So the mentals are at an 0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:26.079 all time high right now. Heck, how about yourself.

Right like rain? 0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:35.079 You know you got you got something on Fridayay positive vibes. Well, listen, 0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:39.160 I have obviously high school football. Tonight, I got a 0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:44.960 game and our guy, the fighting Chris Beams College. Okay, 0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:50.079 what you say, are playing our guy tonight? So yeah, 0:02:50.080 --> 0:02:53.240 I will be on duty on w f A A Yeah, man, 0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:56.880 I will be. I will be booked and busy tonight. 0:02:56.919 --> 0:03:00.079 But man, enough about me, let's talk about these I 0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:02.760 was Cowboys. It is victory Friday for a reason, and 0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:04.160 I don't care what nobody say. 0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:07.519 You can you talk about it being an ugly win 0:03:07.800 --> 0:03:11.480 or whatever? It is? A dub is a dub now. 0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:14.880 I always defer to you on things like this, Barry, 0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:16.960 because I just want to know from a guy that 0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:19.680 is played in the National Football League, as long as 0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:23.400 you have there is there such a thing as a 0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:27.119 bad win. You talk about a defensive player right now, 0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:31.560 So to me, look look, there's bad play within a win, 0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:33.760 and you know, sometimes that could happen, like if you 0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:34.680 go out there you get. 0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:36.720 Burned for two tubs, but your team ends up winning, 0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:38.520 so you know you're over the A A dub is 0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:40.600 a dub, but your play was bad. So, I mean, 0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:42.920 I understand all that. But at the end of the day, man, 0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:45.480 we all understand how hard it is to get a 0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:49.160 W in the National Football League, especially against a division rival. 0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:51.600 So to me, a dub is a dub. It was ugly, 0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:54.040 it was choppy, and we'll discuss a little bit of this, 0:03:54.120 --> 0:03:56.080 but I'd never take away a you two and two. 0:03:56.160 --> 0:03:58.400 Would you rather be two and two or one and three? 0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:02.480 You know what I'm saying. So to me, there's never 0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:05.240 a bad W in the National Football League. Go ahead 0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:07.160 and take that man to the victory, la, I mean, and. 0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:09.400 I think that's really kind of startling to me, is 0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:13.280 that just twenty four hours ago before the game, we 0:04:13.320 --> 0:04:16.400 were talking about if the Cowboys lose this game, that 0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:19.359 the season is lost, that Mike McCarthy is on the 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:22.280 hot seat, and that this may mean disaster for the 0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:25.479 Dallas Cowboys. And then all of a sudden, the Cowboys 0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:27.040 go to the metal lands, they win the. 0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:32.000 Game, and now it's like, ah, I can't do that. 0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:34.960 Though we cannot do that because there's still some things, 0:04:35.160 --> 0:04:36.680 there's still some questions. 0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:37.440 That need to be answered. 0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:40.800 But overall, you would, like I said, you would take 0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:43.080 that two and two over one. Just think about if 0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:45.560 it was one and three right now, you lost to 0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:48.280 a team that you have beaten twelve straight times. Mathematically, 0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:50.200 you would still being it. You know, consider talking about 0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:51.600 playoffs and all that stuff. So one and three you 0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:54.520 wouldn't be out mathematically, but the psyche in that locker 0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:57.640 room would have been that would have been destroyed. I mean, 0:04:57.960 --> 0:05:00.840 you talk about arguments on the sideline you took all. 0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:03.480 You took an elder New York. I mean that plane 0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:05.920 rad would have been very very interesting on the way back. 0:05:05.960 --> 0:05:08.520 But hey, that's all to the side. They got the wus. 0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:09.200 Let's talk about it. 0:05:09.279 --> 0:05:10.800 Let's talk about some of the numbers that were put 0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:13.920 up yesterday. For Dak Prescott, that was his thirteenth win 0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:17.920 in a row versus the New York job Sonning. That's Sonning. 