Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
Speaker 2: Cowboys, Let's go.
Speaker 3: Are you ready for a break?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 2: Are you ready for a break?
Speaker 5: Absolutely?
Speaker 2: Ready for a break?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 5: And so much for that.
Speaker 1: It's time for The Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com.
Speaker 1: Were on with Ambar Garcia, Brian brought us, Patrick Walker
Speaker 1: and Derek Eagleton.
Speaker 7: It is Monday, November twentieth, twenty twenty three, Season nineteen,
Speaker 7: episode number seventy four. Welcome to the latest edition of
Speaker 7: The Break. We are live from the SWBC Mortgage Studios.
Speaker 7: At the start today we talk about Cowboys versus Panthers.
Speaker 7: Cowboys get the win on the road thirty three to ten,
Speaker 7: bring their record to seven and three. We'll break down
Speaker 7: for you what we think went right and wrong for
Speaker 7: the Cowboys. There were a few things that are worth
Speaker 7: talking about that weren't great for the Cowboys yesterday, but
Speaker 7: all things being considered, another very very quality win on
Speaker 7: the road against a lesser opponent. Let's start first the
Speaker 7: storylines of the game. Let's go around the table. What
Speaker 7: do we have, Patrick lestar.
Speaker 5: You when are we going to start putting deron? Blan
Speaker 5: in this Defensive Player of the Year conversation, He's there.
Speaker 5: It needs to be. It needs to happen today, if
Speaker 5: not last week. I mean, four pick sixes tied the record.
Speaker 5: He's won away from breaking the single season record for
Speaker 5: most pick sixes in the year, and there's still seven
Speaker 5: regular season games to play. He's been lights out both
Speaker 5: with the like we talked about the flashy categories interceptions,
Speaker 5: pick sixes, but also with the quiet categories with like
Speaker 5: negative target EPA. Leads the league in it right now,
Speaker 5: second lowest in the history of mgs, only to guess
Speaker 5: who Stefan Gilmore twenty nineteen, which was the DPO t
Speaker 5: y year for Gilmore. Hint hints, So Deron Bland. We
Speaker 5: had the conversation about if he's the second most important
Speaker 5: guy on this Cowboys defense, and we said yes, and
Speaker 5: he goes out and he just continues to prove us right.
Speaker 5: So for me, that's the biggest takeaway. There are others,
Speaker 5: and I know we'll talk about it offensive line, run game,
Speaker 5: Tony Pollock, but Dron Bland. When you look at the
Speaker 5: front runners and obviously on favorites to win Defensive Player
Speaker 5: of the Year, all of them are pass rushers, and
Speaker 5: that's because no defensive back is doing anything near what
Speaker 5: dron Bland is doing, which is that much more of
Speaker 5: an argument to put him in the conversation. So I
Speaker 5: don't know that he wins because of who he's up against,
Speaker 5: the big hitters, TJ. Watt, names like that, Miles Garrett,
Speaker 5: nick Bosa. But start giving this man his roses. He's
Speaker 5: earning them.
Speaker 8: Mine would be do not ingest anything weird prior to.
Speaker 9: Don't try anything, Do not try anything different or weird.
Speaker 7: What we did on the show Friday, that's probably not
Speaker 7: a good idea of going into a game.
Speaker 8: Probably not, probably not.
Speaker 9: But Michael Parsons, he basically tried some energy drink that
Speaker 9: everybody else was trying or they've had before. This was
Speaker 9: his first time having it. He had a scoop of
Speaker 9: it and then didn't go down well. His stomach was
Speaker 9: bubbling or something. It was hurting, so yeah, the heart
Speaker 9: to heart. But then he ended up throwing up twice,
Speaker 9: I believe on the sideline or somewhere on the field,
Speaker 9: and after that he started feeling better. But he said,
Speaker 9: going into the first throw up, yeah.
Speaker 2: You can rally sometimes.
Speaker 5: Nice.
Speaker 2: You never heard that you never saw the movie. Am
Speaker 2: I drawing a blake on the movie? It was a
Speaker 2: football movie? No, no, no, it sounds like something that
Speaker 2: will be from the program. No it was.
Speaker 7: It was one of the one of those older football movies.
Speaker 7: But you can see the face of the guy, Billy
Speaker 7: Bob was his name. You can rally ahead.
Speaker 2: No, it was after that it was gosh, why am
Speaker 2: I drawing somebody on? Somebody on Twitter is gonna but yeah,
Speaker 2: go ahead, puking row.
Speaker 8: So he did.
Speaker 9: He puked, and then he rallied up and went into
Speaker 9: that game and had the most sacks he's had this
Speaker 9: season Varsity Varsity Blues, two point five sacks. And yes,
Speaker 9: he was saying when he started the game, his heart
Speaker 9: was absolutely racing. So you know that if you've never
Speaker 9: had energy drink, that can happen to you or caffeine.
Speaker 8: Was your heart racing when you had that caffeine shot.
Speaker 3: I didn't feel good for a little bit. That coffee, Yeah,
Speaker 3: that coffee.
Speaker 2: That was your first coffee in your life, right.
Speaker 3: Ever, first coffee ever. And I walked out of here
Speaker 3: and I'm like, I'm never doing this again.
Speaker 9: Well, he ended up having a great day yesterday and
Speaker 9: but really I wanted to point out and I don't
Speaker 9: want to mention two things. But my thing was, you
Speaker 9: know I've been talking about all week or last week,
Speaker 9: was the running game and seeing Tony Pollor show some
Speaker 9: signs of improvement. You saw him getting into that end zone.
Speaker 9: How hard was that run? That was really really good
Speaker 9: And he averaged five point one yards per carry, so
Speaker 9: that was or not per carry?
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, per carry.
Speaker 9: Per carry, still waking up, but yeah, five for and
Speaker 9: watch which was I believe I haven't.
Speaker 5: Some pre working No there it is.
Speaker 8: You do know one glass amber today.
Speaker 9: No, But anyways, it was great seeing some improvement there
Speaker 9: and the way he was playing. And he said after
Speaker 9: the game, he was basically saying he kind of just
Speaker 9: starting to feel a lot more comfortable just in the
Speaker 9: offense and some of the things they're doing right now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he did run the ball with other than that
Speaker 3: negative ten yards they had on that wildcat formation, it
Speaker 3: was a positive day for him. The receivers did a
Speaker 3: really nice job of blocking form down field too when
Speaker 3: they got him on the edge, and you know, guys
Speaker 3: were able to the line in the stuff that the
Speaker 3: crack tosses, the pinn and polls, all those things that
Speaker 3: they do pretty well. They showed it yesterday. I want
Speaker 3: to say that they I think when you watch them
Speaker 3: play on defense, there was a lot of unselfish play
Speaker 3: on that defensive line to get guys home on some sacks.
