Gentlemen, how are we doing on this 0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:06.199 Tuesday as well? Ready to get your mojo back? Yeah? Yeah, 0:01:06.400 --> 0:01:08.720 freaking go. This feels like one of those days where 0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:11.880 another week you have your pre workout. No yeas am 0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:14.480 I jack? They bugging? Yeah? Yeah? I thought about it, 0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:15.640 but I didn't want to come in too hot on 0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:19.200 your boys a day, you know what I mean. I 0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:22.160 literally at five forty five am this morning, in the 0:01:22.160 --> 0:01:23.720 middle of the class, I was about to grab I 0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:25.280 was about to grab my energy drink, and I was like, 0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:28.120 you know, what Ky might not be ready for the 0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:31.080 Sea four this morning. He couldn't handle it. Yeah, I 0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:33.959 really could not. Ears were burning. Yeah, the ears were 0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:35.760 burning by the end of the show, and then I 0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:38.679 got ask I got upstairs and I felt like I 0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:41.200 was going to fall over. That was not great. I 0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:43.440 didn't have anything to eat that morning too. I think 0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:47.160 that was probably the problem with that, because I just 0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:51.080 chugged half of that Sea four drink and Energy Drink 0:01:51.200 --> 0:01:54.520 ride on an empty stomach after waking up and come 0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:56.880 into the studio. You get rough p one that didn't 0:01:56.920 --> 0:02:01.360 work out. Yeah, I'm good. Actually, yeah, you got plenty 0:02:01.400 --> 0:02:04.320 of energy. Actually yeah, huh, you got plenty of energy. 0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:07.120 Good to go. We canna say that you got a 0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:11.640 two year old. That's that's always negotiable, but I'm making it. 0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:13.520 You could tell as soon as you took that thing, 0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:22.480 your people started just going my Ladys style. Zowski. How 0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:25.360 you feeling today? I feel great today. Actually, that's probably 0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:27.799 the best I've felt in the last week, because I've 0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:30.200 been kind of kicking a cold all week long and 0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:32.880 I've had an allophy. I think it was allergies because 0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:36.639 usually every fall, like for a week, I it just 0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:38.600 knocks me out and this might have been that week, 0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:41.320 but I feel better today. So my windows open the 0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:44.840 last few days, just enjoying the cool weathers. Turn my 0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:49.679 off St. Crisp. Yeah, it's been companies. I'll kiss my 0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:55.120 button this month this season. Oh four. I agree, it's gold. 0:02:55.360 --> 0:02:57.440 I'm right there with you. We are going to take 0:02:57.480 --> 0:02:59.720 your calls today eight eight eight eight five five two 0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:01.639 two ninety seven. You can go ahead and get in 0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:04.480 line on the phone calls. Chris Beam will answer it 0:03:04.560 --> 0:03:05.880 in the back and then we'll talk to you and 0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:10.120 get your idea of how you're thinking this Cowboys season 0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:11.919 is going. They're at four and two. They just fell 0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:15.200 to the Philadelphia Eagles twenty six to seventeen. The final 0:03:15.240 --> 0:03:18.480 score from Lincoln Financial Field Rob Phillips. Any news and 0:03:18.600 --> 0:03:20.960 notes for us to hit today. Nothing too much new 0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:23.520 from Jerry Jones on the Fan just a few minutes 0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:27.440 ago with Sean and RJ. He did say kind of 0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:31.040 echoing what Mike McCarthy said yesterday about Dak's status for 0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:35.280 the week. He said, Dak's determined to play, and he 0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:37.720 thinks he's gonna get there. They haven't said, oh, he's 0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:40.800 starting Sunday against the Detroit Lions. But with a good 0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:43.720 week of practice, I think that's certainly the plan. Mike 0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:46.400 said yesterday he's gonna have a full throwing load on 0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:49.080 Wednesday and that he should be cleared in time for 0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:52.400 Wednesday's practice to you know, do whatever he needs to 0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:54.000 do out there and get ready to play the game. 0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:56.520 So they'll just see how it goes. The other thing 0:03:56.560 --> 0:03:58.600 that stood out to me, noc I would say from 0:03:58.720 --> 0:04:01.080 Jerry as he said, you know, we're a better in 0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:03.680 so many words, we're a better football team now than 0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:06.520 we were before Dak got hurt. So there's a better 0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:09.280 group around him. You think about the number of young 0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:11.760 guys who have played now six games this year, and 0:04:11.920 --> 0:04:14.160 so they're in a better spot for him coming back 0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:17.560 to make a run here. I agree with that that statement. 0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:20.359 It's something that Mike McCarthy said yesterday in his press conference. 0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:23.760 Keep in mind, when Dak Prescott last played, it was 0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:25.800 Week one and there was a lot to be figured out. 0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:27.320 On the offensive side of the ball. You had to 0:04:27.320 --> 0:04:30.000 figure out the wide receiver corps, which was without Michael Gallop. 0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:33.920 Tyler Smith had spent the entirety of training camp at 0:04:34.000 --> 0:04:36.200 left guard. He was being pop back out the left tackle. 0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:40.040 Connor McGovern got some reps in August at center, but 0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:42.200 now he's being moved back to the definitive left guard. 0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:44.480 What's going on there? So, the last time Dak Prescott 0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:46.360 was on the field for the Cowboys, there was a 0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:49.159 there were a whole lot of question marks, but now 0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:52.200 still have some question marks, but not as many. We 0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:54.680 know what Tyler Smith can do at left tackle, We're 0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:57.440 starting to see what Connor McGovern can be at left guard. 