Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club Cowboys. This he's Talking Cowboys,
Speaker 1: Screaming live from the Dallas Cowboys World Hours at the
Speaker 1: Star in Frisco. And now your hosts Iaiah stand Battle,
Speaker 1: Patrick Walker, and Kyle Yeomans. It is a wonderful Wednesday
Speaker 1: edition of Talking Cowboys from the SWBC studios at the
Speaker 1: Star and Frisco, presented by Black Rifle Coffee Company, the
Speaker 1: official coffee of the Dallas Cowboys. Today we preview the
Speaker 1: Dallas defense going up against the Houston Texans offense. It's
Speaker 1: a lone star state battle. And we turned the page
Speaker 1: from the Cowboys win over Indianapolis and now we turn
Speaker 1: our attention to Week fourteen of the NFL season. Chris
Speaker 1: Beam running it all in the back. We've got Isaiah
Speaker 1: stand back, Patrick Nose walk around, Kyle Yeomen's. Gentlemen, how
Speaker 1: are we doing fantastic? It's good man, Yeah good? Got
Speaker 1: a pen in your mouth and you say, like the
Speaker 1: uncle reco hard Uncle yeah good. It's like a stylist.
Speaker 1: That's not even a pen. Well, I mean your your
Speaker 1: next level, your only technology form of technology it's at
Speaker 1: an Apple. You're still definitely not as cables. So what hey,
Speaker 1: let's hear you're still composit must quality? Sound is uncomposite.
Speaker 1: Do you actually have any kind of composite stuff sound
Speaker 1: in your's ran? In my house? I have an old house, Kyle,
Speaker 1: I don't have whatever you have a game house I
Speaker 1: had when I got drafted here in down. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: it's got every upgrade in the possible boat, because there's
Speaker 1: a certain point of no return to see when you
Speaker 1: do so many upgrades, you actually out price point the
Speaker 1: surrounding stoppage. Okay, here's the thing. I know what the
Speaker 1: answer to question is compositive? Would when when you are
Speaker 1: grilling in the back patio, is there a TV out there? Yeah? Boom,
Speaker 1: there's that. It's old? Is the grill? Is it is
Speaker 1: the grill? You are you? Are you charcoal? Are you
Speaker 1: pro paying? Are you working off of that electric? You
Speaker 1: got some wood pellets out there, charcoal in wood pellets grills?
Speaker 1: But is it does your does your grill plug in
Speaker 1: one of them? Yeah? Stop it. But I found it
Speaker 1: on Facebook. Found it you as my wife. I found
Speaker 1: it on Facebook Marketplace. I drove about forty five minutes
Speaker 1: away because somebody was selling a brand new pellet grill
Speaker 1: for like one hundred and fifty dollars. I am a
Speaker 1: deal seeker, cop. Sure, I disagree with that, but I
Speaker 1: also know you ain't rocking composite cables in your house.
Speaker 1: That's not happening from when when the house was first built.
Speaker 1: Not buying that. I want to. I want to see
Speaker 1: a picture of it. I will so you can find
Speaker 1: me plugged in and working. I need us hoping that
Speaker 1: you watched door last night. It was good picture quality.
Speaker 1: It's the best laser day. Hey, listen, if we want
Speaker 1: to go ahead and create this go fund me page,
Speaker 1: everybody can go ahead and upgrade if you like to know.
Speaker 1: If anybody needs to go fund me page, it is
Speaker 1: not that side of the table to invert the donations. Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: thank you. All right, let's take a look at some
Speaker 1: news and notes for the Cowboys. A couple moves yesterday,
Speaker 1: including some corners coming in and working out. At least
Speaker 1: that was the report put out there yesterday. Now, I
Speaker 1: do want to talk about ab here in a little bit.
Speaker 1: That's where what's where we're going to start with this
Speaker 1: whole thing is replacing a B and how much yes,
Speaker 1: that is going to hurt this Dallas Cowboys defense. And
Speaker 1: then also to mention where did they go from here?
Speaker 1: What type of strengths and what type of weaknesses? Do
Speaker 1: Both nashun Wright and Kelvin Joseph bring you the table,
Speaker 1: but let's start with news and notes. What you got packed? Well,
Speaker 1: we have a signing, well an expected signing, not official
Speaker 1: quite yet, but it should be made official to date.
Speaker 1: So for those that were saying, you know, well the
Speaker 1: Cowboys were in their two day meeting with the Odell
Speaker 1: Belham Junior, Oh, they should have been going after a dB.
Speaker 1: Well they did okay because they can walk and chew
Speaker 1: gum at the same time. So they worked out both
Speaker 1: McKinsey Alexander and Torry Mitt Tyler. I'm sorry, mctire, let
Speaker 1: me make sure get his name correct on yesterday and
Speaker 1: McKinsey Alexander. It should be a familiar name for those
Speaker 1: who follow the NFL quite frequently and quite passionately. Former
Speaker 1: fourth round pick, he is expected to win out between
Speaker 1: those two work out. So McKinsey Alexander is expected to
Speaker 1: be signed to the Cowboys practice squad, probably as early
Speaker 1: as today. So that they can get him into practice.
Speaker 1: Cowboys obviously are back to practice to start preparation for
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans. That will provide some defensive back depth,
Speaker 1: specifically cornerback depth in the absence due to the loss
Speaker 1: I should say of Anthony Brown. That means Kendall Sheffield,
Speaker 1: who is already on the practice squad, will likely either
Speaker 1: be elevated this week or he might be added to
Speaker 1: the active roster. Cowboys do have a roster spot available
Speaker 1: when they move Anthony Brown to IR. They still have
Speaker 1: that free spot available from the release on waving of
Speaker 1: Terrell Basham as well, so got some leeway there. And
Speaker 1: today will mark the beginning of the twenty one day
Speaker 1: practice window for one to Ron Smith, the guy who
Speaker 1: potential future Hall of Fame left tackle that will play
Speaker 1: next to Tyler Smith when Tyler gets moved to left guard.
Speaker 1: Ain't that right? No? No, so And the Cap News
Speaker 1: and notes. I spoke quickly about OBJ two day meeting
Speaker 1: on yesterday concluded around on four thirty five pm Central time.
