Welcome back. 0:01:37.680 --> 0:01:40.560 First off, glad, glad you didn't show off to work 0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:41.160 last week. 0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:45.839 Oh but we heard of showed up here. He shut 0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:51.120 up in spirit my name, I tell you. The bat 0:01:51.200 --> 0:01:52.960 signal popped up in Alabama and. 0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:56.040 I felt it. I felt spidy since was tingling Man? 0:01:56.320 --> 0:01:56.680 Love it? 0:01:56.880 --> 0:01:58.680 Yeah, No, back in the building, Happy to be back. 0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:01.280 Mischie guys, Hello a lot. That's why I had to 0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:03.920 absolutely call in once the name was mentioned. 0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:07.600 I can't wait for training camp for a couple of reasons. 0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:09.600 So yeah, but you know, I was hoping that my 0:02:09.760 --> 0:02:15.280 return today would be under better circumstances. Yeah no, no, 0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:19.200 it's just not m GB, not great, Bob. So cowboys 0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:24.680 fall to the Eagles in spectacularly bad fashion. And like 0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:26.800 you said, they didn't fall to Jalen Hurts. They fell 0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:32.160 to Kenny Elway and Tanner, Montana. That's basically what they 0:02:32.280 --> 0:02:35.519 were made to look like last night. And I mean, 0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:41.239 really it began with the implosion of the offense from 0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:45.520 the Cowboys. I mean, you do not walk into a 0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:48.959 road game, let alone against the Philadelphia Eagles and give 0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:52.320 the ball away three times in the first half and 0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:54.880 then expect to really have a chance to win their game. 0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:57.560 So talk about the two interceptions from Cooper Rush, the 0:02:57.639 --> 0:03:00.960 fumbled by Jake Ferguson. The e goes turn around and 0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:03.839 get you know, manifest seventeen points out of their first 0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:06.840 twenty four points off of those turnovers. Yeah, you were 0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:09.240 able to bounce back in your second drive after that 0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:13.919 pick six, but ultimately constantly giving the ball away, you could, 0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:15.440 and I said this to Tommy, you could kind of 0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:18.720 see the defense, Cowboys defense becoming more and more mentally 0:03:18.760 --> 0:03:20.640 defeated by the fact that they had to keep going 0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:23.840 back onto the field and then unleash the Sa Kwan 0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:27.160 Barkley and just pound you into dust from that point forward. 0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:31.200 So yeah, grit season is basically over. 0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:31.720 M HM. 0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:34.920 So that was fun while it lasted. The Eagles won 0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:37.920 and the Commanders eked out of winning overtime. So on 0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:42.960 to week eighteen, we go and yeah, roses and tombstones. 0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:45.600 That was tough. That was a really tough game. 0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:50.920 You see one starting caliber corner out there and they 0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:52.400 just decided to pick on Andrew Bruth. 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:53.760 Oh oh god. 0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:55.720 They Yeah, we were talking about those numbers. 0:03:55.840 --> 0:03:57.400 That was rough to watch. 0:03:57.440 --> 0:03:59.680 But like you said, it did feel like the defense 0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:03.560 sort of after the ineptitude of the offense for the 0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:04.120 first half. 0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:05.560 It was just like, I'm. 0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:10.600 Tired, boss, tired perfectly. See. It was. 0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:11.880 That was tough to watch. 0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:15.480 The air left my body in the second in the 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:18.480 first half, actually just before the first half ended it 0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:20.560 it was tough, man, Tommy, Do you. 0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:23.440 Want the Andrew Booth numbers? Yes, we get into that, 0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:24.400 let's do it. 0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:26.200 Yeah, I'm looking right at them, but please, by all 0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:26.720 means and. 0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:30.400 Monte Smith and Andrew Booth lined up on one another 0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:37.440 eight times yesterday. Smith was targeted six times. On those 0:04:37.440 --> 0:04:40.760 eight reps. He caught five of those passes. It's not 0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:44.080 good for eleven yards and two touchdowns. 