<v Speaker 1>have here on Talking Cowboys, and just like we have

0:01:06.080 --> 0:01:08.360
<v Speaker 1>been for the last couple of years. We've got Rob

0:01:08.440 --> 0:01:12.280
<v Speaker 1>pe Island back in the building, home safe from Washington.

<v Speaker 1>be back. We've got Isaiah stand Back, heck My Harrison,

0:01:21.040 --> 0:01:23.280
<v Speaker 1>Chris Beam as always, I'm Kyle Yemen's Rob What was

0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:25.360
<v Speaker 1>it like getting back for you yesterday? Was it a

0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:28.959
<v Speaker 1>just a hassle or was it what happened there? Oh

0:01:29.040 --> 0:01:32.600
<v Speaker 1>we missed our flight Sunday night? Why was that? Just

0:01:32.800 --> 0:01:34.759
<v Speaker 1>keep it simple. We were trying to catch a flight

0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:38.039
<v Speaker 1>out of Baltimore after the game, okay, and we almost

0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:41.720
<v Speaker 1>made it. But you know, that game lasted a little

0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:43.800
<v Speaker 1>longer than we'd hoped. You know, I was hoping they

0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:47.200
<v Speaker 1>could just run the clock out handed to Zeke like

0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:49.720
<v Speaker 1>forty times and get out of there. Didn't happen. Got

0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:53.120
<v Speaker 1>a new flight. Props to the our travel staff, Tiff,

0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:56.400
<v Speaker 1>and he did a great job. Awesome. Yeah, yeah, she's fantastic.

0:01:56.440 --> 0:01:58.360
<v Speaker 1>But it was funny because we were talking about that

0:01:58.480 --> 0:02:01.680
<v Speaker 1>in studios, like, man, this game is taken forever. Even then,

0:02:01.760 --> 0:02:04.600
<v Speaker 1>even before the fourth quarter, you were talking about there

0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:06.840
<v Speaker 1>were twelve minutes left in this game. This is nuts.

0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:09.280
<v Speaker 1>Why is it? Why is this taking so long? And

0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:11.119
<v Speaker 1>then he got into the final parts of the fourth

0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:13.239
<v Speaker 1>quarter where there was an actual comeback and there was

0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:18.119
<v Speaker 1>actually a game. It was dragged one. So no rough riders, No,

0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:22.960
<v Speaker 1>we got fights breaking out. You know, things happen, you know, rivalries. Yeah,

0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:25.120
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't a clean three hour game. That's okay, not

0:02:25.200 --> 0:02:27.120
<v Speaker 1>at all. We're gonna talk about it today. It was

0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:35.360
<v Speaker 1>no drag on best bars right there. I was like,

0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:40.040
<v Speaker 1>come on, okay, heck, I just gave him in the

0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:42.440
<v Speaker 1>stak face in a good way, in a good way.

0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:45.800
<v Speaker 1>But everybody doing all right today? Peachy bro peachy. We

0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:48.160
<v Speaker 1>get to talk to Cowboys Nation again. Today, always one

0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:50.799
<v Speaker 1>of our favorite days. We win, we win, we won

0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:53.960
<v Speaker 1>the game. How the Cowboy Nation gonna feel? That is

0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:56.480
<v Speaker 1>my question? It's so up and down right now. I'm

0:02:56.520 --> 0:02:58.720
<v Speaker 1>really trying to figure out do you think it's gonna

0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:01.000
<v Speaker 1>be more negative or more POSI I'm waiting to see.

0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:03.160
<v Speaker 1>I really am waiting to see this. I want to

0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:06.079
<v Speaker 1>see after we have this news from from rat Pi. Oh,

0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:07.760
<v Speaker 1>we'll get the news and notes, but I want to hear.

0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:10.160
<v Speaker 1>Do you think it's gonna be positive or negative? I

0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:13.840
<v Speaker 1>think it really depends. Only think it's gonna be Yeah. Well,

0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:16.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean with your Twitter notification does get a little negative.

0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:18.280
<v Speaker 1>So let's go ahead and jump into it. News and

0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:21.000
<v Speaker 1>notes were Rob Phillips, what's going on? What did we

0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:26.400
<v Speaker 1>learn yesterday? Cedric Wilson's got COVID. Unfortunately he tested positive.

0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:29.600
<v Speaker 1>Um got a chance to be back this week. I

0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:32.359
<v Speaker 1>guess if you test negative and all that twice in

0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:36.080
<v Speaker 1>a twenty four hour period doesn't have symptoms. So we'll

0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:40.720
<v Speaker 1>see there. Um and Tyrann Smith will not play against

0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:46.040
<v Speaker 1>the Giants tackle So it's just plugging plugging holes on

0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:49.360
<v Speaker 1>the ship man. So they did an MRI yesterday. They

0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:52.440
<v Speaker 1>said everything looked good. Obviously it's the same ankle that

0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:54.640
<v Speaker 1>he's been dealing with the issues on, so it's just

0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:58.520
<v Speaker 1>worse than what was already bad. I'm trying to figure

0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:01.960
<v Speaker 1>out what spread doesn't go away? Is that what it is?

0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:05.560
<v Speaker 1>Or was it? Yeah? Which what's it? I think it's both.

