Speaker 1: it new beeper? Who this? Do you still? When? When
Speaker 1: was the last time you owned a beeper? Never? Have
Speaker 1: never have it? I was always jealous of everybody. I
Speaker 1: was envious of those who had a beeper because I didn't.
Speaker 1: My family didn't have money to have one. You know
Speaker 1: what I did have though. You were a little past
Speaker 1: that though, right, No, no, how old are you three?
Speaker 1: Three thirty seventy thirties? Okay, well maybe not? Thanks? What
Speaker 1: was the year? What was the year of the beeper?
Speaker 1: What was that? Realm? Well, I'm forty super early nineties? Yeah,
Speaker 1: like mid nineties. I had one, like ninety five. But
Speaker 1: you had to go to a pay phone most times. Yes,
Speaker 1: you can call somebody back. Yeah really? Yeah? Say about
Speaker 1: this is zero about what a beeper is? Have you
Speaker 1: don't even know what it is? Have you ever used
Speaker 1: a payphone? Uh? No, I went to my I went
Speaker 1: with my dad one time when I was a kid
Speaker 1: to use a payphone. That was it. Yeah, I've never
Speaker 1: used one so myself. Anyways, the pay phone in my
Speaker 1: in my neighborhood, the cord was cut. It was just
Speaker 1: literally just a phone. Yeah, the payphone in my neighborhood.
Speaker 1: You didn't even put your face before COVID right there,
Speaker 1: you did. If you don't know what COVID looked like,
Speaker 1: that was it. That was the social distance. You knew
Speaker 1: not to put your face on that pane. Sometimes. Man,
Speaker 1: the generational divide between Kyle, it just it just appears
Speaker 1: at the wrong time. It does. It really does. It's
Speaker 1: really incredible. It really is like, never seen him beepers
Speaker 1: like it's just like, dude, Yeah, well you said mid
Speaker 1: nineties and I was born in the late nineties. Do
Speaker 1: you know what the skytail pager is? Oh, dude, I've
Speaker 1: never heard those two words in my life. That was
Speaker 1: like Monte montell Jordan, man, this is how we do.
Speaker 1: I didn't know the song. He got He got out
Speaker 1: the car and he had heard the skytail. The skytail
Speaker 1: was a really nice that's that's where you balled it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's when he was balling. He had the skytail. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then they came out like We're like the bootleg
Speaker 1: version for everybody who didn't have Skytail money. And it
Speaker 1: came out with the what was it, the sidekick sidekicks
Speaker 1: at the side kick sidekick was fired. You just open
Speaker 1: your phone just to check the time. Just it was there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So you hold it like this and you would flick
Speaker 1: your finger in the screen would flip up. It was amazing.
Speaker 1: You felt like base when text message just first started. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Skytail was like a keyboard underneath yeah. Us. Yeah, there
Speaker 1: was an introduction to texting, like texting used to charge
Speaker 1: you pertext, pertext. I was a part of that, Like,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, remember it. Side my dad told me about it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I remember playing like Snake on my dad's no Kia
Speaker 1: phone whenever. Oh, your dad had a head He had
Speaker 1: one of those like indestructible ones that's still somewhere. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and he like he had the Snake game. Did he
Speaker 1: have a bikeberry too? No, he never had the BlackBerry.
Speaker 1: He never got chirped. Huh No. I go back. I
Speaker 1: go all the way back to the brick, to the
Speaker 1: brick cell phone, man car phone. The only thing that
Speaker 1: makes me feel young is Mickey Spagnola. In a lot
Speaker 1: of ways, I love Mickey, but he he used to
Speaker 1: go on road games, Cowboys playing at New York. We'll
Speaker 1: talk about the Cowboys, I guess today. But he used
Speaker 1: to have to dictate his game story over the phone
Speaker 1: to the desk back at the paper back home. Wow,
Speaker 1: there was no email. He had to just read his
Speaker 1: story off of what I said. He probably had the
Speaker 1: typewriter going, but he couldn't send it. So you don't
Speaker 1: know the pain of having to write a paper on
Speaker 1: a typewriter. No, I never used it. There is no mistake,
Speaker 1: there's no room for errors. So that's why we're so
Speaker 1: tough on guys around these parts, because back then you
Speaker 1: couldn't have any miss out. And then you had then
Speaker 1: you had the user to write fine tip pen and
Speaker 1: make sure that you drew in the same funt as
Speaker 1: the rest of the paper, otherwise it would stand out.
Speaker 1: Searchical Nope, search Microsoft. Word was already a thing. By
Speaker 1: the time papers spoil that spoiled, my god, so easy.
Speaker 1: You don't even know about the colored macintages, the colored ones.
Speaker 1: But my grandpa had like an orange one. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: so I know I know what my grandpa had one.
Speaker 1: See that By the time by the time, my grandpa
Speaker 1: already had it. I already knew that it was outdated,
Speaker 1: so that I mean that you never used a floppy disk.
Speaker 1: Then I did use a floppy disk. What what? Yeah
Speaker 1: you kid me? You played the organ trow I did.
