Dallas thirty three, Philadelphia thirteen. I think we 0:01:04.040 --> 0:01:07.320 all picked Dallas, but man, I don't think anybody expected 0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:09.680 to see what we saw last night. That was a domination. 0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:13.280 From the beginning of the game. Dallas looked really, really 0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:15.200 good last night. We'll break that down for you guys 0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:17.560 throughout the course of this show. We'll start what we 0:01:17.600 --> 0:01:20.920 start on every Monday with the storyline. What's the big 0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:23.679 picture storyline coming out of this game today. I want 0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:25.720 to start with Amber. Let's go with you first, big 0:01:25.760 --> 0:01:26.560 picture storyline. 0:01:26.600 --> 0:01:30.679 Come on, well, big picture, we found out that the 0:01:30.720 --> 0:01:33.559 Eagles are actually not a good football team. 0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:34.520 How are you gonna go there? 0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:35.399 I don't know that. 0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:36.440 I don't believe that. 0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:40.040 I said, no, I don't either. I don't believe that either, 0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:43.600 But that's what I see all over twel Yeah, so shut. 0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:45.320 It, post, move post. 0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:48.920 Oh my god, it's ridiculous. It's insane. Some of the 0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:51.360 takes that I've been reading since last night are seeing 0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:56.440 on Twitter and other media outlets out there that like 0:01:57.600 --> 0:02:00.280 they just will not give it to the Cowboys. They're 0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:02.600 just like coming up with different reasons. Let's just see 0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:04.880 what kind of insane reason can we come up with 0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:08.160 this time to change the narrative and make it look 0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:10.839 again and sound like the Cowboys are not a good 0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:12.240 damn but they are. 0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:13.120 They are. 0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:17.680 Sorry, fly birds? What is a fly Eagles flag? 0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:18.000 Over? 0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:19.240 Man? 0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:20.240 Real quick? 0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:23.840 You know? For my birthday, I went to six Flags 0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:27.720 and out there a bunch of Eagle fans and just 0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:32.799 out of know where people just adults, grown adults riding rides. Godbird, 0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:36.000 I'm like shut up like that. 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:37.280 Talk to you. 0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:38.200 What are you doing? 0:02:38.320 --> 0:02:41.360 Like, just enjoy the freaking park. They're so obnoxious. 0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:43.959 Oh my god, but I'm. 0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:47.600 Why you enjoyed Arlington Texas too much. 0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:48.880 Yeah. 0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:54.639 But anyways, the storyline for me, I mean, what an 0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:59.119 amazing job McCarthy has done with this team and everything 0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:02.040 that he's done and implemented with all the changes. I know, 0:03:02.080 --> 0:03:06.200 we were very questionable of what he was doing the 0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:09.600 first few weeks of the season, and rightfully so, because 0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:13.880 everything that we were seeing wasn't necessarily great. You know, 0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:16.680 we were there were concerns there, and to be fair, 0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:19.240 he was able to change everything very quickly with the 0:03:19.280 --> 0:03:22.440 new system that he implemented, and it seems to be 0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:27.800 exactly fitted for what Dak Prescott is as a quarterback. 