Speaker 1: as we get you ready for the Cowboys and Seahawks

00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:51,520
Speaker 1: coming up on Sunday afternoon. And you might notice there's

10
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: a little housekeeping we gotta get taken care of today

11
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 1: to start things off. We're not at nine thirty. We're

12
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: getting you early today. Nine fifteen is our new start

13
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: time on Thursdays and Fridays. The reason why there's a

14
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: head coach in the building, and the head coach does

15
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 1: what he wants whenever it comes to his timing of

16
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: his press conferences, and so we will be the ones

17
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: to adjust. We will move up to nine fifteen only

18
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 1: on Thursdays and Fridays will stay at nine thirty. For

19
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: all of those of you who like to watch live

00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: throughout the week Monday through Wednesday will stay at nine

21
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 1: thirty Thursday Friday, nine fifteen. But we are talking cowboys.

22
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: Kyle Yeoman's heck My Harrison, Rob Phillips and Isaiah stand back.

23
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: And I see Isaiah has updated the background. He's got

24
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: both jerseys up there. One of those I might be

25
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: wearing if Ezekiel Elliott doesn't go for one hundred all

26
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: purpose yards. But the other one, it's not gonna be

27
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: what Isaiah wears. I have a different thing in mine

28
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: that's on its way after I bought it on Amazon

29
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: yesterday that he could be sporting. Oh oh, I've got

30
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: I've got some mystery met Yeah, that's exactly what it is.

31
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: I ordered it, ordered it on Amazon esterday. I know

32
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: what you know. He's the bat now, Kyle. I know

33
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: we were going back and forth yesterday on Twitter about

34
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: whether or not it was whether or not it was

35
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: one hundred yards in total or a hundred yards rushing.

36
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: Remember you're scared, right, No, no, no, no, no, I'm

37
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: scared as I know you don't know who a stand

38
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: back in. We don't get scared, O your Kyle, your

39
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 1: original statement on the show yesterday. We can we can replay,

40
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 1: it was Zekiel Elli was gonna get a one hundred

41
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,639
Speaker 1: and fifty yards. I said, nah, he won't get a

42
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 1: hundred fifty yards rushing. You're like, yeah, he's gonna go

43
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: off and I said nah, I said he's Now, I say,

44
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 1: I don't see him getting a hundred yards rushing. Uh

45
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: in this game? Okay, because they're gonna be eight men

46
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 1: in the box, I said, they should be able to

47
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: throw the ball. And then later on on Twitter, I saw,

48
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: as we're having discussions with with some of our some

49
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: of our viewers, that you switched. You changed the verbiage

50
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: a little bit to change the verbiage to a hundred

51
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: yards total, not a hundred yards rushing. So I was

52
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: backing up on this. Are you backing up on this? Am?

53
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 1: I backing up on this. Neither way. I'm still gonna

54
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: make sounds like the either way, I'm gonna the bet.

55
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 1: But I do think the verbiage was one hundred yards,

56
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: not rushing yards. But you know what the fact of

57
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: the matter is, I do think Ezekiel Elliott will have

58
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 1: a hundred yards. Let us know in the comments to

59
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: all of those listening live, let us know if you

60
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: think Ezekiel Elliott versus this defense could get one hundred yards.

61
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: You look at the history of what he's been able

62
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: to do. He's had a ninety seven yard game, He's

63
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: had one hundred and twenty plus yard game. In two games,

64
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: he's had two hundred and twenty four yards and forty

65
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 1: carries against the Seattle defense. And that was the legion

66
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: of boom, not necessarily the legion of zoom, as in

67
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: zoom meetings, as in coronavirus, as in twenty nineteen, not

68
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: zooming to the football. This isn't the same defense. So

69
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: either way, I think Ezekiel Elliott has one hundred rushing

70
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: yards total on Sunday, that's fine, We'll change it to that. Yeah,

71
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: we'll change it to that. And that's the thing. The

72
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: Cowboys could win this game. And I still might be

73
00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: wearing a Seahawks jersey on Monday, but it's in Isaiah

74
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: stand back Seahawks jersey, So I guess that's fine. Now,

75
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: very tight. That'll be nice. Night's nice and tight like

76
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: a halter tip. I'm gonna have to work out all

77
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 1: three days this weekend. They get ready for it. One

78
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: of the big things though, yesterday coming out of the

79
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 1: Cowboys side of things as they enter into the week

80
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: is actually on the defensive side of the football, and

81
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 1: we've talked a lot about the coverage in a secondary

82
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 1: against these Seattle wide receivers, and so I don't want

83
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: to go too far into this, but Rob yesterday something

84
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: very encouraging finally on an injury front, as Trayvon Diggs

85
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 1: was participating in practice. He was a full participant, and

86
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: really a lot of optimism even on that defensive side

87
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: of the football for Tank Lawrence heading into the weekend

88
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 1: as well. Rob, Yeah, we've got some good news, right

89
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 1: I think Diggs I don't. I don't think there was

90
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,039
Speaker 1: ever that much concern about it. But as they brought

91
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: up a good point, you never want a rookie starter

92
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: not practicing during the week, but obviously they felt like

93
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: you needed a day of you have and with a

94
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: full practice they don't. They don't practice on Friday. They've

95
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,840
Speaker 1: got that regeneration day today and then have a short

96
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 1: practice on Saturday. But also looks like all systems go there.

97
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 1: Tank Lawrence did the rehab yesterday with the the knee injury,

98
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 1: and Tyrann Smith Mike McCarthy was on the fan this

99
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: morning and said, if he could do something on Saturday,

100
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: he's got a shot to play. So it looks like,

101
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: oh optimism for three top guys they're they're counting on

102
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 1: on Sunday hopefully, How big of a shot and injury report, man,

103
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 1: how big of a shot in the arm would that knee? Heck? Though,

104
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 1: if the three those three guys were on the injury

105
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: report but are able to play this weekend, I mean

106
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: that we need him. That's that's the bottom line, And

107
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure that's a falsil long freak out

108
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,359
Speaker 1: for all of Cowboy Nation once we saw Digs on

109
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 1: the injury report. So it's really good to hear that

110
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 1: he did get those reps in. But I agree with

111
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: Isaiah on that. Man, you never like to see a

112
00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 1: rookie who definitely needs to get every rep that that's

113
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 1: available to him, especially this week with the assignment that

114
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 1: he's gonna have with DK. Isaiah is at the same

115
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: feeling that you get is if you get these guys

116
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: back all of a sudden, your chances of closing the

117
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 1: gap on what is a favorable Seahawks team is starting

118
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: to close. I don't think so. I think I think

119
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 1: this is gonna be and this is gonna be a shootout.

