23
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 5: you guys forgot about that, go pull that up on YouTube.

24
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 5: But yeah, they took care of business man smacked up.

25
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 5: The Washington Commanders looked like it was gonna be close

26
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:42,479
Speaker 5: there for a second, and then they.

27
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,479
Speaker 1: Just took off. Yeah, just absolutely took off with it.

28
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 2: There was a moment where we were fighting the itis

29
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 2: after getting some of Isaiah's smoked mac and cheese, getting.

30
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 5: So good it was, I made a couple of alterations

31
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 5: and yeah, it was very good, well.

32
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 2: Thought, but we were we were finishing up Thanksgiving dinner

33
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 2: and just kind of and the end of the third quarter.

34
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 2: It was the end of the third quarter when it

35
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 2: was twenty to ten, and we were all looking at

36
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 2: each other as me, you Berry and Natean were like,

37
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 2: what are we going to talk about?

38
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: This game hasn't.

39
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 2: Really no flare to it, zero flare, And then all

40
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 2: the flair happened in the fourth quarter twenty five points

41
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 2: put up by the Cowboys, And I think there's a

42
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 2: bit of maybe false maybe not false hope, but false

43
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 2: a false sense of security and the fact that they

44
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 2: did perform as well as they did in just the

45
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 2: final quarter as opposed to what they did over the

46
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 2: course of the game. But it goes back to what

47
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 2: we've talked about over the last three or four weeks,

48
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 2: is this is a team that is playing games they

49
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 2: should win against teams they should beat, and all you've

50
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 2: got to do is check these boxes along the way,

51
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 2: and they continue to check the boxes.

52
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 5: They have checked the boxes, and I know that's the

53
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 5: topic of discussion right now, and I know in particularly,

54
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 5: I think dan Orlowski on ESPN made a comment about

55
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 5: how the Cowboys haven't played anybody, how they haven't played

56
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 5: how they haven't beat any teams with a record over

57
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 5: five hundred, and that was the discussion pretty much saying that, hey, Dallas,

58
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,839
Speaker 5: you can't put Dallas on this pedestal because they their

59
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,399
Speaker 5: competition hasn't necessarily been up to par with those other

60
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 5: teams that you would classify as.

61
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: Elite in this league right now.

62
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 5: And to that, I say, we don't control the schedule.

63
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 5: The Dallas Cowboys don't control who they play. What they

64
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 5: do control is the result of who they play. And

65
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 5: people are going to look back at at some of

66
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 5: the games that they've dropped against the San Francisco and

67
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 5: particularly the Philadelphia Eagles. Those are two of the teams,

68
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 5: I would say, probably the top five teams in the

69
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 5: league that people are going to compare Dallas to. When

70
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 5: they started talking about this level of hierarchy, and whether

71
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 5: or not they're in this elite status. And yes, they

72
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 5: learned something from both of those games. I think that

73
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 5: the forty nine Ers game was an eye opener for them,

74
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 5: and I believe that the Eagles game helped them to

75
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 5: realize how much closer they were following that forty nine

76
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 5: Ers loss, right, how much room they covered in terms

77
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 5: of the differential between them and the level of competition

78
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 5: that people classify as elite.

79
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: They closed that gap.

80
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 5: But now as you go forward and you start playing games, right, yeah,

81
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,679
Speaker 5: you're facing some of the worst teams in the NFL,

82
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 5: but you're doing what you need to do to handle

83
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 5: them and to check the boxes to your point that

84
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 5: you needed to check. Right, you started running the ball

85
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:25,919
Speaker 5: more effectively, you started getting your playmakers a ball in

86
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 5: their hand, dacks being more efficient, You're handling your red

87
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 5: zone problems that you had to begin in a year.

88
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 5: You're getting your tight ends involved, like all these things

89
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 5: that you needed to do early on in the season.

90
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 5: Now you're going down this list and you're literally just

91
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 5: checking them off. And that's what you do with these games.

92
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 5: If you can play better teams, you would play better teams.

93
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,359
Speaker 5: But guess what this is what it is. This is

94
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 5: what's in your lap. How can we improve during this

95
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,359
Speaker 5: part of our season to help propel us for the

96
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 5: second half of the season, which we know will be

97
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 5: more difficult.

98
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 2: Well, you look at even some of the boxes that

99
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 2: were not checked previously at all. Like you said, tight

100
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 2: ends confidence level and your weapon, your wide receivers, UH,

101
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 2: pass protection from a guy like Tony Pollard. Tony Pollard's

102
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 2: turned into he has a great block phenomenal pass protector,

103
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 2: which if you're if you're not watching the All twenty two,

104
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 2: and I don't blame me if you're not, I mean

105
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 2: that's just part of it. If you're not watching the

106
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 2: All twenty two, you might have the general sense of, oh,

107
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 2: Tony Pollard is not a good pass.

108
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a phenomenal pass blocker.

109
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 2: He's been fantastic this year, and you got to give

110
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 2: credit where credit is due because he's he's built that

111
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 2: element of his game and he's also become a more

112
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 2: physical runner at the same time. So there's there's ways

113
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 2: that this team has evolved. Yes, and yes, they are

114
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 2: playing teams below five hundred, that's just part of it.

115
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 2: Control they've only played two teams above five hundred, and

116
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 2: they've got a chance to beat one this week against Seattle.

117
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 2: They've got a chance to maybe make a statement at home,

118
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 2: keep the wins win streak at AT and T Stadium rolling.

119
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: But you've got to take.

120
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 2: Advantage the way that they have against these smaller teams,

121
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 2: these these below five hundred teams, because they're not barely

122
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 2: winning these games.

123
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: They are blowing teams out.

124
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 2: I mean, this is the sixth game, seventh game, six

125
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,119
Speaker 2: or seventh game where they've had twenty points or more

126
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 2: in their victory. It's incredible they're what they're doing. This

127
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 2: is the NFL, this is in college, This is in college.

128
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,559
Speaker 2: The seventh game by twenty points or more in twenty

129
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 2: twenty three. That's tied with the nineteen sixty eight Cowboys

130
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 2: team for most such games in franchise history. The last

131
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 2: team in the NFL to win seven games by twenty

132
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 2: points or more was the two thousand and seven Patriots.

