00:00As we're going right into Lamar versus Dallas in Rio,
00:04Dallas just scored 37.
00:07Can they win?
00:08Let's just say, do you think it's going to be a shootout, John,
00:11or do you think this is going to be a tough battle?
00:13Because like Cofield said, I mean, that field is a mess
00:17by all the reports coming out of there right now.
00:19If that field isn't up to the conditions that it needs to be,
00:25they shouldn't play on it.
00:28Look at what happened to Caleb Williams on a soggy field.
00:32Most of the people who evaluate those type of injuries,
00:36they say for a guy who's never really been hurt,
00:40that much running on a wet field can oftentimes lead to those types of injuries.
00:46So if you're telling me I'm the Dallas Cowboys
00:49and I'm going to put my product on that field for the outreach program
00:55of the NFL, that's going to be a no for me, buddy.
00:58Because if Dak Prescott hurts his hamstring or tears his Achilles
01:01running on a bad field, it's over for the Cowboys.
01:06And so the NFL's got to be better when it comes to these international games
01:10to making sure if nothing, the field is up to snuff.
01:15Because if the field's bad, your product's going to be bad
01:18and you're going to put your players' physical safety in danger.
01:23And so these are the type of situations where if the field is an issue,
01:27the game should be canceled or postponed.
01:30That's just my personal opinion.
01:31And they've done it before.
01:33They did it in the Mexico City game.
01:35Yeah.
01:36And that game ended up being played at the Coliseum.
01:39At the Rose Bowl, I think it was.
01:40At the Coliseum.
01:41At the Coliseum.
01:42So it has been done.
01:44And that game, because of the fires, it was perfectly timed.
01:47So unfortunately, perfectly timed, I should say.
01:51But I think that this game, if the field is able to be played upon,
01:58this is going to be a massive shootout.
02:00Because the Dallas Cowboys can't stop nobody.
02:02The Dallas Cowboys can't stop nobody, okay?
02:05We've now figured that out.
02:07It's been two weeks.
02:07They couldn't stop Jayden Daniels until he tore his arm out the socket.
02:10And then they couldn't stop Marcus Mariota, who is as good as Jameis Winston.
02:15So you do with that what you will.
02:17Lamar Jackson is better than the quarterbacks they've played.
02:20And the quarterbacks they've played, Jackson Dart and Jayden Daniels,
02:22have ran all over them.
02:24So what is Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson going to do
02:27coming off of a loss to an inferior team?
02:31I think the Ravens are going to win.
02:33That's from an offensive standpoint.
02:35I think the Cowboys have more firepower, per se, than the Ravens do.
02:42But the Cowboys can't stop anybody.
02:45They can't.
02:46So I'm looking at the Ravens.
02:49I don't feel, you know, I'm not going to pump my chest out about it.
02:52But I think it'll be the Ravens.
02:54Yeah, Dallas has allowed an NFL high 126 rushing yards to quarterbacks
02:59through two weeks.
03:02That's not a great sign when you're playing probably the fastest quarterback
03:05in the league and a guy that is so dynamic with the football
03:07in Lamar Jackson.
03:09Zay Flowers didn't practice on Wednesday because of a hamstring injury.
03:13That's something to watch, too, if they're going to air it out.
03:16He was electric in week one before he got hurt.
03:19CeeDee Lamb, 153, two scores.
03:23But Baltimore's coming off that loss to New Orleans.
03:25I'm assuming that they're going to have some juice for this game.
03:30But, again, like you said, that field in Brazil,
03:34it feels like we're having this a lot more now.
03:36Yeah.
03:38These NFL teams go overseas, and we didn't have it in the Australia game.
03:42It seemed like it was okay.
03:43But you go to all these other games.
03:45I mean, even the London game, there were some questions.
03:47The game that the Eagles played before, I think,
03:51one of the games overseas was bad.
03:53I don't know.
03:53That Chargers game was a little bit iffy.
03:56I don't know what it is.
03:57It's just facility quality, or is it just like the football feel?
04:01I'm just not really sure why this keeps happening.
04:04But we're getting it again in another international game.
04:06If you're the NFL, this is such a bad look for this report to even get out.
04:11You knew this game was happening a year and some change ahead of time
04:16because they plan these things out.
04:18So you mean to tell me, y'all couldn't have, the NFL, not the two teams,
04:22the NFL as a league, couldn't have sent their grass guy down there
04:27and monitored the situation, got somebody down there on the phone
04:30to help take care of that grass for the one game you were going to play on it?
04:34It just, it really just feels like a situation where the NFL is king,
04:39and they feel like they can do whatever they want, wherever they want.
04:43And oftentimes that's true.
04:45But again, you can't hurt the merchandise by putting it on a bad field
04:49because these muscles will tear.
04:51If we lose one of these quarterbacks because the field is bad,
04:56you'll never hear the end of it, ever.
04:59If we lose one of these quarterbacks, we'll never hear the end of it, ever.
