This feels like one of those days where 13 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 1: another week you have your pre workout. No yeas am 14 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,480 Speaker 1: I jack? They bugging? Yeah? Yeah? I thought about it, 15 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 1: but I didn't want to come in too hot on 16 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 1: your boys a day, you know what I mean. I 17 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 1: literally at five forty five am this morning, in the 18 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 1: middle of the class, I was about to grab I 19 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 1: was about to grab my energy drink, and I was like, 20 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 1: you know, what Ky might not be ready for the 21 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 1: Sea four this morning. He couldn't handle it. Yeah, I 22 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,959 Speaker 1: really could not. Ears were burning. Yeah, the ears were 23 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,760 Speaker 1: burning by the end of the show, and then I 24 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,679 Speaker 1: got ask I got upstairs and I felt like I 25 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 1: was going to fall over. That was not great. I 26 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 1: didn't have anything to eat that morning too. I think 27 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 1: that was probably the problem with that, because I just 28 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 1: chugged half of that Sea four drink and Energy Drink 29 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 1: ride on an empty stomach after waking up and come 30 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 1: into the studio. You get rough p one that didn't 31 00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 1: work out. Yeah, I'm good. Actually, yeah, you got plenty 32 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 1: of energy. Actually yeah, huh, you got plenty of energy. 33 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: Good to go. We canna say that you got a 34 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 1: two year old. That's that's always negotiable, but I'm making it. 35 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 1: You could tell as soon as you took that thing, 36 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 1: your people started just going my Ladys style. Zowski. How 37 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,360 Speaker 1: you feeling today? I feel great today. Actually, that's probably 38 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,799 Speaker 1: the best I've felt in the last week, because I've 39 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 1: been kind of kicking a cold all week long and 40 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 1: I've had an allophy. I think it was allergies because 41 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,639 Speaker 1: usually every fall, like for a week, I it just 42 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 1: knocks me out and this might have been that week, 43 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: but I feel better today. So my windows open the 44 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 1: last few days, just enjoying the cool weathers. Turn my 45 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:49,679 Speaker 1: off St. Crisp.

The final 55 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: score from Lincoln Financial Field Rob Phillips. Any news and 56 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: notes for us to hit today. Nothing too much new 57 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 1: from Jerry Jones on the Fan just a few minutes 58 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 1: ago with Sean and RJ. He did say kind of 59 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: echoing what Mike McCarthy said yesterday about Dak's status for 60 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: the week. He said, Dak's determined to play, and he 61 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: thinks he's gonna get there. They haven't said, oh, he's 62 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 1: starting Sunday against the Detroit Lions. But with a good 63 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: week of practice, I think that's certainly the plan. Mike 64 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: said yesterday he's gonna have a full throwing load on 65 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: Wednesday and that he should be cleared in time for 66 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: Wednesday's practice to you know, do whatever he needs to 67 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: do out there and get ready to play the game. 68 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 1: So they'll just see how it goes. The other thing 69 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: that stood out to me, noc I would say from 70 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 1: Jerry as he said, you know, we're a better in 71 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: so many words, we're a better football team now than 72 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 1: we were before Dak got hurt. So there's a better 73 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: group around him. You think about the number of young 74 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 1: guys who have played now six games this year, and 75 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 1: so they're in a better spot for him coming back 76 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: to make a run here. I agree with that that statement. 77 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,359 Speaker 1: It's something that Mike McCarthy said yesterday in his press conference. 78 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: Keep in mind, when Dak Prescott last played, it was 79 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: Week one and there was a lot to be figured out. 80 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 1: On the offensive side of the ball. You had to 81 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 1: figure out the wide receiver corps, which was without Michael Gallop. 82 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 1: Tyler Smith had spent the entirety of training camp at 83 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: left guard. He was being pop back out the left tackle. 84 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,040 Speaker 1: Connor McGovern got some reps in August at center, but 85 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 1: now he's being moved back to the definitive left guard. 86 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 1: What's going on there? So, the last time Dak Prescott 87 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,360 Speaker 1: was on the field for the Cowboys, there was a 88 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,159 Speaker 1: there were a whole lot of question marks, but now 89 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 1: still have some question marks, but not as many. We 90 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 1: know what Tyler Smith can do at left tackle, We're 91 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: starting to see what Connor McGovern can be at left guard. 92 00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: And Jason Peters is in the mix again after return 93 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 1: last week from that that chest injury that that cost 94 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 1: him to Los Angeles game. So it looks like the 95 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 1: offensive line is is much more set than it was 96 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: back in Week one, and that's only going to work 97 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,920 Speaker 1: toward helping Dak Prescott get back into prime form more quickly. Now. 98 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,600 Speaker 1: As Isaiah, myself, Colin and Rob have continuously said, do 99 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,040 Speaker 1: we expect Dak Prescott to hit the ground running. We 100 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 1: would love for it to happen, but we don't expect 101 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 1: that that's going to be the case. He still has 102 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 1: to get the timing, like Mike McCarthy said, with the offense, uh, 103 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,279 Speaker 1: get the timing back with Ceedee Lamb, Michael Gallup, Noah Brown, 104 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 1: who's basically now the definitive wide receiver three. Obviously that 105 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 1: was not the case in twenty twenty one. Isaiah is 106 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,679 Speaker 1: doing the bugout look. So I'm going to toss to Isaiah. 107 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:43,160 Speaker 1: You know, I want to know what that looks. Yeah, 108 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: what was the we questioning Noah's arc question said he's 109 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,039 Speaker 1: definitive number three? I just yeah, I think he's number two. Huh. 110 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: You think he's number two? Orderline one, that's what he's saying. 111 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 1: You think he's one. Okay, Now I'm gonna bug you 112 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:03,600 Speaker 1: with with the previous regime. Let's say that with the rush, 113 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: with the rush hour, that's number one rush hours. The stats, 114 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 1: I know you're not thirty some yards on that last 115 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,160 Speaker 1: drive like they didn't terrorists. We talked about this a 116 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,160 Speaker 1: couple weeks ago. We're talking about quarterbacks and they have 117 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 1: their guys cite. Lamb had four catches for thirty some 118 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 1: our yards before that last game. He has one hundred 119 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 1: and twenty more yards and another touchdown and thirteen further 120 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 1: receptions than Noah Brown. More attempts, probably too, more targets 121 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 1: for sure, because he's a number two, Noah Brown has 122 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,160 Speaker 1: a higher catcher percentage. I mean maybe I don't know. 123 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,360 Speaker 1: Let me let me look at the targets. Let's be 124 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:45,600 Speaker 1: clear here walking down that there, Rob Yeah, I'll tell 125 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 1: you what y'all take. Noah Brown and I thrown the 126 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,480 Speaker 1: ball and I'll tell you most of the time he 127 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,359 Speaker 1: gonna come down with it, and at times he doesn't. 128 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 1: It's a quarterback's fault. It's a ricky Bobby, I know, 129 00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 1: but I don't know what to do with my hands. 130 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 1: We love Noah, we love absolutely. I am extremely interested 131 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 1: to see who becomes the most targeted when QB one 132 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 1: comes back, because last year it was it was Dalton. 