Speaker 3: It's definitely, it's definitely forty dollars. But the players lound
Speaker 3: sponsored by twos Titos, the official chip and dip of
Speaker 3: the Dallas Cowboys. Cannot forget about our sponsor. For guys,
Speaker 3: we are getting close. We're getting close to this. This
Speaker 3: matchup on on on Sunday, man And what's exciting for
Speaker 3: me is the fact that the Miami Dolphins are playing
Speaker 3: the Kansas City Chiefs in Germany. The NFL dropped the
Speaker 3: ball on that one. What they dropped the ball? Tell y'all,
Speaker 3: I'm telling you what. I have visions of a of
Speaker 3: a Final four weekend right now. Maybe this is a
Speaker 3: preview for the final four for Championship weekend. Feeling good, boy, Yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm feeling real good. I'm telling you, dog, I got
Speaker 3: so listen. This is what you're talking. That's be out there. Man,
Speaker 3: what it sounds like. Hey, I'm just saying preview.
Speaker 2: I said previewview.
Speaker 3: You might have a preview the final four for Championship weekend.
Speaker 3: But but the but you know, Roger Goodell said, let's
Speaker 3: do it in Germany. We don't have to do it
Speaker 3: state side. I don't know who lost home game. I
Speaker 3: think it may have been Miami. But man, there's some
Speaker 3: big games coming up this weekend. Yeah, without a doubt,
Speaker 3: there's a lot of big time games. The number one,
Speaker 3: as we all know, it's gotta be Philly versus Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 5: And as we have the you know, Washington Commanders versus
Speaker 5: Eagles game going on in the background.
Speaker 2: Look this defense, it can be had, It can be had.
Speaker 5: Going earlier into this week, I'm like, in my man,
Speaker 5: I'm thinking all these mismatches are gonna be too much.
Speaker 2: Philly gonna route them.
Speaker 5: But as we get closer the game day, I start
Speaker 5: looking a bit a little bit more and more hearing
Speaker 5: y'all talk about this offense Roland and Dak Prescott and
Speaker 5: all that gus stuff. I'm starting to swape me a
Speaker 5: little bit because this defense can be had. We don't
Speaker 5: know how healthy Jalen Hurts is. I mean, he's ducking
Speaker 5: in dodging questions about his knee. So I don't know.
Speaker 5: Man's starting to you know, favorite the boys maybe a
Speaker 5: little bit here, Man, I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 2: We'll see.
Speaker 3: Well that's all for Heckman to talk positively about about no, no, no,
Speaker 3: And then you go back and watch the game from
Speaker 3: last week and how they played, and you're like, you
Speaker 3: know what, the defense may be a little susceptible to
Speaker 3: some stuff that I let me tell you this. Okay,
Speaker 3: time prove consistency, all right. What the office did last
Speaker 3: week has happened one time this season. What they how
Speaker 3: they performed last week against the L. A. Rams has
Speaker 3: happened one time this season. The other forty point games
Speaker 3: they would straight up blowouts. We wasn't scoring in the
Speaker 3: red zone, kicking field goals, defenses getting points, but the
Speaker 3: offense were. They weren't getting as many points outside of
Speaker 3: last week. So I just want to try to bring
Speaker 3: you back down to reality real quick before you get
Speaker 3: into that.
Speaker 2: Man, I remember when Dak.
Speaker 3: Prince got was throwing forty times, no touchdowns, all stuff.
Speaker 3: It's possible. I'm just saying, but I don't want you
Speaker 3: to feel that way. You know, just based off of
Speaker 3: one he looked down that office before he did he
Speaker 3: looked at that.
Speaker 2: He did. Yes, here we go.
Speaker 3: Objection you go with all of that. As you were
Speaker 3: looking at the all twenty two, what did you see?
Speaker 3: You saw Sam Howe missing wide open stuff out there.
Speaker 3: Samhow finished the game well. He passed for fifty to
Speaker 3: fifty two attemptsright, thirty nine thirty nine completion, three hundred
Speaker 3: and ninety seven yards against.
Speaker 2: This vaunted, big, strong, tough.
Speaker 3: Philadelphia Eagles defense, four touchdowns, one interception, and he missed
Speaker 3: a lot of plays. I'm just saying, when you go
Speaker 3: back and look at it, for all of the huff
Speaker 3: and puff about the Philadelphia Eagles defensively, there's a lot
Speaker 3: of stuff going on with him. Go to the film
Speaker 3: study Isaiah stand Back. He does a wonderful job of
Speaker 3: drawing it up, just showing you how this Dallas Cowboys
Speaker 3: offensive line if they can script the same way. And
Speaker 3: I'm not saying letter for letter from what the commanders did?
Speaker 3: You have an opportunity to blow the doors off of
Speaker 3: a team and set the NFC and set the NFC
Speaker 3: on notice. I'm telling you, listen, hold on, go ahead.
Speaker 3: But that's the thing that but that's the thing you
Speaker 3: what do we do? We go back and we look
Speaker 3: at the tape and we see a team that had opportunities,
Speaker 3: that had opportunities not only in passing but also Russian.
Speaker 2: The numbers are here, Brian Robinson Jr. Ten Rushes fifty.
Speaker 3: Come on, now, come on, now, you have to look
Speaker 3: at the situation. You have to look at a situation,
Speaker 3: especially for Tony Poller. What have we been talking about
Speaker 3: all week? This running game has to get what it
Speaker 3: has to get going. This is the game where you
Speaker 3: possibly can get it going. Because right now the Philadelphia
Speaker 3: Eagles are giving up chunk yards? He said, are we
Speaker 3: doing twenty out the playing again? Because it's morning? It's morning, bro,
Speaker 3: Because I listen this one, I don't understand. Okay, listen,
Speaker 3: the Cowboys are playing well. Okay, they only lost two
Speaker 3: games this season, all right, you could only beat who
Speaker 3: they put out there.
