Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
Speaker 2: No Cowboys This he's Talking Cowboys, stringing live.
Speaker 1: From the Dallas Cowboys World Course at the Star in
Speaker 1: Frisco Street.
Speaker 3: That's got pison, paints adown and now your hosts Isaiah Standback,
Speaker 3: Nick Harris, Josh Rodriguez and Kyle Yeoman's.
Speaker 4: Belty snap Prescott with plenty of time, lops.
Speaker 5: It in zone.
Speaker 6: Jake Ferguson.
Speaker 4: Coupled bunch of.
Speaker 7: All Adams, but it doesn't matter. Sergy into the end
Speaker 7: zone and Dallas takes the lead of the four dallous howboy.
Speaker 4: It's a victory Friday on Talking Cowboys, presented by Black
Speaker 4: Rifle Coffee Company.
Speaker 7: We could say it with your.
Speaker 8: Chest because the Cowboys got the job done and they
Speaker 8: defeat the Seattle Seahawks forty one thirty five the final
Speaker 8: score from AT and T Stadium, and they improved to nine.
Speaker 4: And three on the twenty twenty three NFL campaign. That
Speaker 4: was the first time I've heard that callback. That's only
Speaker 4: the second highlight I've heard. First call I've heard back,
Speaker 4: and it was weird even hearing the call.
Speaker 7: Just the fact that it was a thing. It honestly
Speaker 7: feels like a dream.
Speaker 4: But for those that know me and know what was
Speaker 4: happening last night, I got the chance to fill in
Speaker 4: for Brad Sham and in the Cowboys radio booth when
Speaker 4: I smitson the hope in prayers for Brad for a
Speaker 4: quick and speedy recovery. He'll be back next week against Philadelphia,
Speaker 4: have no doubt in my mind. But it was a
Speaker 4: bit surreal getting to hear that touchdown call from Jake
Speaker 4: Ferguson because it was a hell of a game and
Speaker 4: I had a blasket in to call it for sure.
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, walk us through a Kyle, because I because
Speaker 9: I found out about an hour before kickoff, and from
Speaker 9: what I know, you didn't find out much much before.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So well, first Chris Beam in the pack, Josh Rodriguez,
Speaker 4: John Machoda, We've got Nick Harris. I'm Kyle Yeoman's Isaiah
Speaker 4: standback is en route to the PAC twelve championship game
Speaker 4: with his son.
Speaker 10: Right sco ducks Isaiah.
Speaker 4: Nah, go go dogs, get it done for Washington and
Speaker 4: you dub that'll be a fun one.
Speaker 7: But I'll take you through it.
Speaker 4: So we were at the stadium last night for Pregame Live,
Speaker 4: and we had kind of pubbed that throughout the week
Speaker 4: and talked about how.
Speaker 7: We were going to the stadium.
Speaker 4: We only go on site for a number of games
Speaker 4: a year and won over the last couple of years,
Speaker 4: we've gone a couple times this year. This was the
Speaker 4: second game that we've been at the stadium, two of
Speaker 4: three total. We're on the side line. We just got
Speaker 4: started with Pregame Live. Five point thirty was when we
Speaker 4: kick things off. About twenty minutes into the show. I'm
Speaker 4: looking to my right and I see Derek Eagleton and
Speaker 4: Nick Eatman start to work their way down and kind
Speaker 4: of trickle down, and they keep kind of looking over
Speaker 4: at me and smiling oddly enough and kind of giving
Speaker 4: me like a point every now and again, and they
Speaker 4: were talking to each other, but I picked up on it,
Speaker 4: and I remember looking at Nick and trying to communicate
Speaker 4: without communicating because I was off camera, but we were
Speaker 4: definitely on microphone, and I was trying to communicate off camera,
Speaker 4: and I couldn't understand what he was saying.
Speaker 7: I thought I was in trouble or that I said
Speaker 7: something wrong. That was the first thing.
Speaker 4: And they were going to come and be like, hey, guys,
Speaker 4: got to cool it down here or do something separate. Well,
Speaker 4: in the middle of a break, and we don't really
Speaker 4: take breaks, there are sound bites.
Speaker 7: So about forty five seconds sixty seconds, I get approached
Speaker 7: by Nick and Derek and they say, hey, you're up.
Speaker 7: I was like, what are you talking about?
Speaker 4: And he was like, you're calling the game that I
Speaker 4: Brad was unable to make it, fell sick on the
Speaker 4: way here and he had to turn around and leave
Speaker 4: the stadium.
Speaker 7: And I was like, okay, all right, let's gate we rolling.
Speaker 4: But I also had the rest of the pregame show
Speaker 4: too to worry about. So at that point that's when
Speaker 4: kind of the adrenaline started pumping a little bit. And
Speaker 4: of course I prepare for a game for pregame and
Speaker 4: postgame coverage far different than.
Speaker 7: What I do for an NFL game or a play
Speaker 7: by play game.
Speaker 4: Rather, I mean, this is a look of the preparation
Speaker 4: that I would do for an NFL game. So this
Speaker 4: is one sheet and it's eleven by seventeen, it's two sided,
Speaker 4: and it's got pretty much every player possible on here.
Speaker 7: That's not what I had to call the game last night.
Speaker 7: I had this.
Speaker 4: I had a flip card that they give everybody in
Speaker 4: the press box that has both rosters on It has
Speaker 4: the officials on it down at the bottom and some
Speaker 4: pronunciations there as well.
Speaker 7: Luckily for me, I've called the Seattle Seahawks.
Speaker 4: Before I got a chance to call them from a
Speaker 4: color analyst standpoint on the TV broadcast in the preseason.
Speaker 4: So getting up there, I just had to kind of
Speaker 4: get my bearing straight. I finally got up there about
Speaker 4: fifty minutes up until kickoff. Was when I settled into
Speaker 4: the booth and credit to Tim Collins over at one
Speaker 4: O five three the fan. First thing he said, he
Speaker 4: walked in, he said, what do we What do you
Speaker 4: need from us? I was like, honestly, I just need
Speaker 4: you to print the boards that I had. So this
Speaker 4: is a smaller version of what I normally had. And
Speaker 4: they printed it out on just eleven by what is
Speaker 4: this eleven by seventeen and this is not eleven by
Speaker 4: seventeen eight and a half by fourteen illegal size piece
Speaker 4: of paper?
Speaker 10: And is there an illegal size?
Speaker 7: No, there's legal. And then there's no tabloid I think
Speaker 7: is the big one.
Speaker 4: But they printed it off and got me a water.
Speaker 7: That was the other thing. I was like, I just
Speaker 7: really need a water right now too.
Speaker 4: Got a chance to sit down and talked it over
Speaker 4: with our spotter stats guy and Babe Laufenberg and got
Speaker 4: to call the game last night.
Speaker 7: It was a lot of fun, had a blast.
Speaker 4: Doing it, and it was a whirlwind of a moment
Speaker 4: because you don't normally get to make your NFL play
Speaker 4: by play debut on about what is that an hour's notice,
Speaker 4: hour twenty minutes notice. But got it done and had
Speaker 4: a blast doing it.
Speaker 11: So freaking proud of you to congratulations. That's amazing. And
Speaker 11: the calls that I heard were astounding, like good, really
Speaker 11: really killed.
Speaker 7: It, Thanks man. I had a blast once I kind
Speaker 7: of settled in.
Speaker 4: It took me about half a quarter a couple of
Speaker 4: drives to really be there and have my feet planted
Speaker 4: and come down from cloud nine a little bit and
Speaker 4: call the game.
Speaker 7: And Babe did a phenomenal job of just kind of.
Speaker 4: Allowing me to be myself and encouraging me in that
Speaker 4: regard and saying, all.
Speaker 7: Right, like now the nerves are done, just get back
Speaker 7: to what you do.
Speaker 4: And that was what I was able to do and
Speaker 4: it had a fun broadcast to go with, because that
Speaker 4: game was incredible.
Speaker 11: To me at any point where you're like, are we
Speaker 11: really about to lose my first game?
Speaker 4: Uh No, honestly, I were just had a hunch the
Speaker 4: whole time that I felt like they were going to
Speaker 4: get it done.