0:04:57.520 --> 0:04:59.880 And Jason Peters is in the mix again after return 0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:02.120 last week from that that chest injury that that cost 0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:04.360 him to Los Angeles game. So it looks like the 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:08.400 offensive line is is much more set than it was 0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:11.120 back in Week one, and that's only going to work 0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:14.920 toward helping Dak Prescott get back into prime form more quickly. Now. 0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:18.600 As Isaiah, myself, Colin and Rob have continuously said, do 0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:21.040 we expect Dak Prescott to hit the ground running. We 0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:23.040 would love for it to happen, but we don't expect 0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:24.640 that that's going to be the case. He still has 0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:27.880 to get the timing, like Mike McCarthy said, with the offense, uh, 0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:31.279 get the timing back with Ceedee Lamb, Michael Gallup, Noah Brown, 0:05:31.640 --> 0:05:34.680 who's basically now the definitive wide receiver three. Obviously that 0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:38.360 was not the case in twenty twenty one. Isaiah is 0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:41.679 doing the bugout look. So I'm going to toss to Isaiah. 0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:43.160 You know, I want to know what that looks. Yeah, 0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:48.520 what was the we questioning Noah's arc question said he's 0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:52.039 definitive number three? I just yeah, I think he's number two. Huh. 0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:54.640 You think he's number two? Orderline one, that's what he's saying. 0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:58.320 You think he's one. Okay, Now I'm gonna bug you 0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:03.600 with with the previous regime. Let's say that with the rush, 0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:07.640 with the rush hour, that's number one rush hours. The stats, 0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:11.960 I know you're not thirty some yards on that last 0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:14.160 drive like they didn't terrorists. We talked about this a 0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:17.160 couple weeks ago. We're talking about quarterbacks and they have 0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:19.680 their guys cite. Lamb had four catches for thirty some 0:06:19.800 --> 0:06:21.520 our yards before that last game. He has one hundred 0:06:21.560 --> 0:06:27.800 and twenty more yards and another touchdown and thirteen further 0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:32.080 receptions than Noah Brown. More attempts, probably too, more targets 0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:36.000 for sure, because he's a number two, Noah Brown has 0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:39.160 a higher catcher percentage. I mean maybe I don't know. 0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:41.360 Let me let me look at the targets. Let's be 0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:45.600 clear here walking down that there, Rob Yeah, I'll tell 0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:48.520 you what y'all take. Noah Brown and I thrown the 0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:50.480 ball and I'll tell you most of the time he 0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:52.359 gonna come down with it, and at times he doesn't. 0:06:52.400 --> 0:06:56.320 It's a quarterback's fault. It's a ricky Bobby, I know, 0:06:57.839 --> 0:06:59.920 but I don't know what to do with my hands. 0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:07.080 We love Noah, we love absolutely. I am extremely interested 0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:11.160 to see who becomes the most targeted when QB one 0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:14.440 comes back, because last year it was it was Dalton. 0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:18.760 But something else that stuck out with Jerry's interview this 0:07:18.880 --> 0:07:22.040 morning is he said there's a quote unquote question mark 0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:25.160 about the return of Dalton Shots from his injury, as in, 0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:27.040 will he be back on the field for the lines? 0:07:27.040 --> 0:07:29.280 Where will he not? And what really stuck out was 0:07:29.360 --> 0:07:32.960 the fact that Jerry used the word surprised when he 0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:37.440 described Dalton Shots being made inactive after what was his 0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:41.720 practice last week? Limited? Limited full? Uh? And then he 0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:46.040 was inactive on Sunday, which okay, um, But then that 0:07:46.160 --> 0:07:47.800 led you to believe it's like, okay, well that was 0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:51.280 unexpected for us, but they knew something. Okay, there you go. 0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:53.080 But then you hear Jerry this morning saying, well, that 0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:54.920 was a bit of a surprise, and then your eyes 0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:57.720 kind of you know, get white, like okay, so what 0:07:57.840 --> 0:08:01.640 do we okay? So interesting interesting things. He was not 0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:05.440 He did not have an injury designation for correct And 0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:09.480 what Mike said yesterday was he he likened it to 0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:13.400 Dak like he's healthy enough, but it's a timing thing. 0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:16.800 It just didn't feel right or something like that coming 0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:18.800 off this knee injury. I'm about to read as his 0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:20.960 mind because I who are on the same page when 0:08:21.040 --> 0:08:22.800 Jerry said that this morning, and this is me Now 0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:25.400 I'm wondering out loud. I was wondering quietly, but let 0:08:25.440 --> 0:08:31.559 me let me let me wonder. I'm wondering if because 0:08:31.600 --> 0:08:33.839 we talked about one side of the coin, in that 0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:37.839 it's a franchise tag gear for for dawn shows, he 0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:40.680 can't afford to not be on the field. But then again, 0:08:41.040 --> 0:08:42.640 flip it up to the other side of the field, 0:08:42.720 --> 0:08:44.800 the other side of the coin. He cannot afford to 0:08:44.960 --> 0:08:48.199 play hurt and see his value diminished. Then you look 0:08:48.240 --> 0:08:50.840 at the last couple of games he gets out there, 0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:54.680 he's trying to battle through it, but he's not Cooper's guy, 0:08:55.240 --> 0:08:59.000 so he's not getting the targets, which then devalues the 0:09:00.160 --> 0:09:03.640 purpose of him fighting through the injuries. So maybe this 0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:06.280 is just me wondering out loud. Maybe don't shows. It's like, well, 0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:08.880 you know what, until qv one gets back, I don't 0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:12.280 see the value in fighting through this spring PCL And 0:09:12.520 --> 0:09:14.880 you know, call me when forward's back under center. Oh 0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:18.560 now I'm wondering out loud. Okay, So that's not that's 0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:25.319 not concrete. That's just your process. We're building a contiracy series. 0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:28.120 It's me wondering out loud. We we've talked about this 0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:32.319 before though around separate other positions that are looking for 0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:36.079 contract renewals, like Dalton Schultze is this season. Most of 0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:38.599 the time, even if you're banged up, you want to 0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:42.880 play because that's gonna try and force your your hand 0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:46.719 and negotiations as well as would you see it with 0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:50.840 last year Ezekiel that wasn't even end into a contract. 0:09:50.920 --> 0:09:54.880 Nego track contract negotiation always, it's always in a contract negotiation, 0:09:55.160 --> 0:09:56.920 you gotta be you gotta be able to check those 0:09:57.040 --> 0:09:58.720 years up. So that's the reason why you saw him 0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:00.400 push through last year, aside from the fact he's out 0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:02.040 there trying to give it his all. I mean that's 0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:03.480 not but he was, like he was about the money. 