Speaker 5: decisions based upon people's bad personal decisions.
Speaker 6: I really don't know anything about her personal life. I
Speaker 6: really don't number I was in the nineties.
Speaker 5: Shot your your number one?
Speaker 6: Yeah, it is, it is. That's what I grew up on.
Speaker 6: That's that's just where that's where my heart resides.

Speaker 5: Kelly, Oh, okay, that's why I take personal life out
Speaker 5: of it. Used to goat hands down, not even a competition.
Speaker 3: Okay, well, let's let's keep on rolling.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Well, the Cowboys play the Patriots this week, uh three
Speaker 3: twenty five kickoff.
Speaker 5: They will not be debating R and B.
Speaker 6: Stars, And Dak said he has pissed off. He's mad.
Speaker 6: He said, start off the news and notes.
Speaker 5: Wow?
Speaker 6: Can I start the news and notes with that?
Speaker 5: Of course? Yeah, let's go.
Speaker 2: He's furious especially, Yeah, let's do it.
Speaker 6: But yeah, we talked to Dak Prescott yesterday and we said,
Speaker 6: you know, when you have a performance like that, how
Speaker 6: do you how are you able to rebound? How are
Speaker 6: you able to come back off of that? They're nine
Speaker 6: and one in their last ten games coming off of
Speaker 6: a loss, and he said, we have to feel that
Speaker 6: pissed offness, which, uh, afterwards, the writers they got together
Speaker 6: were like, how do we write that word? And we
Speaker 6: had to consult with the AP style on that. But yeah,
Speaker 6: there's definitely a fire with a lot of guys on
Speaker 6: this team. You can look at Dak Prescott, you can
Speaker 6: look at jay Ron. Curse jay Ron. He took a
Speaker 6: lot of self accountability in the In the game on
Speaker 6: Sunday against Arizona, he said, I did not play well.
Speaker 6: I did not play up to my standard. This defense
Speaker 6: to not play up to our standard, we have to
Speaker 6: come back and bounce back from it. So, uh, I
Speaker 6: think there's a really good opportunity to do that here.
Speaker 6: Who they're angry with themselves themselves?
Speaker 5: Yep? Are you okay with that answer?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 5: I was just making sure it wasn't Is that the
Speaker 5: answer somewhere else? That's all? Where would they even point it?
Speaker 5: I don't know. I mean, that's not what I mean.
Speaker 5: You'd be angry for a lot of reasons. I didn't
Speaker 5: want to make sure that they looked internally to get angry.
Speaker 3: Yeah, based off of the feeling in the locker room.
Speaker 3: It didn't feel like we talked about this yesterday a
Speaker 3: little bit, but it didn't feel like they were They
Speaker 3: were angry, but it feels like they're refocused. Which I
Speaker 3: don't want to call it a wake up call, because
Speaker 3: who needs a wake up call three weeks into a
Speaker 3: season where you have as high of expectations as you
Speaker 3: have for this football team. But it feels like that,
Speaker 3: at least this early in the going, because yeah.
Speaker 5: This team does not expect that to be the case.
Speaker 3: I mean, you go back to Jerry Jones's one oh
Speaker 3: five three the fan hit this week, and he even
Speaker 3: talked about it. He's like, we can play better, we
Speaker 3: can do better, he said. He was asked if he
Speaker 3: was happy with the offensive scheme, he said, I'm not
Speaker 3: happy yet. I can be, and there's a long way
Speaker 3: to go until we get there, but I'm not happy
Speaker 3: to this point of what it's looked like upfront, and
Speaker 3: there's a lot of change to be made. And I
Speaker 3: think whether or not it's his fault in the first place,
Speaker 3: it does start with Dak Prescott and he's the one
Speaker 3: that sets the tone. So if he's saying he's upset,
Speaker 3: this entire locker room. This entire offense is upset of
Speaker 3: it at the way they've played.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's almost immediately what Dak had said yesterday, talking
Speaker 6: about just getting back to their own standard and getting
Speaker 6: back to what they've they've been able to do efficiently,
Speaker 6: whether that be getting down the field, not necessarily the
Speaker 6: red zone, but getting down the field. There's a lot
Speaker 6: of good things that they could take away from that.
Speaker 6: Just get back to what works for them, and I
Speaker 6: think eventually it'll come back around. I think we see
Speaker 6: it on Sunday injury news, good news and kind of
Speaker 6: not good news.
Speaker 5: I guess Isaiah, Well.
Speaker 6: They go hand in hand. They go hand in hand.
Speaker 6: There's really in no way of getting around it. Two
Speaker 6: of the three offensive linemen returned to practice yesterday on
Speaker 6: a limited basis, Tyler Biadish with his hamstring injury, Zach
Speaker 6: Martin with his ankle injury. They were both back on
Speaker 6: the practice field on a limited basis. We saw both
Speaker 6: of them going through individual drills during the media portion
Speaker 6: of practice yesterday, while Tyron Smith was nowhere to be seen.
Speaker 6: He is still did not practice listing as of yesterday
Speaker 6: on Thursday with his knee injury, but really really really
Speaker 6: good news. It is no injuries, no new injuries on
Speaker 6: a Thursday practice, So that's a that's a really good start.
Speaker 5: Isaia. Why do you look so upset?
Speaker 3: You look like you want to just jump across the
Speaker 3: table and shut Nick Harris's laptop.
Speaker 5: I did not bring my pink drink today. Kyle Freddy's
Speaker 5: bubble guts that he just gave. Ah, but they're limited.
Speaker 5: They're anything is limited.
Speaker 6: Really quick. One more note, Mike McCarthy said on the
Speaker 6: fan this morning again shout out to John My showed
Speaker 6: up for the great tweeting.
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 6: He said that Zach Martin and Tyler Biadish are quote
Speaker 6: definitely making a lot of progress.
Speaker 2: So is that ease it a little bit?
Speaker 5: Nope? Why nope? I mean progress and and production are
Speaker 5: two different things. So you know, I'm super black and white.
Speaker 5: You guys know that. But I do believe that Zach
Speaker 5: Martin probably has a high probability of making it to
Speaker 5: this game. I don't feel the same way about Tyler.
Speaker 5: Be honest. Now, I don't have a clue as to
Speaker 5: the severity of his hamstring injury, so this is just
Speaker 5: simply opinion based, But I don't have any sense of
Speaker 5: confidence or any reason to have confidence that he's going
Speaker 5: to play in this game. Now he hasn't. He hasn't
Speaker 5: physically put hands on somebody in.
Speaker 3: Two weeks, and that you saw the roster moves yesterday
Speaker 3: as well as Evan Harper released, creates a roster spot
Speaker 3: that present presents an opportunity to elevate brock Hoffmann. Because
Speaker 3: they've already elevated him three times to the active roster.
Speaker 3: He is out of practice squad elevation, so you have
Speaker 3: to if you're going to keep him without going on waivers,
Speaker 3: you would have to elevate him to the active roster
Speaker 3: in an active roster spot.
Speaker 5: Do you anticipate that being the case.
Speaker 6: That's a good point. Maybe there's a there's a few
Speaker 6: there's there's some different things that they can do with
Speaker 6: that open roster spot, but as far as going into
Speaker 6: Sunday before Sunday, that seems to be one of the
Speaker 6: only options. They have three guys that can play center
Speaker 6: on the practice squad brock Hoffman, Sean Harlowe and then
Speaker 6: Billy Price that was brought in literally this week. Obviously
Speaker 6: would feel the best about Hoffman just because he had
Speaker 6: a strong game in Arizona. Dak Prescott really liked the
Speaker 6: way he came in and handled that opportunity, so I
Speaker 6: would have to think that he would get that spot.
