Welcome to a very special 0:00:32.760 --> 0:00:37.120 edition of The Break, live from SBWBC Mortgage Studios at 0:00:37.120 --> 0:00:40.800 the Star, and we're so excited to talk Cowboys football today. 0:00:40.840 --> 0:00:44.120 Cowboys get a huge win, probably the most dominating performance 0:00:44.120 --> 0:00:45.839 they've had. Nick, I think your article said in the 0:00:45.920 --> 0:00:48.840 last four years? Is that right? At least at least 0:00:48.840 --> 0:00:52.560 four years? But the Cowboys win forty seven at home 0:00:52.600 --> 0:00:57.480 against the Jacksonville Jaguars made that Jaguars Jaguars defense look 0:00:57.560 --> 0:01:00.240 pretty pedestrian. We'll get into that and talk about what 0:01:00.320 --> 0:01:02.560 the Cowboys did well, not only on offense but also 0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:05.640 on their defense. It was just a dominating performance all 0:01:05.680 --> 0:01:08.240 the way around. Welcome to show. Thank you guys for 0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:11.280 joining us. Let's jump right in Let's first start off. 0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:14.839 There were so many different things that happened in that game, 0:01:14.920 --> 0:01:17.520 so many different moments in that game. So we'll go 0:01:17.520 --> 0:01:19.800 around the table on when everybody tell me what moment 0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:22.080 sticks out to them, what they came away from that 0:01:22.160 --> 0:01:25.200 game with as a big picture view. Let's start with you, Dave, 0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:28.200 what did Okay? I'm glad. Okay, I'm glad the way 0:01:28.240 --> 0:01:32.440 you phrase that, because my main impression from this is 0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:35.640 all right, Well, we'll get into the offense. That's great. 0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:37.640 Good for them, they played a really good game. I 0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:39.600 can't trust that it's for real until I see it 0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:41.880 on a more regular basis. What I come away from 0:01:42.040 --> 0:01:45.400 is once again, this defense, because that is six times 0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:51.080 that they have been very good borderline elite they held 0:01:51.320 --> 0:01:54.160 and Jacksonville's offense is anything to get excited about. I 0:01:54.240 --> 0:01:58.200 understand that, but seven points they're allowing seventeen point two 0:01:58.200 --> 0:02:00.760 per game. They are just now over a d They 0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:03.000 got David Irving back. He looks like he's going to 0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:07.600 contribute to the pass rush. Shaun Lee is presently as 0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:10.640 we sit here, he's outside working out despite the fact 0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:13.680 that it's raining. Totally greatness of that scene, though it's 0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:16.800 rain came steady out there. It's it's forty degree. We 0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:18.600 were shooting a film right now, that would be a 0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:21.799 pretty epic, like, yes, great shot, but there's no need. 0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:24.440 Do you got an indoor field where it's warm and 0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:26.920 good for you to practice in? There no need to 0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:29.800 get wet. It's forty degrees and storming here in Dallas, 0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:32.040 by the way, it feels like thirty two because of 0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:34.680 the wind. Like, it's pretty cool, it's raining. It's switched. 0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:37.639 Shawn Lee is out on the outdoor practice field working 0:02:37.639 --> 0:02:40.440 out his hamstring trying to get right, probably because he 0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:42.480 thinks he's got a good shot to play against the Redskins. 0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:45.280 So my point being, defense is only going to get better, 0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:49.240 and it's dominant already anyway, and they proved it again. 0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:52.600 So yeah, that really is what I come away from 0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:54.720 because I need to see more from the offense. The 0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:57.680 defense just keeps doing its thing. Amber you know, this 0:02:57.800 --> 0:03:01.200 isn't even the highlight of what the game was, but 0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:04.240 I was pretty happy to see Jordan Lewis on the 0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:07.919 field and making some place and reminding us what he's 0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:10.480 capable of. And he felt nice to be like, Okay, 0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:14.640 well I didn't just imagine that he could actually play. 0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:17.480 He actually made it, came out there and made a 0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:22.200 name of himself. Also, David Irving coming back again. It's 0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:25.839 very clear and evident why this team is putting up 0:03:25.880 --> 0:03:29.640 with what they've been putting up with. David Irving. He's 0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:32.320 an absolute beast and he showed it the moment he 0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:35.640 stepped on the field, pressured the quarterback, didn't get a sack, 0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:39.720 but man, he is a beast. So that's exciting to see. Man. 0:03:40.000 --> 0:03:42.360 We'll get into the offense in a little bit. Yeck, well, 0:03:42.400 --> 0:03:45.520 I mean it is the offense. I mean, no offense 0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:47.600 to you guys, But you guys aren't really surprised that 0:03:47.640 --> 0:03:49.800 the defense played well, you have to be surprised with 0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:52.160 forty points on the offense. I think that was the key. There. 