0:10:03.480 --> 0:10:05.160 He was still getting his handoffs. Yeah, he was still 0:10:05.160 --> 0:10:06.800 getting his hands because I mean he's a dog, so 0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:08.520 I mean he's but he's he was putting out. So 0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:12.040 it's a counter argument, possibly to the situation that you're 0:10:12.080 --> 0:10:14.360 proposing right now. Zeke was out there trying to do 0:10:14.440 --> 0:10:16.320 everything he could. Even though we everybody in the world 0:10:16.440 --> 0:10:17.880 knew that he was banged up and he was nowhere 0:10:17.920 --> 0:10:19.800 near one hundred percent, he was still giving you what 0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:25.880 he had. So Dalton Schultz not available, Dak Prescott looks 0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:28.040 like he's on his way back. Anything else from News 0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:30.480 and Notes yesterday, That's kind of the ones that stuck 0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:32.679 out to me. I mean, we're in Dak mode here, 0:10:32.800 --> 0:10:35.520 but I I would be shocked if he's not starting 0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:39.600 in the Sunday stunting. Yeah, So how do you guys 0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:41.240 think the young tit Ends played in the game speak? 0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:45.880 I was just about to ask answer yes, yes, elaborate 0:10:46.000 --> 0:10:49.640 on that yes, because I liked Ferguson as a receiver 0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:52.959 because he's been that all all around you just like 0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:56.160 tight end. That tight end or that touchdown was sick. 0:10:56.440 --> 0:10:58.800 I'm not gonna lie to you. I saw somebody on Twitter. 0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:01.240 I believe it was our friend Stephen, who actually went 0:11:01.280 --> 0:11:03.360 to North Texas a couple of years after I did, 0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:05.679 or maybe before I can't remember, but he goes. He 0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:08.880 called it. He called it the Jacin Bake, and I 0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:12.520 was like, Oh, that's good. That was that was he 0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:14.640 did a euro step with a football. Yeah, he's gonna 0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:21.000 say it was like James hardenstyle or something. It's awareness on. 0:11:21.080 --> 0:11:24.840 That was crazy. But I thought he showed me something 0:11:24.920 --> 0:11:27.960 as a receiver in this game that I hadn't seen 0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:32.640 yet from Jake Ferguson specifically. And then I saw Peyton 0:11:32.800 --> 0:11:36.120 Hendershot show me something that we did expect from a 0:11:36.200 --> 0:11:39.880 blocking standpoint. They put him in some tough situations blocking 0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:42.719 and it did not go well on multiple occasions. I 0:11:42.840 --> 0:11:44.520 mean I charted at least three or four. I don't 0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:46.439 have my film notebook in front of me, but I 0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:49.800 had three or four snaps where Hendershot got beat and 0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:54.640 got beat bad as a blocker. Twice. Twice it was 0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:57.760 in Max's protection and he was with Sean McEwan uh, 0:11:57.840 --> 0:11:59.640 and both him and mckewan just kind of got all 0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:02.320 swords and just unraveled and it didn't really look great. 0:12:02.400 --> 0:12:06.839 And you know what for me that we knew that 0:12:07.360 --> 0:12:10.040 that's the case, that's right, We knew that. So it's 0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:13.760 a situation where I would lean more towards criticizing the 0:12:14.120 --> 0:12:16.880 scheme and that portion, because again, you got you know 0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:21.520 that Peyton Hendershot is not great at blocking, and credit 0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:24.520 to the rookie because he willingly admits it. He says 0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:26.240 he's working to get better at it, and we've seen 0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:29.080 at times over the course of this his young career 0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:32.320 six weeks in that he has had some solid blocks, 0:12:32.360 --> 0:12:35.400 but we've also seen him miss on some more than 0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:38.280 than he's been solid on. But I think it's going 0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:40.360 to continue to be a progression. That's not the strength 0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:42.079 of his game. The strength of his game is the 0:12:42.160 --> 0:12:44.880 fact that he's a down the field threat. He's a 0:12:45.080 --> 0:12:48.319 guy who can get separation from you know, linebackers and 0:12:48.400 --> 0:12:51.240 defensive backs for that matter. I can't stress enough how 0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:53.800 much I'd love his quickness out of breaks. It is 0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:55.920 very receiver like. It is not very tight end like. 0:12:56.679 --> 0:12:59.200 But what you saw was, like you said, Kyle, Jake 0:12:59.280 --> 0:13:01.640 Ferguson show, would you an added aspect. We knew that 0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:04.120 Jake Ferguson could make some plays as a receiver, we 0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:08.000 didn't know he had dumb moves, right, So if Jake 0:13:08.040 --> 0:13:10.520 Ferguson is going to start busting out the moves in 0:13:10.600 --> 0:13:14.480 addition to being at least a solid blocker, now you're 0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:18.720 really talking about you know, tighten one question mark twenty 0:13:18.760 --> 0:13:21.640 twenty three. Yeah, right, I mean, that's that's the discussion 0:13:21.640 --> 0:13:25.280 that needs really a question. Though it's always a question 0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:27.599 until it's no longer a course, because I think you 0:13:27.640 --> 0:13:29.760 could always a question until it's not a question. Even 0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:31.839 if yeah, even if Dalton Schultz does not get a 0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:34.760 long term deal here, fine, they could still franchise him 0:13:34.760 --> 0:13:36.920 a second time. Now you know he doesn't want that. 0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:39.120 He didn't want to be franchise the first time. Who does? 0:13:39.360 --> 0:13:40.880 But it is an option for the team. I mean, 0:13:41.000 --> 0:13:44.000 Dad got franchise twice. They ultimately got a deal done, 0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:45.920 but I think I think Tank might have got a 0:13:46.000 --> 0:13:48.599 franchise twice anyway, So it's a it's an option and 0:13:48.640 --> 0:13:51.959 the weapon asked, that's what it was, the shoulders. Yeah, 0:13:51.960 --> 0:13:53.920 and they got the got the deal done. But to 0:13:54.040 --> 0:13:56.839 you guys, point like, it feels like they've brought in 0:13:57.160 --> 0:14:01.360 Dalty slash Jarwin two point zero at these two because 0:14:01.640 --> 0:14:04.160 of what their skill sets are. And I agree with 0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:08.760 no Ce like hinder shots receiver like ability is more 0:14:08.800 --> 0:14:10.679 so than what Jarwin is. And he's a better athlete 0:14:10.679 --> 0:14:15.760 than Jarwin was here, um, but more agile the other things. Yeah. 0:14:15.800 --> 0:14:17.360 The other thing Mike did say about him though, is 0:14:17.360 --> 0:14:19.640 he's playing a little too fast, you know, and he's 0:14:19.640 --> 0:14:23.440 gotten some penalties, that illegal motion penalty. He's just he's anty. 0:14:23.520 --> 0:14:25.440 He's a little anty that yet happy feed on the 0:14:25.520 --> 0:14:27.560 line of scrimmage because he knows what he's capable of. 0:14:28.240 --> 0:14:29.920 He knows the matchups that he has. He can beat 0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:34.200 most safeties, he can beat almost every linebacker. So when 0:14:34.240 --> 0:14:36.120 you know you have that capability and you haven't had 0:14:36.120 --> 0:14:38.400 the opportunity to show that and display that yet, you're 0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:40.000 you're a little hype. You're like, come on, come on, 0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:42.760 especially when you know you're in motion and the play 0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:45.760 is like designed. You're looking at the at the at 0:14:45.800 --> 0:14:47.280 the coverage and you're like oh this, this is coming 0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:50.800 to me, you know, based upon coverage, if the if 0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:53.560 the if, the concept is created for you to get 0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:56.160 the ball. So him coming in motion, I bet you 0:14:56.240 --> 0:14:59.080 he was about to get the balls. Young tight ends 0:14:59.120 --> 0:15:01.320 in this game alone on the young tight ends both 0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:04.840 make plays in space, Jake Ferguson only touchdown for example. 