20
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:04,000

00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,320
Speaker 8: all picked Dallas, but man, I don't think anybody expected

22
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,680
Speaker 8: to see what we saw last night. That was a domination.

23
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 8: From the beginning of the game. Dallas looked really, really

24
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 8: good last night. We'll break that down for you guys

25
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 8: throughout the course of this show. We'll start what we

26
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 8: start on every Monday with the storyline. What's the big

27
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 8: picture storyline coming out of this game today. I want

28
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 8: to start with Amber. Let's go with you first, big

29
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 8: picture storyline.

30
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 9: Come on, well, big picture, we found out that the

31
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,559
Speaker 9: Eagles are actually not a good football team.

32
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 3: How are you gonna go there?

33
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 10: I don't know that.

34
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 3: I don't believe that.

35
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 9: I said, no, I don't either. I don't believe that either,

36
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 9: But that's what I see all over twel Yeah, so shut.

37
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 3: It, post, move post.

38
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 9: Oh my god, it's ridiculous. It's insane. Some of the

39
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 9: takes that I've been reading since last night are seeing

40
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 9: on Twitter and other media outlets out there that like

41
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 9: they just will not give it to the Cowboys. They're

42
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 9: just like coming up with different reasons. Let's just see

43
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 9: what kind of insane reason can we come up with

44
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 9: this time to change the narrative and make it look

45
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,839
Speaker 9: again and sound like the Cowboys are not a good

46
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 9: damn but they are.

47
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 2: They are.

48
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 9: Sorry, fly birds? What is a fly Eagles flag?

49
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 2: Over?

50
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 5: Man?

51
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 2: Real quick?

52
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 9: You know? For my birthday, I went to six Flags

53
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 9: and out there a bunch of Eagle fans and just

54
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 9: out of know where people just adults, grown adults riding rides. Godbird,

55
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 9: I'm like shut up like that.

56
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 3: Talk to you.

57
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 2: What are you doing?

58
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 9: Like, just enjoy the freaking park. They're so obnoxious.

59
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:43,959
Speaker 11: Oh my god, but I'm.

60
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 9: Why you enjoyed Arlington Texas too much.

61
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 8: Yeah.

62
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 9: But anyways, the storyline for me, I mean, what an

63
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:59,119
Speaker 9: amazing job McCarthy has done with this team and everything

64
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 9: that he's done and implemented with all the changes. I know,

65
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 9: we were very questionable of what he was doing the

66
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 9: first few weeks of the season, and rightfully so, because

67
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 9: everything that we were seeing wasn't necessarily great. You know,

68
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 9: we were there were concerns there, and to be fair,

69
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 9: he was able to change everything very quickly with the

70
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 9: new system that he implemented, and it seems to be

71
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 9: exactly fitted for what Dak Prescott is as a quarterback.

72
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 9: It fits him perfectly. And they just keep exceeding my

73
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 9: personal expectations and playing better and better each week. After

74
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 9: the loss, the tough loss against the forty nine ers,

75
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 9: so I think, to me, we saw a complete football

76
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 9: team in all three facets of the game from start

77
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 9: to finish. I was concerned heading into the second half

78
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 9: when Dak had that fumble. I was concerned that I'm like, Okay,

79
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 9: let me buckle up, buncle up that seat belvet, because

80
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 9: it's about to get bumpy here. Because we've seeing the

81
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 9: Eagles come back in the second half of many, many

82
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 9: other games, so that wasn't out of the question yet.

83
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 9: And the Cowboys handled the situation perfectly, and they just

84
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 9: played a beautiful competitive game all from beginning to end.

85
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 2: Produst, It's going to really come down to two things

86
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 2: for me in this game.

87
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 12: How well were you going to be able to help

88
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 12: your right tackle in the game and how well was

89
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 12: he going to play? Were you going to let Hassan

90
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,359
Speaker 12: Reddick be a factor in this game like he was

91
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 12: the first time round or whoever played as the left

92
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 12: edge for the Eagles. Those were the worries for me.

93
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 12: And the second worry was how well were you able

94
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 12: to hold up in the secondary when you needed to?

95
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 12: And you know, they're really on both accounts. I felt

96
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 12: like it was outstanding. When you watch the film, you'll

97
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 12: see you know, still did a really nice job. The

98
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 12: single blocks he had to deal with. They helped him

99
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 12: with the double teams with Pollard, they chipped with Ferguson,

100
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 12: they spaced him with Ferguson out there. So everything that

101
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 12: we kind of talked about in the game leading up

102
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 12: to like how would you try and handle how would

103
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 12: you handle dealing with Reddick? And I was really impressed

104
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 12: because they sometimes when coaches will be really stubborn and

105
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 12: they won't have a plan for that, they'll say, Okay, no,

106
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 12: we're good enough. But they realized that there were some

107
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:18,919
Speaker 12: issues there at the right tackle the last time that

108
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 12: these two teams played, and give gives still a lot

109
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 12: of credit the single blocks he had. He did a

110
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 12: really nice job, but his teammates helped him well. In

111
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,359
Speaker 12: the secondary though, you needed to find a way to

112
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 12: handle these receivers. It came down to, well you can

113
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 12: be able to travel guys. You know a lot of

114
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:41,039
Speaker 12: teams don't like to travel guys. Well, they took they

115
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 12: took your your your.

116
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 2: Corners, and they moved him around a little bit. You know.

117
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 2: Gilmour was able to go uh you know and handle

118
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 2: Brown when they needed to him.

119
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,239
Speaker 12: The turnovers that they created, we talked about how well

120
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 12: that the uh that the safeties needed to play in

121
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,679
Speaker 12: this game, and to a man, they did a great job.

122
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 12: The turnovers, the fumbles, all those things were led to

123
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 12: a victory. So things that they needed to work on

124
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 12: to get a victory. They were able to take advantage of.

125
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 6: Those first and foremost.

126
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 5: I want every opposing receiver to call Stefan Gilmore old

127
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 5: from now on. I just need you to do that

128
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 5: so you can learn the lesson that AJ Brown learned

129
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 5: on yesterday. Gilmore was outstanding, and so was Bland when

130
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 5: he was targeted, and going to Bland kind of brings

131
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 5: me back to a central point that I spoke about

132
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 5: going into the game, which was, you have to tackle

133
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 5: against this Eagles offense. You have to tackle, tackle, tackle,

134
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 5: because a large part of their offensive production in the

135
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,599
Speaker 5: air comes from yards after the catch.

136
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 6: Well, the Cowboys did exactly exactly that.

137
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,840
Speaker 5: They were exceptional in deleting potential yak once the ball

138
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 5: was caught. Talk about Bland and how he takes down

139
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 5: Dallas Goddard on the left flat. Talk about Gilmore and

140
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 5: what he was able to do on two consecutive plays,

141
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 5: critical plays late in the game as the Eagles were

142
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 5: really gasping for some air there. And then on the

143
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 5: one particular play which was kind of a microcosm of

144
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 5: the game when the Eagles were able to get some yak.

145
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 5: Talk about that Devonte Smith playing the fourth quarter, what

146
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 5: happens come from behind force fumble, So even when they

147
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 5: were able to get some yack, they paid for that.

148
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 5: So Cowboys defense stepped up, and we talked about them

149
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 5: giving up that many points to the Seahawks, but we

150
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 5: were saying, well, three games in eleven days, and then

151
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,239
Speaker 5: you look at the offense they were going up against,

152
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 5: maybe they were tired coming off of a manybody.