0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:46.040 What's that average? Like twenty two to two. 0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:48.800 Something like that. You're better at math than I am, am. 0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:51.440 I yeah, you did because you had to correct somebody 0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:53.440 on Twitter who wasn't so good at math when. 0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:55.080 Yeah, that's a different conversation. 0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:58.719 We'll talk about that, but there's your math. 0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:02.320 Is that the biggest math is that's nine yards less 0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:04.200 than his total for the game, which was one hundred 0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:08.560 and twenty. So essentially, aside from all that he caught 0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:11.080 what was it, one more pass, two more passes for 0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:13.960 nine yards Andrew Boothy gets one hundred and eleven and 0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:17.400 two touchdowns. That's not great. It's not great. And we 0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:21.440 a lot of Yeah, he hadn't moved to ir that 0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:23.120 kind of was the writing on the wall. This's gonna 0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:26.040 be a really thin cornerback room and they just couldn't 0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:26.479 get it done. 0:05:26.760 --> 0:05:29.040 And they mentioned that on the broadcast a couple of times. 0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:31.640 Greg Olsen was like, man, at some point, it was 0:05:31.680 --> 0:05:35.040 gonna raar its ugly head again. The revolving door cornerback, 0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:36.920 whether it was the Ron Bland early in the year, 0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:40.520 Trayvon Diggs, now, whether or not Jordan Lewis was available 0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:41.920 for a couple games in the middle. 0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:45.839 Of that stretch. Yeah, they they have had zero. 0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:48.920 Stability at the cornerback spot, and there have been times 0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:50.880 where every reserve has been. 0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:53.240 Picked on from the Cowboys cornerback room. 0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:55.880 We've talked about Butler at one point, We've talked about 0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:59.240 a Warria at one point, Carson at one point. This time, 0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:02.240 it just happened to be Andrew Booth. And give credit 0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:05.880 to Devonte Smith. He is a high level, elite caliber receiver, 0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:07.440 and the Eagles have two of those. 0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:08.719 That's what makes them so good. 0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:11.800 They've got two elite receivers, whereas Dallas only has the 0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:13.719 one to work with. And you saw what that looked 0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:14.719 like on Sunday. 0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:17.520 The difficult part is that it's not Jalen Hurts throwing 0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:19.880 the ball et either. You know, you had the two 0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:23.880 backup quarterbacks, the second and the third string, just like 0:06:23.920 --> 0:06:27.680 you said, Patrick, like you alluded to Chust. 0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:29.479 To George Way and turn of Montana, uh, and a 0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:31.760 lot of a large part of it was you know, 0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:34.360 of course, you go back and look at the numbers, 0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:35.760 and you look at the film and if you watch 0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:37.800 it in real time, Andrew Booth just got picked on. 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:40.040 Yeah, it was absolutely. 0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:40.640 Picked on, Like where's twenty five? 0:06:41.000 --> 0:06:43.480 Yeah, absolutely picked on. The Only way that you could 0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:47.120 help him in that situation is to get after the quarterback. 0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:51.479 Cowboys only had four pressures yesterday four, and three of 0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:52.880 them belonged to Michael Parsons. 0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:55.480 Wow. The other belonged to Olso Diggi Zuwa. 0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:57.640 So two of the top ed rushers in football in 0:06:57.680 --> 0:07:00.479 the back half of the season only got four pressure 0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:01.160 four pressures. 