Speaker 3: Josh Rodriguez and Kyle Yeoman's.
Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboy.
Speaker 4: Well, it wasn't a forty burger, but it was a
Speaker 4: historic win for a couple of reasons. That's the Dallas
Speaker 4: Cowboys absolutely dismantle the Carolina Panthers prety three to ten
Speaker 4: in the final score from Charlotte, North Carolina.
Speaker 5: As the Cowboys go to Bank of America Stadium and
Speaker 5: they cash in with a win.

Speaker 4: how we do it today on this victory Monday?
Speaker 6: Done?
Speaker 5: Fire Harris Harris.
Speaker 2: You know what's funny.
Speaker 7: We were coming into the hotel and Charlotte, we had
Speaker 7: just arrived. It was probably like six six thirty pm,
Speaker 7: and we were coming down on the first floor, and
Speaker 7: like the first floors where all the elevators are, and
Speaker 7: the second floor is where the lobby is. So there
Speaker 7: were a ton of fans that were kind of roped off,
Speaker 7: like on the lobby looking down on like the players
Speaker 7: and all of us that were coming in.
Speaker 2: And I was coming in and I had just.
Speaker 7: Happen to take my AirPods out because I needed to
Speaker 7: get my room care or something, and I hear from
Speaker 7: all the way up top, Hey, Nick, how's.
Speaker 2: Your mouth feeling. I was like, Oh, I don't know
Speaker 2: who said that, but doing good. Appreciate it. I love it. Also,
Speaker 2: it's funny.
Speaker 5: But dude, that is unbelievable. I love that.
Speaker 2: It's pretty funny.
Speaker 6: That's dope.
Speaker 5: I showed.
Speaker 4: Uh I went up to So yeah, yeah, I went
Speaker 4: up to Tulsa called the North Texas Tulsa game this
Speaker 4: past weekend, and while I was on the bus, I
Speaker 4: made sure and showed as many people as I possibly
Speaker 4: could the clips that were happening from earlier that day,
Speaker 4: because we traveled up Friday, so the same day, same morning,
Speaker 4: and I had throughout the weekend had people coming up
Speaker 4: and they were like, Hey, how's Nick doing. How's Nick feelings,
Speaker 4: he okay, is he good? I was like, I keep
Speaker 4: checking in on him.
Speaker 5: I'm making sure he feels okay.
Speaker 6: You got fans everywhere. Yeah, hey, I walked in the
Speaker 6: building this morning in case security's like, man, I watched
Speaker 6: that man. He's a beast man. He pushed my gym.
Speaker 6: They're all talking about you. So you have a whole
Speaker 6: new fan base.
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's a good or bad thing.
Speaker 4: So take everybody through what happened after the mics went off?
Speaker 5: Was it was it good?
Speaker 2: It wasn't bad. It really wasn't bad.
Speaker 7: Yeah. I probably had like one little hiccup around like
Speaker 7: two thirty three o'clock.
Speaker 2: Thanks for the baby wife, Hey appreciate that.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: But the gentiles and the gentles, the fleshible gentiles.
Speaker 4: Oh, crazy, crazy crazy. All right, let's talk about this
Speaker 4: football game. Cowboys win thirty three to ten. And one
Speaker 4: of our early text messages here comes from Terry and Fayetteville,
Speaker 4: North Carolina's said, can y'all talk about the Cowboys fan
Speaker 4: takeover of the stadium yesterday? He was there, he said,
Speaker 4: at least seventy thirty Cowboys. And that's what Nick Eatman
Speaker 4: was thinking, was possible. On our pregame show, I asked
Speaker 4: them a similar question. I was like, this seems different.
Speaker 4: I mean, y'all were driving into the stadium. There were
Speaker 4: Cowboys fans, Cowboys logos everywhere. You couldn't get away from
Speaker 4: the Star in Charlotte.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it honestly surprised me by the way. Shout out Fattville,
Speaker 7: North Carolina. I love that place. Yeah, honestly surprised me.
Speaker 7: I figured it would be a Cowboys crowd, but Dad,
Speaker 7: I didn't expect it to be as bad as it was.
Speaker 7: And then you know, in the fourth quarter, everyone kind
Speaker 7: of left, so the stadium I think there was like
Speaker 7: an aerial shot with like, gosh, I don't know, four
Speaker 7: or five minutes left wherever they are coming out of
Speaker 7: a break, and it was just empty and Bank of
Speaker 7: America Stadium. But I really enjoyed that stadium. There's nothing
Speaker 7: special to it. But it's just like a Patrick Walker
Speaker 7: was talking about it, she is a nice ballpark basically,
Speaker 7: you know. But yeah, Cowboys fans, they came out in
Speaker 7: full force. We saw him driving in and you would
Speaker 7: have thought it was you would have thought it was
Speaker 7: in Arlington for sure.
Speaker 5: Yeah, shout out to uh.
Speaker 4: And even Steve Williams says here in Charlotte, North Carolina
Speaker 4: was at the game yesterday.
Speaker 5: It was a home game for sure.
Speaker 4: Let's let's talk about what the Cowboys did well. And
Speaker 4: they started defensively. That's what set the tone. I mean,
Speaker 4: you talk about Micah Parsons with the pressures early third
Speaker 4: down sacks, three of them in the first half, when
Speaker 4: when Carolina maybe had an ounce of hope that went
Speaker 4: away very quickly, and what they were able to take
Speaker 4: away defensively, Isaiah, I mean it was back to the
Speaker 4: past rush of old where teams want to throw the football.
Speaker 4: They probably shouldn't throw the football.
Speaker 6: Yeah, no, you probably shouldn't throw the football. Actually they
Speaker 6: were unning a ball relatively well, I thought. I'm not
Speaker 6: sure why they had been in that game plan. They
Speaker 6: were within ten points, but they did, and that's their fault.
Speaker 6: And once they decided to drop back, this defensive line
Speaker 6: did what they do best, and that is pin their
Speaker 6: earback and pir ears back and go get the quarterback.
Speaker 6: They were he was under the rest entire day. I mean,
Speaker 6: he's had a rough of your Bryce s Young, that is,
Speaker 6: and it didn't get any better this past weekend. Obviously
Speaker 6: Michael went off, Okay, he should have. I think he
Speaker 6: had finished two and a half sacks. I think Curse
Speaker 6: messed up his third sack by putting his fingertip on
Speaker 6: him and getting that half sack. But I think there
Speaker 6: were six different guys with sacks from correct somewhere around there,
Speaker 6: and there were I don't even know how many pressures.
Speaker 6: I mean, it was the out of the wazoo, but
Speaker 6: it was a party in the backfield. That's kind of
Speaker 6: what you expected if they were in that passing situation.
