Chuckies Company live on 106, 7 The Fan, and the team 980 here in the DMV. 910, the fan 105.1 FM in Richmond. You can watch us on the Monumental Sports Network, and we're brought to you by CropMecalf, the official heating and cooling company of the junkies looking to be their next five-star H-BAC, technician or plumber. Just visit CropMeccaf.com to join their team. What a few people call in to talk E.B. off the ledge about this commander's cowboy's matchup. I don't know if it worked. I don't know if it worked. You're with me. Look, the reality is... I don't have a very positive outlook on the game. The reality is, offensively, they can be very challenged if they don't have both Terry McLaurin and Debo Samuel in the lineup. Right. And Noah Brown, if you want to throw him in there. We just don't have our top three receivers. It's very likely. Or maybe not very likely. I think it's probably 50-50 Debo plays. So if they're going to get a win, let's assume that they don't. That you don't have Debo, you don't have Terry. And we know Noah Brown. He's out. He's on injury reserve. Yeah, he's on injured reserve. How did they pull off a win? Who needs to step up? 1-800-636-1067. I'll offer first.

1:11.3

I mentioned this before.

1:12.7

I think he ought to lean into more Jalen Lane.

1:15.4

Like, he's shown me, shown to me at times that he, you know, I think his rep was, at least

1:23.2

what I perceived, I didn't watch Virginia Tech, you did, but his rep was he was going to

1:27.4

be more of a returner than a receiver.

1:29.6

But when he's been in, he's had key first down catches,

1:34.4

where he's shown to have pretty good hands.

1:37.9

Last week you saw the double move, and his speed is undeniable.

1:42.2

1-800-6-36-1067.

2:02.9

I like it. I love Jalen Lane. I would lean into Jalen Lane being a guy who's not just a deep threat, but over the middle. He's going to be my main guy. Mine would be the nubbier of the McCaffrey brothers. I mean, it's not his fault. He's not a silly, his brother Christian. It's just the way it works sometimes. Luke McCaffrey,

2:08.0

his role has to expand. In the last four weeks, he's had 3, 3, 2, and 1 targets.

2:12.6

If Terry McLaurin and Debo aren't playing in this game, he has to have 5 to 7 targets, maybe more. Like he needs to make a bigger impact. His role needs to expand. I would agree. I just think that Chris Moore is going to be your number one receiver if those two guys are out. Oh, I hate that. I hate that plan. But I guess that's... He's still going to be your number one. He's probably going to be targeted more than those other young guys.

2:51.8

So Chris Moore's got to catch balls they're thrown to him. And he can. He's shown that. But I just think that you've got to run the ball. You really got to run the ball. Right. And they should have a renewed emphasis on that. They're not going to be able to just move the ball at will through the air. even though Dallas's past defense isn't good.

2:51.0

They just can't move the ball at will through the air, even though Dallas's past defense isn't good. They just can't move the ball at will through the air with two rookies.

2:54.8

With those guys. The problem is that the bears give up even more on the ground than the

3:01.7

cowboys did. And the bears just put 7, 8, 9 guys, whatever the hell they did in the box and

3:06.4

forced us to beat them through the air.

3:24.8

And, you know, unfortunately, we just came up a little bit short because of turnovers and everything else. So I would assume Dallas is going to do the same thing. You would assume. I assume they're going to do the exact same thing, even though they're not very good. Unless, like Keik said, the Iber Fluse is just clueless. I mean, it's a copycat league.

3:27.4

They're going to look at it and go, well, how did they hold them?

3:25.1

Oh, okay. good unless like cake said the iber flus is just clueless i mean it's a copycat league they're going to look at it and go well how did they hold them oh okay they just forced their receivers and