Speaker 3: You know, guys, they knew that they could attack Bozeman
Speaker 3: the center and he was going to have problems, and
Speaker 3: so you have you know, you had guys that were
Speaker 3: willing to drive down inside hard defensive tackles get loopers home.
Speaker 3: There were a couple of times where they knocked Bozeman
Speaker 3: so far inside on the on the pick that they
Speaker 3: were right there like Tank was for sacks, Armstrong, Lawrence,
Speaker 3: all those guys had a really did a really nice
Speaker 3: job of helping each other get pressure on this defensive line.
Speaker 3: They had a couple of sacks with these flat ran
Speaker 3: passes of all of the guards. So give dan Quinn
Speaker 3: credit again for setting things up inside to get guys home.
Speaker 3: Give credit to the defensive line for working with each
Speaker 3: other and making it work, and then give some guys
Speaker 3: some credit for individual one on one pressures that they
Speaker 3: were able to get in that game. It really did
Speaker 3: rattle that quarterback quite a bit.
Speaker 7: All right, let's dive into some specific players and how
Speaker 7: they performed. Dak Prescott yesterday twenty five eight sixty eight
Speaker 7: percent completion rate, one hundred and eighty nine yards, two
Speaker 7: touchdowns for a thirty three point score. Didn't really have
Speaker 7: huge numbers, like he didn't put it up the weeks before,
Speaker 7: but certainly was efficient in what he needed to do.
Speaker 2: How did you assess Dak's play yesterday?
Speaker 5: I liked it didn't turn the ball over. There were
Speaker 5: a couple of plays, a couple of throws that he'd
Speaker 5: like back. There's one in particular in the end zone
Speaker 5: that could have been an interception, but it wasn't, so
Speaker 5: it's not. But for the most part, he didn't try
Speaker 5: to do too much. And we talked about this going
Speaker 5: into the game. This Panther's defense, their secondary particularly, they're
Speaker 5: pretty good. You know, they were sixth rank in the
Speaker 5: NFL for a reason, and as a unit they can
Speaker 5: really make things challenging for you. So Dak Prescott, he
Speaker 5: didn't press. Some of those throws were great. He dissected
Speaker 5: their man coverage and absolutely killed their zone coverage. One
Speaker 5: in particular, if you look at the play to Jake Ferguson,
Speaker 5: and then also kudos to Mike McCarthy because some of
Speaker 5: the play calls he dialed up, not the Wildcats, because
Speaker 5: let's put those away please.
Speaker 2: We'll talk about I think we'll talk about that that.
Speaker 5: If you look at the Schoolmaker play, for example, the
Speaker 5: Schoolmaker touchdown, you motion Jake Ferguson over to the tight
Speaker 5: right side of Schoolmaker and then he does a soft
Speaker 5: wheel and then school goes up the deep scene. Well,
Speaker 5: then that confuses the coverage because no matter which one
Speaker 5: they choose, if you look at that play on film,
Speaker 5: it's a touchdown either way. But Dak Prescott reads exactly
Speaker 5: where and he doesn't hesitate. There's no pump fake that
Speaker 5: it's spam there. It is so efficient, timely and had
Speaker 5: control of it the offense the entirety of the game,
Speaker 5: even to when the offense kind of stalled on some
Speaker 5: of those three and out series, you never felt like
Speaker 5: Dak Prescott in the offense was out of the game.
Speaker 3: Kind of felt like though this was one of those
Speaker 3: games of surprise, how many contested balls they had to
Speaker 3: try and catch in this game, and so it was
Speaker 3: a little bit tougher for Patrick has mentioned some of
Speaker 3: the combination routes. They tried to get Lamb up the
Speaker 3: sideline one time, which would have been a pretty nice play.
Speaker 3: They're doing something I love when they do this with
Speaker 3: when they take Lamb or any of the receivers and
Speaker 3: they put them in motion and it gives them a
Speaker 3: running start. They don't let these corners or safeties have
Speaker 3: an ability to play and when they're static or just
Speaker 3: in one spot, so by them running, it gives them
Speaker 3: an opportunity to get going up the field. Though, you know,
Speaker 3: they I love the combinations of those routes. But I
Speaker 3: got to give Carolina a little bit credit for playing
Speaker 3: the way they did in the secondary. You know, the
Speaker 3: way they were able to knock down balls. There was
Speaker 3: a couple of different times these officials, this Clay Martin group,
Speaker 3: they were the least penalizing group of all the officials
Speaker 3: in the league. Or a couple of times are felt
Speaker 3: like that Hill had receivers hooked and then he was
Speaker 3: able to play offhand knocking the ball, but they didn't
Speaker 3: call it, so okay, you keep playing that way. So
Speaker 3: it was a challenging day that way. But their ability
Speaker 3: to run the football, their ability to make some third
Speaker 3: down plays when they really needed to make some third
Speaker 3: down plays or what really helped them offensively in this game.
Speaker 3: It wasn't huge numbered by any means, but I think
Speaker 3: Carolina's secondary had a little to do with that.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I thought he had a very clean game blowing
Speaker 9: didn't blow up the stats or anything like that. But again,
Speaker 9: another week of him showing that he can be consistent
Speaker 9: and just keep doing what he needs to do. So
Speaker 9: that has been what five weeks now, where he's just
Speaker 9: been week.
Speaker 5: To week, just been ever since ever since.
Speaker 9: Yeah, so that's impressive and dark Hater's been very quiet
Speaker 9: right now the past few weeks. So anyways, he done
Speaker 9: a great job. We also learned that he can line
Speaker 9: up a receiver. Uh, that play didn't lead to absolutely anything.
Speaker 8: Zero gain, but what's interesting to see. I would have
Speaker 8: liked to see what exactly how.
Speaker 9: It would have looked if it would have gone through,
Speaker 9: but it didn't work out.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I noticed Brian's same thing you noticed, and I'd
Speaker 7: mentioned it to Nick during the game. Like, there were
Speaker 7: a lot of plays yesterday where there was no separation
Speaker 7: and it's to me it was about the cornerbacks, the
Speaker 7: defensive backs for that team. They are not a good team,
Speaker 7: but that part of their team is really good. I
Speaker 7: don't know that I've seen a team that the Cowboys
Speaker 7: have played these this year that was that tight on
Speaker 7: these receivers in man covers, and what the Cowboys had
Speaker 7: to do in a lot of situations was they'd have
Speaker 7: to run these route combinations. It was one deeper pass
Speaker 7: they got I don't remember how many yards. It was
Speaker 7: a scissor route combination where basically they won one receiver,
Speaker 7: the receiver's crossed the one receiver took a defensive back
Speaker 7: and kind of bumped into him and it was kind
Speaker 7: of a rub route and got somebody open. Then when
Speaker 7: they did that against man covers, they were able to
Speaker 7: get some success. But just manning up and going against
Speaker 7: those guys, that was a tough, tough day.
