But the Dallas Cowboys come 0:01:04.120 --> 0:01:07.080 out on top over the New York Jets. Thirty to 0:01:07.120 --> 0:01:11.399 ten on Sunday, Welcome into Talking Cowboys. Everybody presented by 0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:14.760 a Black Rifle Coffee Company, the official coffee. 0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:16.520 Of the Dallas Cowboys, and they had their. 0:01:16.360 --> 0:01:19.360 Black Rifle Coffee getting going for a three twenty five 0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:23.960 kick on CBS. Isaiah Stanbach, Nick Harris, Chris Beam in 0:01:24.000 --> 0:01:26.520 the back. I'm Kyle Yeomans, gentlemen. I mean it was 0:01:26.600 --> 0:01:30.560 another dominant game from Dallas. That's really all you can 0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:32.640 say it with. And they did a phenomenal job from 0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:35.559 the jump, getting out early and taking advantage of it as. 0:01:35.440 --> 0:01:36.120 The game went along. 0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:38.200 Yeah, kind of the same things that we saw last week, 0:01:38.280 --> 0:01:40.120 just a different script. You know, last week it was 0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:42.480 the defense and special teams helping to get out to 0:01:42.520 --> 0:01:44.440 the big lead. This time it was the offense. They 0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:46.280 win the coin toss, they said, give me the ball, 0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:48.160 and they drive down the field and get seven points 0:01:48.240 --> 0:01:50.200 right off the top, and then you know, from there 0:01:50.200 --> 0:01:52.600 the defense was able to settle in. Michael Parsons got 0:01:52.600 --> 0:01:56.920 another early sack, the defense with takeaways in the fourth 0:01:57.000 --> 0:01:59.480 quarter where they were just dismantling as you said, and 0:01:59.800 --> 0:02:02.520 just to help put the final statement on this game. 0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:05.280 But man, all three phases are looking so good right now. 0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:07.320 I mean we could look at, you know, the offense, 0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:09.160 I would say the red zone is a little bit 0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:10.480 of a concern. I guess we'll get to that at 0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:13.040 a point. But the offense, there's so many good things 0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:14.839 to be able to pull away from. There's so many 0:02:14.919 --> 0:02:18.200 quick game action that they're able to, you know, enable 0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:20.480 that things are looking so great with. And then on 0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:23.200 the defensive, side, I mean pointed anything, things are looking great. 0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:25.320 And then special teams Brandon Aubrey five for five on 0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:28.359 field goals and Jerry Jones we got ourselves a kicker. 0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:32.320 We do we do, so all three phases looked great yesterday. 0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:34.640 I like it. Complimentary football. We talked about it a 0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:36.880 lot yesterday on the post game show. These guys are 0:02:36.919 --> 0:02:40.160 coming out and taking care of business, right, Dyj. That 0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:42.040 was an old model I had when I was playing 0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:45.880 for other teams. But DYJ, do your job, and that's 0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:49.239 what all three fasts of the game they're doing. Whether 0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:51.399 it's Mike McCarthy call on players, whether it's dan Quinn 0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:53.680 Taine care of business, whether it's Bones Fossil making sure 0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:56.880 his guys are fully capable of delivering their portion of 0:02:56.919 --> 0:03:00.800 their contributions as well. Offense, defense, Special team. I love it. 0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:02.679 I'm sure we'll get into a lot more in depth, 0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:04.000 but this is all good stuff. 0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:06.800 I think the most impressive part to me is the 0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:08.680 fact that it has been so. 0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:12.280 I mean, just game plan to a tee in Week one. 0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:16.600 You wanted to get up early and then be conservative 0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:18.680 on offense and take care of the football. 0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:19.600 Check check check. 0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:24.160 This game it was more so a bit of a dogfight, 0:03:24.280 --> 0:03:26.000 at least in the first quarter, or at least more 0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:28.000 than it was in Week one against the Giants. It 0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:31.360 wasn't like it was really mono amano, but it was 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:33.239 at least a challenge there. I mean, it was eighteen 0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:35.760 to ten going into the halftime break, and you felt 0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:38.640 like at least the Jets had some sort of momentum 0:03:38.840 --> 0:03:41.360 that didn't carry over because time of possession took the 0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:44.040 air out of the football. Dallas led the time of 0:03:44.040 --> 0:03:46.880 possession forty two minutes in fifteen seconds. 0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:49.480 That's an unbelievable number, second most. 0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:53.080 In a non overtime game in Cowboys franchise history. The 0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:54.800 fact that they were able to control the time of 0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:57.240 possession against the team like the Jets that wanted to 0:03:57.280 --> 0:03:59.680 do the exact same thing. They beat the Jets at 0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:02.080 their own game, and they flex their muscles in doing so. 0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:04.000 And that's what's most impressive. 0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:05.840 To me, taking the best thing that the Jets do 0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:10.040 and just completely throwing it out of the realm of possibility. 0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:11.560 And they did the same thing to the Giants in 0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:11.920 Week one. 0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:14.040 Man we talked about it last week. The tandem of 0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:16.800 Breeze Hall and Dalvin Cook. Like we expected that there 0:04:16.800 --> 0:04:18.360 were going to be problems there and you just kind 0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:19.920 of had to weather the storm and force them to 0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:22.240 throw the ball. They didn't have any problems. Eight rushes 0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:25.320 for sixteen yards between the two and Zach Wilson was 0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:27.080 forced to throw the ball very early on, and then 0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:28.880 as the game went on when he was they didn't 0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:30.720 have a choice, then it got really out of hand. 0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:32.839 But man, that rush defense, and I think it starts 0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:35.360 with DeMarcus Lawrence. He was all over the place yesterday 0:04:35.400 --> 0:04:39.640 and run defense, even Micah Yeah, and even Micah got first, 0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:42.320 yeah yeah, getting in the backfield and he was throwing 0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:45.200 guys around. Jonathan Hankins was great. Even Mazzi got in 0:04:45.240 --> 0:04:47.680 there a little bit, Ohsa Togezua. I mean that whole 0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:50.560 defensive line. Man, it seems like every single person on 0:04:50.560 --> 0:04:52.600 that line is taking a step