Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
Speaker 2: Cowboys.
Speaker 3: This He's Talking Cowboys string live.
Speaker 2: From the Dallas Cowboys World Course at the Star in Frisco.
Speaker 4: Six pesscot tixis touchdown.
Speaker 1: And now your hosts Isaiah Standback, Nick Harris, John Mashoda
Speaker 1: and Kyle Yeomans.
Speaker 5: Go Dallas Cowboy.
Speaker 2: It is a victory Monday. Don't you talk in front
Speaker 2: of me on a victory Monday. What are you doing?
Speaker 6: Nick Harris, still haven't figured that one out.
Speaker 2: It's a victory Monday here on Talking Cowboys. You gotta
Speaker 2: wait for the.
Speaker 3: Beat to You gotta wait for all of it to happen,
Speaker 3: and the song starts going, and by the time like
Speaker 3: the song ends normally I'll be at the Cowboys beat
Speaker 3: the Patriots thirty eight to three on Sunday afternoon. And
Speaker 3: then you pause while it.
Speaker 2: Plays in the distance.
Speaker 6: You gonna run that back.
Speaker 2: It's called hitting the post. No, it's okay, Cat. It
Speaker 2: was a Ford slap and a backwards slap. It was
Speaker 2: sounded like both. I mean a thirty eight to three.
Speaker 2: It was a forward and a backwards boom. It was
Speaker 2: it was a Rick James.
Speaker 7: It was.
Speaker 2: It was a Rick James slap one in the five fingers.
Speaker 2: What were you wanting to wanting to fit in there
Speaker 2: right at the beginning.
Speaker 6: Oh no, I was just saying I don't quite figured
Speaker 6: that out yet. Oh that's so I said the song.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Oh yeah, yeah, I mean it's okay.
Speaker 3: There's only been three wins so far, still very early
Speaker 3: seventy five percent.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 3: And the biggest and most significant loss handed the Bill
Speaker 3: Belichick in its entire head coaching career, a thirty five
Speaker 3: point beat down at AT and T Stadium. It was
Speaker 3: really an unbelievable showing from all three phases, and it
Speaker 3: got back to what the Cowboys did in weeks one
Speaker 3: and week two, because then you now you look at
Speaker 3: that Week three matchup as a potential blip. I don't
Speaker 3: want to name it as a blip just yet, but
Speaker 3: now it has the potential to be one after what
Speaker 3: they did to the Patriots on Sunday.
Speaker 6: Yeah, absolutely, and it was.
Speaker 5: It was something actually I wrote about last night, was
Speaker 5: Arizona was the exception, not the first two weeks, because
Speaker 5: they came back in Week four and they almost immediately
Speaker 5: replicated what they did in the first two weeks. The
Speaker 5: defense got after it early, defensive touchdowns, special teams was
Speaker 5: helping out. How about Chauncey Golston catching a two point
Speaker 5: conversion and then the offense it was effective getting down
Speaker 5: the field. And I'm sure we'll still talk about red
Speaker 5: zone this week, and you know that'll be a point.
Speaker 5: But you know, when the defense is performing like this,
Speaker 5: it's tough to find anybody in the league that can
Speaker 5: beat them. And I mean that, I really don't think
Speaker 5: that anybody in this league and beat them. When the
Speaker 5: defense is playing like like they were last night, like
Speaker 5: they were against the Jets, like they were against the Giants,
Speaker 5: it's just too much to overcome.
Speaker 2: Do you want to talk about Hunter Lipkey too? Do it?
Speaker 2: Do it now?
Speaker 6: You know since you brought it up.
Speaker 2: Oh there's an undershirt.
Speaker 4: I know, there's no way nice, Oh way one moment.
Speaker 2: Oh this is happening deep. I almost got it this morning.
Speaker 2: This is coming to the state pull back for life. Wow,
Speaker 2: I love this. WHOA made it this morning?
Speaker 5: Fresh fresh off the rack, Fresh off the rack. It'll
Speaker 5: be eighty dollars on Nick Harris dot com later, but
Speaker 5: like it. But yeah, how about our man get in
Speaker 5: the end zone.
Speaker 2: I knew you were a hundred lipkey Stan.
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm always going to bring it up, especially
Speaker 3: when he has his first NFL touchdown. I had no
Speaker 3: idea that was coming. Yeah, I had no idea. Should
Speaker 3: have known that was on.
Speaker 2: The way I saw the undershirt. I should have known.
Speaker 2: You should have known he wears an undershirt.
Speaker 6: Though normally right, Yeah, but it's typically black, but it's
Speaker 6: inside out. It's inside out details inside out shirt. Yeah,
Speaker 6: it's an inside out shirt that I made this morning.
Speaker 5: And it's honestly like, I used to work out in
Speaker 5: this shirt and I found like a sweatstain on it.
Speaker 6: I was like, you know what, I just need to
Speaker 6: get rid of this.
Speaker 5: So this is the last day this this shirt is
Speaker 5: ever being used and then it's getting sold to anybody
Speaker 5: who's a hundred lucky stand like the auctions open should give.
Speaker 3: It to charity or something that'd be kind of like
Speaker 3: for real, Like if he wanted to auction it off
Speaker 3: for real and then maybe give.
Speaker 2: The money to charity. Why not?
Speaker 6: Yeah, why not?
Speaker 2: But just an idea, just an idea. What do you
Speaker 2: think about the wind that was? Do you want to
Speaker 2: talk about a Hunter Locky.
Speaker 5: Absolutely, I do, yeah, absolutely. I actually talked to him
Speaker 5: after the game in the locker room and he was
Speaker 5: so high. He was so excited. He was like, yeah,
Speaker 5: I spiked it, gave a little flex and then I
Speaker 5: forgot the ball and Dak had to come up.
Speaker 6: And give me the ball.
Speaker 5: I saw that, he said, he just kind of like
Speaker 5: blacked out on the sideline. He says he doesn't remember
Speaker 5: anything after that.
Speaker 6: He was just excited. I was like, let's go.
Speaker 5: But I will say with Rico Dawdle potentially missing time,
Speaker 5: I will figure more out today probably and later into
Speaker 5: this week. They're gonna need somebody to step up in
Speaker 5: pass protection in the backfield, but also a guy that
Speaker 5: can be a thread out of the backfield, because you
Speaker 5: don't want a guy back there who's just being used
Speaker 5: for pass protection and then everyone knows what's happening pre
Speaker 5: snap whenever that guy's on the field. So there might
Speaker 5: be an opportunity for Hunter Lucky moving forward, not only
Speaker 5: what we saw last night after Dalda went down, but
Speaker 5: just in general.
Speaker 2: M two things Kyle right off the back.
Speaker 4: First thing, I want to send uh some some good
Speaker 4: vibes and prayers up for all those players that have
Speaker 4: to go to in the meeting room with Bill Belichick
Speaker 4: this morning, because that is going to be horrific.
Speaker 2: So definitely they're gonna need you, guys. Prayers.
Speaker 4: Second of all, just saying I'm just gonna be it's
Speaker 4: gonna be by, It's gonna be real.
Speaker 2: By it especially at one in three. Yeah, it's just
Speaker 2: not good. It's not good.
Speaker 4: But the worst loss ever, worst loss that's not gonna
Speaker 4: sit very well, just telling you.