133
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 2: You might remember those two thousand and seventh Patriots pretty good.

134
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 2: They were undefeated going into the Super Bowl before losing

135
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 2: to the Giants. So it's pretty impressive what they're doing.

136
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, I just don't really I mean again, I don't

137
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 5: really care to really address.

138
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: It too much.

139
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,599
Speaker 5: But I don't know what people's expectations are of the

140
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 5: Cowboys right now. If you're handling your opponents like this,

141
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 5: if the first part of your season is when you

142
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 5: face the better teams, yeah, and you you have Obviously

143
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 5: he got smacked in mouth. Okay, there's no no if

144
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 5: ans and buts about that. You got smacked in the mouth.

145
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 5: And then you close that gap and you lost a

146
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 5: tight game to your to your divisional woes. Now you

147
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 5: know where you're at, and now you take those things

148
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 5: for you take those life lessons from those games. You

149
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 5: go back, you critique those things, You address all the

150
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 5: areas that you needed to improve upon, and now all

151
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 5: of a sudden, you've improved even more.

152
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: You're not giving up sacks, right, you're not turning.

153
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 5: The ball over, You're you're all your playmakers that you

154
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 5: that you need to make plays are starting to make plays.

155
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: You get into involvement.

156
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 5: Guys are the officer coordinator, slash head coach, whatever you

157
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 5: want to call him. Right, he has figured out his

158
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 5: groove in this offense, and things are just clicking.

159
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: And then obviously you click. You go to the.

160
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 5: Defensive side of the ball. You've lost two of your

161
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 5: Pro Bowl starters. You've lost two of your starters, but

162
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 5: yet you've found a way to steal force turnovers and that,

163
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 5: and people don't want to give credit to it, regardless

164
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 5: of the level of competition. To your point, called these

165
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 5: guys are professional athletes. You still have to go out

166
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 5: there and make plays. You still have assignments that you

167
00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 5: have to do. You still have to dominate your opponent,

168
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 5: and you just have to go out there and take

169
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 5: care of business. And as we started talking about Deron Bland,

170
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 5: look at what he's done, Look at what he's done,

171
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 5: Look at with his coaching staff, you know, and Al

172
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 5: Harris has done with that room, and how he's developed

173
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 5: that player, and how he's how far along he's come

174
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 5: since the time from his college. What he did in

175
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 5: college where where he had five interceptions of all the colleges, right,

176
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 5: and then they have five interceptions as a rookie yep.

177
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 5: Now he has seven interceptions as a second year player.

178
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 5: Five of those were ran back. Come on, now, people

179
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 5: understand it's insane, right. So the development of what these

180
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 5: coaches are doing in these rooms. You talk about Tony

181
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 5: Poller and how he's improved. People are gonna look at

182
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 5: his stats and say, yeah, Tony Pouler's you know, he's

183
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 5: not rushing the way he needs to. And I don't

184
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 5: think that's because of a lack of his abilities. I

185
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 5: think it's under utilization, much like it was with Brandon Cooks.

186
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 5: It wasn't Brandon Cooks couldn't make the plays. Brandon Cooks

187
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 5: can't run routes, he can't get the ball. No, they

188
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 5: just weren't giving him the ball. When they decided to

189
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 5: give him the ball, what do you do? Went off

190
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 5: for one hundred and seventy yards. Okay, so that's what happened.

191
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 5: Then he follows it up in scores again. Right, So

192
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 5: it's un utilization. But while in that under utilization, instead

193
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 5: of getting frustrated, Tony Potter looks at it and says, Okay,

194
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 5: here's an opportunity for me to improve the aspects of

195
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:10,839
Speaker 5: my game that people perceive me as not being very

196
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 5: good at. So let me improve my blocking. I wasn't

197
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,719
Speaker 5: the blocking guy. That was Ezekiel Elliot's job.

198
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: That was his role.

199
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 5: But in order for me to be a number one

200
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,679
Speaker 5: back in this league and to prove that I'm worth anything.

201
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 5: I have to improve on my blocking. So what are

202
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 5: we doing. We're sitting there watching the games. This dude

203
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 5: is shooting the knees out from blitzing linebackers and giving

204
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 5: Dak all the time. He needs to sit back there,

205
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 5: not feel the pressure, not get sacked. Officeive line is

206
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 5: doing a good job. We talked about Terrence Steele and

207
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 5: his issues that he had a couple weeks ago, and

208
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 5: everybody was like, Oh, did we overpay this guy? Did

209
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 5: we do it too early? And what did Terrance still do?

210
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 5: He just went back, watched the film, corrected it worked

211
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 5: with the office line coach. They took care of their assignments,

212
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 5: and now all of a sudden, nobody's getting by this guy.

213
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:49,719
Speaker 1: Whatsoever?

214
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 5: Right the interior offense, we talked about Tyler Bioters, talkt

215
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 5: about Zach Martin and how that right side of the

216
00:09:55,600 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 5: line was struggling. I don't hadn't seen since then, right

217
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 5: those guys. Last time I checked, Washington still has Thebama

218
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 5: Boys on the inside, and Obama boys didn't didn't have

219
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 5: any pressure. So everything that you can control outside of

220
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 5: your schedule, you are controlling. And they're getting better and

221
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 5: I'm looking forward to them starting to face tough tumpet

222
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 5: competition through the rest of the season.

223
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, you mentioned the offensive line and Tony Polly. We'll

224
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 2: talk about that in the second segment.

225
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 1: But we got to talk about the rom player. Oh,

226
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: let's talk about it. But he's done.

227
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 2: I mean you could hear the excitement from from Jim

228
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 2: Nance in the call. I mean, NFL history is one thing.

229
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: This was.

230
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 2: I mean the fact that it's been eleven games and

231
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 2: he's already had five interceptions return for a touchdown.

232
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,559
Speaker 1: My wife asked me about it the other day.

233
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:46,199
Speaker 2: She was like, so, there's never been a player in

234
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 2: NFL history that's had five pick six is in a season.

235
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 2: She was like, I feel like that's that should be off,

236
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 2: that should be wrong.

237
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 1: I was like, well, if you.

238
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 2: Think about it, if you have five interceptions, you're among

239
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 2: the league leaders in interceptions.

240
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 1: If you have five picks in a year, an incredible year. Picks, yep.

