Speaker 1: The following. He's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. Cowboys, Let's go. Are
Speaker 1: you ready for a break? Yes? Are you ready for
Speaker 1: a break? Absolutely? Ready for a break? Yeah, and so
Speaker 1: much for that. It's time for The Break on Dallas
Speaker 1: Cowboys dot Com with Nick Eatman, Brian brought Us and
Speaker 1: bar Garcia and Derek Eagleton. It is Friday, October fourteenth,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, Season eighteen, episode number fifty one. Welcome
Speaker 1: to the latest edition of The Break. We are live
Speaker 1: from this s WBC Morgan Studios at the Star War
Speaker 1: presented by Miller Lake, the only beer of the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 1: And it is our job to day to get you
Speaker 1: guys ready for Cowboys Versus Eagles Sunday Night football this
Speaker 1: Sunday in Philadelphia. We have lots of different things we're
Speaker 1: going to talk about to give you our opinions on
Speaker 1: what we think will happen. Let's start first with getting
Speaker 1: some updates on some injuries. Dak Prescott, where is he?
Speaker 1: What did he do yesterday? And how's he feeling a day? Sure,
Speaker 1: he's feeling sort today according to Mike McCarthy, and not
Speaker 1: just the thumb, but also just you know, not doing
Speaker 1: anything for a while and actually going out there and
Speaker 1: uh and and practicing some afterwards. It's a little bit
Speaker 1: of a unique deal because you know he's not getting
Speaker 1: team reps, but he's also it's important he's not just
Speaker 1: throwing to you know, the practice squad receivers, I mean
Speaker 1: at the end, So this is an important thing. He
Speaker 1: got some work. I think he's going to do some
Speaker 1: work in the pre pregame pre pre game. There's some
Speaker 1: conflicting not reports, just conflicting opinions surfacing around about people
Speaker 1: that want to believe stuff and how gullible. I think
Speaker 1: maybe they want to be on whether or not he's
Speaker 1: going to play. I still think and again Brian could
Speaker 1: come in with something completely different, but going down the right,
Speaker 1: going to be active for this game. But there's some
Speaker 1: that that feel like he might and McCarthy's leaving it
Speaker 1: out there as he should, as he should, as he should. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think you're absolutely right about that. The the soreness
Speaker 1: part of it was something that they were they're trying
Speaker 1: to work through. You're absolutely right about that. Was told
Speaker 1: that he's had better control of the ball too. The
Speaker 1: way he's throwing it. So that's that's important that you know.
Speaker 1: You know, they talk about the grip, strength, accuracy and
Speaker 1: all that you need that control and that's something that
Speaker 1: they've really tried hard to work on right now. But
Speaker 1: they feel like it is getting better. For those people
Speaker 1: that have the luxury of maybe looking outside and seeing
Speaker 1: him throw, I bet you that they liked what they saw,
Speaker 1: you know, if they were able to see him throw there,
Speaker 1: but I don't know what that was. Those are the
Speaker 1: people that have the luxury right until like that, Like
Speaker 1: the people across the way at Doctor Pepper'd I've already
Speaker 1: looked good. I've already looked good too, But I don't know,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna look that way. I've heard that he
Speaker 1: was throwing some nines and he was he was throwing
Speaker 1: pretty good and looked good. But hey, here's the deal.
Speaker 1: And I think we've talked about this on the show.
Speaker 1: Part of this really is too like getting him back
Speaker 1: into shape of throwing because of the injury. He hasn't
Speaker 1: been able to throw for all these weeks, and I
Speaker 1: think a lot of soreness. That's what Mike McCarthy was
Speaker 1: talking about this morning. It's not necessarily soreness in the thumb.
Speaker 1: It's soreness in the shoulder, is the ribs, it's all
Speaker 1: that stuff that now the mechanics are throwing and throwing regularly.
Speaker 1: He's got to work back into that. And people don't
Speaker 1: realize that's a ramp up situation like you have to
Speaker 1: get you have to build up to that. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: mean when he had the calf injury, right, I mean
Speaker 1: he comes back into the Denver game and he just
Speaker 1: wasn't I mean that was just a couple of weeks
Speaker 1: right that he that he was was off and he
Speaker 1: could actually throw Yeah, nothing that he could stand and
Speaker 1: just throw the ball. Yeah, and it was rusty and
Speaker 1: it wasn't himself and all that stuff. So yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean I think that's that all factors in and the
Speaker 1: fact of you know, if how Cooper Rush is doing
Speaker 1: as well, if they're winning games and all that. So
Speaker 1: he did add that, you know, keep doing this every day.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying when when you when you put your
Speaker 1: chips in early in the hand and you then you
Speaker 1: see the river and all the turn and all that
Speaker 1: you get if your pot committed, your pot committed, You're
Speaker 1: not just gonna fold because somebody over here is like
Speaker 1: I got an aces, like, well show him, show him.
Speaker 1: Sometimes you get bluffed. Yeah, hey, the man his money.
Speaker 1: You know. It's funny though, And I don't know if
Speaker 1: I should say this on the air, but I'm going
Speaker 1: to good. You know, you're taking after me when people
Speaker 1: when people sometimes say, like, man, do y'all get a
Speaker 1: lot of pressure in the building to say things or
Speaker 1: not say things? It's funny because my boss, which is
Speaker 1: Nick's boss's boss, he was telling me and Nick you
Speaker 1: told me. He like hit Nick up, like, man, you
Speaker 1: really think that they should not bring Dak back when
Speaker 1: he's ready? And he and I had a long conversation
Speaker 1: about it, and he's hardcore, like I am like, no, yeah,
Speaker 1: bring him back. He's a and he's like a you know,
Speaker 1: like a put away from from you know, Stephen Jones
Speaker 1: is office. I mean, so he's Oh no, that's that.
Speaker 1: That's this direct report is the Jones family. Did you
Speaker 1: hear me on the radio today when they asked the
Speaker 1: question about do y'all do anything over there with Jerry's
Speaker 1: birthday or eightieth birthday? And I was like, when you
Speaker 1: say y'all, like you're making it sound like they're like, hey, Nick,
Speaker 1: Jerry's coming out of the bathroom. We're gonna surprise them
Speaker 1: here with the cake. You did. We had a nice
Speaker 1: little party. We Okay, I get that email because it
Speaker 1: did not go through. No, it didn't like you should
Speaker 1: have been there. You should have been there. But no.
