Speaker 1: bringing you Week six, episode number one on a victory Monday,

8
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 1: even though it is a bit somber of a victory Monday,

9
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: as the Dallas Cowboys get a thirty seven thirty four

10
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: win over the New York Giants in their first Divisional

11
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: matchup inside the NFC East yesterday. However, that comes at

12
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: a pretty hefty price, as Dak Prescott was injured in

13
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: the third quarter six minutes and thirty three seconds left

14
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 1: on the clock, and he has a compound fracture of

15
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: his right ankle. If you haven't heard already, he is

16
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,199
Speaker 1: most likely out for the season and quite some time.

17
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: We're gonna break you down for you the win, the injury,

18
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: and what the Cowboys can do moving forward into what

19
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 1: is a long week before the Arizona Cardinals coming up

20
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: on Monday Night football. I'm Kyle Yeoman's alongside Rob Phillips,

21
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: Heck Harrison and Isaiah standback and Chris Beam is in

22
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 1: the back, and guys, it really is a somber morning.

23
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: I'm wearing the Dallas Cowboys Dak Prescott shirt from the

24
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: Pro Shop just to just send some kind of positivity

25
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: this way. And of course our thoughts and prayers are

26
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: with him. He is out of surgery, a successful surgery yesterday.

27
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: But Rob, that was definitely a scene that nobody's gonna

28
00:01:55,760 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: forget anytime soon. Yeah, this uh twenty twenty has been

29
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: no fun, and this Cowboy season is no fun right now.

30
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: I'm telling you what. I'm just I'm waiting for the

31
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 1: Aliens at this point to beam down like I've we've

32
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,399
Speaker 1: seen it all, I mean, and I hope, I hope

33
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 1: we've seen it all at this point. Um, you know

34
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: you said it, Kyle. The Cowboys sent out an announcement

35
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: this morning I think at six am that Dak did

36
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: have successful surgery um to fix that fracture and dislocation

37
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 1: of the compound fracture and he should be discharged from

38
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: the hospital today, So that's really good news. And now

39
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 1: you know he's gonna begin a long recovery and we

40
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: don't really have a timetable on it yet. UM I'm

41
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 1: sure it's gonna be many months, and you know, the

42
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: hope would be I would assume that he could get

43
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: back for you know, full go for the started training

44
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: camp next year. But we'll see what that timeline is. UM.

45
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, guys. I uh, I know we're

46
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: gonna talk about the game at some point here, but

47
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: that that second half after the injury is kind of

48
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: a blur to me. I need to go back and

49
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: watch it because you know, the silence in the stadium

50
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 1: and the silence in the press box is unlike anything

51
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: I've ever heard after that injury. And I think it

52
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 1: had a lot to do with the fact that not

53
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: just a serious, serious injury for a star player, but Dad,

54
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: it's Dak. You know, Dak doesn't get hurt. Dak doesn't

55
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: get hurt at all, much less something of this severity,

56
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,639
Speaker 1: and he's always kind of seemed indestructible. You know. I

57
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: don't think he's ever missed a complete series in his

58
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: five year Cowboys career. It's so far due to injury.

59
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: It's just wild and we obviously wish him the best. Well,

60
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: fellas you know that you know the saying, well, this

61
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: guy by the name of Murphy came out with a

62
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:46,119
Speaker 1: law and he must have been having a horrible day

63
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: when he said, what can go wrong will go wrong.

64
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: And I think we've seen that after the first five

65
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: weeks of football, and man, it was heartbreaking. It was

66
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: heartbreaking to see Dak laying then well when he soon

67
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: as he grabbed his his leg, you could see that

68
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: that ankle wasn't it wasn't good, and I can't, you know,

69
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: for a guy like Dad to have this injury, like

70
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: you said, Rob, knowing how durable he's been and not

71
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: missing a game, you know, you you just and knowing

72
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: everything that he had at State coming into this season,

73
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,919
Speaker 1: you know, your heart just breaks for him because of

74
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 1: everything that he invested and where he was going. I mean,

75
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: his numbers were trended trending through the roof and this

76
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: was going to be a history making season for him statistically,

77
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 1: but for this team, for this team, and just to

78
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: see our guys in their response and coming from the

79
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 1: sideline to you know, pat him on the head and

80
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 1: pray with him there on the on the ground. Man.

81
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 1: It just talks about this. It says more about this

82
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 1: team and the brotherhood that they share, but also of

83
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: who Dak Prescott it is to them, and I just,

84
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 1: you know, from from a Cowboys family standpoint, we just

85
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 1: we've got to come together and we've got to you know,

86
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 1: put this season all our backs in and they got

87
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 1: to put the season on their backs in and and

88
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 1: have something positive come from this. Because man, even in

89
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: a win against the Giants, it kind of feels like

90
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: a loss. Man. Yeah, I mean, there's no way around it.

91
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 1: But saying that this just sucks. Um, I know I

92
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: can't watch injuries like that because I've seen too many

93
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 1: of them, um, and I've experienced them so um, it

94
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 1: gives me too much of a flashback to go and

95
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 1: watch things of this nature. Um, it's just a it's

96
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: a bad play. It just unfortunately, you know, you don't

97
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 1: want it to happen to anybody, period, point blank. This

98
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 1: is the part of football that you know is real.

99
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: This is the part of football that you know exists,

100
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: and it happens. Um, you just always hopeful that it

101
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: doesn't happen. To you, and when it does happen, if

102
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: it happens to you, um, it's not real at that moment. Um.

103
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: So I know you alluded to Dak, you know, reaching

104
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 1: for his ankle. I've I've had you know, I've blown

105
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: my foot out, I've torn my achilles. Um. When those

106
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: things happens, this isn't real, you know what I'm saying,

107
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: Like this, this isn't happening at this moment. Like and

108
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: I can tell you that you're you're in an almost

109
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 1: in a state of shock because it's just like, there's

110
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 1: no way this is happening right now. Um. And at

111
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 1: that at that moment, everything everything that you've invested, everybody

112
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: that's that's supporting you, everybody that you're responsible for, everything

113
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 1: that you ever hoped and dream for, is now going.

114
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 1: It's rushing through your head. I can't even tell you.

