Speaker 1: a chance to get your testers out and then we
Speaker 1: see what happened Fallow. Whatever you want, just don't call
Speaker 1: a blue match. Well, welcome to the show. We got
Speaker 1: a lot of talk about what I'm gonna do over
Speaker 1: the next two days is we're gonna really go big picture.
Speaker 1: We got a lot of questions I'm gonna throw at
Speaker 1: you guys, just big picture. Give you guys an opportunity
Speaker 1: to talk about what you think of this team through
Speaker 1: six games. Obviously, it's been very exciting here. It's probably
Speaker 1: more exciting than anything we've seen in quite a while
Speaker 1: around here. So I'm gonna start first, I want to
Speaker 1: go back a little bit to the New England game.
Speaker 1: There were a few questions I had from that game,
Speaker 1: and I wanted to start talking to you guys about
Speaker 1: Let's start first, what things do you think Belichick exposed
Speaker 1: that Dallas will have to see over the next few weeks, because,
Speaker 1: as we know, in the NFL, it is a copycat league.
Speaker 1: You show teams what can possibly be a Kryptonite four team,
Speaker 1: they're gonna try to do the same thing. So what
Speaker 1: are you thinks that? What are some of the things
Speaker 1: you think Belichick may have shown this last week? Big
Speaker 1: boy ball, the ability that is simply just I'm bigger
Speaker 1: and I'm stronger than you, and I'm coming at you
Speaker 1: downhill every single play. You saw that with New England's
Speaker 1: first drive. I mentioned it yesterday on yesterday show. They
Speaker 1: with thirteen personnel for the entire first drive. They went
Speaker 1: thirteen personnel for our whole first drive, three tight ends.
Speaker 1: I don't care if we're using all five line in
Speaker 1: all three tight ends and we're coming downhill, good luck
Speaker 1: trying to stop us. And we struggle with that now.
Speaker 1: Obviously we have some of our our key pieces that
Speaker 1: are missing. In turn, the former Gallamore and d Law.
Speaker 1: We'll get Tristan Hill back, you know, some of those guys.
Speaker 1: But that's a problem if we face an opponent that
Speaker 1: has the personnel to you know, and that's something that
Speaker 1: we give up by having a fast defense. When you
Speaker 1: have a fast defense, just like when we played against Carolina,
Speaker 1: they had a fast defense, like a running hit you.
Speaker 1: But what do we do. We just said, Okay, we're
Speaker 1: bigger and fasig. We're bigger and stronger than You're gonna
Speaker 1: run the ball down your throat. So when you choose
Speaker 1: to have a defense like we have now that's so versatility,
Speaker 1: that's so fast, that has those various various personnels, we're
Speaker 1: going to give up something. And I think we were
Speaker 1: giving up size and strength in that regard. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think you hit it right on the head. Is for
Speaker 1: a long time, the Cowboys have been weak in the
Speaker 1: middle of their defense up front. And I said in
Speaker 1: earlier last week coming into that show that this game
Speaker 1: will be won or loss at the line of scrimmage,
Speaker 1: that Bill Belichick and company wanted to control that line
Speaker 1: of scrimmage, being that they will be physical on their
Speaker 1: side offensively, and then defensively being able to create some
Speaker 1: uh some some some confusion, some pressure, really attack the
Speaker 1: middle of our offensive line. And for the Cowboys, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, they really have to kind of if they
Speaker 1: want something to work on to kind of be the
Speaker 1: quote unquote complete team. It's trying to find ways. Okay,
Speaker 1: we know that we're fast, we know that we're physical,
Speaker 1: we know that we have dynamic playmakers on our our defense,
Speaker 1: but how can we shore up that middle um. Now,
Speaker 1: when you talk about the team that we have coming
Speaker 1: down the stretch next up being Minnesota, we knew what
Speaker 1: we know what Minnesota will try to do to us.
Speaker 1: They will try to do what doing a Patriots did
Speaker 1: to us. And Dalvin Cook has been a thorn on
Speaker 1: our side both running the football and catching the football.
Speaker 1: But a lot of teams don't have the ability to
Speaker 1: do what do what the Patriots do. A lot of
Speaker 1: teams don't have the ability to do what Minnesota will
Speaker 1: try to do with Dalvin Cook. So in contrast to
Speaker 1: that is we teams will either have to continue to
Speaker 1: play their style of football and hope that it works
Speaker 1: or try to go another way because most teams don't
Speaker 1: can't do what the Patriots do. You don't have the
Speaker 1: personnel and you don't have the brain power, and that's
Speaker 1: that's that is key. So it's easy to say it's
Speaker 1: a copycat league, but it's hard to copycat when you
Speaker 1: know one got the Cats to copy it. But let
Speaker 1: me ask you this, what did you think that this
Speaker 1: last game was an aberration when it comes to um
Speaker 1: the running game and not being able to stop the
Speaker 1: running game? Or had you seen shades of this and
Speaker 1: other games? Maybe other teams didn't do it to the
Speaker 1: level that the Patriots did, But did you see moments
Speaker 1: where you were like, this could be a problem going
Speaker 1: down to stretch. I mean, I think there's pieces that
Speaker 1: we obviously need to shore up on the defensive front,
Speaker 1: but overall we've had some really good play out of
Speaker 1: our defensive front. You got some guys like Osa Basham,
Speaker 1: some guys that are really starting to show up and
Speaker 1: play um. At the end of the day, it comes
Speaker 1: in personnel matchups. And you know, asked why I hate
Speaker 1: when something when people say, oh, well this team, you
Speaker 1: beat this team, but you couldn't beat this team. It's
Speaker 1: all about matchups. It's all about matchups. Just you know,
Speaker 1: there might be some some big boys across that across
Speaker 1: the way that you just can't handle. There's these are
Speaker 1: grown man. They get paid. I'm sorry, Cowboys Nation. These
Speaker 1: boys get paid too, right and um. And that's one
Speaker 1: thing that they invest in. They invest in big guys
Speaker 1: up front and dominant downhill because at the end of
Speaker 1: the game, at the end of the day, Coach Belichick
Speaker 1: wants you to have a tight game where he can
Speaker 1: just just smash mouth football. That's it. If he could
Speaker 1: run the ball eighty times a game, he would do it.
