Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. This He's Talking Cowboys,
Speaker 1: screening live from the Dallas Cowboys World Headquarters at the
Speaker 1: Star in fris flowing to the SAT Scott Ta TA
Speaker 1: and now your hosts Isaiah Stanback, Heck Ma Harrison, Rob Phillips,
Speaker 1: and Kyle Yeoman's. It's officially a say It with your
Speaker 1: Chest Friday here on Talking Cowboys. Welcome into the show
Speaker 1: as we're gonna break down this Cowboys Giants matchup. We're
Speaker 1: gonna talk through our predictions, we're gonna finish up our
Speaker 1: first quarter grades, and guys, last week, first let me
Speaker 1: introduce you guys before I get into this little spiel.
Speaker 1: Heck Harrison, Rob Phillips, Isaiah stand Back. I'm Kyle Yeomans.
Speaker 1: And last week I mentioned that I don't think it
Speaker 1: was time to even look at the panic button yet
Speaker 1: the panic button wasn't even in the mail, wasn't even
Speaker 1: in the mail, wasn't on the way, wasn't being shifted. Well,
Speaker 1: after last week, I was like, Okay, maybe it's still
Speaker 1: not time to make the order, but I've got it
Speaker 1: in my cart. I've got the panic button. It's in
Speaker 1: my cart on my Amazon It's it's ready to go. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's ready to go, just to click on
Speaker 1: the button. Well, then we heard some news yesterday. Let's
Speaker 1: just say the panic button may or may not be
Speaker 1: Amazon Prime to ride back into the mail head in
Speaker 1: my direction in Frisco right now, because Tyrant Smith news
Speaker 1: came out yesterday. It's not official yet, but the neck
Speaker 1: issue has resurfaced. It was a reason why he was
Speaker 1: out of practice on Wednesday, he was out again Thursday,
Speaker 1: and now reevaluating the neck issue on whether or not
Speaker 1: he should shut the season down. That's where we'll start
Speaker 1: this Friday edition of Talking Cowboys. Didn't really want to
Speaker 1: make this an injury report, but really this is a
Speaker 1: huge blow to the Cowboys if it ends up being true. Rob.
Speaker 1: What's the latest on what Tyrn Smith is dealing with? Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're starting to say your Chess Friday off on a
Speaker 1: down note. Left. Yeah, you know, basically as of now,
Speaker 1: what Stephen Jones told our Nickietman yesterday is that indeed
Speaker 1: all options are on the table, including surgery, to try
Speaker 1: to correct the problem, because clearly he had some type
Speaker 1: of setback after the game. You know, I mentioned yesterday
Speaker 1: he played eighty two snaps. He played every snap in
Speaker 1: the game, but clearly he had some problems afterwards as
Speaker 1: the week started, and you know, I think the Cowboys
Speaker 1: were hopeful. You know, when he didn't practice Wednesday, it's like, okay,
Speaker 1: you know, I didn't I figured he was going to
Speaker 1: have a Romo type Wednesday thing as they went on
Speaker 1: through this season, because uh, you know, they felt like
Speaker 1: it was a situation. They you know, it didn't just
Speaker 1: go away with the Browns game. They were gonna have
Speaker 1: to manage it and make sure he's okay going forward
Speaker 1: because the stuff can crop up pretty quickly. But obviously
Speaker 1: getting a second opinion anytime you're talking about surgery, as
Speaker 1: we saw with Lyle Collins who had surgery yesterday, if
Speaker 1: you're talking about it, it means it's a definitely a
Speaker 1: real proposition, and it's it's tough. You know, when Jerry
Speaker 1: Jones said on Tuesday on the Fan that his number
Speaker 1: one concern wasn't the defense, he didn't talk about the defense.
Speaker 1: He talked about the offensive line depth. Now we know why,
Speaker 1: because now we're right back talking about how they're going
Speaker 1: to fix things on the on the left side and
Speaker 1: the right side. Yeah, heck, I mean this is not good, Fellas,
Speaker 1: It's not good. It's not good at all. Yeah, now
Speaker 1: that's not good at all. Man. Obviously we know the
Speaker 1: importance of having that man on the field. We need
Speaker 1: Tyron Smith. He is that dude on the left side.
Speaker 1: He protects the backside of your franchise quarterback, of your
Speaker 1: most valuable player on your team. That is going to
Speaker 1: hurt with him not being there if he's taken from
Speaker 1: somebody who's had seven surgeries. Okay, I've had seven of them,
Speaker 1: all right, and I think three of them occurred here
Speaker 1: in Dallas. Seven damn it. Man. Hey, I'm just saying, Hey,
Speaker 1: I took a licking and I came back taking you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. But take it from somebody who's
Speaker 1: been through it and been through injuries. And I even
Speaker 1: like my time here in Dallas, where it wasn't the
Speaker 1: greatest career that I wanted, of course, but it was
Speaker 1: played with injuries. I came in with coming off of
Speaker 1: surgery rehab from that, and then I faced three surgeries
Speaker 1: in a row here in Dallas, right, two shoulder surgeries
Speaker 1: and a knee surgery. Two of those surgeries. I played
Speaker 1: the whole year with the pain, but knowing that at
Speaker 1: the end of the year I was gonna have to
Speaker 1: get surgery. So I played less than one hundred percent
Speaker 1: shoulder popping in and out, dealing with the pain, dealing
Speaker 1: with the you know, scruciating pain that comes with that.
Speaker 1: But I knew and I was gonna have to shut
Speaker 1: it down after the offseason or maybe even sometime during
Speaker 1: the season. They get it taken care of, if they
Speaker 1: know that they're his guy going forward, is probably a
Speaker 1: smart move to secure the bag and make sure that
Speaker 1: he's good going forward. But you just hate to have
Speaker 1: to do that at the sacrifice of potentially this season.
Speaker 1: You came in with a laborum right with the Cowboys.
Speaker 1: I no, I came in with my foot I had.
Speaker 1: I had a little frank jury, but I had labor
Speaker 1: laboramu meniscus. So I just Dallas didn't like me apparently
Speaker 1: with my body. But uh, the league was rough to me.
Speaker 1: But I mean, but I mean, but it just sucks.