120
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: You know, I think, you know, it's always I think

121
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: every time we say it's going to be a shootout,

122
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: I believe that ends up being a low scoring defensive

123
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 1: game somehow, some way. But I do believe this is

124
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 1: gonna be a shootout. I'm not impressed by either defense

125
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 1: right now. Honestly, I'm impressed by Seattle's offense. And I mean,

126
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 1: and obviously Dallas has the potential to be a very

127
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 1: dangerous offense. UM. They were able to put up crazy

128
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: yards last week just because of the situation they were in. UM,

129
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 1: but both offenses are potent. UM, it's really gonna you know,

130
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 1: we have to wait and see what these defenses show

131
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: up and do so in Diggs being in their digs,

132
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: not being in their digs. Wasn't that that big of

133
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: an impact last week against the number one receiver in

134
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: the league. So it's kind of hard to match that up. UM.

135
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: You know, there there is a drop off with DK

136
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: and lock It, but it's a you know, DK is

137
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: a lot more physical receiver than Julio is. So that's

138
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: where I see the issue being with Digs being on

139
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: injury report, not on an injury port. It really doesn't matter.

140
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: If he steps out there and tries to press against DK,

141
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: it might represent some problems. This is why Kyle, I

142
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: think maybe you're gonna be wearing that standback jersey because

143
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 1: if it come on Rob, we already know where if

144
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: it if it is a track meet, if it is

145
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: a shootout, They're gonna try to keep Zeke involved. But

146
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: if the Cowboys can't fall behind by double digits again

147
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: and expect Zeke to be to eat and be Zeke,

148
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: Zeke's always gonna be capable of eating. But I just

149
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: wonder if it's going to be that type of game

150
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: for him. We'll just have to see. I mean, the

151
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: Cowboys wanted to be they want to ride him all

152
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: throughout the second half, but but it's going to depend

153
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: on how well they can try to contain Russell Wilson.

154
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: I don't say stop him, contain him because he's gonna

155
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: make plays well. And you also look at the lack

156
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: of effectiveness that he's had in the passing game again

157
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: Seattle in the past, and I really do think he'll

158
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: have an uptick in that as well as the yardage.

159
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: And he's had the rushing yards. I already mentioned the

160
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: stat to twenty four on forty carries, but he's only

161
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: had seven receptions for thirty two yards in those two

162
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 1: games as well, so he hasn't necessarily been a factor

163
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 1: when it comes to catching the football out of the

164
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: backfield and being that checkdown option. I think that's gonna

165
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: come a lot this week in twenty eighteen. We also

166
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: have to say that he had that illegal touching penalty

167
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:35,079
Speaker 1: that negated a touchdown. So yeah, so we got to

168
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: kind of clue that in the numbers as well. But look, man,

169
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 1: I anticipate Zeke havin a big game. But Rob, I

170
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: want to ask you how much credence did you give

171
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: to Jaylen Smith saying the defense is going to be

172
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: a simplified version of the of the defense going into Seattle. Yeah,

173
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: that one, And it started with with Mike McCarthy's press

174
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 1: conference yesterday where he was asked about, you know, mistakes

175
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,439
Speaker 1: and mental errors and he said, we had way too

176
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: many on defense throughout the entire team and maybe we

177
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: need to scale some things back. To me that that

178
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 1: was a little different than what what Mike Nolan said

179
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 1: earlier in the week that they haven't really used all

180
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 1: of their capabilities on defense because they're trying to you know,

181
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 1: supplement as they go because of the lack of time

182
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 1: on the field. So I don't know which one it is,

183
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, I mean, I think, but

184
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,439
Speaker 1: I think J Jalen did say to your point that

185
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: a smaller playbook might help, might give guys because maybe

186
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: they're asking guys to just try to do a little

187
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: bit too much. Just the volume of trying to put

188
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: this all together on the fly has got to be difficult.

189
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: And I think we've said it throughout the week. They

190
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,599
Speaker 1: need to try to just keep getting better weeks and

191
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: the week, and maybe simplifying it a little bit will help.

192
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: Everson Griffin was on with us a couple days ago

193
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: and said, i'm a said, I'm a three point man. Okay,

194
00:09:56,120 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: I'm a I'm a three point stance guy. And that's

195
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:01,959
Speaker 1: that's one way to simplify it for one of your

196
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: defensive linemen is if they're not comfortable in a certain stance,

197
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: let them let them do what they're comfortable with. And

198
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: maybe that's going to help from a technique standpoint, because

199
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,079
Speaker 1: I think I think when when you have that two

200
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: point stance, as I understand it, you know, it helps

201
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:17,559
Speaker 1: with your eyes, it helps you read what's on going

202
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: in the backfield, but maybe your technique suffers a little

203
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: bit and you're not you're not as in tune with

204
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: certain misdirection plays or things of that nature. So so Rob,

205
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,679
Speaker 1: it sounds like you and Hecker are starting to kind

206
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: of insinuate that there might be a little bit of

207
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 1: discontent within this defense right now, within this organization, because

208
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 1: what it sounds like is that you're getting mixed reports.

209
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: And Mike Nolan, we know what he wants to do.

210
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,559
Speaker 1: He wants to go out there and fly by fly

211
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: by his waist man. But then you have you know,

212
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: he's he's forcing these guys that be in this stand

213
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 1: up you know, stand up start. But then you also

214
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 1: have you know, his guys coming out and saying that

215
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: they really want to be in a three point stance.

216
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: I don't do this stand up stuff. That's that's really

217
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,680
Speaker 1: what that's really the translation. And then you have Mike

218
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: McCarthy and jas minnisaying that they're going to scale back.