Speaker 1: It's funny because I think this is a conversation, by
Speaker 1: the way, that's happening around this entire building, and everybody
Speaker 1: has an opinion on it, and typically your opinions one
Speaker 1: or the other. There aren't very many people that are
Speaker 1: in between. Like you got hardcore opinions one way or
Speaker 1: the other, and it is what it is. Hey, let
Speaker 1: me tell you this. When I when I was working
Speaker 1: with you guys and now we had, you know, the
Speaker 1: cafeteria and all that. Sometimes you're sitting by yourself eating lunch,
Speaker 1: and guys that Nick's talking about, our gals that Nick's
Speaker 1: talking about just PLoP down at your table and they
Speaker 1: start eating with you and they're like, hey, listen, did
Speaker 1: you really say that? Do you really believe? And so
Speaker 1: now you're having light between bites of your club sandwich,
Speaker 1: you're trying to try and to explain, you know, he said, well,
Speaker 1: this is why I feel the way I do. And
Speaker 1: now that I'm on the radio side, I get text
Speaker 1: messages from those people as we're actually talking on the radio.
Speaker 1: I've done it to you. Yeah, well it's fine, you
Speaker 1: gotta text. But we will say stuff and the next thing,
Speaker 1: you know, I'll have seven text message from people listening
Speaker 1: on their radio for that work over here. So it's
Speaker 1: all good. But nobody. My experience is the one thing.
Speaker 1: And I'll tell the quick story about and I think
Speaker 1: I said this before Jerry Jones. You know, like when
Speaker 1: you know you talk about things, and you know this
Speaker 1: platform allows you to say things, you know, good or bad.
Speaker 1: And the time and Jerry was walking down the hall
Speaker 1: him and I and I bumped it to him, Hey
Speaker 1: mister Jones. And he goes, hey, Brian, how you doing.
Speaker 1: I'm great. And he goes, hey, you're kicking my ass
Speaker 1: pretty good. Right now, you're kicking my ass pretty good.
Speaker 1: But you're fair. He goes, keep up the good work.
Speaker 1: And I thought, right then and there, I went back
Speaker 1: to my office El Valley ransailled door in the back office.
Speaker 1: We had closed the door, and I almost threw up
Speaker 1: because I thought, well, he's getting rid of me, you know.
Speaker 1: Now He's like, he's like, hey, Brian, you're kicking my
Speaker 1: ass and you need to get the hell out of here.
Speaker 1: Go see Heidi, Yeah, exactly. And so but that's that's
Speaker 1: how this organization where it's unique. It really really is unique.
Speaker 1: People honestly care about what you say, but they give
Speaker 1: you the opinion to say what you want to say. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's the cool thing about working here. No, it's funny.
Speaker 1: I like, literally we had that conversation yesterday. It was
Speaker 1: about a fifteen twenty minute conversation. He was pretty adamant
Speaker 1: about it. He's like, I gotta catch up with Nick.
Speaker 1: We gotta have this conversation. I just want to know
Speaker 1: what he's thinking. And I wanted to say, yeah, I
Speaker 1: think part of this is Nick's just stubborn. Like Nick's like,
Speaker 1: you're not talking me off my opinion. Even if I
Speaker 1: may agree with you a little bit, you're not talking
Speaker 1: me off of this opinion. So I'll say this though, Nick,
Speaker 1: and you know it's true. You know how you are.
Speaker 1: In the early two thousands, I would have killed to
Speaker 1: have Cooper Rushes a quarterback. I've been saying I would
Speaker 1: have killed better. Yet you would have killed to have
Speaker 1: this defense that's killed. The defense was fine, Zimmer was
Speaker 1: doing a decent job, man, I mean, we just had
Speaker 1: no quarterback telling you this. No quarterback. I've never thought
Speaker 1: this coming back from a phil the game. But if
Speaker 1: the Cowboys lose the Philly, it'll be okay, Like I'll
Speaker 1: be like, all right, I ask that question, got be like, okay,
Speaker 1: this thing is over. Now, yeah, it's over. Just go
Speaker 1: play your team's four and two. Good job, Cooper Rush,
Speaker 1: but you manage things while you while that's my confusion,
Speaker 1: what are you basing this off? Is supersticious? Yes, that
Speaker 1: he is undefeated. He has not lost a game ever
Speaker 1: in his life. He even I mean, he's always won always,
Speaker 1: And so I'm just in the NFL. In the NFL
Speaker 1: times yeah five times, five times and five times more
Speaker 1: than Johnny Manzel. True right, No, but that's that's all
Speaker 1: it is. It's just it's just the good. Yes, the
Speaker 1: guy keeps winning. Proved to me that you can lose, okay,
Speaker 1: and you haven't done that. And if he goes and does,
Speaker 1: and that's why I'm by the comment, like the guy
Speaker 1: keeps winning because he is winning. But the defense is
Speaker 1: who's winning Like, it's not you're not winning because of
Speaker 1: Cooper rush. He's helping you stay in the game. But
Speaker 1: I think and the defense, the defense played Okay, I
Speaker 1: don't know. The defense played pretty well against Tampa. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they played for they did. They did, so DA could
Speaker 1: have just kept running the ball instead of checking out
Speaker 1: of right and so I rush right. If Dak wouldn't
Speaker 1: have played one of his three or four worst games
Speaker 1: of his life in that week one and then all
Speaker 1: of this, it would have been a little bit different.
Speaker 1: But but that's all. That's all you've seen right now.
Speaker 1: If he would have played the game he played against
Speaker 1: Tampa last year to open the Sea, yes, this would
Speaker 1: not have been even been a conversation. I don't think
Speaker 1: you're right. You're right, And so that's why I say
Speaker 1: that about if they lose. It's like because because I
Speaker 1: know who the better quarterback is. There's no doubt about it,
Speaker 1: who the better quarterback is. There's only there maybe one
Speaker 1: or two things you could possibly say. Cooper does better
Speaker 1: than Dak. Dak does sick for seven more things better.
Speaker 1: Cooper rusals. Everyone knows that. But it's just you're not winning.
Speaker 1: He's winning, And I have a hard time just changing
Speaker 1: that when for nothing, Can I ask you guys a
Speaker 1: real quick question. I ask this question the radio of
Speaker 1: my guys. I said, do you think Dak Prescott fans
Speaker 1: are hoping for a Cowboy loss? Prescott fans, you're a
Speaker 1: fan and hope. I mean, we went through that a
Speaker 1: couple of years ago. Yeah, No, it's ultimately they want
Speaker 1: to win now. They do think that. And I'm judging
Speaker 1: this by my own reaction and by a lot of
Speaker 1: things I see on Twitter. I think the people who
Speaker 1: are born in the camp of Dak needs to play.
Speaker 1: They think this whole thing is silly. The whole conversation
Speaker 1: is silly because they're like, give me the best player
Speaker 1: when they're healthy, and that gives you best chance to win.
Speaker 1: But I don't think it's at the expense of saying,
Speaker 1: give me a loss against a team that if you
Speaker 1: beat them, now you're in the driver's seat of the
Speaker 1: nfcast three wins. Like, I don't think anybody wants that.
Speaker 1: I'll say this though, they want the Cowboys to win.