Speaker 1: It sucks. And we we've been we've been talking about
Speaker 1: this office, the line for a long time, and this
Speaker 1: obviously it doesn't sound good to believe me, if you're
Speaker 1: talking about it, ask somebody who's had it. It's it's
Speaker 1: it's a rat heck. I mean, it would make me
Speaker 1: feel good at all whenever it comes to this office.
Speaker 1: You said last night on our on our on our
Speaker 1: text group last night, you said you had the bubble
Speaker 1: guts again. Yeah. I was about to lead him into
Speaker 1: that convert because I know you're nervous about this, just
Speaker 1: in the fact of having a left tackle and a
Speaker 1: right tackle now out for the season. If that ends
Speaker 1: up being the decision, Now you've got a revolving door.
Speaker 1: Is he gonna be Brandon Night, is gonna be Terran Steele?
Speaker 1: You've got Jordan Mills, You've got Greg sat I mean,
Speaker 1: you've got a bevy of options, but none of them
Speaker 1: are Tyrn Smith, no man. And I think my upset
Speaker 1: stomach and indigestion started with the retiring of Ving Fresh.
Speaker 1: So I mean it's just been it's steadily, you know,
Speaker 1: steady decline and guys being hurt and just the injury news.
Speaker 1: I thought, just like you did, Rob that you know,
Speaker 1: we were just taking those I wouldn't say senior citizen
Speaker 1: days are just days off of giving your veteran guys
Speaker 1: a little bit of rest. But when the news came
Speaker 1: out that there was a setback from from the Cleveland
Speaker 1: game or whatever he's dealing with, and and even going
Speaker 1: back to a conversation that I had with Joe Thomas
Speaker 1: about stingers and saying that that's the only way to
Speaker 1: alleviate it for a lot of guys is by going
Speaker 1: to get those surgeries to widen the nerves. So it look,
Speaker 1: it gives us, It gives me pauls As to say, look,
Speaker 1: what do we do for the rest of the season.
Speaker 1: It also tells you why they are bringing in so
Speaker 1: many guys in having those auditions every day at the
Speaker 1: Star in Frisco. But look, we have a game on Sunday,
Speaker 1: and we gotta go with the guys that we have.
Speaker 1: Brandon Brandon Knight. If you are a ward daddy, let's
Speaker 1: see it all right, Tara Steele, It's it's your job
Speaker 1: to lose at this point, and it looks how else
Speaker 1: do you adjust your game plan at this point? If
Speaker 1: you're the Dallas Cowboys, knowing that you are going to
Speaker 1: go through twelve games without your veteran left tackle, it's
Speaker 1: amazing that they've played four games and they've got the
Speaker 1: number one offense and the third highest scoring offense, because
Speaker 1: I think when when Tyran first went down before the
Speaker 1: Atlantic game, it was like, can they function? You know?
Speaker 1: And it hasn't been the way they've wanted to, but
Speaker 1: they have been able to move the ball at least
Speaker 1: in the passing game. So I guess that's encouraging. But
Speaker 1: you hate to see this, and yeah, it does bring
Speaker 1: up the question what are they gonna do? Because you know,
Speaker 1: if you want to put Brandon Knight at left tackle,
Speaker 1: I think that's probably your best option. They're getting like
Speaker 1: heck yeah, like as Heckma said, though they've got more
Speaker 1: options potentially at right tackle. I know people, Kyle, I
Speaker 1: don't know, if you want to get into all the
Speaker 1: different combinations, people are gonna ask should they move Zach
Speaker 1: Martin out to right tackle? I think that comes down
Speaker 1: to whether you feel I think Mike McCarthy doesn't want
Speaker 1: to do that. I don't think he doesn't want to
Speaker 1: change a bunch of spots. But to me, it might
Speaker 1: come down to whether you feel better about a Connor
Speaker 1: McGovern playing tackle better than your options at right tackle.
Speaker 1: You know you juggle the two and say, okay, because
Speaker 1: I'm about I'm about best five personally, guys. I mean
Speaker 1: I think you know, it eliminates concern of one on
Speaker 1: one matchups because you're gonna have you saw it with
Speaker 1: Miles Garrett against Terrence Steele last week. Eventually, guys are
Speaker 1: gonna have to just hold their own and so who's
Speaker 1: your best five? I think they still got to figure
Speaker 1: that out, and they still gotta be I think they
Speaker 1: gotta be flexible too at just as it goes. If
Speaker 1: it's not working, try something else. Hey, but Rob, I
Speaker 1: have a question for you and and Kyle. Heck, even
Speaker 1: when you find the five, do you really expect him
Speaker 1: to give a hundred percent for all seventy plays? You
Speaker 1: damn right? Yes? Oh wow, we yeah, we didn't talk
Speaker 1: about that yesterday. No we didn't. No, no, we didn't.
Speaker 1: We can get into that if you want to. But
Speaker 1: that's a setup. That's a setup. You set me up there,
Speaker 1: like yeah. So he's referring, of course, to what Xavier
Speaker 1: Woods had to say about the defensive side of the
Speaker 1: football and that you're not quote unquote expected to play
Speaker 1: one hundred percent at one hundred percent of the time ultimately,
Speaker 1: is what he ended up saying earlier in the week.
Speaker 1: So transferring that over to the offensive line though, and
Speaker 1: I kind of wanted to go off of what what
Speaker 1: Rob was just saying with the best five, Terrence Steele
Speaker 1: probably isn't a part of that best five? Correct? Would
Speaker 1: we all agree with that? Terren Steele not a part
Speaker 1: of the best five? Who else do you have? Who
Speaker 1: else do you have behind tarn Still? I mean, at
Speaker 1: this point, we're talking about moving Zack Martin now to
Speaker 1: right tackle, and that's going to leave a deficiency right
Speaker 1: smack dab in the middle of our offensive line. We're
Speaker 1: already starting a rookie at center, and we already have
Speaker 1: a big question mark over our left guard. You know,
Speaker 1: Zack Martin to me, I think he gives that assistance
Speaker 1: and at least gives you the state of mind going
Speaker 1: into a game that you're strong next to some of
Speaker 1: your weaker links. I don't know how you put him
Speaker 1: out on the island and expect for the middle of
Speaker 1: your offensive line to have be solid at all. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I think that would be a mistake to
Speaker 1: do that, especially with Looney now dealing with an mcl
Speaker 1: I agree, go ahead, us don't. I don't know who
Speaker 1: our best five is. I know we got nine offensive
Speaker 1: tackles within this roster, so there's some guys that we
Speaker 1: don't even know what the they can do. So at
Speaker 1: this point, go out there and put your pass rushers.
