Speaker 1: we preview the Cowboys offense versus the Bears defense. Cowboys
Speaker 1: offense trying to find their stride. This isn't necessarily the
Speaker 1: eighty five Bears defense, but they've got some pieces, one
Speaker 1: last piece to work with which we'll get into here
Speaker 1: in a minute as well. But we'll start things off
Speaker 1: as we always do. Patrick No, C. Walker, Isaiah stan Beck,
Speaker 1: We've got Chris Beam in the back. I'm Kyle Yeoman's. Also,

Speaker 1: that starting in the second segment, which you'll be in
Speaker 1: about fifteen minutes or so. Gentlemen, how we doing doing good?
Speaker 1: What are you laughing at our? Or so I know
Speaker 1: or so's are a little different here. I like to
Speaker 1: take the first segment a little longer because the listeners
Speaker 1: are just tuned in, they're locked in that first segments
Speaker 1: really hitting it. And then uh, and then we go
Speaker 1: to the second segment, make the second two a little shorter.
Speaker 1: That's kind of my doing. But uh, but yeah, we
Speaker 1: have a lot of good conversation rock with any any
Speaker 1: dressed very nicely the day. Might I add, yeah, we've
Speaker 1: got a special edition filming. You don't need you don't
Speaker 1: need to justify your flash. You don't need to justify
Speaker 1: your flas actually, just going to the gym personally, that's
Speaker 1: what you're wearing a gym. That's what you work out,
Speaker 1: that's your work out of tide, that's it, you know,
Speaker 1: keep it. That's what happens when you're corporate in the
Speaker 1: gym gym world. Yeah, to go buttoned up and everything. Yeah,
Speaker 1: guys are crazy man. You were on You were on
Speaker 1: Cowboys cross Stock last night with George Tew, the legendary
Speaker 1: George Tige and of course the legendary Big Nate as
Speaker 1: no one loved. It was fantastic, a ton of fun.
Speaker 1: Shouts out to Kevin Gray as well for hosting last
Speaker 1: night as he as he always does at his job. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and just a great conversation. We were talking about the
Speaker 1: Bears preview and the Bears gave some predictions, talked about, uh,
Speaker 1: you know what was going through George Teague's mind before
Speaker 1: he knocked Terrell Owens his block off for for trying
Speaker 1: to you know, disrespect the start at the at the
Speaker 1: fifty yard line. And for those some of the younger
Speaker 1: listeners in view of the show, do yourself a favor
Speaker 1: and YouTube that YouTube that so you can get some
Speaker 1: of the some of the better parts of Cowboys history appreciated.
Speaker 1: Get it all up in your veins what George Tigue
Speaker 1: was able to do and represent in the star in
Speaker 1: that game against San Francisco, that legendary game against San
Speaker 1: Francisco that went on to be Emmett Smith's you know
Speaker 1: passing of Sweetness as far as the all time NFL rushers.
Speaker 1: So a lot of great history went on in that game.
Speaker 1: George t talked about that, and again we talked about
Speaker 1: the Bears, state of the Cowboys outlook, so forth and
Speaker 1: so on. So fantastic show with Kevin Gray, the legends,
Speaker 1: George Tigue and Big Nate. And the cool thing about
Speaker 1: that is the timeliness of it too, because today October
Speaker 1: twenty seventh, correct, it's the twentieth anniversary of when Emmett
Speaker 1: Smith passed Walter Payton for the all time NFL's rushing record.
Speaker 1: Of course, the Bradsham call move over Sweetness make place
Speaker 1: for Emmett became famous in this day because of what
Speaker 1: Emmett Smith did, and a lot of people have been
Speaker 1: talking about it, at least in the press conferences, and
Speaker 1: I'm sure there will be stories on every media outlet today.
Speaker 1: There'll probably be an Instagram post and Twitter post about it,
Speaker 1: just because it's the twentieth anniversary of when twenty two
Speaker 1: became number one. But with that being said, is that
Speaker 1: something that will ever be surpassed? You think? Do you
Speaker 1: think that's something that could be caught one hundred and
Speaker 1: sixty four touchdowns, not to mention the amount of yards
Speaker 1: that he put up as well. I mean, it's pretty unbelievable,
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy said, at least in the way the things
Speaker 1: are built now, and and of course with the the
Speaker 1: new importance put on player safety, he doesn't see it happening,
Speaker 1: especially with the way the running backs are used now. Now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know what Matt happened in the next decade,
Speaker 1: but yeah, this this style of play that's currently going
Speaker 1: on in the NFL right now, to just throw it
Speaker 1: around type era that we're in, I don't see it
Speaker 1: happening for sure, but that may change, you know, maybe
Speaker 1: there's the next generation comes in and they want to
Speaker 1: go back to the wing t. I don't know, but
Speaker 1: we spoke about it a couple of weeks ago. Everything
Speaker 1: is clical, so i'd say never say never. You know
Speaker 1: what it would take to achieve that, obviously would be monumental.
Speaker 1: You'd have to get a generational talent with a generational
Speaker 1: front and you know, offensive line in front of them
Speaker 1: and an elite quarterback behind them that keeps supposing defenses
Speaker 1: from being able to stack the box. And you got
Speaker 1: to have the perfect storm, and that's basically what it
Speaker 1: was for the Cowboys offense back in the day. It
Speaker 1: was the perfect storm. It was a generational arm in
Speaker 1: Troy Acron, a generational legs, and durability in Emma Smith,
Speaker 1: which again durability being a keyword there, you're not wrong.
Speaker 1: And then you're talking about a generational offensive line. So
Speaker 1: can it happen again, Yes, never say never, but it
Speaker 1: would have to be in the point of the cycle,
Speaker 1: and that might not be for another ten, twenty thirty years.
