Speaker 1: The following. He's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club Cowboys. This He's Talking Cowboys,
Speaker 1: screening live from the Dallas Cowboys World How Hours at
Speaker 1: the Star in Frisco, and now your hosts Isaiah stand Back,
Speaker 1: Patrick Walker, and Kyle Yeomans. It is a Thursday edition
Speaker 1: of Talking Cowboys presented by Black Rifle Coffee Company, the
Speaker 1: official coffee of the Dallas Cowboys and officially the official
Speaker 1: coffee of Isaiah Standback because it's the only coffee he'll drink.
Speaker 1: But you needed a little extra shot this morning of espresso,
Speaker 1: the Espresso Moca. Take it to the head. But it's
Speaker 1: good though for coffee and rise to taste butts. I
Speaker 1: liked it a lot. I went through. It got me
Speaker 1: through my whole day yesterday. This is let listen to
Speaker 1: this says a whole heck of a lot. I am
Speaker 1: not a coffee guy. You were not. I am not,
Speaker 1: and I am from Seattle, So that says a whole
Speaker 1: heck of a lot. It means you're piky, very pick picky.
Speaker 1: And this right here is it slapping slapping. I'll tell
Speaker 1: you what. Let yo, that's good. I can do that.
Speaker 1: There you go, I can do that. There you go,
Speaker 1: all so smooth. I like this. I like the vocals. Okay,
Speaker 1: you know what movie that's room got? Now don't Oh
Speaker 1: what is it? It's coming to him? Oh I've seen that.
Speaker 1: I just don't know that. You don't know. The soul glow.
Speaker 1: That's how he looks, soul glow. Chris is love well. Sorry,
Speaker 1: Beamer is in the back like audio mixing, trying to
Speaker 1: make sure everything sounds good. But like I just said,
Speaker 1: Chris Beam in the back, Isaiah stand back, all hyped
Speaker 1: up on this espresso. We've got Patrick no C. Walker
Speaker 1: about to give us news and notes IM Kyle Yeoman's
Speaker 1: Cowboys taking on the Packers here in Week ten of
Speaker 1: the NFL season. And the Packers of course, at three
Speaker 1: and six, it's been at this appointing year for them
Speaker 1: so far. The Cowboys at six and two and overachieving
Speaker 1: year for them for most that would have thought at
Speaker 1: this point in the season they would be six and two.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get into news and notes though, because
Speaker 1: we are previewing the Cowboys offense today versus the Packers defense.
Speaker 1: That's Patrick's X factor matchup. It is but I want
Speaker 1: to get to news and notes first so we can
Speaker 1: get right into absolutely. So let's let's hit them with
Speaker 1: the WW already, what would Rob do? Yes, Sir shuts
Speaker 1: out to Rob Phillips, the island. We have quite a
Speaker 1: bit actually, so let's leave with Ezekiel Elliott. All signs
Speaker 1: continue to point to go for Ezekiel Elliott. However, Ezekiel
Speaker 1: Elliott himself, when asked yesterday if he was ready for
Speaker 1: Sunday's matchup, ready to return for Sunday's matchup against the Packers,
Speaker 1: he said, quote unquote, I don't know yet. I don't
Speaker 1: know if that's gamesmanship or you know, and or you know.
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy having looked at him and said, you know
Speaker 1: what you you know, you better not be the one
Speaker 1: that puts that out there that you will be out there.
Speaker 1: Let Green Bay try to figure out if you will
Speaker 1: be in Like I said, gamesmanship, because on Tuesday, which
Speaker 1: would have been the second time that Jerry Jones said
Speaker 1: he expects Ezekiel Ellie to be out there, Yesterday in
Speaker 1: the press conference, head coach Bright McCarthy said he's doing
Speaker 1: very well, he looks good. He said he would return
Speaker 1: to practice he did return to practice. He said that
Speaker 1: his workloading practice would be managed. It was, but he
Speaker 1: got a good bit of reps as well. So physically
Speaker 1: and all things consider, it looks like Ezekiel Elliott is
Speaker 1: still on track. But again he himself said, I don't know,
Speaker 1: take that as gamesmanship or whatever you would like. We
Speaker 1: will see how Thursday, Friday, and then of course Saturday
Speaker 1: goes before the flight out. Some good news, Malie Hooker
Speaker 1: and Sam Williams are both back to practice and they
Speaker 1: were both full participants in Frindae. So he's huge for
Speaker 1: getting after Aaron Rodd. Just like we talked about yesterday,
Speaker 1: Massive massive Massive Noah Brown, who was inactive with a
Speaker 1: foot injury against the Chicago Bears by week, did him
Speaker 1: some good. He was back in practice yesterday as well.
Speaker 1: I'll be limited, but he was back in practice. Donovan
Speaker 1: Wilson was limited but with eight what was listed as
Speaker 1: a tooth issue, So maybe a toothache, maybe had a
Speaker 1: tooth extraction, whatever the case may be. Physically as far
Speaker 1: as football ability and football health, I should say he's good.
Speaker 1: Something happened with the tooth though, but he was still
Speaker 1: like practice. And Anthony Barr did not practice, which was
Speaker 1: expected based upon what McCarthy said in his press conference
Speaker 1: was that at best bar would be limited on Wednesday,
Speaker 1: but there's a good chance he'd stick with Britt Brown
Speaker 1: and just do rehab work on that hamstring. So we
Speaker 1: might see more of Damon Clark than anticipated, depending on
Speaker 1: how the week progresses. For Anthony Barr. Last, but not least,
Speaker 1: James Washington will get another week before he sees his
Speaker 1: twenty one day window activated from ir Arthy explains it
Speaker 1: as not any physical setback. McCarthy just doesn't like how
Speaker 1: the schedule is set up as far as three games
Speaker 1: in twelve days and the practice schedule in between those days.
Speaker 1: He says it's not an optimal time to try to
Speaker 1: drop a guy in off of IRUM, so take that
Speaker 1: how you will. But again he says there's no physical
Speaker 1: setback on James Washington. I'm just going to see how
Speaker 1: that goes, which kind of segues to the other guy
Speaker 1: that's outside the building, which is the obj Zeke and
Speaker 1: Parsons both hit the campaign trail. Zeke enjoys today. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: well yeah, they're appounding stumps for for obj Zeke said specifically,
Speaker 1: we want him, We want ob j end quote. Michael
Speaker 1: Parsons said, uh, you want to win. Quote you want
Speaker 1: to win, sugar honey, blank blank, I want to win too,
Speaker 1: Come over here and help us get to this bowl.
