Speaker 1: and Kyle Yeomans.
Speaker 5: Dallas Cowboy.
Speaker 6: It took everything they had, every quarter, every minute, every
Speaker 6: second and SOFI Stadium crucial. But the Dallas Cowboys get
Speaker 6: back into their winning ways with a twenty to seventeen
Speaker 6: win in Week six over the Los Angeles Chargers, and
Speaker 6: they put the bye week on tap on a high
Speaker 6: note with a four and two record. Hello, everybody, welcome
Speaker 6: into Talking Cowboys here on a victory Tuesday from the
Speaker 6: Star in Frisco, alongside Nick Harris, Isaiah Standback, We've got
Speaker 6: Chris Beam in the back of Kyle Yeomans. Gentlemen, how
Speaker 6: we do it?
Speaker 7: I'm good, Yeah, it's all good man.
Speaker 6: Did you get some extra sleep last night?
Speaker 8: Sure?
Speaker 7: No, last night night?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 7: Two hours?
Speaker 9: Oh two hours really over under Nick Harris under but yeah,
Speaker 9: I'm glad we're in the same boat.
Speaker 6: What time y'all in?
Speaker 9: We landed at about I think I think it was
Speaker 9: three twenty five whenever the flight attendant set over the
Speaker 9: intercom is when we landed. And then I got home
Speaker 9: around like four four fifteen, and then I just like
Speaker 9: messed around for like an hour, like you know, started
Speaker 9: like chopping it up in one of my roommates because
Speaker 9: he was about to go to work, and I was
Speaker 9: just like, man, what am I doing. I need to
Speaker 9: go to sleep. I was show at nine am.
Speaker 2: So this is on me. This is on me right now.
Speaker 2: I'm very tired today. Dedication though, yes, sir, only for
Speaker 2: the brand.
Speaker 7: No hesitation on you calling in to me.
Speaker 9: You know, I had to show some grit, you know,
Speaker 9: because after last night's performance, I'm looking around and I'm seeing,
Speaker 9: you know that the grit that's being shown on the field.
Speaker 9: I was like, you know what, I got to go in.
Speaker 9: I can be ready for talking cowboys. So here we are, maybe.
Speaker 7: Player, That's what I'm talking about, Nick.
Speaker 6: We are the Morning Show, and of course there is
Speaker 6: always a portion of talking Cowboys. Brought to you by
Speaker 6: Quaker Oats, the super trusted super food. Quaker Oats, the
Speaker 6: official oatmeal sponsor of the Dallas Cowboys. But we had
Speaker 6: plenty of grits last night.
Speaker 7: I see what you do there?
Speaker 6: You see what I did there?
Speaker 7: I sit there.
Speaker 6: I threw the read in there early, just for it
Speaker 6: smart Man, twenty to seventeen. And like Nick said, I
Speaker 6: mean it took sounds from toughness, it took physicality. Yeah,
Speaker 6: it's the same score they beat the Chargers by the
Speaker 6: last time they played at Sofi Stadium back in twenty
Speaker 6: twenty one. In twenty seventeen. In fact, Nick, it was
Speaker 6: interesting at least whenever Isaiah and I were watching this
Speaker 6: on the TV copy back here it was. It was
Speaker 6: intense really from the jump. I mean there was an intensity,
Speaker 6: There was a focus, a laser focus at times, not
Speaker 6: so much at other times throughout the football game. But
Speaker 6: one thing that really stood out to me, it was
Speaker 6: right at the end. It was Mike McCarthy raising his hands.
Speaker 6: It was Dak Prescott looking up to the sky and saying,
Speaker 6: think you, thank you. What did it feel like in
Speaker 6: the locker room? What did it feel like following the game?
Speaker 6: Was it a euphoria? Was there a big celebration or
Speaker 6: was it more so of a chip off the shoulder,
Speaker 6: a chip off the whole block, just to get another
Speaker 6: win and go into the bye week.
Speaker 7: With a hin end.
Speaker 2: Yeah, probably more so the latter. As far as a
Speaker 2: chip off the shoulder, it was more so just a relief.
Speaker 9: Everyone was definitely. I wouldn't say it was euphoric by
Speaker 9: any means. You know, there wasn't you know, Champagne Bottles
Speaker 9: getting popped in for a week six win going into
Speaker 9: the bye, but it was.
Speaker 2: There was some nice joint. One was happy that they
Speaker 2: pulled out with the win.
Speaker 9: There was one distinct conversation that I kind of overheard,
Speaker 9: and I won't say which player this was just because
Speaker 9: of confidentiality, I would assume, but one player was like, man,
Speaker 9: my heels kind of hurting like that as he.
Speaker 2: Was taking off his tape.
Speaker 9: And another player that was in the same position group,
Speaker 9: he's like, you be all right, man, you got the
Speaker 9: buye week to go to.
Speaker 2: Go with it.
Speaker 9: And so everyone everyone's pretty feeling, feeling pretty good. The
Speaker 9: flight home last night, pretty good vibes, much better vibes
Speaker 9: than this time last week when they were coming back
Speaker 9: from San Francisco. But you know, with this team, I
Speaker 9: think resilience was probably the word to use from last night,
Speaker 9: because the game last night started exactly how the San
Speaker 9: Francisco game started.
Speaker 2: On both sides of the ball. It was just flipped.
Speaker 9: It was the defense giving up a touchdown and the
Speaker 9: offense going three and out, and man, when that happened
Speaker 9: last night, we just kind of looked around and were like,
Speaker 9: this is about to happen again, Like there's no way
Speaker 9: this is about to happen again. And then the offense response,
Speaker 9: they get on, they get on the board with a
Speaker 9: touchdown drive.
Speaker 7: It was.
Speaker 9: It was a long, methodical touchdown drive. They got going
Speaker 9: with the run game, they got going with the pass game.
Speaker 9: It was probably was probably the last time we saw
Speaker 9: the on game the entire night. But overall, I feel
Speaker 9: like the offense really found its execution through the past
Speaker 9: game and that's something we've been talking about a lot.
Speaker 9: And Dak had his best game of the season, needed
Speaker 9: to have that against that defense. We talked about how
Speaker 9: there was such a big opportunity there. CD did the
Speaker 9: same exact thing, so really good to see the guys that.
Speaker 2: Needed to get involved get involved.
Speaker 9: And then defensively, you know, even though they only got
Speaker 9: home once on the Michael Parsons sac late in the game,
Speaker 9: they forced so many pressures that it felt like Herbert
Speaker 9: was running out of the pocket every single play. And
Speaker 9: I think I saw a stat last night when the
Speaker 9: Cowboys force more than fifteen pressures on the quarterback since
Speaker 9: dan Quinn has arrived.
Speaker 2: They're seventeen and two.
Speaker 9: So a big time, big time job by the defensive line.
Speaker 9: Even if they only got home once, their impact was
Speaker 9: made much larger. And then how about Stefan Gilmore finishing
Speaker 9: it off? Really really cool to see.
Speaker 7: Are you saying pressures are more important than the sex?
Speaker 6: I seem to know.
Speaker 2: Let's look at three plus sacks are there?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 4: To your point, proud of these guys for bouncing back
Speaker 4: right and remaining resilient. There was a lot of opportunities
Speaker 4: for them to put kind of put their head down
Speaker 4: and say, crap, here we go again.