133 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 1: But something else that stuck out with Jerry's interview this 134 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 1: morning is he said there's a quote unquote question mark 135 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: about the return of Dalton Shots from his injury, as in, 136 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 1: will he be back on the field for the lines? 137 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 1: Where will he not? And what really stuck out was 138 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: the fact that Jerry used the word surprised when he 139 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 1: described Dalton Shots being made inactive after what was his 140 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 1: practice last week? Limited? Limited full? Uh? And then he 141 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 1: was inactive on Sunday, which okay, um, But then that 142 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 1: led you to believe it's like, okay, well that was 143 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 1: unexpected for us, but they knew something. Okay, there you go. 144 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 1: But then you hear Jerry this morning saying, well, that 145 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 1: was a bit of a surprise, and then your eyes 146 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: kind of you know, get white, like okay, so what 147 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 1: do we okay? So interesting interesting things. He was not 148 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 1: He did not have an injury designation for correct And 149 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 1: what Mike said yesterday was he he likened it to 150 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: Dak like he's healthy enough, but it's a timing thing. 151 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 1: It just didn't feel right or something like that coming 152 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 1: off this knee injury. I'm about to read as his 153 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 1: mind because I who are on the same page when 154 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 1: Jerry said that this morning, and this is me Now 155 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 1: I'm wondering out loud. I was wondering quietly, but let 156 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:31,559 Speaker 1: me let me let me wonder. I'm wondering if because 157 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,839 Speaker 1: we talked about one side of the coin, in that 158 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,839 Speaker 1: it's a franchise tag gear for for dawn shows, he 159 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,680 Speaker 1: can't afford to not be on the field. But then again, 160 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: flip it up to the other side of the field, 161 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 1: the other side of the coin. He cannot afford to 162 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:48,199 Speaker 1: play hurt and see his value diminished. Then you look 163 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,840 Speaker 1: at the last couple of games he gets out there, 164 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,680 Speaker 1: he's trying to battle through it, but he's not Cooper's guy, 165 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 1: so he's not getting the targets, which then devalues the 166 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 1: purpose of him fighting through the injuries. So maybe this 167 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 1: is just me wondering out loud. Maybe don't shows. It's like, well, 168 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 1: you know what, until qv one gets back, I don't 169 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 1: see the value in fighting through this spring PCL And 170 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 1: you know, call me when forward's back under center. Oh 171 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 1: now I'm wondering out loud. Okay, So that's not that's 172 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:25,319 Speaker 1: not concrete. That's just your process. We're building a contiracy series. 173 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 1: It's me wondering out loud. We we've talked about this 174 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:32,319 Speaker 1: before though around separate other positions that are looking for 175 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:36,079 Speaker 1: contract renewals, like Dalton Schultze is this season. Most of 176 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,599 Speaker 1: the time, even if you're banged up, you want to 177 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 1: play because that's gonna try and force your your hand 178 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,719 Speaker 1: and negotiations as well as would you see it with 179 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 1: last year Ezekiel that wasn't even end into a contract. 180 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 1: Nego track contract negotiation always, it's always in a contract negotiation, 181 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 1: you gotta be you gotta be able to check those 182 00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 1: years up. So that's the reason why you saw him 183 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 1: push through last year, aside from the fact he's out 184 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 1: there trying to give it his all. I mean that's 185 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: not but he was, like he was about the money. 186 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 1: He was still getting his handoffs. Yeah, he was still 187 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 1: getting his hands because I mean he's a dog, so 188 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 1: I mean he's but he's he was putting out. So 189 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 1: it's a counter argument, possibly to the situation that you're 190 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 1: proposing right now. Zeke was out there trying to do 191 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,320 Speaker 1: everything he could. Even though we everybody in the world 192 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 1: knew that he was banged up and he was nowhere 193 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 1: near one hundred percent, he was still giving you what 194 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 1: he had. So Dalton Schultz not available, Dak Prescott looks 195 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 1: like he's on his way back. Anything else from News 196 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 1: and Notes yesterday, That's kind of the ones that stuck 197 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,679 Speaker 1: out to me. I mean, we're in Dak mode here, 198 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 1: but I I would be shocked if he's not starting 199 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 1: in the Sunday stunting. Yeah, So how do you guys 200 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 1: think the young tit Ends played in the game speak? 201 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 1: I was just about to ask answer yes, yes, elaborate 202 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 1: on that yes, because I liked Ferguson as a receiver 203 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,959 Speaker 1: because he's been that all all around you just like 204 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 1: tight end. That tight end or that touchdown was sick. 205 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie to you. I saw somebody on Twitter. 206 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 1: I believe it was our friend Stephen, who actually went 207 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 1: to North Texas a couple of years after I did, 208 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,679 Speaker 1: or maybe before I can't remember, but he goes. He 209 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 1: called it. He called it the Jacin Bake, and I 210 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 1: was like, Oh, that's good. That was that was he 211 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 1: did a euro step with a football. Yeah, he's gonna 212 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 1: say it was like James hardenstyle or something. It's awareness on. 213 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,840 Speaker 1: That was crazy. But I thought he showed me something 214 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,960 Speaker 1: as a receiver in this game that I hadn't seen 215 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 1: yet from Jake Ferguson specifically. And then I saw Peyton 216 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 1: Hendershot show me something that we did expect from a 217 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 1: blocking standpoint. They put him in some tough situations blocking 218 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,719 Speaker 1: and it did not go well on multiple occasions. I 219 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 1: mean I charted at least three or four. I don't 220 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:46,439 Speaker 1: have my film notebook in front of me, but I 221 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 1: had three or four snaps where Hendershot got beat and 222 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 1: got beat bad as a blocker. Twice. Twice it was 223 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 1: in Max's protection and he was with Sean McEwan uh, 224 00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 1: and both him and mckewan just kind of got all 225 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,320 Speaker 1: swords and just unraveled and it didn't really look great. 226 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:06,839 Speaker 1: And you know what for me that we knew that 227 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 1: that's the case, that's right, We knew that. So it's 228 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 1: a situation where I would lean more towards criticizing the 229 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 1: scheme and that portion, because again, you got you know 230 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 1: that Peyton Hendershot is not great at blocking, and credit 231 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 1: to the rookie because he willingly admits it. He says 232 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 1: he's working to get better at it, and we've seen 233 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,080 Speaker 1: at times over the course of this his young career 234 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,320 Speaker 1: six weeks in that he has had some solid blocks, 235 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 1: but we've also seen him miss on some more than 236 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 1: than he's been solid on. But I think it's going 237 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 1: to continue to be a progression. That's not the strength 238 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,079 Speaker 1: of his game. The strength of his game is the 239 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 1: fact that he's a down the field threat. He's a 240 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,319 Speaker 1: guy who can get separation from you know, linebackers and 241 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 1: defensive backs for that matter. I can't stress enough how 242 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 1: much I'd love his