Speaker 1: But then if you can pick how the win is,
Speaker 1: they want it to be thirteen to ten, and they
Speaker 1: wanted seven game. They want Cooper to do what he
Speaker 1: did last week. Give me a hundred yards passing, but
Speaker 1: the defense is just I talked to Nate Newton this
Speaker 1: morning about this, about the same scenario that the Cowboys
Speaker 1: were down twenty to sixteen with three minutes to go.
Speaker 1: Cooper's eighty yards away and he's driving. He's got to
Speaker 1: go for the touchdown and go for the win. He drive,
Speaker 1: if he drives down for the win to win this game,
Speaker 1: what does that do? Like that? Now, Jerry just got
Speaker 1: to get his shoes on and start walking to New York,
Speaker 1: because that's that's what he said. I would walk to
Speaker 1: New York to have this kind of controversy. And if
Speaker 1: the guy wins five in a row, that's why I
Speaker 1: said it, because he's not gonna win five in a row.
Speaker 1: He's not gonna beat all these three teams and then
Speaker 1: go beat the Rams. And he just made you wait
Speaker 1: till you guys get on the airplane, and you guys,
Speaker 1: Dallas gets Nick and Nick is going to be yelling
Speaker 1: from his seat when that cat If what if you
Speaker 1: guys get if the Cowboys get the win this weekend,
Speaker 1: You're hey, I told you the opposite actually worse because
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, this is real, Like this is really
Speaker 1: gonna happen. First, now I gotta go back on here
Speaker 1: Monday and be like either stick with your statement or
Speaker 1: then completely Like It's like my dad and in my
Speaker 1: sophomore year in high school, he said, if you get
Speaker 1: straight a's, I will take you to the SEC basketball
Speaker 1: tournament in Birmingham, Alabama straight he's like a good straight seeds.
Speaker 1: And I was like okay, and I did and he
Speaker 1: was like, oh crap, right, and he tried to do
Speaker 1: that tournament that you're good yeah shack yeah Jack Claydon
Speaker 1: and got kicked out, but yeah, Arkansas, Alabama Kentucky was awesome.
Speaker 1: My dad had to sign up for a season ticket
Speaker 1: holder for South Carolina basketball just to get because you
Speaker 1: and you got it, you gotta do it. And he
Speaker 1: was a member. He got South Carolina stuff for like
Speaker 1: ten years because he signed up for that just to
Speaker 1: get because he was like, old, crap, you're in. Now
Speaker 1: got out the next year. No. Well, but he also
Speaker 1: proved his point you could get as yeah right, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm sure that came up and mister Nick like, why
Speaker 1: are we not bringing home straight a's. Yeah, you got
Speaker 1: a golf trip to Pebble Beach for this one in
Speaker 1: college at Texas now, so and and I got the grade.
Speaker 1: And it's like he's trending that way. So but that's
Speaker 1: what you said to you. Yeah, golf trip Pebble Beach.
Speaker 1: If what he gets straight a's he's a good student. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's a good like. I'm thinking he's gonna get one.
Speaker 1: You know, it's college, he's gonna get I got the
Speaker 1: grades back so far. I better get a fifth job
Speaker 1: so I can all Derek, can we talk about a
Speaker 1: raise job right here real quick? Before we go down
Speaker 1: first break, catch me up on Jason Peters. Where is
Speaker 1: he on his recovery? Yeah? The Jason Peters one is
Speaker 1: he got reps yesterday with and and and so he
Speaker 1: came in the locker room the team repped in the team. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so he was telling Nick and all those guys in
Speaker 1: the locker room that that he's planning on playing and
Speaker 1: all that. So, uh, trending in the right way. I
Speaker 1: think you're probably gonna see more work from him today.
Speaker 1: But he did get reps in the actual team period. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure who we talked to, but he somebody
Speaker 1: Philly one of the players FaceTime him and he said,
Speaker 1: what's up, fat boy? And so you know, Peters isn't
Speaker 1: really it's the slimmest guy in the world. So I
Speaker 1: don't know, you know, and that's just how they talk
Speaker 1: to each other. But yeah, he's already talking to Eagle
Speaker 1: guys all that I know. He definitely wants to play.
Speaker 1: I thought it was interesting that McCarthy said this is
Speaker 1: his best practice since he's been here, Yeah, not just
Speaker 1: since the inter I think he wants to get out
Speaker 1: there and play. And I think my question is, what
Speaker 1: do you if you're making the call, what do you
Speaker 1: do here? Because McGovern hasn't been bad, No governors played
Speaker 1: well roll him in. You just kind of just roll
Speaker 1: him in. I mean a few a few series when
Speaker 1: you see Jordan Davis tried out and roll him in
Speaker 1: there too. Ye, big, big Bob. That's a bob right there,
Speaker 1: big on big. But yeah, that's the thing I think
Speaker 1: we we had on this morning on our podcast this
Speaker 1: morning a writer from Philadelphia, and he was talking about
Speaker 1: that all the locker room, you know, because because Peters
Speaker 1: called the Philly fans idiots, Yeah, iffing idiots, and we're
Speaker 1: asking the question to say, he goes, no, no, really,
Speaker 1: what Tank Lawrence said yesterday in the locker room about
Speaker 1: the game and all that is more bulleton board. Jalen Hurt, Yeah,
Speaker 1: played us. Yeah, that's more bullton board material than what
Speaker 1: Jason Peters. He felt like that Jason Peters was going
Speaker 1: to get a really good ovation from the Philly fans
Speaker 1: believe really, Yeah, that's I don't do that when I
Speaker 1: see this guy from w IP. I don't think I've
Speaker 1: ever seen the Eagles fans give anybody an ovation, even
Speaker 1: their own guys like I just that's just not I mean,
Speaker 1: well they show maybe show us picking. Maybe they might
Speaker 1: say welcome back. I would be interested to see that
Speaker 1: if they if if they gave him a standing ovation,
Speaker 1: I would have a little different maybe a big one,
Speaker 1: a little different. Well that's what he thought. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I know, I don't, but I never told when I
Speaker 1: worked up there, I'd never told me I was from Dallas. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they beat up Santa Claus. They're not gonna like him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this this van base, They're they're different man. Randall Cunningham
Speaker 1: went back and he got booed. Yeah, you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: the best win you can get in an NFL city
Speaker 1: as this place the best what best win? Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: the best win. The man. The win isn't the game over.
Speaker 1: The win is under the tunnel. And then nothing has
Speaker 1: thrown your way. And then you're like, okay, mate, but
Speaker 1: you know there's gonna be something thrown. The Cowboy fans,
Speaker 1: they're tawning. The Philly fans is the best. That's when
Speaker 1: they're going back and forth. They're the bravest people in
Speaker 1: the world. Absolutely, they're brave, gonna be brave to live
Speaker 1: up there. Yeah, and then just to go and where
Speaker 1: the you know where the Cowboy jersey? Yeah? Why not? Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: it happens. Why not, Dereka that person watching from the
Speaker 1: press bo I mean, but but I'm saying, like I
Speaker 1: always looked at that, like, Okay, I'm going to a
Speaker 1: game and I'm gonna wear whatever I want to wear.
