Speaker 4: I'm Kyle Yeomen's gentleman.
Speaker 2: How we doing today? Doing well?
Speaker 5: Doing well?
Speaker 4: Doing well?
Speaker 2: Doing good? We're talking about peppers this morning. Kyle. Are
Speaker 2: you a pepper guy? Are you like like spicy? For
Speaker 2: just spicy in general?
Speaker 3: I will say since I began dating my now wife Loreina.
Speaker 3: She's all about it. She wants her face to burn
Speaker 3: when she eats fish. And I was never really that way.
Speaker 3: I liked spice, but too much spice was not my thing.
Speaker 3: Now it's gotten to the point where it's like I
Speaker 3: invite it as well because she'll eat it, and then
Speaker 3: I'll eat whatever she doesn't.
Speaker 2: It's just kind of that thing, so I've gotten used
Speaker 2: to it.
Speaker 3: They have a hot Hot Sauce challenge on air now,
Speaker 3: I'd love to see that.
Speaker 4: Just spice to eat spice is one thing.
Speaker 3: I don't know about that, but like if it's a
Speaker 3: part of like Thay Food or Text Mex or whatever
Speaker 3: it ends up being, then yeah, hot spice challenge.
Speaker 2: No, I don't care about that.
Speaker 4: Why would you do that? That's just inflicting pain upon yourself,
Speaker 4: that's all that is.
Speaker 5: I'm so gay. In fact, I want to like throw
Speaker 5: in at some point, like a bet to where I lose.
Speaker 2: And oh darn darn hot Chip do it. Let's let's
Speaker 2: say one day, let's just do a show where where
Speaker 2: Nick has to.
Speaker 6: Do hot sauce, just just just elevated hot sauces every segment.
Speaker 2: I like that.
Speaker 5: That would be fun. Actually, that would be fun.
Speaker 2: I think we can make this happen. I'm pretty sure
Speaker 2: would be fun.
Speaker 3: I think we can make this happen. I wonder if
Speaker 3: we have a hot sauce sponsor. I don't think we
Speaker 3: have a hot sauce sponsor.
Speaker 2: I've never heard of it. So if that's the case,
Speaker 2: then we would just put unbranded hot sauce all the
Speaker 2: way through.
Speaker 3: I have some stuff, and then every time we say
Speaker 3: maybe like every time we say a certain word, you
Speaker 3: have to like elevate your your hot sauce.
Speaker 7: I'm into him doing it. Oh yeah, there's no chance
Speaker 7: of doing that. I would The thing we were talking
Speaker 7: about before is I was like, anytime I eat anything
Speaker 7: that's really spicy, it just it ruins the rest of
Speaker 7: the meal because my mouth is sunfire, right, I have
Speaker 7: no other taste buds for anything else, So it's like
Speaker 7: the meal isn't even enjoyable after that, I.
Speaker 2: Don't do it. I'll do it with you. Yeah.
Speaker 6: I became like infatuated with it when I was finishing
Speaker 6: up my career in like twenty thirteen in Jacksonville, Like,
Speaker 6: for whatever reason, I started trying to grow like peppers,
Speaker 6: like scorpion peppers and ghost peppers and all that stuff,
Speaker 6: and I just became.
Speaker 2: And it was too hot down there, but too much.
Speaker 2: It was too much, But.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I started like doing it. So then I started
Speaker 6: having my staff do it like little challenges. Actually, matter
Speaker 6: of fact, the first time we did it was with
Speaker 6: the training staff, and I never I never forget.
Speaker 2: Man, we're sitting up there. You guys remember black Man
Speaker 2: the receiver.
Speaker 5: Yeah, just j yeah, yeah. State.
Speaker 6: So we're sitting in the training room and I give
Speaker 6: we challenged. So I collected a bunch of money. I
Speaker 6: was like, hey, everybody, put money in the pot. We're
Speaker 6: gonna give it to these trainers during camp because you know,
Speaker 6: they don't make a ton of money, right, So all
Speaker 6: these interns, so I was like, put money in the pot,
Speaker 6: and whoever, whatever intern does it, you know.
Speaker 2: And so you have to bite the pepper. You have
Speaker 2: to eat the pepper, eat the whole thing.
Speaker 6: You have to chew it, chew it up for a minute,
Speaker 6: swallow this pepper, and then you have to wait at
Speaker 6: least five minutes before you can have anything to drink.
Speaker 6: That was the chat, right, So we're sitting up here
Speaker 6: and we watch these traders. They're they're going through it now, right,
Speaker 6: because there's there's like like three grand in the pot
Speaker 6: at this point, right, so that's solid money.
Speaker 2: So these guys are chewing it and they're dying like
Speaker 2: they're hurting so bad.
Speaker 6: And I turned to somebody taps me in my shoulder
Speaker 6: and I'm like, turn around and and black is sitting
Speaker 6: up there.
Speaker 2: Just ain't that bad. It's like profusely so he would
Speaker 2: have the straightest face.
Speaker 7: So that plays into exactly what I was talking about. Sorry,
Speaker 7: I was like, Okay, Lebron James obviously a great athlete.
Speaker 7: You're you're born with a lot of that, and I
Speaker 7: believe it's the same thing with how you handle different
Speaker 7: spices and things like that. Either you either you have
Speaker 7: it or you don't. It's like people like you jumping.
Speaker 7: It's not just like no, no, no, you just got
Speaker 7: to start out slow.
Speaker 4: And you can up.
Speaker 2: You can build your palette up.
Speaker 7: You think that's what Justin Blackman was.
Speaker 8: No, No, he was Listen when I say this dude
Speaker 8: had the straightest face in the World's like, that's not
Speaker 8: that bad. He's looking at me, but I'm looking at
Speaker 8: he has no idea that he's like just dripping sweat.
Speaker 2: Was hilarious.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's kind of like being an athlete, like something,
Speaker 3: are born with it. Sure they think people just go
Speaker 3: outside and the building and just work out all the time,
Speaker 3: and so they get a forty inch vertical some point.
Speaker 3: You think you think Justin You think Justin Berlanders sits
Speaker 3: there and just it was just man. He did so
Speaker 3: many weights, so that's why he could throw ninety seven
Speaker 3: in the first inning and one oh three in the ninth.
Speaker 7: Sure, you just born with stuff.
Speaker 2: It's just stamina, that's all right.
Speaker 5: Justin Blackman ran a four four six at the forty
Speaker 5: so you think he was just down in ghost peppers
Speaker 5: before they bro I hearrd.
Speaker 2: We get to the bathroom, O man. Yeah, that's fair.
Speaker 2: All right, Let's get to news and notes. Nicky Nick Harris.
Speaker 4: Sorry, I keep looking out a Nicks Nick dumb every
Speaker 4: time I look at it.
Speaker 2: We hadd a Nicole and I and now I call
Speaker 2: her name too. And then there's Nicky Harrison.
Speaker 3: So there's Nick Eatan, Nick Harris, Nicole and then Nick
Speaker 3: NICKI Harrison up top. That's I mean, it's abound to happen.
Speaker 3: Nick Harris the better Nick is on our show.
Speaker 6: Wow, Uh.
Speaker 4: With that being said, we've got some notes to get to.