Speaker 1: End quote. So now you have Cole Boys players, franchise players,
Speaker 1: cornerstone players lobbying for OBJ, and Dak would talk today,
Speaker 1: rack in CD Dad talk today, You don't think so.
Speaker 1: He'll probably talk him up and say maybe the most
Speaker 1: political Sea university. Yeah, hey, OBJ is a great player,
Speaker 1: but hey, we don't make those rules. We don't have
Speaker 1: that kind of leeway. Yeah, we're going to focus on
Speaker 1: who we are as a team and we're going to
Speaker 1: get better in the locker room. That's what it will
Speaker 1: look like today. But the fact that even Zeke, Zeke's
Speaker 1: usually quiet, pretty quiet about that stuff too yesterday Mica
Speaker 1: not so much. Mica likes to talk about stuff that
Speaker 1: happens outside of the building, but Zeke, on the other hand,
Speaker 1: will most of the time refrain to comment on any
Speaker 1: of that kind of stuff. So the fact that he
Speaker 1: said it yesterday certainly perked my interest. It's like, oh, Okay,
Speaker 1: maybe this isn't just fans that are talking about this.
Speaker 1: Maybe this is a wide range conversation. Um, very interesting.
Speaker 1: Is that a bad thing to have offensive players commenting
Speaker 1: and saying we need help on offense, especially a cornerstone,
Speaker 1: a cornerstone guy like Zeke. Did he say we need help?
Speaker 1: I mean, but he's asking for ye, I mean, you
Speaker 1: just I mean it goes to the conversation that we
Speaker 1: had earlier this week where I was just saying my
Speaker 1: disappointment in the in this organization not making the move
Speaker 1: with the trade deadline. Right, it's just that extra as
Speaker 1: an offense as a team. And let me thinking about defensively,
Speaker 1: those guys know that there's three rotations of defensive alignment.
Speaker 1: Like that that confidence that you have not even only
Speaker 1: just in yourself, but in your unit when you approach
Speaker 1: the game and you know that that offensive line stands
Speaker 1: zero chance. You know, if they're in a passing situation,
Speaker 1: they it doesn't matter who's out there, these boys gonna
Speaker 1: get that work. Like that gives your unit a whole
Speaker 1: different confidence level, That gives your unit a whole different swag.
Speaker 1: So offensively, no different in somebody than they like the
Speaker 1: Kansas Cities of the worlds over the past years. And
Speaker 1: now you think about like the miamis what they keep
Speaker 1: doing in terms of adding to their offense. When you
Speaker 1: know that you have that much firepower, like, make make
Speaker 1: a decision, Make a decision, because the more are weapons
Speaker 1: we have offensively, the less good personnel that you can
Speaker 1: put on me. Right, you know what you think about, Zeke?
Speaker 1: If I'm out there and we have eleven personnel and
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, every single one of my receivers
Speaker 1: are absolute goons, right, and then I have a solid
Speaker 1: tight end or a couple of tight ends or whatever,
Speaker 1: however many tight ends they want to use. Who are
Speaker 1: you leaving in the box with me? Who are you
Speaker 1: leaving here with me? Hopes and dreams? Yeah, so like
Speaker 1: we want weapons, please, the more weapons we have, the
Speaker 1: more guys that you have to spread out and go guard,
Speaker 1: spread out there, go out there with those guys, and
Speaker 1: you deal with me in this box. I agree. That's
Speaker 1: exactly what I believe Ezekiel Elie is saying. He was
Speaker 1: careful not to say need because I think he understands
Speaker 1: they don't need OBJ a team like the Packers need Obje,
Speaker 1: a team that the Cowboys wants OBJ. And that's what
Speaker 1: Ezekiel saying here's here's his actual quote quote. We know
Speaker 1: the type of player Odell is, We know how explosive
Speaker 1: he can be and what he can be for this offense.
Speaker 1: It'd be great to get him down here in Dallas.
Speaker 1: Another weapon in our repertoire. We want him. So you
Speaker 1: take that exactly at face value. He's saying exactly what
Speaker 1: Isaiah is saying. We want our cup to over overflow,
Speaker 1: runneth over. We want it to run it over. Our
Speaker 1: cup runneth over the book. Right, much like on defense
Speaker 1: they have that luxury. Offense doesn't have this moment. So
Speaker 1: offense they want, you know, our cup runneth over. Let's
Speaker 1: take it to the good book. That's what Ezekiel wants,
Speaker 1: and that's what Michael Parsons wants for the offense, because
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons also wants the offense to be able to
Speaker 1: match serve personnel wise with what the defense brings up
Speaker 1: the table because you don't know who to attack on defense,
Speaker 1: who the scheme for, because you got a scheme for everybody.
Speaker 1: Offense would can help the people real quick help the
Speaker 1: help right now, you just admit it. Defense, our cup
Speaker 1: running over run it's running over. Okay, even though we
Speaker 1: lost one one dB Okay, we have another one steps up,
Speaker 1: but our overall, our cup runneth over. Right, if you
Speaker 1: have a cup runneth over, okay on offense as well,
Speaker 1: or rifles help me out this morning. If you have
Speaker 1: a cup running over on offense as well, know what,
Speaker 1: that's two thirds of the game, right, huh. Automatically your
Speaker 1: special teams now running over because now you have guys
Speaker 1: that aren't playing as many snaps on offense and defense,
Speaker 1: and they're more available to help out on special teams.
Speaker 1: So guys that typically wouldn't play on special teams now
Speaker 1: are accessible, and therefore you have a better special teams unit.
Speaker 1: That means that you're one cup now soon turns into
Speaker 1: three cups runneth over. And then we got number waterfall,
Speaker 1: triple Cup, the triple cup, triple cup kind of like
Speaker 1: the two milligrams. By the way, your eyes are popping
Speaker 1: right now to come out a little that's good right now? Hit,
Speaker 1: I want three cups running over, three coffee cups. Three
Speaker 1: coffee cups. Cool. You ever seen somebody sit down with
Speaker 1: three coffee cups? You know they're ready for game day?
