1
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:06,560
Speaker 1: The following He's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com

2
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. This He's Talking Cowboys,

3
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 1: screening live from the Dallas Cowboys World headquarters at the

4
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:26,760
Speaker 1: Star in Frisco. Following to the goal line, say that's

5
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 1: got piss and now your hosts, Isaiah stand Back, heck

6
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: My Harrison, Rob Phillips, and Kyle Yeoman's. Now that is

7
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 1: more like it whenever it comes to the Dallas Cowboys.

8
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,560
Speaker 1: How about that a week eleven road win for the

9
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys. It took a couple of tries to get there,

10
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:52,919
Speaker 1: It took a couple of weeks, it took more than

11
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 1: half the season. But not only did the Cowboys get

12
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: their first road win of twenty twenty and of the

13
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy era, but they put together a complimentary game

14
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,680
Speaker 1: in all three phases. And we're gonna break it down

15
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 1: for you here on the Monday edition of Talking Cowboys.

16
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: As always, Kyle Yeoman's alongside our resident Super Bowl Champion,

17
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: Isaiah stand Back, the Great heck Ma Harrison, and Rob Phillips,

18
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: our Cowboys insider and guys, it's exciting to finally have

19
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 1: a victory. Monday on our hands again, and it's one

20
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: that yes, there's a lot of positives, but hey, there's

21
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: a lot of negatives we can look at too and

22
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: kind of break it down on both sides. One of

23
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: the positives is that Isaiah and I, well, we got

24
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: the pick right. We actually picked the Dallas Cowboys on

25
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: say It with You Chess Friday as opposed to and

26
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 1: as opposed to Rob's. I know, we've got a little

27
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: bit of a split whenever it comes to the left

28
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 1: side of the screen and the right side of the screen.

29
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: But that's okay, we'll get past that. We'll move past

30
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: that because the Cowboys got a three point win. And heckma, man,

31
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: y'all start with me, Kyle, donall start with me, Kyle stating,

32
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: don't start with me, man, you know no, you're not

33
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: staying any facts. Okay, there's a lot by no year. Okay,

34
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,639
Speaker 1: I picked against them. I did. I did, because Timmy,

35
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: you have to know that going into this game with

36
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton, you'd have a lot to go off of.

37
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: You aren't that confident that in this victory that you

38
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: were gonna get once, So don't start that. We've got it.

39
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: I love it. I'm here for it, but don't start

40
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 1: this house divided. We're not going for that on Monday.

41
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 1: I want to hear you up, don't do it. Yeah,

42
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: I just want to hear you say right that you

43
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 1: didn't have faith in the Cowboys this week. I just

44
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: want to hear you say it. I wrote a song.

45
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 1: You want to hear it. I was wrong, and I'm happy.

46
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: I'm happy to be wrong. I'm happy to be wrong

47
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: this Monday. Thank god I was wrong. Well, how about that.

48
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: Let's let's go through that happiness, because there's a lot

49
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 1: of split between Cowboys fans, and that's kind of why

50
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: I brought it up anyways, is because there are half

51
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: of Cowboys Nation right now that are happy because you

52
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: got that third win. You're right back in the hunt

53
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: for a division title, and you, of course have a

54
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: chance to do so and take first place with a

55
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 1: win this Thursday against Washington after a short week. The

56
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 1: winner of Thursday's games in first place in the NFC

57
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: East no matter what. So you've got an opportunity to

58
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: take control of this division. But there's half of Cowboys

59
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: Nation that's upset about the loss because they were quote

60
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: unquote team tank and they're trying to tank for draft

61
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 1: picks and stuff. So overall, you've got to divide in

62
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: Cowboys Nation as a whole, ensure we're not on team

63
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: take as a as a show. I love the NFS

64
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: not that's not Cowboys Nation body as much as anybody.

65
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: It is Cowboys Nation. It's just a different way of No, no,

66
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: it is. It's still a Cowboys Nation. Let's not get

67
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: carried away here. But last night was a win that

68
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: you can build off of, rob and it's something that

69
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: I know you can look to for the future. And

70
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: it's something Mike McCarthy absolutely needed to see and he

71
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: said that last night. Can I just real that team

72
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: tank is a myth? It is an absolute myth, like

73
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: it just it doesn't exist. You know, the Cowboys are

74
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: going to try to win football games, and they're gonna

75
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: try to win football games with half their team missing,

76
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: and fans may not like it. I think most fans

77
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: probably root for them in the moment and then look

78
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: at the standings and say, ah, that's not maybe the

79
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: best thing for our draft position. But don't you want

80
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 1: to see them play like they played last night? Yeah?

81
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: I mean, doesn't that make you feel better about this season?

82
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: As opposed to the first month where they didn't look

83
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: like an NFL football team. So, I mean, I know

84
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: it's easier for us to talk about a win after,

85
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: you know, a game like that. This is our first

86
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,359
Speaker 1: victory Monday Show. I counted up in forty three days.

87
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 1: Let's have a victory Monday show. And actually and actually

88
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 1: forty three days. And actually, to me, it feels like

89
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: the first real win of the season. You know, they

90
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 1: beat the Falcons, they beat the Giants, but after that

91
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: Falcons game, it took a miracle. After the Giants game,

92
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott's out for the season and that shirt didn't

93
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: You're like, a win. So this is, you know, Thanksgiving week,

94
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: It's it's finally time to celebrate one. Am. I'm with

95
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,359
Speaker 1: you on that pee for I didn't know it was

96
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: that long man, but it definitely felt like it. It

97
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: was a clean victory, right, um, everybody, I mean, I

98
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: felt like it was a total team victory. It's what

99
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 1: you guys have been talking about all season long. Complimentary,

100
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: complimentary defense, team, you know, an overall team win. Um,

101
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: everybody got on the stat sheet. On offense, Zeke looked

102
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 1: like Zeke, I mean a credit coach I mean, I

103
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: gotta credit the coaches, Coach Philbin, coach McCarthy, uh Man,

104
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore. That's just the offensive line play in general

105
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 1: was was great. UM. We hadn't seen our offensive line

106
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 1: play like that since last year, so this was this

107
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 1: was a complete and total team win. UM. I think

108
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: other than the special teams missqs, I'm sure we'll talk

109
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,559
Speaker 1: about that, there's really not a lot to be said

110
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: negative about this team and what they did. I just

111
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,479
Speaker 1: felt like, you know, some other things obviously we got

112
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 1: to work on. But this is a great victory. Yeah.

113
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: I mean, ultimately they got the dub and that's what

114
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 1: you come into the game to do. UM. I think

115
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: there's a lot of growth and development and areas in

116
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 1: which we've been saying there needs to be UM, mostly

117
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: on the offensive side of the ball. We saw those

118
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 1: improvements of coach Field and made those adjustments of offensive

119
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: line played well. The quarterback, you know, Andy Dalton came

120
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: in and played like we expected him too when he

121
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 1: first touched the field. Uh, you know, we got good

122
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,559
Speaker 1: tight end play or receivers started getting some confidence in Dalton.

