Speaker 1: The following. He's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club Cowboys. This he's Talking Cowboys,
Speaker 1: screaming live from the Dallas Cowboys World Headhours at the
Speaker 1: Star in Price Cholos got and now your hosts Isaiah Stanback,
Speaker 1: heck My Harrison, Rob Phillips, and Kyle Yeoman's Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 1: It is a victory Monday here on Talking Cowboys, scented
Speaker 1: by Tostidos. It's not the official chip in the dipper.
Speaker 1: I guess it is the official chip and dipp but
Speaker 1: that's not the read anymore. And I forgot to pull
Speaker 1: out the other red. I appolologize toastitos. I will get
Speaker 1: it right tomorrow. Heck, miss Hurson got it right. You
Speaker 1: missed a couple of days. This is what happened. I'm
Speaker 1: completely off many. I forget they switched it, but guess
Speaker 1: what didn't switch. The Cowboys got back to their winning
Speaker 1: ways a forty three to three win over the Atlanta Falcons.
Speaker 1: Forty point dub over the Falcons, and that is how
Speaker 1: you rebound the Cowboys. It was a huge question going
Speaker 1: into the week, how were they going to rebound? And
Speaker 1: let's just say they did it in a big time
Speaker 1: way on Sunday afternoon alongside heck Ma Harris and Isaiah
Speaker 1: stand back, Rob Phillips, Crisp Beam in the back of
Speaker 1: Kyle Yeoman's glad you're with us here on this Monday morning.
Speaker 1: Let's party, gentlemen. That was fun. That was a lot
Speaker 1: of fun. Heck yeah, come on, yes, oh yeah, take
Speaker 1: it your phones off because this high is gonna be today. Okay,
Speaker 1: So after we laid that egg, After we laid that egg,
Speaker 1: everybody upstairs is already now eg hey, we put Dumpty
Speaker 1: back together again. Forty Burger? Who predicted a forty burger
Speaker 1: on this show? Who was the man that said Chris
Speaker 1: Bank was gonna go and get that forty burger? Who
Speaker 1: was the guy? Raise your hand if you're that if
Speaker 1: can you raise your hand? Come on? Isaiah stand back?
Speaker 1: Did you have one? Did you enjoy one after the game? No?
Speaker 1: I'm a vegetarian, but they don't have to have a
Speaker 1: vegetarian menu. How dare what a burger? Wow? Hear them?
Speaker 1: He didn't consider me. Those jerks they're the best. Don't work.
Speaker 1: That'll work with me. I don't eat the pancut. Got
Speaker 1: a vegetarian over here, and the guy that only eats
Speaker 1: farm raised chicken, that's right, what are you even talking about?
Speaker 1: He has no idea when he's talking. You only eat
Speaker 1: like the organic stuff. We've never had the discussion. He
Speaker 1: is just on running, you running. I figured if you're
Speaker 1: the guy that only guy on the roller coaster for
Speaker 1: the first time the twenty five, it's only free raised
Speaker 1: chicken that you eat, it's all good man, It's gonna
Speaker 1: be on the chain like it gonta be this all day.
Speaker 1: Let's go. Oh goodness, Rob, what did you think about
Speaker 1: that one at at and T Stadium that was having
Speaker 1: some fun with it too? So much for a blueprint, huh?
Speaker 1: I mean they told us, Dak told us after the
Speaker 1: last game against Denver, like bring this aggressive man coverage
Speaker 1: if you want to bring it, and it was more
Speaker 1: about us, and it was, in fact more about them,
Speaker 1: and that's exactly what Atlanta tried to do. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to seeing the All twenty two when
Speaker 1: it comes out, But it did seem like at first
Speaker 1: glance that's they mixed it up. But a lot of
Speaker 1: it was man to man and safety help over the top,
Speaker 1: and they absolutely toasted it and got right back on
Speaker 1: track heading into what, to me is like the most
Speaker 1: fun matchup that I can remember with the Cowboys several years.
Speaker 1: Several years. They take care of business. I mean, we
Speaker 1: talked about it. I'm talking about all week. I mean,
Speaker 1: I didn't want to call it a fluke, but I
Speaker 1: pretty much to everybody that they didn't want to They
Speaker 1: didn't show up the work last week. And everybody has
Speaker 1: those days. You don't want to think about your professional
Speaker 1: football team having a day where they don't show up
Speaker 1: to work or you know, guys are kind of out
Speaker 1: of it, but guess what, they're humans, and that's the
Speaker 1: reality of life. And but what you're looking for is
Speaker 1: people to be able to bounce back from those things.
Speaker 1: And that's exactly what you saw this week. It was
Speaker 1: not it was not indicative of our lack their of
Speaker 1: ability to execute any of those things. It just was
Speaker 1: a bad week. M and guys. Because of the character
Speaker 1: of this team, they went out there, they put into
Speaker 1: work and they ensured that that would never happen again. Um.
Speaker 1: And this was their response to that game. And on
Speaker 1: top of that, I think that they were playing for
Speaker 1: a little bit more than just redemption of last week's game.
