00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: show next week. Talking about the playoffs, right, I mean,

24
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 1: that's kind of where we're at, right, Yes, playoffs. Playoffs?

25
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: Are we talking about playoffs? So let's talk about how

26
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: the Cowboys could get to those playoffs, because today we're

27
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: gonna talk about the Cowboys offense matching up against the

28
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: Giants defense and really the matchup that I think is

29
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: going to the side this game for the Dallas Cowboys

30
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: and it's going to decide the winner of this game.

31
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: But first, let's talk about some injuries on that defensive

32
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: side of the football for Dallas and rob injury report

33
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: came out yesterday and there were a couple of names

34
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: on there. A couple more names on there I should

35
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: say that I did not want to see, and most

36
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: of them were in the secondary. Well, which one's concerning

37
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: the most, Kyle Well. Donovan Wilson concerns me the fact

38
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: that he did not practice yesterday. Xavier Woods was limited,

39
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: Laton Vanderesh again on the injury report, there are a

40
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 1: couple of big names there that really concerned me. Yeah,

41
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: I thought it was encouraging that Xavier Woods got some

42
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: work in yesterday with the ribs injury that kept him

43
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,239
Speaker 1: out against the Eagles, So I thought that was encouraging.

44
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: Donovand Wilson had an illness was not present at practice.

45
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: You mentioned Vanderesh Cheeto has been I feel like he's

46
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,839
Speaker 1: been dealing with a sham string or growing maybe last week.

47
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: I have to check if he was on the injury

48
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: port last week, but something bothered him during the game.

49
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,399
Speaker 1: I think, so, Yeah, they're a little banged up, but

50
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: you know, they did okay at the linebacker position without

51
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: vander esh last week. And I think with Sean coming

52
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: in with Joe Thomas rotating in if he can't go

53
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: this week, I think you feel okay because you've got

54
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: some veteran depth there. But yeah, you got to keep

55
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 1: an eye on the secondary for sure this week and

56
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: darry and Thompson again, it may be a Jordan Lewis

57
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: game at safety, who knows, or he may have to

58
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: play a few snaps there depending on their situation. Heck, my,

59
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: how big is it going to be if you don't

60
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: have either one of those guys, and then who would

61
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: you expect to potentially step up and play if Donovan

62
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: Wilson and Xavier Woods are not available, because I think

63
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: you started finding a rhythm with those guys in the

64
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: backside of the defense. Now, we opened up the season

65
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: talking about hybrid players, so let's right, let's get the

66
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: hybrid on. You know, Jorge lewis a little bit of safety.

67
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: He Bill then nicely. I feel like hit all of

68
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: the injury reports and our safeties being banged up, but

69
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: all over the league, guys are banged up. So I

70
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: fully expect that, at least for my conscious need, Donovan

71
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: Wilson to be able to go h and Xavier Woods

72
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: because obviously he was out up from the Philly game.

73
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,679
Speaker 1: But you know, I think that we did pretty good

74
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: with guys that were out last week, all things being considered,

75
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 1: with the passing yards that they got towards the end

76
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 1: of the game. But still I feel good about whomever

77
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: we have in there. Right now. Our front is playing

78
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: so so good and getting pressure and got everybody needs

79
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 1: to understand, man, when you're able to manufacture that pressure

80
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 1: and get sacks and move the quarterback out of the pocket,

81
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: it does well for your secondary. So I look for

82
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 1: these guys to repeat that effort. No Cheeto out there,

83
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,039
Speaker 1: or at least he was limited out there as well. Isaiah,

84
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 1: do you think Cheeto had a solid enough game last

85
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: week against Philadelphia to where if he were unavailable against

86
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: New York and a couple of these weapons like a

87
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: Sterling Shepherd or an Evan Ingram that it would play,

88
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: that would pay huge dividends for the Giants in terms

89
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 1: of an advantage. I don't think so. I don't think.

90
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: I mean, where he's at right now in his development,

91
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't feel like he's that dominant of

92
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: a of a player right now. So, and especially if

93
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 1: he was ever going to be out a game, it

94
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 1: would probably be against these guys because they're gonna they're

95
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: gonna struggle to throw the ball. They don't go, they

96
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: don't go down the field much. We're gonna be sitting

97
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:27,840
Speaker 1: in the zone anyway, just because we want to try

98
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: to continue to get pressure with our front seven. Uh,

99
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: you know, I it was encouraging to see that. What

100
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: my belief was in terms of vander Ish, I didn't.

101
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 1: I didn't think we're gonna miss him that much. Last week.

102
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: So that was that was positive. You know, Joe Thomas

103
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: and Jaylen Smith running around. Hopefully we can get the

104
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: same production out of those guys um in terms of safeties,

105
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 1: trying to fulfill that void. You know, you know who,

106
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: you know who I'm who I'm trying to get in there,

107
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: Kyle going for for that boy, Reggie, that boy Reggie Robinson.

108
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 1: If you look at his his play to turn the

109
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,359
Speaker 1: forced turnover ratio, I would say it's pretty high his

110
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: turnovers versus how many plays he's actually had in the NFL.

111
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 1: So I say, let the boy roll. Hey, maybe that

112
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: play on special teams where he did punch the ball

113
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: out potentially provides an opportunity for him to see more

114
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 1: playing time and more defensive reps. And I talked to

115
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: We had the Cowboys Hour last night with C. J. Goodwin,

116
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 1: who was on the receiving side of the fumble recovery.

117
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 1: And I asked him, I was like, so did you

118
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 1: think you were in? He goes, No, I was out.

119
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: I just tried to sell it. He's like, I knew

120
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: my foot was out the whole. I mean, speaking on Goodwin,

121
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: Goodwin did a heck of a job coming in and

122
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: fulfilling that that spiral um. You know, I know he

123
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: didn't necessarily make a bunch of players, but he didn't

124
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: have to. The simple threat of him being there, I

125
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,600
Speaker 1: think kept Jalen Hurts at Bay pretty much, you know,

126
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 1: at Bay for that second half. So it was very

127
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: encouraging to see them, you know, Mike Nolan expand his

128
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: his repertoire um and dig a little bit deeper into

129
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: his black book um to go into that bottletop defense

130
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: whereas three guys, three safeties across the top of and

131
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: you dropped that middle at that time, that middle safety,

132
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: you drop him down and said courage to kind of

133
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: watch over the quarterback. So that was encouraging to see

134
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: them expanded a little bit. And Mike Nolan talked about

135
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: that on Monday and he said it got to the

136
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: point where if CJ wasn't chasing him down himself, just

137
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: that threat, they felt like Jalen Hurts, like you said,

138
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: was kind of aware of it and was more hesitant

139
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: to run. And he only had maybe ten or twelve

140
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 1: yards rushing in the second half. You know they did,

141
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: they did bottle him up. That was big. Yeah, he

142
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: had four carries for sixteen yards when CJ. Goodwin was

143
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: at least in the formation or in that second half,

144
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: I think was maybe the stat and Rob you wrote

145
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: a really good piece about it on Dallas Cowboys dot

146
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: com that I read earlier this week, and even talking

147
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: with him last night. The thing about CJ. Goodwin is

148
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: he's one of those crazy stories of how he got

149
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: to the NFL. I really encourage everybody to go and

150
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: listen to the Cowboys Hour. Not for me, forget about me.

