Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. This He's Talking Cowboys,
Speaker 1: Screaming live from the Dallas Cowboys World head hours at
Speaker 1: the Star in Frisi. Following to the goal line, Sallows
Speaker 1: got t takes and now your hosts, Isaiah Stanback, heck
Speaker 1: My Harrison, Rob Phillips, and Kyle Yeoman's who. Thanksgiving Week
Speaker 1: is upon us and the Thanksgiving Battle is less than
Speaker 1: I guess what it would it be thirty hours away
Speaker 1: at this point whenever we're recording this as the Cowboys
Speaker 1: and the Washington football team are on the docket, and
Speaker 1: it is a say it with your Chest Wednesday this
Speaker 1: week because guess what, we don't have a Friday podcast,
Speaker 1: so we've got to do it on Wednesday. But we're
Speaker 1: gonna do the same thing we would normally do on
Speaker 1: the Friday. We're gonna say it with our chest, much
Speaker 1: like we do every single week here on Talking Cowboys.
Speaker 1: Kyle Yeoman's here with you, Isaiah stand Back, the great
Speaker 1: Rob Phillips and Heck Harrison also along for the ride,
Speaker 1: and guys, I'm starting to kind of get a little
Speaker 1: bit excited about this matchup and we are definitely going
Speaker 1: to break it down, but first we did want to
Speaker 1: pass along our thoughts and our prayers as always for
Speaker 1: the situation that is at hand with the Dallas Cowboys
Speaker 1: and strengthen conditioning coach Marcus Paul, and the fact that
Speaker 1: we are praying for him. We want his safety and
Speaker 1: we want his family to know that we are praying
Speaker 1: for him as well. And guys, it's a tough situation overall,
Speaker 1: but there is a football game at hand this week,
Speaker 1: and I wanted to pass that along initially and know
Speaker 1: our thoughts and prayers are with him. Isaiah. Yeah, absolutely, man,
Speaker 1: we definitely want to hold him up in prayer. I'm
Speaker 1: not sure all days since of the situation, but I
Speaker 1: hate never want him to know him and a family
Speaker 1: to know that that he got a whole whole crew
Speaker 1: writing with him. So here it is. Rob. Yeah, absolutely
Speaker 1: totally agree. Um. You know, the Cowboys were going to
Speaker 1: get back to practice today. They did not practice yesterday
Speaker 1: after UM coach Paul had that medical emergency and UM,
Speaker 1: so you know that was that was scheduled to be
Speaker 1: their their main work of the week yesterday. They're going
Speaker 1: to have that today and I'm sure Coach Paul is
Speaker 1: going to be on their mind. Uh and and he's
Speaker 1: on our mind too. Best thoughts and prayers to to
Speaker 1: coach and his family. Yeah, it was. It was devastating
Speaker 1: news yesterday to learn what had happened at the Star.
Speaker 1: Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family. This
Speaker 1: is a trying time, especially, you know, obviously during this
Speaker 1: season for him and his family. I can only imagine
Speaker 1: what they're going through. But we had definitely as a
Speaker 1: Cowboys family praying for him and his family. Just wanted
Speaker 1: to throw all that out there for sure, go for it, Rob, Yeah,
Speaker 1: and Kyle, just based off of what the Cowboys announced yesterday,
Speaker 1: that's that's what we know that he was. He's in
Speaker 1: the process of undergoing further tests, and the Cowboys will
Speaker 1: keep us up to date on any any updates on
Speaker 1: how he's doing, and hopefully that is those are good
Speaker 1: updates coming along the way for Coach Paul. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I wanted to make sure our thoughts and prayers are
Speaker 1: with him and with his family during a trying time.
Speaker 1: But Rob, like you said, the Cowboys taking practice off yesterday,
Speaker 1: do you expect practice today to be either longer or
Speaker 1: more intense, just based off of the fact that it
Speaker 1: is a short week that you have to deal with.
Speaker 1: It's not like you could push it back a couple
Speaker 1: of days. You've got the game coming up tomorrow. This
Speaker 1: is ultimately a lose situation from a players standpoint, just
Speaker 1: in the fact that they don't have a whole lot
Speaker 1: of time to get on the field. Yeah, I'm not.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure exactly. I don't know that we're going
Speaker 1: to have any media access again today. We didn't yesterday,
Speaker 1: and so you know, they've got to get some work
Speaker 1: in in terms of some situational work that you would
Speaker 1: get in terms of preparation for an opponent. But at
Speaker 1: the same time, to your point, you got to get
Speaker 1: off your feet because the game's coming up on you
Speaker 1: in close to twenty four hours here. So I don't
Speaker 1: expect it to be a physical practice. It's probably going
Speaker 1: to be m you know, a lot. I wouldn't I
Speaker 1: don't know if I would call it a walkthrough, but
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to a lot of it's just in
Speaker 1: terms of mental and and and getting some of the
Speaker 1: game plan down on the field. That's probably more than anything.
Speaker 1: But it's Isaiah knows this having gone through it. It's
Speaker 1: just about trying to get your body right on four
Speaker 1: days rest to get ready to play this game, because
Speaker 1: it's not easy on seven days rest. What is that like, Isaiah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I would expect this. I would expect this to be
Speaker 1: kind of what we used to call fast Friday. Obviously
Speaker 1: fast Fridays being the last real practice before before a
Speaker 1: Saturday game. Then obviously we're a day before the Thursday game.