Speaker 7: They didn't do so.
Speaker 4: And the guys, to your point, the guys that needed
Speaker 4: to step up, the position groups that needed to step
Speaker 4: up in this game did so.
Speaker 7: Dak.
Speaker 4: You know, people can say whatever the heck they want
Speaker 4: to about Dak. We sat here last week and say,
Speaker 4: he's not broken. He just has to do better, right,
Speaker 4: He just has to make better decisions. I feel as
Speaker 4: if he made better decisions. I think that instead of
Speaker 4: forcing the ball and having having turnovers potential interceptions. You know,
Speaker 4: he took the sacks, and sometimes that's a positive play
Speaker 4: versus what the other decision would have resulted in. So
Speaker 4: he has more sacks than when you than you would like. However,
Speaker 4: you didn't have at no point in time, you feel
Speaker 4: like there's every at risk of any interception, So that's
Speaker 4: a positive. So he stepped his game up. He extended
Speaker 4: plays that a lot of quarterbacks would not have been
Speaker 4: able to extend to put you in a position to
Speaker 4: be able to get first downs and actually get some
Speaker 4: first downs. He utilized his legs like people said that
Speaker 4: he needs to do more often, and we know when
Speaker 4: he uses his legs he puts his team in a
Speaker 4: better position offensively. Yeah, Mike McCarthy, great, great job moving
Speaker 4: your playmakers around. You know, this is not this is
Speaker 4: not like a photo before the ball was snapped. You know,
Speaker 4: Ceedee Lamb was moving from the first snap of the game.
Speaker 4: Ceedee Lamb was moving around, Brandon Cooks was moving around.
Speaker 4: You know, there was there was some some some swag
Speaker 4: to the motions.
Speaker 7: You know, there's a little energy in the motions. It was.
Speaker 4: It created matchup nightmares. It created space, it created leverage,
Speaker 4: it created confusion. Right, So moving guys around. We sat
Speaker 4: here and talked about that last week as well, how
Speaker 4: important that is to this offense. We sat on the
Speaker 4: pregame show, the top five offenses in the league. Their
Speaker 4: guys don't sit still before the snap, right, so they
Speaker 4: got into there.
Speaker 7: He hadn't.
Speaker 4: He got into his bag. Defensively, defensive line stepped up
Speaker 4: in a major way. And I'm not even just talking
Speaker 4: about pressures. That's that's what we expected this defensive line, right,
Speaker 4: No dish to them, but we expect pressures. We expect
Speaker 4: when they when they are in passing situations to make
Speaker 4: it make it hell for opposing quarterbacks. That's the expectation
Speaker 4: for this team and for that defense. What they did
Speaker 4: was they took away the run, and by taking away
Speaker 4: the run, they were allowed to do what.
Speaker 7: They do best, which is pass rush.
Speaker 4: They shut down one of the most versatile running backs
Speaker 4: in the game, Austin Eckler. He's fully healthy coming off
Speaker 4: of injury. He's been out for the last four weeks.
Speaker 4: This dude came in there ready to roll, had a
Speaker 4: good start to the game. But after that they shut
Speaker 4: him down.
Speaker 6: Did you say they punched him in the mouth.
Speaker 4: They punched them all the way in the mouth, literally literally,
Speaker 4: And before the game, you know figured really, you know, and.
Speaker 6: Act fourteen carries for twenty seven yards, that's one point
Speaker 6: nine yards.
Speaker 4: That's the definition of shutting somebody down. And you had
Speaker 4: to do that because if they had access to Eckler,
Speaker 4: you're in trouble.
Speaker 7: You're in trouble.
Speaker 4: So the defensive front did a great job and then
Speaker 4: go all the way to the next level. Who was
Speaker 4: going to fill in for vander ash oh Man way Thomas? No,
Speaker 4: Jyya is not healthy, so he can't help. So uh
Speaker 4: Malik Jefferson non main leege. Jefferson's more of a special
Speaker 4: teams player. Okay, well, who is it gonna be? H?
Speaker 4: Fourteen fourteen fourteen Cox? Now, Dad Cox ain't here no more, No,
Speaker 4: it's not him. Oh Marky's bell, Yeah, Marky's bell. Yeah
Speaker 4: that guy, you.
Speaker 7: Mean, the undersized guy, the twohudred rounder. Yeah, yeah, that guy.
Speaker 7: Well guess what.
Speaker 4: He hadn't had a great start to the season, but
Speaker 4: he showed up in a big way last night. He
Speaker 4: was all over the freaking place, running around, making life
Speaker 4: hell for the quarterback, taking away Eckler, running taking away
Speaker 4: any other little little dump downs that they had, running
Speaker 4: sideline the sideline, making big hits, pressures. He was the
Speaker 4: game the game changer for me on that side of
Speaker 4: the ball.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was so awesome.
Speaker 9: And I talked to him one on one after the
Speaker 9: game in the pre in the locker room, and he's
Speaker 9: so like naive to the moment too. It feels like,
Speaker 9: which is it's probably a good thing to have in
Speaker 9: that that kind of situation. I know dan Quinns talked
Speaker 9: about that with Deron Bland at times, just about how
Speaker 9: like no moment is too big for him. Kind of
Speaker 9: feels that way. With Marquis Bell, it was really good
Speaker 9: to see him ball out the way he did last night.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and there were multiple guys that stepped up in
Speaker 6: that way, and we kind of talked about it that
Speaker 6: there were role players that needed to come in and
Speaker 6: play better. And it wasn't perfect. There were penalties. There
Speaker 6: were mistakes a.
Speaker 7: Lot of penalties.
Speaker 6: There was a lot going on offensively, defensively, doesn't matter.
Speaker 6: It wasn't a perfect game from any unit, but it
Speaker 6: was enough to get the job done, and there were
Speaker 6: a lot of key plays throughout. I felt like our
Speaker 6: highlight read last night was the longest I've ever had
Speaker 6: to put together because I felt like there were so
Speaker 6: many crucial points in this football game. You could talk
Speaker 6: about the first half. You could talk about the decision
Speaker 6: to not take a shot at the end zone and
Speaker 6: kick a field goal going into halftime. You could talk
Speaker 6: about the second half and the punt touch and Jalen
Speaker 6: Tober trying to make a play and it gives it
Speaker 6: back to the Chargers. But ultimately, the number one thing
Speaker 6: that stood out on offense was the way that Dak
Speaker 6: Prescott started playing instinctively again, started using the legs, started
Speaker 6: getting out of trouble because he was under pressure quite
Speaker 6: a bit, and he got sacked a couple times too.
Speaker 6: I think it was four sacks total on the game.
Speaker 6: He was under pressure. This pass rush got after Dak Prescott,
Speaker 6: But it was his ability to improvise the gate's ability
Speaker 6: to escape that we haven't seen really at any point
Speaker 6: this season that allowed him to be successful. Fine targets
Speaker 6: downfield open up that passing attack a little bit like
Speaker 6: you said a little bit earlier, Nick, I mean it
Speaker 6: might have been the last time we saw the run game.
Speaker 6: Neither team could get the ground game going. But the
Speaker 6: difference in this one was the fact that Dak had
Speaker 6: a better game than Justin Herbert and that's how you
Speaker 6: got the win.
