Speaker 1: The following He's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. This he's Talking Cowboys
Speaker 1: Screaming live from the Dallas Cowboys World Hours at the
Speaker 1: Star in Friscoota. And now your hosts Isaiah Stanback, heck
Speaker 1: My Harrison, Rob Phillips, and Kyle Yeoman's. Oh, it's a
Speaker 1: Tuesday edition of Talking Cowboys here from the Star in Frisco.
Speaker 1: And they asked WPC Mortgage Studios the morning after a
Speaker 1: thirty eight to ten loss to the Arizona Cardinals on
Speaker 1: Monday night. Football, Boy, do we have a lot to
Speaker 1: talk about here over the next forty five minutes? Forty
Speaker 1: five minutes isn't gonna be able to contain this show?
Speaker 1: I can feel it. Isaiah Standback is sitting across from me.
Speaker 1: I know he's ready to let it rip. I know
Speaker 1: hat My Harrison, who's in his household. I know he's
Speaker 1: just ready to let all the frustration out. And then
Speaker 1: Rob turn a hoodie this morning and that should tell
Speaker 1: you everything, Rob Phillips, So we've got ourselves a show
Speaker 1: for you here over the next five minutes. I'm Kyle
Speaker 1: Yeoman's and boys, where do we start. I mean talk
Speaker 1: about the turnovers. Four turnovers for the Cowboys yesterday They
Speaker 1: lost to a quarterback that's from your hometown who only
Speaker 1: had nine completions. Only time in the Super Bowl era
Speaker 1: that has ever happened, especially whenever they get blown out
Speaker 1: like they did. Thirty eight to ten was the final score.
Speaker 1: But Rob will start with you. You were in the
Speaker 1: stadium for the one at and T Stadium, which had
Speaker 1: twenty five thousand fans at least at the start of
Speaker 1: the game. I don't know how many there were at
Speaker 1: the end of it. But what do you think of
Speaker 1: last night's ball game? And what were your thoughts. We're
Speaker 1: not doing the smelly sticker segments this week. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: no smelly stickers. It's a great it's a great idea,
Speaker 1: but we're not there today. To me, this is the
Speaker 1: worst loss of the season so far because it was
Speaker 1: a repeat of the previous four games, except you didn't
Speaker 1: have Dak Prescott to come in and fix it. And
Speaker 1: because you have your backup quarterback in the game. I
Speaker 1: know Andy Dalton is a starting caliber quarterback. He's had
Speaker 1: one week of practice. The starters. You've got to lift
Speaker 1: him up. You do what you can to help him.
Speaker 1: He didn't play his best game, but the turnovers continue
Speaker 1: to be a problem. Big plays on defense continue to
Speaker 1: be a problem. And you know, if you're going to
Speaker 1: win games without your best player, you got to you
Speaker 1: gotta focus up, and you gotta be sharp. And that
Speaker 1: was the worst performance they've had of the season in
Speaker 1: terms of turnovers, which is saying something four turnovers. They
Speaker 1: haven't had more than three in the first five games
Speaker 1: of the season. And there's there's your ball game, there's
Speaker 1: your season right now minus twelve. We've talked about it
Speaker 1: over and over and it's the same problem, and it's
Speaker 1: the same story, and it's going to continue until they
Speaker 1: get fixed. Em oh Man, what a morning to have
Speaker 1: this responsibility, because it's it's one of those it's one
Speaker 1: of those losses that doesn't sit right with you because
Speaker 1: of the effort, uh you quarterback, quarter I guess if
Speaker 1: you just say first quarter, the defense was given us
Speaker 1: everything that we had been looking for. It looked like
Speaker 1: it showed up a lot of their problems, communication errors,
Speaker 1: We were even getting some mush up front. And then
Speaker 1: you know, once the turnovers started to happen, it just
Speaker 1: seemed like it sucked all of the air out of
Speaker 1: the building, especially from our defense. They just went back
Speaker 1: to some of their old habits. And it's from defense.
Speaker 1: I guess it's the communication problems among the defensive backs.
Speaker 1: It just seems like they're out of sorts. Are I'm
Speaker 1: tired of the excuse of maybe I don't know what
Speaker 1: they're doing, but just out of sorts. I can't. I
Speaker 1: can't go with that note that they don't know what
Speaker 1: they're doing. I just just it really bothers me to see, uh,
Speaker 1: these big plays and guys running free knowing that they
Speaker 1: have to get a stop, can't get a stop, or
Speaker 1: can't get off the field, you know. And you know
Speaker 1: I said, talked about it beforehand. It's just saying, look,
Speaker 1: these are the things that we need to look for.
Speaker 1: Showed in film session. We talked to Bude Baker, and
Speaker 1: I mean, man, if Bude Baker that go to the
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl off of this one game, I don't know, man,
Speaker 1: because he had himself, He had himself quite quite an evening,
Speaker 1: all right, as man man um in the world or
Speaker 1: Charles Barkley just terrible, terrible, um, terrible, terrible for you.
Speaker 1: It was not good Man Um, you know, I guess
Speaker 1: the good news is you know we want to time
Speaker 1: a possession. Um that's yeah. We wanted it, did they?
Speaker 1: So there goes. That was my tip for the game
Speaker 1: and want that. But we did definitely didn't win the game.
Speaker 1: Um no, I mean this is just was not a
Speaker 1: good performance. And there's no fans or bunts about it,
Speaker 1: you know, any Dalton. You know, I I tooted his
Speaker 1: horn all week and I think he still will pay
Speaker 1: off for the Cowboys. I'm down to stretch. I'm you know,
Speaker 1: probably starting this week. You know, as you already attested
Speaker 1: to Rob. You know, he had one week you know,
Speaker 1: and you guys, everybody saw it. I mean, people can
Speaker 1: can drag his name through the mud all day long
Speaker 1: because we lost the game and he didn't play very well.
Speaker 1: But you know, as a backup quarterback, you don't get
Speaker 1: a lot of reps with the ones. You just don't.