Speaker 7: I really did. And the one time that I think
Speaker 7: I would have thought it is if they.
Speaker 4: Would have converted on the fourth in inches and when
Speaker 4: Seattle elected to go for it just on the edge
Speaker 4: of Dallas territory and it was right there fourth in
Speaker 4: inches and they ran it.
Speaker 7: If they would have converted there, I might have been like, Okay,
Speaker 7: here we go.
Speaker 12: You talk. I mind that Sharboney run, that de Marcus
Speaker 12: Lawrence made that great.
Speaker 4: Stop, incredible stop, DLAG to the rescue, DLAGT save.
Speaker 7: Donna was there too.
Speaker 4: That's the thing about this game is it had a
Speaker 4: little bit of everything in it. So I'll start things
Speaker 4: off any news and notes Nick that we have to hit.
Speaker 9: No, not necessarily again, it was once again in a
Speaker 9: pretty clean game from an injuries perspective. Yeah, knock on wood.
Speaker 9: This is happening pretty frequently recently. In fact, I was
Speaker 9: I was talking about this yesterday with Patrick Walker before
Speaker 9: the game and talking about Peyton Hendershot and now he
Speaker 9: has to be activated in the next couple of days
Speaker 9: or he'll have to stay on the IR the rest
Speaker 9: of the season. And I couldn't remember if I asked
Speaker 9: Patrick or if he asked me. He's like, why open
Speaker 9: the twenty one day practice window if you didn't have
Speaker 9: like a spot that you would try to figure out
Speaker 9: for him? And I was like, Okay, maybe it's because
Speaker 9: they were expecting someone to get hurt, not necessarily like, ah,
Speaker 9: you know, let's make sure he gets I mean, it's
Speaker 9: just like, it's just what happens.
Speaker 10: It's football.
Speaker 9: In three weeks, like you most likely, especially with the
Speaker 9: way the season has gone for the Cowboys, you'd probably
Speaker 9: have a spot that would be able to open up.
Speaker 10: But it hasn't happened. So it's a good problem to
Speaker 10: have right now.
Speaker 9: These guys are really healthy going into Philadelphia here in
Speaker 9: ten days, and they will have ten days to be
Speaker 9: able to prepare three games and twelve days. They get
Speaker 9: out of it healthy, that's probably the biggest thing. And
Speaker 9: then they get out three and oh that's probably the
Speaker 9: second biggest thing.
Speaker 13: Yeah, I would say the only other thing non game related.
Speaker 13: Jerry did give an update on Shack Leonard after the game,
Speaker 13: at least he was asked about it. So what he
Speaker 13: said is that he doesn't know for sure where it's
Speaker 13: at right now. Shack Lender and his representative said they
Speaker 13: were going to get back with the Cowboys this weekend,
Speaker 13: and Jerry said it's probably, you know, after Philadelphia plays,
Speaker 13: he said, we had a great visit and that's pretty
Speaker 13: much the way we left it. But then he was
Speaker 13: asked to follow up about, you know, is Leonard's health
Speaker 13: possibly an issue with all of this, because there had
Speaker 13: been some talk of you know, he's coming off these
Speaker 13: back injuries and that, and he just said, that's a
Speaker 13: big question that certainly he goes. I don't want to
Speaker 13: sound like it's an issue, and it's not an issue
Speaker 13: for us to not sign him, so it's not enough
Speaker 13: of an issue that would.
Speaker 12: Prevent them from signing him.
Speaker 13: But obviously there's something there the fact that you know,
Speaker 13: he's coming off these back issues, and so we'll see
Speaker 13: where that goes.
Speaker 12: I don't know, I'm.
Speaker 13: Interested to just see how this whole thing unfolds, because.
Speaker 12: You could be getting a good player that can help
Speaker 12: you right away.
Speaker 13: You could be getting somebody that all of a sudden
Speaker 13: he gets in your building and he's out there on
Speaker 13: the field, and he doesn't look like the same guy
Speaker 13: that he was two three years ago when he was
Speaker 13: just making all pro you know, And so they're going
Speaker 13: to have to make that decision ultimately.
Speaker 12: And it goes back to what I said earlier.
Speaker 13: I'm not going to be making some hardcore judgment one
Speaker 13: way or the other of like, oh the.
Speaker 12: Eagles beat him to it, or the Cowboys be the Eagles.
Speaker 13: Like I'm gonna need to see player on the field
Speaker 13: before I'm making those judgments about it just because of
Speaker 13: a name. You know, you got to see how the
Speaker 13: guy plays. But obviously, if they're going hard to try
Speaker 13: and sign him, they obviously think highly of what he
Speaker 13: can contribute.
Speaker 9: And listening back to what Jerry said, I don't know,
Speaker 9: maybe I'm just reading between the lines a little bit
Speaker 9: too much, but it didn't fit sound like there was
Speaker 9: a ton of confidence. Yeah again, I'm not trying to
Speaker 9: put words in Jerry's mouse, but it didn't sound completely
Speaker 9: uh confident, like yeah, we're gonna get this guy.
Speaker 10: So I guess we'll find out on Sunday afternoon.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he kind of backtracked a little bit on the
Speaker 4: confidence level. Earlier in the week, he was saying, Yeah,
Speaker 4: we're gonna have dinner, We're gonna have him in the building.
Speaker 7: It's a great day, and this is gonna be awesome.
Speaker 7: And then all of a sudden, it's like, we'll see
Speaker 7: how this goes. We'll see what he's trying to play
Speaker 7: his cards, right.
Speaker 11: It sounds like, you know, yeah, keeping it a little
Speaker 11: close to the chest and not trying to reveal too much.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's true. And sometimes Jerry wants to reveal a
Speaker 7: lot and other times he doesn't. And maybe that's part
Speaker 7: of it.
Speaker 10: Almost like he's a businessman.
Speaker 14: It is.
Speaker 7: It is like business man. All right, let's talk about
Speaker 7: this game.
Speaker 4: Forty one thirty five, one of five games in NFL
Speaker 4: history to not include a punt from either team. Only
Speaker 4: five games and five games in NFL history.
Speaker 10: Wow. You know, Mike McCarthy's been a part of like
Speaker 10: a couple of those.
Speaker 13: I feel like he's had two or three that's three, yeah, three,
Speaker 13: two of them, that's wild. Two of them were in
Speaker 13: twenty fourteen with that Packers team that I believe went
Speaker 13: to the NFC Championship game.
Speaker 7: I believe so twenty. If it was twenty fourteen, then yes.
Speaker 12: Yeah, it was the DEAs catch game.
Speaker 7: More like Riverboat, Mike. Yeah, okay, okay, okay, okay. I
Speaker 7: like that part of more deserving of the title. This
Speaker 7: game had a little bit of everything.
Speaker 4: It had defensive playmakers, it had offensive playmakers pretty much.
Speaker 4: Both quarterbacks played really well for that matter, and I
Speaker 4: think both defenses probably left yesterday saying.
Speaker 7: There there are some holes there there to clean up.
Speaker 4: Of course, we had one hundred and twenty plus yards
Speaker 4: of penalties for both teams overall. I mean individually Dallas
Speaker 4: had one twenty two, Seattle had one.
Speaker 7: Thirty. It's it was.
Speaker 4: An incredible game. It was incredibly entertaining from beginning to end. Josh,
Speaker 4: what was your number one takeaway though?
Speaker 11: Okay, well, if you were to tell me, uh, Seattle's
Speaker 11: going to score thirty five points, metcalf is going to
Speaker 11: score three touchdowns, we're gonna have one sack to their four.
Speaker 11: In the last eight seasons during the Deck era, we
Speaker 11: lose that.
Speaker 7: Game every single time. Yeah.
Speaker 11: I think dek is, I mean, hands down, dek is
Speaker 11: our most valuable player. I don't know if that's a
Speaker 11: league wide situation. I'm not here for that conversation, but
Speaker 11: it is clear that he is the most valuable player
Speaker 11: to this team.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 9: Whenever you look at what Dak was able to do yesterday,
Speaker 9: and what we talked about this week going into it
Speaker 9: was that, you know, he's he struggled against heavy zone
Speaker 9: scheme concepts throughout his throughout his career, and we'ven't seen
Speaker 9: it in a couple of times this year whenever that's
Speaker 9: kind of reared around, specifically in Arizona, man, he dominated.
