Speaker 9: Oh, you can disrespect them all.
Speaker 1: No, we can't respect it.
Speaker 9: I mean unless you know you're really there's a disrespect
Speaker 9: roller coasters.
Speaker 1: You know, don't you do it? I know, I know.
Speaker 1: We're excited. I know we're excited.
Speaker 4: We got to stop talking over each other, guys, we
Speaker 4: were talking over each other a lot.
Speaker 1: Let's get started. The news and notes.
Speaker 4: Oh, people are going to be lost by the time
Speaker 4: they listen to this in the audience anyway, All.
Speaker 7: Right, news and notes. Injury updates all positive as far
Speaker 7: as returning to practice this week. The moon Clark dealt
Speaker 7: with a knee injury, obviously on the back training camp.
Speaker 7: He was back at practice on Monday, as was one
Speaker 7: year Thomas with what was described initially as a minor
Speaker 7: growing issue turned out to be exactly that. Israel Mkwamou
Speaker 7: was absent last week in practice after having returned for
Speaker 7: the preseason finale, but he was back in practice on
Speaker 7: yesterday as the Cowboys get ramped up for week one
Speaker 7: baby against these Cleveland Browns. Mike McCarthy gave two updates.
Speaker 7: No injury news on CD LAMB, which is positive, but
Speaker 7: as far as ramping Cede Lamb up, Mike McCarthy says,
Speaker 7: the Cowboys expect they'll quote unquote be where they need
Speaker 7: to be by the end of this week.
Speaker 1: He continues to look good.
Speaker 7: They have him on a pitch counting practice and they're
Speaker 7: ramping him up with every single practice. So he practiced
Speaker 7: a bit on Monday, We'll practice more on Wednesday, more
Speaker 7: on Thursday, and then that much more so at the
Speaker 7: end of the week. No concerns on Brandon Cook's.
Speaker 4: Real quick before we move to Brandon based off of
Speaker 4: what you've seen so far out of CD LAMB, the first.
Speaker 1: Couple practices where it was completely open.
Speaker 4: But there weren't any pads, and then now the media
Speaker 4: portions of practice where you really don't get to see
Speaker 4: a whole lot. Have you seen anything from CD to
Speaker 4: this point or is it kind.
Speaker 1: Of an unknown to the media.
Speaker 7: What I have seen has given me comfort because not
Speaker 7: only does he look great as we've seen and he's
Speaker 7: added some lean muscle, but he's moving extremely well. He's
Speaker 7: moving with quickness. He's moving with speed. They've had to
Speaker 7: turn him down a couple times in practices because he
Speaker 7: wanted to go full of speed and they're like, whoa there, youngster,
Speaker 7: we got to make sure that you're wrapped up the
Speaker 7: right way so that you don't know, suffer a soft
Speaker 7: tissue issue going into Cleveland. So he's moving, you know,
Speaker 7: at a fantastic click. He looks like the best version
Speaker 7: of Ceedee Lamb. So just need that to continue. Keeping
Speaker 7: with the Cowboys wide receivers Wide receivers, Mike McCarthy said,
Speaker 7: there are a quote unquote no concerns on Brandon Cooks.
Speaker 7: We know Brandon Cooks that with some nie soreness on
Speaker 7: the back end of training camp, missed some practices due
Speaker 7: to that, another couple of practices due to personal issues
Speaker 7: that were not related. But he was back in full
Speaker 7: pads last week as a matter of fact for Cowboys
Speaker 7: Night and he is definitely a full go as we
Speaker 7: have this conversation. So great news there. As far as
Speaker 7: depth chart news, Kayln Carson requested to change his number
Speaker 7: to twenty one. That broke the internet. We spoke to
Speaker 7: the rookie about that yesterday, but Mike McCarthy also wildly
Speaker 7: unexpected news coming.
Speaker 1: You're ready, You're ready, You're ready. What is it? Cooper
Speaker 1: Rush's quarterback? Too? Oh breaking?
Speaker 4: I thought you were about to say, like Dak requested
Speaker 4: to change his number, and then Zeke went back to
Speaker 4: twenty one, and then Kayln Carson and him.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 7: There were a lot of Cowboys fans that were wondering
Speaker 7: if Trey Lance had done enough, even with the five
Speaker 7: interception game that we talked about, if he had done enough,
Speaker 7: shown enough to be a QB two for the Cowboys,
Speaker 7: and Mike McCarthy put that to bed. He did praise
Speaker 7: Trey Lance for the progression that he made over his
Speaker 7: three preseason games, but McCarthy made it unequivocal that Cooper
Speaker 7: Rush is definitely QB two for twenty twenty four.
Speaker 4: Thank goodness, we got that settled, got that out of
Speaker 4: the way. Why do you hate the number change thing.
Speaker 9: For the audio listeners?
Speaker 1: Yeah face? Why did it bother you so? Like somebody
Speaker 1: just like kicked his dog, Like I.
Speaker 8: Would have liked to have seen Kayln Carson get past
Speaker 8: Marie Cooper before it changed his number.
Speaker 1: To Deon Sanders.
Speaker 7: Well, speaking with the young man yesterday, he said, that's
Speaker 7: not why he changed it.
Speaker 8: I don't I understand that. Yeah, doesn't take away the
Speaker 8: fact that it's the number. Listen, let's not add like
Speaker 8: the numbers with the star don't have some affiliation and
Speaker 8: some weight that comes with it.
Speaker 4: So let's let's deal more ward twenty one last year
Speaker 4: will be all the favors, So like, let's let's not
Speaker 4: let's put some respect respects to do.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he might go out there and show out.
Speaker 8: All I'm saying is I would like to see the
Speaker 8: young fella put some film out there before he changes
Speaker 8: his number to somebody one of the greatest of all times.
Speaker 8: How much the time have we spent on this show
Speaker 8: talking about the weight that eighty eight carries eighty twenty two,
Speaker 8: Like there's there's certain numbers.
Speaker 4: Well, nobody's wearing twenty three three, everybody's winning.
Speaker 8: But I'm saying, like there's certain numbers around here that
Speaker 8: when you put it on, you got to show up.
Speaker 1: But everybody's wearing like thirty three.
Speaker 7: I get what you're saying, and you're not wrong, and
Speaker 7: that's why it broke the internet on that side of
Speaker 7: the because it's a rookie cornerback who's about to start
Speaker 7: now all be due to injury, and then he moves
Speaker 7: from forty one to twenty one.
Speaker 1: Do what you want to do.
Speaker 8: I just personally, I would like to see him get
Speaker 8: past Mark Cooper first.
