Speaker 4: Sonics are coming back. I'm they're announced in Seattle and
Speaker 4: Las Vegas will be getting their teams after the season.
Speaker 6: I just wonder how they're gonna do that. Expansion Draft
Speaker 6: because it's gonna it's gonna while frustrate me when they
Speaker 6: take like three good players off the heat.
Speaker 3: So that is what it is. That's how it goes.
Speaker 1: Basketball season, go maps, go stars, but definitely go right.
Speaker 3: Is gonna fire. Yeah, Isaiah staying back, what's going on, dude.
Speaker 4: I'm killing man, you know what. I'm excited about what
Speaker 4: you excited was getting on Sunday. But and you know,
Speaker 4: I'll watched the Rangers a little bit maybe tonight. It's
Speaker 4: good break away from the w w E. I watched
Speaker 4: that with my son. That's like you were going, they
Speaker 4: were just here last week. Okay, they were just here
Speaker 4: last week. See yeah on Monday. They were here on Monday. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I didn't know about it would have been. But the
Speaker 4: fight versus Francis and Gunda, Okay, that's very fun, very
Speaker 4: excited about that. I know who's gonna win, but still
Speaker 4: excited to see it. I'm excited to see Mike Tyson
Speaker 4: in the corner mm hmm.
Speaker 3: To be a lot of fun.
Speaker 6: I'm a big boxing guy, so it's a good story.
Speaker 6: Whenever Tyson Fury is out there.
Speaker 4: You know Tyson Fury, you know who he's named after
Speaker 4: He's named after Mike Tyson.
Speaker 3: Well, there you go, So what do you know?
Speaker 4: Yeah, they said he did an interview where he's talking
Speaker 4: about how he's how it's kind of weird because he's
Speaker 4: named after Mike Tyson. Mike Tyson is his favorite boxer
Speaker 4: and now he's the enemy this.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, that's strange.
Speaker 3: That is interesting. Yeah, he was.
Speaker 6: Destined to be the heavyweight.
Speaker 1: Very speaking of heavyweights, we've got to have a way
Speaker 1: battle between Zach Martin and Aaron Donald coming up on Sunday. Guys,
Speaker 1: it's uh, what'd you say? I think he'll be another side.
Speaker 3: Uh, they'll go up against each other. They will face
Speaker 3: each other.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they'll definitely face each other. They faced each other
Speaker 1: in the past. I mean they go all the way back,
Speaker 1: they go back to the scene in the day Mobile
Speaker 1: Alabama Baby. But for the most part, Zach Martin spoke yesterday,
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott spoke yesterday, CD LAMB. Lots of offense to
Speaker 1: talk about from yesterday's player availability.
Speaker 3: Let's go to news and notes with Nick Harris. What's
Speaker 3: going on.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we could start with the Zach Martin Aaron Donald
Speaker 6: phenomena that is going to happen on Sunday afternoon were
Speaker 6: we asked him about it because not only does it
Speaker 6: go back to the Senior Bowl in the twenty fourteen draft,
Speaker 6: it goes back to when they played in college against
Speaker 6: each other a couple of times. He said, I was
Speaker 6: able to go against him four years in college and
Speaker 6: at the Senior Bowl. This is Zach Martin speaking. I've
Speaker 6: probably seen him six six or seven games in the pros.
Speaker 6: It's definitely a game you circle seeing ninety nine light
Speaker 6: up across from you. He's definitely someone you have to neutralize.
Speaker 6: He mentioned having a nowhere number ninety nine is at
Speaker 6: every snap pre snap, and he gave him obviously a
Speaker 6: lot of confidence or a lot of compliments as well. Mostly,
Speaker 6: Aaron Donald has been kind of stifled whenever he plays
Speaker 6: the Cowboys, aside from their last matchup last year where
Speaker 6: he had two sacks in the force fumble. Before that,
Speaker 6: I believe it was in six total games he'd only
Speaker 6: had one sack.
Speaker 3: I guess what what.
Speaker 6: We talked a lot about it yesterday, but being able
Speaker 6: to stop Aaron Donald? Where does it start? Where does
Speaker 6: it finish?
Speaker 3: Where does it start?
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like everybody's got to figure out.
Speaker 4: A way to it. He's gonna be all over the place, honestly.
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, I was talking to one of
Speaker 4: the departments earlier today and just talking about what they
Speaker 4: were seeing on film in regards to him, and they
Speaker 4: feel as if he's like revving up, you know, like
Speaker 4: he's like he knew that. He's like, all right, Dallas
Speaker 4: is on the schedule. Let me start, let me start
Speaker 4: turning this thing.
Speaker 3: Up a little bit.
Speaker 4: And I truly believe that you're going to get the
Speaker 4: best version of Aaron Donald in this game. Now how
Speaker 4: impactful that becomes is up to Dallas Cowboy's offensive front,
Speaker 4: But I do believe that he will be amped and
Speaker 4: ready to rock and roll to the best of his ability.
Speaker 4: And I think, again, if I'm a decordinator, if I'm
Speaker 4: Raheem Morris, i am going to line him up over
Speaker 4: Tyler Beata, and I'm going to say, teach a young
Speaker 4: man a lesson. And that's not to say that's the
Speaker 4: only place he's going.
Speaker 3: To line up.
Speaker 4: Obviously there'll be other matchups Tyler Smith and obviously Zach Martin,
Speaker 4: But majority of the day, if it wasn't me, I
Speaker 4: would line him up over Tyler Biaddish and make him
Speaker 4: I would play a game.
Speaker 1: Ola oly oly Ole two and a half sacks, ten
Speaker 1: quarterback hits, eight tackles for loss in.
Speaker 3: Twenty twenty three.
Speaker 1: But the biggest thing that stands out to me, and
Speaker 1: we've talked about pressures, yep, pressures have been there. Twenty
Speaker 1: nine quarterback pressures in twenty twenty three, according to Next
Speaker 1: Gen Stats. That's tied amongst most or tied most amongst
Speaker 1: defensive tackles. The other one is Javon Hargrave, who you've
Speaker 1: seen and who gave you trouble in the middle of
Speaker 1: that offensive line when he was with the San Francisco
Speaker 1: forty niners. I mean this defense as a whole does
Speaker 1: not force a ton of turnovers. Just the five takeaways
Speaker 1: on the season six total, I think turnovers. I think
Speaker 1: they're plus I can't remember what the exact number is.
Speaker 1: I don't have it in front of me, but the
Speaker 1: five takeaways on the season. Just the twelve sacks, but
Speaker 1: they provide pressure. It's kind of like what Dallas did
Speaker 1: to the charge last week. Not a tough sacks, but
Speaker 1: it was a lot of pressures and it kept justin
Speaker 1: Herbert uncomfortable.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, that is that is a great comparison, you know.
Speaker 3: That's why I said the stats don't tell the whole story.