Speaker 1: But like later of vintage version where Santiago remember that
Speaker 1: guy I love love might have had a crush on her, Yeah,
Speaker 1: same same, yea she dressed, she dressed really well. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Her confidence was like, you want to get more countries,
Speaker 1: you had to go. It was Carmens diego and Jessica
Speaker 1: stop real Ye well, if yes, if you've decided this,
Speaker 1: stick around with us for the first seven minutes of
Speaker 1: the show. First off, thank you, we are your friends.
Speaker 1: Rob Any News in notes yesterday, Um for the cowboys
Speaker 1: you mean cowboys talk? Yeah? No, uh. Tony Pollard got
Speaker 1: back into practice yesterday on a limited basis. They did
Speaker 1: not practice in pads, but it was a normal Thursday
Speaker 1: in terms of their workload. So that's encouraging. For what
Speaker 1: the third, love that drop, I love that drop. Well,
Speaker 1: that's encouraging. That's you know, that's a step forward. Then
Speaker 1: I don't know if I anticipated even after talking or
Speaker 1: hearing with Mike McCarthy had to say talking with Stephen Jones,
Speaker 1: I don't know if I anticipated Pollard to get into
Speaker 1: even a limited version of practice this week. So how
Speaker 1: much confidence does this give you? And the fact that
Speaker 1: he could be available on Sunday? I think it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think again. I think they're they're cautiously optimistic. Um.
Speaker 1: The one the one guy that that jumped out on
Speaker 1: the injury report that you don't like to see is
Speaker 1: DeMarcus Lawrence had a he was limited with a foot
Speaker 1: with a foot that you know, he came back from
Speaker 1: a foot injury, So keep an eye on that. It
Speaker 1: doesn't sound like I don't think it's anything to to
Speaker 1: really have concern about this week, but we'll see. How
Speaker 1: does everything change now that they've gone back into protocols? Uh?
Speaker 1: From from a team building standpoint? Uh, did that changed?
Speaker 1: Like for you guys, how you interview players and all
Speaker 1: of that. No, Um, you know they've got us. It's
Speaker 1: either inside or outside. Plays are roped off at the podium,
Speaker 1: so we keep our distance, have the mass on That
Speaker 1: hasn't changed. But they have expanded their meeting space. The
Speaker 1: Ford Center apparently looks like it did last year. I mean,
Speaker 1: I feel like we're kind of sliding back into the
Speaker 1: last year. Then weird with their extended meeting space and
Speaker 1: they've set up chairs and stuff like that for that.
Speaker 1: So they've been trying to do that even before, really
Speaker 1: before they had that wave right after Thanksgiving. So and
Speaker 1: now every team in the league is on notice about
Speaker 1: extending their protocols. It's it's unfortunate man. Through week fifteen. Right,
Speaker 1: It's not a permanent change. It's a temporary change because
Speaker 1: of some of the numbers that are popping up. I mean,
Speaker 1: look at the Rams, look at the Browns, look at
Speaker 1: the Washington football team. You are looking across the league
Speaker 1: and seeing a spike in all of these cases. So
Speaker 1: their answer to that is let's lock down for a
Speaker 1: little bit and then we'll try and get back to
Speaker 1: what we were doing previously. Right, Yeah, for sure. And
Speaker 1: I mean the cases just trickling in. Like if if
Speaker 1: you got not occations like I do on your phone,
Speaker 1: it's either NBA or NFL. It's something new every hour.
Speaker 1: Taylor Heineke with the Washington football team just just went
Speaker 1: on the COVID list. So I mean, well, the Washington
Speaker 1: football team is being played. I mean you look at
Speaker 1: I think they had twenty one. That would make twenty
Speaker 1: two with him being added to that list. Ms rams
Speaker 1: have twenty five. I think that's crazy. Can't we need
Speaker 1: to check our defensive linemen because they were all over him,
Speaker 1: so I want to check them COVID. Yeah, good point
Speaker 1: for sure. Quite a bit Granny was camped out with him,
Speaker 1: face to face him. I remember I liked the memes
Speaker 1: that started to rise with the Randy Gregory kind of
Speaker 1: sitting there and they put them on like a picnic
Speaker 1: blanket with Taylor. It was pretty fun. Another thing, just
Speaker 1: real quick, Kyle Allen's on the reserve COVID list for
Speaker 1: Washington too, So I mean Garrett Gilbert might start for
Speaker 1: Washington this week. What I didn't even know Jared Gilbert
Speaker 1: Doble was in it. That's a schefter tweet. So that's yeah.
Speaker 1: I thought he was still in New England. I guess not. Yeah,
Speaker 1: good for Garrett. Yeah the third quarterback too, Yeah, souless tough.
Speaker 1: What about these teams, I mean all these teams that
Speaker 1: are in a position to either clinch or competing for
Speaker 1: a playoff spot, and this is happening, and the NFL
Speaker 1: is unwilling or will not waiver on canceling any games
Speaker 1: this year. This has got to be crazy. You just hope,
Speaker 1: I mean, you never want to see it, but you hope.