Speaker 1: It's America. I could do. Why would I be worried
Speaker 1: about that. I was at a fly I was at
Speaker 1: a Flyers game one time and the guy had a
Speaker 1: New York Rangers jersey on. Howard Eskin and I from
Speaker 1: WP were walking to the state and this guy from
Speaker 1: the Rangers just getting miss Jersey was getting beat up
Speaker 1: by the family. We're all kind of like, hey, you know,
Speaker 1: kind of a thing. But yeah, the advice Burry Church
Speaker 1: gave advice Yester, you like, don't wear your jersey up there.
Speaker 1: He's telling fans, don't wear your jersey up there. I
Speaker 1: wouldn't do it. Yeah, all right, we're gonna take our
Speaker 1: first break we cover. That's I'm wearing my jersey. Uh,
Speaker 1: we're gonna when we come back, we do want to
Speaker 1: talk about some of the matchups. I want to ask

Speaker 1: segment of the break Life from the SWBC Mortgage studios
Speaker 1: at the Star. This segment brought to you by blockchain
Speaker 1: dot Com. Let's talk about the matchups Cowboys versus Eagles.
Speaker 1: What's the biggest offensive challenge facing Dallas this weekend? Scoring
Speaker 1: and how will they score the punts? How they're gonna
Speaker 1: score some punts? Um, it's probably just it's gonna be
Speaker 1: making sure that you sustain drives that don't have penalties,
Speaker 1: and also you gotta get touchdowns down there. I mean,
Speaker 1: when you get to the first and town on the
Speaker 1: twenty four yard line, Okay, the drives looking good, looking good.
Speaker 1: It can't be first and twentieth to thirty four because
Speaker 1: the holding penalty and then now all you're doing is
Speaker 1: just playing to getting arranged for a field goal. So
Speaker 1: it's got to be got to be clean operation all
Speaker 1: the way through, no setbacks. I mean, I'm not saying
Speaker 1: play a perfect game, but it's got to be pretty
Speaker 1: close because they're gonna have to. You can't just be
Speaker 1: trading field goals. I don't think, not not this week. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think the biggest challenge will be a secondary. When
Speaker 1: they play zone coverage, they give up plays. When they
Speaker 1: play man coverage, they tend to play better The challenge
Speaker 1: will be can you win on the outside. Can you
Speaker 1: get some separation? You know, can you force these guys
Speaker 1: to grab you and hold you. We talked about this
Speaker 1: on our show yesterday. John Hussey's the official they've give
Speaker 1: He's this cruise, the second most pass interference penalties in
Speaker 1: the league. They'll call them, give them a reason to call,
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, it's probably gonna go both ways.
Speaker 1: Dallas will be a little gravy. They're gonna be really gravvy.
Speaker 1: That's what Slay, That's what Bradbury, That's what those guys do.
Speaker 1: You know, I think that you know that if the
Speaker 1: Cowboys can find a way to win those battles on
Speaker 1: the outside, the protection part of it's gonna be tough,
Speaker 1: I don't. I mean, it's not gonna be pretty. But
Speaker 1: you know, if you can win as quickly as Cooper
Speaker 1: Rush gets rid of the football, I think you got
Speaker 1: a shot to win some of these outside matchups and
Speaker 1: kind of keep some drives going. This team's not very
Speaker 1: good on third down, but you're not very good on
Speaker 1: third down either offensively. That's that's the problem, and that's
Speaker 1: one of the reasons why you say, well, heck, you know,
Speaker 1: having Dak in there, I would feel a whole lot
Speaker 1: better against this defense if Dak was playing just because
Speaker 1: of just for third down, you know, just that ability
Speaker 1: to win on third down. And that's what this game
Speaker 1: is going to probably come down to. You know that
Speaker 1: the Cowboys is they're gonna be a lot of three
Speaker 1: and out, three and out, three and outs. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you can survive. That defense is good, but
Speaker 1: don't put them in harm's way a lot. And you
Speaker 1: know you gotta win on the outside to convert on
Speaker 1: third downs. That's exactly what I was gonna say. Just
Speaker 1: mentioned the third downs and this is a point where
Speaker 1: they gotta be able to improve, especially because this is
Speaker 1: a favorable matchup for them in that aspect. So we
Speaker 1: know you're not gonna be winning this game with just
Speaker 1: field goals. You gotta have your offense score hopefully maybe
Speaker 1: the defense, but you can't put you know, you can't
Speaker 1: expect the law to go score another touchdown or somebody
Speaker 1: else on defense. You gotta be able to create some
Speaker 1: point for your for your defense and far line. Wow, okay, um,
Speaker 1: what was I going to say? And then also, don't
Speaker 1: don't tire out your defense. That's another aspect that I'm
Speaker 1: concerned about. Don't like run the ball, commit to the
Speaker 1: run as well. Be able to kind of give your
Speaker 1: defense a little break and drink some water, cool down
Speaker 1: for a moment for them to get back in because
Speaker 1: they're gonna be playing high level the whole game. That
Speaker 1: is such a good point right there, And I'm serious
Speaker 1: about this because it's gonna come down to when you're
Speaker 1: playing a team they have the RPOs and all the
Speaker 1: things that they do with the smoke and the mirrors
Speaker 1: and stuff like that, sitting on the sidelines and being
Speaker 1: able to look at the pads and say, okay, this
Speaker 1: is what we got to think about now. You know
Speaker 1: they're giving us this. Okay, get ready for this. I mean,
Speaker 1: if you don't have time to sit there and adjust
Speaker 1: as the game goes along because you're dealing with three
Speaker 1: and outs, that's a great point by You've got to
Speaker 1: be able to a sidelines at least take a cup
Speaker 1: of gat or eight, look at the pads, say all right,
Speaker 1: this is what we're going rotational wise this time, and
Speaker 1: get ready, we're gonna go rotational wise this time, you know. Again,
Speaker 1: So especially if they're going no huddle, like you mentioned. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's here's what they're doing right now, here's what we
Speaker 1: expect they're going to be doing that. That might be
Speaker 1: the best point of the whole day, right there. Ye
Speaker 1: all right, I'll slip to the other side. What's the
Speaker 1: biggest challenge Dallas has defensively? I mean it hurts. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're stopping him and and and he's he's a weapon
Speaker 1: throwing the ball, he's a weapon running the ball. The
Speaker 1: Cowboys don't have that obviously on their side of the ball,
Speaker 1: and so you know what, what do they do? You know?
