We've got heck My Harrison, We've got Isaiah 0:01:15.680 --> 0:01:19.600 stand back. Rob Phillips is actually stuck in Washington, but 0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:21.760 we're gonna get him on the phone coming up here 0:01:21.800 --> 0:01:24.319 in just a little bit. I'm Kyle Yeoman's and gentlemen, 0:01:24.840 --> 0:01:27.400 it feels great for it to be another victory Monday. 0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:30.120 It feels good. No such thing as a bad victory. 0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:32.640 It feels really it feels real good, Kyle, to be 0:01:32.800 --> 0:01:35.720 nine and four and your defense to pull one out 0:01:35.760 --> 0:01:40.160 for you again again. And that's something. And that's something 0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:42.120 I'm telling you words that you didn't even think about 0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:45.160 saying last year. Not even think about that, think about that. 0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:49.160 This was the same defense that was historically bad for 0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:51.720 your franchise. We've been playing football at the Cowboys for 0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:55.040 sixty years and they hadn't had a worse defense than that. 0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:58.360 This is the scaff years, lock out all of that, ye, 0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:01.800 and your defense is pulled out two for you. I'll 0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:03.880 take it. You can't even argue that it's been more 0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:06.000 than two, but definitely two in a row. Two in 0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:09.000 a row, Yeah, no doubt about it. But it was 0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:11.720 sloppy toward the end. And we're going to talk about it. 0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:14.679 It wasn't good from the offense throughout much of the game, 0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:17.680 and we're gonna talk about it. But at first, I mean, 0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:19.919 you have to give credit to where credit is due, 0:02:19.919 --> 0:02:22.280 and that is the defensive side of the football. Because 0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:27.400 they bawled out again again again. Did you expect it 0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:30.480 to come at this rate, this quickly with a dan 0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:34.800 Quinn turnaround or is this just a cherry on top. 0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:37.680 I didn't expect it to be this dominant. Um. I 0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:39.120 think if we go all the way back to when 0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:41.400 dan Quinn first got hired, you know, I think I 0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:43.000 stand on it, stood on a pedestal and said that 0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:44.760 he was going to turn this culture around. Pretty darg 0:02:44.760 --> 0:02:47.520 gone quick. I don't think anybody expected it, you know, 0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:49.919 to turn around in the way it has. In terms 0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:52.200 of these guys are being absolutely dominant. I did, but 0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:54.239 I think I thought they were going to be productive. 0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:56.440 But what you're seeing right now with the addition of 0:02:56.520 --> 0:02:59.959 Michael Parsons and Diggs playing well and all the defensive front, 0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:02.320 this front seven is absolutely It was a first game 0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:04.360 back with these guys. I'm aside from like what the 0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:06.600 thirty snaps they had prior to this game, so I 0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:08.480 mean this was this was awesome to see and these 0:03:08.520 --> 0:03:10.360 guys they showed up and showed out. All right. Let 0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:13.200 me just read off some stats because it's phenomenal. I 0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:14.920 know you're not a stats guy, as Heiah, but this 0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:18.519 tells the story. Taylor Heineke eleven of twenty five for 0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:22.840 one twenty two just one touchdown, just one interception, fifty 0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:25.680 five point eight passer rating, and that touchdown was really 0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:28.280 a heave and his receiver went up and made just 0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:31.680 a phenomenal play. Sims on the back end fifty five 0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:35.000 point eight in the rating. How about Antonio Gibson who 0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:38.080 just tore you up last year, right, I mean, one 0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:43.119 twenty one thirty one crowd served you on Thanksgiving last year. 0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:49.320 Ten rushes thirty six yards, he had a long of thirteen. 0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:51.560 Talk about it. You need to do. Isn't that great? 0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:54.000 It is great? I mean, there was really nothing going 0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:56.680 for Washington overall. They had one hundred yards on the ground, 0:03:56.840 --> 0:04:00.000 which was just kind of by committee or by committed. 0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:02.800 As the game went along, Kyle Allen had eleven of 0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:05.320 os on just that one rush, and then they had 0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:10.240 the four takeaways, four turnovers from the Washington side. And 0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:13.440 it came in different fascists, different forms, and all of 0:04:13.480 --> 0:04:17.000 those key players you wanted back on defense ECMA, they 0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:19.880 stepped up and made huge plays at different times in 0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:24.480 the game. Reunited and it feels so good talking about 0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:27.720 being man. This is um I mean, and to see 0:04:27.720 --> 0:04:30.360 them playing not only that, before we go into tank, 0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:35.480 before we go into Randy Neville Gallimore. Yes, sir man, 0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:37.880 I mean you want you have to make an immediate 0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:42.200 impact in ninety six is immediate impact on this defense. 0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:45.400 He did some things that obviously we missed out on 0:04:45.480 --> 0:04:47.680 with Urban just gobbling up blocks. But not only did 0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:50.680 he gobble up blocks. We talked all week about maintaining 0:04:50.720 --> 0:04:53.040 and dominating the line of scrimmage and how we had 0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:55.479 to meet their tempo in their pace. I think we 0:04:55.560 --> 0:04:58.200 did that. Yeah, I think we did that upfront, and 0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:00.719 we've been missing that. We've been missing. That's the complete 0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:03.600 domination by our defensive line being able to go into 0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:06.520 games and say, you know what, Nadal, Nadal not today, 0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:09.279 and that's what everybody's been asking for, and we finally 0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:12.400 get it on defense. We finally get that on defense, 0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:14.520 and you see the cast of characters that we have 0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:17.760 have back. The only thing that to me, I think 0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:19.920 when you look further down the line, all right, we're 0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:22.680 gonna have this victory Monday. But you know, look, I 0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:24.520 think there are some teams out there that have a better, 0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:27.000 better offensive lines, that have a better running game, and 0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:29.640 our guys may be a little bit lighter, but I 0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:32.240 think with the quickness that they're playing with explosiveness that 0:05:32.279 --> 0:05:35.040 they're playing with that's gonna nullify anybody they play come 0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:38.200 up against. Yeah, that defense. I mean Neville Gallimore on 0:05:38.240 --> 0:05:41.760 the sack that he had just destroyed the offense flying. 