Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football clubll Cowboys. This He's Talking Cowboys,
Speaker 1: springing live from the Dallas Cowboys World.
Speaker 2: Tours at the Star in Friscolle toute six seconds dot
Speaker 2: Ti TI ty today, touchdown and now your hosts Isaiah Standback,
Speaker 2: Patrick Walker, Josh Rodriguez, and Kyle Yeomans.
Speaker 1: Twenty eight to twenty five, Baltimore, as the Dallas Cowboys
Speaker 1: fall to one in two in the twenty twenty four season,
Speaker 1: a week three loss at home at AT and T Stadium.
Speaker 1: As we welcome you in to Talking Cowboys, presented by
Speaker 1: Black Rifle Coffee Company. It is not a victory Monday, unfortunately. Instead,
Speaker 1: it's a one and two Monday where the Cowboys are
Speaker 1: one and two for the first time since twenty twenty.
Speaker 1: We have Patrick no S Walker, Josh Rodriguez, Chris Beam
Speaker 1: in the back.
Speaker 3: I'm Kyle Yeoman's gentleman. You were both at the game.
Speaker 1: You were both sitting at AT and T Stadium where
Speaker 1: now three games in a row the Dallas Cowboys have fallen,
Speaker 1: And oh how that home field advantage has turned so
Speaker 1: so so quickly.
Speaker 4: Hello, darkness, my old friend.
Speaker 3: You know, you hit that kind of kind of nicely.
Speaker 3: That was good.
Speaker 4: I'm an excellent singer, are you really Yes?
Speaker 5: I don't believe that at all. Oh wow, that was
Speaker 5: kind of a shot. Wow that's coming from me like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but we're talking like geez like cowboys run defense
Speaker 1: singer or like a Raven's rushing attack singer.
Speaker 6: And somewhere in the middle, not quite a white rushing
Speaker 6: attack one that would be Adell levels of singing, you
Speaker 6: know what I mean?
Speaker 5: Like this is uh, you know what I mean. It's
Speaker 5: not great.
Speaker 4: It's like how Kesha is a singer, you know what
Speaker 4: I mean?
Speaker 1: Yeah, idea kind of Yeah, did you just compare yourself
Speaker 1: to Kesha in more ways than one?
Speaker 3: Nice? Okay?
Speaker 5: Good? No?
Speaker 3: Good?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 5: Solid? Yeah sucked?
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 7: So you know what this reminds me of, Unfortunately, reminds
Speaker 7: me of a certain stretch of the Jason Garrett era
Speaker 7: where the cowboys couldn't get their act together at home,
Speaker 7: so on order to stack wins, they had to do
Speaker 7: it on the road. Now, we'll see if that, you know,
Speaker 7: is actually what's happening in twenty twenty four, because obviously
Speaker 7: what's coming up you got the Giants and then you
Speaker 7: got Pittsburgh, but you know, and of course you got
Speaker 7: the forty nine ers. But yeah, and speaking of the
Speaker 7: forty nine ers, it's another week in which the Cowboys
Speaker 7: did not take advantage of the forty nine ers dropping
Speaker 7: a game. Right, forty nine ers or one and two Cowboys,
Speaker 7: you know, could have had a leg up on them.
Speaker 7: The Eagles took care of their business by.
Speaker 5: We played trash, they did.
Speaker 7: But all it took was one chunk play Dallas Goddard
Speaker 7: in the final quarter, in the waning seconds, and that's
Speaker 7: but that's football, right, that's football. The Saints played down
Speaker 7: to their competition and they got bid in the backside
Speaker 7: for it, and the Cowboys didn't. They didn't take advantage
Speaker 7: of the forty nine ers losing, and they didn't take
Speaker 7: they didn't keep pace with the Eagles, who are now
Speaker 7: two and one. But I mean, this Cowboys team has
Speaker 7: a lot to figure out. And yeah, I mean we
Speaker 7: could and we probably will at some point this very
Speaker 7: short week.
Speaker 5: Touch on.
Speaker 7: Yeah, they're the silver lining. They came alive in the
Speaker 7: four quarter. I don't want to talk about that right now. Yeah,
Speaker 7: because for the first three quarters, which then makes for
Speaker 7: the previous eleven quarters of ineptitude on both sides of
Speaker 7: the ball, that that previous eleven quarters far out weighs
Speaker 7: for me what we saw in that one quarter. So yeah,
Speaker 7: there they came awake. Wonderful and maybe they can build
Speaker 7: on that wonderful. But the fact is you've, like you said, Cayle,
Speaker 7: you've now dropped three at home. And it doesn't have
Speaker 7: to be this way, but it is this way. Right,
Speaker 7: So defense, where you at? Offense where are you at?
Speaker 7: And special teams? Special teams. Brandon Aubrey is a freaking monster.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 1: It's unfortunate that he's getting lost in the shuffle right
Speaker 1: now because he's doing historic things.
Speaker 7: I don't know that he's getting lost in the shuffle.
Speaker 7: I think, if anything, this is amplifying just how good
Speaker 7: and how much of a weapon he actually is.
Speaker 5: Because when you enjoy it, I get it, I get it.
Speaker 1: But when you kind of enjoy it, when you're getting
Speaker 1: blown out by New Orleans, it's getting.
Speaker 5: Beat by Baltimore, right.
Speaker 7: It's just that when when you have a kicker who
Speaker 7: can just try it out there and boot a sixty
Speaker 7: five yard because your offense can't move the ball. I mean,
Speaker 7: you got to celebrate the small things, and Brandon Aubrey
Speaker 7: is not a small thing. It's just Cowboys fans remember
Speaker 7: when the offense was virtually unstoppable and you couldn't kick
Speaker 7: to save your life. Yeah, now you can kick it
Speaker 7: from the parking lot and it's split in the uprights,
Speaker 7: but you can't get a a touchdown for the most part,
Speaker 7: to save your life.
Speaker 5: The fourth quarter or not was don.
Speaker 6: Nicole Hutchison cracked me up yesterday when she said Brandon
Speaker 6: Abery's gonna.
Speaker 5: Hold out next offseason and deservedly so, Man, give that
Speaker 5: man the bag.
Speaker 4: But I think the Dallas Cowboys have a lot of
Speaker 4: isn't that big?
Speaker 1: Yeah, for a small small all things considered, kicker afford,
Speaker 1: they're going to reset the market a kicker.
Speaker 6: Exactly, So shout and Nicole, I think the Dallas Cowboys
Speaker 6: have a lot of demons they need to exercise. You know,
Speaker 6: these are things that we've known since last you know,
Speaker 6: going into the off season, and the big part of
Speaker 6: last year the run game is suspect. The offensive play
Speaker 6: calling to a certain extent, at certain points in the game,
Speaker 6: you question, you know, what what's going on there? You question,
Speaker 6: you know, inside handoffs in the third and fourth quarter
Speaker 6: when you're you know, really trying to claw back and
Speaker 6: Dak is just absolutely dicon him up. You know, he
Speaker 6: really was in the third and fourth quarter. I mean
Speaker 6: when he had time to throw another demon there with
Speaker 6: your offensive line and protection and left tackle, I think,
Speaker 6: is it's tough right now. Again, you have rookies there,
Speaker 6: so it's a lot to consider. And then most of all,
Speaker 6: the biggest demon in the room, this is the long
Speaker 6: legs of Dallas Cowboys season.