Speaker 1: Either that or a cardiac comfraction exactly, man, Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: too yeah straight. You can see the shirt moving as
Speaker 1: they sit still. Just do I think this is the
Speaker 1: third straight day we've started the show early, a first
Speaker 1: portion of the show and spent some time on Odell
Speaker 1: Beckham Junior. We've spent some time on OBJ. And it's
Speaker 1: funny because there's multiple headlines on Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: right now about ob J. So the stories are bitten
Speaker 1: being written even in the building. Outside of the building,
Speaker 1: that's always going to happen. If there's a free agent,
Speaker 1: they're gonna write about it. It doesn't always leak into
Speaker 1: the Star. Dallas Cowboys dot Com doesn't always talk about
Speaker 1: free agent possibilities. But here's the thing. The front office
Speaker 1: and the players keep talking about it, right so it's
Speaker 1: a conversation until they stop talking about it, and it's
Speaker 1: continuously a conversation. At this point in time, it might
Speaker 1: be one of the things we'd start the show with
Speaker 1: tomorrow because Dak may say something or he may not
Speaker 1: say something. Who knows. And then the same thing with
Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb if he talks today as well. So on
Speaker 1: the dot com, I had to liven o'clock shameless plug.
Speaker 1: The Science Lab will dive deep into all facets of
Speaker 1: why the Cowboys should or should not sign OBJ, what
Speaker 1: they should take into consideration. So coming at eleven o'clock.
Speaker 1: So to Cow's point, we're talking about it because it's
Speaker 1: it's viable and people inside of the building, they're on
Speaker 1: the campaign. It's a thing. It is absolutely a thing.
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about the Cowboys offense versus the
Speaker 1: Packers defense. Patrick said it earlier in the week, and
Speaker 1: he said he was gonna save it. It's gonna save it.
Speaker 1: There's a Science Lab of the article coming about OBJ.
Speaker 1: Forget that, and I'm just kidding. I don't forget that.
Speaker 1: Go read it, Go read it, Go read it. However,
Speaker 1: this is some science too. It is based on the
Speaker 1: fact that you've got an X factor matchup. This is
Speaker 1: how the Cowboys are gonna win or lose this game.
Speaker 1: I believe so, and I believe that defense is going
Speaker 1: to do what they do. And you temper that a
Speaker 1: little bit with I believe Aaron Rodgers is I don't
Speaker 1: believe Aaron Rodgers is going to have two trash games
Speaker 1: in a row. I said that on yesterday, So they
Speaker 1: might have their hands full a little bit in that capacity,
Speaker 1: but for me, I'm looking squarely at Deak Prescott and
Speaker 1: this offense. We talked a little bit in News and
Speaker 1: Notes about Ezekiel Elliott. Again all signs point to him
Speaker 1: being available, but he said he doesn't know yet, So
Speaker 1: question mark there until there's not a question mark there.
Speaker 1: And what travels well, I say, a defense in the
Speaker 1: run game if you're kind of if you're down your
Speaker 1: franchise running back, and Tony Potter is going to have
Speaker 1: to take another week of starting reps. He's going to
Speaker 1: have to do it in what looks to be thirty
Speaker 1: degree whether maybe a little bit colder because the temperature
Speaker 1: isn't supposed to fall off of the cliff in the
Speaker 1: next couple of days up in Green Bay, Dallas, right,
Speaker 1: So you would hope Ezekiel Elliott is on the field
Speaker 1: for that. So they can, you know, reunion, there's a
Speaker 1: reunion of the tandem. But I would love to see
Speaker 1: and I need to see Dak Prescott and this wide
Speaker 1: receiver corps continue their upward trajectory that you saw start
Speaker 1: to take hold in the second half against the Lions
Speaker 1: really helped him jump out to a fast lead a
Speaker 1: fast start on the Chicago Bears because they're going to
Speaker 1: need to get a fast start against a Packers defense
Speaker 1: that's better than the Bears and better than the Lions. Now,
Speaker 1: does that mean they're a world beaters. No, but they
Speaker 1: haven't allowed more than twenty seven points yet this season
Speaker 1: and have only allowed twenty seven points on three occasions.
Speaker 1: They're fifteenth in the league, so they're about par. So
Speaker 1: they're not compost. They're not even bad. There you could
Speaker 1: you could argue they're good. But here's the here's the thing.
Speaker 1: They lose Rashaan Gary, major team leader in sex six
Speaker 1: sacks gone off the table, third ranked in the NFL
Speaker 1: as far as pressures on the quarterback gone. He's on
Speaker 1: IR now. He was on the injury report yesterday. I
Speaker 1: don't expect that he will be to day because he's
Speaker 1: on IR. But let me go down. Their injury report
Speaker 1: looks like a mass unit. Let's talk about there. Oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, she's not wrong about that. I looked at
Speaker 1: it yesterday and it's just DMP, dmpd DMP all the
Speaker 1: way through. And we'll we'll focus on the defensive players
Speaker 1: on this part. Chris Barnes, linebacker, rotational, but he's still
Speaker 1: in concussion protocol. He did not practice. Devandre Campbell dealing
Speaker 1: with a knee issue, did not practice. That's a starter, okay.
Speaker 1: Rassue Douglass dealing with a calf issue. Corner back, he
Speaker 1: was limited yesterday. We talked about Rashaun Garry. Let's see
Speaker 1: Shamar Jean Charles ankle did not practice on yesterday. Who
Speaker 1: else we got? Preston Smith oh neck issue, was limited
Speaker 1: in practice. Eric Stokes ankle and need did not practice.
Speaker 1: It looks like he's going to be out for several weeks.
Speaker 1: These most of those players are just named are supposed
Speaker 1: to be and our impact guys for the Packers. So
Speaker 1: if they were par good enough to be average, you
Speaker 1: lose key players, and or you have other players that
Speaker 1: are dealing with major injuries who may or may not play,
Speaker 1: and if they play, they may be well below one percent.
Speaker 1: This is a situation Dak Prescott and the Cowboys need
Speaker 1: to take advantage of get out on a fast start.
