The Cowboys get 0:01:25.440 --> 0:01:27.600 their fourth win of the year.

However, it does show. 0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:41.360 Why we love the sport of football, why we play 0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:46.520 the games, and why winning is so much fun. Thirty 0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:48.840 four to twenty six. You take down a division rival, 0:01:49.160 --> 0:01:51.680 you do so in wild fashion. I mean this was 0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:54.480 a three to three game at halftime. It ends up 0:01:54.680 --> 0:01:57.360 with thirty one points for the Cowboys. It ends up 0:01:57.400 --> 0:02:00.840 with twenty three points for the commander's fifty one combined 0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:03.920 points or fifty four combined points between the two of them. 0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:06.360 Sure enough, you end up on top and you get 0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:08.200 win number four. I know half of the fan base 0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:10.760 wants a drive pick. We told you on talking Cowboys before. 0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:14.000 We ain't about that, not about that tank life. Nah, 0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:14.800 that's not the case. 0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:17.360 Cowboys get the win, and it was a whole lot 0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:17.960 of fun to watch. 0:02:17.960 --> 0:02:22.000 Pat. Listen you saying it with your. 0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:27.640 Chest mustards on the beat, mustard on the beat. 0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:28.799 Listen, it is one thing. 0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:31.640 It is one thing to get a win, especially when 0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:34.839 you're when that win ends a five game losing streak, right, 0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:39.760 But to do it on the road against a longtime 0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:44.480 bitter divisional foe who had the audacity, the nerve, the 0:02:44.680 --> 0:02:48.840 unmitigated gall to say you wanted Dallas. 0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:52.640 Three weeks ago after you beat the Giants. 0:02:54.160 --> 0:02:56.160 Let's not get carried away. We played them this week. 0:02:56.200 --> 0:02:56.440 Guys. 0:02:56.560 --> 0:03:00.679 No, no, what I'm saying, Okay, okay, I don't want to. 0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:02.079 I don't want to. I don't want the same thing 0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:02.960 to happen to us. 0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:06.160 Point being, you called out like you said in the 0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:09.440 you called out the Cowboys as if the Cowboys weren't 0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:11.760 already going through some things, so calling out the Cowboys 0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:13.239 at that point, it's like, what were you doing? 0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:14.760 But careful what you wish for. 0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:18.840 Cowboys went up there at Northwest Stadium, and I cannot 0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:22.480 say enough about the defense. I know, things got unbelievably 0:03:22.560 --> 0:03:25.280 crazy in the fourth quarter. I said on Twitter and 0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:26.959 Blue Sky last night, I was like, it felt like 0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:28.920 a fever dream, Like I felt like I was going 0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:30.799 to wake up at any moment, and as it turns out, 0:03:30.800 --> 0:03:33.560 I was dying from malaria and none of that actually 0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:35.400 happened in real life. 0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:38.920 But no, I get what you're saying, though. 0:03:39.560 --> 0:03:41.760 It was like a halation exactly right. 0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:48.200 Unicorns and you know, tripping balls, so one of those situations. 0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:52.640 So but outside of that, man, the defense came to play. 0:03:53.760 --> 0:03:56.840 I mean they came to play smash mouth football and 0:03:56.880 --> 0:03:59.680 that was the best defensive effort of the season. For 0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:05.320 the two interceptions, fumble recovery, four sacks. Everybody was involved. 0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:07.960 Shouts out to Josh Butler, you go into this game. 0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:11.920 Happy birthday to Josh Butler's well you come out in 0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:15.640 this game. You Treyvon Diggs, he's ruled out. Darron Bland 0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:17.919 first game back probably going to be some rust and 0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:20.600 he's gonna be on the pitch count. Kaitln Carson made inactive. 0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:22.320 And then you look at what was happening on the 0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:25.479 offensive line, Tyler Smith and Zach Martin. Everybody's like, oh, 0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:28.000 commanders are going to run through this team, And you know, 0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:30.400 rightfully it was. It was a stance to have. It 0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:34.160 was a lot of adversity. Cowboys locker room. Those guys 0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:35.240 were not having any of it. 0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:35.520 Man. 0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:39.120 They stood up, they stood tall, and they gave the 0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:43.120 Cowboys offense chance after chance after chance after chance. They 0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:46.080 fought through exhaustion. Normally they get gassed in the third quarter. 0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:50.560 That there was no third quarter implosion for the defense, so. 0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:51.800 You thought maybe there might be. 0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:54.599 Absolutely first, this was a defensive they tried in the 0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:55.240 fourth quarter. 0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:57.360 Yeah, they know what they made. 0:04:57.400 --> 0:05:01.200 They tried. They gave it, you know, the old college tribe. 0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:03.920 But no, man, seriously, man shouts out to this locker room, 0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:06.919 shouts out to this coaching staff, and yeah, it was 0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:10.240 fun to watch and being there in person, seeing that 0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:12.800 I've never experienced a football game like that in my life. 0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:15.760 No, I don't even want to wax poetic on it. 0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:18.680 You just needed that win so badly, So like, who 0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:19.720 cares about a draft pick? 0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:19.920 Man? 0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:22.760 And I think I said this on the air on Friday, 0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:24.600 is that more than anything? 0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:26.200 Just win the dang ball game, man? 0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:28.279 And you got to think that there was a chip 0:05:28.279 --> 0:05:31.039 on Mike McCarthy's shoulder to go out there against dan 0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:34.520 Quinn and get a win. And part of me is like, Okay, 0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:37.159 I loved what Mike McCarthy did. I said he needed 0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:38.320 to get in his back in this one. 0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:40.839 So it's like, all right, what has been our Achilles 0:05:40.920 --> 0:05:41.680 hill on defense? 0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:46.120 You know, since dan Quinn was a defensive coordinator and 0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:49.920 it's a run defense, stopping right, stopping the run? What'd 0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:53.600 you decide to do as Mike McCarthy and the Dallas Cowboys, 0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:56.240 but run the dang ball as much as you can 0:05:56.680 --> 0:05:58.600 with our boy? 0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:05.440 Did you do it? 0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:06.719 There? 