So I'm not out here with the with 46 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,920 Speaker 1: the gamer hit says, even though I know Chris Beam 47 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 1: love my gaming hit says, I know these these look 48 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 1: a little bit more official and team oriented. Chris Beam's 49 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,079 Speaker 1: gaming headsets. One trump to whatever you were working with. 50 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 1: It wasn't even close. He received the rig that Chris 51 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 1: Beam's working with on the Xbox night end and night out. 52 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,399 Speaker 1: That guy does not take it halfway, does not take 53 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 1: it halfway. It really is kind of ridiculous. Speaking of Xbox, 54 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:32,079 Speaker 1: though we did. We can't start this show without taking 55 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: some time to recognize a legend and to remember a legend. 56 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 1: John Madden, legendary coach, innovator, broadcaster. List goes on and 57 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: on about John Madden. He passed away yesterday at the 58 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 1: age of eighty five. And honestly, it's a it's a 59 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: hard hit for for me personally. It's a hard hit 60 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 1: for really most football fans out there, because a lot 61 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 1: of their earliest memories of football surround John Madden. Really 62 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: from the get go, generation after generation has already been 63 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: influenced by his influence and his love for the game, 64 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 1: and it really has grown the game of football to 65 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: a whole new level. So I wanted to take a 66 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,599 Speaker 1: moment and kind of ask you guys, and I'll start 67 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: with heckma, what did John Madden mean to you specifically? 68 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: And what kind of impact did he have on your life? 69 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,040 Speaker 1: And what will you remember from his legacy? Man, It 70 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: just you know, John Madden reminds me of my childhood, 71 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 1: reminds me of my grandfather really, you know, watching football 72 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 1: games with my grandfather, who really is the one that 73 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 1: introduced me to football, and his love and passion and 74 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:45,479 Speaker 1: he loved John Madden and just how animated he he 75 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,719 Speaker 1: was calling games and we would laugh, you know, our 76 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,799 Speaker 1: bus off during games just with him and his sound effects, 77 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 1: the boom boom boom, you know and stuff like that, 78 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 1: you know, doing games, you know, as a as a 79 00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: color analyst, he was just so magnificent and at translating 80 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,719 Speaker 1: what was happening on the field to any type of 81 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: what you know viewer his football knowledge and I Q 82 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: he just was a football guy that could relate everything, 83 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 1: didn't matter if it was to tellustrate or what it was, 84 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: you know, he could relate it. And I just remember 85 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 1: man Cowboys games, uh, you know, Thanksgiving games specifically when 86 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 1: he would bring out the turd ducing and describe what 87 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 1: a turd Duncan was and big old Nate Newton with 88 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: the turkey legs. And that's just like I said, it's 89 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 1: just really a part of my purely a part of 90 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,280 Speaker 1: my childhood. But Kyle and Isaiah, what I've learned, man, 91 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: and from losing people, losing heroes, losing people that you 92 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,159 Speaker 1: admire that you got, you have to celebrate all of 93 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,039 Speaker 1: the great things that they are and were in your life, 94 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 1: you know, period. And he left so many great memories 95 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 1: behind for us to celebrate. And man, I just think 96 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 1: that those are the things that are so important when 97 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 1: you lose somebody as legendary as John Matten and in 98 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 1: this day and age, man, when you is the word 99 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:04,840 Speaker 1: legend and go way too much right because he personified 100 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 1: what legend was all about. John Legend For me, he 101 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,160 Speaker 1: was a legend obviously h John. Sorry, John, you see it, 102 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,159 Speaker 1: but he's suit in my mind's at John. John Madden 103 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 1: to me is a legend and from that from that 104 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: standpoint as a child, I didn't play a lot of 105 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 1: football growing up, so my introduction really to football was 106 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: playing Madden. And obviously I learned about who he was 107 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 1: through that experience playing video games. Going back and seeing 108 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,479 Speaker 1: his impact on the Raiders organization, seeing his impact in 109 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 1: the booth. I love the fact that you guys know, 110 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 1: I'm not wanting to be boogie and do things like 111 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 1: like most people do it. I like throwing my own 112 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,159 Speaker 1: little curve on on your curveball onto things. And that's 113 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 1: what he did, and he left, he left his impact. 114 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 1: Every time you heard him announced the game, there was 115 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,159 Speaker 1: something that you took away. There's one thing to talk 116 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,919 Speaker 1: and just talking talking and talking give great information, but 117 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,559 Speaker 1: it's also another thing to do that and give somebody 118 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: little nuggets that they always remember, whether it's a little same, 119 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: whether it's a phrase, whether it's a sound effect. And 120 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 1: that's what I loved about him because that that's kind 121 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: of that's kind of my style and I learned a 122 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 1: lot of that from from him. You know, you don't 123 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 1: have to be you don't have to be the same 124 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: as everybody else, and he was okay being an individual 125 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 1: in that regard. Everybody I know who's encountering him had 126 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 1: a high regard, had a high respect for him. And 127 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: it's really kind of aree how how his passing just 128 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 1: occurred because last week, actually last Sunday, during the game 129 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 1: Nate pregame, Nate and I were having a conversation about 130 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 1: Madden because I think they were doing his special, so 131 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: it came up and we Nate and I had started 132 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: having conversations about how amazing he is, the impact he has, 133 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 1: and how Nate was actually planning on going to spend 134 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 1: some time with him this offseason, um, because they needed 135 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 1: to catch up, and then this obviously just occurred. So, um, 136 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 1: you know, just shout out to John Madden and everything 137 00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 1: that he's done for the game of football. Shout out 138 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 1: to all the lives that he's impacted, and all the 139 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: opportunities that he's created as well. Yeah, the All Madden 140 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 1: special that aired on Fox on Christmas Day, I saw 141 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 1: a lot of reaction to that, and it was even 142 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 1: before this news, talking about the impact that he did 143 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 1: have and arguably there are a lot of people who 144 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,559 Speaker 1: have had impacts on the NFL and on the sport 145 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 1: of football, but he's up at the top of that list, 146 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: if not number one on that list. I mean, he 147 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 1: could be argued to be the most impactful man over 148 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 1: the last forty years, forty five years in the game 149 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 1: of football and the way that he has impacted and 150 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 1: grown the game at new levels, and it really is 151 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,440 Speaker 1: a phenomenal legacy that he is leaving behind, and it's 152 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,560 Speaker 1: a loss that the football world is going to mourn 153 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 1: for quite some time. And I'm looking forward to the 154 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 1: stories that are going to be shared surrounding his legacy, 155 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 1: and of course the tributes that will soon be followed 156 00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 1: by that, whether it be on the NFL field, on 157 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 1: broad cast, and then of course, I'm sure whenever the 158 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,840 Speaker 1: Super Bowl rolls around, there's going to be some sort 159 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 1: of talk of John Madden, because that guy, that legend, 160 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 1: John Madden, made such an impact for so many people 161 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 1: surrounding this sport and so he will be dearly missed. 