Speaker 4: When you everybody get so enamored with sacks and the
Speaker 4: reality is Aaron Donald being on the on the interior
Speaker 4: majority of the time, he doesn't allow for you to
Speaker 4: step up in the pocket. That's the that's the problem
Speaker 4: for interior dominant interior defensive linement. They disrupt the center
Speaker 4: of your protection. And if you disrupt the center of
Speaker 4: the protection, your quarterback has nowhere to go. They can
Speaker 4: run around outside, of course, you know, if there's no
Speaker 4: defensive end pressure. But these guys running three four, so
Speaker 4: it's gonna be very difficult to get outside of these
Speaker 4: defensive ends because their stand up ends. So you're all
Speaker 4: of a sudden, you're in this. You're in this you
Speaker 4: right there. It's like it's like upside down you right,
Speaker 4: You're in this upside down you and the defensive ends
Speaker 4: are getting upfield and they're boxing you in. And then
Speaker 4: you have this guy who's majority and I'm gonna say
Speaker 4: majority of time, but he's gonna to beat your interior
Speaker 4: defense interior office a lineman at times. And now you
Speaker 4: have to worry about him coming through the middle of
Speaker 4: your of your formation as well as not being able
Speaker 4: to get outside. It creates a you know, a very
Speaker 4: restrictive throwing zone. And that's why he causes so many problems.
Speaker 4: Whether he's getting sacks or not. He's tackling other guys,
Speaker 4: he's tackling your running backs. He's he's breathing down their neck.
Speaker 4: You know, he's talking to you, talking about oh, I
Speaker 4: was this close, like and you know it. He's not lying,
Speaker 4: he's not bluffing, like, he's right there with you, you know. So,
Speaker 4: I mean, he's a problem. You have to find a
Speaker 4: way to neutralize him. If there is a way to
Speaker 4: combo block, then you obviously combo block. But I foresee
Speaker 4: them again with this three four, I would line up
Speaker 4: covering up the both guards in the center. And if
Speaker 4: you do that, now, all of a sudden, there is
Speaker 4: no combo blocks. Now everybody has one on one matchups,
Speaker 4: right because the defensive ends. Now the tackles have to
Speaker 4: take their attention to the defensive ends to make sure
Speaker 4: that they they are taking, they're accounted for. Keep them outside.
Speaker 4: Then in your three interior office a linement, literally have
Speaker 4: one on one blocks, I will roll the dice with
Speaker 4: that if I'm the Rams.
Speaker 6: Yeah. Next news a note. The funny moment happened at
Speaker 6: practice yesterday. Jerry Jones. He shows up the practice and
Speaker 6: everyone's like, oh, there's Jerry. It was probably only like
Speaker 6: the third or fourth practice we've seen him out there
Speaker 6: so far this year.
Speaker 3: And he starts walking.
Speaker 6: Towards the media and we're like, oh, he's got something
Speaker 6: to say. You know, this trade deadline's coming up, this
Speaker 6: is this is gonna be juicy. And he comes up
Speaker 6: and he's like, hey, guys, I just kind of wanted
Speaker 6: to come over here and say hi.
Speaker 3: I don't really have anything to say, and we're just like, okay,
Speaker 3: what about trades?
Speaker 6: And he was like, I don't really have any trades
Speaker 6: or major acquisitions in mind as of right now. And
Speaker 6: then I got something to say about that, Jerry Jones.
Speaker 6: He said, would I improve the roster if given the opportunity.
Speaker 3: Of course we would.
Speaker 6: If we don't do anything, We've got a team in
Speaker 6: my mind to get us where we want to go.
Speaker 6: So pretty much the same rhetoric that we got last Tuesday.
Speaker 3: But I don't know.
Speaker 6: It was just really funny because he was coming over
Speaker 6: and it looked like he had something he wanted to say,
Speaker 6: and then he didn't say anything.
Speaker 3: So you guys, what probably what percentage would you say?
Speaker 3: What probability do eyes? Would you say it?
Speaker 5: At?
Speaker 3: The Cowboys will make a big splash?
Speaker 1: So we go back to the one to ten scale.
Speaker 1: Four four and a half is about what Jonathan Hankins
Speaker 1: was last year impact player. But in terms of a splash,
Speaker 1: wasn't a big splash?
Speaker 3: Are we talking like a big eight and uh like
Speaker 3: seven percent?
Speaker 1: Yeah, point four percent. I don't think they make a
Speaker 1: big splash. I really don't.
Speaker 3: I think they make a move.
Speaker 1: I think they'll make like a five or six move,
Speaker 1: and they've have four days to do it.
Speaker 3: They've gotten until two day a starter move for PM
Speaker 3: Eastern depth or starter.
Speaker 1: Probably depth, Probably depth, but I think borderline starter. So
Speaker 1: that's a tough question for me to answer, so because
Speaker 1: I think it'll be right there. It depends on which position. Honestly,
Speaker 1: the way I.
Speaker 6: See it is, if you wanted to make a big splash,
Speaker 6: there's really only one big splash that you could make.
Speaker 6: Obviously we can't get into it, but I don't think so.
Speaker 6: I don't think that's on the table. What division AFC South, Yeah,
Speaker 6: I think, And I don't think an NFC West would
Speaker 6: be on the board.
Speaker 3: Come on, I really don't. There's no way. Yeah, but
Speaker 3: that's why you throw it out there.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but like they're not gonna catch it. They're just
Speaker 6: gonna let it get thrown and it's just gonna go
Speaker 6: off into space.
Speaker 3: Fine, in the same spot that you are. Now, huh,
Speaker 3: you end up in the same spot.
Speaker 6: Shoot or shoot?
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm sure, I'm sure they've had some Philadelphia
Speaker 4: is shooting NonStop.
Speaker 3: That's diff Tommy gun style.
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, freaking gatling gun Okay, just shoot, And that's
Speaker 4: sometimes you don't know. You don't know, right, you can assume,
Speaker 4: you could position, you can do all those things at
Speaker 4: a certain point. I don't care whatever it is that's
Speaker 4: preventing you from wanting to do so, whether it be
Speaker 4: the negotiation, you know, leverage, whether it be pride or whatever.
Speaker 4: It is, Like, get it out the way and shoot
Speaker 4: and you very well might get you're out of your mind.
Speaker 3: I'll talk to you later, and that's fine, that's cool.
Speaker 3: I try. I try. It's likehoot your shot, trying to
Speaker 3: get him but you ever seen a girl that you
Speaker 3: want to shoot your shot at, like you know, you shoot,
Speaker 3: you shoot, you know what the percentages are? Got married?
Speaker 3: He said, she's probably gonna shoot. Be down against what
Speaker 3: you're dude works every time.
Speaker 4: I'm saying, like you know what your boys and your
Speaker 4: boys like, you know, I can't get hurt like I'm
Speaker 4: gonna try anyway.
Speaker 3: Fair.
Speaker 1: The The thing about it is, though, if we don't
Speaker 1: have those phone lines, we don't know if he's if
Speaker 1: they have no, we don't hitting that. We can only
Speaker 1: go by what he's talking. And what he's talking about
Speaker 1: is that he's he's keeping it close to the chest.
Speaker 1: And and anything that Jerry says always has to be
Speaker 1: taken with a business aspects of the mind. That's just
Speaker 1: how it goes. I wouldn't even say a grain of salt.
Speaker 1: He he is very calculated in what he says. He
Speaker 1: never really lies, but he also never really tells the
Speaker 1: complete story. I admire that, and that's a business man's aspect,
Speaker 1: you too.
Speaker 3: I think it's.
Speaker 1: Incredible what he does by using the media as a
Speaker 1: negotiation tactic, and he does it all the time.
Speaker 3: This is the same thing.
Speaker 1: It's a negotiation tactic with other teams saying, and we
Speaker 1: don't really want to give up too much. We like
Speaker 1: our team, we'd like what we're doing. It would take
Speaker 1: something specific for us to really even jump at it. Well,
Speaker 1: then the team hears that maybe they catch it on
Speaker 1: whatever website dallascowboys dot com that they're searching and comes
Speaker 1: up and they say, oh, Dallas is interesting and maybe
Speaker 1: making a deal. You know what, maybe I'll take it
Speaker 1: down a little bit, let's let's make this work. And
Speaker 1: then they go right back to it. They might be
Speaker 1: having those conversations, and I would be willing to bet that.