0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:56.000 Doesn't matter what they're gonna do next week or whatever. 0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:58.760 The point is is that they went out played what 0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:01.080 was the number one defense league, which I don't know 0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:02.840 if they still are now. Yeah. He asked what I 0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:05.560 thought it meant in the big picture, which, yeah, absolutely, 0:04:05.680 --> 0:04:07.520 the offense was the story of the game, for sure, 0:04:07.560 --> 0:04:09.400 But I think it is the big picture because I 0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:12.960 think it shows you what they're capable of doing and 0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:15.360 that this offensive line is really where it started. It 0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:17.920 could get back to that type of football where they 0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:20.479 can kind of dictate things. Now. Jacksonville's defense is still 0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:22.800 pretty good because they had some issues in the red 0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:25.919 zone and all that stuff. But I thought they're finally 0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:28.599 showing that, you know, you don't have to have a 0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:31.679 pocket passer. You can play the game the way Cam 0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:34.359 Newton plays it. This is the type of game that 0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:36.680 Dat needs to play. He needs to play this type 0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:39.160 of game right here where he doesn't matter he throws it, 0:04:39.480 --> 0:04:42.080 he gets two hundred and sixty yards. That's a good 0:04:42.120 --> 0:04:44.480 offense right there. It doesn't matter how you're doing. It's 0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:46.920 about two hundred and sixty yards and three touchdowns. That's 0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:48.880 a good day. Yep. All right, So let's jump in. 0:04:49.000 --> 0:04:52.200 Let's talk some more specifics. Cowboys offense, which you started 0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:54.680 talking about, Nick. They scored on their first four possessions. 0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:56.680 They got out to a quick start, three touchdowns, one 0:04:56.720 --> 0:04:59.000 field goal. They had three hundred and seventy eight yards 0:04:59.000 --> 0:05:02.839 of total offense, forty points. They were seven or seventeen 0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:05.760 that's forty one percent on third downs, which is a 0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:08.719 really good number for them. Twenty three first downs in 0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:12.920 this game, four or five red zone efficiencies. That five 0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:15.200 of the times they were in side of twenty four 0:05:15.279 --> 0:05:19.080 those times they got touchdowns and time possession was completely 0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:21.599 on their side. Thirty eight minutes and fifty five seconds. 0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:24.600 Talking to me about the differences, what were the differences 0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:28.440 and what they did yesterday offensively from what they had done. 0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:30.960 I guess, really, if you look at the entirety of 0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:33.240 the season, what was so different yesterday allowed them to 0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:38.000 score so so quickly and to score consistently throughout the game. Well, 0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:40.160 I mean there's there's a lot of things you can 0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:44.040 you can start with. First of all, penalties. I mean, 0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:47.680 there's three penalties in the game overall, and that's how 0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:50.280 many usually are on offense. They were able to They 0:05:50.320 --> 0:05:52.720 weren't really behind the chains that much. They did a 0:05:52.800 --> 0:05:54.640 nice job and Beasley got open a lot. You know, 0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:58.560 they they found the mismatches there with Beasley. You know, 0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:01.360 as good as Jacksonville, they have weak spots. And those 0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:03.960 weak spots used to play for Dallas. And if you 0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:07.800 watch Tyler Patman was bad and Dad called him out 0:06:08.000 --> 0:06:11.280 and Barry Church was borderline horrible yesterday. How many times 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:14.000 did you see Barry Church whiffing on stuff. So you 0:06:14.600 --> 0:06:18.719 obways see the hand clappy they found the mismatches there. 