Yes, it's talking. 76 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 6: We don't make the rules the break or eight eight 77 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:24,639 Speaker 6: eight players, it's none of that. 78 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 4: Nah. 79 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,359 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's talking cowboys. 80 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 3: But we are going to take your calls. 81 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 4: Eight aight eight eight, five, five, two two nine seven, 82 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 4: Go ahead and get on the phone line right now. 83 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 3: Let's start with some news and notes. Patrick No c. Walker, 84 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 3: which is heard from one Jerry Jones. 85 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 1: We did think we did. We did. 86 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 6: The biggest takeaway from the weekly Jerry Jones radio address 87 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 6: on one to five point three the fan is the 88 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 6: status of Dalvin Cook. Obviously, we were talking about it 89 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 6: yesterday and we were, you know, wondering if this was 90 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 6: the week that Dalvin Cook would be elevated. He's now 91 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 6: this is going into week three for all of them, 92 00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 6: including him, because he was here before the season began 93 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 6: and it was a ramp up process to this point. 94 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 6: But then when you look at some of the struggles 95 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 6: the Cowboys had on the ground against the New Orleans Saints, 96 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 6: felt prudent to UH to consider Dalvin Cook for this 97 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 6: week against the Ravens, especially considering how important this game 98 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 6: is in the desperation of the one and two Ravens. 99 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 6: But Jerry Jones says he doesn't necessarily see that as 100 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 6: a consideration this week. So does that absolutely? Yeah, I know, 101 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 6: Joss I dropped my head when I heard it as well. 102 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:31,840 Speaker 6: Does that absolutely? The UH route out Dalvin Cook as 103 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 6: a possible elevation, not on a Tuesday, it does Joshua, Yeah, 104 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 6: I know, Oh my god, Hey, that's the thumbnail. I know, 105 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,359 Speaker 6: that's that thumb nail. Can't cook up is the headline, 106 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:51,279 Speaker 6: and that's the thumb nail. But so obviously, ultimately it'll 107 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:55,239 Speaker 6: be the decision made on Saturday when the practice squad 108 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 6: elevations are made. They still have Wednesday, Thursday, practice, Friday 109 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 6: walk through on a Saturday morning practice, so we'll see 110 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 6: the Cowboys hold firm to that. But it doesn't sound 111 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,480 Speaker 6: like as of this moment, Dalvin Cook will be a 112 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 6: go against the Ravens. Jake Ferguson, Mike Ferguson, Mike Ferguson, 113 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 6: Mike McCarthy on yesterday gave an update on Jake Ferguson, 114 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 6: and basically he's saying that, you know, as long as 115 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 6: Jake Ferguson continues to progress in practices this week, then 116 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 6: he'll be on the field. Stephen Jones talked to the 117 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 6: fan on Monday and he said that Jake was close 118 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,159 Speaker 6: to taking the field against the Saints, but at the 119 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,920 Speaker 6: last minute, they decided, you know, against it, which I 120 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:33,280 Speaker 6: agree with, we all agree with. 121 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:33,919 Speaker 1: Going into that. 122 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 6: Mike McCarthy said, Jake had a quote unquote good workout 123 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 6: on Monday. 124 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Monday. 125 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 3: So sign work out pregame Sunday too, as he did. 126 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:44,280 Speaker 6: He did a little bit before he went to put 127 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 6: his socks and slod on. But he's trending toward playing 128 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 6: against the Ravens. So barn is set back at any 129 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 6: point this week. I see Jake Ferguson getting on the 130 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 6: field for the Cowboys against the Ravens, and. 131 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,600 Speaker 5: I'm still of the mind that it was best to 132 00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 5: sit him. 133 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, he didn't see that. He didn't Also, he would 134 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 1: not have changed. 135 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 5: Did not need to see that. Yes, what Fergie Fergie? 136 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:10,239 Speaker 1: We're not making nicknames. 137 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 5: He's got two knees. 138 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 6: No, no, no, I'm saying that's that's what we're not going 139 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 6: It checks out. 140 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 1: It doesn't, believe me. 141 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 5: The nickname checks out. All right, I'm thinking about it. 142 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,040 Speaker 4: I'm a little more of the Turkey Turkey speed speed 143 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 4: sort of guy. 144 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 3: But I'm not even that. 145 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,559 Speaker 6: But we're definitely we're going to steer away from from 146 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 6: naming after body parts. Not that there's anything wrong with that, 147 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,159 Speaker 6: nothing wrong with that, but but yeah, I think Jake 148 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:36,840 Speaker 6: takes the field. Now, and you know what I was 149 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 6: going to say, is Jake Ferguson not being present on 150 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:43,599 Speaker 6: the field, obviously you miss his impact production wise, leadership wise, 151 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 6: but it was not going to change what was happening 152 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 6: to the defense at all. So the defense they allowed 153 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 6: six touchdowns in the first six possessions of the game. 154 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 6: Jake Ferguson being on the field might have might have 155 00:06:55,920 --> 00:07:00,279 Speaker 6: gotten the Cowboys plus one in the touchdown category, baby, 156 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,160 Speaker 6: but it wasn't going to change the fact that the 157 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 6: Cowboys were getting dog walked in that game. Now, this, 158 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,479 Speaker 6: this is a different situation going going up against the Ravens, 159 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 6: especially a secondary, well especially a front seven let's put 160 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 6: it this way, that features linebackers who can play some 161 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 6: freaking football. Right, So yeah, I think Jake takes the field. 162 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 5: Uh, And not to bag on Luskmaker, but he had 163 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 5: a really decent game. 164 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: He actually has a career game. Yeah, he quite literally 165 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: literally had a career game. 166 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 5: He showed up in those first two I said, I said. 167 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 6: On Twitter during the game or towards the back end 168 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 6: of the game, I was like, you know, the positives 169 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 6: were slim pickings in this game. There are so many negatives, 170 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 6: and there are not a lot of positives at all, 171 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 6: Brandon Aubrey being one of the positives obviously. 172 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 1: But Luke Schoolmaker was a positive for me. 173 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 6: Right he I think he had one targets without me glance, 174 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 6: and I think he had six targets and he caught 175 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 6: all six of those targets. He had the one had 176 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 6: it catch the bass sailled a little bit on Dak Prescott, 177 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 6: and here you have Schoolmaker doing a Jake Ferguson impression 178 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 6: with the one unhanded situation. 179 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 1: So wasn't a lights out. 180 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 6: Affair for Schoolmaker, no, but it was literally a career 181 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 6: day for him, and you wanted to see him make 182 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 6: some steps forward in the absence of Jake Ferguson, and 183 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 6: that's exactly what he did. So give him credit for it. 184 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 6: Give him credit for it. 185 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 3: No doubt. 186 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,119 Speaker 4: And I think if you see Schoolmaker take a step 187 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 4: forward this year, that's a good thing overall for this 188 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 4: offense because then you've got two tight ends that you 189 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 4: trust significantly. Of course, we've talked about John Stevens junior, 190 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:29,239 Speaker 4: We've talked about Brevin Sport. Unfortunately, nobody scored a touchdown 191 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 4: in Week two, so nobody's wearing a full set of 192 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:32,959 Speaker 4: pads that. 193 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,720 Speaker 5: Once unfortunately two chains today, by the way, we always 194 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:42,199 Speaker 5: heard to Kirkle, Kirkole, Kirkle. I'm looking at Kyle Jolman's 195 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 5: with the two chains today. 