Speaker 6: tech department, use of them.
Speaker 3: You're supposed to be a booster.
Speaker 2: You gotta start like saying, what do you We got
Speaker 2: to build an indoor.
Speaker 6: I've always wanted to be part of like a country
Speaker 6: club or like one of those what is it called
Speaker 6: the secret Society?
Speaker 5: Mean skull and Bones. Little them has one of those.
Speaker 3: I'm sure they do.
Speaker 2: I'm in talent.
Speaker 3: You're a boost, so you need to kick in this
Speaker 3: kick in really good transfer portal from duncan Ville.
Speaker 2: Let's start getting plays over here. We got to get
Speaker 2: some talent.
Speaker 6: I mean, the crown achievement is Cole Beasley, and I
Speaker 6: want to change that.
Speaker 5: I want to change that.
Speaker 1: Joe Looney is a coach there now, Okay, Joe, Joe,
Speaker 1: I love just called them. Sorry Joe, It's true. I
Speaker 1: mean the record is the record records or anything about it?
Speaker 5: The record.
Speaker 2: You are who your record says you are? Bam.
Speaker 1: The Cowboys are five five and one. Let's talk about
Speaker 1: little news and notes. Jerry Jones just got off of
Speaker 1: one O five through the Fan.
Speaker 3: He did just get off one on five through the fan.
Speaker 5: How many will have a story for you football?
Speaker 2: Oh no?
Speaker 3: However will they survive?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 3: Jerry Jones has talked about several things on one five
Speaker 3: through the Fan. First, let's happen with the injury report.
Speaker 3: Keeping in mind, the Cowboys, as we all know, are
Speaker 3: on an exceptionally short week. Okay, so don't expect full
Speaker 3: blown practices going on here. I say that to say
Speaker 3: yesterday was a walkthrough. Okay, today might be a job through, right, y'all?
Speaker 3: What a soft jay. The headliner for those who may
Speaker 3: not be available against the Kansas City Chiefs on Thanksgiving
Speaker 3: is Tyler Gott And he left the eventual victory over
Speaker 3: the Philadelphia Eagles. That that felt good? Say, the eventual
Speaker 3: victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. Yeah yeah, and like those words,
Speaker 3: with an ankle injury. He did not return. It's not
Speaker 3: looking good for Tyler Guyton. When we talked to Brian
Speaker 3: Schottenheimer on yesterday, in conjunction with what Jerry Jones told
Speaker 3: one oh five three the Fan this morning. H it's
Speaker 3: it's a bleak outlook as far as him being able
Speaker 3: to turn around and play four days after suffering an
Speaker 3: ankle injury, in which case he's having a difficult time
Speaker 3: not limping on. So as we have this conversation, I
Speaker 3: will go ahead and put a strike through on Tyler Guyton,
Speaker 3: and I would pencil in Nate Thomas as the starting
Speaker 3: left tackle. So that's the that's the not great news.
Speaker 3: The other news is, you know, pretty good, pretty good
Speaker 3: Kayln Carson. I know a lot of fans were concerned
Speaker 3: about Kaylen Carson. Turns out he was just battling dehydration.
Speaker 3: That's why he was in and out of the game,
Speaker 3: so they so not like an actual not an actual injury.
Speaker 3: He was just battling dehydration. So when they felt they
Speaker 3: had it under control, they sent them back in, but
Speaker 3: then he started cramping again, so he had to exit again.
Speaker 3: So it was just it was a weird.
Speaker 6: He seemed really upset off the field whenever he's coming
Speaker 6: off and through his helm matting.
Speaker 3: Which makes when you cramping up, and you're just like.
Speaker 6: Totally understanding, going on, totally understanding it is something real injury.
Speaker 3: I'm just saying, no, no, not not something that would
Speaker 3: lingering thing. It's what I'm kind of kind of a
Speaker 3: fluke thing. And anyone who's played any kind of athletics
Speaker 3: understands that sometimes you just you cramp up for some reason.
Speaker 3: And yeah, Isaiah, don't be quiet.
Speaker 2: Yeah what are you doing?
Speaker 5: If I need to get you one of these.
Speaker 3: That's it's weird because at this level, at this time
Speaker 3: of the year. But yeah, but I would also.
Speaker 2: So he hasn't played a time.
Speaker 3: I don't care. It's been off job to stay hydrated.
Speaker 3: Hey do you do you guys remember this might have
Speaker 3: been like three four years ago, give or take. The
Speaker 3: Cowboys had like this rash of cramping that would happen
Speaker 3: with the players. The time of the year it was
Speaker 3: around actually it was midpoint, maybe slightly before midpoint summer,
Speaker 3: makes sense they would losing. So that's the thing for
Speaker 3: people that are out there and one of my face
Speaker 3: looks like this. Hydration they always hydration is a part
Speaker 3: of your maintenance, right as a professional athlete. It's more
Speaker 3: difficult in the summertime because of the weight and water
Speaker 3: that you're expelling during practice, during the game on any
Speaker 3: given day because of how hot it is. So anytime
Speaker 3: in summertime to transition the first part of the year,
Speaker 3: that first month really of the year, you're losing ten
Speaker 3: to you know, and depending on your position, anywhere from
Speaker 3: five to fifteen pounds of water weight. So cramping is
Speaker 3: almost part of it. It's a part of it, right.
Speaker 3: You hope that you don't you hydrate as much as
Speaker 3: you can, but I don't know how how many times
Speaker 3: you guys have poured out fifteen pounds of water, but
Speaker 3: it's a lot, right, So your body will get dehydrated
Speaker 3: this time of the year playing indoor. There's really no
Speaker 3: excuse for it, is what I'm saying, Right, that's a
Speaker 3: preventable measure and most certainly preventing. So that's why I
Speaker 3: get that look, like, how it can you come into
Speaker 3: that game dehydrated? It most certainly, And even before games
Speaker 3: there's a line of guys that get ivs before the game, Like,
Speaker 3: so there's many checkpoints, checkpoints that could have been prevented
Speaker 3: in terms of him, you know, missing time in the
Speaker 3: game to Kyle's.
Speaker 6: Point though, he's ramping up for the first time basically
Speaker 6: this season, over the last three weeks, and you know,
Speaker 6: maybe this just was part of the getting back into
Speaker 6: the rhythm of things. Totally understandable. But yeah, of course
Speaker 6: you'd expect him to be hydrated. But it's just one
Speaker 6: of those things and probably why you saw some of
Speaker 6: the frustration on his face coming off the field.