Speaker 1: You don't get into playoffs and you get to like
Speaker 1: super Bowl Week and this is going on. How are
Speaker 1: you not because you can't back away from the protocols? Then,
Speaker 1: I mean they're changing the protocols though they are. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: well they changed it to allow guys to get back quicker,
Speaker 1: which makes really little to no sense. I don't want
Speaker 1: to get too deep into that because I don't want
Speaker 1: to get what I'm saying. They're changing this today guys
Speaker 1: can come back and play. You're right, And that's because
Speaker 1: of the need and the necessity to not cancel any games.
Speaker 1: And it makes it it's just kind of a delicate
Speaker 1: balance in the NFL. Ells have it to choose one
Speaker 1: way or the other. Health it is, isn't it. Speaking
Speaker 1: of health, let's talk about Dak Prescott and what he
Speaker 1: had to say yesterday. Rob Phillips had a phenomenal article
Speaker 1: read it on Dallas Cowboys dot Com talking about how
Speaker 1: Dak will not call it a slump, We'll not call
Speaker 1: it a slump, so kind of outline what he said
Speaker 1: yesterday and what he wants going into the week of football.
Speaker 1: Number one, he said, I'm I am fully one hundred
Speaker 1: percent healthy, and I looked, I went back and checked it.
Speaker 1: He has not been on the injury report since the
Speaker 1: end of Falcon's week, so you want to November fifth,
Speaker 1: something like that, and he was full that week, but
Speaker 1: they just had him on there. So, like we've talked
Speaker 1: about during the week, I don't think we can talk
Speaker 1: about that and he won't talk about it. So if
Speaker 1: he says he's healthy, then he's healthy. He said, he
Speaker 1: didn't say slump. I feel like blueprint now. Slump is
Speaker 1: like the buzzword in the media now, and I'm guilty
Speaker 1: of it too. But he said, I'm not in a slump,
Speaker 1: but I'm not playing my best ball right now. I've
Speaker 1: got to be better. He owned all of that, and
Speaker 1: look the stats. The stats show it. But he sounded confident.
Speaker 1: He sounded confident that he can get it turned around.
Speaker 1: And you know, and guys have backed him. Like Zeke said,
Speaker 1: it takes eleven guys on the field to get it right.
Speaker 1: It's not just Dak, It's not just one part of
Speaker 1: the offense, Zack Martin said yesterday, Yes, it's fair to
Speaker 1: judge us offensive line wise based off the first seven
Speaker 1: games we were killing it as opposed to maybe the
Speaker 1: last few games. So everybody's owning it and and hey,
Speaker 1: this is opportunity to get it right starting Sunday. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you've got four games to figure it out. And it's
Speaker 1: nice to hear Dak Prescott not making excuses. You didn't
Speaker 1: expect that to happen. Nobody sat here at this table
Speaker 1: and sat up, what is that going to say this week?
Speaker 1: Nobody said that you knew he was going to take ownership.
Speaker 1: But what do you need to see on Sunday, heckma
Speaker 1: to know that he has taken that next step into
Speaker 1: getting back into form. Yeah, I really just the turnovers.
Speaker 1: Let me to turnovers. That would be the number one
Speaker 1: thing I think for since came into the league, he
Speaker 1: hadn't been known as being a turnover machine. And so
Speaker 1: obviously the sample size that we have, we're judging him
Speaker 1: based off of that. Some of the throws and so
Speaker 1: getting back in rhythm and sync, if you would, with
Speaker 1: the offense is going to be important, especially with the
Speaker 1: Giants defense, which I think you'll have some opportunity to
Speaker 1: do that. They're tough upfront, and I think that our
Speaker 1: offensive line is obviously going to take this challenge personally,
Speaker 1: but for the receivers, they have to be better better
Speaker 1: as well catch the ball. If we've had a lot
Speaker 1: of drops and we talk about tips and overthrows, we
Speaker 1: hadn't had any interception so far based off of that. Well,
Speaker 1: the overthrows for sure, but those are just little small
Speaker 1: things that I want to see him fixed. But I
Speaker 1: think the short passes it's gonna will work for him.
Speaker 1: But because defenses are from if you if you've looked
Speaker 1: at the Cowboys gave these defenses just saying we're not
Speaker 1: going to allow you to throw the ball down the field,
Speaker 1: so middle of the field. I'm looking for him to
Speaker 1: exploit that. Yeah, I just want to see him get
Speaker 1: back to being confident. You know, he's confident, and that's
Speaker 1: the reality. And when you're not confident at whatever it
Speaker 1: is that you do for a living, there's hesitation. And
Speaker 1: you can't have hesitation in a game that's literally depending
Speaker 1: on tensive seconds. That's what's happening with Dac right now.