Speaker 5: Is the run game. Run defense. It is poor. It
Speaker 5: is poor. It is poor.
Speaker 3: I think that might be putting it nicely.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's pure, unadulterated poverty, is what it is. We
Speaker 7: just saw a stat here four hundred and sixty four
Speaker 7: rushing yards allowed in the past two games alone.
Speaker 5: That's not going to win your football games. It's not.
Speaker 6: It's not, especially when you have great run teams coming
Speaker 6: into this building and then like going on the road,
Speaker 6: I mean, the run, the run game travels. Obviously, we
Speaker 6: know this, and this is why now at home, you know,
Speaker 6: three games in a row, you're getting absolutely demolished in
Speaker 6: the run game. It is sad to see it really is,
Speaker 6: because there are a lot of talented playmakers on the
Speaker 6: defensive side of the ball and you're just not seeing
Speaker 6: it click.
Speaker 5: And I don't know.
Speaker 6: I couldn't tell you what it is because it's almost unexplainable.
Speaker 7: Well, i'll tell you what it is. For the second
Speaker 7: week in a row, they've not been able to seal
Speaker 7: the edges. They've just not been able to seal the edges.
Speaker 7: Go back and look at the first drive from Lamar
Speaker 7: Jackson the Ravens. It basically went like this edge, edge
Speaker 7: dropped down, edge, chunk play, edge, touchdown. They were cooking
Speaker 7: the edges because they did a great job for the
Speaker 7: majority of the game, I want to say three and
Speaker 7: a half quarters, three a quarter quarters of keeping Derrick
Speaker 7: Henry from dominating in the A and B gap, which
Speaker 7: was one of my keys. You have to keep him
Speaker 7: from doing that and you have to force him outside.
Speaker 7: It wasn't until the fourth quarter where he wore them
Speaker 7: down and then you started to see those chunk plays
Speaker 7: come up the middle. But for the most part, they
Speaker 7: were just not the cowboys. They were just not sealing
Speaker 7: the edges. And whether it Ben Lamar Jackson or whomever else,
Speaker 7: say Flowers on handoffs and end the rounds and things
Speaker 7: like that. Justice Hill on handoffs and in the rounds
Speaker 7: direct Give the Ravens credit. They did a good job
Speaker 7: of understanding that the Cowboys were struggling protecting their edges
Speaker 7: on run defense, and they attacked them full blown. And
Speaker 7: then offensively, you have to look at self inflicted wounds
Speaker 7: time and again, self inflicted wounds. You finally get a
Speaker 7: drive going, what do you get? You get a holding
Speaker 7: penalty that's a drive killer. And then on the next drive,
Speaker 7: you finally get down there and you're moving and you
Speaker 7: can make something happen, and then ceedee Lamb doesn't secure the.
Speaker 5: Ball and it's a fumble and you lose that fumble.
Speaker 4: He almost loses the fumble right before that.
Speaker 7: Right so and then the ball so it went because
Speaker 7: there were other drive killing penalties. Rather it been false
Speaker 7: start numerous times, more than one false start penalty, more
Speaker 7: than one holding penalty on the offensive line. Your offensive
Speaker 7: line had a very very bad day at the office yesterday.
Speaker 7: Off better set awful day and not just being undisciplined
Speaker 7: with the penalties, we're talking about pressures as well. So
Speaker 7: I know a lot of people because someone said yesterday
Speaker 7: in reply to my tweet that the offensive line. My
Speaker 7: tweet said, the offensive line was a turnstile yesterday and
Speaker 7: it's undisciplined, right, a lot of penalties. They said, well,
Speaker 7: when you start, when you start two rookies, this is
Speaker 7: what you get, okay. So the problem I have with
Speaker 7: that is it wasn't only your rookies that were getting walked.
Speaker 7: It was, in fact, Terrence Steele, and it was Zach Martin,
Speaker 7: and it was Tyler Smith. And Tyler Smith also had
Speaker 7: penalties as well. Each one of those guys allowed at
Speaker 7: least five pressures, with the exception of I think Cooper
Speaker 7: BB had three pressures, and Cooper BB was the only
Speaker 7: one who didn't average more than half the time one
Speaker 7: versus one, right, so he was taking a lot of combos,
Speaker 7: which tracks because he's the center. But I sell that
Speaker 7: to say, each one of the five men up front,
Speaker 7: including your future first ballot Hall of Famer, basically had
Speaker 7: a bad day and.
Speaker 5: Got taught some lessons yesterday.
Speaker 7: So when your quarterback is under siege like that, and
Speaker 7: that's not letting Dak Prescott off the hook, because yeah,
Speaker 7: he came alive in the second half specifically the fourth
Speaker 7: quarter with the three touchdowns.
Speaker 5: That was ridiculous. But I think he started to see some.
Speaker 7: Ghosts in that first half and it impacted It impacted
Speaker 7: his throws because there were some throws that he could
Speaker 7: have made. I remember a deep shot Brandon Cooks had
Speaker 7: his guy beat. You dropped that in the bucket. If
Speaker 7: that's a dot, that might be a touchdown because I
Speaker 7: think Cooks burns the safety even though the safety had
Speaker 7: kind of an angle there.
Speaker 5: But that was an overthrow.
Speaker 7: I think the next player of the play after that,
Speaker 7: Zeke third down, you try to dump it off and
Speaker 7: it's a bad throw to the flat right. So I
Speaker 7: think your pressure started to kind of get to Dak Prescott.
Speaker 7: Credit to him for getting things back aligned in the
Speaker 7: fourth quarter, but too little, too late.
Speaker 6: And kind of picking back off of what Micah said about,
Speaker 6: you know, playing Superman. I think a big part of
Speaker 6: that was was Dak, you know, forcing it, you know,
Speaker 6: and and it was a lot of self inflicted wounds
Speaker 6: in the first half and even in the third whenever
Speaker 6: Dak like fumbles his own.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he dropped it. He dropped his own. Yes, he
Speaker 5: just went to escape the pocket and it hit his
Speaker 5: arm and it was just it was in his hand.
Speaker 5: It was just in his hand and it just drops
Speaker 5: in film.
Speaker 4: Granted he was able to recover his own fumble there,
Speaker 4: but he goes to how the day went.
Speaker 6: It goes to how the day went, and it goes to,
Speaker 6: you know, it's like, how are we seeing this from
Speaker 6: even now the leaders and stars of this team, you
Speaker 6: know what I mean. It's one thing to have guys
Speaker 6: that you bring in to sort of supplement, you know,
Speaker 6: the talent around you, but now it's the talent that
Speaker 6: is letting you down. CD was a huge part for
Speaker 6: me as far as like, what a terrible game for CD.
