Speaker 1: The following. He's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club Cowboys. This he's Talking Cowboys,
Speaker 1: screaming live from the Dallas Cowboys World headquarters at the
Speaker 1: Star in Frisco. Elliot flowing sas, got Tipsy, and now
Speaker 1: your hosts Isaiah stand Back, heck My Harrison, Rob Phillips,
Speaker 1: and Kyle Yeomans. It is a Thursday edition of Talking
Speaker 1: Cowboys presented by Toasteve Tostitos, helping fans get in on
Speaker 1: the game and our favorite ship and our favorite tip
Speaker 1: of Talking Cowboys. Welcome into the studios everybody here at
Speaker 1: the Star in Frisco. Alongside Isaiah stand back, We've got
Speaker 1: heck My Harrison, Chris Beam in the back. I'm Kyle
Speaker 1: Yeoman's note Rob Phillips today he will be back soon,
Speaker 1: but we have got the preview ongoing for the Dallas
Speaker 1: Cowboys and the Philadelphia Eagles. Today we take a look
Speaker 1: at the Cowboys defense. Can they get their momentum back?
Speaker 1: Can they find their swagger again against that cow or
Speaker 1: that Philadelphia offense? Actually I flipped it. We did that yesterday,
Speaker 1: didn't we? We did Philly offense yesterday so it's actually
Speaker 1: Philadelphia defense and what challenges they bring to the Dallas offense.
Speaker 1: But other than that, how are we doing? Everybody van
Speaker 1: Tabuls goingiful, good, fantastic, everybody's happy, everybody's healthy. Ready to
Speaker 1: go for this week. I know. I love the coin
Speaker 1: trigger that he's got back there. We do have some
Speaker 1: news and notes to hit even though Rob Phillips is
Speaker 1: not necessarily here. What right I saw heckma retweeted this
Speaker 1: off of my account yesterday. Did you do that on
Speaker 1: purpose because you were upset about your notification from Rob Phillips?
Speaker 1: Don't know what you're talking about. Michael Parsons, Oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: out with COVID. He's on the COVID list. I quote
Speaker 1: tweeted Rob's tweet and then he retweeted me, and so
Speaker 1: almost like, oh, that might be in spite of Rob
Speaker 1: Rob the Island's Twitter notifications that always get you up
Speaker 1: in arms. Nah, man, I forgot killed two breads with
Speaker 1: one stone, man, I can support both to you at
Speaker 1: the same time, so that all that's smart. That's smart.
Speaker 1: But yeah, Michael Parsons put on the COVID list prior
Speaker 1: to practice yesterday. It was even after Mike McCarthy's press
Speaker 1: conference that that came down, and so he is in
Speaker 1: question for this week. Now there is a possibility he's back,
Speaker 1: he has to test negative if he is vaccinated, if
Speaker 1: he's unvaccinated, it's five days regardless. So there's a way
Speaker 1: that he could potentially play. But I think at this
Speaker 1: point it's safe to say it's probably not happening, and
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys for the most part, will be without
Speaker 1: their rookie linebacker. So I mean we'll start things off
Speaker 1: on that note. I promise we'll have some fun on
Speaker 1: this show. But uh yeah, you start with all I'm
Speaker 1: gonna have fun fun. Let mc gee's a bad news.
Speaker 1: What does this due to this defense? The fact that
Speaker 1: he's not available today. I mean, he's in on so
Speaker 1: many different packages that they have, So I just want
Speaker 1: to see how dan quinn is going to replace that production.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be interesting to see, and it probably gives
Speaker 1: some younger guys an opportunity to come in and see
Speaker 1: what they have. Guys like Bernard and the number fifty seven.
Speaker 1: His name is look Gifford, Yes Gifford, So look man,
Speaker 1: it gives us an opportunity to see some of our
Speaker 1: guys that hadn't gotten any reps all season. Sucks that
Speaker 1: we don't have guys like Jabril Cox. He went down
Speaker 1: earlier with the ACL injury. But you know, look, it's
Speaker 1: just next You want to say next man up, but
Speaker 1: there's no such thing, and it comes down to Michael
Speaker 1: Parsons and what he does on your team. It's unfortunate
Speaker 1: that he's possibly out. Hopefully hopefully he gets back. I
Speaker 1: know I presented this potential a couple of weeks ago,
Speaker 1: so hopefully I'm about the one who brought this, brought
Speaker 1: this on when I said if you and what happens
Speaker 1: if you don't have Michael Parsons and hopefully we have
Speaker 1: Neil back that he was back on the practice field
Speaker 1: yesterday week. So yeah, well that helps. With both of
Speaker 1: those guys are out, it would be a bigger problem obviously,
Speaker 1: But the ability to spy on Jalen Hurts now is
Speaker 1: uh compromised. It is severely compromised now that you don't
Speaker 1: have Michael Parsons, because you need somebody out there who's bigger, faster,
Speaker 1: stronger than a gentleman that you're trying to spy. And
Speaker 1: now that is no longer an option, So who would
Speaker 1: that be? And then it also throws you off now
Speaker 1: that Jeron Curse I'm here and has a hamstring, and yeah,
Speaker 1: you know that that he's limits. It's probably what my
Speaker 1: answer would have been. That would have been my answer too,
Speaker 1: But so that limits you all the way around. And
Speaker 1: and we've talked a lot about this team getting obviously
Speaker 1: they've gotten healthy throughout the season, but going into the
Speaker 1: going into the playoffs, healthy man sitting Jeron Curse if
Speaker 1: he's nursing a hamstring. We've always talked about those soft
Speaker 1: tissue issues that don't get any better by playing. So
Speaker 1: I definitely want him to rest well. He hurts us
Speaker 1: in terms of Goddard right the major way. I mean,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have brought Cursed down to be on Jalen hurts.
Speaker 1: I mean you need him for Goddard. So now who
Speaker 1: steps up in that role? And remember Goddard's on COVID.
Speaker 1: Yeah he's on there as well. So they other guys
Speaker 1: went on COVID early on Monday, Monday, Monday Monday morning,
Speaker 1: so they've got an extra two days to try and
Speaker 1: get back. Is basically what that means. I have a
Speaker 1: good feeling they'll be cleared. You think all of them
Speaker 1: will be I mean all the guys that went on early. Yeah, wow,
Speaker 1: I think it'll be that that quick of a turnaround.