Speaker 1: We see how it goes. It has to come back
Speaker 1: to run first, but we're kind of slowly getting there.
Speaker 1: We talked about the defenses are starting to shut down
Speaker 1: that pass all over the field type offense, so they're
Speaker 1: becoming fewer and far in between. So never say never,
Speaker 1: but until it happens, the King lives in Dallas. We'll
Speaker 1: talk about fourteen NFL seasons. Eight of them were Pro Bowls,
Speaker 1: four first team All Pro, two second team All Pro,
Speaker 1: four time rushing leader. He did it four times. He
Speaker 1: did it with the span of five seasons. That's unbelievable.
Speaker 1: I mean the numbers. Growing up, Immett was was an idol.
Speaker 1: Everybody that liked the Cowboys. Emmett was the dude, and
Speaker 1: just when you go back and look at how incredibly
Speaker 1: durable and how incredibly talented he was, it really is impressive.
Speaker 1: Eighteen thousand, three hundred and fifty five yards is his
Speaker 1: ending total and that stands above anybody all time in
Speaker 1: the NFL. So one of the at least touch that
Speaker 1: since it is the twentieth anniversary today. But Patrick, what's
Speaker 1: some news and notes? What's going on with the Cowboys
Speaker 1: talking about durability and Ezekie, I'm sorry, um, Emmett Smith
Speaker 1: south of Emma Smith with it, you know, playing through
Speaker 1: the shoulder issues. We're going to use that to segway
Speaker 1: right into the injury report. WWRD what would Rob do? Um?
Speaker 1: And we had? What first? Let's leave with Zeke. That's
Speaker 1: why I got my running backs mixed up there. Ezekiel Elliott,
Speaker 1: as expected, did not practice on Wednesday. And I say
Speaker 1: as expected because Mike McCarthy already gave the heads up
Speaker 1: on that and yesterday's press conference saying that he was
Speaker 1: going to be exclusively working with Britt Brown and the
Speaker 1: rehab group working on that knee, and the Cowboys and
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy labeled it a nice sprain. Ezekiel Elliott himself
Speaker 1: after the game labeled a knee contusion. Uh, let's just
Speaker 1: call it a nice sprain with possibly a thigh bruise
Speaker 1: or a knee bruise. The way that Detroit was tackling,
Speaker 1: I would believe that they were going low fly and
Speaker 1: they paid for because he came back in the game
Speaker 1: and he humiliated a human being. The next human being
Speaker 1: who went at his legs, he protected us. He's now
Speaker 1: a poster so Ezekiel Elliott not unexpected. We'll see if
Speaker 1: he practices at all this week. He did make it
Speaker 1: clear that will not make it clear, but he did
Speaker 1: intimate that it would be a late week decision. It'll
Speaker 1: be a group decision between Zeke, the coaching staff, and
Speaker 1: the medical staff, but we won't probably won't know his
Speaker 1: game status until later this week. He did state that
Speaker 1: he did not have to practice to play, though, and
Speaker 1: I believe that similar to Michael Parsons when Michael was
Speaker 1: dealing with a growing injury and I said, hey, I'd
Speaker 1: like to see DMP D and p DMP because he's
Speaker 1: able to go out there and get the job done.
Speaker 1: So keep an eye on Zeke. We had a couple
Speaker 1: of surprises though. Noah Brown did not participate on Wednesday
Speaker 1: with a foot injury that seemingly happened at some point
Speaker 1: in the game, I would say, because there's been no
Speaker 1: practice between Sunday and yesterday, so something to keep an
Speaker 1: eye on there. Another one who did not practice that
Speaker 1: was unexpected is safety Malik Hooker. That's also a key
Speaker 1: player because he's the green dot guy for Dan Quinn
Speaker 1: and helping to communicate the defensive play calls to the
Speaker 1: unit on the field. So Noah Brown, Malik Hooker, keep
Speaker 1: an eye on those going forward, key players on both
Speaker 1: sides of the ball. Dalton Shows was limited, Terrence Steele
Speaker 1: a little bit of a question mark. He was limited,
Speaker 1: but looked like there's too much concern with either of
Speaker 1: those shows obviously still battling that pcos poring. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: you look at Malie Cooker only had thirty snaps. He
Speaker 1: was kind of limited to the back half of the
Speaker 1: game and there was a lot of different packages where
Speaker 1: he was unavailable and they kind of switched out a thought.
Speaker 1: So there were a couple times where Donovan Wilson would
Speaker 1: fill in and he would go back as the free
Speaker 1: and then kurtse could come in and still play that
Speaker 1: box safety. So that's the benefit of having three guys
Speaker 1: there that whenever Hooker's out, they have some at least
Speaker 1: mixing and matching that they could do. But I want
Speaker 1: to go back to the offensive side since today, of course,
Speaker 1: on every Thursday, we talk about the Cowboys offensive matchup
Speaker 1: with their opponent's defense, and the Bears are, of course
Speaker 1: that opponent coming up on Sunday. How much can Tony
Speaker 1: Pollard handle by himself? How much is your convert Where
Speaker 1: is your confidence level with Tony Pollard and how he
Speaker 1: could handle a workload if Ezekiel Elliot's not available to
Speaker 1: go because there's conflicting reports at the moment, Zeke and
Speaker 1: the coaching staffs don't worry. A lot of people around
Speaker 1: the staff and at least around the media are saying
Speaker 1: he's not expected to play. But where would your confidence
Speaker 1: lie on Pollard? I have confidence that he can carry
Speaker 1: himself through a game. I just don't want to put
Speaker 1: that pressure on him. I don't want to physically beat
Speaker 1: down Tony Pollard is kid, but can he handle it? Absolutely?