Speaker 4: Cowboys made a signing yesterday.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we don't have a lot of news and notes,
Speaker 5: so you know, Tuesdays are typically the most dead days
Speaker 5: around here. But the big one that is, you know,
Speaker 5: being talked about quite a bit. So the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 5: They hosted Marteves Bryant for a private workout yesterday. We
Speaker 5: talked about it news and notes yesterday. They ended up
Speaker 5: signing Bryant to a practice squad deal. He will fill
Speaker 5: the only remaining spot on the practice squad. They agreed
Speaker 5: to terms yesterday. He will officially sign today, thirty one
Speaker 5: years old. As we mentioned yesterday, one hundred and fifty
Speaker 5: four yards during the spring season of the XFL in
Speaker 5: eight games, not a ton of production. I am very
Speaker 5: curious to see, you know, what is behind this signing.
Speaker 5: There's I'm very curious to see he was behind this signing.
Speaker 2: I'll just leave it at bet.
Speaker 3: I mean, the workout happened yesterday when we were on
Speaker 3: site at Black Rifle Coffee, so neither one of us,
Speaker 3: none of us really had an opportunity to see exactly
Speaker 3: what the workout was. And even if we did we
Speaker 3: probably couldn't talk about it, but it had to be
Speaker 3: something for them to sign him to a practice squad
Speaker 3: deal because they only had the one spot available and
Speaker 3: they used it on a wide receiver. Is he going
Speaker 3: to be elevated inactive on game day? Maybe, I mean
Speaker 3: especially down the line. Maybe in a couple of weeks.
Speaker 3: I doubt it's this week, but still something to keep
Speaker 3: an eye on.
Speaker 2: John.
Speaker 3: When you look at a move like this, is this
Speaker 3: just kicking the tires bringing a guy in nothing more
Speaker 3: than that for the most part.
Speaker 7: Yeah, because it's twenty twenty three. If it was twenty eighteen,
Speaker 7: I'd say, oh, yeah, no, this makes sense. This is
Speaker 7: going to be a piece they had in and he's
Speaker 7: going to contribute right away. But I mean, it's been
Speaker 7: a long time since he's played NFL football and was
Speaker 7: very productive, so I'll be very surprised that this makes
Speaker 7: it this move makes an impact on this team this season.
Speaker 7: I think that Jalen Tolbert's heading in a good direction.
Speaker 7: I think Brandon Cooks needs more opportunities. This just it
Speaker 7: just doesn't look like a move where all sudden it's like, Okay,
Speaker 7: they're going to put him in the lineup, like we
Speaker 7: said yesterday with t Why Hilton a year ago, and
Speaker 7: then all of a sudden that this is just going
Speaker 7: to immediately pay some dividends. I would be very surprising.
Speaker 7: This is kicking the tires. If you get something out
Speaker 7: of it, great, If not, you really didn't invest much
Speaker 7: in it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you mentioned Jalen Tolbert. I don't think we've talked
Speaker 3: about him a whole lot this week, but again, he
Speaker 3: had his first career touchdown grab on Sunday against Philadelphia.
Speaker 3: I say, based off of what you've seen from Jalen Tolbert,
Speaker 3: do you feel like he becomes more of an involved
Speaker 3: receiver because he's continued to have good snaps on special teams,
Speaker 3: he's continued to build a.
Speaker 2: Role on offense. If he can continue in.
Speaker 3: That right direction, do you feel like he'll get more
Speaker 3: snaps and more looks.
Speaker 2: I believe so.
Speaker 6: I believe he's earning the trust of this entire coach
Speaker 6: of staff and that's why he's getting more opportunities on
Speaker 6: special teams.
Speaker 2: He's having an impact there.
Speaker 6: Now he's given more opportunities offensively, he's starting to have
Speaker 6: impact there. This is the you know he's arriving and
Speaker 6: he's arriving, he's starting to build his confidence in all
Speaker 6: aspects of when he's out in the field, and the
Speaker 6: coaches are starting to trust him with those opportunities. So
Speaker 6: I mean, I think you're going to continue to see
Speaker 6: more of him, and I think you'll start seeing, you know,
Speaker 6: more diverse looks with him in terms of the things
Speaker 6: that he's doing in the game. You know, sometimes when
Speaker 6: you're trying to get you know, a young guy's feet wet,
Speaker 6: he's he's usually on run plays, which is what his
Speaker 6: role was at first, and now then you start giving
Speaker 6: them a couple of short passes, and then you start
Speaker 6: giving him some you know, actually designed plays to go
Speaker 6: to him. And I think that's what you're starting to
Speaker 6: see now as an added element to this offense. So
Speaker 6: I think you'll start seeing him get some of the
Speaker 6: same opportunities that Gallup gets.
Speaker 2: To be honest with you.
Speaker 5: I for me, when I'm looking at Martavis Brian specifically,
Speaker 5: it's slow risk and it's a thing that could pay
Speaker 5: off down the line. Do I think it will? I
Speaker 5: don't think.
Speaker 9: So.
Speaker 5: He's a red zone guy, and I wouldn't say that
Speaker 5: this team probably has a confident ze red zone target.
Speaker 5: So let's say it works out and he's able to
Speaker 5: step onto an NFL field by week twelve or week
Speaker 5: thirteen or whatever, then you know, then I have a
Speaker 5: guy that can go up and grab it. But as
Speaker 5: of right now, I just don't see that. But again,
Speaker 5: that's that's the question that we'll have today, probably for
Speaker 5: Mike McCarthy at three thirty, which they're not holding practice today,
Speaker 5: just uh, just press conference in an open locker room today.
Speaker 5: So kind of a weird schedule this week. But yeah,
Speaker 5: three thirty Mike, Mike McCarthy press conference. That will certainly
Speaker 5: be the hot topic is what's what's behind Martavis Bryant?
Speaker 5: What did they see during the workout that led them
Speaker 5: to believe that there's some confidence there?
Speaker 2: Any other news and notes on top of what was
Speaker 2: a slow Tuesday.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was that was really about it. The North
Speaker 5: Texas me and Green started want to know how about that?
Speaker 5: Let's go go mean Green.
Speaker 4: Other than that, no, college basketball's back.
Speaker 2: Everybody was excited about that.
Speaker 4: Isaiah, No, you're still in football season.
Speaker 2: That's it.
Speaker 3: You got, you got you dub Rowland, you got Michael
Speaker 3: Pennix junior, trying to see them. I have my way
Speaker 3: in the Heisman Rays looking to see what happens with
Speaker 3: Michigan so my boys could slide into the top four.
Speaker 5: They're not going to get suspended, Like they're not going
Speaker 5: to liket.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's not happening. Sorry, but either way, we're still
Speaker 2: going to be in the top four as long as
Speaker 2: we went out.
Speaker 5: I put it on Twitter last night. I hope like
Speaker 5: everyone goes twelve and one, just so we can see
Speaker 5: like chaos and like Florida State goes thirteen to zero
Speaker 5: and the winner of a high state Michigan goes thirteen
Speaker 5: to know and that everyone else goes twelve and one.
Speaker 5: I just want to see chaos.
Speaker 2: No, we did not need to lose.
Speaker 7: He does not need a loss twelve and okay, hold up,
Speaker 7: I'll figure sight right now. Okay, is Georgia they lose
Speaker 7: to Alabama?
Speaker 5: Lose to Alabama.
Speaker 7: I think Georgia and Alabama the other two teams along
Speaker 7: with I do not think they'll keep a one one
Speaker 7: lost Georgie out if they're one loss of Alabama.
Speaker 5: Can you keep a one loss Texas out? Even though
Speaker 5: they went to Tuscaloosa and beat Alabama by ten points.
Speaker 5: See that chaos.
Speaker 7: That's what I wanted, that one would be tough.