0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:06.960 It did? 0:06:10.600 --> 0:06:14.680 So you got him And not that he kills him. 0:06:14.600 --> 0:06:15.039 On the ground. 0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:16.720 He didn't do a sa Quon Barkley and run for 0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:18.320 two hundred and fifty five yards. 0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:18.560 On the ground. 0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:19.719 That was wild too. 0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:20.599 He didn't do that. 0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:21.400 He didn't do that. 0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:24.720 But the Dallas Cowboys, the the intent was there, We're 0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:27.040 gonna run the ball down your throat and we're gonna. 0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:28.120 Smash mouth our way. 0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:32.400 This this entire game, you saw it from Cooper Rush. Dude, 0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:36.040 Cooper Rush being decisive, being careful with the football, and 0:06:36.120 --> 0:06:41.920 being able to manage, not just manage, but overperform as 0:06:41.960 --> 0:06:45.160 Cooper Rush does right it this game. 0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:49.159 That's this, this small sample size of this game. It 0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:50.479 was just great to see, man, it was. 0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:50.840 It was. 0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:55.080 It was uplifting almost, you know, like I felt emotional 0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:57.800 at the end of that game. Granted, while you let 0:06:57.960 --> 0:07:01.760 emotionally white, yes, you let scary Terry get them back 0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:05.880 into the game. However, all that considered, I you know, 0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:09.160 as soon as kman de Turpin, come on, de Turpin Man, 0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:09.840 as soon. 0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:11.080 As I'm gonna let you say it, go ahead and 0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:11.560 say it. Man. 0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:16.040 Oh the people have said, they've said, because you know, 0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:18.320 Beam is trying to get his his nickname off. 0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:25.080 That's fine, Patrick Turtmanian Devil is that that's Beamer's nickname, Torpedo, Torpedo. 0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:25.800 That's a good one. 0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:27.160 He's trying to get Torpedo. 0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:30.440 To Turmanian Devil. After that spin move, that was good. 0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:31.960 That was because that was a nasty. 0:07:31.640 --> 0:07:34.040 One, Turbo Turp, I've seen that that's a good one too. 0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:36.080 But do you know what I saw in my mentions 0:07:36.320 --> 0:07:38.000 all day yesterday. 0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:42.760 I saw it hurt Trvy speed speed. 0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:46.320 Baby, come on, that's gonna be hard to beat. 0:07:46.240 --> 0:07:47.400 Turkey Turby speed Speed. 0:07:47.520 --> 0:07:47.960 It's just. 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:54.160 That spin move absolutely won the game. Wars Man shouts him, 0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:54.880 shouts everybody. 0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:57.520 I mentions for for throwing out Turvy speed speed and 0:07:57.560 --> 0:07:58.960 in the in the pre game and the post game. 0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:01.160 Yeah, I hit it in the high. Don't you worry? 0:08:01.200 --> 0:08:03.280 Oh god, I say that one. Oh yeah, I got you. 0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:06.480 That's the thing, though, is like every time Turpin does anything, 0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:08.280 it's all of our mentions. 0:08:08.640 --> 0:08:10.520 Don't worry, Tommy, You're not a mute. 0:08:12.000 --> 0:08:12.160 Mention. 0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:16.000 Let's go Turpy Turpy speeds be it is a movement. 0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:16.840 Don't fight it. 0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:18.280 Don't fight it over. 0:08:20.440 --> 0:08:20.920 Exactly. 0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:24.320 It's not good on purpose. It just makes sense, it does. 0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:26.280 You know. It's just so good. 0:08:26.360 --> 0:08:28.240 You heard Joe Davis in the middle of the call 0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:32.280 as he was scoring fastest man in the NFL. 0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:36.760 Which factually this year he hated it. So it was fun. 0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:38.000 It was a lot of fun about. 0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:41.840 Look, I mean, we talk about and we've asked people 0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:44.080 have asked McCarthy this they asked players this all the time, 0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:47.240 the must win games question, right, like, is it a 0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:49.840 must win game? When you look at this and you 0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:52.720 take it eleven point lead with five minutes and sixteen 0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:55.920 seconds left to go, get punched back two minutes later, 0:08:56.480 --> 0:08:58.800 then punched right back immediately, and you go back up 0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:00.960 by ten with two forty nine. You're feeling really good, 0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:03.600 and then you give up ten unanswered in less than 0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:06.560 two minutes. If this game had gone to overtime and 0:09:06.600 --> 0:09:10.520 the Cowboys drop this game, you just wonder what that 0:09:10.559 --> 0:09:13.959 would have done meant, that would have been incredibly mentally draining. 0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:15.680 The good part, though, is we don't have to worry 0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:18.800 about that the course exactly exactly. 0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:21.160 But this just shows this is a gritty win, and 0:09:21.200 --> 0:09:23.520 this is one that this locker room I feel like. 0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:26.760 Really really really needed. 0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:30.000 And going back to your point about Rico, he doesn't 0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:32.040 have to run for one hundred and fifty yards a game. 0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:34.880 He just has to do enough to set up the 0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:37.600 passing game, because let's be honest, this Cowboys offense isn't 0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:40.200 reliant on the run. Now, this is not a running offense. 0:09:40.240 --> 0:09:42.400 It's not their identity. It never was going to be 0:09:42.480 --> 0:09:44.640 this year So if you open the door for Cooper 0:09:44.720 --> 0:09:45.960 Rush to do what he did and throw for two 0:09:46.040 --> 0:09:48.319 hundred and forty seven yards and two touchdowns, this is 0:09:48.360 --> 0:09:49.960 a much better team. And I think you saw that. 0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:51.920 You obviously want to see the defense play all four 0:09:52.000 --> 0:09:55.079 quarters and not let Terry mclaurin's score with twenty one 0:09:55.160 --> 0:09:58.760 seconds left to play in the game, But you take 0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:00.680 your win. I think this was Mike zimmer best game 0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:04.280 as a defensive coordinator with the Cowboys, absolutely throughout the 0:10:04.320 --> 0:10:06.400 majority of the game, obviously that last stretch. 0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:10.679 But I'll also come out on the winning side of that. 0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:11.160 You take it. 0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:14.280 I'll also add this because one of the the crux 0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:16.920 of my argument as far as the outfit in twenty 0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:21.480 four being unsavory for Cooper Russ versus the outfit he 0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:24.120 stepped into in twenty twenty two, it was the offensive line. 0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:27.480 Brock Hoffman and TJ. Bass step to. 0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:32.280 The front of the line, Sir's fantastic performance by those 0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:35.280 two young men and Cooper BB is gussy asolutely. 