Speaker 7: No, No, I want to see the confidence before, not
Speaker 7: after the fact. Like it hits different if it exists beforehand, you.
Speaker 1: Know what I mean.
Speaker 9: But much like.
Speaker 7: The young man, Kaylen, Carson will be more than all right,
Speaker 7: seat belt, Carson will be more than al right. Does
Speaker 7: that mean he will walk out there and you know,
Speaker 7: shut down into Mary Cooper.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that.
Speaker 7: I will say this, expect some help for Mariy Cooper
Speaker 7: and covering the Mark Cooper no matter what side of
Speaker 7: the field he's Let's put it that way. Kyl Carson
Speaker 7: will have a solid game, though, I just.
Speaker 4: Don't I don't know, guys, I don't know if we're
Speaker 4: stretching here. I mean, here's the names of guys that
Speaker 4: have worn twenty one since Dion left, Lynn Scott, Derek Ross,
Speaker 4: Julius Jones, Adam Jones, Mike Jenkins, Joseph Randall, Terrence Mitchell, Ezekiel.
Speaker 1: Elliott, and Stefan Gilmour.
Speaker 4: Let's not pretend like that one is a number on
Speaker 4: that side of the Mike Jenkins Hearnce Mitchell in twenty fifteen.
Speaker 4: I mean, let's not get carried away here.
Speaker 8: Changing two.
Speaker 1: Does Caitlyn Carson have to step up this year?
Speaker 8: There's logistics that going on with changing two. What's different
Speaker 8: receive it.
Speaker 7: What's funny about that is you're saying, and actually I agree,
Speaker 7: certain numbers do carry more weight, right, But it's funny
Speaker 7: because when I asked about it yesterday, he said the
Speaker 7: reason he changed wasn't necessarily because of Dion. He said,
Speaker 7: I don't want to get into all of that. That's
Speaker 7: that's not the reason.
Speaker 1: He said.
Speaker 7: It's because the forty one felt heavy on him and
Speaker 7: the twenty one feels lighter. So good, interesting, feel good.
Speaker 7: More pressure is lighter on this young man. You know,
Speaker 7: I like, I like this dude. This dude is a dog.
Speaker 4: Sell Carson, Baby.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I can do the Georgia thing.
Speaker 1: They look good by the way week one, they look good.
Speaker 4: Draft first, he listen, it was against the top twenty
Speaker 4: team and they beat him.
Speaker 1: Third. The standard is the standard. Kyle.
Speaker 4: I'm just saying, all right, real quickly before we get
Speaker 4: into some predictions here, yeah, seventy. Before we get into
Speaker 4: some predictions, I want to give you guys an opportunity
Speaker 4: get your calls ready. We are going to talk to
Speaker 4: Cowboys Nation today eight eight, eight five five two two
Speaker 4: nine seven eight eight eight eight five five two two
Speaker 4: nine seven.
Speaker 1: We'll take your call starting in the second segment.
Speaker 4: But it is the final show before the ramp into
Speaker 4: the week, right because Wednesday we're gonna preview Cowboys offense.
Speaker 4: Then we're gonna preview Cowboys defense on Thursday, and then Friday,
Speaker 4: it's to say with Chest Friday, and we'll have some
Speaker 4: extra predictions in terms.
Speaker 1: Of the game going into it. But since it's the final.
Speaker 4: Real push into week one, let's give some predictions on
Speaker 4: how the season is gonna get it started. The question today,
Speaker 4: by the way, for those that are calling in, is
Speaker 4: going to be how many games will the Cowboys win
Speaker 4: this season? This panel will give their answer in the
Speaker 4: third segment. But let's start with some individuals. I've got
Speaker 4: some over unders for you, and this is the the
Speaker 4: Kyle Yeomans Scorebook.
Speaker 1: Over under. This is not from Vegas. This is not
Speaker 1: from anything.
Speaker 9: Definitely not from Vegas.
Speaker 1: Definitely not from Vegas. Have you looked at it compared
Speaker 1: to it yet? No? I haven't either.
Speaker 9: I'm in touch anything Vegans. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6: No, this is from the Kyle Yeomans Sports book because
Speaker 6: the gambling, what is gambling?
Speaker 1: I don't even know. I don't even know what it ish.
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, of course, he.
Speaker 9: Had a phenomenal year last year.
Speaker 1: Was second in MVP voting.
Speaker 4: He has the old time Cowboys single season touchdown record
Speaker 4: with thirty seven previously thirty four and a half touchdowns.
Speaker 4: Do you think Dak hits thirty five touchdowns or not?
Speaker 4: Over under Isaiah under why is that?
Speaker 8: I have just I just have concerns about this receivers
Speaker 8: group's ability to stay healthy.
Speaker 1: For an entire year.
Speaker 8: We've already seen some soft tissue stuff out of that
Speaker 8: group already. We have somebody else coming back, and we're
Speaker 8: expecting him to just walk back into the same state
Speaker 8: that he was in prior to taking off all of
Speaker 8: carany camp. I think it's kind of hefty to put
Speaker 8: that on that group right now, and if you have
Speaker 8: one guy missing, that group at all. That group takes
Speaker 8: a tremendous hit. So I'm not sure that it's not
Speaker 8: as less about daxability as more about that room and
Speaker 8: can they stay healthy. And there's not enough room for error,
Speaker 8: you know what I'm saying. There's not enough fluff there
Speaker 8: in order for them to be able to take the
Speaker 8: blow of one person going down in that position, one
Speaker 8: of their two primary guys.
Speaker 1: I agree with you.
Speaker 4: I think if Cooks is hurt, it changes the dynamic
Speaker 4: of the offense. I think if Ceedee Lamb has hurt,
Speaker 4: of course it's a complete game changer. But he had
Speaker 4: thirty seven touchdowns in twenty twenty one when he played
Speaker 4: all sixteen games. Each of the last two seasons, he's
Speaker 4: played every game, or at least should have played every game,
Speaker 4: he's had at least thirty six touchdowns because he had
Speaker 4: thirty six last year to lead the league. It's possible
Speaker 4: even with one of those guys. Without CD, it's not possible.
Speaker 4: I think even if Cooks goes down, I think Dak
Speaker 4: can still get close to thirty five scores through the air.
Speaker 1: I do.
Speaker 4: I just I think he's that good of a quarterback
Speaker 4: and he's been that element of the offense.
Speaker 1: I'm going over on this one.
