Speaker 1: the Star, and we're so excited to talk Cowboys football today.

11
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: Cowboys get a huge win, probably the most dominating performance

12
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 1: they've had. Nick, I think your article said in the

13
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,840
Speaker 1: last four years? Is that right? At least at least

14
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 1: four years? But the Cowboys win forty seven at home

15
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: against the Jacksonville Jaguars made that Jaguars Jaguars defense look

16
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: pretty pedestrian. We'll get into that and talk about what

17
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: the Cowboys did well, not only on offense but also

18
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: on their defense. It was just a dominating performance all

19
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: the way around. Welcome to show. Thank you guys for

20
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: joining us. Let's jump right in Let's first start off.

21
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,839
Speaker 1: There were so many different things that happened in that game,

22
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: so many different moments in that game. So we'll go

23
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: around the table on when everybody tell me what moment

24
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: sticks out to them, what they came away from that

25
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: game with as a big picture view. Let's start with you, Dave,

26
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: what did Okay? I'm glad. Okay, I'm glad the way

27
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: you phrase that, because my main impression from this is

28
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: all right, Well, we'll get into the offense. That's great.

29
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: Good for them, they played a really good game. I

30
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: can't trust that it's for real until I see it

31
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: on a more regular basis. What I come away from

32
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 1: is once again, this defense, because that is six times

33
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: that they have been very good borderline elite they held

34
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: and Jacksonville's offense is anything to get excited about. I

35
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: understand that, but seven points they're allowing seventeen point two

36
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: per game. They are just now over a d They

37
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: got David Irving back. He looks like he's going to

38
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: contribute to the pass rush. Shaun Lee is presently as

39
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 1: we sit here, he's outside working out despite the fact

40
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 1: that it's raining. Totally greatness of that scene, though it's

41
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 1: rain came steady out there. It's it's forty degree. We

42
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: were shooting a film right now, that would be a

43
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 1: pretty epic, like, yes, great shot, but there's no need.

44
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: Do you got an indoor field where it's warm and

45
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 1: good for you to practice in? There no need to

46
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 1: get wet. It's forty degrees and storming here in Dallas,

47
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: by the way, it feels like thirty two because of

48
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: the wind. Like, it's pretty cool, it's raining. It's switched.

49
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 1: Shawn Lee is out on the outdoor practice field working

50
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: out his hamstring trying to get right, probably because he

51
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: thinks he's got a good shot to play against the Redskins.

52
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: So my point being, defense is only going to get better,

53
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 1: and it's dominant already anyway, and they proved it again.

54
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: So yeah, that really is what I come away from

55
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: because I need to see more from the offense. The

56
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: defense just keeps doing its thing. Amber you know, this

57
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: isn't even the highlight of what the game was, but

58
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 1: I was pretty happy to see Jordan Lewis on the

59
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,919
Speaker 1: field and making some place and reminding us what he's

60
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: capable of. And he felt nice to be like, Okay,

61
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 1: well I didn't just imagine that he could actually play.

62
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: He actually made it, came out there and made a

63
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: name of himself. Also, David Irving coming back again. It's

64
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,839
Speaker 1: very clear and evident why this team is putting up

65
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 1: with what they've been putting up with. David Irving. He's

66
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: an absolute beast and he showed it the moment he

67
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: stepped on the field, pressured the quarterback, didn't get a sack,

68
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: but man, he is a beast. So that's exciting to see. Man.

69
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: We'll get into the offense in a little bit. Yeck, well,

70
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: I mean it is the offense. I mean, no offense

71
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: to you guys, But you guys aren't really surprised that

72
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: the defense played well, you have to be surprised with

73
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: forty points on the offense. I think that was the key. There.

74
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: Doesn't matter what they're gonna do next week or whatever.

75
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: The point is is that they went out played what

76
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: was the number one defense league, which I don't know

77
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: if they still are now. Yeah. He asked what I

78
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: thought it meant in the big picture, which, yeah, absolutely,

79
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: the offense was the story of the game, for sure,

80
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: But I think it is the big picture because I

81
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: think it shows you what they're capable of doing and

82
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: that this offensive line is really where it started. It

83
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: could get back to that type of football where they

84
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 1: can kind of dictate things. Now. Jacksonville's defense is still

85
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: pretty good because they had some issues in the red

86
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,919
Speaker 1: zone and all that stuff. But I thought they're finally

87
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 1: showing that, you know, you don't have to have a

88
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,679
Speaker 1: pocket passer. You can play the game the way Cam

89
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,359
Speaker 1: Newton plays it. This is the type of game that

90
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: Dat needs to play. He needs to play this type

91
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 1: of game right here where he doesn't matter he throws it,

92
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: he gets two hundred and sixty yards. That's a good

93
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 1: offense right there. It doesn't matter how you're doing. It's

94
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 1: about two hundred and sixty yards and three touchdowns. That's

95
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: a good day. Yep. All right, So let's jump in.

96
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: Let's talk some more specifics. Cowboys offense, which you started

97
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: talking about, Nick. They scored on their first four possessions.

98
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: They got out to a quick start, three touchdowns, one

99
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: field goal. They had three hundred and seventy eight yards

100
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 1: of total offense, forty points. They were seven or seventeen

101
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: that's forty one percent on third downs, which is a

102
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 1: really good number for them. Twenty three first downs in

103
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 1: this game, four or five red zone efficiencies. That five

104
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: of the times they were in side of twenty four

105
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: those times they got touchdowns and time possession was completely

106
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 1: on their side. Thirty eight minutes and fifty five seconds.

107
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 1: Talking to me about the differences, what were the differences

108
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: and what they did yesterday offensively from what they had done.

109
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: I guess, really, if you look at the entirety of

110
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: the season, what was so different yesterday allowed them to

111
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: score so so quickly and to score consistently throughout the game. Well,

112
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 1: I mean there's there's a lot of things you can

113
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 1: you can start with. First of all, penalties. I mean,

114
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: there's three penalties in the game overall, and that's how

115
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 1: many usually are on offense. They were able to They

116
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,720
Speaker 1: weren't really behind the chains that much. They did a

117
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: nice job and Beasley got open a lot. You know,

118
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: they they found the mismatches there with Beasley. You know,

119
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 1: as good as Jacksonville, they have weak spots. And those

120
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: weak spots used to play for Dallas. And if you

121
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: watch Tyler Patman was bad and Dad called him out

122
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 1: and Barry Church was borderline horrible yesterday. How many times

123
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: did you see Barry Church whiffing on stuff. So you

124
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 1: obways see the hand clappy they found the mismatches there.

125
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,679
Speaker 1: I mean stay away from Ramsey, which that was pretty

126
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 1: awesome after the game, by the way, because that guy

127
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: hadn't shut up in two years and he didn't he

128
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:30,479
Speaker 1: had nothing like what can you say? When you what

129
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 1: are you going to say? I thought it was hilarious

130
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: because before we got into the game last week, Yeah,

131
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: you you made a comment about Ramsey. How oh you

132
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: know he talks to talk, but then he he still

133
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 1: will talk if he plays bad and stuff and we'll

134
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 1: stand up. I was very great. I love guys that

135
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: don't shut up. I love trash talk. I admired even

136
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: more when you back it up after it doesn't go

137
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,359
Speaker 1: your way and yeah, that's a that's a bad look.

138
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: Well that was the theme of the whole day. A

139
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: guy that actually had gotten his ass kicked in the

140
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: last in the last month, but comes to town and

141
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: it's like, oh my god, God showed up, you know,

142
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: and Connor McGregor, Oh yeah, I was like, drop the presses,

143
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: like Connor McGregor's here, you know, and and and he

144
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: created this Oh my god, that was unbelievable. Seeing Jeff,

145
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: I'm like, I might really seeing this Jeff doing that walk.

146
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought that up, because that's guy. The

147
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: thing that the thing that I thought made the biggest

148
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: difference switch. This is easier said than done. They obviously

149
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: they attacked like right off the bat. And more important

150
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: than that, I thought they kept the Jags on their

151
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: heels like they were. They were not predictable. Shocker. Uh.

152
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: They what they ran the ball once on their opening possession. Uh.

153
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: And no, I'm sorry they ran the ball twice and Zeke,

154
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: but Zeke only got one carry. The other thing miss direction.

155
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: You have a quarterback who can run, and it confuses

156
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: defenses when you use him that way sometimes. Okay, let

157
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 1: me throw this this at you though. And I started

158
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: thinking about this last night because I was trying to

159
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: figure out what the differences were, and I talked to

160
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: Brian a little bit about this morning. Some of it

161
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: he kind of saw as well. But when you think

162
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: about it, from the way Jacksonville plays, this is a

163
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 1: really good defense and I don't think anything that happened

164
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,119
Speaker 1: yesterday changes the fact that they're a really good defense.

165
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: It has a lot of talent, But I think that

166
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,679
Speaker 1: the way that they played defense and the fact that

167
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: they're probably so arrogant about how they played defense could

168
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: have contributed to why the Cowboys had so much success,

169
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: particularly in the first half, because really, if you go

170
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: back and watch that game, by the second half, Cowboys

171
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 1: offense wasn't moving the ball at will like they were

172
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 1: in the first half. And there were two significant things.

173
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: Number One, I think that the fact that they thought

174
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: that Tyler Patman could handle in man coverage, could handle

175
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley, and they were arrogant about the fact that

176
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 1: they stick with man coverage most of the time and

177
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: they were okay with the idea of him covering him.

