Speaker 1: The following. He's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. This he's talking Cowboys,
Speaker 1: screaming live from the Dallas Cowboys World headboards at the
Speaker 1: Star in Frisio, flowing to the Scott and now your
Speaker 1: hosts Isaiah Stanback, heck my Harrison, Rob Phillips and Kyle Yeomans. Oh,
Speaker 1: thank the Lord. It's a say it with your chest Friday,
Speaker 1: and boy do we have a lot to say it
Speaker 1: with our chest today. Isaiah's already given the Tarzan pounding
Speaker 1: of the chest in the bottom left hand corner. We
Speaker 1: are talking Cowboys. Glad you're with us here on Dallas
Speaker 1: Cowboys dot Com and the various streaming websites. I'm Kyle
Speaker 1: Cowman's alongside the great Harrison Cowboys in side or Rob
Speaker 1: Phillips and our residence super Bowl champion mister Isaiah standback.
Speaker 1: We've got ourselves a chuck full show. Let's just say
Speaker 1: it that way. There's a lot to talk about with
Speaker 1: this Dallas Cowboys team. Because a couple of guys getting healthy,
Speaker 1: we of course have a couple guys replacing guys that
Speaker 1: won't be getting healthy, and we've got some predictions to
Speaker 1: have later on in the show. As we're gonna take
Speaker 1: a look at the rest of the Cowboys schedule, We're
Speaker 1: gonna kind of talk through this thing a little bit.
Speaker 1: Is the season closer to being a championship season or
Speaker 1: a top five pick season. We're gonna discuss that coming
Speaker 1: up here in about twenty minutes or so. Things can
Speaker 1: get a little spicy today, boys, and I think there's
Speaker 1: no better way but to just get right into it.
Speaker 1: And the way we're gonna do that as I'm gonna
Speaker 1: defer to mister Rob Phillips here, as yesterday we finally
Speaker 1: get to see a practice. Of course, with being a
Speaker 1: little bit longer week, yesterday was the normal Tuesday, excuse me,
Speaker 1: the normal Wednesday in terms of the right gular practice schedule.
Speaker 1: So the Cowboys were back out on the field. Did
Speaker 1: the injury situation look like doing yesterday's practice, Rob, Well,
Speaker 1: once again, if you don't factor in the guys on IR,
Speaker 1: which is like a dozen guys, it looks like a
Speaker 1: pretty clean injury report. The only guy that's, you know,
Speaker 1: take away Dak Prescott and Tristan Hill, who were not
Speaker 1: on IR at the moment. I think the only player
Speaker 1: on the active roster in practice was Everson Griffin. It
Speaker 1: was a non injury so I maybe a personal matter.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure exactly why he wasn't there, and so
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens with Layton Vanderesh, but that's the
Speaker 1: big story. He's not on the injury report because he's
Speaker 1: on IR. But it could be this week, very possibly.
Speaker 1: Anytime you have a full practice, first practice a week,
Speaker 1: that's pretty encouraging. And I counted it up. It's been
Speaker 1: I think September fifteenth as he had the collarbone surgery,
Speaker 1: So if you get to Monday night, it'll be right
Speaker 1: up against the five week mark, so you know, since
Speaker 1: to eight was what we heard when he had the surgery.
Speaker 1: They said he's had a schedule. If he does play
Speaker 1: Monday night, he's he's right around five weeks instead of six,
Speaker 1: so they could use him back and that would be
Speaker 1: a big boost of the defense if he's ready to go. Wow,
Speaker 1: five weeks of recovery, he's right back in the thicket things.
Speaker 1: And it's a normal uh coverage of the of the
Speaker 1: team and I guess fans out there as well. You
Speaker 1: would get a little nervous about that. But Isaiah, this
Speaker 1: is a medical staff that wouldn't put a guy out
Speaker 1: there if he wasn't one hundred percent ready to go. Right,
Speaker 1: You're absolutely correct. I mean his medical staff is to
Speaker 1: second and nine. You got Timbo, you got you got
Speaker 1: you know, I mean you got brit you know, Britt Brown,
Speaker 1: you got those that whole crew over there. That's amazing.
Speaker 1: But there is a thing called upper management, and sometimes
Speaker 1: upper management once guys to get on the field before
Speaker 1: traders want them to get on the field. I hope
Speaker 1: that's not the base. Um in this guards, I don't
Speaker 1: think that they should be forcing to be out there,
Speaker 1: or not forcing, but pushing him to go out there. Um.
Speaker 1: I think you should play it on the safe side
Speaker 1: because look at the projection of the season. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: the record is not good right now and we need
Speaker 1: this wright, but the future looks pretty dark promising, um,
Speaker 1: and we need to look at that, look at that
Speaker 1: and understand the situation that we're gonna be in potentially
Speaker 1: going down the road, and why risk potential. You know,
Speaker 1: re infort somebody who can who can utilize the extra
Speaker 1: two weeks for some healing. Yeah, I think his big
Speaker 1: test comes today that this would be the padded practice,
Speaker 1: so just to see how that show that calibone holds up.
Speaker 1: I don't know if this is just the coach employ
Speaker 1: to make the Cardinals think about us having our guy back,
Speaker 1: but man, it would be so awesome for our defense.
Speaker 1: It's already struggling. Joe Thomas, man is you know? I
Speaker 1: would say fourth or fifth linebacker test filled in nicely,
Speaker 1: But we do know that Leyton just has a whole
Speaker 1: nother dimension to his game. Uh that Joess isn't able
Speaker 1: to click up to h So getting him back, especially
Speaker 1: what he does in the passing game for the linebacker,
Speaker 1: I think it is going to be pivotal, especially the
Speaker 1: match up with Kyler Murray and just knowing that quick
Speaker 1: release and how boble he is. Man, So getting late
Speaker 1: Laton back would be Man, it would be great for us.