Speaker 3: I think San Francisco was probably a team that remember
Speaker 3: how much man coverage in that game, so that there
Speaker 3: was a lot of contested catches in that game. And
Speaker 3: I kind of felt like watching that game yesterday that
Speaker 3: CD might have got banged up a little bit, you
Speaker 3: know in that game early in that game, the route
Speaker 3: that he caught it, when you go back and watch it,
Speaker 3: he catches the drag underneath for about ten yards and
Speaker 3: he avoids the he avoids the linebacker in the middle
Speaker 3: of the field and he kind of gets knocked off
Speaker 3: balance and then turns it up the field. And it
Speaker 3: was the same play that they dump Turping. So Turpin
Speaker 3: like knees him in the back as he's laying on
Speaker 3: the ground. But I think there might be something with
Speaker 3: something he was dealing with in that game yesterday because
Speaker 3: it kind of awkwardly got knocked off balance and maybe
Speaker 3: something with his left knee that he's dealing with. Need
Speaker 3: to check with that a little bit if he's completely healthy.
Speaker 3: But it was a little bit of a struggle for
Speaker 3: those guys yesterday.
Speaker 7: Yeah, kind of amazing then, and when I when I
Speaker 7: looked back at the score and the and then the
Speaker 7: stat sheet that they didn't have as much offensive production
Speaker 7: but scored thirty three points. I know one of them
Speaker 7: was a pick six, but still that's still a healthy score.
Speaker 3: You know, when really helped you with the undisciplined, the roughing.
Speaker 3: The rough Yeah, the roughing, you know, I mean you
Speaker 3: get yeah, you get the horse collar, you get the roughing.
Speaker 3: You know, you kick out a bound kick out of
Speaker 3: bounce back, gets hitting the head, you know. I mean,
Speaker 3: there's all kinds of things that they were dealing with yesterday.
Speaker 5: And I just feel like and it kind of buried itself out.
Speaker 5: Will We talked about though they were one and eight
Speaker 5: coming into this game, that record didn't feel like it
Speaker 5: matched when you talk about the secondary, how good they are,
Speaker 5: and then you look at what Tuber Hubbard was able
Speaker 5: to do, when Miles Sanders was able to, you know,
Speaker 5: get some chunk plays as well, which was the guy
Speaker 5: I wanted to focus on last this coming week. But
Speaker 5: the run game, I mean, Carolina, they fought hard. Their
Speaker 5: biggest mistake was well, number one penalties. Right that particular drive,
Speaker 5: you got two unsportsman like penalties rough, you know, and
Speaker 5: then it's a touchdown, but undisciplined. But also they could
Speaker 5: not protect Bryce, which we knew going in, and then
Speaker 5: Bryce did exactly what we said he'd do, which was
Speaker 5: he didn't want to escape the pocket. He sat in
Speaker 5: the collapsing pocket time and again and just became a
Speaker 5: tackling dummy and that basically killed them. So but the
Speaker 5: secondary played well, the running backs played well, but by
Speaker 5: the time the Cowboys started pulling away. You can't run
Speaker 5: the ball anymore. You have to be one dimensional. Plays
Speaker 5: right into their ends.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the biggest thing that they did maybe
Speaker 3: coming out of the second half was even tried to
Speaker 3: throw the ball on the on our halftime show, I
Speaker 3: Carolina to me was going to lose that game. I
Speaker 3: just felt like they were going to lose that game.
Speaker 3: But I also felt like that they could have kept
Speaker 3: it close to the entire game. I know, in my
Speaker 3: notes and I typed out these my words, you know,
Speaker 3: and I used to describe Carolina's big plays running the football.
Speaker 3: I used late, driven, sealed, angle, hooked, washed, hesitation, guesses, missed,
Speaker 3: and pancaked. Those are all bad words when you're playing
Speaker 3: run defense and through and I just went through and
Speaker 3: there was some positive run plays, some positive run defense.
Speaker 3: But you give up a game of thirteen, again of seven,
Speaker 3: a gain of fifteen, again of nine, a gain of fourteen,
Speaker 3: a gain of five, you know, again, another gain of fourteen,
Speaker 3: another gain of eight. It's not very good run defense,
Speaker 3: right now, you know. And I think that Carolina, you know,
Speaker 3: in that game, I don't think they were gonna win.
Speaker 3: None of us thought they were gonna win. But they
Speaker 3: probably could have kept that game and control and maybe
Speaker 3: giving their quarterback a little bit of a chance if
Speaker 3: they would have continued on trying to run that football.
Speaker 9: Well right before the Cowboys scoring, or when the Cowboys
Speaker 9: before oh my god, I can't even speak right before
Speaker 9: they score, going into the halftime. Going into halftime, I
Speaker 9: was kind of raising my eyebrows a little bit. I'm like,
Speaker 9: by this time I thought we would be having Cooper
Speaker 9: rush in and taking over. You know, it just didn't
Speaker 9: feel like the Cowboys completely dominated them, and at times
Speaker 9: it made me wonder, I'm in.
Speaker 8: This does not feel like they're.
Speaker 9: One and eight, like like you're playing a team.
Speaker 8: With that kind of record.
Speaker 9: They were doing some things and it was making me wonder, Okay,
Speaker 9: are there Cowboys doing that thing that they tend to
Speaker 9: do sometimes where they just level up with their opponent
Speaker 9: they play at their opponent's level, or are the Panthers
Speaker 9: really doing some things that they're just doing well in
Speaker 9: this game?
Speaker 8: And I couldn't.
Speaker 9: You know, obviously that changed after the halftime and the
Speaker 9: Cowboys took over that game and everything, but it just
Speaker 9: it was makeing.
Speaker 8: I couldn't really make of it.
Speaker 9: And remember This was while we were still dealing with
Speaker 9: Jimmy Johnson News and us having to upload things on
Speaker 9: the website, and you're kind of looking up and down
Speaker 9: and trying to keep up with the game, and it's
Speaker 9: just one of those like what what is going on here?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 7: But you know, I think that this is this is
Speaker 7: what I always worry about for the Cowboys when they're
Speaker 7: playing a lesser opponent, especially a lesser offense, is will
Speaker 7: they be coming aamored with going after the quarterback and
Speaker 7: they will forget to play sound run defense because defense
Speaker 7: run defense, to me, is all about discipline. It's about
Speaker 7: every person on that defense understanding where they should fit
Speaker 7: and consistently being in that spot right. And if you
Speaker 7: don't do that, if you take a little side step,
Speaker 7: or if you try to go around someone because you're
Speaker 7: trying to get to the passer, it throws everything off
Speaker 7: and all it takes is one person doing it and
Speaker 7: you get gashed in the running game.
