Speaker 1: the Star in Frisco, Blowing to the gold line, Scotty
Speaker 1: and now your hosts Isaiah stand Back, heck My Harrison,
Speaker 1: Rob Phillips and Kyle Yeoman's Dallas Cowboys. It is a
Speaker 1: victory Monday here on Talking Cowboys, helping fans get in
Speaker 1: on the game, as always presented by Tostitos, our favorite
Speaker 1: chip and our favorite tip of Talking Cowboys. Welcome in
Speaker 1: to the s WBC studios at the Start and Friskill.
Speaker 1: Following a twenty one to six win over the NFC's
Speaker 1: phone New York Giants, Hey there, everybody, Hey, what's happening
Speaker 1: really fun today? Huh oh? Absolutely? Ten and four? Ten
Speaker 1: and four? Can you believe this? I mean, even going
Speaker 1: back to the early parts and we'll get into the
Speaker 1: nitty gritty. We know it wasn't a pretty win. We're
Speaker 1: gonna talk about it, but ten and four is pretty
Speaker 1: remarkable when you look at where this team was a
Speaker 1: year ago, what the offseason looked like, and all the
Speaker 1: uncertainties that were surrounding. Sometimes you just got to take
Speaker 1: a step back from a season like this and say, wow,
Speaker 1: you've got ten wins and you've still got three to play,
Speaker 1: and all three of those are winnable as well. When
Speaker 1: I was on my way end this morning, I had
Speaker 1: a little conversation with myself. I was thinking about where
Speaker 1: this team came from last year. And now you know,
Speaker 1: you know how I feel about this win. But it's
Speaker 1: a win. But in terms of where this team was
Speaker 1: last year and what they had to overcome, is coach
Speaker 1: McCarthy up for coaching a year. Man, you are gonna
Speaker 1: get just throw stuff thrown at you. I'm wondering because
Speaker 1: I'm wondering. I mean, I'm just saying I agree, I
Speaker 1: completely agree you talk about the turnaround from last year
Speaker 1: this year. That's valid. Yeah, that's only means. I don't
Speaker 1: know about some of these other coaches, but I mean that,
Speaker 1: just that that thought process came in my mind. I'm like,
Speaker 1: he it hasn't been pretty, but it is what it is.
Speaker 1: We're gonna that. We're gonna notte that. So when the
Speaker 1: national media starts talking about that, we'll just say, hey,
Speaker 1: I'm talking Cowboys. Isaiah stand Back said it. He said it,
Speaker 1: he got it in the news cycle. Yeah yeah, like
Speaker 1: ray J. So you think there's members of Cowboys names
Speaker 1: oh Man, Okay, two forty five into the show. Yeah
Speaker 1: that's too Jesus okay, I keep going quickly. So you
Speaker 1: think there's members of Cowboys nations? They're like, I don't know,
Speaker 1: Coach of the Year, pe. It's a lot of people
Speaker 1: who probably have their doubts about play call, not only
Speaker 1: play call, in game management, clock management, all of those things.
Speaker 1: He's been played with. But you're attending four. Your defense
Speaker 1: is playing out of this world. I mean, obviously we're
Speaker 1: gonna get into the offense. And what whoa having birthdays?
Speaker 1: Nate new Birthday? Having birthday? Nate, Hey your birthday? Come on,
Speaker 1: Nate Birthday night. There may have to take Rob's camera
Speaker 1: for this. Absolutely once again we got this whole loud
Speaker 1: brother again going over the mountain to you having birthday
Speaker 1: many the Great Nate Newton the Great. So here's why
Speaker 1: are we always screaming. I don't know why we're screaming,
Speaker 1: but the thing because we won. We won. But the
Speaker 1: podcast studio, So the Dallas Cowboys, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals, the Green Bay Packers. Those are the top teams,
Speaker 1: those are the division leaders in the NFC. Three of
Speaker 1: those four have been there recently, or at least are
Speaker 1: expected to be there. Arizona you could argue hasn't been
Speaker 1: there recently. Cliff Kingsbury could be in that conversation. But
Speaker 1: the fact that the Cowboys are in that conversation, they
Speaker 1: were up at the top of the skit standings there.
Speaker 1: I think it does throw Mike McCarthy into that, at
Speaker 1: least into the realm of possibility. Yeah, I think if
Speaker 1: the I think if the Cardinals get the one seed,
Speaker 1: it's probably Kingsbury because he's a young coach and he's
Speaker 1: he's rising and all that, and they also are way
Speaker 1: more improved than they were in twenty twenty as well. Yeah,
Speaker 1: could be Belichick with the rookie quarterback. But but that's
Speaker 1: you're right, Like he's he's done a great job. He's
Speaker 1: hired assistance that have come in and done. Dan Quinn
Speaker 1: specifically has done a fantastic job this year. I was
Speaker 1: just to your point when you started the show off.
Speaker 1: I was looking at December December twenty twenty twenty Cowboys
Speaker 1: were four and nine. They were this year's New York Giants. Basically,
Speaker 1: so health helps a lot. But we talked about culture
Speaker 1: a lot on this show, defensively especially the culture is
Speaker 1: completely flipped. And now, right now, at this moment, it's
Speaker 1: the strength of your football team. Hey, you say it again.
Speaker 1: It's the strength of your football team right right this minute.
Speaker 1: And if last year, last year, this time I said
Speaker 1: to you, your defense is going to be the strength
Speaker 1: of your team. And they're gonna be the strength of
Speaker 1: your team, and you're gonna have thirty takeaways. I mean,
Speaker 1: no way you would have believed that, No way from
Speaker 1: from where we had come from. And now and Nick
Speaker 1: Eatman's article are ready yesterday, just talking about how this
Speaker 1: defense is the show you want to you want to
Speaker 1: hurry up and see what they're gonna do. What is
Speaker 1: Dan Quinn going to bring next? What is Michael Parsons
Speaker 1: going to do next? And just man Tank Lawrence and
Speaker 1: the addition of him and Randy Gregory, all these guys together, Man,
Speaker 1: that front seven is man. They are devastating. Question, go ahead,
Speaker 1: do you look forward? This is kind of weird. Do
Speaker 1: you look forward to seeing the defense more than you
Speaker 1: look forward to seeing an offense. Yeah, I look forward
Speaker 1: to the third downs now. I want to see who's
Speaker 1: line up, where, what Mike is doing? Is he dropping,
Speaker 1: is he coming? Where's Lawrence lining up? Like? Yeah, it's fun,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's everything they told us it would be.