0:15:05.040 --> 0:15:08.720 You saw them high point catches, like really climbed the 0:15:08.840 --> 0:15:12.840 ladder Fergie again. So yeah, and you know when it 0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:15.200 comes to the blocking, probablys or like they rove at 0:15:15.240 --> 0:15:16.760 the moment of Peyton him to show you know what 0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:19.200 you got there. It's a work in progress, but the 0:15:19.320 --> 0:15:20.600 fact that he can do what he can do as 0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:24.720 a receiver compliments Jake Ferguson's ability to both block and 0:15:25.040 --> 0:15:28.280 be a receiver very very well. And you know, yeah, 0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:30.880 and keep an eye out on Sean Mcowen. He's still developmental, 0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:34.520 but he showed some things. So yeah, So two stats 0:15:34.600 --> 0:15:37.520 really jumped off the page to me about Jake Ferguson 0:15:38.240 --> 0:15:41.960 following this one. Ferguson is the first Cowboys rookie tight 0:15:42.080 --> 0:15:45.320 end to catch a touchdown pass since the late Gavin 0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:49.560 Escobar did in twenty third. Yeah, so that one first 0:15:49.600 --> 0:15:52.000 off jumped out because it was Gavin Escobar, but also 0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:54.280 it had been nine years since the Cowboys had had 0:15:54.320 --> 0:15:58.120 a rookie tight end catch a touchdown pass even longer 0:15:58.680 --> 0:16:03.320 because Jake Ferguson's four receptions on Sunday Night, we're the 0:16:03.400 --> 0:16:05.720 most in a single game by a Cowboys rookie tight 0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:09.360 end since one. Jason Witten had five catches in two 0:16:09.440 --> 0:16:15.040 thousand and three as a rookie, So you had in 0:16:15.160 --> 0:16:17.840 two thousand and three and then Gavin Escobar in twenty thirteen. 0:16:18.000 --> 0:16:19.920 Is here Jake Ferguson's among both of those? Is there 0:16:19.920 --> 0:16:24.480 an asterisk euro step in the record books? Now you 0:16:24.520 --> 0:16:29.600 gotta putt with the euro step? With with with the 0:16:29.720 --> 0:16:34.680 question slash best euro step? Do you think Fergie was 0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:37.280 practicing that in the mirror up to this point he 0:16:37.360 --> 0:16:40.080 was just waiting for his opportunity. That was sweets and 0:16:40.200 --> 0:16:42.240 he does it again, it'll be a signature of his 0:16:42.920 --> 0:16:44.840 like that. You know how they have like the Dirk 0:16:44.880 --> 0:16:47.120 shirts where he's like leaning backwards and then the Jordan 0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:49.960 logo and stuff. It'd be the Ferguson like euro step. 0:16:50.360 --> 0:16:53.480 That'd be his signature move love. He needs to go 0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:55.680 ahead and coin that You're welcome, Jake. If you're listening 0:16:55.680 --> 0:16:58.640 to Talking Cowboys, you would make some money, all right. 0:16:58.720 --> 0:17:01.200 When we come back here on Talking Cowboys, we're taking 0:17:01.240 --> 0:17:04.200 your calls to or eight eight eight eight five five 0:17:04.359 --> 0:17:07.600 two two nine seven eight eight eight eight five five 0:17:07.680 --> 0:17:10.800 two two ninety seven.

I hope and wish my quarterback the love 0:21:57.400 --> 0:22:00.840 besides the woman loved my life, love of my life, 0:22:00.920 --> 0:22:05.440 that Frankcott go back healthy and does what he's supposed 0:22:05.440 --> 0:22:08.760 to do and leave this team. And I need three phases, 0:22:09.119 --> 0:22:12.160 the defense, the special teams, in the offense to show 0:22:12.280 --> 0:22:14.880 up every game. I don't want to hang my head 0:22:14.920 --> 0:22:16.479 on a defense. I don't want to hang my head 0:22:16.520 --> 0:22:18.600 on the offense like we did last year. I don't 0:22:18.600 --> 0:22:20.240 want to hang my head on special teams. I want 0:22:20.280 --> 0:22:22.440 all three to show up. And I believe with that 0:22:23.000 --> 0:22:26.359 and that formula, we can do damage. And to watching 0:22:26.400 --> 0:22:29.760 the show yesterday, I heard some things with our Patrick. 0:22:29.840 --> 0:22:32.480 Both of you guys made good points, but I kind 0:22:32.520 --> 0:22:34.480 of tend to side with Patrick on the fact that 0:22:34.720 --> 0:22:37.560 I wasn't too and pressed for Philly. I'm sorry, I 0:22:37.640 --> 0:22:39.800 don't think they throw it off by there. I don't 0:22:39.840 --> 0:22:42.800 think they did, because when you had twenty seventeen, it's 0:22:42.840 --> 0:22:46.080 some throwing off. I mean, you got a backup quarterback 0:22:47.280 --> 0:22:50.840 that did this with three turnovers and we were in 0:22:50.920 --> 0:22:54.159 the game. So let's just go ahead and then Dallas 0:22:54.160 --> 0:22:56.560 and beat the brakes off them next time, all right, guys, 0:22:56.600 --> 0:22:59.199 taught y'all in the New year man. Sounds good, Anthony, 0:22:59.200 --> 0:23:01.240 and get luck with the night shift and that. Yeah, 0:23:01.280 --> 0:23:04.040 you'll have to, I guess watch it on the on demand, 0:23:04.160 --> 0:23:07.160 which we love having your lives. But great call. Brob. 0:23:07.240 --> 0:23:09.880 Did he miss anything on this Christmas wish wish list? 0:23:10.000 --> 0:23:12.200 Because I thought that sounded pretty good to me. He 0:23:12.320 --> 0:23:16.320 nailed it. Stop the penalties, um tackle better, like that's 0:23:16.359 --> 0:23:18.720 been their calling card on this defense, and that's the 0:23:18.840 --> 0:23:21.240 what they talked about all week because we have to tackle. 0:23:21.320 --> 0:23:22.919 We have to tackle, we have to tackle. If they 0:23:22.920 --> 0:23:24.920 didn't dan Quinn, I think he said they missed ten. Yeah, 0:23:24.920 --> 0:23:28.040 he said they missed ten, same as the same number 0:23:28.200 --> 0:23:29.959 as they had against the Giants. And he said they 0:23:29.960 --> 0:23:31.879 were as a defense, they were pissed that that was 0:23:31.960 --> 0:23:35.320 the That's what dan Quinn led with Hill press conference yesterday. 0:23:35.320 --> 0:23:37.919 He said, we're pissed. Um. You don't get and these 0:23:37.960 --> 0:23:39.680 are his quotes. You don't get a paddle on the 0:23:39.760 --> 0:23:44.960 back for uh being halfway successful. Uh. He said he 0:23:45.119 --> 0:23:49.080 wants his unit to be a kick ass crew front 0:23:49.200 --> 0:23:52.240 to back the entirety of the game, not have weak points. 0:23:52.280 --> 0:23:56.160 And he really really started harping on, uh, the well 0:23:56.240 --> 0:23:58.359 Isaiah was talking about on yesterday, as far as the 0:23:58.880 --> 0:24:00.840 being close, getting within two when he's seventeen, and then 0:24:00.880 --> 0:24:03.520 allowing that touchdown drive to kind of put the game 0:24:03.560 --> 0:24:05.600 away for Philly. He really harped on that, and you 0:24:05.680 --> 0:24:07.720 could kind of see, even though you know DQ has 0:24:07.760 --> 0:24:11.760 a mostly calm demeanor, you could see the flames in him, 0:24:11.760 --> 0:24:13.560 a little little bit of fire he was. And he 0:24:13.640 --> 0:24:16.240 said yesterday he said, you know, guys, I know ninety 0:24:16.280 --> 0:24:18.880 nine point nine percent of the time I'm half glass full, 0:24:18.920 --> 0:24:20.360 and I'm an optimist. He was like, but I get 0:24:20.400 --> 0:24:23.359 pissed off too, and that end quote, He's like, and 0:24:23.400 --> 0:24:25.400 I get pissed off too. So, ladies and gentlemen, DQ 0:24:25.720 --> 0:24:29.040 is Uh, he's pissed. So you might see that against 0:24:29.240 --> 0:24:33.160 the Detroit Lions this Sunday. What do you think I said, 0:24:33.680 --> 0:24:36.480 I think that my man's is used to getting a 0:24:36.520 --> 0:24:39.800 lot of Christmas gifts because I only got one. What's that? 0:24:39.880 --> 0:24:43.960 Growing up? I mean, my wish for the Dallas Cowboys 0:24:44.200 --> 0:24:48.240 is to score points. That's my wish for the Dallas Cowboys. 