219
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 1: So it sounds like there's a lot of things that

220
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: are going on. You're starting you're starting to hear a

221
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 1: little some guys that are unhappy and then not pleased

222
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 1: with the positions that are defensive schemes that are being

223
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: out there. I'm just saying, how please help us. Okay,

224
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 1: here we go, Isaiah. I know, I know you're coming

225
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: from a certain specific area in this regard, and I

226
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 1: know you're trying to stir up things. You're stating facts. Sure,

227
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,199
Speaker 1: there's a lot of mixed reports that have come over

228
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: the long period of time. There's this thing that I

229
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 1: know Cowboys fans haven't been used to over period of times,

230
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,559
Speaker 1: at least especially over the last ten years. But it's

231
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:40,839
Speaker 1: called a thing called in season adjustments. In season adjustments,

232
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: when things don't go your way, let's figure out a

233
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,199
Speaker 1: way to make it go your way. In the past,

234
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 1: we've had coaching staff that goes into a scheme and

235
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: falls into a scheme. Hold up, heck, I'm not done yet, sir.

236
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: Whenever we get who I'm about to say, here's the thing.

237
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy talked about it this morning on the fan

238
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 1: as well, and he talked about the two point versus

239
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 1: three point stance, and he said, sure, we're gonna scale

240
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: it back a little bit, We're gonna go really with

241
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 1: what our players want to do. And if that's first

242
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,199
Speaker 1: and second down, going out of a two point stance

243
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 1: because there's more motion on the lines scrimmage, there's more

244
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: to get your eyes on, there's more to look at.

245
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: And then on third down, getting in that three point

246
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,959
Speaker 1: stance and letting the dogs go after the quarterback and

247
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: put pressure on an opposing offense. That's what's gonna happen.

248
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: It doesn't have to be a set in stone system.

249
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,559
Speaker 1: You have to fit to our system. I'm Mike Nolan.

250
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: This is how you're gonna do it, just to the players,

251
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 1: and I think that's what the Cowboys are doing now

252
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 1: and they've seen that through the first two weeks of

253
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,839
Speaker 1: the season. There's my thank you for coming into my

254
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: tax I mean, yeah, yeah, you pose a great valid point.

255
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's valid, but I'll respect your

256
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 1: opinion that valid. McCarthy said it, so so as I'm

257
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: just saying, as a defensive coordinator that Mike McCarthy appointed,

258
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 1: who was a defensive coordinator, irrest Hey, Mike McCarthy appointed

259
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: a dude by the name of Mike known and as

260
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: a defensive coordinator right, rob correct. Okay. So he's in

261
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,559
Speaker 1: charge of everything that happens on his defense, correct, yeah, correct, Okay,

262
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:13,719
Speaker 1: So he put he put forth the system that he

263
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: wants to implement on this defense. Correct, regardless of what

264
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 1: guys are used to doing, regardless of what guys are

265
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 1: comfortable are doing, this is the defense we're running, correct, correct, Okay, okay, okay.

266
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: And through these first two games, now you're starting to

267
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 1: hear discontent with the players as to running the system

268
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: that he really wants to run because we haven't seen

269
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:33,679
Speaker 1: we have not seen a bunch of coverages. We have

270
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 1: not seen a bunch of blitzes. We have not seen

271
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:37,719
Speaker 1: a bunch of different looks in terms of the D

272
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,439
Speaker 1: line and a different personnel groupings. We have seen pretty

273
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 1: basic defense. And so you're hearing now the head coach saying, Hey,

274
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 1: we're gonna scale back from a basic system that we're

275
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,199
Speaker 1: already or running. We're already not doing the things that

276
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:49,679
Speaker 1: Mike known On wants to do, so we're gonna we're

277
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 1: gonna pull back even more. Oh and by the way,

278
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:53,959
Speaker 1: now players are starting to come out and say, man,

279
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: this this two point thing, this ain't for me. I'm

280
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: a three point guy, I'm just saying those are little

281
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: things to start brewing. They start brewing, Isaiah, you've heard

282
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 1: the term, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. What's broke,

283
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 1: So you gotta fix it. And fall is a game

284
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: of adjustments, and you have to make those. Yeah, you

285
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: have to make those adjustments. And if it comes down

286
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: to playing to a guy's strength, whether it be three

287
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: point two point, whatever that is, you have got to

288
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 1: let your dogs do what they do back hunt and

289
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: we look you of all people know that, and so

290
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 1: we're gonna make those adjustments. All the defense because if

291
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: they're looking at the at the tape in the film

292
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 1: of those past games, they realize that there are a

293
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 1: lot of blown assignments and miscommunication. I e. The Atlanta

294
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: game where they're tight end just pretty much walked into

295
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: the end zone and that was a miscommunication. Clearly, they're

296
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: trying to fix those screen problems that they had against

297
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 1: LA because they know they're getting gashed for those big plays.

298
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 1: So the defense and Mike Nolan, I'm sure he's just

299
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: trying to put these guys in the best place to

300
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 1: do to make those plays. But if they don't do

301
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: it after he said, fies and and dumbs down, not

302
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: when they dumped down and dolls it down. On the defense,

303
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 1: he's gonna rip these guys a new orfice. So just

304
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 1: know that he's gonna give it. He's putting them in position,

305
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: but they have got to prove that they're ready to

306
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 1: take that next step as a defense. I agree, Hey,

307
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 1: I agree, I just I agree. I just put it

308
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: out there. I'm just putting out some facts. I know

309
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 1: Cole doesn't like when I throw that out there. That's

310
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: not a fact though, because it's not a fact, it's

311
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: just a weird observation. They tried it, Mike, mister Nolan's

312
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 1: way right now, they're trying get the player's way correct

313
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 1: and if it doesn't work, Hick, what happens, They gonna

314
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: rip them. It's gonna rip them. But that is part

315
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 1: of it. That's part of Mike Nolan's job though, right

316
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 1: Like if it's not where if a player is not comfortable,

317
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 1: and look Jalen said yesterday, we're all on the same

318
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: page here. It's just part of discussion on Okay, what's

319
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: not working. Some of it is very simple corrections like

320
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: pre snap pre snap alignments, like got guy's just not

321
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 1: in the right spot pre snap and so but I'm

322
00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: with you, Isaiah, I don't think. I don't think it's

323
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 1: been crazy complex what we've seen on film. Um. But

324
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 1: that that being said, we're only five weeks since training

325
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 1: camp and you're you're you're absolute correct. I'm just saying

326
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: as a former player, I just I know how much

327
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 1: you hold back the things that you want to say, um,

328
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: to protect the team. So if I was out there

329
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 1: and I was playing for the Cowboys right now and

330
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 1: I say, hey, I don't I'm a I'm a go

331
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: route runner. I don't run. I don't run over routes,

332
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 1: cats would be like, what you know what I'm saying that.