Speaker 1: That's what the rule wants it to happen. They don't
Speaker 1: want it to be a mass case of, Hey, these
Speaker 1: guys are missing your entire starting lineup, at least in
Speaker 1: the case of Philadelphia this time on COVID list. That's
Speaker 1: what the NFL is trying to avoid. So maybe that
Speaker 1: is the case. Maybe they do get some guys back
Speaker 1: and it is enough for them to be able to play.
Speaker 1: But yeah, without Michael Parsons with a banged up Jay
Speaker 1: Wren curse. I mean that means you're looking at Luke
Speaker 1: Gifford covering Dallas Goddard. I think you don't even don't
Speaker 1: even put that together. Kean Aneil covering Dallas Goddard probably,
Speaker 1: I don't know who you who do you bring in?
Speaker 1: You have to bring in Nashan. Nashan has been playing
Speaker 1: a lot of special teams lately, so, I mean, he's
Speaker 1: had some reps, so maybe that's something that you just
Speaker 1: bring him into that position. Throw Israel mccuama into the
Speaker 1: mix as well. I love Israel mcquama. I mean, but
Speaker 1: you have to be able to hit, So I'm not
Speaker 1: sure if he's sure that aspect of his game up yet. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Is he physical enough to come downhill and be able
Speaker 1: to guard a guy like Goddard? Yeah, that's tough because
Speaker 1: I mean you're so thin at the linebacker spot. Maybe
Speaker 1: you get a guy like Francis Bernard back who was
Speaker 1: also on the COVID list. And oh man, it's it's
Speaker 1: the running game that concerns me from this regard, So
Speaker 1: tight ends and running game. Yeah, tight End's cool, for sure,
Speaker 1: that's gonna be a play action type of deal. But
Speaker 1: I think mostly this running game. I think Philadelphia is
Speaker 1: really gonna come in, or we're gonna go to Philadelphia,
Speaker 1: and Philadelphia is gonna come in with a mindset that
Speaker 1: they're gonna run the ball. Yeah, they're not gonna change it. No,
Speaker 1: they're not. So the fact that they're doing so well
Speaker 1: with that, and the fact that now you're you're gimpie
Speaker 1: at the second level and now your third level, who
Speaker 1: normally walks down to the box may not be present
Speaker 1: as well, that's a that's a pretty severe double headed
Speaker 1: little monster. We just took on there. So who does
Speaker 1: that put the pressure on? Defensively? Does that put the
Speaker 1: I just heard the interior D lineman. Okay, I mean
Speaker 1: the same as last week, the interior D line. Last week,
Speaker 1: the defensive ends did a great job at getting pressure upfield.
Speaker 1: We already talked about that, but you know more and
Speaker 1: the rest of the crew on the interior that walking.
Speaker 1: All those guys have to have a presence. They really
Speaker 1: have to be dominant because not only do you need
Speaker 1: to be able to disrupt Jalen Hurts and at the
Speaker 1: quarterback position, but you have to be able to stop
Speaker 1: Scott and Howard and those guys. M No, it's a
Speaker 1: tough assignment, and you're right, we're shorthanded. But going into
Speaker 1: this last game that I think the ideal is mentally
Speaker 1: is to get guys prepared for the first playoff game
Speaker 1: at home. Um, you can't go into this game thinking,
Speaker 1: oh man, it's obviously it's it's a blessing that we
Speaker 1: don't This isn't the one that we have to get
Speaker 1: because getting that Michael news would have been devastating. But
Speaker 1: at the same time, this is one where you offensively,
Speaker 1: that's where our mind has been not so much on
Speaker 1: this defense. But when you talk about guys at the
Speaker 1: second level, uh said Wilson. Oh not excuse me, M Wilson,
Speaker 1: our safeties, you know, guys like that, you know they
Speaker 1: have to they have to come on. I mean there's
Speaker 1: been times where, you know, the second level, we've questioned
Speaker 1: our safety play, um and Malie Hooker has coming on
Speaker 1: as well. So when we talk about who's going to
Speaker 1: cover Dallas Goddard, I personally put the onus on our safeties. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I do as well, And I think that obviously Setti
Speaker 1: and Hooker, those guys have a big presence in the
Speaker 1: running game. So I don't think that we'll yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: miss miss person that regard, I think that those guys
Speaker 1: come downhill and they come with bad intentions. However, when
Speaker 1: you are so aggressive, when you know that that is
Speaker 1: what the team is asking of you to be physical,
Speaker 1: to have that you know that that that impact that
Speaker 1: that positions at that particular level, I think it works
Speaker 1: against you because because now you can become overly aggressive,
Speaker 1: right you can, because you could be so committed to
Speaker 1: stopping the run that now God or can sneak up
Speaker 1: behind you. But also when you think about the Philadelphia
Speaker 1: passing game and what they do. You know that it's
Speaker 1: what they do. It's more of a Dincon dunk for sure.
Speaker 1: So I don't know how where they are about. Even
Speaker 1: with the DeVante Smith and all the speed that they have,
Speaker 1: they can't fall asleep on that. But again, you your
Speaker 1: your your attention has to be at the line of
Speaker 1: scrimmage and just keeping things in front of usual. So
Speaker 1: one of the good things about yesterday too, outside of
Speaker 1: the Parsons news, is that everybody else that was either
Speaker 1: on the roster or on the practice squad was available
Speaker 1: at practice, So it wasn't like it was a bigger
Speaker 1: issue at the moment. And hopefully it's contained within just
Speaker 1: the linebacker room at the moment, because that's what I
Speaker 1: see this as. I think. I see it as a
Speaker 1: continuation of what had happened out of the linebacker group
Speaker 1: and hopefully that stays the same going into that divisional round.
Speaker 1: By the way, Michael Parsons did tweet out yesterday following
Speaker 1: the breaking news. He said, I'm saddened by the news.
Speaker 1: I feel like I let my team down in the
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys Nation down. I'll be back better than ever
Speaker 1: I'm only gonna be more hungry. See you soon hashtag
Speaker 1: Lion Bazuka the Bazuka. Yeah. If I'm a team that's
Speaker 1: getting ready to face the Cowboys in the first round
Speaker 1: of the playoffs and Michael Parsons is one week rested
Speaker 1: and a little bit angry, I don't know if I'm
Speaker 1: okay with that he's starved, had any food. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm super excited about that, but
Speaker 1: at least talking about this Philadelphia game. Does his absence
Speaker 1: take away a significant bite from that defense? Or is
Speaker 1: it still one of those those ways where you look
Speaker 1: at and you say, Okay, Dan Quinn's running this thing.