115
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: It's at warp speed and every single thing that you

116
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 1: you know, I can I can only imagine. You know,

117
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 1: Dak's probably thinking about his mom. I'm thinking about his brother,

118
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:45,919
Speaker 1: you know, thinking about you know, his contract. I mean,

119
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 1: everything was just rushing through his head. It's just simultaneously,

120
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: while he's looking at his legs, this This is not

121
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 1: happening to me right now. This can't be. I've worked

122
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 1: too hard. I've put too much work in to get

123
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: to this point, to put out these performances, to get

124
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: to this team. That it's too much. Um. And I

125
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 1: feel for him, Yeah, but you know he will be back.

126
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: He will be back, UM And you know he will

127
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: be back, you know, probably better than he than he

128
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: was before. I can tell you that the body does heal,

129
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: but it's a long process, and he's gonna mentally. This

130
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: is good. It's gonna be tougher mentally on him then

131
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: it will be physically because because your body will heal,

132
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: you can control that portion. Right. You have amazing training staff,

133
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 1: amazing doctors here with the Cowboys, these guys, I can

134
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,679
Speaker 1: tell you, I've I've went through three surgeries with these guys.

135
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: They know what the heck they're doing. M So he

136
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: will be perfectly fine in that regard, But mentally he's

137
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: gonna need to stay around these guys. Mentally, this team's

138
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: gonna have to surround him mentally, this community, Cowboys Nation

139
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: is going to have to support the crap out of

140
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: him going forward in order for him to bounce back

141
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 1: the way in which he needs to now, Isaiah, kind

142
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: of going off of that. First off, I want to

143
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: mention doctor Jean Curry was the one that did the

144
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: surgery last night that was successful on the ankle. He's

145
00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: an elite company whenever it comes to the reconstructuction of

146
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: athletes and ankles and things of the sword. He's one

147
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 1: of the best in the world. So Dak Prescott was

148
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 1: in great hands there, Like you mentioned a moment ago,

149
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: but you also talk about how you've been through this

150
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 1: and you've gone through this recovery in this rehab and

151
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: about the mental side of it. First off, how long

152
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: of a rehab is this coming back? I know this

153
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:23,239
Speaker 1: is just a speculation, it's not necessarily a concrete number,

154
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 1: but how long is the recovery and what was the

155
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: toughest part of your recovery coming back from a very

156
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 1: similar injury? For sure? Well, let me let me clarify

157
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: that our injuries were totally different. I had a complete

158
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: list frank injury where I tore all the ligaments in

159
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: my midfoot um my bones and my foot separated, so

160
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: they had to literally go in and reconstruct my foot um.

161
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: So my timeline was nine to twelve months I also

162
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 1: did that injury in October. I mean I did not

163
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: come back. I didn't touch the field until I think

164
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: the second week in training camp with the Cowboys. I

165
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 1: did that injury coming into the league. So that was

166
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: about it. That was about a ten month over it

167
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: just for me to touch the field. I mean probably

168
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: twelve month recovery before. I for I felt like I

169
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 1: I'm even somewhat or even a reflection of my old self. UM.

170
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 1: And in that situation, you know, luckily this is bones right,

171
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: and and bone heals in very well. UM. Screws help bones. UM,

172
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,679
Speaker 1: so they're the What we don't know is if there

173
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: was any ligament damage. Ligaments suck. Ligaments, UM are no fun.

174
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: Ligaments take a long time. UM. It's not something that

175
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 1: you can rush. It's not something that you can accelerate. UM.

176
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 1: There's medicine has come a long way. UM. These doctors

177
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: know every every every method, every piece of technology. These

178
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: guys were ahead of the game. So UM, people can

179
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 1: rest is sure that he's gonna be fine. I would

180
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: probably project that he'd probably be six to sixty to

181
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: nine months UM and then summer somewhere in that range. UM,

182
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 1: which is fine. I mean, he'll he'll miss this season, um,

183
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: and he would, like I said, he will come back

184
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: and he will be perfectly fine. But but there's a

185
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 1: lot of other the business side of it, that conversation

186
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: will come up. Um. And this is why guys hate

187
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 1: franchise tags. This is why guys want franchise tags removed,

188
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: because you work your butt off to put yourself into

189
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: situation to where hey, I've I've handled my obligations right

190
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: and now I want to go out and get the

191
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 1: country that I want. And for somebody to have the

192
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:18,439
Speaker 1: ability to place a hand on you and say you

193
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 1: can't go anywhere without any long term security, this is

194
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: the worst case scenario for him business wise. Yeah, I

195
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 1: mean it's tough from a business standpoint because you look

196
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,199
Speaker 1: at it with Dak Prescott. He got his thirty plus

197
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: million dollars on the franchise tag. But what is that

198
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 1: conversation going to be moving forward with the injury now involved.

199
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily want to get into that at least

200
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,559
Speaker 1: at this very moment based off of the recent side

201
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,319
Speaker 1: of it. And plus there's a long season left to go.

202
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: We've got eleven games left with Andy Dalton, a quarterback,

203
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: things are going to play itself out whenever that time comes.

204
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,439
Speaker 1: That time has definitely not come yet, but Rob, whenever

205
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: you're looking at this team now, and Andy Dalton was

206
00:10:56,280 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: able to make a pretty fantastic comeback final drive piecing

207
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: it together. This isn't your normal backup quarterback. And I

208
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: tweeted this last night or early this morning as well,

209
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: talking about just a way a veteran quarterback you can

210
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: tell as a veteran quarterback. He showed that yesterday when

211
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: he came up to the Linus scrimmage that sacked on

212
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 1: his first play, and then the second play resulted in

213
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 1: a time out called by New York because he went

214
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: up to the LINU scrimmage and audibled out of the

215
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: original play and really made Joe Judge uneasy when it

216
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: came to the defensive side of the football. But what

217
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 1: does Andy Dalton bring to this team that allows this

218
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: season to not necessarily come to an end here in

219
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 1: Week five? Oh? Just like you mentioned, a ton of experience.

220
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 1: He's not used to the role he's been in. He's

221
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,959
Speaker 1: been a starter for ten years in the NFL, been

222
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:48,559
Speaker 1: to three Pro Bowls, has been through some tough times

223
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,719
Speaker 1: and also had a lot of success, and I mean,

224
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: the Cowboys can't ask for a better silver lining to

225
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 1: a really horrible situation because I think Heckma brought this

226
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: backup in May when he was signed to the contract.

227
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 1: I mean, he's probably the best quarterback in his prime

228
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 1: that the Cowboys have had since Bernie Kozar in the

229
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 1: early nineties when the when the Cowboys were winning Super

230
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: Bowls back up to Troy Aitman. I mean, they've had

231
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 1: some good ones lately. You know, John Kittna, Kyle Orton,

232
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 1: Matt Castle, who is you know, not the same player

233
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 1: when he was here. Andy Dalton can still sling it.