Speaker 6: But you also have two guys coming off of eligible
Speaker 6: to come off the IR on Monday, and Nasehawn Wright
Speaker 6: and Matt Will let's go, And they're gonna have to
Speaker 6: make room for both of those guys, So a little
Speaker 6: bit of a moving around that they're gonna have to
Speaker 6: do regardless.
Speaker 5: If they're ready.
Speaker 3: If both right, they're ready, well let's go, all ready
Speaker 3: to come off of the IR. Also, I mean, with
Speaker 3: the release of Devin Harper, you have not one, but
Speaker 3: two linebackers on this roster. Three if you want to
Speaker 3: count Mike Caparsons. But the show knows as much as
Speaker 3: anybody that you should not count Mike cal.
Speaker 5: Parsons in that list.
Speaker 6: And we're not counting Marku's bell.
Speaker 3: Now to Layton vander h and Dimone Clark are your
Speaker 3: only two linebackers on the entire active roster.
Speaker 6: Now that gives me bubble cuts?
Speaker 5: Does it?
Speaker 2: Really?
Speaker 6: It does?
Speaker 5: That doesn't give me?
Speaker 6: It gives Yeah, it does, because one injury in your
Speaker 6: you're cooked.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, but there's Malik Jefferson on practice squad.
Speaker 5: I mean, you have guys that you could elevate up.
Speaker 3: Right, He's banged, he's been banged up, he's out of practice,
Speaker 3: he's been practicing on the press.
Speaker 5: I like Malik. I've been liking Milik for the last
Speaker 5: few years, so I have a bot of confidence in him.
Speaker 5: Should they need to move him up, elevate him for
Speaker 5: the game, I feel fully confident that he could fulfill
Speaker 5: any role now in terms of what they choose to
Speaker 5: do on game day. If there happened to be an
Speaker 5: injury on actual game day, then yes. You know, you're
Speaker 5: used to having three real linebackers and they're with Devin Harper.
Speaker 5: But now that he's vacant, now you're carrying only two
Speaker 5: as of today, unless they do something different on Sunday.
Speaker 5: But obviously, with Marky's Bell being able to come down
Speaker 5: into the box, you have that option. As you start
Speaker 5: talking about this style of offense, No, that doesn't make
Speaker 5: me feel too confident the Testyle offense that you're about
Speaker 5: to face, because this is going to be bullyball physical. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3: If you're looking at this depth chart, and I mean,
Speaker 3: for the most part, the initial thought is a blinking
Speaker 3: red light to go and add one of the practice
Speaker 3: squad offensive linemen or one of the guys off of
Speaker 3: IR to that active roster spot. What would you do, Nick,
Speaker 3: when you're looking at it. Would you add a Malik
Speaker 3: Jefferson should he be game ready and ready to go?
Speaker 3: Or would you go and elevate brock Kaffman and just
Speaker 3: go ahead and lock him in at that center spot.
Speaker 5: Depending on what happens.
Speaker 6: Going into Sunday, I would go ahead and elevate Malik
Speaker 6: Jefferson off of the practice squad, not giving him the
Speaker 6: roster spot. He's not a fifty three spot practice squad elevation.
Speaker 6: As for that open roster spot, the thing is, if
Speaker 6: you give it to brock Kaufman, right, and he plays
Speaker 6: on Sunday and he's on the active roster and you
Speaker 6: have two guys that you need to put on the
Speaker 6: roster on Monday, then that kind of forces their hand
Speaker 6: on brock Kaffman to subject him to waivers and then
Speaker 6: try to bring him back to practice squad, which I
Speaker 6: think that could get sticky. And then he's already shown
Speaker 6: good film in two games by that point, so I
Speaker 6: don't know, it's difficult. They have a plan in mind, obviously,
Speaker 6: or they wouldn't have waived Devin Harper yesterday. So I
Speaker 6: assume that they have a plan going into Sunday for it.
Speaker 6: But I think that's the only option if I'm thinking
Speaker 6: in my head, So I can't think of any other one.
Speaker 3: Active roster spot to brock Hoffman and then elevate Malik Jefferson.
Speaker 5: Would you do the same, Yes, yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we'll probably elevate somebody else who could help them
Speaker 6: on the defense and the offensive line as well.
Speaker 3: I was about to say, probably another offensive lineman, right,
Speaker 3: you would have to. They did last week they elevated
Speaker 3: two guys. Plus if you elevate an offensive lineman, you
Speaker 3: get that extra spot also that you can protect. So
Speaker 3: I think Hoffman has to come up this game just
Speaker 3: because he's the one that it has had the rep.
Speaker 5: It's a have to like this is up my opinion
Speaker 5: of the game. People, all right, but he has to elevate.
Speaker 5: Being from a quarterback perspective, you cannot be playing musical
Speaker 5: chairs at the quarter at the center position. You need
Speaker 5: that chemistry. It's a necessity. It's like wearing wearing jeans
Speaker 5: that are two inches two big around your waist without
Speaker 5: a belt, like you like you can't, like you're gonna
Speaker 5: be sit up there trying to you don't feel safe.
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying, You don't feel safe. You
Speaker 5: have to you gotta have them. You have to have
Speaker 5: them because timing is everything, communications everything, Cadence is everything.
Speaker 5: How how high he snaps the ball, where he's all
Speaker 5: those things matter, angles matter, There's so much that comes
Speaker 5: into it. And when you don't have that chemistry, when
Speaker 5: you don't have that symmetry, then all of a sudden
Speaker 5: things get out of whack, and they get out of
Speaker 5: whack in a real bad way. Whether Dak's getting his
Speaker 5: footstepped on. We've seen a couple reps in that in camp. Right,
Speaker 5: you change the center, all of a sudden he's getting
Speaker 5: stepped on. All of a sudden he can't get to
Speaker 5: their running back. Now you're trying to reach. Now you're
Speaker 5: starting fumble on the ball like stuff just happens is
Speaker 5: just snowball. When things are out of whack at that position,
Speaker 5: you have to have your center. So if you don't
Speaker 5: have beatist, you're going with your plan B, and there
Speaker 5: is no plan C, D, and E there just is it.
Speaker 3: I was having a conversation earlier this week with a
Speaker 3: friend of mine about that exchange, the center to quarterback exchange,
Speaker 3: and it is one of the most underrated logistical pieces
Speaker 3: of the entire game of football, because look at it
Speaker 3: all the way across the board, and I'm interested to
Speaker 3: see your thought process on this. Think of the cohesion
Speaker 3: that is needed across the board in the game of football.
Speaker 3: You're talking about communication defensively, passing off at the offensive
Speaker 3: line spot, talking about timing between quarterbacks and wide receivers,
Speaker 3: all of these connections that you have to have to
Speaker 3: each other because it is the ultimate team game. So
Speaker 3: it's like a spider web, it's all connected together. But
Speaker 3: where would you rank out of all those connections, How
Speaker 3: important and how imperative it is to be on the
Speaker 3: same page between quarterback and center.
Speaker 5: Oh, I think it's of the upmost important. It would
Speaker 5: be probably one or two. On the legs. I touched
Speaker 5: the ball every play. Two people on this roster touch
Speaker 5: the ball every single offensive snap. Your center and your quarterback.
