And I said, on Friday, gentlemen, 0:00:59.000 --> 0:01:02.160 that win the Dallas Cowboys hit forty points for the 0:01:02.200 --> 0:01:05.240 first time this season. I would treat the whole crew 0:01:05.400 --> 0:01:08.959 to water Burger. Well, water Burger has elected to treat 0:01:09.160 --> 0:01:14.000 us instead. How about that.

Nice? How about this? Turn this around? 0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:33.520 How about this? Riddy got the presentation and everything Brian 0:01:33.560 --> 0:01:39.080 brought us Brian's sitting over here yet I just wanted 0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:41.640 the regular ones. There you go. There, there's Brian brought 0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:44.960 us making it, making an appearance as well. We've got 0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:48.680 the dry stuff for Patrick because Patrick doesn't like ketchup. 0:01:48.760 --> 0:01:52.160 We don't do the ketchup. Man, that's unfortunate. No, do 0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:57.120 we have the great grays in there. Look at the accommodations. Brett, 0:01:57.120 --> 0:01:58.320 you want to hop on the you want to hop 0:01:58.360 --> 0:01:59.760 on the mine. You want to talk for another forty 0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:06.360 five minutes about the Cowboys win a game like that? Yea? No, excited? Uh, 0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:09.480 actually pulls some things together and man, it's fun to 0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:11.440 win on. Yeah, you gotta talk into the mic a 0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:14.720 little bit, but that's okay. You're you're you're fun. No, 0:02:14.919 --> 0:02:17.959 I think. I think overall it was a huge win 0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:22.640 for not only the the offense getting back into it um, 0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:26.960 but really exciting from a team perspective to see um 0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:30.000 both sides of the ball um kind of excel on 0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:31.720 in different parts. So I know you guys are gonna 0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:34.040 talk more about it. Oh yeah, very excited. Definitely going 0:02:34.080 --> 0:02:36.840 to Brett Jeffers here on talking Cowboys doing us a 0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:40.360 great job as always upstairs, and he did he did. 0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:44.880 He never hesitates, He never hesitates to treat us, and 0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:48.760 the Dallas Cowboys treated us as well. Uh. With forty 0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:52.560 nine points on the board, I mean, it's hard to 0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:54.840 say that this was the most complete win for the Cowboys, 0:02:54.840 --> 0:02:57.079 but it was the best offensive performance for the Cowboys, 0:02:57.080 --> 0:02:59.359 and that you could definitely say, I agree. I mean, 0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:02.200 forty two points from the offense. Uh, you know, Michael 0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:04.640 got in there with it with his first NFL touchdown 0:03:04.919 --> 0:03:06.720 on the scoop and score to take it to forty 0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:11.160 nine overall. But Dak Prescott and the offense did exactly 0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:13.320 what we needed them to do. Isaiah, we talked about 0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:15.040 it going into the game. They had to get off 0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:18.120 to a fast start fourteen and oh, doesn't get much 0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:20.880 faster than that, and they kind of went on from there, 0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:23.720 and you know, unfortunately, there were some calls that went 0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:26.560 in the favor of the Bears that kind of stole 0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:30.239 the momentum. But Cowboys, as has typically been the case 0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:33.560 this season, they you know, whether the adversity kept their 0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:36.080 head up and kept pushing in the pedal got pushed 0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:38.320 back to the floor, and yeah, ended up being more 0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:40.360 or less a route. I mean, forty nine twenty nine. 0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:44.640 But the twenty point differential for the Cowboys. I mean, 0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:47.280 the final score doesn't actually tell you how badly the 0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:49.880 Bears got beat yesterday. It really great point really doesn't 0:03:50.120 --> 0:04:00.760 pop op out. You were the man, You get the commendations, 0:04:00.800 --> 0:04:05.360 though the accommodations, well, you don't eat meat, and then 0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:09.200 Patrick doesn't eat catch up eating literally anything. So I 0:04:09.240 --> 0:04:17.000 mean this is pretty much right on this. Yeah, I like, 0:04:17.240 --> 0:04:18.839 I'm great, Well, thank you very much. What a burger, 0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:21.040 and thank you very much Dallas Cowboys for getting some 0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:25.599 points on the freaking board. So excited you've been calling 