WEBVTT - Talkin' Cowboys: 40-39. What?! 0:00:04.480 --> 0:00:07.040 The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:07.080 --> 0:00:17.960 and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. This He's Talking Cowboys 0:00:18.440 --> 0:00:22.160 screening live from the Dallas Cowboys Worlds at the Star 0:00:22.239 --> 0:00:34.280 in Price Jow the Live scot Pay. You know, guys, 0:00:34.280 --> 0:00:36.760 I'm gonna let you in on a little secret. It's 0:00:36.800 --> 0:00:40.040 a behind the scenes Talking Cowboys secret. And we all 0:00:40.040 --> 0:00:41.640 have a ton of fun here and we have a 0:00:41.640 --> 0:00:45.320 little tradition pre show where we talk about we all 0:00:45.360 --> 0:00:47.760 ask Isaiah to get us fired up what he does 0:00:47.800 --> 0:00:50.000 in the morning, and we can't say what his answer is. 0:00:50.080 --> 0:00:52.879 Normally on air, we can't say that. But Isaiah, I 0:00:52.880 --> 0:00:54.680 want you to turn things around and I want you 0:00:54.720 --> 0:00:56.480 to ask me what I did this morning? Can you 0:00:56.560 --> 0:00:59.920 can you do that for me? M I think I 0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:02.680 think I mustered that up. Okay, Kyle, what did you 0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:04.600 do this morning? Well? I woke up with a smile 0:01:04.640 --> 0:01:06.880 on my face. You know why, because the Cowboys gotta 0:01:06.920 --> 0:01:09.120 win yesterday. And not only did they get a win, 0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:11.360 but it gave me an opportunity to go drive down 0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:14.720 the street to my local water Burger and I picked 0:01:14.760 --> 0:01:17.959 up me a fresh bag of forty burger. Because the 0:01:18.040 --> 0:01:24.319 Dallas Cowboys half burger whatever of the Micha McCarthy era 0:01:24.840 --> 0:01:30.200 and the Dallas Cowboy got a forty burger and a 0:01:30.360 --> 0:01:36.240 win forty to thirty nine. They needed every single point, 0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:40.600 but they got it. Wow, what a game yesterday. We're 0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:42.959 talking cowboys and that's exactly what we're gonna do. We're 0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:45.480 gonna talk some cowboys. I'm Kyle Yeoman's heck my Harrison, 0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:50.000 Rob Phillips, Isaiah stand back and guys, it's been a 0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:52.320 while now, it's been a couple hours to say the least, 0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:57.240 since yesterday's win over the Atlanta Falcons. However, the words still, 0:01:58.120 --> 0:02:00.160 it really seems like there's really not a ton of 0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:03.560 words to describe exactly what happened, because it was that 0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:11.160 wild of a game. Rob, Oh, Yeah, it's wut whatt 0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:13.720 are you? Thirty nine? Are you kidding me? I mean, 0:02:14.520 --> 0:02:17.120 I was trying to go through last night and think 0:02:17.200 --> 0:02:21.080 of the games that I've covered or seen with the 0:02:21.120 --> 0:02:23.640 Cowboys that make you go, what the hell did I 0:02:23.720 --> 0:02:26.880 just see? And I only came up with two. In 0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:30.639 like the last twenty years. You got the Robo game 0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:33.160 in OH seven where he threw five picks at Buffalo 0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:35.799 and they still found a way to win, and you 0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:38.400 got the fifty one forty eight game with Romo and 0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:41.960 Peyton Manning just trading, trading bombs down the field and 0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:44.919 the Broncos pulled out. Other than that, I don't think 0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:47.079 I've seen a Cowboy game quite like that. And man, 0:02:47.120 --> 0:02:49.200 did they need that because we talked about it during 0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:50.360 the week, and I think by the end of the 0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:52.320 week we were all in agreement and that was a 0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:54.960 must win football game for your Dallas Cowboys. And now 0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:57.800 they're one and one going to Seattle. We'll get to 0:02:57.840 --> 0:03:00.600 that later in the week. Em I know you're ready 0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:06.600 to come on, rob let us enjoy this one. Go ahead, Kyle. 0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:09.240 I'm not gonna interrupt. I was letting you go. I 0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:11.400 was saying, Heck, I know you're ready to explode. Where 0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:13.240 are you at? I want you that energy from heckm 0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:16.639 Harrison Man, you know already, know already, you know already, 0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:21.240 you know already. Dog, this is crazy, all you Cowboy haters, 0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:23.880 And I know you tuned in. I hate us tune into. 0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:28.840 I know. Second quarter, y'all's ready. Y'all knew the first quarter. 