0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:04.000 It's a good offense that offensive line mat when you're 0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:07.919 averaging one pressure per quarter and they've already identified the 0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:11.040 blinking light in your secondary, you're you're long for the. 0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:13.120 Ride at their toast and you can't stop the run. 0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:14.600 Yeah, and you had. 0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:18.280 Nothing for that, So then it became just keeping the 0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:21.960 Cowboys defense off balance. At that point, it's like, Okay, Barkley, Barkley, Barkley, 0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:24.040 Oh hey, booth pass. 0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:24.840 For what it's worth. 0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:27.400 I And and this is not to sprinkle sugar on 0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:30.000 what was a burnt toast in the in the early 0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:33.280 parts of this game, But I was actually impressed with 0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:35.160 the way that Dallas fought in the run game. 0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:35.520 Early. 0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:38.400 They weren't getting off the chunk plays, they weren't allowing 0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:42.040 Barkley to find it. They were getting them in the backfield. 0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:45.080 And it's almost impossible to tackle Barkley for a loss, 0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:47.960 but they were close multiple times, and they forced him backwards. 0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:49.720 So that way, he only was limited to one or 0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:50.640 two yards per carry. 0:07:50.760 --> 0:07:52.280 I mean even at the end of the day, whenever 0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:55.120 he finished with a number, he did thirty one carries, 0:07:55.160 --> 0:07:55.880 one hundred. 0:07:55.600 --> 0:07:58.160 And sixty seven yards five point four yards per carry. 0:07:58.680 --> 0:08:00.320 Most of that was in the second. 0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:02.440 Correct, one hundred and twenty seven yards in the second 0:08:02.480 --> 0:08:02.800 There you go. 0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:04.680 So he was what forty yards in the first half. 0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:07.400 You know why I'm okay with that because the Cowboys 0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:11.200 couldn't stop the past correct, So then they changed coverage 0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:14.840 style to stop the pass and opened the seat or 0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:16.080 the green sea, and. 0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:17.480 Then and then they were record watching. 0:08:17.480 --> 0:08:19.600 On top of that, it's like, oh, we'll give Saquon 0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:21.080 the most carriages out of all season. 0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:23.160 Now, Oh, they were trying to get him to two 0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:26.240 k because borderline, they get him to two thousand. He's 0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:29.480 at two thousand. Now they can sit them if they want. 0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:32.240 Or going up against the Giants this week, the Eagles 0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:36.400 can possibly have against his former team one hundred and 0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:40.280 four yards and put up a I don't know, man, that's. 0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:42.199 A big former team, a chance to break the all 0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:43.120 time rushing record. 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:43.840 It's pretty big. 0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:47.280 Yeah, I understand, I understand the risk, but it's the risk, 0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:50.160 and to be fair, I'm also of the mindset of 0:08:50.280 --> 0:08:53.920 seventeen and sixteen aren't equal, so that's kind of different 0:08:54.000 --> 0:08:55.760 from the ego see seventeen to sixteen. 0:08:55.800 --> 0:08:58.559 Hey, but when you look up single season rushing record, 0:08:59.320 --> 0:09:02.920 would say still exceedingly impressive if he were able to 0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:03.120 do it. 0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:04.840 So I don't want to take anything away from that 0:09:04.920 --> 0:09:07.080 other than to say the facts are the facts, and 0:09:07.080 --> 0:09:09.040 if you do it in a fewer amount of games, 0:09:09.320 --> 0:09:12.680 then it's more impressive that it's not impressive, it's just more. 0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:15.960 I mean, he's still top ten considering the sixteen game 0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:18.400 window right, still top ten. 0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:20.840 Because he was a player all time to hit two 0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:23.440 thousand and he did it in sixteen games. So yeah, 0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:26.400 it was impressive. And Barkley's a specimen. We've talked about 0:09:26.400 --> 0:09:28.240 it all week. We've talked about it twice a year 0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:30.560 for every year he's been in the NFL. 0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:32.400 It's foolish. 