But Sunday morning 27 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 1: on the wake up, five degrees fairn win chill, well 28 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 1: belows the roll walking into the state. It'll risk. That'll 29 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 1: be nice. But you remember when they had to when 30 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: they had to play at the college Minnesota. Oh yeah, listen, 31 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 1: my blood is too southern. It's just my core plus 32 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 1: will start icing over. It's the coldest temperature that you've 33 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,519 Speaker 1: been exposed to for a long duration of time. UM, 34 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 1: Upstate New York January a few years ago, win chill 35 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 1: was minus twenty nine degrees Oh mine, Wow, seriously like it? 36 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,919 Speaker 1: That kind of cold actually confuses your body, Like it 37 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: goes past being frigid as far as you're feeling it, it 38 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 1: it starts to burn. Yeah, Like the sensation feels like 39 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: you're burning your skins on fire, because right your nerves 40 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,519 Speaker 1: are starting to get damaged. So, yeah, that was the cold. 41 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,959 Speaker 1: It's minus twenty nine degree win chill. What was yours? 42 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 1: Minus four? Team? Okay, and we're practicing in New England. Yeah, yeah, 43 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,359 Speaker 1: there's zero degrees. It was actual temperature you were out 44 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: there thirty and that gust gust like a knife right through, 45 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 1: right through whatever everything. And in a stadium. We're practicing 46 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: in the stadium, mean not in the practice city. That 47 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,519 Speaker 1: wind swirls stock there to sucked straight to the bowl. 48 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 1: Trying to think if I'm even close to any of that, 49 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 1: I want to say I was in negative seven one 50 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:32,239 Speaker 1: point sk yeah, yeah, but I don't want tons of layers. See, 51 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,359 Speaker 1: And that's the thing. I don't really go up north 52 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 1: in the winter very often. If I'm going up north, 53 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: it's usually in the summer for either baseball at one 54 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 1: point or stuff like that. So it's a little bit 55 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: different whenever you're going up north in the winter because 56 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: then you're going up to guy in places like Buffalo. 57 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: Buffalo expected six feet of snow, not inches. Six feet 58 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 1: of snow for their game against Cleveland. Yeah, no, thank you, 59 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 1: thank you for US Bank Stadium to being a dome. 60 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 1: For my friend Patrick you see and the Dallas Cowboys. 61 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 1: Speaking of news and notes, Time had an injury report yesterday, 62 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 1: one with a couple good news and a little bit 63 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: of bad news. Yeah, well bad news is subjective to 64 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 1: what happens today. We'll see context. So but that that 65 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: report was kind of bad news. Yeah, it was a 66 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:25,599 Speaker 1: walk through. Yeah, okay, so explain all right? So wwrd 67 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,600 Speaker 1: what would Rob do? We know you're watching Rob. So, 68 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,279 Speaker 1: first of all, promising both Ezekiel Elliott, which you know 69 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 1: he didn't suffer a setback last week anyway, so he 70 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 1: was a limited participant on Wednesday, as was Anthony Brown, 71 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 1: who remains in concussion protocol. But the fact that Anthony 72 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,719 Speaker 1: Brown was a participant at all means there is progress 73 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 1: being made as far as some of those initial hurdles 74 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 1: in the protocol being cleared. So that is promising. The 75 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,039 Speaker 1: bad news that Kyle is referring to is that DeMarcus 76 00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: Lawrence cropped up on the injury report with a foot injury. 77 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 1: He was DNP, which is did not participate on a Wednesday. 78 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,160 Speaker 1: I circle that as something to watch, but I wouldn't 79 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,479 Speaker 1: be concerned about it just yet because I personally want 80 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,839 Speaker 1: to see Thursday's practice report, and there's actual actual practice, 81 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 1: not just to walk through, which basically means they told 82 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: him to sit down and don't come out yesterday and 83 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 1: you know, just brush the foot. So today will be key, 84 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 1: Tomorrow will be critical, and then of course Saturday. So 85 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,279 Speaker 1: something to watch there not necessarily bad news just yet, 86 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: but something to watch that's definitely bad news. Now he 87 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: has a history, Yeah, but he's been still playing out 88 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,040 Speaker 1: of his mind, get it. But he wasn't putting him 89 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:39,720 Speaker 1: on injury report. It wasn't. It's not the first time 90 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 1: he's been on the injury report with his foot this year. Yes, 91 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 1: when you don't recall that he what game was that 92 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,040 Speaker 1: that he suffered a foot injury or it ended up 93 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,600 Speaker 1: being he said it was foot or tightness in his foot. 94 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: He left for a few plays and he returned. Help 95 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 1: me out Twitter if Yeah, I don't remember that specific happened. 96 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 1: I remember him leaving a game and then coming back, 97 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,039 Speaker 1: but I don't remember him ever actually being on the 98 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: injury or I believe you're about the week report in 99 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,040 Speaker 1: the game that followed that I can look through. I've 100 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,479 Speaker 1: got my email, I can go through it. So something 101 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 1: to watch they're flipping to the Vikings side of the 102 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:18,239 Speaker 1: injury report. Christian Derris saw some bad news for them. 103 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 1: If we're going to go that route. They're starting left tackle, 104 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 1: remains in the concussion protocol and unlike Anthony Brown who 105 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,599 Speaker 1: is limited in their walk through for the Cowboys, Derrissaw 106 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 1: was a DNP. He did not even participate in the 107 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 1: walk through yesterday, so doesn't look like looking like as 108 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 1: of yesterday, he's making any progress. That's key obviously, starting 109 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,480 Speaker 1: left tackle, trying to protect Kirk Cousins, trying to open 110 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 1: up lanes for Dalvin Cook and Madison m Dalvin Tomlinson, 111 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,039 Speaker 1: big body knows tackle. Cowboys know him well from his 112 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 1: time with the Giants. He was DNP with a calf injury. 