Speaker 2: In front of you. Fair same thing with the Eagles.
Speaker 3: So we go back and look at the all twenty
Speaker 3: two and who was susceptible to Wood. Don't forget about
Speaker 3: the Cardinals game. Okay, it was Josh Dobbs. We talked
Speaker 3: about Sam Hobby. It was Josh Dobbs that it was
Speaker 3: leakas there. We're still talking about the LA Chargers. How
Speaker 3: many passes that Justin Herbert missed when Keenan Allen was no.
Speaker 3: But you just said this about then Commanders. I'm saying
Speaker 3: it's the same like this, This is the exact same thing,
Speaker 3: the same way that that we can look at the
Speaker 3: Eagles and say they're beatable.
Speaker 2: I'm I'm never gonna say that.
Speaker 3: We're probably gonna blow the dose off of them, but
Speaker 3: they're beatable because that's that's that's the game of football.
Speaker 3: Like the officive coordinator, the defensive coordinators got to figure
Speaker 3: out ways to get guys open. And sometimes it happens.
Speaker 3: Sometimes we miss quarterbacks, misreceivers, but blow the doors off
Speaker 3: year on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and you get coming here
Speaker 3: on Thursday.
Speaker 2: I'm leaning up and not a defense not I just
Speaker 2: don't happen. I'm leaning us. I'm leaning up.
Speaker 3: And so what I was telling you about yesterday was
Speaker 3: his offensive line. I was telling you about the offense.
Speaker 3: I was talking about A J. Brown, I was talking
Speaker 3: about Davonte Smith. I was talking about Swift. I was
Speaker 3: talking about the guys that's really getting things done. That
Speaker 3: offense is still A J. Brown is dominating. I can't
Speaker 3: take anything away from that, and if I could, I would,
Speaker 3: honestly I would, all right, but I didn't see that.
Speaker 3: I'm looking on the defensive side of the ball, and
Speaker 3: I'm telling you, as big and bad as they have been,
Speaker 3: as much as we talked about Philadelphia's defense being the
Speaker 3: big bad wolf in the NFC East, it just doesn't
Speaker 3: appear that way.
Speaker 2: Even look, they got Jalen Smith, Kobe Dean, all.
Speaker 3: Of these guys at Georgia Philadelphia team right defensively, Mike
Speaker 3: McCarthy has got to be looking at this Philadelphia team saying,
Speaker 3: we gotta take our shots with Ceedee Lamb. What have
Speaker 3: we been saying, Ceede Lamb's been begging for the ball,
Speaker 3: We've been looking for these opportunities. Well, look this this
Speaker 3: Philadelphia team is gonna play him man the man. They're
Speaker 3: not it's not gonna be no trick bag out there
Speaker 3: for him and Brandon Cooks. They're gonna be in single man,
Speaker 3: single safety high and if you can't eat with that.
Speaker 2: You can't eat nowhere in the league. And come on,
Speaker 2: y'all played the game. You tell me no, No, I
Speaker 2: just told you. I don't know.
Speaker 5: So when you talking about these opportunities that we gotta
Speaker 5: get yes or the Cowboys gotta get ceedee Lamb, gotta
Speaker 5: get galloped, gotta get Cooks involved. So are we saying
Speaker 5: going into this game? You know, we talked about it
Speaker 5: earlier this week. Hot his offense is evolving a little bit,
Speaker 5: saying going into this game, it's gotta be on Dak
Speaker 5: shoulders as far as throwing the football like it's gonna
Speaker 5: be you know, here sprinkles a little bit of Tony
Speaker 5: Pollard here in there, and that's gonna be the formula
Speaker 5: in order.
Speaker 3: To get a dumb I'm gonna say this, Barry. I
Speaker 3: think coming into the season, both of y'all were talking
Speaker 3: about Dak Prescott in the turnovers. He led the league
Speaker 3: into turnovers and he missed five games. That's abysmal as
Speaker 3: a quarterback. That's horrible. There's no excuse for that, all right,
Speaker 3: But this season, what did Mike McCarthy come into the
Speaker 3: season with an attention of detail on turning the ball over?
Speaker 3: We're not gonna allow this whole thing has been Let's
Speaker 3: pull this back a little bit and not allow Dak
Speaker 3: to be in a position where he has to throw
Speaker 3: it fifty two times in the game. You gotta lead.
Speaker 3: We're not gonna just keep throwing the ball. What are
Speaker 3: we gonna do. We're gonna get Tony Pollet involved, We're
Speaker 3: gonna run the ball. We're gonna keep our defense fresh.
Speaker 3: When I look at these numbers, and I'm just saying
Speaker 3: from when we say put it on Dak.
Speaker 2: Last week when you.
Speaker 3: Came into the Los Angeles game, it was like, okay, well,
Speaker 3: how do you play against the defense that you really
Speaker 3: don't know a lot about. But that same defense that
Speaker 3: we were talking about only allowed four passing touchdowns through
Speaker 3: the season. Dak did that in one game. So put
Speaker 3: it on Dak. That's the Day's your time, consistency and
Speaker 3: proof right there, because he's shown you that if you
Speaker 3: give me an opportunity in this offense, I can actually
Speaker 3: get it done. Now I go back and I'm looking
Speaker 3: at these numbers and that's all I can go off
Speaker 3: of what I see. Jahan Dawson eight catches, one hundred
Speaker 3: and eight yards, Jameson crowd of seven catches ninety five yards,
Speaker 3: Tarry McClure five, six for sixty three, Logan Thomas six
Speaker 3: for forty four.
Speaker 2: They all got a tuddy in that game. Now, if
Speaker 2: I can't look at the.
Speaker 3: Same guys that we've been talking about that wide receiver
Speaker 3: room that we did not go into the deadline making
Speaker 3: a trade for, you mean to tell me we can't
Speaker 3: duplicate that same effort.
Speaker 2: D Mack, I'm looking at you. I'm not. I gotta listen.