Speaker 1: That's only going to help your defense, only gonna help
Speaker 1: your special teams, and it's really going to force the
Speaker 1: game onto Aaron Rodgers, which is like we said yesterday,
Speaker 1: this is one of the few times you actually want
Speaker 1: him to throw more than forty times. You're daring him
Speaker 1: to do it. You don't want a Jones looks like
Speaker 1: he'll play, but you don't want that game to be
Speaker 1: close enough where the Packers running game matters because you're
Speaker 1: still trying to figure out you run defense. I want
Speaker 1: Dallas to run the ball, Fellers, and I think Dallas
Speaker 1: can run the ball. It's cold, it's gonna be frigid,
Speaker 1: fridgid out there, and when it's fridgid, you typically want
Speaker 1: to keep the ball on the grounds. Things of brick,
Speaker 1: trying to catch as many troubles as we've had defending
Speaker 1: the run, they've had more. Yes, yeah, the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 1: As I look at this list, it's twenty fourth in
Speaker 1: the league and stopping the run. It's not good. Twenty
Speaker 1: four out of thirty two. It's not good now, But
Speaker 1: you know who's worse green Bay Green Bay Packers. Green
Speaker 1: Bay Packers are twenty six in the league and stopping
Speaker 1: the run. They are averaging one hundred and thirty eight
Speaker 1: yards per game, and over the last three games are
Speaker 1: averaging one hundred and forty five yards given up per gaming.
Speaker 1: Do you know how many yards are giving up at home?
Speaker 1: Kyle More one hundred and seventy five yards on the
Speaker 1: ground at home on average, on average, one hundred and
Speaker 1: seven hundred and seventy five. Don't disrespect the five cots. Okay,
Speaker 1: So if there was going to be a plan of attack,
Speaker 1: I say watch the Film Room and watch special Edition
Speaker 1: number one, and we will help you guys understand. Asbody
Speaker 1: get the plugs today. Yeah, I just help you understand,
Speaker 1: especially Film Room, especially film you're a big fan of basketball,
Speaker 1: watch us this weekend Ballet Spot Southwest. I've got the broadcast,
Speaker 1: so you know, just throwing in their throbody was at
Speaker 1: the bar yesterday and the yused to be pictures of
Speaker 1: us on hit sticks. It was pretty cool. Hey, you
Speaker 1: were at the bar attack? No, I definitely was. It
Speaker 1: attacked the ground that way these guys, and we'll again
Speaker 1: we'll see this on his on his but on on
Speaker 1: Film Room. They run three down for the most part. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and they run they and they have stand up defensive
Speaker 1: ends primarily that's their base set. Three down. Big boys
Speaker 1: in the middle. Okay, big boys in the middle. They
Speaker 1: think they can clog things up with their three interior guys,
Speaker 1: and then they have ye nine techniques that are usually
Speaker 1: standing up. The last time we face this type of
Speaker 1: d defense up front Los Angeles Rams, ooh, how do
Speaker 1: we do against them? Ran the football quite well against them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I got the dub and ran the ball very freaking well,
Speaker 1: he said Winston eat the dub. TP had had the
Speaker 1: longest play from scrimmage right in terms of on the
Speaker 1: ground this year in that game, Big Boy run, and
Speaker 1: a lot of that came because of the fact that
Speaker 1: the interior offensive line was able to handle the interior
Speaker 1: defensive line of the Rams at that point in time.
Speaker 1: They were able to get Donald just out the way
Speaker 1: enough to be able to run tope this thing around.
Speaker 1: And those defensive ends that are standing up like to
Speaker 1: go outside because they their job primarily throughout most of
Speaker 1: the game is to contain, contain, contain, contain well when
Speaker 1: your job is already to contain as an offensive tackle
Speaker 1: or as a tight end. Now you've made my job
Speaker 1: that much easier because now I understand that primarily most
Speaker 1: of the time, you're gonna go to one side of
Speaker 1: my body. If you're going to one side of my body,
Speaker 1: it's easy to scheme up run plays that then in
Speaker 1: turn help you go ahead and migrate in the direction
Speaker 1: that you're trying to go, which didn't turn. If I
Speaker 1: can get my interior offensive alignment to then shield off
Speaker 1: and wall off those interior defensive alignment, there is a
Speaker 1: huge hole whichever direction I want to go. And then
Speaker 1: when you have an eleven personnel and you get your
Speaker 1: guys like Noah Brown back, So now you have a
Speaker 1: CD lamp Michael gallup, Noah Brown, and then you have
Speaker 1: a Scholtz or a hinder Shot or ferguson whoever else
Speaker 1: you want to throw in there. All right, mum, what's
Speaker 1: the fourth one? M sho mckewen. Okay, you have those
Speaker 1: guys at a tight end position. Now you're spreading this
Speaker 1: defense out. So if I'm spreading this defensive out and
Speaker 1: I already have these ends that are standing up and outside,
Speaker 1: who's in the freaking middle of the offensive other defensive line? Oh,
Speaker 1: there's not much second level support. So if you can
Speaker 1: take care of those first five guys on the front line,
Speaker 1: there is hardly any support at the second level. And
Speaker 1: if your receivers are willing and capable to go out
Speaker 1: there and block in the secondary there now, run support
Speaker 1: is now neutralized one and you have huge running gaps
Speaker 1: in running lanes to be able to take advantage of.
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to Dallas destroying this defensive front of
Speaker 1: the Green eight Packers, especially with their number one pass rush.
Speaker 1: You're gone. I don't even want to have to say
Speaker 1: that we have to even throw the ball much this game.
Speaker 1: It should be a ground. I'm looking forward to seeing
Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy five yards like they give up
Speaker 1: on average at home. I'm looking forward to seeing Dallas
Speaker 1: put up at least one seventy five on the ground.
Speaker 1: I'm leaning towards two hundred. But so nor do you
Speaker 1: want to have to throw the ball, especially in those
Speaker 1: frigid temperatures, because, as you know, trying to catch a
Speaker 1: ball in those temps, that's a brick, that's that thing
Speaker 1: burns on impact. But the thing is, to your point,
Speaker 1: the Packers defense is similar in their strength and weakness
Speaker 1: to the Cowboys defense, but they're not as good in
Speaker 1: either of those categories. So bually they're better in terms
Speaker 1: of stop in the past. No, that's what I was
Speaker 1: going to go to. But they don't take the ball away.
Speaker 1: That's what I mean. They don't get the ball away
Speaker 1: as well as the Cowboys secondary does, so they're not
Speaker 1: forcing fumbles. They're not getting you know, interceptions as far
Speaker 1: as the backs and the safeties are concerned. So they
Speaker 1: cover will but they don't take the ball away as well.
Speaker 1: They don't have run defense as you mentioned. So the
Speaker 1: formula is right there for you, and it's not so coincidentally.
