Speaker 1: how are we doing today? Men? We are doing wonderful?
Speaker 1: Where is that? Why are you feeling wonderful. What's going
Speaker 1: on with my mic man? I can't hear myself, but
Speaker 1: that's fine. I hope you can. Yeah, we hear you. Fine,
Speaker 1: you hear me, fine, Yeah, you sound great. This is sweet, guys,
Speaker 1: This is sweet. We took the number one defense and
Speaker 1: we hauled them out, right, the number one defense. We
Speaker 1: hauled them out. That came in with forty five yards
Speaker 1: averaging Russian number one Russian defense, and we expand it.
Speaker 1: We stretched that out a little bit to ninety eight
Speaker 1: yards now sent them back with that. Yeah, so I'm
Speaker 1: sure they're not number one no more. But I feel
Speaker 1: like good. How about your y'all feel You're trying to
Speaker 1: tell us something based off of our commentary last week?
Speaker 1: Is that directed? Yeah? He directed it, Isaiah. I've never
Speaker 1: been subtle at anything in my life. I'm just basically
Speaker 1: just putting this out, that's all. I'm just putting it
Speaker 1: out there. It's all good, It's all good. How y'all
Speaker 1: feel good? He's saying Carolina was fake news? Now first
Speaker 1: time Carolina. Two different teams. First half, Carolina, second second half, Carolina,
Speaker 1: two different team. I was gonna say, first half, we
Speaker 1: were right, Yes, first half Carolina second half, Carolina, two
Speaker 1: different teams Dalla Dallas and two different teams to totally.
Speaker 1: So they changed players. It's a half time. Yeah, something
Speaker 1: happened to half time. I don't think there's one person
Speaker 1: who watches that would I would deny that. But it's
Speaker 1: a win. It's a dumb and Lallas came out and
Speaker 1: we talked about character, We talked about will, we talked
Speaker 1: about how that team was gonna bring it. All those
Speaker 1: things were true. Um, both both teams were fighting, you know,
Speaker 1: for men, tooting nail, whatever you wanna call it. And um,
Speaker 1: you know there was there was some things that were
Speaker 1: they were they were going back, they're hidden, you know.
Speaker 1: We got away with some stuff that that it was
Speaker 1: to our advantage as well. Um, guys made plays and
Speaker 1: then we finished the game. They didn't finish. We finished.
Speaker 1: So that's that was the difference in the game. The
Speaker 1: first half was about as competitive as I as I
Speaker 1: expected it to be, and in the second half, one
Speaker 1: team showed up, the other team decided to stay in
Speaker 1: the locker room until the may wait through the fourth quarter. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think I thought we missed some opportunities. I'm sorry, Peking, No, No,
Speaker 1: I think I think they were there. Legit, their their
Speaker 1: defense is really good, and that first half was kind
Speaker 1: of what we expected, a challenge for both offenses. You know,
Speaker 1: they were challenged without Christian McCaffrey, even though I thought
Speaker 1: Hubbard did some nice things that hurt them. And then
Speaker 1: you know, they came after Dak Prescott in the first
Speaker 1: half with the blitz and and the Cowboys were able
Speaker 1: to counter do some things better. They got some more takeaways.
Speaker 1: That's been the story of the season. They were talking
Speaker 1: about the takeaways. Can I just say share a quote
Speaker 1: from Zeke real quick. This is the Internet, so I
Speaker 1: guess I can say it talking about what happened in
Speaker 1: the second half, said, we knew we had to go
Speaker 1: take care of business. We came hot, came out with
Speaker 1: our say our piss hot. Yeah, came out ready to
Speaker 1: go win that football game. You know what, That's what
Speaker 1: a good team does in any sport. Third quarters are
Speaker 1: always key, and that's the sign of a good teams
Speaker 1: to come out and say, look, we're better than this.
Speaker 1: And you know, they got it done. The offense, I
Speaker 1: mean got back to the ground game. The defense in
Speaker 1: the calling card through the first three weeks of the
Speaker 1: year was always takeaways, So let's talk about them. Takeaways.
Speaker 1: Trayvon Diggs with a pair of interceptions, and that man
Speaker 1: is on another level right now. You know, we talked
Speaker 1: about ranking cornerbacks in this league, and you know some
Speaker 1: of us thought that Treyvon Diggs was outside of the
Speaker 1: top ten, which is cool. But let's break it down.
Speaker 1: Let's break it down with his draft class, all right, Sure,
Speaker 1: Trayvon Diggs has eight interceptions. His draft class in total,
Speaker 1: and this is rounds one through four has a interceptions.
Speaker 1: So put that in perspective when you put some respect
Speaker 1: on his name, and put that in perspective when you
Speaker 1: talk about t diggy m. I like that Aiden's dead,
Speaker 1: Aiden's dead, star hard knocks. Yeah. Two interceptions yesterday for
Speaker 1: Treyvon Diggs. The takeaways now up to ten on the year.
Speaker 1: Five of those belong to Treyvon Diggs. From the defensive perspective,
Speaker 1: and I mean flying around the football, I mean gang tackling.
Speaker 1: That hasn't been something we've seen a long time. Defensively,
Speaker 1: sacks goodness, five yesterday, three of which coming from rookies
Speaker 1: and the other two coming from Randy Gregory. I mean
Speaker 1: the defense got after it again yesterday and it was
Speaker 1: really really fun to watch. It's dope. It's dope to see. Um.
Speaker 1: We talked about how, you know, we were talking about
Speaker 1: Carolina's defense, the fact that they were dangerous because of
Speaker 1: you didn't know who was gonna make the play. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I feel like we're really in that same conversation now.
Speaker 1: It really doesn't matter we don't. We obviously have our guys.
Speaker 1: Michael Parkson has probably had his worst game of the year.
Speaker 1: I think he I think he wanted to get some
Speaker 1: grown men and he kind of found out that there's
Speaker 1: some guys that can move him around, which is good
Speaker 1: that he needs that he needs that game. Um. But
Speaker 1: collectively as a unit, we're we have guys playing making
Speaker 1: plays all over the place. Defensive line, we aside from
Speaker 1: the first game, have we had a game even a
Speaker 1: first game. We haven't had heel back right, and we
Speaker 1: haven't hadn't we haven't had a game with our entire defense.