0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:36.920 One pressure was it? One? 0:10:37.000 --> 0:10:39.880 Zero pressures for Cooper BB. One pressure each for Hoffman 0:10:40.280 --> 0:10:40.840 and Bass. 0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:41.160 Wow. 0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:43.240 And they were both in the second half too, not 0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:45.079 in the first half when you were trying to establish 0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:45.400 a rhythm. 0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:46.439 They were both in the second. 0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:48.600 Half and that was against the defensive line in Washington 0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:50.840 that we came in and yeah, we came in and 0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:52.920 we gave them there there Rose It said this is 0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:55.280 one of the better defensive lines in the NFL, and 0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:58.079 that is still true. But those two young men stepped 0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:01.320 in and the absence of two all rolls and just 0:11:01.559 --> 0:11:05.120 handled business. It allowed Cooper Rush time back there in 0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:07.600 the pocket to go through his reads and get comfortable. 0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:09.960 Then once Cooper Rush got comfortable, Yes, it took a 0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:13.440 while because the first half offense, first three quarters was 0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:17.240 a mix of inaccuracy. But then when he was accurate, 0:11:17.480 --> 0:11:21.360 there were some drops. Right, But then Tom, you talk 0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:23.719 about punching back. Jaylen Tobert has the early drop or 0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:25.320 does he give you in the third quarter your first 0:11:25.320 --> 0:11:29.400 third quarter touchdown of the season, right, Jaalen offensive touchdown 0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:31.720 of the season. Yeah, that's wild to say that, right, 0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:34.240 Jalen Brooks didn't have a great first half, What does 0:11:34.280 --> 0:11:36.640 he give you a critical forty. 0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:39.640 Plus yard catch down sound line? Massive? Right? 0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:41.520 He ended up in three points before the break. 0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:44.440 These guys have just been battling the resilience in this 0:11:44.520 --> 0:11:48.079 one game is mind blowing to show. So when everybody, 0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:50.600 not everybody, but when a lot of fans outside the building, 0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:52.959 they've been wondering, has Mike McCarthy lost the locker room 0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:55.200 and we kept saying no, has has you know, have 0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:56.040 these guys checked out? 0:11:56.080 --> 0:11:56.800 And we kept saying no. 0:11:56.960 --> 0:11:59.000 Talk about the play from CD Lamb it was a 0:11:59.080 --> 0:12:01.080 DPI on nug but. 0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:04.079 After that stood out. After he looks at the rough 0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:05.000 like where's my flag? 0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:07.120 And then it clicks, He's like, man, whatever, I got 0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:08.680 to get this play back. He goes, he hit some 0:12:08.679 --> 0:12:11.200 forces of the fumble, hundred licky covers and like I told 0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:13.480 CD last night, I was like, you know what, that 0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:17.559 penalty negated the play, but the message scent can't be negated, 0:12:17.640 --> 0:12:21.440 no doubt, effort, resiliency, That's what this glocker room. 0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:23.640 From Week two CD to Week twelve CD. 0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:26.120 It's the growth for me, that's growth. 0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:28.120 Yes, I just want to see it start that way 0:12:28.200 --> 0:12:28.600 next year. 0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:30.520 Of course, as it kind of happened last year too, 0:12:30.559 --> 0:12:32.199 where it was a little shaky at the beginning and 0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:32.760 then it got. 0:12:32.600 --> 0:12:34.560 Better and better. I would like to see it start 0:12:34.559 --> 0:12:35.120 in week one. 0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:36.120 Next maybe a training camp. 0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:36.959 Might know that would be. 0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:40.360 Great, that would I think that sprinkled that it would 0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:43.920 make out Now. I thought another play that stood out 0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:45.400 was juan Ya Thomas. 0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:48.959 Yes, sir, and man, I know both the returns. 0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:52.160 Both the returns. I didn't love the on site kick return. 0:12:52.200 --> 0:12:54.199 That's not really what I'm talking about here. You gotta 0:12:54.240 --> 0:12:56.240 go down there. I know it was your first touchdown. 0:12:56.320 --> 0:12:57.719 I get it, special ball. 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:00.360 He's done. 0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:02.120 And I would say the same thing the CD ye 0:13:02.240 --> 0:13:03.520 gotta go down, gotta go down. 0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:06.439 You gotta know the game situation, so down, make it happen. 0:13:06.520 --> 0:13:09.120 We saw it and I was watching a college game 0:13:09.120 --> 0:13:11.680 this week and the running back had a wide open 0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:13.640 lane to the end zone and he slid down to 0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:17.160 secure a win. Lots of things happened at the end 0:13:17.160 --> 0:13:19.600 for the Cowboys, so it was crazy Yanye Thomas decided 0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:20.880 to cross the coal line. But I'm going to go 0:13:20.920 --> 0:13:24.000 further back the two point conversion. Jaden Daniels was rolling 0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:27.520 out on the bootleg right and it was a designed run. 0:13:27.840 --> 0:13:29.640 He was trying to find a window and there were 0:13:29.720 --> 0:13:32.800 layers to the defense. Donovan Wilson did not set the edge, 0:13:32.880 --> 0:13:35.040 but then there was a second guy on the outside 0:13:35.120 --> 0:13:38.360 that it was yan Ye Thomas did not set the edge. 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:40.880 Michael Parsons was a free runner and it was designed 0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:43.800 to be a free runner to get to Jade and Daniels, 0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:46.680 but he was impeded because yan Ye Thomas did not 0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:49.320 set the corner the way that he should have set 0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:51.560 that edge and allow for Michael Parsons to run free 0:13:51.600 --> 0:13:54.640 to the quarterback. You saw MICA's reaction turn around, He's 0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:57.079 jumping up and down, He's clapping. He would he was 0:13:57.120 --> 0:14:00.760 talking to jan Ye Thomas. One snap later on the 0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:03.800 kick return for Cavante Turpin. You talked about the ups 0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:06.319 and downs Tommy a moment ago where it was, oh, 0:14:06.360 --> 0:14:08.640 they get punched and punched and counter punched him back 0:14:08.679 --> 0:14:10.240 and forth that play. 0:14:10.760 --> 0:14:12.319 Who do you see leading the. 0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:15.920 Charge for Cavante Turpin in the right place, at the 0:14:16.000 --> 0:14:18.760 right time and with all the effort you've ever. 0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:21.120 Seen from an individual on a kick return. It was 0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:22.200 Yanye Thomas. 