241
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 1: If you return any more than one back, that's a

242
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: good year. If you have two or three pick sixes,

243
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: that's a phenomenal year. Nobody, I mean only like, what

244
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:13,559
Speaker 1: was it four guys?

245
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,959
Speaker 2: Now five guys have had four pick sixes in a

246
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 2: season and there's only one that has five. And what

247
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 2: Debron Bland is doing, and he hasn't been perfect. He's

248
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 2: at his lumps. That's part of the nature of the

249
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 2: cornerback position. But he is such a weapon whenever you

250
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 2: have somebody who can take it back to the house.

251
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 2: And you could tell whenever he picked that ball off,

252
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 2: he wasn't going to be denied. He was not going

253
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 2: to be taken to the ground. He shook out Sam Howe.

254
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 2: Then he splits in between Brian Robinson and I can't

255
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 2: remember who the other Washington commander was split right through.

256
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know how he made that happen. It

257
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 5: was a phenomenal move. But people are trying to write

258
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 5: that off because of the level competition that Dallas has faced, right,

259
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 5: and he's just getting gimme's right. Okay, this dude has

260
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 5: had an interception in over of his games.

261
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 1: That's insane. Over forty of his twenty eight games.

262
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 5: This dude has a pick if the you know the

263
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 5: way to average, which is absolutely insane. So you start

264
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 5: talking about dominant cornerbacks in this league, you start talking

265
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 5: about defensive players of the year.

266
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:19,839
Speaker 1: I don't care how.

267
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 5: Small of a name he might may have been. I

268
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 5: don't care where he was drafted at. Yep, this dude

269
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 5: is at the top of the league in terms of defenders.

270
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 5: Regardless of the position. This dude is up for Defensive

271
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 5: Player of the Year. He has to be in that conversation.

272
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 5: They need to put some respect on it. If they

273
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 5: don't want to put respect on it, He's going to

274
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 5: keep making them pay until they do.

275
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 1: From the three Toho eight, this is Champ from the

276
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: three toa. He said, new nickname for Deron Bland. He said, mister,

277
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 1: steal your ball. Steal your ball.

278
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:53,839
Speaker 5: It's it's crazy, man. The next man up is such

279
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 5: a cliche in this league. And it's not even just

280
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:58,559
Speaker 5: this league, right, you go all the way down to

281
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 5: the little league, right, all coaches said next man up,

282
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,439
Speaker 5: next man up. But this dude takes it to heart.

283
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 5: Last year, this dude was the fourth cornerback on this roster. Yeah,

284
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 5: depth chart wise, and then what happens. Jay Lou goes down.

285
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 5: What does he do steps into the fold as a

286
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,359
Speaker 5: rookie right after not playing what the first.

287
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 1: Ten games something like that? Is that what it was?

288
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 5: And not playing the first teen game steps in and

289
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,839
Speaker 5: pick pick pick pick pick, five picks and five picks

290
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 5: in the on the year. And now he comes back,

291
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 5: he's the what again, Jay Lou comes back. He's now

292
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 5: again the fourth, the fourth defensive pack on his roster.

293
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,559
Speaker 5: This time Trayvon Days goes down, so he says, don't

294
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 5: worry about it. I know I normally played the slot,

295
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 5: but I got you guys, I'm gonna bump outside.

296
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 1: I'll help out.

297
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 5: Not any of the other guys. I'm not talking about

298
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,439
Speaker 5: Nashan right, not talking about Israel Mukwam. But we're not

299
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 5: talking about Eriscott Junior, none of these other guys. We're

300
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 5: talking about somebody who plays the nickelback, bumps outside and

301
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 5: does what he's doing this year against anybody who steps

302
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 5: out against him. I don't care who lines up across

303
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 5: from this guy. This dude is taking care of business

304
00:13:58,080 --> 00:13:59,839
Speaker 5: and they're paying for it, man, and I just love

305
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:01,679
Speaker 5: to it. And you talk about somebody who deserves it,

306
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 5: who's humble, who just works and puts in his time

307
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 5: and puts in his effort.

308
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:06,319
Speaker 1: We watching him at training.

309
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 5: Camp and all he does is just sitting in the

310
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 5: hipocket and Al Harris and Trayvon Diggs and just get

311
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 5: wisdom all day long, and he just goes out there

312
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 5: and applies it man, and that he is like the

313
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 5: He is the definition of a professional. Even in this

314
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 5: second year of his career.

315
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 2: It's incredible what he's doing.

316
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: And I think the.

317
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 2: Conversation now shifts to should he be in the defensive

318
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 2: player conversation? We talked about it a little bit last week.

319
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 2: I think now he's squarely in that conversation. First defensive

320
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 2: player to score or first non offensive player to score

321
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 2: five touchdowns in a season since JJ Watt.

322
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 1: In twenty fourteen.

323
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 2: If you go back to twenty fourteen and you remember

324
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 2: what JJ Watt was doing, he was second in MVP

325
00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 2: voting behind Aaron Rodgers who won the MVP. He was

326
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 2: ahead of DeMarco Murray in that season. And you remember

327
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 2: the type of season that DeMarco Murray had where he

328
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 2: had eighteen hundred rushing yards and thirteen rushing touchdowns, but

329
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 2: JJ Watt was second. He had he had a twenty

330
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 2: six percent share of the votes behind Aaron Rodgers in

331
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 2: the MVP voting. Of course, he did win Defensive Player

332
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 2: of the Year, and I get Miles Garrett and what

333
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 2: Miles Garrett is doing with Cleveland right now. And the

334
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 2: sacks are there, and there's a legitimate conversation for what

335
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 2: Miles Garrett has done, But the sacks happened twenty Unless

336
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 2: you're getting close to breaking NFL sack records, I don't

337
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 2: think you can really compare the two. And especially with

338
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 2: eleven games left that Deron blank continues on this pace

339
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 2: that he's on, he could have six or seven pick six.

340
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 5: Especial question Cole of course, at this point in the season,

341
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 5: would you consider Ceedee Lamb.

342
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 1: In all proh? Yeah, yeah, actually I totally would. How

343
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 1: many touchdowns of Ceedee Lamb have six? Or is he

344
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: have five? He has five? Wow? Yeah? So just some

345
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: people out there understand what I'm getting at.

