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
Speaker 1: Cowboys Straining live from the Dallas Cowboys World headquarters at
Speaker 1: the Star in Frisco. And now your hosts Isaiah stand Back,
Speaker 1: Patrick Walker, Rob Phillips, and Kyle Yeoman's. It is a
Speaker 1: Talking Tuesday from the s WBC studios at the Star
Speaker 1: in Frisco. Here on Talking Cowboys, presented by a Black
Speaker 1: Rifle Coffee Company in Frisco, Texas. We've got Patrick No C. Walker,
Speaker 1: We've got Isaiah stand Back, Rob Phillips, Chris Beam in house.
Speaker 1: I'm Kyle Yeoman's. Gentlemen, how are we doing on this
Speaker 1: Tuesday as well? Ready to get your mojo back? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: freaking go. This feels like one of those days where
Speaker 1: another week you have your pre workout. No yeas am
Speaker 1: I jack? They bugging? Yeah? Yeah? I thought about it,
Speaker 1: but I didn't want to come in too hot on
Speaker 1: your boys a day, you know what I mean. I
Speaker 1: literally at five forty five am this morning, in the
Speaker 1: middle of the class, I was about to grab I
Speaker 1: was about to grab my energy drink, and I was like,
Speaker 1: you know, what Ky might not be ready for the
Speaker 1: Sea four this morning. He couldn't handle it. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: really could not. Ears were burning. Yeah, the ears were
Speaker 1: burning by the end of the show, and then I
Speaker 1: got ask I got upstairs and I felt like I
Speaker 1: was going to fall over. That was not great. I
Speaker 1: didn't have anything to eat that morning too. I think
Speaker 1: that was probably the problem with that, because I just
Speaker 1: chugged half of that Sea four drink and Energy Drink
Speaker 1: ride on an empty stomach after waking up and come
Speaker 1: into the studio. You get rough p one that didn't
Speaker 1: work out. Yeah, I'm good. Actually, yeah, you got plenty
Speaker 1: of energy. Actually yeah, huh, you got plenty of energy.
Speaker 1: Good to go. We canna say that you got a
Speaker 1: two year old. That's that's always negotiable, but I'm making it.
Speaker 1: You could tell as soon as you took that thing,
Speaker 1: your people started just going my Ladys style. Zowski. How
Speaker 1: you feeling today? I feel great today. Actually, that's probably
Speaker 1: the best I've felt in the last week, because I've
Speaker 1: been kind of kicking a cold all week long and
Speaker 1: I've had an allophy. I think it was allergies because
Speaker 1: usually every fall, like for a week, I it just
Speaker 1: knocks me out and this might have been that week,
Speaker 1: but I feel better today. So my windows open the
Speaker 1: last few days, just enjoying the cool weathers. Turn my
Speaker 1: off St. Crisp. Yeah, it's been companies. I'll kiss my
Speaker 1: button this month this season. Oh four. I agree, it's gold.
Speaker 1: I'm right there with you. We are going to take
Speaker 1: your calls today eight eight eight eight five five two
Speaker 1: two ninety seven. You can go ahead and get in
Speaker 1: line on the phone calls. Chris Beam will answer it
Speaker 1: in the back and then we'll talk to you and
Speaker 1: get your idea of how you're thinking this Cowboys season
Speaker 1: is going. They're at four and two. They just fell
Speaker 1: to the Philadelphia Eagles twenty six to seventeen. The final
Speaker 1: score from Lincoln Financial Field Rob Phillips. Any news and
Speaker 1: notes for us to hit today. Nothing too much new
Speaker 1: from Jerry Jones on the Fan just a few minutes
Speaker 1: ago with Sean and RJ. He did say kind of
Speaker 1: echoing what Mike McCarthy said yesterday about Dak's status for
Speaker 1: the week. He said, Dak's determined to play, and he
Speaker 1: thinks he's gonna get there. They haven't said, oh, he's
Speaker 1: starting Sunday against the Detroit Lions. But with a good
Speaker 1: week of practice, I think that's certainly the plan. Mike
Speaker 1: said yesterday he's gonna have a full throwing load on
Speaker 1: Wednesday and that he should be cleared in time for
Speaker 1: Wednesday's practice to you know, do whatever he needs to
Speaker 1: do out there and get ready to play the game.
Speaker 1: So they'll just see how it goes. The other thing
Speaker 1: that stood out to me, noc I would say from
Speaker 1: Jerry as he said, you know, we're a better in
Speaker 1: so many words, we're a better football team now than
Speaker 1: we were before Dak got hurt. So there's a better
Speaker 1: group around him. You think about the number of young
Speaker 1: guys who have played now six games this year, and
Speaker 1: so they're in a better spot for him coming back
Speaker 1: to make a run here. I agree with that that statement.
Speaker 1: It's something that Mike McCarthy said yesterday in his press conference.
Speaker 1: Keep in mind, when Dak Prescott last played, it was
Speaker 1: Week one and there was a lot to be figured out.
Speaker 1: On the offensive side of the ball. You had to
Speaker 1: figure out the wide receiver corps, which was without Michael Gallop.
Speaker 1: Tyler Smith had spent the entirety of training camp at
Speaker 1: left guard. He was being pop back out the left tackle.
Speaker 1: Connor McGovern got some reps in August at center, but
Speaker 1: now he's being moved back to the definitive left guard.
Speaker 1: What's going on there? So, the last time Dak Prescott
Speaker 1: was on the field for the Cowboys, there was a
Speaker 1: there were a whole lot of question marks, but now
Speaker 1: still have some question marks, but not as many. We
Speaker 1: know what Tyler Smith can do at left tackle, We're
Speaker 1: starting to see what Connor McGovern can be at left guard.
Speaker 1: And Jason Peters is in the mix again after return
Speaker 1: last week from that that chest injury that that cost
Speaker 1: him to Los Angeles game. So it looks like the
Speaker 1: offensive line is is much more set than it was
Speaker 1: back in Week one, and that's only going to work
Speaker 1: toward helping Dak Prescott get back into prime form more quickly. Now.
Speaker 1: As Isaiah, myself, Colin and Rob have continuously said, do
Speaker 1: we expect Dak Prescott to hit the ground running. We
Speaker 1: would love for it to happen, but we don't expect
Speaker 1: that that's going to be the case. He still has
Speaker 1: to get the timing, like Mike McCarthy said, with the offense, uh,
Speaker 1: get the timing back with Ceedee Lamb, Michael Gallup, Noah Brown,
Speaker 1: who's basically now the definitive wide receiver three. Obviously that
Speaker 1: was not the case in twenty twenty one. Isaiah is
Speaker 1: doing the bugout look. So I'm going to toss to Isaiah.
