Speaker 1: The following. He's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club Cowboys. This he's Talking Cowboys,
Speaker 1: straining live from the Dallas Cowboys World Hours at the
Speaker 1: Star in Frisco. Elliot flowing to the goal line and
Speaker 1: now your hosts Iaiah stand Back, Patrick Walker and Kyle Yeomans.
Speaker 1: It is a Terrific Thursday edition of Talking Cowboys presented
Speaker 1: by Black Rifle Coffee Company, the official coffee of the
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys. As we welcome you into the Star in
Speaker 1: Frisco and the s WBC studios alongside Isaiah stand Back,
Speaker 1: Patrick Nose Walker, We've got Chris Beam in the back.
Speaker 1: I'm Kyle Yeoman's gentleman. How are we doing today? Fantas
Speaker 1: terrific terrific Thursday? Yeah, it is. It's hard to make.
Speaker 1: I try and do like an alliteration before every show.
Speaker 1: Thursday is the one that I always cary, I have
Speaker 1: a I don't know, I have a tough time with it.
Speaker 1: Maybe I should just do like a like a touchdown Thursday.
Speaker 1: We are safe. I can't really say thirsty Thursday, because
Speaker 1: I mean, unless it's Black Rifle Coffee, thirsty could do that.
Speaker 1: Why don't just just keep it simple, terrific Thursday. Yeah,
Speaker 1: something something of that nature, tantalizing, don't overthink it, don't
Speaker 1: overthink it, don't overthink it. Okay, I want I want
Speaker 1: over again. That was one of your favorite tiger milk.
Speaker 1: Tiger milk Thursdays. Yeah, Tiger milk Thursday. Maybe that's what
Speaker 1: we'll do. And then, of course we've got to say
Speaker 1: it with your chest Friday coming up tomorrow, I'll have
Speaker 1: I'll have updated standings and everything for for everybody tomorrow,
Speaker 1: so that way we can head into the final weekend
Speaker 1: to the regular season and really do it in style.
Speaker 1: Speaking of uh, one of the final times we're doing something.
Speaker 1: We're getting down to the nitty gritty on this news
Speaker 1: and notes thing we are we are. It's it's bittersweet
Speaker 1: because that means the season is we've only got like
Speaker 1: a yeah, we've only got like a month and a
Speaker 1: half left of that of the season. That is correct.
Speaker 1: That's why we're focusing on the teams like the Bills
Speaker 1: in the Chiefs wink wink, hint hint. News and Notes
Speaker 1: for Week eighteen against the Washington Commander is what would
Speaker 1: Rob do? WWRD I started foremost of the start off
Speaker 1: news and notes. Everyone continuing to keep Damar Hamling in
Speaker 1: their prayers. There has been progress made, but he is
Speaker 1: still sedated. Not out of the woods by a long shot,
Speaker 1: but he has man can progress, So prayers are working.
Speaker 1: Keep that up from the Cowboys front, we spoke on
Speaker 1: it yesterday. Has been confirmed. It was confirmed shortly after
Speaker 1: the show wrapped on yesterday. James Washington was in fact waived.
Speaker 1: He is, as every veteran is after the trade deadline,
Speaker 1: subject to waivers. If he does clear waivers, it's my
Speaker 1: understanding the Cowboys are not adverse to bringing him back
Speaker 1: to the practice squad, so we'll see if that happens.
Speaker 1: I was at three pm today, that's three pm today,
Speaker 1: and I was having a conversation with Nick Eatman yesterday
Speaker 1: wondering who might claim Washington playoff wise and not my bulls.
Speaker 1: I landed on the New York Giants, and not as
Speaker 1: a means of being petty against the Cowboys. I mean
Speaker 1: that would be the sprinkles on the ice cream for them.
Speaker 1: But they need some wide receiver help, so I could
Speaker 1: see that happening, but hopefully it does not. But wherever
Speaker 1: James Washington Lands because he's such a good dude. Like
Speaker 1: we've said yesterday, I hope it works out well for him.
Speaker 1: Matt Farniyak, his twenty one day window was activated on yesterday.
Speaker 1: He was back at practice for the Cowboys. Keep in
Speaker 1: mind for those that may not know, twenty one days
Speaker 1: it's the time frame that the Cowboys have to either
Speaker 1: activate him to the fifty three man roster or revert
Speaker 1: him back to IR, which would be season ending. But
Speaker 1: he is trending well for the Cow's offensive line depth
Speaker 1: backup center behind Tyler Biadish from the practice squad, Wanye Thomas,
Speaker 1: the safety, was moved to practice squad reserve injured reserve,
Speaker 1: so he's there with Alec Lenstrom with injury. Good news
Speaker 1: from the Cowboys legends front. We have three Cowboys legends
Speaker 1: who are up for possible induction into the Pro Football
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. We have Chuck Howley, who is a
Speaker 1: senior who's possibly entering as a senior, DeMarcus Ware. This
Speaker 1: is de Ware's second attempt. We could all argue he
Speaker 1: should have been first ballot. But while we're arguing, where
Speaker 1: should have gotten in by now? Darren Woodson yea is
Speaker 1: a finalist. Darren Woodson, he should have been in a
Speaker 1: long time, the absolute goat safety is a finalist and
Speaker 1: hopefully this is the year that he does not get snubbed.
Speaker 1: Let the king in shout out to Woody. Woody is
Speaker 1: just the man quick injury front. As far as the
Speaker 1: injury report yesterday, Cowboys only had two who did not
Speaker 1: participate Tyler Biadish, which was expected. He is expected to
Speaker 1: return for the playoffs, though Kelvin Joseph did not participate
Speaker 1: with a tooth issue. Toothache, however you want to describe it.
Speaker 1: We spent way too much time on Twitter talking about
Speaker 1: this man's mouth yesterday. Tony Pollard, he used the headline here.