162 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 1: But we had to start that off and talk a 163 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 1: little bit about John Madden, and I'm sure we'll have 164 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 1: Rob give his impacts from Madden himself at some point 165 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 1: down the line. But let's talk about this Cowboys game 166 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 1: and this matchup coming up this week. I mean, this 167 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 1: is an Arizona Cardinals team that is a bit desperate 168 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 1: at the moment. They've lost three straight games, They've lost 169 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: five of their last eight. In a team that's still 170 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 1: fighting for an opportunity to win their division. They have 171 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,839 Speaker 1: not wrapped up the NFC West. If anything, they were 172 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 1: not in the driver's seat anymore because of this recent 173 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 1: struggle and Isaiah, when you look at this Cardinals team, 174 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,959 Speaker 1: what has changed the most for you? When you look 175 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 1: at a team that was seven and oz on top 176 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 1: of the world and then all of a sudden has 177 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 1: Pitter pattered down the stretch, They're missing their number one threat. 178 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 1: This is pretty pretty simple with d Hops not there, 179 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,200 Speaker 1: and they're they're missing him tremendously. They don't have another 180 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:13,679 Speaker 1: dominant receiver that's on their roster. This roster was really um, 181 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 1: really cultivated around d Hop and Kyler Murray. Those were 182 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 1: the two guys that they said, Okay, we're gonna we're 183 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 1: gonna build this franchise around. And when you're missing one 184 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,680 Speaker 1: of those two elements and ones depending on the other 185 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 1: you have that you're asking other guys to step up 186 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 1: and fulfill that role, and nobody in this league can 187 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 1: step up and fulfill those those shoes of d hop. 188 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 1: But you know, these guys, these guys have have a 189 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 1: have a have a pretty good running game. They have 190 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 1: they have their two headed monster back um, their defenses 191 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 1: starting to play well as they always have UM, and 192 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 1: they're they're trying to piece it together. And I think 193 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,960 Speaker 1: that they will piece it together, but just not to 194 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 1: the levels that they were when when obviously they're at 195 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 1: full steam. No Cliff uh yes, Cliff Kingsbury squads for 196 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 1: the last three years have started fast, you know at 197 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 1: the beginning of the season. That's why everybody's like super 198 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 1: Bowl is going through Arizona. And then something mid season. 199 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: I don't know what it is, it just seems like 200 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 1: they start trending down. Maybe it's just the division that 201 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,439 Speaker 1: they're indivisional games and they just get tougher at the 202 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 1: end of the season. Injuries all of those stags. But 203 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 1: you know, you're looking at the team and I'm just 204 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 1: a piggyback off of what Isaiah said. You know, they're 205 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,439 Speaker 1: trending in the wrong direction. At this point and at 206 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 1: injuries and everything. You look across the league and just 207 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 1: see how injuries have affected them. But they've had guys 208 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,839 Speaker 1: try to pull up the slack and Christian Kirk they 209 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 1: have a guy and more and I'm sure you know 210 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 1: a lot about him, Kyle from from the draft Froom 211 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:44,959 Speaker 1: told the Speedster, and so they're putting it together even 212 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 1: with DeAndre Hopkins's absence. But Isaiah, you're right, they are missing. 213 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 1: They are missing d hop for real and AJ Green, 214 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 1: which is really kind of trippy to me because AJ 215 00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,559 Speaker 1: Green is one of a few receivers in the league 216 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 1: that has thousand receiving yards. You know, he's been ten 217 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,679 Speaker 1: ye event and his production right now, I mean, it's 218 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 1: obviously he's having a little bit of a better year 219 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,560 Speaker 1: now that de hop has been gone and the balls, 220 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 1: if more balls have come to him. But he just 221 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 1: isn't the same Aj Green that you remember from Cincinnati. 222 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 1: But one of the things that this defense has to 223 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: do is be mindful of the fact that he is 224 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,959 Speaker 1: still AJ Green, So you have to still watch him, 225 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 1: you still have to keep your eye on him. But 226 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,960 Speaker 1: for this defense, for us, it's just gonna be mitigating, 227 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 1: making sure that we don't give up the big play. 228 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 1: And we remember October nineteen from twenty twenty, Kyler Murray 229 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:37,839 Speaker 1: put it on us man, and that is the guy 230 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 1: that we have to circle, highlight and on the line. Yeah. 231 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 1: I think that's a great point because when you look 232 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,680 Speaker 1: at this Arizona offense, you still see plenty of weapons. 233 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:51,200 Speaker 1: You see Kyler Murray, you see James Connor should he 234 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 1: be healthy. Same thing with Chase Edmonds, and then aj 235 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,319 Speaker 1: Green on the outside, Rondel Moore on the other side, 236 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 1: and then Christian Kirk. They have guys to get the 237 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 1: football to Isaiah. Why why have they been so one 238 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 1: dimensional through these last couple of weeks without DeAndre Hopkins. 239 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 1: I know DeAndre Hopkins is that number one receiver, but 240 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,559 Speaker 1: is there a reason why they've seen such a massive 241 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 1: drop off in that production. I just I don't think 242 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 1: contribute it to identity, huh. I mean that that d 243 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 1: hop was such a portion of their identity that when 244 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,839 Speaker 1: he removed him out the equation now all of a 245 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,080 Speaker 1: sudden you're searching and I'm not sure if Klingsbury or 246 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 1: anybody else's that's helping and contributing to the play calling 247 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,680 Speaker 1: over there hasn't necessarily wrapped their mind around that that, hey, 248 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 1: you're not going to find somebody that does is what 249 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,439 Speaker 1: he does, so figure out something else. Right. It's kind 250 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 1: of like when when Coop is gone for the print 251 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 1: of Cowboys, like, you don't have your main dude out there, 252 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 1: he's not there. Now you have some other guys that 253 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,440 Speaker 1: are complimentary that can do some do some things as well, 254 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 1: but you have to put them in the environment to 255 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 1: do what they do successfully, not put them into Coop's 256 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,200 Speaker 1: shoes and expect them to do things. So I think 257 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,079 Speaker 1: that that's what they're still trying to wrap their mind around. 