Speaker 7: So salute to the veterans, Salute to the service.
Speaker 8: All the way through.
Speaker 3: But let's get into some news and notes because we
Speaker 3: have key matchups, we have some predictions to make later
Speaker 3: in the show, and of course Nick Harris, you've got
Speaker 3: our news notes.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Absolutely, So we were able to dive into the locker
Speaker 7: room yesterday for the first really kind of the first
Speaker 7: time this week on Wednesday. It was there weren't many
Speaker 7: people in the law room because they had to walk
Speaker 7: through later in the day, but we were able to
Speaker 7: catch up with a couple of players that are struggling.
Speaker 7: And first off will be Terrence Steele. We've talked about
Speaker 7: this week, just him allowing twelve pressures versus the Eagles
Speaker 7: twenty eight total on the season, and he was he
Speaker 7: wasn't necessarily grilled yesterday, but he was asked, you know, like,
Speaker 7: what's going on, and specifically on allowing twelve pressures versus
Speaker 7: the Eagles. He said, learn from mistakes. No one is
Speaker 7: harder on myself than myself. It's a learning experience. And
Speaker 7: then someone asked if his knee has been bothered him,
Speaker 7: bothering him at all this season, and he said a
Speaker 7: little bit. I definitely had ups and downs, but it's
Speaker 7: been good overall. I know Terrence Steele comes from a
Speaker 7: military household actually, and so he's he's when it comes
Speaker 7: to work ethic and putting in the work and everything
Speaker 7: like that, Like, you're gonna be hard pressed to find
Speaker 7: a dude on this team who will put in more work.
Speaker 7: But whenever you're coming off of a major joint injury
Speaker 7: like that, it's it's kind of difficult to be able
Speaker 7: to expedite that process.
Speaker 2: And even though he was able to expedict.
Speaker 7: Getting back on the field, as far as getting used
Speaker 7: to being back on the field, I think that's just
Speaker 7: taking a little bit longer. I guess my question for
Speaker 7: you guys is, you know, Mike McCarthy always talks about
Speaker 7: it takes about a year for those joint injuries to fully,
Speaker 7: you know, get used to being on the field and
Speaker 7: understanding like what your body is under this new format.
Speaker 7: What's your confidence level in twenty twenty four on Terrence
Speaker 7: Steele at this moment.
Speaker 9: I have high confidence in Terrence still. I think he's
Speaker 9: fully capable I think that, you know, I obviously from
Speaker 9: injuries myself. It just takes some time. Obviously, the mental
Speaker 9: aspect is hard, the physical is difficult within itself, and
Speaker 9: he's playing a very difficult position. And you know, I
Speaker 9: think he's had a bad stretch. There's no excuses for it, just.
Speaker 8: It just is what it is. He's on the field,
Speaker 8: he's capable.
Speaker 9: He's just a matter of him watching the film, going
Speaker 9: with again with his coaches, making the corrections and playing better.
Speaker 9: And I don't I don't think that he's a person
Speaker 9: that's going to make excuses for himself. Doesn't sound like
Speaker 9: he was yesterday. He's just sound like he was being real.
Speaker 9: You know, from time to time, his knee was bothering him.
Speaker 9: You ask every single person on his roster, they have
Speaker 9: something that's bothering them.
Speaker 8: You know.
Speaker 9: That's the thing about the NFL. You have to play
Speaker 9: through these things and you unfortunately you most people have
Speaker 9: bad stretches, you know, just Summer just highlighted more than others.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I wouldn't even say that this injury is like
Speaker 7: the kryptonite for the Man of Steel. I think that
Speaker 7: he had a bad game, and if you look at
Speaker 7: the other side, I mean bars, but if you look
Speaker 7: at the other side, I mean Tyron Smith played, you know,
Speaker 7: his best game of the season and probably the best
Speaker 7: game that we've seen from him in years. I just
Speaker 7: think that it's just another instance of where this offensive
Speaker 7: line is not totally complete. They have not been totally
Speaker 7: complete in a single game this year. But I think, yeah,
Speaker 7: coming off the injury, it's probably hard to just get
Speaker 7: back and fully be Terrence Steele. Again.
Speaker 3: It's really interesting because even Mike McCarthey was asked about it,
Speaker 3: like coming off of major injuries, and you can ask
Speaker 3: this to training stabs, to coaching stabs. Guys are sometimes
Speaker 3: thrown right back into the mix before they need to be.
Speaker 3: Terrence Steel came back within eight months of his ACL injury.
Speaker 3: It was unbelievable, his recovery, his rehab, all of that sort.
Speaker 3: Is he one hundred percent, like you said, probably not
Speaker 3: because of a multitude of reasons, not just because of
Speaker 3: the ACL and because of the knee injury. It's because
Speaker 3: of some of the stuff that he probably picks up
Speaker 3: along the way here in twenty twenty three. So to
Speaker 3: have the expectation of him being one hundred percent healthy
Speaker 3: after that injury after playing all games this year, every
Speaker 3: snap this year, I think those expectations are maybe a
Speaker 3: little bit too high. As far as the longevity of
Speaker 3: Terrence Steele, the one thing that I'm concerned about is,
Speaker 3: I mean, if he can continue to stay healthy, right,
Speaker 3: I mean, he has the one major injury, But outside
Speaker 3: of that, can he remain healthy throughout the entirety of
Speaker 3: a season.
Speaker 7: We already see it on the opposite side with Tyron.
Speaker 6: Smith and what he can do. I feel like both
Speaker 6: of those things play a factor into it.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 9: I don't mean I don't think about it any more
Speaker 9: than I think about anybody else being able to stay healthy.
Speaker 9: I think Terrence Steel, I think he's healthy, so at
Speaker 9: least when I say that, he may not be one
Speaker 9: hundred percent. Yeah, I'm not referring to this health and
Speaker 9: his capabilities. I'm referring to his technique.
Speaker 6: Do you think his technique has.
Speaker 3: Do you think it's technique has improved more over these
Speaker 3: last let's say, two years, than what we've seen growth
Speaker 3: wise from Tyler Smith in one year?