Speaker 1: Some of the coaching decisions, going for two calling timeouts
Speaker 1: at the end of a half when you know, really
Speaker 1: have a chance to get the ball back. I think
Speaker 1: they were trying their best to to embarrassed. Yeah, they
Speaker 1: were trying to drag their It's not Friday, but I'm
Speaker 1: gonna say they were trying to drag Atlanta, and I
Speaker 1: think coach Kam may to have a little something to
Speaker 1: do with that. And I'm I'm actually kind of proud
Speaker 1: of them. I loved it from the from the coin
Speaker 1: flip all the way through. We kept our foot on
Speaker 1: their throat the entire game. And that's the only thing
Speaker 1: that I took that ass and all of the criticism
Speaker 1: that coach Mike McCarthy has got going oh for four
Speaker 1: on fourth down, he comes right back in this game
Speaker 1: and he stays with his game plan and he doesn't
Speaker 1: wavery doesn't change man and also bones fossil. Here's a
Speaker 1: guy that's taken a whole lot of criticism over the
Speaker 1: over the first part of the season in some of
Speaker 1: the decisions, but special teams and the way that like
Speaker 1: this is a complete team win, but the way that
Speaker 1: the special team seems played yesterday even with you know,
Speaker 1: um a CD and on punt returns, what the block
Speaker 1: punt and man, shout out to Nahan right, shout out
Speaker 1: to Nashan right that his redemption came quat from a
Speaker 1: guy that had you know, obviously cost him that point
Speaker 1: block that hit him in the hands, but then coming
Speaker 1: back and getting a touchdown and Darrence Armstrong had himself
Speaker 1: one hell of a game. Man, It's just a complete
Speaker 1: team win. I love to see them win in dominating
Speaker 1: fashion and absolutely leave no question this most complimentary win
Speaker 1: they've had in a ten years something like that, I mean,
Speaker 1: his first forty point wins since the year two thousand,
Speaker 1: because heck just laid it out. We just talked about
Speaker 1: how great the offense was. Punt block again, which they
Speaker 1: I think they've got two for the season, but we
Speaker 1: saw it with our own eyes a week ago at
Speaker 1: least should be three, it should be three. And then
Speaker 1: defensively getting three picks in a game for the first
Speaker 1: time since twenty ten, so you name it, everything went right.
Speaker 1: They went. I forget what they were against the Broncos
Speaker 1: on fourth down, it was like four three for three.
Speaker 1: I mean It's just like everything just tilted. It was
Speaker 1: like a roller coaster. It went down and went back up,
Speaker 1: you know, and so hey, I know, I know. Are
Speaker 1: you scared a little bit? Okay? Yeah, that's that's the
Speaker 1: thing though that I think it's gonna get lost in
Speaker 1: all the fantastic stats. Like you said, is the versions
Speaker 1: on short yardage situations in late down scenarios, third down,
Speaker 1: fourth down, completely flipped on his head. Heck mentioned it earlier.
Speaker 1: I think that might be the most encouraging thing moving forward.
Speaker 1: The other thing is is, like you said, the pump
Speaker 1: block is going to stick out on special teams. The
Speaker 1: returns from CD LAMB certainly are going to stand out
Speaker 1: on special teams. But I don't know if I remember
Speaker 1: a game consistently with kick coverage where the Cowboys were
Speaker 1: able to get down the field and stuff a team
Speaker 1: more consistently than they did like that one. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean go back and watch it. I mean Atlanta, when
Speaker 1: they would have an opportunity, they didn't have an opportunity. No,
Speaker 1: let's just say that there was no opportunity to make
Speaker 1: any kind of return. And I mean Liam higher Law
Speaker 1: who came in, did his job, filled in for a
Speaker 1: week for Greg's arline didn't miss any extra points and
Speaker 1: well he uh what about Anger? Yeah, Brian Anger was punting.
Speaker 1: Well that's the thing. Special teams is going to get
Speaker 1: lost in the shovel because the offense put up forty
Speaker 1: three points in the defense only allowed three. But like
Speaker 1: you said, complimentary team win. That's about as good as
Speaker 1: it gets. And I know Isaiah likes the special teams unit,
Speaker 1: likes talk good special teams and talking about these boys
Speaker 1: for a while now, and people were talking about I
Speaker 1: was crazy and Bones Fossil sucks and Bliss blaise and
Speaker 1: all I'm saying, Oh, they need to keep pressure and
Speaker 1: that's what you do on special teams, you don't And
Speaker 1: now all of a sudden, it seems like everybody seems
Speaker 1: to do the same bandwagon as me. That was the
Speaker 1: best unit they had last season. That was the by really,
Speaker 1: by far, the most consistent unit they had last season.
Speaker 1: It's just they tried some crazy stuff situationally last year
Speaker 1: and it didn't work. The ricks no one more time,
Speaker 1: No no, no, you deserve too right there because you
Speaker 1: did call it. You know, I was saying, Hey, Bones
Speaker 1: is the is the one homeboy that you. You know,
Speaker 1: your wife said you can't go out with him, you know,
Speaker 1: but one thing about your day one, homeboys, if you
Speaker 1: ever need him, you call them right there. You gotta
Speaker 1: say what your day was and bones, man, that's it.
Speaker 1: That's just aggressive play calling. Gotta gotta love it. Ye.
Speaker 1: What did you think about Dak Prescott in the way
Speaker 1: that he played after really kind of the down game
Speaker 1: that he had against demverd just never had really the
Speaker 1: same page with his receivers. Sure, he gets Michael Gallop back.
Speaker 1: Gallup played well, had a couple of catches, especially a
Speaker 1: big one inside the five yard line on one of
Speaker 1: those drives. But it looked like Dak was back to
Speaker 1: being dominant Dak, And that's a That's another thing that
Speaker 1: was encouraging to me. What did you see from four
Speaker 1: on Sunday? I thought he looked I thought he looked good.
Speaker 1: You know. I thought when at the beginning of the game,
Speaker 1: the first series, right there he came out and made
Speaker 1: a throw the free safety for the Falcons missed an
Speaker 1: opportunity pick, you know, and I think Dak kind of
Speaker 1: rain pulled himself back in and said, hey, you know,
Speaker 1: I know I got control of this sort of the
Speaker 1: running game, do a little, do some things for him,
Speaker 1: get down the field. But it was on those big throws.
Speaker 1: It was on the fourth downs man that he was
Speaker 1: making throws to one to Ceedee Lamb, I believe, one
Speaker 1: to Michael Gallup. All of those throngs were clutch for us.
Speaker 1: And so, you know, I just felt good about his mechanics.