Speaker 1: If he's a tenth of a second off the balls
Speaker 1: on the back shoulder instead of the front shoulder, which
Speaker 1: is then turning to turn into a ball being popped
Speaker 1: up in the air, which then it's gonna turn into
Speaker 1: a ball being intercepted if he releases the ball too
Speaker 1: high instead of you pointed down for that last tenth
Speaker 1: of a second, and the ball is going to sail
Speaker 1: it in the air and turn into end up in
Speaker 1: the hands of Collins. There's there's a lot of things
Speaker 1: that are happening because of his lack thereof confidence, and
Speaker 1: to get on track is going to take some manipulating
Speaker 1: by Kellen Moore to ensure that one we have a
Speaker 1: running game so that he doesn't feel the pressure of
Speaker 1: having to be so precise throwing the ball because he
Speaker 1: is most confident throwing the ball when he is running
Speaker 1: off a play action. When there's play action, he throws
Speaker 1: a ball with confidence because it's literally I execute my
Speaker 1: play action fake, I pop my head up, I know
Speaker 1: exactly where I'm reading, I know exactly what the coverages
Speaker 1: pre snap post snap, and I can get the ball
Speaker 1: there delivery without happening to hesitate and think that's what
Speaker 1: we have to do. But in order to do that,
Speaker 1: you have to have an effective running game. And that's
Speaker 1: literally what Amari Cooper said yesterday. He said he was asked,
Speaker 1: would you like to get the running game going? I
Speaker 1: think he was like, I would love to because you
Speaker 1: get the play action rolling into it. And they both
Speaker 1: guys Amara and Dak also, Heck was pointing out the
Speaker 1: red zone on Monday morning and Dak said it too,
Speaker 1: like one of six, you get a couple of those
Speaker 1: in the end zone. And maybe we're not talking as
Speaker 1: much about this as we are, but that being said,
Speaker 1: I mean since the bye week, for the most part,
Speaker 1: forty to three win, forty three to three win over
Speaker 1: Atlanta was good, but you know they have not been
Speaker 1: the same offense as they've been no, And I agree
Speaker 1: with what he said about that, saying that if, hey,
Speaker 1: if we would have scored twice out of the six,
Speaker 1: if it was two out of six or three out
Speaker 1: of six opposed to the one out of six in
Speaker 1: the red zone, it's probably not as much of a
Speaker 1: topic this week. You probably feel a lot better about
Speaker 1: your offense. But that's the difference between winning and losing.
Speaker 1: If your defense doesn't play exceptional football on Sunday, if
Speaker 1: you didn't have that those extra opportunities from the defense,
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden you're tied at twenty, you're
Speaker 1: down by three or four. Like, it doesn't work out
Speaker 1: the same way. So that's got to be rectified if
Speaker 1: you really want to make it work. I want to
Speaker 1: go back to play action, though, is what is the
Speaker 1: percentage on Kellen Moore and the percentage on Dak Prescott
Speaker 1: to get this offense right? If you had to say
Speaker 1: those two collectively together, what would be your percentage of
Speaker 1: needing to to figure it out this way? That's a
Speaker 1: good question, I mean, because you can't have one without
Speaker 1: the other exactly, So I guess fifty fifty. I mean
Speaker 1: because if he doesn't called plays that are you know,
Speaker 1: that are schemed up properly for the right coverage, then
Speaker 1: it's not going to work. No matter how good your
Speaker 1: quarterback play is. Huh, if your quarterback, if you if
Speaker 1: your quarterback, if your quarterback can't execute you know, because
Speaker 1: the play is there, We've seen it, right, Kellen Moore
Speaker 1: is in a good job calling the plays. Guys are
Speaker 1: open to scag overthrows it it is and doesn't help either.
Speaker 1: What what could be the downside of running play action
Speaker 1: because he hasn't done it as much lately. Why would
Speaker 1: you not run the play action and try and get
Speaker 1: it going. Is it just based off of effectiveness? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean if you're if you're not running the ball
Speaker 1: the whole, the whole ideal behind play action is getting
Speaker 1: the second level defenders to jump to the line of
Speaker 1: scrimmage right it's getting is getting the defensive linemen out
Speaker 1: of their pass rush and more so trying to put
Speaker 1: their head in holes. It's getting their linebackers to try
Speaker 1: to jump up one or two steps, which opens things
Speaker 1: up right behind them, which is typically when you get
Speaker 1: guys coming on you know, on deep ends and post
Speaker 1: routes and oval routes and all those other type of plays,
Speaker 1: or if you want to get outside the pocket, you
Speaker 1: get shots going. Again, most of his passes come from
Speaker 1: flats and on things of that action, you know, think
Speaker 1: kudo corner routes. So if you can't get the can't
Speaker 1: have those guys respect your run, they're not going to
Speaker 1: be They're not going to be aggressive enough to come up.
Speaker 1: Just like I mean, I think I showed it on
Speaker 1: I can't talk about that show yet, but one of
Speaker 1: the shows that that air here soon. When we when
Speaker 1: we have the running game going, those second level guys
Speaker 1: are hitting the holes right and they're coming up and
Speaker 1: because they're trying to stop our running and then we're
Speaker 1: able to do to plaction. But when we don't have
Speaker 1: that running game going, you run play action. Those linebackers
Speaker 1: are like, and you know, you're it might as well
Speaker 1: just be a regular pass play. At that point, we're
Speaker 1: now dropping back in coverage. Just you're wasting. You're wasting guys.