0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:22.120 That's only only Bob Greasy has more wins versus series 0:05:23.240 --> 0:05:27.280 back Hotel Tom Machine Amadog. Bob Greasey has seventeen straight 0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:31.160 victories versus the Buffalo Bills, and obviously that's saying a lot. 0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:34.800 But Dak Prescott thirteen wins versus New York. He's on 0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:37.360 the NFC East, and the numbers just continue to get 0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:40.160 better because Brandon Aubrey yesterday he hit a sixty year 0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:42.680 We talked about the fifty one yard love miss, but 0:05:43.000 --> 0:05:46.280 he hit a sixty sixty yarder. He is the second 0:05:46.320 --> 0:05:50.200 player in NFL history to make multiple sixty yard field goes. 0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:52.120 And we're talking about our kicker, who is not just 0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:55.360 any other kicker. He is proving to be a weapon 0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:59.920 for the Dallas Cowboys and also for coach Mike McCarthy. 0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:04.880 He is eighteen and seven versus the NFC East. So 0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:07.679 a guy that has been on the perpetual hot seat 0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:12.279 from the beginning of this year, going out and winning 0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:14.640 that game says a lot about him and his coaching 0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:16.719 ten yure since he's been here as well. But with 0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:19.560 they win yesterday, Dallas is now nine to two all 0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:23.160 time on Thursday nights, not including Thanksgiving. 0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:27.280 Way, yeah, a couple of them. 0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:29.840 Man, I'm cooking the books, so I got made off, 0:06:30.720 --> 0:06:32.560 I'm cooking the books over here. But one of the 0:06:32.560 --> 0:06:34.320 things that we wanted to do, man, just to just 0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:38.160 to spice up the show, and we came up with 0:06:38.200 --> 0:06:42.520 an idea, an idea on the players lounge to hand 0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:43.679 out loafs. 0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:47.640 So Barry, would you please explain to. 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:50.880 The people how if you get a loaf, it is 0:06:50.960 --> 0:06:54.000 perceived as a negative thing, but today it's going to 0:06:54.080 --> 0:06:55.000 be a positive thing. 0:06:55.080 --> 0:06:58.640 What is a loaf in football terminology? So the negative 0:06:58.760 --> 0:06:59.760 portion of the loaf. 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:02.640 I went under Marionelli, that was my defensive coordinator for 0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:04.640 a couple of years here with the Dallas Cowboys, and 0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:07.960 a loaf was considered if you got passed up on 0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:11.320 the football field by any other position, like you're racing 0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:13.320 towards the football and somebody else pass especially like a 0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:14.320 d line or a linebacker. 0:07:14.320 --> 0:07:16.520 Since I was in the secondary, passed. 0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:18.360 You up to get to the football, that would be 0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:21.600 considered a loaf. Okay, so that was the negative, you know, 0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:23.600 it was the process when it comes to the loaf. 0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:26.240 But here here's on the players. Let him. 0:07:27.240 --> 0:07:30.000 So getting a loaf on the players lounge is actually 0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:32.800 a good thing because if you are a movie buff 0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:36.960 and you have watched paid in full. Okay, Calvin on 0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:40.119 paid and full said he pulled out a wad of money. 0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:45.239 He said, I'm becking biscuits for the project. Hey, the project. 0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:47.520 That means maybe we're making it hot, and so we 0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:50.400 are picking a player on the defensive end and on 0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:53.760 the offensive end to give this loaf too, because that 0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:56.200 means you was hot and you were baking the team 0:07:56.240 --> 0:07:57.560 that was on the other side of you. 0:07:57.640 --> 0:08:01.800 So BC, I'm going to allow you to the first. Yes, 0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:02.840 you're going to give me. 0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:06.200 Man, you will play your and I want to make 0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:07.040 sure you get this loaf. 0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:08.200 