Speaker 1: OBJ headed out. No deal was struck, No deal as imminent.
Speaker 1: Cowboys have some concerns. Like we said yesterday, Cowboys have
Speaker 1: some very real concerns about the medical part of it.
Speaker 1: They don't feel that he will be available not only
Speaker 1: for the regular season, but there's a huge question mark
Speaker 1: and if you'll even be available in the postseason. So,
Speaker 1: like I said on yesterday's episode of Talking Cowboys, the
Speaker 1: conversation likely turned to a twenty twenty three one, and
Speaker 1: that's that's not necessarily what Jerry Jones is looking for.
Speaker 1: He wants this year to be the year. So OBJ
Speaker 1: which is a player that he Jerry Jones labeled as
Speaker 1: an additive to this offense, which I completely agree with,
Speaker 1: if that additive isn't ready for the postseason. In Jerry
Speaker 1: Jones's eyes, he's saying, well, I don't know what are
Speaker 1: we doing here. So guys, it's okay. I've got a
Speaker 1: replacement for Odell Beckham Jr. That's on the free agent market,
Speaker 1: or at least he's on waivers today. Jalen Darden, former
Speaker 1: North Texas wide receiver. I saw your I saw you
Speaker 1: at baby, bring him home. Come on. If for those
Speaker 1: of you that watched a draft show, they know that
Speaker 1: I was super high on Jayalen Darden. He was the
Speaker 1: first North Texas player drafted since like two thousand and three,
Speaker 1: and he's drafted last year in twenty twenty one. So
Speaker 1: uh yeah, I would love for ja Jaylen Darden to
Speaker 1: come back. If you actually think I'm serious on comparing
Speaker 1: Jayalen Darden to Odell Beckham junior, shame on you. I'm
Speaker 1: just a North Texas guy and I wanted my guy
Speaker 1: to come play for the Cowboys. I saw that yesterday
Speaker 1: when I was over in the skalging apartment that when
Speaker 1: the reports came out and I went merely came over
Speaker 1: to your desk and you were not I know I was.
Speaker 1: I was on my way at a basketball game last night.
Speaker 1: I will say, you've got connections in the front office.
Speaker 1: I need you to go over to that side of
Speaker 1: the building. Beam's got a lot of pool here. If
Speaker 1: you don't know that you're listening to Talking Cowboys, the
Speaker 1: big the guy with the most pull in this entire
Speaker 1: show isn't the guys on the mics and here, it's
Speaker 1: the guy running the show in the back right there,
Speaker 1: and that's Chris Beams. So Beam, I need you to
Speaker 1: go over there, and I need you to tell him
Speaker 1: to sign Jayalen Darden for me. Okay, thanks, appreciate your
Speaker 1: quick point of correction because I'm still waking up. Okay,
Speaker 1: second round pick McKenzie Alexander's second round pick of the
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings, and just glanced over at the steps stats
Speaker 1: just to see how many NFL starts he has, because
Speaker 1: obviously he was a starter for the Vikings for several
Speaker 1: years twenty five total. He was more more so rotational
Speaker 1: guy for them over the first three seasons or so,
Speaker 1: but he logged ten starts just a couple of seasons
Speaker 1: ago in twenty twenty for Cincinnati before heading back to
Speaker 1: Minnesota for a quick extent. Now he's here with the
Speaker 1: Cowboys and I don't see dartin claring Waivers. Yeah I
Speaker 1: don't either, but you know the shot. You know what
Speaker 1: this also does a boy? This Cowboys defense does little
Speaker 1: their reunions. This is a reunion with George Atwards, who
Speaker 1: was the defensive coordinator for the Minnesota Vikings when McKinsey
Speaker 1: Alexander was up there. Oh yeah, yeah, that's a good point.
Speaker 1: He was gone right around the same time Edwards came here,
Speaker 1: because in twenty twenty, Alexander signed with the Bengals on
Speaker 1: a one year deal and then in the middle of
Speaker 1: that he had some off the field kerfuffles as well.
Speaker 1: I think there was like a felony battery charge, but
Speaker 1: then it was dropped and it was some them with
Speaker 1: his father that was going on in there too, But
Speaker 1: I think all of that has kind of water under
Speaker 1: the bridge at the moment. But with him, he went
Speaker 1: to Cincinnati the same year that George Edwards arrived in Dallas,
Speaker 1: so they both departed at the same time. So that
Speaker 1: is that's a nice little reunion, so open to keep
Speaker 1: in mind. Kendall Sheffield to Dan quinn as McKinney, Alexander
Speaker 1: Is to Georgia Ward's interesting. Now I want to shift
Speaker 1: the conversation to cornerbacks. Still keeping with those guys, but
Speaker 1: I want to talk about the guy who's not here anymore,
Speaker 1: Anthony Brown. He's gotten a lot of flat cut a
Speaker 1: lot of flat over the last couple of years just
Speaker 1: for inconsistency, but he continues to play at a high
Speaker 1: level even with some of those consistencies. He's still the starter.
Speaker 1: He's still the guy. He's going to continue to get
Speaker 1: better and better, and you've seen that throughout the years.
Speaker 1: He's out for the season now. Torn Achilles suffered in
Speaker 1: that Week thirteen matchup with the Indianapolis Colts. Isaiah, First off,
Speaker 1: how big of a loss is this for that that
Speaker 1: defensive side of the football because Ab not being in
Speaker 1: the fold, not only does it shift your rotation, but
Speaker 1: it finds it. Really it's tough for a young group
Speaker 1: of corners to step up mid season, right. It's not
Speaker 1: what you want at this time of the year. It's
Speaker 1: not what you want period, but especially at this time
Speaker 1: of the year because now you're asking guys to try
Speaker 1: to get game ready and to have impact over a
Speaker 1: handful of games in preparation for the most important part
Speaker 1: of the year season and it sucks for Ab. You
Speaker 1: can see the distress on his face. You can see
Speaker 1: the pain, the loss, the frustration, everything that goes along
Speaker 1: with having a you know, a substantial injury, which the
Speaker 1: achilles is a substantial injury, especially for their cornerback. I
Speaker 1: know Bury Church and myself both are torn our achilles
Speaker 1: at very important times in our career. I think actually
Speaker 1: we both of us did a contract year and it sucks.