0:04:05.680 --> 0:04:07.280
<v Speaker 1>I think I think he had the high ankle and

0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:09.560
<v Speaker 1>I think he's those spurs like you've been saying, they

0:04:09.560 --> 0:04:12.280
<v Speaker 1>don't they don't go away. So Um, but it looked

0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:15.960
<v Speaker 1>like he got rolled up on right, Yeah it was yeah,

0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:20.000
<v Speaker 1>Now walking he looked like he was walking okay post

0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:23.240
<v Speaker 1>game afterwards, So and Jerry was on the fan just

0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:26.400
<v Speaker 1>now and it didn't sound like they're concerned about him,

0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:29.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, moving forward into the postseason, assuming they can

0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:32.360
<v Speaker 1>get there. Um, I don't know how long this is

0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:34.599
<v Speaker 1>gonna last. Certainly this week he will not play, and

0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:36.880
<v Speaker 1>he indicated that Terrence Steele will be your starting left

0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:41.400
<v Speaker 1>tackle on Sunday. Already gave that information up about sick. Yeah,

0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:45.800
<v Speaker 1>who do you replace him with? And you know, it's

0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:49.320
<v Speaker 1>interesting because they started with Niseki right, Yeah, And I

0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:51.559
<v Speaker 1>wonder if that had to do with Hey, Terrence Steele

0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:54.680
<v Speaker 1>had COVID coming off the COVID list. Let's not throw

0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:58.600
<v Speaker 1>too much at him his first week back. And then uh,

0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:01.120
<v Speaker 1>and then when Lyle down, they had no choice but

0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:03.840
<v Speaker 1>to go with both backups. Now, I thought Lyle went

0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:08.080
<v Speaker 1>down prior to he went down the game. Yeah, he

0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:10.760
<v Speaker 1>left the game at one point, and Terren Steele came

0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:13.400
<v Speaker 1>in at right tackle. He did yes early in the game,

0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:16.440
<v Speaker 1>and then at left tackle when Tyrn went down, it

0:05:16.440 --> 0:05:18.599
<v Speaker 1>was automatically seventy nine and seventy eight was on the

0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:24.960
<v Speaker 1>other side. So Tyrn happened after Lyle's ejection. Chris Beam

0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:26.720
<v Speaker 1>fact check it. We're gonna have to go back and

0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:29.080
<v Speaker 1>look at it either way either way. I mean, I

0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:31.960
<v Speaker 1>want to say, before the ejection, there was a time

0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:34.440
<v Speaker 1>where seventy nine was at the left tackle and ty

0:05:34.520 --> 0:05:36.080
<v Speaker 1>and Secky and then you had Terren Steele at the

0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:37.640
<v Speaker 1>right tackle, but I have to go I'm gonna have

0:05:37.680 --> 0:05:39.000
<v Speaker 1>to go back and look at it. I didn't chart

0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:41.000
<v Speaker 1>it or okay, so well, that would have been interesting

0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:45.000
<v Speaker 1>obviously if if Tyren Smith goes down and instead of

0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:47.160
<v Speaker 1>coming off with steel, they come up with in ski

0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:49.760
<v Speaker 1>and then you know, in the other orders. So I

0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:53.120
<v Speaker 1>don't know. I guess that that does bring an interesting wrinkle.

0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:56.120
<v Speaker 1>But he could come up if there is some discipline

0:05:56.200 --> 0:05:58.719
<v Speaker 1>handed down by the NFL. Now, I don't think the NFL,

0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:01.240
<v Speaker 1>or excuse me, the Cowboys believe the NFL is going

0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:04.840
<v Speaker 1>to bring down any sort of discipline on Lyle Collins, right,

0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:07.400
<v Speaker 1>they don't anticipate it, or maybe it's just up in

0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:10.520
<v Speaker 1>the air. According to NFL Network, he will not be suspended. Okay,

0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:12.960
<v Speaker 1>now I want to say. NFL Network reported Tristan Hill

0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:17.480
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't be suspended either for the Raiders punch, and he was.

0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:20.200
<v Speaker 1>But oh, I mean this, I think this is a

0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:22.839
<v Speaker 1>little different. I don't know. I didn't I'm sorry. I

0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:26.120
<v Speaker 1>only caught like ten minutes of the show driving home. Yes, okay, um,

0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:28.000
<v Speaker 1>but I don't know how much I'll touched him. But

0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:30.039
<v Speaker 1>this was different. This is in the field of play,

0:06:30.720 --> 0:06:32.920
<v Speaker 1>things get heated. I think the thing that got Tristan

0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:37.600
<v Speaker 1>Hill was he waited for Simpson after the game midfield

0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:41.680
<v Speaker 1>bike racks, bro, Yeah, like three o'clock bike racks, And

0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:44.320
<v Speaker 1>that's what got him suspended. He was about that life. Yeah,

0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:46.159
<v Speaker 1>and it was outside of the field of play. No

0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:48.919
<v Speaker 1>whistles were being blown. There's not supposed to be any physicality,

0:06:48.960 --> 0:06:51.719
<v Speaker 1>whereas the heat of the moment really kind of was

0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:57.479
<v Speaker 1>what was Lyle? You respect more both, do you Tristan

0:06:57.680 --> 0:07:01.000
<v Speaker 1>or Lyle? Lyle? For sure? But based off of what

0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:04.719
<v Speaker 1>happened didn't happen last year? Yeah? Yeah, I'm why what

0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:07.200
<v Speaker 1>do you think you think Tristan Hill was warrant Tristan

0:07:07.240 --> 0:07:12.520
<v Speaker 1>about that life. Obviously appreciate the fire, but I don't

0:07:12.560 --> 0:07:15.360
<v Speaker 1>know if I appreciate the waiting for him at the logo,

