Speaker 1: Cowboys Nations not very happy with their thirty one twenty
Speaker 1: eight loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, So
Speaker 1: give us a call. Eight eight eight eight five five
Speaker 1: two two nine seven. And I know we normally saved
Speaker 1: this for Friday, but you're about to say so much
Speaker 1: your chess. We're about to say it all with our chests. Yeah,
Speaker 1: did you get your push ups in this morning? You're
Speaker 1: ready to roll percoctly. Oh good, what about you. I
Speaker 1: didn't do any push ups today. Don't get down and
Speaker 1: give me this right now, give me twenty right now.
Speaker 1: They can't see that. Give me twenty. I don't care.
Speaker 1: I can see it, we can see it. Get down
Speaker 1: there to stop. The people at home aren't going to
Speaker 1: be fooled, but are listening audience to believe me. We
Speaker 1: are going to take your calls eight eight eight five
Speaker 1: five two two nine seven. Isaiah's actually the trainer, so
Speaker 1: it was kind of interesting for me to say one
Speaker 1: time to him, feel good. It did feel good because
Speaker 1: he's usually give me more. You know, I'm gonna give
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give the people out there a little tip.
Speaker 1: Next time you guys have a bet, because I don't
Speaker 1: bet on I don't bet with money, right, So, next
Speaker 1: time you guys have a bet, bet push ups, but
Speaker 1: bet on demand push ups. So bet somebody down, yeah,
Speaker 1: drop down whenever. Whenever you say dropped down, that's when
Speaker 1: that person has a dropped down. It's the greatest bet ever. Like,
Speaker 1: just bet them fifty push ups, okay, bet cool? All
Speaker 1: right now now it's locked in. You win, instead of
Speaker 1: betting money, handing somebody a twenty or whatever, it is
Speaker 1: now when you see them in there in the middle
Speaker 1: of the church service said, hey, that's dangerous. Save that.
Speaker 1: You save it. Absolutely, that's dangerous to play there with me,
Speaker 1: because we'll be in crow grown out. Now, I'll be
Speaker 1: like dropping. You will be public bathroom. I will be
Speaker 1: like dropping. Give me five gross right next to the
Speaker 1: pea man. You're like walking and you're walking into your seat. Drip,
Speaker 1: walk into your seat in a movie theater and you're like,
Speaker 1: get me twenty and you you're hopping down. You're in
Speaker 1: the popcorn kernels. No, he's not gonna make you do
Speaker 1: a fifty one. He's gonna spread spread. You can have
Speaker 1: it drop down to give me two. Wait what wait? Huh? Yeah. Nice.
Speaker 1: That's actually a good idea, but also terrifying at the
Speaker 1: same time when you think, actually, I will make a bet,
Speaker 1: but I don't know what to bet on yet. But
Speaker 1: let's keep it in mind. But this week we'll make
Speaker 1: a bet. We'll make something happen. All right, Well, let's
Speaker 1: do some news and notes. Let's get that out of
Speaker 1: the way. Let's talk about what happened yesterday. Mike McCarthy,
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore, Dan Quayn All speaking to the media John
Speaker 1: Fossil as well, and then we've got players off day today, correct, correct,
Speaker 1: and then they'll be back at it tomorrow with a
Speaker 1: change schedule and everything. But Student News and Notes once
Speaker 1: again give us a call eight eight eight five five
Speaker 1: two two ninety seven. Leading with the injury report, um.
Speaker 1: The only major injury knockoling Wood to come out of
Speaker 1: Sunday's lost against Green Bay was starting corner back Anthony
Speaker 1: Brown left with the concussion following that first Christian Watson touchdown.
Speaker 1: He was ruled out immediately. He is now officially in
Speaker 1: the concussion protocol, Hasbenson Sunday. When asked about it on yesterday,
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy said that Brown quote unquote definitely has a
Speaker 1: chance to go on Sunday against Minnesota. I would caution
Speaker 1: everyone to understand, though, that concussion protocol is what it is,
Speaker 1: and it is more stringent nowadays post TUA. So regardless
Speaker 1: of how anyone feels, if if Anthony Brown doesn't clear
Speaker 1: every single hurdle in the concussion protocol between now and
Speaker 1: I'd say Saturday, because he's also going to have to
Speaker 1: get at least one full practice in, then he may
Speaker 1: not go. So really touching go on Anthony Brown this week.
Speaker 1: Will see how they go is. But there is optimism
Speaker 1: from Mike McCarthy and the Cowboys training staff there. As
Speaker 1: far as some of the events on Sunday, you know,
Speaker 1: obviously you heard or you may not have heard dan quinn.
Speaker 1: He was asked about the run defense. Mc McCarthy asked
Speaker 1: about the run defense, and I love what McCarthy said.
Speaker 1: When pressed about Rundy, he said, pass rush is a privilege,
Speaker 1: and I love that because basically what he's intimating is
Speaker 1: that you don't get to pin your ears back and
Speaker 1: go after an opposing quarterback if that team knows they
Speaker 1: can run down your throat time and time again. So
Speaker 1: as furiously frustrated as he was on Sunday, he is
Speaker 1: making it clear, along with dan Quinn, that this defense
Speaker 1: needs to improve in the run capacity or in defending
Speaker 1: the run. Dan Quinn when asked, and Jerry Jones reiterated
Speaker 1: this morning. When asked if the Cowboys have the right
Speaker 1: personnel to get that job done quickly, dan Quinn said, absolutely,
Speaker 1: it was quick, it was unequivocal, it was succinct, and
Speaker 1: then he went on to explain why he believes he
Speaker 1: has the right guys to get it done. I don't
Speaker 1: entirely disagree. I think it's just a matter of rotation
Speaker 1: how you're moving the pieces around, and I think once
Speaker 1: the Cowboys figure that out, then yeah, they'll get back
Speaker 1: on track. Lastly, that'll b J guy, right, Jerry Jones
Speaker 1: this morning, the one oh five point three of him
Speaker 1: the fan was asked about Odell Beckham Junior. Obviously ceedee
Speaker 1: lamb is coming off of a massive game one fifty
Speaker 1: yards and three touchdowns, obviously had at least one key
Speaker 1: mistake that led to an interception, but for the most part,
Speaker 1: Jerry said that CD had the best game I've ever
Speaker 1: seen him play. End quote. When asked if that means
Speaker 1: the volume gets turned down a little bit on the
Speaker 1: OBJ front, he was like, no, it absolutely does not.