Speaker 6: I think Dak is going to throw more tds, but
Speaker 6: I also think it's gonna be it's gonna lead to
Speaker 6: more interceptions this year than last year as well. I
Speaker 6: think it's gonna get closer to that ten than he
Speaker 6: did last year. I think he ended up with eight
Speaker 6: last year, nine on the year because I think the
Speaker 6: running game is not exactly a strength on our team
Speaker 6: right now, at least you know, thus far, we really
Speaker 6: got to see how that will works, especially with the
Speaker 6: new offensive line. But I think the receivers without Ceedee
Speaker 6: Lamb at camp, I think they got in a lot
Speaker 6: of Obviously, they got a lot of work with Dak.
Speaker 6: A lot of chemistry was built there. You'll see Jalen Tolbert,
Speaker 6: You'll see Turby Turby Speed.
Speaker 9: Speed, and in Ceede's Lamb's absence.
Speaker 6: I think the chemistry was built there, and I think
Speaker 6: they will get more play this year than last year.
Speaker 7: Obviously, you know, I was My initial reaction was to
Speaker 7: go under because my thought process behind that was, you know,
Speaker 7: you have a rebuild offensive line, Your offensive line presumably
Speaker 7: is going to perform better, and that in and of itself,
Speaker 7: regardless of who's taking the handoffs, that should improve your
Speaker 7: running game.
Speaker 1: So if your running game is better, then you know.
Speaker 7: Turn down the passing game a little bit because it
Speaker 7: gets closer to balance. But then going back to a
Speaker 7: cow started talking about twenty twenty one, Ezekiel Elliott was
Speaker 7: a thousand yard rusher in twenty twenty one. So if
Speaker 7: the Cowboys had that type of production and Dak Prescott
Speaker 7: still put up thirty seven touchdowns because he spread the
Speaker 7: ball around to three top targets with Dalton Schultz and
Speaker 7: Amari Cooper and Ceedee Lamb, and those guys amounted for
Speaker 7: almost three thousand yards, I don't see why that wouldn't
Speaker 7: happen again, especially in a situation where we talked to
Speaker 7: Dak Prescott Brandon Cooks about this a lot this offseason.
Speaker 7: What's the level of comfort going into year two of
Speaker 7: Mike McCarthy's playmaking and playbook and they all said, it's
Speaker 7: not heavy installs anymore. Now, it's just go out there
Speaker 7: and play free. You know the assignments, you know everybody
Speaker 7: needs to be So when you add that aspect to
Speaker 7: it as well, I don't see why outside of injury,
Speaker 7: I don't see a reason that Dak Prescott should be
Speaker 7: under thirty four and a half. I see all the
Speaker 7: reasons that he should again be thirty six, thirty seven,
Speaker 7: maybe even thirty eight touchdowns. I'm not more. I'm not
Speaker 7: too much worried about injuries because Ceedee Lamb has been durable.
Speaker 7: Brandon Cooks, outside of what he's dealt with some niece
Speaker 7: sollness over the course of his career, he's been durable.
Speaker 7: Jake Ferguson has been durable. And who were the names
Speaker 7: I just mentioned in twenty twenty one, a Mark Cooper,
Speaker 7: Ceedee Lamb, and Dalton Shokes wide receiver one, wide receiver
Speaker 7: two tight end one. Okay, Ceedee Lamb, Brandon Cooks, Jake Ferguson.
Speaker 7: It's all lined up for you.
Speaker 1: Okay, I like it.
Speaker 4: What about Ceedee Lamb, since we're on that topic of conversation,
Speaker 4: he had a one hundred and thirty five receptions last year,
Speaker 4: so I set the over under at one thirty four
Speaker 4: point five. Do you think he has a better year
Speaker 4: receptions wise? Of course he led the league in that category.
Speaker 4: Or do you think he said sees a step back, Josh.
Speaker 1: I'm good.
Speaker 6: I'm going under for CD, he didn't get a full
Speaker 6: offseason to ramp up.
Speaker 9: I think that's going to show in Week one.
Speaker 6: I think we were talking about that too, where it's
Speaker 6: like you might not see the receptions or yards necessarily.
Speaker 9: There for them, a lot of decoy, a lot.
Speaker 6: I mean they're gonna be scheming up for CD, obviously,
Speaker 6: every team is, and I think they have to do
Speaker 6: that more than they did last year because of the
Speaker 6: output that he had last year. But I think that
Speaker 6: does lead to more windows opportunity for floy Tolbert and Turpy.
Speaker 1: Like we said, Speedee, like you said.
Speaker 6: Like we collectively said whenever you brought up the name Speedee,
Speaker 6: and I was like, honestly, man, it didn't really catch
Speaker 6: off for me.
Speaker 9: But honestly, the more.
Speaker 1: And more, the more and more we say it, it's
Speaker 1: gonna catch on. Catch What do you think that?
Speaker 8: Like Boler point five for CD, people are gonna call
Speaker 8: me hater, but I'm gonna say no, okay, And I
Speaker 8: don't really hate. Why don't that make you a hater
Speaker 8: because people don't just hater. I don't really care. But
Speaker 8: I think I would love to see CD continue on
Speaker 8: this pace of just continuous growth every single year, number wise, catches, attempts, yards, touchdowns,
Speaker 8: all that stuff is literally just been on a what's
Speaker 8: the prices right now?
Speaker 1: I knew you're about to say that, you know a
Speaker 1: mountain climber there, you don't fall off.
Speaker 8: The clif I would love to see it. I just
Speaker 8: I'm not going to put that pressure to expect that
Speaker 8: of him, even with this new contract. I just don't
Speaker 8: expect that to be the case. It has nothing to
Speaker 8: do with how teams are going to approach him, has
Speaker 8: nothing to do with his abilities. I just think that
Speaker 8: it's hard to continue to stay on that continuous pace
Speaker 8: year after year after year.
Speaker 1: Agreed.
Speaker 7: And I also think that this is a situation where
Speaker 7: we just talked about how Brandon Cooks can impact this
Speaker 7: Cowboys team going forward. Got off to a slow start,
Speaker 7: and Mike McCarthy's playbook and scheme last season before kind
Speaker 7: of heating up, never really caught fire, but kind of
Speaker 7: heat it up. I'm assuming that Brandon Cooks is going
Speaker 7: to catch fire, and probably earlier then later, and that
Speaker 7: means that Dak Prescott's going to spread the ball around
Speaker 7: quite a bit more. They're not going to be as
Speaker 7: dependent on Ceedee Lamb needing to put up the reception
Speaker 7: numbers in the yardage that he put up last year.
Speaker 7: So while he is absolutely still capable of doing so,
Speaker 7: I do expect to turn down and only because Brandon
Speaker 7: Cooks will turn up more and Jake Ferguson will turn
Speaker 7: up more.
