Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. Cowboys. This He's Talking Cowboys,
Speaker 1: screaming live from the Dallas Cowboys World Hours at the
Speaker 1: Star in Frisco. Elliot flowing to the Scott and now
Speaker 1: your hosts, Isaiah stand Back, Patrick Walker and Kyle Yeoman's.
Speaker 1: In a week that included the largest comeback in NFL history,
Speaker 1: a lateral attempt returned for a walk off touchdown, and
Speaker 1: the worst team in the league pushing an odds on
Speaker 1: Super Bowl favorite into overtime. Somehow, the most significant loss
Speaker 1: of the weekend belonged to the Dallas Cowboys forty to
Speaker 1: thirty four in overtime against the Jacksonville Jaguars. And we
Speaker 1: are here to break it down on Talking Cowboys, presented
Speaker 1: by Black Rifle Coffee Company from the SWBC studios at
Speaker 1: the Star in Frisco. Cowboys Nation not very happy with
Speaker 1: what happened on Sunday afternoon in Florida, but we are
Speaker 1: here to talk it through with you here over the
Speaker 1: next forty five minutes. Patrick Nose Walker, Isaiah Standback, Kyle Yeoman's.
Speaker 1: Glad you're with us, gentlemen. How are we doing. We're doing.
Speaker 1: We're doing right. We're doing keep Monday. It is keeping
Speaker 1: real Monday Monday. It's easier to do that whenever you
Speaker 1: have a game like this, leading by seventeen points, three scores,
Speaker 1: and you lose to a lesser team, or at least
Speaker 1: a team that on paper is lesser because yesterday they weren't. Okay,
Speaker 1: they were on top, he said all week. Yeah, a
Speaker 1: whole week, it's gonna be. This Jaguoys team was not
Speaker 1: one to fool the round. We said that, Yes, the Cowboys.
Speaker 1: As we sit here and have this conversation, the Cowboys
Speaker 1: are still the better team. But we said, yeah, wars,
Speaker 1: not the Texans. They're not the Coats. They have horses
Speaker 1: on offense. They can put up points. You make the
Speaker 1: mistakes and give them out of possessions, they will take
Speaker 1: advantage of it. So forth and so on. As now
Speaker 1: as we sit here, we're talking about the defense in
Speaker 1: the Cowboys that just allowed over five hundred yards of
Speaker 1: offense thirty four points. I mean they had forty, but
Speaker 1: you know that was the walk off pick six, So
Speaker 1: that was a defensive touchdown that got them to the
Speaker 1: forty burger. But thirty four points allowed by this Cowboys
Speaker 1: off defense. Again, Trevor Lawrence, what we talk about, Isaiah
Speaker 1: cow once you get home, because you will get home
Speaker 1: once you get home. Bring him down, finish him. I
Speaker 1: said that he would escape a few. He'd escaped a few.
Speaker 1: To my counter, it was three sacks that he escaped.
Speaker 1: There you go. The Cowboys could have had more than
Speaker 1: one sack. They did get me my fumble when I
Speaker 1: said it with my chests. They got me my interception
Speaker 1: when I said it with my chest. But they lost
Speaker 1: the turnover margin and they should not have. Dak Prescott
Speaker 1: throws that interception. Hit the first one can't happen. He
Speaker 1: knows it. It can't happen. Take the sack, go down whatever,
Speaker 1: Live to fight another day. But lobbing that, I mean
Speaker 1: the target with Sholton, he just flew right over his
Speaker 1: head into the defensive backs hands. Mistakes like that, self inflicted,
Speaker 1: self inflicted? Self inflicted isam listen man. Again. The game
Speaker 1: plan was executed. The Dallas Cowboys game plan offensively was executed.
Speaker 1: The thirty four we talked about Sydy scored thirty four.
Speaker 1: They did it. We talked about Dallas cheap in Dak
Speaker 1: Prescott to thirty or under throws. He had thirty throws
Speaker 1: when he has seventy in completions. The bad part is
Speaker 1: two of those seven incompletions actually were completions to the
Speaker 1: other team. That's what hurts you defensively. We talked about
Speaker 1: the absence of Jonathan Hankins and who can do what
Speaker 1: he does. Nobody does what he does almost another two
Speaker 1: hundred yards on the ground for our team. You also lost.
Speaker 1: You lost l that. We're wondering what the value was. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you saw it. So we talked about that and the
Speaker 1: potential of that compromising you. We also talked about the
Speaker 1: absence now of a Jordan Lewis and Anthony Brown and
Speaker 1: what does that present. Now you're forcing young players into
Speaker 1: positions and roles that they haven't been in, and we
Speaker 1: also said, hey, this might be a great time to
Speaker 1: do it. However, this team has more personnel and they're better.
Speaker 1: We said this earlier in the week. They're better at
Speaker 1: receiver than we are at dB right now, and you
Speaker 1: saw that on display. So if you guys haven't been
Speaker 1: listening to Talking Cowboys, y'all probably should you too ahead
Speaker 1: and put that as a reminder. Yeah, go ahead and
Speaker 1: put it as a little ring the bell, Ring the
Speaker 1: bell on YouTube and make sure that you guys get it,
Speaker 1: put it on Twitter, because we previewed this now. We
Speaker 1: all chose Dallas because we feel like Dallas should have
Speaker 1: won this game. But we also told you that they
Speaker 1: were not in a position to turn the ball over
Speaker 1: like they did before. And unfortunately, back to back weeks
Speaker 1: now against these AFC South teams DAK, the Dallas Cowboys
Speaker 1: have turned the ball over on their side of the ball,
Speaker 1: on our side of the field in a very very
Speaker 1: important portion of the game. Unlike the Texans they were
Speaker 1: they capitalize on it. Versus Texans went the wrong direction
Speaker 1: on the handoff, the dog on Jaguars came back and
Speaker 1: scored a touchdown. Yeah, I can't afford to do it.
Speaker 1: We said it, it happened, less and learn you're still
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. Yeah, yeah, Cowboys do make the playoffs.
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody really wants to talk about that
Speaker 1: one at all. What was that we got to though?
Speaker 1: I mean you got to talk about both sides of
Speaker 1: the coin because as yea and a week like this, Yeah,
Speaker 1: because because again, even if you would feeling get the
Speaker 1: same spot. I get the feelings of it. But yeah,
Speaker 1: but you you you were trying to make the playoffs
Speaker 1: regardless with ten wins, and you were already on your way.
Speaker 1: I hear you, but I still you accomplished the feet
Speaker 1: of getting in to the second season, which is, you
Speaker 1: know what, everybody, you're in the tournament. You're in the tournament.
Speaker 1: Make it happen. You I'm not I'm not excited about
Speaker 1: what's coming in the tournament. You know, last night, that's
Speaker 1: a different conversation. Now last night I said different. Ready,
Speaker 1: they're not ready. But guess what these are hard lessons.
Speaker 1: These are hard lessons, and what you're finding out about
Speaker 1: your team is that you're inconsistent. So now as coach McCarthy,
Speaker 1: as a resident coach coaching staff, you have to figure out,
Speaker 1: how can I make this team consistent. Whether it's whether
Speaker 1: it's overconfidence, whether it's it's reading the dog on cliff notes,
Speaker 1: whether it's you're feeling yourself a little bit too much.
