Speaker 1: The following. He's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. This he's Talking Cowboys
Speaker 1: Screaming live from the Dallas Cowboys World Head Hours at
Speaker 1: the Star in Frisco. Here are Mickey Spagnola, Brian Broudis,
Speaker 1: Rob Phillips and Bill Jones and Hallelujah, it is a
Speaker 1: football Friday. I love football Fridays. We get you set
Speaker 1: for Cowboys Panthers on Sunday. And I love high school football,
Speaker 1: I love college football. I love the NFL. And we
Speaker 1: got a little dose of the NFL last night. We've
Speaker 1: got no Mickey again today, so he's out the whole week,
Speaker 1: but hopefully Mickey will be back on Monday. Bill Jones
Speaker 1: with Brian brought us and Rob Phillips, Rob, do you
Speaker 1: get some maroon on over there? A little bit of
Speaker 1: a touch of maroon? It's a big aggie weekend, isn't it?
Speaker 1: Is it? I mean, yeah, they're hosting the Clemson Tigers.
Speaker 1: We're on game day. That's pretty cool. Yeah, and then
Speaker 1: once kickoff starts, I don't know how cool it's gonna be.
Speaker 1: So do you do you wish that the Cowboys were
Speaker 1: playing at home this weekend, so you could make it
Speaker 1: down to Aggie Land and take in that game on Saturday.
Speaker 1: If the Cowboys were at home, I would be there
Speaker 1: on Saturday. You would be Yes, I would. I would
Speaker 1: pay for Aggie but kicking that we're about to get
Speaker 1: on Saturday night. But you know what, you sound just
Speaker 1: like me watching LSU play. Oh, I'm the worst when
Speaker 1: it comes to my team, and I always always feel
Speaker 1: something disastrous as now. Oh, I've always liked that. My
Speaker 1: brother in law give us me who's a Texas Tech fan,
Speaker 1: so he prepared every week to lose. Yeah, prepared to
Speaker 1: prepared to scored sixty. And he always gives me a
Speaker 1: hard time because I always say, it doesn't matter. We're
Speaker 1: playing Florida Atlantic. Let's doing You know, we got Lane
Speaker 1: Kiffin over there. You know we may not be able
Speaker 1: to handle this one. You know, I think it could
Speaker 1: go either way. We got Chip Kelly and UCLA by
Speaker 1: the way, you got the Bruins. Yeah, you know they
Speaker 1: didn't look very good the other day playing. But yeah,
Speaker 1: but he's gonna be a tough game. Yeah you got through,
Speaker 1: you know, mind you so much like Lou Holtz. Lou
Speaker 1: Holtz used to be. You know, they played Navy and
Speaker 1: they'd beaten Navy like forty consecutive year. This is one
Speaker 1: of the best Navy teams I've ever Yeah, lou you
Speaker 1: lost him in forty years. Who's ls you got? They
Speaker 1: met nobody Southwest Scott, I mean nobody because it's a
Speaker 1: short week. Yeah, we're one of the directional Louisiana. Southeast Louisiana,
Speaker 1: South Southeast Louisiana's one of that. Yeah. Southwest Louisiana is
Speaker 1: now Louisiana. Yeah. Yeah, So Southeastern Louisia got one of them.
Speaker 1: You got MacNeice or somebody. We have Southeastern Louisiana. We
Speaker 1: got the name. We got Auburn next week, all right,
Speaker 1: we got Cowboys and Panthers. Did y'all watch much of
Speaker 1: the Eagles last night? First? I kind of kept a
Speaker 1: little bit of an eye on it, just up until
Speaker 1: the half, and then I lost interest after that, and
Speaker 1: then I can't. It's funny because I took that for you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I went to sleep and I woke up just in
Speaker 1: time to watch the final series. Yea, the final drop.
Speaker 1: You need to watch that game. And it was crazy
Speaker 1: because I'm thinking, come on, Steve star kissing you can
Speaker 1: call better plays than this, and no he can't. So
Speaker 1: the Falcons got what they deserved at the end of
Speaker 1: the game. You know that, you just basically I got
Speaker 1: home about the same time. Maybe they were throwing for
Speaker 1: the end zone. Yeah, if you don't have a good plan,
Speaker 1: if you don't have a good plan in the red zone,
Speaker 1: then you're gonna probably have problems and probably lose games.
Speaker 1: And that happened to Atlanta. It's it's a shame that
Speaker 1: they didn't learn their lesson, but they they didn't. That's
Speaker 1: why they took an ll. I tuned out after thirteen
Speaker 1: penalties in the first half, and I kind of kicked
Speaker 1: myself a little bit because I didn't think we'd see
Speaker 1: the Philly Special. Ever again, I didn't. I didn't think
Speaker 1: was it the same Philly Special? The same but it
Speaker 1: was more like the Brady play, the pass play, the
Speaker 1: Patriot's head in the Super Bowl. It was. I just
Speaker 1: I never thought Nick Foles would catch another pass in
Speaker 1: his Eagles career. I thought, you know, everybody would have
Speaker 1: that scouted. But apparently, if I want to ask you this,
Speaker 1: so you feel, just watching what you've seen, you feel
Speaker 1: we were pretty I think we were all talking about
Speaker 1: Philly being the best team in the division, Philly being
Speaker 1: the team that you have to kind of watch. You know,
Speaker 1: Dallas will be behind Philly. You know, do you feel
Speaker 1: a second, who do we pick yesterday? No, No, I'm
Speaker 1: talking about I'm asking Rob and myself here. I'm just
Speaker 1: kind of looking at Rob saying that right now. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean they struggled to move the football last night.
Speaker 1: Kind of the preseason, they had that problem moving the
Speaker 1: ball in the preseason. You said that, and Chris Collinsworth
Speaker 1: said that last night. Um, the questions. You know, Falls
Speaker 1: obviously is a folk hero there now. But well they
Speaker 1: maybe not now. I mean because the Lusters come off
Speaker 1: that super Blay did they didn't win last night? Started
Speaker 1: the Lusters come off a little bit. The boot Birds
Speaker 1: came out of half. They were going them off the
Speaker 1: field at halftime. You know, if Carson Wentz is gonna
Speaker 1: need some time to get back, That's that's interesting. That's
Speaker 1: what I'm thinking. Maybe, you know, I was My I
Speaker 1: thought was, okay, that you're gonna get Carson Wentz back.
Speaker 1: It's not going to be one of these three or
Speaker 1: four game things. You're gonna you know, have him back
Speaker 1: in a couple of weeks. But you know, the Eagles
Speaker 1: very well could be a team that offensively, Now, defensively
Speaker 1: they're really good. Yeah, they are good defensively, but you know, offensively,
Speaker 1: I mean, that was that's a lot like what we've
Speaker 1: seen in the preseason from them. And if Nick Foles,
Speaker 1: you know, if you're a Cowboy fan, you got to
Speaker 1: hope that you know, last night could have been a
Speaker 1: loss for them, and it wasn't. But if Nick Foles
Speaker 1: has to continue playing only averages like four yards a throw,
Speaker 1: then you know, maybe you feel pretty good about you know, Dallas,
Speaker 1: I just didn't. I said, yes, I just don't see
Speaker 1: Philadelphia running away with this thing like they did last year.
Speaker 1: I don't see them rolling off. And that was the
Speaker 1: way I picked. That's one of the reasons I picked
Speaker 1: Dallas yesterday is because I just don't think Philadelphia is
Speaker 1: I like the way they've constructed their roster and so forth.