Speaker 1: We talked about.
Speaker 7: I think Jake Ferguson is in line for a possible
Speaker 7: All Pro season and that happening. Obviously, it's only one
Speaker 7: ball to go around. And then if you're talking about
Speaker 7: the run game improving as well because of the offensive
Speaker 7: line and now you're handing off the ball a little
Speaker 7: bit more and more effectively, Yeah, I think Ceede Lamb's
Speaker 7: still going to be an absolute monster, still a first
Speaker 7: team All Pro.
Speaker 1: But give me the under on this one, all right.
Speaker 4: Micah Parsons thirteen and a half sacks. That's kind of
Speaker 4: been his number the last three years, and he's been
Speaker 4: incredible in terms of providing that pressure but actually getting
Speaker 4: home to the quarterback. Of course, we've talked about it already.
Speaker 4: To drop off gets more steep as the season goes on.
Speaker 1: Pat, I'll start with you on this one. Thirteen and
Speaker 1: a half sacks for Micah over under.
Speaker 7: I'm going over talk about trajectory, Isaiah. It's different from
Speaker 7: Mike than it is for CD, where it's been up
Speaker 7: explode right. For Micah, it's been this steady. It's thirteen,
Speaker 7: it's thirteen and a half, it's fourteen. And now he
Speaker 7: gets in a system with Mike Zimmer who allows him
Speaker 7: to be more versatile, which means you're not going to
Speaker 7: be able to know every time where he's coming off
Speaker 7: for the ball. So I think that unpredictability is going
Speaker 7: to lead to more opportunities to get in his hands
Speaker 7: on the opposing quarterback. And even if he just turns
Speaker 7: it up to fourteen and a half, I mean, the
Speaker 7: trajectory is undeniable. So it's hard to go from thirteen,
Speaker 7: thirteen and a half fourteen and then suddenly I only
Speaker 7: see him getting ten, eleven, twelve, and he's still very
Speaker 7: much in his prime and improving with his quickness and speed.
Speaker 7: So now I'm going to go over on this one.
Speaker 6: I think, Joshua, let's go with the under on this one.
Speaker 6: I think the double teams will be.
Speaker 1: More wow wow, Oh, so I need to do it.
Speaker 6: I think the double teams on Michael will be more
Speaker 6: prominent this year. And I also think he has a
Speaker 6: new role within the defense. He's not just rushing the
Speaker 6: pastor right. You have him lining lining up in linebackers
Speaker 6: certain schemes. So I think that along with getting more
Speaker 6: opportunities for Nieland and d law throughout the season, I
Speaker 6: think d laws sack number is going to go up
Speaker 6: this year.
Speaker 5: I like that.
Speaker 6: And then of course you have Marshall Nieland who's hungry.
Speaker 6: He's he's going to get out there. And yeah, granted
Speaker 6: I think the number ninety four. Yeah, interesting how that happens.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was surprised by that, honestly.
Speaker 8: It really was like that was a talented rookie.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's not.
Speaker 8: He's not the d n Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think I'm just calling how I'll see it.
Speaker 9: It's fair.
Speaker 6: Albeit, I think we've unless we've proven that we can
Speaker 6: stop the run, you're not going to see as many
Speaker 6: sack numbers this year, if that makes sense.
Speaker 8: Fair you're also doing this, by the way, it's point
Speaker 8: all right, I'm going with under just from their perspective
Speaker 8: of again, has nothing to do with his talent or
Speaker 8: his abilities. I just don't think that the defensive imposition
Speaker 8: is the star of the show in this defense. The
Speaker 8: linebackers are the star or the show in this defense?
Speaker 1: What are those so?
Speaker 8: Yeah, I don't dan Quinn was going to scheme up
Speaker 8: matchups based upon his best player period point point, like
Speaker 8: whoever is my dog, Like, go eat, I'm gonna put
Speaker 8: you in a position to win. That's why he saw
Speaker 8: when Micah was standing up and he was over the center.
Speaker 8: It's because he you know, they had widened out the
Speaker 8: formation in terms of the D line, and they're getting
Speaker 8: ISOs with the center versus Micah Like that was dan
Speaker 8: Quinn's thing. I have not seen through training camp coach
Speaker 8: Zimmer do that just yet. Now he might have a
Speaker 8: whole bag of tricks that he's ready to unleash. But
Speaker 8: based upon what I've seen, I see that the linebackers
Speaker 8: are featured here. That's not to say that that that
Speaker 8: he's that Mike is not gonna eat. He's still gonna
Speaker 8: win his matchups on the edge all that stuff. He's
Speaker 8: still gonna be himself. I just don't know if he'll
Speaker 8: have as many opportunities because of what you mentioned in
Speaker 8: terms of the scheme things that we have seen to date,
Speaker 8: any indications he's gonna be walking off the ball, he's
Speaker 8: gonna be playing linebackers. He's gonna be, you know, walked
Speaker 8: up into a gaps. He's gonna be asked to drop
Speaker 8: out in the coverage. So I think you'll be seeing
Speaker 8: an expanded role from him, and I think they're gonna
Speaker 8: be asking more of him to do more things in
Speaker 8: the defense outside of just beating his one on one matchups.
Speaker 4: I think the one thing with Micah that makes me
Speaker 4: believe the over as possible is kind of like what
Speaker 4: you guys are both talking about in different ways.
Speaker 1: The versatility and the thought process is that you never
Speaker 1: know where he's coming from. First off.
Speaker 4: Secondly, all it's gonna take for Micah to elevate above
Speaker 4: the sack numbers that he's already have or already has,
Speaker 4: is by having success in November and December and January hopefully.
Speaker 4: So I think if he does add imagine if he
Speaker 4: adds two or three sacks in November and December, which
Speaker 4: is not asking a ton for one of the best
Speaker 4: edge rushers and pass rushers in NFL right in the
Speaker 4: NFL right now, almost like college football.
Speaker 1: That's where the mindset's been in the past Weekend we
Speaker 1: are so bad. I hope we are so bad.
Speaker 4: But in the NFL right now, I think Micah can
Speaker 4: get there. So I'm gonna say over. I think he
Speaker 4: may squeak over maybe like a fifteen, which is still
Speaker 4: a phenomenal season by any stretch, but I think he
Speaker 4: can get the over all, right final one before we
Speaker 4: take our first break. Trayvon Diggs throughout his career, he
Speaker 4: has eighteen interceptions.
Speaker 1: It's about six on average per season.