Speaker 1: But yet it doesn't feel like we're missing anything. And
Speaker 1: that's that's the testament to how good this defense is playing.
Speaker 1: You know. I think what's exciting to your point is
Speaker 1: I think it was the half sack by two draft picks.
Speaker 1: Chauncey Goldston, who's finally getting his first playing time, Olsa,
Speaker 1: Dicky Zoua and Parsons is middle blitzing and causing that
Speaker 1: pocket to break down. He got three draft picks doing that,
Speaker 1: and part because guys are missing. Yeah, I mean that's
Speaker 1: if you're Will McClay, you're sitting back in your your
Speaker 1: VIP box or wherever you are, and you're smiling at that.
Speaker 1: Jerry too, and Stephen well, and I think that's kind
Speaker 1: of goes to the excitement. Sorry, I didn't mean to
Speaker 1: cut you off, sir, but it is. It's the youth
Speaker 1: that's stepping out. Trayvon Diggs is a second year corner.
Speaker 1: Those three guys on the defensive line and in the
Speaker 1: front seven or playing lights out right now. Oh and
Speaker 1: by the way, you've got a second year defensive tackle
Speaker 1: that's not even available at the moment that's going to
Speaker 1: come back and play pretty good snaps for you. Overall,
Speaker 1: the youth of this defense is starting to play like
Speaker 1: you would expected the veterans to start playing like in
Speaker 1: past years. And I think that's what's so exciting from
Speaker 1: what you're what you've had so far. No Chauncey Gholston.
Speaker 1: Is it. Look, man, it's so refreshing to get a
Speaker 1: draft pick. And you know, they were so high on
Speaker 1: him obviously in OTAs you saw the way that they
Speaker 1: were going to use him. And he's a guy with
Speaker 1: his size and speed, you could bump him down to
Speaker 1: inside play him on the outside of me. His versatility,
Speaker 1: it's all over the place. But you know, I just
Speaker 1: think just seeing these guys Alsa Diggy Zoo as well,
Speaker 1: number ninety seven, everything everything about our rookie class, I
Speaker 1: think it just splashes, especially on the defensive line. Really
Speaker 1: good to see that. You talk about who we don't
Speaker 1: have and Hill Gallimore, we don't have tank, but yet
Speaker 1: we're still getting pressure on the quarterback. And guy, we
Speaker 1: haven't had these multiple sack games. I think we had
Speaker 1: four sacks all of last year and then we have
Speaker 1: five in a game. So I mean, look, we're making
Speaker 1: a lot about a lot of other defenses calling them
Speaker 1: number one, and I think everybody's waiting and reserving that
Speaker 1: praise for this defense. But I think, man, the proof
Speaker 1: is into putting. You see it, and you mentioned Digs
Speaker 1: and I just wanted to point this out. He's got
Speaker 1: five picks through four games. That is ties, the most
Speaker 1: since two thousand and nine by a player through the
Speaker 1: first four games of a season. It was two thousand
Speaker 1: and nine Darren Sharper, and that was that Super Bowl
Speaker 1: champion Saints team that this is what this is reminding
Speaker 1: me of. I mean the Saints that I think I
Speaker 1: had the best offense in the league in terms of
Speaker 1: putting up close to forty points a game for a
Speaker 1: lot of that season, and they finished the season second
Speaker 1: in takeaways with thirty nine. You combine those two things together,
Speaker 1: I mean, how many games are you gonna win? Yeah,
Speaker 1: especially with what we got coming up. So now these
Speaker 1: boys are they're they're balling. These boys are balling. Um.
Speaker 1: I was really excited. And I told you guys, I
Speaker 1: was anticipate. I wanted to see this game more so
Speaker 1: that I wanted to even see the Tampa game. I
Speaker 1: was anticipating this game simply because I knew the attitude
Speaker 1: that Carolina was gonna come with. And again we saw
Speaker 1: that in the first half and we matched it right.
Speaker 1: And I say I would say that I said earlier,
Speaker 1: we gotta said, we either need to match it or
Speaker 1: we need to exceed their intensity. And I feel like
Speaker 1: we did it well. I think it's what we talked
Speaker 1: about during the week, like and we felt like that
Speaker 1: was probably the fastest defense they were gonna face. It's
Speaker 1: a fast defense that flies around and but there I
Speaker 1: think Nick pointed this out during the game. They're they're
Speaker 1: smaller than we and then you know, Cowboys looked at
Speaker 1: it and said, look, they let's just run them over.
Speaker 1: Let's just go after them. And I think some people
Speaker 1: were like, well, you know, maybe they should have run
Speaker 1: against Tampa Bay. I think it's a little bit of
Speaker 1: a different situation. The matchup dictated. This is a Zeke game.
Speaker 1: We faced, We faced some of the best that the
Speaker 1: NFL has to throw. Now, right, we faced the Tampa
Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers. Their their defense. What's up now, go ahead,
Speaker 1: I got you, Oh okay, keep me all the defense.
Speaker 1: So Tampa Bay's defense is big, yep, right, Tim Bay's
Speaker 1: defense is big. So they really did not want to
Speaker 1: run last night? Yeah, no, So so so Tampa Bay
Speaker 1: presents a problem because they're they're they're just large human beings.
Speaker 1: So you're not gonna move them off the ball, So
Speaker 1: you have to approach them differently. So that's why you
Speaker 1: throw the ball fifty eight times even though you really
Speaker 1: don't want to because you're not gonna move the ball.
Speaker 1: Then you face the Chargers. The Chargers have dudes at
Speaker 1: every level. Right, they have dudes at every level. They
Speaker 1: don't necessarily have a whole whole defense that could really
Speaker 1: take you out, but they have the guys that you
Speaker 1: have to identify. You better know where these guys are
Speaker 1: out on the field of Mary in the middle, Derwin,
Speaker 1: Derwin on the back, back side. So that's that that
Speaker 1: team is different, right, Tampa. Everybody can ball, right, Chargers,
Speaker 1: they have their three guys. You better know where they're at.
Speaker 1: And all of a sudden, you face you know in Philadelphia,
Speaker 1: is whatever? All right? And then then you played Carolina.