Speaker 6: They have been having those convers I'll say this the
Speaker 6: fact that I specifically pointed out the scene yesterday because
Speaker 6: I thought it was interesting just him coming over to
Speaker 6: say that he didn't have anything to say, he had
Speaker 6: something to say, hey, and he said it. You know,
Speaker 6: it just happened to be that he had nothing to say.
Speaker 6: I just thought that that was really really interesting. Go
Speaker 6: back to the probability, I still think seven percent as
Speaker 6: far as an eight or bigger splash.
Speaker 1: What about like a four or a bigger four seven
Speaker 1: of forty Okay, so a little bit more.
Speaker 3: I would probably say like a sixty. I think they
Speaker 3: will do it now, is it a lock?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 3: What's your what's your eight or greater percentage?
Speaker 1: Point seven? Percent point seven? Yeah, zero point seven percent.
Speaker 6: I love Yeah, I don't think it's happensisficity. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 6: gonna say forty forty wow eight or bigger.
Speaker 1: I would love for them to make a splash.
Speaker 3: I think I think they're there.
Speaker 4: I think their mindset and as the front offices is
Speaker 4: in that space right now.
Speaker 1: Is that based off of the moves that they made
Speaker 1: in the off season.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, I like it. Well, there you go. Last
Speaker 3: news and note, I have the injury report. Remember that
Speaker 3: thing that we were talking about yesterday, how.
Speaker 6: It was so small? Yeah, it didn't last long.
Speaker 3: Well it's still small.
Speaker 6: But Cowboys left tackle Tyron Smith was added to the
Speaker 6: injury report yesterday.
Speaker 3: With a neck injury. He was limited in practice.
Speaker 6: It sounded like he went through individual drills and did
Speaker 6: not compete in team drills. It doesn't sound like something
Speaker 6: that happened in practice. Although I'm just theorizing there.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, So well, we'll see if a left tackle situation
Speaker 6: is going to be something that's going to need to
Speaker 6: be addressed ahead of Sunday as well.
Speaker 3: Stingers suck. Yeah, those aren't fun.
Speaker 4: They go away relatively quickly though, most of them.
Speaker 1: But it is frustrating to see one the name again
Speaker 1: pop back up on the injury report, and also with
Speaker 1: the injury that it is a knack. I mean, that's
Speaker 1: something you don't mess with, even if it is a stinger.
Speaker 3: This just like nerve impingement. It goes away. That sounds.
Speaker 3: I mean, it.
Speaker 4: Burns your nerves get restricted, it goes down your arm,
Speaker 4: Your arm stops working for a little bit.
Speaker 3: You ever had a nerve impinged? Yeah, I had a
Speaker 3: stinger before back in the day.
Speaker 1: Shut you down, I mean, it shuts you down for
Speaker 1: that day.
Speaker 4: I mean it probably linger on for a little bit,
Speaker 4: depends on the severity of it, but most of them
Speaker 4: go away within a couple of days.
Speaker 3: Interesting, and we'll probably learn more about that today.
Speaker 4: You would think, right, I'm not trying to play doctor
Speaker 4: for Tyrant, but I'm telling you from my.
Speaker 6: Experience, it was more so the word impinged. Yeah, it
Speaker 6: was more so at the source moment. I was like,
Speaker 6: I've never heard that word, but it's like.
Speaker 4: Like a bottle of traffic, you know, what I'm saying,
Speaker 4: like it just nerve. It can't communicate, so literally everything
Speaker 4: shuts down. Yeah, I got I had a stinger in
Speaker 4: practice one time when I was in Seattle and I
Speaker 4: was running a running a stop route right over the right,
Speaker 4: over the ball about five yards deep, and dude hit me.
Speaker 3: The ball got thrown in one direction and I got
Speaker 3: hit from that same side. Boom, and my neck just
Speaker 3: it just I just stood there. I was like, oh, yep,
Speaker 3: that hurts, and just get up and you walk off
Speaker 3: and your arm is literally dead.
Speaker 4: It's like it's like sleeping on your arm, you know
Speaker 4: what I mean, Like you know, you know that sensation,
Speaker 4: but it burns, it like actually hurts, and you just
Speaker 4: don't have any control over it.
Speaker 3: So that's why stingers suck.
Speaker 4: Whenever you see guys get a stinger, you see guys
Speaker 4: kind of walking off like ah, they just get pinged.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's gonna be the name of the show that'll
Speaker 3: get some clicks.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: Final it was at your final news and note, it
Speaker 1: was I've got a news and note. How about DeMarcus
Speaker 1: Ware being inducted into the Ring of Honors this week?
Speaker 3: My teammate, Yeah, he was his teammate.
Speaker 1: They were already putting up the ninety four outside on
Speaker 1: the Star wall and putting up the plaque that will
Speaker 1: stay here at the Star in Frisco as a part
Speaker 1: of the Ring Ring of Honor.
Speaker 3: Really cool if you are going to at.
Speaker 1: And T Stadium. Enjoyed that moment because it doesn't come
Speaker 1: around every year. Of course, it's one of those once everywhere,
Speaker 1: once in a while things, once every blue moon things,
Speaker 1: and Marcus Whare certainly deserves it.
Speaker 3: So I know he was your teammate.
Speaker 1: I mean we've talked about him a little bit on
Speaker 1: this show, but I mean what kind of impact did
Speaker 1: he make on the teams that you were a part of.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean d Dub was a beast.
Speaker 4: I mean you just knew that you had a big
Speaker 4: defensive end that nobody really wanted to deal with. So
Speaker 4: you know, you just had that side of it shirt up.
Speaker 4: The year that I came in. You know, they drafted
Speaker 4: Anthony Spencer the same year, so they tried to obviously
Speaker 4: have somebody for him to play off of. So those
Speaker 4: two working together underneath his leadership was absolutely amazing. You know,
Speaker 4: he was able to learn from guys like Greg Ellis
Speaker 4: that was here as well when I first got here,
Speaker 4: So that whole room, it was just interesting to see.
Speaker 4: It was awesome to see how wisdom just got handed down.
Speaker 4: You know, Greg Allis handed it down to Deep Ubbed,
Speaker 4: he dub handed it down Anthony Spencer, and he just
Speaker 4: kept going from there.
Speaker 3: So awesome, dude, Super happy for him and his family.
Speaker 4: He's been through a heck of a lot that he
Speaker 4: doesn't even speak on a majority of the time, and
Speaker 4: I'm super super happy that he's getting getting that acknowledge,
Speaker 4: being getting those flowers.
Speaker 3: And he's young.
Speaker 4: He's young now, so he's going to have a long
Speaker 4: time to sign autographs and looking up in those raptures, get.
Speaker 3: Into coaching as well. Yeah, see it.
Speaker 1: He'll be the twenty third player inducted into the Cowboys
Speaker 1: Ring of Honor, in the first one since Gil Brandt
Speaker 1: was inducted back in November of twenty eighteen. It prompts
Speaker 1: the question before we go to break that's crazy, who's.
Speaker 3: The next to go in? It's gonna be Jimmy.