234
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: We saw it. And the thing that's encouraging to me is, look,

235
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: we've learned you can't trust everything you see in training camp.

236
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 1: But he had a really good training camp and he

237
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: and he connection reps was really good. And those two

238
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: plays downfield of Michael Gallup, I mean that that is

239
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: really encouraging that that's already in place going forward. And

240
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 1: but you know, there is no substitute for Dak and

241
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 1: what everything he can give you in terms of his

242
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 1: versatility and I think you know, not being quite as

243
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 1: mobile as Dak with a compromise offensive line is something

244
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 1: we gotta watch going forward and see how that works,

245
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 1: because because Dak really can buy himself out of trouble. Yep,

246
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: and rob your own point when you point to the

247
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 1: offensive line, because schematically that's going to change a lot

248
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,319
Speaker 1: of the things that we do with our playbook now

249
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,839
Speaker 1: that we have Andy Dalton, because you're right, he doesn't

250
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: have the same legs that Dak has, but maybe that

251
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 1: is something that will work in our advantage to kind

252
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 1: of balancing this team out and they'll have to take

253
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 1: the air out of the ball with the running game.

254
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:36,439
Speaker 1: But I just I believe for Andy Dalton and his experience,

255
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: that's gonna be valuable for us. You're talking about a

256
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 1: guy that came from the AFC North with defenses that

257
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: had Ray Lewis own It and James Harrison. I mean,

258
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 1: this is a guy that has had to read and

259
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: react very fast to what he's seeing, and I think

260
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 1: that may be the one great up that he has

261
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: is the ability to process what he's seeing in real time.

262
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: Not saying that Dak is not there, I'm just saying

263
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 1: the experience of Andy Dalton may give you a leg

264
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 1: up to that regard he can still make all the throws.

265
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 1: H He's a guy like you. Like you said, Kyle,

266
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 1: he was able to audible out of a play because

267
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: he's recognizing what he's seeing. I'm excited about the opportunity

268
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: that Andy Dalton is gonna get all bid. Obviously, I

269
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: never wanted to see him because I wanted Dad to

270
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 1: finish this thing out. But here we are, you know,

271
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: here we are, and we have to talk about the

272
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: possibilities of having success with a tenure veteran and Andy Dalton,

273
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: and heck, check me out, man this. I know a

274
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: lot of people. Obviously, everybody's bummed about dak as a

275
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 1: very well should be lost, a great, great player and

276
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 1: a great man, a great leader on his team for

277
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 1: this season. But make no mistakes, any Dalton is a

278
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 1: top twenty five quarterback in this league. I don't care

279
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: what anybody has to say, and I'll argue that point

280
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 1: all day long. He's a top twenty five quarterback. Any

281
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: Dalton was coming here because he needed a a release,

282
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: he needed or he needed to relax for a year

283
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: from the everything that he endured for the past teen

284
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 1: years and Cincinnati, as you guys can probably imagine, all

285
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 1: the stressors that he had. They're trying to turn a

286
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 1: bad team, a bad organization, into a productive one. Right,

287
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: So he came to Dallas, and my thought, my ideology,

288
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 1: is that he came to Dallas to say, who let

289
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 1: me come here. This is home, right, I have a

290
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 1: crib here, my family wants to be here. Let me

291
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: go and relax. I can still stay in ball. I

292
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: can practice every day. I could be a formidable backup

293
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: to somebody who's never missed a game. Right. So I

294
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 1: have no intentions really of needing to go in the game,

295
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 1: but I'm there if they need me. Guess what they

296
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: need you. He's going to take care of businesses due

297
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: as an amazing passer. He's a precisely precision passer. He

298
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: worked with aj Green, Obviously he knows what the heck

299
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: to do with that. He had Ifford, He had all

300
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 1: these guys out there, so he's used to having a

301
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 1: couple of dogs with him. He's not used to having

302
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: all these dogs with him. Sold As you talk about

303
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 1: the opportunities that he has going for it, Cowboys fans,

304
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 1: you got everybody's in great hands. Great hands, not good hands,

305
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 1: great hands. We lost Dak, but you replace them with

306
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: another starter and a top, top guy in this league.

307
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 1: It's funny, how you know, we've talked about all the

308
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 1: signings they've made in the off season, this has turned

309
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 1: out to be the best signing they've made me. I mean,

310
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: you can't ask for a better insurance situation. And you're

311
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: right as when he signed here, you know, he talked

312
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 1: about being home. He didn't flat out say, you know,

313
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 1: obviously COVID has created difficult circumstances for everybody, but he

314
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 1: didn't say that's why he signed here. But obviously it's

315
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 1: it's it's comfort for him with his family here. But

316
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: he said, look, this is an opportunity to set myself

317
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 1: up for the second half of my career. And so

318
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: you know, probably thinking in mind he's going to have

319
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: some starting opportunities elsewhere after the season, and now he's

320
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 1: got a chance to really show other teams what he

321
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 1: can do back in a starting role. Well, and also,

322
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 1: I think you bring to the table of the point

323
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 1: that I saw this on Twitter yesterday, but a lot

324
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: of people still think he might be the best quarterback

325
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 1: in this division. And I think other than maybe you

326
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: can maybe have that conversation with Carson Wentz. But even there,

327
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 1: you still might have a better quarterback based off of

328
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 1: the way the Wins has played twenty twenty so far.

329
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: So right now you're set up in good hands. But

330
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: is he also the best backup quarterback in the entire

331
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 1: league at this point? Because I don't know looking around down,

332
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. I'm looking around and I'm not

333
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,159
Speaker 1: necessarily seeing anybody out there ready to take over. Just

334
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: as much as Andy Dalton Isaiah Kyle's he's not a backup.

335
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,439
Speaker 1: He's not as he chose to be a backup. He

336
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 1: chose to be a backup. Andy Dalton could have easily

337
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:28,880
Speaker 1: went off and played for twenty twenty five million dollars

338
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:32,639
Speaker 1: a year this past year. I wanted to easily easily. Yeah,

339
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: it's not it's not even a competition. He's better than

340
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:38,439
Speaker 1: ten quarterbacks in this league right now. That are certain jobs.

341
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: So this was a choice for him. He chose this.