Speaker 1: Maybe you're not watching enough film, Maybe you're not thinking
Speaker 1: about your assignment enough right and playing your position instead
Speaker 1: of trying to do too much. Maybe I don't know.
Speaker 1: Whatever it is, you have to put your finger on
Speaker 1: it and figure it out, because it doesn't get easier.
Speaker 1: You're about to face another freaking, ridiculously tough team in
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles. We know what that's about. Okay, all right,
Speaker 1: biggest game of the year to date. And then you
Speaker 1: gotta go out there and face at Tennessee Titans, which
Speaker 1: we know they boys are bloody your nose. Okay, you're
Speaker 1: gonna get beat up and they've been beat up later. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're desperate, you're gonna be Yeah, they have to win,
Speaker 1: so you're gonna you're gonna get everything that they have.
Speaker 1: And then you're gonna play a play against washing the
Speaker 1: Commanders that will have a Chase Young. So get your
Speaker 1: mind right going into the playoffs because you're gonna get
Speaker 1: punched into the dog our mouth over these next three weeks.
Speaker 1: Bottom line is two things are true. One, congratulations to
Speaker 1: the Cowboys for making the playoffs for a second consecutive year.
Speaker 1: Those ten wins matter, They matter, they matter, they matter,
Speaker 1: especially being that four of them occurred with the backup quarterback.
Speaker 1: This is a team that should have this season could
Speaker 1: have been over effective, you know, early October. Okay, so
Speaker 1: that's why I'm saying, clinching yesterday, regardless of how it happened,
Speaker 1: it matters. Yeah, But what also matters and is also true,
Speaker 1: is that the matter in which they clinched is not
Speaker 1: how it should have happened. If you're concerned about this
Speaker 1: particular team you saw yesterday going into the playoffs, you're
Speaker 1: rightful in doing so, and that warrants a discussion that
Speaker 1: should be had. So all of that is true, is
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I'm sure. Yeah, it's not a situation
Speaker 1: where okay, well yesterday sucked and yesterday did suck. Listen
Speaker 1: fellas true story. This morning, as I'm getting dressed, getting
Speaker 1: ready to head out the door, I stepped on a nail. Barefoot.
Speaker 1: Oh no, home alone, Yes, barefoot. It took twenty minutes
Speaker 1: for me to stop the bleeding, only for me to
Speaker 1: then see that there was blood on my carpet, on
Speaker 1: my bathroom floor, white dress shirts that were sitting over there,
Speaker 1: et cetera, et cetera, and that made me less angry
Speaker 1: then watching the Cowboys losing seventeen point lead in Jacksonville. Yar.
Speaker 1: So yeah, So I say that to say I get it.
Speaker 1: Ladies in general, patricks liked, well, get after them because
Speaker 1: they shouldn't have lost this game. But again, this has
Speaker 1: to be another another lesson learned in that for me,
Speaker 1: I thought about this on the on the plane ride home.
Speaker 1: I thought about it on my drive to my front door.
Speaker 1: More and more. The only team, especially when you see
Speaker 1: the Texans have the halftime lead against the Chiefs and
Speaker 1: Eagles struggling with the Bears, the only team that can
Speaker 1: beat this Cowboys team is this Cowboys team. And that's frustrating,
Speaker 1: infuriating even However, just get in, clean this up and
Speaker 1: let's see what happens. But big game of the season
Speaker 1: moving up in five days from this conversation, Yeah, coming
Speaker 1: up on Saturday. It's a little less big because now
Speaker 1: your your chances for an NFC title hope is pretty
Speaker 1: much diminished. However, you can avoid the Eagles wrapping up
Speaker 1: the NFC title championship on your home turf because if
Speaker 1: the Eagles win, they win, they win the division on Saturday,
Speaker 1: and they will absolutely celebrate it on your playoff football.
Speaker 1: This one right here, this is your preview to playoff football.
Speaker 1: If if you're worried, if you're if you're questioning, or
Speaker 1: if you never experienced playoff football before. What you're about
Speaker 1: to experience this Saturday will be playoff football atmosphere, the environment,
Speaker 1: the intensity, the emphasis on each individual play, and how
Speaker 1: the importance of it. You were going to feel this,
Speaker 1: I don't care. What's at stake, the dog on Pride's
Speaker 1: at stake. And then Dallas Cowboys versus Philadelphia Eagles will
Speaker 1: be the biggest game of the year, not only for Dallas,
Speaker 1: not only for Philly, but also in the NFL. It
Speaker 1: is about to go down like two flat tires. And
Speaker 1: they better get their mind right and they better plug
Speaker 1: these dog on holes. They better figure out what they're
Speaker 1: gonna do a linebacker. They better figure out a big
Speaker 1: boy that they just brought in could play, could replace
Speaker 1: Jonathan Hankins. They better figure out how to stop that
Speaker 1: dog on bleeding at the run. Michael Parsons and this
Speaker 1: defensive line, this front seven better figure out how to
Speaker 1: get home and get pressure on somebody when they're sitting
Speaker 1: up there running RPO at you all day long. We
Speaker 1: talked about Philadelphia showing the blueprint for that earlier in
Speaker 1: the season when they beat Dallas. Okay, and they wouldn't
Speaker 1: have it, and they stopped his feet in saying he
Speaker 1: was in quick saying because he didn't know where direction
Speaker 1: to go. The missdirection was all over the plays, the
Speaker 1: RPO was all over the place. There was no pass rush.
Speaker 1: Lovey Smith watched that film. What did he do last week?
Speaker 1: He figured out a way to incorporate that into what
Speaker 1: they were doing. Had people running all over the dog
Speaker 1: on field. What happened to the defensive pressure? Slim to
Speaker 1: Nune Right, he didn't get any sacks last week. Now,
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you have a Doug Peterson who
Speaker 1: comes in. He does the same exact freaking thing. Guys
Speaker 1: running all over the place. Right, You get a little
Speaker 1: bit of pressure on Trevor Lawrence, but you don't bring
Speaker 1: him down like we talked about. He's a big fellok.
Speaker 1: You gotta bring this dude down. And what does he do?
Speaker 1: Go out there, he has time to deliver the ball.
Speaker 1: He freaking torches you Tostino style. Okay, he finds your
Speaker 1: weak spots in your hole and he took advantage of it.
Speaker 1: The blueprint was set. Now all of a sudden, you
Speaker 1: know what the blueprint is. You know where your weaknesses are.
Speaker 1: Are you going to address those or not because if
Speaker 1: you don't dog on Philadelphi, Ego's gonna come and swoop
Speaker 1: and pick you about the dog on water. And that's
Speaker 1: part of what's frustrating about this game specifically, is that
Speaker 1: it felt like a carryover from Houston, except the opposite.
Speaker 1: Houston was a slow start. It was Houston, it was Houston,
Speaker 1: but this was a slow finish. This exactly what it was,
Speaker 1: start and a slow finish. We weren't surprised by the
Speaker 1: result of the score and how the game played out.