Speaker 1: You don't get a lot of reps in period. In
Speaker 1: practice period you might get you know, you might get
Speaker 1: some seven out seven rests, but you're running. You could
Speaker 1: tell that their timing was out of whack. They had
Speaker 1: no they were not in sync by any means, you know,
Speaker 1: seeing a play on paper, seeing it on video, you know,
Speaker 1: and the coaches tell talking about it in the meeting
Speaker 1: room is one thing, but when you take it to
Speaker 1: the field, there's so many other elements that come into play.
Speaker 1: As a quarterback, you have to be able to have
Speaker 1: your timing with the receivers. You gotta know when they're
Speaker 1: gonna break their routes off. You got to know the
Speaker 1: non the non verbal communication as far as their body languages,
Speaker 1: and when they're gonna make breaks and cuts. And there's
Speaker 1: so much, so many elements to the game that you know,
Speaker 1: fans most most likely are not gonna necessarily be that
Speaker 1: empathetic too. But as a former player, I'm just gonna
Speaker 1: caution you to say, everybody out there just to be patient.
Speaker 1: Um it's hard to say when you're two and four,
Speaker 1: but be patient with with Andy Dalton, you know, And
Speaker 1: I said it in the pregame show. He would not
Speaker 1: be the reason why why the Cowboys lost, and he
Speaker 1: was not the sole reason why the Cowboys lost. Um,
Speaker 1: this defense played well as you as you mentioned, Heck,
Speaker 1: these guys, these guys looked like they had sued things up.
Speaker 1: L Vee came in obviously him him coming back. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of question marks and you could see the
Speaker 1: leadership that he has on the field. He was literally
Speaker 1: hitting dudes on a hip, hitting him on the butt,
Speaker 1: getting them lined up properly. Guys were and you know
Speaker 1: you see Jalen looking at him like, oh, okay, this
Speaker 1: is where I'm supposed to be at. You know, like
Speaker 1: he came over and he took the he took the
Speaker 1: you know, the realm. But all in all, Man, you know,
Speaker 1: turnovers was the it was the thing, you know, and
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, Um, Kyler Murray did exactly what we said
Speaker 1: he was gonna do right when we talked about it
Speaker 1: in film session. You know, he was soon. I think
Speaker 1: the defensive ends did they what they were supposed to do, right,
Speaker 1: they were upfield. I think the interior d lineman did okay,
Speaker 1: but they got two wide right, just like we talked about.
Speaker 1: As soon as he saw that whole he's gone. Um.
Speaker 1: I think guys had leverage, right, I mean, against any
Speaker 1: other quarterback aside from Michael Vick. You know, these guys
Speaker 1: would have been able to contain him. But he is
Speaker 1: who he is, and he, you know, he broke what
Speaker 1: was good containment us. He's one of the best athletes
Speaker 1: in the league. I mean, you give him that respect. Um,
Speaker 1: and then we talk about yeah, lightning and not even
Speaker 1: only just fast, but he's quick as all get out, right,
Speaker 1: So even when you have leverage, he can make you
Speaker 1: change your leverage based upon him just making one move. Right.
Speaker 1: So kudos to the defense. I think they played a
Speaker 1: lot better than what they have played in the past.
Speaker 1: In the front seven, in the secondary, Oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: I'm sure we'll get to it. This cover four, they
Speaker 1: just toss it out the window. We're watching the game
Speaker 1: yesterday robbed. This Cover four has to stop because teams
Speaker 1: are literally I'm sitting here watching team's scheme against cover
Speaker 1: four in our in our inability to run it the
Speaker 1: way it's supposed to be ran. Um. Larry Fitzgerald was
Speaker 1: a decoy for d hop right on passes that weren't
Speaker 1: even completed, but they were still there. Um. Buddha Baker
Speaker 1: on defense was at complete dog. He is who he
Speaker 1: said he was, so all in all, I noticed so
Speaker 1: much to unravel. But it just wasn't a good game
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys, and they just want to fast forward
Speaker 1: to Washington. Well, I mean that's all we got to
Speaker 1: talk about. All right, that's it for talking Cowboys today.
Speaker 1: We just hit every piece of Oh. I mean, here's
Speaker 1: some stats for you. This is the first time since
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen that the Cowboys have started sub five hundred
Speaker 1: through weeks six of the NFL season, and the last
Speaker 1: time they did so, they went three and thirteen, and
Speaker 1: of course drafted Dak Prescott and Ezekie Elliot in the
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen draft. Since two thousand and seven, Tony Romo's
Speaker 1: first season as a full time starter for the Cowboys,
Speaker 1: Cowboys replacement quarterbacks quote unquote non week one starters are
Speaker 1: a combined seven and twenty one, pretty close to what
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton's career record in primetime is. Six and twenty
Speaker 1: one now is his career record in primetime. So things
Speaker 1: didn't go right from a quarterback perspective. You could say
Speaker 1: that about the offensive line, You could say that about
Speaker 1: the second you can say that about the defensive line
Speaker 1: as well. But I think you start with turnovers. Four turnovers.
Speaker 1: He took it, and even Mike McCarthy started his press
Speaker 1: or last night with it. Rob and he talked about
Speaker 1: how you have a minus twelve turnover differential. No other
Speaker 1: team in the NFL has more than twelve turnovers, and
Speaker 1: you have a minus twelve turnover differential. It's hard to
Speaker 1: win games whenever you put your defense in that bat
Speaker 1: of a situation on multiple occasions each week, every single time.
Speaker 1: Rob he's got to be pulling his hair out. And
Speaker 1: you know, he said it starts with me, but you
Speaker 1: know the foundation of his program in Green Bay, what
Speaker 1: we're learning, the way he's harping on these turnovers. I
Speaker 1: went back and looked at it, and he made reference
Speaker 1: it a while back to that. I mean, they were
Speaker 1: they were plus in the in the differential every year
Speaker 1: in Green Bay. Every year I think they were. He
Speaker 1: was close over thirteen seasons, it was like plus one
Speaker 1: hundred or something close to it. They just don't take
Speaker 1: care of the ball at all. And and when it's
Speaker 1: your best players, that's what makes it even worse. And
Speaker 1: you guys spoke about Andy Dalton and what Isaiah said,
Speaker 1: he wasn't gonna He's not the reason you're gonna lose games.
Speaker 1: That shouldn't be his responsibility coming in as the backup.
