Speaker 1: The following. He is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot
Speaker 1: Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
Speaker 2: No Cowboys This he's Talking Cowboys Straining live from the
Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys World Horse at the Star in Frisco.
Speaker 3: Touchdown six, Second's got ten six today touchdown and now
Speaker 3: your hosts Isaiah Standback, Patrick Walker, Josh Rodriguez, and Kyle Yeomans.
Speaker 2: Twenty seven twenty on Monday Night Football, the Cowboys fall
Speaker 2: to the Cincinnati Bengals and things just continue to snowball
Speaker 2: in this season of horrors for the Cowboys. Five and
Speaker 2: eight is now the record. But really it's not even
Speaker 2: about the record as much as it is about everything
Speaker 2: else that happened on Monday Night Football, and we're going to
Speaker 2: dive into it here on Talking Cowboys, presented by Black
Speaker 2: Rifle Coffee Company, Live from the Star in Frisco, Texas,
Speaker 2: in the SWBC podcast Studio alongside Patrick No C Walker,
Speaker 2: Josh Rodriguez, Josh by the way, great job hosting last week.
Speaker 2: My friend cooked. I don't want to be around anymore.
Speaker 2: Oh don't say that. Turn that front upside down. Oh wow,
Speaker 2: I gotta go, you gotta go. I'll see you later. Man,
Speaker 2: it was good seeing you again. It's funny, like we
Speaker 2: joke about it, but that's kind of what the fan
Speaker 2: base feels like right now. A lot of time, I
Speaker 2: know you're I know the so it's good to be
Speaker 2: with you. The seven previous losses, there was always some
Speaker 2: sense of frustration, there was some sense of anger, and
Speaker 2: everybody deals with a loss differently, so I'm sure there
Speaker 2: are some Cowboys fans that are dealing with it in
Speaker 2: a similar way for loss number eight as they did
Speaker 2: for the first seven losses. And I'm not going to
Speaker 2: tell anybody how to fan or how to feel whenever
Speaker 2: it comes first loss. However, the general sense that I
Speaker 2: have around what happened on Monday Night Football, it's everybody's
Speaker 2: just bummed. The Cowboys nation is just dejected, and the
Speaker 2: air whatever was left in the balloon, the era has
Speaker 2: now left the balloon and it just feels like, okay,
Speaker 2: So that's how it ends.
Speaker 1: Yeah, not that there ever was a party happening in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, but there was a little bit of fun.
Speaker 2: There was a chance for a party.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there was a little bit of fun over that
Speaker 1: four day span.
Speaker 2: Positive positivity, Yeah, especially.
Speaker 1: In how you beat the Commanders in Washington, and how
Speaker 1: wild and crazy that game was. And then you circle
Speaker 1: back four days later and you finally snap the losing
Speaker 1: streak at home against you know, and then it was
Speaker 1: against the Giants on Thanksgiving with everybody watching, and you
Speaker 1: enjoy your turkey and the fixings and all that good
Speaker 1: stuff and nobody. I'm not gonna say nobody. I don't
Speaker 1: want to generalize. Yeah, but understood that while we were
Speaker 1: enjoying that, you weren't going to make the playoffs. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but you were still enjoying it because the team was
Speaker 1: less than it was not great, but you were enjoying
Speaker 1: it because the team was showing fight. The coaches hadn't
Speaker 1: lost the locker room, and they still haven't lost the
Speaker 1: locker room. But then when you look at yesterday's game
Speaker 1: and against Cincinnati, the defense again stepped up. We talked
Speaker 1: last week about where we ranking this defense as far
Speaker 1: as are they good yet are they above average? And
Speaker 1: we said they're more than They're more than solid. They're
Speaker 1: piecing some things together for the most part. I mean,
Speaker 1: when you hold Jamar Chase and Joe Burrow and that
Speaker 1: offense to only twenty points going into the final two
Speaker 1: minutes of the game, and it's a tie ball game,
Speaker 1: you just have to feel good about it. And then
Speaker 1: what happened immediately thereafter, it was quite literally the balloon
Speaker 1: popping and you could hear all the air gets sucked
Speaker 1: out of the stadium, could hear in the press box,
Speaker 1: you could hear the air get sucked out of the
Speaker 1: press box. So as soon as Nick Vigil blocked that punt,
Speaker 1: you talked about emotional whiplash. Everybody, including those in the
Speaker 1: press box, they're like, holy crep. And before you could
Speaker 1: finish that statement, everybody was turned to yell and don't
Speaker 1: touch the ball, don't stay away from the ball. And
Speaker 1: once he touched that ball and muffed it and they
Speaker 1: recovered it, that's that, Yeah, turned lights out everybody.
Speaker 4: And I think Nick Eatman said this in the press box.
Speaker 4: It's like everybody knew in their heart, like you could
Speaker 4: just hear her when like, stay away from the ball,
Speaker 4: stay away.
Speaker 5: From the ball.
Speaker 4: As soon as the pump was blocked, everybody except for
Speaker 4: the one person that.
Speaker 1: Needs to for the one person.
Speaker 2: Uh, And that's tough for Ao.
Speaker 4: Of course, he was activated just before the game, and
Speaker 4: you look at the locker room, you know, like him
Speaker 4: walking to the locker room with a towel over his head,
Speaker 4: just absolutely bummed because he knows that he just lost
Speaker 4: this game for the city of Dallas, for every Dallas
Speaker 4: Cowboy fan.
Speaker 2: Right then they go to the media.
Speaker 4: Of course, you know, it's like, all right, well, we've
Speaker 4: got to talk to him, right yeah, But C. J.
Speaker 4: Goodwin does what a leader does, and he stepped in
Speaker 4: for him and he said, well, you know, I understand
Speaker 4: it's your job to ask him about this performance, ask
Speaker 4: him about the play, but it's also my job to
Speaker 4: lead the special teams and protect him basically from the
Speaker 4: bombardment of of inquiries that you're going to have for
Speaker 4: you know, a player that was just trying to do
Speaker 4: the right thing and you know that stuff.
Speaker 1: And what sucks about it is, well, even more so
Speaker 1: that play is it's not the only reason the Cowboys lost,
Speaker 1: but it is sure the defining moment.
Speaker 2: He blocked the punt that put them in.
Speaker 1: Of not only that game, but that will go down
Speaker 1: as a microcosm of how the season has gone for
Speaker 1: the Cowboys.
Speaker 2: Has there been so many of those plays though, But.
Speaker 1: That that's going to go and I hate this for Ao,
Speaker 1: but that's going to go down in infamy. That that's
Speaker 1: up there with leon Lett, Terrence Williams not running out
Speaker 1: of bounds at least fair you will.
Speaker 2: And that season was a little bit more high intensity,
Speaker 2: I think the leon Lette situation, and Nate Newton talked
Speaker 2: about it in post game. He said, leon Let hit
Speaker 2: in the X X ray room after the game and
Speaker 2: you had to pry them out of there, and so
Speaker 2: the same kind of feeling from Ammonio will Warria. But
Speaker 2: let's not get a twist. I mean, the Cowboys were
Speaker 2: at five and seven. It goes back to what Patrick
Speaker 2: was saying a moment ago. Cowboys were at five and seven.