113 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: Something to watch there as well. And Justin Jefferson popped 114 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 1: up on the Vikings injury report for the toe issue. 115 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson, he was limited yesterday in the walk through, 116 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 1: but he is battling a toe issue. Big tour, pinky toe. 117 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 1: Good question, good question. I don't know if we're gonna 118 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 1: go full Hall of Nights. I don't know if it 119 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 1: was I don't know if they know. It makes a 120 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 1: different we gotta we gotta know it doesn't make it's 121 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 1: investigative journalism that we can find out over the course 122 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: of today. If it's big toe, pinky toe, or one 123 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 1: of the three chest in one of the three medals, 124 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 1: which one would you tall? Is it big is? Yeah? Yeah, 125 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 1: because especially for a receiver running routes, breaks and things 126 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 1: like that. So yeah, Justin Jefferson something to watch nursing 127 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 1: a toe issue. So that's, uh, that's going to be 128 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 1: the big the big uns as far as the news 129 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 1: and notes. Toe injury has Michael Thomas sideline for the 130 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 1: rest of the year. It does, so, I mean for 131 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 1: a wide receiver, receivers and you don't want toe issues. Yeah, 132 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 1: for a defensive lineman, a foot is significant too, to 133 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: keep in mind. So I'm just they're probably saying the 134 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 1: exact same thing we are qualified as. Let me see 135 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 1: today's report for both for both, Okay, for both. Okay, 136 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 1: I was about to say, because they're saying the same thing. 137 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 1: They're like, oh my gosh, de Marcus Lawrence isn't gonna play. 138 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 1: We're gonna run all over this team. Keep that energy 139 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 1: over here. For both Justin Jefferson and for the Marcus Lawrence. 140 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 1: Let's see today's injury report when practices actually occur in 141 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 1: both cities. Let's see what their status is at the 142 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 1: end of the day. Hashtag keep that, en keep that. 143 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 1: Lets see if the Cowboys can keep that energy that 144 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 1: they had in the first three quarters against the Packers 145 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 1: and take that to all four quarters against this Vikings defense. 146 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: I mean, there were times where that offense finally got 147 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 1: back off the ground. Giants game, Giants games, when he 148 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 1: was on the Big Dame. Just for playing on Twitter, 149 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,199 Speaker 1: Giants game, appreciate your big Dame. But there were times 150 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,719 Speaker 1: where this offense looked like it was working again. There 151 00:08:55,720 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 1: were times and then and then it came to Nate 152 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 1: Newton is just simply to get on Isaiah's camera. Here. 153 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 1: Look at there he is. Look at that, He's just watching. 154 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 1: He's just watching. Look at trying he trying out today. Yeah, 155 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 1: he's gonna take this fourth chair. Nate Newton about to 156 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 1: join us here. I'm talking Cowboys man to let him in. 157 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:27,559 Speaker 1: But previewing the Cowboys offense versus the Minnesota defense, there 158 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 1: were times where this looked like it was working. Nate 159 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 1: Newton in week number ten against the Minnesota Vikings. How 160 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 1: can they keep that consistency going the Cowboys offense, how 161 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 1: can they keep that consistency through all through? Why? Hey, 162 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 1: I think up until this point, coach Cole Moore has 163 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 1: been doing a nice a nice job. And yesterday the 164 00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 1: last game that we played, I didn't like that up 165 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,680 Speaker 1: tempo and second half because I think we needed to 166 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 1: rest our defense. But he's been calling good games. And 167 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,839 Speaker 1: if Zeke can get back this week and maybe give 168 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 1: him one or two more runs and continue to let 169 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 1: Tony Potla duty has to do. And I think we 170 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 1: need involved by tight ends a little bit more. I 171 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 1: think we should be okay going up in there trying 172 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 1: to control the time of possession. You agree there, Kyle, 173 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 1: I do agree. I think overall, Kellen's done a good job, 174 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 1: but it's not a great job yet. He's still learning, 175 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 1: he's still getting better. Isaiah, do you disagree? I can 176 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,080 Speaker 1: bear everything too what I've seen him capable of, and 177 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 1: that's that's yeah, that's I mean, so once I know 178 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 1: what you're capable of, I know you can run a 179 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 1: four two four four is not not getting it done. 180 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 1: It's not trash, it's not trash exactly. That's and that's 181 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 1: what we're saying, right, it's not trash, need improve, but 182 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 1: we know what you're capable of. I just wanted and 183 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 1: there's no limit on it, right like like like like 184 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 1: master p. So I'm trying to under understand what I 185 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 1: think once he overcomes his internal shackles that he has 186 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 1: on himself, he will be much better and this office 187 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,720 Speaker 1: will be much more efficient because they're not struggling in 188 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:14,559 Speaker 1: certain areas, but they're trying to force it in the 189 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 1: other area in other regions. So to Nate's point, how 190 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,319 Speaker 1: do you control the clock? You control the clock. But 191 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:24,320 Speaker 1: by being efficient. Now, I'm gonna go off off the 192 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:29,079 Speaker 1: rails a little bit here and by saying, uh, this 193 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: this is about our wide receivers and our quarterback and 194 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 1: our tight ends. If these guys our own par yeah, 195 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 1: we we win this game, Fellas and and and that 196 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 1: is being more efficient not only falls on coach more 197 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 1: it falls on the individual players. And it takes me 198 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,079 Speaker 1: back to what I've been saying and preaching all week, 199 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna continue to preach this until I see it. 200 00:11:55,720 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 1: Do your job, you know, Uh, Coach Kelly can put 201 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 1: together game plans all day and try to get people 202 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 1: in position, and maybe he needs to do a better 203 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 1: job of saying, hey, tight end, you can't get caught up, 204 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 1: whether it's in the end zone or whether it's a 205 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 1: neck a boot, because I've heard our quarterbacks said that, well, 206 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,440 Speaker 1: our guy got caught up. You can't get caught up. 207 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 1: This is a necessary thing for us to develop our offense. 