0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:32.440 Oh my god, Monday morning glory. I'm gonna be able 0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:35.960 to hate on the Cowboys. Oh, this is a dumpster five, 0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:39.840 and what do we do the most improbable victory at 0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:44.119 Cowboy history. I know, I know Rob, he has all 0:03:44.120 --> 0:03:49.480 the numbers, and I know Isaiah's gonna puntificate about this victory. 0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:52.360 It's gonna be eloquent ladies and gentlemen. But let me 0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:58.640 tell you something. Man, Mike Gallop boy just so dressed 0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:03.520 the football ceedee lamb, thank you so much. Look, guys, 0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:05.480 I don't know. I don't know y'all trying to play 0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:07.360 it too cool. I don't want to play it cool. 0:04:07.560 --> 0:04:13.280 I'm telling you, and Dak Prescott, boy, what about my quarterback? 0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:17.719 I know all of y'all fun. Therefore, just a little second, 0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:20.560 y'all was gonna pile on the Dak Prescott hate. Oh 0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:23.520 but no, what do you do? What do you do? Four? Husband, 0:04:23.600 --> 0:04:27.760 fifty y'ards? Three touch? Come on dog everybody today. If 0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:31.200 y'all not feeling like this, I'm sorry, I'm no, I'm 0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:35.880 not sorry. I said it's your turn. Thought, is you 0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:39.240 finish or is you done? Get me another set. I 0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:42.080 don't write I'm done. He's not done. It's we need 0:04:42.120 --> 0:04:46.120 to get him soundproofing. That's what we need to get. 0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:52.880 I am gonna give a congratulations to all of Cowboy Nation. Um, 0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:55.920 they took care of business. But the question I want 0:04:55.920 --> 0:05:00.040 to pose today, and I know this isn't gonna be received, well, no, 0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:05.120 it's not did the Cowboys win or did the Falcons lose? 0:05:05.960 --> 0:05:08.640 And that's the question I want to ask. The Cowboys 0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:13.800 did everything in their power. They overcame insurmountable uh things 0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:16.360 that they had to overcome. Right, they had four fumbles 0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:18.200 in the first it was at ten minutes I believe 0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:20.800 it was uh, you know, Dak was he gave the 0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:22.839 ball away. You know, Zeke gave it away a couple 0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:25.080 of times, Paula gave it away. I mean, guys, they 0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:26.960 were just giving gifts away. It was dug on Christmas 0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:29.520 right out here in September. And then they you know, 0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:31.760 then they had you know, they had the tackles that 0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:34.279 they had to overcome. Right, that wasn't even a problem 0:05:34.440 --> 0:05:37.039 aside from that first quarter, right McKinley got hurt. That 0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:39.800 was a very key portion of this game. Because had 0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:42.440 McKinley never got hurt, I think that we would have 0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:44.480 had some troubles on that edge because he was bringing 0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:50.560 the fire early on. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, remember, and 0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:55.120 he said that that, Hey, I'm just throwing it out there. 