Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
Speaker 2: Cowboys Let's go.
Speaker 3: Are you ready for a break?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 5: Are you ready for a break?
Speaker 3: Absolutely? Ready for a break?
Speaker 5: Yeah, and so much for that.
Speaker 1: It's time for The Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: with mbar Garcia, Brian brought Us, Patrick Walker, and Derek Eagleton.
Speaker 6: It is Monday, October thirtieth, twenty twenty three, Season nineteen,
Speaker 6: Episode number fifty nine. Welcome to the latest edition.
Speaker 2: Of The Break.
Speaker 6: We are live from the s WBC Mortgage studios at
Speaker 6: the Star. We're talking about the Cowboys big victory yesterday
Speaker 6: over the Los Angeles Rams. They went forty three to
Speaker 6: twenty at home. It's a starting become kind of a
Speaker 6: trend here that when the Cowboys are in at and
Speaker 6: T Stadium, two things happen. One the crowd is into it,
Speaker 6: and two the Cowboys bring their a game. Another great
Speaker 6: performance by them yesterday. We'll break it down for you
Speaker 6: guys to let you know what we think went right
Speaker 6: and maybe a few things that went wrong for the
Speaker 6: Cowboys yesterday in that big victory. We will start where
Speaker 6: we start every Monday with the storylines of the game.
Speaker 6: Let's go around the table. What do you think is
Speaker 6: the biggest storyline or the way that this week will
Speaker 6: be remembered when this season is all said and done.
Speaker 2: Brian, let's start with you today.
Speaker 4: I think the way that the game started out so
Speaker 4: poorly for them offensively, with the scheme of trying to
Speaker 4: block the rams front.
Speaker 3: We felt like that it was gonna be a little
Speaker 3: bit of.
Speaker 7: A challenge with Donald and Young and.
Speaker 4: And Hoyt and those guys. But I didn't expect it
Speaker 4: to be where the first three, the first five plays
Speaker 4: were going to.
Speaker 3: Be like it was.
Speaker 5: It was.
Speaker 8: It was.
Speaker 3: Disturbing, it really really was.
Speaker 4: And and uh but you know, once they were able
Speaker 4: to figure things out, the officials, Aiden Hill and his
Speaker 4: crew gave you a huge break on the uh the
Speaker 4: uh illegal illegal contact penalty right there. That kind of
Speaker 4: got things going. And once that happened, though, they were
Speaker 4: able to settle in the line did a much better
Speaker 4: job of handling protection. I think the thing in this
Speaker 4: game that was most suppressive how Dak Prescott was able
Speaker 4: to keep his eyes down the field. And that's something
Speaker 4: that you know, when this cowboy offense and what we've
Speaker 4: seen some early in the season has been a little
Speaker 4: bit more about the underneath stuff. But he was able
Speaker 4: to make some plays, manipulate some plays. He did a
Speaker 4: great job of when the the Rams would twist their
Speaker 4: front or move their front, he went to the side
Speaker 4: where the twister was going away. Say that Aaron Donald
Speaker 4: running and they were going to try and loop him inside.
Speaker 4: He attacked that part of the pocket and was able
Speaker 4: to buy him a little bit more time and his
Speaker 4: and his guys did a good job of holding up.
Speaker 3: But it was a little bit of a rough start.
Speaker 4: But the quarterback didn't get frustrated, the play card didn't
Speaker 4: get frustrated, and they took advantage of a secondary that
Speaker 4: hadn't given up very much this season, but gave up
Speaker 4: a lot yesterday.
Speaker 8: Boom goes to dynamite for the Cowboys offense. We have
Speaker 8: been waiting for the explosiveness. We've known they've had weapons
Speaker 8: all training camp, all you know, regular season going into
Speaker 8: the bye week, but we had not seen what this
Speaker 8: Texas Coast offense looks like when it's fired on all cylinders.
Speaker 8: And I venture to say it still wasn't on all
Speaker 8: cylinders yesterday, but it was damn sure on most of them.
Speaker 5: And resiliency.
Speaker 8: When you talk about that resilience from the Cowboys, you
Speaker 8: saw a microcosm of it on that opening drive.
Speaker 5: Like like Brian.
Speaker 8: Said, you know, first two or three plays, it was disastrous.
Speaker 8: It was just disastrous. But what do they get sacked
Speaker 8: for a loss of five yards? There was another sack
Speaker 8: that was deleted by legal contact. Then it sacked again
Speaker 8: on the very next play, four yard loss. So you're
Speaker 8: thinking at that moment, You're like, Tyron Smith is out.
Speaker 8: This is what Ak Prescott's going to be up against.
Speaker 8: This is going to be a long day. They mount
Speaker 8: up on the offensive line. Next several plays, Lamb seventeen yards,
Speaker 8: galloped fourteen yards on a tow drag that was beautiful,
Speaker 8: by the way, Cook's nineteen yards, Ferguson eighteen yard touchdown
Speaker 8: in the red zone. Cowboys offense went rolling from there,
Speaker 8: and then they started getting everybody involved. Lamb went off,
Speaker 8: had a career day, Cooks got involved. Like I mentioned
Speaker 8: Ferguson gallop, I mean, it was just it was magnificent.
Speaker 8: Deck did it with his arms, did it with his legs.
Speaker 8: Three hundred yards, four touchdowns, and even the interception that
Speaker 8: was tipped at the line of scrimmage and then went
Speaker 8: off McEwan's hand.
Speaker 5: That was just a bad break on you know, as
Speaker 5: far as fly, I.
Speaker 4: Don't I'm not sure if he was throwing. I think
Speaker 4: he might have been throwing the ball to scoon.
Speaker 2: Maker back in the back.
Speaker 4: Yeah, what happened? It just real quick. I'm sorry that
Speaker 4: particular play. I mean it just when you watch it
Speaker 4: from the end zone. First off, I think Dak would
Speaker 4: like to have it over because he kind of he
Speaker 4: opens himself up on the throat. He had ants to
Speaker 4: set his feet and make more of a direct throw
Speaker 4: if he wanted to make it. I thought the way
Speaker 4: that the routes were coming, when you had McEwen and everybody,
Speaker 4: he had all this convergence in the middle of the field,
Speaker 4: and I thought, man, it is a poor design if
Speaker 4: that's what you're trying to do. But it looked like
Speaker 4: to me scoon Maker was deeper at the goal line,
Speaker 4: and I wonder if McEwan thinking the ball was coming
Speaker 4: inside and that's why he put his hand up and
Speaker 4: it knocked the ball straight up.
Speaker 7: But Dak's feet not great. I'm sure if you'll look
Speaker 7: at it.
Speaker 4: I'll say, ah, you know, technique wise, man, I gotta
Speaker 4: set and I got to throw, but he opened himself
Speaker 4: up and it kind of caused the ball to drift
Speaker 4: on him a little bit. But that was one of
Speaker 4: those weird designs of a play that I didn't quite get,
Speaker 4: all the clutter that they created in the middle of
Speaker 4: the field with that.