Speaker 1: You know, I want to know what that looks. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what was the we questioning Noah's arc question said he's
Speaker 1: definitive number three? I just yeah, I think he's number two. Huh.
Speaker 1: You think he's number two? Orderline one, that's what he's saying.
Speaker 1: You think he's one. Okay, Now I'm gonna bug you
Speaker 1: with with the previous regime. Let's say that with the rush,
Speaker 1: with the rush hour, that's number one rush hours. The stats,
Speaker 1: I know you're not thirty some yards on that last
Speaker 1: drive like they didn't terrorists. We talked about this a
Speaker 1: couple weeks ago. We're talking about quarterbacks and they have
Speaker 1: their guys cite. Lamb had four catches for thirty some
Speaker 1: our yards before that last game. He has one hundred
Speaker 1: and twenty more yards and another touchdown and thirteen further
Speaker 1: receptions than Noah Brown. More attempts, probably too, more targets
Speaker 1: for sure, because he's a number two, Noah Brown has
Speaker 1: a higher catcher percentage. I mean maybe I don't know.
Speaker 1: Let me let me look at the targets. Let's be
Speaker 1: clear here walking down that there, Rob Yeah, I'll tell
Speaker 1: you what y'all take. Noah Brown and I thrown the
Speaker 1: ball and I'll tell you most of the time he
Speaker 1: gonna come down with it, and at times he doesn't.
Speaker 1: It's a quarterback's fault. It's a ricky Bobby, I know,
Speaker 1: but I don't know what to do with my hands.
Speaker 1: We love Noah, we love absolutely. I am extremely interested
Speaker 1: to see who becomes the most targeted when QB one
Speaker 1: comes back, because last year it was it was Dalton.
Speaker 1: But something else that stuck out with Jerry's interview this
Speaker 1: morning is he said there's a quote unquote question mark
Speaker 1: about the return of Dalton Shots from his injury, as in,
Speaker 1: will he be back on the field for the lines?
Speaker 1: Where will he not? And what really stuck out was
Speaker 1: the fact that Jerry used the word surprised when he
Speaker 1: described Dalton Shots being made inactive after what was his
Speaker 1: practice last week? Limited? Limited full? Uh? And then he
Speaker 1: was inactive on Sunday, which okay, um, But then that
Speaker 1: led you to believe it's like, okay, well that was
Speaker 1: unexpected for us, but they knew something. Okay, there you go.
Speaker 1: But then you hear Jerry this morning saying, well, that
Speaker 1: was a bit of a surprise, and then your eyes
Speaker 1: kind of you know, get white, like okay, so what
Speaker 1: do we okay? So interesting interesting things. He was not
Speaker 1: He did not have an injury designation for correct And
Speaker 1: what Mike said yesterday was he he likened it to
Speaker 1: Dak like he's healthy enough, but it's a timing thing.
Speaker 1: It just didn't feel right or something like that coming
Speaker 1: off this knee injury. I'm about to read as his
Speaker 1: mind because I who are on the same page when
Speaker 1: Jerry said that this morning, and this is me Now
Speaker 1: I'm wondering out loud. I was wondering quietly, but let
Speaker 1: me let me let me wonder. I'm wondering if because
Speaker 1: we talked about one side of the coin, in that
Speaker 1: it's a franchise tag gear for for dawn shows, he
Speaker 1: can't afford to not be on the field. But then again,
Speaker 1: flip it up to the other side of the field,
Speaker 1: the other side of the coin. He cannot afford to
Speaker 1: play hurt and see his value diminished. Then you look
Speaker 1: at the last couple of games he gets out there,
Speaker 1: he's trying to battle through it, but he's not Cooper's guy,
Speaker 1: so he's not getting the targets, which then devalues the
Speaker 1: purpose of him fighting through the injuries. So maybe this
Speaker 1: is just me wondering out loud. Maybe don't shows. It's like, well,
Speaker 1: you know what, until qv one gets back, I don't
Speaker 1: see the value in fighting through this spring PCL And
Speaker 1: you know, call me when forward's back under center. Oh
Speaker 1: now I'm wondering out loud. Okay, So that's not that's
Speaker 1: not concrete. That's just your process. We're building a contiracy series.
Speaker 1: It's me wondering out loud. We we've talked about this
Speaker 1: before though around separate other positions that are looking for
Speaker 1: contract renewals, like Dalton Schultze is this season. Most of
Speaker 1: the time, even if you're banged up, you want to
Speaker 1: play because that's gonna try and force your your hand
Speaker 1: and negotiations as well as would you see it with
Speaker 1: last year Ezekiel that wasn't even end into a contract.
Speaker 1: Nego track contract negotiation always, it's always in a contract negotiation,
Speaker 1: you gotta be you gotta be able to check those
Speaker 1: years up. So that's the reason why you saw him
Speaker 1: push through last year, aside from the fact he's out
Speaker 1: there trying to give it his all. I mean that's
Speaker 1: not but he was, like he was about the money.
Speaker 1: He was still getting his handoffs. Yeah, he was still
Speaker 1: getting his hands because I mean he's a dog, so
Speaker 1: I mean he's but he's he was putting out. So
Speaker 1: it's a counter argument, possibly to the situation that you're
Speaker 1: proposing right now. Zeke was out there trying to do
Speaker 1: everything he could. Even though we everybody in the world
Speaker 1: knew that he was banged up and he was nowhere
Speaker 1: near one hundred percent, he was still giving you what
Speaker 1: he had. So Dalton Schultz not available, Dak Prescott looks
Speaker 1: like he's on his way back. Anything else from News
Speaker 1: and Notes yesterday, That's kind of the ones that stuck
Speaker 1: out to me. I mean, we're in Dak mode here,
Speaker 1: but I I would be shocked if he's not starting
Speaker 1: in the Sunday stunting. Yeah, So how do you guys
Speaker 1: think the young tit Ends played in the game speak?
Speaker 1: I was just about to ask answer yes, yes, elaborate
Speaker 1: on that yes, because I liked Ferguson as a receiver
Speaker 1: because he's been that all all around you just like
Speaker 1: tight end. That tight end or that touchdown was sick.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie to you. I saw somebody on Twitter.
Speaker 1: I believe it was our friend Stephen, who actually went
Speaker 1: to North Texas a couple of years after I did,
Speaker 1: or maybe before I can't remember, but he goes. He
Speaker 1: called it. He called it the Jacin Bake, and I
Speaker 1: was like, Oh, that's good. That was that was he
Speaker 1: did a euro step with a football. Yeah, he's gonna
Speaker 1: say it was like James hardenstyle or something. It's awareness on.