Speaker 7: No, But I will say last year is what earned
Speaker 7: Terrence Steel that contract before he got hurt. I agree,
Speaker 7: And there was some really good things there, and he
Speaker 7: was stacking good days, stacking good reps. Had to run
Speaker 7: through Like I think it was like a week fourth
Speaker 7: through eight last year, we were just like, all right,
Speaker 7: that right side is great. But as far as as
Speaker 7: far as Tyler Smith, I don't feel like there's an
Speaker 7: offensive lineman in the league you can point out right
Speaker 7: now that has taken as many steps as he has
Speaker 7: from the first time he's touched the field in twenty
Speaker 7: twenty two week one to now and he's playing on
Speaker 7: all pro level right now? Do you think his performance
Speaker 7: is sort of spotlighted by the contracts? Like because I
Speaker 7: feel like I feel like a lot of people aren't
Speaker 7: necessarily criticizing the oddish his performance for from the Eagles
Speaker 7: game as well. I mean like we're kind of overlooking that,
Speaker 7: Oh no, I did, not you did.
Speaker 2: It's definitely a different highlight.
Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 8: So there's a spotlight on him, and he's on an island,
Speaker 8: right He's on the island.
Speaker 9: It's it is what it is. I mean, you're playing
Speaker 9: to tackle, you're going to be highlighted. I mean every
Speaker 9: time you know, you miss a block or you get beat.
Speaker 9: It's like a receiver dropping a ball like all eyes
Speaker 9: are on you, everybody's watching, and you know exactly its little.
Speaker 7: I don't know if you said it earlier this week,
Speaker 7: but it's if if you have three bad plays.
Speaker 9: Out of forty forty four passes or whatever it was, Yeah,
Speaker 9: that's a bad day.
Speaker 8: Yep.
Speaker 9: The margin for error is so slim. It's like a kicker.
Speaker 9: You know, a kicker can't miss, you know, three field goals,
Speaker 9: you'll be looking for another job.
Speaker 7: And which just happened. I'm sorry.
Speaker 8: We don't have a kicker that misses field goals. So no,
Speaker 8: don't please knock on woods. Geez.
Speaker 2: If we don't learned anything last year year, we're not
Speaker 2: learned anything last year?
Speaker 7: Are uh?
Speaker 10: Oh?
Speaker 7: Go ahead, go ahead? No, uh, just that I forgot it.
Speaker 7: Go ahead, our next news and.
Speaker 2: Note Brandon Cooks.
Speaker 7: That's another one that's been struggling so far this season,
Speaker 7: seventeen receptions for one hundred and sixty five yards and
Speaker 7: eight games, averaging just over twenty yards a game. He
Speaker 7: was asked about his lack of production. He said, I'm
Speaker 7: just going to keep trusting it. That's just who I
Speaker 7: am in my mind. It's about getting back to work
Speaker 7: when it comes, it's going to come, and I really
Speaker 7: do mean that, I really do. And there was a
Speaker 7: lot of confidence that was just kind of coming off
Speaker 7: of Brandon Cooks during that interview, and somebody had asked
Speaker 7: him towards the end. He was like, you know, if
Speaker 7: CDs eventually going to be bracketed, he's eventually going to
Speaker 7: have double coverage and to where they just try to
Speaker 7: take him out of the game, do you feel like
Speaker 7: that'll open up opportunities for you?
Speaker 2: And he says if that happens, best believe three will
Speaker 2: be ready.
Speaker 7: So so yeah, I we've talked talked about yesterday about
Speaker 7: how there's a really good opportunity here in this game
Speaker 7: to be able to take those downfield shots with Brandon Cooks.
Speaker 7: Does he have his best game of the season so far?
Speaker 7: I know Isaiah's answers yes, because he said yesterday he's
Speaker 7: going over one hundred.
Speaker 8: Yes, right.
Speaker 2: I almost want to make a bet with you on that,
Speaker 2: but I'm not going Should we do the hot last time?
Speaker 4: We know?
Speaker 6: Is this the hot ship?
Speaker 2: Is this the hot ship bet?
Speaker 7: I did a hot Ship challenge that was rough, not
Speaker 7: the challenge, but just the sauce that you have that
Speaker 7: you apparently have at the crib.
Speaker 2: Okay, let's do it.
Speaker 7: So this is under one hundred, Okay, I win. Over
Speaker 7: one hundred, you win. What if it's a hundred on
Speaker 7: the duck, Kyle has to do it.
Speaker 6: Sure, if it's a hundred on the dodge. But if
Speaker 6: it's a push, we want to do it.
Speaker 8: Let's do it. I'll do it with you. If it's
Speaker 8: a push, all of us do it.
Speaker 2: We're doing it on Monday.
Speaker 3: We'll do it.
Speaker 8: That's fine. Yes, sir, do you have do you have
Speaker 8: a tolerable palette?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 8: Yeah, No, I always going to make any assumptions.
Speaker 7: I was going to make an assumptions, but absolutely, Okay,
Speaker 7: good on you.
Speaker 8: I was making.
Speaker 7: I don't want to make an assumption, say.
Speaker 8: Or you're good at basketball. I know, and I'm good
Speaker 8: at the trombones.
Speaker 6: All right, something you have.
Speaker 2: To bring milk on Monday because one of us will
Speaker 2: be dying.
Speaker 8: That's gonna be fun.
Speaker 6: So we're doing it on Monday, or we're doing the
Speaker 6: next Friday. What are we doing?
Speaker 8: I don't know.
Speaker 7: That's a good question.
Speaker 2: Well let's do it next Friday.
Speaker 8: Friday, that'll be Funday.
Speaker 7: People want to actually hear what we have to say
Speaker 7: on because we're talking if you guys are talking about
Speaker 7: a loss, and just like all right, anyway, oh yeah, that.
Speaker 10: Would not be good.
Speaker 8: I said this, those are good.
Speaker 6: I said this at some point. Uh it was yesterday.
Speaker 3: If if this would be a loss, this out of
Speaker 3: the sixty three preim postgame shows that we've ever done,
Speaker 3: it would be.
Speaker 6: The saddest post game show we've ever done.
Speaker 2: If it's a loss, easily the most disappointed.