Speaker 1: And Jerry actually spoke to that on the fan on
Speaker 1: Friday and this is what they're talking about. You know,
Speaker 1: they they never gave him an opportunity to have any
Speaker 1: sort of balance. That's why I said it was just
Speaker 1: like the first last four games, fifty four pass attempts.
Speaker 1: It's the same thing over and over again, where now
Speaker 1: you're asking not Dak but his backup to come in
Speaker 1: and try to save the game just on the strength
Speaker 1: of his arm. And you know, they wanted to get
Speaker 1: the run established, but that's Zeke's own fault. And he
Speaker 1: admittedly that they didn't get the run established because of
Speaker 1: two turnovers. And I don't know. I don't know what's
Speaker 1: happening there. I know that on Twitter the discussion was
Speaker 1: the sleeves and all that. Oh that they went on
Speaker 1: a giant winning streak two years ago when he and
Speaker 1: Dak wore the long sleeves. So I don't I don't
Speaker 1: know if it's that um, but Kyle, yes, they they're
Speaker 1: not going to win very many games at all if
Speaker 1: they don't get this fixed. And and and it's it's
Speaker 1: partially the defense too, you know, they I think they
Speaker 1: have I don't know, is it three takeaways this year,
Speaker 1: three or four that have led to ten ten points?
Speaker 1: Field goal and a return for a touchdown. So it's
Speaker 1: just the whole complimentary football thing that we keep talking
Speaker 1: about over and over again, that's just not there. And
Speaker 1: the one player I think that you believe coming into
Speaker 1: this game that you absolutely needed to have a big
Speaker 1: game was Zeke, right, and you know, we talked about
Speaker 1: it at length and just not giving up on on
Speaker 1: the running game and making sure that you just pounded
Speaker 1: it and the offensive line getting some momentum behind this
Speaker 1: backup quarterback man. Those two fumbles just crippled us. But
Speaker 1: it wasn't the ball game, all right. We gave up
Speaker 1: those fourteen points, Okay, we still were in a position
Speaker 1: that we could at least try to make this a game.
Speaker 1: We never got to that point, and it just seemed
Speaker 1: like one big play after another big play and the
Speaker 1: adr bomb, Like to me, that was it. Everybody could
Speaker 1: have just packed up and left after that, because to me,
Speaker 1: it was like the team said right then in that moment, Okay,
Speaker 1: this is who we are. These monumental first half collapses
Speaker 1: is just who we are. And look, if you look
Speaker 1: at Andy Dalton's performance, Yes, all right, he was under
Speaker 1: pressure a lot last night, but you also saw how
Speaker 1: Dak was having to escape that pressure for five games
Speaker 1: and get out and make these heroic efforts to bring
Speaker 1: us back from behind. We just don't have that anymore.
Speaker 1: And without that piece, man, we're dead in the water
Speaker 1: whenever you look at And I do put that Christian
Speaker 1: kirk Adr touchdown reception as a huge point in this
Speaker 1: football game. But even after that, you drove down the field.
Speaker 1: You had an opportunity after the two minute warning to
Speaker 1: throw it to Michael Gallup who was wide open in
Speaker 1: the end zone, and he dropped a touchdown pass that
Speaker 1: would have made it twenty one seven. You got the
Speaker 1: ball to start the second half, you drove down the
Speaker 1: field again, and I believe that ended up in a
Speaker 1: turnover or are they just stalled out again? And that
Speaker 1: drive as well, so you had a chance to make
Speaker 1: you twenty one fourteen, and I think it slipped through
Speaker 1: the fingertips of Michael Gallup, which I'm not gonna put
Speaker 1: this game on Michael Gallup by anymore, by any stretch
Speaker 1: of the imagination, because he just didn't catch the ball
Speaker 1: that one time. How did we know at that point
Speaker 1: that that was going to be the final opportunity to
Speaker 1: really get back in this game. But Isaiah and I
Speaker 1: kind of want to go off of what Heckma said here.
Speaker 1: He said Dak Prescott kind of masked and hit a
Speaker 1: lot of the problems that we saw on this offensive line.
Speaker 1: I think that came to light again this week, and
Speaker 1: maybe we relied a little bit too much on the
Speaker 1: performance against the New York Giants defense that just really
Speaker 1: isn't that good. And we moved into this week with
Speaker 1: a little bit more confidence, and then as soon as
Speaker 1: Zack Martin was out, it was ball game over. But
Speaker 1: what did you see from the offensive line and how
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton reacted behind it? I think there were two
Speaker 1: things that was taking place. I think you had a
Speaker 1: quarterback who hasn't had enough time with either his line
Speaker 1: or with either his line and his receivers, right, So
Speaker 1: timing was off, communications seemed off. I'm sure it just
Speaker 1: they just haven't had to have time together, so that
Speaker 1: that was not seamless by any means. So you could
Speaker 1: tell that's going on. And then the offensive line, obviously,
Speaker 1: once Frederick went down, I mean, geez, I mean these guys,
Speaker 1: uh yeah, these guys just you could tell that they
Speaker 1: just they were just demoralized. Right. You could tell that
Speaker 1: they they just lost their confidence. All the air in
Speaker 1: the stadium was taken out. It was like, no, not
Speaker 1: not this one, all right, and we've already lost two
Speaker 1: other you know, two other Pro bowlers, not the third
Speaker 1: Pro bowler, you know, and um, once that happened, it
Speaker 1: was just like, um, oh crap, we already we have
Speaker 1: we have a regular offensive line when no all pro
Speaker 1: guys playing right now. And it was like, you know,
Speaker 1: like I said, Dallas has been and spoil for a
Speaker 1: very long time, right, very long time. It's been a
Speaker 1: while since they had an offensive line without a Pro bowler,
Speaker 1: you know. And there's a lot of there's a lot
Speaker 1: of teams in this league that at half offensive lines
Speaker 1: with our Pro bowlers, right, and this is what you
Speaker 1: have now, and it's and it shouldn't be that mentality
Speaker 1: like these guys are all professional athletes. Like dang, our
Speaker 1: dogs are gone. But guess what, so and Sol's been grinding,
Speaker 1: let's go. Right, they didn't have anybody on the defensive
Speaker 1: line that was magnificent that you were scared of. Their
Speaker 1: guy had been he's on ir the guy that you're
Speaker 1: worried about. Right, But what they did was to make
Speaker 1: up for that. Their defensive coordinator said, we are sending
Speaker 1: the entire house and our tents and everything else we got, right,
Speaker 1: get your dog on. I don't care what you got.