Speaker 1: But you know, even you know, al Shan Jeffrey's coming
Speaker 1: off his injury or surgery or whatever he had, they
Speaker 1: didn't have him last night. They're things are not going
Speaker 1: to fall into place like they did. They're going to
Speaker 1: have to really scram But when they had injuries last year,
Speaker 1: Foles stepped up his game. We saw more what Nick
Speaker 1: Foles is really like I think last night. Yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 1: And you know, now, how long are they going to
Speaker 1: be without wins? I mean that injury occurred and it
Speaker 1: was not your typical ACL injury. No, and it happened
Speaker 1: very late in the season, and you know they may
Speaker 1: not have him for another month. It knows they're not
Speaker 1: going to sneak up on anybody either. And Cowboys kind
Speaker 1: of found that out last year coming off thirteen wins,
Speaker 1: that everybody's gunning for you. It is a first place
Speaker 1: schedule for them this year as opposed to absolutely the
Speaker 1: third and fourth a year ago. Sure. Yeah, it's going
Speaker 1: to be more difficult for sure. All is hard to
Speaker 1: maintain the NFCS. There's rarely you got back to back champs. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think if you're a Cowboy fan, you have to
Speaker 1: feel a little bit better about the situation. You know
Speaker 1: that that means Dallas is going to have to go
Speaker 1: out and take care of their business too. Yeah, this
Speaker 1: first month we talked about it. Yeah, you can't go
Speaker 1: to Caroline and flop around and figure out, you know,
Speaker 1: lose the game by doing some stupid You know, you
Speaker 1: have to do better. If Caroline's gonna beat you, make
Speaker 1: Carolina beat you because their players are better. Don't do
Speaker 1: anything stupid to cost you this game. So we'll break
Speaker 1: down further and get our final thoughts on Cowboys Panthers
Speaker 1: over the course of the next hour. Here when you
Speaker 1: look at the Cowboys and what's going on with this
Speaker 1: team right now? Today, Travis Frederick talked for the first
Speaker 1: time yesterday since the announcement came out a little over
Speaker 1: two weeks ago of the gee and bar a syndrome.
Speaker 1: After hearing him talk, any I don't know that it
Speaker 1: cleared up anything because he didn't know and the doctors
Speaker 1: don't know what's going on with him right Well, that
Speaker 1: is true, and that's gonna I think the way it's
Speaker 1: going to continue to roll. They've they've we talked about
Speaker 1: this um. They they're keeping him on the active list
Speaker 1: and if you know, if things approve in the next three,
Speaker 1: four or five weeks and you can kind of get
Speaker 1: things go in the right direction for him. As far
Speaker 1: as getting back on the practice field, well, that was
Speaker 1: a gamble that was worth and I and I don't
Speaker 1: mean to use the word gamble in like they're gambling
Speaker 1: with his health. I mean they're gambling that, you know.
Speaker 1: And listen to him talk and listen to him on
Speaker 1: the Bin and Skin show, you know, he feels like
Speaker 1: he felt like, excuse me, that he caught this early
Speaker 1: enough that they feel like that they can they could
Speaker 1: treat this and he can get some of his strength
Speaker 1: back and work his way back and there's no paralysis
Speaker 1: and things like that. There's still some loss of feeling
Speaker 1: and things like that, but they he at least feels
Speaker 1: positive that, hey, we caught this at the right time.
Speaker 1: Now let's see if the treatments and all that will
Speaker 1: take take hold. And that's what's great for his long
Speaker 1: term health is that, like you said, that potential for
Speaker 1: paralysis the longer you wait, that's great prognosis long term
Speaker 1: for him. Now it's the question of it. They're not
Speaker 1: going to rush him back, so how long does it take.
Speaker 1: He has no idea at this point, and I don't
Speaker 1: think the Cowboys do either. I mean, he said he's
Speaker 1: still got some numbness in his hands and his feet,
Speaker 1: and but he is going to progress to some weightlifting,
Speaker 1: which is, which is good. He's he's doing some active things.
Speaker 1: There's just no way to tell right now. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: really he may not know exactly what he can do
Speaker 1: until he is able to do some physical exertion. Yea.
Speaker 1: On that level, you know, when you're talking about him
Speaker 1: eventually getting back to being an NFL player, obviously it's
Speaker 1: a far beyond what we have to do on a
Speaker 1: base right. This is a tough game. It's tough for
Speaker 1: any games for him to miss for the Cowboys because
Speaker 1: what he means to the team and you know, and
Speaker 1: into the scheme. But when you talk about how this
Speaker 1: game could very well hinge, you know, and I just
Speaker 1: look at matchups and if you know, if if Connor
Speaker 1: Williams and Joe Looney and I don't worry much about
Speaker 1: Zack Martin. I think Zach Martin holds up fine. I
Speaker 1: just worry about Okay, can Joe Looney? You know. And
Speaker 1: they're not gonna win every snap they're him and Connor
Speaker 1: Williams are not gonna win every snap against short. They're
Speaker 1: not gonna win every snap against Luke Keikley. But you
Speaker 1: don't need them to lose at key point in time
Speaker 1: if it's a key down in distance if it's a
Speaker 1: key third one, or it's a key third and two,
Speaker 1: or it's a key third and seven where they're trying
Speaker 1: to you know, they have a good play call, but
Speaker 1: all of a sudden they give up inside pressure and
Speaker 1: guy's open. Cole Beasley's open, but they can't get him
Speaker 1: the ball. You know, don't don't expect these guys to
Speaker 1: win every snap, but I mean, I'm talking about Looney
Speaker 1: and Williams, but they just they don't need to lose
Speaker 1: every snap. That's that would be that would be devastating
Speaker 1: to this offense if that happens. You know, when you
Speaker 1: saw Connor Williams and the short sample against Geno Atkins
Speaker 1: in the pre season, what did you think and how
Speaker 1: does that compare with what he faces against It's gonna
Speaker 1: be a test for him. This is gonna be a
Speaker 1: test because what we've always talked about with Connor Williams,
Speaker 1: it wasn't the athletic ability or the mental capability. Those
Speaker 1: things are fine. Where he's going to struggle as he's
Speaker 1: gonna when he struggles against power. That's when he deals
Speaker 1: with a guy that's got some quickness, that has some power. Now,
Speaker 1: The problem is, you know, you have Joe Looney on
Speaker 1: the other side of him. That's he He's trying to think, Okay,
Speaker 1: what do I have to do in this game? Oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, you got Luke Keickley over there. I gotta
Speaker 1: find you know, I gotta block him. I think, No,
Speaker 1: Thomas Davis really hurts helps the Cowboys here by the way,
Speaker 1: him being suspended, you know, top linebacker for sure. But
Speaker 1: but Luke keik we still I just worry about if
Speaker 1: you said it was Frederick playing the center, you could
Speaker 1: then say, Okay, he's gonna be okay because he knows,
Speaker 1: he knows how to get through this. He could not
Speaker 1: only do his assignment, but he can do your assignment too.
Speaker 1: And I wonder if that might be just a little
Speaker 1: bit too much for Joe Looney to have to do
Speaker 1: his assignment and maybe help a little bit. But to
Speaker 1: answer your question, though, it's it's the power, it's the quickness.
Speaker 1: That's the things that tend to throw Connor Williams off.
Speaker 1: He'll learn, he'll get stronger, he'll get better, and as
Speaker 1: the game wears on, you know, he very well. He
Speaker 1: could get in a situation where every snap he's winning,
Speaker 1: and that would be a great thing for the Cowboys
Speaker 1: because you know, Kauan short, he could wreck their running game,
Speaker 1: he could wreck their passing game if if, if, in fact,
Speaker 1: he gets on a roll and you put that guy
Speaker 1: that under tackle and he's inside on Dak Prescott before
Speaker 1: you note, I asked Zach Martin about the transition that
Speaker 1: he made as a rookie and what Connor made is
Speaker 1: making this year tackle left tackle to guard in the NFL,
Speaker 1: and he just said it simply, It's just things happen.
