Speaker 2: Guys, it's still a say It with your Chest Friday,
Speaker 2: but it's just a little bit less of a say
Speaker 2: it with.
Speaker 3: Your Chest Friday.
Speaker 2: After the Cowboys fall forty four to thirty the final
Speaker 2: score in Week fourteen, Welcome into Talking Cowboys, presented by
Speaker 2: Black Rifle Coffee Company, live from the Star in Frisco, Texas,
Speaker 2: in the s WBC studio. Welcome in, everybody. We've got
Speaker 2: Patrick Nosey Walker, Josh Roderiguez, Isaiah stand Back, Chris Beam
Speaker 2: in the back of Kyle Yeoman's Cowboys fall to six
Speaker 2: six and one and their playoff hopes take a severe hit,
Speaker 2: a severe dash to the end, and with one month remaining,
Speaker 2: they're not out of it mathematically, but man, they're gonna
Speaker 2: need a lot of help from here on out. And
Speaker 2: you got to win pretty much everything else from here
Speaker 2: on out in order to do so. So I'll open
Speaker 2: the floor forty four to thirty. It wasn't pretty in
Speaker 2: any phase. There were a lot of mistakes on any
Speaker 2: phase of the imagination of this one offense, defense, special teams.
Speaker 3: Patrick. Since you were in the building at Ford Field,
Speaker 3: I will.
Speaker 2: And since you had to get up early this morning
Speaker 2: to be on the charter flight to get back here,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna let you start.
Speaker 3: I'm not sure what you're excited about it. This is
Speaker 3: a bad game. No, this is a bad game.
Speaker 4: But Josh and I for all the sneaker heads, they
Speaker 4: know we just got to drop this one. And we
Speaker 4: successfully acquired the Diamond Turfs Dim Cowboys color Wow. So
Speaker 4: we were waiting for the nine am drop got them
Speaker 4: and get them breakfast right today?
Speaker 3: Brother?
Speaker 4: All right, So to the Cowboys, Yeah, where do you
Speaker 4: start when there are so many places that you can start?
Speaker 4: I mean, we talked about how the defense looked different
Speaker 4: coming out of the bow week, and they most certainly did,
Speaker 4: so we're not going to take anything away from that,
Speaker 4: But we also talked about how this was going to
Speaker 4: be the test for them. Now we didn't know going
Speaker 4: into this game if Amo Rod Saint Brown would play
Speaker 4: or not. Not only did he not only did he play,
Speaker 4: but Dan Campbell made sure that the Cowboys understood he
Speaker 4: was going to be a big part of the game
Speaker 4: plan from the word go okay. They didn't have an
Speaker 4: answer for him. They didn't have an answer for Jamison Williams,
Speaker 4: and they absolutely did not have an answer for Jamiir Gibbs.
Speaker 4: Now we sat here on this at this panel and
Speaker 4: we say that you know, Jamier Gibbs, He's going to
Speaker 4: get his every once in a while. Boy, it turns
Speaker 4: out every once in a while is far more often
Speaker 4: than I would have liked to see. They couldn't cover
Speaker 4: him in space at all, which goes on the struggles.
Speaker 3: At the linebacker corps.
Speaker 4: Not going to just yet start pointing out names, we
Speaker 4: just know the linebacker corps as a whole struggled mightily
Speaker 4: last night against Jamier Gibbs, David Montgomery. You know, not
Speaker 4: that David Montgomery had a fantastic game, but the play
Speaker 4: that he had. When you look at that play and
Speaker 4: break it down, ironbacker Corps, going back to that flip
Speaker 4: it to the offensive side of the ball for the Cowboys,
Speaker 4: and shouts out to Ceedee Lamb because he had the
Speaker 4: bounce back game on Thanksgiving against the Chiefs, So then
Speaker 4: it was about stacking those kinds of days. He was
Speaker 4: taking the Lions out back and beating them to within
Speaker 4: an inch of their life. They had no answer for
Speaker 4: Ceedee Lamb before he got knocked out with that concussion.
Speaker 4: Knocked out of the game, I should say, with that concussion.
Speaker 4: Once he got knocked out of the game, that concussion,
Speaker 4: Cowboys had no offense. That was pretty much that you
Speaker 4: got to see more from George Pickens. We'll get to that.
Speaker 4: I'm quite sure you know. Javonte Williams, he did what
Speaker 4: he could. Man your offensive line got manhandled. I mean
Speaker 4: that's just absolutely manhandled.
Speaker 3: That's the problem in my eyes.
Speaker 4: Yeah, huge, just And I want to go ahead and
Speaker 4: just blame Isaiah standback because I told you not to
Speaker 4: piss off Aiight Hutchison. I told you, I said leave
Speaker 4: that damn bear alone. Didn't I say it? But did
Speaker 4: you do it? No?
Speaker 3: You did not?
Speaker 4: Eight Hunchson ten pressures ten ten? How many pressures did
Speaker 4: they have on the on the whole twenty eight and
Speaker 4: had half of them? Man, Oh my god, I gave
Speaker 4: Terryce Steel rightful praise for handleling Max Crosby. He deleted
Speaker 4: Jalen Phillips, that interior with Tyler Booker, they handled Chris Jones.
Speaker 4: And here came another test with Aiden Hutchison and eight
Speaker 4: Hutchison said, I heard tell somebody said I was not
Speaker 4: in peak for him anymore. He went out there and
Speaker 4: he showed that he was. So now we're back to
Speaker 4: wondering what's going on with the tackles, because you know,
Speaker 4: in Tyler Guiden's absence, now I've seen another bad outing
Speaker 4: from Nate Thomas. I'll go back to what I said
Speaker 4: three weeks ago, two three weeks ago when Nate Thomas
Speaker 4: went in when Tyler got and left with injury, and
Speaker 4: Nate Thomas did not have a good showing at all.
Speaker 4: Nate Thomas can be a serviceable swing tackle when you
Speaker 4: need him to step in from time to time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, But for.
Speaker 4: Those that are saying he's your full time guy, you're
Speaker 4: seeing why he's not your full time guy. And that's
Speaker 4: not to beat up on Nate Thomas because again Terry
Speaker 4: Steele had a bad game. I saw Tyler Smith missing
Speaker 4: a couple right the whole line right.