346
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 5: Cedeelamb has seventy four receptions of one thousand yards and

347
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 5: a thousand and thirteen yards of being exact and five

348
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 5: receiving touchdowns. Darron Bland has five receiving touchdowns.

349
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 2: That was those were his stats going into six touchdownsown, but.

350
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: He has one thousand and sixty six same thing.

351
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 5: Though, Same thing though, I mean, so he's your second

352
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 5: leading Yeah, receiving, He's not a receiver. But he's received

353
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 5: these touchdowns now because he's intercepted them out the air

354
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 5: from opposing quarterbacks. People have to just understand how difficult

355
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 5: this is. You don't just fall into position. I hope

356
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 5: people go back and watch. It was the last week.

357
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 5: It was the week before we did Deron blam breakdown

358
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 5: on film Room, right last week. It was it last week, Kay,

359
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 5: go back and go to the Cowboys YouTube page and

360
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 5: look up film Room, And it was last week where

361
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 5: we broke down how Deron Bland is making these plays.

362
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 5: This is not He's fell into one interception. One interception

363
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,360
Speaker 5: has fell into his lap. Yeah, that was his first

364
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 5: interception against And then in week one, that was when

365
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 5: when Trayvon laid the wood on saekuon Barkley. The ball

366
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 5: popped up while they were in cover two zone and

367
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 5: literally fell in place. Johnny on the spot playing in

368
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:24,959
Speaker 5: his zone, the ball fell in his lap. He ran

369
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 5: back for a touchdown. Outside of that, people have tried

370
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 5: him and they've paid dearly. So four of those seven sorry,

371
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 5: let me run that back, six of those seven interceptions

372
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 5: he worked for them. Yeah, he broke on the ball.

373
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 5: He made a heck of a play. He jumped up

374
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:42,439
Speaker 5: and grabbed one. I think that was a toss up

375
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:44,159
Speaker 5: that people can kind of say, oh, that one kind

376
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 5: of fell in his lap, all right, he went at

377
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 5: high point at that, So take away two interceptions if

378
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:49,120
Speaker 5: you want to, right, he.

379
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 1: Still has five.

380
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 5: He still has five if you want to discredit him

381
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 5: for the other two plays that kind of failed his way.

382
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 5: This dude is working his butt off. This dude is

383
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,439
Speaker 5: absolute beast And if you haven't watched the video yet.

384
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 1: He is.

385
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,399
Speaker 5: His closing speed is what's really allowing him to make

386
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 5: these plays. He is it's almost like baiting somebody, but

387
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 5: he's I don't know if he's intentionally baiting them or

388
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 5: if they just see that there's space between the defensive

389
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 5: back him and the receiver and they're like, oh, I

390
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 5: can get the ball there and around. Blann is like,

391
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 5: not so fast, my friend, And he just closes what

392
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 5: appears to be a two yard differential between the runner

393
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 5: the receiver at the top of their route and where

394
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,120
Speaker 5: he's at, and he closes that gap. And not only

395
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 5: is he closing that gap in the two yard gaps,

396
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 5: he's closing it three yards by stepping in front of

397
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 5: receiver intercepting it and running it back and his closing

398
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 5: speed is absolutely insane.

399
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:35,640
Speaker 1: Man.

400
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 2: If eligible, dron Bland would be currently tied for fourteenth

401
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 2: in the league for receiving touchdowns, the only players with

402
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,719
Speaker 2: more receiving touchdowns. And this is it's a list. I mean,

403
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 2: it's a longer list. They're thirteen names above him.

404
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 1: But it's a list that's pretty impressive. About those guys

405
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 1: get paid to receive the ball, that.

406
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:58,880
Speaker 2: Catch the football for money in the NFL, Tyreek Kill,

407
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 2: Courtland Sutton, Keenan, Allen Stefan Diggs, Mike Evans, Jordan Addison,

408
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 2: Romeo Dobbs, c d Lamb, aj Brown, DJ Moore, Jamar

409
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:14,360
Speaker 2: Chase Tank, Dell and Mark Andrews. Those are the only

410
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 2: players in the NFL that have more receiving touchdowns.

411
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 1: Than what Deron Bland has from a sixth stands.

412
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 5: So what you're saying is, if you could put a

413
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 5: cornerback on your fantasy football lineup, he'd be all He

414
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 5: would be a starter, a weekly starter for you because

415
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 5: of the probability of him getting a pick six easy.

416
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,640
Speaker 1: It'd be easy money.

417
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:43,360
Speaker 2: Also, if we're talking about the sack leaders in the NFL,

418
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 2: right now, and if we're talking about these guys being

419
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 2: the number one competition for Deron Bland being Defensive Player

420
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 2: of the Year, TJ.

421
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 1: Watt leads the way with.

422
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 2: Thirteen and a half sacks. Right now, he has thirteen

423
00:19:57,960 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 2: and a half sacks. He's the one that leads the way,

424
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 2: followed by Khalil Mack with thirteen, Miles Garrett with thirteen.

425
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 2: Would you rather have thirteen sacks or five defensive touchdowns?

426
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 5: I'll put it to you this way, Kyle. I'll answer

427
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:15,399
Speaker 5: your question with this stat. With another stat, thirteen and

428
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,159
Speaker 5: a half sacks is leading the NFL right now?

429
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 1: Correct? Correct?

430
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 5: In order to break the sack record, yeah, you need that.

431
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,639
Speaker 5: You need twenty three sacks, correct to break the record.

432
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 5: To break it, to break it, Dern Blam's already broken

433
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 5: the interception return for touchdown record.

434
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 6: Correct.

435
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 1: Yep.

436
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 5: So he's already what was what's been on the record books.

437
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 5: He's already broken that, already passed it, already surpassed it

438
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 5: out of it. But yet these other guys that they're

439
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 5: compare him to are chasing something that's already pre existing.

440
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. I'm just just just wondering if that's I think

441
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 1: You're right, Okay, I really do. I think if.

442
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 2: The one thing that's going to be against them is

443
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 2: because of the name, because of the when some of

444
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 2: these pick sixes have happened in the games, it hasn't

445
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 2: been in crucial moments slight that what's going to go

446
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 2: against him?

