Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
Speaker 2: Cowboys Let's go.
Speaker 3: Are you ready for a break?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 3: Are you ready for a break?
Speaker 4: Absolutely?
Speaker 3: Ready for a break?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: And so much for that.
Speaker 1: It's time for the Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: with Mbar Garcia, Brian brought Us, Patrick Walker and Derek Eagleton.
Speaker 3: It is Tuesday, October seventeenth, twenty twenty three, Season nineteen,
Speaker 3: episode number fifty two. Welcome to the latest edition All
Speaker 3: the Break. We are live from the SWBC Mortgage studios
Speaker 3: at the Star and Man. Heading into a bye week,
Speaker 3: It's so good to be able to talk about when
Speaker 3: Cowboys go and get a win that. As Dak Prescott
Speaker 3: made it clear, it was a very important win for them.
Speaker 3: I heard Jerry this morning on one on five Do
Speaker 3: three the Fan, he said the same thing. I think
Speaker 3: everybody agrees. This was a big win that they really
Speaker 3: needed to head into this bye week. Four and two
Speaker 3: feels a lot different than three and three. They go
Speaker 3: on the road and win twenty to seventeen in a thriller,
Speaker 3: really good game. And I think we all last week
Speaker 3: we were calling this game. I think everybody had close scores.
Speaker 3: We all expected to be a close game, but as
Speaker 3: the game wore on, it really was tight. We'll break
Speaker 3: all that down for you guys. I'll start first where
Speaker 3: we usually start after a game, and I'll go around
Speaker 3: the table. I want you guys to tell me what
Speaker 3: you think is the enduring storyline of this game when
Speaker 3: you look back on the Week six of the NFL season,
Speaker 3: Cowboys versus Chargers. So startth patrick.
Speaker 5: For me, the biggest thing is, as it turns out,
Speaker 5: ladies and gentlemen, Deak Prescott is not just a torso
Speaker 5: with arms and a head.
Speaker 2: He has legs. Well, he has legs, and he really
Speaker 2: yeah we knew that, yeah, but he's using him now.
Speaker 2: He's using him now.
Speaker 5: So I mean, we talked about it quite a bit
Speaker 5: over these past several weeks, and we wanted to see
Speaker 5: Dak Prescott unleash his mobility and his escapability, and it
Speaker 5: was on full display in Los Angeles against the Chargers.
Speaker 5: And you know, you could talk about the eighteen yard
Speaker 5: option run that turned into a touchdown and the fact
Speaker 5: that he hadn't used his legs actually worked in his
Speaker 5: favor in that aspect because the Chargers defenders didn't respect
Speaker 5: him enough to actually put a spy on him in that,
Speaker 5: and he took all him. He got the touchdown, and
Speaker 5: then you look at the sixty yard touchdown toss and
Speaker 5: catch to Tony Pollard.
Speaker 2: That was an escapability play.
Speaker 5: He you know, pocket broke down, as it did several
Speaker 5: times last night.
Speaker 2: He got out of there.
Speaker 5: One of the several times that Dak Prescott extended to play,
Speaker 5: bought time to get the playmakers an opportunity to get open.
Speaker 5: They got open for him. There's to catch. Tony Pollard
Speaker 5: does the rest and then you know, ceedee lamb. You know,
Speaker 5: had a big game, and you know so Dak Prescott mobility.
Speaker 5: When you put that on film, teams have to account
Speaker 5: for that, and now that they have to account for
Speaker 5: going forward, all I want to do is see consistency
Speaker 5: with that. That's added element of the offense the Cowboys
Speaker 5: have been lacking, and when the offense has been as
Speaker 5: stille as it has been, it can only help going forward.
Speaker 6: Well, for me, this game was a little too head
Speaker 6: to head for my liking. I was sweating in a
Speaker 6: few moments, so I don't like that. I need you
Speaker 6: to give me more do better, but I'll take the
Speaker 6: win and I'll celebrate it.
Speaker 3: The fourth quarter.
Speaker 7: Yeah, exactly. Man, I hate it every time time. I'm
Speaker 7: not even gonna look, but I look, and I can't.
Speaker 7: I don't.
Speaker 6: I That's what I hate about sports. But at the
Speaker 6: same time, that's what you love. But aside from Dyk,
Speaker 6: I would say, Ceeli Lamb, get as mad as.
Speaker 7: You want any time you won.
Speaker 6: I mean, he was absolutely perfect for the Cowboys. He
Speaker 6: got seven of seven receptions, got everything, one hundred and
Speaker 6: seventeen yards.
Speaker 7: I mean, he did so much for the Cowboys.
Speaker 6: And again, I love the way they were able to
Speaker 6: work together. Dak in City coming off the loss against
Speaker 6: the forty nine ers and knowing and seeing the frustration
Speaker 6: that was there and it didn't. That could have turned bad,
Speaker 6: you know, but they worked on it and again there
Speaker 6: was no drama there. Dak talked about it postgame. You know,
Speaker 6: that's just kind of the nature of a competitor. And
Speaker 6: they've worked on it, so it was beautiful. There were
Speaker 6: times where Doc through a pass that I thought was
Speaker 6: targeted to someone else and then CD popped out of
Speaker 6: know where I'm at, WHOA where'd you come from? You
Speaker 6: got me there and I was loving it, so great
Speaker 6: job to them both for just kind of cleaning up
Speaker 6: the game and getting in synct this week.
Speaker 4: When you play run defense, you got to play it
Speaker 4: as a unit, and they did a great job against
Speaker 4: Austin Eckler last night. In this football game, it really
Speaker 4: started up front with Hankins his ability to show he's
Speaker 4: not just this big, massive man in the middle. He's
Speaker 4: got some agility to him, He's got movement to him,
Speaker 4: and he's got the ability to spin when they try
Speaker 4: and block him. He's able to get off blocks. He
Speaker 4: could be disrupted that way. Him and Mozzie Smith actually
Speaker 4: did a really nice job. You got a really good
Speaker 4: game from Damou and Clark the way that he was
Speaker 4: able to play down hill. There was one time on
Speaker 4: one of the better Eckler runs where he had the
Speaker 4: chance to kind of come up and make it a
Speaker 4: two yard play, ended up being a six yard run.