Speaker 1: De Marcus Lawrence is still there, Randy Gregory's still there,
Speaker 1: Treyvon Diggs is still there. Even without Michael Parsons. Does
Speaker 1: this defense still have a similar bite? You just answered
Speaker 1: the question. You just called off all the dogs. You
Speaker 1: just said the names. I mean, last time I check,
Speaker 1: Dipsey Hustle, we got DeMarcus Lawrence, we still have Randy Gregory.
Speaker 1: So I feel good about our ability to present pressure. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, I just he's so such a versatile player
Speaker 1: and the way that Dan Quinn uses him. That's the
Speaker 1: one thing that I'm gonna miss, especially with when you
Speaker 1: talk about getting that pressure up the middle, his isolation
Speaker 1: plays and mugging an a gap and you know, pretting
Speaker 1: the fear of God and a left guard knowing that
Speaker 1: you know he could potentially be coming. But we've already
Speaker 1: you know, said it like, it's going to be a
Speaker 1: big responsibility on the second level of our safeties. You're
Speaker 1: always gonna lv Is gonna have to step up and
Speaker 1: do a better job. If we go to more of
Speaker 1: a zone look and he has to cover a deep
Speaker 1: third on Dallas Goddard, he has to be there, you know.
Speaker 1: So look, the play action is going to be big.
Speaker 1: And I know that these guys may get sucked up
Speaker 1: on the run some, but we just can't give up
Speaker 1: those big gash plays behind us. There's no replacing Michael Parsons.
Speaker 1: If he's not there, you're gonna miss him. But you know,
Speaker 1: to Heck's point, to your point, there are other guys
Speaker 1: that can obviously make plays on this team. There's there's
Speaker 1: a lot of dogs on his defense. It hasn't just
Speaker 1: been the Michael Parsons show. Has been a lot of
Speaker 1: dudes contributing and impacting the game. A lot of guys
Speaker 1: have been beating there and winning their matchups. It's just
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons a lot of times has been a benefactor
Speaker 1: of it. Right. He's kind of like that extra that
Speaker 1: extra card that you slap down on there. It's like
Speaker 1: the space Oh yeah, go on it, man, You had
Speaker 1: to have that one in your hand too, hunt. So
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, So obviously he will be missed if
Speaker 1: he is not pressing for this game. But in a sense,
Speaker 1: either way, it's a win. Right. If he's there, you
Speaker 1: have his physical presence. If he's not there, there are
Speaker 1: guys that now have to step up and make plays,
Speaker 1: and they now have the opportunity to build a confidence.
Speaker 1: And now you have opportunity to build more confidence in
Speaker 1: your depth at that position going into the playoffs, and
Speaker 1: that also can be beneficial as well. So do you
Speaker 1: think he could be sort of a blessing in disguise
Speaker 1: the fact that one he's it's this week and not
Speaker 1: the wildcard week, and the fact that you can actually
Speaker 1: rest him and maybe a couple other guys just by
Speaker 1: lack of choice that's presented in front of you. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't want to say probably our best deepens a
Speaker 1: player obviously not being on the field as a blessing,
Speaker 1: but that's true. If yeah, but but if him not.
Speaker 1: If there was a choice, if you had to pick
Speaker 1: between this week and next week, obviously yes, yes, obviously
Speaker 1: yes to your point, But I mean anytime that there's
Speaker 1: other guys on your roster that have a playing the
Speaker 1: opportunity to have more playing time and they have in
Speaker 1: which they haven't had. Some of these guys you know
Speaker 1: that are going to be forced into that role now.
Speaker 1: They haven't had the playing time at the linebacker position.
Speaker 1: They've had it on special teams and they've had a
Speaker 1: presence there, but nour Gifford, those guys now they're going
Speaker 1: to be thrust it possibly into the role of having
Speaker 1: in play against a playoff caliber team. Yeah, these guys
Speaker 1: are in the playoffs. So now you get some playoff
Speaker 1: experience without having to risk a playoff game, and that
Speaker 1: is going to be obviously beneficial to your depth And
Speaker 1: almost look at it like a preseason game. So when
Speaker 1: you're you're getting guys those reps and it, like you said,
Speaker 1: everything that you just said, I think is a smart
Speaker 1: way to approach it because then you know who these
Speaker 1: guys are when they can when when the five, when
Speaker 1: is really live rounds going and again this is next week.
Speaker 1: Next week is when it's gonna be for real, like
Speaker 1: we're gonna we want to make sure we get through
Speaker 1: this week. We want to get through healthy. I love football,
Speaker 1: I love playoff for you know, I was last night.
Speaker 1: I was writing up we're putting together at a hype video,
Speaker 1: so peak behind the curtain. We're putting together putting together
Speaker 1: a hype video. We'll release it on social, but we're
Speaker 1: also putting it before the pregame show as well. You
Speaker 1: might hear one of the voices that's in this room
Speaker 1: on that hype video. I don't know who, but yeah.
Speaker 1: So I was writing up the script for the hype
Speaker 1: video and then had a couple of different version is
Speaker 1: based on who we play. No stop it. But I
Speaker 1: was getting so hype, like I wasn't even watching the video.
Speaker 1: I was just writing about the playoffs, and it was
Speaker 1: like this is sick, Like this is gonna be awesome.
Speaker 1: It's first time I've been a part of a playoff
Speaker 1: run here because I got here in twenty nineteen. So
Speaker 1: I haven't been a part of a run here. I
Speaker 1: don't think either one of you. You've You've been a
Speaker 1: part of plenty of playoff runs. So this is my
Speaker 1: first go at it. I'm excited. I am. I think
Speaker 1: it's a lot of fun. Well, football is real and
Speaker 1: for everybody out there that believes at all it's just
Speaker 1: another game. The heck it is. The game gets turned up,
Speaker 1: the intensity is turned up, the hits are harder, guys
Speaker 1: are faster. Every play matters, the mind games and chess
Speaker 1: games on the field. Everything is a hiding like crazy,
Speaker 1: and you will feel it from the first kickoff. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be wild. You'll even get a little sense of
Speaker 1: that this week. There will be a little sense of
Speaker 1: that because you look a little bit of that. Okay,
Speaker 1: but you won't get her voice could get that high.
Speaker 1: You won't get the full effect until next week. But move.