Speaker 1: That was crazy. But I thought he showed me something
Speaker 1: as a receiver in this game that I hadn't seen
Speaker 1: yet from Jake Ferguson specifically. And then I saw Peyton
Speaker 1: Hendershot show me something that we did expect from a
Speaker 1: blocking standpoint. They put him in some tough situations blocking
Speaker 1: and it did not go well on multiple occasions. I
Speaker 1: mean I charted at least three or four. I don't
Speaker 1: have my film notebook in front of me, but I
Speaker 1: had three or four snaps where Hendershot got beat and
Speaker 1: got beat bad as a blocker. Twice. Twice it was
Speaker 1: in Max's protection and he was with Sean McEwan uh,
Speaker 1: and both him and mckewan just kind of got all
Speaker 1: swords and just unraveled and it didn't really look great.
Speaker 1: And you know what for me that we knew that
Speaker 1: that's the case, that's right, We knew that. So it's
Speaker 1: a situation where I would lean more towards criticizing the
Speaker 1: scheme and that portion, because again, you got you know
Speaker 1: that Peyton Hendershot is not great at blocking, and credit
Speaker 1: to the rookie because he willingly admits it. He says
Speaker 1: he's working to get better at it, and we've seen
Speaker 1: at times over the course of this his young career
Speaker 1: six weeks in that he has had some solid blocks,
Speaker 1: but we've also seen him miss on some more than
Speaker 1: than he's been solid on. But I think it's going
Speaker 1: to continue to be a progression. That's not the strength
Speaker 1: of his game. The strength of his game is the
Speaker 1: fact that he's a down the field threat. He's a
Speaker 1: guy who can get separation from you know, linebackers and
Speaker 1: defensive backs for that matter. I can't stress enough how
Speaker 1: much I'd love his quickness out of breaks. It is
Speaker 1: very receiver like. It is not very tight end like.
Speaker 1: But what you saw was, like you said, Kyle, Jake
Speaker 1: Ferguson show, would you an added aspect. We knew that
Speaker 1: Jake Ferguson could make some plays as a receiver, we
Speaker 1: didn't know he had dumb moves, right, So if Jake
Speaker 1: Ferguson is going to start busting out the moves in
Speaker 1: addition to being at least a solid blocker, now you're
Speaker 1: really talking about you know, tighten one question mark twenty
Speaker 1: twenty three. Yeah, right, I mean, that's that's the discussion
Speaker 1: that needs really a question. Though it's always a question
Speaker 1: until it's no longer a course, because I think you
Speaker 1: could always a question until it's not a question. Even
Speaker 1: if yeah, even if Dalton Schultz does not get a
Speaker 1: long term deal here, fine, they could still franchise him
Speaker 1: a second time. Now you know he doesn't want that.
Speaker 1: He didn't want to be franchise the first time. Who does?
Speaker 1: But it is an option for the team. I mean,
Speaker 1: Dad got franchise twice. They ultimately got a deal done,
Speaker 1: but I think I think Tank might have got a
Speaker 1: franchise twice anyway, So it's a it's an option and
Speaker 1: the weapon asked, that's what it was, the shoulders. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and they got the got the deal done. But to
Speaker 1: you guys, point like, it feels like they've brought in
Speaker 1: Dalty slash Jarwin two point zero at these two because
Speaker 1: of what their skill sets are. And I agree with
Speaker 1: no Ce like hinder shots receiver like ability is more
Speaker 1: so than what Jarwin is. And he's a better athlete
Speaker 1: than Jarwin was here, um, but more agile the other things. Yeah.
Speaker 1: The other thing Mike did say about him though, is
Speaker 1: he's playing a little too fast, you know, and he's
Speaker 1: gotten some penalties, that illegal motion penalty. He's just he's anty.
Speaker 1: He's a little anty that yet happy feed on the
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage because he knows what he's capable of.
Speaker 1: He knows the matchups that he has. He can beat
Speaker 1: most safeties, he can beat almost every linebacker. So when
Speaker 1: you know you have that capability and you haven't had
Speaker 1: the opportunity to show that and display that yet, you're
Speaker 1: you're a little hype. You're like, come on, come on,
Speaker 1: especially when you know you're in motion and the play
Speaker 1: is like designed. You're looking at the at the at
Speaker 1: the coverage and you're like oh this, this is coming
Speaker 1: to me, you know, based upon coverage, if the if
Speaker 1: the if, the concept is created for you to get
Speaker 1: the ball. So him coming in motion, I bet you
Speaker 1: he was about to get the balls. Young tight ends
Speaker 1: in this game alone on the young tight ends both
Speaker 1: make plays in space, Jake Ferguson only touchdown for example.
Speaker 1: You saw them high point catches, like really climbed the
Speaker 1: ladder Fergie again. So yeah, and you know when it
Speaker 1: comes to the blocking, probablys or like they rove at
Speaker 1: the moment of Peyton him to show you know what
Speaker 1: you got there. It's a work in progress, but the
Speaker 1: fact that he can do what he can do as
Speaker 1: a receiver compliments Jake Ferguson's ability to both block and
Speaker 1: be a receiver very very well. And you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: and keep an eye out on Sean Mcowen. He's still developmental,
Speaker 1: but he showed some things. So yeah, So two stats
Speaker 1: really jumped off the page to me about Jake Ferguson
Speaker 1: following this one. Ferguson is the first Cowboys rookie tight
Speaker 1: end to catch a touchdown pass since the late Gavin
Speaker 1: Escobar did in twenty third. Yeah, so that one first
Speaker 1: off jumped out because it was Gavin Escobar, but also
Speaker 1: it had been nine years since the Cowboys had had
Speaker 1: a rookie tight end catch a touchdown pass even longer
Speaker 1: because Jake Ferguson's four receptions on Sunday Night, we're the
Speaker 1: most in a single game by a Cowboys rookie tight
Speaker 1: end since one. Jason Witten had five catches in two
Speaker 1: thousand and three as a rookie, So you had in
Speaker 1: two thousand and three and then Gavin Escobar in twenty thirteen.
Speaker 1: Is here Jake Ferguson's among both of those? Is there
Speaker 1: an asterisk euro step in the record books? Now you
Speaker 1: gotta putt with the euro step? With with with the
Speaker 1: question slash best euro step? Do you think Fergie was
Speaker 1: practicing that in the mirror up to this point he
Speaker 1: was just waiting for his opportunity. That was sweets and
Speaker 1: he does it again, it'll be a signature of his
Speaker 1: like that. You know how they have like the Dirk
Speaker 1: shirts where he's like leaning backwards and then the Jordan
Speaker 1: logo and stuff. It'd be the Ferguson like euro step.