Speaker 5: Ye unless there's a direct snap to a running back, okay,
Speaker 5: but for the most part, your center and your quarterback
Speaker 5: you talk about the fact that these guys a run shotgun. Okay,
Speaker 5: so snap and word of how fast the ball's coming out, right,
Speaker 5: The velocity of the timing of that from Dak saying hey,
Speaker 5: I want the ball to the time he snaps it,
Speaker 5: to the time the ball gets to his hands, Like,
Speaker 5: there's a timing element there, right. If that's off a
Speaker 5: tenth or two tenths of a second, that throws off Dak,
Speaker 5: right because he's already in this drop as the ball's coming. Like,
Speaker 5: there's a lot of things like that that you're calibrated for,
Speaker 5: and if you just change that calibration a little bit,
Speaker 5: it throws things out of whack. I could go back
Speaker 5: to my two times when I was under center. If
Speaker 5: I'm I'm used to coming from underneath center at a
Speaker 5: certain time, right as I'm saying snap, hut, whatever it
Speaker 5: is that he's saying, as I'm backing out, there's a
Speaker 5: timing element to that, right, I know how far I'm
Speaker 5: coming out with my hands as I'm coming from underneath
Speaker 5: his butt. So if you bring somebody else in and
Speaker 5: he's delayed even a little bit, right now, all of
Speaker 5: a sudden, I'm backing out and the ball hasn't been snapped,
Speaker 5: so now when the ball comes up, it's hitting my
Speaker 5: fingertips instead of hitting the base of my hand. Right.
Speaker 5: So like little things like that, those little minute changes,
Speaker 5: you can't play around with those. It throws off absolutely.
Speaker 3: Everything when you think about it too, from a backup
Speaker 3: quarterback standpoint.
Speaker 2: That's why these quarterbacks.
Speaker 3: It happens that way because the cadence is just slightly
Speaker 3: different from the center that would be the starting center
Speaker 3: in this case.
Speaker 5: Like things like that, right here we go, yeah.
Speaker 3: And you're you're you're trying to mimic that that same
Speaker 3: cadences not the starting.
Speaker 5: Quarterback, but it's never going to be the same. It
Speaker 5: never will be.
Speaker 3: It's really interesting and keeping the conversation on the offensive line.
Speaker 3: I had a conversation with both Tyler Smith and Chrumdoga
Speaker 3: yesterday uh in the locker room, and both guys said
Speaker 3: that if they're the starters up front, there's no Tyler
Speaker 3: Smith or Tyrone Smith at the left tackle spot, it
Speaker 3: will look the same this week. It will be the
Speaker 3: same starting left side of that offensive line. Because chru
Speaker 3: Modoka has taken every snap this week that he's taken
Speaker 3: has been at left tackle, and every snap that Tyler
Speaker 3: Smith has taken this this week.
Speaker 5: Has been at left guard.
Speaker 3: Do you feel comfortable with that setup in the way
Speaker 3: that it looked on Sunday.
Speaker 6: I love the journalistic reporting, Kyle, because that's something that's
Speaker 6: been very interesting for me as well. But I don't
Speaker 6: necessarily believe it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 2: Don't think so.
Speaker 5: You think it could be switched.
Speaker 6: I think it definitely could be.
Speaker 5: Could be.
Speaker 6: I think it definitely could be, just for the fact
Speaker 6: that cho Me Doga looked really good and his guard
Speaker 6: opportunity against that was the Giants, and then obviously we've
Speaker 6: seen what Tyler Smith can do a left tackle. When
Speaker 6: you have a guy like Matthew Judon, who would you
Speaker 6: rather have going up against him? And I would I
Speaker 6: would say Tyler Smith the strength wise, But let's let's
Speaker 6: let's let's put it. Let's put it in the equation
Speaker 6: that was told to you to me, Doga at left
Speaker 6: tackle and Tyler Smith at left guard. I wouldn't feel
Speaker 6: great about it. I wouldn't feel great about it just because,
Speaker 6: again Judon, as we as you mentioned yesterday quite a bit,
Speaker 6: I don't think Chimidoga can handle him off the edge.
Speaker 6: I've always said on this show that I really like
Speaker 6: Youdoga much more on the interior. And uh, I think
Speaker 6: Tyler Smith has as much talent at tackle as he
Speaker 6: doesn't guard like He's a true versatile offensive lineman that
Speaker 6: can play either to the same level and to the
Speaker 6: same effect. I'd rather have his strength and athleticism out
Speaker 6: there on the I.
Speaker 5: Look at it from this perspective. I think both points
Speaker 5: are valid. I truly believe if Tyler Smith is at
Speaker 5: left tackle, Tyron Smith is done for the year. I
Speaker 5: think that would be the indication that he's done. Why
Speaker 5: because why would you mess around with Tyler Smith bumping back.
Speaker 6: Out to tackle, because he's the best magic not you.
Speaker 5: You can't keep interchanging linemen and their responsibility. They really
Speaker 5: didn't like the fact that they did it last year.
Speaker 5: They didn't like it last year. So if you see
Speaker 5: my opinion, if you see Tyler Smith have left tackle,
Speaker 5: that's bad. That's a bad sign for Tyron Smith.
Speaker 6: Okay, I can see that.
Speaker 5: That's what you're saying that because then now you forced
Speaker 5: him back, You forced Tyler Smith into his forever role.
Speaker 5: Last year, he was fulfilling a gap, right, I'm playing guard,
Speaker 5: on playing tackle when he's heard on putting the future,
Speaker 5: he's a left tackle the future. So I think I
Speaker 5: think if you see him at left tackle this game,
Speaker 5: they're not gonna keep doing this yoyol thing with him again.
Speaker 5: That's gonna that's gonna be your left tack goal. Now
Speaker 5: it's over here for the foreseeable future.
Speaker 3: You take a bathroom break, yeah, I mean, I mean,
Speaker 3: and you so you think about that, and you think
Speaker 3: about the look that Tyrn Smith had on his face
Speaker 3: on the sideline, Yeah, I mean, it wasn't good. He
Speaker 3: was still padded up. The one thing that I that
Speaker 3: that I think if you're looking at context clues like
Speaker 3: you're doing right now, which I really do appreciate, but
Speaker 3: you take it to what it is now. And you said,
Speaker 3: he's nowhere to be seen. We haven't seen him on
Speaker 3: the practice field, but m on the bed. He was
Speaker 3: in pads, but he hasn't been on the field. He
Speaker 3: hasn't been on the band.
Speaker 5: How do you go from paths to not be in
Speaker 5: that practice all week. That's that's the concern. That's where
Speaker 5: that's where I have a concern.
Speaker 6: I think that was more so they had to have
Speaker 6: an active offensive lineman. That's a requirement, and he was
Speaker 6: the one that had the best chance of playing on Sunday,
Speaker 6: probably just because his injury was fresher and had an opportunity.
Speaker 6: I think that's why he had. I fully believe that
Speaker 6: he was. He was ruled out before the sun even
Speaker 6: rose on Sunday.
Speaker 3: He didn't would have happened up front? Would have Would
Speaker 3: Tyler Smith have gone in? Or would Luke schoon.
Speaker 5: Maker have gone in? At the tackle spots? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 5: is what I mean.
Speaker 6: That's actually a really fun game. Who would have been?
Speaker 6: You would have thrown Here's what you would have done.
Speaker 6: You would have thrown left.
Speaker 5: Left out there, give me the long arms man.
Speaker 6: You would have put too many dog Let's go too
Speaker 6: many dog got left tackle, brock Hoffman at left guard
Speaker 6: and Trent Sick at center.