Speaker 2: I'm not.
Speaker 3: That's the thing I'm not falling for, bro, because we
Speaker 3: go through this every week, all right, how one team
Speaker 3: performs against another team.
Speaker 2: The Eagles have lost one game.
Speaker 3: And what I said I liked about the Eagles is
Speaker 3: no matter what's happening on whatever side of the ball,
Speaker 3: they figure out a way to win. So they go
Speaker 3: into that game, oh, defense not showing up offense to
Speaker 3: figure out a way to get it done. Defense is
Speaker 3: gonna make the stops when they need to make the stops.
Speaker 3: Every big time defensive game is not gonna look like
Speaker 3: going only allow on ten points.
Speaker 2: Some of them look like, hey man, we're gonna get a.
Speaker 3: Big time stop when we need it, and that's what
Speaker 3: the Eagles have been able to do. They are also
Speaker 3: multiple with their defensive Like if they don't show up
Speaker 3: last week, that damn showed on me, They're not gonna
Speaker 3: show up the next week because we know what their
Speaker 3: defense can do because we've seen them do it. So
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna play too much into what happened with
Speaker 3: the Washington team because that's the same thing that happened
Speaker 3: with us against Arizona. Like if you look at the tape,
Speaker 3: we should have been able to go out there and
Speaker 3: dominate Arizona, but for some reason a different Arizona. I'm
Speaker 3: saying it just didn't happen. So I know that possibly
Speaker 3: it gets the Washington Commanders, which is a divisional game.
Speaker 3: How you always say it don't matter who it is,
Speaker 3: and the divisional game, that's what that type of stuff
Speaker 3: looks like. So I'm not playing too much into that.
Speaker 3: Like I said, Dak Prescott has played that well one
Speaker 3: game this season, so I'm not really just like, hey,
Speaker 3: now we just put it all on that. We have
Speaker 3: to be balanced, like Church said, And if we're not
Speaker 3: and we've become one dimensional, we're gonna be in trouble.
Speaker 5: And then even if we do become one dimensionally, you
Speaker 5: look at that Washington Receiver Corps. You know they got
Speaker 5: you know, Terry McClure and Dosos guys you just named.
Speaker 5: Outside of CD Lamb, when you talk about the Dallas Cowboys,
Speaker 5: where's that other production coming from the spread the Eagles
Speaker 5: out Because if we look at it, they were able
Speaker 5: to spread that ball around.
Speaker 2: Because those receivers were getting separation.
Speaker 5: They were able to go out there and beat those
Speaker 5: and beat those one on one coverages out there.
Speaker 2: Where have we seen that from Gallup so far this year?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 5: And Boks is coming along ferguson that tight end group
Speaker 5: they're dropping past.
Speaker 2: I just I mean, it's gonna be tough because if
Speaker 2: they're gonna they're gonna put a lot of infhasis on
Speaker 2: CD Lamb.
Speaker 5: He can't go the past two games, he has nineteen catches,
Speaker 5: two hundred and seventy five yards. They're not gonna just
Speaker 5: let him go one on one out there. They're gonna
Speaker 5: have something for CD Lamb. So then it comes down
Speaker 5: to can Cook's gallop, Tolbert Ferguson and the crew. Can
Speaker 5: they win those one on ones? Can they help this
Speaker 5: offense be productive? Because we saw Washington their secondary receivers
Speaker 5: were able to do so as you just.
Speaker 2: Named off those stats.
Speaker 5: Can we still feel that way about this Cowboys offense
Speaker 5: or they're gonna have to be able to win those
Speaker 5: one on ones to be productive.
Speaker 2: I see, I like you see, he sees you. You not.
Speaker 3: You're looking at the season in its entirety and not
Speaker 3: just as Washington Commander's game, because all twenty two got
Speaker 3: you feeling real good about what you saw against the
Speaker 3: Washington Commanders in and you know, albeit that is what happened,
Speaker 3: but they ended up winning that game. I feel better
Speaker 3: about where Ceedee Lamb is. And I also feel better
Speaker 3: about the discovery of Brandon Cooks.
Speaker 2: Discovery. No, he's he's been. We located this guy, and
Speaker 2: so look here's it.
Speaker 3: And I guess I'll pose it as a question your
Speaker 3: expectation for Ceedee Lamb coming into this game after what
Speaker 3: you what you say nineteen two seventy something like last
Speaker 3: two games of last two games, your expectation for Cede
Speaker 3: Lamb if he is that number one unquestioned, because he's
Speaker 3: taking the next steps that you want him to as
Speaker 3: a wide receiver. What are your expectations for him coming
Speaker 3: into a game like this versus the Eagles, Well, you know,
Speaker 3: we got to show up listen ten targets, Like I
Speaker 3: don't know what's going to happen with those targets. I
Speaker 3: expect us as an offense to say, we're gonna run
Speaker 3: this game one and our receiver for our receiving concepts
Speaker 3: through Cede Lamb those ten targets and not be going
Speaker 3: to gallop.
Speaker 2: They should be going to Cede Lamb.
Speaker 3: He should have the most targets, and then you should
Speaker 3: focus on how you get branded cooks involved.
Speaker 2: I don't know if he's gonna.
Speaker 3: Have one hundred and fifty whatever it is, because with
Speaker 3: the Cowboys, you never you never know how they're gonna play.
Speaker 2: One week we come out.
Speaker 3: There and we try to run it twenty five times,
Speaker 3: and the next week we come out and that Prescott
Speaker 3: is throwing four touch down. So I don't know what
Speaker 3: his numbers will look like, but I need to see
Speaker 3: him get ten targets. He cannot disappear he has to
Speaker 3: be a part of the game plan.
Speaker 5: Yeah, this guy has got to be on his AJ
Speaker 5: Brown type game. I mean, he's got to go out
Speaker 5: there and find a way to be that number one
Speaker 5: target and find that way to move the football offensively.