Speaker 1: I put Alden Smith out there, pick d law on it,
Speaker 1: put Randy Gregory and having to do one on ones
Speaker 1: all practice today and find out who the heck is
Speaker 1: a dog and that's who you put out there on
Speaker 1: the field. Oklahoma, Drill drill second. Tried to do that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm with heck. I mean I would feel better about
Speaker 1: maybe kicking Zach out to right tackle if you had
Speaker 1: Looney in the middle there. I think having his presence
Speaker 1: probably helps be Oddish and uh, you know, look for
Speaker 1: cam Irving at some point. I think he's definitely making progress.
Speaker 1: They have two open spots on their fifty three right now,
Speaker 1: so you know, Anthony Brown could take one of those
Speaker 1: this week coming off I R and possibly cam Irving
Speaker 1: as early as this week, maybe next week. And we'll
Speaker 1: see about Laton vander Esh But but I think they
Speaker 1: think he's getting close, so he becomes an option for
Speaker 1: you soon. I just don't know if it's gonna be
Speaker 1: at least a couple of weeks. Probably uh, with with
Speaker 1: the MCL, MCL usually you know, two to four or
Speaker 1: something like that. So they got to roll with the
Speaker 1: rookie there in the middle there for the time being,
Speaker 1: which I don't think is necessarily a bad thing. I
Speaker 1: think be Odish has done a fine job of popping
Speaker 1: in there and even in the middle of that offense.
Speaker 1: Now look at that, and you look at that good,
Speaker 1: good way that I've always I'd like, be honest, I
Speaker 1: said a long time ago that Beyondes should have been
Speaker 1: a starter and Luna should be playing guard. I said
Speaker 1: that a long time ago. Oh, I like him, throw
Speaker 1: him in there. We also we also said with a
Speaker 1: short training camp that Beodish would probably not be the
Speaker 1: starter at the beginning of the year, but ultimately would
Speaker 1: transition into that role. And I think we're starting to
Speaker 1: see that, maybe a little bit earlier than what was
Speaker 1: anticipated due to the MCL injury to Luny, But overall,
Speaker 1: Beyondest should really his job right now, and I don't
Speaker 1: I don't know if he even really which is it's
Speaker 1: not that early. Only have you only have seventy five
Speaker 1: percent more games to play. That's true. Yeah, yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: three quarters of the season left to go. There's a
Speaker 1: lot of football left to be played here, Isaiah. Now, yes,
Speaker 1: with that being said, sticking with the theme of there's
Speaker 1: a lot of football left to be played, and Rob
Speaker 1: mentioned it, Isaiah mentioned it, Layton Vanderesh still looking ahead
Speaker 1: of schedule. Yesterday hearing practice he not only had a
Speaker 1: helmet on, but he also had pads and he was
Speaker 1: in team not team drills, but he was in individual
Speaker 1: position drills throughout the course of the morning. So even yesterday,
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy, he didn't rule out not having Layton Vanderesh,
Speaker 1: but he also didn't necessarily say he was going to
Speaker 1: play on Sunday. I still don't expect him to play
Speaker 1: on Sunday. But Rob, is this something that we can
Speaker 1: maybe see going into Week six against Arizona? Or do
Speaker 1: we take the there's a lot of football left to
Speaker 1: play approach? It's crazy we're talking about this because he's
Speaker 1: what is he three weeks removed from having the play
Speaker 1: put in and the plate you know, it does accelerate
Speaker 1: the healing process. So and they say he's ahead of schedules,
Speaker 1: so we'll just see how he does. You're right, Mike
Speaker 1: didn't rule it out. I don't know how realistic that is.
Speaker 1: It depends on how he did yesterday. He's not on
Speaker 1: the injury report because he's on IR, so they said
Speaker 1: he was gonna try to do some stuff yesterday. You know,
Speaker 1: next week they have a little bit longer week. I
Speaker 1: don't know if that really matters, but they play a
Speaker 1: Monday night game I think October nineteenth, so it's a
Speaker 1: little bit of a longer week. Maybe it's possible he
Speaker 1: gets back by then, but you know, wow, you know,
Speaker 1: usually when you're with collar bones, you're talking about six
Speaker 1: weeks minimum. So's he's Superman. Apparently he's doing well. He's
Speaker 1: got he's got to be man. And Isaiah being our
Speaker 1: resident doctor here on the podcast, I mean, you talk
Speaker 1: about a bone healing fast. That's crazy to me. Even
Speaker 1: when I saw the images and we talked about it yesterday,
Speaker 1: I didn't even think that it was realistic that he
Speaker 1: would be back. But when you hear Mike McCarthy saying
Speaker 1: that he could play Sunday, I don't know what I'm
Speaker 1: I guess I'm trying to register how is that possible
Speaker 1: or even how can he be back versus Arizona. But apparently,
Speaker 1: with the medical advancements, that bone is healing quickly and
Speaker 1: he could be back playing medal. He could be back
Speaker 1: playing middle linebacker by next Monday. Smoke signals. Smoke signals
Speaker 1: this dude, you would be setting him up for failure.
Speaker 1: We talked. I did mention you know here. I told
Speaker 1: you guys that bones hill substantially faster. You can put
Speaker 1: poems and bones hill fast. However, however, okay, him practicing,
Speaker 1: don't get too excited. He's practicing with pads on. Yes,
Speaker 1: he's practice with a helping on. Yes. But we ain't
Speaker 1: said nothing about him hitting anybody. Yep. Okay, that collar bone,
Speaker 1: that neck, nothing about that prevents you from going out
Speaker 1: there and running around the practice field. Okay, but I
Speaker 1: guarantee you he hasn't hit not one person, nor do
Speaker 1: they intend on him hitting anybody over the next few weeks.