Speaker 2: And second of all, uh no disrespect man.
Speaker 4: Like I did not believe that Dallas was going to
Speaker 4: be able to control the trenches. I also didn't think
Speaker 4: that that Tyler, Biada and Martin we're gonna play right.
Speaker 4: But still even with those guys playing, I knew it
Speaker 4: was gonna be a tall task against against this new
Speaker 4: England front, and they shut it down, right, they shut
Speaker 4: it down. Unfortunately, you know, Judno only got a small dose.
Speaker 4: I would have liked to see that matchup more right,
Speaker 4: having a solid defensive end really going up against our
Speaker 4: front to use that as a kind of a marker
Speaker 4: as a test. So prayers up to him. Hopefully he
Speaker 4: gets has a fast recovery. I know they had a
Speaker 4: couple of major injuries over there on their side. But
Speaker 4: I did not believe that Dallas was gonna be able
Speaker 4: to hold it down the way they did on the front,
Speaker 4: and that was on both sides of the ball. And
Speaker 4: I was completely proven wrong, And I am glad that
Speaker 4: I was proven wrong, because these guys you have to
Speaker 4: be able to control the aspect of the game. There
Speaker 4: is no question marks in regards to the personnel outside
Speaker 4: the interior line of this team.
Speaker 2: On both sides of the ball, there's there's no questions.
Speaker 4: You know, you have the dbs, you have the receivers,
Speaker 4: you have the running backs, you have all the skilled
Speaker 4: position players. You can have all that, But the question
Speaker 4: mark has always been can you move the ball on
Speaker 4: the ground effectively whenever you want to? And can you
Speaker 4: go ahead and stop teams from running the ball. That's
Speaker 4: always the only questions that really ever exist on this team.
Speaker 4: That's what they are aside from kicker going to get
Speaker 4: into the camp, and we always have a kicker coming
Speaker 4: out of camp, right, But they answer that call. And
Speaker 4: to your point, seventy five percent of this year, right
Speaker 4: in terms of what we've seen, they have executed. They
Speaker 4: have actually They've shown us that they're fully capable of
Speaker 4: doing that. People can keep looking to the Arizona game
Speaker 4: all day long. I don't look at those games like that.
Speaker 4: The reason why is because every team presents a different matchup,
Speaker 4: and unless you're facing that team twice a year, I
Speaker 4: can't call it up. I want an old game or whatever,
Speaker 4: like I give the other team respect. They beat you
Speaker 4: that day, right, So Dallas has an opportunity for going
Speaker 4: forward to beat every team that shows up on their schedule.
Speaker 2: And that's all they can control. What happened happened. Now.
Speaker 4: They just have to continue to put out this type
Speaker 4: of performance every single week. And obviously we'll get into
Speaker 4: it later on this week they have a big test
Speaker 4: coming up.
Speaker 5: Almost every position group and unit reboundy yesterday. I mean
Speaker 5: that's that's without stating, but especially the trenches on both
Speaker 5: sides of the ball.
Speaker 6: I mean they were dominant.
Speaker 2: It was.
Speaker 6: It started with Tyler Smith.
Speaker 5: I think on on the offensive line, Tyler Biattish had
Speaker 5: a good game before he got pulled out.
Speaker 6: I think like third quarter Zach Martin as well.
Speaker 5: I mean Chewy Doga even held his own whenever Judn
Speaker 5: was in for for most of the game. So and
Speaker 5: then on the defensive side, they were generating push. In
Speaker 5: the run game, it was Hankins, it was Mazie getting
Speaker 5: in there on a probably I think I had about
Speaker 5: fifteen snaps for I was Neville Gallimore had the game
Speaker 5: of his life. I Patrick Walker was sitting next to
Speaker 5: me in the press box, and it felt like every
Speaker 5: five minutes, I was like, did you just see nev
Speaker 5: Nev just do that?
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, didn't have count in his helmet or
Speaker 2: something like that.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was. It was crazy.
Speaker 3: I think hit best his best day so far. I mean,
Speaker 3: you could add it up on the list. The interior
Speaker 3: of that defensive line set the tone just as much
Speaker 3: as the interior of the offensive line set the tone
Speaker 3: on the offensive side. So I think it's impressive to
Speaker 3: see the jump that they did make, because that was
Speaker 3: one of our questions last week was how much can
Speaker 3: you fix in one week? How much can you turn
Speaker 3: around in one week? And it turns out you can
Speaker 3: fix quite a bit in one week. The Cowboys are
Speaker 3: used to this. They're nine and one since the beginning
Speaker 3: of the twenty twenty one season. Following a loss.
Speaker 2: They know how to rebound.
Speaker 3: And they've done so very well since the start of
Speaker 3: that season. But I think this might have been the
Speaker 3: most impressive one because of how down the loss of
Speaker 3: the Cardinals was, because of how much you were dominated
Speaker 3: on both sides of the football, and then the way
Speaker 3: you come back against a really good Patriots defense.
Speaker 2: I don't want to talk about their offense.
Speaker 3: Their offense has plenty of problems, and we saw that
Speaker 3: again yesterday, but that defense came in as one of
Speaker 3: the top units in the NFL, and you made them
Speaker 3: look like they had just as many problems as the offense.
Speaker 5: I will say, even as the night went on last
Speaker 5: night and I'm watching that Jets Chiefs game, yeah, I
Speaker 5: continue to feel better about where this team is at.
Speaker 5: Even coming out of Week three against Arizona. The Chiefs
Speaker 5: and the Bills both struggle with that Jets defense, and
Speaker 5: the Cowboys did their way with him.
Speaker 6: And you can look at the Patriots as well.
Speaker 5: You know who the Patriots have played so far this
Speaker 5: season and what they have put together defensively, and what
Speaker 5: the Cowboys did to them literally from start to finish
Speaker 5: last night. So man, I think I think there's a
Speaker 5: lot of great things to take away, not a lot
Speaker 5: of negatives.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I want to save the defensive talk for the
Speaker 3: next segment, but I want to start on the offensive line.
Speaker 2: You brought up Tyler Smith.
Speaker 3: Tyler Smith is quickly becoming one of my favorite players
Speaker 3: maybe in Cowboys history, because I really love the way
Speaker 3: that he handles himself.
Speaker 2: I love the way that he plays the game. You
Speaker 2: talk about a guy who's willing and open to being
Speaker 2: a good teammate.
Speaker 3: You saw that last year with the way that he
Speaker 3: bounced inside and outside, the way that he plays the
Speaker 3: game with a ferocity, with an intensity of physicality. He
Speaker 3: is uber strong, but also just the way he handles
Speaker 3: himself off the field too. And now I'm talking in
Speaker 3: terms of favorite player in Cowboys history. I'm not saying
Speaker 3: it's the best player. I'm saying one out of the
Speaker 3: guys that I've watched or interacted with, he's one of
Speaker 3: those top guys because he did his job all day long.
Speaker 3: And so last week against Arizona too, I thought that
Speaker 3: was maybe one of the two bright spots in that
Speaker 3: Arizona game, was what he was able to do just
Speaker 3: by himself on an island at the guard spot.
Speaker 2: Then he gets some help back from Tyler Biattish.
Speaker 3: He gets a full week of reps with Chew Madoga
Speaker 3: and he helped push that defense backwards and it was
Speaker 3: really impressive to watch up front.