Speaker 1: I think what we were surprised about is that Dallas
Speaker 1: didn't finish. They had a chance to finish on multiple occasions.
Speaker 1: I mean I wrote it down, by the way, I
Speaker 1: wrote four notes or four pages of notes on this
Speaker 1: game compared to the normal two that I do on
Speaker 1: film study. And it's not double space. It's all single
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't even take space. Show everybody right here.
Speaker 1: That's that's two of the four pages I took on
Speaker 1: this game. You can even look at it, screenshot at
Speaker 1: look at my notes. I don't care. You're gonna write
Speaker 1: my book, So I don't know if I can write
Speaker 1: a book. I will. I do want to write a book.
Speaker 1: One day uh. Here's the summary of what I put.
Speaker 1: Misdirection and complex play calling led to the defense guessing
Speaker 1: and confusion upfront. Boom. There was a ton of misdirection.
Speaker 1: They did a lot in the first half and they
Speaker 1: led to open holes. In the second half, they took
Speaker 1: advantage and also on the defense in the back half
Speaker 1: of the game. Plenty of chances late to to to
Speaker 1: ice the game, but came up short. Talk about j
Speaker 1: Ron Curse pulling Evan Ingram to the ground and bounce
Speaker 1: clock runs. You have to use your final time out.
Speaker 1: You don't have the full field at that point, with
Speaker 1: eleven seconds left, you got to take a shot at
Speaker 1: the end zone because if you get it complete in
Speaker 1: the middle of the field or maybe to the sideline,
Speaker 1: you gotta hurry up and get a field goal unit
Speaker 1: out there for Jacksonville. Makes things exponentially tougher. Talk about
Speaker 1: a near sack in the middle of the game as well,
Speaker 1: Armstrong had his hands around Trevor Lawrence dumped it off
Speaker 1: to us his tailback. That would have been huge for
Speaker 1: clock management, absolutely huge. And then of course the offense
Speaker 1: trying to just get a first down instead of running
Speaker 1: three vertical routes on a third down and ten mccock
Speaker 1: fifteen twenty yards down the field for everybody stopping the clock,
Speaker 1: and then there's a time out left over. There's so
Speaker 1: many ways they could have closed this game, but they didn't.
Speaker 1: They did so against Houston. They found a way against Houston.
Speaker 1: Today they found a way to lose it. Or it's Sunday.
Speaker 1: They found a way to lose it against Jacksonville. I
Speaker 1: said it last week, Houston lost the game. Now, sure,
Speaker 1: I don't believe Dallas won last week. I think that
Speaker 1: I don't disagree with I think any other team would
Speaker 1: have beat Dallas last week because, yeah, Dak do a
Speaker 1: pick againside of ten. They got the ball inside the five,
Speaker 1: the quarterback went the wrong direction on a handoff, which, okay,
Speaker 1: that would have put him up by ten. The game
Speaker 1: would have been out of hand any other team. So
Speaker 1: this is really in my eyes, this is back to
Speaker 1: back losses. I don't care what the record says. I
Speaker 1: don't go where people have to say about it. And
Speaker 1: that kind of adds to what I was talking about.
Speaker 1: That's where the frustration comes from. Because you were talking
Speaker 1: about the wake up calling, the lessons and these are
Speaker 1: hard lessons to be learned. I completely agree with you.
Speaker 1: We thought they learned it against Houston and they didn't
Speaker 1: green Bay go back. Yeah, we thought they learned it
Speaker 1: from in Green Bay and then that Houston served as
Speaker 1: a reminder. Great not not the case so much. And
Speaker 1: again to your point, this game played out for the
Speaker 1: most part how we saw it would. We knew Jacksonville
Speaker 1: head horses. We knew that this was going to be
Speaker 1: a close game. I know. My prediction was thirty four
Speaker 1: twenty seven, thirty four thirty for me, and thirty five
Speaker 1: thirty one. It was all right there and then here here,
Speaker 1: here they are thirty four thirty one, and I say
Speaker 1: to myself, I said, okay, self, I think this is
Speaker 1: where the Cowboys. This is where the Cowboys closed this game.
Speaker 1: Out's where it's done. This is where it's done. And
Speaker 1: Trevor escapes the sell so, I said self. Trevor escapes,
Speaker 1: the sack rolls out to the left. My heart drops.
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh crap. And then jay Rod Kurr steps
Speaker 1: up forces the fumble, fumble is recovered. Here it was done.
Speaker 1: And then I said to myself self, I told you
Speaker 1: this is where it ends. And then the next offensive
Speaker 1: sequence happened, which includes the third and ten that we're
Speaker 1: talking about, the deep run. Talk about the lack of
Speaker 1: talk about the lack of four minute offense. Okay, the
Speaker 1: lack of four minute offense. First first play after the
Speaker 1: fumble was the same play that they ran earlier in
Speaker 1: the game that didn't work. It was where they pulled
Speaker 1: Zack Martin. They pulled Tyrant Smith to the left and
Speaker 1: I expected Ezekiel Elliott to outrace ninety one coming off
Speaker 1: the edge. Guess what didn't happen. Zeke didn't get to
Speaker 1: the edge because it got muddied up in front of him,
Speaker 1: and ninety one caught him from behind, tackle for loss.
Speaker 1: Second play, hinder shot misses a block on the edge
Speaker 1: that would have gotten Pollard to the outside. He just
Speaker 1: whipped on him. It was a tackle or I think
Speaker 1: Pollard cut up field. He got a couple yards out
Speaker 1: of it and made it interesting. No, uh, straight vertical
Speaker 1: Jake Ferguson was missed yesterday too, by the way, straight vertical.
Speaker 1: On third play following the humble, nothing underneath playing to
Speaker 1: the sticks and I legitimately put really question mark nothing
Speaker 1: to the sticks on a third down and seven to
Speaker 1: try and get a first down and keep keep the
Speaker 1: clock moving. Was a sequence said he was going for
Speaker 1: the kill shot, which is fine, let's do it eleven
Speaker 1: yards down the field, not thirty one. I'm just telling
Speaker 1: Beamer what happens when you go for the kill shot
Speaker 1: and call the dudio shot. You better hit you better
Speaker 1: hit it, You better hit it, or or what happens Beamer?
Speaker 1: The rest of the squad comes over and wipes you.
Speaker 1: You better make it. And I saw a clipped the
Speaker 1: other day on inches Gram somebody said, we just faced
Speaker 1: still team six. I call it now. I don't want
Speaker 1: to get off the Sundays, so I just made me
Speaker 1: think about it. But it was ultimately after the defense.
Speaker 1: And again I can't get over the thought that this
Speaker 1: is a team that beats itself. There's I haven't seen
Speaker 1: a team in the league if the Cowboys are running
Speaker 1: on all cylinders that can beat that version of the Cowboys.
Speaker 1: But the version that we see in these losses or
Speaker 1: these very close wins, are versions of the Cowboys that
Speaker 1: find ways to lose or almost lose the game. And
Speaker 1: that's what they have to figure out. Consistency. Consistency consistency
Speaker 1: going into the playoffs, in more specifically this game coming
Speaker 1: up before you go into the playoffs. But it was
Speaker 1: the defense. You gotta figure out what's going on opposite
Speaker 1: Trevon Diggson. Outside of Duran Bland. You saw Kelvin Joseph
Speaker 1: give up the big, big play to Zay Jones and
Speaker 1: then get put in the blender by Marvin Jones. Touchdown.