Speaker 1: It's the same formula that you should adhere to each week,
Speaker 1: which is stick to the run, but especially now freezing
Speaker 1: temperatures on the road, hostile territory, hand the ball off
Speaker 1: and then guess what that sets up in Isaiah's gonna
Speaker 1: love this the play enough with the trick plays Kellen,
Speaker 1: run the dang ball, run the ball now, uh La
Speaker 1: that front you mentioned, I was curious to see, like
Speaker 1: what their numbers were in certain in terms of stopping
Speaker 1: the run. Dallas ran for one sixty three on the
Speaker 1: rams in week five, and a very similar front, but
Speaker 1: a front that could actually stop the run. They're fourth
Speaker 1: in the NFL right now with allowing only ninety eight
Speaker 1: rushing arts per game. So a similar front. Dallas dissected it,
Speaker 1: sliced it right up and now you're playing a team
Speaker 1: that runs a very similar scheme defensively and they can't
Speaker 1: stop the run, so you might as well run for
Speaker 1: two hundred. I need that two hundred. I'm calling it
Speaker 1: two hundred. I need one. Hey, I need one seventy five.
Speaker 1: I want two hundred. I'm saying it with my chest
Speaker 1: a day early. Get Dallas Cowboys are going to get
Speaker 1: one seventy five, and I want them to get two hundred.
Speaker 1: On the ground, I'm trying to on the ground. I'm
Speaker 1: trying to push you too. Yeah, no, no no, no, no,
Speaker 1: I want I want Dakota Prescott to throw for one
Speaker 1: forty five, and I want for Zeke and TP to
Speaker 1: rush for over two hundred. That was very similar to
Speaker 1: the stat line, very similar to the stat line the
Speaker 1: Cooper rush had against the Rams. He had one out
Speaker 1: two and he only threw it sixteen times. Did it work?
Speaker 1: Ten for sixteen one o two? Did it work? It worked?
Speaker 1: So when we come back, what does dak Prescott need
Speaker 1: to do to increase the confidence in the passing game
Speaker 1: moving forward? Or is this just all run, run, run,
Speaker 1: baby run when we come back. Here On Talking Cowboys

Speaker 1: around a lot of coffee, a lot a lot of
Speaker 1: coffee in my life, and as many chimes about tried it.
Speaker 1: It's just in this time, I am like, they got you,
Speaker 1: red lining right now, they got me. But it's good.
Speaker 1: It is good. I liked it a lot yesterday whenever
Speaker 1: I had it. Yeah, but you're a coffee drinker, so
Speaker 1: like it surprised me that much, but like I'm not,
Speaker 1: and I typically hate coffee. I'm sorry, I'm no disrespect
Speaker 1: but like this, I'll drink this. By the way, nobody's
Speaker 1: paying us extra to talk about not to promise you.
Speaker 1: I guarantee you. The only time we've ever really talked
Speaker 1: about this about a sponsor was when we had the
Speaker 1: glasses the first time that we're awesome, and then now this,
Speaker 1: this is the second time we've ever really hit a
Speaker 1: product like this. So yeah, Patrick, we're selling, We're selling,
Speaker 1: touching up untied market right now. I'm still not a
Speaker 1: coffee guy, dude, try this. No drives one of those two.
Speaker 1: He's not a coffee guy either. He just did it.
Speaker 1: I'm not a kid and I'm not coffee sitting here
Speaker 1: watching his eyes fall out onto his cheek bones. Doesn't
Speaker 1: that sound great? Out of the don't that sound cheek
Speaker 1: bones right now? And speaking go? I love it. I
Speaker 1: mean I used to be prom king load my refrigerator.
Speaker 1: All right, let's go, all right, TDS ready to drinks.
Speaker 1: You think you think Dak Prescott hyped up on his
Speaker 1: coffee this week? He better be all jacked up on
Speaker 1: Black Rifle Coffee Company because he has a game to
Speaker 1: go out there and win. Yeah, yep, do you think
Speaker 1: he throws for less than twenty attempts this week? I
Speaker 1: think it's possible. Kellen Moore would never allow that here. Okay,
Speaker 1: less than twenty five, I think twenty four. Okay, what
Speaker 1: do you think? I'll go with twenty five? And I
Speaker 1: think that this is going against a run defenses. Pors
Speaker 1: is this? I think this is a perfect week to
Speaker 1: see some misssip state. Yeah, a little bit of read option.
Speaker 1: We saw that against the Bearers and that you know
Speaker 1: that was it the second touchdown drive. Yeah, second touchdown
Speaker 1: drive for Dak Prescott. So we got some RPO jumping
Speaker 1: off here in Dallas. Again, you're going against one of
Speaker 1: the worst defenses in the league as far as stopping
Speaker 1: the run, why not joined Tony Poll and hopefully Ezekiel
Speaker 1: l and you know, using those legs, they're one of
Speaker 1: the best. That's stopping the past too. Like I mentioned
Speaker 1: in that last segment and Patrick alluded to it as well.
Speaker 1: But they're sixth in the league in terms of passing
Speaker 1: yards allowed per game per game. They thankfully for the Cowboys,
Speaker 1: they don't take the ball away much, but they do
Speaker 1: come well. And I mean, in speaking of takeaway, he's
Speaker 1: got to keep an eye out on on quay Walker
Speaker 1: gold Dogs h. He has two forced fumbles back there
Speaker 1: in the linebacker corps, so if he gets near you took.
Speaker 1: Did they have anybody else back there? Though? Is there
Speaker 1: anybody else that's really scary on the back side of
Speaker 1: that defense? I mean, I'm looking at these names, and
Speaker 1: I remember some of these guys from the draft show
Speaker 1: some respect. Alexander's name, Yeah, Alexander on the corner phenomenal.
Speaker 1: I think Jayar Alexander is really really recording his name.
Speaker 1: And Darnell Savage back there, and to say, heck of
Speaker 1: a name, and he has a safety too. It's appropriate, Darnell.
Speaker 1: Didn't they just who? They just they just claimed uh,
Speaker 1: no one. I'll take that best. Yeah, they did just
Speaker 1: claimed diab Now that's interesting. I'm glad you brought it
Speaker 1: up because it'll be interesting to see if Abram is
Speaker 1: on the field this Sunday. They claimed him yesterday after
Speaker 1: he was released by the Raiders. And and I say
Speaker 1: this having been high on Abram coming out of the draft,
Speaker 1: but he was He had a similar skill set to
Speaker 1: Donovan Wilson here in Dallas, except Donovan's trajectory has been
Speaker 1: refined greatly by being coached by Dan Quinn and Al Harrison,
Speaker 1: those guys, Whereas Jonathan Abram is as raw as he
Speaker 1: was going into the draft that year. So I actually
Speaker 1: hope that he plays for the Packers because in coverage,
Speaker 1: we'll talk about how well they coverage. In coverage, he's
Speaker 1: a liability and even as a run stopper, when you
Speaker 1: drop him down into the box and ask him to
Speaker 1: stop the run, he consistently over pursues consistently. So Packers,
Speaker 1: if you're listening, Uh, it's a great week to get
Speaker 1: Jonathan Abram mixed in. Go ahead, do it, do it?
Speaker 1: Do it? Do it? Do it? Would you not do it? Well?
Speaker 1: You know he'll be on teams, yeah, because his former
Speaker 1: head coach is the special teams coordinator. Do it good point.
Speaker 1: They got a whole week to prep. The Cowboys traded
Speaker 1: for Hankins and had him on the field. Is it
Speaker 1: different for a defensive tackle though, where your job is
Speaker 1: to take up multiple gaps, eat up space, and run forward.
Speaker 1: Whereas safety safety, you've got a lot more to think about.
Speaker 1: You literally go to the right, and he's not a
Speaker 1: free he's a strong so it's not much different, same, same,
Speaker 1: same concept. They put him on the field and say, hey,
Speaker 1: you're out there to help us with run support. Ye
Speaker 1: out there to help kind of seal, to teach you
Speaker 1: a couple of signals combos man on like it's a
Speaker 1: hand full of signals. He doesn't have to know the scheme.
Speaker 1: All he has to do is be when they call it. Okay,
Speaker 1: be near that guy with the dot on his helmet,
Speaker 1: and he'll tell him this is what you got. Cool.
Speaker 1: I'm curious, just because of this conversation, what's the hardest
Speaker 1: defensive position for a player to get into a new
Speaker 1: situation than immediately you don't have to. I was just
Speaker 1: about to say, my middle it's Mike. It's Mike. I
Speaker 1: was thinking linebacker too, at any level, but Mike specifically specifically, Yeah,
Speaker 1: because you a lot of times you are the green dot.
Speaker 1: You're responsible, you are the green doctor. You're the one
Speaker 1: relaying you know, the play calls from the coordinator to
Speaker 1: the to the unit and everything, and you have to
Speaker 1: be equally responsible and accountable for your pre snap reads
Speaker 1: and how you react because if you make the wrong
Speaker 1: decision and you leave the middle of that field wide
Speaker 1: open and consistently team's gonna pay for it, so Mike.
Speaker 1: For me, it's got to be Mike. It's definitely Mike. Okay,
Speaker 1: just curious about it. So with all of that being said,
Speaker 1: and we've kind of mentioned this previously about the running
Speaker 1: ability of Dak Prescott and how he could use his legs,
Speaker 1: there's a good contingency of people out there that want
Speaker 1: him to save that for later, save it for when
Speaker 1: it matters. You run now when you really need to,
Speaker 1: but then wait later. On what I'm not saying, I
Speaker 1: believe this. Don't listen, don't look at me like what
Speaker 1: you don't think. So there are people out there that
Speaker 1: don't want Dak Prescott the rival ball get it. And
Speaker 1: because there's a lot of people out there that don't
Speaker 1: want to, they want him to take the Tyler Lockett approach.
Speaker 1: Just freaking dive in a grenade every time, the balls
Speaker 1: in your hand, protect yourself, protect your body. Don't have
Speaker 1: any exactly remotely close to what happened. Huh. I'm fine
Speaker 1: with him. Pretty when you see when you see green,
Speaker 1: the green this is we talked about Batman see, but
Speaker 1: we talked about that's not necessarily and Josh Allen sees
Speaker 1: Green takes Green correct. I'm not necessarily saying that. I'm saying, yes,
Speaker 1: you can run the football when there's an open space.
Speaker 1: He did it against Chicago, He's done it throughout, but
Speaker 1: designed runs on the read options and the RPOs. Save
Speaker 1: that for later, right, why, I mean to maybe keep
Speaker 1: it as an undeveloped part of your an uncovered part
Speaker 1: of your game. Change keep that, keep that bag a
Speaker 1: little bit fuller going into off. They have they have
Speaker 1: something good one, but they have they already have something
Speaker 1: in their bag. They haven't exposed it, which is Cavante
Speaker 1: Turpin's section of plays in the playbook that has yet
Speaker 1: to be exposed. I don't know about that. That's not okay.
Speaker 1: I don't know about that. That's not a shown time
Speaker 1: he's in the game. Who's getting the ball? Yeah, but
Speaker 1: what is he getting the ball on sweeps? Okay? About
Speaker 1: it goes to my point, Yeah, I guarantee you him crack.
Speaker 1: There's more than who plays down and I want to
Speaker 1: see him crack. Back to say, I'm just saying there's
Speaker 1: more than two players in the Turpin set. Agree, I
Speaker 1: think I understand the one you sit on unless and
Speaker 1: I say this, that's the one you sit on unless
Speaker 1: you have to because you don't want to put that
Speaker 1: on film. But you know Dak using his legs RPOs.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying go full RPO crazy, but if you
Speaker 1: get him three or four RPOs in a game, that's
Speaker 1: enough to keep the opposing defense off balance and not
Speaker 1: enough for teams to consistently scheme against it. And honestly,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be mad if they had to scheme against it.
Speaker 1: This is one more thing for them to have to
Speaker 1: worry about. Okay, what are you thinking. I don't have
Speaker 1: a problem to miss. I don't have a problem with
Speaker 1: RPO because Aaron Rodgers runs more RPO than probably anybody. Right,
Speaker 1: it's the he's just run exactly right. Run pass option
Speaker 1: does not mean a quarterback has to pass. So it's
Speaker 1: a run pass option. Okay, so it's a running player
Speaker 1: that I capped it all or I can throw it right.
