Episode Date: November 10, 2024

 For all his accomplishments as a quarterback, Jalen Hurts has yet to win a road game against the Dallas Cowboys. That figures to change Sunday as the 6-2 Eagles face a Cowboys team without Dak Prescott set to start Cooper Rush at quarterback. With A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert at his disposal, plus MVP candidate Saquon Barkley in the backfield, Hurts should be in shape to break this particular schneid.Join Fran Duffy and Bo Wulf for the kickoff show as they preview the matchup and check in with Zach Berman, live at AT&T Stadium.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Zach Berman's on the seen in Arlington at AT&T Stadium. We will hear from him in a little bit. But before that, we got to talk to my friend, the best Eagles analyst in the business. Fran Duffy, how you doing?

Strong. I don't think I need all that, but I'm doing good, man. It's always a good football Sunday. So we've got plenty of football all day. It's a lot to take in. I mean, you're going tie? It's Dallas week. Come on.

It's going to be. We should wear a cowboys hat then. The sun, the sun's going to be down. We're some boots and spurs. It's going to be a, it's going to be a, it's going to be a nice. show for after the game. I'm sure Vinnie will be Vinny will be dressed in the night. Yeah, but there's nothing you can do to

Outlook Vinny. I know. I got to do my best. I mean, if we're going to be honest, the moment I decided I was wearing a tie today was Friday afternoon. Okay. Watching the show. Okay. And you, on the solo shot of you just, you were

like a pig and slop gloating about your move and swooper with me and Zach. And I said, I wasn't gloating. That is when I'm going to. I am wearing a tie on Sunday. Listen, that was you. I was just along for the ride. You guys said you wanted to do it, take the half point.

Fine by me. I'm not going to argue. Listen, we can get into that later. We've got plenty, obviously, to discuss. But just know, that was the moment I said, I'm going to go wear, I'm going to wear a tie. All right. Well, we have plenty to talk about good news on the injury front for the Eagles. They had all those guys who were sort of limited during the week of practice. Now, most of them, in fact, all of them,

except for Ben Van Suverin, not even listed on the injury report. So you're AJ Brown, you're Devante Smith, you're Fred Johnson at left tackle. All those guys are playing in this game. And Ben Van Van Subrin, who was questionable coming through the concussion protocol, will play in this game. So the Eagles have that fullback package available to them. For the Cowboys, they're getting Michael Parsons back. Yep.

C.D. Lamb is playing, despite whatever he is dealing with. Obviously, no deck Prescott. It's Cooper Rush at quarterback. back, but one little bit of information on the injury front for the Cowboys, no Tyler Guyton, their rookie left tackle. So another opportunity for the Eagles to maybe get after Cooper Rush in this game. Yeah, so it looks like, based off reporting down in Dallas, that it'll be Assam Richards getting the start. Who's that? All right. So Assam Richards, second year tackle. It was a sixth round pick a year ago out of North Carolina. Zach will enjoy the fact that he is a

Philadelphia native, went to the Haverford school, 20 minutes that way, 30 minutes that way, depending on traffic. Not too far from, I forget how Zach pronounced Lankanae Hospital, but Lankenthal Hospital. But when you look at a Seam Richards, the book on him,

really athletic, he's got excellent feet, the movement skills are all there. The anchor strength was a question. The power was a question. So the overall play strength profile, that is something the Eagles could look to prey on. I thought that he was probably at best,

like a developmental backup type coming out of North Carolina, a guy that would need a redshirt year or two before being counted on to play. I thought the hands were a little messy, the footwork a little bit messy. Obviously, he got that red shirt year or year ago. So now this will be his first real extensive action and he'll get it against Josh Sweat, who will certainly look to put that anchor to the test here early on, I would imagine.

It's Assam Richards and not Richard. Not Richard. The really nice guy was a huge, obviously grew up a big Eagles fan. So I'm sure this is a big moment for him. I remember talking to him at the Combine in February 2020, so last year and him talking about following the Super Bowl in 2017. Look, yeah, he might have been a six. he might have been in the chat.

I wouldn't count that out. He might be there. He could be. Making sure he's checking in before the game. But a big, big opportunity, certainly for the Philadelphia native, but big tests for him as well, going up against Josh Sweat.

So if you're Josh Swet, you're going up against the guy making his very first start at left tackle. What are the kinds of things that you do to sort of test him out? You have to test the anchor like right away. I would imagine that like first series, first real dropback.