Speaker 6: You think it'll be Jimmy to go so much team
Speaker 6: around it now And we actually were able to ask
Speaker 6: Jerry Jones yesterday about those pregame conversations that he had
Speaker 6: with Jimmy in LA and I think.
Speaker 3: They're Minning's offense there. Yeah, it's going to happen. I'd
Speaker 3: be shocked if it doesn't happen.
Speaker 6: In the next couple of years too, just because with
Speaker 6: both of them getting up in the kitch and I
Speaker 6: think living with regret, I think they realized that.
Speaker 3: I think they're gonna get it.
Speaker 4: It was good to see them joking around. I see them, yeah,
Speaker 4: talking another day.
Speaker 6: But player wise, witt okay, Witten would be the next
Speaker 6: that would make the most sense.
Speaker 1: I think you would Dez no, no, no, not probably
Speaker 1: not Romo either, So yeah, I would probably say wittin
Speaker 1: I'm just throwing out names that would even be close,
Speaker 1: but the Yeah, Witten would be the next one for
Speaker 1: me by far. So all right, when we come back
Speaker 1: here on Talking Cowboys, we've got key matchups to look
Speaker 1: for and some things to look for in this matchup
Speaker 1: with the Los Angeles Rams. Yeah, I got to look
Speaker 1: at Isaiah Stanback for a little while there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, all of.
Speaker 1: Them poking out there, No, Biggie, When we come back
Speaker 1: here on Talking Cowboys, Nic will run down the key matchups.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about exactly how the Cowboys can slow down

Speaker 3: To Talking Cowboys.
Speaker 1: Back, You're on Talking Cowboys, presented by Black Rifle Coffee Company,
Speaker 1: the official coffee of the Dallas Cowboys. This segment has
Speaker 1: brought to you by Invizzile Line.
Speaker 3: The official smile of America's team.
Speaker 1: Back here with Isaiah Standbach, Nick Harris, I'm Kyle Yemans
Speaker 1: here on a say It with your Chest Friday. We've
Speaker 1: got plenty to go into with this matchup with the
Speaker 1: Rams noon Central Time, on Sunday afternoon, Nick, I'll let
Speaker 1: you start things off on your matchups to watch in
Speaker 1: some of the key members of both of these teams.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Absolutely the leadoff that I'm gonna lead in with here,
Speaker 6: and We've talked about it so many times this week,
Speaker 6: just because he is the best defensive lineman in the NFL.
Speaker 6: Arguably it's Aaron Donald versus the interior of this offensive line,
Speaker 6: specifically Tyler Biottish. So I think for this one, there's
Speaker 6: gonna have to be a lot that get that plays
Speaker 6: into it.
Speaker 3: Especially with Tyler Biottish.
Speaker 6: We've talked about this week that maybe there's not a
Speaker 6: ton of confidence in him going up against Aaron Donald,
Speaker 6: and if you can get him in situations where he's
Speaker 6: pushed into Zach Martin's side, then maybe you have a
Speaker 6: little bit of success there. But overall, Aaron Donald's gonna
Speaker 6: get home. He's gonna that's gonna happen on Sunday at
Speaker 6: least once or twice. It's gonna come down to just
Speaker 6: being able to bounce back off those bad reps because
Speaker 6: they will happen.
Speaker 3: He does that to people. What would be a good
Speaker 3: game for Tyler Biottish.
Speaker 1: I mean twenty three pressures for.
Speaker 3: Aaron Donald this season twenty nine pressures. Excuse me, that's
Speaker 3: in what's seven games?
Speaker 1: I was just about to look up how many games
Speaker 1: he's played yet four?
Speaker 3: So four over four pressures a game? Okay, four and
Speaker 3: a half pressures a game.
Speaker 1: What would be a solid matchup for Aaron or for
Speaker 1: Tyler Biattish against Aaron Donald.
Speaker 3: I mean, there's no stats that really can sure back
Speaker 3: what I'm trying to say.
Speaker 1: It's played in all seven games, yeah.
Speaker 4: I mean I can't put a statistic to it, or
Speaker 4: any any form of analytics to that to this, but I.
Speaker 3: Just I just need him to he can't. Yeah, you're
Speaker 3: all right getting choked up about that. Donald.
Speaker 4: It makes me a little nervous. I don't know, Kyle,
Speaker 4: I don't I don't know what a good game looks
Speaker 4: like for him. I just know that he cannot get
Speaker 4: dominated like you can't. You can't abort what you're trying
Speaker 4: to do offensively because of where Tyler Biadish may be
Speaker 4: lacking at any pointing time in the game. Because that
Speaker 4: that's if I had to put any statement to it,
Speaker 4: that would probably be it you. They should be able
Speaker 4: to stay in their game plan without the necessity for
Speaker 4: having to make alterations to account for Aaron Donald in
Speaker 4: excess than they already are a game plan wise, Tyler
Speaker 4: Beata should not require additional help outside of what the
Speaker 4: game plan already is that that would be a good
Speaker 4: game for him.
Speaker 3: And I don't know what that looks like. What do
Speaker 3: you feel like it would look like? Uh, the game
Speaker 3: plan on on Aaron Donald.
Speaker 6: Yeah, specifically, it's just try to get as many bodies
Speaker 6: on him as possible. I'm fine with having to use
Speaker 6: two guys up front every every snap to be able
Speaker 6: to keep him keep him even if there are five or.
Speaker 3: Six rushers, Like, I want two guys on Aaron Donald,
Speaker 3: So we.
Speaker 6: Figure it out.
Speaker 4: If those three guys are all covered up, yeah, and
Speaker 4: it's a traditional three four, right, so instead of them
Speaker 4: being out in fives, they bump in right now that
Speaker 4: everybody that the three into your linement are all covered.
Speaker 6: Up, Yeah, then you still figure it out. You still
Speaker 6: figure out how to get two bodies on him, and
Speaker 6: you hope that one of these tackles can slide inside,
Speaker 6: or that a Tony Pollard or Reco Dawdle can pick
Speaker 6: him up in the backfield whoever can leak through. But
Speaker 6: I still I would rather have two I would rather
Speaker 6: have two bodies on Aaron Donald at all times than
Speaker 6: one body on anyone else.
Speaker 3: Get it? So gotta make it happen, right.
Speaker 6: Yeah, next matchup, And this is the second game week
Speaker 6: and a row that we've had to highlight Jordan Lewis.
Speaker 3: But it's it's it's for a good reason.
Speaker 6: Jordan Lewis versus Cooper Cup is my is my second
Speaker 6: matchup that to watch this week, specifically because of the
Speaker 6: game that Jordan Lewis is coming off of and guarding
Speaker 6: Keenan Allen and that was a tough performance. He he
Speaker 6: gave it quite a bit. Keenan Allen had a great
Speaker 6: game against the Cowboys and could have to really could
Speaker 6: have had more Cooper Cooper Cup. He since he's come
Speaker 6: back from injury, he's been dynamite. He's been top five
Speaker 6: in the league and receiving yards per game. He's he's been,
Speaker 6: he's been doing everything he can. So it's an opportunity
Speaker 6: for Jordan Lewis to bounce back, for sure against a
Speaker 6: really good opponent. But not a lot of confidence for
Speaker 6: me in this in this matchup right now. I feel
Speaker 6: like Jordan Lewis, it's still gonna take him a couple
Speaker 6: more weeks, maybe a few more weeks to really get
Speaker 6: back to where he was pre injury. I hope we
Speaker 6: can see that I need I need that speed and
Speaker 6: I need that physicality this week too. I think the
Speaker 6: physicality is going to be the most important thing. I
Speaker 6: think that's where Keenan Allen really got him in the
Speaker 6: Chargers game. So give me that matchup as one to
Speaker 6: watch and hopefully Jordan Lewis have a bounce back effort.