Speaker 1: Quicker guys are up on you faster inside, and so
Speaker 1: we see Connor's a great athlete. He is terrific. I
Speaker 1: got a great feat. But yeah, you know, you got
Speaker 1: big defensive lineman coming at you quickly, and you've got
Speaker 1: to be able to set and have your leverage and
Speaker 1: be able to hold you hold your ground, and yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that might be a working I hesitate to make
Speaker 1: the comparisons though, between Connor Williams and Zach Martin, just
Speaker 1: just based on what they did in college too, because
Speaker 1: Zach was a four year guy, right, he was okay.
Speaker 1: Connor Williams was a three year he and he missed
Speaker 1: a lot of time his last year, he's facing Big
Speaker 1: twelve defenses, and and I know the reputation about the
Speaker 1: Big twelve, but I'm not talking about the personnel so
Speaker 1: much as the scheme in the Big twelve as compared,
Speaker 1: it doesn't duplicate what he faces in the NFL. Zack
Speaker 1: Martin at Notre Dame over a four year career, saw
Speaker 1: a little bit more of that. He was better prepared
Speaker 1: for starting day one in the NFL from his college experience,
Speaker 1: I think than Connor Williams. Yeah, you know, this is
Speaker 1: clearly a plug and play player, though right exactly, I'm
Speaker 1: not saying he shouldn't be in he is. He is
Speaker 1: a plug and play player, and you know that's the
Speaker 1: thing there. This team has had great success of taking
Speaker 1: lineman that are first round guys on their board and
Speaker 1: drafting them and then you know, and making it work.
Speaker 1: So uh, you know, I'm I just look at that.
Speaker 1: I think there's really some really good matchups throughout. But
Speaker 1: I think their matchups that both Carolina and Dallas can
Speaker 1: win against each other. You say, Okay, cross that off,
Speaker 1: cross that off, cross that off. You know a better
Speaker 1: Jalen Smith. Now what we've seen with Jalen Smith is
Speaker 1: a good matchup if you're talking about what you're having
Speaker 1: to do with the running backs with Christian McCaffrey. There,
Speaker 1: if you had last year's Jalen Smith playing against Christian
Speaker 1: McCaffrey early in the season, you would have been like, Okay,
Speaker 1: Dallas is going to lose this matchup, right totally, you know.
Speaker 1: And movement, yeah, you got you know, and you know,
Speaker 1: let's see. I mean, Layton vander Esch has been practicing
Speaker 1: quite a bit now. I mean, they they're getting him involved.
Speaker 1: Can you play him encourage? That's one of his strengths.
Speaker 1: You know. Damien Wilson has been really good in training camp.
Speaker 1: They're blitzing him now and doing things with him. We
Speaker 1: saw it in the in the Texans game. There's things
Speaker 1: you could do with these these players. I think there's
Speaker 1: just more okay, wash wash wash. You know, you could
Speaker 1: kind of go through and just say, boy, good team,
Speaker 1: good team, good team. Yeah, that kind of way. But
Speaker 1: then there's some things you could say, Okay, well, now
Speaker 1: you've got a All Pro Pro Bowl defensive tackle, you know,
Speaker 1: going up against a rookie who tends to struggle when
Speaker 1: he does struggle, you know, one of short strength is
Speaker 1: Connor William's weakness. So that's if it comes down to
Speaker 1: one or two, and maybe Connor Williams will shine in
Speaker 1: this thing. Maybe Kawan Short will struggle and he won't
Speaker 1: be able to get all blocks and he won't be
Speaker 1: able to use this quickness. But if you just look
Speaker 1: at if you just look at position by position by position,
Speaker 1: that's the one that really catches my eye. And then
Speaker 1: you look at the next one and you say, okay,
Speaker 1: oh wait, you don't have your all pro center, but
Speaker 1: you have a guid that's a capable backup. In any
Speaker 1: other week he might be okay, But now you're thinking
Speaker 1: about Luke Keikley on the other side, and now Luke
Speaker 1: Keikley running sideline. Sign if you don't get somebody to
Speaker 1: Luke Keikley, we know he can make every single tackle.
Speaker 1: But I know that Travis Frederick can get to Luke Keikley.
Speaker 1: I don't know if Joe Looney can't get to Luke
Speaker 1: Keikley on a regular basis. When you see done Terry Poe, okay,
Speaker 1: and his effect on this Carolina defense relates to, Okay,
Speaker 1: you got Keikley behind him, Yeah, okay, And when he
Speaker 1: was at Atlanta, he had fast linebackers behind him. Now
Speaker 1: he was a three four nose tack in Kansas City, right,
Speaker 1: he has from a Carolina perspective, he has a very
Speaker 1: positive effect I think on their defense and what getting
Speaker 1: their playmakers in position to continue. There's no question. There's
Speaker 1: no question about that. And I mean it's the you know,
Speaker 1: I think that, you know, to me, it's this is
Speaker 1: gonna come down. And I'm writing this for Dallas Cowboys
Speaker 1: dot Com today for the Cowboys because if it was
Speaker 1: Travis Frederick, if Travis Fernick was in there, that would
Speaker 1: be one of my wash you know, that'll be a wash.
Speaker 1: You know. Now I can't say wash, you know, because
Speaker 1: I'm thinking advantage Carolina, Advantage Carolina. And what's the one
Speaker 1: thing that Dallas wants to do. Dallas wants to run
Speaker 1: the football. I just worry, My biggest, biggest, biggest, biggest
Speaker 1: worry in this game is a Denver situation where all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, it's eight carries for eight yards, can't
Speaker 1: run the ball and everything, and all of a sudden
Speaker 1: they're making maybe they're making plays on your defense, and
Speaker 1: now you're in the whole fourteen nothing and you're having
Speaker 1: to throw your way out of that. You know, that's
Speaker 1: that's that would be what would worry me when you
Speaker 1: play Carolina. Carolina's secondary is not as good, which might
Speaker 1: help you. That's that might I mean, Denver secondary lit
Speaker 1: it up. They were good. But but we're but if
Speaker 1: you cannot and we knew going in they were good, yeah,
Speaker 1: if you cannot do we didn't want to hear about
Speaker 1: how good they are. Oh that's true, right, but he
Speaker 1: probably should have listened. But that's that's where hitting some
Speaker 1: plays in the passing game early can help back things
Speaker 1: off a little bit. But then again, now let's talk
Speaker 1: about Okay, Carolina's secondary, Dallas receivers. Who you hanging your
Speaker 1: hat on? And that Dallas. That's and that's what I'm
Speaker 1: most anxious to find out. It's finally you're hanging your
Speaker 1: hat on, right, That's what I want to see. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we finally, let's see a rotation. Let's see, you know,
Speaker 1: who can step up and make plays. It's Friday before
Speaker 1: the Sunday getting You mean, Witton's not gonna walk through
Speaker 1: that door. No, he's got a Monday night game. He's prepping,
Speaker 1: he's got one of those Monday night games. I think
Speaker 1: he's got Jets Jets Detroit. Probably is he doing Rams Raiders.