Speaker 1: You're wasting a tight end sitting in there blocking for
Speaker 1: half a second or two. You're wasting your running back
Speaker 1: coming all the way to the line of scrimmage when
Speaker 1: he could have just stayed back there in the backfield
Speaker 1: and had his eyes on what may be coming. So
Speaker 1: it's a wasted play. And that's why it's so imperative
Speaker 1: to get the running game going because of the way,
Speaker 1: like exactly what you just said, teams are not honoring it.
Speaker 1: If they're not even stepping forward when they see their
Speaker 1: play action, they are basically put splitting their defense into
Speaker 1: two parts. We're saying that the front line is going
Speaker 1: to stop the run, the back half is going to
Speaker 1: stop the pass and play action. Be damn. They're just
Speaker 1: like whatever, I'm gonna stay back here my deep third
Speaker 1: of my zone and I'm gonna play it and I will,
Speaker 1: you know, make sure that I will rely on my
Speaker 1: front five to stop the ball. And that's why that's
Speaker 1: you know, the running game is important. But you know
Speaker 1: Connor Williams coming back to it's been rumored or is
Speaker 1: nobody's saying officially that's what's happening. Okay. You know, Mike
Speaker 1: McCarthy didn't shoot it down yesterday when he was asked
Speaker 1: about it. He just said, well, it's Thursday. I'm not
Speaker 1: going to get into personnel decisions. So there may be
Speaker 1: a change at the left guard position. Let's see if
Speaker 1: that works. Let's see what that is, is something that
Speaker 1: gets us back to being able to run effectively. Jerry
Speaker 1: said at the beginning of the week that Terrence Steele
Speaker 1: is going to be the left tackle. Hadn't heard anything
Speaker 1: different on that. So still here we go again, a
Speaker 1: little bit of musical chairs going on, and then if
Speaker 1: it doesn't come out the way we think, I don't
Speaker 1: know who will point to the fact that, hey, we
Speaker 1: had a new left tackle and left guard The lucky
Speaker 1: side of that is you have had some of your
Speaker 1: okay games. I mean, maybe not your best games of
Speaker 1: the year, but some of those wins along the way.
Speaker 1: With Terrence Steele at the left tackle, Connor Williams at
Speaker 1: the left guard, and then Lyle Collins at right tackle.
Speaker 1: You've had that line, You've had that front five previously,
Speaker 1: so you know you can win with those guys, and
Speaker 1: hopefully that's something that does play a factory. I kind
Speaker 1: of want to go back to kind of play calling
Speaker 1: and motion unless you had something to add their rob No. No,
Speaker 1: I mean we talked about it Monday. I mean personally,
Speaker 1: I think, you know, I would make that switch at
Speaker 1: left guard. I just think they, you know, they looked
Speaker 1: at the penalties and said we have to do something,
Speaker 1: but they might have sacrificed overall performance at that position
Speaker 1: the last four games. And I think Connor McGovern again,
Speaker 1: I think he's a good young player, but I think
Speaker 1: Connor Williams right now to try to get something jump started,
Speaker 1: it's definitely something I think they should look at. Whether
Speaker 1: they do it or not this week, we'll see. We
Speaker 1: had a really good conversation about that on Monday. So
Speaker 1: if you want to go back and listen to Monday
Speaker 1: talking Cowboys, go do it because there was a lot
Speaker 1: of stats thrown around, pressures and whatnot, kind of around
Speaker 1: the whole situation there. I think it might have been Tuesday. Actually,
Speaker 1: just listen to both of them, Monday or Tuesday. But
Speaker 1: I want to go back to the motion and play action.
Speaker 1: Do you think prestat motion could help out with maybe
Speaker 1: freeing up some of these guys on the underneath routes
Speaker 1: even if play action isn't working. I think fly sweeps
Speaker 1: awful motions. I think so it's literally running the ball
Speaker 1: with the ball with the wide receivers. You don't. I
Speaker 1: know they're not gonna sit Zeke as much as I
Speaker 1: hate that, and they're probably gonna try to get Pollard
Speaker 1: to play. I don't like either one of those things, right.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to question the medical staff. I trust
Speaker 1: them like crazy, but I am in favor of guys
Speaker 1: getting healthy. All right, That conversation is done either, even
Speaker 1: if both of those guys are suited up. Zeke's not
Speaker 1: one hundred percent, Polis one hundred percent? So are you
Speaker 1: really being as effective? You know who is one hundred percent? Ceedee?
Speaker 1: Lambs one hundred percent, Gallops one hundred percent, Coops one
Speaker 1: hundred percent. All those guys have some wheels. All those
Speaker 1: guys have wheels. Cedric Wilson's back, Yes, yes, okay, Cedric
Speaker 1: Wilson's one hundred percent. All those guys can run. And
Speaker 1: we have given those guys the ball out of motion
Speaker 1: in the past. Let's utilize that get these guys on
Speaker 1: the edge. We saw exactly how effective Kansas City is
Speaker 1: doing the same type of deal these guys are. They're
Speaker 1: rolling now, they're back to O KC. These guys find
Speaker 1: ways to get their guys the ball at the line
Speaker 1: of scrimmage or behind the line of scrimmage all the time.
