Speaker 1: The following. He's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club Cowboys. This he's Talking Cowboys,
Speaker 1: screaming live from the Dallas Cowboys World headhours at the
Speaker 1: Star in frischol Elliot flowing to the list and now
Speaker 1: your hosts, Isaiah Stanback, heck My Harrison, Rob Phillips, and
Speaker 1: Kyle Yeomans go Dallas Cowboys. It is a victory Monday
Speaker 1: here on Talking Cowboys as the Dallas Cowboys take control
Speaker 1: of the NFC East once again. They have a three
Speaker 1: game lead with four to play after a twenty seven
Speaker 1: to twenty win over the Washington Football team, and we
Speaker 1: are here to talk about it on Talking Cowboys, presented
Speaker 1: by its Tostitos, helping fans get in on the game.
Speaker 1: Welcome into the SWBC Mortgage studios here at the Star
Speaker 1: in Frisco. We've got heck My Harrison, We've got Isaiah
Speaker 1: stand back. Rob Phillips is actually stuck in Washington, but
Speaker 1: we're gonna get him on the phone coming up here
Speaker 1: in just a little bit. I'm Kyle Yeoman's and gentlemen,
Speaker 1: it feels great for it to be another victory Monday.
Speaker 1: It feels good. No such thing as a bad victory.
Speaker 1: It feels really it feels real good, Kyle, to be
Speaker 1: nine and four and your defense to pull one out
Speaker 1: for you again again. And that's something. And that's something
Speaker 1: I'm telling you words that you didn't even think about
Speaker 1: saying last year. Not even think about that, think about that.
Speaker 1: This was the same defense that was historically bad for
Speaker 1: your franchise. We've been playing football at the Cowboys for
Speaker 1: sixty years and they hadn't had a worse defense than that.
Speaker 1: This is the scaff years, lock out all of that, ye,
Speaker 1: and your defense is pulled out two for you. I'll
Speaker 1: take it. You can't even argue that it's been more
Speaker 1: than two, but definitely two in a row. Two in
Speaker 1: a row, Yeah, no doubt about it. But it was
Speaker 1: sloppy toward the end. And we're going to talk about it.
Speaker 1: It wasn't good from the offense throughout much of the game,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna talk about it. But at first, I mean,
Speaker 1: you have to give credit to where credit is due,
Speaker 1: and that is the defensive side of the football. Because
Speaker 1: they bawled out again again again. Did you expect it
Speaker 1: to come at this rate, this quickly with a dan
Speaker 1: Quinn turnaround or is this just a cherry on top.
Speaker 1: I didn't expect it to be this dominant. Um. I
Speaker 1: think if we go all the way back to when
Speaker 1: dan Quinn first got hired, you know, I think I
Speaker 1: stand on it, stood on a pedestal and said that
Speaker 1: he was going to turn this culture around. Pretty darg
Speaker 1: gone quick. I don't think anybody expected it, you know,
Speaker 1: to turn around in the way it has. In terms
Speaker 1: of these guys are being absolutely dominant. I did, but
Speaker 1: I think I thought they were going to be productive.
Speaker 1: But what you're seeing right now with the addition of
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons and Diggs playing well and all the defensive front,
Speaker 1: this front seven is absolutely It was a first game
Speaker 1: back with these guys. I'm aside from like what the
Speaker 1: thirty snaps they had prior to this game, so I
Speaker 1: mean this was this was awesome to see and these
Speaker 1: guys they showed up and showed out. All right. Let
Speaker 1: me just read off some stats because it's phenomenal. I
Speaker 1: know you're not a stats guy, as Heiah, but this
Speaker 1: tells the story. Taylor Heineke eleven of twenty five for
Speaker 1: one twenty two just one touchdown, just one interception, fifty
Speaker 1: five point eight passer rating, and that touchdown was really
Speaker 1: a heave and his receiver went up and made just
Speaker 1: a phenomenal play. Sims on the back end fifty five
Speaker 1: point eight in the rating. How about Antonio Gibson who
Speaker 1: just tore you up last year, right, I mean, one
Speaker 1: twenty one thirty one crowd served you on Thanksgiving last year.
Speaker 1: Ten rushes thirty six yards, he had a long of thirteen.
Speaker 1: Talk about it. You need to do. Isn't that great?
Speaker 1: It is great? I mean, there was really nothing going
Speaker 1: for Washington overall. They had one hundred yards on the ground,
Speaker 1: which was just kind of by committee or by committed.
Speaker 1: As the game went along, Kyle Allen had eleven of
Speaker 1: os on just that one rush, and then they had
Speaker 1: the four takeaways, four turnovers from the Washington side. And
Speaker 1: it came in different fascists, different forms, and all of
Speaker 1: those key players you wanted back on defense ECMA, they
Speaker 1: stepped up and made huge plays at different times in
Speaker 1: the game. Reunited and it feels so good talking about
Speaker 1: being man. This is um I mean, and to see
Speaker 1: them playing not only that, before we go into tank,
Speaker 1: before we go into Randy Neville Gallimore. Yes, sir man,
Speaker 1: I mean you want you have to make an immediate
Speaker 1: impact in ninety six is immediate impact on this defense.
Speaker 1: He did some things that obviously we missed out on
Speaker 1: with Urban just gobbling up blocks. But not only did
Speaker 1: he gobble up blocks. We talked all week about maintaining
Speaker 1: and dominating the line of scrimmage and how we had
Speaker 1: to meet their tempo in their pace. I think we
Speaker 1: did that. Yeah, I think we did that upfront, and
Speaker 1: we've been missing that. We've been missing. That's the complete
Speaker 1: domination by our defensive line being able to go into
Speaker 1: games and say, you know what, Nadal, Nadal not today,
Speaker 1: and that's what everybody's been asking for, and we finally
Speaker 1: get it on defense. We finally get that on defense,
Speaker 1: and you see the cast of characters that we have
Speaker 1: have back. The only thing that to me, I think
Speaker 1: when you look further down the line, all right, we're
Speaker 1: gonna have this victory Monday. But you know, look, I
Speaker 1: think there are some teams out there that have a better,
Speaker 1: better offensive lines, that have a better running game, and
Speaker 1: our guys may be a little bit lighter, but I
Speaker 1: think with the quickness that they're playing with explosiveness that
Speaker 1: they're playing with that's gonna nullify anybody they play come
Speaker 1: up against. Yeah, that defense. I mean Neville Gallimore on
Speaker 1: the sack that he had just destroyed the offense flying.
