It is a 0:00:45.680 --> 0:00:51.479 playoff victory Tuesday from the Star in Frisco in the 0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:56.320 s WBC studios. This is Talking Cowboys, presented by Black 0:00:56.400 --> 0:01:00.480 Rifle Coffee Company. As we break down the cow Cowboys 0:01:00.920 --> 0:01:03.880 moving on to the Divisional round with a thirty one 0:01:04.080 --> 0:01:09.400 fourteen thrashing of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Welcome in, everybody, 0:01:09.400 --> 0:01:13.000 Glad you're with us alongside Isaiah stand back, Patrick Nose Walker, 0:01:13.160 --> 0:01:16.280 I'm Kyle Yeoman's We've got Chris Beam in the back. Gentleman, 0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:22.520 How are we doing fantastic? I'm doing swell, Kyle doing great, 0:01:22.720 --> 0:01:26.920 doing great? I'm doing great. How about that Tony the 0:01:26.920 --> 0:01:31.640 Tiger in here? Because you nailed it the Cowboys. I 0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:33.640 did nail it. I put it on Twitter. I'm done 0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:35.920 bragging because I want to brag about the team who 0:01:36.080 --> 0:01:38.160 I want to brag about what they did that man 0:01:38.280 --> 0:01:42.360 Tampa Bay. That team went out and did what they 0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:47.040 absolutely needed to and they got the job done. Now 0:01:47.520 --> 0:01:50.280 it had some ups, it had some downs. Their improvements 0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:53.840 still to be made, which is encouraging because going into 0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:57.280 San Francisco, you're gonna need to make some improvements. However, 0:01:57.560 --> 0:02:00.280 we can rest on this one because this was what 0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:03.720 that that that Cowboys team that we had been hoping 0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:08.200 and praying to seeing the H word finally founded Isaiah. 0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:10.800 They did. They did, and we had nothing but hope 0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:13.040 to go off of coming into this game because we 0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:16.840 know based upon history this year they played down to 0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:19.920 down teams and they play up for up teams, and 0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:23.799 we were hoping that being the playoffs, you're gonna be 0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:25.440 playing an up team. No matter who they are, there's 0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:27.920 gonna be a team that's on the up. So history 0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:30.920 stated as no see would say that they were gonna 0:02:30.919 --> 0:02:33.760 be trending in the playing well category right and in 0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:36.720 that direction, and they did that. They showed up, they 0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:40.000 played well. I think this is one of their better 0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:42.640 victories of the year, if not the best victory of 0:02:42.639 --> 0:02:47.120 the year. Because of the turn of the Tide in 0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:49.280 terms of how they went about it, I think that 0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:52.440 this team was more prepared than they've been all year long, 0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:55.639 and that's the way it should have been. Offensively, obviously, 0:02:55.680 --> 0:02:59.040 they were more prepared. They were making great decisions. Offensively, 0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:03.040 they were running the ball that the passing game was pristine. 0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:06.959 Dak's decision making was on point, utilized his legs and 0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:10.239 moved the chains. He was smart with the ball. Defensively, 0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:13.240 these guys, you know, Al Harris, dan Quinn, the rest 0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:15.639 of Joe Way Junior, all these guys allowed these defensive 0:03:15.639 --> 0:03:18.320 backs to come up like we talked about and bless 0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:21.119 these receivers of Tampa Bay by putting their hands on them. 0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:22.959 We said that you can't play off, right, There's a 0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:24.320 couple of times in the game where you saw they 0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:26.280 played off and they took the easy ones, they got 0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:29.160 the easy completions. But when our defensive backs came up 0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:32.560 and they put them hands on them chests, that's right, 0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:34.560 they went the pound town. Okay, So they did a 0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:36.640 great job of getting up there, and because of that, 0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:41.480 it disrupted Tom's timing, It disrupted Mike Evans, disrupted God 0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:44.000 when all those guys that were gonna play huge integral 0:03:44.040 --> 0:03:46.960 roles in terms of their potential success. It disrupted their 0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:48.600 