447
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,119
Speaker 1: And this I hate it much. You need to be

448
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 1: more Now. This is my opinion, but I'm sure most

449
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: guys who played in the NFL with back this opinion.

450
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 5: It is substantially more difficult to get a pick six

451
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 5: in this NFL than it.

452
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,640
Speaker 1: Is to get a sack. Yeah, not even close.

453
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 5: Not even close. Yeah, not even close. Seven interceptions, five

454
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:24,399
Speaker 5: ran back.

455
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:25,360
Speaker 1: Yeah.

456
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 2: Well, and imagine if he let's say he doesn't get

457
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:29,360
Speaker 2: another pick six all year.

458
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 1: He doesn't.

459
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 2: And by the way, somebody uh texted just a couple

460
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 2: of moments ago and said, I'm foreseeing Blane getting two

461
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:36,679
Speaker 2: more pick sixes.

462
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 1: By the way, dude, I see.

463
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 5: My projection was him was this pick six going to

464
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 5: be in? Was gonna be in a Philadelphia game? You

465
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 5: remember that on last show I said I he was

466
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 5: gonna get the piss six in Philadelphia.

467
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,199
Speaker 1: So I was off by some games.

468
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was off I was, I was, Yeah, my

469
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:52,679
Speaker 5: fault run, but I didn't put respect.

470
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,439
Speaker 1: On any d darn it. Dang it.

471
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 2: But if let's say he doesn't have a pick six

472
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 2: the rest of the way, but he gets three more

473
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 2: picks just in general.

474
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:01,479
Speaker 1: He better win.

475
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 2: That's ten interceptions in five picks six.

476
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 5: Listen, the only way that I can foresee him the

477
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 5: only way that they can justify I'll put it this

478
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 5: way because I'm gonna go ahead and put him in

479
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,640
Speaker 5: front of this conversation. Sure, the only way they can

480
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 5: justify him not getting Defensive Player of the Year at

481
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 5: this point is if he has a tremendous fall off,

482
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 5: not even talking about just interceptions. He doesn't have to

483
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 5: get any more interceptions, right, it would help his case.

484
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,679
Speaker 5: But if guys just start running routes, catching balls all

485
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 5: over him, right in, his percentage of passes completed against

486
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 5: him goal substantially down. H I could see that being

487
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 5: a case. And or somebody breaks the sack record. Outside

488
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 5: of that, I can't see it. If somebody hits twenty

489
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 5: sacks on the season and Deron Blank goes out there

490
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 5: and says he say he gets one more pick and

491
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 5: he has eight picks on the year and five ran

492
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 5: back for touchdowns, Like, how can you give that to

493
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 5: somebody else? He's already broken the record. Yeah, he can't

494
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,399
Speaker 5: control what the record was. But there's been some damn

495
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 5: good defensive backs in his league. It's a really good one. Actually,

496
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:03,680
Speaker 5: some I played here. Yeah, Yeah, considered to be the greatest. Yeah,

497
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 5: and he didn't do this.

498
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 2: No, nobody's done it, nobody, nobody. It's incredible what he's doing,

499
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,239
Speaker 2: and I think Cowboys Nation understands it.

500
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 1: Uh.

501
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 2: He's turned into a fan favorite by far, just because

502
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:17,399
Speaker 2: of how exciting.

503
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 1: It is, how humble he is.

504
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 2: He's one of my favorite athletes I've ever covered any sport,

505
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 2: any level.

506
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: Ever since we did the Rookie Premiere.

507
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's been phenomenal ever since. Uh, and he hasn't

508
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 2: changed either. That's the coolest part is Yeah, you and

509
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,120
Speaker 2: I got to I got to do his thirty visit

510
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 2: interview and talked with him at the thirty visit interview.

511
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 2: I need to go back and find that the So

512
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 2: we did the thirty visit Yeah, pull a recip. Uh,

513
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 2: did the thirty visit interview, and then did the draft calls,

514
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 2: and then we did the Rookie premiere together and.

515
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:47,880
Speaker 1: All of these things have led up. He's the same

516
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 1: exactly guy, which is really cool. Just receptions, Yeah, just

517
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 1: five pick sixes.

518
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 2: When we come back here on talking Cowboys will shift

519
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 2: back to the offensive side of things.

520
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,919
Speaker 1: Offensive line woes? Are they in the rearview mirror?

521
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 2: And is this team showing continuity up from when we

522
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 2: come back Right after this.

524
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:11,160

525
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:14,119
Speaker 3: online was reliable, and now Todd is trying to be

526
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 3: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.

527
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:19,159
Speaker 3: But the good news is Todd has AT and T

528
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 3: five G. It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he

529
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 3: learned the best thing to do is stop running and

530
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,919
Speaker 3: toss her the backpack with the beef stew At and

531

Speaker 1: is here.

636
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 2: Really excited, And congratulations to Caden Gates, who's one of

637
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 2: our lead producers here with the with the Dallas Cowboys.

638
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,239
Speaker 1: Cayden got married yesterday. I wonder why he's not at

639
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 1: work today. He's definitely not work. There is no way,

640
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 1: no way. So he got married yesterday. That was a

641
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 1: lot of fun.

642
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 2: Uh But yeah, lots going on across the stars. There's

643
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 2: a lot going on up front for the Cowboys too.

644
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 1: Talk about it.

645
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 2: Not only is Dak Prescott still playing very good football

646
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 2: and still throwing the rock around with a high efficiency rate,

647
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 2: but we've gotten to see this offensive line continue to

648
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 2: work in the right direction, continue to.

649
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 1: Go moving in the right direction.

650
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 2: Because there were times early in the year, and I

651
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 2: know this show has certainly talked about it that we

652
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 2: that we were worried about what the offensive line has

653
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 2: been doing. Do you feel like those worries are now

654
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 2: in the rearview mirror for good.

655
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 5: I would like to say so. But they're going to

656
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 5: be tested. I mean, some of these defensive lines that

657
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 5: they have coming up are going to be difficult, starting

658
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 5: with Seattle. Seattle has some dogs up front. Obviously, Big

659
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 5: Leonard Williams is back over there. They can't run away

660
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 5: from him. He just picked a new home. And then

661
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 5: you know, you think about Philadelphia is going to pop

662
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 5: back up on a schedule. You'll see Washington again on schedule.