Speaker 1: He did that on a couple of occasions. And speaking
Speaker 1: of being reunited, we are reunited with Rob Phillips now
Speaker 1: on what's up thing? Rob p Island on the phone.
Speaker 1: Everybody live from Where are you at right now? Rob? Good?
Speaker 1: Like that? So good? I'm in Baltimore right now. We're
Speaker 1: about to head out and catch a flight home, maybe
Speaker 1: catch media access today. We'll see. We know your hard
Speaker 1: working as always, so I want to hear from your
Speaker 1: perspective being at the game. Was what was the atmosphere like?
Speaker 1: Because there was a lot of excitement around it, There
Speaker 1: was a lot of talk in the metropolitan area leading
Speaker 1: into it, and then of course Cowboys Nation has been
Speaker 1: excited all year long and they're always going to show out.
Speaker 1: So what was the atmosphere like and how did it
Speaker 1: evolve as the game went along? Well, we've talked about
Speaker 1: it on the show, how the Cowboys Nation is really
Speaker 1: well represented in the DC Baltimore area, and you saw
Speaker 1: it yesterday, I thought in free game. I mean, there
Speaker 1: were some later rivals with Washington fans, but there was
Speaker 1: a large segment of blue in FedEx Field, and that's
Speaker 1: that's not unusual, but it seemed a little bit more
Speaker 1: than usual. And I wonder how much of it was,
Speaker 1: you know, Washington, I think we're two and six at
Speaker 1: one point, and maybe they give some fans to give
Speaker 1: up their tickets, you know, the Cowboys fans a while back.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it was well represented. I mean, when the
Speaker 1: Cowboys are good and this is a good football team
Speaker 1: despite their issues right now at nine and four, fans
Speaker 1: are going to travel. And that's certainly what happened yesterday.
Speaker 1: And like you guys just said, the defense gave him
Speaker 1: a show. They gave him a show. And what was
Speaker 1: it like early on when it was so dominant. I mean,
Speaker 1: twenty four to nothing was the lead at the end
Speaker 1: of the first half. You really had everything working for
Speaker 1: you on defense. It was putting your offense in good scenarios.
Speaker 1: Did the crowd feed into that at all, like it
Speaker 1: was almost like a halfway home game. Yeah, absolutely, And
Speaker 1: I think yeah, kind of like a get right game
Speaker 1: is what it kind of felt like. But I mean,
Speaker 1: I know, you guys are going to get into the offense,
Speaker 1: and you know that they did have that forty one
Speaker 1: yard drive in the i think first quarter with the
Speaker 1: Marii Cooper with a touchdown, and you kind of felt like, okay,
Speaker 1: even the field goal drive early the first drive of
Speaker 1: the game, you kind of fell Okay, they're going to
Speaker 1: kind of settle in and never quite got there. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I think I think, you know, the fans were energized.
Speaker 1: I mean I kind of felt like, uh, they've they've
Speaker 1: got something rolling here. And look, you know, they came
Speaker 1: up here last year and and did not play well,
Speaker 1: missing so many key guys. So I think fans we're
Speaker 1: looking forward to that having dacked back, having all those
Speaker 1: key players back. Pete, just take me back to your
Speaker 1: seat and the booth and you're sitting there after the
Speaker 1: it is halftime. What are you what is on your mind?
Speaker 1: We're up twenty four at a zero. What are you saying?
Speaker 1: I'm saying Heck was right with his prediction. I think
Speaker 1: kind of what I was thinking. You called it. I mean,
Speaker 1: it was gonna be, you know, a beat down, and
Speaker 1: the Cowboys talent wise, are a better team. Than Washington. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, especially with the with the players that they're
Speaker 1: missing um, but there's still it kind of felt like
Speaker 1: at halftime though there's still something missing those points. Most
Speaker 1: of those points were a product of what the defense
Speaker 1: was doing. And it's funny how when the season started
Speaker 1: we felt like, Okay, if the defense could just be improved,
Speaker 1: this offense is so good that the Cowboys are gonna
Speaker 1: win this division. Yep. Now now it's kind of like
Speaker 1: Kenny offense carry what the defense is doing right now.
Speaker 1: And look, there's there's four games left and they're you know,
Speaker 1: not four weeks ago, but a few weeks beyond that.
Speaker 1: We felt like, Okay, this offense can't be stopped. There's
Speaker 1: still time to fix it. But if we want to
Speaker 1: nitpick here and don't, I don't think it's just nitpicking.
Speaker 1: Because of the quality of the NFC, offense has got
Speaker 1: to be better, no question about it. You kind of
Speaker 1: heard that from the postgame reaction last night too. Dak
Speaker 1: said it, Zeke said it, Amari said it. I mean,
Speaker 1: everybody who talked that was on the offensive side of
Speaker 1: the football yesterday mentioned that this isn't the standard because
Speaker 1: even when you look at the stats. You go all
Speaker 1: the way up and down three hundred and twenty three
Speaker 1: yards two hundred through the year, one hundred on the ground,
Speaker 1: you only had the two takeaways. They were both pretty
Speaker 1: blatant turnovers. And we'll talk about that here up in
Speaker 1: a moment. But you feel good about the statistics of
Speaker 1: your offense, you don't feel good about the standard. That's
Speaker 1: the difference. The statistics are fine right now for an
Speaker 1: average NFL offense. This is not supposed to be an
Speaker 1: average NFL offense, right Yeah, the standard is unstoppable. That's
Speaker 1: what the standard is, because that's what they were like
Speaker 1: in October when they're putting up forty point games. And look,
Speaker 1: they had a forty point game a few weeks ago.
Speaker 1: But man, that doesn't seem that that that's the aberration
Speaker 1: of the post by seven game stretch wherever we're at
Speaker 1: right now. So, yeah, the standard is pick your poison.