forward. And I think 0:04:52.640 --> 0:04:55.160 what's most impressive is DeMarcus Lawrence being able to do that. 0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:57.520 Because we talked about so much at camp, you know, 0:04:57.640 --> 0:04:59.560 kind of it was like there was one side of 0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:01.119 the coin that it was like, Okay, where's the Marcus 0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:03.279 Lawrence here? When we were an Oxnard. There was another 0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:05.240 side of the coin that was, like, you know, he's 0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:07.680 putting up some of the highest energy numbers that he's 0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:09.640 put out since Mike McCarthy has been here. They keep 0:05:09.640 --> 0:05:12.160 talking about him, every staff member does. And we're starting 0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:14.000 to see that manifest with the Marcus Lawrence. He looks 0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:16.920 great out there. But again, that whole defensive line that 0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:18.760 they've taken a step forward, and you can clearly see that. 0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:21.279 I love the fact that box got checked because that 0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:23.120 was the one question mark that you had on this 0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:30.120 entire team, not just that box. That's I mean, your 0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:32.920 bubble guts are gone. You know, the bubble guts are gone. 0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:36.080 They're gone, Kyle and I had them. They were there, right, 0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:37.839 it was it was a faint bubble gut, but it 0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:38.440 was still there. 0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:40.640 Right, It's still we're drinking water. You were still you're 0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:42.040 still clinching tight, you know what I mean. 0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:45.279 Like you know, so, I'm just saying like you had 0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:48.920 that feeling because you were unsure, they were unproven. Now, 0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:50.719 all of a sudden, the New York Jets come in there, 0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:53.440 and they have two dogs at running back, and they 0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:55.760 have an officeive line that's not the greatest office line, 0:05:55.800 --> 0:05:58.680 but these guys they work well together. Okay, So with 0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:00.839 that two headed monster, you had a test. You had 0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:02.440 a test in front of you, and they went out 0:06:02.480 --> 0:06:04.360 and they ate the test. I mean, these guys had 0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:08.080 sixteen rushes sixty four yards. Shut them down. That is 0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:10.080 a shutdown when you have a breest haul In, a 0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:13.479 healthy Breeze Hall, and a healthy Dalvin Cook and you 0:06:13.520 --> 0:06:16.159 shut that entire unit down and you forced them, like 0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:18.080 we talked about last week, to get out of their 0:06:18.120 --> 0:06:20.240 game plan. Once you get out of your game plan, 0:06:20.279 --> 0:06:23.960 you're playing from behind against the Dallas Cowboys. Good luck. Yeah. 0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:26.240 The only time they found success running the ball was 0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:28.479 Zach Wilson escaping the pocket from that last drive in 0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:30.120 the first half, but it was really just because of 0:06:30.240 --> 0:06:32.039 what they were trying to do defensively. You know, there 0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:35.880 was more I guess pushback from the back secondary, so 0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:37.279 he was able to kind of find some runn lanes. 0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:39.159 I think he ended up with thirty rushing yards on 0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:41.800 that drive alone, So that's half the total. You take 0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:42.599 that away, then. 0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:44.560 Off he had five for thirty six out of the 0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:45.560 sixty four. Yeah. 0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:48.559 Yeah, So I mean you take that away and that's nothing. 0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:52.360 And also the sixty four just in its numbers entirely, 0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:55.000 that would have been the third best total in terms 0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:57.640 of rushing yards allowed in the entire twenty twenty two season. 0:06:57.680 --> 0:07:00.320 The only two times that they did better in that 0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:02.800 time was the wild card game against Tampa Bay they 0:07:02.800 --> 0:07:05.880 allowed just fifty two yards rushing, and then earlier in 0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:08.719 the season thirty eight yards against the Los Angeles Rams 0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:11.080 against a really a depleted Rams team in that Week 0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:15.160 five matchup last year, So two times last year Dallas 0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:18.240 was better in terms of run defense. That they did 0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:20.000 give up one hundred and eight yards on the in 0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:21.800 the first game, but really a lot of that came 0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:25.320 in the opening drive for New York and then as 0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:27.120 the game had already gotten out of hand and things 0:07:27.160 --> 0:07:28.280 just kind of turned over. 0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:31.800 For me in the rent. Yeah, oh yeah, interesting. 0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:34.680 But that's that's the thing, is like, that was the 0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:37.480 one I don't know, that was the one knock. That 0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:40.920 was the one Achilles heel. Yep, no, no pun intended. Sorry, 0:07:40.960 --> 0:07:46.880 Aaron Rodgers. That's not don not a joke though it 0:07:46.920 --> 0:07:50.760 is a different conversation, not a joke. The the whole 0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:54.400 point of this defense was they could not stop the run. 0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:56.600 But my goodness, if you're passing, you're you're either going 0:07:56.640 --> 0:07:58.320 to get it picked off or you're getting in pressure. 0:07:58.680 --> 0:08:03.040 So there's there's parts seven. But now you don't have that. 0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:06.440 You don't have that weakness at least through the first 0:08:06.440 --> 0:08:08.760 two games through So this first two games with a 0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:10.920 healthy defense and the way that they're playing after it, 0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:13.520 they have not shown a weakness defensively. 0:08:13.640 --> 0:08:15.200 I like it. I like it a lot. 0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:18.480 I want to read a quote from U from Michael Parsons. 0:08:18.600 --> 0:08:21.800 I'm trying to find it specifically right here. Okay, here 0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:22.040 we go. 0:08:22.080 --> 0:08:23.080 He was bold in some statements. 0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:25.160 Yeah, so I asked him. I asked him in the 0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:27.280 locker room yesterday just about this rush defense and being 0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:30.160 able to limit those guys to just sixteen yards. He said, 0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:32.600 to all those teams with those game plans, run at me, 0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:35.000 run at whoever we coming. Mm hmm. 0:08:35.920 --> 0:08:36.880 So did you see them there? 0:08:37.559 --> 0:08:39.960 Did you see him quote tweeting division? 