196 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 1: Absolutely, I think. 197 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 6: It's I think it's to pay homage to Kirkle two chains. 198 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, thanks Kirk, Yeah, appreciate that. 199 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:54,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, that was quite enjoyable to watch. 200 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,440 Speaker 4: Let's talk about that a little bit here. I know 201 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 4: this is talking Cowboys, but I mean. 202 00:08:58,280 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 1: This it impacts the Cowboys. 203 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 4: The Eagles didn't look great. They also didn't look terrible 204 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 4: the Cowboys. If we're talking about Week two, the Eagles 205 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 4: looked okay and the Cowboys looked terrible. 206 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 3: So that's I mean, it's not like we're comparing. 207 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 4: The two, but at the end of the day, they're 208 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 4: both one and one, and it shows that there's maybe 209 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 4: a chink in the armor from the Eagles that we 210 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 4: had seen previously to the final six games last year, 211 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 4: because final six games Eagles last year were detrimental in 212 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 4: their own right. 213 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 5: I was feeling that too. I thought I thought coming 214 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 5: into this season that the Eagles were going to stay 215 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 5: on that trend of like not being that great. Granted 216 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 5: they stole one from Green Bay. 217 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, they're really very mid They're really missed. 218 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:42,239 Speaker 5: I think I really don't think Jill Hurts is that dude. 219 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 6: This is oh, this is me looking for fs to give. 220 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 6: I don't want to hear about banged upe. 221 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,080 Speaker 4: I'm not talking about the Eagles. I'm talking about the Packers. 222 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 4: Oh oh, well because the yeah, because of the Eagles. 223 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, yeah, but I mean the Eagles admit that's 224 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 4: that's just that. That's the funny thing about it is 225 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:04,559 Speaker 4: and not hot ha funny, but just not with Jordan Love. 226 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:10,839 Speaker 6: You're talking, you're talking about Yeah, no, I'm not. No, 227 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 6: can't so won't. But the Eagles can and will Cowboys 228 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,080 Speaker 6: walk into Cleveland and you, you know, pun intended your 229 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 6: dog walk them, ye right, your dog walk them on 230 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 6: the road. You come home and you're, if not the 231 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 6: worst team in the NFL, you get dog walked at home. 232 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 1: Uh. 233 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 6: The Eagles barely escaped against the Packers, right, should have 234 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 6: lost that game, and then they struggled the entirety of 235 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,560 Speaker 6: the game against the Falcons before they finally get something 236 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 6: going late in the game. And then they completely with 237 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,680 Speaker 6: the bed at home against the Falcons team that you 238 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,719 Speaker 6: really at prime time Kirk no less, and if you 239 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 6: know about prime time Kirk, you know that's not a 240 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 6: good version of Kirk. 241 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,199 Speaker 1: Right, So what do you do? 242 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 6: You get Kellen mood And then that's a conversation that's 243 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 6: happening on Twitter right now. 244 00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 1: That's a discourse. 245 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 6: Should he have you know, changed up and called that 246 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,199 Speaker 6: pass play the Saquan and on the screen on the outside, 247 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 6: I don't think you should. If people were blaming Saquan, 248 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 6: and you're right, if that ball's coming your way, catch 249 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 6: the ball. 250 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 1: We were just talking about this. Two things can be true. 251 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 6: What's also true, and a bigger truth for me, is 252 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,719 Speaker 6: that Saquan as you were handing off the ball to him, 253 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 6: he was mauling the Falcons defense and still needed the 254 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,960 Speaker 6: clock working in your favor and against them. So you 255 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 6: needed it running, running, running so they could burn time outs. 256 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,320 Speaker 6: You got cute, and it burned you. You went away 257 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 6: from what was working for what you hope would work, 258 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 6: and your player didn't deliver. So it's on the player. 259 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 6: But it's a butterfly effect of you shouldn't have called 260 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,319 Speaker 6: that in the first place. But nonetheless, here we are 261 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 6: and Eagles fans had a fantastic Monday evening talking their 262 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 6: talk and you know, and getting on Twitter and popping 263 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,959 Speaker 6: off like they do. They earned it that, No, they 264 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:51,199 Speaker 6: actually didn't earn it. 265 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:56,080 Speaker 1: We lost. The Saints earned it. Yes, the Eagles didn't 266 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:56,439 Speaker 1: play the. 267 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 5: Came we also earned But this is what this segment. 268 00:11:58,920 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I mean. 269 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:02,959 Speaker 6: That's that's why you rule of football, wait until your 270 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 6: team plays. There's a reason I didn't talk trash about 271 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 6: LSU on Saturday before my dogs played Kentucky because you 272 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 6: shut up and you wait, yep, because if you talk 273 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 6: too soon, this happens, and then you got to take 274 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,319 Speaker 6: what you auditioned out. And I don't want to hear, 275 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 6: Oh well you got walked down. Yeah we did, Cowboys 276 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 6: absolutely did. You did, but you lost at home to 277 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 6: the Falcons and Kirk after Kirk did what he did 278 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,959 Speaker 6: in week one and he walked you down. You left 279 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,320 Speaker 6: him a minute and forty plus seconds. All he needed 280 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,679 Speaker 6: was sixty baby, Yeah. 281 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 3: He took it one minute, drill all the way back down. 282 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:40,680 Speaker 1: Delicious there. 283 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:42,840 Speaker 4: I mean, this isn't the type of segment that I 284 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,679 Speaker 4: think Cowboys fans want to hear right now, because. 285 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 3: Their team didn't look great either. 286 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 4: And if anything, if Philadelphia looked at Dallas right now 287 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 4: and said they're mad, I think it would be a 288 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 4: warranted response. 289 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 3: That's truly would be because of what they showed us. 290 00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:58,960 Speaker 6: They went high, then they went low, which means the 291 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 6: averages you meant is. 292 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 4: I think the frustrating part right now is and Jerry 293 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:07,839 Speaker 4: Jones just talked about it on the one on five 294 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 4: through the Fan but the inability to find the run 295 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 4: game and you have a guy here in Dalvin Cook 296 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,679 Speaker 4: that you feel like could maybe be a little bit 297 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 4: of a change. I don't know how much of a 298 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,720 Speaker 4: difference it's going to be, but at least it gives 299 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 4: you something different. 300 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:25,840 Speaker 3: You got to try something different. 301 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 4: Or else it's the definition of insanity doing the same 302 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 4: thing over and over again expecting a different result. That's 303 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,599 Speaker 4: kind of what I feel like is coming with the 304 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 4: running game, and sure enough, we may see the same 305 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 4: thing in week three. 