Speaker 1: We gotta get through this week. We're all gonna yelling
Speaker 1: like heckma. After that Posers playoff game, either good or bad,
Speaker 1: we'll get right back in here and we'll just all
Speaker 1: be into the mic. Oh yeah, funk sway. One final
Speaker 1: note on Michael Parsons before we move on to the
Speaker 1: offense in the next segment, but Michael Parsons will finish
Speaker 1: two sacks away from the rookie sack record because he
Speaker 1: is not available this week. For the most part, he
Speaker 1: was one and a half off. Jay Von hurst uh
Speaker 1: back in nineteen ninety had fourteen point five. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: was a freak. Alden Smith had fourteen. Michael Parsons will
Speaker 1: be tied with Dwight Freeney with thirteen sixteen games too, right,
Speaker 1: I mean those guys play sixteen games, so you can
Speaker 1: get a true right there. Right, So he he's that's
Speaker 1: not bad company. Yeah, it's kind of going back to
Speaker 1: what people were talking about with t J. Watt getting
Speaker 1: close to the all time sack record in a single season.
Speaker 1: They're like, they're like, oh, it's seventeen games. Whatever. No,
Speaker 1: he's played fourteen. He will be playing fifteen by the
Speaker 1: time he's done. Watches, you're still doing yes insanity. What
Speaker 1: do you think about Cooper Cup's comments about the asterix.
Speaker 1: It's about how he doesn't like that you're going to
Speaker 1: break records that were set in sixteen games. He's pretty yeah,
Speaker 1: he's pretty much saying that you should put asterisk next
Speaker 1: to all the records that are broken. I mean you
Speaker 1: could say the same thing about the guys who broke
Speaker 1: the record that I agree. There used to be what
Speaker 1: ten games in the league back in the day, So yeah,
Speaker 1: I think I think records are meant to be broken.
Speaker 1: So that's how it goes. But when we come back
Speaker 1: here on talking Cowboys, could Dak Prescott and the Cowboys
Speaker 1: offense replicate some of the success that they had in
Speaker 1: Week three of the NFL season. We'll talk about it
Speaker 1: next right after the break. There's nothing as unique as

Speaker 1: Oh what a day? What a day? It's the final
Speaker 1: you know, it's crazy. We've got one more full week
Speaker 1: left here in the regular season and we get into
Speaker 1: playoff time. I mean, there's five weeks stretch. I'm cool
Speaker 1: with it being a five week stretch, that's the goal.
Speaker 1: But there's a chance this thing's over in a week
Speaker 1: and a half. Why would you do that? There's a chance.
Speaker 1: What would you do that? Because it's facts, it is facts.
Speaker 1: Why would you do. It's facts. But you know what
Speaker 1: else we did not speak on? What did we not
Speaker 1: speak the fact that there is a chance that the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl maybe in doubts. I mean it's a chance,
Speaker 1: no chance. No, that's that's jumping the gun on reporting it.
Speaker 1: I mean it's a possibility. That's the thing they do
Speaker 1: every year, by the way, I understand that. But it's
Speaker 1: a possibility to do that every year. And the Cowboys
Speaker 1: were not the only one that we're asked. There's probably
Speaker 1: thirty other teams that were asked. But there's a chance
Speaker 1: kind LA goes on lockdown. It's right, yeah, you're You're
Speaker 1: one of five other spots. So it's a twenty percent
Speaker 1: chance if LA goes on Lockdowdy knows where they would go.
Speaker 1: LA's not that LA is not gonna let the super
Speaker 1: Bowl go? Are you kidding me? La? Super Bowl Sofi Stadium.
Speaker 1: They've been waiting for this thing for the year. Would
Speaker 1: have never doubt that Dallas would have let the Dallas
Speaker 1: Cowboys go to Arlington. What they were an irving I know,
Speaker 1: but it's not that's more Dallas. That's it's fair. But
Speaker 1: I I, yeah, I don't know. I'm not as excited
Speaker 1: as a lot of people are. But that is kind
Speaker 1: of interesting, you know, alternate sites. It could happen, It
Speaker 1: could happen. I said, it's a chance. It is facts,
Speaker 1: it's facts. It could happen. But that's uh, that's a
Speaker 1: different story. It's just superpower Man dark Cloud and your
Speaker 1: your homes. Yeah, that's him. Me you it's your superpower.
Speaker 1: He's just a thunderstorm rolling in from seat. Happen, Sorry, dude.
Speaker 1: Forty one twenty one Dallas Cowboys eat the Philadelphia Eagles
Speaker 1: Back in week three. Dak Prescott went twenty one of
Speaker 1: twenty six five incompletions, three touchdown passes, Ezekiel Elliott seventeen
Speaker 1: carries ninety five yards, two touchdowns, not a hundred, not
Speaker 1: one hundred. But Tony Paul had also had eleven for
Speaker 1: sixty as well. So the Cowboys rushed for one sixty,
Speaker 1: passed for two twenty, and they held the ball for
Speaker 1: thirty five minutes in time of possession. Cowboys really dominated
Speaker 1: the Eagles back in week three. My question to you guys,
Speaker 1: and I'll start with you head, can the Cowboys replicate
Speaker 1: that this week on offense? It was all good two
Speaker 1: months ago, Kyle, can't we get back to that. That's
Speaker 1: what we want to do. And you know what, man,
Speaker 1: one of these days, when you get married, man, and
Speaker 1: you're married for a long time, you want to reminisce
Speaker 1: about the good old days. Reminisce. You'll pull out your album,
Speaker 1: your wedding out. Woman, You'll go to her baby, look
Speaker 1: at this back when look at this. You know, that's
Speaker 1: what you're doing right now, recollection. You want to go
Speaker 1: back when it was good if you remember back in
Speaker 1: week three, back in week three. But you know what,
Speaker 1: I think, you know the gripes that you have for Kella,
Speaker 1: did you grab that and not your rolla decks? Right?
Speaker 1: That would have been But I'm just saying, man, I
Speaker 1: think the inconsistence, the inconsistency of the offense over these
Speaker 1: last few weeks obviously has been the reason why no
Speaker 1: one points out that, oh my god, you're number one
Speaker 1: is scoring your number two overall in offense. Nobody will
Speaker 1: point to that about this offense simply because of the inconsistency.
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott right now forty one hundred yards. There are
Speaker 1: only seven other quarterbacks in the league that has more.
Speaker 1: But again, the inconsistency of this offense is what is
Speaker 1: plaguing us. You go back to that particular matchup, we
Speaker 1: just dominated from the words say go, I mean Phil, position,
Speaker 1: ball control, all of those things, and it was the
Speaker 1: catalyst was the running game. So many questions has been
Speaker 1: asked about Kelly Moore. What is Kelly Moore doing? What's
Speaker 1: happened over the last six weeks, And in my evaluation,
Speaker 1: I just believe that Kelly Moore is a type of
Speaker 1: offensive ordinator that coaches, you know, plays and not players.