258 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 1: And they're really starting to try to lean on the 259 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 1: running game, um in the in the past game and 260 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 1: now Kylor, you're starting to see Colin Murray really start 261 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 1: to take it on his shoulders as well and start 262 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:15,200 Speaker 1: to use his feet again. And I think the you know, 263 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 1: you're absolutely right, uh, Isaiah. But when I think about 264 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins, it's just he's just not a one trick pony. 265 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 1: He's not a guy that you have some receivers in 266 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 1: the NFL, all they could do is go routes. So 267 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 1: all they could do is a little small intermediate routes. Uh, 268 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 1: he does it at all. You know, cross ends us 269 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 1: all of those things he does, and that's a big 270 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,640 Speaker 1: miss for them. You gotta understand, Like for Cliff Kingsbury, 271 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 1: he has the kind of offense that when he has 272 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 1: a weapon like Hopkins, he's going to make sure that 273 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 1: he gets every mismatch in your secondary for number ten 274 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,480 Speaker 1: and without them, you could tell like they're missing that piece. 275 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,840 Speaker 1: But you gotta we also have to give cred you know, 276 00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 1: also have to mention that Kler hasn't been hasn't been 277 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 1: healthy this season at all, and with his with his health, 278 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 1: you could see the decline in their offensive production. He's 279 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 1: tried to just kind of muscle through some of those things, 280 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 1: but a guy his size really is harder for him 281 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 1: to come out there seventy percent. You really need him 282 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 1: to be one hundred percent because of all the other 283 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 1: things that he brings to the game. Yeah, it's really interesting. 284 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 1: I mean, over the last four games one and three 285 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 1: for the Arizona Cardinals and they've only had twenty one 286 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 1: points per game, which is an offense that's still top ten. 287 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 1: They're actually eighth in the NFL in total offense at 288 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:38,200 Speaker 1: the moment, and they're tenth in passing, tenth and rushing, 289 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,640 Speaker 1: so that balanced the attack is there. But you're right, 290 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 1: it's kind of like Dak Prescott in a way. Now. 291 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 1: The Cowboys were still able to win games when Dak 292 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 1: Prescott was either muscling through injuries or just didn't look 293 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 1: right fundamentally. But heck, when you brought up Kyler Murray, 294 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 1: is he's still the right man for that position? I mean, 295 00:15:56,440 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 1: I guess that's that's an easy answer. Yes, But with that, 296 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 1: is he in a position now to still be a threat? 297 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 1: Is really what I should ask because this is a 298 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 1: team that's still going into the playoffs for the first 299 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:13,479 Speaker 1: time since twenty fifteen. They still have the numbers offensively. 300 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 1: Is he a threat to this Cowboys defense that is 301 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 1: still firing on all cylinders? The answer is yes and yes, 302 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 1: and look, I'm reminded. I went back and watched the 303 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 1: game from last year and Goss. I had to watch 304 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 1: that all boy, because I don't know, well, I just 305 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 1: wanted to see just what the scheme was to try 306 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 1: and attack him, and our plan of action was to 307 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 1: have Jalen Smith spy Kyler Murray go It didn't work out. 308 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 1: You know his ability. He's a magician in the read option. 309 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 1: You know, he's one of those guys that you know, 310 00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 1: you don't know if he has the ball or not. 311 00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 1: That he is just uncanny. Is It's like for every 312 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 1: one step the defender takes, he's taking like six steps. 313 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 1: And so we have to make sure that we maintain 314 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 1: the edge and not allow Colin Murray to get out 315 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 1: on us. We have to keep a spy on him, 316 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,080 Speaker 1: and I feel better about our spies that we have now, 317 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:19,480 Speaker 1: whether we go with guys like Ken O'Neill or if 318 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,640 Speaker 1: we go with Michael Parsons. Again, I just feel as 319 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 1: though the pressure that we're gonna be putting on him 320 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 1: is gonna be hard for him. And we talked about 321 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,880 Speaker 1: this yesterday. If we go after him and you go 322 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,359 Speaker 1: to get home, you better get home. You better not 323 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,640 Speaker 1: miss him, because by bringing that pressure, he still has 324 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 1: that ability to get outside. And you know, I've heard 325 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:43,119 Speaker 1: you say this before, Isaiah about you know, quarterbacks, the 326 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 1: hight and all that stuff doesn't matter. But you see 327 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:50,440 Speaker 1: what Arizona does for him because of his maybe hYP disadvantage. 328 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,879 Speaker 1: They keep him in the shotgun. They really try to 329 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,359 Speaker 1: roll him out and create that space for him for 330 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:59,199 Speaker 1: his lunching points. But Colin Murray has has a big arm, 331 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 1: man and Kyle you'll not both. No, man, this dude 332 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,920 Speaker 1: is a Texas high school football legend, and the things 333 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 1: that he did in high school, he's just transferred all 334 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:09,719 Speaker 1: of that to the NFL. And it's really kind of 335 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,120 Speaker 1: just like I said, it's just one of those amazing 336 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 1: things to watch. He's a special he's a special athlete. 337 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:19,280 Speaker 1: He's dominant. You already know. But there should be nobody 338 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:23,120 Speaker 1: disrespecting this man or his name the way he's capable 339 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:27,040 Speaker 1: of doing. If you choose, if you choose to step 340 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:30,239 Speaker 1: on the field and act as if he's just like 341 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 1: every other quarterback that you faced up to date, you 342 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,720 Speaker 1: will be hurt. You will be hurt. And even though 343 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 1: he doesn't have his number one receiver, he still has 344 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 1: a lot of guys and that backfield is getting healthy. 345 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,560 Speaker 1: So the things that they do with him in the shotgun, 346 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:49,440 Speaker 1: heck right zone, the zone reads, the sprint outs, the bootlegs, 347 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:51,920 Speaker 1: the you know, simply just sitting back and just trying 348 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 1: to throw the ball over your head. You have to 349 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 1: take the approach up. Do we want to pressure this guy, 350 00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 1: or do we want to just sit back into high 351 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 1: and gate his ability to throw the ball down the field, Like, 352 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,680 Speaker 1: what what's the approach we want to take? Because we've 353 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 1: seen him just take off for sixty yards on Indianapolis 354 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:10,720 Speaker 1: last week like it was nothing. I don't know why 355 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 1: they didn't put his speed on there like they do 356 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 1: everybody else. But the boy had to hit twenty miles 357 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 1: per hour easily. And what would you do if you 358 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,440 Speaker 1: were if you were making that same decision, what would 359 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:26,680 Speaker 1: you do right now? With their receivers. I'm playing single high, 360 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:30,640 