Speaker 1: I'm no, no, no, no, he'll do the first one,
Speaker 1: the first one, you know. I think it's such a
Speaker 1: The Rams Raiders is a much better It is a
Speaker 1: better game, and you got Gruden there. Yeah. See, I
Speaker 1: just think you put your number one team on the
Speaker 1: Gruden game because although I realize that audience wise, I
Speaker 1: think the Rams Raider game will be a better game myself. Yeah.
Speaker 1: If I was not I was calling the shots, I'd
Speaker 1: say her make the East Coast, stay up later and
Speaker 1: put your number one. I love Mike McGan. Mike mckegnan
Speaker 1: at the general manage of the Jets is a dear friend.
Speaker 1: I love you, Michael, but I'm not interested in watching

Speaker 1: available for the home opener on a week from Sunday,
Speaker 1: Sunday Night Football. That crew that was doing last night's
Speaker 1: game will be at at and T Stadium a week
Speaker 1: from Sunday with that New York Football giants. I did
Speaker 1: say they were bad. I just said no, no, no,
Speaker 1: we're they're bad. I'm just a lot of people kind
Speaker 1: of complaining crew. Chris collins Worth will draw that al
Speaker 1: I love AlCH my all Michaels to me, I love
Speaker 1: Al Michaels. Not just from the nineteen eighty hockey game
Speaker 1: with him and can drive and call in the game,
Speaker 1: but I love I love Al Michaels. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: but I just is Chris Collinsworth was beating people down.
Speaker 1: I didn't I don't listen. I didn't watch enough to
Speaker 1: catch it. I do know. There's a lot got some feedback.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of Collinsworth hate out there. I feel like,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, from the average viewer, and I've always kind
Speaker 1: of enjoyed him. But he's not for everybody, apparently, I
Speaker 1: don't know why, kind of just kind of kind of
Speaker 1: a WTF type attitude sort of rubs people the wrong way,
Speaker 1: like Starkey Joe snarky snarky Joe buck of the Some
Speaker 1: of the time you wonder if he's just stirring it up, yeah, exactly,
Speaker 1: rather than And I've heard some stories. In fact, there's
Speaker 1: a um I heard a story yesterday. I'm not going
Speaker 1: to say who told me the story about New York
Speaker 1: Times about to tell who that guy. I heard a
Speaker 1: story early on in collinsworth career when he was in
Speaker 1: a three man booth and the conversation was going on
Speaker 1: before the game started about certain players, and then they
Speaker 1: get on the air and Collinsworth all of a sudden
Speaker 1: is throwing out a totally different opinion about that player
Speaker 1: than what he was saying before the game started. But
Speaker 1: it was just in the interest of creating good TV.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what though, that doesn't sound not not familiar,
Speaker 1: because real quickly Randy Galloway did the same thing. A
Speaker 1: local legendary broadcaster here Galloway. One time I was on
Speaker 1: the air, and this one the first time. Randy was
Speaker 1: one of the reasons why I got into this business.
Speaker 1: This site went from scouting to media. Him and John
Speaker 1: Lund who's out in San Francisco now, and Randy goes,
Speaker 1: he goes, brought us watch this. I'm gonna trade Dez
Speaker 1: Bryant and cut Tony Romo and that's Randy's voice, and
Speaker 1: I go, you can't do that's irresponsible. He goes to
Speaker 1: watch next thing. I know he did it. He didn't
Speaker 1: believe it, but he did it. In the phones lit up,
Speaker 1: I mean, and they did a whole They did four
Speaker 1: hours of radio because just just based on watch me
Speaker 1: trade Dez Bryant, I'm getting rid of him, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: I can't do that's your responsible. It got to the
Speaker 1: point where Steven Jones actually had to comment that you
Speaker 1: know that it was that that they weren't gonna they
Speaker 1: weren't going to get rid of des Brian. Well, you
Speaker 1: know this is several severer years ago earlier. Yeah, there
Speaker 1: are people that will do radio or do TV. I
Speaker 1: think did the Skip Bayliss and those guys. I think
Speaker 1: that half the things they say. They don't believe. They've
Speaker 1: kind of changed television in a way because it's like
Speaker 1: you take this side, and I'll take this side. Let's
Speaker 1: just yell at each other even though we got well.
Speaker 1: And the other thing that's happened now because of social
Speaker 1: media and the instant news cycle um is ESPN or
Speaker 1: Fox Sports, CBA, whoever, whatever website it is, they then
Speaker 1: take what is said by a commentator and they turn
Speaker 1: it into a headline that gets tweeted and retweeted, and
Speaker 1: all of a sudden it becomes a story when it
Speaker 1: had no have you have you know? So one of
Speaker 1: the funniest things I've seen ESPN do is they will
Speaker 1: have an insider say something and they will have another
Speaker 1: ESPN insider or refute what that just said. How does
Speaker 1: that happen? It's like me going, Rob puts out Jason
Speaker 1: Garrett said today, Rob Jason Garrett did not say that today,
Speaker 1: or like source reports, and then they come back with
Speaker 1: their own sources from their own colleagues and saying, well,
Speaker 1: my sources are saying something different. It's the worldwide leader, man,
Speaker 1: They're they're a big operation, all right. It's funny, it's funny.
Speaker 1: Eight eight eight eight five five two two ninety seven.
Speaker 1: Give us a call and give us your thoughts on
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen on Sunday in the Carolinas in Charlotte
Speaker 1: A three twenty five kickoff. Brian just posted the question
Speaker 1: what do you think this game is gonna? What do
Speaker 1: you think this game is gonna? Hinge on? Well, he
Speaker 1: spoke to it in the first segment. I agree with him.
Speaker 1: Can they block the interior of the Panthers defensive line?
Speaker 1: And then conversely, with all the injuries you mentioned it
Speaker 1: as well, I was going, yep, can de Marcus Lawrence?
Speaker 1: Can Randy Gregory? Can these quicker, revamped tackles they've got
Speaker 1: in the middle? With Lee Collins coming back, can they
Speaker 1: feast as well? And so who's gonna win more upfront?
Speaker 1: And the thing that I keep going back to that
Speaker 1: I've been fascinated with since camp started is which which
Speaker 1: these wide receivers for the Cowboys are gonna step up?
Speaker 1: Tight ends as well? Um? And just who who's who
Speaker 1: is dat gonna hang his hat on week to week?
Speaker 1: And maybe it's not gonna be a week to week thing.
Speaker 1: It's gonna change depending on matchups, But I just go
Speaker 1: down the list of these receivers and they've all got
Speaker 1: something to prove. I mean, Tavon kind of washed out
Speaker 1: of the Rams. Chip on the shoulder, that's been the
Speaker 1: story of the week. You go on my local sports
Speaker 1: guest on CBS eleven, the way you guys, you guys
Speaker 1: love to do that. I could tell by the line
Speaker 1: of questioning. But you know, Jason, the attitude of the team.
Speaker 1: Do you feel like I can't stand and I'm and
Speaker 1: I'm going, okay, I know what tonight ad to six
Speaker 1: in ten, I'm gonna get There's been three straight days
Speaker 1: now where I've had to do stories on players saying
Speaker 1: that they've got a chip on the shoulder. It was
Speaker 1: Tavon on Tuesday talking about all the wide receivers we
Speaker 1: all got a chip on our shoulder. And on Wednesday
Speaker 1: it was Zeke talking saying he's got a chip on
Speaker 1: his shoulder and we'll do your run better with a
Speaker 1: chip on your shoulder, Zeke, or find out. And then
Speaker 1: yesterday dak Is asked about everybody having a chip on
Speaker 1: their shoulder something. Is that something when you put on
Speaker 1: a tide, does it automatically come into chip on it?