Speaker 8: But Hill, speaking of Schoolmaker, even the rookie got involved.
Speaker 8: He rookie got a first down catch for Dak Prescott
Speaker 8: in the offense. So I mean, like I said, the
Speaker 8: running game was still waiting to see what happened there.
Speaker 8: But I'm totally fine with the running game still working
Speaker 8: to get work its way back up to a top
Speaker 8: form as long as this passing game continues to look
Speaker 8: like it is.
Speaker 6: Look, I'll throw something real quick game before you go
Speaker 6: on that play too. It was I thought it was
Speaker 6: an interesting concept. It had some creativity to it from
Speaker 6: the standpoint that they were going with the twenty two personnels,
Speaker 6: the two running backs, and they had two tight ends,
Speaker 6: but they were split wide. They had nobody in the backfield.
Speaker 6: The empty set is empty set, and you got all
Speaker 6: these guys on the field that would tell the opponent,
Speaker 6: this is going to be a run play, like that
Speaker 6: was the way that you would want them to do it,
Speaker 6: and then you empty it out and then you run
Speaker 6: this mess concept where they're kind of McCune and Lipky
Speaker 6: are kind of coming and trying to create confusion, and
Speaker 6: then you got you know, Schoolmaker in the back.
Speaker 7: So I get what they were trying to do.
Speaker 6: I think it was creative, but I agree with you,
Speaker 6: me and Nichola sitting there and Nicholas like, I don't
Speaker 6: know what ultimately they thought was going to be the.
Speaker 2: Result of this kind of play.
Speaker 3: I thought he was trying to hit mcew it.
Speaker 4: And then when you watch the end zone copy of it,
Speaker 4: Schoonmaker standing like right in the middle. I mean, he's
Speaker 4: driving to the goal line, and I'm thinking, I'm thinking
Speaker 4: Dak is going to try and fit it right there
Speaker 4: to him, And because the how how off the pass was,
Speaker 4: it was so far behind McEwan, it's like, well, he's
Speaker 4: not that inaccurate with.
Speaker 6: Then you also think if he's going to school. I
Speaker 6: was like, well, if he was going to school, he
Speaker 6: probably had to have more air on it. So I
Speaker 6: almost wonder, if you know, sometimes you're thinking two different things.
Speaker 6: You kind of get caught in between, like you're like,
Speaker 6: I should have made the throw there or I should
Speaker 6: have made you know, and you get caught in between.
Speaker 6: It's just behind not enough air, and there you go.
Speaker 4: There was just too much going on in the middle
Speaker 4: of the field though it was it was way I mean,
Speaker 4: it's just way now when you talk about it going empty.
Speaker 4: If Dak wanted to be really cute, he could have
Speaker 4: thrown the ball in the corner to to Pollard for
Speaker 4: a touchdown. If he really wanted to be like, Okay,
Speaker 4: we're gonna we're gonna give you this searching personnel and
Speaker 4: then we're gonna go empty and I'm gonna throw it
Speaker 4: to the back, yeah, just because you're not going to
Speaker 4: cover the back.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: And so but uh, he tried to fit it in there,
Speaker 4: and I, like I say, because of how it was off.
Speaker 7: You know, he was not off at all in that.
Speaker 3: Game yesterday, surgical all at all.
Speaker 4: And so that's the thing that that's why I think
Speaker 4: that it maybe he was trying to go to schoon
Speaker 4: maker because of how much the ball was behind McEwan and.
Speaker 8: Then using the last thing using speaking to just how
Speaker 8: surgical he was. It wasn't just in the air, it
Speaker 8: was with his legs as well, but it was timeliness
Speaker 8: with when he chose to take off and run with
Speaker 8: the ball. As far as converting on the third down,
Speaker 8: it's you know, third and long, third and short. So
Speaker 8: absolutely so dirty deck is in the building. Let's go
Speaker 8: storyline amber h.
Speaker 9: I feel good, nice, always good when you put some
Speaker 9: James Brown in the bis.
Speaker 10: Let's go, No pheel's good.
Speaker 9: Feel's good to watch the Cowboys actually play well in
Speaker 9: all three phases of the game, and we've that's what
Speaker 9: we've been asking. We haven't seen it all season, and
Speaker 9: I think this is the first game where we actually
Speaker 9: finally see some of that. But at the same time,
Speaker 9: even though I want to jump up and down and
Speaker 9: celebrate and all that, I'm trying to stay grounded and
Speaker 9: stay put not get too well because I know what's
Speaker 9: coming this weekend. And despite everything that we saw that
Speaker 9: was working really really well, and you guys talked about it,
Speaker 9: the O line and some of those issues there now
Speaker 9: with Tuma also hurt.
Speaker 10: I don't know what the.
Speaker 5: Separate ankle and it's a low anklespro.
Speaker 10: So what does that look like? Timeline.
Speaker 5: I mean.
Speaker 3: You could you can just find a way. Yeah, you
Speaker 3: find a way to play through it is what you
Speaker 3: really do.
Speaker 9: Definitely not yea either that doesn't sound good either way
Speaker 9: better than the other scenario for sure. But we saw
Speaker 9: that the Cowboys did end up deciding to rest Tyron
Speaker 9: Smith and he did not play, so maybe he will
Speaker 9: be ready in a full full quote unquote one hundred
Speaker 9: percent for this weekend. But but yeah, definitely something that
Speaker 9: you want to see them playing that way, knowing what's
Speaker 9: coming next. And again we talked about this, Derek. You
Speaker 9: want to enjoy the wins when they happened. I want
Speaker 9: to say in the moment week.
Speaker 10: Two week that's how the season goes.
Speaker 9: But at the same time, it's one of those things
Speaker 9: that great to see great practice, getting people involved and
Speaker 9: figuring out what's working for your offense and hopefully they
Speaker 9: can take it up a notch or keep it going
Speaker 9: for next weekend.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 6: All right, So let's let's dive in a little bit
Speaker 6: to Dak Dak yesterday was twenty five or thirty one,
Speaker 6: eighty one percent completion rate. I think this is a
Speaker 6: third game this year when he's been above eighty percent.
Speaker 2: That's pretty phenomenal.
Speaker 6: He did three hundred and four, He had three undred
Speaker 6: four passing yards, four touchdowns, only one interception at one
Speaker 6: hundred and thirty three point seven quarterback rating. And as
Speaker 6: you mentioned Patrick, he had five rushes for nineteen yards,
Speaker 6: and it was more about when he ran and how
Speaker 6: he ran. I think he picked up two first downs,
Speaker 6: two times he ran on third down and picked up
Speaker 6: first downs when there was nothing there. So all in all,
Speaker 6: really good day for him. My question for you guys
Speaker 6: is how much of his success do you think yesterday
Speaker 6: was a reflection of the offense offense starting to click,
Speaker 6: like them now starting to feel comfortable maybe in this
Speaker 6: new offense.