Speaker 5: Hitch, I shouldn't. I shouldn't be dealing with it right now.
Speaker 5: I need to be through.
Speaker 3: And the good news is is that he's learned the lesson.
Speaker 3: Not an injury. Yeah, he's not an injury.
Speaker 5: That's the good Yeah, thank them.
Speaker 3: Will be on the field again, pickle juice, City Chiefs, everybody.
Speaker 3: That means he needs to have a jar pickle juice
Speaker 3: on the sideline. So be it another round of good news.
Speaker 3: George Pickens. We know that he was dealing with would
Speaker 3: now be described as a contusion. A contusion. Brian Schottenheimer
Speaker 3: said yesterday that it's more so just soreness that's being
Speaker 3: worked through. He basically expects that George Pickens will be
Speaker 3: on the fields. A good thing. He has time to recover, right, No, No,
Speaker 3: not at all. Because player safety and you know, and
Speaker 3: the like, right, nothing.
Speaker 2: Patrick, but then we'll go we'll go straight into the many.
Speaker 3: By after that. No, yeah, three and twelve, I mean yeah,
Speaker 3: not talking about a record, Yeah, player safety. So George Pickens,
Speaker 3: he's dealing with some He's dealing with some soreness, as
Speaker 3: is also Digizua. Now, I will say, based on how
Speaker 3: the answers from Shoddy and Jerry Jones were qualified, it
Speaker 3: sounds as if the only one that they haven't a
Speaker 3: real concern with is Tyler Guidan. So also diggi Zua
Speaker 3: did not participate with an elbow injury, but sounds like
Speaker 3: he will be fine. They're just gonna be cautious with
Speaker 3: him over this very short period of time. Same for
Speaker 3: George Pickens. Soreness with the knee half should be fine.
Speaker 3: Cavante Turpin missed, practiced with the walkthrough, I should say,
Speaker 3: with a shoulder issue also an illness should be fine. Uh,
Speaker 3: And everyone else either participated in a limited capacity or
Speaker 3: in a full blown capacity. So again a straw circle
Speaker 3: around Tyler Guyton. He's the one that likely will not play.
Speaker 3: Everyone else looks like they will be in probably won't
Speaker 3: practice this week for guys like, oh, so, excuse me,
Speaker 3: George Pickens, Cavante Turpin, just to make sure that they
Speaker 3: they are as good to go. But trust me, when
Speaker 3: that bar gets kicked off, you're going to see George
Speaker 3: Pickins on.
Speaker 5: Life and going off of player safety real quick.
Speaker 6: Just to clarify, there was no actual practice, full fledged
Speaker 6: practice yesterday.
Speaker 5: It was a walkthrough coer and that is an estimated.
Speaker 6: If there was a practice yesterday, these guys would be
Speaker 6: inactive or did not practice.
Speaker 3: And speaking of George Pickins, what about him? Jerry Jones
Speaker 3: said something else about him? Oh no, he was asked,
Speaker 3: of course, because you know, it's George Pickens and he
Speaker 3: should be asked. He should be asked. Jerry Jones was asked,
Speaker 3: is there a is there a version of the multiverse
Speaker 3: in which he does not envision or see George Pickins
Speaker 3: in a Cowboys uniform after twenty twenty five? And I quote, no,
Speaker 3: I do not. We've got two number one receivers and
Speaker 3: that's just exceptional at a time when our quarterback is
Speaker 3: at the best he's ever been. End quote Jerry Jones.
Speaker 3: Jerry neither Jerry nor Shoddy, nor Dak nor CD nor
Speaker 3: anyone you speak with is being koy Isaiah when it
Speaker 3: comes to George Pickings. Okay, they are all yeah, no,
Speaker 3: they are absolutely.
Speaker 2: I'm glad they're not that guy can't stands.
Speaker 5: I don't like that. I don't like that.
Speaker 3: But all these guys, including upwards to the ownership, they
Speaker 3: are standing on the front porch center stage to let
Speaker 3: George Pickens know. There's one way to let him know.
Speaker 3: Fact now, Jerry Jones was also.
Speaker 5: Asked invite them over for dinner, given.
Speaker 3: Given how the market is, and given how George giving
Speaker 3: I like that, given how the market is, and given
Speaker 3: how George Pickens is playing, would he be Jerry comfortable
Speaker 3: with a situation in which possibly George Pickens earns more
Speaker 3: than ceedee lamb. I will say he deflected that one.
Speaker 3: He got that thing right there. So basically Jerry Jones said,
Speaker 3: let's just just just pump the brakes on that kind
Speaker 3: of stuff. Let's just see how everyone around there. He
Speaker 3: was like old man. So yeah, so that's what we
Speaker 3: all right now with I don't think about with David
Speaker 3: Schapel and a racial draft. Now wait one dog, I'm
Speaker 3: midnute run.
Speaker 2: Now, uh. Kind of going along the same lines, there.
Speaker 1: We we had uh, we had Stephen Jones on pregame
Speaker 1: Live this week, as we normally we did, and I
Speaker 1: asked him the question I asked him. I was like,
Speaker 1: we were just finishing talking about George Pickens, so it
Speaker 1: was a natural transition to ask about George Pickens and
Speaker 1: the future that he has. He was kind of a
Speaker 1: little less upfront about it than Jerry was, but I thought,
Speaker 1: and you can go back and listen to it. It's
Speaker 1: posted on YouTube. It's posted on Dallas Cowboys dot com.
Speaker 5: So dot com.
Speaker 3: Sorry it is going. Sorry, I'm living at the analytics man,
Speaker 3: I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: There we go.
Speaker 1: So it's up on YouTube, up on Dallas Cowboys dot
Speaker 1: com and you can go look at it whenever you want.
Speaker 1: But the interviews about midway through the show, and asked him,
Speaker 1: has there ever has there been talks? And he was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: pretty much, there's been talks now between Pickets and the representatives,
Speaker 1: but within the front office is the question, but not noncommittal,
Speaker 1: Like it wasn't noncommittal, but he was just kind of
Speaker 1: less upfront about everything.
Speaker 3: Non committal us done. It's hoisty everything, like that's where
Speaker 3: people need to understand, like you could pat him on
Speaker 3: his back, you can give him a high five, you
Speaker 3: can give him a Jason Garrett slap on the cheeks.
Speaker 3: At the end of the day, it's it's always going
Speaker 3: to be noncommittal until he gets the bag. You know
Speaker 3: what I'm saying, Like it just is what it is.