Speaker 1: He said OBJ is an additive and that's how you
Speaker 1: should continue to look at it, and then he went
Speaker 1: on to express why it's not done yet. You know,
Speaker 1: but I would also say in remind everyone, free agency
Speaker 1: is a two way street, right and OBJ has as
Speaker 1: Iris has so eloquently pointed out all the leverage and
Speaker 1: he has multiple teams at the table. So reports are
Speaker 1: OBJ is looking to make a decision by the end
Speaker 1: of this month, Cowboys. If they don't have an offer
Speaker 1: on the table by now, I speculate that they do,
Speaker 1: they will here shortly because the interest is as high
Speaker 1: as it was prior to the loss in Green Bay. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think. I think I'm right on the same page
Speaker 1: as you. I think they've made an offer at least,
Speaker 1: and we don't have anything specific, or at least I don't.
Speaker 1: You may have something specific, but I don't have anything
Speaker 1: specific telling me that they have made an offer. It's
Speaker 1: just that gut feeling that the way that they're talking,
Speaker 1: I feel like there's something out there. I want to
Speaker 1: go back really quickly before we take our first call.
Speaker 1: But the cornerback situation, you saw a lot of Kelvin Joseph.
Speaker 1: You saw a lot of dron Bland, two guys in
Speaker 1: the first two seasons in the NFL. Of course, second
Speaker 1: year for Joseph rookie d ron Bland, Isaiah. When you
Speaker 1: went back and watched it, how would you grade their performance?
Speaker 1: I mean, where did it stick out? Because no Jordan Lewis,
Speaker 1: no Anthony Brown, It's Treyvon Diggs in a couple of
Speaker 1: youth valiant effort. Okay, the only thing that's wrong with
Speaker 1: valiant effort is it doesn't necessarily mean that you're going
Speaker 1: to be successful. It is that a participation trophy. It's
Speaker 1: a participation trophy. I love Darn Bland. I love his game.
Speaker 1: I love what he did through camp. I love what
Speaker 1: he did in the preseason. I love what he did
Speaker 1: when he s in the regular season. In his first
Speaker 1: appearance some weeks back, that was a that was this
Speaker 1: Hello Ricky moment. This past weekend he got Hello Rookie
Speaker 1: and it was by another RICKI so speed kills. One
Speaker 1: thing that was common for all those guys this past
Speaker 1: week is they weren't getting their hands on people. I'm
Speaker 1: not sure if that's something that Al Harris was teaching
Speaker 1: them as a technique that they were to utilize in
Speaker 1: this particular game. But if that was the fact, then
Speaker 1: that wasn't that wasn't it not for this caliber of cornerbacks.
Speaker 1: You know, if you're gonna walk up there and get
Speaker 1: your hands on some guys disrupted, especially when you know
Speaker 1: that the gentleman across from me is faster than you
Speaker 1: make it difficult on them. They just had a rough outing.
Speaker 1: I think that they tried hard. I don't think that
Speaker 1: there is any mental errors that I was able to
Speaker 1: find be at a film. But that's me assuming that
Speaker 1: the assignments are what I believe they are. But they
Speaker 1: just didn't get it done. At the end of the day,
Speaker 1: what do you think that it's just youth is growing pains?
Speaker 1: You're going to have that and would I would caution
Speaker 1: anyone trying to sell their stock on durn Bland. I
Speaker 1: think that's wildly premature. He didn't have the best game,
Speaker 1: he didn't have the worst game, but obviously he let
Speaker 1: Christian Watson get behind him. And I'm with IRS on
Speaker 1: the fact that I would have liked to see them
Speaker 1: get Hansy with a guy that's as fast as Watson.
Speaker 1: You don't want to give him a free release because
Speaker 1: then you're really up against his speed and quickness. But
Speaker 1: you know, dron Bland not only had he's not just
Speaker 1: been you know that training camp superstar that's not translated over.
Speaker 1: I mean, you saw what he did in the Washington
Speaker 1: Commanders game when Jordan Lewis wasn't able to go. He
Speaker 1: ended his first career interception. He was great in coverage,
Speaker 1: so I'd say he just had some growing pains. Kelvin Joseph,
Speaker 1: he made progress, he made some strides. This isn't the
Speaker 1: same Kelvin Joseph that might have played and might have
Speaker 1: gotten some snaps last season as a rookie. You've seen
Speaker 1: some development there, so positive signs. And he almost iced
Speaker 1: the game with that forced fumble Aaron Jones. Jones recovered it,
Speaker 1: but that lets you know that he's he's taking some strides.
Speaker 1: So they're gonna have to take their lumps, and this
Speaker 1: is a part of the growing process, and you you
Speaker 1: hate that it had to come at lambeau Field and
Speaker 1: in a loss, but they gotta gotta take the lumps
Speaker 1: sooner or later, So sooner better than later, especially if
Speaker 1: later is going to beat the playoffs, because you're probably
Speaker 1: going to need well, you're definitely gonna need to Ron
Speaker 1: Bland because Jay Lou's not coming back this season and
Speaker 1: Anthony Brown, you know he's not going to be out
Speaker 1: for the entire season with a concussion, but the absence
Speaker 1: of jay Lou still creates that competition between Kelvin Joseph
Speaker 1: and Sean Wright for snaps going forward. So now you're
Speaker 1: starting to see what this this youth looks like at
Speaker 1: the cornerback position. All right, let's take our first call
Speaker 1: eight eight five, five two two nine seven. It is
Speaker 1: a talking Tuesday. We're gonna take a couple more calls
Speaker 1: than normal this week, and we're gonna start things off
Speaker 1: where last night, the Washington Commanders did you a favor.
Speaker 1: I think they did their favor. I guess it's in
Speaker 1: fatable because now now now there's a team coming from
Speaker 1: behind and above you. I know there's debate there. I
Speaker 1: think they did you a favor. You're better than the
Speaker 1: Washington Commanders. They beat the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night football.
Speaker 1: Philly no longer is undefeated. They also have a chink
Speaker 1: in their armor, and they're also back to being only
Speaker 1: two games up on the Dallas Cowboys. So I think
Speaker 1: they did you a favor. And out there in Philly
Speaker 1: right now, our guy Troy joins us on talking Cowboys.
Speaker 1: Troy and Philly. What's up my man? Hey man? Yeah,
Speaker 1: this whenever the whenever we have games like last night,
Speaker 1: this is always a great place to be for people
Speaker 1: like me. It makes it much safer for you to
Speaker 1: roll in the streets of your hometown. Absolutely, um, hey, man,
Speaker 1: every time, um, we lose a game, because I think
Speaker 1: you learned more more about yourself and your mistakes than
Speaker 1: you do in victories. But every time I every time
Speaker 1: we lose a game, man, I see the same thing.