Speaker 6: But there are definitely some things that have to get
Speaker 6: tightened up in terms of that run still. You know,
Speaker 6: every time we think that the running game is shared up,
Speaker 6: you know, somebody who's determined to do so comes in
Speaker 6: kind of shows that you still have a little couple
Speaker 6: of week spots there, and definitely with the opponents that
Speaker 6: you will have to face, you might want to tighten
Speaker 6: that down.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think the fourth quarter made this a lot
Speaker 7: more digestible that it was looking to be going into
Speaker 7: going into the fourth, because you're going into that final
Speaker 7: frame at seventeen to ten that they just cut into
Speaker 7: a one possession ball game. You know, the offense has
Speaker 7: kind of stalled out a couple of times. The run
Speaker 7: defense looks bad, and then they're able to dry down
Speaker 7: the field, get the Tony Pollard touchdown, which was huge,
Speaker 7: and then turn around right back and get the drawn
Speaker 7: blam pick six, and then that was it was the
Speaker 7: ball game. But yeah, I think without even one of
Speaker 7: those two things, things get a little dicey at times.
Speaker 6: What about the extended drives, I mean.
Speaker 7: Yeah, so that's seventeen play, seventy yard drive and nine
Speaker 7: minutes to cut it to one possession.
Speaker 2: Like that was that was?
Speaker 5: That was bad?
Speaker 7: It was three fourth down conversions. There was a there
Speaker 7: was a lot going on on that drive as well.
Speaker 7: Within the running game. They had five receptions to Adam
Speaker 7: Dealan on that drive where he was going into that
Speaker 7: drive I think with only two or three, so he
Speaker 7: really turned it on in that moment.
Speaker 2: But yeah, credit to the defense.
Speaker 7: They came back out and started pouncing on the ball
Speaker 7: and Duran Bland able to get the pick six and
Speaker 7: then the I still haven't seen the replay on the
Speaker 7: on the fumble. Was it not jarred loose by the
Speaker 7: hit because they didn't credit a force fumble to anybody
Speaker 7: where at this was the drive after the dern Blad
Speaker 7: picked six on the third down or Bryce Shaan was
Speaker 7: like escaping the pocket and came up and then fumble
Speaker 7: the ball and then Marky Spell fell on it.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I don't think they credited a fumble, gotcha.
Speaker 7: Well, I don't know, regardless, regardless, just to be in
Speaker 7: there all my moment.
Speaker 8: It faked it. He faked it out his hand. Ah,
Speaker 8: he was running and he tried. He was he was
Speaker 8: acting like he was throwing it like back, like he
Speaker 8: was Gonn lateral with someone, and he faked it and
Speaker 8: then when he brought it back he lost it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because at least in the stat column it says
Speaker 4: here he lost the fumble. It doesn't say anybody forced it, gotcha.
Speaker 4: Jameis Winston Wilson recovered it. Yeah, very very much so.
Speaker 7: But but yeah, that the fourth quarter and made this
Speaker 7: a lot more digestible than it was looking going into
Speaker 7: the fourth. Didn't love what I saw from the offense
Speaker 7: overall yesterday. You can tell that they're trying to be
Speaker 7: creative in the run game. You can tell.
Speaker 2: And I'm glad.
Speaker 7: I'm happy because we were calling for that earlier in
Speaker 7: the year and every single week we see a different
Speaker 7: wrinkle being thrown into the run game. This week it
Speaker 7: was wildcat like okay, and that didn't work out well.
Speaker 7: But they're getting more creative. The offensive line is getting
Speaker 7: more of a chemistry up front. I think that's starting
Speaker 7: to pave some lanes for Tony Pollard. I think that's
Speaker 7: gonna be the biggest catalyst and towards this running game
Speaker 7: getting figured out.
Speaker 2: So I was wrong.
Speaker 7: It wasn't really creativity in the run game. It's just
Speaker 7: about this offensive line getting better.
Speaker 5: What do you think about the offense? What you see
Speaker 5: from Saturday? From Sunday? Goodness?
Speaker 6: Sorry man, long weekend, Yeah, long week It's kind of
Speaker 6: what I expected. And I mean we talked about the
Speaker 6: caroline and defense, you know, going into this game, and
Speaker 6: how they didn't have anything that necessarily scared you, but
Speaker 6: they had a been but don't break the type of defense.
Speaker 6: We knew that Dak wasn't gonna like the score where
Speaker 6: we knew that our receivers were not going to go crazy,
Speaker 6: but there was an opportunity to get the running game going.
Speaker 6: The running game did not get going the way that
Speaker 6: you would have liked to hope, but you know it
Speaker 6: was it was enough. It was enough. I don't really
Speaker 6: know what my expectation was. It was definitely wasn't high.
Speaker 6: It was nowhere near where it was. And some of
Speaker 6: the other opponents that we've had, I think they were effective.
Speaker 6: My biggest thing is just don't turn it over. They
Speaker 6: didn't do that, and that's a win anytime, you know,
Speaker 6: the Cowboys can step on the field and not turn
Speaker 6: the ball over. A Dak, you know, facing one of
Speaker 6: his I don't want to say arch and imssis, you know,
Speaker 6: but like one of his areas that he has to address,
Speaker 6: which is zone defenses, he was able to overcome that
Speaker 6: without having any major mistakes. That to me was a
Speaker 6: win for this entire team.
Speaker 5: I want to elaborate that on a little bit because
Speaker 5: we did get.
Speaker 4: Some texts and some tweets over the weekend about that
Speaker 4: statement about zone defenses.
Speaker 5: It's Dak traditionally.
Speaker 4: Is rated very high, graded very high against zone defenses.
Speaker 4: But what you're alluding to is whenever the decision making
Speaker 4: results in turnovers.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's not.
Speaker 4: He was twenty one of thirty passing for a good percentage.
Speaker 4: Now four of his six turnovers, four of his six
Speaker 4: interceptions this year have come against zone coverage, and it's
Speaker 4: been like that in the past as well.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's it. There's a history of that. I mean,
Speaker 6: I understand this people. I mean, I know when I
Speaker 6: make a statement, people can go back and say, oh, well,
Speaker 6: you know he throws against zone all the time. Yeah. Absolutely,
Speaker 6: there's two different different defenses. There's man in the zone,
Speaker 6: so there's a lot more zones in there are man
Speaker 6: in the league. So I'm not saying that he he's
Speaker 6: you know, not capable of throwing the ball effectively versus
Speaker 6: his own but that's where he struggles, right because people
Speaker 6: are able to sneak in guys or there's guys that
Speaker 6: he doesn't see, or people were able to run trap
Speaker 6: defenses and things of that nature. So that's the area
Speaker 6: that he has to continue to improve upon fully capable
Speaker 6: of doing so obviously like you saw yesterday. But you know,
Speaker 6: he was able to overcome that hurdle, and I think
Speaker 6: that's major. That's not something that people are going to
Speaker 6: talk about, but that's something that I looked at and
Speaker 6: I was looking forward to, and he did a good
Speaker 6: job with it. And I think there was a couple
Speaker 6: opportunities for him to force some balls. Actually he did
Speaker 6: force a couple that literally just lucked out. But that
Speaker 6: kind of you know that people won't really look at.
Speaker 6: But those are things that he has to look at
Speaker 6: and be like, no, don't go back that way, like
Speaker 6: keep making good decisions.
Speaker 4: Nine to seven zero. A really good question here. Do
Speaker 4: you think the run game was affected by play calling?