Speaker 1: All right, you have the double move, stole some ankles. Okay,
Speaker 1: Eventually it was Nashan right that winning the game. But
Speaker 1: you claimed Trayvon Mullen last week, McKinsey, Alexander the week before.
Speaker 1: Kendall Sheffield is on the practice squad this week. You're
Speaker 1: gonna have to it's an open competition, and it's open competition.
Speaker 1: Understand that you wanted Kelvin Joseph to be the front
Speaker 1: runner of that position to replace Anthony Brown because former
Speaker 1: second round pick. I get it, I get it, I
Speaker 1: get it. But no, from a GM standpoint, I get it.
Speaker 1: You want to give the kid the shot, Nope, I'm
Speaker 1: fine with But they gave him the shot and then
Speaker 1: they ripped it away from him. Right Na Sean Wright
Speaker 1: was was the corner at the end of the game,
Speaker 1: they took Joseph out of the game, no disrespect to
Speaker 1: any player on his team. Okay, this is an all
Speaker 1: opinion basis is my opinion. I sat here with y'all. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, No, see wasn't here yet, but it sounds
Speaker 1: like you're referencing, you know, this is this this all season, right, okay?
Speaker 1: And I said, when Nick Kelvin Joseph's situation presented itself,
Speaker 1: that was Dallas's opportunity to walk away, because it was
Speaker 1: it was he is not a contributor on the defensive
Speaker 1: side of the ball, and you drafted him to be
Speaker 1: drafted him to be a starter second round pick. So again, yeah,
Speaker 1: they're continually giving chances to somebody who at this point
Speaker 1: in time in their career is not capable of making contributions.
Speaker 1: And I agree with that. And I don't want anyone
Speaker 1: listening or watching this after the live or after the
Speaker 1: fact to think that NOC is saying it is defending.
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm saying he has ability. I'm also saying
Speaker 1: he hasn't shown the ability. And I'm also saying I
Speaker 1: had my pre draft question marks on if he would
Speaker 1: be with the Cowboys wanted him to be. It's not
Speaker 1: working out that way. It's not working out in their
Speaker 1: favorite It's unfortunately working out the way I thought it would.
Speaker 1: But I'm saying I understand why they gave him the front,
Speaker 1: the front running position for this. Now. What I saw
Speaker 1: in them putting Nashun right in after those two touchdowns
Speaker 1: is that Mike McCarthy and Dan quinn basically said, Okay,
Speaker 1: saw it, saw enough of it. We're done here. Open competition,
Speaker 1: and that's what I'm interested to see this week going
Speaker 1: into the Eagles game. But defense, Kelvin Joseph in the secondary,
Speaker 1: not Treyvon Diggs, not Deron Blad, but some of the
Speaker 1: other guys. The run defense, you lose LV. And we
Speaker 1: have pounded the table weekly on this program and said
Speaker 1: the value of Lve this season is insane. He's playing
Speaker 1: out of his mind. That also goes to helping show
Speaker 1: up the run defense. LV goes down with the Nick injury,
Speaker 1: doesn't return in Travis atn He his speed became such
Speaker 1: a problem for Anthony Barr, it became a problem. Damon
Speaker 1: Clark is ramping up quickly, but he can't do it all.
Speaker 1: He needs that complimentary guy, right now and Barr couldn't
Speaker 1: handle the speed of at N whereas LV could but
Speaker 1: no LV, no LV, so forth and so on. The
Speaker 1: defense gave up the cheeks on several plays, but then
Speaker 1: they locked it down. But then they locked it down,
Speaker 1: and then it was the offense that in the end
Speaker 1: couldn't get it done. They the lack of a four
Speaker 1: minute offense in the regulating in a regulation and then
Speaker 1: in overtime, and then in overtime the throw to Noah Brown,
Speaker 1: which that interception was not on deck the way I
Speaker 1: said earlier he put it. I don't think it was
Speaker 1: a great play call. I think it was again put
Speaker 1: it right where he needed to lowing away. Receiver has
Speaker 1: to come up with that ball and worst case not
Speaker 1: tipping into the air and make it interceptible. Just real
Speaker 1: quick prayers up for vander Ish. I'm not sure what
Speaker 1: the report is hoping on him, but I can imagine
Speaker 1: his mindset right now as we're talking about mental health.
Speaker 1: I can only imagine the frustration and the stress that
Speaker 1: he has on himself right now, not even from external
Speaker 1: but just from himself. Being that you previously had a
Speaker 1: neck injury that could have put you out of your career,
Speaker 1: but it ended your career. And now all of a
Speaker 1: sudden you're put out of a game because of a
Speaker 1: neck injury. Don't know if they're related, don't know at all,
Speaker 1: But the neck is not that dug. I'm big, okay.
Speaker 1: I pray that he's okay, because anything from the shoulders up,
Speaker 1: you gotta be concerned about somebody's career. Yep, not a game,
Speaker 1: a career. His neck is pretty big. But if saying yeah,
Speaker 1: but that's the thing though about Lvee. This is a
Speaker 1: guy who came back last year, just needed to be
Speaker 1: healthy in a contract year, just wanted to be healthy,
Speaker 1: be on the field, contribute. He did that. He stayed
Speaker 1: healthy all the way through all seventeen games into the
Speaker 1: playoffs and he was healthy. Came back this year, bet
Speaker 1: on himself again. Yep, one year deal, Yah did bet
Speaker 1: on himself, did not pick up the fifth option. He
Speaker 1: signed a one year deal for cheaper money than he
Speaker 1: probably could have gotten elsewhere, to bet on himself to
Speaker 1: try and stick around and be a top notch linebacker.
Speaker 1: Guess what his play spoke for itself. He played exceptionally
Speaker 1: well all the way through this season. Like you said,
Speaker 1: we're big LV stands on this show. But we're also
Speaker 1: critics in the past when he hasn't played well. I
Speaker 1: know you and I have gotten onto LV in the past.
Speaker 1: This year, you can't do that because he played. He
Speaker 1: was one of the best players on that line, on
Speaker 1: that second line, on that defense. Give him a chance,
Speaker 1: no doubt. I gave him a chance. The reason why
Speaker 1: he hadn't been him and Jalen in the past is
Speaker 1: because they didn't have guys up front. Nope. Right now,
Speaker 1: that's the strength of your team, yeah, your team. He
Speaker 1: was over one hundred. That's your side of the ball,
Speaker 1: your team. Yeah, right, So now that he has guys
Speaker 1: in front, and we talked about if you put guys
Speaker 1: in front of linebackers that can play. Now linebackers can play. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and that's exactly what he was doing this year. So
Speaker 1: prayers up to him. I hope that the that the
Speaker 1: diagnosis for hoping the best for Vent deserves to be
Speaker 1: healthy and successful. And when you hear Nick on VEE,
Speaker 1: obviously you're gonna, you know, go to worst case scenario mentally.