153
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 6: They proved that that was actually the.

154
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 5: Point you come in and you shut down Jalen Hurts

155
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 5: in that offense. You don't allow them a single touchdown

156
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 5: throughout four quarters of football. And this was supposed to

157
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 5: be a front runner for MVP. You asked about Nick

158
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 5: Bosa last week and what Nick Bosa said. The blueprint

159
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 5: was out there, and I said the Cowboys had the

160
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 5: blueprint and the personnel to execute the blueprint.

161
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 6: So there you go.

162
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 5: Dak Prescott now has to be the not a the

163
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 5: front runner for MVP based on what he was able

164
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 5: to do.

165
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 6: As well.

166
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 5: Mike McCarthy, he's out there calling a great game with

167
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 5: suitors in his stomach. So I mean, just it's a

168
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 5: statement when it destroys all narratives and I'm with you.

169
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 5: I love what you said on Twitter last night. We're

170
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 5: not I'm not accepting any goal posts moving. There's no Oh, well,

171
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 5: they didn't beat a good team. Why is it that

172
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 5: you're saying this team is not good? Is it because

173
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 5: they got beat up? Well maybe that's because the team

174
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 5: that beat them up is just a better team. So

175
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 5: it's time to change that narrative to that.

176
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 6: Yeah.

177
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 8: In fact of the matter is like when you look

178
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 8: at at this is this is typical of the NFL

179
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 8: every there. There are lots of teams out there. There

180
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 8: are a few really good teams. There's not a team

181
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 8: most of the time that doesn't have at least a

182
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 8: portion of their season where they hit some adversity. This

183
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 8: is the nature of it, right. But you don't get

184
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,319
Speaker 8: to ten and three without being a good team. So

185
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 8: don't move the goalpost now. Now, Philly is a good team.

186
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 8: They got beat by a better team last night. And

187
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:48,680
Speaker 8: that's what Mike I said after the game. He was like,

188
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 8: we were a better team tonight. And by the way,

189
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 8: you run this thing back in Philadelphia in two weeks,

190
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 8: who knows what it might be. Last night, Dallas was

191
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 8: clearly the better team. So there is no moving the

192
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 8: goal post. Philadelphia is a good team. Dallas just played

193
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 8: a phenomenal game. They had a great game plan and

194
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 8: they executed really well, no doubt. Let's talk about Dak

195
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 8: Prescott last night. He was twenty four to thirty nine,

196
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 8: sixty two percent completions, two hundred and seventy one yards,

197
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 8: two touchdowns, no interceptions. He did have the one fumble,

198
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 8: which was a turn for a touchdown, the only touchdown

199
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 8: of the night for the Philadelphia Equals. And by the way,

200
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 8: when you mentioned that about them not scoring a touchdown,

201
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 8: it had been since twenty seventeen. That was the last

202
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 8: time to them that Philadelphia and Dallas did to them.

203
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 8: Then that Philadelphia didn't score an offensive touchdown in a game,

204
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 8: that's a long streak. That's a very long streak. But

205
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 8: Dallas shut it down last night. Deck did also have

206
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 8: a ninety nine point four quarterback rating.

207
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 3: How do you assess this play overall?

208
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 12: I think the only mistake he made and he admitted

209
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 12: it on the he got a little sloppy on the

210
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 12: fumble and they're going to take a deep shot. Cooks

211
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 12: his wide open and ch it's a touchdown and he.

212
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 2: Tries to go back to it late and he drifted in.

213
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 12: Now, Martin didn't exactly have you Cox lockdown, I mean,

214
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 12: but Dak drifted into into Cocks, which made it difficult.

215
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 2: That's why you get the sack.

216
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 12: And as he's trying to unload the ball or trying

217
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 12: to set it up to launch it, that's where all

218
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 12: of a sudden, when he gets hit, it's on the ground.

219
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 12: So really the only mistake he talks about him not

220
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 12: playing perfect, there were a couple of throws he'd probably

221
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,959
Speaker 12: like to have back with some guys that were open.

222
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 12: There were you know, some missed some early in the game.

223
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 12: I thought he threw the ball a little high. But

224
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:30,199
Speaker 12: many dial things back in. The things that he's really

225
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 12: really getting so much better at is seeing an understanding

226
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 12: pre snap though where he needs to go with the football.

227
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 12: That throw he the throw he makes uh you know,

228
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 12: to ferguson the one that goes.

229
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 2: Up up the hash. I mean, he realizes that he's going.

230
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,559
Speaker 12: To get a drop linebacker there, and it's going to

231
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,319
Speaker 12: be and you know, when you when you get a

232
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 12: drop linebacker that's not used to playing coverage, was really

233
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 12: a defensive end that's playing as a linebacker that's dropping

234
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 12: the coverage. He saw exactly what was going to happen there,

235
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 12: and he says, well, you're going to match that guy

236
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 12: up with that guy, Well, I'm gonna take a shot

237
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 12: up the middle of the field. And that's exactly what

238
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 12: he did. So his ability to read and understand what's

239
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 12: ahead of him has improved so much. And the coaches

240
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 12: are doing a great job with these combination routes of

241
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 12: allowing routes to be run off other routes and it's

242
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 12: given him some really, really good throws and he's taking

243
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 12: advantage of that too.

244
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,439
Speaker 5: Yeah, dek Is, he's seeing the field like I mean,

245
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 5: he's Bruce Lee right now. As far as being able

246
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 5: to read defenses, reading zone, reading man handling blitz packages, he's.

247
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 6: Just getting it all done. Now. Was it a perfect

248
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 6: game for him, Not at all.

249
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 5: We've seen more explosive production from Dak Prescott and took

250
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 5: to Brian's point, in the first quarter, he was a

251
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 5: bit uneven. There were some dots mixed with some high throws.

252
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 5: That throw that was high to gallop. It was catchable,

253
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 5: but it was high. But then the high throwing Ferguson

254
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 5: across the middle that was not catchable, but he settled

255
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:52,199
Speaker 5: down and he settled.

256
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 6: In really, really nicely.

257
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 5: And then when you look at what he did with

258
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 5: his legs as far as keeping them off balance, they

259
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 5: were two big gainers on the ground with his legs.

260
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 5: They were both delete it by penalties. So the Cowboys

261
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 5: didn't get that production. But what it did do was

262
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 5: keep that defense honest and say, hey, you know what,

263
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 5: if not for that penalty, that would have been a

264
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 5: big play. So it keeps it in their mind and

265
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 5: they have to stay true and defend that as well.

266
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 5: So going throughout the rest of the game they had to.

267
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 5: And that, you know, accounting for that helped make the

268
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 5: secondary that was already questionable for the Eagles that much

269
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 5: more so over the course of the game. So he

270
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 5: did it on the ground even when it didn't count

271
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 5: because of penalties.

272
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:27,559
Speaker 6: He did it in the air.