Speaker 1: Kyle can I ask the question, absolutely, do we I'm
Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna let you play training if even if
Speaker 1: LB is ready to go, right the thing ensured up,
Speaker 1: he's ready to go, He's had a good practice hopefully
Speaker 1: another good practice today. Do you put him out there
Speaker 1: with the way that this defensive front has been playing
Speaker 1: and knowing that these officive linry are going to get
Speaker 1: up to the second level. M M. That's tough. That's tough.
Speaker 1: You know, it's tough because we've also said that that
Speaker 1: Jalen has been has struggle because his inability to run
Speaker 1: sideline the sideline because of his guys in his way.
Speaker 1: And you look, it's two sided, right. Can't we get
Speaker 1: more push on our defense to allow our linebackers to
Speaker 1: run sideline the sideline? Do also limit late how many
Speaker 1: snaps he plays defensively, So I think a lot of
Speaker 1: that is going to be factored in to it, especially
Speaker 1: if he's going to play Monday night. Yeah, that's a
Speaker 1: that's a tough situation because you want him back out there,
Speaker 1: but you also want to take the safer out, especially
Speaker 1: with a young guy who could turn out to be
Speaker 1: a star, and it already was really a star in
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen and at the early parts of twenty nineteen
Speaker 1: before he ended up getting hurt. So I think overall,
Speaker 1: you want him back out there and you want him
Speaker 1: to play and get those reps. You may not throw
Speaker 1: a full workload at him, but if he's fully ready
Speaker 1: to go, I don't see a problem with him seeing
Speaker 1: a couple snaps. But like we said earlier, and Heckma
Speaker 1: mentioned this a minute ago about today is really the
Speaker 1: important day right now, hasn't That's not anything compared to
Speaker 1: what they're gonna see today in practice, first padded practice.
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy echo that sentiment in his daily come or
Speaker 1: his weekly conversation with one or five point three the
Speaker 1: fans said that today's a big day. If he goes
Speaker 1: out there and it looks good and he feels good
Speaker 1: and he's able to go out and hit somebody and
Speaker 1: maybe get a couple hits taking on his side, he's
Speaker 1: gonna be ready to go on Monday because of how
Speaker 1: a head of schedule he is. But today's gonna tell
Speaker 1: a lot rob on it just how ready Laton vander
Speaker 1: esh is going to be. Yeah. Absolutely, and and there's
Speaker 1: no there's no simulation for the Cardinals on Monday night.
Speaker 1: I mean, they're not going to tackle each other in practice.
Speaker 1: So you just have to trust it and trust you
Speaker 1: know that it's I'm sure they're not going to put
Speaker 1: him out there unless there's it's healed. I just don't.
Speaker 1: I don't believe that. I think because Isaiah's right, like
Speaker 1: it's amazing to me. I hadn't thought about this. He
Speaker 1: has not played a full game for the Dallas Cowboys
Speaker 1: and almost a calendar year, almost a calendar year. It
Speaker 1: was last November where he was, you know, trying to
Speaker 1: fight through the stinger stuff and then wound up on
Speaker 1: I are and had the surgery in January on his neck.
Speaker 1: So you know, Isaiah's exactly right. He is so important
Speaker 1: to their future. You know, he's the future of that defense.
Speaker 1: And I just don't think they would put him out
Speaker 1: there if they didn't feel like he was ready. It
Speaker 1: does seem I mean, it's it's an accelerated timeline, but
Speaker 1: he must be making a ton of progress. And and
Speaker 1: you know when they do plate that thing, it does
Speaker 1: accelerate the healing process. It makes it faster than if
Speaker 1: you're if you're just healing on it on its own,
Speaker 1: which with a bone it's always a minimum six weeks.
Speaker 1: So um, I just have to, you know, believe that it.
Speaker 1: You know, to your point with Jim and Britt and
Speaker 1: those guys, they're gonna, they're gonna, you know, be really
Speaker 1: careful with him and make sure he's ready to go again. Though,
Speaker 1: once you get out there and you hit and you
Speaker 1: get hit. That's the real test. That's the test. And
Speaker 1: you you mentioned being careful with Layton Vander. Actually they've
Speaker 1: been careful with players before, one of which actually one
Speaker 1: that we didn't know was really dealing with any kind
Speaker 1: of specific injuries. But Mike mccar he came out today
Speaker 1: and said that the snap count from Amari Cooper on
Speaker 1: the outside on the offensive side of the ball has
Speaker 1: been down, and it was down against the Giants because
Speaker 1: he's been dealing with a couple different things. Now, if
Speaker 1: you go back and you look at the snap counts
Speaker 1: and the percentage that he was on the field from
Speaker 1: week one to week five, it decreased every single week
Speaker 1: pretty consistently, to the point where he was just over
Speaker 1: sixty percent of the snaps in that game against New
Speaker 1: York Heckman, do you take any stock in the fact
Speaker 1: that the snap count is going down for Amari Cooper?
Speaker 1: Is this just a veteran getting a couple less plays
Speaker 1: and less snaps than we really anticipated. It does worry me.
Speaker 1: It worries me to the extent, especially you know where
Speaker 1: he is is in the pecking order of our receivers.
Speaker 1: We obviously Ah, I think unanimously agree that he's the
Speaker 1: number one guy for the Cowboys, and defenses have to
Speaker 1: account for the fact that Amari Cooper is on the field,
Speaker 1: and when he's not, they get to adjust their game plan.