Speaker 1: What's doing right now exactly right? So we can relate,
Speaker 1: we understand, and he'll get back healthy. It will affect
Speaker 1: his money. It will affect, you know, his mindset and
Speaker 1: everything else going forward, But he will have an opportunity
Speaker 1: to come back bigger, fashion, stronger, all that jazz. That's
Speaker 1: not going to mess up his future in that regard,
Speaker 1: but financially, it's gonna hurt him in right now in
Speaker 1: the interim, Fred, the Dallas Cowboys, these young guys Nas,
Speaker 1: Shawn's got to step up, Calvin's got to step up.
Speaker 1: It's Kelvin. Joseph's obviously had more reps on the field
Speaker 1: at the special team spot, and now he's gonna to
Speaker 1: convert it over to the cornerback position. Now what how
Speaker 1: is that going to affect the roster because now somebody
Speaker 1: else is gonna have to take those special teams reps
Speaker 1: because he's not gonna be able to do so without
Speaker 1: being fatigued to play his actual cornerback position. It's a lot, man,
Speaker 1: and these guys don't have the reps. These guys are
Speaker 1: not experienced. This is a compounding problem now because now
Speaker 1: two of your three starting cornerbacks are now done for
Speaker 1: the year. Yep, Jordan Lewis Anthony Brown both out both outs.
Speaker 1: So now you're asking Trayvon Diggs to do what he does,
Speaker 1: and now you're asking a darn bland to keep playing
Speaker 1: how he's been playing since camp. He's only had one
Speaker 1: bad outing and Kelvin Joseph Nation Right, Hey, fellas, we
Speaker 1: know you don't have a lot of reps, but step
Speaker 1: up and get after it. And there's a good This
Speaker 1: is a good run up teams to warm up against
Speaker 1: because it's not really received heavy teams that were rather
Speaker 1: to be facing here until until Philadelphia shows up on
Speaker 1: Christmas Eve. The thing about Anthony Brown is sure there
Speaker 1: are some holes in his game every once in a while,
Speaker 1: but he's proven that he can be a player that
Speaker 1: changes the game for the better for the Cowboys, be
Speaker 1: with an interception or with you know, a timely pass breakup.
Speaker 1: I mean there are times, on more than one occasion. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, you can point out the goal route from
Speaker 1: Christian Watson that kind of helped springboard Christian Watson in
Speaker 1: that game, and you're absolutely fair in doing so. That's
Speaker 1: just the science of it. You gotta take the good
Speaker 1: with the bad. But there were also instances where I
Speaker 1: saw Anthony Brown on a PBu on a fade route,
Speaker 1: laying out going full horizontal to prevent it in you know,
Speaker 1: the back corner of the end zone on at least
Speaker 1: a couple of occasions this season. So those are the
Speaker 1: kind of plays that you're gonna lose when you lose
Speaker 1: Anthony Brown. And like you said, I risk you can
Speaker 1: that Kelvin Joseph can take that step. I think we've
Speaker 1: already seen that the Ron Bland has the ability to
Speaker 1: be a starter in this league. Still a rookie though,
Speaker 1: But I love when I talk to him. He said
Speaker 1: that he prepares as a veteran. He said, that's what
Speaker 1: the Cowboys need from him, not a rookie, They need
Speaker 1: a veteran. So I think he's going to continue to
Speaker 1: be good. But to think that he's going to get
Speaker 1: an interception or two interceptions every game is not going
Speaker 1: to happen because he is, in fact still a rookie.
Speaker 1: So he has some things to learn. He's gonna have
Speaker 1: some hiccups. But I'm very confident in Bland. We have
Speaker 1: been as a panel since training camp. He's transferred over fantastic.
Speaker 1: But you know the Kelvin Joseph versus Nashan, right, which
Speaker 1: is you know someone that I rs is big on
Speaker 1: and I'm big on as well. If you go back
Speaker 1: and look at some of the conversations that we had
Speaker 1: on the podcast in training camp with myself, Nick Eatman,
Speaker 1: Derek Eagleton, you know, I see the upside on n
Speaker 1: Shan right. I don't think that he's got enough game
Speaker 1: reps to be able to show it to develop, but
Speaker 1: he's about to and now we're about to see which
Speaker 1: side of the tracks he falls on. And then again
Speaker 1: we got Kendall Sheffield Hill reunion with dan Quinn. Um
Speaker 1: he's a starter. He's been a starter in the league
Speaker 1: for dan Quinn. So as insurance goes, now you have McKinsey, Alexander,
Speaker 1: Kendall Sheffield. Those are your two veteran guys. In the
Speaker 1: event that you're two younger guys. Nashwan Right, Kelvin Joseph
Speaker 1: don't necessarily take the leap that you would like to
Speaker 1: see or the leap that the Ron Bland is already taken.
Speaker 1: So is this what what you want to add? And
Speaker 1: you're I love Nashan right, and I want to see
Speaker 1: him get more reps. Can you know I've been I've
Speaker 1: been a na shann Right guy and you know I
Speaker 1: haven't been Yeah, I know you. I like Nashan as
Speaker 1: a guy. I just I don't see it. I don't
Speaker 1: see it. I had him as a four hundred and
Speaker 1: fiftieth rank prospect in the twenty one Drive for a reason.
Speaker 1: I get it. I want to see him have the
Speaker 1: opportunity to developing and will have opportunity to see what
Speaker 1: he can do. But I like his intangibles. I like
Speaker 1: his um, the assets that he brings into the potential
Speaker 1: from what I've seen, Like he said, this is this
Speaker 1: is the first of two games that you know, as
Speaker 1: far as timing goes, you hate to no matter what
Speaker 1: part of the season is. You hate to lose a
Speaker 1: guy like you know, if you're going to lose him,
Speaker 1: lose him as you prepare for Davis Mills, all right,
Speaker 1: you're not You're not going up against Aaron Rodgers, in correct,
Speaker 1: So Joe Burrow, you know, and your break glass don't
Speaker 1: forget your break glass scenario. Obviously you have the guys
Speaker 1: on on practice squad, but your break glasses Israel mccon.