0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:27.320 for it. I've been calling for you know, I saw 0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:29.280 killing more in them and in the hallways, and it 0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:31.039 was good to see them with a smile on their face. 0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:32.960 You know, you could tell that they're they're happy to 0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:35.560 have gotten that monkey off their back. You know, they 0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:37.520 got the ground game going. He got to get to 0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:39.280 the passing game, which we know he loves to do. 0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:41.640 And there's a there's a lot of success offensively, and 0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:45.120 obviously you know the defense played their part too. It 0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:47.840 was just a great collective win again to the ponent 0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:49.880 that you should beat up on. But regardless of the 0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:52.200 fact you got almost fifty dogs on points. I don't 0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:54.920 care who you're playing against in the NFL, this is 0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:57.320 the highest league that you can compete at, and forty 0:04:57.440 --> 0:05:00.280 nine points is impress them nonetheless because you you did 0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:02.479 it early too. That was the thing. You scored a 0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:05.320 touchdown on your first four drives of the ball game. 0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:08.000 That was what was most impressive to me, because not 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:11.599 only had the Cowboys struggled to put points on the 0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:14.000 board period, I mean I put out a tweet that 0:05:14.279 --> 0:05:17.120 they hadn't scored three touchdowns in a game since last 0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:20.080 week against the Detroit Lions. They scored three touchdowns on 0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:21.960 their first three drives of the ball game and only 0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:25.200 took just over a quarter to do just that. But 0:05:25.240 --> 0:05:27.640 not only did they struggle to score points, they struggled 0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:29.640 to get off to a hot start. We talked about 0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:32.839 slow starts and how those are concerning, especially against teams 0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:35.280 that you should beat pretty handled because teams I could 0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:38.840 run the ball that too, yeah, and that will play 0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:41.120 a factor down the stretch. But they didn't get off 0:05:41.120 --> 0:05:43.480 to a slow start. They played from ahead. They controlled 0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:45.920 that game all the way through, even when Chicago made 0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:48.440 it a five point game. There was an opportunity for 0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:51.080 the Dallas Cowboys to turn back around and just give 0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:53.360 it right to the Bears. Instead, they went down, they 0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:55.400 scored on their next drive, and then they had the 0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:57.960 defensive touchdown and they made it forty two to twenty three. Well, 0:05:58.160 --> 0:06:02.240 for me, not all yards are created equal, right, So 0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:04.479 not all rushing yards are created equal. And yes, you 0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:07.040 can look at it and say, and I've had Unfortunately, 0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:10.560 I've had some viewers and Cowboys fans that tweeted me 0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:12.480 last night and say, oh, well, no, see what about 0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:14.320 the rushing yards. Look, come in your rushing yards. The 0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:16.800 Bears ran up on the Cowboys. Not all of those 0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:19.120 rushing yards were valuable. Not all of those rushing yards 0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:21.320 were impactful to the outcome of the game. For example, 0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:23.919 when you get up to when you get onto a 0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:27.200 fast start and then the Cowboys fourteen zero twenty one seven, right, 0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:31.320 you're forcing an already one dimensional team in the Chicago Bears, 0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:35.640 to abandon their primary and sole form of attack, which 0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:37.920 is rushing, and then try to throw the ball. Okay, well, 0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:40.480 first play from scrimmage, they did a goal route against 0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:42.839 Anthony Brown. Didn't work out too well, and they tried 0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:45.320 