Speaker 1: So I don't know, they're not listening or saying anything
Speaker 1: about an injury, uh to say it's I think last
Speaker 1: year was an ankle or a calf or knee injuries, whatever,
Speaker 1: lower leg injuries, whatever it is. Mark Cooper is very
Speaker 1: important to what we do, and especially with having a
Speaker 1: new quarterback, and so we're gonna have to give Andy
Speaker 1: Dalton every weapon that he's gonna that he needs to
Speaker 1: be successful on offense. So that does worry me, Colin,
Speaker 1: and that's something that definitely we need to keep an
Speaker 1: eye on, especially with the reps and going into this
Speaker 1: next three game stretch. Isah, it should worry you, just
Speaker 1: like Heck said, I mean, I understand that number one
Speaker 1: receivers in the NFL don't get time off in regards
Speaker 1: of snaps off. They don't. They don't. They don't get
Speaker 1: there their their play, their play accounts. You know, kind
Speaker 1: of moderated and handled in that way doesn't happen, you know,
Speaker 1: you don't see Julio Jones getting his his snaps. Even
Speaker 1: when he was gimping around on a Hamstreet on one
Speaker 1: hand against the Cowboys, he was still out there every play. Um,
Speaker 1: you don't see d Hop out there, you know, asking
Speaker 1: for less reps. Larry fish Gerald, I mean, you don't.
Speaker 1: These number one guys don't. Don't. They don't do that.
Speaker 1: So um, when they when they reps are being cut,
Speaker 1: it's because something is going on, um, and it is
Speaker 1: something that they're trying to manage, and they're trying to
Speaker 1: they're trying to minimize the amount of damage as being done. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if you if you go back to training camp, remember
Speaker 1: he didn't really practice the last almost like the last
Speaker 1: few days of camp. And I think it might have
Speaker 1: been a little bit of a hansering because that's what
Speaker 1: it's on the injury report like week one, and the
Speaker 1: Cowboys kept saying, you know, and I'm not saying that's
Speaker 1: what it is here because whatever it is, it's not
Speaker 1: enough to put him on the injury report. He's not
Speaker 1: in danger of missing the game. Um, but they're, you know,
Speaker 1: one hundred million dollars man, they want to make sure
Speaker 1: weeks one through seventeen. He's good, and so maybe they're
Speaker 1: just trying to manage that that he's not overdoing himself.
Speaker 1: And because you're right, like, if it's all systems go,
Speaker 1: you want him out on the field. I will say this.
Speaker 1: You know on that drive that we referenced earlier in
Speaker 1: the week where it was fourteen plays all runs, and
Speaker 1: you didn't see Ceedee Lamb on that drive either, So
Speaker 1: they Mike McCarthy's got a little bit of a different
Speaker 1: approach in terms of he trusts one through five the
Speaker 1: receivers they've got that are in the rotation, and he
Speaker 1: always talks about how every the young guys and the
Speaker 1: backup guys, if I trust them, they need to play
Speaker 1: because as we go through the season, we're gonna need them.
Speaker 1: And as many injuries as the Cowboys have had, you
Speaker 1: hope that that's not the case where guys have to
Speaker 1: step in and start at the receiver position. But he
Speaker 1: wants to work guys in. He believes in a rotation
Speaker 1: at wide receiver. But yeah, I mean, I'm with you.
Speaker 1: When you see forty something snaps from Amari that that
Speaker 1: just kind of jumps out at you. Because he has
Speaker 1: been productive. I think he's getting like eighty five yards
Speaker 1: a game, all right, And Rob brought up exactly what
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy said, and specifically McCarthy referenced Cedric Wilson and
Speaker 1: Noah Brown and specifically Cedric Wilson to get him out
Speaker 1: there in order to set up what was the reverse
Speaker 1: pass that we saw the end of a second quarter
Speaker 1: that went from Cedric Wilson to Dak Prescott. So having
Speaker 1: him out there kind of set that up. The reason
Speaker 1: why he put Cedric Wilson out there instead of a
Speaker 1: Mari Cooper or instead of Ceedee Lamb or Michael Gallup.
Speaker 1: It was a Mari that he took out. So I
Speaker 1: don't know, maybe it is the emergence of some of
Speaker 1: these other receivers that has been taking the snaps away.
Speaker 1: Does that play a big factor into it? Isaiah? I
Speaker 1: know you were pretty adamant about it being worrisome, but
Speaker 1: is it maybe just because there's good, real wide receivers
Speaker 1: out there as well. I think McCarthy's approach is definitely
Speaker 1: different than things that we've probably seen in the history
Speaker 1: of the NFL. He recognizes that he you know, going
Speaker 1: into if you have plans of going to the Super
Speaker 1: Bowl guys are going to get hurt, and there's a
Speaker 1: high probability that you're going to lose, you know, one
Speaker 1: or two of your your top dogs at the receiver positions.
Speaker 1: So you need all hands on deck, and they all
Speaker 1: need playing time. You don't want their first playing time
Speaker 1: to be when you actually absolutely need them. So I
Speaker 1: get I give him kudos in regards to make sure
Speaker 1: that all those guys are prepared and rotating guys in
Speaker 1: and out and giving guys a breath, But when you
Speaker 1: drop off forty percent of your snaps that there's something
Speaker 1: that's going on. I just want to make sure he's
Speaker 1: on the field at the end of the game. Remember
Speaker 1: last year when they were trying to clench the division
Speaker 1: and he was not on the field at the end.
Speaker 1: I'm not I don't know if we ever got a
Speaker 1: real explanation of why that happened, because Heckman said is right.
Speaker 1: You know they were trying to manage him last year.
Speaker 1: But manage him in the second quarter and get him
Speaker 1: on the field and the fourth quarter. That's if that's
Speaker 1: what you need to do. Yeah, our guys, man said
Speaker 1: Wilson and Noah Brown, these guys are playing really well, right,
Speaker 1: and I think to my surprise, I mean, Centric Wilson
Speaker 1: is just like popping on tape. And Noah Brown has
Speaker 1: done had some great catches deceptions, and also he's doing
Speaker 1: a wonderful job blocking. And so obviously you don't want
Speaker 1: to tilt your hand or say, you know, anytime you
Speaker 1: see eighty five on the fields, it's an obvious running down.
