Men? We are doing wonderful? 0:01:32.120 --> 0:01:35.119 Where is that? Why are you feeling wonderful. What's going 0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:36.720 on with my mic man? I can't hear myself, but 0:01:36.800 --> 0:01:39.039 that's fine. I hope you can. Yeah, we hear you. Fine, 0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:43.479 you hear me, fine, Yeah, you sound great. This is sweet, guys, 0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:48.000 This is sweet. We took the number one defense and 0:01:48.120 --> 0:01:51.800 we hauled them out, right, the number one defense. We 0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:54.400 hauled them out. That came in with forty five yards 0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:58.400 averaging Russian number one Russian defense, and we expand it. 0:01:58.480 --> 0:02:01.040 We stretched that out a little bit to ninety eight 0:02:01.120 --> 0:02:04.240 yards now sent them back with that. Yeah, so I'm 0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:06.480 sure they're not number one no more. But I feel 0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:08.959 like good. How about your y'all feel You're trying to 0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:11.720 tell us something based off of our commentary last week? 0:02:13.320 --> 0:02:17.160 Is that directed? Yeah? He directed it, Isaiah. I've never 0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:20.120 been subtle at anything in my life. I'm just basically 0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:23.080 just putting this out, that's all. I'm just putting it 0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:25.239 out there. It's all good, It's all good. How y'all 0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:31.440 feel good? He's saying Carolina was fake news? Now first 0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:36.959 time Carolina. Two different teams. First half, Carolina, second second half, Carolina, 0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:38.640 two different team. I was gonna say, first half, we 0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:41.280 were right, Yes, first half Carolina second half, Carolina, two 0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:43.760 different teams Dalla Dallas and two different teams to totally. 0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:47.840 So they changed players. It's a half time. Yeah, something 0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:49.840 happened to half time. I don't think there's one person 0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:52.799 who watches that would I would deny that. But it's 0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:55.200 a win. It's a dumb and Lallas came out and 0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:57.760 we talked about character, We talked about will, we talked 0:02:57.760 --> 0:02:59.880 about how that team was gonna bring it. All those 0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:02.560 things were true. Um, both both teams were fighting, you know, 0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:06.040 for men, tooting nail, whatever you wanna call it. And um, 0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:07.720 you know there was there was some things that were 0:03:07.600 --> 0:03:09.440 they were they were going back, they're hidden, you know. 0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:11.639 We got away with some stuff that that it was 0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:14.920 to our advantage as well. Um, guys made plays and 0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:17.520 then we finished the game. They didn't finish. We finished. 0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:19.480 So that's that was the difference in the game. The 0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:21.880 first half was about as competitive as I as I 0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:24.080 expected it to be, and in the second half, one 0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:25.720 team showed up, the other team decided to stay in 0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:27.799 the locker room until the may wait through the fourth quarter. Yeah, 0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:30.560 I think I thought we missed some opportunities. I'm sorry, Peking, No, No, 0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:33.160 I think I think they were there. Legit, their their 0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:36.080 defense is really good, and that first half was kind 0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:39.080 of what we expected, a challenge for both offenses. You know, 0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:41.440 they were challenged without Christian McCaffrey, even though I thought 0:03:41.480 --> 0:03:44.480 Hubbard did some nice things that hurt them. And then 0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:47.600 you know, they came after Dak Prescott in the first 0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:49.720 half with the blitz and and the Cowboys were able 0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:53.480 to counter do some things better. They got some more takeaways. 0:03:53.920 --> 0:03:55.640 That's been the story of the season. They were talking 0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:58.000 about the takeaways. Can I just say share a quote 0:03:58.000 --> 0:03:59.680 from Zeke real quick. This is the Internet, so I 0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:02.120 guess I can say it talking about what happened in 0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:03.600 the second half, said, we knew we had to go 0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:06.600 take care of business. We came hot, came out with 0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:11.440 our say our piss hot. Yeah, came out ready to 0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:14.000 go win that football game. You know what, That's what 0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:16.480 a good team does in any sport. Third quarters are 0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:19.240 always key, and that's the sign of a good teams 0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:20.760 to come out and say, look, we're better than this. 0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:23.560 And you know, they got it done. The offense, I 0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:25.960 mean got back to the ground game. The defense in 0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:27.800 the calling card through the first three weeks of the 0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:30.599 year was always takeaways, So let's talk about them. Takeaways. 0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:33.600 Trayvon Diggs with a pair of interceptions, and that man 0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:37.320 is on another level right now. You know, we talked 0:04:37.360 --> 0:04:41.520 about ranking cornerbacks in this league, and you know some 0:04:41.600 --> 0:04:44.240 of us thought that Treyvon Diggs was outside of the 0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:46.880 top ten, which is cool. But let's break it down. 0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:50.920 Let's break it down with his draft class, all right, Sure, 0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:56.320 Trayvon Diggs has eight interceptions. His draft class in total, 0:04:56.920 --> 0:05:01.279 and this is rounds one through four has a interceptions. 0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:04.320 So put that in perspective when you put some respect 0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:06.320 on his name, and put that in perspective when you 0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:10.840 talk about t diggy m. I like that Aiden's dead, 0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:16.120 Aiden's dead, star hard knocks. Yeah. Two interceptions yesterday for 0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:18.719 Treyvon Diggs. The takeaways now up to ten on the year. 0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:22.760 Five of those belong to Treyvon Diggs. From the defensive perspective, 0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:27.320 and I mean flying around the football, I mean gang tackling. 