0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:41.000 Yeah? 0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:43.959 I saw m quote Johan Johan Dotson throws up two 0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:45.960 and oh and Mike had just quote tweet and said, 0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:46.480 we coming. 0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:48.720 I think there's maybe be a little bit of Penn 0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:51.520 State love there, just because you know they both went 0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:52.800 to Penn State. There might be a little bit of 0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:54.960 a friendly rivalry there, but still, I mean that's looking 0:08:54.960 --> 0:08:56.560 at it from the outside and looking at it on paper, 0:08:56.600 --> 0:08:57.439 it's hilarious. 0:08:57.760 --> 0:09:00.959 I think for the most part, this is a this 0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:03.719 is a dangerous defense. They've got all three levels to it, 0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:08.760 and I mean, which part is it just no doubt? 0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:09.680 Defensive line? 0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:11.800 Is that no doubt? Because the secondary had. 0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:14.320 Three interceptions yesterday to a lot of that down the stretch. 0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:17.320 But has the defensive line been the one that set 0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:18.199 the tone and led the way. 0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:20.400 Absolutely. It starts up front and even in the fourth 0:09:20.480 --> 0:09:22.719 quarter when they were able to get those interceptions and 0:09:23.000 --> 0:09:25.880 the dam just completely fell in. For Zach Wilson, it 0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:27.679 was because they were just applying pressure. He had to 0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:29.679 get the ball out a lot faster than he wanted to. 0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:33.240 You could look at that throw that Malie Hooker got 0:09:33.240 --> 0:09:36.160 down the sideline as a good example. He was just 0:09:36.200 --> 0:09:37.920 having to kind of throw it up and hope that 0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:39.800 I believe it was Garrett Wills could get down there 0:09:40.040 --> 0:09:42.719 and Hooker was just waiting for it. So that was 0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:45.199 an example. I mean, the Treyvon Diggs pick was an example. 0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:48.480 Jaylon Curse pick was an example. It all starts up 0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:50.640 front and Stefan Gilmore and Trayvon Diggs, they'd be the 0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:52.640 first people to tell you that too, Like they understand 0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:54.000 that the ball is coming out a lot quicker this 0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:55.679 year and it's only going to help them. 0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:59.120 And that's the other part of it, is the offense 0:09:59.200 --> 0:10:01.880 doing their job, keep the defense fresh. Defense was only 0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:03.960 on the field for seventeen minutes. Do you think they 0:10:04.000 --> 0:10:06.160 get like half a game check this week? 0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:08.240 Because was it forty one snaps? 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:10.240 I think yeah, forty one snaps? 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:13.439 Yeah. Do you know what Traybon dig said? He was like, 0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:15.160 I don't like it. It's like, do you like the 0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:17.439 time of possession battle being what it is? You know, 0:10:17.520 --> 0:10:18.760 somebody had asked him and it was all like a 0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:20.720 peppy like hype question. He's like, no, I don't like it. 0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:22.480 I want to be on the field. He was like, 0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:23.200 but it's a team win. 0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:28.160 We won, so whatever, right, I mean, if you played 0:10:28.160 --> 0:10:30.520 a full game, so let's just flip it on its head. Okay, 0:10:30.600 --> 0:10:32.800 Let's say that the Jets had eighty some eighty was 0:10:32.840 --> 0:10:36.040 eighty one plays? I think Dallas had eighty one snaps? Okay, 0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:40.000 and you had this defensive front of the Dallas Cowboys 0:10:41.120 --> 0:10:42.760 break it up. Say it's four and we're about three, 0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:45.240 I'll call it three defensive lines deep. Let's say that. Okay, 0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:48.720 we really like four. Yeah, but everybody gets everybody gets 0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:52.240 what twenty twenty plus plays? Yeah, yeah, I can. You 0:10:52.280 --> 0:10:54.880 can play twenty plays. I can give you everything I 0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:58.400 got twenty plays, no hesitation whatsoever. I'm giving you all 0:10:58.440 --> 0:11:03.719 everything I have. These guys had forty snaps total, were 0:11:03.720 --> 0:11:06.079 in the whole game if they played the entire game. 0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:09.680 So some guys who were rotating in maybe got ten snaps. 0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:13.040 Michael probably only got like twenty five snaps. Twenty five snaps. 0:11:13.040 --> 0:11:17.480 Give me five minutes like that is the that's a nightmare. 0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:22.320 That's like me watching Freddy Krueger and freaking problem child. 0:11:22.840 --> 0:11:23.360 You know what I'm saying. 0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:25.480 All at the same time, when I was a little kid, 0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:26.880 that's not what you want to face. 0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:28.160 You you are. 0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:30.640 Your only hope is that you get a stay in 0:11:30.720 --> 0:11:33.360 your game plan or b wear them down enough where 0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:36.600 they're tired. Neither neither are happening. 0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:41.560 Yeah, no, it isn't happening for defense or for opponents 0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:45.840 in general. I think it also goes back to the 0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:48.080 game plan that Mike McCarthy has set aside, and I 0:11:48.120 --> 0:11:50.959 think he deserves a bunch of credit. I think Dan 0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:52.880 quint does too. I mean, it's almost like you have 0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:54.760 two different head coaches. You have the head coach for 0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:56.880 the offense and the head coach for the defense, and 0:11:56.920 --> 0:11:58.960 both of them are doing their jobs exceptionally well. 0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:01.640 Right now. The offense had their struggles and we. 0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:03.480 Will talk about it in the second segment about the 0:12:03.480 --> 0:12:06.880 red zone and converting on drives, finishing on drives. But 0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:10.040 there's also a conservative nature to this offense of let's 0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:14.600 not do anything too outlandish, let's not do anything to 0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:16.960 turn the football over. This is the first time in 0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:20.320 franchise history the Cowboys have not had a turnover, not 0:12:20.400 --> 0:12:22.400 committed the turnover in the first two weeks. 0:12:22.480 --> 0:12:25.520 Do it, do it? Thank you, yep, But it's there. 0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:28.040 I mean, that's a stat first two games of the 0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:31.800 regular season, first time that the Cowboys have ever had 0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:35.080 two straight turnover free games to start a campaign. So 0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:38.439 they're taking care of the football, they're driving with the football. 