Speaker 1: I see a team that's just not being smart, um,
Speaker 1: And really from top to bottom, I can I can.
Speaker 1: I can just start, and I can just start with
Speaker 1: the you know in the front office that I get
Speaker 1: to work past the trade and trade trade that line.
Speaker 1: But like Jerry in the nineties went for it, like
Speaker 1: he went for it and we won Super Bowls. Charles
Speaker 1: Helley going to get Deon Sanders whatever, he went for it,
Speaker 1: and that's not happening anymore. We're not winning. Then you
Speaker 1: go to the coaches, I mean, I agree with you totally.
Speaker 1: Said like Kellen cannot get out of his way with
Speaker 1: this run game he can like he cannot gather of
Speaker 1: his way first and goal from the ten after a
Speaker 1: turnover that should have been four runs. They're not gonna
Speaker 1: stop you. You make that game fourteen to nothing with
Speaker 1: five minutes or so left in the second quarter, and
Speaker 1: you force a quarterback with an injured thumb and no
Speaker 1: receivers to throw the ball the rest of the game.
Speaker 1: And just like you said during the pregame, Isiah, I'm
Speaker 1: taking my chances with that in that game, with that player.
Speaker 1: So I don't on the offensive coaching, and it's not
Speaker 1: smart on the defensive side. DQ. I love you, man,
Speaker 1: I love you, but you're having a problem with the
Speaker 1: run game and you drafted a big, strong, fast linebacker
Speaker 1: who could possibly help, and he's on the field for
Speaker 1: seven snaps. There have to be something done better than that.
Speaker 1: And then, like you guys pointed out yesterday, you have
Speaker 1: a rookie receiver who is porching you, porching you, and
Speaker 1: you have a cornerback who is who you're going to
Speaker 1: pay a boatload of money in a couple of years.
Speaker 1: Follow this guy, make him, like you said, follow this
Speaker 1: guy to the tallet where he goes like it's just
Speaker 1: it's just not smart. Then you get on the field
Speaker 1: and you got your your receiver, receiver one who I
Speaker 1: don't think is a number one receiver and I didn't
Speaker 1: think going into the season he was a number one,
Speaker 1: but receiver one in your tight end running the exact
Speaker 1: same route and your quarterback throwing it to him in
Speaker 1: the end zone, Like I don't know that's not smart
Speaker 1: to me. Then you got my last thing, then you
Speaker 1: got after a byde No less, you run the exact
Speaker 1: same play, make the exact same mistake that you did
Speaker 1: before the bye. When the bye week is supposed to
Speaker 1: be with yourself, scout, make yourself better, know what you are,
Speaker 1: found out who you are, and you make the exact
Speaker 1: same mistake. And I personally think that their explanation was
Speaker 1: as bad as the mistake itself. After a bye to
Speaker 1: say it was miscommunication? Are you kidding me? After a bye?
Speaker 1: That's what you guys are saying after a bye. You
Speaker 1: guys are miscommun the King, I guess. I just don't
Speaker 1: understand this team is not smart when it's losing. And
Speaker 1: that's the part that's a problem. Now. They were smart
Speaker 1: for the during the during the Cooper Games Cooper Rush games,
Speaker 1: but it's like when that comes back, they go back
Speaker 1: to not being smart again. I just have a problem
Speaker 1: with that. I hang up and listen to you guys. Troy,
Speaker 1: thank you so much for the call. And I mean,
Speaker 1: he had a lot of different areas there, but he
Speaker 1: also gets brownie points because he says he watches pregame live.
Speaker 1: Andy listens to talk to everyday, So Brownie points for
Speaker 1: Troy and Philly. Now I will say, I want to
Speaker 1: go back to what he said about traveling Trayvon Diggs
Speaker 1: to the rookie receiver aka Christian Watson, who torched you
Speaker 1: for three touchdowns. You asked Mike McCarthy that yesterday, Yes,
Speaker 1: what did he say? He basically said that the focus
Speaker 1: was to stop the run. That was the focus going in,
Speaker 1: That was the focus during the game, even over the
Speaker 1: course of the game. And the reason they chose not
Speaker 1: to start traveling trevilon with Christian Watson Watson is because
Speaker 1: it would have provided While it would have provided support
Speaker 1: in coverage, it would have done so in the game
Speaker 1: where in their view from a coaching staff, Rogers was
Speaker 1: only throwing it twenty or less times at that point,
Speaker 1: that was the pace of the game. But while he
Speaker 1: was throwing it only twenty times, he McCarthy said that
Speaker 1: he was efficient. He admitted he was. We talked about
Speaker 1: how Christian Watson subscribed to Twitter Blue and bought the
Speaker 1: verification checks against the Cowboys on Sunday, but the Cowboys
Speaker 1: just wanted to continue to sell out and hopefully at
Speaker 1: some point stop the hemorrhaging that was happening in the
Speaker 1: run defense, and it just never happened. And in doing so,
Speaker 1: in scheming it that way and keeping it that way
Speaker 1: and trying to figure out how to bottle up Aaron
Speaker 1: Jones and aj Dillon, they just didn't want to take
Speaker 1: a defender out of that box and start traveling the guy.
Speaker 1: And I see what he's saying, but I stick to
Speaker 1: my hill, which is even though Aaron Rodgers only through
Speaker 1: twenty times the entirety of his production for the most
Speaker 1: but not the entirety, but the most of his production
Speaker 1: came from this one guy. So if you stop this
Speaker 1: one guy, let the rest figure it out. And that's
Speaker 1: kind of how I felt about it. But put Treyvon
Speaker 1: on this guy and then let the rest of the
Speaker 1: guys figure it out. Yeah, No, really good point. And
Speaker 1: what he was saying yesterday, it didn't really convince me
Speaker 1: on not traveling it as well. I mean, I feel
Speaker 1: like I would have put your the guy who's torching
Speaker 1: you the bones, put your guy on them, make it work.
Speaker 1: It's not like Treyvon Diggs does anything in the run
Speaker 1: defense anyway. Well, in what I would say, because Troy
Speaker 1: made an excellent point as well. And this is something
Speaker 1: that I brought up and talking on yesterday. This is
Speaker 1: something I actually asked McCarthy about in the press conference.
Speaker 1: Daman Clark, it's a situation where you could have traveled
Speaker 1: Treyvon Diggs and for that added run support, you could
Speaker 1: have had Demon Clark dropped right in the middle. Demon
Speaker 1: Clark had forty defensive snaps against the Bears, and that
Speaker 1: wasn't planned, but it happened. So he showed you some things.