Speaker 1: Now it's like, Okay, I don't know who's gonna make
Speaker 1: a play. But these boys can fly around. And we
Speaker 1: saw them boys flying around. But the fact that we
Speaker 1: have now seen Kellen Moore handle and adapt to all
Speaker 1: those different types of defenses that we face, it makes
Speaker 1: me feel a lot more secure. I would. I feel
Speaker 1: like that was the last little box that I needed
Speaker 1: to see in terms of us being the amble to
Speaker 1: match it. That can run around him and match our
Speaker 1: speed because we have speed. We got guys that can
Speaker 1: run around. We got some big boys up. Friend, I
Speaker 1: think we all knew that we're going to try to
Speaker 1: run the ball because those guys are undersized, right, But
Speaker 1: we matched that intensity and that's the competitiveness. That's the
Speaker 1: character box that I wanted to see checked off and
Speaker 1: coming up to this game, and I think they checked
Speaker 1: them all off. Totally agree. You're still laughing. I'm not laughing, smirking, No,
Speaker 1: just man. I love to see what Ezekiel Elliott did yesterday. Zeke,
Speaker 1: That's what we talked about him getting back on track,
Speaker 1: and you see what happened. Not getting back all tracked
Speaker 1: though you know he was. He was a five yards
Speaker 1: average coming into the game. So right now the Cowboys
Speaker 1: have a running back tandem that I think everybody has
Speaker 1: to say, wait a minute, man. They can do multiple
Speaker 1: things and feel position ball control as much as everybody
Speaker 1: wants to get say, this is a passing league. You
Speaker 1: see what Kelly Moore is doing. He's saying, look, man,
Speaker 1: when we have those games where we can grind it
Speaker 1: out like we do and that can play efficiently the
Speaker 1: way that he did in this game, and it's complimentary football.
Speaker 1: We love to use that complimentary football and I love
Speaker 1: it when I see it. It's a great team win
Speaker 1: and you're ahead. And I was gonna say, I think
Speaker 1: we talked a lot. I know, at least I do
Speaker 1: about Dan Quinn and how I always say he's gonna
Speaker 1: match the personnel. Right, He's not gonna try to do
Speaker 1: the same thing every week. Right, He's gonna mix it up,
Speaker 1: and you're gonna have different personnel playing against guys based
Speaker 1: upon what that team presents. I think we're starting to
Speaker 1: see that that really starts to develop in Kellen Moore. Right.
Speaker 1: You think about like, oh, Jason Garty, Jason Garrey was
Speaker 1: gonna run the same freaking thing no matter what team
Speaker 1: he was facing. It was gonna be the same offense.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. This is what we do. And that
Speaker 1: doesn't work in this league. And I think we're seeing
Speaker 1: the adaptation of Kellen Moore and his ability now to
Speaker 1: change things up based upon who he's going against. And
Speaker 1: that is very inspiring to see in his development. And
Speaker 1: let me just say this, and we've had this conversation
Speaker 1: before about offensive coordinators and their scheme. They believe in
Speaker 1: their scheme more than every anything. And I won't call
Speaker 1: it arrogance, but these guys get paid to be these
Speaker 1: brain children of offense, and there's a tad bit of arrogance.
Speaker 1: But I'm just yes, I just want to save that.
Speaker 1: But but you see when what Kellen Moore is doing, Look,
Speaker 1: you want to take this away from us, Okay, we're
Speaker 1: gonna give you this instead of just running into the
Speaker 1: teeth of that of that defense. And that's the one
Speaker 1: thing that I think I praise Kellen Moore for coming
Speaker 1: into and having these game plans that I think allows
Speaker 1: Dak to work and be the quarterback that we've needed
Speaker 1: him to be and not try to force something something.
Speaker 1: And I think, you know, there's gonna be a lot
Speaker 1: of people to say he only threw for like one
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty eight yards or something like but four touchdowns. Look, man,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. I mean, you could play throw for
Speaker 1: five hundred yards and still losing this league. That's one
Speaker 1: of the things that gets me so excited is that
Speaker 1: Kelln Moore is an offensive coordinator. Like you said, sure,
Speaker 1: these coordinators are just honed in on their schemes, but
Speaker 1: his is ever changing. His is evolving. I mean you're
Speaker 1: seeing it grow in front of your own eyes. Like
Speaker 1: I feel like every week the playbook adds on a
Speaker 1: little bit more as we continue on and on and on,
Speaker 1: and then you see it unveiled on Sundays or Mondays
Speaker 1: or whenever the Cowboys end up playing. I love that.
Speaker 1: I love that you have a young offensive coordinator that
Speaker 1: is coming into his own and that is finally finding
Speaker 1: a rhythm. And also, if you look down the rest
Speaker 1: of the schedule, name one defense that scares you as
Speaker 1: much as that of what you faced the first three
Speaker 1: weeks or four weeks of the season. There's not There's
Speaker 1: not one. I mean not one. I mean there's some
Speaker 1: good weeks. Yeah, yeah, there's some good ones. But it's
Speaker 1: a coordinator's dream. I mean you almost forget about Blake
Speaker 1: Jarwin and here he is in the red zone with
Speaker 1: a touchdown. They just have and they're not even I
Speaker 1: mean they're missing Michael Gallup, they're missing their right tackle.
Speaker 1: It's not it's not perfect. Yeah, but Kellen's got a
Speaker 1: lot to work with right now. And I think there
Speaker 1: is an egos. I mean, Mike McCarthy said it a
Speaker 1: few weeks ago, like it's more fun to call pass
Speaker 1: play than a run play. Yeah, for no, See, you
Speaker 1: can flex your muscles a little bit, you know, but
Speaker 1: they don't have to do that here. And that's what's
Speaker 1: so I mean. And there's no ego with Dak Prescott either.
Speaker 1: I think we talk we always talk about Zeke like,
Speaker 1: you know, he's willing to sacrifice and take less touch
Speaker 1: as Dak one hundred eighty eight passing yards in this game.
Speaker 1: He makes more money than anybody and he doesn't seem
Speaker 1: to care, so it helps when you're winning. Surprised by
Speaker 1: he didn't get afterwards he did? I mean that was
Speaker 1: That's an odd stat line. To get one hundred and
Speaker 1: eighty eight yards and four touchdown passes only the fifth
Speaker 1: time in his career he's done that. Wow, that's pretty impressive.