Speaker 3: The whole line struggled.
Speaker 4: So, I mean Dak was under siege last night. I'm
Speaker 4: just thankful that you know, QB one left in one piece,
Speaker 4: because you wondering.
Speaker 3: If he was going to a couple of times.
Speaker 4: Jake Ferguson, he wants to take this tape and set
Speaker 4: it on fire. There's probably I don't want to be
Speaker 4: a prison of recency buying that you guys will. And
Speaker 4: I think this was the worst game I've ever seen
Speaker 4: from jke FB. I think so OPI call, yeah, it sucked.
Speaker 4: It was egregiously bad. That's that helped turn the game.
Speaker 4: That's not why you lost the game. When you see
Speaker 4: Jake Ferguson on third and forever and he gets a
Speaker 4: check down on third and forever, and I get the effort,
Speaker 4: but there are three or four guys on you. You're
Speaker 4: not going to break three or four guys off of
Speaker 4: you and run for another twelve yards. You're not doing that.
Speaker 4: Just take the lower case L instead. It turns into
Speaker 4: a capital L because it's fumble.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it wasn't. What did they do? Wasn't that the
Speaker 3: That was the David Montgomery touchdown that came after the
Speaker 3: Ferguson bumble yeah.
Speaker 4: And then Fergie with the hands of the face that
Speaker 4: deleted the DPI downfield.
Speaker 5: It was all bad Josh's I think if you're a
Speaker 5: detroit you probably saw a lot of weaknesses in the
Speaker 5: Cowboys in terms of physicality and being able to run
Speaker 5: to the ball and take advantage of them sort of
Speaker 5: giving up when the play is over. The play isn't
Speaker 5: over until the whistle. You hear the whistle, and in
Speaker 5: a lot of those cases, Cowboys failed. You had a
Speaker 5: lot of Dallas Cowboys players individually that had really bad
Speaker 5: performances from players that you would not ordinarily see in
Speaker 5: my opinion, I mean, you've seen ups and downs this
Speaker 5: year from Deron Bland. This is one of his worst games.
Speaker 5: I feel like this is one of the worst games
Speaker 5: from Kenneth Murray, who has struggled in and out during
Speaker 5: the season. Terrence Steele and Nate Thomas. My goodness, what
Speaker 5: a terrible game for those two. And it's something that
Speaker 5: you would expect them to have a better game, knowing
Speaker 5: what is on the line here and just in.
Speaker 3: Every facet those guys got whooped.
Speaker 5: It's unfortunate because you expect more out of them, even
Speaker 5: though Nate Thomas is backup. I mean, we're talking about
Speaker 5: if he should be competing for Tyler Giton's number one spot.
Speaker 5: So that feels very unfortunate. Jake Ferguson, Like you said,
Speaker 5: there were just so many individual performances. George Pickens. George
Speaker 5: Pickens a guy that we've championed this whole season so far,
Speaker 5: and still to me, it's no doubt that he's also
Speaker 5: a number one receiver along with Ceedee Lamb. To me,
Speaker 5: there's no question about it. But the effort was in
Speaker 5: question yesterday. But I feel like the Lions did a
Speaker 5: good job of saying Ceedee Lamb and George Pickens are
Speaker 5: not going to kill us, even though Ceedee Lamb for
Speaker 5: a large part was killing him.
Speaker 3: But you had him frustrated.
Speaker 5: You were frustrating them enough to where they felt like,
Speaker 5: all right, fine, you know, they kind of backed off
Speaker 5: in their fundamentals and they were pressing.
Speaker 3: So you felt that a lot.
Speaker 5: I mean, you got to be happy for Ryan Flinoy,
Speaker 5: who had a great game all things considered, but you
Speaker 5: really really needed one of George Pickens yesterday and you
Speaker 5: just didn't get it. And even Dak for a large part.
Speaker 5: I mean, you got to be able to understand where
Speaker 5: the pressure is. If your tackles are not helping you,
Speaker 5: you got to throw it away. Man, don't take take
Speaker 5: the lowercase L. Do not take the capital l's. And
Speaker 5: that's what happened quite a bit.
Speaker 3: I thought there were a couple of times where he
Speaker 3: had no finish.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was still in the middle of that final plant,
Speaker 2: but was gone.
Speaker 5: Are we to say that he performed exactly how you
Speaker 5: would expect Dak Prescott to play in a game where, yes,
Speaker 5: he played exactly how you wanted to think he played.
Speaker 3: That DA had listen, all right, let's let's talk. You
Speaker 3: please talk, QB.
Speaker 5: Tell me.
Speaker 3: I'm I'm really frustrated. I'm really frustrated.
Speaker 6: I sat here and going. I mentioned this last week,
Speaker 6: I said going, or this week, I said going. Before
Speaker 6: watching the film, I thought that Dallas was going to
Speaker 6: take an L because physically, Detroit has always posed a
Speaker 6: major threat to Dallas, and they always beat up Dallas.
Speaker 3: They pumped, they punked Dallas. They just they punked them.
Speaker 2: Even in the game that Dallas won two years ago
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty.
Speaker 6: Three, they were arguably the more physical team, so that
Speaker 6: was remember I said, I said, I fear that Dallas
Speaker 6: would get beat up.
Speaker 3: But after watching the film.
Speaker 6: Based upon the matchups and based upon what they proposed
Speaker 6: in terms of their schemes, I felt like Dallas should
Speaker 6: win this ball game. But physically I was always concerned
Speaker 6: that stayed true. Dallas got physically beat up. They got
Speaker 6: punked once again. They obviously stepped on the same field
Speaker 6: with the same opportunity. One team played with energy, the
Speaker 6: other team played with no energy. One team continue to
Speaker 6: fight back and get back in the game. But even
Speaker 6: when they fight and get back in the game, you
Speaker 6: had no sense of confidence because they weren't playing with
Speaker 6: confidence in terms of effectiveness and execution. We sat there
Speaker 6: on the pregame show and Kyle posed a question to
Speaker 6: Nate Berry.
Speaker 3: And myself, and he asked, if you were.
Speaker 6: Going to shut down Dallas's offense, what would you do
Speaker 6: if you're going to shut down this tandem? And I said,
Speaker 6: I would play two men. I would get up at
Speaker 6: the line of scrimmage. I would sit on the inside
Speaker 6: hip pocket. I would contest them at the line of scrimmage,
Speaker 6: and then I would sit underneath their hip all the
Speaker 6: game long, with the safety over the top.