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna play five men underneath, and I'm gonna 361 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 1: ensure that there's always a man in that zone or 362 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,920 Speaker 1: in that area that if he should should he choose 363 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 1: to try to cross a line of scrimmage, at any 364 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 1: point of those fifty three and a half yards, there's 365 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,359 Speaker 1: gonna be somebody within five yards of him. And I 366 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 1: would say that their their receivers can't beat our DBS, 367 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 1: and I would call our DBS out. I would say 368 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 1: that our defensive front has been kicking, but every single week, 369 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 1: giving you guys opportunities. Now I need you guys to 370 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,160 Speaker 1: go out here and just simply take these guys out 371 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,440 Speaker 1: the game, and I would say, I would challenge Digs. 372 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 1: I would tell a challenge a brown ChIL j Lou 373 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 1: if he's back all these guys, I say, step up, 374 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,359 Speaker 1: shut these guys down, because we need to ensure that 375 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:09,400 Speaker 1: he doesn't beat us with his feet. That's that's high 376 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:13,119 Speaker 1: I Q football right there, talk right there, Isaiah, that's uh, 377 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:14,960 Speaker 1: you know. And But me to think about it is 378 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,160 Speaker 1: if I was in the studio with y'all, would disagree 379 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:24,920 Speaker 1: with you, completely disagree. Well, if you put as that 380 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,440 Speaker 1: guy who's spying, who would you put as the guy 381 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,160 Speaker 1: who if Kyler Murray were to get past the line 382 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:33,080 Speaker 1: of scrimmage? Who's the guy you want to stop him? Man? 383 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,880 Speaker 1: I would put you know, my guy Cramleton, curse on him. 384 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:40,679 Speaker 1: I would put h I would put curse around him. Uh. 385 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,359 Speaker 1: And I already said Kean O'Neill. The thing is is 386 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 1: that we can't change our spots for him. We have 387 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 1: to come after him and I and I agree with 388 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 1: Isaiah with a single high look. I would definitely cry 389 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 1: out the line of scrimmage and dare them to do 390 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,439 Speaker 1: certain things they know right now when they're doing their 391 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 1: film study that the Dallas defense is coming and they're 392 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 1: gonna be applying pressure. We're gonna smoke come out and 393 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 1: those outlets. We got to make sure that we have 394 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,439 Speaker 1: a defender in his face so that he doesn't create 395 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 1: those big plays with his legs. But he's also his 396 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,640 Speaker 1: vision is uncanny and it has a great arm. So 397 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,160 Speaker 1: there's the challenge that Isaiah's talking about for the DBS, 398 00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 1: and that's the pressure of these guys at the line 399 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:20,440 Speaker 1: of scrimmage. They're gonna try and get the ball out quick. 400 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,600 Speaker 1: I don't see them doing in any other way. And 401 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 1: so if they do that, that's gonna give guys like 402 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,719 Speaker 1: Trey Von Diggs an opportunity to take one to the 403 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:31,320 Speaker 1: house because you know he's glitchy. You know he will 404 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,920 Speaker 1: jump your route. But that's the same thing that makes 405 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,360 Speaker 1: them susceptible on the back end as well, and maybe 406 00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 1: that's where the zone protection helps. Well. When we come 407 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,480 Speaker 1: back here on talking Cowboys, I'm gonna keep this conversation 408 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 1: going because I like the thought process here because, if 409 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:47,919 Speaker 1: we want to look at it, Cowboys having faced a 410 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 1: dual threat quarterback at the same caliber as Kyler Murray 411 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 1: all year long and arguably the last guy that they 412 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:57,360 Speaker 1: faced had a pretty good game against them, and will 413 00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 1: tell you who that was and how they can stop 414 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:03,760 Speaker 1: it and down potentially the best road team in the 415 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 1: entire NFL when we come back here on Talking Cowboys. 416 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:13,120 Speaker 1: There's nothing as unique as our eyes, which is why 417 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,199 Speaker 1: SLOR pioneers ways to make lenses as unique as you. 418 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:21,680 Speaker 1: Varilux for super sharp vision, Essential Blue for protection, and 419 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 1: Crisolve for freedom from glare, three cutting ex solutions in 420 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:30,240 Speaker 1: a single unique lens.

That's about it. That's 461 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:53,960 Speaker 1: about the thickness of it. Okay, that's it. Everybody is 462 00:24:53,960 --> 00:25:00,080 Speaker 1: across the room. It's it's sitting on the desk for 463 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 1: Yonder in the study for Neckharrison. Second segment here of 464 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 1: Talking Cowboys, Heck Maharrison, Isaiah, stand backup. Kyle Jomen's Chris 465 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:12,359 Speaker 1: being back at the Star running things as usual, and 466 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,119 Speaker 1: we were just talking about Kyler Murray and kind of 467 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:19,320 Speaker 1: bringing his threat back into the forefront for this Dallas 468 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,719 Speaker 1: Cowboys team, and the Cowboys haven't really faced a mobile 469 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 1: quarterback since Week three of the NFL season. And that 470 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,119 Speaker 1: was Jalen Hurts, of course, to the Philadelphia Eagles, who 471 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:33,119 Speaker 1: they'll face next week. So they'll see dual threat quarterbacks 472 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 1: in the final two weeks of the season. Because when 473 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 1: you go down the list, Carolina, no New York, No 474 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,879 Speaker 1: New England, not so much, Minnesota, Denver, Atlanta, Kansas City, 475 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,720 Speaker 1: maybe Kansas City, it's probably the second best there with 476 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:50,359 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes and his ability to escape, but he's not 477 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 1: necessarily using his speed as a weapon in that offense 478 00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:59,159 Speaker 1: to gain yardage. And that's what Kyler Murray and Jalen 479 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,119 Speaker 1: Hurts have done. But you go back to the stat 480 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:03,479 Speaker 1: line from that game in Week three, Jalen Hurts had 481 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,400 Speaker 1: a three hundred twenty six passing yards, a couple of touchdowns, 482 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 1: a couple interceptions as well, but he only had nine 483 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 1: carries for thirty five yards. So, Isaiah, I ask you 484 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 1: the question, do you feel confident in the way that 485 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:19,880 Speaker 1: the Cowboys defense can slow down a dual threat rusher 486 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:24,840 Speaker 1: or a dual threat quarterback as they haven't really faced 487 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 1: one since Week three? Yes, and the reason being is 488 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:33,399 Speaker 1: this defensive front. I'm not as a former running quarterback, 489 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:35,679 Speaker 1: a quarterback who can threaten you on the ground. The 490 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 1: only thing that ever gave me any issues was interior 491 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 1: defensive line pressure. Defensive ends running around me at doesn't 492 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:45,199 Speaker 1: bother you. Right, you can step up into pocket, but 493 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,720 Speaker 1: when you can't step up into pocket, that's when there's 494 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:52,040 Speaker 1: a problem. Gallimore, Tristan Hill, Ghost, and all our big 495 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 1: boys up front, okay or Diggi Zuola, those boys are 496 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 1: gonna be the ones that are going to present the 497 00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:00,359 Speaker 1: most mayhem for Kyler Murray in this offense because of 498 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,359 Speaker 1: that internal pressure. When you start thinking about how does 499 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 1: dan Quinn create pressure, well, he likes to line four 500 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,240 Speaker 1: guys up on the line of scrimmage or bring partons 501 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 1: over that over the guard. Okay, well, where's the most 502 00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:14,280 Speaker 1: of that pressure been coming from? D law in the inside? 