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.