Speaker 1: And the thing that we have going to our advantage
Speaker 1: to help our defense. And this is why I was
Speaker 1: so I was all for Mike McCarthy going forward earlier
Speaker 1: in the football game because yeah, I was too. Actually
Speaker 1: I was so forward. I was so. I was so
Speaker 1: forth one because I want to set a tone. And two,
Speaker 1: the thing that the Cowboys can do well that other
Speaker 1: teams can't do is that we can score at track fast. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And when you score early and often, team now have
Speaker 1: to play outside of their realm. And if now we
Speaker 1: gifted them fourteen points, which made us have to kind
Speaker 1: of play a little bit differently, and they were able
Speaker 1: to kind of stick to the script, but what they
Speaker 1: wanted to do. But when you come out early and
Speaker 1: teams already know, they already know. They they cut the
Speaker 1: film one and they like, you got Zeke, you got Tony,
Speaker 1: you got shots, you got Jarwin, you got CDM. Mark.
Speaker 1: You can't stop all these dudes. So once you go
Speaker 1: up fourteen, all running up, running the football and trying
Speaker 1: to eat up possessions and eat up clock, that goes
Speaker 1: out the door. And now you have to play a
Speaker 1: game that we want you to play. And it is
Speaker 1: kind of worked in our favorite because Trayvon Diggs is
Speaker 1: just sitting back there saying, all right, you guys may
Speaker 1: get me for one or two of quarters, and I
Speaker 1: may give up a couple of players here and there,
Speaker 1: but just throw another one. I'm gonna get it. And
Speaker 1: so that's the Cowboys have had that advantage all year long,
Speaker 1: is what those weapons offensively, teams haven't been able to
Speaker 1: do what they want to do in the running game,
Speaker 1: you know, to our defense, because you just gotta score
Speaker 1: with us. And the Bill Belichick and Josh McDaniels, they
Speaker 1: came out with a great plan that said, you know what,
Speaker 1: today you will play our game and the Cowboys did
Speaker 1: for most of the game have to play that game,
Speaker 1: and then it just came down to we got one
Speaker 1: too many horses. And then so to Dario's point, do
Speaker 1: you think that that these guys just opened up a
Speaker 1: wound that was already there or do you think that
Speaker 1: because of the game plans or because of how we've
Speaker 1: been ahead again most games, we haven't necessarily had had
Speaker 1: to encounter the running so much. Yeah, a lot of
Speaker 1: people you can try. Yeah, you know, people always say
Speaker 1: what Mike Tyson always says, everybody got a game plan
Speaker 1: until you get pushed in the face. Yeah, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. So you can come out and try
Speaker 1: it if you want to. But when you die fourteen
Speaker 1: points and and and number four and company walking back
Speaker 1: out on the field again, you start saying, all right,
Speaker 1: now we got to match the point of the game. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And the way I see it is like, yeah, there
Speaker 1: are a lot of things that need to be cleaned
Speaker 1: up in the Cowboys played on defense and also on offense.
Speaker 1: You know, all the penalties we talked about yesterday. But
Speaker 1: I think that this game and the way that he
Speaker 1: played out it actually showed case something very positive that
Speaker 1: the Cowboys have in our building, and it's to show
Speaker 1: opponents that this is not the same team that was
Speaker 1: years ago and even last year that you know, when
Speaker 1: mistakes happen, it just goes down the hill and they
Speaker 1: can't really catch up. No, this is a team that's
Speaker 1: actually fighting and going out there and building this chemistry
Speaker 1: of you know, there's no laziness. Even on the defensive
Speaker 1: side of the ball. You can see little things that
Speaker 1: happen that are not good and need improvement, but at
Speaker 1: the same time, you're seeing a defense that is energized
Speaker 1: and go out there with fire and it's fighting back.
Speaker 1: So I think that's something that the fact that they
Speaker 1: won that game the way that they did in overtime
Speaker 1: against Bill Belichick is actually going to show other teams
Speaker 1: down the road that this is not a Cowboys team
Speaker 1: to really mess around or sleep on. You know, this
Speaker 1: is someone that whatever you do, they're gonna come back
Speaker 1: and keep fighting for it. Yeah. That's a good point
Speaker 1: because I think, and I would say this, when you
Speaker 1: get to a point like that where you have a
Speaker 1: team that handles it city, well, I put that on
Speaker 1: coaching and I put that on confidence, and I think
Speaker 1: this team has a lot of both. Now you can
Speaker 1: say what you want to say about Mike McCarthy, but
Speaker 1: whether it's Mike McCarthy or whether it's the offensive or
Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator, they're figuring out ways, even when they
Speaker 1: get in a game like that where things aren't going
Speaker 1: their way, to figure out how they can make the
Speaker 1: adjustments they need to make in order to get themselves
Speaker 1: back into the game and ultimately win it. And that's
Speaker 1: the sign of a really good team. Let's talk about
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott for a second. We know that he got
Speaker 1: hurt there on that last player of the game. Really
Speaker 1: great play obviously to win the game. I was happy
Speaker 1: with the fact that they were just being aggressive and
Speaker 1: didn't just think, hey, we're in our kicker's range, which
Speaker 1: we heard so much this year. Don't do that. If
Speaker 1: you got a chance, your best shot is to left
Speaker 1: forward do his thing, and that's what they did. He
Speaker 1: got the touchdown, but he gets to the calf injury.
Speaker 1: How concerned are you guys about this calf injury injury?
Speaker 1: I know they have the bye week, but that's two weeks.
Speaker 1: Is still not a long time to recover from an injury.
Speaker 1: How concerned are you I'm very concerned, like and I
Speaker 1: get it. You know, there's talked throughout the building about
Speaker 1: it's not that bad. You know, initially everybody said, it's
Speaker 1: not Michael Gallop. Right, everyone, it's not Michael Gallop. Right.
Speaker 1: Everybody wants to say that it's not Michael Gallop. I'm
Speaker 1: glad they said that too, because my thing is, it's
Speaker 1: the right calf, the same calf, same leg of the
Speaker 1: ankle surgery. Now, I'm no doctor, no trainer. I don't
Speaker 1: have a PhD. I went to a public university, barely
Speaker 1: got out of there. But when you talk about that
Speaker 1: particular play, right, Dak Prescott rolling out to his right,
Speaker 1: delivering the ball down the field, what happens when we
Speaker 1: got to do that against Minnesota? What happens when you
Speaker 1: have to do that against Atlanta? Does that now hinder
Speaker 1: his ability to do those things, his ability to be
Speaker 1: mobile in the pocket, his ability to take off a
Speaker 1: rowan it's time to take off and run. It may
Speaker 1: not be an issue now, Maybe it's an issue two
Speaker 1: weeks from now. Maybe it's an issue three weeks from now.