Speaker 1: And he kind of at one point the season you
Speaker 1: almost kind of rolled your eyes, like, well, are they
Speaker 1: really gonna get everybody back? Yeah? You know they actually
Speaker 1: were missing two defensive tackles yesterday and still got it crazy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And to that point, I mean earlier in the season
Speaker 1: and even going back to the early parts of the season,
Speaker 1: the first six weeks or so, when Dak Prescott was
Speaker 1: coming off the sideline, you looked at Dak Prescott and
Speaker 1: you say, Okay, what's coming up next? Are they gonna
Speaker 1: hit CD or are they gonna hit him? Mark Cooper?
Speaker 1: Is Michael Gallup? I guess during the opening game of
Speaker 1: the year, is he gonna find his way open? You
Speaker 1: felt that intensity. It's the same thing on defense now
Speaker 1: because at some point during that drive, someone's gonna make
Speaker 1: a play. And that was adamant again yesterday. I mean,
Speaker 1: I think one of the things that's happened. Is so
Speaker 1: many outstanding things that happening on defense. I'm sitting on
Speaker 1: the edge of my seat because I don't know when
Speaker 1: trey Von Digg is gonna take one to the house.
Speaker 1: All right, I mean, well, way, this is something special.
Speaker 1: I mean, we're defensive Player of the Year. I mean,
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the year was a Trayvon Diggs
Speaker 1: and the what he was doing, and then it switched
Speaker 1: to Mica. But it's just managed ten interceptions in the season.
Speaker 1: That's that's special, man. Cowboys with the first team since
Speaker 1: the two thousand and seven Chargers with one player with
Speaker 1: ten plus sacks and one player with ten plus interceptions.
Speaker 1: So it's been a long time since you've seen the
Speaker 1: defense like that. Can we throw Everson's name out there?
Speaker 1: Can we tell the NFL world to put some respect
Speaker 1: on Everson Walls's name, the great, the great Everson Walls.
Speaker 1: Because we're talking about Treyvon Diggs and the amazing year
Speaker 1: that he's having and how he's killing it. But then
Speaker 1: when you look at that list, Everson Walls is on
Speaker 1: that list twice eleven interceptions and nine interceptions, Am I correct?
Speaker 1: All right? And we talking about Trayvon. He's in between
Speaker 1: those two right now. He's going he's going after Everson's record. However,
Speaker 1: Everson's done it twice and he's not in the Hall,
Speaker 1: and in an era where they didn't throw the football
Speaker 1: early as much, he's not in the Hall. Somebody please
Speaker 1: put some respect on my unk's name. That's a great
Speaker 1: point because he was a finalist in the last couple
Speaker 1: of years, but not I don't think last year. But
Speaker 1: this actually kind of brings his profile back to the surface.
Speaker 1: So that's great. Yeah, and deserving trey vonn With his
Speaker 1: tenth interception. During the game, Micah's sack, Street comes to
Speaker 1: a close, which is unfortunate. Cowboys didn't really have the
Speaker 1: sack numbers. What they have one two sacks on the game.
Speaker 1: I guess just one sack. They had a combined between
Speaker 1: Gallimore and Dorance Armstrong, but you didn't need it. You
Speaker 1: felt like they were in the backfield. Glennon had zero
Speaker 1: time to throw. I mean, Mike Glennon was not very
Speaker 1: good first off, but thirteen of twenty four ninety nine
Speaker 1: yards and three interceptions under a twenty five passer rating.
Speaker 1: I mean, what did you think about the way this
Speaker 1: defense played and you got to take it with a
Speaker 1: grain assault because it was against the Giants, but they
Speaker 1: did what they needed to do and they executed. Now
Speaker 1: we've been we've been talking about all season, when is
Speaker 1: this defense going to be the reason that we win
Speaker 1: the game? We've been looking for that. We've obviously pretty
Speaker 1: much put it in our heads that the offense is
Speaker 1: going to be what leads this team to have any success.
Speaker 1: And now that tides a turn. I think it just
Speaker 1: shocks everyone to see the defense balling outline game. Man.
Speaker 1: I mean, not the three straight road games and twelve
Speaker 1: turnovers in three I mean, come on, I mean that's outstanding.
Speaker 1: And so at some point, Pete, we've had this conversation
Speaker 1: about the defense obviously winning us some games, but we've
Speaker 1: seen this three consecutive weeks where they've done this. And look,
Speaker 1: the one thing I think, my pet peeve is with
Speaker 1: this victory is there used to be a time we
Speaker 1: talked about the culture difference between some of these things
Speaker 1: and the cell phones last week last Friday. There used
Speaker 1: to be a time in the NFL where you win
Speaker 1: by fifteen points and you run four one hundred and
Speaker 1: twenty four yards. That's great, everybody's satisfied. But we win
Speaker 1: by fifteen points and we still got to defend the offense.
Speaker 1: And to me, that's crazy. I know the question was
Speaker 1: about the defense, but there used to be a time
Speaker 1: where these numbers were satisfactory, but it's not anymore. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And you watch two games last night, and you watched
Speaker 1: the Bucks get shut out for the second time ever
Speaker 1: in Tom Brady's career. Yeah, first time since two thousand
Speaker 1: and six. You watch the Cardinals get blasted by the Lions, blasted,
Speaker 1: just destroyed, one eleven and one Lions, And I think
Speaker 1: it does highlight the fact. And Isaiah knows better than
Speaker 1: anybody in this room how hard it is to win
Speaker 1: a football game in the NFL, regardless of Again, they,
Speaker 1: like Keck said, they've played some quarterbacks that are not
Speaker 1: highly productive quarterbacks Mike Lennon, Taylor Heineke, and Taysom Hill
Speaker 1: the last three weeks, but they get the job done.