Speaker 1: But fast Friday is there's no pads and you're you're
Speaker 1: running your routes about three quarter speed, You're doing all
Speaker 1: your drills about three quarter speed, but you're still getting
Speaker 1: those mental reps. The positive side of this, obviously without
Speaker 1: having yesterday's practice. Um, the positive side is that you
Speaker 1: face this team already, so you're familiar. You'll be a
Speaker 1: totally different situation if this is your first time facing
Speaker 1: the team, but you know, you face these guys not
Speaker 1: too long ago. You're familiar with the personnel, You're familiar
Speaker 1: with what they do on office, defensive, special teams, so
Speaker 1: you have some kind of concept in terms of you
Speaker 1: know and being and being prepared for what they're going
Speaker 1: to bring to you. It's just a matter of breashing
Speaker 1: up on some film study and then making sure that
Speaker 1: your calls and communication are on point. Um. These guys
Speaker 1: professionals at this point, they're leaning on their offseason conditioning
Speaker 1: to make sure that they're prepared for this game. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the preparation, the preparation for this game is obviously they've
Speaker 1: they've had this in for a while, knowing that this
Speaker 1: was going to be a short week. And you want
Speaker 1: to rely on the fact that these guys are professionals
Speaker 1: and they can acclimate and pick up pick these things
Speaker 1: up easily, just with the bye week and everything and
Speaker 1: coming off victory, just hoping that that continuity sticks and
Speaker 1: these guys can continue to build off of the communication
Speaker 1: that they've had and if things are getting a lot better,
Speaker 1: especially on the defensive side. So I wouldn't think that
Speaker 1: when you say intense, I definitely don't see them doing
Speaker 1: any hitting or anything like that. But the mental prep
Speaker 1: for it is very important today and so that they
Speaker 1: will be obviously ready to morrow now, Isaiah, whatever it
Speaker 1: comes to a week to week sort of preparation. Of course,
Speaker 1: there's a ton that goes into each game plan. But
Speaker 1: if it were a kind of a cram study sort
Speaker 1: of deal wherever you're trying to get as much information
Speaker 1: and as much raps as possible kind of pushed into
Speaker 1: such a short amount of time. How of that is
Speaker 1: going to get lost? How much is they're differing from
Speaker 1: maybe the game plan that we saw against Minnesota and
Speaker 1: the game plan that we're going to see this week
Speaker 1: against Washington. I mean, nothing drastically different, right, I Mean,
Speaker 1: that's why I'm saying pretty much the guys that are
Speaker 1: out there on the field this week, or same guys
Speaker 1: plus a couple of changes. You know, the team that
Speaker 1: you play when you played Washington last time earlier in
Speaker 1: the season. So there's not a huge difference there. And
Speaker 1: that's where having played these guys recently plays a year benefit.
Speaker 1: But I mean there's not It's not a big cramp
Speaker 1: session that the players that you that the coach hasn't
Speaker 1: still that's the plays that you guys have in your playbook.
Speaker 1: They're not going to make any huge changes. There might
Speaker 1: be some more emotions, there might be some personnel changes
Speaker 1: in terms of things that in terms of alignment and
Speaker 1: things of that nature to create some mismatches, but nothing drafting,
Speaker 1: it's just a matter of just going into your playbook
Speaker 1: making some tweaks so that it looks a little bit different,
Speaker 1: But by the end of the first quarter, everybody's settling
Speaker 1: into what you do every single week anyways. And on
Speaker 1: top of just having played Washington a month ago, you know,
Speaker 1: they also are a division opponent, so from a personnel standpoint,
Speaker 1: you've already got familiarity with a lot of their players
Speaker 1: year to year. If you're a Cowboys player that's been
Speaker 1: on this team for a couple of years, so you know,
Speaker 1: I think that compared to maybe last year where you're
Speaker 1: playing and a Buffalo team that you see once every
Speaker 1: four years, I think it's not as much of a factor.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't think in terms of preparation for this particular opponent. Heckma, Yeah,
Speaker 1: my concentration has been on, you know, making sure that
Speaker 1: these guys are healthy. I know that we're injured in
Speaker 1: a lot of areas as far as the secondary Anthony
Speaker 1: Brown to be one in particular, that we're definitely gonna
Speaker 1: need coming into this matchup. So maybe the preparation or
Speaker 1: that the day off, you know, get getting these guys
Speaker 1: some extra treatment, things like that, But getting this team
Speaker 1: healthy for a division foe that we know Thursday's this
Speaker 1: is going to be a hard hitting contest. You talk
Speaker 1: about hard hitting, heck Man. You you came at you
Speaker 1: came at Washington yesterday with a little bit of fire. Yeah,
Speaker 1: a little bit of fires, just kind of saying the
Speaker 1: least I could tell a little bit. You don't like
Speaker 1: the football team. You don't. I can tell. I can
Speaker 1: feel it in your bones, especially after the twenty five
Speaker 1: three loss. Do you want me to run through this
Speaker 1: just to make you to just make your blood boil
Speaker 1: a little bit? Some of the numbers from that loss.
Speaker 1: How about Gibson twenty carries one hundred and twenty eight
Speaker 1: yards in a touchdown. Oh, that one, that one hits you,
Speaker 1: That one hits you. There seven receptions for Terry McLaurin
Speaker 1: a touchdown. You got Thomas with four receptions, sixty yards
Speaker 1: in a touchdown. Kyle Allen shushed you on the sideline
Speaker 1: and went one hundred and ninety four yards through the
Speaker 1: air with a couple of touchdowns. You went three of
Speaker 1: twelve on third down and had just twelve first downs
Speaker 1: and one hundred and forty two yards total. You mentioned
Speaker 1: it yesterday, Heckman, this is a revenge game on Thanksgiving
Speaker 1: in I want to hear about the heck Ma Harrison
Speaker 1: Revenge Tour and how that should be the Dallas Cowboys
Speaker 1: revenge tour well. And also don't forget about Cole Hokum
Speaker 1: and what he did to Ezekiel Elliot on the Blitz.
Speaker 1: You know. So it was a lot of that going on.
Speaker 1: And look, man, we have our conversations before the show,
Speaker 1: and I'm sure Isaiah has been in a few fights
Speaker 1: where he's lost, uh, and he's had to learn from
Speaker 1: getting his butt kick. Uh. He's probably the only one
Speaker 1: on the panel that's had that happened to him. But
Speaker 1: he learned something from a from a butt whipping, you know.