My guess is Josh Swet is going to try and work the bull rush. if not the first play, the second play. Like you have to be able to see like, all right, what does this kid have, you know, to be able to hold up against my bull rush? And if it doesn't, if you were able to get that pressure early, then you know you can kind of push that button a little bit later. My guess is they'll try and do that sooner rather than later.

After that, then you can try and start mixing some things up. Ideally, you're able to get a quick win and then try and set things up off of that as the game progresses. Something that we will try to talk to Vinnie Curry about in the post game show, Super Bowl champion Vinny Curry joining us as well as Jamie Lynch, something to follow throughout this game. For the Eagles, Fran, this full complement of weapons for Jalen Hertz in this game.

They're going to be worried about Michael Parsons. Yes. We have seen them game playing against him different ways. We talked about it over the course of the week on the P.H. What's your expectation for how they attack Michael Parsons? Yeah, I would imagine it's going to be a healthy dose of the run game early. But we've seen in the past that they have tried a lot of different things, whether it's the use of RPO's and screens,

play action certainly in years past against Michael Parsons and other top flight edge rushers to just try and keep them off balance. I even go back to what they did a couple of weeks ago with Miles Garrett. And that's really the first time we saw this offense really lean heavily into the run game. So I would expect that that will be on the menu here for the Eagles, even though it's Lane Johnson going up against Parsons. And obviously we know that Lane arguably the best tackle in football once again this year. So I think that you still feel good about that matchup overall when you need it, but you still don't want to put Lane in those situations where you're, you know, It's a pure drop, pure past game drop back, and you're giving Micah Parsons that two-way go.

You want to have him thinking as often as possible. So I think running at him and then doing as much of the backfield action, I think that will be beneficial to the Eagles offense. And listen, there's every reason to expect. This is a division game. It might end up being closer than the Eagles would like. But it's a real opportunity for them to win this game going away. They're seven and a half point favorites, I believe, right now,

going up against a team that is as hamstrung as Dallas is, knowing that the Eagles have the commanders on Thursday night, if they can salt us one away and be able to rest guys in the fourth quarter, all the better ahead of what might be a game for first place. Yeah, you know, last week against Jacksonville, I said, you know, look, the big plays will be there. You're going to have those opportunities against that secondary, against that defense.

You don't need to get greedy. You don't need to get aggressive early on. I kind of feel differently about this matchup. I think in this one, if you're the Eagles, shot plays early on. Try and see if you can put your foot, on their throat very early, get them to quit. To me, this is a little bit of a front-running Dallas Cowboys team,

and especially with all the turmoil they have faced over the last few weeks, I think if you can kind of get in there, because they've had some bad blowout, some bad losses. So if you're able to jump out 10-0, 14-0, 17-3, something like that in this game, I think it's curtains for Dallas. I don't think that they're going to have the fight to be able to come back. So for me, I would imagine that the Eagles will come out aggressive to your point. If you can go into the third quarter and you're up by two or three scores,

Sequin Barclay's out of the game. Lane Johnson's out of the game. You get those heavy hitters out and you rest them for Thursday night. So what is the concern for you? How could this game not go that way for the Eagles? I think when you look at Michael Parsons, certainly he's someone that can tilt the game just because of his general ability. There was a tweet that was, I think, from Adam Schaefter this morning,

that, yeah, obviously Cooper Rush. It looks like he's going to get the start. Trey Lance might get mixed in in certain packages in this game. And so, you know, could they come out and do some unscester? scouted stuff and you know, you factor in the QB run game and do some some wonky stuff there. That would be something that could kind of throw this game off tilt. C.D. Lamb, obviously, you look at their blue chipped out and you say, okay, those are the guys that can kind of tilt this game. But let's call a spade a spade. This team has been terrible

for the majority of this season. Offensively and defensively has not been up to snuff. And now they're doing it without DAC Press, doing it without their left tackle. They're going to mix and match along the offensive line. They don't have the depth up front defensively. And so the Eagles should win this game. You have much more talent than them on both sides, it would be more about what can they do unscouted-wise and then obviously the blue chip guys on that side. And if you are able to take a step back from just wanting to get the win and sort of wanting to understand the personnel and evaluate guys, Cooper DeGine has been so good since coming into this lineup. I'm really interested to see how he does against CD-Land when