Speaker 1: And these stats, these takeaway stats are ridiculous. They have
Speaker 1: four takeaways yesterday, third straight game with four plus. The
Speaker 1: last time that happened was ninety four. And what some
Speaker 1: of what they're doing defensively and Jerry talks about this stuff,
Speaker 1: and yeah, those are great, great dynastic teams, but that
Speaker 1: is their defensive line pressure is like championship level right now.
Speaker 1: It really, it really is. But again again it comes
Speaker 1: back to expectations of what we've seen this offense capable
Speaker 1: of doing what this offense needs to do in order
Speaker 1: to win games in January's and that's you know, that's
Speaker 1: the other side of it. If you want to got
Speaker 1: it'd be a little more critical, and that's our job,
Speaker 1: I guess yep, and I am missed a critical And
Speaker 1: I think that the defense, obviously, the defensive line is
Speaker 1: playing amazing. The secondary is getting more opportunities because of
Speaker 1: the defensive line play, and you heard Digs you know,
Speaker 1: obviously allude to that yesterday in this postgame interview. But
Speaker 1: with the one glaring spot, I think we can't ignore,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm always want to highlight it. Run defense,
Speaker 1: run defense, run defense, run defense. The Giants came in
Speaker 1: yesterday with the intense and with the intent to run
Speaker 1: the ball down the throats of Dallas Cowboys, and they
Speaker 1: were being successful with that. Now it gets to a
Speaker 1: certain point where the game gets out of hand and
Speaker 1: you got to get out the side of your game plan,
Speaker 1: but their initial game plan was being executed to their liking,
Speaker 1: and that is something that we have to figure out.
Speaker 1: We have all our guys back in terms of the
Speaker 1: pass rush and and we were missing some guys in
Speaker 1: the interior yesterday, which obviously doesn't help you with your
Speaker 1: run defense. But that is an area that teams are
Speaker 1: highlighting now. It's just like teams on offense. When they're
Speaker 1: going to get our offense, they're like, hey, this offensive
Speaker 1: line we talked about in the pregame show the left side.
Speaker 1: We could let these boys right, we can put some
Speaker 1: pressure on them now on defense or like, where's the
Speaker 1: whole at crap, let's run the ball. And that's something
Speaker 1: we gotta shure up. No, I mean, you make a
Speaker 1: great point about that, but you know, I thought that
Speaker 1: the run defense was solid all the way up until
Speaker 1: that thirty one yard run by Booker. You know that
Speaker 1: that was the one run that I thought that I
Speaker 1: looked back over the game and like, if you don't
Speaker 1: give up that when you hold him to less than
Speaker 1: one hundred yards, to be ninety one yards or whatever
Speaker 1: it would have been at that time. But you're right,
Speaker 1: I mean, the run defense is something that has to
Speaker 1: be fixed, the big playability. You still have the questions
Speaker 1: in your head, is this a championship level defense? Yeah,
Speaker 1: And you got to continue to ask yourself that over
Speaker 1: the next couple of weeks because it seems like if
Speaker 1: we're gonna continue with the offense at this pace, you're
Speaker 1: gonna need that defensive output and you're gonna need them
Speaker 1: to get more stops and not allow those big runs.
Speaker 1: I'm on your side, whereas I don't think the run
Speaker 1: defense was as bad as Isaiah's kind of eluding it
Speaker 1: to be, because you were talking about this in the
Speaker 1: studio and we disagreed in studio about this because Sequa
Speaker 1: Barkley was the game plan truly on I mean threw
Speaker 1: it to him, They ran it with him. He went
Speaker 1: fifteen carries for fifty yards. He didn't have a carry
Speaker 1: than six. He was done. They destroyed him Without Tristan
Speaker 1: hill in Osa di Gizo, who arguably aren't some of
Speaker 1: your better defensive tackle strengths in terms of stopping the run.
Speaker 1: Booker had his lumps. He was able to run a
Speaker 1: little bit better, kind of like that changeup of Ezekiel Elliott,
Speaker 1: Tony Pollardy was a changeup, and Booker definitely had the
Speaker 1: thirty one yard run. I believe he had another one
Speaker 1: that was like fifteen or so. I feel okay with
Speaker 1: how the defense played yesterday, But again, this is against
Speaker 1: a struggling Giants offense, against the struggling offensive line. If
Speaker 1: that's up against let's say, Denver, it might have been worse.
Speaker 1: If that's up against some of these other teams that
Speaker 1: can run the football a little bit better, might have
Speaker 1: been worse the Green Bay Packers. Let's just say that.
Speaker 1: I see where you're coming from. And it kind of
Speaker 1: goes back to that conversation of is it expectation or
Speaker 1: is it just unsatisfied fans. It's definitely the expectation at
Speaker 1: the point. You want them to be able to stop
Speaker 1: everyone on the run. But they did stop the Giants yesterday. Yeah. No,
Speaker 1: I mean what the main priority they had was obviously
Speaker 1: stopping sae Quon Barkley, and they did that, right, that
Speaker 1: was the number one model. If we bought up se Kuon,
Speaker 1: we went boom facts. Okay, but I don't like those
Speaker 1: little holes. I just personally I don't like those little
Speaker 1: holes because for the Giants to come in and say
Speaker 1: we can run the ball on you, Like, what the heck? Yeah,
Speaker 1: are you serious? Right now? What's you know, what's the
Speaker 1: stop the dog on you know, Green Bay from coming
Speaker 1: in with Jones and dealing and saying, let's see, I
Speaker 1: figured that out about you, ASA, is that you're not
Speaker 1: You're you're looking to the future. Yeah, you're not. You're
Speaker 1: not even dealing with right now right And the whole
Speaker 1: time I've been thinking that you're dealing with right now
Speaker 1: and that ain't where you are you're talking about I
Speaker 1: don't know, yeah, same page now, yeah, all right. So
Speaker 1: in defending a win, uh and the and the defense,
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like, man, if you can do that
Speaker 1: against SA kuon Barkley and bottle him up, what's the
Speaker 1: say who else in the NFC that you're worried about?
Speaker 1: From a running back standpoint? Green Bay obviously has Jones? Yeah,
Speaker 1: and who got hurt last name? I'm not and again
Speaker 1: I'm not when when we talk about this NFL, I'm
Speaker 1: not so concerned about the talent at the running back position.
