And so much for that. 0:00:27.640 --> 0:00:32.800 It's time for The Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com. 0:00:31.880 --> 0:00:37.920 Were with Nick Eatman, David Hellman, and bar Garcia and 0:00:38.240 --> 0:00:42.640 Derek Eagleton. It is Friday, September tenth, twenty twenty one, 0:00:42.680 --> 0:00:45.800 Season seventeen, episode number eighteen. Welcome to the the latest edition 0:00:46.120 --> 0:00:48.680 of The Break, Real Life from the s WBC Mortgage Studios. 0:00:48.680 --> 0:00:49.920 At the start and we got to talk about the 0:00:49.920 --> 0:00:53.040 Cowboys first game of the season. They lose thirty one 0:00:53.080 --> 0:00:56.000 to twenty nine, but there are mixed opinions as to 0:00:56.080 --> 0:00:58.160 what that might mean. We're gonna get into all that 0:00:58.240 --> 0:01:00.320 throughout today's show. We're gonna tell you what when right 0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:02.880 and wrong for the Cowboys, where they played well and 0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:05.280 where they had some questionable moments that maybe could have 0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:08.280 led to a win. I want to start though, with 0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:10.399 the big prevailing question I think coming out of a 0:01:10.440 --> 0:01:12.559 game like this, and we alluded to it last week, 0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:15.920 when you play as well as the Cowboys did on 0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:20.199 the road against the defending champions even though you lost 0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:22.679 the game. Do you look at this as a moral 0:01:22.760 --> 0:01:26.080 victory or do you look at as just another loss? Dave? 0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:29.679 You know what's funny, Like they didn't even play that well, No, 0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:32.080 I'm not in the grand like, not in the grand scheme, 0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:35.880 And I'm thinking about special teams missques leaving four points 0:01:35.880 --> 0:01:38.240 on the field, like they had a lot of dumb stuff, 0:01:38.280 --> 0:01:40.479 Like they didn't play the cleanest game in the world. 0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:44.280 That's what I mean by that. But like I'm sorry 0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:47.200 people that just want to win all the time, like 0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:50.440 I am hype today, Derek, I am hype, and I 0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:53.360 can't tell you I thought that was my role. What 0:01:53.400 --> 0:01:56.000 are you doing? But see, the thing is is I'm 0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:57.520 not going to try to tell you what it means 0:01:57.600 --> 0:02:01.000 for eighteen weeks of the season. But this team can 0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:05.960 hang and that matters because they could not last year. 0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:08.399 I mean, like winning is the name of the game. 0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:10.200 They're oh and one. There's nothing they can do to 0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:13.440 change that. But you got a chance every time you 0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:16.160 take the field with a quarterback like Dak Prescott. That's 0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:18.640 really that's what it boils down to for me. And 0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:20.840 if you throw in a defense, they can get takeaways. 0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:22.639 They're not gonna get four every week, but if they 0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:25.840 can reliably do it against somebody as good as Tom Brady, 0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:28.840 and maybe the Bucks aren't. Maybe the Bucks will struggle 0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:30.800 this year, maybe they're you know, we don't know, but 0:02:30.919 --> 0:02:33.160 it's a pretty good bet that they'll be good. Tom 0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:35.880 Brady's missed the playoffs how many times in his career? 0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:39.160 Like once? Seriously, how many times is Tom Brady miss 0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:41.840 the playoffs in his career? Like oh eight when he 0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:43.840 tores a c all week one, Like, didn't even count 0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:46.720 that one because Tom's h and O two right after 0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:48.840 his first of seven Super Bowls. Every other he's in 0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:51.680 the playoffs every other fricking year. So they'll probably they 0:02:51.680 --> 0:02:54.040 were an eleven win team that year, ten winting that 0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:56.880 year that they didn't get they'll probably be in the playoffs. 