Speaker 1: And we'll talk a little bit about that, I think
Speaker 1: in the second segment, because I do want to dive
Speaker 1: into the body language conversation. Dak kind of downplayed it yesterday,
Speaker 1: but it was an impact and it made an impact,
Speaker 1: kind of going back to what you both were saying
Speaker 1: about Dak and some of the struggles that he had
Speaker 1: throughout the game. Threw into a tight window on thirty
Speaker 1: five point three percent of pass attempts in Week three.
Speaker 1: That's the highest he's thrown into a tight window, highest percentage.
Speaker 8: Since his rookie year in week fourth. There's no separation,
Speaker 8: there's no creativity. There's a stale just feeling around this offense.
Speaker 1: And I think it stems from not having a liable
Speaker 1: run game, from not having a legitimate run game that
Speaker 1: you can fall back on, you can help say, set
Speaker 1: up play action. Nobody's fooled by this offense. It's Ceedee Lamb,
Speaker 1: Jake Ferguson. Cover those guys and you're good. And there
Speaker 1: were a couple times where Cavante Turpin came alive in
Speaker 1: the fourth fin Jalen Tolbert came alive in the fourth
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks had a couple of plays where he was
Speaker 1: smart about it.
Speaker 3: I thought the PI where he ripped the.
Speaker 1: Guy down by his that is a brilliant play on
Speaker 1: his part. I said, it's just possible.
Speaker 3: That's a smart veteran move. But he didn't get any separation.
Speaker 3: There was one time he.
Speaker 1: Routed up the guy at the line of scrimmage and
Speaker 1: could not pull away. There's no separation on this offense.
Speaker 1: There's no creativity in its stale. You know, this stale
Speaker 1: offense is awful.
Speaker 7: I want you to say that, say that number again.
Speaker 7: What was the type window percentage for day thirty five percent.
Speaker 7: You know what the type window percentage was for Lamar
Speaker 7: Jackson yesterday? Zero zero, Oh wow, zero, not a completely
Speaker 7: single He only had twelve because he only had the
Speaker 7: complete twelve. But of those twelve throws, not a single
Speaker 7: one of them was int the type window percentage, the
Speaker 7: difference in separation was very evident. And even with motion
Speaker 7: or the lack thereof the Cowboys, I mean there have
Speaker 7: been times where they've average where they've had motion forty
Speaker 7: forty five percent of the time yesterday less than twenty
Speaker 7: five percent of the time. And then the pressure starts
Speaker 7: to impact a lot of things. It starts to impact
Speaker 7: the play calling. We went into that game yesterday, I'm thinking,
Speaker 7: and I said it on Friday, this is the key.
Speaker 7: You got a drag ro Kwan Smith and force him
Speaker 7: to carry a guy like Jake Ferguson up and up
Speaker 7: the seam and just out of the middle of the field.
Speaker 7: And what do we see, because so much pressure, it
Speaker 7: was a whole lot of running, sit down, running, sit down, running,
Speaker 7: sit down right there in the middle of the field.
Speaker 5: Oh that's feeding right into what ro qwand Smith wants
Speaker 5: to do. In that linebacker court.
Speaker 7: So one thing led to the next thing to the
Speaker 7: next thing, and then you add in penalties and just
Speaker 7: lack of execution. We talk about body language, not securing
Speaker 7: the ball, some throws that Dak Prescott wants back over
Speaker 7: the course of the first three quarters. And again, yes,
Speaker 7: you could look at the fourth quarter and say, okay,
Speaker 7: something to build on. That's true, but that's not what
Speaker 7: I care to talk about right now, because you lost.
Speaker 5: And you didn't have to lose.
Speaker 1: You did not play well, You did not play well,
Speaker 1: did not play well. Josh just brought it up. Ceedee lamb,
Speaker 1: body language. All of that is a conversation because right
Speaker 1: now it's so early. You can fix everything x's and
Speaker 1: o's wise as you go along, whether it's the player
Speaker 1: stepping up, coach is stepping up, scheme changing, whatever it
Speaker 1: may be.
Speaker 3: You can fix the x's and o's.
Speaker 1: A lot of times, what you can't fix is a mentality.
Speaker 1: And if a team has that mentality continue to unravel
Speaker 1: in Week.
Speaker 3: Three of the NFL season, it's going to be a long,
Speaker 3: long year.
Speaker 1: So we're going to talk about the impact of what
Speaker 1: we saw on Sunday twenty eight to twenty five Baltimore
Speaker 1: takes down Dallas in week three, We'll be right back
Speaker 1: with more talking cowboys.
Speaker 9: Right after this, Todd thought it would be secure to
Speaker 9: jog in the cheetah Savannah. Todd believed the big cat
Speaker 9: repellent he bought online was reliable, and now Todd is
Speaker 9: trying to be faster than this cheetah that can run
Speaker 9: eighty miles per hour. But the good news is Todd
Speaker 9: has AT and T five G. It is fast, reliable,
Speaker 9: and secure, and he learned the best thing to do
Speaker 9: is stop running and toss her the backpack with the
Speaker 9: beef stew.
Speaker 10: At and T five G. Fast, reliable, Secure.
Speaker 11: Five G requires campable plan and device five G may

Speaker 3: To Talking Cowboys. Back here on Talking Cowboys.
Speaker 1: This portion of the show is brought to you by

Speaker 1: trusted since eighteen seventy seven. Got some fun Quaker Oats
Speaker 1: things coming up later in the week, going away for
Speaker 1: Isaiah to get back, because.
Speaker 3: It's it was really really cool.
Speaker 1: Some fan inspired stuff, oh really coming later and we
Speaker 1: love fantas spiders.
Speaker 5: Clicks over there.
Speaker 1: If you're mic in New York, you may know what
Speaker 1: I'm talking about.
Speaker 3: I feel I got it.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about it when Isaiah gets back. So stay tuned,
Speaker 1: all right. Oat's on the internet, on the Internet, it's
Speaker 1: right there. Everybody's sad twenty eight twenty five. It's sad
Speaker 1: Oats this morning.
Speaker 3: But it's still loads.
Speaker 4: It's still loads.
Speaker 3: Make sure day better.
Speaker 5: It does bring out the good after all, you go
Speaker 5: it need to. It may be some Oats pre game
Speaker 5: as a pregame workout. Honestly, Meal, I thought that's what
Speaker 5: they had in the gator, the bottles. You know what
Speaker 5: I mean, I need to get some oats, some oats
Speaker 5: on the field.
Speaker 1: Wasn't that Yeah, they would have worked out exactly some
Speaker 1: odi pre not with that performance, there's no oats involved.
Speaker 3: Unfortunate.
Speaker 5: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 6: So instead of a forty burger, it needs to be
Speaker 6: an oh fody an odie burger, fody fody, a fody
Speaker 6: f oh yeah, a y fody pody.
Speaker 3: We can make that work water burger. We'll talk, all right.
Speaker 5: Sounds like you're from the Bay Tugget.
