Welcome 0:00:35.560 --> 0:00:38.640 to the Players Lounge, where we have three former NFL 0:00:38.680 --> 0:00:42.640 players dissecting what the Cowboys do each in every week 0:00:42.720 --> 0:00:45.599 and other things around the National Football League. You have 0:00:45.640 --> 0:00:53.920 Anthony Dorseet, got Trey More and the Dallas Cowboys get 0:00:54.000 --> 0:01:00.680 a victory thirty seven to twenty two in the Meadowlands. 0:01:00.760 --> 0:01:02.880 So the Jets. 0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:06.360 Remained winless, the Cowboys with a lot of positives. 0:01:06.360 --> 0:01:06.640 Here. 0:01:07.000 --> 0:01:09.240 I'll go back to the YETI cool customers that we 0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:13.200 had on Friday. You said the DB's door set needed 0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:15.840 to look good. Trey, you said it was the defensive line. 0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:18.920 I went with the offensive line. And we can look 0:01:18.959 --> 0:01:22.119 at all three places and say they did their jobs. 0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:24.600 They were all cool customers there doing their jobs and 0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:27.840 getting the Dallas Cowboys the victory they needed. Let's just 0:01:27.840 --> 0:01:30.280 go right around the table. Start with your church. When 0:01:30.319 --> 0:01:31.919 you look at this victory, what stands out. 0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:32.520 For you for me? 0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:36.160 Like, like you just talked about the trenches Dallas Cowboys 0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:40.480 one in both both sides defensively, offensively, and what's. 0:01:40.319 --> 0:01:41.720 Impressive on the offensive side. 0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:44.880 I mean you missing Tyler Booker, You're missing bb I 0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:47.920 mean Guidon was out there. It wasn't out there, So 0:01:48.120 --> 0:01:50.040 you missing a lot of your starters on that offsive 0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:52.400 line and they only gave up one sack and you're 0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:55.320 going against, you know, an all decade type player and 0:01:55.600 --> 0:01:58.160 Quinn Williams on the other side. I mean, there's there's 0:01:58.160 --> 0:02:00.000 no scrubs over there on that on that Jets defense 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:03.280 of line, and they got handled a boy the makeshift 0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:04.560 line for the Dallas Cowboys. 0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:05.520 And on the other. 0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:08.680 Side defensively, that d Lion they did they thing once again. 0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:10.840 This is two games back to back where the pressure 0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:13.440 is starting to mount up for that defensive line. James 0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:15.440 Houston playing well in his spots that he gets an 0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:17.960 opportunity in. You love what Solomon Thomas was able to 0:02:17.960 --> 0:02:20.600 do out there in the defensive tackle position. So I 0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:23.000 love to see that pressure because it makes things easier 0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:24.640 for guys on the back end. As you saw, those 0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:28.560 explosive plays did not happen. But to me, once again, man, 0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:33.200 this goes down to Schottenheimer and the relationship with him 0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:37.000 and Dak Prescott. When he's calling those plays and Dak's 0:02:37.040 --> 0:02:39.600 executing the way he is, he's like an extension of 0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:41.680 the coaching staff out there on the football field when 0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:43.800 you look at it. I mean, no matter what the 0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:46.560 Jets threw at him, and including Green Bay last week, 0:02:46.880 --> 0:02:50.040 zone man blitz, it doesn't matter. Dak had the answer 0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:53.080 for pretty much everything out there, and he's protecting the football. 0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:56.120 Four touchdowns to just zero interceptions out there. The man 0:02:56.240 --> 0:02:59.480 is playing out of control. And last week he hit 0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:02.440 eightferent receivers out there, eight different receivers kind of passed 0:03:02.440 --> 0:03:03.239 Fromdak Prescott. 0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:05.679 This week, six different receivers flow noid. 0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:08.160 A guy that you know was on a practice, got 0:03:08.200 --> 0:03:12.000 this guy out there looking outrageous. So to me, Dak 0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:15.480 is putting his team on his back once again. Defense 0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:17.880 is starting to come along. But to me, the story 0:03:17.919 --> 0:03:21.400 is the trenches and then that marriage between Dak and Schottenheimer. 