333
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that that's how it comes across. Yeah.

334
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: But there, but there are given players, you know, options

335
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 1: to do. I know Tom's Jim Tom sewell d line coach.

336
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: He was asked in camp about Tank being in the

337
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 1: two point stance. He said, look, I never I never

338
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: told him to do it. We gave him the option

339
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 1: and said how did you try it around? See see

340
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 1: what you think? And I guess he liked it. But

341
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 1: if it's affecting certain things pre snapper then maybe you

342
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 1: need to go back to what you're coupled with. I

343
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 1: don't think there's any problem problem with that, um and

344
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 1: and the thing about it is like they've had they've

345
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,400
Speaker 1: had drives where they've been productive late in the game,

346
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 1: and I think there is some things to build on,

347
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 1: but overall it's just there's just been it's been too

348
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,159
Speaker 1: sloppy in points. Yeah, and they got to get back

349
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:14,679
Speaker 1: to that. And man, we we've talked about it. They

350
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 1: got to get pressure. However, whatever stand you want, one, two, three, four,

351
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: five points stand get some pressure on Russell Wilson. Sunday

352
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: he stands. And in the comments section, our boy g

353
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 1: made a very fantastic point. Whenever we're looking at the

354
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,399
Speaker 1: defense and we're really upset about the fact that they

355
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 1: gave up thirty nine points against Atlanta, really the offense

356
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 1: spot at them twenty four. They really gave up the

357
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:40,679
Speaker 1: majority of the offense, or they give up the majority

358
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 1: of the points off of turnovers, and really, uh, right

359
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the game, and they spot on

360
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,160
Speaker 1: them twenty to start and then a couple points later

361
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 1: on in the game. So really the defense had some

362
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 1: some positive things. Like Rob just said, heading out of

363
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 1: that Atlanta game. But you're gonna you've got a tough

364
00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 1: task on your hand going into Russell Wilson and VP

365
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: Caliber Russ at the moment in terms of what he's

366
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 1: doing on that side of the football. When we come back,

367
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:08,160
Speaker 1: we're gonna look at the offensive side. Can blocking help

368
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 1: this offense from a non offensive line perspective? And should

369
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 1: there be improvement in that regard. We're going to debate

370
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,440
Speaker 1: about it and continue on when we come back. You're

Speaker 1: But that's where we are right now. We're in segment

412
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,879
Speaker 1: number two. Glad you're with us here on Dallas Cowboys

413
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 1: dot com. And two more things We mentioned that Mike

414
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: McCarthy interview is actual a very well done interview from

415
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: a Sean and RJ's side of things. On the one

416
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: of five point three the fan the flagship of the Cowboys,

417
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:11,119
Speaker 1: and uh, they asked him the question about Tank. They said, hey,

418
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 1: what do you think about Tank? And where is he

419
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 1: at in his progression and Mike McCarthy. His response goes,

420
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 1: who who is who is Tank? And they were like

421
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 1: tank Tank Lawrence. To Marcus Lawrence, he goes, that's his nickname.

422
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,159
Speaker 1: It's Tank Lawrence. That's he was like, where did that

423
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 1: come from? He was like, back in my day, they

424
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 1: had two nicknames for everybody, so I didn't even learn them.

425
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,360
Speaker 1: So I just thought that was interesting that the head

426
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,159
Speaker 1: coach did not know that it's Tank Lawrence and and

427
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: that's the that go to. That was definitely a bit

428
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: of sarcasm right there. I know he's he straight up

429
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:49,160
Speaker 1: did not know. Yeah, it was I really don't think.

430
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: I absolutely don't think you knew either that or can

431
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 1: we go give him impossible? Can we go give him

432
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,639
Speaker 1: an oscar? Like can we go give Mike McCarthy an

433
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 1: oscar for a radio interview? Because it like if it

434
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 1: wasn't real and he didn't or he did know and

435
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 1: he faked it. He tricked me pretty well. I listened

436
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 1: to the whole thing, and I don't think he had it.

437
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,639
Speaker 1: He also he also talked about the fumbling in the

438
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:14,879
Speaker 1: first half in the first quarter of the game yesterday.

439
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:16,400
Speaker 1: They asked him, what do you do as a coach,

440
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 1: what's the first thing you say to your players, Because

441
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 1: you can't really say, hey, hold onto the ball a

442
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 1: little bit more of their guys. You can't necessarily coach

443
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 1: him up that way. He said, two things is all

444
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 1: I can do as a coach, And it's really the

445
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 1: same throughout the game. He said, I could say really

446
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 1: bad words and I can pray. And that's the two

447
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 1: ways that Mike McCarthy handled the first quarter situation on

448
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,639
Speaker 1: Sunday against the Falcons. But moving into Seattle week and

449
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 1: we're looking at really ways that this offense can improve.

450
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 1: They found a rhythm, especially in that second half against

451
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 1: Atlanta on Sunday. But one of the things that has

452
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,919
Speaker 1: been sticking out to me on film is blocking outside

453
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 1: of the offensive lineman. You've got Blake Bell. You've got

454
00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:01,680
Speaker 1: Blake Jarwin or excuse me, Dalton Schultznoble Jarwin, and you've

455
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 1: also got Ceedee Lamb and Ezekiel Elliott. And really, from

456
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: a Zeke standpoint, we'll start with him first. He saw

457
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 1: a much larger role in terms of protecting Dak Prescott

458
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 1: in the passing game instead of maybe being a part

459
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 1: of the passing game like he was a couple of

460
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 1: weeks ago, or at least in week one of the season.