Speaker 1: And so much has been asked with Davante Adams and
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and how they able to do what they do. Well. Hell,
Speaker 1: you know, if you don't have a room, a wide
Speaker 1: receiver room that has Ceedee Lamb, Michael Gallup and Mark Cooper,
Speaker 1: then obviously you could take place and say these are
Speaker 1: the guys that we're gonna call them for, you know.
Speaker 1: And we started at the beginning of the year talking
Speaker 1: about three thousand yard receivers and we have squashed all
Speaker 1: of that. Although Ceedee Lamb does have a thousand yards
Speaker 1: right now for us, and I don't think that this
Speaker 1: is going to be a situation where Kelly Moore goes
Speaker 1: into the Philadelphia game and say, we're just gonna We're
Speaker 1: gonna let you know, We're gonna let Zeke carry it
Speaker 1: thirty five times, and our Tony Poler is going to
Speaker 1: carry it this many times. I think this offense is
Speaker 1: what it is and what you see, They're not going
Speaker 1: to change their spots for anyone. It's the big playability
Speaker 1: of this offense. They've got to get back to that.
Speaker 1: I understand all of the gripes about this offense right
Speaker 1: now and where Kelly Moore is, but truly we this
Speaker 1: is this is a big playoffice and it's all going
Speaker 1: to be tension on what Dak Prescott can recognize and
Speaker 1: who he can get the ball too, and so much
Speaker 1: of it comes back to the running game. You know
Speaker 1: when I when when I when you were talking, I
Speaker 1: just think about, you know, somebody when maybe the wife's
Speaker 1: in the kitchen making a fresh meal right square and
Speaker 1: say thanks getting right. You end up making Thanksgiving Thanksgiving
Speaker 1: smelling good. It's five. You know, everything's gonna be nice
Speaker 1: and fresh, and it's gonna be buttered biscuits and everything
Speaker 1: else on the table, right. And then you got a
Speaker 1: couple of days later you get to get some leftovers
Speaker 1: and it's food, right, but it's just not the same
Speaker 1: as it was when it was when the food was fresh.
Speaker 1: And I feel like a couple months ago, the offense
Speaker 1: was fresh, right, it was a fresh meal. Right now
Speaker 1: you go to the fridge and now you just you guys,
Speaker 1: you got some leftovers, like it's cool, I'm gonna eat it,
Speaker 1: you know, but it's nothing like it was, you know,
Speaker 1: a couple of days ago. And I feel like that's
Speaker 1: what the Dallas Cowboys offense is right now. And they
Speaker 1: have to find a way to get back in their
Speaker 1: dog On cookbook. They have to find a way to
Speaker 1: get in that cookbook. And guys have to find a
Speaker 1: way to learn how the dog on make up the
Speaker 1: dog on masher tatus and mash tatus, I ain't good
Speaker 1: on it and get whipp it. I don't want to
Speaker 1: see just the risk. I want the whole arm in
Speaker 1: that thing, okay, wicking the wicking it up. It hasn't
Speaker 1: been enough wicking. We haven't seen Zeke enough eating right.
Speaker 1: It hasn't been any of that. I can probably count
Speaker 1: on our hand how many times we've seen Zeke go
Speaker 1: like this this year it has to get back to that.
Speaker 1: If these guys want to get attained, what it is
Speaker 1: that they're going after, is that who they are? I mean,
Speaker 1: think about and if so many people ask the question,
Speaker 1: what is your identity? What is the identity of this team?
Speaker 1: It ain't running now, it should be any movie it's
Speaker 1: supposed to be. So I truly think that the idea.
Speaker 1: I think that the person nail how got to mean
Speaker 1: be careful about how I say this. I truly believe
Speaker 1: that the identity of this team is offensively it is
Speaker 1: still based upon the run. I think the identity of
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator is passing. Wow, So that could be
Speaker 1: where the disconnect is. I mean, we've talked about it before.
Speaker 1: It's not like it's a new thing we have and
Speaker 1: and you really can look at it in the same
Speaker 1: light of Okay, Amari Cooper is your best receiver, no
Speaker 1: question about that. Okay, Cede Lamp is really good. Number
Speaker 1: numbers say differently, number yeah hah, All right, so you're
Speaker 1: saying exactly right. And the only time that you force
Speaker 1: feed your number one receiver is when he complains an
Speaker 1: right back to what you're doing before. Right, So there
Speaker 1: is a disconnect there's a disconnect because any other team
Speaker 1: that has a Marii Cooper would be doing what dog
Speaker 1: on right right, any other team that has officsive line,
Speaker 1: like the multiple Pro bowlers on the officsive line and
Speaker 1: Zak Eli and Tony Potter in the backfield, they would
Speaker 1: be doing what running the dog on ball. So there's
Speaker 1: a huge disconnect and it has to be addressed. Well,
Speaker 1: you remember when this was a team that was leading
Speaker 1: the NFL and rushing. They've slipped all the way down
Speaker 1: the tenth. This is a team that still is the
Speaker 1: top scoring team in the NFL twenty nine point nine
Speaker 1: points per game, but they only scored twenty eight points
Speaker 1: in seven of their last ten. It's the inconsistency. If
Speaker 1: they play to the highest of highs that they can have.
Speaker 1: There's no one in the NFL that can paint in Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1: Nobody in the NFL. Yeah, if you got your mortgage board,
Speaker 1: thanks you got that pot luck, you roll in, you eat.
Speaker 1: This team can be hungry literally everybody. Yeah, they can
Speaker 1: beat anybody. But that's the that's the biggest if, and
Speaker 1: I think that's where a lot of the frustration lies
Speaker 1: for Cowboys Nation. Where it lies for me, everybody came
Speaker 1: to the house and picked through the food. It was
Speaker 1: already gone. The food gone, yeah right, and look here
Speaker 1: somebody back in the Cisco truck or whatever y'all leftovers. Now,
Speaker 1: let me ask you this I mean because when you
Speaker 1: watch and just we talk about identity of teams. All right,
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans, their identity is running the ball. You know
Speaker 1: what you're gonna get. And there are thirty two teams
Speaker 1: in the NFL, and then maybe there's only two teams
Speaker 1: in the NFL that you could point to to say
Speaker 1: that's their identity is running the ball, and we show
Speaker 1: what we expect to have smash mouth football be played
Speaker 1: everybody else. It's the disconnect that you're talking about. They're
Speaker 1: running team one week and then they're a passing game
Speaker 1: and they're passing team the next week. When I look
Speaker 1: at teams that like when going back to Green Bay
Speaker 1: with Davante Adams. If your defense says, look, we're gonna
Speaker 1: relegate all of our assets to stop this guy, what
Speaker 1: happens with the rest of the team. Other guys start
Speaker 1: to eat. Right, That hadn't been the case when teams
Speaker 1: are bracketing coop to take him away. Other guys should
Speaker 1: be eating Ceedee Lamb has been has benefited greatly from that.