0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:22.959 I mean, it's really floorishing right now. 0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:23.360 Tray. 0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:26.000 Oh, for me, I think it goes to the D line. 0:03:26.560 --> 0:03:29.800 We talked about it all last week. I kept saying, Hey, 0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:32.960 their depth is being shown right now that they are 0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:37.080 holding up, like Barry said, going in doing what they do. 0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:40.800 But for us to be so critical, We've been talking 0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:43.400 about this D line the whole time, like this is 0:03:43.400 --> 0:03:45.840 what we need, this is what you need, Like they 0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:46.840 finally shown up. 0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:48.640 Houston is doing what he's supposed to do. 0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:51.920 He's actually doing above what he's supposed to do right now, 0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:54.480 and heating of the way that he's heating up. 0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:57.880 You have Kenny that Kenny's making. 0:03:57.760 --> 0:04:01.080 Jerry Wright like he's proven that he is that guy 0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:06.680 to where you're starting to see consistent Osa's playing up that. 0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:09.320 This last game that we just watched, Osa played up 0:04:09.360 --> 0:04:12.360 to that contract extension. He played up to every form 0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:14.840 and bit of it, to where like this game, just 0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:17.680 watching it, I was like, Okay, now you're starting to 0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:22.480 see a defense paralys But with seeing that, I'm also 0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:26.520 I don't want to get too excited. It's the Jets. 0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:29.720 It's a zero to fourteen that we're talking about, Like 0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:32.920 you're so you're supposed to knock out the ones that 0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:34.839 you get in front of you, and nothing is easy 0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:37.599 on the Sunday, but like I'm onto the next week, 0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:41.160 like can we see this from a actual great opponent, 0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:42.640 And so that's what makes me nervous. 0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:45.039 Yeah, for me, it was a little bit of everything 0:04:45.120 --> 0:04:45.360 like that. 0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:49.000 I feel like the Cowboys actually played against the team 0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:51.440 that they were supposed to play in the way they 0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:54.320 played against this team. They didn't play down to the 0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:56.960 Jets standards or anything else like that. The Cowboys actually 0:04:57.160 --> 0:04:58.880 kept the kept the I guess you could say their 0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:01.120 foot on the gas pedal through the whole game on 0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:03.440 both sides of the game. Like you mentioned the pressure 0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:06.280 coming from the defensive line, we saw more pressure yesterday 0:05:06.320 --> 0:05:09.440 than we have seen all season, you know what I mean. Then, also, 0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:12.040 the run game is doing well too as far as 0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:15.040 stopping the run. Then we talked about what we talked about. 0:05:15.040 --> 0:05:17.080 He communication has to get better in the back end. 0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:19.240 We have to stop these big plays from being able 0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:22.320 to happen. Unfortunately, yesterday that wasn't the issue. You know, 0:05:22.400 --> 0:05:24.440 they had some long run plays and then at the 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:26.240 end of those run plays there was some fumbles, so 0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:29.239 that the explosive plays that could have been explosive didn't 0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:31.080 turn out to be as explosive as they as they 0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:33.640 normally whatever, and just like you said, man, like if 0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:36.760 we was to break this season down into quarters right now, 0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:41.480 Dak is the MVP quarterback right now this league as 