Speaker 2: You had to win out to give yourself a shot
Speaker 2: to even get into the postseason. Still have a minus
Speaker 2: one percent chance to get there. Still, if you went
Speaker 2: out and there's no room for error, zero room, you
Speaker 2: can't lose again. So the the I don't think they're
Speaker 2: on the same level, but they're going to be compared
Speaker 2: because it was a special teams blunder on a similar
Speaker 2: play that could have won the football game but instead
Speaker 2: of lost the football game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it's it's a will be compared. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a football like you play that that cost the
Speaker 1: Cowboys a game. So, whether it be Leon or like
Speaker 1: I said, rather it be more recently Naseean Wright or
Speaker 1: a little less recently Terrence Williams. Although that was an
Speaker 1: offensive play. But for those of you who remember that game,
Speaker 1: Dez Bryant is literally screaming and pointing at get out
Speaker 1: of bounds. Get out of bounds because they didn't have
Speaker 1: any timeouts. He didn't catch the ball goes out because
Speaker 1: he was trying to be a hero. He was trying
Speaker 1: to get a few more yards, and that few more
Speaker 1: yards cost the game.
Speaker 2: And that goes underguard this situation.
Speaker 1: The AO was trying to be the hero, but the
Speaker 1: Cowboys didn't need a hero, and in that moment, they
Speaker 1: just needed you to get out of the way. And
Speaker 1: Nick Vigil was already the hero on that p Yeah,
Speaker 1: Nick Vigil was the hero. So and there's just a
Speaker 1: reason that that kind of play the ball is called poison.
Speaker 1: You can get away from the poison, right, just leave
Speaker 1: it be because and I know some people are like, well,
Speaker 1: that's a stupid rule. Well, whether it's you believe it's
Speaker 1: a stupid rule or not, it's the rule. And it's
Speaker 1: coached into the players, and this is a seven year
Speaker 1: veteran and he's playing special teams. And then the other
Speaker 1: thing that crossed my mind was, Okay, well does Tyres
Speaker 1: Weed touch that ball?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 1: Because Tyris we a good special teams guy. He was
Speaker 1: made inactive yesterday, AO was up for depth things like that.
Speaker 1: But those are all things that can be second guests.
Speaker 1: But what should not be second guests is the fact
Speaker 1: that this is a seven year player who's being coached
Speaker 1: up by arguably the best special teams coordinator in the game,
Speaker 1: and before that play happens, before you run onto the field,
Speaker 1: you need to understand and let your coaching overrun your
Speaker 1: instinct and know that, hey, if this ball is blocked,
Speaker 1: no one else needs to touch it, including myself. So
Speaker 1: it's more than tough. It is absolutely devastating. And then
Speaker 1: what also sucks the remainder of whatever molecule of oxygen
Speaker 1: was remaining in the room is the demarveion overshown. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so not only do you lose this game in the
Speaker 1: fashion in which you lose this game, but you lose
Speaker 1: a Pro Bowl caliber, all Pro caliber talent for not
Speaker 1: just the rest of this season, as Jerry Jones told
Speaker 1: one oh five three, the fan to Marion Overshown will
Speaker 1: require surgery to repair the damage in his right knee.
Speaker 1: His left knee is what was repaired his rookie season
Speaker 1: ahead of his rookie season, but given the timing of it,
Speaker 1: and although tests are still being run to get his cardinosis,
Speaker 1: it's safe to say it. And I would love to
Speaker 1: be wrong here, but it's safe to say that we
Speaker 1: may not see to Marion Overshown until twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1: That hurts no or the word fits it, but devastating, gutting,
Speaker 1: heartbreaking pain. Bad things do happen to good people, and
Speaker 1: this is an example of that. And all we can
Speaker 1: say is prayers and positive energy to the Marion Overshown.
Speaker 1: If anyone can overcome it, he absolutely is the one
Speaker 1: who can overcome it. But you just in a season
Speaker 1: that we said this a few weeks ago, they're seemingly
Speaker 1: just when you think you hit rock bottom, yep, a
Speaker 1: new rock bottom appears, and here we are at a
Speaker 1: new rock bottom.
Speaker 2: And this one was unfortunate because there's nothing you can
Speaker 2: do about. I mean, he's playing hard, he's gonna he
Speaker 2: was he always won the player.
Speaker 1: Went into his leg and I saw someone on Twitter said, old,
Speaker 1: maybe we should have the turf versus grass conversation. Well,
Speaker 1: maybe you should watch the game because this. While that's
Speaker 1: a valid conversation in some aspects, that's not what happened here.
Speaker 1: He was in the middle of a play and another
Speaker 1: guy just got thrown into his list football. That was
Speaker 1: a football of the injury.
Speaker 2: The other thing about Demarvi and overshown is there's two ways,
Speaker 2: two paths that can happen now with his career. Either
Speaker 2: because it was his right knee that got hurt last night,
Speaker 2: it was his left knee previously that was hurt in
Speaker 2: the preseason last year, last year, going into twenty twenty three,
Speaker 2: so one of two things. Either one, he's going to
Speaker 2: come back, continue to play at a high level, and
Speaker 2: he's going to overcome this adversity and it's going to
Speaker 2: be one of the best resilient stories on the Cowboys roster,
Speaker 2: franchise history, whatever, because he's come back from two severe
Speaker 2: knee injuries to the point where he's playing at a
Speaker 2: very high level. So boom, there's one road. The other
Speaker 2: road is a realistic chance as well. I don't want
Speaker 2: to count out to Marvin Overshown, but he would become
Speaker 2: one of the biggest what ifs in Cowboys history. And
Speaker 2: I would say, it's just even saying those words maybe
Speaker 2: sick makes me sick. It absolutely does, because he's been
Speaker 2: I mean, going into the preseason last year, he showed
Speaker 2: all that fire, all that that intensity, all that aggressiveness,
Speaker 2: got hurt and then it's like, Okay, okay, people have
Speaker 2: come back from worse. We're gonna make this work. He's
Speaker 2: going to get through rehab, get back on the field
Speaker 2: for twenty twenty four. Sure enough, he did. Was playing
Speaker 2: at a significantly high level. I don't know about All
Speaker 2: Pro this year, but he was definitely in the Pro
Speaker 2: Bowl in the conversation, and then the All Pro conversation
Speaker 2: in the future was certainly there. Now you've got to
Speaker 2: wait maybe not one but two full seasons to really
Speaker 2: or not full seasons, but.
Speaker 1: You get what I mean, more than one and a
Speaker 1: half calendar years is basically what it would amount to.
Speaker 2: And now you got to wait for that significant on
Speaker 2: the other knee to rehab and get back to it.
Speaker 2: Michael Parson said it last night, and I couldn't agree more.