Speaker 9: Yeah, four won this game all in all, three hundred
Speaker 9: and twelve total yards. It was not only on the
Speaker 9: ground with the fourth down scamper and being able to
Speaker 9: make that happen, and then through the air he did it.
Speaker 9: You know, the run game it couldn't really get going.
Speaker 9: And I wrote about it in five Takes last night.
Speaker 9: They have to start getting creative with Tony Pollard in
Speaker 9: the run game. And I hate to harp on a
Speaker 9: couple of negatives here, but you have to look at
Speaker 9: the score and you say, you only score twenty, and
Speaker 9: you were three points away from losing this game. It
Speaker 9: could have gone either way late and then so there
Speaker 9: were definitely negatives to draw away. And the two big
Speaker 9: things I came away with was Tony Pollard. There's just
Speaker 9: not enough creativity with him, and then I don't feel
Speaker 9: like there's enough creativity in the play calling overall. You
Speaker 9: mentioned the pre snap motion and it was the first
Speaker 9: time we had really seen that so far the season,
Speaker 9: and it got it got us back to like, looking
Speaker 9: at an NFL offense, I want, I want more, give
Speaker 9: me more.
Speaker 2: I just there's so many weapons on this team.
Speaker 9: I feel like you can put guys in positions to
Speaker 9: make some make some plays out in the open field.
Speaker 9: Like it could be as simple as the Braindon cooks
Speaker 9: in around and it's a big first down, fourteen yard
Speaker 9: game and it gets it, sparks a drive and then
Speaker 9: he ends up having a huge drive, has a huge
Speaker 9: third down catch on that drive.
Speaker 2: It only builds.
Speaker 9: Momentum, Like, let's just get the get the ball in
Speaker 9: the hands of these guys. We can keep the short concepts, Okay,
Speaker 9: we can keep the short medium concepts, but just get
Speaker 9: a little more creative with it. I'm going back on
Speaker 9: the film today. It's actually one of my notes that
Speaker 9: I do have how many slams the CD run CD
Speaker 9: run last night, which like he did good.
Speaker 2: Don't get me wrong, but it's just like, man, but.
Speaker 4: You know what, Like to that point, I sat here
Speaker 4: last week and said, this offense, the West Coast offense
Speaker 4: works right when you move guys around and if you
Speaker 4: just line up and run slants, you just line up
Speaker 4: and run hitches, line up and run shallows, like.
Speaker 7: It's probably not gonna work to your favor.
Speaker 4: But when you watch film, okay, when everybody else watching
Speaker 4: this film, go back and look at how putting CD
Speaker 4: Lamb in motion or anybody in motion softens the defense,
Speaker 4: how it creates leverage. Right, So ceed Lamb might be
Speaker 4: lined up one way, all of a sudden, you run
Speaker 4: a motion across the formation. Now whoever was on him
Speaker 4: goes from inside inside leverage to outside leverage, right, and
Speaker 4: it goes from four yards off to five yards off.
Speaker 4: Those little adjustments that nobody pays attention to are what
Speaker 4: creates the opportunities for him to run slant routes uninhibited,
Speaker 4: right that, I mean, there's so many opportunities like that.
Speaker 4: That you that showed up on film last night was like,
Speaker 4: you know what, the safety was going to roll down
Speaker 4: to his side. But as soon as you put somebody
Speaker 4: in motion, they change responsibilities and they sent the other
Speaker 4: safety down instead of that safety that was going to
Speaker 4: take away that slant, and you're able to hit ced
Speaker 4: Lamb across the middle. There's a lot of things like
Speaker 4: that that people don't see on film. And that's why
Speaker 4: I say motions pre pre snap motions and shifts or
Speaker 4: things of that nature important because you change the dynamic,
Speaker 4: you change the responsibilities the defense has to adjust, and
Speaker 4: when they adjust, they adjust in the way in which
Speaker 4: you want them to and anticipate them to to free
Speaker 4: up even though you're still running slants in short routes.
Speaker 7: It allows you to get those those big plays.
Speaker 9: And we've talked about it many times about how Dak
Speaker 9: Prescott at time struggles with reading coverages. It highlights coverages
Speaker 9: by having pre snap motions. So why not integrated even more.
Speaker 9: I think there's only one offense in the entire NFL
Speaker 9: right now that could get away with the lack of
Speaker 9: creativity that this team showed through the first.
Speaker 2: Five or five games.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'll kind of keep last night as an exception,
Speaker 9: and it's Miami just because of all the speed that
Speaker 9: they have, Like they can run those short, quick routes
Speaker 9: and take off like good. But not every team is Miami. Clearly,
Speaker 9: they have the most yards ever through five games. So
Speaker 9: I just need to see a little bit more creativity
Speaker 9: top to bottom there well, and it goes hand in
Speaker 9: him with pre snap motions.
Speaker 6: It looked like the creativity allowed for more confidence for
Speaker 6: Dak too, because for sure, the ability for him to
Speaker 6: step up into the pocket, step out of trouble, that
Speaker 6: doesn't come without a little bit of confidence, Just a
Speaker 6: little bit of confidence to know, Okay, this is where
Speaker 6: my guys are going, this is where they're going to be.
Speaker 6: That sort of deal from a quarterback standpoint, So when
Speaker 6: you're looking at it, Isaiah, and you're looking at a
Speaker 6: game that Dak had last night, it's not going to
Speaker 6: jump off the page from a statistics standpoint. But it
Speaker 6: was clean. He took care of the football and he
Speaker 6: moved the chains. That's what the offense is predicated on.
Speaker 6: How did you feel like he looked in the way
Speaker 6: that he executed.
Speaker 7: I think he executed relatively. Will No, there's definitely balls
Speaker 7: he wished he had back. Sure, it's nice quarterbacks, Oh
Speaker 7: my gosh, Herbert had.
Speaker 6: Herbert did not have a good day.
Speaker 7: He did not have a good day.
Speaker 4: And part of that was because the defense was putting
Speaker 4: pressure on us, sir, and he did not feel comfortable
Speaker 4: setting his feet. So if you can't set your feet
Speaker 4: as a quarterback, you're not going to throw the ball
Speaker 4: as accurately as you should. There's some I'm sure dan
Speaker 4: Quinn will go back and look at the film. There
Speaker 4: were some big plays left on the table for the
Speaker 4: Chargers that they just missed on. So glad they missed
Speaker 4: on him.
Speaker 2: And that double move that Keenan put on.
Speaker 7: When he did the tumble, he did the tumble for it. Yeah,
Speaker 7: there was there was. There were some plays out there that.
Speaker 2: Couple of them looked away that I looked away because.
Speaker 4: I I think off the top there there was at
Speaker 4: least three plays that should have been probably touchdowns close
Speaker 4: the touchdowns that they just missed on the wall.
Speaker 6: With the batdown, there was a screen left side to
Speaker 6: Austin Eckler and he had a blocker in front, and
Speaker 6: it was one blocker and the only guy that uh
Speaker 6: Eckler would have had to beat, I believe was it
Speaker 6: was it the Monk Clark.
Speaker 4: That would have been Yeah, it was the bat down
Speaker 4: by d Law would have been six. That had have
Speaker 4: been six, most likely would have been Sick Todown. Yeah,
Speaker 4: there's these two Keenan Allen players that would have been six.