0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:21.679 I mean stay away from Ramsey, which that was pretty 0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:23.719 awesome after the game, by the way, because that guy 0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:26.240 hadn't shut up in two years and he didn't he 0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:30.479 had nothing like what can you say? When you what 0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:32.040 are you going to say? I thought it was hilarious 0:06:32.120 --> 0:06:35.120 because before we got into the game last week, Yeah, 0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:37.880 you you made a comment about Ramsey. How oh you 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:40.400 know he talks to talk, but then he he still 0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:43.600 will talk if he plays bad and stuff and we'll 0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:46.680 stand up. I was very great. I love guys that 0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:50.000 don't shut up. I love trash talk. I admired even 0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:52.640 more when you back it up after it doesn't go 0:06:52.680 --> 0:06:55.359 your way and yeah, that's a that's a bad look. 0:06:55.800 --> 0:06:58.080 Well that was the theme of the whole day. A 0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:00.560 guy that actually had gotten his ass kicked in the 0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:03.680 last in the last month, but comes to town and 0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:05.960 it's like, oh my god, God showed up, you know, 0:07:06.080 --> 0:07:09.800 and Connor McGregor, Oh yeah, I was like, drop the presses, 0:07:09.800 --> 0:07:12.520 like Connor McGregor's here, you know, and and and he 0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:20.400 created this Oh my god, that was unbelievable. Seeing Jeff, 0:07:20.400 --> 0:07:23.520 I'm like, I might really seeing this Jeff doing that walk. 0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:25.560 I'm glad you brought that up, because that's guy. The 0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:27.720 thing that the thing that I thought made the biggest 0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:31.120 difference switch. This is easier said than done. They obviously 0:07:31.360 --> 0:07:34.800 they attacked like right off the bat. And more important 0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:37.000 than that, I thought they kept the Jags on their 0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:40.800 heels like they were. They were not predictable. Shocker. Uh. 0:07:40.840 --> 0:07:44.600 They what they ran the ball once on their opening possession. Uh. 0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:47.480 And no, I'm sorry they ran the ball twice and Zeke, 0:07:47.520 --> 0:07:51.440 but Zeke only got one carry. The other thing miss direction. 0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:55.480 You have a quarterback who can run, and it confuses 0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:58.400 defenses when you use him that way sometimes. Okay, let 0:07:58.440 --> 0:08:00.760 me throw this this at you though. And I started 0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:02.400 thinking about this last night because I was trying to 0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:05.880 figure out what the differences were, and I talked to 0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:07.640 Brian a little bit about this morning. Some of it 0:08:07.720 --> 0:08:09.840 he kind of saw as well. But when you think 0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:12.080 about it, from the way Jacksonville plays, this is a 0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:14.080 really good defense and I don't think anything that happened 0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:16.119 yesterday changes the fact that they're a really good defense. 0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:18.240 It has a lot of talent, But I think that 0:08:18.320 --> 0:08:21.679 the way that they played defense and the fact that 0:08:21.760 --> 0:08:25.400 they're probably so arrogant about how they played defense could 0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:28.200 have contributed to why the Cowboys had so much success, 0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:29.880 particularly in the first half, because really, if you go 0:08:29.880 --> 0:08:32.720 back and watch that game, by the second half, Cowboys 0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:34.960 offense wasn't moving the ball at will like they were 0:08:35.000 --> 0:08:37.120 in the first half. And there were two significant things. 