Speaker 1: I worry more about TP when it comes to the
Speaker 1: passing to the past blocking and his ability to be
Speaker 1: able to sit back there and take online backers and
Speaker 1: you know, occasionally defensive ends. But in terms of his
Speaker 1: ability to run the ball and tote the thing, especially
Speaker 1: against his Bears front, I don't see a problem with him.
Speaker 1: I mean, the Bears at the bottom of the league
Speaker 1: in terms of their ability to stop the run. They've
Speaker 1: given up the most yards and tied for most yards
Speaker 1: in the league and if you get up the most touchdown.
Speaker 1: So I think if there's ever a game in which
Speaker 1: TP can handle, it will be against against these guys. Well,
Speaker 1: Tony said, if they call it, I can haul it.
Speaker 1: Oh okay. So he sounds like he's ready. He's ready
Speaker 1: for almost a full workload. And obviously the Cowboys would
Speaker 1: spell him with Malite Davis, who they likely elevate from
Speaker 1: the practice squad. They have two more elevations I believe,
Speaker 1: at least one on Leak Davis, so it wouldn't be
Speaker 1: a one workload for Tony Pollard. But it does sound
Speaker 1: like he's completely ready and up to the task. I
Speaker 1: would say this, go ahead and unleash them if you
Speaker 1: need to. If Zeke doesn't play for whatever reason, or
Speaker 1: not for whatever reason. But if he doesn't play because
Speaker 1: of the neat issue, uh, you have the bye week
Speaker 1: coming up, you know, so use Tony Pollard to really
Speaker 1: do some damage in that run game, because you got
Speaker 1: you got two weeks after that for him to rest
Speaker 1: and kind of recover, get in the ice bath a
Speaker 1: few times. This is really similar to last year. Last
Speaker 1: year when Zeke sustained the PCL was a week before
Speaker 1: the bye week, right, or it was a little bit earlier,
Speaker 1: but they could have utilized the bye week as like
Speaker 1: an extra as an extra week to get As soon
Speaker 1: as he said that, I thought about the same thing
Speaker 1: because we had this conversation last year about Zeke and
Speaker 1: they didn't do it. They played him, they let him go,
Speaker 1: and they camped the rest of the year and he
Speaker 1: didn't healthy. And those who do not learned from the
Speaker 1: past to repeated the type thing. So this would in
Speaker 1: fact be a good week to rest Zeke and let
Speaker 1: that knee kind of heal up and feel better because
Speaker 1: you got Aaron Rodgers and Green Bay at Lambo on
Speaker 1: the other side of this bye week. Tony Pollard, Mallie Davis.
Speaker 1: I believe that they can get the job done against
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears run defense. Now, as a whole, the
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears defense is not as bad as right as
Speaker 1: the Lions or as you would like to believe. It's
Speaker 1: the run defense that's really bad. Their past defense not
Speaker 1: so bad. So that's something to keep an eye on.
Speaker 1: But yeah, if if I'm kelling Moore and Mike McCarthy,
Speaker 1: if Zeke can't go, yeah, I'm just letting the route
Speaker 1: with Tony Pollard and then you spelling Malie Davis says.
Speaker 1: And it's a little easier to run against that defense
Speaker 1: now too. Why is that because Robert Quinn is no
Speaker 1: longer in Chicago? What happened to Quinn? Where did he? Well?
Speaker 1: See what happened was Howie Roseman on Tuesday didn't take
Speaker 1: a liking to the Cowboys trading for Jonathan Hankin, so
Speaker 1: he said, okay, up yet, I'll go ahead and get
Speaker 1: Robert Quinn. And you know the Eagles acquired Robert Quinn
Speaker 1: on And where where is Howie Roseman? Where is he
Speaker 1: the general manager Philadelphia? Oh, that's right, the Eagles. Yeah,
Speaker 1: those goes. So they go and get an edge rusher.
Speaker 1: The Eagles do they trade a fourth round pick to
Speaker 1: go get Robert Quinn. Robert Quinn, who this year has
Speaker 1: been underwhelming to a certain extent. There's a bit of
Speaker 1: a change of guard in terms of the defensive system
Speaker 1: in Chicago. Hasn't been utilized the same way as he
Speaker 1: was last year. How did he do last year? He
Speaker 1: had eighteen and a half sat in the ball in
Speaker 1: in the twenty twenty one campaign. Yeah, so this year
Speaker 1: he only has one, but he's played. Okay, systems matter.
Speaker 1: Systems matter, they absolutely do. And Dallas drew draw two.
Speaker 1: They were like draw four and they stacked it. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So Robert Quinn, he's got a It's kind of a
Speaker 1: volletole trade because it could either turn into Chicago twenty
Speaker 1: twenty two Robert Quinn, or he could turn into Chicago
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one Robert Quinn hope, which hopefully it's the
Speaker 1: first one that's hopefully it's the one that he showed
Speaker 1: this year. What's a similar situation for him in that
Speaker 1: because of the prowess of the youth, you know, Fletcher notwithstanding,
Speaker 1: but he's still stout. Because of the depth and the
Speaker 1: ability and the talent they have across the defensive line
Speaker 1: for the Philadelphia Eagles. It's similar to Jonathan Hankins coming
Speaker 1: into Dallas and that they're not going to ask Robert
Speaker 1: Quinn to be a three down guy. They're going to
Speaker 1: ask him to go in there primarily for a pass
Speaker 1: rush for third downs and penning his ears bag and that's,
Speaker 1: you know, theoretically should make him more effective because he'd
Speaker 1: be more rested and more refreshed, kind of like what
Speaker 1: we're expecting to see from Jonathan Hankins. That's a really
Speaker 1: good point because a lot of people are looking at
Speaker 1: Philly and it's like, Wow, all of their guys are
Speaker 1: on the interior with Brandy Graham, Fletcher Cox, Jordan Davis.