Speaker 8: I think that goes to a large portion of it,
Speaker 8: because as we talked about, as it relates to the
Speaker 8: offensive line, this can be spread across any position. Reps matter,
Speaker 8: Reps matter, Reps matter, So the more reps they get
Speaker 8: with a healthy unit of skill players, then obviously they
Speaker 8: should be improving in that aspect. But I've said it before,
Speaker 8: and I'm kind of harping on this because for me,
Speaker 8: this is the key that unlocks the chemistry of the
Speaker 8: Texas Coast offense. It's Dak's willingness to get out there
Speaker 8: and use his legs when the time presents itself. It
Speaker 8: simply puts too much pressure on the opposing defense to
Speaker 8: have to try to account for him as well. But
Speaker 8: the timeliness in which he does it, he basically loves
Speaker 8: them to sleep and makes them forget that he's going
Speaker 8: to do that, and then they don't account for him,
Speaker 8: and then he's like, oh, opportunity, I take that, So
Speaker 8: now they have to account for it. And then once
Speaker 8: they start accounting for it, guess what a position becomes open,
Speaker 8: or a player becomes open, or someone gets opened on
Speaker 8: a break on the next play, because you can't do
Speaker 8: two things at the same time, like you said in
Speaker 8: Decision that do I cover for Dak or do I
Speaker 8: drop back and play coverage better? And a lot of
Speaker 8: times you're kind of in a no win situation. So
Speaker 8: I think it's a combination of more reps more reps.
Speaker 8: They're getting their continuity. We would love to see the
Speaker 8: OL get their continuity, because wow, what could this offense
Speaker 8: be if Dak had that kind of protection and still
Speaker 8: use his mobility when the time presents itself. But again,
Speaker 8: I really think that him being able to use his legs,
Speaker 8: extend plays, improvise. That's helping unlock the Cowboys potential on offense.
Speaker 9: I also think that when you see something work, it
Speaker 9: gives you more confidence to keep doing it. And they
Speaker 9: were able to do that against the Chargers, and then
Speaker 9: it was effective. You get to watch it on tape,
Speaker 9: your body feels it too. You start feeling confident, like, Okay,
Speaker 9: not that this is new to him because we've seen
Speaker 9: it in years past, so, but it's just getting him
Speaker 9: back into maybe just breaking it loose and just running
Speaker 9: when the opportunities do present itself. So I think that
Speaker 9: Hats had something to do with what happened against the
Speaker 9: Chargers him carrying that over to this game. Starting off
Speaker 9: the way they did, getting sacked, getting pressure, you're like, oh,
Speaker 9: oh crap, I'm gonna have it's gonna it might be
Speaker 9: one of those games where I have to run for
Speaker 9: my life. Luckily, it got better and later on he
Speaker 9: wasn't constantly getting pressured like that at the beginning of
Speaker 9: the game, and the oline was able to do a
Speaker 9: better job. But him seeing those chances and maybe feeling
Speaker 9: more comfortable on the field and just running. I think
Speaker 9: he's doing a really good job not forcing it in
Speaker 9: a way where now you're just making yourself look sloppy
Speaker 9: and not working. He's taking those chances at the right
Speaker 9: moment and being very effective with it.
Speaker 3: Play callers getting in a better rhythm.
Speaker 4: You're starting to see the emergence of elite wide receiver,
Speaker 4: and you've got a tight end that won't drop the
Speaker 4: ball right now, and he finds a way to get
Speaker 4: space and they get run after catch with him. The
Speaker 4: running game is serviceable right now. The quarterback running clearly
Speaker 4: is a factor. You look on the touchdown where Lamb was.
Speaker 3: Completely by himself.
Speaker 4: Three guys were running right to dak As he's breaking
Speaker 4: the pocket. So he affects people that way. But I
Speaker 4: feel like that's where this team is going with it.
Speaker 4: You know that we could talk about the continuity and
Speaker 4: things like that, which are all very good, but I
Speaker 4: think you're having the emergence of some players that you
Speaker 4: and they're even getting Cooks involved, and that's something they
Speaker 4: weren't able to do the first part of the season.
Speaker 6: All Right, we're going to take our first reak when
Speaker 6: we come back. I want to dive in a little
Speaker 6: bit on those wide receivers. You mentioned Ceedee Lamb having
Speaker 6: a huge day. Jack ferguson making the catch that we've
Speaker 6: been waiting for a tight end to make over the
Speaker 6: middle of the field in.
Speaker 2: The red zone. Brandon Cook's even getting involved.
Speaker 6: We'll talk about all those guys and maybe what they
Speaker 6: saw what we saw yesterday, maybe in a little different
Speaker 6: than what we've seen in past weeks. Well, then when
Speaker 6: we come back Dallas, cap Com Radio.
Speaker 11: Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the
Speaker 11: cheetah Savannah. Todd believed the big cat repellent he bought
Speaker 11: online was reliable, and now Todd is trying to be
Speaker 11: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.
Speaker 11: But the good news is Todd has AT and T
Speaker 11: five G. It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he
Speaker 11: learned the best thing to do is stop running and
Speaker 11: toss her the backpack with the beef stew At and

Speaker 6: Yeah, Cowboys did that earlier this season for I can't
Speaker 6: remember which game it was. It was one of the
Speaker 6: games where we had a road game and they had
Speaker 6: this watch party out of the stadium and it was
Speaker 6: well attended, very cool event from what I understand, had
Speaker 6: a lot of fun out there. So if you're not
Speaker 6: going to be traveling to the game and going to
Speaker 6: be here in the Dallas Fort Worth area, you might
Speaker 6: want to check that out.
Speaker 2: It'd be fun, fun times.
Speaker 5: All right.
Speaker 6: All right, let's get back to it is the second
Speaker 6: segment of the breakway from that WBC Mortgan Studios at
Speaker 6: the start, and this segment is brought to.
Speaker 2: You by blockchain dot Com.
Speaker 6: All right, let's talk about the wide receiver, Ceede Lamb
Speaker 6: yesterday twelve catches for one hundred and fifty eight yards
Speaker 6: on fourteen targets. He only missed two passes or two
Speaker 6: passes were incomplete that were throwing his way.
Speaker 2: He had two touchdowns.
Speaker 6: Jake Ferguson had four catches for forty seven yards and
Speaker 6: a touchdown that really nice.
Speaker 3: Caching straight to him that he's caught.
Speaker 2: Oh you're talking about yam, yes yet No.
Speaker 4: First, first, the last drop he had was the last
Speaker 4: misconnection was the fourth quarter of the Arizona game.
Speaker 5: Fifteen Street, two hundred yards.