Speaker 1: And I think we got one and I have to
Speaker 1: And that's one of one of those things where you
Speaker 1: have to come back bigger, better and stronger, because when
Speaker 1: they turned on the film from the Washington game, they've
Speaker 1: got to say to themselves many they put it on us, right,
Speaker 1: And you start at the Bostick hit on Um on
Speaker 1: a quarterback, you know, Dalton on Andy Dalton, and you know,
Speaker 1: I think there were a lot of excuses made for
Speaker 1: the offensive line at the time for why they didn't
Speaker 1: go after Bostick, and I'm sure that as a team
Speaker 1: they sat around and they talked about that, like, look,
Speaker 1: the next time, guys, I don't care if you're trying
Speaker 1: to remember your plays or not. If a guy does
Speaker 1: your guy like that, you go after him. I mean
Speaker 1: any that's just the rule period, right, And so they did.
Speaker 1: I mean the Washington football team, they came out and
Speaker 1: they put it on us, and the Cowboys have got
Speaker 1: to have that in the back of their minds because
Speaker 1: that left the lasting sting and had everyone in the
Speaker 1: media talking about this team being gutless, heartless. I mean,
Speaker 1: we even had what Isaiah was talking about the fact
Speaker 1: that these guys probably don't hang out with each other afterwards,
Speaker 1: so they're not friends if they're allowing stuff like this
Speaker 1: to happen. So look, I just want to see this
Speaker 1: team come out and play hard, and I don't care
Speaker 1: what the score is. Somebody's all. Everybody needs to have
Speaker 1: an ice bath after this one because they're gonna be
Speaker 1: sore from all the hard hidden Isaiah, yeah, I mean yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean to heck of his point, I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: if you take an l you want to beat that team,
Speaker 1: that's pretty simple. I don't care on what you are
Speaker 1: if you're a competitor, if you consider yourself a competitor.
Speaker 1: Number One, you hate to lose. Number two, you want
Speaker 1: to have an opportunity to redeem yourself. And that's exactly
Speaker 1: what this is. And it's gonna be on the big
Speaker 1: one of the biggest showcases of the year in the
Speaker 1: NFL our thanksgiven days. So what better, what better day,
Speaker 1: what better opportunity to go out there and bust he's
Speaker 1: casting their mouth and Isaiah, let me ask you this. Now.
Speaker 1: It's it's it's one thing taking the l but it's
Speaker 1: the way they took that in right. Yeah. I mean
Speaker 1: that's got to be the thing that is lasting with
Speaker 1: this team because they can't and you can tell, like
Speaker 1: every game after that, they didn't allow for teams to
Speaker 1: push them around anymore. And you saw that with the
Speaker 1: Laden Vanderish and the Steelers game when they got tried
Speaker 1: to push him and he's pushing them away. I could
Speaker 1: tell that this team has gotten some fight in them.
Speaker 1: After that Washington game, Yeah, I mean, they got disrespected.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I quit it to sit in
Speaker 1: the chair, you know, at the DMV and somebody's coming
Speaker 1: outside and smacking you upside the back of your head, right,
Speaker 1: and you just and they just walk away like they
Speaker 1: didn't do nothing. You know, they didn't fight back. You know,
Speaker 1: they just so now they had they have an opportunity
Speaker 1: to come and fight back, and we're gonna see what
Speaker 1: they do with them hands. Do you get smacked in
Speaker 1: the head at the DMV often? Is that something that's
Speaker 1: a problem. No, No, I probably wouldn't be out here
Speaker 1: because I probably have a record that just that can't
Speaker 1: happen now, do you? Yeah? I mean I think I
Speaker 1: think the Cowboys feel like they're in a better place, Kyle.
Speaker 1: You know, in terms of guys. You guys mentioned it.
Speaker 1: Two hundred and eight rushing yards allowed to Washington, who
Speaker 1: had struggled to run the ball pre mightily for most
Speaker 1: of the season to that point, and they've gotten some
Speaker 1: of that tightened up, we think, And you know, Zeke
Speaker 1: couldn't really run the ball in that game either. The
Speaker 1: offensive line just I mean the most tenured guy they
Speaker 1: had starting was Connor Williams. That's how young they were
Speaker 1: in that game. You get Zack Martin back, you hope
Speaker 1: they're not going to allow six sacks to Andy Dalton.
Speaker 1: They allowed six to Dalton and Danucci when he came
Speaker 1: in relief. So I just think they're in a better place.
Speaker 1: And to you guys point, I think they're just more
Speaker 1: confident team right now. But maybe Washington is too. You know,
Speaker 1: they've got the same record, and Washington's coming off a
Speaker 1: couple solid performances lately. Yeah, so which team can carry
Speaker 1: over the momentum that's gonna be It's gonna be interesting.
Speaker 1: They averaged two and a half yards per play or
Speaker 1: per game, I guess whenever it came to that game.
Speaker 1: And I say one of the things that you always
Speaker 1: say is a huge key to each football game is
Speaker 1: what it's the battle of the time of possession. Well,
Speaker 1: that time of possession was not in favor of them
Speaker 1: that day. Thirty seven minutes to twenty three for the
Speaker 1: Washington football team, and they controlled that game. They really did.
Speaker 1: They had the they had that game in the bag
Speaker 1: really pretty much early on. Whenever they had the even
Speaker 1: the safety, it felt like whenever Dalton Schultz had to
Speaker 1: recover the fumble in the end zone, it seemed like
Speaker 1: from that point forward, things we're gonna go their way.