Speaker 1: That's what we're asking for guys to do. If you
Speaker 1: go back to the Cowboys of old, teams loaded the
Speaker 1: box to stop in it. What did they do when
Speaker 1: they stopped in it? They gave Mike the ball. And
Speaker 1: if you try to stop Emitt and Mike, Alvin Harper
Speaker 1: and the tight ends eight, Look, that's where we're not seeing.
Speaker 1: We're not seeing that when you stop this one thing,
Speaker 1: can you make this one thing? Bury them on that?
Speaker 1: And that's that's Look, that's all we're asking for. And
Speaker 1: that's what we're looking for when we talk about continuity
Speaker 1: and complimentary football from this team, we're looking at it
Speaker 1: offensively and saying, look, man, these teams are willing to
Speaker 1: take their just willing to die and takes Zeke out
Speaker 1: of the game. Why don't the rest of these guys
Speaker 1: in and see? And that's why that's why I always
Speaker 1: get back to the question, and it's it's a frustrating
Speaker 1: question because I don't know if there's really a right answer.
Speaker 1: Why is that the case? Why are they not taking advantage?
Speaker 1: Because that's the way this roster was built. This is
Speaker 1: why I point the finger at Killing Moore. And I'm
Speaker 1: not pointing it at him, you know, in disgust, I'm
Speaker 1: just saying, you gotta get back on get back on it,
Speaker 1: because it's not a personnel issue. You don't have a
Speaker 1: personnel problem on this side of the ball. You don't
Speaker 1: that the scouting department, that the management, They've done an
Speaker 1: amazing job of filling this roster with as much talent
Speaker 1: as you can underneath the salary cap. Right, you have
Speaker 1: amazing receivers he has the last year. It's going to
Speaker 1: be like that asolutely. You have amazing receivers. You have
Speaker 1: an amazing duel in the backfield. Right, you have two, right,
Speaker 1: formerly three Pro bowlers on offensive line, Pro Bowl quarterback. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what the heck is the issue? Yeah, it's not personnel.
Speaker 1: Can be. No, it can't be. And I think one
Speaker 1: of the things that really troubles me is when you
Speaker 1: look over the first five six games of the season,
Speaker 1: the diversity in this play calling. I mean, we saw
Speaker 1: so many different formations, and I was worried about that.
Speaker 1: Hecke the hell of the gun, I was worried about that. Heck.
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying we hadn't seen him in the long.
Speaker 1: It was like, it's like Christmas, It's like my daughter,
Speaker 1: my daughter, not yet. Oh man, she's gonna pull out
Speaker 1: every dog on gift she had, right me, I like,
Speaker 1: I could keep some stuff away for a while, Right,
Speaker 1: I'll get to it later. I'll enjoy it later on.
Speaker 1: I don't want to enjoy everything right now as that's
Speaker 1: me my daughter. Everything's coming out, everything that she has,
Speaker 1: she's playing with it. And that's what I felt like
Speaker 1: early in the season. I was like, oh man, he's
Speaker 1: in his bag, but dog on it. How deep does
Speaker 1: that bag go? And I'm talking about how saying, I'm
Speaker 1: like saying it going out at some point empty. It's
Speaker 1: empty in there, right, he has to refill that thing.
Speaker 1: You got to restock it. Yeah, can you tell Isaiah's
Speaker 1: missing the holidays is too? That's I mean, that's that's
Speaker 1: that's great. I mean because it's truly that way. And
Speaker 1: I was like, you know, how long is he gonna
Speaker 1: What else does he have? Because man, you're coming out
Speaker 1: with a lot of different places. I hadn't seen that
Speaker 1: formation before. And I just think with Jarwin coming back,
Speaker 1: and we talked about him being back and what the
Speaker 1: diversify ying some of these looks with j'all and then
Speaker 1: Schultz uh not saying that either of these guys are
Speaker 1: superior blockers at all, but I just think when they
Speaker 1: go twelve personnel, they don't have to go jumbo. That
Speaker 1: changes how the defenses approached what we're doing as an offense.
Speaker 1: They see when they see that Hulk package, they crowd
Speaker 1: everything because they know we're gonna try and run. So
Speaker 1: are you hopeful that with Jarwin coming back? Possibly? Are
Speaker 1: you hopeful that this offense can get back where it
Speaker 1: needs to be. Well, I'm hoping that it gives Dak
Speaker 1: another option if anything. I look, when it comes down
Speaker 1: to both of our tight ends, I'm not under any
Speaker 1: illusion about their blocking. I need them to be blocking
Speaker 1: tight ends honestly, but they're not that a right you
Speaker 1: wish they were that, yeah, I know you wish that
Speaker 1: there was that there was One of our one of
Speaker 1: our friends, Derek just tweeted at us and he said,
Speaker 1: why can't we be more like this? Of course speaking
Speaker 1: about the Cowboys, and it's a quote tweet of Joe
Speaker 1: Burrows quote the other day, or he said, everybody knows
Speaker 1: that meme effort. Jamar's down there somewhere and it's basically
Speaker 1: like that. And Amari Cooper. So final question before we
Speaker 1: had into this this second break, But I mean, Amari Cooper,
Speaker 1: do you force feed him the ball to a fault?
Speaker 1: You don't have to to a fault, but I mean
Speaker 1: you need to get the ball in his hands. You're
Speaker 1: if you're throwing the ball thirty or eight forty times
Speaker 1: a game and he's only getting it three or four,
Speaker 1: that's a problem. That's a problem. You're throwing the ball
Speaker 1: forty times. You're giving your number one receiver, the man
Speaker 1: that you're paying to be the most dominant guy at
Speaker 1: that position, four times. Is there a possibility they're trying
Speaker 1: to keep him fresh going into the postseason. I just
Speaker 1: wanted to ask, No, I know it's a question, but now, no,
Speaker 1: getting him the ball, get him the ball? Do you
Speaker 1: if you play the Kansas City Chiefs, who do you
Speaker 1: know is getting the ball? Kelsey Kelsey Kelsey and Tyreek Hill. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's getting the ball. Find a way to stop him.