Speaker 4: I mean, of course, he didn't really have a season
Speaker 4: last year because he only had the two games before
Speaker 4: he got hurt, but he did have a.
Speaker 1: Pick in those two games. So we'll set it at
Speaker 1: five and a half.
Speaker 4: Do you think Trayvon Diggs hits his season average of
Speaker 4: six interceptions or do you think he goes under?
Speaker 1: Over Over, You're not a hater anymore, not a hater anymore.
Speaker 8: I think that the cornerback position is going to be
Speaker 8: asked to less work. They're going to be asked to
Speaker 8: do less working, be gifted more opportunities.
Speaker 1: I'm going over as well.
Speaker 7: I think that I think Trayvon is coming in with
Speaker 7: a chip on his shoulder, so obviously give him a
Speaker 7: little bit of grace over the first couple of weeks
Speaker 7: to get his sea legs back as far as coming
Speaker 7: back from the twin Aco but I think mindset wise,
Speaker 7: he wants to come out and number one, prove that
Speaker 7: he's still the best ball hawking cornerback in the league.
Speaker 7: But also there's going to be that added motivation when
Speaker 7: Deron Blank comes back. They're going to be playing off
Speaker 7: of each other. He gets a pick, oh, I want
Speaker 7: to get a pick too. He gets a pick, Oh,
Speaker 7: I want to get a pick too, And they're going
Speaker 7: to play off of each other. So all things considered,
Speaker 7: I think before it's all said and done, I'll take
Speaker 7: Traylon dis I'll.
Speaker 1: Do you want better. I'll give you a number. Okay,
Speaker 1: give me a number. Give me.
Speaker 7: Seven interceptions for Traylon Diggs and two pick sixes.
Speaker 1: Wow, Okay, I'm down with that.
Speaker 9: I would love that. But when you saw him last year.
Speaker 6: When you saw him last year, I thought that he
Speaker 6: had improved the physicality of his game. He was getting
Speaker 6: in there, stripping the ball. I liked his ability to
Speaker 6: tackle last year and like it was on a trajector
Speaker 6: where he was going to have his best season life.
Speaker 8: First pick six was because of him exactly.
Speaker 6: It was looking that way, it was it was trending
Speaker 6: that way, and I think he's going to get back
Speaker 6: to that. I think we're going to see a more
Speaker 6: physical Trayvon Diggs than we've seen him in years past.
Speaker 6: And I think that also opens up more opportunities, like
Speaker 6: I've said before, for Kaylen Carson and for Jordan Lewis too.
Speaker 6: I think Jordan Lewis Is it's gonna make sure that
Speaker 6: it's gonna be really hard to complete those slot passes, uh,
Speaker 6: which opens opportunities for Trayvon. You know, it's it's all,
Speaker 6: it's all, it's all a thing. So I'm give me
Speaker 6: the over on this. I'm gonna go seven interceptions for
Speaker 6: Trayvon did.
Speaker 1: I'll leave it now. One one more thing.
Speaker 7: The safety unit, right, you have safeties that are elite
Speaker 7: and playing.
Speaker 1: By side, sideline, the sideline.
Speaker 7: And in coverage you got Malie Hooker, one gave Thomas
Speaker 7: Marquise Bell. Donald plays a bit more forward than Downhill,
Speaker 7: but you have at least three great coverage safeties. They're
Speaker 7: gonna make it difficult to stretch the field, so that's
Speaker 7: gonna shrink the field by default. And that's gonna make
Speaker 7: you the quarterback throwing at tightle windows against a guy
Speaker 7: like Treylon Diggs. A tight window against Treyvon Diggs is
Speaker 7: likely an interception for Sue.
Speaker 1: So I like it the Safeties are gonna eat this year.
Speaker 8: Yeah, just because I'm looking forward to seeing Trayvon Diggs
Speaker 8: again expand his role.
Speaker 1: Last year, he expanded.
Speaker 8: His physicality, right, that was something that he added to
Speaker 8: his tool belt.
Speaker 1: He was he was thumping last year.
Speaker 8: Now I think they're going to especially coming off the injury,
Speaker 8: I think they're gonna play a lot more zone. Zimmer
Speaker 8: is his own guy, who he likes man, but he's
Speaker 8: his own guy. And I think that now you'll see
Speaker 8: Trayvon add the cloud. You'll start seeing him add that
Speaker 8: the trap, uh the trap aspect of the zone coverages.
Speaker 8: And I think he's going to become a lot more
Speaker 8: versatile in that sense. Not to say that he wasn't
Speaker 8: able to, but it wasn't being asked of him. So
Speaker 8: now that technique is going to be taught, and again
Speaker 8: that's just another tool that he'll add to his tool belt.
Speaker 8: And once he starts learning how to mess around with
Speaker 8: leverage and start making you guys think he's playing man,
Speaker 8: but he turns back around and playing his own and
Speaker 8: he brings on the ability to hit. You're gonna see
Speaker 8: a complete cornerback really kind of come to fruition.
Speaker 4: So what you're saying is on one side, wearing the
Speaker 4: number twenty one, we've got seat belt Carson, and on
Speaker 4: the opposite side roaring number seven is two belt trayvon
Speaker 4: as what we've got.
Speaker 1: That's what we've got going off the tool belt.
Speaker 8: What kind of harness are we wanting with the seatbelt?
Speaker 1: Is it a five point?
Speaker 8: Is it a five point harness?
Speaker 1: Is I would have like to see?
Speaker 8: I want to see it. I like what I saw
Speaker 8: in portions of the preseason, but I just want to.
Speaker 1: And there's there's some dogs now you see it.
Speaker 7: You haven't seen it, But I will say that what
Speaker 7: I have seen from Kayln Carson invokes plenty of confidence
Speaker 7: that he can hold down the fort, at minimum hold
Speaker 7: down the fort in the absence of dron Blant.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's.
Speaker 7: Going to go out there and he's going to get
Speaker 7: an interception in the first you know, three or four
Speaker 7: games that he's played, but I think a lot of
Speaker 7: people are going to get big eyed. When they see
Speaker 7: how physical and how steaky he is in coverage he is.
Speaker 7: They call him seat belt for a reason, and I've
Speaker 7: seen that he translated one's.
Speaker 4: Going to get burned once or twice early, it's going
Speaker 4: to happen.
Speaker 8: It's going to happen.
Speaker 1: He's by fire exactly.
