And happy days are here again at least 0:00:55.800 --> 0:00:58.200 well for two weeks because the Cowboys have are They're 0:00:58.200 --> 0:01:00.360 gonna win again next week. There you go at the 0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:01.840 buy a week next to it, were in to Wade 0:01:01.840 --> 0:01:07.120 Phillips say, well that's exactly right. And welcome Dude Talking Cowboys, 0:01:07.120 --> 0:01:10.160 Bill Jones, Mickey Spagnola, Brian brought us and Rob Phillips. 0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:12.160 We're here for the next forty five minutes to break 0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:16.080 it all down exactly why the Cowboys were winners last 0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:19.920 night over the Philadelphia Eagles. Right off the top, I 0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:24.000 want to mention those who have suffered a loss in 0:01:24.080 --> 0:01:27.160 the tornadoes that hit in North Dallas last night, and 0:01:27.319 --> 0:01:29.959 our thoughts and prayers are with you as we begin 0:01:30.080 --> 0:01:32.680 this day. That came down in the second half of 0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:36.200 the game last night, and then many of us involved 0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:38.399 in the game, whether at the stadium or here at 0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:41.520 the Star at a TV studio, we're sort of oblivious 0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:44.280 to what was going on outside. But our thoughts are 0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:48.120 with you as you struggle to overcome that. It was 0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:52.600 just a swap of destruction and that went through in terror, 0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:58.240 that went through Dallas, North Dallas last night. Your take 0:01:58.320 --> 0:02:00.600 on what happened last night at at and T Stadium, 0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:04.120 it was a safe place to be, as it turned out, 0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:07.600 because we had no idea what was going on. Right 0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:10.440 the way right, I'm watching all the weather map, but 0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:15.000 no one said anything about what was happening. So it's unusual. 0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:17.280 Rob and I were like, yeah, yeah, there's no sense lead. 0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:21.040 They saw the lightning strike occasionally and that's about it. Yeah, 0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:24.680 at a late October tornado is unusual to begin with. 0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:29.520 But back to your first question, I thought the Cowboys 0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:33.040 finally played the way we thought they would play, and 0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:35.880 this was the first time all season they played a 0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:39.920 complete game and not to use the cliche offense, defense, 0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:43.160 and special teams, but for the first time, I thought 0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:46.959 all three units functioned away. We had expected them to 0:02:47.040 --> 0:02:50.960 function after what we saw in preseason and along with 0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:57.040 the training camp, So goodwin. Obviously the number means something 0:02:57.080 --> 0:02:59.359 to get to four, but I think the confidence they 0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:02.480 may draw off from a victory like that, showing themselves 0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:07.720 what they're capable of doing when they play without stepping 0:03:07.800 --> 0:03:10.920 on their feet, what they can do going forward. It 0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:12.840 was a complete win, and it was also the best 0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:16.440 defensive performance we've seen, probably by far, because of the 0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:18.800 way they took the ball away. And I think we 0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:21.320 hammered this point. I think Bill, you started it during 0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:23.840 the week last week, the only team left in the 0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:26.560 league entering Sunday that had not started a drive in 0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:31.160 their own territory, and lo and behold, first fifteen plays 0:03:31.160 --> 0:03:34.560 of the game, they're inside Philly forty five, Philly fourteen, 0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:36.680 and then a couple laid in the game as well, 0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:39.520 and they get twenty one of their thirty seven points 0:03:39.560 --> 0:03:42.200 off of that. I mean, Zeke said it after the game. 0:03:42.520 --> 0:03:44.360 All the credit goes to the defense for setting the 0:03:44.400 --> 0:03:46.960 tone and setting us up and letting us get off 0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:49.480 to a good start to where after that you saw 