Speaker 2: And it was we talked about it last week.
Speaker 7: That's something that we're a little concerned about, knowing you
Speaker 7: going against a team like this, and I think yesterday
Speaker 7: we saw a little bit of that where just they
Speaker 7: were undisciplined. They didn't play the style of run defense
Speaker 7: that they had been playing against some of the better
Speaker 7: teams they faced.
Speaker 3: I didn't feel like that there were two things that
Speaker 3: they didn't handle very well. Was Carolina's run game overall.
Speaker 3: And then and then Adam Thielen. I didn't feel like
Speaker 3: they had a really good answer for him. And and
Speaker 3: you know it's it's you know, Adam Feeling's going to
Speaker 3: make plays, you know, but man, it could have turned
Speaker 3: into and I think that greg Olsen said it very
Speaker 3: well just watching the broadcast. He's like, you know, when
Speaker 3: Carolina had that drive where they scored, you know, their touchdown,
Speaker 3: that's where greg Olsen said, this is what Carolina needs
Speaker 3: to do. They need to do the waggles, the boots.
Speaker 3: They need to get the ball to Feeling, and they
Speaker 3: need to run the ball. They don't need to think
Speaker 3: about anything else right now. They need to try and
Speaker 3: help their quarterback. And you know, unfortunately you played against
Speaker 3: the quarterback, as Patrick said, it wasn't interested in running.
Speaker 3: The one time he did run, he did some ridiculous
Speaker 3: fake thing with the ball comes flying out of his hand,
Speaker 3: you know, and now you get a turnover, right there,
Speaker 3: but you know that was that was That was a
Speaker 3: tough game for on a couple of different levels. But
Speaker 3: again having to deal with the run. It kind of
Speaker 3: reminded you when you're not disciplined, when you jump gaps,
Speaker 3: when you try and run around blockers, when you don't
Speaker 3: play square, you know you're gonna get dashed. And there
Speaker 3: are gonna be some better teams down the road that
Speaker 3: they're gonna probably try and run the ball on you.
Speaker 5: And speaking to the discipline aspect of it, one of
Speaker 5: the main things Mike McCarthy talked about going into this game.
Speaker 5: The Cowboys are two and three on the road. He said,
Speaker 5: you got to get the penalties reeled in. You got
Speaker 5: to get them real in. That I think was the
Speaker 5: sixth Panther Strive is how I didn't have it noted here.
Speaker 5: You start off you fourth and two, right, Well, first
Speaker 5: of all, you get the penalty. It's holding on the punt.
Speaker 5: They said it was on Carolina. They changed it to
Speaker 5: the Cowboys. That put the Carolina on a thirty yard line.
Speaker 5: You're helping them with field position. Then you get a
Speaker 5: Sam Williams penalty, you get them off the field. They're
Speaker 5: punting on fourth and two, you run into the kicker
Speaker 5: automatic first down, and from there Bryce started to kind
Speaker 5: of get going with Adam Thielen and then it turns
Speaker 5: into a seventeen play touchdown drive. And it all began
Speaker 5: with a penalty, and then that drive was extended by
Speaker 5: a penalty. So if you don't if you don't suffer
Speaker 5: those penalties, if you're the Cowboys, you probably end up
Speaker 5: getting a forty plus point game out of this because
Speaker 5: you're gonna get good field position off of that punt
Speaker 5: and kind of move down. So that was a momentum shifter.
Speaker 5: So that's a lesson to be taken away from the
Speaker 5: Cowboys on the road when Mike McCarthy's talking about doing
Speaker 5: it well with these penalties or minimizing them. This is why.
Speaker 5: It's because it gives teams, particularly the other home team,
Speaker 5: at some kind of momentum to say, hey, we can
Speaker 5: do this. Stop giving them fifteen yards, ten yards, five yards.
Speaker 5: When it's time to get off the field. Your defense
Speaker 5: has earned it. Let them get off the field before
Speaker 5: they get tired. I like it.
Speaker 9: I was just gonna say, I thought at that point
Speaker 9: the level the game was kind of it just cancel
Speaker 9: or balance itself out because I think I believe when
Speaker 9: the Cowboys got the rough end of passer where they
Speaker 9: hit Dag got back to coffee, I thought that was
Speaker 9: a back call, like why.
Speaker 5: No head, you can't hit? You can't quarterback given up
Speaker 5: and he came in with them to the head. That's
Speaker 5: that's textbook.
Speaker 9: I see the forearm hit it. But either way that
Speaker 9: that looked very close. Like you get out of the podcast,
Speaker 9: you're now a runner. You're running, and then while the
Speaker 9: guy is already diving in, how are you supposed to stop?
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter really, quarterback.
Speaker 8: I don't think it's fair.
Speaker 2: I don't you join the but that's the join the course.
Speaker 2: All the other people say that's the same thing.
Speaker 7: But the rules are and they I think the NFL
Speaker 7: knows that it's unfair defensive players. But that's how badly
Speaker 7: they want this out of the game because they don't
Speaker 7: want a quarterback taking a shot to the head in
Speaker 7: that kind of position. And it is unfair because if
Speaker 7: you watch what the quarterbacks do, the smart quarterbacks anyway,
Speaker 7: what they do is they run, they run, they run,
Speaker 7: and they will actually give you that look like oh
Speaker 7: am I gonna slide and it makes a defensive guy
Speaker 7: kind of step for a second. If the defensive guy
Speaker 7: doesn't commit, they're probably gonna keep run. Now if they
Speaker 7: do commit, then they'll go down and now they get
Speaker 7: hit right, so it's like it's a no win for
Speaker 7: the defensive guy if the quarterback plays.
Speaker 2: It was the right way.
Speaker 3: The one that that's the worst to me is a
Speaker 3: quarterback along the sidelines that runs and looks like he's
Speaker 3: going out of bounce and then goes another eight yards
Speaker 3: steps back, you know, and then kind of like you're
Speaker 3: gonna you could blast him out of bounce, or you
Speaker 3: could just pull up and let him go out of bounce.
Speaker 3: But some of these quarterbacks are like, I'm gonna run
Speaker 3: and I'm gonna be along the sideline and I know
Speaker 3: you're not gonna blast me here, so I'll run for
Speaker 3: another eight yards and then I'll get out of bounce.
Speaker 3: You know. Those are the guys that are like giving up,
Speaker 3: but they're really not given up.
Speaker 2: The quarterback has every advantage in this situation.
Speaker 9: There's no It's very frustrating, but I think they the
Speaker 9: Cowboys were able to get into the end zone eventually
Speaker 9: because of the help of that penalty.