Speaker 6: Yeah. Yeah, that's pretty pretty impressive, especially after we've been
Speaker 6: talking a little bit about like are you missing Dalton Schultz.
Speaker 6: I think that that was about throw Jake the ball right,
Speaker 6: no doubt, no doubt. And then Brandon Cooks had three catches.
Speaker 9: Maybe the Stars would look a little different if he
Speaker 9: actually got the ball thrown his way a lot more often.
Speaker 8: And for me, it's not even necessarily about throwing it
Speaker 8: a lot more often, it's just seeing how often he's open.
Speaker 8: And example being the previous game against the Chargers, which's
Speaker 8: just like those extra passes you forced to Michael Gallop
Speaker 8: in the game where he was struggling. Take three or
Speaker 8: four of those and throw them to Jake and it's
Speaker 8: a much better outcome and you probably win that game
Speaker 8: pretty handily, maybe about ten points instead of three.
Speaker 2: So what'd you guys see?
Speaker 6: What did you see from the receivers, particularly in this
Speaker 6: game that maybe is a little different than what we
Speaker 6: seen before. You can even throw in Crook Cooks who
Speaker 6: had three for four.
Speaker 4: I was worried going into this game and we talked
Speaker 4: about how the Ram cornerbacks were going to play the
Speaker 4: zone coverage they were going to play. The Cowboys did
Speaker 4: a great job of winning on a lot of routes,
Speaker 4: and when it came to some of the combinations of
Speaker 4: the routes and the ability to get some guys open,
Speaker 4: they were spot on with the way that they were,
Speaker 4: the depth of the routes, the way they were to
Speaker 4: break the routes. They put the Rams under a lot
Speaker 4: of pressure that way, with some of the stuff they had,
Speaker 4: routes that were that held guys and play has held
Speaker 4: safeties in place, created opportunities for others, whether it's Cooks
Speaker 4: or Lamb or even Gallop to get open on the
Speaker 4: play because of the way. So they were much cleaner
Speaker 4: in the game when they had the opportunity to run
Speaker 4: these routes. And if teams are gonna play pro gonna
Speaker 4: play zone coverage against the Cowboys, the Cowboys are gonna
Speaker 4: kill him.
Speaker 3: Dak Prescott is going.
Speaker 4: To absolutely kill you if they If he knows that
Speaker 4: you're not gonna play man coverage and he's good when
Speaker 4: when you blitz. By the way the backs, Pollard did
Speaker 4: it once again, a great job of picking up and helping.
Speaker 4: Even Rico Dabdell had one that was just a nice
Speaker 4: step up. I mean, Dak checks the play. I believe
Speaker 4: it's the touchdown pass to Cooks that where he was.
Speaker 4: He just the pickup was right there. Dak checked the protection,
Speaker 4: he saw the blitz, he picked up the guy. He
Speaker 4: took a big hit on the play, but he got
Speaker 4: the ball out. So yeah, if the Cowboys are if
Speaker 4: teams are going to play zone coverage, so the Cowboys
Speaker 4: are going to eat them up all day with their
Speaker 4: ability to run rounds.
Speaker 8: I think what was also impressive was the fact that
Speaker 8: Ceedee Lamb he ate in a variety of ways. It
Speaker 8: wasn't simply him playing on the outside. The Cowboys did
Speaker 8: a fantastic job of nearly split him fifty to fifty
Speaker 8: from slot to outside, and he was destructive in both manners.
Speaker 8: So I mean about half of his yardists came from
Speaker 8: the outside. The other half, for the most part, came
Speaker 8: from a slot position. So it just shows you that
Speaker 8: the Cowboys are scheming their best receiver open and That's
Speaker 8: a lot of times. That's what fans have been wanting
Speaker 8: to see when they're trying to figure out when Ceedee
Speaker 8: Lamb comes out of a game of frustration and you
Speaker 8: know where was Lamb in this game?
Speaker 5: Why why wasn't he getting the targets?
Speaker 8: They start pointing at guys like Kyle Shanahan and Sean
Speaker 8: McVay and how those kinds of football minds can scheme
Speaker 8: their best player open. Well, if you look at a
Speaker 8: game like yesterday, that's exactly what Mike McCarthy did with
Speaker 8: Ceedee Lamb. He was basically saying, I'm going to try
Speaker 8: him here, I'm going to do it here. He's working here,
Speaker 8: but now we're going to bounce back out. And then
Speaker 8: when you mix that with what Brian is talking about
Speaker 8: with his own coverage, that was really nothing the Rams
Speaker 8: can do, even when they went into a mixed coverage.
Speaker 8: If you look at go back and look at Seedee
Speaker 8: Lamb's first touchdown, that was a mixed coverage, but the
Speaker 8: way the look was it froze that safety, and it
Speaker 8: froze that safety inside just long enough for Lamb to
Speaker 8: go shallow then deep, and then that puts it right
Speaker 8: past the safety's here a hole for a touchdown. So
Speaker 8: does magnificent work. And of course you talk about the
Speaker 8: continuity and the chemistry. That throw to Cook's one trust
Speaker 8: factor because as soon as Cook's got hip to hip,
Speaker 8: that ball was out because that was Dak Truck, that's
Speaker 8: training camp right there, that well thrown.
Speaker 7: Absolutely they went double move on that.
Speaker 3: And you know, and fortunately though Dak, I mean the
Speaker 3: protection breaks down.
Speaker 4: Doc Dak got punished on the throw, but he was
Speaker 4: able to get the ball away before a hot got.
Speaker 3: To him on the hit.
Speaker 8: And he did not wait for the trust again trust,
Speaker 8: he did not wait for the separation. He trusted the
Speaker 8: separation would occur because if we're even I'm leaving and
Speaker 8: Cook's left his man right there, so fantastic.
Speaker 9: Yeah. To me is it was all about getting the
Speaker 9: ball to the right person at the right time, and
Speaker 9: it finally worked for the Cowboys because we've been talking
Speaker 9: about this for multiple weeks where we do see players
Speaker 9: being open but the ball is not getting thrown that way.
Speaker 9: We talk about Jake Ferguson, Brandan Cooks, you mentioned him
Speaker 9: all the time, and we see it Brian where he's
Speaker 9: just open, like he's just standing there like, hey, okay, cool,
Speaker 9: next play, Let's see if we can make it happen now.
Speaker 9: And now that was the time where they were able
Speaker 9: to get the ball to the right person at the
Speaker 9: right time, and it worked effectively. And you talk about
Speaker 9: Dak just being in sync and everybody just being in sync,
Speaker 9: everybody being on the same page and knowing what was
Speaker 9: going on. You don't get that city lamp getting upset,
Speaker 9: get me the ball.
Speaker 10: There was like a.