Speaker 4: I mean, but it is what it is, right could
Speaker 4: have should have would have didn't happen.
Speaker 7: Dak played well.
Speaker 4: Now I want people to understand that taking a sack
Speaker 4: is not always a negative play. Yeah, Dak did a
Speaker 4: great job of just knowing I got to eat this one.
Speaker 4: I got to eat this one last week. He didn't
Speaker 4: do that last week and some things last year. He
Speaker 4: just tried to force it in there. It takes maturity,
Speaker 4: it takes growth to say, dang it, don't want to
Speaker 4: take this sack, but I got to eat it right live,
Speaker 4: live to play another down, And he did that yesterday.
Speaker 4: He escaped so many sacks. There's four sacks. He escaped
Speaker 4: another five.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, he looked like a little bit of Romo
Speaker 2: just shake.
Speaker 4: I still have to go back and look at the
Speaker 4: look at the old line, but from what I was seeing,
Speaker 4: they were getting their butts kicked a little bit up front.
Speaker 7: Okay, the stunts were giving them problems. We knew.
Speaker 4: We broke down on film last week about how these
Speaker 4: guys run stunts. They run wide, wide stunts, so it
Speaker 4: puts a lot of stress on Tyler Biadish and the
Speaker 4: rest of the guys on the interior line to really
Speaker 4: look all the way outside into eleven techniques and say, okay, is.
Speaker 7: That guy coming?
Speaker 4: Oh crap, all right, so gets your bodies out of position,
Speaker 4: gets their shoulders turned, and then they had to end
Speaker 4: up holding calls and things of that nature.
Speaker 7: But Dak did a great job. I'm i I'm glad
Speaker 7: that he uses legs. I'm really glad. If he didn't
Speaker 7: use his legs, they don't win that game. Straight up.
Speaker 4: If Dak did not use his legs and did not
Speaker 4: cross the line of scrimmage and get some positive yardage,
Speaker 4: they don't win that game.
Speaker 2: Are we scrambling outside of the pocket?
Speaker 7: Eave?
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, because you take away the touchdown because that
Speaker 6: was eighteen yards on the read option, So that's not
Speaker 6: using his legs. The way that he set up the
Speaker 6: sixty yarder to Tony Pollard on that one drive that
Speaker 6: ended up in points, that was one where it could
Speaker 6: have certainly gone a different direction. Ceedee lamb eighteen yarder
Speaker 6: in the final drive to help set up that field goal,
Speaker 6: the Brandon Aubrey field goal. Multiple times where Deck used
Speaker 6: his legs, utilized the ability to move around the pocket,
Speaker 6: get out of the pocket, it certainly helped things out
Speaker 6: all right. Time for us to take our first break.
Speaker 6: When we come back, let's continue on the offensive side
Speaker 6: of the football. What's going on with the connection between
Speaker 6: Dak Prescott and Michael Gallup. Is there something to be
Speaker 6: concerned about moving forward or is this something that's already
Speaker 6: been a concern for this Cowboys offense when we come
Speaker 6: back with more talking Cowboys on a victory Tuesday.
Speaker 10: Right after this, Todd thought it would be secure to
Speaker 10: jog in the Cheat of Savannah. Todd believed the big
Speaker 10: that repellent he bought online was reliable. And now Todd
Speaker 10: is trying to be faster than this cheetah that can
Speaker 10: run eighty miles per hour. But the good news is
Speaker 10: Todd has AT and T five G. It is fast, reliable,
Speaker 10: and secure, and he learned the best thing to do
Speaker 10: is stop running and toss her the backpack with the
Speaker 10: beef stew At and T five G. Fast, reliable, secure,
Speaker 10: It's not complicated.
Speaker 5: Five G requires compatable planning device. Five G may not
Speaker 5: be available in your area. See att dot com slash

Speaker 13: life's questions with an ice cold can of Doctor Pepper. Sheila,
Speaker 13: let's hear from my next caller.
Speaker 6: Would you, dear doctor, my friend supported me during a
Speaker 6: tough time. But what's the right gift that says thanks

Speaker 3: To Talking Cowboys, this segment is brought to you buy
Speaker 3: in visi line the official Smile of the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 6: It's all smiles here on Talking Cowboys, presented by Black
Speaker 6: Rifle Coffee Company. The official coffee of the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 6: Is The Cowboys get a twenty to seventeen win over
Speaker 6: the Los Angeles Chargers. They are now at four and
Speaker 6: two going into the bye week, but still plenty to
Speaker 6: talk about. On offense that maybe wasn't as clean as
Speaker 6: it could have been. We'll talk about the penalties, We'll
Speaker 6: talk about the offensive line in a little bit, but
Speaker 6: I want to start with Michael Gallup Dak Prescott at
Speaker 6: one point in the game when targeting anyone but Michael
Speaker 6: Gallup was sixteen of sixteen passing. He completed his first
Speaker 6: sixteen targets to guys that weren't wearing the number thirteen
Speaker 6: on the Dallas Cowboys wide receiver corps. However, Michael Gallup
Speaker 6: did get the most targets in the game ten targets,
Speaker 6: had just three receptions for twenty four yards. So I
Speaker 6: asked the question, gentlemen and a nick, I'll start with you,
Speaker 6: But Michael Gallup has always benefited from a connection with
Speaker 6: Dak Prescott. He's always had four in his corner. And
Speaker 6: it's not to say that four is not in his
Speaker 6: corner by any means. He targeted him ten times. But
Speaker 6: is there a concern there for Michael Gallup moving forward
Speaker 6: or is this a concern that's already been there but
Speaker 6: it's just rearing its ugly head again.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 9: I mean, look at the last two seasons and the
Speaker 9: production that you've gotten from Michael Gallup. I think there
Speaker 9: had to be a certain level of expectation. I don't
Speaker 9: think that. I don't think that anyone realistically you could
Speaker 9: ask going into the season expected a thousand yard season
Speaker 9: from him like he did in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 2: That was twenty nineteen.
Speaker 9: I believe as a wide receiver three, what are the expectations, like,
Speaker 9: what are the preseason expectations asking you guys.
Speaker 6: For Michael Gallup getting paid? What is it eleven million
Speaker 6: a year? Right about Isaiah eleven point seven point three
Speaker 6: five eleven point three five miss year. I mean he
Speaker 6: is a number three receiver. I would like at least
Speaker 6: eight hundred yards. Eight hundred yards would be great. That's
Speaker 6: that's asking a lot, because that means Brandon Cooks probably
Speaker 6: has at least nine hundred one thousand, and then that
Speaker 6: hasn't happened. Ceedee Lamb would have thirteen hundred like he's
Speaker 6: had the last couple of years. So I think even
Speaker 6: eight hundreds probably a high number.
Speaker 9: I'll say this, and I'm sure six hundred, eight hundred,
Speaker 9: you know, in that range probably good. But the fact
Speaker 9: that he had seven targets last night that did not
Speaker 9: go his way, there's got to be some sort of
Speaker 9: rhythm there. There's got to be a rhythm that gets
Speaker 9: built with him and Dak Prescott. I don't know what
Speaker 9: that looks like. I'm not going to see him pretend
Speaker 9: like I do because because that's a that's a relationship
Speaker 9: that's been built over the last five six years, and
Speaker 9: I'm not one hundred percent sure what's wrong there, but
Speaker 9: it hasn't felt the same since he's come back from
Speaker 9: injury rhythm wise with him and Dak. So we saw
Speaker 9: that a couple times last night, and there was a
Speaker 9: couple of slants that he ran that Dak was expecting
Speaker 9: him to break on a little bit earlier, and they
Speaker 9: got bat it down quicker than expected. So, you know,
Speaker 9: I think that's that's part of it, what we got.