Speaker 1: They've got those guys up front, but on the edge,
Speaker 1: they've got two healthy edge rushers right now, they're pretty
Speaker 1: thin on the edge, where you could also say something
Speaker 1: very similar to the Cowboys. Wow, they've got DeMarcus Lawrence
Speaker 1: and Doran's Armstrong and of course that Michael Parson's cat
Speaker 1: that comes off the second level two. I mean, they've
Speaker 1: got guys on the edge, but they're light on the inside,
Speaker 1: A little light for size wise, Yeah, for size wise,
Speaker 1: there there light on the inside. Pass rush Osakis Neville
Speaker 1: Gallimar Tristan Hill doesn't matter. But in terms of stopping
Speaker 1: the run, it's Quentin Bohannah and hopefully Osa kind of
Speaker 1: shows up. So now you've got Jonathan Hankins into that
Speaker 1: fold too, So it is you're right, it's very similar.
Speaker 1: But I mean, a higher quality player for a higher
Speaker 1: price is what Philly paid for. Then Cowboys getting a
Speaker 1: thirty year old defensive tackle for pretty much next to nothing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and so the Cowboys won't see Robert Quinn helping out
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears. But add another storyline to the Cowboys
Speaker 1: versus the Eagles on December twenty fourth, as if there
Speaker 1: was a shortage of storylines going into that game, add
Speaker 1: another one, Yeah, the one? Why not? Why not? All right,
Speaker 1: We've got a special guest on the line and we're
Speaker 1: gonna get to them on the other side of the break.
Speaker 1: You know them, you love them. We'll give you a

Speaker 1: special guest here on the podcast. If you're on the
Speaker 1: video side of things, you already see his bright, smiling,
Speaker 1: shining face over there in the bottom left hand corner
Speaker 1: of the screen. We've got Anthony Spice Adams on the line.
Speaker 1: You know him, you love him, the former Chicago Bear,
Speaker 1: former NFL standout, but also now just internet mogul. I mean,
Speaker 1: he is all over the place, and we'll talk plenty
Speaker 1: about that in a moment. But Spice, how's it going.
Speaker 1: Welcome to Talking Cowboys and I can't complain. Man slow
Speaker 1: motion better than no most. Now, Isaiah, you and Spice
Speaker 1: know each other from where we went to grad school together.
Speaker 1: So following following our time in the league, you know,
Speaker 1: we were in separate places. I was all over the
Speaker 1: dog on league, seemingly at every team. He was out
Speaker 1: there with Chicago and the forty nine ers, and we
Speaker 1: went to grad school trying to figure out what the
Speaker 1: heck we're gonna do with the next phase of our life.
Speaker 1: And that's that's how we linked up. We went to
Speaker 1: George Washington University. You got our NBA together, and that
Speaker 1: was really the time where social media was really kind
Speaker 1: of starting to take off. And we used to clown
Speaker 1: around on the bus all the time together and here
Speaker 1: this dude go start making videos left and right, and
Speaker 1: he just blows up. It's kind of is that a
Speaker 1: true story? What kind of what kind of student was
Speaker 1: Isaiah in grad school? Oh? Uh, didn't get his work done,
Speaker 1: you know, try to copy off people, kind of kind
Speaker 1: of like the same thing he's doing now, you know,
Speaker 1: if you got some notes around Isaiah's Like yeah, so
Speaker 1: like I said about Emmitt Smith, I mean, uh, Ezekiel Elliott,
Speaker 1: like I said, you know, he may be healthy, he
Speaker 1: may not be you know, I don't know. It's not
Speaker 1: on my notes, but I'm looking off of Patrick's notes
Speaker 1: at this point. This is something that I need to
Speaker 1: talk about. He writes your name there instead of his.
Speaker 1: Oh that's awesome. So Spice Adams. You can follow him
Speaker 1: on Twitter on Instagram, and on TikTok, and you won't
Speaker 1: be alone in any of those categories. He's got two
Speaker 1: hundred and forty thousand on Twitter, You've got five hundred
Speaker 1: k on TikTok, and TikTok is my favorite medium to
Speaker 1: follow on and then and then two million on Instagram.
Speaker 1: So how did you kind of start taking advantage and
Speaker 1: getting into what has now turned into a passion for
Speaker 1: you on the social media side of things. It really
Speaker 1: all started as a dare you know, because I didn't
Speaker 1: want anything to do with social media. I was just
Speaker 1: so focused on playing football, so focused on the a gap.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm a nose guard, so I'm there like, yeah,
Speaker 1: go ahead, lands make the tack or whatever. Like I'm
Speaker 1: just focused on football and that is it. And then,
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of my teammates was like, dude,
Speaker 1: you are built for social media. But I couldn't see it.