Speaker 1: We're sending everybody. And he just yeah, the whole kid
Speaker 1: just said. He brought everybody seemingly every play. And like
Speaker 1: we talked about, this team was going to do this.
Speaker 1: This was something that was known. They were going to
Speaker 1: apply pressure that way. They were going to test out
Speaker 1: this offensive line. They were going to get up in
Speaker 1: our receiver's face and see if they can make and
Speaker 1: tested catches. So collectively, as a you know, I think
Speaker 1: it was a bad combination of any dog not having
Speaker 1: enough reps with this guy and being in continuity with them,
Speaker 1: and then this offers a line just looking at each
Speaker 1: other saying, Okay, who's now the leader? Rob, whenever you
Speaker 1: look at go for it, go ahead, go ahead. No
Speaker 1: I was. I was just gonna say, guys, you know what,
Speaker 1: consider yourselves blessed that you didn't have to watch this
Speaker 1: on the broadcast and listen to Greasy last night. I'll
Speaker 1: tell you, man, he's probably one of my least favorite
Speaker 1: people this morning. Yea, he is one of my least
Speaker 1: favorite people, because if you lit a cowboy hayda do
Speaker 1: color commentator for a three hour game, man, that's just
Speaker 1: like And I didn't mute my television. Usually I'll mute
Speaker 1: the television. But Greasy, I got you dog. Yeah, yeah. Well,
Speaker 1: and Steve Weavey was in that boat as well. There
Speaker 1: were a couple shots in there talking about the desert
Speaker 1: and then they had the graphics. They were trampling defense
Speaker 1: a little bit. They got after it a little bit.
Speaker 1: They kept taking shots from baymakers back and forth, which
Speaker 1: is fine. I mean, at the end of a thirty
Speaker 1: eighth to ten ball game, what else are you gonna
Speaker 1: do as a broadcaster? It's and it's America's team. When
Speaker 1: they're down it, boy, it's fun to kick him, right,
Speaker 1: That's what the media does. And when they're up, they're
Speaker 1: at the highest pedestal. Right, That's just that's just what
Speaker 1: comes with it. And you get everybody's best shot. Mike
Speaker 1: McCarthy spoke to that during the week, and they got
Speaker 1: the best shot from Arizona. And what Isaiah said about
Speaker 1: the offensive line with with Dalton, he just didn't look
Speaker 1: comfortable for basically the entire game. I thought, I thought
Speaker 1: there were times of protection held and and give them
Speaker 1: credit for fifty four dropbacks and trying to hang in there. Um,
Speaker 1: but you know, he did get sacked three times. I
Speaker 1: thought there was some coverage sacks two or coverage pressure
Speaker 1: where there weren't a lot of there were some tight
Speaker 1: windows there. Um, the way they were covering the Cowboys receivers.
Speaker 1: He got it hit eight times. And but yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: when you're looking, we'll see what We'll see what Zach's
Speaker 1: status is this week. He's going to be in concussion
Speaker 1: protocol and see how he does as the week goes on.
Speaker 1: But undrafted last year rookie at left tackle, Connor Williams
Speaker 1: is your old man at left guard, yep, and he's
Speaker 1: in his third year in the league. You've got a
Speaker 1: rookie center, you've got Connor McGovern, who everybody's been wanting
Speaker 1: to see him play, draft pick last year didn't play,
Speaker 1: and then an undrafted rookie at right tackle. I mean,
Speaker 1: oh god, it's a it's a that's a tough situation.
Speaker 1: And then you throw on top of the fact that
Speaker 1: they completely threw out any semblance of balance. Step boy,
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just a recipe for a disaster, and
Speaker 1: it looked like a disaster, especially at the beginning of
Speaker 1: that football game, and really didn't find a rhythm at all.
Speaker 1: And it's gonna be a tough week, a short, shorter
Speaker 1: week now before you take on Washington. We'll talk about
Speaker 1: Washington a little bit tomorrow. But when we come back,
Speaker 1: we're gonna look on the defensive side of the football
Speaker 1: and see exactly what was needed the shore up and
Speaker 1: did somebody step up in the middle of that defensive line.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about it next when we return here on

Speaker 1: the offensive line here in a little bit, because there
Speaker 1: are definitely things to shore up, and I mean that's
Speaker 1: not the only area that the Cowboys have to show
Speaker 1: them some things up, but we are talking Cowboys. Tuesday
Speaker 1: Edition following the thirty eight ten loss to the Arizona Cardinals.
Speaker 1: Stand back Rob Phillips heck my Harrison, I'm Kyle Yeomans,
Speaker 1: and I mentioned the defensive line, and Isaiah mentioned a
Speaker 1: little bit earlier you thought containment was a little bit better.
Speaker 1: I mean, you kept a Kyler free ball club led
Speaker 1: ball club to what was it ten Carrey seventy four
Speaker 1: yards along was sixteen, so you kept him at least
Speaker 1: semi under control. But what did you think about the
Speaker 1: defensive line in the front seven, especially whenever they have
Speaker 1: Layton vander esh back in the fall. They were better
Speaker 1: and I was encouraged because they were. They were better,
Speaker 1: and I think that's because of the leadership. I don't
Speaker 1: want to give it all to LVD. I think those
Speaker 1: guys showed up with UM. I think they accepted a challenge,
Speaker 1: you know, I really do. I believe that they accepted
Speaker 1: a challenge. I believe came out with the intent the
Speaker 1: determination to not only contain Kyler Murray really put a
Speaker 1: stop to what he can do. I think they were
Speaker 1: successful with that early on. I think they had him flustered. UM.
Speaker 1: I think he was frustrated, he wasn't able to get
Speaker 1: out the pocket away in which he really wanted to
Speaker 1: out the pocket which was on the outside. He had
Speaker 1: to step up an inside, which is worth if he
Speaker 1: has to run, that's directly you want him to go,
Speaker 1: because he's running to the heart of your DEFU. He
Speaker 1: was making it passes. He wasn't accurate. So I mean
Speaker 1: everyone that they wanted they were getting early on um.