Speaker 2: It is.
Speaker 3: That's how you show guys nowadays. Nowadays, guys just they
Speaker 3: want their cash, they want their bread. Which the only
Speaker 3: way that you you could promise me you can send
Speaker 3: me a dog on a letter, put it in my locker,
Speaker 3: and not until I get that bread. I agree.
Speaker 2: Pay the man. Pay the man.
Speaker 1: All right, Let's take our first break so that way
Speaker 1: we have plenty of time here for what's coming up
Speaker 1: on the next side of the segment. It's a little
Speaker 1: bit of some q be vision. More to come with

Speaker 2: Guys, here we go week thirteen. That sounds crazy to say, Yeah, well,
Speaker 2: it's Thanksgiving.
Speaker 3: It is giving of thanks. I'm sure mister Pickens would
Speaker 3: love them to be thankfully giving. On the way, how
Speaker 3: about we hand out some l's. Starting off with the
Speaker 3: Kansas City Chiefs though, okay, Casey's coming to the town,
Speaker 3: coming to get that work. Let's talk about their defense. Okay,
Speaker 3: where do I see them being most dangerous? What do
Speaker 3: they do the best? It's a great question. Well, first
Speaker 3: of all, they have somebody that I have the utmost
Speaker 3: respect for as their defensive coordinator, and Steve Spagnodle, Yes,
Speaker 3: he is amazing.
Speaker 5: He's pretty good.
Speaker 2: H Mickey spag No, no, no, no.
Speaker 3: They probably related though different spells. It's all the same.
Speaker 3: It's like William and Williams.
Speaker 6: Mickey went into the witness related Kyle go back in
Speaker 6: the history books, which switch a couple.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's he's really good. I have the utmost respect
Speaker 3: for him. I can tell you one thing about him.
Speaker 3: So we call him Spags. Okay, let nobody says. Spags
Speaker 3: is somebody who wants to put you in the situation
Speaker 3: to get you in third and long. That's that is
Speaker 3: like literally the blueprint first bags. He wants.
Speaker 5: That's not a good thing for the offense, is it.
Speaker 3: No, it's not. I'm just telling you what he wants
Speaker 3: to do. Okay, This is when Ken City's most dangerous.
Speaker 3: King City is most dangerous when they get you in
Speaker 3: third and eight, third seven plus, right, that's when they
Speaker 3: send the dogs after you. Spags wants to light you up.
Speaker 3: He will send He has a whole green book full
Speaker 3: of blitzes and he wants to get after you. That's
Speaker 3: what he wants to do. They take away the run.
Speaker 3: That's what they do.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 3: They make it very difficult for you to run the ball.
Speaker 3: And there's a dude in the middle of their defense
Speaker 3: that makes that a little bit difficult.
Speaker 5: Is that number ninety five?
Speaker 3: Yeah, ninety five, Yeah, Christopher Christopher Jones, Yeah, big ninety five.
Speaker 3: He's a problem when he wants to be he takes
Speaker 3: plays off. He takes plays off. You turn the film on.
Speaker 3: You can't help. But notice the fact that he is somebody.
Speaker 3: If he doesn't want to be blocked, you can't block him.
Speaker 3: Not to mean guys. You can say that about in
Speaker 3: this league. There was Aaron Donald years ago, but he
Speaker 3: didn't take plays off. Chris Jones is like that. Different
Speaker 3: body type, different build, different different techniques for sure. But
Speaker 3: difference is he takes plays off. He doesn't go one
Speaker 3: hundred percent all the time. You can frustrate him, you
Speaker 3: can fluster him to the point where he just literally
Speaker 3: is just checking the box. You like to get him
Speaker 3: to that point. But I say all that to say
Speaker 3: that you have to find some way to get some
Speaker 3: movement at the line of scrimmage. These guys do a
Speaker 3: good job at up front clogging things up, okay, in
Speaker 3: terms of their interior linemen, consuming your three interior linemen
Speaker 3: and the things that we've been talking about by our
Speaker 3: linebackers the last few weeks, which is playing downhill. They
Speaker 3: do that. These guys fly to the ball down hill. Now,
Speaker 3: how does that help you? If you can have some
Speaker 3: form of a consistent running game, some form of beause
Speaker 3: I'm talking about three yards in the cloud of dust
Speaker 3: here and there no negative plays, obviously, you can then
Speaker 3: get to your play action game.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 3: DAK does a really good job of play action. They
Speaker 3: don't do a great job against play action quarterbacks. There
Speaker 3: is plenty of space behind their second level defenders because
Speaker 3: they're so aggressive in the run defense. They want to
Speaker 3: play downhill. They play fast. This is a fast defense.
Speaker 3: Let me say that across the board, this is a
Speaker 3: defense that is freaking kohonas to the wall. They're going
Speaker 3: down here. They're trying to hit you right and they
Speaker 3: want to stop you at the line of scrimmag so
Speaker 3: that they can blitz. If you can get their respect,
Speaker 3: demand their respect for which you're rushing attack, you think
Speaker 3: it can kill them. In a passing game off of
Speaker 3: play action, you can literally destroy them. But you have
Speaker 3: to get to that point, which means just you have
Speaker 3: to gain that respect in terms of their secondary things
Speaker 3: that I or let me let me work down the line.
Speaker 3: Chris Jones ninety five somebody I have high regard for.
Speaker 3: George carl Offtis is somebody I used to rant and
Speaker 3: rave about. He's taken not one step back this year,
Speaker 3: he's taking two steps back. In my opinion. He's not
Speaker 3: the guy he used to be. He used to be
Speaker 3: in the category of like not Max Crosby in terms
Speaker 3: of his productivity, but it's like a second n but
Speaker 3: in terms of like just relentless effort, just an absolute
Speaker 3: mad man that used to be him that I'm not
Speaker 3: seeing it on film this year. I want to be
Speaker 3: his fan. I want to cheer for him, you know,
Speaker 3: not this week, but I don't. I'm not seeing it.
Speaker 5: What are you seeing differently from his performance last year
Speaker 5: versus this year?
Speaker 3: I think his leverage, I think his leverage and his effort,
Speaker 3: his will doesn't seem to be there as much to
Speaker 3: win those matchps. Those Yeah, So between him and Chris Jones,
Speaker 3: those are two guys that used to make their defense
Speaker 3: pretty dog undominant. And there's a reason why these guys
Speaker 3: don't have the record that they used to have because
Speaker 3: these guys aren't as impactful now at the second level.