Speaker 1: The problem to me when you have a spy for
Speaker 1: somebody is that if he's back there and he's just throwing,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's just you're neutralizing yourself because your quarterback
Speaker 1: standing there and you've got a guy doing nothing, just
Speaker 1: kind of sitting there watching him. And yeah, and who's
Speaker 1: to say that even stops him, even if one on
Speaker 1: one in the open field. So I don't love the
Speaker 1: spy thing, but I understand why teams do it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the running game. We know that's the weak point for
Speaker 1: this Cowboys defense, and they've been really good at stopping
Speaker 1: offenses in the red zone. But what happens when they
Speaker 1: got running backs who can run? They got a quarterback
Speaker 1: who can run. So what happens in the red zone
Speaker 1: when you put those two and two together and one
Speaker 1: of them gets away from you, you can't stop them.
Speaker 1: And then once they get going, we know what it
Speaker 1: does to you change is the rhythm, the dynamic of
Speaker 1: the game. So we can't let them go take a
Speaker 1: lead and start the game with the lead in that aspect.
Speaker 1: So that's going to be I think a challenge for
Speaker 1: dan Quinn and the defense seeing how they adjust to
Speaker 1: a running game in the red zone. These guys don't
Speaker 1: give up a lot of pressures, and your defense is
Speaker 1: based on getting pressure and getting sacks. And so then
Speaker 1: it turns into how discipline are you? This is gonna
Speaker 1: be a game of how discipline are you to sit
Speaker 1: there and say I can't go flying down their inside
Speaker 1: and try and make a hero play when I know
Speaker 1: I have outside responsibility. The minute you try to make
Speaker 1: the hero play, he gets out of there, hurts and
Speaker 1: spends it and now it's a twenty five yard gain
Speaker 1: and everybody in the press box is losing their minds
Speaker 1: because of oh, they had a sack, and now it's
Speaker 1: not a sack, it's a twenty five yard game. Discipline
Speaker 1: is going to be the thing. Can the Cowboys play
Speaker 1: with enough discipline to slow this offense down? All right,
Speaker 1: we're gonna play a quick game. I'm gonna call it
Speaker 1: big on big. Here's what we're gonna do. We're talking
Speaker 1: about the strengths that the Cowboys ad versus strengths of
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles. And I want you guys to tell
Speaker 1: me which which strength you think wins this week. All right,
Speaker 1: let's start first with Dallas sacks allout right now, they're
Speaker 1: tent tied for tenth in the league. They don't get
Speaker 1: their quarterback sacked a lot Philadelphia sacks. They are tied
Speaker 1: for fourth in the league. Which one wins Philly. I
Speaker 1: think they're gonna get more. I mean, I think that
Speaker 1: the Cowboys will give up more sex than they're probably
Speaker 1: used to in this game. Yeah, Nick is right, he
Speaker 1: said this early in the week. It's it's a lot
Speaker 1: different with Cooper Rush playing quarterback. Contact to him generally
Speaker 1: equals hold the ball, get down, don't do anything st Yeah, exactly,
Speaker 1: that's not a wiggle through. And then now we're breaking
Speaker 1: free on a pass. Your right tackle has played really well.
Speaker 1: Your left tackle is he's done his part. Two, we'll
Speaker 1: see what happens. You got a Hall of Fame right guard,
Speaker 1: But what's the center, what's the left guard? How's that
Speaker 1: all gonna play in this game? The backs are going
Speaker 1: to be a big part of this too with their protection,
Speaker 1: you know, So I think there's going to be pressure.
Speaker 1: Are there going to be sacks? Probably not? But man,
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be disrupted for the Cowboys. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I agree, And we know. I mean, Cooper Rush can
Speaker 1: be mobile and he can run, but that's not something
Speaker 1: he's had to do in a lot of these games.
Speaker 1: I Mean, we know he's shown moments where he can,
Speaker 1: but at this point, I don't think that defensive line,
Speaker 1: in the pressure she's gotten so far, has made him
Speaker 1: have to run or get out of the pocket very much.
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be interesting to see if they do
Speaker 1: start giving up sacks and pressure, how a guy like
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush will react to that. Okay, it's like at
Speaker 1: Dallas points allout right now, they are third in the
Speaker 1: league and points allout Philadelphia is fifth in points scored.
Speaker 1: Which one wins out I mean, I know what I'm
Speaker 1: thinking for the score or so, I'm gonna say the
Speaker 1: Cowboys went out to say that they slow down. I mean,
Speaker 1: I think that they're going to be allowing what they're
Speaker 1: you know, around what they have been given up, whether
Speaker 1: a man, yeah, proud about what the average the average
Speaker 1: right now is. I think fourteen and I think it's
Speaker 1: fourteen and a half. OK, that's what I'll go with.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Cowboys. Yeah, I'm gonna add eight
Speaker 1: points to that what they're gonna give up. And so yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that extra touchdown, Yeah, the extra touchdown. I
Speaker 1: just I worry. I worry. You know, Ember's talking about
Speaker 1: everybody's talking about how the Cowboys are going to score
Speaker 1: in this game. You know how they're going to score.
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to if somehow some way defensive touchdown,
Speaker 1: block field goal, something something extra. You're gonna need that block.
Speaker 1: That block punt was huge helping them. I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: you get on the Cowboys offense comes on the field
Speaker 1: and you know they're they're in a situation where they're
Speaker 1: already up six nothing and not having to do anything.
Speaker 1: You know, so something like that is going to have
Speaker 1: to turn but I think they're gonna have They're gonna
Speaker 1: give up one more touchdown, would say Philadelphia wins the
Speaker 1: battle of the scores. I think so two. And it's
Speaker 1: gonna come down to again, like Brian just said, how
Speaker 1: much can your offense score? I think the defense can
Speaker 1: do enough for you to keep you in the game,
Speaker 1: but I'm still not quite sure that that will be
Speaker 1: enough in this instance if Cowboys offense doesn't score more.
Speaker 1: So the past two weeks they've held to ten points
Speaker 1: both games, which is pretty impressive, and every week they
Speaker 1: just keep like giving up less and less points. So
Speaker 1: I think this is a week where they will allow
Speaker 1: a little bit more and it's just gonna come down
Speaker 1: to which offense is going to be able. Yeah, the
Speaker 1: Philadelphia offense is a little bit like cooking a brisket.
Speaker 1: They have this thing called the stall where the temperature
Speaker 1: never goes up. They score points and then they stop.
Speaker 1: It's weird. They have a point where they get to like, oh,
Speaker 1: they've scored twenty seven points, and then they really don't
Speaker 1: put anybody away. They were up on Minnesota in a game.
Speaker 1: Didn't do it, put them away, try didn't put them away.