Speaker 1: And it goes back to what Heckman was saying in fact,
Speaker 1: in the fact that you don't have to have Dak
Speaker 1: Prescott throwing the rock around. I mean, you don't have
Speaker 1: to have that happen because now you're seeing the value
Speaker 1: of having a guy like Zeke. And we talked about
Speaker 1: it before we came on air. This was a game
Speaker 1: that early on Carolina came act you, but Carolina punched
Speaker 1: you in the mouth a couple of times in that
Speaker 1: first quarter. Guess what the Cowboys did. They punched rightly.
Speaker 1: And that was what was maybe the most encouraging thing
Speaker 1: for me to watch yesterday, was that punch and CounterPunch. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that you saw between the two sides. That's why I
Speaker 1: was so excited for this game because I knew that.
Speaker 1: I knew that Carolina was going to bring that based
Speaker 1: upon just their coaching staff, right, And we talked about
Speaker 1: the game was gonna be a player base or it
Speaker 1: was gonna be coordinator base, right, which one was gonna
Speaker 1: have the biggest impact. Obviously, the players execute what the
Speaker 1: colored cords call. But there's a battle on the field,
Speaker 1: and there's a battle up in the box, and I
Speaker 1: think we saw that too, But in terms of the
Speaker 1: battle on the field, I was I couldn't wait. I
Speaker 1: was so I was so excited to see how were
Speaker 1: we going to respond? Because knew we're gonna get punched
Speaker 1: in the mouth. How are we going to respond? And
Speaker 1: I'm I was so excited to see that these guys
Speaker 1: punched back. That's a physical it's super physical, damn. But
Speaker 1: that's what you want to see. Yeah we have talent,
Speaker 1: Yeah we have great coordinators. But what happens when you
Speaker 1: face that adversity? What happens when is when some things
Speaker 1: go wrong. What happens when you get busted in the mouth,
Speaker 1: you get popped in or you bumble the ball two
Speaker 1: times at the first quarter. Right, those are the things
Speaker 1: that you want to see you about yourself. Your team
Speaker 1: bounced back from and that's what happened. The boys came
Speaker 1: back and now all of a sudden, now you can
Speaker 1: say these boys, these boys are ready to take on
Speaker 1: take it on. You could have laid down there and
Speaker 1: you didn't. Absolutely, that was a huge thing. Team did
Speaker 1: to answer the other team did, right, the other team did.
Speaker 1: He can't stop smiling. It's a good day. No, he's
Speaker 1: looking at me. He's basically I told you, it's what
Speaker 1: he's saying because and you know what, You're right, You're right.
Speaker 1: I think Carolina is legit. I think they're going to
Speaker 1: compete to win their division. I really do. But it
Speaker 1: was an early sample size. Okay, it was two halves
Speaker 1: for sure, but it did. I mentioned a game a
Speaker 1: few years ago that it reminded me of. It's still early.
Speaker 1: It was that twenty sixteen Green Bay game. Green Bay
Speaker 1: was averaging only forty two yards allowed on the ground
Speaker 1: to that point. It was historic low through the first
Speaker 1: four games of the season. Zeke hit him with one
Speaker 1: fifty seven in that game. And that's what I mean.
Speaker 1: They had not run into an offense quite like this,
Speaker 1: and they may not run into an offense that's good
Speaker 1: the whole year. We'll see. That might have been a
Speaker 1: cow bite right there. I like that they haven't run
Speaker 1: into an offense like the Dallas Cowboys. When we come back,
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk a little bit more on the defensive
Speaker 1: side of the football and just exactly what has been
Speaker 1: successful for Dan Quinn and some of the different schemes
Speaker 1: that we saw yesterday. And did we see that Michael Parsons, Well,
Speaker 1: he's good on both the linebacker and the defensive line
Speaker 1: a couple different times yesterday, but he also had a
Speaker 1: couple of learning moments in that win over Carolina. Stick
Speaker 1: with us, we'll be right back on talking Cowboys. Honey,

Speaker 1: clean or not clean on Demante Kaz's hit, because that
Speaker 1: was the hardest hit of the year by far from
Speaker 1: this defense, and there was a flack thrown on it
Speaker 1: that was clean as a baby's bottom. I thought so too. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was clean. I know some baby bottoms that are
Speaker 1: not cleaning. Cleaning in the board of health, you know what.
Speaker 1: But I think what happens though in football is they
Speaker 1: just like over legislate certain things and they just calling
Speaker 1: it calling it calling and you see that, and like
Speaker 1: in in college in the college has to replay that
Speaker 1: they do. But anytime there's like an ool hit, oh
Speaker 1: it's automatic foul targeting and guy has to go sit
Speaker 1: on the sidelines. Look, man, that I don't know how
Speaker 1: much better that was textbook? I mean, and especially when
Speaker 1: you played in the league and you know God's can
Speaker 1: clean your clock in a situation like that. And I
Speaker 1: think that quarn Sam Donald just threw them into a headache.
Speaker 1: Was a medicine ball, you ask me. They set us
Speaker 1: up for that fifteen yards man, he threw them into
Speaker 1: us in her favor in against us. It's been both
Speaker 1: ways this year. This is the referee, just man. But
Speaker 1: when Dalton shows when he fumbled that second time, I
Speaker 1: had that feeling like, man, your carriage is about to
Speaker 1: turn to a pumpkin because that's two on you in
Speaker 1: the same drive. And yeah, within four play boy, that
Speaker 1: was that was bad heat man favorite fair. He got
Speaker 1: it on that right, Yeah, buddy, Yeah, the Cowboys got
Speaker 1: a break on that one. I just wanted to bring
Speaker 1: up the Kaz hit because I thought it was clean.
Speaker 1: Isaiah Berry Nate Nude almost lost his mind in the
Speaker 1: studio because we were all like, that's a clean hit
Speaker 1: and that shouldn't have been flagged. But Kazy, I mean,
Speaker 1: he almost had an interception yesterday. He's played Carolina more
Speaker 1: than anybody on that Cowboys defense during his time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: definitely right, He's he was familiar with them, even with
Speaker 1: the new look. He was familiar with what they were doing.