Speaker 3: What did they do two men the entire time?
Speaker 6: I also said, if they choose to do that, then
Speaker 6: you have to go to Jake Ferguson because this defense
Speaker 6: plays base defense. They don't really change much, and they're
Speaker 6: gonna have a linebacker on one of your highest paid
Speaker 6: players on your team.
Speaker 2: And they did that all night long, as alone, all
Speaker 2: night long was covering Jake Ferguson.
Speaker 6: As alone shouldn't be able to hold Jake Ferguson's tidy whities, right,
Speaker 6: you can. You can complain about the OPI, you can
Speaker 6: complain about the DPI, you complain about all the times
Speaker 6: he got It doesn't matter that matchup did not get
Speaker 6: highlighted enough. Let's just say that, Okay, they did not
Speaker 6: take advantage of that. I told you sitting there. I
Speaker 6: don't know, Colle's probably tired of me talking at the game,
Speaker 6: but I literally sat there. I said, if i'm Dak Prescott,
Speaker 6: I'm going to Jake. Once I recognize the defense that
Speaker 6: they're running, I'm saying, I'm throwing you the ball every
Speaker 6: single time the change until they change.
Speaker 3: Catch the dog on ball.
Speaker 7: Right.
Speaker 6: We knew it was gonna be contested. Everything was gonna
Speaker 6: be contested. This is a sicky team. They're fight. They're
Speaker 6: gonna fight to the lights out. Offensive line was trash.
Speaker 3: They're not gonna makes offensive line was absolutely trash.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you talk about Dak and his ability, you know,
Speaker 6: sometimes to throw it away.
Speaker 3: Dak was pressured many times.
Speaker 6: He was sacked five times on forty seven dropbacks, twenty
Speaker 6: five times out of forty seven passes.
Speaker 3: This dude was under duress. You can't do anything as
Speaker 3: a quarterback with that. I can't.
Speaker 6: I'm looking on the outside. Obviously, I'm getting the ball
Speaker 6: to cdcd's doing his thing. Okay, even contested catches, amazing
Speaker 6: catches with my CD. He goes out the game with
Speaker 6: a concussion. Okay, boom, I have another number one. He's
Speaker 6: gonna step up. No, he's jogging. Call it what it is.
Speaker 6: He's jogging. There's no way he can watch this film
Speaker 6: and dispute anything that anybody on TV or a period
Speaker 6: right now is saying. He was jogging on routes, he
Speaker 6: was short arming routes, he was not giving a full
Speaker 6: effort on a lot of things that we can point
Speaker 6: to in that game. That's not what people want to
Speaker 6: see out of your one B receiver. He has to
Speaker 6: check himself on that. There's no disputing, no disputing its
Speaker 6: old line was absolutely booboo. Javonte Williams did what he
Speaker 6: did what he could do with what he was given. Defensively,
Speaker 6: he tried to I couldn't be more frustrated this defense.
Speaker 6: I'm not going to call out names right now. There's
Speaker 6: some people who shouldn't be out there. Some guys from
Speaker 6: in terms of their execution shouldn't be out there. Some
Speaker 6: guys based upon their physical abilities right now shouldn't be
Speaker 6: out there.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 6: Do you have much of a choice based upon the
Speaker 6: guys that you have with that depth? Ah, I don't know,
Speaker 6: but maybe you might want to put them in a
Speaker 6: better position. But I do know that a Manros Saint
Speaker 6: Brown versus fourteen yards off with a safety guarding him.
Speaker 3: Is probably not going to stop him.
Speaker 6: Putting Donovan Wilson fourteen yards away from Momara Saint Brown's
Speaker 6: probably not.
Speaker 3: A good scheme. And that was on first intent, first
Speaker 3: and tent, and that was on multiple occasions.
Speaker 6: Okay, just playing off, it's literally passed just routes on air,
Speaker 6: just like if you get to the game early and
Speaker 6: you watch teams warm up.
Speaker 3: That's what a Mona Saint Brown did majority of the night.
Speaker 3: He didn't have a contested catches. These are routes on air.
Speaker 6: Jamison Williams fastest man on the field, no matter what
Speaker 6: field he steps on, no matter what opponent. Why is
Speaker 6: Marquis Bell playing manned man on him. One of your
Speaker 6: slowest dbs is playing against the fastest man on the field. Schematically,
Speaker 6: that makes zero sense to me. I'm not even gonna
Speaker 6: talk about execution. I don't I'm not mad at Marque's Bell.
Speaker 6: He doesn't stand a chance.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he doesn't stand put in the position to.
Speaker 3: Be successful exactly, doesn't stand that.
Speaker 6: That's a scheme law. That's a scheme thing. So playing
Speaker 6: off of Alamara Saint Brown is a scheme issue. Playing
Speaker 6: zone defense and backing off eight yards of freaking Jamier
Speaker 6: Gibbs when he lines up at receiver is the scheme problem.
Speaker 6: There was scheme issues, there were executions issues. There was
Speaker 6: issues across the board. I can go all day long,
Speaker 6: but those are some of the things that were glaring
Speaker 6: in my eyes. We could talk about the Jay Ferguson fumble,
Speaker 6: the effort there, it's hard. I'm frustrated. Yet he fumbled,
Speaker 6: so did George Pickens. We just happened to fall on it.
Speaker 6: You know a lot of things that are occurring that
Speaker 6: have to be cleaned up. Obviously, this game you couldn't
Speaker 6: afford to lose. They did lose it refrustrated or the
Speaker 6: one positive that you could take away is that Dak
Speaker 6: didn't it hurt.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's still available.
Speaker 2: I mean, even Ceedee Lamb being out in George Pickens pride.
Speaker 3: I don't know what it is, but there were a
Speaker 3: lot of different than Brandon Aubrey. Brandon Aubrey, I gotta
Speaker 3: give him hell, Yeah, kept in the game.
Speaker 6: Brandon Aubrey kept single handily kept you kept.
Speaker 3: You get across the literally fifteen and we sat there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's not a one possession game at twenty seven
Speaker 2: nineteen without Brandon Aubrey get across the fifties.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like, and you can see that Dallas.