306 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,560 Speaker 6: Yeah, let me say this and then segue to that 307 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 6: when it comes to the Eagles losing, you can enjoy 308 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 6: the moment of what that means, not only as a 309 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 6: rival fan base, but the fact is, it was a 310 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 6: strange week for teams to top the NFC. The Cowboys lost, 311 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 6: the Vikings defeated the forty nine ers, the Detroit Lions 312 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 6: lost to Tampa Bay, right, and now the Eagles lose. 313 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 6: So even if you take the subjectivity out of it 314 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 6: and the fandom out of it, the fact is you 315 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 6: got helped. It's okay to celebrate in this moment. 316 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 4: Now. 317 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,680 Speaker 6: I also said this on Twitter. It's always better. It's 318 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 6: made better if you handle your business. If you handle 319 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 6: your business, then these other teams losing, you get to 320 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 6: get the leg up on them. So unfortunately, unfortunately you 321 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 6: blew it by not getting the leg up on However, 322 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 6: as it turns out, and this is something to smile about, 323 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 6: as it turns out, you're going into Week three right 324 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 6: there with them. Okay, Now you can smirk about that, 325 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 6: but also look back at your team and say, you 326 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 6: got to be better. You gotta be better, and that 327 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 6: has to start with Week three against a Raven's team 328 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 6: and Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry and Zay and likely 329 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 6: you're gonna have to get it together defensively because if not, 330 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 6: Lamar Jackson is going to not only run all over 331 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 6: the field, he's going to throw all over the field 332 00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 6: because you've allowed him to run all over the field. 333 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 3: You're wearing purple and black. 334 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 1: I'm wearing purple and black because I'm trying to jink them. 335 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 1: I like it. I'm trying to jenks them. 336 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 6: So you have to get it started this week, and 337 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 6: for me, for the Cowboys, you it starts with the 338 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 6: run game. You have to establish that control time of position, 339 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 6: but I think it gets slightly deeper than that, and 340 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 6: I'm interested to hear what you guys think about this. 341 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,560 Speaker 6: It's easy to always say, oh, when time of position, 342 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 6: when time of posision, when time of position. It's got 343 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:29,120 Speaker 6: to be more than that. It's got to be that 344 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 6: plus something else. You were winning time of possession for 345 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 6: the large majority of the game against the Saints, and 346 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 6: you were still getting the doors blown off of you. 347 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 1: Because it drives. But correct. They were efficient and explosive. 348 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 6: They had ten fewer offensive plays, but they had forty 349 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 6: four points and you had nineteen. So it's one thing 350 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 6: to control time of position. So you need to do that, 351 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 6: But what you also need to do effective week three 352 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 6: is you need explosive plays and you need to be 353 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 6: efficient when you have the ball, and that goes to 354 00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 6: converting on third down as well. 355 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree, And I'm also thinking in terms of 356 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 5: the run game, you have Zeke in Rico obviously splitting 357 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 5: the carries. Zeke has sixteen, Rico has fifteen. They both 358 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 5: have only fifty six yards on the ground I mean split. 359 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 5: I'm saying both of them are identical fifty six yards 360 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 5: twinsies exactly three point five yards average. When we were 361 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,280 Speaker 5: sitting here talking about the run game, and you know, 362 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 5: with the guys that we have, Isaiah Standback sat here 363 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 5: and said, we need to average four yards per carry. 364 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 1: Yeah. 365 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 5: A big part of that to me is how the 366 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 5: offensive line is able to run, block and push the 367 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 5: line going forward. If you can give these guys that 368 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 5: extra half yard, if we can start averaging more yards 369 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 5: for them, I think that helps in a big, big, 370 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 5: big way. Dalvin Cook in twenty twenty two averaged four 371 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 5: point five yards per attempt. However, last year with the 372 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 5: Jets and then also at the end with the Ravens 373 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 5: only averaged three point two yards per attempt. I don't 374 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 5: want to say even if Dalvin could is involved at 375 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 5: this point, it's going to be more of the same. 376 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 5: I don't know. That for sure. But that's what the 377 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 5: science is telling you, right science. 378 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 6: I have a question though about this run game, particularly 379 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,880 Speaker 6: coming out of week two's affair. Going into week two 380 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:19,680 Speaker 6: and albeit in the tight end capacity, we heard a 381 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,119 Speaker 6: lot about Hunter Lipkey and what the value he brings 382 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 6: and how you know, quote unquote, you don't know. You 383 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 6: guys don't know really what he means to this team 384 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 6: and what can mean he came into this team. 385 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 1: Where was he on week in Week two? And this 386 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 1: is not a knock on hundred lipcky. 387 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 6: He's not the one like calling his own shot right, 388 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 6: No targets to Hunter Lipkey, no handoffs. 389 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 5: Nope to and he had a solid Week one right. 390 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 6: I say that to say, let's get Hunter Lipkey involved 391 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 6: and see if that can help jump start this run offense. 392 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:55,159 Speaker 4: He played ten snaps, fourteen percent of the offensive play calls, 393 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 4: ten snaps, touched the. 394 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:57,240 Speaker 1: Ball zero times. 395 00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:59,159 Speaker 3: Yeah, these are some of the guys that touch the 396 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 3: ball either equal or two or more than. 397 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:06,359 Speaker 4: Hunter Lipkey did. Deuce Vaughan Brevins van Ford had twelve 398 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:11,160 Speaker 4: more snaps than Hunter Lipkey. Jalen Brooks had eighteen more 399 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 4: snaps than Hunter lip Key, and then the rest of 400 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 4: the guys, you would kind of anticipate being there. 401 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 3: But of course, I mean TJ Bass almost had the 402 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 3: same amount of snaps. 403 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,919 Speaker 4: And TJ Bass played eight offensive snaps in place of 404 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 4: Zach Martin and he had eight STAPs. 405 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 1: Hunter Lipkey had ten. 406 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:32,239 Speaker 3: Yeah, in non existent, non existent Hunter lip Key. 407 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:36,919 Speaker 6: So while we are justifiably asking what's up with the 408 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 6: overshown snaps? And I said it yesterday and it was 409 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,239 Speaker 6: confirmed by Mike McCarthy and it was confirmed again by 410 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,040 Speaker 6: Mike Zimmer not thirty minutes later. It was because it 411 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 6: was base packages versus sub packages. So ladies, you gentlemen, 412 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 6: go back and watch yesterday's episode for a breakdown on 413 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 6: why Overshown only had eighteen reps against against the Saints, 414 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 6: And hopefully that change is going forward effective immediately, but 415 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 6: not indifferent from that or dissimilar. That is the Hunter 416 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:05,160 Speaker 6: Lipkey question. We so much praise is being heaped upon 417 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,199 Speaker 6: the value of Hunter Lipken where he can bring to 418 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:11,280 Speaker 6: this offense. We didn't see any of that in week two, 419 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,880 Speaker 6: so hopefully we see it in week three because again, 420 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:18,720 Speaker 6: this rushing attack needs some juice and I just feel 421 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 6: like Hunter Lipkeyah, we're talking about Dalvin Cook, and maybe 422 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,639 Speaker 6: Dalvin Cook can come in and give you what he 423 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 6: was a couple of seasons ago versus what he was 424 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:27,679 Speaker 6: last season. 