"Would you rather lose a cornerback to a foot injury or have your best player come in fresh after a mid-game spit suspension?"That’s just one of the wild questions raised in this unpredictable and hilarious episode of The Ben and Skin Show, featuring Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray.This episode dives deep into the Cowboys’ cornerback crisis, with Daron Bland’s foot injury sparking concern and speculation. Is it a dreaded Jones fracture? And what does it mean for the team’s defensive lockdown potential? The gang doesn’t hold back, especially when KT drops the unforgettable line:
“Feet, back, neck and crack — those are the ones.”

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Cowboy surprise.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
The Cowboys are in a bit of a bind at
the cornerback position because Darn Bland hurt his foot. It's
not the same foot that he hurt last year. It's
the other one, which is maybe even worse. He's in
a boot, could miss multiple weeks. Not real sure sucks.
They had a slight corner practicing today by the name
(00:39):
of Reddy Stewart, so serious.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
He got hurt at a like a walk through, basically
like he got hurt at a it's not even a
hard physical practice.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
I hope he didn't just step on some water sprinkler
at the Star.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
You know what that makes you think.
Speaker 5 (00:57):
It makes you think of that Jones fracture where it's
like structural thing in there.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
It makes you think that they just paid him, Like
if this had happened before they paid him, would they
have still paid him.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Feet concerned me, especially at that position. Feetback, neck and
crack those are the ones.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
And I don't you know, we don't really know, because
you know, the Eagles don't have a dynamic quarterback like
this in terms of passing the ball.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
Jalen Hurts didn't scare me.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
I don't know if the Cowboys corners were so good
that they just locked down Eagles receivers or Jalen Hurts
just can't throw and he's like a full back back there,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (01:35):
They we're trying to you know, we don't even need to.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Yeah, I don't really have a good handle on that,
but I think there was a chance that it was
just a straight lockdown city and now we've lost that.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
The answer on jadeveon Clounty is nah, we're good, We're good.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
He showed up. Uh huh.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
It also could have been his choice too, That's kind
of been unclear from what I could tell. But yeah,
so no on him, So no help there.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
What does it say to your current players, your edge
rushers when you bring in a guy you're like, hey,
we're not sold on the depth here, Like.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
I don't know, I legit.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Wonder if he just wanted to show up and watch
a practice that much going on?
Speaker 4 (02:15):
Do you see who he was with?
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Was he who's he with?
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Josh Brent?
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (02:20):
Yes, the coach now right, showing him around? God ahead
and heard that name in forever. And also I'm curious too,
what where did they want to play him? Did y'all
happen to hear what Jerry said over his on the
flagship station about Kenny Clark. So he said, and you know,
take Jerry for whatever it is, he said that the
highest grades the team gave out were to Kenny Clark
(02:43):
and Dak Prescott. Okay, they were both great, then if
you want to put credence in this. According to Pro
Football Focus, Clark was graded as fifty fifth out of
one hundred and ten interior defensive lineman.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Oh oh, I don't really like a Pro Football Focus anymore.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
That's fine, I mean, good stats and stuff, but well, also,
by the way, Pro Football Focus had Marshawn Kneeland and
down Evan Azeraku graded higher than Micah Parsons.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
I thought Marshaw Kneeland was the best player on defense.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
Yeah, he was great. But that was kind of my
point about the Jerry thing. I think he just went
on there and just made up that Dak and Kenny
Clark had the highest grades.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
I did see.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
I did see some other grading system that had Dak
as the second best quarterback of the week.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Great, he was wonderful and if he could do it again,
that'd be great. It's weird to like the Cowboys couldn't
always let you down, and taking week one seriously is
always a tough thing to do. Like he's always like,
let's let's give him a little bit of time and
let's see what's going on here. But the Giants are
so bad, and I've saved some stuff for tomorrow to
really talk about their incompetence. It's uh, we'll get to
(03:47):
that tomorrow. There's thing I want to say about the
Cowboys is all that I do believe Kenny Clark is
the best Devin Attackle they've had in twenty years. And
I know Jay Ratliffe might come up and then how
quickly you guys like it's it doesn't take long to go. Yeah,
I guess because.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
There's been nobody.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
You might say Tyrone Crawford, but they moved him around.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
It end.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Yeah, like Kenny Clark is and if he's healthy, that's huge,
and then they'll have a decision to make He cost
them two million dollars this year.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
He's gotta be a lot more next year if they
keep him. If you want to get real hype, go
read Micheweda's article on Kenny Clark and oc in there
in the middle. I mean it's it'll it'll fire you up.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Uh So one other thing I heard Babe Lafenberg talking
about this on the big drop that CD had, he
had four maybe three or four, but on the big
one that hit him right in the numbers, you know,
he was basically saying that it looked like CD ran
the wrong router or ceed got pushed inside it. Because
a lot of people I was wondering why there was
(04:48):
two receivers in the exact same spot.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
Colbert was there.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
The spacing was bad, but Babe was saying they were
all running goes and so if you look at it,
that would have been CD veering over into Jalen Tolbert's
space and it would have been an overthrow to Tolbert
unless Dak saw CD veering over and not running the
right route. I don't know, but it was weird. They
were both in the same spot.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
That was weird.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
But regardless that they hit him in his hands at
the twenty five yard line.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
That was crazy. We lost u Von to the Broncos
guys tough tost In piece.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Yeah, oh no, Jalen Carter. They they find him. Oh sorry,
they find Jalen Carter. The Eagles fifty seven thousand dollars.
That's a pretty hefty paycheck for the spit. I was
kind of thinking about this over time. Now I'm fine
with what happened the other night, and where you spit
(05:41):
on a guy probably matters to when he hit a
guy in the cleavage.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
You gotta do it.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Why don't we do this like two quarter suspension because
there's only seventeen games. Did it take a guy out
of a full game for just spitting? You can't be
spitting on people. But I think it'd be interesting to
go to kind of a cop college way of doing
this thing that's so fake and we will take the time.
So you spin on this dude, I gotta say, you
(06:07):
can come back with fourteen minutes and fifty five seconds
left in.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
The third quarter. No, you're out for two quarters.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
That's that's you can't do that that. First of all,
that's a fake suspension. The number two. I don't want
their best player coming in fresh in the second half.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
You know, hadn't played it down.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
But assume this happens good before you because the president
has now been set.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Spin on a guy. It's a game, Yeah, yeah, happened
to be.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
Don't spit on a guy.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
But if you spit on a guy in the third
quarter or the fourth quarter, though.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Yeah, it's just lesser penalty. Yeah, maybe you got a
suspend him for another game.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
You just got to know when to spit on somebody,
spit on them late.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
In the game so that you you know.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
It's like, if there's a there's two penalties on defense,
like one's five yard penalty, one's a fifteen yard penalty,
they should add up. That should be a twenty yard
it should be twenty yards. Or when there's like there's
just some that's an interesting rule that I think they
should at least think about. And I think the College
way of doing things is kind of fun. The guy
just kind of comes out in the third quarter, I
don't know, because he gets suspended for a bad hit
(07:02):
he had in last week's game.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
It's kind of kind of interesting.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
It is. It is interesting, all right now, it is.
It is somewhat interesting.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
You know what's interesting is there was a local beheading
story yesterday, and Kat's got all the details that's coming
your way in less than three minutes or