0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:44.200 He did that on a couple of occasions. And speaking 0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:47.200 of being reunited, we are reunited with Rob Phillips now 0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:50.559 on what's up thing? Rob p Island on the phone. 0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:58.000 Everybody live from Where are you at right now? Rob? Good? 0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:02.200 Like that? So good? I'm in Baltimore right now. We're 0:06:02.240 --> 0:06:05.880 about to head out and catch a flight home, maybe 0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:10.479 catch media access today. We'll see. We know your hard 0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:13.200 working as always, so I want to hear from your 0:06:13.240 --> 0:06:17.240 perspective being at the game. Was what was the atmosphere like? 0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:19.680 Because there was a lot of excitement around it, There 0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:22.200 was a lot of talk in the metropolitan area leading 0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:24.520 into it, and then of course Cowboys Nation has been 0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:27.080 excited all year long and they're always going to show out. 0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:29.800 So what was the atmosphere like and how did it 0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:33.400 evolve as the game went along? Well, we've talked about 0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:36.960 it on the show, how the Cowboys Nation is really 0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:40.280 well represented in the DC Baltimore area, and you saw 0:06:40.279 --> 0:06:42.760 it yesterday, I thought in free game. I mean, there 0:06:42.800 --> 0:06:45.640 were some later rivals with Washington fans, but there was 0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:50.599 a large segment of blue in FedEx Field, and that's 0:06:50.640 --> 0:06:53.279 that's not unusual, but it seemed a little bit more 0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:55.440 than usual. And I wonder how much of it was, 0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:59.000 you know, Washington, I think we're two and six at 0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:00.840 one point, and maybe they give some fans to give 0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:03.680 up their tickets, you know, the Cowboys fans a while back. 0:07:04.480 --> 0:07:06.520 But yeah, it was well represented. I mean, when the 0:07:06.560 --> 0:07:09.480 Cowboys are good and this is a good football team 0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:13.640 despite their issues right now at nine and four, fans 0:07:13.640 --> 0:07:16.120 are going to travel. And that's certainly what happened yesterday. 0:07:16.160 --> 0:07:17.800 And like you guys just said, the defense gave him 0:07:17.800 --> 0:07:20.320 a show. They gave him a show. And what was 0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:23.280 it like early on when it was so dominant. I mean, 0:07:23.320 --> 0:07:25.040 twenty four to nothing was the lead at the end 0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:27.560 of the first half. You really had everything working for 0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:31.160 you on defense. It was putting your offense in good scenarios. 0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:34.160 Did the crowd feed into that at all, like it 0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:38.160 was almost like a halfway home game. Yeah, absolutely, And 0:07:38.200 --> 0:07:40.040 I think yeah, kind of like a get right game 0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:42.440 is what it kind of felt like. But I mean, 0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:44.520 I know, you guys are going to get into the offense, 0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:46.880 and you know that they did have that forty one 0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:49.920 yard drive in the i think first quarter with the 0:07:50.000 --> 0:07:53.240 Marii Cooper with a touchdown, and you kind of felt like, okay, 0:07:53.440 --> 0:07:56.160 even the field goal drive early the first drive of 0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:57.680 the game, you kind of fell Okay, they're going to 0:07:57.760 --> 0:08:01.480 kind of settle in and never quite got there. But yeah, 0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:04.840 I think I think, you know, the fans were energized. 0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:07.840 I mean I kind of felt like, uh, they've they've 0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:10.680 got something rolling here. And look, you know, they came 0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:13.840 up here last year and and did not play well, 0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:16.560 missing so many key guys. So I think fans we're 0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:18.840 looking forward to that having dacked back, having all those 0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:21.880 key players back. Pete, just take me back to your 0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:24.880 seat and the booth and you're sitting there after the 0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:28.520 it is halftime. What are you what is on your mind? 0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:30.880 We're up twenty four at a zero. What are you saying? 0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:37.280 I'm saying Heck was right with his prediction. I think 0:08:37.920 --> 0:08:40.079 kind of what I was thinking. You called it. I mean, 0:08:40.080 --> 0:08:42.960 it was gonna be, you know, a beat down, and 0:08:43.840 --> 0:08:47.520 the Cowboys talent wise, are a better team. Than Washington. Uh, 0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:50.120 you know, especially with the with the players that they're 0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:53.839 missing um, but there's still it kind of felt like 0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:57.120 at halftime though there's still something missing those points. Most 0:08:57.160 --> 0:08:59.600 of those points were a product of what the defense 0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:04.240 was doing. And it's funny how when the season started 0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:07.079 we felt like, Okay, if the defense could just be improved, 0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:10.880 this offense is so good that the Cowboys are gonna 0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:13.880 win this division. Yep. Now now it's kind of like 0:09:13.960 --> 0:09:17.280 Kenny offense carry what the defense is doing right now. 0:09:17.440 --> 0:09:21.320 And look, there's there's four games left and they're you know, 0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:24.199 not four weeks ago, but a few weeks beyond that. 0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:27.160 We felt like, Okay, this offense can't be stopped. There's 0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:29.679 still time to fix it. But if we want to 0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:31.880 nitpick here and don't, I don't think it's just nitpicking. 