quickness out of breaks. It is 243 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 1: very receiver like. It is not very tight end like. 244 00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,200 Speaker 1: But what you saw was, like you said, Kyle, Jake 245 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 1: Ferguson show, would you an added aspect. We knew that 246 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 1: Jake Ferguson could make some plays as a receiver, we 247 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 1: didn't know he had dumb moves, right, So if Jake 248 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 1: Ferguson is going to start busting out the moves in 249 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 1: addition to being at least a solid blocker, now you're 250 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:18,720 Speaker 1: really talking about you know, tighten one question mark twenty 251 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 1: twenty three. Yeah, right, I mean, that's that's the discussion 252 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 1: that needs really a question. Though it's always a question 253 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,599 Speaker 1: until it's no longer a course, because I think you 254 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 1: could always a question until it's not a question. Even 255 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:31,839 Speaker 1: if yeah, even if Dalton Schultz does not get a 256 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 1: long term deal here, fine, they could still franchise him 257 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 1: a second time. Now you know he doesn't want that. 258 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 1: He didn't want to be franchise the first time. Who does? 259 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 1: But it is an option for the team. I mean, 260 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 1: Dad got franchise twice. They ultimately got a deal done, 261 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 1: but I think I think Tank might have got a 262 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,599 Speaker 1: franchise twice anyway, So it's a it's an option and 263 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,959 Speaker 1: the weapon asked, that's what it was, the shoulders. Yeah, 264 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 1: and they got the got the deal done. But to 265 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,839 Speaker 1: you guys, point like, it feels like they've brought in 266 00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 1: Dalty slash Jarwin two point zero at these two because 267 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 1: of what their skill sets are. And I agree with 268 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 1: no Ce like hinder shots receiver like ability is more 269 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:10,679 Speaker 1: so than what Jarwin is. And he's a better athlete 270 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 1: than Jarwin was here, um, but more agile the other things. Yeah. 271 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 1: The other thing Mike did say about him though, is 272 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 1: he's playing a little too fast, you know, and he's 273 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 1: gotten some penalties, that illegal motion penalty. He's just he's anty. 274 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 1: He's a little anty that yet happy feed on the 275 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage because he knows what he's capable of. 276 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 1: He knows the matchups that he has. He can beat 277 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 1: most safeties, he can beat almost every linebacker. So when 278 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 1: you know you have that capability and you haven't had 279 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 1: the opportunity to show that and display that yet, you're 280 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: you're a little hype. You're like, come on, come on, 281 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 1: especially when you know you're in motion and the play 282 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 1: is like designed. You're looking at the at the at 283 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 1: the coverage and you're like oh this, this is coming 284 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 1: to me, you know, based upon coverage, if the if 285 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 1: the if, the concept is created for you to get 286 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 1: the ball. So him coming in motion, I bet you 287 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 1: he was about to get the balls. Young tight ends 288 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 1: in this game alone on the young tight ends both 289 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 1: make plays in space, Jake Ferguson only touchdown for example. 290 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 1: You saw them high point catches, like really climbed the 291 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 1: ladder Fergie again. So yeah, and you know when it 292 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 1: comes to the blocking, probablys or like they rove at 293 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 1: the moment of Peyton him to show you know what 294 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 1: you got there. It's a work in progress, but the 295 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 1: fact that he can do what he can do as 296 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 1: a receiver compliments Jake Ferguson's ability to both block and 297 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 1: be a receiver very very well. And you know, yeah, 298 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 1: and keep an eye out on Sean Mcowen. He's still developmental, 299 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 1: but he showed some things. So yeah, So two stats 300 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 1: really jumped off the page to me about Jake Ferguson 301 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 1: following this one. Ferguson is the first Cowboys rookie tight 302 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 1: end to catch a touchdown pass since the late Gavin 303 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 1: Escobar did in twenty third. Yeah, so that one first 304 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: off jumped out because it was Gavin Escobar, but also 305 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 1: it had been nine years since the Cowboys had had 306 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 1: a rookie tight end catch a touchdown pass even longer 307 00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 1: because Jake Ferguson's four receptions on Sunday Night, we're the 308 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 1: most in a single game by a Cowboys rookie tight 309 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 1: end since one. Jason Witten had five catches in two 310 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 1: thousand and three as a rookie, So you had in 311 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 1: two thousand and three and then Gavin Escobar in twenty thirteen. 312 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 1: Is here Jake Ferguson's among both of those? Is there 313 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:24,480 Speaker 1: an asterisk euro step in the record books? Now you 314 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 1: gotta putt with the euro step? With with with the 315 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 1: question slash best euro step? Do you think Fergie was 316 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 1: practicing that in the mirror up to this point he 317 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 1: was just waiting for his opportunity. That was sweets and 318 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 1: he does it again, it'll be a signature of his 319 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 1: like that. You know how they have like the Dirk 320 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 1: shirts where he's like leaning backwards and then the Jordan 321 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 1: logo and stuff. It'd be the Ferguson like euro step. 322 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 1: That'd be his signature move love. He needs to go 323 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 1: ahead and coin that You're welcome, Jake.

Please? Yeah? Okay? I wish. 401 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:31,440 Speaker 1: I wish my head coach would kind of channel his 402 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 1: enner Jimmy Johnson and Bill Parcels and kind of get 403 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 1: mad at these players when they commit the silly penalties, 404 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,920 Speaker 1: beat up saying the Parsley penalties. I mean, come on, 405 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:43,920 Speaker 1: you got to show some kind of emotion, man, and 406 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,640 Speaker 1: I mean it costing us, so it can't continue to happen, 407 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 1: and you shall be working on them with getting better. 408 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:51,680 Speaker 1: So that's the problem for me, and I hope we 409 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 1: fix it. I hope and wish my quarterback the love 410 00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 1: besides the woman loved my life, love of my life, 411 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:05,440 Speaker 1: that Frankcott go back healthy and does what he's supposed 412 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 1: to do and leave this team. And I need three phases, 413 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,160 Speaker 1: the defense, the special teams, in the offense to show 414 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,880 Speaker 1: up every game. I don't want to hang my head 415 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:16,479 Speaker 1: on a defense. I don't want to hang my head 416 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 1: on the offense like we did last year. I don't 417 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 1: want to hang my head on special teams. I want 418 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,440 Speaker 1: all three to show up. And I believe with that 419 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:26,359 Speaker 1: and that formula, we can do damage. And to watching 420 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 1: the show yesterday, I heard some things with our Patrick. 