0:07:15.640 --> 0:07:19.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm stranger things have happened. I love that Isaiah feels

0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:21.480
<v Speaker 1>that way because he told us last week I don't

0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:25.080
<v Speaker 1>let things go easy, you know, so like Tristan didn't

0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:27.080
<v Speaker 1>let it go easy. Tristan was like, you got to

0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:30.200
<v Speaker 1>see me about this, right, You're gonna have to answer

0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:33.200
<v Speaker 1>for what you have said. Okay, uh, it's kind of

0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:36.400
<v Speaker 1>speaking on the same topic of offensive line. We've talked

0:07:36.440 --> 0:07:38.320
<v Speaker 1>about the left tackle and we at least know that

0:07:38.360 --> 0:07:40.320
<v Speaker 1>it is Terrence Steal this week, and we'll talk about

0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:42.520
<v Speaker 1>that in our previews later in the week. But they're

0:07:42.520 --> 0:07:46.320
<v Speaker 1>also was An alluded to a change with Steven Jones

0:07:46.360 --> 0:07:49.680
<v Speaker 1>on the fan yesterday talking about how basically, and I'm

0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:52.640
<v Speaker 1>paraphrasing here, but the door is open for the coaches

0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:55.640
<v Speaker 1>to have a conversation to make a decision on whether

0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:58.559
<v Speaker 1>or not Connor McGovern or, Connor Williams is the best

0:07:58.560 --> 0:08:01.240
<v Speaker 1>player to play and start and play the majority of

0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:04.040
<v Speaker 1>the snaps at left guard. So I want to open

0:08:04.120 --> 0:08:08.240
<v Speaker 1>that same conversation up here if Talking Cowboys was the

0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:11.440
<v Speaker 1>coaching staff and we're sitting around a room and we've

0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:13.640
<v Speaker 1>got the projectors up on the screen and we're pointing

0:08:13.640 --> 0:08:15.680
<v Speaker 1>at the film based off of what all of us

0:08:15.680 --> 0:08:18.920
<v Speaker 1>have seen to this point, who would you want as

0:08:18.960 --> 0:08:22.440
<v Speaker 1>the starter at left guard, Connor McGovern or, Connor Williams.

0:08:22.640 --> 0:08:25.200
<v Speaker 1>And I think we talked about it so much just

0:08:25.240 --> 0:08:28.920
<v Speaker 1>seeing Connor Williams get abused, I mean it just losing

0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:32.840
<v Speaker 1>battles that we thought that McGovern would be better for

0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:36.880
<v Speaker 1>the left guard position, and honestly, we hadn't seen anything different.

0:08:36.960 --> 0:08:40.200
<v Speaker 1>I've seen McGovern being situations where he's getting owned as well.

0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:45.280
<v Speaker 1>So at this point it's like, you know, open competition.

0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:47.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, thorow stick in the room. Whichever guy comes

0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:50.120
<v Speaker 1>out is the winner. So it's just really at this

0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:52.679
<v Speaker 1>point trying to figure out where the balance is because

0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:56.600
<v Speaker 1>I think defensive defenses has figured out where the weakness

0:08:56.720 --> 0:08:59.120
<v Speaker 1>is in our offensive line. And you saw to run

0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:02.240
<v Speaker 1>pain you go back and watch that watching Footman d run.

0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:06.320
<v Speaker 1>Payne was just giving McGovern and be honest, the business

0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:09.520
<v Speaker 1>in the middle of the field. And Jonathan Allen obviously didn't.

0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:12.120
<v Speaker 1>He didn't play the majority of staffs that he would have,

0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:16.560
<v Speaker 1>but even Jonathan Allen was was all of the pressure

0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:18.800
<v Speaker 1>that we were encountering was coming from the middle of

0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:21.719
<v Speaker 1>the field. So it's it's definitely something to look at.

0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:27.960
<v Speaker 1>Neville Gallim, Yeah you want to. I mean we saw

0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:30.839
<v Speaker 1>the physicality from him that some strange I'm with heck

0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:35.360
<v Speaker 1>with Parsons and running back and completely serious on that,

0:09:35.520 --> 0:09:38.600
<v Speaker 1>like I want Parsons, want that to happen. The mail

0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:41.439
<v Speaker 1>bag this morning on the website, I guess let's go.

0:09:41.520 --> 0:09:44.559
<v Speaker 1>That was a question from a fan. Nice. Uh No,

0:09:44.720 --> 0:09:46.959
<v Speaker 1>I mean I'm with you. Heck, it doesn't matter at

0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:48.480
<v Speaker 1>this point. I mean, I think you gave the other

0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:51.280
<v Speaker 1>guy a chance, McGovern, and you know he didn't show

0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:53.840
<v Speaker 1>that he was much better. So you know, it doesn't

0:09:53.840 --> 0:09:55.880
<v Speaker 1>matter which Connor bro you go with at this point

0:09:55.880 --> 0:09:57.680
<v Speaker 1>in time. I think that they're still going to be

0:09:57.720 --> 0:09:59.760
<v Speaker 1>the weak link on this offensive line. And as a

0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:02.680
<v Speaker 1>even as a coordinator, um, you are excited about that

0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:05.040
<v Speaker 1>because you can pinpoint where they're weekend and if you

0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:07.199
<v Speaker 1>can find a weak link, then you can find a scene.