178
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: That was a problem, and they acknowledged that by the

179
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: second half when Aja Booyer started and Booya started, Karen

180
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: started covering him in the second half. The other thing

181
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: is the fact if they don't blitz, they only bring

182
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: four guys pretty much the entire game. When you start

183
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: talking misdirection and stuff like that. I think that's factors

184
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 1: in just as much because we didn't see a lot

185
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: of situations yesterday where if you're singing, sitting an extra

186
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: guy a lot of times when that quarterback tries to

187
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: boot out, there's a guy usually in his face because

188
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 1: they've got more guys coming than just four. I think

189
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: both of those two things factored into why the Cowboys

190
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 1: were so successful in the first half and maybe not

191
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 1: as much in the second half when they started to

192
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 1: adjust a little bit. What you guess think, I absolutely

193
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,959
Speaker 1: think much like the Cowboys have done in the past,

194
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: I think the Jags came in and said, are eleven.

195
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: Are way better than you're eleven, and we can play

196
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 1: the way we want to play. We talked about a

197
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 1: little bit of it. To your point, I don't understand

198
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 1: how you can look at this, and I'm happy they

199
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: played it this way, but I don't understand how you

200
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: can look at this Dallas receiving corps and not have

201
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: it be part of your game plan that either Ramsey

202
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: or Buoye is gonna follow Beasley wherever he goes, Like wet,

203
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: we can't have him down in the slot with Beasley

204
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 1: because we need him out here. Hearns who's got eighty

205
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: four yards all year? Like really, that's the hill you

206
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: want to die on? H thank thank thank you, Jaguars,

207
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 1: Like I appreciate that, um, but they couldn't do it.

208
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: And even more so than that, I think they they

209
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 1: loaded up and said, you know, we got Telvin Smith

210
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: and Miles Jack and we're gonna stop you from running

211
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: it up the gut. And the Cowboys were like, okay,

212
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: thank you very much. I'm gonna pull this and run

213
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,719
Speaker 1: it right around the left side for seventeen yards. And yeah,

214
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 1: it looked like it took him some time to adjust

215
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 1: to it, which it's kind of surprising. And Miles Jack

216
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: to me, I mean as good as they are like

217
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,079
Speaker 1: in pass coverage, I mean, those guys are like big safeties,

218
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: you know. In fact, my Miles Jack was a guy

219
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: that they thought maybe was going to be a safety.

220
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 1: So when you could run at them, they are very fast,

221
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: but they're not guys that I mean. I saw Rico

222
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 1: Gathers and Telvin Smith going at it all all game

223
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 1: like blocking was I thought Rico did a nice job

224
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,559
Speaker 1: on him, so yeah, I mean he's again it had

225
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 1: another nice nice catch and um, you know it was

226
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: it was just it was a dominated effort. And I

227
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 1: think it starts with that offensive line. I really do

228
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 1: think the Cowboys offensive line had had a really nice

229
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 1: game and Zeke, you know ran the ball hard. I mean,

230
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: it was just they just were one step ahead of

231
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: them all over the place. You mean, when you want,

232
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 1: when you want a team to do a complete game,

233
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: you want them to run the ball well, receivers, get

234
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: open quarterback, make plays on defense, fly to the ball,

235
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 1: make turnovers, you know, get pressure, cover your guys, don't

236
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: have penalties on special teams. And it was just probably

237
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,839
Speaker 1: just the most perfect game you could actually play. Yea.

238
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,559
Speaker 1: And credit to the play calling too, you know, the coaches.

239
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: I think they did a really nice job, specially because

240
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: we've seen far too often where certain plays that work,

241
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: they'll just stop doing it, And this time, I mean

242
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: they were able to keep it going and keep sending

243
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 1: out making those right calls to that would work, especially

244
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:57,679
Speaker 1: with Dad, you know, running the ball, finding Cole Beasley.

245
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 1: That's what I've been saying all year long. Why can't

246
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: you just find coal? Which is hard to do when

247
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,319
Speaker 1: he's being covered and stuff. But a lot of times

248
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: we've seeing how he is open and they haven't been

249
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: able to utilize him well enough. And this time obviously

250
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:14,079
Speaker 1: worth and I think the energy was outstanding the fact

251
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: that you could tell they were having fun on the field.

252
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 1: That helps a lot. When you're averaging twelve yards per play.

253
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,559
Speaker 1: Football's a lot of fun. That's what Beasley said it

254
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: like five times last night. He was like, this game

255
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: is a lot more fun when you win, and you know,

256
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,559
Speaker 1: when you're part of the everything's clicking. I mean, that's

257
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: the thing. It's it's rare in an NFL season when

258
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 1: everything is clicking like like it was yesterday. That's fun

259
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 1: when everything's clicking for your team. But most teams experienced

260
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 1: it that. At the best, there are two or three

261
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: games in a season where everything's clicking like that. It

262
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: just it just makes me wonder. And all credit to

263
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, like they played great. They I mean they

264
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 1: were basically flawless. But even okay, you saw a matchup

265
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: you liked, and clearly they did, like they knew Beasley

266
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 1: was going to eat on Patman because that said, Beasley

267
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: knew from two day that he was going to have

268
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: a chance to do this. Even still, even if you

269
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,319
Speaker 1: like that matchup, like, is that all it is? That

270
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 1: you can do this against the best past defense in

271
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 1: the NFL. But you know, the Houston Texans, who are

272
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 1: are awful by any objective standard. I mean, twenty seventh

273
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,079
Speaker 1: in the league. Even if they're making a concerted effort,

274
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: you still can't find ways to make it happen. I mean,

275
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 1: is it really that easy. It's just like, well, the

276
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,559
Speaker 1: matchup was more favorable, right. I do think in today's NFL,

277
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 1: I think teams are a lot closer than everybody gives

278
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: them credit for, which means that those slight differences is

279
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 1: where you can sometimes find. And that's why I talked

280
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 1: earlier about the arrogance of which, yeah, they do it,

281
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 1: and the Cowboys the same way Gol was getting too,

282
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: that mole of our eleven is better than you're eleven,

283
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: and that arrogance can sometimes lead them to not take

284
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 1: advantage of other opportunities or try to extend themselves beyond

285
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 1: just what they think they do best. And I think

286
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: that was clearly, in my opinion, that was clearly the

287
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 1: Gate yesterday. It's it's and I really I'm not trying

288
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: to take any credit away from Cole Beasley or Dak Prescott.

289
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 1: They were both great, and I was happy for Cole

290
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 1: that he kind of got the chance to shut some

291
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: people up. But it's I mean, it's crazy to me that,

292
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: like the Houston Texans can take away Cole Beasley just completely,

293
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 1: and then like the Jags, the Mighty Jags, it's just

294
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: like they didn't have an answer. Look at his numbers

295
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 1: first half and second yeah, and it tells you all

296
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: you need to know. Like in the first half, he

297
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 1: was having his way on that field. By the second half,

298
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 1: it all kind of screeched to a halt, like the

299
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 1: offense just wasn't moving a lot, and the turnovers made

300
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 1: a big difference, which when you get in that kind

301
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 1: of game, the defense can create some of those turnovers

302
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 1: for you. If that, and there's a lot more that

303
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: goes into it. They ran the ball well, and I mean,

304
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 1: da Dak until he proves that he is a more

305
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 1: consistently good pocket passer, he needs to be carrying the

306
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 1: ball like that every week. I think man eleven carries

307
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: is a lot, but at least six, if not eight,

308
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: You know that needs to be an element in this offense.

309
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: I think, if you're gonna be balanced and successful. But

310
00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 1: we see how much better this thing looks when Cole

311
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 1: easily is part of it, and you just, I mean,

312
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 1: you gotta do more to get him involved, even if

313
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 1: it's not always going to be that easy. Clearly, it

314
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: just makes so much difference. Let's take our first break.

315
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: When we come back, I do want to talk about

316
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville I'm sorry. I want to talk about the

317
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 1: offensive line for the Cowboys, how they performed yesterday, and

318
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 1: then we'll get into the Cowboys defense. Was that when

319
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 1: we come right back. This is Dallas Cowboys dot Com Radio.

352
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 1: find out what he's made of. That's why the Cowboys

353
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: rely on more than stabbed some scouting reports when building

354
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: their team. When picking a tractor, it's why you should

355
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:04,920
Speaker 1: rely on more than specs and features as well. You

356
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:06,920
Speaker 1: gotta take it out and put it to the test

357
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,640
Speaker 1: the Cowboys did when they named John Deer their official tractor.

361
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 1: the second second of the Break live for the SWBC

362
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 1: Mortgage studios. At the start, we're talking about the Cowboys

363
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 1: big win yesterday, forty to seven. They blasted Jacksonville Jaguars.

364
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 1: It was their first win like that in a very,

365
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 1: very long time. We're breaking it down for you guys.

366
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 1: Let's talk now about this offensive line. I made the

367
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 1: point last week that I believe that the offensive line

368
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 1: was part of a big part of the reason why

369
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 1: this team had not been as successful early in the year. Yesterday,

370
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 1: I think they did a lot to kind of go

371
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:54,160
Speaker 1: the opposite way. They were pretty good most of the game.

372
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 1: I still think they had some areas where it wasn't

373
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: quite the same. I'm still a little bit concerned about

374
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 1: Tyren Smith we're all just he's not as dominant as

375
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 1: he once was in my opinion. But all that being said,

376
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 1: I think they did far more than necessary yesterday to

377
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 1: get a win. They were, they were pretty dominant. What

378
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,919
Speaker 1: do you guys think? I thought Tyrn Smith had a

379
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 1: good game. Um, you know, I'm the other guy over there.