Speaker 1: And if they do, I think that this would be
Speaker 1: I love the training staff, but I and I respect
Speaker 1: Jim Bow and all those guys. I don't. I can't
Speaker 1: see them putting him out there. I just can't see
Speaker 1: them they care too much about their guys. If they
Speaker 1: do that, then I feel like they're probably getting pressure
Speaker 1: from somewhere else because you're setting him up for failure. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just I mean think about it, Like and Mike
Speaker 1: said he probably would do some limited stuff potentially yesterday,
Speaker 1: which doesn't mean full team or anything like that. That
Speaker 1: would be his first time out there period, in pads, whatever,
Speaker 1: in basically a month. I think, like September twelfth was
Speaker 1: they had a practice the day before the game, the
Speaker 1: opener against the Rams. Like that's one practice and you
Speaker 1: put him out there. That's that's kind of hard to see.
Speaker 1: You can put him out there in a deep sea
Speaker 1: diving outfit and he's still not gonna be playing in
Speaker 1: the games. It doesn't matter. He won't be. He should
Speaker 1: not be. Let me put it this way, he should
Speaker 1: not be playing for at least another three weeks. In
Speaker 1: my opinion, I'm confused where the deep sea diving reference
Speaker 1: came from, but whatever I'm gonna stick with it is
Speaker 1: that you know the navy man, you know that the
Speaker 1: heavy the heavy outfit. Okay, okay, okay, so like military
Speaker 1: grade stuff is what we're talking about here. Jorn uh Yeah,
Speaker 1: and whenever it comes to late. In vander ash yesterday
Speaker 1: during the media portion of practice, there was actually a
Speaker 1: moment where he kind of I don't know if it
Speaker 1: was a joke or what what it ended up being,
Speaker 1: but there was a bit of a pad tackling drill
Speaker 1: that the defense and even some of the offense the
Speaker 1: special teams were going through on the other side where
Speaker 1: they were tackling dummies, and he kind of went and
Speaker 1: got in line and Jalen Smith like kind of kind
Speaker 1: of hugged him and gave him a little pat on
Speaker 1: the back. I was like, yeah, not yet, buddy, let's
Speaker 1: not get ahead. And I think it might have been
Speaker 1: a joke between the two, but from afar it looked
Speaker 1: kind of funny, just that chopping at the bit mentality
Speaker 1: with Layton vander Esch. He's a leader, he's somebody that
Speaker 1: you want on your defense, but you also want him
Speaker 1: to stay healthy for an elongated period of time. I
Speaker 1: think that needs to be the priority, and I think
Speaker 1: it is the priority on the other side of the building.
Speaker 1: And hopefully lvs ready to go for a lengthy period
Speaker 1: of time. Okay, so when we come back, we're going
Speaker 1: to finish up our grades of the first quarter. We've
Speaker 1: talked about it all week long. We finish it up
Speaker 1: with special teams and coaching. Let's see who Isaiah gives

Speaker 1: Talking Cowboys. Glad you're with us on Dallas Cowboys dot
Speaker 1: Com and the various streaming platforms. Kyle Yeomen's Isaiah stand Back,
Speaker 1: Rob Phillips, and the fantastic mister heck Ma Harrison with
Speaker 1: you up until ten o'clock today as we break down
Speaker 1: this Cowboys Giants game and also looking back a little bit.
Speaker 1: We're gonna finish up what we've done all week long.
Speaker 1: And this has been a fun segment because there's been
Speaker 1: some debate, there's been some disagreements, there's been some honeycrisp
Speaker 1: apples involved, There's been so many different things thrown around
Speaker 1: during this segment. But it's our first quarter grades and
Speaker 1: we've talked about the offense in terms of the passing game,
Speaker 1: the running game, the trenches with offensive and defensive line.
Speaker 1: Yesterday we attacked the defense and went linebackers and safeties
Speaker 1: and those were some pretty harsh grades. But now we
Speaker 1: go into special teams and the coaching staff, and this
Speaker 1: is through the first couple of weeks of the season.
Speaker 1: We can be easy on the coaching staff and just
Speaker 1: do it as a whole. We don't have to attack
Speaker 1: certain individuals or talk about certain individuals at this point,
Speaker 1: just coaching as a whole what you think thought so far?
Speaker 1: But special teams will start things off here. It hasn't
Speaker 1: been pretty for the Cowboys at times, but at other times.
Speaker 1: Its actually one year, your first football game, uh, and
Speaker 1: your only football game of the year so far. But Isaiah,
Speaker 1: what do you think in terms of this special teams
Speaker 1: unit so far in twenty twenty D minus oh D minus? Okay?
Speaker 1: They have had entirely too many mistakes. Entirely too many mistakes.
Speaker 1: The only positive thing that I've seen from this unit
Speaker 1: is obviously the watermelon kick, which you really shouldn't have
Speaker 1: been in a situation anyway because you messed up earlier
Speaker 1: in the game. Um. And also their their their punt
Speaker 1: coverage has been good. Their their punt coverage has been
Speaker 1: pretty respectable. Uh. And they with their gunners. Their gunners
Speaker 1: are getting down the field enforcing fair catches like nobody's business.
Speaker 1: So I respect them for that. But aside from that,
Speaker 1: it has not been good. UM in terms of not
Speaker 1: it seems you said we can lump it all together. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: so it's a it's a D minus for me, for
Speaker 1: the coach, for the for the special team's coach, and
Speaker 1: this unit. UM. I think that they're trying hard, but
Speaker 1: their lack of execution. UM kudos that are coached for
Speaker 1: calling it. But you know, when the guys aren't aren't
Speaker 1: making them making the necessary plays, you got to get
Speaker 1: somebody else in there. And there's just no there's no
Speaker 1: room for errors on special teams. It's just too it's
Speaker 1: too important a portion of the game. It's a third
Speaker 1: of the game, and people always forget that. All right, heck,
Speaker 1: all right. Well, the going theme around here has been
Speaker 1: that for as a coaching staff, we hadn't been very aggressive,
Speaker 1: and now we have a coaching staff that has been
Speaker 1: overly aggressive. And Chris Jones is where Chris Jones passed
Speaker 1: away from obviously executing a great fake punt. I think
Speaker 1: all of the failed attempts you can look at, and
Speaker 1: we talked at length about the Squift kick in the
Speaker 1: Cleveland game. But when it comes down to other areas,
Speaker 1: in other areas and for special teams, I have the
Speaker 1: feeling like Ceedee Lamb is getting close. I feel as
Speaker 1: though somebody's gonna We're gonna cover one, and Ceedee Lamb
Speaker 1: is going to put the Lambeau on the runway, uh
Speaker 1: and go take one to the house. I just look,
Speaker 1: there are other areas that you look at that you
Speaker 1: just oh, man, we need improvement on that. And I
Speaker 1: never liked pats or field goals turning into events. So
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go see minus overall and just leave it
Speaker 1: at that. I like it. Love that explanation, Rob. I
Speaker 1: got some apples ready for you, guys, because I got
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go to the sea. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go to the sea because I know, I know.