0:10:07.960 --> 0:10:09.760
<v Speaker 1>So let me just throw it this way to you

0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:11.600
<v Speaker 1>real quickly, since you are going to ride a fence

0:10:11.720 --> 0:10:17.160
<v Speaker 1>like that. Connor Williams in terms of holding penalties way

0:10:17.200 --> 0:10:19.600
<v Speaker 1>more than Connor McGovern. The holding penalties are down since

0:10:19.679 --> 0:10:22.880
<v Speaker 1>McGovern took over. However, Connor McGovern has given up seven

0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:25.319
<v Speaker 1>pressures over the last two games. I'm not going to

0:10:25.400 --> 0:10:27.680
<v Speaker 1>tell you how many sacks he's given up, but seven

0:10:27.720 --> 0:10:33.240
<v Speaker 1>pressures against the Washington football team and against New Orleans wins. Yeah,

0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:36.319
<v Speaker 1>which one would you rather go with? You could? You

0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:40.160
<v Speaker 1>can make him stop holding. You can teach Williams to

0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:42.920
<v Speaker 1>not hold. You can find him for every hold he has.

0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:44.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean, there's a whole lot of ways you can

0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:47.880
<v Speaker 1>stop somebody from from creating penalties. There's that coaches have

0:10:47.920 --> 0:10:49.800
<v Speaker 1>a lot of power inside this inside of this building,

0:10:49.840 --> 0:10:51.760
<v Speaker 1>so and you can start, you can start handing down

0:10:51.800 --> 0:10:53.480
<v Speaker 1>fines for every time you have a holding penalty. He'll

0:10:53.480 --> 0:10:55.199
<v Speaker 1>stop real quick, in a hurry. Have you been pressures

0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:57.199
<v Speaker 1>that's done that. I've been on a team that's find

0:10:57.240 --> 0:11:00.880
<v Speaker 1>you for being late to meetings for yeah, for executing assignments.

0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:04.880
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely that the New England area you never know. I mean,

0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:09.360
<v Speaker 1>but I mean you can't stop somebody from getting beat, right,

0:11:09.360 --> 0:11:11.360
<v Speaker 1>And I guess you could say that holding is a

0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:13.440
<v Speaker 1>is a product of getting beat as well. That's why

0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:15.760
<v Speaker 1>I say it doesn't really matter which connor Bro you

0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:17.960
<v Speaker 1>go with, So it's really a toss up. I mean,

0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:21.720
<v Speaker 1>the teams are gonna highlight that part of the connor Bro.

0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:25.600
<v Speaker 1>Doesn't matter which one, be honest, the least veteran player

0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:27.280
<v Speaker 1>on this office a line. I'm going right at those

0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:32.079
<v Speaker 1>two individuals. I would make the switch. And it's not

0:11:32.679 --> 0:11:35.080
<v Speaker 1>the problems they're having or not just Connor McGovern let

0:11:35.120 --> 0:11:36.679
<v Speaker 1>me just say that I think he's a good young player.

0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:38.920
<v Speaker 1>He's got a lot of talent. They've told us that

0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:41.240
<v Speaker 1>he's probably at this point his career more comfortable with

0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:43.640
<v Speaker 1>right guard than he is left guard. And they decided

0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:46.640
<v Speaker 1>to make that switch because they were, look, they were

0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:49.280
<v Speaker 1>so concerned about these penalties and they felt like, I

0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:52.719
<v Speaker 1>think they felt like the refs are looking for it

0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:56.160
<v Speaker 1>because of what has been on tape, and I think

0:11:56.160 --> 0:12:00.760
<v Speaker 1>maybe they sacrificed overall production at that position to do that.

0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:03.520
<v Speaker 1>You know, I think at this point Connor Williams is

0:12:03.520 --> 0:12:06.880
<v Speaker 1>a more experienced, better left guard, and over the entire

0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:08.960
<v Speaker 1>course of the snaps, I don't think he's been that

0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:11.520
<v Speaker 1>bad of a blocker this year, and I think the

0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:15.960
<v Speaker 1>running game probably is better in terms of his agility

0:12:16.000 --> 0:12:18.040
<v Speaker 1>and mobility to pull and get things going on the

0:12:18.040 --> 0:12:20.560
<v Speaker 1>outside and get some of those edge runs going. I

0:12:20.600 --> 0:12:22.360
<v Speaker 1>would look at making that switch. I don't know if

0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:25.160
<v Speaker 1>they will. When you say a better block, are you

0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:28.319
<v Speaker 1>saying Williams? Are McGovern you say Connor? Oh? Sorry, I

0:12:28.600 --> 0:12:31.080
<v Speaker 1>think Williams is a better I think I think he's

0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:35.000
<v Speaker 1>more he's more equipped to do it right now personally,

0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:37.760
<v Speaker 1>But but the penalties were why he got sat down

0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:39.880
<v Speaker 1>and that will have to be cleaned up if he's

0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:42.360
<v Speaker 1>back in the lineup. In the nine games that Connor

0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:45.320
<v Speaker 1>Williams started, he gave up a total of ten pressures.

0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:47.760
<v Speaker 1>We just mentioned seven over the last two. For Connor

0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:51.400
<v Speaker 1>McGovern he's given up twelve over the four games he's started.