Speaker 3: They got some guys at the second level, Okay, Drew Tranquill.
Speaker 2: I like him.
Speaker 3: I like him. I like the way he plays twenty three.
Speaker 3: He plays downhill. Whenever they want to get pressure on
Speaker 3: third down, you're gonna get pressure. Just lay that out
Speaker 3: there right now, Okay, third down, I don't care if
Speaker 3: they're bringing it. They're bringing it. It could be third and sixteen.
Speaker 3: This fact, you're getting pressure on third down. So all
Speaker 3: the fans out there, antenna is up. On third down,
Speaker 3: they're bringing somebody, okay, and usually it's five guys. They're
Speaker 3: gonna bring at least five okay, and it'll guys to
Speaker 3: be walked up, they'll drop out. You never know where
Speaker 3: it's coming from. They do a really good job of
Speaker 3: disguising where they're bringing pressure at their safeties. Don't move
Speaker 3: into the last second. They do inversion, they do match,
Speaker 3: They do a lot of cool stuff that you don't
Speaker 3: see from most teams because they don't have the discipline.
Speaker 3: These guys have the discipline. These guys have the understand
Speaker 3: and they play fast. So at the second level, Drew
Speaker 3: Tranquil somebody. I really like Nick Bolton. He's not what
Speaker 3: he used to be either. I think he's a good player,
Speaker 3: but he's not as dominant as he used to be.
Speaker 3: So those are two guys that Bolton I used to
Speaker 3: cheer for. He's not that man no more in the secondary. Okay,
Speaker 3: Trent McDuffie, I have no choice but the cheer for him.
Speaker 3: He's he's a really good player.
Speaker 2: He's a UB.
Speaker 3: He's a U Dub guy, but he's also a Dub
Speaker 3: guy who's damn good. He's damn good. He's the one
Speaker 3: cover guy. Then I'm like, okay, put some respect on it, man,
Speaker 3: put some respect on it. They're gonna they like to
Speaker 3: play two high safeties predominantly, but they really, like I said,
Speaker 3: they do a great job of disguising they I mean there,
Speaker 3: it is late. Sometimes it's after the snap that they're
Speaker 3: moving their safeties. But what they're playing isn't always that disguised,
Speaker 3: is not that tricky. If they're playing man the man,
Speaker 3: their corners are looking head up. If they're playing man
Speaker 3: to man and they're bringing cornerback blitz or Nicola back
Speaker 3: blitz with with Roland Wallace, then number thirty, I know
Speaker 3: right he'll be he'll be looking up, looking up, and
Speaker 3: right before the snap his eye you'll see his head
Speaker 3: turn right a lot of times you'll see DB's with
Speaker 3: their eyes and there's really quarterbacks are depending on the
Speaker 3: receivers to communicate that, hey, his eyes have now shifted
Speaker 3: to you instead of me. Right, So a lot of
Speaker 3: times you'll see receivers line up in the slot and
Speaker 3: if somebody's walked out over the top of them. One
Speaker 3: of the main indicators is a safety kind of being
Speaker 3: twelve yards off over the top of that guy so
Speaker 3: that he can roll down. They do a good job
Speaker 3: of sitting at safety inside so it's not as noticeable,
Speaker 3: but if that guy starts looking in, you need your
Speaker 3: receivers to communicate the deck hey, hey, hey, head up,
Speaker 3: head up, head up. You know you got we got
Speaker 3: have a nickelback blitz coming here. Clean that one up.
Speaker 3: Kind of kind of Jalen Watson Number thirty five. Tostitos
Speaker 3: Tostedo's Plaza Tostedo's plaza. If he walks upon you throw
Speaker 3: the ball up.
Speaker 2: For those that may not listen every single day, what
Speaker 2: is the Tostitos.
Speaker 3: Tostito's Championship Plaza is right out here, okay, at the
Speaker 3: star but we also yeah, but Tostito's is also a
Speaker 3: ebonics term for getting getting roasted getting toasted.
Speaker 6: But I will argue Isaiah standback. According to Pro Football Focus,
Speaker 6: he's ranked number six overall in quarterbacks.
Speaker 3: H oo wow, throw it up, he said, Throw it up, Dak.
Speaker 3: If you see thirty five walked up on any of
Speaker 3: your receivers, it up. Throw it up on ampt throw
Speaker 3: it up. Bro. I'm trying to tell you.
Speaker 5: So Like, he's not a very physical cornerback.
Speaker 3: No, and he's not the fastest dude in the world either, right,
Speaker 3: so he gets beat. So even if they're disguising their coverages,
Speaker 3: they like to play match. Okay, So I'm done talking
Speaker 3: about the individualsA. There's not much else.
Speaker 2: Can I Can I ask a balient individual?
Speaker 3: Yes at a moment, yes, yes, one.
Speaker 2: We're in for it.
Speaker 3: They're safety twenty seven Chamai Connor. I like him too.
Speaker 3: If they want to bring pressure, it's gonna be twenty
Speaker 3: three or twenty seven. Those are their blitz guys. So
Speaker 3: if you're at the line of scrimmage and you want
Speaker 3: and you're in a situation that they need to force
Speaker 3: you into a fourth down, or they need to force
Speaker 3: you into a long third down potentially on second, find
Speaker 3: twenty three or find twenty seven. If you find those
Speaker 3: guys most likely, that's probably where the coming. That's those
Speaker 3: are their hunters on their defense.
Speaker 6: I feel like you could argue the same for Dallas
Speaker 6: defense and number twenty seven Ready Stewart. I mean it's
Speaker 6: like this, as soon as he gets with the lines
Speaker 6: are like, oh this is good, it's gonna be.
Speaker 3: But Ready's been playing out the linebacker level. They've been
Speaker 3: playing Ready like a linebacker.
Speaker 5: I like Ready, I really do.
Speaker 3: I really liked what they're doing with that. They've been
Speaker 3: playing a five to one with Ready walk down as
Speaker 3: a linebacker.
Speaker 2: Two things here.
Speaker 1: First off, that's kind of been Spag's whole thing is
Speaker 1: that weird secondary blitz and where they're going to bring
Speaker 1: up from. And they always seem to have one or
Speaker 1: two guys that they can rely on do that. I mean,
Speaker 1: you think back just a couple of years back, whenever
Speaker 1: they've been winning the Super Bowls, it was different guys
Speaker 1: popping up, and then it was the honey Badger in
Speaker 1: the backfield that was doing a couple of different things
Speaker 1: like that when they but they kind of rotate through
Speaker 1: those guys. It's not just one guy or so the
Speaker 1: system where those guys are placed that allow them to
Speaker 1: be successful and make it harder to diagnose exactly, and
Speaker 1: so that's something that Dak's going to have to do.