Speaker 1: Pushing off that leg and a zaid I let you
Speaker 1: speak more into this, because you have more of history
Speaker 1: playing at that position. But everything is so critical from
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks position, about balance, about having the right base
Speaker 1: to deliver the fault, to deliver the ball accurately down
Speaker 1: the football field. So if your base is off, and
Speaker 1: everything that we want to do in this offense, we
Speaker 1: can't do it now to me, that that worries me something,
Speaker 1: and I think we don't. You can say that, you know,
Speaker 1: we have nothing to worry about because this week we
Speaker 1: act nothing to worry about. We had no game. But
Speaker 1: I just think it's a little bit deeper than just
Speaker 1: we don't have anything to worry about. Well, I say
Speaker 1: this first, we don't know how how bad it is.
Speaker 1: Well I don't think we'll ever find out really how
Speaker 1: bad it is. Um, they'll get an MRI. They have
Speaker 1: likely he has the best training staff in the league.
Speaker 1: Trust me, I've tested most of them out. He has
Speaker 1: an amazing staff and he has a lot of all
Speaker 1: the resources he needs. With that said, Backdorn, what what
Speaker 1: Jesse said. We've had two guys out with calf strains.
Speaker 1: Gallop this year. We haven't seen him since week one.
Speaker 1: We're going to week six to six weeks by week Okay,
Speaker 1: So we haven't seen gallup since he had his calf
Speaker 1: strain Zach Martin last year. Calf strain. Okay, he was
Speaker 1: out obviously for a minute at the quarterback position. Yes
Speaker 1: it was his his injured ankle, but just taking the
Speaker 1: ankle out of it. As a quarterback, you're dropping back,
Speaker 1: you're pushing off your left leg. As a right handed quarterback,
Speaker 1: you're pushing off your left leg, and you're setting setting
Speaker 1: your base with your right leg. Right, So that's the
Speaker 1: leg that he has to set Now. Obviously, the ankle's fine,
Speaker 1: we can set on an ankle, but now with the calf,
Speaker 1: think about that right that is literally absorbing all your
Speaker 1: energy from dropping back. Now that you've absorbed the energy,
Speaker 1: if you set on that back leg, now you're asking
Speaker 1: him to drive off of that back leg and push
Speaker 1: and throw the ball. Okay, Now people can say, oh,
Speaker 1: he doesn't have to push, he's strung enough arm, all right,
Speaker 1: But now that comes to then to matter what did
Speaker 1: he doing camp shoulder and shoulder and the shoulder pick
Speaker 1: whatever you called it. Right, So if he's not pushing
Speaker 1: off his leg and he's using his upper body more
Speaker 1: to create the velocity, now he's putting that at risk.
Speaker 1: So it's not even just one thing here. It's not
Speaker 1: just the cat on a calf. He'll be okay, we
Speaker 1: don't know how bad it is. It might be something
Speaker 1: he needs a week off of, a week off of,
Speaker 1: or he might need it multiple weeks. But even if
Speaker 1: he is allowed to play, it plays a role because
Speaker 1: now it puts his shoulder at a risk for potentially
Speaker 1: injuring that simply because he's going to be trying to
Speaker 1: create velocity off of that versus just sitting back and
Speaker 1: throwing off his regular leg. Yeah, it's a really great
Speaker 1: point because I think both of you guys make because
Speaker 1: one thing begets another right when you start talking about injuries.
Speaker 1: The body is all connected. So if you're favoring something,
Speaker 1: then it puts extra pressure on something else. And how
Speaker 1: long can that handle the extra pressure That can create
Speaker 1: a lot of issues for him. And you can putting
Speaker 1: the physical part aside, and I and Doc is one
Speaker 1: of the most confident guys I have ever met. But
Speaker 1: you have to take into an account the mental aspect
Speaker 1: of it, and you can't help it sometimes, you know,
Speaker 1: hesitation him being mindful of that and then creating that
Speaker 1: extra step his mind and then throwing to the mix
Speaker 1: what Tyler Beat is just dealing with. You know, that's
Speaker 1: something else in the formula there that Dad has to
Speaker 1: kind of keep in mind, the little struggles that he
Speaker 1: has had the center position. Then it just takes away
Speaker 1: maybe from his full focus of this thing of the football,
Speaker 1: that it's actually now becoming something so natural to him.
Speaker 1: You know he hasn't. You don't see him just standing
Speaker 1: there in the pocket really thinking things through. So I
Speaker 1: just it makes me wonder, although he's super confident, makes
Speaker 1: me wonder, Okay, is this gonna really kind of slow
Speaker 1: him down mentally and what he's doing in the field
Speaker 1: before making a play aside from obviously what these guys
Speaker 1: mentioned as far as the physical aspect, and I think
Speaker 1: it changes. It's the game planned as well, because when
Speaker 1: he's healthy, right, Kellen can call anything he wants to call.
Speaker 1: But when he's not healthy, you you have to now
Speaker 1: condense what you can call. Right, maybe we're not calling
Speaker 1: as many rollouts. The great thing is you get Lyle
Speaker 1: Collins back. I don't know how rusty he'll be, but
Speaker 1: now you maybe have a little bit more security and
Speaker 1: he doesn't have to kind of scramble that much in
Speaker 1: the pocket. But one of his biggest throws if you
Speaker 1: watch in the last game, right, you got the d
Speaker 1: D in coming up. What does he do? He pulls
Speaker 1: through and now he has to break out to the right.
Speaker 1: Does he have that mobility to do that again? Because
Speaker 1: we're at a point in time of the season where
Speaker 1: there's so much film out there and now teams can say, Okay,
Speaker 1: here's what we want to do, here's what we can do.
Speaker 1: And you know you're talking about how to stop this
Speaker 1: Cowboys offense. It's not really no way to really stop
Speaker 1: the Cowboys offense unless you can get to four. And
Speaker 1: if I know four is hampered, then you've been around
Speaker 1: long enough. You've been around long enough, you've been around.
Speaker 1: Zimmer's coming. Like he's not gonna sit back and just
Speaker 1: say we'll just wait. That's not who he is. Like,
Speaker 1: Zimm's gonna come and he's gonna bring blitches from every
Speaker 1: single weear and he's gonna test Tyler beyandest he gonna
Speaker 1: test you've been out for five weeks. I'm gonna test
Speaker 1: to see if you're ready to go. And by the way,
Speaker 1: I know what y'all said. He was Okay. I know
Speaker 1: y'all said he was all right. We're gonna find out.
Speaker 1: We're gonna find out just how okay he really is,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna touch him up a little bit. I
Speaker 1: wouldn't even And this is not I want to say
Speaker 1: it's dirty, but it's it is said amongst teams. Hey
Speaker 1: make him feel you. I ain't saying hit him late.