Speaker 1: We can run you over, we can win any type
Speaker 1: of man coverage you want to throw at us, And
Speaker 1: right now that's not happening. I mean, I don't want
Speaker 1: to step on too much of what you guys got
Speaker 1: go on the rest of the show, but I will say, yeah,
Speaker 1: step all over it, okay, but I will say all basically,
Speaker 1: they did a better job running the ball early, you know,
Speaker 1: and they they use their offensive lined up. They had
Speaker 1: a loaded jumbo package on the offensive line to kind
Speaker 1: of get that going a little bit. That worked. Zeke
Speaker 1: at one point was averaging almost five yards of carry
Speaker 1: despite being banged up. That's encouraging, but the passing game
Speaker 1: still needs a lot of work, and Dak Prescott admits that,
Speaker 1: you know, and like you referenced with the two interceptions,
Speaker 1: I don't know where he's going with the ball. You know,
Speaker 1: it's it's misplaced passing, but it's also how well you
Speaker 1: see in the field. I don't think he saw Holcom
Speaker 1: on the interception, so and I think he was a
Speaker 1: he was a tick late there. Dalton Schultz was open.
Speaker 1: So there's just things like that, you know. There's there's
Speaker 1: always more than one reason why the offense isn't clicking,
Speaker 1: and recently it's been Look, they've been missing guys. I
Speaker 1: think that was a factor. But they got guys back
Speaker 1: now and it's still not in sync where it needs
Speaker 1: to be. So you can't really use that as an excuse. Robbie,
Speaker 1: if you had the point to one one reason, one
Speaker 1: flaw as to why we are having a flutter offensively,
Speaker 1: and what would you what would you put your finger on? Well,
Speaker 1: I was actually going to ask you because I think
Speaker 1: the former quarterback on the show the quarterback on the show,
Speaker 1: because I don't. We were talking about this postgame press
Speaker 1: box ride home, Dak was asked about it. What's the
Speaker 1: reason for the issues he's having? Is he just not
Speaker 1: seeing the field well enough? I mean, I think ultimately,
Speaker 1: when it all comes down to it, there's other factors.
Speaker 1: But he's got to play at his best, and when
Speaker 1: he's at his best, this offense is unstoppable. But what
Speaker 1: we saw yesterday was he was just off more than anything.
Speaker 1: I thought the protection was better than it's been in
Speaker 1: recent weeks. All right, Rob, we're gonna say goodbye to
Speaker 1: you and we'll talk to you again tomorrow. Have a
Speaker 1: safe trip back. Thanks for her calling in and having
Speaker 1: some fun with us. Thanks, guys, I appreciate it. The
Speaker 1: Great Rob p Island as always out in the airport
Speaker 1: and we always had to get his voice and get
Speaker 1: him on the show. But he brought up some very
Speaker 1: good points about this offense and the flutter what would
Speaker 1: you do to ask er to answer your own question
Speaker 1: about what what is wrong with the offense? What would
Speaker 1: be that number one thing you pointed to. I think
Speaker 1: our run game was better. We still have to be
Speaker 1: better offensively on underground. I think we still need to
Speaker 1: initiate a better, more consistent, more dominant run game. I
Speaker 1: think that's still even with all of our offensive weapons
Speaker 1: at the receiver in position. I think the root in
Speaker 1: the core of our of this of this offense is
Speaker 1: still the run game. So they have to figure out
Speaker 1: a way to become more consistent there to take some
Speaker 1: of the stress off a deck. In terms of Dak,
Speaker 1: Dak's just not playing well. That's that's there's no skating
Speaker 1: around it. I've been saying it for I don't know
Speaker 1: how many weeks now, Um, I've been the bad guy
Speaker 1: when I'm not said that. But the facts are. You know,
Speaker 1: our third down percentage has suffered because Dak hasn't been
Speaker 1: that great efficient throwing the ball. Um, Dak has a
Speaker 1: seventy five point five average QB rating over the last
Speaker 1: four games. That's that's what the stats show. I know
Speaker 1: I'm not a stats guy, but that's that's what it
Speaker 1: shows his mechanics are off, his decision making is off.
Speaker 1: He's a little bit delay his decision making when he
Speaker 1: does decide to throw the ball us he's not mechanically
Speaker 1: um or you know, sound. So, I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 1: There's a lot that you can really point to. Overall,
Speaker 1: he has to take a deep dive into himself and say, hey,
Speaker 1: what the heck is going on? Because after that last interception,
Speaker 1: just even an expression on his face, he looked like
Speaker 1: he was almost lost. What what does that tell you
Speaker 1: when you see a quarterback loss though, overwhelmed, really overwhelmed.
Speaker 1: I don't know if he gets I don't know. I
Speaker 1: don't know. If I don't know, I mean, we don't
Speaker 1: know what's going on in his life either. I mean,
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a whole lot of sh Everybody has stressors.
Speaker 1: Everybody has stressors that that throws them off their game
Speaker 1: in work, right, if we come in some days we're
Speaker 1: not on top of our game, you know, because the
Speaker 1: things we have going on at home, or the stressors
Speaker 1: with other other things with responsibilities we have. So we
Speaker 1: don't know what's all going on with him, but we
Speaker 1: do see the result of whatever is going on with him,
Speaker 1: whether that be mental, whether that be physical, whether that
Speaker 1: be the demands, whether whatever that is, it's it's carrying
Speaker 1: over to the field, and it is affecting his ability
Speaker 1: to play at the level of that we expect him
Speaker 1: to play at the level they he expects himself to play.
Speaker 1: What do you think I'm gonna go with that? Because
Speaker 1: I feel as though the first interception mechanics bad, trying
Speaker 1: to fit the ball in between two defenders and the
Speaker 1: seals on you. That's easy, right. The second one you
Speaker 1: didn't see the guy del Rio went from from man
Speaker 1: to man under and you didn't see fifty five Lurkin, right,
Speaker 1: And that's that's something that is as an NFL quarterback
Speaker 1: you can't do. But you see it happen weekend and
Speaker 1: week out. We knew that this defense did not handle
Speaker 1: the quick pass as well. So a lot of time
Speaker 1: what we're doing, we're doing trying those five yard passes
Speaker 1: and hoping that we get yack on them. Those things
Speaker 1: weren't happening for us either. My major concern if we're
Speaker 1: gonna have one on a victory Monday, it's gonna be
Speaker 1: red zone efficiency. That's it. And I think red zone efficiency.