342
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 1: He wanted to chill for a minute, right but he

343
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 1: needed he needed to He needed to to reload man,

344
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 1: and he made the decision to come. He turned here

345
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,199
Speaker 1: to Dallas. This was not his only option. Let's not

346
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:55,159
Speaker 1: make that mistake by saying he's a backup. He was

347
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,919
Speaker 1: the backup to the deck. But by choice, you can.

348
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 1: You can play a game with yourself and go round

349
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,399
Speaker 1: the league and try to name the backup quarterbacks for

350
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 1: other teams. It's hard, man, it's hard. There's certain teams

351
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:07,880
Speaker 1: like you, Hey, who's Aaron Rodgers backup? I can't tell

352
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 1: you off the top of my head, right, Jordan Rodgers,

353
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:14,120
Speaker 1: you know that's that's that's how unique. Not his name

354
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:19,439
Speaker 1: whatever his name was, bad example, bad example. But you

355
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Jordan Rodgers. We got we got

356
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 1: to rob Yeah, dude, you guys a trip Rogers. I mean,

357
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 1: look you no, no, no, but but reason man, we're

358
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 1: all of our heads are in the fall right now

359
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 1: because we're having to deal with the fact that we

360
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 1: won the game and we lost our uh we lost

361
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 1: our quarterback. But you know, when you look at Andy Dalton,

362
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,120
Speaker 1: he is a guy that can give us we can

363
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,640
Speaker 1: have some success with all of the pieces that are

364
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,199
Speaker 1: around him. Now, if he didn't have any of the

365
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: guys around him, maybe you would have questions, but we

366
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:59,399
Speaker 1: still Zeke is there, Coop is there? Gallop had a game,

367
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 1: See Lamb had an amazing game. I mean, there's so

368
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 1: many things to unpack. We still got to talk about

369
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 1: our defense and just yeah, everything that's going on there,

370
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 1: but receiving watch is staying on the right track receiving wise,

371
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: Michael gallup Man, those two catches for him with him

372
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: were men. Those were outstanding catches and like I said,

373
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: ceedee lamb, just what an amazing game for the rookie.

374
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,159
Speaker 1: You're exactly right, and heck was getting ahead of the

375
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:28,159
Speaker 1: on the rundown a little bit because we do have

376
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: to break down this game. Even though it's it's it's

377
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 1: really tough to get into it and really evaluate correctly

378
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,439
Speaker 1: because of the Dak injury. And we'll get into that

379
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: coming up here. On the other side of the break.

380
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 1: We're gonna step aside for a moment. We'll be back

381
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,400
Speaker 1: with more on the offense and just how good those

Speaker 1: we continue on following a thirty seven thirty four win

424
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 1: over the New York Giants yesterday, and this is another

425
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 1: game where it took a slow start to the Cowboys,

426
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 1: to say the least. I mean, what's kind of forgotten?

427
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:32,959
Speaker 1: What's kind of forgotten in this game as you were

428
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 1: down seventeen to three in the first quarter, and yes,

429
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 1: a team that had only scored forty seven points entering

430
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,159
Speaker 1: the day had scored seventeen on you immediately. Now that

431
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: was partly because of the pick six for fact, role

432
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: early in that ball game out of the linebacking corps.

433
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 1: But overall, guys, let's kind of move past the Deak

434
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 1: Prescott injury for now and breakdown what this team brought

435
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 1: to the table yesterday. They got to win, they got

436
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: the job done, heckmup. But overall it still wasn't very

437
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:04,399
Speaker 1: pretty at the beginning. Well, no it wasn't. And I

438
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:08,399
Speaker 1: think the pick six by Dak it and it set

439
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 1: down being down seventeen to three. I know, for me

440
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,920
Speaker 1: it was like, you know, hello darkness, my old friend. Um,

441
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:19,120
Speaker 1: this just I didn't want to see it. I felt like,

442
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,160
Speaker 1: you know, are we just snake bit? Is this is

443
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 1: gonna be us? Are we just that terrible? In the

444
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 1: first half? But then there's another side of me that said, oh,

445
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 1: we're down by two scores, now I signed the party,

446
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 1: and that was exactly what it was. And in the

447
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:36,359
Speaker 1: second quarter, the offense comes out and Dak is just

448
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 1: you know, throwing the ball all over the place. The

449
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 1: running game is getting going. You're seeing Ezekiel get those yards,

450
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 1: the yards that to get us ahead of the chains,

451
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 1: those things that just make it so much easier, easier

452
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 1: to get in the rhythm, as you know, for your offense.

453
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 1: But man, defensively, this Giant team hadn't scored since Week

454
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: two against Chicago, and the first half, man, we made

455
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,880
Speaker 1: them look like an offensive jergonnaut I mean, that's that's

456
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,640
Speaker 1: what we do when we're giving up so many points.

457
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 1: That that's the part about it that worries me. But

458
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 1: even though we have been dogging a lot of guys

459
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 1: on this defense, the defense in the fourth quarter is

460
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 1: the reason why we had an opportunity to win the game.

461
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:25,399
Speaker 1: So it's so much good, it's so much bad. But

462
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:32,920
Speaker 1: at the same time we got the victory. These yeah,

463
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:37,120
Speaker 1: um on the offensive side of the ball, we talked

464
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 1: about how there might have been some plays in the

465
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 1: past that should have been turnovers, right there just hadn't

466
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 1: been well. We saw that early on in the game,

467
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 1: that that those mistakes. That guy he was on a

468
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 1: judge machine this week. He saw the video before he

469
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 1: get to the game, right, So he wasn't gonna let

470
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: that get out of his hands. So I hit him

471
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 1: right in the hands. And so did Hey, so did

472
00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 1: nine balls in the previous four games. Right, So you know,

473
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 1: those are the mistakes that we obviously can't have as

474
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 1: a team. Um. You know, and these receivers are what

475
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 1: we thought they were there. There's some dudes out there. Um.

476
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: I was impressed. Um, I know Kyle's boy. Um. The

477
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 1: number one fan for for CD LAMB is Kyle and

478
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 1: you know he's been catching the ball really well. My

479
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: question mark for CD this year has been can he

480
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 1: take a hit? Right? I mean he I mean he

481
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 1: looks like a popsicle stick out there. He sold light. Um.

482
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 1: But but he took some hits, um, and he impressed me.

483
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 1: He made a believer out of me. I was like, Okay,

484
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 1: that one question mark that I have for him is gone.