Speaker 2: You would never wish that upon anybody. Nonetheless, somebody like
Speaker 2: Demo who people love being around, love playing with, love
Speaker 2: watching play.
Speaker 4: At the same time, Marvin Overshown said on his ex account,
Speaker 4: wouldn't want this for anyone else, one of God's toughest
Speaker 4: told soldiers, keep me in your prayers and regardless of
Speaker 4: what you believe. I think just the pain kind of
Speaker 4: comes through on that comment.
Speaker 2: And he was just talking about the rehab back from
Speaker 2: last year in the locker room on Wednesday. He was
Speaker 2: just talking about it.
Speaker 1: And if you want to know exactly how much de
Speaker 1: Marvion Overshown already means to this team, in this organization,
Speaker 1: look at the Michael Parsons postgame interview yesterday. Michael Parsons
Speaker 1: was choked up, literally wiping tears away from his face,
Speaker 1: thinking about, you know what Demarvia the road Demarveon has
Speaker 1: ahead of him. After the road he's already taken to
Speaker 1: get to this point with the devastating twenty cl suffered
Speaker 1: in preseason ahead of his rookie season. So if there's
Speaker 1: anything positive to be taken away from it, again, we've
Speaker 1: seen evidence that the Marvion Overshown can come back from
Speaker 1: from a tragic knee injury. And the other silver lining,
Speaker 1: if that's what you want to call it, is that
Speaker 1: it's not the same knee as it was last year.
Speaker 1: So when we talk about like John Stevens Junior, you're
Speaker 1: concerned because he retore that acl which weakens it that
Speaker 1: much more. So we're worried about what he looks like
Speaker 1: when he gets back. But de Marveon it's just a
Speaker 1: matter of go have the surgery and we'll see what
Speaker 1: the extent of it is. But I do get the
Speaker 1: the implication that it is more than just a torn
Speaker 1: a cl So.
Speaker 2: You see these injuries happen all the time.
Speaker 4: You see this like you're saying, Coyle, it couldn't happen
Speaker 4: to a better person, And I don't know, at least
Speaker 4: whenever you see these injuries happen, it's kind of like,
Speaker 4: all right, well, you know that sucks. See him next year, right, Yeah,
Speaker 4: this one is gonna hurt for a really long time.
Speaker 2: And not just.
Speaker 4: Selfishly, I'm not just speaking for myself, but if you're
Speaker 4: talking about the people that support this team and the defense,
Speaker 4: the players on this defense, where you see Demarvin Overshown
Speaker 4: being the heart of it, he is the energy. He
Speaker 4: is the young buck that has come up to be
Speaker 4: a you know, a star, a star in the making,
Speaker 4: right playmaker just all over the field. To see that
Speaker 4: happen to him is really devastating, and just like it
Speaker 4: really does feel like, what did we do wrong?
Speaker 1: Who is the season is claiming souls?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: And I'm not even going to what did we do wrong?
Speaker 1: Just go to my Twitter if you want the Chiefs
Speaker 1: joke about that. I'm not going to make it here.
Speaker 1: I saw it because I don't feel like making it here.
Speaker 1: But yeah, man, I mean, the list goes on and on,
Speaker 1: and unfortunately, it feels like nearly every week, which not
Speaker 1: even it feels like it's true, nearly every week the
Speaker 1: Cowboys lose someone for the.
Speaker 2: Season and a tenth pole of your team.
Speaker 1: And now it's at the point where, well, like we said,
Speaker 1: the balloon has popped, right, anybody who was holding on
Speaker 1: to that minuscule hope for the playoffs throwed it out
Speaker 1: the window. So now you want to finish these last
Speaker 1: four games. You want to finish them strong, you want
Speaker 1: to have some fight, You want to do your evaluations
Speaker 1: on some of these younger players, But you have to
Speaker 1: have a very real concern about who who might drop next.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because again we're talking about twenty five at this point.
Speaker 2: We're that late in the season where you are talking
Speaker 2: about twenty twenty five, and we want to wish the
Speaker 2: best to Demo in that recovery because, like you said,
Speaker 2: injuries are awful no matter what happened, who they happened to,
Speaker 2: and the rehabits started to back up no matter what.
Speaker 2: But it doesn't matter when it's someone like exactly the
Speaker 2: way that he's gotten to this point and pushed through
Speaker 2: adversity and was really the bright spot of the twenty
Speaker 2: twenty four season for the Cowboys, especially on the defensive side,
Speaker 2: and one of the reasons why they have been playing
Speaker 2: so well as of late. Him and Micah Parsons, both
Speaker 2: those guys have stepped up in a big way. And
Speaker 2: we're looking to push this thing into a twenty twenty
Speaker 2: five season where the defense looked legitimate again and we're
Speaker 2: not going to get that, at least without Demo.
Speaker 4: No, and he was who you were looking at along
Speaker 4: with Michael Parsons to build off of Andrevon Diggs Andron
Speaker 4: plan for next season. You know, it's like exactly a
Speaker 4: cornerstone to say, this is what you build on for
Speaker 4: next season. You put pieces around this guy and you
Speaker 4: are going to be fine, and you don't have that anymore.
Speaker 1: Fire this season into this seriously, so.
Speaker 2: We can't do that. Unfortunately, we've got four more games left.
Speaker 2: When we come back on Talking Cowboys, I don't want
Speaker 2: to give a pass to Dallas for losing this game
Speaker 2: at all. There were reasons for them and opportunities for
Speaker 2: them to win the game. I want to talk about
Speaker 2: the specific moment after the blocked punt and the punt fiasco,
Speaker 2: the Bengals blunder as I called it last night on postgame.
Speaker 2: I want to talk about the moments after that there
Speaker 2: was still a chance for you to win that game
Speaker 2: and you did not. When we come back with more
Speaker 2: on Talking Cowboys. If you're looking for fresh American roasted
Speaker 2: coffee that gives back, you need to head to your

Speaker 2: of the show is brought to you by Quaker Oats,
Speaker 2: the official oatmeal sponsor of the Dallas Cowboys. Quaker Oats
Speaker 2: trusted since eighteen seventy seven. That was the best thing
Speaker 2: I thought about when I woke up this morning.
Speaker 1: Quaker oats, that's a good thing to think about.
Speaker 2: Use a QR code in the corner and the quake
Speaker 2: ar code. Still thing. We're sad, it's a sad day.
Speaker 2: We're sad. Boy energy here.
Speaker 1: Uh it's rough, man.