425 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 1: But number one, you don't. 426 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 6: Know that who you pushing to the side for Dalvin, 427 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:38,159 Speaker 6: Which is a conversation. I think see that, that's a conversation. 428 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,440 Speaker 6: But I think before and maybe this is what Jerry 429 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:43,359 Speaker 6: is thinking. Maybe I don't know. I don't want to 430 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 6: speak for the man. But the only way I could 431 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 6: justify not activating or elevating Dalvin Cook is if I 432 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 6: am of the firm belief that Hunter Lipkey gets really 433 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 6: involved in this Week three game. Because if Dalvin Cook 434 00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,439 Speaker 6: is not elevated and Hunter Lipkey is put on a 435 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,399 Speaker 6: milk carton again and as rushing a tech struggles again, 436 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 6: the questions just get bigger. 437 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 4: And it's going up against the Ravens front seven. That's significant, 438 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 4: that is good, and they've got safeties on the backside. 439 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:12,879 Speaker 4: They're going to challenge this passing attack. 440 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,360 Speaker 3: This is not going to be an easy. 441 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,119 Speaker 4: Offensive matchup for Dallas this week, and we'll break that 442 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,480 Speaker 4: down on Thursday a little bit more in depth. But yeah, 443 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:23,879 Speaker 4: I'm not looking forward to it, especially if there's not 444 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,360 Speaker 4: going to be any changes made in between. 445 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 3: Now, and that doesn't need to be anything crazy. 446 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,119 Speaker 4: I saw somebody ask me the question of are you 447 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:34,359 Speaker 4: talking about in house making a change, free agents making 448 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,040 Speaker 4: a change, or trades when it comes to the running 449 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:36,560 Speaker 4: back room. 450 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:38,640 Speaker 3: I don't think. 451 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,360 Speaker 4: There's a wrong answer, but there's a right one somewhere. 452 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,159 Speaker 4: I think right now, your wrong answer is keeping it 453 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:45,879 Speaker 4: the same. That's where I'm at. If you need to 454 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 4: make a trade exactly, If you need to make a trade, 455 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,440 Speaker 4: go make a trade. Go make it happen. You've got 456 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 4: some draft capital, make it work. If it works that way, fine, 457 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,679 Speaker 4: because either that or you're talking about Ollie Gordon or 458 00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,639 Speaker 4: Brooks out of Texas Tech and Oklahoma State, the Ollie 459 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 4: Gordon in the draft, and we're talking about a first 460 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,399 Speaker 4: round pick, which you should never ever spend on a 461 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 4: running back, but you need one that badly that you 462 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:12,439 Speaker 4: might have to at that point. I I want to 463 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 4: see what a trade looks like. I want to see 464 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 4: what I mean free agents. It's probably already slim pickens 465 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 4: as well. 466 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:20,679 Speaker 1: You have for the Chiefs. 467 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:24,359 Speaker 4: Yeah, you've got Dalvin Cook in the backfield waiting on 468 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:25,640 Speaker 4: the practice squad waiting. 469 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,119 Speaker 3: Maybe that's the answer, but at least give it a shot. 470 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:30,359 Speaker 1: I kick some tires. 471 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 6: I don't see that there's an available free agent that 472 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,359 Speaker 6: would give you much more than you're hoping Dalvin Cooking, 473 00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:39,440 Speaker 6: because I think it's either because even Cowboys fans there, 474 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 6: you know that, are asking Will why didn't they go 475 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,720 Speaker 6: and sign Kareem Hunk. Kareem Hunk because they have Dalvin 476 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:47,440 Speaker 6: cook And what's the difference? Not a lot, if any, 477 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 6: if anything, if anything. So if you're going to point 478 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,159 Speaker 6: at a particular person and say, okay, this might be 479 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 6: the fix, that person is likely already on a team, 480 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 6: so you're going to. 481 00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:58,240 Speaker 1: Have to go trade for him. Yeah. 482 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 4: Man, I don't like talking about it, but we have to. 483 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 4: We have to talk about talk cowboys because we talk cowboys. 484 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:06,080 Speaker 5: Talk at Cowboy, and you've got an opportunity the number 485 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 5: eight A eight eight five five two two nine seven. 486 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:10,639 Speaker 4: We've got our first callers on the line. We'll get 487 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:12,879 Speaker 4: to them when we come back right after this with 488 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:14,119 Speaker 4: more talking cowboys. 489 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,119 Speaker 7: Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the 490 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 7: Cheatah Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat repellent he bought 491 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 7: online was reliable, and then Todd is trying to be 492 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 7: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour. 493 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 7: But the good news is Todd has AT and T 494 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 7: five G.

How in week one we were 547 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:06,159 Speaker 1: so good. 548 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,520 Speaker 10: In a week two, it's like a total disaster. 549 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,680 Speaker 11: It it reminded me last year's playoff game. 550 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:14,439 Speaker 8: I mean, honestly, I mean, I know it's. 551 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,080 Speaker 11: Only we two, but still it's we got it. 552 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:17,199 Speaker 8: We gotta get a fixed. 553 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,440 Speaker 3: I agree, I agree, Mike, Thanks for the call. 554 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:22,360 Speaker 4: Let's talk about that run defense a little bit here, 555 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 4: because you go back and you watch the film a 556 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:28,080 Speaker 4: little bit more in depth in between yesterday's show and 557 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:36,359 Speaker 4: today's show, and these defensive tackles got absolutely annihilated that. 558 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:40,679 Speaker 4: I mean, no if answer, but it looked like it 559 00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 4: looked like Thanos was was blocking up front, just like yeah, 560 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 4: and just pushing forward. I don't like it whenever, and 561 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:54,360 Speaker 4: I know this clip had been circling Cowboys Twitter over 562 00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,040 Speaker 4: the last forty eight hours or so, but I don't 563 00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:02,200 Speaker 4: like it whenever You've got a player Jordan Phillips starting 564 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 4: at the five yard line in the Alvin Kamara touchdown 565 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,040 Speaker 4: run from five yards out and he ends up in 566 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 4: the end zone at the end of the play. In 567 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 4: that quick of a moment where Kamara takes the football 568 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:15,919 Speaker 4: and walks into the end zone. 569 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,399 Speaker 3: He got pushed from the five yard. 570 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,680 Speaker 4: Line into the end zone. That can't happen. You gotta 571 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,280 Speaker 4: hold the line of scrimmage. And that's where it starts 572 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 4: for me. In the run game, you gotta just have 573 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,359 Speaker 4: better defensive tackle play. I think they can get it. 574 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,200 Speaker 4: I do, actually, contrary to how I believe in the 575 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,040 Speaker 4: running back room, I believe in the defensive tackle room 576 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:34,680 Speaker 4: a little bit. 577 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 3: I think there will be a step up in that regard. 578 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,400 Speaker 4: Maybe that's crazy, maybe that's a little outlandish. I thought 579 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 4: there was some good film from Phillips outside of that rep. 580 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,399 Speaker 4: I thought there was some decent film from Lynville Joseph 581 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:48,240 Speaker 4: in limited Action. 582 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 3: I think there's ways that they can improve. I just 583 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:52,359 Speaker 3: haven't seen anything. 584 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,440 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think they were sitting in the lunch line 585 00:26:54,440 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 5: with empty pockets yesterday. Just got absolutely bullied in that game. 586 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 5: Empty pockets, empty pockets. Man, it feels no free lunch 587 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,320 Speaker 5: in the no free lunch. And then in the second half, 588 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:09,640 Speaker 5: I think a big part of what you saw as 589 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:13,080 Speaker 5: far as just just getting bulldozed, I think it was 590 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:15,280 Speaker 5: just sort of like going through the motions and like 591 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:19,159 Speaker 5: we're getting beat. This is what's happening, and it was 592 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:23,720 Speaker 5: like a what's that called where it's just like an inevitability. 