Speaker 1: That'd be his signature move love. He needs to go
Speaker 1: ahead and coin that You're welcome, Jake. If you're listening
Speaker 1: to Talking Cowboys, you would make some money, all right.

Speaker 1: All right, we're taking our calls caught talking to cowboys
Speaker 1: Nation here on this Talking Tuesday. We'll start things off
Speaker 1: with our guy Anthony in Miami, going down to the
Speaker 1: three h five. Anthony, you're back on talking Cowboys. How's
Speaker 1: it going? What's up? God? I appreciate y'all. Let me
Speaker 1: get this back to back. I'm going to night shop
Speaker 1: for a couple of months, so I'm gonna miss out
Speaker 1: with y'all and my other cool human So can I
Speaker 1: do my Christmas whistless right now? Please? Yeah? Okay? I wish.
Speaker 1: I wish my head coach would kind of channel his
Speaker 1: enner Jimmy Johnson and Bill Parcels and kind of get
Speaker 1: mad at these players when they commit the silly penalties,
Speaker 1: beat up saying the Parsley penalties. I mean, come on,
Speaker 1: you got to show some kind of emotion, man, and
Speaker 1: I mean it costing us, so it can't continue to happen,
Speaker 1: and you shall be working on them with getting better.
Speaker 1: So that's the problem for me, and I hope we
Speaker 1: fix it. I hope and wish my quarterback the love
Speaker 1: besides the woman loved my life, love of my life,
Speaker 1: that Frankcott go back healthy and does what he's supposed
Speaker 1: to do and leave this team. And I need three phases,
Speaker 1: the defense, the special teams, in the offense to show
Speaker 1: up every game. I don't want to hang my head
Speaker 1: on a defense. I don't want to hang my head
Speaker 1: on the offense like we did last year. I don't
Speaker 1: want to hang my head on special teams. I want
Speaker 1: all three to show up. And I believe with that
Speaker 1: and that formula, we can do damage. And to watching
Speaker 1: the show yesterday, I heard some things with our Patrick.
Speaker 1: Both of you guys made good points, but I kind
Speaker 1: of tend to side with Patrick on the fact that
Speaker 1: I wasn't too and pressed for Philly. I'm sorry, I
Speaker 1: don't think they throw it off by there. I don't
Speaker 1: think they did, because when you had twenty seventeen, it's
Speaker 1: some throwing off. I mean, you got a backup quarterback
Speaker 1: that did this with three turnovers and we were in
Speaker 1: the game. So let's just go ahead and then Dallas
Speaker 1: and beat the brakes off them next time, all right, guys,
Speaker 1: taught y'all in the New year man. Sounds good, Anthony,
Speaker 1: and get luck with the night shift and that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you'll have to, I guess watch it on the on demand,
Speaker 1: which we love having your lives. But great call. Brob.
Speaker 1: Did he miss anything on this Christmas wish wish list?
Speaker 1: Because I thought that sounded pretty good to me. He
Speaker 1: nailed it. Stop the penalties, um tackle better, like that's
Speaker 1: been their calling card on this defense, and that's the
Speaker 1: what they talked about all week because we have to tackle.
Speaker 1: We have to tackle, we have to tackle. If they
Speaker 1: didn't dan Quinn, I think he said they missed ten. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he said they missed ten, same as the same number
Speaker 1: as they had against the Giants. And he said they
Speaker 1: were as a defense, they were pissed that that was
Speaker 1: the That's what dan Quinn led with Hill press conference yesterday.
Speaker 1: He said, we're pissed. Um. You don't get and these
Speaker 1: are his quotes. You don't get a paddle on the
Speaker 1: back for uh being halfway successful. Uh. He said he
Speaker 1: wants his unit to be a kick ass crew front
Speaker 1: to back the entirety of the game, not have weak points.
Speaker 1: And he really really started harping on, uh, the well
Speaker 1: Isaiah was talking about on yesterday, as far as the
Speaker 1: being close, getting within two when he's seventeen, and then
Speaker 1: allowing that touchdown drive to kind of put the game
Speaker 1: away for Philly. He really harped on that, and you
Speaker 1: could kind of see, even though you know DQ has
Speaker 1: a mostly calm demeanor, you could see the flames in him,
Speaker 1: a little little bit of fire he was. And he
Speaker 1: said yesterday he said, you know, guys, I know ninety
Speaker 1: nine point nine percent of the time I'm half glass full,
Speaker 1: and I'm an optimist. He was like, but I get
Speaker 1: pissed off too, and that end quote, He's like, and
Speaker 1: I get pissed off too. So, ladies and gentlemen, DQ
Speaker 1: is Uh, he's pissed. So you might see that against
Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions this Sunday. What do you think I said,
Speaker 1: I think that my man's is used to getting a
Speaker 1: lot of Christmas gifts because I only got one. What's that?
Speaker 1: Growing up? I mean, my wish for the Dallas Cowboys
Speaker 1: is to score points. That's my wish for the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 1: Score points. You know, And I know a lot of
Speaker 1: people are like, I don't. People don't have to agree
Speaker 1: with me. That's why we all have our own, you know, opinions.
Speaker 1: But Dallas, m how can I say this? Okay? All right?
Speaker 1: By saying it, they're struggling offensively still, yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: and it's and it's not okay. And I know everybody's
Speaker 1: excited because Dak's coming back, but the reality is, you know,
Speaker 1: what we have seen from from Dak this year isn't
Speaker 1: much more than what we've seen from Cooper Rush this year.
Speaker 1: So I mean, I know it's only one game dose
Speaker 1: that we had of him, but we scored how many
Speaker 1: points in that game? Three? Three? So I get it.
Speaker 1: Everybody's getting the quarterback back, and they're excited and they're
Speaker 1: hyping the're talking about the possibilities and things that he's
Speaker 1: done in the past, but from what we've seen this year,
Speaker 1: we still can be base it off of what we've
Speaker 1: seen this year. So are you saying, tap the brakes
Speaker 1: on the dak is back bandwagon and let's be excited
Speaker 1: off be excited that your QB one is back. I mean,
Speaker 1: who wouldn't be that. Who wouldn't be excited that your
Speaker 1: that your starter is back and your game guy. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's your most valuable asset that you have in this
Speaker 1: organization at the player position. There's no doubt about that.
Speaker 1: But let's not act like we were lighting up the
Speaker 1: scoreboard when he was present. He had a full, healthy
Speaker 1: off season, Yeah, full camp full OTA's came in and scored,
Speaker 1: we scored three. Yeah, and down the stretch last year,
Speaker 1: the offense wasn't nearly as good as they were before
Speaker 1: the bye week last year, although he did finish with
Speaker 1: thirty five touchdown passes. I'm just I'm just a realist,
Speaker 1: you know. I don't I don't lean on either side
Speaker 1: of the fence. I'm just saying what we've seen isn't
Speaker 1: what it's been. Yeah. So I think a lot of
Speaker 1: people are with the expectation that is going to be
Speaker 1: back to you know, you know early last season throwing
Speaker 1: lighting up the scoreboard and you know, all these jars,
Speaker 1: and it's like, I don't think that it's going to
Speaker 1: be that much of a light switch immediately, at least
Speaker 1: I'm I hear you and making you make great points.