Speaker 1: But as you as you mentioned, you know, once turnovers hit,
Speaker 1: you know you as a as a defense who's playing,
Speaker 1: you get really deflated. You really deflated. When you do
Speaker 1: what you're supposed to do. Um, you get your offensive
Speaker 1: ball and then they set it right back and guess what,
Speaker 1: I'm back on the field, right, Okay. So and then
Speaker 1: you go back out there, you're like, okay, they just
Speaker 1: get get it together. Our offensive. You know they messed
Speaker 1: up the one time. Let's out there and ball out again,
Speaker 1: and they get the ball back again, right, they get
Speaker 1: these guys to punt, You get the ball back on
Speaker 1: office again and guess what, they give it right back.
Speaker 1: So as a defense, I mean, what are you thinking
Speaker 1: right now? We're finally playing. Well, we got our dog
Speaker 1: back and linebacker and our offense just just just give
Speaker 1: us the business right now. So I think they played
Speaker 1: well early on him and then they like whenever you
Speaker 1: look at the total offensive output of this ball game,
Speaker 1: and you you have the yardage of three plays. Have
Speaker 1: the sixty yard reception from Andre Hopkins, the sixty nine
Speaker 1: yard reception or give me sixty nine yard touchdown run
Speaker 1: from Kenyon take that was in garbage time, and they
Speaker 1: have the adr touchdown passed from from Murray to Kirk
Speaker 1: accounted for all but two hundred and twenty nine total
Speaker 1: yards for the Arizona Cardinals. That doesn't even really include
Speaker 1: the turnover yardage that was later on in the fact
Speaker 1: that they were pushed up against their own wall. I
Speaker 1: feel like it's a lazy thing on this Tuesday. Blame
Speaker 1: the defense. Rob. I could be wrong, but I think
Speaker 1: they played their best game of the year, but they
Speaker 1: were just put in awful situations. And then, like Isaiah
Speaker 1: just said, the big play is just cat it up
Speaker 1: later on. Yeah, I mean, it all goes together. I
Speaker 1: can't blame You cannot when you're two and four. You
Speaker 1: can't blame one aspect of a fotall team. It's it
Speaker 1: all ties together. Like you said, the turnovers are a
Speaker 1: problem now. That being said, Mike McCarthy talked repeatedly after
Speaker 1: the game about Jerry did too on the fan of
Speaker 1: this small handling adversity, and part of that's the sudden
Speaker 1: change situations where you know, I'm Isaiah's right, I'm sure
Speaker 1: it's deflating as heck to you know, be in those situations,
Speaker 1: but it's a touch It's like a touch down almost
Speaker 1: every time after these turnovers. I think it's eighty four
Speaker 1: points off turnovers. They've got to be able to get
Speaker 1: a stand at some point, you know, So it's partly there.
Speaker 1: I thought, like Isaiah said, I thought early on they
Speaker 1: tried their best to contain kyler Um. You know, sometimes
Speaker 1: you just can't. Hell, he's gonna get out in space,
Speaker 1: and it's Jalen against a quarterback runs of four three
Speaker 1: in space. That's a tough matchup. But they were able
Speaker 1: to look he threw he was nine of kind of
Speaker 1: twenty nine. He you know, he has some big plays.
Speaker 1: But but they they did some things to fluster him.
Speaker 1: But again, it just comes down to the big place,
Speaker 1: you know, the one at the end. You know, don't
Speaker 1: give me started on that one. But I don't know
Speaker 1: what happened there. But you know, to me, what's becoming clear.
Speaker 1: The offense just can't. They've got to have more positive
Speaker 1: drives because the defense is gonna can hold for a
Speaker 1: few drives, but they're gonna be susceptible against against teams
Speaker 1: with really top players, They're gonna give up a big
Speaker 1: play here and there, and the offense has to be
Speaker 1: able to manage it. And you can't do that by
Speaker 1: giving up drives so easily with turnovers. You know what, guys,
Speaker 1: we have we have two Isaiah stanbacks. We got the
Speaker 1: house Isaiah, and then we have the studio Isaiah, the
Speaker 1: house at the house, at the studio, standback studios kyl
Speaker 1: of you to ask him that question, people to start
Speaker 1: melting out of his seat right, because it's not a
Speaker 1: lazy take to say, yeah, here this with completely out frame,
Speaker 1: Because man, I beat this is what we're bad. And
Speaker 1: I don't you know, containment all of that. I didn't
Speaker 1: see it. I mean I saw Colin Murray, Murray beating contained,
Speaker 1: sitting the ball to himself, getting around the corner. You
Speaker 1: knew what we had come in the town, and Colin
Speaker 1: Murray got what he wanted every time. And I achieved
Speaker 1: that first quarter of him just being happy to be
Speaker 1: at home and knowing that the at and T and
Speaker 1: Keithsbury just had to tell him, hey, don calmed down.
Speaker 1: I know you're ready to go off, but you're missing
Speaker 1: wide open guys. And what happened as soon as he
Speaker 1: calmed down, he throws an adyr bomb that was there
Speaker 1: the first time that he tried it. And look, the
Speaker 1: two turnovers are one thing, but guys scoring on those
Speaker 1: turnovers are another thing. It's just not a necessary thing
Speaker 1: that he turned the ball over and you can go
Speaker 1: in the score. No, we put our defense back out there,
Speaker 1: hold him to a field goal. At least we can't
Speaker 1: stop anybody. And at the historic pace that we're on,
Speaker 1: and they showed it. Man, we've given up more points
Speaker 1: than any other defense. And what fifty years years, yes,
Speaker 1: fifty years. And then I look defensive line wise. Seventy
Speaker 1: nine Hamilton, I mean, this guy's in on the fourth
Speaker 1: and one. I don't see dun Terry Paul, I don't
Speaker 1: see anybody else. Seventy nine was a guy that was
Speaker 1: showing up last night. Even Levil Gallimore was chasing guys
Speaker 1: down and making tackles. But linebacker wise, even on that
Speaker 1: long run by Kenyan Drake, who by all statistical by
Speaker 1: statistical numbers, was having about an average season. Now he
Speaker 1: looks like Marshall Falk. But you know, our linebackers were
Speaker 1: just in the wash and this guy takes it. Come on,
Speaker 1: This is a part where everybody has to look at
Speaker 1: themselves and say, okay, look, we are on pace to
Speaker 1: be the worst defense ever. And if they have any
Speaker 1: pride in themselves, this is a point where you start
Speaker 1: looking yourself in the mirror and tapping yourself right here
Speaker 1: in the middle and saying, look, man, we gotta have
Speaker 1: more heart than this. We can't just come out and
Speaker 1: get our launch take it. I don't think anybody thought
Speaker 1: that this the Cardinals offensive line was any good, but
Speaker 1: last night, as a collective group, they looked unstoppable. They
Speaker 1: got whatever they wanted from us. Man, this is just
Speaker 1: this is awful. This is awful, And I don't know that.