Speaker 1: But we'll have more on him in the next day. So, yeah,
Speaker 1: we'll check up on him, and they keep asking what
Speaker 1: Jabril Cox is here? He comes. Yeah, if Lvie can't go,
Speaker 1: he'll be there. You're about to see him. Yep. We'll
Speaker 1: see how that works out as well, because it was
Speaker 1: it was rough at the second level. It was rough
Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the football as well. We'll
Speaker 1: talk about it when we come back with more talking cowboys.

Speaker 1: to thirty nine loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. I want
Speaker 1: to talk defense here in this segment, then we'll hit
Speaker 1: the offense. I said this yesterday on the postgame show,
Speaker 1: just how you have complete team wins in football? And
Speaker 1: the Cowboys have had a couple this year, complete team wins.
Speaker 1: Minnesota is one of them that really sticks out. I
Speaker 1: thought Detroit, the way that they rebounded together was one
Speaker 1: of those games. Yeah, this was a complete team loss.
Speaker 1: All three phases weren't great in this football game. They
Speaker 1: really weren't. It was a complete team loss. But I
Speaker 1: went back and looked at it, and I went into
Speaker 1: it knowing I wanted to try and point the finger
Speaker 1: at least at one side or the other, and I
Speaker 1: expected to point the finger at the offense. I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna going into the film study. I think this was
Speaker 1: more on the defense, the way that they played. There
Speaker 1: were holes in the entire first half though that the
Speaker 1: seven points on the board. There wasn't a whole lot
Speaker 1: going on there, But you go back and you look
Speaker 1: at it, there were holes. Jacksonville came back after halftime,
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson, and credit to the Jags. They made the
Speaker 1: right adjustments to take advantage of those holes in the
Speaker 1: second half, and they got there and they put it home.
Speaker 1: So I agree with you, Kyle. I think this one
Speaker 1: was more on dan Quinn and a defense. There were
Speaker 1: some bad scheme decisions. There was some horrible execution from
Speaker 1: the defensive line, from the linebackers, from the dbs. It
Speaker 1: was a across the board poor performance from the defense.
Speaker 1: What do we say on this show talking Cowboys? Geez,
Speaker 1: we drop a lot of gyms. What do we say
Speaker 1: when the defense has a bad game. Have we had
Speaker 1: that conversation, can the offense pick them up? Yeah, which
Speaker 1: we said, the defense is entitled based up on how
Speaker 1: the defenses played this year, they're gonna have a title
Speaker 1: to having a bad gage. Now, we don't expect that
Speaker 1: aim to be against the doglar of Jacksonville Jaguars, but
Speaker 1: we knew what they were capable of who we did,
Speaker 1: and we knew who was calling their plays. Right, we
Speaker 1: know exactly who was calling their plays. A freaking mastermind. Okay,
Speaker 1: he's been really good for a long time. He just
Speaker 1: because you go to Jacksonvill doesn't mean that you suck
Speaker 1: all of a sudden duck. Peterson's a heck of a coach, okay,
Speaker 1: and he has a heck of a quarterback. They're gonna
Speaker 1: win games there. They're gonna win games. They're gonna start
Speaker 1: figuring that out. So we said, if the defense has
Speaker 1: a bad game, can this team win? Dallas win twenty three?
Speaker 1: For thirty unpassing, Dallas had one one hundred and forty
Speaker 1: yards rushing. If one yards rushing, okay, scored or scored
Speaker 1: thirty plus points wasn't enough that it wasn't because the
Speaker 1: defense didn't have a good game. And we've talked about
Speaker 1: this many times before it takes what are we saying
Speaker 1: a pregame show? What was my key to the game?
Speaker 1: No turnovers? Zero two rovers. There's no margin for turnovers
Speaker 1: when you play teams that can score points. This the
Speaker 1: blueprint is out. People. I'm sorry. I love dan Quinn.
Speaker 1: Nobody loves dan Quinn here more than me. Love me
Speaker 1: some DQ now, dude, he's he's been on the dan
Speaker 1: Quinn bandwagon. Love Q here more than from jump from
Speaker 1: the Seattle Day defense. Well, it's hard enough not on
Speaker 1: where are this defense? Where this strong? Where this defense
Speaker 1: as strong as in pass rush? Ye? Philadelphia opened that door.
Speaker 1: They showed you how to slow down this pass rush correction.
Speaker 1: Smith firmed it, okay, Green Bay showed you how to
Speaker 1: take the air out the ball. So the weak spots
Speaker 1: in his defense have been pointed out. When you play
Speaker 1: a team that has the personnel at receiver that can
Speaker 1: toastito you, because now two of your three starters are gone.
Speaker 1: I don't care what team you are. If you lose
Speaker 1: two of your three dbs, you're gonna be hurting. You're
Speaker 1: gonna be relying on guys that you were hoping that
Speaker 1: you never had to rely on every team that we faced.
Speaker 1: There are gonna be in the playoffs. Now we can
Speaker 1: talk about playoffs and I know we hit two, have
Speaker 1: three more games. Okay, you can talk about but this
Speaker 1: this this next game, they have three receivers that can
Speaker 1: that can run routes. What do we talk about in
Speaker 1: this past week they had three receivers that can run routes. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you had to worry about the tight end. They did
Speaker 1: a pretty dugun and they're out there running them. So
Speaker 1: where Dallas is weak, these other teams are strong. And
Speaker 1: now the defense is not going to be what it
Speaker 1: has been all year long because we said by the
Speaker 1: end of the year team offensive coordinators are very smart.
Speaker 1: They're gonna start figuring out where your weakness is, and
Speaker 1: at some point in time during the season, somebody's gonna
Speaker 1: highlight your weakness and then those oldcs are gonna see that,
Speaker 1: remember it circular with a red dot on the screen,
Speaker 1: and then starts saying, how can we pick that apart?
Speaker 1: Teams are starting to do that. So now it goes
Speaker 1: from seventy thirty from defense being being the leaders of
Speaker 1: this team and really carrying this team like a jazz
Speaker 1: board to now guess what now is more fifty fifty? Yeah,
Speaker 1: so now when your defense gives up five hundred and
Speaker 1: now your offense has to put up four hundred and
Speaker 1: not turn the ball off and not turn the ball off.
Speaker 1: That's what I was going to go to and not
Speaker 1: turn the ball over. It was a complimentary failure by
Speaker 1: this Cowboys team yesterday. And it wasn't a good relationship.
Speaker 1: It wasn't codependency tends to lead to failure, right. It
Speaker 1: was a situation where you got a Cowboys team that
Speaker 1: gets off to a fourteen oh lead and then a
Speaker 1: seventeen point lead at one point in the game, ultimately
Speaker 1: scores thirty four points and you're saying to yourself, and
Speaker 1: we said it, thirty four points should have been enough
Speaker 1: to win this game. Now, that was right there with
Speaker 1: our prediction. Thirty four point should have won the game.