151
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: I'm talking about for CJ. Goodwin, because he was fantastic,

152
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: A great interview. A guy who was a basketball player

153
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: who worked on mel Blunt's farm, the Hall of Famer

154
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: from Pittsburgh, and went to a pickup basketball game against

155
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: the football coaching staff at the college he played basketball

156
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: at and they said, hey, come out to football practice.

157
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: Turned him into a wide receiver. Then mel Blunt talked

158
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: to Steelers into trying him out, and then from the

159
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: Steelers tryout, turned around, signed and then ended up bouncing

160
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: around the league. Was turned into a corner during his

161
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: time and Atlanta, went to the Super Bowl with Atlanta,

162
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: and then has bounced around the league and ultimately settled

163
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 1: here in Dallas. Which by the way, was his childhood

164
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: favorite team always. So really really really cool story and

165
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 1: it was a great interview last night with Danny Serek

166
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: and company on the Cowboys Hour. So he was he

167
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: was in He's playing a basketball game and the football

168
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 1: coaches told him to come out for football after a

169
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: basketball game. That means he used all his files. Oh yeah,

170
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: what he said. Actually, what he said is that he

171
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,439
Speaker 1: dunked on one of the football coach coaches and the

172
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 1: football coaches like, nah, come out to practice. Come on, Okay,

173
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:05,959
Speaker 1: I bet you they wanted to run them. I bet

174
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: you they wanted to run them. If that was what

175
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: it was they wanted to They wanted to put them

176
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: on the team so they could run lines and make

177
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: them pay for that dunk. But so, ways, really cool.

178
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: You talk about a success story. You mentioned it's three

179
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,679
Speaker 1: different programs. He was at Bethany College. Okay, he played

180
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: basketball there. Then he went to Fairmont State to play football,

181
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:30,359
Speaker 1: and then the California University of Pennsylvania not California, Pennsylvania.

182
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 1: Journey journeyman and uh man. Just finding a way to

183
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: get noticed, right, undrafted? What a story? Yeah, so so

184
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: rot what you're saying is the next celebrity kickball game.

185
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 1: We should make sure that Kyle has his opportunity so

186
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:45,559
Speaker 1: that we can get him in there at potential kicker

187
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 1: down the road. Is that what you're saying. You're saying

188
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: there's a chance. I'm telling you there's a chance. Let's

189
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 1: do Let's do it. Yeah, I need to get in

190
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: the kickball game. Look out. I've had commenters on the

191
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 1: show already tell me that I have the body of

192
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 1: a retired punter, so we might as well make it

193
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: come true and make it an active punter. Let's make it.

194
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: Let's make it happen. So I'm not along the way.

195
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,199
Speaker 1: Let's oh god, let's go ahead and talk about this

196
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: matchup between the Cowboys offense and this Giants defense, because

197
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: I want to know it's gonna be a sloppy weather game.

198
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: And we looked at the weather earlier today and it

199
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: was it was fifty five lower. I mean, of course

200
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 1: it's gonna be in the middle of the afternoon, but sloppy, wet.

201
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: It's gonna be raining up in New York kind of

202
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,079
Speaker 1: like it is in Frisco for all of those who

203
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 1: are actually in the Metroplex. But really sloppy week of

204
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: game play up there at MetLife Field. But whenever you

205
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 1: talk about running the football, that might actually go into

206
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:46,959
Speaker 1: your favor. And this is a Giants team that over

207
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: the last four weeks has given opponents at least one

208
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: hundred rushing yards after not doing it oh so much

209
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: the first dozen weeks of the season. But my question

210
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 1: to you, Isaiah's can Zeke replicate the week that he

211
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:00,719
Speaker 1: had last week? It was a he's in high game

212
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:02,959
Speaker 1: for Ezekiel Elliott, But can he do it again against

213
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: this Giants defense? And how can he? I think so?

214
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 1: I think, I think, I think we need to establish

215
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 1: that renting game. I think, especially going into a rivalry

216
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 1: game like this, it's gonna be physical. You can't can't

217
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: get around it. I don't care what the Giants are

218
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: playing for. What we're playing for is is gonna be

219
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,559
Speaker 1: a physical game regardless. Now you throw the playoff applications

220
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,959
Speaker 1: on top of that, and for both teams and guess what, Oh,

221
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: there's gonna be some hidden So we need to be

222
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: able to control the line of scrimmage. We need Zeke

223
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 1: to I don't even I don't even have to say

224
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: we need Zeke to you know, to get off and

225
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: be aggressive. He's going to do that. I think he

226
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: felt that flame last night or not last tip of

227
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: last week, and I think he plans on doing the

228
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 1: same thing. And I think there's no better team to

229
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: do it against them with than your rival Rob Yeah. Absolutely,

230
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: And you know what, he ran well in the first

231
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 1: game against the Giants. Nineteen carries, ninety one yards, two touchdowns.

232
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: It's kind of what I was saying a week or

233
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,719
Speaker 1: so ago. I thought he ran pretty good earlier in

234
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:58,959
Speaker 1: the season. They just they got behind and he fumbled

235
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: the ball and they did something to take themselves out

236
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,719
Speaker 1: of the running game. Tony Pollard had five yards to

237
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 1: carry as well, so they ran okay against the Giants.

238
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,439
Speaker 1: But I do expect the Giants to really be on

239
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: their keys this week because they got dashed by Baltimore

240
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: last week and a lot of a lot of teams

241
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 1: do the Cowboys did too. They do, they do. Heck,

242
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 1: they do a lot of funky stuff pre snap and

243
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 1: that can throw you off. But they're they're a pretty

244
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: solid run defense team overall this season, and I expect

245
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 1: them to be the focus to be much higher this week.