380
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 1: I don't know ninety one. He's a good player. I mean,

381
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 1: I don't even know how to pronounce his name. Jannick

382
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:26,120
Speaker 1: and Gagway. He's a pro bowler and he plays like one.

383
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 1: And I mean it was it was a tough battle there.

384
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: But but I mean for the most part, I mean

385
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 1: that that offensive, that defense up front for Jacksonville. You're

386
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 1: not gonna face a front better than that. So for

387
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:40,399
Speaker 1: Connor Klai Campbell was pretty quiet. Most yeah, I mean

388
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: the league. I mean, I I we're doing a top

389
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,400
Speaker 1: ten list of of performers that played in the game.

390
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 1: What would do every Monday. I don't know what Brian

391
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 1: and Rob will vote, but I know that that Dave

392
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 1: and I put um Lyle Collins on there. I thought

393
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:57,880
Speaker 1: Lyle had a really really nice game, and Connor Williams obviously,

394
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:01,120
Speaker 1: I mean they did a good job. You seen holding penalties.

395
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 1: Really was there a holding? Lyle had a block in

396
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,719
Speaker 1: the back which on Fairy Church, which was not necessary.

397
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 1: The play was pretty much done anyway. But but just

398
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 1: I thought the offensive line that was as good as

399
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: game as they've played. And I think I don't know

400
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 1: if they'll face a defensive front seven that's better than that.

401
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 1: I don't know that one next week we'll get into that.

402
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: I mean the one coming up against the Redskins. That's

403
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: a pretty good defensive front that quietly has become a

404
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,679
Speaker 1: pretty good I haven't time since the Breeze put up

405
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 1: fifty on them, So I don't I don't know. Maybe

406
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:37,400
Speaker 1: they're good. I know that, yes, can't put up that

407
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 1: that kind of firepower. But I'm just saying I watched

408
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,400
Speaker 1: them play against New Orleans and yes, we'll see, Yeah

409
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 1: they got some players. Well, I'll just say they got

410
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: some players. They will break it. Alabama. I don't think

411
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: Washington's as talented as Jacksonville. No, No, but I don't

412
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,120
Speaker 1: have that pretty good the Texans. I think they're pretty good.

413
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 1: I think they're pretty good. We'll see, Yeah, we'll see. Um.

414
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 1: I it's it's felt like Tyron Smith is not bad.

415
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 1: He's a good player, and he's been way more good

416
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 1: than bad throughout the season, but maybe he's just not

417
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:14,160
Speaker 1: the world erasing you just can't beat him left. I mean,

418
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 1: I really think like from fourteen to sixteen, I don't

419
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 1: think there was a better left tackle. I include like

420
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 1: Joe Thomas and that um he was amazing, Like it

421
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 1: was staggering to watch how easily he just kicked people

422
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 1: around the field. And no matter how great the opponent

423
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,239
Speaker 1: he was going up against, they still didn't get around him.

424
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 1: That's the part. And I again, I hope nobody took

425
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: day no and that that was one play where and

426
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 1: it didn't end actually ended up in a positive play

427
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys. Cowboys completed a pass off of it.

428
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 1: But Ba would whatever his name is and got twenty

429
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: two career sacks. Guys, I know, I just gotta don't

430
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,360
Speaker 1: have no his name. But anyway, he just went like

431
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 1: right around Tyron on one play and it was it

432
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: was it was just like wow, I can't believe he

433
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 1: beat Tyron like that. But again, this is not saying

434
00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: that Tyron is a bad player. It's saying I'm not

435
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,400
Speaker 1: used to get beat at all. This is a guy

436
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 1: that's that great. That is exactly the point I was

437
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 1: trying to make. And I mean we saw Frank Clark.

438
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: Frank Clark had plenty of success against him. Granted that's

439
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 1: on the road. Uh. And obviously you know Watt and

440
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: Clowney are a handful for anybody. But that's that's the point.

441
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 1: Is like, I'm just I'm used to being like, oh, yeah,

442
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,160
Speaker 1: Tyron's just gonna do this for three hours and it's

443
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 1: gonna be laughable. And and he might not be that

444
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 1: guy anymore. That doesn't mean he's not a great left tackle,

445
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,640
Speaker 1: but it is. It's weird trying to kind of adjust

446
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:31,159
Speaker 1: your expectations verse like this is the best Like me

447
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 1: and Nick argued as recently his last year, I was like,

448
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: Tyron's the best player on this roster, no doubt about

449
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 1: it at the end of discussion. For me and I

450
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 1: certainly I don't feel that way through five six games

451
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: this year. Uh. That's not to say he's not a

452
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:45,919
Speaker 1: good player. It's just something that I'm adjusting to and

453
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,679
Speaker 1: keeping an eye on this year, right. Um. And that's

454
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: kind of how I feel about the entire offensive line,

455
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,400
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, Like they're obviously capable of dominance.

456
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 1: I mean, run for two hundred yards against this defense

457
00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: and and eat, you know, just chunk yardage, and and

458
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 1: Dak got sacked three times, but that doesn't tell the story.

459
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: But so that's still really good, but just again maybe

460
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 1: not on that world beating level that we got used

461
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 1: to seeing for a few years. I think the big

462
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 1: picture take out of this is just kind of what

463
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 1: we had said earlier, is that you know, you you

464
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: you have it out there now of what this team

465
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 1: can do um and you know that every game is

466
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,399
Speaker 1: going to be different with different challenges. But you know,

467
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 1: if you try to make two runners out back there

468
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 1: with Dak and Zeke and kind of if you're gonna

469
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 1: if they're gonna blitz like that, you got a big,

470
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 1: strong quarterback that can get away from it and run.

471
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 1: And you know these some of these eighty two yards,

472
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 1: some of it was designed, some of it was just

473
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 1: Dak being a good athlete. So I just think that

474
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:47,640
Speaker 1: you know, they they are gonna have different challenges every week,

475
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,119
Speaker 1: but this this shows you right here that they can

476
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 1: put up some big time points, especially at home. We'll

477
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 1: see what happens on the road, but you know, I'm

478
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 1: not really I'm not one to say that this is

479
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,160
Speaker 1: even an issue yet people A lot of people are,

480
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,640
Speaker 1: But I don't really think it is versus not yet

481
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: road me too. It's the same way. I mean, it's

482
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 1: something to be it's something to be aware of. I

483
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 1: don't know if I necessarily think it's yet that. I

484
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:15,360
Speaker 1: think only because if Dad doesn't get that fumble against Detroit,

485
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 1: they probably lose to the Lions at home. They need

486
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 1: seven more yards for Maha to get a field goal

487
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 1: on the road. Very one play here and there, and

488
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:25,160
Speaker 1: then we could have had a different thing. But it's

489
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 1: not getting lasted on the road, and they're winning big

490
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 1: at home. I just think it's kind of how things

491
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 1: are falling a little bit that don't go they don't

492
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:33,879
Speaker 1: go on the road for a while, because I mean,

493
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,159
Speaker 1: it's account they winn this game in the home. This

494
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 1: is a home crowd for them. I love Nick. Nick

495
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 1: just like, yeah, no, that's the way it's gonna be.

496
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 1: Because I said so, Well, i mean remember that game

497
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 1: that you went to that they lost in Washington. Remember that? Nope,

498
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 1: remember that game too? Honestly different. Well, we'll we'll get

499
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:52,439
Speaker 1: into that later. In the week, just plenty to discuss

500
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:55,160
Speaker 1: ild I'm I was going to pick them to beat

501
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,880
Speaker 1: the Redskins even if they lost to Jacksonville fifty to nothing,

502
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 1: like they beat the Redskins. But that's what I think.

503
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:02,879
Speaker 1: I can't just act like I know that's going to happen.

504
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:07,880
Speaker 1: Good will change. They really no, Like I'm comfortable like

505
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 1: I'm picking the Cowboys to beat the Redskins today Wednesday, Friday.

506
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 1: I don't care. I don't do the past experience just it.

507
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 1: I mean, they yeah, basically, and I think that matters

508
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:20,400
Speaker 1: indivisional rivalries. It doesn't matter when you're like, oh, last

509
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 1: time they played the Texans five years ago, when the

510
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 1: two teams like that is ridiculous. But these teams know

511
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,719
Speaker 1: each other really well. The main reason to do it,

512
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 1: it might seguay into what you're about to say, is

513
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 1: defense is nasty defense, which really good. And that's the

514
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 1: point that I That's why I made that point at

515
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:38,360
Speaker 1: the top of the show, is like I don't know

516
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,719
Speaker 1: how this is going to translate to FedEx Field, Like

517
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 1: I had offense next to no confidence that they can

518
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 1: do that again. I need to see it again, I

519
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 1: even again. I mean even when they beat Detroit at home,

520
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 1: they scored two touchdowns like they had you know, they

521
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 1: were kicking field goals left and right. I gotta see more.

522
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 1: But the defense has basically kicked ass. They were pretty

523
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 1: sloppy in the first half again Carolina first half of

524
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:05,679
Speaker 1: the season opener, and after that, it's been really impressive

525
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 1: every single I mean, I mean, I know that this

526
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,640
Speaker 1: team doesn't always make good decisions all the time. I mean,

527
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 1: no one does. But you talk about a couple decisions

528
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 1: that have been questioned a lot around here. April drafting

529
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 1: Laton vander esh in first round. Okay, so far he

530
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: looks like a really damn good player, cutting Dan Bailey,

531
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 1: and getting Brett Maher. I mean, there were people in

532
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 1: this room that didn't know if that was such a

533
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 1: good idea. Yeah, but hold on, and I want to

534
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:35,440
Speaker 1: speak for you guys a little bit. Please don't honestly

535
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 1: don't think that you guys were against the move. I

536
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 1: think you guys were against how it went down. Yeah,

537
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 1: So I don't think anybody I don't think there were

538
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 1: a lot of people that said, oh my god, you

539
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,879
Speaker 1: cannot do this, because there's no way Brett Maher is

540
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 1: going to be better than Dan Bailey. I just think

541
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 1: people were upset that it went down the way that

542
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 1: it did. You were upset, particularly that it was no

543
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:59,120
Speaker 1: competition in your opinion. Yeah, but either way, either way

544
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 1: we had They thought that Bailey was going to struggle,

545
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 1: and they didn't want three million dollars on the hook

546
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 1: if he did, and so they thought this guy also could.