421 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,480 Speaker 1: Both of you guys made good points, but I kind 422 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 1: of tend to side with Patrick on the fact that 423 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 1: I wasn't too and pressed for Philly. I'm sorry, I 424 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 1: don't think they throw it off by there. I don't 425 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 1: think they did, because when you had twenty seventeen, it's 426 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:46,080 Speaker 1: some throwing off. I mean, you got a backup quarterback 427 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 1: that did this with three turnovers and we were in 428 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:54,159 Speaker 1: the game. So let's just go ahead and then Dallas 429 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 1: and beat the brakes off them next time, all right, guys, 430 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,199 Speaker 1: taught y'all in the New year man. Sounds good, Anthony, 431 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,240 Speaker 1: and get luck with the night shift and that. Yeah, 432 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 1: you'll have to, I guess watch it on the on demand, 433 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:07,160 Speaker 1: which we love having your lives. But great call. Brob. 434 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,880 Speaker 1: Did he miss anything on this Christmas wish wish list? 435 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,200 Speaker 1: Because I thought that sounded pretty good to me. He 436 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 1: nailed it. Stop the penalties, um tackle better, like that's 437 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:18,720 Speaker 1: been their calling card on this defense, and that's the 438 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 1: what they talked about all week because we have to tackle. 439 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:22,919 Speaker 1: We have to tackle, we have to tackle. If they 440 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:24,920 Speaker 1: didn't dan Quinn, I think he said they missed ten. Yeah, 441 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 1: he said they missed ten, same as the same number 442 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:29,959 Speaker 1: as they had against the Giants. And he said they 443 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:31,879 Speaker 1: were as a defense, they were pissed that that was 444 00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 1: the That's what dan Quinn led with Hill press conference yesterday. 445 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:37,919 Speaker 1: He said, we're pissed. Um. You don't get and these 446 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:39,680 Speaker 1: are his quotes. You don't get a paddle on the 447 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:44,960 Speaker 1: back for uh being halfway successful. Uh. He said he 448 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 1: wants his unit to be a kick ass crew front 449 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 1: to back the entirety of the game, not have weak points. 450 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:56,160 Speaker 1: And he really really started harping on, uh, the well 451 00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,359 Speaker 1: Isaiah was talking about on yesterday, as far as the 452 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 1: being close, getting within two when he's seventeen, and then 453 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 1: allowing that touchdown drive to kind of put the game 454 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 1: away for Philly. He really harped on that, and you 455 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 1: could kind of see, even though you know DQ has 456 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 1: a mostly calm demeanor, you could see the flames in him, 457 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:13,560 Speaker 1: a little little bit of fire he was. And he 458 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 1: said yesterday he said, you know, guys, I know ninety 459 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,880 Speaker 1: nine point nine percent of the time I'm half glass full, 460 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:20,360 Speaker 1: and I'm an optimist. He was like, but I get 461 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,359 Speaker 1: pissed off too, and that end quote, He's like, and 462 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:25,400 Speaker 1: I get pissed off too. So, ladies and gentlemen, DQ 463 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 1: is Uh, he's pissed. So you might see that against 464 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:33,160 Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions this Sunday. What do you think I said, 465 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,480 Speaker 1: I think that my man's is used to getting a 466 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 1: lot of Christmas gifts because I only got one. What's that? 467 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 1: Growing up? I mean, my wish for the Dallas Cowboys 468 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 1: is to score points. That's my wish for the Dallas Cowboys. 469 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 1: Score points. You know, And I know a lot of 470 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:52,960 Speaker 1: people are like, I don't. People don't have to agree 471 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 1: with me. That's why we all have our own, you know, opinions. 472 00:24:55,359 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 1: But Dallas, m how can I say this? Okay? All right? 473 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 1: By saying it, they're struggling offensively still, yeah, I mean, 474 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 1: and it's and it's not okay. And I know everybody's 475 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,520 Speaker 1: excited because Dak's coming back, but the reality is, you know, 476 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:17,680 Speaker 1: what we have seen from from Dak this year isn't 477 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,680 Speaker 1: much more than what we've seen from Cooper Rush this year. 478 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,200 Speaker 1: So I mean, I know it's only one game dose 479 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 1: that we had of him, but we scored how many 480 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:29,159 Speaker 1: points in that game? Three? Three? So I get it. 481 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,560 Speaker 1: Everybody's getting the quarterback back, and they're excited and they're 482 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 1: hyping the're talking about the possibilities and things that he's 483 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,480 Speaker 1: done in the past, but from what we've seen this year, 484 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:37,880 Speaker 1: we still can be base it off of what we've 485 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,320 Speaker 1: seen this year. So are you saying, tap the brakes 486 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:45,640 Speaker 1: on the dak is back bandwagon and let's be excited 487 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 1: off be excited that your QB one is back. I mean, 488 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 1: who wouldn't be that. Who wouldn't be excited that your 489 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 1: that your starter is back and your game guy. I mean, 490 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 1: he's your most valuable asset that you have in this 491 00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,639 Speaker 1: organization at the player position. There's no doubt about that. 492 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,440 Speaker 1: But let's not act like we were lighting up the 493 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,840 Speaker 1: scoreboard when he was present. He had a full, healthy 494 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:08,359 Speaker 1: off season, Yeah, full camp full OTA's came in and scored, 495 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,479 Speaker 1: we scored three. Yeah, and down the stretch last year, 496 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:13,880 Speaker 1: the offense wasn't nearly as good as they were before 497 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:15,680 Speaker 1: the bye week last year, although he did finish with 498 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 1: thirty five touchdown passes. I'm just I'm just a realist, 499 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,040 Speaker 1: you know. I don't I don't lean on either side 500 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,960 Speaker 1: of the fence. I'm just saying what we've seen isn't 501 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,119 Speaker 1: what it's been. Yeah. So I think a lot of 502 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:28,119 Speaker 1: people are with the expectation that is going to be 503 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 1: back to you know, you know early last season throwing 504 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,440 Speaker 1: lighting up the scoreboard and you know, all these jars, 505 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:34,760 Speaker 1: and it's like, I don't think that it's going to 506 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 1: be that much of a light switch immediately, at least 507 00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 1: I'm I hear you and making you make great points. 508 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:46,200 Speaker 1: I'm excited about him coming back into the formula that 509 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,920 Speaker 1: they've created Offensively. I think they're doing a better job 510 00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 1: scheming things up to whoever's the quarterback to have success. 511 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,880 Speaker 1: And I hear I've heard this in the last couple 512 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 1: of weeks with Cooper Russian here, It's like, well, but 513 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:02,200 Speaker 1: Dak's making this much money, why should they run kind 514 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,399 Speaker 1: of this run first offense and play your defense if 515 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 1: you're you know, he's supposed to be the guy and 516 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,360 Speaker 1: all that. Hey Man, Troy Aikman had a running game, 517 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:10,399 Speaker 1: Troikeman had a hell of a defense. Troichman had a 518 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,040 Speaker 1: hell of an offensive line. Like, how's it working out 519 00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:15,480 Speaker 1: for Aaron Rodgers right now without kind of the same 520 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,960 Speaker 1: pieces he's used to playing with in the past. It's 521 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 1: okay to have a good system around a quarterback. I'm 522 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,159 Speaker 1: excited about what they've I think they found that can 523 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 1: work with that coming in as a better player to 524 00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:28,320 Speaker 1: run that offense. Yeah. You know what scares me a 525 00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:30,400 Speaker 1: little bit about this game coming up and we'll dive 526 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:34,119 Speaker 1: into this on Wednesday and Thursday. It's I got this 527 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 1: gut feeling. It's bubble guts. It's barbecue in the Miller light. 528 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 1: It's the you look at the coffee of Miller light. 529 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,040 Speaker 1: I guess I should say barbecue of Miller light actually 530 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:48,440 Speaker 1: sounds great. It feels like last week are last year. 531 00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 1: It feels like you come off of that Minnesota game. Now, 532 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,000 Speaker 1: you won the Minnesota game with Cooper Rush. You came 533 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:55,720 Speaker 1: off of a big win. It was a huge game 534 00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,840 Speaker 1: in prime time. This one you didn't win. But then 535 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 1: what happened the week after that, Denver Broncos came into town. 536 00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:04,840 Speaker 1: You had back to back home games against teams that 537 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:08,440 Speaker 1: were winnable games Denver and Atlanta. You felt like, oh, okay, 538 00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:11,000 Speaker 1: we're fine, We're getting Dak back. We're gonna win this game. 539 00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,040 Speaker 1: We're gonna win it by a hundred. It's not gonna happen. 