a couple other times during the game before they completely 0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:49.320 abandoned the passing attack, which is what which was wild 0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:53.000 to me because you're down multiple possessions and you're still 0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:55.240 running the ball, which works in the Cowboys favorite because 0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:58.279 you're burning clock as well. So the Cowboys at that point, 0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:00.960 particularly over the course of the second half when they 0:07:01.000 --> 0:07:04.000 regained control after you know, the overturned fumble, I mean, 0:07:04.000 --> 0:07:06.400 they had two defensive takeaways that were stolen away from 0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:09.240 them basically by I'm not even gonna say questionable officiating. 0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:12.240 I'm just gonna say by very bad officiating. Um, and 0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:16.480 we're gonna talk about that one that I don't think 0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:18.440 it was a bad and I don't want to get 0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:20.440 due far into it. I don't want to get into 0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:25.840 with the Gholston roughing the passer penalty. It's a soft call, 0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:28.240 but that's the rule you're gonna get called if you 0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:29.960 go head to head with the guy, you go face 0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:32.040 to face with a quarterback and you get that high 0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:34.200 on a quarterback, it's going to how do you defy 0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:36.120 physics on that one? What he didn't go in with 0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:40.240 any kind of malicious rule. I agree with both of 0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:42.480 you guys. It's a soft call. But the NFL we 0:07:42.520 --> 0:07:44.240 play in if you hit a quarterback in the face, 0:07:44.320 --> 0:07:46.080 you're getting called. It just is what it is. You 0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:49.320 don't have to like it, but that's the It's like, 0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:51.440 how do you guys feel about the overturned fumble? I 0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:53.360 thought it was a fumble? Yeah, yeah, that was just 0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:56.560 and agree there no, no, no. I thought the one 0:07:56.600 --> 0:07:58.720 camera angle from the end zone where it looked like 0:07:58.760 --> 0:08:00.240 he had controlled it, I don't think that was a 0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:02.720 great I think it was a terrible look. The one 0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:04.840 question where you see him fumbling it, that's where they 0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:06.840 should have the question. How do you think Dante Fowler 0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:09.680 feels about being absolutely assaulted in the back field on 0:08:09.720 --> 0:08:12.200 a critical third down that allows justin fields to a 0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:16.000 scramble and get a third down conversion. Degree, there's a 0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:17.240 there was I mean we could look at it both. 0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:18.800 There was a there was a player where their offensive 0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:21.120 tackle got their helmet ripped off and throwing by Dante 0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:23.600 Fowler too. So there's there's calls on both sides that 0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:26.960 I obviously could have changed the scope of the game. Um, 0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:29.400 but at the end of the day, yeah, the running 0:08:29.480 --> 0:08:32.120 rushing defense is definitely still a problem, and I disagree 0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:33.800 with you and the fact that it didn't have an effect. 0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:36.160 It just justin fields just can't throw the ball because 0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:38.560 Anthony Brown was beat a number of times on some 0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:40.679 passes that should have been completed had it been for 0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:42.920 any other quarterback up and say in this league, and 0:08:43.000 --> 0:08:44.760 those are players that you get away with it because 0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:47.719 of who you're playing against. But you still circle down like, hey, 0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:49.640 we gotta we have to we gotta sure this up 0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:51.920 because Aaron Rodgers is not going to miss that pass, 0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:53.920 or anybody else is not gonna miss that pass. Here's 0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:57.880 my thing on that topic. I don't feel like going 0:08:57.920 --> 0:09:00.320 back and looking at the game. The Cowboys eventually, after 0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:02.680 getting up multiple positions, they began to sell out against 0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:07.000 