123
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: Defense side of the ball. We still have a lot

124
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: of work to do, um, and that's and that's that's

125
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: even that's even more more reason, that's even more reason

126
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: to be excited because these guys went out there and

127
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 1: won a game. I guess a good team with a

128
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: bad record. Let's be honest, the Vikings are a really

129
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: good team, but that just has a terrible record. But

130
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: you know that's a good that's a good football club.

131
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 1: And you know we got a victory even with our

132
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: defensive wolds. So just imagine how much better it will

133
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 1: be once the aspects starts improve them. Isaiah, I started too.

134
00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: I started to call you, uh once Robinson gave up

135
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: that touchdown, It's like, look, you've been begging for Robinson.

136
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 1: There he is just gawn. But but it was it

137
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: was the wrong and that wasn't the only person, by

138
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: the way, I know you didn't actually you didn't think

139
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: it was Reggie Robinson, but there were a lot of

140
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: people that thought that was Reggie Robinson. If you go

141
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: back and look at the mentions on Twitter, it was

142
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: what is this is why Reggie Robinson wasn't playing? No,

143
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: that was for Shard Robinson. Different Robinson, different numbered, same

144
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: position and didn't really look great either. But you mentioned

145
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: the secondary woes, Isaiah, and I want to kind of

146
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: go back. We talked about the offensive line. We of

147
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: course Andy Dalton played well Zeke, that's the blueprint to

148
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: win a football game with Zeke. But there was one

149
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: guy in the secondary that won you this football game,

150
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: and that's Donovan Wilson. I mean, this guy, two separate

151
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: times made fantastic plays to turn the football over in

152
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: the first half. One of them ultimately ended up in

153
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: a six point swing, as Minnesota was going to get

154
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: a field goal at least at the end of the half,

155
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,679
Speaker 1: and instead of getting a field goal to Cowboys tacked

156
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: on a field goal and had a chance for more.

157
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 1: We can talk about that decision later on, but ultimately

158
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: it was a six point swing. You don't win that

159
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: football game if it wasn't for that play from Donovan

160
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: Wilson in the second quarter. And this is something that

161
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: you've been waiting for, Isaiah. No, we've been calling for

162
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: Earl Thomas. We've been calling for all these guys in

163
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: the secondary. And I'm not comparing Donovan Wilson to Earl Thomas.

164
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: Don't trust me on that. However, you've needed physical safety

165
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: play and you've needed a game changing type of mentality.

166
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:34,959
Speaker 1: And he's brought that note only this week, but he's

167
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 1: done it the last couple of weeks. Yeah. No, Wilson

168
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 1: showed up, man. I mean, he came out there and

169
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: he was laying the hat. I mean I almost wanted

170
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: to give him a fifty something number just because he

171
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: was out there and playing. We want our linebackers to play.

172
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: But you know, he went out there, he made plays,

173
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: he was being physical and he really I think he

174
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: really inspired the defense to fly around a little bit.

175
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: We saw the energy coming and he really brought that hat.

176
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: And the guys were flying around. They weren't they weren't

177
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: covering well at all. Let's let's be let's be adamant

178
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: about that. But these boys were hitting. They were flying

179
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: around to the ball and they were and they were

180
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: hitting guys in their mouth. And that's what you, that's

181
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 1: what you that's the first step. That's definitely a first

182
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: step to improve defense. Yeah, thank god, thank god, you

183
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: guys are not a part of our group group text

184
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: because said Rob, said Earl. Earl who Donovan, Donovan, Wilson, Field,

185
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: Texas A and M And you know, Rob, it's gonna

186
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: represent it. It Texas and them to the joke joke,

187
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:40,079
Speaker 1: but well, he played well. I mean that that hit

188
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: on on Dalvin Cook was a cruncher and it game changer.

189
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 1: I think it was one of those parts in the

190
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 1: game where it was like, Yeah, our defense is here

191
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: and they're putting guys on notice. But I just love

192
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:55,319
Speaker 1: the overall energy from our defense. You're right Outaiah. There's

193
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: some things in our second day that's going on right

194
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 1: now that definitely have to be addressed. I mean, Adam

195
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 1: Feeland took a few guys to church and that one

196
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: and one in the corner was just to add insult

197
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 1: to injury. But but Adam if Theeland does that to everybody,

198
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: So it wasn't like he had a breakout game against us.

199
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 1: But in the same with Justin Jefferson, we just gave

200
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: up a lot there. But then but you started to

201
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,199
Speaker 1: see when we needed to get a stop, those guys

202
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 1: were able to get it right. Uh. We have to

203
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: also Jay Luke. Jordan Lewis has taken a lot of

204
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: flak from the media and he came up big man

205
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: in those last moments by getting that stop. So you

206
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 1: gotta credit these guys and give some kudos to a

207
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 1: few of those guys in the secondary as well. Saw

208
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: varsities horns off. Go Aggie's let's go. Hey. I've been

209
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,719
Speaker 1: saying I've been saying about my guy Donald like he

210
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: did that at A and m you know, he always

211
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: finds a way to be around the football, and and

212
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: he did it last year even in some you know,

213
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: in training camp in preseason we saw a little bit

214
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 1: of it. Um. You know, he was involved in that

215
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 1: in that last deep touchdown I believe by the Vikings

216
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: though they were in single high and they gave up

217
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 1: the play. So but in terms of being around the football,

218
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,839
Speaker 1: as you guys said, and just creating a physical mindset

219
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: like Godovan Wilson, I didn't have that in my pool

220
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 1: preseason that he would be like the template for how

221
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: Mike Nolan probably wants his defense to play. But he's

222
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: bringing it. DeMarcus Lawrence still bringing it. And and yeah,

223
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,959
Speaker 1: they had some issues in the secondary. Anthony Brown aggravated

224
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: his rib injury from early in the season, so they

225
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: had Richard Robinson in the game. They've just been they've

226
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: been hurting back there, you know. Saban Smith in the

227
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: Steelers game had to come in without Cheeto in that game,

228
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: and they gave up some plays veteran quarterbacks. No, you know,

229
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:48,679
Speaker 1: they know who's new in the game and they come

230
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: after you. So, but that being said, what they did

231
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: defensively the last yeah, yeah, absolutely. But what they did

232
00:11:57,920 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: in the last two drives is what you want your

233
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 1: defense to do when it counts, make a play, and

234
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: they did that. Yeah, Jordan Lewis made a really nice

235
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,439
Speaker 1: play on that kind of out route that knocked it

236
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 1: away and made it I think was it third down

237
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: or fourth down at that point. I think it might

238
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: have made it fourth down, But Jordan Lewis made a

239
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 1: play something that you exactly is something that you needed

240
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: to see out of him because he's been your big