0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:52.800 the offense do what they want to do. Dictate things 0:03:52.840 --> 0:03:55.200 and get to some things they want to get too. Offensively, Yeah, 0:03:55.360 --> 0:03:57.400 the week before we were talking about a lack of 0:03:57.480 --> 0:03:59.640 pass rush, and all of a sudden you found pastors 0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:01.960 to think it gets a pretty good offensive line, you know. 0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:04.080 And that's the thing I think that was most impressive 0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:07.920 to me on that situation was the fact that you're 0:04:07.960 --> 0:04:10.119 able to get four man pressure. Yeah, they did bring 0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:12.760 a couple of blitzes that were disguised. Well, got some 0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:15.880 guys home. You know, anytime you can affect Carson Wentz 0:04:15.920 --> 0:04:17.960 in the pocket. They don't have a lot of weapons 0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:20.800 as far as down the field players, you know with 0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:23.760 Al Jackson, but you're able to cover their guys. Zach 0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:26.680 Ernst didn't kill you in this football game. Jeffrey didn't 0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:28.839 kill you in this game. You know the running back 0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:31.320 surely you know you would worry about Sanders a little 0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:34.719 bit coming out. So they affected Carson Wentz in the pocket. 0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:38.080 They it affected the way that the Eagles were not 0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:41.080 able to throw the football, and I think that's to me. 0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:44.240 You know, the Eagles they tried to be real patient 0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:46.839 by running the football. They didn't have the success that 0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:49.720 the Cowboys had running the football, and that put them 0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:52.320 in a hole little bit. But those turnovers, like Rob said, 0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:55.000 that's key right there. You get two quick ones, you 0:04:55.120 --> 0:04:57.560 cash in on them. Now the Eagles are having to 0:04:57.600 --> 0:05:00.520 play behind, but the Cowboys did a great job of 0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:03.920 just keeping that distance, not allowing the Eagles to get close. 0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:06.960 And that's the mark of a team that's capable of 0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:09.760 doing things. They're capable of playing like this every week. 0:05:10.200 --> 0:05:12.719 Some days. It's a very fine line with this team. 0:05:12.760 --> 0:05:15.160 We talked about that too, you know, if they have 0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:18.960 if they have turnovers, or if they have penalties. You know, 0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:21.240 we saw them get a couple of penalties and still 0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:24.520 kind of maintain and be able to make some positive 0:05:24.560 --> 0:05:27.680 plays out of that. They took it to Philadelphia's defense. 0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:31.640 They blocked their front, they they made plays down the field. 0:05:31.680 --> 0:05:33.680 They were physical, and they had to run the football. 0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:38.080 Like Mickey said, Really a nice team victory overall for 0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:40.479 a team that's capable of playing like that every week. 0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:45.200 You know, it's interesting. Doug Peterson decided not to defer. 0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:47.760 He took the ball to start and I think even 0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:50.320 you go back to his comments on the radio last week, 0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:53.240 and he saw that his team was reeling and he 0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:55.560 felt like he needed to do something to try to 0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:58.680 change that, and whether it was going on the radio 0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:00.160 and say we're gonna win this game, and I mean 0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:02.840 as positive as he can be, and then going out 0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:06.480 of his nature and taking the ball to start the game, 0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:08.880 and it all just backfired him in the first two 0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:11.240 minutes of that game. Well, they kept worrying about their 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:14.480 slow starts, falling behind by ten points in five or 0:06:14.600 --> 0:06:17.679 six games. So I think he thought, Okay, I'll show you. Yeah, 0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:21.760 Well the game showed him ended up being faked bravado 