Speaker 3: I like that.
Speaker 1: And you look at the only receivers that have more
Speaker 1: yards per game this season than Pooka Nakua and Cooper Cup,
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill, AJ Brown and Justin Jefferson. It's a pretty
Speaker 1: good company to be up there with in terms of
Speaker 1: the three receivers.
Speaker 3: That only have that.
Speaker 1: I think what Pooka Nakua has done for this Rams
Speaker 1: offense led by Sean McVay is the fact that when
Speaker 1: early on in the season Cooper Cup was out and
Speaker 1: he was on ir.
Speaker 3: They needed a guy like Cooper Cup.
Speaker 1: They needed somebody to be a reliable target, a reliable
Speaker 1: receiver to open up the offense and to kind of
Speaker 1: at least give an outlet for Matthew Stafford to throw the.
Speaker 3: Football to Pooka.
Speaker 1: Nakula became that, and he did so at such a
Speaker 1: high rate that whenever he returned, or whenever Cooper Cup returned,
Speaker 1: now you're able to use those two guys together. I
Speaker 1: really liked our film Room segment this week. If you
Speaker 1: haven't watched it yet on dallascowboys dot Com, go watch it.
Speaker 3: Film Room.
Speaker 1: Isaiah breaks it down very nicely, but I want you
Speaker 1: to break it down for me here as well.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 1: I mean the fact that Sean McVay puts these guys
Speaker 1: in situations where there is so much separation. That's what
Speaker 1: makes me a little bit nervous with the secondary. Not
Speaker 1: because I don't trust Doron Bland or Stefan Gilbore or
Speaker 1: Jordan Lewis, but it does play.
Speaker 3: Against some of the weak spots of their games. It does,
Speaker 3: so you guys probably hear me say it too often.
Speaker 4: How I'm a big advocate of motions, pre snet motions,
Speaker 4: shifts and condensed sets. The reason why I'm a big
Speaker 4: advocate of condensed sets is because no matter what coverage
Speaker 4: you're playing one, three, two, four, whatever it is, it
Speaker 4: is very hard to discern.
Speaker 3: Who is taking who where.
Speaker 4: If it's a zone, I have multiple guys releasing in
Speaker 4: the same area into the same space, usually with one
Speaker 4: man's responsibility to defend that entire area. If you're playing
Speaker 4: man to man, a condensed set really makes it difficult
Speaker 4: because now you have to decipher who is going to
Speaker 4: take who right if we're if we're stacked on right
Speaker 4: by each other, off each other's heel, and I decided
Speaker 4: I'm going to go in the point man goes inside,
Speaker 4: the off man goes outside. Now you're trying to in
Speaker 4: and out it. Are we man locking it right? Where
Speaker 4: you're taking me no matter where I go or are
Speaker 4: we in and out in it? Where whoever goes outside,
Speaker 4: that's who I'm taking, And whenever who goes inside, that's
Speaker 4: who the other guy's taking. It makes it very difficult
Speaker 4: for them to sort that out. And Sean McVay understands that.
Speaker 4: And now to your point, Kyle, he has two receivers
Speaker 4: who are very capable of taking full advantage of that.
Speaker 4: You have one guy who is who's a bigger receiver.
Speaker 3: Pooking the coup. I don't know how many people have
Speaker 3: looked at it. He's not a small guy.
Speaker 4: He's through a six to six two two o five
Speaker 4: two ten somewhere around there. And then you have Cooper
Speaker 4: Cup who's just feeding him wisdom. And Cooper Cup is
Speaker 4: a heck of a all around receiver. But if you
Speaker 4: had to pick what type of receiver you wanted Cooper
Speaker 4: Cup to be, it would be a possession receiver. And
Speaker 4: that's what he literally gets to be now. For you know,
Speaker 4: a majority of his career he's had kind of had
Speaker 4: to be the guy who does everything, and now he
Speaker 4: has a partner in crime, right shaking, and you know,
Speaker 4: while while pulling the coup is going up there and
Speaker 4: and Bacon the Cooper cups working underneath and shaken literally
Speaker 4: and he's running option routes galore. They literally are putting
Speaker 4: him on option routes. He hardly ever just has a
Speaker 4: route that he has to run. He has he has
Speaker 4: can go left, he can go right, he can sit.
Speaker 1: He's so cerebral, makes the right So it's almost like
Speaker 1: you're you're always in a position to make the wrong decision.
Speaker 3: You know, he's going to play.
Speaker 4: Off for you whatever you decide he's doing the opposite.
Speaker 4: And that's why I make a comparison to him and
Speaker 4: Wes Welker, because I'm starting to see Wes Welker in
Speaker 4: his game now as he's starting to run these more
Speaker 4: read read routes and underneath type routes because he is
Speaker 4: taking his time, he's coming off the ball, he's letting
Speaker 4: things play out, he's letting the coverage kind of kind
Speaker 4: of fall back with the with the routes and then
Speaker 4: he's just give me that.
Speaker 3: And last week he.
Speaker 4: Dropped I think two or three of his first passes.
Speaker 4: I mean, you know that would have been big plays
Speaker 4: for them, or you know, at least first downs, and
Speaker 4: you could know, you know in his head he wants
Speaker 4: that get back.
Speaker 3: He's okay, I was rusty.
Speaker 4: I knocked that rust off and now he's in a
Speaker 4: position to go against you know, Darn Bland and Jay Lou.
Speaker 4: Jay Lou's still getting his feet underneathhim. Deron Bland, you know,
Speaker 4: he's had a great start to his career, but he's
Speaker 4: still young. It's gonna be a challenge for these guys.
Speaker 4: It's going to be a challenge to make basis definitely
Speaker 4: going to make sure that it is going to be
Speaker 4: difficult for them to figure out the responsibilities.
Speaker 6: When it comes to the Cooper Cup punkup of problem.
Speaker 6: I think one player that I think could be a
Speaker 6: wild card and the whole ordeal defensively that could help
Speaker 6: out with the Cowboys that did not play against the Chargers.
Speaker 3: It's one Yea Thomas.
Speaker 6: I think there's an opportunity for him to be able
Speaker 6: to step up and probably have a pretty good role
Speaker 6: in being able to cover those guys, not only a
Speaker 6: man coverage, but in zone as well. I really like
Speaker 6: what I've seen from him. And then also you have
Speaker 6: Marqi's bell in that second level, and these guys are
Speaker 6: going to be coming across the middle of the field,
Speaker 6: so you have a guy who's naturally built to play
Speaker 6: and coverage. You know, those are a couple of things
Speaker 6: that I really think could play into the Cowboys favor
Speaker 6: on Sunday. And being able to stop those guys from
Speaker 6: getting across the middle and having so much action between
Speaker 6: the numbers, you know, force those guys to the boundary.
Speaker 6: If you can do that, then I think you find
Speaker 6: success in that passing game.
Speaker 1: Which one of these two receivers do you feel like
Speaker 1: has the best chance to have one hundred yards receiving
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's got to be Cups. That's always going to
Speaker 6: be cut for me, just because of what he's been
Speaker 6: able to do since coming back off the ir and
Speaker 6: he hasn't missed a step and he almost looks fresh.
Speaker 6: So yeah, for sure, I'm gonna take Cooper Cup.