Speaker 4: But overall, though him Lawrence this front, Mark Bill did
Speaker 4: a super job. Yeah, Bell did a super job of
Speaker 4: controlling and not allowing. The previous week, he saw the
Speaker 4: San Franciscos offensive line, and San Francisco has a better
Speaker 4: line when you play against the line that's not as good.
Speaker 4: You got to take advantage of that. The Cowboys did
Speaker 4: a great job of doing that. Front seven football safety's
Speaker 4: getting down sometimes when they needed to make it happen.
Speaker 4: But you could watch the tape and see these guys
Speaker 4: getting off blocks all day. Austin Eckler never got going
Speaker 4: in this football game, and that was going to be
Speaker 4: a key because in week one he did. He killed
Speaker 4: the Dolphins and you're kind of thinking, oh, they're going
Speaker 4: to try and run the ball. When they tried to
Speaker 4: run the ball, there was no gains, no gains. Game
Speaker 4: to three game three gain a one. That's how your
Speaker 4: Cowboys played run defense yesterday.
Speaker 2: Absolutely.
Speaker 3: All right, let's start breaking down this thing. Let's start
Speaker 3: with the head man, Dak Prescott. Yesterday, he was twenty
Speaker 3: one to thirty two hundred and seventy two yards, one
Speaker 3: passing touchdown, one hundred and nine point three passer rating.
Speaker 3: In addition to that, led the team in rushing seven
Speaker 3: rushers for forty yards and one rushing touchdown. Overall. As
Speaker 3: you watch Dak Prescott play yesterday, how did you assess
Speaker 3: him on the field?
Speaker 5: I give him an A not an A plus because
Speaker 5: there are you know, a couple of throws that he'd
Speaker 5: like to have back. He talked about after the game.
Speaker 5: He hopped heavily on that throw to Tony Pollard on that
Speaker 5: deep post that he said he's going to have a
Speaker 5: nightmare about because he really wanted to get back. He
Speaker 5: had him, He had him. But aside from that, I mean,
Speaker 5: you look at what he was able to do. I
Speaker 5: just talked about what he was able to do with
Speaker 5: the legs, but the timeliness of the plays that he
Speaker 5: was able to make as well, kept the Chargers defense
Speaker 5: off balance completely for most of the evening, basically willed
Speaker 5: the Cowboys offense to critical plays and third down conversions.
Speaker 5: And then you know the efficiency of his production five
Speaker 5: point seven yards per per carry when he you know,
Speaker 5: took off and ran with the ball. So yeah, I mean,
Speaker 5: Dak Prescott, he basically did exactly what he needed to
Speaker 5: do as far as getting the offense moving when it
Speaker 5: couldn't move. Brandon Cooks, that connection came alive last night.
Speaker 5: Ceedee Lamb. You talked about it could have gone left.
Speaker 5: Instead it went right, which is where it needed to
Speaker 5: be one hundred and seventeen yards, And really that could
Speaker 5: have been a one to fifty one to seventy five
Speaker 5: yard game for ceedee lamb if they kept you know
Speaker 5: that a connection alive in the second half. So I'll
Speaker 5: give Dak Prescott a very very solid a for that.
Speaker 5: The stat line's not going to blow you away, but
Speaker 5: when you really start digging deep into it. And this
Speaker 5: was not the best night for Cowboys in pass protection
Speaker 5: as far as their front five. He was under durest
Speaker 5: quite a bit, but he was seven for nine when
Speaker 5: when pressured fo one hundred and five yards passed away
Speaker 5: in the one fifty two. Dak Prescott came to play
Speaker 5: last night.
Speaker 6: Yeah, very clean game, no turnovers, Jayleen hurts, No, just kidding.
Speaker 7: I don't have hers. I actually like him, but just
Speaker 7: a fan base to.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 6: But just a very nice job by Dak, just keeping
Speaker 6: it clean and and protecting the ball, knowing reading things well,
Speaker 6: knowing when to take off and run. He didn't have
Speaker 6: great protection from the old line, and they were struggling
Speaker 6: all night, I thought. But he did such a nice job.
Speaker 6: A lot of those passes, they were so clean and
Speaker 6: so perfect and so fast and quick that every decision
Speaker 6: he took for the nothing comes to mind that was
Speaker 6: really bad.
Speaker 5: A couple of throw like back, but there was nothing
Speaker 5: that you were like, you don't kill.
Speaker 4: The gallop. The one gallop throw was a little a
Speaker 4: little tall.
Speaker 5: Yeah, as there's not.
Speaker 7: He threw riding gallops hand and to.
Speaker 2: See he should have had Yeah, that should have been
Speaker 2: a touch.
Speaker 4: But they had one up the same the other one. Yeah.
Speaker 3: But like there were a couple of times I think,
Speaker 3: and I had a couple people hit me up on Twitter.
Speaker 3: There were a few times in the game where there
Speaker 3: were some open guys and I don't think Dak necessarily
Speaker 3: saw yeah, which again, which, yeah, that doesn't kill you
Speaker 3: as long as you're not making bad throws and throwing
Speaker 3: into cover, right, you can you can accept those, especially
Speaker 3: in the close game that was kind of nasty. Use
Speaker 3: there's a lot of things going on that doesn't kill you.
Speaker 3: So it's yeah, he didn't have a perfect night, but
Speaker 3: I think he played over all.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, he had a very good uh Final
Speaker 6: final qualification from me and everything. You see it in
Speaker 6: the stats, you see it in the way he led
Speaker 6: the team and just the way he was connecting with
Speaker 6: with different guys. And maybe it's also I don't know,
Speaker 6: because this is where he got kind of fuzzy and
Speaker 6: confusing to me, whether when it's like the player versus
Speaker 6: the play caller and what Mike McCarthy is currently doing,
Speaker 6: that's when I don't really know whose decision or who's
Speaker 6: allowing what. But hey, it worked and they got to win.