208 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 1: So we can put more and more in and we 209 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 1: can be just we can tweak every week and gets 210 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 1: people a different look. Just about tweaking this. So the 211 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,960 Speaker 1: efficiency not only falls on coach more, it falls on 212 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,320 Speaker 1: the quarterback, and it falls on the wide receivers. You 213 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:42,079 Speaker 1: know running backs. They're doing their job even in third 214 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 1: down situations. Polit becomes better. Zeke is who he is, 215 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,840 Speaker 1: a little Malique Turner running like he's a young Zeke 216 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 1: with power and with skills. So this falls on three people. Yeah, 217 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:59,839 Speaker 1: offensive line, do your job. Wide receivers, tight ends do 218 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 1: your job. And that allows the other two guys, Coach Kellerman, 219 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 1: and they're efficient. They're really not as an offense, they're 220 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:13,599 Speaker 1: not far from being. I don't want to use the 221 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 1: word prolific because prolific would be like what they were 222 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one, but they're not far from being 223 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 1: a threat on a weekly basis, because if you look 224 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 1: at what happened in Green Bay, it was lack of execution, 225 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 1: and under that umbrella of lack of execution goes miscommunication 226 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,559 Speaker 1: ques between QB and wide receiver. If you take those 227 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:34,440 Speaker 1: two miscommunications away, you just deleted two interceptions and then 228 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 1: you delete fourteen points for Aaron Rodgers because he got 229 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 1: two touchdowns off of those two interceptions, and the Cowboys 230 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 1: win the game. So to Nate's point, Kellen until all 231 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 1: of our point, because we're all correctness aspect, Kellen needs 232 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 1: to improve in the aspect of understanding situationally when to 233 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 1: go into the hurry up versus when to slow the 234 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,320 Speaker 1: game down and start pounding in you know the defense. 235 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:00,439 Speaker 1: I love when he starts out the game in the 236 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 1: hurry up because if everything's being executed, it tends to 237 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 1: put it tends to put the opposing defense on their heels. 238 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 1: They're not ready for that. That's helping the Cowboys get 239 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 1: off the fast starts. Same for the third quarter. There's 240 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 1: a reason the Cowboys have been really, really good in 241 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,199 Speaker 1: the third quarter. But if you look at a game 242 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 1: like the Packers, and they're red hot in the third quarter, 243 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 1: as they typically are, but then they start coughing up 244 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 1: you know, points here and they're seventeen unanswered. You go 245 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 1: back and look at the film and you say, well, 246 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 1: why what happened? It's because you were moving too fast. Yes, 247 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 1: And going back to what I said yesterday, I don't 248 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 1: think that they missed Ezekiel Elliott so much so that 249 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 1: they couldn't have won the game against the Packers. But 250 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 1: once the game started to get away from them, that's 251 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 1: when they started to miss Ezekiel Elliott. Do you think 252 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: Zeke makes that much of a difference this week compared 253 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 1: to last week. I do, because of his running style. 254 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:51,920 Speaker 1: I do. If you're going to control time of possession, 255 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 1: that's the man. Zeke is the guy to do that, 256 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 1: right may All, it's not so much that we need Zeke. 257 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 1: It's just execution and what you're doing. And because I 258 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 1: thought the Malite Davis guy did what he had to do, 259 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 1: it's just that we had to slow down. We had 260 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 1: to slow down the cards. One thing that has happened 261 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 1: is that and I say this, all of us up 262 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 1: until last week. Maybe not Zeke. I mean maybe not zoos, 263 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: maybe not zoos, but all of us bought into the 264 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 1: Sack Party. To a man, to a woman, to a podcast, 265 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 1: we all, wow, okay, they rushed with two unt of yards, 266 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 1: but we won. We bought into it. But now it 267 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 1: ain't happening no more. I think zeus spot into it too. 268 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 1: You picked the Cowboys to win thirty one thirteen or 269 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 1: whatever it was, those two different conversations. We're talking about 270 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 1: the sack Party. Yeah, you're mbering about the Sack Party 271 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 1: as we're talking about That's what they said. Yeah, yes, sir, 272 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 1: I understand, But when when did he know against the 273 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 1: Sack Party, I wouldn't. I made a point of emphasis 274 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 1: because you remember, against the Bears, You're like, oh, they 275 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 1: can have the two hundred pleasures. I'm like, yeah, yeah, 276 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 1: but but he gains nobody, like nobody. You can't allow 277 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 1: that versus nobody, because if you if you allow that, 278 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 1: then you've already shown where your weakness is. Now. They 279 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 1: might be the Bears might be prolific and running the ball, 280 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 1: and that might be what they do best, but they're 281 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 1: still attacking a weakness that you have. They're not just 282 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 1: simply overpowering your personnel. They're simply exposing you, and they 283 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 1: have better personnel for that particular type of the scheme. 