Speaker 5: Let's see Sig.
Speaker 3: I like you, little deep snapper. Love on talking Cowboys today. Uh,
Speaker 3: I mean playing and simple. It's it's not pretty on
Speaker 3: the offensive line right now, and they're going up.
Speaker 5: Against a really good front.
Speaker 3: I hear in that same conversation with Chumdoga, I asked
Speaker 3: him because he played with the Jets previously, and I said,
Speaker 3: did you ever have any battles with Matthew Judon And
Speaker 3: he said, actually he was never healthy when we played.
Speaker 5: For some reason. He's like, I never got to go
Speaker 5: up against him. We played.
Speaker 3: I played against the Patriots quite often, but never got
Speaker 3: a chance to see Judeon.
Speaker 5: And in the back of my hand head, I was like, oh, man,
Speaker 5: no rough draft. Yeah no, he's going straight into it.
Speaker 3: So uh, definitely something to keep an eye on to act.
Speaker 3: No study and no study guide going in. All right,
Speaker 3: when we come back, we've got a new segment. This
Speaker 3: is gonna be Nick's picks. We've got the best look
Speaker 3: of matchups across the board. Some players to watch matchups
Speaker 3: along the way when we come back with more talking cowboys.

Speaker 5: It's gotta be my MJ. Yeah, it's gotta be my
Speaker 5: that's not even conversation.
Speaker 2: I mean I would throw Elvis up there too, just because.
Speaker 5: This concert that man was.
Speaker 6: I'm not gonna say that. Yeah, probably he's very old.
Speaker 5: Let me say that.
Speaker 3: Oh I know who like you talk about the way
Speaker 3: that he like he translated the time period?
Speaker 5: I mean he copied Michael Jackson.
Speaker 3: What what does your timeline look like?
Speaker 6: Agreed?
Speaker 3: All right, Nick, we are starting this on Fridays. We
Speaker 3: always do our players to watch. We'll do that here
Speaker 3: in a couple of seconds, and then of course they
Speaker 3: pick them in the third segment.
Speaker 5: But I want you to give me some matchups.
Speaker 3: These are not necessarily the number one stars studded matchups
Speaker 3: on the board, but certainly ones that could give a
Speaker 3: win to either team On Sunday between the Cowboys and
Speaker 3: the Patriots.
Speaker 6: Well, so I do an article every Friday on dallascowboys
Speaker 6: dot com. So pop in, check a boy out. It's
Speaker 6: just called key matchups. It's literally the name of the
Speaker 6: segment here key matchup.
Speaker 5: Key, like the emoji key.
Speaker 6: It could be if you want it to be on
Speaker 6: the actual sites. It's like kate e y, but it's
Speaker 6: like the guy friend of the matrix with the keys.
Speaker 6: You know, I've never seen the matrix. I'm not crazy.
Speaker 6: There's a lot of most it's unfortunate anyway, first matchup
Speaker 6: that I am definitely going to be looking at on
Speaker 6: Sunday afternoon. Trent Brown, left tackle for the New England Patriots,
Speaker 6: has started the season off really strong. He is a
Speaker 6: former seventh round draft pick, got to pay raise this
Speaker 6: offseason and is looking to kind of extend his stay
Speaker 6: with New England and has done a really good job
Speaker 6: of making his case for it so far. Really good job.
Speaker 6: Only allowed one pressure in one sack. He's gonna be
Speaker 6: drawing the task of Michael Parsons, So trying to keep
Speaker 6: that one total pressure, one total sack on the board,
Speaker 6: that's gonna be a difficult opportunity. I I think Mica
Speaker 6: definitely has an opportunity to get back to the quarterback
Speaker 6: and extend his sack streak to four games. But also
Speaker 6: Trent Brown, he's been one of the better tackles in
Speaker 6: the league to start season.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I think when you look at some of the tackles
Speaker 3: that Dallas is faced, it's not really great. I mean,
Speaker 3: McKay beck Den was not good seventy seven for the Jets.
Speaker 3: He was not good in that matchup.
Speaker 13: He was terrible.
Speaker 5: The Cardinals offensive line.
Speaker 3: Not solid, and then we saw what happened to the
Speaker 3: Giants as a whole, and Dallas defensive line dismantled the
Speaker 3: Giants offensive line.
Speaker 2: Do you expect something similar in this matchup?
Speaker 6: Just I don't think it'll be dismantling.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I think each will have their wins. I think it's
Speaker 6: going to be a pretty solid matchup. But Micah has
Speaker 6: the upper hand here. It's the athleticism that he has
Speaker 6: around the edge. I think that's the big advantage that
Speaker 6: he has over Trent Brown. Trent Brown definitely has these long,
Speaker 6: extended arms, so that could make life difficult for Micah.
Speaker 6: But again, there's a little bit of a dog factor
Speaker 6: that's going to come in with this defense, and that
Speaker 6: starts with number eleven.
Speaker 5: Question for you, if you had to pick us side
Speaker 5: for Mike and or rush from which one are you choosing?
Speaker 6: Where he's been coming off off? Yeah, off the left,
Speaker 6: off the blind side. But if they're going up against Miami,
Speaker 6: I would love to see him come off the right side.
Speaker 6: When two is a left handed quarterback, I don't want
Speaker 6: the quarterback to see Michael Parson's coming because that's when
Speaker 6: you get the strip sacks involved. That's when you get
Speaker 6: these really athletic throwdowns and big sacks. As far as
Speaker 6: the yardage, I like him coming off the blind side.
Speaker 2: What would you like over the center? Oh you want
Speaker 2: to just straight up?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 6: Oh that's what you're saying. I thought you meant like
Speaker 6: which side?
Speaker 5: No, he was question? Yeah, yeah, answer you That one,
Speaker 5: honestly is whatever whichever is the lesser tackle. So I
Speaker 5: know you're highlighting the matchup against against Trent Brown, which
Speaker 5: obviously is going to be a good challenge for both
Speaker 5: I believe, but I would if you don't have to.
Speaker 6: I think it's different though, when you have DeMarcus Lawrence
Speaker 6: on the other side, it's you have that safety net
Speaker 6: on the other side. You don't really have to worry
Speaker 6: about it. And so I would like those guys to
Speaker 6: hone in. Let's say DeMarcus Lawrence isn't on this team,
Speaker 6: then maybe you throw that run on that by the way, Yeah,
Speaker 6: oh that's good to know. Yeah, that's the tease for everybody. Yeah,
Speaker 6: but yeah, I do like when they whenever they've thrown
Speaker 6: him over center and given that look. But typically when
Speaker 6: they show that look, Layton vander ash is coming off
Speaker 6: the edge and there has not been a lot of
Speaker 6: success there, and so if they can.
Speaker 5: But you were so excited about that, I was.
Speaker 6: I really was so much. Yes, someone was, dan Quinn.
Speaker 6: I was very excited about that. And question yeah, yeah, Kyle, question, question, yeah,
Speaker 6: they question. Layton has not shot John. I haven't loved
Speaker 6: the off the edge look so far this season. Maybe
Speaker 6: it works eventually, but I think they've thrown it out
Speaker 6: there six times, and all six times Layton is just
Speaker 6: getting he.
Speaker 5: Doesn't really possess the quick twitch necessary for that.
Speaker 6: I like the idea, but if it's paired with Micah
Speaker 6: having to come in at zero tech, then I'm I'm like,
Speaker 6: let's abandon this. But if we can keep Layton in
Speaker 6: the second level, keep him on Clark in the second.