0:02:56.880 --> 0:02:58.800 And the Cowboys went to their house and took it 0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:02.080 to the wire and know they didn't win, But I 0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:04.959 can't knitpick that too much after what we had to 0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:08.680 sit through last year. Man. And I think sometime in 0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:11.480 the third quarter when they or maybe it was no 0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:14.360 in the I'm sorry, in the fourth quarter, when they stripped, 0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:16.880 God went on the goal line and gave Dak a 0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:18.480 chance to go down and take the lead. I was like, 0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:21.000 this is all I can really ask for, is if 0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:24.639 they're in the game. They got this badass quarterback who 0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:28.480 can make every throw and it's it's fun and it's entertaining, 0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:30.840 and I like, if you can't find some joy in 0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:32.960 that of knowing that is long like, he gives you 0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:34.840 a chance every week and that's all you can ask for. 0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:37.840 If you can't find some joy in that, maybe reevaluate 0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:40.360 why you're even doing this. Nick moral victory or just 0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:46.240 another loss? Well, because it was just another loss, but 0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:49.720 uh well, I mean moral to me, moral victory is 0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:52.120 if if you're content and I don't want to get 0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:53.560 you too far. I know you and they had a 0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:56.080 whole debate off this last year, but I listened to 0:03:56.120 --> 0:04:00.200 some of their show. I mean that's I mean, if 0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:01.800 you if you have to play that role, you have 0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:03.440 to play the role. I mean, if that's how you 0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:05.840 believe that, I'm sorry. I feel sorry for those two guys, 0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:07.760 Jesse and Nate I'm talking about. I feel sorry if 0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:09.600 they really believe that now, if they're playing the role 0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:11.360 of like we got to be on the other side, 0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:13.600 because Shannon and Kurt, you know, because I was watching 0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:15.800 some of their show, Like, then that's the role they're 0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:17.640 gonna play. If fine play the role. But like, if 0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:20.360 you if you really believe that that gets doom and 0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:22.760 gloom because of that game, I mean, then then why 0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:25.240 are you doing this? Well, why are you being a fan? 0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:27.320 Why are you you know? I mean, it's a it's 0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:31.120 a long season. If the players were excited about it, 0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:33.640 then yeah, you could have a problem. It was a 0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:37.560 quiet plane ride. It was quiet buzz ride. They were 0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:39.599 upset because they know they had had a game. But 0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:43.119 like Dave said, if that's why you how you're gonna 0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:46.800 play like it's the same it's the same reason that 0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:49.000 we got into that argument about the Pittsburgh game back. 0:04:49.000 --> 0:04:52.440 Then if you're gonna play like that, bring it every week, 0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:58.120 because I promise you this, the Eagles, the Chargers, the Giants, 0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:00.640 the Panthers, they can't hang with that if you play 0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:02.720 like that all the time. Okay, we'll get into the 0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:06.760 Charger conversation next week. That's I'm I'm I think that's 0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:11.240 a team that that well, we'll get discussing. But but 0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:13.919 they can't hang with that. We'll talk about that. Now. 0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:17.280 They will not hang with it premature, can we. I mean, 0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:18.880 I'd like to see the Chargers play a game. They 0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:20.800 got a pretty good quarterback too, and a pretty good 0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:23.000 defense too. But anyway, let's talk about that next week. Well, 0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:27.040 and again, if the Cowboys don't go and play like that, 0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:29.480 then then they won't. But I'm just saying it's if 0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:31.680 they go out and play the way that you know, 0:05:31.680 --> 0:05:33.800 and and and they've said they didn't play that great 0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:36.720 they had they had chances to win. They're