Speaker 1: That's that's true because he played corner in college. He's
Speaker 1: playing safety for the most part in the NFL snap counts.
Speaker 1: I mean, you always like looking at snap counts in
Speaker 1: terms of usage and rotation, Anthony Brown four hundred and
Speaker 1: thirty snaps in coverage alone, seven hundred and thirty total.
Speaker 1: Jordan Lewis had six games, he had three hundred and
Speaker 1: fifteen total snaps. Durron Bland is still underneath that at
Speaker 1: three thirteen and he played in eight games. And the
Speaker 1: reason I didn't say d n Bland a moment ago
Speaker 1: is in terms of replacing Anthony Brown, it's because I
Speaker 1: partially see him as the already replacement for Jordan Lewis.
Speaker 1: He's been in the rotation, he's been playing, there's a
Speaker 1: reason why he's seeing the majority of the snaps. He'll
Speaker 1: continue to be out there. My question is who gets
Speaker 1: the majority of the snap count out of Kelvin, Joseph, Kendall,
Speaker 1: chelf Sheffield thrown into the fold there too, and then
Speaker 1: like you mentioned Nashan Right, it'll be Kilvin Joseph first.
Speaker 1: That's what I thought too. So what with that being said,
Speaker 1: is this maker break for those two guys in Kelvin
Speaker 1: Joseph and Nashan Right. This is the best opportunity they've
Speaker 1: had to this point in their season, or at this
Speaker 1: point in their career to show what they can do
Speaker 1: as a starting corner or as a rotational corner in
Speaker 1: the case of Nashan, Right, if they don't, if they
Speaker 1: don't show up here, where do they show up their
Speaker 1: preseason evaluation? This is it? Yeah, I think it's um.
Speaker 1: It's more of a now never for Nashan than it
Speaker 1: is for Kelvin, because although Kelvin for whatever reason, has
Speaker 1: become a penalty magnet, he's also shown that he can
Speaker 1: be a very impactful special teams guy. So unfortunately, you
Speaker 1: haven't seen the middle ground between he he's either getting
Speaker 1: penalized or he's making a big tackle as a gun
Speaker 1: on special teams. But he's going to get a little
Speaker 1: bit of grace because he's the former second round pick
Speaker 1: and this is only his second year in dan quinn
Speaker 1: system or with the Cowboys period. Now, Nashean Right, slightly
Speaker 1: different situation, doesn't have nearly as much grace as far
Speaker 1: as the draft status is concerned. And for whatever reason,
Speaker 1: and I'm not going to say for whatever reason, there
Speaker 1: seems to be a reason that dan Quinn and Al
Speaker 1: Harris haven't really given him the rep shit over Kelvin
Speaker 1: Joseph In preparation for this particular momentum. So I feel
Speaker 1: like to answer that question, I think Kevin Joseph will
Speaker 1: get a little bit more grace unless he completely bombs
Speaker 1: as a cornerback. But Nashan, right, he's really really gonna
Speaker 1: have to step up and make sure that he shows
Speaker 1: something so he can remain on the roster next year.
Speaker 1: Do you agree with the kind of that that break
Speaker 1: up in terms of how this rotation is going to
Speaker 1: go and where the pressure lies on these guys? Yep,
Speaker 1: this is when you get slotted. This is the draft slot.
Speaker 1: It's just the reality. Yeah, you get more opportunity and
Speaker 1: your health to a higher Still, right, it is still
Speaker 1: a top one hundred pack. I mean, let's not sneeze
Speaker 1: like Kelvin Joseph is going to get the first opportunities
Speaker 1: because of where he was drafted. Kelvin Joseph was going
Speaker 1: to get the first opportunities and special teams because where
Speaker 1: he's drafted, and they're going to give him the first
Speaker 1: ride of refusal to go out here and make some plays. Now,
Speaker 1: if he doesn't do so, then obviously they will judge
Speaker 1: him accordingly based off of that. But he's gonna get
Speaker 1: those first opportunities, but he does with it. We'll see
Speaker 1: bottom line and we'll get to this in the off season. UM,
Speaker 1: you know, after the Cowboys finished playing in February. UM,
Speaker 1: cornerback is Cornerback is probably the biggest position of d
Speaker 1: now because on the Anthony Brown front, Isaiah makes a
Speaker 1: very valid point, whether you like it or not, this
Speaker 1: is a business and this is going to be This
Speaker 1: injury goes into the conversation. Now. Obviously Anthony Brown is
Speaker 1: very loved within the organization, so I could I definitely
Speaker 1: see him coming back, but it will probably go to
Speaker 1: a one year prove It makes let me, you know,
Speaker 1: show me that year. Yeah, I because even when he
Speaker 1: does get back healthy, it will be to Julian exactly.
Speaker 1: So he's going to start on pup. It's got months.
Speaker 1: He's gonna start on pup. From your achilles was it
Speaker 1: a complete tear? Oh? Yeah, upture? Okay, so that's where
Speaker 1: he's at. My condiction after the news came out after
Speaker 1: the game was that he's going to miss training camp
Speaker 1: and the preseason, and yeah, you shouldn't miss training camp.
Speaker 1: I think he missed his training camp. I think he
Speaker 1: starts in pup. Well, none of us are doctors, so
Speaker 1: we're not gonna argue about it. Unus. We don't know
Speaker 1: that we yea and from right. That's that's from my
Speaker 1: personal experience. I had a complete rupture of my achilles.
Speaker 1: They had to go up, pull it down from my calf,
Speaker 1: reattach it, double loop it. However, the rst and Jackson
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff like, that's what I had
Speaker 1: to do too. However, my sliced cornerback is going to
Speaker 1: be a position of need. Yeah, Kelvin, Joseph and the
Speaker 1: Sean Wright have a premo opportunity right now to convince
Speaker 1: the Cowboys it's not as much of a need as
Speaker 1: they might otherwise suspect. So yeah, premium opportunity right now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is the best chance they've had throughout their entire
Speaker 1: career and might have. And you're right, maybe ever have
Speaker 1: to make a statement in that Cowboys secondary. You know
Speaker 1: he's been making statements though. That Cowboys front seven, that
Speaker 1: defensive line, the run defense has been getting better. You
Speaker 1: could see the improvement over the last three weeks. They
Speaker 1: are not giving up chunk yardage at the same rate
Speaker 1: that they did previously. Still, maybe some holes to fix,
Speaker 1: something to kind of patch up a little bit. But
Speaker 1: for the most part it has been solid. However, this
Speaker 1: week they've got another test. Damian Pierce, the hottest rookie
Speaker 1: running back in the league. Right now, come into town.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about the Texans offense and the challenges they
Speaker 1: present when we come back on talking Cowboys. When you build,

Speaker 1: heard a little Bertie tell me yesterday, Isaiah, Bertie too.