Speaker 6: Over here cooking.
Speaker 4: Up over I'm just I mean, I know what people
Speaker 4: like to do. I don't like counting people's money. But
Speaker 4: the reality is you you gave him the bag, you
Speaker 4: gave him the back, and there's an expectation. Unfortunately, there's
Speaker 4: an expectation that comes when you get paid.
Speaker 7: In this league.
Speaker 4: Sure, and from the time that we reach training camp,
Speaker 4: I was concerned about his ability to make contributions to
Speaker 4: the level of the expectations.
Speaker 7: Right.
Speaker 4: So I hear you saying that he's a number three
Speaker 4: receiver on this roster, but he's a well paid number
Speaker 4: three receiver on this roster. So whether the issues are
Speaker 4: stemming from from his inn or whether the issues are
Speaker 4: stemming from the chemistry in between him and a quarterback
Speaker 4: or the officer coordinator, something has to be figured out,
Speaker 4: because right now I don't feel like there's Back in
Speaker 4: the day before his injury, there was you knew what
Speaker 4: Michael gallup roll on this team was.
Speaker 6: Yeah, deep threat, contested catching, big third down guy, contest,
Speaker 6: his contested catchability.
Speaker 4: Yes, I think he still possesses those capabilities. However, they're
Speaker 4: not asking that of him right now. And when the
Speaker 4: opportunities have come to him, aside from one game this year,
Speaker 4: it hasn't connected. For whatever reason. I'm not going to speculate.
Speaker 4: It just hasn't connected. And again that's for them to
Speaker 4: figure out. But you know, there's out for them in
Speaker 4: twenty twenty four, and right now, I can't see them
Speaker 4: what he's put on film this year. I can't see
Speaker 4: them continuing to pay him that for for the contributions
Speaker 4: that he's made.
Speaker 6: The cap hit next year would just be under just
Speaker 6: under fourteen mili, So fourteen million under the cap hit
Speaker 6: the year after that, twenty twenty five is sixteen million
Speaker 6: and so the potential out is where the cap hit
Speaker 6: and the dead cap kind of offset a little bit
Speaker 6: and it doesn't hurt you as bad as a team.
Speaker 6: It would still be tough to get rid of Michael
Speaker 6: Gallup just from a contract standpoint, there was going to
Speaker 6: be a significant amount of dead cap there. But you
Speaker 6: could also restructure him and maybe try and push that
Speaker 6: down the road if you could. If you wanted to keep.
Speaker 7: Him, they just have to figure something out.
Speaker 6: But you're right, if they don't want to keep him,
Speaker 6: then what do you do with a guy like Gallup?
Speaker 6: And honestly, I think you could say the same thing
Speaker 6: about the wide receiver corps is as a whole. This
Speaker 6: was the first time you really saw Sprain and Cooks
Speaker 6: at the same time, and you got them involved, you
Speaker 6: got them outside, you got them a couple of targets,
Speaker 6: and he had a touchdown grab. That's great. Didn't really
Speaker 6: see a whole lot of Jake Ferguson in this matchup.
Speaker 6: I want to see more of these guys, But at
Speaker 6: the same time, whenever Seedee Lam's doing what he's doing,
Speaker 6: you can't take targets away from him either.
Speaker 9: Yeah, and CD obviously had a fantastic night last night,
Speaker 9: and that's what you want to see. You want to
Speaker 9: see your best playmaker get fed. But all in all,
Speaker 9: it's tough for multiple receivers to have a good game,
Speaker 9: and we've seen that through six games. Again, we have
Speaker 9: a really large stample size now going into the bye week.
Speaker 9: I think coming out of the bye week, there's got
Speaker 9: to be some sort of emphasis on just getting playmakers
Speaker 9: a ball. It goes back to what I said in
Speaker 9: the first segment. Just get a little bit more creative.
Speaker 9: You've got guys that can grab the football. I mean
Speaker 9: with Michael Gallup, he's still a possession guy. He's still
Speaker 9: a guy you could throw it up to one on
Speaker 9: one and feel comfortable with, you know, against a charger secondary.
Speaker 2: I just want to see them take those chances more.
Speaker 6: What did you think about the offensive line? Nick Isaiah
Speaker 6: kind of talked about it a little bit earlier. He
Speaker 6: felt like, at least on initial viewing, they had some holes.
Speaker 6: I haven't even gone back and watched the film yet.
Speaker 6: Usually I do slept in a little bit this morning,
Speaker 6: go after I'll look at the film in a little bit.
Speaker 6: But I thought the same thing I thought the offensive
Speaker 6: line at times held up decently, but Dak Prescott.
Speaker 7: Was under pressure quick.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it was a horrible night up front in my opinion.
Speaker 9: At Dak Prescott was running away for his life most
Speaker 9: of the time. And he was able to fight some
Speaker 9: guys off. Again, if it's without four last night, they
Speaker 9: don't win that game. He did a great job of
Speaker 9: just being able to fight off the pressure. But offensive
Speaker 9: lineman Tyler Smith had probably his roughest night that I've
Speaker 9: seen him having a really long time. It was pre
Speaker 9: snap penalties, holding penalties. Terrence Steele held his own. I
Speaker 9: think he was probably the guy who had the best
Speaker 9: night last night up front, but that left side man,
Speaker 9: it was crashing in a lot. It happened early and
Speaker 9: often it was Khalil Matt getting home early.
Speaker 7: It was.
Speaker 2: Gosh, what was Nick Williams got home in the fourth.
Speaker 6: Quarter and Fox had two sacks.
Speaker 9: Yeah more see I don't even know who that is,
Speaker 9: but yeah, it was. It was a rough night up front.
Speaker 9: Those guys.
Speaker 2: They got to clean that up.
Speaker 9: And who knows, maybe it's a rhythm thing. All five
Speaker 9: of those guys being upfront for only the second game.
Speaker 9: And I haven't loved the sample size we've gotten from
Speaker 9: those two games, so hopefully there's a little bit more
Speaker 9: to clean up there. I had asked Tyler Smith afterwards,
Speaker 9: was kind of the instance going into the bye week
Speaker 9: from an offensive line perspective. He said, Man, we just
Speaker 9: got to get back to what we're doing. We do right,
Speaker 9: and let's get back to technique. He's said there was
Speaker 9: one specific thing that he needed to work on, but
Speaker 9: I completely forgot what it was. But prestat penalties that
Speaker 9: was also a huge emphasis and making sure that they
Speaker 9: cleaned those up.
Speaker 2: But man, the penalties.
Speaker 7: Last night.
Speaker 6: For eighty five yards.
Speaker 2: I mean it was all three phases.
Speaker 9: Again, it was like it was the same thing that's
Speaker 9: been playing in this team all season, lining up off sides,
Speaker 9: twelve men on the field twice.
Speaker 6: And they had to burn time out they saved the
Speaker 6: second one.
Speaker 2: It's, uh, that's that's got to be cleaned up.