485
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 1: Now the boy could take a hit. He took about

486
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 1: two or three of them. I think he took one

487
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: to the head. Another one to the chace. He made

488
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 1: some dog on trick catches. They have what they want

489
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 1: at receiver, no question about it. Um. You know this

490
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 1: officer line showed up that Zeke started running like Zeke.

491
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 1: He was giving some lanes to run a few times

492
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 1: and he was able to run like Zeke runs. You

493
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: could see his physicality coming in, lowering his head really

494
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 1: delivering blows of people being physic cool. Um, But then

495
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,399
Speaker 1: you look at another side of the ball, right, and

496
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 1: the other side of the ball is what we thought

497
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 1: they were as well. Um, And I know you said that.

498
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 1: You know these guys showed up in the fourth quarter.

499
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,879
Speaker 1: They played like they're supposed to play in the fourth quarter.

500
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 1: I can't give credit for guys doing their job, like

501
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,680
Speaker 1: that's your job. Your job's not to be like Poe

502
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 1: and get blocked every dog on play and simply collect

503
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 1: a check. Sorry, if I see him, I tell them too.

504
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 1: It's just do we gotta there's the guys on this

505
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 1: team to have to step up and and it's just

506
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 1: it's just not happening, right, It's just it's not even

507
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:37,679
Speaker 1: just just be who you are, just be, just be

508
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 1: the good player that you are. We don't ask you

509
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 1: to be great. Just be good and handle your responsibilities

510
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 1: and assignments are not being taken care of, and hopefully

511
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 1: they figure it out because offenses get better, Yes they do.

512
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 1: I mean I had concern going in just because of

513
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:55,879
Speaker 1: what we've seen, the struggles they've had regardless of who

514
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,719
Speaker 1: they're playing and the Giants. You know, I think by

515
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:00,439
Speaker 1: the end of the game they only had three point

516
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 1: something yards per carry. But again early in the game

517
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:06,640
Speaker 1: they found something. Last week second half against the Rams,

518
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 1: they were able to find running lanes early, and you know,

519
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 1: they Cowboys tightened some things up defensively by the end

520
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 1: of it. I think they find I think the pressure

521
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 1: started to affect Daniel Jones as the game went on.

522
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:19,640
Speaker 1: I thought Tank Lawrence was really active in the game

523
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 1: and that kind of wore them down. They they they

524
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:25,719
Speaker 1: went to a dime package late. I thought Darian Thompson

525
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 1: did some good things playing as a dime linebacker for

526
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: him late. But I mean, these slow starts are They're

527
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 1: just stressful, man. They're exhausting watching, you know, fall down

528
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:38,919
Speaker 1: by two scores to a Giants team that's been averaging

529
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 1: eleven points per game. And I thought the thing I

530
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 1: really liked that the offense did was after they fell

531
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 1: down seventeen to three, they had a fourteen play seventy

532
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 1: five yard drive and it had eleven runs in that drive, Yes,

533
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 1: mostly by Zeke. They said, I think Kellen Moore said,

534
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:00,640
Speaker 1: you know what, or Mike McCarthy said, you know what,

535
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 1: We've got to protect our defense. We got I don't

536
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 1: care what the score is. We have to establish balance.

537
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,679
Speaker 1: We cannot do this deal where we've been slinging it

538
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 1: around and risk turnovers because we're asking Dak to drop

539
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,119
Speaker 1: back too much with an offensive line that's banged up.

540
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,440
Speaker 1: They got back to their balance, man, and it worked,

541
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 1: and I think it helped Zeke. It helped establish Zeke,

542
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:22,680
Speaker 1: and I wonder going forward with a you know, and he's,

543
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 1: like we said, he's not a backup quarterback. But with

544
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,120
Speaker 1: Andy in the game, now, do they try to lean

545
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 1: on that a little bit more, take the air aft

546
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 1: ball a little bit more and try to help Andy out,

547
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:34,360
Speaker 1: Try to help your defense out and lean on Zeke

548
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,919
Speaker 1: because that's that's what they've done in the past and

549
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 1: it's been successful as long as they can create those lanes. Rob,

550
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 1: I'm so happy you pointed out that drive, because that

551
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 1: drive was therapeutic for our defense. Those eleven runs gave

552
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 1: those guys an opportunities to calm down and just get

553
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 1: back in this game. We need as a franchise, We

554
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 1: need it that drive. And it would be interesting because

555
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 1: when they kept showing over to the sideline, it looked

556
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 1: to me like Mike McCarthy was calling the offense right then.

557
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,479
Speaker 1: He had the laminated play sheet in front of them.

558
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 1: Obviously he's wearing a mask so you can't see what

559
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 1: he's saying, but it looked to me it appeared that

560
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 1: he was making those calls. But still, those ere level runs,

561
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 1: it just slowed everything down for this team. And it

562
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 1: was a drive, you know, fourteen plays, however many minutes

563
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 1: you said it was, but it definitely gave us what

564
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 1: we needed in order to, you know, steal the lead

565
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 1: going into half. How about that leading a ball game

566
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 1: going into half. I liked them, Yeah, I mean, I

567
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 1: see you sprinkling that little the little McCarthy call play

568
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 1: calling in there too. You think it's um no, But

569
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 1: I mean what that was was time management. That was

570
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 1: that was a time of possession management. And I think

571
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 1: for the fifth straight week we've lost that battle collectively, right,

572
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 1: and and this this is where we have to improve.

573
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 1: That's when I say that, like the character of the

574
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 1: actual geology of this team is run first, and you're

575
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 1: It doesn't take away you're ability to throw the ball, right,

576
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 1: but as we get into these later months, you have

577
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 1: to be able to run the ball, and then most

578
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: of the team that runs the ball the best is

579
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 1: going to be probably be the most successful at least

580
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 1: on that side of the ball. So that was an

581
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 1: amazing driven Hopefully we can see more of that going

582
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 1: forward now with that drive being in mind, and the

583
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 1: running game totally because Ezekiel Elliott's about nineteen carries, still

584
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 1: below usually his career average, but he did have ninety

585
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 1: one yards one hundred and five yards total if you

586
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 1: add in what he did in the receiving game. But

587
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 1: what did you guys think about the offensive line? Of

588
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 1: course that's been overshadowed because of the storyline with the

589
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 1: Dalton and the defense and the Dack injury, of course,

590
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 1: but what did you guys think about the offensive line,

591
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 1: Isaiah and what they were able to piece together yesterday?