Speaker 5: But why would you put Dorn's Armstrong out there?
Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly, put those guys off the edge and put
Speaker 6: Micah you know, zero tech. Yeah, but that opens up
Speaker 6: a really unfortunate opportunity for them to run the ball
Speaker 6: right down Micah's throat, and I do not love that,
Speaker 6: so I'm keeping him off the edge.
Speaker 3: That kind of plays into my either or question that
Speaker 3: I was about to ask too. Would you take two
Speaker 3: sacks from Michael Parsons again another multi sack game, but
Speaker 3: Patriots rushed.
Speaker 5: For over seventy five yards? Or would you flip it?
Speaker 3: No sacks for Michael Parsons but the Patriots run for
Speaker 3: less than seventy five. I'm talking about pure aggression from Michaeh. Parsons,
Speaker 3: setting the edge, stopping the run run defense. I know
Speaker 3: they're not all directly tied together, but just as an
Speaker 3: either or, which one would you rather see?
Speaker 6: On Sunday seventy five? Is not that many though, so
Speaker 6: I would take the two sacks and seventy five yards
Speaker 6: just because that that shows that you are stopping the
Speaker 6: past game. Okay yards, okay, then.
Speaker 5: Okay, let's we'll tack on twenty five more. How many
Speaker 5: yards are the New England Patriots going to rush for?
Speaker 6: I think they'll go triple digits.
Speaker 5: You think so easy, like just one hundred. Well, are
Speaker 5: we doing like one fifty, because that's different. I'm doing
Speaker 5: one to fifty.
Speaker 6: Oh, I don't. I don't think it's gonna be that much.
Speaker 6: You got you have to think here. Through three games
Speaker 6: so far, Romandre Stevenson and Zeke have combined for like
Speaker 6: roughly two fifty for through three games.
Speaker 5: So I don't think I'll back that down.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't see them running for it's gonna be
Speaker 6: close to one hundred. I think it's gonna be close
Speaker 6: to the facility of their offense. The facilitation of their
Speaker 6: offense is going to be getting the pass game going.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's not gonna happen. Well, I don't think so.
Speaker 6: I would rather have the two sacks. I'd rather have
Speaker 6: the two sacks.
Speaker 3: Even then, with one hundred yards rushing, you would rather
Speaker 3: have the two sacks.
Speaker 5: In there. Okay, it's interesting, all right, what's your second matchup?
Speaker 6: Second matchup? We're staying at the left tackle and off
Speaker 6: the left edge position, just on when the other sides
Speaker 6: are on the field. Matthew Judon and Tchuma Edoga. And
Speaker 6: uh you know, when I was coming into the show today,
Speaker 6: I had Matthew Judon versus Tyler Smith. But since Isaiah
Speaker 6: Standbeck shot me down so fast and he convinced me otherwise.
Speaker 6: Matthew Judon versus Chuma Edoga. Uh So, Matthew Judon through
Speaker 6: three games, he'll you'll see him off the left side.
Speaker 6: You'll see him off the right side. Kind of goes
Speaker 6: back to our micro conversation. You'll see him come off
Speaker 6: each side. He'll get snaps off both sides. It's about
Speaker 6: a fifty to fifty split. If there's any advantage of
Speaker 6: where he's coming off the most, it's off that left side.
Speaker 6: So I think whenever he's matching up with Chumi Ydoga,
Speaker 6: that's gonna be the one to watch. I trust Terrence
Speaker 6: Steele to at least keep him at bay. I think
Speaker 6: he's gonna have his wins for Shore. Talking about Judon,
Speaker 6: but Idoga on the other side, I think they're really
Speaker 6: going to try to go after him with Judon.
Speaker 3: Is part of why you asked the Michael Parsons question
Speaker 3: on which side you would rather un rush from come
Speaker 3: from Matthew Judah and the fact that he'll come from
Speaker 3: really eighty direction on that offensive.
Speaker 5: Judah is gonna line up wherever your week. Yeah, He's
Speaker 5: going to attack it regardless, and you like that. No,
Speaker 5: I don't like it this week.
Speaker 6: This week, No, this I do not like it. I
Speaker 6: liked it last week, but not this week.
Speaker 5: I like it this week.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I.
Speaker 3: Do think it will be Chuma Adoga at left tackle.
Speaker 3: I think Tyler Smith will be at left guard, which I.
Speaker 2: Like you said, it's both a good thing because I
Speaker 2: find out.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, if it does.
Speaker 3: End up going elsewhere, then I think you're gonna see
Speaker 3: an extended period of time missed from seventy seven. But
Speaker 3: if that's the case, that's gonna be a that's gonna
Speaker 3: be a match up matchup to watch, No doubt about
Speaker 3: a key on whether or not the Cowboys will have
Speaker 3: some success because you've got to find a way to
Speaker 3: slow those guys down because they are and it's not
Speaker 3: just Jude On.
Speaker 5: They have multiple guys up front that are strong and long,
Speaker 5: and they've got the.
Speaker 3: Lankiness on that line of scrimmage to make it happen
Speaker 3: and make.
Speaker 5: The plays happen. I agree. I agree.
Speaker 6: Third match up, Third matchup, Christian Gonzales versus the Cowboys
Speaker 6: wide receivers, and I'm just putting the Cowboys wide receiver
Speaker 6: I'm just putting the Cowboys wide receivers in a group here.
Speaker 6: We've had discussions this week, and I've had it on
Speaker 6: a couple of podcasts so far this week.
Speaker 5: Well, Christian Gonzales, Oh, I'll see you little sprinkle, that
Speaker 5: little humble brag in.
Speaker 6: There, Christian Gonzalez.
Speaker 5: You know well, I mean.
Speaker 6: He's done a cop You want to do the draft
Speaker 6: show too? Maybe maybe Christian Gonzales versus the Cowboys wide
Speaker 6: receiver group. There's been conversations on these podcasts that I've
Speaker 6: done this week that will Christian Gonzalez shadow C D Lamb.
Speaker 6: My answer is no, because I really want Christian Gonzalez
Speaker 6: to be able to hone in on that boundary. If
Speaker 6: I'm the Patriots defensive coordinator or Bill Belichick, I want
Speaker 6: him to be able to hone in on keeping the
Speaker 6: boundary firm and with that being the case, Ceedie Lamb,
Speaker 6: he's going to operate in the slot quite a bit.
Speaker 6: Will he match up with Ceede Lamb on Sunday. Absolutely.
Speaker 6: I just don't think that's going to be the majority
Speaker 6: of the reps. I think it's going to be more
Speaker 6: so Michael Gallup and Brandon Cook's sdrawing those assignments. And
Speaker 6: if those are the two guys, Christian Gonzalez has the
Speaker 6: edge on both of them with his size, his physicality
Speaker 6: off the edge or I'm sorry, on the boundary. I
Speaker 6: think that's a really difficult challenge for this receiver group.
Speaker 6: And if those two guys have to get going this week,
Speaker 6: there's no there's no way to get around it. We've
Speaker 6: talked about no receiver touchdowns. That's played right into their
Speaker 6: red zone inefficiency as well not being able to get
Speaker 6: the ball into the receiver's hands. And the only times
Speaker 6: that they have really tried to get a touchdown two
Speaker 6: receivers in the red zone, it's been jump balls and
Speaker 6: fade balls and it's not been you know, it's been snap.
Speaker 6: So I don't love Christian Gonzales if we're doing that
Speaker 6: again on Sunday, afternoon.