Speaker 3: Twenty eight, twenty five.
Speaker 1: I just want to run down a couple of these
Speaker 1: stats from yesterday, and everybody's probably already seen them, but
Speaker 1: it's it's pretty jarring. Four hundred and fifty six yards
Speaker 1: of total offense allowed by the defense. Two hundred and
Speaker 1: seventy four yards last time they allowed over two hundred
Speaker 1: and seventy yards of total rushing attack twenty twenty, Week
Speaker 1: thirteen against the Baltimore Ravens.
Speaker 5: Mike Nollen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Mike Nolan defense passing net. I mean, Dak
Speaker 1: Press got through for three hundred and sixty one yards.
Speaker 1: A lot of that was late, but fifty one yards
Speaker 1: on the ground, fifty one yards on the ground just
Speaker 1: not good enough from a ground game standpoint. Dak threw
Speaker 1: it fifty one times. Seven of those targets were to
Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb. He caught four of them for sixty seven yards.
Speaker 1: And I mean it was apparent. Tom Brady talked about it,
Speaker 1: Coach McCarthy was asked about it, Dak Prescott was asked
Speaker 1: about it, and Ceedee Lamb did not speak to the
Speaker 1: media following the twenty eight to twenty five loss. So
Speaker 1: it does open the conversation of what is going on
Speaker 1: whenever it comes to the body language and the talking
Speaker 1: on the sideline. I mean, the entire Fox Truck had
Speaker 1: a different angle of the interaction with Dak where he says,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be you're all day. I'm not going anywhere.
Speaker 1: I throw me the blanking ball.
Speaker 3: I mean, there were a lot of things.
Speaker 1: It wasn't very hard to read the lips of cdee
Speaker 1: Lamb on that occasion. But what does that tell you
Speaker 1: about what is happening in the frustration building.
Speaker 5: On the offensive?
Speaker 7: Well, at least it tells me that guys give a damn,
Speaker 7: which is good. So that's a start, but you got
Speaker 7: to build on that. But they still care that's why
Speaker 7: they're getting frustrated. That's why the body language is showing up.
Speaker 7: That's why you see Ceedee Lamb in the end zone
Speaker 7: pounding on the turf with both hands, like what's going on?
Speaker 5: Throw me the ball?
Speaker 7: And then of course he was frustrated with the officials
Speaker 7: as well. And on the defensively, you look on the
Speaker 7: sideline and what do you see DeMarcus Law and so
Speaker 7: Michael Parsons kind of jawing at each other, and obviously
Speaker 7: it was you know, a brother, the brother thing, and
Speaker 7: any one of us who has siblings, like I have brothers,
Speaker 7: sometimes it's just tough love.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 7: It's like you, I feel the way you feel away.
Speaker 7: Things are not going as we want them to go.
Speaker 7: Get out of my face. So, I mean, they're good now,
Speaker 7: we've spoke with both of them in the locker room.
Speaker 7: But the passion is.
Speaker 5: There, the want is there, the carr is there.
Speaker 7: Where's the execution though, that's the second consecutive week we're
Speaker 7: talking about lack of execution. And you're hearing that now
Speaker 7: from the players, Michael Parson saying, guys want to be Superman,
Speaker 7: Stop trying to be Superman. Stay in your gap. Staying
Speaker 7: your lane, DeMarcus launch. He's saying the same thing. Play
Speaker 7: play your position and trust that the person next to
Speaker 7: you is going to do their thing. And there was
Speaker 7: another person last night who said I think Trayvon did.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Trevon dig said it as well when he said, well,
Speaker 7: when a guy gets out of his gap, well, now
Speaker 7: there's a big hole right there that you know for
Speaker 7: run defense you can just run right through or whatever
Speaker 7: the case may be. And then offensively, yeah, ceedeelamb wants
Speaker 7: the ball. There's not enough pressure being taken off of
Speaker 7: him by the other receivers obviously. And then you talk
Speaker 7: about a game plan where it's a lot of running
Speaker 7: sit for Jake Ferguson in his first game back versus
Speaker 7: you know, carrying him down the scene, trying to get
Speaker 7: him into space where he can do some yack damage.
Speaker 7: And we know Jake Ferguson can do some yack damage.
Speaker 7: Frustration tells me they give a damn. That's a great
Speaker 7: starting point, but it's wholly irrelevant if you can't get
Speaker 7: the execution to marry with the passion, because then you're
Speaker 7: just a passionate loser, right, So be a passionate winner
Speaker 7: and get your execution together.
Speaker 6: It would have been really nice to see him a
Speaker 6: training camp, you know, you know, like I think getting
Speaker 6: I mean granted, you know I'm frustrated, I really am,
Speaker 6: and I know he is too. But you look at
Speaker 6: this and you say, you know it was here at
Speaker 6: a training camp at the Star where Ceedee Lamb said, well,
Speaker 6: this is my training camp right here. You know, we're
Speaker 6: getting ready for Cleveland. You know that week one that
Speaker 6: as exactly and he's like, this is my training camp.
Speaker 5: Okay, well then what was week two? What's week three?
Speaker 5: You know what I mean?
Speaker 6: Like, it would have been nice had that worked out
Speaker 6: for him, you know what I mean, had week one
Speaker 6: been his full training camp. He's definitely still ramping up
Speaker 6: to Cede Lamb. That we know the CD Lamb we
Speaker 6: know in love to fumble the ball in the red zone.
Speaker 5: That can't happen.
Speaker 6: That cannot happen. The drop in the I think it
Speaker 6: was the third quarter, cannot happen.
Speaker 5: The ball is.
Speaker 7: Perfectly punter lip Key in Miami for that fumble. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 7: this is basically what CD just did.
Speaker 1: You did that and he almost fumbled it on the
Speaker 1: play prior to that.
Speaker 4: Imagine how different a game.
Speaker 6: It would have been to go up ten fourteen in
Speaker 6: that moment and you give the defense a little bit
Speaker 6: of help, you know what I mean. It's frustrating, it
Speaker 6: really is. I'm clearly they're frustrated on the sideline too.
Speaker 5: This is them playing. I'm not playing.
Speaker 6: I wish I could, you know, it's it is really
Speaker 6: really frustrating. I understand whether everybody's coming from, but man,
Speaker 6: I really wish we would have had CD again. This
Speaker 6: is kind of where the ugly head rears because it
Speaker 6: was those snaps are vital. Yeah, clicking with your quarterback
Speaker 6: when your last game was Green Bay, you know, like
Speaker 6: it's just it's obvious, but you also understand why he
Speaker 6: held out, and that's a whole different conversation.
Speaker 1: And there was also the time late in the game,
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, comeback fully in motion at that point, and
Speaker 1: he's off to the sideline with his helmet off.
Speaker 3: Not even in the sideline in the white line.
Speaker 1: He's off to the side side, crouched down with his
Speaker 1: helmet off, and he's just kind of either catching his
Speaker 1: breath or I don't know, maybe he's shaking up or
Speaker 1: whatever it may be, but his helmet was off and
Speaker 1: he was outside the white line.