0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:36.000 There's a being there's a video circling right now that's. 0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:38.680 Some hard knocks cool man. It's bad. So it keeps 0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:40.560 resurfacing every every few weeks. 0:09:40.640 --> 0:09:44.199 Don't blame him, don't blame another kind of silver lining. 0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:47.280 This is Saquon Barkley's only good game against the Cowboys, 0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:50.360 like really really good in his career against the. 0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:55.600 Cowboys, and that is quite impressive from but I guess 0:09:55.920 --> 0:09:56.360 I mean. 0:09:57.240 --> 0:09:59.439 It goes back to the original part of the conversation 0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:02.839 of the reason that Saquon had success in the second 0:10:02.920 --> 0:10:04.960 half as opposed to the first half was because in 0:10:05.000 --> 0:10:07.280 the first half you had guys like Kenny Pickett throwing 0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:09.480 ten of fifteen for one hundred and forty three yards 0:10:09.520 --> 0:10:12.679 in a touchdown with his quarterback rating at one twenty. 0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:15.560 Can't get much worse than that, right, Tanner McKee comes 0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:15.880 in and. 0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:19.400 Goes three of four throws for two tuddies and fifty 0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:20.480 four yards through the air. 0:10:21.520 --> 0:10:23.840 I really liked Tanner McKee as a as a Day 0:10:23.880 --> 0:10:26.160 three prospect out of the draft. I wasn't really high 0:10:26.200 --> 0:10:26.920 on Kenny. 0:10:26.679 --> 0:10:29.320 Pickett, and sure enough that didn't turn out very well 0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:30.280 for Tanner McKee. 0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:30.560 KYLEE. 0:10:30.600 --> 0:10:32.920 Oowmens guy, not a Kylie Owens guy. But I did 0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:34.360 like him out of the draft. I thought he was 0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:36.640 a draftable player. Kind of wanted Dallas to take him 0:10:36.640 --> 0:10:39.040 in this third like that Day three side of things. 0:10:39.040 --> 0:10:42.559 Instead Philadelphia did, and here he is throwing touchdown. 0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:46.840 You know what's wild to watch is when a player, 0:10:47.559 --> 0:10:50.760 a player's kryptonite is identified and there's nothing they can 0:10:50.800 --> 0:10:52.640 do about it, and it seems like every player has it. 0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:56.520 Quarterbacks have it. Right for the longest time, Peyton Mannon's 0:10:56.920 --> 0:10:59.839 krypton kite was Tom Brady, Right. So when you talk 0:10:59.880 --> 0:11:04.320 with Dak, dakx kryptonite is those folks out in San Francisco, right, sure? 0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:08.280 And even I mean Fangio really has Dak's number as well. 0:11:08.679 --> 0:11:11.640 Cooper Rush versus the Eagles, the Eagles just flat out 0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:13.920 half Cooper Rush's number. Cooper Rush is now all one 0:11:13.960 --> 0:11:16.800 three against the Philadelphia Eagles. Tommy and I were talking 0:11:16.800 --> 0:11:21.120 about it yesterday in the booth. This is the only 0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:24.560 the second multi interception game of Cooper Rush's career as 0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:28.800 an NFL started, and the first since twenty twenty two 0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:31.679 Week six, when he went up against the Philadelphia Eagles 0:11:31.720 --> 0:11:35.280 in Philadelphia and he gave up three interceptions, which, by 0:11:35.320 --> 0:11:37.880 the way, in that season he had no interceptions in 0:11:37.920 --> 0:11:40.400 any other game. Oh wow, So all three of his 0:11:40.440 --> 0:11:43.720 interceptions that season were against the Eagles in Philadelphia. So 0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:45.520 he was asked about it yesterday and kind of tongue 0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:47.280 in cheek. He was like, I don't know. Maybe it's 0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:49.720 the stadium, maybe I don't like the color green, whatever 0:11:49.760 --> 0:11:53.160 it might be. The Eagles just have Cooper Rush's number, 0:11:53.160 --> 0:11:55.640 and there seems like there's nothing he can do to 0:11:56.080 --> 0:11:58.400 gain any kind of leeway. I mean, in those interceptions 0:11:58.440 --> 0:12:02.200 that he threw. We've seen Cooper Rush play some solid football. 0:12:02.360 --> 0:12:04.079 That's how they got the four and one in the 0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:07.719 last five games. But those two interceptions are unforgivable. 0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:12.080 That first one was just this if he even explained. 