Speaker 3: Well, then the push on on Turp and was stupid.
Speaker 3: That's only stupid because.
Speaker 5: He had nothing to do with He's about to help
Speaker 5: his guy out and then he comes to get gets
Speaker 5: push in the back. So I mean, no, they earned
Speaker 5: those those poor penalties. And then kudos to the Cowboys
Speaker 5: for after the Panthers make it a one school game
Speaker 5: with that seventeen play draft what do you do? March
Speaker 5: down the field and then you see Tony Pollard look
Speaker 5: very much like a twenty twenty two Tony poll on the.
Speaker 2: Play that was That was his best running year in
Speaker 2: my opinion.
Speaker 5: Shouts out the Hunter lip Ky on that lead block.
Speaker 7: By the way, Hey, you know what, and I've been
Speaker 7: wanting to say Hunter Lipkey hadn't been a great blocking
Speaker 7: full back like earlier in the season, Brian, I know
Speaker 7: you and I had that conversation. Like you watch him
Speaker 7: on film, It's like, man, I don't know. Yesterday he
Speaker 7: had some moments where I was like, Okay, the blocking
Speaker 7: is starting to come along there.
Speaker 3: He got run over on the yeah, the touchdown run.
Speaker 3: But you know what the idea is, make the guy
Speaker 3: ender go over the top of you to get to
Speaker 3: the ball. You go and if they run over, you
Speaker 3: do that. You're doing your That's okay.
Speaker 2: You just want to occupy him. However, you got to
Speaker 2: do it. All right, We're gonna take our first break
Speaker 2: when we come back. I do want to talk a
Speaker 2: little bit about the wildcat.
Speaker 7: We saw that a couple of times yesterday, and uh yeah,
Speaker 7: so we'll talk about that.
Speaker 2: We'll be back Dallas. Cowboys dot Comrado.
Speaker 10: Todd thought it would be secure to jog and the
Speaker 10: cheat of Savannah Todd. I believe the big cat repellent

Speaker 10: to be faster than this cheetah that can run eighty
Speaker 10: miles per hour. But the good news is Todd has
Speaker 10: AT and T five G. It is fast, reliable, and secure,
Speaker 10: and he learned the best thing to do is stop
Speaker 10: running and toss her the backpack with the beef stew
Speaker 10: at and T five G. Fast, reliable, secure, It's not complicated.

Speaker 9: gonna be for sale.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so Christmas time we could all have a dollar hey,
Speaker 3: you know something, and maybe maybe we all on this
Speaker 3: show will be walking. Well, there was a time where
Speaker 3: we were like the throwbacks, like the Roger Staubach Bob wear. Yeah,
Speaker 3: we still have those shirts. I would you know, the
Speaker 3: Dolly purtn Tree, I'd love one.
Speaker 7: Okay, all right, so we know now Brian wants one
Speaker 7: amber make it happen, all right, all right, so let's
Speaker 7: talk about Let's talk.
Speaker 3: About the boss. Move right there, Let's talk about the bo.
Speaker 7: I'm sorry, let's talk about let's talk about the Wildcat. Yesterday,
Speaker 7: A couple of times we saw, uh, we saw Dallas
Speaker 7: lineup with Dac out it receiver and they had the
Speaker 7: guys at the running backs in the backfield direct snap
Speaker 7: neither word, what did you think of the conce of
Speaker 7: what they were.
Speaker 5: Trying to do.
Speaker 3: It's one of those It's one of those things that
Speaker 3: reminds me what coaches will do every once in a while,
Speaker 3: but it's a nationally televised kind of game, they'll throw
Speaker 3: in some wrinkles or something that like, oh look how
Speaker 3: smart I am, you know, those kind of things. There's
Speaker 3: no reason. That just wasn't any reason at that point.
Speaker 3: I mean, you're you're you know, if you want to
Speaker 3: try it, if you feel like, was there something that
Speaker 3: led you to believe that Carolina against Wildcat was going
Speaker 3: to be they were going to give up big plays
Speaker 3: or something like that. I don't know, I mean it
Speaker 3: just I just I never understand. I like I like plays,
Speaker 3: I like gadget plays. I hate plays that are cute.
Speaker 3: I hate cute plays, you know, And and that to
Speaker 3: me seems very cute when you try and do stuff
Speaker 3: like that. But uh yeah, unfortunately it didn't work, and
Speaker 3: hopefully they will never use those plays again.
Speaker 7: You know what's interesting. I thought they were trying to
Speaker 7: set up something they did did well with the whole
Speaker 7: the coming back around and the fake pitch. Yeah, and
Speaker 7: my guess is, but Brian burns, But my point is,
Speaker 7: you gotta make them work. Like nobody's falling for any
Speaker 7: of the extra stuff that comes from a play if
Speaker 7: you can't get it to work in.
Speaker 2: The first place.
Speaker 7: And but it was apparent they're trying. They were trying
Speaker 7: to set up something for the future, even not for
Speaker 7: that game. If somewhere down the line, they were trying
Speaker 7: to set up something where it's maybe a pitch and
Speaker 7: then maybe a pitching pass, who knows.
Speaker 3: I kind of feel like that if anybody on this
Speaker 3: staff needs to run fake plays, its bones fossil is
Speaker 3: he comes up with some stuff that you're.
Speaker 2: Kind of seeing a lot of that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we've not seen a lot of that, Okay, we
Speaker 3: got his four sattle. Yeah right, but we gotta we
Speaker 3: got a nationally televised game coming over. The whole world's
Speaker 3: going to be watching. Bones Fossil is going to have
Speaker 3: a I wish he would have saved his his Golston
Speaker 3: fake field goal though, No, I wish he would have
Speaker 3: saved that one. He used that one I think too
Speaker 3: early in the season. Yeah, you know that throwing the
Speaker 3: ball to Golston there, But I don't know, I think
Speaker 3: that to me, I love Special Team's fake play, the
Speaker 3: kind of the wildcat stuff and all that. If it's
Speaker 3: short yardage and all that. I get it is they're
Speaker 3: struggling to try and score down in the red zone,
Speaker 3: and you know you're kind of like, Okay, I think
Speaker 3: it's something different here. Don't don't be doing that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I didn't like them.
Speaker 3: You like them when they work, right.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's one of those things where like in basketball,
Speaker 5: you're like, don't shoot that swish, great shot. But yeah,
Speaker 5: it's just that's one of those things. What was kind
Speaker 5: of weird cowboys like the Tony Pollard ten yard loss.