Speaker 1: So getting him in and also recognizing that Noel Brown
Speaker 1: is also going to be a part of our offensive strategy,
Speaker 1: I think that's a great thing, especially going down the
Speaker 1: line and people getting more tape on this offense. Look,
Speaker 1: it can't hurt to get those young guys and reps
Speaker 1: and it's definitely paid dividends so far. Helps Cedric Wilson
Speaker 1: throw a touchdown past. Of course, he was a former
Speaker 1: quarterback as well. And then you have Noah Brown who
Speaker 1: continues to just make key plays. He's not gonna put
Speaker 1: up big stat lines, but he's been making key plays
Speaker 1: in that wide receiving core. Hopefully Amari Cooper, whatever he's
Speaker 1: dealing with was isn't anything too serious, and he continues
Speaker 1: to make an impact. He's still really in the top
Speaker 1: ten of receivers in the NFL and both receptions and
Speaker 1: in yardage right now. So it's not like he hasn't
Speaker 1: been productive this season. He's still putting up massive numbers.
Speaker 1: We just hope that it continues to stay as consistent
Speaker 1: as the year goes along. We're gonna step aside for
Speaker 1: our first break when we come back. Oh, we've got
Speaker 1: a good segment for you guys, playing looking ahead to
Speaker 1: the rest of the schedule, realistic expectations for the Cowboys,
Speaker 1: and it may end up being a little bit better
Speaker 1: than you'd think when we come back. You're on talking

Speaker 1: Friday here on Talking Cowboys. Glad you're with us on
Speaker 1: the various streaming platforms and here over the next thirty minutes,
Speaker 1: will continue to break down what will be the Monday
Speaker 1: night football matchup between the Cowboys and the Arizona Cardinals
Speaker 1: on ESPN seven fifteen on Monday. This is our final show,
Speaker 1: by the way, before that game. And I made the
Speaker 1: mistake earlier of saying that it was we were gonna
Speaker 1: have six shows. We do not have a show on Monday,
Speaker 1: so that's a little unfortunate. But we do have a
Speaker 1: game Monday, so it's exciting in that regard. Het Harrison,
Speaker 1: Rob Phillips, Isaiah stand back, I'm Kyle Yeoman's and guys,
Speaker 1: the expectations are a bit doom and gloom right now
Speaker 1: when it comes to the Cowboys, and we've kind of
Speaker 1: talked about it already. What are the realistic expectations with
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton as the starting quarterback following the Dak Prescott injury.
Speaker 1: We also don't have our starting tackles. We're starting to
Speaker 1: get healthy on defense, but even then, youre's still a
Speaker 1: lot of question marks on that side of the football.
Speaker 1: So realistically, expectation wise, I want to go through really
Speaker 1: each part of the schedule for the rest of the year.
Speaker 1: We've got eleven games left. Out of those eleven games,
Speaker 1: there's only three teams that have a current winning record
Speaker 1: at this moment, and that's the Cardinals, the Steelers, and
Speaker 1: then the Ravens coming up later on in the season
Speaker 1: as well. Cowboys have the second easiest schedule in the
Speaker 1: NFL based off of winning percentage, only second the last
Speaker 1: vesas Raiders. What was that easiest? Huh YEA, nothing's easy
Speaker 1: with this team. No, it's nothing's easy. It's not. But also,
Speaker 1: you look at the teams that you've beat. I mentioned
Speaker 1: the records yesterday, they're thirteen and two combined, or the
Speaker 1: teams you've lost to rather our thirteen and you combine
Speaker 1: the teams you beat our o intent. So we don't
Speaker 1: really know how to evaluate this team based off of comparison.
Speaker 1: We finally get a chance to do that this week
Speaker 1: with the three and two Cardinals. But do expectations really change. Heck,
Speaker 1: whenever it comes to Andy Dalton as the quarterback. And
Speaker 1: I know we asked that this week, but I'm talking
Speaker 1: about schedule by schedule, week by week. You know, Andy
Speaker 1: Dalton has been brought in to help in this situation
Speaker 1: right here, to help the Cowboys in a tough time
Speaker 1: get some quality wins. That we have one of the
Speaker 1: more talented rosters in the NFL. And if you look
Speaker 1: at our IR report, man, we got a who's who
Speaker 1: in the NFL of guys that are out for the year.
Speaker 1: So it's we do the Pro Bowl, IR. It's It's
Speaker 1: one of those things where you just have to when
Speaker 1: you wrap your head around it. And the way that
Speaker 1: we've been breaking down the season in quarters, and you
Speaker 1: look over the next four games and they have a
Speaker 1: manageable uh they could come away three and one or
Speaker 1: with four and old and the next next three, you know,
Speaker 1: next couple of games. And so I look at it
Speaker 1: and I me and Isaiah's conversation obviously about uh Andy
Speaker 1: Dalton and just what his skill set is. I mean,
Speaker 1: when Dak Prescott and I'm look, man, I've gone five
Speaker 1: days without Dak, and I think I'm recovering right now,
Speaker 1: and I want to see how good I'm gonna be
Speaker 1: on Monday. But we can't have the expectation go from
Speaker 1: here to here with the guy that has all the
Speaker 1: experience that Andy Dalton has. So I'm really excited about
Speaker 1: the opportunity just to see what he has on Monday
Speaker 1: and the way that this new Cowboys offense is going
Speaker 1: to function, because, like I said yesterday, man, things are
Speaker 1: going to be different because of what Dak's abilities gave
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore from from that skill set aspect. But you know,
Speaker 1: we people are starting to talk about Ezekiel Elliott and
Speaker 1: how important he is to this off It's going forward
Speaker 1: with Andy Dalton, but I still think that you can't
Speaker 1: abandon other aspects of your offense. So look, I still
Speaker 1: have high expectations for this team, especially knowing that they
Speaker 1: have some winnable games in front of him. Isaiah, do
Speaker 1: you agree? I do? I don't. I think I've spoken
Speaker 1: enough on this over the last few days. I'm a
Speaker 1: believer in Andy Dalton. I think that he is an
Speaker 1: accomplished quarterback who is well respected in this league. Um,
Speaker 1: he came here for a vacation, and vacations over so,
Speaker 1: Um it's time. So it's time for him to go
Speaker 1: out there and take care of business. Uh. You know,
Speaker 1: Luckily they have a backup, a quarterback who's who's more
Speaker 1: than capable for a discount double check, and he's gonna
Speaker 1: he's gonna do with this team needs. He'll be the
Speaker 1: leader that this team needs. Um, he's not going to
Speaker 1: provide wins that that Dak. You know that he's not
Speaker 1: gonna provide any more wins that Dac would provided it
Speaker 1: had he been in a position. So I'll put it
Speaker 1: that way. Um. That's but the EPs that my expectations
Speaker 1: are the saying for this team. Yeah, I mean when
Speaker 1: we talk about Kayle, you mentioned down the stretch a
Speaker 1: lot of teams with losing records. I mean, look, Cowboys
Speaker 1: have a losing record too. Sure you have a losing record.