Speaker 1: You know, that's if this is why if Dak Prescott
Speaker 1: played for me today, that I would feel like they're
Speaker 1: gonna have Philadelphia. It's gonna be it's gonna be a
Speaker 1: back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. But
Speaker 1: you know, with Cooper, I'm not sure, but if you
Speaker 1: could somehow get them the stall on their points which
Speaker 1: they have and then just rally your ass off to
Speaker 1: maybe make this a you know, at the end, it
Speaker 1: comes down to Brett Maher kicking a fifty two yard
Speaker 1: field goal or something like that. But you need to
Speaker 1: get them to that stall and then hope that you
Speaker 1: can find whatever you're looking for to get the game
Speaker 1: in your in your favor. All right, here's the final
Speaker 1: one turnover differential. Right now, Cowboys are tied for second
Speaker 1: in the league. Philly is first. Who wins a turnover battle,
Speaker 1: that's a that's gonna be the game, like that will
Speaker 1: determine the game with Cowboys. I'm going with Cowboys. They'll
Speaker 1: get some turnovers. Yeah, I mean, they are just too disruptive.
Speaker 1: We talked about it, like what hapmes if they don't
Speaker 1: get that pressure, they're gonna get it. I mean, they're
Speaker 1: gonna they're gonna get the pressure. That's what they do.
Speaker 1: This is not a man they couldn't get home today.
Speaker 1: They will. And if he has to sacrifice the back
Speaker 1: end and one on one on the outside or whatever,
Speaker 1: he will because dan Quinn's gonna get the pressure. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurst doesn't particularly play very well against Cowboys, like
Speaker 1: the last two times he's played, but lost by twenty
Speaker 1: both times. Something right around there, you know, But it's
Speaker 1: it's one of those seems. Philadelphia, though, creates turnovers themselves,
Speaker 1: and Cooper Rush has proven that he won't turn the
Speaker 1: ball over. So I will say Dallas will win the
Speaker 1: turnover battle here. It might be by winning it by one,
Speaker 1: but you know it's I think Dallas will will get
Speaker 1: enough turnovers here. All right. She's gonna be so sorry.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say. The energy, there's gonna be such
Speaker 1: a high energy in this game, a lot of like
Speaker 1: it's gonna be very, very competitive. So I think that that.
Speaker 1: And also given week after week there has been a
Speaker 1: lot of instances where the Cowboys defense has been close
Speaker 1: at getting like more turnovers than what they've gotten so far.
Speaker 1: They just haven't. It just hasn't happened. But this is
Speaker 1: a game where like you combine the energy, the you know,
Speaker 1: the moments you've heard throughout the week heading into this game,
Speaker 1: like it's gonna be at another level. And I would
Speaker 1: imagine that just makes you play even more hard at
Speaker 1: the game and get your hands on the ball. If
Speaker 1: I had a choice, Dallas can lose the turnover battle,
Speaker 1: don't lose the big play battle. That's what I would
Speaker 1: say if you if you're gonna lose the turnover battle,
Speaker 1: if it's gonna be two one, fine, I'll lose it.
Speaker 1: Don't lose the plus twenty play battle. I think the
Speaker 1: key player of this game for the Cowboys is Tony
Speaker 1: Pollard because Tony Pollard's the type of guy that they
Speaker 1: can make a big play for you like we did
Speaker 1: last week. But to get him in the game, he
Speaker 1: also has to be able to block, and the Eagles
Speaker 1: like to send blitzes that and can he hold up there.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be one of those you know, do I
Speaker 1: get you before you get me? And so when he's
Speaker 1: in the game, they may try to attack him even
Speaker 1: though he can attack him as well. That to me
Speaker 1: is gonna be the key turning point is who who
Speaker 1: wins with Tony Pollard out there on the field. All right,
Speaker 1: we're gonna take our final. We we're gonna come back.
Speaker 1: We got some questions from some fans that won't come
Speaker 1: right back. Dallas Cowboys dot Com Radio. The season is

Speaker 1: you for asking. I've already looked it up. Sixty one
Speaker 1: degrees four my power northeasterly win. Make sure you check
Speaker 1: that out, and virtually no chance of rain. That's what
Speaker 1: it looked like at kicks. So pretty good, pretty good
Speaker 1: temperatures for a football game. Now, just mean we don't
Speaker 1: get questions. Is that what that? No, we got lots
Speaker 1: of questions, but I saw that one and I was like, no,
Speaker 1: I'm just saying I'm just saying no. I've been on
Speaker 1: shows that we've done in the past where we kind
Speaker 1: of answer question. Now, when we do that, we make
Speaker 1: up our own names, like you don't just put don't
Speaker 1: tell them our secrets. Not always Joe and Flower Mount. Now,
Speaker 1: by what you're saying, there is a Joe and Flower Mount.
Speaker 1: That's like there's loves me. If there's some of the
Speaker 1: stuff we had to do back in the day when
Speaker 1: we had only a hundred listeners, like we've done some
Speaker 1: some things to kind of manufacture a little there's actually
Speaker 1: a to account. Joe and Flower Mount really Yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's my made up guy. It's not that anymore. That's
Speaker 1: what he used to be. Yeah, thankfully we've moved beyond
Speaker 1: that burner account. Yeah right, let's let's get a call
Speaker 1: from I mean, I'm sorry, Let's do a fan question
Speaker 1: from Charlie Moe. His question is who is the Philly
Speaker 1: X factor that that could change this game? Not the
Speaker 1: frontline guy that you already have talked about, but some
Speaker 1: X factor player that that come Monday we could be
Speaker 1: talking about Dallas Dallas got Dallas gotterd Yeah, that he's
Speaker 1: the guy we've talked about a lot to Dallas her
Speaker 1: Dallas Gott Yeah. Yeah, Well Boston Scott's been you know,
Speaker 1: he's hurt, right, he has been banged up. Yeah, they're
Speaker 1: in a little bit. I remember last year he was
Speaker 1: he was a guy that had some pretty nice plays.
Speaker 1: But yeah, Dallas Goddard, I mean, I just think you
Speaker 1: get all these other guys locked in and all that,
Speaker 1: and then it's you know, it's there's always like third
Speaker 1: and seven, it's like Goddard for eighteen yards and yeah
Speaker 1: the sticks. Yeah, Kenneth Gainwell is a guy too that
Speaker 1: they they like to use behind Sanders because Boston Scott
Speaker 1: has been banged up. They've used game well, if they'll
Speaker 1: use him in the jet sweeps, the tosses, the outside
Speaker 1: runs and stuff like that. You know, you just don't
Speaker 1: need these backs to get going in this game, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean it's tough. I mean, if you if you
Speaker 1: had to say, oh can I shut down one, let
Speaker 1: me shut down this tight end. I don't want and
Speaker 1: the and the Cowboys played really well against tight end.
Speaker 1: They're never winning the league when it comes to said
Speaker 1: this earlier in the week, when it comes to playing
Speaker 1: tight ends four yards to catch no touchdowns. Boy, if
Speaker 1: you told me that right now for Dallas, you know,
Speaker 1: for Dallas Goddard, I'd be like, yes, sign me up.
Speaker 1: What do you think about a guy like klez Watkins.