Speaker 5: I mean, you were threatening, you were moving, you were
Speaker 5: only up one score. You know, the thought process is
Speaker 5: get get in the end zone and really start to
Speaker 5: kind of pull away from these guys, and they kind
Speaker 5: of pulled the trickery out, and you wonder if they
Speaker 5: just wanted to see if it would work, and or maybe,
Speaker 5: like you said, they were kind of setting up for
Speaker 5: down the road, and the other teams that are watching
Speaker 5: film when they see it, they think this is what's
Speaker 5: going to be run out of it. But then ha ha,
Speaker 5: I got you, it's gonna run something else. But I mean,
Speaker 5: just looking at the polar play for example, the direct
Speaker 5: snap to Pollard, I mean that play was blown up
Speaker 5: from minute one. Yeah, Lou had him dead the rights
Speaker 5: on the right side, and if you were even remotely
Speaker 5: thinking about handing it back to Dak to run and
Speaker 5: scramble on the left side, it was done on that
Speaker 5: side as well, so there was nowhere to go. Coverage
Speaker 5: was downfield. You only had two guys going downfield anyway. Yeah,
Speaker 5: So I don't know specifically why tried it in that
Speaker 5: situation versus when you're already when you already have a
Speaker 5: two or three possession lead, which would then go more
Speaker 5: to Okay, let's see if this works. So yeah, I'm
Speaker 5: sure you know this won't be the last time we
Speaker 5: see it. But one of the only times I looked
Speaker 5: at the game in real time, it was like, Okay, Mike,
Speaker 5: that that ain't it. That ain't the one. That ain't
Speaker 5: the one. So many other times I looked at the
Speaker 5: game and I was like, ooh, that's the one. But
Speaker 5: those two times I was like.
Speaker 9: That ain't lined up a receiver. I'm like, oh, okay,
Speaker 9: let's see this. And then seconds after, before they even
Speaker 9: snapped the ball, You're like, uh, I don't I don't know,
Speaker 9: I don't really like this. And then they snapped the ball,
Speaker 9: and then you hear the announcer of the press box
Speaker 9: and a zero gain on the play, and you're like,
Speaker 9: then you feel like.
Speaker 8: Your hand in embarrassed. Man, That's how I felt. I
Speaker 8: felt embarrassed.
Speaker 5: The thing you worry about is the way he pushed
Speaker 5: Tony yeah here and then went and tackled him, like
Speaker 5: what are we doing?
Speaker 3: Yeah, you worry about that. Like it when you talk
Speaker 3: about the mesh points and stuff like that too. If
Speaker 3: his say, Pollard gets hit and he's trying to put
Speaker 3: now the ball's flying, you know, flying, you know, on
Speaker 3: the ground, and everybody and now Dak's trying to dive
Speaker 3: on the ball. Your quarterbacks and they're trying to dive
Speaker 3: on the ball, and it's just again it's Mike just
Speaker 3: that's what He's got, a big old play sheet, you know.
Speaker 3: I mean it just he just needs to cross.
Speaker 5: That was very killing ish. I'll put it there. Those
Speaker 5: two Wildcats, they're very situationally speaking. No, I'm saying that.
Speaker 2: Got enough problems over that.
Speaker 3: Take that boys job right, They got.
Speaker 2: Enough problems over there where he is.
Speaker 7: I do want to twist that flipped the defensive side
Speaker 7: of the ball, And I want to take two things
Speaker 7: you guys said, I want to put them together. You
Speaker 7: talked about how you know how well Bland is playing
Speaker 7: right now, and Brian you talked about one of the
Speaker 7: challenges in this game was it he didn't really have
Speaker 7: any answer for Adam Thieling. And I heard a question
Speaker 7: this morning that I thought was really astute question. I
Speaker 7: think it was Bobby that threw it out on Sean
Speaker 7: and this morning one of them threw it out. I
Speaker 7: can't remember which one it was, but it was a
Speaker 7: really good question and they were like, is it time
Speaker 7: for Bland to travel? Because the thing about it typically
Speaker 7: you're like, I don't know if I want to travel
Speaker 7: my guy because can he go into the slot? Well, yeah,
Speaker 7: he can go into the slot. He can play all
Speaker 7: over the field. He is obviously playing at a level
Speaker 7: that's elite.
Speaker 2: Do you put him?
Speaker 7: And especially when you're going up against a team like
Speaker 7: Carolina where there was one receiving threat, there was one,
Speaker 7: and do you neutralize that one receiving threat? Or if
Speaker 7: you're playing a team that has a dominant and some
Speaker 7: other guys, do you neutralize the dominant threat or the
Speaker 7: secondary threat and then double the dominant.
Speaker 2: You can do a lot of things with it.
Speaker 7: My question is is it time for the Cowboys to
Speaker 7: start considering Bland as a cornerback?
Speaker 2: That shit travel?
Speaker 5: I think that's situational to who you're going up against. So,
Speaker 5: for example, you're about to go up against the Washington Commanders.
Speaker 5: You know about Scary Terry, You know about Terry mclall McLaurin.
Speaker 5: You also know his challenges against Treyvon Diggs and some
Speaker 5: of the elite corners in the league. So Terry, he
Speaker 5: can take over a game. But I would consider it
Speaker 5: against mcglorin and the Commanders because there's not that secondary
Speaker 5: threat that's anywhere equal. But then you go up against
Speaker 5: a team like the Seahawks can't really travel because you
Speaker 5: got locked and then you got Metcalf and it's like
Speaker 5: picking poison there. So you're gonna have to ask a
Speaker 5: guy like Stefan to kind of step up on that
Speaker 5: in that role as well. I just think it's situational.
Speaker 5: I don't think you go into any particular week saying
Speaker 5: or I don't think you make the blanket statement is
Speaker 5: what I'm saying and saying going forward to Ron Bland
Speaker 5: needs to travel with whomever their primary is. I think
Speaker 5: to your point, you got to look at who the
Speaker 5: secondary is and go from there. It would be nice
Speaker 5: to see him travel against the Commanders, but when the
Speaker 5: Seahawks come to town, I don't want to see him travel.
Speaker 5: I would it doesn't matter what boundary he's on. He's
Speaker 5: going to have a top shelf receiver on that boundary,
Speaker 5: so just let him cook in that aspect.