Speaker 5: Do you believe there's going to be more twelve personnel
Speaker 5: by Dallas or eleven twelve? I know as well, Yeah, twelve.
Speaker 6: They're going to get those tight ends on the field
Speaker 6: and try to bring in the boundary as much as possible, so.
Speaker 5: Then they were spread back out. You're not going to
Speaker 5: see CD as much in the slide as you imagine.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Well, I'm not saying that they're going to have twelve
Speaker 6: on the majority of their snaps.
Speaker 3: That's what I'm talking about, but more than, but more
Speaker 3: than the rest of the personnel groupings.
Speaker 6: Uh yeah, are you just saying more than last asked that?
Speaker 5: Because how secured you? How confident are you in this
Speaker 5: officer line without the additional help and support of additional
Speaker 5: tight ends? Yeah, not that, not that, because if we
Speaker 5: go eleven personnel, you have one tight end city in
Speaker 5: and so now you're blocking six.
Speaker 6: It depends on who you have back. If you have
Speaker 6: Beattish and Tyler Smith back, then I'm I'm okay, I'm
Speaker 6: lett I'm cool with just like figuring out if Chuma
Speaker 6: can get it done and if he can't, and if
Speaker 6: he can't, then I throw a tight end on his side.
Speaker 6: Every time, you know, but with the way the offensive
Speaker 6: line performed last week with three guys out, I would
Speaker 6: feel confident if two of them are coming back, and
Speaker 6: Chuma Ydoga, you know, we'll see what he can do
Speaker 6: a left tackle, and I'd operate in that sense, and
Speaker 6: I would let CD try to operate the best he can.
Speaker 6: I mean, we talked about it this week, Bill Belichick.
Speaker 6: His entire game plan is taking out your best weapon.
Speaker 6: And after what happened with Ceedee Lamb last time that
Speaker 6: they played, Ceede Lamb's gonna be the guy they go after.
Speaker 6: I'm fully confident in that. So however they they scheme
Speaker 6: up doing that, I think there's gonna be a lot
Speaker 6: of guys kind of drifting behind him, even behind his matchup.
Speaker 6: And I don't think it's gonna be Christian Gonzalez. I
Speaker 6: think they're gonna put two completely different guys on him
Speaker 6: at all times.
Speaker 3: When think about the guys, I mean, this is really
Speaker 3: impressive from the colony prospect in Christian Gonzalez. Look at
Speaker 3: the guys that he's faced so far Philadelphia, so AJ
Speaker 3: Brown and DeVante Smith, Miami Tyreek Kill and Jalen Wattle.
Speaker 3: Wattle was healthy in that game. He was the leading
Speaker 3: receiver for the Dolphins, and then you had the New
Speaker 3: York Jets and he faced Garrett Wilson. So he's seen
Speaker 3: some of the better receivers in the NFL. Has he
Speaker 3: seen that next level veteran? Probably it's I mean it
Speaker 3: would be Tyreek and AJ Brown guys. Well, I'm saying
Speaker 3: because there's a lot of youth with Wattle, there's a
Speaker 3: lot of youth with Garrett Wilson. They're all still really
Speaker 3: good receivers. I'm interested to see what Brandon Cooks does
Speaker 3: against them. Though Brandon Cooks is a more experienced receiver
Speaker 3: than those guys are, I'm not saying he's a better
Speaker 3: receiver than those.
Speaker 5: Guys are using him the way that he could be.
Speaker 5: Could that change this week? It could, I think it,
Speaker 5: but I will change in order. I think that needs
Speaker 5: to change. But understand what goes hand in hand with that.
Speaker 5: And I don't want to get up too far off
Speaker 5: track of my guy Nick's segment. But that was the
Speaker 5: last matchup.
Speaker 6: Okay, yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 5: Well, in order to push the ball down the field,
Speaker 5: you have to be able to do what run it
Speaker 5: to that too, But you have to be able to protect.
Speaker 5: Oh sure, right, and I and that's big. I'm trying
Speaker 5: not to go there. Yeah, I mean, but you have to,
Speaker 5: right because the reason why Brandon Cooks has not been
Speaker 5: involved and will hit this in a pregame live show
Speaker 5: on Sunday two o'clock. There you go, You.
Speaker 6: Have YO, you have the other shows.
Speaker 5: I'm just here so I don't get fined, Okay. The
Speaker 5: reason why they have not pushed the ball down the
Speaker 5: field to Brandon Cooks is because the times that they
Speaker 5: have it's either been an inaccurate pass or he's been pressured.
Speaker 5: There has not been time to push the ball down
Speaker 5: the field. Just I'm just going back on film. I
Speaker 5: can go back to every path I went back. Actually,
Speaker 5: I have gone back this week and looked at every
Speaker 5: all eleven attempts that have been thrown Brandon Cook's way
Speaker 5: through the first three games. Only eleven eleven attempts wild
Speaker 5: four have been caught. Yep, that's it. Three of those
Speaker 5: four were at five yards.
Speaker 6: You gotta get him going downfield.
Speaker 5: The times that they have tried to go downfield, sack
Speaker 5: or inaccurate pass because of pressure, they're not protecting as
Speaker 5: well as everybody's thinking they're just getting the ball out fast.
Speaker 6: There have been opportunities, not necessarily for Brandon Cookes, but
Speaker 6: for Ceedee Lamb downfield where he has been open. There
Speaker 6: was a play in the Arizona game. I don't really
Speaker 6: remember whenning the game it was ced was wide open downfield.
Speaker 6: Dak just didn't trust to get it down there just
Speaker 6: because of the pressure that was going on around him. Opportunities,
Speaker 6: it's just a mine.
Speaker 5: And I was just saying, so like, there's opportunities, but
Speaker 5: there's not opportunities because you don't have time to actually deliver.
Speaker 6: Them really quick. Through three games, Christian Gonzales has been
Speaker 6: targeted twenty two times. He's allowed fifteen receptions for one
Speaker 6: hundred and forty eight yards to three games, and there's
Speaker 6: going to be opportunities. Zero touchdowns. He has one interception
Speaker 6: and two pass breakups. The longest reception that he has
Speaker 6: allowed has been twenty three yards and that was against
Speaker 6: the Eagles.
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, good to know.
Speaker 3: Moving forward, there's some of the matchups that Nick has
Speaker 3: his eyes on. You can catch his article Dallas Cowboys
Speaker 3: dot com. When does that get posted? They get posted today,
Speaker 3: but like one or two.
Speaker 5: Okay, can I can see a little bit more bubble guts. No,
Speaker 5: there's one name that I haven't brought up all. I
Speaker 5: know there's one name that that you know, I get
Speaker 5: these feelings sometimes, right, me too. And Kyle can't stand
Speaker 5: it when I get these feelings due I mentioned them
Speaker 5: watching the game and I'm like, hey, having feeling.
Speaker 6: I know.
Speaker 5: We've been talking a lot about the tight end group, okay,
Speaker 5: of the New England Patriots, Hunter, Henry and Mike Gesseki.
Speaker 5: There is another one. There's another good name that worries
Speaker 5: me more so than the other two in this particular game.
Speaker 5: Not more so than Hunter, but like Hunter would be
Speaker 5: the more consistent guy. I think they're big play guy
Speaker 5: that you have to have your have circled on your
Speaker 5: on your sheet. This Pharaoh Brown interesting, he he's he's
Speaker 5: he's lightning in a bottle for them. Six six two
Speaker 5: forty five and he has I think two receptions seventy
Speaker 5: six yards in a touchdown. He's their big play tight end.