Speaker 1: I'm excited about him coming back into the formula that
Speaker 1: they've created Offensively. I think they're doing a better job
Speaker 1: scheming things up to whoever's the quarterback to have success.
Speaker 1: And I hear I've heard this in the last couple
Speaker 1: of weeks with Cooper Russian here, It's like, well, but
Speaker 1: Dak's making this much money, why should they run kind
Speaker 1: of this run first offense and play your defense if
Speaker 1: you're you know, he's supposed to be the guy and
Speaker 1: all that. Hey Man, Troy Aikman had a running game,
Speaker 1: Troikeman had a hell of a defense. Troichman had a
Speaker 1: hell of an offensive line. Like, how's it working out
Speaker 1: for Aaron Rodgers right now without kind of the same
Speaker 1: pieces he's used to playing with in the past. It's
Speaker 1: okay to have a good system around a quarterback. I'm
Speaker 1: excited about what they've I think they found that can
Speaker 1: work with that coming in as a better player to
Speaker 1: run that offense. Yeah. You know what scares me a
Speaker 1: little bit about this game coming up and we'll dive
Speaker 1: into this on Wednesday and Thursday. It's I got this
Speaker 1: gut feeling. It's bubble guts. It's barbecue in the Miller light.
Speaker 1: It's the you look at the coffee of Miller light.
Speaker 1: I guess I should say barbecue of Miller light actually
Speaker 1: sounds great. It feels like last week are last year.
Speaker 1: It feels like you come off of that Minnesota game. Now,
Speaker 1: you won the Minnesota game with Cooper Rush. You came
Speaker 1: off of a big win. It was a huge game
Speaker 1: in prime time. This one you didn't win. But then
Speaker 1: what happened the week after that, Denver Broncos came into town.
Speaker 1: You had back to back home games against teams that
Speaker 1: were winnable games Denver and Atlanta. You felt like, oh, okay,
Speaker 1: we're fine, We're getting Dak back. We're gonna win this game.
Speaker 1: We're gonna win it by a hundred. It's not gonna happen.
Speaker 1: That's what this reminds me of. I'm not going to
Speaker 1: lie to you. It's a big time Prime primetime game
Speaker 1: on the road. Then you have back to back games
Speaker 1: at home against winnable opponents. You get Dak Prescott back
Speaker 1: for the first one, and you're gonna beat the Lions
Speaker 1: by a hundred. Don't count out this game as a
Speaker 1: close game. Well first, don't do it, first and foremost,
Speaker 1: And I've said this at several points when we were
Speaker 1: doing our Friday predictions when it comes to the Lions.
Speaker 1: And I'm a huge fan of Dan Campbell, and if
Speaker 1: you're a Cowboys fan, you should be a fan of
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell as well. But he has the Lions as scrappy,
Speaker 1: like you saw what happened last week. Okay, fine, you
Speaker 1: saw what happened, you know, before they went into the
Speaker 1: bye week. Not pretty. But this is a Lions team
Speaker 1: that can push you to the limit, and they will
Speaker 1: scratch and they will claw, and they will they will
Speaker 1: bite at your knee caps and try to get the
Speaker 1: win if at all possible. So, and I kind of
Speaker 1: adopting and I accentuating I should say, as Isaiah's point is,
Speaker 1: you have to respect these opponents and the Lions. It
Speaker 1: could be viewed as a trap game, but again I
Speaker 1: don't view that there's a such thing when you have
Speaker 1: a Michael Parsons on your on your defense, and especially
Speaker 1: Michael Parson's coming off of a loss. Is a fully
Speaker 1: healthy Michael Parsons, That's my biggest question. Fair. That's fair.
Speaker 1: But the good thing about the Cowboys defense and a
Speaker 1: piste off dan Quinn is that there they operate as
Speaker 1: a whole unit. Right, So it's not overtly dependent upon
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons having to be that dude on any given week.
Speaker 1: If he is, then it's that much more dominant. If
Speaker 1: he's not, somebody else would likely step up in his
Speaker 1: place and help, and you know he's still going to
Speaker 1: cause disruptions. So for the so on, the question just
Speaker 1: goes back to the can the offense hit the ground
Speaker 1: running or at least continue to do what they've been doing.
Speaker 1: Don't get away from leaning on the run, leaning on
Speaker 1: the ru with Ezekiel Elliott, Tony Pollard. Let your offensive
Speaker 1: line kind of try to set the tone so that
Speaker 1: you can set up a play action and the lion's
Speaker 1: pass rush is not teen off or trying to tee
Speaker 1: off against your quarterback who just got back into the game.
Speaker 1: So is this a winnable game. It absolutely sure are
Speaker 1: the Cowboys going to route them by a hundred stop
Speaker 1: that that's nonsense. This is the NFL. Those guys get
Speaker 1: paid too. But it's something. It's a game that the
Speaker 1: Cowboys should win handily if they're operating on all cylinders
Speaker 1: and play mistake free football. And we'll dive into the
Speaker 1: details of that tomorrow and then Thursday and Friday, even
Speaker 1: for say, with your chest Friday as well. But let's
Speaker 1: go out to Bob in Nashville. Bob, you're back on
Speaker 1: talking Cowboys. How's it going any, great fellows, great conversation.
Speaker 1: I hit the nail on the head with me to
Speaker 1: One of the things I was calling about was listen
Speaker 1: to the Philadelphia game. Okay, it's over with. It's one game.
Speaker 1: Let's move on. We need to get these next two
Speaker 1: games going into the bye. Yep. So we're six and two.
Speaker 1: We need to focus on those two games and getting
Speaker 1: better offensively. I think that's the key, not looking back
Speaker 1: and lamenting about Philadelphia, but just going back to some
Speaker 1: of the point you made earlier. I really want to
Speaker 1: keep Honor McGovern in at the left guard, and I
Speaker 1: want to keep using these young tight Ends. I think
Speaker 1: you got something with those people. I think we need
Speaker 1: to not put in you know, maybe Jason Peters, maybe
Speaker 1: I just have him as a backup right now. Just
Speaker 1: let this guy grow immature and develop with this line.