Speaker 1: But thirty four points were allowed by the defense. So
Speaker 1: now you look back at the offense and say, okay,
Speaker 1: well the defense is having a bad game. Thirty four
Speaker 1: thirty four tie. I don't know. Okay, we need you offense,
Speaker 1: make one more play, one more play, And that one
Speaker 1: more play never came but what did come was one
Speaker 1: more turnover, and that was the ball game. That was
Speaker 1: the ball game no Terrell Now offense had. On the
Speaker 1: days where the defense has a bad day, offense has
Speaker 1: to be immaculate. Can't make a single mistake because one
Speaker 1: especially against a team that has horses. Be at the Jaguars,
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles, the Chiefs, maybe down the road, the
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, maybe down the road. You cannot have a
Speaker 1: bad defensive day and make offensive mistakes. That's that's the
Speaker 1: end of that game. You just name two AFC teams
Speaker 1: down the road. I don't know if I can get
Speaker 1: that far yet. Oh, I was thinking the same thing.
Speaker 1: I will say Philadelphia, they've got the horses, as they do.
Speaker 1: Washington's got some guys out the outside too. Tennessee not
Speaker 1: so much. We've seen stranger things happen once you get
Speaker 1: in the dance they have. They now have three games.
Speaker 1: They now have three games to figure it out. I
Speaker 1: get what you're saying. If you talk to me about
Speaker 1: this last week, I'm I'm fully on board. Anything can happen.
Speaker 1: Let's get into it. I'm not there today. I can't
Speaker 1: get there when he's in six weeks fast forward, six weeks.
Speaker 1: Fast forward. All I'm saying because now that the playoff
Speaker 1: is clinched and a fashion in which it was, they
Speaker 1: probably lost out on a chance to chase down the
Speaker 1: Eagles for the number one seed in the division and
Speaker 1: the conference. Now the game plan for me, and we'll
Speaker 1: talk about it over the course of the week, has
Speaker 1: to start slowly turning to managing and learning for the playoffs.
Speaker 1: So you've got a huge test coming up here in Philadelphia.
Speaker 1: Go all out, take that win. You're gonna get up
Speaker 1: for that game regardless. But in doing so, thereafter you
Speaker 1: got the Titans, you got the Commanders. You need to
Speaker 1: start taking these lessons that you've been presented with, learning, polishing,
Speaker 1: and then anything can happen once you're in the dance.
Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying. You're gonna learn a lot about
Speaker 1: your team this week. The oh, you better believe that
Speaker 1: you're gonna learn a whole heck of a lot better.
Speaker 1: Philadelphia is stronger, you're weak in terms of receivers. They're
Speaker 1: built that way. They built their team to beat you. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: so they so they built their defensive line to stop
Speaker 1: your running game because they know that everything comes off
Speaker 1: of your running game. They have more receivers than you
Speaker 1: have dbs. They run rpo, which literally stops your pass rush. Okay,
Speaker 1: they're not turning the ball over and they had a
Speaker 1: couple of tournaments past why they don't turn the ball
Speaker 1: over typically when they're able to establish their running game. Okay,
Speaker 1: So these guys are strong where you're weak. And guess
Speaker 1: what they're getting healthy, you're getting hurt. Yep. So you're
Speaker 1: gonna find out a lot about who you are this week.
Speaker 1: If you had any question about it, here it is
Speaker 1: it just it just it all goes back to just
Speaker 1: really quickly. It all goes back to when you're you're
Speaker 1: talking about the Eagles, who struggled against teams like the
Speaker 1: Coats and you know, struggled against the Bears on yesterday,
Speaker 1: and you look at teams like the Chiefs who were
Speaker 1: down against the Texans at halftime, should have lost text, right,
Speaker 1: I agree? What my point My point is, I just
Speaker 1: I know that the Eagles are good, and I've said
Speaker 1: that readily. The Eagles are really freaking good. But are
Speaker 1: they unbeatable? No? And that's the thing. No team in
Speaker 1: the league has shown me that they're unbeatable. They're not
Speaker 1: giving Sunday, and that goes for the Cowboys as well.
Speaker 1: The Cowboys can come out and drop forty, go forty
Speaker 1: to three against Minnesota, who had the biggest comeback in
Speaker 1: NFL history here last weekend. This past weekend, you can
Speaker 1: go in Minnesota just absolutely ransacked them forty to three,
Speaker 1: but then turn around the struggle against the Texans, then
Speaker 1: turn around and lose forty to thirty four against the
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars in Jacksonville. And again those are two different teams,
Speaker 1: the Texans and jagu Woars. Jaguars have horses, but nonetheless,
Speaker 1: my whole point being, we still don't know from any team,
Speaker 1: any playoff bound team, who they actually are unless they're
Speaker 1: the Bills and in the Chiefs we know who those
Speaker 1: teams are. Sure everyone else, including the Cowboys, we're still
Speaker 1: trying to figure this. Here's here's my and I don't
Speaker 1: know if I agree completely either, because I think you
Speaker 1: make it fun. You know, you know what Philly is.
Speaker 1: They're one lost team right now exactly who they are,
Speaker 1: that's exactly who they are. Who cares what happens between
Speaker 1: now and then? They're going to be the number one
Speaker 1: seed in the NFCED. It's going to happen. I see
Speaker 1: what you're saying. Other than that, it's wide open. You
Speaker 1: don't have to go through the Aaron Rodgers and possibly
Speaker 1: not a prime Tom Brady. You might have to go
Speaker 1: through a different Tom Brady. I take them. You guys
Speaker 1: know me. I don't make emotional statements. What I just
Speaker 1: stated about Philadelphi where they're strong word Dallas is week.
Speaker 1: Those are facts. It is absolute facts, okay, and put
Speaker 1: it in call of duty terms for Chris beam in
Speaker 1: a back. Okay, those guys are fully healthy. We need
Speaker 1: a midpack a still, so they gotta figured it out.
Speaker 1: You need You needed that bye week, That's what you needed.
Speaker 1: That's what hurts this one for me the most is
Speaker 1: the fact that now you look ahead, you needed that
Speaker 1: week because just like what you're saying, you're not healthy
Speaker 1: right now. You missed a ton of guys yesterday, and
Speaker 1: I put out a tweet lv E Terrence Steele, Anthony Brown,
Speaker 1: Jonathan Hankins, Jake Ferguson, Jordan Lewis. You missed those guys yesterday.
Speaker 1: Those are all guys that make significant impacts. And yes,
Speaker 1: your guys came in and you had some guys replace them.
Speaker 1: Tyrants back and healthy. Great, that's fun. He had his
Speaker 1: struggles yesterday too. Comes to lost Durrance for a spill yesterday.
Speaker 1: Luckily he came back before he returned. Yeah, Tyrn Smith
Speaker 1: this night, you are banged up. You needed that bye week,
Speaker 1: and now the chance for that bye week is all
Speaker 1: but gone barring a massive collapse from the Eagles and
Speaker 1: a valiant effort for the final three. You don't expect it, No,
Speaker 1: not at all. I just don't know who any of
Speaker 1: these playoff bound teams are. Outside of the Bills and
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, we know who they are. The Eagles, you
Speaker 1: know who they are. What I'm saying is they haven't
Speaker 1: shown you what they did in the playoffs yet, but
Speaker 1: you know who they are. Yeah, all right, let's take
Speaker 1: our second break this dance man. When we come back
Speaker 1: on Saturday. When we come back, let's talk about the
Speaker 1: offensive side of the football. Went went wrong? There? Where
Speaker 1: could they clean some stuff up? Heading into the short
Speaker 1: week against Philadelphia with more talking Cowboys After this, Todd
Speaker 1: thought it would be secure to Jog and the Cheetah savant.