Speaker 1: You know, we're gonna talk about all week how we
Speaker 1: fix it, what we do, But dude, there's just no
Speaker 1: heart in this. You just don't see any effort, no
Speaker 1: want to stop it, right, And I'm frustrated as hell.
Speaker 1: If you can't tell. Oh, we can tell, and I
Speaker 1: love it. Really you are, No, I love it. I
Speaker 1: want to hear that frustrating over here here in fairness.
Speaker 1: In fairness, Kyler does this to everybody. I will say
Speaker 1: that twice to us twice. Yeah, and you know what,
Speaker 1: you might see him. You might see him again. I
Speaker 1: can't you might you might see him again in the
Speaker 1: first round all of the playoffs. No, don't do that.
Speaker 1: But no, I'm stopping myself because we can't talk about
Speaker 1: the playoffs today. We can't about that. I'm just in
Speaker 1: all seriousness, in all seriousness, like Rob just said, he
Speaker 1: was going to do this to you, right, We talked
Speaker 1: about the guys that you're gonna have to put on
Speaker 1: him if you're gonna try to stop Kyler Murray. You
Speaker 1: need internal presidents, you need an outside containment, and then
Speaker 1: you need a dog on a secondary guy to be
Speaker 1: on him, to spy him if you're gonna try to
Speaker 1: contain him. They did a good job taking Away to Pass, right.
Speaker 1: They took Away to Pass for the most part, except
Speaker 1: for the fact that I guess what. The same issue
Speaker 1: we've been having is safeties. We haven't had safeties, which
Speaker 1: is why I called on Earl to pearl right for
Speaker 1: a long time. Now, right, they still need to address
Speaker 1: the safety position. There's a whole lot of other positions
Speaker 1: that have come into the fold now that we need
Speaker 1: to address in terms of office a line, in terms
Speaker 1: us the D line. Guys. He talked about Gallimore, we
Speaker 1: talked about was at Hamilton, and those guys are high effort.
Speaker 1: You know, those guys are high effort guys. Those guys
Speaker 1: are coming in and they're wanting to play versus some
Speaker 1: of the other guys, the veterans that we're seeing that
Speaker 1: don't seem to have that same fire and desire. But
Speaker 1: even on that last play of Drake, I'm watching it
Speaker 1: over and over again, even right now, our safeties sucked. Man,
Speaker 1: Like these guys are running into holes where the running
Speaker 1: backs and two holes over there. They're getting washed and
Speaker 1: caught in the wash. They're not showing any kind of awareness.
Speaker 1: We talked about the coverage earlier, so yeah, our front
Speaker 1: seven and I feel like they played better, but these
Speaker 1: safeties didn't help. Right, If we had safeties that were
Speaker 1: actually diligent and actually you know, um composed and structurally sound,
Speaker 1: you wouldn't have this run by Drake at the end
Speaker 1: of the game. You wouldn't have these these big plays
Speaker 1: over the top. And that's just that's just the facts.
Speaker 1: So even though the front seven can be better and
Speaker 1: they were better, when you don't have safeties that are disciplined,
Speaker 1: that's when big plays go. So as we talked about,
Speaker 1: there wasn't a lot of they didn't move the ball
Speaker 1: a whole bunch aside from you know, you know, Murray
Speaker 1: doing what he does right. But the big plays come
Speaker 1: in a part, and why did the big players happen
Speaker 1: because the guys that have the title of safety aren't
Speaker 1: being safeties. It's a good point, it really is, and
Speaker 1: I think it entering this game. If we were to
Speaker 1: say you held DeAndre Hopkins to two receptions for seventy
Speaker 1: three yards, sure, you'd be like, oh, those are one
Speaker 1: of those, must have gone for a long game. But
Speaker 1: you really take away that sixty yard game and you
Speaker 1: had him at one for thirteen the majority of the
Speaker 1: football game, and you held Kyler Murray to nine completions
Speaker 1: for one hundred and eighty eight yards. I think you
Speaker 1: would take that as a defense. But where things went
Speaker 1: wrong was in the rush of the yards that was
Speaker 1: where the rushing yards went down. The Cardinals had two
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty one rushing yards, third most by any
Speaker 1: team in the game in twenty twenty final way. Two
Speaker 1: of those three those top three have been against the Cowboys,
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns most yards rushed for by Arizona since having
Speaker 1: two hundred and sixty six and Week five last year
Speaker 1: versus Andy Dalton and the Cincinnati Bengals. I know that's
Speaker 1: a different kind of statistic, but just wanted to throw
Speaker 1: that out there. But when we when we come back, yeah,
Speaker 1: it might be a big fax thing. When we come back,
Speaker 1: we're gonna look back to the offensive side of the
Speaker 1: football and see how we can find a rhythm with
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton as the quarterback and with this offensive line
Speaker 1: has banged as they are, We're going to try our
Speaker 1: best to piece together that offense when we return. Here

Speaker 1: Isaiah stand back, Kyle Yeoman's Rob Phillips, HECKM Harrison and yeah,
Speaker 1: still a little frustration over are the twenty eight point
Speaker 1: lost yesterday to the Cardinals guys. And we talked about
Speaker 1: the offensive line a little bit earlier in Andy Dalton,
Speaker 1: of course, in his first game as quarterback following the
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott injury, and Isaiah, I wanted to ask you
Speaker 1: this question specifically, but last week, I know, I think
Speaker 1: all four of us were in agreement that the gap
Speaker 1: wasn't going to be huge from a Dak Prescott drop
Speaker 1: off to Andy Dalton. Well, it was huge at least
Speaker 1: in game one. Is this something that we can expect
Speaker 1: to continue from Andy Dalton moving forward or is it
Speaker 1: really kind of just an anomaly and something that he
Speaker 1: had because of a lack of reps. So when it
Speaker 1: comes to quarterbacks, me, how can I have addressed us?