0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:30.560 That hasn't been something we've seen a long time. Defensively, 0:05:31.240 --> 0:05:35.680 sacks goodness, five yesterday, three of which coming from rookies 0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:37.800 and the other two coming from Randy Gregory. I mean 0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:40.359 the defense got after it again yesterday and it was 0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:43.320 really really fun to watch. It's dope. It's dope to see. Um. 0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:46.840 We talked about how, you know, we were talking about 0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:49.479 Carolina's defense, the fact that they were dangerous because of 0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:51.240 you didn't know who was gonna make the play. Yeah, 0:05:51.560 --> 0:05:54.080 and I feel like we're really in that same conversation now. 0:05:54.160 --> 0:05:56.960 It really doesn't matter we don't. We obviously have our guys. 0:05:57.200 --> 0:05:59.200 Michael Parkson has probably had his worst game of the year. 0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:01.160 I think he I think he wanted to get some 0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:02.760 grown men and he kind of found out that there's 0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:04.720 some guys that can move him around, which is good 0:06:04.839 --> 0:06:06.840 that he needs that he needs that game. Um. But 0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:09.440 collectively as a unit, we're we have guys playing making 0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:12.320 plays all over the place. Defensive line, we aside from 0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:13.960 the first game, have we had a game even a 0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:15.680 first game. We haven't had heel back right, and we 0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:19.279 haven't hadn't we haven't had a game with our entire defense. 0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:22.320 But yet it doesn't feel like we're missing anything. And 0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:24.839 that's that's the testament to how good this defense is playing. 0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:27.160 You know. I think what's exciting to your point is 0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:31.279 I think it was the half sack by two draft picks. 0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:34.480 Chauncey Goldston, who's finally getting his first playing time, Olsa, 0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:38.479 Dicky Zoua and Parsons is middle blitzing and causing that 0:06:38.560 --> 0:06:42.120 pocket to break down. He got three draft picks doing that, 0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:45.760 and part because guys are missing. Yeah, I mean that's 0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:47.840 if you're Will McClay, you're sitting back in your your 0:06:47.920 --> 0:06:49.800 VIP box or wherever you are, and you're smiling at that. 0:06:49.880 --> 0:06:52.840 Jerry too, and Stephen well, and I think that's kind 0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:54.480 of goes to the excitement. Sorry, I didn't mean to 0:06:54.480 --> 0:06:56.640 cut you off, sir, but it is. It's the youth 0:06:56.680 --> 0:06:58.880 that's stepping out. Trayvon Diggs is a second year corner. 0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:01.240 Those three guys on the defensive line and in the 0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:03.760 front seven or playing lights out right now. Oh and 0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:05.799 by the way, you've got a second year defensive tackle 0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:07.640 that's not even available at the moment that's going to 0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:10.080 come back and play pretty good snaps for you. Overall, 0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:13.720 the youth of this defense is starting to play like 0:07:13.760 --> 0:07:16.480 you would expected the veterans to start playing like in 0:07:16.840 --> 0:07:19.520 past years. And I think that's what's so exciting from 0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:22.960 what you're what you've had so far. No Chauncey Gholston. 0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:26.120 Is it. Look, man, it's so refreshing to get a 0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:28.400 draft pick. And you know, they were so high on 0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:30.800 him obviously in OTAs you saw the way that they 0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:32.960 were going to use him. And he's a guy with 0:07:33.000 --> 0:07:35.560 his size and speed, you could bump him down to 0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:38.200 inside play him on the outside of me. His versatility, 0:07:38.360 --> 0:07:40.480 it's all over the place. But you know, I just 0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:44.160 think just seeing these guys Alsa Diggy Zoo as well, 0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:47.680 number ninety seven, everything everything about our rookie class, I 0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:51.640 think it just splashes, especially on the defensive line. Really 0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:53.720 good to see that. You talk about who we don't 0:07:53.760 --> 0:07:57.120 have and Hill Gallimore, we don't have tank, but yet 0:07:57.400 --> 0:08:00.240 we're still getting pressure on the quarterback. And guy, we 0:08:00.520 --> 0:08:03.240 haven't had these multiple sack games. I think we had 0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:06.760 four sacks all of last year and then we have 0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:09.800 five in a game. So I mean, look, we're making 0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:11.920 a lot about a lot of other defenses calling them 0:08:12.000 --> 0:08:14.480 number one, and I think everybody's waiting and reserving that 0:08:14.600 --> 0:08:16.760 praise for this defense. But I think, man, the proof 0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:19.679 is into putting. You see it, and you mentioned Digs 0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:21.160 and I just wanted to point this out. He's got 0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:25.520 five picks through four games. That is ties, the most 0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:28.600 since two thousand and nine by a player through the 0:08:28.600 --> 0:08:30.840 first four games of a season. It was two thousand 0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:33.679 and nine Darren Sharper, and that was that Super Bowl 0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:38.080 champion Saints team that this is what this is reminding 0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:40.120 me of. I mean the Saints that I think I 0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:42.680 had the best offense in the league in terms of 0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:44.680 putting up close to forty points a game for a 0:08:44.679 --> 0:08:47.240 lot of that season, and they finished the season second 0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:50.560 in takeaways with thirty nine. You combine those two things together, 0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:53.600 I mean, how many games are you gonna win? Yeah, 0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:56.240 especially with what we got coming up. So now these 0:08:56.280 --> 0:08:58.840 boys are they're they're balling. These boys are balling. Um. 0:08:58.880 --> 0:09:00.839 I was really excited. And I told you guys, I 0:09:01.120 --> 0:09:03.040 was anticipate. I wanted to see this game more so 0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:04.640 that I wanted to even see the Tampa game. I 0:09:04.640 --> 0:09:08.559 was anticipating this game simply because I knew the attitude 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:10.480 that Carolina was gonna come with. And again we saw 0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:12.280 that in the first half and we matched it right. 0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:13.560 And I say I would say that I said earlier, 0:09:13.640 --> 0:09:15.080 we gotta said, we either need to match it or 0:09:15.120 --> 0:09:17.960 we need to exceed their intensity. And I feel like 0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:19.680 we did it well. I think it's what we talked 0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:22.440 about during the week, like and we felt like that 0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:25.079 was probably the fastest defense they were gonna face. It's 0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:29.160 a fast defense that flies around and but there I 0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:31.200 think Nick pointed this out during the game. They're they're 0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:34.560 smaller than we and then you know, Cowboys looked at 0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:36.199 it and said, look, they let's just run them over. 0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:38.760 Let's just go after them. And I think some people 0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:40.400 were like, well, you know, maybe they should have run 0:09:40.400 --> 0:09:41.880 against Tampa Bay. I think it's a little bit of 0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:44.840 a different situation. The matchup dictated. This is a Zeke game. 0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:48.080 We faced, We faced some of the best that the 0:09:48.160 --> 0:09:50.720 NFL has to throw. Now, right, we faced the Tampa 0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:55.199 Bay Buccaneers. Their their defense. What's up now, go ahead, 0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:58.840 I got you, Oh okay, keep me all the defense. 