Speaker 1: The second thing about it is I can't get past.
Speaker 1: Of course, these two teams don't play a lot. They
Speaker 1: play every four years, every year ears at home, and
Speaker 1: so when they play each other, the game stick out
Speaker 1: in my head, and so I can't get the way
Speaker 1: that Chris Jones dominated the game against Dak Prescott and
Speaker 1: company last time out of my head.
Speaker 2: That had three and a half sacks.
Speaker 1: Back in twenty twenty one, it was a nineteen to
Speaker 1: nine final score. Just this sloppy game at Arrowhead. If
Speaker 1: you think back to it, Dallas was seven and two
Speaker 1: going into that game. They had all sorts of Super
Speaker 1: Bowl talk and all the different championship caliber players, and
Speaker 1: they felt like they had what it took to take
Speaker 1: on a team that had just come off of.
Speaker 2: A Super Bowl instead or Super Bowl appearance.
Speaker 1: But instead they got beat pretty handily and kept in check,
Speaker 1: mostly because of Chris Jones. Remember he's got a personal
Speaker 1: connection with Dak Prescott. They were teammates at Mississippi State
Speaker 1: and we're in the same draft class together as well.
Speaker 1: So you talked about how they've taken a step back.
Speaker 1: Carl Loftus has never played the Cowboys, Chris Jones only
Speaker 1: his second chance as a starter to play at Cowboys.
Speaker 1: Are they two guys that even though they haven't played
Speaker 1: the best this season and that you still have to
Speaker 1: circle because they've got they've got a little bit of
Speaker 1: a vendetta there against Dubash, I mean the different reas.
Speaker 3: Yeah, guys could turn it up to turn it down, obviously.
Speaker 3: I'm not sure that George Carloff is in a position
Speaker 3: to turn it to turn it down.
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 3: I feel as if his overall well being physically isn't
Speaker 3: what it used to be. You know, I don't think
Speaker 3: he has the capability to play the way he used to.
Speaker 3: I don't think that's more. I don't think that's a
Speaker 3: decision on and off type of decision. He doesn't have
Speaker 3: that character. What I understand I think is physical limitation.
Speaker 3: In terms of Chris Jones, he is a lights on,
Speaker 3: lights off type of guy. Okay, so he can literally
Speaker 3: I mean, Cooper BB has to really sure himself. Okay,
Speaker 3: he got his butt kicked by Jayalen Carter this past week,
Speaker 3: Chris Jones was watching that film let's just call it
Speaker 3: what it is, and Chris Jones is he lines up
Speaker 3: as a one technique, But I'm talking about a one
Speaker 3: technique that's almost a zero like he's he's on. He
Speaker 3: is face mask to face mask with the center. So
Speaker 3: Cooper BB, you gotta buckle up, buddy, buckle up. One
Speaker 3: thing I wanted to say about their coverage real quick
Speaker 3: before we get up, before we pass off to next
Speaker 3: section here, this is a team that you have to
Speaker 3: be okay taking the five yard pass. You yes, Jake, Yeah, Jake,
Speaker 3: Jake from State Farm bro.
Speaker 5: You hate what they give you.
Speaker 3: You have to be able to get him a sponsor,
Speaker 3: not a sponsor. We don't have any insurance sponsors. You
Speaker 3: have to be able to we do.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I don't get that money. So we need
Speaker 3: to get up contract life. So get the ball underneath
Speaker 3: and be okay getting the ball underneath. This is a
Speaker 3: team that you can frustrate, Chris Jones. You can frustrate
Speaker 3: Bolton and all these other guys by just chipping your
Speaker 3: way down the field. What does that cause Spags to do?
Speaker 3: Spags does not like that. He wants to get pressure,
Speaker 3: he wants to blitz, he wants to hit you in
Speaker 3: the face. They get high off of that. They're going
Speaker 3: to give up some plays. Hey, you find thirty five.
Speaker 3: I'm not saying to not throw towards Trent McDuffie, but
Speaker 3: just understand that you're putting the ball at risk. He's
Speaker 3: he's that guy, right, So you take your shots when
Speaker 3: necessary against him. But you can win over the top
Speaker 3: on these guys, but it has to be in a
Speaker 3: play action game, and it has to be when they
Speaker 3: go single high. When they go single high, make them pay.
Speaker 3: They want to be too high, and even when their
Speaker 3: safety is down near the box, they'll roll out. They'll
Speaker 3: go to a cover two. A lot of times they're
Speaker 3: matching k which means that they're playing two man. The
Speaker 3: outside guys are gonna go sit on the inside shoulder
Speaker 3: of your outside receivers, and these guys are gonna kind
Speaker 3: of be in a trail technique, which means that they're
Speaker 3: kind of funneling your receivers towards the safeties. Right, they're
Speaker 3: kind of going high low on them, right, They're kind
Speaker 3: of trying to squeeze them in like ice cream sandwich.
Speaker 3: When they're playing single high safety. Even if they're playing
Speaker 3: cover three okay, which means your outside corners have the third,
Speaker 3: they're gonna match your inside receiver. That means that the
Speaker 3: inside receiver is gonna have somebody playing him man cover.
Speaker 3: So even their zone defenses are still have they still
Speaker 3: have guys playing man technique. So you have to be
Speaker 3: able to win a contested catches. And they're when they
Speaker 3: play single high, their linebackers get depth. I'm talking about
Speaker 3: ten yards twelve yards deep. Take the underneath. You go
Speaker 3: back and watch the Denver game. RJ. Harvey had a
Speaker 3: number of plays where it literally just came out of
Speaker 3: the backfield, just dumped it to them, caught it, get
Speaker 3: some yeat garbage, and like they just couldn't do anything
Speaker 3: about it. You can see them looking at each other
Speaker 3: like I'm doing my responsibility in this coverage. What the
Speaker 3: heck am I supposed to do? In Denver's like thank you,
Speaker 3: thank you. We'll take this. At this is what you're
Speaker 3: gonna give us, We'll take it. I'll throw three yards
Speaker 3: and let them run for eight. You have to be
Speaker 3: okay doing that, I'll tell you. I'll say it after
Speaker 3: the break. But I have a particular stat that's in
Speaker 3: my head. I feel like if the Cowboys achieved this
Speaker 3: particular stat, they win this game.