Speaker 1: I wish I could see Isaiah right now. He's puzzled.
Speaker 1: Let's just say, yeah, So when we say that it
Speaker 1: was a huge drop off, what do we feel like
Speaker 1: Dak would have done better in this game? And that's no,
Speaker 1: no disrespect. You know, Dak would have still thrown the
Speaker 1: ball fifty four times. Um, Dak would have maybe been
Speaker 1: a little bit more accurate because he has that continuity
Speaker 1: with the receivers, right, so I give him, I give
Speaker 1: them that. Um, you know, instead of two interstation instead
Speaker 1: of two interceptions, he might have had one interception in
Speaker 1: a fumble, right, so I still would probably have been
Speaker 1: in one of two turnovers there. Um, I'm not sure
Speaker 1: what would be drastically different in this game, aside from
Speaker 1: just the timing with the receivers. Um, Annie Dalton didn't
Speaker 1: receive time. And I'm not making excuses for him. It
Speaker 1: was a longer week. I mean yeah, I'm I'm not
Speaker 1: talking about that. I'm talking about pressure, like pressure, he
Speaker 1: didn't have time to throw the ball. M. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: can say that Dak. You know, Andy Dalton got out
Speaker 1: a couple of times. We can say that Dak would
Speaker 1: have got out probably a little bit more, but that
Speaker 1: wouldn't have made the receivers be opening anymore. That wouldn't
Speaker 1: never made the receivers catch the ball anymore efficiently. Um,
Speaker 1: I just don't. I just don't see where he where
Speaker 1: Dak would have had that drastic of an impact. And
Speaker 1: that's no shade on him, that's just being real. I
Speaker 1: think it would have been better, of course, um, simply
Speaker 1: because of his continuity, but efficient his effectiveness. These boys
Speaker 1: was coming. They were coming no matter what. I don't care.
Speaker 1: I don't care who you would have put back there.
Speaker 1: You could put Joe Montana back there, You would have
Speaker 1: could put Troy Egman back there. These boys did not care, right,
Speaker 1: they were gonna disrespect anybody that was back there. And
Speaker 1: these receivers were still gonna have trouble getting open against
Speaker 1: this secondary, so the issues were still going to be present.
Speaker 1: Um I'm I'm sure Dack would have did a little better,
Speaker 1: but I still see when we look at the stats,
Speaker 1: I think the turnovers are still there. I think that
Speaker 1: the past attempts are still there. Um. They want the
Speaker 1: type of possession, right, But you know what, but I
Speaker 1: just don't see. You know, I think that any gets better.
Speaker 1: I think Dalton does get better. And I think simply
Speaker 1: because of the continuity, but the other issues that are
Speaker 1: that are underlying factors are still going to be president. Rob.
Speaker 1: Do you agree, man, I'm I'm with Hechma in that
Speaker 1: I do think his escape ability, his mobility would have
Speaker 1: been an asset. And not to say Annie Dalton's not mobile,
Speaker 1: but I think I think he could have made some
Speaker 1: more things improvised wise, make some more things happen. And
Speaker 1: Isaiah's right, I think that the continuity with receivers is big.
Speaker 1: I mean, Marii Cooper spoke to that after the game
Speaker 1: as well. Um, I think I just go back to
Speaker 1: what I said at the start of the show. They
Speaker 1: didn't they didn't do him any favors. They didn't help him.
Speaker 1: They didn't that they didn't help lift him up and
Speaker 1: give him a chance to settle in. UM with the turnovers,
Speaker 1: obviously the protection was a problem for stretches. Uh. It
Speaker 1: just wasn't. It just wasn't. Um. The table wasn't set
Speaker 1: for him to step in and drive that bus like
Speaker 1: they need him to. Uh. And and so I don't
Speaker 1: I don't put this loss on Annie Dalton, Yeah at all.
Speaker 1: I just um Zeke put the loss on him. And
Speaker 1: I think those you know, It's not one guy, but
Speaker 1: those two turnovers just completely took the air out of
Speaker 1: the balloon. Look, we watched a lot of football guys,
Speaker 1: and when you do, you see those moments where a
Speaker 1: quarterback will make a play to get you back in
Speaker 1: the game. I mean, just go back to Indianapolis this
Speaker 1: over the weekend. Philip rivers had to make plays to
Speaker 1: bring bring them back. And so one of the things
Speaker 1: that we talked about about Andy Dalton was his ability
Speaker 1: to read defenses and his quick release. We saw none
Speaker 1: of that. Booda Baker was coming. He wasn't disguising that
Speaker 1: he was coming. He was literally running up to the
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. The linebackers were standing in the a gap.
Speaker 1: They let you know that we're bringing the kitchen sink
Speaker 1: at you and you're going to have to find a
Speaker 1: hot read. He couldn't find it, okay, And when the
Speaker 1: play breaks down and you need a guy to be
Speaker 1: mobile and get out and get you those yards, he
Speaker 1: could not get us that either. So look, I'm I'm
Speaker 1: tired of preface in my statements when I say something
Speaker 1: about one guy of another, no disrespect. Look, get it
Speaker 1: done right. That's what are we what are we talking
Speaker 1: about here? If that's your strength, you read, you throw
Speaker 1: quickly the continuity, slap rights, a slat out, all the
Speaker 1: posts of pulse, A hitches a hitch, throw it, catch it?
Speaker 1: What what do we Well? I'm sorry, I'm lost right
Speaker 1: now because I don't understand what Heck, I sense your frustration, right,
Speaker 1: and I wish you do sense. I sense the frustration
Speaker 1: and and I wish I wish it was that easy
Speaker 1: ass as a quarterback that's stepping in under these circumstances.