Speaker 1: I'm more so worried about the schemes. Right, I'm worried
Speaker 1: about the schemes because I honestly think that in this
Speaker 1: NFL they're running backs that are substantially better than the
Speaker 1: other running backs. But for the most part, if you
Speaker 1: have a solid running scheme, you can plug and play.
Speaker 1: You can plug and play. And I truly believe that
Speaker 1: San Francisco exactly, especially when you have a quarterback who
Speaker 1: can throw the thing all over the play. So, yes,
Speaker 1: you're asked, absolutely correct, I am like my competitive level
Speaker 1: is is I don't I don't know to make people
Speaker 1: more competitive than me, right, So when I think about competition,
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about what is it going to take to
Speaker 1: get the ultimate goal, like satisfaction and get into the playoff.
Speaker 1: That's not satisfaction, right. We might be in the playoffs
Speaker 1: as of tonight, right, but we don't. That's not satisfaction.
Speaker 1: What is the ultimate goal, and that's to get that
Speaker 1: dog on ring. So when you start thinking about the
Speaker 1: areas that you need to shore up, who are the
Speaker 1: teams that you were that you may face that you
Speaker 1: have to face in order to get that dog on ring?
Speaker 1: And is that level a player that you currently at
Speaker 1: right now good enough to get you there? And the
Speaker 1: answer has to be no. In certain areas now they're
Speaker 1: other teams are gonna have their off days too. Yeah, right,
Speaker 1: they're not gonna be They're not gonna be one hundred
Speaker 1: percent on every single thing that they're doing. But that's
Speaker 1: that's the approach that you have to take Tampa Bay yesterday.
Speaker 1: Not on there, Absolutely not at all. It was ever
Speaker 1: a point in this game where you felt as though
Speaker 1: that the Cowboys didn't have control, No, and we're gonna
Speaker 1: get into the offense. But I thought it in certain
Speaker 1: spots it was reflective in the play calling where they
Speaker 1: felt like, ah, we don't have to go too deep
Speaker 1: in the bag necessarily because we just take the points,
Speaker 1: don't take a sack. I'm thinking of the third down
Speaker 1: before halftime. Yeah, I didn't feel like it was And look,
Speaker 1: I mean that's the run defense stuff. That's the kind
Speaker 1: of thing Dan Quinn's gonna point out in the film
Speaker 1: room today is that we gotta sharpen this up. We
Speaker 1: gotta sharpen that up. To your point, you take away
Speaker 1: that thirty one yard run by Booker and it's I
Speaker 1: think it's four yards of carry that they got in
Speaker 1: the game, but it counts, you know, the fifty eight
Speaker 1: yard run by Tony Pollard in New Orleans changed the
Speaker 1: game for the Cowboys. Didn't run it really well outside
Speaker 1: of that, but it counts. So you get in the playoffs,
Speaker 1: you got to tighten those things up. No lots of
Speaker 1: good points all over the place, because I mean that's
Speaker 1: the thing is the offense still hasn't hit that ceiling
Speaker 1: that we've seen them hit previously. We're gonna talk about
Speaker 1: that when we come back on the other side of
Speaker 1: the break. Can this Cowboys offense continue to take positive
Speaker 1: steps after yesterday? Because I think yesterday was a positive
Speaker 1: step and we'll tell you why. Well, we come back
Speaker 1: right after this. There's nothing as unique as our eyes,

Speaker 1: But I'm right there with you. But glad you're with
Speaker 1: us here on talking Cowboys. It is a victory Monday.
Speaker 1: Cowboys are ten and four and thanks to the Lions,
Speaker 1: thanks to the Saints that a Will Ferrell, not so
Speaker 1: much to the Ravens. They almost did your favor. They
Speaker 1: almost got you there. But the Cowboys are the number
Speaker 1: two seed in the NFC at the moment, and they
Speaker 1: are pretty much a win, a tie, a loss, I
Speaker 1: mean one game away. Their magic numbers at one for
Speaker 1: the NFC East Division, so plenty to think about. What
Speaker 1: would it take to have the number one seed at
Speaker 1: that exact just looking at it, it all it would
Speaker 1: take is for you to win out and for Green
Speaker 1: Bay to lose one. That's all it is. They got left.
Speaker 1: They've got hold up. I just had it, Miss Chris,
Speaker 1: She's got the Browns Cleveland yet Browns next week. Then
Speaker 1: they've got Minnesota in week seventeen at home, and then
Speaker 1: week eighteen they're on the road against the red hot
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions. That'd be two of those three are tough. Now,
Speaker 1: which two the Minnesota and um, yeah, and no in
Speaker 1: the Browns Cleveland, but they just beat Arizona thirty to
Speaker 1: thirt Cleveland. Cleveland is if they can get that defense
Speaker 1: is nasty and it is. That game is indeed in
Speaker 1: Lambeau as well. So they've got two of their last
Speaker 1: three at home, much like the Cowboys do. Um, it's
Speaker 1: gonna be tough to see them up ended. But it
Speaker 1: is the NFL and we saw it just like it
Speaker 1: was yesterday with the much rather have our schedule than theirs.
Speaker 1: I would agree with that. Maybe the Cardinals, that's tough.