Speaker 5: You look at AJ Brown, you look at some of
Speaker 5: those other receivers in the world or in the National
Speaker 5: Football League. Teams know that they're going to get the ball,
Speaker 5: but they still go out there and dominate. I need
Speaker 5: Cede Lamb to do that same thing because if we
Speaker 5: look at it, James Bradbury and big play slay over there,
Speaker 5: they're not The Rams didn't have that, The Chargers didn't
Speaker 5: have that. You know, those secondaries were watching it again,
Speaker 5: you've seen Witherspoon for the Rams. He was out there
Speaker 5: getting torched, all right, number before he four on the
Speaker 5: say he's out there getting flayed.
Speaker 3: Me on.
Speaker 5: So to me, he's going to go up against better competition.
Speaker 5: And this is why I say those other receivers have
Speaker 5: got to be able to step up because Cook Slave,
Speaker 5: he's arguably what a top three corner in the National
Speaker 5: Football League. Bradberry's not too far behind. So to me,
Speaker 5: that secondary is going to give him a lot more
Speaker 5: trouble than we've seen in the past two games. And
Speaker 5: that's why these secondary pieces gotta get wrong.
Speaker 3: You have faith in Bernon Cooks. It's being that second
Speaker 3: piece if we if we include him in the offense
Speaker 3: and he's continued to be found and then all of
Speaker 3: a sudden disappeared, that you have faith that he can
Speaker 3: make it work out there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because speed kills. I mean, we all understand that.
Speaker 5: And I think the Philadelphia Eagles that's what they struggle
Speaker 5: with defensively, is when you got a burner, when you
Speaker 5: got a guy that can get over top of the
Speaker 5: secondary and that's what Cooks. You know, he hasn't been
Speaker 5: able to do that consistently this year, but in years
Speaker 5: past he's been able to burn defenses. So if we're
Speaker 5: able to test them at least open it up a
Speaker 5: couple of times, I think we should have success in there.
Speaker 5: But if you let a gallop or you know, or
Speaker 5: even the Cooks out here get ten receptions, cowboys ain't winning.
Speaker 2: Has got to be cd Land. He's got to be
Speaker 2: the guy out there.
Speaker 3: And Dan, I'm gonna just tell you straight up, this
Speaker 3: is the game where Brandon Cooks has to show up,
Speaker 3: I can't come to Sunday night. I'm sitting there and
Speaker 3: I'm saying, I'm looking at Brandon Cooks, and I'm like,
Speaker 3: where was Brandon Cooks? Look at these numbers and we
Speaker 3: don't have completions or seven targets in eighty yards a touchdown.
Speaker 3: He has to be that speed component for our offense
Speaker 3: or otherwise teams like the Philadelphia Eagles gonna crawd the
Speaker 3: line of scrimmage and take away to one thing that
Speaker 3: everybody questioned what you can do, and that's running the ball.
Speaker 2: If you can't do that, man.
Speaker 3: It make the whole game plan easy for whatever else
Speaker 3: they gonna do, because then they could play in zone,
Speaker 3: they could be I mean, like you said, they play
Speaker 3: multiple They're gonna do different different things all the time.
Speaker 2: This is the game. This is the game.
Speaker 3: When I say discovery, I'm talking about we just the
Speaker 3: trade we didn't make. But that's the trade. Brandon Cooks
Speaker 3: is your acquisition that you needed at the deadline. Because
Speaker 3: if he shows up in this game and he gives
Speaker 3: you a big time production, then that means that the
Speaker 3: Eagles are trying to play extra attention to Ceedee Lamb
Speaker 3: take him out of the game. And he's the one
Speaker 3: component that went out there and wanted to Look. I
Speaker 3: ain't gonna lie to you, bro, I'm just processing. I'm
Speaker 3: processing right now because we've been all week. Okay, we
Speaker 3: that came in here talk about tasty caves. This man
Speaker 3: been pumping up, pumping up the Eagles all and stuff.
Speaker 3: And I ain't seen a one ad like this in
Speaker 3: my entire life. You ain't seen it.
Speaker 2: And then and then and then.
Speaker 3: And then come here after you make the one ady
Speaker 3: and be like, oh huh, I've been saying this.
Speaker 2: Nah, Bro, I know that, I know.
Speaker 3: I know that the defense and the offense they different,
Speaker 3: but the blowing the dose off of them. Listen because
Speaker 3: you have to, huh, because you have to you have
Speaker 3: to play a physical brand of football versus Philadelphia. You
Speaker 3: know that it's the same brand of football that you
Speaker 3: didn't show up with with the forty nine ers.
Speaker 2: And you got your doors. Put that, put that, put
Speaker 2: that tasty cake on it. Bro.
Speaker 3: Man, Look, you gotta lot it. We got a lot
Speaker 3: to go, We got a lot to go, we got
Speaker 3: allowed to go. And matter of fact, we're gonna take
Speaker 3: our first break on that note. Talking tasty case We're
Speaker 3: gonna do that, and when we come back, we're gonna
Speaker 3: go back into this offense and see what they gotta
Speaker 3: do to get a win here. Because man, everybody know,
Speaker 3: all eyes will be on the Dallas Cowboys Philadelphia Eagles
Speaker 3: game on.
Speaker 2: We'll be right back after this.
Speaker 4: I'm Dak Prescott, quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys, and they snapped.
Speaker 2: The Preshcot who looks right, it's not there. He escaped slapped.
Speaker 2: He'll walk for Frenchtown.
Speaker 4: Just like football, when it comes to crypto, it's important
Speaker 4: to have a team you can trust. With blockchain dot Com,
Speaker 4: I know I'm in good hands. Since twenty eleven, they've
Speaker 4: been trusted by millions around the world to buy, sell,
Speaker 4: and trade cryptocurrency prums.
Speaker 6: Scott's gonna run this himself, run it up the middle,
Speaker 6: and he scores.