Speaker 7: But the same note whenever we had the two two
Speaker 7: bet earlier this year, Joshua Dobbs close. I remember Kyle,
Speaker 7: he was like, it's probably a good thing you didn't
Speaker 7: run for seventy five yards because they just lost.
Speaker 8: A very embarrassing game.
Speaker 2: If we're gonna walk in on Monday.
Speaker 6: With two, was like, yeah, that's probably by the way,
Speaker 6: text it in you guys.
Speaker 9: I don't know where they can possibly send us something,
Speaker 9: but anyways, if y'all want to shoot us some names
Speaker 9: of some hot sauces.
Speaker 8: Orf y'all want to shoot us, actually send us some
Speaker 8: hot sauce. Now we should have next week.
Speaker 7: For this bit the bomb. Look, man, I'm going to
Speaker 7: hit this hot. We'll have it with tostitos.
Speaker 6: Yes, yes, there you go.
Speaker 8: Good job.
Speaker 3: Well the go man on the Plaza Talking Cowboys podcast
Speaker 3: text line eight one seven two nine zero three two
Speaker 3: nine eight give us a text.
Speaker 6: We already have one hot chip challenge.
Speaker 8: Let's go. Yeah, yeah, I would rather you sent that in. No,
Speaker 8: I did the hot chip challenge. Oh, I know, I
Speaker 8: only ate like half of it though. Yeah, I didn't
Speaker 8: do it.
Speaker 6: You were sweating.
Speaker 8: It wasn't too bad.
Speaker 6: Yeah, stop it all right.
Speaker 7: Honestly, have you seen the shaquilla and he'll do the
Speaker 7: hot chip challenge?
Speaker 2: Yes, that that face man mem Ray. Is there somewhere
Speaker 2: that could sit.
Speaker 8: I don't know. I don't want to start that. Let's go, yeah,
Speaker 8: I don't know.
Speaker 6: That might be too much going on there.
Speaker 7: We have a peel box.
Speaker 6: We actually have a mail room at the Star.
Speaker 7: Don't tell people that they're just gonna I mean, it's true.
Speaker 6: I'm not gonna give it out, but they do have it.
Speaker 2: It sounds like getting somebody in trouble. They're trying to
Speaker 2: send like the bomb Salsa.
Speaker 7: The email guys would always send the bomb Russia.
Speaker 3: That the Brandy Cook's conversation going back to that and
Speaker 3: initiated this whole thing.
Speaker 8: I liked what he had to say yesterday.
Speaker 6: He wasn't upset.
Speaker 3: We thought we we had the mindset of, Okay, if
Speaker 3: you're winning games, you're not catching passes, that's one thing.
Speaker 6: Nobody's gonna speak up as long as you're winning games.
Speaker 8: But after a loss like it was against.
Speaker 3: Philadelphia, I think both you and I looked at each
Speaker 3: other and we expected a guy in Brandon Cooks maybe
Speaker 3: not to speak up and speak out. Yes, but within
Speaker 3: the organization have a bit of discontent. It doesn't seem
Speaker 3: like there's any content there. Just from what we could see,
Speaker 3: he's very what we could see from a media standpoint.
Speaker 8: Yeah, he is very professional.
Speaker 9: I would be it would be very difficult for me
Speaker 9: to believe that he's unbothered by the fact that he's
Speaker 9: not getting the rock just exactly right.
Speaker 7: So, and it's not content, it's it's like, no, I
Speaker 7: want to be in want is.
Speaker 9: I want to have an impact. Of course, there's no competitor.
Speaker 9: I can use a reference to my daughter again and
Speaker 9: I told her. I was say, hey, listen, we're paying
Speaker 9: for select sports, like you know, like club sports. I'm like,
Speaker 9: if you're not having an impact on your team, then
Speaker 9: we don't need to You don't need to play on
Speaker 9: that team.
Speaker 8: We can go to innermural. If you're not going to
Speaker 8: have an impact, why are we paying for you to play? Right?
Speaker 9: So like, if you're not, if Brandon Cooks is not
Speaker 9: going to be in a position to have an impact,
Speaker 9: then why are you paying him so much money.
Speaker 8: To be here? Right, He's not a He's not a
Speaker 8: he's not a detail. He's not a freaking clear out guy.
Speaker 8: I mean, that's what I'll call it.
Speaker 9: I'll call him clear out Cooks, not because of his inabilities,
Speaker 9: but because of how they're utilizing them. Right, that's not
Speaker 9: a disrespect, that's not his He's very capable, he's winning.
Speaker 9: He already talked about how separation separation, and he's we
Speaker 9: know he's still the best route runner. Even though Cede
Speaker 9: Lamb's the best receiver on this team, he's the best
Speaker 9: route runner on this team.
Speaker 8: I would I would.
Speaker 3: Challenge that this year because I think Cede Lamb has
Speaker 3: been running some incredible I agree. I mean I would
Speaker 3: maybe challenge it this year going into it, I completely agree.
Speaker 8: I think Brandon Cooks is a Samurai when it comes
Speaker 8: to route running.
Speaker 6: I think Cede Lamb's there too.
Speaker 8: Now.
Speaker 7: I think I think, I think the Credit comp route
Speaker 7: running between CD and Brandon Cooks because I think they're
Speaker 7: night and day, and I think Brandon cook is a
Speaker 7: great route runner.
Speaker 2: But I think it's night in da CD.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I agree, I think.
Speaker 7: But I think the routes that they are both running.
Speaker 7: I think with Brandon Cooks, every time he catches the ball,
Speaker 7: he's bracing for, you know, to get knocked out over
Speaker 7: the middle.
Speaker 8: You know he did.
Speaker 7: He was asked yesterday, how can you not be frustrated?
Speaker 7: He said, Being around the game long enough, you get
Speaker 7: these moments when I say, I'm not frustrated. I'm a
Speaker 7: veteran and I want to help him contribute, no doubt,
Speaker 7: but getting frustrated, all that's going to do is affect
Speaker 7: your mental and go down a route that you don't
Speaker 7: want to go down route. Get it. And there's a
Speaker 7: lot of truth there, Bars, Bars, there's a lot of
Speaker 7: truth there.
Speaker 8: No there is, And he's just very mature.