0:09:31.920 --> 0:09:34.520 Because of the quality of the NFC, offense has got 0:09:34.520 --> 0:09:37.120 to be better, no question about it. You kind of 0:09:37.120 --> 0:09:40.600 heard that from the postgame reaction last night too. Dak 0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:42.880 said it, Zeke said it, Amari said it. I mean, 0:09:42.920 --> 0:09:45.000 everybody who talked that was on the offensive side of 0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:48.840 the football yesterday mentioned that this isn't the standard because 0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:50.679 even when you look at the stats. You go all 0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:52.560 the way up and down three hundred and twenty three 0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:55.000 yards two hundred through the year, one hundred on the ground, 0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:57.559 you only had the two takeaways. They were both pretty 0:09:57.559 --> 0:10:00.360 blatant turnovers. And we'll talk about that here up in 0:10:00.400 --> 0:10:04.160 a moment. But you feel good about the statistics of 0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:07.640 your offense, you don't feel good about the standard. That's 0:10:07.679 --> 0:10:10.160 the difference. The statistics are fine right now for an 0:10:10.160 --> 0:10:13.320 average NFL offense. This is not supposed to be an 0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:18.080 average NFL offense, right Yeah, the standard is unstoppable. That's 0:10:18.120 --> 0:10:20.480 what the standard is, because that's what they were like 0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:24.200 in October when they're putting up forty point games. And look, 0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:26.600 they had a forty point game a few weeks ago. 0:10:26.679 --> 0:10:29.920 But man, that doesn't seem that that that's the aberration 0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:33.120 of the post by seven game stretch wherever we're at 0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:37.480 right now. So, yeah, the standard is pick your poison. 0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:40.800 We can run you over, we can win any type 0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:43.040 of man coverage you want to throw at us, And 0:10:43.200 --> 0:10:45.959 right now that's not happening. I mean, I don't want 0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:47.360 to step on too much of what you guys got 0:10:47.360 --> 0:10:49.760 go on the rest of the show, but I will say, yeah, 0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:52.840 step all over it, okay, but I will say all basically, 0:10:54.440 --> 0:10:57.400 they did a better job running the ball early, you know, 0:10:57.480 --> 0:11:00.320 and they they use their offensive lined up. They had 0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:02.840 a loaded jumbo package on the offensive line to kind 0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:05.160 of get that going a little bit. That worked. Zeke 0:11:05.200 --> 0:11:07.320 at one point was averaging almost five yards of carry 0:11:07.360 --> 0:11:11.960 despite being banged up. That's encouraging, but the passing game 0:11:12.200 --> 0:11:15.200 still needs a lot of work, and Dak Prescott admits that, 0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:18.440 you know, and like you referenced with the two interceptions, 0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:21.120 I don't know where he's going with the ball. You know, 0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:27.040 it's it's misplaced passing, but it's also how well you 0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:29.040 see in the field. I don't think he saw Holcom 0:11:29.080 --> 0:11:31.559 on the interception, so and I think he was a 0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:34.480 he was a tick late there. Dalton Schultz was open. 0:11:34.760 --> 0:11:37.320 So there's just things like that, you know. There's there's 0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:40.480 always more than one reason why the offense isn't clicking, 0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:43.240 and recently it's been Look, they've been missing guys. I 0:11:43.240 --> 0:11:45.560 think that was a factor. But they got guys back 0:11:45.640 --> 0:11:48.920 now and it's still not in sync where it needs 0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:53.120 to be. So you can't really use that as an excuse. Robbie, 0:11:53.120 --> 0:11:55.520 if you had the point to one one reason, one 0:11:55.600 --> 0:11:59.280 flaw as to why we are having a flutter offensively, 0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:02.600 and what would you what would you put your finger on? Well, 0:12:02.640 --> 0:12:05.439 I was actually going to ask you because I think 0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:09.480 the former quarterback on the show the quarterback on the show, 0:12:09.520 --> 0:12:13.200 because I don't. We were talking about this postgame press 0:12:13.280 --> 0:12:19.080 box ride home, Dak was asked about it. What's the 0:12:19.160 --> 0:12:21.360 reason for the issues he's having? Is he just not 0:12:21.520 --> 0:12:24.360 seeing the field well enough? I mean, I think ultimately, 0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:26.920 when it all comes down to it, there's other factors. 0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:29.520 But he's got to play at his best, and when 0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:33.680 he's at his best, this offense is unstoppable. But what 0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:36.440 we saw yesterday was he was just off more than anything. 0:12:36.480 --> 0:12:39.120 I thought the protection was better than it's been in 0:12:39.160 --> 0:12:43.080 recent weeks. All right, Rob, we're gonna say goodbye to 0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:45.160 you and we'll talk to you again tomorrow. Have a 0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:47.720 safe trip back. Thanks for her calling in and having 0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:51.760 some fun with us. Thanks, guys, I appreciate it. The 0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:56.160 Great Rob p Island as always out in the airport 0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:59.280 and we always had to get his voice and get 0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:01.959 him on the show. But he brought up some very 0:13:01.960 --> 0:13:04.680 good points about this offense and the flutter what would 0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:07.920 you do to ask er to answer your own question 0:13:08.080 --> 0:13:10.280 about what what is wrong with the offense? What would 0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:12.480 be that number one thing you pointed to. I think 0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:14.240 our run game was better. We still have to be 0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:16.680 better offensively on underground. I think we still need to 0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:19.960 initiate a better, more consistent, more dominant run game. I 0:13:19.960 --> 0:13:22.640 think that's still even with all of our offensive weapons 0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:25.360 at the receiver in position. I think the root in 0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:27.160 the core of our of this of this offense is 0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:28.959 still the run game. So they have to figure out 0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:30.760 a way to become more consistent there to take some 0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:33.120 of the stress off a deck. In terms of Dak, 0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:36.320 Dak's just not playing well. That's that's there's no skating 0:13:36.320 --> 0:13:37.960 around it. I've been saying it for I don't know 0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:40.240 how many weeks now, Um, I've been the bad guy 0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:42.840 