Speaker 4: They had really a big problem with the twist fronts
Speaker 4: ups up front. That's where your pressures were coming from.
Speaker 4: The Chargers decided they're going to move your offensive lineman,
Speaker 4: and that's where they've had some problems. Dak benefited greatly
Speaker 4: from the guys around him. Cook's had a great game
Speaker 4: CD as you talked about, was outstanding. The third down drive.
Speaker 4: The third down catch by Cooks that got him a
Speaker 4: first down and kept the drive going at the end
Speaker 4: was a huge play. Tony Pollard does not get it
Speaker 4: nearly enough credit for being a blitz pickup guy that
Speaker 4: he is. He is his ability to step up and
Speaker 4: square up and hit people, and sometimes it compresses him,
Speaker 4: but he stays. He knows who to hit, he knows
Speaker 4: how to cross the pocket, he knows how to stay
Speaker 4: out of the way. He's good at picking up his keys.
Speaker 4: The play that he made on sixty yards he was
Speaker 4: helping protection. Dak flushes to his right, and all of
Speaker 4: a sudden, it's like everybody's running trying to cover the
Speaker 4: outside guys and maybe Dak running with the ball, and Dak,
Speaker 4: with good vision, sees Pollard instead of Paular drifting with him.
Speaker 4: He goes straight up the field good right to the middle.
Speaker 4: Nobody's there. He breaks the tackle from Davis. Davis had
Speaker 4: a really rough game last night for them, but his
Speaker 4: ability to block and then like, oh no, we're in trouble.
Speaker 4: Now make a play, and he is able to do that.
Speaker 4: But overall, the Cowboys have got to figure out for
Speaker 4: this protection about these twist fronts. It happened in San Francisco,
Speaker 4: it happened in this week against the Chargers. They've got
Speaker 4: to kind of figure this out. They're not passing these
Speaker 4: stunts well enough, and hopefully they'll get that figured out.
Speaker 4: But the quarterback did a good job. Back did a
Speaker 4: good job. Receivers did a good job of bailing them out.
Speaker 3: On that point, how much do you think that the
Speaker 3: issues they're having right now with picking up those stunts
Speaker 3: and those twists are a result of the fact that
Speaker 3: this offensive line hasn't played together this is only second
Speaker 3: game now. Yeah, as you said, Brian, where you get
Speaker 3: in that dream now having all those guys together, do
Speaker 3: you think this is something that can get better with time.
Speaker 4: I hope it does because they're not going to practice
Speaker 4: any this week, you know, with the collective bargaining, they're
Speaker 4: going to get basically the whole week off. So anything
Speaker 4: to do game plan scheme wise, whatever going forward is
Speaker 4: going to be have to be discussed with the coaches.
Speaker 4: But yeah, it's something that they're going to see every week.
Speaker 4: That's the way it is with the league. How many
Speaker 4: years we've been around Kellyn Moore, he's never thrown a
Speaker 4: screen pass at the running back. What happened he saw
Speaker 4: previous week Dallas couldn't handle a screen pass. I would say, well,
Speaker 4: let's throw it to Eckler here and he runs it
Speaker 4: for twenty five yards or so. They're going to test
Speaker 4: you every single time. If you can't pick these twists
Speaker 4: up and you can't pass them, it's something they're going
Speaker 4: to have to work on. But it you know, maybe
Speaker 4: it is something about all the guys not playing together,
Speaker 4: but that is somewhat of a veteran group.
Speaker 2: Ye.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the left guards he's he's young, the Sinner's struggling
Speaker 4: with it a little bit, and Martin and Steele haven't
Speaker 4: been as clean as they normally are, and so that
Speaker 4: that's a little bit of a concern going forward.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the more reps, the better, I mean, bottom line,
Speaker 5: more rips, the better that we talked about a couple
Speaker 5: weeks ago, if that, I mean, the more reps these
Speaker 5: guys get. As this combination of Front five, the more
Speaker 5: the chemistry builds, the more the kind of the telepathy
Speaker 5: built as far as timing and feel being able to
Speaker 5: feel the guy next to you and knowing that if
Speaker 5: I go right, he's going to go left.
Speaker 2: If I go left, he's going to go right.
Speaker 5: So I'm optimistic that, you know, as the season goes along,
Speaker 5: they'll get better at combating that. But they're definitely going
Speaker 5: to have to get better at it before week nine
Speaker 5: because when they come out of the BI week yessy,
Speaker 5: they're hosting the Los Angeles Rams, which can be challenging
Speaker 5: as a front as well not at all, So that's
Speaker 5: going to be a good, you know, sharpening device as
Speaker 5: far as trying to make sure that you're ready for
Speaker 5: the Philadelphia Eagles because that's really going to be as
Speaker 5: far as the defensive front. You thought the forty nine
Speaker 5: ers front was bad, and it is bad as far
Speaker 5: as you know, bad boys, but the Eagles they're they're
Speaker 5: coming with the smoke, So figure it out. But to
Speaker 5: your point, one of the only ways to figure it
Speaker 5: out is to keep this unit healthy and getting reps
Speaker 5: on the field together.
Speaker 6: That's the only Sorry, I was just gonna say. You
Speaker 6: said the healthy, and that's the thing that kind of
Speaker 6: pops up in my mind because you look at them.
Speaker 6: Each guy has enough experience, some plenty of experience to
Speaker 6: make it work individually to where they're not struggling on
Speaker 6: those matchups. But then you talk about being healthy. That's
Speaker 6: the only thing that pops in my head.
Speaker 4: Because it might not be completely healthy right now. It's center,
Speaker 4: and they might not be completely healthy at.
Speaker 7: Right guard, and that may be it.