461
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,120
Speaker 1: But heckmo, when you look at this offense, how much

462
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,880
Speaker 1: of a huge and crucial role is it that Ezekiel

463
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 1: Elliot's able to block some of those linebackers. I think

464
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 1: that's one of his strong suits. I think, other than

465
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 1: I think he missed Dion Jones barely last weekend, he

466
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 1: was able to hit Dak's arm and deflect the pass.

467
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,160
Speaker 1: But I think that's always been one of the Ezekiel

468
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:48,360
Speaker 1: Elliot's strong suits. And look, with two undrafted free agents

469
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 1: at tackle, you're gonna have to give this offensive line

470
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 1: as much help as you can. And whether that be

471
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 1: chipping guys are taking on a linebacker, I definitely trust

472
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 1: Zeke in that responsibility. Yeah, absolutely correct, heck that he

473
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 1: has to do that in this position right now. Until

474
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 1: you get your dogs back in Smith and Collins, most

475
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 1: of those guys get back, he'll have the ability. He'll

476
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 1: be enabled to be able to get out and to

477
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 1: run some routes on some of these linebackers, wrestling swing routes,

478
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:17,919
Speaker 1: do some isolation type plays. But until then, he has

479
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 1: to sit in there. He has to chip and this week,

480
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 1: he has to lick out for that one Jamal Adams

481
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:24,879
Speaker 1: that's gonna be coming down and coming off the edge

482
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: because he will blitz probably at least three to four

483
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:30,920
Speaker 1: times this game. Yeah. Absolutely, And from the tight end perspective,

484
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: you know, Blake Bell was signed in part because he's

485
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 1: he's a good in line blocker. Dalton Schultz can do

486
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 1: some h back stuff, but you can pretty much move

487
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 1: him anywhere. So I think that's we saw them helping

488
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:42,640
Speaker 1: in the run game in the second half. I thought

489
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 1: also pass blocking, helping on those edges and Zeke, you know,

490
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 1: Marshall falk Is his idol, you know, growing up in

491
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,160
Speaker 1: Saint Louis. That's the guy he tried to pattern himself after.

492
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,119
Speaker 1: A complete player. And you know, when he's not in

493
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 1: the running back meetings, if the other running backs are

494
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 1: in special teams meetings, he goes and hang out in

495
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 1: the other skill position rooms, quarterback room, trying to you know,

496
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 1: merge everybody's thoughts together in terms of what his assignments

497
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 1: are to try to help in some of those blocking situations.

498
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,400
Speaker 1: So it's he's one of the best in the league

499
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 1: at it. That's it's it's part. It's one thing people

500
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 1: probably don't talk about enough why he's a top, you

501
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,400
Speaker 1: know whatever, two three running back in the league, because

502
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 1: he really can do it all. And I think I'm

503
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:27,360
Speaker 1: really looking forward to that, to that matchup though, I know, Kyle,

504
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 1: I'm really looking forward to Jamal Adams coming down hot

505
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 1: and hot from the safety position coming in and Zeke

506
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 1: and him just colliding. It's gonna be like two dog

507
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 1: on rams hitting each other. I'm looking forward to seeing

508
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 1: that well when we saw it last year in the

509
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:41,679
Speaker 1: New York Jets game as well. But you also got

510
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 1: to add Bobby Wagner into that mix as well. I

511
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,639
Speaker 1: think there's two guys that Ezekiel Elliot's gonna have to

512
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: go up against in terms of blocking. He tried to

513
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: do so in Week one against a certain Aaron Donald

514
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 1: and that ended up becoming a viral video instead. Do

515
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 1: you think he took maybe some exception to that, the

516
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 1: fact that he was tossed around by Aaron Donald and

517
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,399
Speaker 1: the video went vinyl? And then he came back. He

518
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 1: had a much better blocking week in Week two than

519
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 1: he did in Week one, and now he gets a

520
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 1: chance to go up against another dog. Hey, when Jack

521
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: Martin gets tossed around two exactly. I mean that's what

522
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,120
Speaker 1: he does. There's there's just there's some there's just there's

523
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,120
Speaker 1: just some physical specimens in this world, the same way

524
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 1: that we talk about DK mecals and physical specimen. Uh,

525
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 1: it's the same thing with a with Aaron Donald, he's

526
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 1: just not human. I don't know where he was. He

527
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:35,959
Speaker 1: wasn't born, he was created. When you get disrespected by

528
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,200
Speaker 1: somebody like that, you just chop it up to the game, like, hey,

529
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 1: he is what he is. That's that dude. There's nothing

530
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 1: you can physically do. Hey, Kyle, you gotta go back

531
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 1: and watch a guy by the name of Reggie White.

532
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 1: He has one arm, three hundred and twenty pound offensive

533
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,360
Speaker 1: linemen off their feet. So because maybe take any exception

534
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 1: to that, that's just God just created some guy stronger

535
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 1: than others. And that's really what we saw. And Zeke

536
00:26:58,119 --> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 1: had to go up against him. But on the other side,

537
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,679
Speaker 1: really the outside ceedee Lamb. There were a couple plays

538
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 1: where the blocking and the physicality that we saw on

539
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 1: film at Oklahoma at the college level didn't necessarily translating.

540
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 1: It came back to bite the Cowboys a couple of

541
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 1: times on Sunday, And I really like what Ceedee Lamb

542
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 1: brings to the table as a blocker. I just haven't

543
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 1: seen it yet, Isaiah. When you're a new wide receiver

544
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,920
Speaker 1: in the NFL, is that one of the tougher things

545
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 1: to adjust to is actually finding a way to provide

546
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:32,119
Speaker 1: some blocking on the outside. It's definitely something that you

547
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,119
Speaker 1: have to pick up. And you have to remember when

548
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 1: he left. When he left college, he was confident as

549
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 1: all get out. So there was nothing on the field

550
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 1: that was taking place that he didn't feel fully one

551
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 1: hundred confident in. Now you're stepping into the NFL and

552
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 1: these are all grown men and CD is actually substantially

553
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,119
Speaker 1: smaller and a lot more leaner than I than I

554
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:55,119
Speaker 1: imagine that he would be. So he looks pretty pretty frail,

555
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 1: has nest no indictment on his actual overall strength. I

556
00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 1: don't know how strong Hee is, but I mean these

557
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 1: dudes he's going in there trying to block. Now, there

558
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 1: there's some dudes and they lift weights for a living.