0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:15.000 He was like, Oh, it's an option route. No, that's 0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:15.599 that's c J. 0:12:15.720 --> 0:12:17.280 Gardner Johnson. It was mixed coverage. 0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:17.520 C J. 0:12:17.600 --> 0:12:20.360 Gardner Johnson. He does a two step drop and he 0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:23.440 sits in the zone. He's sitting there waiting for Brandon 0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:25.640 Cooks to come on the inside slide if he comes off. 0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:27.640 If Cooper Rush comes off of that read and sees 0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:29.720 Jake Ferguson absolutely. 0:12:29.240 --> 0:12:31.160 Toasting the line as the window right there. 0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:33.440 Not only does he have a window, Mingo has sleigh 0:12:33.800 --> 0:12:35.920 pin to the sideline. So maybe if he blocks that, 0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:38.040 then all he has to do, Jake is beat the 0:12:38.080 --> 0:12:41.040 single high safety. Best case scenario, you're down to the 0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:43.400 fifteen ten yard line. Oh, worst case scenario, you're down 0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:45.840 to the fifteen ten yard line. Best case, Jake Ferguson 0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:46.600 gets a touchdown. 0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:48.240 Then on the interception. 0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:53.199 Triple coverage, Brandon cooks his two safeties and a cornerback 0:12:53.200 --> 0:12:53.640 over there. 0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:54.160 Ar. 0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:56.320 Meanwhile, if you go back and look at that set, 0:12:56.559 --> 0:12:59.559 you have Jalen Tolbert coming free on the middle fade 0:12:59.679 --> 0:13:02.360 on the outside, you dropped that in over into his 0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:06.040 own bucket, or Jake Ferguson on a slight curl ten 0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:07.280 yards it was a third and six. 0:13:07.440 --> 0:13:08.400 Either one of those is the. 0:13:08.400 --> 0:13:12.240 First down, but Jake has yack potential after that triple coverage. 0:13:12.240 --> 0:13:13.880 As soon as the ball went in the air, Tommy 0:13:13.920 --> 0:13:16.360 and I sat back and was like, oh, because. 0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:18.719 There were three Green Jerseys ready to take that ball. 0:13:19.000 --> 0:13:20.880 I think I think Patrick and I were closer to 0:13:20.920 --> 0:13:26.160 that ball than Brandon Cook was. It wasn't along with 0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:27.960 the three defensive It looked like a punt. 0:13:28.160 --> 0:13:31.800 It was was it on punt? Yeah? It was third down? 0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:32.440 Right third? 0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:35.360 But there were still like thirty one seconds left on 0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:35.720 the clocks. 0:13:35.720 --> 0:13:38.199 Oh, I'm not saying it was excusable. No, it basically 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:46.800 was a pun that it just gave the punt up and. 0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:46.280 Jalen Tobert is a first down option right there. Jake 0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:48.640 Ferguson is a first down plus yack option right there. 0:13:48.640 --> 0:13:51.960 But you decide on Cooks. So two of his interceptions 0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:55.120 came forcing the ball to Brandon Cooks, not coming off 0:13:55.160 --> 0:13:58.920 of the read. So those were just unforgivable and for 0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:01.840 as good, good as really really good as a tight 0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:03.559 end as Jake Ferguson is. And we all know I 0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:06.080 love me from Jake Ferguson. You got to protect the ball, Michael, 0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:08.000 you got to protect the ball. Doubt will how to 0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:10.800 fumble too. Yeah, when the Eagles go down, they score, 0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:13.760 they take the lead fourteen to seven, you're trying to 0:14:13.800 --> 0:14:17.160 answer first play of your next drive. You're tight in 0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:19.720 fumbles the ball. Eagles get a field goal off of that, 0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:22.120 and then that's for me, that's kind of where it 0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:26.440 started to snowball, because the Cowboys never regained composure after that. 0:14:26.520 --> 0:14:29.840 Oh, it was the Ferguson fumble is where I wrote it. 0:14:29.880 --> 0:14:31.440 Even in my highlight. 0:14:31.120 --> 0:14:32.920 Package that I wrote last night, I said, this was 0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:36.400 the point was where pivot point. Yeah, everything started going 0:14:36.440 --> 0:14:39.160 downhill for Dallas because even then you go down the field, 0:14:39.240 --> 0:14:41.240 you tie it up at fourteen, and then you're you're 0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:45.080 still answering the serve at that point from Philadelphia. But 0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:47.480 then you fumble there, you give them great territory even 0:14:47.520 --> 0:14:49.840 if they don't get the touchdown, and they ended up 0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:52.200 going and kicking a field goal instead. 