Speaker 1: A lot of the who's culpable is the offensive coordinator
Speaker 1: as well. I think I think we have to be
Speaker 1: better with our play design and play call. I don't
Speaker 1: know if they were trying to save something because you
Speaker 1: go to play this team again, But at the same time,
Speaker 1: I just felt this though offensively it never actually got
Speaker 1: going right. I just felt this though. Look even from
Speaker 1: the beginning, even when we kicked the first field goal,
Speaker 1: I'm like, damn, we kept the ball five minutes and
Speaker 1: now we're kicking the field goal. Here we go again
Speaker 1: with this and obviously you're going to length of the
Speaker 1: field and you're doing some great things offensively. Stat Wise,
Speaker 1: we talked about where the running game needs to be.
Speaker 1: It's the red zone. If we can't we get down
Speaker 1: there that many times and we're not able to actually
Speaker 1: get that in one of six in the red zone,
Speaker 1: there are your points right there. If you're scoring those points,
Speaker 1: then nobody's even talking about how Dak looked, even if
Speaker 1: he plays the game that he's playing right now. If
Speaker 1: you're able to turn around and hand the ball to
Speaker 1: Corey Clemming and he runs in and for a touchdown,
Speaker 1: that kind of band aids some of the woes that
Speaker 1: you're having. But how about this. We hadn't been We've
Speaker 1: been talking about Dak and MVP caliber type of performances,
Speaker 1: and now we have an adjustment by defenses, and obviously
Speaker 1: some mechanics are calf or whatever's going on with him.
Speaker 1: Right now, the offense has time right now with the
Speaker 1: lex four weeks to catch up and catch fire at
Speaker 1: least get back in the rhythm. He hadn't had your
Speaker 1: your wide receivers, your running back has been hurt for
Speaker 1: a lot of this this run. I saw a team
Speaker 1: yesterday that literally knew that they had punched that team
Speaker 1: in the mouth. They were finished twenty four zero and
Speaker 1: one thing. And I don't know if you agree with
Speaker 1: this or not. Sometimes when you're a young team, you
Speaker 1: have to you have to learn how to win, especially
Speaker 1: when it's not a back and forth. You got them down,
Speaker 1: you took your foot off the gas, You let him
Speaker 1: back in this game. No, No, that's that's that's facts.
Speaker 1: But I don't I'm not gonna take the pressure off
Speaker 1: off a dack because I wouldn't take the pressure off
Speaker 1: of myself if I was in that same position. And
Speaker 1: the reality you're a quarterback in the NFL for the
Speaker 1: number one franchise. Absolutely, and I'm not gonna say anything disrespectful,
Speaker 1: but Dak is not playing well at all, and he
Speaker 1: knows that. He knows that if it was me out there,
Speaker 1: it would be the same way. I'll be sitting there
Speaker 1: watching film like crazy, what the heck is going on
Speaker 1: with me? There was at least two more paths that
Speaker 1: should have been intercepted, that should have been intercepted. We
Speaker 1: could say it should have, could have, would have, but
Speaker 1: the reality is he threw the ball to the into
Speaker 1: in the chest of two other players and they just
Speaker 1: to drop the ball right, So there should have been
Speaker 1: four interceptions. So when you start thinking about the what
Speaker 1: should happen? What could have been? I could have put
Speaker 1: my team in a really bad position, in a really
Speaker 1: bad position. As we started going back into into some
Speaker 1: of the some of the stat lines that he's had,
Speaker 1: he's he's what fifty eight on the fifty eight forty
Speaker 1: fifty eight, seventy something, all these all these quarterback ratings,
Speaker 1: it's just bad. Right again, these QBR ratings has just
Speaker 1: been bad. The third down offficiency, we're thirty eight percent
Speaker 1: on third down. That's bad. And that was one of
Speaker 1: our better ones. That was one of our better better
Speaker 1: conversions seven of eighteen two two or thirteen last week. Ye,
Speaker 1: I mean this is a problem. These are these are
Speaker 1: red flags, these are Hey, they addressed this. And if
Speaker 1: you don't address this, don't talk about the playoffs because
Speaker 1: you you'll be satisfied to get there. But you want
Speaker 1: to get past the first round. Oh, we're gonna see it.
Speaker 1: About that. I'm just saying, if you continue to play
Speaker 1: like this, you playoff football, jumps up stages, just leaps
Speaker 1: and bounds. But let me this is my question. When
Speaker 1: you have teams that have won the Super Bowl and
Speaker 1: at this point in the season, you can go back
Speaker 1: and lets you go back to TV twelve last year,
Speaker 1: seventy five at this time and they had to had
Speaker 1: no running game, no passing game, and they looked like
Speaker 1: they were dead in the water. They re established the
Speaker 1: running game, their defense picks up the armor and it
Speaker 1: carries them through. Tom Brady gets a lot of their credit,
Speaker 1: but it was what their defense did at the end
Speaker 1: of the of the year and their running game we
Speaker 1: give a lot of credit. We're on Ezekiel Elliott about everything,
Speaker 1: but except for the fact that this offense is top
Speaker 1: five offensively, we're top ten in the running game. Where's
Speaker 1: the disconnect where I mean, you don't like stats, but
Speaker 1: they are what they are, all right. If this man
Speaker 1: is having a few bad games and he needs to
Speaker 1: get it together, I think we all trust that Dak
Speaker 1: is the quarterback that can get it together. Unless he's hurting.
Speaker 1: It's something going on that we don't know about. I
Speaker 1: think you guys are more on the same page. They
Speaker 1: give me a second for just to kind of rebuttal
Speaker 1: this back and forth. Because you're saying they can figure
Speaker 1: it out. You're saying they need to figure it out.