Speaker 3: I kind of feel like that I would just every
Speaker 3: once in a while play him in Nickel in the
Speaker 3: slot and no rhyme or reason, just every once in
Speaker 3: a while show people that he could still go in
Speaker 3: their play know, because a lot of teams will put
Speaker 3: their best receiver inside and then the Cowboys do it
Speaker 3: with Ceedee Lamb quite a bit. You know, the routes
Speaker 3: he gets from the slot. I don't think it's a
Speaker 3: travel situation. I just think let him go play slot,
Speaker 3: you know, maybe two or three times a game. You
Speaker 3: just show that that he has the ability, and maybe
Speaker 3: it makes people opponents going forward say, okay, there's a
Speaker 3: possibility if we put our guy in the slot. It's
Speaker 3: just not an automatic, you know. And now it's an
Speaker 3: automatic where okay, we're gonna get We're going to get
Speaker 3: Lewis in the slot. But if you put it in
Speaker 3: people's minds that he will walk out there, walk inside
Speaker 3: and play, then you can't bank on it. It's it's
Speaker 3: something that throws off, you know, the teams. You know,
Speaker 3: when they start to prep and they've looked at tendencies
Speaker 3: and all that, it's like, wait a minute, now you're
Speaker 3: getting outside. You know, you're getting outside bland. But wait,
Speaker 3: now there's fifteen percent of the time he's playing slot
Speaker 3: reps too, And it's just something to throw them off
Speaker 3: that they can't just one percent of the time you're
Speaker 3: gonna get Lewis in the slot. Yeah, you're just trying
Speaker 3: to kill their their metrics a little bit on it.
Speaker 7: Maybe if you do that, how do you feel about
Speaker 7: the fact that now Jordan's gonna be on the boundary.
Speaker 3: I bring in a mccuamu or something like that. I
Speaker 3: just I just every once in a while, I'm gonna
Speaker 3: take Lewis off the field or maybe you know, you know,
Speaker 3: to me it's I would I think it's a good
Speaker 3: chance to maybe get mccuamu or somebody ready, somebody else ready.
Speaker 3: We've learned this. I mean, yeah, the college football season's
Speaker 3: almost over. The pro season still got what seven more weeks, right,
Speaker 3: you're gonna need mccuamu here before this thing's all said
Speaker 3: and done. I just know again, instead of like him
Speaker 3: being he played very well the last few weeks of
Speaker 3: the season, but maybe get him more reps or get
Speaker 3: somebody at corner more reps. And you don't have to
Speaker 3: do it every single time, like I said, but you
Speaker 3: do it maybe two or three times a game to
Speaker 3: kind of throw people off that they can't one with
Speaker 3: certainty say we're getting Lewis retire in the slot. No,
Speaker 3: you're not. They they've walked, they've walked, Uh, you know
Speaker 3: they walked bland in their plan. You know, we can't
Speaker 3: we can't say that with any certainty right there. We
Speaker 3: can't set this up where we might get bland. You
Speaker 3: don't know, they might put bland in there on us
Speaker 3: once they see us go inside like.
Speaker 2: That, especially in critical situation.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think both things that you said can both
Speaker 9: be true at once, and you can do both at
Speaker 9: once where depending on who the opponent is, So you
Speaker 9: change him up and on certain days that he's staying
Speaker 9: still on one side, yeah, you move him to the
Speaker 9: nickel and back and forth. So I think both things
Speaker 9: can be done. And just don't be don't become predictable,
Speaker 9: don't become right like this is what this guy does.
Speaker 9: We know he's great, we know how good he is
Speaker 9: with his hands, interceptions and all of that. Let's figure
Speaker 9: out another game plan could come Just yeah, I'm not
Speaker 9: up to I don't like when things become that you're
Speaker 9: I want to say, I don't want to use the
Speaker 9: word consistent, because consistently usually is.
Speaker 5: You want consistent?
Speaker 8: Do you want consistency?
Speaker 3: Ability's your quarterback to be consistent?
Speaker 9: Absolutely? Absolutely? But change it up and do all kinds
Speaker 9: of things to keep them guessing all the time.
Speaker 3: I think they're going to play some people down the
Speaker 3: down the road, you know, if it's the San Francisco's again,
Speaker 3: or there's you know, Philadelphia for sure, Miami. Yeah, create
Speaker 3: create a little doubt as they prep for that game. Now, Hey,
Speaker 3: if we do this, oh hell, we still might see
Speaker 3: that guy in the slot. They might, they might commit
Speaker 3: to it this game. Just create a little doubt.
Speaker 9: And the thing is with he, he's the football where
Speaker 9: he's so smart that you don't have to worry about
Speaker 9: messing him up, getting confused, getting.
Speaker 7: A better, better nickel guy, better slack guy than on outside.
Speaker 7: And he's played phenomenally on the outside.
Speaker 8: So yeah, I think he can do both. Absolutely.
Speaker 9: I don't think he would throw him off or confuse
Speaker 9: him or anything. I think if anyone could handle that,
Speaker 9: it would be him.
Speaker 2: All right, let's take our final break. Will come back.
Speaker 7: I got some question you got about the NFC is
Speaker 7: getting really interesting, and the matchups that are going to
Speaker 7: be coming up over the next four to five weeks
Speaker 7: with these teams out at the top of the division
Speaker 7: will be very interesting. We'll come back we'll talk about

Speaker 7: at Kansas City, Buffalo, San Francisco, Dallas, Seattle. Check out
Speaker 7: what Detroit has going, Green Bay at New Orleans, at Chicago, Denver, Minnesota, Dallas, Minnesota.
Speaker 2: Started looking at that and one of these doesn't fit
Speaker 2: with the rest of them.
Speaker 7: Who do you think has the best shot at being
Speaker 7: the number one seed when it's all said and done, Well.
Speaker 5: We were talking about it during the break.
Speaker 2: It could be Detroit based upon the scheduling.
Speaker 5: And now, of course, and we say this every week,
Speaker 5: the other team gets paid to so can't overlook anyone because,
Speaker 5: for example, look at the Bears. The Bears, you know
Speaker 5: we're able to get their win yesterday, so I don't
Speaker 5: The Cowboys just need to make sure they handle their
Speaker 5: business effective right now, and they are so far. So
Speaker 5: hopefully they handle it against the Commanders, because here comes
Speaker 5: a Seahawks team that's looking to bounce back next week
Speaker 5: and kind of get gonna run the Eagles. They're going
Speaker 5: up against the gaunt let starting today, massive massive game
Speaker 5: between them and the Chiefs. Go Chiefs. And then from there,
Speaker 5: I mean outside of Minnesota Cowboys, Minnesota like that three
Speaker 5: game sandwich for the Lianes, they have an easier role.
Speaker 5: Let's put it that.
Speaker 3: I would I would add a game to that. The
Speaker 3: Broncos were kind of playing, like at the Bronco Broncos won.
Speaker 5: I mean, now was it four straight? Five straight?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: They were one and five.
Speaker 3: Now yeah at Denver's Detroit's got that game at home.
Speaker 3: But after it's Green Bay, Thanksgiving, New Orleans, Chicago. Okay,
Speaker 3: those are those should be you should be okay there.