592
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 1: Because I thought Terrence Steele had a better game. I

593
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 1: thought Tyler Beotish played well, but still is a unit

594
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 1: that's a little shaky from time to time. Yes, it's

595
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 1: a little shaky, I mean, but so much of the

596
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 1: offensive line is continuity, especially when it comes to the

597
00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 1: running to the passing game. If you're not in the sync,

598
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 1: if you I haven't been eating lunch, uh, you know,

599
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 1: having breakfast, sitting on the toilet next to year, next year,

600
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 1: to your guy that's next year, I mean, then you're

601
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:10,239
Speaker 1: not You're not in the sync, right, Um, But so

602
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 1: much that that that unit is the most the most instnct.

603
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 1: They they're like a brotherhood, right. They have to spend

604
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 1: some time together. They have to know what each other's

605
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: thinking because there's so many things on that defensive line

606
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 1: that has to get passed off. Guys are stunning, blitzers

607
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 1: are coming, communication, nonverbal communication, there's so much that goes on.

608
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 1: So these guys just have to get some time together.

609
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 1: But I like be honest, man, I like this kid.

610
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 1: I like him a lot. I like his attitude. He's

611
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 1: gritty man, and you have to have that on the

612
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 1: office a line. I don't think that we have any

613
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 1: mean office alignment. He's the first I think, um, and

614
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 1: I think that those guys are going to take on

615
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 1: that personality and you saw a little bit of that

616
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 1: yesterday as guys who are trying to finish some blocks

617
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 1: off they talk go ahead. No, I'm just complimenting. Guys

618
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 1: there all taking be honest out of this waddling claw

619
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 1: and gotta be hue is I said, you got you

620
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 1: gotta put him out there to see what the guy

621
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 1: has and I think he's proven that he's our starting center.

622
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 1: But I'm I'm just saying, smelly stickers for the whole

623
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 1: offensive line, guys did their jobs and you know you

624
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 1: hate again, you hate to see Dak go down on

625
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 1: a design run. I think we all would say that

626
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 1: for the offensive line. We worried for Dak just standing

627
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 1: in the pocket. But man, they did a great job

628
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 1: at you know, keeping guys off of them and also

629
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 1: opening up those running lanes for zeke H in the

630
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 1: letter half of the game. So kudos goes out to

631
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 1: the offensive line. The guys that have had big question

632
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 1: marks and they've taken a they've been steamrolled by the media.

633
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 1: These guys got to be feeling good about themselves in

634
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 1: the job they did. Yeah, two sacks given up and

635
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 1: you guys mentioned the running lanes, Like, I just felt

636
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 1: like it was too early. I know that they've been

637
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 1: the run game has been ripped it. I just feel

638
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 1: like it's been kind of a small sample size. Say

639
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 1: they can't run it because they've either had add the

640
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 1: scoreboard being a situation or they've just kind of refused

641
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 1: to do it, and they've been more pass heavy early

642
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 1: on in the season. And yeah, it showed up, and

643
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 1: that's really encouraging going forward, and you kind of see why.

644
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:16,479
Speaker 1: You know, Mike McCarthy did, he's I think he's adverse

645
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 1: to changing out too many spots on the offensive line.

646
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 1: We discussed Zach Martin, should he kick out to write tackle.

647
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: If he had done that, the Cowboys would have had

648
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 1: four changes to their starting lineup since early in the

649
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 1: game last week, and with Connor Williams being the only

650
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 1: constant guy there. So you're right, they're they're trying to

651
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 1: establish some sort of continuity and maybe they can they

652
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 1: can build on that going forward, and maybe you get

653
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 1: Cam Fleming back this week as a potential option or

654
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,960
Speaker 1: at least some depth there at tackle. So maybe things

655
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 1: are pointing up the more they play together. But they're

656
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 1: awfully young, and again they don't have Dax's mobility back

657
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 1: there as much with Dalton when things break down going forward,

658
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 1: I don't want to I don't want to do this again,

659
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 1: but I am going to do it just for those

660
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 1: that are listening. Cam Ving is that the tackle that

661
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 1: would be coming back this week. Cam Fleming was on

662
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 1: the opposite sideline yesterday playing for the Did I say

663
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 1: it again? Did I say it again? Yeah? You did.

664
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,239
Speaker 1: I just want to make sure that that's clear. I'm

665
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:14,239
Speaker 1: not trying to bring any extra attention to it. You've

666
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 1: worked for the team for no but I wanted to say,

667
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 1: call me on it, call me on it. I'm yeah

668
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 1: better than that. Cam. Cam Irving is the trust people

669
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 1: that's coming off of I r by the way before

670
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 1: we before we end up having to break. I think

671
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: Heckma just created a new Talking Cowboys segment with his

672
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 1: smelly stickers. I think we need to do it from

673
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 1: every Monday from now on. I think we need to

674
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 1: give out our smelly Stickers of the week, kind of

675
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:46,840
Speaker 1: how they do the helmet stickers on college football for

676
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:48,880
Speaker 1: whoever had a good week. I think we've got to

677
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 1: give smelly stickers for Talking Cowboys like for Ohio States helmets. Yeah, exactly,

678
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 1: there you go. I mean I love it. I think

679
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 1: we've love it doing that. Moving forward, we'll talk about

680
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 1: it after the show. The Cowboys are back at and

Speaker 1: insider mister Rob Phillips. We got our residence super Bowl

732
00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 1: champion Isaiah stand back in the Great my Harrison joining

733
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:03,440
Speaker 1: us as always, I'm Kylie Olmen's driving the bus. And

734
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:05,920
Speaker 1: while I'm driving the bus, I've got a bone to

735
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:09,360
Speaker 1: pick with some people on social media and in the

736
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 1: media of Cowboys Nation. I've got just a very slight

737
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:18,280
Speaker 1: bone to pick. Nothing crazy, nothing crazy. My two words

738
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 1: are stop it. And the two words stop it referred

739
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 1: to stop trying to trade our top three wide receivers

740
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 1: every single week. Quit it. There's stop stop trying to

741
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:31,799
Speaker 1: do it. I know yesterday Amari didn't have a great game.

742
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:35,040
Speaker 1: Two receptions, twenty three yards. It's not your normal Amri game.

743
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 1: But he had a huge reception one on the final

744
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:39,799
Speaker 1: drive that got you a first down deep in your

745
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:42,400
Speaker 1: own territory, that allowed to drive to actually happen in

746
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 1: the next two plays to go to Michael Gallup. He

747
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 1: had a huge reception in crunch time that allowed you

748
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 1: to win that football game yesterday. Secondly, he had twelve

749
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:53,319
Speaker 1: receptions in one hundred and thirty four yards a week ago.