0:12:51.480 --> 0:12:55.439
<v Speaker 1>So it's a significant number of pressures more so on

0:12:56.320 --> 0:13:00.720
<v Speaker 1>a bigger basis with McGovern however, penalties. McGovern vern has

0:13:00.760 --> 0:13:04.120
<v Speaker 1>only allowed two penalties, been called for two penalties and

0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:06.959
<v Speaker 1>Connor Williams at thirteen all year long. Now he was

0:13:07.000 --> 0:13:09.280
<v Speaker 1>on the historic pace. Yeah, well as far as his

0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:11.760
<v Speaker 1>penalties were concerned. But you know, you see if you

0:13:11.800 --> 0:13:14.200
<v Speaker 1>go back just to the Kansas City game, the amount

0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:16.720
<v Speaker 1>of pressure that Dak is getting right up in his face.

0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:19.720
<v Speaker 1>This gave me. He was sacked four times, pressure ten.

0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:23.000
<v Speaker 1>It's a lot going on. It's a and we talk

0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:25.720
<v Speaker 1>about what's what's wrong with Dak. You know what's what's

0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:28.240
<v Speaker 1>happening with Dak? Dad can't find any rhythm. It really

0:13:28.240 --> 0:13:30.760
<v Speaker 1>hard to find that rhythm a lot of times, man,

0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:33.040
<v Speaker 1>when you got guys following around you in your face,

0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:35.079
<v Speaker 1>grabbing on you, and so you go back to the

0:13:35.440 --> 0:13:37.720
<v Speaker 1>Washington game, he was not in the clean pocket a

0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:39.760
<v Speaker 1>lot of times. You're right. When I watched it back,

0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:41.840
<v Speaker 1>I thought the protection is a little better. I don't

0:13:41.880 --> 0:13:43.800
<v Speaker 1>know about that. I thought there were times where he

0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:46.880
<v Speaker 1>had a clean pocket or clean inch pocket and he misthrows.

0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:51.200
<v Speaker 1>But I don't you know, overall it wasn't clean has

0:13:51.240 --> 0:13:54.720
<v Speaker 1>But usually with Dak Prescott, you're able to navigate through

0:13:54.920 --> 0:13:57.640
<v Speaker 1>the muck. You're able to navigate through a not so

0:13:57.720 --> 0:14:00.160
<v Speaker 1>clean pocket. But how much does that limit him and

0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:02.079
<v Speaker 1>what he's able to do as a quarterback. It's just

0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:04.120
<v Speaker 1>let me ask you this. You've seen quarterbacks coming to

0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:07.800
<v Speaker 1>the league that become punch drunk. They get hit too

0:14:07.840 --> 0:14:10.360
<v Speaker 1>many times, and when they get hit too many times

0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:13.440
<v Speaker 1>something exactly, And so are you when you look at

0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:16.200
<v Speaker 1>Dak are you thinking just from this six game sample

0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:19.120
<v Speaker 1>side we were talking about from the beginning whereas QBR

0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:22.280
<v Speaker 1>was this and now with this period, this period where

0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:24.760
<v Speaker 1>we're seeing that we're seeing him decline, are you thinking

0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:26.480
<v Speaker 1>that the pressure has anything to do with Are you

0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:29.240
<v Speaker 1>fully saying mechanics and he's just off? I think think

0:14:29.280 --> 0:14:31.160
<v Speaker 1>he's off. Okay, Yeah, I just think he's off. I

0:14:31.160 --> 0:14:33.960
<v Speaker 1>don't you start talking about quarterbacks being under pressure. There's

0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:35.480
<v Speaker 1>a whole lot of quarterbacks that don't have a lot

0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:38.560
<v Speaker 1>of great protection upfront. Um, you know, things going to

0:14:38.640 --> 0:14:40.200
<v Speaker 1>even go back to my guy in Seattle. He just

0:14:40.240 --> 0:14:42.360
<v Speaker 1>hasn't had a lot of help on alphas a line either.

0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:43.920
<v Speaker 1>But he still has to stand in there and throw

0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:46.000
<v Speaker 1>the ball or buy time, get outside the pocket, use

0:14:46.040 --> 0:14:48.960
<v Speaker 1>your skill set to create create some time. Um. I

0:14:49.000 --> 0:14:51.240
<v Speaker 1>just think that Dak's just been off, and I mean

0:14:51.280 --> 0:14:54.280
<v Speaker 1>that's just three out. That's it. I mean, I mean,

0:14:54.320 --> 0:14:56.520
<v Speaker 1>that's that's it. That's I mean, it could rather that

0:14:56.640 --> 0:14:58.520
<v Speaker 1>be the answer than the punch drunk side of ye.

0:14:58.680 --> 0:15:01.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean, because I mean, is as much as we

0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:04.760
<v Speaker 1>want Dad to be playing the amazingly well and all that,

0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:07.800
<v Speaker 1>how how how do you think Heinek played? Oh he

0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:10.440
<v Speaker 1>was awful, he was trash? Yeah right. Heinek had three

0:15:10.560 --> 0:15:14.120
<v Speaker 1>less LEBR. His TBR rating was three points less than decks.

0:15:14.520 --> 0:15:16.760
<v Speaker 1>He had a zero passer rating until the second half.

0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:19.520
<v Speaker 1>I think that's that's bad. But I'm saying so as

0:15:19.520 --> 0:15:21.880
<v Speaker 1>bad as we think Heinek played, he literally was right

0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:23.600
<v Speaker 1>there neck and neck with Deck. When we start looking

0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:26.640
<v Speaker 1>at statistics right in that regard. So that's how we

0:15:26.680 --> 0:15:29.880
<v Speaker 1>have to You make me sick. Bro, you are the

0:15:29.920 --> 0:15:33.720
<v Speaker 1>one guy that takes statistics off the table. You know,

0:15:33.800 --> 0:15:37.200
<v Speaker 1>I know you guys, I know you, I know you guys.