Speaker 2: I Like I said going into the break, I don't
Speaker 2: want to give a pass to the Cowboys because there
Speaker 2: were multiple chances. You intercept Joe Burrow twice, you have
Speaker 2: a couple of opportunities to go down and score. Instead,
Speaker 2: you'd either pitter patter and end up with a field goal,
Speaker 2: and he had another red zone turnover. Things just didn't
Speaker 2: accumulate the way you wanted to. Despite playing well and
Speaker 2: enough to win the game, which the Cowboys did. They
Speaker 2: played well enough to win. They didn't go and take
Speaker 2: it either, and they didn't win because of that. They
Speaker 2: left the door open. And when you do so, the
Speaker 2: margins are so very slim in these NFL games that
Speaker 2: just one play can turn the tide. And we saw
Speaker 2: it there. Even after the special teams blunder, Cincinnati got
Speaker 2: the ball on their half of the fifty. Your defense
Speaker 2: has a chance to bow up one more time. And
Speaker 2: I know it's a tough ask it is a tough
Speaker 2: ass to stop Joe Burrow, Jamar Chase and the Bengals
Speaker 2: offense not once but twice in the fourth quarter from
Speaker 2: stopping a game winning drive. But what had happened. I
Speaker 2: thought it was a, like you said, a microcosm of
Speaker 2: the season. But also that was the first time that
Speaker 2: I really said I felt like the effort took a dip.
Speaker 2: And I don't blame you because of the air leaving
Speaker 2: the stadium and the situation at hand, but the forty
Speaker 2: yard touchdown to Jamar Chase I thought was inexcusable as well.
Speaker 2: And when you look at the film, it was atrocious. Okay,
Speaker 2: the coverage was awful.
Speaker 1: So and this I'm with you here. This all season
Speaker 1: I fought against the wave of criticism about this team's effort. Okay,
Speaker 1: for me, it was the other word. It was execution. Okay, absolutely, Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is the first time I'm going to say this,
Speaker 1: and I'm right there with you, cal The effort on
Speaker 1: that play on the forty yard touchdown to Jamar Chase
Speaker 1: was absolutely not there. It was absent, completely devoid. But
Speaker 1: it's because of what you said, deflation. They that defense
Speaker 1: was still in shock after Ao muffed that punt. Camera
Speaker 1: panned over to Michael Parsons. Michael was in tears. Yeah, yep,
Speaker 1: he was completely beside himself. And this is the that's
Speaker 1: the defense that had to retake the field immediately. They
Speaker 1: were not mentally on that field for that play that
Speaker 1: ended up in that forty yard touchdown to Jamar Chase.
Speaker 1: They just were not. They were still in a state
Speaker 1: of absolute shock mentally and emotionally, and that's why you
Speaker 1: didn't see the effort on.
Speaker 4: That play to hold them to twenty points and then
Speaker 4: also for Jamar Chase to be that open. Every single
Speaker 4: reception to me was he.
Speaker 2: Was dicing up. It was he's incredible.
Speaker 1: And because he's doing that to most defense, our.
Speaker 4: Entire defense was in a blender of the entire game.
Speaker 4: And granted we talked about this is the first time
Speaker 4: you're seeing Trayvon Diggs, Deron Bland, and Jordan Lewis.
Speaker 2: On the field at the same time the first I
Speaker 2: think it would have been worse if they weren't on the.
Speaker 4: Still had the chemistry is not there obviously because that's
Speaker 4: their first time ever playing together.
Speaker 2: But like you said, after the money or a.
Speaker 4: Situation blocked punt mistake all of that for them to
Speaker 4: it's a self fulfilling prophecy to let that touchdown go
Speaker 4: because at that point, it's.
Speaker 2: Like what else, I'm telling you, what else they do
Speaker 2: we need to give?
Speaker 1: They were having an out of body experience at that
Speaker 1: point on that particular on that particular play. They couldn't
Speaker 1: have told you if they were in Arlington, Texas or Arlington, Maine,
Speaker 1: assuming there's an Arlington, Maine. I mean, they were just
Speaker 1: trying to figure out what the hell had just happened.
Speaker 1: And before they could kind of reground themselves and get
Speaker 1: their feedback onto the ground, Burrow, Joe Burrow had already
Speaker 1: thrown that ball to Jamar Chase and Deron Bland missed
Speaker 1: the tackle because again, the defense just wasn't there for
Speaker 1: that play mentally, and then the rest was the rest.
Speaker 1: And then you know, you got to put it on
Speaker 1: the offense as well, because even after that play, the
Speaker 1: offense did have time to try to come down and
Speaker 1: do something. But then you know, Trey Henderson gets through
Speaker 1: for another sack on Cooper Rush, which kind of pushed
Speaker 1: that drive back even worse. And then from there it
Speaker 1: was just you know.
Speaker 4: What was what was one of the things we talked
Speaker 4: about coming into this game, were I mean or any
Speaker 4: game against the Dallas cow was the season words.
Speaker 2: It's kind of a get right to get right game.
Speaker 2: It's a get right game.
Speaker 4: If you have the weakness on your team, it always
Speaker 4: tends to look pretty.
Speaker 1: Great against the goals.
Speaker 2: Weakness was the offensive line.
Speaker 1: Not just that they couldn't win close games.
Speaker 4: That too out there, you just got right, but the
Speaker 4: offensive line for the Cincinnati Bengals, they were terrible. They're
Speaker 4: they're awful, They're horrendous. Yeah, yet we gave Joe Burrow
Speaker 4: all day well you know, I mean, he was getting
Speaker 4: the ball out fast.
Speaker 1: Here's what was happening. What was happening.
Speaker 2: There was no pressure.
Speaker 1: He sat here on Talking Cowboys and said what happened? Yes,
Speaker 1: we said, pressure will not be enough against Joe Burrow.
Speaker 2: I got to get home.
Speaker 1: Against a lot of other quarterbacks, pressure is enough to disrupt,
Speaker 1: knock him off the spot, and you can make some
Speaker 1: plays off of that. But if you don't get home
Speaker 1: on him, you knock him off his spot. He sets
Speaker 1: another spot, yes, somewhere else, and he did it time
Speaker 1: from anywhere.
Speaker 2: His pocket presence is He's about as good as anybody
Speaker 2: I've ever seen and in the NFL's history, out of
Speaker 2: all the film that we've watched, and he showed a
Speaker 2: little bit of this at LSU. But he had an
Speaker 2: incredible offensive line at LSU, so he didn't have to
Speaker 2: play in a dirty pocket. The pocket was dirty. Even
Speaker 2: on the forty touchdown play. I'm looking at it right now.
Speaker 2: The pocket was collapsing. Os Digi Zua was working on
Speaker 2: the inside and Micah was pressuring off the left side.
Speaker 2: I don't know if the pressure numbers are even up yet,
Speaker 2: but he had pressure throughout the night. The thing about
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow is he can escape it. And when he
Speaker 2: escapes it, then it's just backyard football at that point.
Speaker 2: And when it's backyard football, who do you look for?
Speaker 2: Whenever you're looking downfield? You look for your best friend,
Speaker 2: number one, the one you got, the one guy you
Speaker 2: know is going to be open at all times, that
Speaker 2: knows you like the background, and knows exactly where you're
Speaker 2: going to be and what you're going to be doing.
Speaker 2: And guess what, he's got one of those. And his
Speaker 2: name is Jamar Chase. They went to LSU together, won
Speaker 2: this thing called a national championship, got drafted just a
Speaker 2: year apart, and then now we're kicking button in the
Speaker 2: NFL together, and just fourteen receptions seventy seven years is
Speaker 2: No bigg was targeted like forty five times. Not really,
Speaker 2: but I really do think that that's that's the Cincinnati
Speaker 2: plan right now is And Joe has said it before.