593 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 5: We're talking about Danos, right, it's just like, yeah, they're 594 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:29,520 Speaker 5: gonna score, like yeah, And I'm not gonna I'm not 595 00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:31,680 Speaker 5: gonna judge anybody for lack of effort or anything like that. 596 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:35,520 Speaker 5: But it just flicked that way, right, it just looked 597 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:36,720 Speaker 5: like they're gonna score. 598 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:38,920 Speaker 1: Yeah. Good. I don't know, I don't know. 599 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:41,800 Speaker 6: I don't know that it was lack of effort, And 600 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:45,200 Speaker 6: for me, it really just boils down to lack of execution. 601 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:48,879 Speaker 6: These guys were getting moved off of their spots on 602 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 6: virtually every play in the trenches. And Jordan Phillips is 603 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:53,639 Speaker 6: coming off a week when we were just saying that 604 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 6: he had one of the one of the better games 605 00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 6: of the Cowboys in Cleveland. You know, he was able 606 00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,119 Speaker 6: to get his hands on this watch and almost put 607 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:04,160 Speaker 6: them through the planet. Right, And Jordan Phillips has also 608 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:07,639 Speaker 6: had a good short portion of training camp, but he 609 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:09,560 Speaker 6: looked good and you know the portional training camp that 610 00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:12,760 Speaker 6: he participated in. So yeah, small example size in that 611 00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:14,199 Speaker 6: this was just a bad game for him, But it 612 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:15,600 Speaker 6: was a bad game for the guy to the left 613 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:18,399 Speaker 6: of him, to the right of him, to the guys 614 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 6: behind him. I mean, it was a bad game for 615 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,119 Speaker 6: most guys on defense. But you got to get it 616 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:26,560 Speaker 6: fixed because you bring in the involve Joseph, you trade 617 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 6: for Jordan Phillips, You need Mosie Smith to take a 618 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 6: step up. You go and get Eric Kendricks to lead 619 00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:36,040 Speaker 6: this linebacker corps, and the linebackers are going to be 620 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,520 Speaker 6: needed to help with that run defense. But I saw 621 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,080 Speaker 6: lack of gap integrity. I mean I saw the gaps 622 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,720 Speaker 6: just to cinegrade. I saw guys getting moved off their spot. 623 00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:47,120 Speaker 6: And granted we don't know who what keys belonged to 624 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:50,040 Speaker 6: what guys, but none of those keys were found. Everybody 625 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,400 Speaker 6: was looking for the keys, right It's like you're sitting 626 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:56,040 Speaker 6: at home where m keys, we're mc key's, that's pockets, 627 00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:57,640 Speaker 6: and like we're mkeys And that's what it felt like 628 00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 6: looking at the Cowboys defense. So until unless they get 629 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:04,560 Speaker 6: that gap integrity back like they had against Cleveland, unless 630 00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,640 Speaker 6: they get to not playing hero ball, which is the 631 00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 6: danger of getting blown out because as the game goes on, 632 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 6: you start pressing and you start trusting the guy next 633 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:17,400 Speaker 6: to you a little bit less and a little bit less, 634 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,160 Speaker 6: and you're like, Okay, well he may not make this 635 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 6: play because he didn't make the last play, so now 636 00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:22,800 Speaker 6: I need to make that play. But then now you're 637 00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,120 Speaker 6: off of your spot, and now guess where that play 638 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:26,959 Speaker 6: is coming to the spot that you should have been 639 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 6: taken care of. 640 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 4: Just to ask a follow up on the keys thing, 641 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:32,480 Speaker 4: if we're searching for keys and we're looking for it, 642 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:33,960 Speaker 4: and I agree with you, I think there were times 643 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:37,000 Speaker 4: where it looked like Dallas didn't know their assignment, didn't 644 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,320 Speaker 4: know their alignment, and of course assignment in alignment that's 645 00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:42,360 Speaker 4: half of the battle in football. Yes, who is that on? 646 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 4: Is that on a player? Is that on each individual player? 647 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:47,960 Speaker 4: Or is that on Mike Zimmer's system? And maybe it 648 00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 4: being too complex at this point in the season. 649 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,520 Speaker 6: I don't think that it's too complex, But I will 650 00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,680 Speaker 6: say I love Mike Zimmer taking one hundred percent accountability 651 00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,400 Speaker 6: they did yesterday. Yesterday he said, I've got to do 652 00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:02,160 Speaker 6: a better job. That's on me, point blank. Every time 653 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,240 Speaker 6: the question went to was it an effort thing, he 654 00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:06,440 Speaker 6: was like, no, I got to prepare these guys better. 655 00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:08,360 Speaker 6: And then, to his credit, he went into detail as 656 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:11,000 Speaker 6: far as what does that mean, and he said, you know, 657 00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,320 Speaker 6: he didn't prepare them well enough to stop the run 658 00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,000 Speaker 6: with the keys and the assignments. So when you start 659 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,640 Speaker 6: to look at it from that capacity, it starts to 660 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,080 Speaker 6: make a little bit more sense as far as why, 661 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,320 Speaker 6: based on how the Saints were calling the game offensively, 662 00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:28,240 Speaker 6: why the Cowboys defense was so out of sorts with Okay, well, 663 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:32,200 Speaker 6: if this is supposed to be my key, but if 664 00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:34,880 Speaker 6: I do that, then this is going to work. So 665 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:36,800 Speaker 6: I'm going to change my key in real time. But 666 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:38,960 Speaker 6: then he went this way, so Eric Kendricks kind of 667 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:40,920 Speaker 6: touched on it after the game when he said, we 668 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 6: were talking about Alvin Kamara and he said the problem 669 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:45,960 Speaker 6: was when he get the ball and he'd show you 670 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,080 Speaker 6: that it's a front fit. Well, Kendricks is like, okay, 671 00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 6: that's my key. But then he'd take it to the backfit, 672 00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:51,960 Speaker 6: or he'd show you the backfit. He's like, okay, well 673 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:54,280 Speaker 6: that's the key. So instead of sticking with whatever the 674 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:56,880 Speaker 6: key might have been happening. And that's again the danger 675 00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,320 Speaker 6: of getting blown out. You start pressing and you start 676 00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,320 Speaker 6: trying to over think instead of just cutting loose and 677 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:06,600 Speaker 6: playing football. Against the Browns, they cut loose. They played football. 678 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,400 Speaker 6: That's why they were able to dominate against the Saints. 679 00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,040 Speaker 6: They were playing on their heels and then they started 680 00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,320 Speaker 6: getting pushed back, and then they started playing hero ball, 681 00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:17,240 Speaker 6: and it just it was a cascade of nonsense after. 682 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:19,080 Speaker 5: That's that's a much better way than what I was 683 00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:23,720 Speaker 5: trying to I guess articulate. It wasn't lack of effort. 684 00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:26,320 Speaker 5: I didn't see that on my end. It definitely just 685 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:27,640 Speaker 5: felt like they were just getting blown up. 686 00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:27,960 Speaker 1: Dude. 687 00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:29,640 Speaker 5: They were getting blown up and they were pressing at 688 00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:30,000 Speaker 5: that point. 689 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:33,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, right, It turns into that, and Alvin Kamara, to 690 00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:35,760 Speaker 4: be fair, has had Mike Zimmer's number throughout his career. 691 00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:37,440 Speaker 3: Four touchdowns on Sunday. 