Speaker 1: He was a full participant, not just back at practice
Speaker 1: with the thought issue that they rested last week. Again noted,
Speaker 1: not limited. Full Okay, Tony Pollard is back and he's
Speaker 1: going to get those twelve or thirteen yards. That man's
Speaker 1: gonna get him a thousand yards this week. And then
Speaker 1: hopefully they sit them down and let Malik and Zeke
Speaker 1: do their thing, or Zeke Malik, let's put it in
Speaker 1: the right aspect. Washington commanders. I guess they're burning through
Speaker 1: their PTO days before this season is over. They literally
Speaker 1: had one, two, three, four, or five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven,
Speaker 1: twelve players who did not participate in practice, which basically
Speaker 1: means they didn't have a practice. Jonathan Allen, Montes Swit,
Speaker 1: Antonio Gibson, i'man Davis. The list goes on and knowing
Speaker 1: these are starters. So the Washington Commanders, I'm not saying
Speaker 1: they're mailing it in, but they didn't have practice yesterday
Speaker 1: by all accounts. So that's news and notes hitting into
Speaker 1: this Tiger Milk Thursday. Very nice, very nice. Patrick, Let's
Speaker 1: go into I'm gonna go into Hall of Fame talk
Speaker 1: for a little bit, because three guys that are very
Speaker 1: much so deserving to be in, two of which that
Speaker 1: probably should have been in by now. And then Chuck Howley,
Speaker 1: you talk about not being able to tell the story
Speaker 1: of the NFL in order to be a Hall of Famer.
Speaker 1: He's part of the story of the NFL. He was
Speaker 1: one of the only Super Bowl MVPs, the only Super
Speaker 1: Bowl MVP that was on the losing side because he
Speaker 1: had such a great performance and a losing effort in
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl against the Steelers. But he was phenomenal
Speaker 1: for years around the Cowboys in an absolute legend. But
Speaker 1: let's talk about two of the modern era finalists. The
Speaker 1: Marcus Ware star with him should have gotten in last
Speaker 1: year's a first ballot guy was disappointed not to Cowboys
Speaker 1: and Broncos fans alike discipline and not to see him
Speaker 1: in there. What are your thoughts on d Ware, Isaiah
Speaker 1: and what he brought to the table as a defender.
Speaker 1: D Ub is one of the most dominant players that
Speaker 1: I've played with. Obviously, when I came in here in
Speaker 1: oh seven, he was here still wrecking shop, Yeah, tearing
Speaker 1: things up, and he is a good dude and he's
Speaker 1: a one hell of a player at the same time,
Speaker 1: so I'm definitely on board with him obviously getting in there.
Speaker 1: You know, when you started talking about Hall of Fame,
Speaker 1: it gets real tricky in terms of who should go first,
Speaker 1: who should have been in you know, because you have
Speaker 1: strong feelings. Yeah, the politics or a real thing, but
Speaker 1: also you know, you know, when you start thinking about
Speaker 1: guys like Wood, he's like, okay, yeah, d were, absolutely
Speaker 1: you should be in there. But Wood, he definitely should
Speaker 1: have been in there for a long time. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying so like that's when the Hall
Speaker 1: of Fame stuff starts getting tricky. All these guys that
Speaker 1: we're talking about are definitely worthy of it and they
Speaker 1: will definitely get their jacket. I look forward to seeing
Speaker 1: him when he has his opportunity to put that on.
Speaker 1: But you can't help but love d Were. I mean,
Speaker 1: not only was he a shock shock shop wrecker, but
Speaker 1: he did it with a million dollars smile. I mean,
Speaker 1: the guy's just a fantastic human being, much like Darren
Speaker 1: Woodson is. I mean, you can't find better players on
Speaker 1: the field who are also elite human beings off of
Speaker 1: the field. We're talking about Darren Woodson and DeMarcus wear
Speaker 1: So yeah, get Woody should have been in. I'm going
Speaker 1: to pound this table until I break some knuckles. Pro
Speaker 1: Football Hall of Fame. Let the man in. And like
Speaker 1: you said, both of those guys are fantastic. I was
Speaker 1: just thinking about I did an event probably not put
Speaker 1: three weeks ago and maybe three weeks ago with with
Speaker 1: Darren at the stadium and we kind of had a
Speaker 1: one on one panel interview and whatnot in front of
Speaker 1: a group of people, and I mean, the the amount
Speaker 1: of insight and emotion and passion that that guy has
Speaker 1: for not only the game of football, but for life
Speaker 1: in general. Came from a rough upbringing and then just
Speaker 1: took advantage of every opportunity that he could, fought through
Speaker 1: a bunch of stuff, fought through some demons all the
Speaker 1: way through, and then came out on the other side
Speaker 1: as one of the best to ever put on a
Speaker 1: helmet with the star on the side of it. So
Speaker 1: Darren Woodson, I could not speak more highly of period.
Speaker 1: I think he's a great dude. I think he's very
Speaker 1: much so worthy on the field of getting into the
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame, and he stands for everything that the
Speaker 1: game stands for as well off of the field. So
Speaker 1: very very excited to see him in the Senior Final
Speaker 1: or the modern day finalists to get his shot at
Speaker 1: going in. I wanted to see if you had a
Speaker 1: DeMarcus ware story, one that's appropriate for the air, which
Speaker 1: is good. I don't have one off you don't have one.
Speaker 1: Just we just had a lot of good laughs. I mean,
Speaker 1: do you wears is a good dude? You know to
Speaker 1: your point, he you know, he's a he's a happy
Speaker 1: go lucky guy that just happens to be a let
Speaker 1: dog on the field as well. You know, he gets
Speaker 1: little knuckles and he does a little plane of the apes,
Speaker 1: you know, smash on the ground and and it's a rap,
Speaker 1: you know, and he goes back to laughing and smiling,
Speaker 1: you know, and then then he's backed out there and
Speaker 1: he's like, okay, let's go time. You know. He just
Speaker 1: he has one heck of a motor, one heck of
Speaker 1: a drive. The way in which he approached the game
Speaker 1: was always awesome. I'm always I was a sponge in
Speaker 1: terms of, you know, just being around really great guys
Speaker 1: and seeing what they did well. He prepared well, he
Speaker 1: practiced well. M every everything about him, like you guys
Speaker 1: already mentioned it, on and off the field, is awesome.