0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:39.600 You just got to finish them drives. 0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:41.160 Yeah, they got a little bit of luck not turning 0:12:41.200 --> 0:12:43.080 the ball over. Yesterday it looked like sauce Gardner had 0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:47.280 that he would still be running right now. But nevertheless, 0:12:47.679 --> 0:12:49.600 this offense, and we've talked about it at nauseam at 0:12:49.600 --> 0:12:53.040 this point, this offense is predicated around, you know, getting 0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:57.320 things out quick, having quick reads, and when those things 0:12:57.360 --> 0:13:01.800 are manifested, it creates say football, and it puts the 0:13:01.800 --> 0:13:05.080 ball in situations where they can't where they can't have turnovers. 0:13:05.240 --> 0:13:07.680 There was a situation in the first quarter yesterday where 0:13:07.720 --> 0:13:10.240 Tony Pollard had a ball from Dak Prescott that kind 0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:12.080 of got him like right here, and there was a 0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:14.600 tackler right on top of him, and I just immediate 0:13:14.600 --> 0:13:16.120 PTSD was like, he's about to tip this up and 0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:17.760 it's about to be a pick six. But he hauled 0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:19.880 it in. It was good, It was fine, Everything was dandy. 0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:21.920 But I guess that was the only thing that I 0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:24.040 could look at yesterday aside from the sauce Gardner near 0:13:24.120 --> 0:13:26.280 pick six that I was like, Okay, that could have 0:13:26.280 --> 0:13:29.199 been trouble last year, but this time around it worked out. 0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:31.280 So maybe it's luck, maybe it's game plan. It's a 0:13:31.320 --> 0:13:33.440 little bit of both, but it's worked so far. 0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:36.120 Okay, here are the snap counts for the defense going 0:13:36.160 --> 0:13:38.680 back to that conversation we just had. There were four 0:13:38.720 --> 0:13:40.760 players that played one hundred percent of the time, Layton 0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:43.680 vander ash jy Ron Kurse, Stefan Gilmore, Travon Dicks. 0:13:43.760 --> 0:13:45.920 All of course off of that second. 0:13:45.760 --> 0:13:50.240 Level, then you've got Malie Cooker, he played forty four 0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:53.480 of the forty seven snaps. Michael Parson's played forty one 0:13:53.679 --> 0:13:57.520 of the forty seven. Then it's a significant drop off. 0:13:57.880 --> 0:14:00.440 So it went from one hundred for those four players 0:14:00.480 --> 0:14:04.080 than ninety four for Elie Cooker eighty seven for Michael Parsons. 0:14:04.080 --> 0:14:07.480 The next man up, Deron Bland, played fifty five percent 0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:12.280 of the snaps. So the outside of that, Osaiti Gizua, 0:14:12.400 --> 0:14:14.760 DeMarcus Lawrence each played fifty one percent. 0:14:14.600 --> 0:14:15.240 Of the snaps. 0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:18.960 Everyone else on defense played under fifty percent of the. 0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:20.960 Snaps, under twenty some other snaps. 0:14:21.160 --> 0:14:24.920 It's yeah, the next highest is Bland at twenty six. 0:14:25.400 --> 0:14:27.640 He was the first one in the twenties, and then 0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:29.240 it was twenty four to twenty four to twenty two 0:14:29.680 --> 0:14:30.400 and then on down. 0:14:30.480 --> 0:14:33.560 So yeah, you do moresh you do more running than 0:14:33.600 --> 0:14:37.040 that when you're just doing conditioning on your regular workout days. Yeah, 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:39.880 like just just being real, just being real, like it's 0:14:39.920 --> 0:14:42.520 easy work. That's beyond easy work. There's a thing called 0:14:42.560 --> 0:14:44.480 a one o six that coaches like to do. Right, 0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:46.160 one o six you run across the field, and you 0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:48.600 run back across the field fifty three and a half yards. Kay, 0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:51.040 one o six You got it? Okay. That is conditioning. 0:14:51.080 --> 0:14:53.520 You usually run about fifteen to eighteen of those, depending 0:14:53.520 --> 0:14:55.320 on who your coach is and how tough he wants 0:14:55.360 --> 0:14:56.960 to be there. I made you run, I mean I 0:14:57.040 --> 0:15:00.480 ran all of them, king around eighteen. Absolutely. Sometimes you 0:15:00.520 --> 0:15:02.280 gotta do itthing, you gotta do it in thirteen seconds. 0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:03.760 He did two twelves he didn't do. 0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:10.240 But you run more in conditioning then those guys ran 0:15:10.280 --> 0:15:12.840 on the field. I mean, you're talking about Michael Parsons 0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:16.080 having what he has to run. Maybe if he goes 0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:18.760 straight from his defense and position straight to the quarterback. 0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:19.800 People were talking about. 0:15:19.600 --> 0:15:23.120 Six yards gets, there might be. 0:15:23.000 --> 0:15:25.520 Five, yeah, five to six yard burst, and if the 0:15:25.600 --> 0:15:27.320 quarterback escapes and he has to run him down and 0:15:27.360 --> 0:15:29.640 force him to throw an interception to one of your 0:15:29.680 --> 0:15:33.080 defensive backs, you're running maybe twenty yards. So they put 0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:36.800 that in perspective. We're talking about conditioning is substantially more 0:15:36.840 --> 0:15:39.400 difficult than the plays that they're actually running in terms 0:15:39.440 --> 0:15:40.480 of demand on their body. 0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:43.760 The first sack that Micah had where he just shot 0:15:43.800 --> 0:15:45.880 out of a cannon. I would love to see how 0:15:45.880 --> 0:15:48.720 fast he got on that play because he was shot 0:15:48.800 --> 0:15:50.600 out of a cannon. He came out of nowhere and 0:15:50.600 --> 0:15:52.000 almost took Zach Wilson's set off. 0:15:52.200 --> 0:15:54.760 Yeah, there's no way you defend that. 0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:55.920 There's not. 0:15:55.960 --> 0:15:57.840 I mean he's getting back there in about one and 0:15:57.840 --> 0:16:01.440 a half seconds. Yeah, so can give you the I 0:16:01.480 --> 0:16:03.080 don't know if you could really zoom in. We can't 0:16:03.120 --> 0:16:06.160 zoom I'll count it. Ready, here we go three two, 0:16:06.480 --> 0:16:12.000 one boom, snap Sack said, let's do it one more time. 0:16:12.040 --> 0:16:16.360 Let's do what beamers aw those that are watching, Okay, 0:16:16.400 --> 0:16:21.080 those are listening. Here we go. Ready, snap Sack. That 0:16:21.160 --> 0:16:23.880 was a little early, said okay one point four to four. 0:16:24.720 --> 0:16:29.440 Yeah, that's it. Just too quick, that is it? I mean, 0:16:29.480 --> 0:16:30.640 how do you even process? 0:16:30.680 --> 0:16:33.080 You don't Okay, you don't, you don't, coyle. 0:16:33.360 --> 0:16:35.600 Okay, you hope you have something pre snap that you 0:16:35.600 --> 0:16:36.640 can throw as soon as the ball. 0:16:36.760 --> 0:16:40.200 You hope you have a Lamar Jackson. Yeah, you hope 0:16:40.200 --> 0:16:41.880 you have a Lamar Jackson that can just take off 0:16:41.920 --> 0:16:44.200 and go, because that's the only thing that has hurt 0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:46.800 this Cowboys defense to date in the first two games. 0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:48.400 The only thing that's hurt this Cowboys defense is a 0:16:48.480 --> 0:16:51.440 quarterbacks ability to drop back catch the Cowboys doing a 0:16:51.480 --> 0:16:54.200 stunt on the front line, they leave a little gap 0:16:54.280 --> 0:16:55.880 on the front on the front line, and then the 0:16:55.960 --> 0:16:57.600 quarterbacks are able to put their foot in the ground, 0:16:57.640 --> 0:16:59.640 take off and get what they can. That's all that's 0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:02.520 hurt this defense so far. Yeah, So if you don't 0:17:02.560 --> 0:17:06.120 have that capability, that those characteristics, those attributes as a quarterback, 0:17:06.960 --> 0:17:08.119 all right now by by then. 0:17:08.720 --> 0:17:10.040 So do you worry about Jalen Hurts. 