Speaker 1: Do you hear that Bertie? You hear it chirping a
Speaker 1: little bit. It's not official yet, but we're not about
Speaker 1: being official in here. We're about giving you the inside
Speaker 1: scoop tea. You're on Talking Cowboys, give you the tea.
Speaker 1: Apparently they liked us being out at the stadium so much.
Speaker 1: What good chance, good chance, we could be doing our
Speaker 1: show from out there on Christmas Eve for the Cowboys
Speaker 1: and the Eagles. Yes, good doing, doing a little Cowboys
Speaker 1: pregame live deal again. Maybe maybe that time we'll see
Speaker 1: a Talking Cowboys sign. We may also that reminds me
Speaker 1: I've got to do a holiday read here. Give the
Speaker 1: gift of the Cowboys this holiday season with the Dallas
Speaker 1: Cowboys United Membership. Gift your super fan an annual fan
Speaker 1: club membership and a fan pack for as little as
Speaker 1: twenty dollars. Tis the season. Learn more at Dallas Cowboys
Speaker 1: dot com slash United. All Right, Damian Pearson Company, Houston
Speaker 1: Texans come rumbling into town, and I know Davis Mills
Speaker 1: was the quarterback name thrown out there, but of course
Speaker 1: Kyle Allen has also been starting for Houston the last
Speaker 1: couple of games, and it's been a back and forth.
Speaker 1: We still don't know who's necessarily starting right or have
Speaker 1: they named the starter yet? If they have, it doesn't
Speaker 1: matter who the starter is, well, then tell me about
Speaker 1: what that offense brings to the table. Nothing at all,
Speaker 1: not even a running back. Already have a heck of
Speaker 1: a running back, Daven Fears out of Florida or the
Speaker 1: Rickie eight hundred and sixty plus yards this year. He
Speaker 1: is a complete dog. We face the best that this
Speaker 1: league has an offer almost the best with the more
Speaker 1: guy coming. But the Dallas Cowboys defense has faced everything
Speaker 1: except for the freaking juggernaut that is you know, Henry
Speaker 1: this year, and they now know how to handle offenses
Speaker 1: that feature backs. They know how to handle offenses are
Speaker 1: run first offenses. There's no question that the Houston Texans
Speaker 1: are not a good football team. But this dude is
Speaker 1: a really good player. And much like I always said,
Speaker 1: you better approach every game like it's a dog on
Speaker 1: Super Bowl and handle it the right way. You need
Speaker 1: to make sure that you hit this dude in his mouth,
Speaker 1: because he's going to hit you in the mouth. So
Speaker 1: but if Mike Tyson say, everybody got a plan to
Speaker 1: get a punch in the mouth, so you better make
Speaker 1: sure that you get your your your your two uh
Speaker 1: your two biscuits in first basic Bob. Yeah, he's gonna
Speaker 1: come at you for sure. And you're right. And the
Speaker 1: thing is for the Cowboys, you you have to now
Speaker 1: love the confidence they have um as a run d
Speaker 1: versus what it was a month ago. Uh, you know,
Speaker 1: coming off of that two hundred plus yard game in
Speaker 1: a in a collapse in Green Bay. They fixed it.
Speaker 1: Delvin Cook, say Kwan Barkley and now Jonathan Taylor and
Speaker 1: for those that were you know, waiting for Jonathan Hankins
Speaker 1: to kind of really get his legs in the dan
Speaker 1: Quinn system. Well, you saw it against Jonathan Taylor. He
Speaker 1: had four tackles on four of his five tackles were
Speaker 1: on Taylor, one was for one was a tackle for
Speaker 1: a loss. And Taylor versus Jonathan hank in that A
Speaker 1: and B gap averaged only one and a half yards
Speaker 1: per carry there now where you want to go, only
Speaker 1: one and a half yards per carry for Jonathan Taylor
Speaker 1: going up against Jonathan Hankins. Hankins has already shown his
Speaker 1: value and he's gonna have to show it again here
Speaker 1: against against this young man, because this young man can
Speaker 1: do he can get it going, he can get it going,
Speaker 1: and he's one of only two. And I don't say
Speaker 1: this to not respect any of the other players, because again,
Speaker 1: if you're in the NFL, you're one of the best
Speaker 1: in the world, period. But as far as the Cowboys
Speaker 1: defense is concerned, they really only have to concern themselves
Speaker 1: with Pierce and Brandon Cooks. And obviously a speed of
Speaker 1: Cooks which isn't the same speed as it was, you know,
Speaker 1: two three years ago, but he can still get in
Speaker 1: that gear, he can still get in that gear. For me,
Speaker 1: it's Digs Cooks and then the rest is, you know,
Speaker 1: can Kelvin, Joseph and Nashan Wright and that conglomerate of cornerbacks,
Speaker 1: the cowboys trying to figure out what are they going
Speaker 1: to do against Akins and some of these other guys,
Speaker 1: Nico Collins for example. So that's really where, you know,
Speaker 1: kind of trickles down. But here we are yet another week,
Speaker 1: and the science is the science cowboys stop the running
Speaker 1: back who is a dynamic running back, and the risk
Speaker 1: will fall into place because Davids Mills just he's not it.
Speaker 1: Do you would you agree that this guy, in my opinion,
Speaker 1: is one of the top three violent running backs. He
Speaker 1: chooses violence. Yeah, the daily basis, that's kind of violent runner.