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:43.720 far as in this first quarter you find somebody else 0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:47.599 that's is playing as good as he has and as. 0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:49.080 He keeps doing so far this year. 0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:51.839 And then like we talked about, just the depth, you know, 0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:53.480 I mean, come on, man, that is. 0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:55.600 The biggest thing when you sit there and say you 0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:58.080 think about your superstars in the league, like guys like 0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:00.360 you can have guys that go be a super star 0:06:00.440 --> 0:06:03.000 within the arm right, but I'm sorry, be a star. 0:06:03.400 --> 0:06:07.119 Superstars they make everybody around them better. And to see 0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:10.159 this old line flourishing in the way that they are, 0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:13.400 some of these guys only, if I'm not mistaken, Brocket 0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:15.880 is the only one that had started potential. Some of 0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:18.159 these other offensive linement didn't have it, Like you said, 0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:21.360 a receiver Flainoy going out there and having a career day. 0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:24.960 Dak is really playing out of his mind. But he's 0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:27.719 also getting a lot of these other guys. Hey, George 0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:30.919 Picking is having a resurgent. Javonte is over there looking 0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:34.200 like how he was before his injury, like he is 0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:37.200 elevating that. So I will say one we got to 0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:39.640 eat the bullet and everybody that was talking about, oh, Dak, 0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:42.560 isn't that guy like he's showing you he's a top three, 0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:44.880 if not the top quarterback right now in this first 0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:45.720 quarter of the season. 0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:51.839 Mike McCarthy probably should have been replaced after that Green 0:06:51.839 --> 0:06:54.560 Bay loss, considering that Jerry was not going to extend it. 0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:56.400 If you're going to do in the way you did 0:06:56.400 --> 0:07:00.240 that whole last year was not good at all. Makes 0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:03.599 the change. Brian Schottenheimer gets a job and I asked 0:07:03.680 --> 0:07:06.280 Jerry specifically, Jerry, what is it you're seeing in him 0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:09.040 that nobody else has seen, because nobody else has even, 0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:11.040 you know, talk to him about a head coaching job 0:07:11.040 --> 0:07:12.480 in three years. And he said, you know what, it's 0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:15.680 been through the trenches. He's had his nose bloody. Brian 0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:19.360 Schottenheimer deserves a lot of credit for the victory and 0:07:19.440 --> 0:07:22.000 the fact that this coaching staff, the people that he's 0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:24.760 brought in. You talk about Ryan Flinoy going out and 0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:26.840 having a fantastic day, go back to junior Adams of 0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:30.160 wide receivers coach. I mean we saw Jalen Tolbert making 0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:32.000 some great plays the week before here, and there been 0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:34.840 times we are on this show have questioned, what are 0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:37.760 you getting out of Jalen Tolbert? Is he improving the 0:07:37.800 --> 0:07:41.840 new receivers? Coach is coached these guys up. George Pickens 0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:47.000 is playing fantastic football, and I dare say he's giving 0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:49.560 more to the Cowboys than what you saw him giving 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:53.600 in Pittsburgh. He is a weapon out there. I mean 0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:55.760 even just throw the ball over there to his way. 0:07:55.800 --> 0:07:57.640 You don't know what can have that touchdown passed? I 0:07:57.640 --> 0:07:59.600 mean I touchdown catch against saus Gardner. You guys are 0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:02.760 all did you tutor dB? That was some hand fighting. 0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:05.120 That was a hard. 0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:08.400 That was a hard That was a hard catch. 0:08:08.680 --> 0:08:13.720 Just one of the top dv's in the league. 