Speaker 1: I couldn't understand it. It was stupid to me. You
Speaker 1: put together one hundred and twenty characters and people judge
Speaker 1: you off of what you tweet. I was like, this
Speaker 1: is the stupidest thing in the world. But I started
Speaker 1: to understand how it worked because some of my teammates
Speaker 1: would take me in the locker room or they'll take
Speaker 1: me in the weight room, and then they'll post it
Speaker 1: on their page and then they'll say, look at the
Speaker 1: reaction that this is, like that's going on with this,
Speaker 1: And I'm like, this is just me just doing what
Speaker 1: I regularly do in the locker room and stuff like that,
Speaker 1: and so I didn't understand it. But then I started
Speaker 1: posting my own stuff and started getting a good reaction
Speaker 1: to it, and I just I just kept at it,
Speaker 1: and then before long I did the retirement video at
Speaker 1: White Castle, and then everything just kind of took off
Speaker 1: from there. Well, Spice, let me let me ask you
Speaker 1: a question, because you're taking off, and you've already taken
Speaker 1: off on social media, and now that everybody knows you,
Speaker 1: let's let's talk about your bears for a second. Let's
Speaker 1: talk about how how good you're feeling or maybe not
Speaker 1: so much. You love what you saw what they did
Speaker 1: against Bill Belichick and those New England Patriots. Is that
Speaker 1: enough to get your confidence up to level ten or
Speaker 1: you know, you're still down at seven with some with
Speaker 1: some hope going on. How do you feel about them
Speaker 1: coming into Dallas? Oh? Yeah, man, we gonna, we're gonna
Speaker 1: run y'all through this for y'all, it's over for y'all.
Speaker 1: Y'a don't even know if he's Zenio or is playing
Speaker 1: in the end. Y'all gonna put Polard in there. Poloway
Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty five pounds. We're gonna get him
Speaker 1: with one of them four arms shippers. He gonna go.
Speaker 1: We're gonna knock the two off his jersey. He's gonna
Speaker 1: be number zero out there. We're bringing the funk. We're
Speaker 1: bringing the fun. Watch who is bringing this funk? Because
Speaker 1: you just traded Robert Quinn. I don't know another name
Speaker 1: on that entire defense except for Roquan Smith, and even
Speaker 1: he wants out of Chicago. So you a hater? Is
Speaker 1: that you ask? Just asking? You don't know who Eddie
Speaker 1: Jackson is? Who is you don't know who thirty three
Speaker 1: Johnson is? You know who? We what is Johnson's first nam?
Speaker 1: We were bringing that fun, were bringing the fun. A spot.
Speaker 1: Who is the best player on that Chicago Bears defense
Speaker 1: right now? Roquan? There you go? People know? I mean, hey,
Speaker 1: did you did you see that forty nine A game?
Speaker 1: That man had three hundred tackles. He does lead the
Speaker 1: league getting tackles, and it would be the first time
Speaker 1: ever that a Bears linebacker Bears anybody would have led
Speaker 1: the league in tackles, even Herlocker didn't get a chance
Speaker 1: to do that. So pretty impressive what Smith is doing.
Speaker 1: So from a from an offensive standpoint, though, can you
Speaker 1: guys throw? Do you have you have an art on
Speaker 1: that offense? I'm just curious, do you have anybody? They look?
Speaker 1: We we we run the ball. We run the ball.
Speaker 1: We we we have a running back by the name
Speaker 1: of Juice. Herbert is a backup to David Montgomery, who
Speaker 1: has more yards than Ezekiel Elliott, who's number nine in
Speaker 1: the league right now and rushing yards with less Carris
Speaker 1: doesn't he also have more yards running. We get off
Speaker 1: the bus running. But okay, Montgomery, he got hurt. He
Speaker 1: got hurt a little bit, so he had to sit
Speaker 1: out a come from games. Now. Herbert said, you know what,
Speaker 1: I got you, dog, I got you. But then when
Speaker 1: you come back, I'm still gonna have you. Say so
Speaker 1: we can get off the bus running. I don't care
Speaker 1: who y'all got. I don't get y'all just got hankins. Right,
Speaker 1: that's what thirty. Yeah, he comes in already like the
Speaker 1: fourth oldest person on the team, like already than Jason
Speaker 1: Peters who's played forty five years. And then you gotta
Speaker 1: go down there, though, who else? Uh? Who else y'all got, y'all, y'all, y'all,
Speaker 1: everybody tackle h Smith Tyrn Smith, who played twenty years,
Speaker 1: and then you gotta go down to the long snappers.
Speaker 1: At that point, may everybody worried about yall? Hey, so
Speaker 1: I know you said that ye y'all get off the
Speaker 1: bus running man, But y'all, you know who else gets
Speaker 1: off the bus running? Anybody else who plays against y'all
Speaker 1: because y'all at the bottom of the league in terms
Speaker 1: of Russian defense. Y'all gave up a thousand and forty
Speaker 1: eight yards this year already on the ground. Listen, we
Speaker 1: assage about we give up about twenty more yards. It's
Speaker 1: rushing and y'all, dude, you're honestly not We had like
Speaker 1: one forty, y'all, like one twenty really no difference, but
Speaker 1: one big breakaway running that's per game, though, I mean,
Speaker 1: that's not just overall. Come on, now, so have you
Speaker 1: ever heard of this? This this young guys. He's in
Speaker 1: his second year in the league. He wears the number
Speaker 1: eleven on the defensive side. Have you ever heard of
Speaker 1: Micah Parsons. I mean, I know you guys had to
Speaker 1: really get nice player up there for a little bit
Speaker 1: that we're fifty two. But he's even doing better things
Speaker 1: than what that number fifty two Khalil Mack was doing
Speaker 1: early in his career. Have you heard of Michael Parsons
Speaker 1: To this point, Bro, Michael Parsons is the terminator. He
Speaker 1: is He is not from this world. The first terminator
Speaker 1: with the dudes was falling off the sky. One of
Speaker 1: them was Michael Parsons. He is unreal dog. He can.