Speaker 1: When you started talking about Philadelphia and Baltimore, that's a
Speaker 1: different version of the RPO, which is heavily leaned on
Speaker 1: on exactly right. So that's a quarterback running it should
Speaker 1: be q q R. I understand people's hesitation, and I
Speaker 1: get people's restraint in terms of them not wanting to
Speaker 1: expose Dak Prescott to potentially being injured in a situation
Speaker 1: that's avoidable. Why why put him in a position of
Speaker 1: harm when you could have you have two running backs
Speaker 1: that do that right, like like you have other guys
Speaker 1: that can do it. I get it. Sometimes you slide,
Speaker 1: but last time, you know, he got tackled in open
Speaker 1: field like that. Things didn't necessarily go his way. So
Speaker 1: I get it. I'm with you people. I think that
Speaker 1: you have to keep it as a curveball. I think
Speaker 1: you use it as a curb I think as a
Speaker 1: as curveball, as a change up. It's a slider or
Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it, but it's a little
Speaker 1: one that you sneak in there. Every so often you
Speaker 1: get down in the reds under the black zone and
Speaker 1: you need to your little play action. Tell him to
Speaker 1: keep it right, you tell him in his headset, he
Speaker 1: called to play the same. My coaches do this in college. Hey,
Speaker 1: this is a play call. You know, this is a
Speaker 1: typical run. Keep it nobody needs to know. Keep it right.
Speaker 1: Boot out of that thing and running to the dog
Speaker 1: in corner of the end zone. If you if you
Speaker 1: somebody's sitting there. Wait, now you slide, get down. We'll
Speaker 1: live with with the negative play. I think you have
Speaker 1: to have those in there from time to time. But
Speaker 1: in terms of him running design runs, I don't want
Speaker 1: to see more than five design runs plays for set
Speaker 1: it three or four. Yeah, yeah, so three or four.
Speaker 1: I'm with that. I'm with that out of out of
Speaker 1: if I run sixty plays on the offensive day, three
Speaker 1: players for Dak cool five, you're pushing it. You're pushing it.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't even go to faust. Okay, yeah, exactly, three
Speaker 1: to four. That's where I would keep it at. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's why I keep it out But you have to
Speaker 1: have those plays in there because you have to make
Speaker 1: the defenses respect him still being Yeah, keep it in mind, Geo,
Speaker 1: keep it in mind moving forward, because it certainly could
Speaker 1: be something that the Cowboys maybe unveil more and more
Speaker 1: as the season goes along, and maybe he gets more
Speaker 1: comfortable running football a little bit. It's like you, just
Speaker 1: like you, you know, color commentating car you know you
Speaker 1: sometimes you get into boobs and let people know what
Speaker 1: your capable. That's what I'm doing on Saturday. I know
Speaker 1: a pickleball and all that. You know you go pickle ball.
Speaker 1: I want to see you commentator pickleball combat. Oh I
Speaker 1: would rock that. I know you would. It would be awesome.
Speaker 1: Let's do it. Somebody, somebody out there, if you have
Speaker 1: a pickleball broadcast me and I zoom. You want to
Speaker 1: call it? All right, let's take our second break. When
Speaker 1: we come back, let's talk about the impact that Mike
Speaker 1: McCarthy could potentially have on this offensive scheme. Heading into
Speaker 1: the Green Bay game. Right after this, with more talking cowboys,
Speaker 1: Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the
Speaker 1: Cheetah Savanna. Todd believe the big Cat repellent he bought
Speaker 1: online was reliable, and now Todd is trying to be
Speaker 1: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.
Speaker 1: But the good news is Todd has AT and T
Speaker 1: five G. It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he
Speaker 1: learned the best thing to do is stop running and

Speaker 1: you have a pair of Jay's Beamer? Of course? I
Speaker 1: did my court for Nike. Oh I didn't know, thats
Speaker 1: very interesting. I had Nikes in like gosh, in the
Speaker 1: early eighties, he was a trendsetter on I had on voids.
Speaker 1: Everybody was like, what kind of shoes are those? I'm like,

Speaker 1: buy your tennis shoes at? Oh? You mean when I
Speaker 1: actually marshine my own? Really? Yeah? I mean do now now?
Speaker 1: Back in the day, yeah, back in the day. How
Speaker 1: far back in the day we're talking to day like poor?
Speaker 1: Back in the poor. Back in the day, Oh well,
Speaker 1: it was payless and rec room. Yeah, those are the
Speaker 1: two that I used to hit time. Let's play less
Speaker 1: in rec it was a hardware story called Chubby and Tubbies,
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, and the days Saran wrapped his shoes
Speaker 1: and on the show. In the back of the hardware story,
Speaker 1: you got a couple of pills from From. We called it.
Speaker 1: We called it the Salve but Salvation Army shouts out
Speaker 1: the Salvation from as well already, right, so I shoot
Speaker 1: a game and go donate. Didn't get the leveled up
Speaker 1: until I started working in late high school. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm tired of being bro tired with this,
Speaker 1: tired of being poor before Yeah, I was right at
Speaker 1: the tail and all the shoes. There was no boxes.
Speaker 1: They're all just tied together. Super Yeah. That was my
Speaker 1: final two minutes here of the show. I want to
Speaker 1: hit Mike McCarthy. We're gonna hit it in depth tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Don't worry like nobody's been talking about that. We talked
Speaker 1: about it early, talked about it in month like Monday.
Speaker 1: I haven't really talked about it at a time, but
Speaker 1: I want to talk about it tomorrow more. And would
Speaker 1: say it was your chess Friday, because you talk about
Speaker 1: a matchup you're looking for, it's gonna be Mike McCarthy
Speaker 1: and Aaron Rodgers. That's gonna be one of the marquee
Speaker 1: matchups of the NFL week. But how much of an
Speaker 1: effect can he have on the Dallas offense and the
Speaker 1: success that he that they have against the Packers defense.
Speaker 1: Is there anything that lingers over from his time there
Speaker 1: in that regard? I don't know, Probably not. I think so, Yes,
Speaker 1: there's one thing that does. Okay. I think he obviously
Speaker 1: wants to win the ballgame for obvious reasons. It's obviously
Speaker 1: the season's going wellvin Cowboys, and then obviously he wants
Speaker 1: to give it to the Packers because you know he's
Speaker 1: no longer there. Yeah, give him a little little na
Speaker 1: I mean you want to, you wanna you want to
Speaker 1: give him, give them that work, but you know, respectfully,
Speaker 1: respectfully give him network. There's there's been a lot of
Speaker 1: change um in Green Bay obviously since since Mike McCarthy
Speaker 1: was fired. But one thing that hasn't changed, it's the quarterback.