Speaker 1: But look, they would be owing four right now if
Speaker 1: they didn't pull off that kick. And that was a
Speaker 1: hell of a play. That's one of the best craziest
Speaker 1: plays I've ever seen that that that helps the curve
Speaker 1: a little, gives them a passing great rough Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think so. Now, look, it hasn't been good. It
Speaker 1: hasn't been good overall, and John Fossil spoke to that,
Speaker 1: But you guys hit on some things they have done well.
Speaker 1: You're right, Isaiah. The coverage has been pretty good. They
Speaker 1: haven't allowed any big returns really, uh in kickoffs or
Speaker 1: punt um ceedee. Lamb, like heck said, has been effective
Speaker 1: as a returner. That's been a problem in the past.
Speaker 1: At punt returns. And I know Greg Zerline had a
Speaker 1: blocked extra point, he's missed a kick, but he's definitely
Speaker 1: an upgrade. I think he's definitely an upgrade over Brett Maher.
Speaker 1: So there's some things they can they can build on.
Speaker 1: But if not for your special teams, you were a
Speaker 1: winless football team. Right now, at the end of that game,
Speaker 1: you're a winless football team. So if that's why I
Speaker 1: got to give him a little a little bit higher
Speaker 1: right before before Kyle goes, can I just help everybody
Speaker 1: remember because I'm a specialist. I was a special specialist
Speaker 1: in the league, more more than I was a receiver
Speaker 1: or quarterback or even a tight end. Right, I was
Speaker 1: a specialist. That's what I did. Um, let me just
Speaker 1: remind everybody. So there was a miss extra point yep. Yes,
Speaker 1: a block fail goal because we failed to block it
Speaker 1: up properly. Yes, Um, A terrible squid kick that had
Speaker 1: that was pointless, right, and I'm not sure what the
Speaker 1: point of that was. Yes, Um, don't forget about kickoff returns. Yeah,
Speaker 1: kick kickoff returns off is like kick off is like pointless.
Speaker 1: Like the NFL needs to change it. It's ridiculous. I
Speaker 1: was a part of the XFL and they did a
Speaker 1: good job changing that. The NFL needs to figure this
Speaker 1: out because that's a point display right now. But um,
Speaker 1: and then let's also not forget the fact if that
Speaker 1: we had two fake punts that failed, right, and that's
Speaker 1: all within the first four weeks, there's no way they
Speaker 1: have a passing grade. But I'm gonna I'm gonna, like Kyle,
Speaker 1: determine that. But it's the power of the watermelon kick,
Speaker 1: don't the power? Man? No A C minus. Let's see
Speaker 1: C minus come on the paths to rob. You can't
Speaker 1: put too much weight on a watermelon kick because the
Speaker 1: watermelon kick only was successful because of the lack of
Speaker 1: execution by Atlanta Falcons defender. That is it? Hey, that's
Speaker 1: all that's maybe it's not, that's not it was no. Hey,
Speaker 1: you're you're absolutely correct, But it wasn't that. It was
Speaker 1: just this amazing. It was a great kick. Doesn't not
Speaker 1: get it wrong. But had that gentleman done when he
Speaker 1: was supposed to do, there would still be an on fourteen.
Speaker 1: That's not how the statuate. Breeze man, how's this one? Listen?
Speaker 1: Whenever you're let's go across the street from where that
Speaker 1: watermelon kick happened, And yesterday the Dodgers and the Padres
Speaker 1: were playing in globally Field. You think at some point
Speaker 1: Joe Kelly was like, no, I'm gonna throw a curveball
Speaker 1: or a fastball instead of a curveball here, because you know,
Speaker 1: as a as a Padres hitter on the other side,
Speaker 1: you should be able to hit that ball. No, you
Speaker 1: try and change it up a little bit. You throw
Speaker 1: a curveball at him. That's what the special teams did,
Speaker 1: and that's why that did that kick ended up working.
Speaker 1: Did the Dodgers lose that game? No? They won. No,
Speaker 1: That's why I'm saying. I'm saying they won that game
Speaker 1: because we know who would sleep on the game, Dodgers.
Speaker 1: Dodgers are going to the NLCS. Anyways, back to football,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stick with hecma here. I'm not up to
Speaker 1: a sea, but I'm at a sem I thought, heck,
Speaker 1: I explained it. Well, there's goods, there's bads. There hasn't
Speaker 1: necessarily been any sort of u of positive in the
Speaker 1: kick return, but there's been a lot of positive in
Speaker 1: the pump return, and even with the kicking game. I
Speaker 1: don't really put a ton of stock in block kicks.
Speaker 1: I think you can share that up pretty quickly here.
Speaker 1: I think Greg Surline gives you an opportunity at some point.
Speaker 1: You haven't seen it yet to knock through any kind
Speaker 1: of field goal from long distance. They haven't had a
Speaker 1: chance to do any of that field goal. I'm looking
Speaker 1: at you, Isaiah, I see you doing this. It's ah,
Speaker 1: remember this first one. I'm saying it. So I just
Speaker 1: want to make sure that we're clear here because I
Speaker 1: know you guys are all educated individuals, and you guys
Speaker 1: are putting a lot of weight on the on the
Speaker 1: watermelon kicks. So that's a one positive correct, YEA one
Speaker 1: positive Okay. So well, there's a couple we've had We've
Speaker 1: had a uh okay, there's one main positive that that's
Speaker 1: only one play that we can we got turned to it.
Speaker 1: There's been a couple of good what twelve yard returns
Speaker 1: or something like that by by CD Lamb. That's that's it.
Speaker 1: But we've had a drop kickoff return, we've had a
Speaker 1: miss extra point, we've had a block extra field goal,
Speaker 1: we've had two failed punts. We've had a terrible squid
Speaker 1: here so I'm naming like six to seven negatives, and
Speaker 1: you guys are putting all the weight on one positive.