0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:24.040 on his part. Do you feel like though, that he 0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:26.080 looked at the tape from the last three weeks and 0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:28.320 felt like that he could maybe make some hay if 0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:30.400 he took the ball. Do you feel like though the 0:06:30.440 --> 0:06:33.080 way the Cowboys defense with the with the exception or 0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:35.400 maybe the New Orleans game. You look at what the 0:06:36.160 --> 0:06:38.320 you know, they had had some success moving the ball 0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:41.360 against Green Bay. You know they actually they should have 0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:46.120 probably lost that game, but they they exactly they should have, 0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:48.040 you know. But but do you feel like that maybe 0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:50.640 he's like, Okay, if I take this ball, you know 0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:53.200 I can I can do something here. Dallas is not 0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:55.200 going to get me off this field three and out, 0:06:55.720 --> 0:06:59.360 you know. I mean, yeah, and that's what I'm saying. 0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:01.040 If it was one of those things where you're playing 0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:04.080 against the defense that you felt like, man, okay, if 0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:06.080 I take this ball, there is a good chance I'm 0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:08.280 gonna have either have a turnover, I'm gonna go three 0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:11.480 and out. You know. I think maybe it's a little 0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:14.440 bit of him saying maybe he's like he's showing confidence 0:07:14.440 --> 0:07:17.240 in his offense, but his offense didn't didn't didn't have 0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:19.400 enough confidence to do what he needed to do. They 0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:22.160 didn't protect well enough. They gave up the sack, they 0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:24.600 gave up the fumble, they gave up the hit, all 0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:27.120 that stuff right there. But it was probably one of 0:07:27.200 --> 0:07:30.240 those things where he said, well, Dallas isn't scaring me 0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:34.360 the way they're playing defense right now, We'll see. Yeah, well, 0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:37.000 you know what I mean, he might have won the bet. 0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:39.800 I mean, if you think there was two key plays 0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:42.440 on that first possession. They had already gotten a first down, 0:07:42.600 --> 0:07:45.920 right yeah, and then the deep ball the guy picked 0:07:46.000 --> 0:07:50.400 up the interference flag right when a Woozier and I 0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:53.760 think it was Jeffrey tangled each other, and then he 0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:56.680 completed the past to Goddard, you know, and they're moving 0:07:57.000 --> 0:08:01.240 and he fumbles the ball away. So yeah, I mean 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:04.000 that's just kind of reminiscent of what the Cowboys he's 0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:06.080 been doing. These two teams were mirror images of the 0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:09.280 question and the Cowboys, Dak said it during the week, 0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:10.880 they had to get out of their own way no 0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:13.560 turnovers offensively. I'm with you, Brian. I mean I think 0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:16.040 they felt like and he needed, they need to do 0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:18.800 something to jump start their offense. It just didn't work 0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:21.360 out for him. But then the Cowboys will see this 0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:23.480 team again. Maybe it's a different story, but they need 0:08:23.480 --> 0:08:28.160 to shun Jackson back because Cowboys offensively already more explosive 0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:31.480 team than Philly is right now. And there's a and 0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:34.040 to your point, Carson Wentz was just kind of off 0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:36.800 his spot a lot during the game. Oh yeah, they 0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:39.040 affected the way he played in that game. There's no 0:08:39.120 --> 0:08:41.679 question in the pass rush, whether it was four or 0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:45.000 the extra man, or or showing blitz to one side 0:08:45.000 --> 0:08:47.320 and bringing the slot off the other. I mean, very 0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:50.880 creative ways of getting pressure home. And they had Carson 0:08:50.960 --> 