Speaker 3: you guys go and get a picture with Santa. Me
Speaker 3: and my family. What we've been doing over the years,

Speaker 3: Claus Christmas put them all around the house.
Speaker 2: It's like a time lapse.
Speaker 3: See what your kids when you add another one to
Speaker 3: the family, be even more. Look at you ain't right,
Speaker 3: You're right. Let's go back to this football. I don't
Speaker 3: want to get this man out, but look, we want
Speaker 3: to talk about down the distance. What's the most important
Speaker 3: down in distance for the Dallas Cowboys. You're watching the game?
Speaker 3: Is the first down? Second down, third down? What's the
Speaker 3: most important down the distance for you?
Speaker 5: To me, it's got to be the Cowboys gotta have
Speaker 5: some type of positivity on first down. We all understand
Speaker 5: third downs of money down, that's how you continue. You
Speaker 5: know you're driving all that, But leading up to that,
Speaker 5: it can't be, you know, second and twelve because that's
Speaker 5: gonna more than likely lead to a longer down the
Speaker 5: distance on third down. So I think you gotta be
Speaker 5: positive on first down. I'm looking for a lot of
Speaker 5: runs on first down, whether you know Tony pol just
Speaker 5: to keep them honest something.
Speaker 2: I just don't want to.
Speaker 5: Go into there against the chains because we all understand
Speaker 5: if you go out there and it becomes a third
Speaker 5: and long fest.
Speaker 2: The Eagles are just like the Cowboys.
Speaker 5: They're gonna go out there and hunt like that's what
Speaker 5: Dan Quinn loves for offenses to get in those long
Speaker 5: passing down the distances going against his defense, and that's
Speaker 5: the same with the Philadelphia Eagles because they can rush
Speaker 5: the passer. So to me, they got to get something
Speaker 5: done on first down, whether it's.
Speaker 2: Two yards three yar. Don't gotta be nothing.
Speaker 5: Crazy, but just something to where you can keep those
Speaker 5: third downs manageable. Yeah, I'm going first down, but just
Speaker 5: for a slightly different reason. I think it's more of
Speaker 5: you got to be able to mix it up on
Speaker 5: first down. You can't to me, you can't become like, hey,
Speaker 5: we know exactly what they're going to do on first
Speaker 5: down and then they can stack the box or trying
Speaker 5: to dictate what you're doing on first You got to
Speaker 5: be able to mix it up so then you can
Speaker 5: have them on their heels on second and third down.
Speaker 3: Right, you want to make sure that you're not able
Speaker 3: to be kind of like a predictable offense. So for me,
Speaker 3: I want to see some boots, some waggles, maybe a
Speaker 3: quick slam, bubble screen, whatever it is. Just mix some
Speaker 3: stuff in there so you don't just become that same
Speaker 3: team on first down. Then y'all see at the beginning
Speaker 3: of the season. I think those first couple of games
Speaker 3: we were having big time success on first down. It
Speaker 3: was always bringing up and I mentioned this before in
Speaker 3: the show, it was bringing up those second and sevens,
Speaker 3: those second and sixes, and I think it made it
Speaker 3: so much easier for Mike McCarthy when he was in
Speaker 3: those situations where second and six. Then you started to
Speaker 3: see the forty nine Ers game, first down you was
Speaker 3: getting negative yards, first down, you was getting one yard, and.
Speaker 2: Then his whole offensive play call and change.
Speaker 3: So the question that we bring up, man, that's a
Speaker 3: big time question because that dictates the way that Mike
Speaker 3: is gonna call this game. So I flipped the question
Speaker 3: on you that if you're not having that success on
Speaker 3: first down and you are having to go with more
Speaker 3: wide open concept instead of just being generic and conservative,
Speaker 3: can the Cowboys play to that?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: This is why, because at the beginning of the season,
Speaker 3: like what, however, you want to change your offense. Okay,
Speaker 3: don't forget who your defense is, all right, So whatever
Speaker 3: you start the game off and it's not working for
Speaker 3: you on first down, mix it up. Do not turn
Speaker 3: into we are gonna throw on first now every time,
Speaker 3: to where we gotta just hey, that gonna throw it
Speaker 3: fifty times, and if we win by that, we win
Speaker 3: by that.
Speaker 2: If we lose, we lose.
Speaker 3: You know, at the beginning of the season, Mike McCarthy
Speaker 3: came out, he said, we are going to play to
Speaker 3: our defense, right, make sure that they are rested so
Speaker 3: they can hunt when they get out there, because they
Speaker 3: are usually the difference makers in the games, especially our
Speaker 3: forty point wins. They have usually made some type of
Speaker 3: huge play to swing the momentum and make sure that
Speaker 3: the Cowboys on offense and then have a shorter field
Speaker 3: to score on.
Speaker 2: So yeah, just mix it up, bro, mix it up.
Speaker 2: I don't want to see that.
Speaker 3: I don't want to see that because you said it,
Speaker 3: Bro a lot of times when we go into that
Speaker 3: offense where Dak Prescott is going to be the guy
Speaker 3: where he's gonna throw it forty times, maybe fifty. It's
Speaker 3: just too iffy, man, it's just too iffy, especially against
Speaker 3: a defensive line who set the record last year for sacks.
Speaker 2: That's true. You don't want to put yourself in that position.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, by the way, it's Tyresmith playing, Like what
Speaker 3: type of situation do you want to be in as
Speaker 3: far as hey, we behind the sticks and then now
Speaker 3: we gotta just face that defensive You know, I'm gonna
Speaker 3: let I want to make sure you stay on your
Speaker 3: one eight and feel come, I'm gonna.
Speaker 2: Be there anyway. It's not gonna be nothing to you.
Speaker 2: What are you saying?
Speaker 3: What were you saying as far as conservative game plan
Speaker 3: on first down or or open this up?
Speaker 2: Man, I think it's tough.