Speaker 6: Because other than that, I mean, you look up by
Speaker 6: name and experience, these weren't healthy. Should be one of
Speaker 6: the best groups you got and like around the NFL too,
Speaker 6: I would say, in my opinion in the O line,
Speaker 6: So it's just maybe it's a health issue, because I
Speaker 6: still find it hard to believe that the second week
Speaker 6: that they're all together, they're still kind of struggling this
Speaker 6: like that because the communication thing. I get it, Yeah,
Speaker 6: you need to practice and all that, but some are
Speaker 6: individual mistakes.
Speaker 7: So hopefully they figure.
Speaker 5: And let Tyrone still dealing with to your point, So,
Speaker 5: I mean, they're kind of banged up for the most part,
Speaker 5: but they're not one hundred percent healthy, and hopefully this
Speaker 5: by week will play largely into hoping that they can
Speaker 5: be as healthy as possible for two weeks from now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the.
Speaker 3: Thing that concerns me the most about this offensive line
Speaker 3: is that to a man, you can go down the line.
Speaker 3: I don't think any of them have played up to
Speaker 3: what I thought were of what standard was for each
Speaker 3: of them individually and where I've seen them play the
Speaker 3: level I've seen them play throughout their careers, varying levels
Speaker 3: of their careers because they all have different number of
Speaker 3: years in the league, but none of them are playing
Speaker 3: up to that standard. And that's the part that concerns
Speaker 3: me a little bit. But again, willing to give it
Speaker 3: time because I do think that that playing in the
Speaker 3: offensive line is we've talked about a lot, is about
Speaker 3: the unit more so than it is the person, and
Speaker 3: if they can start to figure out how the chemistry
Speaker 3: should work, maybe that solves a lot of these problems
Speaker 3: for them. We're gonna go and take our first break.
Speaker 3: We'll come back. We got more to talk about. We'll
Speaker 3: talk about the wide receivers and one connection that didn't
Speaker 3: seem to work last night, but the Cowboys kept going
Speaker 3: back to it. We'll talk about that when we come back. Dallas,

Speaker 3: Welcome Back. It is the second segment of the Break
Speaker 3: Wheel Live from the SWBC Mortgage Studios at the Star.
Speaker 3: This segment's brought to you by blockchain dot Com. Okay,
Speaker 3: here we go. So here's what we're going to do
Speaker 3: is talk about the wide receivers. Yesterday he was an
Speaker 3: interesting part. Seven of Dak's nine incompletion. Yesterday he had
Speaker 3: nine total incompletion. Seven of them were targeted at Michael
Speaker 3: Gallup seventeen of eighteen. He was seventeen or eighteen when
Speaker 3: he was throwing the Lamb, Cooks or Pollard. Only one
Speaker 3: in completion to those three wide receivers. My question for
Speaker 3: you guys is what's happening with that connection? What are
Speaker 3: you guys seeing. Is this a situation where Dak's forcing
Speaker 3: the ball? Do you think it's a situation where they're
Speaker 3: just not connecting. They're wide open opportunities and they're just
Speaker 3: missing them. What are you seeing from that connection? Particularly?
Speaker 5: I think it's interesting that when you look at the
Speaker 5: connection between Gallup and Deck, it's just it's the inconsistency
Speaker 5: that throws me off because you look at what he
Speaker 5: was able Gallup was able to do against the Arizona Cardinals.
Speaker 5: He was one of the few that had a really
Speaker 5: strong game against the Cardinals, and that included a pretty
Speaker 5: solid separation rate.
Speaker 2: Look at what you gets against the Patriots.
Speaker 5: He had a four point four yard separation rate, second
Speaker 5: best of any receiver not named Cavante Turpin forty four
Speaker 5: yards after the catch. So you've seen as recently as
Speaker 5: a couple games ago that this connection can work when
Speaker 5: it gets going early. But when things go left for
Speaker 5: them early incomplete here, overthrown pass here, it kind of
Speaker 5: sets the tone for them for the rest of the game,
Speaker 5: and that tends to be what carries the rest of
Speaker 5: the game. Like when they can't get on early and
Speaker 5: get on a heater early gallop and dack, that connection,
Speaker 5: it tends to just be ice cold the rest of
Speaker 5: the game. And don't necessarily know why other than just
Speaker 5: the psychology of maybe one of both of them just
Speaker 5: trying too hard at that point, Like you said, then
Speaker 5: it becomes forceful as opposed to it being organic. But
Speaker 5: I mean, interestingly enough, we talk about Brandon Cooks, who
Speaker 5: finally had a really good game with the Cowboys and
Speaker 5: was utilized appropriately. His rate of separation wasn't much different
Speaker 5: last night in Los Angeles than Michael Gallup. Gallup was
Speaker 5: two point one, which was the low of all receivers,
Speaker 5: Cooks was two point five. So when you go and
Speaker 5: look at the film, then you start to look at
Speaker 5: it contextually and say, Okay, what were the play calls,
Speaker 5: what was the coverage? Look things like that. But I
Speaker 5: mean Gallop in DAC they the connection exists. But again,
Speaker 5: my biggest thing is it feels that if it doesn't
Speaker 5: work on the first one to three targets, it's probably
Speaker 5: not going to work at all that game, which is
Speaker 5: different from it if it doesn't work for the first
Speaker 5: one or two targets to Lamb, they can still get
Speaker 5: it going and go on the heater.
Speaker 2: There's something different with that dynamic there.
Speaker 7: Yeah, what's weird to me.
Speaker 6: Sorry, what's weird to me is when you look at
Speaker 6: the stats and everything and I haven't gone or haven't
Speaker 6: had time to do anything this morning, but definitely, yeah,
Speaker 6: definitely haven't had time to look back at what was
Speaker 6: happening in each play and where guys were lining up
Speaker 6: and who was open or not.
Speaker 7: But it's weird to me.
Speaker 6: When you see, uh, one, Lamb should be the one
Speaker 6: with the most targeted passes and that hasn't happened. Then
Speaker 6: you look at Brandan Cooks. He finally had a game
Speaker 6: in the second half, he started showing up and all
Speaker 6: that and making it work. But still you want to
Speaker 6: see they'll target it even higher. But what blew my
Speaker 6: mind is Jake Ferguson. Historically in Dak's career, the tight
Speaker 6: end has been the safety net, safety blanket to Dak,
Speaker 6: Prescott and Jake. Yes, there have been time earlier in
Speaker 6: the season where it hasn't worked, but typically it works
Speaker 6: and he'll catch the ball and give you some game.