Speaker 1: He looked good right on the on the touchdown run
Speaker 1: for that. All right, Look, bro, no, we don't need
Speaker 1: you carrying for people into the end zone. We hadn't
Speaker 1: got to that point yet. When we get when we
Speaker 1: get home field advantage, and that's to go to the
Speaker 1: super Bowl, that's when we pull that out. Big that
Speaker 1: But my god, that's the only thing I was like,
Speaker 1: please get up, Please get up, And he did. I mean,
Speaker 1: but you're right, Kyle, with great performance, Um, And I
Speaker 1: loved it. I loved every bit of it. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean we talked about it in the pregame live show
Speaker 1: call and talked about how, you know, DA just needed
Speaker 1: to get back to us to mechanics and his fundamentals
Speaker 1: of you know, his footwork and his delivery and everything
Speaker 1: that entails UM into making sure that he has he's
Speaker 1: an efficient thrower, and I think he just got back
Speaker 1: to those things. There was nothing that he needed to
Speaker 1: do that was miraculous. He just needed to get back
Speaker 1: to the fundamentals of being a quarterback because I think
Speaker 1: last week he just showed up and try to go
Speaker 1: out there and just do it and the rest was real.
Speaker 1: You know, It's like it's like you don't want to
Speaker 1: realize that you're getting older, but guess what that backlocks
Speaker 1: up on you. You know, you know back in the day,
Speaker 1: you should just be able to walk out there and
Speaker 1: throw the football around. Well, last week Dak realized, Dan,
Speaker 1: I can't just can't just do that anymore. So you know,
Speaker 1: I have to actually focus on these things when I'm
Speaker 1: coming off of a little break. And I think that's
Speaker 1: all it was for him. But you know, it takes.
Speaker 1: It takes instances like that. You want to see guys say, hey,
Speaker 1: go back and review that film, come back and make
Speaker 1: the corrections necessary to go out there and not allow
Speaker 1: it to happen again. Yeah, Mike actually agreed with him
Speaker 1: last week. He said, even though he was full practice
Speaker 1: the week at the Broncos game, that pre practice quarterback
Speaker 1: school stuff they kind of held him out of some
Speaker 1: of that footwork stuff, and I think there was Russ there.
Speaker 1: I think the other thing, too, is that everybody around
Speaker 1: him was just better in this game. The pass protection
Speaker 1: was better, Terence Steele looked more comfortable. They put some
Speaker 1: help to his side, The receivers were healthier. You mentioned
Speaker 1: Michael Gallop being back definitely helps, but Ceedee Lamb was
Speaker 1: clearly and I asked him about this after the game,
Speaker 1: clearly moving better. I mean, all all you could see
Speaker 1: was that that wide receiver screen on the second play
Speaker 1: from scrimmage where the ankle's okay. And then on top
Speaker 1: of that, I thought, I thought Ezekiel Elliott set the tone. Yes,
Speaker 1: I personally thought his block on the touchdown pass blocking, yep,
Speaker 1: decleating Dion Jones, like you talk about, they didn't play
Speaker 1: physical enough against the Broncos, and that was that was
Speaker 1: their challenge to themselves. That set the tone right there,
Speaker 1: what Zeke did. And that's that's the stuff that doesn't
Speaker 1: show up on the stats. That's what I'm always telling people.
Speaker 1: Don't get enamored with the dog on stats. Like it's
Speaker 1: cool to use as a guide and it's cool to reference,
Speaker 1: but fourteen carriages for forty one yards and two touchdowns. Okay,
Speaker 1: well you look at that and you say he was
Speaker 1: just our goal line back. You know, that's if you
Speaker 1: were just looking at the statues there, he's our goal
Speaker 1: line back and he didn't know. Okay, yeah, he had
Speaker 1: touchdowns on the goal line, but take that away. In
Speaker 1: fourteen carriages for forty one yards two point nine yards
Speaker 1: per carry, he didn't have a good game. Bullcrap, bullcrap.
Speaker 1: Zeke went out there like he's been doing all year long.
Speaker 1: And if he's not carrying the ball, you know, a
Speaker 1: bunch of a bunch of times and carrying getting a
Speaker 1: bunch of yards and making these big, gashing players, he
Speaker 1: is blocking his tail off and he is freeing up
Speaker 1: guys and the opportunities for a Dak to sit back
Speaker 1: there comfortably and be able to deliver that rock. He
Speaker 1: is an intricate part of this team and people need
Speaker 1: to identify that and recognizing give him the credit for it.
Speaker 1: And we identified that last week talking about what Zeke's uh,
Speaker 1: you know what his impact on the game is gonna be.
Speaker 1: Not only running and pass protection and getting still that help.
Speaker 1: He operates like the extra swing tackle for us on
Speaker 1: that on that touchdown play and decleted exactly what he did.
Speaker 1: I mean, because Dean Jones came up like, wait, wait
Speaker 1: a minute, you know, hey, I think he just hit
Speaker 1: me with something. I don't know what you see, versity
Speaker 1: blues like it was those kind of hits that guys
Speaker 1: were getting just laid out, That's what it looked like.
Speaker 1: And he's sacrificing himself on that, you know, to make
Speaker 1: sure that Dak has some extra time. But you're right,
Speaker 1: it's just that everybody in this game collectively played together.
Speaker 1: Our energy level was up. I know we're gonna talk
Speaker 1: about the defense on the next probably next segment, but
Speaker 1: that's where I think was the difference was. Once the
Speaker 1: offense came out and they scored on their drive, it
Speaker 1: was like the defense was like, hey, it's our time,
Speaker 1: let's go boys. Yeah. Yeah, they got after it. And
Speaker 1: the other thing about the zeke and the complimentary play,
Speaker 1: the offensive line did their job early setting the tone
Speaker 1: as well. I thought the final drive of the first
Speaker 1: going into the second, that was their best drive of
Speaker 1: the day where it finally looked like Terryn Steele found
Speaker 1: some confidence. Connor Williams didn't have a holding call until
Speaker 1: later in the game. We'll talk about that at some
Speaker 1: point this week probably, And then there were a couple
Speaker 1: of different things that really stuck out. The offensive line
Speaker 1: just gave Dak Prescott time to throw. Now, I will
Speaker 1: say Atlanta's front seven was not very good. Oh, they've
Speaker 1: been given up points and yards, no doubt, no doubt.