Speaker 1: But it's a new week. It's a new chance and
Speaker 1: the Cowboys have an opportunity to turn around and have
Speaker 1: some revenge, like Heckma said on one of the bigger
Speaker 1: showcases in the entire NFL on Thanksgiving Day. When we
Speaker 1: come back here, I'm talking Cowboys. We're gonna preview the
Speaker 1: Washington defense versus this Cowboys offense. How do the Cowboys
Speaker 1: prevent six secs from five different first round players? When

Speaker 1: catches Isaiah off guard every now and again. He's never
Speaker 1: caught off guard. He's never cut Stay ready to get ready,
Speaker 1: co stay ready, always ready, All right back here on
Speaker 1: Talking Cowboys, as always say it with your chess wins.
Speaker 1: We've got predictions coming up in the next segment. No,
Speaker 1: I did not get the standings updated. I forgot to look.
Speaker 1: I know, Kyle, Well, hey how about this. I can
Speaker 1: pick I'll pick a topic, I'll throw it to you,
Speaker 1: and I'll try and get it done as quickly as
Speaker 1: I can on my phone. Whenever we start talking about
Speaker 1: the preview of this Washington defense and the offense from
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, because it's only one week, I gotta catch up.
Speaker 1: I think I might be able to do it. Anyways,
Speaker 1: with that being said, this is a defense that we
Speaker 1: already went through the numbers from the last game, just
Speaker 1: completely dominated the Cowboys and held them to the lowest
Speaker 1: amount of points in an NFC East battle since two
Speaker 1: thousand and two. It had been that long since the
Speaker 1: Cowboys were held to three points in an NFC East battle.
Speaker 1: But with that being said, like we talked about a
Speaker 1: minute ago, and Rob you mentioned it first, so we'll
Speaker 1: start with you here. This Cowboys team has a little
Speaker 1: bit of swagger, has a little bit more confidence going
Speaker 1: into this matchup. You think that can translate to the
Speaker 1: offensive side of the football. Yeah, I think so. I mean,
Speaker 1: you mentioned five first round picks on Washington that's not
Speaker 1: changing on Thursday. They've still got a lot of talent
Speaker 1: up there. But I think if there's one point that
Speaker 1: maybe they've struggled at, they've still got pass rushers, but
Speaker 1: they haven't been great against the run lately. Last couple
Speaker 1: of games. I think they're giving up like five yards
Speaker 1: a carrier close to it. And when you think about
Speaker 1: what the Cowboys have been able to do. I mentioned
Speaker 1: it the other day, one hundred and fifty plus yards
Speaker 1: last three games average man. That would be right at
Speaker 1: the top of the league right now, what they're able
Speaker 1: to do. And it's been kind of that thunder and
Speaker 1: lightning deal with Zeke and with Tony Pollard. And you know,
Speaker 1: I can't stress how important it is to have Zack
Speaker 1: Martin back in the lineup this time compared to when
Speaker 1: he was out against Washington October twenty fifth with a concussion.
Speaker 1: I think that makes all the difference in the world.
Speaker 1: And you know, Connor McGovern got that start as well,
Speaker 1: so you think he'll be more prepared for this matchup
Speaker 1: than maybe he was first time around. But I look towards,
Speaker 1: you know, trying to get that running game established. You know,
Speaker 1: I think they've done a good job of that. Lately,
Speaker 1: Washington has not been happy with some of their run defense.
Speaker 1: They've kind of changed up their linebacker rotation because of it,
Speaker 1: and so you know, maybe that's an area you can
Speaker 1: try to exploit tomorrow. Now we're definitely, guys, we're trending
Speaker 1: in the right direction for our running game. And you're right,
Speaker 1: Zach Martin has made a big difference with that move
Speaker 1: out to right tackle. And so last time we played them,
Speaker 1: I mean, they pretty much bludgeoned us internally and rightfully so,
Speaker 1: our covers were bad. We had nothing for our offensive line,
Speaker 1: and they showed up and as far as the Washington
Speaker 1: football team defense, and they explored it that this game,
Speaker 1: I believe we can make that difference by having the
Speaker 1: same balance that we had the last game and just
Speaker 1: that slide protection and making sure that we can keep
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton upright. Sweat young guys many they hunt, they hunt,
Speaker 1: they hunt, and it's not the first quarter of the second.
Speaker 1: They do it for the whole game. And the way
Speaker 1: that we throw them off is by making sure that
Speaker 1: we put that running game. You know, in fact, Andy
Speaker 1: Dalton has to put on display what he did the
Speaker 1: last game and his ability to get to get the
Speaker 1: ball out of his hands. He had a few throws
Speaker 1: last week where he hit uh, he tried to get
Speaker 1: one out to Centric Wilson and he had a lot
Speaker 1: of mustard on that ball. So just calm down and
Speaker 1: he just get the ball out of your hands. And
Speaker 1: I just feel like this is going to be a
Speaker 1: game that if we can stay balanced, we can have
Speaker 1: a lot of success versus this Washington football team that
Speaker 1: plays complimentary to one another on the front end and
Speaker 1: back end. I'm looking forward to it, man, I'm really
Speaker 1: looking forward to it. I mean, this is an opportunity
Speaker 1: for this offensive line to come in. Um, it's not
Speaker 1: the same line that we had last time. So they
Speaker 1: can said, hey, that was that was our plan B.
Speaker 1: This is plan ah, here we go, you know, or
Speaker 1: really it's our plan B. This time was playing C
Speaker 1: last time, right right right? But nah, I mean and
Speaker 1: like these guys know, hey, we're about to impose our
Speaker 1: will on you. You know. That's this is man to
Speaker 1: man man. This is looking at this is looking at
Speaker 1: another grown man who's who's done well in his life
Speaker 1: and done well in his career and saying, hey, I'm
Speaker 1: glad you've you've done what you've done, but today, not today.