Speaker 3: So it was still one of those things.
Speaker 1: Where you looked at it as what is happening in
Speaker 1: this moment? And I think it was a couple of
Speaker 1: plays later it was Turp touchdown.
Speaker 5: Yeah, something like that.
Speaker 7: I think when it comes to Ceedee Lamb, first and foremost,
Speaker 7: we have to understand that he processes his anger in
Speaker 7: real time differently. And I say that because everybody does, right,
Speaker 7: And I say that because this situation has come up before.
Speaker 7: Versus the forty nine ers in San Francisco. He was
Speaker 7: off to the side, right, and everybody was like, oh,
Speaker 7: he's disengaged, he doesn't care well. Even he spoke to
Speaker 7: that a few weeks after, or maybe even directly after,
Speaker 7: when he was calmer, and he admitted he has to
Speaker 7: do better with the optics of how he processes. But
Speaker 7: he said when he gets in his head like that,
Speaker 7: he processes better off to himself. So that being said,
Speaker 7: when you're talking about the optics of him during the comeback,
Speaker 7: he's sitting there, I'm sure he was still pissed off,
Speaker 7: still frustrated. The optics not good, and I think he
Speaker 7: understands they're not good, and to his admission a couple
Speaker 7: of seasons ago. He needs to improve upon the optics
Speaker 7: of that. Yeah, but I love that these guys are
Speaker 7: pissed off. I love that they're frustrated. I love seeing
Speaker 7: them jaw at each other on the sideline because again,
Speaker 7: it tells me you care and at least that can
Speaker 7: light a fire to try to burn the rest of
Speaker 7: the forest down over the course of the next several games.
Speaker 5: However, you just have to go and do it. So,
Speaker 5: I mean, it would be much worse if.
Speaker 7: We were not talking about this type of body language,
Speaker 7: where it's like guys were not frustrated, the seating land
Speaker 7: wasn't pounding the turf in anger, because then to be like, oh,
Speaker 7: they've checked out.
Speaker 3: I would rather have that over the latter idea. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I'd rather that the one thing. Actually, there's two things here.
Speaker 1: The first one is I asked that same question last night,
Speaker 1: what do you think about the body language and how
Speaker 1: things have been been handled from a sideline standpoint. I
Speaker 1: asked it to Barry, Isaiah, and Nate in a postgame show,
Speaker 1: and all three of those guys have been in a
Speaker 1: locker room, they've been on the sideline, and all three
Speaker 1: of them.
Speaker 3: Agreed, you can't do that to that extent.
Speaker 1: I think you can find a middle ground where you're
Speaker 1: still passionate, you're still emphatic, you're still frustrated, but.
Speaker 3: You're not lashing out.
Speaker 1: And that's ultimately and I thought Barry probably did the
Speaker 1: best job last night of outlining that fact, of saying, guys,
Speaker 1: there's a lot on the line and a long season ago.
Speaker 1: You cannot start chipping away at these relationships right now.
Speaker 1: You've got to build these relationships now. You can't chip
Speaker 1: away at it. And if you're lashing out, yeah, there's
Speaker 1: an opportunity to build off of that. There's an opportunity
Speaker 1: to say there's a motivation factor to it, but you
Speaker 1: also have a bigger chance at maybe trying to take
Speaker 1: away from that relationship.
Speaker 3: And creating a rift between you and your team.
Speaker 1: The second part of it, too, is you mentioned some
Speaker 1: of the stars that we're talking in the locker room
Speaker 1: and saying, we've got to be more disciplined, we've got
Speaker 1: to be better at executing.
Speaker 3: We've got to do our jobs better.
Speaker 1: The same guys that were talking Micah Parsons, DeMarcus Lawrence,
Speaker 1: Trayvon Diggs. You go back on film, and they are
Speaker 1: also getting washed. They are also getting beat. They are
Speaker 1: also in the wrong spot. It's everyone. Yes, the stars
Speaker 1: are gonna get the interviews and the conversations and the attention,
Speaker 1: because that's what stars do.
Speaker 3: You win.
Speaker 1: They get the attention. They lose, they get the attention.
Speaker 1: They're trying to try, they're trying to make it a
Speaker 1: team thing.
Speaker 3: I get it.
Speaker 1: It is everyone that deserves a little bit of a
Speaker 1: blame to what is going on right now.
Speaker 6: No, and the fans made it apparent too. They were
Speaker 6: they were booming Dallas Cowboys in our own home. And
Speaker 6: you saw even those those wheel routes to Zeke, you
Speaker 6: know what I mean, those got boom man like they were.
Speaker 5: They were really really upset.
Speaker 7: And but shouts out to a guy like Treyvon Diggs
Speaker 7: for example, because he didn't he didn't try to spread
Speaker 7: the mustard. As far as the blame is concerned, he
Speaker 7: took it. He stood in front of that trade. Yeah,
Speaker 7: and he was like, he was very poignant and what
Speaker 7: he was saying, he said that, for example, kind of
Speaker 7: narrowing it down to that third down play that ultimately
Speaker 7: ended the game. He was like, that was sh blank
Speaker 7: blank of me. He said, they want me here. I've
Speaker 7: got to make that play, regardless of if that is
Speaker 7: the game breaker play or if it's just a third
Speaker 7: down play in the first quarter, regardless of situation in context,
Speaker 7: I've got to be better. I've got to make that play.
Speaker 7: So they're taking ownership. There are guys that are taking ownership,
Speaker 7: like Treyvon Diggs, and when you're talking about your franchise cornerback,
Speaker 7: that's the kind of accountability you want to see. So
Speaker 7: it's not just that the guys are kind of chirping
Speaker 7: at each other. It's also the guys looking in the mirror,
Speaker 7: like Treyvon Diggs saying, man that I've got to be better.
Speaker 7: Like I can look around this locker room and say
Speaker 7: this person, that person, He's like, no, it's me. And
Speaker 7: if you can get you know, fifty three guys looking
Speaker 7: in the mirror and saying it's me, it's not him,
Speaker 7: then that's when you can begin to really improve.
Speaker 6: It's another thing to also, you know, have a play
Speaker 6: like that, you know what I mean. Granted his was
Speaker 6: at the very end of the game, but if you
Speaker 6: have a bad play like Kylen Carson did a terrible
Speaker 6: whiff and we talked about it on the show.
Speaker 5: That was that was an effort play. That was a
Speaker 5: lack of effort play.
Speaker 3: I thought you were about to say it was an effort.
Speaker 5: Play, no qualify. It was in the category of effort,
Speaker 5: but it was effort.
Speaker 3: It was negative effort.
Speaker 5: It was negative, negative effort play. I think.
Speaker 4: His response to that after that, you know, he got
Speaker 4: really physical.
Speaker 5: He did. He got really physical after that. After that,
Speaker 5: it really did.
Speaker 6: And that that to me speaks more than you know,
Speaker 6: like owning up to it at the end of the
Speaker 6: game being you know what, I played terrible, like show
Speaker 6: me man.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I think that you have the opportunity.