Speaker 7: That's a veteran answer.
Speaker 8: Veteran mature.
Speaker 3: If you ask him that in New England back in
Speaker 3: twenty sixteen, I doubt he answers it the same way.
Speaker 8: I guess he was question, do you think he goes
Speaker 8: over one hundred or under? Tell about Brandon cooks this game.
Speaker 7: I would I mean, right on the dot would be great,
Speaker 7: but I'd say over. I'm gonna take the over.
Speaker 8: Right on the dot.
Speaker 6: You just want us all to have a hot so
Speaker 6: all the die. I would say under.
Speaker 8: But there's a chance he goes over. I think it's close.
Speaker 8: You can't walk the line, Kyle. No, I'm saying under
Speaker 8: that is the end.
Speaker 7: But can I say over ninety?
Speaker 8: Is that okay? All right?
Speaker 3: I'm saying I'm saying it's under for sure. But I
Speaker 3: think the opportunities will be there against this defense.
Speaker 6: There there will be opportunities.
Speaker 7: I'm with Kyle. Kyle's righting a lot of things. Call
Speaker 7: him Kyle a yostra damis.
Speaker 8: Hey, you know what I mean? Right down all these bars,
Speaker 8: I'm just gonna call this.
Speaker 6: This episode bars.
Speaker 7: Last note, I had tweeted this out yesterday morning just
Speaker 7: because I was I was fiddling around with PFF, and
Speaker 7: I know we take PFF grades with not necessarily a
Speaker 7: grain of salt, because I think there is stock that
Speaker 7: you can put into it.
Speaker 2: But also it's not the end. All be all, but
Speaker 2: I was I was looking through.
Speaker 7: The Cowboys have twelve players that are in the top
Speaker 7: ten of their respective position rankings on PFF through Week nine.
Speaker 7: It's the most in the NFL by a long shot.
Speaker 7: The Miami Dolphins are second with nine players.
Speaker 2: So here we go. I'm gonna run through.
Speaker 7: Them really quick. Tyler Smith is a third ranked guard,
Speaker 7: Hunter Lokey third ranked full back. How many ten? DeMarcus
Speaker 7: DeMarcus Lawrence is? It stops DeMarcus Lawrence. It got me accepted. Hey,
Speaker 7: don't worry about it. DeMarcus Lawrence is fourth out of
Speaker 7: edge rushers. Deron Bland is fifth out of corners, CD
Speaker 7: is fifth out of receivers. Also, digyz A this one
Speaker 7: surprised me. Was fifth out of all defensive tackles. Michael
Speaker 7: Parsons is sixth out of all edge rushers. Jake Ferguson
Speaker 7: is sixth out of all tight ends, Tyron Smith eighth
Speaker 7: out of all tackles, Dak Prescott ninth out of all quarterbacks,
Speaker 7: Zach Martin tenth out of all guards, and then Marquspell
Speaker 7: tenth out of all linebackers. The only positions that the
Speaker 7: Cowboys do not have a top ten graded player are running.
Speaker 2: Back, center, and safety. So I don't know, it's kind
Speaker 2: of it's kind of fun something I found yesterday.
Speaker 7: There's obviously a lot of guys that are playing really
Speaker 7: well on this team, and you would look at it
Speaker 7: on paper and see that it's, you know, probably one
Speaker 7: of the more complete teams in the NFL. But you
Speaker 7: look at it five and three, So what's the most
Speaker 7: surprising there for you? For me, it was also a
Speaker 7: Digizuoa being six out of all lity tackles. It's not
Speaker 7: necessarily that. I don't think he's not been playing well.
Speaker 7: I think he's been playing great, but six out of all,
Speaker 7: like I think there was I think it was eighty
Speaker 7: defensive tackle or it was one hundred and seven defensive tackles. Like,
Speaker 7: that's that's pretty that's that's up there, that's upper echelon.
Speaker 7: That's you know, sounds like you want to check, sounds
Speaker 7: like you want to check. That's that's that's maybe where
Speaker 7: we maybe take everybody though, that's maybe where he take
Speaker 7: the PFF with the grans Sault a little bit. I
Speaker 7: think he's more so like fifteen or twenty, you know,
Speaker 7: fifteen to twenty defense stack of like top top seven.
Speaker 7: That's that's why he has been doing a lot in
Speaker 7: the run game he had he started the season. He's
Speaker 7: really well.
Speaker 8: Yeah, he was very disruptive.
Speaker 7: Where's Dexter Lawrence on that list?
Speaker 2: First number one? In fact, we'll talk about the next
Speaker 2: segment for sure.
Speaker 7: Wow.
Speaker 8: That surprising, Yeah, it is surprising.
Speaker 2: It is surprising a little bit.
Speaker 8: From what I've seen on film. M Isaiah about that
Speaker 8: you tour yesterday showdown, I don't.
Speaker 9: I mean, I'm from what I seen, he's I was
Speaker 9: not impressive at least last few games, and I that
Speaker 9: I broke down didn't see much.
Speaker 6: I mean there's I like, there's a lot of help
Speaker 6: around the guy.
Speaker 7: I wait till this rush.
Speaker 8: He depends heavily on his just his size from lately.
Speaker 9: From what again, what I've seen, he's he wasn't disruptive,
Speaker 9: Like it wasn't somebody that I saw or that even
Speaker 9: remotely jumped off film.
Speaker 2: There's a I kind of dove into like what a
Speaker 2: PFF like what goes into a PFF grade? Last week?
Speaker 7: And so on every single play they grade negative two,
Speaker 7: negative one, one or two, and that's like they're great
Speaker 7: for the play. And then at the end of the game,
Speaker 7: they have like a conversion scale to convert it back
Speaker 7: to one hundred, and that's how they end up coming
Speaker 7: down to their conclusion.
Speaker 2: So maybe he just had a lot of two plays
Speaker 2: that didn't end up in tackles.
Speaker 8: For loss or sacks or whatever. It's all subjective they have.
Speaker 9: It is subjective former players that are that are given
Speaker 9: the ratings and there they don't know what the schemes are.
Speaker 8: They don't know what a says. It's all. That's why
Speaker 8: you have to take it with a grain of salt.