0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:31.000 It fits him perfectly. And they just keep exceeding my 0:03:31.160 --> 0:03:35.880 personal expectations and playing better and better each week. After 0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:38.280 the loss, the tough loss against the forty nine ers, 0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:41.880 so I think, to me, we saw a complete football 0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:45.160 team in all three facets of the game from start 0:03:45.240 --> 0:03:48.360 to finish. I was concerned heading into the second half 0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:54.000 when Dak had that fumble. I was concerned that I'm like, Okay, 0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:57.080 let me buckle up, buncle up that seat belvet, because 0:03:57.120 --> 0:04:00.440 it's about to get bumpy here. Because we've seeing the 0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:03.240 Eagles come back in the second half of many, many 0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:06.320 other games, so that wasn't out of the question yet. 0:04:06.600 --> 0:04:10.840 And the Cowboys handled the situation perfectly, and they just 0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:15.400 played a beautiful competitive game all from beginning to end. 0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:19.039 Produst, It's going to really come down to two things 0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:19.880 for me in this game. 0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:21.279 How well were you going to be able to help 0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:23.280 your right tackle in the game and how well was 0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:25.160 he going to play? Were you going to let Hassan 0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:28.359 Reddick be a factor in this game like he was 0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:30.719 the first time round or whoever played as the left 0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:33.640 edge for the Eagles. Those were the worries for me. 0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:36.680 And the second worry was how well were you able 0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:39.240 to hold up in the secondary when you needed to? 0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:42.800 And you know, they're really on both accounts. I felt 0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:45.479 like it was outstanding. When you watch the film, you'll 0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:48.520 see you know, still did a really nice job. The 0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:51.160 single blocks he had to deal with. They helped him 0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:54.320 with the double teams with Pollard, they chipped with Ferguson, 0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:57.479 they spaced him with Ferguson out there. So everything that 0:04:57.520 --> 0:04:59.680 we kind of talked about in the game leading up 0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:04.039 to like how would you try and handle how would 0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:08.520 you handle dealing with Reddick? And I was really impressed 0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:11.760 because they sometimes when coaches will be really stubborn and 0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:14.120 they won't have a plan for that, they'll say, Okay, no, 0:05:14.240 --> 0:05:16.800 we're good enough. But they realized that there were some 0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:18.919 issues there at the right tackle the last time that 0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:22.160 these two teams played, and give gives still a lot 0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:24.800 of credit the single blocks he had. He did a 0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:28.120 really nice job, but his teammates helped him well. In 0:05:28.160 --> 0:05:31.359 the secondary though, you needed to find a way to 0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:35.880 handle these receivers. It came down to, well you can 0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:37.560 be able to travel guys. You know a lot of 0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:41.039 teams don't like to travel guys. Well, they took they 0:05:41.120 --> 0:05:42.760 took your your your. 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:45.159 Corners, and they moved him around a little bit. You know. 0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:48.400 Gilmour was able to go uh you know and handle 0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:50.080 Brown when they needed to him. 0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:53.239 The turnovers that they created, we talked about how well 0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:56.120 that the uh that the safeties needed to play in 0:05:56.160 --> 0:05:58.679 this game, and to a man, they did a great job. 0:05:59.240 --> 0:06:02.320 The turnovers, the fumbles, all those things were led to 0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:05.120 a victory. So things that they needed to work on 0:06:05.240 --> 0:06:08.680 to get a victory. They were able to take advantage of. 0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:10.960 Those first and foremost. 0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:14.400 I want every opposing receiver to call Stefan Gilmore old 0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:16.800 from now on. I just need you to do that 0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:19.320 so you can learn the lesson that AJ Brown learned 0:06:19.360 --> 0:06:23.640 on yesterday. Gilmore was outstanding, and so was Bland when 0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:26.839 he was targeted, and going to Bland kind of brings 0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:29.560 me back to a central point that I spoke about 0:06:29.600 --> 0:06:32.479 going into the game, which was, you have to tackle 0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:35.640 against this Eagles offense. You have to tackle, tackle, tackle, 0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:37.800 because a large part of their offensive production in the 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:39.599 air comes from yards after the catch. 