Speaker 10: From start to finish. It was.
Speaker 9: It was an incredible effort from him. He was using
Speaker 9: his mobility, he was fighting off guys. At that one
Speaker 9: play where he fought off half forget who it was,
Speaker 9: but it was off the right side.
Speaker 7: And he was tackled.
Speaker 9: I looked down at my computer, like I because I
Speaker 9: was like, okay, that play's done.
Speaker 4: And then I look and even hear it on my call,
Speaker 4: I was like, and Dak sacked in the bad No,
Speaker 4: he broke free like it was. It was just an
Speaker 4: I don't know if I've seen a plague go that
Speaker 4: deep into a sack before he breaks out of it
Speaker 4: and a quarterback is able to break free and then
Speaker 4: complete a pass down the sideline. Another great thing of
Speaker 4: that play was Jaylen Tolbert getting both feet in.
Speaker 7: Yeah, because that was that was he was.
Speaker 4: He had about a blade of grass there and he
Speaker 4: was able to slip in and get it in the sideline.
Speaker 7: So impressive play all the way across the board. But
Speaker 7: that was just one of many from Dak last night.
Speaker 9: Yeah, and shout out to Jaylen Tolbert as well. That
Speaker 9: was one of two impact plays that he had yesterday.
Speaker 9: I had a huge PI drawn on Tarik Woolan. I
Speaker 9: believe that was gosh. I don't even remember when that was,
Speaker 9: but I remember being a big, big play towards a
Speaker 9: scoring drive. I I worry a little bit about teams
Speaker 9: attacking to Ron Bland moving forward because of what happened
Speaker 9: last night. And you know, you look at what he
Speaker 9: did in coverage and it was not great. He had
Speaker 9: the interception to be able to make up for it
Speaker 9: and look at the stat box at the end of
Speaker 9: the day and be okay with that. But one of
Speaker 9: two things are about to happen over the course of
Speaker 9: the next five games. They're going to attack Deron Bland,
Speaker 9: and they're going to find some things that worked for
Speaker 9: the Seahawks last night and things that worked last week
Speaker 9: as well against Deron Bland, because it was some moments
Speaker 9: where he kind of faltered last week as well against
Speaker 9: the Commanders, and they're gonna be able.
Speaker 10: To continue attack those things.
Speaker 9: The opponents or Deron Bland is going to be able
Speaker 9: to fix these things correct it. They're still going to
Speaker 9: throw at him just as much and he's gonna end
Speaker 9: up with some gaudy interception numbers on the other side
Speaker 9: of this.
Speaker 10: I mean, it's gonna be interesting.
Speaker 4: Even on a night where it was not Deron Bland's night,
Speaker 4: and it was pretty obvious early on that it was
Speaker 4: not Deron blanz night.
Speaker 7: He still had an interception and almost ended up with
Speaker 7: two and had another one.
Speaker 11: Yeah, you're right, it's that whole bend. But don't break thing.
Speaker 11: He is unbroken. He's unfazed. He doesn't it doesn't seem
Speaker 11: like he dwells on that too much. Granted, you know,
Speaker 11: we let up a seventy five yard touchdown to Dkay,
Speaker 11: who's the fastest receiver in the league this year apparently,
Speaker 11: but it didn't FaZe him. Comes back next quarter and
Speaker 11: gets that pick. I mean, it's insane.
Speaker 10: I would make for the next time.
Speaker 9: I would make the argument that he did break last
Speaker 9: night and then he's able to find some superglue and
Speaker 9: just kind of put it back together a little bit,
Speaker 9: and you can still see them broken, but it's you know,
Speaker 9: it's together a little bit.
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 13: My biggest takeaway is actually about the Seahawks and the
Speaker 13: way Gino Smith played, because.
Speaker 12: It's easy to just look at.
Speaker 13: The one side of the ball and just look at
Speaker 13: like the team that you're covering and stuff like that.
Speaker 13: Geno Smith has not played like that all season. And
Speaker 13: there were moments in that game where he was getting
Speaker 13: the ball out so quick that you weren't really allowing the.
Speaker 12: Pass rush to do much. And that I believe is
Speaker 12: easier said than done.
Speaker 13: And so yes, can you get that from going against
Speaker 13: the Jalen Hurts or if you know a brock Purty
Speaker 13: is playing well, of course, and that's why those games
Speaker 13: will be that, just like this game was, you're not
Speaker 13: blowing those good teams out. So I believe when I
Speaker 13: watched that game, the way Gino Smith played so well,
Speaker 13: that's why that this was more of a game, and
Speaker 13: I just see like, you know, comments after the game
Speaker 13: and and and people complaining that it wasn't another blowout
Speaker 13: and that this isn't you know a team that's on
Speaker 13: those I'm telling you, the way Gino Smith played, I
Speaker 13: don't care what team he was with, he was going
Speaker 13: to keep that team in their game. I mean, he
Speaker 13: made so many outstanding throws that sometimes you just got
Speaker 13: to tip your cap to guys. There there were plays
Speaker 13: that you know, he threw a couple of the metcalf
Speaker 13: where I was like, yeah, dron Bland probably needed to
Speaker 13: be in a little bit better position. About how many
Speaker 13: corners in the league are going to be in a
Speaker 13: better position then, and they got some confidence early. But yeah,
Speaker 13: even you know, just in talking with Mike after the game,
Speaker 13: like even said there was some stuff they were doing
Speaker 13: quick game wise that they have not seen from Seattle
Speaker 13: that much this season to have that effectiveness. And so
Speaker 13: because of that, I just think that there's a lot
Speaker 13: of people that will watch that.
Speaker 12: Game and be like, where was all the pressure? Where's
Speaker 12: all the pressure?
Speaker 13: Well, when you're playing at the level that Gino Smith was,
Speaker 13: I mean, and I'm not even talking about just completed passes.
Speaker 13: I'm talking about some of the pressures they got in
Speaker 13: there where he would just get the ball out, so
Speaker 13: that was an incomplete pass as opposed to just like
Speaker 13: a drive wrecking sack and things like that. So, I mean,
Speaker 13: there's just more to it than I just you don't
Speaker 13: need to style point every win. Be happy that you
Speaker 13: got this win. The team stepped up when they had you. Obviously,
Speaker 13: if you've watched the Eagles, they've had a lot of
Speaker 13: games like this. You're not going to blow out everybody
Speaker 13: like that. You should be if you're a Cowboys fan
Speaker 13: this morning, you should be happy with the way that
Speaker 13: the team played. Was it perfect, No, But to get
Speaker 13: that win in that game, the way that they did,
Speaker 13: I thought that was outstanding. Actually might be the most
Speaker 13: impressive out of all these wins to me that they've
Speaker 13: had at home.
Speaker 4: I agree with you, I really do. Six points doesn't matter.
Speaker 4: You've had style points all year. Style points are beating
Speaker 4: teams by twenty points or more. If you don't do
Speaker 4: that against Seattle, as long as you've got to win,
Speaker 4: get out.
Speaker 7: Of there and be happy with it.
Speaker 4: Especially like you said, Geno Smith had some magician work
Speaker 4: like plays just to get the ball out and to
Speaker 4: avoid a sack because it happened over and over again.
Speaker 4: And then we talked going into the week about how
Speaker 4: bad that offensive line was and how they do a
Speaker 4: pressures and how Geno Smith was under pressure for a
Speaker 4: lot of the.
Speaker 7: Games this year.
Speaker 4: Even when he was under pressure, he looked cool, calm
Speaker 4: and collected and was able to deliver really good balls.
Speaker 4: You're one turn of the right direction away for Tyler Lockett,
Speaker 4: away from another touchdown that you have to make up
Speaker 4: down the stretch for Dallas. So it doesn't mean it's
Speaker 4: the game winner and that it's over at that point,
Speaker 4: but it would have been much tougher for Dallas to
Speaker 4: make a comeback in the fourth quarter and to salt
Speaker 4: away the game after another defensive stop.
Speaker 7: I mean, it turns.