273
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 5: He didn't make many mistakes, only one mistake and he

274
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 5: owned up to that one. You got to, you know,

275
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 5: figure out how to get that ball out Quicker. That's

276
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 5: a deep throw to Cooks. But then there were you know,

277
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 5: a couple of mistakes by the receivers, like the deep

278
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 5: left in coverage that's an absolute dot to see thee

279
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 5: lamb hits them in the hands with the guy draped

280
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 5: over him. That ball got in there one of the

281
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 5: Lamb's drops. He wants to have that back. But then

282
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,439
Speaker 5: you see, you know, Cooks come up with that play

283
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 5: Blitz that takes the hit, delivers it. Cooks thirty yards,

284
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 5: gets it down to the one yard line. How boys

285
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,079
Speaker 5: punched that in So it wasn't perfect for Deck, but

286
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 5: by all means, it was still an MVP caliber performance,

287
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 5: especially when you look at who they were going up against.

288
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 12: If he, by the way, if he wins the MVP award,

289
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 12: the play they need to show everybody for when he

290
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:15,559
Speaker 12: accepts the award is the throw that he made to Ferguson.

291
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 2: That was kind of a miracle catch when he's.

292
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 12: Got Buyer just unblocked and I don't know how he

293
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 12: got the ball over the top.

294
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 2: I don't know how he got the top the ball

295
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 2: over the top.

296
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 12: Of him and then get it to Ferguson enough to

297
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 12: allow Ferguson to even have a chance because Sidney Brown

298
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 12: was in great coverage, and I you know, for that,

299
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 12: that's that if you go back and we look at metrics,

300
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 12: probably the most difficult throw that they're going to say

301
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 12: that he made that game would be that one an

302
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 12: n being a thirty two yard catch, And it just

303
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 12: goes to show you the relationship that he and Ferguson have.

304
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 12: He has that much trust in Ferguson that like, when

305
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 12: he's facing a blitzing safety that is not accounted for,

306
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 12: you know, it's like, Okay, I'm gonna throw the ball.

307
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 12: That ball could have very easily been tipped knocked up

308
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 12: in the air. Heck, Sidney Brown could have knocked it

309
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 12: up in the air, but it was put in a

310
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 12: really perfect spot, a difficult spot, and Ferguson came up

311
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 12: with a huge, huge play.

312
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 6: Yep.

313
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 9: Yeah, not a perfect game, but expecting a perfect game

314
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 9: every time it's a very unrealistic expectation to set on

315
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 9: a quarterback. I think he's still checking all all boxes.

316
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,479
Speaker 9: He's checking out all every single box, and it's impressive

317
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 9: and very cool to see. From the start of his career,

318
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 9: his whole development and everything that we've kind of had

319
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 9: to sit here and watch and talk about and discuss,

320
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 9: you know, earlier on was him having to relied on

321
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 9: those short passes. You never saw deep throw passes down

322
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 9: the field, or him having to sit in the pocket

323
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 9: second guess, you know, or trying to figure out what

324
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 9: am I gonna do? Where am I gonna throw? And

325
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 9: now none of that, like everything has changed. He's throwing

326
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 9: that all so beautiful and so perfect all the way

327
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 9: down the field. It happens so often now to where

328
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 9: he's constantly connecting with the receivers and it's so in sync.

329
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 9: It happens so quickly, so you're you're getting a Dak

330
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 9: Presca that's mentally like you were saying, Patrick, he can

331
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 9: read everything so quickly now and get rid of that

332
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 9: ball so quickly, and it's just like everything in his mind, body,

333
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 9: everything is just in perfect time in.

334
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 2: For him right now.

335
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 5: It's like Neo looking at the matrix. He's just seeing

336
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 5: it's like ones and zeros for him.

337
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 6: Right now.

338
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 5: The game has slowed down so much for Dak Prescott.

339
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 5: And you see it and last night and you can

340
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 5: ask Nick Harris this because I kept saying I didn't

341
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 5: realize I did until Harris pointed it out. But over

342
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 5: the course of the game, you could almost tell when

343
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 5: the when the timer went off in Deck's head in

344
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 5: the pocket because at a certain point, it'd be like

345
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 5: one point seventy five seconds, and you can tell he

346
00:15:59,920 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 5: was about to go. He was not looking to stand

347
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 5: in that pocket, not a moment longer than he needed to.

348
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 5: He was looking to get out, extend plays and things

349
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 5: like that and apply that extra pressure to the secondary

350
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 5: and that passwords. So I mean, like you said, he's

351
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 5: just seeing it in slow motion and he is only

352
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 5: going to continue to get better.

353
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 6: He's he's so comfortable with.

354
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 5: Mike McCarthy's play callers, so comfortable with his weapons. Like

355
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 5: that throw to Jake Ferguson making that throw.

356
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 6: Who does that?

357
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 5: I wouldn't have pulled that trigger he did, but that

358
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 5: the amount of trust required to pull that trigger and

359
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 5: then for Jake to reward him with a catch like that,

360
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 5: and then yards after the catch like that.

361
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 6: This offense is as special as the defense can be.

362
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 3: Let's take our first break.

363
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 8: When we come back, we'll talk a little bit about

364
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 8: the rushing game and the offensive line and how they performed.

365
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 8: We'll get to the defense a little bit here in

366
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 8: the second and third segments. Well, we're back, Dallas Cowboys

Speaker 8: dot Com Radio.

368
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 13: Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the

369
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 13: Cheatah Savanza, Todd believed the big Cat repellent he bought

370
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 13: online was reliable. And now Todd is trying to be

371
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 13: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.

372
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 13: But the good news is Todd has AT and T

373
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 13: five G. It is fast, reliable and secure, and he

374
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 13: learned the best thing to do is stop running and

375
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 13: toss her the backpack with the beef stew At and

376
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 13: T five G. Fast, reliable, secure, It's not complicated.

377

424
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 8: It is the second segment of The Break, live from

425
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 8: the SWBC Mortgage Studios. At the start the segment brought

426
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 8: to you by blockchain dot com. Let's talk about the

427
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 8: running game. Yesterday, Tony Pollitt was sixteen for fifty nine

428
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 8: yards three point seven average. Ric o'dowdell was also twelve

429
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 8: carries for forty six yards or three point eight average,

430
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:34,200
Speaker 8: with a touchdown. Perhaps you asked in the Break, You're

431
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,640
Speaker 8: asking if I noticed or if we noticed that there

432
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 8: was more It seemed like there was a little bit

433
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 8: more usage of dawdall.

434
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 3: I don't really see that.

435
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 8: Again, I was saying, I really feel like the second

436
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 8: half of this year, it's been pretty much to me

437
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 8: a running back by committee. I'm not surprised at any

438
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 8: moment to see one running back in or the other

439
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,160
Speaker 8: like it just it seems like they're interchangeable at this point.

440
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 3: For the Cowboys, what were your thoughts.

441
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 5: Well, I'm distinctly remembering we talked about it during the break.