the past and they basically told the Bears offense, hey, 0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:08.959 you can run the ball whatever. You can have these 0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:11.040 little underneas because to them, that's the equivalent of a 0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:12.920 little slant here, a little slant there that goes to 0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:15.400 the bend. Don't break. You can run because also running 0:09:15.400 --> 0:09:17.160 who works in our favor, because it's burning the clock 0:09:17.200 --> 0:09:19.360 as well, you're working against her. So now there were 0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:22.679 plays we talked about the non call on the holding 0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:24.640 on Dante follow but there were plays with justin fields 0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:27.559 just simply made made things happen. You know that was 0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:30.320 going to happen. Aaron Rodgers, he doesn't have just a 0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:35.200 fields personiility Jalen Hurts does obviously, but how often are 0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:38.520 you're gonna go against this melis of a mobile court. 0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:40.360 At the end of the day, this is a dominant 0:09:40.360 --> 0:09:42.840 performance by the Caliboys. There's you can look at any 0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:45.160 game and nitpick and say what should have been called, 0:09:45.160 --> 0:09:46.960 what didn't get caught? At the end of the day, 0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:50.040 Dallas Cowboys dominated this this game. I think that was 0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:53.200 the expectation. But to go out there and do it, 0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:57.320 but we still even with the dominance, okay, offensively, there's 0:09:57.360 --> 0:09:59.760 still some things that you gotta shure up. You have 0:09:59.800 --> 0:10:01.719 to sure these things up, y'all know. We would try 0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:04.080 to address by getting big Jonathan Hankins in there, right, 0:10:04.120 --> 0:10:05.320 he was trying to get his feet wet with the 0:10:05.360 --> 0:10:07.640 news crew and all that. Jazz's good yesterday too, he 0:10:07.679 --> 0:10:09.520 was good. It was good, good. There's some good things 0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:11.240 in there. So, I mean, there's good things there, But 0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:13.400 at the end of the day, you're still not signing 0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:15.160 up to get two hundred and forty yards ran on you. 0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:16.800 And that's something that I'm know that they're going to 0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:18.360 try to shore up over there over the break. Not 0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:22.480 all quality yards, but it's consistent. Though, this is consistent. 0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:23.920 This is okay, this is not a one If this 0:10:23.960 --> 0:10:25.440 is a one time thing, I would agree with you. 0:10:25.480 --> 0:10:28.520 But this has been consistent. Didn't qualify and say I'm 0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:33.080 not saying that the Cowboys run defense is fixed. I'm 0:10:33.120 --> 0:10:35.640 not saying that. I am saying that it's improved with 0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:37.719 Jonathan Hankins. We've said this going into the game. We 0:10:37.800 --> 0:10:40.480 believed and hope that it would be. Yeah, Hankins acquitted 0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:43.120 themselves pretty well. Debut for the Cowboys, I think thirty 0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:46.680 two thirty three snaps, and he did well what you 0:10:46.760 --> 0:10:49.000 expected him to do well and what he struggled in 0:10:49.120 --> 0:10:51.160 is what you expected him to struggle. He did very 0:10:51.160 --> 0:10:53.600 well in the phone booth, right, but when you stretched 0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:56.560 him to the edge, he struggled. You knew that going in. 0:10:56.640 --> 0:10:58.439 That's the scouting. Why they went to the edge. That's 0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:01.600 a big body knows her end. Listen, the Chicago Bears 0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:04.280 do one thing really well, and that's run the freaking ball. 0:11:04.600 --> 0:11:06.920 And you give kudos. I said on the postgame show. 0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:09.360 You give you give credit where credit is due. They're 0:11:09.360 --> 0:11:11.400 not gonna suck all the way around. Okay, they wouldn't 0:11:11.400 --> 0:11:13.640 be in the league, all right. So there's one thing 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:15.320 that they do really well, and that's run the dog 0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:17.360 on ball. Whether they're up, they're gonna run the ball off, 0:11:17.360 --> 0:11:20.080 they're down, they're gonna run the ball. That's by I mean, 0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:22.000 it's to your point. So I agree with you and 0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:23.480 I disagree with you. I agree with you to say 0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:25.920 that Dallas wasn't tripping, but at the same time, like 0:11:25.960 --> 0:11:27.839 they're not