Speaker 1: The only guy that's got a chip on his shoulder
Speaker 1: literally is Anthony Brown's right. He's got a tattoo with
Speaker 1: a chip on his shoulder. Yeah, I think it's a ruffles,
Speaker 1: though he's got several probably have bone chips on the
Speaker 1: should exactly. Yeah. I think with Zeke, I think it's
Speaker 1: definitely legitimate. Given everything he's been through last year. I
Speaker 1: think you know what it means, a chip on his shoulder.
Speaker 1: Do you know where it started? Do you have any idea? No,
Speaker 1: I'm sure you're gonna tell us. Bill Well, I had
Speaker 1: to look it up, did it? Oh? You got one?
Speaker 1: I looked it up if you if you check Wikipedia, Um,
Speaker 1: it goes back. Well, is this for the story? You
Speaker 1: had to do research? I said, I'm sick of doing
Speaker 1: a story on the chip on the shoulder. What does
Speaker 1: it even mean? I didn't even know. So I did
Speaker 1: a Google search. Yeah, and so I looked it up
Speaker 1: our Wikipedia in North America. It goes back to the
Speaker 1: early eighteen hundreds and apparently the carrion stuff. Many, Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's some of that. It's too long. I just picked
Speaker 1: out one little bit that worked for me. Of course
Speaker 1: you did. There was some newspaper called the New York
Speaker 1: Democrat or something like that. Of course it was a
Speaker 1: Democrat making up probably a New York some newspaper story
Speaker 1: talking about two churlish boys. I don't even know what
Speaker 1: churlish means, but anyway that we're gonna fight, they were
Speaker 1: gonna scrap. And one of them said and put a
Speaker 1: chip on his shoulder and challenge the other boy to
Speaker 1: knock the chip off his shoulder, and that way he
Speaker 1: could punch him. And so that's what the cowboys are doing.
Speaker 1: They put a chip on their shoulder so that they
Speaker 1: can challenge Luke Keickley and the Panthers and they can
Speaker 1: hit him with a hard right cross. Okay, here's here's
Speaker 1: where Bill will remember this. There was a guy named
Speaker 1: Robert Conrad, right, the actor. He used to put a
Speaker 1: battery on his shoulder and he's like, I dare you
Speaker 1: to knock this sow. That was his That was his bit.
Speaker 1: You can look it up Robert Conrad. Yeah, So does
Speaker 1: does the chip on the shoulder? Is that going to
Speaker 1: be the difference in this game? You know what, You're right,
Speaker 1: it's probably the most cliche thing we have in our language.
Speaker 1: But I mean, if you go down this list of receivers,
Speaker 1: they do have something to prove. There's the biggest chip
Speaker 1: on their shoulder the receivers. I think Tavon does. Probably
Speaker 1: Tavon he did kind of wash out of LA He
Speaker 1: felt like he didn't get enough opportunity there last year.
Speaker 1: Terence Williams, we know what he's been dealing with in
Speaker 1: the off season as well as the foot injury. Alan
Speaker 1: hearn says he's got to stay healthy and prove that
Speaker 1: he can be a thousand yard receiver in this league.
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley's production was cutting half last year. About Deonte
Speaker 1: Thompson's been a couple of different places, hasn't been able
Speaker 1: to stick. And Michael Gallups a rookie trying to show
Speaker 1: what he can do. So I think I think the
Speaker 1: chip on the shoulder theory is valid. Now. The difference
Speaker 1: is when you line up on Sunday, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: You still have to go execute. All that stuff's great,
Speaker 1: but you still gotta be better than the other guy.
Speaker 1: And we're gonna find out. Can they take advantage of
Speaker 1: a Panther secondary where if you had to show one
Speaker 1: weakness in the defense for Carolina, it's that one. Well,
Speaker 1: I think you're right there, Rob. I mean this this game.
Speaker 1: As much as we want to talk about Dallas's ability
Speaker 1: to run the football, you know, if you go if
Speaker 1: they do run the football and it turns into some
Speaker 1: play action stuff. I've said all along, I kind of
Speaker 1: feel like, dude, we're gonna see them try and take
Speaker 1: advantage of Dante Jackson. You know, it's some double moves
Speaker 1: and things. They're gonna see how Yeah, we're gonna see
Speaker 1: how gress I trust me, I've watched him play, and
Speaker 1: you'll run double moves on him. You'll either get him
Speaker 1: to tackle you, to hold you, whatever he has to do.
Speaker 1: But I do against Calvin Ridley, remember anything now, anything
Speaker 1: of note. He he was a guy in an LSU
Speaker 1: that played a little bit of corner. He played a
Speaker 1: little of safety. Never thought he was a very good
Speaker 1: zone player. You know, everything about him was man if
Speaker 1: he could play man. And that's why again the aggressiveness,
Speaker 1: I feel like you have to kind of to see
Speaker 1: about where he's at. But they see That's the other
Speaker 1: thing about the Carolina defense is they signed Ross Cockrell
Speaker 1: in free agency right out, who was with the Giants.
Speaker 1: Had three picks last year for the Giants, he got hurt,
Speaker 1: and so I don't know if he was gonna be
Speaker 1: kind of the stop gap until the second round. It
Speaker 1: got ready. He got ready, but the second round rookie
Speaker 1: is starting instead. Well, if you know, Dallas needs to
Speaker 1: take advantage of the second there's no Josh Norman plan
Speaker 1: back there for them. And we talk about the front seven.
Speaker 1: It's good, but that back end, if they can get
Speaker 1: some things going, it gets some guys open. They they
Speaker 1: they we've got to figure this out. Though. They're gonna
Speaker 1: dress six receivers for this game, you know, and now, okay,
Speaker 1: where does that do they do they only dress two
Speaker 1: tight ends? Do they dress? You know? I mean they're
Speaker 1: gonna you dressing six receivers and stuff exactly. So you
Speaker 1: have to look at a lot of different ways of
Speaker 1: how they're gonna do this. But all six of these
Speaker 1: receivers are gonna play at certain times in this games.
Speaker 1: Scott Lenahan said, all year you could see maybe as
Speaker 1: many as six, at least four or five. So because
Speaker 1: they all they all kind of bring something different to
Speaker 1: the table. I know, Jason Garrett said, they're not. I
Speaker 1: hope they're good enough. Yeah, I hope it's not just
Speaker 1: you know, I hope it's not one of those things.
Speaker 1: And maybe it turns into they figure out after dressing
Speaker 1: six by week four, maybe they think we only need
Speaker 1: to dress five, We only need to dress four, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean, or maybe they maybe they say, hey, all
Speaker 1: six are part of what we do, and and then
Speaker 1: defenses had they know, well, that's what I'm saying, that
Speaker 1: they keep defenses guessing that, Okay, which six are gonna
Speaker 1: be or which ones are they going to use this week? Right,
Speaker 1: and then they make a decision on game day that
Speaker 1: they're not using one of them. Okay, all right, let's
Speaker 1: go to Ruben in Austin here on Talking Cowboys. Hello Ruben, Hey,
Speaker 1: good morning, Bill. How are you good? Good? Hey, Well,
Speaker 1: thank you for taking my call. I just wanted to say, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm not really worried about the wide receiver position. I
Speaker 1: think what we saw Dak play without Dez a year
Speaker 1: ago or whatever it was, if he missed those three games,
Speaker 1: he had a really good game. I think we're gonna
Speaker 1: miss Witten more with a tight end position than we
Speaker 1: will with the de in the wide receiver. But my
Speaker 1: real question is I called in last year and I
Speaker 1: was really concerned about the one technique I wanted us
Speaker 1: to draft beat A Veya, but he went way before Sure.