Speaker 9: Everything was just falling in place so smoothly for them,
Speaker 9: and now they finally seem to have that rhythm where
Speaker 9: people are just connecting and following their instincts rather than
Speaker 9: trying to force the ball to Let's say, Michael gallup where.
Speaker 6: It all started yesterday for Dallas up front with the
Speaker 6: offensive line.
Speaker 2: We talked about how at the beginning of the game
Speaker 2: it was really, really, really mess.
Speaker 6: A tough start, and really, I mean, I think we
Speaker 6: all by the time you got past those first four
Speaker 6: plays the game, you think it's gonna be one of
Speaker 6: those days where, uh, they just won't be able.
Speaker 2: To stop this pass rush.
Speaker 6: But they settle in and the interesting part about it
Speaker 6: is that one gave up one more sack in that game. Uh,
Speaker 6: they actually had a season low pressure rate this game
Speaker 6: twenty one point one percent.
Speaker 3: Didn't start out that way.
Speaker 2: It did not start pressure no doubt.
Speaker 6: So the question becomes, did you guys think that that
Speaker 6: the offensive line figured something out or was it just
Speaker 6: a situation where between the combination of them getting a
Speaker 6: little bit better and maybe Dak also avoiding pressure. Uh,
Speaker 6: that really was the difference. As the game wre on.
Speaker 4: I kind of felt like that they got a little
Speaker 4: bit better. I think there was a little bit the
Speaker 4: the one that was kind of bothersome, but it was
Speaker 4: it's you know, it's Aaron Donald versus Zach Martin and
Speaker 4: and Aaron Donald just was the better player on that
Speaker 4: one play. Those are the kinds of ones that you
Speaker 4: kind of can like, Okay, that's just two great players
Speaker 4: going at it. The one great player is not able
Speaker 4: to block the other great player. But when they get
Speaker 4: beat on twists and things like that where it's just
Speaker 4: not awareness or they flat just don't help each other.
Speaker 4: You know, there's there's reasons why. There's always a reason
Speaker 4: why you give up a sack. I mean, you could
Speaker 4: physically get beat or you could physically get run around
Speaker 4: but when you give it up because of movement up
Speaker 4: front and you're not passing stunts, those are the ones
Speaker 4: that bother you the most, you know, those are the ones.
Speaker 4: And Dallas initially in that game had somewhere it was
Speaker 4: you know, they were just not you know, handling what
Speaker 4: was going on up front. But I think they did
Speaker 4: a better job of kind of figuring out. And there
Speaker 4: were a couple of times there where they made some
Speaker 4: really big plays where Donald wouldn't on the field. So
Speaker 4: sometimes you have to take advantage of when the great
Speaker 4: play is not on that field pass rushing against you.
Speaker 5: I think I agree.
Speaker 8: I think the offensive line got it together, for lack
Speaker 8: of a better way to put it, disastrous first few snaps,
Speaker 8: and then from there they got more and more solid
Speaker 8: as the game went on. And what helped them and
Speaker 8: stop me if you've heard this before, is Dak being
Speaker 8: willing to use his legs. And now, from a defensive
Speaker 8: lineman standpoint, you have to consider that. So maybe you
Speaker 8: can't t off and just go top gear from snap
Speaker 8: and try to get into the backfield because maybe you
Speaker 8: have to figure out, well, maybe I should drop a
Speaker 8: gear down because I might have to play laterally in
Speaker 8: case he leaks out.
Speaker 5: So it's a combination of those two things.
Speaker 8: The offensive line got it together and helped their quarterback,
Speaker 8: and in turn, their quarterback helped his offensive line by
Speaker 8: being willing when the protection did break down. At several
Speaker 8: points later in the game, whereas the game went on,
Speaker 8: you saw Dak not standing there waiting to go down,
Speaker 8: like he was making some things happen, which then that
Speaker 8: helps the wide receivers because now you're extending to play
Speaker 8: and it's damn near impossible to be able to cover
Speaker 8: CD Lamb and Brandon Cooks and that type of speed
Speaker 8: for three four seconds at a time. So one hand washes,
Speaker 8: the other washes the left foot, which washes the right foot,
Speaker 8: so it all works.
Speaker 10: Okay, I never heard that one.
Speaker 9: That's maybe they didn't have like a great pregame warm up.
Speaker 10: I don't know. I wasn't out there to wake up.
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, it was an early morning. Took you a
Speaker 9: little bit. I know it took me a little bit
Speaker 9: to get awake. But maybe it's one of those cases
Speaker 9: where it does take a few plays to kind of
Speaker 9: figure out. Okay, all right, let me let me get
Speaker 9: my stuff together.
Speaker 4: There was one of the sacks and I just wrote
Speaker 4: down my notes on it. It was a sack that
Speaker 4: be oddish, and I gave it to Piattish and Tyler Smith.
Speaker 4: And it was a strange play design to begin with
Speaker 4: because I believe they were trying to hit Lamb down
Speaker 4: the field, but he got triple covered.
Speaker 3: On the play.
Speaker 4: He runs right into corner safety. I mean, there's just
Speaker 4: a bunch of white jerseys where he is going to
Speaker 4: be and there's no chance on that play, and Ferguson
Speaker 4: kind of half blocks and then releases, and then Jonah
Speaker 4: Williams is on that he's the end of that side.
Speaker 4: He's like, he's not fooled. So now he comes running
Speaker 4: up up the field. And then Beyonddish and Tyler Smith,
Speaker 4: they can't handle Aaron Donald again. We talk about that
Speaker 4: and that's what he splits them to get the sack.
Speaker 4: But it was just one of those plays where from
Speaker 4: the from the it looked very San Francisco like game
Speaker 4: where it was like, Okay, we're trying to do something here,
Speaker 4: we're trying to be maybe a little cute, and we
Speaker 4: didn't fool anybody.
Speaker 3: On the play.
Speaker 4: They covered it. They rushed us their best player beat
Speaker 4: us for the sack. You know, that's sometimes that happens
Speaker 4: to you in a game.
Speaker 5: Aaron Donald going to Aaron Donald.
Speaker 8: Yeah, everybody knew that coming into this game, even Zach
Speaker 8: Martintow it coming into this game, and obviously those two
Speaker 8: have matched up several times over the course of their career.
Speaker 8: At the end of the day, Aaron Donald is going
Speaker 8: to Aaron Donald. You just have to make sure that
Speaker 8: no one else wrecks the game alongside him and the
Speaker 8: Cowboys offensive line they finally mounted up after that first
Speaker 8: series and they really did.
Speaker 5: Some good stuff.
Speaker 2: All Right, we're gonna take our final break. We'll come back.
Speaker 2: Let's talk about the defense. His defense put on another Yeah,
Speaker 2: we're gonna give them something. We gotta give them something.
Speaker 6: And we got to talk about particularly Michael Parsons and
Speaker 6: Deron Bland. Those two players have phenomenal days. We'll talk
Speaker 6: about that when we come Backdallas Cowboys dot Com Radio.