0:15:37.240 --> 0:15:40.160
<v Speaker 1>Value you just how you go Rompy in my line,

0:15:40.760 --> 0:15:44.600
<v Speaker 1>I thought that it was look at the stats. I

0:15:44.680 --> 0:15:47.720
<v Speaker 1>was like, it was, I know you guys, related stats.

0:15:48.160 --> 0:15:53.040
<v Speaker 1>The touchdown saved him because because I mean the conversation

0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:56.840
<v Speaker 1>we were having. He got beat the hell in that

0:15:56.880 --> 0:15:59.440
<v Speaker 1>game too. They both did. They both got beat up

0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:01.560
<v Speaker 1>in that game. My thing is is that I think

0:16:01.560 --> 0:16:04.360
<v Speaker 1>what yesterday was, what was hard for me is all

0:16:04.400 --> 0:16:06.720
<v Speaker 1>of the DAK hate. Um, it was hard for me

0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:09.960
<v Speaker 1>to kind of understand where it's coming from. One of

0:16:10.000 --> 0:16:11.880
<v Speaker 1>the things that I would never confuse. I would never

0:16:11.920 --> 0:16:18.400
<v Speaker 1>confuse DAK with Aaron Rodgers. You know, different conversation, different quarterback.

0:16:18.600 --> 0:16:21.720
<v Speaker 1>I just think everything about Aaron Rodgers is that, But

0:16:21.840 --> 0:16:24.000
<v Speaker 1>I think there are some other When you talk about

0:16:24.040 --> 0:16:27.120
<v Speaker 1>Russell Wilson, that's the guy that I take. It's comparable

0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:31.240
<v Speaker 1>and where I see him going as far as you know,

0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:33.320
<v Speaker 1>the team that he played with, the kind of pressure

0:16:33.360 --> 0:16:36.960
<v Speaker 1>that he was under and now having the defense that

0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:39.600
<v Speaker 1>we think that he has right now backing him up

0:16:39.640 --> 0:16:42.600
<v Speaker 1>and so dan quating this situation and just and not

0:16:42.640 --> 0:16:46.400
<v Speaker 1>having an overglorified bus driver. But I think that Dak,

0:16:46.680 --> 0:16:49.480
<v Speaker 1>in all of our experience of seeing him ball out

0:16:49.600 --> 0:16:51.920
<v Speaker 1>and do these great things, it's really hard for me

0:16:51.960 --> 0:16:55.760
<v Speaker 1>to receive that now all of a sudden, he we

0:16:56.200 --> 0:17:01.640
<v Speaker 1>have don't. And again, Dak is a really good player.

0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:08.640
<v Speaker 1>Really good players going droughts, you know, I mean you hope, yeah, slump, droughts,

0:17:08.640 --> 0:17:10.280
<v Speaker 1>whatever you want to call it. I mean, the reality

0:17:10.359 --> 0:17:12.200
<v Speaker 1>is he's not playing good. It doesn't it doesn't take

0:17:12.200 --> 0:17:14.400
<v Speaker 1>anything away. I'm not hating on Dad. I don't. I'm

0:17:14.400 --> 0:17:16.879
<v Speaker 1>sure there are there plenty of cowboys hates a lot

0:17:16.880 --> 0:17:18.520
<v Speaker 1>of people hate men. You can't prevent that. But the

0:17:18.560 --> 0:17:20.879
<v Speaker 1>reality is, over the last four to six game stretch,

0:17:20.920 --> 0:17:23.560
<v Speaker 1>he hasn't played well, and we don't know the exact reason.

0:17:23.640 --> 0:17:25.680
<v Speaker 1>We just see the result of whatever it is that's

0:17:25.680 --> 0:17:28.040
<v Speaker 1>causing him to not play well. We see him not

0:17:28.080 --> 0:17:30.840
<v Speaker 1>stepping up into those those pockets that that are present

0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:33.000
<v Speaker 1>right and delivering the ball like he has in the past.

0:17:33.200 --> 0:17:35.840
<v Speaker 1>We see him not throwing the ball as efficiently, as

0:17:35.880 --> 0:17:38.600
<v Speaker 1>effectively as he has in the past. Everything that you

0:17:38.640 --> 0:17:40.320
<v Speaker 1>can compare is always going to be it is always

0:17:40.320 --> 0:17:42.720
<v Speaker 1>gonna be a relation to what we've seen him do previously.

0:17:42.960 --> 0:17:47.440
<v Speaker 1>And this is not Dak ball right now. And luckily, luckily,

0:17:47.640 --> 0:17:50.440
<v Speaker 1>the defense is playing lights out right now, which is

0:17:50.480 --> 0:17:54.040
<v Speaker 1>giving them an opportunity to be successful holistically as a team.

0:17:54.760 --> 0:17:57.399
<v Speaker 1>And what you know what makes this sorry, heck go ahead, no, no, no,

0:17:57.440 --> 0:18:00.320
<v Speaker 1>Well it makes this so confusing to me, is you

0:18:00.320 --> 0:18:02.000
<v Speaker 1>know they talk about, well, maybe he needs more time

0:18:02.000 --> 0:18:04.160
<v Speaker 1>on task with his receivers and that kind of thing.