Speaker 7: Yeah, ne regard, but safe to say he is a guy,
Speaker 7: no doubt.
Speaker 9: He's just a better respect absolutely, But from what I've
Speaker 9: been seeing lately, you know, he has not been showing
Speaker 9: up on film.
Speaker 8: His technique has not been sound.
Speaker 9: Now, he very well may just decide that he wants
Speaker 9: to go back to old exter Lawrence, you know, on Sunday.
Speaker 9: But again, what I've seen recently not threatened.
Speaker 2: We're definitely gonna dive into this next time.
Speaker 8: Let's dive.
Speaker 6: All right, let's take our first break.

Speaker 6: jog in the cheetah Savannah.
Speaker 11: Todd believed the big cat repellent he bought online was reliable,
Speaker 11: and now Todd is trying to be faster than this
Speaker 11: cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour. But the
Speaker 11: good news is Todd has AT and T five G.
Speaker 11: It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he learned the
Speaker 11: best thing to do is stop running and toss her
Speaker 11: the backpack with the beef stew At and T five G. Fast, reliable, secure,
Speaker 11: It's not complicated.
Speaker 5: Five G requires compatible planning device. Five G may not

Speaker 8: To Talking Cowboys Back.
Speaker 3: You're on Talking Cowboys presented by Black Rifle Coffee Company.
Speaker 3: We are live from inside the SWBC studios at the
Speaker 3: Star in First Go. This segment is brought to you

Speaker 3: It doesn't sound hot enough, Okay, Well there's another suggestion,
Speaker 3: Young Guns. Traditional Jalapino salsa hot direct from the Hatch
Speaker 3: Valley in southern New Mexico. Not sure how widely available
Speaker 3: because it's outlawed in the d f W Metroplex that
Speaker 3: comes from Kenton, Lost Crusus.
Speaker 2: I will drive to Lost Crusus Kent and I will.
Speaker 8: Just see if Kent will meet you halfway.
Speaker 7: Yeah, trafficking hot sauce? Do what what's the sentence for
Speaker 7: trafficking hot?
Speaker 2: That's a great that's a great question.
Speaker 3: I made up the he'll go drive out there for
Speaker 3: you used to it is already on his way. Possibly, No,
Speaker 3: he's got a podcast here in a couple of hours.
Speaker 7: I want to see Nate do the challenge too, though.
Speaker 7: Oh no, no, that would be great.
Speaker 3: We do.
Speaker 6: There's a lot of the mental image of you, Nate.
Speaker 3: Send us your hottest hot sauce suggestions eight one seven,
Speaker 3: two nine zero three two nine eight.
Speaker 8: All right, Nick Harris, I'm about to have to shed
Speaker 8: the hoodie too.
Speaker 6: It's hot here here. Uh, Nick, what do you keep match?
Speaker 7: So we're gonna start off, we may as well start
Speaker 7: up with what we left off with on the last segment,
Speaker 7: Dexter Lawrence and I'm I'm he's gonna go up against
Speaker 7: all three of these interior offensive linemen on Sunday.
Speaker 12: Uh.
Speaker 7: They move him around quite a bit in that interior.
Speaker 7: But the one that I want to be looking at
Speaker 7: the most is Tyler Piottish because I obviously there's we
Speaker 7: talked about in the last segment as well, there's a
Speaker 7: little bit of laps at times with Tyler Biottish, especially
Speaker 7: going up against stronger, bigger defensive tackles. So if he
Speaker 7: can hold his own against Dexter Lawrence in this game,
Speaker 7: then you know, there's a really good opportunity that they
Speaker 7: get this running game going.
Speaker 2: I think that's the biggest catalyst towards it.
Speaker 7: But he's been dealing with injuries all season as well. Yeah,
Speaker 7: I mean he battled the hamstring earlier in the year,
Speaker 7: but you know he was on the injury part as well, right, yeah,
Speaker 7: but not this week. I don't believe he was last
Speaker 7: if he he popped up really late last week. But
Speaker 7: I it's if you're on the field, you're on the field,
Speaker 7: you know, And unfortunately that that's uh, that doesn't matter
Speaker 7: when contracts come around, you know.
Speaker 8: Boom, so sha la.
Speaker 6: What do you think?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 9: I'm hard on Tyler be Oddish simply because I think
Speaker 9: that he's undersized. I think he's a try hard guy.
Speaker 9: I think that he is in effective way, in a
Speaker 9: good way.
Speaker 8: I think he's.
Speaker 9: Effective but I don't I think in this division, in
Speaker 9: this division is difficult for him. I think this is
Speaker 9: a very difficult division for him to be a center
Speaker 9: first of all, and to be an undersized center. So
Speaker 9: when I say a tryhard guy, typically that's a negative,
Speaker 9: you know, term, or a negative connotation, but not with him.
Speaker 9: I just believe that when he is faced with one
Speaker 9: on one matchups that he is going to struggle with
Speaker 9: dominant defensive lineman, especially that have some good size on him.
Speaker 9: So typically a Dexter Lawrence would be one of the
Speaker 9: guys that I will put in that category of a dominant,
Speaker 9: large defensive lineman. But again, what he's put on film lately,
Speaker 9: and maybe he's just turned it off because they suck
Speaker 9: right now, but you know he's fully capable, obviously of
Speaker 9: turning it back on. Every player is, you know, at
Speaker 9: this at this level. But Tyler Beondis, I was more
Speaker 9: concerned about him last week than I was than I
Speaker 9: am this week. Obviously, because I mean Dexter Lawrence, Jordan Davis.
Speaker 9: You could look at those guys and easily say, well,
Speaker 9: the history states that Dexor Lawrence is a better player
Speaker 9: than Jordan Davis. Okay, I would agree with that, but
Speaker 9: I think that what Jordan Davis, his size and what
Speaker 9: they do defensively scheme wise, was more of an issue
Speaker 9: for me with Tyler Biada is going to get him
Speaker 9: then this week, which is just just a traditional four
Speaker 9: to three where he's got where Tyler Beriadis is going
Speaker 9: to have help Harley ever, will he just be isoed
Speaker 9: against Dexter Lawrence. He's gonna be able to have combo
Speaker 9: blocks either with Tyler Smith or Zach Martin, like he's
Speaker 9: gonna be perfectly fine. Dexa Lawrence is having bad pad
Speaker 9: levels right now, so they can get up underneath him.