442
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 5: There is a point where I want to say third

443
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 5: quarter ish where it felt like Rico was really getting

444
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 5: a lot of burn. I mean like three four reps

445
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 5: in a row, to the point where I kind of

446
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 5: sat out loud, I said, is Tony okay? And then

447
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 5: a couple plays later, Tony was back in and he

448
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 5: got two or three runs in a row, so he

449
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 5: was obviously physically fine. But the fact that I had

450
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 5: that thought, if I recall correctly, that's the first time

451
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 5: I've had that thought all season. And it may go

452
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 5: to your point that it's more so a fifty to

453
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,120
Speaker 5: fifty and it could be, you know, fifty one forty

454
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 5: nine for Tony this week and next week could be

455
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 5: fifty one forty nine for Rico Daldo. And that's probably

456
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 5: the case, which I would be completely fine with because

457
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 5: it keeps both of those guys fresh going into December

458
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 5: and in January and then hopefully in February. So I'm

459
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:44,679
Speaker 5: with McCarthy if that's his plan. It looks like that

460
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 5: is because it is bearing itself out. We'll see how

461
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 5: things go in Buffalo where that run game might really

462
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 5: come into play depending on what the weather is. But yeah,

463
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:54,919
Speaker 5: I mean it was good to see because Tony. The

464
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 5: thing I'm liking about Tony Pollard is as the offensive

465
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 5: line has come together and the continuity there, you're seeing

466
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 5: the lanes developed and he's not doing a lot of

467
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,439
Speaker 5: dance and he is running north and south. That at

468
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 5: a couple of plays last night where he hit that

469
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 5: hole and he hit it hard. That was very Ezekiel

470
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 5: Elliottish to me, and I was like, okay, Tony, I

471
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 5: see you getting dirty. And then Rico Dawdle will come

472
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 5: in and Rico sees the lane and he either hits

473
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 5: it or if that lane closes, its immediate bounce like

474
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 5: his quickness is out, which reminded me of Tony Pollard

475
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:24,959
Speaker 5: in like twenty twenty two and twenty twenty one. So

476
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 5: it feels to me like those two are kind of

477
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 5: settling in those roles and Pollard is getting much more

478
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 5: comfortable with doing that dirty work now that his offensive

479
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,880
Speaker 5: line is is really jelling and giving him those lanes

480
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 5: to do.

481
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,439
Speaker 9: So, yeah, I'll say I agree with you, and I

482
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 9: would have to go back because I can't think exactly

483
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 9: like why the reason, like why that thought came into

484
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 9: into it. Yeah, because same with what you were saying, Derek, Like,

485
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 9: we do see them being interchangeable all the time. That's

486
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:55,120
Speaker 9: what it's been. But I do remember twice in two

487
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 9: occasions where I'm working on the computer and I look

488
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 9: up and I see Rico and I'm like, huh, we're

489
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:05,439
Speaker 9: in situationally where usually you would see Tony instead. But again,

490
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 9: because it is interchangeable like that, you don't give it

491
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 9: that much thought or look into it that deeply. But

492
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:16,119
Speaker 9: it felt like they were using them a little bit differently.

493
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:17,919
Speaker 9: I don't know if Brian, if you've had time to

494
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 9: kind of.

495
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,400
Speaker 12: Yeah, they take a better when they throw the ball.

496
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 12: They would rather have Pollard in there. He catches the

497
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 12: ball well and he blocks well. The thing that's encouraging

498
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 12: me he had eleven yard run last night where he

499
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 12: broke an arm tackle of the safety buyered you know,

500
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 12: and it's now you're starting to see that where he's

501
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,879
Speaker 12: making people miss or he's running through arm tackles. I

502
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 12: think early in the season you didn't see that happen

503
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:38,239
Speaker 12: at all.

504
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 2: Yep.

505
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 6: Yeah.

506
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:40,879
Speaker 3: One other things to note, I just looked up their

507
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:42,360
Speaker 3: snap count.

508
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,679
Speaker 8: Pollard actually had the lion's here of the snaps between

509
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,679
Speaker 8: the two. He had fifty nine snaps seventy two percent,

510
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 8: where doubt Will only had twenty three snaps twenty eight percent.

511
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 8: So he's getting the lion's here of the work. But

512
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 8: it doesn't even feel like that to me. It just

513
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:58,640
Speaker 8: feels like any either one of them can be out

514
00:22:58,640 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 8: there at any moment.

515
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,639
Speaker 5: It might have been that there's a particular stretch of

516
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 5: time where there was so much Rico that second half. Yeah, exactly,

517
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 5: particularly in the third quarter, where it made me have

518
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 5: that thought, well, is Tony okay? Because we had seen

519
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:12,360
Speaker 5: Tony a good bit in the first half, and then

520
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 5: maybe so after that, you know, you kind of go

521
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 5: back to Tony. But Rico got a ton of burn

522
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 5: in that third quarter.

523
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 12: We're starting to see it where it's more like it's,

524
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 12: like you said, more like a college program. There was

525
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 12: a time where it was Zeke and Pollard, and there

526
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 12: would be like second or third series you would see

527
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 12: a guy come in for that whole series, and they're

528
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 12: really not doing that. It's it's like shuffling tight ends.

529
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 12: They'll put a back end. Then the little shuffling receivers,

530
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,919
Speaker 12: they'll put a back end. So they're part of like

531
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 12: the packages that these guys are running right now.

532
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 8: If you remember, that was a time when every games

533
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,199
Speaker 8: we'd finished now and Pollard didn't seem to feel very

534
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 8: much like they just didn't use him in the same way.

535
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,879
Speaker 8: But you're seeing they're using both of these guys, I

536
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,119
Speaker 8: think is actually a really good thing. It's just a

537
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 8: good thing for your offense. And you got two guys

538
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 8: you're using regularly. All right, let's talk about the offensive line.

539
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 8: They did allow to sacks. Just we talked about the

540
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 8: running game, How did the offensive line play specifically, I

541
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 8: want to talk about it. I know you mentioned Steel,

542
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 8: but I want to talk about Steel and be Oddish

543
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 8: because there were a couple of moments there where you

544
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 8: kind of it seemed like the oddish kind of was

545
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 8: having a little trouble there in the middle.

546
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 3: What did you see from the offensive line?

547
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 12: He got tripped on the He had twenty five yards

548
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 12: of penalties on one drive and the one play where

549
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 12: he got hold of he got run over the butt.

550
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:24,879
Speaker 2: He probably would have been.

551
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 12: Able to maintain his feet, but he tripped on Martin's

552
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 12: foot going backwards. And so what happens is he's going back,

553
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 12: he's got his hands inside, and he just pulls the

554
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:35,239
Speaker 12: defender on top of him.

555
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 2: The officials call that.

556
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,120
Speaker 12: I don't know how you could call clipping on him

557
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 12: his head his head. His head was across the defender's leg,

558
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 12: and so if it was behind or in the back

559
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 12: where he was going into the back of his leg,

560
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 12: but the fact that his head was already front side

561
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 12: of the play, that that.

562
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,239
Speaker 2: Shouldn't have been a tripping call. And so you know

563
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 2: that happens.

564
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 12: I can't remember the last time I saw a tripping call,

565
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 12: by the way, or not tripping clip call inside on

566
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 12: an offensive lineman like that.

567
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 2: Overall, though, I tell you what, the combo blocks that they.

568
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:10,880
Speaker 12: Got in the Running Game with Steele and Martin were

569
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 12: coming off really well.

570
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 2: Pattish I held his.

571
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,880
Speaker 12: Own in the Running Game. They ran some really creative runs.

572
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 12: They tried an old school trap, they did some misdirections.

573
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 12: They did double screen where they ran both guards and

574
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 12: the tackles opposite directions, so they're trying to create some

575
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 12: space there. I like doing that. But I mentioned this

576
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 12: stuff about with Steel, and they went into this game

577
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 12: thinking Okay, we're gonna have to help him a little bit.