750
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:55,919
Speaker 1: Why are we trying to trade Amari Cooper this week?

751
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:57,879
Speaker 1: He tried to trade Michael Gallop this week. You see

752
00:38:57,920 --> 00:38:59,800
Speaker 1: what he did. Ceedee Lamb of course is not a

753
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 1: trade piece at all, just because he's incredible, and he

754
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 1: had all the yards yesterday, eight for one hundred and

755
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:09,399
Speaker 1: twenty four through the air yesterday. Stop trying to trade

756
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:11,440
Speaker 1: our three receivers. Wanted to get that out of the way.

757
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 1: It's a reason why team forty burgers alive and well

758
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 1: they even almost had forty yesterday, but they got to

759
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 1: win and that's all that matters. Just wanted to put

760
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:22,719
Speaker 1: that out there. However, Isaiah, I know you have a

761
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 1: bone to pick with a unit, a specific unit on

762
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 1: this Cowboys team, and it has to be that defensive

763
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 1: interior line and most notably a big number ninety five

764
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 1: in the middle of that interior of the defensive line.

765
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 1: As Dontaripo did not have a great game yesterday either.

766
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:41,840
Speaker 1: Where did this? Where does the push come from for

767
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 1: this Cowboys team overall, Isaiah? Hopefully from within. I mean

768
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:49,840
Speaker 1: that's where we're at. There's not enough free agents out there,

769
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 1: Snacks Harrison's gone. They have to care enough, man, And

770
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:58,239
Speaker 1: I I can't say it from sitting in his dog

771
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:00,040
Speaker 1: on chair and that they don't care, but I I

772
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 1: can tell you from being a former player, um, that

773
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 1: there's a sense of pride that comes with playing the game, man.

774
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 1: And it's it's not a parent that there's a lot

775
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:12,280
Speaker 1: of pride to being taken right now with this defensive

776
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 1: front collectively now individually, Yes, guys who are doing okay. Um,

777
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:19,399
Speaker 1: you see Alton Smith's show up, Um you see um

778
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:21,759
Speaker 1: A Noville. I think Gallamore did a good job coming

779
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:24,920
Speaker 1: in and hustling. I think technique wise, he's still at

780
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:27,360
Speaker 1: a disadvantage because he just doesn't know he's just he's

781
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:29,440
Speaker 1: he's he's still like almost like a teenager playing with

782
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:31,440
Speaker 1: the grown men. So at some point in time he

783
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:34,160
Speaker 1: will be good. But but I appreciate the effort, right,

784
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:36,760
Speaker 1: I appreciate the effort. Um. The probably your your biggest

785
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 1: hustler that you had on a D line was was

786
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 1: to Astriction Hill and we lost him yes day. Um.

787
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 1: And I'm not sure if they release his injury information yet,

788
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 1: but I have my speculations because I think I had

789
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 1: the same injury that he had, so he'll be out. Um,

790
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:52,800
Speaker 1: But I mean he hustled. He's probably the biggest hustler

791
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:54,840
Speaker 1: on that D line. So you lose your biggest hustler

792
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:57,680
Speaker 1: in the game. You're the guy who's playing in his

793
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 1: same position as him. Is it really doesn't appear to

794
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:03,399
Speaker 1: care to stop the ball or stop anything as he's

795
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 1: getting you could turn on the film. I mean, I'm

796
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:07,279
Speaker 1: just talking here, but turn on the film. There's plenty

797
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 1: of places where he's at the linebacker level. Um, simply

798
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 1: because he didn't he didn't care enough not to be

799
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:14,319
Speaker 1: at this linebacker level. These guys are These guys are

800
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:16,920
Speaker 1: pushing him back at his size and his weight, at

801
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:19,440
Speaker 1: his at his strength. That doesn't just happen unless you're

802
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 1: willingly allowing them to do so. Um. And it's not

803
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:23,799
Speaker 1: just him, I mean, this whole line has to show up.

804
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm disappointed, man, I'm disappointed. I sat on paper.

805
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 1: We have we have some dudes on paper. That's paper, man,

806
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 1: everybody got printers. Were we need these dudes and show

807
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:36,960
Speaker 1: up in ball? Yeah, And let me just say, you know,

808
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:42,200
Speaker 1: interior interior line wise, I think for these guys, especially

809
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:44,600
Speaker 1: the guys that not that were not here last year,

810
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 1: and I think as Cowboys Nation, we're looking at this

811
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 1: interial line and just looking at the difference between last

812
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:53,360
Speaker 1: year and this year. You see that like guys like MALIEK.

813
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 1: Collins for last year, they were you know, gap sound,

814
00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 1: they would get up the field very quickly. These guys

815
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:01,319
Speaker 1: aren't doing the same thing. And I think that has

816
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:03,640
Speaker 1: to do with the scheme that they're playing. That's asking

817
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:05,480
Speaker 1: them to do a lot more reading at the line

818
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 1: of scrimmage. And I don't know if those things are

819
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 1: what's contributing to guys getting just taking off the line

820
00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:14,600
Speaker 1: of scrimmage. And look, Isaiah, you're right, it's all about

821
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 1: effort and not allowing yourself to lose those individual battles.

822
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:22,279
Speaker 1: But all I'm saying from a philosophy or scheme standpoint,

823
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:25,560
Speaker 1: I can see that being one of the detailed differences

824
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:28,919
Speaker 1: between the Cowboys team defensive line last year and this year.

825
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:31,799
Speaker 1: But it just looks as though they are losing the

826
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, and especially in the first half against

827
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:38,200
Speaker 1: the Giants, and look for run, they were bringing back Freeman.