Cid Lame is inside. Yeah, and he's passed every test so far. I mean, what he did against Jemar Chase a couple of weeks ago in Cincinnati was so, so impressive. And so I think that he's up for that challenge. My guess is that they are going to try and push those buttons, though, Dallas. I think that they're going to try and see if you can get CD Lamb one-on-one with both he and with Quignan Mitchell. You feel good about that. If you're Dallas saying, all right, like that, hey, it's our best player going up against a rookie corner. We like that matchup. So far, that's been good for the Eagles and Q and with Cooper DeGine. We'll see if they can keep that up. All right. Well, with all of that in mind, we head now to AT&T Stadium where our man,

the Hall of Famer, Zach Berman is on the scene. Zach, how you doing? And doing great. Good seeing you guys. Good to see you as well. What is the, what's the word, what's the scoop? Anything interesting that you have been able to lay your eyes on at Jerry World? Sure. So I was watching pregame warmups to see if Bryce Huff had to hand in the jury before the game.

And it was interesting watching the defensive personnel groupings. So Bryce Huff was taking work with the. second team nickel. It was him in Jellix Hunt with the second team nickel. In the five-man front for the second team, it was J-O-X-Hunt and Brandon Graham. Five-man front for the first team was Nolan Smith and Josh Sweat. Now, I did not see the first team nickel.

I was trying to see some of the cowboys during that time. I couldn't see the offensive line formation for the Cowboys because Tyler Guitons out, so I wanted to see if it was, in fact, as seen Richards. I couldn't see that, but I did see. So Bryce Huff was not with the five-man second team. Was with the five-man, oh, I'm sorry, was with the second team Nichols when he was out there. So I'm going to pay close attention to Bryce Huff's usage. I mean, Vic Fangio does, he does not mess around. Vic Fanger doesn't care about your contract,

it seems like. He's playing the guys he's comfortable with. And I don't think this is a hand injury situation here. We'll see how many snaps Bryce Huff takes today. I love the skepticism, the one place where you're willing to really disbelieve what the eagles are telling you. I love that. More than one place, but that is a place for sure. What would your expectations be for Jayluxan? Have you seen any increased activity from him in the open area of practice over the last couple of weeks? Have you seen just what do you expect from him in the rotation here today?

First off, I like the tie. I feel like this is Al Golden at Miami. That's the, that's, that's the, that's the Al Golden Tite Miami. That's a compliment, right? Yeah. So, Jellix Hunt, Jalek's Hunt, this is more word of mouth. The open portion of practice, I haven't really been able to decipher enough to really feel comfortable saying this. But you heard Nick Siriani say the other day, I've heard behind the scenes, people are really

impressed with the way Jell X Hunt looks. And then even just, just watching pregame reps, like he's getting work out there. it would not surprise me if we see more defensive snaps from J.OX Hunt going forward. What about the rest of the defense, Zach? Do you have any expectation for what they are most concerned about? Does it just come down to stopping CD-LAM? Yeah, you hit on the head, though. I mean, it's stopping CD-Land because you look at it personnel-wise,

the rest of that roster isn't particularly imposing. And I think the Eagles would take it. If Jalen Tobert beats you, then so be it, right? Like you're, you don't want C.D. Lamb to beat you here. The running game is not particularly intimidating. They're playing backups on the offensive line. Really, the, the, the best thing the Cowboys have gone for them offensively is number 88. And I heard you before I came on.

You hit on the head, though. This is the toughest matchup yet for Cooper the Gene. Now, I know he saw a lot of Jamar Chase. So I, I mean, Jamar Chase is outstanding. My guess is you'll see him. more of city lamb in the slot today than you saw Chase a few weeks ago. How are your travel, Zach? My travels were great.

My travels were great. I left late yesterday, so I didn't get in until about 10 o'clock last night. I did it a little differently today than I, this is year 13 coming to Dallas. This is 15 trips because I was here for a playoff game. I was here for the BCS National Championship when Oregon was in it. And for the first time, I'm staying in Arlington, Texas. Because I wanted to, I was getting here late. I wanted to walk to the stadium, took a nice walk this morning past the Texas Rangers old

ballpark, past the Texas Rangers new ballpark. It was, I got a little sweatier than I wanted to on the walk. I was a bit more disheveled than I liked to be when I walked into the stadium. Someone needs another shower. Fresh as I would like, yeah, I mean, I felt like I needed a shower. You know, you want to be fresh. I did a video with DOLS, our friends of DOLS, Clarence Hill. And I saw the video and I was like, you know what?