0:09:58.840 --> 0:10:01.640 So Tampa Bay's defense is big, yep, right, Tim Bay's 0:10:01.640 --> 0:10:03.199 defense is big. So they really did not want to 0:10:03.240 --> 0:10:06.280 run last night? Yeah, no, So so so Tampa Bay 0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:08.679 presents a problem because they're they're they're just large human beings. 0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:10.160 So you're not gonna move them off the ball, So 0:10:10.200 --> 0:10:11.640 you have to approach them differently. So that's why you 0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:13.560 throw the ball fifty eight times even though you really 0:10:13.559 --> 0:10:15.400 don't want to because you're not gonna move the ball. 0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:17.960 Then you face the Chargers. The Chargers have dudes at 0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:20.000 every level. Right, they have dudes at every level. They 0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:22.480 don't necessarily have a whole whole defense that could really 0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:24.280 take you out, but they have the guys that you 0:10:24.320 --> 0:10:26.040 have to identify. You better know where these guys are 0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:29.760 out on the field of Mary in the middle, Derwin, 0:10:29.880 --> 0:10:31.960 Derwin on the back, back side. So that's that that 0:10:32.000 --> 0:10:35.160 team is different, right, Tampa. Everybody can ball, right, Chargers, 0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:36.760 they have their three guys. You better know where they're at. 0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:39.000 And all of a sudden, you face you know in Philadelphia, 0:10:39.040 --> 0:10:41.679 is whatever? All right? And then then you played Carolina. 0:10:41.840 --> 0:10:43.640 Now it's like, Okay, I don't know who's gonna make 0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:45.319 a play. But these boys can fly around. And we 0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:47.720 saw them boys flying around. But the fact that we 0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:51.120 have now seen Kellen Moore handle and adapt to all 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:53.760 those different types of defenses that we face, it makes 0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:56.040 me feel a lot more secure. I would. I feel 0:10:56.080 --> 0:10:57.680 like that was the last little box that I needed 0:10:57.720 --> 0:10:59.599 to see in terms of us being the amble to 0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:01.960 match it. That can run around him and match our 0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:04.040 speed because we have speed. We got guys that can 0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:05.959 run around. We got some big boys up. Friend, I 0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:07.280 think we all knew that we're going to try to 0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:09.960 run the ball because those guys are undersized, right, But 0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:13.080 we matched that intensity and that's the competitiveness. That's the 0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:15.800 character box that I wanted to see checked off and 0:11:15.920 --> 0:11:17.280 coming up to this game, and I think they checked 0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:21.959 them all off. Totally agree. You're still laughing. I'm not laughing, smirking, No, 0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:26.680 just man. I love to see what Ezekiel Elliott did yesterday. Zeke, 0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:29.199 That's what we talked about him getting back on track, 0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:31.920 and you see what happened. Not getting back all tracked 0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:33.560 though you know he was. He was a five yards 0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:36.680 average coming into the game. So right now the Cowboys 0:11:36.720 --> 0:11:40.839 have a running back tandem that I think everybody has 0:11:40.840 --> 0:11:43.120 to say, wait a minute, man. They can do multiple 0:11:43.200 --> 0:11:46.640 things and feel position ball control as much as everybody 0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:48.960 wants to get say, this is a passing league. You 0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:51.120 see what Kelly Moore is doing. He's saying, look, man, 0:11:51.160 --> 0:11:52.960 when we have those games where we can grind it 0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:56.720 out like we do and that can play efficiently the 0:11:56.760 --> 0:12:00.439 way that he did in this game, and it's complimentary football. 0:12:00.440 --> 0:12:03.480 We love to use that complimentary football and I love 0:12:03.480 --> 0:12:05.240 it when I see it. It's a great team win 0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:07.720 and you're ahead. And I was gonna say, I think 0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:09.720 we talked a lot. I know, at least I do 0:12:09.880 --> 0:12:12.520 about Dan Quinn and how I always say he's gonna 0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:15.160 match the personnel. Right, He's not gonna try to do 0:12:15.200 --> 0:12:17.120 the same thing every week. Right, He's gonna mix it up, 0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:19.120 and you're gonna have different personnel playing against guys based 0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:21.320 upon what that team presents. I think we're starting to 0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:24.319 see that that really starts to develop in Kellen Moore. Right. 0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:26.120 You think about like, oh, Jason Garty, Jason Garrey was 0:12:26.120 --> 0:12:28.320 gonna run the same freaking thing no matter what team 0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:30.080 he was facing. It was gonna be the same offense. 0:12:30.200 --> 0:12:32.000 It doesn't matter. This is what we do. And that 0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:34.360 doesn't work in this league. And I think we're seeing 0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:37.440 the adaptation of Kellen Moore and his ability now to 0:12:37.600 --> 0:12:40.080 change things up based upon who he's going against. And 0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:42.719 that is very inspiring to see in his development. And 0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:45.840 let me just say this, and we've had this conversation 0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:49.280 before about offensive coordinators and their scheme. They believe in 0:12:49.320 --> 0:12:52.640 their scheme more than every anything. And I won't call 0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:55.280 it arrogance, but these guys get paid to be these 0:12:55.679 --> 0:12:59.880 brain children of offense, and there's a tad bit of arrogance. 0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:02.720 But I'm just yes, I just want to save that. 0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:06.480 But but you see when what Kellen Moore is doing, Look, 0:13:06.520 --> 0:13:08.360 you want to take this away from us, Okay, we're 0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:11.559 gonna give you this instead of just running into the 0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:14.240 teeth of that of that defense. And that's the one 0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:16.720 thing that I think I praise Kellen Moore for coming 0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:19.959 into and having these game plans that I think allows 0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:23.120 Dak to work and be the quarterback that we've needed 0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:25.360 him to be and not try to force something something. 