0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:16.120 He's a top five quarters, there's no doubt. Rank whatever 0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:17.800 you want to, but he's gonna be in your top five. 0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:20.080 And for George Pickens to you know kind of that 0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:23.560 thing all right, you know what, Hey, it's Dak's not 0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:26.880 throwing it here, He's kind of waiting. Bam, you got him. 0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:28.400 You know, when you need to have it, he had 0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:31.600 it and that's sensational. I go back to Junior Adams, 0:08:31.600 --> 0:08:34.560 the wide receivers coach Shottheimer calling the places. He's a 0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:39.880 fantastic play caller, and the Yetti cool customers that said 0:08:39.920 --> 0:08:41.720 had to be the offensive line, and we talked about it. 0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:43.520 We weren't sure, but you go out there game day 0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:46.400 on Friday, we found out Tyler got in the left 0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:48.160 tackle was not going to be there been on game 0:08:48.240 --> 0:08:51.920 day Tyler Smith active, but they did not start. So 0:08:51.960 --> 0:08:56.160 you're talking for starting offensive linemen not there. 0:08:56.320 --> 0:08:59.320 Kudos to that room man that that that goes, you know, 0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:01.960 beyond any thing. You could bring a bunch of guys together, 0:09:02.040 --> 0:09:03.760 but you know, to be able to get all those 0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:06.040 guys from first, second and third team to be able 0:09:06.040 --> 0:09:08.760 to play like that, that offensive line room is a 0:09:08.760 --> 0:09:11.680 powerful room in his building. 0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:12.400 And had to bring in the fifth one had to 0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:15.120 bring to play in the game. And so here's Javonte 0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:18.840 Williams with a career hot one hundred and thirty five yards, 0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:21.040 one hundred and thirty five yards in the game and 0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:24.800 two touchdowns on sixteen carries. That offensive line. And when 0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:26.679 we talk about Dak and everything he was doing, and 0:09:26.760 --> 0:09:29.920 I mentioned it to you before last week, if he 0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:34.280 doesn't have some time, then it doesn't matter. Okay, the best, 0:09:34.320 --> 0:09:36.640 the best in the world can't do anything if they're 0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:39.840 not being protected up front. And so Clayton Adams the 0:09:39.840 --> 0:09:42.240 offensive line coach, and Connor Riley, I mean Clayton at 0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:45.800 the OC and then Connor Riley offensive line coach, they 0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:48.680 must be given credit that they got it done. And 0:09:48.720 --> 0:09:51.080 apparently Dak spoke to guys this week saying, hey, look, 0:09:51.120 --> 0:09:54.800 you know, I'm a prime example of be ready, really 0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:56.880 be ready. You don't know when it's going to be 0:09:56.920 --> 0:10:00.400 your opportunities and that you're here, you're here for reason, 0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:02.840 be ready to take advantage of it. So to me, 0:10:03.240 --> 0:10:07.679 I don't. I know. It's the Jets. That's fine, winless team, 0:10:07.760 --> 0:10:13.800 but did we look around the league yesterday? 0:10:11.960 --> 0:10:14.560 Winless? 0:10:14.600 --> 0:10:18.479 And then next thing you know, boy Decremato running. 0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:18.920 To the end zone. 0:10:19.120 --> 0:10:21.400 Some people say enough is enough. 0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:22.520 Drop the ball. 0:10:23.000 --> 0:10:26.360 Difference in the game. That's the that touchdown that he 0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:28.840 didn't just like the Coats game the week before. That 0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:32.000 was the difference in the football game. And so here 0:10:32.000 --> 0:10:35.280 comes a winless Titans team that goes to Arizona and 0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:41.720 gets a win, go to Philadelphia, they go get a 0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:43.319 win the Patriots. 0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:48.600 Patriots on Sunday night football in Buffalo in Buffalo get. 0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:51.000 Themselves a win. The Giants who beat the Chargers a 0:10:51.000 --> 0:10:53.080 week before. We're thinking that's a solid win. They go 0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:59.959 to New Orleans and New Orleans handles them. Our boy 0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:04.320 coach soul in Miami got it. Charlotte, the Panthers come 0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:06.800 from behind. So when people say it's just the Jets, 0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:09.839 I'll come back and tell you go look around the league. There, 0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:11.960 you guys all ball three you play, there's no easy ones. 0:11:13.040 --> 0:11:13.600 You look at it. 