547
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:11,159
Speaker 1: It was a machine like and even so far as

548
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 1: been a rest in the league. Right now, will you

549
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,879
Speaker 1: were telling me? For he's got the best percentage among

550
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 1: kickers who have attempted as many field goals two miss

551
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 1: one first kick. You know, it sounds like Dan Bailey,

552
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:28,359
Speaker 1: doesn't it. Kansas City, Kansas City's Guy Butcker and Graham

553
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 1: Gano and Carolina and Matt Bryant and Atlanta are all

554
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 1: still perfect, but they haven't they haven't kicked as nearly

555
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,400
Speaker 1: as many field goals. And he's also three or three

556
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 1: from fifty plus, which that that puts him in very

557
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:43,959
Speaker 1: nice company. Um. I agree. I appreciate you saying that,

558
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 1: Like I never had a problem with him being the kicker.

559
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 1: I had a problem with the way they did it.

560
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,400
Speaker 1: Even still, if I'd known how he'd looked through six weeks,

561
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have been I would be like, whatever, sorry, Daniel,

562
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 1: when you got you gotta go, I mean, and and

563
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 1: looking at what Dan has done too, I think it

564
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 1: kind of just reaffirmed the fact that what they believed,

565
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 1: which is they didn't think he was quite right right,

566
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 1: and what he's done so far in Minnesota suggests he's

567
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 1: not quite right. And going back to the linebacker thing,

568
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 1: it started before that they had they let go of

569
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,639
Speaker 1: a really good player and Anthony Hitchens, And yeah, they

570
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 1: would have had to pay the money for that, but

571
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 1: you know, they probably knew they were gonna cut DEAs anyway,

572
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 1: so they had it. But you know, drafting Vanderesh and

573
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 1: now I think they've got probably two of the best

574
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 1: inside backers in the league. It's really you know, this

575
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:32,640
Speaker 1: is something that I've thought a lot about over the years,

576
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 1: just with how the game has changed. But like a

577
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 1: lot like running back, like you could at least try

578
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:40,119
Speaker 1: to make an argument that linebacker is becoming obsolete, at

579
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:43,399
Speaker 1: least the way that you think of linebacker play. But

580
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:45,359
Speaker 1: then you see what these two guys can do, Like

581
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,680
Speaker 1: if you have the right linebackers like super freaks, like

582
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,640
Speaker 1: Laton Vanderesh and Jalen Smith who can who were fast

583
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 1: enough to do things in coverage and physical enough to

584
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 1: handle the run. It makes a difference. And I mean

585
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 1: we see that with Jacksonville too, That's part of what

586
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 1: makes their defense so good. But if you can get

587
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 1: your hands on those guys, you can do a lot

588
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 1: of fun stuff. And I like that's easily one of

589
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 1: the top two or three storylines of the season, is

590
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 1: how it's good those two look. We will talk about

591
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:13,359
Speaker 1: it later in the week, maybe tomorrow, about what you

592
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 1: do with shan Lee when he comes back and how

593
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 1: he integrates back into that. But you look at how

594
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,239
Speaker 1: these two guys have performed since he's been out. I

595
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,639
Speaker 1: think it's been remarkable. It's a stark contrast to what

596
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 1: we've seen in past years when when you lose Shawn

597
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,959
Speaker 1: Lee and the defense just goes to hell. And it

598
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 1: has not been that this this year. This last game,

599
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 1: Jalen had nine tackles and a fumble recovery and Layton

600
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:35,119
Speaker 1: had ten tackles and a pass defense. And by the way,

601
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,439
Speaker 1: that pass defense was as good a pass coverage as

602
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 1: you'd see from a defensive back. It looked like Byron Jones. Yeah,

603
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 1: it was classically good. Our friend of ours, Jeff Sullivan,

604
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:47,719
Speaker 1: tweeted this morning, I didn't realize this. Layton leads the

605
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 1: team with fifty one tackles, sixth in the league, and

606
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 1: since the NFL started tracking tackles, a rookie has never

607
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 1: led the Cowboys. Yep. So that just gives you an

608
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 1: idea of I mean, he'd see he's for they are balling,

609
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be interesting to see. I don't think

610
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 1: that you can city the one of them down. So

611
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 1: at the best case scenario for Sean, it's gonna be

612
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:11,479
Speaker 1: a rotation, I would think, And that's a great rotation

613
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 1: to have when you got three guys that caliber being

614
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 1: able to play and maybe just maybe less less reps

615
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 1: for Shan means he can stay a little more healthy

616
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 1: and you can keep him around. Sean would be okay

617
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 1: with that. Yeah, Honestly, I don't think Sean's the same

618
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 1: as like what Jason was. What Jason was like literally

619
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 1: they maybe try to send somebody on the field, and

620
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 1: Jason's like, get off the field. Yeah, I don't think

621
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 1: Sean's that guy. I really think Jason would have ever

622
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 1: allowed the training camp thing to happen like that where

623
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 1: you miss so much in training camp and hold back.

624
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 1: I mean, there are ways to do this. This isn't

625
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 1: like tight end. This definitely isn't like quarterback. There's ways

626
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 1: to you know, Dave, you always say three guys to

627
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 1: play two, you've got Nickels situations, there are there are

628
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 1: spots to do that and rotate these guys in. And

629
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 1: let's not forget I mean it's a physical position for

630
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 1: those two young guys as well. They are very physical players.

631
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 1: I mean I know Layton. I saw three or four

632
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 1: times he was something's wrong with his hand or some issue.

633
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 1: He kept shaking it after every play. He kept making tackles,

634
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 1: but he's got some kind of issue there. So you know,

635
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 1: I think it'll be good on all of them to

636
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 1: kind of rotate in there. There were also moments yesterday

637
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 1: when Jacksonville would go three wide and the Cowboys stayed

638
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 1: in their base defense. So that's also something to consider

639
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 1: because they got two linebackers or really three in this

640
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 1: instance that they think cover really well. Sometimes they can

641
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 1: stay in base and deep offenses can't dictate to them.

642
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 1: You gotta go to Nickel when you get to three wide.

643
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 1: They can actually keep their base defense on the field

644
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 1: and feel like they can probably handle it pretty well.

645
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 1: All right, let's go ahead and take our final break.

646
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 1: When we come back, we do want to dive in

647
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 1: a little bit more with defense and talk about some

648
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 1: of the things they were able to do yesterday. Well

649
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 1: that when we come right back. This is Dallas Cowboys

651
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,000

652
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 1: find out what he's made up. That's why the Cowboys

653
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,800

704
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 1: Let's get back into a Cowboys defense yesterday. Listen to

705
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 1: some of these numbers they were. They only gave up

706
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 1: two hundred four total net yards only three of twelve possessions.

707
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 1: They allowed the Jacksonville offense past midfield. Think about that,

708
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 1: twelve times they had the ball, only three times they

709
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 1: even got past mid feel they only allowed first downs

710
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 1: on nine I'm sorry, they allowed one or a few

711
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 1: or first downs on only nine of the twelve possessions.

712
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 1: And there was only one possession in the entire game

713
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 1: of the twelve possessions they had or the Cowboys allowed

714
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 1: them to have two first downs. Think about that, not touchdowns,

715
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 1: not field goals, like two first downs. That's what the

716
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 1: Cowboys allowed only on one of twelve possessions. Dominating, absolutely

717
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 1: dominating performance by the defense. I'll say it again, like

718
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 1: that's that. If the Cowboys are going to turn this

719
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 1: thing around, they obviously need that. Well turnaround sounds harsh

720
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 1: since they're three and three now, but if they're going

721
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 1: to play better more consistently, their offense obviously has to

722
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:47,399
Speaker 1: keep doing that. But the defense being what it is

723
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:50,440
Speaker 1: is what really gives me the most confidence. Defenses travel,

724
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:53,759
Speaker 1: like people like to say, and they have been consistent

725
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 1: over six weeks. They have not let a team score

726
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 1: more than twenty four points six weeks into the season. Yep,

727
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 1: that's pretty impressive. There are a few guys I want

728
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 1: to point out individually. We talked about David Irving a

729
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 1: little bit. He returned yesterday, had two tackles, one tackle,

730
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 1: four loss when QB hit. How much did he play

731
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 1: and what was your assessment of his play overall in

732
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:18,720
Speaker 1: those snaps he played twenty two snaps. He well, obviously

733
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:20,399
Speaker 1: much more that you would probably expect for a guy

734
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:22,359
Speaker 1: to have. Yeah, actually I asked him. I asked him

735
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 1: about that after the game and he was like, yeah,

736
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:25,880
Speaker 1: they told me ten to fifteen, but I knew that

737
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:29,239
Speaker 1: was a lie. Which. Yeah, he showed a lot, he

738
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:32,799
Speaker 1: had the juice. Um Amber brought it up, but it

739
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:34,880
Speaker 1: seemed like he tapered off. You know, I'm sure he

740
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 1: was amped. I'm sure he was excited. He you know,

741
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 1: we were talking about it before the show. He might

742
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 1: have blocked a punt if he hadn't gotten held. I

743
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 1: think it was their first punt of the game. He

744
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 1: broke right through the line, so I'm sure he kind

745
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:49,279
Speaker 1: of got worn down. He hadn't played football in a year.