692 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:40,440 Speaker 4: Everybody already knows that second time he's done that in 693 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:42,640 Speaker 4: his career. The other one, of course, was Week sixteen 694 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,560 Speaker 4: of twenty twenty. Alvin Kamara fantasy owners or those that 695 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,000 Speaker 4: played against them that week will remember he had six 696 00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:51,360 Speaker 4: touchdowns against the Vikings. Both defenses were coached by one 697 00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 4: Mike Zimmer. Kamara has fourteen scrimmage touchdowns in six games 698 00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:59,000 Speaker 4: against Zimmer as a head coach or a defensive coordinator, 699 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:00,560 Speaker 4: most against Zim him out. 700 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:01,320 Speaker 3: Of any player. 701 00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:05,520 Speaker 6: Pickle juice, pickle juice, pickle juice, Zimmer said yesterday, pickle 702 00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:08,800 Speaker 6: pickle juice game. He said that that conjured memories of 703 00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:10,560 Speaker 6: the pickle juice game. And for those that don't know, 704 00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:12,600 Speaker 6: because I know there are some don't. Year two thousand, 705 00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:15,560 Speaker 6: Mike Zimmer's first year as defensive coordinator. He was defensive 706 00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:18,440 Speaker 6: backs coach previously, but first game as defensive coordinator for 707 00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:22,000 Speaker 6: the Cowboys first game of the Dan Campbell as head 708 00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:25,680 Speaker 6: of coach era in March the Philadelphia Eagles in Texas 709 00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:29,280 Speaker 6: Stadium and do Staley goes for over two hundred yards 710 00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:32,840 Speaker 6: on the ground and the Eagles win forty one to 711 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:33,640 Speaker 6: like fourteen. 712 00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,240 Speaker 1: I believe so. And if you're wondering why they call it. 713 00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,640 Speaker 6: The pickle juice game, it's because the Eagles players were 714 00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:41,360 Speaker 6: drinking pickle juice to combat cramping that was happening in 715 00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:43,400 Speaker 6: the Texas heat. So that's just the name of the 716 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:47,240 Speaker 6: game because of what happened in that capacity. But Mike 717 00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:50,720 Speaker 6: Zimmer got walked on the ground and he basically said 718 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:52,720 Speaker 6: if I didn't fix it, then I wouldn't be talking 719 00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:52,960 Speaker 6: to you. 720 00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:53,240 Speaker 1: Now. 721 00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,360 Speaker 6: My only issue with that is, and I wrote this 722 00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:58,960 Speaker 6: in the article on the dot com yesterday, it took 723 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,280 Speaker 6: two years to fix it, right, because. 724 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:03,440 Speaker 3: It went like five. 725 00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:04,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right. 726 00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:05,840 Speaker 6: And I'm not so much on the record as far 727 00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,400 Speaker 6: as because if we're focusing on the run defense, the 728 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,640 Speaker 6: record is the totality of the team, quarterback, head coach, 729 00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:14,479 Speaker 6: offensive play calling, the elect the whole situation. But if 730 00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:17,720 Speaker 6: we're talking about did Zimmer improve over the picklejuice game. 731 00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:17,960 Speaker 1: He did. 732 00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:21,320 Speaker 6: It got better in two thousand and one, and then 733 00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:23,480 Speaker 6: in two thousand and two in both yards per carry 734 00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:27,680 Speaker 6: and in rushing touchdowns allowed. The Cowboys run defense was 735 00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:29,840 Speaker 6: top ten in the league. So he did fix it. 736 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:33,280 Speaker 6: Problem is he only has he only has a one 737 00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:36,160 Speaker 6: year deal right now, so you don't have one or 738 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:37,320 Speaker 6: two years to fix oout a week? 739 00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:39,320 Speaker 1: How's a week? Yeah? 740 00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:39,800 Speaker 10: How a week? 741 00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:41,640 Speaker 1: How six days? 742 00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:42,160 Speaker 3: Yeah? 743 00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:43,240 Speaker 1: Yeah? Okay, it's make it worse. 744 00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:44,760 Speaker 3: That's what you got. Yeah, that's what you got to 745 00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:45,160 Speaker 3: deal with. 746 00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:47,720 Speaker 4: All right, Let's go to Gary in New Mexico. Gary, 747 00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:49,920 Speaker 4: you're on talking Cowboys. Heks for the call again. What's 748 00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:50,320 Speaker 4: going on? 749 00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:54,080 Speaker 11: Hey, guys. There was a Jone Jets song when I 750 00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:57,080 Speaker 11: was in high school called I Hate Myself for Loving You, 751 00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:00,479 Speaker 11: and that is my song for the Cowboys. I just 752 00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:03,520 Speaker 11: can't break free, man. And even after as bad as 753 00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:08,200 Speaker 11: they look Sunday, I'm still cautiously optimistic. And let's think 754 00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:10,120 Speaker 11: about this. And y'all have talked about this, son, but 755 00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:14,000 Speaker 11: this is a new defensive scheme. You're going up against 756 00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,279 Speaker 11: a New Orleans team that's running a new scheme, so 757 00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:18,839 Speaker 11: it's an uncommon opponent. We got a lot of young 758 00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:22,080 Speaker 11: guys out there playing Overshown's basically a rookie coming off 759 00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:24,319 Speaker 11: of a bad knee injury. Digs Is coming off a 760 00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:27,000 Speaker 11: bad injury. You got a rookie corner on the other side, 761 00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:29,239 Speaker 11: and then you look around the league. Look at what 762 00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,839 Speaker 11: happened to the Rams, look at what happened to Philadelphia 763 00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,200 Speaker 11: and San Francisco and Baltimore. It was just one of 764 00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:37,759 Speaker 11: those weeks, man, where things went differently than we all expected. 765 00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:41,120 Speaker 11: I have confidence that they can get this corrected and 766 00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:44,959 Speaker 11: get this fixed and still do everything that we hope 767 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:46,960 Speaker 11: that they can do. So I just like your thoughts 768 00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:47,239 Speaker 11: on that. 769 00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:49,360 Speaker 4: No, I appreciate the call, and it does provide a 770 00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,640 Speaker 4: little bit of context when you do look around the league. 771 00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,160 Speaker 3: Like I said, this is not giving an excuse to 772 00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:56,839 Speaker 3: how Dallas played on Sunday, no doubt about it. 773 00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:59,680 Speaker 1: Who things can be true, absolutely. 774 00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:01,399 Speaker 3: But there was a ten game slate and it did 775 00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:05,760 Speaker 3: not disappoint Saints, of course beating Dallas. The Raiders upset 776 00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:07,880 Speaker 3: the Ravens in Baltimore, and now the Ravens are a 777 00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:09,960 Speaker 3: little upset coming in here. On Sunday. 778 00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:13,319 Speaker 4: The Bucks upset the Lions in Detroit, Vikings upset the 779 00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:14,040 Speaker 4: forty nine ers. 780 00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:15,160 Speaker 3: Commanders kick a. 781 00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:18,360 Speaker 4: Walk off field goal to win a divisional game. Seahawks 782 00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:21,120 Speaker 4: win in overtime, Malik Willis somehow leads the Packers to 783 00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:23,120 Speaker 4: a w and a lot of people didn't even know 784 00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:25,800 Speaker 4: that Milik Willis was on the Packers until he started 785 00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:28,880 Speaker 4: that game because Jordan loved Is out Aaron Rodgers first 786 00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:31,640 Speaker 4: win as a jet. I mean, there are so many 787 00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:34,880 Speaker 4: different things that happened in the second week. What that 788 00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:36,879 Speaker 4: tells me is the NFL is back. 789 00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:37,680 Speaker 1: It's the second week. 790 00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:39,840 Speaker 3: It's the second week. It's September football. 791 00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,000 Speaker 4: Like Mike McCarthy talks about, there are so many things 792 00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:43,600 Speaker 4: that can go right. There's so many things that can 793 00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:45,520 Speaker 4: go wrong, and unfortunately you were just on the wrong 794 00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:48,240 Speaker 4: side of it for one week. You can fix it, though, 795 00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:50,080 Speaker 4: and that's kind of what we're talking about here. 796 00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:50,919 Speaker 1: And that's I. 797 00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:55,200 Speaker 4: Believe where the caution and optimism comes from from Gary, is. 798 00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:56,400 Speaker 3: You can fix it. 799 00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:59,640 Speaker 4: Outside of those guys that are coming back from big injuries, 800 00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:02,440 Speaker 4: outside of those guys that are youthful on the offensive 801 00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:03,400 Speaker 4: and defensive sides. 