not better 0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:38.920 than the Bucks. The Cowboys are not better than the Bucks, 0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:41.760 but they could have won the game. All right. I 0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:43.920 want to take you guys to two moments in the game, 0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:46.400 and I want to get what were I want you 0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:48.520 to take go back and think what were your thoughts 0:05:48.839 --> 0:05:51.719 in those moments? The first being, uh, when Greg z 0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:55.200 air Line goes onto the field with I think guess 0:05:55.200 --> 0:05:57.120 it was a minute twenty four at that point, goes 0:05:57.160 --> 0:06:00.600 onto the field to have a field goal try in 0:06:00.680 --> 0:06:03.119 order to give the Cowboys the lead. What were you thinking? 0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:05.600 Backed me up on this? They like, we say, we 0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:08.960 say a lot of stuff, and maybe we embellish. We 0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:10.960 were sitting next to each other Nick had already gone 0:06:10.960 --> 0:06:14.159 down to do his postgame stuff. I was like, they're 0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:16.520 gonna lose. Like they got a time out on the board, 0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:19.160 there's a minute twenty four. Even if he makes this kick, 0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:21.320 Brady's going to do his thing. I mean that's I 0:06:21.400 --> 0:06:24.839 just I felt it in my bones Nick before or 0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:27.160 after the kick, Before the kick, because I think it's 0:06:27.200 --> 0:06:29.440 two different things I'm making. You didn't think he was 0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:32.120 making Yeah, not really, No, I didn't. I didn't think 0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:34.960 he was gonna make the kick. Um. I mean, we've 0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:36.680 we've seen one of the worst field goals of all 0:06:36.760 --> 0:06:38.760 time earlier in the game now, and I understand he 0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:40.680 came back and had something, he had a he had 0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:42.880 a wild night. But I didn't think he was gonna 0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:45.760 make it. But when he when he did make it, 0:06:45.960 --> 0:06:49.560 I was like, yeah, I mean I thought about Aaron 0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:51.880 Rodgers and the times that we've seen that before, We've 0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:54.120 seen him going down the field, and so yeah, it 0:06:54.120 --> 0:06:57.080 just seemed like an eternity, you know, and you get 0:06:57.120 --> 0:06:59.480 anythink back to all these other miss kicks. You know, 0:07:00.000 --> 0:07:01.840 I can make another field goal, make one of these 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:04.919 other field goals, and then I know the game plays 0:07:04.920 --> 0:07:07.359 out differently. But if Tom Brady has to go score 0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:11.680 a touchdown, still still could have done it. No, no, 0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:14.640 but it's totally different. You can't just dink and dunk 0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:16.960 for eight here and four here and all that. When 0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:20.200 you gotta go get a touchdown. It's I mean, it's 0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:22.600 very hard to do. But for somebody of Tom Brady's 0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:25.880 caliber getting into field goal range with that much time, 0:07:26.040 --> 0:07:29.800 like it's it's almost easy, Like it's you gotta make 0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:31.920 it harder. I mean, yeah, they gotta. You gotta make 0:07:31.960 --> 0:07:33.800 him score six. I don't care what the defense is 0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:36.080 against him. No, a guy like that, you're given that 0:07:36.200 --> 0:07:39.480 much time, good luck with that. There isn't a defense 0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:41.240 against I mean there is, but I mean, you know, 0:07:41.280 --> 0:07:43.960 the Cowboys did it against Drew Brees and eighteen. If 0:07:43.960 --> 0:07:45.800 you remember the game, they won thirteen to ten, and 0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:48.880 it's it's doable, but it's really hard. It's why guys 0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:53.000 like Brady and Brees have forty five fifty career game 0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:57.040 winning drives. Yepp so so, did it change once he 0:07:57.080 --> 0:07:59.720 made the field goal? Nick, you mentioned that that kind 0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:02.400 of two different things. Did your opinion change at that 0:08:02.480 --> 0:08:05.520 point or did you then realize oh it twee twenty 0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:09.160 four and Brady's coming on the field. No, I'm standing 0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:11.960 next to one of our PR guys in the tunnel 0:08:12.320 --> 0:08:15.440 and I looked over at him. This is like before midfield, 0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:17.080 and I was like, do you