Speaker 1: I ain't saying be dirty. But every time you get
Speaker 1: close enough, pull a pad on him, pull a little
Speaker 1: shot on him. Let this let him know I'm near,
Speaker 1: I'm coming, I'm touching you. You're gonna feel my presence
Speaker 1: all day long. So it's it's it's one of those
Speaker 1: deals where it's it's who Yeah, all right, we're gonna
Speaker 1: take our first break. When we come back, we're gonna
Speaker 1: talk a little bit more about this offense. I actually
Speaker 1: want to talk about Dak and I want to see
Speaker 1: where you guys place him among the other quarterbacks in
Speaker 1: the NFL this year. Because there's a lot of good
Speaker 1: quarter play quarterback play happening, he's obviously among them. I
Speaker 1: want to see where you guys rank him in that
Speaker 1: top five, maybe you push him into that top ten. Well,
Speaker 1: when we come right back. This is Dallas Cowboys dot

Speaker 1: the Star. I got Isaiah Jesse Amber all with me.
Speaker 1: We're talking some Cowboys football. Let's talk about the quarterback position.
Speaker 1: And there's always this this debate that happens around the
Speaker 1: NFL throughout every season of how do you rank quarterbacks
Speaker 1: around the league. There have been some really good quarterback
Speaker 1: play and Dak has been right there among them. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna throw out some names for you guys. These don't
Speaker 1: have to be yours, but I want you guys to
Speaker 1: kind of rank your top five for me. You got
Speaker 1: guys like Lamar Jackson, call Murder who, Kyler Murray whose
Speaker 1: team is undefeated and he's playing really good football, Josh Allen,
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, lots of good quarterbacks. How would
Speaker 1: you rank your top five? And where would you put Dak?
Speaker 1: Start with you, Jesse, everybody don't go in for me.
Speaker 1: I'll say this. I got Dak at three, okay, So
Speaker 1: who's one and two? So Dak is three for me.
Speaker 1: I got Kyler playing at two until he's dethroned. Until
Speaker 1: he's dethroned. I'm putting time at one, okay, Tim's that
Speaker 1: one to me? And maybe I'm just I don't know.
Speaker 1: He's one of my NFL man crushes, but I got time.
Speaker 1: Uh Aaron Rodgers at four and Lamar Jackson at five,
Speaker 1: that's my that's my five. Right, Yeah, I might have
Speaker 1: to say deado man. As I'm going through, y'allouldn't get
Speaker 1: because I actually was. I was thinking you guys might
Speaker 1: give Lamar Jackson a little more love. No, No, I
Speaker 1: think his ability. He makes plays, but I don't in
Speaker 1: terms of everything that a quarterback is in my head,
Speaker 1: I don't think he's consistent enough in that regard, and
Speaker 1: he'd be acting childish. I don't like that. Sorry, But yeah,
Speaker 1: TV twelve is all right, be real with you. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna switch it up a little bit. TV talks my dog.
Speaker 1: You know that we both played with. Right now, Kyler
Speaker 1: Murray's number one. Yeah, Kyler Murray's the most the most
Speaker 1: dominant quarterback in this league right now, simply not only
Speaker 1: just with his arm, and it's about to get better
Speaker 1: because he has a tight end coming in right Zach Hurts,
Speaker 1: but his throwing ability and he'll destroy you with his
Speaker 1: legs if you even try him, if you even try him.
Speaker 1: I don't think that Dak presents that problem or that
Speaker 1: threat right now. Now, he'll he'll torch you through the
Speaker 1: air right now, and he'll run when he has to.
Speaker 1: But Kyler can create with his legs. So for that reason,
Speaker 1: I gave him number one. Then I go TV twelve,
Speaker 1: and then I throw, I throw, I throw Dak in
Speaker 1: there probably three, and then you got obviously got Pat
Speaker 1: Mahomes and there number four. So yeah, it's interesting because
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, like if and I assume you guys have
Speaker 1: watched him back when he was in high school and
Speaker 1: how Dominie was in high school obviously wan a Heisman
Speaker 1: Trophy in college, Like this is who this dude is.
Speaker 1: And it seems like now he's starting to figure out
Speaker 1: the NFL game. And so it should be very concerning
Speaker 1: to everybody in the NFL that's not an Arizona Cardinals
Speaker 1: fan that this dude is starting to figure it out.
Speaker 1: He's downloaded the Yeah, he knows how to win, and
Speaker 1: like you said, he presents, uh, that unique balance that
Speaker 1: I don't know that there's another quarterback in the league
Speaker 1: right now that that is equally good in both those
Speaker 1: different areas passing and running as he is, and and
Speaker 1: that are real game changes like he is with his
Speaker 1: legs and with his arm like it's just it's the
Speaker 1: That's the last quarterback I want to face. Yeah, if
Speaker 1: I was if I, if I, if I was just
Speaker 1: a defensive coordinator coming into with the thirty third team
Speaker 1: ever in the NFL history, that's the last dude I
Speaker 1: want to face. You can't game plan him. What do
Speaker 1: you do to stop him? Yeah? You draft micup persons.
Speaker 1: You need a couple of those. Good luck. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's why I'm circling that I've been circling that game.
Speaker 1: You know, I am circling that game because that's gonna
Speaker 1: be a heck of a matchup. All right, So let's
Speaker 1: go back to the beginning of the season. Let's go
Speaker 1: through these first six weeks, and I'm gonna start with
Speaker 1: you Amber. Tell me, what do you think was the
Speaker 1: most impressive performance that the Cowboys have had. Let's remind
Speaker 1: you guys, they lost to Tampa Bay thirty one twenty
Speaker 1: nine and start the season. Then they go to Los
Speaker 1: Angeles beat the Chargers twenty seventeen. Dallas then beats Philadelphia
Speaker 1: destroys Philadelphia forty one twenty one. Then they beat Carolina
Speaker 1: at home thirty six twenty eight, then destroy the Giants
Speaker 1: forty four to twenty and then last week's our last
Speaker 1: two gay two days ago, the game against the Patriots
Speaker 1: they win thirty five twenty nine. Which game was most
Speaker 1: impressive to you? Well? Week one was pretty impressive, I
Speaker 1: think because of the opponent obviously, and the way that
Speaker 1: they played. They were right up there battling back and forth.
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna have to stick with this past weekend.
Speaker 1: Then beating the Patriots just because of how dirty the
Speaker 1: game was, you know, the mistakes that were made. Not
Speaker 1: just that, you gotta add everything that happened with the
Speaker 1: refs and all the flags and everything that was kind
Speaker 1: of pushing against the Cowboys to not let it go
Speaker 1: their way, and yet the way they were able to
Speaker 1: fight back, It's just to me, that was pretty impressive.