Speaker 2: It's not like he's trying to keep it a secret.
Speaker 2: He says, when I get in trouble, I work out
Speaker 2: of the pocket and then I look for Jamar and
Speaker 2: somewhere downfield he will be open. And that's what they do.
Speaker 2: And they did it over and over and over again,
Speaker 2: including on the forty yard touchdown in the game.
Speaker 4: For the inquisitive fan, explain to me why you can't
Speaker 4: do that with Ceedee Lamb. Explain to me why Ceedee
Speaker 4: Lamb is an open on every single guitar right now,
Speaker 4: right this second. Yes, you don't have the quarterback to
Speaker 4: conduce that. You don't have the quarterback to give them
Speaker 4: that opportunity. Remember, entering this game, Jamar Chase and Ceedee
Speaker 4: Lamb were both tied with seventy nine receptions this season.
Speaker 4: They're tied for second in the NFL in terms of reception.
Speaker 4: So it's not like Ceedee Lamb. I saw somebody in
Speaker 4: my mentions say.
Speaker 2: Why can't we feed our number one receiver the ball?
Speaker 2: I can't believe there's a lack of creativity. Honest, the game,
Speaker 2: they're going to give the ball to Ceede Lamb. He's
Speaker 2: tied for second in the NFL in receptions with Jamar Chase.
Speaker 2: So yes, there was a discreption see last night. But
Speaker 2: in general, they've gotten the ball to CD Lamb. But
Speaker 2: you don't have Cooper Rush who can build something out
Speaker 2: of nothing from a mobility standpoint, and Dak doesn't really
Speaker 2: do that a Tony either, But Dak's got a better
Speaker 2: arm and a better wherewithal of pocket presence to be
Speaker 2: able to do that. Cooper Rush is snapball, get ball
Speaker 2: out quickly before the offensive line caves in in front
Speaker 2: of you.
Speaker 1: So but also, and keep in mind, when you're looking
Speaker 1: at the film from last night to your point, cale,
Speaker 1: there was several points during the game where Cooper Rush
Speaker 1: had a clean pocket and still delivered a bad ball.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he doesn't have to didn't.
Speaker 1: See or didn't see CD Lamb being wide open.
Speaker 4: And that goes to Isaiah's point from last our last
Speaker 4: episode is that there's no velocity on Cooper Rush's ball.
Speaker 2: There were a couple of times where gamesman, it fell
Speaker 2: off the table, and sometimes you want that kind of touch.
Speaker 2: There was one play I think of that was a completion.
Speaker 2: I can't remember if it was a second or the
Speaker 2: third quarter where he went over the top of a
Speaker 2: linebacker and dropped it and it kind of at the
Speaker 2: end and it went right to the receiver. It was
Speaker 2: a great throw. You wanted it there. But there are
Speaker 2: a lot of times. The Cavante Turpin d ball right
Speaker 2: sideline was one that I thought Turpin didn't necessarily have
Speaker 2: any room or separation in his own right, but that
Speaker 2: are under thrown. I mean it was if you're gonna
Speaker 2: lead Cavante Turpin, lead Cavante Turpin, He's the fastest man
Speaker 2: in the NFL, by God's sake, I mean, lead him.
Speaker 2: They left a ten yard short and that's that's normal.
Speaker 2: That's normal to see from Cooper Rush. That's why he's
Speaker 2: a backup quarterback and he's limited, and that's why when
Speaker 2: people decide to hate on on Deck and hate on
Speaker 2: his mistakes and clamor that hey it's he's not the
Speaker 2: franchise quarterback. They don't grow on trees, people, they really don't.
Speaker 2: And you've got a solid, solidified backup quarterback in Cooper Rush,
Speaker 2: and yet you can still see why there's a discrepancy
Speaker 2: between him and the starter caliber.
Speaker 1: And to answer your question, the Cowboys can do that
Speaker 1: with Ceedee Lamb because they have done that with Ceedee Lamb.
Speaker 1: It last year, for example, Dak and Ceedee Lamb were
Speaker 1: firing on all cylinder records and the play calling was
Speaker 1: firing on all cylinders, literally broke records. Ceedee Lamb literally
Speaker 1: has a pair of gloves now in Canton because.
Speaker 2: He had a better year than Jamar Chase exactly.
Speaker 1: Now it's chasing in coming into this season, it was
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson and Ceede Lamb. And you could have the
Speaker 1: argument one A, one B.
Speaker 2: Chase up there too.
Speaker 1: No, I mean as far as one two right, So
Speaker 1: Chase was like three right, he was he theft They're
Speaker 1: all incredible, Well now, oh no, he's incredible. But based
Speaker 1: off the season of the twenty twenty three season, it
Speaker 1: was Justin Jefferson versus Ceedee Lamb, and of course it
Speaker 1: was that was also what few the who's going to
Speaker 1: end up getting the bigger contract right now, Ceedee Lamb
Speaker 1: has taken a step back, not because of Ceede Lamb,
Speaker 1: but because of other factors. The play calling. You could
Speaker 1: question that shoulder. His shoulder. Obviously you lose Dak, but
Speaker 1: then things were still kind of shaky because he training
Speaker 1: camp with the holdout, so he got off to a
Speaker 1: slow start. All these things mattered. All these things are true,
Speaker 1: But I say that to say this offense with Dak
Speaker 1: Prescott in the center and Micha McCarthy is a play caller,
Speaker 1: have shown that they can do what Joe Burrow, Zach Taylor,
Speaker 1: and Jamar Chase are doing right now. But this is
Speaker 1: just the season of Murphy's Law. Nothing's going right.
Speaker 4: Well what you just said, you still have the same
Speaker 4: play caller from last season. I just don't think the
Speaker 4: plays are necessarily there for CD, and a big part
Speaker 4: of that is the quarterback exactly.
Speaker 2: I think that the playbook goes from here to yeah.
Speaker 2: And that's not a knock on Cooper Rush as a
Speaker 2: person and as a preparator, preparator, preparer, prepartutur, I don't
Speaker 2: even know what that word would be, but a studier
Speaker 2: and whenever it comes to the playbook, a studious Cooper Rush. No,
Speaker 2: it what it does is it's it's just his limitations
Speaker 2: as a quarterback. Yeah, that's all it is.
Speaker 4: It's I mean, I don't know, there might be another
Speaker 4: quarterback situation that would work a little better, depending on
Speaker 4: you know, the dual threat that they might give you
Speaker 4: at some point.
Speaker 1: It's amazing. Oh and I mean, you know he's hitting
Speaker 1: you from five point one million dollars.