Speaker 1: It's not gonna go down today like that. And we
Speaker 1: don't like what you did last time. We don't like
Speaker 1: how you disrespect it. This quarterback right that's right behind me,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna come out here to show you guys
Speaker 1: what we're about. It's a it's a it's an opportunity
Speaker 1: for redemption. Like we talked about earlier, Competitors want to
Speaker 1: be in this game. Competitors want payback. They want the
Speaker 1: opportunity to to to reinstill who they are and let
Speaker 1: that other grown man know when they walk up the field,
Speaker 1: Yeah I got you today. And I know like they've
Speaker 1: they've got talent in the secondary too, Kendall Fuller and
Speaker 1: Ronald Darvey, they've done a nice job for them lately.
Speaker 1: But I just have a hard time believing that that
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper is going to be the only wide receiver
Speaker 1: to get a catch again. Yeah you know, I mean
Speaker 1: that was the other odd stat out of that game.
Speaker 1: He had seven for eighty yards, and there are only
Speaker 1: three other guys that caught passes, Dalton Schultz two for
Speaker 1: twenty two, Zeke and Pollard one for six each and
Speaker 1: that was it. Nothing for Gallup, nothing for cdee Lamb,
Speaker 1: and I just I just have a hard time believe
Speaker 1: if the protection can moderately hold, they've got a chance
Speaker 1: to be There's just more productive down the field. There's
Speaker 1: nobody on this side of the ball for us. That's
Speaker 1: not gonna be game ready. These guys can't wait. I mean,
Speaker 1: the receivers. They're mad about what happened. Whether it was
Speaker 1: a continuity with Annie Dalton or his inability to have
Speaker 1: time to throw the ball or his inefficiency of the
Speaker 1: throwing the ball, it doesn't matter, right. They know they
Speaker 1: have a different Annie Dalton, they know they have a
Speaker 1: better officer line. Zeke was mad about what happened last time, right,
Speaker 1: all these guys are gonna be are gonna be pissed off, man.
Speaker 1: So I'm looking forward to seeing the type of fight
Speaker 1: these guys come out within this game. Now lating on
Speaker 1: that too, go for it, heck, I'm sorry, go ahead, cow. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I just felt as though, like like Isaiah said, this
Speaker 1: is going to be a game where these guys a
Speaker 1: game ready and ready to go. But coming off it
Speaker 1: just a refresh your memory coming off of the Arizona game,
Speaker 1: which we were blitzed heavily coming into the Washington game,
Speaker 1: and Washington isn't known for being the blitz heavy team,
Speaker 1: but they came after us and they they stacked the
Speaker 1: box six seven guys at the time against us, And
Speaker 1: so we have to be we have to go into
Speaker 1: this game knowing that they're going to present the same thing.
Speaker 1: And I think Dalton Schultz gives you a confidence because
Speaker 1: of the way that he's played the last couple of games,
Speaker 1: but also getting CD Lamb involved. I think he had
Speaker 1: a drop or two in the game that were pivotal.
Speaker 1: I mean, there were the ones that we needed our
Speaker 1: receivers to come up big. So let's not negate the
Speaker 1: fact that we had some drops, but also things have
Speaker 1: progressed with our tight end play. That should make you
Speaker 1: guys a lot more confident going into Thursday's game. You
Speaker 1: also got to remember one of the biggest things that
Speaker 1: kind of put the Cowboys back or set the Cowboys
Speaker 1: back in that game was turnovers. Early. You can't turn
Speaker 1: over the football like they did, especially in that one.
Speaker 1: And I know there was only the one turnover, but
Speaker 1: really from that point on, you were you were you
Speaker 1: were on an uphill battle because you were down nine
Speaker 1: to nothing. That turnover ultimately ended up in nine points.
Speaker 1: So whenever it comes to that, you basically have it's
Speaker 1: we have already talked about it previously, where you have
Speaker 1: to kind of abandon the run, You got to throw
Speaker 1: the ball a lot more, and then you get Andy
Speaker 1: Dalton kind of back in the pocket scrambling around the
Speaker 1: defensive pressure comes. Do you expect them to have more
Speaker 1: of an emphasis on holding onto the football? Now they've
Speaker 1: done that the last couple of games, and they've wanted
Speaker 1: the turnover battle in the last couple of weeks. But
Speaker 1: is this something that is going to be a point
Speaker 1: of emphasis heading into tomorrow night. It's always the point
Speaker 1: of emphasis. Uh, no turnovers. I mean, it's just it's
Speaker 1: just it's not acceptable. I don't care what week it is.
Speaker 1: I don't care if it's preseason. It's just not acceptable
Speaker 1: on any team in a league. And it's something that
Speaker 1: you it's always that you always focus on because you
Speaker 1: know it's a it's a game, uh determining factor's it's
Speaker 1: that one one stat line that everybody and point to
Speaker 1: and say this decided the game. So it's something that
Speaker 1: has to be important to you. The ball is the
Speaker 1: most important thing and that's what you gotta protect. Oh
Speaker 1: heck man, Rob King, Oh your turn go ahead? Yeah, no, turnovers.
Speaker 1: Turnovers are never good man. No one likes them. And
Speaker 1: there's not one stat that a coach will look at it,
Speaker 1: especially the turnovers and say, oh, that's okay because most
Speaker 1: of the time, and what's been our m is that
Speaker 1: teams have taking those turnovers and turn those into points. So, um,
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton, and we have to say this, Andy Dalton,
Speaker 1: over the last couple of starts has turned the ball
Speaker 1: over and so maybe there will be a turnover in
Speaker 1: this game. Uh that you know the Cowboys have to overcome.
Speaker 1: That's okay, let's overcome it. And let's dick to our
Speaker 1: game plan. All right. We know that the Washington football team,
Speaker 1: as soon as they get a lead, those defenders, man,
Speaker 1: they pin their ears back and they come after you.