Speaker 7: And he only had one reception, so again it was.
Speaker 2: Opened last night. There are several times I was like, Jake, Jake, So.
Speaker 6: It's that's the That's what's strange to me because that
Speaker 6: has been the one position that tends to work for Dak.
Speaker 6: Tight end, tight end, and it's just like slowly kind
Speaker 6: of disappearing and you.
Speaker 7: Don't see it.
Speaker 6: And I don't think it's necessarily because Jake is playing
Speaker 6: a bad game because.
Speaker 7: He has caught the ball. So it's just it's just odd.
Speaker 6: And again and you guys said the word forcing, it
Speaker 6: did seem like they were forcing it. Like last night
Speaker 6: it turned into one of those where okay, just just
Speaker 6: stop and that's not to say anything necessarily fully negative
Speaker 6: about Michael Gallop because what was.
Speaker 7: That one game that he was mainly the only guy
Speaker 7: really Arizona.
Speaker 6: So he does have games like that sometimes, but it's
Speaker 6: not his tendency. He's just there's no consistency there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the word is consistency, because there's throughout his history
Speaker 4: he's had two or three games in a row and
Speaker 4: they'll disappear for five. You will never see him on
Speaker 4: the stat sheet. They tried last night to get him
Speaker 4: the football. They drug him underneath that kind of side
Speaker 4: arms it to him. He's going to try and carry
Speaker 4: him across the formation to you know, across the middle
Speaker 4: there to catch the ball and get the first down,
Speaker 4: catch it, turn up, and then Gallup is kind of hesitant, like,
Speaker 4: I'm not sure where I'm supposed to really? Am I
Speaker 4: supposed to keep going? Am I supposed to stop? He hesitates?
Speaker 4: Now the ball's yeah, third down play, and they set
Speaker 4: it up for him to get the ball. They drag
Speaker 4: it and they try and rub it with the with
Speaker 4: the crossers, with Ferguson running you know to him, and
Speaker 4: then under and then so they're going to try and
Speaker 4: get him open. But he's still he's got a little
Speaker 4: separation there that kind of side arms it because of
Speaker 4: the way the defender was. He had to just but
Speaker 4: he led him enough to where if Gallup keeps running,
Speaker 4: it's going to be a catch. The problem is, though,
Speaker 4: like I think Patrick's right about that. I think he's
Speaker 4: one of those guys. I think he's a confident player.
Speaker 4: When he lacks confidence, he doesn't play as well. The
Speaker 4: couple he body catches balls when he gets nervous. We've
Speaker 4: seen that happen to him a couple of different times.
Speaker 4: You know, he just bet his his inconsistency. Two good games,
Speaker 4: four bad games. One good game, two bad games. It's
Speaker 4: just kind of been his career and I don't think
Speaker 4: it has anything to do with his health or anything
Speaker 4: like that. I was personally in that game last night
Speaker 4: thinking if they targeted CD twenty times, there have been
Speaker 4: twenty catches. That's just how I felt him to play.
Speaker 7: And that's when you get the vibe of like having
Speaker 7: a good game one the one.
Speaker 4: Is clearly a more confident player. The other one struggles
Speaker 4: and even when they try and help him, and we
Speaker 4: always ask, well, man, they need to get him more
Speaker 4: involved in you know, you're thinking like, yeah, get Lamb
Speaker 4: more involved, great, get Gallop more involved. Well we did,
Speaker 4: but this is what happens to you occasionally. You have
Speaker 4: to be aware of that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it feels like they want it to game thinking
Speaker 3: there was a matchup they wanted to exploit with Gallop
Speaker 3: and it just didn't work. And it just didn't work.
Speaker 3: You can't happen on happen up on ten targets.
Speaker 6: Like.
Speaker 3: That's something that I think is is scripted. That's something
Speaker 3: you have. You're making an intentional.
Speaker 4: Tried to get now like we're talking about and he
Speaker 4: just stopped. Yeah, and Dak's like, bro, you got to
Speaker 4: keep going, just keep going. And because he threw the
Speaker 4: ball out in front where if he just runs it,
Speaker 4: catches it and goes, they got a first down.
Speaker 5: Yeah, when the drop touchdown was big. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 5: we talk about building confidence. That would have been massive,
Speaker 5: not only for the Cowboys offense, who really needed to
Speaker 5: get points on that on that play, but if your
Speaker 5: Gallop and you're trying to work through what might be
Speaker 5: a confidence issue because things aren't necessarily going the way
Speaker 5: you want at that point in the game, you get
Speaker 5: that touchdown. All of a sudden it's an explosive injection
Speaker 5: of confidence. But what happens you drop it and then
Speaker 5: you sink a little bit lower and then the rest
Speaker 5: of the night just becomes the rest of the night.
Speaker 3: Yeah. If there's a guy that I want to see
Speaker 3: them do that with is Brandon Cooks. Probably a little
Speaker 3: bit more than Michael Gallup, just because he's so die.
Speaker 3: There's just so much. I heard Jerry talking on the
Speaker 3: fan this morning and I agree wholeheartedly. It's like they
Speaker 3: got to use his speed up feel and you saw
Speaker 3: it last night with his furs picked it up for
Speaker 3: fourteen yards and I'd mentioned on that video. I put
Speaker 3: on Twitter what they did with Calevanti Turpin in that
Speaker 3: game against Niners, and I was like, that's the same
Speaker 3: thing they can do with Cooks. Like they're just not
Speaker 3: using him in that way. There are opportunities to be
Speaker 3: able to match him up and force safeties into decisions
Speaker 3: where they have to decide on two deep threats. And
Speaker 3: if you got a Cook's or you got a Turpin
Speaker 3: with that speed, good luck with that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they Cooks is your best route runner in my opinion. Yeah,
Speaker 4: the way on that third down catch, the way that
Speaker 4: he was able to drive Samuel. I mean he Samuel's
Speaker 4: cushion just got closed and it just turned into like,
Speaker 4: oh panic, And then you know it, Cooks just stops
Speaker 4: and turns and breaks back and there's the ball right there.