0:17:11.119 --> 0:17:14.480 I believe that their approach will be similar to that. 0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:16.080 I mean, they're gonna they're gonna do what they did 0:17:16.240 --> 0:17:18.320 last year and they're gonna do zone read. They're gonna 0:17:18.320 --> 0:17:20.160 do that. They're gonna make the defensive end slow down. 0:17:20.160 --> 0:17:22.320 They have to. That's I mean, that's the best strategy. 0:17:22.320 --> 0:17:24.840 But every team doesn't possess that ability. That is not 0:17:24.960 --> 0:17:28.960 within the offensive scope of most teams. Right those guys 0:17:29.000 --> 0:17:30.520 are gonna do that well, that's what they do well. 0:17:30.560 --> 0:17:32.040 So you have the game plan for that, and they're 0:17:32.040 --> 0:17:34.879 not gonna see that until Philly. Yeah, the quarterbacks coming up, 0:17:34.880 --> 0:17:36.760 I mean, no disrespect to them, but they don't have 0:17:36.800 --> 0:17:38.760 the mobility that obviously Jalen Hurts has. 0:17:38.960 --> 0:17:42.000 I mean, the quarterbacks coming up, they would have that 0:17:42.040 --> 0:17:43.360 mobility if Kyler. 0:17:43.119 --> 0:17:45.879 Murray was available. But it's gonna be Joshua Dobbs. The 0:17:45.880 --> 0:17:48.240 closest thing you're gonna come to that is going to be. 0:17:48.880 --> 0:17:50.399 I mean, and again this is not even from the 0:17:50.440 --> 0:17:52.880 quarterbacks perspective, but you know week five against San Franz, 0:17:52.920 --> 0:17:55.600 because they do so much moving, they do so much pulling, 0:17:55.680 --> 0:17:58.560 so much misdirection. That's gonna be the only thing that 0:17:58.640 --> 0:18:01.320 I could see on terms of the upcoming opponents Arizona 0:18:01.320 --> 0:18:04.280 and New England that are really going to slow down 0:18:04.359 --> 0:18:05.800 these guys on terms of their rushing. 0:18:05.840 --> 0:18:09.440 And Debo's getting involved in the backfield again. So it's 0:18:09.440 --> 0:18:11.200 going to be a backfield challenge for sure. I think 0:18:11.280 --> 0:18:13.280 you're right, it'll be a similar challenge. But as far 0:18:13.280 --> 0:18:15.240 as having a mobile guy, no, you're not going to 0:18:15.280 --> 0:18:16.240 see that until Philly. 0:18:16.080 --> 0:18:18.440 Week nine when we come back. Though, I want to 0:18:18.520 --> 0:18:21.720 talk about finishing drives. How big of a concern is 0:18:21.720 --> 0:18:24.320 it that Dallas was unable to finish multiple drives. You 0:18:24.400 --> 0:18:27.440 ended up with five field goals for Brandon Aubrey. Great work, 0:18:27.640 --> 0:18:31.040 great stat great job by the rookie kicker from Plano. 0:18:31.720 --> 0:18:36.000 But it wasn't necessarily something that was welcome from that offense. 0:18:36.040 --> 0:18:38.640 How do you look at that as a problem moving 0:18:38.680 --> 0:18:41.119 forward or is it even a problem moving forward? I 0:18:41.119 --> 0:18:43.480 think that's a big debate amongst Cowboys nation right now. 0:18:43.600 --> 0:18:45.679 We'll talk about that when we come back.

Now, 0:20:48.119 --> 0:20:49.639 just a reminder that I don't need to be a 0:20:49.680 --> 0:20:52.320 real doctor to know that Doctor Pepper is the one 0:20:52.359 --> 0:20:52.920 you deserve. 0:20:55.880 --> 0:21:04.960 To the Talking Cowboys, this portion of the Talking Cowboys 0:21:05.000 --> 0:21:07.520 podcast is brought to you by Quaker Oats, a super 0:21:07.520 --> 0:21:10.480 trusted super food Quaker Oats to the official oatmeal sponsor 0:21:10.880 --> 0:21:12.920 of the Dallas Cowboys. 0:21:14.320 --> 0:21:14.960 Kyle, how. 0:21:17.880 --> 0:21:18.560 Get out of here? 0:21:20.480 --> 0:21:27.320 Corny? All right? What we I mean? We had some fun. 0:21:29.800 --> 0:21:32.440 Chair before you turn put like a face card of 0:21:32.520 --> 0:21:33.919 John here When you should do that. 0:21:34.040 --> 0:21:37.000 Actually, I know Beamer is ready for them. We got 0:21:37.000 --> 0:21:38.400 to get a cut out. We need to cut out, 0:21:38.480 --> 0:21:43.240 put them right there. That would be funny, all right. Defensively, 0:21:44.320 --> 0:21:47.119 the Cowboys at the tone. Defensively, they did everything they 0:21:47.160 --> 0:21:52.159 needed to to really enforce their will on the New 0:21:52.240 --> 0:21:53.920 York Jets control time of possession. 0:21:53.920 --> 0:21:54.640 They had four. 0:21:54.520 --> 0:21:58.000 Takeaways, most of those laid in the game, but by 0:21:58.160 --> 0:22:00.119 for the most part, it was stopping the run. It 0:22:00.200 --> 0:22:02.680 was lowing down Zach Wilson and forcing the Jets to punt. 0:22:02.680 --> 0:22:04.479 Who do you get the MVP two on defense? 0:22:05.080 --> 0:22:08.119 Oh man, Micah, Well, I mean we got to do 0:22:08.200 --> 0:22:09.520 smelly stickers out of that, right. 0:22:09.760 --> 0:22:10.760 Sorry, So we'll talk. 0:22:11.680 --> 0:22:13.520 But guess where the hell I guess where the helmet 0:22:13.600 --> 0:22:17.200 is record or coming? 0:22:17.280 --> 0:22:21.200 I'm Harrison's Yeah, I'm gonna be like Michael Parsons getting 0:22:21.240 --> 0:22:24.680 up there. Uh. I want to talk about the offense though, 0:22:24.680 --> 0:22:26.959 because there is a bit of a debate amongst Cowboys 0:22:27.080 --> 0:22:29.840 Nation twitters down right now. But other than that, there 0:22:30.119 --> 0:22:30.840 we've seen. 0:22:30.600 --> 0:22:34.160 The debate already. Was it okay to see. 0:22:33.960 --> 0:22:38.120 Conservative play calls and points every time that Dubtless got 0:22:38.119 --> 0:22:41.000 into the red zone? As opposed to finishing off drives. 0:22:41.400 --> 0:22:42.120 I'm of the. 0:22:42.000 --> 0:22:45.000 Thought process that it's okay in this scenario because it's 0:22:45.000 --> 0:22:48.120 what the game called for get some points continue to roll. 0:22:48.359 --> 0:22:50.560 My one concern is. 0:22:50.520 --> 0:22:52.760 Moving into the future when it is a part of 0:22:52.800 --> 0:22:55.400 the game and the scenario is there they stall out 0:22:55.480 --> 0:22:58.240 and they aren't able to rely on just field goal 0:22:58.280 --> 0:23:01.520 points to win tight For Nick, what did you think 0:23:01.560 --> 0:23:03.959 about the red zone efficiency for this offense and what 0:23:04.000 --> 0:23:08.040 it looked like once the field was significantly shorter, how 0:23:08.040 --> 0:23:09.680 they stalled that on multiple occasions. 0:23:09.800 --> 0:23:11.399 So I want to start with Week one, three for 0:23:11.520 --> 0:23:14.679 five on red zone opportunities in scoring touchdowns, and of 0:23:14.680 --> 0:23:17.160 those three opportunities, I believe two of them they needed 0:23:17.160 --> 0:23:20.679 a third and goal situation. Yesterday two for six scoring 0:23:20.720 --> 0:23:24.520 touchdowns once getting into the red zone, I need to 0:23:24.560 --> 0:23:25.960 go back and watch the film to figure out what 0:23:26.000 --> 0:23:28.960 exactly is the problem. But once they get in short yardage, 0:23:29.000 --> 0:23:32.240 things become a lot more difficult, and I think part 0:23:32.240 --> 0:23:34.480 of it can be attributed to the fact that you've 0:23:34.480 --> 0:23:37.199 played really good interior defensive lines back to back weeks, 0:23:38.040 --> 0:23:41.399 guys that are really good in run defense, and a 0:23:41.400 --> 0:23:44.160 second level too that when they're not backed up five 0:23:44.160 --> 0:23:46.399 to ten yards, they can really come downhill and they 0:23:46.440 --> 0:23:47.960 can put a pop on you. You know, I feel 0:23:47.960 --> 0:23:50.000 like both of the Giants and the Jets are able 0:23:50.000 --> 0:23:51.679 to do that well. So maybe there's a little bit 0:23:51.720 --> 0:23:57.359 of a I guess, healthier play against Arizona, but short 0:23:57.440 --> 0:24:01.520 yardage run haven't been completely encouraged by it just yet. 0:24:02.200 --> 0:24:03.840 You know, I love what Tony Poler was able to 0:24:03.880 --> 0:24:06.080 do on the two point conversion. Hunter Lucky really paved 0:24:06.119 --> 0:24:08.160 the way for that one and got got his nose 0:24:08.200 --> 0:24:10.200 dirty in there and said a good block. But you're 0:24:10.240 --> 0:24:12.280 not gonna have that every time, just because personnel is 0:24:12.320 --> 0:24:14.080 not gonna always call for Hunters Lucky to be in 0:24:14.080 --> 0:24:17.800 the game for those kinds of situations. The only bright 0:24:17.840 --> 0:24:20.040 side I guess you could pull away from short yarded 0:24:20.080 --> 0:24:22.320 situations up to this point is they've been able to 0:24:22.320 --> 0:24:24.240 get the tight ends involved, whether it be Jake Ferguson, 0:24:24.520 --> 0:24:26.720 Luke's schoonmaker. They even handed it off to Peyton Hendershot 0:24:26.760 --> 0:24:28.639 and he completely missed a wide open hole for a touchdown. 