246
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 1: That I was so happy to see the weather report

247
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 1: in New York for Sunday. I mean that's that's Zeke weather.

248
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: It's football weather, and that's Zeke weather. I mean he

249
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: when you look at his career at Ohio State, he

250
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:41,439
Speaker 1: played a lot of games in this kind of weather.

251
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 1: So I expect for him to play, you know, above

252
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:49,199
Speaker 1: and beyond his level that he has been all season.

253
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,959
Speaker 1: And we know what Zeke hast at stake. Man, He's

254
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 1: right now sixty three yards away from a thousand yards

255
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,079
Speaker 1: and what does that mean for him here in Dallas

256
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: is putting him in the company of Tony Dorsett and

257
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: him and Smith being the only running backs to ever

258
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: record four thousand yard excuse me, rushing yards in five years.

259
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: So I mean, asides from the accolades and everybody knowing

260
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 1: what we have at stake here, I expect for Zeke

261
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 1: to be eteam. Now, I do want to point out

262
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 1: over the last four games this Giants run defense giving

263
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:28,439
Speaker 1: up a hundred yards. I mean those teams were Seattle, Arizona, Cleveland,

264
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: and Baltimore. And I mean those are four teams that

265
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 1: ran pretty well against the Cowboys this season. So I

266
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 1: mean there's a lot to look at whenever it comes

267
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: to this Giants team. We're gonna get into it a

268
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 1: little bit later on when we get into the pickums

269
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 1: and say it with your chest about how the Giants

270
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 1: had won four straight and now they've lost three straight,

271
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 1: all against really good playoff caliber teams, and so there's

272
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 1: this isn't a go ahead, let's win this game type

273
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 1: of game for the Cowboys. I mean, this is gonna

274
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: be a battle. I don't think this is gonna be

275
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: an easy win by any for Dallas. And I think

276
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 1: one of the reasons why is that defense and rob

277
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 1: when you look at the Cowboys in the success that

278
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: they had last week against Philadelphia, where did they have

279
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 1: that same kind of success against this this Giants defense?

280
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 1: Because I think the secondary is playing well together. I

281
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 1: think the front seven is pretty ruthless. They're not Philadelphia,

282
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 1: Washington Pittsburgh level, but they're still a pretty good front seven.

283
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: But I want to know where the weakness is in

284
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: this Giants defense and how the Cowboys can exploit it. Well,

285
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: that's a good question. I think I agree with you.

286
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 1: I think they're pretty solid front to back. They've they've

287
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: had some problems recently, and I think some of it

288
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 1: has been their injuries in the secondary. So it's it's

289
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 1: it's a little bit like Philly last week, although I

290
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: think Philly Philly was kind of decimated. I just think

291
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 1: beyond Bradberry at cornerback, James Bradberry, they're they're kind of

292
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: young in the secondary at the coverage spots. And so

293
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 1: you look at the game last week or last time

294
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 1: in mid October, ceedee lamb a huge game and um,

295
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: you know against I think it was Darnay Holmes work

296
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: in the slot. Now, I don't know Isaiah Hack from

297
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 1: what you guys have seen, I probably expect them to

298
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: play some zone. I think they kind of do anyway,

299
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: but but I would imagine they try to keep things

300
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 1: in front of them, given that this is by far

301
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 1: the best trio receivers maybe they faced all years. Yeah,

302
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 1: I definitely see them playing a two highest shield. I

303
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: don't I think, you know, to answer your question called

304
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: the weeks by their defense, I think it's their linebackers.

305
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 1: I think their second levels a little a little, a

306
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: little soft, little young. I think Martinez right there in

307
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 1: the middle, I think he's pretty dug one good, but

308
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 1: I think his his comrades on the side who we

309
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 1: got here. Yeah, yeah, those guys are those guys are

310
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: a little a little soft, little little tissue paper ish.

311
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 1: But so I think if we can, we can, if

312
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: our offensive lie can work their way up to the

313
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: second level, I think we can have some some huge

314
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: plays on the ground. Now, this is the NFC East battle.

315
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 1: It didn't matter when you're right, when you look at

316
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 1: schedule and you saw that we had the Giant the

317
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 1: last game, it wasn't gonna be an easy matchup in

318
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: in perfect form. Here we are having to play for

319
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: potentially playoff berth. But you're right, Rob, when you talked

320
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 1: about what c Lamb did versus the Giants in our

321
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: first matchup, he burned them. And just like Philly last week,

322
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: they tried to just say, hey, let's pick our poison. Right,

323
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: We're gonna pick the poison, and we choose Michael Gallup.

324
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: We all they got poisoned by Michael Gallup in the

325
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 1: first half and they had to bring guys from awful

326
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 1: safety to play corner to stop the bleeding. But that's

327
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 1: what you get versus the Cowboys when you have three

328
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 1: receivers that can stretch the feel the way that they

329
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: can and Ceedee Lamb had that big game because he

330
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: was in the slot a lot and they had to

331
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 1: move down that nickel corner right now, like you said,

332
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: with the injuries that they have, you look for Xavier McKinney,

333
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: but he's a safety, but he does play a lot

334
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 1: in the slot to be matched up with Ceedee Lamb. Again,

335
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 1: they have to pick their poison. And with the way

336
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 1: that Andy Dalton is playing, I just to see us

337
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 1: go out on our shield, no matter how it goes,

338
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 1: I want to see it us go out firing and

339
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 1: to back door that you both of you guys comments.

340
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 1: I think if you're if you're the defensive coordinator for

341
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: the Giants and you had to pick and choose between

342
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 1: do I want to stop the run primarily or do

343
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: I want to stop the pass primarily? Based upon Zeke's

344
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 1: year so far, even though I know he's still creeping

345
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,399
Speaker 1: up on a thousand yards, I'm gonna go ahead and

346
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 1: rest on the shoulders up. Hey, I'm gonna I'm gonna

347
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:25,959
Speaker 1: make Zeke get back to old Zeke Forum and make

348
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 1: him beat me. And I'm gonna put my I'm gonna

349
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 1: put my best six guys in the box, right because

350
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: most of the time will be in in eleven personnel,

351
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 1: so they can have six guys in the box and

352
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: we'll have five to six guys in the box and

353
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: guess what, Hey, my six guys are better than year

354
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,120
Speaker 1: six guys. And I'm gonna make you prove it. I'm

355
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 1: gonna make you prove it. I am not gonna put

356
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:45,880
Speaker 1: myself in a situation where I have to say, Okay,

357
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: my dbs are better than your receivers, because they know

358
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 1: that's not the case. That's a good point because you

359
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:55,120
Speaker 1: know when you see comments pregame during every week about

360
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 1: how to approach the Cowboy's offense, it's always like, well

361
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:58,880
Speaker 1: it starts with zeke, we gotta stop throw, We're gonna

362
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 1: stop the run. But when it got pretty toasty, it

363
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,880
Speaker 1: got pretty toasty for Philly Secondary last week, So yeah,

364
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: you might need to change it up because Andy Dalton

365
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 1: is clicking with his wide receivers and with the protection

366
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,439
Speaker 1: it's gotten better too. Yeah, that is and that's it, man.