Speaker 1: But he only had seven defensive snaps coming out of
Speaker 1: the buy on a week where Anthony was out and
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones and AJ Dealing were torching you, and Damon
Speaker 1: Clark has show him from his LSU film He's a
Speaker 1: run stopping line back downhill guy. So asked McCarthy about that,
Speaker 1: and he said, well, the plan was never to have
Speaker 1: Daman take another forty snaps, which is fair, but not
Speaker 1: a lot of clarity on Howard got all the way
Speaker 1: down to seven. Yeah. So next caller McGee in Mansfield,
Speaker 1: first time caller, I here, welcome to talking cowboys. Man.
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Man. Hey, y'all deve doing this morning,
Speaker 1: doing fantastic. What's on your mind. I mean, so you know,
Speaker 1: normally I'm a big fan of y'all. Now I'll watch
Speaker 1: a lot of the podcasts, but I always heard my
Speaker 1: man out there talking about my dog that and for me,
Speaker 1: I'm a big back fan, been a Cowboys fan since
Speaker 1: I was born and then eighty eighty so, but it
Speaker 1: never he never seems to get criticized like other quarterbacks.
Speaker 1: And I know a lot of people say you're not
Speaker 1: a lead or whatever, but it just bothers my mom
Speaker 1: how people put Justin Herbert as a lead, but he
Speaker 1: ain't been to the playoffs and my dog won a
Speaker 1: playoff game with Tayson Gary. Um. I just feel like,
Speaker 1: you know, on a bad game and he put up
Speaker 1: twenty eight points. I mean, it's just even out the
Speaker 1: playing field. I know the America's team got the biggest
Speaker 1: fan base, but just even out playing Seal sometimes when
Speaker 1: it comes to him. So that's all I got, man,
Speaker 1: I please say it's all really really quickly. So you're
Speaker 1: asking for more credit for Dak Prescott. That's what you're
Speaker 1: that's you're advocating for. Okay, I just wanted to clarify
Speaker 1: to make sure, but thank you so much for the
Speaker 1: call McGee. We will talk to you again down the line.
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts, um, I don't I don't believe
Speaker 1: that I've ever said that Dak's not a leader, at
Speaker 1: least for me personally. Maybe that's what I think he's
Speaker 1: saying in general. I don't think he was talking about Yeah, they,
Speaker 1: I don't know who says that. I think that Dak
Speaker 1: is definitely a leader. But I still believe that he's
Speaker 1: a play action quarterback. I still believe that he has
Speaker 1: a long way to go to improve upon his accuracy
Speaker 1: of his throws, to put his receivers in better position
Speaker 1: to be able to get some yack yardage UM. And
Speaker 1: that's that's just my thoughts on it. I think his
Speaker 1: velocity is still lacking there behind some some of the
Speaker 1: other backs that you would consider elite in this league.
Speaker 1: And there's just areas of grow. Every quarterback has areas
Speaker 1: of grow. Those are just those are some of the
Speaker 1: ones that he has to continue to work on. But
Speaker 1: there's other things that he does really well. You know,
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott's not the quarterback you want to play against
Speaker 1: when they when he has a solid running game. Toward
Speaker 1: the ceiling of Dak Prescott is certainly up there with
Speaker 1: the ceiling of some of the other great quarterbacks in
Speaker 1: the league. I mean he can be that ceiling now.
Speaker 1: His consistency, on the other hand, that's what's the problem.
Speaker 1: You have drives and you have games where it's just
Speaker 1: on or it's off, and it goes back and forth.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's like a toddler with a light switch.
Speaker 1: Every once in a while. I'm not saying all the
Speaker 1: time that toddler will turn it on and he'll walk away,
Speaker 1: but then they'll come back and he'll play around with
Speaker 1: it again. So I mean it happens from time to
Speaker 1: time where that consistency has its ups and it's down.
Speaker 1: But you got to take the ups with the downs.
Speaker 1: Everybody's got it down at some point in the NFL.
Speaker 1: I think that's where people get frustrated is whenever they
Speaker 1: see more down than there has been up. And so
Speaker 1: far this season, Dak Prescott has Tampa Bay and now
Speaker 1: Green Bay, where he didn't play very good against those
Speaker 1: two teams. I would I would argue that, um, well,
Speaker 1: number one, it's not even debatable career wise, he has
Speaker 1: way more upston downs as far as would complete for
Speaker 1: the Cowboys and where the Cowboys would be if he
Speaker 1: were not under center over the course of the you know,
Speaker 1: past seven or eight years, um, and I would say
Speaker 1: that the downs are not all equal. Right, So when
Speaker 1: you and you make a great point about Tampa Bay
Speaker 1: versus Green Bay, he absolutely crapped a bid in week
Speaker 1: one Tampa Bay that that there was no he just
Speaker 1: hates base Maybe that's what it is. Just doesn't like
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay or Green Bay. That's it Bay. I wonder
Speaker 1: how it feels about Old Bay. Old Bay. Is that
Speaker 1: in Baltimore? Maybe? Um, but no, I mean it's two different,
Speaker 1: two different um types of bad so to speak. Tampa
Speaker 1: Bay he completely like craped the bed. I think he'd
Speaker 1: be willing to admit that as well. Sure he didn't
Speaker 1: crap the bed against Green Bay. His two mistakes, they
Speaker 1: were miscommunications. And I think and I agree with McGee
Speaker 1: and Troy and the fact that coming out of a
Speaker 1: bye week you shouldn't still be having those miscommunications. You
Speaker 1: could also argue that again, you know, how many games
Speaker 1: back is he right? He's not five or six games back.
Speaker 1: They still got to kind of feel it out a
Speaker 1: little bit. And this is not me excusing that away
Speaker 1: because it should not happen. That it just it should
Speaker 1: not happen. Right, But not all bad is considered awful,
Speaker 1: not all good is considered equal. Deck still has more
Speaker 1: good than bad. And to me, he's still an elite quarterback,
Speaker 1: not interstellar. We're going back to it. I'm we're going
Speaker 1: to quick. I'm gonna keep twisting that knife for the
Speaker 1: don't understand the same. That's okay, all right, let's take
Speaker 1: our first break. When we come back, we're gonna continue
Speaker 1: taking your calls eight eight eight eight five five two
Speaker 1: two nine to seven. Give us a ring. We're talking
Speaker 1: to cowboys Nation. When we come back with more talking cowboys.