Speaker 1: So my question is this, how good do you feel
Speaker 1: about our defensive tackle position? I mean, I know some
Speaker 1: guys stepped up in the off season and a training camp,
Speaker 1: but do you feel that is there anybody out there
Speaker 1: that we should acquire to beat that up a little
Speaker 1: bit more? Or do you think we're okay? All right? Great, Ruben.
Speaker 1: And that leads to what I wanted to talk about too,
Speaker 1: this defensive line going up against thee. What is an
Speaker 1: injury plague Carolina offensive line? They're missing Matt Khalil at
Speaker 1: left tackle, who's been placed on IR after arthroscopic knee surgery.
Speaker 1: Menu Silatolu, who was a part time starter, only started
Speaker 1: three games last year. They were counting on him to
Speaker 1: replace Andrew Norwell at left guards. Norwell signed a huge
Speaker 1: contract for Jacksonville. He's been hobbled as well, although he
Speaker 1: is practicing and he's hoping to play. Darryl Williams, the
Speaker 1: right tackle, dislocated a kneecap, had an MCL injury early
Speaker 1: in training camp. He's back practicing. They're hoping that he
Speaker 1: can play. Too, sure, So it's they're pretty decimated on
Speaker 1: their defensive line. So Canon Antoine Wood Scanamliitue Collins. We
Speaker 1: don't know where Collins is physically right now. Yeah, we've
Speaker 1: noticed though, and it happens if you've been watching the
Speaker 1: college games as well. These early season in games, the
Speaker 1: conditioning of the players seems to be a little off.
Speaker 1: And I don't mean that that they're out of shape,
Speaker 1: but you're now you're playing. Instead of just playing ten
Speaker 1: or fifteen plays, you're playing thirty forty fifty plays. I
Speaker 1: just can't in my mind. I'm thinking about the LSU
Speaker 1: Miami game. You think about young kids playing and everybody's
Speaker 1: on the field cramping this, that and the other. And
Speaker 1: it happened last night a little bit in that game
Speaker 1: with Atlantic. Yeah, you know, you feel like though your
Speaker 1: team is in good shape and they're in they're they're
Speaker 1: not there. You know, they've done the hydration and all
Speaker 1: that stuff. But then you get guys coming out of
Speaker 1: the game. And I would feel a lot better about
Speaker 1: the defensive line if in fact, that say, like a
Speaker 1: guy like Donta Jones was in there and it was
Speaker 1: part of the rotation. I would feel a lot better
Speaker 1: about how that how the rotating. Now, well, we'll see.
Speaker 1: With Collins, we'll see. I mean, he's a guy that
Speaker 1: he's worked hard in the offseason and he had the
Speaker 1: foot problem. Hopefully he can get through this whole season.
Speaker 1: That's the one thing that I worry about, the frailty
Speaker 1: of his feet, the bones in his feet, maybe some
Speaker 1: brittleness in his feet. A big man that's got a Yeah,
Speaker 1: if you're a big man with a foot problem, that's
Speaker 1: never a good thing. Yeah, And he's had it in
Speaker 1: a couple of different feet now, Yeah, so I'm both
Speaker 1: of them. I'm just I'm a little bit like I
Speaker 1: like what I've seen. I'd like what I've seen with Woods,
Speaker 1: I do. I've said this on our show, Bunch. I
Speaker 1: was ready for him to take that left turn right
Speaker 1: off the road, and that hasn't happened yet. Now we're
Speaker 1: getting into some you know, we're gonna get into some
Speaker 1: real football here, and it's gonna be him, it's gonna
Speaker 1: be Collins, it's gonna be kicking Crawford inside. You know. Also,
Speaker 1: something to keep an eye on this defensive line. I
Speaker 1: don't know if necessary. And this is kind of some
Speaker 1: of the things, just talking some people in the building.
Speaker 1: When you have lunch here, you can kind of bump
Speaker 1: into people. I would be keep an eye on what's
Speaker 1: gonna happen at right end if in fact that Crawford
Speaker 1: goes inside. I don't think it's a necessarily a given
Speaker 1: that you will see Randy Gregory this guy in and
Speaker 1: it goes along with what you're talking about. You want
Speaker 1: to keep him fresh, keep him fresh. And then but
Speaker 1: that's a taco taco possibly being if they go lords.
Speaker 1: But they're gonna rotate all these guys, they're gonna but
Speaker 1: a lot of people feel like, oh, Randy Gregory will
Speaker 1: be He'll be the starter, He'll be the starter. Don't
Speaker 1: don't be surprised if if in fact that they do
Speaker 1: kick Crawford inside, that you see a rotation over there
Speaker 1: at that right defensive end without with Randy Gregory and
Speaker 1: then with taking Okay, and let's let's factor in the
Speaker 1: North Turner factor. When we come back here on Talking Cowboys,
Speaker 1: we'll get to Matt in Austin as well when Talking

Speaker 1: Let's go to Matt in Austin. Next up on talking Cowboys.
Speaker 1: Matt Happy football, gentleman, how y'all doing groll? Thank you good? Um.
Speaker 1: On the offense side, watching that game last night, I
Speaker 1: think the pressure for us with the receivers. This weekend
Speaker 1: is going to be on Lenahan to be creative, figure
Speaker 1: out a way to find matchups that work. Last night,
Speaker 1: you're watching that game and between the twenties Julio Jones. Great,
Speaker 1: he can go out down the field. But when you
Speaker 1: get into the red zone, if your number three receiver
Speaker 1: is better than their number three cornerback, go pick on him.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter if it's your stud. But everybody in
Speaker 1: the building knew they were going to Jones, and I
Speaker 1: think it just kind of fell flat. It was boring,
Speaker 1: it wasn't creative, and so I think the pressure is
Speaker 1: going to be on Lenahan to find a way to
Speaker 1: use these guys in more inventive ways versus when we
Speaker 1: had a Bryant and a Witten, where everybody in the
Speaker 1: building can recognize, okay, let's double team. These guys run
Speaker 1: somebody underneath, make it a problem for Dak. And on
Speaker 1: the defensive side, I think with our d line, y'all
Speaker 1: were talking about a minute ago, if we can contain Newton,
Speaker 1: make him stay in the pocket and make throws so
Speaker 1: long as guys don't rush past him and create lanes
Speaker 1: where he's, you know, five ten yards down the field
Speaker 1: before we realize. I mean, I think our linebackers are
Speaker 1: fast enough to catch him, but I mean if if
Speaker 1: he's another running back back there, and if you can
Speaker 1: contain him and make him make throws, I think that
Speaker 1: puts us in a good position. And then finally, random question.
Speaker 1: There was a D line guy I think he was
Speaker 1: a D tackle in the fourth preseason game who I
Speaker 1: think flashed a little bit and he wasn't what was
Speaker 1: his name? I was surprised I didn't hear his name
Speaker 1: when Price got picked up off waivers. I want to
Speaker 1: ask you too if there was if there was anything
Speaker 1: on that um. But anyway, final point, if we can
Speaker 1: run the ball, like I was watching Philly play last night,
Speaker 1: their front I think is as good as Carolina's front.
Speaker 1: That if we can figure out a way to run,
Speaker 1: that'll put you ahead of the chains, and I think
Speaker 1: then our receivers will be in better situations. That's what
Speaker 1: it comes down to, keeping keeping Dak clean, keeping him
Speaker 1: in the pocket where he can hit guys when he
Speaker 1: needs to. But hopefully, hopefully we don't come out flat
Speaker 1: and sloppy like that game last night. We're gonna hear
Speaker 1: everybody talk about how they should have played more in
Speaker 1: the preseason. Yeah. But anyway, so you'll have a good weekend,
Speaker 1: travel safe to enjoy the game. Thank you. Thanks. I'll
Speaker 1: address this. You know, I think that you know, you
Speaker 1: talk about Lenahan and I agree put it on Linehan.