Speaker 1: gonna limit it to forty five seconds. Beamer, Okay tomorrow
Speaker 1: because I'm gonna try and get as many people in

Speaker 1: don't want people to come in here and rant because
Speaker 1: we need to get in and get out and talk
Speaker 1: about the topic that you want to talk about here
Speaker 1: on the show. So tomorrow we're taking your calls. But
Speaker 1: before we do that, Isaiah Stanbackpatrick Nosi Walker, Chris Beam,
Speaker 1: I'm Kyle Yeoman's let's take a look at the offense. Patrick,
Speaker 1: you were in the building. What do you think about
Speaker 1: how the offensive line performed in front of Dak Prescott.
Speaker 1: You know what, and you know that a player of
Speaker 1: the caliber of Tyron Smith has the ability, But for
Speaker 1: the most part, he played well on the right side
Speaker 1: for the most part, especially over the course of the
Speaker 1: first half. I think what started to kind of go
Speaker 1: a ride there was when they started to do a
Speaker 1: little bit too much mixing and matching. As far as
Speaker 1: it was, first it was Tyron Smith for multiple drives,
Speaker 1: and then Jason Peters would come in for a drive,
Speaker 1: and then Tyron Smith was in for a drive. But
Speaker 1: then you'd see Tyron Smith in on this play, and
Speaker 1: then Peters in on the next play, and Tyron Beck
Speaker 1: in on the next play. When that swap became so
Speaker 1: lack of a better way to put it so close together,
Speaker 1: that's when the chemistry on that right side kind of
Speaker 1: got disrupted a bit, and that's when the pressure started
Speaker 1: to get to Dak Prescott. That's why he saw more
Speaker 1: pressure was in the second half. Then you saw him
Speaker 1: the first half. But before that point, the offense they
Speaker 1: were rolling fourteen oh seventeen point league, you know, So
Speaker 1: I had no problem with the offensive line in the
Speaker 1: first half, but it was when they tried to because
Speaker 1: you still got to ramp up t Smith with seventy
Speaker 1: seven and Peters you know, he can't go one hundred
Speaker 1: percent of the snaps. But for me, it was the
Speaker 1: decision on when to pull one for the other. You
Speaker 1: can't get a rhythm if the next guy is always
Speaker 1: coming in the next place. So that's what went wrong
Speaker 1: in the second half. I want Tyron at the left tackle.
Speaker 1: You want him back out there. I still want him
Speaker 1: at the left tackle with him, My mindset has not changed.
Speaker 1: Who's it right, Peters? Okay? I thought Peters. I think, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're playing for musical chairs. But they to this point,
Speaker 1: they know that Jason Peters is not going to be
Speaker 1: able to go one hundred percent. He just came on
Speaker 1: why he can't physically? Physically he can't? Why because he can't?
Speaker 1: What do you want me to say? Ask Brick Brown?
Speaker 1: Were the we're the ones on this side of the things.
Speaker 1: We're just saying, we're taco. We're hearing at this stage,
Speaker 1: don't ask you got his Well, guess what if he can't?
Speaker 1: Didn't put Tyler. Tyler had that conversation. Yeah, if they're
Speaker 1: saying that he cannot going to happen if he cannot
Speaker 1: play a whole game, didn't put Tyler. I agree, But
Speaker 1: I'm telling you hard line, that's not going to happen
Speaker 1: because the Cowboys, you Tyler Smith has exclusively left. So
Speaker 1: many holding calls to Tyler Tyler Smith have yesterday, he
Speaker 1: didn't have any hold. He gave up two sacks. That's
Speaker 1: what I mean. That's what I mean. That's what I
Speaker 1: meant to say. Sorry, I'm about to say he didn't
Speaker 1: have a hole. Like what game were we watching? He
Speaker 1: gave up two sections? Say right, yeah, yeah, he gave
Speaker 1: up to Peters, gave up one yeah, and almost gave
Speaker 1: up another. And there were multiple pressures from Peters or
Speaker 1: more point pressures from Smith to your point three tackles
Speaker 1: and rolling to the dice and who was gonna be
Speaker 1: at right tackle? Yeah, you can't play offensive lineman, don't
Speaker 1: sub out? So okay, what if do you just keep
Speaker 1: tiring there the whole time? Because Mike Carthy said it yesterday,
Speaker 1: I think that's what it's going. I think that's where
Speaker 1: it's going. Why you can't you can McCarthy said it perfectly,
Speaker 1: But it basically is it reiterating what we've been saying
Speaker 1: here in the return of to Ron Smith. The right tackle,
Speaker 1: left tackle doesn't matter. We all agree that you have
Speaker 1: to ramp him up. He's making his twenty twenty debut
Speaker 1: in mid December. You're not going to put him out
Speaker 1: the one hundred percent of the snaps, regardless of what
Speaker 1: ed you put him more, that's a fact. It just
Speaker 1: saw him over that put him on the field. He
Speaker 1: was the only one that can do anything yesterday get
Speaker 1: him on the field. And that might now be the
Speaker 1: case against the Philadelphia Eagles because Toron Smith outplayed Jason
Speaker 1: Peters as far as snap count, I think Toron Smith
Speaker 1: had a seventy plus percent from I can give it
Speaker 1: to you at seventy plus percent and Jason Peters was
Speaker 1: around twenty twenty five percent. So Toron played the majority,
Speaker 1: which leads me to believe that the rampant process was
Speaker 1: quick and is now over and that he'll probably see
Speaker 1: one hundred percent of the snaps at right tackle against
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles. So the issue that I had, which
Speaker 1: was the musical chairs at right tackle in the second
Speaker 1: half that led to a lot of pressures because of
Speaker 1: the disruption in chemistry, hopefully won't be an issue against
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles. And better not be because they have
Speaker 1: horses up front. It better not be right, It better
Speaker 1: not be because they have horses up front. I got
Speaker 1: the game, but right here at Kyle got snaps. I
Speaker 1: got snaps. So Jason Peters had twenty one offensive snaps,
Speaker 1: which is twenty eight percent of the offense yesterday. And
Speaker 1: Tyler Smith that's the young young guy, fifty four fifty four.
Speaker 1: So he doubled up. He doubled him. So he doubled him.
Speaker 1: So that that's a ramp up. But it's a fairly
Speaker 1: quick ramp up. That hint said seven seven, Why are
Speaker 1: you looking like that? Isaiah? What are you doing? Or
Speaker 1: close to it? You have one of the most dominant
Speaker 1: left tackles ever played this football game. I don't disagree
Speaker 1: with you. I'm just telling you what's going to have
Speaker 1: asked him to change his position when fully healthy. I
Speaker 1: don't think it's his fault though. I don't think it's
Speaker 1: a who's fault. I think it's a lack of he's healthy,
Speaker 1: a lack of right now. Do you disagree that he
Speaker 1: was out there healthy right now? Why would he play
Speaker 1: anything to what he's always played because you're missing Terrence Steele.