Speaker 4: And that's that's what you gotta have, man, those route
Speaker 4: runners that drive defenders off and scare the hell out
Speaker 4: of them that they're going to go buy them. But
Speaker 4: then they come back and get the ball and you
Speaker 4: keep the sticks moving.
Speaker 3: All right, we're going to take our final break. We'll
Speaker 3: come back. Let's talk a little bit of red zone offense.

Speaker 7: Going over gun stuff.
Speaker 4: You guys make a lot of good drinks in the Caribbean.

Speaker 3: Will you think Patrick stays?
Speaker 4: I think Patrick will down the longest right?
Speaker 11: Oh?
Speaker 7: No, I have long legs.
Speaker 3: I think intimidate the bull.
Speaker 2: She walked up to appointments with her fingers like, listen,
Speaker 2: you're not going to throw it.
Speaker 3: He just starts making Spanish on top of that, like
Speaker 3: the little bulls A little confused.
Speaker 4: The question would be, though, Ambar, would you wear the
Speaker 4: helmet and the chest plate thing or just the cowboy
Speaker 4: hat like the old school way of writing bulls?
Speaker 7: Are you kidding me? You can get killed riding a
Speaker 7: bull like chance? No, I'm saying like.
Speaker 2: Shook one.
Speaker 7: Definitely, hell man, you those things are dangerous.
Speaker 4: Just put the shades then, like say, Ambar, go on,
Speaker 4: if you'm gonna do that, danger, prepare danger for the
Speaker 4: gold buckle.
Speaker 3: allR we have devolved enough, we're gonna get back to it.
Speaker 4: Let's talk Calbut yeah, win one point eight million dollars
Speaker 4: for playing golf, bull riders get about twenty five thousand
Speaker 4: or something for risking their lives exactly.
Speaker 3: All right, let's go. Let's talk a little bit about
Speaker 3: this defense yesterday. Overall, really great performances, Brian, you'd mentioned
Speaker 3: it earlier, how well they did against the run by
Speaker 3: twenty three carries for fifty three yards. That was a
Speaker 3: two point three average, and echo they only allowed him
Speaker 3: twenty seven yards on fourteen carries, a one point nine average.
Speaker 3: That all being said, they went into this game having
Speaker 3: to adjust to losing their middle linebacker in Layton vander
Speaker 3: esh Were they successful in finding a way to work
Speaker 3: this defense without him?
Speaker 5: They were, and in large part because, like like Brian
Speaker 5: said in the first segment, Da Moon Clark stepped up
Speaker 5: and played very well in the run defense. He played
Speaker 5: sideline the sideline, but also he filled those gaps when
Speaker 5: they came available, and he often met Eckler at the
Speaker 5: line of scrimmage, or not far from the line of scrimmage,
Speaker 5: but glowing golden circle around Marquise Bell. What Marquise Bell
Speaker 5: was able to do against the Chargers was nothing short
Speaker 5: of stellar. It was a stupendous outing for Marquise Bell.
Speaker 5: And keep in mind, this is a young man who
Speaker 5: was basically thrown into the fire as this hybrid guy
Speaker 5: following the loss of de Marvion Overshown. This is the
Speaker 5: Overshown package that the Cowboys are basically utilizing him in.
Speaker 5: And he stepped in and he was making impact plays,
Speaker 5: you know, at several points over the first five games.
Speaker 5: But if you look at what he did against the Chargers,
Speaker 5: I mean, Eckler is having nightmares about Marquise Bell. There's
Speaker 5: one play in particular, Eckler took the handoff he was
Speaker 5: going up I think it was off the A gap,
Speaker 5: and almost as soon as he got the ball and
Speaker 5: looked up, there was Marquise Bell and there.
Speaker 2: Was some wood being laid.
Speaker 5: And then you look at the incomplete pass on Eckler
Speaker 5: and the flat that was jarred loose. I mean the
Speaker 5: Cowboys defense and the linebackers particularly, they came to play
Speaker 5: ball and we talked about it losing LVE. You can't
Speaker 5: overstate the magnitude of that, particularly in the run defense.
Speaker 5: But credit to Dan Quinn for scheming this the right way,
Speaker 5: and credit to those guys because it also goes down
Speaker 5: to execution, and boy were they executing last night.
Speaker 7: I literally have nothing else to add to that. That
Speaker 7: was well said. They did a nice job.
Speaker 6: They did a very nice job adapting and adjusting and
Speaker 6: making the changes that they needed to. I thought the
Speaker 6: most struggles that came from the defense were more on
Speaker 6: the secondary. That's where you start seeing again once again
Speaker 6: you're missing Trevon Diggs, Stephan Gilmour. At times, it's not
Speaker 6: the guy that you expected.
Speaker 2: Him because he doesn't have that speed.
Speaker 6: But then he'll make place, He'll make some place. You're like, okay, okay,
Speaker 6: let me back off a little bit. But he's just
Speaker 6: again not the consistent type of player. Darron Blend stepping
Speaker 6: up that all to say, giving the sense of Leyton
Speaker 6: vander Esch and then a guy like Trevon Diggs. Those
Speaker 6: are two key players on your defense. I thought they
Speaker 6: handle it pretty nicely.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the pressure was really really good, and I think
Speaker 4: that rattled that rattled their quarterback Herbert a little bit.