Speaker 5: He's their big play tight end, and he has some
Speaker 5: juice to him. He's their Peyton Hindershot. He's their Peyton Hendershot.
Speaker 6: But bigger yeah, well six six yeah, bigger shot.
Speaker 5: But I'm saying like he he's the sleeper. He's the
Speaker 5: guy that you sleep on. He's a guy that you
Speaker 5: sleep on, and he doesn't have a lot of catches
Speaker 5: a lot of receptions, but when he does, it's a
Speaker 5: big play. Okay, it's he might have two catches, he
Speaker 5: might have one catch, but that one catch is gonna
Speaker 5: be a big play and it'll catch you off guard
Speaker 5: because you get so honed in on Hunter hearing, you
Speaker 5: get so honed in on Juju and everybody else that
Speaker 5: we haven't even talked about the receivers, Juju and those
Speaker 5: guys and Kendrick, you know, Kendrick Bourn, we haven't. Those
Speaker 5: guys are good now they're they're good. They have Devonte Parker.
Speaker 5: They have some speed out there, they just don't utilize
Speaker 5: it as much, at least to date. But those guys
Speaker 5: allow for the the middle of the field to open
Speaker 5: up because they have so much speed on the outside
Speaker 5: as well. We've seen what speed did last week. Yeah, right,
Speaker 5: and they didn't even use zach Ertz in the middle.
Speaker 5: These guys have three, three guys that can go in
Speaker 5: the middle of the field. Just saying, sorry, why do.
Speaker 2: You got to do that right before a pickham segment.
Speaker 11: Jaron curs.
Speaker 5: We just talked about how he's ready. I'm angry. He's angry.
Speaker 6: I'm angry to show it.
Speaker 5: You show it. Show you got three guys to worry about.
Speaker 5: It's not one.

Speaker 2: To Talking Cowboys.
Speaker 3: Back here on Talking Cowboys, This segment is brought to
Speaker 3: you by in vizi Line, the official smile of the
Speaker 3: Dallas Cowboys. Back here inside the SWBC studios have to
Speaker 3: star on Frisco with Nick Harris, Isaiah standback, Chris Beam
Speaker 3: in the back and we have some updates to be
Speaker 3: had here on this show Pickham segment. Of course, every
Speaker 3: week we picked five regular season games and then the
Speaker 3: Cowboys came every single time.
Speaker 5: And we were.
Speaker 3: We went into last week with a with the fans
Speaker 3: leading the way Abe in Las Vegas at the tone,
Speaker 3: Mario in South Texas took over and the fans are
Speaker 3: no longer leading in the clubhouse. So we'll see what
Speaker 3: they have this week. They're one game back. But I'll
Speaker 3: start at the bottom. Nick Harris seven and eleven, all
Speaker 3: right to start the season. He went three and three
Speaker 3: last week. Sorry, Nick, that's okay.
Speaker 5: We got a long way to go. It's okay.
Speaker 2: He's the only one that's under five hundred at the moment.
Speaker 6: John is at in the East.
Speaker 5: John is at an even five hundred.
Speaker 3: John Machoda nine and nine overall, He went two and
Speaker 3: four last week. Not the best week for John Machoda.
Speaker 3: Then in second place or technically third place the fans
Speaker 3: at eleven and seven, they went three and three with Mario.
Speaker 5: In South Texas. I knew he was too excited. Tied
Speaker 5: for first.
Speaker 3: Oh, Isaiah standback goes five and one last week. The
Speaker 3: only loss he had was the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 5: That was it. That was the only one.
Speaker 3: Loyalty, loyalty to the Cowboys, loyalty for the brand.
Speaker 5: Isaiah is twelve and six.
Speaker 3: I also went five and one last week because we're brothers,
Speaker 3: always on the same page, you know, five and one
Speaker 3: last week, and I am also at twelve and six.
Speaker 3: So me and Isaiah have the identically same all the
Speaker 3: way even across the board record.
Speaker 2: And then the fans are right back below us.
Speaker 5: So here we go back.
Speaker 6: Let's see what we can do this time around.
Speaker 2: We have Mike in New York on the line.
Speaker 5: Mike's what's going on?
Speaker 8: What's going on? Guys?
Speaker 2: Hey, you have always been one of our most energetic callers.
Speaker 3: I expect plenty more of that this week's pick um segment.
Speaker 5: Okay, yep, all right, that's the answer we wanted. We
Speaker 5: just become best friends.
Speaker 6: All right.
Speaker 3: Let's start things off. This one is gonna be an
Speaker 3: absolute barn burner noon kickoff on Sunday, Dolphins at.
Speaker 5: The Bills Divisional a FC East matchup.
Speaker 2: Yeah, coming out hot, Mike, Who you got in this one?
Speaker 8: I got the bill?
Speaker 2: Okay, Hey, that was better?
Speaker 6: That was that was good?
Speaker 5: That was better? Taking the defense? What you got?
Speaker 6: I am going to take the Bills here.
Speaker 5: See I was originally going to take the Bills.
Speaker 6: Here, go ahead, I need a game.
Speaker 5: Go ahead. To flip it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, go ahead that last week and you were the
Speaker 3: one that got it wrong. All right, Well, you know
Speaker 3: you do need a new week. I'm gonna take I'm
Speaker 3: gonna take Buffalo here too. I'm gonna take the Bills
Speaker 3: at home. I just think that's that's too good of
Speaker 3: a team complete. And I said it earlier this week.
Speaker 3: I think the Dolphins are good.
Speaker 5: I just don't know if they're there yet. I don't
Speaker 5: know if they're there yet.
Speaker 3: How about this as the complete opposite of two teams
Speaker 3: that we just talked about, Dolphins and Bills.
Speaker 2: At Super Bowl contenders, the Broncos and the Bears.
Speaker 3: This is the worst matchup of the season so far.
Speaker 3: I cannot wait to watch this one as well, just
Speaker 3: for different reasons.
Speaker 5: Nick, who you got?
Speaker 6: Oh man, there's so much turmoil with both of these
Speaker 6: teams right now. I am going to uh, I'm gonna
Speaker 6: lean on the team that I feel like has a
Speaker 6: little bit more talent, and I'm gonna take the Bears
Speaker 6: and they're at home. I just feel not good at
Speaker 6: all saying that, But go go Bears, Dull Bears.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take Chicago as well.
Speaker 3: Oh gosh, you're right that it doesn't sound right, Isaiah, I.
Speaker 5: Want to go with the Bears. I think that Sean
Speaker 5: Payton will suit up before he goes on to four
Speaker 5: m So I have to go with Sean Payton on
Speaker 5: this one. That's a good point on my front line. Nope,
Speaker 5: on record, all right, double Bears? All right, Mike, who
Speaker 5: you got?
Speaker 8: I got Denver. I don't see Sean Payne calling knowing
Speaker 8: he's doing three, but I'll take Denver.
Speaker 5: Ye all right.
Speaker 3: Ravens at the Browns Baltimore at Cleveland two two to
Speaker 3: one teams. I think on paper, the Ravens are probably
Speaker 3: the better team, but they are on the road, and
Speaker 3: the Browns offense has been clicking even without Nick Chubb.
Speaker 3: I expect him to keep that going. Get the Browns
Speaker 3: at home. A Mary Cooper is gonna have two touchdowns,
Speaker 3: not only because he's on my fantasy team, because the
Speaker 3: Browns needed two touchdowns from Ac.