284 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 1: Once you show that on film, every team, every team 285 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 1: will expose that what happened to next week exposed what's 286 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 1: gonna happen this week. We're gonna see, We're gonna see it. 287 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 1: Because if you load the box up, what's gonna happen, 288 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 1: they're coming up and the thing outside. Yeah, justin Jefferson, 289 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 1: you've got the dealings. So like that's that's when they're 290 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 1: talking about, Like, yeah, sad party is awesome. When you 291 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 1: force the team to have to pass, but you have 292 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 1: to get the team either out of their game plan 293 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 1: by getting up early, or you have to be so 294 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 1: prominent in your run defense that they now have to 295 00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 1: pass the bar and now you can go do what 296 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 1: you do best. So here's the thing, And I'll say this, 297 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 1: I said a hundred times, I'll say it again. I 298 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 1: don't care what happened in the Bears game because of 299 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:10,440 Speaker 1: how the Bears game flowed. Care And I'm not trying 300 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 1: to take that away from you, Mike. I'm saying the 301 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 1: reason I don't care about that, it's simply because the 302 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 1: game was so dominated by the Cowboys that they said, 303 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 1: we know that you want to go over the top 304 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 1: to get back in the game. So what we're gonna 305 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,600 Speaker 1: do is protect that you can have all that you 306 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 1: can run into your hearts as I are not hold on, 307 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,920 Speaker 1: hold on. But then you flip it to Green Bay. 308 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,920 Speaker 1: That's a different story because remember what I said after 309 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,880 Speaker 1: the Bears game. If the game was close against Chicago 310 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,440 Speaker 1: and they run up two hundred plus yards, then it's 311 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 1: a problem because that you needed to stop that from 312 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 1: happening because the game was in the balance. The game 313 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,640 Speaker 1: in Green Bay was you sold out to stop the run. 314 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 1: You didn't set out to stop the run against Chicago 315 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:51,119 Speaker 1: because you had the game one in hand and you 316 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 1: were letting, you know, the clock work against them and 317 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 1: they were just not smart enough to try to pass. 318 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:59,359 Speaker 1: The only problem we have here is one coach was 319 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,399 Speaker 1: protecting this young quarterback and the other coach was just 320 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,919 Speaker 1: putting this quarterback in position to win the game. And 321 00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:08,639 Speaker 1: this has always been the Achilles hial for the last 322 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:13,680 Speaker 1: five to six years. What does the Cowboys do when 323 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 1: you have a running game with a good, solid quarterback 324 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 1: that can control tempo and we have lost every game 325 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:32,200 Speaker 1: we have lost this year comes down to that. I speak, yes, yes, yes, 326 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 1: you play nine games a year, correct, nine games a year? 327 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,360 Speaker 1: How many games were not? One hundred yard games? Run 328 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:43,879 Speaker 1: defensively run defense? Uh? Two? Two? Yeah, let me go 329 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,640 Speaker 1: down the line. One hundred and fifty two yards, one 330 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 1: hundred and sixty seven yards, one hundred forty two yards, 331 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty six yards, one hundred seventeen yards 332 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:56,640 Speaker 1: two forty two o seven. You don't see your problem here? 333 00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:58,720 Speaker 1: Who said they didn't see a problems? I'm saying to 334 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 1: say that you don't. It doesn't bother you. Like no 335 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 1: defensive coordinator's gonna say, hey, keep running the ball. Ultimately, 336 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,879 Speaker 1: your your goal is to win the ultimate contextually get it, 337 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,720 Speaker 1: I get it, I get it. But contextually you've given 338 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:18,920 Speaker 1: up my point. My point is exclusive to the Chicago 339 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 1: Bears game, and I'm saying it's not exclusive though, because 340 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,359 Speaker 1: that was two forty against them. That's two or seven 341 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,199 Speaker 1: in the following game. Prior to that, you gave up 342 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,479 Speaker 1: one seventeen, one thirty six. So what I'm saying, if 343 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 1: I if I let you have, what's if I put 344 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,119 Speaker 1: on my front yard something debate you to keep you 345 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 1: from trying to get what's in the backyard, and you 346 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 1: take that bait, that's all willing good. But if I 347 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,640 Speaker 1: go on the front yard with my shotgun to keep 348 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:40,479 Speaker 1: you from taking something on my front yard and you 349 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 1: take it anyway, I get it that surprised. How many 350 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 1: times have they done that this year? Have they put 351 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:46,639 Speaker 1: it out there and say, I got a shotgun with you? 352 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 1: I got a shotgun. The only Game two game, the 353 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 1: only game that they weren't on the frontyard, on the 354 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 1: front line with the shotgun. What Chicago. Which is why 355 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,400 Speaker 1: I'm saying I don't care because of how that game flowed. 356 00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:00,960 Speaker 1: I obviously care about what happened with Green. I obviously 357 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,359 Speaker 1: care about what they allowed the Philadelphia Eagles to do 358 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,359 Speaker 1: in the run game. Obviously I'm saying, don't take my 359 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,880 Speaker 1: grain of rice that I'm describing and turn it into 360 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 1: a home to say. I'm just saying that this defense 361 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:15,360 Speaker 1: has made valiant efforts to stop the run up every 362 00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 1: team that they played. Some teams are gonna be more 363 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,200 Speaker 1: of emphasis than others because of what those teams present, 364 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,520 Speaker 1: But every team, aside from the Rams, who have no 365 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,360 Speaker 1: running game, zero running game. So we could just eliminate 366 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 1: that one. Okay, the Cincinnati Bengals, they run the ball 367 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:31,640 Speaker 1: pretty well, but they like to throw the ball. Okay, 368 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 1: those are the only two teams that you had any 369 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 1: form of success stopping the run, and you jumped up 370 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 1: seventeen to three against Cincinnati and they didn't really Going 371 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 1: to what Nate said, which also goes to what Mike said, 372 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,399 Speaker 1: which was past rush is a privilege. And when I 373 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,879 Speaker 1: spoke with Neville Gallimore yesterday, I love what he said 374 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 1: and that he said, coach, hit it on the head. 375 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,200 Speaker 1: You have to earn the You have to earn third 376 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 1: down by winning on first and second down. If you 377 00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 1: can't win on first and second down and force you know, 378 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 1: third and minus third and long, then your pass rushers 379 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:03,119 Speaker 1: are not going to be able to pin their ears 380 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 1: back and go and get guys because you guess what 381 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 1: you're gonna have to be and run defense again. But 382 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:11,159 Speaker 1: now third and mid, third and short, the other team 383 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 1: has options. They could run the ball, or they could 384 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:15,440 Speaker 1: do a quick slant. And now you're going up against 385 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,920 Speaker 1: a Minnesota team that loves West Coast and your quick 386 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,720 Speaker 1: ends and your quick out. So this is a game 387 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:24,199 Speaker 1: going into Minnesota where the Cowboys absolutely have to. It 388 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 1: goes without saying they have to stop the run, but 389 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 1: in doing so, it will then free up the pass 390 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:30,879 Speaker 1: rush because you're gonna put them in third and longs. 