Speaker 1: He's a deep ball, I'm saying, like a guy a
Speaker 1: guy that that just kind of he's not gonna kill
Speaker 1: you the whole game, but he gets that one big
Speaker 1: catch that sets up the score that yeah, you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: he you definitely have to worry about because what happens
Speaker 1: is it's rpo rpo, rpo, and then it's the fake
Speaker 1: They faked the screen and then they send as on
Speaker 1: a vertical route and everybody's bit on the screen and
Speaker 1: now the ball's over the top. All right. Next question,
Speaker 1: let's get a question from Joe t. He says, do
Speaker 1: we see three safeties full time Sunday with Wilson spying Hurts?
Speaker 1: If so, what linebacker comes out? And I'll change it
Speaker 1: a little bit. They're not gonna do anything full time.
Speaker 1: Everything will be kind of a mix. But do you
Speaker 1: see them doing quite a bit of three safety? And
Speaker 1: who's the linebacker that comes out in that situation? Well,
Speaker 1: I think it would be bar that would probably come
Speaker 1: off the field. But I don't think they're going to
Speaker 1: play a lot of three safeties in this game. I
Speaker 1: really don't. And I kind of feel like though, it
Speaker 1: depends on how you're going to treat Dallas Goddard. You
Speaker 1: know how you're going to cover him, You're going to
Speaker 1: cover him with the safety, Well, then that would take
Speaker 1: that would take the safety out of playing down in
Speaker 1: the box and doing those things. But I kind of
Speaker 1: feel like that you need you know, this is a
Speaker 1: line that has some physicality to it. My a lot
Speaker 1: of a tackle Dickerson, it guard. You know, they've got
Speaker 1: some guys on that left side you just can't put
Speaker 1: a safety down in the box and say, okay, take
Speaker 1: on runs, take on runs. We had Buried Church on
Speaker 1: one O five three the fan yesterday and he says, listen,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's something you have to do, and it's
Speaker 1: something that Quinn does. But against this team, you just
Speaker 1: don't want as much as they pull guys and move guys,
Speaker 1: you just don't want safeties having to take on offensive
Speaker 1: linemen like these guys. So I really don't know how
Speaker 1: much you're gonna see with that that X that safety
Speaker 1: is probably going to be the guy that takes Dallas
Speaker 1: Goddard him this game. Okay, whatever, and better than what
Speaker 1: Brian just said, it was just as serious. How you
Speaker 1: kidding me? What else can I say that? Brian? No?
Speaker 1: I just know I just wouldn't play just because if
Speaker 1: you make it a light box. Just not on numbers,
Speaker 1: but you're making a light box because of the girth
Speaker 1: and the weight that you have down this This is
Speaker 1: gonna be a huge game for Layton Vanderish exactly because
Speaker 1: you know the Eagles can play so many different styles.
Speaker 1: If like that's there's to me the way he played
Speaker 1: again the forty nine ers is not you know that
Speaker 1: that's not a surprise because the way they like to
Speaker 1: play physical and that's his style. But the Eagles can
Speaker 1: do all of that. They can they can play you know, fast,
Speaker 1: they can play light, they can play heavy. So you
Speaker 1: know when when it's it's almost like a guessing game,
Speaker 1: you just hope to guess right. And it's gonna be
Speaker 1: a big game because for Layton's gonna have to be
Speaker 1: chasing hurts arounds, you have to be chasing tight ends.
Speaker 1: This is a Sean Lee game. Remember how sane Sean
Speaker 1: Lee used to play the Eagles. He would it was
Speaker 1: like it was like there was one time where they
Speaker 1: had to try and uh they were field goal range
Speaker 1: and it's like one of his last games and and
Speaker 1: like it's a third down play and they they like
Speaker 1: throw a little a little pass to the sideline and
Speaker 1: Sean Lee just comes flying up and he you know,
Speaker 1: it's a loss of six and it knocks him out
Speaker 1: of field goal range. You know. I mean, it's that's
Speaker 1: the kind of way or the interception he had in
Speaker 1: against you know where he's just like he's just gets
Speaker 1: him just right there and it hits him in the
Speaker 1: chest and You're like, that's a Sean Lee play. Nobody
Speaker 1: played the Eagles linebacker as a linebacker better the Eagles
Speaker 1: than than Seawan Lee. Did he? Layton Vanders, he has
Speaker 1: a Shawn Lee game. You're you're you're going the right direction.
Speaker 1: I was looking at the practice rapport from yesterday and
Speaker 1: just kind of the list on both sides. Ours, we're
Speaker 1: pretty okay, but their list is pretty long, and a
Speaker 1: lot of their guys are just limited. You know, they're
Speaker 1: gonna play and all that. So I wanted to ask, though, like,
Speaker 1: out of those guys, I mean, quote unquote, like whoever's
Speaker 1: banged up? Like, which guy would can the Cowboys benefit
Speaker 1: the most of that player being somewhat banged up. If
Speaker 1: you told me that Jason Kelsey wasn't going to play
Speaker 1: this game, I would jump up and down and cheer.
Speaker 1: And then Jordan my a lot of the big tackle
Speaker 1: because that means that Jack Driscoll comes in. I thought,
Speaker 1: my lot has been practicing. Yeah, That's what I'm saying though,
Speaker 1: but he's got I believe he's dealing with a shoulder.
Speaker 1: Uh already not practice. No, what you get the listing
Speaker 1: from ye did they have anybody that it seems like
Speaker 1: everybody on there has been they're playing. But what happened Kelsey?
Speaker 1: Kelsey practiced in like three plays in took himself out.
Speaker 1: So if you tell me that Cam Jurgens a center,
Speaker 1: and Cam Jurgens is a rookie center, and he'd be fine.
Speaker 1: But Cam Jurgens against what you're rolling through their defensive tackle,
Speaker 1: let me win that one. That would be one. Let
Speaker 1: me win, right, there's only one limited that. I'm pretty
Speaker 1: sure he is not gonna play Dak. All right, here
Speaker 1: we go. Let's get some predictions. What do you guys
Speaker 1: think it's gonna happen this weekend? Cowboys versus Eagles in
Speaker 1: Philadelphia on Sunday night. Let's start first with you Amber
Speaker 1: Well and I start speaking Spanish now, um, okay, bueno, No,
Speaker 1: We'll hold on. It's gonna be a really it's a
Speaker 1: whole new challenge for the team for the Cowboys. But
Speaker 1: you know, no way in Hell, on Earth, on heaven,
Speaker 1: or anywhere that my soul is would I ever pick
Speaker 1: Eagles to win a game against anybody, especially against the Cowboys.
Speaker 1: So I'm picking the Cowboys. It's gonna be a tough,
Speaker 1: tough matchup. I think I had them winning like twenty three,
Speaker 1: twenty one or something like that. It doesn't matter. The
Speaker 1: point is they're gonna win somehow. Someway, Danny Quinn is
Speaker 1: going to manage to other defense playing like badasses a game.