578
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 12: And I talked about the single blocks he did were good,

579
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,160
Speaker 12: the double team blocks Pollard helped him. There the sack,

580
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 12: I have a question, and I wish I could ask

581
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 12: somebody in the organization about this, because the sack that

582
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 12: Steele gave up, it was almost like he was expecting

583
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 12: Pollard to help him to the outside, and Pollard was

584
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 12: set up to do that because Steele never got out

585
00:25:59,960 --> 00:26:02,639
Speaker 12: of his stance. It's like still only engaged with his

586
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 12: right hand, and his feet were so slow, so you

587
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 12: were thinking, okay, is he slow setting here to give

588
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 12: Pollard a chance to get outside and help in that way,

589
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 12: Because the very next play they ran the same thing

590
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 12: and Pollard helped him and so they were able to

591
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,879
Speaker 12: So I wonder if maybe Steele thought, hey, I'm getting

592
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 12: help on this particular pass play. But I mean he

593
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,360
Speaker 12: allowed Reddick and you know, luckily you didn't lose Dak

594
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 12: because Reddick went really really low coming in there onto

595
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 12: his knees. But overall, I mean, I think you have

596
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 12: to be pleased with the way that they were able

597
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,399
Speaker 12: to hold up both in the running game and then

598
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,119
Speaker 12: also with their pass protection stuff.

599
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 3: I was looking at Tyron Smith. This is an interesting

600
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 3: stat from him.

601
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 8: He was against Josh Sweat nineteen times last night, allowed

602
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 8: five pressures, a twenty six point three pressure percent pressure rate,

603
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,679
Speaker 8: So not great, but you know, obviously it didn't end

604
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,679
Speaker 8: up being disastrous for the Cowboys. And then juxtaposed that

605
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,440
Speaker 8: to Zach Martin, who was up against Fletcher Cox twenty

606
00:26:58,480 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 8: six percent of the time. I heard you say it

607
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:01,359
Speaker 8: on the sh oh last night, and I went and

608
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:04,359
Speaker 8: looked it up, and he had one pressure, one sack

609
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 8: against Ta Yeah, which and now he's the league.

610
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:08,920
Speaker 6: Shouldn't have happened.

611
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 3: He's second lowest pressure rate.

612
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 8: He's allowed the second lowest pressure rate of any guard

613
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 8: right guard in the NFL through Week fourteen. So Zach

614
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:22,439
Speaker 8: Martin playing more outstanding football. Tyron continues to play more

615
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,679
Speaker 8: outstanding football, though yesterday was a bit of a challenge

616
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 8: for him. But overall, you look at the offensive line

617
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 8: as a unit. They played pretty well.

618
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 2: No issues. There no issues there with you know that.

619
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,439
Speaker 12: It wasn't anything like that some of the protections in

620
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,640
Speaker 12: Week nine, where there was seemed like every down there

621
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:39,400
Speaker 12: was some type of pressure in Dak's face.

622
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,119
Speaker 2: In this game, it was a little bit more of

623
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 2: a clean pocket for him.

624
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 6: The offensive line looked looked really good.

625
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:46,680
Speaker 5: I mean, like you said, five pressures from Josh Wood

626
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 5: against Tyrant Smith, but no sex, and I venture to

627
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 5: say those pressures didn't really disrupt with the Cowboys are

628
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:55,119
Speaker 5: trying to do on any of those plays. Zach Martin,

629
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:58,159
Speaker 5: fantastic football against Fletcher Cox. If Dak Prescott gets rid

630
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 5: of that ball, it's a touchdown and out of second.

631
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 5: We're not talking about Fletcher Cox having any impact on

632
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 5: the game whatsoever. Jaylen Carter, he gets his scoop and

633
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:08,199
Speaker 5: score from that, but other than that, he had one pressure.

634
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:11,920
Speaker 5: Jordan Davis, zero pressures. I mean that interior really held

635
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 5: up when it comes to Tyler Smith, talerbe ad Ishan,

636
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 5: Zach Martin. They were not allowing any pressure up the middle,

637
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 5: and that allowed for Dak Prescott to be able to

638
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:20,679
Speaker 5: read the field and react.

639
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:22,360
Speaker 2: That's Philadelphia's problem, right there.

640
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 12: If they don't get edge pressure now their secondary gets exposed.

641
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 6: Yeah.

642
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 8: Yeah, and you know, I'll mention this, like, I do

643
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 8: think part of this, part of what the offense, what

644
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:33,880
Speaker 8: we're seeing from the offensive line right now and how

645
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:37,159
Speaker 8: well they look is also, in my opinion, a result

646
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 8: of how good Dak is playing. I remember back when

647
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 8: when Bledsoe was the quarterback here, they were having all

648
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 8: kinds of problems with the offensive line, and then they

649
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 8: made that decision to put Tony Romo in there, and

650
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 8: all of a sudden, offenserve line is playing great and

651
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 8: everybody's like, Wow, offense lines really gotten better. They're doing

652
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 8: the same, but he knows how to move around. He

653
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 8: forces the defense to play him differently so they can't

654
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 8: just rush because he did rush into a spot. And

655
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 8: I think that's that's what gets lost a lot of times,

656
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 8: is for an offensive line, a lot of times, the

657
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 8: ability of the quarterback can make him look really good

658
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 8: or make them look really poor and really exacerbate whatever

659
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 8: problems they already had.

660
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 12: Well, the touchdown passed that Prescott had that threw to

661
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 12: Lamb the first one, yeah, I mean it was just

662
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 12: Lamb running across and then Dak being able to get

663
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 12: You get a really good edge block by Tyrone Smith

664
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 12: that allows him to get to the outside, and there's Dak.

665
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 12: You know, Dak on the move throwing the football. You know,

666
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 12: you get the receiver, you get separation, Dak finds the guy,

667
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 12: Dak running to his left, Jesusly Money throwing the ball, and.

668
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 2: He was able to complete it.

669
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 12: It was really a really pretty play just because your

670
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 12: quarterback was able to move and your receiver kept moving

671
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 12: with him, which is.

672
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 9: Why I was just gonna say that, I think a

673
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 9: lot of the times that I'm watching because it helps

674
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 9: him a lot of the fighter. DK gets red of

675
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 9: the ball so quickly because at times, and I feel

676
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 9: like I've seen many many plays where had he held

677
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 9: the ball, maybe three more seconds or somebody would have

678
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 9: gone Dak and riding his face. So it's always like

679
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 9: the right timing, the perfect timing, not enough to the

680
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 9: point where it just distracts Dak and messes up with

681
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 9: what he's trying to do, but just the perfect timing.

682
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 9: And I think, right now, maybe it's the fact that

683
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 9: they want and I'm feeling positive and I feel good today,

684
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 9: but I feel like giving them more praise than criticism,

685
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 9: because we know that even though some of these guys

686
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 9: are no longer popping up on the injury report with

687
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 9: some type of injury, we know that they're still dealing

688
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 9: with stuff, all of them pretty much. So the fact

689
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 9: that they've held strong to this point and that we

690
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 9: are at least seeing progress in the running game, which

691
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 9: was a huge deal. I think they've done a really

692
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 9: really good job.

693
00:30:55,920 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 12: I think they're better. I think there's actually better idea

694
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 12: of how they want to attack fronts with the way

695
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 12: that they're blocking these fronts.