Speaker 5: I love what Tyler Smith did from start to finish.
Speaker 5: I mean there wasn't a ton of pressure generated on
Speaker 5: deck throughout the night. I think he was sacked once
Speaker 5: or twice. But I mean the running game was able
Speaker 5: to be effective, effective enough to get the passing game going.
Speaker 5: I think completion's to ten different receivers yesterday, that's just
Speaker 5: a credit to the protection.
Speaker 2: Areas to eight different players too.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, everybody got involved, absolutely wild. I think a
Speaker 5: little bit of that was just, you know, it kind
Speaker 5: of getting out of hand late. But if you looked
Speaker 5: at this box score probably you know, mid third quarter,
Speaker 5: that would still tell the same story. But Tyler smith Man,
Speaker 5: it definitely looks like he's made a second year jump,
Speaker 5: which we always talk about the second year jump. I
Speaker 5: feel like we haven't really talked about it with Tyler
Speaker 5: Smith since the started training camp, just because of how
Speaker 5: good his rookie year was. His second year jump has
Speaker 5: all pro potential.
Speaker 2: Yes, Isaiah raising your hand speaking of second year jumps,
Speaker 2: Oh you were gonna take my transition here? Sure what
Speaker 2: Jaylen Tobert?
Speaker 3: Oh, I was on your saying, Jake Ferguson, Jalen freaking Tober,
Speaker 3: how about that?
Speaker 4: Listen here, everybody wants to talk about his offensive contributions.
Speaker 4: And yes, he has made a substantial stride in that,
Speaker 4: right perceptions, fifty three yards.
Speaker 2: It's more than what he had in the entire.
Speaker 4: Absolutely two season. He's been showing up over the past
Speaker 4: few weeks. Right, this is not just the first time
Speaker 4: he showed up this year. Right, They just threw it
Speaker 4: to him more often this time around.
Speaker 2: Was he four for four? Yeah? Four for four?
Speaker 4: How about the effort and the execution on special teams?
Speaker 4: That was the most impressive thing to me, because that
Speaker 4: is the most undervalue thing from the fans perspective. Fans
Speaker 4: we can really look over for the majority of the
Speaker 4: time because they go straight to the commercial.
Speaker 2: Nobody talks about it. Right, It's all right, we'll be
Speaker 2: right back, right, But that's when you go get the chips, right,
Speaker 2: you know you've been holding it dream, That's what it is.
Speaker 4: This dude, I don't understand how difficult it is to
Speaker 4: make a play from the gunner position. Okay, he was
Speaker 4: going against arguably the best gunner in the history of football.
Speaker 2: He was playing again.
Speaker 4: On the other side of the ball was Matthew Slater,
Speaker 4: who's arguably the best gunner and special teamer ever in
Speaker 4: the history of the game. Right ten Pro Bowls, He's
Speaker 4: going to be a Hall of Famer, probably one of
Speaker 4: the first Hall of famers at the specialist position.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 4: On the opposite side, you had Jalen Tolbert going down
Speaker 4: there taking on the challenge. Whether he was thinking about
Speaker 4: Matthew Slater or not, I don't care, but he was
Speaker 4: going down there and showing you exactly what he's capable of.
Speaker 2: From the special teams perspective.
Speaker 4: He had an impact on his game in a major way,
Speaker 4: going down there and making a big hit. Okay, just
Speaker 4: taking off just I was about to say something else,
Speaker 4: taking off.
Speaker 2: Just I mean, I didn't say it with your check.
Speaker 2: I haven't seen that speed out of him. He has
Speaker 2: kind of that personality.
Speaker 4: It is kind of like I'm chill, like I have
Speaker 4: the capabilities, but I don't always show it. He took
Speaker 4: that limitar off. He was the best thing in the
Speaker 4: world for me to see. I'm not sure if everybody
Speaker 4: else saw it, but he went down there and made
Speaker 4: one heck of a play and then followed it up.
Speaker 2: With offensive plays.
Speaker 4: So, however he was on the field and was being
Speaker 4: asked to be utilized, he was producing. And that's all
Speaker 4: you could ask of anybody on the roster. But even
Speaker 4: more so from where he came from last year to
Speaker 4: where he is today, super kudos to him.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 5: When he came in and made that tackle on that
Speaker 5: punt return, I first thought it was CJ. Goodwin just
Speaker 5: because of how fast he closed and the ability to
Speaker 5: make that tackle and the physicality and the tackle too. Yes,
Speaker 5: And then when I looked down, H'm like, oh that's eighteen.
Speaker 6: That's Tolbert. Yeah, pro hesitation.
Speaker 5: It was super awesome to see. And then in the
Speaker 5: receiving game he was just as effective, I mean, getting
Speaker 5: physical with guys on the boundary. I think he was
Speaker 5: matched up with Christian Gonzales once and it had beat him,
Speaker 5: but Dak had gone the other way.
Speaker 6: But it was really good to see Tolberry esh show.
Speaker 3: Was and looking at his snapcowns offensively, I mean, Tolbert
Speaker 3: ended up with twenty four offensive snaps seventeen special team snaps.
Speaker 3: If you're going to play like that on special teams
Speaker 3: and then contribute and catch all four of your time
Speaker 3: targets and make some moves on offense, you will see
Speaker 3: more than twenty four snaps and that was thirty four
Speaker 3: percent of the offensive looks.
Speaker 2: He's gonna see that. Continue to step up. That's not
Speaker 2: bad on the way.
Speaker 3: I want to go to Jake Ferguson too, because that
Speaker 3: was the other second year jump that we're taking a
Speaker 3: look at.
Speaker 2: I mean, seven of seven for seventy seven yards. You
Speaker 2: should have gone on handling ance game. Yeah. I was
Speaker 2: about to saying you can't.
Speaker 3: You can't gamble in the NFL, but you could. He
Speaker 3: might have had some luck if he would have gone
Speaker 3: to the slots. But seven to seven for seventy seven.
Speaker 3: When you look at Jake Ferguson, what impresses you the
Speaker 3: most about what he's taken, what step he's taking going
Speaker 3: into the second year.
Speaker 5: I would say the thing that's impressed me the Moses
Speaker 5: is run blocking. Actually it would not even be in
Speaker 5: the receiving game. That was something we had to talk about.
Speaker 5: And it's saying a ton because when we came into
Speaker 5: the season, when we went into draft season, we were
Speaker 5: talking about how the Cowboys need a tight end that
Speaker 5: can assist in run blocking, especially with Ezekiel Elliott being
Speaker 5: out now and you don't have that added protection and
Speaker 5: pass pro as well if you wanted to throw him
Speaker 5: in that situation. And man, Jake Ferguson is has taken
Speaker 5: that upon himself and he's excelled with it so much
Speaker 5: so that it's allowed that tight end group to kind
Speaker 5: of just develop at their own pace in that department.
Speaker 5: But talking about the receiving end, man yesterday was great
Speaker 5: getting him open in the seams, quick routes. He's that
Speaker 5: safety net for dak Prescott across the middle of the
Speaker 5: field that I think will just consistently, We'll consistently see
Speaker 5: these type of performances from Jake Ferguson.