Speaker 2: I mean, Jerry Jerry alluded to it on the fan
Speaker 2: this morning. We're getting closer to Trey Lance. We're getting
Speaker 2: closer to that. I and we talked about this a
Speaker 2: little bit of the break, But I don't think you'll
Speaker 2: see Trey Lance until the Cowboys are mathematically eliminated, whether
Speaker 2: that's next week or the week after, or whatever it
Speaker 2: may be. It may be two game final, two games
Speaker 2: of the year, if they're mathematically eliminated from postseason contention.
Speaker 2: I think that's when you'll see Trey Lance.
Speaker 4: And I don't want to say that should be the
Speaker 4: case or shouldn't be the case, just for you, for
Speaker 4: your sake, you're in charge.
Speaker 2: Of the team. Would you be seeing him by now. No,
Speaker 2: you wouldn't be seeing Lance.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't.
Speaker 2: I saw a lot during the preseason, and I get
Speaker 2: there's a there's an unknown factor of with twos and threes.
Speaker 2: You're playing with twos and threes for the most part
Speaker 2: right now too. Other than Seee Lamb and Brandon Cooks.
Speaker 2: I mean, you're banged up up front, you don't have
Speaker 2: a ton going on offensively, You're all enough from Trey
Speaker 2: Lance to say, Okay, I have enough here to say
Speaker 2: Cooper Rush is still gonna give me a great chance
Speaker 2: to win games. With that being said, I don't think
Speaker 2: you need to shelf him for the rest of the year.
Speaker 2: I still think you'll see him. I just don't think
Speaker 2: right now is the right time for that. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you can still finish above five hundred, and then all
Speaker 2: of a sudden, we're talking about I think I know
Speaker 2: Pat to answer, Yeah, Pat has seen him three weeks.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, But honestly, at this point, it doesn't better.
Speaker 1: You got four games left, just just uh. I would
Speaker 1: say right it out, but the train isn't even on
Speaker 1: the rails right now. So yeah, you're just waiting for
Speaker 1: the sudden to finish going down at this point.
Speaker 2: You know what's gonna make us feel better. You know
Speaker 2: what will make us feel better. Oats, spycraft for coffee, all
Speaker 2: of those things, but taking phone calls. We're gonna take
Speaker 2: some phone calls. Eight eight eight eight five five two

Speaker 2: To Talking Cowboys. Back here on Talking Cowboys. This segment
Speaker 2: of the show is brought to you by and Visline,
Speaker 2: the official Smile of the Dallas Cowboys. Welcome in alongside
Speaker 2: Josh Rodriguez, Patrick no Cy Walker. I'm Kyle Yeoman's Isaiah
Speaker 2: stand back on Good Morning Football Today. We've got to
Speaker 2: take some calls eight a eighty five to five. If anything,
Speaker 2: he's talking about the Cowboys on a national they immediately
Speaker 2: we walked in here. I looked up there and he
Speaker 2: had a tiny little Santa hat on and they like
Speaker 2: did a freeze frame with it. He was just talking
Speaker 2: like about the game, and I was like, yeah, sorry dude,
Speaker 2: that one. Thanks for everything. Appreciate you, all right, eight
Speaker 2: eight eight five five. We're gonna talk to Cowboys Nation
Speaker 2: here during this final segment. It is a Talking Tuesday.
Speaker 2: Let's go to Champ in Nebraska. Champ, you're on Talking Cowboys.
Speaker 2: Thanks for calling.
Speaker 5: Again, Hey, Bud, how's it going. Good to talk to
Speaker 5: you the guys.
Speaker 1: It's going Champ.
Speaker 12: It's oh my gosh.
Speaker 7: No see.
Speaker 5: I saw your Twitter last night and comment on the
Speaker 5: one guy that was complaining about blocking the tint and.
Speaker 12: I was like, what is this guy?
Speaker 5: He was from Cleveland?
Speaker 12: Most makes sense anyway, nuts man, guys, I'll tell you
Speaker 12: the last few weeks have been fun winning.
Speaker 5: It's all fun to win. Yeah. My thoughts on the
Speaker 5: season a few weeks back where it's probably not going
Speaker 5: to go the way we'd like.
Speaker 12: So let's just have some fun.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but last night was horrible for the fact that
Speaker 5: we did defense, did everything great, even that last drive.
Speaker 5: I don't put on him because, like you guys said earlier,
Speaker 5: they were in shock of what had just happened. That
Speaker 5: mistake by Ao. I was so angry with Tim because
Speaker 5: he was trying to be a hero, and like Nosey
Speaker 5: said earlier, we didn't need a hero in that moment.
Speaker 5: People talk about the leon Let thing. Leon Lett was
Speaker 5: trying to help.
Speaker 12: The team because he thought, I need to recover.
Speaker 5: This ball so that we can win. Ao was saying,
Speaker 5: I want to take this ball back and be the hero.
Speaker 12: When we win.
Speaker 5: Big difference, huge difference, And that's what was upsetting to
Speaker 5: me about his mistake last night. Also, McCarthy's just not
Speaker 5: sticking with the run. Rico is just running it down
Speaker 5: these guys' throats. Rigo could have had close to a
Speaker 5: two hundred yard game, agreed, and he went away from it.
Speaker 5: Fourteen run on that driving the point quarter and then
Speaker 5: a pass to the flat that he Cooper can't get
Speaker 5: to fird and then two more passes and we're punning.
Speaker 5: I was like, what is wrong, Like, why are you
Speaker 5: doing that? So I love the show, I love you guys,
Speaker 5: I'm gonna listen. I'm gonna be a fan. But man,
Speaker 5: was that frustrating? And then, like you said, dem ye,
Speaker 5: oh my gosh, my heart breaks for that man.
Speaker 12: No doubt everything he did to come back and be
Speaker 12: what he was doing where he was at and I
Speaker 12: had this happened.
Speaker 5: Man, my heart and prayers go out to him. Thank
Speaker 5: you so much, somebody else calling him, But guys, this
Speaker 5: one was hard to swallow yesterday, no.
Speaker 2: Doubt about it. Thanks for the call, Champ. Appreciate you.
Speaker 1: So what he's speaking of is there? And I've seen
Speaker 1: a couple of people say it. Once said it directly
Speaker 1: to me, and then I've seen some other writers kind
Speaker 1: of putting out there. They were blaming the decision to
Speaker 1: block the punt. That's right, So let me let me
Speaker 1: hold on, let me let me be clear.
Speaker 2: How does that make let me be they're saying, so
Speaker 2: they're saying the problem.
Speaker 13: They're blaming Fossil and and that Visil for actually blocking
Speaker 13: the punt, not the gaff that AO orchestrated.
Speaker 1: After they're after, here's.
Speaker 2: I've got something on that too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, let me just be clear, okay, because it was
Speaker 1: a fan that said it to me, and then I
Speaker 1: effectively had to put that fan, unfortunately in a bag
Speaker 1: and send him home with a tag on his toe.
Speaker 1: But there are other writers saying this. I realize other
Speaker 1: writers were colleagues. But let me be clear, and feel
Speaker 1: free to call me, text me, email me, send me
Speaker 1: a Western Union telegram, pony Express, want to I want
Speaker 1: you to understand, look at me in my eyes and
Speaker 1: understand you have lost your damn mind. I don't want
Speaker 1: to hear any of that bs that you're talking about.