0:13:25.640 --> 0:13:27.200 And I think, you know, there's gonna be a lot 0:13:27.200 --> 0:13:28.640 of people to say he only threw for like one 0:13:28.720 --> 0:13:32.640 hundred and eighty eight yards or something like but four touchdowns. Look, man, 0:13:32.679 --> 0:13:34.439 it doesn't matter. I mean, you could play throw for 0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:37.120 five hundred yards and still losing this league. That's one 0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:39.680 of the things that gets me so excited is that 0:13:39.920 --> 0:13:42.559 Kelln Moore is an offensive coordinator. Like you said, sure, 0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:45.360 these coordinators are just honed in on their schemes, but 0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:48.360 his is ever changing. His is evolving. I mean you're 0:13:48.360 --> 0:13:50.600 seeing it grow in front of your own eyes. Like 0:13:50.679 --> 0:13:53.040 I feel like every week the playbook adds on a 0:13:53.080 --> 0:13:55.280 little bit more as we continue on and on and on, 0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:57.960 and then you see it unveiled on Sundays or Mondays 0:13:58.040 --> 0:14:00.719 or whenever the Cowboys end up playing. I love that. 0:14:01.040 --> 0:14:03.240 I love that you have a young offensive coordinator that 0:14:03.320 --> 0:14:05.640 is coming into his own and that is finally finding 0:14:05.640 --> 0:14:08.240 a rhythm. And also, if you look down the rest 0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:11.120 of the schedule, name one defense that scares you as 0:14:11.200 --> 0:14:13.679 much as that of what you faced the first three 0:14:13.720 --> 0:14:15.840 weeks or four weeks of the season. There's not There's 0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:17.920 not one. I mean not one. I mean there's some 0:14:17.960 --> 0:14:21.920 good weeks. Yeah, yeah, there's some good ones. But it's 0:14:21.960 --> 0:14:24.640 a coordinator's dream. I mean you almost forget about Blake 0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:26.360 Jarwin and here he is in the red zone with 0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:28.280 a touchdown. They just have and they're not even I 0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:30.920 mean they're missing Michael Gallup, they're missing their right tackle. 0:14:31.000 --> 0:14:34.880 It's not it's not perfect. Yeah, but Kellen's got a 0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:37.280 lot to work with right now. And I think there 0:14:37.360 --> 0:14:39.680 is an egos. I mean, Mike McCarthy said it a 0:14:39.680 --> 0:14:41.840 few weeks ago, like it's more fun to call pass 0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:44.320 play than a run play. Yeah, for no, See, you 0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:46.520 can flex your muscles a little bit, you know, but 0:14:47.040 --> 0:14:50.640 they don't have to do that here. And that's what's 0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:53.360 so I mean. And there's no ego with Dak Prescott either. 0:14:53.360 --> 0:14:55.360 I think we talk we always talk about Zeke like, 0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:58.400 you know, he's willing to sacrifice and take less touch 0:14:58.440 --> 0:15:01.360 as Dak one hundred eighty eight passing yards in this game. 0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:03.680 He makes more money than anybody and he doesn't seem 0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:06.440 to care, so it helps when you're winning. Surprised by 0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:09.400 he didn't get afterwards he did? I mean that was 0:15:09.560 --> 0:15:11.160 That's an odd stat line. To get one hundred and 0:15:11.160 --> 0:15:13.320 eighty eight yards and four touchdown passes only the fifth 0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:16.760 time in his career he's done that. Wow, that's pretty impressive. 0:15:16.800 --> 0:15:19.280 And it goes back to what Heckman was saying in fact, 0:15:19.320 --> 0:15:21.000 in the fact that you don't have to have Dak 0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:23.760 Prescott throwing the rock around. I mean, you don't have 0:15:23.840 --> 0:15:26.280 to have that happen because now you're seeing the value 0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:29.440 of having a guy like Zeke. And we talked about 0:15:29.480 --> 0:15:31.080 it before we came on air. This was a game 0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:34.800 that early on Carolina came act you, but Carolina punched 0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:36.120 you in the mouth a couple of times in that 0:15:36.160 --> 0:15:39.600 first quarter. Guess what the Cowboys did. They punched rightly. 0:15:40.040 --> 0:15:42.400 And that was what was maybe the most encouraging thing 0:15:42.480 --> 0:15:46.240 for me to watch yesterday, was that punch and CounterPunch. Yeah, 0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:48.160 that you saw between the two sides. That's why I 0:15:48.200 --> 0:15:50.000 was so excited for this game because I knew that. 0:15:50.000 --> 0:15:51.680 I knew that Carolina was going to bring that based 0:15:51.760 --> 0:15:53.840 upon just their coaching staff, right, And we talked about 0:15:53.880 --> 0:15:55.560 the game was gonna be a player base or it 0:15:55.600 --> 0:15:57.280 was gonna be coordinator base, right, which one was gonna 0:15:57.280 --> 0:15:59.440 have the biggest impact. Obviously, the players execute what the 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:02.000 colored cords call. But there's a battle on the field, 0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:03.600 and there's a battle up in the box, and I 0:16:03.640 --> 0:16:05.840 think we saw that too, But in terms of the 0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:08.720 battle on the field, I was I couldn't wait. I 0:16:08.800 --> 0:16:10.880 was so I was so excited to see how were 0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:12.720 we going to respond? Because knew we're gonna get punched 0:16:12.720 --> 0:16:14.400 in the mouth. How are we going to respond? And 0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:17.120 I'm I was so excited to see that these guys 0:16:17.160 --> 0:16:20.200 punched back. That's a physical it's super physical, damn. But 0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:21.840 that's what you want to see. Yeah we have talent, 0:16:21.920 --> 0:16:24.200 Yeah we have great coordinators. But what happens when you 0:16:24.200 --> 0:16:26.880 face that adversity? What happens when is when some things 0:16:26.920 --> 0:16:29.000 go wrong. What happens when you get busted in the mouth, 0:16:29.040 --> 0:16:30.560 you get popped in or you bumble the ball two 0:16:30.600 --> 0:16:33.320 times at the first quarter. Right, those are the things 0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:34.920 that you want to see you about yourself. Your team 0:16:34.920 --> 0:16:36.880 bounced back from and that's what happened. The boys came 0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:38.720 back and now all of a sudden, now you can 0:16:38.760 --> 0:16:40.560 say these boys, these boys are ready to take on 0:16:40.680 --> 0:16:42.280 take it on. You could have laid down there and 0:16:42.280 --> 0:16:44.840 you didn't. Absolutely, that was a huge thing. Team did 0:16:45.040 --> 0:16:47.960 to answer the other team did, right, the other team did. 0:16:48.120 --> 0:16:50.840 He can't stop smiling. It's a good day. No, he's 0:16:50.840 --> 0:16:53.520 looking at me. He's basically I told you, it's what 0:16:53.600 --> 0:16:56.320 he's saying because and you know what, You're right, You're right. 0:16:56.480 --> 0:16:58.600 I think Carolina is legit. I think they're going to 0:16:58.600 --> 0:17:01.400 compete to win their division. I really do. But it 0:17:01.520 --> 0:17:06.520 was an early sample size. Okay, it was two halves 0:17:06.760 --> 0:17:09.240 for sure, but it did. I mentioned a game a 0:17:09.280 --> 0:17:12.200 few years ago that it reminded me of. It's still early. 0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:15.960 It was that twenty sixteen Green Bay game. Green Bay 0:17:16.000 --> 0:17:18.800 was averaging only forty two yards allowed on the ground 0:17:19.040 --> 0:17:21.320 to that point. It was historic low through the first 0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:23.720 four games of the season. Zeke hit him with one 0:17:23.840 --> 0:17:26.320 fifty seven in that game. And that's what I mean. 0:17:26.640 --> 0:17:28.720 They had not run into an offense quite like this, 0:17:28.880 --> 0:17:30.640 and they may not run into an offense that's good 0:17:30.680 --> 0:17:33.000 the whole year. We'll see. That might have been a 0:17:33.040 --> 0:17:36.440 cow bite right there. I like that they haven't run 0:17:36.480 --> 0:17:40.000 into an offense like the Dallas Cowboys. When we come back, 0:17:40.119 --> 0:17:41.880 we're gonna talk a little bit more on the defensive 0:17:41.920 --> 0:17:44.520 side of the football and just exactly what has been 0:17:44.560 --> 0:17:47.439 successful for Dan Quinn and some of the different schemes 0:17:47.440 --> 0:17:52.000 that we saw yesterday. And did we see that Michael Parsons, Well, 0:17:52.040 --> 0:17:55.280 he's good on both the linebacker and the defensive line 0:17:55.280 --> 0:17:57.720 a couple different times yesterday, but he also had a 0:17:57.760 --> 0:18:01.280 couple of learning moments in that win over Carolina. Stick 0:18:01.320 --> 0:18:04.320 with us, we'll be right back on talking Cowboys. Honey, 0:18:04.400 --> 0:18:07.600 big news. Gary, Are you okay?