802 00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:06,040 Speaker 3: They have all pros scattered at every level of this 803 00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:06,760 Speaker 3: football team. 804 00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:09,480 Speaker 4: They can find a way to win football games, and 805 00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:10,880 Speaker 4: they will win football games. 806 00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:11,839 Speaker 3: You just can't get. 807 00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:13,480 Speaker 5: Blown out at home like that. That's where I have 808 00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:17,239 Speaker 5: the one knock back one hundred percent. It's disappointing, it 809 00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:19,640 Speaker 5: really is. But again, like we talked about, it is 810 00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:22,880 Speaker 5: week two and there's a long season ahead of us. 811 00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:25,560 Speaker 5: There's a lot we haven't even met a divisional opponent yet, right, 812 00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:31,720 Speaker 5: so I am withholding too much criticism. Like I really 813 00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,480 Speaker 5: didn't like the run game at all. I'm worried about 814 00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:39,080 Speaker 5: the receiving corps at this point. I would feel like 815 00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:42,720 Speaker 5: a move would I think a move at wide receiver 816 00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:46,960 Speaker 5: would be more beneficial than running back. Really, outside of 817 00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:52,240 Speaker 5: Ceedee Lamb, Tolbert had nine targets or in total this season, 818 00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:55,160 Speaker 5: Tolbert has nine targets seven receptions. Brandon cook Is nine targets, 819 00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:56,360 Speaker 5: six receptions. 820 00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:57,480 Speaker 1: That's a problem. 821 00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:00,560 Speaker 4: If Jalen target or Jalen Tolbert's getting targeted more than 822 00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:03,440 Speaker 4: as much as brand Cooks, that's an issue. That's what 823 00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:04,440 Speaker 4: we talked about yesterday. 824 00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:07,000 Speaker 5: With more yards than Brandon Cooks, by the way, but 825 00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:10,239 Speaker 5: is that on Cooks. I think that's on the lack 826 00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:12,200 Speaker 5: of I think that is. 827 00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:14,520 Speaker 1: Is it somewhat when he's targeted, does he come down 828 00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:14,919 Speaker 1: with the ball? 829 00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:19,759 Speaker 5: What was it against six on nine targets? For Brandon Cooks. 830 00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:21,399 Speaker 1: So for the most part, when he's targeted, he comes down. 831 00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:22,880 Speaker 5: Tulbert has more receptions. 832 00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:24,799 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, you got to throw the football, but 833 00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:26,680 Speaker 4: a lot of times you're getting targeted because you're open 834 00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:28,120 Speaker 4: or because you have space. 835 00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:31,320 Speaker 1: I'm not too concerned. I agree with wide receiver. 836 00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:33,440 Speaker 6: And I say this because going into the season, I 837 00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:35,279 Speaker 6: said Jake Ferguson was going to be the number two 838 00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:38,719 Speaker 6: receiver mm hm, and he but when it's all said 839 00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:40,360 Speaker 6: and done, he will be the number two receiver. And 840 00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:42,239 Speaker 6: he wasn't on the field for week two, but he'll 841 00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:43,879 Speaker 6: be on the field knock on wood for week three. 842 00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:44,680 Speaker 10: Ye. 843 00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:47,840 Speaker 1: So your number two receiver is not a receiver. 844 00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:50,719 Speaker 5: I think outside of that, though, who are who are 845 00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:54,040 Speaker 5: defenses afraid of a side outside of Cde Lamb and 846 00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:55,680 Speaker 5: outside of Jake Ferguson. 847 00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:57,839 Speaker 1: No one afraid, No one right here? 848 00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:00,440 Speaker 5: I think that is a problem. 849 00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:03,240 Speaker 1: But you have a problem, but you have Here's where 850 00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:04,120 Speaker 1: here's what we differ. 851 00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,759 Speaker 6: You're not wrong in that capacity, You're not wrong at 852 00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:10,759 Speaker 6: any capacity because it's your opinion. But what I view 853 00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:15,000 Speaker 6: it as if you're talking about possibly making a trade 854 00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,719 Speaker 6: at wide receiver as being more beneficial than making a 855 00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:21,439 Speaker 6: trade at running back. You have to look at talent levels, right. 856 00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:25,480 Speaker 6: You have far more talent in your wide receiver room 857 00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:28,320 Speaker 6: than you have in the running backs room. 858 00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:30,359 Speaker 1: Right, Because even if you even if. 859 00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:33,759 Speaker 4: Starting from floor two versus starting from Florida and trying 860 00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:34,640 Speaker 4: to get to the third life. 861 00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:36,799 Speaker 6: Because even if you say, you know, Cooks got off 862 00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:38,560 Speaker 6: to a hot start in Cleveland, but kind of slowed 863 00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:40,120 Speaker 6: he cooled in week two. 864 00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:43,040 Speaker 1: That's one hundred percent accurate. But he's still. 865 00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:47,480 Speaker 6: Brandon Cooks and a multi time thousand yard receiver, still 866 00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:50,160 Speaker 6: still operating at a high level. You got Ceedee Lamb, 867 00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:54,040 Speaker 6: Jake Ferguson. You know tober It is capable. Jalen Brooks 868 00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:56,000 Speaker 6: is capable when he doesn't stumble on the route. But 869 00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:57,960 Speaker 6: he doesn't do that because we've seen him, you know, 870 00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:00,640 Speaker 6: make plays more often than not when given an opportunity. 871 00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:04,080 Speaker 6: How about getting Kavante Turpin more involved in the passing 872 00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:06,320 Speaker 6: game as well? Where's Kvante Turpin's targets? You see what 873 00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:09,719 Speaker 6: I mean? So you have an abundance of talent and 874 00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:13,600 Speaker 6: ability at wide receiver that, from my opinion, doesn't warrant 875 00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:17,280 Speaker 6: you needing to give up capital to go and get one. 876 00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:19,799 Speaker 6: But if you're talking about the running backs room, I 877 00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:22,000 Speaker 6: wouldn't say do it right now, but I would say 878 00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:24,160 Speaker 6: if in a couple of weeks, and that includes having 879 00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:27,000 Speaker 6: seen Dalvin Cook a couple of times, if that's still 880 00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:29,520 Speaker 6: not working, then you can honestly look back at the 881 00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:32,200 Speaker 6: beginning of the season, before the season got underway and say, well, 882 00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:32,640 Speaker 6: that was. 883 00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:34,239 Speaker 1: A question going in. 884 00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:36,799 Speaker 6: You weren't wondering if you would make a trade at 885 00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:39,359 Speaker 6: wide receiver going in, So if you're wondering it now, 886 00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:42,400 Speaker 6: I don't think it's because of a talent deficiency. It 887 00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:44,600 Speaker 6: goes to how are you scheming, how are you targeting? 888 00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:46,959 Speaker 6: Get Kavante Turpin more involved, stretch the field a little 889 00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:49,520 Speaker 6: more often, get Cooks more involved a little bit earlier 890 00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:51,439 Speaker 6: so he can get in the rhythm, and then Jake 891 00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:54,080 Speaker 6: Ferguson obviously, so forth and so on. So that's what 892 00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:56,120 Speaker 6: I mean when I say I wouldn't trade for a 893 00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:58,120 Speaker 6: wide receiver in lieu of trading for a running back. 894 00:39:58,120 --> 00:39:59,000 Speaker 1: And this is not a team that. 895 00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,200 Speaker 6: Likes to strike a lot of trade, So careful to 896 00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:03,200 Speaker 6: asking what that they trade for, because if they trade 897 00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:05,680 Speaker 6: for a they're not going to trade for b Yeah. 898 00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:07,960 Speaker 4: All right, let's take our second break because we've got 899 00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:10,400 Speaker 4: some more calls to get to with this talking Tuesday 900 00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:13,440 Speaker 4: eight eight eight eight five five two two nine seven, 901 00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:15,120 Speaker 4: we'll be back with more talking Cowboys. 902 00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:18,160 Speaker 7: Right after this, Todd thought it would be secure to 903 00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:20,839 Speaker 7: jog in the cheetah Savannah. Todd believed the big cat 904 00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:24,120 Speaker 7: repellent he bought online was reliable.