Speaker 1: But he's getting the dog on ball. Whether it's in
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, whether it's on a fly sweep,
Speaker 1: whether it's down the field on a big play, they're
Speaker 1: gonna try to get the ball in his hands. How
Speaker 1: many times? Ten times? Yeah, at least as much as
Speaker 1: they can, as much as they can. And guess what
Speaker 1: if you focus on him, then what Kelsey? Yeah, And
Speaker 1: that's the way. That's the where the NFL goes. And
Speaker 1: some of your good teams they have that the ability
Speaker 1: to go away from one one guy to another. Like
Speaker 1: I was just talking about it, just look a Mark
Speaker 1: Cooper man. He's been inconsistent himself. You know, we've had
Speaker 1: the role of Mark Cooper versus the home of Mark Cooper.
Speaker 1: We've had a lot of different things that we talked
Speaker 1: about about Number nineteen. I mean, he stucked it out
Speaker 1: through some injuries this season, but there's been some inconsistency
Speaker 1: in his play as well. You know, I understand, you
Speaker 1: know when he stands up and say, I could be
Speaker 1: the number one guy in the NFL anytime. I mean,
Speaker 1: but but come on, who's your number one receiver on
Speaker 1: this team right now? Cite Lamb. Cite Lamb. The numbers.
Speaker 1: The numbers say that he is. I'm buying significant margin. Two.
Speaker 1: I'm going with the numbers. I'm not going with anything else.
Speaker 1: But I want to know what your heart says. But
Speaker 1: what I'm saying still No, my heart says a Mark Cooper,
Speaker 1: but the numbers say ceedee lamb, And I agree, and
Speaker 1: I believe that it's it's going that way because US
Speaker 1: teams are taking Amark Cooper out. Yeah, with bracket coverage,
Speaker 1: DAK isn't forced feeding him. If DAK is trying to
Speaker 1: force feed of Mark Cooper, then that's interceptions because you're
Speaker 1: trying to throw into coverage and you and the question
Speaker 1: is going to be, well, you see Aaron Rodgers doing it.
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers force feeds. But guess what, he won't throw
Speaker 1: it to a fault and three covered by three people
Speaker 1: and willing to get that interception. If Joe Barrow is
Speaker 1: gonna say effort and throw it down there, hey, that
Speaker 1: must be nice to be him, you know. But we
Speaker 1: don't live in that same reality, dude. We got other
Speaker 1: guys besides the one guy. Yeah. To back up your point,
Speaker 1: Mark Cooper the game after he said I'm the best receiver.
Speaker 1: I want to be the best receiver in the NFL,
Speaker 1: he went eight receptions one hundred and twenty two yards
Speaker 1: in touchdown against Minnesota with Cooper Russian quarterback. After that
Speaker 1: thirty seven fifty one, forty one fifty one again eight
Speaker 1: eighty five after he complained a little bit, got seven
Speaker 1: receptions eighty five yards in a touchdown, and then last
Speaker 1: week three receptions in eighteen yards unacceptable. So it is
Speaker 1: it's inconsistent. But at the same time, I mean, the
Speaker 1: targets have been decently high the last four weeks seven, five, eleven,
Speaker 1: and seven, but you probably still need to get it
Speaker 1: more to him though. Seven you're throwing the ball forty times. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if you're throwing it forty times, which for the most parts,
Speaker 1: that's what Dad's been doing. If you're twenty one for
Speaker 1: twenty six, I'm not asking you to throw the ball
Speaker 1: to him eight eight, nine times. You're thrown the ball
Speaker 1: forty times. He needs to see the ball twenty percent
Speaker 1: of twenty five percent of the time. He had four
Speaker 1: targets in that game where he win twenty one of
Speaker 1: twenty six against the Eagles back in Week three, I'll
Speaker 1: take that all right. When we come back. What is
Speaker 1: your wish list on the offensive line? What do you
Speaker 1: want to see upfront from the Cowboys against the Eagles?
Speaker 1: Getting ready for the playoff push. When we come back

Speaker 1: to box the mic. Guys, did you see that the
Speaker 1: Washington football team might have up or might have spoiled
Speaker 1: their name? Release? You want to talk about it or
Speaker 1: you want to let it. You want to let it
Speaker 1: happen work, So schedule for announcement on February second. But
Speaker 1: CBS report came out that says that Washington is only
Speaker 1: filed for one website name. Oh, it's all public record,
Speaker 1: so it's not that hard. Come on, Yeah, why would
Speaker 1: you not try and get all of them? Like ten dollars? Yeah?
Speaker 1: What is it? The Washington Admirals? Yeah, I figured it
Speaker 1: was gonna be somewhere on on those lines. If you
Speaker 1: go to Washington Admirals dot comt com right now, it's
Speaker 1: a quidditch team, is it really? Yes, quidditch team. Maybe
Speaker 1: that maybe that's why they did it. Yeah, maybe they
Speaker 1: did that on purpose. I don't know. Maybe they didn't
Speaker 1: spoil it. But a lot of people are anybody a
Speaker 1: big Harry Potter fan know what quidditch is? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: big Harry Potter guy all the time, just like, yeah,
Speaker 1: what is it? Heckma's big. It's it's a made up
Speaker 1: sport in Harry Potter. Yes, okay, yeah, like brooms and
Speaker 1: a box, yeah, broom, Yeah, I know. I didn't know
Speaker 1: it was called quidditch. Yeah, that's quidditch. And they have
Speaker 1: like a they have a real version of it now
Speaker 1: that they play online college campuses, and they're definitely quidditch team.
Speaker 1: They're a quidditch franchise. So can't wait till they change
Speaker 1: their names. Nice. They gotta ride around on brooms while
Speaker 1: they're playing. That just sucks for them. Second, Oh gosh,
Speaker 1: The Admirals. The Admiral's final segment here, it's talking Cowboys,
Speaker 1: presented by Tostitos. So many Washington Admirals gosh uh wish
Speaker 1: list for the offensive line Cowboys giving up seventeen pressures
Speaker 1: against Arizona not good. Now, it's great there, guys. Uh heckmo,
Speaker 1: what do you want to see from the offensive line
Speaker 1: against Philadelphia that'll give you more confidence going into the playoffs? Well,
Speaker 1: whatever you do. And I saw Fletcher Cox was on
Speaker 1: that COVID list he was so if he if if
Speaker 1: Fletcher Cox is out of the field, and I guess
Speaker 1: that that would be a good thing for our offensive line.