0:24:48.240 --> 0:24:50.560 Score points. You know, And I know a lot of 0:24:50.600 --> 0:24:52.960 people are like, I don't. People don't have to agree 0:24:52.960 --> 0:24:55.280 with me. That's why we all have our own, you know, opinions. 0:24:55.359 --> 0:25:01.560 But Dallas, m how can I say this? Okay? All right? 0:25:01.920 --> 0:25:08.320 By saying it, they're struggling offensively still, yeah, I mean, 0:25:08.440 --> 0:25:10.800 and it's and it's not okay. And I know everybody's 0:25:10.840 --> 0:25:13.520 excited because Dak's coming back, but the reality is, you know, 0:25:14.000 --> 0:25:17.680 what we have seen from from Dak this year isn't 0:25:17.760 --> 0:25:20.680 much more than what we've seen from Cooper Rush this year. 0:25:21.320 --> 0:25:23.200 So I mean, I know it's only one game dose 0:25:23.280 --> 0:25:24.760 that we had of him, but we scored how many 0:25:24.800 --> 0:25:29.159 points in that game? Three? Three? So I get it. 0:25:29.280 --> 0:25:31.560 Everybody's getting the quarterback back, and they're excited and they're 0:25:31.600 --> 0:25:33.520 hyping the're talking about the possibilities and things that he's 0:25:33.560 --> 0:25:35.480 done in the past, but from what we've seen this year, 0:25:36.280 --> 0:25:37.880 we still can be base it off of what we've 0:25:37.920 --> 0:25:40.320 seen this year. So are you saying, tap the brakes 0:25:40.359 --> 0:25:45.640 on the dak is back bandwagon and let's be excited 0:25:45.680 --> 0:25:48.320 off be excited that your QB one is back. I mean, 0:25:48.359 --> 0:25:50.280 who wouldn't be that. Who wouldn't be excited that your 0:25:50.359 --> 0:25:52.520 that your starter is back and your game guy. I mean, 0:25:52.520 --> 0:25:54.600 he's your most valuable asset that you have in this 0:25:54.760 --> 0:25:57.639 organization at the player position. There's no doubt about that. 0:25:58.000 --> 0:26:00.440 But let's not act like we were lighting up the 0:26:00.480 --> 0:26:03.840 scoreboard when he was present. He had a full, healthy 0:26:03.880 --> 0:26:08.359 off season, Yeah, full camp full OTA's came in and scored, 0:26:08.400 --> 0:26:11.479 we scored three. Yeah, and down the stretch last year, 0:26:11.480 --> 0:26:13.880 the offense wasn't nearly as good as they were before 0:26:13.920 --> 0:26:15.680 the bye week last year, although he did finish with 0:26:15.720 --> 0:26:18.040 thirty five touchdown passes. I'm just I'm just a realist, 0:26:18.080 --> 0:26:20.040 you know. I don't I don't lean on either side 0:26:20.040 --> 0:26:22.960 of the fence. I'm just saying what we've seen isn't 0:26:23.040 --> 0:26:25.119 what it's been. Yeah. So I think a lot of 0:26:25.119 --> 0:26:28.119 people are with the expectation that is going to be 0:26:28.280 --> 0:26:31.320 back to you know, you know early last season throwing 0:26:31.400 --> 0:26:33.440 lighting up the scoreboard and you know, all these jars, 0:26:33.480 --> 0:26:34.760 and it's like, I don't think that it's going to 0:26:34.800 --> 0:26:37.040 be that much of a light switch immediately, at least 0:26:37.160 --> 0:26:40.560 I'm I hear you and making you make great points. 0:26:40.640 --> 0:26:46.200 I'm excited about him coming back into the formula that 0:26:46.240 --> 0:26:48.920 they've created Offensively. I think they're doing a better job 0:26:49.080 --> 0:26:52.800 scheming things up to whoever's the quarterback to have success. 0:26:53.119 --> 0:26:55.880 And I hear I've heard this in the last couple 0:26:55.920 --> 0:26:57.800 of weeks with Cooper Russian here, It's like, well, but 0:26:58.000 --> 0:27:02.200 Dak's making this much money, why should they run kind 0:27:02.240 --> 0:27:04.399 of this run first offense and play your defense if 0:27:04.400 --> 0:27:05.800 you're you know, he's supposed to be the guy and 0:27:05.800 --> 0:27:08.360 all that. Hey Man, Troy Aikman had a running game, 0:27:08.440 --> 0:27:10.399 Troikeman had a hell of a defense. Troichman had a 0:27:10.440 --> 0:27:13.040 hell of an offensive line. Like, how's it working out 0:27:13.080 --> 0:27:15.480 for Aaron Rodgers right now without kind of the same 0:27:15.560 --> 0:27:18.960 pieces he's used to playing with in the past. It's 0:27:19.000 --> 0:27:21.600 okay to have a good system around a quarterback. I'm 0:27:21.600 --> 0:27:24.159 excited about what they've I think they found that can 0:27:24.200 --> 0:27:26.000 work with that coming in as a better player to 0:27:26.119 --> 0:27:28.320 run that offense. Yeah. You know what scares me a 0:27:28.359 --> 0:27:30.400 little bit about this game coming up and we'll dive 0:27:30.440 --> 0:27:34.119 into this on Wednesday and Thursday. It's I got this 0:27:34.280 --> 0:27:38.080 gut feeling. It's bubble guts. It's barbecue in the Miller light. 0:27:38.560 --> 0:27:43.040 It's the you look at the coffee of Miller light. 0:27:43.080 --> 0:27:45.040 I guess I should say barbecue of Miller light actually 0:27:45.040 --> 0:27:48.440 sounds great. It feels like last week are last year. 0:27:48.760 --> 0:27:51.520 It feels like you come off of that Minnesota game. Now, 0:27:51.600 --> 0:27:54.000 you won the Minnesota game with Cooper Rush. You came 0:27:54.040 --> 0:27:55.720 off of a big win. It was a huge game 0:27:55.800 --> 0:27:58.840 in prime time. This one you didn't win. But then 0:27:58.920 --> 0:28:02.760 what happened the week after that, Denver Broncos came into town. 0:28:02.800 --> 0:28:04.840 You had back to back home games against teams that 0:28:04.880 --> 0:28:08.440 were winnable games Denver and Atlanta. You felt like, oh, okay, 0:28:08.480 --> 0:28:11.000 we're fine, We're getting Dak back. We're gonna win this game. 0:28:11.040 --> 0:28:13.040 We're gonna win it by a hundred. It's not gonna happen. 0:28:13.520 --> 0:28:15.840 That's what this reminds me of. I'm not going to 0:28:15.920 --> 0:28:18.720 lie to you. It's a big time Prime primetime game 0:28:18.800 --> 0:28:20.720 on the road. Then you have back to back games 0:28:20.760 --> 0:28:23.280 at home against winnable opponents. You get Dak Prescott back 0:28:23.320 --> 0:28:25.240 for the first one, and you're gonna beat the Lions 0:28:25.280 --> 0:28:28.840 by a hundred. Don't count out this game as a 0:28:29.080 --> 0:28:31.880 close game. Well first, don't do it, first and foremost, 0:28:31.920 --> 0:28:34.119 And I've said this at several points when we were 0:28:34.119 --> 0:28:36.479 doing our Friday predictions when it comes to the Lions. 0:28:36.720 --> 0:28:38.880 And I'm a huge fan of Dan Campbell, and if 0:28:38.920 --> 0:28:40.280 you're a Cowboys fan, you should be a fan of 0:28:40.360 --> 0:28:45.240 Dan Campbell as well. But he has the Lions as scrappy, 0:28:45.360 --> 0:28:48.480 like you saw what happened last week. Okay, fine, you 0:28:48.480 --> 0:28:50.200 saw what happened, you know, before they went into the 0:28:50.240 --> 0:28:53.040 bye week. Not pretty. But this is a Lions team 0:28:53.160 --> 0:28:56.160 that can push you to the limit, and they will 0:28:56.280 --> 0:28:58.960 scratch and they will claw, and they will they will 0:28:59.080 --> 0:29:02.560 bite at your knee caps and try to get the 0:29:02.680 --> 0:29:05.640 win if at all possible. So, and I kind of 0:29:06.040 --> 0:29:09.800 adopting and I accentuating I should say, as Isaiah's point is, 0:29:09.840 --> 0:29:13.120 you have to respect these opponents and the Lions. It 0:29:13.400 --> 0:29:15.600 could be viewed as a trap game, but again I 0:29:15.640 --> 0:29:17.280 don't view that there's a such thing when you have 0:29:17.360 --> 0:29:20.360 a Michael Parsons on your on your defense, and especially 0:29:20.480 --> 0:29:24.480 Michael Parson's coming off of a loss. Is a fully 0:29:24.560 --> 0:29:27.880 healthy Michael Parsons, That's my biggest question. Fair. That's fair. 0:29:27.960 --> 0:29:30.840 But the good thing about the Cowboys defense and a 0:29:31.040 --> 0:29:34.560 piste off dan Quinn is that there they operate as 0:29:34.600 --> 0:29:37.960 a whole unit. Right, So it's not overtly dependent upon 0:29:38.080 --> 0:29:41.720 Michael Parsons having to be that dude on any given week. 0:29:41.800 --> 0:29:43.760 If he is, then it's that much more dominant. If 0:29:43.800 --> 0:29:47.160 he's not, somebody else would likely step up in his 0:29:47.280 --> 0:29:49.040 place and help, and you know he's still going to 0:29:49.120 --> 0:29:51.400 cause disruptions. So for the so on, the question just 0:29:51.480 --> 0:29:54.520 goes back to the can the offense hit the ground 0:29:54.600 --> 0:29:57.080 running or at least continue to do what they've been doing. 0:29:57.280 --> 0:29:59.720 Don't get away from leaning on the run, leaning on 0:29:59.720 --> 0:30:02.960 the ru with Ezekiel Elliott, Tony Pollard. Let your offensive 0:30:03.000 --> 0:30:04.880 line kind of try to set the tone so that 0:30:04.960 --> 0:30:07.640 you can set up a play action and the lion's 0:30:07.720 --> 0:30:10.680 pass rush is not teen off or trying to tee 0:30:10.720 --> 0:30:12.920 off against your quarterback who just got back into the game. 0:30:13.000 --> 0:30:15.960 So is this a winnable game. It absolutely sure are 0:30:16.040 --> 0:30:18.600 the Cowboys going to route them by a hundred stop 0:30:18.760 --> 0:30:21.320 that that's nonsense. This is the NFL. Those guys get 0:30:21.360 --> 0:30:23.680 paid too. But it's something. It's a game that the 0:30:23.760 --> 0:30:29.120 Cowboys should win handily if they're operating on all cylinders 0:30:29.160 --> 0:30:31.400 and play mistake free football. And we'll dive into the 0:30:31.480 --> 0:30:34.960 details of that tomorrow and then Thursday and Friday, even 0:30:35.040 --> 0:30:37.280 for say, with your chest Friday as well. But let's 0:30:37.320 --> 0:30:39.960 go out to Bob in Nashville. Bob, you're back on 0:30:40.160 --> 0:30:45.160 talking Cowboys. How's it going any, great fellows, great conversation. 