746
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:51,759
Speaker 1: But if that's your first impression after a year off,

747
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:54,759
Speaker 1: I'm more than happy with it. Yeah, yep. Let's talk

748
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:59,120
Speaker 1: about about Randy Gregory. Yesterday he had a sack, three tackles,

749
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:02,759
Speaker 1: two tackles for loss. That was really the first game

750
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 1: in my opinion, that he kind of showed up in

751
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 1: a way that was tangent. What did you guys think

752
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:09,759
Speaker 1: and what do you think that maybe means for the

753
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 1: future here? Well, I mean, you're right, he hasn't been

754
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 1: that consistent. Um he got a chance to play a

755
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 1: little bit more with Um DeMarcus Lawrence kind of limited

756
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 1: with it with an injury, So you know, I thought

757
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 1: I thought he was really active. That's all that you're

758
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:27,799
Speaker 1: really looking to do there, Especially in the run game.

759
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,280
Speaker 1: You think he's gonna get around the edge and create

760
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:32,360
Speaker 1: some pass rush. But I thought he did a decent

761
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 1: job in the run game. Running laterally, I thought he

762
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:38,279
Speaker 1: did a nice job. Cheeto didn't play much that Cheeto

763
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:40,840
Speaker 1: did not play, did not play at all. No, Okay,

764
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:45,280
Speaker 1: but that being said, yeah, I mentioned Malie Collins too. Okay,

765
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:47,279
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get to him. I'm jumping around. Well, you're

766
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 1: in the lines. It might as well just I'm jumping

767
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 1: around ghetting everybody. Okay, but but talk to me about

768
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,840
Speaker 1: Jordan Lewis. Talk to me about Anthony Brown. How they performed,

769
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:58,799
Speaker 1: I guess without Cheeto being in the lineup. I talked

770
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,919
Speaker 1: to Jordan last night too. I said, is it fair

771
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:03,799
Speaker 1: to say that this has been a frustrating month for

772
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 1: you leading up to this? And uh, you know, he

773
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 1: did his best to downplay it, and you know, he said,

774
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 1: he said, Chris Rahshard calls him the relief pitcher, is like,

775
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:15,719
Speaker 1: we know you can play, but we need you in

776
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:17,840
Speaker 1: case when these guys go down. And that's what happened.

777
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:19,879
Speaker 1: Chido hasn't been able to go in the last six

778
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:23,880
Speaker 1: or so quarters, and I thought, he's he's played great

779
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 1: and I'm yeah, he recovered the fumble, but he was

780
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 1: making tackles in space and had great coverage. Absolutely got

781
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:34,279
Speaker 1: them off the field on a drive that otherwise would

782
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:38,280
Speaker 1: have kept going. So m he was. He was pretty

783
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:40,759
Speaker 1: shaky in the preseason and obvious, you know, had the

784
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 1: bad play against Detroit, but the way he has rebounded

785
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 1: from that is very very impressive. Talk about Malik Collins

786
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:51,719
Speaker 1: amber One tell us how how Malik played yesterday. I

787
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 1: think they did really good. Uh, taking into consideration the

788
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:58,720
Speaker 1: time that he's been out and coming off from an injury.

789
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:02,319
Speaker 1: He's had something wrapped around his knee since we got

790
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 1: here pretty much, I think I've seen him every day

791
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:06,839
Speaker 1: with a thing wrapped around there. So it was really

792
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 1: nice to see him get his first attack and helping

793
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:12,320
Speaker 1: the line. I think when you put all those guys together,

794
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 1: even including David Irving back in there, you could really

795
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:19,399
Speaker 1: see the difference that makes on the line. As well

796
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 1: as Randy Gregory. I think that had a lot to

797
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 1: do with his performance last night and how that affects

798
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 1: everyone on the line. It creates a different kind of

799
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:32,719
Speaker 1: energy and he gets everyone going. And obviously you can't

800
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:36,239
Speaker 1: focus as far as their offensive line. You can't put

801
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:38,480
Speaker 1: all your focus on one person when you have so

802
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:41,759
Speaker 1: many great guys there. That's going to create opportunities and

803
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:43,880
Speaker 1: holes for some of your guys to break in and

804
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 1: get to the quarterback. Yeah, Jeff, he got the first

805
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:51,759
Speaker 1: interception of the season for the Cowboys, and it was

806
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:58,720
Speaker 1: a pretty I'm sorry season Yeah, yes, the first yesterday,

807
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 1: but the second for the season second. Sorry, but but

808
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 1: it was a I think a needed thing that we

809
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 1: needed to see them get some interceptions. It was a

810
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 1: good play by Byron Jones to get to get the ball.

811
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:14,399
Speaker 1: I had this conversation last night with another be writer,

812
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 1: like live live in the moment, You're like, what a

813
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 1: play by Byron Jones, And I think it was late

814
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 1: and vander esh Or it was a linebacker, Like, what

815
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:26,479
Speaker 1: a play by Byron Jones to back that up for Heath.

816
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:29,799
Speaker 1: Then you look at it again and you're like, oh,

817
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 1: way to go, Heath, You're in the right spot. And

818
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:32,920
Speaker 1: by the third time I watched it, I was like,

819
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:35,239
Speaker 1: cash the ball, Byron, Come on, man, that should have

820
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:38,359
Speaker 1: been yours. Which no, I mean, great play, Heath. It

821
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 1: probably doesn't get returned if Byron picks it off, but

822
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:43,520
Speaker 1: like cat catch the ball. I mean, that's all good,

823
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, is on to

824
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 1: somebody intercepted it? Really don't care. I mean, you know,

825
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:51,279
Speaker 1: I mean that's just right, But usually don't have three

826
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 1: guys around the ball. So what if it's just one

827
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 1: on one you turn around and it hits you in

828
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 1: the face and goes down to the ground. I mean,

829
00:39:57,239 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 1: then it's now it's a come on, man, it's it is.

830
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 1: It's a nitpick. Especially, I mean Jeff had a fifty

831
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 1: yard return. It was great and like I said, it

832
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 1: put him in better position. But Byron probably should have

833
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 1: had it. And that's also what you expect from your

834
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:13,160
Speaker 1: safeties is being able to be in the right place

835
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 1: at the right time. Is about most of the interceptions

836
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:17,880
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Most of them happened because there's a

837
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:20,440
Speaker 1: tip pass and somebody's in the right spot. Most of

838
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 1: the time, it's a say it's not forget that Layton

839
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 1: Vanderish was also down the field, like his hands up.

840
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 1: And I mean people think people think I'm kidding when

841
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 1: I call Jeff Heath the goat, and I don't know

842
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 1: how to explain it, but like that is a that

843
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:38,279
Speaker 1: is a talent, and I don't know how to explain it.

844
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:40,839
Speaker 1: But like he's always where he needs to be when

845
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:44,480
Speaker 1: that happens, he's just one step away from being great.

846
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:48,279
Speaker 1: I feel that he he's always close to being at

847
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 1: the right place. At the right time. And again when

848
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:53,759
Speaker 1: you come when you talk about interceptions and stuff like that,

849
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 1: usually it's Jeff Heath making those plays. It's always Jeff Keith.

850
00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 1: So I don't know, but he's always right there. Borderline,

851
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:04,439
Speaker 1: he's he was pissed that Woods got on the board first.

852
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:06,880
Speaker 1: He's like, I'm not giving up my crown as reigning

853
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:10,719
Speaker 1: interception king just yet. Like people can laugh all they want.

854
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 1: He's always there when when when that opportunity arises. We'll

855
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 1: take some calls to you, guys, give us a call.

856
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 1: Numbers eight eight eight eight five five two two nine seven.

857
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 1: Again it is eight eight eight eight five five two

858
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 1: two nine seven. I will take this one. Comment from Twitter,

859
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 1: Antoine Ferris says they were up thirty something points by

860
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 1: mid third. They clearly took their foot off the pedal

861
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:36,640
Speaker 1: and pressed cruise control. The Jacks didn't stop them. I

862
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:39,160
Speaker 1: feel like the Dallas media today is throwing cold blanket

863
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:41,680
Speaker 1: on this win. I'll ask you, guys, do you think

864
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:43,719
Speaker 1: that in the second half, or do you make much

865
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:45,879
Speaker 1: of the second half that the Cowboys weren't scoring as

866
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 1: easily or as frequently, or do you think it was

867
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 1: just one of those situations where you kind of play

868
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 1: the game that's given to you. Get to the second half,

869
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 1: you're up by a lot, you just play that game.

870
00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 1: You play a little more conservative, Maybee maybe in order

871
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 1: to ensure that you don't mean give them the opportunities.

872
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 1: They managed the game perfectly. I had a couple of

873
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 1: people on Twitter say that to me that it helps

874
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 1: when you don't have to manage the game. That's not

875
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:08,480
Speaker 1: true at all. I think Garrett managed the game perfectly.

876
00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:11,400
Speaker 1: They only say that though in a loss. But the

877
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:13,239
Speaker 1: only way you're going to lose that game is if

878
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 1: you let Jacksonville's defense make a lot of plays. It's

879
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 1: not about being conservative, it's about being smart. But Lake

880
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:20,759
Speaker 1: Bortles is not going to drive the ball down the

881
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:23,360
Speaker 1: field consistently and get you back in the game. So

882
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 1: don't do anything stupid. Just keep running the ball, being

883
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:29,040
Speaker 1: a little bit exotic at times, make field goals, and

884
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:32,279
Speaker 1: keep adding on to the lead. I mean, I heard

885
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:33,920
Speaker 1: the same thing they let their foot off the gas.