241
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 1: play guy over the last couple of years, hasn't necessarily

242
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: had that and he finally makes one and wasn't a turnover,

243
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: but it was a huge situation. He was good in coverage,

244
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: he was able to knock the football away. What you

245
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 1: guys think about the defensive line while we're sticking on

246
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: that side of the football, and I'll throw the front

247
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 1: seven into this as well. I thought Jalen Smith looked

248
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: as lost as he's been all season. Long throughout the

249
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: course of the game, if we're being real, I thought

250
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,079
Speaker 1: the defensive line off the edge got good pressure. I

251
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,119
Speaker 1: thought up the middle, there were a couple of occasions

252
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: where guys like poor, excuse me not Poe Neville Gallimore,

253
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: Yeah that was as oops, yeah Gallimore. He also had

254
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 1: Justin Hamilton. I thought that played well. And then we

255
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 1: even saw Eli Ankou who came in and played pretty decent,

256
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: the guy who we've now taken off of waivers from

257
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: the Texans. But what do you guys think about the

258
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 1: front seven and what they brought yesterday? And he said, Uncle,

259
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 1: that's he had. He was the one that was wearing

260
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 1: ninety five. Yea, look at that stake. Absolutely because when

261
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 1: he came in, I was like, wait a minute, I

262
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,679
Speaker 1: thought we got rid of done terry Man and it

263
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,959
Speaker 1: was Uncle. So I thought the first half. I really

264
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: thought the first half at the front seven did well.

265
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: Um I believe. I mean just this, how strong they

266
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: were at the point of attack. I think they only

267
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 1: allowed thirty thirty some out of rushing yard thirty five.

268
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have it to be exact by Dalvin Cook.

269
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,079
Speaker 1: And that was just indicative of how how they were

270
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: playing together in the first half, and obviously Minnesota came

271
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: out in the third quarter, made some adjustments and you

272
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 1: saw immediately that running game starting to pick up a

273
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,479
Speaker 1: little bit of pace. But you know, I thought collectively

274
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: the defense played well. I thought the energy level was

275
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: was really good. Tank Lawrence played really well. But the

276
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: guy is the funner man. Yeah, come on, you gotta

277
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: give you gotta talk about it. I mean, he played

278
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: as good a football as I've seen him play in

279
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: a very long time. And his sideline, his just presence

280
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: on the defense was there, and he was making some

281
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 1: thudding stops in the middle of that defense, and I

282
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: think that's what we've been needing a lot. He was

283
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 1: the tone setter and it just carried out through for

284
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: four quarters. Yeah, I mean, I'm Malay mentioned in terms

285
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 1: of the whole defense, but specifically specifically about this front seven.

286
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: They played physical. Um, I think that, you know, obviously

287
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 1: they need to improve upon their pad level, as they

288
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 1: were getting moved a little bit more than they probably

289
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: wanted to, and that's why they were able to establish

290
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: that run the second half. But um, you know, heckim

291
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 1: I said that they brought they brought good energy they

292
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 1: brought the physicality, and again that's a that's a great

293
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: first step in the right direction. You know, Dalvin Cook

294
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: gets one hundred and sixty all purpose yards and he

295
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 1: could just sleep walk his way into a hundred yards rushing,

296
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: it feels like. But they didn't feel that way. It

297
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 1: felt like they did a decent job against him. I'm

298
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 1: continue to be impressed with the way into on Woods

299
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 1: plays in the middle of the line and has given

300
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 1: him something after don Terry Poe leaves the team, and

301
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: so that's helping out. They had trouble in the second

302
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 1: half once again setting edges and containing things, and you know,

303
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: Mickey pointed out, we were watching the game yesterday. You

304
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 1: know they've got they've got Dorance Armstrong trying to set

305
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 1: edges and play linebacker essentially, and it's that's not a

306
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 1: good matchup. And you know, maybe there needs to be

307
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 1: more Sean Lee in those types of situations. And those

308
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 1: bootlegs are working. We're working. In the second half, they

309
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: really got the play action going against the Cowboys. So

310
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: there was some good, a lot of good, some not

311
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 1: so good, especially in the second half. But again it

312
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 1: came down to it. They got the stops they needed

313
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: to and that's what they've been needing the defense to do,

314
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: is what they need to be the offense to do

315
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: just that complimentary football. Really the first time all year

316
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 1: we've seen it, except for maybe in a victory in

317
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 1: a victory, and we had talked about it previously going

318
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: through the film, and Isaiah's broken it down and kind

319
00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: of talked about it back and forth all year long.

320
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 1: But the defense where Mike Nolan went from, of course,

321
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: kind of look like a three man front with that

322
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 1: those outside linebackers guys standing up off of the edge,

323
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 1: and then went back to a four down lineman. Look,

324
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 1: they kind of went and reverted back to the three

325
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 1: down linemen because you go back and look at the tape,

326
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 1: Lawrence is at the top of the screen standing up.

327
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 1: He's not in a three point stands, he's back up

328
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 1: in that two point stance. And then you've got three

329
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 1: different guys down at the line of scrimmage, and then

330
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 1: Armstrong's down there as well, with the two linebackers of

331
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 1: Jalen Smith and Layton vander Esh there as well. Isaiah,

332
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: why do you see that as a defensive switch. Why

333
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 1: do you see going back to that and like we said,

334
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: it didn't necessarily work. It might have worked with a

335
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 1: tank on one side, but Dorn's armstrong really did struggle

336
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 1: to set the edge on occasion. Yeah, I'm not sure

337
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 1: what the reason. I might know his reason it was

338
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 1: for that and maybe it was something he saw on film.

339
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 1: Maybe he felt better about his guy's ability to hold

340
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: the fort instead of having her hand in the ground

341
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 1: to start to play. I'm not sure that's allso that

342
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 1: happens in the meeting rooms that we don't hear about.

343
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: But as you mentioned, it wasn't effective in that regard.

344
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,399
Speaker 1: So it's another area we have to get better at,

345
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:09,680
Speaker 1: you know, But just keep building momentum man hack Mo.

346
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 1: What was the biggest play from the defense yesterday that

347
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 1: did not involve Donovan Wilson? Was it one of these

348
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 1: big time stuffs by Layton Vanderesh? What stuck out to

349
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 1: you in terms of a play that was made on

350
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 1: the defensive side of the football. Yeah, Layton Vanderesh, I

351
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:26,919
Speaker 1: mean you take Donovan Wilson out of it, and so

352
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 1: you pretty much limit that what I was about to say,

353
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 1: But yeah, Layton Vanderest's presence, you know, I thought down

354
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 1: on the goal line. He made some pretty quality stops.

355
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 1: But other than that, I mean, I'm thinking about DeMarcus

356
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,919
Speaker 1: Lawrence and just his presence on the field and his

357
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 1: ability to get some stops. I believe he had a

358
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 1: sack yesterday. So it was Lawrence for me, Layton Vanderesh

359
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 1: as well. I mean, these guys just played really well

360
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 1: together collectively, and so there wasn't one guy that I

361
00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 1: could point to other than those two that I can

362
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 1: say like, these are game changing plays that they made.