This is this is. 0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:10.040 One of the you know, top honors you can have 0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:14.000 all right, handing out the loaf, the artisan sour bread 0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:17.920 or sour dough bread loaf. Yes, so from Tom Thumb 0:08:18.360 --> 0:08:20.400 checking out, you can also get an opposite as well. 0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:23.840 So for me, you know my loaf on the defensive 0:08:24.040 --> 0:08:25.960 side of the football, all right, I think I know 0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:28.040 where you're going with it. But you know me, I'm 0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:30.960 gonna give my loaf to a guy that you know, 0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:33.880 he's on the second level, all right. The guy might 0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:38.040 be the fastest defender that the Cowboys have, including Michael 0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:40.880 Parson's This guy has been known to hand out lost 0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:42.920 when you talk about the Marinelli version of the loast, 0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:44.679 that's the way he's passing these guys up to get 0:08:44.679 --> 0:08:45.360 to the football. 0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:48.440 But yesterday, this man was all over the football. And 0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:51.800 I'm talking about number thirteen, the Marion Overshawn. I mean, 0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:58.040 you get the the inaugural loaf on the defensive side 0:08:58.080 --> 0:09:00.560 of the football, because that man was all over the place. 0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:03.839 He was not only helping him run support. 0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:06.679 But he was out there guarding and making sure he 0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:09.160 tackled guys in the open field to get slot receivers 0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:12.439 some of the quickest, fastest guys out there, neighbors one 0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:14.120 of the best young I mean that dude. 0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:16.000 Is that dude's awesome. Now, that is good. 0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:17.960 One of the best young wide receivers out there. And 0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:21.680 Overshawn was winning the entire time. So on the defensive 0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:25.120 side of the football, Overshown, you get the inaugural. 0:09:24.920 --> 0:09:28.480 Fir, the very first low. All right, take this right here, 0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:30.280 and this is I mean, I'm telling you right now, 0:09:30.280 --> 0:09:32.160 this is is like in the Heisman. Damn there. 0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:34.720 All right, go ahead and take this loaf back there, 0:09:34.720 --> 0:09:36.520 locker and put it up tight somewhere. 0:09:36.559 --> 0:09:39.000 Man. But you could the inaugural loaf from your boy BC. 0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:42.240 So look, man, that's that's so awesome first of all, 0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:44.920 because there's nobody better to give that to. Because I 0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:48.520 think that the Marvin overshown the previous game against the 0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:51.000 Baltimore Ravens, but he'd have been on the other side 0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:54.240 of the I said that was that was that wasn't 0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:56.000 a good showing, but he made up for it in 0:09:56.040 --> 0:09:59.520 this game versus New York Giants. And obviously the production 0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:02.400 was there. I am going to hand my load. 0:10:02.840 --> 0:10:03.880 You what you're gonna do with the loaf? 0:10:04.120 --> 0:10:07.120 Somebody that was out there, boy, he was burning them boys, man, 0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:09.840 And I mean he was putting in major work. And 0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:15.400 he was my Yetti Cool customer. Yes on Wednesday Tuesday, 0:10:15.400 --> 0:10:18.560 excuse me, he came out to be my Yetti Cool customer, 0:10:18.679 --> 0:10:22.600 but none other than Sadarious Lamb. I'm gonna give this 0:10:22.800 --> 0:10:26.439 loaf to Ceedee Lamb because Ceedee Lamb went out there 0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:29.440 and basically what Ceedee Lamb said was, look. 0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:31.000 I hear you talking. We did. We were doing a 0:10:31.040 --> 0:10:32.880 lot of talk, a lot, all. 0:10:32.840 --> 0:10:34.840 Right, And I know y'all got a lot of camera 0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:36.240 angles of me and what I was saying. 0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:37.360 But what y'all didn't hear me. 0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:40.120 What I was actually saying was, managine, give me one 0:10:40.120 --> 0:10:45.839 more time to put this butter on the biscuits. I'm saying, 0:10:46.120 --> 0:10:50.439 we gonna butt them up. And that's exactly what he did. Man, 0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:53.160 he went out there, he did his thing. Seven receptions 0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:55.640 for ninety eight yards. Man, what a good showing for 0:10:55.760 --> 0:10:59.640 Ceedee Lamb. This Cowboy office seemingly getting back on track 0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:02.440 in the first half. Obviously second half different story, but 0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:04.840 still able to pull out this victory. 