0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:58.560 But all in off, regardless of all the things that happened, 0:05:58.760 --> 0:06:01.040 the Cowboys had to show up, and they showed up, 0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:03.839 they took care of business. They overcame all the adversity 0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:06.320 that they faced early on, and they got the w 0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:08.520 and that's all that matters at the end of the day. 0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:10.280 There's a whole lot we're gonna feel it in terms 0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:12.240 of the gaps, Kyle, I'm throwing it back to you. Yeah, 0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:13.760 let's go ahead and throw the gaps. And that was 0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:16.880 a very anchora ish type of report there, Isaiah. Thank 0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:20.080 you for your contributions to the show. But I think 0:06:20.200 --> 0:06:24.080 when it comes to the Cowboys in the win yesterday, 0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:28.680 Isaiah's exactly right. It wasn't one a Cowboys win. It 0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:32.159 was just as much a cow in Atlanta loss because 0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:35.120 there were opportunities left on the table for both sides. 0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:37.960 And the reason it's a memorable win is because of 0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:40.719 the hole that the Cowboys dug themselves in the first 0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:43.040 quarter just not taking care of the football. I mean, 0:06:43.040 --> 0:06:46.599 we saw uncharacteristic type of stuff. Whenever you Ezekiel Elliott 0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:50.520 fumbles twice in a row in a quarter, you know 0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:52.920 it's gonna be a rough day holding onto the football. 0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:55.640 And you saw it later when Dalton Sholtz fumbled. You 0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:58.480 saw it when Tony Pollard fumbled. You had that feeling 0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:00.400 in the first quarter of it being a blow and 0:07:00.480 --> 0:07:02.240 it was at first twenty to nothing at the end 0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:05.080 of the first quarter. Then the Cowboys locked down after that, 0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:07.880 and that's really what we're happy about. It is the 0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:10.480 fact that you saw what this Dallas Cowboys team can be. 0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:13.840 You saw the ceiling that second half. If the Cowboys 0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:17.080 play like that in the second half consistently for the 0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:19.040 rest of the year, you're talking about one of the 0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:21.280 best teams in the NFL, if not the best team 0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:23.680 in the NFL, because of how much they were able 0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:26.600 to stifle Atlanta and then get that offense rolling, which 0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:28.960 is what we've been waiting on. However, there's a lot 0:07:29.000 --> 0:07:31.400 to be desired and there's not that consistency yet. There's 0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:33.600 a long way to go for the Dallas Cowboys to 0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:36.000 hit that mark, and that's why we're filling in these holes. 0:07:36.040 --> 0:07:38.720 But when you look back at yesterday's game, heckmon, you 0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:40.960 kind of look at some of the mistakes that were 0:07:41.000 --> 0:07:43.240 made early on on the offensive side of the football. 0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:45.520 What stood out to you the most, because there were 0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:49.720 plenty to look at early. All right, So I'll calm 0:07:49.800 --> 0:07:53.960 down now, Chris being all right, So it was so many, 0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:55.400 I mean, where do you go? I mean, that was 0:07:55.480 --> 0:07:59.040 so the fumbles the first quarter, like you said, was 0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:01.880 it fumbled twice? It was like, man, am I in 0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:06.560 the parallel universe? What's happening? This doesn't happen? And it 0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:09.440 just look man, there was so much blame to go 0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:13.000 around on both sides of the football. But offensively, we 0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:16.440 just could not get into any rhythm the first quarter. 