Speaker 1: I completely agree on both accounts. But the stats early on,
Speaker 1: with the explosion of offense, or why you were ranked
Speaker 1: right where you ranked at the moment. You're not ranked
Speaker 1: there because of the last six games. Yeah, you're ranked
Speaker 1: there because of the first set. You can't but you
Speaker 1: can't take that away though, No, you can't. But you
Speaker 1: can get back to that, and we expect to get
Speaker 1: back to that. The Cowboys expect to get there, but
Speaker 1: they haven't been the last six weeks. That's a month
Speaker 1: and a half of the season where they haven't played well,
Speaker 1: you can disregard it. I mean, in a clear comparison
Speaker 1: between Dallas Cowboys this year and Tampa Bay last year.
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay had had a new new quarterback, with a
Speaker 1: new system, with a new coach trying to figure out
Speaker 1: offense and some receivers that he'd had nothing, no idea about.
Speaker 1: That was their situation last year, and they continually got
Speaker 1: stronger as a year progress. This is the same coach,
Speaker 1: the same quarterback, same everything. They've had some injuries, the
Speaker 1: Cowboys have been a lot more than more of this team.
Speaker 1: Everybody was out there yesterday, correct, sure, offensive for TP
Speaker 1: everybody was out there. Yes, everybody was out there. So
Speaker 1: they lose both of your tackles along the way. That
Speaker 1: lost both of your tackles along the way. But they
Speaker 1: were missing both of their defensive ends, one of their
Speaker 1: premier defensive alignment. They were missing their dogs too. So
Speaker 1: in terms of our ability to dominate, we should have
Speaker 1: dominated offensively. We should have I agree. I mean, look, kids,
Speaker 1: the thing I have a hard I have a hard
Speaker 1: time at nine and four right now, um, and hey
Speaker 1: being objective, all right, this was a game that I
Speaker 1: went into saying we had to dominate them. It didn't
Speaker 1: matter defensive line, offensive line. We had to establish and
Speaker 1: meet them. Okay, I felt this though physically we did that.
Speaker 1: We did that on defense. I think, yeah, we did
Speaker 1: that on defense. Offensively, you were you were dominating at
Speaker 1: the first half. You had some jumbo packages. I mean
Speaker 1: you still rush for one hundred and twenty two yards.
Speaker 1: You needed a hundred, you got it. You still got it,
Speaker 1: you know, And so I understand the passing game. Dad
Speaker 1: doesn't look like MVP for him. There are some some
Speaker 1: throws that he damned sure, definitely miss. Okay, but when
Speaker 1: you pull out a victory like this, and you can
Speaker 1: say as a team that this we can't separate the
Speaker 1: offense from the defense. We could critique and say, all right, well, hey,
Speaker 1: we gotta get better. But this was a team win,
Speaker 1: especially when you have a defense that gutted it out
Speaker 1: the way that they did. Even when he turned the
Speaker 1: ball over, here comes Randy Gregory tipping the ball up
Speaker 1: to him. I mean, guys are making plays, and so
Speaker 1: this is a team win, It's all I'm saying. And
Speaker 1: Dak and Dak if we know anything about Dak. The
Speaker 1: one thing about that one interception at the end of
Speaker 1: the game. That is uncustomary for Dad. He does not
Speaker 1: throw dumb interceptions like that. And we saw one of
Speaker 1: the three games that he's had less than one hundred
Speaker 1: passer rating over the last four games. Okay, this game
Speaker 1: he had two yards pass and one touchdown, two interceptions,
Speaker 1: fifty eight point eight agains duralness two hundred thirty eight
Speaker 1: yards passing and one touchdown, one interceptions, seventy nine rating
Speaker 1: against Las Vegas bought out three seventy five, two touchdowns,
Speaker 1: zero interceptions, one or six point three. It didn't go
Speaker 1: back to KC two sixteen, zero touchdowns, two interceptions, fifty
Speaker 1: seven point nine. So he's had one game. Is I
Speaker 1: would agree with you if this was a one game
Speaker 1: or two game team. This is really occurring. This is
Speaker 1: something that is compounding as you need to be getting
Speaker 1: stronger towards the end of the season. So nine to
Speaker 1: four you feel good, that's awesome. That don't mean crap
Speaker 1: when you go on a three or four games stretch
Speaker 1: that you need as soon as as soon as the
Speaker 1: regular season ends. Yeah, I mean there's good points on
Speaker 1: both sides. I agree with both of your thought process.
Speaker 1: Because you're nine and four, you feel good. You're at
Speaker 1: top of the division. You got to find a way, though,
Speaker 1: to peak at the right time, and you're not peaking
Speaker 1: right now defensively, you are. Let's talk about that when
Speaker 1: we come back, because the defense is peaking. When we
Speaker 1: come back, I'm gonna tell you why this is the
Speaker 1: most exciting defense in the entire NFL. Right when we
Speaker 1: come back, you're on talking cowboys. There's nothing as unique

Speaker 1: Welcome back into Talking Cowboys. Did you slim up your wallet?
Speaker 1: It even looks flatter this week now. I'm a little
Speaker 1: bit slimmer, did you? Did you clean it out a
Speaker 1: little bit over the weekend? Are you talking about a
Speaker 1: little winter cleaning? My encyclopedia is back in my bag
Speaker 1: back there. Yeah, I needed where it can go over
Speaker 1: my shoulder a little any pack, Yeah, exactly right. All right,
Speaker 1: we've got heck My Harrison, Isaiah stanback, Chris Beam in
Speaker 1: the back. I'm Kyle Yeoman's and we were talking about
Speaker 1: the offense. But we're gonna stay positive for the remainder
Speaker 1: of this show because the Cowboys got a big win
Speaker 1: twenty seven to nothing, or excuse me, I wish it
Speaker 1: was twenty seven to nine. Twenty seven to twenty. It
Speaker 1: could have very easily should be should have been that,
Speaker 1: but a second half charge from the Washington football team
Speaker 1: at least made it a ball game. But let's talk
Speaker 1: about the defense. Maybe I believe at this point in
Speaker 1: the season, there is no defense more exciting to watch
Speaker 1: in the entire NFL than the Dallas Cowboys team. Speed, pressure, swagger,
Speaker 1: scoring touchdowns, defensive touchdowns on multiple occasions. We had a
Speaker 1: back to back games with a scoop and score back
Speaker 1: to back games with an interception of a defensive lineman
Speaker 1: that's never happened in Cowboys history. Then you got guys
Speaker 1: like Michael Parsons star not just a rookie talent, No,
Speaker 1: he is a star in this league already with two
Speaker 1: more sacks, a forced fumble that resulted in a touchdown.