Speaker 1: When you build, you start with the foundation, and homeownership

Speaker 1: Patrick nose Walker. Let's go to our third call of
Speaker 1: the day. Irwin in Denver. You're on Talking Cowboys. How's
Speaker 1: it going good? Good morning guys. How are you guys
Speaker 1: doing well? Fantastic? How are you great? Hey? So, I
Speaker 1: have like a kind of a serious question based on
Speaker 1: what we all watched in the fourth quarter of the
Speaker 1: Cowboys were up fourteen points and we were running the
Speaker 1: ball really good. Do you guys think that Kellen Moore
Speaker 1: is going to get Mike McCarthy fired because he just
Speaker 1: refuses to play, you know, bullyball with the run game
Speaker 1: that we have. And why isn't McCarthy just insisting that
Speaker 1: they play this kind of playoffs kind of football in
Speaker 1: these kind of game and I'll just love the show? Thanks,
Speaker 1: thanks so much. Ye good question. Who wants to start
Speaker 1: on that one? I feel like both of you would
Speaker 1: have good insight on how that works. I don't see
Speaker 1: him getting McCarthy fired unless McCarthy doesn't make the playoffs. Sure,
Speaker 1: but with the decision making in the way that that
Speaker 1: thing kind of trickles down if in terms of the
Speaker 1: play calling, if they continue on this course of not
Speaker 1: sticking to the run when it's being very successful, and
Speaker 1: that leads you to not getting to the playoffs. That
Speaker 1: will put him in a bad situation. Aside from that,
Speaker 1: I can't see it. Yeah, I'll pig you back on
Speaker 1: that just a little bit and say that for the
Speaker 1: bad that you're seeing the miscommunications, you've also seen the
Speaker 1: Cowboys now figure out how to score the football right
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two, So a lot of progress being
Speaker 1: made there. Kelle Moore just needs to be more consistent
Speaker 1: with sticking with the run. But I've also now seen
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two McCarthy being willing to put his
Speaker 1: hand down and say hey, hey, stop getting away from
Speaker 1: what's working. I believe that that's going to happen again
Speaker 1: this week. Kind of a recalibration, if you will, to say, hey,
Speaker 1: you did it again. You saw what happened again, So
Speaker 1: let's keep it going forward. And because McCarthy is being
Speaker 1: more influential in making sure Kellen Moore makes smarter decisions
Speaker 1: going forward, I don't think that even ultimately if the
Speaker 1: Cowboys falter, don't make the playoffs and or make the playoff,
Speaker 1: or should say not and or but or make the
Speaker 1: playoffs and falter there, and it ends up costing McCart
Speaker 1: his job. I don't know that I could lay that
Speaker 1: on the lap of Kellen Moore, because McCarthy has invoked
Speaker 1: his influence in the play calling, not by by calling
Speaker 1: the plays, but by making sure that you know, more
Speaker 1: often than not, the right players are being called in
Speaker 1: the right situation. I think it would just be a
Speaker 1: totality of things that didn't go well when things should
Speaker 1: have gone well. Again, it's a team coming off a
Speaker 1: twelve and five season. I predicted them to go twelve
Speaker 1: and five this year. If they in fact keep to that,
Speaker 1: get to the playoffs, don't make a long run, then
Speaker 1: it's not all on Kellen Moore. It's just a totality
Speaker 1: of what was not accomplished since McCarthy had come in. So, yeah,
Speaker 1: wouldn't drop it all on Kellen Moore's lap, And I
Speaker 1: wouldn't drop on Dan Quinn's lap. And I say that
Speaker 1: to preface what I'm about to say. Now, if the
Speaker 1: run defense cast you again in the playoffs, you could
Speaker 1: argue that it would be more on Quinn than more.
Speaker 1: But then that becomes a whole nother debate because it's
Speaker 1: the past rush that got you probably got you to
Speaker 1: the playoffs in the first place, so it being a
Speaker 1: very layered comversation to kind of to back in both
Speaker 1: of your points. For you, it would take a monumental
Speaker 1: collapse for that to even be a possibility, of the
Speaker 1: firing of Mike McCarthy for that to even be a thing,
Speaker 1: because you would have to not make the playoffs, and
Speaker 1: of course if you're not going to bank the playoffs,
Speaker 1: thus there would be a monumental collapse on your end.
Speaker 1: You're saying it wouldn't happen because by the time a
Speaker 1: monumental collapse would already have gotten there, you will have
Speaker 1: already had Mike McCarthy come down and say something by
Speaker 1: that point. And it's already happened at several points thus
Speaker 1: far this season, and again I think it's going to
Speaker 1: happen again this week in practice. Coming out of the
Speaker 1: Green Bay game, you're up fourteen points and you end
Speaker 1: the game with a lot of would not balanced pass
Speaker 1: versus rush, So you really should have been hamming it.
Speaker 1: And maybe even though Tony Pollard had had a really
Speaker 1: good game and Malie Davis tried to get some contribution
Speaker 1: there as well, I still think this is where you
Speaker 1: missed Ezekiel Elliott, his running style. You missed him being
Speaker 1: able to punish those guys up front when you were
Speaker 1: up fourteen points. So yeah, that's a really good point.
Speaker 1: We didn't get to hit yesterday. But the fact that
Speaker 1: you can salt away a game with a guy like
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott is a very underrated quality of his game.
Speaker 1: And I felt like this was, like you just said,
Speaker 1: a good opportunity for that to happen. Let's go to
Speaker 1: Philippe in La out there on the West coast in
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, Philipe, how's it going good? How are you
Speaker 1: guys joining fantastic? How are you good? I wanted to
Speaker 1: talk about mainly why aren't we talking more about our
Speaker 1: defensive line. I feel like we're able to clearly put
Speaker 1: up points, but if we're not able to stop the run,
Speaker 1: especially going forward, and it's shown especially in the playoffs.
Speaker 1: I mean, it doesn't matter how many points we score,
Speaker 1: people are always going to keep it closed, especially with
Speaker 1: the run. And I know Jesse's talked a lot about
Speaker 1: it is bringing in Sun. I think that's I forget
Speaker 1: how to pronounce his first name, but to help with
Speaker 1: a defense of looks like the stopping the run. Yam,
Speaker 1: I think that's huge and it is going to be
Speaker 1: our acquies. Heel. Philippe, thanks so much for your call.
Speaker 1: Appreciate it. And I mean there's a couple of options
Speaker 1: out there. I thought, at least whenever I was watching
Speaker 1: back the tape, the interior of the defensive line was
Speaker 1: very disappointing. He called me Jesse. No, he was saying,
Speaker 1: Jesse was talking about it on Hanging with the boys.