367
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 1: And you look at the numbers for the Dallas Cowboys

368
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,120
Speaker 1: and just around the league. I mean, it's a comparison

369
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 1: thing that we do here and just the upper echelon teams,

370
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 1: you know, comparable to our defense being thirty second, But

371
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: on offense, my god, the numbers for our passing game

372
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:31,360
Speaker 1: or two through the roof. I mean, we're in top

373
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 1: ten in passing. And I know I'm one of those people. Man,

374
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: I just want to see us ground and pound and

375
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: wear that clock out and phil you know, Philip position

376
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 1: ball control all of those things. But it's proven, man,

377
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 1: these last couple of games that once our passing game

378
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,400
Speaker 1: gets going, we're really hard to stop. Well, it's also

379
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: been proven that you can do both, and I think

380
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 1: that that's really kind of come to fruition in the

381
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,400
Speaker 1: Minnesota game and in the game against Philadelphia last week,

382
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: where you did have a hundred yard rusher, but you

383
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 1: also had a ton of success with your receivers and

384
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 1: with the passing game. It's a marriage between the two

385
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: that's going to allow you to be the most successful.

386
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,199
Speaker 1: And that's kind of where I think Kelln Moore and

387
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,919
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy are trying to get this offense to land

388
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 1: is right in that little that safe spot right in

389
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 1: the middle, and it's hard to do that. Well. The

390
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,880
Speaker 1: trust tree, the trust tree of play, colleague, but it's

391
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,239
Speaker 1: hard to do that. That's not an easy thing, and

392
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,439
Speaker 1: that's why you have to have as many talented players

393
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 1: as the Cowboys do to try and at least even

394
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 1: attempt to get to that point. But I kind of

395
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 1: want to go back really quickly before we had to

396
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:34,680
Speaker 1: break here and address something that Heckma said about Xavier McKinney.

397
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,439
Speaker 1: I really liked Xavier McKinney coming out of Alabama in

398
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 1: the draft. Last year. Rookie kind of got banged up

399
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,719
Speaker 1: in training camp, didn't play until week twelve of the season,

400
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: but he's played over fifty percent of the snaps and

401
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 1: each of the last three weeks, by the way, all

402
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:53,120
Speaker 1: three losses, and in those games, I mean, he's been decent,

403
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 1: he's been good. But if you're taughting me that Ceedee

404
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 1: Lamb is going to go one on one with Xavier

405
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 1: McKinney right this weekend, I feel pretty good about that.

406
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,639
Speaker 1: Headmont feel pretty good. So hopefully that's the case, and

407
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 1: maybe the Cowboys get an opportunity to use Ceedee Lamb

408
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: out of the slot this weekend when we come back, though,

409
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,880
Speaker 1: is momentum going to be the biggest factor in this game?

410
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: I'm going to ask that question to all three of

411
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: these guys. We're going to talk about it when we

412

00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 1: it with your Chess Thursday. We've got predictions and DraftKings

457

459
00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:00,200
Speaker 1: All four of us were on point, and you would

460
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 1: have won some money last week. I think if you

461
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,919
Speaker 1: would have chosen exactly what we said. And I'm not

462
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,400
Speaker 1: saying we all just hyped up the Cowboys. Isaiah last

463
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 1: week said don't go with Tony Pollard. He said there's

464
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 1: more better places you can spend your money. And well,

465
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:15,959
Speaker 1: of course that's what ended up happening. Because Isaiah's got

466
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 1: a crystal ball, so plenty of stuff to talk about

467
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 1: whenever it comes to DraftKings, and we'll do that coming

468
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 1: up in the third segment. But Isaiah, want to ask

469
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 1: you a question. So being a former player in the

470
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 1: NFL and being around a team with momentum, and that

471
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 1: team just happened to be the New York Giants nine

472
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 1: and seven went on to a Super Bowl, And you've

473
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,479
Speaker 1: been a part of a team that has been to

474
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 1: the highest point even after having kind of a mediocre

475
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 1: regular season. Where does how much of a factor does

476
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 1: momentum in a locker room play? Because right now, you

477
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 1: can look at the last three games for each of

478
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 1: these teams, and the Cowboys had beaten bad team Cincinnati,

479
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 1: San Francisco, Philadelphia, all teams with five or less wins

480
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 1: at least whenever they played them. And then look at

481
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 1: the Giants and their last three losses Arizona, Cleveland, Baltimore.

482
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 1: Like I said in the first segment, all playoff caliber teams.

483
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 1: So two teams going in different directions but with different

484
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,239
Speaker 1: skill level on the other side of the on the

485
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 1: other sideline during those games. But the Cowboys have a

486
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 1: much higher morale and much higher momentum right now? Right

487
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 1: can they write that into a game like this? Absolutely?

488
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:30,360
Speaker 1: Confidence is everything, and people can sit up here and say, oh, well,

489
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 1: these guys are professional athletes. They could say, oh, these

490
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:34,680
Speaker 1: guys are getting paid a lot of money. This guy

491
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 1: gets paid ten million dollars a year. I don't care

492
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:38,120
Speaker 1: what happens to him. He needs to find a way.

493
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 1: You're a human being. You're a human being. You just

494
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:43,719
Speaker 1: happen to get paid very well at what you do

495
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:48,879
Speaker 1: for your employment. When you're confident, regardless of what profession

496
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 1: you're in, things become easier. Right, you have a little

497
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 1: swag about you. Right when Kyle, when Kyle is feeling

498
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:56,360
Speaker 1: that we could tell when Kyle is feeling that could

499
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 1: Kyle comes on to Mike and he's just you know

500
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,159
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Bust arrives with the word you know

501
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. You know, he heckma goes into his

502
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:04,679
Speaker 1: little the source and he starts pulling words out there,

503
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 1: you know, out the back. You know, Rob got the

504
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,160
Speaker 1: injury reports for the last seventeen years. You know. So

505
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,919
Speaker 1: you when guys are in their groove, you're confident, and

506
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,639
Speaker 1: things flow right, and and those little those little, those

507
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:17,399
Speaker 1: little speed bumps in the rope, now they kind of

508
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 1: you got suspension, right, you got you got some shocks,

509
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 1: You got some fresh shocks. When when you don't have confidence,

510
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,439
Speaker 1: things are hard, Things are hard, and those speed bumps hurt, right,

511
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:28,160
Speaker 1: your shocks, and your shocks might you know, they might

512
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 1: not be screwed in this type, right, they might be

513
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 1: a little squeaky um. But but when you got things rolling,

514
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 1: you know your conversation around locker rooms a little bit better.