0:14:22.560 --> 0:14:25.800 So I think the way that you see that there's 0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:28.560 learning moments on every snap for this Cowboys team, and 0:14:28.600 --> 0:14:31.040 even in a win, there's a lot that they're gonna 0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:34.400 go back to and they're gonna say, we can't do that. Anymore, 0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:36.840 and they probably will still do it as the season 0:14:36.840 --> 0:14:38.840 goes along, because, like we've talked about, this is not 0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:41.440 a very good football team right this second. But the 0:14:41.520 --> 0:14:44.240 effort was very good on Sunday, and that's all you 0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:45.760 can ask for in that specific. 0:14:45.680 --> 0:14:48.760 And not only was the effort sensational, but this this 0:14:48.880 --> 0:14:50.880 was some of the best execution I've seen. I Mean, 0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:53.760 you talk about guys like Eric Kendricks, and we already 0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:56.360 know what demarveyon Ovashon is. He just continues to show 0:14:56.400 --> 0:14:58.440 what he is. But when you go down even the 0:14:58.440 --> 0:15:02.320 defensive line, Chauncey go Chauncey Ghoston left to get an 0:15:02.360 --> 0:15:05.000 IV put in his arm because he was suffering from dehydration, 0:15:05.640 --> 0:15:08.600 and suddenly he comes back and he snatching an interception 0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:11.800 away from Brian Robinson for his first career interception. Asked 0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:13.760 about it after the game, Chauncea Ghosting was like, I 0:15:13.800 --> 0:15:16.120 didn't even know it was an interception. I was just 0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:19.320 playing for the football was there, so I took it. 0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:23.080 And that's how the Cowboys did yesterday at Northwest Stadium. 0:15:23.160 --> 0:15:24.840 They saw football and they took it. 0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:28.200 But you saw them creating turnovers to like very unlike 0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:32.200 the cat Dallas Cowboys defense this year forcing fumbles like 0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:35.280 Donovan Wilson had one of his best games and while 0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:39.880 also too, by the way, shocking shockingly enough, right, who 0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:41.680 was the Scarytory touchdown on? 0:15:41.720 --> 0:15:41.880 Was that? 0:15:41.960 --> 0:15:43.720 More so Josh Butler, who had a great game, to 0:15:43.800 --> 0:15:44.400 be fair. 0:15:44.280 --> 0:15:49.600 So I think it was a breakdown everybody. Yeah, Jay 0:15:49.680 --> 0:15:54.000 Lou was up and he let Terry McLaurin over the top, 0:15:54.400 --> 0:15:57.400 and I think it's because he thought Butler was there 0:15:57.480 --> 0:16:00.320 almost boundary, and I think Butler got a little too 0:16:00.320 --> 0:16:03.880 far inside and scary Terry just went to space deliver 0:16:03.920 --> 0:16:04.320 the grave and. 0:16:04.600 --> 0:16:07.240 That was a dot of a throw into that coverage. 0:16:07.360 --> 0:16:08.880 So I think it was bad. I think it was 0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:12.680 busted coverage and then doing scary Terry things. 0:16:12.960 --> 0:16:18.280 Yeah, the one gaff on defense, the one, Yeah, that 0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:19.000 was that was one. 0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:20.200 The one that was a big one. 0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:21.400 That was a big one. It was a big one. 0:16:21.400 --> 0:16:24.600 That But you know what, I love what Michael said 0:16:24.640 --> 0:16:27.240 after the game. You know, I asked him about the 0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:30.400 defensive effort and and showing more than just a couple 0:16:30.440 --> 0:16:32.840 of quarters and fighting through the exhaustion, and he was 0:16:32.920 --> 0:16:36.000 and immediately he was like, we can't have what happened 0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:37.000 at the back end of that game. 0:16:37.160 --> 0:16:37.560 We can't. 0:16:37.560 --> 0:16:39.240 We can't the first question, right, He was like, we 0:16:39.240 --> 0:16:41.560 can't rely on a missed field goal. We got to 0:16:41.560 --> 0:16:43.880 seal the game as the defense. When we can't seal 0:16:43.960 --> 0:16:47.160 the game period, bottom line, Mamba mentality, that's what I 0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:47.720 like to see. 0:16:47.880 --> 0:16:48.320 Let's go. 0:16:48.440 --> 0:16:51.800 But you gotta love the defensive performance overall. That one play. Yeah, 0:16:52.000 --> 0:16:53.760 I mean, that was just, that was just. 0:16:54.000 --> 0:16:56.880 They were only the only reason they were in the 0:16:56.960 --> 0:16:59.640 game for any of that to matter, laid in the 0:16:59.640 --> 0:17:02.000 full court. It was because of the defensive effort with 0:17:02.000 --> 0:17:03.600 the majority of the game preceding there. 0:17:03.720 --> 0:17:06.200 And you talk about like the third quarter collapse. I 0:17:06.200 --> 0:17:07.800 think we've talked about it quite a bit. It's like 0:17:07.840 --> 0:17:11.320 how often that becomes just a nightmare quarter for the Cowboys. 0:17:11.320 --> 0:17:14.080 But you and it started to come to fruition their 0:17:14.119 --> 0:17:17.440 first drive, Washington goes down, scores scores right away, and 0:17:17.480 --> 0:17:18.159 you're like, here. 0:17:18.000 --> 0:17:20.600 It is, here we go here, we go in the 0:17:20.640 --> 0:17:21.040 wrong way. 0:17:22.480 --> 0:17:25.560 And we're not talking about Tommy Yrsh's fantastic audicle here. 0:17:25.600 --> 0:17:26.320 No, no, no, thank you. 0:17:26.800 --> 0:17:28.960 They won the third quarter yesterday. When was the last 0:17:29.000 --> 0:17:29.760 time they did that? 0:17:30.320 --> 0:17:34.480 Pland literally probably maybe that was it. 0:17:34.760 --> 0:17:36.200 Did they went third quarter? Yeah? 0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:39.200 I think that because the one touchdown that they didn't 0:17:39.200 --> 0:17:42.000 have in the third quarter was the Cavante Turpin sixty 0:17:42.840 --> 0:17:43.640 return in that game. 0:17:43.760 --> 0:17:44.720 So I think they scored. 0:17:44.720 --> 0:17:47.639 It tends to score, doesn't he. 0:17:47.840 --> 0:17:48.959 Yeah. 0:17:48.760 --> 0:17:52.960 So I posted a screenshot of that play. Turpin has 0:17:53.000 --> 0:17:55.800 his foot in the ground and his back turn to 0:17:55.840 --> 0:17:59.600 the defense at the ten yard line, with four defenders 0:17:59.600 --> 0:18:01.639 within fi ive yards of him, a guy on the 0:18:01.800 --> 0:18:05.800 edge too, How on earth does he score from there? 0:18:06.440 --> 0:18:09.560 I mean, that is a special player. Unbelievable, that is. 0:18:10.160 --> 0:18:12.880 That's Listen, our good friend what's his name? 0:18:12.960 --> 0:18:16.240 Oh, Kyle Yeoman's put a fantastic tweet up yesterday, But 0:18:16.320 --> 0:18:17.000 it's your stats. 0:18:17.000 --> 0:18:17.960 I'm gonna let you read it. 0:18:18.480 --> 0:18:22.240 Yeah, Cavante Turpin fifth player since the NFL merger to 0:18:22.320 --> 0:18:25.760 have a punt return touchdown, a kick return touchdown, and 0:18:25.800 --> 0:18:29.240 a sixty plus yard receiving touchdown in the same season. 0:18:29.240 --> 0:18:30.120 Who are those other guys? 0:18:30.359 --> 0:18:31.760 Well, he's the first one to do it since two 0:18:31.800 --> 0:18:33.720 thousand and seven. And the guy who did it in 0:18:33.720 --> 0:18:35.920 two thousand and seven his name was Devin Hester, who's 0:18:36.000 --> 0:18:41.639 now Hall of Famer. Oh no, not Yeah, two thousand 0:18:41.640 --> 0:18:43.600 and two and two thousand and three. Dante Hall did 0:18:43.640 --> 0:18:47.199 it in back to back years. Buddy Terrence Wilkins did 0:18:47.240 --> 0:18:49.479 it for Indianapolis back in nineteen ninety nine and then 0:18:49.560 --> 0:18:52.800 nineteen seventy seven. Billy Johnson Sweet Shoot did it for 0:18:52.840 --> 0:18:53.920 the Houston Oilers. 0:18:54.400 --> 0:18:55.440 Listen, man, pretty wild. 0:18:55.440 --> 0:18:57.480 When you are in the same company as Devin Hester 0:18:57.600 --> 0:18:59.800 and Dante Hall, you might be. 0:18:59.640 --> 0:19:01.120 Playing very good at football. 0:19:01.200 --> 0:19:02.480 It's very good at football. 0:19:02.520 --> 0:19:03.080 That is elite. 0:19:03.200 --> 0:19:05.960 And I think we've talked about it on the show before. 0:19:06.119 --> 0:19:08.320 I talked about it whenever he had the sixty four yarder. 0:19:08.640 --> 0:19:10.720 There's other ways to get him involved. Got to get 0:19:10.720 --> 0:19:13.200 creative and getting him involved because he was not involved 0:19:13.200 --> 0:19:14.280 offensively in this game. 0:19:14.440 --> 0:19:18.680 Y one catch, one catch at all exactly.

Where it was two very different 0:19:39.520 --> 0:19:42.280 game plans. He finally found a middle ground and had 0:19:42.320 --> 0:19:44.359 some success against the Washington. 0:19:43.960 --> 0:19:46.320 Commanders more talking cowboys right after this. 0:19:47.720 --> 0:19:51.680 If you're looking for fresh American roasted coffee that gives back, 0:19:51.880 --> 0:19:54.119 you need to head to your local grocery store and 0:19:54.200 --> 0:19:57.200 pick up a bag of Black Rifle Coffee.