think the Cowboys are 0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:21.760 gonna win? He goes, I do, I don't. I don't. 0:08:21.800 --> 0:08:24.120 I just think he's gonna go and do this. You know, 0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:27.760 after Diggs almost got the pick, yeah, like, oh, I 0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:30.360 thought that was actually the moment. Yeah. I was like, oh, 0:08:30.560 --> 0:08:33.560 because he's gonna come out here and get two picks 0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:36.560 off Tom Brady. But no, it just didn't happen. And 0:08:36.760 --> 0:08:38.720 you know that's why he's as good as he is, 0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:40.760 great as he is. Yeah, I'll tell you this. Like 0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:43.000 at the point when when he was about to go 0:08:43.040 --> 0:08:46.400 on the field, I had this conflict because in my 0:08:46.880 --> 0:08:50.360 in my head, I was like Tom Brady one twenty four. 0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:52.800 And I actually have a friend who was a Bucks 0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:54.840 fan who was texting me and I was I told her, 0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:57.560 I was like, yeah, he's got one twenty four. I'm 0:08:57.600 --> 0:08:59.959 not feeling really good about this, so my heads tell 0:09:00.160 --> 0:09:02.240 me one thing. But then you know how your intuition 0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:04.720 starts to be like, man, the way they've played this game, 0:09:05.440 --> 0:09:07.720 it would kind of make sense at this point that 0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:12.240 they would make some kind of miraculous play and actually 0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:16.120 win this game. And then and then the moment came 0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:21.960 one play DeMarcus comes screaming around the end, barely missus 0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:24.800 tom Brady's arm to be able to possibly knock the 0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:26.200 ball out. By the way, earlier in the game we 0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:29.560 saw Duran's armstrong hit his arm. Ball didn't come out, 0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:32.120 so there's no guarantee ball comes out even if if 0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:35.480 a tank gets him. He throws the pass, and then 0:09:35.520 --> 0:09:37.800 you got Digs almost intercepting it, and I was like 0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:40.560 that that was the moment. That was the moment that 0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:44.600 to me I would have been like, Okay, yes, this 0:09:44.640 --> 0:09:49.400 team has maybe that ability to win these kinds of games. 0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:52.080 And the fact that they couldn't convert it it kind 0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:54.720 of also said to me that's where their growth area is. 0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:57.040 You got to finish these kinds of games. You played 0:09:57.080 --> 0:10:00.720 a good game to keep you in contention. Those are 0:10:00.720 --> 0:10:03.079 the moments that make the difference between a team that's 0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:06.120 a championship caliber team and a team that just maybe 0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:08.040 makes the playoffs. And then his out I go back 0:10:08.080 --> 0:10:10.720 and forth. I don't think I completely agree with you 0:10:10.720 --> 0:10:13.040 because they made a miraculous play to save the game. 0:10:13.160 --> 0:10:16.720 The strip on Godwin was incredible, but that wasn't finishing 0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:19.040 the game. No, you can still have to finish the game. 0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:22.120 How many times? How many times are you going to 0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:25.320 make that play against Tom Brady in that offense? If 0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:28.199 you're going to beat teams like that, when you're faced 0:10:28.200 --> 0:10:30.200 with those kinds of situations, going to be to figure 0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:31.760 out if you're going to beat teams like that, you 0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:34.720 convert your third downs on your drive and go score 0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:37.360 the touchdown and put the game on great or run 0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:39.439 the blockdown and kick the fuel goal with time running out. 0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:41.880 That's great, and I agree with you. My point is 0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:44.839 once you get beyond that point and you now have 0:10:44.880 --> 0:10:47.320 a two point you have one point lead with one 0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:49.960 twenty four left, if you're going to be a championship 0:10:49.960 --> 0:10:53.080 caliber team, you gotta find a way to make a stop. 0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:55.640 We do this. We do this every time the Cowboys 0:10:55.640 --> 0:10:59.360 play a god tier quarterback. Is it's like you gotta 0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:02.200 make the play aginst Aaron Rodgers or do you got 0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:04.319 to not put your defense in a position where they're 0:11:04.400 --> 0:11:06.080 forced to be the ones that have to make the 0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:08.800 all that's fine side toward the strength of your team, 0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:13.320 which is the offense. The offense left opportunities on the field. True, 0:11:13.360 --> 0:11:15.160 we're going into the weeds. And I guess and that's 0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:18.559 why Nick's laughs. I just laughing because I'm like, you're right, 0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:21.120 like to be a championship team, but how about we 0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:23.960 just how about let's work on getting winning record again. 