Speaker 1: No seas stat of the week when we come back

Speaker 2: To Talking Cowboys Back You're on Talking Cowboys.
Speaker 1: This segment is brought to you by invisil Line, the
Speaker 1: official Smile of the Dallas Cowboys, Patrick docy Walker, Josh Rodriguez, Hi,
Speaker 1: Isaiah stand Back, chrispiam in the back of Kyle Yeoman's time,
Speaker 1: Now quickly for Patrick's stat.
Speaker 2: Of the way.
Speaker 3: Yeah, to borrow from the greatness of the Kate washst
Speaker 3: out of the week, Just something popped in my head,
Speaker 3: not just in when I turned the page to the Chiefs,
Speaker 3: but in read the magnificence of QB Vision Air five
Speaker 3: for my absolutely killed QBS always does. This game is
Speaker 3: gonna come down to one simple thing for me, looking
Speaker 3: at the fact that the Chiefs escape that win against
Speaker 3: the Coats because they shut down Jonathan Taylor to the
Speaker 3: point of having nine run stuffs on sixteen of his
Speaker 3: rushing attempt. That's how they were able to keep the
Speaker 3: game mostly one dimensional. Spatanuolo was able to pin his
Speaker 3: ears back more often than not. If Javonte Williams plus
Speaker 3: sprinkling some Elie Davis, if the Cowboys can rush for
Speaker 3: at least eighty five meaningful yards, meaningful not garbage time
Speaker 3: yards when you're down fourteen points in the games I known.
Speaker 5: On, I'm saying early and often, early.
Speaker 3: And often, if the Cowboys can rush for a combined
Speaker 3: eighty five yards, maybe sprinkling a touchdown, that's cool, But
Speaker 3: eighty five yards wins you this game. On the ground, well,
Speaker 3: it allows you to Chris Jones for example, Chris Jones,
Speaker 3: he is dynamic. Yeah, when he wants to be dead
Speaker 3: when he starts getting frustrated. When he starts getting frustrated,
Speaker 3: he starts checking out, Yeah, exactly, So make him check
Speaker 3: out by being effective on the ground. Eighty five yards
Speaker 3: on the ground, and I think the Cowboys get away
Speaker 3: with a win.
Speaker 6: They're three and two, so at least for me, in
Speaker 6: terms of the run defense, they are ranked eighth overall
Speaker 6: in run defense. They are averaging about ninety seven points
Speaker 6: six yards per game. I think eighty five. I'm okay
Speaker 6: with that meaningful early in the game, that would be clutch.
Speaker 6: But one of the telltale signs for me. They're length
Speaker 6: ranked eleventh overall in pass defense, but over the last
Speaker 6: three weeks they've given up two hundred and forty plus yards.
Speaker 5: In each of those.
Speaker 6: But I'm saying, I'm saying that, like, if you're leaning on,
Speaker 6: like we're talking about, you want to get the run
Speaker 6: involved early, and often you have to.
Speaker 5: You have to set it up.
Speaker 6: And I think Dak Prescott going up against Steve Spagnola
Speaker 6: and Kyle has sat right now going up against the Spegnola.
Speaker 6: How has Dak Prescott favored in the past.
Speaker 2: He's three and two.
Speaker 1: He lost those two games when he was the defensive
Speaker 1: coordinator in New York with the Giants as a rookie.
Speaker 1: So the two games that he lost there were both
Speaker 1: as or no, he's two and three, excuse me, So
Speaker 1: he lost those two He won in twenty seventeen two
Speaker 1: games against the Giants, So twenty sixteen two losses, twenty
Speaker 1: seventeen two losses, and then the one in twenty one
Speaker 1: whereas is the only time that Spagnola has been on
Speaker 1: the Kansas City staff playing against Dak Prescott, so two
Speaker 1: and three against Spagnol.
Speaker 6: I think, with Dak on a heater here after throwing
Speaker 6: three hundred plus yards in this last game, I think,
Speaker 6: of course, you want to set up the run.
Speaker 5: But I expect Dak to have a big game.
Speaker 6: I really do, and I hope George Pickens is ready
Speaker 6: for it, and of course Cede Lamb as well.
Speaker 3: I'm really looking at it right here. First two, just
Speaker 3: going by the losses for the Kansas City Chiefs. First
Speaker 3: loss was against the Chargers, and the Chargers had a
Speaker 3: combined I want to say, eighty nine rushing yards. They
Speaker 3: lost to the Eagles in a close one. Eagles won
Speaker 3: by three, but say Kuan had eighty eight yards averaged
Speaker 3: four yards per carry. Let's see what's going back through.
Speaker 3: Their next loss was against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Was that
Speaker 3: ninety so they broke the one hundred yard mark the
Speaker 3: Jacksonville Jaguars did on the ground and Buffalo Bills. They
Speaker 3: lost to the Bills by a touchdown James Cook one fourteen. Again,
Speaker 3: so you're seeing a trend here. If you can get
Speaker 3: at least eighty five, preferably one hundred. You always want
Speaker 3: to get a hundred yard game in the ground, but
Speaker 3: if you can get I don't. I don't want to
Speaker 3: make the Bowl predictions, said Javonte Williams is going to
Speaker 3: go out there against this defense and run for one
Speaker 3: to twenty five. But if you get eighty five meaningful yards,
Speaker 3: you do it early, you do it often, You do
Speaker 3: it with a chunk play here there. Make them respect.
Speaker 3: Then then you can expose everyone in the secondary whose
Speaker 3: last name is not MCDUFFI I am okay with us
Speaker 3: not getting eighty five as long as we run at
Speaker 3: least eight screens. Okay, you know what I mean? Like,
Speaker 3: like you understand it's the count. Yeah, So like I
Speaker 3: treat screens and most teams do it right as run plays.