Speaker 4: It takes one player or the other to completely turn
Speaker 4: the tide of a football game. Dallas lost a game
Speaker 4: like that with Philadelphia earlier in the season. They won
Speaker 4: this one this time around.
Speaker 9: Yeah, And I think as well, whenever you look at
Speaker 9: the second half and how things played out and Cowboys
Speaker 9: having to kind of play from behind after Seattle got
Speaker 9: the double double, which we're going to talk about you know,
Speaker 9: taking the ball on the coin toss, but that's an
Speaker 9: next conversation.
Speaker 10: Being able to make up for it.
Speaker 9: The time of possession battle thirteen minutes more than this Seahawks.
Speaker 9: The Cowboys had the ball, so being able to have
Speaker 9: that and take that into the second half and utilize that.
Speaker 9: They ran the ball twenty times with Tony Pollard. That's
Speaker 9: the biggest usage I remember from him, at least since
Speaker 9: Arizona when he had twenty two carries. It ended up
Speaker 9: working out, and every single player on this offense was
Speaker 9: able to be able to find a stride defensively. Defensively,
Speaker 9: I need to go back and watch the film, but
Speaker 9: at least for me from an initial viewing, they were
Speaker 9: getting obliterated in man coverage. I mean, this is a
Speaker 9: really talented receiving core. Whenever you're able to get these
Speaker 9: guys going, Tyler Lockett at DK Metcalf obviously had a
Speaker 9: great day.
Speaker 10: The rookie Jackson Smith and Jigbas shut out Rockwell.
Speaker 9: Texas had an awesome day as well and had a
Speaker 9: touchdown called back that was close. These guys are athletic,
Speaker 9: they're talented, and they get off the line super fast,
Speaker 9: and we saw that, and they are man beaters, all
Speaker 9: of them. And whenever the Cowboys adjusted and they were
Speaker 9: trying to come back and figure out some zone concepts
Speaker 9: to work in by that point they were already kind
Speaker 9: of getting shredded. And then Seattle was able to adjust
Speaker 9: and Gino Smith did the same exact thing. So, honestly,
Speaker 9: a really impressive outing from the Seahawks offense and Gino
Speaker 9: Smith really stood out to me as well. But you know,
Speaker 9: when it mattered, Cowboys made two huge fourth down stops
Speaker 9: in the fourth quarter and they were able to come
Speaker 9: out with a win. Yeah, forget style points. I mean,
Speaker 9: that's a really good team. That's a team that's going
Speaker 9: to be in the playoffs, that's going to push a
Speaker 9: playoff team.
Speaker 10: You take that at the end of the day.
Speaker 7: Got it done.
Speaker 4: Forty one to thirty five the final score. When we
Speaker 4: come back, let's talk about Dak Prescott again. The MVP
Speaker 4: conversation is starting to heat up nationally around Dak and Josh,
Speaker 4: you said, you're not.
Speaker 7: Here for this conversation, but we're here for this conversation.
Speaker 4: Fair enough, we're going to talk about it because he's
Speaker 4: playing at an MVP caliber level. But what would it
Speaker 4: take for him to squarely be in that conversation down
Speaker 4: the stretch and continuing to play really good teams, especially
Speaker 4: with Philadelphia coming up next week.
Speaker 7: With here with more coming on Talking Cowboys next.
Speaker 15: Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the
Speaker 15: cheat of Savannah. I believe the big cat repellent he
Speaker 15: bought online was reliable, and now Todd is trying to
Speaker 15: be faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles
Speaker 15: per hour. But the good news is Todd has AT
Speaker 15: and T five G. It is fast, reliable, and secure,
Speaker 15: and he learned the best thing to do is stop
Speaker 15: running and toss her the backpack with the beef stew
Speaker 15: At and T five G. Fast, reliable, secure, It's not complicated.
Speaker 16: Five G requires compatable planning device. Five G may not
Speaker 16: be available in your area. See att dot com slash five.

Speaker 18: Welcome back into Dear Doctor, the show where I answer
Speaker 18: life's questions with an ice cold can of doctor pepper. Sheila,
Speaker 18: let's hear from my next caller, would you, Dear Doctor?
Speaker 15: My friend supported me during a tough time, but what's
Speaker 15: the right gift that says thanks for being the shoulder.
Speaker 7: To cry out?
Speaker 18: Okay, this one's easy. I say, give her a delicious
Speaker 18: Doctor Pepper. Nothing says thanks good better than one of
Speaker 18: a kind soda. Yes, any Doctor Pepper flavor will do. Now,
Speaker 18: just a reminder that I don't need to be a
Speaker 18: real doctor to know that doctor Pepper is the one
Speaker 18: you deserve.
Speaker 2: To talking Cowboys, Dak under center, followed by Lipke and Pollard.
Speaker 4: He fakes it to Pollard, steps up, throws back of
Speaker 4: the end zone.
Speaker 8: There cde Lamb tumbling, but he gets both feet down.
Speaker 4: Touchdown Cowboys and they retake the lead in the first
Speaker 4: first touchdown of the day for Dak Prescott. He finished
Speaker 4: with three in the air, no interceptions, two hundred and
Speaker 4: ninety nine yards. He was twenty nine of forty one.
Speaker 4: Shout out Chris Beam in the back for playing that early.
Speaker 4: This segment is brought to you by invisil Line, the
Speaker 4: official smile of the Dallas Cowboys, and Dak Prescott's been
Speaker 4: putting plenty of smiles.
Speaker 7: On Cowboys Nation's faces lately because.
Speaker 4: He continues to play at an exceptionally high level.
Speaker 7: John Base, You've covered.
Speaker 4: This team for the closer to a decade now thirteen years,
Speaker 4: so more than the decade.
Speaker 7: Goodness, How how does this stretch.
Speaker 4: Of game play for Dak Prescott compare to what you've seen.
Speaker 7: From him in the past. Is it the best football
Speaker 7: that he's played?
Speaker 13: Yeah, it's the best I've seen him play. And I
Speaker 13: think the only thing that would even be comparable for
Speaker 13: the Cowboys since I've covered him is there were some
Speaker 13: stretches in twenty fourteen where Romo was was really good
Speaker 13: and then obviously the defense wasn't that great in twenty fourteen.
Speaker 13: But no, for Dak, this this stretch right here, and
Speaker 13: then to do what he did last night against that
Speaker 13: Seattle team, Uh yeah, he continues to.
Speaker 12: He seeds expectations. If you take.
Speaker 13: Yourself back to that San Francisco game, what he's done
Speaker 13: Francisco game has been really impressive. I don't care what
Speaker 13: teams you're playing against. To not have just one game
Speaker 13: that kind of dips in these last seven that's been
Speaker 13: it's been pretty crazy, and I think it's totally deserving
Speaker 13: that now he is a guy that you know, I
Speaker 13: woke up this smat It was one of the first
Speaker 13: things I did is checked what the odds were on
Speaker 13: MV and he is second behind Jalen Hurts right now,
Speaker 13: and I think like a week or two ago, he
Speaker 13: was probably eighth, and then last week he moved up
Speaker 13: to probably fourth. I think it was tied for fourth
Speaker 13: with a couple other players, and now he's up to
Speaker 13: second behind behind Jalen Hurts, and I do think that's
Speaker 13: what it will come down to. I think the MVP
Speaker 13: race will come down to who wins the division, and
Speaker 13: it'll probably be that team's quarterback.
Speaker 7: No doubt about that. And if you think about it, so,
Speaker 7: if San Francisco.
Speaker 4: Defeats Philly this week, Dallas would most likely control their
Speaker 4: own destiny the rest of the way. Now there's some
Speaker 4: tie breakers that are involved because they would both be
Speaker 4: ten and three. If Dallas, of course, does defeat Philadelphia
Speaker 4: next week and Philly loses to San Francisco here on Sunday, there.
Speaker 7: Are some tie breakers there.
Speaker 4: I'm not sure how the order of that shakes out
Speaker 4: where it would be since they did split the regular
Speaker 4: season series, But if Dallas wins out, you would think
Speaker 4: they would control their own destiny. If that's the case,
Speaker 4: I don't think you could find anybody else as the MVP,
Speaker 4: because if.
Speaker 7: Dallas has win out, Dak Prescott's going to be a
Speaker 7: huge part of that.