How 0:20:38.440 --> 0:20:43.040 about you, Isaiah dam Bill, Rob Phillips wonderful all but 0:20:43.200 --> 0:20:46.760 smiles over on Rob's side of things, and Kyle Yeoman's 0:20:46.800 --> 0:20:49.119 here and we're breaking down the defense a little bit, 0:20:49.160 --> 0:20:52.600 and the physicality from the defense is certainly something to 0:20:52.600 --> 0:20:55.600 be excited about. I want to ask you really quickly, though, 0:20:56.160 --> 0:20:59.080 clean or not clean on Demante Kaz's hit, because that 0:20:59.119 --> 0:21:00.960 was the hardest hit of the year by far from 0:21:01.000 --> 0:21:02.840 this defense, and there was a flack thrown on it 0:21:02.960 --> 0:21:06.320 that was clean as a baby's bottom. I thought so too. Yeah, 0:21:06.359 --> 0:21:08.960 that was clean. I know some baby bottoms that are 0:21:08.960 --> 0:21:13.880 not cleaning. Cleaning in the board of health, you know what. 0:21:14.000 --> 0:21:16.040 But I think what happens though in football is they 0:21:16.119 --> 0:21:19.679 just like over legislate certain things and they just calling 0:21:19.720 --> 0:21:21.600 it calling it calling and you see that, and like 0:21:22.160 --> 0:21:25.439 in in college in the college has to replay that 0:21:25.480 --> 0:21:28.600 they do. But anytime there's like an ool hit, oh 0:21:28.600 --> 0:21:32.400 it's automatic foul targeting and guy has to go sit 0:21:32.520 --> 0:21:35.480 on the sidelines. Look, man, that I don't know how 0:21:35.560 --> 0:21:38.600 much better that was textbook? I mean, and especially when 0:21:38.640 --> 0:21:40.240 you played in the league and you know God's can 0:21:40.400 --> 0:21:43.639 clean your clock in a situation like that. And I 0:21:43.680 --> 0:21:46.040 think that quarn Sam Donald just threw them into a headache. 0:21:46.200 --> 0:21:49.119 Was a medicine ball, you ask me. They set us 0:21:49.200 --> 0:21:52.240 up for that fifteen yards man, he threw them into 0:21:52.320 --> 0:21:56.880 us in her favor in against us. It's been both 0:21:56.920 --> 0:22:00.240 ways this year. This is the referee, just man. But 0:22:00.720 --> 0:22:04.120 when Dalton shows when he fumbled that second time, I 0:22:04.160 --> 0:22:06.159 had that feeling like, man, your carriage is about to 0:22:06.160 --> 0:22:09.200 turn to a pumpkin because that's two on you in 0:22:09.280 --> 0:22:12.840 the same drive. And yeah, within four play boy, that 0:22:12.920 --> 0:22:15.240 was that was bad heat man favorite fair. He got 0:22:15.280 --> 0:22:17.720 it on that right, Yeah, buddy, Yeah, the Cowboys got 0:22:17.800 --> 0:22:19.480 a break on that one. I just wanted to bring 0:22:19.560 --> 0:22:21.800 up the Kaz hit because I thought it was clean. 0:22:21.880 --> 0:22:24.280 Isaiah Berry Nate Nude almost lost his mind in the 0:22:24.320 --> 0:22:26.640 studio because we were all like, that's a clean hit 0:22:26.760 --> 0:22:29.480 and that shouldn't have been flagged. But Kazy, I mean, 0:22:29.680 --> 0:22:32.760 he almost had an interception yesterday. He's played Carolina more 0:22:32.760 --> 0:22:35.280 than anybody on that Cowboys defense during his time. Yeah, 0:22:35.320 --> 0:22:38.239 definitely right, He's he was familiar with them, even with 0:22:38.320 --> 0:22:40.360 the new look. He was familiar with what they were doing. 0:22:40.400 --> 0:22:42.679 Speaking of the safety secondary, Do we have any updates 0:22:42.720 --> 0:22:47.399 on Curse? On Curse, I don't think he was not 0:22:47.440 --> 0:22:50.400 on the injury wise, Yeah there was. He came back again. Yeah. 0:22:51.600 --> 0:22:54.680 Only guys listed coming out were Amari with the hamstring 0:22:54.680 --> 0:22:59.000 that he played through, Um Brandon Knight had an illness 0:22:59.240 --> 0:23:01.880 non COVID really late and I don't think he wasn't 0:23:01.920 --> 0:23:07.440 available and then uh Digs with backpasas. Yeah, it was 0:23:07.440 --> 0:23:10.520 called player management, I guess from during the broadcast, but 0:23:10.560 --> 0:23:12.520 they it was something that popped up in the first half. 0:23:12.560 --> 0:23:17.439 Can we address anybody who's questioned how tough Coop is. 0:23:18.680 --> 0:23:20.000 There's a lot of people out there that feel like 0:23:20.000 --> 0:23:21.919 Coop is soft or you know, and I and I 0:23:21.960 --> 0:23:23.639 know Coop came out and made that statement earlier this 0:23:23.720 --> 0:23:25.840 year and he's really standing behind that in terms of 0:23:25.920 --> 0:23:27.200 I can't be the best in the league if I 0:23:27.200 --> 0:23:29.480 don't play. When this boy tweaked his hammy in the 0:23:29.520 --> 0:23:32.200 first quarter. For anybody who's never tweaked a hammy before, 0:23:33.400 --> 0:23:36.360 usually that's you gotta tell you gotta sit down. Yeah, 0:23:36.400 --> 0:23:38.439 you know, regardless of how how bad, how how you 0:23:38.480 --> 0:23:40.800 do it. If you tweak it, it's it's tweaked and 0:23:40.800 --> 0:23:43.960 it is going to stay there. I was very surprised 0:23:44.119 --> 0:23:45.480 to see him come back in the game we talked 0:23:45.480 --> 0:23:47.480 about in the studio. I was like, yeah, he's done. 0:23:47.480 --> 0:23:49.919 He tweaked it. He's out. It's a hammy. You got 0:23:50.200 --> 0:23:51.760 to go out. And the next you know, he comes 0:23:51.800 --> 0:23:53.400 back in. And the whole time I was holding my breath. 0:23:53.400 --> 0:23:55.840 I'm like, oh, crap, all right, I'll shoot it. Hopefully 0:23:55.840 --> 0:24:00.600 he does. It was a double move, the double move, 0:24:00.640 --> 0:24:02.280 and then but then you turn around and he's gasing 0:24:02.280 --> 0:24:05.080 on CJ. Henderson. I'm like, this dude is playing through 0:24:05.080 --> 0:24:08.320 a honey tweak, Like how and he burns CJ? Yeah, 0:24:08.400 --> 0:24:10.880 he wait a bad hemmy right, And I'm like, how's 0:24:10.920 --> 0:24:12.560 he doing that? So for everybody out there that has 0:24:12.680 --> 0:24:16.040 question marks about the heart and resilience of cool, stop it. 0:24:16.560 --> 0:24:18.720 I asked McCarthy about it last night and he said 0:24:19.200 --> 0:24:21.960 he had told the guys on Saturday night team meeting, 0:24:22.119 --> 0:24:24.320 everybody get there a little early, you know, just kind 0:24:24.320 --> 0:24:26.640 of take care of business, get ready to play. Said 0:24:26.760 --> 0:24:28.520 Maria was the first one, the first one there, he said, 0:24:28.560 --> 0:24:30.399 I was the second one there. Mary was there first. 0:24:30.560 --> 0:24:32.320 And that's a guy, I mean guy dealing with crack 0:24:32.440 --> 0:24:34.720 rib trying to get himself ready to play, and then 0:24:34.760 --> 0:24:37.800 something pops up first first drive and he's able to 0:24:37.840 --> 0:24:40.320 play through it. Man, that's yappresive and have a touchdown 0:24:40.359 --> 0:24:42.560 pass and be the team's leading receiver in a game 0:24:42.600 --> 0:24:44.679 where you didn't you didn't really have a ton of 0:24:44.680 --> 0:24:47.560 options in the passing game. Ceedee Lamb was blanketed yesterday. 0:24:47.760 --> 0:24:50.600 Great coverage from the Carolina defense. And then of course 0:24:50.720 --> 0:24:53.320 Dak the way that he was swallowed up in that 0:24:53.400 --> 0:24:56.320 first half, really had to get it underneath to try 0:24:56.320 --> 0:24:58.520 and complete a couple of passes. But I want to 0:24:58.560 --> 0:25:01.000 go back to the defense here, and you mentioned Jon Curse. 0:25:01.200 --> 0:25:05.239 Another solid game from Curse physically, and honestly, I think 0:25:05.280 --> 0:25:07.480 it's getting to the point where you're questioning whether or 0:25:07.480 --> 0:25:09.520 not when Donovan Wilson comes back, if he's got a 0:25:09.600 --> 0:25:13.320 job at the moment, right do you Am I the 0:25:13.320 --> 0:25:15.880 only one thinking that because of the way that Curse 0:25:16.000 --> 0:25:17.600 is playing and the way that he's able to cover. 0:25:17.800 --> 0:25:20.440 I hear what you're saying. I hear what you're saying. 0:25:20.880 --> 0:25:23.440 With this defense and dan Quinn's approach I think everybody's 0:25:23.440 --> 0:25:25.080 out there. You know, if you're if you're on the 0:25:25.320 --> 0:25:26.760 if you're you're on the act of the forty eight 0:25:26.760 --> 0:25:28.560 act of whatever it is, then you're playing. You see 0:25:28.560 --> 0:25:30.879 that with at the other safety spot, with Kasey and Hooker. 0:25:30.920 --> 0:25:32.520 These guys are rotating through. I don't think there's too 0:25:32.560 --> 0:25:35.879 many positions that we could just say they're starting. You're starter, 0:25:36.000 --> 0:25:37.880 and you start the whole rest of the game. These 0:25:37.880 --> 0:25:40.399 guys are rotating through and everybody's having an impact. And 0:25:40.440 --> 0:25:43.080 that's what we're talking about, this culture of competitiveness, and 0:25:43.080 --> 0:25:45.320 you know, and everybody wanted to wanting to have a 0:25:45.440 --> 0:25:47.240 have a part in it, Like I want to get 0:25:47.240 --> 0:25:48.919 in on this. Let me make a play, like all right, 0:25:48.920 --> 0:25:51.000 get in there, cool, all right, make a play solid, 0:25:51.040 --> 0:25:52.760 all right now, Now I'll get you in a rotation. 