Speaker 6: I don't want to project, I'm going to assume right
Speaker 6: based upon what I saw, it felt as if Dallas
Speaker 6: was satisfied getting across the fifty and saying we have
Speaker 6: Brandon Aubrey.
Speaker 3: That's what it felt like. Dude. Sure it did, and
Speaker 3: we've seen that happen before.
Speaker 2: We've seen that happen previously with another coaching staff that
Speaker 2: was here.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's happened before and characteristic.
Speaker 2: When your safety blanket becomes your game plan, that's a problem.
Speaker 2: And that's kind of what it ultimately felt like. And
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna like you said, I'm not gonna projected
Speaker 2: they were trying to go and score touchdowns. Should get
Speaker 2: a twisted whatever they call a play period, it's to
Speaker 2: try and score a touchdown.
Speaker 3: That's just how football works.
Speaker 2: However, Brandon Aubrey absolutely a weapon. I think my number
Speaker 2: one takeaway from this game is the way that the
Speaker 2: defense did not continue the momentum from the three games
Speaker 2: prior because they were put in bad situations. Don't get
Speaker 2: me wrong, y'all have talked about offense, You've talked about defense.
Speaker 2: You've talked about the positives of the special teams. How
Speaker 2: about the fact that Detroit averaged a starting field position
Speaker 2: of forty two yard line outside of the final kneel
Speaker 2: down in the game. According to sources, that is not good. No,
Speaker 2: it is not. That means you only have to go
Speaker 2: fifty eight yards per drive to score fifty eight yards
Speaker 2: instead of seventy five or seventy or sixty five, All
Speaker 2: of those things across.
Speaker 3: The board are certainly that's not good. Is that helpful
Speaker 3: when you're eighty percent conversion at risk? Absolutely not.
Speaker 2: It is not helpful at all. So they were put
Speaker 2: in a bad spot. Takeaways, the fumble from Jake Ferguson,
Speaker 2: the interception at the beginning of the third quarter, Both
Speaker 2: of those things hurt you tremendously. And it almost hurts
Speaker 2: you again as you talked about with the fumble in
Speaker 2: the red zone with George Pickens. So we talk about
Speaker 2: complimentary offense a lot or complimentary football a lot is
Speaker 2: what I right. This was anti complimentary. This was hurt
Speaker 2: full football. Your special teams hurt your defense, then your
Speaker 2: offense hurt your defense, then your defense hurts your offense,
Speaker 2: and then it just all kind of fell apart, and you.
Speaker 3: Were absolutely so.
Speaker 2: I have a hard time looking at this game and
Speaker 2: looking at this film and saying Detroit handled you. They
Speaker 2: did physically, don't get me wrong. And I give a
Speaker 2: lot of credit to Dan Campbell for getting these guys
Speaker 2: up and ready to play. They had lost two of
Speaker 2: three coming in, and there were a lot of things
Speaker 2: on the line for Detroit just as much as there
Speaker 2: was for Dallas. However, Dallas shot themselves in the foot consistently,
Speaker 2: over and over and over again. And there were things
Speaker 2: that Detroit did better than Dallas, but there are a
Speaker 2: lot of things Dallas left on the table.
Speaker 3: And that's the most frustrating.
Speaker 4: Listen, you guys, uh some excellent points, Kyle. You lost
Speaker 4: to yourself absolutely you talk about the Cowboys schematics now,
Speaker 4: execution issues were absolutely there again your linebackers, and not
Speaker 4: necessarily to Marvey on over shown, but some of your
Speaker 4: other linebackers, like Jared Goff threw four three hundred and
Speaker 4: nine yards and a touchdown.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's a solid stat line, a solid stat line.
Speaker 4: Okay, two hundred and fifty yards of those, including that touchdown,
Speaker 4: came when the Cowboys were in zone coverage. Cowboys ran
Speaker 4: zone coverage eighty six percent of the time. Yeah, and
Speaker 4: Jerick Goff just sat back there and decimated. You said,
Speaker 4: how much eighty six percent of the time.
Speaker 2: If I got an eighty six on a test, I'd
Speaker 2: get like ice cream after after the test my way home.
Speaker 3: Can I just point to something?
Speaker 6: No, see, while you're pointing out the zone, because you
Speaker 6: guys know, I hate zone. I was literally about to
Speaker 6: throw something through the telestrator.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we had to hold them back.
Speaker 6: Bro Listen, fourth quarter, you're down by eight one possession, correct,
Speaker 6: just one. You literally are in a position to get
Speaker 6: off the field, get the ball back to your offense
Speaker 6: as bad as you're playing, as bad as you're playing,
Speaker 6: and you play seventy two yards off.
Speaker 3: And you allow them to get in field goal range.
Speaker 6: That drive, in particular, I was about to lose my mind.
Speaker 6: You are three downs away from getting the ball back
Speaker 6: into Dak Prescott's hands to have an opportunity to tie
Speaker 6: the game up when your team is playing terrible, and
Speaker 6: you back up schematically, you back up and say go
Speaker 6: ahead and get.
Speaker 3: In field goal range and make it a two possession game.
Speaker 6: I can't comprehend it. I legit. We can point to
Speaker 6: a lot of different things. Let's talk about that drive.
Speaker 6: I need to understand what is the thought process to
Speaker 6: play twelve yards off when you only need when they
Speaker 6: only need to get balled ten to fifteen yards further
Speaker 6: down the field to kick a field goal and put
Speaker 6: this game out of reach.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the first time we've seen that this season either.
Speaker 6: And I'm talking to Kyle and I'm like, what about
Speaker 6: situational football is not getting across that. This is a
Speaker 6: time and place in the game where you go to
Speaker 6: that call sheet and you're like, these five plays that
Speaker 6: I mapped out is for this situation right here. These
Speaker 6: are my five plays that I have. These are my
Speaker 6: go getters, These are my break glass and area I
Speaker 6: need to play right now. You don't have five plays,
Speaker 6: you don't have one.
Speaker 3: Like that drove me crazy. It made no sense.
Speaker 6: You were so close, like this game was right there,
Speaker 6: and you backed up and you gave it to them.
Speaker 3: Take it. You just take it here. You can have it,
Speaker 3: routes on air, take it. Maybe you'll drop the ball.