0:11:04.960 --> 0:11:05.120 Man. 0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:08.120 Before we go to the first break, man, I want 0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:11.760 to just get an overall opinion from you on the game. Obviously, 0:11:12.200 --> 0:11:14.959 fan bases, media, everybody's a little bit torn on what 0:11:15.000 --> 0:11:17.360 this victory means for the Dallas Cowboys. But what were 0:11:17.360 --> 0:11:20.160 your overall thoughts on that victory? So let me go ahead, 0:11:20.160 --> 0:11:22.760 since you just gave it to Sidarius. 0:11:23.320 --> 0:11:26.960 Hlariaous mama name he said, he wow, But I'm gonna 0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:28.640 go to start on the officer side of the football. 0:11:29.160 --> 0:11:33.000 To me, was you know Dak Prescott's numbers out there gotty? No, 0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:35.600 they weren't gotty by any stretch of the imagination. I 0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:37.800 believe he went out there and what twenty seven or 0:11:37.800 --> 0:11:40.000 twenty two of twenty seven, two hundred and twenty one 0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:42.840 yards out there. He was sacked once, but he had 0:11:42.840 --> 0:11:45.000 two touchdowns out there. And the most important stat of 0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:47.880 all this man didn't turn the football over. And those 0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:50.640 are the numbers that I need to see from a 0:11:50.720 --> 0:11:53.600 Dak Prescott, all right, right there in the middle twenty 0:11:53.600 --> 0:11:56.120 two of twenty seven out there, you're not turning the 0:11:56.120 --> 0:11:58.480 football over, which means you're not putting your team in 0:11:58.640 --> 0:12:02.560 harm's way. He was extremely accurate with the football out there, 0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:05.600 only missing five passes to those wide receivers. And what 0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:09.120 I the outside of turnovers, I loved the fact that 0:12:09.160 --> 0:12:11.720 he was able to get other people involved. It wasn't 0:12:11.840 --> 0:12:14.240 just seed or bust all right. Well, you know you 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:16.720 got Tobert in there. You had Cookes on a slant 0:12:16.760 --> 0:12:19.240 out there. You was able to spread the love to 0:12:19.400 --> 0:12:21.960 all the teammates. And that's exactly what we were talking about, 0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:24.280 I believe two weeks ago when we were talking about 0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:27.080 him being a force multiplier out there, making sure he 0:12:27.200 --> 0:12:29.680 rises all boats with his tie. And that's what he 0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:32.440 was doing out there. He was getting everybody. Ferg everybody 0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:35.520 had a piece of it. Ell boogie. Oh my god, 0:12:35.640 --> 0:12:36.600 had a piece of it. 0:12:36.640 --> 0:12:39.480 And I never thought I see today, Never thought I 0:12:39.559 --> 0:12:40.000 see today. 0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:42.640 I'm like, you know what, hell, Bookie was out there 0:12:42.720 --> 0:12:45.000 and he and he was doing this thing. But shout 0:12:45.000 --> 0:12:47.120 out to mister Prescott on the office side of the football, 0:12:47.200 --> 0:12:49.720 rising or raising all those guys level of play out there. 0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:51.439 That's what you love to see. 0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:54.520 And then you know the negative part about it offensively, 0:12:55.280 --> 0:12:57.319 that offensive line. I mean, you know you're gonna have 0:12:57.360 --> 0:12:59.280 growing pains. You know you're gonna have growing pains with 0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:00.680 those two young play players in there. 0:13:00.960 --> 0:13:02.800 But guid, we got to get you a little bit better. 0:13:03.520 --> 0:13:05.040 We're gonna get into that, right, I'll wait for that. 0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:06.520 Let me let me slid to the defensive side of 0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:08.160 the footballity defensive side of the football. 0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:10.000 I loved what I saw against the run. 0:13:10.120 --> 0:13:11.800 I mean, you hold a team to what twenty six 0:13:11.880 --> 0:13:14.440 yards you know, total rushing after giving up all those 0:13:14.520 --> 0:13:17.839 yards that you've had the previous games. That's what happens 0:13:17.960 --> 0:13:20.719 when this defense works as a unit out there. Now, 0:13:20.760 --> 0:13:23.160 I understand, you know, they weren't going against Dereck Henry, 0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:25.400 they weren't going against Kamara out there, going against it, 0:13:25.520 --> 0:13:28.160 I understand all that, but you can only play who 0:13:28.160 --> 0:13:30.040 you got on the schedule, all right, and they were 0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:32.480 able to go out there and dominate against the run. 0:13:32.679 --> 0:13:35.040 When you talk about playing as a unit, our guy 0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:37.840 for the first time I think I've ever seen Mizzie 0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:38.560 Smith showed up. 0:13:38.559 --> 0:13:38.679 Man. 0:13:38.840 --> 0:13:41.120 He showed up in a big way. And that defensive 0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:44.440 line kept those linemen off of the second level, and 0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:46.600 that's what I think was the pivotal part. You were 0:13:46.640 --> 0:13:49.200 able to get over shown to go sideline, the sideline 0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:52.120 used that speed, and Hendricks was able to come downhill. 