Speaker 4: Pollard was running in terms of yards per carry pretty well.
Speaker 5: Throughout the day.
Speaker 6: I mean that defensive line was was doing a pretty
Speaker 6: good number. I mean he was toting the Rocky who
Speaker 6: was towing the rocks well for sixty one and that's
Speaker 6: five point one yards per care, Oh for sure. I
Speaker 6: mean he had the touchdown. Yeah, he had a couple splashes.
Speaker 6: I mean, but him, he had twelve touches out the backfield,
Speaker 6: and I think he had another five and catches if
Speaker 6: I remember correctly. So I think that they're going to
Speaker 6: continue to try to find ways to get creative. They
Speaker 6: did have some two big nasties on the inside that
Speaker 6: played better than I expected. I don't remember Derek Brown,
Speaker 6: Yeah he was, Yeah, he was a terror yesterday. So
Speaker 6: I mean that caused some issues.
Speaker 4: I've got my film notes that I'll tweet out here
Speaker 4: in a little bit, and that's one of them. Zach
Speaker 4: Martin had some struggles at times against Derek Brown, which.
Speaker 5: Was a little shocking to me.
Speaker 7: The twenty one yard touchdown really saved face for Tony
Speaker 7: Pollard's average. His first three carries went for thirty four yards,
Speaker 7: his next eight carries went for six yards, and then
Speaker 7: he had the twenty one yard touchdown.
Speaker 5: What do you feel like plays into that?
Speaker 2: What plays into the bad average drop off?
Speaker 5: The drop off fact that it goes from very high
Speaker 5: to very low.
Speaker 7: Well, you had a couple of plays where the wildcat
Speaker 7: kind of forced forced him back a little bit, and.
Speaker 5: Then can we throw that out of the playbook?
Speaker 2: I think it will, think I don't think it's the
Speaker 2: need to ask for they. I think it will be sure, but.
Speaker 7: More so just not finding any holes up front and
Speaker 7: trying to run downhill.
Speaker 2: I can't really think off the top of my head.
Speaker 7: Again, I haven't gone back on film yet, but I
Speaker 7: can't think off the top of my head where he
Speaker 7: was allowed to get out in space on a consistent basis.
Speaker 7: I remember there being one play where they had they
Speaker 7: had had lip key kind of in an eye formation
Speaker 7: and Lipkey came around to the left side and was
Speaker 7: blocking out in space for him, and I liked the
Speaker 7: way it looked. It was just still was a corner
Speaker 7: that had gotten got a really good angle on Pollard
Speaker 7: and got his legs. But they never tried that again,
Speaker 7: so it was like, okay, But yeah, overall, I think
Speaker 7: that's twenty one yard touchdown really saved face for Pollard
Speaker 7: and made his final day look look better than it was.
Speaker 7: And I hate to say that because it's not like
Speaker 7: he had a bad day. It's just this is the
Speaker 7: same day we've been seeing all season for Pollard.
Speaker 6: Do you think he's getting enough touches?
Speaker 7: I honestly, I don't want him to get a lot
Speaker 7: of touches like that's that's I've never been that guy
Speaker 7: with Pollard, I would. I like this distribution where Pollard
Speaker 7: has twelve, Dawdle has eight, which you know a couple
Speaker 7: of those probably came after Cooper Rush came.
Speaker 2: In how many forty five?
Speaker 7: But I like the distribution there. I just I want
Speaker 7: to see those guys get put.
Speaker 2: In better situations.
Speaker 7: In my opinion, Pollard's not a downhill guy, and I
Speaker 7: know we've seen even last year and at times this year,
Speaker 7: and on the touchdown run where he's able to just
Speaker 7: kind of like squeeze between the tackles and weave around
Speaker 7: and get around guys. And I love seeing that from Pollard.
Speaker 7: But you're not gonna get that on every play. You know,
Speaker 7: he's he's best outside and trying to find you know,
Speaker 7: trying to find some action out in space. And I
Speaker 7: don't know, we just don't see that utilizes enough enough
Speaker 7: as I would like to see.
Speaker 4: Yeah, twelve carries four receptions on five targets, so I
Speaker 4: mean targeted at least as the primary ball carrier on
Speaker 4: seventeen of his forty five's.
Speaker 6: Now he came in averaging eighteen and a half touches
Speaker 6: per game, but seemingly touching the ball out the back
Speaker 6: running wise about twelve times per game. That seems to
Speaker 6: be like their number that they're capping him at. It's like, oh,
Speaker 6: he had twelve parright, go get in here, you know.
Speaker 6: So I'm not sure if that strategy or they're just
Speaker 6: kind of falling into that, But I don't think that
Speaker 6: he's going to find his groove the way that people
Speaker 6: want him to. Only toting the rock twelve times, I
Speaker 6: just don't foresee it.
Speaker 4: With that being said, the offense, I think it does
Speaker 4: leave much to be desired, and we'll talk about it
Speaker 4: a little bit as we go along. It wasn't the
Speaker 4: high flying offense where the box score looks incredible and
Speaker 4: there's six hundred and forty yards like we've seen in
Speaker 4: some of the previous weeks. But it's still something that
Speaker 4: I think there were positives to take out of it,
Speaker 4: and we'll talk about that later in the week whenever
Speaker 4: we look ahead to the Thursday matchup with the Commanders.
Speaker 4: But I want to talk about this defense when we
Speaker 4: come back. Should do Ron Bland be in the Player
Speaker 4: of the Year conversation? I think so let's talk about it.
Speaker 4: Right after the break on Talking Cowboys.
Speaker 9: Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the
Speaker 9: Cheat of Savannah. Todd believed the big cat repellent he
Speaker 9: bought online was reliable. Now Todd is trying to be
Speaker 9: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.
Speaker 9: But the good news is Todd has at and T
Speaker 9: five g. It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he
Speaker 9: learned the best thing to do is stop running and
Speaker 9: toss her the backpack with the beef stew at and
Speaker 9: T five G Faster, reliable, Secure, It's not complicated.

Speaker 7: hundred pounds when I come to the next one day.
Speaker 6: That's okay, I know, guy.
Speaker 2: Any hot sauce, oh, of course, a little bit of
Speaker 2: hot sauce.
Speaker 6: Oh you gotta put some of the season on there.
Speaker 4: A couple more celebration text messages for you. On this
Speaker 4: text line, Steven from the three to zero two says,
Speaker 4: how was the flight for Nick Friday Show?
Speaker 5: Was comedy, comedy, whipped cream forever.
Speaker 2: Baby, Yeah, I got up a couple of times.
Speaker 6: Okay, good yea. Would you ever sneak somebody with hot sauce?
Speaker 6: Would you ever like put like underneath.
Speaker 2: Something like drug them, not drug them hot sauce?
Speaker 7: Yeah, Like, that's that's as salt in some places, is
Speaker 7: what he's telling me right now.
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna answer that.
Speaker 4: Trying to give you some ideas. Uh, the three zero
Speaker 4: nine says, shout out to Nick. That wasn't hot sauce.