Speaker 1: That means there's things. You know, injuries are part of it,
Speaker 1: but there's things that you're not doing to win football games.
Speaker 1: So absolutely, you know, they they've got to they've got
Speaker 1: to be more consistent team. They've got to cut down
Speaker 1: turnovers more. First and foremost, Um and clean some other
Speaker 1: things up, and I thought the defense definitely took a
Speaker 1: step forward to doing that against the Giants. I know
Speaker 1: the Giants have really struggled on offense, but that's encouraging UM.
Speaker 1: And I'm I'm with Isaiah and you guys on on
Speaker 1: on Andy Dalton. I think he can he can win
Speaker 1: games for this team. He can put him in position
Speaker 1: to win games. And I said this yesterday because this
Speaker 1: division so far, what we've seen is really struggling. It's
Speaker 1: not a good division at all. Uh. You know, four
Speaker 1: and two, five and one doesn't seem out of the
Speaker 1: question despite everything we've talked about, all these injuries. You
Speaker 1: lose your starting quarterback UM for what's expected to be
Speaker 1: the season, and that's that's still out in front of you.
Speaker 1: So if you're able to do that, then you need
Speaker 1: to just steal a couple of games potentially division and
Speaker 1: maybe eight and eight wins this division. I absolutely think
Speaker 1: that's possible. So to me closer to a pick or
Speaker 1: the Paper Bowl, I still say the Super Bowl, I
Speaker 1: absolutely think they have it at least get into Yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any question is this. Does anybody
Speaker 1: out here think that they're not going to make the playoffs. Well,
Speaker 1: I don't know for sure, but but I think they
Speaker 1: definitely have a shot. I mean, I think I think
Speaker 1: it's down to them in Philly, whichever team can can
Speaker 1: kind of just strap it up and be somewhat consistent. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't I don't believe that this team
Speaker 1: doesn't make the playoffs. I mean, I don't think that's
Speaker 1: a discussion, at least not from my perspective. Now. They may,
Speaker 1: they may fumble the ball a number of times in
Speaker 1: the process and not have a great record, but they
Speaker 1: they sneak into the playoffs simply because because of the
Speaker 1: matters that you guys are referring to it. That's this
Speaker 1: division is absolutely completely terrible. But that's what they're banking
Speaker 1: on is a terrible division. Not necessarily, we shouldn't be
Speaker 1: we shouldn't have to be talking about how bad the
Speaker 1: division is for us to get where we want to
Speaker 1: get to versus our actual production on the field. Sure,
Speaker 1: but as bad as bad as our as bad as
Speaker 1: the teams are in the NFC East, our defense is
Speaker 1: as bad as there is nail. We are on a
Speaker 1: history making pace to finish above with the twenty and
Speaker 1: twelve New Orleans Saints, and so that's not good company.
Speaker 1: And so whatever we do, if we have any success,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be because we're able to get some functionality
Speaker 1: on defense and get some stops, turnovers, things like that.
Speaker 1: But you know, I think it's wrong to to really
Speaker 1: lower the expectations to say, all right, well, yeah, we're
Speaker 1: in the top five, we're in the draft, baby, so
Speaker 1: let's start doing that. I think the roster is way
Speaker 1: too talent for that. But I am I am guys
Speaker 1: looking going to be looking at how much Andy Dalton
Speaker 1: is throwing the ball. I just think that if you
Speaker 1: have him on a pitch count of forty forty five
Speaker 1: passes a game, I think that's a recipe for a disaster,
Speaker 1: especially with our offensive line. So those are some of
Speaker 1: the things that I'm looking for. And like you've alluded to, also,
Speaker 1: Rob is the turnovers man. That turnovers are killing us,
Speaker 1: and it was killing us before Dak got hurt. We
Speaker 1: have to get that under control. You mentioned having Andy
Speaker 1: Dalton on a pitch count, and you and I actually
Speaker 1: had this conversation last night. For those of you who
Speaker 1: don't know outside of the show, heck, May and I
Speaker 1: do play by playing color for Frisco. I st football
Speaker 1: games and stuff throughout the week, and we have fun
Speaker 1: on Thursdays and Fridays, but we have Cowboys conversations in
Speaker 1: that booth as well. And one of the conversations was
Speaker 1: Heck said, you don't want Andy Dalton throwing the ball
Speaker 1: forty times, which is a conversation we've had with Dak Prescott,
Speaker 1: and I decided to look up his record. If he
Speaker 1: threw the ball forty times, He's done it thirty two
Speaker 1: times in his career, and in his career he's had
Speaker 1: six wins out of those thirty two games. That whenever
Speaker 1: he throws the ball forty times. Now, of course that's
Speaker 1: going to be a skewed number, just based off the
Speaker 1: fact that you usually throw the ball whenever you're behind,
Speaker 1: and he was on a couple of really bad te
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati, so that's gonna be skewed a little bit.
Speaker 1: But six wins out of thirty two tries isn't necessarily
Speaker 1: anything that bodes well for an air raid attack, at
Speaker 1: least with what we could be seeing moving forward. Now
Speaker 1: looking at the rest of this schedule, and you go
Speaker 1: down the list, the Cardinals on Monday night, will give
Speaker 1: our prediction coming up in a little bit. Then you
Speaker 1: have Washington Philly both on the road, so you get
Speaker 1: both of those teams at home later on in the season.