Speaker 9: There.
Speaker 3: Do you agree?
Speaker 4: I'm going with Cooper Cup as well, just because of
Speaker 4: the openings and you mentioned Markue's Bell, you mentioned Oney Thomas.
Speaker 4: I think Wye Thomas could be a big a bit
Speaker 4: have a big role in this game if he can
Speaker 4: fill that void in the middle of that defense, because
Speaker 4: what happens is the majority of the defense. If you
Speaker 4: run Cover four, you have three guys underneath. If you
Speaker 4: run Cover three, you have four guys underneath, but you're
Speaker 4: you're weak in the seams. If you run man then
Speaker 4: you literally can pull everybody out the middle of the
Speaker 4: field and let Cooper Cup, you know, run his routes
Speaker 4: wherever he wants to. So there's a lot of difficulty there,
Speaker 4: but a lot of times you can run a man
Speaker 4: free where you can allow us for you to stay
Speaker 4: in the hip pocket of these guys. A little bit physical,
Speaker 4: and then you could have a Robber and Janye Thomas
Speaker 4: that can kind of float in the middle of the
Speaker 4: field and away those option routes going to the middle
Speaker 4: where Cooper Cup really wants to work.
Speaker 6: I think everybody's gonna really see the value in one
Speaker 6: year Thomas this week. I feel like that's gonna happen,
Speaker 6: and he's fully healthy. He was back on the injury
Speaker 6: report yesterday as a full participant, so it looks like
Speaker 6: he's trending to play on Sunday.
Speaker 3: My last matchup that.
Speaker 6: I'll highlight before we get into break is Michael Parsons
Speaker 6: versus the left tackle of the Los Angeles rams Alaric Jackson.
Speaker 6: I believe this.
Speaker 3: I pronounced it.
Speaker 6: Michael Parsons. He's had kind of a weird last three games.
Speaker 6: No sacks against the Patriots, none against the Niners, and
Speaker 6: obviously was flushed out in most of the Niners game,
Speaker 6: and then the one sack against the Chargers after getting
Speaker 6: in the backfield quite a bit. So it's a really
Speaker 6: good opportunity to go up against a young offensive lineman
Speaker 6: undrafted free agent in twenty twenty one out of the
Speaker 6: University of Iowa and He's got a lot of run
Speaker 6: this year with that first team, and he's been able
Speaker 6: to start. Alaric Jackson has but hasn't really found much success.
Speaker 6: He's really struggled against guys that are finesse rushers rather
Speaker 6: than power rushers. So that's exactly what you see in
Speaker 6: Michael Parsons. So I think you highlight Michael Parsons and
Speaker 6: you make him come off that left edge as much
Speaker 6: as possible on Sunday, and I think he gets home.
Speaker 1: He's got thirty eight quarterback pressures. We talked about that
Speaker 1: with Aaron Donald earlier. Parts in second in the NFL
Speaker 1: in that category. The Cowboys defensively, when they've won games,
Speaker 1: they've held their opponents to seventeen points or less. Do
Speaker 1: you think they can hold the Rams to seventeen points
Speaker 1: or less based off of the offensive weapons they bring
Speaker 1: you to the table. I, no, you don't.
Speaker 3: I don't. He said, seventeen points seventeen.
Speaker 6: I think there's a good opportunity.
Speaker 3: I think so too.
Speaker 6: I think I think it was probably it's probably not
Speaker 6: the thing that would be favored if you were asking
Speaker 6: me like a Veggas line, but I would say that
Speaker 6: I'd say there's an opportunity for sure.
Speaker 1: Well, and you look at this offensive line for the
Speaker 1: Rams too. The Rams offensive line is not very cool.
Speaker 3: They are not stout.
Speaker 1: And when Matthew Stafford and I said this on Media
Speaker 1: Mash yesterday, but when Matthew Stafford is pressured, he will
Speaker 1: make mistakes. He will absolutely throw it. We were talking
Speaker 1: earlier in the week with John about the reckless versus
Speaker 1: the uh the fearless. In that conversation, Matthew Stafford when
Speaker 1: in press when under pressure, will be reckless. He will
Speaker 1: throw it into coverage and there will be.
Speaker 3: Opportunities for takeaways.
Speaker 1: This defense has been the best to take aways.
Speaker 3: I will never.
Speaker 1: Doubt the fact that they will take the football away.
Speaker 1: It's whether or not you can get home and provide
Speaker 1: that pressure like they did against Justin Herbert and the Chargers.
Speaker 3: I think they do to have that again.
Speaker 1: I think there's a really good chance that they do
Speaker 1: not get to that seventeen point mark, but you still
Speaker 1: think they can.
Speaker 3: I think it's gonna be close to is it just
Speaker 3: because of the weapons?
Speaker 1: Like what what gives you pauses?
Speaker 4: Is McVeigh Okay McVeigh, I just I have a high
Speaker 4: regard for McVay, I really do.
Speaker 3: I get it.
Speaker 4: I also understand that that Matthew Stafford could be a
Speaker 4: walking turnover. I get that, but he's also he's a gunslinger.
Speaker 4: So if you some of the things that these guys
Speaker 4: are doing on film leads me to believe that they
Speaker 4: will have a solid game plan for Micah Parsons. If
Speaker 4: he lines up outside right, if he lines up on
Speaker 4: the defensive end, I don't think he'll be as effective
Speaker 4: as he will be if he lines.
Speaker 3: Up in the middle.
Speaker 4: I just from what how he utilizes these receivers, these
Speaker 4: tight ends. I mean, he has no problem keeping a
Speaker 4: receiver in and running his route after making the defensive
Speaker 4: end bow out or after getting a chip on the
Speaker 4: defense end.
Speaker 3: He has.
Speaker 4: He's done a good job versus other defensive ends up
Speaker 4: to this point. So I do believe that Matthew Staffer
Speaker 4: would give the ball up. I see him probably giving
Speaker 4: it up twice, but I don't see I can't foresee
Speaker 4: this defense not giving up seventeen. I think probably twenty one.
Speaker 4: I think it'll be closed, but I don't see under seventeen.
Speaker 6: When the Rams score seventeen or less of season later
Speaker 6: zero to three, I just want to throw that out there,
Speaker 6: but yeah, that was my last match up there. Talking
Speaker 6: about Michael Parsons, I think there's a really good opportunity
Speaker 6: for him to get home on Sunday. I think he
Speaker 6: gets a couple of sacks. I think he gets back
Speaker 6: on the board in a big way.
Speaker 1: We did get a quot rush kind of the same thing,
Speaker 1: but on the opposite side of the line of scrimmage.
Speaker 1: John from Baltimore asked that you mentioned ad Aaron Donald
Speaker 1: might line up in the interior, Michael Parsons might line
Speaker 1: up in the interior. When that happens from a quarterback standpoint,
Speaker 1: is it safer to roll out to design for those
Speaker 1: design rollouts, those designed bootlegs to get away from that pressure,
Speaker 1: is it? Or is it less beneficial because he's gonna
Speaker 1: have to deal with it.
Speaker 4: Regardless, Yeah, I think it's more beneficial. I don't think
Speaker 4: Matthews is not as beneficial of Matthew Stafford because there's
Speaker 4: Mike is coming, there's well Mike is coming up the middle,
Speaker 4: and you still have other guys outside you know, they
Speaker 4: their personnel as such, where you're going to be dealing
Speaker 4: with somebody.