signing up and saying, okay, yeah, let's say 0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:31.040 that anybody run all over us. It just happens to like, okay, 0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:33.840 well you're getting it, okay exactly. But what I will say, 0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:36.520 we talk about things that need to be fixed and 0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:39.280 were repaired, even if for last weekend. We'll see how 0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:42.080 it looks after the bad week. Third down, yes, sir, 0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:46.679 third down. The Cowboys were nine for eleven at one 0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:48.640 point I think six or six, seven or seven, there 0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:52.320 were one hundred percent at one point. The Cowboys they 0:11:52.720 --> 0:11:55.240 fixed yesterday. At least they fixed their third down issue 0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:56.920 in a big way. And I love what Dak Prescott 0:11:56.960 --> 0:11:59.640 said after the game as far as what what did 0:11:59.679 --> 0:12:03.400 he think was different yesterday versus previous weeks. As far 0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:05.280 as why they were so successful, he said, we kept 0:12:05.280 --> 0:12:07.559 winning on first and second down. When you keep winning 0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:09.760 on first and second down, you're in third and short. 0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:14.240 And then let's give pizza boy his roses. Yesterday, right 0:12:14.400 --> 0:12:17.920 on the third and shorts, he was dialing Moore. He 0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:21.120 was he was dialing up the pepperoni right, he was 0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:23.320 dialing up the you know what I mean, the ham 0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:26.760 that here came with the meat lovers on yesterday. So 0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:29.160 shouts out to Kellen Moore as well. Man. He called 0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:31.560 an excellent game. The Cowboys went out there and they executed. 0:12:31.600 --> 0:12:33.240 There were some things that need to be cleaned up. 0:12:33.280 --> 0:12:35.920 You talk about the neutral zone infection on Dante Fowler 0:12:36.040 --> 0:12:38.920 before he went on to have a big game for 0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:42.040 the Cowboys. So I mean, again, just all around dominant 0:12:42.040 --> 0:12:44.360 performance by the Cowboys against the team that they should 0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:46.840 have dominated, and so they did. It was their best 0:12:46.920 --> 0:12:50.680 offensive performance of the season, hands down, hands down, their 0:12:50.679 --> 0:12:53.280 worst defensive performance of the season, hands If you really 0:12:53.280 --> 0:12:55.120 had to get into it, I think it was probably 0:12:55.160 --> 0:12:58.319 their worst defensively, But who cares you won by twenty points. 0:12:58.320 --> 0:13:00.559 You got it done, you got through, you won the game. 0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:02.160 You did what you needed to do. A lot of 0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:05.360 the points came whenever they were trying to come from behind. 0:13:05.400 --> 0:13:07.719 So that's always gonna happen. You're gonna lapse up a 0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:11.240 little bit. And it was twenty eight to seven. It 0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:13.960 was a beat down happening, and then then beat down subsided. 0:13:14.679 --> 0:13:17.920 The big thing about that is that there are plays 0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:21.199 it showed. It showed your offense now has that potential. 0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:25.200 Up to this point you had not had that potential. Right, 0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:28.120 everybody was saying, when is it gonna wake up? Will 0:13:28.160 --> 0:13:31.040 it wake up? Now? You know, oh, it absolutely can. 0:13:31.120 --> 0:13:33.080 It's on that black rifle coffee. Now it's on that 0:13:33.160 --> 0:13:35.720 black rifle coffee. And it may not continue that way. 0:13:35.720 --> 0:13:38.400 It's gonna have it's ups and it's downs, but it's 0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:41.600 shown that it can happen again. Back to the offense 0:13:41.600 --> 0:13:43.480 that you had in twenty twenty one and the offense 0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:47.840 you had in twenty twenty. With that being said, Tony Pollard, 0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:50.720 how did we get fifteen minutes into this show and 0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:55.960 not talk about Tony Pollard? Thirty one yards, three touchdowns, 0:13:56.520 --> 0:13:59.160 Cowboys run for two hundred of their own against the 0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:02.839 Bears on just twenty nine rushing plays. That's just under 0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:07.880 just underneath seven yards per carry against the Bears. You 0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:11.320 talk about efficient run game, Isaiah, you found it. Yeah, 0:14:11.679 --> 0:14:13.760 you found it on Sunday. Yes they did. And the 0:14:14.360 --> 0:14:17.559 kudos to coach Philbin and his offensive line. They did 0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:19.640 a heck of a job moving these Bears off the 0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:22.400 line of scrimmage. And if you haven't had the opportunity 0:14:22.520 --> 0:14:24.160 to go back and watch it, go back and check 0:14:24.160 --> 0:14:28.040 it out. These guys are literally throwing grown men out 0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:35.040 the club. No orange teas allowed. Okay, tell me, alright, no, sorry, whatever. 