here is
we won't be putting him on our,
which means that
we want him to be
consideration
for playing within the next four games.
We will not put him on our,
we feel very good after surgery after listening to the medical
people
that doc has a real chance to be back out there throwing
the ball pretty quick. If we thought he wasn't going to be
ready to go for
four. Games have till after four games, we would put him on
our, we're not doing that. We think he can come in and play
so we don't want to
not have him out there. Practicing, we want him
getting prepared and we'll see how he
handles us saying, how
yields mainly how he can his strength, I can grip the ball,
what his status is.
That's Jerry Jones again, Chris, sorry, I went didn't
make it, no good players. I could have that I was thrown to
the South but yep, not putting them on. IR is Big because you
carry on the roster then
and that's one fewer spot that you have on your 53-man roster
for anyone else like say a quarterback.
Dak was the only quarterback on the active roster. They brought
Cooper Rush up from the practice squad as part of
the elevation thing that you can do
and they're going to need. I would think two
quarterbacks on the active roster or
On and a guy from the practice squad that you bring up
but they're going to get through it.
And and he may be back,
if they knew, he definitely was missing for weeks, they would
put him on IR. So they're going to try to get him back within
four weeks, which is great news
for the Cowboys because it means that that the season
isn't automatically over, but to your point,
Are they bringing him back too early?
This is one where I do have a little concern there. I do. I'm
not, I'm not gonna lie, just because it's Dallas and it's
Jerry, and it's the Panic is already starting. And,
you know, Jerry runs the team and
probably said something in his own slick way to
Dak, you know, I think you could get back early. I mean,
you know, I know enough stories about Jerry, that's the way he
can be, can be very convincing to no matter who it is anybody?
So that's where this is
I'm going to put it under the classification of. I got to see
it to believe it. I gotta see it to believe it. That's
hopeful surgery thumb,
man. I mean, I just I
four weeks. Wow.
I would be shocked to see it. This one does feel to me. Like,
whoa, we didn't look good. Whoa, we're desperate to have
you back. Whoa, can you do anything to get back earlier?
What's that surgeon? You said it was a good surgery. Oh,
okay. And then Dax a competitor and wants to be back.
Back and says the right things. Again I know this is all
speculative but I don't know. Just seems a little fishy to me
like I said, I got to see it to believe it on this one.
Yeah, I agree with you and I think they're targeting
the game at the Rams week 5 1 week before a trip to Philadelphia
on Sunday Night, Football on NBC in peacock. So
we'll just, we'll just see
because there's a big drop off from Dak Prescott to Cooper
Russian. As I said yesterday, you got to ask yourself. What
percent Dak Prescott is better than 100% Cooper Rush.
You talk about a plate and a pin
and
I
I would say give the guy more time, the problem is no one in
that cocoon is going to be saying, let's take more time.
The player wants to play
the team wants him to play.
And chances are going to see him back on the field.
We're going to wonder why he's not playing as well. We'll know
why just like Russell Wilson last year, after he rushed back
from that finger that got mangled when he jammed it into
Aaron Donald's arm,
He wasn't the same guy. No, it was not before he should have
right. Come back, right? No, you're right that. That would
be the big thing is. Yeah, even if he does get back and
a timely manner, he just go.
Okay, is it going to be good? I mean is he going to be able to
hit an open receiver down the field? Is he going to have
control of the football
as we discussed on yesterday a little bit? The thumb,
the thumb is the most important thing GE as far as throwing
the football. As I'm concerned you can't really control it or grip
it or
make any awkward throw.
If your thumb doesn't have
Good grip on there. So
you know, that's where
it's going to be interesting as we go and I'll be interested to
see how quickly he heals from this and his back on
the practice field,
we may need a ruling from the back room on this.
The thumb is the most important finger maybe a Sims is MM
because the thumb is not a finger.
Thumb is in its right handed, right? I got you right. Yes,
I think I forgot. I don't know that counts. I don't think it
does. I think you're getting technical on me there, you
know, you know, I think most people in the world.
Okay. Hey you got 10 fingers on your hand like they don't go.
All you got your fingers and to appendages like they don't do
that. So don't get too technical lawyer guy over there
but it is it is the opposable thumb.
The opposable thumb is the thing that has allowed us
to climb to the top of the food chain but for the opposable
thumb. Wow we would be foraging we would be running from wild
animals that were trying to eat us
so thank you.
Thank you. Opposable thumb, odenza. And what, with all
the animals in the animal kingdom? Man, would they do? They wish
we didn't have thumbs. Holy crap, that about
the world would probably be a better place. I probably would
be, I was gonna say that too. Without the thumb, we might be
in a better place altogether.
Well, and who did I?
I wish I could remember who who who I heard say this about how?
I think it may have been an old George Carlin bit. This is how
long it's been around. You'll appreciate this. And we Got
some time Captain Planet that that how
humans are destroying the earth.
The earth will be fine.
The Earth isn't what's going to be destroyed? Write this
equation. It's good. Yeah,
the ER no we can't be here. Yeah.
The earth. The earth knows how to do the old control-alt-delete
when your computer wasn't working, right? And the
the Earth will persevere. That's, that's not the problem. It's
not save the planet,
it's
saved the people who Currently think they're in control of it
even though they're not. Let's go ahead and take a break, some
Feats of Strength.