Speaker 4: I think, yeah, Fergie, I haven't really paid much attention
Speaker 4: to his running blocking, so I can't speak to that
Speaker 4: right now, but in terms of his reception, I mean,
Speaker 4: he's being that consistent guy. I mean, everybody knows Dakla
Speaker 4: is a good tight end and he's fighting him. He's
Speaker 4: finding them often. I mean, he came into this, he
Speaker 4: came into this game with the most targets in the
Speaker 4: red zone in the entire NFL. He probably left the
Speaker 4: game with the most targets in the red zone in
Speaker 4: the entire NFL. He's just becoming that tried and true,
Speaker 4: trustworthy tight end that you could really start to depend on.
Speaker 4: And that's why you're seeing his attempts right and reception
Speaker 4: start to go up.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think the way that you're looking at
Speaker 3: this tight end room now is Ferguson a considerable gap
Speaker 3: between the guys that are that are there. Of course,
Speaker 3: Peyton Hindershot was inactive. He's been dealing with a bit
Speaker 3: of an injury. Luke Schoonmaker, he's been doing okay, but
Speaker 3: he had the driver he had to play.
Speaker 2: That might have been the best thrown ball of the.
Speaker 3: Day from Dak Prescott, and it was a it was
Speaker 3: a drop in the end zone.
Speaker 2: Got to catch that one.
Speaker 3: But for the most part, I think this tight end room,
Speaker 3: it goes back to what we talked about prior to
Speaker 3: the season when we were in draft coverage, is Okay,
Speaker 3: you've got something to grow with here. It's still not
Speaker 3: there yet and you still don't have it as a
Speaker 3: dominant weekend, week out tight end group. But you have
Speaker 3: the pieces there to utilize, and they've been utilizing them
Speaker 3: along the way as well. I want to talk red
Speaker 3: zone later in the week. Yes, I don't want to
Speaker 3: talk about it right now. This is a happy day, positive.
Speaker 3: This is a happy happy day because of that. When
Speaker 3: we come back here on Talking Cowboys, we're gonna switch
Speaker 3: the focus to the defensive side.

Speaker 3: This portion of the Talking Cowboys podcast is brought to
Speaker 3: you by Quaker Oats, a super trusted superfood Quaker Oats,
Speaker 3: the official oatmeal sponsor of the Dallas Cowboys. We've got
Speaker 3: Isaiah standback, Nick Harris, Chris Beam in the back. I'm
Speaker 3: Kyle Yeomans. We have a special guest for this segment. Okay,
Speaker 3: Hunter Lipkey.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's Lipkey Day.
Speaker 5: I hope y'all expect it that this is what the
Speaker 5: show is gonna be now, it's gotta be right.
Speaker 6: It might be the rest of the week.
Speaker 2: Everybody at home is probably like, wow, hundred lip Key's
Speaker 2: on the show. No, it's just a piece of paper
Speaker 2: sitting in a chair.
Speaker 3: But it's a great photo of Hunter Lookeys spiking his
Speaker 3: first career NFL touchdown. Nick, What was the moment like
Speaker 3: for you in the press box? I mean you were
Speaker 3: in the stadium, you were in the venue. I mean,
Speaker 3: what would it feel like whenever your guy found Peter.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, I actually heard a whistle pre snap,
Speaker 5: like I don't know, I may have come from like
Speaker 5: the stands or something. So I didn't even really take
Speaker 5: it seriously whenever it happened. And Patrick Walker was next
Speaker 5: to me, and the Nick Eatman was a couple of
Speaker 5: seats down, and they're all looking at me like that's
Speaker 5: your guy, that's your guy, And I'm like, oh, this
Speaker 5: is this counts, this counts, let's go. So I didn't
Speaker 5: even really get to take it in as soon as
Speaker 5: it happened.
Speaker 6: But uh no, it was. It was super cool to
Speaker 6: see that.
Speaker 2: That's unfortunate, yeah.
Speaker 6: But it's fine. He'll have many more.
Speaker 2: So oh good, Oh, thank goodness, I'll can do a cart. Well,
Speaker 2: the next one, we'll see, Oh can you do?
Speaker 6: I was about to say, I first need to practice
Speaker 6: a car.
Speaker 2: Wheel just ocase his shoulders.
Speaker 6: I'll just okay, a lot of.
Speaker 2: Things, all right.
Speaker 3: Let's talk about this defense. Deron Bland a company. Three
Speaker 3: total takeaways, two of which go for touchdowns. The Cowboys
Speaker 3: right now three defensive touchdowns.
Speaker 2: On the season.
Speaker 3: They also have the most in the NFL since DC
Speaker 3: dan Quinn arrived in twenty twenty one. That's twelve defensive touchdowns.
Speaker 3: I want to see that compared to some of the
Speaker 3: teams in the NFL. Like, I know, twelve is not
Speaker 3: even close to comparable to offenses since the start of
Speaker 3: the twenty twenty one season, But I feel like that's
Speaker 3: a crazy number to even talk about over three seasons,
Speaker 3: let alone what he's done.
Speaker 2: You think so twelve? I mean offense is sure? There's
Speaker 2: more than at least one offense in the NFL. You
Speaker 2: think so since the beginning of twenty twenty one, there's no, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: no no no.
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, yeah, if it was twelve years, would be great,
Speaker 3: that's my mindset.
Speaker 2: Yeah, or maybe even the three this year is probably comparable.
Speaker 5: I would like to see it compared to what this
Speaker 5: defense did, just like in the twenty tens, because it
Speaker 5: felt like they would go a whole year without a
Speaker 5: defensive touchdown and it would happen and it would be
Speaker 5: like blue Moon. But twelve and three years, I would
Speaker 5: like to see that compared with last decade.
Speaker 2: Maybe that's our research proce, maybe it is. Maybe that's what.
Speaker 3: We look into today, all right, But Dron Bland two picks.
Speaker 3: He was a talking point in the wrong way, the
Speaker 3: poor way. Coming out of that Cardinals matchup. Dan Quin
Speaker 3: said he had a nice match, but you go back
Speaker 3: and look at the film. Arizona targeted to Ron Bland,
Speaker 3: and they took advantage of really the short amount of
Speaker 3: time that he was able to practice on the boundary.
Speaker 2: He rebounded in a big.
Speaker 6: Way, Yeah, a huge way.
Speaker 5: He was a spotlight whenever Trayvon Diggs went down, and
Speaker 5: everybody was comfortable in moving him out if he talked
Speaker 5: to anybody in the building. And you see why after yesterday,
Speaker 5: him just being able to not only lock down guys,
Speaker 5: but his ball skills, being able to track down that
Speaker 5: kind of stuff. I mean, goodness, the one play that
Speaker 5: the pick six. Mac Jones had tried him earlier. He
Speaker 5: had gone across his body to the opposite dropped, not
Speaker 5: even opposite Hatch, just opposite sidelined, and Blane just kind
Speaker 5: of like he kind of missed breaking on it. And
Speaker 5: he said it postgame he was like, he wasn't gonna
Speaker 5: get away with it again, and so he came and
Speaker 5: he broke on it, and once he picked it off,
Speaker 5: he was gone. I mean, there was he could have
Speaker 5: gone two hundred yards.
Speaker 6: That was going to be a pick six.
Speaker 5: And then he had a really great pass deflection too.