Welcome back in, Patrick 951 00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:38,279 Speaker 4: Noci Walker, Josh Rodriguez. I'm Kyle Yemas with Chris Beam 952 00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:41,040 Speaker 4: in the back, and we've got Dylan from Northport, Florida 953 00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:41,920 Speaker 4: on the line. 954 00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:43,040 Speaker 3: Dylan, what's going on? 955 00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:46,120 Speaker 10: Hey guys, how's going today? 956 00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:46,840 Speaker 3: It's great. 957 00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:49,799 Speaker 4: I know you're very involved with storyline, but it's good 958 00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:52,439 Speaker 4: to have you on the Talking Cowboys side of things too. 959 00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:56,080 Speaker 10: Yeah. And I tuned in just a little while ago 960 00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:57,799 Speaker 10: heard you guys talking about their own backs and thought 961 00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:00,719 Speaker 10: i'd chime in. My thought on the whole thing with 962 00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:03,239 Speaker 10: Dalvin Cook is that if you're gonna elevate him, I 963 00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:06,040 Speaker 10: see people wanting to take down Deuce and give up 964 00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:09,160 Speaker 10: on him and I'm just like, if you have Zeke 965 00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:11,399 Speaker 10: and Cook on the roster in the game day roster 966 00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:14,319 Speaker 10: at the same time, if you have an unnecessary redundancy 967 00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:16,520 Speaker 10: between their skill sets, and you also created a void 968 00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:18,160 Speaker 10: on special teams as well, because none of those guys 969 00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:20,359 Speaker 10: are gonna play special teams at that point. And if 970 00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:22,440 Speaker 10: you look at the production from last week from the 971 00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:26,000 Speaker 10: Saints game, if you take out Zeke's big fifteen yard 972 00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:28,840 Speaker 10: scame for you having the broken play deuce averaged a 973 00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:32,440 Speaker 10: full yard more for touch than Zeke did. So I'm 974 00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:35,879 Speaker 10: considering putting down Zeke if I elevate Cook, but I'm 975 00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:37,160 Speaker 10: not doing that just yet. I don't think you can 976 00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:39,040 Speaker 10: really judge much based off of the Saints game with 977 00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:41,799 Speaker 10: the negative script and everything that went wrong in that game. 978 00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:43,759 Speaker 10: I'm giving it another week before I do anything like that. 979 00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:45,360 Speaker 3: Okay, Well, I like it, Dylan. 980 00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:49,520 Speaker 4: That's a phenomenal take, I think Dylan Dylan does because 981 00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:53,000 Speaker 4: it does it plays a factor with special teams, and 982 00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:54,880 Speaker 4: that was one of the things that I think Isaiah 983 00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:56,640 Speaker 4: has talked about it on the show before. But if 984 00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:59,959 Speaker 4: you're making a move and running back with Dalvin Cook 985 00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:03,040 Speaker 4: and bringing him in and you're going to elevate him. 986 00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:06,760 Speaker 4: He's not playing Special Teams, but neither is Ezekiel Elliott. 987 00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:09,719 Speaker 4: So if you are having one in the same in 988 00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:12,959 Speaker 4: terms of production one way or the other, then why not. Yeah, 989 00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:17,480 Speaker 4: we'll reactivate. Yeah, Rico's not doing it either, you can. 990 00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:19,200 Speaker 4: That's That's kind of my. 991 00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:21,840 Speaker 5: Point, is it, Ezekiel Elliott? 992 00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:26,120 Speaker 6: So I mean, I have a and we were talking 993 00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:28,880 Speaker 6: about this before the show started a little bit of 994 00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:33,200 Speaker 6: solution to this because I don't believe in deactivating duce 995 00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:34,239 Speaker 6: von I'm with Dylan there. 996 00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:37,080 Speaker 1: I don't believe that's the solution whatsoever. I don't either. 997 00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:40,280 Speaker 6: I think earn that right now. I think a solution 998 00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:43,279 Speaker 6: is to increase the value of duce Vaughan. And this 999 00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:44,640 Speaker 6: is how you do it. You add him to the 1000 00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:48,560 Speaker 6: special teams mix. One Thomas has definitely been solid as 1001 00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:51,640 Speaker 6: far as returning uh the return game. But I would 1002 00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:54,200 Speaker 6: like to see one Ye Thomas take the reps or 1003 00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:56,719 Speaker 6: they I would like to see them Bones and Mike 1004 00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:59,360 Speaker 6: Zimmer take the reps out of one YEA Thomas his 1005 00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:02,440 Speaker 6: special team bucket and put them in the defensive bucket. 1006 00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:06,040 Speaker 6: Get him rotating in more often on the defense. Kind 1007 00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:08,239 Speaker 6: of help on that back And now who do you 1008 00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:11,640 Speaker 6: put back there with Juan Ye Thomas, I say Duce Vaughan, right, 1009 00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:13,920 Speaker 6: either ric o'dowdle or duce Von. But let's say duce 1010 00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:16,840 Speaker 6: Von because what you're finding is teams are kicking away 1011 00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:19,680 Speaker 6: from Cavante Turpin and wisely so because I would do 1012 00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:22,080 Speaker 6: the same, but they're kicking to a less explosive Juan 1013 00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:24,600 Speaker 6: Ye Thomas maybe forced them to kick it to between 1014 00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:26,520 Speaker 6: Deuce Vaughan and Rico Dawdle. 1015 00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:29,319 Speaker 1: So I'm with you Dylan on this one. I say, 1016 00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:30,520 Speaker 1: keep Deuce. 1017 00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:32,520 Speaker 6: Going, find a way to get him more involved on 1018 00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:34,800 Speaker 6: the offense, but find a way to get him involved 1019 00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:36,439 Speaker 6: in special teams because he can return the ball. 1020 00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:40,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, and one or the other Zeke or Daubtle, if 1021 00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:42,360 Speaker 4: they end up making a move, it's going to be 1022 00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:45,319 Speaker 4: the way to squarely on their shoulders, I think, because 1023 00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:47,920 Speaker 4: Duce has done a nice job in terms of showing 1024 00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:51,360 Speaker 4: a willingness to block and sure in terms of production 1025 00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:54,279 Speaker 4: yards per carry, receiving out of the backfield, he can 1026 00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:56,719 Speaker 4: do all those different things he just I mean, and 1027 00:45:56,840 --> 00:45:59,520 Speaker 4: he's some power to his again in terms of size, of course, 1028 00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:02,439 Speaker 4: it's a different question. But if you're getting Dalvin Cook 1029 00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:05,480 Speaker 4: and elevating Dalvin Cook, you get some of that size back. 1030 00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:08,960 Speaker 5: And like designed throws to the running backs too, like 1031 00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:11,960 Speaker 5: Zeke has a seventy seven point five receiving grade on 1032 00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:15,440 Speaker 5: Pro Football Focused. I think involving them more in the 1033 00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:18,799 Speaker 5: passing game as well is going to pay huge dividends 1034 00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:21,360 Speaker 5: for them, especially for a guy like Deuce who is shifty. 1035 00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:26,960 Speaker 6: Yeah, and you nat their hands in Saquon Barkley ooh. 1036 00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:27,719 Speaker 3: Throwing some shots at the end of the show. I 1037 00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:30,360 Speaker 3: like it. I like it. We've got our advicey. 1038 00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:34,920 Speaker 4: Cowboys defensive matchup preview tomorrow.

I would much rather at them have been one 1043 00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:47,040 Speaker 3: on one. 1044 00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:47,600 Speaker 1: Uh. 1045 00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:50,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, they're owing to.

How did the Cowboys 1048 00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:58,920 Speaker 4: and especially the defense stop that from happening.