Speaker 1: But that was a huge confidence builder going into a
Speaker 1: game like what they're gonna have this Sunday, And we're
Speaker 1: gonna have fun talking about that later in the week
Speaker 1: as well. But how did you feel like the offensive
Speaker 1: line did and what you saw initially, at least on
Speaker 1: the first viewing of that game. Well, I liked that
Speaker 1: they were able to load up in goal line and
Speaker 1: get the big macpackage going even if he's a tailback
Speaker 1: lined up or whatever, and just moved the line of
Speaker 1: scrimmage in short yarded situations. I think Heck referenced it,
Speaker 1: and Bobby built the great Bobby Build on NFL Network
Speaker 1: does great stuff with Jane Slayter. He he said since
Speaker 1: Week six, Dallas was only picking up first downs on
Speaker 1: forty point seven percent of plays where they were one
Speaker 1: to two yards from a first down. Second worse in
Speaker 1: the league. On Sunday they were seven for eight. That's
Speaker 1: offensive line moving guys off the ball. Yeah it is no.
Speaker 1: I thought they played well. And the big mac Cup
Speaker 1: package mcgoverning is out at the slot receiver and I'm like,
Speaker 1: this is new was the slot when I saw that?
Speaker 1: When I saw that ended up taking what was it,
Speaker 1: thirty seven yards? I gotta right here, yeah, thirty seven yards.
Speaker 1: On a second and seven, they put connorvercover out in
Speaker 1: the slot and he was a laite blocker for a
Speaker 1: screen to ceedee lamb. I saw that. I saw sixty
Speaker 1: six go out in the slot, and I just started
Speaker 1: rubbing my hands together. I was like, oh, creative back, baby, Kelln.
Speaker 1: What was that? Ceed loved it. He talked about it
Speaker 1: in a postgame interview. He was like, hey, when you
Speaker 1: see lineman out there, quarterbacks are trembling. He's Kelln just
Speaker 1: doing this to just make himself laugh and be like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make these guys worry about this next week.
Speaker 1: It goes into McCarthy's office and he goes right up
Speaker 1: to him and he goes, hey, I'm gonna put Connor
Speaker 1: McGovern in the slot. What do you think about that.
Speaker 1: What do you think you think telling? Yeah, I like
Speaker 1: lare receivers the one side, and McGovern is one of them.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's it. That's it. Alignment we want. He
Speaker 1: played some receiver in Pop Warner when he was eight
Speaker 1: years old, so he in his dreams, he's always been
Speaker 1: a big man. Always every little fat kids dream. I
Speaker 1: don't they get I surely I thought he was gonna
Speaker 1: get a touchdown in this game. I was just gonna
Speaker 1: say that in a forty three to three game, and
Speaker 1: you're you're already blown them out. I thought this might
Speaker 1: have been the chance for McGovern to get a touch
Speaker 1: Is it not well established by this point that that's
Speaker 1: not gonna happen. No, No, it's going to happy. You
Speaker 1: gotta keep hope a lite. We want a big man touchdown.
Speaker 1: Hold onto your seats this week. I think we might
Speaker 1: see more trick players and we've seen in the NFL
Speaker 1: in a very long time on both sides. How was
Speaker 1: about to say both? Most likely because they're gonna they're
Speaker 1: gonna get in their back deep into the playbook. All right,
Speaker 1: when we come back, let's talk about the defense. Michael
Speaker 1: Parsons again flying around, No, Randy Gregory, no problem for
Speaker 1: the Cowboys defense. Yesterday we talk more on the way
Speaker 1: to over Atlanta. When we return with more talking Cowboys. Honey,

Speaker 1: they have like we don't want to disrupt. We don't
Speaker 1: want to disrupt, you know. Heckless, no, you're not going to. Okay, good,
Speaker 1: he's the fruit cup over the self self sustaining. At
Speaker 1: the same time, all right, let's talk about the defense.
Speaker 1: Cowboys give up three points. It's their first game underneath
Speaker 1: double digits points allowed since Week fourteen last year against
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengals. That was a thirty to seven win,
Speaker 1: and safe to say that was a dominating win, not
Speaker 1: as dominating as this one. And the Cowboys win it
Speaker 1: forty three to three over the Falcons. Rob When you
Speaker 1: when you look back on this game and you see
Speaker 1: the score and you see the box score, what are
Speaker 1: you going to remember most about what the defense was
Speaker 1: able to accomplish, Just how how great the Dbs played.
Speaker 1: But I think it was a product of won the offense, complimentary,
Speaker 1: building up a lead, forcing Atlanta to be more pass happy.
Speaker 1: But I just I just think they got back to
Speaker 1: doing what they do, and that's being more physical. And
Speaker 1: I thought I thought a big play, a momentum shifter.