540 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 1: That's what this reminds me of. I'm not going to 541 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,720 Speaker 1: lie to you. It's a big time Prime primetime game 542 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 1: on the road. Then you have back to back games 543 00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:23,280 Speaker 1: at home against winnable opponents. You get Dak Prescott back 544 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,240 Speaker 1: for the first one, and you're gonna beat the Lions 545 00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:28,840 Speaker 1: by a hundred. Don't count out this game as a 546 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,880 Speaker 1: close game. Well first, don't do it, first and foremost, 547 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,119 Speaker 1: And I've said this at several points when we were 548 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,479 Speaker 1: doing our Friday predictions when it comes to the Lions. 549 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:38,880 Speaker 1: And I'm a huge fan of Dan Campbell, and if 550 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 1: you're a Cowboys fan, you should be a fan of 551 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 1: Dan Campbell as well. But he has the Lions as scrappy, 552 00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:48,480 Speaker 1: like you saw what happened last week. Okay, fine, you 553 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:50,200 Speaker 1: saw what happened, you know, before they went into the 554 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 1: bye week. Not pretty. But this is a Lions team 555 00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:56,160 Speaker 1: that can push you to the limit, and they will 556 00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:58,960 Speaker 1: scratch and they will claw, and they will they will 557 00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 1: bite at your knee caps and try to get the 558 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,640 Speaker 1: win if at all possible. So, and I kind of 559 00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:09,800 Speaker 1: adopting and I accentuating I should say, as Isaiah's point is, 560 00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:13,120 Speaker 1: you have to respect these opponents and the Lions. It 561 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,600 Speaker 1: could be viewed as a trap game, but again I 562 00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 1: don't view that there's a such thing when you have 563 00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 1: a Michael Parsons on your on your defense, and especially 564 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:24,480 Speaker 1: Michael Parson's coming off of a loss. Is a fully 565 00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,880 Speaker 1: healthy Michael Parsons, That's my biggest question. Fair. That's fair. 566 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,840 Speaker 1: But the good thing about the Cowboys defense and a 567 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:34,560 Speaker 1: piste off dan Quinn is that there they operate as 568 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,960 Speaker 1: a whole unit. Right, So it's not overtly dependent upon 569 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:41,720 Speaker 1: Michael Parsons having to be that dude on any given week. 570 00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:43,760 Speaker 1: If he is, then it's that much more dominant. If 571 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:47,160 Speaker 1: he's not, somebody else would likely step up in his 572 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,040 Speaker 1: place and help, and you know he's still going to 573 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,400 Speaker 1: cause disruptions. So for the so on, the question just 574 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:54,520 Speaker 1: goes back to the can the offense hit the ground 575 00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 1: running or at least continue to do what they've been doing. 576 00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:59,720 Speaker 1: Don't get away from leaning on the run, leaning on 577 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,960 Speaker 1: the ru with Ezekiel Elliott, Tony Pollard. Let your offensive 578 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:04,880 Speaker 1: line kind of try to set the tone so that 579 00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,640 Speaker 1: you can set up a play action and the lion's 580 00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,680 Speaker 1: pass rush is not teen off or trying to tee 581 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 1: off against your quarterback who just got back into the game. 582 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,960 Speaker 1: So is this a winnable game. It absolutely sure are 583 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,600 Speaker 1: the Cowboys going to route them by a hundred stop 584 00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:21,320 Speaker 1: that that's nonsense. This is the NFL. Those guys get 585 00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:23,680 Speaker 1: paid too. But it's something. It's a game that the 586 00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:29,120 Speaker 1: Cowboys should win handily if they're operating on all cylinders 587 00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,400 Speaker 1: and play mistake free football. And we'll dive into the 588 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,960 Speaker 1: details of that tomorrow and then Thursday and Friday, even 589 00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 1: for say, with your chest Friday as well. But let's 590 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:39,960 Speaker 1: go out to Bob in Nashville. Bob, you're back on 591 00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:45,160 Speaker 1: talking Cowboys. How's it going any, great fellows, great conversation. 592 00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:48,040 Speaker 1: I hit the nail on the head with me to 593 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,120 Speaker 1: One of the things I was calling about was listen 594 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:53,880 Speaker 1: to the Philadelphia game. Okay, it's over with. It's one game. 595 00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:56,240 Speaker 1: Let's move on. We need to get these next two 596 00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:59,080 Speaker 1: games going into the bye. Yep. So we're six and two. 597 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,440 Speaker 1: We need to focus on those two games and getting 598 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 1: better offensively. I think that's the key, not looking back 599 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:10,000 Speaker 1: and lamenting about Philadelphia, but just going back to some 600 00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:11,960 Speaker 1: of the point you made earlier. I really want to 601 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 1: keep Honor McGovern in at the left guard, and I 602 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,480 Speaker 1: want to keep using these young tight Ends. I think 603 00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:21,600 Speaker 1: you got something with those people. I think we need 604 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 1: to not put in you know, maybe Jason Peters, maybe 605 00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:27,520 Speaker 1: I just have him as a backup right now. Just 606 00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:31,360 Speaker 1: let this guy grow immature and develop with this line. 607 00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:33,920 Speaker 1: And also same thing with the tight Ends. I think 608 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:37,680 Speaker 1: they are good enough to replace Schultz, and let's wait 609 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:41,840 Speaker 1: till he's healthy completely and then spot him in. But 610 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:44,840 Speaker 1: I like the youth movement and I want to continue 611 00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,040 Speaker 1: with that downroad. I just want to hear your thoughts 612 00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:50,360 Speaker 1: on that. Thanks, guys, appreciate you. Bob, And he brings 613 00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:53,040 Speaker 1: up the concerns of multiple people. I know Nate Newton 614 00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,840 Speaker 1: across the way is saying put one of them in 615 00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,360 Speaker 1: piket and go, which right now, if that was the case, 616 00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:00,960 Speaker 1: it would be Tona mcgoverns over, wouldn't be Jason Peters. 617 00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:03,320 Speaker 1: Jason Peters with just the four snaps. I even asked 618 00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,560 Speaker 1: McCarthy about that yesterday in the press conference and he 619 00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,760 Speaker 1: was like, well, Peters didn't play enough to really really 620 00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 1: warrant a thought process or an evaluation. But I know, Isaiah, 621 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,800 Speaker 1: you've been big on the Peters bandwagon. Has that shifted 622 00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:19,760 Speaker 1: it all over the last couple of weeks it has. 623 00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:22,600 Speaker 1: He hasn't been asked when he has been in the game. 624 00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:24,960 Speaker 1: I haven't seen enough out of him. I think that 625 00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 1: first game he came in and him made some really 626 00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:29,280 Speaker 1: good blocks of Fredding wise, but overall, I don't know. 627 00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:32,640 Speaker 1: I think he needs to being more consistently in order 628 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:36,080 Speaker 1: to even get comfortable with this unit. And it's kind 629 00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:38,320 Speaker 1: of a government playing poor enough to where you can 630 00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:42,000 Speaker 1: constitute a replacement. I really don't think he has not. 631 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:45,400 Speaker 1: And to Nate's point, you know, when you're rotating offensive 632 00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:49,120 Speaker 1: lightning in, it's the one position in football that you know, 633 00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:53,800 Speaker 1: aside from the specialists, that don't have substitutes, So it's 634 00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:55,880 Speaker 1: kind of odd. It's kind of odd that you're rotating 635 00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:57,200 Speaker 1: these guys in and you expect them to all be 636 00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:01,680 Speaker 1: productive and effective when they need to work in solidarity together. 