515
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 1: You know your swags a little different. You come into

516
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 1: the locker room a little different. You show up to

517
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 1: practice your laugh and they're joking around, talking about what

518
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 1: music you're listening to, what the latest dance is, you

519
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 1: know all those things. All that stuff matters, and then

520
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: you go into the game and guess what, you're a

521
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,120
Speaker 1: kid again. You're having fun. You got the same confidence

522
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 1: you had in college. Guys get drafted high. Why because

523
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:54,679
Speaker 1: they gain their confidence in college and then they hit

524
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 1: their peak. Then they come into the league and either

525
00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 1: continue that or they get they get awakening, and they

526
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:01,399
Speaker 1: got to dip, and they guess what, they have to

527
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 1: build their confidence back up. It's not that they're less

528
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 1: of a player, is that they don't have the same

529
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:07,920
Speaker 1: confidence that they had in college. So as you're going

530
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 1: into games like this, it's all about momentum, right, and

531
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:12,680
Speaker 1: if you can go out there and you can build

532
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 1: off of these last few games that we've had. You

533
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 1: go out here and you can bust the giants in

534
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:19,399
Speaker 1: their mouth and then guess what. Hopefully, hopefully you slide

535
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,479
Speaker 1: into the playoffs and then it's a four game season.

536
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 1: That's why it's all about what team is hot going

537
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 1: into the playoffs, because that's what matters most on I

538
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 1: like that he said I'm in my bag when I'm

539
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:39,399
Speaker 1: in my thesaurus. I like that, Hey, look, man, ain't

540
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 1: nomentum like momentum, And I love that we haven't. We

541
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:46,679
Speaker 1: haven't had it before the beginning of this season. We

542
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 1: were getting hit over the head with a bag of nickels.

543
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 1: Em like every game. You talk about the challenges that

544
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 1: we had on defense, not being able to get this

545
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:59,199
Speaker 1: offense going in the first half, and now suddenly, all

546
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 1: of a sudden and over differential. I mean, the defense

547
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 1: is clicking and the offense seems like you know, Andy

548
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton can't miss except for when he's overthrowing CD

549
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 1: or underthrowing CD. Lamb um. But I like it. I

550
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: like the fact that we're in a position now where

551
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 1: these guys that you've seen play feel better about themselves.

552
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 1: And and like Isaiah said, if it's you know, a

553
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,399
Speaker 1: little bit looser. You you take the sounds from the

554
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 1: game and guys are talking about let's eat and all

555
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 1: of that. You know, let's this is the game for

556
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 1: these guys to show up and regardless of how it

557
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 1: plays out with the with the football team and the

558
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 1: boot Eagles, is imperative that we go into this game,

559
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 1: get a victory and feel good about ourselves no matter what,

560
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 1: because this has been a season where the Cowboys has

561
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:53,359
Speaker 1: been dumped on by everybody, players, coaches, around the league,

562
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 1: anonymous sources, all of the media types. So this game

563
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,399
Speaker 1: is for us, man, and let's just go out and

564
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 1: let's just hear them. Let's just hit them and hit

565
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 1: them hard and go, like I said before, go out

566
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 1: on our shield. Yeah. You know, it's hard to gauge

567
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:11,680
Speaker 1: the confidence of the team just because we're not in

568
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 1: the locker room this year and it's just these calls

569
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 1: every every day of practice. But I just got the

570
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:21,640
Speaker 1: vibe from Zeke talked yesterday, de Marcus Lawrence talked yesterday,

571
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 1: and Joe Looney talk and I just felt like there

572
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 1: is a lot of confidence flowing right now. They feel

573
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 1: they just feel better about where they're at and quick

574
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 1: quote from DeMarcus Lawrence. He said, I feel like when

575
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 1: things go south and all of it goes downhill, that's

576
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 1: when real men show up. I can just say we've

577
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 1: got some real men and some real characters that love

578
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 1: playing this game. And he talked about camaraderie and all

579
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 1: those things. I do think it's building. But I did

580
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 1: want to piggyback on what Isaiah said, because momentum, like

581
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 1: you mentioned momentum, is it a real thing week to week?

582
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 1: You know, because it's six games or seven days in

583
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 1: between games, Like can you really carry it with a

584
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 1: new opponent or is every week kind of its own deal,

585
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 1: especially when it's a rivalry game, And like I think

586
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 1: Hex said, you can just kind of throw it out

587
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 1: every week when it's when it's two rivals going at it. Yeah,

588
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 1: regardless of the days in between, its still builds right here.

589
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 1: So you're coming off a game in which you played well,

590
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 1: so like these last three games, it's no, it's not

591
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 1: just it's not scheme why we force turnovers. It's not.

592
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: It's not a scheme thing. You know, one game you

593
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 1: force turnovers and then guess what, Oh crap, I forgot.

594
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 1: I get hit. Oh yeah, yeah, I get hit. That's right.

595
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 1: I'm I'm I'm I'm freaking Darian Thompson. You know what

596
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I'm I'm d Law. You know I'll be

597
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 1: your everybody better recognize what the name is. And you start,

598
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 1: you start, you start getting that swag, but you start

599
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 1: remembering who you are. Sometimes some guys gotta go back

600
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 1: and watch college highlights. Sometimes you gotta do that. Whatever,

601
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 1: whatever helps you remind yourself of who you are, that's

602
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 1: what you gotta do. When sometimes it comes into in

603
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,239
Speaker 1: the form of a big play, it's no, it's no.

604
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 1: It's no secret that guys disappeared for a while. Like

605
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 1: say Zeke, Right, Zeke wasn't Zeke for a while. Right,

606
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, Zeke goes out and runs his

607
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 1: tail off last week and we see this come back. Well,

608
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 1: is that because oh he just had a good day. No,

609
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 1: Zeke is getting his confidence back the office, A line

610
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 1: is getting their confidence back, right, So then what does

611
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 1: that do? That transitions right over to the practice week.