Speaker 6: How does that happen? How does twelve men on the
Speaker 6: field happen?
Speaker 7: Substitutions just just not.
Speaker 2: The second one was Sam Williams, and.
Speaker 7: There was there was subbing a lot.
Speaker 9: Look, man, Sam Williams tweeted post came free me with
Speaker 9: like a dog in like a cage and man for yourself.
Speaker 7: M for yourself.
Speaker 2: That's that's kind of how I feel about it.
Speaker 9: He's getting involved in fights pregame and then during the
Speaker 9: game he's lined up lined up on the field when
Speaker 9: he shouldn't be and it's hands to the face. I mean,
Speaker 9: come on, man, come on, come on, Sam Williams. I
Speaker 9: challenge you to.
Speaker 2: Free yourself.
Speaker 7: At that point.
Speaker 6: It's just discipline right at that point. It because Sam
Speaker 6: Williams is a good player whenever he's active.
Speaker 7: Maturity and discipline.
Speaker 6: But you just got to find discipline right and maturity.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's a girl.
Speaker 4: I mean, it's a competitive, competitive group over there on
Speaker 4: the defense side of the ball. But going back to
Speaker 4: the offensive line side of things, you know, I'm glad
Speaker 4: that he said that they have to get back to
Speaker 4: their technique because that's what shows up on film. They're
Speaker 4: struggling on stunts. They're struggling on stunts. And when I
Speaker 4: say that, I mean I'm assuming that the charge is
Speaker 4: seeing it on film against the forty nine ers, because
Speaker 4: the forty nine ers ran a ton of stunts and
Speaker 4: it caused Dallas some issues up front as well. But
Speaker 4: the passing off of responsibilities, the communication they're the nonverbal communication.
Speaker 4: I'm knowing who's coming into your space and who who
Speaker 4: you're supposed to take bas based upon you know, the
Speaker 4: blocking scheme. You know, the technique comes into part when
Speaker 4: these defensive ends are getting so wide. You know, the
Speaker 4: chargers stressed that extensively. Right, they end up in a
Speaker 4: nine technique, which is a gap outside of your tackle,
Speaker 4: and then they put somebody outside of that so, I
Speaker 4: don't know, call it eleven technique. Right, So you had
Speaker 4: a nine and eleven two guys outside, and then they
Speaker 4: ran a stunt back across. So as the whole right
Speaker 4: side of the offensive line tries to tries to you know,
Speaker 4: shelve a shove, shelve KITK KICKKD kick and go out
Speaker 4: there and protect the right side, well sometimes you just
Speaker 4: get a little nosy and you end up turning your
Speaker 4: body and now all of a sudden, your pads are
Speaker 4: adjacent to the sideline and that stunt comes right back
Speaker 4: over the top. So technique comes into part, but also
Speaker 4: trusting your responsibilities that.
Speaker 7: They're playing that wide. They can't get to your quarterback, right,
Speaker 7: they can't get to your quarterback. There's there's there's literally
Speaker 7: a hit point right for the defensive ends. They run
Speaker 7: it all day long in training camp.
Speaker 4: Right, there's a certain yard is right in four and
Speaker 4: a half five sorry, four yards and six yards. That's
Speaker 4: what your quarterback is really gonna lie at, right right
Speaker 4: around that mark. Hey, they're gonna hit that point every
Speaker 4: single time. When you line up so far out, they're
Speaker 4: just gonna end up running the hoop.
Speaker 7: So you have to trust your technique and trust your scheme,
Speaker 7: trust your.
Speaker 4: Quarterback to know that, Hey, if they want to line
Speaker 4: up way out there, bru, you can step up here
Speaker 4: all day long. Right, Let those guys run around in
Speaker 4: circles all day long and let them go on to
Speaker 4: marry go around, step up here, and this is this
Speaker 4: is your safe place, right, this is you. This is
Speaker 4: your snuggie. We'll put a snuggie around you, right. But
Speaker 4: they can't chase. They can't chase guys. And that's what
Speaker 4: I think they're starting to fall into. So when I
Speaker 4: when I hear him say, hey, we have to get
Speaker 4: back to trusting our technique, I think that's probably what
Speaker 4: he's referring to. Hey, we just got to this is
Speaker 4: our box right here, right, And if they want to
Speaker 4: get to our guy that we're bodyguarden right now, which
Speaker 4: is that they have to come through us, right, And
Speaker 4: that's the hardest concept. You You find guys on special teams, right.
Speaker 4: I did a lot of special teams. Punt teams chase
Speaker 4: the guys a lot as well. Right, they end up
Speaker 4: getting their bodies turn and that's when the up and
Speaker 4: unders come. He's got to say, hey, listen, this guy
Speaker 4: is at that point right there. We know how many
Speaker 4: yards he's going to be sitting at. If they want
Speaker 4: to get to him, they can run around and they
Speaker 4: never get to never get there, or they have to
Speaker 4: come through us, and the offense line has to get
Speaker 4: back to saying they got to come through us if
Speaker 4: they want to get the number four. Trusting your foundation,
Speaker 4: trusting your technique.
Speaker 6: That sounds easier said than done. Yeah, it feels like
Speaker 6: it would be a tough thing though all the way through.
Speaker 6: So how easy is that to do? From an offensive line?
Speaker 4: Stamp's trust is trusting the guy that's next to you,
Speaker 4: is trusting the guy that's next year.
Speaker 6: Can that just come with continuity and reps?
Speaker 7: Absolutely?
Speaker 4: Absolutely, But it's also sometimes you get so gung hole
Speaker 4: out on I want to get this guy. I want
Speaker 4: to get this guy, or oh that's my guy, right,
Speaker 4: that's my guy, no matter what, I'm chasing like a
Speaker 4: pit bull, right, like he's wherever he goes, I'm going.
Speaker 4: And then you lose your technique in chasing your assignment.
Speaker 4: So even though you're you've checked the box, Okay, I
Speaker 4: got my guy, that's mine. I'm responsible for him. Well,
Speaker 4: if he goes outside of my jurisdiction, I can't keep
Speaker 4: chasing him, right, I can't lose what I'm supposed to
Speaker 4: be doing just to chase my assignment. And that We've
Speaker 4: seen it on film many times where team defensive coordinators
Speaker 4: will recognize, hey, we know that guy gets locked in,
Speaker 4: so we're gonna we're gonna mess with him almost say
Speaker 4: something else.
Speaker 7: We're gonna mess with him, right.
Speaker 14: We're gonna run up there and we're gonna grab his
Speaker 14: attention and they're gonna they we're gonna back out of there,
Speaker 14: right because we know if you show at the line
Speaker 14: of scrimmage, he's gonna get locked in on you and
Speaker 14: he's going to be less concerned about the gap integrity
Speaker 14: that he's supposed to have.
Speaker 4: Right, So there's a lot of that going on. So
Speaker 4: they just have to get back to saying, hey, shoulder
Speaker 4: to shoulder, you're my brother. Anybody wants to get back there, right,
Speaker 4: they gotta come through us. We just gotta trust that
Speaker 4: if they want to run the hoop, right, they want
Speaker 4: to run the hoop, Dak's gonna step up and they
Speaker 4: just have to keep in stealing that in the deck.
Speaker 4: A step up, step up. We got you in here.