Speaker 1: So he's a He is exactly what you wanted as
Speaker 1: a role model for this game. You talk about his
Speaker 1: charity work, I mean that it's incomparable um and also
Speaker 1: just from a football aspect, he's still contributing to the game,
Speaker 1: to the sport and to this organization. Look at the
Speaker 1: work he does in the all season with Michael Parsons
Speaker 1: for example. Yeah, but Michael Parson has become a better
Speaker 1: pass Rusher, so just just all around phenomenal guy and
Speaker 1: DeMarcus where as well as Darren Woodson. And to your
Speaker 1: point again, we can't speak highly enough of either of
Speaker 1: those guys, Um, but when it comes to Darren Woodson,
Speaker 1: you're starting to feel the Drew Pearson esk vibe around
Speaker 1: Darren Woodson when it comes to the Pro Football Hall
Speaker 1: of Fame where it's like, why is this taking so long? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it wants to take him so long. So hopefully you know, Woody,
Speaker 1: if you're listening, hopefully this push between your fans and
Speaker 1: your resume and in the organization and just the league
Speaker 1: as a whole, Hopefully this is the year for you,
Speaker 1: because no one's more deserving. Hey, Biemer, you got to
Speaker 1: spend a lot of time with both of those guys,
Speaker 1: and I know you you know both d Ware and
Speaker 1: Darren Woodson quite well. Do you have any stories or
Speaker 1: any thoughts on on both those guys getting in and
Speaker 1: having a shot to get in as a finalist? More
Speaker 1: from probably well both of them really, I've I've spent
Speaker 1: a lot of time with Yeah, I was, I was
Speaker 1: really close to Um where kind of early on in
Speaker 1: his career. UM we took a couple vacations together. Nothing
Speaker 1: I can say on that. We had one of those
Speaker 1: stories in Mexico I got. I got to hear him
Speaker 1: later though. Yeah, just funny stories. But I think my
Speaker 1: biggest thing about Darren Woodson is is when I came
Speaker 1: to the league. I started with the Cowboys in nineteen
Speaker 1: ninety nine. It's my first year. I was an intern,
Speaker 1: you know, you know, fresh out college and and I
Speaker 1: mean this guy was back I mean ninety nine. He's huge,
Speaker 1: he's you know, captain, huge player. And the one thing
Speaker 1: you always remember I always remember about him is when
Speaker 1: he first met you, he asked your name and he
Speaker 1: never forgot it. Yeah, you know, it's not like hey, dude,
Speaker 1: what's up, what's up? Man? You know, like he was
Speaker 1: always like, what's up, Chris, and how you doing? You know,
Speaker 1: That's how he is. He's very he's very very genuine.
Speaker 1: Um is such a great dude. Yeah yeah, really, well
Speaker 1: say yeah he does that now he does that to everybody.
Speaker 1: If he's interacted with you in the building, he knows
Speaker 1: him or outside of the building, he knows your Here's
Speaker 1: the question, is he going in as a Cowboy or Bronco? Where? Where? Uh?
Speaker 1: Cowboy and I don't even think it's close. I don't.
Speaker 1: I agree. I believe he built his Hall of Fame
Speaker 1: career as a cowboy. He wanted to ring as a Bronchi,
Speaker 1: all right, he put the exclamation point when it in Denver,
Speaker 1: but without what he achieved in in Dallas. But in
Speaker 1: the NFL, you don't go in as as team. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's not like it's not like Cooperstown where you have
Speaker 1: the hat to pick a hat. Yeah, so it'll have
Speaker 1: both on his on his plaque underneath that's a Hall
Speaker 1: of Fame. But yeah, most of the Arizona two years
Speaker 1: on there. That's why he retired as a cowboy. That's
Speaker 1: why he can't make him return. Yeah he did one day. Contra,
Speaker 1: Yeah he did. All right, let's step aside. When we
Speaker 1: come back. What is the offensive line going to look
Speaker 1: like this week? Is there a possibility of maybe Matt
Speaker 1: farneyak filling in for Tyler Beiottish? And did we like
Speaker 1: the way that the coaching staff adjusted things when Beotis
Speaker 1: went down against Tennessee. We're gonna preview the Cowboys offense
Speaker 1: and the Washington Commanders deep fence right after this with
Speaker 1: more talking Cowboys. When you build, you start with the foundation,

Speaker 1: All right. Tyler Beatis goes down in the middle of
Speaker 1: Thursday night football last week against the Tennessee Titans. It's
Speaker 1: not as what we've fared initially is like a hammy
Speaker 1: or a thigh or an acl It's a high ankle sprain.
Speaker 1: He's out, possibly until or most likely until the playoffs,
Speaker 1: could be longer, who knows, depending on the severity of
Speaker 1: the high ankle sprain. However, they made an adjustment that
Speaker 1: I don't think everybody really anticipated, but it also made
Speaker 1: a lot of sense. Was Connor McGovern went from left
Speaker 1: guard to center. Tyler Bottish or Tyler Smith rather slid
Speaker 1: from left tackle to left guard, and then Jason Peters
Speaker 1: was your left guard. They kept the right side the
Speaker 1: same and they just slid both McGovern and Tyler Smith
Speaker 1: down into the interior. Isaiah, when you looked at that
Speaker 1: move and what they were able to do after that move,
Speaker 1: were you okay with it? And is that something that
Speaker 1: you can anticipate this Cowboys team doing Heading into Week
Speaker 1: eighteen against Washington, they're gonna be playing musical chairs again.
Speaker 1: You know. Coach Fieldman's back on the hot seat in
Speaker 1: terms of all eyes on him trying to figure out
Speaker 1: exactly what he's going to do with that front. The
Speaker 1: good news is he has options. You know, he's had,
Speaker 1: He has viable options. That's the main thing we've seen
Speaker 1: him have to deal with this in recent years. We
Speaker 1: know that he's capable of doing it. So I don't
Speaker 1: think there's any question marks in terms of whether or
Speaker 1: not it could be pulled off. It's just some now
Speaker 1: a matter of wait and see. You know what the
Speaker 1: line ups gonna look like. You know, we've talked about
Speaker 1: this before. Tyler Biad has got hurt. We're trying to
Speaker 1: figure out where it's gonna be. Who was that Smith
Speaker 1: tie run. He's gonna be Tim, who's gonna be like,
Speaker 1: we're all all the tie train trying to figure out
Speaker 1: what was gonna go on. So just add another one
Speaker 1: to it is add another tie into the into the mix. So, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, going back and watching the last game, you know,
Speaker 1: Farniak he actually had a pretty um engaged role in
Speaker 1: this in the game against Washington last time, but he
Speaker 1: was just mainly playing fullback. So I think that you
Speaker 1: will probably see him based upon Coach's comments yesterday in
Speaker 1: his press conference, I can imagine that he'll be in
Speaker 1: there um is snapping the ball a few times, if
Speaker 1: not the whole time. Yeah, I think that's it's very
Speaker 1: possible that they handled this similarly to how they did
Speaker 1: with Toronto Smith and not using the full twenty one
Speaker 1: day window. It sounds to me as if Varniyak has
Speaker 1: progressed to the point where there is a good chance
Speaker 1: that he could be on the field so this Sunday
Speaker 1: against the Washington Commanders, so the way the Cowboy If so,
Speaker 1: then the way the Cowboys played that injury and managed
Speaker 1: the roster numbers wise, so that if they were to
Speaker 1: lose someone like Tyler Biadis to be able to look
Speaker 1: at Fanniyak and say, okay, you've been looking good. You
Speaker 1: ready for this, and him to be physically ready. That
Speaker 1: would be just masterclass roster management from the Cowboys. So
Speaker 1: if Faraniyak is there, obviously you're still gonna have to
Speaker 1: put him on a rep count because you gotta ramp
Speaker 1: him up. You're not going to throw him in there
Speaker 1: for one hundred percent of the snaps considering how much
Speaker 1: time he's missed the season with that injury, because a
Speaker 1: lot of people thought his injury was going to be
Speaker 1: season ending. So here he is just ahead of the playoffs,
Speaker 1: likely returning, and if that happens, then you just shift
Speaker 1: Connor McGovern and Tyler Smith back to the left. Connor
Speaker 1: McGovern goes back to left guard, Tyler Smith goes to
Speaker 1: left tackle, Jason Peters falls back to swing tackle duties.
Speaker 1: And obviously we know the right side of the line
Speaker 1: is already set with Zach Martin and Toron Smith. But
Speaker 1: you're still, as his point, you're going to have to
Speaker 1: play some kind of musical chairs because, like I said,
Speaker 1: you're going to have to ramp Forni Yak up. If
Speaker 1: he's available, So in those times when you pull him,
Speaker 1: you're going to see the same rotation you saw on
Speaker 1: the back end of the Titans game when Beotist went down. Yeah, gosh,
Speaker 1: you look back at and it's a dangerous for it
Speaker 1: to have to do this against Yeah, let's I mean,
Speaker 1: let's take a look back to early twenty twenty one.
Speaker 1: So right at the beginning of twenty twenty one, six
Speaker 1: guys were in the conversation of being on that offensive line.
Speaker 1: Five of those six guys are either no longer on
Speaker 1: the team or playing in a different spot now. The
Speaker 1: only guy that's been the same has been Zach Martin.
Speaker 1: Everybody else is either playing in a completely different spot
Speaker 1: or they're no longer on the team. And the six
Speaker 1: guys included Lyle Collins, who's gone and Connor Williams gone.
Speaker 1: Five of the six guys who started this season as well,
Speaker 1: that we're in that station or four of the six
Speaker 1: guys are playing different positions at the moment. And that's
Speaker 1: everybody except for Zach Martin and then Jason Peters, who
Speaker 1: wasn't even on the roster at the start of the season,
Speaker 1: but he was expected to come in and be your
Speaker 1: swing tackles, so that's kind of what he's doing now.
Speaker 1: Is the offensive line the biggest question mark on this
Speaker 1: offense heading into the playoffs because your wide receivers at
Speaker 1: least you're getting Ceedee Lamb getting off and running, and
Speaker 1: he's been phenomenal lately. But you're getting some production sprinkled
Speaker 1: in there from the other guys. You're getting some sprinkled
Speaker 1: production from your tight ends. Is it offensive line that's
Speaker 1: the biggest worry or is there no? Okay, no? And
Speaker 1: I think I know where you're headed with this. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know exactly where I'm going with this. It's the
Speaker 1: person who's been throwing the ball to the other team.
Speaker 1: If we have enough offensive linement, regardless of what position
Speaker 1: they decided to be playing that particular day, we have
Speaker 1: the guys that can do it. And I have all
Speaker 1: of the commnence in the boat of compidence in the
Speaker 1: world and Philpin's ability to put together a productive offensive line.
Speaker 1: And when you said hot seed earlier, you didn't mean no, no,
Speaker 1: not not in a bad way. I'm just seeing I
Speaker 1: meaning all eyes on him. He's in a glass bowl again,
Speaker 1: right like everybody is all eyes around him. Is magnified
Speaker 1: what he decides to do because he's done this for
Speaker 1: literally for two or straight years, shuffling guys around on
Speaker 1: the offensive line, and that's not easy to do. He
Speaker 1: just has more guys to do it with this time around,
Speaker 1: So you should feel more confident in his ability to
Speaker 1: put together something that's actually productive this year. So that
Speaker 1: should not be your point of concern. It needs to
Speaker 1: be on the turnovers. We cannot We've talked about the
Speaker 1: yesterday way. You can't keep turning the ball over. You
Speaker 1: just can't do it, especially going to the playoffs. The
Speaker 1: teams that you're gonna be playing are just happened to
Speaker 1: be the best teams in the league. Right You're playing
Speaker 1: professional athletes who are the best in the world. You're
Speaker 1: playing really really good teams collectively, and now you're gonna
Speaker 1: be playing the best teams in the league. Right, So
Speaker 1: you can't give teams more opportunities. We talked about that
Speaker 1: as well, so that has to be sure. I'm not concerned.