503 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,359 Speaker 1: Parsons on the inside. That internal pressure has given a 504 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 1: lot of people problems, a lot of quarterbacks in his 505 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,480 Speaker 1: league issues. But it also gives these running time type 506 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:26,040 Speaker 1: quarterbacks a lot of issues because it really makes them uncomfortable. 507 00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,040 Speaker 1: They'll they'll try to step up and step out, which 508 00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,119 Speaker 1: is why I said, you need some guys all the 509 00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:32,720 Speaker 1: way across their feet three and a half yards, so 510 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 1: that don't matter where they he decides to go, there's 511 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,359 Speaker 1: somebody there. You have to rely on your defensive backs 512 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 1: to do what they do, and hopefully when he decides 513 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 1: across the line, you take a shot at him and 514 00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:48,560 Speaker 1: make them you make them reconsider that ever again, Yeah, no, no, 515 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:52,280 Speaker 1: I just in my evaluation of Colin Murray, you know, 516 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:54,720 Speaker 1: I said, I think he's one of because of his 517 00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,919 Speaker 1: because of his hype. He doesn't like to step up 518 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 1: in the pocket. He wants to get out side of 519 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:04,480 Speaker 1: the pocket. And so I think for dan Quinn, bringing 520 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:06,880 Speaker 1: pressure from one side, that's why I say, smoke him out, 521 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,280 Speaker 1: you know, make sure this guy is going to dictate 522 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:12,399 Speaker 1: his direction. Basically, bring pressure from one end and have 523 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,399 Speaker 1: guys waiting on him on the other end. But you're but, 524 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:18,919 Speaker 1: but you're absolutely correct. This interior defensive line guys like 525 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,639 Speaker 1: Osa Diggi zeul Uh like, you know, guys that we 526 00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 1: have have to get that pressure Neville Gallimore getting pressure 527 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:29,360 Speaker 1: up the middle to flush him out, because again he's 528 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:31,400 Speaker 1: so far back off the ball and once he gets 529 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,560 Speaker 1: the snap, he's already backing up looking to get the 530 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:36,840 Speaker 1: pass off. So that's why I feel like getting that 531 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:41,040 Speaker 1: pressure off the edge, forcing him to relegate to one side. Uh, 532 00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 1: it's gonna be impactful for the Dallas Cowboys defense. But 533 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:46,760 Speaker 1: on the back half of our defense, that's where a 534 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,480 Speaker 1: lot of this is gonna be come down and how 535 00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,239 Speaker 1: we defend and and Trey Von Diggs. He's giving up 536 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:56,479 Speaker 1: some big plays, but obviously we understand that he's gonna gamble, 537 00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 1: he's gonna he's gonna take an opportunity to get you know, 538 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,880 Speaker 1: get interceptions, and the same thing would be applied for 539 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 1: Anthony Brown. It's going to be very important for him 540 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 1: to stay on. But also our safeties in the back 541 00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 1: the zone coverage, we're gonna have to make sure that 542 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,960 Speaker 1: we stay true to it. We just can't punch ourselves 543 00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,720 Speaker 1: out in this game. We can't, you know, we can't 544 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 1: get to the point where you know, we've thrown everything 545 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 1: at him and he's just willing and Dillon anyway, so 546 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 1: you know, making sure that we stay disciplined, staying in 547 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,160 Speaker 1: our lanes and whether we have Michael Parsons to whomever 548 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:30,040 Speaker 1: we have spying him, we have to stay disciplined in 549 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:34,720 Speaker 1: our lanes. Because of the pressure that Arizona is anticipating here, 550 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:38,080 Speaker 1: heckma and the way that their game playing kind of 551 00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:40,480 Speaker 1: surrounds Kyler Murray and the way that he can move 552 00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:44,080 Speaker 1: and get out of the pocket. You expect quicker passes. 553 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,560 Speaker 1: Do you expect a little bit more of that underneath 554 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:51,240 Speaker 1: game from Arizona? Not necessarily, especially without DeAndre Hopkins, not 555 00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:54,720 Speaker 1: necessarily testing the deep ball, more so keeping it fifteen 556 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:58,360 Speaker 1: yards in. Do you feel like there's an opportunity there 557 00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:01,640 Speaker 1: for the Cowboys secondary to giant some more or does 558 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,280 Speaker 1: that play against their strengths Whenever you look at that 559 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,120 Speaker 1: game plan, and I say, I don't know if you'll 560 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 1: agree with this, but I just feel like when you play, 561 00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:13,000 Speaker 1: when you face it athletic aggressive defense, the thing is 562 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 1: to get them going side to side to start your game. 563 00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 1: You know, screens are going to be very important. So Kyle, 564 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:20,880 Speaker 1: when you talk about those quick throws that they make, 565 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:22,520 Speaker 1: I think they'll be trying to do set up wide 566 00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:26,120 Speaker 1: receiver and running back the screens to get this defense running. 567 00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,560 Speaker 1: That's gonna be the things that's gonna be. You know, 568 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 1: it's gonna make them have any success starting out because 569 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:36,600 Speaker 1: they can't go with a you know, waiting on gold 570 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:38,880 Speaker 1: routes to open up. There's too much pressure gonna be 571 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:40,800 Speaker 1: there so once they get And that's why I say, 572 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,800 Speaker 1: don't punch ourselves out, because if we're applying pressure and 573 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:46,120 Speaker 1: he's still able to will and deal and willing deal 574 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,960 Speaker 1: and he's able to pick up fifteen sixteen yards on 575 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,360 Speaker 1: just screens, that opens up everything else. And so I 576 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:56,320 Speaker 1: think the biggest thing for us, Kyle is tackling. We've 577 00:30:56,320 --> 00:31:01,040 Speaker 1: had games where we've missed tackles. Uh, you can't miss 578 00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:03,280 Speaker 1: tackles in this game. We've had those, you know, the 579 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 1: Devil Broncos game to be one in particular. We just 580 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,360 Speaker 1: can't have a repeat of that. And I think we've 581 00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:11,040 Speaker 1: healed a lot of that. But when you talk about 582 00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:13,800 Speaker 1: how mobile Kylin Murray is and just the quick throws, 583 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:16,080 Speaker 1: I think that's what they have to be thinking about 584 00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:19,440 Speaker 1: going into this matchup. I agree. I agree with both 585 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:20,840 Speaker 1: of you guys. I believe that they're going to try 586 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,040 Speaker 1: to get the ball in their hands of their playmakers 587 00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:26,400 Speaker 1: as quickly as possible because because of this is pressure 588 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:29,520 Speaker 1: that the defensive front has been showing. This isn't hasn't 589 00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:31,719 Speaker 1: been on one game or two game thing for our defense. 