Speaker 7: But the difference in that being that there was no
Speaker 7: opportunity for Trayvon to make good after that.
Speaker 5: That was that was ball game after that.
Speaker 7: So now it's make good on it against the New
Speaker 7: York Giants, which is your next team in a span
Speaker 7: of four days. But really quickly talking to your point, Kyle,
Speaker 7: I get exactly what Barry and those guys are saying.
Speaker 7: And Big Nate they know, I mean, they know they've
Speaker 7: played at this level, They've been in these locker rooms.
Speaker 7: I will I will also add to that though, that
Speaker 7: it goes to the foundation of the relationship. Right absolutely,
Speaker 7: So if you and you and I have had our
Speaker 7: discussions offline where one in particular got heated and then
Speaker 7: what happened after that we talked it out and we
Speaker 7: were better than before we had that, I agree it
Speaker 7: goes to the foundation.
Speaker 5: So if.
Speaker 7: The solidarity of this locker room, we can say they're
Speaker 7: not showing it on the field right now, that is
Speaker 7: one hundred percent true. But we also know we having
Speaker 7: walked through this locker room every day and we'll walk
Speaker 7: through it again in about an hour or so from now,
Speaker 7: the solidarity, solidarity is there. If it weren't there, then
Speaker 7: I would be concerned about this guy chirping at this
Speaker 7: guy chirping at that guy, because those fractures are going
Speaker 7: to just grow and they're going to spiderway block on
Speaker 7: a windshield.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 7: But when I know the Marcus Lawrence and Michael Parsons
Speaker 7: are like this, When I know that treyvon Diggs and
Speaker 7: Michael Parsons are like this, Citie Lamb and Dak Prescott
Speaker 7: best of friends, Zekiel. When I know that's the case,
Speaker 7: I actually invite you to give tough love and challenge
Speaker 7: your brother like that, and for them to do the
Speaker 7: inverse because the optics aren't great. Fine, but if we're
Speaker 7: talking athletes and we're talking competitors, that's what I want
Speaker 7: to see. And knowing that the foundation is strong, I'm
Speaker 7: much less concerned about, Oh, well, you're chipping away at
Speaker 7: my confidence.
Speaker 5: No, you're my brother. Treat me like that.
Speaker 7: If I'm messing up out there, call me out on that, Josh,
Speaker 7: and I would hope that you would want me to
Speaker 7: do the same. And once we get through this tough
Speaker 7: love and get through this hard time, then yeah, we
Speaker 7: can be good again.
Speaker 4: But let's come through this hard times make better man, Right.
Speaker 5: Let's get through this. Like there's a time to rub
Speaker 5: your back, rub your brother's back, and.
Speaker 7: There's a time to look them in the face and say, hey,
Speaker 7: you've got to be better than what you're doing right now.
Speaker 5: And I invite the same. So the fact that those
Speaker 5: variables are there.
Speaker 7: Worried about the locker room fracturing, I'm worried about winning
Speaker 7: these games, and this is how you got to win games.
Speaker 7: Get in the face of your brother and say I'm
Speaker 7: going to do better, but you have to match me.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and that should be the mentality going forward. Like currently,
Speaker 6: right now as we sit, this is a bad team.
Speaker 6: They don't sit as we sit right now, but you
Speaker 6: don't have bad players.
Speaker 3: It's no, there's all pros on every level.
Speaker 5: It is crazy to me.
Speaker 6: But and this is something that McCarthy has said time
Speaker 6: and time again so far this month. And you know,
Speaker 6: it's still September twenty third, but this is September football,
Speaker 6: and I felt this way obviously having a number one
Speaker 6: record right now, you're playing these really great teams that
Speaker 6: were great last year too. And you know, but Baltimore
Speaker 6: is one and two in the same position that we
Speaker 6: are currently. They beat us, granted, but their record is
Speaker 6: the same. Yeah, you know, so I think you have
Speaker 6: to take it with a grain of salt and understand, like, Okay,
Speaker 6: this is a new install. You have a brand new
Speaker 6: coordinator coming into too this season. It's not the same
Speaker 6: and it's a completely different personnel from last year two
Speaker 6: and how he utilizes it. Isaiah said that on this
Speaker 6: podcast before as well. So it's not going to be
Speaker 6: you know, just flicking on a switch and it's like,
Speaker 6: oh it's going to work now. It's like, this is
Speaker 6: why you need this hard times. This is hopefully, you know,
Speaker 6: looking up after this. But then again, you have the
Speaker 6: forty nine ers coming into town, who are also wanted
Speaker 6: to do that.
Speaker 5: You have the Detroit Lions coming in town.
Speaker 6: Yeah, the Detroit Lions coming into town. It's tough to
Speaker 6: judge a team at this point in the season.
Speaker 5: And but but we're at this point of the season.
Speaker 5: So all we can say is you can only judge.
Speaker 3: But they're a bad football team.
Speaker 4: They're a bad football team right now playing bad football. Yes,
Speaker 4: not bad players.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would agree. I would agree.
Speaker 1: And there's a chance to try and find a way
Speaker 1: to rectify that this this upcoming week.
Speaker 3: You get it.
Speaker 1: You got a short week ahead. Let's take our second break.
Speaker 1: When we come back, is it time to press the
Speaker 1: panic button? And if not, which I don't think any
Speaker 1: of us are pressing it yet, fans might be. If
Speaker 1: it's not time to press the panic button, win will
Speaker 1: be that time when we come back.

Speaker 1: The Cowboys didn't do theirs on Sunday twenty eight to
Speaker 1: twenty five, the final Okay, one and two, you get
Speaker 1: the impressive win in week one, everything clicks right, everybody's excited.
Speaker 3: Everybody's saying, oh, they're gonna be two and oh maybe.
Speaker 1: Three and oh they could have a chance to go
Speaker 1: into Thursday Night football in the first short week of
Speaker 1: the year.
Speaker 3: Quick turnaround and play the Giants to go to four.
Speaker 1: No this year, Well that's not the case. No, are
Speaker 1: you hitting the panic button now? You turn it over
Speaker 1: the Quaker Roads Bowl. You hitting the panic button at
Speaker 1: this point? And if you aren't, when is that time.
Speaker 6: For I'm doing the the dad getting a donut, you
Speaker 6: know what I mean, I'm doing one of these on
Speaker 6: the panic button, you know what i mean.
Speaker 5: I'm just like maybe.
Speaker 6: Not quite yet, not quite hitting the panic button. If
Speaker 6: we win against the Giants. That'll be two and two. However,
Speaker 6: that is also not a good team, so I'm not optimistic.
Speaker 6: After we beat the Giants, we will beat the Giants.
Speaker 6: I'm pretty convinced in that aspect. Sand Fran That's that's
Speaker 6: the one San Francisco. That to me after the bye week,
Speaker 6: after the bye week, correct, right, Yes, yeah, we gate.
Speaker 4: That is a prove it game.
Speaker 6: That is where I'll be headed either way positive negative.