0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:39.760 Number One, I think that the fact that they thought 0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:43.480 that Tyler Patman could handle in man coverage, could handle 0:08:43.520 --> 0:08:45.600 Cole Beasley, and they were arrogant about the fact that 0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:48.080 they stick with man coverage most of the time and 0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:50.400 they were okay with the idea of him covering him. 0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:52.440 That was a problem, and they acknowledged that by the 0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:55.800 second half when Aja Booyer started and Booya started, Karen 0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:59.360 started covering him in the second half. The other thing 0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:01.520 is the fact if they don't blitz, they only bring 0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:04.480 four guys pretty much the entire game. When you start 0:09:04.520 --> 0:09:07.800 talking misdirection and stuff like that. I think that's factors 0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:09.800 in just as much because we didn't see a lot 0:09:09.800 --> 0:09:12.280 of situations yesterday where if you're singing, sitting an extra 0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:14.880 guy a lot of times when that quarterback tries to 0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:17.240 boot out, there's a guy usually in his face because 0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:20.600 they've got more guys coming than just four. I think 0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:23.920 both of those two things factored into why the Cowboys 0:09:23.920 --> 0:09:26.320 were so successful in the first half and maybe not 0:09:26.400 --> 0:09:28.680 as much in the second half when they started to 0:09:28.679 --> 0:09:31.080 adjust a little bit. What you guess think, I absolutely 0:09:31.120 --> 0:09:33.959 think much like the Cowboys have done in the past, 0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:36.480 I think the Jags came in and said, are eleven. 0:09:36.520 --> 0:09:39.000 Are way better than you're eleven, and we can play 0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:41.320 the way we want to play. We talked about a 0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:44.000 little bit of it. To your point, I don't understand 0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:45.600 how you can look at this, and I'm happy they 0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:47.120 played it this way, but I don't understand how you 0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:49.360 can look at this Dallas receiving corps and not have 0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:51.880 it be part of your game plan that either Ramsey 0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:56.600 or Buoye is gonna follow Beasley wherever he goes, Like wet, 0:09:56.880 --> 0:09:58.880 we can't have him down in the slot with Beasley 0:09:58.920 --> 0:10:01.240 because we need him out here. Hearns who's got eighty 0:10:01.240 --> 0:10:03.760 four yards all year? Like really, that's the hill you 0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:07.400 want to die on? H thank thank thank you, Jaguars, 0:10:07.480 --> 0:10:10.200 Like I appreciate that, um, but they couldn't do it. 0:10:10.240 --> 0:10:13.120 And even more so than that, I think they they 0:10:13.160 --> 0:10:15.320 loaded up and said, you know, we got Telvin Smith 0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:17.280 and Miles Jack and we're gonna stop you from running 0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:19.240 it up the gut. And the Cowboys were like, okay, 0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:20.880 thank you very much. I'm gonna pull this and run 0:10:20.920 --> 0:10:23.719 it right around the left side for seventeen yards. And yeah, 0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:25.440 it looked like it took him some time to adjust 0:10:25.480 --> 0:10:28.640 to it, which it's kind of surprising. And Miles Jack 0:10:28.720 --> 0:10:31.040 to me, I mean as good as they are like 0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:34.079 in pass coverage, I mean, those guys are like big safeties, 0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:36.880 you know. In fact, my Miles Jack was a guy 0:10:36.920 --> 0:10:39.000 that they thought maybe was going to be a safety. 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:43.200 So when you could run at them, they are very fast, 0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:45.520 but they're not guys that I mean. I saw Rico 0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:47.960 Gathers and Telvin Smith going at it all all game 0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:50.080 like blocking was I thought Rico did a nice job 0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:53.559 on him, so yeah, I mean he's again it had 0:10:53.559 --> 0:10:57.720 another nice nice catch and um, you know it was 0:10:57.840 --> 0:11:00.760 it was just it was a dominated effort. And I 0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:02.960 think it starts with that offensive line. I really do 0:11:03.040 --> 0:11:05.960 think the Cowboys offensive line had had a really nice 0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:08.720 game and Zeke, you know ran the ball hard. I mean, 0:11:08.720 --> 0:11:11.880 it was just they just were one step ahead of 0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:14.040 them all over the place. You mean, when you want, 0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:16.880 when you want a team to do a complete game, 0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:19.480 you want them to run the ball well, receivers, get 0:11:19.520 --> 0:11:22.640 open quarterback, make plays on defense, fly to the ball, 0:11:22.720 --> 0:11:26.400 make turnovers, you know, get pressure, cover your guys, don't 0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:30.520 have penalties on special teams. And it was just probably 0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:33.839 just the most perfect game you could actually play. Yea. 0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:37.559 And credit to the play calling too, you know, the coaches. 