It's done. It non place anymore, you know. 0:22:45.320 --> 0:22:47.280 And you were there, you were in the building I was, 0:22:47.320 --> 0:22:48.040 what did you think. 0:22:47.880 --> 0:22:52.400 About your first uh road rivalry game, first off road 0:22:52.480 --> 0:22:56.440 division rivalry game, and then also first road win win 0:22:56.600 --> 0:22:57.720 period for the Cowboys. 0:22:57.760 --> 0:22:58.600 How about that press box? 0:22:58.640 --> 0:23:00.320 Huh, yeah, it's something. 0:23:01.080 --> 0:23:04.360 You know, this has all been so fun and that 0:23:04.400 --> 0:23:07.040 game specifically, I mean, that's that's the craziest game I've 0:23:07.040 --> 0:23:09.040 ever seen. Crazy has finished to a game. I think, 0:23:09.400 --> 0:23:12.640 you know, pretty pretty pretty easily. I know we were 0:23:12.680 --> 0:23:16.919 talking about Cooper Rush in this segment. I mean, you know, 0:23:16.960 --> 0:23:19.520 he's never gonna I don't think wow you with anything 0:23:19.520 --> 0:23:23.480 that he does. But he was so efficient yesterday, and 0:23:23.520 --> 0:23:26.159 I think Mike McCarthy is just looking for him to 0:23:26.600 --> 0:23:29.080 manage the game. Well yep, and sometimes you know that 0:23:29.720 --> 0:23:33.840 game manager label and a quarterback is you know some 0:23:33.840 --> 0:23:35.560 some take that as an insult. I don't see it 0:23:35.600 --> 0:23:38.240 that way, because when you manage the game that well 0:23:38.280 --> 0:23:42.160 as well as Cooper Rush has done, you win ball games. 0:23:42.359 --> 0:23:44.520 And that's what the Cowboys did. So I thought he 0:23:44.640 --> 0:23:48.760 was very, very efficient. I thought he was very efficient, 0:23:48.920 --> 0:23:51.320 really good against man cover yesterday, eight of eleven for 0:23:51.320 --> 0:23:54.240 one hundred and twenty nine yards in both of his touchdowns. 0:23:54.560 --> 0:23:57.480 So you can't ask for much more and now it's 0:23:57.520 --> 0:23:59.639 just a question of can you stack that? 0:24:00.160 --> 0:24:02.680 Can you stack that? Because he made some throws yesterday. 0:24:02.680 --> 0:24:03.160 We were like. 0:24:06.240 --> 0:24:08.200 It was in tight coverage a little bit there, but 0:24:08.480 --> 0:24:10.399 you know, he doesn't turn the ball over and I 0:24:10.440 --> 0:24:11.320 think that was the biggest thing. 0:24:11.320 --> 0:24:13.000 It's big for his confidence going forward. 0:24:13.040 --> 0:24:16.440 This offense, this offense is more confidence with builds more 0:24:16.480 --> 0:24:19.200 confidence with him after that going forward. Ceedee Lamb said 0:24:19.200 --> 0:24:22.760 that after the game yesterday, so you know, and going 0:24:22.800 --> 0:24:25.600 to CD two, you know, he leads the team in 0:24:25.680 --> 0:24:29.159 receiving yards. I think his biggest play was drawing that 0:24:29.280 --> 0:24:34.000 double team on the Screenmaker touchdown because he just came wide, 0:24:34.160 --> 0:24:35.960 like Luke Schoonmaker is never going to be that open 0:24:36.000 --> 0:24:39.440 again in his life, and he does all Cede Lamb 0:24:39.480 --> 0:24:41.680 drawing the second defender away. So kudos to CD and 0:24:41.720 --> 0:24:43.919 kudos to Cooper Rush for a really good performance. 0:24:43.960 --> 0:24:46.600 Now that they got the tape on lou Schoomaker, the 0:24:46.680 --> 0:24:47.280 tape is out. 0:24:49.200 --> 0:24:51.560 When it comes to Cooper Rush yesterday, first and foremost 0:24:51.640 --> 0:24:54.320 they protected him and again, like I said, brought Kauffman, 0:24:55.040 --> 0:24:57.840 Cooper BB and TJ. Besz step to step to the 0:24:57.880 --> 0:25:01.400 center of the stage because just Bravo, bravo. I will 0:25:01.440 --> 0:25:04.640 say I need Cooper BB and Cooper Rush. I need 0:25:04.640 --> 0:25:07.040 Cooper and Cooper to get on the same paids with 0:25:07.160 --> 0:25:10.560 these to those snaps, that's three fumbled snaps. Thankfully you 0:25:10.600 --> 0:25:13.600 didn't lose this one, but that's three fumbled snaps. The 0:25:13.640 --> 0:25:16.680 first two were on Cooper Rush. But that one from 0:25:16.720 --> 0:25:18.760 Cooper BB that almost went over his head, So good 0:25:18.800 --> 0:25:21.000 job I got that down, killed that drift. 0:25:21.720 --> 0:25:23.680 But what did Cooper Rush do Differently? 0:25:23.720 --> 0:25:25.879 He got protection, so he had time back there, he 0:25:25.920 --> 0:25:28.359 was able to go through his reads. But more importantly, 0:25:28.440 --> 0:25:31.240 or say equally as important, is what do we talk 0:25:31.280 --> 0:25:35.600 about Cole and Josh. We talked about air yards right 0:25:36.160 --> 0:25:38.560 going into this game. Cooper Rush was O for nine 0:25:38.800 --> 0:25:41.879 and passes of twenty yards or greater. He was not 0:25:42.040 --> 0:25:43.280 pushing the issue. 0:25:43.320 --> 0:25:43.560 Now. 0:25:43.640 --> 0:25:46.680 It was also tied to the fact he didn't have protection. Sure, 0:25:46.800 --> 0:25:48.760 but in times where he did have protection, he was 0:25:48.800 --> 0:25:51.600 still checking it down and even when not going to 0:25:51.640 --> 0:25:54.800 the line of game, throwing too far short of the chain, 0:25:54.880 --> 0:25:56.560 so forth and so on. We didn't see that as 0:25:56.640 --> 0:25:59.240 much yesterday, particularly in the fourth quarter when the third 0:25:59.320 --> 0:26:01.240 quarter actually went and they really started to kind of 0:26:01.480 --> 0:26:04.600 come along two for two. He had two shots of 0:26:04.960 --> 0:26:09.000 beyond twenty yards completed, both of those completion percentage above 0:26:09.040 --> 0:26:12.240 expectation almost sixty percent. 0:26:12.400 --> 0:26:16.600 On those two throws. Fan freakingantastic. 0:26:16.760 --> 0:26:20.160 So, now, if you're talking about an offense that protects 0:26:20.240 --> 0:26:23.480 Cooper Rush and gives him an opportunity to look downfield 0:26:23.800 --> 0:26:26.680 and receivers who are going to make those throws outside 0:26:26.720 --> 0:26:29.119 of the city, make those catches outside of the CD lamb. 0:26:29.400 --> 0:26:32.040 Now you're cooking with something also mixing in Rico o'dowdo 0:26:32.160 --> 0:26:33.480 being that stabilizing force. 