Speaker 5: It's tough because you can't play like you can't be
Speaker 5: too conservative to where they know every time you come
Speaker 5: out on first down, hey, they gonna do something either,
Speaker 5: you know, quick out of his hands fast, they're gonna
Speaker 5: run the football. You can't be that conservative because it
Speaker 5: makes you too predictable. But then again, you don't want
Speaker 5: to get in those long down distances. But to me,
Speaker 5: the Cowboys are gonna go out there and then they're
Speaker 5: gonna win this game. If the girl gonna go out
Speaker 5: there and win this game, the offensive has to be productive,
Speaker 5: and in that regard, you're gonna have to take shots.
Speaker 5: So to me, you gotta open this thing up a
Speaker 5: little bit. You gotta open up the playbook, you gotta
Speaker 5: open up the offense. You just can't go out there
Speaker 5: at twelve twenty one personnel. Oh it's third down, Now
Speaker 5: go to A and per. You got to mix it up,
Speaker 5: like you said, and keep this defense off balance, because
Speaker 5: once they get a key on what you're doing, those
Speaker 5: pass rushers are gonna eat. You know, that secondary is
Speaker 5: gonna be opportunistic just looking for an interception from Dak Prescott,
Speaker 5: so you can't fall into their hands.
Speaker 2: You got to keep them guessing.
Speaker 5: That's why this the balance approach to me is the best,
Speaker 5: and that's why I feel like Tony Poller got to
Speaker 5: get his touches up just a little bit more.
Speaker 2: And it doesn't have to be all runs like.
Speaker 5: It doesn't have to be you know, we got to
Speaker 5: get this man eighteen to twenty two rushing attempts. It
Speaker 5: could be fifteen rushing then, Oh everything's kind of blocked
Speaker 5: or kind of covered up up there. Let me dump
Speaker 5: it down to Tony Polla a couple of times, a
Speaker 5: screen here and there, just different ways to get him
Speaker 5: the ball to make sure that this defense is kind
Speaker 5: of man should should we play uptight on these guys
Speaker 5: and take away the short stuff or do we play
Speaker 5: on top to make sure we keep everything in front
Speaker 5: of us. You gotta keep this team guessing because once
Speaker 5: they get a hold of what you're doing, it gets
Speaker 5: kind of tough to move the back.
Speaker 3: Then, you guys, expect a little bit more from our
Speaker 3: screen game. Absolute, Yeah, Like I think, yeah, I think
Speaker 3: that's one of one of the fastest of offense where
Speaker 3: I'm like, I would love to see some improvement in
Speaker 3: that area, all right, just all around though, like to
Speaker 3: I feel like Tony Poler should be a really good
Speaker 3: screen back.
Speaker 2: He should be able, like a little bit out.
Speaker 3: He should be able, Like we should be able to
Speaker 3: make some plays like that ceedee lamb turping those guys
Speaker 3: out there on the edge. We should figure out we
Speaker 3: should be able to figure out a way to get
Speaker 3: them involved in the screen Ferguson, We got guys who
Speaker 3: when you get the ball in their hands early and
Speaker 3: let them let them do what they do, I think
Speaker 3: they can make some play. So I would like to
Speaker 3: see our screen game, you know, become a little bit
Speaker 3: more successful throughout the season.
Speaker 2: And I'm glad you brought up because I meant to
Speaker 2: talk about it.
Speaker 5: Do you think he should get a little bit more
Speaker 5: for some snaps like every time the game he kind
Speaker 5: of it kind of makes something happen, whether it's a
Speaker 5: you know, reverse, let me throw them on an inside fade.
Speaker 5: When he seems to get the ball in his hands,
Speaker 5: he seems electric. So to me, would you want Turning
Speaker 5: to get a little bit more playing time? Seeing as
Speaker 5: though these wide receivers outside of C. D. Lamb, you know,
Speaker 5: cooks getting you know, we gotta see because you know,
Speaker 5: Gall he just hasn't for whatever the case. I know
Speaker 5: he's been injured, all that good stuff, but he hasn't
Speaker 5: been as productive as we might have thought going into
Speaker 5: this season. I mean we can all say that. I mean,
Speaker 5: looking at the game, he just hasn't been that productive
Speaker 5: wide receiver. So do you to get a spark into
Speaker 5: this offense? Can you see them sliding maybe a turping
Speaker 5: in to get a little bit more more wide receiver
Speaker 5: three reps.
Speaker 2: I'm not saying he's gonna be out there all day,
Speaker 2: but I think that's a little bit.
Speaker 3: I think he's the X factor also in this game,
Speaker 3: and he's a guy that can give your offense some
Speaker 3: juice immediately. The problem that we had in the two
Speaker 3: losses that we've had is that we got off to
Speaker 3: a bad starts.
Speaker 2: Arizona.
Speaker 3: You walked out there and it was it was literally
Speaker 3: looked like it was over before it started. San Francisco
Speaker 3: horrible start. And this is and that's for me, like
Speaker 3: when I look at this this Philly game, you cannot
Speaker 3: get off to a bad start in this game. And
Speaker 3: a guy like Cavante Turpin, whether it be in those
Speaker 3: specialty plays with him or something that he does special
Speaker 3: teams and we saw last week. Now, I don't know
Speaker 3: if the NFL is on notice, but y'all saw it.
Speaker 3: Cavante Turpin can't be a difference maker on special teams
Speaker 3: for us. I mean, and the way that he changes
Speaker 3: the game when he makes makes those big plays, it
Speaker 3: seems like the whole team is feeding on what number
Speaker 3: nine is doing. Yeah, I listen, Turpin is definitely a
Speaker 3: difference maker. I mean to be honest, a whole entire
Speaker 3: special teams to this point has been able to make
Speaker 3: difference making plays. But that is why you want to
Speaker 3: make sure you play to your defense because that also
Speaker 3: gives you an opportunity to get the ball in Turp's
Speaker 3: hands not on offense right forcing punts. That is a
Speaker 3: big time part of why Covante Turpin is on this
Speaker 3: team is to change the field position when we're able
Speaker 3: to make them punt. And when you have a great defense,
Speaker 3: you expect to get a lot of punt force a
Speaker 3: lot of punts.