ability to get off the ball, and we said that's 0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:51.640 what was needed to give our defensive front an opportunity 0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:54.040 to get home and cause having in the backfield. They 0:03:54.040 --> 0:03:57.480 did so collectively. Amazing job by all the players. But 0:03:57.560 --> 0:03:59.680 I want to give a big kudos out to the 0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:03.120 US up in defensive staffs for preparing these guys for 0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:07.360 this game. We'll get to the special team concerned an 0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:10.760 addressing it was a two phase game, right because right now, 0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:13.440 let's let's focus on what the Cowboys did well, and 0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:17.200 damn it, there was so much of it. Right. We 0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:20.159 talked about resiliency going into this game, and I know 0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:22.000 Isaiah hates the word hope, but like I said, it 0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:24.840 wasn't blind hope. There was evidence to support it. Cowboys 0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:27.479 still have not lost two games in a row. That's 0:04:27.520 --> 0:04:29.599 quite telling of what this team is capable of. And 0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:31.960 we said ahead of last week, yes, one of the 0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:35.000 problems was that they played down to competition, but this 0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:38.159 is the playoffs, so theoretically speaking, there's no competition to 0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:40.320 play down too. Because even if you look at the 0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:42.720 Buccaneers record, you say, okay, well, that's not a good team, 0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:45.920 but it's Tom Brady. It's Tom Brady being seven into 0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:48.680 against your franchise. So that was one of your boogeymen. 0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:51.600 The other boogeyman, boogy Man didn't make it into the playoffs, 0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:53.720 but this was one of your boogeyman. So I was 0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:56.160 sitting there on the flight wrapping up some articles, and 0:04:56.200 --> 0:05:00.520 I started thinking, Kyle's gonna ask me, what's my what's 0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:04.440 my big takeaway? I had one, two, three, four, and 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:06.039 all of a sudden, I had a list. Oh, so 0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:10.719 let's talk. Here's my list, ladies, and of takeaways from 0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:14.800 the Cowboys obliteration because that thirty one fourteen didn't tell 0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:18.120 the whole story. Yep. Defeat Brady for the first time. 0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:22.080 Check do it in the playoffs. Check do it on 0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:24.880 the road for the first time since the early nineties. 0:05:24.960 --> 0:05:28.599 Check set a quarterback franchise record in doing it. Check 0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:33.040 after playing one of his worst games ever. Check stout 0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:37.840 pass defense against a stable of wide receivers. Check stout 0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:43.560 run defense, including screens, bubbles, and flats. Check they did 0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:45.760 it on grass. For those that were concerned about that. 0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:48.280 Check for those that are superstitious, they did it in 0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:51.160 the Navy jerseys as well. Check put all the Mirk 0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:54.560 McCarthy hot seat. Talked to bed with this victory, especially 0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:58.800 in the fashion in which it happened. Check still unsatisfied 0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:03.840 in the locker room after the game. Check the list 0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:05.920 goes on and on him. But Kyle, Isaiah, I haven't 0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:07.599 seen that many Checks since I walked out of the 0:06:07.640 --> 0:06:11.920 Nike outlet store. The Cowboys were firing on all cylinders. 0:06:12.200 --> 0:06:16.600 First two offensive possessions, slow start. But what happened the 0:06:16.600 --> 0:06:20.320 Cowboys defense Michael Parsons disruptions. They were getting back there. 0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:22.919 They were making tom Brady uncomfortable. They were doing what 0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:26.039 I was hoping they would do, which was fourth, third 0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:28.839 and longs so that you can use your pass rush 0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:33.280 to really, as Isaiah so eloquently said, bless tom Brady 0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:35.640 with some contact. Get your hands on him, getting this 0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:39.920 personal space. Frustrate him, fluster him, and disrupt the routes 0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:42.039 and the timing on the receivers. What was one of 0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:45.920 my main keys? It was, you can't full tom Brady. 