Speaker 4: It almost begins the circle of college football.
Speaker 2: You guys put some respect on Washington now.
Speaker 5: Twelve and one losing to Oregon, the team that they
Speaker 5: beat at home. I'm just I'm just throwing hi.
Speaker 7: I just can't see it.
Speaker 2: One lost.
Speaker 7: I can't see a one last Georgia not getting in.
Speaker 5: They would take that scenario, Ground wouldn't be a champion,
Speaker 5: and right, the SEC could be left out at that end.
Speaker 7: But about a back to back national champion that that
Speaker 7: would have one loss, It's wild.
Speaker 2: Somebody don't think I don't think they keep them out either.
Speaker 7: I can't see that.
Speaker 3: There are plenty of scenarios there with college football, and
Speaker 3: we can talk about that all day. We love college football.
Speaker 3: I'm wearing my draft show shirt today, going Hawks.
Speaker 2: Goat Dogs for Isaiah sat Ducks.
Speaker 7: Who sounds that's what I heard. I heard Ducks in there.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: Let's take our first break.
Speaker 3: When we come back, though, we will preview Cowboys defense
Speaker 3: versus the Giants offense and what they bring to the table.
Speaker 3: No Danny Dimes this time around. It's a different looking
Speaker 3: Giants front. What do they bring to the table, What
Speaker 3: do they have for this Dallas defense and how can
Speaker 3: Dallas continue to build in the right direction.
Speaker 2: We'll talk about that when we come back.
Speaker 10: Right after this, Todd thought it would be secure to
Speaker 10: jog in the cheatah Savannah. Todd believed the big cat
Speaker 10: repellent he bought online was reliable. And now Todd is
Speaker 10: trying to be faster than this cheetah that can run
Speaker 10: eighty miles per hour. But the good news is Todd
Speaker 10: has AT and T five G. It is fast, reliable,
Speaker 10: and secure, and he learned the best thing to do
Speaker 10: is stop running and toss her the backpack with the
Speaker 10: beef stew At and T five G. Fast, reliable, secure,
Speaker 10: It's not complicated.
Speaker 11: Five G requires compatible planning device. Five G may not
Speaker 11: be available in your area. See att dot com slash
Speaker 11: five G for you for details.

Speaker 13: Welcome back into Dear Doctor, the show where I answer
Speaker 13: life's questions with an ice cold can of doctor pepper. Sheila,
Speaker 13: let's hear from my next caller, would you, Dear doctor?
Speaker 10: My friend supported me during a tough time. But what's
Speaker 10: the right gift that says thanks for.
Speaker 9: Being a shoulder to cry out.
Speaker 13: Okay, this one's easy. I say, give her a delicious
Speaker 13: Doctor Pepper. Nothing says thanks good better than one of
Speaker 13: a kind soda. Yes, any Doctor Pepper flavor will do. Now,
Speaker 13: just a reminder that I don't need to be a
Speaker 13: real doctor to know that Doctor Pepper is the one
Speaker 13: you deserve.
Speaker 3: Better to Talking Cowboys, bank here on Talking Cowboys. This
Speaker 3: portion of the show is brought to you by Quaker Oats,
Speaker 3: a super trusted superfood. Quaker Oats the official oatmeal sponsor
Speaker 3: of the Dallas Cowboys. It's Week ten of the NFL season,
Speaker 3: and we officially turned the page today to take a look.
Speaker 2: At the New York Giants and what they bring.
Speaker 4: You to the table. And just to be honest, offensively,
Speaker 4: it doesn't look like much.
Speaker 2: It is the NFL.
Speaker 3: These guys do get paid on the opposite side of
Speaker 3: the line of scrimmage. We've already seen one team at
Speaker 3: least this year, Week three, Arizona team that we looked
Speaker 3: at and said they don't bring much either, and that
Speaker 3: ended up in a loss.
Speaker 4: So you can't take anybody lightly.
Speaker 2: But let's just say it this way. There's no Danny Dimes.
Speaker 3: There's no Evan Neil at the right tackle spot. Those
Speaker 3: are two of probably they're better players on the offensive side.
Speaker 3: And instead starting a quarterback for one New York Giants organization,
Speaker 3: John Machoda, Tommy DeVito.
Speaker 2: That's who's starting for the Giants.
Speaker 5: From Danny Dimes to Danny DeVito.
Speaker 7: I don't bet on sports, but I'm always aware of
Speaker 7: the lines. I always check on just for games, just
Speaker 7: to see what you know, Vegas is thinking. And I'm
Speaker 7: sitting there right in my game story in Philadelphia and
Speaker 7: I'm like, oh, just check, can see what it is? Sixteen.
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, jeez, what's it really?
Speaker 4: Yeh, that's a huge line an NFL.
Speaker 7: Massive for an NFL game when an in division game,
Speaker 7: I'm not that I wouldn't be that concerned about the
Speaker 7: Giants with Daniel Jones, So I guess you can, you know,
Speaker 7: maybe you know, get caught sleeping and maybe they get
Speaker 7: off to a hot start. I just I don't see
Speaker 7: anyway the Cowboys have a problem the Giants.
Speaker 3: Isn't it crazy how things change so quickly over an
Speaker 3: NFL season? I mean Week one, going into Week one,
Speaker 3: we were talking about this Giants team as an up
Speaker 3: and coming program, up and coming organization. They went to
Speaker 3: the playoffs, won a game last year, got to the
Speaker 3: divisional round just like Dallas did, and then forty to
Speaker 3: nothing in Week one and then it was significantly downhill
Speaker 3: from that point forward. I mean, it's a credit to
Speaker 3: the NFL and how things change. But man, this is
Speaker 3: a steve drop off, Isaiah from what we were talking
Speaker 3: about whenever this first matchup was on the schedule.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it sucks.
Speaker 6: I mean they've had they've had some injuries. They also
Speaker 6: are not confident in what their starter was. Uh and
Speaker 6: Danny Dimes obviously he's injured now, so prayers up for
Speaker 6: him for his recovery. But you know, they're it's hard
Speaker 6: to it's hard to win in this league without a quarterback.
Speaker 6: It's just the facts, and that's where they're at. That's
Speaker 6: not their only issue that they have on this roster.
Speaker 2: But they have.
Speaker 6: They have, you know, a quarterback who I don't think
Speaker 6: anybody's really confident in. They have a running back who
Speaker 6: doesn't necessarily really want to be there and probably won't
Speaker 6: be there unless they you know, tag him again. You know,
Speaker 6: so you got, you know, your two main guys you
Speaker 6: traded away you're you know, arguably your best defensive linement.
Speaker 6: You have arguably one of the best offensive minds in
Speaker 6: football as your head coach, but he doesn't have anything
Speaker 6: to work with, doesn't have an old line to work with.
Speaker 6: I mean, they're just in they're in shambles. I mean,
Speaker 6: you could try all you want to, but there's certain
Speaker 6: things that you have to have in place to be successful.
Speaker 6: And I when the reality is you have players that
Speaker 6: are super competitive, some of the most competitive people on earth.