Speaker 1: That's what he was coming out of Florida too, I mean,
Speaker 1: and that was the guy wants you to come try
Speaker 1: like he like he you is marshawn Ish. Yeah. It
Speaker 1: reminds me of Marshaw. Don't compare the time, comparing it too.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about there. There's there's the decisions for violence,
Speaker 1: there's features in his running. The first guy typically isn't
Speaker 1: going to be going to get him down, getting just
Speaker 1: because you're grabbing his ankle doesn't mean that he's just
Speaker 1: got to submit and go to the ground like he
Speaker 1: will sled drive you with one leg if he has to,
Speaker 1: like he like. That's the type of that's the type
Speaker 1: of urgency that this guy has. So I have a
Speaker 1: high regard for him his approach to the game because
Speaker 1: he brings that physicality back to the game of football
Speaker 1: and absolutely love it. You want to you want to
Speaker 1: hear my draft scouting report here here, This is what
Speaker 1: it was. This is the pro that I had a
Speaker 1: walking highlight reel on his film. Balanced and physical, with
Speaker 1: the lateral ability to navigate behind the line of scrimmage.
Speaker 1: He has the ability to change direction quickly and makes
Speaker 1: him extremely tough to bring down. A lot of that
Speaker 1: because of his physicality. Not the explosion. This is the
Speaker 1: con not the explosion you'd expect from a guy with
Speaker 1: his build into the draft class with a big question
Speaker 1: mark over his production. Never had more than five hundred
Speaker 1: and seventy five yards in a single season. Oh well,
Speaker 1: here he is as a rookie going for eight hundred plus.
Speaker 1: He's gonna head a thousand this year. Oh yeah, he
Speaker 1: doesn't get hurt no doubt about easy. And then you
Speaker 1: also have to contend with him out of the beckfield
Speaker 1: as a receiver as will Um. I mean not to
Speaker 1: say that he's, you know, gonna Dalvin Cook you out
Speaker 1: of the receiver as a receiver out of the beckfield
Speaker 1: with Tony Pollard you, but if you allow him to
Speaker 1: get a little bit of space, he's going to make
Speaker 1: the first guy miss. And then all of a sudden
Speaker 1: that possible, you know, TfL for one yard one yard
Speaker 1: loss turns into a four yard game, maybe a seven
Speaker 1: yard game. And now it's third and short versus third
Speaker 1: and mid third and long when your pass rush can
Speaker 1: pen their ears back, so you stop peers and the
Speaker 1: rest of the game really will fall into your lap.
Speaker 1: No different from what happened against Indianapolis Cours. I've got
Speaker 1: another Oh. This is in my overview section of this report.
Speaker 1: It says, unlike some of the other backs in this class,
Speaker 1: he isn't a home run threat as much as he
Speaker 1: is just a bowling ball Bruiser wasn't overused either, with
Speaker 1: minimal production this season. Despite having under six hundred yards
Speaker 1: each of the last two years, he has still found
Speaker 1: his way in the end zone. Thirteen times in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty one. So a bruiser, a short yardage guy. But
Speaker 1: more importantly, he's being used. He's being utilized now. They're
Speaker 1: giving him the rock because there's nobody else to go to.
Speaker 1: And that's true. I think that this is in regards
Speaker 1: to his violence, his violent running style. I think this
Speaker 1: is the most physical back to Dallas's face this year.
Speaker 1: Now there's the most physical back that's going to be.
Speaker 1: We'll be going to go play here in a few weeks,
Speaker 1: but I think this is the most physical back there.
Speaker 1: We've played some really good running backs, but in terms
Speaker 1: of physicality in running style, I have to put him
Speaker 1: as the most physical we've played it. We think Taylor Mixing,
Speaker 1: I mean we've played we play some dudes, now play
Speaker 1: some dudes twice. Would you throw Say Kwan into that conversation.
Speaker 1: He's not as physical as he used to be. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's not a violent running and he's more of a
Speaker 1: Barry Sanders. Yeah. I mean I'm looking down the list.
Speaker 1: I'm looking at it too. I think you're right. Maybe
Speaker 1: Miles Sanders maybe too totally different, you know what, I'm
Speaker 1: on board with that. Yeah, at this list, I think
Speaker 1: you're I'm looking, so I'm looking for five years ago. Yes,
Speaker 1: I'm just throwing it out there. I'm throwing for sure.
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to Dallas handling that test, and now
Speaker 1: I think that overall, I'm obviously wait to Friday, but
Speaker 1: overall all I should have handled this Handley. But I'm
Speaker 1: looking forward to seeing how they handle a back that
Speaker 1: just refuses to go down. It's funny because whenever Dallas
Speaker 1: gave up their second straight back to back two hundred
Speaker 1: yard rushing game against Green Bay, they'd given up two
Speaker 1: hundred plus against Chicago, two hundred plus against Green Bay.
Speaker 1: I tweeted out and it got a lot of traction.
Speaker 1: Here's the upcoming schedule for the Cowboys run wise, Dalvin Cook,
Speaker 1: Saquon Barkley, Jonathan Taylor, Damian Pierce, Travis et and the
Speaker 1: Eagles in week sixteen, Derrick Henry in week seventeen. And
Speaker 1: then I ran out of characters, or else I would
Speaker 1: have said the Washington Commanders in week eighteen. However, you
Speaker 1: look at the success that they've had. Dalvin Cook seventy
Speaker 1: two yards, no touchdowns, Saquon Barkley had thirty nine yards
Speaker 1: and one touchdown. It was a two yard run after
Speaker 1: he had to try like three times to get into
Speaker 1: the end zone. Jonathan Taylor eighty two yards. Did he
Speaker 1: end up with a touchdown in that game? I don't
Speaker 1: think so. Yeah, no he didn't, so two yards. They've
Speaker 1: kept these three guys, Dalvin Cook, Saquon Barkley, Jonathan Taylor,
Speaker 1: which you could categorize as one of the best running
Speaker 1: backs trios that you'll face in and back to back
Speaker 1: to back weeks all year long. And then you've got
Speaker 1: Damian Pierce. Why am I more scared of Damian Pierce?