Speaker 1: And you've got the Steelers at home, the Vikings on
Speaker 1: the road, Washington at home, Ravens on the road. Any
Speaker 1: of those games stick out as one where either you
Speaker 1: could drop it when you're supposed to win it, or
Speaker 1: one that you're supposed to lose but you might actually
Speaker 1: sneak one out, or uh isaam nah. I think it's
Speaker 1: pretty I'm sorry, I'm looking up at my calendar right here.
Speaker 1: My schedule pretty clean all the way through, right I.
Speaker 1: I think you're you're three and three. You're hopeful to
Speaker 1: be three and three, okay, in six games you're saying
Speaker 1: a loss to the Vikings, a loss to the Steelers,
Speaker 1: and a loss to the Cardinals kind of and the
Speaker 1: Ravens and the Ravens, so four losses, yeah, let me
Speaker 1: go ahead, the extra loss and four losses there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think you win all your divisional games. And Rob,
Speaker 1: that's another thing. Rob did mention four and two and
Speaker 1: five and one in terms of the division. Is it
Speaker 1: possible to see six and oh still though I don't,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm you know, I think I think five and
Speaker 1: one is like way up on the on the on
Speaker 1: the smelly stickers side, like and they you know, asking
Speaker 1: a team. You know, look they have they have done
Speaker 1: a lot of things to hurt themselves in these games.
Speaker 1: So when you're talking about can they win five of six,
Speaker 1: like that's being generous. It really is, especially with the
Speaker 1: injuries they're dealing with. But all these division games are
Speaker 1: always toss ups. Doesn't really matter, you know, the game,
Speaker 1: the game we just saw was a toss up. But
Speaker 1: I do think they still have talent and they still
Speaker 1: have When you still have a quarterback that you can
Speaker 1: rely on, it gives you an opportunity. And we talked
Speaker 1: about look, Dalton Wentz, they're still the best quarter the
Speaker 1: best quarterbacks in the division. So that's why I put
Speaker 1: them in that category of having a shot. But to
Speaker 1: your question, Kyle, like this game right here is a
Speaker 1: perfect example what you're talking about. Like they it's a
Speaker 1: winnable game, but there are things that trouble you two
Speaker 1: in terms of the matchups. So this is a total
Speaker 1: swing game for me as well. And there's other ones
Speaker 1: kind of like that. You know, you know there's teams
Speaker 1: like Philly has been good and they've been not so good.
Speaker 1: San Francisco looked like you can maybe chalk that up
Speaker 1: to an l They got smoked by Miami a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks ago. So it's really it's really hard to know.
Speaker 1: I heck mc kept saying it. I agree. I mean,
Speaker 1: if you take care of the ball, you give yourself
Speaker 1: a chance and what's probably gonna be a lot of
Speaker 1: one score games. And you know, I'm really excited about
Speaker 1: to see Andy Dalton versus his old AFC North foes.
Speaker 1: I mean, he knows, he knows the Steelers defense, he
Speaker 1: knows the Ravens defense as well. So I think those
Speaker 1: matchups maybe we get a chance. We're still one of
Speaker 1: those or two of those. And I'm really being optimistic
Speaker 1: on that evening. I know, I know I'm being optimistic,
Speaker 1: but I'm I'm basing that off of his experience with
Speaker 1: those teams only, right, But the Vikings we owe the Vikings. Man,
Speaker 1: they came into AT and T and they ran all
Speaker 1: over us, and so I'm just looking at the Vikings
Speaker 1: game as we owe them for that one. But eight
Speaker 1: and eight, seven and nine. However, you get into the tournament,
Speaker 1: especially with the extra team and the playoffs, you just
Speaker 1: gotta get there. They just hey, that is absolutely facts,
Speaker 1: and that's all that matters. And that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: They freaking willet share them, their their way. All the
Speaker 1: way to the dog on the playoffs is zero zero
Speaker 1: once you get to the playoffs. So that's all that
Speaker 1: really matters. As we talk about some of these other teams,
Speaker 1: and I know we're talking about Anie Dolton a lot,
Speaker 1: this is these wins are not all on Antie Dolton shoulders.
Speaker 1: Please let's make that clear. These are not on any
Speaker 1: Dolton shoulders. Dak Prescott was throwing the ball fifty seven
Speaker 1: times a game and he wasn't winning games, right, So
Speaker 1: let's let's let's be real and to say that's not
Speaker 1: fair to try to put all this now on Annie
Speaker 1: Dalton when it wasn't all on Dak shoulders. He plays
Speaker 1: a huge he plays a huge role. But unless this
Speaker 1: defense starts playing better, they they're the kind of they're
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of games that they lose. So
Speaker 1: if this, if this defense decides to miraculously turn things
Speaker 1: around either starting this week, next week, or when when
Speaker 1: Gregory gets back and all of a sudden, oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: we got all our guys. Now, if they figure it out,
Speaker 1: then guess what, then we're having different conversations. But as
Speaker 1: it stands right now, the way this defense has played
Speaker 1: right now, I don't have high projections in terms of
Speaker 1: what these guys can do in this in this upcoming schedule.
Speaker 1: But they still make the play house because of a division.
Speaker 1: And that's why this game is such a great test.