Speaker 6: But if you don't feel like you have a chance
Speaker 6: to win, it's hard to give one hundred.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I would say the biggest thing about games like this,
Speaker 7: you see a lot of college football where they're just
Speaker 7: it's an uneven matchup. Your your biggest hope if you're
Speaker 7: the Cowboys is that you take care of business in
Speaker 7: the first half and the second half you can give
Speaker 7: a ton of guys rest that it's not even a
Speaker 7: close game late and that you can, you know, get
Speaker 7: guys out of the game, get guys some extra rest,
Speaker 7: because yeah, I just I look at that roster right
Speaker 7: now and looking at how they got destroyed by the Raiders,
Speaker 7: and really, honestly, it goes back for me personally, everything
Speaker 7: that you said about the way they ended last season
Speaker 7: winning that playoff game in Minnesota. I was like, damn,
Speaker 7: like they're building off something. They're gonna be one to
Speaker 7: watch when the season starts. And it was like very
Speaker 7: early on, I don't know if it's just because it's
Speaker 7: New York or whatever, but just the cameras catching Brian
Speaker 7: Dable on the sideline just like losing it where you're
Speaker 7: just kind of like and then him with Daniel Jones
Speaker 7: and stuff, and I was like, man, this is coming
Speaker 7: unraveled like this this fast, Like we're not even a
Speaker 7: quarter of the way into the season, and it just
Speaker 7: seems like it just keeps building on that and building
Speaker 7: on that. Yeah, they're they're in a rough spot that.
Speaker 7: I mean, I'm surprised with how bad that they are
Speaker 7: this year.
Speaker 2: I am too. I thought they'd be much better.
Speaker 3: But when you look at the IR for them, and
Speaker 3: I mentioned the injuries of.
Speaker 2: What they've got, that was my point, Oh go for.
Speaker 4: It, now, you go for it.
Speaker 5: They have thirteen players on the IR. It's thirteen and
Speaker 5: that doesn't include Danny Dimes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, who is head in that direction?
Speaker 5: He still has to go on so wow, Yeah, and.
Speaker 3: Some of those names, I mean as He's Ojilari starter,
Speaker 3: Shane Lemieux starter, Matt Pearl starter, Raan Caneau was their kicker,
Speaker 3: Tyrod Taylor was their backup quarterback, Darren Waller starter. They've
Speaker 3: they've been decimated with injuries, but even with that, they
Speaker 3: were playing poorly before the injuries.
Speaker 4: I mean, Week one.
Speaker 3: Was the Dallas Cowboy's forty to nothing. We all remember
Speaker 3: that and one of the most historic beatdowns. But there
Speaker 3: was part of that beatdown that was, Okay, it's Week one.
Speaker 3: Everybody's a little rusty A lot of the time. Week
Speaker 3: one is where you see blowouts like that, you see
Speaker 3: beatdowns like that. But then it was from that point
Speaker 3: forward a straight drop off. So I turned the question
Speaker 3: to take a look at the Dallas defense. Nick, When
Speaker 3: you look at the Dallas defense, what's the number one
Speaker 3: emphasis this week going into this matchup?
Speaker 5: Run defense? For sure, just because that's where their strength
Speaker 5: is going to rely upon, probably the only strength that
Speaker 5: they have on that offensive side of the ball. They're
Speaker 5: gonna feed Saque. They're gonna feed them a lot. I
Speaker 5: think a couple of weeks ago, whenever they didn't have
Speaker 5: Daniel Jones in a game he had carried the ball
Speaker 5: like thirty four times. So, I mean that's what I
Speaker 5: would expect. And it's a really good opportunity for this
Speaker 5: defensive front to really get comfortable in the run game.
Speaker 5: And you know, they've shown this season that they can
Speaker 5: be comfortable in the run game. They're the only team
Speaker 5: in the NFL that has not allowed a one hundred
Speaker 5: yard rusher or a one hundred yard receiver. Soportunity to
Speaker 5: keep that going.
Speaker 7: I'm looking forward to seeing Mazzi Smith, Sam Williams maybe
Speaker 7: getting some extra work. Things like that, some guys that
Speaker 7: you'd like to see a little bit more from that.
Speaker 7: Maybe you're not going to see that against the Eagles
Speaker 7: in a tight game like that. That's when I look at
Speaker 7: the Cowboys defense, I'm looking those are probably at the
Speaker 7: top of the list, and the next thing is getting
Speaker 7: through the game healthy.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I'm on part with y'all. I mean, I think this
Speaker 6: is you got to go out there and dominate. If
Speaker 6: you can't dominate, then there's some gut checking that has
Speaker 6: to happen. You should be able to molly wop, steamroll
Speaker 6: put whatever little term you want to to these guys,
Speaker 6: he's got to scored one hundred and one points through
Speaker 6: nine games. They are averaging eleven points per game. If
Speaker 6: you allow them to score ten points, you know you're
Speaker 6: probably not doing your job.
Speaker 2: So I mean, this is you have.
Speaker 6: You have to be dominant, and you should be pissed
Speaker 6: off from what happened last week. So you take that,
Speaker 6: take that anger, You take the fact that you're playing
Speaker 6: against you know, one of the few times I'll say
Speaker 6: a lesser opponent because of what the situation they're in
Speaker 6: with their ir situation. But these guys are not in
Speaker 6: a good position, so you have to take full advantage
Speaker 6: of it. You can't feel sorry for him. You gotta
Speaker 6: put the pedal to the metal, put your foot down
Speaker 6: and just run him into the ground. And you know,
Speaker 6: you beat them forty nothing when they had all their dudes.
Speaker 6: What what's the how you up that?
Speaker 2: Annie?
Speaker 6: You know that that needs to be your goal offensively, defensively,
Speaker 6: the special teams.
Speaker 5: Wise, quick question. It's kind of a sidebar here with
Speaker 5: the way the season is going for the Giants. Is
Speaker 5: something that kind of crept in my mind a couple
Speaker 5: of days ago whenever they said that Daniel Jones has
Speaker 5: done for the year, like there's there's no coming back
Speaker 5: for him. As people that cover the Cowboys, do you
Speaker 5: kind of look up and be concerned that they could
Speaker 5: have the number one pick and that in the NFC
Speaker 5: East for the next fifteen.
Speaker 2: Oh, he's he's going to be the number one pick.
Speaker 7: I'd be much more concerned about the Giants getting Caleb
Speaker 7: Williams than Drake May.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's just.
Speaker 7: How I feel about right. I understand this is already
Speaker 7: in that we're in the hot button season of one.
Speaker 7: I already, you know, I think May is the guy. Okay,
Speaker 7: let's see.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we'll definitely that's your guy.
Speaker 7: I'll take mine. We'll see what happened. We'll definitely see
Speaker 7: I with Caleb Williams. You know what I see happening,
Speaker 7: A little bit of what's going about in Houston.
Speaker 4: A little CJ.
Speaker 2: Stroud. Let's just see.
Speaker 7: Let's just see. Yeah, let's see what Drake mag does.
Speaker 3: Arizona currently holds the number one pick. Then it's Chicago
Speaker 3: via Carolina. So both of those are the one lost
Speaker 3: team or one win teams Arizona and Carolina, but Carolina
Speaker 3: gave their pick to to Chicago.
Speaker 5: What trade was that. Do you know, I can go
Speaker 5: back and I'll find it. Go ahead, keep going.
Speaker 3: But the so Chicago actually owns the second and third
Speaker 3: overall picks because Chicago's bad enough to where they're two
Speaker 3: and seven and they'll they'll be there at the third
Speaker 3: overall pick.
Speaker 2: And then it's the giant. Chicago had the number one
Speaker 2: pick last year and they moved up and.
Speaker 5: They traded for this year.
Speaker 2: That's what it was.
Speaker 3: So that's that was Carolina going to get Bryce, That's.
Speaker 2: What that was.