Speaker 1: That learn ball, that block feel oh sorry, that block
Speaker 1: punt would have put the Cowboys immediately in field goal position.
Speaker 1: We just spent most of the last segment talking about
Speaker 1: how the offense was struggling. Cooper Rush wasn't making the
Speaker 1: throws how and Chap so eloquently called in and reminded
Speaker 1: everyone that they were getting away from running the ball
Speaker 1: with Rico Daldles. There were problems with the offense moving
Speaker 1: the ball, which is why they only had twenty points
Speaker 1: to begin with. So you're to tell me that you
Speaker 1: are more confident in the offense and Cooper Rush being
Speaker 1: able to drive that ball eighty seventy yards or fifty yards.
Speaker 1: But so you say, well, he can kick a sixty
Speaker 1: five yarder. Brandon Aubrey is a is an absolute monster.
Speaker 1: Has he missed a couple?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Okay, So if we're talking guarantees, none of
Speaker 1: that's guaranteed, no more guaranteed then the block, the pump
Speaker 1: block would have been. But the pump block worked. All
Speaker 1: you had to do thereafter was not touch the ball.
Speaker 1: And if you do that, you get the ball in
Speaker 1: field goal position and then you can run the ball,
Speaker 1: run the ball, run less, kick the ball with less
Speaker 1: than without giving Jamar Chase and Joe Burrow more time.
Speaker 1: So anybody who is blaming the actual block and not
Speaker 1: what happened after that, feel free to never talk ball
Speaker 1: to me again.
Speaker 2: Ever. Yeah, I don't even know where that comes from.
Speaker 1: I really don't.
Speaker 2: That makes absolutely no sense. If you're blaming the block, yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't know. Man, go with them. If you're If
Speaker 2: you're so concerned about the the scenario of a slater gift, stupid,
Speaker 2: it is done. If you're talking about Brandon Aubrey kicking
Speaker 2: a sixty five yard field goal, right, sixty five yard er.
Speaker 2: I get it. He's a great weapon for you. Whatever
Speaker 2: it may be. You go back and drive in the
Speaker 2: field goal range. If that block punt does not get
Speaker 2: touched by Ammanio Wi Warier. We're talking about that as
Speaker 2: one of the plays of the season, of the year.
Speaker 2: Nick Vigual tho the game if it wins you the
Speaker 2: game with just over a couple of minutes left. Yeah, dude,
Speaker 2: I don't know where that is. And we're praising John
Speaker 2: Fossil here today.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and as we still should, probably because it was
Speaker 4: a great call and it worked, and you put your
Speaker 4: your players in the.
Speaker 1: Best station to call, and Nick vigil deserves praise for
Speaker 1: what he did, not to be looked upon as the
Speaker 1: person to blame. Are you kidding me?
Speaker 2: I hate that that guy forced a fumble, Like I
Speaker 2: hate that. What are you talking about?
Speaker 5: Ball?
Speaker 1: I hear cricket is hiring fans go over there.
Speaker 2: They probably are when when cricket's pretty bad, we're talking
Speaker 2: about Ammonio Will Warrier and and that whole scenario. I
Speaker 2: thought Jordan Lewis put it really well yesterday. Yes it's
Speaker 2: a mistake. Yes, the ball was passed the line of scrimmage.
Speaker 2: That's a live football. It acts as a punt. Get
Speaker 2: away from it, and everybody, and like you said, everybody
Speaker 2: should have gotten away from it. We all a champ there.
Speaker 2: He brought up the point and said he was trying
Speaker 2: to pick up the ball and he was leaning forward.
Speaker 2: He was trying to recover that ball. He wasn't trying
Speaker 2: to get up and run. He was trying to recover it.
Speaker 2: That guy, in terms of Amani, he was diving for
Speaker 2: the football to recover the football. He wasn't diving on
Speaker 2: it to take it back to the house and be
Speaker 2: a hero. Was wiry. It was very much so. What
Speaker 2: leon Lett was trying to do. He thought it was
Speaker 2: a live ball as in a fumble. Didn't know the rules,
Speaker 2: which is a mistake in its own right. But I'm
Speaker 2: not going to sit here and say he was trying
Speaker 2: to play the ultimate hero and it was a selfish move.
Speaker 2: Whatever he was doing he felt like was best at
Speaker 2: the time. You just got to know the rules.
Speaker 1: Those guyn't wondering and they're saying, oh, well, the rule
Speaker 1: is stupid. Just so you understand, a block punt is
Speaker 1: still a punt.
Speaker 2: Still a punt because it leaves it's just kickers are right.
Speaker 1: The only difference is it didn't go fifty yards. It
Speaker 1: went fourteen yards. Yeah, So just like if it went
Speaker 1: fifty yards and the kicking team recovered it, it's their ball.
Speaker 1: If it's blocked and it goes fourteen yards and the
Speaker 1: kicking team return recovers it, it's their ball.
Speaker 2: Well, and if you were to, if you were to
Speaker 2: treat it as a live football way that Amani thought
Speaker 2: it would, then that just turns every blocked punt into
Speaker 2: a crapshoot, is what it would turn it into. So
Speaker 2: that's why it's the rule. You can block a punt
Speaker 2: and it still acts as a punt if it crosses
Speaker 2: a line of scrimmage. That's the key word. It has
Speaker 2: to cross hate the.
Speaker 1: Rule to love the rule. The fact is the rule
Speaker 1: is the rule, and it is the rule. I gotta
Speaker 1: especially situational football.
Speaker 2: Last call, let's go to Larry out in South Carolina. Larry,
Speaker 2: you're on talking Cowboys. What's going on?
Speaker 5: All right? I said my call It was down over
Speaker 5: the bummer last night. But my wife was telling me
Speaker 5: to be quiet because I can't take it reco for gosh. Yeah, man,
Speaker 5: my wife was quiet. You want to wait the neighbors.
Speaker 1: Good for you.
Speaker 5: Yeah, now my question it's no seed. Put your jacket on.
Speaker 5: Maybe it's ear too early in the week, but go
Speaker 5: be in Charlotte Sunday. Can we at least win that game.
Speaker 2: Appreciate the cal Larry.
Speaker 5: You'd be good science.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, find it. Find it. It's the NFL,
Speaker 1: so you can win. You can win because it's the NFL.
Speaker 1: Odds are against you, though, especially with Bryce Young getting confident,
Speaker 1: and you're also going to likely we'll see how the
Speaker 1: week goes, but you're likely going to be without Cooper
Speaker 1: b B. You're starting center on top of losing to
Speaker 1: Marvey on overshewn because Cooper BB left the game with
Speaker 1: a concussion on last night and he's moving into a
Speaker 1: short week. So if you recall what happened with Jake Ferguson,
Speaker 1: he was moving into short week and he missed not
Speaker 1: one but two games. So we'll see if Cooper BB
Speaker 1: is available. But there's another shakeup on the offensive line.