Speaker 1: The only way you stop Michael Parsons is if he
Speaker 1: decides he wants to stop himself. That's it. That's that
Speaker 1: is the only He is a monster man. I love
Speaker 1: his game. I love watching him. And he went to
Speaker 1: the best school in the world. Pins. Come on, that's
Speaker 1: linebacker you stick city eleven still eleven in college. That
Speaker 1: man set out a whole year. He's basically a sophomore.
Speaker 1: Oh what is amazing. I'm gonna get Michael his flowers
Speaker 1: right now. He is amazing. So speaking of Michael and
Speaker 1: speaking of you guys, run game, what's your thoughts on
Speaker 1: when Justin Fields gets out of that backfield and he's
Speaker 1: trying to escape Michael. You think he can do that
Speaker 1: or you think Michael's uh gonna finish. No, No, that's
Speaker 1: the right answer. What I think. What I think when
Speaker 1: when he backs up three step, five step, a hundred step,
Speaker 1: he better know where eleven is at all time. There's
Speaker 1: the science. He better keep his head on a swill.
Speaker 1: If you see two number one. He needs to throw
Speaker 1: the ball, get rid of the ball, or just be
Speaker 1: like here, He's not gonna be expecting you to throw
Speaker 1: the ball right here. He's gonna be startled. That's what
Speaker 1: I would. That's how you stop Mica quarterback. Throw the
Speaker 1: ball as hard as you can face. He gonna be startled.
Speaker 1: That's how you do it. Play how potato basically, so, hey,
Speaker 1: you gotta throw it like Uncle Rico. See you throw
Speaker 1: it right here at the sternalm So then like he
Speaker 1: could lose his breath because he's gonna be he's gonna
Speaker 1: be like, well, he's gonna be startled, but then he's
Speaker 1: gonna lose a little bit of breath. Because it's right
Speaker 1: here on the sternalm that's on the way you stopped.
Speaker 1: So so, fellow Penn State grad you played, you were
Speaker 1: drafted back in two thousand and three, second round pick.
Speaker 1: I know, Penn States, it's that long ago, but you've
Speaker 1: got this this tight knit group of guys that are
Speaker 1: Nitney Lyons and guys that played for Penn State. Have
Speaker 1: you interacted previously with Michael Parsons at any point? Have
Speaker 1: you gotten to meet him previously? I did, Actually we
Speaker 1: did something for Old Spice and he actually got a
Speaker 1: chance to talk to my son, which was dope because
Speaker 1: my son just started up high school ball or whatever.
Speaker 1: And this was before the draft, and you know, got
Speaker 1: a chance to talk to him. And even when I
Speaker 1: went back to Penn State, they were always talking about him,
Speaker 1: and I got a chance to talk to him on
Speaker 1: the phone while he was you know, trying to figure
Speaker 1: out ways how to manage his time and you know,
Speaker 1: make sure that he is doing what he's supposed to
Speaker 1: do in the classroom and things like that. And you know,
Speaker 1: now seeing him blow up in the NFL, it was
Speaker 1: just confirmation of what I already knew. Like I saw
Speaker 1: how he talked I saw how he talked about his son.
Speaker 1: I saw how he matured, and it's just great to
Speaker 1: see him, you know, all over the league right now.
Speaker 1: And you know, like I said, he's a terminator, man,
Speaker 1: this dude is a cyber. If you pull back the
Speaker 1: skin on his forearms, man, I guarantee you it's some
Speaker 1: type of steel. It's a steal skeleton in there, man.
Speaker 1: And I know it's been a minute man since we
Speaker 1: both have touched the field. Reminding people, man, do your
Speaker 1: time with the forty niners, your time with the Bears,
Speaker 1: who were some of the great players that you played with.
Speaker 1: So everybody kind of has an idea of what are
Speaker 1: you was in I played with some dogs, man. I
Speaker 1: played with some Hall of famers man, Julius Peppers, Bryant
Speaker 1: Young who just went to the Hall of Fame, Jeremy Newberry,
Speaker 1: Olan croups Lands, Briggs, Brian her Lacker, Larry Allen, who
Speaker 1: is the legalized killer. I had to go up again.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you, I went up against Larry Allen
Speaker 1: and practice every day because there it was always somebody like, yeah, man,
Speaker 1: I gotta stretch my hand. People are just mysteriously he
Speaker 1: got hurt every time you had to line up against
Speaker 1: Larry Allen and we were in the three four at
Speaker 1: the time. So I'm head up on Larry and you
Speaker 1: can't choose a gap. If you choose a gap like
Speaker 1: that would be to my advantage because I'm like a short,
Speaker 1: squatty guy, you know what I'm saying. At least I
Speaker 1: can get half a man, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: because if you take on bro, I'm telling I had
Speaker 1: to see a chiropractor every day because every time I
Speaker 1: went up against Larry Allen, like, he was like it
Speaker 1: was like a back adjustment, it was like and then
Speaker 1: we had the Oklahoma drill, right, so boy, we were
Speaker 1: in the shoot right, so he can go this gap
Speaker 1: or he can go this gap right, and I'm in
Speaker 1: there like this, like once I make contact, I'm like,
Speaker 1: Frank could choose whatever gap he wants to and I'm
Speaker 1: just like, I'm just staying right here. I reached one
Speaker 1: arm right here. That's Pancakes City. I reached out here
Speaker 1: as Pancakes City. So I'm just right here, just doing
Speaker 1: my job. While I'm like this, your feet on the
Speaker 1: ground bouncing like is that? Can't somebody blow the whistle?