0:08:55.000 Wentz not on his game last night, and you know 0:08:55.080 --> 0:08:57.679 he was capable of making We've seen Carson Wentz make 0:08:57.800 --> 0:09:00.480 mistakes during games. You just had to be talked about 0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:02.880 in the pregame shows. You had to be ready for 0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:04.960 him to throw you the ball. You know. You couldn't. 0:09:05.000 --> 0:09:06.920 You couldn't get in a situation like what happened to 0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:08.880 Sean Lee in the end of the game, you know, 0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:12.319 and and not not get that interception, you know. And 0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:15.240 they did a great job the fumbles and guys getting 0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:17.040 on the ball. How many times we've seen the ball 0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:19.480 on the ground and somebody doesn't get on it, they 0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:22.440 don't scoop it to themselves. Give Carrie Hider a lot 0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:25.080 of credit. That ball hits Carson Wentz right in the face, 0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:27.160 you know, it goes through his hands, it's on the ground. 0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:29.520 Carry hiders not even thinking about passers, and he sees 0:09:29.559 --> 0:09:33.000 it the situation he's diving inside, scoops it to himself. 0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:36.080 You know. Those are those are nice instinctive plays right there. 0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:38.920 If you talk about creating turnovers, you gotta be able 0:09:38.920 --> 0:09:41.720 to do things like that, put yourself in position finish 0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:44.640 the play. They were able to do that against I 0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:48.120 think a team that offensively, Yes, they lack playmakers on 0:09:48.160 --> 0:09:51.080 the outside, but they covered those tight ends yeah, you know, 0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:54.480 and they choked them, and they choked the running game. 0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:57.559 They Yeah, they did both. Jeff ef with on him 0:09:57.640 --> 0:09:59.760 quite a bit. Yeah, I think they zoned it a 0:09:59.800 --> 0:10:03.000 litt little bit. But here's the bottom line. He completed 0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:06.079 only sixteen passes and only four of those were to 0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:09.120 wide receivers. And we've seen that they couldn't get the 0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:11.880 ball on the outside and he kept trying. They kept 0:10:11.920 --> 0:10:14.679 slaying it around, throwing it deep. What gay do that have? 0:10:14.840 --> 0:10:17.440 Green Bay? The Green Bay game was the same way, right, 0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:20.480 didn't didn't they complete all their passes. Aaron Rodgers passes 0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:22.400 all went to tight ends. I bet he ran more 0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:25.360 two tight with that offense than because without why without 0:10:25.400 --> 0:10:27.160 Adams in that game? Yeah, he had to rely on 0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:30.719 some other guys. Yeah, it's just funny sometimes. I mean, 0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:33.720 do you guys ever watch this play secondary defense and 0:10:33.760 --> 0:10:36.480 they think it's just chaotic and you're just like, oh 0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:39.319 my god, how open does that guy? You know you 0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:41.120 were you were get that feeling like why is that 0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:43.160 guy so open? You know you maybe if you and 0:10:43.200 --> 0:10:45.160 it always seems to happen when they get a rusher 0:10:45.280 --> 0:10:48.320 home and he just misses and now the quarterbacks moving 0:10:48.360 --> 0:10:49.839 a little and now the balls down the field and 0:10:49.840 --> 0:10:53.160 you're like going, oh my gosh, how does that happen? Well, 0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:55.079 they had a bunch of them. Oh no, it's usaying 0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:57.720 they had They took it too. I thought, a really 0:10:57.760 --> 0:11:02.000 good Philadelphia offensive line, which makes me wonder, Okay, what 0:11:02.160 --> 0:11:05.400 happened the previous week against the Jets? You know where 0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:07.480 was this? Does it does it take you to have 0:11:07.600 --> 0:11:09.800 to have a loss? I hate that when they say, oh, yeah, 0:11:09.800 --> 0:11:12.920 we'll learn from this. God, I hate that. I hate 0:11:13.000 --> 0:11:15.640 that because stake Lawrence was living in the backfield in 0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:18.120 the first half, sure was. I mean he was winning 0:11:18.160 --> 0:11:20.840 on that first step he was. He was, Yeah, really 0:11:20.920 --> 0:11:23.640 quick first step for him. Lane Johnson usually plays him 0:11:23.640 --> 0:11:26.360 pretty well. That Lane Johnson didn't have an answer for