Speaker 4: It's a pepper extract. Other places have done challenges with
Speaker 4: similar items, and the contestants had to sign a waiver
Speaker 4: before eating a drop of a toothpick.
Speaker 5: That's Ian from Illinois.
Speaker 6: But Nick hairs is a beeft beast. Hot fire hairs
Speaker 6: maybe yeah, hot fire either that are cool with hairs.
Speaker 2: And one of the two is one of the polar opposites.
Speaker 5: Uh, let's talk about Deron Bland.
Speaker 4: Speaking of hot fire, Deron Blant has been on fire
Speaker 4: all day long.
Speaker 5: He's been unbelievable.
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh last year and last year his whole career
Speaker 4: is what he's doing right now. Of course, if you've
Speaker 4: been under a Cowboys rock for the last twenty four hours.
Speaker 5: He had his fourth pick six, his sixth interception.
Speaker 4: Of the year, and of course that's eleven for his
Speaker 4: one and two years in the league.
Speaker 5: That's it.
Speaker 6: That's actually so how many games that's Deron.
Speaker 4: Blam twenty seven. That was his twenty seventh game and
Speaker 4: he has eleven picks. That's pretty incredible. And four of
Speaker 4: them this year have gone back for six, which ties
Speaker 4: an NFL singles season record. So with that being said,
Speaker 4: should he be in the defensive Player of the year conversation?
Speaker 7: Yes, absolutely, absolutely, He's gotta be right. I put it
Speaker 7: in five takes yesterday. I was like, he's an All
Speaker 7: Pro and he deserves to at least have his name
Speaker 7: in the conversation for defensive Player of the year.
Speaker 2: Fact, I'm not necessarily saying.
Speaker 7: He should win it, but I'm saying his name should
Speaker 7: start being brought up, because when you have six interceptions
Speaker 7: four return for touchdowns, he's.
Speaker 2: Tied or better or tied or more.
Speaker 7: Touchdowns than guys like Travis Kelcey, DK Metcalf, Davonte Adams,
Speaker 7: Tony Pollard. I mean, we could throw out a ton
Speaker 7: of names in the NFL he's got more or the
Speaker 7: same touchdowns as them as a as A as a DV.
Speaker 6: Yeah, the best cornerback in football right now, based off
Speaker 6: of stats and play.
Speaker 5: Uh, that's hard. That's a hard.
Speaker 6: Lowest lowest completion percentage against most interceptions, lowest.
Speaker 5: Quarterback rating, I believe is the stat.
Speaker 6: I think it's completion percentage, you.
Speaker 2: Think, I'm pretty sure regardless, it's either way. Yeah, it's rich.
Speaker 2: A lot of guys that have stacked years like this.
Speaker 6: I understand. I'm saying this year.
Speaker 2: That's what I say this year specifically.
Speaker 5: Yes, Yeah, then.
Speaker 6: It's a this year.
Speaker 5: I think it's hard to go against it.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I think it's with four pick sixes and then he's
Speaker 4: got two more on top of that, and you think
Speaker 4: about when he when he did it, some of them
Speaker 4: were in garbage time.
Speaker 5: I think two of them were in garbage time, but.
Speaker 4: The other two were in crucial moments, including this one
Speaker 4: where you needed a stop and you had to get one,
Speaker 4: and not only.
Speaker 5: Was it a stop, but it was a score.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I think there's there's a lot to go with here too,
Speaker 4: And I'm going to give credit here to Travis Roster.
Speaker 4: He's a he's a fan of the show on Twitter. Uh,
Speaker 4: he tweeted this out and he tagged us on here.
Speaker 4: Twenty nineteen Stefan gil More Defensive Player of the Year
Speaker 4: stats of course, Stefan Gilmour now with the Cowboys, he
Speaker 4: had forty nine tackles, twenty PBUs, six interceptions, and two touchdowns.
Speaker 4: Deron Bland through ten games has thirty eight tackles, twelve PBUs,
Speaker 4: six interceptions, and four touchdowns. Yeah, so he has more
Speaker 4: touchdowns the same interceptions.
Speaker 5: He's behind in.
Speaker 4: The PBu category by eight, but he's catching it seven
Speaker 4: games to play and then he has he's minus eleven
Speaker 4: tackles at the moment.
Speaker 6: How dare you be low on pbusing up on interceptions?
Speaker 5: How dare you?
Speaker 2: But that's the point, is that use more important interception.
Speaker 4: That was a defensive Player of the Year, And if
Speaker 4: I'm not mistaken, that was the last time a corner
Speaker 4: had won Defensive Player of the Year.
Speaker 5: Yep.
Speaker 2: So it's a pass rush award.
Speaker 7: It feels like recently, sure, And it's not like there's
Speaker 7: any guy out there that's blowing people away with sack
Speaker 7: numbers at the moment. I mean, yeah, there's there's guys
Speaker 7: that are at the top of the list that are
Speaker 7: already in the double digits, Michael Parsons being one of them.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I think again again.
Speaker 7: I just feel like a conversation needs to be had
Speaker 7: with the higher ups of the people who make these
Speaker 7: kinds of decisions.
Speaker 6: You just look at this year, that's the thing. But
Speaker 6: that's my problem with a lot of voting. A lot
Speaker 6: of voting people look at previous years. How long have
Speaker 6: they been doing it? Are they consistent? Put your blind
Speaker 6: news on what is going on this year? This year,
Speaker 6: this dude is a freaking terror for any quarterback.
Speaker 7: Yeah, especially considering the role that he had to step
Speaker 7: in and play. It's not like he had the whole
Speaker 7: training camp to focus on being a boundary corner. And
Speaker 7: you know, thinking back to training camp, I couldn't. I mean,
Speaker 7: he lined up on the boundary and team settings, but
Speaker 7: it's not like he was out there going against the
Speaker 7: ones every day, you know, like Trayvon Diggs obviously. So man,
Speaker 7: it's really impressive, and he's he's such a good dude.
Speaker 7: He's a great dude. We were able to talk to
Speaker 7: him in the locker room afterward, and he's just so
Speaker 7: giggly and and you know, got a got a great
Speaker 7: spirit about him. We asked him, were like, did we're
Speaker 7: thinking about the record at any point? He's like, as
Speaker 7: soon as I cross the end zone, I was thinking
Speaker 7: about the record. It's like, now I gotta go break it.
Speaker 7: I was like, Okay, cool, so uh not really good dude,
Speaker 7: And I'm.
Speaker 2: Happy for him.
Speaker 5: I think he breaks it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he's got.
Speaker 6: It's got seven games, he finishes with eight interceptions on
Speaker 6: the year.
Speaker 2: How many pick sixes?
Speaker 5: Six?
Speaker 2: And it keeps him have five five five, so he
Speaker 2: gets one more?
Speaker 5: Oh darn, he only had five pick sixes this year?
Speaker 7: How dare it would be awesome if it's a situation
Speaker 7: like when Trayvon had to pick six in New England
Speaker 7: a few years back.
Speaker 2: And that's how Deron blan.
Speaker 6: It's gonna be against Hurts. I'm calling it right now.
Speaker 5: Look mark this date, clippit Beamer, dude.