Speaker 1: It was that second drive because that's when they kind
Speaker 1: of settled in. Gave up a field goal on the
Speaker 1: opening drive, but then Jordan Lewis steps up big with
Speaker 1: some coverage. They tried to test him, Yeah, testing him
Speaker 1: against Kyle Pitts and Cordurell Patterson and that punch out
Speaker 1: by Jayron Curse at the end when he was looking
Speaker 1: for Russell Gage down the field. That seemed to elevate
Speaker 1: their confidence level after that play and they kind of
Speaker 1: went on from there. Jordan Lewis, you talk about setting
Speaker 1: the tone offensively, it was. It was Zeke and the
Speaker 1: physicality that he had. It's hard to find a guy
Speaker 1: outside of Jordan Lewis that did it more. Maybe he
Speaker 1: could argue Michael Parsons early in the drive or early
Speaker 1: in the game, I should say, but Jordan Lewis was
Speaker 1: right there that dude had a fantastic game, and I
Speaker 1: threw it out there early was like, man, he's having
Speaker 1: a career game. I didn't say career best game, but
Speaker 1: I mean my mentions very quickly filled up with reminders
Speaker 1: of the Saints game a couple of years ago that
Speaker 1: he had where he really did play exceptionally well with
Speaker 1: the pick. On the back end of this, with the
Speaker 1: three tackles, the takeaway or the backdowns, I think this
Speaker 1: was just as good of a game, but I would
Speaker 1: argue this is better because that was agreed. That was
Speaker 1: only eight snaps. It felt like he played fifty in
Speaker 1: that game against New Orleans, but he was asked to
Speaker 1: play a very small role. He was out there quite
Speaker 1: a bit and he's their third corner and did a
Speaker 1: really nice job against a guy that can dice you up,
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan if you give him enough time. Like that
Speaker 1: was a worrisome matchup for this defense, and they did
Speaker 1: a great job. Man. I agree, I would make this
Speaker 1: the better game, and that's kind of where I was
Speaker 1: leading with it. But out sight of Jordan Lewis and
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons, how encouraged were you with the defense and
Speaker 1: how they looked without Randy Gregory? Yeah, I was encouraged overall.
Speaker 1: I mean, you take Michael Parsons away. I mean, but
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons had a one hell of a game. Six
Speaker 1: solo tackles, one for a loss, and a sack and
Speaker 1: a pressure so forced fumble. I mean a lot of
Speaker 1: Like I know, we're gonna argue all week about him
Speaker 1: being an edge rusher, and I get it, you know
Speaker 1: he does. He does a wonderful job all over the field.
Speaker 1: I don't care where you put him, just making sure
Speaker 1: number eleven is on the field. He impacts the game
Speaker 1: for us. But Jordan Lewis, you're right, those two prats
Speaker 1: break ups back to back, and it just signified what
Speaker 1: this defense wasn't. Shout out to Triston Hill. Shout out
Speaker 1: to Tristan Hill being activated and man playing like a
Speaker 1: guy that understands that he can't just make kind of
Speaker 1: work his way into the rotation. He came out like
Speaker 1: somebody put a little birdie and had talked to him
Speaker 1: and said, look, you better come out to Canadon. You
Speaker 1: better come out firing immediately. And he played like a
Speaker 1: man of really good to see him after all that
Speaker 1: he's been through so far. He looked like a guy
Speaker 1: playing for his job ultimately, is what it was. It
Speaker 1: looked like a guy who knows his job is on
Speaker 1: the line because of the young, young guys behind him.
Speaker 1: And he's a young guy himself. I mean, he was
Speaker 1: just the twenty eighteen draftee. It's not like he's been
Speaker 1: around for long sore twenty nineteen. Sorry, but even more so,
Speaker 1: they're still young guys behind him that are gonna make
Speaker 1: some make some noise. Yeah, I mean that you felt
Speaker 1: like the competition was back on that side of the ball.
Speaker 1: And that's what you that's the whole dan Quinn. I
Speaker 1: mean we've talked about this over and over again. That's
Speaker 1: what he does. And those guys had a little bit
Speaker 1: more motivation they had. They had motivation because they didn't
Speaker 1: perform well last week. They had motivation because they were
Speaker 1: they were representing their coach. They were representing dan Quinn
Speaker 1: and his response game to the team that he wanted
Speaker 1: that he got fired from him. So they were they
Speaker 1: were playing twofold. They were playing twofold, and then they're
Speaker 1: also actually three fold because they were playing for each other.
Speaker 1: So those guys had a lot to play for yesterday
Speaker 1: and they're having fun. And that's what you want to
Speaker 1: see from your defense. Those guys are flying aroun. They
Speaker 1: got back to all the things that have made them great, right,
Speaker 1: being fast, being physical, you know, playing together, communicating, you know,
Speaker 1: guys not wanting to miss out on players. I want
Speaker 1: to get a player. There is times where guys were
Speaker 1: wrapped up and guys were coming in there taking another
Speaker 1: shot just because hey, I want to I want to
Speaker 1: get a shot of this too. Let me get in
Speaker 1: on this, and I don't want to sit back and
Speaker 1: watch you'all tackle with him. Let me get yeah. I mean,
Speaker 1: everybody played a part in it, and it was just
Speaker 1: it was awesome to see. Um, they needed this game.
Speaker 1: They needed this game, how bad on the heels of
Speaker 1: what we got to come, so they needed this game.
Speaker 1: I love that. But I also we talked last week
Speaker 1: about Brandy Gregory's absence and being worried about how do
Speaker 1: you feel in for that production? Bash them? Yeah, ghosting
Speaker 1: the unit, Armstrong, Armstrong, Armstrong the first Cowboys player to
Speaker 1: have both a sack and a blocked punt in the
Speaker 1: same game day Yeah. And then when we talked about
Speaker 1: how do we get back to being us and getting
Speaker 1: back to full strength. We know that Randy's on IR
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be three weeks for sure, but also
Speaker 1: here in that tank is getting closer and closer. This defense,
Speaker 1: even with what we have right now, is going to
Speaker 1: be scary going into December. Saucy ghostin, he gets to
Speaker 1: pass uhlock, you know, the best down the ball. He
Speaker 1: played exceptional as well. But on that past I'm saying
Speaker 1: you guys, go back and see the all twenty two,
Speaker 1: Mattie Ice was on his way to a pick six.
Speaker 1: He was coming. It was it was, you know, and
Speaker 1: so defensive line wise, O see a DIGGI Zola, all
Speaker 1: of these guys, man, they had a great, great game,
Speaker 1: but linebackers, everybody, man. I think it was a complete
Speaker 1: total team win. It really looked like the defense stepped
Speaker 1: up knowing that they that they one had a bad
Speaker 1: week last week. I think that certainly played a part
Speaker 1: of it. And you heard kind of the rumblings throughout
Speaker 1: the week of just how locked in everybody was after
Speaker 1: the beat down against Denver. But also you turn around
Speaker 1: and you say, you know what, we don't have Randy Gregory.