Speaker 1: And then you've got Treyvon Diggs leading the NFL in
Speaker 1: interceptions and he almost had a couple more yea for today.
Speaker 1: So do you agree with that fact of this is
Speaker 1: the most exciting defense in the entire league right now?
Speaker 1: They've made some strides, They're doing some good things. I
Speaker 1: love to see where they are right now. Getting turnovers
Speaker 1: is special. I think there's questions been asking, hey, man,
Speaker 1: if can they continue this of getting turnovers like this
Speaker 1: each and every game? And they have LVE. We had
Speaker 1: a where is LVE sign around here and I think
Speaker 1: we found fifty five five showed up. He had some
Speaker 1: really physical plays that he was making it the line
Speaker 1: of scrimming, some things that he did in past protection.
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, man, there are some there are things.
Speaker 1: There are guys that are stepping up. But still, Anthony Brown, Please,
Speaker 1: when the ball hit your hands like that, man, you
Speaker 1: gotta get the interception, you gotta get it. Yeah, to
Speaker 1: go right through his hands that hey, you talking about.
Speaker 1: Heinecke was trying to give up a lot of them turnovers.
Speaker 1: Yesterday he had one throw that hit like three different
Speaker 1: defenders dogs. So come on now, I don't hold Heineken
Speaker 1: prats got out of the same freaking Okay, okay, I
Speaker 1: just make sure that wasn't a comparison. No, hold on,
Speaker 1: hold on drug test me. Yeah, I'll just wait a minute. No,
Speaker 1: these guys are bawling. Anytime that you can identify two
Speaker 1: to one or two guys at every level of your
Speaker 1: defense that you could say, I this is these guys
Speaker 1: are problems. I think you're in a good position, and
Speaker 1: you you pair that up with the fact that dan
Speaker 1: Quinn is a heck of a coordinator. He knows how
Speaker 1: to put his guys in position to be successful. It's
Speaker 1: a great pairing. It's it's one thing to have talent,
Speaker 1: it's another thing to know how to utilize your talent. Right.
Speaker 1: It's just like resources, just like anybody has living their life.
Speaker 1: If you have a great network but you never utilize them,
Speaker 1: they might as well not even have it. So he
Speaker 1: dan Quinn knows how to utilize these guys, and he
Speaker 1: knows how to create mismatches, create ISOs so that these
Speaker 1: guys can win their individual matchups, which in turn help
Speaker 1: the entire defense out. These guys are playing well, the
Speaker 1: defensive line looks amazing. You got de Law killing a
Speaker 1: Gallamore show one out, and then you got and you
Speaker 1: got Gregory. You got three guys, and there's a bunch
Speaker 1: of other guys that are making play too, but there's
Speaker 1: three guys that you definitely have to circle when you
Speaker 1: play these guys and be like you, we need to
Speaker 1: know where these guys are. Then you go to the
Speaker 1: second level. You got Michael Parsons making a play making plays.
Speaker 1: He's obviously up there. He should be up for the
Speaker 1: downing for the defensive MVP and put him in the
Speaker 1: category with the whole MVP because that dude is making
Speaker 1: an impact everywhere. Every time he s it's almost every
Speaker 1: show we have going along, it's like, yeah, Rookie of
Speaker 1: the Year, we're gonna be there. It's like, okay, now,
Speaker 1: Rookie Year of the Year. It's wrapped up. He fits
Speaker 1: the Player of the Year. You're great, Okay, let's let's
Speaker 1: just keep going. Now you're throwing him in the like
Speaker 1: MVP caliber topic. That's the way he's playing has to
Speaker 1: And then you look in the secondary and you have
Speaker 1: Curse showing up, and then you obviously have digs and yeah,
Speaker 1: I know Diggs was pitched yesterday. He should have had
Speaker 1: a pick. But as as again, as you start facing
Speaker 1: these teams, who who are they? Who are they gonna
Speaker 1: have to circle and say how are we gonna deal
Speaker 1: with these guys? That's what we expected. Offensively, whenever we
Speaker 1: play teams, we say, okay, there's no way that you
Speaker 1: can match everybody that we put out there on against you. Right,
Speaker 1: we got Dak, we got Zeke, we got TP we got,
Speaker 1: we got all the resources. You can't guard all of us.
Speaker 1: And now it's becoming the same thing on defense. It's
Speaker 1: like you can't key on one of us. And I
Speaker 1: love the selflessness of this defense and the credit that
Speaker 1: they all give each other in the interviews and talking
Speaker 1: about you know how it's a it's a team thing,
Speaker 1: and Micah's pointing to the same thing, and Tank being
Speaker 1: an established veteran in this league, he's moving all around
Speaker 1: left and right. It was one point where it was
Speaker 1: five on five and everybody had to win an individual matchup,
Speaker 1: as you just talked about. And there's for offenses even
Speaker 1: when you go into the playoffs. I don't care who
Speaker 1: you face. They have to worry about that. They have
Speaker 1: to worry about that, I believe also from Malie Cooker,
Speaker 1: he had that one the penalty. I don't know how
Speaker 1: you play defense anymore. I mean he turned to the side.
Speaker 1: If he could have legit cleaned his clock, if he
Speaker 1: came across his face, but he didn't. But he still
Speaker 1: we still got fifteen yards on that. He was like
Speaker 1: on his way out of bounds. Why that's getting soft?
Speaker 1: I just I don't know. That was but all in all.
Speaker 1: I mean, I just love the ball hawking ability, and
Speaker 1: it just felt like these guys were when it got
Speaker 1: to third down, it was like a party. It's like, man,
Speaker 1: they come in, Yeah, oh they coming if it's third
Speaker 1: and eighty and may they coming out to you. And
Speaker 1: I think that's what makes this this season so exciting.