Speaker 2: So yeah, he's definitely an X factor.
Speaker 3: I can see him making a big time play in
Speaker 3: the game for us, but I would like to see
Speaker 3: him a little bit more.
Speaker 2: I want to call him.
Speaker 3: Like Gadget plays, But Gadget plays.
Speaker 2: You picking, I'll tell you tomorrow.
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm allowed to pick Philings just because the
Speaker 3: way you came here to.
Speaker 2: Just to spike you. You go with your heart. You
Speaker 2: going with your heart.
Speaker 3: This is uh as we get closer and tomorrow, and
Speaker 3: I know you want to put a tasty cake on this.
Speaker 3: And the thing about it is, you know it's got
Speaker 3: to go both ways. It's gotta be something beneficial also
Speaker 3: on the other side.
Speaker 2: I mean, you want to tell a twenty other player,
Speaker 2: I'll take any bet you give me off the plane.
Speaker 2: He did say that. Yeah, So.
Speaker 3: In this matchup, guys, I mean, we we've talked about
Speaker 3: this offense all day. We we we talked about the defense.
Speaker 3: But there has to be a miscellaneous player. It doesn't
Speaker 3: matter offense defense, it is a miscellaneous player. That is, like,
Speaker 3: if this guy has a big game, we're gonna win
Speaker 3: this game. Who is that guy? Who is your Who
Speaker 3: is your miscellaneous guy?
Speaker 2: M I S C. Who is your guy? My guy
Speaker 2: is Aubrey the kicker.
Speaker 5: That's gonna be my If he out and he has
Speaker 5: a dominating day, which means he's going out there, he's
Speaker 5: making all the extra points, which means we're scoring some tubs.
Speaker 5: And if he's out there having a dominant day, that
Speaker 5: means the field goals are involved as well, which means
Speaker 5: this offense is ending each and every time they you know,
Speaker 5: they have the bather ending with some type of points,
Speaker 5: a kick, whatever, extra point, whatever the case may be.
Speaker 5: So if he's out there dominating, and I think it's
Speaker 5: gonna be a tighter game than like not the high scoring.
Speaker 5: I think it's gonna be tight in that regard, maybe
Speaker 5: a twenty seventeen something like that. If he's out there
Speaker 5: and he's getting points at a premium like that and
Speaker 5: you get you know, past the forty yard line, you
Speaker 5: know he's automatic. If he's able to do that, I
Speaker 5: mean that's a big time advantage for the Dallas cowboy.
Speaker 2: I'm going for big fire. Yeah, like, what just happened?
Speaker 2: What time is it? Two thirty three? No, remember to six. Listen.
Speaker 3: My first one was gonna be d Law, but I
Speaker 3: expect him already. You know what I'm saying. Yes, I
Speaker 3: gotta go, I gotta listen. If you are able to
Speaker 3: get an other weapon, all right, especially a weapon that
Speaker 3: can attack the middle of the field, because once you
Speaker 3: get somebody who can attack the middle of the field,
Speaker 3: it spreads the defense out right, then they have to
Speaker 3: focus on that part. It opens it up for the
Speaker 3: extra seve on the outside, which would be CD Lamb.
Speaker 3: It better be CD Lamb out there getting through three
Speaker 3: by one coverage so he can get the.
Speaker 2: Single or the z out there. Whatever.
Speaker 3: It spreads it out for you. So whoever that is,
Speaker 3: it's gonna be Cooks man. It'll open it up for Cooks.
Speaker 3: And it opened up for CD Lamb if somehow we
Speaker 3: can get Ferg in there working the middle of the field.
Speaker 3: And you see that with every team across the league.
Speaker 3: If they have a tight end, who can one create
Speaker 3: a mismatch with the linebackers and even on safeties and
Speaker 3: then work that middle of the field. It just opens
Speaker 3: up everything for the offense because now those zone droppers
Speaker 3: they have to really be able to say, you know what,
Speaker 3: they actually a throw the ball to that guy and
Speaker 3: then that'll open up the grab routse, behind the dig routes,
Speaker 3: the go rouse, all that type of stuff because the
Speaker 3: safety now has to pay attention to him. And I
Speaker 3: think if he's able to have a big game, my
Speaker 3: miscellaneous guy is Donovan Wilson Donald And the reason why
Speaker 3: is Donovan Wilson is going to be charged with stopping
Speaker 3: the run. He's got to play close to the line
Speaker 3: of scrimmage and he's also got to help against Dallas Goddard.
Speaker 3: I mean, that's a big responsibility. We cannot put all
Speaker 3: of that on Jerun Curse. And the thing that I
Speaker 3: say he's a miscellaneous player player in this game because
Speaker 3: we saw how he performed with Kittle. I mean, you look, hey,
Speaker 3: you talk about what did I see in the game
Speaker 3: that I went back to the I went back to
Speaker 3: the San Francisco game, and that was a rough outing
Speaker 3: for our safety.
Speaker 2: We're just saying it was. It was bad.
Speaker 3: And this is another situation where you come into a
Speaker 3: game where with a offensive coordinator, a head coach. That's
Speaker 3: going to test you with formation. It's definitely gonna test
Speaker 3: you with the tight end.
Speaker 2: They have too many. Who do you cover?
Speaker 3: So who do you see covering Goddard more out of
Speaker 3: Donald and Bell?
Speaker 5: I said, Dom From what I've said, they've been putting
Speaker 5: Bell on on these side. They've been they've been having
Speaker 5: them out there, and you know he's done. He's done
Speaker 5: a good job because we haven't seen him out so
Speaker 5: he must be doing eye in courage because we haven't
Speaker 5: even been like man who's out there getting shirt so
Speaker 5: but but God is a different animal. Man, that's that's
Speaker 5: a different beast.
