00:00 In their regular season finale, the Dallas Cowboys travel to face the Washington Commanders with a lot on the line.
00:06 The NFC East division title and the number two seed in the NFC Conference.
00:11 What do you think is the key to victory for the Cowboys in this one?
00:15 Yeah, this is really easy and Richard Sherman, who's the NFL star, retired, who's done it all,
00:20 including, he's a very bright guy, went to Stanford, won Super Bowls and everything, made the insane comment of the week
00:28 by suggesting that the Cowboys should rest players at Washington.
00:32 Because if you can't beat them with your backups, you don't deserve to go to the play-
00:35 What?
00:36 Just win.
00:37 We just got done watching the Eagles lose to Arizona and in the month of December,
00:43 we've seen a lot of good teams lose to bad teams.
00:46 So all the good teams that ever lost to a bad teams don't deserve to make the playoffs. If that was the case, nobody makes
00:51 the playoffs. The Cowboys, the simplest key here is you pour every resource you have
00:57 into this game, this week, this time. That's Tyler Smith with a
01:01 torn foot. If you can play, you play.
01:05 That's Jonathan.
01:05 Because the difference is hosting in the playoffs, which is a huge deal if you're perfect at home like the Cowboys.
01:10 For any team, yeah, being at home in the playoffs is good. For this team,
01:14 they've won 16 in a row at home and if they get the number two seed, as they are scheduled to do,
01:19 because they're favored by 13 and a half over Washington,
01:22 they'll have their first, as long as they win, two games at home. And if somebody along the way upsets the 49ers,
01:28 they'll have three games at home. They are, as they sit right now,
01:33 a favorite, one of the two favorites, to go to the NFC Championship game.
01:36 Why would you even risk forfeiting that by saying, "Oh, Jonathan Hankins, you can play. Ah, we don't need you.
01:43 Tyron Smith, you can play. Ah, we're good without you."
01:47 Why don't you go right on down the line? Because playing Dak Prescott, Micah Parsons, and C.D. Lamb and Zach Martin come with risks,
01:53 because it's football.
01:54 This is like saying, going into the World Series and saying, "I've got a really good pitcher. He's our ace.
01:59 I'm gonna save him for this, for game seven."
02:02 But if you never get to game seven, now, pour every resource you have into this thing. And over the course of this week,
02:08 we're gonna see Jonathan Hankins trying to practice.
02:11 We're, at the end of the week, gonna see if the Cowboys can have Tyler Smith
02:15 do something more than just limp around. And of course, the Cowboys are chasing other roster members as we speak,
02:21 and that's all about pouring resources into trying to win, too.
02:24 Yep. As Mike McCarthy says, "Expect the unexpected when it comes to Ron Rivera's
02:28 commenters."