Speaker 1: Because we talked about all of Arizona's weapons, how versatile
Speaker 1: they are, how you've got to be assignment sharp, how
Speaker 1: the quarterback and beaching in a bunch of different ways,
Speaker 1: how they've got the best receiver in the league. They've
Speaker 1: got a pretty strong running game, Like this is this
Speaker 1: is a test. If the defense stands tall and it's
Speaker 1: productive in this game, then you got to start feeling
Speaker 1: better about the rest of the schedule. Absolutely, But we
Speaker 1: got to see it, you know, because right now it
Speaker 1: looks like that that following the bye week game, Week
Speaker 1: ten game against the against the Vikings, if Dalvin Cook
Speaker 1: is back and healthy for that game, he may go
Speaker 1: for four hundred and fifty yards on the ground. I
Speaker 1: don't know. He may end up finding a way. Alexander
Speaker 1: Madison is on my fantasy team now he may have
Speaker 1: two and forty himself. So I think I think right
Speaker 1: now you look at it, I agree, this game coming
Speaker 1: up on Monday night is a huge benchmark game. Even
Speaker 1: if you lose, you're not out of it. This is
Speaker 1: not a chalk up, let's throw the season away, let's
Speaker 1: tank for Trevor that nothing of the sword, and I
Speaker 1: kind of hate that talk. On one end. I think
Speaker 1: it's kind of a lazy sports opinion from media members
Speaker 1: around the area of tanking and getting draft picks. I
Speaker 1: think that's stupid. This is a talented enough team that's
Speaker 1: been dealing with some injuries and has enough moving forward
Speaker 1: to have a chance, and I think it starts this
Speaker 1: week against the Cardinals. Now, we are going to predict
Speaker 1: that game, and we've got a couple more games we're
Speaker 1: gonna predict once we step aside. But before we step aside,

Speaker 1: right there is that the Lambeau. It's the Catalan three
Speaker 1: sixty or whatever it was or whatever. I'm sorry, that's
Speaker 1: that's that's that's that's four. Oh okay, okay, that'll work. Right.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm more chevy guy forward Ford for because we're
Speaker 1: on the radio, and because the Cowboys go forward. Uh okay,
Speaker 1: So we've had four games that we're gonna breakdown to
Speaker 1: day after that save, we're gonna start things off with
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers a perfect four
Speaker 1: and oh against Tommy bay hold On on top of blight.
Speaker 1: What was that? Don't you ask me what? I know
Speaker 1: we were about to ask me the recorder. I don't
Speaker 1: have your answer. I didn't do it this week. So
Speaker 1: I was hoping to side by there and I'll give
Speaker 1: it to you. I'll get records next week. I am sorry,
Speaker 1: I got that's mine. But you know what, heck stole
Speaker 1: the game and y'all know this is yea. You tell
Speaker 1: us how tight this is? Now, that's all, okay. I
Speaker 1: I just didn't. I don't want to. I don't want
Speaker 1: to feed false if Titans right neck you no idea? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's great, pick that good pick. Heck, that's a good fee.
Speaker 1: I feel like there's some tom foolery going on. I
Speaker 1: do too. I say, you guys can come and check
Speaker 1: almost like the poles, like alright, the poles got cut
Speaker 1: off or something. I don't know. Checking my work once
Speaker 1: it's over with, get it updated. I'll get it update.
Speaker 1: I'll tweet later on. I'll tweet it and make sure
Speaker 1: that you guys have your your your mold in the limelight.
Speaker 1: I'm probably in last, so it doesn't matter anyways. Let's
Speaker 1: start with the Packers and the Buccaneers. Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady,
Speaker 1: Green Bay thirty plus points, no giveaways, four straight games.
Speaker 1: How nice it would be to have no turnovers in
Speaker 1: this season? And heck was Since you're so anxious, we'll
Speaker 1: let you start this one off this week. Like no, man,
Speaker 1: that's a good one, man, because I don't know if
Speaker 1: the bunty Aubam'm gonna play this game. He has been
Speaker 1: really picked off about being a somewhat healthy scratch. But
Speaker 1: I like the Packers. I don't like the defense. Um,
Speaker 1: I've got Packers, m Okay, I gotta get a game
Speaker 1: back from Heck, this is a this is a toss up, man,
Speaker 1: But I Tom Brady three and three. I don't know.
Speaker 1: If I see that, I'll take Tampa Bay at home. Okay, Isaiah,
Speaker 1: I'm going with the discount double check, baby, discount double check.
Speaker 1: So he's got Green Bay. I missed those commercials. Those
Speaker 1: are great commercials. They still do a good job. Pat
Speaker 1: mahomes is on a couple of those. I'm gonna take
Speaker 1: Green Bay this one as well. I just think they're
Speaker 1: too good, and I think that defense is a little underrated.
Speaker 1: That's fantastic defense that they've gotten rolling up north. Okay,
Speaker 1: Sday night football back on the West coast, San Francisco
Speaker 1: hosting the La Rams l at four and one, San
Speaker 1: Francisco at two and three and banged up a little bit.
Speaker 1: The Rams allowed just one passing touchdown or a few
Speaker 1: in four of their last five games. So that defense
Speaker 1: with Jalen Ramsey and company pretty stout on that side
Speaker 1: of the football. Who do you are actually out to
Speaker 1: start this one? Op? Since I went last, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: take Rams on the road, but I expect this to
Speaker 1: be a little closer than most people have. I think
Speaker 1: the Rams get it in a late win, much like
Speaker 1: how kind of we saw Seattle over Minnesota this past week.
Speaker 1: Isaiah m Who the who? The Rams playing again? San
Speaker 1: Fra Mosco. The forty nine ers. Oh yeah, at forty
Speaker 1: nine ers. They won't get healthy to the second half
Speaker 1: of the season. So yeah, Rams, okay, yeah, Rams, Rams
Speaker 1: for me? Also thanking Aaron Donald rams defense has just
Speaker 1: asked you right now, I'll take the rams la are
Speaker 1: across the board for everybody. Okay, moving onto the first
Speaker 1: leg of Monday night doubleheader. I kind of like these
Speaker 1: Monday night doubleheaders, by the way, Cowboy on the second leg,
Speaker 1: of course, and we'll predict the game coming up here
Speaker 1: in just a minute. However, there's two four and one teams,
Speaker 1: two really good teams coming off the losses embarrassing losses
Speaker 1: in their own rights last week, and the Chiefs on
Speaker 1: the road against the Bills. Kansas City has won three
Speaker 1: of the last four matchups with Buffalo, but both teams
Speaker 1: at four and one. Both teams was really stout young quarterbacks, Rob,
Speaker 1: who you got? It's Pat Mahomes playing. He is playing Chiefs.