590 00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:34,080 Speaker 1: These guys have been showing up consistently. So you know 591 00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:38,320 Speaker 1: it's real, and Kyla Murray and and Kingsbury, all these guys, 592 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,120 Speaker 1: they all know that this is a real threat that 593 00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,080 Speaker 1: they have to worry about. And it's not just one guy. 594 00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:44,240 Speaker 1: It's different. When you go into a game, you're like, Okay, 595 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:46,120 Speaker 1: we have to worry about this guy and this guy. 596 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 1: If we could take care of them, then we're good. 597 00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:50,640 Speaker 1: You're not with this defense. So when you're when you're 598 00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:52,920 Speaker 1: facing a defense that's playing with a motor like these 599 00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:56,080 Speaker 1: guys are are are doing right now, you have to 600 00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:57,840 Speaker 1: get the ball out quickly. So that means get the 601 00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,000 Speaker 1: ball in Isabella's hands, get the ball in Kirk's hands, 602 00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,040 Speaker 1: running them on these quick screens and trying to get 603 00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:05,040 Speaker 1: those four or five yards. Obviously they're gonna try to 604 00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:07,240 Speaker 1: establish a running game, but if they can't, they're gonna 605 00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:08,680 Speaker 1: be trying to get that thing out to the side 606 00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:12,240 Speaker 1: and get you running and use your aggressiveness against you. 607 00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:15,160 Speaker 1: That's the one thing that obviously Dan quinn i go 608 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 1: would assume it's cautioning his defensive and say, don't be 609 00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:21,719 Speaker 1: overly aggressive, because when you're overly aggressive, you know you're 610 00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:23,960 Speaker 1: getting your your confidence is coming right, you're balling out, 611 00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:26,520 Speaker 1: you're destroying people. So every time if you come off 612 00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:28,440 Speaker 1: the ball, you got your twenty five snaps and you're like, oh, 613 00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:30,240 Speaker 1: here you go, it was one of my twenty five 614 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,760 Speaker 1: and you're going, you're running like a madman. Now you're 615 00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 1: so intent on making a play that you sometimes forget 616 00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:39,240 Speaker 1: your responsibility and that's when they can use that against 617 00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:41,040 Speaker 1: you and they hit you with the old rope adult 618 00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:43,120 Speaker 1: and get it out to your guys and they go 619 00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:45,680 Speaker 1: get good, you know, a two yard patter, a two 620 00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:47,960 Speaker 1: yard you know game really turns into like a fifteen 621 00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,239 Speaker 1: or twenty yard game. And then you start focusing on 622 00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:52,200 Speaker 1: getting out there and guarding those guys, and that's when 623 00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:54,960 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray can come in bite you in the butt. Yeah, 624 00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,080 Speaker 1: that's why I say, don't putt yourself out, you know, 625 00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:00,640 Speaker 1: don't put your stuff out. Stay disciplined, stay in your lane, 626 00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:03,320 Speaker 1: you know, make sure that you're not being that guy. 627 00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:05,960 Speaker 1: And I'm sure Dan coinn is saying the same thing. Man. Look, 628 00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,960 Speaker 1: stay in your lanes, don't over commit, because the last 629 00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:10,800 Speaker 1: game that we played, the man, these guys we want 630 00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:15,160 Speaker 1: of double reverses on us man getting getting our defense 631 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:16,680 Speaker 1: to go to one side and come back to the 632 00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,680 Speaker 1: other Obviously, I think things have changed tremendously and they 633 00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:23,720 Speaker 1: won't try that. But still the defense has to stay committed. Yeah, 634 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:25,560 Speaker 1: but but to that point. But to that point, hey, 635 00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:28,040 Speaker 1: if you're if they if they get our defense going 636 00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:31,040 Speaker 1: side to side and looking okay, hey, where's the ball going, 637 00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:33,360 Speaker 1: he's going over there, going over there, they can't go where. 638 00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:36,400 Speaker 1: They can't go forward. So that's that's the thing that 639 00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:39,240 Speaker 1: they're gonna do to try to slow down this rush. 640 00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:42,360 Speaker 1: And I didn't say blitz, right, I said rush of 641 00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,680 Speaker 1: our defense up front because they are all getting pressure 642 00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:50,080 Speaker 1: and kind of keeping along the same lines of this. 643 00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,840 Speaker 1: I mean, you guys talked about tackling earlier. Heck Man, 644 00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,360 Speaker 1: you mentioned that tackling was a big concern of you, 645 00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:58,560 Speaker 1: especially with somebody as slippery as Kyler Murray and Christian 646 00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,240 Speaker 1: Kirk and Rondel Moore, those three guys where are known 647 00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:05,000 Speaker 1: for slipping out of tackles and being able to keep 648 00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:09,160 Speaker 1: their elusiveness going. Now, there's not a ton of things 649 00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:12,160 Speaker 1: to nitpick on this defense over the last four weeks 650 00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:14,680 Speaker 1: five weeks of the season, but through this four game 651 00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:18,040 Speaker 1: winning streak, I mean, they're averaging fourteen points per game 652 00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:21,920 Speaker 1: allowed to believe ten, they're plus ten in the turnover differential. 653 00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:25,360 Speaker 1: Is tackling the number one improvement you want to see 654 00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:28,000 Speaker 1: from the defense or is there something else that might 655 00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:31,360 Speaker 1: be bothering you? Heck, look, I've already seen it, and 656 00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:34,400 Speaker 1: I only point out the tackling portion because that was 657 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:37,200 Speaker 1: something that plagued us through the middle of the season. 658 00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:39,520 Speaker 1: I just don't want that bad habit to rear its 659 00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,400 Speaker 1: ugly head again in this game because you can't afford it. 660 00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:45,000 Speaker 1: You know, we've seen them come up against the likes 661 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:47,680 Speaker 1: of Jalen Hurst. When you say, you know we're facing 662 00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:51,040 Speaker 1: a mobile quarterbacks this week three, this gives us that 663 00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:55,160 Speaker 1: opportunity right to make sure that even going into the playoffs, 664 00:34:55,160 --> 00:35:00,520 Speaker 1: we may face another mobile quarterback, some mobile quarterbacks. Look, 665 00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:02,759 Speaker 1: I just think our defense right now, these guys are 666 00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:07,839 Speaker 1: firing on all cylinders. They have everything going their way. Um, 667 00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:11,560 Speaker 1: you know when when third down, the third downs, getting 668 00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:13,600 Speaker 1: off the field on third down, the points giving up, 669 00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,000 Speaker 1: this just says to me that this is a bend 670 00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,840 Speaker 1: but don't break style. And when you look at Treyvon 671 00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,160 Speaker 1: Diggs and the amount of yards that he's given up 672 00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:25,760 Speaker 1: as a cornerback, but still his ability to create those interceptions. 673 00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:27,840 Speaker 1: You know it look it just it just fells to 674 00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:31,080 Speaker 1: how different offenses are these days, but also how different 675 00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:34,200 Speaker 1: defenses are as well. But I think the tackling bowls 676 00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:36,560 Speaker 1: into your original question, I think we've already healed those 677 00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:40,440 Speaker 1: good I agree. I don't don't. I don't know what 678 00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:42,040 Speaker 1: I will put my finger on in terms of this 679 00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:44,960 Speaker 1: defense and what they need to improve upon drastically over 680 00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:47,320 Speaker 1: these next few games. I do believe that they're still 681 00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:50,000 Speaker 1: giving up big plays. I do believe that teams still 682 00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:52,560 Speaker 1: feel confident to be able to come in and throw 683 00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:55,440 Speaker 1: against us, even though there's a threat of getting interceptions. 684 00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:58,520 Speaker 1: I think they're really willing to play those those odds. 685 00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:01,319 Speaker 1: You know, if we throught about that though, why is that? 686 00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:03,440 Speaker 1: Why do you have I haven't really given up the 687 00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:07,880 Speaker 1: big play a whole lot since what week twelve, Week thirteen? 688 00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:10,719 Speaker 1: I know, But statistically, when when you're looking at you know, 689 00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:12,239 Speaker 1: I'm not a big stats guy, but add when you're 690 00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:14,279 Speaker 1: looking at their stats, are they still twenty seventh in 691 00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:17,080 Speaker 1: the league in big plays? Right? There's still twenty seventh. 