0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:20.520 Miraculously though, the second third four, I mean, it seemed 0:08:20.560 --> 0:08:23.720 to be that our offense started to get that rhythm, 0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:26.720 the creativity that we've been looking for. Dak was on 0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:29.320 point with a lot of it. Man. There was some 0:08:29.360 --> 0:08:31.840 sporadic throws, but a lot of his throws. Man, he 0:08:32.000 --> 0:08:36.400 was on point. But you're right, Kyle, what an awful 0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:39.480 first quarter of football. Hadn't seen any that bad in 0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:43.280 a very long time. I'm not gonna say they had 0:08:43.400 --> 0:08:47.000 just three turnovers in the first quardet four because anytime 0:08:47.040 --> 0:08:50.520 you go for a fake punt at your own twenty 0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:53.920 nine yard line in the first quarter. That's quite a 0:08:54.000 --> 0:08:56.240 risk right there, and they and they just they teed 0:08:56.320 --> 0:08:59.120 up another field goal for him. They spotted them twenty points. 0:08:59.600 --> 0:09:04.600 And to Heckma's point, like offensively, you know you're missing, 0:09:04.640 --> 0:09:07.480 you're starting two tackles, And it seemed like early on 0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:10.360 they were running their offense how they normally would at 0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:13.840 full strength. Absolutely they didn't. They didn't come out with adjustments. 0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:17.000 And I'll say, guys, I'll be honest with you, I'm 0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:21.000 ready for the K ball Buffalo Bills like nineties offense 0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:23.200 right now with the Dallas count I'm ready. I'm ready 0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:25.679 to get just jack the tempo up and keep it 0:09:25.720 --> 0:09:28.199 that way, and keep it that way, because it was, 0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:30.319 like Heckma said, it wasn't until after they got down 0:09:30.360 --> 0:09:33.720 twenty nothing. They kind of were forced to go up tempo. 0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:36.560 And I swear every time they do it, it seems 0:09:36.559 --> 0:09:38.720 like it works for them. And I don't know if 0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:41.600 it's because it's in desperation and maybe sometimes defenses are 0:09:41.679 --> 0:09:46.079 kind of playing back, maybe a little prevent but they 0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:48.280 like they, like Heckma said, they got a rhythm after 0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:50.760 that and I think that's that was a huge difference. 0:09:50.800 --> 0:09:53.760 You look at the halftime stats, they were pretty similar 0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:56.760 in total in terms of total yards, first downs. They 0:09:56.800 --> 0:09:59.280 just almost gave the game away in the first first quarter. 0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:03.120 So yeah, to your point, Rob, I mean, just to 0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:05.320 answer this for all the Cowboys and Nason, whenever you go, 0:10:05.440 --> 0:10:07.880 know a huddle, it allows for your team to get 0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:10.360 into rhythm. Right, You're you're in the rhythm. So you 0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:13.800 practice two minute drills all the time during the week 0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:16.040 leading up to the game, and it just puts you 0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:17.920 in this rhythm. Up. Hey, I don't have to think 0:10:18.040 --> 0:10:20.080 that much, right, I could just play ball. So you 0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:21.720 get up, you line up, you run to play, and 0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:23.240 you go you get it right back on there. You 0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:25.280 do the same thing. What happens is when you break 0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:27.480 the huddle and you go line up. Now you're doing 0:10:27.480 --> 0:10:30.239 all these presnap freeds. You're doing all these presnap adjustments, 0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:32.920 and you're having that you're playing this chess game prior 0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:35.440 to the ball being snapped, right, and it really takes 0:10:35.480 --> 0:10:36.920 away from your ability to just to go out there 0:10:36.920 --> 0:10:39.000 and just play ball. So that's why you see this 0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:40.920 temple really kind of pick up and some teams could 0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:42.960 do what the whole game. Some teams doing just in 0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:44.920 two minutes. Some teams throw it in there just as 0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:48.320 a changeup, and obviously the Cowboys it works for them overall. 