Speaker 1: That's something I've been wanting to see. So it was
Speaker 1: just honestly the most exciting game and not the most
Speaker 1: enjoyable at times, but definitely I think the one that
Speaker 1: showed the most for them, I would say I would
Speaker 1: say last game. I would say the Patris game simply
Speaker 1: because it had everything, all the forms of adversity that
Speaker 1: you really have to overcome. You had to overcome the environment,
Speaker 1: you had to overcome the greatest coach of all time.
Speaker 1: You had to overcome being down, You had to overcome injuries, right,
Speaker 1: you had to overcome turnovers, so everything that you had
Speaker 1: to overcome. Oh and by the way, you weren't at
Speaker 1: full capacities because you have guys out still, so we're
Speaker 1: still not at one hundred percent. So I feel like
Speaker 1: last week's game was probably the most impressive win to
Speaker 1: date simply because we've had our playmakers had to stand up.
Speaker 1: Not only did we had to game plan our way
Speaker 1: back into the game and stay in the game. We
Speaker 1: get we tried to we try to cancel ourselves out
Speaker 1: with penalties, which were terrible penalties. They have to show up.
Speaker 1: Guys stepped up and made plays. Your playmakers made plays,
Speaker 1: the guys that you pay out the wazoo to make
Speaker 1: sure that they do that. But then guess what, the
Speaker 1: guys behind them did it too. So everybody wanted in
Speaker 1: on that victory. So I think that was most impressive. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's going to be a clean sweep because I say
Speaker 1: the same thing. Um, it was one of the it's
Speaker 1: one of those games when you go back at the
Speaker 1: end of the year and you're kind of like just
Speaker 1: looking at how your season went. That was a defining
Speaker 1: moment for this football team. You go to a place
Speaker 1: where you're historically you just haven't been able to win
Speaker 1: up there. Uh, you haven't been winning in Foxborough against
Speaker 1: that coach and that team, And you know what it's all.
Speaker 1: You knew what was going to be a tough game
Speaker 1: and you found ways. The biggest thing for this team
Speaker 1: that we have not seen in such a long time,
Speaker 1: and am or you hit on it was the ability
Speaker 1: to adapt and adjust. We talk about it all the
Speaker 1: time and we hear about it all the time, but
Speaker 1: we haven't seen it a lot with this with this
Speaker 1: football team in the years past. But you saw the adjustments.
Speaker 1: You saw the team continue to fight. You saw them
Speaker 1: overcome adversity and from many many, many, many many many
Speaker 1: times before a team that we've seen we're going to
Speaker 1: a game like this and fold like cheap lawn chairs
Speaker 1: and would have been like, uh, we're gonna take this ellen,
Speaker 1: go on head home. But they kept fighting, kept fighting.
Speaker 1: Tying the Secy came in and held his own for
Speaker 1: a little bit, said Wilson with the probably outside of
Speaker 1: maybe CDs catch, probably had one of the best catches
Speaker 1: and mighty the most important catch of the game on
Speaker 1: the fourth down. And for your quarterback to go on
Speaker 1: a fourth down and say, you know what, yeah, I
Speaker 1: get it. He's done. Number four our receiver, I'm throwing
Speaker 1: it to him. I'm throwing it to him. And and
Speaker 1: hell of a throw and even hell of a catch
Speaker 1: because that ball had to be perfect. Right, You're not
Speaker 1: going to CD who had a great game, You're not
Speaker 1: going by the way. It wasn't perfect. Said had to
Speaker 1: go up and get down. That was like perfect throw,
Speaker 1: like maybe the perfect throw saying because it was a
Speaker 1: dB that was sitting right there like you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, it was perfect a sense of getting it
Speaker 1: right over the height and said, you know, set went
Speaker 1: up there and got it. So this was this game
Speaker 1: had a little bit of everything in it, man, And
Speaker 1: to walk out of there victorious is one that can
Speaker 1: carry the momentum for this team for I mean weeks
Speaker 1: upon weeks upon weeks, because you can look back and say, hey, man, listen,
Speaker 1: we were down, we were out, the refs, you know, away,
Speaker 1: the crowd was against us. Everything was against us, but
Speaker 1: we battled through, we fought through, we came out with
Speaker 1: a victory, and those type of things you look at
Speaker 1: and you say, this is how you win championships. This
Speaker 1: is how you put yourself in a position to win championships. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the fact, no matter if you watch the NFL, you know,
Speaker 1: any team that's gonna go deep in the playoffs has
Speaker 1: these kinds of games and they win these kinds of
Speaker 1: games because that's the nature of the playoff. Like that's
Speaker 1: gonna be NFL playoff football. Like when you're playing these
Speaker 1: good teams, you're gonna have adversity. They're gonna win some too,
Speaker 1: Like you said before, they get paid too, and they're
Speaker 1: good teams too, So you're gonna have to just weather
Speaker 1: the adversity. You gonna have to figure out a way
Speaker 1: to win. You keep chipping and then when it gets
Speaker 1: down the end of the game, you gotta make a play.
Speaker 1: And I think there's a lot that was made about
Speaker 1: that game offensively and then driving down and get that.
Speaker 1: But you gotta get some credit to the defense, Like
Speaker 1: going they're into overtime, they made a stop, like they
Speaker 1: didn't allow them to get down kick a field goal.
Speaker 1: That was none of that. They had to stop and
Speaker 1: forced them to punt. That you put on the defense
Speaker 1: because we always talk about this defense, can you make
Speaker 1: the stops at the moments in the game when you
Speaker 1: need to make the stop. They did and not allowed
Speaker 1: the opportunity for the offense to Then going past years,
Speaker 1: how many times how we would would we talk about
Speaker 1: how the defense would be already tired, like towards the
Speaker 1: second half of the game. It's like they were exhausted,
Speaker 1: and obviously that affects them. But now they can keep
Speaker 1: up and obviously with the help that the offense is
Speaker 1: given them. It's just it's creating the perfect balance for them.
Speaker 1: What I mean, that's created because you got guys that
Speaker 1: are secondary and third you know, third guys that are
Speaker 1: stepping up and making plays. So as a defensive coordinator,
Speaker 1: you can rotate them. Now you can rotate guys. The
Speaker 1: guys aren't having to be out there as long they're
Speaker 1: not getting all those raps on them anymore. But you know,
Speaker 1: but to that point, you know, we had guys that
Speaker 1: were some you know wood what do you said it yesterday?
Speaker 1: We have some just some dogs, you know, Randy Gregory,
Speaker 1: They should have had a holding call. They didn't call it.