Speaker 5: Welcome back.
Speaker 6: It is the final segment of the Break Life from
Speaker 6: SWBC Mortgage Studios. At the start, let's talk about this
Speaker 6: defense yesterday check this out. Deron Bland seven tackles. He
Speaker 6: led the team in tackles, had one interception, had one touchdown.
Speaker 6: He did have that pick six, and had two pass defenses.
Speaker 5: He is I think one.
Speaker 6: I think Nick said yesterday, he's one of twenty nine
Speaker 6: players in the history of the National Football League to
Speaker 6: have three pick sixes in one season. If he should
Speaker 6: happen to get a fourth, he will move to really
Speaker 6: rare air. I think it's only been four of those
Speaker 6: guys in the history of the NFL. He is having
Speaker 6: a great season. Michael Parsons, on the other hand, also
Speaker 6: had two tackles, one sack.
Speaker 4: Cat say said real quick about Bland. Sure it really
Speaker 4: all the things you just said about him. I think
Speaker 4: the best play he made was the tackle on Cooper.
Speaker 5: We're there, we go thirty and you can say, you
Speaker 5: can say.
Speaker 4: All all the things that he did in that football game,
Speaker 4: he saved you saved your points there. That was a
Speaker 4: four point tackle that he made right there, because Cooper
Speaker 4: Cup's gonna score.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's one.
Speaker 4: They got that thing blocked, and he somehow gets around
Speaker 4: the tackle Jackson. It's like he knife's low and Cup
Speaker 4: tries to get up the field and tackles him for
Speaker 4: a two yard game.
Speaker 3: He didn't make that play. It's a seven all game.
Speaker 7: And you know, but to me, that's the kind of
Speaker 7: thing when you start to talk.
Speaker 4: About coverage and carrying routes inside and interceptions and all that,
Speaker 4: that's to me what makes a corner rare his ability
Speaker 4: to have the awareness to tackle, to make big plays.
Speaker 4: You know, their job is to cover and do those things.
Speaker 4: But you get somebody that physically plays in the game
Speaker 4: like that, that that's that's a rare, rare player.
Speaker 8: Even better, i should say better still, is the fact
Speaker 8: that his motor doesn't turn down as the lead turns up.
Speaker 5: The Cowboys had a big lead, so that was a
Speaker 5: magnificent play.
Speaker 8: But he had another one the PBu on two to
Speaker 8: act well going across the I don't understand. I don't
Speaker 8: know if people understand the speed of two to act
Speaker 8: well and then him streaking. He wasn't anybody right there
Speaker 8: you go, and he wasn't dragging Bland across the field.
Speaker 8: Bland was hip to hip with him and able to
Speaker 8: make that play. And that's the kind of play that
Speaker 8: the Cowboys love to see when it comes to like
Speaker 8: mamba mentality. Yeah you're up big, but there's no taking
Speaker 8: plays off for these guys, particularly a guy like Bland, who,
Speaker 8: like you said, only the twenty ninth player in NFL
Speaker 8: history to have three pick six is only the first
Speaker 8: the first player in Cowboys franchise history to hit that designation.
Speaker 8: And there's still ten games left to play in this
Speaker 8: regular season for him to get Ford exactly. So seeing
Speaker 8: what he did and then quiet as it's kept Gilmore
Speaker 8: Jordan Lewis, here's what they were able to do against
Speaker 8: Pookinakua and Cooper Cup, two of the biggest threats coming
Speaker 8: into this game. Those two combined for fifty four receiving yards.
Speaker 8: The leading receiver for the Rams was the reel Henderson
Speaker 8: with fifty four.
Speaker 5: I mean the big pass.
Speaker 2: Of the screen yet yeah, right, exactly right, ready, press box.
Speaker 10: Not hearing those names, so we talked about getting into.
Speaker 3: The was the volume on in the press box? I
Speaker 3: didn't notice the guy talking very much?
Speaker 2: Yeah, he kind of went off there at the accident.
Speaker 10: Yeah, well something happened.
Speaker 9: But either way, like you, you weren't hearing any of
Speaker 9: the big names from the Rams at all. So it
Speaker 9: was I think I heard Puka's name he had one time,
Speaker 9: and then I'm like, and that was it. Maybe I
Speaker 9: was in the restroom at that point. I don't know,
Speaker 9: but that's like I've only heard it once, and it's
Speaker 9: just it was very very impressive what they did. And
Speaker 9: another thing, speaking of blame real quick, it's still I
Speaker 9: know I've said this before, but it still blows my
Speaker 9: mind how someone like him.
Speaker 10: You see him walking out of the field. He's walking
Speaker 10: and he's such a nice guy.
Speaker 9: Such a babyface, kind of shy, kind of shy, very
Speaker 9: reserved and timid. Yet he's freaking killing it. A freaking
Speaker 9: dog on the field, So it's just it's great. I'm
Speaker 9: super super happy about him and what he's being.
Speaker 3: Able to do.
Speaker 6: So what's even more amazing is that the Cowboys got
Speaker 6: him where they got him in the draft. And I
Speaker 6: remember you guys on the draft they're saying, like, this
Speaker 6: guy's a player, and then the Cowboys to get him
Speaker 6: where they got him, I think everybody was mazed. And
Speaker 6: from the moment he showed up here, he's been good.
Speaker 6: He's been good that first camp he started flashing. He's
Speaker 6: been good from the beginning. So that's really one of
Speaker 6: those examples of just this scouting department and the advantage
Speaker 6: you have with the scouting department that they find those
Speaker 6: guys no matter where they are in the draft.
Speaker 8: And there's a reason that going to the locker room
Speaker 8: after the game, Dak Prescott ran up behind Lamban, was like,
Speaker 8: he's that guy.
Speaker 5: He's that guy.
Speaker 8: So when I asked Deak about it in Dak's postgame presser,
Speaker 8: he explained it wonderfully. Basically, when you're talking about a
Speaker 8: late round pick comes in and he's playing like he's
Speaker 8: a first round pick. He has a breakout season as
Speaker 8: a rookie as a nickel and that was stepping in
Speaker 8: for an injured Jordan Lewis.
Speaker 5: He's thrown into the fire. He leaves the team in interceptions.
Speaker 8: Then year two, team loses first team All Pro Trayvon Didigs,
Speaker 8: a franchise record center. Wow, what are they going to do,
Speaker 8: Darron bland We're going to move you outside? Questions from
Speaker 8: the fandom becomes, well, can he do outside what he
Speaker 8: did inside?
Speaker 6: Well?
Speaker 5: How does three pick sixes work for you? Does that
Speaker 5: work for you?