when I'm not said that. But the facts are. You know, 0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:45.800 our third down percentage has suffered because Dak hasn't been 0:13:45.800 --> 0:13:48.400 that great efficient throwing the ball. Um, Dak has a 0:13:48.600 --> 0:13:51.480 seventy five point five average QB rating over the last 0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:55.080 four games. That's that's what the stats show. I know 0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:56.600 I'm not a stats guy, but that's that's what it 0:13:56.600 --> 0:13:59.240 shows his mechanics are off, his decision making is off. 0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:01.440 He's a little bit delay his decision making when he 0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:04.959 does decide to throw the ball us he's not mechanically 0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:09.320 um or you know, sound. So, I mean, I don't know. 0:14:09.360 --> 0:14:11.360 There's a lot that you can really point to. Overall, 0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:13.640 he has to take a deep dive into himself and say, hey, 0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:16.200 what the heck is going on? Because after that last interception, 0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:18.240 just even an expression on his face, he looked like 0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:22.800 he was almost lost. What what does that tell you 0:14:22.840 --> 0:14:26.880 when you see a quarterback loss though, overwhelmed, really overwhelmed. 0:14:26.920 --> 0:14:28.720 I don't know if he gets I don't know. I 0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:29.920 don't know. If I don't know, I mean, we don't 0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:31.720 know what's going on in his life either. I mean, 0:14:31.760 --> 0:14:33.840 I mean, there's a whole lot of sh Everybody has stressors. 0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:36.320 Everybody has stressors that that throws them off their game 0:14:36.400 --> 0:14:38.520 in work, right, if we come in some days we're 0:14:38.560 --> 0:14:40.160 not on top of our game, you know, because the 0:14:40.160 --> 0:14:42.240 things we have going on at home, or the stressors 0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:44.800 with other other things with responsibilities we have. So we 0:14:44.840 --> 0:14:47.000 don't know what's all going on with him, but we 0:14:47.040 --> 0:14:49.200 do see the result of whatever is going on with him, 0:14:49.240 --> 0:14:51.480 whether that be mental, whether that be physical, whether that 0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:55.120 be the demands, whether whatever that is, it's it's carrying 0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:57.360 over to the field, and it is affecting his ability 0:14:57.400 --> 0:14:59.240 to play at the level of that we expect him 0:14:59.240 --> 0:15:01.600 to play at the level they he expects himself to play. 0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:05.320 What do you think I'm gonna go with that? Because 0:15:05.360 --> 0:15:11.600 I feel as though the first interception mechanics bad, trying 0:15:11.600 --> 0:15:13.480 to fit the ball in between two defenders and the 0:15:13.560 --> 0:15:16.600 seals on you. That's easy, right. The second one you 0:15:16.600 --> 0:15:19.400 didn't see the guy del Rio went from from man 0:15:19.480 --> 0:15:22.560 to man under and you didn't see fifty five Lurkin, right, 0:15:22.840 --> 0:15:25.840 And that's that's something that is as an NFL quarterback 0:15:25.840 --> 0:15:27.840 you can't do. But you see it happen weekend and 0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:31.680 week out. We knew that this defense did not handle 0:15:31.720 --> 0:15:33.800 the quick pass as well. So a lot of time 0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:36.320 what we're doing, we're doing trying those five yard passes 0:15:36.480 --> 0:15:38.880 and hoping that we get yack on them. Those things 0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:42.000 weren't happening for us either. My major concern if we're 0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:44.760 gonna have one on a victory Monday, it's gonna be 0:15:44.800 --> 0:15:48.640 red zone efficiency. That's it. And I think red zone efficiency. 0:15:48.960 --> 0:15:52.200 A lot of the who's culpable is the offensive coordinator 0:15:52.200 --> 0:15:54.480 as well. I think I think we have to be 0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:57.520 better with our play design and play call. I don't 0:15:57.560 --> 0:15:59.840 know if they were trying to save something because you 0:16:00.000 --> 0:16:03.520 go to play this team again, But at the same time, 0:16:03.800 --> 0:16:07.600 I just felt this though offensively it never actually got 0:16:07.720 --> 0:16:10.520 going right. I just felt this though. Look even from 0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:12.880 the beginning, even when we kicked the first field goal, 0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:14.760 I'm like, damn, we kept the ball five minutes and 0:16:14.840 --> 0:16:17.160 now we're kicking the field goal. Here we go again 0:16:17.280 --> 0:16:19.920 with this and obviously you're going to length of the 0:16:19.920 --> 0:16:22.600 field and you're doing some great things offensively. Stat Wise, 0:16:22.640 --> 0:16:24.600 we talked about where the running game needs to be. 0:16:25.240 --> 0:16:27.840 It's the red zone. If we can't we get down 0:16:27.880 --> 0:16:30.800 there that many times and we're not able to actually 0:16:30.840 --> 0:16:32.760 get that in one of six in the red zone, 0:16:32.920 --> 0:16:35.720 there are your points right there. If you're scoring those points, 0:16:35.840 --> 0:16:38.880 then nobody's even talking about how Dak looked, even if 0:16:38.960 --> 0:16:41.160 he plays the game that he's playing right now. If 0:16:41.160 --> 0:16:42.680 you're able to turn around and hand the ball to 0:16:42.720 --> 0:16:45.400 Corey Clemming and he runs in and for a touchdown, 0:16:45.680 --> 0:16:47.960 that kind of band aids some of the woes that 0:16:48.000 --> 0:16:51.000 you're having. But how about this. We hadn't been We've 0:16:51.040 --> 0:16:54.480 been talking about Dak and MVP caliber type of performances, 0:16:54.680 --> 0:16:58.160 and now we have an adjustment by defenses, and obviously 0:16:58.240 --> 0:17:01.200 some mechanics are calf or whatever's going on with him. 0:17:01.280 --> 0:17:04.280 Right now, the offense has time right now with the 0:17:04.400 --> 0:17:07.080 lex four weeks to catch up and catch fire at 0:17:07.119 --> 0:17:09.800 least get back in the rhythm. He hadn't had your 0:17:10.000 --> 0:17:13.840 your wide receivers, your running back has been hurt for 0:17:14.040 --> 0:17:17.000 a lot of this this run. I saw a team 0:17:17.080 --> 0:17:20.680 yesterday that literally knew that they had punched that team 0:17:20.720 --> 0:17:23.560 in the mouth. They were finished twenty four zero and 0:17:23.680 --> 0:17:25.560 one thing. And I don't know if you agree with 0:17:25.600 --> 0:17:27.840 this or not. Sometimes when you're a young team, you 0:17:27.920 --> 0:17:30.200 have to you have to learn how to win, especially 0:17:30.200 --> 0:17:32.800 when it's not a back and forth. You got them down, 0:17:33.000 --> 0:17:35.360 you took your foot off the gas, You let him 0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:37.800 back in this game. No, No, that's that's that's facts. 