Speaker 1: I am concerning about the offensive line in regards to
Speaker 1: the running game against this particular defensive front, because this
Speaker 1: defensive front is complete dogs and they dominated against us
Speaker 1: last time. We played them, and they dominate pretty much
Speaker 1: most of the teams that they play because they have Alan,
Speaker 1: they have dog on, sweat pain pain. Oh and by
Speaker 1: the way, they got that other cat back now who
Speaker 1: just having to be our first chase young. So they
Speaker 1: have their whole ensemble, their whole Avenger squad is right
Speaker 1: there sitting there waiting for you. So this is not
Speaker 1: the week that you want to be shuffling things around,
Speaker 1: but you are capable of handling it. It's just gonna
Speaker 1: be interesting to see how well they play together, because
Speaker 1: we know that the officer line works in continuity, right
Speaker 1: like you have to be hip to hip, you gotta
Speaker 1: be engaged, be on the same page, work together. And
Speaker 1: these guys that are gonna be playing together, particularly this week,
Speaker 1: have not done so. And that's that's my main thing.
Speaker 1: It's this continuity. But the good news is is that
Speaker 1: the Cowboys do expect Tyler Beads to be back on
Speaker 1: the field at the start of the playoffs. And you know,
Speaker 1: I know everyone's saying with high ankle spraining, high kles praying,
Speaker 1: I get it, but not all high ankle sprains are
Speaker 1: the same, similar in severity, and to the Cowboys point,
Speaker 1: it's not the first one that he suffered, so that does,
Speaker 1: in fact make it a little bit easier to know
Speaker 1: how to come back from it, played through it sooner.
Speaker 1: So I would say I have a concern about the
Speaker 1: offensive line from a continuity standpoint for Week eighteen only
Speaker 1: as long as Tyler Biadis is back in the mix
Speaker 1: for Super Wild Car weekend, assuming the Cowboys don't get
Speaker 1: a buy because they still have a shot at it,
Speaker 1: but because I think they're offensive line that they've mostly
Speaker 1: played with for twenty twenty two, save to Ron Smith
Speaker 1: coming back later in the season and going to right
Speaker 1: tackle after the loss of Terran Steel, for the most part,
Speaker 1: they'll be fine there, more than fine there for the
Speaker 1: playoffs Week eighteen, though you're going against a stable of horses.
Speaker 1: You've shifted guys over to the right. Conor mcgoverned. You
Speaker 1: know he's taken some reps at center, but last season
Speaker 1: he took some reps at center, and there were a
Speaker 1: couple of arrant snaps and a couple issues there. And
Speaker 1: you're gonna try to work Farniyak in if Farniyak is
Speaker 1: able to be at debated and put into this game.
Speaker 1: So you got some question marks there as far as
Speaker 1: who's going to play where and continuity was and this
Speaker 1: isn't the defensive line that you want to have to
Speaker 1: do that against. But if you're asking me, am I
Speaker 1: worried about it for the playoffs? No, I'm not worried
Speaker 1: about it for the playoffs. And this is the first
Speaker 1: time that Dak has seen this Washington front this year.
Speaker 1: Of course, Cooper Rush played against them the first time around.
Speaker 1: In the games that Dak has played this season, there
Speaker 1: have only been two out of the eleven where he
Speaker 1: has not thrown an interception, two out of the eleven
Speaker 1: that he has not done that with And you really
Speaker 1: look at the last when it's a six games two
Speaker 1: one two, two one two. Those are the last six games,
Speaker 1: two interceptions, one interceptions two again and then two one
Speaker 1: two again. Those are the last six. So this is
Speaker 1: the question everybody's got to answer because it's the biggest
Speaker 1: problem on that offense, even with an offensive line that's
Speaker 1: playing musical chairs in front of you. How do you
Speaker 1: fix it? Where do you go? Where do you start?
Speaker 1: You talked about decision making on Tuesday. Where do you
Speaker 1: roll from there? Is it just decision making? Yours? Or
Speaker 1: more to it, a lot of his decision making. Some
Speaker 1: of it is yeah, decision making an execution. I honestly,
Speaker 1: and obviously you know, I watch a good amount of film.
Speaker 1: I think that a large part of Dack's issues with
Speaker 1: the turnovers in terms of the interceptions this year are
Speaker 1: in part to lack of identification, either either the lack
Speaker 1: of identification of coverage or the disregard of the coverage
Speaker 1: and continue to try to force the ball where it
Speaker 1: shouldn't go. It's one of those two. We've seen tip balls,
Speaker 1: we've seen drop balls, We've seen some of those things
Speaker 1: that happen with every quarterback. Kay, those you don't hold
Speaker 1: against him, But some of these other ones. When I
Speaker 1: watched the film, I'm like, either he didn't acknowledge, he
Speaker 1: didn't identify and acknowledge what that defense was doing, or
Speaker 1: he just said, I understand what they're doing, and I
Speaker 1: have so much finance and my abilities and so much
Speaker 1: confident in my guy's abilities that they're gonna make the
Speaker 1: play anyway. Either way, it turns out bad, so he's
Speaker 1: gonna have to go back and make some adjustments. Otherwise
Speaker 1: you're gonna continue to see these these issues compound, and
Speaker 1: if those issues compound in the playoffs, we're gonna be
Speaker 1: sitting here next year wrapping it up. So we'll go
Speaker 1: back to one one show a week. My thought is this,
Speaker 1: and we we touched on it yesterday. Um, what percentage
Speaker 1: of Dak's interceptions are accountable to Dak and what percentage
Speaker 1: of the interceptions are accountable to the receivers the targets,
Speaker 1: And just going off of memory, I figured it was
Speaker 1: around forty percent. We confirmed it was around thirty five
Speaker 1: thirty five. There's five of the fourteen and I went
Speaker 1: back and charted it, and there was one that's kind
Speaker 1: of a gray area, but I think it was a
Speaker 1: bad read back. Fair enough, let's say we delete those
Speaker 1: five as far as accountable to Dack. That leaves him
Speaker 1: with nine nine picks. That's still still an issue. That's
Speaker 1: still an issue, and it needs to be cleaned up.
Speaker 1: But it does put it in perspective to say, if
Speaker 1: you take away five of those interceptions, now look at
Speaker 1: it from the context of each one of those interceptions
Speaker 1: and what it did momentum wise at the particular part
Speaker 1: of that respective game. Were the Cowboys in a position
Speaker 1: to put that particular team away. But then the ball
Speaker 1: goes off of Hendershot's hands, or the ball goes off
Speaker 1: of Noah Brown's hands on a you know, overtime drive,
Speaker 1: and you're moving against their defense, and it ends the
Speaker 1: game right then and there. So all interceptions aren't equal.
Speaker 1: And I say that to say, of those five interceptions,
Speaker 1: several of them helped either dictate the game or keep
Speaker 1: the game way closer than the needs of So delete
Speaker 1: those and the Cowboys have the number one seed. And
Speaker 1: even if they have the number one seed at this
Speaker 1: moment as we're talking about it, let's say that still
Speaker 1: leaves Dak with nine interceptions that are one hundred percent
Speaker 1: accountable to him, we would still be sitting here saying
Speaker 1: you should clean that up. So I agree with that
Speaker 1: you should still clean that up. But I think it's
Speaker 1: it's a perspective thing. You can't continue to give the
Speaker 1: ball away regardless of who is accountable for. It doesn't
Speaker 1: matter if if Ceede Lamb didn't carry, didn't go across
Speaker 1: the face of the safety because you trusted him to
Speaker 1: do so he didn't do. So that's a miscommunication between
Speaker 1: QB and wide receiver one. Okay, right, but it can't
Speaker 1: happen in the playoffs, is what we're saying. So keep perspective,
Speaker 1: keep the context. Five of the fourteen belonged to his targets,
Speaker 1: but that still leaves nine belonging to Dak. So his
Speaker 1: targets need to be more focused and keyed in and
Speaker 1: making sure that you get the ball in your hands.
Speaker 1: And of course you're you're planning to catch the ball.
Speaker 1: That's always the plan. But if for whatever reason, that
Speaker 1: goes awry in the millisecond that it hits you, don't
Speaker 1: tip it up, tip drills, turning the interceptions like get
Speaker 1: get the ball to the ground right, better yet better still,
Speaker 1: get it in your hands, get it, yeah, get it
Speaker 1: to the receiver and then hands. But I think I
Speaker 1: love I love what Ceedee Lamb said in this regard
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago. He said, obviously, plan number
Speaker 1: one is to get the ball in your hands, to
Speaker 1: grab the ball, to catch the ball. That's why he's
Speaker 1: throwing the ball to you in the first place, in
Speaker 1: the instant. In the instance that it doesn't happen or
Speaker 1: it comes off of your hands or bobbles or whatever
Speaker 1: and you just can't reel it in, don't juggle it
Speaker 1: and keep it in the air, because that's what defensive
Speaker 1: backs are thirsty four. So that's all I'm saying. Job
Speaker 1: number one is to catch the ball. But if whatever
Speaker 1: reason that goes awry, don't put the church some money
Speaker 1: in the air. And going going back to to Dak
Speaker 1: though here is but nine are still accountable to day.
Speaker 1: Nine are accountable to Dak. And honestly, if it were
Speaker 1: nine interceptions, you would be you would be okay through
Speaker 1: an eighteen game season, right, feel good? That's where I
Speaker 1: was going. Yeah, this is through eleven games that we're
Speaker 1: talking about this level of interceptions there. I mean, this is,
Speaker 1: for instance, set through seventeen games. Last year, the interception
Speaker 1: leaders were Trevor Lawrence and Matthew Stafford with seventeen through
Speaker 1: seventeen games, so that's one per game. Dak is throwing
Speaker 1: fourteen and eleven games accountable to him through eleven games,
Speaker 1: so nearly one per game. I'm a big believer in
Speaker 1: the touchdown to interception ratio because it shows you what
Speaker 1: you're able to do. Last year, Dak was off the
Speaker 1: charts thirty seven and ten. Are you kidding me? That's outstanding?
Speaker 1: One of the best in the league. The league leaders
Speaker 1: in touchdowns, Let's say Matthew staffordtique still through seventeen interceptions,
Speaker 1: so one per game. Justin Herbert he threw thirty eight touchdowns,
Speaker 1: fifteen interceptions, thirty six for Josh Allen touchdowns fifteen interceptions.
Speaker 1: Some of the guys that are comparatable though to what
Speaker 1: Dak is doing this year, Taylor Heineke twenty interceptions, I mean,
Speaker 1: twenty touchdowns, fifteen interceptions. Derek Carr twenty three touchdowns, fourteen
Speaker 1: interceptions through seventeen games. Again, these are full game, full seasons,
Speaker 1: and Dak has played in eleven games. Ryan Tannehill twenty
Speaker 1: one touchdowns, fourteen interceptions, which is almost exactly the touchdown
Speaker 1: the interception ratio that Dak has right now. Mac jonesy
Speaker 1: two touchdowns, thirteen interceptions. Those are four guys that I
Speaker 1: just name that are either in a quarterback competition or
Speaker 1: will not be quarterable, or are not quarterbacking at all
Speaker 1: in their respective team. And I'm not saying bench Dak Prescott,
Speaker 1: that is not what I'm saying you're speaking. I'm saying
Speaker 1: that statistically lines up with what has been happening there.
Speaker 1: Their teams aren't as good as what Dak is working
Speaker 1: with right now, Dak is still able to win despite
Speaker 1: some of these turnovers in the regular season that will
Speaker 1: not continue into the playoffs. I agree. And the good
Speaker 1: news is he can correct all this. Yeah, he absolutely can.
Speaker 1: He's good enough to correct. It's the most easily fixable item. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it are the interceptions between the receivers in the in
Speaker 1: the quarterback, it's the most easily corrected. Receivers catch the
Speaker 1: ball when it's thrown to you, Dak, make sure you're
Speaker 1: making better decisions in tight windows and things like that.