Speaker 4: So yeah, what an interesting deal that is.
Speaker 2: I think Bryce Young is going to be just fine.
Speaker 3: That Carolina team's bad, and we'll talk about them in
Speaker 3: a couple of weeks as well.
Speaker 4: I mean, that's what this part of this is for
Speaker 4: the Cowboys part.
Speaker 3: It's this part and then you got the back half
Speaker 3: and then you've got the final six weeks and it's
Speaker 3: a much different conversation. Is there such thing as just
Speaker 3: a confidence building week? Because it's not just Mozzie Smith.
Speaker 3: I liked what you said with Mazzie Smith, but it's
Speaker 3: guys like Jordan Lewis who have been around this before,
Speaker 3: who have been and we talked about it yesterday. Maybe
Speaker 3: not playing their best football.
Speaker 7: Oh, I don't even care about Jordan Lewis. I want
Speaker 7: to see some Noah Igbin Naginy you want to I
Speaker 7: want to see Nashan Wright like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 7: I'm not worried about Jordan Lewis in this situation. I'm
Speaker 7: trying to find out what I got at number four corner.
Speaker 3: You can build some confidence with a game like this
Speaker 3: based off of what he's had to deal with the
Speaker 3: last three weeks.
Speaker 2: There's Jaylen Hyatt too.
Speaker 3: Don't get don't don't don't look overlook Jalen Hyatt.
Speaker 7: I know that's playing the game. I'm just analyzing it
Speaker 7: and I'm gonna tell you right now, I'm looking past
Speaker 7: the Giants. Sorry, but I am. That's what I'm doing.
Speaker 5: This is the biggest spread all season in the NFL.
Speaker 5: I did like some quick search there. Sixteen and a
Speaker 5: half is the biggest spread I It's also an opportunity
Speaker 5: for guys like Douce Swan who haven't really found like
Speaker 5: their stride.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I'll be very.
Speaker 5: Curious to see who they put on the an active
Speaker 5: list on Sunday and if it differs from the rest
Speaker 5: of the season. Just because there's gonna be some opportunities
Speaker 5: late in the game for guys like Hunter Lipkey and
Speaker 5: Douce Vaughn and Jalen Brooks if he's active, So who knows,
Speaker 5: maybe they find something here. Maybe maybe Martavis Bryant, who knows.
Speaker 2: You see in Hunter lip Key, I.
Speaker 5: Didn't sneak it in. I let off with him.
Speaker 2: Actually, this is.
Speaker 4: Gonna be a great opportunity for Hunter lip Key.
Speaker 2: All right, let's take our second break. No, you ask
Speaker 2: a question first and say who would you rest?
Speaker 5: Who would you Yeah, that's that's interesting. I think you.
Speaker 7: Gets rushers like a Parson Marcus Lawrence.
Speaker 2: I think you look at them.
Speaker 5: I think you could look at some depth pass rushers.
Speaker 5: They're not gonna do this. This is just me, Dante Fowler,
Speaker 5: Dorn's armstrong, you know, get more run for Sam Williams.
Speaker 3: I think Sam Williams has earned the more run he's been. Yeah,
Speaker 3: disruptive when absolutely, in limited snaps.
Speaker 5: Absolutely, Yeah. But they're not gonna do that, I don't think.
Speaker 3: And that's that's just take care business early. Yeah, and
Speaker 3: then we'll talk take your business early, and then then.
Speaker 4: They'll have an opportunity to do that really quick.
Speaker 5: You talked about this being a confidence builder game. This
Speaker 5: is a confidence builder month because you got the Giants,
Speaker 5: You're going to Carolina and then you're home on Thanksgiving.
Speaker 5: For the Commanders should be three to zh going into
Speaker 5: that Thursday night game against Seattle where you welcome welcome
Speaker 5: them in here, build the confidence throughout three weeks and
Speaker 5: then go beat Seattle and then the Eagles come home
Speaker 5: and you're nine to three.
Speaker 7: And why you're going through that stretch. The Eagles are
Speaker 7: going through their top at stretch. Oh yeah, you gotta
Speaker 7: capitalize a really.
Speaker 5: Good opportunity here in the month of November.
Speaker 2: But let's do it November. No loss November. That's what
Speaker 2: we're gonna do. Hashtag no loss November. Gotta make it happen, right,
Speaker 2: all right? Go to break, Yeah, we're going to break.

Speaker 2: Talking Cowboys Back You're on Talking Cowboys.
Speaker 3: This segment is brought to you by invisil Line, the
Speaker 3: official Smile of the Dallas Cowboys with Isaiah stampack.
Speaker 4: That's an interesting flex.
Speaker 2: Nick Harris, Chris Beam, John Manchoda.
Speaker 5: John forward facing.
Speaker 4: It's time to take a look around the NFL. What's
Speaker 4: going on?
Speaker 7: Do it the first one? We don't have to spend
Speaker 7: a lot of time on it. I wanted to bring
Speaker 7: it up because it's this funny quote. So the Steelers,
Speaker 7: much like the Cowboys. You know, there's some talk coming
Speaker 7: out of this previous game, but oh, you know, you
Speaker 7: need get Cooks the ball more, and you know, you
Speaker 7: go back to that Niners game. CD wanted the ball more,
Speaker 7: and so the Steelers they went on Thursday night, Deantey
Speaker 7: Johnson has the you know, game winning touchdown. George Pickens
Speaker 7: is not happy. I guess he's not celebrating with his guys.
Speaker 7: Goes this sideline he's upset that he hasn't be getting touches,
Speaker 7: which then goes into him I guess on following the
Speaker 7: Steelers some other things on social media, which obviously Mike
Speaker 7: Tamlin was asked about it. It cracks me up that
Speaker 7: Mike Tomlin would have to answer questions yeah, yeah, yeah, so.
Speaker 7: But but the part that I wanted to bring up
Speaker 7: is that when Mike Tomlin was asked about it, he
Speaker 7: said he compared it to that this isn't that big
Speaker 7: of a deal for him, that this is like breathing.
Speaker 7: It's easy. I know it's a cute story for you guys,
Speaker 7: but it is a pebble in my shoe to be
Speaker 7: quite quite honest with you, in terms of things that
Speaker 7: I have to do an effort to get this group
Speaker 7: prey to play. It's a pebble in his shoe. See
Speaker 7: to me, a pebble in my shoe is really annoying.
Speaker 7: That's irritating, Like that's something that just it's gonna bother you.
Speaker 7: It doesn't matter. You can be completely healthy, everything is
Speaker 7: going great, but it just is there and it's nagging.
Speaker 7: It's nag. Isn't a pebble in your shoe a bigger
Speaker 7: thing than just trying to blow it off like, oh,
Speaker 7: this isn't a big deal, We'll take care of it.
Speaker 4: So he's trying to say that it's not amazing thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then he and it's not irritating.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that he's got bigger things to worry about than
Speaker 7: getting George Pickens involved.
Speaker 5: Yeah, So he's saying, George Pickens is the pebble in
Speaker 5: his shoe.
Speaker 7: Yeah, apparently, or this storyline, I guess because they've been
Speaker 7: asked about it, because this isn't like just one game,
Speaker 7: you know. I mean he's he is a top I
Speaker 7: don't know, George Pickens probably what top fifteen receiver.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's been great, Yeah, and his.