663
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 5: You took care of the handily, but they still have

664
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 5: guys you have to respect. Detroit Lions have some guys

665
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 5: that just they're on some jack juice. They just don't

666
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 5: stop right. So, I mean, you have some challenges they're

667
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 5: gonna present themselves. And you know, Dak's not going to

668
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:14,239
Speaker 5: be walk away every single time with his jersey as

669
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 5: clean as it is when he started the game. So

670
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 5: you have those things that you're going to have to

671
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 5: take on and you'll make adjustments. You'll make adjustments. But

672
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 5: I do believe that this offensive line is substantially further

673
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 5: along than they were at the beginning of the season

674
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 5: or even the middle of the season. These guys have

675
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 5: improved every single week, and those hardships that they had,

676
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 5: they've taken it to heart and it is how they

677
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 5: respond to them. People will have unrealistic expectations of teams,

678
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 5: of players of coaches to think that you're not gonna

679
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 5: have pitfalls, You're not gonna have hurdles that you have

680
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 5: to overcome. What you need to be paying attention to

681
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 5: is when those things present themselves, how does your team, player,

682
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 5: coach respond and adjust to those different situations?

683
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 1: Are there going to be reoccurring issues? Right?

684
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 5: There's one reoccurring issue on this team that has not

685
00:30:57,640 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 5: been addressed, and that is the penalties. Outside of that,

686
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 5: everybody has improved on everything. Rush, defense, improve right, turnover margin,

687
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 5: improve protection, improve DA's accuracy improved. All these things have improved.

688
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 5: Playmakers getting the ball, offense running the ball. All these

689
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 5: things have improved. The only thing that hasn't improved is

690
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 5: just the penalties. And it's been overlooked because of how

691
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 5: bad you're beating these teams. But they're gonna rear their

692
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 5: ugly head in closer, more competitive games.

693
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 1: But people need to just.

694
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 5: Look at it and say, how is my team responding

695
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 5: to this one issue that they're having or these multiple issues.

696
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 5: Are we advancing in gaining ground or are we staying

697
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 5: kind of in the same rut. And I think when

698
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 5: you look at the Cowboys as a snapshot, you have

699
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 5: to admit they have improved and absolutely everything except that

700
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 5: one category.

701
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 2: And even that category I feel like is it's much

702
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 2: more improved upon what it was last year. I mean

703
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 2: in the year before that. I mean, penalties were especially

704
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 2: early in the Miam McCarthy ten year, number one concern.

705
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's number one concern anymore. And yes,

706
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 2: there's ways that you can improve upon that as the

707
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 2: season goes on. I think you're right, though I don't

708
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 2: know if the offensive line woes are gone for good,

709
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 2: just because you still got to play teams like Miami

710
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 2: and Buffalo, Philadelphia again Detroit, who's been phenomenal off that

711
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 2: defensive line, I mean, Aiden Hutchinson is continuing to play really,

712
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 2: really good football. There are so many different plays or

713
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 2: excuse me, teams along the way that you're going to

714
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 2: see and we knew this going in. It's kind of

715
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 2: like what the conversation was in the first segment, with

716
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 2: the way that the schedule is built, it is very.

717
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 1: Back heavy, very much so very back heavy.

718
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 2: Philadelphia is in the heat of their schedule right now.

719
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 2: Dallas will be in the heat of their schedule. Probably,

720
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 2: I would.

721
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 1: Consider starting this week. Starting this week, this is the

722
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 1: heat of the schedule.

723
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 2: But you've got to continue playing at just as high

724
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 2: of a level as you have been these last three weeks,

725
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 2: and they continue to do that, I think so, I.

726
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 1: Think they can.

727
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 5: But again, the challenges that they're gonna be presented with

728
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 5: are going to change weekly. They're gonna change weekly. This

729
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 5: starting this week, there's gonna be the interior. Okay, they

730
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 5: have some really young second level defenders that that can

731
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 5: make some players there they'll handle. They have their share

732
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 5: of blitzes and things like that. So this week they'll

733
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 5: have a big, big presence on the inside and then

734
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:22,720
Speaker 5: you'll have to see how you respond to blitz Right,

735
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 5: they're gonna, they're gonna, they're definitely gonna bring the heat

736
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 5: and try to get after you because they feel like

737
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 5: they have the guys outside to play man to man.

738
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 1: Then you go to teams like Philadelphia, well, you.

739
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 5: Have waves of defensive linemen, right, you have literally just

740
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 5: they're everywhere there, everywhere, right, you can't get away from them,

741
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:39,480
Speaker 5: so you're gonna have that as a problem, especially with

742
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 5: their interior pressure. But then you have their big dogs

743
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 5: on the outside. They run a three four scheme a

744
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 5: lot of the time, so that presents a whole nother

745
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 5: blocking scheme issue for you. Right, So those are two

746
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 5: different schemes that you're gonna face, two different problems. Then

747
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 5: when you get to the Detroit, you have guys who

748
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 5: just have motors that just don't stop those That's not

749
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 5: a team that's gonna necessarily scheme you up. Great, They're

750
00:33:57,760 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 5: not gonna blitz a whole bunch, but they're defensive end

751
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 5: just go right, and like, how do you handle a

752
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:04,720
Speaker 5: house Terren Steel going to respond to that high? Was

753
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 5: Tyron Smith gonna handle some guys that our bigger defensive

754
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:09,920
Speaker 5: ends that just have high motors. They're not looking to

755
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:11,239
Speaker 5: do a bunch of spin moves. They just want to

756
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,239
Speaker 5: beat you around the edge. So every week's going to

757
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:16,319
Speaker 5: present a different problem. So it's hard to look at

758
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 5: it and say, oh, yeah, well, Dallas is they're good

759
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 5: going forward. Every week you have to see how you're

760
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:23,320
Speaker 5: going to address that problem, and then if you do

761
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:27,239
Speaker 5: suffer with it. How do you make alterations during the

762
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 5: game to make sure that you combat it well enough

763
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 5: to win the ball game.

764
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:37,839
Speaker 2: It's super impressive of how many snaps Dak Prescott has taken. Now,

765
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 2: now all of these are passing attempts, but one hundred

766
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 2: and seventy five snaps. Over one hundred and seventy five snaps,

767
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:47,920
Speaker 2: it's actually probably going to be closer to maybe two hundred.