Speaker 1: And so no matter what, just solidifying this offensive line,
Speaker 1: we've all got to feel better about that. But again,
Speaker 1: the game plan has to be simplified, right, getting getting
Speaker 1: Zeke involved because he loves to play against the Washington
Speaker 1: football team. His numbers indicate that. So I mean, if
Speaker 1: you have any kind of fantasy going, Oh, you start
Speaker 1: Zeke this week because you know how he loves to
Speaker 1: play against the Washington football team. And if you know,
Speaker 1: if you don't turn the ball over and don't give
Speaker 1: them easy points there, they've had trouble getting off two
Speaker 1: good starts and getting leads. They've fallen behind in the
Speaker 1: second half most games. They they've had deficits. I thought
Speaker 1: this was interesting. I've just reading up on them on
Speaker 1: the Washington Post this morning. Somebody wrote, can it avoid
Speaker 1: a slow start, drive stopping mistakes on offense or big
Speaker 1: play breakdowns on defense? Can it maintain a strong pass rush,
Speaker 1: a complimentary run game, and serviceable production from the linebackers.
Speaker 1: You could be talking about Washington or you could be
Speaker 1: talking about the cal cal That's that's that's mirror images
Speaker 1: right now, two three and seven teams. That just which
Speaker 1: team is a little less sloppy, a little bit more
Speaker 1: balanced and uh and sound in their assignments is going
Speaker 1: to win this game? Because I don't think either team
Speaker 1: has a great margin with the injuries they dealt with
Speaker 1: and some of the struggles they've had. Rob is this
Speaker 1: the is the winner of this game going to win
Speaker 1: the NFC East. How about let's throw down a tough
Speaker 1: question right here, right now. Say it with your chess
Speaker 1: wins day. I mean, whenever you win, you go in
Speaker 1: the first place, sole possession. Whenever you lose, you go
Speaker 1: into sole possession of last place in the NFC East,
Speaker 1: at least for a couple of days. But I mean,
Speaker 1: looking at the schedules ahead, both teams have a favorable
Speaker 1: look to the playoffs as opposed to maybe Philadelphia or
Speaker 1: New York. So I ask you, is the winner of
Speaker 1: this game going to win the NFC East. I know
Speaker 1: I can't make any definitive statements in this season off
Speaker 1: of one game, although you make your point is that
Speaker 1: you know, if Washington sweeps this, they've got the tiebreaker,
Speaker 1: which isn't good. But if I have to pick a
Speaker 1: team with the advantage down the stretch, I go with
Speaker 1: the Cowboys because I guess you could say their schedule
Speaker 1: on paper, they've got to perform no matter who the
Speaker 1: appointment is. But I just think offensively, they have more
Speaker 1: pieces than any team in the division, and when you're
Speaker 1: playing games on the road this year, there's less to
Speaker 1: prevent you from from executing offensively this year because of
Speaker 1: the lack of crowds across the league. That's why I
Speaker 1: give the Cowboys a little bit of advantage. Despite all
Speaker 1: these injuries on offense, I still think they have more pieces.
Speaker 1: Oh man, every time you try and get out, they
Speaker 1: pull you back in, always, always. But that's that's indicative
Speaker 1: of how bad the NFC East has been. And I
Speaker 1: think that anybody who can look at this division, and
Speaker 1: what ticks me off is the people that do they say, well,
Speaker 1: the Giants have the lego up in this division. The
Speaker 1: Giants have a first year head coach and just like
Speaker 1: the Cowboys do. But for some reason we don't get
Speaker 1: the benefit of the doubt with that. But here's what
Speaker 1: here's what our for the Cowboys. This is well either way,
Speaker 1: I just feel like we have the leg up here.
Speaker 1: This is a must win game and we do ourselves
Speaker 1: a favor by getting a victory this Thursday, right, and
Speaker 1: so just let everything take care of itself. And I
Speaker 1: think that's what the new philosophy is. We don't want
Speaker 1: to talk about down the road. We want to talk
Speaker 1: about this game and so we know how important it is.
Speaker 1: And yeah, it looks on paper as though we have
Speaker 1: an easy remainder of schedule. But like you said, Rob,
Speaker 1: we gotta go out there and we gotta prove it
Speaker 1: no matter who the opponent is. Yeah, I mean between
Speaker 1: the two teams. Between the two teams, I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: with Dallas. I think both teams are improving, and I
Speaker 1: think that's dangerous because because of the defensive a presence
Speaker 1: of Washington. I know they've been given up to run
Speaker 1: a lot. But if those guys decide not to let
Speaker 1: that happen, they can so hopefully, hopefully they decide this
Speaker 1: week just to let us run a little bit. But
Speaker 1: I mean, both guys. Both teams have great offensive threats.
Speaker 1: Both teams have great defensive threats. It's just a matter
Speaker 1: of who's gonna show up. That's really what it comes
Speaker 1: down to. If these guys make a decision that they
Speaker 1: want to go out here and win the rest of
Speaker 1: their games. Um, I think either team is capable of it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And which Andy Dalton is gonna show up? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: Which Andy Dalton is gonna show up tomorrow is very
Speaker 1: important starting with hackma, hackma, give me one player tomorrow
Speaker 1: that has to have his best game of the season
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys to come out with a win. Ezekiel
Speaker 1: Elliott and why. I mean it's we saw how easy
Speaker 1: it was for us to get in rhythm versus Minnesota. Uh.
Speaker 1: With Zeke running the ball, I think he's the He's
Speaker 1: the caveat to all of this. I mean, and he's
Speaker 1: what we've been missing this season. It's just hit those
Speaker 1: hard runs from Zeke, the the ones that keep the
Speaker 1: clock going, time of possession in our favor. I just
Speaker 1: feel like against a good Washington football team, that's gonna
Speaker 1: be the deciding factor, especially to break the back of
Speaker 1: their defense. They have the strong point of that team.