Speaker 8: The one thing I like about Kayln Carson that I
Speaker 8: saw in camp, the times that he got beat, he
Speaker 8: was able to literally etch and sketch it away. Yeah,
Speaker 8: etching sketches it. He right back to the drawing board
Speaker 8: and he's he's on to the next player. I like
Speaker 8: that he has a short memory in that regard. And
Speaker 8: then he's competitive, right, He's very competitive. Most cornerbacks are, right,
Speaker 8: they're chippy their mouth, Ye, they're super competitive, and that's
Speaker 8: what he brings. So I like those those attributes about him.
Speaker 8: I just want to see him go out there and
Speaker 8: see how they're gonna utilize him versus some of these
Speaker 8: early weapons that he's gonna be facing. Because Trayvon's not
Speaker 8: gonna be switching sides, right, That's one thing we know
Speaker 8: to our knowledge, He's not gonna be switching side. So
Speaker 8: if I'm if I'm scheming up offense against a new defense.
Speaker 8: I'm gonna looking one side and say, okay, Trayvon, I'm
Speaker 8: gonna test him to see what his leg you know
Speaker 8: what his legs can do. Okay, Oh, here he's still Trayvon. Okay,
Speaker 8: let's go to the other side, Ricky.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, Gona, they definitely are. Let's take our first
Speaker 4: break when we come back, give us a call. Eight

Speaker 4: you very much. All right, let's go to the phone
Speaker 4: lines eight eight eight, eight, five, five, two two nine seven.
Speaker 1: We are so back because it is a talking Tuesday.
Speaker 4: Dan Oh in Florida, dan Oh, you're on Talking Cowboys.
Speaker 4: How many wins will the Cowboys have this season? Is
Speaker 4: our question of the day.
Speaker 13: Remember Daniel fourteen fourteen and three wow, I got forty three, okay,
Speaker 13: And the reason the reason is, I think we're going
Speaker 13: to be a team that's gonna be able to run
Speaker 13: the ball a lot better. Last year I thought got
Speaker 13: blown up a lot in the middle of the line.
Speaker 13: I think this guy Bbie is the next trave Is Frederick.
Speaker 13: I think Guan's gonna be uh. He's gonna hold his own,
Speaker 13: He's gonna have some grown pain. So I think the
Speaker 13: run game will be there. We have a top three
Speaker 13: quarterback in the NFL. We have a great wide receiving
Speaker 13: group with a ascending tight end who's going to be
Speaker 13: a beast, who's already a beast. And I think defensively,
Speaker 13: to me, it was time for Dan quinn ago two
Speaker 13: years ago. I think. I think defensively we're going to
Speaker 13: be better, which the scheme says them role play. I
Speaker 13: like the fact that he's got Micael playing a lot
Speaker 13: more off ball so he can go to both sides
Speaker 13: of the field. I agree with with the guy said
Speaker 13: with Isaiah and Patrick said, I think our secondary is
Speaker 13: going to be damn good. Uh. And I think we're
Speaker 13: gonna be plugging holes in the middle. I got us
Speaker 13: winning fourteen games, uh, and I feel good about it now.
Speaker 13: Last January I did pack up every well my cowboy gear,
Speaker 13: put him in a box Jarry Jones, and uh that
Speaker 13: was it. But that's what I have. Guys. I don't
Speaker 13: know what your thoughts are, but thanks. I feel good
Speaker 13: about this team. And I still think Mike and Carfy
Speaker 13: is a hell of a coach. So that's my nickel.
Speaker 1: There you go, Nickel, Dano appreciate it a little bit optimist.
Speaker 1: I like the optimism to start today. I like it.
Speaker 4: Dano and Florida always bringing it all right, who's next
Speaker 4: on our phone line as we continue eight eight eight
Speaker 4: eight five five two two nine seven, We've got Mike
Speaker 4: in New York talking about energy.
Speaker 1: Yo, Mike in New York, what's going on?
Speaker 13: Don't be picking on the Boys this year. We're gonna
Speaker 13: win eleven games. Guess what, We're gonna beat the.
Speaker 4: Chiefs in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 13: Brandon Audrey full of win with three seconds sixty JW
Speaker 13: York till go back Doublins winning the Super Bowl.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I'm glad. I gave like a little bit
Speaker 4: of a warning there, but I still wasn't ready for it.
Speaker 4: I had to take the headset off Mike with so
Speaker 4: much energy. We appreciate you as always.
Speaker 1: Mike in New York. Okay, we're two for two. I
Speaker 1: didn't think this segment would go this way. I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna lie to you, guys. Whenever I put it on
Speaker 1: the schedule, you just knew. I kind of thought it
Speaker 1: would go the opposite way. I thought there would be
Speaker 1: guys that were a little.
Speaker 4: Pessimistic about this team and girls that were a little
Speaker 4: pessimistic about this team, and two for two.
Speaker 7: They're probably on the line right now. Those on the
Speaker 7: opposite side of the coin.
Speaker 1: We think. So, oh yeah, Okay, let's track out with
Speaker 1: you a bit. Take this nice call.
Speaker 4: Let's try Gary in New Mexico. You're the next one
Speaker 4: up on Talking Cowboys. How many wins will the Cowboys.
Speaker 1: Have this year?
Speaker 14: Twelve or thirteen?
Speaker 8: Wow?
Speaker 1: K three for three? Why is it? Why do you
Speaker 1: think that way?
Speaker 14: I don't know that they've got a lot of talent.
Speaker 14: I mean, we get caught up in all this stuff
Speaker 14: that we talk about all the time, but you've got
Speaker 14: Pro Bowlers and All Pro players at almost every position
Speaker 14: group minus running back.
Speaker 1: Okay, and I'm.
Speaker 14: Different, you know, and I'm stone colls Over. When I
Speaker 14: tell you this, I am. I am a Mike McCarthy fan.
Speaker 14: I think he's done it. I think, considering what he
Speaker 14: has to work with with Jerry and Steven, I think
Speaker 14: Mike McCarthy's done a great job. Is he perfect?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 14: But man, we could do a whole lot worse at
Speaker 14: head coach. So yeah, I think.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 14: Did the Cowboys have a motto yet for this season?
Speaker 14: Have they released their saying.
Speaker 1: They'll reveal it later this week is what we've been told.
Speaker 1: So I haven't heard anything. Yeah?
Speaker 14: Can I can I share mind?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 14: Can I share my idea? I've got I've got one
Speaker 14: for the team, and I've got one for the fans.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 14: My motto for the fans is cautiously optimistic. That's how
Speaker 14: I am going into this season. I'm cautiously optimistic. And
Speaker 14: my motto for the team is real simple. Man, do better,
Speaker 14: Just do better, do better in big moments, every player,
Speaker 14: every coach, Just do a little bit better. This is
Speaker 14: a twelve win team, so yeah, I think they'll be fun.