him, 0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:29.400 you know. And Robert Quinn until he got by the way. 0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:31.440 Robert Quinn, mickey, you have anything on the Robert quinns 0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:34.840 was all I heard at the end was that he 0:11:34.920 --> 0:11:37.559 was going for X rays. Yeah, and it was ribs. Okay, 0:11:37.600 --> 0:11:39.439 well I heard it was. I heard it was a 0:11:40.440 --> 0:11:42.400 spasm in his ribs. I didn't know if he had anything, 0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:44.720 but they took him to the hospital because they couldn't 0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:47.080 figure out they couldn't see on the X ray if 0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:50.000 there was anything more there, but it was just a spasm. 0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:52.040 He should be all right, that's what I heard this morning. 0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:55.520 I didn't know Mickey band Esh should be fine, Tea. 0:11:56.360 --> 0:11:58.679 You know, he was back on the sideline after before 0:11:58.679 --> 0:12:00.480 the game was over, and he was in his warm 0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:02.439 up suit. So he said, if it was up to me, 0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:05.040 I would have come back. And apparently he didn't look 0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:06.720 too happy that he couldn't go back in the game. 0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:09.240 Seawn Lee played a hell of a game. That's Joe Thomas. 0:12:09.240 --> 0:12:12.000 Sean Lee though, Sean Lee, you know, yeah, it's back 0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:14.440 in his normal spot. Yeah. And I looked at him, 0:12:14.520 --> 0:12:16.320 I said, feel like he played a game today, and 0:12:16.360 --> 0:12:18.440 he kind of smiled. He goes, yeah, it felt good. Oh, 0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:20.640 I did a great job and he really make plays. 0:12:20.720 --> 0:12:23.200 Look at that one possession was at the last he 0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:25.720 made every player they were trying to kind of round 0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:27.320 with the clock. Shawn Lee says, okay, I'm not gonna 0:12:27.360 --> 0:12:28.960 let you block me, and then I wish he could 0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:30.840 have finished with the interception. That would have been a 0:12:30.920 --> 0:12:33.760 nice way to kind of tight things up there. I 0:12:33.920 --> 0:12:36.280 think it may have been good that he didn't because 0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:38.559 he didn't have to stretch out those hamstrings. Yeah, and 0:12:38.559 --> 0:12:41.200 then he started running. Yeah, exactly. We got a giggle 0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:44.880 out of that. But the injury see your hands there, Yeah, 0:12:45.040 --> 0:12:47.280 injury seemed to be okay there for them going into 0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:50.560 the by Keith was fine. Yeah, he was walking out 0:12:50.600 --> 0:12:52.720 and I asked him. He said, I'm good. What happened 0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:56.920 to him? He got hit? Ye, a collision. Yeah, and 0:12:56.960 --> 0:12:58.960 he got the breath knocked out of me. Yeah, he said, 0:12:58.960 --> 0:13:00.720 he got the breath knock He ran and he ran 0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:03.720 into the receiver. Yeah. It was on the Sean Lee drop. 0:13:03.800 --> 0:13:06.000 It was what it was. Yeah, Mac Collins, I think 0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:09.360 guy was Hollins and Mac Collins and Mac Yeah, okay, yeah, 0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:12.120 and he said that he wasn't sure that his breath 0:13:12.240 --> 0:13:16.000 was ever coming back. Finally came back. So but on 0:13:16.040 --> 0:13:18.920 the injury front, I mean, maybe it wasn't looking too 0:13:19.000 --> 0:13:21.319 good or we weren't sure going in, you know, about 0:13:21.320 --> 0:13:24.599 a few days ago. But Zach Martin, Tyrant Smith and 0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:27.240 effort by those guys. They play every snap, all seventy snaps. 0:13:27.240 --> 0:13:31.400 Byron Jones plays every defensive snap, and Maury Cooper fifty 0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:34.440 six snaps and some of his routes as usual were 0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:37.320 you know, textbook tip of the captain. Britt Brown and 0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:40.200 those guys over that training room because Wednesday we were 0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:42.760 all having our show talking about whoa what about this? 0:13:42.840 --> 0:13:44.520 And WHOA what about that? I was not going to 0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:46.000 pick the philadelp I was not going to pick the 0:13:46.080 --> 0:13:48.600 Dallas Cowboys if they didn't play without those guys, and 0:13:48.720 --> 0:13:50.680 those guys didn't make a difference. You watched with the 0:13:50.679 --> 0:13:54.880 off at the protection Lyle Collins against Brandy Graham. Brandy 0:13:54.920 --> 0:13:59.320 Graham did sniff sniff and how many times did you 0:13:59.320 --> 0:14:03.199 hear Fletcher not much? You