0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:49.400 You're not going to beat him in a cerebral compassion, 0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:56.599 uh compartment. I'm tired, I'm excited, Let's go. You're Patrick 0:06:57.560 --> 0:06:59.919 get up there and you had to disrupt his weapons 0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:03.000 and you did that. That brought that bought enough time 0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:05.719 for Dak Prescott and that offense to finally get rolling 0:07:05.760 --> 0:07:08.320 on their third possession going forward. And then you get 0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:13.880 the jay Ron curse. You animal, you okay, jay Ron 0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:17.360 curse with that interception in the end zone when the 0:07:17.400 --> 0:07:19.640 Cowboys were nursing a six and no lead and Tom 0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:22.760 Brady was he was right there at the door. Everybody 0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:25.760 felt it. This is when Tom Brady scores and now, 0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:28.080 oh it's a game and jay Ron curse, pile give 0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:30.160 it back to Dak Prescott. Dak Prescott in the offense 0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:33.240 methodically walks the ball down for a touchdown and then 0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:35.520 the game just started climbing away from there in the 0:07:35.520 --> 0:07:41.960 Cowboys favor fan freaking tastic offense and the offensive coaches. 0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:45.520 Kelly Moore called one hell of a game. Talk about 0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:50.640 those two fourth down plays. You know what why chef 0:07:50.720 --> 0:07:53.280 kisses all around. I could go down the list, and 0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:58.080 the list is long. Kudos to everyone involved. Preparation was 0:07:58.120 --> 0:08:01.520 their execution was there, The moment was not too big, 0:08:01.720 --> 0:08:05.760 and resiliency again showed its face in Temple. It was impressive. 0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:08.480 It really was, and they jumped out. I agree with 0:08:08.520 --> 0:08:11.120 you completely. I think the turning point in that game 0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:14.040 was jay Ron curse. Yes, the interception in the end 0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:17.160 zone because you're up by seven, tom Brady scores there, 0:08:17.680 --> 0:08:19.720 or excuse me, yeah, you're up by six. Tom Brady 0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:22.080 scores there at seven to six, and then all of 0:08:22.160 --> 0:08:24.200 a sudden, you get the ball back. What do you do? 0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:27.480 It depends But instead, like you said, gets it back, 0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:31.360 got the football, drive down, score, you're up two scores boom. 0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:33.960 That thing was. It wasn't done at that point because 0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:36.360 it's never really done whenever number twelve is on the 0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:39.320 other side of the football. But you started to pull away, 0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:41.520 you started to build confidence, you started kept your foot 0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:43.880 on the gas from that point forward. I want to 0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:47.080 add another one to your checkbox. There. Do all the checks, 0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:50.480 all the checks for more from Nike Cowboys. As a 0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:54.280 wild card team in the last twenty five seasons, we're 0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:57.760 O and four last twenty five years as a wildcard 0:08:57.800 --> 0:08:59.920 team that's not playing in the wild card round, that is, 0:09:00.120 --> 0:09:03.520 as the wild card they were owing four. They lost 0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:06.000 in two thousand and six to the Seahawks OH three 0:09:06.040 --> 0:09:08.839 to the Panthers ninety nine to the Vikings and then 0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:11.960 here in twenty twenty two they got the win. Oh yeah, 0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:14.400 and so they were able to take that streak and 0:09:14.480 --> 0:09:17.720 throw it out the window as well. What did we 0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:20.600 talk about last week if Dak Prescott was gonna win 0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:24.480 this game, Isaiah, you needed what you needed, no turnovers, 0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:27.640 and what happened in this game to beat Tampa two 0:09:27.760 --> 0:09:30.280 movies and you also thought you might have needed a 0:09:30.280 --> 0:09:32.720 couple from your defense. You only got one, but it 0:09:32.800 --> 0:09:36.360 was a huge yeah, yeah, huge one. Yeah, you took 0:09:36.360 --> 0:09:38.000 a vantage. Don't