Speaker 1: Speaking of the safety secondary, Do we have any updates
Speaker 1: on Curse? On Curse, I don't think he was not
Speaker 1: on the injury wise, Yeah there was. He came back again. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Only guys listed coming out were Amari with the hamstring
Speaker 1: that he played through, Um Brandon Knight had an illness
Speaker 1: non COVID really late and I don't think he wasn't
Speaker 1: available and then uh Digs with backpasas. Yeah, it was
Speaker 1: called player management, I guess from during the broadcast, but
Speaker 1: they it was something that popped up in the first half.
Speaker 1: Can we address anybody who's questioned how tough Coop is.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of people out there that feel like
Speaker 1: Coop is soft or you know, and I and I
Speaker 1: know Coop came out and made that statement earlier this
Speaker 1: year and he's really standing behind that in terms of
Speaker 1: I can't be the best in the league if I
Speaker 1: don't play. When this boy tweaked his hammy in the
Speaker 1: first quarter. For anybody who's never tweaked a hammy before,
Speaker 1: usually that's you gotta tell you gotta sit down. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, regardless of how how bad, how how you
Speaker 1: do it. If you tweak it, it's it's tweaked and
Speaker 1: it is going to stay there. I was very surprised
Speaker 1: to see him come back in the game we talked
Speaker 1: about in the studio. I was like, yeah, he's done.
Speaker 1: He tweaked it. He's out. It's a hammy. You got
Speaker 1: to go out. And the next you know, he comes
Speaker 1: back in. And the whole time I was holding my breath.
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, crap, all right, I'll shoot it. Hopefully
Speaker 1: he does. It was a double move, the double move,
Speaker 1: and then but then you turn around and he's gasing
Speaker 1: on CJ. Henderson. I'm like, this dude is playing through
Speaker 1: a honey tweak, Like how and he burns CJ? Yeah,
Speaker 1: he wait a bad hemmy right, And I'm like, how's
Speaker 1: he doing that? So for everybody out there that has
Speaker 1: question marks about the heart and resilience of cool, stop it.
Speaker 1: I asked McCarthy about it last night and he said
Speaker 1: he had told the guys on Saturday night team meeting,
Speaker 1: everybody get there a little early, you know, just kind
Speaker 1: of take care of business, get ready to play. Said
Speaker 1: Maria was the first one, the first one there, he said,
Speaker 1: I was the second one there. Mary was there first.
Speaker 1: And that's a guy, I mean guy dealing with crack
Speaker 1: rib trying to get himself ready to play, and then
Speaker 1: something pops up first first drive and he's able to
Speaker 1: play through it. Man, that's yappresive and have a touchdown
Speaker 1: pass and be the team's leading receiver in a game
Speaker 1: where you didn't you didn't really have a ton of
Speaker 1: options in the passing game. Ceedee Lamb was blanketed yesterday.
Speaker 1: Great coverage from the Carolina defense. And then of course
Speaker 1: Dak the way that he was swallowed up in that
Speaker 1: first half, really had to get it underneath to try
Speaker 1: and complete a couple of passes. But I want to
Speaker 1: go back to the defense here, and you mentioned Jon Curse.
Speaker 1: Another solid game from Curse physically, and honestly, I think
Speaker 1: it's getting to the point where you're questioning whether or
Speaker 1: not when Donovan Wilson comes back, if he's got a
Speaker 1: job at the moment, right do you Am I the
Speaker 1: only one thinking that because of the way that Curse
Speaker 1: is playing and the way that he's able to cover.
Speaker 1: I hear what you're saying. I hear what you're saying.
Speaker 1: With this defense and dan Quinn's approach I think everybody's
Speaker 1: out there. You know, if you're if you're on the
Speaker 1: if you're you're on the act of the forty eight
Speaker 1: act of whatever it is, then you're playing. You see
Speaker 1: that with at the other safety spot, with Kasey and Hooker.
Speaker 1: These guys are rotating through. I don't think there's too
Speaker 1: many positions that we could just say they're starting. You're starter,
Speaker 1: and you start the whole rest of the game. These
Speaker 1: guys are rotating through and everybody's having an impact. And
Speaker 1: that's what we're talking about, this culture of competitiveness, and
Speaker 1: you know, and everybody wanted to wanting to have a
Speaker 1: have a part in it, Like I want to get
Speaker 1: in on this. Let me make a play, like all right,
Speaker 1: get in there, cool, all right, make a play solid,
Speaker 1: all right now, Now I'll get you in a rotation.
Speaker 1: Now you have to earn your keep around here. And
Speaker 1: if you don't earn your keep, and you can find
Speaker 1: yourself not suiting up right. I think we may have
Speaker 1: under estimated to run Curse in the acquisition of him
Speaker 1: in free agency. We may have looked at him as
Speaker 1: just the special team's ace, and he's proven us that
Speaker 1: he has more than just that, especially in this run
Speaker 1: pass option league that we're in. When you have a
Speaker 1: six four, two hundred and ten pound guy that can
Speaker 1: seal the edge, blitz and also cover a tight end,
Speaker 1: he's just special. And I think the difference between him
Speaker 1: and Wilson and this simple size that we've gotten from him,
Speaker 1: it says kind of showing us that, look, he may
Speaker 1: be someone that can be should be elevated. But you're right,
Speaker 1: in this culture, everybody's going to get an opportunity to play,
Speaker 1: and you saw that yesterday with some of the younger
Speaker 1: guys getting some burn at the end of the fourth
Speaker 1: and they play this big nickel a lot. So Curse
Speaker 1: had sixty seven snaps in the game, Kaz didn't come
Speaker 1: off the field at sixty eight. Wow, and Hooker's in
Speaker 1: for twenty eight. So that's a lot of plays. That's
Speaker 1: a lot, and he was man, he was so active too.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I think there's a rotation there and the
Speaker 1: way he plays his safeties, there's a chance for Donovan
Speaker 1: to come in and I mean his physicality. I think
Speaker 1: that's the only another layer that he can add when
Speaker 1: he comes back. But you have this is the most
Speaker 1: safety depth. What it looks like through four games that
Speaker 1: they've had in I don't know how long, and defensive
Speaker 1: line dep and linebacker depth yep, all quarterback Depp there's depth.
Speaker 1: And like I said, I think it all goes back
Speaker 1: to that culture man. Obviously, obviously the scouting department and
Speaker 1: what they did in the draft and offseason acquisition is awesome.