0:26:33.880 --> 0:26:36.679 Just very quickly, you see what happens for an offense 0:26:36.720 --> 0:26:38.280 when your offensive line plays well? 0:26:38.359 --> 0:26:38.800 Who knew? 0:26:40.040 --> 0:26:40.200 Who? 0:26:40.400 --> 0:26:43.160 You see what happens when wait, I have only said 0:26:43.200 --> 0:26:45.320 a million times that who knew? Games are one in 0:26:45.359 --> 0:26:47.400 the trenches. Do you see what happens when your offensive 0:26:47.760 --> 0:26:48.280 plays well? 0:26:48.320 --> 0:26:49.680 All right, I'll say, Josh. 0:26:49.520 --> 0:26:53.639 Go ahead, come down to Nate. That's not a not 0:26:53.720 --> 0:26:55.480 at all, not at all. No, you love to see 0:26:55.520 --> 0:26:56.359 it from Cooper Rush. 0:26:56.400 --> 0:26:58.959 You love to see, like you said that the snap 0:26:59.000 --> 0:27:02.000 that killed that and those unfortunate because the drive was rule. 0:27:02.200 --> 0:27:04.440 But like you saw a lot of what we've seen before, 0:27:04.480 --> 0:27:06.240 even in the losses where it's like you're getting down 0:27:06.240 --> 0:27:08.160 the field, you get in the ren zone and then 0:27:08.200 --> 0:27:12.520 it just it goes away, right especially in the first half, 0:27:12.560 --> 0:27:16.840 you saw that a bit. The blocked field goal right 0:27:16.880 --> 0:27:18.679 off the snap. To me, that was like, oh, this 0:27:18.760 --> 0:27:20.760 is the earliest indication of a loss that I've seen 0:27:20.760 --> 0:27:22.719 this year. I was like, we're gonna lose because of 0:27:22.840 --> 0:27:24.840 that right there. The fact that you were able to 0:27:24.880 --> 0:27:26.600 come back from that, You were able to come back 0:27:26.640 --> 0:27:31.399 from Ricodoubtle fumbling right into Bobby Wagner's arms, which was 0:27:31.400 --> 0:27:32.120 a crazy play. 0:27:32.119 --> 0:27:33.240 Bobby Wagner still has it. 0:27:33.320 --> 0:27:35.439 Not only the blocked field goal too, but a blocked 0:27:35.440 --> 0:27:36.200 punt as well. 0:27:36.400 --> 0:27:39.280 Blocked punt and then a miss missfield goal on top 0:27:39.320 --> 0:27:41.440 of that. One of the craziest special team games I've 0:27:41.480 --> 0:27:48.720 ever seen in my life. So you saw a lot 0:27:48.760 --> 0:27:51.760 of those miscues that have killed us over the last 0:27:51.760 --> 0:27:53.959 five weeks, and you could they kind of reared their 0:27:54.000 --> 0:27:57.040 head again. But you did see a defense that did 0:27:57.080 --> 0:28:00.720 not quit, like, no matter how poorly the offense was 0:28:00.760 --> 0:28:03.600 looking throughout the entire game up until the yeah, the 0:28:03.600 --> 0:28:07.480 third quarter, you saw defense. I was like, we don't care. Yeah, 0:28:07.680 --> 0:28:10.639 like we're not gonna relentless is what I saw from 0:28:10.680 --> 0:28:13.879 the defense. I know we weren't necessarily getting into defense 0:28:13.960 --> 0:28:16.600 quite yet, but man, it was just a site to behold. 0:28:16.600 --> 0:28:18.479 It really won't get into defense if you want to. 0:28:18.880 --> 0:28:21.040 I mean, because it was good enough to win you 0:28:21.080 --> 0:28:23.600 the game. And yeah, we've talked about that the last 0:28:23.640 --> 0:28:24.040 few weeks. 0:28:24.080 --> 0:28:28.040 Philadelphia, Houston, both of those teams. Both of those games, 0:28:28.640 --> 0:28:31.160 Dallas was down by a possession going into halftime. 0:28:31.600 --> 0:28:33.360 The defense kept it close. 0:28:33.160 --> 0:28:35.760 Enough for your offense in the third quarter to give 0:28:35.760 --> 0:28:38.480 you some sort of hope, and that hope was not 0:28:38.600 --> 0:28:41.080 there destroyed and you actually didn't end up scoring in 0:28:41.120 --> 0:28:44.800 either one of those halfs. So with all that being said, 0:28:44.840 --> 0:28:47.280 you needed both units to step up. Of course, you 0:28:47.360 --> 0:28:50.040 needed special teams at the end with Cavante Turpin, you 0:28:50.120 --> 0:28:53.120 needed all of it. All three units were crucial to 0:28:53.160 --> 0:28:55.920 winning this football game. But it started with the defense, 0:28:56.120 --> 0:28:59.640 and there were for sure. Absolutely give credit to Mike 0:28:59.680 --> 0:29:02.400 Zimmer because Mike Zimmer, we've given a lot of flak 0:29:02.480 --> 0:29:02.880 to him. 0:29:03.000 --> 0:29:04.440 We've given a lot of flak to some of the 0:29:04.440 --> 0:29:06.720 guys who stepped up in a big way quietly over 0:29:06.760 --> 0:29:07.800 these last couple of weeks. 0:29:07.840 --> 0:29:09.840 Mozzie Smith's been pretty good up front. 0:29:09.960 --> 0:29:13.680 Yeah, quietly, his name was spoken in the press box 0:29:13.760 --> 0:29:15.680 a couple of times, a couple of vacasions. 0:29:15.680 --> 0:29:17.760 Maybe it's just the division. Maybe he only plays well 0:29:17.800 --> 0:29:20.000 against the division. Who knows, But I mean that's six 0:29:20.080 --> 0:29:22.200 games out of the year. Sounds good. 0:29:21.760 --> 0:29:27.600 The defensive game plan for the third straight week worked. 0:29:27.440 --> 0:29:29.680 And I'm gonna I'm gonna qualify it by this. 0:29:30.040 --> 0:29:33.040 The game plan that's scripted early on and how you 0:29:33.160 --> 0:29:34.600 got to shut teams down. 0:29:34.880 --> 0:29:38.280 That's usually the first quarter and maybe a little bit 0:29:38.320 --> 0:29:39.200 into the second quarter. 0:29:39.840 --> 0:29:42.840 Three halves, three first halves in a row, Philly, Houston, 0:29:43.160 --> 0:29:46.880 and now Washington. Your defense is played well, if not good, 0:29:46.960 --> 0:29:50.040 And I thought they played really, really well against Washington. 0:29:50.400 --> 0:29:53.040 This was a step above those last two games, and 0:29:53.080 --> 0:29:54.360 they held it for longirth. 0:29:54.440 --> 0:29:56.560 Now Mike had talked about it that fourth quarter's got 0:29:56.560 --> 0:29:58.440 to be better. You got to close better from a 0:29:58.440 --> 0:30:01.440 defensive standpoint, but it wasn't or the lack of an 0:30:01.480 --> 0:30:04.200 effort and lack of a game plan. They shut down 0:30:04.680 --> 0:30:07.080 Jaden Daniels, who was on our offensive Rookie of the 0:30:07.160 --> 0:30:10.600 Year sort of pay pace, and then you shut down 0:30:10.640 --> 0:30:11.600 Brian Robinson junior. 0:30:11.600 --> 0:30:12.960 I know he got hurt early, but there was no 0:30:13.080 --> 0:30:15.800 Austin Eckler. He was in active for the most part. 0:30:16.080 --> 0:30:19.640 That was a huge way to keep them bottled up 0:30:19.720 --> 0:30:20.600 until the fourth quarter. 0:30:20.640 --> 0:30:22.160 And I think it was a game changer of how 0:30:22.200 --> 0:30:23.320 this football game was played. 