692 00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,000 Speaker 1: I mean they're first on third down, they're up there. 693 00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:21,680 Speaker 1: Obviously the obviously gon turnover on number one in the 694 00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:24,879 Speaker 1: turnover as well, but they just got to shoot your shot. 695 00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:26,680 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, to most people are gonna go 696 00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:29,080 Speaker 1: into a fight scared. You respect it, But I'm not 697 00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:31,080 Speaker 1: gonna go into it scared. So if I throw the 698 00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:33,640 Speaker 1: ball forty times a game, like yeah, two of those 699 00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,520 Speaker 1: might get got, But guess what, I still got thirty 700 00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:39,080 Speaker 1: eight other opportunities that can turn into something major. So 701 00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:41,239 Speaker 1: this is a roll of the dice. Man. You know, 702 00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:43,520 Speaker 1: the strength of this defense right now is in the 703 00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:46,480 Speaker 1: front seven. So I'm not going to come into this 704 00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:48,920 Speaker 1: game thinking that I'm a bully. Bully these guys. So 705 00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:50,720 Speaker 1: what's the best thing I could do? Try to protect 706 00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:52,520 Speaker 1: it up, get it out to my to my playmakers. 707 00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:54,960 Speaker 1: Let them run with the ball because like he said, Ben, 708 00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,040 Speaker 1: but don't break. Okay, well let them boys, Ben, Then 709 00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:58,840 Speaker 1: let them be in. Let's be in the like Beckham, 710 00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:00,600 Speaker 1: all the way down the field. And then once I 711 00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:02,840 Speaker 1: get down the field, now it's my responsibi office of 712 00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:04,799 Speaker 1: coordinator to put my guys in a position to score 713 00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:07,640 Speaker 1: a touchdown and hopefully we score enough to go ahead. 714 00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:10,240 Speaker 1: And the gate with what Dallas does that's the approach 715 00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:13,120 Speaker 1: that teams are taking, and Dallas has just been winning 716 00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:16,960 Speaker 1: their their portion of the hands they're given, man, and 717 00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:20,759 Speaker 1: just thinking about that defense in that front seven going 718 00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:24,279 Speaker 1: after Kyler Murray. We mentioned yesterday that third down with 719 00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:28,480 Speaker 1: the defense, defensive front is the most entertaining part of 720 00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:31,359 Speaker 1: football games right now, and I think this is going 721 00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:33,160 Speaker 1: to be as good as he gets. I think between 722 00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:36,120 Speaker 1: the Cardinals and the Cowboys prior to the playoff time, 723 00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:38,359 Speaker 1: of course, because then it'll get even better than that 724 00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:41,520 Speaker 1: moving forward. But when we come back here on Talking Cowboys, 725 00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:46,200 Speaker 1: is this the best home team in the NFL facing 726 00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:49,200 Speaker 1: the best road team in the NFL coming up on Sunday. 727 00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:51,359 Speaker 1: We'll answer that and much more when we come back 728 00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:54,600 Speaker 1: with more Talking Cowboys.

So 783 00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:25,520 Speaker 1: I should I should preface it by saying positive news 784 00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:30,080 Speaker 1: instead of breaking news. But yes, yeah, my bad, my bad. 785 00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:32,320 Speaker 1: But yes, Dak press got fifth time in his career 786 00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:35,600 Speaker 1: that he has won the NFC Offensive Player of the Week. 787 00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:38,640 Speaker 1: And he's got he's got this thing rolling at home 788 00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:41,880 Speaker 1: thirty four points per game over four hundred and twenty 789 00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:44,719 Speaker 1: five total yards per game at home this season, both 790 00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:47,520 Speaker 1: of which are numbers that are best in the NFL. 791 00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:51,560 Speaker 1: And then you also look at the Cardinals though they 792 00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:55,280 Speaker 1: are seven and one on the road, best road record 793 00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:58,640 Speaker 1: in the NFL, and they average over thirty points per 794 00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:01,520 Speaker 1: game and two and a half take ways per game 795 00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:04,120 Speaker 1: in the NFL, which are both good enough for top three. 796 00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:06,600 Speaker 1: So heck, ma, I asked you, is this the best 797 00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:09,560 Speaker 1: home team in the league facing the best road team 798 00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:13,160 Speaker 1: come Sunday afternoon. I mean, I think based off of 799 00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:16,480 Speaker 1: those statistics that you just brought up there, yes, if 800 00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:19,160 Speaker 1: they are seven and one on the road, the Cardinals 801 00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:21,839 Speaker 1: are and we are dominating with our numbers at home, 802 00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:24,360 Speaker 1: so you know, I welcome in. And based off of 803 00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:27,319 Speaker 1: the last game, Hey, we have a bit of a 804 00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:29,879 Speaker 1: home field advantage with the crowd. Man, if we could 805 00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:32,399 Speaker 1: show up like we did versus the Washington football team, 806 00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:35,719 Speaker 1: I think that and Dak even talked about that, how 807 00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:40,200 Speaker 1: it the defense was energized by that and it caused 808 00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:43,040 Speaker 1: so many problems for the other team because of the noise. 809 00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:45,840 Speaker 1: We have to keep that going, especially through the playoffs, 810 00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:48,239 Speaker 1: having that home field advantage. But I love the way 811 00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:50,399 Speaker 1: that we produce. Now here's the other thing about it, man, 812 00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:52,440 Speaker 1: We've got to figure out how to get this thing 813 00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:55,680 Speaker 1: going strong on the road as well, because we're gonna 814 00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:59,439 Speaker 1: have to win. We may have to win a road 815 00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:03,440 Speaker 1: playoff game. Yeah, yeah, that's that's good. Were you at 816 00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:07,160 Speaker 1: the game on Sunday, I was not. I was not. Okay, 817 00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:08,960 Speaker 1: I was, I was not, but I was gonna as 818 00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:11,719 Speaker 1: he while you did go, I thought you did go, 819 00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:14,160 Speaker 1: and I was going to ask you how it compared 820 00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:17,320 Speaker 1: in terms of the atmosphere, because that's that's everything that 821 00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:20,439 Speaker 1: I've heard from you, from everyone else that actually that 822 00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:22,600 Speaker 1: went to the game, because I had some friends that 823 00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:24,239 Speaker 1: win as well, and they said it was as loud 824 00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:26,799 Speaker 1: as they've ever heard it in that building. And that's 825 00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:30,960 Speaker 1: pretty impressive seeing that they've still yet to have playoff 826 00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:34,840 Speaker 1: games there and at least here this season. So Isaiah, 827 00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:38,239 Speaker 1: same things, talking about the best home team and best 828 00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:42,040 Speaker 1: remote team in the NFL. What makes the Cardinals so 829 00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:45,040 Speaker 1: successful on the road, And like Heckman was saying, how 830 00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:48,239 Speaker 1: did the Cowboys somehow emulate that later on? I have 831 00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:50,359 Speaker 1: no idea what makes them so successful, but I do 832 00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:54,520 Speaker 1: know that I am finally excited that Dallas has home 833 00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:57,960 Speaker 1: field advantage again. And I'm not talking about the playoffs. 