know what the heck Tom was doing 0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:39.319 on that one. I think he meant to throw it 0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:40.960 away and he just didn't get enough on it, but 0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:43.280 he did shy away from the throw at the same time, 0:09:43.720 --> 0:09:47.480 either way, either way, Curse was there to go ahead 0:09:47.480 --> 0:09:49.599 and pick them off, and it was huge. Obviously it 0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:52.880 turned things into Dallas's favor and then from there they 0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:54.840 opened the gap. I mean, like to your point, No, see, 0:09:54.840 --> 0:09:56.800 there's a lot of different parts of this game that 0:09:57.080 --> 0:10:00.800 Dallas just owned and it was necessary. It was necessary 0:10:00.840 --> 0:10:02.720 because you're facing I don't care. I there's a lot 0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:04.439 of people in Cowboys Nation right now to all you know, 0:10:04.480 --> 0:10:06.600 we killed him and you did. Absolutely, Dallas took care 0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:09.080 of business. But there's those are still a one hell 0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:10.679 of a team that you just beat. Yeah, that's a 0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:12.240 hell of a team you just beat. And if you 0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:15.400 allow that team any room, they would have they had opportunity, 0:10:15.480 --> 0:10:17.640 just like any other team that's very talented, to do 0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:19.920 some bad things to you. So you took that away 0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:22.199 from them. You took their their power away from them. 0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:24.959 You you you changed up your game plan and the 0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:27.839 executed the game plan and because of that, you're reaping 0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:31.200 the benefits of it, and you absolutely should be elated 0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:34.160 right now. Um to your part, every phase of this 0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:38.360 game was positive except for one. But we're not even 0:10:38.400 --> 0:10:41.240 we're gonna we're gonna disregard that. We may hit it 0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:43.079 in the last, but you know what it may be. 0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:45.560 You know what the elephant in the room is the 0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:47.800 extra points. You know what we'll get. Yeah, we'll get 0:10:47.800 --> 0:10:50.600 to that. But like the reality, you still that's one 0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:52.400 hell of a player too, and he's gonna he might 0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:54.600 win your dog on ball game here and has Okay, 0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:57.719 so I don't fault him at all. He had a 0:10:57.760 --> 0:10:59.400 rough knight. Okay, he had a rough dog all night. 0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:01.600 But everybody else was there to say, hey, don't worry 0:11:01.600 --> 0:11:03.280 about it. We got your back, and that's what that's 0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:07.079 what a team is about. Right. Isaiah said he needed 0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:10.160 to see Dak Prescott ball yep. And I didn't disagree, 0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:11.760 but I kind of scaled it down a little bit 0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:14.320 and said, I need to see a very good game 0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:16.520 from him. And I said that I expected that to happen. 0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:18.880 I expected him to bounce back and ask me. He said, well, 0:11:18.880 --> 0:11:22.680 what would I classify as a really good game? I 0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:26.160 said three hundred yards. I'd accept three and one as 0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:31.600 you said zero and you said maybe one. Dak Prescott 0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:35.320 three hundred and five yards. Bang, four touchdowns in the air, 0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:38.320 none on the ground. So he took that one and 0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:41.439 turned it and added into the touchdown sally, and he 0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:43.720 did what we had been begging for him to do 0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:46.760 all years, use him signing. He used those legs, oh yeah, 0:11:48.760 --> 0:11:51.880 kept the defense off balance, kept people guessing that fourth 0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:55.880 and four RPO keeper to the beautiful. Everybody in the 0:11:55.920 --> 0:11:58.840 building was staring at Zeke and next thing you know, 0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:01.360 there's Dak and the ends celebrating. I'd sayah, you were, 0:12:01.440 --> 0:12:05.200 we were talking in game when that happened In studio 0:12:05.480 --> 0:12:07.959 and you looked at me. You thought that was a 0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:10.880 check with me. That was a DAK decision. What happens 0:12:10.960 --> 0:12:12.800 when that comes to the table. Yes, So I'm not 0:12:12.840 --> 0:12:14.959 sure if it was. So there's two different, two different things. 