The shirt was out of a little bit too much. It wasn't tucked in the way I wanted to. So I need to be more cognizant after walking the mile and a half to the stadium to freshen up when I get here. Now because it's been a nice trip. Because you were traveling to Arlington, that did mean that you missed your 20th high school reunion last night. I'm curious. Unfortunately. How concerned you are.

that Julia has discovered a treasure trove of things for us to needle you about moving forward, given her presence there last night. Well, first up, I'm envious of Julia. I would have loved to be there to hang out with Julia and hang out with my graduating class. And I take a lot of pride in the association with all of them. I'm fascinated by what treasure trove of information, Julia, could accumulate considering the whole thing of a reunion is that, like, you haven't been with that group of people for 20 years, right? I mean, there might be bits and pieces, but stuff from high school, I think I, I think I'm a little different now than I was 20 years ago.

I hope we all have grown, I mean, for me, not literally, but grown and matured in those, in those 20 years. But I'm mainly, so yeah, when you're on the case, Bo, I know how good a reporter you are. I'm always concerned that you might get a treasure tropeical information, but it's more just envious that I didn't get to hang out with Julia and the rest of our graduating class. Hey, Zach, Dallas Goddart back for this game. Do you expect that he'll be on some kind of pitch count, or do you think it's all systems go? I think it's all systems go. Full participant in practice throughout the week.

He, you know, I spoke to him twice this week, and he said that he felt like he could have gone last week. And they kind of held him back a bit, but he felt he could have gone last week. So I think he's good now. Now, you do have to keep in mind what games coming beyond this, right? you had, where he had Washington on Thursday night. But I'm expecting the full Dallas gotter,

at least in terms of what the workload is. Dallas, I said this on the show the other day. This is the third time he returned against the Cowboys on after a multi-week injury. So it's just kind of a scheduled coincidence there. But he's never won in Dallas. He's had some good games here. But he's never won in Dallas.

So he was actually drafted the year the draft was in Dallas. So there's a lot of associations between Dallas and Dallas. But he has, I know he's eager to get his first win here. Last one from me, Zach, as the chat is reporting, and I see it that the Steelers have just jumped up on the Washington Commanders, 2827, with just about two minutes left. I'm curious if you can tell us what are the kind of preparations that the Eagles have done, been able to do both in terms of looking ahead to the commanders

and getting these players ready for that quick turnaround. Sure, yeah. So whenever there's a Thursday game, you have advanced, I don't want to say advanced scouts, but people in the building, quality control people, they get ahead of it. While the coaches are kind of doing game planning, similar to what I saw Fran do it in the office, the team's getting a jump on their next opponent. So from a game planning perspective, you know, you have a lot of coaches who've watched what was there before the Steelers game.

Now they have to cram for the Steelers. but from a physical perspective, you know, Bo wrote a great piece. I know I'm talking to you, but I'm talking to the audience too. Bo wrote a great piece a few years ago when the players were on exercise bikes,

literally in the locker room after the Sunday game when they had the Texans the following Thursday. And so there are certain things you do recovery-wise. Now, it's a little more difficult. I know when you're traveling, right? So some of the, when you're traveling home, when you have the Sunday road game and then Thursday home game,

because when they clear, you know, when they finish up here, they have to get back. They have to get on the airplane. So recovery-wise, there's some different things that they do for road games. But, but yeah, it's a quick turnaround for both teams. Zach, my last question for you will just be about Jailet Hertz. Bo asked about Dallas Goddert and the number are how available he would be for this game. We look at Jalen. Obviously, there was a lot of talk about the ankle this week.

If you had to put a number on it, like in terms of percentage, in terms of how full go he is. What is Jaylen operating with today? Yeah. Good question. I mean, he's, look, he's obviously playing. It was a full participant in practice, but there's clearly some type of soreness there. So let's say, and this is just pure speculation, let's say 80%.

But I think it's something there that we should watch, see if it affects him when he runs, see if it affects him when he plants. I think it's probably more of a question about the planting than it is. is the running. But it is something that I'm obviously particularly mindful of now. And how aware do you think Jalen Hertz is that he has not yet won in the stadium? I think Jalen knows all that stuff, for sure, especially Gailen's a Texas. Yeah, and he's a Texas guy too, right?