363
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:08,199
Speaker 1: Where has Where's Alden Smith been robbed? Because I mean

364
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 1: we kind of saw him flash early. He almost had

365
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 1: a sack of Cousins in the first quarter, but really

366
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,159
Speaker 1: other than that, he made a couple of tackles in

367
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,159
Speaker 1: the run game and I thought that was pretty decent.

368
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,439
Speaker 1: But overall, he just hasn't made those same kind of

369
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,120
Speaker 1: splash plays that we saw the first four or five

370
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 1: weeks in the season. Yeah, no, I You're right. He

371
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: had the pressure early and I thought some of his

372
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 1: edge containment was really good. Like that's stuff we talked about.

373
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 1: De Marcus Lawrence's game that is not always seen and

374
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 1: it doesn't show up in the stat book, and it's

375
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 1: not sexy but he does help in that regard. You know,

376
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: they they got some decent pressure on Kirk Cousins, especially

377
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:46,880
Speaker 1: later as the game went on. But I thought overall,

378
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 1: you know, he had some clean pockets. He had some

379
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: pretty clean pockets in the game. They also got the

380
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 1: ball out quicksum, so you know, that's that's an area

381
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 1: they've got to improve moving forward. But I think definitely

382
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 1: he obviously in terms of sacks, it was definitely more

383
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 1: pronounced early in the season than it was. But I

384
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 1: think he is doing some other things to help you

385
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:13,439
Speaker 1: out defensively. Ekma, No, that's I mean, I agree with

386
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 1: that wholeheartedly. And setting the edge had been a problem

387
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 1: for our defense for a few games now, and you

388
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,719
Speaker 1: saw darn so Song continue that. But I think Alvin

389
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: Smith just did some really quality things. Not only get it,

390
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: he did get some pressure on Kirk Cousins, but I

391
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,159
Speaker 1: think the way that he helped him the run in

392
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 1: the first half, it's just he just showed, you know,

393
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 1: how valuable he is to this defense. I thought guys

394
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 1: like Randy Gregory, you could tell, man, he didn't play

395
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: with the same spunk that he had for the first

396
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 1: couple of games. It may be that he came into

397
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: the game six. So either way, I don't want to,

398
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 1: you know, give any excuses there, but I just felt

399
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 1: as though collectively the defense, especially Alden Smith, if you're

400
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: questioning him, I think he did a really nice job

401
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: in just some of the technical aspects of the game.

402
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,719
Speaker 1: And Gregory got three the game. I mean he was around,

403
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 1: he was around the quarterback a little bit, yeah, Isaiah, No,

404
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of a lot of stuff that

405
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 1: people are looking for is for the stat lines, and

406
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,400
Speaker 1: so there's so much more of the game, so many more,

407
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 1: so many many more, some many more aspects of the

408
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 1: game that are that just don't show up there. Um.

409
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: But I bet you if he got his grade and

410
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 1: once he got his report today this morning, once they

411
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 1: show up to the meeting room, I guarantee you that

412
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 1: he aced it, you know. And the reason why it

413
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:31,199
Speaker 1: is because the responsibilities, you know, responsibilities and effectiveness. You

414
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,160
Speaker 1: do your job. Your job is to set the edge.

415
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:34,679
Speaker 1: Your job is to try to have some players in

416
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 1: a backfield and consume too. Sometimes make sure you take

417
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 1: this guy out to play, make sure you occupied this

418
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 1: guy so somebody else can get free. There's so many

419
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 1: other things that guys are responsible for, aside from you know,

420
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,200
Speaker 1: getting tack you know, TFLs and sacks and things of

421
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:51,160
Speaker 1: that nature. Um, just like there's a ton of special teams.

422
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: Guys that do their job do it very well, but

423
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 1: they will never show up as making a tackle, They'll

424
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 1: never show up as having a return right, but you

425
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 1: still do your job effectively. Aldon Smith has on that.

426
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 1: I mean we see him show up, you know, have

427
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 1: his little flashes here and there, but those are the

428
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 1: players that people are looking for. I want you, everybody

429
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,120
Speaker 1: go back and watch the film and see the things

430
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: that that you're not going to see in the stat line.

431
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,199
Speaker 1: And I guarantee you guys are have a different outlook

432
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,640
Speaker 1: on him and you're gonna see that with guys beside

433
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:16,919
Speaker 1: him on the defensive line as well. Antoine Woods, like

434
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:18,640
Speaker 1: Rob said a little bit earlier, there were a couple

435
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:20,679
Speaker 1: times where he was in the backfield, he was pushing

436
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 1: the line. I mean, this isn't the bigger guy on

437
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 1: that defensive line, and he's still getting that push. You're

438
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,160
Speaker 1: seeing that fight and it's something that I think Antoine

439
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,360
Speaker 1: Woods really does bring to the table. And we've seen

440
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,680
Speaker 1: that with guys like Gallimore and even a little bit

441
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 1: from Eli Uncou yesterday, and what that defensive line was

442
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,639
Speaker 1: able to do push wise, to try and limit Dalvin

443
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:40,679
Speaker 1: Cook because, like Rob said, he can sleep walk his

444
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 1: way to a hundred yards. But as long as you

445
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 1: win the game and you keep him relatively bottled up

446
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 1: from time to time and you avoid the big run,

447
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: that's going to help you out a lot in getting

448
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 1: the win. We're gonna have to take our first break

449
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 1: when we come back, though, Let's look at the offensive

450
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,120
Speaker 1: side of the football. What did the Cowboys do well?

451
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:59,120
Speaker 1: And was this the best play calling we've seen from

452
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,479
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore so far in his coaching career. We'll address

453
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:06,879
Speaker 1: that when we come back. You're on talking Cowboys. There's

Speaker 1: I don't know what y'all about. You gonna get a sponsorship?

502
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:51,680

503
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 1: I've heard. I've heard selor is better than the clear

504
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 1: eye view, but I don't want to say anything about

505
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: that whenever it comes to that. That's the defensive siety

506
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 1: every single day, every single day, they win that battle. Anyways,

507
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 1: Glad you're with us here on talking Cowboys. Kyle Yomantet, Maharrison,

508
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 1: Rob Phillips and Isaiah stand back and I tease this

509
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: going into the break like I normally do. But was

510
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 1: this the best play calling we've seen from Kell and Moore?

511
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,639
Speaker 1: I mean, he takes a quarterback in Andy Dalton that

512
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,400
Speaker 1: really didn't have a whole lot of success at all,

513
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: with a star on the side of his helmet his

514
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 1: first two starts as a Dallas Cowboy. He comes off

515
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 1: of COVID and concussion protocols and he comes in and

516
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:39,120
Speaker 1: it seemed like the play callings finally went toward his strengths.