Speaker 6: If that happens, happening against Hurts, ant stadium is going
Speaker 6: to go crazy.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they may have to like restructure the foundation after
Speaker 4: that happened.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that would be wild.
Speaker 4: Compared to Deron Bland, who's been the second best on
Speaker 4: this Cowboys defense.
Speaker 2: This year, just based on Mica Parsons. It's got to
Speaker 2: be Michael right, absolutely, Michael Parson.
Speaker 4: You like what he would he showed in a rebound effort.
Speaker 4: It's kind of sad saying it was a rebound effort,
Speaker 4: but it was. He had two and a half sacks,
Speaker 4: tied a career high.
Speaker 7: Did you guys see the whole pregame scoop powder thing? Okay,
Speaker 7: So he was thrown up in the first quarter and
Speaker 7: Aaron Andrews was reporting on the sideline like, hey, he's
Speaker 7: battling some sickness. And then the Cowboys they come out
Speaker 7: and they're saying, no, he's not sick. He just had
Speaker 7: something to deal with in the first quarter. But he's
Speaker 7: good now and he's gotten two and a half sacks.
Speaker 7: So like everyone's like, okay, whatever you know. And so
Speaker 7: after the game we asked him, were like, hey, like
Speaker 7: you all right, you know what's going on. He's like, man,
Speaker 7: had some teammates that came up to me before we
Speaker 7: ran out onto the field. He's like, hey, tried this
Speaker 7: C four powder pre workout powder. He's like, oh, okay,
Speaker 7: I'll do it. So he takes a whole scoop dry right,
Speaker 7: he watched it down with some water. He goes, man,
Speaker 7: this stuff is really strong, and he gets out on
Speaker 7: the field. He's like, by the fifth play, my heart
Speaker 7: is beating out of my chest, like it feels like
Speaker 7: I'm about to explode. He's like, it's like I got
Speaker 7: CO two bottled up inside of me. So he had
Speaker 7: to run off. He violently vomits on the sideline, all
Speaker 7: that protein powder out. He does it twice, and he
Speaker 7: comes back on the field and gets two sacks in
Speaker 7: the first quarter. So we asked him, We're like, okay,
Speaker 7: so would you do it again if it means you
Speaker 7: get three sex And he was like, no, absolutely not.
Speaker 2: I'm sicking about it. Receied.
Speaker 7: He did joke later on he was like, maybe half
Speaker 7: a scoop, but yeah, it was really funny. But it
Speaker 7: was a really good bounce back effort from him.
Speaker 6: I'd say it's a big pre workout, pre workout. I'm
Speaker 6: not a big pre workout.
Speaker 2: I know you're not horrible. It's stuff is so bad
Speaker 2: for we.
Speaker 6: Had So I'm not gonna say brands because we've bere
Speaker 6: not sponsored here, but uh, there is. I had teammates
Speaker 6: Mark Colombo. Mark Columbo used to have brand.
Speaker 5: He had his.
Speaker 6: Umbo. I'll never forget. He used to drink this stuff, okay,
Speaker 6: and it was much stronger than what Michael Parsons just
Speaker 6: part taking took in. Okay, listen, this stuff. He would
Speaker 6: drink half half a bottle before the game and half
Speaker 6: a bottle at halftime, and it would have you jacked up.
Speaker 6: I'm talking about instantaneously, like you think you have two hearts.
Speaker 7: See when I do that type of stuff, like whether
Speaker 7: it be like a pre workout, or if I just
Speaker 7: drink like a coffee that's too big. Honestly, we went
Speaker 7: to Black Rifle that day. That coffee is a little
Speaker 7: too big for me. The whole day I was just wired.
Speaker 7: I can't even think right. Like I'm like, if I'm
Speaker 7: trying to do like you know, past protection sets, well,
Speaker 7: my mind's just it would be a bad.
Speaker 6: I got banned.
Speaker 5: Fad for me.
Speaker 6: I can see for hard those band I got banned.
Speaker 6: What'd you do going on air? Oh man?
Speaker 2: Is that our next bet?
Speaker 11: I have?
Speaker 13: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Do it an hour before the show.
Speaker 6: I would never do that. I'm not doing a thousands
Speaker 6: that one.
Speaker 2: I'm not doing.
Speaker 4: Where does Bland play next year? Good question from Ron
Speaker 4: and Concord, California. Even if he isn't the original starter
Speaker 4: on the outside, should he stay on the outside next year,
Speaker 4: on the outside on the boundary.
Speaker 6: Yes. With this current team, right, this current roster, he's
Speaker 6: still the starter on the outside. I don't see how
Speaker 6: you couldn't put him on the outside.
Speaker 7: Look, I'm I get you, I feel you. I want
Speaker 7: Gilmore back. If you can get him back another year
Speaker 7: and he's playing really well. He's not playing like he's
Speaker 7: played at the best of his career, but his ninety
Speaker 7: is better than a lot of people's want.
Speaker 2: I'd say, bring back Gilmore.
Speaker 7: I want to see a year with him and Trayvon
Speaker 7: and then put de Ron Bland in at the nickel.
Speaker 2: You're locking everything down.
Speaker 4: Yeah, by the way, somebody else, I think they're just
Speaker 4: trying to make a point here. They said, Kyle, what
Speaker 4: exactly is garbage time? You mean other teams are getting
Speaker 4: beat I'm not saying that. I'm not discounting Deron Bland
Speaker 4: having four pick sixes in the NFL. I mean that's
Speaker 4: the NFL, and that's how it is.
Speaker 5: He said, so, but giving up so it shouldn't count
Speaker 5: a win and as a win and an I in
Speaker 5: T is an I in T. I agree. That's the points.
Speaker 5: He has four interceptions. He needs to beat the defensive
Speaker 5: player of the year, return for a touchdown, four interceptions,
Speaker 5: return for a touch.
Speaker 6: Toilet Paper's not a baby white, it's not it's not
Speaker 6: at all. They have the same job, but they don't.
Speaker 6: They don't have the same effectiveness. That's not the case.
Speaker 6: But that's it doesn't matter nice.
Speaker 4: My point in saying garbage time was that it doesn't
Speaker 4: matter when the time happens.
Speaker 5: It's a pick six in the NFL, and he has
Speaker 5: four of them.
Speaker 4: The the argument I was saying was from somebody on
Speaker 4: the outside saying, oh, but he did it at late
Speaker 4: points in the game.
Speaker 5: No, that's dumb. It's a pick six against a good
Speaker 5: I mean against NFL players, the best players in the world.
Speaker 4: Starters starters too, because even if it's garbage time, the
Speaker 4: other team ain't taking their starters out in the.
Speaker 5: Games that Deron Blains haven't picked sixes.
Speaker 4: So really impressive what Doron's been doing. Michael Parsons had
Speaker 4: a great day. The defense did what they needed to
Speaker 4: do to get it done, and it's it's one of
Speaker 4: those things where you don't want to get a false
Speaker 4: sense of confidence. I mean, we've talked about that already.
Speaker 4: These games are supposed to be wins. Thursday is supposed
Speaker 4: to be a win. Next Thursday arguably should be a win.
