00:00But it's also a brutal season, George, for everyone in fantasy
00:03with Cowboys players.
00:05And to me, it's surprising.
00:08And the reason why, George, is because early on in the season,
00:12even with Dak playing, I thought to myself, okay, self,
00:16Dallas may stink, but they're down 31-10 in every game.
00:20I'm happy with Dak Prescott.
00:22I'm happy with CeeDee Lamb.
00:24And George, what played out, and I know we're on to Cooper Rush
00:27and on to, like, some secondary players there.
00:29Dowdle, we'll get into them all.
00:31But what happened with the Cowboys, George,
00:33is they were not even good in garbage time, man.
00:36Like, that, to me, was the stunner.
00:38So that means they're just a bad team.
00:41Like, man, there's nothing even bad in reality, bad in fantasy.
00:45You're down 40 points to the Saints, no problem.
00:47Just, you know, put Dak in, have him throw his three touchdowns,
00:49400 yards, and I'm happy.
00:51I'll go about my business.
00:52But that wasn't happening, so for anyone who says
00:55that when the Cowboys play, some of these good teams
00:57that are on the schedule the rest of the way,
00:59how can you have any confidence at all
01:01in starting Cooper Rush, in starting CeeDee Lamb?
01:04I just simply don't think you're going to get anything.
01:08I think that's fair, all right?
01:09The Cowboys' schedule does not get all that much easier.
01:11They play Houston on Monday night, decent defense there.
01:14They play Washington next week.
01:16We'll see.
01:17Hey, my Thanksgiving might be okay, by the way, Greg.
01:19They do play the Giants, all right?
01:21So we'll see how that goes.
01:22Oh, that's a terrible game.
01:23Sorry, folks.
01:25That's a pretty game.
01:26It's not going to be a lot of fun.
01:29And then they play Cincinnati on a Monday night.
01:33Is there any good games Thanksgiving this year?
01:35No.
01:37No, Miami-Green Bay, if Miami can get back into it,
01:39Miami-Green Bay playing the night game, maybe.
01:42You know, we'll see.
01:44But Miami's pretty terrible, so Thanksgiving.
01:45And the Lions play who on Thanksgiving?
01:48I want to say Chicago.
01:49I think they play Chicago.
01:51I'm not 1,000% sure on that, but I think they play Chicago.
01:53Three bad games.
01:55Yeah, so how fun is spending time with your family?
01:59Okay, spend time with your family.
02:00We do that, and I eat, and I go watch TV.
02:02You know what I think that they should have done?
02:04I thought Ravens-Steelers should have always been the late game.
02:08The night game, right?
02:09The night game.
02:10I agree.
02:11Yeah, that's me.
02:12I agree.
02:13I think they did that last year.
02:14The year before was a good game.
02:15It's always a good game.
02:16Yeah, this year.
02:17Wow, three bad games.
02:18Maybe those teams don't want to be locked down.
02:19They're playing it every Thanksgiving night.
02:20Who knows?
02:21You know, so we'll see.
02:22But about the Cowboys, listen, it's been a cluster of a season.
02:26We know that.
02:27It's been mismanaged from day one.
02:29I've said this several times, when you go over the chronography of the Cowboys, after
02:33they got annihilated by the Packers in the playoffs last year, what do we hear Jerry
02:36Jones say?
02:37Oh, we're going all in next season.
02:39Okay, they weren't.
02:40They let so many players, I'm not talking about the star players, they let good secondary
02:44players go.
02:45All right?
02:46And they didn't go, they didn't rebuild that.
02:47And then, you know, you don't, you wait forever to re-sign Dak and then sign CD.
02:53You know, so training camp all went, you know, and you didn't win any of those deals.
02:57You waited forever to sign them, CD did hardly participate in the camp, his chemistry with
03:00Dak was off, and then they got the deals they wanted anyway.
03:03So that was an issue all season long.
03:06Injuries have crossed the Cowboys.
03:07No, I think they have 11 guys on IR now.
03:09And most teams, by the way, once your starting quarterback goes out for the season.
03:13You and I already discussed quarterbacks, backup quarterbacks in the beginning.
03:16You're toast.
03:17All right.
03:18Cooper Rhodes is a nice guy, but he went 5-1 as a starter.
03:21But if you remember that, a lot of those teams he played after, I think Dak hurt his thumb
03:25versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in week one.
03:27They were lesser teams.
03:29They weren't the great teams.
03:30And Dallas was a better team then.
03:31They just had better players.
03:32They don't have that now.
03:34There's so many things that have been mismatched by the Cowboys.
03:37You think De'Ron Bland, remember the quarterback who had about eight return touchdowns last
03:41year.
03:42He had surgery on his toe in preseason.
03:45They took him off IR.
03:46Well, they didn't take him off IR.
03:47They opened his practice window, which is three weeks.
03:50It's been six weeks now.
03:51And they have to keep him on the roster now, because you can't put him back on IR unless
03:54you're going to end his season.
03:56Mismanaged.
03:57Parsons, missed six weeks.
03:59Never placed on IR.
04:00Mismanaged.
04:01A roster spot here.
04:02The Cowboys and Jerry Jones live on hope.
04:04Oh, I hope he can come back early.
04:06Oh, I hope he doesn't need to be out four weeks.
04:09Jerry Jones, with the curtain thing, is just a joke.
04:13Oh, to tear down the whole stadium?
04:15No, Jerry.
04:16You should put up a curtain.
04:17And by the way, don't they have some chemical you can put on the window to stop the glare?
04:20I think they have something like that you could do as well.
04:22Your own players are complaining about it, Jerry.
04:25What are you doing?
04:26You don't want to admit you made a mistake here?
04:27I mean, I'm sure it's affected other teams as well, but it always seems to affect the
04:32Cowboy players.
04:33You saw CeeDee Lamb right away go, I couldn't see the ball.
04:35It's happened several other times over the years.
04:37Just, you know, they had a big WWE event there at AT&T Stadium earlier this year.
04:44That's what they put up, Craig, over that window.
04:46Did they really?
04:47They put up curtains.
04:48I didn't know that.
04:49Wow.
04:50Yeah, they showed a picture.
04:51The WWE showed a picture of that.
04:52Yeah, the curtains were kind of ugly.
04:54Jerry, get better curtains.
04:55As for the Cowboys for fantasy, by the way, you're not starting rush.
04:59I don't care that Mike McCarthy said this week that Dattle's gonna be the number one
05:02running back.
05:03Dattle's a jag.
05:04He's just an average guy.
05:06Running back two, low-end running back two flex, but is he gonna get in the end zone?
05:10The Cowboys haven't scored a touchdown at home in two months.
05:14Two months!
05:15They haven't scored a touchdown at home here.
05:17Ferguson's not doing anything here.
05:19He's not a tight end one anymore.
05:20He's a high-end tight end two here.
05:22You're still starting CeeDee Lamb.
05:24You don't have a choice there, but, Craig, he's not a wide receiver one anymore.
05:27You and I talked about the fantasy MVP earlier.
05:30CeeDee Lamb could be one of the fantasy LVPs as far as someone who didn't get hurt because
05:35his numbers are only going to get worse.
05:37Cooper Rush does not have the arm to get it to him over and over again.
05:40This is an ugly season for the Cowboys all around.
05:42There's nobody else.
05:43Tolbert, Brandon Cooks, when he comes back, nobody else I want to start here.