Speaker 1: Cardinals is gonna be tough even with their injuries. Philly
Speaker 1: game in week eighteen, well, Cardinals game too. Cowboys have
Speaker 1: not swept the division since nineteen ninety eight and against Minnesota,
Speaker 1: UM yeah, I just that game up. There is always
Speaker 1: a pan the end of it. Yeah, but he said,
Speaker 1: I think Heckma was the one that pointed it out
Speaker 1: back in But schedule release time in May, and he
Speaker 1: was like, oh, of course they're gonna throw us in
Speaker 1: Philadelphia in the middle of January, and not even December. January,
Speaker 1: it's the second week of January. They're gonna throw the
Speaker 1: Cowboys up in fil and hopefully we have it all
Speaker 1: locked up done by them. Yeah, wepe, Yeah, that would
Speaker 1: be nice. But first round by is everything, man, especially
Speaker 1: this year, especially everything now that they've moved into the
Speaker 1: seven team format. You, I mean, only one team gets
Speaker 1: that buying two games two game win streak is a
Speaker 1: lot better than a three game win streak when it
Speaker 1: comes to the playoffs. Would much rather only have to
Speaker 1: win two That it's is It is a game changer,
Speaker 1: So you don't care about the rust stuff, but rest
Speaker 1: first rust and that No, heck no, would you know
Speaker 1: the level of competition that you're gonna have from the
Speaker 1: first week of playoffs up into the NFAC Championship. You
Speaker 1: want to play two games. You want to play one
Speaker 1: game NFC Championship. That's all. You want to do one
Speaker 1: game NFC Championship. You do not want to have to
Speaker 1: go through one two games and then go to that
Speaker 1: championship game. Does that? How does that work with Tampa
Speaker 1: beating us as far as the time. That's why I
Speaker 1: asked that question. Yeah, it's conference record, right, it is, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: So it's a three way tie. It's conference record. If
Speaker 1: it's head to head, it's I mean if it's one
Speaker 1: of two teams, meaning like and the Cowboys have the
Speaker 1: best conference record out of anybody in the NFL. They're
Speaker 1: eight and one against in the NFC's undefeated in the
Speaker 1: NFC since the opener, since the open two, Tampa eight
Speaker 1: straight against the conference. Green Bay's eight and two. Tampa
Speaker 1: Bay is six and four against the NFC, so all
Speaker 1: four of their losses have come in the conference. And
Speaker 1: then Arizona's also six and four. So Cowboys look really
Speaker 1: good in terms of tie breakers. You just need that
Speaker 1: one more win and then also you gotta talk about
Speaker 1: business away. God man, they were one play away from
Speaker 1: getting it done. So you're watching it like this, My wife,
Speaker 1: My wife is trying to talk to me. I was
Speaker 1: liked on hold on, hold on, hold on hold on
Speaker 1: right now. If the if the season were to end today,
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys would be the two seed, Green Bay
Speaker 1: would be the one seed with the buy the two
Speaker 1: seed would play the seven seed and that's the New
Speaker 1: Orleans Saints at the moment, which we saw what their
Speaker 1: defense did yesterday. That by man, so you want that
Speaker 1: by San Francisco's the sixth seed, Los Angeles five, Arizona four,
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay three, and then of course Dallas team. So
Speaker 1: that by that Saints win looks a little bit better
Speaker 1: after last night. I think it definitely there going into
Speaker 1: New Orleans. The defense is really good. I'm not saying
Speaker 1: the offense is where it needs to be, but that
Speaker 1: winning that game three straight road wood runs are impressive.
Speaker 1: Struggles with New Orleans they struggled last year. That's the
Speaker 1: That's the thing that's erie about them losing too to
Speaker 1: the Saints. This year. They look it looks just like
Speaker 1: last year. They struggle with the les. You know, I
Speaker 1: told Nick on the plane, I would maybe it was Nick.
Speaker 1: I said, it's interesting because if you beat Arizona, you
Speaker 1: actually lose a seed. What how does that happen? Well,
Speaker 1: because right now you're tied with Arizona Tampa Bay and
Speaker 1: uh it's US, Arizona Tampa Bay all the same record, right, Yeah, Okay,
Speaker 1: Well if you beat Arizona, now you and Tampa Bay
Speaker 1: have the same record, and it's head to head, it
Speaker 1: goes back to head to head, and you flip, what
Speaker 1: why what about conference record? Why would you go back
Speaker 1: to head when it comes to head? Okay, the first
Speaker 1: the first tiebreaker is head to head. If it's a
Speaker 1: three team, does that make sense? Yes, then it goes
Speaker 1: to conference record because there's three teams involved. If it's
Speaker 1: two teams, it's head to its head to head Tampa Bay.
Speaker 1: We flipped tyrone, Willy, how about that? That's very interesting,
Speaker 1: huh because yeah, right now, since it's three teams, it's
Speaker 1: conference right. Wow, that's wild. So if you if you
Speaker 1: get to head to head, my brain hurt. Thanks Chris,
Speaker 1: it's crazy. Yeah, thank you for pointing that out, because
Speaker 1: that's prettybody that week. All right, let's talk about this offense.
Speaker 1: Cowboys yesterday running for two or excuse me, running for
Speaker 1: one hundred yards one twenty five to be exact. And
Speaker 1: they also threw for two hundred or over two hundred.
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott two seventeen, a touchdown, no interceptions, had his
Speaker 1: quarterback rating back up. Heckmo, when you look at this offense,
Speaker 1: did you think it was a step forward to getting
Speaker 1: back to the explosive side as much as it was
Speaker 1: just another game against the bad defense. Man. I think
Speaker 1: you see the difference immediately on the offensive line, what
Speaker 1: Connor Williams did being able to show up and make
Speaker 1: sure that we could run the ball. I think Zeke,
Speaker 1: when we talked about him all week and his health,
Speaker 1: and that's the first time that we've seen Zeke play
Speaker 1: that he actually looked healthy. And I don't know, man,
Speaker 1: I don't know much about plantar fascitis and all that,
Speaker 1: but it don't look like Tony Pollard has any residual
Speaker 1: going on with that injury. But look, let's just deal
Speaker 1: with the elephant in the room. The passing game. It
Speaker 1: still doesn't look like it's on track. Dak still looks
Speaker 1: as though he missed some throws. But there were some
Speaker 1: key drops in this game, guys, that you know you
Speaker 1: cannot ignore. And there's so much just being made a
Speaker 1: by QB percentage and YadA, YadA, YadA. But when you
Speaker 1: drop the ball, when you have bad throws like that,
Speaker 1: and also defenses are just saying, dude, you're not gonna
Speaker 1: air us out. We're gonna take away these deep passes.
Speaker 1: We're gonna try and let you take everything underneath. And
Speaker 1: you saw a certain point. I don't know if it
Speaker 1: was the second quarter, but they're jumping those slant routes.