Speaker 1: That's been really the leader, the veteran on that side
Speaker 1: of the football. So now without him, where does it
Speaker 1: come from? Well? I want to be that guy, is
Speaker 1: what it looked like. And of course we're not in
Speaker 1: the locker room. We don't hear that. We hear what
Speaker 1: we hear from the media availability, but man, it's at
Speaker 1: least on film, it looked like, like you said, everyone
Speaker 1: wanted a piece of the action. Everyone stepped up and
Speaker 1: wanted to wanted a part of it, And it was
Speaker 1: really fun to watch. No, it's a brotherhood in that
Speaker 1: locker room. But Dorn's Armstrong said last week like he
Speaker 1: was excited for the opportunity. I mean, you don't want
Speaker 1: to see your brother go down. But this is a
Speaker 1: guy that had a great training camp and then missed
Speaker 1: several games with an ankle injury and wanted to show
Speaker 1: what he could do. And so yeah, I think absolutely,
Speaker 1: it's healthy competition. You're wanting to be the best player
Speaker 1: that you can be. Real quick on Tristan Hill, he
Speaker 1: got fifteen snaps in the game. Quinn Bohanna was inactive,
Speaker 1: healthy scratch. They just swapped out just for a lineup change,
Speaker 1: and he had twenty four snaps the week before. So
Speaker 1: Tristan Hill didn't play that much but had two tackles,
Speaker 1: had a nice pressure on Matt Ryan at one point,
Speaker 1: and was pretty productive in there. So they've got to
Speaker 1: keep that physical mindset if they had. That's what dan
Speaker 1: Quinn keeps saying. They got to keep that edge. You know,
Speaker 1: Atlanta didn't try to again, that's that's their m O.
Speaker 1: They didn't try to run the ball that much. They
Speaker 1: had a little success when they did. They gotta keep
Speaker 1: that going. You know one advantage. It's this whole complimentary thing.
Speaker 1: You build a lead like this, it's the defense can
Speaker 1: doesn't really have to worry about that side of the ball.
Speaker 1: It gets close, then all of a sudden, you know,
Speaker 1: the balance part of things comes in. So they got
Speaker 1: to keep, you know, stay on that. And I think
Speaker 1: getting tanked back eventually will help with that, the edge
Speaker 1: containment and all those things. Dak President or excuse me
Speaker 1: not that, but DeMarcus Lawrence today tweeted out a picture
Speaker 1: of him on the sideline and it said soon with
Speaker 1: like a dot dot dot very ominous from d law
Speaker 1: secondary three picks, Antheado Brown, Treyvon Diggs of course, eighth
Speaker 1: pick of the year. I mean, goodness, gracious that dude
Speaker 1: still balling. And then Jordan Lewis, like we mentioned a
Speaker 1: little bit earlier, how do you think you got they
Speaker 1: played overall? I mean Matt Ryan held to one hundred
Speaker 1: and eleven or one hundred and seventeen passing yards. It's
Speaker 1: pretty impressed if overall, and I think the Cowboys certainly
Speaker 1: had one of their better games of the year. Now,
Speaker 1: no Calvin Ridley to worry about, but they still had
Speaker 1: Calvin or excuse me. Kyle Pitts and at Russell Gage
Speaker 1: a couple other weapons for Atlanta, but they were non
Speaker 1: factors throughout the game. I mean, and hey man, we're
Speaker 1: dealing with some injuries too, so it's just a part
Speaker 1: of the game. And you're right, they were shorthand they
Speaker 1: didn't have Calvin Ridley. But just going back to our guys,
Speaker 1: man Trey von Dix, who has been taking a whole
Speaker 1: lot of dirt on his name over the last couple
Speaker 1: of weeks with penalties and making you know, assuming that,
Speaker 1: hey man, maybe this was a little bit flukish for
Speaker 1: him to get those seven interceptions. He comes right back
Speaker 1: and gets another. I love the way that they played
Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts. I was a little you know, I was like,
Speaker 1: they're zoning him up, that you were switching coverage on
Speaker 1: him a lot, but they were just not willing to
Speaker 1: give up anything deep and were sacrificing everything underneath. And
Speaker 1: it just that was just dan quinn man. He called
Speaker 1: an excellent game defensively and switched up coverage quite often.
Speaker 1: I think those were some of the things that kind
Speaker 1: of confused him and was these guys. It's Jordan Lewis
Speaker 1: and Anthony Brown. Anthony Brown. You know I've been on
Speaker 1: the Anthony Brown fan club since the start. So, guys,
Speaker 1: the pick of the year, you've given him all sticker, Yeah,
Speaker 1: the year. It's like he called it, my friends. He man,
Speaker 1: all I'm saying. All I'm saying is a B on
Speaker 1: that interception that will superior concentration and the way that
Speaker 1: he got that. So I'm just meant the whole dB,
Speaker 1: all the defensive backs, all this guys. Man, they're playing
Speaker 1: playing so well. I was gonna pick a B, but
Speaker 1: I think you should pick him for this one. I think, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't see three zero on here, So he has
Speaker 1: three picks in zero smelly stickers. I wonder who's Oh wait, no,
Speaker 1: there is one three zero. But I think it was robbed.
Speaker 1: I gave it to him because it had the pineapple
Speaker 1: on it. I actually did. So it's okay, no, stop it.