Speaker 2: The same thing happened at the end of the second
Speaker 2: quarter too, after you kick the field goal prior to halftime,
Speaker 2: inside the two minute time out, playing so far off
Speaker 2: that they easily walked down the field forty seconds, easily
Speaker 2: walked down the field and kicked the field goals and
Speaker 2: just completely negated everything you had done to that point.
Speaker 3: That's easy he did. He was trying, man. Yeah, it
Speaker 3: was a This was a tough one.
Speaker 2: When we come back here on talking Cowboys, I want
Speaker 2: to hear from Patrick Nosey Walker. We got a little
Speaker 2: lab coat, we got a makeup. We do coming in grum.
Speaker 3: We'll grumble, grumble, grumble. Get some stats.
Speaker 2: After this, we'll continue to break down the Cowboys forty
Speaker 2: four thirty loss to the Detroit Lions when we come
Speaker 2: back with more after this.

Speaker 8: hard and to build a future. That's why we're here

Speaker 4: How's it going you see that Cowboys game?
Speaker 3: Oh? I watched. I've been seeing some good things totally.
Speaker 4: They have some talent, You have some great talent, and
Speaker 4: they got some fight hoping.
Speaker 3: This is the year me too. Oh, I'm Cody. By
Speaker 3: the way, I'm Travis. Nice to meet you. Travis. Go

Speaker 3: their shirt choice. What would you like the power to do?
Speaker 7: Bank?
Speaker 3: Of America, the Official Bank of the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 4: Copyright twenty twenty five. Bank of America Corporation.
Speaker 3: To Talking Cowboys.
Speaker 2: Back here on Talking Cowboys presented by Black Rifle Coffee Company,
Speaker 2: where your Cowboys geared to a Black Rifle Coffee location
Speaker 2: get ten percent off your entire order. I hope you
Speaker 2: did it yesterday. I hope you got it done all right.
Speaker 2: Cowboys do not get it done forty four thirty. They
Speaker 2: get forty burgers put on that Cowboys defense. And I
Speaker 2: give a lot of credit to that, to the offense too,
Speaker 2: the Cowboys offense for allowing that to happen in the
Speaker 2: Special Teams unit. Not complimentary football to say the least. Now, Patrick,
Speaker 2: we didn't get to do it on Tuesday because it
Speaker 2: was a loaded show.
Speaker 3: Short week.
Speaker 4: We had the greatness of QB visions. We certainly did popcorn.
Speaker 2: But you know what time it is, bring me in
Speaker 2: and be mur yes, science.
Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, it's time for lab coat. So a couple
Speaker 4: of points here on lab coote one flies right to
Speaker 4: the heart of what Isaiah is saying.
Speaker 3: Again.
Speaker 4: I was stated once again, the Cowboys ran zone eighty
Speaker 4: seven percent of the time last night Jarreed Goff had
Speaker 4: two hundred and fifty of his three hundred and nine
Speaker 4: passing yards and his only passing touchdown when the Cowboys.
Speaker 3: Ri in zone. Let's expound upon that just really quickly.
Speaker 4: Isaiah is talking about the Cowboys being in third and
Speaker 4: long situations, sometimes even second and long situations and playing
Speaker 4: all the way back like I mean, they were in
Speaker 4: all of it. They were in Texas trying to stop,
Speaker 4: you know, a third and.
Speaker 3: Eight lake erie.
Speaker 4: Jered Goff just took everything that they gave. And we
Speaker 4: talk a lot about taking what the defense gives you, well,
Speaker 4: the Cowboys defense was given him all of it, and
Speaker 4: he was taking all of it. Jerry Golf completed twenty
Speaker 4: four of thirty three. Shouts out to MGS for this
Speaker 4: twenty four of his thirty three attempts for two hundred
Speaker 4: and seventy two yards and the touchdown, with most of
Speaker 4: the production on quick passes, not downfield production. It was
Speaker 4: getting it out quick, quick, get it out into the
Speaker 4: hands of your playmakers and let them make plays high percentage,
Speaker 4: high percentage. He completed seventeen of his twenty one quick
Speaker 4: pass attempts for a total of one hundred and sixty
Speaker 4: seven yards and the tudy that is a quick pass
Speaker 4: rate of sixty two percent. It's his highest mark in
Speaker 4: the game since he signed with the Lions.
Speaker 3: And the Cowboys.
Speaker 4: Let him do it question, Hold on, I'm gonna say
Speaker 4: this one more time.
Speaker 3: Just what people understand? Yeah? Please?
Speaker 4: Okay, sixty cool. That's for the status nerds such as myself.
Speaker 4: Let me just put it in plain language though. Jerret
Speaker 4: Golf against the Dallas Cowboys on on Thursday Night football
Speaker 4: just registered the highest success rate on his quick passes
Speaker 4: in his entire career with the Detroit Lions. Zone coverage
Speaker 4: was early Christmas for him and those playmakers.
Speaker 5: Really quick, how do you combat a really solid interior
Speaker 5: defensive line?
Speaker 3: Oh, get it out? Yeah, quick passes, get it out.
Speaker 6: But you know what, and then and and I just
Speaker 6: want to wrap this up, no see, because I don't
Speaker 6: want there to be this ideology that we're speaking negatively
Speaker 6: about zone.
Speaker 3: All the time. We're not talking about.
Speaker 4: The time.
Speaker 3: So even if let let's just go and put this
Speaker 3: on it too.
Speaker 6: No see, there's a way to play zone eighty seven
Speaker 6: percent of the time, even though I don't like that
Speaker 6: without playing.
Speaker 3: Far off, I don't like that zone.
Speaker 6: There are many ways to remain in zone and still
Speaker 6: disrupt the releases of receivers. The one thing that receivers
Speaker 6: hate when they're trying to get out into their routes
Speaker 6: is to have to run around another person. I don't
Speaker 6: want to have to deal with getting around you and
Speaker 6: then getting to my spot and then getting out of
Speaker 6: my break and then catching the ball. But if you're
Speaker 6: playing off, I don't have to worry about that because
Speaker 6: once I cross five yards, by law, you can't touch me.
Speaker 6: So you are taking away the advantage that you have
Speaker 6: as a defender within that first five yards that they
Speaker 6: allot for to go up and make my job difficult.