Speaker 1: So what did he do? Did he complain about it? Now?
Speaker 1: He got pissed off and said, forget it all right,
Speaker 1: I'll make the play right, all right, since you're since
Speaker 1: trying gonna call it, I'm gonna run through this dude's face, right,
Speaker 1: And then you got DIDs coming up there and snatching
Speaker 1: that thing up. Um you got you know, I mentioned
Speaker 1: Yesterly Gifford. I don't know how he got through there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but Gifford was like, hey, don't forget about me. I'm
Speaker 1: abo to make a play. So you know, you got
Speaker 1: everybody coming off. You know, everybody's coming to the playground
Speaker 1: trying to make play. But that's what winning does. Like,
Speaker 1: when your team is winning, you want in however you
Speaker 1: can get in, coach special Team, all right, come on,
Speaker 1: I'm in because you you wanted your name to be
Speaker 1: a part of something you don't want to just when
Speaker 1: you're losing, you just like, man, my check will be
Speaker 1: hill Tuesday. You know what I'm saying, Like whatever, But
Speaker 1: when when it's when you're winning and everybody's enthusiastic and
Speaker 1: you're looking around, you're saying, how can I be a
Speaker 1: part of this. How can I get a chance to
Speaker 1: get my name in the billing? And so this is
Speaker 1: this is I said this worth wrong with two weeks ago.
Speaker 1: This is a rejuvenated team because guys want you want
Speaker 1: to be a part of winning. You know, That's why
Speaker 1: everybody wants to come on hanging with the boys. You
Speaker 1: just wanted you apart, No as you slide over to
Speaker 1: the break, Yeah, everybody wants right, all right, we're gonna
Speaker 1: take our final break. Well we come back. We got
Speaker 1: more questions with these guys. I want to talk about
Speaker 1: a couple of the offensive players. We'll talk about defensive Marvin.
Speaker 1: Talk about a couple of the offensive players who have
Speaker 1: who've been out and their return and what this means
Speaker 1: in their return. Talk about that when we come right back.

Speaker 1: Back to the Break, Welcome back, Final segment of The Break,
Speaker 1: Live from the SWBC Mortgage Studios at the Star. We're
Speaker 1: talking about the offense, big picture, about the offense. Smart
Speaker 1: We'll get into some topics around the defense. But there
Speaker 1: have been two players I want to talk about who
Speaker 1: have been out on injury and presumably maybe coming well,
Speaker 1: not injury action for Lyle it was a suspension, but
Speaker 1: both are projected to possibly be back after the buy.
Speaker 1: You've got Lyle Collins right tackling. You got wide receiver
Speaker 1: Michael Gallop. My question for you guys is who will
Speaker 1: add more to the offense when they return? Because both
Speaker 1: of the replacements have played fairly well here in their absence,
Speaker 1: Who adds more when they come back? Gallop? Why what?
Speaker 1: He what you have to You have to respect the
Speaker 1: crap out of him when he's on the field. Um,
Speaker 1: he is our deep threat. Yes, Cedric Wilson can run um,
Speaker 1: but he's not a He's not feared by the opposing team, right,
Speaker 1: maybe just because he hasn't had enough reps to be feared. Um,
Speaker 1: he's fully capable. But Gallop is known when you when
Speaker 1: Gallops on the field, you better identify what the heck
Speaker 1: he's at, otherwise he's gonna end up behind you and
Speaker 1: your sake, thank you. Cedric an advantage, though I'm not
Speaker 1: if we're not utilizing him that way, right, So, I
Speaker 1: mean that's so, that's that's the thing, right, I mean,
Speaker 1: so it gives him advantage if you're gonna go to him.
Speaker 1: But Gallup could draw draw. I mean, now, Gallup might
Speaker 1: come very well come back and not get the ball.
Speaker 1: But guess who else is gonna eat Coop's gonna eat CD,
Speaker 1: is gonna eat Schultz, is gonna continue. Safety has to
Speaker 1: respect to respect him, and if you don't respect him,
Speaker 1: you're gonna he's gonna hit you over the head with
Speaker 1: the oopsie because him. Because Gallop and Um and Dak
Speaker 1: have a great relationship, right, and they have chemistry. So
Speaker 1: I think Gallup comes back and has a great impact.
Speaker 1: Whenever he does decided or have opportunity to come back,
Speaker 1: Collins would come back. And he's the for sure thing,
Speaker 1: right He's the thing that you don't have to worry
Speaker 1: about him. But his replacement has stepped up and not
Speaker 1: raised any concerns. So in terms of who had the
Speaker 1: greatest impact, I have to go with Gallup. I would
Speaker 1: agree with Gallup. But it's interesting we were talking about
Speaker 1: it during the break. You know what happens when Lyle
Speaker 1: comes back, and it's one of those things that this
Speaker 1: offensive line has had so many struggles injury wise, you know,
Speaker 1: and then getting adjusted and adapted to different things. You know,
Speaker 1: last year we saw many switches and then we finally
Speaker 1: got a guy that didn't have a great year last year,
Speaker 1: and then this year is stepping it up, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: I don't want to move. I don't I don't want
Speaker 1: to touch it. And I know it's Lyle. I know
Speaker 1: he's a guy that has proven himself as well. But
Speaker 1: then when something is working, why mess with it again?
Speaker 1: So I'm curious what is really gonna happen here, And
Speaker 1: if one thing McCarthy has shown, and it was last year,
Speaker 1: he's not necessarily scared to be like, oh well, he's
Speaker 1: the starter. He has to be there. We saw it
Speaker 1: happened last year, and I know a veteran guy has
Speaker 1: their power, and you know he's the guy that's supposed
Speaker 1: to go there. But McCarthy seems to not be afraid
Speaker 1: to do the un what would you call that unconventional
Speaker 1: unconventional thing. So we'll see what happens there, but I'd
Speaker 1: definitely go with Michael Gallup. That's the biggest threat. But well,
Speaker 1: to combat both of your points, because I'm going with
Speaker 1: Ile Collins. You just said, right, and you said, well,
Speaker 1: if it's not broke, if it's not if it ain't broke,
Speaker 1: you know, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. That
Speaker 1: wrote is passing game, that is slaying that thing around
Speaker 1: the Park seven eight guys a game, get at least
Speaker 1: a catch up too. We ain't missed Michael Gallup. Ain't
Speaker 1: nothing that Michael Gallup has brown that we've We sit
Speaker 1: back and we go dangn man, I'll show us. We
Speaker 1: would have had a deep threat. Nope, if we didn't
Speaker 1: get a holding a health a penalty said it would
Speaker 1: have had a fifty yard bomb last game. The passing
Speaker 1: game has not fallen off, not one bit. When it's
Speaker 1: been time to go to the passing game easily? How
Speaker 1: do you want it? Who wants it? Where it's gonna go?