0:12:15.000 --> 0:12:18.000 There Either was a called keeper in the huddle which 0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:20.880 could have happened, which could have happened, or there was instincts. 0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:23.040 When I was a quarterback a lot of times and 0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:25.319 we were in that same situation, my coach would call 0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:27.800 the run play and then he would literally tell me 0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:29.599 right and say he'll tell me in my ear and 0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:32.320 keep it like, don't tell any of your teammates, like 0:12:32.360 --> 0:12:34.880 call the run play as as it's called. Call it 0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:36.280 in the huddle, Let everybody go up to the line 0:12:36.280 --> 0:12:37.880 of scrimmage, Let your running back to your old line. 0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:40.680 They're coming downhill, and you just keep the ball. Not 0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:43.120 sure if that's what happened, but that does happen in 0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:46.920 certain situations whenever your your officer coordinator wants to ensure 0:12:47.000 --> 0:12:49.760 that they get the actual look and the action and 0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:52.320 the energy of the actual run play and then just 0:12:52.360 --> 0:12:55.400 creep out the back door. And in kudos to both 0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:58.840 on that particular play, everybody did what he needed to do. 0:12:58.960 --> 0:13:01.239 Dak did what he needed to do. He sold it effectively. 0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:03.640 The offensive line sold it with their their lean to 0:13:03.679 --> 0:13:06.600 the right. Zeke sold it with his hand with a 0:13:06.640 --> 0:13:10.839 fake handoff. But it was offensive quarter to killing Moore 0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:14.559 and head coach Mike McCarthy who both had the marbles, 0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:20.600 the marbles fourth and one Port Tampa. And this was 0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:24.000 before Maher's struggles. For the most part. You could have 0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:27.439 kicked that field goal and taking the points and said okay, No. 0:13:27.679 --> 0:13:30.559 Instead they said, this is playoff football. We didn't come 0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:33.280 to play, not to lose. We came to win. We 0:13:33.360 --> 0:13:37.280 came to send a message. Message sent, message received, Yeah, 0:13:37.880 --> 0:13:41.160 signs stamped, sealed. Let's go. So for all of you, 0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:43.439 all twenty two warriors out there, I know there's a 0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:45.760 lot of them listening, let us know if you think 0:13:45.800 --> 0:13:48.920 that was a called run play for Dak Prescott or 0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:51.720 if you think that was just a nice impromptu keeper. 0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:55.120 I think it was an impromptu keeper because Patrick said 0:13:55.160 --> 0:13:57.880 it very well just a second ago. The offensive line 0:13:57.960 --> 0:14:01.120 sold it, the running backs sold everybody sold it to 0:14:01.160 --> 0:14:04.199 the effectiveness that allowed Dak Prescott to just roll out 0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:06.440 and he was all alone. You know why, I think 0:14:06.440 --> 0:14:07.719 they sold it. I think they all thought it was 0:14:07.720 --> 0:14:09.920 a run play. I think they all thought it was 0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:11.839 a run play, and Dak just kept it and rolled out. 0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:14.679 I think it was a called play. Personally, I think 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:16.360 it was a call play. You think they called it 0:14:16.440 --> 0:14:18.360 knowing that they called it. You know, you know why 0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:22.120 my eyes go straight to Zeke because whenever, whenever it's 0:14:22.120 --> 0:14:25.080 a called run play and the quarterback just decided to 0:14:25.160 --> 0:14:27.560 keep it rather his coach told him to or not. Okay, 0:14:28.440 --> 0:14:30.600 I believe you remember that that They still can talk 0:14:30.640 --> 0:14:33.120 to Dak up to was it fifteen seconds, fourteen sex, 0:14:33.240 --> 0:14:34.840 whatever it is, okay, So they can still talk to him. 0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:36.320 He can call a run play, they can tell him 0:14:36.360 --> 0:14:38.520 in his ear keep it right. They can tell him 0:14:38.560 --> 0:14:40.160 that all day long. But when you look at Zeke, 0:14:40.600 --> 0:14:43.120 Zeke looked like that was a part of the game play. 0:14:43.160 --> 0:14:45.040 Because a lot of times whenever that's called, the running 0:14:45.040 --> 0:14:47.560 backs reaching like hey man, like hey, what you're doing? 