834 00:43:57,960 --> 00:43:59,719 Speaker 1: I'm not talking about the seedings. I'm talking about the 835 00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:02,120 Speaker 1: fact that when they show up to a T T Stadium, 836 00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:05,160 Speaker 1: that joint is rocking because because for a long time 837 00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:09,920 Speaker 1: there at and T Stadium that went to the Bougie's 838 00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:14,360 Speaker 1: the boogie. I needed the Yeah, the pea exactly. I 839 00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:18,759 Speaker 1: needed Old Texas Stadium at home field advantage. That's when 840 00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:20,759 Speaker 1: that's what I'm used to. I'm used to that place, 841 00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:23,480 Speaker 1: rocking people out there, kicking it all day, drigging the 842 00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:26,359 Speaker 1: Miller lights up there, Stone Cold, Steve Bowson, and then 843 00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:27,800 Speaker 1: when they get in there, they go in there and 844 00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:30,319 Speaker 1: go ham And that's the home field advantage. Every time 845 00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:32,440 Speaker 1: there's a big play man on defense, every time there's 846 00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:35,320 Speaker 1: a scoring on offense, the crowd goes wild, and you 847 00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:37,960 Speaker 1: feel that as a player, You want that, you yearn 848 00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:40,080 Speaker 1: for that as a player, and now these guys are 849 00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:43,200 Speaker 1: starting to have that same feeling at at and T Stadium. 850 00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:46,600 Speaker 1: So I want to say thank you fans. Keep doing 851 00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:49,600 Speaker 1: what you're doing because it has a direct impact on 852 00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:51,920 Speaker 1: the play of these players that step on the field. 853 00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:55,120 Speaker 1: Does that kind of go back to what we talked 854 00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:57,880 Speaker 1: about yesterday, heck, but about how there is a special 855 00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:00,160 Speaker 1: feel to this season. Do you feel like that that's 856 00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:03,560 Speaker 1: why this is starting to crescendo as opposed to maybe 857 00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:07,200 Speaker 1: a twenty eighteen season that you made the playoffs but 858 00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:10,440 Speaker 1: it still didn't necessarily feel like this. Yeah, I think 859 00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:12,960 Speaker 1: people have just been waiting. Man, you know, you're just 860 00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:16,040 Speaker 1: not sure about the team. Are they what you think 861 00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:19,120 Speaker 1: they are? And then finally they start to show you. 862 00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:21,440 Speaker 1: I mean, we're eleven and four and what else? You know, 863 00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:24,360 Speaker 1: we have number one on offense. The defense is starting 864 00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:29,040 Speaker 1: to round into shape. You know, I personally was ticked 865 00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:32,000 Speaker 1: off about the Denver game, the home game when I 866 00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:34,879 Speaker 1: saw a lot of orange out there. But obviously enough 867 00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:38,680 Speaker 1: complaints was made that has changed home field is ours 868 00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:43,680 Speaker 1: and defensively, defensively, I think that impacts them so much. Yeah, 869 00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:46,440 Speaker 1: and man, it's just it's just good to see, right, 870 00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:48,520 Speaker 1: It's just good to see where we are right now, 871 00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:52,200 Speaker 1: going through these next two games and finishing out right now. 872 00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:55,880 Speaker 1: I mean, you couldn't imagine this team at the beginning 873 00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:59,440 Speaker 1: of the season possibly being thirteen and four. I just 874 00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:02,399 Speaker 1: think about that. Think about what you what you went 875 00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:06,120 Speaker 1: through last year, and just to complete just one eighty 876 00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:08,880 Speaker 1: from where you were last season. This is all this 877 00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:11,400 Speaker 1: this this team has been revamp, retooled, or whatever re 878 00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:13,960 Speaker 1: word you want to use. But when's the last time 879 00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:16,200 Speaker 1: the Cowboys with thirteen three? I know, my rookie year 880 00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:21,839 Speaker 1: they're thirteen and three or twenty sixteen. Six seven? Okay, seven, 881 00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:25,279 Speaker 1: that's the last one. Uh no, no, no, no, no, 882 00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:30,880 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, that's sixteen bad. How how does it feel, 883 00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:33,000 Speaker 1: you guys know better than me. How does it this 884 00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:38,319 Speaker 1: feel in comparison to that year? Oh? I think, man, 885 00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:41,920 Speaker 1: it's better because you have a defense. I mean, that 886 00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:44,879 Speaker 1: offense was was next level. And the way that those 887 00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:48,000 Speaker 1: those guys were firing on all cylinders with Prescott and 888 00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:51,120 Speaker 1: Zeke and then Daz, I mean they were rolling. But 889 00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:54,680 Speaker 1: that defense was still good, but they weren't this good. 890 00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:57,600 Speaker 1: And that's what I think is different about this season 891 00:46:58,080 --> 00:47:00,440 Speaker 1: is that that that defense in its kind of what 892 00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:02,680 Speaker 1: we talked about in training camp was if you had 893 00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:05,919 Speaker 1: a mediocre defense and a top level offense, you still 894 00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:07,560 Speaker 1: have a chance to win a lot of football games. 895 00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:09,719 Speaker 1: And they did. I wouldn't say they were even an 896 00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:13,839 Speaker 1: above average defense. This defense has been dominant. And then 897 00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:16,000 Speaker 1: you turn around and say you have an offense that 898 00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:19,239 Speaker 1: has also an opportunity to be dominant. That's where I 899 00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:21,560 Speaker 1: think it is a little bit higher than twenty sixteen 900 00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:24,680 Speaker 1: as well. I'm gonna go back to oh seven, and 901 00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:27,240 Speaker 1: the reason I'm going back to seven because Terrell Owens 902 00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:30,479 Speaker 1: was on that team and that was just a team 903 00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:33,520 Speaker 1: that you just felt like they were so explosive that 904 00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:36,520 Speaker 1: they could score, and then the defense was there to match. 905 00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:41,080 Speaker 1: You know, you had some young hounds on that Cowboys 906 00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:44,160 Speaker 1: defense and No. Seven. It just felt that year. That 907 00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:46,920 Speaker 1: year felt like it was our year. It really did. 908 00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:49,640 Speaker 1: It felt like the stars were aligned. We had the 909 00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:54,080 Speaker 1: first seating with the buy and the Giants come in 910 00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:56,920 Speaker 1: and cancel Christmas. Yeah, let's go back to that. Ka. 911 00:47:57,080 --> 00:48:00,960 Speaker 1: I have trauma, But that's the last time I could 912 00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:03,719 Speaker 1: think of a defense that match when you were saying 913 00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:05,880 Speaker 1: on both sides of the ball and everything like, that 914 00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:12,080 Speaker 1: was the year that I felt like I defense matched up. Yeah, 915 00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:14,279 Speaker 1: I agree with you. And if you ask others, I 916 00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:16,560 Speaker 1: mean some might say it's been since the nineties that 917 00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:19,719 Speaker 1: the defense has matched up and there's been kind of 918 00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:21,640 Speaker 1: that go that back and forth. I agree with you. 919 00:48:21,719 --> 00:48:23,760 Speaker 1: I think that two thousand and seven team is probably 920 00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:27,200 Speaker 1: at least right now, that's the easiest comparison because that 921 00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:30,080 Speaker 1: twenty that two thousand and seven team had an opportunity 922 00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:32,759 Speaker 1: to do very special things and the same thing with 923 00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:36,680 Speaker 1: this team right now. But if if this team executes, 924 00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:39,840 Speaker 1: then they can be carried over and compared to the 925 00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:43,279 Speaker 1: nineties teams and those teams that actually did make it 926 00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:46,520 Speaker 1: to the mountaintop. And so hopefully the Cowboys keep moving 927 00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:49,120 Speaker 1: in the right direction, and we'll talk about the Cowboys 928 00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:53,440 Speaker 1: offense and NFC Offensive Player of the Week Dak Prescott 929 00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:57,880 Speaker 1: and company taking on that Cardinals defense that seems to 930 00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:00,520 Speaker 1: like the offense does find a rhythm on the road, 931 00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:02,839 Speaker 1: and we'll see if they can can keep that from 932 00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:05,640 Speaker 1: happening and keep their momentum rolling as well. But that 933 00:49:05,719 --> 00:49:08,480 Speaker 1: doesn't for us here on Talking Cowboys today. Hope you 934 00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:10,399 Speaker 1: had some fun with us here over the last forty 935 00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:14,239 Speaker 1: five minutes or so.