Speaker 4: Against Philadelphia, Buffalo, Miami, Detroit, and Washington. He's going to
Speaker 4: need to play lights out as he has been and
Speaker 4: then continue that down the stretch in order to win
Speaker 4: that award.
Speaker 7: I think it depends on the Philly game. Really.
Speaker 11: I think even even if we don't win out, I
Speaker 11: think there's a really good chance if Dak plays as
Speaker 11: he's been playing, puts on a show against Philly.
Speaker 7: I think it's hard to argue.
Speaker 11: And you know, Jalen Hurts has you know, lots of touchdowns,
Speaker 11: that's great. But as far as putting the team on
Speaker 11: his back, standing on business, I'd give it to Depress
Speaker 11: standing on business, give it to dec Rescott.
Speaker 4: Do you think he could win the win the MVP
Speaker 4: Award without winning the division though voters do take you.
Speaker 9: Think he can do that just because you look at
Speaker 9: Jalen Hurts turnovers and it's there. It's something that it's
Speaker 9: kind of surprising me that he is number one in
Speaker 9: this race right now, just because you got guys like
Speaker 9: Christian McCaffrey that are having such a huge season, even
Speaker 9: to attack of I Loo or Tyreek Hill. And I
Speaker 9: understand it's QB Award at the end of the day sometimes,
Speaker 9: but I don't know.
Speaker 7: It could certainly throw a wrench into this whole thing.
Speaker 10: He definitely could with that left arm of his. But
Speaker 10: I don't know.
Speaker 9: I feel like if Dak can continue this pace and
Speaker 9: he can finish off the season on this pace, and
Speaker 9: you look at the numbers at the end of the year,
Speaker 9: they're gonna be staunchly different from Jalen Hrs. If he's
Speaker 9: able to keep this pace at least for whether there's
Speaker 9: five games list for the next five games.
Speaker 10: Or whatever, it'd be hard to argue at that point.
Speaker 10: But I don't know. We'll see.
Speaker 4: And the other thing about it, San Francisco, Dallas, Seattle,
Speaker 4: those are the next three games for Philadelphia. They've already
Speaker 4: taken down two of their tougher tests with Kansas City
Speaker 4: and Buffalo. Those are three really tough teams back to
Speaker 4: back to back again. The only thing after that New
Speaker 4: York Arizona, New York Giants, Cardinals Giants.
Speaker 9: So I could break down the tiebreaker really quick, Okay,
Speaker 9: so it'll go towards if they had the same record.
Speaker 9: At the end of the season, it'll go towards divisional record,
Speaker 9: which they would both most likely.
Speaker 10: Be at what is that five and one?
Speaker 9: Yeah, and then it'll go to conference record, which the
Speaker 9: Cowboys have three conference losses the Eagles have zero, and
Speaker 9: so the Eagles would have to drop another game because
Speaker 9: if perfect scenario they lose to the forty nine Ers
Speaker 9: this weekend, they loose to the Cowboys, that's still only two.
Speaker 10: They still need that one more.
Speaker 9: So they're gonna have to They're gonna have to have
Speaker 9: four losses at the end of the day, and the
Speaker 9: Cowboys would have to win out be super tough. I
Speaker 9: guess you would hope that they lose against Seattle, but
Speaker 9: that team losing three straight give.
Speaker 7: Me Tommy DeVito, Yeah, Tommy.
Speaker 9: Honestly, yeah, honestly, that that was I think that's your
Speaker 9: best shot because you get you get them twice in
Speaker 9: three weeks, and you know that's a divisional opponent.
Speaker 10: It's tough to do.
Speaker 9: You know, maybe some Week eighteen magic that the Commanders
Speaker 9: were able to pull off last season against the Cowboys.
Speaker 9: I think that's like your best opportunity. It's not the best,
Speaker 9: and you got Kyler Murray too in Arizona. Maybe he
Speaker 9: figures some things out by then, But that's that's gonna
Speaker 9: be really tough.
Speaker 10: That's gonna be really tough.
Speaker 4: Based off of what you've seen in the past, John,
Speaker 4: this is a Cowboys organization that has had either they've
Speaker 4: pretty much had the division.
Speaker 7: Decide going into the final weeks of the regular season.
Speaker 4: They haven't necessarily had it come down to the final week,
Speaker 4: and even if it did, it wasn't necessarily in their
Speaker 4: own control. Do you think it could benefit a team
Speaker 4: to go full pedal to the medal, have to win
Speaker 4: out desperation every week to get a win leading into
Speaker 4: the playoffs, knowing, hey, you're battle tested, but also you
Speaker 4: might be spent to a certain extent as the regular
Speaker 4: season comes to an end.
Speaker 7: Or do you think it would benefit them win or
Speaker 7: lose the division to kind.
Speaker 4: Of coast into the playoffs and have a bit of
Speaker 4: a downtime before then.
Speaker 13: Yeah, I think for this team, because I don't think
Speaker 13: they'll win the division. So just because of what that
Speaker 13: backstretch there for Philly, I mean, I think it's going
Speaker 13: to be a layup for them to win those last
Speaker 13: three games.
Speaker 12: I think so I don't see them losing those, and
Speaker 12: so I think that's.
Speaker 7: Great if, yeah, I could get up ended, but.
Speaker 13: Yeah, it would make it very interesting. I just don't
Speaker 13: see that happening. And so because of that, if you're
Speaker 13: a wild card, I don't think you can just slowly
Speaker 13: back your way in. I think you have to be
Speaker 13: hot entering. That's the way I kind of look at
Speaker 13: that Packers team that McCarthy led to the super Bowl
Speaker 13: in twenty ten. You know, they were a wild card.
Speaker 13: You know, you got to get hot at the right
Speaker 13: time and have things clicking. And so with that, I'm
Speaker 13: not sitting here saying that, Hey, if you feel like,
Speaker 13: maybe you know, let's sit Tyron Smith for this game
Speaker 13: or something like that, because he's dealing with the nagging
Speaker 13: whatever you got, you don't have a chance to win
Speaker 13: the division. Okay, fine, but I'm saying I don't. I
Speaker 13: wouldn't pull my foot off the gas. I'm trying to
Speaker 13: keep this offense clicking and building on what it's done
Speaker 13: because this is still the.
Speaker 12: First year of Mike McCarthy calling plays.
Speaker 13: So I don't think it would be good for them
Speaker 13: to take their their foot off the gas. If they
Speaker 13: are all of a sudden, like, oh, well, we're not
Speaker 13: going to catch them now these last two weeks. Let's
Speaker 13: just rest everybody. I don't and I don't see them
Speaker 13: doing that. They could have done that against Washington last
Speaker 13: year if they really wanted to, you know, I mean,
Speaker 13: there was still a chance for them to win the division,
Speaker 13: but it was a pretty.
Speaker 12: You know, small chance.
Speaker 13: So I don't I don't see mich McCarthy doing that either, though,
Speaker 13: to be honest with you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you would need in order for the script to flip.
Speaker 4: You would really need Philadelphia just to lose these next three,
Speaker 4: lose to San Francisco on Sunday, of course, the Cowboys.
Speaker 4: You got to get a win next week. That's that's
Speaker 4: step one regardless.
Speaker 13: Well, if we're being honest, I mean, that's if they
Speaker 13: stay healthy. I mean they if you lost some players.
Speaker 13: I mean, if you watch Philly, they're not the same
Speaker 13: team without Lane Johnson.
Speaker 7: I mean you just talk.
Speaker 13: Obviously, they're not the same team without Jalen Hurts. But
Speaker 13: you lose Lane Johnson or one of those offensive linemen
Speaker 13: who have been dealing with injuries, and all of a sudden,
Speaker 13: they got to sit one of those guys because they
Speaker 13: want to keep them healthy for the playoffs and stuff.
Speaker 13: Stuff could change there, but I'm saying if they're lining
Speaker 13: up with their best guys, I just don't see how
Speaker 13: Like I look at it as if that, if we're
Speaker 13: talking both these teams stay as healthy as they are
Speaker 13: right now. I kind of look at it like Philly's
Speaker 13: basement as thirteen wins, where I see Dallas's ceiling being
Speaker 13: thirteen wins.