0:17:37.840 --> 0:17:40.119 But I don't I'm not gonna take the pressure off 0:17:40.160 --> 0:17:41.720 off a dack because I wouldn't take the pressure off 0:17:41.760 --> 0:17:43.600 of myself if I was in that same position. And 0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:45.800 the reality you're a quarterback in the NFL for the 0:17:45.880 --> 0:17:49.560 number one franchise. Absolutely, and I'm not gonna say anything disrespectful, 0:17:49.600 --> 0:17:51.880 but Dak is not playing well at all, and he 0:17:51.920 --> 0:17:53.880 knows that. He knows that if it was me out there, 0:17:53.880 --> 0:17:55.520 it would be the same way. I'll be sitting there 0:17:55.520 --> 0:17:57.639 watching film like crazy, what the heck is going on 0:17:57.720 --> 0:18:00.320 with me? There was at least two more paths that 0:18:00.359 --> 0:18:03.119 should have been intercepted, that should have been intercepted. We 0:18:03.119 --> 0:18:04.480 could say it should have, could have, would have, but 0:18:04.520 --> 0:18:07.240 the reality is he threw the ball to the into 0:18:07.359 --> 0:18:10.520 in the chest of two other players and they just 0:18:10.680 --> 0:18:12.480 to drop the ball right, So there should have been 0:18:12.520 --> 0:18:14.880 four interceptions. So when you start thinking about the what 0:18:15.040 --> 0:18:17.280 should happen? What could have been? I could have put 0:18:17.320 --> 0:18:19.760 my team in a really bad position, in a really 0:18:19.760 --> 0:18:21.960 bad position. As we started going back into into some 0:18:22.000 --> 0:18:24.040 of the some of the stat lines that he's had, 0:18:24.600 --> 0:18:29.000 he's he's what fifty eight on the fifty eight forty 0:18:29.600 --> 0:18:32.520 fifty eight, seventy something, all these all these quarterback ratings, 0:18:32.560 --> 0:18:34.840 it's just bad. Right again, these QBR ratings has just 0:18:34.880 --> 0:18:37.280 been bad. The third down offficiency, we're thirty eight percent 0:18:37.320 --> 0:18:39.800 on third down. That's bad. And that was one of 0:18:39.800 --> 0:18:42.840 our better ones. That was one of our better better 0:18:43.240 --> 0:18:46.919 conversions seven of eighteen two two or thirteen last week. Ye, 0:18:47.520 --> 0:18:49.640 I mean this is a problem. These are these are 0:18:49.760 --> 0:18:53.439 red flags, these are Hey, they addressed this. And if 0:18:53.480 --> 0:18:56.280 you don't address this, don't talk about the playoffs because 0:18:56.280 --> 0:18:58.000 you you'll be satisfied to get there. But you want 0:18:58.080 --> 0:18:59.760 to get past the first round. Oh, we're gonna see it. 0:18:59.760 --> 0:19:02.200 About that. I'm just saying, if you continue to play 0:19:02.240 --> 0:19:06.720 like this, you playoff football, jumps up stages, just leaps 0:19:06.720 --> 0:19:09.360 and bounds. But let me this is my question. When 0:19:09.359 --> 0:19:11.600 you have teams that have won the Super Bowl and 0:19:11.680 --> 0:19:13.320 at this point in the season, you can go back 0:19:13.359 --> 0:19:15.119 and lets you go back to TV twelve last year, 0:19:15.200 --> 0:19:18.720 seventy five at this time and they had to had 0:19:18.800 --> 0:19:20.879 no running game, no passing game, and they looked like 0:19:20.920 --> 0:19:23.560 they were dead in the water. They re established the 0:19:23.920 --> 0:19:27.880 running game, their defense picks up the armor and it 0:19:27.960 --> 0:19:31.200 carries them through. Tom Brady gets a lot of their credit, 0:19:31.440 --> 0:19:33.600 but it was what their defense did at the end 0:19:33.600 --> 0:19:36.119 of the of the year and their running game we 0:19:36.240 --> 0:19:39.360 give a lot of credit. We're on Ezekiel Elliott about everything, 0:19:39.760 --> 0:19:43.720 but except for the fact that this offense is top 0:19:43.760 --> 0:19:47.919 five offensively, we're top ten in the running game. Where's 0:19:47.960 --> 0:19:51.400 the disconnect where I mean, you don't like stats, but 0:19:51.080 --> 0:19:54.040 they are what they are, all right. If this man 0:19:54.200 --> 0:19:56.359 is having a few bad games and he needs to 0:19:56.400 --> 0:19:59.320 get it together, I think we all trust that Dak 0:19:59.400 --> 0:20:02.800 is the quarterback that can get it together. Unless he's hurting. 0:20:02.840 --> 0:20:04.760 It's something going on that we don't know about. I 0:20:04.760 --> 0:20:06.520 think you guys are more on the same page. They 0:20:08.040 --> 0:20:10.280 give me a second for just to kind of rebuttal 0:20:10.359 --> 0:20:13.080 this back and forth. Because you're saying they can figure 0:20:13.119 --> 0:20:15.720 it out. You're saying they need to figure it out. 0:20:15.920 --> 0:20:19.640 I completely agree on both accounts. But the stats early on, 0:20:20.240 --> 0:20:22.920 with the explosion of offense, or why you were ranked 0:20:23.000 --> 0:20:25.680 right where you ranked at the moment. You're not ranked 0:20:25.680 --> 0:20:27.880 there because of the last six games. Yeah, you're ranked 0:20:27.920 --> 0:20:29.560 there because of the first set. You can't but you 0:20:29.600 --> 0:20:31.560 can't take that away though, No, you can't. But you 0:20:31.560 --> 0:20:34.160 can get back to that, and we expect to get 0:20:34.160 --> 0:20:36.439 back to that. The Cowboys expect to get there, but 0:20:36.520 --> 0:20:38.720 they haven't been the last six weeks. That's a month 0:20:38.720 --> 0:20:41.240 and a half of the season where they haven't played well, 0:20:41.320 --> 0:20:43.280 you can disregard it. I mean, in a clear comparison 0:20:43.280 --> 0:20:46.680 between Dallas Cowboys this year and Tampa Bay last year. 0:20:46.680 --> 0:20:49.240 Tampa Bay had had a new new quarterback, with a 0:20:49.280 --> 0:20:51.440 new system, with a new coach trying to figure out 0:20:51.520 --> 0:20:53.920 offense and some receivers that he'd had nothing, no idea about. 0:20:54.160 --> 0:20:56.320 That was their situation last year, and they continually got 0:20:56.320 --> 0:20:58.880 stronger as a year progress. This is the same coach, 0:20:59.119 --> 0:21:02.119 the same quarterback, same everything. They've had some injuries, the 0:21:02.160 --> 0:21:05.800 Cowboys have been a lot more than more of this team. 0:21:06.840 --> 0:21:10.600 Everybody was out there yesterday, correct, sure, offensive for TP 0:21:10.720 --> 0:21:13.240 everybody was out there. Yes, everybody was out there. So 0:21:13.240 --> 0:21:14.800 they lose both of your tackles along the way. That 0:21:14.880 --> 0:21:16.239 lost both of your tackles along the way. But they 0:21:16.240 --> 0:21:18.000 were missing both of their defensive ends, one of their 0:21:18.200 --> 0:21:20.680 premier defensive alignment. They were missing their dogs too. So 0:21:20.760 --> 0:21:22.879 in terms of our ability to dominate, we should have 0:21:23.080 --> 0:21:29.840 dominated offensively. We should have I agree. I mean, look, kids, 0:21:29.840 --> 0:21:31.640 the thing I have a hard I have a hard 0:21:31.680 --> 0:21:35.840 time at nine and four right now, um, and hey 0:21:36.200 --> 0:21:39.680 being objective, all right, this was a game that I 0:21:39.720 --> 0:21:42.840 went into saying we had to dominate them. It didn't 0:21:42.840 --> 0:21:47.719 matter defensive line, offensive line. We had to establish and 0:21:47.880 --> 0:21:52.080 meet them. Okay, I felt this though physically we did that. 0:21:53.200 --> 0:21:56.600 We did that on defense. I think, yeah, we did 0:21:56.640 --> 0:22:00.320 that on defense. Offensively, you were you were dominating at 0:22:00.520 --> 0:22:03.280 the first half. You had some jumbo packages. I mean 0:22:03.320 --> 0:22:05.320 you still rush for one hundred and twenty two yards. 0:22:06.240 --> 0:22:08.399 You needed a hundred, you got it. You still got it, 0:22:08.680 --> 0:22:11.520 you know, And so I understand the passing game. Dad 0:22:11.600 --> 0:22:13.800 doesn't look like MVP for him. There are some some 0:22:13.880 --> 0:22:17.280 throws that he damned sure, definitely miss. Okay, but when 0:22:17.320 --> 0:22:19.640 you pull out a victory like this, and you can 0:22:19.680 --> 0:22:22.240 say as a team that this we can't separate the 0:22:22.320 --> 0:22:25.720 offense from the defense. We could critique and say, all right, well, hey, 0:22:25.760 --> 0:22:28.160 we gotta get better. But this was a team win, 0:22:28.400 --> 0:22:31.600 especially when you have a defense that gutted it out 0:22:31.640 --> 0:22:33.840 the way that they did. Even when he turned the 0:22:33.880 --> 0:22:36.640 ball over, here comes Randy Gregory tipping the ball up 0:22:36.640 --> 0:22:39.640 to him. I mean, guys are making plays, and so 0:22:40.000 --> 0:22:41.879 this is a team win, It's all I'm saying. And 0:22:42.040 --> 0:22:44.720 Dak and Dak if we know anything about Dak. The 0:22:44.800 --> 0:22:47.080 one thing about that one interception at the end of 0:22:47.080 --> 0:22:50.560 the game. That is uncustomary for Dad. He does not 0:22:50.720 --> 0:22:53.399 throw dumb interceptions like that. And we saw one of 0:22:53.760 --> 0:22:56.719 the three games that he's had less than one hundred 0:22:56.800 --> 0:22:59.240 passer rating over the last four games. Okay, this game 0:22:59.280 --> 0:23:01.879 he had two yards pass and one touchdown, two interceptions, 0:23:01.960 --> 0:23:04.560 fifty eight point eight agains duralness two hundred thirty eight 0:23:04.600 --> 0:23:07.440 yards passing and one touchdown, one interceptions, seventy nine rating 0:23:07.720 --> 0:23:10.680 against Las Vegas bought out three seventy five, two touchdowns, 0:23:10.760 --> 0:23:13.040 zero interceptions, one or six point three. It didn't go 0:23:13.119 --> 0:23:16.800 back to KC two sixteen, zero touchdowns, two interceptions, fifty 0:23:16.800 --> 0:23:20.000 seven point nine. So he's had one game. Is I 0:23:20.040 --> 0:23:22.280 would agree with you if this was a one game 0:23:22.400 --> 0:23:25.359 or two game team. This is really occurring. This is 0:23:25.400 --> 0:23:28.520 something that is compounding as you need to be getting 0:23:28.560 --> 0:23:30.720 stronger towards the end of the season. So nine to 0:23:30.800 --> 0:23:33.360 four you feel good, that's awesome. That don't mean crap 0:23:33.440 --> 0:23:35.080 when you go on a three or four games stretch 0:23:35.160 --> 0:23:36.600 that you need as soon as as soon as the 0:23:36.600 --> 0:23:39.199 regular season ends. Yeah, I mean there's good points on 0:23:39.240 --> 0:23:41.639 both sides. I agree with both of your thought process. 