0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:41.920 Well, the Cowboys did exactly exactly that. 0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:45.840 They were exceptional in deleting potential yak once the ball 0:06:45.960 --> 0:06:48.080 was caught. Talk about Bland and how he takes down 0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:51.760 Dallas Goddard on the left flat. Talk about Gilmore and 0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:54.560 what he was able to do on two consecutive plays, 0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:57.640 critical plays late in the game as the Eagles were 0:06:57.640 --> 0:07:00.240 really gasping for some air there. And then on the 0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:03.280 one particular play which was kind of a microcosm of 0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:05.760 the game when the Eagles were able to get some yak. 0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:08.200 Talk about that Devonte Smith playing the fourth quarter, what 0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:11.400 happens come from behind force fumble, So even when they 0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:13.520 were able to get some yack, they paid for that. 0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:18.280 So Cowboys defense stepped up, and we talked about them 0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:20.680 giving up that many points to the Seahawks, but we 0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:23.080 were saying, well, three games in eleven days, and then 0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:25.239 you look at the offense they were going up against, 0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:27.400 maybe they were tired coming off of a manybody. 0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:29.240 They proved that that was actually the. 0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:32.440 Point you come in and you shut down Jalen Hurts 0:07:32.440 --> 0:07:35.560 in that offense. You don't allow them a single touchdown 0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:38.640 throughout four quarters of football. And this was supposed to 0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:42.120 be a front runner for MVP. You asked about Nick 0:07:42.160 --> 0:07:44.880 Bosa last week and what Nick Bosa said. The blueprint 0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:46.840 was out there, and I said the Cowboys had the 0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:49.440 blueprint and the personnel to execute the blueprint. 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:50.200 So there you go. 0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:53.160 Dak Prescott now has to be the not a the 0:07:53.440 --> 0:07:55.680 front runner for MVP based on what he was able 0:07:55.680 --> 0:07:55.880 to do. 0:07:55.920 --> 0:07:56.320 As well. 0:07:56.520 --> 0:07:59.440 Mike McCarthy, he's out there calling a great game with 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:02.800 suitors in his stomach. So I mean, just it's a 0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:06.160 statement when it destroys all narratives and I'm with you. 0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:07.880 I love what you said on Twitter last night. We're 0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:10.800 not I'm not accepting any goal posts moving. There's no Oh, well, 0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:13.600 they didn't beat a good team. Why is it that 0:08:13.960 --> 0:08:16.120 you're saying this team is not good? Is it because 0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:18.360 they got beat up? Well maybe that's because the team 0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:20.720 that beat them up is just a better team. So 0:08:20.760 --> 0:08:22.360 it's time to change that narrative to that. 0:08:22.480 --> 0:08:22.680 Yeah. 0:08:22.680 --> 0:08:24.280 In fact of the matter is like when you look 0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:27.080 at at this is this is typical of the NFL 0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:30.280 every there. There are lots of teams out there. There 0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:33.120 are a few really good teams. There's not a team 0:08:33.640 --> 0:08:35.880 most of the time that doesn't have at least a 0:08:35.920 --> 0:08:38.480 portion of their season where they hit some adversity. This 0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:40.400 is the nature of it, right. But you don't get 0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:42.319 to ten and three without being a good team. So 0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:44.640 don't move the goalpost now. Now, Philly is a good team. 0:08:44.960 --> 0:08:47.000 They got beat by a better team last night. And 0:08:47.040 --> 0:08:48.680 that's what Mike I said after the game. He was like, 0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:50.679 we were a better team tonight. And by the way, 0:08:50.720 --> 0:08:52.840 you run this thing back in Philadelphia in two weeks, 0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:55.640 who knows what it might be. Last night, Dallas was 0:08:55.800 --> 0:08:58.320 clearly the better team. So there is no moving the 0:08:58.320 --> 0:09:00.920 goal post. Philadelphia is a good team. Dallas just played 0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:02.880 a phenomenal game. They had a great game plan and 0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:05.480 they executed really well, no doubt. Let's talk about Dak 0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:07.760 Prescott last night. He was twenty four to thirty nine, 0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:10.640 sixty two percent completions, two hundred and seventy one yards, 0:09:10.679 --> 0:09:13.360 two touchdowns, no interceptions. He did have the one fumble, 0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:15.640 which was a turn for a touchdown, the only touchdown 0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:18.040 of the night for the Philadelphia Equals. And by the way, 0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:20.520 when you mentioned that about them not scoring a touchdown, 0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:23.560 it had been since twenty seventeen. That was the last 0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:26.240 time to them that Philadelphia and Dallas did to them. 0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:29.520 Then that Philadelphia didn't score an offensive touchdown in a game, 0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:32.800 that's a long streak. That's a very long streak. But 0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:35.520 Dallas shut it down last night. Deck did also have 0:09:35.559 --> 0:09:38.040 a ninety nine point four quarterback rating. 0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:39.360 How do you assess this play overall? 0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:42.280 I think the only mistake he made and he admitted 0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:44.680 it on the he got a little sloppy on the 0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:47.640 fumble and they're going to take a deep shot. Cooks 0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:51.840 his wide open and ch it's a touchdown and he. 0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:54.280 Tries to go back to it late and he drifted in. 0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:59.240 Now, Martin didn't exactly have you Cox lockdown, I mean, 0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:04.400 but Dak drifted into into Cocks, which made it difficult. 0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:05.560 That's why you get the sack. 0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:08.200 And as he's trying to unload the ball or trying 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:10.720 to set it up to launch it, that's where all 0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:12.800 of a sudden, when he gets hit, it's on the ground. 0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:15.520 So really the only mistake he talks about him not 0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:18.160 playing perfect, there were a couple of throws he'd probably 0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:20.959 like to have back with some guys that were open. 0:10:21.720 --> 0:10:24.800 There were you know, some missed some early in the game. 0:10:24.840 --> 0:10:26.480 I thought he threw the ball a little high. But 0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:30.199 many dial things back in. The things that he's really 0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:33.680 really getting so much better at is seeing an understanding 0:10:33.720 --> 0:10:36.600 pre snap though where he needs to go with the football. 0:10:36.679 --> 0:10:39.720 That throw he the throw he makes uh you know, 0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:42.200 to ferguson the one that goes. 0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:45.440 Up up the hash. I mean, he realizes that he's going. 0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:47.559 To get a drop linebacker there, and it's going to 0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:49.319 be and you know, when you when you get a 0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:53.360 drop linebacker that's not used to playing coverage, was really 0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:56.160 a defensive end that's playing as a linebacker that's dropping 0:10:56.160 --> 0:10:59.040 the coverage. He saw exactly what was going to happen there, 0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:00.800 and he says, well, you're going to match that guy 0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:02.560 up with that guy, Well, I'm gonna take a shot 0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:04.400 up the middle of the field. And that's exactly what 0:11:04.480 --> 0:11:07.440 he did. So his ability to read and understand what's 0:11:07.480 --> 0:11:11.760 ahead of him has improved so much. And the coaches 0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:14.440 are doing a great job with these combination routes of 0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:17.920 allowing routes to be run off other routes and it's 0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:20.080 given him some really, really good