Speaker 1: Have you mentioned awesome Wa at any point down the line?
Speaker 1: Is that who you're talking about? Oh? I thought he
Speaker 1: said awesome Wa? He was? He was? He was? He
Speaker 1: talking about the thomasin Sue. Have you brought it? Have
Speaker 1: you said it? Then? Though he may have called you,
Speaker 1: Jesse was given him a I was giving him the
Speaker 1: benefit of the down back beamer. Philippe, get back on
Speaker 1: the line. Uh, what were your thoughts on now? Well,
Speaker 1: my thing is the interior of the defensive line for
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, um, particularly with Hankins there. I think it's
Speaker 1: I think it's solid and improved with Hankins there. But
Speaker 1: here's and give Craig to the floor in the Rogers
Speaker 1: and the Rogers and Rodgers as well. But to the
Speaker 1: I call it the Packers to Rogers, not that I'm
Speaker 1: wrong in doing so now, but give credit to their
Speaker 1: offensive coaching staff because they scheme this to perfection. I
Speaker 1: was charting the first drive on yesterday. Shovel pass left
Speaker 1: to Aaron Jones. Right, shovel passed right to Aaron Jones.
Speaker 1: Follow what's going on here? Shovel pass left to Aaron Jones.
Speaker 1: That's three edge runs, you know, alternating right. So that's
Speaker 1: setting of the Cowboys interior defensive line up. It's basically
Speaker 1: saying we're gonna stretch you out and force you to
Speaker 1: think and cover it laterally. Those are the first three plays.
Speaker 1: Fourth play direct handoff to AJ Dillon. Fifth play, direct
Speaker 1: handoff to AJ Dillon. These were eight That was an
Speaker 1: A gap in the B gap run Play number six
Speaker 1: direct handoff to AJ Dillon a gap. So to this point,
Speaker 1: these are all single back sets. Play number seven was
Speaker 1: the first play they did a two running back set.
Speaker 1: So I'll compress it and say this, stretch the left edge,
Speaker 1: stretch the right edge, stretch the left edge. Now you
Speaker 1: get the interior defensive line thinking laterally you go a gap,
Speaker 1: B gap, A gap and then on play number six.
Speaker 1: You put both running backs back there to really confuse them.
Speaker 1: So it was more scheme, But it goes back to
Speaker 1: the crux of the problem for the Cowboys defense run defense.
Speaker 1: It's not the interior, it's the edges. If they can't
Speaker 1: contain and seal those edges off, it's going to provide
Speaker 1: it's going to create another stress point, which is the
Speaker 1: interior of the defensive line. Tell your linebackers to help
Speaker 1: seal those edges, and I guarantee you will see improved
Speaker 1: play from that interior line looking at the interior on
Speaker 1: those plays specifically, I had this written them in my
Speaker 1: film notes. I said, interior getting bullied on the first
Speaker 1: seven plays of the game. That's kind of what I said,
Speaker 1: because they did. They went inside after going in, stretching
Speaker 1: it outside, then they went right back into it. And
Speaker 1: I think at that point, like you said, it was
Speaker 1: op balanced. Nobody had their footing and the scheme worked
Speaker 1: against the Cowboys. However, have a question, and this is
Speaker 1: probably more for Isaiah, but with the way that dan
Speaker 1: Quinn runs stunts quite often, I mean there were times
Speaker 1: where there was miscommunication. It was a late step. They
Speaker 1: were running into each other, they were trying to twist
Speaker 1: out of it. They were doing different things and it
Speaker 1: was all convoluted on the line of scrimmage at some
Speaker 1: point is if you're not able to get home on
Speaker 1: your stunt, how much does that put you behind the
Speaker 1: eight ball against the run? Quite a bit? Right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean because you're off balance. So you're off balance,
Speaker 1: you're getting out of your gap. You're you're expecting somebody
Speaker 1: else to feel that that void that you're leaving to
Speaker 1: touch base on this outside run thing, right, And you're
Speaker 1: absolutely correct. They were stretching you outside that they can
Speaker 1: hit you up tomato? Right, How do you stop outside
Speaker 1: runts set the edge? Not always? Okay, what's the other way?
Speaker 1: Not always? There was plenty of times where Michael Parsons
Speaker 1: had the edge, but guess what, it's a three hundred
Speaker 1: and thirty pound doo that's pulling and get kicking you out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so you can have the edge all you want to.
Speaker 1: When that dude decides that he wants to four, you're
Speaker 1: you're gonna move out to absolutely right. So that's that's containment,
Speaker 1: that's having the edge, that's that's keeping it all inside.
Speaker 1: But what happens is you got of alignment coming out
Speaker 1: and kicking you out. You want to be outside, cool,
Speaker 1: stay outside, We'll kick you out. So there's a misconception
Speaker 1: on how easy it is to stop runs. The difference
Speaker 1: is how do you stop those type of outside runs
Speaker 1: and really just constrict everything to the middle of your defense. Well,
Speaker 1: your secondary support, your secondary run support has to come
Speaker 1: into it. I know there's a lot of conversations right
Speaker 1: now going on with the linebackers in the front seven
Speaker 1: and this defensive line. This the defensive backs of the
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys have to be more of a force in
Speaker 1: the running game that I'm calling it. How I see it,
Speaker 1: if you have second secondary of cornerbacks, and you have
Speaker 1: safeties that are coming down and hitting and wrapping up,
Speaker 1: hitting and wrapping up because Donald came down a couple
Speaker 1: of times and hit and got moved back by two
Speaker 1: hundred and forty five pound running back. Hit and wrap up.
Speaker 1: Shoot the knees like we saw in Detroit. Get these guys,
Speaker 1: chop them down like some dog on some trees. All
Speaker 1: of a sudden, team stop running like that all of
Speaker 1: a sudden. Shootly, yeah, let's not go up to air.
Speaker 1: Just try to go to sting straight up the middle
Speaker 1: because of the easiest point from point A to point
Speaker 1: B is what straight line, So I'm gonna go straight.
Speaker 1: The secondary needs to take responsibility for the lack of
Speaker 1: run support. It would help this defense out tremendously. Some
Speaker 1: of the best rush defenses have great corners that are
Speaker 1: willing to come up and hit. I don't disagree. I
Speaker 1: just simply put it more on the linebackers. And it's
Speaker 1: weird for me to say this next statement because I
Speaker 1: didn't think he could do any wrong. But everybody has
Speaker 1: a bad day. And though Michael Parsons tied for the
Speaker 1: team high with tackles, he has seven. I believe. In
Speaker 1: charting the film, there were a couple of times and
Speaker 1: the second play from scrimmage for the Packers is one
Speaker 1: I'll point out. It was a shovel right to Aaron Jones.