0:18:04.560 --> 0:18:07.320
<v Speaker 1>He missed all training camp, like the last week, and

0:18:07.359 --> 0:18:09.920
<v Speaker 1>then he bawled out and they hung twenty nine on

0:18:10.240 --> 0:18:13.560
<v Speaker 1>the Bucks. So I don't think it's that, and I

0:18:13.600 --> 0:18:16.040
<v Speaker 1>don't I don't think you can say he's hurt. I

0:18:16.080 --> 0:18:18.440
<v Speaker 1>don't think you can say that. I haven't heard that.

0:18:18.720 --> 0:18:20.960
<v Speaker 1>He's not on the injury report. The league watches out

0:18:21.000 --> 0:18:23.480
<v Speaker 1>for that stuff. Anyway, there's that means there is nothing

0:18:23.520 --> 0:18:27.320
<v Speaker 1>that's keeping him limited to do anything in practice now.

0:18:28.320 --> 0:18:32.119
<v Speaker 1>Is he mindful of, Hey, this is a long season,

0:18:32.240 --> 0:18:35.440
<v Speaker 1>maybe I shouldn't take this chance run coming off that

0:18:35.560 --> 0:18:37.800
<v Speaker 1>horrific injury last year and coming off the fact that

0:18:37.840 --> 0:18:39.720
<v Speaker 1>he's I don't know. Now he's about six weeks removed

0:18:39.720 --> 0:18:42.800
<v Speaker 1>from that Calf's train. Maybe, you know, maybe he's mindful

0:18:42.840 --> 0:18:45.600
<v Speaker 1>of that. That doesn't mean he's scared. He's trying to

0:18:45.600 --> 0:18:47.960
<v Speaker 1>get through this season and that maybe that's not why

0:18:47.960 --> 0:18:49.760
<v Speaker 1>he's running as much. I think that might be a

0:18:49.760 --> 0:18:52.520
<v Speaker 1>factor too. All of us just kind of speculation because

0:18:52.520 --> 0:18:55.119
<v Speaker 1>we don't don't we don't know exactly what. He just

0:18:55.160 --> 0:18:56.760
<v Speaker 1>doesn't like. You're right, he looks out of sync. It

0:18:56.800 --> 0:18:59.080
<v Speaker 1>doesn't look like he's got as much confidence back there.

0:18:59.160 --> 0:19:02.760
<v Speaker 1>And I just don't when people try to take the

0:19:02.840 --> 0:19:06.920
<v Speaker 1>responsibility off of players, whether it's Dak or anybody else. Right,

0:19:06.960 --> 0:19:09.840
<v Speaker 1>this is the highest level of competition in this sport,

0:19:10.480 --> 0:19:14.040
<v Speaker 1>the highest These are the best players in the world, right,

0:19:14.080 --> 0:19:16.240
<v Speaker 1>And yes, you're entitled to a bad game. You're you're

0:19:16.359 --> 0:19:18.720
<v Speaker 1>entitled to not being on top of your game. You

0:19:18.720 --> 0:19:20.440
<v Speaker 1>want to get out of that as fast as possible,

0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:22.840
<v Speaker 1>But you have to be able to identify the fact that,

0:19:22.920 --> 0:19:25.720
<v Speaker 1>Hank call a spade to spade, you're not doing well,

0:19:26.760 --> 0:19:28.960
<v Speaker 1>let's figure out how to fix it. And I feel

0:19:29.000 --> 0:19:31.040
<v Speaker 1>like with Dak and even some of the other players

0:19:31.080 --> 0:19:34.920
<v Speaker 1>in the league of that of that status. People like

0:19:35.040 --> 0:19:38.520
<v Speaker 1>to find excuses, People like to put their fears, say no, no, no, no,

0:19:38.680 --> 0:19:40.960
<v Speaker 1>it's not that it's this or you know all you know,

0:19:41.000 --> 0:19:42.639
<v Speaker 1>he hasn't had this protection, or he hasn't had the

0:19:42.680 --> 0:19:44.719
<v Speaker 1>receivers or you know. Even mister Jones last week called

0:19:44.800 --> 0:19:46.399
<v Speaker 1>him out and say, oh we always the receivers not

0:19:46.480 --> 0:19:49.920
<v Speaker 1>running arount. No, that is Dak's dad, and it's okay

0:19:49.960 --> 0:19:51.840
<v Speaker 1>to say, hey, dad, you need to figure it out

0:19:52.200 --> 0:19:53.880
<v Speaker 1>just like we just like people get on Zeke. People

0:19:53.920 --> 0:19:56.080
<v Speaker 1>got on Zeke last year with the fumbles. People are

0:19:56.080 --> 0:19:57.800
<v Speaker 1>a quicker point than I. He know he's fumbling it all.

0:19:57.920 --> 0:20:00.200
<v Speaker 1>Zeke's not Zeke no more like, why is it is

0:20:00.240 --> 0:20:01.679
<v Speaker 1>it that you can point out Zeke that he's not

0:20:01.760 --> 0:20:03.560
<v Speaker 1>on his game, But when it comes to Dak, we

0:20:03.680 --> 0:20:06.560
<v Speaker 1>make excuses now, and I don't want to, and I

0:20:06.560 --> 0:20:09.160
<v Speaker 1>don't think that I'm making excuse for Dak. I just

0:20:09.200 --> 0:20:11.399
<v Speaker 1>think that for the sample size that we've had for

0:20:11.440 --> 0:20:15.200
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty one season, we've seen this run that he's

0:20:15.240 --> 0:20:18.440
<v Speaker 1>been on and the offense firing on our cylinders. We

0:20:18.560 --> 0:20:21.000
<v Speaker 1>see exactly how this thing works. When he has his