696
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 5: And also to that point, kind of circling back to

697
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 5: deck really quickly. Excellent point by Inbar. I think that

698
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 5: if you compare Dak Prescott post week five to Dak

699
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 5: Prescott pre week five. Pre week five, it was much

700
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 5: more mechanical as he tries has he tried to figure

701
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 5: out how to operate this offense.

702
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 6: It was much more drop back, what's my timer? Let

703
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 6: it go? Who's going now?

704
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 5: It's he's so comfortable with it that he's no longer

705
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 5: that statue in the backfield trying to figure it out.

706
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 5: It's one two, it's not there. I'm moving, but I'm

707
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 5: still eyes downfield. I'm moving still, eyes downfield, Okay, screw

708
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 5: this ten yard rush for a first down. So because

709
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 5: he's so much more comfortable, and the better word is

710
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 5: he's in command. He's in total command of this offense.

711
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 5: That was not the case week's one through week five.

712
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 5: But now that he's in total command, you're seeing it

713
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 5: and how explosive they can be. And the offensive line,

714
00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 5: like you said, one hand washes the other. They're helping

715
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 5: him with continuity and you know, protecting and carving out

716
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 5: lanes for the running game.

717
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 6: He's helping them.

718
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 5: When the pressure does come five pressures from Josh Sweat,

719
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 5: Sweat can't get his hands on him because Dak the

720
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 5: timer went off Dak side of there in a big plays.

721
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 3: Maybe Yeah, I love that word.

722
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 8: I think that sums up his play here over these

723
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 8: last several weeks.

724
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 6: His command.

725
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 8: I think you can really see how much he is

726
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 8: really commanding this offense. Are we're going to take our

727
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 8: final break, we'll come back. We got to talk about

728
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 8: this defense. They had another really good night, not a

729
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 8: great night necessarily compared, I mean a great night compared

730
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:28,720
Speaker 8: to last week.

731
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 3: For sure.

732
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 8: We'll talk about that when we come back. This is

Speaker 13: Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the

735
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 13: cheatah Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat repellent he bought

736
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,719
Speaker 13: online was reliable, and now Todd is trying to be

737
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 13: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.

738
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:46,760

740
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:51,800

741
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:52,440

786
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 12: this read last night? And we did it?

Speaker 2: We did. We yelled the extravagains fun. So they'll be

791
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I did like that, like the music?

792
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:28,879
Speaker 4: Yes?

793
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 3: Great, All right, here we go.

794
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 8: Let's finish this thing up. Let's talk about the defense

795
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 8: last night. I want to start with Stephan Gilmour. He

796
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:37,800
Speaker 8: had nine tackles, one force fumble.

797
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 6: Uh.

798
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:40,239
Speaker 8: He after the game did talk about the fact that

799
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 8: he traveled quite a bit with AJ Brown, and he

800
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:44,839
Speaker 8: said that they come to him earlier in the week

801
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 8: and told him about it, and he was like pretty

802
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 8: excited about it, because he admitted sometimes he can get

803
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 8: a little bored when you have to sit in one spot.

804
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:54,319
Speaker 8: But he did a fairly good job. The interesting thing

805
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:56,800
Speaker 8: is it wasn't like a J. Brown got shut down.

806
00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,760
Speaker 8: I mean, he did have nine catches for ninety four yards,

807
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 8: didn't have a touchdown, so it weren't any killer plays,

808
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:03,399
Speaker 8: but it didn't really shut him down.

809
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:05,719
Speaker 3: How would you assess this play overall? Gilmore?

810
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 5: I think Gilmore was fantastic, honestly, Like I said, I

811
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 5: hope everybody calls him old so he can feel away

812
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 5: and play accordingly. And like you said, Aj, he had

813
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 5: just under one hundred yards. But it's also fair to

814
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 5: say that there was some stat patting going on there

815
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:23,239
Speaker 5: as well. Yeah, there was some stat pay going on.

816
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 5: But you know, when you talk about Gilmore in this

817
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 5: particular game, you also have to talk about, you know,

818
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 5: I mentioned it earlier, his ability to tackle, his willingness

819
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 5: to get in there, get his hands dirty, take down

820
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 5: a bigger guy like Aj Brown. On more than one occasion,

821
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:39,400
Speaker 5: critical stops to delete the yards after the catch. You

822
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:41,440
Speaker 5: talk about the force fumble from behind, that was one

823
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:44,799
Speaker 5: of those plays where, yeah, Aj makes the play. He's

824
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:47,360
Speaker 5: trying to get some yards after the catch and Stepan

825
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:50,719
Speaker 5: comes up behind him and just completely rips the ball out.

826
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 5: Another huge play for the Cowboys defense. So you love

827
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 5: what you're getting from Stefan Gilmore and quite as it's kept.

828
00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:58,280
Speaker 6: He's played some really.

829
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:01,360
Speaker 5: Good football the majority of this season, and that's what

830
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 5: you need when you lose a guy like Diggs. And

831
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 5: we talked about it when when the Cowboys lost Digs

832
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:09,239
Speaker 5: for the season, that made the value of Stefan Gilmore's

833
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 5: trade that much more priceless. And now you see why

834
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:14,360
Speaker 5: that is. So shouts out to Gilly. He did a

835
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:15,399
Speaker 5: fantastic job there.

836
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 2: I thought his fourth down stop was a change the game.

837
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 2: I really did.

838
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 12: I felt like the Eagles, I mean with the turnovers

839
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 12: were huge as well, but that you know they're going

840
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:27,279
Speaker 12: to try and run him through the trash and he

841
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 12: you know, on the other side, here's coming from the

842
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:33,319
Speaker 12: opposite direction, here's big Brown, coming right at you, and

843
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:37,440
Speaker 12: he totally avoids that and is able to stay, you know,

844
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 12: with with his man with Smith going across. And I

845
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:43,880
Speaker 12: think what was even better about it was that Kurs

846
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:45,359
Speaker 12: and Armstrong.

847
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 2: Got home on the blitz. They ran a six man

848
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:48,399
Speaker 2: blitz to and.

849
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:51,440
Speaker 12: The ball came out low and so Smith had to

850
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 12: wait on the ball and had to adjust low, and

851
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:56,479
Speaker 12: that gave that gave Gilmour even more of an.

852
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 2: Opportunity to close in the open field.

853
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 12: And hats off to him for making a sure tackle

854
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 12: on the outside, because if somehow that Smith misses that

855
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 12: or gets through that tackle, it's up the sidelines and

856
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 12: who knows what's happening. But I thought that play right

857
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 12: there changed the momentum of the game for the Cowboys.

858
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:19,759
Speaker 9: Yeah, there are times, and I'm not calling him old, okay,

859
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:21,279
Speaker 9: but there are times that.

860
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 6: You think there's a benefit now to doing that.

861
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 9: Well, I'm not doing that. I'm not saying that, But

862
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 9: there are times where he does appear slow, where he

863
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 9: is slow and not appear he is slow at times

864
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 9: in previous games, and there are many plays that I

865
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:41,719
Speaker 9: can remember where you see him and he's in pursuit

866
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 9: a few steps behind it didn't really happen in this game,

867
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:47,840
Speaker 9: at least I haven't gone back and rewatched everything, but

868
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 9: nothing that I can recall out of the top of

869
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 9: my head where he's constantly having to chase somebody. He

870
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 9: was there and where the action was happening. So that's

871
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 9: something that I noticed, where he was just where's the ball. Oh,

872
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 9: he's there, he's there, he's involved, He's right where he

873
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 9: needs to be. That was one of the differences that

874
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:10,360
Speaker 9: I just noticed from his game compared to previous games.