Speaker 1: The umpteenth won this season. As you saw, brock Hoffman
Speaker 1: went to center, TJ. Bass went to right guard, So
Speaker 1: that lineup, we'll see if Tyler Guidan is healthy, but
Speaker 1: there's a chance to be chill with idoga. Tyler Smith,
Speaker 1: Brock Kaufman, TJ. Bass, and Terrence steelere.
Speaker 2: Just like we all thought at the start.
Speaker 1: So the adversity continues to stack. But again, never say
Speaker 1: never in the NFL. Just ask the Browns versus the Steelers.
Speaker 1: But you're up against it as far as walking in
Speaker 1: the airline and trying to leave with a.
Speaker 2: Win, when I think a way that you win that
Speaker 2: game is those guys continue to play well. I think
Speaker 2: if you would have told me at the start of
Speaker 2: the year in training camp that by week fifteen it
Speaker 2: was going to be that starting five, I'd be like,
Speaker 2: I have zero confidence whatsoever in this offense.
Speaker 1: And it's not.
Speaker 2: Like I'm super confident anyways, but I think this offensive
Speaker 2: line has done a tremendous job of filling in the holes.
Speaker 2: You still have zero confidence, but it's not because of
Speaker 2: the offense, not because of the offensive line. There's a
Speaker 2: couple other things that are playing there and not Rico either.
Speaker 2: Rico was phenomenal you and I even I looked over
Speaker 2: at you the press box leaning back and I was like,
Speaker 2: I can just feel eyes on me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because that's what you do. So back to back
Speaker 1: one hundred yard rushing games for the first time in
Speaker 1: his career and set a new career high last night
Speaker 1: over the week prior. So Rico is is firing on
Speaker 1: all cylinders. It just got to stop getting away from him.
Speaker 1: And that's that shouts out to not only what Rico
Speaker 1: is being able to do and showing his It was
Speaker 1: a couple of times that she was a bit more patient.
Speaker 1: There's a particular play where he cut back inside, but
Speaker 1: the lane had opened wide on the right between the
Speaker 1: guard and Terrence Steele, and he just didn't wait that
Speaker 1: split second for it to developing to turn into like
Speaker 1: a three yard game versus maybe like a nine yard game.
Speaker 1: But for the most part, Rico was balling. Cowboys just
Speaker 1: got to keep handing him the ball off in Again,
Speaker 1: that's also created to the offensive line because even with
Speaker 1: the shuffling going on, guys like brock Hoffman, TJ. Bass,
Speaker 1: obviously Tyler Smith continues to play at a high level.
Speaker 1: And you know, Terrence Steele, he's playing some good football too.
Speaker 1: So that old line is doing some things.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they are definitely doing some things, and they're doing
Speaker 2: it while rotating and maneuvering and revolving door and musical chairs,
Speaker 2: all sorts of stuff, maneuvering, maneuvering, maneuvering. I like, yeah,
Speaker 2: I liked it. Last night, I said on the pregame show,
Speaker 2: I was talking about decimals, like I was emphasizing a
Speaker 2: number of one of the stats or whatever, and I
Speaker 2: was like, normally we don't use decimals, and I was,
Speaker 2: and immediately Jerry Madelon texted me it was like, it's decimals.
Speaker 2: I was like, yeah, I'm dealing with decibels with its
Speaker 2: echo on the plaza because there's like a two second delay.
Speaker 2: I was, yeah, it was just mistakes happened. I also
Speaker 2: ripped my pants all the way down last night too.
Speaker 2: What Yeah, yeah, I need to find the picture. I
Speaker 2: should have brought the pants in there. There's still in
Speaker 2: my truck, my suit pants that I wore for pregame live.
Speaker 2: As soon as I sat down in the press box.
Speaker 2: I'm talking from like belt down to the crotch area,
Speaker 2: all the way down.
Speaker 1: Even even Kyle's pants have to go on season indiing
Speaker 1: torn Ye, torn torn seems, torn seems all the way unbelievable.
Speaker 9: I had to go.
Speaker 2: I walked like I did the walk of shame, like
Speaker 2: out of the press box as sneakily as I could,
Speaker 2: went all the way down that's a good way to
Speaker 2: in talking cowboys. Went all the way down to my truck,
Speaker 2: went all the way out to the parking lot, had
Speaker 2: a pair of jeans in the truck, changed into those,
Speaker 2: and then walked to Walmart across the street. So I
Speaker 2: went from the truck to Walmart, bought a pair of
Speaker 2: the only slacks, black slacks. I was where or I
Speaker 2: could find put those on. It was funny. I didn't
Speaker 2: even have my credit card with me, it was in
Speaker 2: the press box. I had to zell the person in
Speaker 2: front of me and then check out line, and then
Speaker 2: walked back to my truck, changed into my my suit pants,
Speaker 2: walked back up to the press box, and acted like nothing.
Speaker 1: Ever happens the twenty twenty four season.
Speaker 2: Yep, that's one hundred microcosm.
Speaker 1: Of how this walking to Walmart, feeling the draft.
Speaker 2: Before I walked on walk, I felt the briskness, the
Speaker 2: little brisk in God's places. Let me just say this,
Speaker 2: get you a friend like Barry Church, because Barry was
Speaker 2: sitting right next to me whenever it happened because I
Speaker 2: sat down, we just got back in from the pregame show.
Speaker 2: Sat down. I felt it and then I looked at Barry.
Speaker 2: I was like, hey, I need you to do me
Speaker 2: a favorite. I was like, you need to tell me
Speaker 2: how bad this is, and he's like, what happened? I
Speaker 2: was like, I tore my pants. I was like, I
Speaker 2: got to see how bad it is. I'm going to
Speaker 2: stand up, but you're going to just take a look
Speaker 2: at it, and you're gonna tell me I it is.
Speaker 2: He was like, all right, I got you. I stood up.
Speaker 2: He goes, goh and sit back down. Goh and sit
Speaker 2: back down. It was bad, So good little laugh for
Speaker 2: you and for me and for everybody to end what
Speaker 2: was otherwise a sad night at at and T Stadium,
Speaker 2: twenty seven to twenty the final. We'll be back tomorrow.
Speaker 2: We're already turned to the page. Like Patrick said, it
Speaker 2: is a short week. The Carolina Panthers are coming up.
Speaker 2: We're gonna do the Cowboys defensive preview against Bryce Young Company,
Speaker 2: who are starting to pick up some steam on their
Speaker 2: offensive side of the ball. How can the Cowboys, without
Speaker 2: tomorrow being overshown, help slow things down? From Carolina. We'll
Speaker 2: talk about it tomorrow. Tommy Yarish will join the show
Speaker 2: as well for Patrick Nocy, Walker, Josh Rodriguez, Chris Beam
Speaker 2: in the back of Kyle Yeoman saying so long from
Speaker 2: Talking Cowboys. We'll see you for Wednesday. This has been
Speaker 2: a production of Dallascowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys
