Speaker 1: Rob Phillips and Kyle Yeomans go, Dallas how Boys. It

7
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: is a victory Monday here on Talking Cowboys from a

8
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: Star in Frisco. The Cowboys dethrone the Super Bowl Champs

9
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: twenty two to tend the final score. As we welcome

10
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: you in presented by a Black Rifle Coffee Company to

11
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: the fourth Victory Monday of the twenty twenty two campaign.

12
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: Glad you're with us here on Talking Cowboys. Rob Phillips,

13
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 1: Isaiah stand Backpatrick Nose Walker, We've got Chris Beam in

14
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: the backup. Kyle Yeoman's glad you're with us, And gentlemen,

15
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: this one feels a little bit sweeter because everyone is sweeter.

16
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 1: I mean, every time it goes, you get one more.

17
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: You continue to stack wins upon wins upon wins. It

18
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 1: feels much better as you go along. However, this one

19
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: feels good, Isaiah, because it's against the reigning Super Bowl champs,

20
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 1: and because your defense got the job done. Again. Defense

21
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: is the leaders on this team. These guys, We've talked

22
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: about it in recent weeks. These guys are simply just

23
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: seemingly unstoppable. It's a lot to deal with when you

24
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: have the personnel and you have the wisdom that's kind

25
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: of the director behind everything, kind of you know, controlling

26
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: the pinocchio strings back there, and he's just utilizing all

27
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: his assets. It's it's hard for an offense to come

28
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: back this, and I'm not sure how you come back

29
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,679
Speaker 1: this when you have that amount of pressure. You you

30
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: don't allow them to establish running games. You don't allow

31
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: them to sit back and throw the ball. So it's like,

32
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 1: what do you do offensively against this defense to get

33
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,959
Speaker 1: anything going? And as long as the Dallas Cowboys continue

34
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,399
Speaker 1: to play this type of defense, it doesn't matter how

35
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: much their offense shows up or doesn't show up. You know,

36
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: field goals seemingly will win you the ball game. Go ahead, listen.

37
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: If this defense continues playing like this, UH Congress is

38
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,799
Speaker 1: going to have to convene a special session to investigate

39
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: what's going on. I mean, at the end of the

40
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: day and at the beginning of the day and in

41
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: the middle of the day. This defense is absolutely terrorizing teams.

42
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: And we said going into this game, obviously we're still

43
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: about one Now, we're about one week now from you know,

44
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: the nickname votes, right, But I said before I dropped mine,

45
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: before we dropped hours, I wanted to see what they

46
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: did against the Rams, and then I want to see

47
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: what they do against the Eagles. Another big test coming

48
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:13,839
Speaker 1: against the Eagles. We'll get to that later this week.

49
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,679
Speaker 1: But to go into Sofa against the rain of Super

50
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: Bowl champs and hold them to only ten points. Now,

51
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,839
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup, he had one twenty five, but seventy five

52
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: of that came on on one play. And it's funny

53
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: because two, not two plays before he broke that run,

54
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: I said to myself that, hey, they have a cap

55
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: on Cooper Cup. I was like, hey, I might be

56
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: jinxing it, so I'm not gonna say it out loud.

57
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: And if I had said it out loud, I would

58
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: have thought I jinxed it. But I didn't. Goodness, I

59
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: didn't say that out hadn't happened anyway, right, But that's

60
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: seventy that's all your fault. It's basically what I'm gatherings

61
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: I heard. Yeah that was if that's if that's the

62
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: worst thing that happened yesterday, and it turns out that

63
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: was the worst thing that happened yesterday, I will take

64
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: that all day long. The defense played stout. Um you

65
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: had the at Well, the deep past at Well, which

66
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: couldn't have been deep defended. I mean Diggs was right there,

67
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: perfect coverage. Stafford just dropped that throw. It was unreal.

68
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: So those two things, notwithstanding, Cowboys kept Acres in the

69
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: running game and Check. For the most part, they kept

70
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: they kept Higbee and Check. Welcome back jay Ron curse right. Uh,

71
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: this defense top to bottom. I mean you even got

72
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons dealing with you know, growing tightness, and he's

73
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: like putting me back in coach, so I can punctuate

74
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: this game with a sack fumbo. Oh man, it's just

75
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: a beautiful sight to see defense. Is they stir the

76
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: bloody drink as when Mike McCarthy's PG that was sorry

77
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 1: so our UK listeners, Yeah, that's what That's what British

78
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy would have said. He's right. I mean, you

79
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: guys hit on everything. I mean, I'm I'm stunned by

80
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: like both the predictability of this Cowboys defense Cowboys team

81
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: and their unpredictability they are. Nobody could have predicted four

82
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 1: straight wins with Cooper Rush is the starting quarterback. I

83
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: don't care how good the defense has played. If you

84
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 1: told me in May when the schedule came out that

85
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush was going to be the winning starting quarterback

86
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 1: against both Super Bowl quarterbacks from last year, nobody would

87
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: have bought it. And I'd love to know what the

88
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 1: percentage was for ESPN Sports Analytics for percentage to win

89
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. That's this league. This league is

90
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 1: so unpredictable. But what's predictable about this team is what

91
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: the defense does every single week. So far, for five weeks,

92
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: they have not allowed any of their opponents to reach

93
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: twenty points, the first time that a Dallas defense has

94
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 1: done that since nineteen seventy two. And that's in a

95
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 1: different era, by the way. I mean that. You know

96
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 1: there was no Cooper Cup and Sean McVay style offenses

97
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: to defend back then. Seventy two was the last time

98
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: five or less touchdowns in five games to start the season,

99
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: so one touchdown a game. Offensive lines they faced some

100
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: that have struggled, no doubt, they've been some favorable matchups.

101
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: But I think this defense is for real. I think

102
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: we all do. And if you don't, if you're not

103
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: buying it yet, great news. Sunday Night Football. Best team

104
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: in the league, they're playing based on record. Who has

105
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,799
Speaker 1: a great offensive line, by the way, So we'll find

106
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: out real quick once again with the biggest test of

107
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: the season to date, whether it's for real. And I

108
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 1: think it is. And that's the thing about this matchup

109
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: and this whole week. We're gonna preview it because I

110
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: feel like a lot of people are already looking ahead.

111
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: They put this one in the review mirror. Cool, you

112
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: just beat the Super Bowl champs. Great, all right, fun, Well,

113
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: we've got some tests on the horizon and charrival. It's

114
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: a Sunday night football game. It's to this point in

115
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: the season. Find me a more high profile game. There

116
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: hasn't been for everybody in their moms, no way that

117
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: there's a more prime profile game at this point in

118
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: the year than the Cowboys and Eagles coming up on

119
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 1: Sunday Night Football. But it is something to be said because,

120
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 1: like you said, even if you would have told me

121
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 1: that Dak Prescott would have gone four and one through

122
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: the first five weeks of the season prior to the

123
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 1: season starting, I don't know if I would have believed you.

124
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 1: I really wouldn't. Because you had the Bengals, you had

125
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: the Rams, you had the Buccaneers. You might have won

126
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: two or three games there maybe for possibly, but not

127
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: in the way that they have done it and the

128
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: way that this defense continues to play. I think you

129
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: outline that really well, the predictable unpredictability, because you know

130
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: the defense is going to show up, but are they

131
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: gonna do it in the same way week to week?

132
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: Now dan Quinn switches things up and he did it

133
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: all day yesterday to keep LA off balance, and they

134
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: got after Matthew Stafford because of it. And it goes

135
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: back to what we were saying last week. And I

136
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: cannot see and I know it's possible. Of course, it's possible.

137
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: It's it's football. It's to indefinitely possible. Of course, it's possible.

138
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: This defense is going to have a bad day. Of

139
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: course it's possible. Right, of course, it's possible. Another offense

140
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: is going to you know figure out a way to

141
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: tee off on a particular misspects, of course as possible,

142
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: but expecting it. No, I no longer expect that that's

143
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: going to happen. I expect weekend a week out that

144
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: Dan Quinn and this defense, regardless of what adjustments need

145
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: to be made, whoever is on the field, is going

146
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: to get the job done. And then the only question

147
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: becomes weekly until that gets back and then we see

148
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: prime deck back, because we're not going to see prime

149
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: deck initially might take a game or two. The question

150
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: is is the offense going to be able to avoid

151
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: making the mistakes that cut the defense and the special

152
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: teams off at the knees and they continue to escape

153
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: those mistakes, be it with the lepra con on Cooper

154
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: Rush's shoulder, as Rob Phillips so eloquently put it, or

155
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: whatever other means. The fact is the defense is going

156
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: to continue to win you games as long as you

157
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: You don't even have to match serve. All you gotta

158
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: do is just don't mess it up. If you're the offense,

159
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 1: just don't screw it up. Twenty sacks through the first

160
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: five games, first time since nineteen eighty seven, since a

161
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: guy you might have heard of him, Tom Landry was

162
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 1: the coach. It was pretty good. Yeah, so were off

163
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:45,959
Speaker 1: to a start. And Mickey pointed out to me on

164
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: the plane in the ride home, you might have to

165
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 1: go further back than that, just because eighty seven was

166
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: the strike year, which was kind of a different year,

167
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: obviously a throwaway type year, so it may go to

168
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 1: go back further than that. But yeah, I mean, you

169
00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: can go down the list of the stats and you're like,

170
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 1: holy cow, they're right there with San Francisco and Buffalo

171
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 1: right now. So far as the best defenses in the league,

172
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: I mean, no doubt about it. You've got teams up

173
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 1: there with one loss. There are four teams with one

174
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,559
Speaker 1: loss or less in the NFC right now. It's the Cowboys,

175
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 1: the Eagles, the Giants, who you've beaten already, which is

176
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: really interesting, and then the Minnesota Vikings, who you'll see

177
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,319
Speaker 1: later in the year. On the other side, for the AFC,

178
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: there's only one team and that's the Buffalo Bills. So

179
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: you're in the conversation right now at least record wise,

180
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: as a top five team in the NFL. I'm not

181
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: saying that's the case. I'm not saying putting expectations on

182
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 1: it just yet. But that's where you are, factual, that's there.

183
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 1: Are they showing that they could be that when they're

184
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: fully healthy. Though, did you were you convinced, especially offensively yesterday,

185
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: that they can continue to grow and get better, because

186
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: I felt like the offense kind of took a step

187
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: back last or last night you put in that context,

188
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I think about the best teams in the league.

189
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw Buffalo in here right off the back.

190
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: So because Buffalo those defense has proven to you for

191
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: the last few years, much like the Dallas Cowboys defense has,

192
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: that they're real and they're to be they're not to

193
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: be played with. Okay, they're Leslie Fraser is doing an

194
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 1: amazing job obviously out there as a defensive coordinator. He

195
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,559
Speaker 1: has a lot of really good defensive backs. They're stronger,

196
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: I mean, they're just they're strong, you know, they're they're

197
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: they're they're stronger defense. Offensively, their lights out. Yeah, they're

198
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:24,079
Speaker 1: they're bad days better than Dallas's great days seemingly right now.

199
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 1: So that is a team that you put them in

200
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: that category. Now. Obviously Dallas has knocked off last year's

201
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 1: two depending Super Bowl appearing teams. But I don't think

202
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: there's any there's no argument that those teams don't look

203
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 1: like anything resembling of what they look like. They're two

204
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 1: and three now, they're not looking They both lost this week.

205
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: So I mean the reality is, I mean, it is

206
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: still you can statman still stands true. You beat Cincinnati,

207
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 1: you beat the Ramps. Awesome. The team that I would

208
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 1: say that is showing up like you expecting to show

209
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: up and they're not even being that great right now

210
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: as Tampa. Tampa is still up and down right now. Um,

211
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 1: but that's the one true test that I guess you

212
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: could say that you've had this year of a solid

213
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 1: team that's playing like a solid team, and they're still wavering.

214
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 1: This is the big game coming up, you know, like

215
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: this game last night, we were in the studio watching

216
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 1: It's like, okay, yeah, you beat the Rams, like there,

217
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: you know, like you expected the defense to do that.

218
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: Their officer line you coming into it. You know, the

219
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 1: Rams office line was pretty much close to composts as well,

220
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: and they showed it. They showed it right, I mean,

221
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 1: they pretty much got disrespected yesterday. You pretty much put

222
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: a cap on Cooper Cup. Aside from the one time

223
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: that Trayvon Diggs went back to last year Trayvon and

224
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 1: started taking risk versus man coverage. He has to just understand, hey,

225
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 1: understand the coverage, Understand where your help is to be

226
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 1: able to take calculator risks. But for the most part

227
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: they shut him down. It's an offense though. Like you mentioned, Kyle,

228
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: this offense is not putting out right now. And yesterday

229
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,679
Speaker 1: they only got down to the red zone twice. They

230
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,559
Speaker 1: were over two in the red zone, got down there twice,

231
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 1: didn't do anything, relied on field goals. They ran the

232
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 1: ball effectively, right Obviously, some a lot of that came

233
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: from Tony Poller, just like we're saying, Hey, Cooper Cup

234
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 1: had a good game, but most of it came off

235
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 1: a one run. Well, Dallas had a good running game,

236
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 1: but most of it came from Tony Poller on the

237
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: one run as well. So you have to look at

238
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 1: it objectively and understand that this offense is struggling. And

239
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: what I've been saying for the past few weeks is, hey,

240
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: what happens when your defense just shows up like any

241
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: other defense in the league, because they're entitled to that,

242
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:21,839
Speaker 1: and they had the game that Patrick's talking about. And

243
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: they have the game that Patrick's talking about. You not

244
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 1: even a bad game, right, Just just what do they

245
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,959
Speaker 1: just show up in a just a normal, normal defensive

246
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: game and your offense is putting out like this and

247
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 1: everybody's talking about, oh, you know, when Dad gets back,

248
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 1: it is gonna be even crazier. We had a healthy

249
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 1: DAK Week one and the offense didn't do much of nothing.

250
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: So I understand the anticipation to understand what everybody's hoping for,

251
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,199
Speaker 1: But the reality is consistently, whether it's Dak or whether

252
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 1: it's it's Cooper Rush, this offense has not clicked, not

253
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 1: one time yet this year. I'll say this to one

254
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 1: thing that you pointed out, you said, okay, well, yeah,

255
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: they beat the Rams. I'm going to turn the other

256
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 1: way on this one because going into this game, we

257
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,479
Speaker 1: said definitively this was the biggest test for the Cowboys

258
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 1: thus far, and Cooper Rush specifically. Now, I would say this,

259
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 1: as far as individual assessment, Cooper Rush didn't pass that test.

260
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 1: He didn't fail it because leprocomics show he didn't fail

261
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: the test, but he didn't pass the test either. You

262
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 1: talk about one hundred and two yards, ten for sixteen passing,

263
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 1: no interceptions, so he didn't fail, no fumbles, so he

264
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 1: didn't fail. No touchdowns, so he didn't pass so see right, no, see,

265
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: But the what the offense did was they leaned on

266
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 1: the running game and the fifty seven yard touchdown from

267
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard that was a good chunk of that. So,

268
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 1: like you said, if we're going to give it the

269
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,319
Speaker 1: cup for the seventy five, we're going to give it too.

270
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 1: But when you look at the twenty two attempts from

271
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,839
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott, another eight attempts from pump Tony Poller, that's

272
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: thirty rushing attempts for nearly one hundred and seventy yards

273
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: against Okay, the Rams offensive line was in shambles. Their

274
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: defensive line was not in shambles. Right. I love how

275
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:01,839
Speaker 1: they adapted and stuck with it because initially they saw

276
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: they couldn't match up against Aaron Donald. Tyler Smith got

277
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:09,199
Speaker 1: beat badly on two separate occasions, and he didn't fail. That.

278
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 1: To me, you can't fail going against Aaron Donald. You

279
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 1: have the pass or it's Aaron Donald. Right. So, but

280
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:16,959
Speaker 1: what the Cowboys did after that, second sac. You saw

281
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: Donald didn't get another sack the remainder of the game.

282
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: No other defensive lineman for the Rams got a sack

283
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: in that game. The only other sack came from Jalen

284
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 1: Ramsey on you know, Tony Poll missed that assignment in

285
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 1: the backfield. But the offense did exactly enough to not fail.

286
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: My point being, we can't say it was the biggest

287
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: test thus far going in and then they they win

288
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: as a team, and then we say, oh, well, you

289
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 1: know they did beat the Rams. Okay, well, yeah, said, well,

290
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: I know, going back till these my comments in particular,

291
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: we said that's gonna be the biggest test in terms

292
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 1: of dominant players individual dominant players, not holistically as a

293
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: holistic defense. But they had one goom at the first level,

294
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 1: one goon at the second level, and one goon at

295
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 1: the third level. Right, That's at least what I when

296
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: I was starting about old Donald Wagner in Rams, right,

297
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 1: and all those and yeah, and all those guys pretty

298
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: much had good games. I'm not gonna I don't think

299
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: we can see here and say think Wagner probably had

300
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 1: the lesser game. It was he didn't have splash plays, right,

301
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know how. Yeah, he dropped his

302
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 1: one splash, but he had an opportunity. But I think

303
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: when we talk about it like that, like that's what

304
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: we're talking about it in that regard, when you think

305
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 1: about the Dallas offense, if you take away Armstrong's uh

306
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 1: you know, strip sack and d laws you know, fumble,

307
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: fumble recovery for a touchdown, Dallas scored one touchdown, two

308
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: field goals, right Dorant ten points. Yeah, So I'm like,

309
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 1: this offense, this offense was not successful to that point.

310
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: Let's not fool ourselves to think that they were successful

311
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 1: when it was not successful. We're saying they didn't fail,

312
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 1: and that's not going to be a enough That's so

313
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying. Like that, like we've been leaning

314
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 1: on that they're not failing, they're not feeling last the

315
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 1: week before this past week, two interceptions got called back.

316
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: That was about to be failed. That was gonna be

317
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: a fail, right, Luckily it didn't happen this time. Why

318
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 1: could they say, oh, no, we saw what the interior

319
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: pressure did the cooper last last week. We're gonna take

320
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 1: the ball out of his hands. We're gonna throw the

321
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: ball sixteen times a day and we're gonna run it

322
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 1: thirty Yeah, I know what they say about look sometimes. Yeah,

323
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess I'm the one that's been I've

324
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 1: kind of graded this offense on a curve with with

325
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush. I've just constantly reminded myself this guy's barely

326
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 1: played in the NFL. Managed the game and that's one

327
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 1: thing he did do well. He did not turn the

328
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 1: ball over, and it's just enough. It's just enough. Now

329
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: I'm I'm anticipating. That's why it's important for Dak to

330
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 1: come back when Dak is ready, Because when Dak is

331
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: ready and one percent, I do think this is a

332
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: much better offense Week one. Notwithstanding, I think he's gonna

333
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: be able to get more than three guys the ball.

334
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 1: I mean, only Ceedee Lamb, Michael Gallup and Noah Brown

335
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: had a catch in this game. No tight ends, no

336
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: running backs. Dalton Schultz banged up clearly in this game.

337
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 1: He came back, but but that knee is bothering him.

338
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 1: Um his mobile. I just think they're going to be

339
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 1: a better offense with Dak Prescott, but he's gonna have

340
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 1: to get up to speed and I don't think you

341
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 1: want to rush him back into that situation. So I've

342
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 1: been grading on a curve, but um, there's no doubt

343
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:12,399
Speaker 1: they've got to get more production when they play a

344
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:14,679
Speaker 1: team like the Philadelphia Eagles offensively. Want to answer you,

345
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 1: and to answer your question, Coyle, the I don't think

346
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 1: the offense as a whole took a step back in

347
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 1: this game. Um, I think the passing attack took a

348
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 1: step back in this game. If you want to talk

349
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 1: about it, A drop from Lamb, a drop from Gallop

350
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 1: Gallup didn't make up forward fantastic. Yeah, but that that

351
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 1: first one from Gallup you could still be going CD

352
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 1: also dropped. So the passing attack took a step back

353
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:44,400
Speaker 1: from week four, the rushing attack took a step forward

354
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: from week four. And guess what the scale balanced it,

355
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 1: sof Out and the Cowboys got to win. We've been

356
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: on this show saying it before, Isaiah, You've been a

357
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:56,880
Speaker 1: big proponent of it, of run the football, run it consistently,

358
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:58,919
Speaker 1: stick through it all the way through, no matter what

359
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 1: the game looks like. Run the football because it sets

360
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 1: up play action, It opens up your offense, It gives

361
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: you so many more option defense, it helps your defense. Yeah,

362
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 1: it certainly did in this one, But why does it

363
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 1: feel like they are taking that step back offensively, at

364
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,120
Speaker 1: least in a week like this whenever they did run

365
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 1: the football and they stuck with it and they were

366
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,120
Speaker 1: able to continue that through four quarters. Well, when you're

367
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 1: watching the film, there's a lot of pass attempts early

368
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: in the game. They threw it around a little bit

369
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: in the first and second quarter, and then they got

370
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:26,679
Speaker 1: into the third and they said no, no no, no, no, no no, no,

371
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 1: run it, keep away, over and over and over and over.

372
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 1: It was keepaway, beautiful, that's what it was. It was keaway.

373
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,639
Speaker 1: And that's okay, that's successible ball. When you're playing against

374
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:36,920
Speaker 1: a team that can't get things going offensively. It doesn't

375
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 1: mean that's to compliment you football, right, you control what

376
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,119
Speaker 1: you can control offensively. You run the freaking ball, you

377
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 1: get an early lead, you get a gift. Okay, you

378
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,400
Speaker 1: get a gift, right, and if yeah, you got yeah,

379
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 1: you got a few gifts. Absolutely, you got the strips,

380
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:49,920
Speaker 1: the strip act, and then you got the block block point.

381
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 1: So at that point in time, you're like, shoot, let's

382
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,159
Speaker 1: not mess this thing up. Let's let's run it. It

383
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: was run the ball, and that's that's what they did.

384
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 1: They just played keepaway. But that keepaway mentality should be

385
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 1: the mentality every week for these guys in terms of

386
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 1: being dedicated to the run thirty times in the game.

387
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 1: Obviously was good enough yesterday, but that should be the

388
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 1: case all the time when you have that two headed

389
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: monster back there. Now, obviously they're still figuring out the

390
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 1: offensive line and all those things blas blah blah blah blahsa,

391
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:18,120
Speaker 1: but that is a winning strategy for the Dallas Cowboys.

392
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 1: And I think as you're trying to get these guys

393
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 1: more confidence up front, I think, as you're trying to

394
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: get Cooper Rush some protection, as you're trying to keep

395
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: the defense nice and fresh with their one, two, three

396
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 1: defensive lines that they're coming with, it doesn't really matter.

397
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: All those things played compliments to successful ball. But I'm

398
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 1: gonna keep saying it. I know people call me a hater,

399
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: you call me whatever you want. It's not enough, and

400
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 1: it's it's really not enough. Teams are still figuring out

401
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 1: who the heck they are. Teams are still making a

402
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,199
Speaker 1: justice based upon their person nails from this year. You

403
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:49,120
Speaker 1: talk about really good teams from last year. They seemingly

404
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 1: suck right now. They're not gonna suck the whole year.

405
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 1: They're not gonna suck the whole The Cincinnati aren't gonna

406
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: suck the whole year. The Rams are gonna suck the

407
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 1: whole year. You know, these teams aren't gonna suck the

408
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 1: whole year. So somebody Dallas has the second easiest schedule

409
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 1: in the league this year, which is awesome in terms

410
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: of strength of schedule. So you take advantage of that

411
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:05,400
Speaker 1: and you knock these teams out, but there are going

412
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 1: to be to Philadelphia Eagles that pop up on your schedule.

413
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 1: It's like, Okay, we're gonna need to score more than

414
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,639
Speaker 1: than one touchdown. There's a couple of teams like that

415
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,400
Speaker 1: on the schedule. Yeah, And I said it like right

416
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 1: off the top. I mean, they they have gotten some

417
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:22,439
Speaker 1: matchups on the front line where it's been nice, like

418
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 1: guys that are offensive lines that are young, or offensive

419
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 1: lines that are banged up, or offensive lines just aren't

420
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 1: very good. That's why I think Sunday is a great test.

421
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,239
Speaker 1: But I still think I mean, I think they're for real.

422
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: One thing I'll say about the offense that that does

423
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 1: impress me. Every time they need something from Cooper Rush

424
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 1: in this offense, they seem to get it, you know. Rams, Yeah,

425
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: Rams take a ten nine lead, they answer Rushed with

426
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 1: the completion and the Pollard's touchdown. My favorite drive, to

427
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 1: Isaiah's point, it was a boring drive. Fourth quarter, five

428
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 1: minutes to go, nine plays, thirty five yards, run, run, run, run, run,

429
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: kick the field goal I don't care about. There was

430
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 1: a debate on Twitter in the press box about that

431
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,080
Speaker 1: go up twenty two ten, give me the point to

432
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,479
Speaker 1: go up twelve points with five minutes left. Choke this

433
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 1: game away, and that's what they did well, and they

434
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 1: forced that that field goal. Initially it's like, oh my gosh,

435
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: it doesn't put you up by more than two scores.

436
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: But if you don't kick the field goal, a touchdown

437
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:12,920
Speaker 1: and a field goal wins it, whereas if you kick

438
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: the field goal, you need two touchdowns to win it. Right,

439
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:21,360
Speaker 1: take the Mayweather approach, slow, methodical, boring, watch, but it's effective.

440
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 1: Welcome down. Isaiah is right, and we talked about this

441
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 1: after I think the Washington game. You're looking at it

442
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 1: from a player's perspective. Who's going in the film room today,

443
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,159
Speaker 1: and saying this is not going to cut it in

444
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:34,640
Speaker 1: January because we expect to be there and we've got

445
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 1: to be better than that. I totally get that. I

446
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:41,879
Speaker 1: just think for this particular what they're dealing with right now, offensively,

447
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 1: I take it, take it, and I think the best

448
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 1: is yet to come with the forty million dollars man

449
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:51,679
Speaker 1: coming back. If he's right, and and that's why I

450
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 1: think if you're a fan, you should be excited. Notwithstanding

451
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,719
Speaker 1: it has to improve and exactly and Isaiah is correct,

452
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,119
Speaker 1: And I'll just expand on on Okay, we don't have

453
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 1: to always just say he's correct. We can, but it

454
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 1: is keeping us grounded here. I mean it's right because

455
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,400
Speaker 1: he's correct in that the teams you're seeing now, as

456
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,120
Speaker 1: far as the struggles with Cincinnati and Los Angeles, you're

457
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,679
Speaker 1: not going pretty probably likely not going to see them

458
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 1: later in the season. They'll get it figured out. Um. Contrarily,

459
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 1: the Eagles aren't going to be undefeated going into the

460
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 1: back end of the season. They're gonna lose several games,

461
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 1: right and it could start us right Aska Giants, right. Um.

462
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 1: But what I would say is the same applies. The

463
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 1: same that applies for those other teams. Applies to the

464
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 1: Cowboys as well. We're talking about a team that it

465
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,959
Speaker 1: does have a backup quarterback. They just lost Jason Peters

466
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 1: really before they could even you know, unleash him. Tylas

467
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 1: Smith is a rookie, he's playing very well, has some

468
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:50,119
Speaker 1: growing pains against Aaron Donald. Hell, they're you know, multi

469
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 1: time Pro bowlers that have growing pains to that point,

470
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 1: real quickly, look at the first past play of the

471
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 1: entire game. That's all I'm gonna say. Just look at

472
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 1: the first pass ten for Cooper Rush and watch Jack

473
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 1: Martin go up against Aaron Donald, and that'll change your

474
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:06,919
Speaker 1: mind on how Tyler Smith. And there you go. My

475
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 1: point being the Cowboys aren't whole. They're getting more so

476
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 1: on defense, and the defense is still dominant even though

477
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,120
Speaker 1: they're not completely hold, but they're getting there. The offense

478
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 1: is wildly not whole, especially when you're talking about the

479
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: gaping position of QB one that's not there yet. So

480
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,879
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are figuring things out as well. They're figuring

481
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:27,879
Speaker 1: out their identity as well, and they won't truly know

482
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 1: their identity until that comes back and they get that rolling.

483
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 1: But I do find an interest in that from a

484
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:38,199
Speaker 1: science standpoint. Cowboys finished yesterday's game with exactly thirty carries

485
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 1: between Pollard and Zeke, not two weeks ago. McCarthy said,

486
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 1: he wants to see thirty carries. Yeah, he's thirty touches.

487
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 1: There you go, there you go. He's in killing Zere

488
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 1: and killing his listening. Yeah. Yes, Uh, let's take a

489
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 1: break when we come back. It should Cooper Rush be

490
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 1: the starter for the rest of the seat. Not just kidding.

491
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 1: That's not what we're talking about next. I'm messing. I

492
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 1: want to talk about the offensive line moving forward. I

493
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:07,160
Speaker 1: just wanted to get out answers. Not a second. That's

494
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,639
Speaker 1: what we're gonna talk about. Offensive line, Tyler Smith. But

495
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 1: Connor McGovern may have had his best game as a

496
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 1: pro yesterday. I'll tell you why when we come back

497
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 1: with more talking Cowboys. When you build, you start with

498
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:22,199

514

Speaker 1: repellent he bought online was reliable. And now Todd is

516

562
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:11,920
Speaker 1: by Black Rifle Coffee Company Connor McGovern yesterday and going

563
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 1: back to the point that I was making with with

564
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,959
Speaker 1: Aaron Donalds, Aaron Donald's going to get his film certainly

565
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 1: did yesterday two sacks. Uh, technically a force fumble, but

566
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush landed on it immediately. Nate and knew and

567
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 1: everybody didn't hear this. Nate Newton yesterday said he is

568
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 1: the greatest defensive lineman to ever played a game. And

569
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 1: he said he would say it on air two. So

570
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 1: it's on the record for for Date Newton, best defensive

571
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:36,400
Speaker 1: lineman he's ever. That's a fun conversation. He's in the conversation. Yeah,

572
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 1: I said, he's in the conversation. But their names that's

573
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 1: pop that pop up in my head, be a Cowboys

574
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 1: and not that you could make a conversation and that

575
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 1: that's why it's so impactful coming from Nate because he's

576
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 1: played against some of the greatest dudes ever. Yeah, I

577
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 1: mean LT comes to mind, but LT, did you count

578
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 1: him as just a linebacker? He's not necessarily in that conversation.

579
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 1: I think pass rusher, you know, But we brought up

580
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 1: Randy White. He'sai. Yeah, oh nice. So anyway, I don't

581
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 1: want to dern no, that's but yeah, Randy White. He

582
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 1: always talks about um, Reggie White, Reggie White. And uh no.

583
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 1: He did say another name yesterday, Randall. Yes, yeah, Randall.

584
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 1: Another another Eagles rusher that I'm blanking on. He would

585
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 1: just he said there was another gentleman that I guess

586
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 1: passed away or something like that. He said, had he

587
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 1: kept playing, he would have been Keith. Keith Russell maybe

588
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 1: is that his name. I can't remember. I don't want

589
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 1: to say it'll be It'd be a great conversation to have,

590
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 1: I tell you that much. But to that point, Recover

591
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 1: did a heck of a job. He really did. And

592
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 1: the first play, the first passing play of the ball game,

593
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 1: Zach Martin went one on one Mono imano against Aaron

594
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 1: Donald and he got blown up walked backwards. Now, Martin

595
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 1: kept his footing like a seven time pro bowler would,

596
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 1: but he was in the lap of Cooper Rush by

597
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 1: the time that throw was made, and it was thrown

598
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 1: into the dirt and it was an incomplete pass. Then

599
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 1: you had a couple of separate plays throughout that drive

600
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 1: where Donald was head up on Martin, head up on Martin,

601
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 1: and then he scoots over and he goes to Tyler Smith. Oh,

602
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 1: and he had his targets set on the rookie. The

603
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 1: first play sack boom. He ate absolutely give me that.

604
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 1: So Tyler Smith had his h took his lumps, but

605
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 1: he responded. Connor McGovern didn't even have a lump. He

606
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 1: came in there and he bawled out give him the credit.

607
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 1: Where credit is, dude. I thought he was fantastic. He

608
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 1: was by the way, I was thinking of Jerome Brown.

609
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 1: He's a great player. Played against Nay long time. Yeah,

610
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 1: he he did a great job. And I in the

611
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 1: pregame show, I was talking to you guys about Aaron

612
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:36,479
Speaker 1: Donald and I didn't mention he's an edge rusher too.

613
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 1: He can just play him anywhere. And they they found

614
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 1: Tyler Smith and went at him a little bit with

615
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 1: ninety nine. But yeah, Connor McGovern stronger player than he

616
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 1: was when he came in the league. I mean, I think,

617
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 1: and he had a little bit of help, but there

618
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 1: were times one on one where he was holding his

619
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 1: own in there. And that's a step forward for this

620
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 1: offense because I don't know how long Jason Peters is

621
00:30:58,240 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 1: going to be out. We haven't really got an update

622
00:30:59,920 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 1: on that, but it could be more than one game,

623
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 1: depending on the severity of that rib injury he's got. So,

624
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 1: I mean it was huge for mcgovernor. I mean, you

625
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 1: your two games back from a high ankle sprain didn't

626
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 1: necessarily look great in your week, your last game back,

627
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 1: um last week against the Commanders and your return, and

628
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 1: now you're asked going against Aaron Donald and you're not

629
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 1: going to have the security blanket of Jason Peters, which

630
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 1: was you know, one of the matchups who were interested

631
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 1: in seeing before the Peters news came out and said, hey, okay,

632
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 1: let's see Peters versus Donald, center or ceter and Peters

633
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 1: gets hurt chest injury last week, might miss multiple games.

634
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 1: We should know more here this week, if not today.

635
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 1: Um So, Connor McGovern it's all on you going against

636
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 1: the all world talent, arguably the best NFL defender of

637
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: all time. What do you do? You hold your own

638
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 1: You hold your owne. Yeah, So fantastic job by Connor

639
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 1: McGovern fantastic, fantastic, fantastic And tyler yaddish and I said

640
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 1: this I said this to Nick last night as well

641
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 1: as we were boarding to head out from from La

642
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 1: Tyler Biaddish had a really good game as well. If

643
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 1: you go back and you look at the game, you

644
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 1: look at the film that he was the one that

645
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 1: really sprung Tony Pollard on that play, Tyler Beedish, he

646
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 1: went sealed one guy to his left and then as

647
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 1: soon as he felt Pollard get right right past him,

648
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 1: he went and sealed the second guy that created a

649
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 1: huge lane for Pollard and then the rest was just

650
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 1: on Tony to get it done. And Tony got it done.

651
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 1: So kudos to not only McGovern but let's let's give

652
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 1: roses to Tyler Beiedish as well. He had a solid game.

653
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 1: If not a good game, I'm not as quick to

654
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 1: go to Tyler Beiodish. There were a couple of times

655
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 1: in the wrong spot. Yeah, not so fast, my friend.

656
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 1: Uh No, I I thought Conor mccovern consistently won his

657
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 1: battles either either that or as a stalemate, and that's

658
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 1: a win for me. And honestly, and if you're talking

659
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 1: about the offensive line, Beodest didn't consistently win his battles.

660
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 1: He won one, then he lost one, then he lost one,

661
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 1: and then he won one, and he goes back and

662
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 1: forth and it's just not consistent. I'm not sold on

663
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 1: Tyler Beyodish long term. I'm gonna put that out there.

664
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 1: What I lost not wrong. All I'm saying, though, is

665
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 1: that Pollard touchdown run doesn't happen. If doesn't, it doesn't

666
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 1: happen either. McGovern seals the edge and then you get

667
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:18,480
Speaker 1: up to the second well, and then Tony Pollard also

668
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 1: breaks acceptable. It was accept it was acceptable. Fair. Now

669
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard, though specifically, continues to make these big time runs.

670
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 1: And I mean, I know there was a discrepancy in

671
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 1: terms of the carries, and I'm not actually calling for

672
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 1: equal carries because I think it's one without the other

673
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 1: sort of deal. I mean, they both kind of marriage

674
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 1: each other. But pat, when you look at Tony Pollard,

675
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 1: his elusiveness and his explosiveness is a weapon, and you've

676
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 1: seen that throughout the season. How does that continue to

677
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 1: grow without necessarily putting Ezekiel Elliott in a box because

678
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 1: I don't think you have to in order to have

679
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard feature. Well. Listen, first, kudos to Pollot for

680
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 1: having a flu game his flu game yesterday and it

681
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 1: was funny. I asked him about it in the locker room.

682
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 1: I said, Hey, was this your flu game? Ear to

683
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 1: ear grint, he was like somewhat somewhat um For those

684
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 1: that may not have known, he battled illness. He misspractice

685
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 1: on Friday, and he said that robbed him of a

686
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 1: little bit of his energy levels. He got fatigued a

687
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 1: lot quicker. But to be able to battle back and

688
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:21,880
Speaker 1: still just deliver the explosive play that the Cowboys require

689
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 1: and expect of him on the you know, an enemy

690
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:28,320
Speaker 1: territory was fantastic. Now, obviously he struggled against the commanders.

691
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:30,840
Speaker 1: That's not what you want to see from Tony Pollard.

692
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 1: But this version of Tony Pollard is the one that

693
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 1: the Cowboys have become accustomed to. This is the one

694
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 1: that compliments Ezekiel Elliott and fantastic fashion. This is the

695
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 1: one that's the lightning to Ezekiel Elliott's thunder. So to

696
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 1: your point, Kyle, I don't think it's about, oh, well,

697
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 1: let's give Pollard proportionately, you know, more touches in comparison

698
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 1: to Ezekiel Elliott. It's hey, just giving more touches and

699
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 1: kind of take what the defense is given you. We

700
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 1: saw not two weeks ago Pollard have a hundred yard

701
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:04,880
Speaker 1: game and Ezekiel Elliott was still very much involved in

702
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 1: that game, but it was Pollard's day. There's going to

703
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 1: be coming up here soon. There's gonna be a day

704
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 1: where it's Ezekiel Elliot's day. It might be Philadelphia, because

705
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:15,880
Speaker 1: guess who has fantastic games in Philadelphia, Ezekiel Elliott. So

706
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 1: to me, as long as it's constantly working in tandem,

707
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:23,880
Speaker 1: I don't really care whose day it is because ultimately

708
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 1: the dove is all that matters. Does do people feel

709
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 1: as if Zeke did not have a good day? Is

710
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 1: that the So I think there shouts the slash players, Well, yeah,

711
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,239
Speaker 1: I think it's that if it's not flashing, people are

712
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 1: looking at this is the wrong way. Yeah. The reason why,

713
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 1: the fact is because Freaky Zeki is the battering ram.

714
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 1: This is a swat team. He's the first dude up

715
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 1: to the door. Boom boom boom, right, bust the door down,

716
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:49,880
Speaker 1: and then he gets out the way, and then what

717
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 1: then your boys go in there? Right? They got the

718
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 1: shields and you can't get in the door unless you

719
00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:59,400
Speaker 1: got the batter and stress right there with the Legos analogy,

720
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 1: you just right, you're not sitting the second wave in

721
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 1: there first. You need the first wave to go in there,

722
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:06,279
Speaker 1: you know. And and Nate said it again yesterday. You

723
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:08,799
Speaker 1: know he's a meat tender riser. That's what his game

724
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 1: has transformed into. You can't expect players to keep their

725
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 1: same I mean, Zeke has it was never just the

726
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:18,359
Speaker 1: most explosive guy in his career. I mean, he had

727
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 1: explosive plays, but you can't do you were he was

728
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 1: never gonna run away from people. Sixteen he did, And

729
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:26,360
Speaker 1: that's why people keep going back to sixteen hurbling guys

730
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:29,759
Speaker 1: and how was he? You know what I'm saying something

731
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 1: like your game, your game adjust, right, Yeah, you've seen

732
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 1: how many players come through here, and your game has

733
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 1: to adjust. There's things that players do earlier in their

734
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:40,759
Speaker 1: career is that they can't continue. They can't withstand that

735
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:43,279
Speaker 1: they can't continue keep putting that out. Your body starts

736
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:45,800
Speaker 1: getting older, you start taking on more more hits, you

737
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 1: start wearing down, and guess what, you don't have the

738
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 1: juice that you want to have. You don't have the

739
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 1: strength that you want to have. So guess what, So

740
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:53,719
Speaker 1: you start making other aspects of your game that much

741
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 1: more heightened. You think about ray Lewis. Ray Lewis ran

742
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 1: it came in the league running around, busting everybody in

743
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 1: their head. Ed Reid came in there, ripping and a running,

744
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:02,240
Speaker 1: coming to the line of scrimmage, running out of it anything.

745
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:04,719
Speaker 1: Then guess what, film study that's my advantage. Now I

746
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 1: lost the step. So now I'm gonna elevate my mind

747
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:09,080
Speaker 1: more so I don't have to play as fast, right,

748
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 1: I could make better, more strategic moves. That's where Zeke's

749
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 1: adding in his career right now. You can't have those

750
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:17,879
Speaker 1: same expectations thinking that Zeke's gonna do Pollard things. They're

751
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 1: a great tandem. Understand what they how they work together

752
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 1: and appreciate and some and Zeke average three point five

753
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 1: yards of carey. I want to go back and see

754
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 1: some of that is defined short yardage situations too, that

755
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 1: he's picking up. It's the contract. People mad about the

756
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 1: contract and all that. They don't look at the little

757
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 1: things he does. And Michael Gelkin from The Morning News

758
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:39,400
Speaker 1: longest plays so far from the Cowboys this year are

759
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard forty five yard catch, forty six yard run,

760
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 1: fifty seven yard run. He's the home run threat. Yeah,

761
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 1: Zeke does. And people, if you don't like Zeke, you

762
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 1: don't want to hear about the little stuff. He does

763
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:52,320
Speaker 1: some of the little things too. If you want to

764
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 1: quibble with Tony Pollard and maybe why he doesn't get

765
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 1: on the field as much as maybe you want him to,

766
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 1: look at the sack by Jalen Rams where he crushed

767
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush and there was looked like a miscommunication where

768
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,879
Speaker 1: Tony blocked inside didn't see him coming off the edge.

769
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 1: That kind of thing. That's why Zeke is a third

770
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:10,800
Speaker 1: down back still in this league, even though if you

771
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:13,480
Speaker 1: don't like the lack of the explosive place compared to Tep.

772
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:16,480
Speaker 1: It's a combination. It's a combination of two things. A

773
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:18,960
Speaker 1: Number one, I think you're hard pressed to find any

774
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:21,839
Speaker 1: player in nfil history, or more than five I'd say

775
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 1: that have throughout the the totality of their career never

776
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:28,880
Speaker 1: had to adjust because film didn't matter. Troy Polamal was

777
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:30,759
Speaker 1: one guy. He got older, he was like, yeah, I

778
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 1: don't care what film your story, you just can't stop me.

779
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 1: But it's also the fact that because Pollard is here.

780
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:40,800
Speaker 1: The Cowboys aren't asking Ezekiel Elliott to be that that

781
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 1: Homer and three. So if they get it from Zeke,

782
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:45,320
Speaker 1: they're like, oh, great, fantastic, this is wonderful. But they're like,

783
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:48,360
Speaker 1: we have the other guy who's tasked with doing that.

784
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 1: So left hand plus right hand equals a full compliment.

785
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 1: Why is? But I guess it goes back to your

786
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,759
Speaker 1: your statement about the contract, like do people not understand

787
00:38:56,920 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 1: what he does in the passing? They don't answer question,

788
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:04,719
Speaker 1: I don't care question for a whole game and see

789
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:07,360
Speaker 1: how well you're passing down. Totally agree they don't. But

790
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 1: it's not it's not feed me twenty sixteen Zeke hurdling

791
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 1: guys and all that. That's jumping out of the Salvation

792
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:17,960
Speaker 1: army kettle. Like that's that's what people compare it all to.

793
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 1: He is still a valuable and Carlo and you know,

794
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 1: kudos to Ezekiel Elliott and and his his level of

795
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 1: football maturity and understanding that he's a third down back,

796
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 1: a three down back, and he can be a three

797
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 1: down back. But he's no longer the Bill cow in

798
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 1: the system that also features Tony Poller. He has absolutely

799
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:39,840
Speaker 1: embraced the tandem, and yet you have some fans that

800
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:41,480
Speaker 1: are simply like, oh, well, we need to get him

801
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 1: out of here and poulit needs to be the feature back.

802
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 1: For as much as Polar delivers, you know, the home

803
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 1: run ball, et cetera, et cetera, the dirty work that

804
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:53,879
Speaker 1: Zeke does. If you, I promise you you really want

805
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 1: to ask Polar to do the dirty work. Yeah, for

806
00:39:56,800 --> 00:40:00,799
Speaker 1: three downs every single week, every single year, You're going

807
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:04,239
Speaker 1: to be disappointed. But if you keep this tandem, then

808
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 1: you're you're going to be pleased. Zeke is still a

809
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 1: guy who can turn a one yard run into three.

810
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 1: Like there's still no wasted motion for him. He does

811
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:18,240
Speaker 1: little things on tape that you're like, damn, he's moving

812
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:20,719
Speaker 1: the pile. He's still he's still a beast in there.

813
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:22,880
Speaker 1: Bottom line, we've got two playoffs right now, right for

814
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 1: baseball baseball playoffs. Tony Potter is a designated hitter. Okay,

815
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:30,719
Speaker 1: I asked you to do one thing. One thing. I

816
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:33,319
Speaker 1: ask you to do one job. Nobody has a problem

817
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:35,719
Speaker 1: designated hitters until they do what Until they don't hit?

818
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 1: My problem? So Tony Potter comes to the game, you're

819
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 1: the expectation is we need a splash play out of you.

820
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:44,800
Speaker 1: That's it here here, it is his only job. Here's

821
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 1: my overarching problem with fans that want one or the other.

822
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:51,799
Speaker 1: Learn how to enjoy two good things at the same time.

823
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 1: You don't have to choose. So, for example, jay Ron

824
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 1: crist was coming back, the conversation was, oh, with curses

825
00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 1: coming back, what I'm gonna do with Dono Ei Ei.

826
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:02,920
Speaker 1: It's always this or that, but it doesn't have to

827
00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:05,880
Speaker 1: be at certain positions one team until you actually have

828
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:08,920
Speaker 1: the certain Tony Pollard is really good at what Tony

829
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:11,760
Speaker 1: Pollard does. Ezekiel Elliott is really good at what Ezekiel

830
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:15,520
Speaker 1: Elliott does. Put those two together and they formed like Voltron.

831
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 1: Where do you fall on this? You've been awfully quiet,

832
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 1: I've honestly, that was the best segment I think I've

833
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:23,360
Speaker 1: ever had as a host because I just kind of

834
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 1: lofted it up and you guys took it and rant

835
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:27,080
Speaker 1: with it. I didn't need to say anything, Honestly, I

836
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:29,440
Speaker 1: turned into a fan there. I love listening to that

837
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:31,600
Speaker 1: back and forth because it is a debate and I

838
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 1: think it kind of falls in the middle of where

839
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:36,400
Speaker 1: you guys are saying it has to be a tandem

840
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:39,239
Speaker 1: back and forth. You can certainly have more of one

841
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 1: or more of the other, but it's better when it

842
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:43,839
Speaker 1: works like it did yesterday. I think if you could

843
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 1: draw it up and you could ask everybody on the

844
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:48,320
Speaker 1: other side of the building right now what their ideal

845
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 1: running game would look like, it would be Week five

846
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:53,320
Speaker 1: of the NFL season against the La Rams. That was

847
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:55,560
Speaker 1: their ideal running game, and they got to win because

848
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 1: it helped your defense and it helps you beat the

849
00:41:57,680 --> 00:41:59,480
Speaker 1: reigning Super Bowl champs. All right, when we come back,

850
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:02,799
Speaker 1: we'll have the quickest helmet stickers segment you've ever seen

851
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 1: here on Talking Cowboys, presented by Black Rifle Coffee Company.

852
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:09,239
Speaker 1: Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the

853
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:12,239
Speaker 1: Cheetah Savanna. Todd believe the big Cat repellent he bought

854
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 1: online was reliable, and now Todd is trying to be

855
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 1: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per home.

856
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 1: But the good news is Todd has at and T

857
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:23,000
Speaker 1: five g. It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he

858
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:25,160
Speaker 1: learned the best thing to do is stop running and

859
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:27,960
Speaker 1: toss her the backpack with the beef stew at and

860
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 1: T five G fast, reliable, secure, It's not complicated. Five

861
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 1: G requires compatible plan and device. Five G may not

862

00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 1: Defensive lineman who is not only a starter on this defense,

923
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:12,399
Speaker 1: but is a key special teams guy that is rare

924
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:15,840
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Like I said, he spotted him ten points,

925
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:19,480
Speaker 1: signed him to what a two year, fourteen million dollars

926
00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 1: deal in the off season, and uh, that looks like

927
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:24,799
Speaker 1: one of the best moves that they've made in a while.

928
00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:29,840
Speaker 1: All Right for me, I'm going with the mango, and

929
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 1: this is gonna be real simple for me. It's going

930
00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:35,719
Speaker 1: to Michael Parsons. Michael Parsons gets the mango because he

931
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:40,719
Speaker 1: only has two gears. Stuff and go, so man go

932
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:46,200
Speaker 1: I like it, Man, go the Kyle. You're just gonna

933
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:48,799
Speaker 1: just take us into the ditch here with something. Yeah,

934
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:51,680
Speaker 1: wrap up. I wanted to grab this plumb right here,

935
00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:53,680
Speaker 1: but it's not a sticker. I fell for it again.

936
00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:55,200
Speaker 1: We felt we did this a couple of weeks ago,

937
00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:57,960
Speaker 1: where it was like, it's not actually a stick. Where's

938
00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:02,240
Speaker 1: this going? Um, I don't know. I'm gonna grab this line.

939
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:07,040
Speaker 1: This is a line. Why are you laughing? Just waiting

940
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:09,080
Speaker 1: for something to happen here. I'm gonna give it to

941
00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:11,879
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard because he squeezed out a fantastic run there

942
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:17,600
Speaker 1: and got that fifty seven yarder, the touchdown. Tony Pollard

943
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:22,200
Speaker 1: in the middle of this's gonna get the line. Got

944
00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:25,239
Speaker 1: it done. Cowboys, get it done. Twenty two to ten.

Speaker 1: the segment comes up and trying to throw off man

949
00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:45,160
Speaker 1: because of one day and dirty mind. And we've gotten

950
00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:47,600