0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:26.640 I mean, like last year was so bad and so 0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:30.360 um and as I wrote and my you know, my 0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:34.080 story is like this is one thing I could tell 0:11:34.080 --> 0:11:36.640 about this team is they're a pretty good football team. 0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:40.199 They are a pretty good team. Now. Really good teams 0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:42.000 will go and do those things you're talking about. So 0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:44.200 it's only been one game. We haven't seen it, but 0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:47.000 I can tell right now. I didn't know anything about 0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:49.760 camp and preseason, I know anything about the team, but 0:11:49.800 --> 0:11:51.520 I know right now that this is a pretty good 0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:53.559 football team that can get better. And it's going to 0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:56.200 get better because they got the best guard in football, 0:11:56.559 --> 0:11:59.320 one of which is coming back. That won't make you 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:01.840 one to mention. Yep, I know we're gonna talk about 0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:03.760 Kellen Moore. I thought Kellen Moore should get some praise 0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:06.000 for how he played that game. All that game and 0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:08.320 just to be clear, I'm not this is not so 0:12:08.400 --> 0:12:10.200 much a knock on them as much as what I'm 0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:13.480 saying is that's their growth opportunity and Whycaeld Parson talked 0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:15.200 talked about it after the game. He said, you know, 0:12:15.200 --> 0:12:16.800 if you want to talk about where we can be better, 0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:18.880 that's the kind of plays that we got to make 0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:22.320 in order to finish games like That's my point is, yes, 0:12:22.400 --> 0:12:24.160 they're not there yet, and that doesn't mean it's a 0:12:24.200 --> 0:12:26.280 bad things. It means that if you're looking at them 0:12:26.320 --> 0:12:27.960 and you're trying to be objective about how do we 0:12:28.000 --> 0:12:30.640 play yesterday and how do we take that next step 0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:33.120 to be that next level team. That's how you take 0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:35.160 that dex level, both of the offense and for the defense. 0:12:35.280 --> 0:12:37.079 Offense has to do some stuff, defense has to do 0:12:37.120 --> 0:12:41.040 some stuff different. I don't disagree. I just and you're right, 0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:43.839 you're right, you're right, you're right, But it's the missed 0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:47.319 opportunities for me or again, offense was they had such 0:12:47.320 --> 0:12:49.800 a great night against that defense, not having Zach the 0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:53.160 way the way Kellen called that game was masterful at times, 0:12:53.720 --> 0:12:55.440 but you know, you go one of four in the 0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:59.400 red zone that option played a Zeke her things man, 0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:02.960 such a great call. Jarwin can't get the block on 0:13:03.000 --> 0:13:06.680 the edge. Ze can't make a cornerback miss or truck him. 0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:10.200 You'd like to think Zeke could truck that guy, especially 0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:12.800 when I'm looking for him on the roster and he's 0:13:12.840 --> 0:13:15.240 on he was on the practice squad. Well, that doesn't 0:13:15.240 --> 0:13:18.800 mean what it usually means fair, But I get your point. 0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:21.040 If it Darian Thompson the same way, and I would 0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:24.560 think Leonard Fournett would truck him. Good point. But you know, 0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:26.959 we saw a reverse to Cooper in the preseason to 0:13:27.360 --> 0:13:30.040 Jarvin and he did the same thing. Yeah, I mean, 0:13:30.120 --> 0:13:34.040 like out in space, saw that. I didn't think it wouldn't. 0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:36.040 I mean, do we have a new starting tight end? 0:13:36.080 --> 0:13:38.640 Is that what's going on here? Den? Surprise me? Does 0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:41.200 it surprise you guys? I'm not ready to go there 0:13:41.200 --> 0:13:43.040 just yet. It's just because it's weak one. But yeah, 0:13:43.040 --> 0:13:46.520 I mean Dalton Schultz is he got the he got 0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:48.120 the bulk of it. I still think there's gonna be 0:13:48.160 --> 0:13:50.679 plenty of opportunity for both. But it was a Schultz night. 