Speaker 7: It's it's tough.
Speaker 4: It's one of those things where the division may already
Speaker 4: be decided, but they got to play the games.
Speaker 7: We gotta keep going, got to play the games.
Speaker 11: And I think at this point, if you're worried about that,
Speaker 11: I don't think there really is a lot of need
Speaker 11: to worry. This team is playing really well and if
Speaker 11: they want to win a championship, they got to win
Speaker 11: those games.
Speaker 7: I mean it's it's home or away.
Speaker 11: Yeah, Like I believe in this team that's kind of
Speaker 11: home or speak, but you've got to win those games
Speaker 11: wherever they are.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 13: The reason the division thing stands out so much this year,
Speaker 13: especially in the time I've covered the team, is just
Speaker 13: this team's so good at home yea, and we haven't
Speaker 13: seen that for a long time where they're just spend
Speaker 13: this dominant home.
Speaker 12: I mean long time, you haven't seen this.
Speaker 13: This is the only time it's ever been like this
Speaker 13: at at and T Stadium since they moved in. This
Speaker 13: I mean, this is clearly the best they've played at home.
Speaker 13: So that's the part that really stands out. There's been
Speaker 13: years in the past where you're just like, now they're
Speaker 13: playing high at the right time to get out there.
Speaker 13: If you have to win in Green Bay, so be
Speaker 13: it whatever. But they and I'm not saying they can't
Speaker 13: do that stuff this year. I'm not saying they can't
Speaker 13: go to Philly wherever and still win, especially if they're
Speaker 13: playing well. But just this year they've created such a
Speaker 13: home field advantage that, like, you watched that game last
Speaker 13: night and you're just kind of like, I could see
Speaker 13: this going the other way if it's at Seattle. But
Speaker 13: the way that how they've played at home, you just like,
Speaker 13: to Kyle's point earlier, you just always kind of felt like,
Speaker 13: even when it got tight, like they're gonna make a
Speaker 13: play here, they're gonna make a player because they've played
Speaker 13: so damn good at home.
Speaker 9: Yeah, that was something that kind of popped in my
Speaker 9: mind during the game yesterday too, is just like it's
Speaker 9: I don't feel like this homestreak is about to and
Speaker 9: if they were.
Speaker 10: Allumin Field, I maybe feel a little.
Speaker 7: Bit different, but a completely different feel.
Speaker 9: A quick quick last note as far as you know
Speaker 9: tie breakers and how it will kind of work out.
Speaker 12: The press that you have all this stuff pretty good.
Speaker 9: That that Arizona game is we said it wouldn't happen.
Speaker 9: I think we kind of knew, but that lost to
Speaker 9: Arizona is going to be a killer, Like that's that's
Speaker 9: that's gonna be, honestly the that's gonna be the what
Speaker 9: is it?
Speaker 10: The fork and the Steak.
Speaker 14: I don't know what.
Speaker 10: I don't know. I'm fork in the steak nailing the coffin.
Speaker 10: Let's go there.
Speaker 9: I think I think that's gonna be kind of the
Speaker 9: nailing the coffin. As far as going towards trying to
Speaker 9: win this division, that's gonna be the thing that hurts
Speaker 9: and that's fort fork in the Steak. Can that be
Speaker 9: the name of the episode today?
Speaker 7: I don't know if that were, I don't know.
Speaker 4: We're gonna have to We're gonna have to work shop
Speaker 4: that one a little bit for oh goodness, all right,

Speaker 10: Gosh, I gotta go first this week.
Speaker 9: Okay, there was a gosh, there was so much to
Speaker 9: take away gosh, there's so many different phenomenal stickers to
Speaker 9: choose from.
Speaker 7: So many.
Speaker 9: Okay, I'm just gonna be super lame here. I'm pretty
Speaker 9: sure I has used this same exact phrase before. Okay,
Speaker 9: so we gotta we gotta peach here, second week in
Speaker 9: a row that I'm using a peach because Dak Prescott
Speaker 9: was kicking some butt. There we go throw it in
Speaker 9: super easy.
Speaker 10: I'm just gonna take that one to the bank.
Speaker 11: Yes, man, fork in the fork, fork in the steak.
Speaker 10: I wish there was a fork here.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I wish I wish there was a fork as well.
Speaker 13: All right, try and top that. I mean, Dack's the
Speaker 13: obvious one for sure. I just I'm terrible at matching
Speaker 13: these up with the player. But which one of these
Speaker 13: would you say is the oldest?
Speaker 10: Oldest? That Kiwi looks pretty gross? Was that a cute?
Speaker 7: No, that's a just because it's old doesn't mean it's gross.
Speaker 10: I think it's a papaya, is it?
Speaker 7: Yeah? Definitely not one.
Speaker 12: Like a savvy veteran.
Speaker 13: So this isn't just for this isn't just for this game,
Speaker 13: but just the way DeMarcus Lawrence has played.
Speaker 7: This whole season.
Speaker 13: Like I just uh, he's really I don't know, he's
Speaker 13: really exceeded my expectations.
Speaker 12: I thought I thought he would be really good this year,
Speaker 12: but I thought it would.
Speaker 13: Be one of those things where almost a little bit
Speaker 13: like Tyran, where you're you don't know from week to
Speaker 13: week because you know, as you get up there in age,
Speaker 13: you're dealing with like different nagging injuries. He's had foot
Speaker 13: issues in the past, stuff like that, that fourth down
Speaker 13: stoppy and now obviously they had the three big stops,
Speaker 13: you know, they couldn't get off the field and all
Speaker 13: of a sudden they needed it most and he's just
Speaker 13: been such a huge part of it. So I'm gonna
Speaker 13: give him this pineapple with these sunglasses, and I think
Speaker 13: I think he'd be happy with that pick right there.
Speaker 11: So I just think it's the best thing. Like John
Speaker 11: Machoda is a very serious journalist. Oh yeah, and we
Speaker 11: have him on talking pot like which of these pineapples.
Speaker 10: Is a seasoned vet?
Speaker 7: Yeah? I'm sorry, John, No, you're good, You're good.
Speaker 12: I'm terrible with this sticker picky.
Speaker 7: Shot, sticker picky things. So I'm going to give him
Speaker 7: this pineapple. Working son.
Speaker 12: Oh, I always go with whatever one I like the
Speaker 12: most that, all right.
Speaker 7: I put some thought into this one.
Speaker 11: I got a piece of hard candy, okay, because I'm
Speaker 11: given that to Jake the Snake Ferguson. I mean he
Speaker 11: had There was so much jawing going on last night
Speaker 11: and Jake was in the middle of it all. I
Speaker 11: don't know how you can't give it to Jake. I
Speaker 11: mean he was, he was killing it, and I just
Speaker 11: love it. Man, he just has an attitude. Goes out
Speaker 11: there John with Jamal Adams, I mean, come.
Speaker 12: On, that was great back and forth with them.
Speaker 13: But man, when Digs laid a really good hit on
Speaker 13: him Quandary Digs yep, and the way that he just
Speaker 13: got up and it was like, how can I get
Speaker 13: in this guy's face without getting a penalty. It was like, oh, well,
Speaker 13: you'll just be in my way as I signaled first
Speaker 13: down and just like walked right through him. Like it
Speaker 13: was just I don't know, it was very crafty way
Speaker 13: to like to celebrate without getting a flag for it.
Speaker 13: But yeah, you could tell him and him and Jamal
Speaker 13: Adams were drawn.
Speaker 7: Quite a bit.
Speaker 4: Had That one had me and Babe laughing in the
Speaker 4: booth because I got up calling I was like, I was.
Speaker 7: Like Ferguson with the first down and he signals it
Speaker 7: right in front.
Speaker 4: Of the Dray Diggs and I tried to watch take
Speaker 4: the exception, and so then I started calling the scuffle
Speaker 4: to a certain extent, and Babe was just laughing the
Speaker 4: whole time, like it was it was a funny exchange.
Speaker 9: But Jamal Adams was chirping from minute one to the
Speaker 9: very final second.
Speaker 7: I mean it wants to.
Speaker 13: Judging by what I heard after the game and continued
Speaker 13: well throughout their locker room availability.