0:11:37.600 --> 0:11:40.040 I think they did a really nice job, specially because 0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:43.800 we've seen far too often where certain plays that work, 0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:46.160 they'll just stop doing it, And this time, I mean 0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:49.120 they were able to keep it going and keep sending 0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:52.360 out making those right calls to that would work, especially 0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:57.679 with Dad, you know, running the ball, finding Cole Beasley. 0:11:57.760 --> 0:12:00.600 That's what I've been saying all year long. Why can't 0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:02.800 you just find coal? Which is hard to do when 0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:05.319 he's being covered and stuff. But a lot of times 0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:07.440 we've seeing how he is open and they haven't been 0:12:07.440 --> 0:12:10.280 able to utilize him well enough. And this time obviously 0:12:10.360 --> 0:12:14.079 worth and I think the energy was outstanding the fact 0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:16.600 that you could tell they were having fun on the field. 0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:19.960 That helps a lot. When you're averaging twelve yards per play. 0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:22.559 Football's a lot of fun. That's what Beasley said it 0:12:22.679 --> 0:12:24.520 like five times last night. He was like, this game 0:12:24.600 --> 0:12:27.240 is a lot more fun when you win, and you know, 0:12:27.280 --> 0:12:29.559 when you're part of the everything's clicking. I mean, that's 0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:32.160 the thing. It's it's rare in an NFL season when 0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:35.560 everything is clicking like like it was yesterday. That's fun 0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:38.440 when everything's clicking for your team. But most teams experienced 0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:40.320 it that. At the best, there are two or three 0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:42.640 games in a season where everything's clicking like that. It 0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:45.640 just it just makes me wonder. And all credit to 0:12:45.679 --> 0:12:48.160 the Cowboys, like they played great. They I mean they 0:12:48.160 --> 0:12:53.840 were basically flawless. But even okay, you saw a matchup 0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:56.240 you liked, and clearly they did, like they knew Beasley 0:12:56.320 --> 0:12:59.360 was going to eat on Patman because that said, Beasley 0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:01.360 knew from two day that he was going to have 0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:05.280 a chance to do this. Even still, even if you 0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:08.319 like that matchup, like, is that all it is? That 0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:10.920 you can do this against the best past defense in 0:13:10.920 --> 0:13:14.080 the NFL. But you know, the Houston Texans, who are 0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:17.280 are awful by any objective standard. I mean, twenty seventh 0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:20.079 in the league. Even if they're making a concerted effort, 0:13:20.120 --> 0:13:22.400 you still can't find ways to make it happen. I mean, 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:24.040 is it really that easy. It's just like, well, the 0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:27.559 matchup was more favorable, right. I do think in today's NFL, 0:13:27.880 --> 0:13:30.560 I think teams are a lot closer than everybody gives 0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:33.800 them credit for, which means that those slight differences is 0:13:33.840 --> 0:13:36.280 where you can sometimes find. And that's why I talked 0:13:36.320 --> 0:13:38.960 earlier about the arrogance of which, yeah, they do it, 0:13:39.000 --> 0:13:41.080 and the Cowboys the same way Gol was getting too, 0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:43.920 that mole of our eleven is better than you're eleven, 0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:47.000 and that arrogance can sometimes lead them to not take 0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:50.480 advantage of other opportunities or try to extend themselves beyond 0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:52.960 just what they think they do best. And I think 0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:55.280 that was clearly, in my opinion, that was clearly the 0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:58.040 Gate yesterday. It's it's and I really I'm not trying 0:13:58.040 --> 0:14:00.800 to take any credit away from Cole Beasley or Dak Prescott. 