Speaker 1: It's the most easily correctable. And in fantastic stat with
Speaker 1: the with his numbers last year, and that kind of
Speaker 1: prompted me to kind of glance and see what's this
Speaker 1: touchdown percentage? And for those that don't know, and this
Speaker 1: is via Pro Football Reference, the touchdown percentage is percentage
Speaker 1: of touchdowns throwing when attempting to pass with a minimum
Speaker 1: of fourteen attempts. Dak Prescott's stellar season last year thirty
Speaker 1: seven touchdowns to only ten interceptions. Yes, he has twenty
Speaker 1: two touchdowns to fourteen interceptions in his eleven games played,
Speaker 1: but he's matching his touchdown percentage career high from last
Speaker 1: year at six point two. It's literally the same. So
Speaker 1: what's the interception, Well, the interception percentages, it's a lot higher.
Speaker 1: I'm not no, I'm not saying that to discount what
Speaker 1: you're saying. Sure, I'm saying that to say it's it's
Speaker 1: to show you just how much more interesting this conversation is,
Speaker 1: because it's not a different Dak Prescott. No, it's not.
Speaker 1: It's just the luck. It's just not it balls not
Speaker 1: bouncing his favor like we disagree, and seeking the fumbles,
Speaker 1: and I don't think it's all luck. Though there are
Speaker 1: a lot of interceptions he's given away, and to say
Speaker 1: nine and to counter in eleven games, it's a lot
Speaker 1: through ten all of last year. But even even on
Speaker 1: the five that we're trying to say that are disregarded
Speaker 1: because the receiver vers bobbled it or didn't care. Just
Speaker 1: saying what I'm saying, like, there's elements of those that
Speaker 1: he has to take responsibility of as well as a quarterback.
Speaker 1: You can take Dak out the picture. Even when the
Speaker 1: ball hits the receiver's hands, it doesn't mean that your
Speaker 1: job was done right just simply because you got it. There,
Speaker 1: there's velocity, there's location, there's there's scenarios, whether you know
Speaker 1: whether or not somebody was on them or whether or
Speaker 1: not there there's there's a defender coming at them. Like,
Speaker 1: there's a whole lot of different other elements that the
Speaker 1: quarterback has to take a responsibility for it that we
Speaker 1: would have to go back and analyze. Let's take let's
Speaker 1: take the Peyton Hinder shot one for example. That was
Speaker 1: right in his chest. How's that on? However, that's not
Speaker 1: that's it was see, but that was it was on,
Speaker 1: it was on his back shoulder. It wasn't a perfect throw. Yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 1: it was definitely not a perfect throw. We do we
Speaker 1: need to quote Michael. I don't even what did Michael say.
Speaker 1: What did he say? Quote his days from Troy in
Speaker 1: playing with Troy Aikman. He said, it's not Troy's job
Speaker 1: to throw me open. His Troy's job to get the
Speaker 1: ball in a catchable radius, and it's my job to
Speaker 1: catch the ball. Absolutely. I don't disagree with that, but
Speaker 1: the reality is, Okay, ask it's the NFL. You throw
Speaker 1: people open. It's a saying and it's cliche for a reason.
Speaker 1: Brett farve. You to throw the ball and get the
Speaker 1: ball to people, right, But he's a break fingers too,
Speaker 1: So at a certain point you have to be you
Speaker 1: have to throw a catchable ball, right. So I mean,
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, there's a lot of So that's
Speaker 1: why I don't just look at stats, right, they don't
Speaker 1: tell the whole picture. But at the same time, Dak
Speaker 1: is not making the same decisions he was making last year.
Speaker 1: And I think that he showed a kink in his
Speaker 1: armor because now teams are starting to really disguise their coverages.
Speaker 1: And the reason why he threw an interception last week
Speaker 1: one of the two interceptions second because they did an
Speaker 1: invert cover two. He didn't either again, he either didn't
Speaker 1: recognize what it was or he just had that much
Speaker 1: faith in Dalton show us that he was going to
Speaker 1: get open one or the two. Either way, it's resulting
Speaker 1: in bad things for the Cowboys. Has to get there.
Speaker 1: There are interceptions in that tally of nine that we're
Speaker 1: talking about nine and eleven games that are just inexcusable.
Speaker 1: Josh Swift pick six, yeah bad. A lot of them
Speaker 1: that were that were in crucial points in the game.
Speaker 1: Like you talked about earlier. Not all interceptions are weighed
Speaker 1: the same, but I would say I would do that
Speaker 1: seven of the nine that have been thrown by Dak
Speaker 1: that have been on him have been in really tough situations, right,
Speaker 1: really tough situation and you have to you have to
Speaker 1: pull the trigger at times. And this is why I
Speaker 1: don't have a I have a problem with like the
Speaker 1: Josh Sweat interception, and I have a problem with Dak's
Speaker 1: second interception against the Titans and not necessarily seeing the
Speaker 1: coverage there. But there are also times where he'll throw
Speaker 1: the interception and you look at he read the coverage
Speaker 1: and he was really trying to frozen rope that thing
Speaker 1: in there, and you're just like, okay, well, you can't
Speaker 1: have it both ways. Because when Cooper Rush was quarterbacking, right,
Speaker 1: there were times where I wanted Cooper Rush to pull
Speaker 1: that trigger, like I see it, that small window it
Speaker 1: was there. You should have pulled it, but you didn't
Speaker 1: because you're the backup quarterback and you don't want to
Speaker 1: be that guy, right, right. So, but when you have
Speaker 1: QB one in there, you're paying him to be able
Speaker 1: to take those risks and you trust that the reward
Speaker 1: will be much more bountiful over the course of a
Speaker 1: season than the risk and the penalties will be. And
Speaker 1: that continues to be the case for Dak Prescott. But
Speaker 1: that's not that doesn't make the second part of this
Speaker 1: argument untrue, which is the level of play in the
Speaker 1: playoffs is much higher, the margin of error is much smaller.