Speaker 6: To me, that is the the barometer of the season
Speaker 6: for me until we get to Thanksgiving.
Speaker 5: Okay, that's a good one. No, I'm not hitting the
Speaker 5: pennant button yet. One and two.
Speaker 7: It's not the end of the world. Still September football.
Speaker 7: You got a long ways to go. But I'm not
Speaker 7: going to take my panic button and put it in
Speaker 7: my carry on and not bring it back out until
Speaker 7: like week sixteen. Right, No, I'm it's going to be
Speaker 7: right about right in the holster. Because it's one and two.
Speaker 7: I want to say, if they dropped this game to
Speaker 7: a bad team in the New York Giants, that I'm
Speaker 7: willing to you know, But I think then you bounce
Speaker 7: back and you beat the Steelers. I'm looking I keep
Speaker 7: looking at the Detroit Lions. I keep looking at the
Speaker 7: Detroit Lions. That's your next home game. You've lost now
Speaker 7: three in a row at home, two of which were blowouts,
Speaker 7: one of which was a playoff blowout.
Speaker 1: Think back to the Lions game that was the one
Speaker 1: then that and how close that was lost?
Speaker 7: Controversial ineligible man, you know, man not declared that they're
Speaker 7: going to come in with a vengeance.
Speaker 3: They are.
Speaker 7: Jeez, man, you lose against the Giants, you know what
Speaker 7: you lose against the Giants. You lose against the Giants,
Speaker 7: and I'm slapping the pennant. But and you got to
Speaker 7: get on the wire and look for, you know, possible
Speaker 7: trade scenarios and who's it free? Because if you losing
Speaker 7: to the Giants, because the conversation right now is you're
Speaker 7: beating bad teams, you're losing to good teams or teams
Speaker 7: that have the potential to be good, like the Baltimore Ravens.
Speaker 7: But if you going to New York and you let
Speaker 7: that team beat you, and you go to one and
Speaker 7: three because you let that team beat you, where's your
Speaker 7: mental what does your mental do going in? Because then
Speaker 7: for there you got to go into Pittsburgh, which is
Speaker 7: notoriously hostile territory and then you have to come back
Speaker 7: and face the line. So I think that possibly losing
Speaker 7: to the Giants would create like this butterfly effect that
Speaker 7: and it guess what you got to buy a weekend,
Speaker 7: then you face the forty nine is it could cascade
Speaker 7: from there. And that's my fear is that if you
Speaker 7: lose against the Giants, it starts to cast gad.
Speaker 1: So kind of along those same lines, and to kind
Speaker 1: of give my panic button scenario, it's one of the
Speaker 1: two next, next two games.
Speaker 3: You have to win both of these games for me
Speaker 3: not to hit the panting button.
Speaker 1: Because I'm hovering over it right now because it's funny
Speaker 1: because Dak Prescott.
Speaker 3: Walk into the locker room yesterday, you guys were there.
Speaker 1: He said, hop off if you want to, hop off
Speaker 1: the bat bandwagon, hop off the train, if you want
Speaker 1: to kind of maybe be a motivational thing, maybe it
Speaker 1: be just a conversation starter, whatever it is.
Speaker 3: He's saying, stop believing in us.
Speaker 1: Now, and you'll probably pay down the line, or at
Speaker 1: least that's how they believe it. If you drop one
Speaker 1: of these next two games, you will be below five
Speaker 1: hundred before you play the Detroit Lions, who want to
Speaker 1: absolutely kick your butt at home. You'll go into a
Speaker 1: bio week and sure you might get right in the
Speaker 1: bio week. That's fantastic. I do have I have zero
Speaker 1: faith that you beat the San Francisco forty nine ers
Speaker 1: and try and prove me wrong, because you have never
Speaker 1: beaten the San Francisco forty nine ers under Mike McCarthy.
Speaker 1: In a way I'm no twenty twenty that doesn't really
Speaker 1: count in a way that gives me hope you can
Speaker 1: beat them in this twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3: The year of Our Lord. There's no way, there's no
Speaker 3: way you're beating San Francisco.
Speaker 4: Right They're a one and two team right now, and
Speaker 4: they're one and two.
Speaker 3: They have their own problems. I still don't believe, but
Speaker 3: I still don't believe it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but the demon is the demon. Okay, demon is it?
Speaker 5: And that is Pazuzu? Like that that is that is
Speaker 5: a demon.
Speaker 3: Ul Let let me keep it further.
Speaker 1: The Atlanta Falcons look like a formidable opponent in the
Speaker 1: NFC screw, followed by the Eagles, who are now two
Speaker 1: and one and just beat the team that beat your
Speaker 1: ass last week. Forty four to seventeen. And then you
Speaker 1: turn around and you play the Houston Texans at home.
Speaker 1: Guess what they want to do at at and T Stadium.
Speaker 1: The target is on your back because you are the
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys. You have two weeks to fit figure it out,
Speaker 1: or you may just see this thing snowball into the
Speaker 1: worst season the Cowboys have seen in a long long time.
Speaker 1: The panic button is right here. I'm not pressing it yet,
Speaker 1: but in a very short moment, if you lose one
Speaker 1: of these next two games and you do not get
Speaker 1: right as a football team, I'm hitting that thing, and
Speaker 1: I am by far blowing the thing up in terms
Speaker 1: of not the team, but the panic button.
Speaker 3: I'm hammering it. Man.
Speaker 6: If you lose both of the next two games, that
Speaker 6: I would take this this and I would throw it
Speaker 6: through that window.
Speaker 4: Sorry, if you use only one of the next two,
Speaker 4: lo is only.
Speaker 1: One of the two because even then you're two and three. Uh,
Speaker 1: I mean I don't see them. Okay, not okay, but
Speaker 1: I'm not okay.
Speaker 3: I'm hitting it.
Speaker 1: If I lose one of the next two, if you're
Speaker 1: two and three, I'm I'm hitting it because two and
Speaker 1: four Detroit two and three, Walking two and five, San
Speaker 1: Francisco two and six, Atlanta two and seven, at Philadelphia
Speaker 1: two and eight.
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't have faith they beat.
Speaker 1: Any of those teams if they lose to either the
Speaker 1: Steelers or the Giants. And if that's the case, two
Speaker 1: and eight might be your future.
Speaker 5: It may not be.
Speaker 3: You can figure it out along the way. You can
Speaker 3: win some of those games.
Speaker 1: If you do, I think the Cowboys will be two
Speaker 1: and eight. No, but I do think they need to
Speaker 1: figure it out of it. Yeah, that's how totally for me.
Speaker 1: It's the Giants. You beat the Giants, and even if
Speaker 1: you lose to the Steelers. After defeating the Giants, I'm
Speaker 1: not going to hit the panic button. It still doesn't
Speaker 1: feel great. We still have questions. We will talk about it,
Speaker 1: like what the hell is going on? You know, string
Speaker 1: together some wins for crying out loud. But contrarily, if
Speaker 1: you lose to the Giants, the snowball is it's just
Speaker 1: it's just it's waiting for you, dude. So that could
Speaker 1: be the pivot point of what could end up being
Speaker 1: a terrible season. So please, I beseech thee.