Speaker 1: It is in the past. I mean, it is not
Speaker 1: out of the ordinary for everyone to kind of perk up,
Speaker 1: kind of turn there and put their snacks down, kind
Speaker 1: of look at the TV a little bit more intently.
Speaker 1: When the Cowboys offense takes the field, you see Dak
Speaker 1: Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott and Mary Cooper trotting out to
Speaker 1: the huddle. Now you you do the exact same thing
Speaker 1: for the defense. You see Michael Parsons coming out off
Speaker 1: the sidelines to Marcus Lawrence, Randy Gregory. You perk up
Speaker 1: a little bit, You kind of get more intense because
Speaker 1: you know something's about to happen. Which unit are you
Speaker 1: more excited to watch right now? Offense or defense? Defense?
Speaker 1: For sure? I agree, h I hope it changes. I
Speaker 1: hope the offense catches right back right now, right this second.
Speaker 1: It's definitely the I mean and I'm gonna say the
Speaker 1: defense because I feel like I'm watching something special. Every
Speaker 1: time a Levin is on the field, he's gonna you know,
Speaker 1: he's gonna do something that's strip fumble that led to
Speaker 1: a touchdown. That's just man heinek right now, he hurting man.
Speaker 1: He in a hot tu right now behind that because
Speaker 1: Michael put his the full weight of that eleven owners
Speaker 1: drove him into the carpet man slow motion as we're talking.
Speaker 1: And nine and a half sacks in the last six games.
Speaker 1: It's time most by a rookie since O'Neill back in
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty six. So, I mean, it seems like every
Speaker 1: game we're getting those stats that haven't happened in forty
Speaker 1: years from Michael Parsons. He's a generational type of player.
Speaker 1: At this very moment, he is on that track. He's
Speaker 1: got a long career ahead of him. Hopefully he's got
Speaker 1: a long career going. But in terms of rookie seasons
Speaker 1: by a defender, it's hard to match what Michael Parsons did.
Speaker 1: But it's awesome. Again, I mean, as great as Michael
Speaker 1: Parsons is, as great as these other guys are. Again,
Speaker 1: it keeps going back to dan Quinn, not only are
Speaker 1: the are these guys talented, they're super talented and they're
Speaker 1: super hungry. But dan Quinn knows how to get these
Speaker 1: guys in those situations Micah Parsons versus a right guard.
Speaker 1: He's confident with that. So guess what, I'm gonna make
Speaker 1: sure that you have that one on one matchup. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna make sure I'll put you in a position to
Speaker 1: have that opportunity to beat that man one on one.
Speaker 1: D Law, you think you could beat that that that tackle, Okay, cool,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make sure that that schematical scheme wise that
Speaker 1: you're gonna have that ISO all day long against that door.
Speaker 1: All these third downs when you really need to go hunt, Gregory,
Speaker 1: you want that same thing perfect all right' gonna run
Speaker 1: a stunt so that you can come in and beat
Speaker 1: that guard too. So he is literally just just creating
Speaker 1: these plays where these guys have these opportunities to go
Speaker 1: out and show what they're capable of. It's it's organized
Speaker 1: and it's schemed up, but it almost reminds me of
Speaker 1: backyard football, yeah, of football in the street of Heckma's
Speaker 1: going up against this guy from the from the side,
Speaker 1: or from the street down or the block down the road,
Speaker 1: and he looks up at anything else. I got you
Speaker 1: like it looks him in the eye. I've gotten that
Speaker 1: look from Heckma a couple times. I've got you one
Speaker 1: said it's happening and then bam and then Heckma's got
Speaker 1: that matchup. He knows he's gonna happen, and he's got
Speaker 1: a strip, sack fumble and he's right and run in
Speaker 1: the other direction. But you know, guys, they'll take much
Speaker 1: for me to up out of the cake. But I
Speaker 1: said that at the beginning of the week. You know,
Speaker 1: I didn't expect for time Taylor Heineke to have any success.
Speaker 1: I don't. I think he's a he's a marginal quarterback. Uh.
Speaker 1: And he smelled exactly like you should have that whole game,
Speaker 1: like the dump truck. We put him in his proper place.
Speaker 1: We talk about them in their four game winning streak
Speaker 1: that they were on, and we tried to make them
Speaker 1: bigger than what they were. The carriage turned back into
Speaker 1: a pumpkin in front of our eyes. And now everybody
Speaker 1: has to understand, look, oh, this is a game, divisional game.
Speaker 1: When you win a divisional game on the road. That
Speaker 1: means something. No matter how you you could, you could
Speaker 1: red flag this red flag that you got the w
Speaker 1: all right, and now you go to New York and
Speaker 1: you got it whether it's three zero, How have you
Speaker 1: pull these games out? This exactly what you have to
Speaker 1: do with this at this point in time. But my
Speaker 1: question I had to ask you. Have you ever been
Speaker 1: a part of a game where in the first half
Speaker 1: it's just like this over with, we got these boys.
Speaker 1: It's like that. It's hard to play like that. Absolutely, Wait,
Speaker 1: you're saying playing up like that and you're playing down.
Speaker 1: It's hard to play up. It's hard when you're when
Speaker 1: you're up by a good margin and you're dominating you
Speaker 1: you're dominating. It's hard to keep that going. But it
Speaker 1: is necessary to keep it going because you're playing professionals.
Speaker 1: You're playing professionals, and if you ease up off the gas,
Speaker 1: you saw what happened, Yes, you saw what happens. The
Speaker 1: other team games momentum. Now all of a sudden, you're
Speaker 1: it's just like racing somebody. If you're racing somebody, you're
Speaker 1: killing them, right and boom and all of a sudden
Speaker 1: you pull up because you know you got another thirty
Speaker 1: yards and you're just coast and here comes to a
Speaker 1: dog on the same boat. He's oh crap, now you're
Speaker 1: trying to kick it back in gear. Momentums already rolling.
Speaker 1: That's what happened when Barry Church beat you in that race. Wow. No,
Speaker 1: that's that's definitely a metaphor. No, no, that wouldn't happen. Sorry, BC.