Speaker 1: And it's not always Clyde Edwards Junior or anybody else
Speaker 1: that's back. There's a lot of their receivers that are
Speaker 1: running this running game. And I feel like Connor Williams
Speaker 1: can help you out there, right. I mean his athleticism
Speaker 1: compared to Connor mcgovernor. I mean pulling the guard and
Speaker 1: putting him out in front as almost a lead blocker.
Speaker 1: I feel like actually helps you run that plate quite often.
Speaker 1: I think versus New York the first game that we
Speaker 1: played in October, it was a lot of Connor Williams
Speaker 1: and Zack Martin pulling out and Terren Steele blocking down.
Speaker 1: I think they found a way to use Terren Steele
Speaker 1: effectively in the running game as well. You know, look,
Speaker 1: I agree with you, Isaiah when you say the jet
Speaker 1: sweeps and things like that will help us get this
Speaker 1: running game established. But I also think that another caveat
Speaker 1: to that is going to be still going with screens
Speaker 1: two receivers on that side. I think spreading this defense
Speaker 1: out and making the run from side to side and
Speaker 1: then breaking that two men that over the top, that's
Speaker 1: gonna be effective. I think a lot of people said
Speaker 1: the Deebo Samuel's package for ceedee Lamb, if you spotlight
Speaker 1: or just moonlight him in that position, Okay, that's cool,
Speaker 1: But when you talk about Kansas City and the way
Speaker 1: that they use their wide receiver, he's exceptionally fast. He's
Speaker 1: just a different layout altogether. Like this is like he's
Speaker 1: so different from anything I've ever seen. So even thinking
Speaker 1: to u CD Lamb that way is like, well, does
Speaker 1: he have the same kind of speed? I just think,
Speaker 1: whatever we do, we have to get this offense back
Speaker 1: going in the ground game going as well. I know
Speaker 1: they tried the little shovel pass to Zeke. It failed
Speaker 1: it Glad it wasn't a fumble. But little things like that,
Speaker 1: I think, little wrinkles that we're trying and you know,
Speaker 1: to get the game, get our running game established, this
Speaker 1: is important. Yeah, they did against New Orleans the little
Speaker 1: screen pass run out to Zeke thirty three yards. Get
Speaker 1: the ball in your hands quickly. Ut couple tosses to
Speaker 1: CD last week, and that probably is a product of
Speaker 1: Polar not being available, just to get that speed in space.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm with you. That's actually our mail bag
Speaker 1: question today. And I think you could help Dak get
Speaker 1: in a rhythm too, a little quick short throws. Yeah,
Speaker 1: just like you know, just getting like in basketball, just
Speaker 1: get a couple of buckets early, you know, get you
Speaker 1: get your rhythm going. And I feel like that was
Speaker 1: what that was a part of the recipe for success
Speaker 1: early in the year two. I mean, the underneath of
Speaker 1: the tin yard marker was always there. You had open
Speaker 1: guys receivers either Lamb or Cooper and Gallup. I don't
Speaker 1: know if Rus really in the fold at that point yet,
Speaker 1: but he could do it. As well, doesn't matter. Just
Speaker 1: get somebody in a rhythm. And I think that's what
Speaker 1: we want to see from the Cowboys heading into Sunday.
Speaker 1: When we come back though here on Talking Cowboys, let's
Speaker 1: see who we think is going to get into the rhythm.
Speaker 1: We give our draft Kings players to watch. We're gonna

Speaker 1: It could always be the Draft Kings side of our
Speaker 1: friends over at Draft Kings have us again giving you
Speaker 1: our players to watch this week special thanks to Draft Kings.
Speaker 1: Here's the four guys. We're gonna start at the top.
Speaker 1: Who has Ceedee Lamb because he's a little pricey, but
Speaker 1: if you look at the fantasy points per game, that
Speaker 1: man seventeen point two points per game. He's been pretty
Speaker 1: looking pretty good and against a pretty downright bad opponent, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: and you get what you pay for, guys. So you've
Speaker 1: heard that before, and yeah, man, you gotta go with
Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb here as Ceedee Lamb was cooking biscuits the
Speaker 1: last time he faced the Giants, and so four receptions
Speaker 1: ninety four yards, I believe it was that eighty four.
Speaker 1: Oh my, I can't see that. It's so so small,
Speaker 1: but it's a touchdown either way. Either way, I'm going
Speaker 1: I like it. Ceedee Lamb. I chose Michael Gallup, and
Speaker 1: I think it's because that this offense is going to
Speaker 1: open it up over the top. Oh a couple different times.
Speaker 1: They're gonna do what we talked about in the last segment.