Speaker 7: Average per game is probably closer to you know, receiving
Speaker 7: yards a Probably he's around twenty fifth. So he obviously
Speaker 7: wants more touches. He wants, you know, to be a
Speaker 7: bigger part of this. But Mike Tomlin, I think it
Speaker 7: was trying to make it clear that I got bigger
Speaker 7: things to worry about than that right now.
Speaker 3: Well, to Tomlin's credit, I mean, if you had to
Speaker 3: look at it in a relative term, the pebble in
Speaker 3: your shoe by itself might be irritating. You might be
Speaker 3: just walking down the hallway and your cushy job, and
Speaker 3: that's when you have the pebble in your shoe and
Speaker 3: instead of maybe stepping on a porcupine, stepping on a
Speaker 3: porcupine and stabbing your shoe or stabbing your foot would
Speaker 3: not be very fun, right.
Speaker 4: You stepped on yeh, maybe a George Foreman grill.
Speaker 3: I mean there's a couple of things there that could
Speaker 3: that could hurt your foot a little bit more so,
Speaker 3: so maybe the pebble is insignificant, even though it might
Speaker 3: be irritating, it's insignificant compared to what could be happening.
Speaker 2: To your foot.
Speaker 7: The reason I brought up too is that I'm just
Speaker 7: trying to I'm just one of Mike Towmlin's other quotes
Speaker 7: about it just sounded very much like the way the
Speaker 7: Cowboys coaches and players talked after CD. You know, was
Speaker 7: frustrated in saying things like, hey, he expresses frustration to
Speaker 7: me all the time. He wants to be significant. He
Speaker 7: wants to be a reason why we're successful. You know,
Speaker 7: y'all don't begrudge that. I want our guys to want
Speaker 7: the football. So there are some similarities there that when
Speaker 7: I heard it, I was just like, that would have
Speaker 7: been funny. If Mike McCarthy's that, I would have been
Speaker 7: a pebble in a shoe. But anyway, So the other
Speaker 7: one that I think this is the biggest NFL storyline
Speaker 7: from this week, and that's Josh Dobbs, like not even
Speaker 7: getting to practice take first team reps, gets traded the
Speaker 7: Vikings he's there for you know, five days, he's going
Speaker 7: in as the backup starter. Boom gets concussion, he's out.
Speaker 7: Josh Dobbs comes in, throws two touchdowns, runs for another.
Speaker 9: Uh.
Speaker 7: There's a great video of you know, the team owner
Speaker 7: introducing himself to Josh after the game's over in the
Speaker 7: locker room. Bring that one up, just because obviously he
Speaker 7: had a ton of success against the Cowboys when people
Speaker 7: like myself did not think that he would. So thought
Speaker 7: thoughts on Josh Dobbs stepping in, especially Isaiah, you know, you,
Speaker 7: being a guy that's been in those NFL locker rooms,
Speaker 7: in those practice situations, how difficult that must have been
Speaker 7: for a quarterback not to have any reps with your
Speaker 7: first team. Not I mean, like even said, knowing all
Speaker 7: the guys names and Boom, you're thrown into it, go
Speaker 7: win us a game.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, you guys know, I've been a Josh
Speaker 6: Dobbs fan. He's he is a good player to me.
Speaker 6: He could run, he's athletic, he has a cannon. He's
Speaker 6: smart as all get out. He's been in a lot
Speaker 6: of systems. Even though he's hopped around, he's been able
Speaker 6: to adapt and learn these systems relatively quickly, and you know,
Speaker 6: it was really cool to hear how the coach was
Speaker 6: like calling the plays out. He would he would disperse
Speaker 6: to play out to the team and then on the
Speaker 6: way right before the was it fifteen second cutoff, the
Speaker 6: coach would be telling him like what it is, like, Hey,
Speaker 6: this is where the the routes are.
Speaker 2: This is what they are.
Speaker 6: And to be successful at that this this level of
Speaker 6: competition with that lack of information, it's it's crazy.
Speaker 2: It's crazy.
Speaker 6: But I'm super excited for him in the situation that
Speaker 6: he's in because I think I think he might be
Speaker 6: their next guy. Obviously though search for somebody in the draft,
Speaker 6: but I think he has an opportunity to make a
Speaker 6: case for himself the second half of the season.
Speaker 7: So I think it would be kind of annoying to
Speaker 7: have that going on in a game, you know, the
Speaker 7: contentt talk and everything like that. So I just have
Speaker 7: to bring this up because there is it's pretty well known,
Speaker 7: like he's like an aerospace engineer and all that. How
Speaker 7: much do you think that that helps, you know, obviously being.
Speaker 2: Smart, Yeah, it helps a little bit for sure. I
Speaker 2: think it's dope.
Speaker 6: I mean, you see the highlight, I mean not the highlights,
Speaker 6: but the film with him on the sideline in all
Speaker 6: the office alignment are around him. He's taking snaps from
Speaker 6: the center for the first time because he didn't get
Speaker 6: any snaps from the center at practice. He's taking snaps
Speaker 6: from the center and they're trying to hear his cadence
Speaker 6: because he had never given a cadence to any of
Speaker 6: those guys. I thought that was just amazing how he
Speaker 6: was just able to blow and gold with all the
Speaker 6: stuff that's going on, all the communication that's going on
Speaker 6: in the game. The defensive line makes calls, the linebackers
Speaker 6: yelling at you, the shifts that are going on, and
Speaker 6: these guys are literally so they're able to block it out.
Speaker 2: It's almost like like my wife, and my wife's talking
Speaker 2: to me.
Speaker 4: She's like, you hear what I said.
Speaker 6: I'm like, you say my name, Like if you just
Speaker 6: say my name, like, it's literally just noise to me,
Speaker 6: you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: I think because of the NFL, because of the football,
Speaker 2: you get so you get so used to just blocking
Speaker 2: out the noise.
Speaker 6: You know, you got seventy hundred thousand people yelling and
Speaker 6: you have to be able to block all that out
Speaker 6: and literally just focus in on what is being said
Speaker 6: to you directly, either in your ear or what you're
Speaker 6: hearing from somebody in the huddle. And I think that's
Speaker 6: like a superpower to me and for the office aligneman
Speaker 6: to be able to do that and be able to
Speaker 6: still communicate nonverbally and execute their assignments. And dude, that
Speaker 6: was that was amazing by all parties, everybody involved.
Speaker 3: They play it in noon. The Cowboys played at three
Speaker 3: twenty five. So as we're getting ready for our pregame
Speaker 3: show that starts to too, we're usually watching Red Zone
Speaker 3: and we're kind of getting everything said in the studio
Speaker 3: and we're kind of very unformally watching the games. I mean,
Speaker 3: that's just kind of how is there. It's off to
Speaker 3: the side, peripheral vision. And Isaiah, in the middle of
Speaker 3: our preparation goes, who wha, wha, whoa, whoa.
Speaker 2: Everybody stops down.
Speaker 3: He's like, Josh Dobbs is about to go in the
Speaker 3: in the game here Dobbs is about to go in.
Speaker 4: And you're watching it the cadence on the.
Speaker 3: Sideline and that snaps with the center and things like that,
Speaker 3: And I looked at Isaiah, and Isaiah's like, he's about
Speaker 3: the ball, and I was like, well, what makes you
Speaker 3: think that he's a backup quarterback.
Speaker 4: He's been there for forty.
Speaker 7: Eight hours, doesn't have Justin Jefferson.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the best receiver in football is out. I mean,
Speaker 3: there are certain things there that should not work out.
Speaker 3: I was like, why do you think he's gonna ball?
Speaker 3: He's like, just because he's smart, He's.