Speaker 1: That's the problem. Put the Terrence Steele was out there,
Speaker 1: it would have been Tyrann and left tackle. No doubt
Speaker 1: in our mind. That was what the debate was. Where
Speaker 1: is Where where is Tyler Smith or karnor McGovern gonna go.
Speaker 1: I understand if they don't have any options at right tackle?
Speaker 1: Did you did you say you guys just a younger guy.
Speaker 1: Did you disapprove of Tron's play in the first half?
Speaker 1: I don't. He was listening. He's a He's one of
Speaker 1: the best guys to ever play the game. He can
Speaker 1: do it there, just like Zach Martin could play right
Speaker 1: tackle too. He did what happened, got heard out of
Speaker 1: his position, well, out of his position. Go back and
Speaker 1: find the receipts from him. But I'm saying he's out
Speaker 1: of his position right, Yes, So when you're out of
Speaker 1: your position and all of a sudden you're using different
Speaker 1: muscle groups, you're more prone to injury. What are we
Speaker 1: trying to prevent him from having injury? Come on, man like,
Speaker 1: like you know what I'm saying. I get. Unless it's
Speaker 1: a mental no, you don't want Tyler Smith to have
Speaker 1: to learn another position that's third. That would be the
Speaker 1: only thing that will remotely even saying oh it's going
Speaker 1: to if it's if it's anything else outside of that,
Speaker 1: I can't, for the life of me understand why are
Speaker 1: you taking one of the most dominant guys that ever
Speaker 1: play the position and say you're fully healthy, go play
Speaker 1: somewhere else. Answered your own question though, if Tyler said
Speaker 1: if there's anything remotely outside of that, but there is
Speaker 1: nothing remotely outside of that. The hard line stance in
Speaker 1: the building is that they do not want Tyler Smith
Speaker 1: on the right side of center trying to learn a
Speaker 1: third position in less than six months, six six plus months.
Speaker 1: That's the reason. So there is no if there is
Speaker 1: any no, that's it. And because that, because of that,
Speaker 1: that puts them in dire straits at right tackle, and
Speaker 1: they only have Jason Peters or to Ron Smith unless
Speaker 1: you would like to see more Josh ball soul were
Speaker 1: no different than when Jason Peters first got here. Who
Speaker 1: was he turning into and asking questions too? Before he
Speaker 1: got to the line of scrimmage. Jason Peters was walking
Speaker 1: up to the line of scrimmage. When he was unsure,
Speaker 1: he turned to his left and talk to who Zack
Speaker 1: Zack Martin? How is that any different, Tyler Smith? How
Speaker 1: was it? How would be any different? That's a question
Speaker 1: for you. It's not any different. So you're saying, you're saying,
Speaker 1: take Tyler off the field and put Peters out there
Speaker 1: for a full one d percent of the snaps moving
Speaker 1: forward at right tackle. That's what you would do. Unless
Speaker 1: what they're saying, he can if he cannot physically do it.
Speaker 1: If that's that's the question. If Jason Peters cannot, can't,
Speaker 1: not probable can't play right tackle for an entire game,
Speaker 1: then get him off the field. Peters wasn't great on
Speaker 1: right tackle. I hear you, But guess what, you can't
Speaker 1: be great at the officive line when you're getting cycled
Speaker 1: in unless unless, and I'll say this again unless, because
Speaker 1: you just said, especially in the first half when Toronto
Speaker 1: was getting his wheels, he looked really good. If you
Speaker 1: apply that over the entirety of the offensive outing four
Speaker 1: quarters of football, if that's what you get, then you
Speaker 1: just solved your right tackle problem in the in the medium,
Speaker 1: right in the intermediar. I'm not saying he can't do it.
Speaker 1: I just don't like it. I don't like it either.
Speaker 1: I don't say I don't see however, see however, I
Speaker 1: see him doing a great however and role. I don't
Speaker 1: see him being dominant here. He was dominant first, My
Speaker 1: point being whether we like it or not. Whether we
Speaker 1: like it or not, The question then becomes, well, if
Speaker 1: you don't like it, what would you do? Now your
Speaker 1: your answer to that is, well you move tilet what
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, they're not so, Then, knowing that they won't,
Speaker 1: what what will you do? That's a choice? You weren't
Speaker 1: out of answer. I hear you, that's a choice. I'm
Speaker 1: saying that's a choice. But that is their choice. That's
Speaker 1: their choice. And I'm telling you what. I have my
Speaker 1: opinion and they have theirs. I know, but what would
Speaker 1: you do have their opinion? What would you do? Knowing
Speaker 1: that that's not an option? Knowing Tyler Smith, it is
Speaker 1: an option. No, it's not because they're telling you it's
Speaker 1: a choice. It is an option. Well, you're choosing not
Speaker 1: to do it. But that's not the hypotheticals. My hypothetical
Speaker 1: is you have a healthy the healthy guy who's one
Speaker 1: of the best to ever do it at his position.
Speaker 1: Put him back in his position. Can you class everything?
Speaker 1: How are you solving right? It's not healthy? Can you
Speaker 1: classify him as healthy? One game back from a how
Speaker 1: am I right? Tackle? Knowing that they're looking you in
Speaker 1: the face and telling you we're not putting the rookie
Speaker 1: over again. That's their choice, right, But then the question
Speaker 1: is what are you I already doing it right, And
Speaker 1: they are choosing to put a Hall of Famer who's
Speaker 1: fully healthy at a position that he that he doesn't
Speaker 1: even worked until they started cycling him out. That's good.
Speaker 1: So the answer should be stop cycling him out and
Speaker 1: hopefully that happens as early as this week. That is
Speaker 1: a solution to fill a gap. But guess what flex
Speaker 1: all doesn't fix all. You're right, but that's all I'm
Speaker 1: gonna say. I mean, it's better than putting wax paper over.
Speaker 1: There is no easy answer to this question. There's no
Speaker 1: easy answer because there's a pro and there's a con
Speaker 1: to every single one of these options about and it'll
Speaker 1: just like it will be debated for the cornerback position
Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the football this week, it'll
Speaker 1: be debated on the offensive line to just like it
Speaker 1: will be all the way through. No one is safe
Speaker 1: right now, not after this game. Not if you want
Speaker 1: to get it right going into the playoffs. You are
Speaker 1: not ready yet as a football team. The Dallas Cowboys
Speaker 1: are not ready to win playoff football. Their first first
Speaker 1: benchmark again this week they get a chance to rectify
Speaker 1: it and at least build some confidence this week, even
Speaker 1: though it may not affect the long run of where
Speaker 1: you sit in the playoffs. However, you're not ready right now.
Speaker 1: This is a big week for the Dallas Cowboys football
Speaker 1: team and what they do on that field, and we're
Speaker 1: going to talk about it every single day up until
Speaker 1: Saturday here on Talking Cowboys, presented by Black Rifle Coffee
Speaker 1: Company that does it for us Today for Chris Beam,
Speaker 1: Isaiah Standback and Patrick no sawalkerround Kyle Yeoman's We'll see
Speaker 1: tomorrow with more Talking Cowboys. This has been a production