Speaker 9: His footing is not he doesn't have a wide base.
Speaker 9: They can move him off the ball like there's there's
Speaker 9: room to have impact on him this week. And I'm
Speaker 9: not fearful this week about the matchup of Tyler be
Speaker 9: ODIs because he's not gonna be by.
Speaker 7: Himself and Dexter Lawrence has also been a little bit
Speaker 7: more free flowing since Leonard Williams has gone out of
Speaker 7: the buildings, so he's going to move all around. So
Speaker 7: if he does have a really bad rep, he'll get
Speaker 7: a couple couple reps off and then come right back.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Second matchup that I want to highlight this week is
Speaker 7: obviously any success that the Giants have on Sunday offensively
Speaker 7: is going to be in the running game. So I
Speaker 7: look at the best run defender on this defensive line,
Speaker 7: in my opinion, DeMarcus Lawrence going up against Evan Neil,
Speaker 7: and Evan Neil has just had a rough year at
Speaker 7: right tackle, and there's gonna be a really good opportunity
Speaker 7: for DeMarcus Lawrence to get into the backfield and not
Speaker 7: only stop the run, but also I want to see
Speaker 7: him have his best game of the year this weekend.
Speaker 2: And it's you know, you look at the stats and
Speaker 2: they you might be like, what, oh.
Speaker 6: DeMarcus Lawrence.
Speaker 7: He hadn't done anything this year, but he has been
Speaker 7: so disruptive in that backfield. He's been one of the
Speaker 7: better edge rushers in the NFC this season, and he's
Speaker 7: gotten a lot of praise in that area. I think
Speaker 7: there's a really good opportunity for him to get on
Speaker 7: the stat sheet this week, and I'm hoping that happens
Speaker 7: for him.
Speaker 3: If he continues to play. Let's say this is this
Speaker 3: is a long term deal. If he plays at the
Speaker 3: level that he's playing at here, which is a high
Speaker 3: expectation because, like you said, he's still the best run
Speaker 3: defender on the team.
Speaker 6: In my opinion, if he.
Speaker 3: Does this for two or three more years, is he
Speaker 3: starting to enter into the ring of honor? Possible conversation
Speaker 3: for DeMarcus Lawrence.
Speaker 7: I think it's hard to argue against it. But what
Speaker 7: he has against him is so many other great players.
Speaker 8: Yeah, and he's just been so production. Is there, the
Speaker 8: consistency is there.
Speaker 7: Exactly exactly that he's a star and he cleans up
Speaker 7: so much as far as a mess that we get
Speaker 7: on the defensive line, and being able to stop even
Speaker 7: though that's kind of been like our right, his identity
Speaker 7: is not being able to stop the run.
Speaker 3: He is the one that is there that is able
Speaker 3: to stop the run. Because right now he's not in
Speaker 3: that conversation, nor should he be. But two or three
Speaker 3: years down the road, if he continues to play consistently
Speaker 3: like he has been, and he's still around and he's
Speaker 3: still contributing at a high level, I think at least
Speaker 3: it would be a commersation.
Speaker 7: I guess the longevity has to be there.
Speaker 6: Yes, that's the number one he's in his.
Speaker 7: Tenth season, three Pro Bowls, zero All pros. I don't
Speaker 7: know how much sock you put into that when it
Speaker 7: comes to Ring of Honor, but I don't know.
Speaker 3: I do think he's an all time Cowboys great though,
Speaker 3: no doubt it's a Cowboys legend. Yeah yeah, yeah, totally,
Speaker 3: just maybe not Ring of Honor.
Speaker 8: Yeah, you gotta be Hall of Fame.
Speaker 3: And it's hard to because I mean it goes back
Speaker 3: to pressures and sacks and I mean he's the stats
Speaker 3: aren't going to line up for him, that guy. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but his stats are You guys think he's the best
Speaker 3: run defender on the team team, Yeah, I think so,
Speaker 3: better than Jonathan Hankins.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think so, you guys.
Speaker 6: Jonathan Hankins is a good player, but he's been playing
Speaker 6: really well.
Speaker 8: He is a run defender.
Speaker 2: But it's it's DeMarcus Lawrence by a mile for me.
Speaker 7: I mean, that's see how many times teams have tried
Speaker 7: to get outside and how DeMarcus Lawrence is disrupting that
Speaker 7: this season, Like it forces everything between the tackles and
Speaker 7: then you run into Jonathan Hankins, like it's it starts
Speaker 7: with Lawrence and if it gets to that second level,
Speaker 7: Marky's bell I would get, he's awesome in the run game. Sorry,
Speaker 7: what do you see? That makes the case more so
Speaker 7: for Jonathan Hankins over DeMarcus Lawrence.
Speaker 9: I think because Jonathan Hankins is so disruptive on the interior,
Speaker 9: I think, guys are they're trying to run outside. Yeah
Speaker 9: you know what I'm saying, Like they're trying to get
Speaker 9: away from Hankins. And Osio Digazua is having a big
Speaker 9: impact in there as well, right, So that's his that's
Speaker 9: his right or die partner right now on the interior.
Speaker 9: So I think because of their influence on the inside,
Speaker 9: guys they're the only place they can go is try
Speaker 9: to go outside, and that's when they're running into d laws.
Speaker 9: So it's a collective effort. But I think if I
Speaker 9: was building a defense to stop the run, I think
Speaker 9: the first person on that roster I have to put
Speaker 9: Jonathan Hankins.
Speaker 3: It will That's just from a scheme standpoint. I mean
Speaker 3: that's because he I fits that role well. If you
Speaker 3: were to ask me which part of the run defense
Speaker 3: has seen the biggest improvement this year, I would say
Speaker 3: the defensive tackles.
Speaker 8: It would be Osa, it would be Jonathan.
Speaker 3: Hankins, Nevill Gallamore times throughout the year. Those guys are
Speaker 3: the ones that have made the difference. But if you're
Speaker 3: talking individual effort and ability from stopping the run, I
Speaker 3: would have to give it to DeMarcus Lawrence.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I wouldn't do it. I mean I don't.