Speaker 1: Give me the Chiefs. Okay? He no, God, where are
Speaker 1: they playing? Where's the game movie? It's at Buffalo? Oh man, ah,
Speaker 1: you took chief Rob. No, don't be stupid, don't go
Speaker 1: in seas two. We thought about it, though, I did.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with the newly name cheat code Chiefs, right,
Speaker 1: the cheat code Chiefs. That's that's is that just from
Speaker 1: the Levy on Bell signing. Is that what that's from?
Speaker 1: Your dog? Dudes are freaking theory. I don't look at Leon,
Speaker 1: look at Levon Bell and considered a locker room cancer
Speaker 1: and getting it up. Wow, this is amazing how that works.
Speaker 1: You know that he can't play yet, He's probably gonna
Speaker 1: play his first game whenever the Jets come to town,
Speaker 1: which I think is gonna be just fantastic. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: have an opportunity to kind of get some revenge there.
Speaker 1: Uh man, I need to get a game back. But
Speaker 1: it's the Chiefs and they lost last week. It's do it,
Speaker 1: do it. They're yeah, they're not gonna lose too in
Speaker 1: a row like you, Like you said, Heck, I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna be dumb about this. I'm gonna pick Kansas City
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna be pretty confident and I think that
Speaker 1: don't uh So I'm gonna take the I'm gonna take
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. Okay, big one Monday Night Football, send in
Speaker 1: your pick, say it with your chest here on the
Speaker 1: pariscope chat Cowboys Cardinals Monday Night. Andy Dalton at quarterback
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys as really they've got to get back
Speaker 1: on track. Andy Dalton lost four straight games on Monday
Speaker 1: Night Football. He's two and five in his career, he's
Speaker 1: six and twenty in primetime. But does he get a
Speaker 1: win against the Cardinals this week? Isaiah start us off?
Speaker 1: Oh he's lurking, he's looking into the screen. For those
Speaker 1: of you. Andy Dalton takes care of business this week
Speaker 1: against the Cardinals, but the Cowboys still lose. Oh no oh.
Speaker 1: I was so excited for two seconds there and then
Speaker 1: he just crushed all my dreams. H Well, so he's
Speaker 1: taking I can't handle these guys. Yeah, Arizona's pretty good, okay,
Speaker 1: Rob Yeah, man. This reminds me of the Cleveland game,
Speaker 1: where like my head's telling me bad matchups, bad matchups,
Speaker 1: And I paid for that pick with the Cowboys, But
Speaker 1: I'm going Cowboys akin because I think there's something to
Speaker 1: Dak being out, and sometimes when your leader is out,
Speaker 1: you focus up a little bit more. And I think
Speaker 1: they're gonna play cleaner. I think they're gonna play better
Speaker 1: in this game. And the thing that makes me feel
Speaker 1: a little bit better about the matchup is the Cardinals
Speaker 1: have a problem taking care of the ball too. Yes,
Speaker 1: So if the Cowboys can just be a little bit
Speaker 1: better in that regard, I think they can win the
Speaker 1: game at home, but it's gonna be close. I'll go
Speaker 1: twenty eight twenty seven Cowboys. Do you want to go first?
Speaker 1: You want me to go first, because I'll let you.
Speaker 1: I'll leave it for you to be last if you
Speaker 1: want no uncle now it's uh, just just a reminder. Hegma. Uh.
Speaker 1: This is kind of Murray's homecoming. It is so since
Speaker 1: since oh seven, since oh seven, the Cowboys backup quarterba
Speaker 1: acts have been seven and twenty. That's not good. And
Speaker 1: our defense is it is what it is. You see
Speaker 1: him every every Sunday, so you know what they are.
Speaker 1: And Dak is not gonna play another snap for the
Speaker 1: Cowboys this year. And I think the whole city is
Speaker 1: hurting because of it. But I'm putting my force up
Speaker 1: for Monday. We are glory to get a victory. Everybody's
Speaker 1: telling us that Colin Murray's gonna come in here and
Speaker 1: do his little leprechn dance and he likes him do
Speaker 1: and the end zone it's not going to happen. Finally,
Speaker 1: we are going to see this defense rise up. D
Speaker 1: law Ever, Si Griffin, I'm gonna even call out done
Speaker 1: Terry Poe Dog. They on your back, Big Poe. They
Speaker 1: on your back. We get LV back, hopefully this week.
Speaker 1: Jaylen Smith, come on, guys, stop making me look so
Speaker 1: bad on this show. Cowboys win, Man, Cowboys win versus Murray.
Speaker 1: Oh lord, I'll pulled it out. I made it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm with both Rob and heckma here where the
Speaker 1: head says no, but the guts says yes. I think
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are about to start a run. And we
Speaker 1: talked about the schedule coming up here in the next
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, Washington, Philly, Pittsburgh, Minnesota, Washington. I think
Speaker 1: you have a chance to win a lot of games
Speaker 1: coming up pretty soon, and I think this is where
Speaker 1: it starts. I think you might get if Layton vander
Speaker 1: esh is back in the fold, I think this defense
Speaker 1: will play much better. I think Jalen Smith will be
Speaker 1: able to back up what was his best game since
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen in last week's win against the Giants. So
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the Cowboys in this one just off
Speaker 1: of a gut feeling. I've got that gut feeling. It's
Speaker 1: not the bubble guts. It's a little exciting because I
Speaker 1: just think the defense is coming together and I think
Speaker 1: this is the carbonating gut show it. Yeah, maybe that's
Speaker 1: what it is. Yeah, so it's carbonating guts. It's working
Speaker 1: its way toward bubble. Yeah, it's working its way toward
Speaker 1: the bubble. But I'm gonna take. I'm gonna take the
Speaker 1: Cowboys and hopefully we'll be handed out plenty of smelly