886
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:36,319
Speaker 1: If you can outscore someone sixteen to seven in the

887
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 1: second half and that's that's with your foot off the gas,

888
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:42,279
Speaker 1: that's pretty impressive. It just shows how much you were

889
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:46,360
Speaker 1: speeding in the first half. Yeah, perfect win. Who's throwing

890
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:49,719
Speaker 1: a cold, wet blanket on the win? Like, I haven't

891
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:52,799
Speaker 1: heard that anywhere? I think, if anything, what does that mean?

892
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:56,160
Speaker 1: Like people aren't giving the Cowboys enough credit? Like you

893
00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 1: throw a wet blanket on a fire to put it out,

894
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:02,839
Speaker 1: helping you out with this? You know idioms if you will, um.

895
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:07,759
Speaker 1: I If anything, I think people are just confused. I mean,

896
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:10,279
Speaker 1: like you know, I mean like the way you say that,

897
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 1: confused to go from twenty sixth in total offense and

898
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:17,360
Speaker 1: really like not looking great in any game you've played,

899
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 1: even your smashing the best defense. I think people are confused.

900
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:25,239
Speaker 1: But I haven't seen anybody downplaying it. And yeah, like

901
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:28,480
Speaker 1: get out of here with that, taking your foot off

902
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:30,960
Speaker 1: that you won forty to seven in the NFL. This

903
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 1: ain't college where you know ls you played Southeastern and

904
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:37,400
Speaker 1: you wish the backups had played a little better after halftime,

905
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 1: Like this is pro football. The starters are gonna play

906
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:42,040
Speaker 1: until the very end of the game. Dak didn't come

907
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:44,360
Speaker 1: out until there were less than five minutes left in

908
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:48,319
Speaker 1: a thirty three point win. I yeah, I thought, I mean,

909
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:51,280
Speaker 1: obviously you're not going to be going for the throat

910
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 1: the same way when you've got a twenty four point

911
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 1: lead in the second half. But they scored two touchdowns,

912
00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:58,279
Speaker 1: they forced takeaways, and then the best part, you know

913
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:00,680
Speaker 1: it kind of it looked a little dicey the third quarter.

914
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:02,960
Speaker 1: There what Jacksonville had their best drive of the day.

915
00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:06,279
Speaker 1: They hit DD Westbrook on play where you know they

916
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:08,080
Speaker 1: got the Cowboys out of it. You know, they were

917
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:10,239
Speaker 1: in a bad coverage for that call. And then the

918
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:13,359
Speaker 1: Cowboys buckled down, went back, answered with a fuel goal,

919
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:17,040
Speaker 1: picked off Bortals on the next Jacksonville possession, and had

920
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 1: a thirty to seven lead five minutes after the fact. Like,

921
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:21,839
Speaker 1: I don't buy that at all. I thought they played

922
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 1: great all the way through. I will say this, I

923
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:25,799
Speaker 1: think that maybe what he's referring to when he says

924
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:27,640
Speaker 1: that is that I don't know that there's anybody that's

925
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 1: committed to the fact that this means that the Cowboys

926
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:32,759
Speaker 1: offense has found its rhythm and they're ready to roll.

927
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:35,600
Speaker 1: I think there's still some caution and some optimism. I

928
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:38,279
Speaker 1: am cautiously optimistic that they will find that they will

929
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:40,560
Speaker 1: be better as we keep going, But I do think

930
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:43,680
Speaker 1: there were some things in this game that were unique

931
00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 1: to this game that they may not see when they

932
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 1: get to Washington. So I'll be interested to see how

933
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:51,320
Speaker 1: well the offense plays against the new challenges. Nick, you said, Ali,

934
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:53,719
Speaker 1: every game's gonna have as different challenges. I think the

935
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:56,440
Speaker 1: arrogance of this defense was that they were willing to

936
00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:59,360
Speaker 1: try what wasn't working, and they stuck with it so

937
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 1: long that the Cowboys just got out to such an

938
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:04,360
Speaker 1: insurmountable lead that they really weren't gonna They don't have

939
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:06,279
Speaker 1: the offense that's going to come back from something like that.

940
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:07,799
Speaker 1: I don't know that you're going to run into that

941
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:10,520
Speaker 1: with the next defense that you again, that's it's still

942
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:13,879
Speaker 1: crazy to me that, um, you know, I mean we've

943
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:16,080
Speaker 1: been on this show, Nick's, we've all said it, like

944
00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:18,440
Speaker 1: the I mean, the blueprint for stopping this team is

945
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:21,320
Speaker 1: bracketing Cole Beasley and stuff in the box to stop

946
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:24,360
Speaker 1: the run, right, and the Jags have a better cornerback

947
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:27,759
Speaker 1: duo than anybody in the NFL. And it's just if

948
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:30,399
Speaker 1: really that's all it is. They're so arrogant that they're like,

949
00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:33,400
Speaker 1: our fifth guy can handle it. Like then they're stupid.

950
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 1: I mean, well, they did for the first half. They

951
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 1: were like Patman's good, He's all right, keep it going,

952
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:41,080
Speaker 1: let's go whatever. You know, we talked about talking about

953
00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:44,120
Speaker 1: these five plays. We don't have to get to all

954
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:46,160
Speaker 1: of them, but I do think the number one, the

955
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:48,680
Speaker 1: one that I put on here was the early past

956
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:51,279
Speaker 1: the gallop. I think changed a lot of things because

957
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:53,880
Speaker 1: number one, it kind of put them in a mindset

958
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:55,799
Speaker 1: of you know what, yeah, we can move the ball,

959
00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:58,960
Speaker 1: we can make some plays here. And also it opens

960
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:01,839
Speaker 1: things up for bees when you start doing things like that,

961
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 1: when you're like, at least you have it in there

962
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:06,279
Speaker 1: to know that gallup can go make a play or

963
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:08,640
Speaker 1: somebody down the field. I thought that was a key

964
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:11,359
Speaker 1: play for confidence for the fans, for everybody to kind

965
00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:13,399
Speaker 1: of get in the game and wonderings this team ever

966
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:15,759
Speaker 1: gonna score. Yeah, yeah, they're gonna they're gonna drive the ball,

967
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:17,840
Speaker 1: and then they're not afraid. And I thought that passed

968
00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:19,600
Speaker 1: right out there really set the tone for a lot

969
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:21,560
Speaker 1: of things that happened the rest of the game. Yeah,

970
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 1: and you know the interesting part yesterday I thought there

971
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:25,600
Speaker 1: was some really really and that actually they're showing it

972
00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 1: right now for you guys that are watching that that

973
00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:30,719
Speaker 1: play to Gallop book that should have been a touchdown.

974
00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:35,440
Speaker 1: It was amazing that he hung in the hairs down right,

975
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:37,719
Speaker 1: but imagine how long that meant. He just hung in

976
00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:40,799
Speaker 1: the air for an extra for an extra moment where

977
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:42,560
Speaker 1: your foot should come down. This is what said, NA,

978
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:45,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stay up on him though, right, No, it's

979
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:47,719
Speaker 1: absolutely on him. All I'm saying, though is All I'm

980
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:49,760
Speaker 1: saying though, is And I think that was an example

981
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:51,920
Speaker 1: of it. There was some moments yesterday when Dak made

982
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:54,560
Speaker 1: some really great throws. I mean some really great throws,

983
00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:56,320
Speaker 1: and I talk about it a lot on this show

984
00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:58,399
Speaker 1: that I'm not seeing enough of those, so I would

985
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:01,200
Speaker 1: give him credit. Yesterday he made some really really great

986
00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:03,640
Speaker 1: throws that a NFL quarterback has to be able to

987
00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:05,480
Speaker 1: make if you're going to be success. He did. His

988
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:09,000
Speaker 1: receivers also made some plays. I mean, obviously Gallup didn't

989
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 1: catch that, but that was an amazing effort. Beasley. I

990
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:13,600
Speaker 1: don't think it was a touchdown. I think it was

991
00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:15,920
Speaker 1: a third down conversion, but like the ball was above

992
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:17,520
Speaker 1: him and behind him and he just went up and

993
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:19,279
Speaker 1: got it. Yeah, you got it. That's a part of

994
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:21,960
Speaker 1: the game. People. Everything's not gonna be perfect, right, Yeah,

995
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:25,279
Speaker 1: And it wasn't even a completion, but Alan Hearns did

996
00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:27,799
Speaker 1: a great job forcing Jalen Ramsey out of bounds on

997
00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:31,520
Speaker 1: that would be pick like you. I mean, the stat

998
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:33,760
Speaker 1: line doesn't reflect it because Beasley was the only receiver

999
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:37,360
Speaker 1: that really had a day. But I thought they played

1000
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:39,239
Speaker 1: as well as they have all year. I agree, Nick,

1001
00:47:39,239 --> 00:47:40,920
Speaker 1: you got into it. Let's get to some of those

1002
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:43,520
Speaker 1: other plays. The five plays that people might miss that

1003
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:45,719
Speaker 1: they should not miss. That that passed the gallop was

1004
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:47,560
Speaker 1: the one that started in the first quarter. Going back

1005
00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:51,040
Speaker 1: into the first quarter, Cowboys led three nothing. Jacksonville punted

1006
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:53,680
Speaker 1: from their own twenty eight holding penalty because David Irving

1007
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:55,880
Speaker 1: is probably gonna block it. It was a bad punt,

1008
00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:58,759
Speaker 1: just thirty yards. Then I don't I hate this rule,

1009
00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:01,760
Speaker 1: but you can add the ten yards to the punt.