Speaker 5: I believe that was late in the first half where
Speaker 5: he just closed super fast, and his closing speed is
Speaker 5: the best on this team right now. I think with
Speaker 5: Trayvon Diggs on the field, they're one A, one B.
Speaker 5: But man Deron Bland is holding his own and he
Speaker 5: has the most interceptions in the NFL since the beginning
Speaker 5: of twenty twenty two, and when everybody is healthy, you
Speaker 5: easily put him corner back three.
Speaker 6: That's just that's wild to think.
Speaker 2: He may even be corner two if you think about it.
Speaker 3: Not on the boundary, he would go back inside because
Speaker 3: that's where he's comfortable. But I mean he's the one
Speaker 3: that's making the majority of the place, and he has
Speaker 3: been since he entered the league. So I think you
Speaker 3: could have that conversation that he's the second best corner
Speaker 3: on this team.
Speaker 2: Nothing against Stefan Gilmour. That's just how good dron Bland
Speaker 2: has been to this point. What do you think about
Speaker 2: dB and the defense yesterday? DB's a really good dB,
Speaker 2: he really is.
Speaker 4: I mean, ever since he's touched foot on the ground,
Speaker 4: since he came in last year, he's done nothing to
Speaker 4: make plays. He's been nothing to be a consistent resource
Speaker 4: for these guys. You go back to when the line
Speaker 4: of duty called upon him last year and he answered
Speaker 4: the call. You know, obviously she was a Jay Lou
Speaker 4: went out last year, right, so he stay, he steps in,
Speaker 4: makes place. That's how you find out. That was his
Speaker 4: introduction to the league, was getting interceptions. So we spoke
Speaker 4: highly about him last year because he answered a call.
Speaker 4: Now all of a sudden this year he was already
Speaker 4: a starter, but now he answers a call. If Trayvon
Speaker 4: Diggs going down, your your best, your best cornerback on
Speaker 4: his team goes down, and he steps up, goes from
Speaker 4: the inside. All Right, we need you to go outside
Speaker 4: much like uh, much like a Tyler Smith last year. Right,
Speaker 4: you know, you know, answer answer to the call. You
Speaker 4: got that Riocky class really stepping up in a major way.
Speaker 4: Now he goes out there and makes plays at the
Speaker 4: outside cornerback position, and it was It's just awesome. It's
Speaker 4: really cool to have be able to have that depth
Speaker 4: on your team that you could really depend on not
Speaker 4: only to execute their assignments, but to be playmakers.
Speaker 3: It's crazy because we've talked so much about the front
Speaker 3: seven and the pressure that's put on mac Jones, and
Speaker 3: there was certainly pressure there.
Speaker 2: Yesterday, maybe not as many sacks.
Speaker 3: You had the strip sack from Dante Faller Junior leading
Speaker 3: to Leyton van der Rash and his first NFL touchdown.
Speaker 3: He told us on the postgame show yesterday that it
Speaker 3: was the first touchdown he scored since he was playing
Speaker 3: quarterback in high school.
Speaker 2: He wasn't even playing an eleven man football in high school.
Speaker 2: I mean, so this is the first time in eleven
Speaker 2: man organized football that he has scored a touchdown. But
Speaker 2: the second sact came later. It was just kind of
Speaker 2: a no big deal.
Speaker 3: Toward the end of it, but it was the secondary
Speaker 3: that I thought did the best job. Going back and
Speaker 3: watching the film, I thought stuff Gilmore was solid. Of course,
Speaker 3: we saw what Jeron Blam was doing. Then there were
Speaker 3: times when Duran was beat off the line of scrimmage,
Speaker 3: but then he would make a play late or he
Speaker 3: would he would make the right take the right angle,
Speaker 3: make the right read, he would read the quarterback the
Speaker 3: ball skills he talked about getting there.
Speaker 2: And making a play.
Speaker 3: But then I really liked the interior of that defensive
Speaker 3: line too, and we talked about that a little bit already.
Speaker 3: But it allowed everyone else to play free off the
Speaker 3: second level, and it allowed for guys like Layton van
Speaker 3: der Rush and Damoon and Clark to have probably one
Speaker 3: of their.
Speaker 2: Best games of the year too.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was just about to say Layton vander RESHI
Speaker 5: had his best game of the season so far yesterday.
Speaker 5: He was flying downhill in the run game, he was
Speaker 5: playing really well in coverage. In the getting back into
Speaker 5: the secondary. That second level was awesome, and that's something
Speaker 5: we really talked about last week. It was not only
Speaker 5: the interior defensive line, but the second level really needs
Speaker 5: to step up. If this defense wants to maximize its potential.
Speaker 5: They answered that call, and they did that even when
Speaker 5: in a game where Michael Parsons was mostly kept quiet.
Speaker 5: I think the Patriots did a really good job of
Speaker 5: keeping him limited. Also, he was off the field for
Speaker 5: a little bit in the first half with what Aaron
Speaker 5: Andrews called a tweaked knee on the sideline. But even
Speaker 5: aside from that, whenever he did return to the field
Speaker 5: in before that, they did a good job of limiting
Speaker 5: him and limiting the edges in general.
Speaker 6: DeMarcus Lawrence same way.
Speaker 5: And so it was that interior defensive line, that second
Speaker 5: level like, hey, guys, we need you to generate that
Speaker 5: pressure now, and they did that.
Speaker 3: How big is it to have the defense step up
Speaker 3: the way that they did, and specifically the guys that
Speaker 3: struggled against Arizona interior defensive line linebackers and have them
Speaker 3: step up and show that, hey, that was possibly as huge.
Speaker 4: I mean when you talk about the defensive line, the
Speaker 4: defensive line starts everything defensively for any team. I don't
Speaker 4: care who you are, right otherwise, just give up, give
Speaker 4: up the cookies every single every single play. But by
Speaker 4: the d line performing well by them getting off the
Speaker 4: snap count. Like Gallimore was, I don't know what he
Speaker 4: was doing. He was playing out of this world getting
Speaker 4: off the getting off those snapcount.
Speaker 2: But defensive line gets.
Speaker 4: Penetration allow us these second level guys Vander ash and
Speaker 4: Damone Clark to be your leading tacklers, and that's what
Speaker 4: you want. You don't want your defensive backs being your
Speaker 4: leader leading tacklers on the team for a game. So
Speaker 4: you have vander Esher, I think we had seven combined tackles,
Speaker 4: Dumont Clark has six combined tackles. That's what you want
Speaker 4: to see on your stat sheet because that means the
Speaker 4: teams are trying to run the ball and they were
Speaker 4: ineffective because the linebackers were free to flow when you
Speaker 4: try to.
Speaker 2: Get to the sideline.
Speaker 4: These guys are going out there, you know, cornerbacks are
Speaker 4: consuming the receivers and the linebackers are able to free
Speaker 4: flow because the lignemen aren't working up to your second level.
Speaker 4: So when you have that, when you have that impact
Speaker 4: on your defensive line, the benefit actors are always going
Speaker 4: to be your linebackers. And that is very important for
Speaker 4: this team and it's going to be very important for
Speaker 4: his team coming this week.
Speaker 3: And one question I've been dying to ask you since
Speaker 3: I started watching the film back this morning.
Speaker 2: There were a lot of times I.
Speaker 3: Found myself looking at the certain plays that had mac
Speaker 3: Jones rolling out or pressured or whatever ended.