0:10:48.320 --> 0:10:50.120 As the offense, these guys obviously got out to a 0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:53.640 bass start, and we talked, I know, specifically talked about 0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:56.080 the defensive coordinator being one of the biggest threats of 0:10:56.120 --> 0:10:57.760 the game. And I think that whatever it is they 0:10:57.800 --> 0:11:00.280 saw on film in terms of the Cowboys ball security, 0:11:00.320 --> 0:11:03.200 that defensive coordinator made it a point to practice punching 0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:05.520 the ball out during practice leading up to this game, 0:11:05.679 --> 0:11:07.920 because that's all they were doing. They were not concerned 0:11:07.920 --> 0:11:10.240 about securing tackles. If you go back and watch the film, 0:11:10.280 --> 0:11:12.880 these dudes were literally freaking Mike Tyson and this thing 0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:16.000 out of out of Zeke's hands. So those guys were 0:11:16.040 --> 0:11:18.080 just throwing their bows in there like ludicrous, and they 0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:21.480 were getting the ball out and and you know, and 0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:24.040 and there to the defenses. You know, um, well, I know, 0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:25.800 it's like it's not getting on the defense yet. But 0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:27.720 on the off side of the ball, you had somebody 0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:30.480 who showed up in the form of Shultz. Shot showed up. 0:11:30.720 --> 0:11:33.840 He took care of business beyond proud of him. Uh, 0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:36.319 there is. I know there's a lot of speculation in 0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:38.000 terms of whether he and Bill were gonna be able 0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:40.640 to get thee get the job done. He's definitely did 0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:44.040 so kudos off to him. He said, he said, hey, 0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:45.720 I had two drops in the opener and I had 0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:48.079 to do something about it. And we talked about maybe 0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:51.400 man coverage in this game, and he had it. I mean, 0:11:51.440 --> 0:11:53.240 he had some one on one opportunities and he took 0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:56.600 advantage of it. And they went to some quick stuff, 0:11:56.720 --> 0:11:58.679 you know, they and maybe they had to, but when 0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:00.800 you got you're missing, you're starting to tackles. They got 0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:03.960 the ball out quicker and it did. It helped him 0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:06.280 get in a little bit of a rhythm going forward. 0:12:06.679 --> 0:12:09.520 Nine receptions a team high for Dalton Schultz, and he 0:12:09.520 --> 0:12:12.280 also had eighty eight yards in his first career touchdown reception. 0:12:12.320 --> 0:12:15.319 It was also the first touchdown that Dak Prescott has 0:12:15.320 --> 0:12:17.920 ever thrown against the Atlanta Falcons, even though he had 0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:20.920 rushed for by the time he threw his first one, 0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:23.040 he had rushed for four touchdowns against the Falcons. He 0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:24.800 finally got one through the air and then added another 0:12:24.840 --> 0:12:27.280 rushing one later on. But I think that's probably one 0:12:27.320 --> 0:12:29.600 of the biggest things that stood out to me was 0:12:29.640 --> 0:12:32.040 not only the play calling shift. And we're gonna talk 0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:33.959 about the coaching staff and whether or not that it 0:12:34.080 --> 0:12:36.040 was a good coaching job or a bad coaching job 0:12:36.080 --> 0:12:38.840 here in the second segment when we come back, But really, 0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:40.520 