612
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 1: Guess what film studies a little bit better? Oh yeah, Now,

613
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, it's not a can we can

614
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 1: we make this play happen, and it's like, oh yeah, coach,

615
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 1: put that in. We're making that happen. Is the question

616
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 1: marks start leaving your head. Can I rush without fumbling? Hey, yeah,

617
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 1: I can rush without phone Kenn, nobody take the ball

618
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 1: from me. I'm zeke. It's that kind of talk, right,

619
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 1: and that stuff carries over and then when you go

620
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 1: into the next week and you do it again, now

621
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, that's a confirmation. That's affirmation that

622
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 1: that is true. And you keep building that up until

623
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 1: somebody comes and bust you in your mouth. That's the

624
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 1: way it goes. And I don't like keeping going and

625
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 1: going back to this Cowboys hour last night with CJ Goodwin,

626
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 1: But there was a lot of great information in there,

627
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 1: and CJ T you mentioned like the confidence of play

628
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 1: calling of hey, throw that in there, coach, let's figure

629
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 1: it out. The CJ package where CJ. Goodwin came in

630
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 1: and spied Jalen Hurts was in a pure example of that.

631
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 1: Because they talked about it earlier in the season. CJ

632
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 1: said that Sean Lee was the one that came up

633
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 1: to him and actually brought that play to the forefront.

634
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 1: But he did it back in like week eleven, Week twelve,

635
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 1: they didn't run it until week fifteen, and when they did,

636
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 1: they had confidence in it. They did it for sixteen

637
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 1: defensive stabs and it ended up helping them win the

638
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 1: game because both interceptions against Philadelphia came while CJ. Goodwin

639
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 1: was on the field. So there is that growth, I

640
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 1: think within a locker room. And Rob, you mentioned the

641
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 1: guys who talked yesterday and Joe Luney and Ezekiel Elliott

642
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 1: and DeMarcus Lawrence, all three of them talked about how

643
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 1: much fun it was to be back on a winning

644
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 1: side of things, and I think it may even play

645
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 1: more of a factor momentum, that is, in terms of

646
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 1: a team that lost so much early on, because you

647
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 1: can go and look at the Jankansas City Chiefs right now,

648
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 1: who are fourteen and one. You can say, yeah, they've

649
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 1: got a lot of momentum, but you know, for a fact,

650
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 1: there's pressure in that locker room. There's not a ton

651
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 1: of fun, happy, go lucky in that locker room as

652
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 1: much as there would be if they would have lost

653
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 1: a couple games early on. Just that's what they do.

654
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 1: They're the Kansas City Chiefs right now, and you're winning

655
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 1: and that's what you want to get to. But right now,

656
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 1: when you start three and nine, it just feels good.

657
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 1: It's a relief to finally start winning again. Right heckma, well,

658
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:19,239
Speaker 1: hell yeah yes. And you talk about the momentum from

659
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs that they're the Super Bowl champ

660
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 1: so they can't be with all the momentum. But for

661
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 1: our guys, and you know, I said what you said

662
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 1: will spot on. Man about like remembering who you are,

663
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 1: like you and sometimes you gotta go back to your

664
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 1: college highlights to remember, Man, I was a dog, right,

665
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 1: And I think it's been so much piled on this

666
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 1: team that they kind of lost sight of that. Man,

667
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 1: it goes. It makes me think of something my grandfather

668
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 1: used to say. Man, it's the reason why donkeys and

669
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 1: thoroughbreads don't run the same race, right, because they're not

670
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 1: the same. And you're here for a reason, so be

671
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: the thorough bread that you are. And they've had to

672
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 1: prove that and look all of the at the end

673
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 1: of the year, no matter how this goes, we're gonna

674
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 1: we're gonna evaluate everybody who's us up, throws down, Who's

675
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 1: gonna say the job of the scouting department man Mike

676
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 1: McCarthy and all of his guys. They have a job

677
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 1: trying to figure out who's gonna be here. Who are

678
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 1: going to be the guys that's gonna fit this culture,

679
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 1: you know, this continuity that started to this team that's

680
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 1: jailed at the last part of this year. Who are

681
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 1: the guys that we're all in and dialed in. Who

682
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 1: are the guys that want the outside of this because

683
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 1: right now we have a problem where maybe we're overpaying

684
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 1: guys that's not giving us that production. And again that's

685
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 1: a conversation for another day. But these guys have to

686
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 1: realize who they are and play up to that standard.

687
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's a better way to close

688
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 1: out the final non prediction segment of twenty twenty by

689
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 1: talking about this momentum and talking about the winning that's

690
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 1: been happening and the kind of the movement that you're

691
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 1: starting to see within this locker room and the confidence

692
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 1: that is building. So we're gonna step aside, but when

693
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 1: we come back, it's time to say it with our

694
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 1: chest one more time, gentlemen, and guess what. Isaiah Standback

695

696
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 1: in the races. He's back in the race, and there's

697
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 1: an opportunity for him to try and catch Rob Pee.

698
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 1: It's gonna take a lot, but we're gonna predict a

699
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,360
Speaker 1: bunch of games when we come back. You're on Talking Cowboys.

743
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 1: you're gonna you're gonna see a little bit of a

744
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 1: higher price tag on these Dallas Cowboys this week than

745
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:02,600
Speaker 1: we've seen in the past. And I mean for good reason.

746
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:04,439
Speaker 1: You saw what they did last week, and they would

747
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 1: have won you a bunch of money. There you see

748
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:09,799
Speaker 1: the graphic up there, fifty six hundred dollars for mister

749
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:12,759
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton. Zeke's at sixty four hundred. You got a

750
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 1: Marie Cooper who had a big week last week, one

751
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:17,360
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty one yards. He's at fifty eight hundred.

752
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 1: The most expensive skills player outside of Zeke for the Cowboys.

753
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 1: Zedie Lamb, who had a big week won me my

754
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:26,720
Speaker 1: Fantasy football League title last week fifty two hundred dollars

755
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:31,440
Speaker 1: and Michael gallup but clean even five grand. So Isaiah,

756
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 1: we're gonna start with you. You're right up at the

757
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,840
Speaker 1: top there loving on Andy Dalton. Why it is fifty

758
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 1: six hundred dollars or why not fifty six hundred dollars

759
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:42,360
Speaker 1: for Andy Dalton this week? The red rifle cocked that

760
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:44,760
Speaker 1: thing up. All right. He has definitely worked your fifty

761
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 1: six hundred dollars this week. I think that we are

762
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:49,319
Speaker 1: going to see a lot of two high shale. So

763
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 1: maybe not in the first quarter, you probably won't see

764
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 1: him ball out, but in that second quarter to the

765
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:56,479
Speaker 1: second half, we're gonna really see things open up because

766
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to come down. They have to drop

767
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 1: down a single safety, and we all know when teams

768
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 1: decided to go single safety, your red rifle gets released

769
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 1: and all of our receivers start to eat. So go

770
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 1: ahead and load up on the red rifle this week.