Speaker 2: Up happening, and the mistakes happened from Mac Jones.
Speaker 3: I kept asking myself, was this a product of the
Speaker 3: Dallas defensive scheme? Or was this a product of mac
Speaker 3: Jones having just an awful game? Because he was not good,
Speaker 3: and Patriots fans will say the same thing, Bill Belichick
Speaker 3: will say.
Speaker 2: The same thing. I'm sure Mac Jones will be all
Speaker 2: the same thing. Yeah he was not good.
Speaker 3: But was that a byproduct of how good Dallas was
Speaker 3: defensively or maybe just a mixture of both.
Speaker 4: I mean, I think I don't think you can just
Speaker 4: look at this game. I think you have to do
Speaker 4: exactly what Nick was saying and go back and look
Speaker 4: at the sample size from the previous three games and say, Okay, well,
Speaker 4: you know, make Jones, Yeah, even though he was terrible
Speaker 4: last night, this is what we've been doing to everybody.
Speaker 4: So when you look at it from that perspective, you
Speaker 4: have to give credit to the scheme and the personnel,
Speaker 4: and you have to wig wag less on the fact
Speaker 4: that the quarterback was just an awful quarterback.
Speaker 6: I think it's a little bit of both.
Speaker 5: For sure, you don't make that throw to Deron Bland
Speaker 5: on the pick six and say that it was the
Speaker 5: defensive scheme that just overwhelmed. Great play by Bland, not
Speaker 5: taking anything away from him or to Pack, But I
Speaker 5: wouldn't have made that throw. I feel like I've never
Speaker 5: been in the heat of the moment, but I don't
Speaker 5: feel like I would have anyway. The defensive scheme, I
Speaker 5: think from the very beginning though, really overwhelmed Mac Jones
Speaker 5: as well.
Speaker 6: So it's a credit to both.
Speaker 5: If I had to put it at percentages, I put
Speaker 5: it like sixty five thirty.
Speaker 2: Five, okay.
Speaker 3: And another reason why I asked the question is you've
Speaker 3: done it against Daniel Jones, You've done it against Zach Wilson,
Speaker 3: You've now done it versus Mac Jones. Can you do
Speaker 3: it against Brock Purty. That's my upcoming question.
Speaker 4: We're gonna find out. We're gonna find out. I mean that, obviously,
Speaker 4: we'll get more into the forty nine ers this week.
Speaker 4: They have far more weapons, far more, far greater offensive scheme.
Speaker 4: So this is gonna be a chess match. Obviously in
Speaker 4: the offensive coordinator defensive coordinators booths.
Speaker 2: How about this?
Speaker 3: Did it build your confidence level in this defense going
Speaker 3: into Mac Jones?
Speaker 2: It doesn't change any It doesn't change anything for me.
Speaker 2: I mean, I think we listen.
Speaker 4: I'm not don't gonna take anything away from from our defense.
Speaker 4: Our defense is absolutely bawling out and I don't care
Speaker 4: who's that quarterback for the posing team. It's hard to
Speaker 4: do what this defense is doing. These numbers are absolutely insane.
Speaker 4: The pressure is insane. They are across the board how
Speaker 4: guys are making plays. But those those quarterbacks are not
Speaker 4: good quarterbacks. Let's just just keep it one hundred Daniel Jones,
Speaker 4: you know, Zach Wilson and.
Speaker 2: And Mac Jones.
Speaker 4: Those guys are It's probably at the bottom of the
Speaker 4: league when you talk about quarterbacks. But you don't control
Speaker 4: who shows up on your schedule. They show up on
Speaker 4: your schedule, You take care of them. Their performance is
Speaker 4: their performance. You just take advantage of it when you can.
Speaker 4: So obviously it's gonna be a step up. I don't
Speaker 4: think I think pretty as a relatively good quarterback. I
Speaker 4: don't put them as a world beater. I just think
Speaker 4: that the scheme and what they do offensively is absolutely
Speaker 4: amazing over there in San France. So everybody's gonna be challenged.
Speaker 4: Dan Quinn's gonna be challenged there. Their film study is
Speaker 4: going to be challenged, right, Their discipline is going to
Speaker 4: be everything's going to be heightened. I mean, this is
Speaker 4: you're about to play one of the better teams in
Speaker 4: the league, as has been one of the better teams
Speaker 4: in the league for a long time. So you have
Speaker 4: to step it up, continue to make the plays that
Speaker 4: you've been making, but you're gonna have to everything else
Speaker 4: gets fine tuned.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 4: The windows are going to be dwindled down. You know,
Speaker 4: you're not gonna have quarterbacks throwing the ball late and
Speaker 4: across the across the field, right, You're gonna have to
Speaker 4: be right on top of everything. So not that you
Speaker 4: still can make your plays, but the room for error
Speaker 4: is going to be a lot less.
Speaker 5: I'm most definitely more confident after yesterday, just because I
Speaker 5: was worried at coming out of Week three. I was like,
Speaker 5: what's going to be the exception here? The first two
Speaker 5: weeks or week three, and it ended up being Week three.
Speaker 5: Re established that confidence and watching what Christian McCaffrey did
Speaker 5: in the first half yesterday, I was really concerned just
Speaker 5: about the run game in general. But my bubble gut
Speaker 5: have been calmed just a little bit. I think we're
Speaker 5: gonna need to see it. I'm gonna need to see
Speaker 5: it before I'll be completely like, Okay, you know, I
Speaker 5: need to see San Francisco go out there for four
Speaker 5: or five drives and see what that run defense does.
Speaker 5: But pus talking about Brock Party specifically, I don't. I
Speaker 5: think it's less about going against Brock Party this week,
Speaker 5: and just more so against going against all eleven on
Speaker 5: that offense with their skill guys, with their offensive line
Speaker 5: having to generate pressure with the guys that they have
Speaker 5: up front, and then the secondary having to step up
Speaker 5: with the weapons that they have. That's gonna be way
Speaker 5: more important than what Brock Party does. You know, I
Speaker 5: really like what brock Party has done early in his career,
Speaker 5: But he's a system guy.
Speaker 2: Yea.
Speaker 6: If you can defeat the system, you beat him.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: There's ways to win this game going up this week,
Speaker 3: and of course we'll talk about it mostly Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,
Speaker 3: taking calls tomorrow. But when we come back here on
Speaker 3: Talking Cowboys have one more question for Isaiah, and then
Speaker 3: we're gonna get to the smelly stickers we're gonna give
Speaker 3: away our players of the game. We're gonna put it

Speaker 2: Smelly stickers away.

Speaker 2: Back here on Talking Cowboys. This segment is brought to.
Speaker 3: You by Invisile Line, the official smile of the Dallas Cowboys,
Speaker 3: and also brought to you by the Dallas Cowboys Fan
Speaker 3: of the Year, presented by Captain Morgan, Isaiah Stanback, Nick Harris,
Speaker 3: Chris Beam in the back of Kyle Yeomans. Before we
Speaker 3: get to smelly Stickers, I want to ask Isaiah a
Speaker 3: question every day this week leading into this matchup, because
Speaker 3: I'm just curious on how it is from a mental
Speaker 3: standpoint for players going from a win like that where
Speaker 3: you're dominant, you control in all three phases. Thirty eight
Speaker 3: to three. Just take down Bill Belichick and the Patriots.