Speaker 1: But we've seen it where we've had the players right,
Speaker 1: We've seen it where we had the players getting the
Speaker 1: players to buy in two different things. Imagine having Nail
Speaker 1: back in this situation with the way that the linebackers
Speaker 1: are playing. I think Lvie had a couple of reps
Speaker 1: with tight ends where he's trying to cover running backs
Speaker 1: where it didn't look too good. Yeah, but you know,
Speaker 1: you gotta you want your defense to get that pressure basically,
Speaker 1: and we were not able to kind of exposed some
Speaker 1: of those weaknesses. But back to what you were saying
Speaker 1: about Micah, I felt like, Yeah, Micah has his rookie
Speaker 1: moments where you see him may get caught up in
Speaker 1: the wash, but everything he's doing is going forward, he's trying,
Speaker 1: he's and what I'm saying is as far as getting
Speaker 1: that penetration in the middle of the defense, the way
Speaker 1: that he attacks the run. Then you see him get
Speaker 1: out on the edge and still get pressure and hits
Speaker 1: on the quarterback. I like that. Yeah, I think everything
Speaker 1: where you're saying. We talked about it in the break, Mica.
Speaker 1: I want I don't want him to run any think
Speaker 1: that he had a bad game. Let me let me
Speaker 1: not say that. I said he had his worst game
Speaker 1: so far. That's that's that's still saying that he had
Speaker 1: a good game. He's been bawling, he's running for those
Speaker 1: first three weeks. Um, he just didn't impact the game
Speaker 1: and the way that most fans see it. Let me
Speaker 1: let me put it that way. Most fans see the sacks,
Speaker 1: most fans see the pressures, right, they don't see all
Speaker 1: the other elements most of the time that the analysts do,
Speaker 1: in terms of him and running stunts in front of him,
Speaker 1: in the sense of him running blitz is and and
Speaker 1: taking two offensive alignment allowing his other guys to rerund
Speaker 1: their stunts and come free. Right, those guys are doing
Speaker 1: it at their job. But they don't. They don't. They're
Speaker 1: not just coming free because guys forgot about them. They're
Speaker 1: coming free because one of the other guys took the
Speaker 1: attention of the office alignment. So Parsons affected the game
Speaker 1: drastically in other ways. Um, I think that he had
Speaker 1: been physically dominant through those first three weeks, and I
Speaker 1: think there was a couple of times, I know, we
Speaker 1: were in the studio watching he running. He ran up
Speaker 1: against some grown men yesterday, and you got to see
Speaker 1: that starter on his face, like craft, I can't, I
Speaker 1: can't dog everybody. He was like, yeah, okay, you welcome
Speaker 1: to the NFL. You know, But I mean he's not.
Speaker 1: He's no, he's no punk, so he ain't gonna back down.
Speaker 1: But uh, I mean yeah, but every like to your point,
Speaker 1: you have those rickey moments you wake up, you find
Speaker 1: out okay, yea, I gotta I might have to change
Speaker 1: my approach on this, on this gentleman right here, because
Speaker 1: he he'd been in the weight room a couple more
Speaker 1: days than me. What I liked about it was he
Speaker 1: only he played all but two snaps that he played
Speaker 1: there you go. He played sixty eight snaps, and so
Speaker 1: we mean you get more snaps at linebacker than at DN.
Speaker 1: He played damn near I belayed SAPs double what he
Speaker 1: played last week. Yeah, it's probably true. Thirty more snaps,
Speaker 1: because what was it thirty seven seven three? Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 1: And where do you think he was most ineffective if
Speaker 1: you're saying that this is the worst of the games
Speaker 1: that he has an end or was it at linebacker?
Speaker 1: I think ineffective at d ND. Okay, yeah, inefective at
Speaker 1: d ND. The reason why because he affects the game
Speaker 1: more linebacker, even though he may not be the person
Speaker 1: making the plays, he's enabling other people to make plays.
Speaker 1: But when when he's at the linebacker position, he could
Speaker 1: rush right, he could blitz, he can cover, he hit
Speaker 1: anybody across the middle. And he played sixty eight snaps
Speaker 1: instead of thirty eight. Just to play Devil's advocate here,
Speaker 1: Just to play Devil's advocate here, you're saying the game
Speaker 1: in which he played linebacker and more snaps at AKA yesterday,
Speaker 1: it's his worst game of the year in terms of
Speaker 1: him stat line. Okay, that's what I'm talking about. Stat line.
Speaker 1: That's why I went back and clarify stat line, right,
Speaker 1: what most people to see as success, right, But in
Speaker 1: terms of football wise, I think he played a good game.
Speaker 1: He just got out physical. No, I completely understand what
Speaker 1: you're saying, but the way that you're wording it, I
Speaker 1: think is the no. You're wording it right. He's affecting
Speaker 1: every part of the game. When he lines up over
Speaker 1: the center, Sam Donald has to take account for number
Speaker 1: eleven being over there. If he's on the right side
Speaker 1: of the defensive end, the whole offensive line has to
Speaker 1: understand where number eleven is, and other guys are definitely
Speaker 1: getting their numbers up based off of where number eleven
Speaker 1: is from the opposite side. I got you, no, make
Speaker 1: that makes a lot of sense, and the whole front
Speaker 1: seven benefits from having a guy behind him. I mean,
Speaker 1: look at the five sacks yesterday and going back to
Speaker 1: what you were saying yes or earlier in the first segment,
Speaker 1: thirty one sacks all year last year for the Cowboys.
Speaker 1: They had five yesterday. If they continue that, that's that's
Speaker 1: on pace for eighty five sacks in a year. That's
Speaker 1: not gonna happen. They had thirty one sacks last year
Speaker 1: as a team thirty one. The Cowboys had five yesterday,
Speaker 1: But if they keep up the current pace, they're on
Speaker 1: pace for over forty. So there's a chance they could
Speaker 1: continue upping that, especially if they have five sacks a
Speaker 1: game and they're able to get pressure. And they did
Speaker 1: that yesterday without DeMarcus Lawrence, again, without Torrence Armstrong, again
Speaker 1: without Carlos Watkins, without keana'neil on the backside. I mean,
Speaker 1: the front seven is still getting to the football and
Speaker 1: they made things tough in that second half for Sam Darnold. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I want to go back and watch it, but
Speaker 1: I feel like he'd be just became a rusher in
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. They just they just said, look, we
Speaker 1: got the big lead, We're just gonna off. And what
Speaker 1: I love is when I don't I gotta see back
Speaker 1: how many times they did it. But when they overload
Speaker 1: one side, they put Gregory Parsons on the same side.