Speaker 1: They know that the Cowboys are trying to get to
Speaker 1: the middle of the field. But Shultz drift kings, but Shultz, somebody,
Speaker 1: somebody came through clutch And finally we've been begging with
Speaker 1: the tight ends to have some you know, some effect
Speaker 1: on the game. I think even Sprinkle uh, he had
Speaker 1: a few catches that were key. Um. I think the
Speaker 1: blocking was a little bit better, but still, man, I
Speaker 1: think we still have some things to fix, and we
Speaker 1: have time to fix them. Agreed. Agreed. I think the
Speaker 1: drops have to stop. I don't know. I know there's
Speaker 1: probably two of those drops. I think CD said that
Speaker 1: he couldn't see because of the shadow, the shadow and
Speaker 1: the sun kind of coming through. I mean that's what
Speaker 1: he said. I'm just going off of what the visual.
Speaker 1: So two of those drops and he has he has
Speaker 1: a three four total, rob is that an official number?
Speaker 1: He said three? CD had three two seems sun related.
Speaker 1: One was yeah. One word he tried to one hand.
Speaker 1: It looked like yeah, exactly oh three for CD. I
Speaker 1: was talking overall. I want to say there was probably
Speaker 1: four or five, yes, at least four. And if you
Speaker 1: have those four or five, the two seventeen looks a lot.
Speaker 1: He's probably yeah, yeah, exactly, So those drops have to
Speaker 1: go away. Uh. To Heckman's point, even with those say
Speaker 1: take those drops out of it, Dack, still it doesn't
Speaker 1: look like Dack. And it was better. It was better
Speaker 1: his his his movement in the pocket, and when we're
Speaker 1: watching the game live, his movement in the pocket was
Speaker 1: substantially better. He looked more compete, he looked more confident
Speaker 1: moving into pocket. Now his decision making was still had
Speaker 1: a little hitching the guinea up. Okay, he had a
Speaker 1: little hitching to guea up. But I was I was
Speaker 1: very elated to see his movement in the pocket, you know,
Speaker 1: being a lot better because it positions you as a quarterback.
Speaker 1: Your footwork is better. You know the play where he
Speaker 1: moved into pocket and then threw back across his body
Speaker 1: to gallop. That was an amazing play. Nobody's looking at
Speaker 1: that play. That play is freaking tough for in terms
Speaker 1: of how he moved into pocket, working his way to
Speaker 1: the left and throwing back to his right. That was
Speaker 1: huge in terms of his confidence. And I hope that
Speaker 1: he he circles that plays like okay, that that looks
Speaker 1: like me and right, and he allows himself to really
Speaker 1: build off of that play. Yeah, there was another play too,
Speaker 1: moving to his left, pocket breaks down and he's able
Speaker 1: to buy time and throw to the he was to
Speaker 1: the left the CD quick completion on third down keep
Speaker 1: the drive going. I was like, that's that's Dak's command
Speaker 1: and poisons move and all that. So that, yeah, encouraging
Speaker 1: run game helps. I think that probably helped him kind
Speaker 1: of feel a little more rhythm with the offense. We
Speaker 1: got to talk about the red zone. The red zone
Speaker 1: is still a huge problem. They were two of five
Speaker 1: in the game yesterday, one for six the week before,
Speaker 1: three for eleven the last two games, and I don't
Speaker 1: I'm not sure why. I don't know. I think ultimately though,
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore has got to scheme some things up to
Speaker 1: figure it out. I mean, I think his job as
Speaker 1: play caller and he talks about this kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: We'll talk to him today. They've got to figure something
Speaker 1: out schematically to get guys open to do it. But
Speaker 1: heck Wright like generally shell coverage giants making him throw sideways,
Speaker 1: making him throw underneath. And that's why those drops are
Speaker 1: big because when you those chances present themselves where there's
Speaker 1: some holes in there, want to see these drops that
Speaker 1: would have been a huge completion twenty thirty yards. He
Speaker 1: might have still been running, So you can't have that.
Speaker 1: I think Kellen Mooren in again, this is in my opinion,
Speaker 1: I believe that Kellen Moore is resting assured too much
Speaker 1: into these guys' ability to get open and just just
Speaker 1: straight up routes routes on air right, just being a
Speaker 1: line up and say I can run a better route
Speaker 1: than you can defend. I think he has to get
Speaker 1: back to some misdirection. He has to get back to
Speaker 1: some switch releases, some bunch sets, things of that nature
Speaker 1: to create confusion within those defensive schemes. Because right now
Speaker 1: he's literally just lining up and saying, okay, running this
Speaker 1: route and you should win. And that's the thing that
Speaker 1: really surprises me because you would think that that's what's
Speaker 1: being handled from Wednesday to Sunday from you know, those
Speaker 1: are the reps that these guys are taken. Whether you
Speaker 1: don't have a padded practice or not. Like you said
Speaker 1: on air, you just have to make sure that we
Speaker 1: are executing that which is not executing well enough. And
Speaker 1: you see that. I've seen a few times where last
Speaker 1: week the past that was intercepted by the linebacker for
Speaker 1: the pick six, he went right back to at this
Speaker 1: game and it was tipped by the linebacker this time.
Speaker 1: Just not able to drop that ball in the way
Speaker 1: that they're making him throw the ball. It's literally those
Speaker 1: throws that are in between defend and I think we're
Speaker 1: having problems with those. And you saw that on the ball.
Speaker 1: They're saying that the ball got caught up in the
Speaker 1: win on the one to Michael Gallop on the sideline,
Speaker 1: but again he's having to drop that. That's what they said, Isaiah.
Speaker 1: Come on, now, he got caught in the win, but
Speaker 1: it was behind him and it was in between two defenders.
Speaker 1: But those are the kind of players that you have
Speaker 1: to make in the playoffs. You have to make those
Speaker 1: in order to move the chack. You get maybe two
Speaker 1: or three os a game, right, and they seem I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, you're right, like they seem content not
Speaker 1: to have to force it down the field because I
Speaker 1: think they they didn't have They had plenty of confidence
Speaker 1: that they could win this game with twenty points, which
Speaker 1: is kind of what they've been averaging in December. Offensively
Speaker 1: right now three though, No I know, but I'm saying
Speaker 1: that that's a credit to their defense, so that there,
Speaker 1: Do they feel like we don't have to force things? Yeah? Absolutely?