Speaker 3: So do you think Dak should do that. I absolutely
Speaker 3: I think Dak should live there. Live on the rollout, Yeah, I.
Speaker 4: Think he should live there. I mean, no different than
Speaker 4: what you saw from from Allen last night. You know,
Speaker 4: he's most dangerous when he gets out of that pocket.
Speaker 4: You know, a touchdown pass to kink Aid. I mean
Speaker 4: he's he's rolling out, putting that linebacker into buying or
Speaker 4: you are you coming to get me or you're going
Speaker 4: to play coverage either way, like I'm gonna screw you, right,
Speaker 4: Like you can't you can't choose, right. I think Dak's
Speaker 4: best when he does that, which is why I've been
Speaker 4: so adamant about them establishing a running game so that
Speaker 4: you have to respect the run, and then he has
Speaker 4: the leverage game and the numbers game as he comes
Speaker 4: out the pocket. But Dak's best on the move. He
Speaker 4: is not best in the pocket.
Speaker 3: Yeah, what do you think?
Speaker 6: I agree there? I think there's there's been so much
Speaker 6: talk this week about Dak using his mobility more and
Speaker 6: Jerry Jerry Johnes said yesterday it's the way he's wired,
Speaker 6: you know, to be able to play that way and
Speaker 6: have that mobility aspect of his game. And Dak Prescott
Speaker 6: said yesterday. It's kind of the same thing. He wants
Speaker 6: to be able to be that dual threat type type weapon. Then,
Speaker 6: you know, then let's build on what we saw in
Speaker 6: the Chargers game. If they're able to build on that
Speaker 6: and we see more of it this week, then I
Speaker 6: think we have.
Speaker 3: Something with this offense.
Speaker 6: When it comes to juice, I think that's the juice
Speaker 6: factor that we've been kind of looking for. Is Dak
Speaker 6: being able to improvise outside of the pocket, use those legs,
Speaker 6: maybe even take some carries himself. So if we can
Speaker 6: utilize that, then, uh, you know, maybe a little bit
Speaker 6: of a orange juice there.
Speaker 3: A little orange juice, Yeah, a little little orange. No pulp,
Speaker 3: no polp? Yeah, maybe get some pulp next week.
Speaker 1: Are you more of a pulp guy or more of
Speaker 1: a less less of a polp It doesn't matter to me.
Speaker 6: Pulp fiction, Yeah, yeah, pulp, it's fiction to me. I
Speaker 6: just drink orange juice.
Speaker 3: Sweet. I love it. All right.
Speaker 1: When we come back, it's time to make some NFL picks.
Speaker 1: It's week of the NFL season. I'll update the standings. Somebody,
Speaker 1: somebody is no doubt. Uh, give us a call. Eight
Speaker 1: eight eight eight five five two two nine seven. You
Speaker 1: can be the representatives for the fans this week when
Speaker 1: we come back eight eight eight eight five five two

Speaker 6: Please?
Speaker 3: Hey? Wait there you go? All right?
Speaker 1: Isaiah standback on the season twenty two and sixteen, twenty
Speaker 1: two and sixteen, he is not in last place. John
Speaker 1: Mitchoda is in the last place spot right now. Nineteen
Speaker 1: and seventeen is John Matchoda's current record. He's the only
Speaker 1: person representative that is not hitting the twenty game mark yet.
Speaker 1: He is nineteen and seventeen. He's got one more game
Speaker 1: to go there in fourth place, but still on an
Speaker 1: absolute heater the last two weeks. Nick Harris is coming
Speaker 1: and he's only down by one game to Isaiah standing back,
Speaker 1: who sits in third. Isaiah twenty two and sixteen. Nick
Speaker 1: is twenty one and seventeen. Or I think I messed
Speaker 1: this up either way. It's close, y'all are close. You're
Speaker 1: in third year and fourth. I got to get the
Speaker 1: numbers directly right. There's some penciling going on, and then
Speaker 1: I've got twenty three and thirteen for the fans, in
Speaker 1: twenty three and thirteen for myself as well.
Speaker 4: Weird time for one game back. Let's know that's what
Speaker 4: to look at it. Go back and look at it.
Speaker 1: I gotta get I think Isaiah's number is the one
Speaker 1: that's wrong. Your number is correct, twenty one and fifteen.
Speaker 1: I think Isaiah's number is wrong because I'm doing math
Speaker 1: as I'm also talking.
Speaker 3: So I'm two games back of you. Isaiah's one game
Speaker 3: back of you.
Speaker 1: Correct, Yes, that should be the case. Yes, so Isaiah
Speaker 1: is twenty two and fourteen.
Speaker 3: Let's get his number. All right?
Speaker 1: Here we go our Pickham segment this week, and our
Speaker 1: fan representative is Anthony in Miami.
Speaker 3: Anthony, what's going on? My friend? How's it going?
Speaker 1: What's going on?
Speaker 11: Fellas a long time man?
Speaker 3: It's been a while. What's the quick question? Quick? I
Speaker 3: appreciate it, man, A quick question. Are you a Heat fan?
Speaker 11: I'm actually a sixer slash.
Speaker 6: I'll allow it. I'll allow it. We're friends already.
Speaker 3: And before we had a franchise, I was a sixer.
Speaker 3: So you gotta stay loyal.
Speaker 9: You know.
Speaker 6: I respect that. I'll give you that. We're friends already.
Speaker 3: Close last time, ty one.
Speaker 1: All right, we've got the Vikings at the Packers to
Speaker 1: start things off. Two teams in desperate need of wins
Speaker 1: in the NFC North. Anthony will start with you do
Speaker 1: the Vikings or the cheeseheads.
Speaker 3: Get it done. Oh, the bikes, the bike's got that one, Vikings,
Speaker 3: get that one done. Jordan Love's been turning the football over.
Speaker 1: Going to take the Vikings as well, Kirk Cousins gets
Speaker 1: it done. Plus it's nune Kirk Cousins. Nick said it
Speaker 1: last week.
Speaker 3: He's like eighty five and two at noon. But yeah,
Speaker 3: give me the Vikings to get it done. Isaiah purple Ray,
Speaker 3: purple Ray.
Speaker 6: Yep, give me the Vikings.
Speaker 1: Vikings Saints at the Colts. Another divisional matchup, another crucial
Speaker 1: one at that. Actually that's not a division match. I
Speaker 1: don't know what I'm talking about. That's a former Super
Speaker 1: Bowl rematch though back in the day. Remember Peyton Manning
Speaker 1: and Drew Brees. Nick Harris, we'll let you choose that one.
Speaker 6: Oh, this is a tough one, just because both of
Speaker 6: these teams have been so up and down at times
Speaker 6: this year. I'm going to take the I'm going to
Speaker 6: take the Saints though, just because there's a little bit
Speaker 6: more health involved there, especially at the quarterback position. So
Speaker 6: give me the Saints, but I don't feel great about it.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say New Orleans here as well, Isaiah, go
Speaker 3: with the blue and white, Blue and white, going with
Speaker 3: the Colts at home. I like it. Anthony, Colts got
Speaker 3: screwed last week to them.
Speaker 1: Man, Okay, that's a that's an impressive pick because he's
Speaker 1: got the background, he's got the contacts, he did his homework.
Speaker 1: All Right, We've got the all New York battle, the
Speaker 1: Battle of MetLife Stadium. The Jets walk across their hallway
Speaker 1: to face the Giants at MetLife.
Speaker 3: Isaiah, you played for the Giants. Do you pick the Giants?