0:30:46.160 --> 0:30:48.040 I hit the nail on the head with me to 0:30:48.160 --> 0:30:50.120 One of the things I was calling about was listen 0:30:50.160 --> 0:30:53.880 to the Philadelphia game. Okay, it's over with. It's one game. 0:30:54.240 --> 0:30:56.240 Let's move on. We need to get these next two 0:30:56.280 --> 0:30:59.080 games going into the bye. Yep. So we're six and two. 0:31:00.040 --> 0:31:02.440 We need to focus on those two games and getting 0:31:02.480 --> 0:31:06.680 better offensively. I think that's the key, not looking back 0:31:06.760 --> 0:31:10.000 and lamenting about Philadelphia, but just going back to some 0:31:10.080 --> 0:31:11.960 of the point you made earlier. I really want to 0:31:12.080 --> 0:31:16.520 keep Honor McGovern in at the left guard, and I 0:31:16.640 --> 0:31:19.480 want to keep using these young tight Ends. I think 0:31:19.520 --> 0:31:21.600 you got something with those people. I think we need 0:31:21.680 --> 0:31:25.320 to not put in you know, maybe Jason Peters, maybe 0:31:25.360 --> 0:31:27.520 I just have him as a backup right now. Just 0:31:27.920 --> 0:31:31.360 let this guy grow immature and develop with this line. 0:31:31.760 --> 0:31:33.920 And also same thing with the tight Ends. I think 0:31:33.920 --> 0:31:37.680 they are good enough to replace Schultz, and let's wait 0:31:37.800 --> 0:31:41.840 till he's healthy completely and then spot him in. But 0:31:42.360 --> 0:31:44.840 I like the youth movement and I want to continue 0:31:44.840 --> 0:31:47.040 with that downroad. I just want to hear your thoughts 0:31:47.040 --> 0:31:50.360 on that. Thanks, guys, appreciate you. Bob, And he brings 0:31:50.440 --> 0:31:53.040 up the concerns of multiple people. I know Nate Newton 0:31:53.080 --> 0:31:55.840 across the way is saying put one of them in 0:31:55.960 --> 0:31:58.360 piket and go, which right now, if that was the case, 0:31:58.440 --> 0:32:00.960 it would be Tona mcgoverns over, wouldn't be Jason Peters. 0:32:01.080 --> 0:32:03.320 Jason Peters with just the four snaps. I even asked 0:32:03.400 --> 0:32:05.560 McCarthy about that yesterday in the press conference and he 0:32:05.640 --> 0:32:08.760 was like, well, Peters didn't play enough to really really 0:32:09.320 --> 0:32:15.360 warrant a thought process or an evaluation. But I know, Isaiah, 0:32:15.400 --> 0:32:17.800 you've been big on the Peters bandwagon. Has that shifted 0:32:17.840 --> 0:32:19.760 it all over the last couple of weeks it has. 0:32:19.880 --> 0:32:22.600 He hasn't been asked when he has been in the game. 0:32:22.640 --> 0:32:24.960 I haven't seen enough out of him. I think that 0:32:25.040 --> 0:32:26.600 first game he came in and him made some really 0:32:26.600 --> 0:32:29.280 good blocks of Fredding wise, but overall, I don't know. 0:32:30.520 --> 0:32:32.640 I think he needs to being more consistently in order 0:32:32.680 --> 0:32:36.080 to even get comfortable with this unit. And it's kind 0:32:36.080 --> 0:32:38.320 of a government playing poor enough to where you can 0:32:39.000 --> 0:32:42.000 constitute a replacement. I really don't think he has not. 0:32:42.200 --> 0:32:45.400 And to Nate's point, you know, when you're rotating offensive 0:32:45.480 --> 0:32:49.120 lightning in, it's the one position in football that you know, 0:32:49.320 --> 0:32:53.800 aside from the specialists, that don't have substitutes, So it's 0:32:53.880 --> 0:32:55.880 kind of odd. It's kind of odd that you're rotating 0:32:55.880 --> 0:32:57.200 these guys in and you expect them to all be 0:32:57.280 --> 0:33:01.680 productive and effective when they need to work in solidarity together. 0:33:02.400 --> 0:33:04.960 So it's just a bad it's a bad situation. So 0:33:05.000 --> 0:33:07.160 I agree, either you go with McGovern, I like him both. 0:33:07.320 --> 0:33:09.920 I like Peters better, but I haven't seen enough of 0:33:10.040 --> 0:33:13.040 him consistently, and he hasn't seen enough of himself consistently. 0:33:13.080 --> 0:33:15.240 You can't. You can't go in there four plays and 0:33:16.120 --> 0:33:18.560 impact as a lineman. Many suck It was a good 0:33:18.600 --> 0:33:21.000 question by Babe Laffenberg because he said he followed up 0:33:21.040 --> 0:33:23.560 on your question and he said, I imagine the plan 0:33:23.720 --> 0:33:26.360 wasn't to just give him only four plays, and he said, well, 0:33:26.640 --> 0:33:28.840 third series was the plan, and then we revisit in 0:33:28.880 --> 0:33:30.720 the second half, but they didn't go back to him. 0:33:30.880 --> 0:33:34.560 So I'm not sure, but I'm kind of with Nate 0:33:34.640 --> 0:33:37.320 like it's just unusual to have a rotation on the 0:33:37.400 --> 0:33:39.880 offensive line. That's just not common. So I think it. 0:33:40.800 --> 0:33:43.320 I wonder if by now they were expecting Jason Peters 0:33:43.400 --> 0:33:45.440 to probably be the starter and it just hasn't worked 0:33:45.480 --> 0:33:47.600 out that way yet. You know, maybe the injury set 0:33:47.720 --> 0:33:49.800 him back a little bit. We'll see. I think that 0:33:49.920 --> 0:33:53.360 was the case. I think exactly right, Rob. I think 0:33:53.520 --> 0:33:56.840 the Cowboys felt that the timing of signing Jason Peters 0:33:56.920 --> 0:33:58.880 and you know, the timing they needed to ramp him 0:33:58.960 --> 0:34:01.280 up because they were basically saying, well, September was training 0:34:01.360 --> 0:34:04.840 camp for Jason Peters. Okay, well now we're going into 0:34:04.920 --> 0:34:08.000 late October. The chest injury obviously set him back, and 0:34:08.080 --> 0:34:10.399 then you have to wonder, you know, when he got 0:34:10.480 --> 0:34:13.640 in against the Eagles, maybe they saw that he was 0:34:13.680 --> 0:34:17.360 still kind of struggling, you know, holding his blocks, probably 0:34:17.719 --> 0:34:20.120 you know, because of the residuals coming from that chest injury. 0:34:21.239 --> 0:34:24.040 But nonetheless, here we are two weeks away from the bye. 0:34:24.160 --> 0:34:27.440 Connor McGovern has played well enough to remain the starter. 0:34:27.840 --> 0:34:30.560 So my thought process is, you already know what you 0:34:30.640 --> 0:34:33.720 haven't Tyler Smith. You just continue to you know, develop 0:34:33.760 --> 0:34:37.640 peters in the system. So that should McGovern take a 0:34:37.680 --> 0:34:40.200 step back at the wrong time, start taking a step back, 0:34:40.239 --> 0:34:42.160 then you say, okay, we're going to do a full swap. 0:34:42.600 --> 0:34:45.080 But I'm with Big Nate stopped the rotation. I think 0:34:45.120 --> 0:34:46.520 we're at the point of the season where it needs 0:34:46.560 --> 0:34:49.880 to be solid, especially with your injury healed QB one 0:34:49.960 --> 0:34:51.960 coming back from injury. It needs to be and a 0:34:52.040 --> 0:34:54.200 solid five in front of him, and with a left 0:34:54.239 --> 0:34:57.080 tackle that's a rookie two. I mean, he's been playing well. 0:34:57.400 --> 0:34:59.520 I really like what Tyler Smith has done. Sure, he's 0:34:59.520 --> 0:35:02.359 given up acts, he's given up pressures. Everybody does whenever 0:35:02.400 --> 0:35:05.640 they're a rookie playing at left tackle. But he's really 0:35:05.719 --> 0:35:09.439 done well. From a standpoint of growing, He'll grow even 0:35:09.560 --> 0:35:12.440 more and even quicker whenever he's got a steady guy 0:35:12.640 --> 0:35:14.439 to the right side of him as well, and Condo 0:35:14.520 --> 0:35:16.879 McGovern's played better than Jason Peters at this point. It's 0:35:16.920 --> 0:35:20.200 been a super small sample size, but Connor McGovern's played better, 0:35:20.440 --> 0:35:22.279 so let's keep that in mind. All right, let's take 0:35:22.320 --> 0:35:25.120 our second break. We're gonna still take some calls eight eight, eight, five, 0:35:25.200 --> 0:35:27.880 five two two nine seven. We'll maybe have time for 0:35:27.960 --> 0:35:29.360 one or two more and when we come back with 0:35:29.480 --> 0:35:33.879 more talking cowboys presented by Black Rifle Coffee Company.