Speaker 8: Okay, he's doing everything to a higher level, even though
Speaker 8: he was moved to a different position, so to speak,
Speaker 8: not even midway through the season, but as the season
Speaker 8: had already progressed, so Deron Blanding. That secondary absolutely put
Speaker 8: the Rams receivers on clamps. But here's what made that
Speaker 8: that much better, complimentary bar as far as secondary versus passwords.
Speaker 8: They didn't get a lot of sacks on Matthew Stafford,
Speaker 8: but the pressure was key because with these minimal separation
Speaker 8: rates less than three per player. We talked about Nicoua
Speaker 8: at Well and Cup neither of them had more than
Speaker 8: three yards of separation. So the pressure is in Stafford's
Speaker 8: face and he can't get the ball out quickly. To
Speaker 8: defeat it because nobody's getting open. Magnificent job by the
Speaker 8: Cowboys defense.
Speaker 6: You know, it's even more interesting. I'm sure Deron Bland
Speaker 6: is thinking back man and that that play against the
Speaker 6: Chargers he dropped where he dropped that, Yeah, he said,
Speaker 6: but I'm saying that one where it was clearly he
Speaker 6: had it was nothing but green in front of it. Elison,
Speaker 6: that would have been that fourth pick six, right, I mean,
Speaker 6: that would have been the third piece this week.
Speaker 3: He's also thinking about the double moves that Keenan Allen made.
Speaker 12: This.
Speaker 7: Yeah, true, but he's done a great He has done
Speaker 7: a really great job.
Speaker 2: But I think you look at him.
Speaker 6: And I was telling Nick even before that interception this
Speaker 6: last game, I said, you know, he gets another pick six,
Speaker 6: he's gonna push himself right into the Pro Bowl just
Speaker 6: like that. And then he gets to pick six, And
Speaker 6: those are kind of things that make a difference when
Speaker 6: people start voting for those those types of honors at
Speaker 6: the end of the season.
Speaker 8: I just harkened back to last season, Hello Kyle and
Speaker 8: Isaiah on talking Cowboys when I said that as far
Speaker 8: as career goes, I believe that when it's all said
Speaker 8: and done, that the Ron Bland will be equal or
Speaker 8: better than Sauce Gardner.
Speaker 5: That is not taking away from Sauce. I think Sauce
Speaker 5: is a rare hard opinion.
Speaker 8: It is, and I stood don't that He'll before all
Speaker 8: of this started to unveil itself, and now that He'll
Speaker 8: is looking real rosy right now, So again, well play
Speaker 8: this one out right.
Speaker 5: This is the long game. Playing this over the long game.
Speaker 5: This is career versus career.
Speaker 8: So I'd love to see what Deron is doing because
Speaker 8: it's proving the cowboys right, it's proving himself right, and.
Speaker 5: I like that it's proven me right too. That works.
Speaker 6: I'll tell you what we can't do. We cannot end
Speaker 6: the show without talking about my man, Brandon Arv. This
Speaker 6: dude who's still looking at the break. Let what's going on?
Speaker 3: What y'all think of me?
Speaker 2: Yesterday?
Speaker 10: Motivation we did. We are a motivational show.
Speaker 6: Yesterday he ties the record for most consecutive field goals
Speaker 6: made to begin a career with eighteen. He went to
Speaker 6: a two fifty eight yard and a twenty seven yard
Speaker 6: And that's the thing. Like he's had some long kicks.
Speaker 6: It's not like they've just been buttering in with these
Speaker 6: these three thirty forty yard kicks like he's had some
Speaker 6: fifty plus kicks Right now. There are only four kickers
Speaker 6: in the NFL who one hundred percent, and of those,
Speaker 6: he is right now tied with Harrison Bucker for the
Speaker 6: most made kicks of any kicker that is one hundred percent.
Speaker 6: Both of them have eighteen made kicks uh this season,
Speaker 6: so he is right up there as far as the
Speaker 6: league is concerned with regards to the best kickers in
Speaker 6: the league.
Speaker 2: How do you assess Brandon?
Speaker 4: I can't believe you went after him Amber, Oh my god,
Speaker 4: he's I cut him, just cut him.
Speaker 3: I was just embarrassing.
Speaker 4: What you did? You know you took it personally because
Speaker 4: that ball almost hits you. They're in training camp a
Speaker 4: couple of times.
Speaker 9: I think cut exaggerating, Okay, I was, I was. I
Speaker 9: give him the benefit of the doubt.
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 10: You guys like I did. You are on the same boat.
Speaker 7: Press words in Spanish from me when they all flying
Speaker 7: your head.
Speaker 5: I told you I only had one percent confidence in
Speaker 5: the train.
Speaker 9: You know who you know who's happy Will McLay. He's
Speaker 9: happy to see the handshake done at.
Speaker 2: The game, him and him and him and Aubrey. Yeah,
Speaker 2: honestly they had a handshake too.
Speaker 10: I didn't know either.
Speaker 9: So this game I saw them walking out and I
Speaker 9: guess it's just two collapse and then they do a
Speaker 9: little kick with like a little foot case.
Speaker 3: Oh it's like kidd play.
Speaker 10: Yeah yeah, yeah, so that was that was cool to see.
Speaker 7: But no, definitely kid plays a big Cowboys fan.
Speaker 2: By the way, wait which one?
Speaker 5: Which one?
Speaker 2: The kid play?
Speaker 5: The kids kid with the hat top high top?
Speaker 2: Really yeah, I've seen him at training camp.
Speaker 3: He follows me on Twitter.
Speaker 5: I interact with a whole nice shut out the kid.
Speaker 2: I say, maybe we need to get him to come
Speaker 2: on the show.
Speaker 3: I think they did a thing with the the fifty
Speaker 3: year anniversary of house Party.
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, oh yeah he was.
Speaker 3: I think he was performing at the Apollo.
Speaker 5: I think that was something that it was a house
Speaker 5: party on Sunday. I could tell you that. Brandon Aubrey,
Speaker 5: I mean, he's just that's.
Speaker 3: Hid and play right.
Speaker 6: Kid.
Speaker 5: Kid, he's kid, He's kid, He's kid.
Speaker 8: Yeah, Brandon Aubrey. Once he breaks my once he I'm
Speaker 8: not going to say it. Once he got that start,
Speaker 8: I'm staying with that sixty three percent. It was one
Speaker 8: in training camp, and then it was in week four,
Speaker 8: and now here we are.
Speaker 4: I would tell you this, pat himself on the back
Speaker 4: about Bland, but he's not willing to admit how wrong.
Speaker 8: You wille I was wrong about the guy in training camp,
Speaker 8: as we all were.
Speaker 5: I will tell you this, and then we go.
Speaker 6: I think we all are at the point now where
Speaker 6: at least when extra points come and short kicks un comfortable,
Speaker 6: he just kind of run the restroom.
Speaker 5: I'll be back.
Speaker 2: He should be good, right, but we don't worry about
Speaker 2: what's wonderful.
Speaker 7: No, he's still not there.