know what's wrong with Fletcher Cox. 0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:05.079 I mean this in a way is the play I 0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:08.679 I sell Fletcher Cox is this guy, you know, he's 0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:10.760 a powerful guy. You gotta watch him, you gotta do 0:14:10.760 --> 0:14:13.959 this guy to do that. Fletcher Cox is is like 0:14:14.360 --> 0:14:17.000 a shell of himself. He really, you know, and he 0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:19.840 doesn't look nearly the same player with the quickness and 0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:25.800 the first reason they he's not good anymore. The other 0:14:25.800 --> 0:14:27.840 part of it with the watch will get three sets 0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:31.120 him again. The other part of it with their run 0:14:31.160 --> 0:14:33.120 defense is there a ranked number two in the league 0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:35.440 and run defense coming in. But if you if you 0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:37.520 looked at him, they didn't look like they were that 0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:42.080 strong and and they all lina game to at least 0:14:42.240 --> 0:14:45.800 Zach Brown. Yeah, Nigel Bradham didn't play Garry, who I 0:14:45.880 --> 0:14:49.400 like is just undersize he's two thirty pound linebacker and 0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:51.680 you go. And that's one of the reasons even going 0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:53.680 in that I thought the Cowboys, even though they were 0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:55.400 the number two run defense, that they'd be able to 0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:57.480 run the ball against him. Well, they did it last 0:14:57.560 --> 0:14:59.200 year and they did it again this year. Oh no, 0:14:59.280 --> 0:15:02.640 that's it's Zeke. He sees that those wings on that 0:15:02.680 --> 0:15:04.960 helmet and he just lowered. I'll tell you what, though, 0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:07.560 when you knew when he on that fourteen yard run 0:15:07.640 --> 0:15:11.400 he had when he blew up Jenkins, you're thinking, okay, 0:15:11.400 --> 0:15:13.680 now it's on. Here we go. I mean, this is 0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:18.360 this is one of those tones setting time. Yet he's 0:15:18.400 --> 0:15:20.880 just when he ran over and Jenkins, you know, it's 0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:23.200 so nice to see Scandrick play out there in space. 0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:26.120 That just reminded me so much of what he used 0:15:26.120 --> 0:15:29.440 to do here, didn't it bed remind me Over to 0:15:29.520 --> 0:15:32.920 the Cowboys sideline pre game warm ups to talk with 0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:36.200 everybody that reminded me of Scandrick when Jordan Lewis goes 0:15:36.320 --> 0:15:38.640 on the corner blitz on block for the sack, that 0:15:38.800 --> 0:15:41.280 that was a Scandrick special. Yeah, but yeah, but how 0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:43.720 about the times when he did nothing? You know, that's 0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:47.520 the kind of times I remember. Well, I know you 0:15:47.600 --> 0:15:49.800 got a problem with your run defense. When the quarterback 0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:52.640 runs a quarterback sneak and goes eight yards. Yeah, the 0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:55.160 last guy had to make the tackle. The guys touchdown 0:15:55.240 --> 0:15:58.560 guys are savage on little Scandrick cuts. You know what, Hey, 0:15:58.560 --> 0:16:01.040 there's a reason why it's Mickey would say, there's always 0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:04.760 a reason why. There's a reason why. You know, it 0:16:04.760 --> 0:16:07.400 comes back at you. You know, yeah, exactly, you know, 0:16:07.520 --> 0:16:09.720 doing to others as they do to you.

You 0:19:31.520 --> 0:19:37.639 get around to Friday version of talking It was an 0:19:37.640 --> 0:19:44.320 obelist table. Oh, it's our show, talking cowboys. This show, okay, 0:19:45.359 --> 0:19:47.920 a couple of games out of helmet. Sorry, it's a 0:19:48.040 --> 0:19:50.720 late night. It's a late night, and that's no excuse. 0:19:50.760 --> 0:19:53.480 I'm just dumb as an early morning. I'm just dumb. Okay, 0:19:53.520 --> 0:19:58.640 Our roundtable continues. Yes, yeah, it's okay. It's one thing 0:19:58.680 --> 0:20:02.280 getting a POSI session and the opponents into the field 0:20:02.400 --> 0:20:05.600 and plus territory yes, it's another thing to cash in 0:20:05.680 --> 0:20:08.639 on it. And how about the way the Cowboys cashed 0:20:08.680 --> 0:20:11.879 in on that first turnover with the play call to 0:20:12.000 --> 0:20:14.840 Tavon Austin. I love the design of that play. You 0:20:14.840 --> 0:20:17.639 get it, your planning, that gets an aggressive defense to 0:20:17.680 --> 0:20:21.600 begin with, and they're so interested in getting down inside 0:20:21.640 --> 0:20:24.200 and what a great play fake Dak Prescott one of 0:20:24.240 --> 0:20:26.679 his maybe as underrated skill as he has as a 0:20:26.760 --> 0:20:29.119 ball hand on the way he's able to deception that 0:20:29.200 --> 0:20:32.040 he has. But man, those guys, those those ends and 0:20:32.040 --> 0:20:34.399