517
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 1: It played to his strengths, and that was getting rid

518
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:43,919
Speaker 1: of the football quickly. It was putting it on the

519
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 1: money and allowing him to make plays in a pocket

520
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 1: of course they made the switch at the offensive line.

521
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about that coming up here in a

522
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 1: minute as well. But heck when whenever it comes to

523
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: the play calling yesterday, what impressed you the most with

524
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 1: what Kellen Moore brought to the table. You have to

525
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 1: excuse me right now, Kyle, I want to relinquish you

526
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 1: give me the question. Please, Isaiah Flora's yours? Please, Isaiah, please?

527
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 1: Feeling in the people, Come on, it's Isaiah's. Hey, he's

528
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 1: been clothing before the show as well. Let him have

529
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 1: this moment. No, no, I mean, not nothing to gloat about,

530
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 1: but no, Kelly Moore has increasingly gotten better every week

531
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 1: over the past three weeks. That's facts, right, Um, no

532
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 1: emotion straight, no chaser. Uh, he's gotten better every week,

533
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 1: and I think he I think it was a shock

534
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 1: to him officuely when Dak went down, and it took

535
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 1: him a couple of weeks to adjust. It definitely took

536
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 1: him a couple weeks. Suggests not only did he have

537
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 1: to adjust not having Dak, he had to adjust to

538
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 1: the office a line that was that was beat up

539
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,439
Speaker 1: pretty bad as well, and they were playing musical chairs.

540
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 1: Coach Philip has done a heck of a job getting

541
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 1: some stability there now and getting the best five guys

542
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:51,879
Speaker 1: out there. And I think Kelly Moore has done a

543
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 1: good job of figuring out what he has at his

544
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,880
Speaker 1: um at you know, you know what what ammo he has,

545
00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 1: and how to how to manipulate those things. Um Any

546
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 1: Dalton man, I think he gave him a great game plan,

547
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: a manageable game plan to allow him to build confidence.

548
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 1: There's no question whether or not any Dalton he'st in

549
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 1: my eyes. Everybody knows that, no question whether or not

550
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 1: any Dalton can get the job done. But you still,

551
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,640
Speaker 1: no matter how successful somebody's past has been, when they

552
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:16,920
Speaker 1: show up in your present, you have to build their

553
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,439
Speaker 1: confidence up. And that's what he hit. That's what this

554
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 1: game was all about, was getting Anie Dalton out there,

555
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,160
Speaker 1: making him feel secure with that office ave line, making

556
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,680
Speaker 1: his receivers feel confident within the ability for him to

557
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:28,439
Speaker 1: deliver the ball. That's why we saw a lot of

558
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 1: slant routes, right, We saw a ton of slant routes,

559
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 1: and he put the ball on the money one slant route.

560
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 1: He eyed him down too long, and the heck of

561
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 1: a linebacker Kendricks picked him off. He just stayed on

562
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:39,680
Speaker 1: that guy too long. But aside from that, I think

563
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:41,399
Speaker 1: Annie Dalton played a heck of a game, played a

564
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 1: smart game, throw the ball away, made good decisions, and

565
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 1: overall this this offense was able to move the ball.

566
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 1: And let's not forget it back the fact that this

567
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 1: running game got going and he trusted the running game.

568
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 1: He went back to it over and over and over again,

569
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 1: and it set us up for success in the passing game.

570
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 1: So great job by kill him Moore, A great job

571
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 1: by this entire offense. I'm just making things happen straight,

572
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 1: no chaser, I love it, man, I mean for me,

573
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,399
Speaker 1: I felt as though the Bibe week was so was

574
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 1: good for Keller Moore. Man. Maybe he went and spent

575
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:13,120
Speaker 1: the night over Coach Mike McCarthy's house and had cowboy

576
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:18,399
Speaker 1: Cowboy nachos. Even go to the house, they had the bubble.

577
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: You said something something happened, they had something something happened. Yeah,

578
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 1: something something happened. Because one of the things that I

579
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,239
Speaker 1: noticed in the play call in this game was it

580
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:34,119
Speaker 1: was a lot more subdued than the other games that

581
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 1: we've seen. No Wildcat, none of the triple option, re

582
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,719
Speaker 1: double reverses. I think they just stuck to a basic

583
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 1: game plan that that had a lot of success in it.

584
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 1: And I think your offensive line gave you that confidence

585
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 1: coming in that you can get that done. Zeke Man,

586
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 1: we talked about it last week and him having success

587
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 1: would be the reason that Andy would have success, and

588
00:28:55,560 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 1: that's true. They had to. He bludgeoned the Minnesota defense

589
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 1: in that first half, and those were tough yards and

590
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 1: then when you came you came right back with Tony Pollard.

591
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard just slashed them and it was it was

592
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 1: a great one two punch combination. And this was a

593
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 1: heavyweight fight, man, seriously, between two two teams that needed

594
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 1: to win, and they went back and forth. And I

595
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 1: just loved the play call, and I love the fact

596
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 1: that Amari Cooper showed up on this in a big way.

597
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 1: I mean with some critical catches, but also our tight

598
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 1: end play. So, like I said, everybody got involved from

599
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 1: an offensive standpoint, but I thought that you know where

600
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 1: we've been used to seeing with other guys with the

601
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 1: double reverses and things like that, and even Zeke taking

602
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 1: a direct snap, all of those things, you know, were

603
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 1: put to the wayside and we went with a more

604
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 1: conventional play calling with Andy Dalton, which I think Andy

605
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 1: Dalton really did well his twenty two thirty two excuse me,

606
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 1: twenty two to thirty two with two hundred yards. I

607
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 1: mean that he just played within himself. That was more

608
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 1: of a bus driver, facility tator role. That's all he

609
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 1: had to do. He didn't have to play outside of himself.

610
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 1: And I think if you can stick to something like that, uh,

611
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 1: that's gonna be that's gonna be good for us. But

612
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 1: I won't lot see that first quarter when he got

613
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 1: he went on that run and Andy Dogg went on

614
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 1: that run. I was screaming duck from my couch because

615
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 1: I was like, get down please. Oh he went. He

616
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 1: was flying into home base that yeah win. But you're right, Isaiah,

617
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton did a wonderful job. Yeah, he got down

618
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 1: in a hurry on that one, and I don't blame

619
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 1: him for it. Lost, Rob pet lose me. Oh yeah,

620
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 1: we can hear you, Rob, go ahead and keep going

621
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: if we can. If you can hear us, go ahead

622
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 1: and keep going because we can. Yeah. So no balance, baby,

623
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:44,479
Speaker 1: all about balance. You guys hit on it. Thirty thirty one,

624
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 1: rushes thirty two passes, and when your backup quarterbacks are

625
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 1: in the game, you've got to be able to protect them.