Speaker 3: So if I can get the ball out to a
Speaker 3: quick swing screen out to Javonte Williams right, or Malik
Speaker 3: Davis or whoever it is, right, it's not gonna be
Speaker 3: our receiver. Receivers, please, receivers be receivers. Don't not running
Speaker 3: not running backs, but not running back. Those are those
Speaker 3: are quick hitters that get us outside of the box
Speaker 3: where they're most dominant, and you get out on the
Speaker 3: edge and now you're just asking your receivers to block
Speaker 3: right and you can steal. You're stealing five yards. What
Speaker 3: is five yards to you? It's a run play, it's
Speaker 3: a it's a it's a it's a highly accurate run
Speaker 3: play that gets you out of their strongest point and
Speaker 3: gets you out to their weakest point, which is out
Speaker 3: on the edges. I truly think if you run eight
Speaker 3: to ten screenplays against this team and you have success
Speaker 3: with it, now, there's always gonna be one or two
Speaker 3: that might get stuffed, right, But I'm taking the over,
Speaker 3: especially with now Jonathan Mean go back right, his ability
Speaker 3: to be out there on the edge. I'm taking the
Speaker 3: over with our ability to be able to have a
Speaker 3: consistent screen game that acts as our run game. Now
Speaker 3: that I'm not saying that you can letely abandoned the run,
Speaker 3: but what I'm saying is, if there's a freaking brick wall,
Speaker 3: let's just understand that it's a brick wall. Do we
Speaker 3: try to find a weak spot in the brick wall,
Speaker 3: of course, but ultimately it's still a freaking brick wall, right,
Speaker 3: So you take what you can get. Right, there's a
Speaker 3: wall here, and it's soft over there. I'm going to
Speaker 3: the drywall. I'm not going I'm not gonna keep hitting
Speaker 3: the dog on brick wall. Let's go to the drywall. Right,
Speaker 3: That's exactly unless you're cool. Aid shouts out to the
Speaker 3: Cowboys social team. That was funny sensation.
Speaker 2: That was good.
Speaker 1: If you haven't checked it out yet, dak is aid
Speaker 1: Man running through a brick yeh of the Philadelphia Eagles.
Speaker 1: We've got to get some calls. It is a talking Tuesday.
Speaker 1: Eight eight eight eight five five two two ninety seven.
Speaker 1: Give us a call.
Speaker 2: Call me now, I say it, stand back, wake.
Speaker 3: Up a short. I'm trying. I'm trying to cram on
Speaker 3: this information. Believable. You fumbling.
Speaker 1: Give us a call eight eight eight eight five five
Speaker 1: got me.
Speaker 2: Now, let's go to Dano in Florida, our first caller.
Speaker 2: I'm not talking Tuesday. Hey, Dano, you got us?
Speaker 7: Hey, guys, how are you anytime you beat the pigeons.
Speaker 7: It's a great week.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 7: I got a couple observations more than anything else. First
Speaker 7: of all, you know, at the draft last year when
Speaker 7: they drafted uh Tyler Booker number one, I was like, okay,
Speaker 7: that's the take on you know, those the beasts in
Speaker 7: the east of Steve tackles with the Giants and the Eagles,
Speaker 7: and I'm going to tell you something I watched. I've
Speaker 7: watched the game twice already, and he totally destroyed Jalen Carter.
Speaker 7: He did he took him to the woodshed. He really
Speaker 7: was something. It was impressive to see what he did.
Speaker 9: I thought.
Speaker 7: The other thing is Ferguson. I know early in the
Speaker 7: year everybody was talking about, you know, he caught thirteen
Speaker 7: balls in a game or whatever the case was. But
Speaker 7: you know, he catches three yard out and he you know,
Speaker 7: we gained four yards on it. This is the first
Speaker 7: first game I thought where he uh, he played with violence,
Speaker 7: a real level of violence, and it was fun to watch.
Speaker 7: I just thought it was great. The other thing, in
Speaker 7: terms of the defense, boy Williams, what a what a
Speaker 7: difference up front he's making. I mean, the linebackers are
Speaker 7: playing better. Uh. Obershawn Is He's just a beast. I
Speaker 7: like uh. I like Lloyd's edition. And I'm a big
Speaker 7: believer that Murray should not really be on the field
Speaker 7: that much. That uh, the person that should be on
Speaker 7: the field is the kid from Florida. I just think
Speaker 7: he's he brings more to the table, and and you know,
Speaker 7: I just want to go back to the tragedy of
Speaker 7: a few weeks ago. I went through a very similar
Speaker 7: situation in college. We were playing in the semi finals
Speaker 7: of the national championship game the week after Thanksgiving. We
Speaker 7: had to be back the Friday after Thanksgiving and you
Speaker 7: walk into the quad at two o'clock and there's a
Speaker 7: bunch of people sitting around crying and crying and you know,
Speaker 7: wailing like there was no tomorrow. And you find out
Speaker 7: that the captain of the basketball team had been killed
Speaker 7: in a car accident down in Monticello. And you know,
Speaker 7: we were kids, you know, seventeen eighteen, nineteen, twenty twenty
Speaker 7: one year old kids, and we just didn't handle that well.
Speaker 7: It was really hard. They didn't bring in therapists or anything.
Speaker 7: That wasn't the thing back then. But I just wanted
Speaker 7: to throw that out here because they thought the Cowboys
Speaker 7: had handled it just so so well. I mean, you know,
Speaker 7: they deserve all the credit in the world for the
Speaker 7: way they handled it, the way that the team came around,
Speaker 7: the way the front office handled it. So I just
Speaker 7: want to throw that out to you folks. Hey, you guys,
Speaker 7: have a happy thing. Talk soon.
Speaker 1: Same Thanks, Dane. Appreciate the call, especially that final plat. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was good, and I completely agree. I think you
Speaker 1: got to give a lot of credit to the resources
Speaker 1: that this staff and that this front office have given
Speaker 1: the players over the last three weeks now since it
Speaker 1: certainly happened with Marshawn neland and it's never going to
Speaker 1: go away. And I think we've seen that over the
Speaker 1: last two weeks. It's still very much so a topic
Speaker 1: of conversation and a point of motivation and a point
Speaker 1: of sadness for a lot of these guys. I mean,
Speaker 1: they're missing their brother during the last two games when
Speaker 1: they're winning, they should have him right there with him,
Speaker 1: and to a certain extent.
Speaker 2: He is right there with him, but just not physically.
Speaker 3: And that's that's what to play relentless football Ford, to
Speaker 3: honor him. And here we aren't two games in and
Speaker 3: done that. We're seeing it. They had a stumble obviously
Speaker 3: several to start against the Eagles, but boy, they looked
Speaker 3: over at that jersey, They looked over that flag that
Speaker 3: Osa brought them to the field of at ninety four,
Speaker 3: and they're doing for ninety four, so Hurst will brother,
Speaker 3: they are they're playing their So.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the other points that that dan O may there's
Speaker 1: a lot of them there. Anyone that's stuck out to
Speaker 1: you specifically that you want to keep on talking about here.