Speaker 1: We're not saying this is an A or an A plus.
Speaker 1: If you take all those things away, it may be
Speaker 1: a B or a B plus. But we're not even
Speaker 1: there yet. You gave you gave him a D. You
Speaker 1: gave him a D minus. Right. I guarantee you he
Speaker 1: would say the same thing. That is not a that
Speaker 1: is not acceptable on special teams. You don't get enough
Speaker 1: plays on special teams every game to make mistakes like
Speaker 1: these guys are making. These are technical errors. These aren't
Speaker 1: just things that happen. No, you don't. You don't bring
Speaker 1: up a valid point. You don't drop a ballot point.
Speaker 1: As a kickoff returner for the former Dallas formerly as
Speaker 1: a Dallas Cowboys, you don't drop kickoff returns. You don't,
Speaker 1: especially when they're in the area they're curveballs, you don't
Speaker 1: drop them. So so that's bad. Okay. You don't give
Speaker 1: up block field goals. You don't do that. You don't
Speaker 1: do that, not, not not with that, not technique wise,
Speaker 1: you don't. You don't miss extra points D minus, right,
Speaker 1: you don't. You don't do that right, and guess what,
Speaker 1: and when you're back and when you run a fake punt,
Speaker 1: you make sure that you do your job. And they
Speaker 1: did not twice twice. And look at the raplifications of
Speaker 1: those plays. Look at that. Look what happened on those
Speaker 1: negative plays. Yeah, it didn't go well. No, it didn't
Speaker 1: go It didn't go well. And it's not like we're
Speaker 1: giving them an A minus, B plus any of that.
Speaker 1: Just c mind. But you're passing them onto the next
Speaker 1: grade though. Heck him, you're pat letting him go. You're
Speaker 1: letting them advance within your educational system. And that's you
Speaker 1: know what, Isaiah, you right, this is the one time
Speaker 1: you have changed all right, yeah, all right? A D plus?
Speaker 1: Can I give him a D plus and give that
Speaker 1: worse deep still passing? No, according to the grade, No,
Speaker 1: it is not where where we're over that half a
Speaker 1: letter grade. He's not gonna litterize. He's sixty five to
Speaker 1: sixty nine percent. That's where they're at right now. If that,
Speaker 1: I mean, you're fighting over what could have been seventy
Speaker 1: one to sixty nine whatever. Let's move on to our
Speaker 1: coaching staff. I mean, we can talk about the special teams.
Speaker 1: And whether or not they've been good. None of us
Speaker 1: said they were good. I just want to lay that
Speaker 1: out there, and I just want to say a passing
Speaker 1: grade at a C minus is different than getting an
Speaker 1: A or an A minus. Anyways, going to the coaching
Speaker 1: staff and like I said, lumping all of this together,
Speaker 1: mostly talking about play calling here. Whenever you're looking at
Speaker 1: the defensive side of the football and the offensive side,
Speaker 1: we can kind of balance it and Tito totter it
Speaker 1: back and forth. But I'll start things off in terms
Speaker 1: of play calling, and really because of what Kellen Moore
Speaker 1: has done on the offensive side of the football to
Speaker 1: adjust for what is a banged up offensive line, I
Speaker 1: think it off balances what I could have given an
Speaker 1: F on the defensive side of the football, but I'll
Speaker 1: give it a solid D plus. And really that's the
Speaker 1: only thing I can look at from a positive standpoint,
Speaker 1: because I think Kellvin Moore is getting better as a
Speaker 1: play caller and we're starting to see that evolution. However,
Speaker 1: Mike Nolan has just kind of struggled on the defensive
Speaker 1: side of the football, and I don't necessarily think he's
Speaker 1: done a good job of putting his players in the
Speaker 1: best scenario in where their talent is utilized the best. Isaiah,
Speaker 1: what have you've got on this grade? See? Were you
Speaker 1: talking about the offensive the defense both? I mean, that's
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I'm combining them together. We don't have
Speaker 1: time to do both. Here makes things a little tougher.
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore gives them a full letter grade upgrade off
Speaker 1: of what I would have given them. I give them
Speaker 1: a C combined. Okay, I would. I would too, because
Speaker 1: I think, I mean, what they've had to deal with upfront. Still,
Speaker 1: with the numbers they've put up, I know it hasn't
Speaker 1: led to winning. Some of their biggest problems have just
Speaker 1: been not taking care of the ball defensively. There's a
Speaker 1: lot of problems to go around. I think the coaches
Speaker 1: have taken blame for it. Players have said, we got
Speaker 1: to be better with assignments. So it kind of all
Speaker 1: goes together. I think if you average it out, it's
Speaker 1: probably about to see so far. Okay, Mike McCarthy said, look,
Speaker 1: it all falls on me right now, where one in
Speaker 1: three it starts with me. It's true. Yeah, I love that,
Speaker 1: And that's that's just more coaches speak. You know, it's
Speaker 1: my job to get these guys in the right places.
Speaker 1: And look, when you average it out on both sides
Speaker 1: of the ball, and this team isn't gonna get a
Speaker 1: mulligan for the climate that we're in with the pandemic
Speaker 1: or any of that, because all thirty one other teams,
Speaker 1: all thirty two teams are dealing with the same thing.
Speaker 1: But I think a lot of that has to do
Speaker 1: with the execution of the scheme. Defensively, we're just not
Speaker 1: able to execute the scheme. That's just it, all right. Offensively,
Speaker 1: that looks to be some continuity, especially with the way
Speaker 1: that Dak is able to leave these drives and those
Speaker 1: come from behind efforts. But you know, look, you just
Speaker 1: get a smelly sticker for doing that, especially if you
Speaker 1: don't win the game. And I'm trying to be positive here,
Speaker 1: but I'm just saying one thing just kind of takes
Speaker 1: out the other. So y'all, y'all crack me up, man.
Speaker 1: Look like my whole what I'm saying is I hate
Speaker 1: the banana sit and I hate I love that. I
Speaker 1: love the roof bear sit. So it was a great
Speaker 1: pay Like It's just one of those things where one
Speaker 1: of the one of the things that we have to
Speaker 1: correct as a team is just our execution offensively. If
Speaker 1: we cut down on the turnovers, obviously, that's gonna help Scott.