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:16.920 When you look at it to what Schottenheimer's doing, it's 0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:19.520 just a definition of guys buying in in that locker room. 0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:21.520 I mean, there's plenty of examples out there. From George 0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:24.120 Pickens having that slow first half. You know, he could 0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:25.400 have been out there pout and he could have been 0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:27.439 on the sidelines reading books and saying, man. 0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:28.240 You don't get me the ball. 0:11:28.559 --> 0:11:31.600 No, he was patient time and was like, you know what, 0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:33.400 I'm gonna get my touchdown when it comes to me. 0:11:33.760 --> 0:11:36.520 Then you look at the depth when blocking. When you 0:11:36.520 --> 0:11:38.400 come to these running backs. I saw Blue that the 0:11:38.480 --> 0:11:40.480 young cat, the fifth round pick I believe from Texas, 0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:42.439 and he didn't get a lot of running options. 0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:42.640 Ian. 0:11:42.640 --> 0:11:45.280 He wasn't you know, jumped off the stat sheet. But 0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:46.120 there was a. 0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:49.200 Down where big old linebatter coming a gap and he 0:11:49.240 --> 0:11:50.599 had to meet him in the hole. He could have, 0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:52.440 you know, said I didn't get or went and chopped 0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:54.559 them low. He met that man right under the chin. 0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:57.200 That to me is wanting to run through a brick 0:11:57.240 --> 0:11:58.559 wall for your coach out there. 0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:01.079 Knowing that, Hey, I believe what he got going on. 0:12:01.320 --> 0:12:03.240 And you know what, as a players, as unit, we're 0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:04.800 gonna believe in this guy, and we're gonna go put 0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:05.000 it on. 0:12:05.000 --> 0:12:05.720 The football field. 0:12:05.880 --> 0:12:08.680 You just see these guys buying into what Schottenheimer's putting 0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:10.560 out there week in and week out. There were so 0:12:10.600 --> 0:12:14.040 many we've been here through all these slow starts, playoffs, 0:12:14.360 --> 0:12:17.040 you know, primetime games, whatever the case may be. Dallas 0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:19.199 playing down to the level of competition. 0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:21.800 Is what it was. 0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:25.359 But these guys, man, they're really buying into what Shoenheimer 0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:26.079 is putting out there. 0:12:26.080 --> 0:12:29.120 Man, once again, I'm gonna say this, and I'm piggybacking 0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:31.880 off of what Trey said too as well. Now, mind you, 0:12:31.920 --> 0:12:34.800 it is the Jets, okay, it is the Jets. And 0:12:34.840 --> 0:12:37.120 the Cowboys handled up the way they were supposed to 0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:40.920 handle up against the Jets. Now breaking everything down like 0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:43.959 you were just talking about, man, that that run game. Okay, Now, 0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:46.440 if we can continue, if the Cowboys can continue to 0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:49.080 do what they're doing offense right with with with Ceedee 0:12:49.120 --> 0:12:51.400 Lamb not being there, with this offensive line being the 0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:54.800 mismatch put together offensive line every week, okay, then you 0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:57.080 get these guys coming back healthy, you get CD back 0:12:57.120 --> 0:13:00.920 in the fold. Right, defense is able to sustain or 0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:02.880 keep playing in the and the and the way that 0:13:02.920 --> 0:13:05.640 they played a little bit yesterday, you know, because we 0:13:06.280 --> 0:13:08.280 saw some good players out there yesterday from the d 0:13:08.400 --> 0:13:11.920 line and from the secondary. Now this all starts keeping 0:13:11.960 --> 0:13:15.040 it keeps coming together over these next few weeks. And 0:13:15.120 --> 0:13:17.280 the second part we already knowed that tail end of 0:13:17.320 --> 0:13:20.680 that season is gonna get tough. Cowboys gonna be primed 0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:23.240 to some to do some damage later on the season 0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:25.160 if they keep this thing going on, right, Well, let's. 0:13:25.000 --> 0:13:29.920 Get our first break in here when we come back. 0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:34.280 One player that I had questions based off what he 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:37.600 did last year and the subpar season, the player had 0:13:37.640 --> 0:13:41.560 admitted the player he wasn't very good.