0:14:00.960 --> 0:14:04.360 They were both great, and I was happy for Cole 0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:06.240 that he kind of got the chance to shut some 0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:09.880 people up. But it's I mean, it's crazy to me that, 0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:14.760 like the Houston Texans can take away Cole Beasley just completely, 0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:17.440 and then like the Jags, the Mighty Jags, it's just 0:14:17.480 --> 0:14:19.520 like they didn't have an answer. Look at his numbers 0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:21.560 first half and second yeah, and it tells you all 0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:23.760 you need to know. Like in the first half, he 0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:26.200 was having his way on that field. By the second half, 0:14:26.520 --> 0:14:28.320 it all kind of screeched to a halt, like the 0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:30.760 offense just wasn't moving a lot, and the turnovers made 0:14:30.760 --> 0:14:32.520 a big difference, which when you get in that kind 0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:34.520 of game, the defense can create some of those turnovers 0:14:34.560 --> 0:14:36.920 for you. If that, and there's a lot more that 0:14:36.960 --> 0:14:39.120 goes into it. They ran the ball well, and I mean, 0:14:39.600 --> 0:14:42.920 da Dak until he proves that he is a more 0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:46.200 consistently good pocket passer, he needs to be carrying the 0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:48.560 ball like that every week. I think man eleven carries 0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:50.640 is a lot, but at least six, if not eight, 0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:53.160 You know that needs to be an element in this offense. 0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:56.640 I think, if you're gonna be balanced and successful. But 0:14:57.680 --> 0:14:59.960 we see how much better this thing looks when Cole 0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:02.480 easily is part of it, and you just, I mean, 0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:05.040 you gotta do more to get him involved, even if 0:15:05.040 --> 0:15:06.920 it's not always going to be that easy. Clearly, it 0:15:07.000 --> 0:15:09.720 just makes so much difference. Let's take our first break. 0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:11.280 When we come back, I do want to talk about 0:15:11.880 --> 0:15:13.640 the Jacksonville I'm sorry. I want to talk about the 0:15:13.640 --> 0:15:16.560 offensive line for the Cowboys, how they performed yesterday, and 0:15:16.560 --> 0:15:19.160 then we'll get into the Cowboys defense.

Back to the Break, Welcome back. It is 0:17:22.200 --> 0:17:24.320 the second second of the Break live for the SWBC 0:17:24.480 --> 0:17:26.920 Mortgage studios. At the start, we're talking about the Cowboys 0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:31.520 big win yesterday, forty to seven. They blasted Jacksonville Jaguars. 0:17:31.840 --> 0:17:34.160 It was their first win like that in a very, 0:17:34.240 --> 0:17:36.440 very long time. We're breaking it down for you guys. 0:17:36.520 --> 0:17:39.119 Let's talk now about this offensive line. I made the 0:17:39.119 --> 0:17:41.680 point last week that I believe that the offensive line 0:17:41.760 --> 0:17:44.480 was part of a big part of the reason why 0:17:44.520 --> 0:17:48.560 this team had not been as successful early in the year. Yesterday, 0:17:48.880 --> 0:17:51.080 I think they did a lot to kind of go 0:17:51.160 --> 0:17:54.160 the opposite way. They were pretty good most of the game. 0:17:54.200 --> 0:17:56.520 I still think they had some areas where it wasn't 0:17:56.560 --> 0:17:59.040 quite the same. I'm still a little bit concerned about 0:17:59.040 --> 0:18:01.960 Tyren Smith we're all just he's not as dominant as 0:18:01.960 --> 0:18:04.960 he once was in my opinion. But all that being said, 0:18:05.040 --> 0:18:08.320 I think they did far more than necessary yesterday to 0:18:08.359 --> 0:18:10.159 get a win. They were, they were pretty dominant. What 0:18:10.160 --> 0:18:12.919 do you guys think? I thought Tyrn Smith had a 0:18:12.920 --> 0:18:16.359 good game. Um, you know, I'm the other guy over there. 0:18:16.400 --> 0:18:19.160 I don't know ninety one. He's a good player. I mean, 0:18:19.480 --> 0:18:21.760 I don't even know how to pronounce his name. Jannick 0:18:21.880 --> 0:18:26.120 and Gagway. He's a pro bowler and he plays like one. 0:18:26.160 --> 0:18:28.320 And I mean it was it was a tough battle there. 0:18:28.359 --> 0:18:30.280 But but I mean for the most part, I mean 0:18:30.320 --> 0:18:34.080 that that offensive, that defense up front for Jacksonville. You're 0:18:34.119 --> 0:18:36.720 not gonna face a front better than that. So for 0:18:36.800 --> 0:18:40.399 Connor Klai Campbell was pretty quiet. Most yeah, I mean 0:18:40.480 --> 0:18:42.840 the league. I mean, I I we're doing a top 0:18:42.880 --> 0:18:45.400 ten list of of performers that played in the game. 0:18:45.400 --> 0:18:47.720 What would do every Monday. I don't know what Brian 0:18:47.760 --> 0:18:50.440 and Rob will vote, but I know that that Dave 0:18:50.480 --> 0:18:54.240 and I put um Lyle Collins on there. I thought 0:18:54.320 --> 0:18:57.880 Lyle had a really really nice game, and Connor Williams obviously, 0:18:57.960 --> 0:19:01.120 I mean they did a good job. You seen holding penalties. 0:19:01.160 --> 0:19:03.480 Really was there a holding? Lyle had a block in 0:19:03.520 --> 0:19:06.719 the back which on Fairy Church, which was not necessary. 0:19:07.760 --> 0:19:11.000 The play was pretty much done anyway. But but just 0:19:11.320 --> 0:19:13.000 I thought the offensive line that was as good as 0:19:13.040 --> 0:19:16.480 game as they've played. And I think I don't know 0:19:16.480 --> 0:19:19.720 if they'll face a defensive front seven that's better than that. 0:19:19.920 --> 0:19:22.359