0:25:52.760 --> 0:25:54.679 Now you have to earn your keep around here. And 0:25:54.800 --> 0:25:56.240 if you don't earn your keep, and you can find 0:25:56.280 --> 0:25:59.679 yourself not suiting up right. I think we may have 0:25:59.720 --> 0:26:02.240 under estimated to run Curse in the acquisition of him 0:26:02.240 --> 0:26:04.439 in free agency. We may have looked at him as 0:26:04.480 --> 0:26:06.879 just the special team's ace, and he's proven us that 0:26:07.000 --> 0:26:09.640 he has more than just that, especially in this run 0:26:09.680 --> 0:26:13.080 pass option league that we're in. When you have a 0:26:13.080 --> 0:26:15.120 six four, two hundred and ten pound guy that can 0:26:15.119 --> 0:26:17.880 seal the edge, blitz and also cover a tight end, 0:26:18.119 --> 0:26:21.160 he's just special. And I think the difference between him 0:26:21.160 --> 0:26:24.120 and Wilson and this simple size that we've gotten from him, 0:26:24.440 --> 0:26:27.560 it says kind of showing us that, look, he may 0:26:27.640 --> 0:26:31.480 be someone that can be should be elevated. But you're right, 0:26:31.640 --> 0:26:35.280 in this culture, everybody's going to get an opportunity to play, 0:26:35.280 --> 0:26:37.480 and you saw that yesterday with some of the younger 0:26:37.480 --> 0:26:40.040 guys getting some burn at the end of the fourth 0:26:40.200 --> 0:26:43.480 and they play this big nickel a lot. So Curse 0:26:43.520 --> 0:26:46.119 had sixty seven snaps in the game, Kaz didn't come 0:26:46.119 --> 0:26:48.280 off the field at sixty eight. Wow, and Hooker's in 0:26:48.400 --> 0:26:51.040 for twenty eight. So that's a lot of plays. That's 0:26:51.040 --> 0:26:54.160 a lot, and he was man, he was so active too. 0:26:54.600 --> 0:26:56.800 But yeah, I think there's a rotation there and the 0:26:56.840 --> 0:26:59.439 way he plays his safeties, there's a chance for Donovan 0:26:59.480 --> 0:27:02.400 to come in and I mean his physicality. I think 0:27:02.560 --> 0:27:04.399 that's the only another layer that he can add when 0:27:04.440 --> 0:27:07.480 he comes back. But you have this is the most 0:27:07.520 --> 0:27:10.040 safety depth. What it looks like through four games that 0:27:10.080 --> 0:27:12.960 they've had in I don't know how long, and defensive 0:27:12.960 --> 0:27:18.160 line dep and linebacker depth yep, all quarterback Depp there's depth. 0:27:18.359 --> 0:27:20.360 And like I said, I think it all goes back 0:27:20.359 --> 0:27:22.879 to that culture man. Obviously, obviously the scouting department and 0:27:22.960 --> 0:27:25.880 what they did in the draft and offseason acquisition is awesome. 0:27:26.000 --> 0:27:28.120 But we've seen it where we've had the players right, 0:27:28.240 --> 0:27:30.080 We've seen it where we had the players getting the 0:27:30.119 --> 0:27:33.520 players to buy in two different things. Imagine having Nail 0:27:33.600 --> 0:27:36.639 back in this situation with the way that the linebackers 0:27:36.640 --> 0:27:39.400 are playing. I think Lvie had a couple of reps 0:27:39.520 --> 0:27:42.040 with tight ends where he's trying to cover running backs 0:27:42.040 --> 0:27:44.280 where it didn't look too good. Yeah, but you know, 0:27:44.359 --> 0:27:47.680 you gotta you want your defense to get that pressure basically, 0:27:47.760 --> 0:27:49.840 and we were not able to kind of exposed some 0:27:49.920 --> 0:27:51.600 of those weaknesses. But back to what you were saying 0:27:51.640 --> 0:27:55.440 about Micah, I felt like, Yeah, Micah has his rookie 0:27:55.440 --> 0:27:57.480 moments where you see him may get caught up in 0:27:57.480 --> 0:28:01.000 the wash, but everything he's doing is going forward, he's trying, 0:28:01.040 --> 0:28:04.560 he's and what I'm saying is as far as getting 0:28:04.560 --> 0:28:06.760 that penetration in the middle of the defense, the way 0:28:06.760 --> 0:28:08.760 that he attacks the run. Then you see him get 0:28:08.760 --> 0:28:10.920 out on the edge and still get pressure and hits 0:28:10.960 --> 0:28:13.400 on the quarterback. I like that. Yeah, I think everything 0:28:13.440 --> 0:28:16.160 where you're saying. We talked about it in the break, Mica. 0:28:16.359 --> 0:28:17.760 I want I don't want him to run any think 0:28:17.800 --> 0:28:19.080 that he had a bad game. Let me let me 0:28:19.119 --> 0:28:20.760 not say that. I said he had his worst game 0:28:21.160 --> 0:28:23.199 so far. That's that's that's still saying that he had 0:28:23.200 --> 0:28:25.240 a good game. He's been bawling, he's running for those 0:28:25.240 --> 0:28:28.680 first three weeks. Um, he just didn't impact the game 0:28:29.160 --> 0:28:31.040 and the way that most fans see it. Let me 0:28:31.160 --> 0:28:33.440 let me put it that way. Most fans see the sacks, 0:28:33.800 --> 0:28:36.480 most fans see the pressures, right, they don't see all 0:28:36.520 --> 0:28:38.760 the other elements most of the time that the analysts do, 0:28:38.800 --> 0:28:41.160 in terms of him and running stunts in front of him, 0:28:41.880 --> 0:28:43.719 in the sense of him running blitz is and and 0:28:43.760 --> 0:28:46.280 taking two offensive alignment allowing his other guys to rerund 0:28:46.280 --> 0:28:48.440 their stunts and come free. Right, those guys are doing 0:28:48.440 --> 0:28:50.440 it at their job. But they don't. They don't. They're 0:28:50.480 --> 0:28:52.760 not just coming free because guys forgot about them. They're 0:28:52.760 --> 0:28:54.440 coming free because one of the other guys took the 0:28:54.480 --> 0:28:57.240 attention of the office alignment. So Parsons affected the game 0:28:57.600 --> 0:29:01.160 drastically in other ways. Um, I think that he had 0:29:01.200 --> 0:29:04.160 been physically dominant through those first three weeks, and I 0:29:04.200 --> 0:29:06.120 think there was a couple of times, I know, we 0:29:06.120 --> 0:29:08.040 were in the studio watching he running. He ran up 0:29:08.040 --> 0:29:10.560 against some grown men yesterday, and you got to see 0:29:10.560 --> 0:29:13.320 that starter on his face, like craft, I can't, I 0:29:13.360 --> 0:29:15.480 can't dog everybody. He was like, yeah, okay, you welcome 0:29:15.520 --> 0:29:17.200 to the NFL. You know, But I mean he's not. 0:29:17.200 --> 0:29:19.120 He's no, he's no punk, so he ain't gonna back down. 0:29:19.320 --> 0:29:21.360 But uh, I mean yeah, but every like to your point, 0:29:21.440 --> 0:29:23.440 you have those rickey moments you wake up, you find 0:29:23.480 --> 0:29:25.240 out okay, yea, I gotta I might have to change 0:29:25.240 --> 0:29:27.240 my approach on this, on this gentleman right here, because 0:29:27.240 --> 0:29:28.800 he he'd been in the weight room a couple more 0:29:28.880 --> 0:29:30.400 days than me. What I liked about it was he 0:29:30.440 --> 0:29:33.040 only he played all but two snaps that he played 0:29:33.280 --> 0:29:35.680 there you go. He played sixty eight snaps, and so 0:29:35.960 --> 0:29:38.680 we mean you get more snaps at linebacker than at DN. 0:29:38.800 --> 0:29:41.440 He played damn near I belayed SAPs double what he 0:29:41.480 --> 0:29:43.800 played last week. Yeah, it's probably true. Thirty more snaps, 0:29:43.840 --> 0:29:46.800 because what was it thirty seven seven three? Yeah? Yeah? 0:29:46.840 --> 0:29:48.800 And where do you think he was most ineffective if 0:29:48.800 --> 0:29:50.480 you're saying that this is the worst of the games 0:29:50.480 --> 0:29:53.200 that he has an end or was it at linebacker? 0:29:53.240 --> 0:29:56.520 I think ineffective at d ND. Okay, yeah, inefective at 0:29:56.560 --> 0:29:58.640 d ND. The reason why because he affects the game 0:29:59.160 --> 0:30:02.560 more linebacker, even though he may not be the person 0:30:02.640 --> 0:30:05.440 making the plays, he's enabling other people to make plays. 0:30:05.480 --> 0:30:07.840 But when when he's at the linebacker position, he could 0:30:07.880 --> 0:30:11.200 rush right, he could blitz, he can cover, he hit 0:30:11.240 --> 0:30:13.840 anybody across the middle. And he played sixty eight snaps 0:30:13.800 --> 0:30:16.960 instead of thirty eight. Just to play Devil's advocate here, 0:30:17.680 --> 0:30:20.600 Just to play Devil's advocate here, you're saying the game 0:30:20.640 --> 0:30:23.880 in which he played linebacker and more snaps at AKA yesterday, 0:30:24.000 --> 0:30:25.880 it's his worst game of the year in terms of 0:30:26.000 --> 0:30:29.440 him stat line. Okay, that's what I'm talking about. Stat line. 0:30:29.480 --> 0:30:31.360 That's why I went back and clarify stat line, right, 0:30:31.440 --> 0:30:34.080 what most people to see as success, right, But in 0:30:34.160 --> 0:30:36.320 terms of football wise, I think he played a good game. 0:30:36.320 --> 0:30:39.240 He just got out physical. No, I completely understand what 0:30:39.280 --> 0:30:41.600 you're saying, but the way that you're wording it, I 0:30:41.640 --> 0:30:45.480 think is the no. You're wording it right. He's affecting 0:30:45.520 --> 0:30:47.880 every part of the game. When he lines up over 0:30:47.920 --> 0:30:50.640 the center, Sam Donald has to take account for number 0:30:50.640 --> 0:30:52.840 eleven being over there. If he's on the right side 0:30:52.880 --> 0:30:55.760 of the defensive end, the whole offensive line has to 0:30:55.840 --> 0:31:00.480 understand where number eleven is, and other guys are definitely 0:31:00.560 --> 0:31:02.920 getting their numbers up based off of where number eleven 0:31:03.040 --> 0:31:05.479 is from the opposite side. I got you, no, make 0:31:05.600 --> 0:31:07.040 that makes a lot of sense, and the whole front 0:31:07.080 --> 0:31:09.400 seven benefits from having a guy behind him. I mean, 0:31:09.440 --> 0:31:11.160 look at the five sacks yesterday and going back to 0:31:11.200 --> 0:31:13.440 what you were saying yes or earlier in the first segment, 0:31:13.800 --> 0:31:16.840 thirty one sacks all year last year for the Cowboys. 