Speaker 1: That was parsons assignment. Everybody else had was engaged right.
Speaker 1: Parsons had clean I called it cleaner. He had clean air.
Speaker 1: But he took the inside shoulder angle and that kept
Speaker 1: that freed up the outside. So all Aaron Jones did
Speaker 1: was hit the turbo button and take that outside shoulder,
Speaker 1: and that should have been a two yard tackle for
Speaker 1: a loss, but it turned into a four yard game.
Speaker 1: Maybe if Parsons does make that play, maybe it early
Speaker 1: in the game, mix Rogers and lafleur rethink their attack
Speaker 1: to Russian and they say, you know what, maybe this
Speaker 1: drive needs to turn into more of a you know,
Speaker 1: a West coast and go in that way. And that
Speaker 1: would have played kind of into the Cowboys hands. But
Speaker 1: it's one of those situations you're not going to see
Speaker 1: many mistakes from Michael Parson's that was one. But if
Speaker 1: the Cowboys linebackers, which goes to my point, if the
Speaker 1: Cowboys linebackers, whomever that might be, and I do want
Speaker 1: to see some more demon Clark, if they can help
Speaker 1: set those edges, if they can make sure that they
Speaker 1: take the appropriate angle when it's your guy, it's one
Speaker 1: on one in space, you have to make that tackle
Speaker 1: behind the line of scrimmage. That will help change the
Speaker 1: entire tone of how offenses are approaching you. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: could definitely change some things. Now, well, when we come back,
Speaker 1: you're on talking. Cowboys will take one more call and
Speaker 1: then we're gonna get out of here. We're gonna turn
Speaker 1: the page left of the Eagles First, that too after
Speaker 1: the call. Would you like to laugh at the Eagles?
Speaker 1: That makes you feel better? Did we clip that laugh
Speaker 1: sound that you've been holding that table for the entire
Speaker 1: dinner and you get to go up and walk outside.
Speaker 1: That that's a Kawhi Leonard laugh in the corner from
Speaker 1: Patrick was good. I did say they were going to stumble.
Speaker 1: I kept I kept saying it. There's one and here's one.
Speaker 1: Check there's a crack in the armor. Technically the cowboys stone. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's fair, but cowboys had a missed opportunity. But the
Speaker 1: fact that the Commanders were able to march into the
Speaker 1: link and defeat the undefeated Eagles with Taylor Heineke and
Speaker 1: you saw Darius Slade got just that Slade by McLaurin,
Speaker 1: who is basically the son of Trevon Diggs. It just
Speaker 1: goes to my overarching point in that December is going
Speaker 1: to tell all. It's going to tell all. Not not afraid.
Speaker 1: They're missing your boy, missing Jordan da you know, in
Speaker 1: a bad way. Yeah, you know, all right, let's take
Speaker 1: our break. When we come back, we'll get to you
Speaker 1: a branded in Las Vegas. Hold on just for a moment.
Speaker 1: We'll be right back with more talking cowboys. Todd thought
Speaker 1: it would be secure to jog in the cheetah Savannah.

Speaker 1: good news is Todd has AT and T five G.

Speaker 1: was watching ted Lasso and one of the quotes he says,
Speaker 1: it's kind of like watching Billy Joel performed live. It
Speaker 1: never disappoints. And I was like, wow, that's timely because
Speaker 1: Billy Joel's coming to AT and T stadiums or Stevie Nicks.
Speaker 1: Where Stevie Nicks ain't they right? I arst we started

Speaker 1: You're on Talking Cowboys. You there? Hey, what's up? Guys?
Speaker 1: What up? Hey? I woked up for y'all man for
Speaker 1: this one. I heard, I heard them. I heard the
Speaker 1: young man said the sup thing. Um. I called in
Speaker 1: the show because I do the late shows now and talked.
Speaker 1: I was well and Nick and that mentioned in Dominican Sue,
Speaker 1: and I said, I didn't want anybody in trade. I
Speaker 1: wanted to free agents Sue and obj Am. I right,
Speaker 1: remember right out there you with me on Sue. But
Speaker 1: it was like the OBJJ don't know pretty much on that.
Speaker 1: The reason I wanted Sue because Sue, when he supplies
Speaker 1: and range to the run defense, like you were saying, Patrick,
Speaker 1: they may run on the outside, but soon the way
Speaker 1: that Sue plays and the and the things that he command,
Speaker 1: nobody's gonna play around with Sue. And we need that.
Speaker 1: We need a leader. We don't have a leader on defense.
Speaker 1: The launch. Thank you the leader to go where he
Speaker 1: represents leadership, but he's not a leader, and Sue would
Speaker 1: have brought that you need right now on this team. Discipline.
Speaker 1: What on the offensive side, on the of the side
Speaker 1: you needed for the coaches like Keller Moore who's scared
Speaker 1: like like the commander shows you how to play last
Speaker 1: night and how to beat a team like that, how
Speaker 1: to stick to the The guy has twenty four honds
Speaker 1: for one and sixteen for the others running back. Are
Speaker 1: you serious that guy gets away from things because he
Speaker 1: gets happy and he thinks he just lost the league
Speaker 1: and wants to be pass happy. You need to You
Speaker 1: need to discipline on that side, and you need to
Speaker 1: discipline on defense with the penalties, and you stop the
Speaker 1: one game and you can fix a lot of palms
Speaker 1: with the Cowboys. So I just wanted to say that,
Speaker 1: thank you for your time. Thank you very much, Anthony
Speaker 1: Isaiah Thoughts. I didn't know you were so big on
Speaker 1: the Ncdomiican Sue bandwagon. I didn't realize. We talked about
Speaker 1: it last week because sorry, he has attitude. He has attitude.