So I think he's quite aware of this. All right. I do have a question for Fran here. Oh. If I may. And I hope I'm not repeating something that might have been on the show before. I would put. Go ahead.

It's going to ask about Assam Richards. Have we discussed the Seam Richards? 100% I knew it was coming. Okay. Has this been covered on the show? It has, but yes, go ahead. Okay. Okay.

Well, no, I just want to know, like, you know, I remember Seam Richards when he was at the Harvard School. I remember him when he was at the University of North Carolina. I remember him coming out of the draft. But, you know, I was sitting next to Jimmy Kempski, and Jimmy was wondering if they would actually, it might have been Jimmy wondering this, if they would move Tyler Smith over to left tackle,

and put someone else in that guard or if they would go with with Richards. I'm asking you this because you've obviously done a lot of film evaluation on Richards. What would you do if you were the Cowboys? Would you do the one for one swap there? Would you move Smith over? Yeah, when Bo first asked me,

because Bo kind of broke the news to me that Guyton would be out. And so he said, all right, what have they done so far? Dallas has played a bunch of different offensive line combinations this year. And what they had done was bump Tyler Smith out. And so that was what my gut first said that they would. do but then just going through uh going through online and seeing uh all the reporting down there at Dallas was that it would would be a seam Richards. It seemed like it was going to be a seam Richards. Um, my my personal gut would be, yeah, I think that they would be better off doing that,

putting Richards in, keep Tyler Smith where he's at rather than make yourself weaker at two spots. I don't think that Tyler Smith, we didn't really talk about him on Thursday. I don't think that he's had quite the year that people were hoping with him. Uh, he obviously took a huge jump from his rookie season until last year. And I think this year playing large, between two rookies but having to bounce between a couple spots. He has been a little bit down. This year still a really good player, but I think they want to kind of keep him in that spot.

But certainly a big test here for the Philly guy, seeing Richards, who grew up very close to Lankanaw Hospital, Zach, and I couldn't remember how you pronounce that. Yeah, I screw up with the pronunciation there. Speaking of Lankanol Hospital, you know, one of their finest Bryce Young had a degree today. So, you know, he's doing his hometown hospital

proud. And where is that in relation to where you are? In relation to where I am. Well, I don't know the geographical orientation, but from Dallas, you would go north, east. Okay. So you'll go

north, east. I can tell you it would take about three hours and 52 minutes to fly there. And then I would tell you once you get in like a ride share from the Philly airport, it'll probably take about 25 to 28 minutes to get the length of the hospital. All right. Well, thank you very much. Zach, we will talk to you after the game. Enjoy the mac and cheese. And we'll talk to you later.

Thanks, guys. Talk to you soon. I mean, you know a guy. The sun comes up in the east and goes down in the west and Zach's going to ask about the Philly Kid. That's exactly right. All right. Let's get to our best bets presented by the good folks at Bet365. Our pregame picks, you know that it's never ordinary. at Bet365, sign up with the code P-H-L-Y Eagles. Must be 21 or older and physically located in Pennsylvania. If you or someone you know has a gambling problem and wants help, call our text 1-800 gambler,

whatever the moment, it's never ordinary at Bet-365. I am pounding one particular line here, fan. I know that Dallas got it is back. Yep. But the disrespect from Vegas to my man, Grand Calcutera. over under five and a half receiving yards. That's easy for Grand Cacetera. I mean, I think, I mean, this is an offense that still is going to play plenty of 12 personnel.

Jalen Hertz trusts Grant Cacetara. We saw how easy some of those play action throws to Grand Cacetara were. I'm going double here. Grant Cacetara over five and a half receiving yards and Grand Cacetra's longest reception over five and a half receiving yards. That's easy. He's had two games under. that all year. One was it where he was, he was blanked against the Saints back to week three. That I don't know. Yeah, that's, I mean, he's averaging 12, 7 a catch. You only need him to have one,

one catch and one catch. Yeah, that's, that's easy. Especially, especially, especially if you think that the Eagles win this game handily and are playing backups. You would think, all right, that means Calcutara will get a lot of time in the fourth quarter. Now, they'll probably be running the ball a lot, but still, Calcutera, that should be easy money. I know, I'm worried about this one. It seems so easy. I feel good about it, though. All right. Jamie's bets, AJ Brown, you know, tough to bet against AJ Brown. And the Sego's offense, he has over 72 and a half receiving yards and over 18 and a half completions by Jalen Hertz. So Jamie thinking that maybe this is a game in which they lean a little bit less on Sequin and a little bit more on Jalen Hertz throwing the ball.