Speaker 1: I agree. I think Lenihan will figure out ways. I
Speaker 1: think the receiver coach, tight end coach. All these guys
Speaker 1: are new coaches, right, They've got some new ideas, maybe
Speaker 1: some things they can help Lenahan with. But it's got
Speaker 1: to be on the players though, too. If Lenehan can
Speaker 1: scheme guys open, but if Thompson doesn't make a catch,
Speaker 1: if Gallup has an unfortunate drop, if Austin doesn't he
Speaker 1: has an opportunity on the jet suite or a screen
Speaker 1: or whatever, and he doesn't read the block the right
Speaker 1: way and gets tackled for two yard game. You know,
Speaker 1: he can only be as good as the players some
Speaker 1: of that last year. Yeah, he can only be as
Speaker 1: good as the guys that and then he can help.
Speaker 1: He can help, you know. I do think we sat
Speaker 1: there and watch training camp practice after there were some
Speaker 1: creative things they tried to do. But I think this
Speaker 1: is going to be on the players to execute for him,
Speaker 1: because they if they, if they, if he could call
Speaker 1: all the creative plays you want. But if guys, if
Speaker 1: if they they throw a screen and Prescott overthrows when
Speaker 1: they got blockers out in front? Is that on Lena
Speaker 1: Hanner's that on Prescott? He can call plays, but they're
Speaker 1: gonna need these receivers, like you said, Rob to execute. Well,
Speaker 1: it's it's basically they're gonna have to exit. And part
Speaker 1: of that it might be like what Atlanta did last night.
Speaker 1: Was it on Sarcasian or was it on Matt Ryan? Yeah,
Speaker 1: they where Julio was doubled in the back of the
Speaker 1: end zone right and he overthrew them. It looked like
Speaker 1: Austin Hooper, the tied end who was working out of
Speaker 1: the slot on the left side, had beat that linebacker.
Speaker 1: They're gonna watch the tape. They're gonna see that, and
Speaker 1: that's gonna be sar Kissing is gonna get a lot
Speaker 1: of grief for Well. I don't blame him for trying
Speaker 1: to get the ball to heal. I mean I roll
Speaker 1: my eyes a little with that, because he's a Hall
Speaker 1: of Fame caliber player that if you don't go to
Speaker 1: him and it doesn't work, then it's like, well, why
Speaker 1: the hell aren't you throwing to the best player? They
Speaker 1: have four shots down there, Yeah they did. You know,
Speaker 1: I didn't see the final actually, but five shots because
Speaker 1: they had kind of defensive holding. That's right, Yeah, but
Speaker 1: he did. The caller did bring up a good point.
Speaker 1: You don't have Witten, now, you don't have Dez. Who
Speaker 1: are you going to in the red zone If you're
Speaker 1: in a clear passing situation where you can't just hand
Speaker 1: it to Zeke and and have him rumble in there?
Speaker 1: You know that somebody's got emerge. There is it? Rico there?
Speaker 1: It is? I see that. Look up just going there.
Speaker 1: I bet there are there are listeners out there that
Speaker 1: are yellow. That the yeah, yeah, the Rico chant just started.
Speaker 1: You can't you want him active for like a couple
Speaker 1: of plays, just so when you get in the red
Speaker 1: zone you can two fades a game to him? Could
Speaker 1: be the difference line. Yeah. All he does is score touchdowns.
Speaker 1: Let him score touchdowns. All he does is swore touchdowns.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, yeah, I'll tell you what though.
Speaker 1: You know, remember Cole Beasley a couple of years ago
Speaker 1: was a good little red zone player. Yes, many times
Speaker 1: he wear Green Bay out out and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: You know, Blake Jarwin. And in training camp when they've
Speaker 1: got down in some red zone stuff, Blake Jarwin knew
Speaker 1: how to get open a little bit big target like
Speaker 1: big target. Yeah. But I I, you know, I I
Speaker 1: kind of think that the best weapon for the Cowboys
Speaker 1: in the red zone when they get down there is
Speaker 1: just keep handing the ball to that number twenty one. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: there he is one of those rare guys that I
Speaker 1: believe there was a late season game that had they
Speaker 1: done that when he had just become eligible again, exactly
Speaker 1: done that. Just keep just keep feeding him the ball.
Speaker 1: If the thing that bothers me is when coaches get cute,
Speaker 1: I don't need cute. If you're hammering somebody, if they
Speaker 1: can't stop you from running the football, why do you
Speaker 1: why do you think that throwing play action? And my
Speaker 1: alma mater did it the other day twice down there
Speaker 1: they are hammering the ball at Miami and all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, and you know, Steve Ensminger the OC, throw it,
Speaker 1: throw it, and I look at him and I go,
Speaker 1: what the f are we doing? You know? And but
Speaker 1: that's that's where I think that coordinators get a little
Speaker 1: cute total agreement with you. I was thinking more of
Speaker 1: the like third goal from the nine, you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: seven and what do you what do you do there?
Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't get cute. You got an all
Speaker 1: pro back, all world back there, find a way to
Speaker 1: get the ball to beat. You don't have the ability
Speaker 1: to throw jump balls, you really don't. And Rico might
Speaker 1: be a jump ball player, but I don't know if
Speaker 1: Rico's gonna be active for this game. You know, I
Speaker 1: really don't. And you know you I kind of thought
Speaker 1: I would have an idea who was playing more him
Speaker 1: or Schultz, and I really didn't get a feel. It's like, no,
Speaker 1: both are really kind of getting a lot of work together.
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's jarwin. It swaying those guys, and
Speaker 1: then you're thinking, Okay, who's the third tight end? Both
Speaker 1: of them are? They run twelve personnel, both on the
Speaker 1: field the same time. You know, it's not like that
Speaker 1: swaying that excuse me that Schultz was getting more reps
Speaker 1: than It's going to come down to special teams though,
Speaker 1: And I don't necessarily think that either one of them
Speaker 1: play special teams very much if you look at how
Speaker 1: it went in training camp and and you know kind
Speaker 1: of what I'm gathering right now. All right, how about
Speaker 1: the Norv Turner factor for Carolina? And obviously we have
Speaker 1: no evidence of what kind of an effect he might
Speaker 1: have on Cam Newton just yet. Talking to Daryl Johnston
Speaker 1: the other day when we taped Cowboys Insider, he's got
Speaker 1: obviously all of the respect in the world for North.
Speaker 1: Things should got super Bowl ring exactly, and he thinks
Speaker 1: he's gonna have a very positive effect. We'll see how
Speaker 1: quickly that that will happen. But you know, when you
Speaker 1: look at the two question marks at tackle injury wise
Speaker 1: for Carolina, left tackle special, what's North Turner going to
Speaker 1: do to help Cam Newton out in that respect? Running screens? Yeah,
Speaker 1: there you go. You have a pretty good screen back. Yeah,
Speaker 1: running screens, that's what they're gonna do. They're gonna try.
Speaker 1: They've got the threat where I worry about where I
Speaker 1: not worry, but I'm interested. Norv Turner has always the
Speaker 1: timing based offense requires an accurate quarterback. Yes, Cam Newton
Speaker 1: isn't always an accurate quarterback, always accurate, and that's what
Speaker 1: our call yea he will. You gotta be ready when
Speaker 1: he throws you the ball. Don't drop it. Don't be
Speaker 1: Orlando Scanner can drop the ball, you know, don't be Uh.