Speaker 1: We should put our inities. I don't know if I
Speaker 1: believe you either. We should start putting our initials on
Speaker 1: that bigger deal. Guys. Okay, I've been giving mine today. Okay,
Speaker 1: you have to get down of that. Oh goodness, what
Speaker 1: else stuck out from the defense did? What did Dan
Speaker 1: quin Quinn do. Specifically from a game playing side of things,
Speaker 1: Isaiah that that really kept at Lanta off balance, Like
Speaker 1: how did he confuse him? What were some of the
Speaker 1: scheme ideas that he threw out there? Um, I think
Speaker 1: he just downloaded their software. Man. I think they actually
Speaker 1: came out with a pretty good game plan right off
Speaker 1: the back. They were moving the ball early on, and uh,
Speaker 1: you know, after Kyle Pitts had a couple had a
Speaker 1: couple of catches, after Patterson lined up at the receiver
Speaker 1: position instead of the running back position, I think those
Speaker 1: guys figured out real quick. I think Atlanta had their
Speaker 1: first fifteen laid out, and after that they didn't really
Speaker 1: have They gonna have nothing else. So I think their
Speaker 1: first fifteen were probably better than our first fifteen. But
Speaker 1: after that we adapted. We adapted in our and I
Speaker 1: think he coached Quinn challenged our defensive backs to be sticky.
Speaker 1: Simply be sticky. Yes, sir, after seeing Micah put that
Speaker 1: move from the edge on the right tackle, did it
Speaker 1: just like did you have that aha moment when you
Speaker 1: saw that? I mean no, I mean listen listening. We
Speaker 1: can go back to he's trying. We can go back
Speaker 1: to all Ship, I said, champstand, we can go back
Speaker 1: to all the all the podcasts that we've ever done here.
Speaker 1: I've never said that Mica is not a good defensive
Speaker 1: I've never said that Mica is not an impact player.
Speaker 1: I just said I prefer to have Micah at the
Speaker 1: second level rather than playing on the defensive line, reason
Speaker 1: being he plays more snaps, he can impact more areas
Speaker 1: of the game. Is he impact by the defensive in
Speaker 1: apps freaking lutely, appolt freakingly, he's impactful, But I think
Speaker 1: it's a greater risk for him to get injured at
Speaker 1: that position, and I think it's easier for a team
Speaker 1: to take him out at that position. Not to say
Speaker 1: that he can't be effective, but he's not at that
Speaker 1: position if we don't have both of our freaking all
Speaker 1: pro guys not present. I think they figured out the
Speaker 1: right role for him, to be honest with you, Like
Speaker 1: he's a linebacker, but he's gonna move around and on
Speaker 1: third down there's gonna be some pressure package stuff for him,
Speaker 1: whether it's off the edge, whether it's a gap B gap,
Speaker 1: mug in that area. Uh, Like, that's that's his. As
Speaker 1: Dan Quinn would say, that's his superpower, Like he can
Speaker 1: do anything you need him to do whether and look,
Speaker 1: they needed him sometimes to be off the ball because
Speaker 1: their biggest threats and god, I mean Corrill Patterson Kyle
Speaker 1: Pitts accounted for almost all of their production throughout most
Speaker 1: of that game. When you've got guys in space who
Speaker 1: can hurt you, he's good being off the ball in
Speaker 1: some situations. So I think I think they that's why
Speaker 1: they were hesitant when he was so successful in that
Speaker 1: Chargers game. Dan Quinn kept saying, Look, we don't want
Speaker 1: to get away from what he can do at linebacker.
Speaker 1: He's just he's too versatile, and so I don't it's
Speaker 1: a fun debate, but I just think in the end
Speaker 1: he's gonna do everything a little bit of both. Yeah. Oh,
Speaker 1: he is special and you can see it at for
Speaker 1: a rookie. If he's not you're a vote for a
Speaker 1: defensive player, the rookie defensive player of the year, then
Speaker 1: something's wrong with you. It was a tackle for a
Speaker 1: loss also, you know, I believe it was on Wayne Gallman,
Speaker 1: and you know, you just see his closing speed and
Speaker 1: what he does. It doesn't it doesn't matter. You say,
Speaker 1: like him. Maybe they could scheme up for him if
Speaker 1: he's on the edge. I don't think that there's a
Speaker 1: way for you to scheme up no for him, because
Speaker 1: of his speed, the way that he plays, he's such
Speaker 1: an electric guy off the edge and also mugg in
Speaker 1: the a gap. It's a lot of the things that
Speaker 1: he does is just special. There were a couple of
Speaker 1: plays that he made, especially in run defense, where Atlanta
Speaker 1: tried to get to the edge, tried to get to
Speaker 1: the numbers and he was on the edge and he
Speaker 1: set the edge so well, it's not going to show
Speaker 1: up in the statue. Could There's about three plays I
Speaker 1: remember looking at saying that was Michael Parsons. That was
Speaker 1: Michael Parson and that was edge containment. You could say
Speaker 1: it was maybe their biggest problem on defense and last week,
Speaker 1: aside from just overall just getting just getting beat in
Speaker 1: the run game and getting beat physically and not being
Speaker 1: physical enough. And Atlanta had just no no rhythm on offense.
Speaker 1: I mean you mentioned Patterson, Cordarol Patterson twenty five rushing
Speaker 1: yards on four carries. He had one reception on two
Speaker 1: targets for fourteen yards. Non factors. Gallman was the leading rusher.
Speaker 1: He had fifty five and a lot of that came
Speaker 1: in the second half because he didn't play in the
Speaker 1: first half. And the Cowboys were really worried about Patterson,
Speaker 1: Like I know for a fact, they felt like he
Speaker 1: was as good of a player with the ball in
Speaker 1: his hands as anybody they had face to this point
Speaker 1: in the season. He's there, he's their offensive Michael Parcels, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's called how it is that Dud's been in the
Speaker 1: league for eight years and this is the first team
Speaker 1: to really recognize how to utilize him up to the
Speaker 1: up to now he's been he's been listed as a receiver,
Speaker 1: but he's really a return man. I mean, he was
Speaker 1: third in scrimmage yards in the NFL and the week
Speaker 1: first to the NFC. So you don't get to that
Speaker 1: by just being a dude. No, you don't get to
Speaker 1: that by being just a guy. And I mean the
Speaker 1: Cowboys made him just a guy on Sunday, and now
Speaker 1: that's exciting they did. They've now done that to what
Speaker 1: Austin Ekeler had his lumps. I guess, but Dalvin Cook
Speaker 1: certainly was not Dalvin Cook. Cordarrell Patterson was definitely not
Speaker 1: Cordell Patterson. Who that's fun things to think about. Now
Speaker 1: they've got to do it with like seven guys coming
Speaker 1: up this weekend. All right, whenever we come back, we're
Speaker 1: gonna give some smelly stickers out here on Talking Cowboys

Speaker 1: giving out basically helmet stickers. Last year we were virtual
Speaker 1: and we did every show on Zoom and we gave
Speaker 1: out virtual smelly stickers. Didn't do that. I'm trying to
Speaker 1: explain this quiet thank you, Okay, So in doing that.