Speaker 1: With that being said, do you feel like it is
Speaker 1: a conservative effort to be conservative to take your foot
Speaker 1: off the gas? Is that something that Kellen Morris thought
Speaker 1: about as Hey, we went deep into that bag and
Speaker 1: they're really parts of the season to see what we
Speaker 1: have to go back to the workshop. Do you want
Speaker 1: to come back to me? Needs to go back to
Speaker 1: the workshop and low it up before Christmas is Saturday,
Speaker 1: and he's a low back up. Get back ready to
Speaker 1: build that bag back up, because I don't think that's
Speaker 1: the case. I don't either. Somebody looking at it might say, oh,
Speaker 1: maybe they're just saving a little bit, but I know
Speaker 1: what you're doing. You're playing on words here. But how
Speaker 1: did you feel about the play calling at the end
Speaker 1: of the first half. Oh, I did not like it.
Speaker 1: I also didn't like the fact that they let the
Speaker 1: clock run down and they kicked the field goal and
Speaker 1: called the time out, calling time out there, you're inside, like,
Speaker 1: what would have had ten seconds? You would have nine seconds?
Speaker 1: Take one shot to the zone, falls incomplete, It falls incomplete,
Speaker 1: Trust your quarterback to not turn the football over there,
Speaker 1: and then go for the end zone. Yeah. I wanted
Speaker 1: to see a long drive, sustained, methodical working down the field,
Speaker 1: and that needs more tension than this getting Because when
Speaker 1: I remember we watched that live, I was yelling in
Speaker 1: the Doggon studio, I'm like, what the heck coming time out?
Speaker 1: You got ten seconds, you got one shot to the
Speaker 1: end zone. If it's if it's there, freaking take it.
Speaker 1: If it's not there, throw it out the back of
Speaker 1: the end zone, and then kick a field goal. The fact,
Speaker 1: the fact that you just let the time run down
Speaker 1: and just say we're gonna kick a field goal. But
Speaker 1: what what is that? What does that communicate to your
Speaker 1: team in terms of your confidence level? But would that
Speaker 1: have been the case if it was the same scenario,
Speaker 1: same timing, same score, and it was the Arizona Cardinals
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers on the I don't give a
Speaker 1: dog all I would know if it would be But
Speaker 1: in your approach. I don't care who your opponent is
Speaker 1: in your approach is simple game management. It's simple game management.
Speaker 1: We got ten seconds left. Guess what we got timeouts
Speaker 1: to burn? Freaking call the time out. We're taking a shot.
Speaker 1: We're taking a shot now, I'm I'm Now it's up
Speaker 1: to me as a play caller to put us in
Speaker 1: a position to have a nice shot at the end
Speaker 1: zone and make sure that hey, you got you don't
Speaker 1: have two reads. You know it's not one to two.
Speaker 1: If you got one read, if it's there there, drive
Speaker 1: it to them, get to touchdown or guess what it's
Speaker 1: gonna be incompletion, and now we still have the field goal. Right,
Speaker 1: You don't play around, get all all all creative in
Speaker 1: that scenario. But I did not like that he just
Speaker 1: let the time right now, because that is communicating to
Speaker 1: you guys. Yeah, let's not let's not risk anything right here.
Speaker 1: Let's just go ahead and take these for sure points
Speaker 1: with an offense that needs I mean, look at him
Speaker 1: versus hardball last night. No to two different sides. Now,
Speaker 1: that's a great point, and I'm only asking for perception wise,
Speaker 1: you're saying that that can be perceived by your team.
Speaker 1: Is that a lack of trust in your offense? But
Speaker 1: what if it says I have full trust in my defense.
Speaker 1: If you're up fifteen to three, you're not. You hadn't.
Speaker 1: They hadn't gotten anything going at that point. They didn't
Speaker 1: feel threatened. They I don't feel threatening, So you don't,
Speaker 1: So you don't want to No, No, I know what
Speaker 1: you're saying. I know, and I agree with. However, what
Speaker 1: is your job as an O coordinator school to ensure
Speaker 1: that you get points? Right? And it's too ensure that
Speaker 1: you get points. So that's getting the field goal clocking
Speaker 1: right down to three. That's ensuring that you get points.
Speaker 1: But you're also your job is to get as many
Speaker 1: points as you can. So get as many points as
Speaker 1: you can if we have an opportunity to and guess what,
Speaker 1: we make sure that we have the play call as
Speaker 1: such that we don't take any point points off the board.
Speaker 1: Yeah right, So I'm gonna take my shot, but I'm
Speaker 1: gonna take a shot that is that is a high
Speaker 1: percentage play and if it doesn't score, then it's out
Speaker 1: of bounce. And guess what, then, I still ensure that
Speaker 1: we get our three points. And that's all. I was asked,
Speaker 1: that's all I was looking at in that scenario, and
Speaker 1: it I was frustrated because I'm sitting I don't give
Speaker 1: a dog on'y. If we're up by sixty, you still
Speaker 1: take your shot. Mike was asked about it. He said,
Speaker 1: we were right on the threshold of the yellow zone.
Speaker 1: Instead of going one more play and then kick it,
Speaker 1: I just wanted the three points there. I wanted to
Speaker 1: make sure we got the three points out of there.
Speaker 1: What's three points even automatic at that point in the
Speaker 1: ball game. But by saying that, read that last part again,
Speaker 1: I just wanted to what. I just wanted to make
Speaker 1: sure I got the first three points out of there.
Speaker 1: So by not taking a shot, you're saying, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. By by not even taking an opportunity
Speaker 1: to get a touchdown, you were threatened by the fact
Speaker 1: that something bad may have happened. The only thing that
Speaker 1: gives me bubble guts about that whole thing is the
Speaker 1: message that you're saying. They're sending the message that you
Speaker 1: don't trust something you know. And I think that you
Speaker 1: talk about conservative play calling and the fact that this
Speaker 1: team up until that point was completely dominating this game,
Speaker 1: and the Giants had no rhythm at all on offense.
Speaker 1: I think it. I'm personally thinking that maybe it sends
Speaker 1: a message that we're putting this on our defense to
Speaker 1: carry us through it. They took up. Don't you flip that.
Speaker 1: He just told you in that quote that I wanted
Speaker 1: to ensure that I got three points, so by taking
Speaker 1: a shot at the end zone, I would have ran
Speaker 1: the risk of something bad happened something. That's what he's saying.