637 00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,960 Speaker 1: So it's just a bad it's a bad situation. So 638 00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,160 Speaker 1: I agree, either you go with McGovern, I like him both. 639 00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:09,920 Speaker 1: I like Peters better, but I haven't seen enough of 640 00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:13,040 Speaker 1: him consistently, and he hasn't seen enough of himself consistently. 641 00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:15,240 Speaker 1: You can't. You can't go in there four plays and 642 00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:18,560 Speaker 1: impact as a lineman. Many suck It was a good 643 00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,000 Speaker 1: question by Babe Laffenberg because he said he followed up 644 00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:23,560 Speaker 1: on your question and he said, I imagine the plan 645 00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:26,360 Speaker 1: wasn't to just give him only four plays, and he said, well, 646 00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:28,840 Speaker 1: third series was the plan, and then we revisit in 647 00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:30,720 Speaker 1: the second half, but they didn't go back to him. 648 00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:34,560 Speaker 1: So I'm not sure, but I'm kind of with Nate 649 00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:37,320 Speaker 1: like it's just unusual to have a rotation on the 650 00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:39,880 Speaker 1: offensive line. That's just not common. So I think it. 651 00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:43,320 Speaker 1: I wonder if by now they were expecting Jason Peters 652 00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:45,440 Speaker 1: to probably be the starter and it just hasn't worked 653 00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:47,600 Speaker 1: out that way yet. You know, maybe the injury set 654 00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:49,800 Speaker 1: him back a little bit. We'll see. I think that 655 00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:53,360 Speaker 1: was the case. I think exactly right, Rob. I think 656 00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:56,840 Speaker 1: the Cowboys felt that the timing of signing Jason Peters 657 00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:58,880 Speaker 1: and you know, the timing they needed to ramp him 658 00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,280 Speaker 1: up because they were basically saying, well, September was training 659 00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:04,840 Speaker 1: camp for Jason Peters. Okay, well now we're going into 660 00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:08,000 Speaker 1: late October. The chest injury obviously set him back, and 661 00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:10,399 Speaker 1: then you have to wonder, you know, when he got 662 00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:13,640 Speaker 1: in against the Eagles, maybe they saw that he was 663 00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:17,360 Speaker 1: still kind of struggling, you know, holding his blocks, probably 664 00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:20,120 Speaker 1: you know, because of the residuals coming from that chest injury. 665 00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:24,040 Speaker 1: But nonetheless, here we are two weeks away from the bye. 666 00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:27,440 Speaker 1: Connor McGovern has played well enough to remain the starter. 667 00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,560 Speaker 1: So my thought process is, you already know what you 668 00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:33,720 Speaker 1: haven't Tyler Smith. You just continue to you know, develop 669 00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:37,640 Speaker 1: peters in the system. So that should McGovern take a 670 00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:40,200 Speaker 1: step back at the wrong time, start taking a step back, 671 00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:42,160 Speaker 1: then you say, okay, we're going to do a full swap. 672 00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:45,080 Speaker 1: But I'm with Big Nate stopped the rotation. I think 673 00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:46,520 Speaker 1: we're at the point of the season where it needs 674 00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,880 Speaker 1: to be solid, especially with your injury healed QB one 675 00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:51,960 Speaker 1: coming back from injury. It needs to be and a 676 00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:54,200 Speaker 1: solid five in front of him, and with a left 677 00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:57,080 Speaker 1: tackle that's a rookie two. I mean, he's been playing well. 678 00:34:57,400 --> 00:34:59,520 Speaker 1: I really like what Tyler Smith has done. Sure, he's 679 00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:02,359 Speaker 1: given up acts, he's given up pressures. Everybody does whenever 680 00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:05,640 Speaker 1: they're a rookie playing at left tackle. But he's really 681 00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:09,439 Speaker 1: done well. From a standpoint of growing, He'll grow even 682 00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:12,440 Speaker 1: more and even quicker whenever he's got a steady guy 683 00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:14,439 Speaker 1: to the right side of him as well, and Condo 684 00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:16,879 Speaker 1: McGovern's played better than Jason Peters at this point. It's 685 00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:20,200 Speaker 1: been a super small sample size, but Connor McGovern's played better, 686 00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:22,279 Speaker 1: so let's keep that in mind. All right, let's take 687 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:25,120 Speaker 1: our second break. We're gonna still take some calls eight eight, eight, five, 688 00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:27,880 Speaker 1: five two two nine seven. We'll maybe have time for 689 00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:29,360 Speaker 1: one or two more and when we come back with 690 00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:33,879 Speaker 1: more talking cowboys presented by Black Rifle Coffee Company.

I'm glad I was able to draw 734 00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:19,560 Speaker 1: you guys into that has a nice change up from 735 00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:24,640 Speaker 1: the All right, let's go to Irvin in Denver. We're 736 00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:27,000 Speaker 1: going all around the country this morning. Irvin, how's it 737 00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:30,359 Speaker 1: going you're on Talking Cowboys. I'm doing good, guys, Thanks 738 00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:33,919 Speaker 1: for having my call. Uh was listening to you guys 739 00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:37,040 Speaker 1: a little bit yesterday actually for the whole show. And 740 00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:40,680 Speaker 1: one hundred percent agreed with Patrick yesterday. There was a 741 00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:44,640 Speaker 1: point in that game when we've got to twenty to seventeen. 742 00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:49,520 Speaker 1: I think Philadelphia realized after Lane Johnson had gotten hurt 743 00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:53,000 Speaker 1: and they lost their starting guard too, that they were 744 00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:55,799 Speaker 1: kind of placed on the ropes, you know, by our 745 00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:58,640 Speaker 1: defense at that point. I really think we were taking 746 00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:03,560 Speaker 1: control of that game. They realized get back their run games, 747 00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:05,520 Speaker 1: which they did, and I was kind of hoping that 748 00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:09,040 Speaker 1: our defense would that kind of stop that run, that 749 00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:13,560 Speaker 1: whole drive really kind of like stop the game. Well, 750 00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:16,040 Speaker 1: that's all I really got to say. What you got 751 00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:18,720 Speaker 1: to think about that? Thanks? Thanks so much, Irvan, appreciate 752 00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:21,759 Speaker 1: your call from Denver, and I mean two to nothing. 753 00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:24,040 Speaker 1: I guess if we're keeping listening to, wisdom is strong 754 00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:30,040 Speaker 1: within these callers. Irvin. I appreciate you. Um, I respect 755 00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:34,120 Speaker 1: you as a Dallas Cowboys fan, avid talking Cowboys listener, 756 00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:40,840 Speaker 1: you know, loyal. However, typically when you make a statement 757 00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:45,440 Speaker 1: saying that a team was in control, if you're in 758 00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:50,399 Speaker 1: control in your seeming league, you know, stopping teams moving 759 00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:52,200 Speaker 1: the ball, whatever it might be, you just had that 760 00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:54,640 Speaker 1: confidence that you're gonna win the game because you're in 761 00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:58,000 Speaker 1: control you feel like it, then you don't get the 762 00:39:58,040 --> 00:39:59,680 Speaker 1: ball ran on your eleva strate times all the way 763 00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:02,480 Speaker 1: down field and then get a touchdown. You're not in 764 00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:04,800 Speaker 1: control if you can't stop a team from running the 765 00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:11,040 Speaker 1: ball eleven straight times. That's me controlling you. If I 766 00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:13,839 Speaker 1: want to control you. If I'm playing Madden, I'm gonna 767 00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:17,600 Speaker 1: hand the ball off because you can't stop it, right, 768 00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:21,080 Speaker 1: you can't freaking stop it. If I'm playing the wing t. 769 00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:23,160 Speaker 1: Why was the wing t so good back in the day. 770 00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:26,080 Speaker 1: Can't stop it, can't freaking stop it. Why am I 771 00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:28,680 Speaker 1: gonna put it in the air and give you an 772 00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:32,879 Speaker 1: opportunity when it's a higher precision, as a higher chance 773 00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:34,279 Speaker 1: that I'm gonna turn the ball over putting it in 774 00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:36,200 Speaker 1: the air, I can keep it on the ground and 775 00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:38,880 Speaker 1: just move the chains if you can't stop me from 776 00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:42,320 Speaker 1: moving the chains on the ground. You were never in