Speaker 7: Go into that stadium and dog walk them and Yeah, afterwards,
Speaker 7: we'll feel good. We're not going to treat it like
Speaker 7: you beat the Ravens or the Saints or the Chiefs
Speaker 7: or the forty nine ers, but we will celebrate eight
Speaker 7: you having escaped a possible pivot point that would turn
Speaker 7: the season into hell on wheels. And we can then say,
Speaker 7: let's talk about the Steelers now they will they not?
Speaker 7: But then at that point, if they lose to the Steelers,
Speaker 7: I'll be upset, but I won't panic because at least
Speaker 7: they avoided theoretically the landmine.
Speaker 5: I think New York Giants is the landmine.
Speaker 1: I can kind of see some of the comments based
Speaker 1: off of that last rant I went on, just starting
Speaker 1: to pile up and saying, oh, you're you're not optimistic.
Speaker 1: Whatever it may be, you might be a pessimenst. I'm
Speaker 1: usually an optimist on this show.
Speaker 3: I'm real. I try and be real as much as possible.
Speaker 1: I have my opinions, and yes, I'm around the team,
Speaker 1: and so I hear their opinions too, and there's a
Speaker 1: lot of times where I will.
Speaker 3: Back up what they're trying to do. I just don't
Speaker 3: see it right now, and I picked them to lose
Speaker 3: this week.
Speaker 1: I picked them to lose, actually, and almost the same
Speaker 1: score twenty seven to twenty three was.
Speaker 5: My score last week.
Speaker 3: I got one point off.
Speaker 1: No, I picked the Ravens. Oh yes, yes, right, So
Speaker 1: I was one point off from both scores. There's twenty
Speaker 1: eight twenty five, and I was one point ahead of that.
Speaker 1: I picked a four point Ravens win and it ended
Speaker 1: up being a three point Ravens win. So it was
Speaker 1: right around the score that I thought would happen. I
Speaker 1: thought they would lose this week because I didn't believe
Speaker 1: it going into it. It's the way that they've been
Speaker 1: beat not only against New Orleans, but then the first
Speaker 1: three quarters against Baltimore. Just that's what's discouraging to me,
Speaker 1: and that's why I think this team has to get
Speaker 1: right and they have to do it now.
Speaker 4: Just very little fight. I'm seeing very little fight.
Speaker 1: Finally to the fourth quarter, but even that might have
Speaker 1: been Baltimore letting off the gaps.
Speaker 3: But there it happened.
Speaker 7: It wasn't prevent It was a lot of cover zero.
Speaker 7: It was a lot of covert they were going, they
Speaker 7: were sending them and that's.
Speaker 1: When possession DAK play lights out.
Speaker 5: I mean, there are a lot of things covered.
Speaker 7: I mean so again, and I said it at the
Speaker 7: beginning of the show, and I said it two or
Speaker 7: three times. I care more about the eleven the previous
Speaker 7: eleven quarters, more than I care about what we saw
Speaker 7: in the fourth quarter of this recent game, because the
Speaker 7: data supports that they are a bad team right now.
Speaker 7: But it's also true that they might have come alive
Speaker 7: in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 5: It might have.
Speaker 7: It didn't matter in that game, too little, too late.
Speaker 7: The only thing you can hope is that this team
Speaker 7: uses that and carries it over into Thursday on a
Speaker 7: short week, and uses it to just flame boil the Giants.
Speaker 7: Because if you don't, then yes, flip this bowl over
Speaker 7: and give me Menier, give me the hammer of thor
Speaker 7: And I'm smashing the panic button because I just I
Speaker 7: can just the foreshadowing of what that might come, what
Speaker 7: that might bring mentally to the locker room, from just
Speaker 7: the dynamics of now you have to start wondering exactly
Speaker 7: how much longer they would remain bought in.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and that's a dangerous conversation.
Speaker 7: We're not happy. That's not the conversation right now. But
Speaker 7: you lose against the Giants and it's a conversation.
Speaker 5: Yes, it totally is.
Speaker 1: Totally is if if the fourth quarter, the fourth quarter
Speaker 1: gives me hope they can build on it. It didn't
Speaker 1: give me hope in the game. You can ask Barry
Speaker 1: and Isaiah Nate.
Speaker 3: I was sitting there.
Speaker 1: I was like, they're not They're not coming back. They're
Speaker 1: they're gonna get close, They're gonna do everything they can.
Speaker 1: I don't think they'll win this football game, sure enough,
Speaker 1: they didn't. But what it does give me hope toward
Speaker 1: is building. Like you said, and maybe Cavati Turpin has
Speaker 1: some confidence, maybe Jalen Tolbert has some confidence, Dak Prescott
Speaker 1: has a little more trust in each of those guys,
Speaker 1: and it opens up the passing game a little bit more.
Speaker 3: You gotta build on it. If not, it's all a waste.
Speaker 1: And I think if if it wasn't for that fourth quarter,
Speaker 1: I think I would have picked the Giants this week.
Speaker 3: I don't know if I'll pick them. I'm still I'm
Speaker 3: still a little up some I'm a little frustrated.
Speaker 1: I haven't decided any but I can tell you what
Speaker 1: if it was the same level of twenty eight to six,
Speaker 1: where the Ravens were beating you down in the first
Speaker 1: three quarters.
Speaker 3: I think I would have picked New York this week.
Speaker 1: And I wouldn't have batted deny at it unless you
Speaker 1: only have a couple of days to know.
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is a change to change the script, right.
Speaker 7: What I want to see is and I touched on
Speaker 7: it really quickly. Seedee Lamb frustrated against the forty nine
Speaker 7: ers in San Francisco, that whole body language thing. And
Speaker 7: then we had this similar conversation and then Ceedee Lamb
Speaker 7: went off over the course of the.
Speaker 5: Rest of the season.
Speaker 3: Love it.
Speaker 5: Do it again.
Speaker 3: That'd be awesome, Do it again. All right, we'll be
Speaker 3: back tomorrow.
Speaker 1: We are going to take some phone calls tomorrow, maybe
Speaker 1: only a few, so you might want to get on
Speaker 1: the line early eight at eight A five five two
Speaker 1: two ninety seven. It is a short week and we
Speaker 1: are going to turn the page quickly because that's what
Speaker 1: the Cowboys have to do. That's what we've got to
Speaker 1: do in a short week like this, from Sunday to Thursday,
Speaker 1: you don't have a ton of time to dwell on it.
Speaker 1: We're going to take a look ahead and give a
Speaker 1: quick preview to the Giants game. On Thursday, so lots
Speaker 1: to look forward to in the week, and hopefully a
Speaker 1: rebound from your one and two Dallas Cowboys for Chris Beam,
Speaker 1: Josh Rodriguez, Patrick Noci Walker. I'm Kyle Yeoman saying so
Speaker 1: long from the Star on Frisco.
Speaker 3: We'll see you tomorrow.