391 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 1: And now this is against Kirk Cousins, who will throw 392 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,920 Speaker 1: interceptions and make mistakes. So yeah, Cowboys have an issue 393 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 1: on run defense. All I'm saying is, after that, out 394 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,720 Speaker 1: of that holy equation, take the Bears out and drop 395 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 1: them in the trash, and everything else is true. That's 396 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,439 Speaker 1: all I'm saying, ding ding Ding Round one has come 397 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:54,159 Speaker 1: to an end. I really enjoyed that. However, this is 398 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 1: a preview for the Cowboys offense versus the Minnesota defense, 399 00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 1: and we haven't talked a single look of that side 400 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:04,920 Speaker 1: of like the first twelve seconds he was blessing us 401 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 1: with knowledge Santhony can get the rundown, though, So we're 402 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,880 Speaker 1: gotta make sure, we gotta make sure that we're we're 403 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,439 Speaker 1: staying on track here. But when we come back, you 404 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,520 Speaker 1: can stick around if you want, Nate, you got anything 405 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:19,160 Speaker 1: to do. No, I'll sit around then, because I mean 406 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 1: I'll just you know, like just dodging bullets. Glad they're 407 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:28,200 Speaker 1: sitting on opposite sides. Of the table. I like it. Oh, 408 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 1: I know, it's it's all funny games. When we come back, 409 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,159 Speaker 1: let's talk about that cowboys offense. Can they get seedee 410 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:38,680 Speaker 1: lamb going again? How vulnerable is the vikings secondary? When 411 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:42,520 Speaker 1: we come back right after this.

Um, 490 00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,199 Speaker 1: And then when you talked to Dan Quinn and you 491 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,720 Speaker 1: ask questions like do you have the right personnel to 492 00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 1: fix it? And he says absolutely, And then you go 493 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:06,200 Speaker 1: back and you look at the film and you say, well, 494 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 1: Bq's not wrong. They do have the right personnel. So 495 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 1: what went wrong in Green Bay, for example, execution, wrong lanes, 496 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:17,160 Speaker 1: over pursuits, guys playing hero ball, And what never say 497 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,440 Speaker 1: yesterday was he said, hey, we got a defense full 498 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 1: of dogs. Everybody is a dog on our defense. I 499 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,040 Speaker 1: think we can all agree with that. He said. The 500 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:27,000 Speaker 1: problem is is every dog is more or less trying to, 501 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,200 Speaker 1: you know, get the home run swing in one play. 502 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,280 Speaker 1: Stay within yourself, stay within your assignment, don't over pursue, 503 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,359 Speaker 1: don't you know, try to be that guy because and 504 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:38,919 Speaker 1: remember that you're that guy by default. So if you 505 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,399 Speaker 1: just stick to your assignment and the guy next to 506 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 1: you in either direction sticks to their assignment, the run 507 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:49,840 Speaker 1: game would be precipitously better than what we've seen guys, 508 00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:53,119 Speaker 1: I want to talk offense. This is this is so good. 509 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,440 Speaker 1: I'm just kidding. I'm not really that upset about it 510 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,679 Speaker 1: because I think the cover now we can't switch it though, 511 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,800 Speaker 1: because I also forgot the news and notes. M Zadarius Smith, 512 00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:03,960 Speaker 1: team leader for the Vikings and sacks not in a 513 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,359 Speaker 1: half sacks dealing with the knee issue. He popped up 514 00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:08,639 Speaker 1: on the injury report yesterday. So is he limited or 515 00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:10,640 Speaker 1: was he out? He was limited? Okay, he was limited, 516 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:14,200 Speaker 1: but you know, hashtag keep that energy right, Let's see 517 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 1: what practice holds today for Zadarius Smith as well, because 518 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:20,920 Speaker 1: if he's dealing with a a knee issue of any 519 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:25,879 Speaker 1: souff he's less than a hundred percent then obviously, technically speaking, 520 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:27,760 Speaker 1: that ship work in the Cowboys favor. I hesitate to 521 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:31,440 Speaker 1: say it because Rashaan Garry was out. And what did 522 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 1: you when you went back and watched the film, Isaiah, 523 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 1: what what did you think of the performance for the 524 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 1: Cowboys offense in Green Bay? Do you think it was 525 00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:45,360 Speaker 1: above their average this season? No? What do you what 526 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,800 Speaker 1: do you think? What would you put it? See? I 527 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:50,200 Speaker 1: mean it's pretty basic. I mean that defensive Green Bay 528 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 1: is not a threat and you weren't that effective against it. 529 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 1: You can blame it on a miscommunication, you can blame 530 00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,720 Speaker 1: it on you know, not sticking with the run. Whatever 531 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,080 Speaker 1: you want to say. They should have scored more points 532 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,280 Speaker 1: than they scored in Green Bay twenty eight. Yeah, and 533 00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:06,560 Speaker 1: when you when you look towards a defense of Minnesota, 534 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 1: Minnesota gets points scored against them two. But they have 535 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,520 Speaker 1: substantially more personnel than Green Bay had on their defense, 536 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:16,400 Speaker 1: and their front seven is solid. They're not you know, 537 00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:19,440 Speaker 1: they're they're former names or guys that can be game 538 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:21,520 Speaker 1: records if you allow for them to get in their zone. 539 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,320 Speaker 1: But I think the strength and they have guys at 540 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 1: every