control. So, 777 00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:46,000 Speaker 1: regardless of what the score was, regardless of what your 778 00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:49,359 Speaker 1: sweet little emotions feel like everybody out here, you were 779 00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:52,120 Speaker 1: never in control of that game. Yes, you closed the gap, 780 00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:55,319 Speaker 1: but what did the Philly do? Philly said, all right, well, 781 00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:56,920 Speaker 1: let's go back to doing what we know what we 782 00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:58,839 Speaker 1: were doing. Well, I don't know why we were trying 783 00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:00,640 Speaker 1: to throw the ball ahead of a while ago. But 784 00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:02,560 Speaker 1: let's go back and hand this thing off again and 785 00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:07,040 Speaker 1: again again again, just like Novoca again. I'm always work. 786 00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:09,239 Speaker 1: So I hear you and I and I want to 787 00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:12,319 Speaker 1: be on board, but I can't be on board. I'm sorry, y'all. 788 00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:14,839 Speaker 1: I'm my metat the truth. Regardless of how how how 789 00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:18,000 Speaker 1: bad that medicine taste, Dallas was not in control. It 790 00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:21,880 Speaker 1: just felt good because the score looked goodbutt coming, all right, 791 00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:29,080 Speaker 1: So I'm all for rubbing the testing on it. Right. Um, 792 00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:33,640 Speaker 1: I disagree again and that they were never in control 793 00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:36,239 Speaker 1: because control is a moment to moment thing. So what 794 00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:40,640 Speaker 1: you're saying is that they regained control by running the 795 00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:44,760 Speaker 1: ball eleven straight times, but they didn't actually lose control 796 00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:48,000 Speaker 1: by allowing the Cowboys to score seventeen straight points and 797 00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:50,759 Speaker 1: make it a three point a fair. So nodes not 798 00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:56,279 Speaker 1: tomato tomatoes, tomato pumpkin shout out to think about it 799 00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:59,719 Speaker 1: this way. If we if we if we're if we're 800 00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:03,080 Speaker 1: in a vehicle and I don't have control of the 801 00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:05,920 Speaker 1: vehicle in that moment, right, you're taking us all over 802 00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:07,560 Speaker 1: the place. You're all over the lanes and I'm sitting 803 00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:10,560 Speaker 1: I'm just along for the ride. That's in that moment. Yes, 804 00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:13,360 Speaker 1: Now what if in the next moment, I grabbed the wheel, 805 00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:15,000 Speaker 1: put us back in the lane, and now we're going 806 00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:17,120 Speaker 1: where I want us to go. In that moment, I'm 807 00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:20,279 Speaker 1: in control. But then I don't equate that equate that 808 00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:23,560 Speaker 1: analogy to what happened then with the eleven straight runs 809 00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:25,919 Speaker 1: that you grabbing the wheel again and say no, I'm 810 00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:29,320 Speaker 1: taking control. Say so. My whole point is there was 811 00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:32,680 Speaker 1: a point in that game, Yes, that the Cowboys were 812 00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:36,800 Speaker 1: in control and threatened to come back and win, and 813 00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:40,200 Speaker 1: the Eagles, to their credit, they regained control, But that 814 00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:43,759 Speaker 1: them regaining control doesn't delete the fact that the Cowboys 815 00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:46,319 Speaker 1: actually took it from them at some point, which made 816 00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:50,840 Speaker 1: that a winnable game before. That's all I'm saying. I 817 00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:53,920 Speaker 1: see your point, and I raise you if I want to. 818 00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:57,520 Speaker 1: It's cool outside. Why am I the pump kissing? I 819 00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:00,759 Speaker 1: keep my thermostat, you know, I keep the thermosat said 820 00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:03,319 Speaker 1: at about seventy two in the crib. Okay, he said 821 00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:09,840 Speaker 1: about seventy two. Yes, no, that's good for me. Seventy Now, 822 00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:11,920 Speaker 1: I don't want to use my AC, right, So I 823 00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:13,960 Speaker 1: popped the windows open like dbo right, I cracked the 824 00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:15,759 Speaker 1: windows open. I'm saying, you know what, I need the 825 00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:18,480 Speaker 1: outside to regulate the temperature on the inside. I'm gonna 826 00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:20,800 Speaker 1: try something different. Okay, I'm gonna try something different. I 827 00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:22,839 Speaker 1: know the AC works, but I don't want to run 828 00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:24,440 Speaker 1: that thing right, So I'm gonna go ahead, prop this 829 00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:27,920 Speaker 1: window open. Hopefully, hopefully my temperature regulates on the inside. 830 00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:32,040 Speaker 1: Guess guess what exactly what? So two o'clock this morning, 831 00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:34,360 Speaker 1: my allergy started acting up right, and it wasn't It 832 00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:35,880 Speaker 1: wasn't a temperature that I need to set on the 833 00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:37,920 Speaker 1: thermosat So what I do? I went back to I 834 00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:40,239 Speaker 1: know what works. I closed the dog on window and 835 00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:42,680 Speaker 1: I turned the AC back on, and guess what it regulated. 836 00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:48,040 Speaker 1: That's Philadelphia Legos. Try some different, they said, I lost, 837 00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:50,040 Speaker 1: this ain't working. That ain't working. So I'm gonna go 838 00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:53,200 Speaker 1: back to what I know works because they can't stop it. 839 00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:56,080 Speaker 1: I'm just saying that the never that you said. That's 840 00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:59,840 Speaker 1: see okay, get here. I am sitting right in the 841 00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:03,080 Speaker 1: addle of this argument again because I agree with things 842 00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:05,000 Speaker 1: that Patrick's saying. Because they had a chance to win 843 00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:07,680 Speaker 1: that football game. That was a winnable football Philadelphia kept 844 00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:09,719 Speaker 1: doing with you. But I also agree with Isaiah and 845 00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:12,200 Speaker 1: the fact that I don't think Dallas ever had control 846 00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:14,760 Speaker 1: at that same moment in the ball game that Patrick's 847 00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:17,680 Speaker 1: talking about. They had a chance to take control and 848 00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:20,640 Speaker 1: they didn't. They had a chance to stop Philadelphia there 849 00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:23,280 Speaker 1: and they didn't. That's where I sit in this argument, 850 00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:25,320 Speaker 1: because I think it was a winnable game if you 851 00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:28,000 Speaker 1: would have retaken control. But Philly was in control of 852 00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:29,759 Speaker 1: that game all the way through. It's hard for me 853 00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:31,839 Speaker 1: to say a team is in control when you're down 854 00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:35,200 Speaker 1: at any point in the ball game. Really, you have 855 00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:37,480 Speaker 1: to take the lead or have a chance to go 856 00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:39,600 Speaker 1: take the lead. For me to say that, I don't 857 00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:41,279 Speaker 1: agree with don't. I don't fully agree with that because 858 00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:42,960 Speaker 1: I go back to the Super Bowl against Atlanta, Right, 859 00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:45,080 Speaker 1: we're gonna same page on that one. But Rob Pie, 860 00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:49,640 Speaker 1: if you're extreme, but then, but who did you feel 861 00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:52,120 Speaker 1: like it was in control the game when you got 862 00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:55,399 Speaker 1: to overtime, But it was a time when they were down, 863 00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:57,120 Speaker 1: you still felt like New England was in control of 864 00:44:57,200 --> 00:44:59,080 Speaker 1: that game even with them down. You just know I 865 00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:01,359 Speaker 1: felt it I don't know what you felt beside from 866 00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:03,560 Speaker 1: the bubble guy. Everybody knows. But there's a shift of 867 00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:07,720 Speaker 1: control that's coming. You can feel like a shift of control, 868 00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:11,280 Speaker 1: that would be, but that's not the same of actually 869 00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:14,600 Speaker 1: being in control. Okay, So feelings, you got to control 870 00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:17,880 Speaker 1: your own destiny in that moment for you to be 871 00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:19,840 Speaker 1: in control. If you're down by three, but you can 872 00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:22,160 Speaker 1: drive and take the lead, I would I would call 873 00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:25,279 Speaker 1: that aid in control. If you're down by more than 874 00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:27,440 Speaker 1: a touchdown, or if you're down by a certain amount 875 00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:29,600 Speaker 1: of points that keep you out of that, then I 876 00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:32,080 Speaker 1: don't know. We gotta go walk because a tintel too, Rapie. 