1010
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:03,920
Speaker 1: I think you should get one one or the other.

1011
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:07,239
Speaker 1: But whatever, the Cowboys punted. The Jacksonville punting from the

1012
00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:09,480
Speaker 1: twenty eight, they ended up starting at the forty eight,

1013
00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:11,800
Speaker 1: so just a twenty yard net. Cowboys took that and

1014
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:14,840
Speaker 1: went and scored. I thought that that holding punt holding

1015
00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:16,840
Speaker 1: on the punt with a with a really you know,

1016
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:19,000
Speaker 1: short punt. That was that gave the Cowboys a good

1017
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:22,759
Speaker 1: position there. Um Dax double dribble for a first down.

1018
00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:24,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, I don't know what's going on.

1019
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:26,600
Speaker 1: The ball doesn't just bounce up to you, but it

1020
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:29,800
Speaker 1: did for a time twice. That was it was about

1021
00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:31,920
Speaker 1: to be a five yard loss. He gets seven yards

1022
00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:34,000
Speaker 1: for a first down. They go and get a touchdown

1023
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:37,440
Speaker 1: on that. Later in the second quarter. This this was

1024
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:40,120
Speaker 1: a huge play. Seventeen to nothing. They're about to punt

1025
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:42,960
Speaker 1: twelve minut on the field for the jack for the Jaguars.

1026
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:46,040
Speaker 1: I forgot about fourth. That was fourth and one. Enormous

1027
00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:49,080
Speaker 1: Cowboys get that five yards to go down. Score beasily

1028
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:50,839
Speaker 1: twenty four to nothing at the half. I mean that

1029
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:52,279
Speaker 1: that right there was a play of the game. And

1030
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:56,200
Speaker 1: then after Jacksonville score twenty four seven, you're kind of thinking,

1031
00:48:56,239 --> 00:48:58,520
Speaker 1: all right, they're gonna go three and out the crowd,

1032
00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:00,799
Speaker 1: you know, the Jaguar was about to get into this.

1033
00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:03,960
Speaker 1: Dak goes for twenty eight yards on that scramble. That

1034
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:07,279
Speaker 1: changed everything. They went down and kicked a field goal. Um.

1035
00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:09,240
Speaker 1: I did watch the game last night, and I remember

1036
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:13,040
Speaker 1: that Dede Westbrook had a dropped pass that Bordles was

1037
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:15,440
Speaker 1: kind of flipped it out there. Yeah, and that was

1038
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:17,680
Speaker 1: have been a first down. He dropped the first possession

1039
00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:20,200
Speaker 1: of the game. It was the second quarter. Okay, it

1040
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:23,160
Speaker 1: was second quarter, but still it was like seventeen nothing.

1041
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:25,640
Speaker 1: They needed to do something there, So that that was

1042
00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:28,080
Speaker 1: kind of big. But those six plays right there were ones.

1043
00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:29,680
Speaker 1: I thought it kind of changed things. Hard to find

1044
00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:33,480
Speaker 1: him when you're forty to seven. I really love that.

1045
00:49:34,080 --> 00:49:36,640
Speaker 1: Obviously there was an element of designed run in the

1046
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:38,839
Speaker 1: game plan for Dak, but I love that he did both.

1047
00:49:39,080 --> 00:49:42,160
Speaker 1: And I mean, it just it needs again, it needs

1048
00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:45,160
Speaker 1: to be I think. I mean that his career high

1049
00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:48,480
Speaker 1: before this game was only forty five, which is surprising.

1050
00:49:48,520 --> 00:49:50,239
Speaker 1: Then what did it just the other day? I mean

1051
00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:52,439
Speaker 1: went against the Giants. Yeah, it was three weeks ago,

1052
00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:55,160
Speaker 1: four weeks ago. Um, so who who has the record

1053
00:49:55,239 --> 00:49:56,880
Speaker 1: for rushing yards? And I mean, I know it was

1054
00:49:56,960 --> 00:50:00,840
Speaker 1: second was still ninety or nine to something like that.

1055
00:50:01,080 --> 00:50:03,000
Speaker 1: I just you know, and he doesn't mean he's amazing

1056
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:05,000
Speaker 1: for back in that day. For him to still hold

1057
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:08,120
Speaker 1: that record, it's pretty pretty interesting. He he doesn't need

1058
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:10,399
Speaker 1: eighty two, but you know, if he has thirty five,

1059
00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:13,800
Speaker 1: that's a couple key first downs and maybe a touchdown,

1060
00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:17,400
Speaker 1: and it keeps defenses guessing. I just I think it

1061
00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:19,799
Speaker 1: needs to be part of what they do weekly. Even

1062
00:50:19,840 --> 00:50:21,880
Speaker 1: if defense is key on it, they still need to

1063
00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:24,000
Speaker 1: try to get it to, you know, get it started.

1064
00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:27,160
Speaker 1: One thing that hasn't really been talked about and is

1065
00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:29,920
Speaker 1: the injury to Tavon Austin. He left the game with

1066
00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:33,040
Speaker 1: the joint injury. I don't know it because of was

1067
00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:35,239
Speaker 1: it because of score or what? Did he have to

1068
00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:38,080
Speaker 1: leave the game? He looked, I mean doesn't look They

1069
00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:40,439
Speaker 1: haven't given us much of an update. Jason Garrett didn't

1070
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:42,279
Speaker 1: have a lot to say about it. Surprised to be place.

1071
00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:45,800
Speaker 1: He wasn't injury, he was. He was on the ground

1072
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:48,439
Speaker 1: for a while, like he I mean, he wasn't. He didn't.

1073
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:49,799
Speaker 1: He didn't look like he was in a good way

1074
00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:51,760
Speaker 1: and he went to the locker room right after. And

1075
00:50:52,440 --> 00:50:55,719
Speaker 1: for a guy who's that's that's that's what he does. Yeah,

1076
00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:58,399
Speaker 1: I would guess it might be Bryce Butler time. Yeah,

1077
00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:01,240
Speaker 1: and that bye week coming up a help, Yeah, it helps.

1078
00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:04,200
Speaker 1: And it's kind of also just it's really easy to

1079
00:51:04,239 --> 00:51:06,840
Speaker 1: say all right, let's justify this week, which I know

1080
00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:08,640
Speaker 1: we touched on this a minute ago, but were people

1081
00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:11,200
Speaker 1: were talking about that on Twitter last night and I agree, um,

1082
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:14,480
Speaker 1: bye week coming up. I know he was just out here,

1083
00:51:14,520 --> 00:51:16,399
Speaker 1: but like, I'm not in a huge hurry to put

1084
00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:17,840
Speaker 1: Sean Lee on the field if I don't have to,

1085
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:19,719
Speaker 1: and I don't know, you don't have to like the

1086
00:51:19,719 --> 00:51:21,640
Speaker 1: way these guys are playing, you really feel like you

1087
00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:24,320
Speaker 1: could you could give him another week to get right. Yeah,

1088
00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:27,360
Speaker 1: he's not. These guys aren't track guys like like Tavon Austin,

1089
00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:29,399
Speaker 1: but you know, the Jets sweep. I mean you can

1090
00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:32,520
Speaker 1: do things with guys. I mean Michael Gallup can run that.

1091
00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:35,239
Speaker 1: I mean there are guys that can run that type

1092
00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:36,759
Speaker 1: of play. I don't think it has to be just

1093
00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:39,359
Speaker 1: out of the play the playbook. I don't know if

1094
00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:41,640
Speaker 1: I want Bryce doing it, but I mean somebody like

1095
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:45,000
Speaker 1: that continues to work damn near every time they pull

1096
00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:47,799
Speaker 1: it out, even though they don't like to. Yep, Yeah,

1097
00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:49,600
Speaker 1: and they I mean they've they've done it with lesser

1098
00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:51,480
Speaker 1: guys in the past, so I think you can get

1099
00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:53,160
Speaker 1: away with that. I mean, there's a way to diference

1100
00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:54,640
Speaker 1: used to run it. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. There's

1101
00:51:54,640 --> 00:51:56,000
Speaker 1: a way to do it. And the thing about it

1102
00:51:56,040 --> 00:51:58,480
Speaker 1: is it just keeps it just keeps the defense off balance.

1103
00:51:58,640 --> 00:52:00,320
Speaker 1: So even if you pick up five six yards. I

1104
00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:02,839
Speaker 1: saw the Patriots last night in their game, they'd use Edelman.