Speaker 4: I don't think there were some throws that he made,
Speaker 4: the double moves you mentioned Ambar, they got bland on
Speaker 4: a couple of those. Keenan Allen is a pain in
Speaker 4: the ass to deal with. We all understand that right now,
Speaker 4: and you know that's that's something that you know a
Speaker 4: lot of teams. The Cowboys are not the only team
Speaker 4: they had to deal with that, but he is an
Speaker 4: outstanding player. But the pressure, the consistent pressure, their ability
Speaker 4: to choke the run, I think helped them in this
Speaker 4: football game. The Chargers are team at the end that
Speaker 4: don't know how to finish. They lose a lot of
Speaker 4: games at the end because things happened to them and
Speaker 4: you forced them into those things. It wasn't just the
Speaker 4: Chargers making mistakes. It was your pressure on them, your
Speaker 4: ability to stop the run. When the the adjustment that
Speaker 4: they were able to make when Micah went down is
Speaker 4: that as an edge rusher or inside rusher, it was
Speaker 4: too safe and a linebacker. Clark, Bell and Wilson were playing,
Speaker 4: you know, and so right then and there, that was
Speaker 4: their adjustment. It was like, Okay, if we're gonna play
Speaker 4: Micah down. This is how we're going to try and
Speaker 4: match up. We're going to put two safeties down with
Speaker 4: Clark and see if we can do it. You mentioned
Speaker 4: the run through that Bell had for the tackle for loss.
Speaker 4: Did a great job of reading it. Reading the play
Speaker 4: guard tries to get him, guard doesn't get him, He's
Speaker 4: through the hole, then tackle for loss. That's the kind
Speaker 4: of awareness that you get with with Marquise Bell, the
Speaker 4: way that he's able to play, the way the ability
Speaker 4: for him to see it and get to it and
Speaker 4: finish on the play. Really good job by the defense
Speaker 4: again against a very very difficult quarterback to play against
Speaker 4: and an wide receiver that can make a lot of
Speaker 4: plays on the outside.
Speaker 5: And also credit to the defensive line as well. I
Speaker 5: mean you talk about run defense and pressures, I mean
Speaker 5: DeMarcus Lawrence just continues to set the standard as far
Speaker 5: as run defense for an edge rusher. He's just absolutely phenomenal.
Speaker 5: He's doing on the front side, He's chased him down
Speaker 5: from the backside.
Speaker 2: He has no quit in him.
Speaker 5: And then OsO Diggi zoo Will continues game after game
Speaker 5: to just level up. I mean, he's disrupting the backfield
Speaker 5: from the inside of the pocket, which, as we all know,
Speaker 5: is basically how the best way to rattle a quarterback,
Speaker 5: any quarterback, young, old, doesn't matter. Osa had a win
Speaker 5: rate of twenty five percent roughly last night one out
Speaker 5: of every four snaps he was in.
Speaker 2: The offensive backfield. We can have it.
Speaker 5: So that defensive line you talked about Jonathan Hankins so
Speaker 5: agile for his size, it's phenomenal. So yeah, Cowboys defensive
Speaker 5: line did their job and then some and then like
Speaker 5: I said, the linebacker corps and guys like Marky Spell
Speaker 5: stepping up, the mont Clark's stepping up big. It's just
Speaker 5: it was a fantastic outing. And now we get to see,
Speaker 5: hopefully after the bye week, what Rashaun Evans looks like
Speaker 5: in this unit that has just shown that they can
Speaker 5: shut down a guy like Austin Eckler.
Speaker 3: After starting off so hot. When it comes to the
Speaker 3: sacks that they were able to register over the last
Speaker 3: two weeks, Cowboys gotten only one sack in each game.
Speaker 3: Does that concern you at all?
Speaker 12: Or you do?
Speaker 3: You look at it from the standpoint of they still
Speaker 3: are leaguing the league in quarter pressure percentage, and so
Speaker 3: the pressure is more important than the sacks.
Speaker 4: Well, they got the one sack when they really needed
Speaker 4: it that closed the game. The press the pressures affected
Speaker 4: the way that they played the game. The Chargers played
Speaker 4: the game. Uh, I think that. You know, Kellen Moore
Speaker 4: knew what he was up against. You know, he tried
Speaker 4: to scheme at the best he could, but it really
Speaker 4: you know, the pressure forced them to miss some throws.
Speaker 4: His you know, he wasn't comfortable in the pocket and
Speaker 4: moving around and having to deal with the busted up
Speaker 4: finger on the left hand. I don't think helped his
Speaker 4: situation at all. But yeah, I know that there were
Speaker 4: some people that were talking to Doug Nussmyer after the
Speaker 4: game and I got a chance to visit with and
Speaker 4: they were saying that that he was even you know,
Speaker 4: Herbert is banged up. He's trying to play through some
Speaker 4: things right now, and you know, hey, there's no excuse.
Speaker 4: The Cowboys did a great job of getting after him.
Speaker 4: That's the bottom line. The pressures always affect Sacks are
Speaker 4: great turners, a great the heck, Dron Blanket had two
Speaker 4: interceptions in that game. He very easily could they.
Speaker 3: Turn over one could have been a pick.
Speaker 4: Six easier on there but the pressure was what made
Speaker 4: the difference in this football game. The sack was the
Speaker 4: one that finished it off.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and sacks will always always matter. Pressures matter as well, though,
Speaker 5: And that's the problem I have with any faction of
Speaker 5: the fan base that kind of shrugs off pressures as
Speaker 5: if they're irrelevant. They're not irrelevant. They go to the
Speaker 5: psychology of the quarterback that you're playing against. It shrinks
Speaker 5: the mental window for that quarterback and eventually they start
Speaker 5: kind of feeling pressure that's not even their phantom pressure.
Speaker 5: So that's what we kind of saw against Austin excuse me,
Speaker 5: not Austin club, but justin Herbert the Cowboys and Michael
Speaker 5: Parsons for example. Yes, he had what turned out to
Speaker 5: be a game ceiling sack led to Stefan Gilmore getting
Speaker 5: the interception. But if Micah doesn't get that sack, and
Speaker 5: if Micah doesn't have eight pressures on the night like
Speaker 5: he did, and DeMarcus Lawrence with pressures and also Digi
Speaker 5: zul with pressures, if Herbert doesn't feel those pressures, then
Speaker 5: he doesn't feel panicked in those type of situations where
Speaker 5: it feels like, oh, there's something coming on the backside.