throws and he's taking 0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:21.040 advantage of that too. 0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:24.439 Yeah, dek Is, he's seeing the field like I mean, 0:11:24.480 --> 0:11:26.920 he's Bruce Lee right now. As far as being able 0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:32.000 to read defenses, reading zone, reading man handling blitz packages, he's. 0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:33.680 Just getting it all done. Now. Was it a perfect 0:11:33.679 --> 0:11:34.600 game for him, Not at all. 0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:38.680 We've seen more explosive production from Dak Prescott and took 0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:40.600 to Brian's point, in the first quarter, he was a 0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:43.640 bit uneven. There were some dots mixed with some high throws. 0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:46.040 That throw that was high to gallop. It was catchable, 0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:48.360 but it was high. But then the high throwing Ferguson 0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:51.120 across the middle that was not catchable, but he settled 0:11:51.160 --> 0:11:52.199 down and he settled. 0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:53.040 In really, really nicely. 0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:54.720 And then when you look at what he did with 0:11:54.760 --> 0:11:56.760 his legs as far as keeping them off balance, they 0:11:56.800 --> 0:11:59.600 were two big gainers on the ground with his legs. 0:11:59.640 --> 0:12:02.360 They were both delete it by penalties. So the Cowboys 0:12:02.400 --> 0:12:05.240 didn't get that production. But what it did do was 0:12:05.480 --> 0:12:07.560 keep that defense honest and say, hey, you know what, 0:12:07.600 --> 0:12:09.440 if not for that penalty, that would have been a 0:12:09.440 --> 0:12:11.360 big play. So it keeps it in their mind and 0:12:11.360 --> 0:12:13.360 they have to stay true and defend that as well. 0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:15.600 So going throughout the rest of the game they had to. 0:12:15.720 --> 0:12:18.120 And that, you know, accounting for that helped make the 0:12:18.160 --> 0:12:21.440 secondary that was already questionable for the Eagles that much 0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:23.760 more so over the course of the game. So he 0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:25.720 did it on the ground even when it didn't count 0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:26.560 because of penalties. 0:12:26.600 --> 0:12:27.559 He did it in the air. 0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:31.760 He didn't make many mistakes, only one mistake and he 0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:33.760 owned up to that one. You got to, you know, 0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:35.560 figure out how to get that ball out Quicker. That's 0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:38.520 a deep throw to Cooks. But then there were you know, 0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:41.320 a couple of mistakes by the receivers, like the deep 0:12:41.440 --> 0:12:44.160 left in coverage that's an absolute dot to see thee 0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:46.920 lamb hits them in the hands with the guy draped 0:12:46.960 --> 0:12:48.920 over him. That ball got in there one of the 0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:51.840 Lamb's drops. He wants to have that back. But then 0:12:52.040 --> 0:12:54.439 you see, you know, Cooks come up with that play 0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:58.640 Blitz that takes the hit, delivers it. Cooks thirty yards, 0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:00.440 gets it down to the one yard line. How boys 0:13:00.440 --> 0:13:03.079 punched that in So it wasn't perfect for Deck, but 0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:05.600 by all means, it was still an MVP caliber performance, 0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:07.480 especially when you look at who they were going up against. 0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:09.960 If he, by the way, if he wins the MVP award, 0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:12.040 the play they need to show everybody for when he 0:13:12.080 --> 0:13:15.559 accepts the award is the throw that he made to Ferguson. 0:13:15.640 --> 0:13:18.000 That was kind of a miracle catch when he's. 0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:23.600 Got Buyer just unblocked and I don't know how he 0:13:23.720 --> 0:13:25.360 got the ball over the top. 0:13:26.000 --> 0:13:27.760 I don't know how he got the top the ball 0:13:27.800 --> 0:13:28.600 over the top. 0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:31.160 Of him and then get it to Ferguson enough to 0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:35.000 allow Ferguson to even have a chance because Sidney Brown 0:13:35.120 --> 0:13:38.280 was in great coverage, and I you know, for that, 0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:40.720 that's that if you go back and we look at metrics, 0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:43.320 probably the most difficult throw that they're going to say 0:13:43.360 --> 0:13:45.640 that he made that game would be that one an 0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:47.680 n being a thirty two yard catch, And