828
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:40,959
Speaker 1: You know, he was looking like he had new life

829
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:45,280
Speaker 1: in the league. But man, a lot of it comes

830
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:48,000
Speaker 1: down to pride. Neville Gallibar, he did give you some effort,

831
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:49,640
Speaker 1: but then there were other players where you're like, oh

832
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:52,439
Speaker 1: my god, he's getting dug out of there. But week

833
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:55,480
Speaker 1: by week by week, I'm hoping that this defense is

834
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:58,400
Speaker 1: able to get better because look, you have another challenge

835
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:03,520
Speaker 1: coming next week in Arizona Cars. Yeah, well, we'll get

836
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 1: into Kyler Murray later in the week, But what stood

837
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:09,359
Speaker 1: out to me Jalen Smith had a much better game

838
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 1: in terms of diagnosing things and and helping in the

839
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:14,960
Speaker 1: run game. I just think with you know, playing Kyler

840
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:18,600
Speaker 1: coming up there, teams continue to challenge the Cowboys to

841
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:22,200
Speaker 1: defense with the play action down around the goal line

842
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:24,120
Speaker 1: and just the play action in general, and and making

843
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 1: the Cowboys defense move laterally. You know some of these rollouts, Uh,

844
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:30,480
Speaker 1: they're testing the Cowboys that way. Yeah, and it's and

845
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:32,799
Speaker 1: it's it's still a problem, you know, it's and so

846
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 1: with the batchup a quarterback coming up, that's something to

847
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:37,799
Speaker 1: really keep an eye on because it's still something they've

848
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:40,720
Speaker 1: they've got to address and get better at. Man. Kyler

849
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:44,240
Speaker 1: Murray just on the schedule coming up, and DeAndre Hopkins

850
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:47,480
Speaker 1: and Christian Kirk and Larry FitzGeralds just kind of sits

851
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:50,160
Speaker 1: shivers down my spine. Especially with the defense coming up.

852
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:52,480
Speaker 1: It's pretty formidable as well. It's gonna be a tough

853
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 1: batch up for for Arizona. Before we go though, Uh,

854
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 1: what did we think about the secondary yesterday? And I know,

855
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:01,680
Speaker 1: going into them to get Anthony brown back that was

856
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 1: a huge edition I think, and of course he ended

857
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 1: up with the scoop and score off of the d

858
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:10,360
Speaker 1: Law strip sack and the fumble that ensued. But what

859
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:12,399
Speaker 1: do we think about the secondary and what they brought

860
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:16,840
Speaker 1: to the table and yesterday's win, you know what we

861
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 1: just didn't have. I think the one touchdown that was

862
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:22,279
Speaker 1: called back, a guy was running by himself and it

863
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 1: just it was like, wow, you know, here we go again,

864
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:28,040
Speaker 1: guys running by themselves from wide open touchdowns. But then

865
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:30,600
Speaker 1: there was a flag on the play. I think that

866
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:34,839
Speaker 1: the defensive line that our edge Russias helped our secondary

867
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:36,560
Speaker 1: out a lot. I mean we had a tank sighting

868
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:40,680
Speaker 1: yesterday with this strip sack. Tyra Crawford was even applying

869
00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:43,719
Speaker 1: some pressure. I mean, it made some great plays on

870
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 1: the defensive line. But I think all of those things

871
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 1: combined is what made the secondary not look as bad

872
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:53,200
Speaker 1: as they've looked for the first four games. And so

873
00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:58,319
Speaker 1: if they could continue with that end Rob's guy from

874
00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:02,080
Speaker 1: and then what's said, guys, you got number thirty seven? Man?

875
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:06,520
Speaker 1: He played Donovan Wilson. Yeah, I want to say Thompson,

876
00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 1: but Wilson. Donovan Wilson, Uh he I mean, look he

877
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:12,800
Speaker 1: has some tackles man that I was like, Wow, that's

878
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:14,960
Speaker 1: that's good. Get guys on the ground. At least you

879
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:18,040
Speaker 1: didn't get you know, get your ankles broke or shook

880
00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:20,319
Speaker 1: out of your sneakers. So here we go. Man, we

881
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:22,600
Speaker 1: looked a lot better than the secondary. I would. We're

882
00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:28,520
Speaker 1: not giving a grade, but we looked a lot better. Yeah,

883
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:31,640
Speaker 1: we looked. Okay, we looked okay. Um. And the reason

884
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:33,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I think Diggs is getting more experienced and

885
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:37,320
Speaker 1: he's playing more aggressively. UM, still waiting and Brown Brown

886
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 1: has that fight, man, and you see it show up.

887
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:43,839
Speaker 1: You see it show up business and you need it, right,

888
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:45,840
Speaker 1: You need you need guys like that on your team

889
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:49,799
Speaker 1: because it's contagious. Right. And just like Pole's play can

890
00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:52,680
Speaker 1: be contagious. Um, guys like Brown coming on the field,

891
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:55,640
Speaker 1: their effort can be contagious. Um, and you need guys

892
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:57,759
Speaker 1: out there like that. Um. This secondary they didn't get

893
00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:00,239
Speaker 1: tested yesterday. When they did get tested, I think they

894
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:04,359
Speaker 1: failed as collect collectively. But you know what I said,

895
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:06,759
Speaker 1: Cowboys have had some great luck on their side this

896
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:08,720
Speaker 1: year as far as stuff getting called back or guys

897
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:12,480
Speaker 1: dropping balls on plays over their head. But they have

898
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:14,879
Speaker 1: to they will get better. I'm still waiting to see

899
00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:18,040
Speaker 1: the resemblance of Al Harris, their secondary coach. I want

900
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:20,520
Speaker 1: to see him reincarnated in these dbs, and I'm just

901
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:25,080
Speaker 1: not seeing that style of play. Yeah, you know, Darius

902
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:27,839
Speaker 1: Slayton was the one guy that really got him deep

903
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:32,000
Speaker 1: and was the deep threat for the Giants, and they're

904
00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:35,160
Speaker 1: still looking for answers in the safety position. Obviously. I mean,

905
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:39,080
Speaker 1: Stephen Parker was signed from the practice squad elevated elevated

906
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:41,880
Speaker 1: just for the game on Saturday, and he gets twenty

907
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:44,600
Speaker 1: four snaps at safety. I mean, obviously, Mike Nolan's is

908
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:48,000
Speaker 1: trying different combinations and seeing who can step in and help.

909
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:49,880
Speaker 1: And I mentioned darry and Thompson got some work in

910
00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:53,520
Speaker 1: the dime package. So yeah, there's some encouraging stuff. You're

911
00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:56,680
Speaker 1: hoping you get Cheeto back in the next couple of

912
00:46:56,719 --> 00:47:01,719
Speaker 1: weeks maybe, but yeah, it's you know, it's there's some improvement,

913
00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:04,680
Speaker 1: but obviously, you know it's gonna get tougher going forward

914
00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:07,840
Speaker 1: because you're not gonna face You're gonna face better offensive lines.

915
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:12,080
Speaker 1: You're gonna face better quarterbacks that make better decisions. I

916
