We're the only ones that have the Cowboys.

I was tempted.

They, they were the ones with, one of the ones with the question mark on it.

Let's, let's, let's hear your Cowboys' top 10 prediction, I should say.

I'm not, I'm not opposed.

I just want to hear you talk about it.

I do not like being the guy on the Cowboys.

I'm used to it.

I'm not happy about this.

That makes you feel a little bit better.

Cause I, I, I, this is one of the teams I was like, I feel like they should be in my top 10, but they can only be 10 teams.

I don't know, because I was, I was looking at like what teams could make a leap like back into the top 10, like Dallas makes a lot of sense, but I'm scared, but I also did say they would win the NC title game, so I don't know.

You did say that, yeah.

I see that and I remember back then I was like disgusted by it, but now I don't.

I'm really high on this offense this year and, and, um.

Like I think the George Pickens edition, the more I've thought about it, the more, like time has gone on.

It's just so perfect for this team.

I'm really, really excited about the dimension that he's gonna be, by the way, like, I know that this is, this is, we're not obviously talking fantasy here, but I've been talking about a lot on the fantasy forecast.

I think he's like the most mispriced player in fantasy right now.

People do, are totally underestimating the impact that he's gonna have for this offense.

Um, the offensive line, like, obviously the Tyler Geiton injury is something that's on my radar, but I kind of like the idea that they've been a little more committed to not moving Tyler Smith to left tackle to like patch that hole for any time because they want that interior to be pretty badass.

And I think it will be.

Um, I wish they had like a running back that really moved the needle, but I think they can kind of compile something with either Miles Sanders or Gervonta Williams and then Jayden Blue, who I know there was like some bad headlines about Jayden Blue recently, but everything from camp is, is he's like added a nice dimension there.

So again, I wish, I do wish they ran with one yesterday, right.

And I think he's, I think he's gonna mix in there as like a pass schedule, but I think this offense is just gonna throw the hell out of the ball and like.

Two years ago, I know it was two years ago, obviously 2023, but they were sixth in success rate; they were eighth in explosive play rate, and, like, again, just picking Being dropped in the mix here really just improves the ceiling.

Of this unit, like, quite literally, like how far they can get it down the field, but also just what they can do between him and C.D.

Lamb.

I think it's just gonna make those two guys like those guys working off each other is, it really could be something special, so I, yeah, I, I hate being the high guy on the Cowboys, but I do think they're a top 10 offense this year.