Speaker 1: And I'm not making any excuses for any Dalton. I
Speaker 1: was too Andy Dalton's horn all week long about how
Speaker 1: he's a van Hoigh, he's an all pro and guess way,
Speaker 1: he didn't come in and perform that way. That's that's
Speaker 1: the facts, right, he did not come in and perform
Speaker 1: that way. Um. But it wasn't just simply him not
Speaker 1: showing up and performing well. Right, there were other factors.
Speaker 1: Let's be real, there were other factors. And I don't
Speaker 1: think saying I don't think heck was necessarily saying that
Speaker 1: it's all on Andy Dalton. But he didn't get it done. No,
Speaker 1: he didn't. Can't absolutely all came in and said, he's
Speaker 1: going to make an impact because he's a veteran, because
Speaker 1: he's going to be able to write the ship at
Speaker 1: this specific moment, even with the tough situation around him.
Speaker 1: He didn't do that. No, you're absolutely correct, and he didn't.
Speaker 1: Let's let's say that first, he didn't get it done right.
Speaker 1: The things that you ask of a quarterback to do,
Speaker 1: he didn't get those things done. Boom, all right, that's
Speaker 1: set out there. Now let's talk about the offensive line.
Speaker 1: Offensive line was scared. They needed some baby wipes after
Speaker 1: the game. Right, These boys were scared. They were nervous
Speaker 1: like purpose. Okay, as I would like to say, these
Speaker 1: dudes was coming and they were coming fast, right, and
Speaker 1: let's talk about the Peterson and those guys. They weren't
Speaker 1: giving these guys any space. They weren't getting any fast,
Speaker 1: I thought. Byron Murphy. Byron Murphy bought out right. So
Speaker 1: you know if people were talking about, oh, you know,
Speaker 1: Arizona's not the best defense. No, they're not the best defense,
Speaker 1: but guess what they sure played like it last night. Right,
Speaker 1: these boys were all up in dudes face, and we
Speaker 1: said that they were gonna put hands on these guys
Speaker 1: and make make it hard for these guys not only
Speaker 1: get open, but to make catches right. And even when
Speaker 1: they had opportunity to make catches, they didn't catch the
Speaker 1: ball right. So that you know, when Andy Dalton was
Speaker 1: on point, these guys didn't make plays for him. Right now,
Speaker 1: for one reason or another. Now, what everybody's talking about
Speaker 1: Dak Old, Dak would have been able to, you know,
Speaker 1: get off the pocket and make more plays. How many
Speaker 1: times y'all? How many times? How many times where Deak
Speaker 1: have got out the pocket and throwing the ball? Let's
Speaker 1: be real about this, right, Yeah, Dak might have got
Speaker 1: out you know, So are we talking about two? Were
Speaker 1: talking about two, three, four plays. We threw the ball
Speaker 1: fifty four times. That's less than Dak had been thrown it. Yeah, right,
Speaker 1: Dak had been thrown a fifty seven times. Yeah, I know. So,
Speaker 1: like what, you're right, but they just you're right. But
Speaker 1: they needed they needed a couple of different chunk plays.
Speaker 1: If they could have, if he could have been in
Speaker 1: the game and hit a couple of big plays, that's
Speaker 1: what they were missing. They didn't have anything down. Their
Speaker 1: longest completion was twenty seven yards. I think he might
Speaker 1: have been able to give him a couple of those
Speaker 1: uh to move him down the field. I'm not disagreeing
Speaker 1: with you. I think for sure we were in agreement
Speaker 1: all last week that that Andy can step in and
Speaker 1: do the job and and and they didn't do enough
Speaker 1: around him to help him. Um, but especially were talking
Speaker 1: about different We talked about dropping touchdown. I know it
Speaker 1: was just was one play, but that's, oh yeah, that
Speaker 1: huge play. Right, when you're talking about somebody who's trying
Speaker 1: to step into somebody else's shoes, I don't care what
Speaker 1: your name is, he trying to step into somebody else's
Speaker 1: shoes who have been balling out right, and you find
Speaker 1: you're you're struggling to get your feet underneath you, right
Speaker 1: the old line, struggling to protect and you finally get
Speaker 1: a ball out right that's on the money. You get
Speaker 1: a drive going, and that's that is so demoralizing. When
Speaker 1: somebody drops a touchdown, easy touchdown, right, it kills you.
Speaker 1: It absolutely kills you. The one opportunity you have to
Speaker 1: get a little bit of confidence. I don't care if
Speaker 1: it was Heckma coming off the bench playing quarterback, right,
Speaker 1: is if you finally got that play, you're struggling, stuggle, struggle,
Speaker 1: and you're like, man, oh here he goes right here
Speaker 1: and the dude drops it. Crap. If if we can't
Speaker 1: get this right, it's gonna be a long night. And
Speaker 1: I think and and the first drive out of the
Speaker 1: out of halftime Kyle referenced it earlier where it's a
Speaker 1: trip and fall situation, it's that's probably a PI. They
Speaker 1: didn't call it. Probably Yeah, that's that's your chance to
Speaker 1: come out of halftime and try to get something going
Speaker 1: and just nothing. You're right, nothing nothing went his way.
Speaker 1: It was one of those nights. And Steve Levee even
Speaker 1: talked about it on the broadcast, and I think he
Speaker 1: said that over and over and over again. That's just
Speaker 1: how things are going for the cow Boys tonight. Hopefully
Speaker 1: they'll go better as we move into Week seven and
Speaker 1: we'll break down with the Washington football team of teams
Speaker 1: in football clubs and whatnot, come in the town or
Speaker 1: actually we go to their town this week in Week
Speaker 1: seven and NFC East battle. The Cowboys are still in
Speaker 1: first place right now, but I don't think anybody wants
Speaker 1: to hear this. Hear that at the moment of two
Speaker 1: and four at one hurts a little bit even to
Speaker 1: say at this point, but that's gonna do it. Here
Speaker 1: for talking Cowboys today. We'll be back with more tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Join us nine thirty on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and
Speaker 1: the various streaming platforms. But for Isaiah standback, for Rob Phillips,
Speaker 1: Heck Maharrison, and Chris Beam in the Backum Kyle Yeoman
Speaker 1: saying so long from the star in Frisco. We'll see
Speaker 1: you tomorrow. This has been a production of Dallas Cowboys
Speaker 1: dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