Speaker 1: And also same thing with the tight Ends. I think
Speaker 1: they are good enough to replace Schultz, and let's wait
Speaker 1: till he's healthy completely and then spot him in. But
Speaker 1: I like the youth movement and I want to continue
Speaker 1: with that downroad. I just want to hear your thoughts
Speaker 1: on that. Thanks, guys, appreciate you. Bob, And he brings
Speaker 1: up the concerns of multiple people. I know Nate Newton
Speaker 1: across the way is saying put one of them in
Speaker 1: piket and go, which right now, if that was the case,
Speaker 1: it would be Tona mcgoverns over, wouldn't be Jason Peters.
Speaker 1: Jason Peters with just the four snaps. I even asked
Speaker 1: McCarthy about that yesterday in the press conference and he
Speaker 1: was like, well, Peters didn't play enough to really really
Speaker 1: warrant a thought process or an evaluation. But I know, Isaiah,
Speaker 1: you've been big on the Peters bandwagon. Has that shifted
Speaker 1: it all over the last couple of weeks it has.
Speaker 1: He hasn't been asked when he has been in the game.
Speaker 1: I haven't seen enough out of him. I think that
Speaker 1: first game he came in and him made some really
Speaker 1: good blocks of Fredding wise, but overall, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think he needs to being more consistently in order
Speaker 1: to even get comfortable with this unit. And it's kind
Speaker 1: of a government playing poor enough to where you can
Speaker 1: constitute a replacement. I really don't think he has not.
Speaker 1: And to Nate's point, you know, when you're rotating offensive
Speaker 1: lightning in, it's the one position in football that you know,
Speaker 1: aside from the specialists, that don't have substitutes, So it's
Speaker 1: kind of odd. It's kind of odd that you're rotating
Speaker 1: these guys in and you expect them to all be
Speaker 1: productive and effective when they need to work in solidarity together.
Speaker 1: So it's just a bad it's a bad situation. So
Speaker 1: I agree, either you go with McGovern, I like him both.
Speaker 1: I like Peters better, but I haven't seen enough of
Speaker 1: him consistently, and he hasn't seen enough of himself consistently.
Speaker 1: You can't. You can't go in there four plays and
Speaker 1: impact as a lineman. Many suck It was a good
Speaker 1: question by Babe Laffenberg because he said he followed up
Speaker 1: on your question and he said, I imagine the plan
Speaker 1: wasn't to just give him only four plays, and he said, well,
Speaker 1: third series was the plan, and then we revisit in
Speaker 1: the second half, but they didn't go back to him.
Speaker 1: So I'm not sure, but I'm kind of with Nate
Speaker 1: like it's just unusual to have a rotation on the
Speaker 1: offensive line. That's just not common. So I think it.
Speaker 1: I wonder if by now they were expecting Jason Peters
Speaker 1: to probably be the starter and it just hasn't worked
Speaker 1: out that way yet. You know, maybe the injury set
Speaker 1: him back a little bit. We'll see. I think that
Speaker 1: was the case. I think exactly right, Rob. I think
Speaker 1: the Cowboys felt that the timing of signing Jason Peters
Speaker 1: and you know, the timing they needed to ramp him
Speaker 1: up because they were basically saying, well, September was training
Speaker 1: camp for Jason Peters. Okay, well now we're going into
Speaker 1: late October. The chest injury obviously set him back, and
Speaker 1: then you have to wonder, you know, when he got
Speaker 1: in against the Eagles, maybe they saw that he was
Speaker 1: still kind of struggling, you know, holding his blocks, probably
Speaker 1: you know, because of the residuals coming from that chest injury.
Speaker 1: But nonetheless, here we are two weeks away from the bye.
Speaker 1: Connor McGovern has played well enough to remain the starter.
Speaker 1: So my thought process is, you already know what you
Speaker 1: haven't Tyler Smith. You just continue to you know, develop
Speaker 1: peters in the system. So that should McGovern take a
Speaker 1: step back at the wrong time, start taking a step back,
Speaker 1: then you say, okay, we're going to do a full swap.
Speaker 1: But I'm with Big Nate stopped the rotation. I think
Speaker 1: we're at the point of the season where it needs
Speaker 1: to be solid, especially with your injury healed QB one
Speaker 1: coming back from injury. It needs to be and a
Speaker 1: solid five in front of him, and with a left
Speaker 1: tackle that's a rookie two. I mean, he's been playing well.
Speaker 1: I really like what Tyler Smith has done. Sure, he's
Speaker 1: given up acts, he's given up pressures. Everybody does whenever
Speaker 1: they're a rookie playing at left tackle. But he's really
Speaker 1: done well. From a standpoint of growing, He'll grow even
Speaker 1: more and even quicker whenever he's got a steady guy
Speaker 1: to the right side of him as well, and Condo
Speaker 1: McGovern's played better than Jason Peters at this point. It's
Speaker 1: been a super small sample size, but Connor McGovern's played better,
Speaker 1: so let's keep that in mind. All right, let's take
Speaker 1: our second break. We're gonna still take some calls eight eight, eight, five,
Speaker 1: five two two nine seven. We'll maybe have time for
Speaker 1: one or two more and when we come back with
Speaker 1: more talking cowboys presented by Black Rifle Coffee Company. Todd

Speaker 1: Welcome back into Talking cowboyssented by Black Rifle Coffee Company
Speaker 1: from the starting Frisco too much Miller Light in his call,
Speaker 1: Yeah that's too much this morning, Black Rifle, Miller Light.
Speaker 1: But with Combo. I'm glad I was able to draw
Speaker 1: you guys into that has a nice change up from
Speaker 1: the All right, let's go to Irvin in Denver. We're
Speaker 1: going all around the country this morning. Irvin, how's it
Speaker 1: going you're on Talking Cowboys. I'm doing good, guys, Thanks
Speaker 1: for having my call. Uh was listening to you guys
Speaker 1: a little bit yesterday actually for the whole show. And
Speaker 1: one hundred percent agreed with Patrick yesterday. There was a
Speaker 1: point in that game when we've got to twenty to seventeen.
Speaker 1: I think Philadelphia realized after Lane Johnson had gotten hurt
Speaker 1: and they lost their starting guard too, that they were
Speaker 1: kind of placed on the ropes, you know, by our
Speaker 1: defense at that point. I really think we were taking
Speaker 1: control of that game. They realized get back their run games,
Speaker 1: which they did, and I was kind of hoping that
Speaker 1: our defense would that kind of stop that run, that
Speaker 1: whole drive really kind of like stop the game. Well,
Speaker 1: that's all I really got to say. What you got
Speaker 1: to think about that? Thanks? Thanks so much, Irvan, appreciate
Speaker 1: your call from Denver, and I mean two to nothing.