Speaker 1: They're gonna utilize the play action. They're gonna use that
Speaker 1: play action that underneath route and then boom, they're gonna
Speaker 1: hit Michael Gallop at the top of the not available
Speaker 1: the first time they played the Giants, So they're not
Speaker 1: ready for Michael Gallup. He's at fifteen hundred dollars. You
Speaker 1: could go and get him on DraftKings Daily Fantasy. I
Speaker 1: think he's great. How about Dalton Schultz? Is it time
Speaker 1: for Schultze to have a rebound in fantasy, I think
Speaker 1: I absolutely I picked him. I absolutely think he is
Speaker 1: now it maybe a little overblown his lack of production lately,
Speaker 1: because okay, Washington only three targets one catch for four yards,
Speaker 1: but Saints five for forty three, Vegas seven forty six,
Speaker 1: eight for fifty three. He's made some plays underneath. And
Speaker 1: as Dak talked about yesterday, yes, they are putting a
Speaker 1: cap defensively on our offense and forcing us to take
Speaker 1: be patient, take the underneath stuff. And like you were saying,
Speaker 1: hit the big plays when they're there. So I think
Speaker 1: they're still going to be opportunities for Schultze to get
Speaker 1: going here. And while all these guys are making their
Speaker 1: good old claims and their pitches for why you should
Speaker 1: pick their guys, I'm telling you, guys, go out there
Speaker 1: and get yourself a nice little discount during this Christmas
Speaker 1: holiday season, and go ahead and grab you a Corey Clement.
Speaker 1: We have a hobbled Zeke, we have a hobbled Tony Pollard.
Speaker 1: And what you can do right here is get yourself
Speaker 1: a Corey Clement for the nice low price of forty
Speaker 1: three hundred dollars. The opposing rank is twenty fifth in
Speaker 1: the league. There's only thirty two teams, these guys at
Speaker 1: the bottom of barrel. And if these guys want their
Speaker 1: guys the ball out, guess who has the ball out?
Speaker 1: Corey Clement we just talked about, so Gila and get
Speaker 1: yourself a Corey Clement on sale right now forty three
Speaker 1: hundred dollars. What and zuf Tony Poller plays though he
Speaker 1: won't play as much as Corey Clement. Oh okay, whoa
Speaker 1: you can jumping out of the cake for Corey Clement?
Speaker 1: Here the cake? What past he's on? Got you? Draft

Speaker 1: day I did the math. Court Clement is ranked number
Speaker 1: fifty nine on all running backs on draft Kings right now.
Speaker 1: Don't do that nine, you're trying to hurt my cakes
Speaker 1: man and has stag pasties and by the way. Those
Speaker 1: are the games at twelve and three, So what the
Speaker 1: heck was done? He's got a mental image. He cannot
Speaker 1: That's what that is. He cannot. He's saying it with
Speaker 1: his chest. Literally. I can't get it out of my
Speaker 1: head either. Now that's not okay, it just happened. I
Speaker 1: kind of want to talk about Dalton Schultz a little
Speaker 1: bit here because Dalton Schultz in a contract year coming
Speaker 1: up in this offseason with a month to go. What
Speaker 1: do you need to see from Schultz to ensure that
Speaker 1: he's worth the price tag that's surely going to come
Speaker 1: his way, because, like you said, the numbers are a
Speaker 1: little overblown. But how is he going to earn that
Speaker 1: price tag at the end of the year. Well, I
Speaker 1: think just based off what they need him to do
Speaker 1: is I'm still reeling from that common as well. Heck,
Speaker 1: they need him blocking in space to help with this
Speaker 1: run game. They definitely need that element of it. And
Speaker 1: they we talked about the red zone one for one
Speaker 1: for six last week. They need him as a threat
Speaker 1: down there as well, because you know, I think he's
Speaker 1: got He's had one touchdown after Week four, so it's
Speaker 1: been a while, you know, he's had one in there
Speaker 1: in the last couple of months, so you need to
Speaker 1: get him rolling out I think in those two areas. Yeah,
Speaker 1: our inability to attack the middle of the field I
Speaker 1: think has been really surprising over this stretch of six games.
Speaker 1: And whether it's teams are not blitzing us that are
Speaker 1: dropping back in coverage or not allowing us to go
Speaker 1: over the top, whatever it is, we have just missed
Speaker 1: this opportunity to get to the middle of the field.
Speaker 1: You said something about, you know, Zeke and his passing,
Speaker 1: his ability to catch passes out of the backfield. Attacking
Speaker 1: the middle of the field is going to be important.
Speaker 1: But Schultz, his blocking just hadn't been there. They sprinkled
Speaker 1: in sprinkle, He hadn't been goals, Yeah he had. He
Speaker 1: hadn't been much better obviously, But you know, from the
Speaker 1: tight end, we just need a lot more and that's
Speaker 1: been a group that's been hurting, and it's because of
Speaker 1: the injuries and man, you know, we talk a lot
Speaker 1: about Schultz and kind of talked down to Darwin Man,
Speaker 1: but he is maybe left a huge void in the
Speaker 1: tight end room with his injury. Yeah, Schultz has to
Speaker 1: block better, just like my guy. Heckman just said, if
Speaker 1: you're a tight end in the NFL that decides to
Speaker 1: be a type of tight end that puts his hand
Speaker 1: in the ground, a three point tight end that is
Speaker 1: three fingers, and you can't block, then you can't be effective.