when it comes to the tight ends, you don't have 0:12:40.559 --> 0:12:43.320 Blake Jarwin. You're worried about that. You're worried about having 0:12:43.320 --> 0:12:46.600 a receiving threat like Blake Jarwin in the middle, and 0:12:46.640 --> 0:12:48.600 you didn't have that, or at least seemingly heading into 0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:50.360 the week, we thought it was gonna be the Blake 0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:53.920 Bell and Dalton Schultz show blocking. It wasn't gonna be 0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:56.400 a ton of involvement in the passing game. That was 0:12:56.440 --> 0:13:00.720 not right. Dalton Schultz stood up. He was in multiple 0:13:00.960 --> 0:13:04.920 big time key plays down the stretch, including the touchdown. 0:13:04.960 --> 0:13:07.320 But whenever it comes to Dalton Shoultz, is that's something 0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:12.720 that he can be consistent in Isaiah moving forward. I 0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:14.559 don't know. I mean, I don't know. I mean, he 0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:17.160 definitely he showed up. He showed up yesterday, right um, 0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:19.120 And and that's that's one game that we can credit 0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:21.240 it to. He showed up and he showed out. Uh, 0:13:21.400 --> 0:13:24.319 you know, every team presents his own challenges, right, every 0:13:24.320 --> 0:13:27.360 team presents his own challenges. I don't foresee him having 0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:30.840 any issues this coming week against Seattle. I know we're 0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:32.840 not talking about Seattle yet, but you know, Seattle has 0:13:32.840 --> 0:13:36.240 some injuries yesterday that's gonna play into his favor. But 0:13:36.720 --> 0:13:38.920 I think that he'll be okay over these next few weeks. 0:13:38.960 --> 0:13:40.360 But if you face the team that has a really 0:13:40.400 --> 0:13:42.959 good defensive end, that's when that's when things get a 0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:45.760 little bit tricky. Oh man, you're gonna give us our 0:13:45.840 --> 0:13:50.079 twenty four hour rule, Isaiah, You're gonna let us celebrate this, 0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:55.120 all right. So it's a care of business, all right, 0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:59.360 all right, the question Dalton shouts, can definitely do it. 0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:01.760 I was show impressed and so proud of the game 0:14:01.800 --> 0:14:04.120 that he had yesterday, especially with all the dirt that 0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:08.200 was thrown on him after the Rams loss. And also 0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:12.480 Bill Doozer. We had a Billdozer showing on third down. Man, 0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:15.440 he came up big. Both of those guys blocked just 0:14:15.520 --> 0:14:19.000 superior blocking for both of these guys. But man, I mean, 0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:22.880 you gotta credit Atlanta's defense for just forgetting about Dalton 0:14:22.960 --> 0:14:25.880 Sholtz and just giving him an opportunity to just running 0:14:25.920 --> 0:14:29.000 those windows. And he did a phenomenal job of finding 0:14:29.040 --> 0:14:32.040 that space and sitting down on that scene. Man, Dalton 0:14:32.120 --> 0:14:36.440 shots man, what an amazing play played for him yesterday. 0:14:36.520 --> 0:14:38.280 But man, I thought he had a I thought he 0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:43.000 had two touchdowns yesterday on that one where Dean Jones 0:14:43.160 --> 0:14:47.400 blew up Dak Prescott and the ball went to Daltons show. 0:14:47.440 --> 0:14:49.480 Dalton shows. I thought he made an athletic move and 0:14:49.480 --> 0:14:51.040 got into the end zone, but they said he was 0:14:51.040 --> 0:14:53.480 stopped at the one yard line. You know, I looked 0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:55.280 at Dave Helman in the press box at one point 0:14:55.320 --> 0:14:57.360 and I said, you know what, I'm never I am 0:14:57.440 --> 0:15:00.520 never making a judgment off of training camp practice ever again, 0:15:00.960 --> 0:15:03.480 ever again, because of some of the stuff that we 0:15:03.520 --> 0:15:07.200 saw through two quarters. Maybe I'm like, Okay, this is 0:15:07.240 --> 0:15:10.080 not what I saw in practice. But Dalton Schultz had 0:15:10.080 --> 0:15:11.920 a heck of a training camp, and I've been kind 0:15:11.920 --> 0:15:13.440 of waiting for him to have a game like this. 0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:15.680 I thought in the playoff game a couple of years ago, 0:15:15.680 --> 0:15:18.680 he did some good things and they drafted him. I 0:15:18.720 --> 0:15:20.840 know it