Speaker 4: But with that being said, have you been impressed enough
Speaker 4: with what you've seen these last two weeks Isaiah to
Speaker 4: say that they're trending in the right direction.
Speaker 6: They're trending in the right direction.
Speaker 10: Good.
Speaker 6: I'm not going to say that I'm impressed. This is
Speaker 6: the expectation. You know, you have a really good roster.
Speaker 6: His front office has done a great job putting these
Speaker 6: guys in place, a really good coaching staff. Now it's
Speaker 6: just a matter of those all those three things kind
Speaker 6: of meshing together, right, front office, coaches, players, all those
Speaker 6: things come together, and now all of a sudden they're
Speaker 6: trying to become cohesive. People forget that just because coach
Speaker 6: McCarthy has been here as a head coach, he has
Speaker 6: not been calling plays. So they're still figuring things out offensively,
Speaker 6: Him and Setnaheimer is learning how to work together in
Speaker 6: terms of play calling duties, in terms of having game plans,
Speaker 6: in terms of making adjustments on the fly. You know,
Speaker 6: putting your players in position? What are your players comfortable with,
Speaker 6: whether they're not comfortable with, what concepts work best out
Speaker 6: of what sets, personnel groups? All this stuff is free flowing.
Speaker 6: They're still figuring this stuff out, even though the people
Speaker 6: on the outside of like well, the coaching staff is
Speaker 6: pretty much the same. It's not okay, these things are
Speaker 6: It's a fluid situation and they're getting more confident, they're
Speaker 6: getting more comfortable. However, there's still things that they're figuring out.
Speaker 6: You saw them playing around with the wildcat. Is this
Speaker 6: something that we can instill in our offense? Is that's
Speaker 6: what we can we can have these guys do. Didn't
Speaker 6: work out?
Speaker 5: Okay?
Speaker 6: Cool? All right, this is the game that we try
Speaker 6: that stuff, a game that we know that we could
Speaker 6: probably win. Let's try out a couple of things that
Speaker 6: are you know, a little bit riskier that we're not
Speaker 6: going to be trying. We need to know that it
Speaker 6: works or not. Are our guys comfortable with it? Can
Speaker 6: these guys actually carry this play out? You know the
Speaker 6: way that we drew it up. So a lot of
Speaker 6: that stuff is still pending itself out, but ultimately they
Speaker 6: are improving. They are getting better, and more importantly, everybody's healthy. Yeah,
Speaker 6: that's the important. Like, you're going through these games, you're
Speaker 6: learning a lot about yourself. You get in these reps,
Speaker 6: you're getting film that you can go back and watch
Speaker 6: and coach and correct on, get graded on, and you're
Speaker 6: coming out healthy and that is super important as you
Speaker 6: start getting closer and closer towards the end of the season.
Speaker 7: I was thinking about that yesterday whenever we were walking
Speaker 7: out of the stadium, I was like, I didn't hear
Speaker 7: from the press Bocks guy many times last night whenever
Speaker 7: it's coming over, like saying so and so is questionable
Speaker 7: or whatever.
Speaker 2: I don't think he maybe said it for on either side.
Speaker 2: It was the same thing last week too.
Speaker 7: So yeah, getting through the stretch and remaining healthy, that's
Speaker 7: that's obviously a big deal.
Speaker 4: It's a huge deal, and Dallas is not without their
Speaker 4: own fair share of injuries.
Speaker 5: We talked about it Trayvon digs out. I mean, imagine
Speaker 5: Trayvon Diggs and Doron.
Speaker 4: Bland playing opposite of each other, with Stephan Gilmour in
Speaker 4: there playing well, hey.
Speaker 2: You want stuff.
Speaker 7: Further, imagine Layton van Dersh and to Monclark doing their
Speaker 7: work and Marky's Bell being able to rotate in as well.
Speaker 7: I mean, they're dealing with injuries and they've been able
Speaker 7: to have young guys step up and do the right
Speaker 7: thing in their place.
Speaker 4: And that's credit to the coaching staff. That's credit to
Speaker 4: the players that have stepped up into that role, no doubt.
Speaker 4: But in the past we've seen Cowboys teams not be
Speaker 4: able to fill voids of injured players.
Speaker 5: And that's not always going to be the case.
Speaker 4: If you're going to lose high end guys, it's gonna
Speaker 4: take some time to make an adjustment. But those adjustments,
Speaker 4: at least here in twenty twenty three, with the injuries
Speaker 4: that have been given to you, it's been adjusted to.
Speaker 4: It's been there's been those adjustments to get the job done.
Speaker 5: The Cowboys keep winning games. Now, got to keep.
Speaker 4: Taking care of business the way that they've been taking
Speaker 4: care of business against the Commanders.
Speaker 5: This week, short week on hand.
Speaker 4: A lot of games between these two, Yeah, a lot
Speaker 4: of games in a couple of days. This is the
Speaker 4: ten ten days two games stretch or three games in
Speaker 4: eleven days stretching.
Speaker 6: Twelve, twelve, three and twelve, that's what it is.
Speaker 5: But yeah, lots here. This is the stretch where it's
Speaker 5: gonna be tough to get through. All right.
Speaker 4: When we come back though, it's time for our smelly
Speaker 4: Stickers segment. We got to get the helmet. We got
Speaker 4: to make sure and get it going. I gotta run
Speaker 4: upstairs again. I was I was too busy getting breakfast
Speaker 4: and talking to Isaiah beforehand.

Speaker 5: to do the time. Wow, that's what it is. Sorry, guys. Yeah,

Speaker 6: You can't really zoom in on that. That's a that's
Speaker 6: a little pineapple. It's a tiny one. It's a little
Speaker 6: tiny pineapple. Okay, a little poof on the head, k
Speaker 6: little little little Jerry curl up there, Okay, standing on
Speaker 6: four books? What's the significance of the four books there?
Speaker 6: That is the four interceptions that mister durand Bland has
Speaker 6: now taken back to the crib Basy, I've taken four,
Speaker 6: I know, Kyle, that's I knew. That's why. Get in
Speaker 6: in that. That's good.
Speaker 5: Get oh he is zooming all the way.
Speaker 6: Here you go, Beamer. Okay, so right there, that is
Speaker 6: miss drawn playing. Okay, got the little hair on top. Okay,
Speaker 6: he has a look at his eyes a nice wide
Speaker 6: open seeing the quarterback, seeing the receiver and grabbing his
Speaker 6: fourth book a k A touchdown running that thing back.
Speaker 6: He is absolute beast. He's an absolute dog. We just
Speaker 6: finished talking about him. Six on the season, four touchdowns
Speaker 6: ran back. I'm claiming it right now. He'll have eight
Speaker 6: interceptions on the year and five return for touchdown. Fifth
Speaker 6: one being against calling it.
Speaker 5: See all your pores on that shot all the way
Speaker 5: in right there.
Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: That's baby? Is that the secret.
Speaker 6: I'm putting this right on the front so he can
Speaker 6: keep his eyes open, he can see the next play.
Speaker 5: Like it.