Speaker 1: But still you have guys like Javon Hargraves that are
Speaker 1: dogs and will be there. And we saw the pressure
Speaker 1: that he presented against us the last time we played
Speaker 1: these guys. Look, I just having Tyrn Smith back. I'm
Speaker 1: really grateful. It's about him being back. But offensive line wise,
Speaker 1: I mean Connor Williams, man, he's got he's got to
Speaker 1: stop with the holding penalty. It's be honest, whatever it is,
Speaker 1: with the off side, the snap or however it's going.
Speaker 1: These guys have got to get this together. And Leo
Speaker 1: Collins man, I just feel like last the last game, man,
Speaker 1: he number seventy one did not have his best game.
Speaker 1: But I want to see them with the same list
Speaker 1: of you say, seventeen pressures, So I'm gonna say run
Speaker 1: it back. That's not a good thing. But I want
Speaker 1: to see that same five together again. It won't it
Speaker 1: won't be that that type of pressure. Arizona just said,
Speaker 1: we're blitzing. We don't care who you are, we don't
Speaker 1: care what what what you know says after your name
Speaker 1: when they can, but they won't, they don't, they don't.
Speaker 1: That's not the Arizona going into it though. Yeah, Arizona blitzer.
Speaker 1: Arizona blitzers in and they like to run. They like
Speaker 1: to run that dude Buddha Baker all over the place.
Speaker 1: So we know that they bring pressure in that regard. Now, Philadelphia,
Speaker 1: they don't have to do that because they got two
Speaker 1: freaking houses and the inside uh and then inside techniques,
Speaker 1: and obviously Cox and Hargrave, those two dudes right there,
Speaker 1: the pressure that they create interiorly is a problem. And
Speaker 1: where are we weakest? Okay, there's obviously things we broke
Speaker 1: down on the film room this week. If you guys
Speaker 1: have had opportunity to check that out, go watch that,
Speaker 1: because we show one play where Hardgrave and Cox literally
Speaker 1: just put their feet in the ground and just drive
Speaker 1: the offensive linement back. We also show on their offensively
Speaker 1: on our old line where Connor Williams and tire Bettage
Speaker 1: are not passing off passing off linemen like they need to.
Speaker 1: You know, we have five guys protecting five people are
Speaker 1: presenting pressure, and somebody's running free. Those are things that
Speaker 1: can't happen. Now. Obviously Arizona brought a lot more than that.
Speaker 1: They brought more than we can block a lot of times.
Speaker 1: But when you have your five guys, and you have
Speaker 1: your five guys to protect against their best five and
Speaker 1: you still miss on your assignments, those are the things
Speaker 1: that you can't really have nor nor really account for. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and that look, man, even going back to the Arizona
Speaker 1: game and I know we're done with it and moving
Speaker 1: on to the Eagles, it's just can't point out, can't
Speaker 1: help but point out those penalties on those key runs
Speaker 1: that we had. If you don't have two of those penalties,
Speaker 1: you convert and have an opportunity to score. And now
Speaker 1: we're not even talking about we went We're talking about, oh,
Speaker 1: we want an ugly game. Yeah, and we're apologized. Yeah, man,
Speaker 1: we're going into that. But look here's going I personally
Speaker 1: just want to see this offensive line fire off the ball,
Speaker 1: get this running game back, going play a clean half.
Speaker 1: That maybe what that's all they play. Guys like Tyron
Speaker 1: Smith may be pulled after a quarter or two of work.
Speaker 1: You know, I just want to see them play a
Speaker 1: clean half of football and let's just get this running
Speaker 1: game going. Do you see that happening against this defensive line? Though? Um,
Speaker 1: they have to because guess what, it doesn't get any
Speaker 1: easier with the defensive lines. They could be coming in
Speaker 1: town the way that it fits right now, the team
Speaker 1: that you're going to play in the playoff, maybe the
Speaker 1: Rams or Arizona, all right, yes so, or San Francisco,
Speaker 1: you're gonna probably see a top notch offensive line. But
Speaker 1: those are edges right for the most part, except for
Speaker 1: La except for Lay, most of those guys present pressure
Speaker 1: on the edges. The interior pressure is a whole other animal.
Speaker 1: We saw that with Chris Jones. Yeah, it's a it's
Speaker 1: a whole another animal. Because if they're strong, if that's
Speaker 1: where they're strongest and that's where we're weakest, then there's
Speaker 1: a problem there. And outside pressure has given this offensive
Speaker 1: line some flat But I feel okay about Collins and Smith,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So even if they have
Speaker 1: their best guys out there. I guess whether our best
Speaker 1: linemen are out there too, unless you want to come
Speaker 1: on the right side and face and face Martin. Good luck,
Speaker 1: you know. But when you started talking about the center
Speaker 1: and the left guard, even though we got where there
Speaker 1: was better played by counter Williams, there's still communication issues
Speaker 1: and that is something that has to be shared up.
Speaker 1: So communication issues plus the strongest defenders being on that
Speaker 1: on that interior line, that's a problem. My confidence is
Speaker 1: in we've done it before, yep, verst them earlier, and
Speaker 1: we talked about what Zeke did and what Pollard did
Speaker 1: and that we had some strong inside runs and we
Speaker 1: definitely switched it up inside and outside. And so that's
Speaker 1: the only reason why I feel the confident in this game.
Speaker 1: And again just going back to it at some point
Speaker 1: after this week, everybody's a dog and you're gonna at
Speaker 1: some point it's just gonna be what it's gonna be.
Speaker 1: And whatever is that you whatever you've shown on film
Speaker 1: as a weakness will be exploited. Oh and there's plenty
Speaker 1: of trust me, there's plenty of assistance and the data
Speaker 1: guys that are sitting up there watching to all they
Speaker 1: do is watch film and plug numbers, and they say
Speaker 1: when you come out in this or if you run
Speaker 1: this stunt, this percentage of the time you get home.
Speaker 1: Like there's so much data that is collected as conveyed
Speaker 1: over to the coach staff and then down to the
Speaker 1: players that is absolutely insane. And you can't how many
Speaker 1: teams change what they do when they come to the
Speaker 1: None of you are who you are. You are who
Speaker 1: you are by them. You might throw a little a
Speaker 1: little twinge, and now you might throw a motion, you know,
Speaker 1: change your formation, but you are who you are. And
Speaker 1: here we go one final test before that playoff run.
Speaker 1: We'll see how that goes for the Cowboys. We've got
Speaker 1: one final say up with your chest Friday of the
Speaker 1: regular season and then we get into playoff time. Here