was the fourth round, but they drafted him 0:15:20.880 --> 0:15:23.320 with kind of Jason Witten in mine, like a guy 0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:26.520 that can kind of do it all potentially, And I'm 0:15:26.520 --> 0:15:28.400 with Isaiah, like, you got to see it more than 0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:31.640 one week. But he has the talent and I think 0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:33.920 the overall skill level to be a productive tight end 0:15:33.920 --> 0:15:35.760 in this league. And they, man, they really need him 0:15:35.800 --> 0:15:39.040 to carry it forward. After this game, both Dalton Schultz 0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:41.880 and Blake Bell according to Pro Football Focus, where the 0:15:41.960 --> 0:15:46.040 two of the top four graded players on offense and 0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:49.200 in blocking yesterday, and the fact that they also made 0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:51.440 an impact in the receiving game, I think that's something 0:15:51.480 --> 0:15:54.600 that could carry forward and really make you excited if 0:15:54.600 --> 0:15:57.200 you're Cowboys fans, because you've got the weapons. You've got 0:15:57.200 --> 0:15:59.520 Cede Lamb, you've got Michael Gallup, you've got Amari Cooper. 0:15:59.720 --> 0:16:02.320 You don't need Dalton Schultz to have nine receptions in 0:16:02.360 --> 0:16:04.680 eighty eight yards. Sure, yesterday to get to the forty burger, 0:16:04.760 --> 0:16:06.320 you did need that. But you need them to be 0:16:06.440 --> 0:16:08.920 great blockers. You need them to be efficient on offense, 0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:10.880 and they were that yesterday, and I think that's the 0:16:10.920 --> 0:16:13.960 most impressive thing for me moving forward. But we'll be 0:16:14.040 --> 0:16:16.800 right back here with talking Cowboys when we return. Was 0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:19.200 this a bad coaching job for Mike McCarthy and where 0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:21.320 do they improve heading into week three?

Glad you're with us here on 0:18:44.400 --> 0:18:46.720 Dallas Cowboys dot com. And guys, when it comes to 0:18:46.880 --> 0:18:50.000 yesterday's game, sure there's excitement and we're having fun, and 0:18:50.040 --> 0:18:52.240 there's forty burgers flying around the table. We all took 0:18:52.240 --> 0:18:55.320 a collective bite out of our forty burger, and sure 0:18:55.359 --> 0:18:58.080 it takes great twenty four hours right after that win, 0:18:58.240 --> 0:18:59.919 and it takes just as good as it did off 0:19:00.040 --> 0:19:02.879 fresh off the stove. However, we've got to break this 0:19:02.920 --> 0:19:04.960 down because there were things left on the table for 0:19:05.000 --> 0:19:07.400 the Dallas Cowboys yesterday. And I want to I want 0:19:07.400 --> 0:19:10.800 to pose a question to you. And I've watched it 0:19:11.119 --> 0:19:12.919 the game back twice. Now I need to watch it 0:19:13.040 --> 0:19:16.000 more because I haven't really come up with a great discussion. 0:19:16.240 --> 0:19:18.960 And maybe it's just because it is fifty fifty, but 0:19:19.160 --> 0:19:21.560 was this a good coaching job for Mike McCarthy and 0:19:21.600 --> 0:19:26.400 his staff or was this a poor coaching job by 0:19:26.480 --> 0:19:28.959 Mike McCarthy and his staff that ultimately ended up in 0:19:29.000 --> 0:19:31.679 the Cowboys just making the plays they needed to do 0:19:31.720 --> 0:19:33.840 from a players standpoint down the stretch and Rob I 0:19:34.160 --> 0:19:36.719 know you probably have a good beat on this, so 0:19:36.840 --> 0:19:38.880 we'll start with you which one is a good or bad? 0:19:41.040 --> 0:19:42.679 I don't know if you can say it's bad. I 0:19:42.680 --> 0:19:47.120 mean when you when you fall back that that quickly, 0:19:47.240 --> 0:19:49.840 I mean, when you dig that deep a hole. I 0:19:49.920 --> 0:19:51.560 don't know if it's all on the coaches. I mean 0:19:51.600 --> 0:19:53.919 some of that is on players not making plays. I 0:19:53.960 --> 0:19:57.240 think you definitely can question, like I mentioned in the 0:19:57.280 --> 0:20:01.520 first quarter, the way they coached offensively early. You know, 0:20:01.520 --> 0:20:03.160 they could have moved the pocket. They could have done 0:20:03.160 --> 0:20:05.199 something to help Dak early. That would have prevented some 0:20:05.240 --> 0:20:08.280 of those mistakes, I think. And then you know, we 0:20:08.359 --> 0:20:10.879 can get into some of the questions. You know, they 0:20:10.920 --> 0:20:13.360 had a couple of fake punts and the big one 0:20:13.359 --> 0:20:15.200 that everybody's talking about that I think we probably would 0:20:15.200 --> 0:20:17.240 have led the show off with if they had lost 0:20:17.280 --> 0:20:20.920 the game. Was the decision to go for two with 0:20:21.040 --> 0:20:24.120 what nine minutes left in the fourth quarter when you're 0:20:24.119 --> 0:20:27.159