1105
00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:04,560
Speaker 1: I think he got six yards on it, like he's

1106
00:52:04,600 --> 00:52:06,640
Speaker 1: not a speedster. But the point is it just keeps

1107
00:52:06,640 --> 00:52:10,440
Speaker 1: the defense. Bounce's one extra thing that yeah, I agree with. Yeah,

1108
00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:12,680
Speaker 1: fast guy and get him around the edge. The blueprint

1109
00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:15,480
Speaker 1: is going to be load up and stop Zeke from

1110
00:52:15,520 --> 00:52:18,640
Speaker 1: here into eternity. So anything I can do to create

1111
00:52:18,719 --> 00:52:23,120
Speaker 1: even a smidgeon of misdirection and second guessing, I want

1112
00:52:23,120 --> 00:52:24,759
Speaker 1: to do it. Yeah. And I will say this too, Nick,

1113
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:25,880
Speaker 1: I want to go back to that play that you

1114
00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:28,800
Speaker 1: were talking about, with that punt, without that that penalty,

1115
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:31,000
Speaker 1: the Cowboys give the ball back, that would have been

1116
00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:33,280
Speaker 1: the first time in that game. It's weird to believe,

1117
00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:34,520
Speaker 1: but that would have been the first time in that

1118
00:52:34,560 --> 00:52:36,839
Speaker 1: game the Jacksonville defense would have stopped the Cowboys from

1119
00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:39,560
Speaker 1: scoring on a drive. Instead, the Cowboys going to a

1120
00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:42,600
Speaker 1: sixteen play drive that took up seven minutes and fourteen

1121
00:52:42,640 --> 00:52:46,120
Speaker 1: seconds and ended in a touchdown that gave them the

1122
00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:48,719
Speaker 1: three touchdowns and a field goal for the entire for

1123
00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:50,839
Speaker 1: all four possessions that they had there in the first half,

1124
00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:53,560
Speaker 1: that was, in my opinion, that was may have been

1125
00:52:53,640 --> 00:52:56,239
Speaker 1: the play of the game that nobody remembers. Yeah, and

1126
00:52:56,320 --> 00:52:59,000
Speaker 1: you know what I've been doing this twenty years that

1127
00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:01,640
Speaker 1: I haven't had assistant coach that I like as much

1128
00:53:01,640 --> 00:53:04,640
Speaker 1: as Jod Camillis. He's my favorite assistant coach of all time.

1129
00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:07,040
Speaker 1: And you know, it was a tough day for him

1130
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:10,560
Speaker 1: for the Jaguars. He's over there in Jacksonville, and you know,

1131
00:53:10,640 --> 00:53:12,560
Speaker 1: to have the twelve men on the field, and then

1132
00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:15,960
Speaker 1: I also have that holding penalty that changed things. I

1133
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:17,960
Speaker 1: mean that that was a rough day for them, and

1134
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:21,040
Speaker 1: the Cowboys did not have any penalties on special teams.

1135
00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:22,959
Speaker 1: There's another play too. He tried to a little trick

1136
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:27,799
Speaker 1: play reverse verse and they blew that up. Not only that,

1137
00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:31,000
Speaker 1: but but the guy got hurt, the returner, Mickens, Yeah,

1138
00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:34,480
Speaker 1: got hurt. And then we'll chart. I mean, he didn't

1139
00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:36,560
Speaker 1: get hurt on that play, but got hurt later. The

1140
00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:40,399
Speaker 1: guy good Goodwin CJ. Good Yes, they brought him in

1141
00:53:40,719 --> 00:53:43,640
Speaker 1: because he's a good gunners and he blew up the

1142
00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:45,760
Speaker 1: freaking you know, that could have been a big return

1143
00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:48,440
Speaker 1: if he hadn't blown it up. So funny how that works.

1144
00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:51,480
Speaker 1: We've talked about pretty much everybody on this team. I'm

1145
00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:54,160
Speaker 1: trying to think of I was just thinking of, speaking

1146
00:53:54,160 --> 00:53:57,239
Speaker 1: of penalties. I'm like, man, it is really crazy how

1147
00:53:57,440 --> 00:54:01,479
Speaker 1: literally everything was working for the Cowboys, the offense, Dak,

1148
00:54:01,800 --> 00:54:05,560
Speaker 1: the running game, the receivers, the offensive line, the defense,

1149
00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:08,840
Speaker 1: and the penalties, which we know that the Cowboys offense

1150
00:54:09,200 --> 00:54:13,280
Speaker 1: have made their fair amount of penalties, which have definitely

1151
00:54:13,320 --> 00:54:17,040
Speaker 1: affected the game in the worst side of things for them,

1152
00:54:17,719 --> 00:54:20,719
Speaker 1: Especially when you you're facing a defensive line like this,

1153
00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:23,319
Speaker 1: you just expect somebody to get called for holding. You

1154
00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:26,719
Speaker 1: expect that to happen, holding, false start, like all those

1155
00:54:26,760 --> 00:54:29,200
Speaker 1: things factory in when you're playing a defense that's that good.

1156
00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:32,000
Speaker 1: Typically it's funny. I mean, we've talked. We talked about

1157
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:33,719
Speaker 1: it on the show, we've talked about it off the air,

1158
00:54:33,880 --> 00:54:36,359
Speaker 1: just like you know, I mean, Nick, how many times

1159
00:54:36,360 --> 00:54:37,880
Speaker 1: has he brought up eight and eight, Like, well, this

1160
00:54:37,920 --> 00:54:40,480
Speaker 1: is how you get to eight and eight? And I

1161
00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:43,360
Speaker 1: don't I think ninety I'm sure you know there's some

1162
00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:46,000
Speaker 1: guy out there who picked forty four to seventeen, like

1163
00:54:46,080 --> 00:54:48,480
Speaker 1: he knew this was coming. I want to meet that guy.

1164
00:54:48,520 --> 00:54:51,200
Speaker 1: I know. I haven't heard that he knew all along. Jerry.

1165
00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:53,439
Speaker 1: He's his office up there, and I don't think even

1166
00:54:53,480 --> 00:54:56,000
Speaker 1: in his I don't think Jerry saw that coming. But

1167
00:54:56,719 --> 00:54:58,839
Speaker 1: so I'm sitting there. You know, if they got out

1168
00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:00,880
Speaker 1: like a twenty four to twenty win and the offense

1169
00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:03,320
Speaker 1: pretty much looks the same, like, I think, you probably

1170
00:55:03,360 --> 00:55:05,840
Speaker 1: get a whole lot of sarcastic applause, like a cool

1171
00:55:06,120 --> 00:55:07,600
Speaker 1: and that's that's how you get to eight and eight.

1172
00:55:07,640 --> 00:55:10,800
Speaker 1: But like, if they can do this to that defense,

1173
00:55:11,360 --> 00:55:14,120
Speaker 1: it at least gives you cause for optimism that it

1174
00:55:14,160 --> 00:55:16,319
Speaker 1: really could be a turning point, which I can't believe.

1175
00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:18,839
Speaker 1: I'm saying that because I really I had my mind

1176
00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:21,680
Speaker 1: pretty firmly made up about what this team was until

1177
00:55:21,760 --> 00:55:24,719
Speaker 1: yesterday at about five o'clock. I think Sunday Sunday's game

1178
00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:28,160
Speaker 1: in Washington is really going to be the turning point

1179
00:55:28,200 --> 00:55:30,520
Speaker 1: of the entire season. One way or another. You want

1180
00:55:30,520 --> 00:55:32,400
Speaker 1: to stay on the eight and eight train, you go

1181
00:55:32,520 --> 00:55:34,839
Speaker 1: lose that game because then you got a week off

1182
00:55:34,840 --> 00:55:37,160
Speaker 1: and Tennessee comes in and I think you'll win that

1183
00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:40,080
Speaker 1: game on Honey Night and you'll be at four and

1184
00:55:40,160 --> 00:55:41,799
Speaker 1: four at the break and all that good stuff. But

1185
00:55:41,920 --> 00:55:44,080
Speaker 1: you want to get off of that train and actually,

1186
00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:46,680
Speaker 1: you know, be a team that's gonna compete for the

1187
00:55:47,120 --> 00:55:49,759
Speaker 1: division and all that. You got to go to Washington win,

1188
00:55:49,840 --> 00:55:51,919
Speaker 1: you'd be the I think they would be the only team.

1189
00:55:52,160 --> 00:55:54,359
Speaker 1: They would be the only team with two wins in

1190
00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:57,520
Speaker 1: the division if they can do that, right, and you know,

1191
00:55:57,560 --> 00:55:59,080
Speaker 1: I don't know one would have more of the victories

1192
00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:02,239
Speaker 1: than them at four, which quite frankly, that's the most

1193
00:56:02,280 --> 00:56:04,480
Speaker 1: important thing in a division like this that's so close

1194
00:56:04,719 --> 00:56:06,520
Speaker 1: to me, and it doesn't look like any of the

1195
00:56:06,520 --> 00:56:08,600
Speaker 1: teams are running away to the point where wildcard's going

1196
00:56:08,680 --> 00:56:10,600
Speaker 1: to really be an option. So you're gonna have to

1197
00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:13,399
Speaker 1: win this division. That means that division games become the

1198
00:56:13,400 --> 00:56:15,719
Speaker 1: most important games, not that they're not most seasons, but

1199
00:56:16,040 --> 00:56:19,040
Speaker 1: this season especially, it's going to be extremely important. All

1200
00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:21,680
Speaker 1: credit to them. No, no wet blanket here, like this

1201
00:56:21,880 --> 00:56:25,560
Speaker 1: was a resounding but yeah, but I gotta see it again. Yeah,

1202
00:56:25,600 --> 00:56:27,239
Speaker 1: I don't know what it means for the future. You

1203
00:56:27,280 --> 00:56:30,600
Speaker 1: just know yesterday they were dominant, as dominant as we've

1204
00:56:30,640 --> 00:56:32,520
Speaker 1: seen in a long time. Ye all right, we appreciate

1205
00:56:32,520 --> 00:56:33,960
Speaker 1: you guys joined us. We're back tomorrow. We'll look to

1206
00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:36,120
Speaker 1: take a big picture look at this team, how they

1207
00:56:36,120 --> 00:56:38,080
Speaker 1: look around the NFL, what's happening in the NFC East.

1208
00:56:38,120 --> 00:56:40,080
Speaker 1: Till then, for Nick Even, Dave helm At, Amber Garcia,

1209