level. Let's let's not make a mistake. They have 541 00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 1: a guy, they have d Lineman, they got a line 542 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,960 Speaker 1: direct backers, and they obviously have some some cornerbacks and 543 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:37,040 Speaker 1: safeties talking about Pat p and yeah, big Smith. So 544 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,600 Speaker 1: but I think that the strength of this defense is 545 00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:43,160 Speaker 1: their linebackers. I think I think Jordan Hicks and Eric 546 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:46,880 Speaker 1: Kendricks and and you put Zadarius Smith in there if 547 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,760 Speaker 1: you want to. He's really a d N. But those linebackers, man, 548 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,520 Speaker 1: these guys don't miss tackles. They just don't miss tackles, 549 00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:55,200 Speaker 1: and these guys are big and physical and if you're 550 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 1: if you try to run the ball against them, they 551 00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,080 Speaker 1: have a lot of gap integrity. They're not jumping around blocks, 552 00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:05,080 Speaker 1: they're coming downhill, and their cornerbacks and safeties are more 553 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 1: than willing and happy to come down there and hit 554 00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:09,520 Speaker 1: you as well. So it's gonna be it's gonna be 555 00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:11,640 Speaker 1: definitely a challenge. They don't do anything amazing, they don't 556 00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:14,520 Speaker 1: pressure you a lot. They're not their defensive ends aren't 557 00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:16,479 Speaker 1: necessarily getting home all the time. But in terms of 558 00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,360 Speaker 1: running integrity and gap integrity, they make it difficult on 559 00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,600 Speaker 1: you. You You know how to punish that guys who love 560 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,560 Speaker 1: coming down and you know, playing downhill against your run 561 00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 1: as you put in a running back that loves going 562 00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:33,240 Speaker 1: uphill to meet them and roses to Tony Pollard, he 563 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:36,120 Speaker 1: is very good at what he does, very good, and 564 00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:38,520 Speaker 1: he's a starter in the league with any other team. 565 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 1: But this is a game where because you have guys 566 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:44,440 Speaker 1: like Jordan Hicks, whom the Cowboys know very well from 567 00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:48,680 Speaker 1: his time with the Philadelphia Eagles. Try to tackle Ezekiel 568 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 1: Elliott a few times and then you start thinking twice 569 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 1: about it the fourth and fifth time. It's over the 570 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:57,080 Speaker 1: course of a game. It really just beats you down. 571 00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,760 Speaker 1: So it's a different type of running style. So hopefully 572 00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:02,120 Speaker 1: for the Cowboys to help combat that, because yeah they 573 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:05,560 Speaker 1: have some their linebacker chords. Something else to help combat 574 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:07,400 Speaker 1: that is you just keep punching them in the mouth, 575 00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:09,440 Speaker 1: keep punching them in the mouth, and eventually a tooth 576 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,080 Speaker 1: comes loose, and then another one falls out. And here 577 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:13,560 Speaker 1: you are in the fourth quarter and they don't want 578 00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:16,840 Speaker 1: to tackle anymore because they're they're better than Bruce, So 579 00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:18,760 Speaker 1: that that's going to open up. Guess what here we 580 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:23,080 Speaker 1: come my arrest play action. Yeah, so this is how 581 00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:26,959 Speaker 1: you do it. You have to control this game because 582 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:31,760 Speaker 1: if you don't, Zadarius Smith and done there. Hunter. Yeah, 583 00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:35,280 Speaker 1: they play up and down the line. You can see 584 00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:38,120 Speaker 1: them over the guards, you can see them over the tackles, 585 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,920 Speaker 1: you can see them in gaps. But if you control 586 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,480 Speaker 1: it through the run game and play action pass and 587 00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,400 Speaker 1: keep your tight ends involved in this game, then they'll 588 00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:49,760 Speaker 1: basically go back to the outside linebacker positions, their defensive 589 00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:53,760 Speaker 1: in positions. You don't want them being able to play 590 00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:56,360 Speaker 1: over our guards, you know, And even though we got 591 00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:58,000 Speaker 1: a great guard and I right guard. We don't want 592 00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 1: that over our left guarden. You want to make sure 593 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:03,520 Speaker 1: these guys stay home by controlling the short passing game 594 00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:06,480 Speaker 1: and you run game, and so to keep these guys 595 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:10,200 Speaker 1: at home, and to make sure that Kendricks and uh 596 00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:13,080 Speaker 1: and and the other guy, Jordan Hicks make sure they 597 00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:16,240 Speaker 1: play their normal positions. So that that's we have to 598 00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:18,760 Speaker 1: do this man. And going back to last week, I 599 00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:22,200 Speaker 1: thought Green Bay defense with Kenny, I can't think it 600 00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:25,680 Speaker 1: was named a big nose tackle three techniques. I thought 601 00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,800 Speaker 1: they were better than they than they seemed. And this 602 00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:33,680 Speaker 1: team here has led stats. Don't let the stats fool 603 00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:37,760 Speaker 1: you with Minnesota because what they have shown me is 604 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:42,080 Speaker 1: when they need to stop alive Buffalo, they will get 605 00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:45,360 Speaker 1: a stop. You know. So this this team is much 606 00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:48,680 Speaker 1: better than you think, but they can be controlled. If 607 00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:52,240 Speaker 1: you do a short passing game and run downhill, it'll 608 00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:56,120 Speaker 1: make these other Smith and uh hunters stay home and 609 00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,920 Speaker 1: the interior of the defensive line might be a little 610 00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:04,760 Speaker 1: a little less meati this week because Tomlinson right, so 611 00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:08,800 Speaker 1: he's dealing with the calf injury. He did not participate yesterday. 