0:23:41.720 --> 0:23:43.600 Because you're nine and four, you feel good. You're at 0:23:43.640 --> 0:23:45.920 top of the division. You got to find a way, though, 0:23:45.920 --> 0:23:48.040 to peak at the right time, and you're not peaking 0:23:48.160 --> 0:23:52.240 right now defensively, you are. Let's talk about that when 0:23:52.280 --> 0:23:55.439 we come back, because the defense is peaking. When we 0:23:55.520 --> 0:23:58.439 come back, I'm gonna tell you why this is the 0:23:58.480 --> 0:24:02.760 most exciting defense in the entire NFL.

I'm a little 0:26:30.520 --> 0:26:32.280 bit slimmer, did you? Did you clean it out a 0:26:32.320 --> 0:26:34.440 little bit over the weekend? Are you talking about a 0:26:34.480 --> 0:26:39.200 little winter cleaning? My encyclopedia is back in my bag 0:26:39.280 --> 0:26:44.840 back there. Yeah, I needed where it can go over 0:26:44.960 --> 0:26:47.520 my shoulder a little any pack, Yeah, exactly right. All right, 0:26:47.520 --> 0:26:50.639 we've got heck My Harrison, Isaiah stanback, Chris Beam in 0:26:50.680 --> 0:26:53.480 the back. I'm Kyle Yeoman's and we were talking about 0:26:53.520 --> 0:26:56.320 the offense. But we're gonna stay positive for the remainder 0:26:56.400 --> 0:26:58.680 of this show because the Cowboys got a big win 0:26:59.560 --> 0:27:01.720 twenty seven to nothing, or excuse me, I wish it 0:27:01.800 --> 0:27:05.080 was twenty seven to nine. Twenty seven to twenty. It 0:27:05.160 --> 0:27:07.639 could have very easily should be should have been that, 0:27:07.840 --> 0:27:11.440 but a second half charge from the Washington football team 0:27:11.480 --> 0:27:14.200 at least made it a ball game. But let's talk 0:27:14.200 --> 0:27:18.399 about the defense. Maybe I believe at this point in 0:27:18.480 --> 0:27:22.760 the season, there is no defense more exciting to watch 0:27:23.320 --> 0:27:29.800 in the entire NFL than the Dallas Cowboys team. Speed, pressure, swagger, 0:27:30.119 --> 0:27:34.040 scoring touchdowns, defensive touchdowns on multiple occasions. We had a 0:27:34.400 --> 0:27:37.040 back to back games with a scoop and score back 0:27:37.080 --> 0:27:41.080 to back games with an interception of a defensive lineman 0:27:42.160 --> 0:27:45.520 that's never happened in Cowboys history. Then you got guys 0:27:45.560 --> 0:27:49.920 like Michael Parsons star not just a rookie talent, No, 0:27:50.119 --> 0:27:52.680 he is a star in this league already with two 0:27:52.760 --> 0:27:55.280 more sacks, a forced fumble that resulted in a touchdown. 0:27:55.640 --> 0:27:57.879 And then you've got Treyvon Diggs leading the NFL in 0:27:58.000 --> 0:28:00.400 interceptions and he almost had a couple more yea for today. 0:28:00.760 --> 0:28:03.000 So do you agree with that fact of this is 0:28:03.080 --> 0:28:05.439 the most exciting defense in the entire league right now? 0:28:05.600 --> 0:28:07.879 They've made some strides, They're doing some good things. I 0:28:08.040 --> 0:28:10.639 love to see where they are right now. Getting turnovers 0:28:10.840 --> 0:28:14.000 is special. I think there's questions been asking, hey, man, 0:28:14.160 --> 0:28:17.440 if can they continue this of getting turnovers like this 0:28:17.560 --> 0:28:22.760 each and every game? And they have LVE. We had 0:28:22.800 --> 0:28:26.280 a where is LVE sign around here and I think 0:28:26.320 --> 0:28:29.520 we found fifty five five showed up. He had some 0:28:29.640 --> 0:28:31.640 really physical plays that he was making it the line 0:28:31.680 --> 0:28:34.040 of scrimming, some things that he did in past protection. 0:28:34.280 --> 0:28:36.480 I mean, come on, man, there are some there are things. 0:28:36.560 --> 0:28:41.120 There are guys that are stepping up. But still, Anthony Brown, Please, 0:28:41.640 --> 0:28:43.800 when the ball hit your hands like that, man, you 0:28:44.000 --> 0:28:46.800 gotta get the interception, you gotta get it. Yeah, to 0:28:47.120 --> 0:28:49.640 go right through his hands that hey, you talking about. 0:28:49.680 --> 0:28:52.480 Heinecke was trying to give up a lot of them turnovers. 0:28:52.560 --> 0:28:54.760 Yesterday he had one throw that hit like three different 0:28:54.800 --> 0:28:57.640 defenders dogs. So come on now, I don't hold Heineken 0:28:57.800 --> 0:29:01.720 prats got out of the same freaking Okay, okay, I 0:29:01.800 --> 0:29:04.360 just make sure that wasn't a comparison. No, hold on, 0:29:04.400 --> 0:29:11.080 hold on drug test me. Yeah, I'll just wait a minute. No, 0:29:12.120 --> 0:29:14.600 these guys are bawling. Anytime that you can identify two 0:29:14.640 --> 0:29:16.880 to one or two guys at every level of your 0:29:16.920 --> 0:29:19.000 defense that you could say, I this is these guys 0:29:19.040 --> 0:29:21.280 are problems. I think you're in a good position, and 0:29:21.400 --> 0:29:22.920 you you pair that up with the fact that dan 0:29:23.000 --> 0:29:24.800 Quinn is a heck of a coordinator. He knows how 0:29:24.800 --> 0:29:27.600 to put his guys in position to be successful. It's 0:29:27.600 --> 0:29:30.080 a great pairing. It's it's one thing to have talent, 0:29:30.320 --> 0:29:32.560 it's another thing to know how to utilize your talent. Right. 0:29:32.600 --> 0:29:34.880 It's just like resources, just like anybody has living their life. 0:29:34.920 --> 0:29:37.320 If you have a great network but you never utilize them, 0:29:37.440 --> 0:29:39.640 they might as well not even have it. So he 0:29:39.840 --> 0:29:41.680 dan Quinn knows how to utilize these guys, and he 0:29:41.760 --> 0:29:44.920 knows how to create mismatches, create ISOs so that these 0:29:44.960 --> 0:29:47.840 guys can win their individual matchups, which in turn help 0:29:47.920 --> 0:29:50.640 the entire defense out. These guys are playing well, the 0:29:50.720 --> 0:29:53.560 defensive line looks amazing. You got de Law killing a 0:29:53.720 --> 0:29:56.160 Gallamore show one out, and then you got and you 0:29:56.280 --> 0:29:59.080 got Gregory. You got three guys, and there's a bunch 0:29:59.080 --> 0:30:00.520 of other guys that are making play too, but there's 0:30:00.520 --> 0:30:02.480 three guys that you definitely have to circle when you 0:30:02.520 --> 0:30:03.880 play these guys and be like you, we need to 0:30:04.000 --> 0:30:05.720 know where these guys are. Then you go to the 0:30:05.760 --> 0:30:08.440 second level. You got Michael Parsons making a play making plays. 0:30:08.440 --> 0:30:09.920 He's obviously up there. He should be up for the 0:30:10.320 --> 0:30:12.400 downing for the defensive MVP and put him in the 0:30:12.480 --> 0:30:14.320 category with the whole MVP because that dude is making 0:30:14.320 --> 0:30:16.640 an impact everywhere. Every time he s it's almost every 0:30:16.680 --> 0:30:19.160 show we have going along, it's like, yeah, Rookie of 0:30:19.200 --> 0:30:20.680 the Year, we're gonna be there. It's like, okay, now, 0:30:20.800 --> 0:30:23.320 Rookie Year of the Year. It's wrapped up. He fits 0:30:23.320 --> 0:30:25.480 the Player of the Year. You're great, Okay, let's let's 0:30:25.520 --> 0:30:27.560 just keep going. Now you're throwing him in the like 0:30:27.800 --> 0:30:30.280 MVP caliber topic. That's the way he's playing has to 0:30:30.400 --> 0:30:32.120 And then you look in the secondary and you have 0:30:32.240 --> 0:30:34.360 Curse showing up, and then you obviously have digs and yeah, 0:30:34.360 --> 0:30:36.200 I know Diggs was pitched yesterday. He should have had 0:30:36.240 --> 0:30:39.320 a pick. But as as again, as you start facing 0:30:39.360 --> 0:30:42.440 these teams, who who are they? Who are they gonna 0:30:42.440 --> 0:30:44.640 have to circle and say how are we gonna deal 0:30:44.680 --> 0:30:47.200 with these guys? That's what we expected. Offensively, whenever we 0:30:47.240 --> 0:30:49.240 