875
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:12,760
Speaker 5: And it was clear that Nick Sirianni made a concerted

876
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:15,520
Speaker 5: effort to throw away from Deran Bland because he only

877
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:18,759
Speaker 5: targeted Bland twice and Bland only allowed eight yards, so

878
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 5: he was really targeting Gilmour and he was trying to

879
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:23,439
Speaker 5: take advantage of getting his playmakers in space against an

880
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:26,440
Speaker 5: older veteran guy who doesn't have the quickness of Bland

881
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:28,839
Speaker 5: and Lewis and some of these younger corners. But all

882
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 5: Gilmour did was keep the work in front of him

883
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:33,919
Speaker 5: and those that kind of got behind him, he turned

884
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:36,239
Speaker 5: it into a takeaway. So when you look at his

885
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:38,440
Speaker 5: stat line and you see nine tackles to lead the

886
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 5: team and they were all solo tackles. And then you

887
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 5: go and marry that to the film and see that

888
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:46,279
Speaker 5: those were, you know, impact tackles, almost each one of those.

889
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 6: Gilmore, he had himself a day.

890
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 3: Michael Parsons scared all Cowboys Nation. I was.

891
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:54,719
Speaker 8: I was sitting at my house before I left for

892
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 8: the game. I had a lot of family in town

893
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 8: for the game, and they all all my nephews on

894
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 8: their pone and they see they see the message come up.

895
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:07,360
Speaker 8: Michael Parsons added to the injury board. He's sick, and

896
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 8: everybody's like, oh, my.

897
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:10,840
Speaker 3: Goshes that me and I said. I was like, I said,

898
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:12,239
Speaker 3: I'm gonna put money on it.

899
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:15,319
Speaker 8: This is gonna be one of those games where Micae's

900
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 8: he's sick going into the game, but Michae's going to

901
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:18,279
Speaker 8: have a good game.

902
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:21,279
Speaker 3: Don't even don't even right, don't even fret about it.

903
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:23,719
Speaker 8: And sure enough Michael shows up and after the game

904
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:25,400
Speaker 8: to ask him like, so you feeling good now?

905
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 3: He's like, I'm feeling pretty good.

906
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:26,920
Speaker 6: You know.

907
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 8: He got to go and get some rest. But yeah,

908
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:30,440
Speaker 8: I thought it was he played a good game. But

909
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:33,719
Speaker 8: here's an interesting thing against Lane Johnson, who I think is,

910
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 8: in my opinion, the best right tackle in football and

911
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:40,040
Speaker 8: has been for several years. Against Lane Johnson last night,

912
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:42,240
Speaker 8: he was matched up against him eleven times.

913
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:45,279
Speaker 3: Uh, and he had two pressures, one sack.

914
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:48,920
Speaker 8: He was he was against him forty two point three

915
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:52,959
Speaker 8: percent of the time and that was only that's going

916
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 8: back to Week nine, he was only against him one time.

917
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:57,680
Speaker 8: So that was something the Cowboys obviously went into the

918
00:40:57,680 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 8: game saying, we think that Michael may be able to

919
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:03,400
Speaker 8: be effective against him, and absolutely was. What were your

920
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:04,719
Speaker 8: thoughts on Michael Parsons last side.

921
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:07,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, straight, bull rush got the sack and Lane Johnson's

922
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:10,799
Speaker 2: holding him. I mean Lane Johnson, he's he's in. He's in.

923
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:14,280
Speaker 12: Lane Johnson's body so deep that Johnson has no choice,

924
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 12: but he's got his left arm kind of wrapped around him.

925
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 12: And then Cam Jurgens, the guard is like he can't

926
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 12: even get.

927
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 2: It's it's such a bull rush.

928
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:26,880
Speaker 12: That Johnson is back and now Jurgens can't even get in.

929
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:28,000
Speaker 12: It can't even help.

930
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:29,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then.

931
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:31,800
Speaker 3: Have you ever seen that, I can't even think a situation.

932
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:33,399
Speaker 3: Johnson just get bull rush.

933
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:37,320
Speaker 12: Usually Tank will tank back in the day when Tank

934
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:40,400
Speaker 12: would like move him the one thing Lane Johnson can.

935
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:43,240
Speaker 2: Do is he can adjust to you. Yeah, he can adjust.

936
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:45,399
Speaker 12: But the one thing is he gets a little tall

937
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:47,920
Speaker 12: and you get inside of him, he can't reset his

938
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 12: feet fast enough. And Parsons knew this and just took

939
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:54,920
Speaker 12: him straight. But really, give give a lot of give

940
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:59,800
Speaker 12: a lot of credit, uh to. But Clark was coveraged

941
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:00,440
Speaker 12: with Goddard.

942
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:01,239
Speaker 2: It looked like that.

943
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:03,920
Speaker 12: It looked like Hurts wanted to throw the ball inside

944
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 12: and and and Clark had such good coverage on Goddard

945
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:11,640
Speaker 12: that it made Hurts just kind of have to hesitate

946
00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:13,759
Speaker 12: to even want to throw the ball. And by that

947
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 12: time Parsons is on it. But he just completely just

948
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 12: bull rushed him back. He just said, okay, you're not

949
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:22,360
Speaker 12: gonna be able to set your feet on me in

950
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:22,759
Speaker 12: this one.

951
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:24,240
Speaker 2: And he got inside of that body.

952
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:26,360
Speaker 12: And that's what the ones when you when you affect

953
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:29,800
Speaker 12: Lane Johnson, it's usually you get him playing playing back

954
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 12: like that.

955
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 5: When when you see and like you said yesterday, I

956
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:35,399
Speaker 5: mean I was washing dishes when I got that text

957
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:38,959
Speaker 5: message that Michael was added and almost dropped the plate

958
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:41,440
Speaker 5: because I was like what And then I read the

959
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:43,239
Speaker 5: rest of it and say he's expected to play, and.

960
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:45,719
Speaker 3: I'm like, yeah, okay, yeah.

961
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 6: All right, lead with that.

962
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 2: Next I think we're just protecting ourselves from getting.

963
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:52,200
Speaker 3: In to do what you need to absolute.

964
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 5: Just lead with that next time to say he's expected

965
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 5: to play, but he's battling the onn it's okay, make

966
00:42:57,719 --> 00:42:59,839
Speaker 5: my heart stop. But uh, for him to go out

967
00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:01,640
Speaker 5: there and do what he did, I mean, it wasn't

968
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 5: the most explosive game, but he definitely impacted the game.

969
00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 6: He drew several double teams.

970
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:08,400
Speaker 5: And then you talk about just that bull rush to

971
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:11,160
Speaker 5: Lane Johnson, showed me someone else over the course of

972
00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:14,919
Speaker 5: Lane Johnson's career that has embarrassed him to that particular point.

973
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:17,720
Speaker 5: I mean, like, like Brian said, he was he almost

974
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:23,920
Speaker 5: ran through Lane Johnson, like he completely obliterated and left

975
00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 5: him with a bloody nose to boot. So uh, and

976
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:28,359
Speaker 5: there was no flag going to play funny all that works.

977
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:30,520
Speaker 5: So Micah true to his hands.

978
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:31,880
Speaker 2: The face was legit.