Speaker 1: Somebody blow the whistle like this is four seconds is
Speaker 1: way too long a man. Well, Spice, we really appreciate
Speaker 1: you coming on. This has been a ton of fun
Speaker 1: getting to talk with you. I've been a fan of

Speaker 1: want to thank you specifically, you said you knew about
Speaker 1: Micah Parsons and that you knew he was gonna be
Speaker 1: a bawler. Thank you for not telling your Chicago Bears

Speaker 1: thing to do is stop running and toss her the
Speaker 1: backpack with the beef stew At and T five G. Fast, reliable, secure,

Speaker 1: at you, guys, man, and I listened to your periodically man,
Speaker 1: and just see how y'all enhanced this thing. And make
Speaker 1: it better for the cowboys with y'all analogies and how
Speaker 1: you break it down. You're feeling good about the game
Speaker 1: this week, I'm feeling great. Yeah. What part are you
Speaker 1: feeling best about? Man? I'm gonna tell you. I told
Speaker 1: Patrick last night. Last night, I saw a truck about
Speaker 1: nine o'clock yesterday, a big meat packing truck pull up
Speaker 1: in him, man, and the truck was shaking and going
Speaker 1: wild blood. They got a beast to the back of
Speaker 1: this truck. All of a sudden, Jonathan Hanker, this came
Speaker 1: up out of the dog, big boy. I'm ready to
Speaker 1: stop the run. I'm too cow master that can tackle.
Speaker 1: See it with your chest? Nine yards? Nine of yards
Speaker 1: are less Once he gets settled in, does he need
Speaker 1: the arts are less? Yes? Rushing does he need? Does
Speaker 1: he need a ramp up period later? Do you feel
Speaker 1: good just throwing him in the man? I throw him
Speaker 1: in there, okay. I look him straight as out like
Speaker 1: I'm looking k y right now. Look at him. He
Speaker 1: scared plays ten plays? Give me ten play yep, because
Speaker 1: because that's all he needed. Uh, the mess up of
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator. If he Man, I don't ran ten and
Speaker 1: run plays? No game. Man, Well, I'm through this thing
Speaker 1: and now we eat all day long. We eat. From
Speaker 1: that point one twenty yards were throwing per game. Whatever.
Speaker 1: They asked him yesterday if he if he thinks he
Speaker 1: could play on Sunday. He basically said yeah. He was like, well,
Speaker 1: first of all, this only Wednesday. He's like, but even still,
Speaker 1: I feel like I have plenty of time to get
Speaker 1: you know, my legs with just enough to get in
Speaker 1: there on Sunday and make an impact ten plays. There
Speaker 1: you go again. We've mentioned it yesterday. This isn't like
Speaker 1: a Jason Peter's ramp up he's been playing. He played
Speaker 1: last week. Yep. So caught off the cold out of
Speaker 1: the meat truck. Yeah, make it happen. That truck was rocking, man,
Speaker 1: I'm like this, who is back there? Hankers came about
Speaker 1: it up, man, and then think about the truck tried
Speaker 1: to take off and he two got you got the
Speaker 1: trunk and both sides of hold on. I thought it's
Speaker 1: about trying to run the rock. Yeah, yeah, we're ready
Speaker 1: hit on in the show. But Robert Quinn gone, how
Speaker 1: much better do you feel? Even though they were already
Speaker 1: at the bottom of the league, even with Robert Quinn.
Speaker 1: Now that he's gone, how much better do you feel
Speaker 1: rushing the ball against his team? Well, what it does
Speaker 1: is he has the ability to duplicate what has gave
Speaker 1: our young left tackle problems and that speed just off
Speaker 1: the edge. And uh, it's a young guy behind him,
Speaker 1: Kyle you making look him up that they like and
Speaker 1: they want to put in there. And so they felt
Speaker 1: talking about the Bears on the bars on the Bears
Speaker 1: and defense man and they thought number ninety one, I
Speaker 1: can't think of his name, but they put him in there.
Speaker 1: They think that he's enough when you get rid of
Speaker 1: a player because they planning uh Sarah still. So they
Speaker 1: just wanted to stop him from blocking another young talent. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so Dominique Robinson yeah, Miami OHIOA. Yeah, he was. I
Speaker 1: was massive on him on the draft show. I didn't
Speaker 1: even realize he was on this this roster. Yeah. So
Speaker 1: the play they trying to talk about speed, he's speed off.
Speaker 1: So you're saying they were removing a vetteran so that
Speaker 1: the young guy can play. Because what I read is
Speaker 1: they still gonna pay of this guy, sary, and so, uh,
Speaker 1: that was a no brainer for the Eagles. They gotta
Speaker 1: pay seven seven hundred thousand dollars and they get a
Speaker 1: speed rushing that they can add to their repertoire. He's
Speaker 1: not he's gonna start. He's gonna be added to the repertoire.
Speaker 1: So hey, we made a move, Like my man Patrick said,
Speaker 1: we made a move. They made a move. Who's gonna
Speaker 1: make the next move? I mean, this thing is getting
Speaker 1: good and it's too bad. We're going into a breakoutter
Speaker 1: we beat down these bags, beat down these bags. What's
Speaker 1: your what's your prediction? Where do you think? What do
Speaker 1: you think the predictions for this week? For us them
Speaker 1: rushing or for us them scoring, we'll say we'll say
Speaker 1: just general core prediction. Yeah, man, it's always gonna be
Speaker 1: by one man. Thank you. Yeah, there he goes. They
Speaker 1: always always a pleasure. My frien is a Chicago bear,
Speaker 1: a black bear, or brown beer. It's a brown ben codiac.
Speaker 1: But it don't matter. Oh goodness, all right, like tobacco,
Speaker 1: chew it up, spit it out right, Yeah exactly, I
Speaker 1: like it. Um. Wow, we've had a lot of fun.