0:24:28.680 --> 0:24:31.600 That's besides his point, but they've been able to get 0:24:31.640 --> 0:24:34.720 the tight ends involved, and it's been on first and 0:24:34.760 --> 0:24:37.000 second reads at times the Schoonmaker touchdown that was not 0:24:37.040 --> 0:24:39.280 his first read, but the play was designed where he 0:24:39.320 --> 0:24:40.840 was able to be open and kind of leak out 0:24:40.840 --> 0:24:43.480 and give an option for Dak. So I think the 0:24:43.560 --> 0:24:45.440 pass game in short yardage or in the red zone 0:24:45.480 --> 0:24:47.879 has been has been good, but they also have utilized 0:24:47.880 --> 0:24:50.040 ced Lamb, and I feel like he's he's at his 0:24:50.119 --> 0:24:52.359 best in the red zone because he's gonna put guys 0:24:53.119 --> 0:24:55.040 in a situation where they're gonna be five yards away 0:24:55.040 --> 0:24:56.919 from him as soon as he breaks. I believe it 0:24:56.960 --> 0:24:59.960 was the pass on third down where Dak was trying 0:24:59.960 --> 0:25:01.640 to hit Jack Ferguson in the back of the end zone. 0:25:01.840 --> 0:25:04.320 Ceedee Lamb was wide open in the other corner of 0:25:04.359 --> 0:25:06.119 the end zone. It's just Digg didn't see him. So 0:25:06.920 --> 0:25:10.080 get Ceedee Lamb more involved, maybe pave the way a 0:25:10.080 --> 0:25:13.320 little bit more for running opportunities in those short yarded situations. 0:25:13.359 --> 0:25:15.680 But I guess that's the one concern I could pull 0:25:15.680 --> 0:25:17.920 away from these first two games. And granted, yes, it's 0:25:17.960 --> 0:25:21.199 seventy to ten the score at this point, but whenever 0:25:21.240 --> 0:25:24.479 you get in those those Dog five games against Philly 0:25:24.520 --> 0:25:26.520 or San Francisco and you need those points in the 0:25:26.520 --> 0:25:28.280 red zone, They're gonna be tough to come by. 0:25:29.200 --> 0:25:31.600 I think that's the biggest concern for me is against 0:25:31.640 --> 0:25:33.920 the Jets. Whenever you've had scored opponent seventy to ten, 0:25:34.200 --> 0:25:36.520 you can look at it and say it's nitpicking, and 0:25:36.600 --> 0:25:39.040 it is to a certain extent, but. 0:25:39.560 --> 0:25:41.280 It's not always going to be like that. 0:25:41.600 --> 0:25:44.880 You're going to face good defense. Is good front San 0:25:44.880 --> 0:25:47.240 Francisco in the week five is one that I've got 0:25:47.240 --> 0:25:48.000 circled right now. 0:25:47.880 --> 0:25:48.400 Because you will. 0:25:48.640 --> 0:25:51.320 I mean, New England's got a really good defense, don't 0:25:51.359 --> 0:25:53.800 get us wrong, You'll see them in two weeks. Cardinals 0:25:53.800 --> 0:25:55.879 aren't the same team that you just played back to 0:25:55.920 --> 0:25:58.320 back weeks. You should handle the Cardinals in week three. 0:25:58.880 --> 0:26:02.640 But with the New England defense looming and the San 0:26:02.640 --> 0:26:05.639 Francisco defense looming, and we know what Philly brings to 0:26:05.680 --> 0:26:08.359 the table, you're going to face good fronts like you 0:26:08.400 --> 0:26:10.600 have in weeks one and week two, but you've got 0:26:10.640 --> 0:26:12.720 to find a way to get through that and to 0:26:13.119 --> 0:26:15.480 be significantly more efficient. This is the team that was 0:26:15.560 --> 0:26:18.960 number one in red zone efficiency last year, number one, 0:26:19.600 --> 0:26:21.560 and that was one thing that Kellen Moore was really 0:26:21.600 --> 0:26:23.520 good at. And I'm not saying Mike McCarthy's bad at 0:26:23.520 --> 0:26:25.840 it by any stretch. I just think he's been very 0:26:25.880 --> 0:26:29.840 conservative and it's a little bit concerning. If it continues. 0:26:29.920 --> 0:26:32.360 Right now, it's fine, but it's one of those things 0:26:32.359 --> 0:26:33.440 where it's not Kyle. 0:26:33.720 --> 0:26:34.560 It's not fine. 0:26:34.640 --> 0:26:35.200 It is fine. 0:26:35.240 --> 0:26:36.119 No, it's not Kyle. 0:26:36.160 --> 0:26:38.680 They are two and zero, they've won the game significantly. 0:26:38.840 --> 0:26:42.000 No, the overarching goal, yes, is fine. However, as an 0:26:42.040 --> 0:26:45.520 offensive coach, you want one hundred percent you get to 0:26:45.560 --> 0:26:47.119 the red zone. That is his goal. His goal is 0:26:47.160 --> 0:26:48.919 to be one hundred percent. We get down there, we 0:26:48.960 --> 0:26:52.160 score touchdowns. They hate kicking field goals. They'll take field goals, 0:26:52.200 --> 0:26:54.159 but they hate taking them up. They being the effect 0:26:54.160 --> 0:26:57.200 that their goal is to go ahead and score touchdowns. 0:26:57.440 --> 0:27:00.439 So from the coaches perspective, they are not satisfied with 0:27:00.520 --> 0:27:03.359 two out of six, not even remotely. Even if they 0:27:03.480 --> 0:27:05.639 had one more k percentage wise, fifty percent in the 0:27:05.640 --> 0:27:08.320 red zone's pretty dog gone good. Okay, that's not going 0:27:08.359 --> 0:27:11.320 to be acceptable for this staff either. So yes, it 0:27:11.320 --> 0:27:15.720 would get by these lower tier teams, these less competitive teams, 0:27:15.960 --> 0:27:19.280 but it's never going to be okay in the coach's eyes. 0:27:19.680 --> 0:27:23.480 So whether coach McCarthy has been quote unquote successful in 0:27:23.520 --> 0:27:26.240 that regard to date or not, He's going to be 0:27:26.280 --> 0:27:28.160 finding ways to make sure this ball finds his way 0:27:28.160 --> 0:27:30.359 to the end zone every single time they get down there. 0:27:30.400 --> 0:27:33.120 I'll tell you this, this team has become a lot 0:27:33.119 --> 0:27:36.680 better when looking at just perspective down the road. They're 0:27:36.680 --> 0:27:39.639 planning for January and February more so this year than 0:27:39.640 --> 0:27:41.960 I feel like they have in recent years. And if 0:27:41.960 --> 0:27:44.040 you look at going five for eleven in the red 0:27:44.080 --> 0:27:46.879 zone with touchdowns, if you go five for eleven over 0:27:46.920 --> 0:27:49.160 the course of two weeks in the playoffs, you probably 0:27:49.160 --> 0:27:51.480 don't win one of those games. That's a fact. And 0:27:51.720 --> 0:27:54.240 again we're nitpicking. It's only the first two weeks. But 0:27:55.320 --> 0:27:58.720 I just want to see a little bit more success there. 0:27:59.000 --> 0:28:01.120 I want the short yardage running to be figured out. 0:28:01.160 --> 0:28:02.680 I want to get more guys involved in the past 0:28:02.680 --> 0:28:03.480 game inside the twenty. 0:28:03.640 --> 0:28:05.240 What did you think about the tight ends and the 0:28:05.240 --> 0:28:09.000 way that they fared outside of just the red zone 0:28:09.040 --> 0:28:11.680 and the touches that they had there, because that talked 0:28:11.720 --> 0:28:14.120 about it in the week confidence boost for the tight 0:28:14.200 --> 0:28:17.159 ends who had multiple drops in Week one, and that 0:28:17.280 --> 0:28:19.440 was the one position that I think Cowboys Nation was 0:28:19.480 --> 0:28:21.480 looking at and saying, Ah, we probably need a little 0:28:21.480 --> 0:28:23.159 bit more from you at some point. What did you 0:28:23.160 --> 0:28:24.280 feel like they played. 0:28:24.000 --> 0:28:24.680 Like in that game? 0:28:24.760 --> 0:28:27.160 And I mean the two touchdown grabs were nice, but 0:28:27.440 --> 0:28:29.520 that was really about all they had from a production. 0:28:29.720 --> 0:28:32.040 Yeah, I did expect a lot more production from Jake Ferguson, 0:28:32.080 --> 0:28:34.159 but I think it was just kind of taking what 0:28:34.240 --> 0:28:36.040 was given to them, and what was given to them 0:28:36.119 --> 0:28:37.679 was a great game from CD Lambs. 0:28:37.680 --> 0:28:38.160 So that's true. 0:28:38.360 --> 0:28:40.120 When you have wide receiver one that's able to get 0:28:40.120 --> 0:28:42.080 open like that, man, it's you know, I'm not going 0:28:42.120 --> 0:28:44.000 to nitpick that by any means because I feel like 0:28:44.960 --> 0:28:47.280 whether it was blocking or just getting open or setting 0:28:47.320 --> 0:28:49.600 guys up, the tight ends did fine. I'm not worried 0:28:49.600 --> 0:28:52.680 about how they played yesterday from a production standpoint, Yeah, 0:28:52.760 --> 0:28:54.640 maybe expected a little bit more, but I'm not worried 0:28:54.680 --> 0:28:56.480 about it after that one. I would have been worried 0:28:56.480 --> 0:28:57.640 about it after week one. 0:28:57.880 --> 0:29:00.400 Do you think not having Brandon Cooks, even just as 0:29:00.400 --> 0:29:03.040 a pass catching threat, affects. 0:29:02.560 --> 0:29:05.640 How the tight ends are utilized? Or is that mostly just. 0:29:06.560 --> 0:29:11.960 What is what has come from a pass distribution standpoint, 0:29:12.240 --> 0:29:14.680 getting everybody. I mean not having Brandon Cooks is always 0:29:14.680 --> 0:29:17.040 gonna affect you in some regard. But it's the next 0:29:17.040 --> 0:29:20.600 man up, you know, mentality, And the reality is coach 0:29:20.680 --> 0:29:23.920 mccarthurs and Dak they're both doing a great job and 0:29:24.040 --> 0:29:27.920 shoddy of distributing the ball. And when you can distribute 0:29:27.960 --> 0:29:32.120 the ball to everyone, Now, as a deep, as a coordinator, 0:29:32.160 --> 0:29:32.600 who do you have. 0:29:32.520 --> 0:29:36.760 To worry about everyone? Right when you realize that everybody 0:29:36.800 --> 0:29:39.040 can hurt you right now? I ever seen and obviously 0:29:39.120 --> 0:29:41.160 see He's gonna get his his share. He's gonna get 0:29:41.200 --> 0:29:44.000 far more than other people. That's that's a given. That's 0:29:44.040 --> 0:29:45.560 always going to be the goal. Get your number one 0:29:45.600 --> 0:29:48.880 play maker the ball in his hands. However, every single 0:29:48.920 --> 0:29:51.560 person on this roster has touched the ball. When you 0:29:51.600 --> 0:29:53.720 think about guys that are going out there are expected 0:29:53.760 --> 0:29:56.600 to catch the ball, all the tight ends, all the 0:29:56.680 --> 0:30:00.920 running backs, Lipkey's involved, I say he's an invold because he' blocking. Okay, 0:30:01.000 --> 0:30:03.520 so all the running backs that touched the ball, Okay, 0:30:03.640 --> 0:30:07.720 all the receivers that except for Brooks. Brooks got out there, 0:30:07.760 --> 0:30:09.720 and it was at least at least. 