Speaker 1: But that's not fair. That's a problem, dude, Like that's
Speaker 1: I just love what Quinn is doing in terms of
Speaker 1: moving guys around, um changing up different looks, and look,
Speaker 1: they got burned sometimes in the first half. Darnold's legs
Speaker 1: beat them, you know, and they would move Mica down
Speaker 1: and then they might they give up a couple runs.
Speaker 1: They put him back at linebacker to kind I don't
Speaker 1: know if he's spying or if he's just kind of
Speaker 1: there covering backs out of the backfield. I just like
Speaker 1: him doing that because it means he's on the field
Speaker 1: all the time. They're not They're not worried about his
Speaker 1: his REPS or his GPS or whatever. They're just saying, like,
Speaker 1: just go out and play. Get after yeah, be a
Speaker 1: hybrid guy. What did you think about Randy Gregory. We
Speaker 1: haven't had a chance to talk about him yet. Two
Speaker 1: sacks yesterday, a third multi sack game of his career.
Speaker 1: I mean, he got after it again and he finished
Speaker 1: on a couple of occasions in big time moments in
Speaker 1: the first half. That's what you ask for. I mean,
Speaker 1: I think that's what everybody expects. Obviously, he's been through
Speaker 1: a lot in these past few years, and he's worked
Speaker 1: his way back to where he is now. I think
Speaker 1: he's you can see his maturity even in his interviews.
Speaker 1: You can see his growth mentally. And when you're mentally
Speaker 1: prepared and you're mentally there fit, your physical just follows
Speaker 1: when you're when you're built like him, he's a physical specimen.
Speaker 1: So you know when he looks like he's in a good,
Speaker 1: good mindset and it's showing on the field. I mean,
Speaker 1: nobody physically can stop him as long as he's as
Speaker 1: long as he's mentally ready to roll. I completely agree.
Speaker 1: It's a testament to his hard work. And you see it.
Speaker 1: I mean he's fresh. Whatever was ailing him. I know
Speaker 1: he had a knee or something like that coming into
Speaker 1: the game, but it didn't look like it limited anything
Speaker 1: that he was doing. Quinn, as you stated at me,
Speaker 1: he's changing up his looks, those stunts that it just
Speaker 1: looked like the Panthers couldn't deal with it. And ninety four, man,
Speaker 1: I love seeing those having those redemption stories like that man,
Speaker 1: because he played his tail off and it wasn't so
Speaker 1: much of the sacks that it was the pressure as well,
Speaker 1: and they had to account for him and they had
Speaker 1: to account for Mica. But there were other guys that
Speaker 1: got in on the actors well man to rail bash him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we've been waiting on bash him and he's he's proving
Speaker 1: his worth through free agency. Man, He's just a lot
Speaker 1: of guys that we've been counting on are having those
Speaker 1: good games and whether it be Kazee, whether it be
Speaker 1: cursed in safety's making big plays. That's just man, it's
Speaker 1: just awesome to see this defense playing like this and
Speaker 1: just completely being remodeled from last year. You mentioned toughness
Speaker 1: with Amar. Randy did that too, because he was saying Friday,
Speaker 1: I mean, he was questionable for the game. He was
Speaker 1: always gonna play, I think, but he's had some some
Speaker 1: swelling in his knee after every game this year. It's
Speaker 1: been swalling up on him. Something they got to treat,
Speaker 1: he said. It goes back to he's been kind of
Speaker 1: dealing with stuff like that since Nebraska. So and there
Speaker 1: was a point during the game where he came out
Speaker 1: and he looked like he was favoring something. So I'm
Speaker 1: just saying I thought he showed some toughness in the
Speaker 1: game too, because he played it less than game. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, and you knew that going into it. You
Speaker 1: knew you're gonna come out bruised up. Yeah, you knew
Speaker 1: you're gonna come out bruised up. So the fact that
Speaker 1: these guys are pushing through it's just a test meant
Speaker 1: man to not only how tough they are, but again,
Speaker 1: they want to be out there right. Last year guys
Speaker 1: didn't want to be out in the field. I'm sorry
Speaker 1: to say that different It wasn't fun. It wasn't fun. Right,
Speaker 1: when it's a lot easier to stay on the sideline
Speaker 1: when it's not fun, say it with yeah. So, I
Speaker 1: mean that's just the reality. If guys are, if your
Speaker 1: team's getting scraped up and your teams kind of sucks
Speaker 1: and things aren't going your way and there's no culture,
Speaker 1: then h this all all this thing hurts a little
Speaker 1: bit more. I don't need another series. Right, But when
Speaker 1: you're when you guys are, when you're out there having
Speaker 1: fun and you got a defensive you know, coordinator like
Speaker 1: Quinn who's just dialing stuff up and you're having success,
Speaker 1: and guys love playing with each other, and there's a
Speaker 1: this this culture just the boys are hanging out. You
Speaker 1: don't want to miss out on that, right, you don't
Speaker 1: want to miss out on this. You take this up
Speaker 1: so can hurt you get back out there, like, let's
Speaker 1: go hurry this thing up. I don't want to miss this.
Speaker 1: He just called a sudden such blaze. We worked on
Speaker 1: this all week. I want to go out there and
Speaker 1: around this, you know, so there's a there's an excitement
Speaker 1: around it. And again, when you're when you get to
Speaker 1: this level, when everybody's playing well and things are going
Speaker 1: like that. It's there's an expectation right there. Expectation level
Speaker 1: raises not only from the outside but from the inside,
Speaker 1: and it turns more. It turns from work to all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, I'm playing with my putnas. I'm playing
Speaker 1: with my boys, right and that's when it's fun. That's
Speaker 1: when it's fun. Now when you just te these guys
Speaker 1: jumping around and celebrating each other's plays like everybody has fun.