Speaker 4: Gonna get it done. He's going to figure out a
Speaker 4: way to get done.
Speaker 3: So credit to Isaiah, he was on top of it
Speaker 3: before the three touchdowns in the wind for Minnesota. I
Speaker 3: really liked the postgame reaction too.
Speaker 2: That's one way to win over a locker room, absolutely
Speaker 2: is everybody come in side.
Speaker 3: Put him on, put him on their shoulders, literally in
Speaker 3: the locker room that was not tall enough for that.
Speaker 4: But the really cool.
Speaker 2: Moment for Minnesota.
Speaker 4: Glad it didn't happen.
Speaker 2: It's Dallas, but I mean it was.
Speaker 4: But uh, the second one, we're not going to talk
Speaker 4: about it.
Speaker 2: We're not going to talk about that one.
Speaker 5: Minnesota still has a really good chance of making the
Speaker 5: right there and they're gonna get Justin Jefferson back, and Yeah,
Speaker 5: that's a that's a team to watch. But talking about
Speaker 5: Joshop specifically, you're talking about him being like an aerospace engineer,
Speaker 5: just smart as all get out. There's a YouTube video
Speaker 5: back from his days at the University of Tennessee where
Speaker 5: he rattles off like one hundred numbers of pie like
Speaker 5: on it was like a pie day like social media
Speaker 5: thing that the University of Tennessee, for.
Speaker 2: All account, wanted to do.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he just does it for like ten minutes, and
Speaker 5: then he's like, are y'all done? Like y'all want me
Speaker 5: to keep going? Like it was like, what are those things?
Speaker 5: I like, No, I think we got it, like you
Speaker 5: figured it out. No, he's he's super smart. I actually
Speaker 5: got an opportunity to meet to meet him when I
Speaker 5: was working with a woman named Ashmon Washington at a
Speaker 5: previous job who's now a scout with the Chicago Bears,
Speaker 5: one of the only field scouts in the NFL, but
Speaker 5: her cousin is Joshua Dobs and she had a other
Speaker 5: that ended up going to Penn State. He now plays
Speaker 5: with the Jaguars, But they were all at a game
Speaker 5: one day and josh is just one of the coolest dudes.
Speaker 5: You'll ever meet down to Earth and yeah, super smart.
Speaker 5: I'm rooting for him all the way. He's he's a gamer.
Speaker 5: He's one thousand percent like the definition of just a gamer.
Speaker 5: And that was the first thing I said. Whenever I
Speaker 5: saw that he had led that comeback win and they
Speaker 5: were doing the cadence there on the sideline, I was like, yeah,
Speaker 5: he's a gamer.
Speaker 6: Some guys, some guys in situations like that, are like,
Speaker 6: oh crap, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: Other guys are like, hell, yeah, let's go. You know.
Speaker 2: I mean, I think he's one of those let's go
Speaker 2: type of guys. You know. He was like, oh, this
Speaker 2: is this is awesome. Yeah, yeah, they got the cards
Speaker 2: are stacked against me. Let's do it. Yeah, I see
Speaker 2: what you did there. Cards.
Speaker 7: Last one I had was just about an old familiar
Speaker 7: face for the Dallas Cowboys, Carson Wentz signing with the Rams.
Speaker 7: As people might remember, Matthew Stafford suffered thumb injury against
Speaker 7: the Cowboys a couple of weeks ago. They're bringing in
Speaker 7: Carson Wentz his insurance. He started seven games last year
Speaker 7: for the Commanders. They went two and five in the starts.
Speaker 7: I bring this up because there was a time back
Speaker 7: in twenty sixteen where I felt like, if the Cowboys
Speaker 7: had a higher pick that Carson Wentz could have been
Speaker 7: the quarterback here. And it's just interesting to see how
Speaker 7: things have gone since then, because obviously it was a
Speaker 7: lot of talk in that draft going in it would
Speaker 7: be Wentz would be Gough. And to see how both
Speaker 7: of them, you know, aren't even with the teams they
Speaker 7: are with. Wentz has been with several teams. Now this
Speaker 7: will be I believe it was fourth and now Goff
Speaker 7: obviously is in Detroit. And then you have Dak Prescott,
Speaker 7: who fourth round pick in that draft class and continues
Speaker 7: to be Cowboys franchise quarterback. Thoughts on Wentz, what do
Speaker 7: you guys think he's got left in the tank there at?
Speaker 7: I think he's thirty one years old?
Speaker 5: Now, God see already. Wow, that's crazy. He's already that old.
Speaker 5: For me, I'm not expecting a whole lot there. The
Speaker 5: first thing that popped in my mind whenever he got
Speaker 5: signed is what happened to Stetson't been it? Did he?
Speaker 5: And I'm trying to feel did he get cut like
Speaker 5: from they spent a fourth round pick on him?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 5: And gosh, that's just that's a big fumble there, especially
Speaker 5: when you look at the Matthew the health of Matthew
Speaker 5: Staff for the last couple of years, and how I
Speaker 5: guess there wasn't a lot of confidence in Brett Rupian.
Speaker 5: But yeah, they have to go on the street and
Speaker 5: pick up Carson Wentz.
Speaker 3: Well it wasn't just Stetson Bennett, right, didn't or no,
Speaker 3: Duggan was with the Chargers different La squad.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean the.
Speaker 3: Fact that you had you had a couple guys that
Speaker 3: you maybe invested late round draft picks, but we're talking
Speaker 3: about two guys even in this show, Dak Prescott Josh
Speaker 3: wood Obs. They are both fourth round quarterbacks. Spending a
Speaker 3: fourth round pick on a quarterback should at least net
Speaker 3: you a possibility of being the backup.
Speaker 4: So the fact that that didn't work out this past.
Speaker 3: Year for the Rams shows that, man, they probably just
Speaker 3: had to cut their ties and move on and bring
Speaker 3: in Carson Wentz. I'm of the belief that he still
Speaker 3: has something left in the tank.
Speaker 4: I still think he can win football games.
Speaker 3: Now, is he going to expect to come in and
Speaker 3: play at the same level as a starter would?
Speaker 9: No?
Speaker 3: But as a backup quarterback, I think he's very much
Speaker 3: so talented enough to be a solid backup in the NFL.
Speaker 2: Nothing's a Bible back.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it'd just be interesting if his career, if there
Speaker 7: isn't any type of resurgeon. It just this is how
Speaker 7: it ends, kind of just being a backup. Just looking
Speaker 7: at what the Eagles have been able to do. Uh,
Speaker 7: he certainly had some successful seasons there. Uh, and then
Speaker 7: they go on and when it's your bold Nick Foles
Speaker 7: and then obviously take Jalen Hurts in the second round
Speaker 7: and we see the success he's having.
Speaker 9: Uh.
Speaker 7: Just an organization that's shown that it's not like you
Speaker 7: have to use that you trade everything to get that
Speaker 7: number one overall pick. I guess they did. I mean
Speaker 7: they did spend a high pick on Carson Wentz. But yeah,
Speaker 7: that that has been interesting. Obviously the Cowboys haven't spent
Speaker 7: a high pick on a quarterback either.
Speaker 2: So yeah.
Speaker 7: Also, the other thing I was going to say though,
Speaker 7: going back to the the first the first story, sorry
Speaker 7: about George Pickens tying it in with the Cowboys. Very
Speaker 7: interested to see this week how many targets George Pickens gets.