Speaker 1: So that's where we have to win on that side
Speaker 1: of the ball. Rob Connor McGovern, you know that they'd
Speaker 1: made the switch to Zach on the right side, right
Speaker 1: tackle because they felt like he's earned the opportunity to
Speaker 1: play and play guard there and Payne and Jonathan Allen.
Speaker 1: That's as tough a matchup as it gets for a
Speaker 1: young player. So can he handle that? Can you handle that? Again?
Speaker 1: And he showed up when he's been asked to play. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, how how can he help them in pass
Speaker 1: protection and in the run game? To hex point, that's
Speaker 1: the upfront is is the key to this game, no question.
Speaker 1: See Rob, I thought you were gonna try to steal
Speaker 1: mines Man, but you went with the other Connor bro
Speaker 1: I'm going with Connor Williams. All right, Connor Williams has
Speaker 1: to play better than he played last time. He was
Speaker 1: a veteran on the offensive line last time we face
Speaker 1: these guys. Um. Now he's no longer that. But I
Speaker 1: think that if that, if he plays the way that
Speaker 1: he's capable of playing, if he steps his game up
Speaker 1: a little bit and we solidify this offensive line, it
Speaker 1: sets us up for success in a throwing game. It
Speaker 1: sets us up for success in a running game. Both
Speaker 1: of those aspects. We established a run, we establish a pass.
Speaker 1: If we can secure those front guys on the front floor, Um,
Speaker 1: I think we're gucci if that's the case. What's your
Speaker 1: favorite Thanksgiving side, Isaiah? Go mac and cheese. I love
Speaker 1: me some mac and cheese. Rob. Dressing, Oh the dressing? Okay, Okay, No,

Speaker 1: I just know I didn't I didn't take Cincinnati. I
Speaker 1: did not take Cincinati. You take Washington. Do you wanna
Speaker 1: do you want to hug man? You want to hug
Speaker 1: it out, Bron. I don't want to hug it out.
Speaker 1: What I want is for the record to know, Bro,
Speaker 1: I took Washington. I just went back and you did.
Speaker 1: You didn't listen to it, right because I listen. I'll
Speaker 1: go back and listen to it. You say, host out,
Speaker 1: he's a little hostile. Are you? Are you anticipating the food?
Speaker 1: Is that what it is like? Do you have a
Speaker 1: are you? Are you angry? Are you fingry? So here's
Speaker 1: the thing. I took Washington, and I know I did.
Speaker 1: So I only lost one game. I'm gonna clip that
Speaker 1: lost one. I'm gonna clip this and then I'm gonna
Speaker 1: clip the clip pick and then I'm gonna send it
Speaker 1: to But okay, so I took the football. All these
Speaker 1: records on predictions, all these records are under review. They're
Speaker 1: under further review pinning last week and this week just
Speaker 1: because of how I was having to listen to it
Speaker 1: in the middle of the show. But here's the records
Speaker 1: unofficially at this very moment. Heckma gained some ground. He
Speaker 1: only lost two games last week, once against the Packers,
Speaker 1: and the one under review is the Washington and Cincinnati game,
Speaker 1: which he definitely picked Cincinnati. Anyways, with that being said,
Speaker 1: with that being said, we're going at twenty and nineteen.
Speaker 1: At the moment, he's back in a winning record, and
Speaker 1: he's tied with me for third place. So it's me
Speaker 1: and Heckma twenty and nineteen third play. Hey, hey, hey, listen,
Speaker 1: heck well man, chill, just chill out. Go back. We'll
Speaker 1: go back and listen to it, my friend, it's under review.
Speaker 1: Just give me a little bit of goodness. Anyways, right this,
Speaker 1: so twenty and nineteen is our record. He may be
Speaker 1: in third place, I might be in last. That's fine.
Speaker 1: Rob is in first place at twenty three and sixteen,
Speaker 1: and Isaiah's sitting at twenty two and seventeen. I will
Speaker 1: give an update on Twitter, finally figure this out. So
Speaker 1: everybody still with still within three games? Yeah, this is
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Well, also, you picked the Cowboys, Heckma, So
Speaker 1: there's at least two games that you've lost that so
Speaker 1: maybe three games. I'm sorry, can you repeat that? You say, Hey,
Speaker 1: you picked against the Cowboys against the Cowboys last week,
Speaker 1: you picked against him, You picked against the Cowboys. So
Speaker 1: you've lost at least two games. Wow, so we're gonna
Speaker 1: really guess that. Yeah, I know, isn't that crazy? Okay,
Speaker 1: Week twelve, we're gonna have to blow through this pretty
Speaker 1: quick because heck was taken up all these Okay, here
Speaker 1: we go Sunday. This is a Sunday kick off the
Speaker 1: Titans and the Colts, both teams at seven and three.
Speaker 1: Since you are so belligerent today, you're gonna let you
Speaker 1: start us off Titans against the Coats. I'm on Titans.
Speaker 1: M Okay, Rob give me the Titans as well. Okay,
Speaker 1: Isaiah put me into Lee Indy, Oh, Indy, right there.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna Isaiah might gain a game here because I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go with the Titans on the road. I think
Speaker 1: they're just playing better at the moment. All right, Barry
Speaker 1: Churches ringing my phone and just interrupted everything. The Panthers
Speaker 1: and the Vikings, and Barry stop calling me. We're on
Speaker 1: a podcast, my friend. Uh. Panthers and the Vikings both
Speaker 1: teams with four wins, and both teams really in need
Speaker 1: of a potential pick me up. After the Panthers got
Speaker 1: to win last week, the Vikings did not let's I'll
Speaker 1: start it off. I'm gonna say the Vikings rebound at
Speaker 1: home against Matt rule Ling Company, Isaiah, who you got
Speaker 1: as much as I like PJ. Walker with my time
Speaker 1: in XFL. I'm gonna go with uh with the Vikings. Eckma,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Vikings. Two guys, I'm going Vikings. Yeah
Speaker 1: it is Teddy Bridgewater out. Yes he is for Carolina. Well,
Speaker 1: then I'll take Minnesota. Okay. We I think all of
Speaker 1: us except for Hekma picked the Buccaneers last week and
Speaker 1: they let us down on Sunday Night football. But we're
Speaker 1: gonna have this one Kansas City. No no, no, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: no no. I'm gonna get mad here because I picked
Speaker 1: the Ram. Oh you did? You did? Oh you did?