Speaker 1: Reason why majority of his players are gonna come off
Speaker 1: of play action. Not many tight ends that line up
Speaker 1: with their hand in the ground just run routes straight
Speaker 1: from that position. Most of the time. You either attached
Speaker 1: tight end or you're a flex tight end. If you're
Speaker 1: a flex tight end, then you're more of the kelcs
Speaker 1: and those guys that are just gonna they can route
Speaker 1: you up. Schultz is not a route you up type
Speaker 1: tight end. So if you're not a route you up
Speaker 1: type tight end, meaning that I can route up your
Speaker 1: third best dB, or I can route up you're starting safety,
Speaker 1: then you have to be an attached tight end. And
Speaker 1: if you're attached tight end, then you need to be
Speaker 1: an extension of the offensive line. If you're blocking at
Speaker 1: the level that he's blocking right now, you're not going
Speaker 1: to be effective in the run blocking scheme. You're not
Speaker 1: gonna be effective in a pass blocking scheme, and you're
Speaker 1: not going to get the play action, because what there's
Speaker 1: nothing to actually play action off of because they don't
Speaker 1: respect our run. So how does he turn that around
Speaker 1: in four weeks though? Is that something that's possible to
Speaker 1: turn His effort in the first half of the season
Speaker 1: was substantially different than his effort now. I'm not going
Speaker 1: to say that he was an effective blocker, but I'm
Speaker 1: gonna say it was very apparent of him. He was trying,
Speaker 1: he was trying his best. And because he was trying
Speaker 1: his best as a defender, if you're a defensive end
Speaker 1: and I'm coming at you on every single time, now
Speaker 1: you might get me and be like, man, this dud's
Speaker 1: a little pest. But now when I come at you
Speaker 1: and I'm actually doing a play action, I fold you,
Speaker 1: I afford you because you're there. You had the expectation
Speaker 1: that I actually had a chance of blocking you. Now
Speaker 1: where's the energy. It's so crazy, man, Because the traditional
Speaker 1: tight ends have changed in the league. Is like it
Speaker 1: do they even have traditional I mean, guys would come
Speaker 1: out of college and you know, nineties eight, whatever it was,
Speaker 1: and they would have to be able to block. I mean,
Speaker 1: you're just like extended tackle. Basically, a guy that has hands.
Speaker 1: Now the tight ends are pretty much extensions of the
Speaker 1: passing game and exactly, and I mean, I think the
Speaker 1: evolution of the position, I think, and the way that
Speaker 1: offensive coordinators are trying to get guys involved has changed
Speaker 1: so much that when you try to go back to
Speaker 1: that twelve person and get guys back to being blockers,
Speaker 1: you see them struggle. And we've seen shows struggle mightily.
Speaker 1: But at the same time, I think his value to
Speaker 1: us has never been his block in a film. No, no,
Speaker 1: not at all. But it's the threat of it, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, And the thing is that sucks in this league.
Speaker 1: And as we're talking about tight ends and the evolution
Speaker 1: of it, you know, guy, you have guys like my guy,
Speaker 1: Mercedes Lewis. Mercedes Lewis with my old teammates and I
Speaker 1: played against him in college. He is the one. He's
Speaker 1: probably arguably the league's best blocking tight end. He's been
Speaker 1: that way for him. Hands and he has hands, but
Speaker 1: because he's so good at blocking, they they just kind
Speaker 1: of just just do away with the fact that he
Speaker 1: can catch until he met Aaron Rodgers. And now Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers is finding him on a consistent basis. Prior to that.
Speaker 1: If you're a good blocking tight end, guess what, you're
Speaker 1: just in it. You're a sixth lineman now, and and
Speaker 1: so you're you're not seeing as many guys that can
Speaker 1: kind of swing and do both. As we talk about
Speaker 1: the swing tackle. You're not seeing many tight ends that
Speaker 1: could put their hand in the ground and block and
Speaker 1: be dependable there and be able to go out and
Speaker 1: get them and run on routes. I love this conversation
Speaker 1: because I think this is going to be a lot
Speaker 1: of the conversation that happens this offseason of is he
Speaker 1: worth the money because he's gonna get paid, whether it's
Speaker 1: here or whether it's somewhere else, He's going to get
Speaker 1: paid at some point down the road. Question for you,
Speaker 1: if you would have cut the season at the halfway point, yes,
Speaker 1: would your offer be the same then as it would
Speaker 1: be now? Oof? No, No, I think he's in that case.
Speaker 1: I think he's lost money in that What percentage would
Speaker 1: you say would you say he lost that's tough to say.
Speaker 1: I would say twenty percent. I was gonna say about
Speaker 1: twenty five percent, thirty Yeah, something like that. So if
Speaker 1: what you would have offered him, yes, I mean he
Speaker 1: definitely has not played as well lately. The stats are
Speaker 1: still there. He's still providing an opportunity in the passing game,
Speaker 1: but with the tight end position that he plays, you
Speaker 1: need him to do so much more than that. All right,
Speaker 1: When we I'm back here on Talking Cowboys, we send