0:31:16.840 --> 0:31:20.000 They had five yesterday. If they continue that, that's that's 0:31:20.040 --> 0:31:22.120 on pace for eighty five sacks in a year. That's 0:31:22.160 --> 0:31:24.880 not gonna happen. They had thirty one sacks last year 0:31:25.200 --> 0:31:29.640 as a team thirty one. The Cowboys had five yesterday, 0:31:29.760 --> 0:31:32.160 But if they keep up the current pace, they're on 0:31:32.240 --> 0:31:35.240 pace for over forty. So there's a chance they could 0:31:35.240 --> 0:31:38.040 continue upping that, especially if they have five sacks a 0:31:38.160 --> 0:31:40.120 game and they're able to get pressure. And they did 0:31:40.120 --> 0:31:43.600 that yesterday without DeMarcus Lawrence, again, without Torrence Armstrong, again 0:31:43.640 --> 0:31:46.800 without Carlos Watkins, without keana'neil on the backside. I mean, 0:31:46.880 --> 0:31:49.240 the front seven is still getting to the football and 0:31:49.280 --> 0:31:52.360 they made things tough in that second half for Sam Darnold. Yeah, 0:31:52.400 --> 0:31:55.080 and I want to go back and watch it, but 0:31:55.120 --> 0:31:57.000 I feel like he'd be just became a rusher in 0:31:57.040 --> 0:31:58.680 the fourth quarter. They just they just said, look, we 0:31:58.880 --> 0:32:01.120 got the big lead, We're just gonna off. And what 0:32:01.200 --> 0:32:03.400 I love is when I don't I gotta see back 0:32:03.440 --> 0:32:05.240 how many times they did it. But when they overload 0:32:05.680 --> 0:32:08.800 one side, they put Gregory Parsons on the same side. 0:32:08.920 --> 0:32:11.480 But that's not fair. That's a problem, dude, Like that's 0:32:12.280 --> 0:32:14.280 I just love what Quinn is doing in terms of 0:32:14.320 --> 0:32:17.800 moving guys around, um changing up different looks, and look, 0:32:17.840 --> 0:32:20.760 they got burned sometimes in the first half. Darnold's legs 0:32:20.800 --> 0:32:23.840 beat them, you know, and they would move Mica down 0:32:23.840 --> 0:32:25.600 and then they might they give up a couple runs. 0:32:25.600 --> 0:32:27.440 They put him back at linebacker to kind I don't 0:32:27.440 --> 0:32:28.840 know if he's spying or if he's just kind of 0:32:28.840 --> 0:32:31.560 there covering backs out of the backfield. I just like 0:32:31.720 --> 0:32:33.560 him doing that because it means he's on the field 0:32:33.600 --> 0:32:36.680 all the time. They're not They're not worried about his 0:32:36.000 --> 0:32:39.200 his REPS or his GPS or whatever. They're just saying, like, 0:32:39.400 --> 0:32:41.240 just go out and play. Get after yeah, be a 0:32:41.320 --> 0:32:43.720 hybrid guy. What did you think about Randy Gregory. We 0:32:43.720 --> 0:32:45.560 haven't had a chance to talk about him yet. Two 0:32:45.560 --> 0:32:48.320 sacks yesterday, a third multi sack game of his career. 0:32:48.800 --> 0:32:50.960 I mean, he got after it again and he finished 0:32:50.960 --> 0:32:53.600 on a couple of occasions in big time moments in 0:32:53.640 --> 0:32:56.080 the first half. That's what you ask for. I mean, 0:32:56.120 --> 0:32:58.520 I think that's what everybody expects. Obviously, he's been through 0:32:58.560 --> 0:33:00.800 a lot in these past few years, and he's worked 0:33:00.840 --> 0:33:03.080 his way back to where he is now. I think 0:33:03.120 --> 0:33:05.320 he's you can see his maturity even in his interviews. 0:33:05.400 --> 0:33:09.200 You can see his growth mentally. And when you're mentally 0:33:09.280 --> 0:33:12.320 prepared and you're mentally there fit, your physical just follows 0:33:12.320 --> 0:33:15.160 when you're when you're built like him, he's a physical specimen. 0:33:15.480 --> 0:33:17.840 So you know when he looks like he's in a good, 0:33:18.080 --> 0:33:20.480 good mindset and it's showing on the field. I mean, 0:33:20.480 --> 0:33:22.640 nobody physically can stop him as long as he's as 0:33:22.640 --> 0:33:24.840 long as he's mentally ready to roll. I completely agree. 0:33:24.920 --> 0:33:27.280 It's a testament to his hard work. And you see it. 0:33:27.600 --> 0:33:31.040 I mean he's fresh. Whatever was ailing him. I know 0:33:31.120 --> 0:33:33.120 he had a knee or something like that coming into 0:33:33.160 --> 0:33:35.320 the game, but it didn't look like it limited anything 0:33:35.360 --> 0:33:38.120 that he was doing. Quinn, as you stated at me, 0:33:38.520 --> 0:33:41.360 he's changing up his looks, those stunts that it just 0:33:41.440 --> 0:33:44.960 looked like the Panthers couldn't deal with it. And ninety four, man, 0:33:45.120 --> 0:33:49.000 I love seeing those having those redemption stories like that man, 0:33:49.040 --> 0:33:52.400 because he played his tail off and it wasn't so 0:33:52.480 --> 0:33:55.640 much of the sacks that it was the pressure as well, 0:33:55.680 --> 0:33:58.120 and they had to account for him and they had 0:33:58.120 --> 0:34:00.400 to account for Mica. But there were other guys that 0:34:00.440 --> 0:34:03.000 got in on the actors well man to rail bash him. Yeah, 0:34:03.120 --> 0:34:06.240 we've been waiting on bash him and he's he's proving 0:34:07.120 --> 0:34:10.520 his worth through free agency. Man, He's just a lot 0:34:10.560 --> 0:34:12.680 of guys that we've been counting on are having those 0:34:12.680 --> 0:34:15.279 good games and whether it be Kazee, whether it be 0:34:15.320 --> 0:34:19.399 cursed in safety's making big plays. That's just man, it's 0:34:19.400 --> 0:34:21.520 just awesome to see this defense playing like this and 0:34:21.600 --> 0:34:25.040 just completely being remodeled from last year. You mentioned toughness 0:34:25.080 --> 0:34:30.400 with Amar. Randy did that too, because he was saying Friday, 0:34:30.440 --> 0:34:31.840 I mean, he was questionable for the game. He was 0:34:31.880 --> 0:34:35.600 always gonna play, I think, but he's had some some 0:34:35.680 --> 0:34:38.480 swelling in his knee after every game this year. It's 0:34:38.480 --> 0:34:40.360 been swalling up on him. Something they got to treat, 0:34:40.400 --> 0:34:41.880 he said. It goes back to he's been kind of 0:34:41.960 --> 0:34:45.080 dealing with stuff like that since Nebraska. So and there 0:34:45.120 --> 0:34:46.520 was a point during the game where he came out 0:34:46.560 --> 0:34:48.239 and he looked like he was favoring something. So I'm 0:34:48.239 --> 0:34:50.080 just saying I thought he showed some toughness in the 0:34:50.080 --> 0:34:52.719 game too, because he played it less than game. Yeah. 0:34:52.719 --> 0:34:53.960 I mean, and you knew that going into it. You 0:34:54.040 --> 0:34:56.480 knew you're gonna come out bruised up. Yeah, you knew 0:34:56.560 --> 0:34:58.040 you're gonna come out bruised up. So the fact that 0:34:58.040 --> 0:35:00.319 these guys are pushing through it's just a test meant 0:35:00.320 --> 0:35:03.160 man to not only how tough they are, but again, 0:35:03.480 --> 0:35:06.000 they want to be out there right. Last year guys 0:35:06.040 --> 0:35:07.920 didn't want to be out in the field. I'm sorry 0:35:07.920 --> 0:35:10.200 to say that different It wasn't fun. It wasn't fun. Right, 0:35:10.239 --> 0:35:11.880 when it's a lot easier to stay on the sideline 0:35:11.880 --> 0:35:14.040 when it's not fun, say it with yeah. So, I 0:35:14.080 --> 0:35:15.920 mean that's just the reality. If guys are, if your 0:35:15.960 --> 0:35:18.520 team's getting scraped up and your teams kind of sucks 0:35:18.680 --> 0:35:21.040 and things aren't going your way and there's no culture, 0:35:21.120 --> 0:35:23.719 then h this all all this thing hurts a little 0:35:23.719 --> 0:35:28.080 bit more. I don't need another series. Right, But when 0:35:28.080 --> 0:35:29.560 you're when you guys are, when you're out there having 0:35:29.560 --> 0:35:32.160 fun and you got a defensive you know, coordinator like 0:35:32.239 --> 0:35:34.840 Quinn who's just dialing stuff up and you're having success, 0:35:34.880 --> 0:35:36.759 and guys love playing with each other, and there's a 0:35:37.000 --> 0:35:39.279 this this culture just the boys are hanging out. You 0:35:39.280 --> 0:35:41.200 don't want to miss out on that, right, you don't 0:35:41.200 --> 0:35:43.360 want to miss out on this. You take this up 0:35:43.400 --> 0:35:44.680 so can hurt you get back out there, like, let's 0:35:44.719 --> 0:35:46.239 go hurry this thing up. I don't want to miss this. 0:35:47.040 --> 0:35:48.719 He just called a sudden such blaze. We worked on 0:35:48.719 --> 0:35:49.759 this all week. I want to go out there and 0:35:49.760 --> 0:35:52.040 around this, you know, so there's a there's an excitement 0:35:52.080 --> 0:35:54.560 around it. And again, when you're when you get to 0:35:54.600 --> 0:35:56.719 this level, when everybody's playing well and things are going 0:35:56.840 --> 0:36:00.680 like that. It's there's an expectation right there. Expectation level 0:36:00.760 --> 0:36:03.520 raises not only from the outside but from the inside, 0:36:03.560 --> 0:36:06.000 and it turns more. It turns from work to all 0:36:06.000 --> 0:36:07.799 of a sudden, I'm playing with my putnas. I'm playing 0:36:07.800 --> 0:36:10.040 with my boys, right and that's when it's fun. That's 0:36:10.040 --> 0:36:11.279 when it's fun. Now when you just te these guys 0:36:11.360 --> 0:36:14.200 jumping around and celebrating each other's plays like everybody has fun. 0:36:14.280 --> 0:36:17.720 You've been waiting to see those three come together. The talent, 0:36:17.880 --> 0:36:20.640 which you've thought, you've had talented players on this roster 0:36:20.719 --> 0:36:22.319 for the last couple of years.