Speaker 8: I like it. I think it a T shirt.
Speaker 13: I think it would because and it'll fit.
Speaker 14: It's not too complicated, and do better man, Thank y'all, thank.
Speaker 1: You so much.
Speaker 4: Good call out from the land of enchantment. Now, yeah,
Speaker 4: the last couple of years it was victory. It was
Speaker 4: when carpe Omnia last year, of course, and then.
Speaker 1: I would be okay with do better.
Speaker 7: I like to do better, you know what, because no
Speaker 7: matter no matter how they win the game, let's say
Speaker 7: it's a blowout or whatever, in favor of the Cowboys,
Speaker 7: still do better.
Speaker 1: Always be doing better. I like that it do better?
Speaker 4: All right, Bob and Rio grand Valley, We've got you
Speaker 4: on talking Cowboys.
Speaker 5: How many guys?
Speaker 1: How many wins for the Cowboys this year?
Speaker 5: At thirteen? I'm with the the guys that are already
Speaker 5: called in. And I'm gonna tell you my reason why
Speaker 5: am I thinking? Will McClay he does a job of
Speaker 5: getting talent on that team where he's drafting her free
Speaker 5: agency at the coaching staff, you don't get them any
Speaker 5: better than Mike. And he's done him a real job
Speaker 5: of surrounding himself with good coaching talent, which brings out
Speaker 5: the best.
Speaker 4: Would you say, Will mclu he eats Do you think
Speaker 4: he eats as a as a roster acquisition and as
Speaker 4: a as a a player?
Speaker 1: Personnel guy, I day you what he's topped or there
Speaker 1: you go?
Speaker 5: The best of the league very.
Speaker 1: Much so I like it. Appreciate the call.
Speaker 4: Thank there he goes, all right, may have time for
Speaker 4: one more, especially we're rolling through these yes, Josha and Chicago.
Speaker 4: You're a final call here on this talking Tuesday. How
Speaker 4: many wins for the Cowboys this year?
Speaker 15: Hey, guys, I'm honored. I'm going to say twelve and
Speaker 15: five in the regular season, four and oh in the postseason.
Speaker 1: Gosh, off the top row. Everybody's excited. I like it, Josh.
Speaker 1: Why why do you think that way?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 15: I just think like you guys were just saying they
Speaker 15: have a lot of blue chip players and spots and
Speaker 15: need them. Besides running back, I think we have a
Speaker 15: lot of really good depth and yeah, I just think
Speaker 15: they're going to go all the way though this year.
Speaker 1: Josh, I got a good radio voice. I like he does.
Speaker 15: I appreciate that, guys. I always feel that we missed
Speaker 15: out on Isaiah's standback a professional wrestler, though.
Speaker 1: I agree.
Speaker 4: I agree completely, and thank goodness he's a broadcaster.
Speaker 1: Because this is a face made for TV right here?
Speaker 1: How about that? Not for radio?
Speaker 4: All right, appreciate you very much. We five for five
Speaker 4: and optimism.
Speaker 6: I like Josh and Chicago, and Chicago was a real
Speaker 6: cult of personality.
Speaker 9: You know what I'm saying. He really nothing more for Patrick.
Speaker 9: But I like this guy. I like this guy.
Speaker 6: I like the optimism overall. I'm surprised, like you said, surprising, I.
Speaker 4: Am shocked that it was five for five twelve thirteen
Speaker 4: super Bowls. I mean, we have two Super Bowl calls
Speaker 4: and it's we're not even there in Week one yet.
Speaker 9: Guy, I wish we could have taken these calls back
Speaker 9: in March.
Speaker 1: Oh, here's well then, you know you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: You mean like when Dano had already pecked up.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a very different vibe. Yeah, very different vibe.
Speaker 4: All right, let's take our second break. When we come back,
Speaker 4: we'll give our predictions for the season. Give you how
Speaker 4: many wins the Cowboys will have here in twenty twenty
Speaker 4: four and how.

Speaker 4: it seems like the smiles are all over Cowboys Nation
Speaker 4: now right everywhere? All right, final segment, we've got to
Speaker 4: give our predictions. How many wins well the Cowboys have
Speaker 4: this season. We'll take it a step further and say
Speaker 4: how deep into the playoffs? Oh?
Speaker 1: I don't do that. Well, there go.
Speaker 4: I mean that's what it's all about, right, That's what
Speaker 4: it's all about, is a lot.
Speaker 1: We'll start with Patrick knows.
Speaker 7: Well, first, I'm going to land right at twelve wins, twelve, five,
Speaker 7: twelve and five, twelve and five Okay, this were that?
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, twelve, Kay, you love me in the water.
Speaker 7: So twelve will for the Cowboys. I could even see
Speaker 7: a plus one somewhere, don't necessarily see a minus one,
Speaker 7: but twelve or thirteen, I'll go twelve. How far in
Speaker 7: the playoffs do they go? God, is so impossible to
Speaker 7: predict that right now because you don't know what the
Speaker 7: if the run game will take that step.
Speaker 1: Of the matchups are. Yeah, you just you don't know,
Speaker 1: you don't know what, you don't know, you.
Speaker 7: Don't know what you don't know. But I'll tell you
Speaker 7: what I'm gonna. I'm gonna I'm going to ride the wave.
Speaker 7: Nothing of the callers. And I like mich McCarthy's twenty
Speaker 7: one game plan for the Cowboys.
Speaker 1: So the Cowboys will appear in the Super Bowl this year.
Speaker 1: But I also add this.
Speaker 7: I also add this because I'm big on on trends
Speaker 7: and does it again in the last year. I was
Speaker 7: going to say, I'm big on trends and patterns. What
Speaker 7: happened year five of McCarthy in Green Bay, He went
Speaker 7: to SUP he went to the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: I'm just not saying, but I'm so.
Speaker 9: I mean, you are saying I am saying saying but
Speaker 9: you're not.
Speaker 1: Saying but I'm not saying but I'm just saying itself.
Speaker 1: And then what what I'm just saying.
Speaker 7: So, yeah, Mike mccarthur, year five, contract years a proven
Speaker 7: year for him. You saw what he did in Green
Speaker 7: Band year five. I just it's a pattern for me.
Speaker 7: So twelve and five Cowboys make it to the Super Bowl.