0:30:23.440 --> 0:30:25.760 When you look at going back to your point on Mazie, 0:30:25.840 --> 0:30:28.800 I think the most impressive part for me was, you know, 0:30:28.920 --> 0:30:32.000 he had nineteen run snaps, three tackles when he was 0:30:32.080 --> 0:30:36.200 on the field. Washington was averaging four yards of carry 0:30:36.440 --> 0:30:39.960 when he was off eleven and a half. Wow yards 0:30:39.960 --> 0:30:42.560 for Kerry, So he made an impact in the run game. 0:30:42.840 --> 0:30:45.280 That was the best number on the team. That's the 0:30:45.360 --> 0:30:48.080 lowest number for anybody who played more than ten snaps 0:30:48.120 --> 0:30:50.640 in run defense. So you tip your cap to Mazzie 0:30:50.640 --> 0:30:52.600 Smith this week. 0:30:52.680 --> 0:30:53.080 There you go. 0:30:53.200 --> 0:30:56.480 It might be right, which means I. 0:30:56.400 --> 0:30:58.520 Think this will be. This was one of, if not 0:30:58.720 --> 0:31:00.800 Eric Kendricks's best game. Cowboy love it. 0:31:00.880 --> 0:31:04.760 He was every where Cleveland game though, I said one 0:31:04.840 --> 0:31:07.560 of if not, Yeah, I'm protecting myself there. 0:31:08.440 --> 0:31:09.480 He wasn't here for that. 0:31:11.120 --> 0:31:14.120 Yeah, tied for the tie for the lead in run tackles. 0:31:14.120 --> 0:31:16.360 He had six. That fumble recovery was huge. 0:31:16.840 --> 0:31:17.120 Man. 0:31:18.280 --> 0:31:19.800 You know he if he gets. 0:31:19.640 --> 0:31:22.240 It going and he's running around the field and he's himself, 0:31:22.480 --> 0:31:24.480 then this defense is really good against the run. You've 0:31:24.480 --> 0:31:26.840 got Marshawn neelan back who prides himself on being a 0:31:26.880 --> 0:31:29.680 good run defender, played well in his first game back yesterday. 0:31:29.800 --> 0:31:31.080 STAPs did he go yesterday? 0:31:31.560 --> 0:31:32.200 Run snaps? 0:31:32.200 --> 0:31:34.680 He had eight yards per play when he was on 0:31:34.720 --> 0:31:38.440 the field four point one off six point six bad so. 0:31:38.560 --> 0:31:41.280 And if we're if we're looking at that stat, Malik Hooker, 0:31:41.760 --> 0:31:44.560 get this four run tackles on twenty four run snaps 0:31:44.560 --> 0:31:47.120 when he's on the field, five point one yards per 0:31:47.120 --> 0:31:54.960 play when he was off twenty three. 0:31:53.280 --> 0:31:55.840 League Hooker is basically your run defense. 0:31:55.920 --> 0:31:58.760 That's that's basically your safety is what it is. I mean, 0:31:58.920 --> 0:32:00.040 I think the safe I think. 0:31:59.840 --> 0:32:02.320 That might have been just literally one play when he 0:32:02.480 --> 0:32:04.040 wasn't on the field and it was a twenty three 0:32:04.120 --> 0:32:04.840 yard carry. 0:32:04.720 --> 0:32:07.719 Okay, that would be I was gonna say, maybe he 0:32:07.760 --> 0:32:10.880 wasn't on the field for the for the Terry. 0:32:10.680 --> 0:32:14.120 McLaurin touchdown the eighty six yards and maybe that had 0:32:14.160 --> 0:32:16.640 the average blown out play. 0:32:16.680 --> 0:32:19.280 So it might have been that Daniel scramble. I think 0:32:19.960 --> 0:32:23.200 maybe maybe, I don't know, but nonetheless a very good 0:32:23.280 --> 0:32:26.400 game for this run defense. We talked about Josh Butler 0:32:26.520 --> 0:32:30.680 just having an absolutely incredible performance. Uh, you know, Terry 0:32:30.720 --> 0:32:32.760 McLaurin was taken out of the game half of the 0:32:32.760 --> 0:32:35.040 time because Deron Bland was over there, even in a 0:32:35.120 --> 0:32:36.160 limited snap count. 0:32:36.200 --> 0:32:37.960 So you gotta tip your hat to Mike sad Now. 0:32:38.160 --> 0:32:40.720 I also had real quick and I'll tossing to Josh. 0:32:40.880 --> 0:32:43.800 You mentioned Marshawn Knielan. I'd be remiss if I didn't 0:32:43.840 --> 0:32:47.640 speak on Marshawn Knelan's impact that didn't hit the statuet, 0:32:47.760 --> 0:32:50.480 because there are several times. One in particular, so the 0:32:50.560 --> 0:32:52.880 sack that was attributed to Michael Parsons when he chased 0:32:52.920 --> 0:32:55.080 Jayson Daniels out of bounds before the line of screams. 0:32:55.080 --> 0:32:57.360 First of all, Michael's moltor michaelh did not give both 0:32:57.440 --> 0:33:00.720 nuts right. He was blocked up and then he got 0:33:00.720 --> 0:33:03.280 off the block and there's Jaydon Daniels running. Michael could 0:33:03.320 --> 0:33:05.000 have pulled up and say, you know what, I can't. 0:33:04.760 --> 0:33:05.200 Get to that guy. 0:33:05.520 --> 0:33:06.240 We've seen it before. 0:33:07.480 --> 0:33:09.800 Golden looked at that play. It's the third possession for 0:33:09.840 --> 0:33:13.280 the Commanders. What's happening there is Jaydon Daniels is about 0:33:13.320 --> 0:33:15.360 to take off a run off the edge because Marshawn 0:33:15.400 --> 0:33:19.000 Kneeling is supposedly blocked up. Marshawn sheds his block, gets 0:33:19.000 --> 0:33:21.320 off of him, forces Jaydon Daniels to rethink it and 0:33:21.360 --> 0:33:24.520 go wider outside. That gives Micah Time, who didn't give 0:33:24.560 --> 0:33:27.440 up on the play, to then change his pursuit angle 0:33:27.520 --> 0:33:30.560 and chase him down and get that eventual sack by getting. 0:33:30.320 --> 0:33:31.960 Him out of bounds before the line is cleaned out. 0:33:32.200 --> 0:33:35.320 Marshawn Kneeling the stats bear out that he impacted the game, 0:33:35.560 --> 0:33:38.200 but even when there are no stats attributed to what 0:33:38.280 --> 0:33:40.680 he did on particular play, he was doing some damage. 0:33:40.720 --> 0:33:41.760 So good good job by the. 0:33:41.800 --> 0:33:44.880 Road two points. Michaeh Parsons said earlier last week. He 0:33:44.920 --> 0:33:46.400 said it on his podcast, and I know we've given 0:33:46.400 --> 0:33:47.520 a lot, given him a lot of fighting. 0:33:47.520 --> 0:33:50.240 I don't think we were as bad as definitely not show. 0:33:50.320 --> 0:33:52.840 I mean, he has his podcast, that's honestly, that's his 0:33:52.920 --> 0:33:55.520 do what you don't care. One of the things that 0:33:55.560 --> 0:33:57.560 he said though on his podcast is that like by 0:33:57.600 --> 0:33:59.960 the end of this year, we're gonna say, wow, down 0:34:00.360 --> 0:34:02.640 really pulled together that defense, Like they actually have a 0:34:02.680 --> 0:34:05.560 really good defense. You're starting to see the fruits of 0:34:05.600 --> 0:34:08.120 that labor come through. Like you're starting to see that. 0:34:08.200 --> 0:34:10.960 I mean, like, even back to the last few losses, 0:34:10.960 --> 0:34:12.960 you've seen the defense step up in a lot of ways. 0:34:13.680 --> 0:34:16.120 With Micah back on the field, and he was saying 0:34:16.200 --> 0:34:20.640 yesterday and his availability after the game, is that we're 0:34:20.640 --> 0:34:22.640 not going to quit. This is We're not a tank 0:34:23.160 --> 0:34:24.960 type of team like that. It's not going to happen 0:34:25.040 --> 0:34:27.520 as long as I'm on the field. We're not slowing 0:34:27.560 --> 0:34:29.960 down for anybody. I don't care about draft picks so like, 0:34:30.000 --> 0:34:32.200 and that's not verbatim, but I just mean, like, the 0:34:32.200 --> 0:34:34.800 the idea is there. I love the mentality that he 0:34:34.840 --> 0:34:38.680 has going into this season, as bad as it has 0:34:38.760 --> 0:34:41.480 looked now, the fact that he's not giving up, the 0:34:41.520 --> 0:34:43.000 fact that the defense is not going to give up. 0:34:43.040 --> 0:34:44.719 I think you're going to see a good defense by 0:34:44.760 --> 0:34:47.200 the end of the season. Because it's you're starting to 0:34:47.200 --> 0:34:47.680 see it now. 0:34:48.960 --> 0:34:49.919 It's happening right now. 0:34:49.920 --> 0:34:50.640 It took a while to. 0:34:50.640 --> 0:34:53.279 Get there, but like it's been pretty consistent over the 0:34:53.360 --> 0:34:55.680 last few games. Granted they have a really bad, like 0:34:55.800 --> 0:34:59.960 points points allowed for average, But I think that's been 0:35:00.000 --> 0:35:03.640 because still ways they were getting absolutely killed by some 0:35:03.680 --> 0:35:04.880 of the best offenses in the league. 