Speaker 7: Like it all right, Joe, I'm about to I'm about
Speaker 7: to test test how you make that one work. I'm
Speaker 7: about to test the rules of this show already. It's
Speaker 7: like a pineapple. That's just like jumping up and down
Speaker 7: for the gates.
Speaker 5: Yeahs, let me see if I can make it work.
Speaker 6: Happy pineapple.
Speaker 7: Okay, I'm about to test rules of this this segment
Speaker 7: that we do every week because I need to do too.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, I need to do two stickers.
Speaker 7: Okay, So you got a strawberry here, huh, And then
Speaker 7: you got a strawberry and then a strawberry cut in half.
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna put it on.
Speaker 7: I'm gonna make it like one okay, okay to make
Speaker 7: two and a half strawberries for the two and a
Speaker 7: half sacks that Michael Parsons.
Speaker 4: Two and a half strawberries test the rules.
Speaker 5: It was good. Thanks.
Speaker 4: I thought you were gonna say something that was gonna
Speaker 4: get us fired or something like that. No, if that
Speaker 4: was gonna happen, it was gonna happen on Friday.
Speaker 7: I was about to say, after Friday, we're gonna.
Speaker 4: I think we gotta we gotta tread lightly for the
Speaker 4: next couple of weeks.
Speaker 5: All right, you're done, You've got to you've got what
Speaker 5: you got? One more too, all right, I'm gonna save one.
Speaker 5: This is the one. Yeah, I know we're gonna We're
Speaker 5: gonna just take all the stickers.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 5: This is the one Isaiah wanted to try and make work.
Speaker 4: It is a pineapple with a purse immersed yea immerse
Speaker 4: with its eyes closed, and it's skating and it looks very.
Speaker 6: Uh oh man, this is gonna be good. Clip it.
Speaker 4: I don't know, it looks it almost looks like she
Speaker 4: whatever the pineapple is is leaping is what it looks like.
Speaker 4: And I'm gonna give this to Luke Schoonmaker because he
Speaker 4: leapt at the goal line and made the grab into
Speaker 4: double coverage and had a phenomenal touchdown grab right up
Speaker 4: the sideline. There have been some drops from the tight
Speaker 4: end this year, there have been some top some drops,
Speaker 4: and especially on a play like that that goes over
Speaker 4: the top, he went up and got it.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell Luke and that is that is Luke Schoonmaker.
Speaker 2: I will give it to Luke though.
Speaker 7: That was a that was a heck of a catch,
Speaker 7: and that's a catch he has not made this year
Speaker 7: correct and he has had an opportunity went up and
Speaker 7: got it.
Speaker 2: I don't know what it is with.
Speaker 7: Those those tight end seams that Dak just dots every
Speaker 7: single time, but god, they're amazing.
Speaker 5: He's confident in that throat he is. He was confident
Speaker 5: in it, and Luke went up and got it, just
Speaker 5: skating down there, just leapt up there, got it done.
Speaker 7: How much credit of that do you think is given
Speaker 7: into Dak having Jason Whitten and Dalton.
Speaker 2: Schultz to start his career.
Speaker 5: I think a significant amount.
Speaker 4: I think the safety blanket that has been built in
Speaker 4: Dak's head.
Speaker 5: I don't know what's going on here. Bring it in
Speaker 5: is due to because he's had some really good tight
Speaker 5: ends in the past.
Speaker 6: Okay, yeah, this one right here, what is this is
Speaker 6: the MVP A week looks looks angry. This is the
Speaker 6: MVP a week right here, It looks heated. Had a
Speaker 6: heck of a game. Okay, had an interception, ran back
Speaker 6: for a touchdown. Michael Parsons had two and a half sacks. Okay,
Speaker 6: Tony Polter scored a touchdown.
Speaker 2: I think I know where this is going.
Speaker 6: Do you see this face right here? His face looks
Speaker 6: like something's hot?
Speaker 4: Hot, hot hairs right put it, Put it right in
Speaker 4: the middle, right.
Speaker 5: Hot there on the fire hairs right there.
Speaker 2: Put it on the next to Kyle's on the back.
Speaker 5: Put it next to mine on.
Speaker 6: The back, right there, zoom is.
Speaker 5: Look at that.
Speaker 6: That's a good spot right there, right hot fire hairs,
Speaker 6: right right.
Speaker 5: Through hot the teeth of the defense. Oh at your
Speaker 5: first smelly stuff? Come on as well? Earned What a
Speaker 5: game it was, well learned.
Speaker 11: Uh.
Speaker 4: Also, before we get out of here, I think we
Speaker 4: would be remiss if we didn't talk about the historic
Speaker 4: moment that happened pregame. Oh yeah, Uh, Jimmy Johnson headed
Speaker 4: into the Ring of Honor.
Speaker 5: How about that?
Speaker 4: Jerry Jones making that announcement before kickoff? And then they
Speaker 4: had the press conference that ran in to kickoff for
Speaker 4: a little bit. But uh, Jimmy Johnson going into the
Speaker 4: Ring of Honor and I think a lot of Cowboys
Speaker 4: fans out there never.
Speaker 5: Thought this day would come, but it is here and
Speaker 5: it's really cool to see.
Speaker 2: Yeah, can we talk about it? Do we have some
Speaker 2: time to talk about that time?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 7: Yeah, So before the game, this is about gosh an
Speaker 7: hour before kickoff, and we had known that Jerry and
Speaker 7: Jimmy were in the building together. I was down on
Speaker 7: the field just kind of watching Jerry and Jimmy have
Speaker 7: a conversation.
Speaker 6: Did Jerry and Tennas go up when you saw mister
Speaker 6: Johnson in a building?
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean not necessarily that, like it was happening today,
Speaker 7: But I was like, a I was thinking in the
Speaker 7: back of my head, like as they showed up together,
Speaker 7: Jeff Cole from Foxford posting them a video of him
Speaker 7: walking in with Jimmy into the stadium, and I was like, Okay,
Speaker 7: this is gonna happen eventually, Like they've had too many
Speaker 7: conversations recently, public appearances together, the Chargers game being the
Speaker 7: biggest one. And they walk out on the field and
Speaker 7: they're greeting people and of blah blah blah.
Speaker 2: Waving to the crowd.
Speaker 7: They're talking to a lot of people from the Panthers ownership,
Speaker 7: and I'm like, this is just kind of odd. And
Speaker 7: I don't know, you know, I'm me not thinking anything
Speaker 7: of it, Like maybe it's just you know, owners talking
Speaker 7: and Jimmy happened to be there. But Jimmy's like involved
Speaker 7: in these conversations like super and it looks like they're
Speaker 7: having like intense conversation. It's not like Fieryes, just looks
Speaker 7: like they're trying to work things out. I'm like, what, okay,
Speaker 7: what again? Not paying it much mind. There was a
Speaker 7: lot of stuff going on pregame and then I get
Speaker 7: a text like Hey, there's gonna be a press conference
Speaker 7: at twelve forty and it's twenty minutes before kickoff, and
Speaker 7: I was like, Oh, it's happening today. Wow, that's that's
Speaker 7: kind of crazy. But yeah, they had talked to the
Speaker 7: Panthers ownership and the reason that they did it yesterday
Speaker 7: is because it was the last Fox game that the
Speaker 7: Cowboys have where they were able to make it happen,
Speaker 7: and Jimmy's a Fox guy, and then they're doing it
Speaker 7: on December thirtieth when the Lions come into town.