Speaker 3: I do not. I am not going to pick our
Speaker 3: division rivals. I'm going with the Jets taking the Jets go,
Speaker 3: Jets go. That's not even their saying. Okay, I just
Speaker 3: created that. Okay, there you go, Nick.
Speaker 6: I'm going to take the Giants. I think they're about
Speaker 6: to put a couple of onths together before going to
Speaker 6: play the Cowboys. I think they go. I think they
Speaker 6: travel to Dallas on a three game winning straight here.
Speaker 3: Wow, take that away. That would be interesting, Anthony, impressive.
Speaker 1: Jets got the Jets, j e Ts, Jets, Jets, Jets.
Speaker 1: I'm married into a family of New Yorkers, so they
Speaker 1: are split in this one. Most of them are Jets fans.
Speaker 1: They've got some Giants fans scattered throughout there. Just for
Speaker 1: the family aspect. I'm going to take the Jets to
Speaker 1: get it done at home, but also on the road
Speaker 1: at the same time, because they're at met Life's Jags
Speaker 1: and Steelers two lost teams who have been up and down.
Speaker 1: But also I mean they've only lost two games along
Speaker 1: the way. Isaiah, I'll let you start on this one.
Speaker 1: The Jags and the Steelers, black and yellow, Black and yellow.
Speaker 3: Steelers, Yes, got it done, yep. Kenny Pickott's been looking
Speaker 3: good to baby. Yeah, he's just a hell of a coach.
Speaker 1: Give me the Jags also with a hell of a coach,
Speaker 1: and Doug Peterson. Give me Jacksonville to get it done
Speaker 1: on the road.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm gonna take Jacksonville here as well. I think
Speaker 6: I think they're one of the more sneaky AFC contenders here.
Speaker 1: Anthony, I got the Jags.
Speaker 3: Taking the Jags. So Isaiah's on an island. He could
Speaker 3: pick up a game here.
Speaker 1: Go Browns at the Seahawks, Cleveland Browns at.
Speaker 3: The Seattle Seahawks.
Speaker 1: Let's just get out of the way, go Isaiah.
Speaker 3: I come back around, Okay, Nick Harris.
Speaker 6: Noah, you can't defer. I'm gonna take I'm gonna take
Speaker 6: Seattle here.
Speaker 3: And taking Seattle and the tight one.
Speaker 1: Okay, Anthony, I am not picking against Miles Garrett h
Speaker 1: Cleveland gets it done. No Deshaun Watson in this game.
Speaker 1: By the way, just so you know, I'm taking Seattle.
Speaker 1: Who you think Frank Clark, Baby, Frank Clark.
Speaker 3: With the Seattle Fox he is.
Speaker 1: Yep, there you go, fright. You know who else is back?
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford in the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex. Babe, Yes,
Speaker 1: former Highland Park product Dallas, his own Super Bowl champion,
Speaker 1: working back to AT and T Stadium for the first
Speaker 1: time since winning that Super Bowl. It's the Cowboys hosting
Speaker 1: the Rams Sunday at noon early kickoff for the first
Speaker 1: time this season and one of two on the schedule
Speaker 1: at this point.
Speaker 3: Things get started at noon.
Speaker 1: Anthony, who you got between the Rams and the Cowboys?
Speaker 3: I got score first twenty nine, twenty six.
Speaker 11: And if you have to ask me who I got,
Speaker 11: you know him Cowboys.
Speaker 1: For taking the Cowboys, Anthony, We appreciate your support as always.
Speaker 1: Thank you for the call and good luck on your
Speaker 1: picks this week. I'm pretty sure you represented the fans quite.
Speaker 3: Well, I hope, So thanks guys.
Speaker 1: There it goes Anthony and Miami Isaiah, I'll go to
Speaker 1: you first, Cowboys Rams, who gets it done.
Speaker 3: A D versus DP. I'm gonna go with Dakota and
Speaker 3: the Boys score twenty four to twenty one, twenty four
Speaker 3: twenty one.
Speaker 6: I think they get after him in this game. I
Speaker 6: got the Cowboys by two scores. Yeah, I think it's
Speaker 6: thirty one seventeen. And I think they have a really
Speaker 6: good week out of the bye week. Everything has been
Speaker 6: trending in the right direction coming out of this bye week.
Speaker 6: I love the demeanor of everybody in the locker room
Speaker 6: right now. I think there's really good matchups on both
Speaker 6: sides that they can take advantage of that they have
Speaker 6: already proven them they can take advantage of this season,
Speaker 6: specifically Ceede Lamb against a really young secondary. On the
Speaker 6: other side of the ball, it's at that pass rush
Speaker 6: against the offensive line. So I think both of those
Speaker 6: things happen and Cowboys get a two score win.
Speaker 1: There's about two times a year where I will just
Speaker 1: absolutely jump out of the cake.
Speaker 3: I will just unleash a wild prediction. Last year one
Speaker 3: of them hit let it out.
Speaker 1: Last year one of them hit This is gonna be
Speaker 1: that game where I jump out of the cake. Cowboys
Speaker 1: are gonna get a forty burger on the Los Angeles Rams.
Speaker 1: They win this one, forty to seventeen. Just an absolute
Speaker 1: beat down at home.
Speaker 3: They play well at home.
Speaker 1: I think the matchup plays in their favor. I think
Speaker 1: Puka Nakua and Cooper Cup are held within one hundred
Speaker 1: yards under one hundred yards, and they force.
Speaker 3: Four turnovers, four of them.
Speaker 1: One of them goes back for a defensive touchdown. Offense
Speaker 1: clicks on all cylinders. I think Brandon Cooks has his.
Speaker 3: First one hundred yard game. And if all of this hits,
Speaker 3: you come.
Speaker 1: Back on Monday and we'll tell you about it for sure,
Speaker 1: especially when the Rangers are up two to nothing as
Speaker 1: well in the World Series over the Arizona Diamond Books.
Speaker 6: Part of me, what's every thing that you just said
Speaker 6: to not happen? Just we can click that, like Rangers
Speaker 6: are down to Cowboys lose by like twenty two.
Speaker 3: You don't want that to happen. I don't want it
Speaker 3: to don't want that to happen at least ob silver
Speaker 3: lining in.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it would be at least a little funny. But
Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys and I actually do believe it.
Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys dominate this game. I don't think
Speaker 1: the Rams are as good as they once were. I
Speaker 1: think they have pieces. I like Matthew Stafford, I like
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup and Pukaakua.
Speaker 3: Aaron Donald's great.
Speaker 1: I don't think they're that goods as a team, and
Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys absolutely destroy them at home. Get
Speaker 1: right to that forty burgermark. But that's about it. Forty
Speaker 1: to seventeen my final score, and that's what we're gonna
Speaker 1: end with here on Talking Cowboys.
Speaker 6: Does Brandon Aubrey break the record this week? Three field goals?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Three for three? They can't all go right. I
Speaker 3: think he misses one. Oh, I just I gotta I
Speaker 3: gotta hedge my bet milk. Come on, I gotta I
Speaker 3: gotta hedge my bet, my bet. Here.
Speaker 1: Brandon's been great though, Brandon Aubrey, how about hope.
Speaker 3: He breaks the record. That'd be cool, it'd be really
Speaker 3: really cool. All right? That does for us.
Speaker 1: Hope you had as much fun as we did this
Speaker 1: week here on Talking Cowboys. We'll be back on Monday
Speaker 1: to break it down for you. Win or lose here