Speaker 1: All right, let's take our second break. When we come back,
Speaker 1: we have our fun segment, one of our favorite segments

Speaker 1: sticker on the entire sheet, Yes, to try and put
Speaker 1: on the on the helmet. So we've got our smelly stickers.
Speaker 1: This week, we'll get Robs put in here as well.

Speaker 1: we always do. Who you got for your first smelly sticker? Well,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I'm going to tell you about.
Speaker 1: A guy that we were waiting to get back in
Speaker 1: number ninety four has not disappointed. I am going to
Speaker 1: give you a banana, because yesterday you were bananas on
Speaker 1: the field. And that's mister Randy Gregory. Yes, indeed, yes, indeed.
Speaker 1: Having all three of those guys back, we talked about
Speaker 1: the possibilities, we really did, and we knew that it
Speaker 1: was going to make an impact, right, Yeah, we didn't
Speaker 1: know it was going to explode. And that's what they
Speaker 1: did yesterday with the five sacks, four takeaways, and man
Speaker 1: was it exciting to watch. All Right? I said, who
Speaker 1: you got? I'm still trying to figure out which one
Speaker 1: of these is going to represent him? Okay, all right,
Speaker 1: let's go ahead and roll with this one. Um, I
Speaker 1: am gonna go with this one right here. Oh a
Speaker 1: little tiny little You went from the biggest sticker on
Speaker 1: the board that maybe the little the smallest one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what is that? It's a it's a it's a pineapple
Speaker 1: with a backpack. Okay, cool, he has a backpack on
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna give this to Neville Gallimore, all right,
Speaker 1: the biggest guy. Um, but he carried a team like
Speaker 1: a jam sport yesterday and I and I honestly believe
Speaker 1: that his presence allowed for a lot of our guys
Speaker 1: the ball out yesterday. He came in. He was doing
Speaker 1: his due, um after a long time off. This is preseason.
Speaker 1: We haven't seen this dude right since Arizona game. Um.
Speaker 1: And he came back ready to play, in shape right
Speaker 1: and ready to make an impact. And he brought everybody
Speaker 1: on like a jam sport and not everybody to make play.
Speaker 1: So there you got a chance, sport. Put it on
Speaker 1: that other side of the hell on this bout your
Speaker 1: big old strawberry. Who you go with, Kyle, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go with this little cake pop right here. It's a
Speaker 1: little little pink cake pop. I don't know what kind
Speaker 1: of cake pop it is. It might be red velvet,
Speaker 1: I don't know. It may be vanilla. But we know
Speaker 1: it was exciting because it popped Trump or excuse me,
Speaker 1: Taylor Heineke a couple times. That's mister Micah Parsons hate
Speaker 1: for a loss. Oh did you stick it to the desk.
Speaker 1: It's just this is not gonna be good. Chris is
Speaker 1: gonna get after me. I'm sorry. I'll get it fixed,
Speaker 1: I promise, But now I'm gonna find another cake pop
Speaker 1: Derek Seed, isn't it? Yeah? It is? And he's coming
Speaker 1: up next. I think maybe, I don't know. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: figure it out. I'm gonna find another cake Pop, but
Speaker 1: it's going to Michael Parsons because he had a couple
Speaker 1: of sacks and of course the Forest Fumble and company.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna let Michael Parsons get that cake popties Monday,
Speaker 1: heineke on a victory Monday. I did not want to
Speaker 1: stick this to the table more than it's already stunk.
Speaker 1: All right, Rob Phillips is going with another defensive lineman. No,
Speaker 1: no surprise, we're going with the front seven here, front
Speaker 1: seven across the board. He went with DeMarcus Lawrence. How
Speaker 1: about that little d law action. Second game back, he
Speaker 1: has a sack and that was I don't know what
Speaker 1: it was about that sack, but it felt special. It
Speaker 1: did it? Am I alone in that regard. I felt
Speaker 1: like he getting a sack after the long time off
Speaker 1: and not having a sack for a while. I feel
Speaker 1: left out, Yeah, gaining in on the act. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think he felt a little left out. Not this time. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: you're gonna let me not in this one. So no, man,
Speaker 1: and like like you we've talked about this entire segment. Guys,
Speaker 1: it's it's defense built us out um offense. Man, they
Speaker 1: got work to do. I would agree with that. I
Speaker 1: think Dad can definitely be better. Isaiah. I don't know
Speaker 1: if it's the mechanics, if it's if he's hurting, if
Speaker 1: it's the calf, what's going on? But you have obviously
Speaker 1: enough to say his QB off from here to there
Speaker 1: has been slipping because of something. Yeah, what that something is.
Speaker 1: We're gonna have to figure it out. We are gonna
Speaker 1: have to figure it out. Luckily, it's not our job
Speaker 1: to figure it out. We got a lot of smart
Speaker 1: people on the other side of the building that can
Speaker 1: do but it was hard job. No, we don't have
Speaker 1: anything to do with the game, didn't you know that?
Speaker 1: That's okay. We'll talk to the fans tomorrow, though, how
Speaker 1: about that they have something to do with the game. Sometimes,
Speaker 1: we've got Cowboys Nations calls on the way for a
Speaker 1: Talking Tuesday. You can go ahead and line us up,
Speaker 1: give us a call at eighty eight eight five five
Speaker 1: two two nine seven. We're gonna take fan calls tomorrow
Speaker 1: on a talking Tuesday, a victory talking Tuesday. As the
Speaker 1: Cowboys are nine and four, and they are on top
Speaker 1: of the NFC East three games to play, or excuse me,
Speaker 1: three games up. With four games to play, Cowboys can
Speaker 1: lock up the division as soon as the game against
Speaker 1: Washington in week sixteen. So that's gonna do it for us.
Speaker 1: Here on to Talking Cowboys today for Chris Bean doing
Speaker 1: great work as always, Isaiah stand back, het My Harrison,
Speaker 1: Ron Phillips on the road, I'm Kyle Yeoman saying so long,
Speaker 1: We'll see you tomorrow. I'm Talking Cowboys. This has been