My daughter's getting her 0:39:36.520 --> 0:39:38.640 ESLA lenses. I think next week. I'm excited. How did 0:39:38.680 --> 0:39:41.400 their appointment go? Was amazing. That's people at ESSEL are awesome. 0:39:41.440 --> 0:39:43.560 They took care of my baby girl. That's my pride 0:39:43.600 --> 0:39:45.200 and joy, and they took good care of her. I 0:39:45.200 --> 0:39:46.520 put her in and put her in good hands and 0:39:46.560 --> 0:39:48.600 they take care of her nice. Yeah. I love that, 0:39:48.680 --> 0:39:50.920 all right, cowboys have been good in good hands. The 0:39:51.000 --> 0:39:52.799 last couple of weeks, we've given out a total of 0:39:52.880 --> 0:39:56.439 eight smelly stickers so far. If you want to take 0:39:56.520 --> 0:39:59.719 this camera right here, Chris Beazy, I might show this 0:39:59.800 --> 0:40:01.880 all a little bit. There's eight of them at the moment, 0:40:01.920 --> 0:40:04.799 We've put numbers on all of them. The fans guy 0:40:04.800 --> 0:40:06.920 the smelly sticker last week because at and T Stadium, 0:40:06.960 --> 0:40:09.239 Ms Rock and Kellymore with the KM up here and 0:40:09.239 --> 0:40:13.120 then whatever player's jersey number got the smelly sticker. I 0:40:13.160 --> 0:40:15.319 went last last week, so I'll go and started off 0:40:15.360 --> 0:40:18.319 this week. I'm gonna give my smelly sticker to the 0:40:18.360 --> 0:40:21.080 offensive line as a whole, because I feel like they 0:40:21.080 --> 0:40:23.320 answered the bell in the second half that third quarter. 0:40:24.200 --> 0:40:26.480 They had a good drive in the first I remember, 0:40:26.520 --> 0:40:29.040 and I tweeted this out, that second drive of the 0:40:29.080 --> 0:40:31.160 ball game. There was a little bit of swagger from 0:40:31.200 --> 0:40:34.040 that offensive line. They went down the field, they stormed down, 0:40:34.080 --> 0:40:37.960 they punched Carolina in the mouth a couple times, and 0:40:38.040 --> 0:40:40.799 they opened up a really really strong drive for the 0:40:40.840 --> 0:40:44.160 first score of the game for the Cowboys. Well, they 0:40:44.160 --> 0:40:46.440 continued that into the third quarter and they didn't let up. 0:40:46.480 --> 0:40:48.440 So I'm gonna give it to the entire offensive line. 0:40:48.520 --> 0:40:52.640 Terrence Steele, Tyler Botas, Jack Martin, Connor Williams, and mister 0:40:52.840 --> 0:40:56.560 Tyrant Smith. Those are my smelly sticker on a reees today. 0:40:57.440 --> 0:41:00.520 All right, Well, I'm gonna give my smelly sticker to 0:41:00.600 --> 0:41:03.439 a guy that has been taking a lot of heat, 0:41:03.600 --> 0:41:05.480 taking the heat, a lot of heat and a lot 0:41:05.520 --> 0:41:09.200 of hate. And man, he showed up at at and 0:41:09.280 --> 0:41:12.480 T Stadium with his spoon in his pocket and he 0:41:12.640 --> 0:41:16.439 came to eat had a forty seven yard long run 0:41:16.520 --> 0:41:18.319 that he should have should have tapped that off with 0:41:18.440 --> 0:41:20.399 topped it off with a touchdown. But that's all right. 0:41:20.400 --> 0:41:23.680 We gotta we gotta trust those jets. But Ezekiel Elliott 0:41:23.920 --> 0:41:26.560 is bawling out, and your smelly sticker is an apple 0:41:26.640 --> 0:41:28.520 because all of a sudden you are the apple of 0:41:28.560 --> 0:41:34.200 everyone's apple. Oh it, smelly stick off, go zeke there 0:41:34.239 --> 0:41:38.440 you go, Isaiah standing backs next. All right, y'all, well, 0:41:38.640 --> 0:41:43.720 I am rolling with this cupcake. And the reason why 0:41:44.239 --> 0:41:47.680 I'm going with the cupcake got sprinkles on it, took 0:41:48.200 --> 0:41:51.960 sprinkles on the cupcakes. Um. The reason why I'm going 0:41:52.000 --> 0:41:58.320 with the cupcake is because these offensive coordinators bro salt 0:41:58.360 --> 0:42:03.359 band that thing, sprinkle it. They're springling on a thing offensively, defensively, 0:42:03.680 --> 0:42:08.000 and special teams didn't do anything ridiculous, so uh we are. 0:42:08.080 --> 0:42:10.640 I'm giving us to all the coordinators. They showed up 0:42:10.680 --> 0:42:14.600 and showed out all the coordinators. Even even Fossil gets 0:42:14.600 --> 0:42:19.279 in there, even Fossil. Another ridiculous, another ridiculous. We can't 0:42:19.320 --> 0:42:21.520 wrap this up without the man who's doing some damn 0:42:21.640 --> 0:42:26.920 Dion things right, darn right, Trayvon digs most interceptions. He 0:42:27.160 --> 0:42:30.280 got to go back to twenty fourteen, the last time 0:42:30.320 --> 0:42:33.560 any Cowboys player had five interceptions in an entire season. 0:42:33.719 --> 0:42:37.279 My god, Bruce Carter linebacker. So the past few years, 0:42:37.280 --> 0:42:39.800 the most picks they've had in an entire year have 0:42:39.920 --> 0:42:44.840 been three picks. Two picks, Jeff Heath, two picks. You know, 0:42:45.719 --> 0:42:49.000 really impressive, starts awesome, and it's it's funny. I mean, 0:42:50.520 --> 0:42:52.239 Cowboys had a first round grade on him in a 0:42:52.280 --> 0:42:56.200 weird draft where guys teams didn't have the evaluations because 0:42:56.200 --> 0:43:00.920 of COVID, and that that draft is looking better and 0:43:01.000 --> 0:43:02.880 better by the day, especially in the first two or 0:43:02.920 --> 0:43:06.160 three rounds. Will McClay has said it before about that 0:43:06.280 --> 0:43:08.520 draft class, about the twenty twenty draft and how it 0:43:08.600 --> 0:43:11.399 kind of played out with Ceedee Lamb and company and 0:43:11.960 --> 0:43:14.200 how he ended up falling in their lap. But he 0:43:14.280 --> 0:43:16.520 said that there were a couple of guys outside a 0:43:16.560 --> 0:43:19.720 Ceedee Lamb that they liked at seventeen. He never really 0:43:19.760 --> 0:43:22.080 specified who those two guys were. There were a couple 0:43:22.080 --> 0:43:23.960 of guys they had had their eyes on. If it 0:43:23.960 --> 0:43:26.400 wouldn't have been Lamb, if the Falcons would have taken 0:43:26.800 --> 0:43:29.800 Lamb at sixteen instead of taking the corner from Clemson. 0:43:30.400 --> 0:43:33.840 And I'm wondering if Trayvon Diggs was one of those names. No, 0:43:34.000 --> 0:43:36.160 he was, he was he yes, Okay, he was in 0:43:36.280 --> 0:43:41.000 he was in conversation in the first round at seventeen. Yeah, 0:43:41.040 --> 0:43:43.000 I think so. I mean he was right in that 0:43:43.080 --> 0:43:44.520 mix that they had a grade on him there. And 0:43:44.560 --> 0:43:47.480 I know for a fact beyond that, if he wasn't 0:43:47.520 --> 0:43:50.759 there in the second round, Gallimore might have been the 0:43:50.800 --> 0:43:53.480 pick there too. Like they it was one of those drafts, 0:43:53.480 --> 0:43:55.680 like in your fantasy draft where you're you know, you're 0:43:55.680 --> 0:43:58.080 just like, why why are these guys falling to me? Yeah, 0:43:58.120 --> 0:44:00.560 That's that's what it was like. And how much of 0:44:00.600 --> 0:44:02.240 it had to do with it was just a weird 0:44:02.400 --> 0:44:06.799 draft with no combine zoom calls with meetings, and the 0:44:06.880 --> 0:44:10.160 Cowboys were ready and they took advantage. Man, well, they 0:44:10.239 --> 0:44:12.600 knocked it out of the park glass in twenty twenty 0:44:12.640 --> 0:44:15.319 and at least through four weeks of the year. It's 0:44:15.320 --> 0:44:17.520 still early on. It's a small sample size, it's just 0:44:17.600 --> 0:44:19.560 one quarter of the year. But they looked like they 0:44:19.680 --> 0:44:21.239 knocked it out of the park in twenty twenty one 0:44:21.280 --> 0:44:23.160 as well in terms of the draft and what they 0:44:23.200 --> 0:44:25.960 did because you had two third rounders making plays with 0:44:26.080 --> 0:44:28.959 Chauncey Golston, Osa Diggi Zoo of Michael Parsons of course 0:44:29.000 --> 0:44:31.879 the first rounder. You haven't even had Kelvin Joseph back. 0:44:31.920 --> 0:44:35.080 We talked about corner depth. He hasn't even been back yet. 0:44:35.440 --> 0:44:37.799 I hadn't even had Kelvin Joseph. And once he does 0:44:37.840 --> 0:44:40.959 come back, he's gonna have some competition in that corner 0:44:41.040 --> 0:44:43.360 room because that's gonna be fun to way he played well, 0:44:44.239 --> 0:44:46.600 really well. And how many interceptions did Byron Jones have 0:44:46.880 --> 0:44:53.000 in his career? I think too? Right, Yeah, something like that, wow, 0:44:53.600 --> 0:44:56.440 jump out of the cake. As we wrapped up talking Cowboys, 0:44:56.840 --> 0:44:59.320 that's gonna do it for us here on this victory Monday, 0:44:59.400 --> 0:45:01.520 Hope you guys had some fun and the Cowboys winning 0:45:01.640 --> 0:45:05.680 over the Carolina Panthers thirty six twenty eight the final score. 0:45:05.719 --> 0:45:08.799 Tomorrow we're taking phone calls. We've got phone calls on 0:45:08.840 --> 0:45:12.120 the way, So get those questions ready and we're gonna 0:45:12.160 --> 0:45:15.840 talk to you guys in Talking Cowboys Nation tomorrow.