Speaker 1: Something bad did happen on a previous drive third and
Speaker 1: four earlier in the second quarter, ball on the Giants twelve.
Speaker 1: He got sacked for a twelve yard loss. Yeah, that's true,
Speaker 1: and it forced them into a forty two yard field
Speaker 1: goal with those conditions, and he just let's just take
Speaker 1: the point. That's because a lot of the players that
Speaker 1: Keller Moore's calling right now. We talked about this in
Speaker 1: studio too, is that the plays are too long. The
Speaker 1: duration of the players are entirely Yeah, these guys are
Speaker 1: taking it's taken too long to develop. Dack's having being
Speaker 1: forced to hold the ball and on compounding the issue
Speaker 1: of him not making sound decisions and quick decisions, he's
Speaker 1: holding the ball and waiting for guys to get all
Speaker 1: the way open. All right, So that's the issue in itself.
Speaker 1: But the fact that you didn't say, the fact that
Speaker 1: he said, I want to make sure I got out
Speaker 1: here with three points. Bro take your shot, drop back,
Speaker 1: get the dog on snap, take a shot on a
Speaker 1: fade route. If it's they're awesome. If it's not out
Speaker 1: of bounds, let's kick the dog on field goal. But
Speaker 1: you took a shot. As as much as I agree
Speaker 1: with everything you just said, I still think if this
Speaker 1: was a different scenario, if this was a different week,
Speaker 1: I think it would be different. I'm not saying that
Speaker 1: should be the case Tooey. You play the way you
Speaker 1: play all the way through, all right, don't play down
Speaker 1: to your opponent. But at the same time, I feel like,
Speaker 1: if this was a different week, at different scenario, I
Speaker 1: think it would have been a different so hard I
Speaker 1: was like, what, hey, hey, are you letting it right
Speaker 1: down to three seconds? Are you taking a shot? I'm
Speaker 1: taking the shot. Are the shot? Ye taking a shot?
Speaker 1: Thank you very what's the risk of that thing? All right?

Speaker 1: balled out yesterday man, and he was bringing the heat
Speaker 1: as all of the offensive linemen now are starting to
Speaker 1: key in on the Bazuka. They are forgetting that number
Speaker 1: ninety may take your running back's head off if you
Speaker 1: don't block them. So this little kiwik hey lookle kiwik
Speaker 1: kiwi Tank I got you out, forced fumble, pretty much
Speaker 1: forced the first interception to happen as well as he
Speaker 1: destroyed Mike Glennon and Jordan Lewis was able to get
Speaker 1: that pick he flattened Mike. You got, Isaiah, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: continue to roll with my guy Dan to the freaking
Speaker 1: Quinn boy. And I'm gonna go a little great fruit
Speaker 1: right here, I believe right food orange one or the two.
Speaker 1: Either way, if you squeeze this hard enough, Okay, it
Speaker 1: would get in your eye, all right, I begin your
Speaker 1: eyes going burne juice. So I think that's a line.
Speaker 1: There's no way that's a freaking line. I'll be there
Speaker 1: either way, any of those three. Okay, I think it's
Speaker 1: in the eye. It's gonna sting, Okay, right now he
Speaker 1: is stinging every offense that he steps up against. Yes, right,
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna ahead and get this d q aka
Speaker 1: dan Quinn. Put there right at there, put there right
Speaker 1: on the top of the Christmas tree, right thing. He's
Speaker 1: gotten a couple of those. Don't let that juice juice?
Speaker 1: Oh who are you going with? People? Well, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't think you can get ten interceptions in a
Speaker 1: season with three games left and not get a smelly sticker. Oh,
Speaker 1: we already got the same one up here. That's okay,
Speaker 1: Trayvon Dicks, get another gigantic strawberry. We're not gonna have
Speaker 1: any room on this helmet anymore. He is just the
Speaker 1: second player in the last ten years eleven years to
Speaker 1: get double digit interceptions in a season. Zay Howard had
Speaker 1: ten last year, and now Trayvon Dix does and he's
Speaker 1: back in conversation for NFL Defensive Player of the Year.
Speaker 1: I think, how about picks is nuts no matter who
Speaker 1: it is, how it happens. I've got this little peach.
Speaker 1: He's got some strong hands right here. Strong, He's got
Speaker 1: some strong hands. It's him. He's flex it a little bit.
Speaker 1: He's flexing a little bit. And the reason why I
Speaker 1: work with strong I work with children mostly. That one
Speaker 1: over there or that guy, he's a child. Look at
Speaker 1: this dude, Chris, can you put his camera on real quick?
Speaker 1: He can't even uncomfortable. You gotta see that movie, man. Okay,
Speaker 1: it's incredible. He's flexing because we have collectively given him
Speaker 1: a lot of flak over the last couple of weeks
Speaker 1: because he has not played exceptionally well. We needed him
Speaker 1: to be stronger, We need him to be to step
Speaker 1: up in big time scenarios, and he did that yesterday.
Speaker 1: Eight targets, eight receptions, Dalts and Schultz with a touchdown.
Speaker 1: Dalton Schultz also gets a smelly sticker. Have you recovered yet?
Speaker 1: Not yet? My friend, No, I didn't think that, ruy man,
Speaker 1: that's my movie right there? Can we can we do
Speaker 1: an honorable mention real quick? Sure? Why not? I bought
Speaker 1: the law firm of Connor and Connor, Connor Bros. The
Speaker 1: Connor bros. Stepped up, we need to get I think
Speaker 1: I think Connor Williams was the right movie and left tackle.
Speaker 1: Do you guys think the safeguard the left guard? Sorry, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean we talked about it during the week, But
Speaker 1: I think the other side of it was they felt
Speaker 1: like they needed to get that two back offense going
Speaker 1: a little bit and get the macpackage back in jumbo
Speaker 1: packet next of those guys that are pretty dog on
Speaker 1: a good job too. Sure did, yep, sure did. We
Speaker 1: talked about the continuity of the offensive line. We had
Speaker 1: a few changes, but you know, time to second fielding
Speaker 1: quite well. Thought he get help in pass protection in
Speaker 1: some spots. That's why they did that. Hey, guys, there
Speaker 1: you go. We're tenning four. How about that about it?