Speaker 6: Josh eleven and six, I think, uh, you got to
Speaker 6: bring up I think twelve and six, twelve wins four
Speaker 6: years in a row, is going to be tough. I
Speaker 6: don't think that happens. I think the NFC is going
Speaker 6: to NFC East is going to be better. I think
Speaker 6: the Commanders are going to be better this year. And
Speaker 6: I think the Commanders might even win the division. I
Speaker 6: really do, I really do. I think there's a possibility.
Speaker 1: Joe Mouth, give me that meal. What was in that
Speaker 1: meal of both?
Speaker 9: I don't think.
Speaker 6: Yeah, eleven and six. I think we're gonna be very competitive,
Speaker 6: depending on that means.
Speaker 4: Washington is either eleven and six as well or twelve
Speaker 4: and five and they've beaten you once or twice.
Speaker 9: I could see that happening.
Speaker 6: Isaiahs scared me enough to believe in the Commanders.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm not.
Speaker 8: I'm between twelve and twelve and five and eleven and
Speaker 8: six wait wait wait wait playoff season prediction. Yeah, playoffs
Speaker 8: you tried to get.
Speaker 6: Sorry, yeah, win the division? No playoff run, yes, question mark.
Speaker 6: I think we get to the divisional round again, and
Speaker 6: that's where we go all right back to you.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm between twelve and five and eleven and six.
Speaker 8: Not really sure what you want. I want to put
Speaker 8: my finger on, so I'm shut of that line.
Speaker 1: Nah, you're a professional. Plus gave himself a rule.
Speaker 8: I did say, plus give us a plus for mind
Speaker 8: twelve five minus one. All right, okay, but I think
Speaker 8: they go two rounds deep. So yeah, that's it. I
Speaker 8: I mean, that's hard saying without knowing what their matchups are,
Speaker 8: because that's what I'm saying. Playoffs as we as we
Speaker 8: do it right now. These are now bold predictions. These
Speaker 8: are both and I reserve the right in the bye
Speaker 8: week to alter.
Speaker 1: Giving. In a wildcard round.
Speaker 8: You might face somebody that you couldn't just smack up
Speaker 8: right the next round.
Speaker 1: It's not going to be okay.
Speaker 4: I'll stand on because do you get to read draft
Speaker 4: your fantasy football team halfway through the year. You draft
Speaker 4: right now, you make your predictions, you put your team together,
Speaker 4: and you stand on it throughout the years.
Speaker 1: That's how you do it.
Speaker 9: Said Kyle, what about you, buddy, I don't.
Speaker 1: Want to trade. Yeah, looks smart. Looks different. As the
Speaker 1: season goes along, it is different. Give me give me
Speaker 1: ten wins for the Cowboys. I think they don't win
Speaker 1: the division.
Speaker 4: Optimism, I think they I think they do end up
Speaker 4: winning the division or the wildcard round. I think they
Speaker 4: win the Wildcard round, go to the divisional off of
Speaker 4: ten wins.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 1: I don't think it will win the division. I think
Speaker 1: somebody else will get you to the playoffs. I don't
Speaker 1: think so it'll they'll squeak in wins.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 9: So who does win the division for you?
Speaker 1: Then Philly, I think for sure. Yeah, yeah, I think
Speaker 1: it's Philly.
Speaker 4: But I think Washington's right there. I think it's gonna
Speaker 4: be a three team race in the division. You're going
Speaker 4: to see each team take something from the other teams.
Speaker 1: I think Washington will probably steal one from Dallas.
Speaker 4: I think Philly well, or Dallas may steal one from Philly,
Speaker 4: and then vice versa, and it kind of go back
Speaker 4: and forth.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 4: The only reason I say this is because I think
Speaker 4: I don't think this team is as good.
Speaker 1: As last year's team. I was all in on last
Speaker 1: year's team.
Speaker 4: I thought that team had everything that you needed to
Speaker 4: make a run to do something special. It had depth,
Speaker 4: it had the starting caliber, it had all sorts of
Speaker 4: core players. You still have those core players, but I'm
Speaker 4: worried about the depth.
Speaker 1: I'm worried about the run game. I don't know if
Speaker 1: they're gonna be able to run the ball effectively.
Speaker 4: If that's the case, I don't know how how seamless
Speaker 4: this offense will go because I think, like we've talked
Speaker 4: about before, you need a solid run game for Dak
Speaker 4: Prescott to be set up.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 4: They didn't necessarily have that last year. Teams know that,
Speaker 4: teams know that they won't run the ball, and they will.
Speaker 4: They're this team to throw it or to run the
Speaker 4: ball and make them throw it around.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just I don't know.
Speaker 7: You have, ahead of ten wins in the prove it year,
Speaker 7: who has shown what he can do in a year
Speaker 7: five with the organization, you have a number one offense that.
Speaker 1: Could take a step forward if their run game goods
Speaker 1: could take a step you have it very much. So
Speaker 1: backwards could very much.
Speaker 7: You have a defense that should take a step forward
Speaker 7: under Mike Zimmer with better linebacker play.
Speaker 1: You got some big boys down could take a step.
Speaker 7: Could I mean, of course, I'm point point being as
Speaker 7: it's there's a lot of hope in this building and
Speaker 7: the season is not built on hope.
Speaker 1: As it stands.
Speaker 7: This defense they've shown in the preseason, albeit that they
Speaker 7: can still take away the ball and if they can
Speaker 7: improve with Zimmer. Then there's that side of the equation.
Speaker 7: Number one offense should take a step forward. There's that
Speaker 7: side of the equation. Even that twelve wins, I think
Speaker 7: Philly wins the division maybe with thirteen, because that's how
Speaker 7: the NFC East goals goes, right. You can't win this
Speaker 7: division two years in a.
Speaker 1: Row, but at some point it'll happen. Though at some point,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm.
Speaker 4: Not saying this is a bad football team. And if
Speaker 4: you think they're gonna miss the playoffs, I think you're wrong.
Speaker 4: I think they will be in the playoffs.
Speaker 1: But I don't. I'm not here for the if.
Speaker 8: Hans or Butts.
Speaker 1: I want to see actual film.
Speaker 4: I want to see improvement and I want to see
Speaker 4: it before I really say this team is gonna make
Speaker 4: a deep run in the playoffs.
Speaker 1: But nobody's all.
Speaker 4: Right, that does it for us? Here on Talking Cowboys,
Speaker 4: we got to get out of here.
Speaker 1: For Chris be and.
Speaker 4: Patrick no, Cy Walker, Chush Rodriguez, Isaiah stand back.
Speaker 1: I'm Kyle Yoman saying so long.
Speaker 4: We will see you tomorrow at nine am Central Time
Speaker 4: with more Talking Cowboys.