626
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 1: Whether it's Andy Dalton who's had one hundred and thirty

627
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 1: six career starts or not. You've got to be able

628
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 1: to uh give them some some type of running games

629
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 1: to lean on. And the last three games, the Cowboys

630
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 1: are averaging one hundred and fifty plus yards rushing. That

631
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 1: would put them like fifth in the league if that

632
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 1: were over the course of the entire season. They are

633
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 1: really running the football well. We're seeing a little Ron

634
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: Day and Tiki Barber type stuff with the thunder and lightning,

635
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,959
Speaker 1: with Tony Pollard getting softened up by Zeke and then

636
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 1: and then breaking off big runs. That's two games in

637
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 1: a row. Now, that's just what they've needed to do.

638
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 1: And they did have the one interception, but they're not

639
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 1: turning it over as much. Vikings had a bunch of penalties,

640
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 1: Cowboys didn't. They allowed themselves to keep the game close

641
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 1: and give them a chance to have more balance. And

642
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 1: I know we'll get into the Zach Martin switch, but

643
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 1: that paid off as well. Offensive line just did a

644
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 1: terrific job. I think that was their best game of

645
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 1: the season run blocking and pass blocking. Yeah, they really did.

646
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 1: They paved the way and that the offensive line found

647
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 1: a way to make Zeke and Pollard successful at different occasions.

648
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 1: And I think that's something that you got to look

649
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 1: forward to also. Whenever it comes to Andy Dalton, I

650
00:31:57,720 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 1: kind of want to address this really quickly. He's just

651
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 1: the fourth quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys over the past

652
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 1: ten seasons to get a win. Dak Prescott has forty two,

653
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 1: Tony Romo has thirty nine, and then the last one

654
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 1: not named Dak Prescott to get a win was Matt

655
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 1: Castle and he had one win back in Week thirteen

656
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 1: of twenty nine or twenty fifteen against the Washington football team.

657
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 1: And Andy Dalton joins that elusive list. He's the fourth

658
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 1: name on that list over the last ten seasons. As

659
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 1: the Cowboys do improved the three and seven, but there

660
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 1: were things that Andy Dalton didn't do quite well. Isaiah

661
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:34,720
Speaker 1: mentioned it earlier. Yeah, he put the ball on the

662
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 1: money on a couple of occasions. There were tight windows

663
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 1: that he was fitting the football through play after play,

664
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 1: but there were also some throws he missed. I mean

665
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 1: the one throw that got picked off by Kendricks in

666
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 1: the middle of that defense. That was a miss throw.

667
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 1: He threw it on the back hip of Dalton Schultz.

668
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 1: That was not where that football was supposed to be in.

669
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 1: Kendricks reached out, dove and made a fantastic play after

670
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 1: reading Dalton's eyes. But I liked the way that he

671
00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 1: bounced back from that Isaiah and the way that he

672
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 1: was to kind of take that pick settled down. It

673
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 1: was a veteran move. He came back in and then

674
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 1: he let a drive right after that that ultimately ended

675
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 1: up in points a couple moments later. But that's what

676
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 1: I wanted to see from Andy Dalton is when things

677
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 1: go south, you remain calm and you come back out

678
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 1: there and you have a short memory. No pun intended

679
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 1: there with the concussion stuff, but that's something that I

680
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 1: think Andy Dalton brings for you that maybe a Garrick

681
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 1: Gilbert doesn't. Yeah, I mean he's a VET. I mean

682
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 1: that's that's a plain and simple. And I alluded to

683
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 1: the confidence building, right and everybody's like, Oh, he's a

684
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 1: he's a VET. He shouldn't have to build his confidence.

685
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 1: That's that's bs He's in a new system, a new team,

686
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 1: new officive COORDINATORUM, and a brand new officive line for show.

687
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 1: So obviously he had the security, the sense of security

688
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 1: to actually know, okay, even after making a mistake like that,

689
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 1: I don't have to worry about dudes in my face.

690
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 1: So I actually can sit back here and make it up, right,

691
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 1: I can make it up. I don't have to try

692
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 1: to run and do something outside of my outside of

693
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 1: my attributes. You know this, This is something that I

694
00:33:58,240 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 1: can do. I can sit back here and throw the

695
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 1: ball and I you know, we talked about him, you know,

696
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 1: I know yesterday I said it during the game, how

697
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 1: he sat back. He was waiting on a lot of receivers.

698
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 1: Is as well as I think he played rights as

699
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:11,760
Speaker 1: much of us to stride he made from the previous games,

700
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 1: he still has a long way to go in terms

701
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 1: of his continuity with these receivers, and that is so

702
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 1: important UM going forward. But it's also something to look

703
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,840
Speaker 1: forward to because it's seemingly as well as they seem

704
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:25,239
Speaker 1: connected yesterday. Just think how much better they're going to

705
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 1: to continue to get week after week as they get

706
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 1: more in sync. He's waiting on these guys to get

707
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 1: out their breaks. He's not throwing guys open. They haven't

708
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:35,799
Speaker 1: got that correlation yet. Um you know that on that

709
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:37,799
Speaker 1: on that past to Kendricks, like I said, he sat

710
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 1: on a slant route through the first hole and try

711
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 1: to wait for him to come out the second hole. Well,

712
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 1: guess whether there's an all pro middle linebacker right there

713
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 1: that I was watching the same thing. So he's gonna

714
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 1: he's gonna get continue to get better, and these receivers

715
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:50,800
Speaker 1: are gonna continue to get better. The past to UM,

716
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 1: you know, the past to UM to CD, you know

717
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 1: those guys were gonna get they were they were out

718
00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 1: of sync on that. CD just made a heck of

719
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 1: a play. Things like that that you can I gentified

720
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 1: your teams, you got identified during the game. It's like, ah,

721
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 1: it's not it's not dialed in yet. But guess what

722
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 1: that play gave him the confidence and say, Okay, now

723
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,399
Speaker 1: I know what CD's capable of, right, and CD trust

724
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 1: me that I'm gonna throw it up there and give

725
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 1: me a chance. So this is gonna get better twenty Well,

726
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,759
Speaker 1: I gotta take it to him because I just I

727
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 1: just thought about it. We just went the whole show

728
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 1: almost and did not talk about this amazing, amazing catch

729
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:27,920
Speaker 1: by CD. Lad was fantastic. I don't know that it's

730
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 1: so good. Oh my god, Oh my god, man, I mean,

731
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 1: I don't like people are comparing. And even Nick Eatman said,

732
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 1: that's the best case he's seen an eighty eight in

733
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,320
Speaker 1: an eighty eight jersey. Uh. That was going out of

734
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 1: the limb right then, Nick. But still that was that

735
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:49,799
Speaker 1: was That was an amazing catch. Just you've seen him

736
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:54,879
Speaker 1: do that whole year though. But that absolutely, man, that

737
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:58,719
Speaker 1: was phenomenal. CD. That was for that was for You're

738
00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 1: gonna have to get this guy a real nickname. You know.