979
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:38,920
Speaker 6: Almost took the helmet. Yeah he was. He was fed up.

980
00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:43,200
Speaker 5: But Mike Micah, you know, he he battled through flu

981
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:45,719
Speaker 5: like symptoms and basically the flu. He talked to him

982
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:48,280
Speaker 5: in the locker room after the game and he said

983
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:51,319
Speaker 5: that he took as many medications and as much I

984
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:55,080
Speaker 5: V as any human could possibly take to be ready.

985
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:56,560
Speaker 3: To take taking scoops of stuff.

986
00:43:56,680 --> 00:43:57,320
Speaker 2: Ye, no more.

987
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:01,640
Speaker 6: That was no, it did not he had to throw

988
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:02,040
Speaker 6: that up.

989
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:02,919
Speaker 3: No, it did not.

990
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 2: How did he play that?

991
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:05,319
Speaker 5: Yet?

992
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:08,439
Speaker 6: Then he threw it up and then he still had

993
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:09,600
Speaker 6: had facts.

994
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:13,799
Speaker 9: So you want to do it every game, just go

995
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:15,319
Speaker 9: for it.

996
00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:18,440
Speaker 5: Then it becomes a scene from the program and if

997
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:21,799
Speaker 5: you know careful, it's gonna starting buses in half like

998
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:25,400
Speaker 5: any given Sunday or so on, cars and half. But no, Michael,

999
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:27,799
Speaker 5: he affected the game and he was less than one

1000
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 5: hundred percent. And to see him do it against the

1001
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 5: future Hall of Famer like Lane Johnson, I mean, it

1002
00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:35,560
Speaker 5: just tells you just how generational, generationally special this young

1003
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:37,120
Speaker 5: man is so good stuff.

1004
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:42,080
Speaker 9: Yeah, no, same great game, good for Micah, but definitely

1005
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:44,200
Speaker 9: when I saw that, I was I was concerned too,

1006
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:46,600
Speaker 9: and like if he if something happens, I mean, that

1007
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:49,400
Speaker 9: would be a big game changer. I think your defense

1008
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:52,160
Speaker 9: completely changes. If Mike it's not able to.

1009
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:54,120
Speaker 6: Be to step up, there's no replacement.

1010
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:57,680
Speaker 9: You can't replicate what they're able to do with Micah

1011
00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:00,960
Speaker 9: on the Field, So yeah, great victory for them.

1012
00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:03,719
Speaker 8: Yeah, real quick before he end the show. One storyline

1013
00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:06,920
Speaker 8: that dominated the headlines last week shoul kill Leonard. He

1014
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:09,920
Speaker 8: is now with the Philadelphia Eagles, but he only had

1015
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:12,720
Speaker 8: fourteen snaps, so it wasn't like they could really integrate

1016
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:13,919
Speaker 8: him much into what they were.

1017
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:14,319
Speaker 3: Trying to think.

1018
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:16,040
Speaker 2: Regret, I don't think so.

1019
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:19,000
Speaker 8: I think he probably sitting there thinking, once y'all get

1020
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:20,759
Speaker 8: me in there, more will be better.

1021
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:21,160
Speaker 2: Right.

1022
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 8: I'm sure he's looking at it like I'll be I'll

1023
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:25,759
Speaker 8: be more integrated into this defense at some point.

1024
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:27,319
Speaker 3: I think they probably think that as well.

1025
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:29,719
Speaker 12: He'll play next week in Seattle against Moro. They'll take

1026
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:31,000
Speaker 12: forty one out of the lineups.

1027
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:31,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, they'll do it.

1028
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:34,360
Speaker 5: But speaking of Shack Leonard, and you know, not to

1029
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:36,239
Speaker 5: take anything away from because like you said on only

1030
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:38,440
Speaker 5: fourteen snaps and you know, two tackles, and that fourteen

1031
00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 5: snaps didn't affect the game for the Eagles at all.

1032
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 6: But you know who did is Damon Clark.

1033
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:46,880
Speaker 5: And Marquise Bell four tackles a piece, you know, Demon

1034
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:49,719
Speaker 5: with the fumble recovery in the past, breakup, Marky's Bell

1035
00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:52,719
Speaker 5: with the funk perforce fumble in the past breakup. I mean,

1036
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:55,640
Speaker 5: those two young men absolutely stepped up, and I feel

1037
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:57,520
Speaker 5: like they felt a way after hearing all these Shack

1038
00:45:57,600 --> 00:46:00,439
Speaker 5: Leonard headlines. And I had kind of an EXCLUSI side

1039
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:03,120
Speaker 5: to side with with the Moon after the game in

1040
00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:04,759
Speaker 5: the locker room, and I asked him, I said, hey,

1041
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 5: was that kind of a message game for you and

1042
00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:10,080
Speaker 5: Marquise after you know, days and days of hearing Shack

1043
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:14,719
Speaker 5: Leonard headlines and whatnot. His quote was, we're young, but

1044
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:17,319
Speaker 5: this ain't our first rodeo end quote. So you take

1045
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:19,239
Speaker 5: that how you want to take it. But Damon Clark

1046
00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:21,960
Speaker 5: and Marquise Bell, they're they're here to continue sending a

1047
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:23,280
Speaker 5: message for the Cowboys linebackers.

1048
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:25,080
Speaker 8: It's funny. I heard him say that. I was standing

1049
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:27,640
Speaker 8: in front of you, yeah, Micah, and I heard.

1050
00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:28,440
Speaker 3: I was like, who said that?

1051
00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:30,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, And.

1052
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:33,160
Speaker 3: I was like, that's Patrick back then, I know exactly

1053
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:33,640
Speaker 3: what he's.

1054
00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:36,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly a Q and A with Damon Clark and

1055
00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:40,399
Speaker 5: very candid, very very open, and a very intelligent young

1056
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:43,400
Speaker 5: man who is focused. So not only was he you know,

1057
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:46,279
Speaker 5: talking about you know how this is not their first

1058
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:48,000
Speaker 5: rodeo and Basically, what he was saying is, at the

1059
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:49,960
Speaker 5: end of the day, this is just football. This is

1060
00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:52,160
Speaker 5: the same sport they've been playing their entire lives. But

1061
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:54,920
Speaker 5: then he immediately started to turn the page to Buffalo.

1062
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 5: So in the span of a two and a half

1063
00:46:57,160 --> 00:47:00,319
Speaker 5: minute conversation with him, he talked about the Eagle, and

1064
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:02,720
Speaker 5: then the last sixty seconds of it was talking about

1065
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 5: Buffalo and potential temperatures and the adjustments that they might

1066
00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:09,439
Speaker 5: make in Buffalo. So he's already on to the next game,

1067
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:11,600
Speaker 5: which is the culture of the Cowboys right now.

1068
00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:13,480
Speaker 8: Guess what, the next time we're on the air, we

1069
00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:15,400
Speaker 8: will also be talking about the Buffalo Bills.

1070
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 3: We will not be on the air tomorrow.

1071
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:19,000
Speaker 8: Tomorrow we are going out to do a little service

1072
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:21,320
Speaker 8: in the community, going to work at the Salvation Army.

1073
00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:23,200
Speaker 3: And so we won't be on there. We won't be

1074
00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:25,280
Speaker 3: on the air tomorrow. We won't be on there tomorrow.

1075
00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:28,360