Speaker 1: There you go. Well, people already telling me I'm going
Speaker 1: to hell, so I don't have a soul or anything
Speaker 1: like that. So yeah, I think it's I think it's
Speaker 1: gonna be difficult for Dallas to score in this game.
Speaker 1: If Dak Prescott was playing this game, I would pick
Speaker 1: the Cowboys in this game. I'm gonna pick the Eagles
Speaker 1: twenty three thirteen. I think there's gonna be a lot
Speaker 1: of opportunities for the Cowboys to hold them and check.
Speaker 1: I think holding them with twenty three points is a
Speaker 1: really good day, by the way, against this Eagles offense.
Speaker 1: But I just worry about you scoring enough. I hope
Speaker 1: I'm wrong as always, But Eagles twenty three Dallas thirteen. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I've gone back and forth on this one. And you
Speaker 1: know the reason why I think I wanted to pick
Speaker 1: against the Cowboys. It's because it's like, is this really
Speaker 1: gonna keep going? I mean, can they can they keep
Speaker 1: this thing going? Like this? And then then I stop
Speaker 1: and think, well, why does Philly have to keep it going?
Speaker 1: I mean that they've won five in a row. It's
Speaker 1: not they're the only team in the league that hasn't lost.
Speaker 1: And you know, the history shows that you're going to lose,
Speaker 1: especially if you play close games like they have, So
Speaker 1: why do they have to keep it going? I'm gonna
Speaker 1: keep I'm gonna go with the Cowboys to win this
Speaker 1: game twenty to sixteen. I think it's going to be
Speaker 1: a fight all the way. I think they get that
Speaker 1: one more turnover and a costly turnover down in the
Speaker 1: red zone that that's going to help them win. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna tell you what, I just when I look at
Speaker 1: these two teams, I think they both have good offense.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think they both have good teams, both
Speaker 1: have good defenses. Philly's offense is played really well this year.
Speaker 1: Cowboys offense has done what it needed to do. But
Speaker 1: I also when I look at it a little closer,
Speaker 1: I believe more in the opponents that Dallas has played.
Speaker 1: And I look at teams like I'm sorry, teams like Cincinnati,
Speaker 1: teams like like Los Angeles, and I think both those
Speaker 1: teams when we get to the end of the season,
Speaker 1: are going to be right in the mix for the playoffs.
Speaker 1: They're gonna be really, I was gonna I was gonna
Speaker 1: tell you the Giants differently because I look at the Giants,
Speaker 1: people aren't giving, but they're four and one, yeah, and
Speaker 1: and and the Cowboys took it to them. And I
Speaker 1: look at that, and I look over on the other
Speaker 1: side of that, and what Philly has played, and I
Speaker 1: don't know that they've had the same level of competition
Speaker 1: at the Cowboys app and in all of those scenarios,
Speaker 1: Cowboys defense showed up big. I think they do the
Speaker 1: same thing this week, and I think come Monday, this
Speaker 1: is a statement game for the Cowboys. I think people
Speaker 1: look at the Cowboys very very differently after this game
Speaker 1: and say, yeah, I don't know if there's an offense
Speaker 1: other than maybe Buffalo Kansas City, those types of offenses
Speaker 1: that may give this Cowboys defense some problems. I think
Speaker 1: Cowboys win big twenty nine. I think it is not
Speaker 1: a close twenty to nine. I think they keep doing
Speaker 1: what they've been doing. I think the defense shuts them down,
Speaker 1: and I think the Cowboys offense does exactly what it's
Speaker 1: been doing just kind of get that number goes down again. Yeah, honestly,
Speaker 1: I just this defense I am. I'm a believer and
Speaker 1: until they show me, until I see an offense that
Speaker 1: can treat them in a way that that I haven't
Speaker 1: seen so far. Now, Tampa Bay, you can put that
Speaker 1: one out there. And although they had a good game,
Speaker 1: I don't even know if they knew exactly how good
Speaker 1: they could be. I think their confidence is going over
Speaker 1: these weeks. Yeah, I think this week they're funky game
Speaker 1: all the way around, and it just you know, that
Speaker 1: was one where I think you could really make the
Speaker 1: case even though you couldn't the year before. I think
Speaker 1: you could make the case that Dak just not doing
Speaker 1: anything in the preseason with and he needed to. I
Speaker 1: mean that's the thing, like with all the new receivers
Speaker 1: and new weapons, like they needed they needed that more
Speaker 1: than maybe they did kind of before. And I think
Speaker 1: the whole game you kind of can throw it out.
Speaker 1: Dad's a better quarterback than what he showed. Then. I
Speaker 1: think the defense is better than what they even show,
Speaker 1: So you know it happened you throw them out there.
Speaker 1: But I'll say this, I think although I don't think
Speaker 1: the offensive line is a bad I think Tampa Bay's
Speaker 1: offense is a better offense than Philadelphia. That's my personal opinion.
Speaker 1: And so I think that this week, I think this
Speaker 1: is dallas defense. You're gonna still see him get after him.
Speaker 1: It may not be to the same level, but they're
Speaker 1: gonna get after him, and they're gonna force them into
Speaker 1: some situations where we're gonna see just how good Jalen
Speaker 1: Hurts is. Shout out to the bros. But at the
Speaker 1: end of the day, at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: I do think Dallas's defense will will win out, and
Speaker 1: I think this team wins big in Philadelphia. All Right,
Speaker 1: real quick, I know we have to go. But you know,
Speaker 1: you guys always like to mention home field advantage and
Speaker 1: all that, Like, do you think that would be a
Speaker 1: problem this weekend. It's not. There'll be a lot there'll
Speaker 1: be a lot of There'll be a lot of really
Speaker 1: good Cowboy fans there though. Yeah, it will, but it won't. Bet.
Speaker 1: I can't. I can't remember a Philly Cowboy game where
Speaker 1: both teams are this good thisly like that. Like I
Speaker 1: think phil I think Philly fans are gonna show up.
Speaker 1: I think it'll be it'll it'll be a hostile environment,
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. But to be honest with you,
Speaker 1: I kind of think this team is built for that.
Speaker 1: Like they they played really good defense, and when we
Speaker 1: were about crowd noise, you're way more worried about the
Speaker 1: offense than the defense. I think they'll thrive in this.
Speaker 1: And this is also the kind of team they got,
Speaker 1: that kind of nastiness about them where they will they
Speaker 1: will revel in the idea of the opponent fans really
Speaker 1: getting after him and then want and shut them up.
Speaker 1: You know who is you know what else is playing
Speaker 1: at home? Michael Parsons. There you go, back the Pennsylvania
Speaker 1: Here we go. All right, appreciate you guys, Jonnas. We'll
Speaker 1: be back on Monday. Let you know what went right
Speaker 1: and wrong for the Cowboys. Will be a little tired,
Speaker 1: but we'll until then. For Nick even Brian brought us