Speaker 1: I marked it down? Rob did pick the Rams. Rob
Speaker 1: picked the Rams, marked it down. Don't worry. I got it.
Speaker 1: I got it. I got it. So Chiefs straight now,
Speaker 1: Chiefs on the road against the Buccaneers. The Chiefs at
Speaker 1: nine and one and starting to kind of find some rhythm,
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers kind of pitter pattering at seven and four. Rob,
Speaker 1: who you got bat Mahomes? Chiefs, Here you go HEKMA,
Speaker 1: guns up at homes, guns up Texas Tech Reference. Okay, isah,
Speaker 1: I'm going with I'm going with the part owner of
Speaker 1: the Royals. You're not going with the part owner of
Speaker 1: the of what your last team was and the Patriots
Speaker 1: and mister Tom Brady part owner of your heart. I
Speaker 1: need to say TB twelve. I'm disappointed in his laughter
Speaker 1: of sportsmanship following the game. Yeah, that was with me. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was a little little nuts, right, What do you
Speaker 1: think about that? As a as a player? I know
Speaker 1: how competitive he is, and I know that when I
Speaker 1: was when I was a young kid and I lost
Speaker 1: on the sticks and I turned the whole system off
Speaker 1: and everybody got to leave. So I'm sure that's what
Speaker 1: he's I'm sure that's what he's going through right now.
Speaker 1: But he's he's over forties, so we got to cancel that.
Speaker 1: He could do better. That's the second time this this
Speaker 1: year he's done that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, out oh man,
Speaker 1: turn it off the sticks. I forgot if I made
Speaker 1: a pick. But Chiefs is where I'm where I'm going
Speaker 1: with there. Let's go to Thanksgiving early morning matchup Texans
Speaker 1: on the road against the Lions combined seven wins between
Speaker 1: the teams. Detroit, of course, always their tradition to host
Speaker 1: a Thanksgiving game along with the Cowboys Texans. Mmm, what's
Speaker 1: going on in Houston. I'm gonna pick the Lions in
Speaker 1: this one, just because I think they have a little
Speaker 1: bit more firepower right now than the Houston Texans. Isaiah,
Speaker 1: I'm flying by my waist. I'm gonna go with to Texans. Mmm. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're going to Texas too. I don't know, I haven't
Speaker 1: watched either team all year. I'll go Detroita. Oh, okay,
Speaker 1: one of the game. I'm I'm gonna go Detroit as well. Okay,
Speaker 1: let me get another game name. Let know isaiahs. Isaiah's
Speaker 1: on an island twice in this one. Okay, Thursday, Land Island, Uh,
Speaker 1: Thursday Thanksgiving? Of course? The night matchup the Ravens on
Speaker 1: the road against the ten and owned Steelers. Is it?
Speaker 1: Is it easy to say that the Ravens are kind
Speaker 1: of having a tough time right now? I mean they're
Speaker 1: not necessarily looking like the same Ravens as the Cowboys
Speaker 1: prepared to take them on next Thursday. Who has to
Speaker 1: pick first? I'll pick Steelers. Still get to win here,
Speaker 1: HACKM I go. I'm going Steelers. Okay, I'll go Ravens there, dude,
Speaker 1: to get back on Steelers. Gotta lose some time right
Speaker 1: right at some point down the road, but just not
Speaker 1: this week, Isaiah Division rivals. Man, I'm going with Steelers,
Speaker 1: all right, there you go? All right, here's our game.
Speaker 1: Cowboys leave. I'm not careful. Yeah, I know. If Rob's
Speaker 1: gonna say go first on this one, un go first
Speaker 1: on this one. Wants to go first? Cowboys in the
Speaker 1: Washington football team Thursday match, here me to go first.
Speaker 1: Totos tostitos, come on, believ all right, I will go first.
Speaker 1: We got this is the big payback match, and I'm
Speaker 1: coming back home, all right, Rob, I yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: we touched on it. I think the Cowboys. Maybe Washington
Speaker 1: is too, but I think the Cowboys are a much
Speaker 1: different team than we saw a month ago in DC.
Speaker 1: So I'll go Cowboys. Uh twenty four Giants twenty you
Speaker 1: I forgot to get the points. Excuse me? H? Thirty
Speaker 1: one thirty one thirteen. Oh wow, you think it's gonna
Speaker 1: be a pretty dominant win for the Cowboys. Yep, I
Speaker 1: like that, okay. Thirty four thirty four twenty one Cowboys
Speaker 1: thirty four twenty one Cowboys. I like, that ends nothing
Speaker 1: to me. I might be able to grab a game here.
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. I don't think the Cowboys are
Speaker 1: losing this game. I think the Cowboys come out. I
Speaker 1: think they play inspired. I think they play for the
Speaker 1: revenge Tour. I also think they play a little bit
Speaker 1: for Marcus Paul. And so I think the Cowboys come
Speaker 1: out and I think they have some fire this week,
Speaker 1: and the Cowboys are gonna win this one. Let's say,
Speaker 1: let's say thirty to seventeen. Thirty seventeen is my score
Speaker 1: for this one, and the Cowboys come out. I'm so
Speaker 1: confused by Kyle and Heckma's you know, the loyalty. I mean,
Speaker 1: because you know, if I remember correcting me, Heckma said
Speaker 1: he never picks against the Cowboys, and then there is