0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:53.080 It was rough. 0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:55.640 And then think about the number of plays that the 0:14:55.680 --> 0:14:58.560 Eagles ran on that drive, that scoring drive that took 0:14:58.600 --> 0:15:02.000 them fourteen to seven. Defense, they're tired, it's time to 0:15:02.000 --> 0:15:05.800 get some water. Let's reset fumble. If you're the defense, 0:15:05.880 --> 0:15:09.400 you immediately hit drop. You like, okay, al right, here 0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:11.600 we go. And it just went from there. 0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:17.800 Yeah, after that fumble, eleven plays, twenty six yard drive for. 0:15:17.800 --> 0:15:20.360 The Eagles to keep the field goal around them. 0:15:20.640 --> 0:15:24.680 A minute and nineteen seconds later was the Cooper Russian reception. 0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:28.400 And I think the real killer was after the pick. 0:15:28.400 --> 0:15:31.200 There's thirty six seconds left in the half and the 0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:34.440 Eagles go sixty five yards and four plays for a touchdown. Yep, 0:15:34.600 --> 0:15:35.160 there's her no. 0:15:35.400 --> 0:15:37.320 Big off chunk play over the top to back. 0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:39.800 That's when the game was over. Yeah, that's when it 0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:42.920 was over. So that's the first half, right, Yeah, that 0:15:42.960 --> 0:15:44.280 was that was the end of the first half. 0:15:44.600 --> 0:15:48.200 So reiterating that's when the game was over the. 0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:51.880 End of the first half, run more real quick is 0:15:51.880 --> 0:15:54.360 I know we're going to break here soon, and here 0:15:54.400 --> 0:15:54.680 we go. 0:15:54.760 --> 0:15:54.960 You know. 0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:57.800 I typically write three things that'll usually have to happen 0:15:57.840 --> 0:16:00.480 for the Cowboys to win. Number one was Cooper Rush 0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:03.440 need to beat zone. Eagles and Vic Fangio play zone 0:16:03.760 --> 0:16:05.680 at I think the highest level in the NFL or 0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:09.080 the highest rate in the NFL. So Cooper Rush against 0:16:09.160 --> 0:16:13.520 Zone ten of twenty seventy nine yards an interception. The 0:16:13.680 --> 0:16:17.640 second point was regardless of who he plays quarterback, because 0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:20.280 we didn't know during the week, get home, no sacks, 0:16:20.560 --> 0:16:22.760 four pressures, and the last one was find a way 0:16:22.800 --> 0:16:24.360 to limit Saqua and they did in the first half. 0:16:24.520 --> 0:16:27.800 Second half, he breaks a record and goes into NFL history. 0:16:27.880 --> 0:16:30.480 Well, yeah, it's almost like you know what you're talking about, Tommy. 0:16:30.560 --> 0:16:32.120 Sometimes to win. 0:16:32.040 --> 0:16:37.120 Sometimes sometimes yeah, like all caps. 0:16:36.160 --> 0:16:36.960 Once in a while. 0:16:38.040 --> 0:16:40.040 Just because you brought it up, Pat, I was curious 0:16:40.040 --> 0:16:45.800 and I went to look at Cooper Rush's splits from Philadelphia. 0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:48.560 He's nine and two against every other team. 0:16:48.600 --> 0:16:52.479 As a Star Ryptonite except for philadelphia'szero and three kryptonite. 0:16:52.760 --> 0:16:56.200 His totals against Philly, oh Man, these are bad. Forty 0:16:56.280 --> 0:17:01.960 seven completions on ninety one attempts. That is a that's 0:17:02.240 --> 0:17:05.520 just over fifty percent, fifty one percent for the mathematic 0:17:05.640 --> 0:17:08.399 nerds out there, three hundred and eighty three yards on 0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:09.800 ninety one attempts. 0:17:10.359 --> 0:17:10.479 Uh. 0:17:10.840 --> 0:17:14.879 He has two touchdowns and five interceptions. He doesn't have 0:17:14.920 --> 0:17:18.679 a single other team that he's ever faced throughout his 0:17:18.800 --> 0:17:21.400 NFL career where he's thrown more than one interception. 0:17:21.520 --> 0:17:23.240 It's not like the Eagles are team that we need 0:17:23.280 --> 0:17:24.480 to be often, right. 0:17:24.480 --> 0:17:25.359 Yeah, pretty often. 0:17:25.640 --> 0:17:28.560 He's played against them three times as a starter, six 0:17:28.600 --> 0:17:30.360 times overall, and it hasn't gone well. 0:17:30.359 --> 0:17:33.960 It's just amazing to watch. Dude. Pretty weird. It is 0:17:34.000 --> 0:17:34.520 pretty weird. 0:17:34.600 --> 0:17:37.000 All right, Let's take our first break when we come back. 0:17:37.320 --> 0:17:39.600 We did have some positive and it was really over 0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:43.560 the course of the season that came to ahead and 0:17:43.680 --> 0:17:46.720 Rico Dowtell is now a one thousand yard rusher at 0:17:46.720 --> 0:17:48.480 the NFL level. We're going to talk about that and 0:17:48.520 --> 0:17:51.880 how much weight that holds, and then also what does 0:17:51.920 --> 0:17:54.720 it mean for this offseason for the Cowboys going into 0:17:54.760 --> 0:17:57.480 the final week of the regular season. Lots to talk 0:17:57.520 --> 0:17:59.679 about still when we come back with more talking cowboys 0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:03.480 right out to this. If you're looking for fresh American 0:18:03.560 --> 0:18:06.560 roasted coffee that gives back, you need to head to 0:18:06.600 --> 0:18:09.080