Speaker 6: No, I thought he had great points. I mean, I
Speaker 6: love what he said about Quinn Williams. Of course he's
Speaker 6: a difference maker a game. But the Jamar James over
Speaker 6: that is a little too early for me because I
Speaker 6: like what Kenneth Murray's doing now that he has a
Speaker 6: little more help in the front around him. I mean,
Speaker 6: he recovered a fumble for you. He's a good heads
Speaker 6: up player past break up the week earlier. I think
Speaker 6: he's a solid veteran to have in the lineup currently.
Speaker 6: And I think he's only helping your other guys. He's
Speaker 6: helping Demo. He's helping basically clean up a lot of
Speaker 6: things for you that it might not be bouncing off
Speaker 6: of the tape or not be spotlighting off the tape.
Speaker 6: But to me, I think it's good to have the
Speaker 6: veteran prisons out there, and I think Shamar James is
Speaker 6: learning from a guy like that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, do we have time for a quick call.
Speaker 2: We have one more Mike in New York. You're on
Speaker 2: the line.
Speaker 9: What up, Mike, what's going on? Guys to give a
Speaker 9: first set. Obviously Cowboys on Sunday that was fight that
Speaker 9: was that was Regillians and fight like down twenty one points.
Speaker 9: That's just like everybody's like, oh, they're not gonna come back.
Speaker 9: I'm like, the Cowboys are gonna make adjustments at halftime.
Speaker 9: And I give it to our defense because they really
Speaker 9: shut out a team like that in the second half
Speaker 9: and then you know, offense picked it up and stuff
Speaker 9: and Pickens was from phenomenal CD. I think you off
Speaker 9: a bounce that game. You just had one of them games.
Speaker 9: He had an off days. It happens, you know, unfortunately,
Speaker 9: you know it's like, you know, we pick on eighty eight.
Speaker 9: I'm like, well, you know it's gonna happen. It's gonna
Speaker 9: just gonna happen. You're gonna have an off day. It happens.
Speaker 9: You know, it's gonna you know, one player plays good
Speaker 9: and the other dozen. So it's just one of those
Speaker 9: things that's gonna happen. Which you guys have happy holidays
Speaker 9: as well, So how going.
Speaker 5: Yeah, thank you, biddy.
Speaker 2: I think one of the things he said there is
Speaker 2: they made adjustments at halftime. But Isaiah, I give you credit.
Speaker 1: On the post game show, you were saying they made
Speaker 1: adjustments before halftime. Getting the score to Pickings right before
Speaker 1: the break was big. But also the defense, the way
Speaker 1: that they were playing at the end of the second
Speaker 1: quarter was kind of indicative of what we would see
Speaker 1: as time went on.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they made their adjustments, and that's why it's scoring
Speaker 3: before the half was so important, because it wasn't It
Speaker 3: wasn't much that they were doing necessarily incorrectly, at least offensively.
Speaker 3: It was just that they were just making too many
Speaker 3: dog on mistakes, right, So they weren't being stopped, they
Speaker 3: were being self inflicted wounds. I know that's always a
Speaker 3: very argumentative point there when you're facing an appontent that's
Speaker 3: kicking your butt. But they they figured it out. They
Speaker 3: stopped the bleeding, and they progressed for it. Defensively, they
Speaker 3: started making adjustments in terms of stopped playing offso dog
Speaker 3: on much that that was the thing that was killing them.
Speaker 3: They were playing off coverage just kill them all year long.
Speaker 3: I'm hoping that that changes. Hoping I know that eber
Speaker 3: flu sees it. I just think that he's more so
Speaker 3: in the mindset of being but don't break type of
Speaker 3: defense at this point in time, and I think you've
Speaker 3: seen a minimum if you've seen that minimized. But when
Speaker 3: teams are getting the big plays now, it's because it's
Speaker 3: just an amazing play. It's not so because it was
Speaker 3: busted coverage. So I think he's okay with that. I'm
Speaker 3: not okay with teams being able to go throw the
Speaker 3: ball and get seven yards of pop. That's what I'm
Speaker 3: not okay with. I think it was fantastic points that
Speaker 3: he made. First and foremost. I can't stress enough exactly
Speaker 3: how freaking fun that was to witness, and I will
Speaker 3: point it out until the end of time because that
Speaker 3: just doesn't expire. You got took twenty one zero, you
Speaker 3: still got took. But that being said, I love what
Speaker 3: you guys are saying, and I love what he said.
Speaker 3: In fact of the matter is the Cowboys did have
Speaker 3: halftime adjustments that went out and clamped him on defense
Speaker 3: and still took a little bit for the offense to
Speaker 3: get going. They did get the George Pickens touchdown right
Speaker 3: before halftime. But I will say going against the Chiefs.
Speaker 3: When your defense is playing as well as this defense
Speaker 3: started playing in the second half against the Eagles, and
Speaker 3: you see punt punt punt and your offense goes out
Speaker 3: and you know, punt punt turnover like that can't happen.
Speaker 3: So finally they were able to get things going. But
Speaker 3: I like that this defense is showing me it can
Speaker 3: give you chances and get the ball back into the
Speaker 3: hands of that Rescott in the offense now going against
Speaker 3: the Kansas City Chiefs, when your defense does that, you
Speaker 3: better score the damn football. And you cannot and I repeat,
Speaker 3: I know, we'll talk about it tomorrow. You can't play
Speaker 3: offer versus the guys like this is not the offense.
Speaker 3: We playing eight yards off like you get up there,
Speaker 3: they will, Isaiah, they will run a twenty play drive
Speaker 3: and be okay with like and there's any readers, like
Speaker 3: that's what you want to give us, Fine, we'll take it.
Speaker 3: There's a standing lab coat tomorrow about the offense in
Speaker 3: that passing attack that goes to Isaiah's point.
Speaker 1: But you got to we've got lab coat, We've got
Speaker 1: get your popcorn ready, We've got pick'em's tomorrow. There's a
Speaker 1: lot going on in tomorrow's show. Isaiah is gonna wake
Speaker 1: up a little bit better tomorrow.
Speaker 3: It's gonna be okay.
Speaker 2: Is gonna be okay.
Speaker 3: Three wills strike, three years, take a swing.
Speaker 1: For Patrick Walker, Josh Rodriguez, Isaiah stand back who did
Speaker 1: a great job on QB Vision today that.
Speaker 3: I will say he's oh that.
Speaker 2: He almost whipped out there. We'll see you tomorrow with
Speaker 2: more Talking Cowboys. Thanks for watching.