Speaker 1: You've been waiting to see those three come together. The talent,
Speaker 1: which you've thought, you've had talented players on this roster
Speaker 1: for the last couple of years. You've been waiting for
Speaker 1: the talent to come together. You've been waiting for the
Speaker 1: coaching staff to come together and have some confidence and
Speaker 1: your coaching staff you have that now. And you've also
Speaker 1: wanted that will and that brotherhood that you can see
Speaker 1: physically on the field, and that's happening right now. That's
Speaker 1: what's exciting about this season. And we've also got some
Speaker 1: smelly stickers to give away when we come back on
Speaker 1: the other side of the break. It's week three in
Speaker 1: a row for smelly stickers. When we come back here

Speaker 1: They had a good drive in the first I remember,
Speaker 1: and I tweeted this out, that second drive of the
Speaker 1: ball game. There was a little bit of swagger from
Speaker 1: that offensive line. They went down the field, they stormed down,
Speaker 1: they punched Carolina in the mouth a couple times, and
Speaker 1: they opened up a really really strong drive for the
Speaker 1: first score of the game for the Cowboys. Well, they
Speaker 1: continued that into the third quarter and they didn't let up.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna give it to the entire offensive line.
Speaker 1: Terrence Steele, Tyler Botas, Jack Martin, Connor Williams, and mister
Speaker 1: Tyrant Smith. Those are my smelly sticker on a reees today.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, I'm gonna give my smelly sticker to
Speaker 1: a guy that has been taking a lot of heat,
Speaker 1: taking the heat, a lot of heat and a lot
Speaker 1: of hate. And man, he showed up at at and
Speaker 1: T Stadium with his spoon in his pocket and he
Speaker 1: came to eat had a forty seven yard long run
Speaker 1: that he should have should have tapped that off with
Speaker 1: topped it off with a touchdown. But that's all right.
Speaker 1: We gotta we gotta trust those jets. But Ezekiel Elliott
Speaker 1: is bawling out, and your smelly sticker is an apple
Speaker 1: because all of a sudden you are the apple of
Speaker 1: everyone's apple. Oh it, smelly stick off, go zeke there
Speaker 1: you go, Isaiah standing backs next. All right, y'all, well,
Speaker 1: I am rolling with this cupcake. And the reason why
Speaker 1: I'm going with the cupcake got sprinkles on it, took
Speaker 1: sprinkles on the cupcakes. Um. The reason why I'm going
Speaker 1: with the cupcake is because these offensive coordinators bro salt
Speaker 1: band that thing, sprinkle it. They're springling on a thing offensively, defensively,
Speaker 1: and special teams didn't do anything ridiculous, so uh we are.
Speaker 1: I'm giving us to all the coordinators. They showed up
Speaker 1: and showed out all the coordinators. Even even Fossil gets
Speaker 1: in there, even Fossil. Another ridiculous, another ridiculous. We can't
Speaker 1: wrap this up without the man who's doing some damn
Speaker 1: Dion things right, darn right, Trayvon digs most interceptions. He
Speaker 1: got to go back to twenty fourteen, the last time
Speaker 1: any Cowboys player had five interceptions in an entire season.
Speaker 1: My god, Bruce Carter linebacker. So the past few years,
Speaker 1: the most picks they've had in an entire year have
Speaker 1: been three picks. Two picks, Jeff Heath, two picks. You know,
Speaker 1: really impressive, starts awesome, and it's it's funny. I mean,
Speaker 1: Cowboys had a first round grade on him in a
Speaker 1: weird draft where guys teams didn't have the evaluations because
Speaker 1: of COVID, and that that draft is looking better and
Speaker 1: better by the day, especially in the first two or
Speaker 1: three rounds. Will McClay has said it before about that
Speaker 1: draft class, about the twenty twenty draft and how it
Speaker 1: kind of played out with Ceedee Lamb and company and
Speaker 1: how he ended up falling in their lap. But he
Speaker 1: said that there were a couple of guys outside a
Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb that they liked at seventeen. He never really
Speaker 1: specified who those two guys were. There were a couple
Speaker 1: of guys they had had their eyes on. If it
Speaker 1: wouldn't have been Lamb, if the Falcons would have taken
Speaker 1: Lamb at sixteen instead of taking the corner from Clemson.
Speaker 1: And I'm wondering if Trayvon Diggs was one of those names. No,
Speaker 1: he was, he was he yes, Okay, he was in
Speaker 1: he was in conversation in the first round at seventeen. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think so. I mean he was right in that
Speaker 1: mix that they had a grade on him there. And
Speaker 1: I know for a fact beyond that, if he wasn't
Speaker 1: there in the second round, Gallimore might have been the
Speaker 1: pick there too. Like they it was one of those drafts,
Speaker 1: like in your fantasy draft where you're you know, you're
Speaker 1: just like, why why are these guys falling to me? Yeah,
Speaker 1: That's that's what it was like. And how much of
Speaker 1: it had to do with it was just a weird
Speaker 1: draft with no combine zoom calls with meetings, and the
Speaker 1: Cowboys were ready and they took advantage. Man, well, they
Speaker 1: knocked it out of the park glass in twenty twenty
Speaker 1: and at least through four weeks of the year. It's
Speaker 1: still early on. It's a small sample size, it's just
Speaker 1: one quarter of the year. But they looked like they
Speaker 1: knocked it out of the park in twenty twenty one
Speaker 1: as well in terms of the draft and what they
Speaker 1: did because you had two third rounders making plays with
Speaker 1: Chauncey Golston, Osa Diggi Zoo of Michael Parsons of course
Speaker 1: the first rounder. You haven't even had Kelvin Joseph back.
Speaker 1: We talked about corner depth. He hasn't even been back yet.
Speaker 1: I hadn't even had Kelvin Joseph. And once he does
Speaker 1: come back, he's gonna have some competition in that corner
Speaker 1: room because that's gonna be fun to way he played well,
Speaker 1: really well. And how many interceptions did Byron Jones have
Speaker 1: in his career? I think too? Right, Yeah, something like that, wow,
Speaker 1: jump out of the cake. As we wrapped up talking Cowboys,
Speaker 1: that's gonna do it for us here on this victory Monday,
Speaker 1: Hope you guys had some fun and the Cowboys winning
Speaker 1: over the Carolina Panthers thirty six twenty eight the final score.
Speaker 1: Tomorrow we're taking phone calls. We've got phone calls on
Speaker 1: the way, So get those questions ready and we're gonna
Speaker 1: talk to you guys in Talking Cowboys Nation tomorrow. But