Speaker 7: Did it. Wow, I'm gonna have to check that. I'm
Speaker 7: gonna go back and looking at the notes.
Speaker 4: Remember when when Dallas won and Jamal Adams couldn't be me?
Speaker 7: All right, this is a mcaroon, mcarron, whatever it is.
Speaker 7: I'm gonna say it looks like they're not French at all.
Speaker 7: This dude, I'm going to say it looks like a
Speaker 7: burger though. Okay, forty burgers have become the norm.
Speaker 4: Four out of the last five wins for the Dallas
Speaker 4: Cowboys have come with forty points or more on the board.
Speaker 4: Forty one points put up by Mike McCarthy as the
Speaker 4: play caller Dak.
Speaker 7: Said it last night.
Speaker 4: They're starting to find a way to call this game,
Speaker 4: and they've been able to attack the game plan with
Speaker 4: an utmost confidence that they did not have maybe early
Speaker 4: in the season.
Speaker 7: This one's for you.
Speaker 4: Mike McCarthy got it done as the play caller, and
Speaker 4: then really the entire.
Speaker 7: Offense getting the job done. There were times in the
Speaker 7: season when we looked at this offense and said they
Speaker 7: aren't good enough to win you football games. They won
Speaker 7: you a football game last night on a bad night
Speaker 7: for the defense.
Speaker 4: And that's something that I think is actually encouraging for
Speaker 4: Cowboys fans if they want to start running the table,
Speaker 4: if they want to win these.
Speaker 7: Last five games, you may not have both the offense.
Speaker 4: And defense playing their best games of the year. You
Speaker 4: need one or the other to step up in a
Speaker 4: big way. Last night, it was the offense.
Speaker 7: That stepped up in a big way. So that's my
Speaker 7: smelly sticker this time around. All right, let's pick some games.
Speaker 7: We have Abe in Las Vegas on the line, Abe,
Speaker 7: what's going on?
Speaker 14: Good morning? So it was just one is for not
Speaker 14: blocking my number?
Speaker 7: Why why would why would he block your number?
Speaker 14: Because I'm the same guy that went on the seat
Speaker 14: of last guy, and he called every other season as well.
Speaker 4: Ah okay, okay, yeah, didn't block the number. We're gonna
Speaker 4: see if you can keep up that hot streak here
Speaker 4: in week thirteen.
Speaker 9: Yeah, he couldn't face you today though he knew you
Speaker 9: were coming in. He's like, you know, I can't.
Speaker 5: I can't face that just for him, go dog this time,
Speaker 5: just this time though, just this time, you might as
Speaker 5: well try and hit him up because he's hading your
Speaker 5: way this time, because you're in Las Vegas.
Speaker 14: It's true, that's true. He can come over and hit
Speaker 14: a video bros.
Speaker 7: Yeah, there you go. I'll make sure that he knows
Speaker 7: that the invite is open. All right.
Speaker 4: Every Body went three and three last week except for
Speaker 4: Nick Harris.
Speaker 10: Oh god, he went two and four. It was a
Speaker 10: bad week.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it was a rough week.
Speaker 4: Nick and John are currently tied at thirty nine and
Speaker 4: twenty seven.
Speaker 7: Isaiah is still two games below you guys in final positioning. There.
Speaker 4: I am in the league currently forty six and twenty overall,
Speaker 4: followed by the fans who are forty one and twenty five.
Speaker 7: We have just five games to pick.
Speaker 4: We already picked the Cowboys game, and of course we
Speaker 4: all picked the Cowboys.
Speaker 7: That's kind of how it goes, right, at least on
Speaker 7: a week like this anyways, And I'm picking them this
Speaker 7: Sunday too. You're picking them to win again, let's go,
Speaker 7: They're gonna win. That would be like a San Francisco win,
Speaker 7: is what that end is up?
Speaker 10: How do you win the minibie you.
Speaker 7: Get you get some help from San franc That's what
Speaker 7: ends up happening there, all right, Broncos at Texans, this
Speaker 7: one getting started at noon. Broncos on an absolute heater. CJ.
Speaker 7: Stroud and company still playing good football, but Nick will
Speaker 7: let you start it off.
Speaker 10: Yeah, Broncos have won five straight.
Speaker 9: They've beaten Kansas City, They've beaten Buffalo, they've beaten Cleveland
Speaker 9: double digits. I'm I love c J. Stroud what he's
Speaker 9: put together. Texans are becoming one of my favorite teams.
Speaker 10: To watch in the league. But I'm gonna take the
Speaker 10: Broncos here.
Speaker 7: I'm gonna say.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna say Texans get a job done at home.
Speaker 4: Oh man, I keep picking against the Broncos, you know what,
Speaker 4: I'm gonna flip it. I keep picking against the Broncos
Speaker 4: and they continue to prove me wrong. Give me Denver
Speaker 4: to win it on the road.
Speaker 11: I'm going with Houston only because I want to see
Speaker 11: more of this c J.
Speaker 7: Stroud and what's your boy's name? Though, take Dellan.
Speaker 11: I want to see more of this relationship build on
Speaker 11: the field, man, I'm going with the Texans and Noah Brown, Dalton.
Speaker 7: Schultz a couple of those guys. Who are those guys?
Speaker 7: I don't know.
Speaker 9: I think Noah Brown's out busy, They're still still done, but.
Speaker 7: They're both injured. Thanks be uh John.
Speaker 13: Yeah, the Houston story is great and they are at home,
Speaker 13: but I don't know. Man, this this Denver run that
Speaker 13: they're on, Sean Payton, it's tough to pick against them.
Speaker 12: Give me the Broncos.
Speaker 14: Hey, yeah, I'm not to go with the Broncos as well.
Speaker 14: I think Sean Payton's kind of figured that, but he's
Speaker 14: gonna he's getting go, and I think once he gets that,
Speaker 14: one is little hard.
Speaker 7: Stopping, all right, So josh on An island on that.
Speaker 7: Let's go take in the Houston tex I like Tank
Speaker 7: Dell Falcons at the Jets.
Speaker 4: This is not a fun looking matchup, but it might
Speaker 4: be an even looking matchup.
Speaker 7: Is Aaron Rodgers playing in this one.
Speaker 4: He's activated for his twenty one day return window, which
Speaker 4: is crazy, right hit Madden, Yeah, exactly, Madden. A. We'll
Speaker 4: let you start this one off. Falcons at Jets.
Speaker 14: I'm gonna go with the Falcons on this one. On
Speaker 14: the smooth first, all right.
Speaker 9: So the Jets are figuring out their quarterback situation, or
Speaker 9: at least attempting to.
Speaker 10: Tim Boyle is going to be making his second start.
Speaker 9: I it's it's so hard to pick teams that have
Speaker 9: a quarterback situation like this one, and especially with the
Speaker 9: way the.
Speaker 10: Jets have been playing this year.
Speaker 9: But it's the Atlanta Falcons and they find ways to
Speaker 9: lose games like this.
Speaker 10: So I'm taking the Jets.
Speaker 12: J Et S John, Yeah, I have no faith in
Speaker 12: the Falcons. I just don't.
Speaker 13: Yeah, give me the Jets. Not that I have a
Speaker 13: lot of faith in them neither. This is an awful matchup, yeh,
Speaker 13: give me the Jets.
Speaker 7: Well, I'm not even ranked, so I need to make
Speaker 7: up some ground here. I gotta make up. Going with
Speaker 7: the Falcon, going with the Falcons, I'm gonna go with you.
Speaker 7: I'm gonna take Atlanta on the road to get it done.
Speaker 4: Against the Jets, all right, the Browns at the Rams.
Speaker 7: Brown's currently seven.
Speaker 4: And four, still playing of course without Deshaun Watson, Nick
Speaker 4: Chubb and company.
Speaker 7: But the Rams at home in Sofi Stadium. What do
Speaker 7: you think, Joff?
Speaker 10: Ugh, that's tough. That's tough.
Speaker 11: Love the Browns defense. And I picked against him last
Speaker 11: time and I was proven wrong. But the Browns always
Speaker 11: seem to pull it out, okay, right right when you
Speaker 11: don't want him to. So I'm gonna go with the Browns.