771
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:11,360
Speaker 1: And Rob, you're sitting there with sixty four hundred dollars

772
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 1: with Zeke, correct, I mean, that's the highest price tag

773
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 1: we've seen from Zeke in a while. Yeah, as Isaiah said,

774
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 1: he brought the feed me spoon out. Last week, he

775
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:22,399
Speaker 1: got his mojo back, and he told us yesterday it's

776
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:25,240
Speaker 1: the best he's felt physically since probably the first Philly

777
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 1: game in early November. So heck, mas set at sixty

778
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:31,799
Speaker 1: three yards to a thousand. He wants to win the game,

779
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 1: first team goals first. But you've got to know, after

780
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:38,759
Speaker 1: everything he's been through this year, some struggles, the injuries,

781
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:41,560
Speaker 1: a thousand would mean something to him, he said it.

782
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:43,759
Speaker 1: So I think he's gonna try to get it for sure,

783
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 1: and they're gonna try to get it for him. And

784
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 1: if he does get some favorable boxes, I'd look for

785
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 1: them to have success in the running game once again

786
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:54,279
Speaker 1: this week. And we've now hit the quarterback, we've hit

787
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 1: the tailback, and heck, whenever it comes to these three

788
00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 1: wide receivers, the big three wide receivers, which one sticks

789
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:03,840
Speaker 1: out to you? Oh boy, I'm going with the Cooperville

790
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:07,880
Speaker 1: Mary Cooper definitely. Man Um, Let's think about it, guys,

791
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 1: how the prices have gone up on our players to

792
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:12,719
Speaker 1: draft draft kings. You could have got these guys draft

793
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:16,040
Speaker 1: a dirt cheap a couple of weeks ago. Last week

794
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 1: been the new kid, and uh, the Yak Gilbert h

795
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 1: Man ge Wagon uh. Now, Now the way that the

796
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 1: Red Rifle has this team rolland man, it's uh. I

797
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:30,239
Speaker 1: feel like this is a game that Amari Cooper can

798
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:33,719
Speaker 1: definitely get off. And like Isaiah was saying, they're gonna

799
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:38,080
Speaker 1: be some favorable boxes and once Andy unleashes that rifle,

800
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 1: one of those bullets is definitely gonna go to Uh.

801
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 1: Mary Cooper. I love it. I think Amari could have

802
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:47,239
Speaker 1: a big day. I think Michael Gallup might continue what

803
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 1: he did in the first half last week against Philadelphia

804
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 1: because he didn't get a whole lot in the second half.

805
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 1: I want to know if he can continue that going

806
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:56,840
Speaker 1: into this week. I think CD also with the success

807
00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:58,760
Speaker 1: that he had last week, actually the last two weeks,

808
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 1: he scored and found the in zone. But I think

809
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:03,920
Speaker 1: he had a ton of success in Week five against

810
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 1: the Giants and he should be able to do that

811
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:07,480
Speaker 1: as well. So it should be a big day hopefully

812
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:09,880
Speaker 1: for these Cowboys. They put up thirty seven points the

813
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:13,120
Speaker 1: first time around against the Giants. Now, I know the

814
00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:15,319
Speaker 1: first half of that was with Dak Prescott, but hey,

815
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:17,279
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton did pretty well in that game too. Is

816
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 1: his first with the Dallas Cowboys. But Draft Kings is

823
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:44,280
Speaker 1: week of our pickums is mister Rob danger p Island

824
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 1: over there in the bottom right hand corner, sitting at

825
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:51,320
Speaker 1: forty five and twenty five. As he had a decent

826
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:53,799
Speaker 1: week last week, kind of stumbled a couple of times, Rob,

827
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:58,640
Speaker 1: I was a little upset with your consistency there. It

828
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 1: allowed sorry to sappoint, It allowed Isaiah place. Yeah, I

829
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:07,319
Speaker 1: know you're right. So Heckma is in second. He's at

830
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:09,799
Speaker 1: forty two and twenty eight, so he has three games back.

831
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 1: He needs a game three if he's gonna beat Rob.

832
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 1: Three games back from Heckma is Isaiah stand back at

833
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 1: thirty nine and thirty one, and then I am, of

834
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 1: course bringing up the rear three games back from Isaiah

835
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 1: thirty six and thirty four. So moving on from the

836
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:27,759
Speaker 1: let's go, let's go into this week's pick hims, and

837
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:30,400
Speaker 1: we're gonna start off with one of the better games

838
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 1: of the week. I think Bill's Mafia the Buffalo Bills

839
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 1: at twelve and three playing really good football right now

840
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:40,399
Speaker 1: against the ten and five Miami Dolphins, and we're gonna

841
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:43,920
Speaker 1: let Rob p Island start this one off, right. I

842
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 1: said it a month ago. Bill's Mafia will be in

843
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:51,320
Speaker 1: the AFC Championship game against Pat Mahomes in the Chiefs.

844
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:55,360
Speaker 1: I think they win this game at home. Heckma at home.

845
00:41:55,520 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 1: I'm definitely gone with the Mafia, all right. Isaiah Buffalino, Yeah,

846
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:03,080
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna go with the Buffalo Bills here

847
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 1: as well. I can't pick the Dolphins or I can't

848
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:08,799
Speaker 1: pick against the Bills. Rather, I think that's the biggest one.

849
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:12,239
Speaker 1: Let's go with the Steelers on the road against the Browns.

850
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:16,160
Speaker 1: The Browns in dire need of a win after losing

851
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 1: last week to the Jets and really what looked to

852
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 1: be a four gone conclusion that the Browns are going

853
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:23,680
Speaker 1: to be in the playoffs for the first time since

854
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 1: two thousand and two. They're sitting at ten and five

855
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:28,799
Speaker 1: and the Steelers at twelve and three, We'll go with

856
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 1: Heckma first on this one. Well, I got the news

857
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:35,280
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger isn't playing in this game and Mason Rudolph

858
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:38,480
Speaker 1: has to start. And with the history of Mason Rudolph

859
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:42,880
Speaker 1: and the Cleveland Browns and knowing that the Browns if

860
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 1: they lose this game, they are potentially out of the

861
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:49,240
Speaker 1: playoffs at ten with a ten and five season, Dude,

862
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:51,920
Speaker 1: I think Baker Mayfield plays out of his mind in

863
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:57,000
Speaker 1: this game. Going with the Browns, Rob, I think the

864
00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:00,120
Speaker 1: Steelers are gonna rest more than just Ben Roethlisberger. If

865
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:04,160
Speaker 1: they rest a bunch of starters. Yeah, give me Cleveland Isaiah.