It could also be some coping from Jamie after last week or that was the only thing he needed to hit that parlor. Yeah, if that could be he could let AJ Brown beat him twice in two straight weeks. That's right. anything around the league that has that has jumped up to you today how are your picks doing? My picks are doing okay. It's funny because I usually try not to like look I don't have any real real cheddar going on you. This is all for fun for me. So I'm not like living and dying with every snap.

But last week didn't feel great in the moment. And then I went back and looked at the wins. I was like, oh, I was still two games over 500 on the week. So from what I hear from our friends, you'll take that every week. There you go. as the commanders, according to the play-by-play, driving here potentially on the verge of field goal range as they try to get a come from behind win over the Steelers.

Steelers would cover. And I did pick the Steelers to cover in that one. Two and a half? Two and a half or three and anywhere between two and a half, three and a half, depending on the service. Yeah, I thought that I was thinking Steelers today too. Yeah. You know, we'll see how it goes.

All right. Let's get to prediction time. Fran, how do you see this game unfolding for the birds? Yeah, I think the Eagles should win this game handily. my final prediction 30 to 10 Eagles I think that they come out I actually think this game goes more so with the with the run game 10 30 to 10 I think they look this like I said earlier this Dallas team has been bad man for for the majority of this season this defense has not been good I think they are teetering right now on the verge of just like pure implosion they're getting some players back Michael Parsons back is good but you lose Dak Prescott I just might be out for the season yeah I'd be undergoing surgery yeah and you know he wasn't put on injurers yet but it certainly sounds like he might be done I just to me you see Mike McCarthy on the sidelines last week I think this is an easy win for the Eagles I like the comment from Danes who says the only cheering in the press box today will be

Zach cheering for a C. Richards that would be so offended at that oh incredible that he would ever do that I thought he was going to say Jimmy with the mac and cheese that's possible yeah Jimmy cheering for the mac of cheese is definitely in the realm of possibility it's gonna be for a grand count catarra yeah one six yard catch and then they're going to throw him a little bubble screen he's going to lose two yards it'll be awful. I just yeah. I get the one. I'll get the long one. What if Calcutara catches one for six yards but gets tackled on the star and then I get a point for Swipper. There you go. Yeah. My goal is it's not as important that I win Super this week. You know, I sucked your turkey's dry. I know what's a

strong word. It's sucked as dry. I don't know about that. Yeah. I mean when it seems too easy, my antenna is always up. Maybe this is going to be a difficult game. What is it that's going to happen? You know, we haven't seen Jilline Hart's turn the ball over in a while the past few weeks. So maybe that is the kind of thing that makes this game closer than it should be. But you do look at it and it certainly seems like the Eagles have a chance to run away with this game.

I'm going to take the Eagles. I'm going to go 31.14. Okay. All right. Not that far off from 30 to 10? No, not. But, you know, I am worried that this could go back. But I mean, this feels like,

If you are looking ahead to Washington, as like we're asking Zach about how they're already preparing for that Washington game on Thursday night, the Cowboys, you know, they get paid too. They could come up and bite you. But just in terms of like all the matchups in this game, who's healthy, where the strengths are, how bad the Cowboys' Interior defensive line is. It just feels like this should be a comfortable win for the Eagles. Judging from the chat, it looks like the Steelers got the ball. Zachert's tackled just short of fourth down. then the Washington turns it over on down. Really?

Pittsburgh looks like they're going to win. Wow. That's fantastic. All right. Well, that'll do it for the P.H.O.Y. Eagles pregame show. We will be with you at halftime, a friend of myself for a little quick check-in on how things went in the first half.

And then the post-game show, the two of us, Jamie Lynch, and Super Bowl champion, Vinie Curry, to talk about it. We'll hear from Nick Siriani. We'll hear from Zach Berman, all that good stuff. So enjoy the game, everybody. Cowboys Week. Shout out to everybody who's watching at our watchalong party at the rook and mannyunk. And we will talk to you at halftime.

Enjoy the game. As always, we love you.