Speaker 7: Okay, Browns get it done.
Speaker 9: I'm gonna take I'm gonna take the Rams here because
Speaker 9: of the quarterback situation going on in Cleveland. Two touchdowns
Speaker 9: are just nine interceptions for the backup quarterbacks in Cleveland
Speaker 9: so far this year, So until they can figure that out,
Speaker 9: I'm taking their opponents to give me the Rams. A.
Speaker 14: I'm gonna take the Browns on this one, John.
Speaker 12: Yeah, right, I'm going Rams.
Speaker 13: I like their quarterback situation better and I hate this
Speaker 13: game Holmes as much as the one before it, So
Speaker 13: I'll give me the home team.
Speaker 7: There's some two good games coming up here.
Speaker 4: In a second, I'll take the Ramps to get it
Speaker 4: done at home.
Speaker 7: All right.
Speaker 4: Next one is the Chiefs at the Packers. This is
Speaker 4: Sunday night football. This would have been a fun matchup
Speaker 4: if the Chiefs were playing I excuse me if the
Speaker 4: Packers were playing well, but Jordan loved trying to figure
Speaker 4: something out along the way.
Speaker 7: Give me the Chiefs on the road to get it
Speaker 7: done at Lambeau.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I'm with you. Give me the Chiefs.
Speaker 9: I think they're gonna start building some confidence here and
Speaker 9: going to December.
Speaker 7: John, Yeah, I don't trust the Packers.
Speaker 13: I was stunned with what they did on Thanksgiving, but
Speaker 13: I don't see them running back on a Kansas City
Speaker 13: team that really needs and needs a win. I mean
Speaker 13: the way that they've been playing lately that this is
Speaker 13: when I think they start getting hot.
Speaker 12: So yeah, give me the Chiefs.
Speaker 11: Jof Green Bay's just good. Just pack it in like
Speaker 11: go home, don't worry.
Speaker 7: No, I'm not. I'm going with Mahomes going over to
Speaker 7: Homes and the Chiefs.
Speaker 14: A yeah, I think Mahomes goes off from this game.
Speaker 7: All right. There you go.
Speaker 4: Final game to pick this week. Of course, the Cowboys
Speaker 4: already getting the job done on Thursday. It could be
Speaker 4: a perfect week if they get some help from their
Speaker 4: friends out West San Francisco at Philadelphia eight and three,
Speaker 4: the forty nine Ers taking on the ten and one
Speaker 4: Philadelphia Eagles.
Speaker 7: It's the best game of the week.
Speaker 4: It'll be three to twenty five Central time kickoff on Sunday.
Speaker 7: Abe, we'll let you start things off. Who you've got
Speaker 7: that one?
Speaker 14: Sorry, my phone kind of cut off there. Where were
Speaker 14: the teams?
Speaker 7: Forty nine Ers at Eagles.
Speaker 14: As much as I despise both of those teams, that
Speaker 14: we need some help from the Niners this weekend, So
Speaker 14: I'm gonna have to go with the Niners.
Speaker 13: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I feel like this might just be the bubble guts
Speaker 4: game for Cowboys fans across the board. Neither team really
Speaker 4: a fun team to look for, but you got a
Speaker 4: root for somebody to get a win. Abe, thanks so
Speaker 4: much for the call. We appreciate your support as always.
Speaker 4: Good luck on the picks, and we'll talk to you
Speaker 4: again soon.
Speaker 14: All right, devilmen hepoy the weekend.
Speaker 4: There we go, Abe and Las Vegas side of where
Speaker 4: Isaiah Stanback's headed for the tax Championship game.
Speaker 9: All right, Niners Eagles? Nick, Hey, Siri, flip a coin.
Speaker 9: It had It's gonna go Niners the road, get it done,
Speaker 9: all right. I'm so confident.
Speaker 7: It's that that type of game. Yep, that type of game.
Speaker 7: I think the Niners do. Get it done. Eagles have
Speaker 7: been on the brink of a loss for.
Speaker 4: Quite some time. They've they've lucked out but finished. At
Speaker 4: the same time, you got to give a credit to
Speaker 4: a team that's ten and one. They're ten and one
Speaker 4: for a reason. They have finished games and other teams haven't.
Speaker 4: And I think the forty nine ers are good.
Speaker 7: Enough to finish a game against the Eagles.
Speaker 4: Even on the road in the link. So give me
Speaker 4: the Niners to get it done.
Speaker 7: All right.
Speaker 11: I have a quick story, just really really fast, go
Speaker 11: for it quick fifteen minutes. But the first uh San
Speaker 11: Francisco playoff game here, I mean, you know, my first
Speaker 11: San Francisco playoff game here. I was sitting right behind
Speaker 11: E forty, who is a famous rapper and a big
Speaker 11: fan of the San Francisco forty nine ers.
Speaker 7: And did he talk like this?
Speaker 10: And did he talk to you?
Speaker 7: He did?
Speaker 11: But whenever, whenever they won, he was like on a
Speaker 11: story like, oh we won, and I'm in the.
Speaker 10: Back of we I'm sorry, I'm done.
Speaker 7: Yeah, we won.
Speaker 11: I was in the back of the background of his story,
Speaker 11: he kind of looking like this. I won't look look
Speaker 11: like that this week because the forty nine ers are
Speaker 11: going to pull it out against the Eagles.
Speaker 7: I hope you forty has a great weekend.
Speaker 11: Do you have a videos I didn't. I think I
Speaker 11: screenshotted it, but I didn't take.
Speaker 10: The video record or anything.
Speaker 11: But I'm in the background just like, oh, he forty
Speaker 11: son of a please leave.
Speaker 7: Yeah, get out of my man, all right, jacked out.
Speaker 12: Guest picker is in Vegas. Isaiah's going to Vegas.
Speaker 13: And when I saw the line in this game, I
Speaker 13: was like, Vegas know something.
Speaker 12: I didn't make no sense for them.
Speaker 13: To be a three point underdog at home, So I
Speaker 13: think Vegas knows something's up on this.
Speaker 12: Give me the Niners.
Speaker 7: Yeah, what do you think would be up on it?
Speaker 16: Is?
Speaker 4: It?
Speaker 12: Maybe hurts, Maybe old Lane Johnson is a season.
Speaker 13: I don't know, but when I saw that line, I thought,
Speaker 13: at very least it would be a pick for the
Speaker 13: Niners to be I'm sure that, Hey, they're motivated. They
Speaker 13: haven't played their best ball season and obviously that's where
Speaker 13: their season was ended.
Speaker 12: Last year after Purdy got injured.
Speaker 13: But I was stunned to see that line be the
Speaker 13: forty nineers be a favorite on the road, so I'm
Speaker 13: sticking with that.
Speaker 7: Give me the Niners Man should be a fun one.
Speaker 4: I'll definitely find a way to stop down and watch
Speaker 4: that one because it has so much of an impact
Speaker 4: on how the rest of this Cowboys schedule is going
Speaker 4: to look like and.
Speaker 7: Just what the divisional race will look like as well.
Speaker 4: This might be one of the few final shots that
Speaker 4: the team has to take down Philadelphia in the regular season,
Speaker 4: so you need them to get an opportunity to get
Speaker 4: it done. All right, We will be back on Tuesday,
Speaker 4: No show Monday.
Speaker 10: Will you pick the game?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 10: I picky.
Speaker 4: We will be back on Tuesday, No show Monday. We've
Speaker 4: got hospital visits to take of and so really cool
Speaker 4: day for the Cowboys. Everybody packs into the buses and
Speaker 4: goes across the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex to multiple hospitals
Speaker 4: and gets to visit with sick and injured children.
Speaker 7: Really a cool day across the board.
Speaker 4: So we will not be here for that one on Monday,
Speaker 4: but we'll be back Tuesday nine am to talk about
Speaker 4: the Eagles matchup and hopefully what could be a fight
Speaker 4: for the division at AT and T Stadium next Sunday.
Speaker 4: Special shout out to Isaiah.
Speaker 7: Hopefully his dogs get the job done today.
Speaker 4: Good luck, good luck to Washington and Isaiah stand back
Speaker 4: as well, and we'll see him on Tuesday as well.