Speaker 1: Quarterback still there. This is a quarterback that Mike McCarthy
Speaker 1: knows very very well, and there's nothing. You know, Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers isn't doing anything new in twenty twenty two, in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, then when he was being coached by
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy. Right at this point in the game, he's
Speaker 1: a future Hall of Famer, he's a you know, a
Speaker 1: former MVP raining the MVP I whever you want to
Speaker 1: look at it two times. So he's not going to
Speaker 1: put any new tricks out of the bag. There's nothing
Speaker 1: that Aaron Rodgers could do on Sunday that Mike McCarthy
Speaker 1: hasn't seen and isn't planning against, isn't helping Dan Quinny
Speaker 1: that defense scheme against and on top of that, from
Speaker 1: a defensive side of the Ball. We mentioned it in
Speaker 1: Anthony Barr. Even if Anthony Barr cannot go or is
Speaker 1: not fully healthy, the cerebral part of it is there.
Speaker 1: Anthony Barr is in these meeting rooms with Dan Quinney,
Speaker 1: these linebackers in these you know, the secondary and the
Speaker 1: defensive line, and he's saying, hey, here are the tendencies
Speaker 1: is for Aaron Rodgers. So from a Cowboys standpoint, not
Speaker 1: only do you have McCarthy, but you also have Anthony Barr.
Speaker 1: So those are two side of the coin. But flipping
Speaker 1: back to the McCarthy standpoint, guess who You're not only
Speaker 1: looking at McCarthy having experienced with Rogers. You're looking at
Speaker 1: Rob Davis and you're looking at Joe Philbin and you
Speaker 1: know they're like he said, there are ten assistant coaches
Speaker 1: on his staff that was with him, that were with
Speaker 1: him in Green Bay. That's a lot of recognition as
Speaker 1: far as you know, remembering whatever Robs can do. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so there's some high level intel. Let's put it that way.
Speaker 1: There's some high level intael being dropped in these defensive
Speaker 1: and offensive meetings about Aaron Rodgers, and that that should
Speaker 1: help the Cowboys. I don't think it needs to be.
Speaker 1: I think that the issues that Aaron Rodgers is going
Speaker 1: to have with the Dallas Cowboys, then Quinn has is
Speaker 1: the personnelity. I'm just saying it helps. Yeah, No, it doesn't.
Speaker 1: It does not, It does not. I totally agree with
Speaker 1: you that he has the knowledge and that if he was,
Speaker 1: if he had any other type of defense, that he
Speaker 1: might need to go over there and have a conversation
Speaker 1: with him. But I'm sure he probably peeked over there.
Speaker 1: I was like, hey, DQ, you you need if you
Speaker 1: need it, you know, I got it. And DQ was like,
Speaker 1: I know, coach, but we're good. Yeah. So one of
Speaker 1: my favorite stories you've ever told me about your playing
Speaker 1: career was when you were on the Giants against the
Speaker 1: Patriots and the Super Bowl and you were yelling at
Speaker 1: Tom Brady from the sideline. Isaiah stand Back yelling at
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. I don't think going into that game, anybody
Speaker 1: on the radio booth was saying that matchup between Isaiah
Speaker 1: stand Back and Tom Brady is gonna be my marking
Speaker 1: matchup to watch because Isaiah wants revenge against Tom Brady
Speaker 1: and he wants to get that Super Bowl ring and
Speaker 1: doing so. But it's different this time because you've got
Speaker 1: ten assistant coaches and the quarterback who's a Hall of
Speaker 1: Famer on the other side in Aaron Rodgers. That's a
Speaker 1: much more intriguing matchup as that was all but and
Speaker 1: you were yelling your your your butt off. But the
Speaker 1: thing is coach McCarthy's he he gets to walk into
Speaker 1: that stadium. Was so much swag. Yeah, yeah, especially because
Speaker 1: big it's not even just that, just their biggest asset
Speaker 1: against your biggest asset, your defense, their biggest threat, Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers versus your biggest threat, your entire defense. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: you know that he doesn't have the personnel to do it,
Speaker 1: and you know that your boys are coming off of
Speaker 1: one week off, and you know that your boys want
Speaker 1: to get this w for you. When I go back
Speaker 1: to college, when I was playing for the University of
Speaker 1: Washington and Tyrone Williham became my coach. We played Order
Speaker 1: Dame that next year. We wanted to destroy No Order
Speaker 1: Dame because of that. I had my best passing game
Speaker 1: that game because I was playing for my coach, like
Speaker 1: I was so amped up, and I knew how important.
Speaker 1: He would never say how important it was, but I
Speaker 1: knew how important it was, dam So I was making
Speaker 1: sure that I was putting my best behavior. I was
Speaker 1: putting my best effort for it, playing through whatever, throwing
Speaker 1: the best balls spots like I was so intent on
Speaker 1: destroying Order Dame. Because of that, this whole team is
Speaker 1: going to have that same attitude, that same vibe, because
Speaker 1: this is their leader. I agree. Saw McCarthy fighting back
Speaker 1: tiers earlier this week in the press conference. The players
Speaker 1: see that, they see that, yeah, you know, and that's
Speaker 1: just going to make them want to really dig. They're
Speaker 1: going to be going here, but you know, so like
Speaker 1: you said, but the defense, this is a defense also
Speaker 1: that Lafleura doesn't know, right, But this is a quarterback
Speaker 1: in Amon Rodgers that McCarthy plus eleven if you count
Speaker 1: Anthony Barr plus eleven very well. So I'm simply saying,
Speaker 1: while they shouldn't eat that, it's always better to have
Speaker 1: that insight into Cowboys coming off of their first forty
Speaker 1: burger of the twenty twenty two season. They're only forty
Speaker 1: burger of the twenty two season. I'm not doing it yet,
Speaker 1: don't right then, the Green Bay Packers, coming off of
Speaker 1: a nine point outing against the Detroit Lions and a
Speaker 1: defense that has not been very good. Both teams could
Speaker 1: not be going in different directions in this matchup that
Speaker 1: we just talked about of the Cowboys offense. Patrick and
Speaker 1: the Cowboys have a little bit of arrests in between
Speaker 1: there too, so could not be going in further directions.
Speaker 1: But we're gonna give our predictions tomorrow on Talking Cowboys,
Speaker 1: presented by Black Rifle Coffee Company that does it for
Speaker 1: us today for Chris Bean, Isaiah Stanback, Patrick Nosi walk
Speaker 1: around Kyle Yoman saying so long, We'll see tomorrow with
Speaker 1: more Talking Cowboys. This has been a production of Dallas
Speaker 1: Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