768
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:50,840
Speaker 2: In the Philadelphia game is the last time he was sacked,

769
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:55,800
Speaker 2: last time that he was sacked in general, So it's

770
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 2: impressive what this offensive line is doing. You mentioned Arren

771
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 2: Steele in the last segment, and what have you seen

772
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 2: from him over these last few weeks as he's.

773
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 5: Continued to move in the right direction. I think he's

774
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 5: honed in on his technique. Yeah, I think that for

775
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 5: whatever was going on in his head, he was feeling

776
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,840
Speaker 5: as if he had to chase defenders and it was

777
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:15,400
Speaker 5: getting him out of position. He was going and the

778
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:17,719
Speaker 5: guys were lining up in really wide techniques, whether it

779
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 5: be nine shades or even further outside than that, to

780
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 5: where he feels like, you know, he's sitting in the

781
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:24,839
Speaker 5: stands and he's with his right leg back and he's

782
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,760
Speaker 5: looking outside and they're so wide that he was starting

783
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 5: to turn his body laterally parallel to the line of scrimmage,

784
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:34,840
Speaker 5: and it wasn't working out for him because he was

785
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:36,840
Speaker 5: creating a short edge and his feet got bad, and

786
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 5: guys were just beating him around the corner or crossing

787
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 5: back across his face. Now, I think he's doing a

788
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:43,879
Speaker 5: lot a much better job of sitting inside and really

789
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 5: trusting his techniques.

790
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:45,319
Speaker 9: Right.

791
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 5: Whether that's him having more confidence in his knee or

792
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:50,720
Speaker 5: whether that's just him getting coached up to rest assured

793
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 5: in his technique. Either way, it's helping him out and

794
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:57,279
Speaker 5: guys are not beating him anymore. He's recognizing that guys

795
00:35:57,400 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 5: have to come through me to get to my qb.

796
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:01,359
Speaker 10: Uh.

797
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 2: There are a couple of different things I think on

798
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 2: the text line right now that I'm looking through at

799
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 2: the moment.

800
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:09,319
Speaker 10: Uh.

801
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:13,760
Speaker 2: Number One, Maurice in Tacoma, Washington says Kyle.

802
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna need you to put a little more respect

803
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 1: on two things. Number one, go dogs. I had to

804
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 1: throw that one out there. Let's go.

805
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 10: Uh.

806
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:27,560
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get the back half of this. You

807
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 1: might be able to help me with this.

808
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 2: Uh, it's just all broken up in the multiple text messages.

809
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:37,640
Speaker 2: I feel like you're downplaying the work to run Bland

810
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:43,319
Speaker 2: is putting in deron Bland is putting it. What am

811
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 2: I downplaying?

Speaker 1: He's the defensive player of the year. That's what I'm

813
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:51,360
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. You misheard. I think you misheard

814
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 1: what it is. He did say wolf at the end,

815
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:55,839
Speaker 1: So there you go. He's just trying. He's just trying

Speaker 1: To Talking Cowboys.

870
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 2: Back here on Talking Cowboys presented by a Black Rifle

871
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:39,840
Speaker 2: Coffee Company. This segment of the show is brought to

872
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:42,440
Speaker 2: you by and vis A Line, the official smile of

873
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys. Mario in South Texas says, here's just

874
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 2: a little nugget. A couple of Cowboys streaks ended on Thursday.

875
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:52,719
Speaker 2: And I saw this happening right at the end of

876
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:56,280
Speaker 2: the game. Cowboys had not allowed a three hundred yard passer,

877
00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:59,720
Speaker 2: a one hundred yard receiver, or a one hundred yard rusher.

878
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:03,239
Speaker 2: He did not allow a one hundred yard rusher, but

879
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 2: they Curtis Samuel had a one hundred yards even and

880
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:11,799
Speaker 2: Sam Howe had three hundred yards even, and so both

881
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 2: of those streaks ended for the Cowboys. They were the

882
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:16,239
Speaker 2: only team in the NFL that did not allow any

883
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 2: of those three things, a three hundred yard passer, one

884
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 2: hundred yard rusher, and a one hundred yard receiver.

885
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 1: Were you think we're okay? I think they beat him

886
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 1: forty five to ten. That's what happened.

887
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, Going into Seattle, where do you feel

888
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:36,279
Speaker 2: like this team has the biggest advantage of the Seahawks.

889
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:46,440
Speaker 5: I don't think Seattle's offense is clicking right now, So

890
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:49,799
Speaker 5: I think that Dan Quinn against his former team, has

891
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 5: advantage in that regard, not necessarily personnel wise on the outside,

892
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:58,839
Speaker 5: so I guess at the defensive back position, but more

893
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:02,439
Speaker 5: so into trenches. I don't think their office in line

894
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:06,239
Speaker 5: worries have been handled down in Seattle has been down

895
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:09,480
Speaker 5: playing their necessity for spending money at the offensive line

896
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:11,719
Speaker 5: position for years, ever since the Super Bowl times, and

897
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:14,600
Speaker 5: that they went back to back when they were at

898
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:17,000
Speaker 5: the top of the league in terms of money being

899
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 5: allocated to office a lineman. Now they're near the bottom

900
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:23,760
Speaker 5: still and they're still struggling. Luckily, they have athletic quarterback

901
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 5: who gets their amount of trouble, but they have not

902
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:30,279
Speaker 5: been They haven't had the time to get their playmakers

903
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:33,360
Speaker 5: the ball. And they have a ton of playmakers offensively.

904
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 5: You talk about the receiver position, Tyler Lockett, DK Metcalf,

905
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 5: Jacks Smimith and Jayba. They got a ton of speed,

906
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:42,399
Speaker 5: ton of weapons. Everybody knows about it. But you look

907
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:45,240
Speaker 5: at those guys' stats this year and they're very underwhelming.