Speaker 1: Come on, God, I know, no, I just want to say,
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety two was the last time I heard a
Speaker 1: street Fighter reference. Nineteen ninety two was also the last
Speaker 1: time I thought about yeahs, I'm gonna have to go
Speaker 1: to hobby lobby this week and get something I don't
Speaker 1: walking out street them. He's got it on. We go
Speaker 1: from honey Chris baffles to rounding out our grading segment
Speaker 1: with scratching sniffs to stickers. Yeah, and it's been I
Speaker 1: can't have no room in today at this It's been

Speaker 1: least we're having fun hero talking Cowboys. Hopefully the second
Speaker 1: quarter will be much better and our grades will improve
Speaker 1: across the board. We'll get to that whenever Week eight
Speaker 1: comes to a close. But when we come back, we've
Speaker 1: got week five to talk about. We've got four games

Speaker 1: United and guys, we were now to the end of
Speaker 1: the week. Of course, every Friday at this time we
Speaker 1: predict four games. We predict three games throughout the regular
Speaker 1: NFL schedule, including the Sunday night game, the Monday night game,
Speaker 1: and then an insert getting name or a game here.
Speaker 1: And then we've capped things off on the week with
Speaker 1: the Cowboys game, and we've got we've got some standings
Speaker 1: to update. And mister Rob Phillips had himself a week
Speaker 1: last week. He went three and one and has now
Speaker 1: taken a sole advantage of the standings lead five and two.
Speaker 1: A week ago, both Hecmah and Isaiah went two and
Speaker 1: two and even five hundred, so that puts Isaiah at
Speaker 1: four and three, squarely in second place. Heckma, after a
Speaker 1: slow start one and two, is back to three and
Speaker 1: four and I went one in three last week. I
Speaker 1: did not have a week. Yeah, and uh so I'm
Speaker 1: at So we're all separated by two games. At the moment,
Speaker 1: Rob has the lead, which means he gets to go first.
Speaker 1: He's at five and two, And we're gonna start with
Speaker 1: the Colts and those now hated Cleveland Browns. Both teams
Speaker 1: at three and one. The Colts have allowed less than
Speaker 1: twelve points in three straight games. That defense is firing
Speaker 1: on all cylinders, both teams at three and one. Rob
Speaker 1: who you got in that one? Oh? No, Nick Chubb? Right? No, Nick?
Speaker 1: A little bit. For Cleveland, I'll roll with Philip Rivers.
Speaker 1: It's the advantage at quarterback. Despite what we saw from
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield last week, I think the Browns luck for
Speaker 1: now runs out with a Colts victory. Okay, this is
Speaker 1: in Cleveland, by the way, and also for the fans
Speaker 1: watching on periscope, send in your picks as well throughout
Speaker 1: the course of the segment. All Right, heckma, who you got? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's gonna be a tough matchup. Man, the Cleveland Browns.
Speaker 1: They left here the neighborhood hero. Everybody's talking about Stefanski
Speaker 1: and all the great work that he's doing with the
Speaker 1: offensive line in Callahan, and but I think they run
Speaker 1: into a bus. All that Indianapolis defense is for real,
Speaker 1: and you know, hopefully my guy Philip Rivers isn't going
Speaker 1: to turn over the ball and give them the opportunities
Speaker 1: that we did. So I'm going to Indie is zam Hey.
Speaker 1: My mascot, my mascot of high school as a dog
Speaker 1: mascot in college was a dog. So I'm going with
Speaker 1: them dogs this weekend. I'm gonna ahead and go with Cleveland. Wow. Okay,
Speaker 1: so you're going with Cleveland, I'm gonna go with Indianapolis here.
Speaker 1: Top three offensive line, top three defense. I think they
Speaker 1: get the job done, even with Philip Rivers. Maybe gonna
Speaker 1: give an opportunity here and there to the Cleveland Browns.
Speaker 1: I think this will be a great game and it's
Speaker 1: one that I know I'll be watching kind of alongside
Speaker 1: the Cowboys game on Sunday. Okay, here we go Sunday
Speaker 1: Night football. The Vikings, who desperately need a win at
Speaker 1: one in three, going up against Russell Wilson and a
Speaker 1: four and oh Seattle Seahawks team, by the way, Russell
Speaker 1: Wilson six and oh career against Minnesota. I think they
Speaker 1: make it seven and oh, and I'm picking Seattle to win. Isaiah,
Speaker 1: who you got Seattle? That's easy boys, Yeah, easy win
Speaker 1: for him? All right, Hackma, I'm gonna I'm yeah, definitely Seattle. ROBERTA, Yep,
Speaker 1: we'll make it a clean sweep. If it's Russ, if
Speaker 1: it's Tom Brady, if it's Pat Mahomes, if it's Aaron Rodgers,
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, I'm probably gonna take their team. And if
Speaker 1: I'm wrong, I'm wrong. Seattle wins. It's weird how there
Speaker 1: was no Kirk Cousins on that list that you just mentioned.
Speaker 1: I'm sure, I don't know. I've just wanted to mention that.
Speaker 1: By the way, the Cowboys not the only team with
Speaker 1: some disappointing starts to the season. Because the Vikings one
Speaker 1: and three, they could very easily be one and four
Speaker 1: by the time by the time that the weekend's over. Okay,
Speaker 1: another one and three team, the Los Angeles Chargers, going
Speaker 1: up against the Saints back at the Superdome, and just
Speaker 1: a reminder, the Chargers starting to find a little bit
Speaker 1: of rhythm here. They've had a tough schedule to start
Speaker 1: the season as well. Now they've got Justin Herbert as
Speaker 1: the full time starter at quarterback in New Orleans. Four
Speaker 1: of their last five games against the Chargers have resulted
Speaker 1: in a win. Rob, Who you got in this one? Oh?
Speaker 1: I got a side with experience. Go with Drew Brees.
Speaker 1: Herbert's got a lot of talent, but there he's gonna
Speaker 1: have some growing pains, I feel like, and the Dome's
Speaker 1: not gonna have the dome type environment. But I'll still
Speaker 1: take the Saints at home. I'm gonna Saints at home.