559
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,159
Speaker 1: They actually get paid to do so, now it's not

560
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 1: just a class that they have to go to. So

561
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:12,399
Speaker 1: you know, it takes a special mindset to do. So

562
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 1: you know, you think about guys like hines Ward. Hines

563
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 1: Ward was not the most physically imposing guy. He wasn't

564
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 1: the most athletic human being in the world. But guess

565
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 1: what his mentality was to go in there, I'm gonna

566
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 1: knock your head off, right, So you have to you

567
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 1: have to develop that. And once you developed that, then

568
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:29,160
Speaker 1: he could add that to his game at this level,

569
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:31,160
Speaker 1: and then all the other things that he does will

570
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,359
Speaker 1: open up. What do you think his confidence level is

571
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 1: right now? Isaiah? Just one hundred yard game in his

572
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 1: second game, I'm already said yesterday his second game of

573
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 1: his career. He had one hundred yard game, and it really,

574
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 1: you know, kind of elevated his confidence. I mean, and

575
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 1: Dak going to him, you know, in a late situation

576
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 1: like that to try to go win the game. I mean,

577
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 1: that's he might be ahead of schedule, you know, in

578
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 1: terms of what he could do for this offense. Yeah,

579
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 1: I think they're finding ways to get him the ball,

580
00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 1: and I think that he's you can see his swag

581
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 1: start to him last week. You know, he did his

582
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 1: little snotty nose whatever that was, you know, so he

583
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 1: you know, he's getting more confident. But you know, but

584
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 1: there are the other elements of this game. You know,

585
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 1: he should going into this game. He should be confident

586
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 1: coming off of that game. And also the fact that

587
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 1: he's the matchup that he's probably going to have. He

588
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 1: should be able to take care of that um at

589
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 1: a relatively easy, you know, easy level. But you know,

590
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 1: the other aspects that you guys brought up, the blocking

591
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 1: and things of that nature, that's going to be required

592
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 1: to really, uh, you know, initiate this game the way

593
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 1: in which the Cowboys want to. He's gonna have to

594
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 1: get dig in there and dig out Jamal Adams. He's

595
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 1: going to get in there and get KG right sometimes.

596
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 1: So he's gonna have to get physical. And you know,

597
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:39,959
Speaker 1: that's the aspect that he really has to become more

598
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 1: confident in. You know. And one of the things you

599
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 1: mentioned this is so picky on my side. This is

600
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 1: such a picky thing when when it comes to football.

601
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 1: I know some fans will agree here though. And the

602
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 1: fact that the little snot thing that that that cde

603
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 1: Lamb did. I liked the swagger. I like the fact

604
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 1: that he did it, but I like the fact that

605
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 1: he only does it in a big moment and it

606
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 1: may change. He may start doing it every time he

607
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 1: catches a first down, and that's cool, that's fine. Zeke

608
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 1: does it. You see Jaylen Smith swipe every time he

609
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 1: makes a tackle after like a four yard game, it's fine.

610
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 1: But whenever Ceedee Lamb does it, he only has done

611
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 1: it once and it was in a massive part of

612
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 1: the football game where he made a huge catch and

613
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 1: a huge moment, and that's where the swagger was. Once

614
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 1: he did it, it was like, Okay, here we go.

615
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 1: It wasn't a oh, there's Ceede Lamb doing his thing again.

616
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 1: That was a we're feeling it right now. Let's roll

617
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 1: where the Dallas Cowboys and we're about to make this

618
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 1: comeback happen. So I kind of respected that you you were,

619
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 1: you were feeling that way. You were feeling that way

620
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 1: about CD before the game even started. We know you

621
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 1: be before the game even started. He had got I

622
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 1: gotta get me a T shirt? Can we make some

623
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 1: of those Cowboys pro shot by the way of the

624
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 1: new shirt Cowboys pro shot? But I just want to

625
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 1: make sure and plug them so we can get some

626
00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 1: Seede Lamb shirts. But one really that's that's that's thank you.

627
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 1: Thank you. I've got your back coming for you. I

628
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 1: forgot to take his bag yesterday. I feel really bad

629
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 1: about it. Um okay, how convenient. Now I do have

630
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 1: a really good stat for you. When it comes to

631
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb, he mentioned how it's his first one hundred

632
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 1: yard game. Of course, Uh, he's tied for the fastest

633
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 1: Cowboy rookie receiver to ever have a hundred yard game.

634
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 1: It only took two games for him. Mean that tied

635
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 1: franchise record. The other guy who did it and Rob,

636
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 1: you may be the only one that knows this name.

637
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 1: Heckma might know this name, Isaiah. I know you don't

638
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 1: know this name, Cornell Burbage. Have you ever heard that

639
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 1: name Cornell Burbage? I don't I have, oh, Rob Okay

640
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 1: Rob nineteen eighty seven, He went for three receptions one

641
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 1: hundred and ten yards as a replacement player in the

642
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 1: lockout season against Philadelphia. For the rest of his career,

643
00:31:56,160 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 1: he played two seasons, had sixteen receptions one hundred and

644
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 1: ninety yards. He had one game where he went off

645
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 1: for three for one ten and it was his second

646
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 1: career game. Hopefully, Ceedee Lamb doesn't fit that same fate

647
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 1: completely different scenarios, But it is just kind of an

648
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 1: interesting stat that the only other guy to do it

649
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 1: other than Ceedee Lamb is Cornell Burbage in Cornell Bourbage. Yeah,

650
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: that's the first Cornell Burbage I think this show has

651
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 1: ever had in its entirety. But we're gonna take a

Speaker 1: continue on here in the final show before the Cowboys

695
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 1: take on the c Seahawks coming up this Sunday, three

696
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 1: twenty five. Joe Buck Troy Aikman on the call on Fox.

697
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:08,719
Speaker 1: It'll be a fun one regardless, and I think it'll

698
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:12,719
Speaker 1: be extremely high scoring. I think both defenses are suspect.