Speaker 1: I guess if we're keeping listening to, wisdom is strong
Speaker 1: within these callers. Irvin. I appreciate you. Um, I respect
Speaker 1: you as a Dallas Cowboys fan, avid talking Cowboys listener,
Speaker 1: you know, loyal. However, typically when you make a statement
Speaker 1: saying that a team was in control, if you're in
Speaker 1: control in your seeming league, you know, stopping teams moving
Speaker 1: the ball, whatever it might be, you just had that
Speaker 1: confidence that you're gonna win the game because you're in
Speaker 1: control you feel like it, then you don't get the
Speaker 1: ball ran on your eleva strate times all the way
Speaker 1: down field and then get a touchdown. You're not in
Speaker 1: control if you can't stop a team from running the
Speaker 1: ball eleven straight times. That's me controlling you. If I
Speaker 1: want to control you. If I'm playing Madden, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: hand the ball off because you can't stop it, right,
Speaker 1: you can't freaking stop it. If I'm playing the wing t.
Speaker 1: Why was the wing t so good back in the day.
Speaker 1: Can't stop it, can't freaking stop it. Why am I
Speaker 1: gonna put it in the air and give you an
Speaker 1: opportunity when it's a higher precision, as a higher chance
Speaker 1: that I'm gonna turn the ball over putting it in
Speaker 1: the air, I can keep it on the ground and
Speaker 1: just move the chains if you can't stop me from
Speaker 1: moving the chains on the ground. You were never in control. So,
Speaker 1: regardless of what the score was, regardless of what your
Speaker 1: sweet little emotions feel like everybody out here, you were
Speaker 1: never in control of that game. Yes, you closed the gap,
Speaker 1: but what did the Philly do? Philly said, all right, well,
Speaker 1: let's go back to doing what we know what we
Speaker 1: were doing. Well, I don't know why we were trying
Speaker 1: to throw the ball ahead of a while ago. But
Speaker 1: let's go back and hand this thing off again and
Speaker 1: again again again, just like Novoca again. I'm always work.
Speaker 1: So I hear you and I and I want to
Speaker 1: be on board, but I can't be on board. I'm sorry, y'all.
Speaker 1: I'm my metat the truth. Regardless of how how how
Speaker 1: bad that medicine taste, Dallas was not in control. It
Speaker 1: just felt good because the score looked goodbutt coming, all right,
Speaker 1: So I'm all for rubbing the testing on it. Right. Um,
Speaker 1: I disagree again and that they were never in control
Speaker 1: because control is a moment to moment thing. So what
Speaker 1: you're saying is that they regained control by running the
Speaker 1: ball eleven straight times, but they didn't actually lose control
Speaker 1: by allowing the Cowboys to score seventeen straight points and
Speaker 1: make it a three point a fair. So nodes not
Speaker 1: tomato tomatoes, tomato pumpkin shout out to think about it
Speaker 1: this way. If we if we if we're if we're
Speaker 1: in a vehicle and I don't have control of the
Speaker 1: vehicle in that moment, right, you're taking us all over
Speaker 1: the place. You're all over the lanes and I'm sitting
Speaker 1: I'm just along for the ride. That's in that moment. Yes,
Speaker 1: Now what if in the next moment, I grabbed the wheel,
Speaker 1: put us back in the lane, and now we're going
Speaker 1: where I want us to go. In that moment, I'm
Speaker 1: in control. But then I don't equate that equate that
Speaker 1: analogy to what happened then with the eleven straight runs
Speaker 1: that you grabbing the wheel again and say no, I'm
Speaker 1: taking control. Say so. My whole point is there was
Speaker 1: a point in that game, Yes, that the Cowboys were
Speaker 1: in control and threatened to come back and win, and
Speaker 1: the Eagles, to their credit, they regained control, But that
Speaker 1: them regaining control doesn't delete the fact that the Cowboys
Speaker 1: actually took it from them at some point, which made
Speaker 1: that a winnable game before. That's all I'm saying. I
Speaker 1: see your point, and I raise you if I want to.
Speaker 1: It's cool outside. Why am I the pump kissing? I
Speaker 1: keep my thermostat, you know, I keep the thermosat said
Speaker 1: at about seventy two in the crib. Okay, he said
Speaker 1: about seventy two. Yes, no, that's good for me. Seventy Now,
Speaker 1: I don't want to use my AC, right, So I
Speaker 1: popped the windows open like dbo right, I cracked the
Speaker 1: windows open. I'm saying, you know what, I need the
Speaker 1: outside to regulate the temperature on the inside. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: try something different. Okay, I'm gonna try something different. I
Speaker 1: know the AC works, but I don't want to run
Speaker 1: that thing right, So I'm gonna go ahead, prop this
Speaker 1: window open. Hopefully, hopefully my temperature regulates on the inside.
Speaker 1: Guess guess what exactly what? So two o'clock this morning,
Speaker 1: my allergy started acting up right, and it wasn't It
Speaker 1: wasn't a temperature that I need to set on the
Speaker 1: thermosat So what I do? I went back to I
Speaker 1: know what works. I closed the dog on window and
Speaker 1: I turned the AC back on, and guess what it regulated.
Speaker 1: That's Philadelphia Legos. Try some different, they said, I lost,
Speaker 1: this ain't working. That ain't working. So I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: back to what I know works because they can't stop it.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that the never that you said. That's
Speaker 1: see okay, get here. I am sitting right in the
Speaker 1: addle of this argument again because I agree with things
Speaker 1: that Patrick's saying. Because they had a chance to win
Speaker 1: that football game. That was a winnable football Philadelphia kept
Speaker 1: doing with you. But I also agree with Isaiah and
Speaker 1: the fact that I don't think Dallas ever had control
Speaker 1: at that same moment in the ball game that Patrick's
Speaker 1: talking about. They had a chance to take control and
Speaker 1: they didn't. They had a chance to stop Philadelphia there
Speaker 1: and they didn't. That's where I sit in this argument,
Speaker 1: because I think it was a winnable game if you
Speaker 1: would have retaken control. But Philly was in control of
Speaker 1: that game all the way through. It's hard for me
Speaker 1: to say a team is in control when you're down
Speaker 1: at any point in the ball game. Really, you have
Speaker 1: to take the lead or have a chance to go
Speaker 1: take the lead. For me to say that, I don't
Speaker 1: agree with don't. I don't fully agree with that because
Speaker 1: I go back to the Super Bowl against Atlanta, Right,
Speaker 1: we're gonna same page on that one. But Rob Pie,
Speaker 1: if you're extreme, but then, but who did you feel
Speaker 1: like it was in control the game when you got
Speaker 1: to overtime, But it was a time when they were down,
Speaker 1: you still felt like New England was in control of
Speaker 1: that game even with them down. You just know I
Speaker 1: felt it I don't know what you felt beside from
Speaker 1: the bubble guy. Everybody knows. But there's a shift of
Speaker 1: control that's coming. You can feel like a shift of control,
Speaker 1: that would be, but that's not the same of actually
Speaker 1: being in control. Okay, So feelings, you got to control
Speaker 1: your own destiny in that moment for you to be
Speaker 1: in control. If you're down by three, but you can
Speaker 1: drive and take the lead, I would I would call
Speaker 1: that aid in control. If you're down by more than
Speaker 1: a touchdown, or if you're down by a certain amount
Speaker 1: of points that keep you out of that, then I
Speaker 1: don't know. We gotta go walk because a tintel too, Rapie.