0:30:09.480 --> 0:30:11.240 Some forlock Edge. 0:30:11.320 --> 0:30:14.280 Yeah, So I'm just saying, like everybody's involved, like they're 0:30:14.320 --> 0:30:17.600 not this This is not a team offensively that just 0:30:17.600 --> 0:30:19.840 has guys on a roster just for just in case 0:30:20.360 --> 0:30:22.680 he's putting everyone out there. If you're on this roster, 0:30:22.720 --> 0:30:25.000 you're gonna make it. And you're on the game day roster, 0:30:25.320 --> 0:30:27.800 you're gonna make a contribution. There was times in my 0:30:27.920 --> 0:30:30.040 in my career, a lot of times where if you're 0:30:30.080 --> 0:30:32.040 on the team like you were just there sometimes you know, 0:30:32.160 --> 0:30:33.840 depending on who you were, like you might not touch 0:30:33.880 --> 0:30:35.720 the field even if you were on the game day roster. Yeah, 0:30:35.760 --> 0:30:39.320 even if he were active, even not here, not here, 0:30:39.640 --> 0:30:42.040 like you better be in the game plan because you're 0:30:42.040 --> 0:30:44.000 playing on offense and not just you're not just here 0:30:44.000 --> 0:30:46.280 to be a special teamers and a number six receiver. 0:30:46.600 --> 0:30:48.720 You're not here just to be the fourth running back 0:30:49.040 --> 0:30:51.160 and you know, be a personal protector or whatever it 0:30:51.200 --> 0:30:53.600 might be on special teams. Like you're gonna play and 0:30:53.640 --> 0:30:54.840 you may be ready to contribute. 0:30:55.000 --> 0:30:56.280 You brought him up, so I have to say it. 0:30:56.320 --> 0:30:58.440 The Hunter Lokey play of the day was the block 0:30:58.640 --> 0:31:00.920 that he laid in front of a Rico Dawdell off 0:31:00.960 --> 0:31:03.320 of He got it out in the flat and Rico 0:31:03.360 --> 0:31:05.360 picked up about fifteen twenty yards. So every Monday, I 0:31:05.360 --> 0:31:07.280 think I'm gonna have a segment one hundred lucky play 0:31:07.320 --> 0:31:07.680 of the day. 0:31:07.760 --> 0:31:10.640 That was it. You You brought them up in the 0:31:10.720 --> 0:31:13.240 first segment too. Don't think of it. Yeah, you spring. 0:31:14.240 --> 0:31:16.040 I don't even remember. Man, it's like second nature. 0:31:16.080 --> 0:31:19.400 I was about to say, it's just a voluntary, involuntary reaction. 0:31:20.040 --> 0:31:22.920 Nine players with a reception. Ceedee Lamb had eleven for 0:31:22.960 --> 0:31:26.600 one three. Again, Ceedee Lamb is is just on another level. 0:31:26.840 --> 0:31:30.560 Tony Pollard had seven receptions for thirty seven yards. Jalen 0:31:30.640 --> 0:31:34.200 Tolbert had three catches. Dawdell had a catch. Deuce Vaughan 0:31:34.280 --> 0:31:38.120 had three catches. Ferguson had three catches. Turpin, Gallop and 0:31:38.160 --> 0:31:39.440 Scoon Maker all had one. 0:31:39.880 --> 0:31:44.120 Everybody, yep, everybod wives hide kids, we hit everybody. 0:31:43.720 --> 0:31:47.840 Getting Six different players had a rushing at ten. Tony 0:31:47.880 --> 0:31:50.600 Pollard said a career high with twenty five carries a lot. 0:31:50.680 --> 0:31:51.400 Did you like that? 0:31:51.960 --> 0:31:55.000 I do like that? Actually, okay, I mean especially when 0:31:55.000 --> 0:31:57.280 you think about the fact they had over eighty eighty snaps. 0:31:57.840 --> 0:32:00.520 So I'll take twenty five from them from Tony Poller is. 0:32:00.480 --> 0:32:03.080 The most touches a Cowboys running back got since twenty 0:32:03.160 --> 0:32:07.920 nineteen against the Jets Ezekiel Elliott. Interesting funnel nugget there. 0:32:08.120 --> 0:32:10.840 Yeah, do you think he handled the workload? Well, he 0:32:10.880 --> 0:32:13.800 didn't necessarily light up the stat sheet. He didn't hit 0:32:13.800 --> 0:32:15.760 the home run ball either like he normally would. 0:32:15.840 --> 0:32:17.320 Yeah, he had a couple that he squeaked through and 0:32:18.000 --> 0:32:21.120 you know, got off for about fifteen yards but less 0:32:21.120 --> 0:32:22.440 than three yards of carry. I'd like to see a 0:32:22.440 --> 0:32:25.200 little bit more efficiency there, but that goes back to 0:32:25.480 --> 0:32:28.080 short yardage stuff as well. Just being set up in 0:32:28.080 --> 0:32:29.480 those situations a little bit better too. 0:32:29.680 --> 0:32:30.960 What do you think about the offensive line? 0:32:31.040 --> 0:32:34.560 Isaiah chumdoga out in the early parts of the game. 0:32:34.600 --> 0:32:34.880 TJ. 0:32:34.960 --> 0:32:36.720 Bass had to come in and play a significant number 0:32:36.760 --> 0:32:37.280 of snaps. 0:32:37.600 --> 0:32:40.240 I just think that these guys are regardless of the position, 0:32:40.280 --> 0:32:43.080 but obviously office of line position, next man up is 0:32:44.000 --> 0:32:47.479 being proven right, Todder Smith goes out, Chumadoga comes in, 0:32:47.600 --> 0:32:50.000 takes care of business right, holds his own against a 0:32:50.080 --> 0:32:52.560 very tough interior Devenson line. Last week with the Giants, 0:32:52.760 --> 0:32:54.920 all of a sudden he goes down. Now TJ. Bass 0:32:54.960 --> 0:32:57.360 comes in handles himself. Well, you know, I think he 0:32:57.400 --> 0:33:00.320 could have done matter, But obviously he's young, right handles 0:33:00.360 --> 0:33:03.960 himself against another very dominant interior defensive line presence. So 0:33:04.520 --> 0:33:07.040 you know, shout out to you know, Mike Salari and 0:33:07.080 --> 0:33:09.640 what he's done with this group so far. You know, 0:33:09.840 --> 0:33:13.840 it doesn't you should. You should yearn for the bit 0:33:13.880 --> 0:33:15.560 to be in a position where it doesn't matter who 0:33:15.560 --> 0:33:17.720 comes into the game, you're still gonna be able to execute. 0:33:17.760 --> 0:33:20.480 And that's where this offense is right now, especially across 0:33:20.520 --> 0:33:24.360 the offensive line front. Dallas Cowboys fans don't know what 0:33:24.400 --> 0:33:27.120 it feels like right now to have their starting offensive 0:33:27.120 --> 0:33:30.080 line out there and you're still put up seventy points 0:33:30.120 --> 0:33:31.440 in the first two weeks. 0:33:31.960 --> 0:33:35.080 I love what you may Doga did overall. And even 0:33:35.080 --> 0:33:37.400 when TJ. Bask got in, he had his moments, but man, 0:33:37.440 --> 0:33:40.080 I think it was his third snap Quinn Williams said, 0:33:40.080 --> 0:33:41.240 welcome to the NFL, buddy. 0:33:42.080 --> 0:33:45.320 Well, he laid his seal block to play before that. 0:33:45.680 --> 0:33:47.600 It was it was for a first down. Came and 0:33:47.600 --> 0:33:50.920 pulled and just boom, laid the edge. I forgot who 0:33:51.000 --> 0:33:53.320 the tailback was, it was either Pollard or Dubdle snuck 0:33:53.400 --> 0:33:55.240 right in behind him and then had a first down. 0:33:55.280 --> 0:33:55.840 It was deuce. 0:33:56.600 --> 0:33:58.280 No, No, I think it was not. I think it 0:33:58.280 --> 0:34:00.000 was doubtle. Okay, okay, I want to say it was 0:34:00.080 --> 0:34:00.960 doubt I can. 0:34:00.840 --> 0:34:02.800 Go look at the play specifically and give you, give 0:34:02.800 --> 0:34:03.560 you a confirmation. 0:34:03.960 --> 0:34:08.680 But he turns around and then the next play he. 0:34:08.440 --> 0:34:10.600 Gets thrown into the backfield, and it was like, okay, 0:34:10.840 --> 0:34:13.560 like the ups and downs, here comes the roller coaster 0:34:13.600 --> 0:34:16.400 of a rookie, undrafted free agent. I liked what Bass 0:34:16.440 --> 0:34:18.800 had to play or had to do when he played. 0:34:19.080 --> 0:34:21.160 Adoga played forty five snaps. 0:34:21.520 --> 0:34:21.759 TJ. 0:34:21.880 --> 0:34:24.080 Bass had forty two, so he got a significant amount 0:34:24.080 --> 0:34:26.319 of work. I mean when Adoga went down, I. 0:34:26.320 --> 0:34:27.359 Didn't realize he played that much. 0:34:27.400 --> 0:34:27.719 He played. 0:34:27.719 --> 0:34:29.000 I knew he played quite a bit, but I didn't 0:34:29.000 --> 0:34:29.480 realized it was. 0:34:29.440 --> 0:34:32.239 Nearly half the nearly half the offensive snaps, of course, 0:34:32.239 --> 0:34:34.760 and we've talked about it already. They took eighty plays 0:34:34.760 --> 0:34:36.840 on offense, so there's a lot of snaps. 0:34:36.880 --> 0:34:39.439 Saying yeah, it's a lot of snaps, all right. 0:34:39.800 --> 0:34:43.640 When we come back here on talking Cowboys, give us 0:34:43.640 --> 0:34:47.520 a text eight one seven two nine zero three two 0:34:47.760 --> 0:34:50.440 nine eight Who does your scratch and sniffs Melly sticker 0:34:50.520 --> 0:34:54.000 go to this week?