Speaker 7: Much like I'm very interested to see how many targets
Speaker 7: Brandon Cooks gets.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, do you think there that he'll speak up this
Speaker 3: week during player availability?
Speaker 2: You think there's any possibility there yet?
Speaker 7: I don't think so. He's He's been earlier in the
Speaker 7: season about some of that stuff. Let's because here's the thing,
Speaker 7: it's not just about that one game. It's it's for
Speaker 7: me at least, you know, it's about the whole season.
Speaker 7: I mean, were almost halfway through the season, and obviously
Speaker 7: the return on investment hasn't been there on the stat sheet.
Speaker 7: And he's been asked about this before and he's been
Speaker 7: very you know, team first, So I don't expect that.
Speaker 7: But I'm just saying I can see the actions speaking
Speaker 7: louder the words, and I can see him being targeted
Speaker 7: quite often against the Giants.
Speaker 2: Early over under one hundred yards?
Speaker 7: Oh under? Yeah, No, he's under.
Speaker 2: For sure. I'll go out on a limb and I'll
Speaker 2: say over. I'll say over, and why not? He's due.
Speaker 5: He hadn't had one hundred yard receiving games this season.
Speaker 7: What do you guys think is as long as receptions
Speaker 7: this year at this moment?
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's like what twenty I was gonna say.
Speaker 7: A little bit hard.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, what is twenty five yards?
Speaker 4: It's interesting.
Speaker 7: I'm just saying, you go back to training camp. We
Speaker 7: would never have guessed that. We would have thought at
Speaker 7: least through this, even if the numbers were similar to
Speaker 7: what they are right now, we would have thought at
Speaker 7: least I would have that there would have been at
Speaker 7: least like one forty fifty yard You.
Speaker 2: Know why No, because those plays were off of what
Speaker 2: play action? Did Isaiah just solve? The Cowboys offense.
Speaker 7: Solved it fixed? Were done here?
Speaker 4: All right?
Speaker 3: One more national storyline I wanted to add at the
Speaker 3: back end, and what made me think of it was
Speaker 3: John said, familiar faces with Carson Wentz. This is a
Speaker 3: little bit more familiar for the Cowboys c J.
Speaker 2: Stroud.
Speaker 3: Of course, this past week goes off thirty of forty
Speaker 3: two passing four hundred and seventy yards, five touchdowns. Talk
Speaker 3: about two guys that he threw the football quite often too.
Speaker 3: You talk about the Cowboys rejects Noah Brown six targets,
Speaker 3: six receptions, one hundred and fifty three yards, and a
Speaker 3: seventy five yard touchdown.
Speaker 2: It's a lot. What number receiver was he here? Like four,
Speaker 2: go ahead, continue.
Speaker 3: Dalton Schultz eleven targets, ten receptions, one hundred and thirty
Speaker 3: yards and a touchdown.
Speaker 4: Both of those guys fall out same game, same game.
Speaker 5: You see that graphic about the top four NFL receiver
Speaker 5: receivers this past week, it was one CD two Uh
Speaker 5: Noah Brown, three Amari Cooper, and four Dalton Schultz. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 5: that's pretty funn It's pretty interesting.
Speaker 2: I just wanted to throw that out there.
Speaker 4: Both of those guys who.
Speaker 5: Are significant, were they all on the same team?
Speaker 2: Yes, they were a whole point in time, which time does.
Speaker 7: Don't have any regrets about any of those agains do
Speaker 7: a certain exemp but like, yeah, Mari yeah, but like
Speaker 7: Adulton Schultz and no, like I like Noah Brown, but honestly, like,
Speaker 7: I don't know that that's that much of an improvement
Speaker 7: over Michael Gallup if that's your number four, Jalen Tolbert,
Speaker 7: whoever that the three four is ends up being out
Speaker 7: of that. And then the Dalton Schultz thing. Is Dalton
Speaker 7: Schultz a better player right now?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 7: But at the same time, like if you didn't want
Speaker 7: to pay him, and judging by where Jake Ferguson is
Speaker 7: going like you got to kind of go to the
Speaker 7: next one. I mean, I saw the Lions do that
Speaker 7: with they moved on from Hockinson put in Sam Laporta, Like, yeah,
Speaker 7: you got to do that sometimes because if you don't
Speaker 7: want to pay that guy, like.
Speaker 4: We knew when daltins, Like.
Speaker 7: How different do you think the record is if they
Speaker 7: have Noah Brown Adults Schultz on this team? I think
Speaker 7: it's the exact same record that they have right now.
Speaker 6: Okay, Acumen, there's a whole lot that goes into the record,
Speaker 6: But in terms of impact, you don't think that nor
Speaker 6: Brown would have had more impact on this team than
Speaker 6: than Michael Gallup pass this year.
Speaker 2: I think.
Speaker 5: It'd be cheaper.
Speaker 7: Yeah, well, of course it'd be. But if we're going
Speaker 7: to cheaper, then we're going to then we're going to
Speaker 7: a Cooper here, Michael.
Speaker 2: Take price out of it.
Speaker 6: Who would have had more impact on the team this year?
Speaker 6: Nor Brown or Michael Gallup?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 7: Probably no Brown, thank you very much. I just don't
Speaker 7: think it's such a significant thing that now it's like
Speaker 7: it's not We're looking at maybe a one loss.
Speaker 2: Team right now, believe me, and I just don't.
Speaker 7: Definitely don't think that about Schultz either.
Speaker 3: No, sorry, I don't see keep okay with I don't
Speaker 3: see Michael Gallup having one hundred and thirty yards and
Speaker 3: a seventy five yard touchdown grab in one game.
Speaker 2: I just don't see that happening.
Speaker 3: Noah Brown has already done that in the NFL this
Speaker 3: season against an NFL team and in an NFL game.
Speaker 3: Same thing with Dalton Schultz. We knew when Dalton Schultz
Speaker 3: left in that decision was made. He's a good player. Yeah,
Speaker 3: he was going to have success elsewhere. That wasn't a surprise.
Speaker 3: Like you said, you're moving on.
Speaker 7: To Jo wanted to take some like a very team
Speaker 7: friendly deal. That's one thing would still be here.
Speaker 2: Correct.
Speaker 6: I'm final with Schultz leaving Norah Brown. I would have
Speaker 6: loved to retain Noel Brown.
Speaker 2: You were adamant about that when it happened, I was.
Speaker 2: I knew that was gonna be a hit.
Speaker 7: Do you like Noel Brown more than Cedric Wilson?
Speaker 6: I do, Okay, I do. I think I like said
Speaker 6: a lot too, and he's doing very well down there
Speaker 6: in Miami. But I think what Nora Brown does special
Speaker 6: teams wise as well. That's what I've that's that's all
Speaker 6: that value right there is hard to replace man true,
Speaker 6: and we've seen the you know, obviously the downside of
Speaker 6: that with some guys being out on special teams this year.
Speaker 6: So I like what he does. I think he's a
Speaker 6: good receiver as well. I just think that him and
Speaker 6: Dak weren't necessarily always synked up, right, So, but obviously
Speaker 6: he's able to scenc up with other guys.
Speaker 2: Noan Brown keeps putting number one thirty in games. He's
Speaker 2: not going to be on special teams for very much.
Speaker 2: I don't think he's plenty much Doner anyway.
Speaker 3: All Right, that does it for us here on Talking Cowboys.
Speaker 3: Be sure to tune in tomorrow nine am Central.
Speaker 4: We'll have QB Vision.
Speaker 2: We'll have news and notes and plenty more.