Speaker 3: Now it goes Denver, Minnesota, Dallas, Minnesota. Like you guys
Speaker 3: were talking about those two Minnesota games. Minnesota is kind
Speaker 3: of figuring something out too. I know they had the
Speaker 3: loss to Denver last night, but if they're playing, if
Speaker 3: they're playing for a playoff spot and position, that could
Speaker 3: be a pretty tough game.
Speaker 2: And they maybe getting Justin Jefferson back then boon form.
Speaker 7: Man.
Speaker 3: I just I think you have to add Denver to
Speaker 3: the four to the you know, you add the three games,
Speaker 3: but the fact that they play Minnesota and Dallas and
Speaker 3: the Minnesota again, I that could be that could be
Speaker 3: something to a sneaky, h tough little run for the
Speaker 3: for the Lions there.
Speaker 8: Looking at the Cowboys schedule. When you say, you know,
Speaker 8: worry about your own business.
Speaker 9: And it's gonna be it's it's a yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 9: that's gonna be rough. But let me ask you guys
Speaker 9: this question.
Speaker 3: I wanted Buffalo to quit. I wanted wanted to talk. Yeah,
Speaker 3: they were, they were about ready to quit, their firing coaches.
Speaker 3: Their guy continues to turn the ball over, and all
Speaker 3: of a sudden, the Jets show up and say, oh, hey,
Speaker 3: by the way, I feel feel good about yourselves now
Speaker 3: right now?
Speaker 2: Yeah, so let's put you right back in the race.
Speaker 3: You're good. I'll go get them. I was, you know,
Speaker 3: Miami struggling beating good teams. I mean that's something that
Speaker 3: you know, you know, you just never know about these season. Miami, though,
Speaker 3: scares me to death though, with the explosive they.
Speaker 5: Have, I think, and when you talk about the top
Speaker 5: NFC teams like the forty nine Ers, uh and the
Speaker 5: Eagles for example, now on this part of the season
Speaker 5: where we're hitting the war of attrition because Dallas Goddard
Speaker 5: is not going to play tonight for the Eagles, n
Speaker 5: Kobe Dean is down. And then flip over to the
Speaker 5: forty nine Ers and they suspect that Hufanga might have
Speaker 5: took for the town a cl one of the best
Speaker 5: defensive backs, arguably the best defensive back they have. So uh,
Speaker 5: the top NFC teams, they're starting to hit at versity.
Speaker 5: The Cowboys had already hit their adversity. They had They've
Speaker 5: long lost trevel On and figured it out with deroyn Bland,
Speaker 5: They've long lost le Evanderish and figured it out with
Speaker 5: Marquis Bell. So the adversity that usually hits the back
Speaker 5: end of the season hit the Cowboys in the first
Speaker 5: half and they've already got it figured out knock on
Speaker 5: Wood that I know others, But these other top NFC
Speaker 5: teams outside of the Lions, they're starting to lose some
Speaker 5: key guys, so that's going to matter.
Speaker 8: Also, what game out of the remainding games of the
Speaker 8: schedule for the Cowboys. Would you foresee a.
Speaker 3: Loss Detroit against Detroit? I think Detroit's got some San
Speaker 3: Francisco tendencies to them that give the Cowboys some problems.
Speaker 3: Physical on the offensive defensive line. You know, they're skill
Speaker 3: guys that think are pretty good, and they got a
Speaker 3: quarterback that really doesn't turn the ball over. They do
Speaker 3: run the ball really really well. You know, you look
Speaker 3: at what Detroit does. I mean, they play with a
Speaker 3: certain level of physicality. The great thing for the Cowboys,
Speaker 3: in my opinion, is you're playing at home. I think
Speaker 3: you got it. I think you clearly have a home
Speaker 3: field in and I really do.
Speaker 7: I was gonna say that's also the reason why I
Speaker 7: think them at Miami is going to be a tougher
Speaker 7: game for them to win, because I think the speed's
Speaker 7: going to be a problem. I think the temperature and
Speaker 7: the humidity could be a problem because again, the Cowboys
Speaker 7: will have not played or practiced in that in quite
Speaker 7: a while.
Speaker 2: And that's how Miami is all the time.
Speaker 7: It's going to be hot, it's going to be human
Speaker 7: and and I think on the road, right, so you
Speaker 7: look at all those things I think Miami is going
Speaker 7: to be one of the toughest games the Cowboys have
Speaker 7: left on the sky. And it doesn't matter as much
Speaker 7: because it is an AFC team, so it doesn't kill
Speaker 7: you with a lot of tie breaks.
Speaker 2: But I don't I think it's gonna be hard.
Speaker 3: I think they could deal with the heat better than
Speaker 3: they could deal with the cold in Buffalo.
Speaker 2: That's actually gonna be a good question.
Speaker 3: We live in here, we live in heat and humidity.
Speaker 3: We live here. We understand it. We su justedill have
Speaker 3: a great advantage in Green Bay when people would come
Speaker 3: up there and play late in the year that you
Speaker 3: know it's five below zero and you're.
Speaker 2: Not it's rocky three. You go into the Arctic like, yeah, it's.
Speaker 3: That cold affects the way you play more.
Speaker 5: The heat.
Speaker 3: You could kind of survive.
Speaker 9: Before we leave and then the show just for the
Speaker 9: of it, win or lose for the rest of the season. Uh,
Speaker 9: cow was at home versus Commanders.
Speaker 2: Just when are we doing We're doing win loss?
Speaker 3: Yes, all right, it's Colt McCoy playing quarterback for the Commanders.
Speaker 8: We'll see he's not he's not. You never know what?
Speaker 2: Okay, yes, when when?
Speaker 3: When and the what is it the lady, she's a
Speaker 3: strange lady.
Speaker 2: I gotta get a were talking about.
Speaker 8: A home versus Seattle. When when when I was at
Speaker 8: home versus Eagles?
Speaker 3: When when when, Okay, we're sound like now away.
Speaker 8: In Buffalo.
Speaker 3: I think I think that's the lost Yeah.
Speaker 9: Okay, Cowboys in Miami loss. Okay, Cowboys at home Detroit
Speaker 9: when okay?
Speaker 5: Maybe?
Speaker 7: And then and then and then when when I think
Speaker 7: they're going to lose two more, I think lose to
Speaker 7: and I please, I think it's gonna be those two
Speaker 7: road games.
Speaker 2: But I don't know. Maybe it's not.
Speaker 3: The commanders.
Speaker 8: Lady, the lady can think anap All right.
Speaker 2: We appreciate you guys. Jones. We'll be back tomorrow.
Speaker 7: We're gonna jump right into this Cowboys versus Commanders. Brian,
Speaker 7: don't give us a lowdown on the Commander's offense versus
Speaker 7: the Cowboys defense.
Speaker 2: We'll be back dllas cowboy.