699
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 1: I think both offenses are pretty fantastic, and I think

700
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a race to forty ultimately. But send

701
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 1: us your predictions. We're about to give our own, but

702
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:25,280
Speaker 1: here's some fan predictions. Initially, our guy John Leacrace says,

703
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 1: and I love this prediction. Two quarterbacks combined for nine

704
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 1: hundred total yards of offense. Cowboys win thirty four thirty

705
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 1: one Rob has some exception to that. What Rob kind

706
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,880
Speaker 1: of with Isaiah. Yeah, when we think it's gonna be

707
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:44,440
Speaker 1: these video game numbers, it never seems to be. Now,

708
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 1: remember the Saints game with the Cowboys a couple of

709
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,279
Speaker 1: years ago. Saints are gonna put fifty on them, and

710
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 1: I think they had like seventeen. Now I'm with you,

711
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna score points, but you know it's

712
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 1: not gonna be first to sixty m first to say, oh,

713
00:35:57,520 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 1: he said thirty four thirty one. He didn't even give

714
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:02,320
Speaker 1: anybody forty burger, which is now supposed to be the

715
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 1: norm around these parts. Dallas thirty one, Seattle twenty eight.

716
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 1: That comes from Carter looking down the list a little

717
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 1: bit here. Cowboys thirty seven, Seahawks thirty five. That's from

718
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 1: at we Making Noise, so a fun one there from

719
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 1: we Make a Noise a two point win in a

720
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 1: very odd score. West Oak Lane gives us thirty one,

721
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:28,439
Speaker 1: twenty four. Cowboys. Our guy Tom says, Cowboys twenty seven,

722
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:30,840
Speaker 1: twenty three. There's a lot of Cowboys picks here, guys.

723
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:34,239
Speaker 1: I know you're Cowboys fans, but are we Are we

724
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 1: being realistic here and keep sending in those predictions. But

725
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 1: we're gonna go to Heckma here first, and he's gonna

726
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 1: start us off Heckma, can the Cowboys get a win?

727
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:47,279
Speaker 1: And do you agree with the assessment that some of

728
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 1: the listeners have been throwing out there right now? Well,

729
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 1: first of all, let's talk about our standings as a show, right, Okay,

730
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 1: you're the only one that's two And no, I wasn't

731
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:02,839
Speaker 1: gonna brack right, but Iah, no, no, I just want

732
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:05,239
Speaker 1: to bring up no, I want to bring up facts here.

733
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 1: I want to ease into this. Isaiah. You're one in one,

734
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:12,759
Speaker 1: all right? And Rob is one in one? What is

735
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:19,200
Speaker 1: Rob one in one? Yeah? Everybody's one and one except okay? Cool? Well, look,

736
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 1: you know you know, and I'm gonna have to say

737
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:23,840
Speaker 1: it playing and say it with my chest. Now you know,

738
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 1: I'm going with the Cowboys in this game, and I'm

739
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 1: gonna start with the fact that Amari Cooper should be

740
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:34,359
Speaker 1: one pissed off individual. And I'll tell you why. Going

741
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:37,960
Speaker 1: into this game, everyone's talking about DK mccalf and I understand,

742
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 1: eight catches, one hundred and eighty seventy yards, he's a

743
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 1: big play machine. But I'm sorry this this guy a

744
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 1: Mary Cooper is just quietly going about his business one

745
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 1: more time. Sixteen sixteen excuse me? Yeah, sixteen catches for

746
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:54,840
Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty one yards. Half of those catches

747
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 1: are moving the chains. And he is the guy that

748
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:02,280
Speaker 1: we know has the big playability in this Cowboys office.

749
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:04,439
Speaker 1: His foot, you know, he said now this week he's

750
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:07,520
Speaker 1: running full speed because his foot is feeling better. He

751
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 1: has an opportunity versus this Seahawks secondary to really take

752
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:13,759
Speaker 1: the top off of it. And I think that's gonna

753
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 1: make the difference in this game, is what Amari Cooper

754
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:20,160
Speaker 1: does against Griffin on the outside because you know they

755
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 1: can't get him any help. And uh, I say, the

756
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 1: Cowboys win this game. Twenty seven Cowboys thirty five, twenty seven.

757
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 1: It's no surprise Hack goes with the Boys three straight weeks.

758
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:38,919
Speaker 1: Well they let him down, Isaiah, who you got? Oh wow?

759
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:47,880
Speaker 1: Heck my, that was interesting. What's going on? He's thinking thinking? No, no, no,

760
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:52,759
Speaker 1: no thinking required here. Um, I'm a fact based individual.

761
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:56,440
Speaker 1: Now everybody knows that. You know, I'm loyal to my soil.

762
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 1: In terms of Seattle, that's family. I don't care if

763
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 1: the dog on Sattle. SuperSonics we're out there playing on

764
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 1: the field. I'm still you know, a Sonics is my

765
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:06,719
Speaker 1: Seattle of my life. However, I live in Dallas and

766
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 1: I and I respect the heck out of the organization

767
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 1: because Jerry took a big risk on me and I'm

768
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 1: loving for life. So Cowboys always got my heart as well.

769
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:16,360
Speaker 1: But when it comes down to this real life thing, okay,

770
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:18,400
Speaker 1: I don't I don't sway one way or other. I

771
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:21,920
Speaker 1: don't care who my who, my loyalty goes with. Seattle

772
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:25,120
Speaker 1: is a better team right now, right now, they're playing

773
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:27,279
Speaker 1: out of their better team. The Dallas is a better team.

774
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:30,880
Speaker 1: On paper, Seattle is playing better. Seattle will win this

775
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 1: game thirty four to twenty four, even without the twelfth man. Kyle,

776
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 1: you know, I think you've got an advantage going oh here,

777
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:41,400
Speaker 1: I'll go now. If you want to go next, you

778
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:43,960
Speaker 1: want to protect that, you want to protect that leads? Fine, No,

779
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:46,279
Speaker 1: that's fine, Yes you do that's fine, I'll go next.

780
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:49,279
Speaker 1: I'll go next. So here's the thing. Here's the thing

781
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 1: with me whenever it comes to picking this game, is

782
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 1: I want to be the guy who's who supports the Cowboys.