We're 0:38:24.680 --> 0:38:27.000 going all around the country this morning. Irvin, how's it 0:38:27.040 --> 0:38:30.359 going you're on Talking Cowboys. I'm doing good, guys, Thanks 0:38:30.400 --> 0:38:33.919 for having my call. Uh was listening to you guys 0:38:34.200 --> 0:38:37.040 a little bit yesterday actually for the whole show. And 0:38:37.600 --> 0:38:40.680 one hundred percent agreed with Patrick yesterday. There was a 0:38:40.760 --> 0:38:44.640 point in that game when we've got to twenty to seventeen. 0:38:45.480 --> 0:38:49.520 I think Philadelphia realized after Lane Johnson had gotten hurt 0:38:49.560 --> 0:38:53.000 and they lost their starting guard too, that they were 0:38:53.120 --> 0:38:55.799 kind of placed on the ropes, you know, by our 0:38:55.880 --> 0:38:58.640 defense at that point. I really think we were taking 0:38:58.640 --> 0:39:03.560 control of that game. They realized get back their run games, 0:39:03.719 --> 0:39:05.520 which they did, and I was kind of hoping that 0:39:05.600 --> 0:39:09.040 our defense would that kind of stop that run, that 0:39:09.160 --> 0:39:13.560 whole drive really kind of like stop the game. Well, 0:39:13.640 --> 0:39:16.040 that's all I really got to say. What you got 0:39:16.120 --> 0:39:18.720 to think about that? Thanks? Thanks so much, Irvan, appreciate 0:39:18.800 --> 0:39:21.759 your call from Denver, and I mean two to nothing. 0:39:21.840 --> 0:39:24.040 I guess if we're keeping listening to, wisdom is strong 0:39:24.160 --> 0:39:30.040 within these callers. Irvin. I appreciate you. Um, I respect 0:39:30.080 --> 0:39:34.120 you as a Dallas Cowboys fan, avid talking Cowboys listener, 0:39:34.320 --> 0:39:40.840 you know, loyal. However, typically when you make a statement 0:39:41.040 --> 0:39:45.440 saying that a team was in control, if you're in 0:39:45.560 --> 0:39:50.399 control in your seeming league, you know, stopping teams moving 0:39:50.440 --> 0:39:52.200 the ball, whatever it might be, you just had that 0:39:52.400 --> 0:39:54.640 confidence that you're gonna win the game because you're in 0:39:54.719 --> 0:39:58.000 control you feel like it, then you don't get the 0:39:58.040 --> 0:39:59.680 ball ran on your eleva strate times all the way 0:39:59.719 --> 0:40:02.480 down field and then get a touchdown. You're not in 0:40:02.560 --> 0:40:04.800 control if you can't stop a team from running the 0:40:04.840 --> 0:40:11.040 ball eleven straight times. That's me controlling you. If I 0:40:11.120 --> 0:40:13.839 want to control you. If I'm playing Madden, I'm gonna 0:40:13.880 --> 0:40:17.600 hand the ball off because you can't stop it, right, 0:40:17.920 --> 0:40:21.080 you can't freaking stop it. If I'm playing the wing t. 0:40:21.280 --> 0:40:23.160 Why was the wing t so good back in the day. 0:40:23.360 --> 0:40:26.080 Can't stop it, can't freaking stop it. Why am I 0:40:26.160 --> 0:40:28.680 gonna put it in the air and give you an 0:40:28.680 --> 0:40:32.879 opportunity when it's a higher precision, as a higher chance 0:40:32.920 --> 0:40:34.279 that I'm gonna turn the ball over putting it in 0:40:34.400 --> 0:40:36.200 the air, I can keep it on the ground and 0:40:36.280 --> 0:40:38.880 just move the chains if you can't stop me from 0:40:38.960 --> 0:40:42.320 moving the chains on the ground. You were never in control. So, 0:40:42.520 --> 0:40:46.000 regardless of what the score was, regardless of what your 0:40:46.040 --> 0:40:49.359 sweet little emotions feel like everybody out here, you were 0:40:49.400 --> 0:40:52.120 never in control of that game. Yes, you closed the gap, 0:40:52.160 --> 0:40:55.319 but what did the Philly do? Philly said, all right, well, 0:40:55.640 --> 0:40:56.920 let's go back to doing what we know what we 0:40:56.960 --> 0:40:58.839 were doing. Well, I don't know why we were trying 0:40:58.840 --> 0:41:00.640 to throw the ball ahead of a while ago. But 0:41:01.000 --> 0:41:02.560 let's go back and hand this thing off again and 0:41:02.840 --> 0:41:07.040 again again again, just like Novoca again. I'm always work. 0:41:07.160 --> 0:41:09.239 So I hear you and I and I want to 0:41:09.280 --> 0:41:12.319 be on board, but I can't be on board. I'm sorry, y'all. 0:41:12.360 --> 0:41:14.839 I'm my metat the truth. Regardless of how how how 0:41:14.960 --> 0:41:18.000 bad that medicine taste, Dallas was not in control. It 0:41:18.080 --> 0:41:21.880 just felt good because the score looked goodbutt coming, all right, 0:41:21.960 --> 0:41:29.080 So I'm all for rubbing the testing on it. Right. Um, 0:41:29.800 --> 0:41:33.640 I disagree again and that they were never in control 0:41:33.680 --> 0:41:36.239 because control is a moment to moment thing. So what 0:41:36.400 --> 0:41:40.640 you're saying is that they regained control by running the 0:41:40.719 --> 0:41:44.760 ball eleven straight times, but they didn't actually lose control 0:41:45.160 --> 0:41:48.000 by allowing the Cowboys to score seventeen straight points and 0:41:48.120 --> 0:41:50.759 make it a three point a fair. So nodes not 0:41:50.840 --> 0:41:56.279 tomato tomatoes, tomato pumpkin shout out to think about it 0:41:56.360 --> 0:41:59.719 this way. If we if we if we're if we're 0:41:59.760 --> 0:42:03.080 in a vehicle and I don't have control of the 0:42:03.160 --> 0:42:05.920 vehicle in that moment, right, you're taking us all over 0:42:05.960 --> 0:42:07.560 the place. You're all over the lanes and I'm sitting 0:42:07.600 --> 0:42:10.560 I'm just along for the ride. That's in that moment. Yes, 0:42:11.160 --> 0:42:13.360 Now what if in the next moment, I grabbed the wheel, 0:42:13.400 --> 0:42:15.000 put us back in the lane, and now we're going 0:42:15.120 --> 0:42:17.120 where I want us to go. In that moment, I'm 0:42:17.160 --> 0:42:20.279 in control. But then I don't equate that equate that 0:42:20.320 --> 0:42:23.560 analogy to what happened then with the eleven straight runs 0:42:23.600 --> 0:42:25.919 that you grabbing the wheel again and say no, I'm 0:42:25.920 --> 0:42:29.320 taking control. Say so. My whole point is there was 0:42:29.400 --> 0:42:32.680 a point in that game, Yes, that the Cowboys were 0:42:32.719 --> 0:42:36.800 in control and threatened to come back and win, and 0:42:36.920 --> 0:42:40.200 the Eagles, to their credit, they regained control, But that 0:42:40.560 --> 0:42:43.759 them regaining control doesn't delete the fact that the Cowboys 0:42:43.840 --> 0:42:46.319 actually took it from them at some point, which made 0:42:46.360 --> 0:42:50.840 that a winnable game before. That's all I'm saying. I 0:42:50.880 --> 0:42:53.920 see your point, and I raise you if I want to. 0:42:54.400 --> 0:42:57.520 It's cool outside. Why am I the pump kissing? I 0:42:58.640 --> 0:43:00.759 keep my thermostat, you know, I keep the thermosat said 0:43:00.800 --> 0:43:03.319 at about seventy two in the crib. Okay, he said 0:43:03.360 --> 0:43:09.840 about seventy two. Yes, no, that's good for me. Seventy Now, 0:43:09.960 --> 0:43:11.920 I don't want to use my AC, right, So I 0:43:12.000 --> 0:43:13.960 popped the windows open like dbo right, I cracked the 0:43:14.000 --> 0:43:15.759 windows open. I'm saying, you know what, I need the 0:43:15.800 --> 0:43:18.480 outside to regulate the temperature on the inside. I'm gonna 0:43:18.480 --> 0:43:20.800 try something different. Okay, I'm gonna try something different. I 0:43:20.920 --> 0:43:22.839 know the AC works, but I don't want to run 0:43:22.920 --> 0:43:24.440 that thing right, So I'm gonna go ahead, prop this 0:43:24.520 --> 0:43:27.920 window open. Hopefully, hopefully my temperature regulates on the inside. 0:43:28.400 --> 0:43:32.040 Guess guess what exactly what? So two o'clock this morning, 0:43:32.120 --> 0:43:34.360 my allergy started acting up right, and it wasn't It 0:43:34.440 --> 0:43:35.880 wasn't a temperature that I need to set on the 0:43:35.960 --> 0:43:37.920 thermosat So what I do? I went back to I 0:43:38.040 --> 0:43:40.239 know what works. I closed the dog on window and 0:43:40.280 --> 0:43:42.680 I turned the AC back on, and guess what it regulated. 0:43:43.280 --> 0:43:48.040 That's Philadelphia Legos. Try some different, they said, I lost, 0:43:48.120 --> 0:43:50.040 this ain't working. That ain't working. So I'm gonna go 0:43:50.120 --> 0:43:53.200 back to what I know works because they can't stop it. 0:43:53.360 --> 0:43:56.080 I'm just saying that the never that you said. That's 0:43:56.280 --> 0:43:59.840 see okay, get here. I am sitting right in the 0:44:00.000 --> 0:44:03.080 addle of this argument again because I agree with things 0:44:03.120 --> 0:44:05.000 that Patrick's saying. Because they had a chance to win 0:44:05.040 --> 0:44:07.680 that football game. That was a winnable football Philadelphia kept 0:44:07.680 --> 0:44:09.719 doing with you. But I also agree with Isaiah and 0:44:09.719 --> 0:44:12.200 the fact that I don't think Dallas ever had control 0:44:12.640 --> 0:44:14.760 at that same moment in the ball game that Patrick's 0:44:14.800 --> 0:44:17.680 talking about. They had a chance to take control and 0:44:17.800 --> 0:44:20.640 they didn't. They had a chance to stop Philadelphia there 0:44:20.840 --> 0:44:23.280 and they didn't. That's where I sit in this argument, 0:44:23.360 --> 0:44:25.320 because I think it was a winnable game if you 0:44:25.400 --> 0:44:28.000 would have retaken control. But Philly was in control of 0:44:28.080 --> 0:44:29.759 that game all the way through. It's hard for me 0:44:29.960 --> 0:44:31.839 to say a team is in control when you're down 0:44:32.360 --> 0:44:35.200 at any point in the ball game. Really, you have 0:44:35.400 --> 0:44:37.480 to take the lead or have a chance to go 0:44:37.600 --> 0:44:39.600 take the lead. For me to say that, I don't 0:44:39.600 --> 0:44:41.279 agree with don't. I don't fully agree with that because 0:44:41.280 --> 0:44:42.960 I go back to the Super Bowl against Atlanta, Right, 0:44:43.120 --> 0:44:45.080 we're gonna same page on that one. But Rob Pie, 0:44:45.120 --> 0:44:49.640 if you're extreme, but then, but who did you feel 0:44:49.640 --> 0:44:52.120 like it was in control the game when you got 0:44:52.200 --> 0:44:55.399 to overtime, But it was a time when they were down, 0:44:55.520 --> 0:44:57.120 you still felt like New England was in control of 0:44:57.200 --> 0:44:59.080 that game even with them down. You just know I 0:44:59.280 --> 0:45:01.359 felt it I don't know what you felt beside from 0:45:01.360 --> 0:45:03.560 the bubble guy. Everybody knows. But there's a shift of 0:45:03.640 --> 0:45:07.720 control that's coming. You can feel like a shift of control, 0:45:07.800 --> 0:45:11.280 that would be, but that's not the same of actually 0:45:11.440 --> 0:45:14.600 being in control. Okay, So feelings, you got to control 0:45:14.680 --> 0:45:17.880 your own destiny in that moment for you to be 0:45:17.960 --> 0:45:19.840 in control. If you're down by three, but you can 0:45:19.960 --> 0:45:22.160 drive and take the lead, I would I would call 0:45:22.280 --> 0:45:25.279 that aid in control. If you're down by more than 0:45:25.360 --> 0:45:27.440 a touchdown, or if you're down by a certain amount 0:45:27.440 --> 0:45:29.600 of points that keep you out of that, then I 0:45:29.640 --> 0:45:32.080 don't know. We gotta go walk because a tintel too, Rapie. 