Speaker 3: You execute so well in week four, but then you
Speaker 3: immediately look ahead and you're looking straight at San Francisco,
Speaker 3: and this is not a game that will be overlooked.
Speaker 3: This is a game that's been circled for quite some time.
Speaker 3: On Monday. What is going through the player's mind today,
Speaker 3: whenever we're having this recording, whenever we're going through this.
Speaker 2: They're not gonna hit the practice field today. They have
Speaker 2: the off day tomorrow.
Speaker 3: What is Monday like in a week like this, when
Speaker 3: there's such a big game on the horizon.
Speaker 4: Get yourself feeling as good as you can, like literally,
Speaker 4: get your body feeling as healthy as possible asap because
Speaker 4: you know what's going to be a freaking bloodbath. You
Speaker 4: know that you're going to get beat the crap physically
Speaker 4: in terms of just of battling. And then you hurry
Speaker 4: and get your film done, You get your film study
Speaker 4: out the way. You hurry and get this game behind you,
Speaker 4: and you try to finish that off the first.
Speaker 2: Half of the day.
Speaker 4: You get your workout in, you do your treatment, you
Speaker 4: get your body, you know, swim, whatever else you gotta
Speaker 4: do to start feeling right, and then you start literally
Speaker 4: locking in on your next opponent because you know.
Speaker 2: There's a lot to study. There's a ton to study.
Speaker 4: You start looking for any cues that you can that's
Speaker 4: going to give you some form of an advantage. And
Speaker 4: you want to have as much film work done as
Speaker 4: possible prior to having your Wednesday meeting, your Wednesday morning meeting, uh,
Speaker 4: special teams, coaches, you know, personnel meetings. You want to
Speaker 4: have as much done as possible because once that scheme
Speaker 4: is presented to you, the game plan for the week,
Speaker 4: you want to already be ahead of the curve. And
Speaker 4: most of the time you go in there and you
Speaker 4: start trying to figure out, hey, what can I get
Speaker 4: from you right now before Wednesday so I can get
Speaker 4: ahead start.
Speaker 3: So when you when you were talking about film, you're
Speaker 3: looking back at Arizona.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you want to hurry up and look at
Speaker 2: the New England game.
Speaker 4: I mean you want to you beat the crap out
Speaker 4: of them, right, So you go and you figure out, hey,
Speaker 4: let me get my if I can get my grades early,
Speaker 4: let me get my grades early. You know, hurry up
Speaker 4: and review that because coaches honestly don't want to spend
Speaker 4: a lot of time on that. Typically that's what you're
Speaker 4: you know, your Mondays are four, you come in and
Speaker 4: get your film stuff done, and you get your reviews
Speaker 4: and you go over to watch the film, and then
Speaker 4: tuesdays your quote unquote day off.
Speaker 3: Would there ever be a game where you completely throw
Speaker 3: the film out in a win like that thirty eight
Speaker 3: to three where you say, listen, don't don't go look
Speaker 3: at that.
Speaker 4: You don't throw it out, but you you you don't
Speaker 4: spend as much time on it. Okay, Okay, So, especially
Speaker 4: when you have an opponent like the Sambrahan popping up,
Speaker 4: I don't want your focus on what you just did.
Speaker 4: You executed that, We knocked that out the park. There's
Speaker 4: some things we need to tighten up. Okay, here's a
Speaker 4: couple of clips of what we need to sure up
Speaker 4: going into this coming week. This is what we put
Speaker 4: on film, right, we expose ourselves in this regard. Let's
Speaker 4: go ahead and highlight this so that we don't have
Speaker 4: that same exposure going into this week, and then let's
Speaker 4: get done with it. Okay, Listen, we got a whole
Speaker 4: lot to talk about this week, right, This, this is.
Speaker 2: What we have to worry about.
Speaker 4: These are the personnel issues that are present. These are
Speaker 4: the schemes that are present. This is what they like
Speaker 4: to do. This is our game the last time we
Speaker 4: played them, right, the last few times we played them.
Speaker 4: This is what the commonalities that they keep presenting these
Speaker 4: you know, you start looking at all the analytics, right,
Speaker 4: they do a great job of breaking down the analytics
Speaker 4: versus this part of the field. They like to run this.
Speaker 4: They're like this personnel this percentage of the time. I mean,
Speaker 4: it's a lot, it's a lot that goes into it,
Speaker 4: but you start diving into it because literally, when you
Speaker 4: are prepared for a matchup, you're in the huddle and
Speaker 4: you're when you're super heightened, everybody's talking the same language.
Speaker 4: We get in the huddles like okay, it's thirty six Okay,
Speaker 4: you remember thirty seven percent of the time they're doing
Speaker 4: this right, or whenever we come out of living personnel,
Speaker 4: they're doing this right.
Speaker 2: Keep an eye out for this.
Speaker 4: And you get to the line of scrimmage, you look
Speaker 4: at what they're doing, You look at your teammates, you're like, okay, yeah,
Speaker 4: got it. Boom right, we're on the same page. Because
Speaker 4: we've we've already reviewed this so much. We've looked at
Speaker 4: the analytics, we've looked at the film. We know their
Speaker 4: tendencies and you know that you're gonna get kind of
Speaker 4: a curveball here and there just in the beginning of
Speaker 4: the game, but by the second quarter, we were all
Speaker 4: settling in. This is the time of the year now,
Speaker 4: we're settling in to who you are. That's what you are.
Speaker 3: And that's kind of what Mia McCarthy's always talked about
Speaker 3: the first month of the season is a lot of feeling. Yep,
Speaker 3: it's a lot of ebbs and a lot of flows
Speaker 3: of who you are identity wise as a team.
Speaker 2: He's talked about that not only.
Speaker 3: In the past, but especially this year being the case
Speaker 3: with some of these injuries up front and you're still
Speaker 3: trying to feel it out. I mean, San Francisco is
Speaker 3: one of two teams that are undefeated right now, and
Speaker 3: the two teams that are undefeated right now is are
Speaker 3: the teams that you're trying to catch. That's San Francisco
Speaker 3: in Philadelphia. Those are the only two teams in the
Speaker 3: NFL that have a four to zero record. Everyone else
Speaker 3: has a loss, so do the cowboys. But with that
Speaker 3: being said, I mean, you have a chance not only
Speaker 3: to find that ebb and flow and settle that down
Speaker 3: this week, but you have a chance for that benchmark
Speaker 3: of say, here's how we stand up to the teams
Speaker 3: we're trying to catch.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I think for the most part, for the
Speaker 4: guys who have been here and the guys who have
Speaker 4: faced the forty nine ers in the past, you just
Speaker 4: pay back.
Speaker 2: Is absolutely is revenge. It's absolutely so. There's no way
Speaker 2: to suppress that. No. No, you want to hit him
Speaker 2: in the mouth, you want to hit him in a mic.
Speaker 4: And that's why I said, you want to get as
Speaker 4: healthy as you can, as fast as you can. Michael
Speaker 4: Parson is limping around a little bit yesterday. He should
Speaker 4: be in treatment all day long, Zach Martin, Get him
Speaker 4: in treatment all day long.
Speaker 2: Tyler, be autist. Go sitting a dog on cool tub.
Speaker 2: Get the hamstring ready to rock and roll, Tyler.