Speaker 1: So for me, it's show up the offensive line and
Speaker 1: I get it. Ty Steel has done a good job
Speaker 1: this year. He has earned himself some money because we
Speaker 1: all know it's hard to find offensive lineman in this league,
Speaker 1: and once you find a couple, you'd like to keep
Speaker 1: those bad boys. So now we know that he can play,
Speaker 1: he could we finally found our swing tackle. So if
Speaker 1: if Tyrant happened to have a little bit of lingering
Speaker 1: neck or elbow or shoulder or kneel or ankle or whatever,
Speaker 1: cool Terry Steel is playing with a ton of confidence.
Speaker 1: He is familiar with the calls he's familiar with the
Speaker 1: offensive line, and now we can shift him up to
Speaker 1: the left hand side. But if I want to be
Speaker 1: a dominant offense, not just the dominant passing game. If
Speaker 1: I want to be a dominant offense, then I want
Speaker 1: the best players on my offensive line. And while Terrence
Speaker 1: has played a really good season, Lyle was a better player.
Speaker 1: There's a reason why Lyle was in next position before
Speaker 1: the suspension. Michael Gallup, we haven't missed a beat. Nobody
Speaker 1: has missed a beat. Dac Is still has the highest
Speaker 1: completion percentage in the National Football League, is third in
Speaker 1: touchdowns in the National Football League, is third in yards
Speaker 1: in the National Football League. So there's no need to
Speaker 1: go out there and mess with the receivers. They're all
Speaker 1: doing just fine. But let me challenge you a little bit.
Speaker 1: And you guys both played in the league, so you
Speaker 1: know this. You've seen this. There's something about an NFL offense,
Speaker 1: especially good teams, about their ability to evolve as the
Speaker 1: season goes on. As the season goes on, they start
Speaker 1: showing more and more and more. So just when you think,
Speaker 1: let's say, for example, you just finished a New England
Speaker 1: game where you feel like maybe Belichick may have exposed
Speaker 1: some things like this may be a way for you
Speaker 1: to kind of slow them down a bit now adding
Speaker 1: that new wrinkle of oh yeah, by the way, we
Speaker 1: got this guy that can go yard on you, like right,
Speaker 1: That's the part that maybe missing a bit. They haven't
Speaker 1: done that a whole lot. This year. We saw CD
Speaker 1: have the deep pass. Was that last game not the
Speaker 1: last game game four last, But that has not been
Speaker 1: something that is traditional that has been in this offense
Speaker 1: a lot this year. It was in the offense a
Speaker 1: lot last year before Dad got hurt. So I'm interested
Speaker 1: to see is this a moment where the offense can
Speaker 1: evolve even more and create even more of a problem
Speaker 1: for a team that's getting ready to play the Cowboys
Speaker 1: on how do we now handle this challenge? Due now
Speaker 1: it becomes a situation do we have to take away
Speaker 1: the running game, do we have to take away the
Speaker 1: short to medium passing game, or do we have to
Speaker 1: really be concerned about the deep ball and giving up
Speaker 1: that one or two play drive that now turns into
Speaker 1: a touchdown. That's the part where I think Gallup can
Speaker 1: provide a big difference over what they have now because
Speaker 1: he allows the offense to evolve. YEA, what do you
Speaker 1: think That's why? I think I think Gallup is presents
Speaker 1: more of a respect factor in terms of what the
Speaker 1: defense has the honor. Right. No, I'm not disrespect or
Speaker 1: disregarding what you're saying, turn Collins. Collins is a better player,
Speaker 1: and that's still that's that's easily said. But there's a
Speaker 1: continuity aspect that goes with offensive line. Right, and when
Speaker 1: you've missed how many games? Five games? When you missed
Speaker 1: five games, it's gonna take a little bit to get
Speaker 1: rolling again. All right, now, will you get there? Absolutely right?
Speaker 1: But do I see us all of a sudden becoming
Speaker 1: a more dominant running game, the running team because Collins
Speaker 1: is in there. No, because our issues have come from
Speaker 1: the interior line, because we're undersized there with Connor William
Speaker 1: and Tyler Beads. We're undersizing the interior. We haven't had
Speaker 1: any issues running outside. I think that Gallup gives his
Speaker 1: ability to score more and to be threatened more and
Speaker 1: do more offensively. Now, huge testament everything that you just
Speaker 1: said in terms of Kelly Moore, his ability to make
Speaker 1: things happen even in the absence of Gallop. That's a
Speaker 1: great officsive coordinator make you feel like you're not missing
Speaker 1: a beat in never Guard, but we are missing him
Speaker 1: in terms of our ability to go over the top,
Speaker 1: and we have not until your point, we have not
Speaker 1: had that threat. All of our big plays. We had
Speaker 1: one they ran, they ran man and CD got by
Speaker 1: him last week or the week before. But everything else
Speaker 1: has pretty much been over routes, pretty much been over routes.
Speaker 1: We had our big plays and that's cool, but we
Speaker 1: need a guy to can get that. Yeah, but that's
Speaker 1: been go look at the across the league, what has
Speaker 1: been the dominant route that people have this this this
Speaker 1: new deep over situation. They say, Okay, I'm gonna clear
Speaker 1: out the top and I'm gonna take one of my
Speaker 1: fastest guys and it's run them across. And if I
Speaker 1: get to protect, if I get the protection at the
Speaker 1: offensive line to protect me, then I can just I
Speaker 1: can just wait for him to go from this hash
Speaker 1: mark and looking good I got from that. I got
Speaker 1: from this hash mark to that zideline. My guy's faster
Speaker 1: than that safety or that DBS on his hip, and
Speaker 1: I could just throw it out there for a big play.
Speaker 1: The vertical passing game. The Randy Moss put your hand up.
Speaker 1: Passing games, it's changed. It's you see more of the
Speaker 1: deep overs. You see more of a clear route than
Speaker 1: then once you hit him on that one time with
Speaker 1: that clear out, now that safety bites down and now
Speaker 1: you hit him over the top. But you know, and
Speaker 1: I think we're all agreeing with that. I think the
Speaker 1: point though, is that just adds that extra dimension now,
Speaker 1: but you gotta protect it. I get that, but especially
Speaker 1: now when your quarterbacks has a bad calf. I get that.
Speaker 1: But what I will say is, if you watch that
Speaker 1: game yesterday, there were a couple of moments when things
Speaker 1: got a little weird, but there were a lot of moments,
Speaker 1: and Antonia was talking about it on the game a lot.