Speaker 9: I mean, I respect you guys depinions on that, but
Speaker 9: I couldn't. I can't say that because the issue that
Speaker 9: this team has had in terms of rush defense over
Speaker 9: the past few years is the offensive lineman having the
Speaker 9: ability to work up to the next level and get
Speaker 9: to the linebackers, and that's how they they.
Speaker 8: Were running away from DeMarcus Lawrence.
Speaker 7: It was the But I do think he's improved with
Speaker 7: his run defense.
Speaker 9: Don't get me wrong. My stance on this is not
Speaker 9: saying that the Laws is not impact for nor is
Speaker 9: he a beast. But I just think Hankins has more
Speaker 9: of an impact on this team in terms of stopping
Speaker 9: the run.
Speaker 3: That's all I'm I don't know if I disagree with
Speaker 3: you there, But the conversation is who's the better run
Speaker 3: defender Jonathan Hankins and DeMarcus Lawrence and to some extent.
Speaker 6: That's orange.
Speaker 9: That's absolute's two different positions, two different positions.
Speaker 8: Yeah, absolutely completely.
Speaker 7: Who's a better ball carrier.
Speaker 9: But I think one of the reasons, one of the
Speaker 9: reasons why you're seeing why you're seeing the you know,
Speaker 9: a scent of a Marquise Bell is because of guys
Speaker 9: like Jonathan Hankins. These enters and guards can't get up
Speaker 9: to the next level, so you got guys at the
Speaker 9: second level.
Speaker 8: I can fly around.
Speaker 2: I see your case, you know what I mean.
Speaker 9: So like, that's that's all I'm getting at. That's all
Speaker 9: I'm getting. But both of them are being very impactful.
Speaker 9: They this collectively, this defense has shut down almost every
Speaker 9: run rushing offense that they faced.
Speaker 8: I mean, I'm hoping that that continues, you know.
Speaker 9: I obviously I was a big advocate of them adding
Speaker 9: another piece right next to Jonathan Hankins, even though Osa
Speaker 9: dige Zua is still doing his thing. I would have
Speaker 9: loved to see them have a backup plan to what
Speaker 9: if Jonathan Hankins can't be there.
Speaker 6: Based off of what you just said, I know you're
Speaker 6: not a stats guy, but this stat backs you up.
Speaker 3: Only eleven defenses have not allowed a one hundred yard
Speaker 3: rusher this season, only nine defenses have not allowed a
Speaker 3: three hundred yard passer and only two have not allowed
Speaker 3: a two to one hundred yard receiver. The Dallas Cowboys
Speaker 3: defense are the only team in the NFL that has
Speaker 3: not allowed.
Speaker 8: Any of those three statistics this year.
Speaker 3: They have not allowed a one hundred yard rusher, nor
Speaker 3: a three hundred yard passer, and not a single one
Speaker 3: hundred yard receiver this year.
Speaker 8: That's pretty impressive. That's awesome.
Speaker 6: That's impressive.
Speaker 8: That means your.
Speaker 7: Defense is still doing its jobs. Come to town.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, Oh man, what if Jalen Hyat just goes
Speaker 6: off for.
Speaker 7: One hundred Part of me would love that, and part
Speaker 7: of me would hate that because I was such a
Speaker 7: Jalen Hyatt truther going into the dress yead. But de
Speaker 7: Vito almost had they put it up there for him.
Speaker 3: I almost had the Rose Clarence yesterday. I didn't get
Speaker 3: a chance because there's too much talking going on.
Speaker 7: But the he was like, he was like the wide
Speaker 7: receivers coach over there.
Speaker 3: Didn't didn't like Jalen Hyatt in the draft process. I
Speaker 3: was like, and he'd probably look him on this team
Speaker 3: right there. Yeah, yeah, probably like him in the wide
Speaker 3: receiving right now, but.
Speaker 7: Really quick, I just looked up Cowboys all time sack leaders.
Speaker 7: DeMarcus Lawrence is sixth, and he's only two and a
Speaker 7: half away from being fourth. But he's not even halfway
Speaker 7: to de Marcus Ware and uh, Michael Parsons is eighth.
Speaker 7: He's already creeping. But last matchup that will highlight this
Speaker 7: week is we've talked about Brandon Cooks nauseum this week.
Speaker 7: I think there's a really good opportunity obviously for him
Speaker 7: to take advantage of a young secondary. So Brandon Cooks
Speaker 7: versus whoever matches up with him, and it's either gonna
Speaker 7: be Deontay Banks or Dori Jackson from Rep to rep.
Speaker 7: He'll see both of those guys at times. But yeah,
Speaker 7: that's a that's a really good opportunity for Brandon Cooks
Speaker 7: this week. I think if he can get going, if
Speaker 7: he can push forward for a one hundred yard game,
Speaker 7: I really hope that I am eating that ship next week.
Speaker 8: The sauce.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he's gonna give him the sauce.
Speaker 6: We got some other one. We've got some other text
Speaker 6: lines in from that too.
Speaker 3: By the way, Nate from Frisco says ninety five is
Speaker 3: better point blank if he affects what happens at your
Speaker 3: linebacker position. So there's there's one vote. I don't know
Speaker 3: how much vote that one. Possibly, I don't know how
Speaker 3: much that one really come on. I mean, he only
Speaker 3: won six Pro Bowl honoures and Nate from Frisco, Nate
Speaker 3: Newton from Frisco. It's definitely pure evil, pure evil. Thirteen
Speaker 3: million is a is a suggestion. That's that's for the
Speaker 3: hot sauce.
Speaker 7: Arguably it sounds pretty hot.
Speaker 8: Flame flame Thrower Candy.
Speaker 6: It's hard to say it's got twist.
Speaker 3: No God Night, Flame Thrower Candy Company, three pack of
Speaker 3: Lil Nitro, the world's hottest gummy bear.
Speaker 6: You know I'm not doing He's not doing a gummy bear.
Speaker 8: That sounds terrible.