612 00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:10,240 Speaker 1: Now that's one that I don't know that he's going 613 00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:12,960 Speaker 1: to participate to do today either, So there's a there's 614 00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,600 Speaker 1: a good chance that Tomlinson is not in the middle 615 00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:18,840 Speaker 1: of that defensive line for the Vikings on Sunday. So 616 00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:21,000 Speaker 1: that just goes back to what we're saying, run the ball. 617 00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:23,720 Speaker 1: Hopefully Zeke is there so you can have that particular 618 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:26,280 Speaker 1: punishing running style and then play Tony pollodoff of that, 619 00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:28,440 Speaker 1: which then feeds the play action, and just go from 620 00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:31,960 Speaker 1: there and start attacking. Make those safeties start coming forward 621 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,360 Speaker 1: because they're afraid of the run game and they got 622 00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:36,920 Speaker 1: to help in that run game and play action over 623 00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:40,400 Speaker 1: the head, play action, ten out, play action. I think 624 00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:42,160 Speaker 1: that's what you the strategy you would like to get to. 625 00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:47,000 Speaker 1: But these guys are so sound up front. You can 626 00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,560 Speaker 1: wear them down right, you can wear them down right, 627 00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:53,280 Speaker 1: but if you're impatient, then they're gonna they'll make you 628 00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:55,840 Speaker 1: pay for him. Because Smith doesn't need to be up 629 00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:57,320 Speaker 1: in the box. If he comes in the box, you 630 00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:00,520 Speaker 1: better you better freaking you better watch out because he's 631 00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:02,960 Speaker 1: coming to hit somebody in their mouth. But these these 632 00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:05,920 Speaker 1: linebackers are so freaking just savvy, man, and like they're 633 00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:08,640 Speaker 1: they are not going to be out there gaps. They're 634 00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:10,839 Speaker 1: not gonna be jumping around blocks. They will two gap 635 00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,560 Speaker 1: of freaking offensive linement like there's nobody's business, and they'll 636 00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:15,160 Speaker 1: shed them and get the pack. I mean, these guys 637 00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:17,000 Speaker 1: are physical, Nathan. I'm sure you've seen it on film. 638 00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:20,719 Speaker 1: They're physical linebacker Like this is like the definition of linebackers. 639 00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:23,680 Speaker 1: This isn't like a hybrid you know, twenty twenty two 640 00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:26,759 Speaker 1: type of linebacker Like this is true. They could play 641 00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:30,720 Speaker 1: in any error, plug a hole, run downhill, make a tackle, 642 00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:34,560 Speaker 1: make a read linebacker. Sure tacklers, how tight end has 643 00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:37,440 Speaker 1: got to come into play. Not only make sure you're 644 00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:41,360 Speaker 1: blocking well, but we gotta get them involved. We have 645 00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:44,600 Speaker 1: to get them involved in in our passing game. Paging 646 00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:48,879 Speaker 1: Fergie and him the shut paging those two you because 647 00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:52,040 Speaker 1: don't don't's gonna get his targets. You know, I said 648 00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:53,680 Speaker 1: that before and I would say it again. He's Dak 649 00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:57,279 Speaker 1: Prescott's favorite receiver. You've seen that kind of coming back 650 00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:59,279 Speaker 1: continues to play itself out. And I said that when 651 00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:00,799 Speaker 1: Dad came back, I was like, you want to see 652 00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,640 Speaker 1: the reemergence of Dalton shots, And now we're seeing it 653 00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:07,640 Speaker 1: But the thing with Dolton Shots is he's not that 654 00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,640 Speaker 1: guy that gets yack after you get him in space. 655 00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:12,560 Speaker 1: I think we saw an instance of that at least 656 00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:14,799 Speaker 1: once in Green Bay where he got that got him 657 00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:18,320 Speaker 1: out out in space and he couldn't beat that the 658 00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:20,440 Speaker 1: single techler that was out there. And that's not a 659 00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:22,520 Speaker 1: knock against Shots. Is just not his game. But then 660 00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:24,680 Speaker 1: when you harken back to the Philadelphia game and you 661 00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:27,640 Speaker 1: saw what Jake Ferguson does in space, and then you 662 00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:30,520 Speaker 1: know that Hindershot can stretch the field. Get these young 663 00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:33,600 Speaker 1: guys involved in Minnesota, get these safeties trying to figure 664 00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:36,120 Speaker 1: out how they should play, and then you got an advantage. 665 00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:40,399 Speaker 1: Dallas has committed just nine turnovers on the season, that's 666 00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:43,239 Speaker 1: the fourth fewest in the entire NFL. They've turned it 667 00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:49,360 Speaker 1: over nine times, that's it. Entering Week eleven, Minnesota's defense 668 00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:53,200 Speaker 1: has tallied sixteen takeaways on the year, that's the second 669 00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:56,080 Speaker 1: most in the league to this point. Off of those turnovers, 670 00:35:56,080 --> 00:36:00,400 Speaker 1: Minnesota has cashed in on forty six points. So not 671 00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:04,160 Speaker 1: only can the defense take the football away, but when 672 00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:06,960 Speaker 1: they take it away, they're gonna convert. They're gonna make 673 00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:10,040 Speaker 1: you pay. And that's the biggest thing for Dallas this 674 00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:12,720 Speaker 1: week is two things. One hold on to the football 675 00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:15,360 Speaker 1: and two if you do your defense has got a 676 00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:17,880 Speaker 1: bow up and do some work. But offensively, hold on 677 00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:19,960 Speaker 1: to the football. You've done a good job of that 678 00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:22,640 Speaker 1: this year. But over the last few games, those takeaways, 679 00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:26,040 Speaker 1: those turnovers that have been forced against you, have come 680 00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:29,320 Speaker 1: back to cost you. Allah Green Bay and what happened 681 00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:33,600 Speaker 1: in the early parts of that football game, crossface, brother, crossface, 682 00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:38,000 Speaker 1: make it happens all right when we come back, let's 683 00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:42,680 Speaker 1: talk more about the Cowboys or the Vikings secondary. I 684 00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:46,200 Speaker 1: didn't necessarily when I was watching film, I didn't necessarily 685 00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:48,719 Speaker 1: see anything that was too concerning. But they've still got 686 00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:50,560 Speaker 1: pieces on the back side of that defense. When we 687 00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:54,040 Speaker 1: come back with more talking Cowboys, Ta Ta. Todd thought 688 00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:56,160 Speaker 1: it would be secure to jog in the Cheatahs event. 689 00:36:56,360 --> 00:37:00,400 Speaker 1: Todd belief the big cat repellent he bought online was reliable. 690 00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:02,520 Speaker 1: Todd is trying to be faster than this cheetah that 691 00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:05,160 Speaker 1: can run eighty miles per home. But the good news 692 00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:08,000 Speaker 1: is Todd has at and T five g. It is fast, reliable, 693 00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,040 Speaker 1: and secure, and he learned the best thing to do 694 00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:12,640 Speaker 1: is stop running and toss her the backpack with the 695 00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:16,320 Speaker 1: beef stew at and T five G fast, reliable, secure, 696 00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:19,680 Speaker 1: It's not complicated.