Game of the Dallas Cowboys coming off 0:16:31.000 --> 0:16:33.080 a victory over the New York Jets thirty seven to 0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:36.000 twenty two score really not as close as it looks. 0:16:36.080 --> 0:16:38.760 Right there, got Barry Church, former player, trade more former 0:16:38.760 --> 0:16:43.520 player and he was that former player. Jake Ferguson got 0:16:43.520 --> 0:16:45.920 a contract extension of the offseason. I was sitting to 0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:47.920 myself saying, and I said on the show, is that 0:16:48.000 --> 0:16:51.760 the wise thing to do? Because he came off of 0:16:51.760 --> 0:16:53.480 a year where he can scored one touchdown? 0:16:54.080 --> 0:16:54.480 Not one? 0:16:54.520 --> 0:16:56.320 I mean, how many folks go out here and they 0:16:56.400 --> 0:16:57.760 just say, hey man, let's re up you and you 0:16:58.640 --> 0:17:01.160 do anything in watch the way you were expected to 0:17:01.200 --> 0:17:03.520 do it. When the Cowboys ended up having a bad 0:17:03.560 --> 0:17:06.000 season when the coach got fired. You can look at 0:17:06.040 --> 0:17:08.480 Jake Ferguson's and point to and say you're one of 0:17:08.520 --> 0:17:10.640 the guys who did not do their job last year. 0:17:10.800 --> 0:17:11.400 That is fact. 0:17:11.760 --> 0:17:13.720 He said he would be better and so far, Jake 0:17:13.760 --> 0:17:15.679 Ferguson is not just talking about it, he's about it. 0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:18.919 He finished with seven receptions yesterday for forty nine yards, 0:17:19.840 --> 0:17:21.960 and he had had a touchdown, had two touchdowns. His 0:17:22.040 --> 0:17:24.399 forty one receptions this year are tied for the most 0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:26.320 by a tight end through the first five games of 0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:29.800 a season in FL history. Eric Johnson did it oh 0:17:29.880 --> 0:17:32.879 fours that Ertz did in twenty eighteen, his first career 0:17:32.960 --> 0:17:36.240 game with multiple touchdown receptions. The longest touchdown reception in 0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:39.480 his career halfen in the second quarter of twenty six yards. 0:17:39.800 --> 0:17:42.399 Jake has caught at least five passes in each of 0:17:42.480 --> 0:17:44.760 the first five games, and the only other Cowboy to 0:17:44.800 --> 0:17:47.040 ever do this was Jason Whitten, who did it back 0:17:47.119 --> 0:17:48.280 in two thousand and eight. 0:17:49.680 --> 0:17:53.280 That is a good company. That is doing your job. 0:17:53.840 --> 0:17:57.880 And you could say the first game in Philadelphia should 0:17:57.920 --> 0:17:59.879 have had that one touchdown going down the scene when 0:17:59.880 --> 0:18:01.679 he said he should have had it, and then earlier 0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:04.040 in yesterday's game it looked like he almost had one two. 0:18:04.119 --> 0:18:08.080 So Ferguson is in the right place, clearly has the 0:18:09.920 --> 0:18:14.760 trust of the quarterback, and Brian Schottenheimer is utilizing the 0:18:14.800 --> 0:18:16.600 tight end. And this is where I go back and say, 0:18:16.600 --> 0:18:18.440 we gotta give him Shoty credit. Shoty said, we want 0:18:18.440 --> 0:18:21.680 to run the ball. Running the ball allows tight ends. 0:18:21.880 --> 0:18:25.280 And you guys, you know the safety allows the tight end. 0:18:25.440 --> 0:18:28.000 You play safety two allows it allows your guy to 0:18:28.000 --> 0:18:30.800 get ready because the one touchdown the right there near 0:18:30.840 --> 0:18:34.080 the goal line, he just acts like he's blocking slipped 0:18:34.119 --> 0:18:38.119 out there wide. So this goes back to Schottenheimer and 0:18:38.160 --> 0:18:41.040 his ability to run where you have to sit around 0:18:41.040 --> 0:18:43.119 here and worry about the play action pass because Jonte's 0:18:43.240 --> 0:18:44.120 jamontes out. 0:18:44.040 --> 0:18:44.520 Of killing it. 0:18:44.720 --> 0:18:49.399 And I was sixteen carries eight point four yards running 0:18:49.440 --> 0:18:51.440 behind his paths all the time, you know, like and 0:18:51.560 --> 0:18:53.800 and I'm not trying to be nitpicky or anything, but 0:18:53.840 --> 0:18:57.000 these boys got to get some they get these breakout runs. 0:18:57.000 --> 0:18:59.400 They need to finish down. 0:18:59.640 --> 0:19:02.000 Man, go ahead and go the quick tripe gonna get 0:19:02.040 --> 0:19:02.800 you some some more. 0:19:03.480 --> 0:19:04.920 You gotta go ahead and take you to the house. 0:19:04.960 --> 0:19:07.280 But he was positives and making it. 0:19:08.200 --> 0:19:08.880 Taking a chunk. 0:19:09.359 --> 0:19:10.679 You know what I mean. I go at the last year. 0:19:10.720 --> 0:19:12.200 We didn't even see that exactly. 0:19:13.359 --> 0:19:14.160