Speaker 7: Really, Yeah, you would eat they got jelas those hot sauces,
Speaker 7: but you wouldn't eat a hot gummy bear.
Speaker 3: There, that's different. All right, let's take our second break.

Speaker 7: really love what they've put together, even outside of Josh Dobbs.
Speaker 7: And then when you add a presence like Josh Jobs
Speaker 7: into that locker room and the way that they have, Yeah,
Speaker 7: I think they're I think they're going to make a
Speaker 7: playoff run this year, or make it the playoffs, not
Speaker 7: a playoff run, make it to the playoffs.
Speaker 2: But I'm gonna take the Vikings.
Speaker 8: Okay, Josh, what do you think?

Speaker 7: the Titans there on the road to go to into Tampa.
Speaker 13: Josh, we're gonna go with the Buccaneers a year.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Buccaneers all right, the Jets at the Raiders.
Speaker 3: Why because they're both? Why possibly? I'm trying to pick
Speaker 3: the most even games.
Speaker 2: You're fine, It was more so me like, why.
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 6: This is also? Oh man, this is Sunday night football.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 7: This was supposed to be like Aaron Rodgers and Davante
Speaker 7: Adams like Reunion Tour game.
Speaker 6: But Aaron Rodgers still my play.
Speaker 2: Who knows he might be back in like two weeks.
Speaker 6: Uh, Nick will start with you.
Speaker 7: I'll take.
Speaker 10: Gosh.
Speaker 7: I don't really know what to think of the Raiders
Speaker 7: right now, especially after just getting blown out by the
Speaker 7: Bears and then meeting the Giants like they did last week.
Speaker 7: So I'm gonna take the Jets just because I think
Speaker 7: their defense will be able to hold Firmer.
Speaker 8: Jets at Raiders.
Speaker 6: I do think the Jets defense is better, but I'll.
Speaker 8: Take the Raiders at home to get it done, Isaiah.
Speaker 8: Slot machines, slot machines.
Speaker 7: Slot machines, No break out the Cigars. It's it's gonna
Speaker 7: be the Raiders.
Speaker 8: Yeah, Josh, what do you think?
Speaker 10: Yeah?
Speaker 3: The Jets, jipick good pick all right. Giants at Cowboys
Speaker 3: three twenty five in the afternoon on Sunday, Isaiah standback
Speaker 3: will be out on the Plaza TV Central for Cowboys
Speaker 3: pregame live. Ruh, We've got a big time matchup, maybe
Speaker 3: not in terms of a game a great game, but
Speaker 3: still one where, of course you can learn a lot
Speaker 3: about this Cowboys team.
Speaker 8: Josh, what you think about it?
Speaker 13: We're gonna go with our Cowboys. We're gonna go thirty
Speaker 13: five to three.
Speaker 6: Ooh, I like it thirty five three.

Speaker 6: See you later.
Speaker 3: Josh in North Carolina representing the fans. We'll let Josh
Speaker 3: and Frisco, Texas let's go.
Speaker 7: We're gonna go with Cowboys. Obviously. I don't think there's
Speaker 7: any there's no way we lose this game.
Speaker 8: Right, no, right, no, say one time you said that
Speaker 8: was against Arizona.
Speaker 7: Go ahead, Arizona. Arizona is always a weird game.
Speaker 8: It's always a weird and the rivalry games aren't.
Speaker 7: Not for the Giants, not of the past. I don't
Speaker 7: know five years against the Giants.
Speaker 8: Eleven or twelve of thirteen?
Speaker 7: Right, Uh, let me go Cowboys, thirty eight to six.
Speaker 7: He hits six, thirty eight to six, Go Isaiah, next, Isaiah.
Speaker 8: I'm going with Brandon Cooks for one hundred and twenty
Speaker 8: seven yards.
Speaker 3: Wow. If he hits one twenty seven, two touchdowns and
Speaker 3: two touchdowns, Nick's got to do twice as much.
Speaker 8: A hot sauce. Never said that. Both in the first
Speaker 8: shook on It. We also both in the first half.
Speaker 9: Yeah, so the first half, first twenty seven yards first,
Speaker 9: Brandon Cooks, Awesome, what happened?
Speaker 6: Let's go forty to seventeen, forty two seventeen.
Speaker 3: Man, you think Tommy DeVito gets seventeen points on this
Speaker 3: Cowboys defense.
Speaker 2: Look the way I see this, I think this is
Speaker 2: a trap game coming off of the Eagles.
Speaker 8: Got the lead course of this thing, and you're going
Speaker 8: that crazy.
Speaker 7: I the running game is obviously going to be leaned
Speaker 7: on pretty heavily with sakuon Barkley, and the last time that,
Speaker 7: you know, I kind of felt this way was going
Speaker 7: into the Cardinals game. So guys, I'm.
Speaker 2: Gonna have to take the Cowboy.
Speaker 8: It was not out so fast.
Speaker 2: It was like forty one thirteen. We'll call it that.
Speaker 6: Forty one thirteen. I'll say Dallas forty two Giants nothing.
Speaker 6: I don't think they score.
Speaker 7: Could you imagine eighty two eighty two nothing over the
Speaker 7: course of two games.
Speaker 2: That'd be nuts.
Speaker 6: I don't know if that's actually gonna happen. I'll say
Speaker 6: it's my pick. I just don't think this Giants team's
Speaker 6: very good. I think the Cowboys should destroy them. And
Speaker 6: it's done.
Speaker 3: Moving on, going in the next week and getting ready
Speaker 3: for the Carolina Panthers, who had a rough game on
Speaker 3: Thursday Night Football, but they have a long week, so

Speaker 8: We've got pod picks.
Speaker 6: Who is the first one? Beam it's the first one
Speaker 6: to get a sack?
Speaker 3: Correct, first player to get a sack, first player on
Speaker 3: either team to get a sack, first player.
Speaker 7: DeMarcus Lawrence then do all yeah, i'mna ride my analysis
Speaker 7: in the second second segment. All right, Micah, I just
Speaker 7: got to steal that.

Speaker 3: you lost Isaiah that one?
Speaker 8: Why not? Why not?
Speaker 6: Did anybody have Kenneth Gainwell scoring the first touchdown last week?