739
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:03,719
Speaker 1: I've been wanting to call him the Lambeau and I

740
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 1: just think Lambeau's are just expensive go carts. But get

741
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 1: a Ferra if you got the money are Ford. But

742
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 1: still that was that was an amazing That was an

743
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 1: amazing catch. Man, always and always for it. And I

744
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 1: want people to understand how difficult of a catch that was.

745
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:21,279
Speaker 1: That that was a corner route right so down in

746
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 1: the red zone. As a as a quarterback, you have

747
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:25,880
Speaker 1: to get the ball out right, whether he's out of

748
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 1: his break or not. You're throwing the ball. You're taught

749
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:29,879
Speaker 1: to throw the ball to the pylon, so you're taught

750
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 1: to throw it to the far up corner. That way,

751
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:33,799
Speaker 1: either your guy catches it or it goes out of

752
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:37,319
Speaker 1: bounds without the ability for interception. So he threw it

753
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:41,799
Speaker 1: at at that angle. Well, CD took a flatter angle right,

754
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 1: So he took an angle more like an out route.

755
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 1: So that's why you saw CD take that out route angle,

756
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:48,359
Speaker 1: which is not the proper angle that you typically take

757
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 1: out a corner route. But he made it right by

758
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 1: somehow adjusting his body to where where where Andy had

759
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:58,239
Speaker 1: originally thrown the ball that landmark. So heck of a catch. Again,

760
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:00,400
Speaker 1: that's just them not being on the same page, right,

761
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:03,319
Speaker 1: they're figuring it out. But CD somehow made it right.

762
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 1: And that is a very very tough catch because all

763
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 1: his momentum was going towards the sideline. I don't know

764
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:10,360
Speaker 1: how he got his body to go back towards the

765
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:12,440
Speaker 1: end and back of the end zone. That's exactly what

766
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 1: I asked Andy Dalton after the game. I said, because

767
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:17,279
Speaker 1: on the TV copy, you watch it and you think

768
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 1: he threw it, he overthrew it, He overshoot him. But

769
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 1: Andy said in a nice way, he said Yeah, he

770
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 1: kind of ran it flatter than I thought he would.

771
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 1: But that's how gifted and just unbelievably talented he is

772
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:31,719
Speaker 1: to be able to come back and you're falling backwards,

773
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:33,360
Speaker 1: to be able to make that catch. And it was

774
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 1: kind of a two handed catch that kind of looked

775
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:37,080
Speaker 1: like a one handed catch. By the end of it,

776
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 1: you're right, they're gonna get on the same page as

777
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,400
Speaker 1: they continue to play together doing plays like that. And

778
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 1: here's another And I wanted to say, I'm gonna say

779
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:48,319
Speaker 1: one more thing to read the reason why quarterbacks while

780
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:50,280
Speaker 1: we're taught to throw the ball to that high angle

781
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 1: because you can plant off your right foot and come

782
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 1: back down flatter to the angle that CD originally took. Right,

783
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:58,279
Speaker 1: So if I throw a ball up and I throw

784
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 1: it flat and I take a high angle, I can

785
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 1: put my right foot in the ground and come back

786
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 1: downhill to catch at the ball. But what you saw

787
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 1: yesterday is Andy throw exactly where he was supposed to.

788
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:09,879
Speaker 1: Cede took the angle he wasn't supposed to. Look how

789
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:11,840
Speaker 1: difficult it is to get your body going back the

790
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:15,279
Speaker 1: other way. That's why your original angle is set at

791
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 1: the high corner and you would just down. Now I'm

792
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 1: getting I'm learning we might have to bring break this

793
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 1: out on the film room this week and kind of

794
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:24,719
Speaker 1: talk about it because a lot of people think that

795
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:26,880
Speaker 1: was a bad throw from Andy Dalton, and in a

796
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,840
Speaker 1: live copy it looked like a bad throw from Andy

797
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:31,840
Speaker 1: Dalton based on the route running, but I guess the

798
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:33,879
Speaker 1: way the things were okay, it actually ended up being

799
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:36,400
Speaker 1: pretty solid. Now, I also want to throw a little

800
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 1: added wrench into this that I think makes it better

801
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 1: whenever it comes to that catch and what happened one

802
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:45,479
Speaker 1: It was first rounder on first rounder both rookies. Jeff

803
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:48,720
Speaker 1: Gladney was the corner Ceedee Lamb was the wide receiver,

804
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:50,880
Speaker 1: And not only that, were they first round tea or

805
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:54,760
Speaker 1: first round I guess partners in the twenty twenty draft.

806
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,880
Speaker 1: But they've played against each other on a couple of

807
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:02,440
Speaker 1: occasions already. Gladney and Lamb battled each other between TCU

808
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 1: and Oklahoma a number of times throughout their collegiate career,

809
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:09,319
Speaker 1: So this wasn't the first time that Gladdeney had seen

810
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:12,240
Speaker 1: Cede Lamb. This wasn't the first time those two teams

811
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 1: that played, or those two guys that played each other

812
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 1: when maybe normally you're just like, oh, he's a rookie.

813
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 1: He hasn't been in this situation before. No, it was

814
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:22,839
Speaker 1: against Jeff Gladdney, who has seen Cede Lamb played against him,

815
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:25,080
Speaker 1: covered him, and I think that makes that catch even

816
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 1: that much more impressive from Cede land standpoint, the way

817
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 1: he was able to adjust his body back and make

818
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 1: the grab. Now, we do have to take our second break.

819
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:35,720
Speaker 1: When we come back, Let's talk about the offensive line

820
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 1: and the switch that was finally made that we've been

821
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:40,799
Speaker 1: calling for all year, and just how it turned out

822
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 1: when we returned here on Talking Cowboys, we're backing the

844
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:17,799
Speaker 1: we should get electricity and stop using candles to see

845
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:20,320
Speaker 1: it night? It's just electricity lights up the room fast,

846
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 1: it's more reliable than candles blowing out, and people seem

847
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:26,719
Speaker 1: to love it nationwide. Well, candles, dear, did you just

855
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:54,439
Speaker 1: you work out or watching highlights from yesterday's Cowboys win

856
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 1: over the Vikings, Blows Quiet Comfort earbuds will let you

857
00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:01,400
Speaker 1: experience audio in a whole new way. Bows Quiet Comfort

858
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:04,440
Speaker 1: earbuds are the official earbuds of the Dallas Cowboys, and

859
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:07,440
Speaker 1: of course talking Cowboys here on this victory Monday. You

860
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 1: can be listening to us through your Bows Quiet Comfort earbuds,

861
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:13,480
Speaker 1: and I think that would be a fantastic use of

862
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:17,360
Speaker 1: those official earbuds of the Dallas Cowboys. Kyle Emans, Isaiah Standback,

863
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:20,439
Speaker 1: Rob Phillips, Heckmharrison. Running out of time here because we've

864
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 1: got a lot to talk about, to say the least,

865
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:23,920
Speaker 1: and we've got three days to do it before our

866
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 1: next Cowboys game, because they've got the Thanksgiving matchup on

867
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:31,280
Speaker 1: Thursday at AT and T Stadium as the football team

868
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:35,080
Speaker 1: the Unnamed Ones come to town. But it's also fun

869
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:39,040
Speaker 1: because it's the first NFC East battle this season where

870
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:43,360
Speaker 1: two teams have one leading into the game the week before.