Speaker 1: This has been fun and it's not a normal show,
Speaker 1: which is great. I like a little change up every
Speaker 1: now and again, had Spice Adams on, had Nate Newton
Speaker 1: on I feel like we haven't even gotten the top. Great.
Speaker 1: I love that. Now, just to wrap things up, biggest
Speaker 1: concern for the Cowboys offense this week? What would it
Speaker 1: be if there is a concern against the Bears defense,
Speaker 1: Because really I'm looking at it and my concerns are
Speaker 1: very little. I think this is the week the offense
Speaker 1: gets back on track. I think they run the football
Speaker 1: effectively with or without Ezekiel Elliott, and I think Dak
Speaker 1: Prescott find some open wide receivers too. I think this
Speaker 1: is a big week for the guys on the outside.
Speaker 1: I've been saying that for the last I think maybe
Speaker 1: two of the last four weeks. I've said that that
Speaker 1: I think this is the week that that this gets
Speaker 1: back on track. But I really do think this is
Speaker 1: an opportunity for it. So what's your biggest concern at
Speaker 1: the moment. Biggest concern and I'd say concern, I'd drop
Speaker 1: the word biggest from it, but I'll say concern. That's
Speaker 1: just going to be how quickly Dak Prescott in the
Speaker 1: passing game can get going. Because we talked about it earlier,
Speaker 1: or we spoke you know referenced it earlier. Run defense
Speaker 1: for the Bears virtually non existent. Past defense most certainly
Speaker 1: is there. You're going to have to account for Roquan Smith.
Speaker 1: You gotta account for Eddie Jackson, who has I think
Speaker 1: two or three interceptions already this season. That secondary can
Speaker 1: take the ball away and Roquan Smith is not I
Speaker 1: know this will go dogs. He's not only you know,
Speaker 1: downhill stop the run kind of guy. He can cover
Speaker 1: as well. So if in fact it's the situation when
Speaker 1: where Ezekiel Elliott can't go because of the knee and
Speaker 1: they're going to rest him for the next couple of
Speaker 1: weeks going into the or going into the Green Bay game,
Speaker 1: Tony Pollter, I believe he can get the job done
Speaker 1: carrying the ball, but what's his past protection going to
Speaker 1: look like in those packages where the Bears start to
Speaker 1: really throw that extra guy at Dak Prescott. So not
Speaker 1: a big concern, but most certainly a concern, and you're
Speaker 1: better account for rule Kuan Smith early and often agreed.
Speaker 1: I want to ensure that our team gets off to
Speaker 1: that Dallas gets off to a really good start, that
Speaker 1: they run the ball effectively, and that they don't get
Speaker 1: behind for whatever reason, our defense allows them to get ahead.
Speaker 1: Because the reason simply being, we saw Dak last week.
Speaker 1: He you know, didn't statistically didn't look bad, but we
Speaker 1: feel as if he could have made some throws better.
Speaker 1: He said he could have made some better throws. He
Speaker 1: had made some errand throws. Overly confident, I don't want
Speaker 1: him to be in a position right now where he
Speaker 1: has to throw the ball thirty plus times in the game.
Speaker 1: Reason not only because he's still getting back acclimated with
Speaker 1: this offense and getting his feet settled in, but also
Speaker 1: because this defense. Statistically, these guys take the ball away.
Speaker 1: To your point, they're tired. Fifth in the league in
Speaker 1: terms of okay. Along with that, these guys have the
Speaker 1: third best pass defense in the league. So let's not
Speaker 1: act as if these guys can't play some dog on defense,
Speaker 1: and let's not act like their rushing attack isn't solid.
Speaker 1: They're they're a legitimate threat if if, if the structure
Speaker 1: of the game is in there is in their favor.
Speaker 1: So let's not put ourselves in a position where we're behind,
Speaker 1: we're having to pass against one of the better pass
Speaker 1: defense in the league, and Dak still now worked all
Speaker 1: the way out yet and they can run the ball.
Speaker 1: Let's let's make sure that things are done right. I
Speaker 1: don't think it's to the extreme extent as as this
Speaker 1: comparison is going to look, but this defense reminds me
Speaker 1: a lot of the twenty twenty Cowboys defense, where it's
Speaker 1: a switching staff, it's a switching scheme. They've got a
Speaker 1: couple pieces that have been good previously and are still
Speaker 1: playing well, but they're just not playing lights out. And
Speaker 1: then that's kind of where they are, a couple of
Speaker 1: young pieces scattered throughout there as well, and then they
Speaker 1: find their their rhythm as the season goes along, and
Speaker 1: they do so by taking the football away. That was
Speaker 1: the identity of the Cowboys defense twenty twenty was Okay,
Speaker 1: we're finding way to force some turnovers late in the year.
Speaker 1: They're doing it a little bit early on. I'm not
Speaker 1: saying that they're a piece away like the Cowboys defense
Speaker 1: wasn't twenty twenty for being a part of something like
Speaker 1: the Cowboys happened now, but I will say it just
Speaker 1: that that young feeling, that that hungry feeling from their
Speaker 1: defense has that kind of thought process, especially in the
Speaker 1: secondary with the briskers of the world that are playing
Speaker 1: lights out. That's where I look, and I'm okay, they've
Speaker 1: got some guys there. Be careful if you're gonna throw
Speaker 1: it down the field, but that is gonna do it
Speaker 1: here for us on Talking Cowboys, gentlemen, that was a
Speaker 1: lot of fun. I like this show. That was fun. Man.
Speaker 1: I love doing it anyways. But man, anytime we can
Speaker 1: get a Spice Adams and a Nate Newton on here
Speaker 1: spices it up a little bit more showing the building.
Speaker 1: I like that. We'll be back tomorrow with say It