Speaker 4: You know, Tyron, Tyron, figure it out right. I don't
Speaker 4: care if you need to go get in a hyperbaric chamber.
Speaker 4: Do whatever you want, Tyron, Go find a hyperbaric chamber. Okay,
Speaker 4: drink water, eat all that stuff.
Speaker 2: Get healthy.
Speaker 4: The boys need you this week, my dog, You're be
Speaker 4: doing a good job, but this is going to be
Speaker 4: a grown man's game upstair in the trenches, right, So
Speaker 4: you need all your dogs. You need all your dogs.
Speaker 4: So do what you can to prepare yourself and get
Speaker 4: locked in. This gonna be a heck of a matchup.
Speaker 2: Can't wait. Yeah.
Speaker 5: Speaking of Dak Prescott and his press conference after the
Speaker 5: game yesterday, the very last question he was asked was
Speaker 5: what was the feeling, you know, walking out of San
Speaker 5: Francisco last week or last year with that lost in January?
Speaker 5: And he just kind of paused for a second and
Speaker 5: looked at the reporter and he was like, it's obvious
Speaker 5: you just want to piss me off going into this week.
Speaker 5: And I appreciate that. I do, Actually I do. I
Speaker 5: appreciate that. I appreciate that.
Speaker 6: So he's locked it, yeah, and then he walked away
Speaker 6: from from the podium. That was that was it for him.
Speaker 5: I don't even know if that was supposed to be
Speaker 5: the last question, but he walked away after that, and
Speaker 5: that was that was it. A lot of players ra
Speaker 5: asked yesterday when is the focus shift to San Francisco?
Speaker 5: The only person that didn't say immediately was Deron Bland,
Speaker 5: because he was like, I want to celebrate this.
Speaker 6: I'm not. I'm not looking at San Francisco No Tuesday.
Speaker 5: But everyone else is like, yeah, you know, it's it's start,
Speaker 5: it's now, the week is here. It's not too early,
Speaker 5: because it is, it's now. So Michael Parson's especially, he's really,
Speaker 5: he's really amped up for this one. It's gonna be
Speaker 5: it's gonna be fun, man, It's gonna be a lot.
Speaker 2: Of fun Sunday Night Football.
Speaker 3: This is the one that you've had, You've had circled
Speaker 3: for quite some time.
Speaker 2: As soon as that schedule came out. This was the
Speaker 2: first one you said.
Speaker 5: Yep, I think this was the first game that came
Speaker 5: out on the schedule right, like they probably were like
Speaker 5: it was a it was a promo game that they
Speaker 5: had done before the schedule release.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I turned on my TV last night just to go
Speaker 3: back and watch the game. I usually watched the game
Speaker 3: broadcast back when I get home, and I turned it
Speaker 3: on last night, and ever, the first thing that popped
Speaker 3: up on my TV it was a promo of Cowboys
Speaker 3: forty nine Ers Sunday Night Football.
Speaker 2: And Man yes, sir, hopping on this quick.
Speaker 4: Osce mccarthys's work cut out for him this week. In
Speaker 4: terms of managing emotions, we'll talk about that a little bit.
Speaker 2: I like that.
Speaker 3: I like that as a conversation. We do have to
Speaker 3: get the smelly stickers. Nick will let you start things off.
Speaker 3: You were in the stadium at at and T who's
Speaker 3: stopped out?
Speaker 5: I figure a certain defensive player. We'll probably get mentioned
Speaker 5: here by somebody, So I'm going to take an offensive player, right.
Speaker 5: And I was looking at this pineapple during the break,
Speaker 5: and it's a pineapple that looks like it's sitting on
Speaker 5: a stack of books.
Speaker 6: And what do books do?
Speaker 2: They teach?
Speaker 6: They teach they make you smart.
Speaker 5: And I think somebody who had a very smart day
Speaker 5: yesterday and played very efficiently was mister twenty eight for
Speaker 5: thirty four Dak Prescott.
Speaker 2: Ooh took Sandbaggan? What you what? I like that? You
Speaker 2: wanna go next?
Speaker 4: Well, since he took young Dak, I know where you're
Speaker 4: going on the defense side of the ball. Why.
Speaker 2: I need to look at some fruit here, buddy, Okay, yeah,
Speaker 2: find some fruit.
Speaker 3: There's some peaches that's just like grape scented stuff.
Speaker 5: I got it, strawberries, most amazing over here, I got it.
Speaker 4: Boom see that beamer, m see that right there is
Speaker 4: a very happy what is that a peach?
Speaker 2: Yeah it's a peach.
Speaker 4: Yeah, very happy peach has has the love in his eyes.
Speaker 4: This right here goes to mister Jake Ferguson. Oh, mister
Speaker 4: Jake Ferguson, seven for seven for seventy seven hot hand
Speaker 4: in a dice game, babe, leading the NFL in rezone receptions.
Speaker 2: He is the man.
Speaker 4: He is becoming Dak's tried and true, trustworthy guy, and
Speaker 4: he's becoming a very dependable resource in the run game
Speaker 4: and obviously in a pass game.
Speaker 2: For this team, they need a tight end to be
Speaker 2: tried and true. They have one. Shout out the old Fergie.
Speaker 2: So the hearts in the eyes of the peach there is.
Speaker 2: That's that's how he looks at Oh, that's how he
Speaker 2: looks at Dak. Absolutely interesting. Okay, so that's Jake Ferguson
Speaker 2: looking at Dak Prescott. There you go.
Speaker 3: There's the sticker right there on our cowboys helmet full
Speaker 3: of smelly stickers.
Speaker 2: Of course we'll get we'll get John tomorrow.
Speaker 3: But you can also send in your smelly sticker picks
Speaker 3: by texting the text line.
Speaker 2: I don't have the text line number in front.
Speaker 3: Of me, but if you have the text line number,
Speaker 3: send in your smelly sticker vote.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give mine. With these these grapes. You see
Speaker 2: these grapes right here? What do you do with grapes?
Speaker 2: You pick them? Right that? That was incredible.
Speaker 6: Audio Isaiah stand back, ASMR, No.
Speaker 2: It was, it really was. You picked grapes. You know
Speaker 2: who had a couple of picks last night. Bang.
Speaker 3: You gotta give it to him. He was by far
Speaker 3: the player of the game. And I think all three
Speaker 3: of us could have given our smelly sticker to Dubron
Speaker 3: planned and it still probably wouldn't have been enough, because
Speaker 3: not only is he stepping in into a massive, massive
Speaker 3: role change, going from the inside to the outside and
Speaker 3: playing on the boundary, but he has stepped in and.
Speaker 2: Made plays significantly.
Speaker 3: Two pick six's already this year, three interceptions eight since
Speaker 3: he entered the league as a fifth round pick out
Speaker 3: of Presno State. Speaking of picks, I mean, talk about
Speaker 3: the value pick of the twenty twenty two draft. It
Speaker 3: might be Deron Bland all the way across the board,
Speaker 3: so credit to the front office, credit to him stepping
Speaker 3: up and continuing to do big things on that defense.
Speaker 3: But that's gonna do it for us here on Talking Cowboys,
Speaker 3: Happy Victory Monday, Cowboys Nation, enjoy this one for a
Speaker 3: little bit, but we're about to turn the attention to