866
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:07,800
Speaker 1: Mike Thomas is still angry. He doesn't care who the

867
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:09,640
Speaker 1: hecks in a game. They're gonna go for the dog

868
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:12,279
Speaker 1: on a victory. And I think Baker Mayfield goes outside

869
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:14,399
Speaker 1: of himself and tries to do too much. It makes

870
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:17,440
Speaker 1: too many mistakes. I'm gonna pick the Browns here. I

871
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:19,480
Speaker 1: agree with you guys. I think the Steelers kind of

872
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:24,279
Speaker 1: rest some some interesting and that might be one for

873
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 1: Isaiah to catch catch up a little bit. Okay, how

874
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:29,480
Speaker 1: about this a little bit of a toilet bowl game?

875
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:32,920
Speaker 1: The Vikings on the road against the Lions. No Dalvin

876
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 1: Cook for the Minnesota Vikings. So this really is a

877
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:39,120
Speaker 1: toilet bowl game. This is fun, though. You gotta gotta

878
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 1: pick the bad games too, all right, Uh, Isaiah, who

879
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 1: you got Detroit? What? Hmm? Okay? Heck mon oh big?

880
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:57,960
Speaker 1: Rob go Okay? Oh good lord, I'm going to Detroit,

881
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 1: you copy cat. I'm gonna pick the Vikings at six

882
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:06,759
Speaker 1: and nine. I still think kirk Cousins has a better game.

883
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:09,799
Speaker 1: Go for it, Rob, Yeah, I'll go. I'll go Minnesota.

884
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 1: I think Stafford's banged up, so I do know. I

885
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 1: believe in Casey. I believe in Casey kirk Cousins. Let's go.

886
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:25,000
Speaker 1: Come on, four more games, come on, four more games, Okay,

887
00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:27,520
Speaker 1: four more games to get to Okay, So the Jets

888
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:29,719
Speaker 1: and the Patriots, now, I'm just kidding, we're not gonna pick.

889
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:33,480
Speaker 1: Let's let's go ahead and pick it. Let's pick that

890
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:35,160
Speaker 1: game because the Jets have one two in a row,

891
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:38,280
Speaker 1: and the Patriots, man, they look bad, they look bad bad. Uh,

892
00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:40,200
Speaker 1: Patriots all right at home on this one. I'm gonna

893
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:42,799
Speaker 1: take the Patriots still to beat the Jets, but I'm

894
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:45,600
Speaker 1: not very confident about it. Isaiah, I'm rocking with the

895
00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:48,200
Speaker 1: Jets defense in my fantasy championship games. So I'm going

896
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:52,399
Speaker 1: with the Jets, baby, Rob. You see Bill Belichick chucking

897
00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:54,640
Speaker 1: that phone on the sideline. They're not gonna this game.

898
00:44:54,800 --> 00:45:01,440
Speaker 1: Pats win. M Heck, I'm going Jets. You know what, Heck,

899
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:07,640
Speaker 1: I really don't like you right now. Um, let's go

900
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 1: with the Cardinals and the Rams. This is a really

901
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:14,799
Speaker 1: important battle in the NFC West this week. Cardinals, at

902
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:16,759
Speaker 1: eight and seven, still have a chance to get to

903
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:18,640
Speaker 1: the playoffs. The Rams have a chance to get out

904
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 1: of the playoffs should they lose at home. Uh, heck,

905
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:28,279
Speaker 1: go first. I'm going to Cardinals, all right, Rob, Cardinals?

Speaker 1: that Giants Jersey did he asked, no? But the Cowboys

957
00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:50,840
Speaker 1: out a little bitch, rob U. Cowboys averaging more points

958
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:53,040
Speaker 1: in three games stretched than any team in the league

959
00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:56,480
Speaker 1: right now, last three games, Giants averaging eight point six.

960
00:48:56,719 --> 00:49:00,799
Speaker 1: I'll take the Cowboys, all right. Well, here's the thing.

961
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:04,120
Speaker 1: I've got to preface this by what I've said the

962
00:49:04,239 --> 00:49:07,440
Speaker 1: last three weeks, during this winning streak. Every single time

963
00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:11,840
Speaker 1: against Cincinnati, against San Francisco, against Philadelphia, I have picked

964
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:16,239
Speaker 1: against the Cowboys. I've lost those three games, and I'm

965
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:19,120
Speaker 1: not changing that now. I want to take that juju

966
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:22,839
Speaker 1: and I want to push it toward MetLife Stadium where

967
00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:25,319
Speaker 1: the Cowboys can come out with a win. But I

968
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:28,719
Speaker 1: picked the Giants. New York's gonna win this one twenty seven,

969
00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:31,560
Speaker 1: twenty one, just to continue what I've done the last

970
00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:33,560
Speaker 1: three weeks and hopefully it works things out. So I'm

971
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:36,600
Speaker 1: picking the Giants. I'm not changing things now, final week

972
00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:39,120
Speaker 1: of the year. We're rolling with it and the Cowboys

973
00:49:39,120 --> 00:49:42,759
Speaker 1: hopefully will have an NFC's Playoff earth because I also

974
00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:45,680
Speaker 1: picked Washington to win, so maybe that'll work both ways.

975
00:49:45,719 --> 00:49:48,839
Speaker 1: So that's gonna do it here for us on Talking Cowboys.

976
00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:52,680
Speaker 1: Everybody out there, have a very safe, very very safe

977
00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:56,359
Speaker 1: New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. Hope everybody gets

978
00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:58,279
Speaker 1: to spend a lot of time at least talking with

979
00:49:58,320 --> 00:50:00,319
Speaker 1: your family and things like that along the way, but

980
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:02,879
Speaker 1: be careful, be careful when you do it. We'll be

981
00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:05,640
Speaker 1: back on Monday to break things down. Win or lose

982
00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:08,080
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys, either we will be in the playoffs

983
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:10,840
Speaker 1: on Monday morning or we'll be wrapping up the twenty