Speaker 9: No, because I'm there, I just feel like give it
Speaker 9: by statistically speaking, it's coming.
Speaker 5: I'm there.
Speaker 10: Happened at one point, so I just I still watch.
Speaker 2: It in the whole season.
Speaker 4: I wonder if there's Gerry Anderson Gary Anderson for the
Speaker 4: ninety eight Vikings.
Speaker 7: The only kick he missed was that one the game
Speaker 7: winner in the NFC Championship.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I remember that, which is why I said I
Speaker 6: hated to see that because he's been so good all season.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I know he's perfect, thirty eight in the row,
Speaker 4: thirty six in the row and missed the last one.
Speaker 3: He kick.
Speaker 8: Ally kicking in the regular season, you can go grab
Speaker 8: a snack. I won't be going to grab a snack
Speaker 8: in the playoffs. Stoll, Well, no, because yeah, I need to.
Speaker 8: I need to put to your point, excellent point, Derek.
Speaker 8: These aren't chip shots. I mean, they're they're giving him that,
Speaker 8: they're an excellent that they're having him kicked from very right.
Speaker 5: So, like last Yester, no, why I did this.
Speaker 8: I man, every day it's the Bearskins feeling extra Moriah today.
Speaker 8: The fifty eight yarder, I mean, that's that's he strikes
Speaker 8: that and that's good.
Speaker 2: That was too, actually was too.
Speaker 3: I'm like, don't give him.
Speaker 2: I don't want to mess up his is mojo.
Speaker 3: I think it. Don't give don't give the rams the
Speaker 3: ball right there, That's what I was.
Speaker 8: And said, yeah, all right, butter baby, And that was
Speaker 8: good for from further than fifty eight If you look
Speaker 8: at the spacing from that ball, I mean that he
Speaker 8: absolutely nailed it. So, I mean he's just been magnificent,
Speaker 8: to say the least. Can't say enough good things about him.
Speaker 8: And yes, we were all wrong, and I'm glad us
Speaker 8: in there.
Speaker 10: Dude, you threw me, you single me out, and I
Speaker 10: think you.
Speaker 3: Were the instigator of the whole thing.
Speaker 10: Luckily we have it all on the tape.
Speaker 6: There is.
Speaker 8: One of those commercials, Challenge Flag, where you throw the
Speaker 8: challenge flag, run that back, run back, proving a lot
Speaker 8: of people wrong, with the exception of our good friend
Speaker 8: Haley Sutton, who was very much all in on him
Speaker 8: in training camp, saying give him a chance, and she works.
Speaker 5: That's it.
Speaker 6: So our producer Chris Bean got me some information. He says,
Speaker 6: Mike vander Jack became the first kicker in two thousand
Speaker 6: and three in league's history, to go an entire season,
Speaker 6: including the playoffs, without missing a field goal or point
Speaker 6: after attempt.
Speaker 2: Now, of course, and then he can't win.
Speaker 6: I mean, Brandon can't be better than that, because he's
Speaker 6: already had one master after touchdown kick that he's missed,
Speaker 6: but he certainly has He's still it is perfect right
Speaker 6: now with field goals. We'll see if he could finish
Speaker 6: this season off. It's at this point we don't even
Speaker 6: have that. I was talking to my wife about this.
Speaker 6: It seems weird. We aren't even at the halfway point.
Speaker 6: We got a few more games before we.
Speaker 5: Get to that.
Speaker 4: Get ready, it's about to be Thanksgiving. Yeah, I know read,
Speaker 4: I know you're gonna wake up and it's gonna be thanks.
Speaker 2: It's gonna fly.
Speaker 6: But it's just it's weird because you know, you got
Speaker 6: the high school season about to hit the playoffs, you
Speaker 6: got college with only a month left, and we're not
Speaker 6: even halfway through the NFL season.
Speaker 3: So I love it.
Speaker 2: Give me more football. I'm never gonna be upset about that.
Speaker 3: Speed Oklahoma, you might be in this playoff from college football.
Speaker 6: Brian Brian Doylt's not talk about it right now. It's
Speaker 6: just act like nothing's happening and just kind of let
Speaker 6: him just keep doing the thing. Hey, real quick before
Speaker 6: we end the show, I know we're over a little bit.
Speaker 6: I got to a quick shout Sam Williams. Yesterday, samone
Speaker 6: gets that punt block, gets the safety on that, but
Speaker 6: him running down as a gunner, Yeah, that was one
Speaker 6: of the most impressive things I've seen from a player
Speaker 6: in a long time. You rarely see a guy that
Speaker 6: big running down gonna We first saw it before the
Speaker 6: play began and we were like, oh wow, this this
Speaker 6: is interesting, and he basically just split those guys and
Speaker 6: was down the field you know it, and.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. He made the tackle.
Speaker 3: He got it.
Speaker 2: He got to tackle the guy rolled over him, and
Speaker 2: he stepped up and celebrated a little bit before the
Speaker 2: guy was down.
Speaker 6: Forts Okay, we'll figure that part out, but really you
Speaker 6: gotta give him a shout out.
Speaker 1: Ya.
Speaker 5: Absolutely.
Speaker 8: That harkens back to what we saw from him in
Speaker 8: training camp. There was a gunna drill where and it
Speaker 8: went viral. When he's running past his guy, he's pointing
Speaker 8: his finger of wagging like, no, you can't hang with me.
Speaker 5: So yeah, I mean he's got speed for that size.
Speaker 4: Give those Jane Thomas and Geordan's Armstrong credit for the
Speaker 4: pump block too, okay, because they the twist they occupied
Speaker 4: the personal protector and he just destroyed Hoyt and then
Speaker 4: was able to get the block. But a great job
Speaker 4: by uh those two guys thirty to ninety two to
Speaker 4: get that thing going all the way around.
Speaker 8: Final word for me, please stop committing penalties on Cavante
Speaker 8: Turpin returns.
Speaker 5: Just please.
Speaker 6: Is there anything more demoralizing and sporting then being a
Speaker 6: return guy that runs it all the way back and
Speaker 6: is ready to celebrate and around and see its yellow
Speaker 6: flag on the field like that is the worst.
Speaker 5: But also kudos to him for that sixty plus yard
Speaker 5: that was a big one as well.
Speaker 3: You should have three holdings on that, play.
Speaker 5: Boy, go back and watch it.
Speaker 4: Seriously, Committee, there were there were three holdings at the
Speaker 4: point of attack there.
Speaker 3: Officials that you play yesterday, think.
Speaker 2: They definitely did.
Speaker 3: They definitely played yesterday.
Speaker 2: All Right, we appreciate you guys.
Speaker 6: You back tomorrow, we'll do some big picture looks around
Speaker 6: the NFL and around the NFC East, and then we'll
Speaker 6: start getting you ready for Cowboys Eagles. Till then for