Speaker 1: You know Anthony Brown? What game was that last year?
Speaker 1: Come my gout was late? Yeah, Anthony Brown had a
Speaker 1: chance to seal the game, steal the game. Don't drop
Speaker 1: the ball. So it's it's it's a. It's a it's
Speaker 1: a unique fit and unique it. I have a lot
Speaker 1: of respect from Norv Turner because what he's able to
Speaker 1: being able to do, but he requires an accurate quarterback
Speaker 1: to run his offense with some success. And Cam and
Speaker 1: watch me just blow this up because Cam will then
Speaker 1: throw for five hundred yards, but he doesn't always throw
Speaker 1: the ball accurately. And that's but he's got big receivers.
Speaker 1: That's what you have to be. He will throw the
Speaker 1: ball up for the big receivers. And when you look
Speaker 1: at Cam's numbers throughout his career, he's always been a
Speaker 1: double digit interception guy, and he's been a less than
Speaker 1: sixty percent. That has always been his m But the
Speaker 1: biggest thing he can kill you with is running. The
Speaker 1: man he had the most run yards rushing that he's
Speaker 1: had in his career. Last year with seven hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty four yards averaging five and a half yards of care.
Speaker 1: And it might be because of the offensive line situation
Speaker 1: that he might have to do a little bit more running.
Speaker 1: But I think the way North Turner is going to
Speaker 1: play around this is get ready for get ready for
Speaker 1: a lot of targets to McCaffrey. You know that that,
Speaker 1: you know the screens, the Texas route inside. He's going
Speaker 1: to find ways to try and back Dallas off of him.
Speaker 1: You know he's not going to let that rush. If
Speaker 1: he's going to try and protect his line, He's got
Speaker 1: to be very conscious of that rush. And we talked
Speaker 1: about Olson earlier in the week. He's a He's as
Speaker 1: good as an underneath safety blank ancient, but a great great.
Speaker 1: When I talk about contested ball catcher, you know him,
Speaker 1: Heath Frazier, whoever's got him in this game, he needs
Speaker 1: to They need to fight through him because he can
Speaker 1: catch some contested think of Turners offenses over the last
Speaker 1: twenty five years, and he was in Minnesota had Rudolph,
Speaker 1: he was in San Diego for like six years with
Speaker 1: Antonio Gates super Nova check here in the Redskins. I
Speaker 1: remember when he was a head coach. Do you have
Speaker 1: anybody at Washington he had? Um Cooley? Was he around?
Speaker 1: He wasn't there yet, Conlved. No. In fact, I looked
Speaker 1: it up the other day. I wrote it down somewhere.
Speaker 1: I gotta find it. Yeah, that's right, it's somewhere in here. Uh.
Speaker 1: It doesn't help you if you write something down and
Speaker 1: then you don't know where you wrote it down. Um,
Speaker 1: when he was at Miami, he had like Randy McMichael
Speaker 1: or somebody like that. Yeah, and but he didn't. It
Speaker 1: wasn't an ash with Washington, Okay, James Asher, I don't remember.
Speaker 1: I did not have a tied end. I played a
Speaker 1: couple of games out of helmet. I can't remember. I
Speaker 1: do remember some games, like in the seventies. Though, there's
Speaker 1: some games I remember something something I was I wanted.
Speaker 1: I left early when Clint Longley threw the touchdown. I
Speaker 1: left early that game. Well, that's the last time I
Speaker 1: ever left the game early. I mean when you talk,
Speaker 1: I mean Clint long we complete the ball, Drew Pearson
Speaker 1: seventy four. Yeah, that's the that's the first time I
Speaker 1: ever left the game. And it was the last time
Speaker 1: I ever left the game early. Oh man, I remember
Speaker 1: trying to beat traffic or what we I was with
Speaker 1: my grandmother and she was she was kind of like,
Speaker 1: you know, we we My family was in the restaurant
Speaker 1: business and we had a company that provided bus service,
Speaker 1: you know, had an open bar and food all that.
Speaker 1: It was really a good thing, not for a kid
Speaker 1: that's my age but eleven years old. But but it
Speaker 1: was fun. And we were sitting on the bus and
Speaker 1: everybody got on a bus and they were all excited,
Speaker 1: and we're like, what happened? And oh, the Cowboys one
Speaker 1: and I'm like I looked at my grandmother and she's
Speaker 1: just kinda put her head down. I'm sorry to mean,
Speaker 1: make it leave early, all right? The two minute a
Speaker 1: warning goes to both benches. Here we go. Okay, so Cowboys,
Speaker 1: what are they gonna do Sunday? What's gonna happen. I've
Speaker 1: gone back and forth all week. I'm gonna I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go with the chip on the shoulder theory Cowboys. The
Speaker 1: boys chip is gonna be larger than the Panthers chip.
Speaker 1: I think maybe these receivers surprise us for this week
Speaker 1: and they can they can hit some plays in the
Speaker 1: passing game, because I think Zeke's ready to rock. I
Speaker 1: think he's gonna have a terrific game now, notwithstanding maybe
Speaker 1: you know there's gonna be some problems up front at times.
Speaker 1: But I think Zeke and they they get back to
Speaker 1: what they do when they win this one on the
Speaker 1: road and you gotta score. It might be sloppy and
Speaker 1: raining out there. I'd say twenty one seventeen. Wait, one seventeen,
Speaker 1: Dallas win there? Huh yeah, Okay, I got the Panthers
Speaker 1: in this one kind of And I feel like that
Speaker 1: if you weren't playing a really good front. So I
Speaker 1: know the Cowboys have an outstand offensive line, but I
Speaker 1: don't know how good they are right now at center,
Speaker 1: and I don't know how really good they are. They
Speaker 1: could be really good at guard one day. Right now,
Speaker 1: left guard they're not, and that kid can develop. I
Speaker 1: just worry about that. I just worry about them trying
Speaker 1: to run the football. I feel like that they might
Speaker 1: get in a situation like what it was with Denver.
Speaker 1: Hopefully they could take advantage of the secondary, but I
Speaker 1: think that I think it'll be difficult for them to
Speaker 1: move the ball offensively with this case. But I'll take
Speaker 1: the Panthers in this one, twenty four to sixteen, twenty
Speaker 1: four sixteen Panthers. Here's what I've got. It's gonna go
Speaker 1: right down to the wire, field goal rising, It's going
Speaker 1: to be a field goal, and it's gonna be Brett
Speaker 1: Maher with the game winning fifty seven yard fields on
Speaker 1: grass as the Cowboys beat the Panthers twenty twenty three
Speaker 1: to twenty. Your final school added that incorrectly, didn't, did you?
Speaker 1: Let's give him twenty four twenty four twenty oh wait
Speaker 1: yeah no, wait, So there you go. I hope you
Speaker 1: guys are right. I just I just worry about maybe
Speaker 1: maybe this thing will prove if you're playing anybody but
Speaker 1: this defensive front, I I think I would kind of
Speaker 1: I would lean that way. I just worry about can
Speaker 1: they do enough? If I was on Carolina Panthers dot Com,
Speaker 1: I'd say, Graham Gano has the game winner seven yards
Speaker 1: on grass. Yeah, there you go. All right, hope president,
Speaker 1: enjoy the game on Sunday and enjoy Dallas Cowboys program
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys dot Com programming. In the meantime, this has
Speaker 1: been a production of Dallas Cowboys dot com and the
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys Football Club