Speaker 5: Maybe there was, maybe there was not, the fact that
Speaker 5: you made him rattle like that means pressure is matter
Speaker 5: and they will continue to matter. So yeah, you absolutely
Speaker 5: want to see the Cowboys get home more often, period,
Speaker 5: point blank.
Speaker 2: You want to see it, you need to see it.
Speaker 5: But it's also true that the fact that they're in
Speaker 5: the opposing backfield as regularly as they are, those are
Speaker 5: impacting games. Those are causing quarterbacks and those timing windows
Speaker 5: in their head to shrink, and then that impacts what
Speaker 5: they can or can't do.
Speaker 6: I think those things, Sorry, those things kind of go
Speaker 6: very hand in hand. I see pressures. I'll take pressures
Speaker 6: all day long rather than sacks. But sacks I see
Speaker 6: them as like an energy you shot, like you take
Speaker 6: a quick energy booster and then you get that confidence
Speaker 6: and you know everybody it just makes you play better
Speaker 6: along that because you got that energy. But other than that,
Speaker 6: I mean, you take pressure all day long because of
Speaker 6: everything that you just said how it affects everything else.
Speaker 2: Pressures get you wins, sex get you paid.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they need to clean up the penalties on defense.
Speaker 4: But then again, Land Clark's crew helped you in a
Speaker 4: thurday and nineteen, So it's kind of a yeah.
Speaker 7: I mean, yeah, we'll take some of those.
Speaker 5: Yeah, because then you got the pump fiasco. There was
Speaker 5: no help there. You know, that should have been fair
Speaker 5: catching appearance. And then jayln Tober was also blocked in
Speaker 5: the back on that same play. But you know, sure,
Speaker 5: you know they helped.
Speaker 2: I guess.
Speaker 3: So, how concerned you guys about this is now happened?
Speaker 3: This is a recurring theme for this defense. They lose
Speaker 3: receivers or they just get beat flat out, beat down.
Speaker 2: Feel.
Speaker 3: Now, yesterday they weren't able to convert a couple of those,
Speaker 3: but if they would have, that was two touchdowns that
Speaker 3: basically the chargers left on the board. How concerned are
Speaker 3: you that? Or it's a situation, excuse me, a situation
Speaker 3: where you look at it and say, the pressure is
Speaker 3: the reason why they can't complete those even if they
Speaker 3: lose or get beat down. Feel their pressure is so
Speaker 3: good that protects this defense.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just that's a tough one because to me,
Speaker 4: the pressures are great. But I've also said quarterbacks under
Speaker 4: pressure make completions, and you know sacks do in drives
Speaker 4: a lot of the time, take you out of field,
Speaker 4: grinche whatever. But The thing about it is, yeah, I
Speaker 4: hope that that some of the things that double move
Speaker 4: things we see. We're going to see the twists on
Speaker 4: the offensive line. We're going to see more double moves.
Speaker 4: They're going to You got to prove to these coordinators
Speaker 4: that you play against that you can handle these things.
Speaker 4: If you don't, you're going to continue to see that.
Speaker 4: But yeah, it's an absolute concern. The twist fronts on
Speaker 4: offense the double moves on defense, those are absolutely two
Speaker 4: things you need to worry about.
Speaker 5: The secondary just needs to make sure that they're not
Speaker 5: assuming the pressure is going to happen. There's a way
Speaker 5: to be confident in your defensive front to say, you
Speaker 5: know what, I know those guys are going to get
Speaker 5: back there, but I still have to remain sticky on
Speaker 5: my wide receiver. And when you see that start to happen,
Speaker 5: then you won't have the concern about guys like Keenan
Speaker 5: Allen getting behind you. And yes, this could have been
Speaker 5: a touchdown if not saved by the pressure on Herbert
Speaker 5: that then rattled him that made him overthrow the ball.
Speaker 5: Because sooner or later you're gonna run up against a
Speaker 5: quarterback that's not going to overthrow the ball brock Party,
Speaker 5: So you got to make sure on those kinds of
Speaker 5: guys that, Yeah, that's where sacks actually truly matter, because
Speaker 5: you got to take a guy like brock Party down.
Speaker 5: Otherwise he's going to find a guy like Brandon Iyuk
Speaker 5: and that Keenan Allen this situation that the charges weren't
Speaker 5: able to convert on. So Yesack, that's why I said
Speaker 5: sex matter, point blank, period, But so do pressures. But
Speaker 5: it's also contextual and when you're with the secondary, when
Speaker 5: you're looking at the secondary, and I'm confident in those guys,
Speaker 5: I mean, dron Bland, it remains even though he had
Speaker 5: his struggles last night, remains one of the best corners
Speaker 5: in the league. Still kind of finding his legs on
Speaker 5: the boundary. But we've also seen him now get interceptions
Speaker 5: on the boundary, so he'll learn as he gets more
Speaker 5: reps out there, you know. And Jordan Lewis again, I
Speaker 5: think he'll he'll come on and come better because he's
Speaker 5: been playing well with the exception of last night. And
Speaker 5: you know, Stefan Gilmore, I think they figured out or
Speaker 5: they already know that you don't have the speed of Gilmore,
Speaker 5: that you had the younger Gil, so a lot of
Speaker 5: times what they're trying to do is drag him across
Speaker 5: the field so to keep him trailing as opposed to
Speaker 5: keeping him stuck to the hill. And that's how you
Speaker 5: take advantage of it. When you don't do it that
Speaker 5: way and you try to play him straight up, you know,
Speaker 5: you get a game ceiling interception.
Speaker 2: So that's how it has to be played.
Speaker 6: I think it's I was just gonna add that it's
Speaker 6: definitely concerning, especially when you don't know how much you
Speaker 6: can trust trust your offense, because that's another thing. Last
Speaker 6: night's game, you were able to win because the offense
Speaker 6: was able to score some points, but you never know
Speaker 6: what kind of offense you're gonna get with the Cowboys.