Speaker 1: You can't turn the ball over the Josh Swint interception
Speaker 1: that could lose you a game in the playoffs, no doubt.
Speaker 1: But we I don't want to, for lack of a
Speaker 1: better way to put it, I don't want to neuter
Speaker 1: Dak when it comes to run the office. There are
Speaker 1: certain things you need to be river boat on when
Speaker 1: you see it. If you feel it's there and it's
Speaker 1: the right receiver, and it's the right receiver, and it's
Speaker 1: the right receiver, hint, you fire that thing in there.
Speaker 1: If it's not quote unquote the right receiver. Second guess it,
Speaker 1: take the first down, or if you if you if
Speaker 1: the pressure is there, to take the sack, live to
Speaker 1: fight another day. That's just don't do too much like
Speaker 1: the interception where he was trying to target shots when
Speaker 1: he should have probably either just ran for two yards
Speaker 1: or taken the sack and live to fight another day.
Speaker 1: Those can't have We were nobody in here is saying
Speaker 1: that that Dak needs to be with your term neoter.
Speaker 1: We don't. We don't need that happening. I want Dak
Speaker 1: to have that high risk, high reward mentality. But in
Speaker 1: the past, his high reward has come with a low risks,
Speaker 1: and that hasn't happened this year. It's been more even
Speaker 1: as opposed to what we've seen in the past. That's
Speaker 1: why he's been one of the best in the league.
Speaker 1: He's had the stats, he's had the rewards, but he
Speaker 1: hasn't turned the football over. If you're gonna win in
Speaker 1: the playoffs, you need Dad to be at one hundred
Speaker 1: percent point. Well, let's let's hit it on the other
Speaker 1: side of the break because we're already running really long.

Speaker 1: I'm Kyle Yeoman's what do you have on your Mind's
Speaker 1: a real quick question. I was curious you guys take
Speaker 1: based on what you said ahead of the break, which
Speaker 1: was a great point. Do you think that with the
Speaker 1: departure of Amari Cooper and prior to t Y Hilton
Speaker 1: getting in and you know you had Ceedee Lamb that
Speaker 1: was starting to ramp up when Deck returned or a
Speaker 1: couple of games after Deck return do you think Deck
Speaker 1: because the nine interceptions he's accountable for, do you think
Speaker 1: that's a product of him forcing the ball? Yes, trying
Speaker 1: to do more than he necessarily has. Yes, yes, Why
Speaker 1: it's just it's apparent he's forcing the ball out of
Speaker 1: the fourteen interceptions t row Ball. Yeah, the fourteen interceptions,
Speaker 1: there's easily at least especially in the first part of
Speaker 1: the season, when he easily five interceptions that should have
Speaker 1: taken place easily that were like you could have been
Speaker 1: more interceptions, could have been a higher Oh my god,
Speaker 1: I mean I'm talking about like how did he not
Speaker 1: catch that interceptions? Right? So, yes, he's forcing the ball.
Speaker 1: He admitted it so people could come at me all
Speaker 1: they want to. He admitted it. What did he say
Speaker 1: early on, I'm overly I'm a little I might be
Speaker 1: overly confident, he said it. I'm not creating this is
Speaker 1: this Dack's words, all right. So he has to just
Speaker 1: has to pull back on that. Just stop. It's not
Speaker 1: necessary for you to win games. I think you're making
Speaker 1: those throws. That's not necessary for the Dallas Cowboys to
Speaker 1: win ball game. So if it's not necessary, then don't
Speaker 1: do it as frequently, because the more frequently you do it,
Speaker 1: the greater chance of it happening. Is you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. There's no different than somebody riding a motorcycle.
Speaker 1: The more you ride a motorcycle, the greater chances you
Speaker 1: increase of getting into an accident. Pull back, what do
Speaker 1: you think laying he was playing hero ball? Yeah, a
Speaker 1: little bit, a little bit, And I don't think that's changed,
Speaker 1: necessarily changed. I think he continues to play hero ball
Speaker 1: a little bit. He's good enough to do that. Yes,
Speaker 1: he is very good. He is a great quarterback in
Speaker 1: this league right now. He is one of the top.
Speaker 1: But when he makes decisions that are putting his team
Speaker 1: into situations where it's putting your defense against the wall,
Speaker 1: and you're putting your receivers in a tough situation, and
Speaker 1: you're trying to overestimate the talent that you have arm
Speaker 1: wise to fit it into a whole twenty yards down
Speaker 1: the field or in the middle of the field, when
Speaker 1: there's multiple guys that you're going to have to weave
Speaker 1: through to get it there. That's the type of decision
Speaker 1: making Dak Prescott has not done in the past and
Speaker 1: he's doing this year. That's where there's a difference because
Speaker 1: the numbers show it all the way through. The film
Speaker 1: shows it all the way through. This dude is talented.
Speaker 1: This dude is good enough to take you to the
Speaker 1: Promised Land. However, he can't do it all by himself.
Speaker 1: He's got to allow his team around him to find
Speaker 1: a way to get the job done. Because that's what happens.
Speaker 1: Whenever you win a Super Bowl, you don't win it
Speaker 1: with one guy. I think the emergence of t Y
Speaker 1: Hilton hilps with it. I think so too. Facts Yeah,
Speaker 1: by the way, before we get out of here, the
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills on Twitter just tweeted this out a couple
Speaker 1: minutes ago. Or per the physicians caring for Tomorrow. Hamling
Speaker 1: at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center Tomorrow has shown
Speaker 1: remarkable improvement over the last twenty four hours. While still
Speaker 1: critically ill, he has demonstrated that he appears to be
Speaker 1: neurologically intact. His lungs continue to heal, and he is
Speaker 1: making steady progress. We are grateful for the love and
Speaker 1: support that we have received. That is outstanding. So long
Speaker 1: way Togo Still for tomorrow, Hamlin, continue your prayers and
Speaker 1: continue your support. He is showing improvement, which is great
Speaker 1: to see that coming from the Buffalo Bills Twitter just