Isaiah Stanback, Patrick 731 00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:31,240 Speaker 1: Nose Walker, Chris mean Him in the backup, Kyle Yeoman's 732 00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:34,160 Speaker 1: Glad you're with us. Let's wrap things up by talking secondary. 733 00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:38,120 Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb, with a career game last week, came the 734 00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:42,239 Speaker 1: fifth Cowboys receiver in franchise history to have at least 735 00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:45,319 Speaker 1: ten receptions, at least one hundred and fifty yards and 736 00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:49,000 Speaker 1: two touchdowns in a single game, only the fifth one 737 00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:51,680 Speaker 1: to ever do so. Had a career game with eleven 738 00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:54,720 Speaker 1: receptions one hundred and fifty yards in those two scores. Isaiah, 739 00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:57,279 Speaker 1: when you look at the secondary of Minnesota, how can 740 00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:01,560 Speaker 1: Dallas have some success in the passing game? Be patient? Yeah, 741 00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:03,359 Speaker 1: they got to be patient to work their way down 742 00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:05,919 Speaker 1: the field. These guys are playing single high cover three 743 00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:07,839 Speaker 1: most of the time, and they're really just allowing their 744 00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:11,560 Speaker 1: underneath coverage to keep everything at bay. They are probably 745 00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:14,319 Speaker 1: the one one of the most I'll go out there 746 00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:16,839 Speaker 1: on the limb, the most patient defense that Dallas has 747 00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:20,280 Speaker 1: faced this year, meaning that they're gonna play soft coverage. 748 00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:22,520 Speaker 1: Let you get things in front. They don't want you 749 00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:25,080 Speaker 1: behind them. They really don't want you behind them at all. 750 00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:29,640 Speaker 1: And Kellen Moore is going to be challenged to play 751 00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:36,080 Speaker 1: really Minnesota's version Minnesota's style of offense, which is West 752 00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:39,480 Speaker 1: Coast take the underneath routes, work your way down the field, 753 00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:43,239 Speaker 1: run the ball, long sustained drives like they're okay doing that. 754 00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:48,480 Speaker 1: And because Minnesota plays so physical, it starts to wear 755 00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:50,239 Speaker 1: on you. And I know you guys are talking about 756 00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:51,960 Speaker 1: some of the turnovers to some of these teams have 757 00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:55,520 Speaker 1: had committed against them. Well, after a while, you get 758 00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:58,080 Speaker 1: tired of getting hit, you know what I'm saying, Like 759 00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:00,280 Speaker 1: that hope for the duration the game. You start feeling 760 00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:01,640 Speaker 1: those hits, and all of a sudden you start saying, 761 00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:03,560 Speaker 1: to screw this man, let's let's try to take this 762 00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:05,799 Speaker 1: thing over the top. And that's when you start having 763 00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:08,319 Speaker 1: us and you know, guys start trying to do too 764 00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:10,399 Speaker 1: much with their yak yardists and trying to start making 765 00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:12,600 Speaker 1: plays because they just want to hurry him and scoring. 766 00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:14,560 Speaker 1: And Minnesota's like, oh, that's what we've been waiting on. 767 00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:19,840 Speaker 1: Thank you, do your job. And again, I'm going to 768 00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:23,200 Speaker 1: beat this drum until we see it consistently a thing. 769 00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:26,239 Speaker 1: But you gotta keep running the ball. But not just that. 770 00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:28,120 Speaker 1: And when I say keep running the ball, obviously don't 771 00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:29,359 Speaker 1: mean to do it one hundred percent of the time. 772 00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:33,280 Speaker 1: Rewind the sick the episode and you'll hear what we're saying, 773 00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:36,040 Speaker 1: running the ball to establish it, and then you'll be 774 00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:37,640 Speaker 1: able to get the play action off and that's going 775 00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:41,280 Speaker 1: to keep these these safeties. And you know Harrison Smith, 776 00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:45,880 Speaker 1: for example, four interceptions, seven past deflections, Patrick Peterson future 777 00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:49,239 Speaker 1: Hall of Famer, three interceptions, twelve pass deflections. They can 778 00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:52,640 Speaker 1: both cover and take the ball away. You have to 779 00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:55,240 Speaker 1: make sure that you're picking your spots and you're picking 780 00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:57,640 Speaker 1: them wisely. But you can't just go out thinking you're 781 00:41:57,640 --> 00:41:59,600 Speaker 1: going to pitch it all over the field against this team, 782 00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:01,960 Speaker 1: because you're gonna pay for that. You're going to pay 783 00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:03,600 Speaker 1: for that. You have to get them guessing. You have 784 00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:05,279 Speaker 1: to get them trying to figure out is it a run, 785 00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:07,680 Speaker 1: is it a pass? If it is a pass, who's 786 00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:09,680 Speaker 1: it going to is it to Dalton up the team 787 00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:12,879 Speaker 1: or oh my god, I see Ferguson and Hindershot Will. 788 00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:14,960 Speaker 1: Maybe they don't respect those two guys yet, and then 789 00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,160 Speaker 1: you can make them pay for that. They're obviously going 790 00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:19,279 Speaker 1: to shade a lot of attention to Ceedee Lamb. I 791 00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:21,160 Speaker 1: think this is going to have to be a big 792 00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:23,920 Speaker 1: game for Michael Gallup. I wouldn't be surprised if ceedee 793 00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:26,439 Speaker 1: lamb ends up with which will still be a good game, 794 00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:29,520 Speaker 1: you know, sixty five seventy yard game, and then Michael 795 00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:32,920 Speaker 1: Gallop ends up being one hundred yard receiver. So however 796 00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:36,560 Speaker 1: you scheme it up, it has to be executed wisely. 797 00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:39,520 Speaker 1: Because that's another thing about it, and we talked about 798 00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:42,880 Speaker 1: it in between segments. I can't shake the fact that 799 00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:46,080 Speaker 1: that Minnesota keeps and this is not to take away 800 00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:47,560 Speaker 1: from them being a good team, because they are a 801 00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:50,600 Speaker 1: very good team. Good teams find ways to win, but 802 00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:53,200 Speaker 1: a lot of the ways they're winning is because of 803 00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:56,040 Speaker 1: late game errors by other teams. Look at what happened 804 00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:59,239 Speaker 1: in Buffalo Josh Allen and the box snap at the 805 00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:01,719 Speaker 1: back end of the four quartered in the interception in overtime. 806 00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:04,200 Speaker 1: You look at the Washington Commanders game, you know, the 807 00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:07,800 Speaker 1: late game penalty against a rookie fifth round pick in 808 00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:11,480 Speaker 1: former Cowboy John Ridgeway, and then Taylor Honeyke makes a mistake. 809 00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:16,920 Speaker 1: If the Cowboys can play efficient, mistake free football predicated 810 00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:19,319 Speaker 1: upon the run that then sets up the past, they 811 00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:23,839 Speaker 1: will win this game. Gotta make it happen. Gotta make 812 00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:26,000 Speaker 1: it happen. It's gotten. It starts with the run.