Speaker 4: We can't help you out there. We got to you
Speaker 4: gotta step up.
Speaker 2: Can I get my Cico bag for a minute?
Speaker 7: Go ahead?
Speaker 2: Yes, So whatever what I was covering high school, now.
Speaker 6: We need to drop like like Nick Cico bag. Did
Speaker 6: you see his his fit yesterday? Yeah it was they
Speaker 6: talk about Cico.
Speaker 9: Yeah, all right, let me get my Cicco bag for
Speaker 9: a minute. When I was covered high school football. There's
Speaker 9: a team downe in the Houston area, Bridgeland and Cyprus
Speaker 9: Fare is SD relatively new school. They actually have They've
Speaker 9: turned out a lot of talent. The starting quarterback at
Speaker 9: A and M, the shir Connor Wigman came from that program.
Speaker 9: But every time they go out they have super wide
Speaker 9: offensive line like splits like these guys are lined up
Speaker 9: dang near like hash to hash on a college field
Speaker 9: or her college and high school field, and I was
Speaker 9: always wondering, like why did they do this? And poor
Speaker 9: Connor Wigman, he was just getting bludgeted in that offense
Speaker 9: like every single time because it was just isolating high
Speaker 9: school offensive lineman on the edge and they were getting killed.
Speaker 9: But last night I was sitting there looking at these
Speaker 9: the wideness that they'd come around, like you said, with
Speaker 9: like a nine or eleven technique, And I was sitting
Speaker 9: there and I was like, you know, if the Bridgeland
Speaker 9: offensive coordinator was on this sideline, like.
Speaker 2: You know what I have Just so I don't know that.
Speaker 9: It was a little sicker moment I had last night
Speaker 9: with myself, SOFFE like sharing that, but yeah, maybe it.
Speaker 2: Could have worked.
Speaker 7: It's true.
Speaker 6: I want to know if anybody at home is a
Speaker 6: part of the Bridgeland high school football program and was
Speaker 6: just tuning into talking Cowboys as a normal Cowboys fan

Speaker 6: To Talking Cowboys. This segment is brought to you by
Speaker 6: the Cowboys Fan of the Year, presented by Captain Morgan.
Speaker 6: Glad you're with us here on Talking Cowboys, final segment
Speaker 6: of a victory Tuesday. Here from the Star in Frisco,
Speaker 6: Isaiah standby, What are you laughing at? Nick Harris? Chris
Speaker 6: Beam in the back omens?
Speaker 13: What am I?
Speaker 3: All?
Speaker 6: The breath? Had a tight hammy this morning? Had the
Speaker 6: run upstairs? Go get that beautiful helmet.
Speaker 7: Look at that. I love that in my shot.
Speaker 6: A beautiful helmet.
Speaker 7: That might be the new centerpiece.
Speaker 6: I have. Like a clean white helmet up there too,
Speaker 6: like the one that wore the Arctic cowboy helmet.
Speaker 7: Keep the smelly sticker one up there?
Speaker 6: You like the smelly sticker one.
Speaker 2: People were hating on those uniforms last night. I thought, dude,
Speaker 2: they're so close.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, they're so.
Speaker 9: I got posted on Twitter whenever they came out, and
Speaker 9: it was like fifty to fifty, like people were split
Speaker 9: on it.
Speaker 2: I was like, we're split on this, I'm ridiculous.
Speaker 6: Yeah, if you're split on you're just trying to make conversation.
Speaker 6: That's dumb, that is pure Yeah. All right, all right,
Speaker 6: So before we get the smelly stickers, I really quickly
Speaker 6: want to give credit where the credit is due on
Speaker 6: this defensive side of the football. Seventeen points allowed against
Speaker 6: Kellen Moore, offensive coordinator for the Chargers. As the Cowboys
Speaker 6: defense gets back to doing what they do best, they
Speaker 6: had this the eight quarterback hits only one sack, pressures
Speaker 6: all over the field last night, six passes defended, including
Speaker 6: a couple big ones from Deron Blayd down the stretch.
Speaker 6: Isaiah quick thought on the defense before we give.
Speaker 4: Our players of the game, I think they were the
Speaker 4: d line, especially with Serviceable. I think they did a
Speaker 4: great job of I don't want to say service but
Speaker 4: let me remove that retract that statement. The defensive line
Speaker 4: played their butts off. Jonathan Hankins had a heck of
Speaker 4: a night. Osa Digie Zua continues to show up. Those
Speaker 4: guys controlled the interior defensive line and really created some
Speaker 4: havoc on the interior offensive line so that they could
Speaker 4: not establish a running game. Marquis Bell did a heck
Speaker 4: of a job of reading the screens, right.
Speaker 7: I talk. We talked about how Eckler, if you couldn't
Speaker 7: get going in a running game, he was going to
Speaker 7: be a great contributor in terms of the passing potentially
Speaker 7: when Marcu's Bell did a great job of negating that.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 4: Whenever wherever Eckler was, he was whenever they tried to
Speaker 4: run screens. He was there sideline, the sideline creating plays.
Speaker 4: You know, Curse honestly did a relatively good job as well.
Speaker 7: You know, I think that penalty was bs against him.
Speaker 7: I think that was trash to me.
Speaker 4: That yeah, But the secondary, honestly, the secondary, the secondary
Speaker 4: got tosted oed a good amount of times. I'm not
Speaker 4: even gonna lie. I think they got bailed out by
Speaker 4: some bad thrills by Herbert. I think that could have
Speaker 4: easily been.
Speaker 7: Not in their favor had the defensive line not had
Speaker 7: the pressure because guys were open.
Speaker 4: Double moves killed them. Concepts killed them. I think they
Speaker 4: have to be better on the back end.
Speaker 9: It was Jordan Lewis for me that really just had
Speaker 9: such a rough game, and I had actually highlighted it
Speaker 9: in and the key matchups leading into the week with
Speaker 9: with Keenan Allen him and Keenan out and Keenan Allen
Speaker 9: cooked them. He did, he did on that double move,
Speaker 9: but other than that, derand held his own like think
Speaker 9: about it. In the fourth quarter, Keenan was relati held
Speaker 9: and check, but that double move it. Yeah, it's again corner,
Speaker 9: very thankless job at times, because when you have one
Speaker 9: horrible play like that, it overwhelms everything. But whenever they
Speaker 9: put de Ron Bland on him, it worked out. And
Speaker 9: I was screaming for that early in the game, just
Speaker 9: because they were throwing Gilmour at him, they were throwing
Speaker 9: Jordan Lewis at him, they were throwing Donovan Wilson at
Speaker 9: him at a certain point one on one and it
Speaker 9: wasn't working out. But fortunately it worked out for the Cowboys.
Speaker 6: I really liked the defense and what they did last night,
Speaker 6: because you talked about seventeen points allowed. It very easily
Speaker 6: could have been ten points allowed if it wasn't for
Speaker 6: the special teams debacle. And that was a great play
Speaker 6: by the fielders position it was. It was a great play.
Speaker 6: And I don't fault Jalen Tolbert for going.
Speaker 7: Not at all football.
Speaker 6: He was trying to make a play. He thought it
Speaker 6: was touched by Turpin. Now he got pushed back in
Speaker 6: Turpin and that's a learning point for Tolbert as a whole.
Speaker 6: But the fact that he went and touched the football,
Speaker 6: I don't.