Speaker 1: You have talent on the defensive front. You don't have
Speaker 1: any attitude on the defensive front, not in the form
Speaker 1: of the interior. I think you have guys that are
Speaker 1: that are exerting really good effort. I think you have
Speaker 1: guys that are successful at times. But when you think
Speaker 1: about when you think about interior defensive alignment, and this
Speaker 1: is no shot at anybody on this roster. You the
Speaker 1: teams that you don't run up the middle owner teams
Speaker 1: have got some goons and goon doesn't just it's not
Speaker 1: a reference that just utilize on your talent and how
Speaker 1: effective you are. A goon is utilized when somebody got
Speaker 1: attitude and it's just a cat. You just don't want
Speaker 1: to mess with it. And I think that so he
Speaker 1: brings that. I don't know if he still got it
Speaker 1: in terms of a player, I mean, I don't know,
Speaker 1: but I know that he the attitude remains right. And
Speaker 1: if you could bring that to the room and teach
Speaker 1: them casts to have that edge to him and get
Speaker 1: that little nastiness, then that talent that they have it
Speaker 1: could be utilized the proper way. I don't disagree with
Speaker 1: the attitude part of it. He clearly has that. Um.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's there's levels to this. So they are
Speaker 1: dogs like I look at like Qubo is a dog,
Speaker 1: for example, to see an interstellar dog or an elite dog.
Speaker 1: Stop stop this man. That one got Patrick, that was
Speaker 1: a good when you got me there. Um, but but
Speaker 1: Sue isn't fat. I mean he's a gool. And now
Speaker 1: the problem is is that can come back to bite
Speaker 1: you in the form of guess what penalties. Every once
Speaker 1: in a while, you know you might see him out
Speaker 1: there stepping on guys U and I do mean literally
Speaker 1: it's been some years that said, Um, I just wonder
Speaker 1: why is he still a free agent if he does
Speaker 1: in fact have Because you make a great point attitude,
Speaker 1: the attitude you would love to have, the nastiness right
Speaker 1: and kind of instilling some fear into the heart of
Speaker 1: opposing offenses. But the alternate point that is equally as
Speaker 1: as uh as obvious is he's still a free agent
Speaker 1: and they're thirty two NFL teams, thirty one outside of
Speaker 1: this building, and nobody he has picked. There's a choice, man,
Speaker 1: when you get to that age, you don't I mean,
Speaker 1: I know it's choice. You wait to say having a season.
Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna be at home for much longer. Yeah,
Speaker 1: here's there's a lot, there's there's two teams that just
Speaker 1: lost Devin's alignement. Could you agree that he doesn't have
Speaker 1: as many suits, says OBJ, of course, right, So yeah, well, Obj,
Speaker 1: you have a clear reason why he's not on the roster,
Speaker 1: and it was the injury he would have been on
Speaker 1: a training point. That's my point point, And that's to
Speaker 1: my point you Dominican Sue doesn't have an injury situation
Speaker 1: that's keeping him off of an NFL roster. So could
Speaker 1: it be that his play is he declined? Could that's
Speaker 1: a chance, it's a chance to what I think it is.
Speaker 1: I think that he's an older player. Yeah. And if
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get out there and get my body beat up,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do it for an opportunity to win a ring. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And I can't tell who's gonna have my opportunity to
Speaker 1: win a ring into the second half of the season. Yeah. Right,
Speaker 1: So you got you got teams like Miami loss of
Speaker 1: D Lyneman, you got the Chargers loss of D Lineman.
Speaker 1: Dallas needs an a front right needs and needs an
Speaker 1: impact player in the insight, So now you can see, okay, okay, okay,
Speaker 1: it's kind of it's kind of panning itself out. Okay,
Speaker 1: these teams look like their competitors. Now let me go
Speaker 1: see who I want to go to. I just feel
Speaker 1: like Tampa although they have the interrastiller talent so vida vea,
Speaker 1: they still could have used in Dominican sue. Oh. When
Speaker 1: they were together, they were nast right. And the fact
Speaker 1: that they saw that tandem being nest and then said
Speaker 1: this offseason said you know what, we'll pass on you.
Speaker 1: We're good on you. Yeah, M gives you pause. Correct, Okay,
Speaker 1: something's there, which makes it makes sense on the pause,
Speaker 1: but it also makes sense of reasoning. It's almost like
Speaker 1: bringing in a Jason Peters in an Anthony Bar. These
Speaker 1: veteran guys that are are not in their prime. They
Speaker 1: were great names in their hanks Hankins, I mean Hankins
Speaker 1: even closer. I guess he was never really that high
Speaker 1: level player that a bar in a sue fair enough,
Speaker 1: and uh Peters at one point was. But this is
Speaker 1: the same kind of deal as maybe try and beef
Speaker 1: something up in the middle with a guy that you
Speaker 1: know is going to bring that veteran attitude and helping out.
Speaker 1: What if it's the situation where, um, what if this
Speaker 1: is just me spacially? What if the Cowboys might have
Speaker 1: some interest in adding Sue? And this is something for
Speaker 1: the lists and the viewers to kind of swirl around
Speaker 1: in their head after the show. But if there might
Speaker 1: be some interest in Sue. But before the Cowboys go
Speaker 1: and do that, they see where things land with OBJ.
Speaker 1: And if OBJ land's here, what are those numbers look like?
Speaker 1: Salary cap wise a CIA, because that's that's the pink
Speaker 1: elephant in the room. Like, you want to make sure
Speaker 1: that you're not in a situation where you're going to
Speaker 1: get sued, maybe slightly overpaid. It will him away from
Speaker 1: someone else, and that forces you to put less money
Speaker 1: on the table for OBJ. I'd rather go for the
Speaker 1: OBJ first. If you don't get that, then you get sued,
Speaker 1: or maybe you it's a situation where you end up
Speaker 1: with the win winning, which is obviously what everybody wants.
Speaker 1: I don't think you get OBJ. You get OBJ on
Speaker 1: like a two year deal that gives you some more
Speaker 1: room to double back and go and get sued because
Speaker 1: the money's on the table. But eight games, you know,
Speaker 1: don't a lot of timeline, a lot of time left
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, don't I'm just saying, don't ruin the
Speaker 1: turkey because you're focused on the corn bread that two
Speaker 1: turkeys at the same time. We have so many metaphors
Speaker 1: on this show, so many, so many metaphors and similes.
Speaker 1: This is our son, I mean, yeah, that's it for
Speaker 1: us here on Talking Cowboys. Hope you had a great
Speaker 1: time with us. Were over the last forty five minutes.
Speaker 1: This is it, gentlemen. We're putting Green Bay behind us. Okay,
Speaker 1: we're turning the page. We're going tomorrow to break down
Speaker 1: the Dallas defense versus the Minnesota offense. If you want
Speaker 1: a high volume, high profile, high intensity matchup, we'll buckle
Speaker 1: up because we're previewing it tomorrow because Minnesota and that
Speaker 1: offense is coming. By the way, we are going to
Speaker 1: start a little bit earlier. Just nine o'clock is when