Speaker 1: Two guys make it easy, okay, saying say, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go to New Orleans across the board since we had
Speaker 1: two games that were clean sweeps, I'm gonna throw a
Speaker 1: bonus in there, and hopefully this game gets played, because
Speaker 1: we're really we want everybody to stay healthy and stay
Speaker 1: careful in this. But I do want to do this
Speaker 1: as an extra game on top, just in case it
Speaker 1: is played, because I think it's gonna be a fantastic
Speaker 1: one if it is. Ryan Tannehill and the Tennessee Titans
Speaker 1: up against the Buffalo Bills, both teams undefeated. The Titans,
Speaker 1: of course, having their game postpone last week against Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1: Now they have a matchup with the Bills. If this
Speaker 1: game gets played, I'm gonna take the Bills on the
Speaker 1: road against Tennessee to take down the Titans and move
Speaker 1: to five. And oh, I think the Bills Mafia is
Speaker 1: the real deal in this one. But this is gonna
Speaker 1: be a good game. Isaiah. Let the Buffalo roan. I'm
Speaker 1: all about them Bills. They're they're really good team. Nema M.
Speaker 1: I gotta get some separation here, so I'm gonna go.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Tennessee. I'm gonna go Tennessee. My mind
Speaker 1: sets one thing, but I know I gotta I gotta
Speaker 1: get some separations, So I'm going Titans on this one.
Speaker 1: I gotta go with the Bills. There's too much going
Speaker 1: on with the Titans right now, and I hope they
Speaker 1: can get it all corrected and everybody's okay. But I
Speaker 1: gotta go with Buffalo. They're rolling right now. Thoughts and
Speaker 1: prayers with that organization, not only with the players, but
Speaker 1: even the personnel who had tested positive for COVID nineteen
Speaker 1: and hopefully that situation gets under raps pretty quickly and
Speaker 1: they everybody can stay safe. Now onto the big one.
Speaker 1: We've got about two and a half minutes left. Cowboys, Giants,
Speaker 1: the return of Jay Geez back to AT and T Stadium.
Speaker 1: You've got the Cowboys looking to get back on track
Speaker 1: at one and three, and then really just trying to
Speaker 1: get on the track for the Giants as they come
Speaker 1: in at oh and four, needing Joe Judge his first
Speaker 1: win of his New York Giants tenure. I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: first on this one. I'll make it easy on everybody
Speaker 1: once again. I had the fake out the first couple
Speaker 1: of weeks. I'm not doing any fake out. I think
Speaker 1: the Cowboys take care of business here. I think it
Speaker 1: might be a little bit closer early on first three quarters.
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a nerve racking first three quarters.
Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys stick with a lead though a
Speaker 1: short one, and then they pull away late to get
Speaker 1: their second win of the year. You get back to
Speaker 1: two and three and then have a long week ahead
Speaker 1: to where you can maybe take advantage of the Arizona
Speaker 1: Cardinals coming up on Monday Night football. But I think
Speaker 1: the Cowboys here in Week five get a win. They
Speaker 1: get back to two and three and take down the
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett offensively led Giants on the other side. Rob
Speaker 1: any any score projections, I'll do a score thirty four
Speaker 1: twenty seven, Oh, no, thirty four, twenty four, twenty four,
Speaker 1: let twenty four, twenty four, Yeah, thirty four twenty four
Speaker 1: ten points win. I got all right, I got about
Speaker 1: a ten point win. Two, I'll go thirty twenty one
Speaker 1: Cowboys nine point win. I think it comes down to
Speaker 1: chunk plays for me. Can the Giants get anything going
Speaker 1: down the field to give them put themselves in scoring
Speaker 1: position because they have their their explosive plays are very
Speaker 1: very low and the Cowboys have the ability to do
Speaker 1: that on any given play. I think that that that
Speaker 1: leads to more wins than anything, if you can take
Speaker 1: care of the ball. And so I think, you know,
Speaker 1: the Cowboys just more explosive offensively, they're gonna win this game.
Speaker 1: Heck yep, And oh are you going? You going? Me
Speaker 1: can go? He was, he was ready to go. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I just got Cowboys forty two seventeen. Whoa, Okay, So
Speaker 1: you think it's not even close? Yeah? Is this? If
Speaker 1: this is close, then we have bigger problems than we
Speaker 1: Then we think the defense is averaging giving up what
Speaker 1: thirty eight points in the last three games, that doesn't
Speaker 1: look good. Yeah. If everybody in the national media laughing
Speaker 1: at you, you know, questioning whether you have the heart
Speaker 1: to play this game, the defense has to stand up.
Speaker 1: They have to get it together offensively, just don't turn
Speaker 1: the ball over and be smart. The New York Giants
Speaker 1: having scored a touchdown since Week two, I don't expect
Speaker 1: for them to get in rhythm here in at and
Speaker 1: T Stadium, at least I hope they don't. So I'm
Speaker 1: predicting the score somewhere around the twenty eight to thirteen.
Speaker 1: But I believe that this is an easy win for
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys. That's true. I think it will be
Speaker 1: a lower scoring game than than really even we anticipated.
Speaker 1: I think twenty eight thirteen might be the closest thing
Speaker 1: that we see to the final score because this defense
Speaker 1: for the Giants pretty stout. They play together, they play fast,
Speaker 1: they play aggressive. The offense of the Cowboys, we know
Speaker 1: what they bring to the table. I think it'll kind
Speaker 1: of stifle each other out. But ultimately I think Cowboys
Speaker 1: are a better team, and then so does everybody. As
Speaker 1: we go across the board picking Dallas on Sunday once
Speaker 1: again that one on CBS, Jim Nance and our boy
Speaker 1: Tony Romo on the call of that one. Hope you'll
Speaker 1: join us on Monday at nine thirty, win or lose,
Speaker 1: we'll break it all down for you. We'll party together
Speaker 1: if it's a win, or we'll really be talking about
Speaker 1: hitting that panic button come Monday morning. If it's a
Speaker 1: one in four start for the Cowboys, however, that's gonna
Speaker 1: do it here this week for Talking Cowboys. Glad you've
Speaker 1: been with us over the last five day special thanks
Speaker 1: to Chris Beam in the Bank special, thanks to Isaiah Stanback,
Speaker 1: Rob Phillips, and heck My Harrison. I'm Kyle Yeoman saying
Speaker 1: so long from the start in Frisco. Thanks for listening
Speaker 1: to Talking Cowboys. This has been a production of Dallas
Speaker 1: Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