783
00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:59,879
Speaker 1: I'm I'm wearing the shirt. I'm I've grew up a fan,

784
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,840
Speaker 1: I work in the building. I really enjoy what I do,

785
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 1: But I also have an obligation to the fans to

786
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:08,440
Speaker 1: give you the prediction that I actually think will happen,

787
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:11,919
Speaker 1: and to try and go three and oh and keep

788
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:14,799
Speaker 1: that undefeated streak alive. Whenever you look at this game,

789
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 1: you're looking at injuries for the Cowboys, you're looking at

790
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:22,279
Speaker 1: it's you're looking at so many different things. On the

791
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:25,400
Speaker 1: defensive side of the football. When it comes to Trayvon

792
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 1: Diggs being banged up, how are you gonna match up

793
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:31,760
Speaker 1: with Trayvon Diggs, no Cheetah Awoosier, no Anthony Brown against

794
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 1: DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett in that entire offense led by

795
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:38,239
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. On the offensive side of the football, You're

796
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:40,840
Speaker 1: still unsure about your offensive line. You really are. But

797
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:44,680
Speaker 1: with that being said, I've got a gut feeling, and

798
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 1: I don't really know how to explain that gut feeling.

799
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 1: It's it's a mystery, meat, bubble guts type of nervousness.

800
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 1: But I also think it's a game I think the

801
00:40:56,280 --> 00:41:00,279
Speaker 1: Cowboys can win sneakily. I think this is a game

802
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 1: that everything's going the opposite direction, but they're riding the

803
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 1: momentium off of a second half. They're found a rhythm

804
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:10,759
Speaker 1: on offense. I'm gonna pick the Cowboys to upset the

805
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:14,239
Speaker 1: Seahawks and get a victory here. And this isn't a

806
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 1: Homer pick. This is legitimately my thought process. New England

807
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 1: lost by five. I don't think New England's a good

808
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:24,560
Speaker 1: football team. I don't think Cam Newton is that great

809
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:27,360
Speaker 1: of a quarterback right now. Proved me wrong, Cam, because

810
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:30,880
Speaker 1: he has so far continue to prove me wrong. But

811
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:33,560
Speaker 1: a five point loss to the Seahawks good. I think

812
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:35,759
Speaker 1: the Cowboys have a chance to win. I think the

813
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:40,920
Speaker 1: Cowboys can win this game. Hello, Hello, Hi, is it?

814
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:43,839
Speaker 1: It's on? It's right, you heard me right, I'm picking

815
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:49,960
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. It's gonna be close. Thirty one Cowboy. We

816
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:52,279
Speaker 1: don't we don't. Heck, we don't have enough time to

817
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:55,280
Speaker 1: digest everything that he just said in a one statement.

818
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:57,840
Speaker 1: You see, Ahi, he prefaced a lot of statements like

819
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:00,440
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not a Homer, and I got it

820
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:03,719
Speaker 1: some Cowboys. You think he's going one way, it goes

821
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:07,719
Speaker 1: the other good? I mean, oh good, oh good? All right,

822
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 1: we don't have enough time to go through all the

823
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:13,399
Speaker 1: stuff college to say go ahead, Rob, I don't. I'm

824
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:15,160
Speaker 1: gonna try to. I'm gonna try to tie Kyle up

825
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:17,919
Speaker 1: by week four because I'm gonna sorry, heck, I'm gonna

826
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:20,760
Speaker 1: go with Seattle here. I think I think the Cowboys

827
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 1: definitely are gonna be competitive in this game. And I

828
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:24,880
Speaker 1: and although it didn't work out with the Rams in

829
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:26,759
Speaker 1: week one, I think there might be some kind of

830
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:30,280
Speaker 1: confidence level for a rogue team going into what's normally

831
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:33,000
Speaker 1: a really hostile environment and knowing they don't have to

832
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:35,359
Speaker 1: deal with that all that noise offensively, I think they're

833
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:36,879
Speaker 1: gonna be able to settle in. I think they're gonna

834
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 1: play well. But Russell Wilson, he's Mike for MVP this year.

835
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:46,000
Speaker 1: He's playing at at an all elite, all Universe level

836
00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 1: right now. And while I think the defense has things

837
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:50,880
Speaker 1: they can build on, and I think they're gonna get

838
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:53,920
Speaker 1: better and better, at this point, I gotta go with

839
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:55,879
Speaker 1: with the best player in the league right now at

840
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:58,919
Speaker 1: home making enough plays to win the game. So I'll

841
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:04,320
Speaker 1: go Seattle. Twenty twenty four. We're a house divided, we

842
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:07,520
Speaker 1: are a house decisions with your mind and not your heart.

843
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:10,320
Speaker 1: Run I'm like the way you make sound decisions with

844
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:13,320
Speaker 1: my mind the whole time. I just think the Cowboys

845
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:14,920
Speaker 1: are gonna win. I'm the only one that's two and

846
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:17,480
Speaker 1: oh here, I feel like I have some some positive

847
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 1: Once you get your second way, you can start talking

848
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:24,279
Speaker 1: in next week. And hey, some of the fans on this,

849
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:27,200
Speaker 1: on this, on this chat right now are blowing it up.

850
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 1: They're saying, oh, we know who Kyle's gonna pick. He's

851
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 1: gonna pick the Seahawks. He's saying, it's not it's not

852
00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:36,080
Speaker 1: gonna be positive and true. No, I'm thinking the Cowboys

853
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:39,920
Speaker 1: thirty one. Not so fast. I pulled the lead corso

854
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 1: on you. But that's gonna do it for our week

855
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:44,799
Speaker 1: of talking Cowboys. We hope you had as much fun

856
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:47,640
Speaker 1: as we did breaking down this matchup. This is gonna

857
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:49,960
Speaker 1: be a fantastic game. It really will be. I think

858
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:52,200
Speaker 1: both teams are very good. I think even if the

859
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:55,080
Speaker 1: Cowboys come out on the losing side, you're probably gonna

860
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:59,280
Speaker 1: have positives heading into week four and really an easier,

861
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:01,759
Speaker 1: lighter sc edule over the next couple of weeks. This

862
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:03,840
Speaker 1: is a benchmark game for the Cowboys and it's a

863
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 1: huge thing for them if they get a win. If not,

864
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:08,600
Speaker 1: you learn what you can do up against one of

865
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:10,879
Speaker 1: the better teams in the NFC. By the way, our

866