877 00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:33,919 Speaker 1: I want you to be off as a coordinator. Okay, 878 00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:37,200 Speaker 1: your team's up. Okay, you've had success running the ball, 879 00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:39,440 Speaker 1: You've had sess throwing the ball. Right, you're in four 880 00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:41,560 Speaker 1: minute offense. What are you doing four minute office, Rappie? 881 00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:43,000 Speaker 1: If you want to control the rest of the game, 882 00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:45,520 Speaker 1: I'm doing what I do best. And for the Eagles, 883 00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:47,719 Speaker 1: it's the RPO stuff and running the ball and trying 884 00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:49,320 Speaker 1: to control the clock, Thank you very much. That's what 885 00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:52,360 Speaker 1: they did and they they were the better team, and 886 00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:54,640 Speaker 1: some of that was self inflicted by Dallas. They were 887 00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:56,840 Speaker 1: the better team in that particular game. I think the 888 00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:59,440 Speaker 1: Cowboys defensively can play so much better than they did. 889 00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:01,640 Speaker 1: Some of that is what Philly does. That is a 890 00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:04,239 Speaker 1: pain in the ass for anybody to play against. And 891 00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:06,279 Speaker 1: that's why I think I agree with both of you guys, 892 00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:08,600 Speaker 1: because I think Philly's legit. I think they're going to 893 00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:10,320 Speaker 1: be a challenge for everybody they play. The question that 894 00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:12,080 Speaker 1: they're going to run into though at some point, and 895 00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:15,480 Speaker 1: maybe it's Dallas on Christmas Eve, when teams can keep 896 00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:18,480 Speaker 1: up with them scoring wise, to take the RPO out 897 00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:20,920 Speaker 1: of it a little bit, that they haven't run into 898 00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:22,799 Speaker 1: that yet, that's going to be the key. And if 899 00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:25,719 Speaker 1: they don't stay healthy offensively. To close an argument, the 900 00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:28,680 Speaker 1: one thing I disagree with what you're saying is no, 901 00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:31,680 Speaker 1: So why are you closing argument to me? Because because 902 00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:38,040 Speaker 1: point I'll simply quote cold play and then I'll toss 903 00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:40,680 Speaker 1: it over to you. Just because you're losing doesn't mean 904 00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:43,680 Speaker 1: that you've lost. So if you're in that being said, 905 00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:46,480 Speaker 1: that's not what I'm saying. No, you're saying that you can't. 906 00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:49,200 Speaker 1: You don't envision that a team can be in control 907 00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:52,880 Speaker 1: unless they control their own destiny. That's what it's literally 908 00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:56,120 Speaker 1: in the same control your own destiny, which if you're 909 00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:59,240 Speaker 1: down by a score or more, then you don't control 910 00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:01,959 Speaker 1: your own destiny. You can get back into it's sure, 911 00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:04,960 Speaker 1: but you're not in football by taking control. You know, 912 00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:06,719 Speaker 1: that's the only way you get back into it. But 913 00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:08,719 Speaker 1: you're not in control. You would have to take it 914 00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:11,800 Speaker 1: and in the present and think you're in control. And 915 00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:14,839 Speaker 1: it was taken science in the moment, which is how 916 00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:19,440 Speaker 1: they got seventeen consecutive. They didn't have the ball. They 917 00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:22,200 Speaker 1: didn't have the ball in that point they gave the ball. 918 00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:25,160 Speaker 1: The ball was with Philadelphia. All right, we can Hey, 919 00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:28,480 Speaker 1: real quickly, I'm taking control of this podcast back. I'm 920 00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:31,120 Speaker 1: taking control back at the moment, Al in the DMV 921 00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:33,680 Speaker 1: is calling, and I believe it's the first time caller, 922 00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:35,040 Speaker 1: so I want to get to him before the end 923 00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:37,280 Speaker 1: of the show. Al, how's it going. You're on Talking Cowboys? 924 00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:41,160 Speaker 1: Gonna be so mad at us doing great fellas. I 925 00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:43,640 Speaker 1: love your show, I love the Cowboys. I've been in 926 00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:46,560 Speaker 1: Cowboys fans for fifty six years. Real quick, I know 927 00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:50,600 Speaker 1: we're coming to the end of this show. Um, I 928 00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:54,520 Speaker 1: feel I feel as if as if they were flat 929 00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:58,040 Speaker 1: coming out. I've watched the Cowboys for fifty six years. 930 00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:01,120 Speaker 1: They were flat, and I think the reason they were flat, 931 00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:04,000 Speaker 1: which they didn't really have an excuse because it was 932 00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:08,680 Speaker 1: a divisional game. But coming off the Rams, I think 933 00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:12,120 Speaker 1: they they put it all out there and they started flat, 934 00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:16,439 Speaker 1: got behind. I don't think Philadelphia is better. I think 935 00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:20,560 Speaker 1: that we did not make the defensive adjustments that we 936 00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:24,640 Speaker 1: needed to make on the play to Brown, where Michael 937 00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:28,160 Speaker 1: was put in a predicament where he had to play pickles, 938 00:48:28,600 --> 00:48:31,520 Speaker 1: and to me, we should have adjusted. They ran that 939 00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:33,799 Speaker 1: play early, they beat us on it, and they came 940 00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:36,200 Speaker 1: back to it a couple of times and they beat 941 00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:39,320 Speaker 1: us on it. And I do not lastly blame Cooper 942 00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:46,279 Speaker 1: Russ because he that last pass to CD would have 943 00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:49,640 Speaker 1: been six had we had good protection. That's it. I 944 00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:52,560 Speaker 1: love you guys, have a good day. Thanks all. Appreciate 945 00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:56,239 Speaker 1: appreciate you listening. He brings up the it's almost the 946 00:48:56,320 --> 00:48:58,520 Speaker 1: counter argument of a couple things that we had talked 947 00:48:58,520 --> 00:49:01,839 Speaker 1: about previously, because up Rush had put it into situations 948 00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:06,240 Speaker 1: on multiple occasions that didn't necessarily work out in his favor. 949 00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:08,880 Speaker 1: But he didn't have a ton of help around him 950 00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:11,360 Speaker 1: at the same time that really allowed him to be successful. 951 00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:14,279 Speaker 1: For instance, Brandon Graham coming off the edge and just 952 00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:16,200 Speaker 1: flattening Cooper Rush as he was trying to let go 953 00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:18,439 Speaker 1: of that football. It had an effect on the throw. 954 00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:22,400 Speaker 1: It really did in that occasion specifically. Okay, oh it 955 00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:25,040 Speaker 1: sure did, No, it did. I think we got to 956 00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:28,200 Speaker 1: give the Eagles credit for making things tough on the Cowboys. 957 00:49:28,239 --> 00:49:30,680 Speaker 1: I don't think the Cowboys solely beat themselves in this game, 958 00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:33,080 Speaker 1: but I can't wait to see the rematch. You guys, 959 00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:37,279 Speaker 1: at least some of it. Wait, those sailed passes, Yeah, yeah, yeah, 960 00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:39,360 Speaker 1: some of it. He had an inaccurate day. There was 961 00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:41,919 Speaker 1: an armed talent level that's going to rise with Dak 962 00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:45,719 Speaker 1: being back correct playing and simple correct. Well, we're gonna 963 00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:49,080 Speaker 1: talk about that tomorrow, are we. Yeah, it's the Cowboys 964 00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:52,160 Speaker 1: and it's the Lions. Were turning the page, gentlemen, we're 965 00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:54,000 Speaker 1: putting this one in the review mirror. We're not gonna 966 00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:56,880 Speaker 1: let the Eagles beat us twice. It's not gonna happen. 967 00:49:57,120 --> 00:49:58,959 Speaker 1: You're not gonna let them beat you twice. You're gonna 968 00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:00,680 Speaker 1: go into this week and you're to be well prepared. 969 00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:02,880 Speaker 1: At least we are as a show here on Talking 970 00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:06,719 Speaker 1: Cowboys for Chris Beam, Rob Phillips, Isaiah Stanback, Patrick Nose 971 00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:09,200 Speaker 1: walk around, Kyle Yoman saying so long from the Star 972 00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:12,880 Speaker 1: in Frisco. We'll see tomorrow with more Talking Cowboys. This 973 00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:15,800 Speaker 1: has been a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and 974 00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:17,799 Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