0:14:35.240 --> 0:14:37.680 He would love the orange hunk in here, but Yester, 0:14:38.120 --> 0:14:40.120 yesterday we didn't like the orange, so we're throwing them out. 0:14:40.120 --> 0:14:41.840 They're literally throwing guys at the club. And then they 0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:45.640 were allowing Tony Poller to have his matchups on almost 0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:49.280 every running play. When you draw it up precisely, every 0:14:49.400 --> 0:14:51.680 single guy cannot be blocked. I don't know if the 0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:53.840 people out there know that. If you can't block up 0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:56.240 everybody on a running play, so you block up the 0:14:56.360 --> 0:15:00.000 primary guys and you leave one guy for running backs 0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:02.240 is your guy to beat? Okay, and that's what they 0:15:02.360 --> 0:15:05.360 kept doing over and over again with Tony Pollard. Yesterday, 0:15:05.400 --> 0:15:07.680 they allowed him to get up to his guy that 0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:10.320 was his responsibility, and when they did so, he won 0:15:10.400 --> 0:15:13.200 that matchup. That was what you're hoping for. That is 0:15:13.200 --> 0:15:15.720 what you saw. And this is the result when you 0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:17.800 allow him to get up to that second and third 0:15:17.880 --> 0:15:20.840 level against linebackers and safeties for those one on one matchups. 0:15:20.880 --> 0:15:23.040 And and for me, it's exactly what you guys said, 0:15:23.200 --> 0:15:25.600 is you know, kudos and shouts out to Joe Philibin, 0:15:25.680 --> 0:15:28.360 Kudos and shouts out to that offensive line for the Cowboys, 0:15:28.680 --> 0:15:32.760 because Tony Pollard did exactly what he was supposed to do, 0:15:32.840 --> 0:15:36.000 and that he used his quickness, his speed, his ability 0:15:36.040 --> 0:15:39.560 to make defenders missing space, you know, to get you know, 0:15:39.880 --> 0:15:42.600 one hundred and thirty plus yards three touchdowns on only 0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:45.160 fourteen carries. I mean, it was just ridiculous. He added 0:15:45.200 --> 0:15:48.440 another fifteen sixteen yards from scrimmage as far as a 0:15:48.520 --> 0:15:51.720 receiver as well. But he just took over the game 0:15:51.840 --> 0:15:54.840 for the Cowboys on the ground, which was also predicated 0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:59.760 upon or by Dak Prescott and the passing deep passing 0:15:59.840 --> 0:16:05.240 offense getting things going quickly. We talked about the need 0:16:05.360 --> 0:16:08.400 for Michael Gallup could be involved in this game. Kella 0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:11.200 Moore stepped up last week and he said, that's on me. 0:16:11.360 --> 0:16:16.040 It's on me that Michael Gallup didn't get targets. They 0:16:16.080 --> 0:16:18.240 fixed it early four. First play of the game, yeah, 0:16:18.240 --> 0:16:19.960 first play, and just over the course of the first 0:16:20.000 --> 0:16:23.080 quartering first drip period, Dak Prescott went heavy to Michael 0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:26.840 Gallup and he was rewarded every single time, and that 0:16:26.920 --> 0:16:30.120 drive ended in a touchdown. On the next offensive drive, 0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:32.480 found Gallup again a couple of times, and then he 0:16:32.600 --> 0:16:35.040 used that to get Ceedee Lamb going Ceedee Lamb had 0:16:35.080 --> 0:16:37.440 a great game as well. So now if you're the Bears, 0:16:37.720 --> 0:16:41.600 we're talking about the Bears having a good secondary, They're like, okay, well, 0:16:41.600 --> 0:16:43.800 we got to start clamping down on the pass. Tony 0:16:43.880 --> 0:16:46.840 Pollard was like, hey, hi, I'll take that. How are 0:16:46.840 --> 0:16:49.960 you doing? And he basically it was as balanced as 0:16:50.000 --> 0:16:53.520 a dominating, as a domination dominating performance as you see 0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:55.520 from any team in the NFL. And I don't want 0:16:55.520 --> 0:16:57.640 to hear oh will it was only the Bears. Again. 0:16:58.000 --> 0:17:00.280 My thing is hashtag keep the energy because had the 0:17:00.280 --> 0:17:02.680 Cowboys and lost to the Bears. You'd be like, oh, 0:17:02.800 --> 0:17:06.440 you lost to the Bears. Whatever. Dub six and two 0:17:06.520 --> 0:17:09.000 going too the biweek, Tony Pollard went crazy. He was 0:17:09.000 --> 0:17:11.240 out of his mind yesterday. He needed a straight jacket. 0:17:11.320 --> 0:17:13.840 And I loved every minute of it. Yeah, it was outstanding. 0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:15.400 It was so much fun to watch. And I'm sure 0:17:15.400 --> 0:17:19.159 whenever we get our Smelly Tis tickers later in the podcast, 0:17:19.600 --> 0:17:21.840 we'll certainly have one of those saved for mister TP. 0:17:22.119 --> 0:17:24.480 But when we come back here on Talking Cowboys, I 0:17:24.480 --> 0:17:27.160 want to continue talking about the offense, the tight ends. 0:17:27.200 --> 0:17:29.400 We saw some different looks with them, saw some different 0:17:29.440 --> 0:17:31.840 looks with Ceedee Lamb as well, and then Dak Prescott. 0:17:31.840 --> 0:17:33.840 How would you grade his performance in a second week 0:17:33.880 --> 0:17:36.679 back from injury.