0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:53.440 But I think we saw, I mean we saw. I 0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:56.480 mean we talked about this earlier in the preseason. This 0:13:56.520 --> 0:13:58.640 was a guy that last year put up sixty three 0:13:58.920 --> 0:14:02.160 sixty three catches. I mean like he had a lot 0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:04.280 of production for this offense last year. I didn't think 0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:06.680 it was just a foregone conclusion that Blake Jarwin just 0:14:06.720 --> 0:14:09.800 came back and assumed the starting position. I think Dalton 0:14:09.840 --> 0:14:12.400 Schultz earned the right to continue to be the starter. 0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:14.520 And it's gonna be a different type of tidda. I mean, 0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:17.520 you know, three catches for Jarman, but he also had 0:14:17.520 --> 0:14:20.880 to play down the field. That got a PI, you know, 0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:23.840 and so he's gonna be a little bit more downfield threat. 0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:26.920 But I think the way, especially with this offensive line 0:14:26.960 --> 0:14:29.040 the way it was last night, I think Dak's gonna 0:14:29.080 --> 0:14:31.360 get the ball out quick to guys like that, and 0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:33.680 I think Schultz is going to benefit a little bit 0:14:33.680 --> 0:14:35.640 more if it's just getting the ball out quick. All right, 0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:37.240 We're gonna take our first break and we come back. 0:14:37.400 --> 0:14:39.000 We'll get more into this game. We got to talk 0:14:39.000 --> 0:14:42.440 about Dak Prescott and certainly about Kellen More and kind 0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:43.760 of game he called. We'll do it when we come 0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:46.240 right back. This is Dallas Cowboys dot Com Radio.

At the start, we're talking 0:17:10.920 --> 0:17:13.000 about the Cowboys first game in the season. They lose 0:17:13.080 --> 0:17:16.600 thirty one to twenty nine. Still very a lot of 0:17:16.640 --> 0:17:18.480 positive things. I was not gonna I'm not gonna say 0:17:18.480 --> 0:17:20.320 a positive thing that they lost, but a lot of 0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:23.560 positive things to be taken out of that game. Jim No, 0:17:23.640 --> 0:17:25.919 I just like I already said it. I mean, if 0:17:26.880 --> 0:17:29.560 nobody wants them to lose, but if you're furious about 0:17:29.640 --> 0:17:33.480 this result, just take a deep breath. I would just say, 0:17:33.640 --> 0:17:36.680 enjoy this because this is sport and entertainment. So take 0:17:36.720 --> 0:17:39.560 a moment just to relax and enjoy where we are. Like, 0:17:39.800 --> 0:17:42.000 that was fun. That was That was one of those games. 0:17:42.040 --> 0:17:44.480 That was one of those games where you're like, somebody 0:17:44.520 --> 0:17:46.800 has to lose and that's unfortunate. What was that. I 0:17:46.880 --> 0:17:50.240 think it may have been third maybe early fourth quarter, 0:17:50.280 --> 0:17:52.320 when you looked over at me and you said, no 0:17:52.359 --> 0:17:54.360 matter what happens. From here on out. I'm good, That's 0:17:54.359 --> 0:17:57.600 what I mean. And you know, it would be amazing 0:17:57.640 --> 0:17:59.800 if the Cowboys made a playoff run and and all 0:17:59.840 --> 0:18:02.320 that stuff. But like all you can ask for is 0:18:02.359 --> 0:18:05.280 that the games are fun and entertaining every week, because 0:18:05.440 --> 0:18:09.800 we've no firsthand what it's like when they're not, and worst, 0:18:10.480 --> 0:18:14.160 it's like Sundays like going to a funeral every week. 0:18:14.280 --> 0:18:16.639 Like nobody wants that right, and you're not gonna win 0:18:16.680 --> 0:18:18.960 them all, but at least they're fun. So let's talk 0:18:18.960 --> 0:18:21.960 about Dak Prescott. Yesterday. He goes forty to a fifty 0:18:22.240 --> 0:18:25.960 seventy two percent completion percentage, four hundred and three yards, 0:18:26.080 --> 0:18:29.600 three touchdowns, only one interception, which I don't even think 0:18:29.640 --> 0:18:31.920 was this fault, but he got one interception, had a 0:18:31.960 --> 0:18:35.119 one hundred point one hundred and one point four rating. 0:18:35.520 --> 0:18:37.920 Tell me what was the favorite thing you saw from 0:18:37.960 --> 0:18:40.760 him yesterday in his return to the field after that injury. 0:18:40.960 --> 0:18:45.760 Nick so many to choose from, including the first play, 0:18:46.080 --> 0:18:50.679 but I thought the touchdown passed to Cooper when the 0:18:50.920 --> 0:18:54.480 snapple was low and he dropped it, picked it up 0:18:55.000 --> 0:18:58.560 and I mean without even panicking, no screen, you know, 0:18:58.640 --> 0:19:00.880 just just got his eye, his back on one where 0:19:00.880 --> 0:19:02.639 he needed to be. Is also a good trust in 0:19:02.720 --> 0:19:06.760 Tomar knowing where he is. And it reminded me of 0:19:06.800 --> 0:19:09.800 the game in twenty fifteen where the Cowboys were going 0:19:09.800 --> 0:19:13.560 to play the Giants on Week one. UM and it 0:19:13.720 --> 0:19:15.440 was like last play of the game, ten seconds to go, 0:19:15.600 --> 0:19:18.440
