
01:37We talk about injuries.
01:38How about guys coming back from injuries?
01:40Christian McCaffrey of the San Francisco 49ers activated and will play today.
01:44What's the prognosis for him, Cat, moving forward?
01:46Do they expect a full go for him today?
01:48Yeah, I'm not expecting, you know.
01:50One thing, Donnie, Kyle Shanahan, just like his dad, Mike, he doesn't really believe in
01:55limiting his main acts.
01:56He looked really good in practice, I was told, the last two weeks.
02:00He worked out for them last week during their buy, and they're like, okay, he's ready to
02:04go, and he had a great week of practice.
02:05Now, is he going to get every touch?
02:07No.
02:08They've got Isaac Garendo, the outstanding rookie from Louisville, who did a good job
02:12filling in a couple weeks ago, and obviously Jordan Mason has been a revelation as an undirected
02:16free agent.
02:17But I expect a big game from him.
02:19No question about it.
02:20I expect McCaffrey to have a solid game today.
02:23Not only in the run game, though, guys, in the pass game, that's kind of where they've
02:26missed him.
02:27They don't really throw to the backs of that McCaffrey, so that'll be back today.
02:30There's no question about it.
02:31And for the Bucs, look, guys, they're secondary struggling.
02:34Give Baker Mayfield credit also on offense, despite the problems at receiver with two
02:38studs down.
02:39He's gotten a job done.
02:40They really should have beaten the Chiefs.
02:41They dominated for three quarters last week.
02:43It's a shame.
02:44Kyle, quickly, before we get you out of here, the Giants right now, and they just got a
02:47turnover.
02:48So maybe they'll kind of salvage this game here against Carolina.
02:50But could you see a loss being the final game that Daniel Jones starts in a Giants uniform?
02:56Not yet, because here's the thing, and I know where you're going, because you've had your
02:59issues with Daniel Jones, Kevin, as we've talked about in the last two or three years.
03:04Drew Locke is a, he's not a developmental quarterback, and we know who Tommy DeVito
03:08is.
03:09Yes, they're out of the playoff race, we know this.
03:12But at some point, yes, I do expect to see Drew Locke, but to say he's not going to play
03:16again, Daniel Jones, no, I don't see it that way.
03:18By the way, they're a little bit more competitive today than probably most people thought.