Speaker 1: There were a lot of moments where Dak was just
Speaker 1: standing back there. It had all day, like there was
Speaker 1: a wall of protection. And so even with still they're
Speaker 1: giving him time, he has time to get the ball
Speaker 1: out there. You get a guy like Gallop out on
Speaker 1: the outside now who can really go yard. I think
Speaker 1: that's where you have just that extra dimension. You're right,
Speaker 1: the crossing routes are always in today's game. That's that's
Speaker 1: the preferred way to get the ball down field quickly.
Speaker 1: But I think you when you got that guy that
Speaker 1: can just go, I think that adds a whole different
Speaker 1: dimension to the offense. Or right now, I just don't
Speaker 1: think they have you know what. I not to say
Speaker 1: that turn Smith is gonna be out or anything, but
Speaker 1: we already know that he's getting banked up, and history
Speaker 1: says Tyre is gonna miss two games. With that being said,
Speaker 1: I feel more comfortable keeping still in the game, just
Speaker 1: to keep the rhythm going and keep him doing what
Speaker 1: he's been doing. And just what are you saying to
Speaker 1: bench him? No, Leo, I mean he can warm up
Speaker 1: and hey, welcome to the break. Stay ready, stay down
Speaker 1: over there for a minute. We're talking about good chemistry.
Speaker 1: There's no hard feelings. It's okay. I know he really
Speaker 1: tried hard to get back on the field and get
Speaker 1: back from that suspension. But at the same time, I
Speaker 1: don't want to mess with Steele leave him there. I
Speaker 1: have a feeling. I'm not saying. I obviously do not
Speaker 1: want him, don't want this to happen, but if Tyrant
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, is not able to play, I'd rather,
Speaker 1: you know, at that point, bring Lyle collings back in
Speaker 1: who is the guy who has the experience. He's a veteran.
Speaker 1: He can get back into things rather quickly than me.
Speaker 1: Mess with the guy that's uh, you know, finally starting
Speaker 1: to find his groove. So that's that's how I see it,
Speaker 1: and I get it. It's a battering guy at all.
Speaker 1: But let's ask no hard feelings, which position poses more
Speaker 1: of a threat of something going wrong by replacing the
Speaker 1: guys that currently are in position? If you're by replacing steal.
Speaker 1: If you replace Steal, is there a greater chance of
Speaker 1: Collins causing some issues upfront? There's a loaded question. Is
Speaker 1: a loaded question, but but there's risk. There's risks because
Speaker 1: because I mean, you can put a receiver out there
Speaker 1: and he literally has no impact in the game. You
Speaker 1: just don't go to him, and it doesn't hurt you,
Speaker 1: it doesn't help you, you know whatsoever. Ahead add to
Speaker 1: my point, No, I'm add to your point. It's not
Speaker 1: he was making your point. But what I'm saying is
Speaker 1: is that that Lyle, you know, anything can go wrong
Speaker 1: with the offensive line, right, It's like, here's a bad
Speaker 1: like offensive line and cornerback are the two positions on
Speaker 1: the field where you can do everything right for ninety
Speaker 1: nine snaps yea, and on the hundred snap you could
Speaker 1: be so dominant for ninety I mean pancake blocks or
Speaker 1: ask break us and your break coverage and all that,
Speaker 1: and then on a hundred snap give up a sack
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden you trash. You can give
Speaker 1: up you know, a pass behind your head and four
Speaker 1: touchdown games over now it's like you're like, wait, I
Speaker 1: just locked him down for not one. So those are
Speaker 1: the two spots where it's so much pressure on them
Speaker 1: for them to be so good all the time because
Speaker 1: the one moment they aren't can be so to that point, though,
Speaker 1: to that point are you secure? And now this is
Speaker 1: no knock on comments. This is anybody in the offensive
Speaker 1: line with your officsive tackle, you're right tackle, right coming
Speaker 1: out and missing six weeks, he's he's been, he's gonna
Speaker 1: be six weeks rusty. This isn't This isn't him coming
Speaker 1: through all the through camp and then coming in and
Speaker 1: playing against Tampa Bay Buccaneers and he's fresh and he's
Speaker 1: been playing. This is six weeks of not practicing. By
Speaker 1: the way, remember, offensive line is the area where we
Speaker 1: always hear it. It's about continuity as much as it
Speaker 1: is about any individual and the abilities. It's about how
Speaker 1: are they're working as a unit. So if you got
Speaker 1: a unit that's working pretty well together, do you really
Speaker 1: want to disrupt that? Remind me again, how much work
Speaker 1: do you actually get to do when you're suspended? Are
Speaker 1: you you're not allowed to work out, to work out
Speaker 1: with the trainers. Yeah, he was able to be in
Speaker 1: the building, but he was not able to practice. He
Speaker 1: hasn't practiced him at all for six weeks for this well,
Speaker 1: after this week, it will be six weeks. You give
Speaker 1: me the best player. That's just me here, that's just me. Honestly,
Speaker 1: I don't think you got a wrong in I don't
Speaker 1: think you got a wrong exactly. That's exactly right. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think you when when Monday gets here, uh you know,
Speaker 1: whenever they get back to practice whatever you know, for
Speaker 1: for for the Minnesota game, run him at some gasers. No,
Speaker 1: you're right all the time, buddy, Like you can't be tired.
Speaker 1: You just have five weeks off. Let's go, let's let's go,
Speaker 1: let's go. And I even give here's a moment in time, hey, Tiry,
Speaker 1: rest the ankle still steal let's go. Sure you know so,
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, Lyle will get every single rep in practice,
Speaker 1: like do you will? Don't think about facts when we're
Speaker 1: doing the water break. Go get a rap facts, like
Speaker 1: every single rep you'll get in practice. But then at
Speaker 1: the end of the week, I'll know we're gonna go
Speaker 1: steal this game. Give you another week, but if you're
Speaker 1: gonna get every rep starting on that Monday, preparation for
Speaker 1: for Minnesota will happen. All right, that's a record race
Speaker 1: for it race here. We don't know. He wouldn't talk
Speaker 1: about him. He was talking about me. All right, that's
Speaker 1: a rap man. We'll be back tomorrow. We got lots
Speaker 1: to talk about tomorrow. We're gonna foot over the defensive side.
Speaker 1: There's so many storylines around this team on the defensive side.
Speaker 1: But we'll do that tomorrow till then Friday. I stand
Speaker 1: back Jesse Hollie amber Garcia. I am Derek Eagleton. This
Speaker 1: has been The Break live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com Radio.