It's a banana. 0:39:14.800 --> 0:39:16.720 You know why I grabbed a banana. It's not a plantain, 0:39:16.840 --> 0:39:19.279 not a plantain, bud. It is a banana. You know why? 0:39:19.360 --> 0:39:19.919 Why is that? 0:39:20.080 --> 0:39:28.840 Because mister d Law is going bananas. M He's going bananas. 0:39:28.840 --> 0:39:30.000 He is setting the temple. I know a lot of 0:39:30.000 --> 0:39:31.759 people are saying that Michael Parsons is sitting the temple 0:39:31.840 --> 0:39:35.280 right now, but d Law is quietly setting the temple 0:39:35.320 --> 0:39:38.680 for this defense and everybody else is benefiting from it, 0:39:38.880 --> 0:39:42.800 including Michael Parsons. So d Law, you going bananas. 0:39:43.200 --> 0:39:45.319 You know it's funny. I walked in this morning and 0:39:45.440 --> 0:39:47.399 he was the first person he was. He's already done 0:39:47.400 --> 0:39:50.600 with his workout. He walked out of the building and 0:39:50.719 --> 0:39:52.839 he had his breakfast in his hand and on top 0:39:52.880 --> 0:39:54.719 of this to go box.

And you know what this bright green 0:40:14.360 --> 0:40:16.879 represents for me. It's a green light for this past 0:40:16.960 --> 0:40:20.719 rush to do whatever the heck they So, I'm gonna 0:40:20.760 --> 0:40:25.040 give it to Parson's Bangs, who is definitely the leader 0:40:25.080 --> 0:40:26.280 of that past rush group yesterday. 0:40:26.360 --> 0:40:30.279 It's a green light, a green light. 0:40:30.480 --> 0:40:32.600 I love it. Let me see the location. Let me 0:40:32.800 --> 0:40:33.520 check out the location. 0:40:33.640 --> 0:40:35.120 Yeah, you put it right there, right on the front. 0:40:35.680 --> 0:40:38.640 Yeah, it looks right, green light just to everybody sees it. 0:40:38.680 --> 0:40:39.319 Green light bang. 0:40:40.000 --> 0:40:46.200 All right, I'm gonna go with an apple. This apple 0:40:46.280 --> 0:40:47.440 right here, I'll see that. 0:40:48.000 --> 0:40:51.960 It looks nice, right, big shiny red apple, snow white apple. 0:40:52.000 --> 0:40:53.879 It does look like a snow white apple a little bit. 0:40:54.120 --> 0:40:56.760 But here's the thing with this apple. 0:40:57.360 --> 0:40:58.680 What do you what? 0:40:58.680 --> 0:41:03.440 What a teachers known for right teach knowledge, knowledge, passing 0:41:03.440 --> 0:41:07.320 that knowledge on what happens whenever a student and really 0:41:07.360 --> 0:41:10.759 the students to collectively as a group, what do they 0:41:10.760 --> 0:41:11.920 do whenever they like a teacher? 0:41:11.920 --> 0:41:13.000 They give them an apple? Right. 0:41:13.320 --> 0:41:16.640 The old adage of teacher and an apple at the desk, right, correct, Well, 0:41:16.680 --> 0:41:20.759 that teacher's Mike McCarthy, and Mike McCarthy's been teaching this 0:41:20.920 --> 0:41:24.840 Cowboys offense how to execute a game plan. It's not 0:41:24.880 --> 0:41:29.319 always perfect. Neither are students. It's not always perfect, but 0:41:29.400 --> 0:41:32.000 they're teaching and they're learning, and there's lots of learning 0:41:32.040 --> 0:41:33.800 going on with that Cowboys offense. So I'm going to 0:41:33.840 --> 0:41:36.400 give this one to Mike McCarthy this week. Mike McCarthy 0:41:36.440 --> 0:41:39.640 are sticker. We've got a ton of votes. I might 0:41:39.719 --> 0:41:41.600 have to spend like an hour going through it. You 0:41:41.600 --> 0:41:43.879 can send your votes in eight one seven two nine 0:41:44.000 --> 0:41:46.480 zero three two nine eight. We'll get John Machoda's smelly 0:41:46.480 --> 0:41:48.200 sticker tomorrow. I might as well just leave this in 0:41:48.239 --> 0:41:49.640 here so I don't have to run up again. 0:41:50.160 --> 0:41:52.360 But even though you did set a record today, I did. 0:41:52.200 --> 0:41:57.759 Set a record, Yeah, quicker than Michael Parsons. 0:41:57.760 --> 0:41:59.320 Oh is that a challenge? 0:41:59.400 --> 0:42:00.080 No? 0:42:00.000 --> 0:42:03.640 No, it's no, no, no, no, no, no, not at 0:42:03.640 --> 0:42:07.359 all all. Right, from week one going into week two, 0:42:08.920 --> 0:42:11.200 where was the biggest level of improvement? I asked you 0:42:11.239 --> 0:42:13.480 that question last week of what do you want to 0:42:13.520 --> 0:42:15.840 see as an improvement for this Cowboys team. Where do 0:42:15.920 --> 0:42:18.400 you think they did improve from their first game to 0:42:18.440 --> 0:42:19.080 their second game? 0:42:19.120 --> 0:42:22.640 I say offensive efficiency, That's what I would say. I 0:42:22.640 --> 0:42:27.080 think they were highly efficient in their execution of their offense. 0:42:27.160 --> 0:42:29.759 I think there's obviously there's still a lot that he 0:42:29.800 --> 0:42:32.760 has in a bag, which I love because in recent 0:42:32.840 --> 0:42:35.120 years we've become accustomed to a lot of things being 0:42:35.160 --> 0:42:38.040 thrown out there and being wild and ooh la lat 0:42:38.160 --> 0:42:40.279 in the first couple of weeks, but Mike McCarthy has 0:42:40.360 --> 0:42:44.279 kept probably majority of his supplies in the bag, and 0:42:44.320 --> 0:42:46.080 I love that. But I mean, you talk about the 0:42:46.120 --> 0:42:50.000 efficiency rating of DAK you know, going eighty one percent passing, 0:42:50.600 --> 0:42:52.960 I mean talk about getting out of the huddle, guys 0:42:53.000 --> 0:42:54.960 getting up to the line of scrimmage knowing what they're doing, 0:42:55.360 --> 0:42:58.440 getting eighty plays off That is insane. That is college 0:42:58.560 --> 0:43:01.560 football type snaps. When you talk about no huddle type office, 0:43:01.560 --> 0:43:03.799 and these guys are actually getting into the huddle or 0:43:04.120 --> 0:43:07.440 that of the Dallas Cowboy So this is this is 0:43:07.480 --> 0:43:10.839 a highly efficient offense right now, and I'm loving it. 0:43:12.520 --> 0:43:15.279 I'm with that. I think third down efficiency was something 0:43:15.280 --> 0:43:18.480 that was especially awesome to see in the first two 0:43:18.600 --> 0:43:21.560 plus quarters until things just kind of got out of 0:43:21.560 --> 0:43:23.400 hand and then third down efficiency kind of stepped back 0:43:23.400 --> 0:43:26.040 a little bit. But seven for ten that's what they 0:43:26.080 --> 0:43:29.560 started for third down efficiency with during the game yesterday, 0:43:29.800 --> 0:43:31.640 and I believe in week one they went six for 0:43:31.760 --> 0:43:35.160 thirteen overall on third down. So that and then getting 0:43:35.160 --> 0:43:38.080 more guys involved. Nine guys with the reception yesterday six 0:43:38.120 --> 0:43:40.680 and week one, So just getting your playmakers involved, and 0:43:40.760 --> 0:43:42.759 especially Brandon Cooks not in the equation either. It would 0:43:42.800 --> 0:43:44.520 have easily been ten guys with a reception if he 0:43:44.680 --> 0:43:48.319 was on the field. So yeah, getting everybody involved and 0:43:48.480 --> 0:43:51.840 slowly increasing everything across the board, whether it be Dak's 0:43:51.880 --> 0:43:54.960 completion percentage, third down efficiency, et cetera. You know, you 0:43:55.040 --> 0:43:56.000 love to see those things. 0:43:56.200 --> 0:43:59.920 Yeah, I think the efficiency was the number one. 0:44:00.400 --> 0:44:02.360 I still keep going back to that turno or the 0:44:02.400 --> 0:44:05.160 time of possession stat. I think time of possession stat 0:44:05.200 --> 0:44:08.240 is nuts. To control the ball for forty two minutes, 0:44:08.239 --> 0:44:10.040 that's pure dominance. I mean, that's the way that you 0:44:10.320 --> 0:44:12.799 want to get the job done. I think there's there's 0:44:12.800 --> 0:44:15.480 still ways that this offense can improve, especially in finishing 0:44:15.480 --> 0:44:17.640 and drives, and we'll talk about that. I think going 0:44:17.640 --> 0:44:19.600 into the week and against Arizona, that's going to be 0:44:19.640 --> 0:44:22.400 a great opportunity to do so because they just don't 0:44:22.440 --> 0:44:24.400 have the same front seven that the Giants and the 0:44:24.440 --> 0:44:27.960 Jets do. But you're also just trying to make sure 0:44:28.000 --> 0:44:30.480 you keep that moment I'm going on offense and still 0:44:30.480 --> 0:44:33.160 moving the ball. They've been able to move the ball nicely. 0:44:33.320 --> 0:44:36.239 They've moved the ball significantly, but you got to find 0:44:36.239 --> 0:44:38.399 a way to finish drives. That's kind of the one thing, 0:44:39.239 --> 0:44:41.120 the one knock against this team right now is you 0:44:41.200 --> 0:44:44.600 got to finish all right. When we come back tomorrow, 0:44:44.760 --> 0:44:47.080 we will be taking your calls eight eight eight eight 0:44:47.160 --> 0:44:51.400 five five two two nine seven. We will start lining 0:44:51.400 --> 0:44:54.600 those up very early. You can also call Nick Eatman's 0:44:54.800 --> 0:44:58.080 Cowboys storyline. By the way, congratulations to Nick Eatman. Five 0:44:58.200 --> 0:45:02.319 hundred Same covers, Big five Oho, five hundred games covered. 0:45:02.520 --> 0:45:04.360 He hit that five hundred mark yesterday. We got to 0:45:04.360 --> 0:45:06.600 talk about it a little on Pregame Live and it 0:45:06.680 --> 0:45:08.440 was a it was a cool moment to get to 0:45:08.480 --> 0:45:11.560 celebrate for Nick. And he does a phenomenal job on 0:45:11.640 --> 0:45:13.520 his new podcast. We give him a call eight eight 0:45:13.520 --> 0:45:15.600 eight eight five five two two nine seven.