Speaker 1: Because the Khalil Herbert and Chicago Bears show certainly showed
Speaker 1: that if you continue to run at him, they're gonna
Speaker 1: break down. But why is that different now than it
Speaker 1: was back whenever you did play Chicago. I don't think
Speaker 1: you fear him. I think you you look if you're
Speaker 1: gonna have a list of styles of backs that you're
Speaker 1: going to face, this is just a box that has
Speaker 1: been that's unchecked. Right now. We haven't faced a back
Speaker 1: like this now. We've faced much better off. That's where
Speaker 1: the word faced. Yeah, we face much better running games
Speaker 1: where you know, scheme wise, all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: But in terms of backs like this, this is just
Speaker 1: a dude. I mean, you think back to Marshawn when
Speaker 1: he was a Buffalo. You didn't fear Buffalo's office, but
Speaker 1: you better respect the dude that was in the backfield,
Speaker 1: you know. So I mean that's what this is. And
Speaker 1: Dallas isn't fear them. But it's okay, let's take this
Speaker 1: on because we're gonna we're gonna most likely face somebody
Speaker 1: like this down the road or offenses that are gonna
Speaker 1: be diligent running the ball down the road. So let's
Speaker 1: let's check this box too. Well, you're you're about to,
Speaker 1: and I wholeheartedly agree after looking at the list that
Speaker 1: this is the most physical back Piersons the most physical
Speaker 1: back they faced. Um, but they're gonna face a similar one,
Speaker 1: a bigger one. Not not even Derek. We know what Derek,
Speaker 1: but because that's the obvious, so let's look past Derek
Speaker 1: just a little bit. Brian Robinson. Brian Robinson being back
Speaker 1: for for the Washington Commanders. You're gonna face him in
Speaker 1: the final game of the season, and you don't know
Speaker 1: just yet what the impact on that game would be
Speaker 1: as far as you're seating concern. So if that's a
Speaker 1: game that still matters to the Cowboys as far as clinching,
Speaker 1: as far as still having a shot at number one,
Speaker 1: whatever the case may be. UM, Brian Robinson is another
Speaker 1: one that's in a similar vein as Damien Pierce, and
Speaker 1: that here's a young guy that's not a ton of
Speaker 1: NFL him on and he is just down, dirty and
Speaker 1: physical and he just wants you to hit him so
Speaker 1: he can make you remember him when you wake up
Speaker 1: in the morning, like a Frasier right, exactly exactly, So
Speaker 1: he's gonna throw us punches Damian Pierce. But I wouldn't
Speaker 1: say that I am more concerned with Damien Pierce because
Speaker 1: Frasier right. Classic. But once you have shown me that
Speaker 1: you can bottle up Dalvin Cook, shut down say Quon Barkley,
Speaker 1: and then bottle up Jonathan Taylor in a span of
Speaker 1: three consecutive games, two of those in a four games
Speaker 1: in a four day span. Close a folder, right, Hankins
Speaker 1: is coming along now, everybody's executing, the edges are being set.
Speaker 1: Bar is now back on the field and they're rotating
Speaker 1: him with Demone Clark, you know who hasn't even touched
Speaker 1: the field. Yet talk to me, Tach, No, talk to me.
Speaker 1: Talk to me. And which is a great point because
Speaker 1: we will see buzz buzz, hive, hive. We will see
Speaker 1: if Tach McKinley gets elevated from the practice squad this
Speaker 1: week to help contain a talent like Damien Pearson. For
Speaker 1: those that were wondering, and you'll see you're wondering if
Speaker 1: Tach McKinley is simply an edge rusher. The answer is
Speaker 1: hell no, h double hockey sticks. Hell no. He is
Speaker 1: also an edge setter against the run. The likes of
Speaker 1: which that are I'm not going to say equal to,
Speaker 1: but comparable to what DeMarcus Lawrence does on that level.
Speaker 1: So is this a good week that if you're a coach,
Speaker 1: would you activate him to get his feet wet? Here
Speaker 1: we go, you got two games to refine him in
Speaker 1: your system before the all important Christmas Eve game. We
Speaker 1: keep talking about these next two games, how important they
Speaker 1: can be, as far as test drives for cornerbacks. Kelvin
Speaker 1: Joseph and Sean Right. Still got to win those games. Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: you have to win those games. But it's a prime opportunity.
Speaker 1: First of all, you should all respect to these two
Speaker 1: organizations because light Trayvon Dick said, anybody can lose, period,
Speaker 1: anybody can lose. But if you are on your game
Speaker 1: as the Cowboys, you should be able to step on
Speaker 1: the field and it's a win against these two teams. So,
Speaker 1: because there's so much of a discrepancy between ability and
Speaker 1: and just prowess overall, you have a time a window
Speaker 1: right now where you can test drive some of your
Speaker 1: rotations offensive line wise, cornerback wise. So with that said,
Speaker 1: would you rest Michael this week? No? No, no? No?
Speaker 1: Why did I answer quick enough? No? Why? Why? He
Speaker 1: just made a great point that you should hand us
Speaker 1: in the preseason game still counts different things. Stop. You
Speaker 1: want to sure if this is the NBA, you would
Speaker 1: do it. You just want to make sure that you're
Speaker 1: most effective guy. Ensure that he's healthy. If he's a
Speaker 1: little beat up, give him a chance. No, Cowboys don't
Speaker 1: have that lot. You're hoping, hoping and praying right now.
Speaker 1: You can't win this game without Michael. You can, but
Speaker 1: you why you're not in a position to be resting guys?
Speaker 1: Just absolutely, let's ask absolutely. Somebody tweeted it, I mean
Speaker 1: it sounded like you're saying that we're all just wipe
Speaker 1: the floor. These guys in our in our in our
Speaker 1: back ups, gonna beat these guys run it back because
Speaker 1: I want That's what it sounds I said. The discrepancy
Speaker 1: is such that between the two organizations beat the Cowboys
Speaker 1: and the Texas Cowboys and the Jaguars, is that you
Speaker 1: have a window of opportunity that you can test drive
Speaker 1: things like your offensive line, a rotation cornerback rotation for
Speaker 1: Anthony Brown replacement, and your defensive end rotation tech McKinley
Speaker 1: to see where things need to be settled by the
Speaker 1: time Christmas Eva rives. But that's different from saying rest okay.