871
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:46,959
Speaker 1: So the Cowboys and Washington coming out with a win.

872
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 1: And it's the first time two NFCAST teams have one

873
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:54,720
Speaker 1: before playing each other, which I think is just absolutely nuts.

874
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:57,560
Speaker 1: But I kind of want to talk about this offensive line.

875
00:42:57,800 --> 00:42:59,879
Speaker 1: This is a switch we've been wanting to make. Tarry

876
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:03,560
Speaker 1: Steal on the right tackle spot was just not working out. Well,

877
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 1: they did end up making that switch. They bring up

878
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:09,600
Speaker 1: Connor McGovern put them at right guard. That allows Zack

879
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 1: Martin to move out to right tackle. Rob, did you

880
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:15,000
Speaker 1: like the move overall? You already said it earlier? The

881
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:17,120
Speaker 1: offensive line might have played their best game of the year.

882
00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:19,240
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was their best game because

883
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:22,359
Speaker 1: of maybe some of the earliers, but it was one

884
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:26,879
Speaker 1: that they only allowed one sack. Did I like it?

885
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:30,760
Speaker 1: I loved it. I absolutely loved it. I've been wanting

886
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:35,440
Speaker 1: to see best five and I think I've been saying

887
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 1: that that interior or depth compared to their tackle depth.

888
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 1: And so from that standpoint, even though you you know

889
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:45,120
Speaker 1: you lose Tyler, be honest for a few weeks, Joe

890
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:48,719
Speaker 1: Looney comes in plays well, you've got Connor McGovern steps in.

891
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 1: I thought he played well. Some of those run plays

892
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:52,759
Speaker 1: they had was a lot of his work opening things

893
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:56,160
Speaker 1: up in the middle. And Zach Martin. Zach Martin can

894
00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:58,680
Speaker 1: do anything. He can play anywhere. I know that they

895
00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:01,200
Speaker 1: were kind of hesitant to do it it. Um Mike

896
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:04,240
Speaker 1: McCarthy call I see football to try to just shuffle

897
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:06,840
Speaker 1: guys in and out. Well, they played fantasy football yesterday

898
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 1: and they played it pretty well. Like I think, if

899
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:11,960
Speaker 1: if Zach Martin wants to play right tackle for a

900
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:14,719
Speaker 1: season or the rest of this season, he's gonna wind

901
00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 1: up being one of the best right tackles in the league,

902
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:18,440
Speaker 1: and then he'll go back to right guard next year

903
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:20,279
Speaker 1: when everybody's healthy, and he'll be the best right guard

904
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:22,879
Speaker 1: in the league. That's because he for the Hall of Fame.

905
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:25,360
Speaker 1: He can do anything. And it definitely made things easier

906
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:29,359
Speaker 1: for Andy Dalton, no question about it. Due that's that's

907
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:33,399
Speaker 1: that's an amazing compliment, uh Rob. For Zach Martin. He's

908
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:35,120
Speaker 1: a player that I believe that could have played in

909
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:37,960
Speaker 1: any era of football. Ye no, no mask. I mean

910
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:39,600
Speaker 1: he could have played with the leather held man. He's

911
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:43,080
Speaker 1: just that good. I know. Quin Quintin Nelson from Indianapolis

912
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:45,360
Speaker 1: gets a lot of credit for being the next best

913
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:47,839
Speaker 1: UH in the league, But that's Zack Martin. I mean,

914
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:50,839
Speaker 1: it's just his ability, uh it, just to go out

915
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 1: to right tackle. And I don't believe that a lot

916
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:54,880
Speaker 1: of people understand how hard that is from just the

917
00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:58,560
Speaker 1: right brain, left brain, just the mechanics and all of that.

918
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:01,800
Speaker 1: He filled in really well. And you're right, Rob Connor McGovern.

919
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:04,640
Speaker 1: Connor McGovern whom a lot of people have been wanting

920
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:07,479
Speaker 1: to see him in action, Penn State guy that came

921
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:10,879
Speaker 1: out and he was laying people out. And so you know, look,

922
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:13,319
Speaker 1: we come up against the Minnesota defensive line that you

923
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:15,759
Speaker 1: know was kind of questionable, and you see why. So

924
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:17,879
Speaker 1: if we're going to keep the same five guys together,

925
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:20,439
Speaker 1: let's see how they go up against this really good

926
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:24,400
Speaker 1: football team front. I'm gonna keep it short and sweet.

927
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 1: Martin is the cornerstone of our football team. It's a

928
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:31,239
Speaker 1: good way to put it. I think that's a fantastic word.

929
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:34,359
Speaker 1: I think it's a good choice of diction there from

930
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:37,279
Speaker 1: mister Isaiah standback. I like the word cornerstone, and I

931
00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:39,720
Speaker 1: think whenever you put him on the corner, meaning tackle,

932
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:41,960
Speaker 1: I think he's somebody that you can play well for

933
00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:44,840
Speaker 1: you and Hey, the thing is, I don't think you

934
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:47,840
Speaker 1: go away from it, right. This is a move that worked.

935
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:51,800
Speaker 1: It worked in the experiment, worked out in a positive manner.

936
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:54,120
Speaker 1: You gotta win now you come back in a short week.

937
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:56,719
Speaker 1: This is gonna be the same offensive line, barring any

938
00:45:56,719 --> 00:45:59,640
Speaker 1: injuries or setbacks that we don't know about yet because

939
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:02,440
Speaker 1: the injury three reports not out there. But this is

940
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:04,560
Speaker 1: something you're going to see moving forward with the Dallas

941
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 1: Cowboys in I think we'll talk about it a little

942
00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:09,520
Speaker 1: bit more tomorrow about what we thought from the rest

943
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:12,160
Speaker 1: of that offensive line, like guys like Joe Looney and

944
00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:15,799
Speaker 1: Connor McGovern when we come back on tomorrow's edition once

945
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 1: again nine thirty tomorrow, bring your fan questions, Fans on

946

947
00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:24,239
Speaker 1: normally do, even though we do have a short week.

948
00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:27,600
Speaker 1: But we're also going to start previewing the Washington game

949
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 1: in that final segment tomorrow as well. So plenty to

950
00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:34,480
Speaker 1: talk about after the Cowboys thirty one twenty eight win.

951
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:37,080
Speaker 1: But that's gonna do it for us today. Thanks for