play teams, we say, okay, there's no way that you 0:30:49.320 --> 0:30:51.720 can match everybody that we put out there on against you. Right, 0:30:51.760 --> 0:30:53.760 we got Dak, we got Zeke, we got TP we got, 0:30:54.040 --> 0:30:56.680 we got all the resources. You can't guard all of us. 0:30:56.760 --> 0:30:58.760 And now it's becoming the same thing on defense. It's 0:30:58.800 --> 0:31:01.400 like you can't key on one of us. And I 0:31:01.520 --> 0:31:04.200 love the selflessness of this defense and the credit that 0:31:04.280 --> 0:31:06.360 they all give each other in the interviews and talking 0:31:06.400 --> 0:31:08.600 about you know how it's a it's a team thing, 0:31:08.840 --> 0:31:11.960 and Micah's pointing to the same thing, and Tank being 0:31:12.000 --> 0:31:15.160 an established veteran in this league, he's moving all around 0:31:15.280 --> 0:31:17.760 left and right. It was one point where it was 0:31:17.840 --> 0:31:20.920 five on five and everybody had to win an individual matchup, 0:31:20.960 --> 0:31:25.280 as you just talked about. And there's for offenses even 0:31:25.320 --> 0:31:27.080 when you go into the playoffs. I don't care who 0:31:27.200 --> 0:31:29.840 you face. They have to worry about that. They have 0:31:30.040 --> 0:31:32.960 to worry about that, I believe also from Malie Cooker, 0:31:33.000 --> 0:31:37.760 he had that one the penalty. I don't know how 0:31:37.840 --> 0:31:40.080 you play defense anymore. I mean he turned to the side. 0:31:40.280 --> 0:31:42.960 If he could have legit cleaned his clock, if he 0:31:43.040 --> 0:31:45.720 came across his face, but he didn't. But he still 0:31:45.760 --> 0:31:47.600 we still got fifteen yards on that. He was like 0:31:47.760 --> 0:31:51.040 on his way out of bounds. Why that's getting soft? 0:31:51.120 --> 0:31:53.479 I just I don't know. That was but all in all. 0:31:53.760 --> 0:31:56.560 I mean, I just love the ball hawking ability, and 0:31:56.760 --> 0:31:59.480 it just felt like these guys were when it got 0:31:59.520 --> 0:32:02.120 to third down, it was like a party. It's like, man, 0:32:02.160 --> 0:32:04.600 they come in, Yeah, oh they coming if it's third 0:32:04.640 --> 0:32:06.920 and eighty and may they coming out to you. And 0:32:07.040 --> 0:32:10.560 I think that's what makes this this season so exciting. 0:32:10.680 --> 0:32:12.640 It is in the past. I mean, it is not 0:32:12.720 --> 0:32:15.200 out of the ordinary for everyone to kind of perk up, 0:32:15.880 --> 0:32:18.000 kind of turn there and put their snacks down, kind 0:32:18.040 --> 0:32:19.840 of look at the TV a little bit more intently. 0:32:19.880 --> 0:32:22.200 When the Cowboys offense takes the field, you see Dak 0:32:22.240 --> 0:32:24.720 Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott and Mary Cooper trotting out to 0:32:24.800 --> 0:32:27.760 the huddle. Now you you do the exact same thing 0:32:27.880 --> 0:32:30.480 for the defense. You see Michael Parsons coming out off 0:32:30.520 --> 0:32:33.719 the sidelines to Marcus Lawrence, Randy Gregory. You perk up 0:32:33.720 --> 0:32:36.400 a little bit, You kind of get more intense because 0:32:36.440 --> 0:32:38.800 you know something's about to happen. Which unit are you 0:32:38.880 --> 0:32:41.479 more excited to watch right now? Offense or defense? Defense? 0:32:42.440 --> 0:32:46.640 For sure? I agree, h I hope it changes. I 0:32:46.800 --> 0:32:49.920 hope the offense catches right back right now, right this second. 0:32:49.960 --> 0:32:51.800 It's definitely the I mean and I'm gonna say the 0:32:51.880 --> 0:32:54.360 defense because I feel like I'm watching something special. Every 0:32:54.400 --> 0:32:56.880 time a Levin is on the field, he's gonna you know, 0:32:57.120 --> 0:33:01.640 he's gonna do something that's strip fumble that led to 0:33:01.760 --> 0:33:05.000 a touchdown. That's just man heinek right now, he hurting man. 0:33:05.040 --> 0:33:08.120 He in a hot tu right now behind that because 0:33:08.600 --> 0:33:11.440 Michael put his the full weight of that eleven owners 0:33:11.560 --> 0:33:16.680 drove him into the carpet man slow motion as we're talking. 0:33:16.760 --> 0:33:23.360 And nine and a half sacks in the last six games. 0:33:23.440 --> 0:33:26.320 It's time most by a rookie since O'Neill back in 0:33:26.480 --> 0:33:30.120 nineteen eighty six. So, I mean, it seems like every 0:33:30.200 --> 0:33:32.560 game we're getting those stats that haven't happened in forty 0:33:32.640 --> 0:33:36.480 years from Michael Parsons. He's a generational type of player. 0:33:36.640 --> 0:33:39.280 At this very moment, he is on that track. He's 0:33:39.280 --> 0:33:41.719 got a long career ahead of him. Hopefully he's got 0:33:41.760 --> 0:33:44.120 a long career going. But in terms of rookie seasons 0:33:44.160 --> 0:33:47.320 by a defender, it's hard to match what Michael Parsons did. 0:33:47.360 --> 0:33:49.480 But it's awesome. Again, I mean, as great as Michael 0:33:49.520 --> 0:33:51.520 Parsons is, as great as these other guys are. Again, 0:33:51.560 --> 0:33:53.600 it keeps going back to dan Quinn, not only are 0:33:53.640 --> 0:33:56.480 the are these guys talented, they're super talented and they're 0:33:56.480 --> 0:33:59.280 super hungry. But dan Quinn knows how to get these 0:33:59.360 --> 0:34:02.760 guys in those situations Micah Parsons versus a right guard. 0:34:03.040 --> 0:34:05.080 He's confident with that. So guess what, I'm gonna make 0:34:05.120 --> 0:34:06.920 sure that you have that one on one matchup. I'm 0:34:06.960 --> 0:34:08.400 gonna make sure I'll put you in a position to 0:34:08.480 --> 0:34:10.399 have that opportunity to beat that man one on one. 0:34:10.480 --> 0:34:13.239 D Law, you think you could beat that that that tackle, Okay, cool, 0:34:13.239 --> 0:34:16.239 I'm gonna make sure that that schematical scheme wise that 0:34:16.400 --> 0:34:19.000 you're gonna have that ISO all day long against that door. 0:34:19.000 --> 0:34:21.480 All these third downs when you really need to go hunt, Gregory, 0:34:21.520 --> 0:34:23.319 you want that same thing perfect all right' gonna run 0:34:23.320 --> 0:34:24.879 a stunt so that you can come in and beat 0:34:24.960 --> 0:34:27.680 that guard too. So he is literally just just creating 0:34:27.760 --> 0:34:29.880 these plays where these guys have these opportunities to go 0:34:29.920 --> 0:34:32.920 out and show what they're capable of. It's it's organized 0:34:33.040 --> 0:34:35.560 and it's schemed up, but it almost reminds me of 0:34:35.640 --> 0:34:39.080 backyard football, yeah, of football in the street of Heckma's 0:34:39.120 --> 0:34:41.400 going up against this guy from the from the side, 0:34:41.640 --> 0:34:43.879 or from the street down or the block down the road, 0:34:44.120 --> 0:34:45.880 and he looks up at anything else. I got you 0:34:46.200 --> 0:34:47.520 like it looks him in the eye. I've gotten that 0:34:47.560 --> 0:34:50.160 look from Heckma a couple times. I've got you one 0:34:51.000 --> 0:34:53.719 said it's happening and then bam and then Heckma's got 0:34:53.800 --> 0:34:55.640 that matchup. He knows he's gonna happen, and he's got 0:34:55.719 --> 0:34:57.320 a strip, sack fumble and he's right and run in 0:34:57.360 --> 0:34:59.560 the other direction. But you know, guys, they'll take much 0:34:59.600 --> 0:35:00.880 for me to up out of the cake. But I 0:35:00.960 --> 0:35:02.680 said that at the beginning of the week. You know, 0:35:02.800 --> 0:35:05.480 I didn't expect for time Taylor Heineke to have any success. 0:35:05.640 --> 0:35:08.560 I don't. I think he's a he's a marginal quarterback. Uh. 0:35:09.160 --> 0:35:12.120 And he smelled exactly like you should have that whole game, 0:35:12.200 --> 0:35:15.040 like the dump truck. We put him in his proper place. 0:35:15.320 --> 0:35:17.440 We talk about them in their four game winning streak 0:35:17.480 --> 0:35:19.000 that they were on, and we tried to make them 0:35:19.040 --> 0:35:21.560 bigger than what they were. The carriage turned back into 0:35:21.640 --> 0:35:23.920 a pumpkin in front of our eyes. And now everybody 0:35:24.000 --> 0:35:27.520 has to understand, look, oh, this is a game, divisional game. 0:35:27.560 --> 0:35:30.160 When you win a divisional game on the road. That 0:35:30.320 --> 0:35:33.279 means something. No matter how you you could, you could 0:35:33.719 --> 0:35:36.840 red flag this red flag that you got the w 0:35:37.520 --> 0:35:40.120 all right, and now you go to New York and 0:35:40.280 --> 0:35:42.400 you got it whether it's three zero, How have you 0:35:42.480 --> 0:35:45.239 pull these games out? This exactly what you have to 0:35:45.320 --> 0:35:47.279 do with this at this point in time. But my 0:35:47.400 --> 0:35:49.520 question I had to ask you. Have you ever been 0:35:49.600 --> 0:35:51.799 a part of a game where in the first half 0:35:52.120 --> 0:35:55.520 it's just like this over with, we got these boys. 0:35:55.680 --> 0:36:00.560 It's like that. It's hard to play like that. Absolutely, Wait, 0:36:00.600 --> 0:36:02.640 you're saying playing up like that and you're playing down. 0:36:02.680 --> 0:36:04.560 It's hard to play up. It's hard when you're when 0:36:04.560 --> 0:36:07.200 you're up by a good margin and you're dominating you 0:36:07.360 --> 0:36:09.960 you're dominating. It's hard to keep that going. But it 0:36:10.160 --> 0:36:12.880 is necessary to keep it going because you're playing professionals. 