Speaker 4: Blame him what he did, And I hope people understand
Speaker 4: how difficult of a job he has. You're sprinting forty yards,
Speaker 4: you're sprinting backwards, and then you're expected to stop, turn
Speaker 4: around and now change your momentum.
Speaker 6: Against the gust the guy who's sprinting as well.
Speaker 7: It's the most one of the most difficult things you
Speaker 7: could do in football. It's underrated.
Speaker 4: Kudos the Sjalen Tober for putting in an effort out there.
Speaker 7: And he had a heck of a gang too, all right.
Speaker 6: Talking about having a heck of a game, is he
Speaker 6: is it enough for your smelly sticker? Well, let Nick
Speaker 6: Caras start. He had the most time to look through
Speaker 6: the stickers, so you get things under the underway.
Speaker 2: Thank you, sir, Thank you, sir.
Speaker 9: So I my eyes peeled onto this lemon right here
Speaker 9: right Because when you're handed lemons in life.
Speaker 2: What do you do?
Speaker 6: You make lemonade?
Speaker 9: And who made so much? Do we have a lemonade sponsor?
Speaker 9: I don't believe so who made so much? Minute made
Speaker 9: lemonade yesterday? Not the Houston Astro, not to Houston Rangers?
Speaker 8: Who did?
Speaker 2: Who did? Who was handed a ton of lemons and
Speaker 2: made lemonade? Marquees Bell? So yeah, mark E's Bell.
Speaker 9: Whether it was filling the running lanes of finding Austin
Speaker 9: cler early and stopping the run, I mean you had
Speaker 9: arguably your best run defender out in lighton vander esh
Speaker 9: and man, he stepped in and he did his thing
Speaker 9: in the running game, in the passing game, he was
Speaker 9: able to keep things limited and even though it did
Speaker 9: end up in a score, him being able to force
Speaker 9: that fourth and goal from the one just by being
Speaker 9: able to stop Eckler right at the goal line. Those
Speaker 9: grown men stuff and to see it from a guy
Speaker 9: that doesn't have as much experience, and it is literally
Speaker 9: playing out a position I love to see it.
Speaker 2: So uh a Marquis spill. You have my smelly sticker today?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 7: Good stuff?
Speaker 6: Uh you want to go next to Isaiah? I'll do
Speaker 6: it all right, past that big old helmet over here.
Speaker 6: Whoam stretch?
Speaker 8: All right?
Speaker 7: Well, I'm going to pick the biggest sticker on here,
Speaker 7: no pun intended.
Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, I'm figuring it one right.
Speaker 6: You see this guy on the bike. Yeah, what does
Speaker 6: he have on his back? He's got a backpack, got
Speaker 6: a backpack. You know why he has a backpacks. There's
Speaker 6: like seventeen pineapples on this sheet that have a back well,
Speaker 6: including this one that only shows his backpack.
Speaker 4: It's a big guy that rode into Sofi Stadium with
Speaker 4: his backpack and winning his bag. Coach McCarthy winning his
Speaker 4: bag this week, all right, Regardless of what a lot
Speaker 4: of people are going to say, he did what he
Speaker 4: needed to do offensively, changing things up to create the
Speaker 4: matchups he needed to get some of his playmakers the ball.
Speaker 4: I know it's not the killing Moore. Listen, this is
Speaker 4: not kelling Moore's offense. Okay, so people need to get
Speaker 4: that out of their head.
Speaker 7: You're not going to see what you've seen over.
Speaker 4: The recent years. That's what I said in training camp. Right,
Speaker 4: whatever you have in your head of this offense, get
Speaker 4: rid of it. It's going to be a completely different.
Speaker 7: Look. What you saw yesterday was Mike McCarthy's version of
Speaker 7: getting in his bag.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 4: He will make it look a little bit different every
Speaker 4: week going forward. But he did what he needed to
Speaker 4: do in terms of motions and shifts and moving his
Speaker 4: guys around to get ceedee lamb the ball to get
Speaker 4: beat Cooks the ball. That's more than we could say
Speaker 4: it over the past few weeks. So right, McCarthy, you
Speaker 4: rode into sofar, put your backpack on, and you looked
Speaker 4: across the way and you said, take that, killer Moore,
Speaker 4: take that.
Speaker 6: Take that.
Speaker 9: Speaking of bags, did y'all see Micah Parsons had like
Speaker 9: eight bags and he's carrying into the stadium yesterday?
Speaker 2: What do you mean he brought his whole house?
Speaker 6: Esa, You know he's a West West Coast guy. All right, Isaiah,
Speaker 6: what did you eat pregame yesterday? You were snacking on
Speaker 6: a on a fruit? What'd you eat?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 6: I've had a pair. You had a nice pair, right right,
Speaker 6: That's what I've got right here, I've got a little sticker.
Speaker 6: It's a pair. You know who had a pair of
Speaker 6: touchdowns yesterday and led that offense well, Dak Prescott. Dak Prescott,
Speaker 6: Big four got it done. He had a rushing touchdown,
Speaker 6: his first rushing touchdown since Week eight of last year,
Speaker 6: by the way, longest quarterback run for a touchdown since
Speaker 6: John kittinga back in twenty thirteen the kit. It's been
Speaker 6: a long time since you've seen a quarterback take off
Speaker 6: for eighteen yards. That was twenty nine back against the Lions.
Speaker 2: It's actually in twenty ten, twenty two times.
Speaker 9: It was my first ever Cowboys game, that exact game,
Speaker 9: and whenever Dak Prescott ran it in, I turned to
Speaker 9: Patrick Walker. I was like, do you happen to remember
Speaker 9: that John kitting a run back.
Speaker 2: In twenty ten?
Speaker 9: And then I tweeted about it and a couple of
Speaker 9: people were like, oh, yeah, I remember that, and then
Speaker 9: pr they put it out yeah yeah, so uh yeah.
Speaker 2: A little John, So you did it first? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: I knew I want something.
Speaker 6: I knew he's out there doing work, but so was
Speaker 6: Dak Prescott. He had a pair of touchdowns, one in
Speaker 6: the air, one on the ground. Found Brandon Cooks got
Speaker 6: it done. I give him the pair for my smelly
Speaker 6: sticker today. By the way, I got a question from
Speaker 6: Mario in South Texas, or Guy Mario. He said, I
Speaker 6: just want to know why Kyle has to run upstairs
Speaker 6: every week to get the helmets bringing it down. A
Speaker 6: great question. Great question, Mario. We'll talk about it next time.
Speaker 6: I just needed to get a little extra work.
Speaker 7: Can I give an honorable mention that could have very
Speaker 7: well replaced coach McCarthy? Oh sure, but very quick, Yeah,
Speaker 7: very quickly. Jonathan Hankins, Yeah, he's had two good weeks.
Speaker 6: Even in the loss against the forty nine ers.
Speaker 4: He was Hans has had a good year. And Osa Digiza.
Speaker 4: Those two right there, they need to go into the
Speaker 4: the Smelly Sticker the hall of fame for this week.
Speaker 6: Okay, maybe maybe we'll add another one off afterwards. Maybe.
Speaker 6: All right, guys, this is kind of sad for me
Speaker 6: to talk about because it's the last show we're gonna
Speaker 6: do together this week. Yeah, you could have missed, mess