0:13:52.320 --> 0:13:53.800 Now there's some things we need to worry about in 0:13:53.840 --> 0:13:55.640 the secondary, which we'll touch on a little bit later, 0:13:55.720 --> 0:13:58.280 But overall, I liked what I saw for the defensive 0:13:58.280 --> 0:13:59.960 side of the football, and I loved what I saw 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:00.840 from Dak Prescott. 0:14:00.960 --> 0:14:02.920 So you know, one of the things that I always 0:14:02.920 --> 0:14:05.920 say to you and we're having conversations about offense or 0:14:05.960 --> 0:14:09.160 specifically about quarterbacks as it relates to Dak Prescott, I 0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:13.640 never confuse him with the likes of the Patrick Mahomess 0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:16.040 of the world, the Aaron rodgers Is of the world. 0:14:16.080 --> 0:14:18.360 I don't put him in that because those guys, to 0:14:18.440 --> 0:14:21.160 me are expert marksmen, and I can tell they've done 0:14:21.200 --> 0:14:22.920 it at a high level for years and years and 0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:26.360 years just with the velocity of the placement on the ball. 0:14:26.400 --> 0:14:28.080 But one thing that I'm seeing from Dak, and not 0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:30.440 a lot of people are giving him credit for, is 0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:33.000 his placement now on balls. We talked about this at 0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:35.440 the beginning of the season, and I said this because 0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:38.280 I knew that Ceedee Lamb was going to face more 0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:40.440 double teams than he'd ever faced before. Because of the 0:14:40.480 --> 0:14:43.200 money and because of the success that he's having. Dak 0:14:43.440 --> 0:14:46.360 is able to make those tight window throws and he 0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:50.080 saw a ton of those guys you know, on several 0:14:50.080 --> 0:14:52.320 plays to Ceedee Lamb, he's tagging and putting the ball 0:14:52.400 --> 0:14:55.200 on him on the throw that he had to to 0:14:55.880 --> 0:14:59.680 what's my man tobert on the money on the money 0:14:59.680 --> 0:15:03.000 throws and Daker is having to make these throws a 0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:05.760 lot of times under the rest, moving to his left 0:15:05.920 --> 0:15:08.880 throwing with you know right obviously he's right handed quarterback. 0:15:09.080 --> 0:15:10.840 But man, those are just things that you're starting to 0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:14.120 see the maturation of his game as he starts to 0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:16.960 become elevate that players you talk Rods and todd rises, 0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:20.920 all boats, and that's what you have to do, because understandably, 0:15:21.200 --> 0:15:23.080 if you look at the Dallas Cowboys, you have to 0:15:23.120 --> 0:15:26.440 say to yourself, man, they don't aside from Ceedee Lamb, 0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:28.360 who are the other playmakers? 0:15:28.400 --> 0:15:31.120 Now I'm forcing Ferg. 0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:33.160 To be in there, and Ferg obviously has seven catches 0:15:33.200 --> 0:15:37.320 forty nine yards, but other than that, you don't see 0:15:37.400 --> 0:15:40.480 the second, third, and fourth guided being the production that 0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:42.680 you need. So you're gonna have to have a quarterback 0:15:42.960 --> 0:15:45.200 that can almost take these guys, carry him on the 0:15:45.360 --> 0:15:48.120 back and put them in positions to be successful. 0:15:48.320 --> 0:15:50.960 And that's what I saw yesterday. 0:15:51.000 --> 0:15:55.640 I think offensively overall the Cowboys still leaves a lot 0:15:55.680 --> 0:15:57.720 to be desired. Not gonna lie, there's still a lot 0:15:57.760 --> 0:15:59.560 to be desired on that side of the ball. But 0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:03.200 two of twenty seven, two hundred and twenty one yards, 0:16:03.240 --> 0:16:08.120 two touchdowns and no interceptions. No interceptions, And we've seen 0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:12.000 in those games before it's oopsie daisy or tip pass, 0:16:12.320 --> 0:16:14.600 the whole thing, turned the whole thing around, and we 0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:17.040 didn't see that last night. And I'm telling you really 0:16:17.080 --> 0:16:19.960 impressed with Dak Prescott and the way that he let 0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:24.280 this offense yesterday. But we got to talk about this 0:16:24.440 --> 0:16:29.400 defense that has been historically baged through three games of 0:16:29.440 --> 0:16:34.840 the season. Zim must have put his pimp hand down, 0:16:35.840 --> 0:16:39.040 because I'm telling you the defense came out and they 0:16:39.080 --> 0:16:40.520 were changed. But what we're gonna do is take our 0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:44.240 first break and come back here on the players lounge. 0:16:45.600 --> 0:16:46.720 Hey, they're Cowboys Nation. 0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:50.680 Kyle Yeoman's here sharing that same team that brought you Buffalo. 0:16:50.880 --> 0:16:54.680 Bringing NFL casino games that show America's team on and 0:16:54.720 --> 0:16:57.840 off the reels.