Speaker 6: So when you talk about eighty seven percent efficiency there
Speaker 6: when you're playing fourteen yards, when you're playing twelve ten,
Speaker 6: eight yards off of these receivers in the NFL. But
Speaker 6: let's talk about a Manra Saint Brown in particular, one
Speaker 6: of the best possession receivers I consider.
Speaker 3: In the league.
Speaker 6: You might not want to give him that five yard
Speaker 6: grace period that you actually are gifted to go be
Speaker 6: physical with him. And if you were ever going to
Speaker 6: be physical with a Monro Saint Brown, it probably should
Speaker 6: come on the heels of him not having practice because
Speaker 6: of an ankle injury. I'm probably gonna go make his
Speaker 6: life a little bit more difficult to get off the ball,
Speaker 6: be a little more physical, a little bit more physical
Speaker 6: at least it's gonna get up there and force them
Speaker 6: to go into a short motion.
Speaker 3: Like oh they did that with Jamior gifts. Make them
Speaker 3: do a.
Speaker 6: Short motion so that you can't go up during disrupt
Speaker 6: And that's what teams do to combat people, teams that
Speaker 6: want to come up and press so you can play
Speaker 6: zone defense while still disrupting releases at the line of scrimmage.
Speaker 3: Dallas for whatever reason, all season long, not just tonight.
Speaker 6: Yeah right, this has been my This has been my
Speaker 6: my issue I've had all season long, but it's specifically
Speaker 6: in games that really matter.
Speaker 3: You cannot give those gifts for you Christmas is here.
Speaker 3: I get it. You can't give away gifts because you
Speaker 3: just gave away your chance for the playoffs.
Speaker 4: So here's here's my question, because I want we've been talking,
Speaker 4: especially because of the focus of lab Code on this
Speaker 4: particular thing. I know a lot some fans are probably
Speaker 4: listening to this and saying at this point they're saying,
Speaker 4: but it wasn't only the defense. You're right, but it
Speaker 4: was also the defense. You're right, it was the offense
Speaker 4: as well. But it wasn't only the offense either. A
Speaker 4: special team. So here's my question for all of the
Speaker 4: rightful criticism that eba Flues draws from the fan base
Speaker 4: and from the analysts, when we see things like what
Speaker 4: we saw last night Detroit Lions, when is everyone going
Speaker 4: to start having the sorts and conversation.
Speaker 3: Oh, we've had it, we were talking about that. I've
Speaker 3: been had it.
Speaker 4: Okay, it's a conversation that needs to be had, and
Speaker 4: I believe it needs to be had in the front
Speaker 4: office as well. Shoty needs to have a conversation with
Speaker 4: his special teams coordinator because this is a special teams unit. Now,
Speaker 4: thankfully Butter is still Butter, okay, but this is a
Speaker 4: special teams unit that went from being the best.
Speaker 3: In the league, not even close best than yeah, I.
Speaker 4: Mean not even wasn't even arguable, no, to probably be
Speaker 4: not even probably to be one of the worst in
Speaker 4: the league. Now save for you know, effort from guys
Speaker 4: like Elijah Clark a couple of weeks ago, save for
Speaker 4: effort from guys like Samuel with the block field goals.
Speaker 4: So you have like an individual standout here and there,
Speaker 4: here and there, but the unit as a whole, save
Speaker 4: for those that have the consistency of Brandon Aubrey, Special
Speaker 4: Teams has taken a massive, gargantuan step back, and I
Speaker 4: feel like the criticism for flu still justified is kind
Speaker 4: of saving Nick Swrtenson from criticism. Yes, I don't feel
Speaker 4: like it's a conversation that needs.
Speaker 3: To be head No.
Speaker 6: See, I can tell you this. You guys are fan.
Speaker 6: Our family have brought it up numerous times. You guys
Speaker 6: have brought up numerous times friends and family and said
Speaker 6: that I should get into coaching, and I've always been like,
Speaker 6: heck no, not getting to coaching.
Speaker 3: Kyle, what did I say last night?
Speaker 2: You said I think I could be a pretty darn
Speaker 2: good special teams coordinator.
Speaker 3: He almost forced me into.
Speaker 2: He was like, hold on a second. He's like, let
Speaker 2: me go get my ball cap backwards. Visor, let me
Speaker 2: go get that out of the car real quick.
Speaker 5: Why do you say that isaim is?
Speaker 6: I don't feel this is my feeling. I don't feel
Speaker 6: like he's connected to the Special Teams unit. I'll say
Speaker 6: that I don't. I don't know him personally. I've been around,
Speaker 6: I've seen I've seen his presence amongst that, and I've
Speaker 6: experienced a lot of Special Teams coordinators in my life.
Speaker 3: The most successful Specially Teams coordinators.
Speaker 6: That I've seen are either super savvy vets cats have
Speaker 6: been around for a long time, old school cats right
Speaker 6: that their players just ball out for them, right, just
Speaker 6: old rugged cats. Or they're young guys with a lot
Speaker 6: of juice and a lot of energy. Because Special Teams
Speaker 6: is a special unit. It is a unit where you
Speaker 6: are literally going out there in is seventy effort thirty
Speaker 6: percent execution.
Speaker 3: It's the dirty work.
Speaker 6: It's the dirty work, and you got to have somebody
Speaker 6: that is the juice man. And I've never seen him
Speaker 6: do anything, even a Jason Garrett clap. That's not to
Speaker 6: say that he's not doing it.
Speaker 2: Think the biggest thing that I've seen him do was
Speaker 2: after the second time getting on Turp. Second time that
Speaker 2: it's happened in two weeks where Cavante Turpin does a
Speaker 2: fake fair catch and then tried to return and and
Speaker 2: it ends up being a penalty second time, and Sorenson,
Speaker 2: I give him credit he got in the face of
Speaker 2: turf and he was lighting up turp on the sideline,
Speaker 2: which I don't know if that's a terp habit or something.
Speaker 2: I don't know's if it's a plan. That's even worse
Speaker 2: if that was a plan. But it's done.
Speaker 3: It's been happened twice in a row.
Speaker 4: It didn't happen with Boone and so I get onto
Speaker 4: or I give.