0:14:47.720 --> 0:14:49.480 Give it a ball? You can see them like really 0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:51.520 reaching for the play. I don't know if Zeke would 0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:54.760 really react that way though. I think Zeke, if anybody 0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:56.600 when you think you down, you know what I'm saying 0:14:56.600 --> 0:14:58.160 When you think you're supposed to get the ball, there's 0:14:58.160 --> 0:15:01.280 like a yeah, there's no ball on your arms, you 0:15:01.280 --> 0:15:04.640 start reaching. But I mean, either either way, it worked 0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:08.080 to the Dallas Cowboys advantage. I was on I'm on 0:15:08.160 --> 0:15:09.840 record saying that I didn't think that they were gonna 0:15:09.840 --> 0:15:12.840 be able to get this w okay based upon the 0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:15.040 schemes and what they had been showing up to date. 0:15:15.280 --> 0:15:17.840 They made changes. If they would have sat back in 0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:20.640 coverage like they had been doing up to this point 0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:22.880 in the season, I don't think we were sitting here 0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:25.280 talking about the same type of result. But they came 0:15:25.360 --> 0:15:28.080 up there and that changed the dynamic of this whole scheme, 0:15:28.080 --> 0:15:30.960 at least defensively. And you're saying the defense isn't simple. Oh, 0:15:32.480 --> 0:15:37.080 I see the shape the conversation as the fishing hole. 0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:41.000 I want to hit that a little bit harder when 0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:42.600 we come back on the other side of the break. 0:15:42.640 --> 0:15:45.560 Because there were so many elements to this game where 0:15:45.560 --> 0:15:48.440 the Cowboys made adjustments. Yes, the Cowboys got better from 0:15:48.520 --> 0:15:51.160 Week eighteen into the wild Card round, But which one 0:15:51.240 --> 0:15:54.720 surprised you the most? Which element of the win was 0:15:54.760 --> 0:15:58.600 the most surprising from the Cowboys seeing based off of 0:15:59.080 --> 0:16:03.840 the the examples that we had and the sample size 0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:05.200 we had. That was a word I was looking for 0:16:05.440 --> 0:16:07.120 earlier in the season. We'll talk about it when we 0:16:07.160 --> 0:16:10.760 come back on the other side of the break.

Isaiah, we had pregame 0:18:45.200 --> 0:18:47.879 live out there on the Tostito's Championship Plaza last night. 0:18:48.160 --> 0:18:51.800 Was popping so like a popping bag of tostito lose 0:18:51.840 --> 0:18:53.800 out there getting in. I had a good time. I 0:18:53.880 --> 0:18:56.000 had the family out there. Yeah, kiddos is out there. 0:18:56.040 --> 0:18:58.119 It was out there having a ball. It was a 0:18:58.160 --> 0:18:59.720 good time. Man. All the fans that came out with 0:18:59.800 --> 0:19:02.359 your appreciate y'all. You know, we weren't the official No 0:19:02.480 --> 0:19:04.560 Watch party. Okay, weren't the ficial watch party, but we 0:19:04.640 --> 0:19:06.520 still had a good amount of people that were out 0:19:06.560 --> 0:19:09.399 there hanging out with us. Did you see the amount 0:19:09.440 --> 0:19:11.920 of people at the official watch party. I think the 0:19:12.119 --> 0:19:18.399 number was eight. It was a lot. Cowboys nations showed up, 0:19:18.640 --> 0:19:21.440 showed out. Also for those that showed up and showed 0:19:21.480 --> 0:19:23.800 out at Raymond James Stadium, there was a lot of 0:19:23.960 --> 0:19:28.000 blue in those stands and they were live. I said 0:19:28.040 --> 0:19:30.720 it to open our show yesterday. I said, on nights 0:19:30.880 --> 0:19:35.760 like tonight, nights like last night, you cannot hide from 0:19:35.840 --> 0:19:39.000 Cowboys Nation. You cannot do it. Whether you're in Tampa, 0:19:39.520 --> 0:19:43.920 you're in Frisco, you're in Arlington, you cannot hide. Cowboys 0:19:44.040 --> 0:19:46.679 Nation is everywhere. And they showed it again last night. 0:19:46.760 --> 0:19:48.400 Special thanks to all those they came out and spent 0:19:48.480 --> 0:19:51.400 some time with us up at the those Tito's Championship Plaza. 0:19:51.800 --> 0:19:53.720 I don't know where the watch party will be this week. 0:19:53.720 --> 0:19:56.280 I would anticipate it it being back at at and 0:19:56.320 --> 0:19:58.280 T Stadium. But I'll tell you one thing, I bet 0:19:58.359 --> 0:20:00.639 you either way. We're right back out there for pregame 0:20:00.720 --> 0:20:02.959 live on SAH right now. I bet you either way. 0:20:04.560 --> 0:20:07.000 So if you if you're in the area, keep that 0:20:07.280 --> 0:20:09.879 in mind, all right. I tease this question on the 0:20:09.960 --> 0:20:12.360 other side of the break, I want to hear from 0:20:12.440 --> 0:20:16.399 you guys, what was the most surprising part of the 0:20:16.480 --> 0:20:19.920 win element of the win based off of all of 0:20:20.000 --> 0:20:22.160 the lead in last week, what we had said going 0:20:22.240 --> 0:20:25.159 into the Monday night football matchup, which one surprised you 0:20:25.240 --> 0:20:28.800 the most defensive line pressure. Really for me, defensive line 0:20:28.800 --> 0:20:32.000 pressure I didn't believe based upon what we knew. Okay, 0:20:32.440 --> 0:20:35.280 Tampa Bay gets the ball out faster than anybody in 0:20:35.359 --> 0:20:38.080 the league. Okay, less than just just over two percent 0:20:38.119 --> 0:20:41.880 of our passes were actually sacks, right, actual sacks. Based 0:20:41.960 --> 0:20:44.720 upon their offense that they run, Okay, the routes at 0:20:44.800 --> 0:20:47.120 five and eight yards. We talked about it in pregame live, 0:20:47.200 --> 0:20:49.320 we talked about it in film room, we talked about 0:20:49.359 --> 0:20:52.800 it a whole week. Right. Their offense was set up screens, 0:20:52.960 --> 0:20:55.159 short passes to get the ball out quick and be 0:20:55.240 --> 0:20:59.320