Speaker 5: The Fox game.
Speaker 7: It's an ESPN game and Troy Aikman is going to
Speaker 7: be there, so that they.
Speaker 6: Wanted Troy to be there. Yeah that's cool.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so uh that's the Monday night game. It's a
Speaker 2: Saturday night, Saturday night game.
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, so.
Speaker 7: Yeah, but that that was the that was kind of
Speaker 7: chaotic and it happened completely out of the blue. I
Speaker 7: did not have that on my BEINGO card when I
Speaker 7: woke up yesterday morning. But yeah, it looks like I
Speaker 7: think the only people upset with it are the people
Speaker 7: outside of the building. Let me yeah, the people in
Speaker 7: the press conference. Yeah, probably because we didn't get up
Speaker 7: until I think I got up with ten minutes left
Speaker 7: in the first quarter when I sat down in my seat,
Speaker 7: and you know, it was it was it was a
Speaker 7: little bit of anger amongst the media.
Speaker 6: But it is close all with bunches.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we stopped our show, like, yeah, we were told
Speaker 4: ten or eleven forty is when they were going to start,
Speaker 4: So we we shut it down eleven thirty thirty eight
Speaker 4: I think, and then right after we show it down,
Speaker 4: they went on Fox at eleven forty. They didn't get
Speaker 4: a press conference at eleven forty, and they went on Fox.
Speaker 5: And it was really cool moment.
Speaker 4: I mean, we were huddled around the smaller monitor in
Speaker 4: our control room and Nate Newton was there. Of course,
Speaker 4: Nate was coached by Jimmy, and Jimmy's had a big
Speaker 4: impact on Nate throughout the years, and so getting to
Speaker 4: hang out with Nate during that moment was really cool.
Speaker 5: And got to see the reaction.
Speaker 4: Of all the Cowboys fans that work in our control
Speaker 4: room and got the share that moment together.
Speaker 5: It was cool.
Speaker 6: Yeah, if you guys have an opportunity to go back
Speaker 6: and watch Cowboys ote and hear what Nate had to
Speaker 6: say about his experience with Jimmy and what he meant
Speaker 6: to him, it was pretty dope. I don't have a
Speaker 6: lot obviously, I wasn't around during that time. I think
Speaker 6: it's pretty dope that they hearing some of the backstories
Speaker 6: that they both had in terms of how they started,
Speaker 6: how much trust they both had in each other, the
Speaker 6: risk that they both took, you know, with each other.
Speaker 6: I think that's amazing to hear those stories and those
Speaker 6: origin stories and see where they're at now, see the
Speaker 6: success they were able to have together. You know, people
Speaker 6: go through relationships, always go through pitfalls and hurdles and
Speaker 6: hoops and everything else. And to see them come back
Speaker 6: together and you know them both still be around, to
Speaker 6: have this moment together, you know, let's let's be realistic.
Speaker 6: You know, they're both up there in age, so having
Speaker 6: that opportunity to do that together, I think it's huge,
Speaker 6: kind of buried to hatch it in some sort, but
Speaker 6: I just think it's dope. I think I think it's
Speaker 6: an amazing story. I learned a lot in just a
Speaker 6: little bit of time that that mister Jones was talking
Speaker 6: in terms of how they got going, how they met
Speaker 6: in college. I had no idea. I had no idea
Speaker 6: that he was a personal guaranteer on his check. I
Speaker 6: had no idea that Jimmy just said, Hey, as long
Speaker 6: as you don't pay me less than what I've been making,
Speaker 6: like you know, just we'll work it out like that.
Speaker 6: Those are that stuff is all dope. They just let
Speaker 6: you know that everybody was on board and what it
Speaker 6: really took to get this organization going in the right direction.
Speaker 6: I just think it's absolutely amazing. But Biember, Biemer, did
Speaker 6: you did you ever think that you were going to
Speaker 6: see it?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 5: Did I think I was ever going to see the day?
Speaker 6: Yes?
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, probably because.
Speaker 8: I mean, and I just the way Jerry has been
Speaker 8: over the years, like loosing it up a little bit, you.
Speaker 5: Know what I'm saying.
Speaker 8: And and I heard.
Speaker 2: We heard a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 8: Actually kind of knew it a couple of weeks ago
Speaker 8: because they sat down and talked.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 8: But you know, it's funny because like you're saying about
Speaker 8: Jimmy and Jerry when they went to school together that
Speaker 8: you know they were they were there were roommates because
Speaker 8: Johnson and Jones are right next to each other in
Speaker 8: alphabetical order. So that's why they were roommates in college
Speaker 8: for the football team. So that's that's that's how they
Speaker 8: basically got together.
Speaker 4: So and kind of like how what you were saying, like,
Speaker 4: relationships go like this all the time, and a lot
Speaker 4: of times some of them, especially the highly valued friendships
Speaker 4: and highly valued relationships, they they take the biggest pitfall,
Speaker 4: and this was a high value relationship. I mean, the
Speaker 4: two of the top guys in their business that were
Speaker 4: friends in college, that worked up through the ranks together
Speaker 4: and then whenever they had the falling out, they had
Speaker 4: about as deep of a falling out as they did
Speaker 4: the growth together. And so to see them be able
Speaker 4: to repair that in a timely manner, to be able
Speaker 4: to get this to happen, it.
Speaker 5: Really is a cool moment. It was cool yesterday getting.
Speaker 4: To hear that, and we were on the pregame show
Speaker 4: when we were getting the information and we were kind
Speaker 4: of feeding it through.
Speaker 5: It was a bit of a scramble, but it was
Speaker 5: worth it.
Speaker 4: It was really a fun day. So Cowboys Nation, i know,
Speaker 4: is very happy to see Jimmy Johnson. He's uber deserving
Speaker 4: and that's no doubt about it. And so the fact
Speaker 4: that he's heading into the Ring of Honor, that's going
Speaker 4: to be a really really cool special day on December thirtieth.
Speaker 4: And we're gonna make sure Nate Newton's in the building
Speaker 4: for that one too, or make sure he's there for
Speaker 4: that one. So all right, that does it for us
Speaker 4: here today, on Talking Cowboys.
Speaker 5: We'll be back tomorrow. It's a Talking Tuesday.
Speaker 4: We're also going to preview the matchup with the Commanders
Speaker 4: because it is a short week. Can't dwell on this
Speaker 4: win for very long. Got to look ahead to the
Speaker 4: Washington Commanders.
Speaker 7: Just three shows this week, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, on Thursday
Speaker 7: or Friday.
Speaker 4: So plan accordingly, Plan accordingly Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and then
Speaker 4: enjoy your Thanksgiving Holidays on Thursday and Friday with some
Speaker 4: Cowboys football, and then we'll be back Monday as well.