0:45:32.120 --> 0:45:33.919 I want you to be off as a coordinator. Okay, 0:45:34.080 --> 0:45:37.200 your team's up. Okay, you've had success running the ball, 0:45:37.320 --> 0:45:39.440 You've had sess throwing the ball. Right, you're in four 0:45:39.480 --> 0:45:41.560 minute offense. What are you doing four minute office, Rappie? 0:45:41.560 --> 0:45:43.000 If you want to control the rest of the game, 0:45:43.320 --> 0:45:45.520 I'm doing what I do best. And for the Eagles, 0:45:45.600 --> 0:45:47.719 it's the RPO stuff and running the ball and trying 0:45:47.760 --> 0:45:49.320 to control the clock, Thank you very much. That's what 0:45:49.400 --> 0:45:52.360 they did and they they were the better team, and 0:45:52.480 --> 0:45:54.640 some of that was self inflicted by Dallas. They were 0:45:54.680 --> 0:45:56.840 the better team in that particular game. I think the 0:45:56.920 --> 0:45:59.440 Cowboys defensively can play so much better than they did. 0:46:00.040 --> 0:46:01.640 Some of that is what Philly does. That is a 0:46:01.719 --> 0:46:04.239 pain in the ass for anybody to play against. And 0:46:04.400 --> 0:46:06.279 that's why I think I agree with both of you guys, 0:46:06.360 --> 0:46:08.600 because I think Philly's legit. I think they're going to 0:46:08.640 --> 0:46:10.320 be a challenge for everybody they play. The question that 0:46:10.360 --> 0:46:12.080 they're going to run into though at some point, and 0:46:12.120 --> 0:46:15.480 maybe it's Dallas on Christmas Eve, when teams can keep 0:46:15.560 --> 0:46:18.480 up with them scoring wise, to take the RPO out 0:46:18.520 --> 0:46:20.920 of it a little bit, that they haven't run into 0:46:20.960 --> 0:46:22.799 that yet, that's going to be the key. And if 0:46:22.840 --> 0:46:25.719 they don't stay healthy offensively. To close an argument, the 0:46:25.840 --> 0:46:28.680 one thing I disagree with what you're saying is no, 0:46:28.960 --> 0:46:31.680 So why are you closing argument to me? Because because 0:46:34.480 --> 0:46:38.040 point I'll simply quote cold play and then I'll toss 0:46:38.080 --> 0:46:40.680 it over to you. Just because you're losing doesn't mean 0:46:40.760 --> 0:46:43.680 that you've lost. So if you're in that being said, 0:46:44.120 --> 0:46:46.480 that's not what I'm saying. No, you're saying that you can't. 0:46:46.560 --> 0:46:49.200 You don't envision that a team can be in control 0:46:49.600 --> 0:46:52.880 unless they control their own destiny. That's what it's literally 0:46:53.040 --> 0:46:56.120 in the same control your own destiny, which if you're 0:46:56.320 --> 0:46:59.240 down by a score or more, then you don't control 0:46:59.280 --> 0:47:01.959 your own destiny. You can get back into it's sure, 0:47:02.239 --> 0:47:04.960 but you're not in football by taking control. You know, 0:47:05.080 --> 0:47:06.719 that's the only way you get back into it. But 0:47:06.840 --> 0:47:08.719 you're not in control. You would have to take it 0:47:08.960 --> 0:47:11.800 and in the present and think you're in control. And 0:47:11.960 --> 0:47:14.839 it was taken science in the moment, which is how 0:47:14.920 --> 0:47:19.440 they got seventeen consecutive. They didn't have the ball. They 0:47:19.440 --> 0:47:22.200 didn't have the ball in that point they gave the ball. 0:47:22.560 --> 0:47:25.160 The ball was with Philadelphia. All right, we can Hey, 0:47:25.239 --> 0:47:28.480 real quickly, I'm taking control of this podcast back. I'm 0:47:28.520 --> 0:47:31.120 taking control back at the moment, Al in the DMV 0:47:31.520 --> 0:47:33.680 is calling, and I believe it's the first time caller, 0:47:33.760 --> 0:47:35.040 so I want to get to him before the end 0:47:35.080 --> 0:47:37.280 of the show. Al, how's it going. You're on Talking Cowboys? 0:47:37.400 --> 0:47:41.160 Gonna be so mad at us doing great fellas. I 0:47:41.320 --> 0:47:43.640 love your show, I love the Cowboys. I've been in 0:47:43.680 --> 0:47:46.560 Cowboys fans for fifty six years. Real quick, I know 0:47:46.640 --> 0:47:50.600 we're coming to the end of this show. Um, I 0:47:50.800 --> 0:47:54.520 feel I feel as if as if they were flat 0:47:55.080 --> 0:47:58.040 coming out. I've watched the Cowboys for fifty six years. 0:47:58.440 --> 0:48:01.120 They were flat, and I think the reason they were flat, 0:48:01.880 --> 0:48:04.000 which they didn't really have an excuse because it was 0:48:04.080 --> 0:48:08.680 a divisional game. But coming off the Rams, I think 0:48:08.760 --> 0:48:12.120 they they put it all out there and they started flat, 0:48:12.360 --> 0:48:16.439 got behind. I don't think Philadelphia is better. I think 0:48:16.719 --> 0:48:20.560 that we did not make the defensive adjustments that we 0:48:20.719 --> 0:48:24.640 needed to make on the play to Brown, where Michael 0:48:24.760 --> 0:48:28.160 was put in a predicament where he had to play pickles, 0:48:28.600 --> 0:48:31.520 and to me, we should have adjusted. They ran that 0:48:31.640 --> 0:48:33.799 play early, they beat us on it, and they came 0:48:33.920 --> 0:48:36.200 back to it a couple of times and they beat 0:48:36.320 --> 0:48:39.320 us on it. And I do not lastly blame Cooper 0:48:39.400 --> 0:48:46.279 Russ because he that last pass to CD would have 0:48:46.320 --> 0:48:49.640 been six had we had good protection. That's it. I 0:48:49.760 --> 0:48:52.560 love you guys, have a good day. Thanks all. Appreciate 0:48:53.120 --> 0:48:56.239 appreciate you listening. He brings up the it's almost the 0:48:56.320 --> 0:48:58.520 counter argument of a couple things that we had talked 0:48:58.520 --> 0:49:01.839 about previously, because up Rush had put it into situations 0:49:02.000 --> 0:49:06.240 on multiple occasions that didn't necessarily work out in his favor. 0:49:06.360 --> 0:49:08.880 But he didn't have a ton of help around him 0:49:08.880 --> 0:49:11.360 at the same time that really allowed him to be successful. 0:49:11.760 --> 0:49:14.279 For instance, Brandon Graham coming off the edge and just 0:49:14.400 --> 0:49:16.200 flattening Cooper Rush as he was trying to let go 0:49:16.280 --> 0:49:18.439 of that football. It had an effect on the throw. 0:49:18.719 --> 0:49:22.400 It really did in that occasion specifically. Okay, oh it 0:49:22.480 --> 0:49:25.040 sure did, No, it did. I think we got to 0:49:25.040 --> 0:49:28.200 give the Eagles credit for making things tough on the Cowboys. 0:49:28.239 --> 0:49:30.680 I don't think the Cowboys solely beat themselves in this game, 0:49:31.160 --> 0:49:33.080 but I can't wait to see the rematch. You guys, 0:49:33.560 --> 0:49:37.279 at least some of it. Wait, those sailed passes, Yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:49:37.560 --> 0:49:39.360 some of it. He had an inaccurate day. There was 0:49:39.400 --> 0:49:41.919 an armed talent level that's going to rise with Dak 0:49:41.960 --> 0:49:45.719 being back correct playing and simple correct. Well, we're gonna 0:49:45.760 --> 0:49:49.080 talk about that tomorrow, are we. Yeah, it's the Cowboys 0:49:49.160 --> 0:49:52.160 and it's the Lions. Were turning the page, gentlemen, we're 0:49:52.200 --> 0:49:54.000 putting this one in the review mirror. We're not gonna 0:49:54.080 --> 0:49:56.880 let the Eagles beat us twice. It's not gonna happen. 0:49:57.120 --> 0:49:58.959 You're not gonna let them beat you twice. You're gonna 0:49:58.960 --> 0:50:00.680 go into this week and you're to be well prepared. 0:50:00.719 --> 0:50:02.880 At least we are as a show here on Talking 0:50:02.960 --> 0:50:06.719 Cowboys for Chris Beam, Rob Phillips, Isaiah Stanback, Patrick Nose 0:50:06.880 --> 0:50:09.200 walk around, Kyle Yoman saying so long from the Star 0:50:09.280 --> 0:50:12.880 in Frisco. We'll see tomorrow with more Talking Cowboys. This 0:50:13.040 --> 0:50:15.800 has been a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and 0:50:16.000 --> 0:50:17.799 the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