Speaker 2: Him credit for getting on to term. But that was
Speaker 2: really the most emotion we've seen out of the guy
Speaker 2: at any point in time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's special teams has been a problem. It has
Speaker 3: really quickly.
Speaker 4: To someone in the chat who asked, how was it
Speaker 4: also offense's fault, it's because they got in their own way.
Speaker 4: Talk about it, Jake, This is just quick and we'll
Speaker 4: get back to special teams. Jake Ferguson's fumbled Jake Ferguson,
Speaker 4: hands to the face.
Speaker 3: Did they watched the game?
Speaker 4: The offensive line got offensive like Scott got hit eleven times, sacked,
Speaker 4: five times, pressure twenty times.
Speaker 3: That's how the offense.
Speaker 2: Ow Kwahem Mohammad, who you let go and braining camp last.
Speaker 3: Year, had three sacks.
Speaker 2: So three to answer that question, not Micah Parsons, not
Speaker 2: Aiden Grudge, not not all these other Miles Garrett, these
Speaker 2: JJ Watts. No, but no, it was al Quaheen Mohammad,
Speaker 2: a high afford guy, high afford motor.
Speaker 3: Never should have let walk out the door. Isaiah has
Speaker 3: been very highly spoken about that form.
Speaker 4: But yeah, So circling back to special teams because I
Speaker 4: want to hear josh Is standpoint on it, because it
Speaker 4: sounds like he had some passion in that, uh in
Speaker 4: that and some point.
Speaker 5: I mean, it's it's hard to disagree that the Cowboys
Speaker 5: are a worst special teams unit this year compared to
Speaker 5: last year. You can't really dispute it at this point.
Speaker 5: And like you said, it's much worse. And Brandon Aubrey
Speaker 5: makes up for a lot of that because Brandon Aubrey
Speaker 5: is Brandon Aubrey. But if you look at just mistackles,
Speaker 5: just mistackles on special teams, that is what's really killing
Speaker 5: you right now. And we're talking about the position that
Speaker 5: they had all game. That was a big part of
Speaker 5: it too. It's it's not just punk coverage or anything
Speaker 5: like that.
Speaker 2: Kickoff coverage, kickoff off coverage, normal business really.
Speaker 6: Bad last night, and and the game has changed, and
Speaker 6: yet you kept kicking to the guy. So it's not
Speaker 6: a knowing that you that your coverage is poor. I
Speaker 6: don't have a problem with that. I don't have a
Speaker 6: problem with that because in this new kickoff era. Okay,
Speaker 6: back in the day I was, we were had to
Speaker 6: run down on kickoff, it was L five L four.
Speaker 6: You had to get run into a wedge and a wall. Right,
Speaker 6: you're going right, this new era, you're standing there, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 6: You're standing there and you're literally right five yards away
Speaker 6: from a guy. Right, most of the time is you
Speaker 6: versus that guy. You can scheme it up a little bit,
Speaker 6: but majority of the time you have one on one matchups.
Speaker 6: Beat your man, Yeah, beat your man. There are a
Speaker 6: lot of drills that that you can do in in
Speaker 6: this in this game of football that will position you
Speaker 6: to be successful. Personnel groupings matter, right, the type of
Speaker 6: personnelities you have. What did I say last night? I said,
Speaker 6: if I was on, if I was especially in the coordinator,
Speaker 6: of my guys would be defensive defensive players.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you said they needed a little edge to them.
Speaker 6: You gotta have some edge to them, you gotta have.
Speaker 6: You got some defensive ends. You have some linebackers and
Speaker 6: you got you have a bussy's cats in the mouth. Yeah,
Speaker 6: I'm trying to if you have a hard chin strap,
Speaker 6: I need that thing cracked by the end of the game.
Speaker 3: It's it's a violent game. There's a violent game that
Speaker 3: we play. So this is not pity.
Speaker 7: Pat.
Speaker 6: Let me let you get forty yards on a kickoff return,
Speaker 6: which they did all night long, last all night.
Speaker 4: But you know, I said, you made a point that
Speaker 4: I'm going to double down on because I don't want
Speaker 4: fans to view it as a fleeting point. Just as
Speaker 4: from player to player, there has to be chemistry in
Speaker 4: each position group, in each unit.
Speaker 3: This Special Teams as a unit.
Speaker 4: And this is coming from someone who's in the building
Speaker 4: at every practice in the locker room, I talk to players,
Speaker 4: and not to say that players are throwing, you know,
Speaker 4: sore and center the bus. I'm not saying that at all.
Speaker 4: But when you talk about the feel like these past
Speaker 4: several seasons, it felt like Special Teams players would run
Speaker 4: through a wall for bones fossil. I don't feel that.
Speaker 3: I just I just don't.
Speaker 4: It just it just feels like there are players and
Speaker 4: there's the coach and it goes it's.
Speaker 6: A part of Burblo Quick even on Punk return and
Speaker 6: you can see it, and I know people are going
Speaker 6: to Turpen is one of the best punk returners.
Speaker 3: How many opportunities has he had?
Speaker 2: Not a ton?
Speaker 3: Not a ton? And you know what that goes to.
Speaker 6: It goes to the aspect of the game that a
Speaker 6: lot of people don't pay attention to because they don't
Speaker 6: really show it on the screen or you don't really
Speaker 6: talk about it.
Speaker 3: It's the hold up. It's the hold up.
Speaker 6: Some of the great teams that I've been on we
Speaker 6: worked to crap out of that drill in practice. Man,
Speaker 6: the man, you're on film. We're highlighting this and we're
Speaker 6: gonna watch it on film in front of the whole team.
Speaker 6: Can you get a hold up on this dude? Come off,
Speaker 6: put your hand on, crowding on your helmet and his
Speaker 6: chance strap, sit your button down, lock up, and don't
Speaker 6: let him off the line.
Speaker 3: There's a pride factor that comes with that. If I
Speaker 3: do my job, and.
Speaker 6: If my partners do their job across the board, our
Speaker 6: returnment has a chance. But if I come off and
Speaker 6: I just hit him in and I let this dude
Speaker 6: just throw me to the side, and run down the field.
Speaker 6: Now turf has to fair catch, So there's a pride
Speaker 6: factor that grows across the board and tech technical aspect
Speaker 6: that people aren't paying attention to that is contributing to
Speaker 6: why we're saying this about the special teams unit as
Speaker 6: a whole.