908
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:48,240
Speaker 2: I mean, they're coming off of back to back losses

909
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:51,640
Speaker 2: Los Angeles Rams in week eleven, Week twelve, it was

910
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 2: San Francisco thirty one to thirteen. Their last win was

911
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:58,440
Speaker 2: against Washington twenty nine twenty six. Most of their wins

912
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:02,080
Speaker 2: have been tightly contested wins. They beat the Browns twenty

913
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:04,880
Speaker 2: four ten, that's pretty good win. Beat the Cardinals by

914
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:08,759
Speaker 2: ten New York earlier in the year. They beat Carolina

915
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 2: by ten, beat Detroit by six, that's a big win.

916
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:13,080
Speaker 1: Two. So they've they've had.

917
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:15,280
Speaker 2: Big wins, but they've also lost to the Rams twice.

918
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 2: They lost to the Bengals, they lost to the Ravens.

919
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 2: And they've got a pretty tough schedule coming up too.

920
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 2: How about these four games for the Seattle Seahawks, San Francisco, Dallas,

921
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:30,800
Speaker 2: San Francisco, Philly. Those are therefore, that's their month of

922
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:35,400
Speaker 2: November that they've here the month of November going into December.

923
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, their schedule sucks too, But I mean, you're talking

924
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:41,840
Speaker 5: about their lack of offensive production right now. I believe

925
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 5: that Ceedee Lamb might have one hundred yards lesser around

926
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:50,120
Speaker 5: there than DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett combined. Yeah, which

927
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:51,480
Speaker 5: is absolutely insanitive.

928
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:53,440
Speaker 1: It's pretty wild. Yes, it's ridiculous.

929
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:56,319
Speaker 5: So I'm talking when I'm talking about the underutilization, that's

930
00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:59,279
Speaker 5: where they're at As long as they continue to give

931
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:05,399
Speaker 5: up pressures in sacks on and on Gino, then they're

932
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:07,360
Speaker 5: going to continue to struggle. But if you do not

933
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:11,560
Speaker 5: get home, if you don't get home, let's not be full.

934
00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:14,719
Speaker 5: They have the guys that can make plays. There's nothing

935
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:17,399
Speaker 5: wrong with Tida Smith. You know, I'm not tieda Smith,

936
00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:20,279
Speaker 5: but nothing uber tired to locket. Yeah, DK metcalf, whatever

937
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:22,680
Speaker 5: issuees he was having, he's over those. So these guys

938
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:25,080
Speaker 5: can make you pay. But you just have to make

939
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:27,359
Speaker 5: sure and utilize your strength and ask your defensive line

940
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:29,160
Speaker 5: and make sure you get home. Put pressure on Geno

941
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 5: because he'll give you some opportunities.

942
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:33,439
Speaker 2: That's the number one thing, right, Yeah, that's the number

943
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:35,200
Speaker 2: one thing is you got to continue to put pressure

944
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:37,360
Speaker 2: on Geno Smith. Dallas is done a good job of

945
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:38,920
Speaker 2: putting pressure on opposing quarterbacks.

946
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:40,960
Speaker 1: They have all year long. Though we kind of expected

947
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:42,160
Speaker 1: that as the case.

948
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:45,960
Speaker 2: And we'll talk more about this whenever we go into

949
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:48,440
Speaker 2: QB vision and we're looking at what this defense brings

950
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:48,919
Speaker 2: to the table.

951
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:51,279
Speaker 1: But do they still.

952
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:56,560
Speaker 2: Has their secondary continued to be one of the better

953
00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:59,400
Speaker 2: secondaries in football because they've got some young pieces Devin

954
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:03,279
Speaker 2: Witherspoon on the outside, Rik Woolan, who was one of

955
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:08,000
Speaker 2: the Merger emerging rookies last year in the secondary. Have

956
00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:11,400
Speaker 2: they still been playing well enough down the stretch.

957
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 1: I think so.

958
00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:14,080
Speaker 5: I mean, I think they've had a handful of injuries,

959
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:17,760
Speaker 5: but overall they're dangerous in that regard.

960
00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:20,120
Speaker 1: You have to be accurate. You can't give them any chances.

961
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 5: They have ballhawks out there, So I think as long

962
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:26,200
Speaker 5: as Dak continues to be responsible with the ball, I

963
00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:28,040
Speaker 5: don't feel like he's going to give them an opportunity

964
00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:31,320
Speaker 5: to have any opportunities there. But you know they're a

965
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:33,719
Speaker 5: momentum team there. Their energy bust and you know I

966
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 5: had the opportunity of playing there for for a year,

967
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:40,840
Speaker 5: and you know coach Carroll is all about energy, energy, energy, energy,

968
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:44,640
Speaker 5: and if you give them hope and give them an

969
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 5: opportunity to be in a ball game, things can turn

970
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:50,840
Speaker 5: on its head really quickly because it's just taking. Like

971
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:54,320
Speaker 5: I mentioned for years on this podcast, you know, just

972
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:56,920
Speaker 5: because your professional athlete, you still run off of confidence.

973
00:44:57,239 --> 00:45:00,319
Speaker 5: And if those guys have confidence, they can and get

974
00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:03,840
Speaker 5: very productive very quickly. So you just have to remind

975
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:06,480
Speaker 5: them that you're the more dominant team and show them

976
00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:08,920
Speaker 5: that frequently, and then you will allow for them to

977
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:09,759
Speaker 5: get their mojo going.

978
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:12,120
Speaker 1: Got to get the job done at home too, I

979
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:12,880
Speaker 1: mean absolutely.

980
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:15,600
Speaker 2: The way that they've been winning games at home has

981
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:17,920
Speaker 2: been so impressive because, again it goes back to what

982
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:21,120
Speaker 2: we talked about earlier, it's not just home wins, it's

983
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:27,120
Speaker 2: just destroying teams at home. Thirteen consecutive wins at AT

984
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:30,120
Speaker 2: and T Stadium, longest active home win streak in the

985
00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:32,680
Speaker 2: NFL and longest winning streak by a Cowboys team since

986
00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:36,120
Speaker 2: nineteen seventy nine through nineteen eighty one when they won

987
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:40,239
Speaker 2: eighteen straight. So not only are they winning, but they're

988
00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:43,440
Speaker 2: outscoring their opponents at home two five to sixty.

989
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:46,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, they're winning that big time.

990
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:48,960
Speaker 2: So keep it rolling, and we'll keep it rolling throughout

991
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:51,319
Speaker 2: the week here on Talking Cowboys. We should have Nick