Speaker 2: See, I got faith in playing and and Bell.
Speaker 3: He's only giving me reasons to believe in what he
Speaker 3: can do, especially since he's been getting better every game. Okay,
Speaker 3: And if they are going to put him on the
Speaker 3: tight end, then I gotta know, I gotta believe that
Speaker 3: they've seen something in him that says that's our best
Speaker 3: chance is stopping this stopping this guy, because God, it
Speaker 3: is a real, a real weapon out there, so you
Speaker 3: have to figure out what to do.
Speaker 2: I just don't know about Donald on and coverage.
Speaker 3: Now, He's just the thing that I see about Dallas
Speaker 3: gott Is, he's so patient, he understands defenses, and he's
Speaker 3: not one of those guys that's gonna, you know, get
Speaker 3: run full speed to the linebackers. He's gonna, you know,
Speaker 3: play it, play the block, chip, get around the back,
Speaker 3: and then just way on jaylen Hurst to find right
Speaker 3: in the middle of the defense. And for me, I
Speaker 3: wasn't thinking so much Marquise Bell And the reason why
Speaker 3: is because I've seen I haven't seen him so much
Speaker 3: a man the man I just made by having just
Speaker 3: noticed it. I've seen him play a little bit underneath
Speaker 3: with safety help over the top. On tight ends, that's
Speaker 3: the way to go. Don't don't leave fourteen by itself
Speaker 3: with Dallas Gotter the only person and I don't really
Speaker 3: trust him, but I'm going Jay run curse. If I
Speaker 3: just got to play man the man on a tight end,
Speaker 3: I gotta go, Jay run curse. In this situation that
Speaker 3: I saw on the injury report is nursing a toe
Speaker 3: injury that he showed up with that so that's another
Speaker 3: thing I don't need right now. But that's that's just
Speaker 3: my my my as far as my X factor, I'm
Speaker 3: seeing that, but I don't want to go away from
Speaker 3: what you said about the Marcus Lawrence. The Marcus Lawrence
Speaker 3: is a big He's a big piece this week because
Speaker 3: if you can get the best of Marcus Lawrence and
Speaker 3: we and I don't want to like put him into
Speaker 3: just a box of what he does, but I think
Speaker 3: he's your best run stopper up front. Oh absolutely, He's
Speaker 3: the most physical gal on your defense, like him and
Speaker 3: then Donald, But I think just.
Speaker 2: Play in and play out.
Speaker 3: De Marcus Lawrence is your most physical, dominating, intimidate, whatever
Speaker 3: you want to call it. He is that guy for
Speaker 3: our defense. So I mean, look, that's that's for me.
Speaker 3: He has to show up and my other guys gotta
Speaker 3: I mean, who are your other guys?
Speaker 5: You know, come on, dogs zuga gotta he gonna get hit,
Speaker 5: He gonna get it.
Speaker 2: It is start and it ends with number eleven.
Speaker 5: So he doesn't if he doesn't perform, if he doesn't
Speaker 5: have if he's not balling, this defense is gonna suffer.
Speaker 2: What I feel like, the defense feeds off of him.
Speaker 3: I feel like I think if they go in the
Speaker 3: field and you guys, come on, y'all tell me when
Speaker 3: you're playing with a world class dog and y'all going
Speaker 3: to y'all turn on the film, y'all looking at this
Speaker 3: dude like, did you.
Speaker 2: See what salt of you?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 2: You won't in on that. You won't in on that.
Speaker 3: And so to me, I feel like that's what this
Speaker 3: defense does. They feed off of what number eleven does.
Speaker 3: So if he come on the field and he's.
Speaker 2: Like, oh man, I don't know how this is.
Speaker 3: Gonna go, everybody else can feed on that. You know, Hey,
Speaker 3: don't shoot me for this. Okay, who's having who's having
Speaker 3: the best year? The best the player that's having the
Speaker 3: best year on our defense? All right, all right, I may.
Speaker 2: Take pick six? Is that the just steal it up?
Speaker 2: Because I mean, regardless if he threw the.
Speaker 3: Ball behind him or where it is, I mean, that's
Speaker 3: a guy that's catching the ball and he's taking it
Speaker 3: to the house. That's momentum changing. He's done that several times,
Speaker 3: but right now, I mean it's one A one B.
Speaker 3: Michaeh is the tone seenter. No, I know you, I
Speaker 3: know I wanted to say that because he's a tone setter.
Speaker 3: But I'm just looking at a guy like dron Bland
Speaker 3: knowing that A J. Brown is out there and the
Speaker 3: slim reapers out there, if he's able to make some
Speaker 3: big time players out there in this game. Talk about
Speaker 3: feeding off of off a guy as far as a man,
Speaker 3: Look look what that guy's doing. Man, that'd be a
Speaker 3: difference making for the office, defense and specialties because you
Speaker 3: gotta know that guy's in there are saying the same,
Speaker 3: Hey man, hey aj brown o beast man. We just
Speaker 3: got to figure out a way to make sure he
Speaker 3: don't go crazy on him. Just imagine that Deron Blank
Speaker 3: go out there and do some type of shutdown or
Speaker 3: you know, open the game off with an interception that
Speaker 3: is going to like really feed into the team of like,
Speaker 3: oh yeah, we here baby, And he has.
Speaker 5: An opportunity to do so because we looked at it
Speaker 5: as good as Hurts as looked at times this year,
Speaker 5: he's looked outstanding. He has turned the ball over ete
Speaker 5: interceptions far this season, second in the league, and then
Speaker 5: another three fumbles, So that's a that's eleven.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 5: So he's gonna have the opportunity to take the ball away.
Speaker 5: They gotta take advantage of it. Wow, you can't drop one.
Speaker 5: Don't give him but take it out there, take it
Speaker 5: out man. We're talking about feeding because that's the man.