Speaker 2: So with all of that being said, special teams specifically
Speaker 2: and everything pieced together here, we expected a drop off.
Speaker 3: When John Fossil left, right, you knew that was a
Speaker 3: big lores.
Speaker 2: He's the best in the league, one of the best
Speaker 2: special teams coordinators in football. Right now, you knew there
Speaker 2: was going to be a drop off, and I don't.
Speaker 2: I'm not even so that as a knock toward Nick Sorenson.
Speaker 2: But the drop off has been far severe, or far
Speaker 2: more severe than I think we even anticipated going into
Speaker 2: the year. There's got to be a significant change in
Speaker 2: the special teams unit to make it worthwhile to have
Speaker 2: that conversation or to push aside that conversation as these
Speaker 2: final four games go along. All right, we got to
Speaker 2: get another break in here. When we come back, We're
Speaker 2: going to talk about the games that are on the
Speaker 2: docket this week. We're going to actually make some picks.
Speaker 2: If you want to be a part of our pickham

Speaker 2: This segment has brought to you by invisi Line, the
Speaker 2: official Smile of the Dallas Cowboys. Back with Patrick Noci Walker,
Speaker 2: Josh Rodriguez, Isaiah's standback with Chris Beam in the back
Speaker 2: of Kyle Yeoman's Real Quickly, it's time for our college
Speaker 2: football minute. There are a couple teams in action this week.
Speaker 2: It's not Isaiah's team. Josh's team is always in action.
Speaker 2: They're always doing their work to get out of legal action.
Speaker 3: You know what I mean? Oh my god, because they're
Speaker 3: being sued all right, Pat tell us about them. Georgia Bulldogs.
Speaker 4: Uh yeah, So you know one thing I do love
Speaker 4: is a good old fashioned rematch. So Alabama came to
Speaker 4: Athens a few weeks ago and they snug one on us,
Speaker 4: you know, barely got.
Speaker 3: Away ward twenty one. Yeah, barely got away with it.
Speaker 4: But we get them back in the SEC Championship in
Speaker 4: Atlanta on Saturday. So I would absolutely love to just
Speaker 4: maul them. I will say I am concerned, not necessarily
Speaker 4: about the game itself, but I'm concerned about it being
Speaker 4: a bonus game because of the way that you know,
Speaker 4: college football is set up now with the twelve game record.
Speaker 3: I don't like that.
Speaker 4: Now the SEC Championship, you know, and conference championships have
Speaker 4: basically just been reduced to bragging rights. So with that,
Speaker 4: we're risking injury for bragging rights, knowing that the playoffs
Speaker 4: are coming up.
Speaker 3: So don't like that.
Speaker 4: That needs to be fixed. But that's a soapbox. I'm
Speaker 4: not going to get on. Go out there, handle low Todd,
Speaker 4: and let's take some momentum to the playoffs.
Speaker 3: Go do look.
Speaker 2: So for the upper echelon of conferences, yeah, you're right,
Speaker 2: conference championship games are just a bragging right.
Speaker 3: Not the case for the University of North Texas, Mean Green.
Speaker 2: It is literally the biggest game in the history of
Speaker 2: the program, and there's not been a conversation. It happens
Speaker 2: tonight on ABC Prime Times. Go North Texas, the number
Speaker 2: twenty four ranked team in the recent College Football Playoff rankings,
Speaker 2: taking on number twenty two lane.
Speaker 3: The winner is going to the College Football It's been
Speaker 3: a long season. Put your green draws on me. You
Speaker 3: can't say it got them on. They just made them.
Speaker 3: I could still say it. There are a lot of
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say.
Speaker 2: A lot of things have happened as a part of
Speaker 2: this program over the last couple of weeks, especially the
Speaker 2: coach leaving to Oklahoma State. They have now announced a
Speaker 2: new coach, Neil Brown is going to be the next
Speaker 2: head coach for North Texas eugm Also, yeah, the GM's
Speaker 2: going to Oklahoma, to Oklahoma State.
Speaker 3: Just keep on. This is just that night in the
Speaker 3: adversity that there is adversity.
Speaker 2: But the big thing is they've got a chance to
Speaker 2: win one game tonight for all the glory. Marbles may
Speaker 2: even be headed to Athens next next time they play
Speaker 2: a game, who knows, it may be Eugene and maybe
Speaker 2: we'll see what's gonna happen. I'm sure you will North
Speaker 2: Texas Tu Lane tonight.
Speaker 3: Can't wait.
Speaker 2: And I'm telling you, if they end up winning that game,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be insufferable on social media.
Speaker 3: Pulling for you. Thank you seriously appreciate it.
Speaker 2: I wish I was down there. We have worked, Kyle

Speaker 4: Oh, I'm never going for those for those guys, Vikings
Speaker 4: Vikings win.
Speaker 2: See, I need to make up some ground here. I'm
Speaker 2: going to go with the Commanders because the Vikings don't
Speaker 2: know what the heck they're.
Speaker 3: Doing at quarterback, right quarterback quarterback?
Speaker 5: Yeah no, that's a miserable situation. And I believe the
Speaker 5: Commanders are getting their QB one back this farday.
Speaker 3: He had a full practice.
Speaker 2: Either way, Marcus Mariota is better than both the guys
Speaker 2: on the Viking struck.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, give me the Commanders command. This is where
Speaker 3: I make up ground.

Speaker 7: my homes. Let's go with the Chiefs.
Speaker 2: Sh They're desperate back against the wall. I think I'm
Speaker 2: gonna take Kansas City here too.
Speaker 3: I like that Texans defense, but I just think that
Speaker 3: Andy Reeve is gonna have something in the story. I
Speaker 3: don't know whether Houston's offense.
Speaker 2: Is doing, so I'm going with the Alight.
Speaker 3: That's a tough one, Patrick Ugo.
Speaker 4: It is a tough because the Texans defensive lights out,
Speaker 4: but Chiefs at home got to absolutely have it. I
Speaker 4: think they work some voodoo. However, that looks like I'm
Speaker 4: going Chiefs.
Speaker 5: I'm taking the Chiefs.
Speaker 2: Okay, Eagles, the Chargers. Can the Chargers help the Cowboys out?