0:36:13.160 --> 0:36:15.200 You're playing professionals, and if you ease up off the gas, 0:36:15.360 --> 0:36:16.960 you saw what happened, Yes, you saw what happens. The 0:36:17.120 --> 0:36:18.920 other team games momentum. Now all of a sudden, you're 0:36:18.960 --> 0:36:20.960 it's just like racing somebody. If you're racing somebody, you're 0:36:21.000 --> 0:36:22.520 killing them, right and boom and all of a sudden 0:36:22.560 --> 0:36:24.160 you pull up because you know you got another thirty 0:36:24.200 --> 0:36:27.000 yards and you're just coast and here comes to a 0:36:27.160 --> 0:36:29.120 dog on the same boat. He's oh crap, now you're 0:36:29.120 --> 0:36:31.480 trying to kick it back in gear. Momentums already rolling. 0:36:31.520 --> 0:36:34.239 That's what happened when Barry Church beat you in that race. Wow. No, 0:36:34.400 --> 0:36:40.560 that's that's definitely a metaphor. No, no, that wouldn't happen. Sorry, BC. 0:36:41.560 --> 0:36:43.640 All right, let's take our second break.

We've moved on to the second side. 0:40:06.800 --> 0:40:08.800 I say, I decided to go with like the biggest 0:40:08.840 --> 0:40:11.600 sticker on the entire sheet, Yes, to try and put 0:40:11.680 --> 0:40:14.640 on the on the helmet.

I am going to 0:40:33.560 --> 0:40:39.160 give you a banana, because yesterday you were bananas on 0:40:39.320 --> 0:40:43.480 the field. And that's mister Randy Gregory. Yes, indeed, yes, indeed. 0:40:44.719 --> 0:40:47.239 Having all three of those guys back, we talked about 0:40:47.239 --> 0:40:51.000 the possibilities, we really did, and we knew that it 0:40:51.080 --> 0:40:53.319 was going to make an impact, right, Yeah, we didn't 0:40:53.320 --> 0:40:55.319 know it was going to explode. And that's what they 0:40:55.360 --> 0:40:59.160 did yesterday with the five sacks, four takeaways, and man 0:40:59.520 --> 0:41:02.879 was it exciting to watch. All Right? I said, who 0:41:02.920 --> 0:41:04.680 you got? I'm still trying to figure out which one 0:41:04.680 --> 0:41:09.880 of these is going to represent him? Okay, all right, 0:41:10.080 --> 0:41:12.200 let's go ahead and roll with this one. Um, I 0:41:12.320 --> 0:41:16.960 am gonna go with this one right here. Oh a 0:41:17.000 --> 0:41:19.960 little tiny little You went from the biggest sticker on 0:41:19.960 --> 0:41:22.560 the board that maybe the little the smallest one. Yeah, 0:41:22.680 --> 0:41:24.560 what is that? It's a it's a it's a pineapple 0:41:24.600 --> 0:41:26.600 with a backpack. Okay, cool, he has a backpack on 0:41:26.840 --> 0:41:29.920 And I'm gonna give this to Neville Gallimore, all right, 0:41:30.040 --> 0:41:32.360 the biggest guy. Um, but he carried a team like 0:41:32.400 --> 0:41:34.840 a jam sport yesterday and I and I honestly believe 0:41:34.920 --> 0:41:36.879 that his presence allowed for a lot of our guys 0:41:36.960 --> 0:41:39.239 the ball out yesterday. He came in. He was doing 0:41:39.360 --> 0:41:42.960 his due, um after a long time off. This is preseason. 0:41:43.000 --> 0:41:45.279 We haven't seen this dude right since Arizona game. Um. 0:41:45.360 --> 0:41:48.680 And he came back ready to play, in shape right 0:41:48.800 --> 0:41:51.160 and ready to make an impact. And he brought everybody 0:41:51.200 --> 0:41:53.000 on like a jam sport and not everybody to make play. 0:41:53.080 --> 0:41:55.160 So there you got a chance, sport. Put it on 0:41:55.239 --> 0:41:58.239 that other side of the hell on this bout your 0:41:58.320 --> 0:42:01.359 big old strawberry. Who you go with, Kyle, I'm gonna 0:42:01.400 --> 0:42:04.080 go with this little cake pop right here. It's a 0:42:04.160 --> 0:42:07.560 little little pink cake pop. I don't know what kind 0:42:07.600 --> 0:42:09.480 of cake pop it is. It might be red velvet, 0:42:09.760 --> 0:42:12.680 I don't know. It may be vanilla. But we know 0:42:12.840 --> 0:42:15.880 it was exciting because it popped Trump or excuse me, 0:42:15.960 --> 0:42:20.439 Taylor Heineke a couple times. That's mister Micah Parsons hate 0:42:20.719 --> 0:42:23.160 for a loss. Oh did you stick it to the desk. 0:42:26.239 --> 0:42:33.160 It's just this is not gonna be good. Chris is 0:42:33.160 --> 0:42:35.480 gonna get after me. I'm sorry. I'll get it fixed, 0:42:35.480 --> 0:42:37.319 I promise, But now I'm gonna find another cake pop 0:42:37.560 --> 0:42:39.759 Derek Seed, isn't it? Yeah? It is? And he's coming 0:42:39.840 --> 0:42:42.359 up next. I think maybe, I don't know. I'm gonna 0:42:42.360 --> 0:42:43.960 figure it out. I'm gonna find another cake Pop, but 0:42:44.000 --> 0:42:46.360 it's going to Michael Parsons because he had a couple 0:42:46.480 --> 0:42:49.680 of sacks and of course the Forest Fumble and company. 0:42:49.800 --> 0:42:53.520 So I'm gonna let Michael Parsons get that cake popties Monday, 0:42:53.760 --> 0:42:56.759 heineke on a victory Monday. I did not want to 0:42:56.800 --> 0:42:58.960 stick this to the table more than it's already stunk. 0:42:59.600 --> 0:43:04.279 All right, Rob Phillips is going with another defensive lineman. No, 0:43:04.560 --> 0:43:06.960 no surprise, we're going with the front seven here, front 0:43:07.000 --> 0:43:10.680 seven across the board. He went with DeMarcus Lawrence. How 0:43:10.680 --> 0:43:13.440 about that little d law action. Second game back, he 0:43:13.600 --> 0:43:16.120 has a sack and that was I don't know what 0:43:16.280 --> 0:43:19.400 it was about that sack, but it felt special. It 0:43:19.680 --> 0:43:22.319 did it? Am I alone in that regard. I felt 0:43:22.360 --> 0:43:24.799 like he getting a sack after the long time off 0:43:24.880 --> 0:43:27.239 and not having a sack for a while. I feel 0:43:27.520 --> 0:43:30.719 left out, Yeah, gaining in on the act. Yeah, I 0:43:30.800 --> 0:43:34.920 think he felt a little left out. Not this time. No, no, no, 0:43:35.200 --> 0:43:38.239 you're gonna let me not in this one. So no, man, 0:43:38.600 --> 0:43:41.640 and like like you we've talked about this entire segment. Guys, 0:43:41.680 --> 0:43:45.239 it's it's defense built us out um offense. Man, they 0:43:45.280 --> 0:43:47.759 got work to do. I would agree with that. I 0:43:47.840 --> 0:43:50.759 think Dad can definitely be better. Isaiah. I don't know 0:43:50.840 --> 0:43:53.239 if it's the mechanics, if it's if he's hurting, if 0:43:53.280 --> 0:43:57.040 it's the calf, what's going on? But you have obviously 0:43:57.800 --> 0:44:00.879 enough to say his QB off from here to there 0:44:01.120 --> 0:44:05.200 has been slipping because of something. Yeah, what that something is. 0:44:05.719 --> 0:44:08.120 We're gonna have to figure it out. We are gonna 0:44:08.160 --> 0:44:10.120 have to figure it out. Luckily, it's not our job 0:44:10.200 --> 0:44:12.280 to figure it out. We got a lot of smart 0:44:12.360 --> 0:44:13.920 people on the other side of the building that can 0:44:13.960 --> 0:44:16.279 do but it was hard job. No, we don't have 0:44:16.400 --> 0:44:19.480 anything to do with the game, didn't you know that? 0:44:19.800 --> 0:44:23.279 That's okay. We'll talk to the fans tomorrow, though, how 0:44:23.280 --> 0:44:26.240 about that they have something to do with the game. Sometimes, 0:44:26.400 --> 0:44:29.680 we've got Cowboys Nations calls on the way for a 0:44:29.840 --> 0:44:32.880 Talking Tuesday. You can go ahead and line us up, 0:44:32.920 --> 0:44:34.960 give us a call at eighty eight eight five five 0:44:35.400 --> 0:44:38.080 two two nine seven. We're gonna take fan calls tomorrow 0:44:38.200 --> 0:44:42.279 on a talking Tuesday, a victory talking Tuesday. As the 0:44:42.360 --> 0:44:46.040 Cowboys are nine and four, and they are on top 0:44:46.120 --> 0:44:49.320 of the NFC East three games to play, or excuse me, 0:44:49.400 --> 0:44:52.440 three games up. With four games to play, Cowboys can 0:44:52.520 --> 0:44:55.440 lock up the division as soon as the game against 0:44:55.520 --> 0:44:59.160 Washington in week sixteen.