Speaker 5: I'm going with the Keebler Ilves, Wow, the Browns. I'm
Speaker 5: going to Rave Ravens, Mike.
Speaker 8: Baltimore. It'll be I think whoever win to win by
Speaker 8: like the points, but I think Baltimore. I mean, it's
Speaker 8: a tough match. Up because it's a divisual game. But
Speaker 8: I think I'm going with the Rapis.
Speaker 5: Yeah, thank you very much, Mike. I appreciate that one
Speaker 5: defense is discussed. They're good. The pass rush is nothing.
Speaker 5: Nast uh. Buccaneers at the Saints, Nick, who you got.
Speaker 6: At the Saints? You know the Saints. They're gonna have
Speaker 6: to be juggling around at quarterback, having to play with
Speaker 6: the fact that Derek Carr might not be playing. But
Speaker 6: they get Alvin Kamara backs, so running game might be
Speaker 6: a little bit more established. But I feel like there's
Speaker 6: too much going on there. I like the way the
Speaker 6: Buccaneers have started the season. I think they get the
Speaker 6: edge of the NFC South.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a tough one.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with the Bucks too. Give me the
Speaker 3: fight in Baker Mayfield's to get the job done.
Speaker 5: I'm eating dog jaboom. Going with James Winston. He played
Speaker 5: with both of those franchises, I know, but Jameis Winston
Speaker 5: plays for the Saints right now. You're giving him a week.
Speaker 5: You're giving him a week as the leader of his team.
Speaker 5: I think he takes over this team and has a
Speaker 5: good game. Mike.
Speaker 8: I'll go with the Saints, just because I feel like
Speaker 8: they're obviously a home hard to play in New Orleans,
Speaker 8: and I don't know, can't Tampa Bay's okay, but I
Speaker 8: think the Saints are a little better.
Speaker 3: There you go, Commanders at the Eagles NFC East matchup?
Speaker 3: Can Washington help out Dallas just a little bit by
Speaker 3: knocking off the Eagles for the first time?
Speaker 5: Mike, who you got?
Speaker 8: Uh? New? Philadelphia? Unfortunately, I don't want them to win,
Speaker 8: but I think I think Philadelphia is a little a
Speaker 8: little better team. Though a defensive line is tough and
Speaker 8: Washington's offensive line is it's not that good. So Philadelphia,
Speaker 8: what do you think?
Speaker 5: I agree with? My man, I don't. I don't like
Speaker 5: it either. I am going to pick the green team.
Speaker 6: I'm not going to say the unfamous three words that
Speaker 6: I said last week.
Speaker 5: But did you get some mention from that?
Speaker 11: Did?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 5: There was a little bit of hate there.
Speaker 6: I have said that Philadelphia with the wins, with a
Speaker 6: very unfortunate win.
Speaker 5: Yeah at home here? Yeah?
Speaker 8: There you go.
Speaker 5: Yep, I think Philly gets the winning that one.
Speaker 6: H All right.
Speaker 2: Patriots at the Cowboys.
Speaker 3: It's a homecoming for Ezekiel Elliott at at and t Stadium,
Speaker 3: Big two to one. Now Returns is a big one
Speaker 3: five behind that Patriots offensive line, and he comes with
Speaker 3: a defense just as prevalent as what the Cowboys have
Speaker 3: had as well at times on that defensive side of
Speaker 3: the football. Very good Patriots defense, but can their offense
Speaker 3: get going against the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 5: We'll go with Mike first.
Speaker 8: Who you got Cowboys twenty seven seventeen.
Speaker 3: Twenty seven to seventeen. Mike, appreciate the energy as always.
Speaker 3: I mean, you absolutely bring it every single time. Have
Speaker 3: fun up there in New York. We'll talk to you
Speaker 3: again soon.
Speaker 8: I we're going guys.
Speaker 6: Thank you nice Mike and New York.
Speaker 5: All right, who wants to start us off? I'm gonna
Speaker 5: let Isaia last.
Speaker 3: I'll go ahead and start it. I think the Cowboys rebound.
Speaker 3: I think they slow down the run. I think they
Speaker 3: show maybe not a complete flip flop from last week.
Speaker 3: I think there are still gonna be some problems. I
Speaker 3: think give up less than seventy five yards on the ground.
Speaker 3: I think they do force at least one takeaway. And
Speaker 3: this is a tight, ugly, low scoring football game. Give
Speaker 3: me the Cowboys eighteen to thirteen and a weird one.
Speaker 6: That would be their first win scoring under twenty points
Speaker 6: in their last twenty one contest.
Speaker 5: And I think it'll happen. It's about time.
Speaker 6: It just love to see that. I would love to
Speaker 6: see that. This is going to be a hard, fog game.
Speaker 6: It's going to be a very cerebral matchup with Bill
Speaker 6: Belichick at head coach. I think the Cowboys will struggle
Speaker 6: out of the gate, and I think they will find
Speaker 6: their stride and pull away with a two possession victory.
Speaker 5: There you go, Isaiah, who you got? I believe that
Speaker 5: I can fly, but also I believe, speaking of I
Speaker 5: know Ira, I believe that the Dallas Cowboys will force
Speaker 5: Mac joneson to two interceptions or two turnovers. The offensive
Speaker 5: line does not make me feel good, Kyle, No, it doesn't.
Speaker 5: It doesn't.
Speaker 6: That's my drum roll.
Speaker 5: I see in New England winning oh No.
Speaker 6: Two and not.
Speaker 5: My stomach's not it, but it's I see it twenty
Speaker 5: one seventeen, even with the turnovers. Wow, this is the.
Speaker 3: First time anybody's picked against the Cowboys this year, which
Speaker 3: I had a feeling it would probably happen this week,
Speaker 3: especially after Arizona.
Speaker 5: He has nothing to do with Arizona. It has nothing
Speaker 5: to do with Arizona. He has everything to do with
Speaker 5: the office line. It has everything to do with the
Speaker 5: office line and the style of offense that Dallas has
Speaker 5: been running and what they need to do against this defense.
Speaker 5: I'm not sure they'll have the ability to do.
Speaker 6: It really quick. We have John's picks Dolphins, Broncos, Browns, Saints, Eagles, Cowboys.
Speaker 3: Boom, there you go. He picked the Cowboys as well.
Speaker 3: So Isaiah's on the island.
Speaker 6: There island boy.
Speaker 5: Stomach's not it. I don't like it. It's the it's
Speaker 5: the I'm just going off for the film. You know
Speaker 5: how much film I'll watch. I'm just off the film.
Speaker 5: You are watching them, just off the film.
Speaker 3: If anybody's gonna pick against the Cowboys and get it right,
Speaker 3: it's probably gonna be Isaiah.
Speaker 5: So they hope I'm not right. Unfortunately.
Speaker 3: All right, that does it for us here on talking Cowboys.
Speaker 3: Hope you had as much fun as we did previewing
Speaker 3: this matchup throughout the week. We will be back Monday morning,
Speaker 3: film and all to break it down nine am Central Time.
Speaker 3: Win or lose for the Cowboys, we will be right
Speaker 3: back here inside the SWBC Mortgage Studios with our black
Speaker 3: rifle coffee all right for Chris Beaven the back, Isaiah
Speaker 3: stand back, John Michoda all week, Nick Harris, i' Kylo
Speaker 3: Yoman saying so long from the star in Frisco.
Speaker 5: We'll see you on Monday.
Speaker 2: Enjoy the game, Everybody Go Cowboys.