0:35:04.920 --> 0:35:07.000 No, you've settled down on that side of the ball, 0:35:07.080 --> 0:35:08.600 and this was the first game that you've kind of 0:35:08.600 --> 0:35:11.560 settled down on the offensive side as well. Yeah, it 0:35:11.640 --> 0:35:13.000 was kind of the first game you were able to 0:35:13.040 --> 0:35:16.279 put it together really since the Pittsburgh game, and even 0:35:16.280 --> 0:35:18.800 the Pittsburgh game I feel like was more defensive heavy 0:35:19.239 --> 0:35:21.800 than it was offensive heavy. Yeah, you ran the football 0:35:21.840 --> 0:35:23.440 and you were able to take time of possession. 0:35:23.840 --> 0:35:24.520 That was great. 0:35:24.680 --> 0:35:26.040 You were able to do that in this game to 0:35:26.239 --> 0:35:28.560 thirty five minutes a time of possession was significant. You 0:35:28.680 --> 0:35:30.880 established the run and you didn't go away from it. 0:35:30.960 --> 0:35:33.600 You didn't throw the ball fifty five times with Cooper Rush. 0:35:33.719 --> 0:35:35.920 It was the balanced attack that we've been waiting for, 0:35:35.960 --> 0:35:38.080 and it kind of settled things in it and it 0:35:38.120 --> 0:35:39.480 was good one steat. 0:35:40.120 --> 0:35:42.480 Speaking to the defense, that is absolutely going to floor 0:35:42.680 --> 0:35:46.839 everybody who's listing floral voice, Right, Laura, what is one 0:35:46.880 --> 0:35:50.200 of the main issues what has been the Achilles heel 0:35:50.239 --> 0:35:51.880 of boys not just run. 0:35:51.680 --> 0:35:55.279 Defense, miss tackles, which needs to their inability that. 0:35:55.239 --> 0:35:57.279 Had a great tackling game yesterday, you know, I mean 0:35:57.320 --> 0:35:59.720 they missed yesterday for two. 0:36:00.440 --> 0:36:01.879 Wow, that's really good. 0:36:02.239 --> 0:36:05.920 Only two miss tackles over the course of sixty minutes 0:36:05.920 --> 0:36:07.080 of Cowboys football. 0:36:08.080 --> 0:36:09.560 Yeah, that's the detailed shutage. 0:36:09.600 --> 0:36:11.520 Ordan, that's I think that's what wins you this game. 0:36:11.800 --> 0:36:15.080 Yeah, tackling, that's what complete game. Yeah, that's a big 0:36:15.120 --> 0:36:16.319 one because if that numbers ten. 0:36:17.440 --> 0:36:20.600 Oh you're doing different, You're done. I don't know. Ye 0:36:22.440 --> 0:36:24.560 all right, but instead it's mustard. 0:36:25.160 --> 0:36:27.640 It is it is mustard.

We've had twelve plus wins with 0:36:41.000 --> 0:36:42.560 this helmet the last couple of years. 0:36:43.040 --> 0:36:46.840 Probably not actually factually not going to get the twelve 0:36:46.840 --> 0:36:50.240 wins this year. However, it's good to see this buddy again. 0:36:50.520 --> 0:36:53.719 We've got some smelly stickers. We will have our players 0:36:53.800 --> 0:36:56.360 of the game when we come back after the break, 0:36:56.600 --> 0:36:58.560 we're breaking out the smelly stickers.

This is a tradition going all the way 0:39:28.440 --> 0:39:31.839 back to twenty twenty with Talking Cowboys, and we've had 0:39:31.880 --> 0:39:35.239 some great wins with the team, and every time the 0:39:35.280 --> 0:39:37.239 team wins, we give out our players of the game, 0:39:37.239 --> 0:39:40.480 and instead of giving out helmet stickers like Ohio State 0:39:40.640 --> 0:39:43.760 or some of these other schools that do the helmet stickers, 0:39:43.960 --> 0:39:45.960 we give out scratching sniff stickers. Like you get a 0:39:46.000 --> 0:39:48.840 gold star at the end of the days in grade school. 0:39:48.880 --> 0:39:52.400 That's what we're giving out. So when we do this, 0:39:52.960 --> 0:39:55.480 we have to relate it to the smelly sticker. You 0:39:55.560 --> 0:39:57.560 have to relate it to it. So I'll start things off. 0:39:58.200 --> 0:40:01.160 I've got a peach here. I've got a peach, and 0:40:01.200 --> 0:40:03.360 he looks like he's a bashful peach. 0:40:03.960 --> 0:40:05.759 It's like, oh, did I do that? 0:40:06.640 --> 0:40:07.319 Did I do that? 0:40:07.560 --> 0:40:10.400 I'm gonna give this the brock Hoffman because he was 0:40:10.440 --> 0:40:14.239 the one that was like starting the fight, almost always 0:40:14.400 --> 0:40:16.840 starting the fight, but he was finishing the fight on 0:40:16.960 --> 0:40:19.359 the field in between the whistles as well. He came 0:40:19.400 --> 0:40:22.279 in filleding great at the guard spot, only allowed the 0:40:22.320 --> 0:40:24.920 one pressure and then after he decided to push and 0:40:24.960 --> 0:40:27.000 shove and maybe rile up some. 0:40:26.920 --> 0:40:28.240 Of the Washington commanders. 0:40:28.239 --> 0:40:29.719 He said, Hm, did I do that? 0:40:30.360 --> 0:40:31.799 That's the peach that we're given there. 0:40:31.920 --> 0:40:34.520 I like it all right, hand it over, yes, sir, 0:40:34.719 --> 0:40:35.080 all right. 0:40:35.600 --> 0:40:39.600 So this one I picked the the Homer Simpson donut. 0:40:39.680 --> 0:40:39.960 Nice. 0:40:40.200 --> 0:40:41.520 No, you know one of those guys. 0:40:41.600 --> 0:40:43.080 He's gonna be playing for us here in a couple 0:40:43.080 --> 0:40:45.320 of weeks Homer Simpson.

It just felt like the team 0:41:20.160 --> 0:41:22.600 surrounded him. He deserves a game ball, in my opinion, 0:41:22.640 --> 0:41:25.080 he deserves a smelly sticker because he went out there 0:41:25.080 --> 0:41:28.479 and did it against his former defensive coordinator and put 0:41:28.520 --> 0:41:31.480 it on the table and made him look at it there. 0:41:32.280 --> 0:41:33.560 Michael McCarthy. 0:41:34.880 --> 0:41:36.319 Love it all right? 0:41:36.480 --> 0:41:40.279 All right?

It's a guy that was elevated from the 0:42:32.760 --> 0:42:35.520 practice squad. You don't have Trayvon Diggs, Kayln Carson is 0:42:35.560 --> 0:42:38.520 made inactive Deron blands on the pitch count, so forth 0:42:38.560 --> 0:42:40.960 and so on.