Speaker 1: The helmet stickers are given out to a player of
Speaker 1: the game. For every win that the Cowboys have, each
Speaker 1: of us give out a smelly sticker, and it basically
Speaker 1: came from who said it first? Was it you? Yeah?
Speaker 1: You said it first? Course we earned him a scratches
Speaker 1: smith the smelly sticker. We'll cocky there, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: And which one are you giving your smelly sticker too?
Speaker 1: This week? Keck my hair's all right? Well, well I
Speaker 1: want to zoom Chris Beam, if you could zoom in

Speaker 1: It was upset down talking your mike is Chris, Okay,
Speaker 1: I want you to my doughnut, says I love you.
Speaker 1: Hadn't had a donut in a while. Well, I sure
Speaker 1: miss him, but I'm gonna give my smelly sticker to
Speaker 1: one Anthony Brown. Never never never doubted you, dog never
Speaker 1: doubted you a b that's for you. Do. I love
Speaker 1: you right here on top, never doubted as all the
Speaker 1: way back to training camp, no doubt. Yeah, okay, I
Speaker 1: love it. Had a pick yesterday, three picks on the
Speaker 1: year for Anthony. All right, isaih who you got? Well,
Speaker 1: this is a great win. Collective effort, all three phases,
Speaker 1: no doubt. There's a gentleman that I have high regard
Speaker 1: and high respect to, super respect for. He used to
Speaker 1: be my coach. Now he's a coach of Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 1: His name is Dan Quinn. And we talked so much
Speaker 1: about killing Moore being into his bag. You see who
Speaker 1: do I have right here? Little pineapple man right there
Speaker 1: with a backpack on. He brought his bag, went in
Speaker 1: his bag, and now he's taking his back home. Well, hello,
Speaker 1: dan Quinn, you're welcome. I like that in his bag.
Speaker 1: Now he stopped that. People. D q DQ's earned a
Speaker 1: couple smelly stickers this year. That's what I like about Texas.
Speaker 1: All right, they're a sponsor. No, I didn't say the name.
Speaker 1: I just said. I just said I like Texas. What
Speaker 1: is that? This reminds me kind of reminds me of
Speaker 1: my little munchkin at home going down the slide. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go It's peach peach. There we go, There we go.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with you. Got a theme going here.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna let you derail me. We got a
Speaker 1: theme here. Defense. I'm going to Jordan Lewis, he played
Speaker 1: thirty six snaps, Kyle, get it together, Buddy. Three pass
Speaker 1: breakups and an interception. Not bad for slot corner work,
Speaker 1: which is not every snap of the game. So Jordan Lewis,
Speaker 1: dan Quinn, Anthony Brown, Atlanta Falcons, Georgia, I'll see what
Speaker 1: you did. I'm gonna do this, Oh man, which one
Speaker 1: do I want to do? I hear? I got you here?
Speaker 1: How about Ezekiel Elliott had not gotten back in the
Speaker 1: end zone since Week five of the NFL season, and
Speaker 1: he did it twice. So he's got a couple of
Speaker 1: cherries with the two touchdowns. But it wasn't just the
Speaker 1: touchdowns that earned him that smelly stickers. What he was
Speaker 1: able to do as a blocker. He did it in
Speaker 1: your short yarded situations. He did it at the goal line.
Speaker 1: How about that, Ezekiel Elliott earns my smelly sticker this week?
Speaker 1: And that is the four only? Oh wait, what was that? Okay,
Speaker 1: so the defense earned three and the offense gets one.
Speaker 1: We were tweeted at prior to the show, and it
Speaker 1: was it was basically like Oprah. It was like just
Speaker 1: everybody gets a sticker, because he really could have given
Speaker 1: it to anybody. You get one, and you get one,
Speaker 1: and you get one, you get one, you get one.
Speaker 1: And it was hard to kind of pick just four
Speaker 1: guys here, but I think we did a pretty good
Speaker 1: job of outlining it. Treyvon Digs with another interception. The
Speaker 1: Cowboys with a thirty three point lead at halftime. It's
Speaker 1: the first time they've led by thirty three points or
Speaker 1: more since nineteen seventy one at halftime, just a few
Speaker 1: years ago. Yeah, it was seven hundred and seventy four.
Speaker 1: Teens at fourteen then, well year seventy one. Wow, somebody's
Speaker 1: older than I am across the table. That was a shot. Hell,
Speaker 1: I mean you got the gray y. No, I wouldn't
Speaker 1: around the seventy one. So don't try me, Pete, don't
Speaker 1: try me be a little joking joke. Let's go out
Speaker 1: r P over here, right. Oh, you want to go
Speaker 1: outside and do something you wanna do? You wanna go outside,
Speaker 1: you wanna put shoes on, you wanna go out side
Speaker 1: and run something down? Oh God, that you said something down.
Speaker 1: Okay for you, I'll tag in for you. Okay, I
Speaker 1: bet you will. I bet you. I'll take it for you.

Speaker 1: since Halloween? Yeah, you think you don't think it was
Speaker 1: better than the Minnesota win? No? Why is that? Because