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this, what if you get up
Speaker 1: by by twenty one by the end of the first
Speaker 1: MICA's not coming out. Man. You saw somebody tweeted at
Speaker 1: us yesterday when I put up the poll about the
Speaker 1: Cowboys offensive line. They said, Isaiah's office rocker, and I
Speaker 1: tried to defend him. I really did. Now I'm starting
Speaker 1: to agree with him. I think now I'm starting to
Speaker 1: think you are off your rocker. That's okay, though, Hey,
Speaker 1: it's okay you're throwing out what's the record again? Who's
Speaker 1: the Cowboys one ten and one? Yeah, not not great,
Speaker 1: and you don't you don't want it to be too
Speaker 1: ten one. So yeah, I get out there. We're not saying,
Speaker 1: We're not saying get out there and lollipop against these guys.
Speaker 1: Get out there and hammered them the same way you
Speaker 1: did the Coats. Keep you know, mamba mentality all the
Speaker 1: way through. I'll stew it in the first quarter. As
Speaker 1: opposed to bring that up. I bring that up because
Speaker 1: chances are very sill both sweet. I bring that up
Speaker 1: because if you're going to handle this game in which
Speaker 1: I think the way we all believe that the Dallas
Speaker 1: Cowboys can hopefully hopefully okay, there is an opportunity. I'm
Speaker 1: not saying don't activate them, don't play them, but maybe
Speaker 1: a half you take some of your main guys out,
Speaker 1: if you're in that position at that point in the game,
Speaker 1: to take some of your main guys out, because the
Speaker 1: chances are very slim that you're gonna get a first
Speaker 1: round by if things keep the way they're going, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to turn around and play. So between
Speaker 1: now and the game that you would like to get to,
Speaker 1: there's no weeks off if you have right if you're
Speaker 1: up by I'm not even gonna say three possessions. If
Speaker 1: you're up by three touchdowns, yes, two different, that's what
Speaker 1: I'm talking about. If you're up bout three downs and
Speaker 1: you're in the third quarter, I would start pulling guys. Okay,
Speaker 1: So I'm fine with that. But as far as going
Speaker 1: into the game, say Mike, that's why changed to take us?
Speaker 1: Why changed? As I said, if you're up by three
Speaker 1: touchdowns by halftime, do you pull your guys on because
Speaker 1: that's the reality cops. Yeah, probably, Yes, you got an
Speaker 1: eight week spread, that's when you really that's when you all.
Speaker 1: You can't lose. You can't lose. You can't lose. The
Speaker 1: destination that you're trying to get to is eight weeks away. Yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: no breaks, no doubt, breaks, no gas, no breaks. Hopefully
Speaker 1: you can't you catch a break. Like I said, you're
Speaker 1: hoping and praying. I'm saying hoping and praying right now
Speaker 1: that Philadelphia loses. Yeah, but right now it doesn't look
Speaker 1: that way. So the chances are you're not going to
Speaker 1: get a buy. So with that said, when can you
Speaker 1: find some space to rest some of your guys. We're
Speaker 1: finding space right now to take a break, so we're
Speaker 1: gonna rest our guys right now. We'll be racked back
Speaker 1: with more talking cowboys. Todd thought it would be secure
Speaker 1: to jog and the cheetah savant. Todd believed the big

Speaker 1: Did you know that there's a trophy for this game?
Speaker 1: Did you know that? No, there's Did you know that
Speaker 1: there's a trophy for this game? There used to be.
Speaker 1: I think it's still a thing kind of. It's the
Speaker 1: Governor's Cup, and the Texans currently own it at the
Speaker 1: moment because they won the most recent regular season game
Speaker 1: nineteen sixteen. Back in twenty eighteen, that was an overtime game.
Speaker 1: The Cowboys lost down in Houston. Some of you remember that,
Speaker 1: But yeah, two NFL franchises play every four years during
Speaker 1: the regular season and occasionally during the preseason. The Governor's
Speaker 1: Cup has been awarded to the winner since the Houston
Speaker 1: Oilers hosted the Dallas Cowboys at Rice Stadium on September third,
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty seven. In that game, the Cowboys snagged a
Speaker 1: thirty to seventeen victory. And then, of course, when the
Speaker 1: Oilers moved to Tennessee and then Houston got the expansion franchise,
Speaker 1: they picked it back up in two thousand and two.
Speaker 1: So currently it's down in Houston and it's sitting down there.
Speaker 1: This is from the Bullock Museum. I mean, this is
Speaker 1: from like a legitimate site, historical say, but there's a
Speaker 1: Governor's Cup for that. How about that. Oh congratulations to Houston. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they won it back in twenty eighteen. They're about to
Speaker 1: get it taken right back. I think I think we
Speaker 1: should petition Jerry because they don't even have it on
Speaker 1: on like display. It's not even on display down there.
Speaker 1: I think we should just get Jerry. Whenever the Cowboys
Speaker 1: win this weekend, just put it right here. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be good. Yeah, let's have some fun. It's pretty solid.
Speaker 1: At least it would be kind of on display, right,
Speaker 1: Let's have some fun with that. Yeah. Final couple of
Speaker 1: minutes here of the preview for the Cowboys defense was
Speaker 1: in the Texas offense. He said it in the break.
Speaker 1: I heard it. He said it Scooper Rush show again.
Speaker 1: Anything that we that's a valid point. Though it's not.
Speaker 1: It is a valid point. It's not okay, it's not
Speaker 1: all right, you're not in three though. I hope we
Speaker 1: don't have to bring this conversation up again. Listen, I
Speaker 1: hope we don't have to know where you're going with
Speaker 1: that resting completely. Are we talking about second half? Guy?
Speaker 1: Second half? Okay, that's fine, not the entire that one's fine,
Speaker 1: But we're talking about the whole game as a question.
Speaker 1: But my real question was the second half. Like, okay,
Speaker 1: take care of the first half. Oh, that one's fine.
Speaker 1: I'm not U. I still half time. No, you gotta
Speaker 1: they gotta come out in the third quarter at least
Speaker 1: to re establish in the third quarter. Make sure everything's
Speaker 1: good and settled and where it needs to be. And
Speaker 1: then once you feel that everything is, then you can
Speaker 1: start pulling them. I'm not gonna lie to you, guys.
Speaker 1: I'm superstitious. So um, I don't like the fact that