it just 0:13:47.720 --> 0:13:51.640 goes to show you the relationship that he and Ferguson have. 0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:54.679 He has that much trust in Ferguson that like, when 0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:59.160 he's facing a blitzing safety that is not accounted for, 0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:01.080 you know, it's like, Okay, I'm gonna throw the ball. 0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:03.880 That ball could have very easily been tipped knocked up 0:14:03.880 --> 0:14:06.400 in the air. Heck, Sidney Brown could have knocked it 0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:08.160 up in the air, but it was put in a 0:14:08.240 --> 0:14:12.440 really perfect spot, a difficult spot, and Ferguson came up 0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:13.600 with a huge, huge play. 0:14:13.720 --> 0:14:13.960 Yep. 0:14:15.280 --> 0:14:19.320 Yeah, not a perfect game, but expecting a perfect game 0:14:19.360 --> 0:14:22.760 every time it's a very unrealistic expectation to set on 0:14:22.800 --> 0:14:26.760 a quarterback. I think he's still checking all all boxes. 0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:30.479 He's checking out all every single box, and it's impressive 0:14:30.520 --> 0:14:35.040 and very cool to see. From the start of his career, 0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:38.280 his whole development and everything that we've kind of had 0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:41.240 to sit here and watch and talk about and discuss, 0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:45.040 you know, earlier on was him having to relied on 0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:49.040 those short passes. You never saw deep throw passes down 0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:52.240 the field, or him having to sit in the pocket 0:14:52.400 --> 0:14:54.040 second guess, you know, or trying to figure out what 0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:55.840 am I gonna do? Where am I gonna throw? And 0:14:55.880 --> 0:14:59.640 now none of that, like everything has changed. He's throwing 0:14:59.680 --> 0:15:02.960 that all so beautiful and so perfect all the way 0:15:03.000 --> 0:15:06.560 down the field. It happens so often now to where 0:15:06.800 --> 0:15:12.480 he's constantly connecting with the receivers and it's so in sync. 0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:16.640 It happens so quickly, so you're you're getting a Dak 0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:20.760 Presca that's mentally like you were saying, Patrick, he can 0:15:20.800 --> 0:15:25.000 read everything so quickly now and get rid of that 0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:29.040 ball so quickly, and it's just like everything in his mind, body, 0:15:29.120 --> 0:15:31.480 everything is just in perfect time in. 0:15:31.560 --> 0:15:32.240 For him right now. 0:15:32.320 --> 0:15:34.760 It's like Neo looking at the matrix. He's just seeing 0:15:34.800 --> 0:15:36.560 it's like ones and zeros for him. 0:15:36.640 --> 0:15:37.000 Right now. 0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:40.240 The game has slowed down so much for Dak Prescott. 0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:43.080 And you see it and last night and you can 0:15:43.080 --> 0:15:44.920 ask Nick Harris this because I kept saying I didn't 0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:47.760 realize I did until Harris pointed it out. But over 0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:51.040 the course of the game, you could almost tell when 0:15:51.120 --> 0:15:53.520 the when the timer went off in Deck's head in 0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:56.920 the pocket because at a certain point, it'd be like 0:15:57.120 --> 0:15:59.880 one point seventy five seconds, and you can tell he 0:15:59.920 --> 0:16:01.960 was about to go. He was not looking to stand 0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:04.440 in that pocket, not a moment longer than he needed to. 0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:06.440 He was looking to get out, extend plays and things 0:16:06.480 --> 0:16:09.000 like that and apply that extra pressure to the secondary 0:16:09.040 --> 0:16:11.720 and that passwords. So I mean, like you said, he's 0:16:11.760 --> 0:16:14.960 just seeing it in slow motion and he is only 0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:16.280 going to continue to get better. 0:16:16.320 --> 0:16:19.160 He's he's so comfortable with. 0:16:19.040 --> 0:16:22.240 Mike McCarthy's play callers, so comfortable with his weapons. Like 0:16:22.280 --> 0:16:24.800 that throw to Jake Ferguson making that throw. 0:16:24.840 --> 0:16:25.640 Who does that? 0:16:26.200 --> 0:16:28.360 I wouldn't have pulled that trigger he did, but that 0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:31.400 the amount of trust required to pull that trigger and 0:16:31.440 --> 0:16:33.960 then for Jake to reward him with a catch like that, 0:16:34.080 --> 0:16:36.000 and then yards after the catch like that. 0:16:36.560 --> 0:16:39.320 This offense is as special as the defense can be. 0:16:39.720 --> 0:16:40.760 Let's take our first break. 0:16:40.760 --> 0:16:42.880 When we come back, we'll talk a little bit about 0:16:42.880 --> 0:16:45.200 the rushing game and the offensive line and how they performed. 0:16:45.240 --> 0:16:47.000 We'll get to the defense a little bit here in 0:16:47.040 --> 0:16:49.240 the second and third segments.