Speaker 1: I want you to be off as a coordinator. Okay,
Speaker 1: your team's up. Okay, you've had success running the ball,
Speaker 1: You've had sess throwing the ball. Right, you're in four
Speaker 1: minute offense. What are you doing four minute office, Rappie?
Speaker 1: If you want to control the rest of the game,
Speaker 1: I'm doing what I do best. And for the Eagles,
Speaker 1: it's the RPO stuff and running the ball and trying
Speaker 1: to control the clock, Thank you very much. That's what
Speaker 1: they did and they they were the better team, and
Speaker 1: some of that was self inflicted by Dallas. They were
Speaker 1: the better team in that particular game. I think the
Speaker 1: Cowboys defensively can play so much better than they did.
Speaker 1: Some of that is what Philly does. That is a
Speaker 1: pain in the ass for anybody to play against. And
Speaker 1: that's why I think I agree with both of you guys,
Speaker 1: because I think Philly's legit. I think they're going to
Speaker 1: be a challenge for everybody they play. The question that
Speaker 1: they're going to run into though at some point, and
Speaker 1: maybe it's Dallas on Christmas Eve, when teams can keep
Speaker 1: up with them scoring wise, to take the RPO out
Speaker 1: of it a little bit, that they haven't run into
Speaker 1: that yet, that's going to be the key. And if
Speaker 1: they don't stay healthy offensively. To close an argument, the
Speaker 1: one thing I disagree with what you're saying is no,
Speaker 1: So why are you closing argument to me? Because because
Speaker 1: point I'll simply quote cold play and then I'll toss
Speaker 1: it over to you. Just because you're losing doesn't mean
Speaker 1: that you've lost. So if you're in that being said,
Speaker 1: that's not what I'm saying. No, you're saying that you can't.
Speaker 1: You don't envision that a team can be in control
Speaker 1: unless they control their own destiny. That's what it's literally
Speaker 1: in the same control your own destiny, which if you're
Speaker 1: down by a score or more, then you don't control
Speaker 1: your own destiny. You can get back into it's sure,
Speaker 1: but you're not in football by taking control. You know,
Speaker 1: that's the only way you get back into it. But
Speaker 1: you're not in control. You would have to take it
Speaker 1: and in the present and think you're in control. And
Speaker 1: it was taken science in the moment, which is how
Speaker 1: they got seventeen consecutive. They didn't have the ball. They
Speaker 1: didn't have the ball in that point they gave the ball.
Speaker 1: The ball was with Philadelphia. All right, we can Hey,
Speaker 1: real quickly, I'm taking control of this podcast back. I'm
Speaker 1: taking control back at the moment, Al in the DMV
Speaker 1: is calling, and I believe it's the first time caller,
Speaker 1: so I want to get to him before the end
Speaker 1: of the show. Al, how's it going. You're on Talking Cowboys?
Speaker 1: Gonna be so mad at us doing great fellas. I
Speaker 1: love your show, I love the Cowboys. I've been in
Speaker 1: Cowboys fans for fifty six years. Real quick, I know
Speaker 1: we're coming to the end of this show. Um, I
Speaker 1: feel I feel as if as if they were flat
Speaker 1: coming out. I've watched the Cowboys for fifty six years.
Speaker 1: They were flat, and I think the reason they were flat,
Speaker 1: which they didn't really have an excuse because it was
Speaker 1: a divisional game. But coming off the Rams, I think
Speaker 1: they they put it all out there and they started flat,
Speaker 1: got behind. I don't think Philadelphia is better. I think
Speaker 1: that we did not make the defensive adjustments that we
Speaker 1: needed to make on the play to Brown, where Michael
Speaker 1: was put in a predicament where he had to play pickles,
Speaker 1: and to me, we should have adjusted. They ran that
Speaker 1: play early, they beat us on it, and they came
Speaker 1: back to it a couple of times and they beat
Speaker 1: us on it. And I do not lastly blame Cooper
Speaker 1: Russ because he that last pass to CD would have
Speaker 1: been six had we had good protection. That's it. I
Speaker 1: love you guys, have a good day. Thanks all. Appreciate
Speaker 1: appreciate you listening. He brings up the it's almost the
Speaker 1: counter argument of a couple things that we had talked
Speaker 1: about previously, because up Rush had put it into situations
Speaker 1: on multiple occasions that didn't necessarily work out in his favor.
Speaker 1: But he didn't have a ton of help around him
Speaker 1: at the same time that really allowed him to be successful.
Speaker 1: For instance, Brandon Graham coming off the edge and just
Speaker 1: flattening Cooper Rush as he was trying to let go
Speaker 1: of that football. It had an effect on the throw.
Speaker 1: It really did in that occasion specifically. Okay, oh it
Speaker 1: sure did, No, it did. I think we got to
Speaker 1: give the Eagles credit for making things tough on the Cowboys.
Speaker 1: I don't think the Cowboys solely beat themselves in this game,
Speaker 1: but I can't wait to see the rematch. You guys,
Speaker 1: at least some of it. Wait, those sailed passes, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: some of it. He had an inaccurate day. There was
Speaker 1: an armed talent level that's going to rise with Dak
Speaker 1: being back correct playing and simple correct. Well, we're gonna
Speaker 1: talk about that tomorrow, are we. Yeah, it's the Cowboys
Speaker 1: and it's the Lions. Were turning the page, gentlemen, we're
Speaker 1: putting this one in the review mirror. We're not gonna
Speaker 1: let the Eagles beat us twice. It's not gonna happen.
Speaker 1: You're not gonna let them beat you twice. You're gonna
Speaker 1: go into this week and you're to be well prepared.
Speaker 1: At least we are as a show here on Talking
Speaker 1: Cowboys for Chris Beam, Rob Phillips, Isaiah Stanback, Patrick Nose
Speaker 1: walk around, Kyle Yoman saying so long from the Star
Speaker 1: in Frisco. We'll see tomorrow with more Talking Cowboys. This
Speaker 1: has been a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