0:20:21.119 --> 0:20:25.479
<v Speaker 1>full compliment. Now we're noticing this musical chairs of sorts

0:20:25.600 --> 0:20:28.560
<v Speaker 1>at the offensive line position, and I think that has

0:20:28.600 --> 0:20:30.520
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more to do with it than we're

0:20:30.560 --> 0:20:33.360
<v Speaker 1>giving credit to. That's all I'm saying. And I asked,

0:20:33.440 --> 0:20:36.119
<v Speaker 1>and I say, punch drunk. And maybe that's not the

0:20:36.160 --> 0:20:38.520
<v Speaker 1>wrong word. When you get in touch too much, when

0:20:38.520 --> 0:20:41.240
<v Speaker 1>your timing isn't there, when you recognize it, I got

0:20:41.320 --> 0:20:43.000
<v Speaker 1>to get this ball out a little bit quicker than

0:20:43.000 --> 0:20:45.400
<v Speaker 1>I would have before because I don't have the time

0:20:45.520 --> 0:20:48.080
<v Speaker 1>or you don't trust the timing end game. But when

0:20:48.080 --> 0:20:50.240
<v Speaker 1>you but so I hear that, and I think there's

0:20:50.240 --> 0:20:52.520
<v Speaker 1>there is some truth to that. When you put him

0:20:52.560 --> 0:20:54.719
<v Speaker 1>in the conversation with the other quarterbacks that we consider

0:20:54.760 --> 0:20:56.560
<v Speaker 1>to be great in this league, do we utilize that

0:20:56.600 --> 0:20:58.680
<v Speaker 1>as an excuse or do those guys find a way?

0:20:59.000 --> 0:21:01.479
<v Speaker 1>If Tom Brady is getting beat the hill, then we

0:21:01.520 --> 0:21:05.280
<v Speaker 1>can't expect for him to put Aaron Rodgers. I mean,

0:21:05.320 --> 0:21:08.280
<v Speaker 1>what about Patrick Mahomes and the super Patrick Mahomes. I mean, yeah,

0:21:08.280 --> 0:21:11.920
<v Speaker 1>that was one game, that's fair, That's what That's what

0:21:11.960 --> 0:21:14.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying. Like one carried over into the middle of

0:21:14.880 --> 0:21:16.439
<v Speaker 1>the season this year. Those guys had a five new

0:21:16.480 --> 0:21:21.639
<v Speaker 1>office lineman no, no no, no home five new offensive linement.

0:21:21.680 --> 0:21:24.360
<v Speaker 1>We're talking about we're talking about we're talking about we're

0:21:24.359 --> 0:21:28.159
<v Speaker 1>talking about five guys. We're talking about the most, the

0:21:28.200 --> 0:21:30.919
<v Speaker 1>most the position on this field, the group on this

0:21:30.920 --> 0:21:33.520
<v Speaker 1>field that needs to be the most InSync. Five guys

0:21:33.800 --> 0:21:36.119
<v Speaker 1>versus we're talking about one guy. How is that different

0:21:36.160 --> 0:21:38.800
<v Speaker 1>from what the Cowboys are doing one versus five? Yeah,

0:21:38.880 --> 0:21:41.919
<v Speaker 1>it's a huge difference. One we've had we've had one

0:21:41.920 --> 0:21:44.080
<v Speaker 1>guy out that We've had a tackle left guard one

0:21:44.119 --> 0:21:47.080
<v Speaker 1>at a time, though right one left guard, one tackle guard.

0:21:47.119 --> 0:21:49.240
<v Speaker 1>It's never been we've never had more than two officive

0:21:49.240 --> 0:21:54.480
<v Speaker 1>lineman missing at one time. Yeah, it's been music that

0:21:54.520 --> 0:21:56.280
<v Speaker 1>we want to make decamparison. That's when we're talking about

0:21:56.320 --> 0:21:58.160
<v Speaker 1>five dudes now, And I feel you and I guess

0:21:58.200 --> 0:22:00.760
<v Speaker 1>where I'm going with this. You had a whole training

0:22:00.800 --> 0:22:04.440
<v Speaker 1>camp with those guys when we were talking about we're

0:22:04.440 --> 0:22:08.840
<v Speaker 1>talking about Mahomes Mahomes. Your thing was, Man, he's Patrick Mahomes.

0:22:09.520 --> 0:22:12.120
<v Speaker 1>He gonna get back on track. Not not making two

0:22:12.240 --> 0:22:15.040
<v Speaker 1>of this comparing dak to Patrick Mahomes, but you had

0:22:15.160 --> 0:22:18.160
<v Speaker 1>faith in Patrick Mahomes based off of what you're seeing

0:22:18.240 --> 0:22:20.720
<v Speaker 1>him do in the past. That he could get back

0:22:20.760 --> 0:22:23.720
<v Speaker 1>on track. Do do you feel the same way about that.

0:22:24.760 --> 0:22:27.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't have the evidence to show. I do believe

0:22:27.440 --> 0:22:29.520
<v Speaker 1>that Dak's gonna get back on track, But I don't

0:22:29.600 --> 0:22:35.280
<v Speaker 1>have this this long standing resume of Dak going into

0:22:35.280 --> 0:22:38.080
<v Speaker 1>a slump and coming out of a slump. I don't have. Really,

0:22:38.160 --> 0:22:39.639
<v Speaker 1>it's the first time we've seen that. So yeah, I

0:22:39.680 --> 0:22:41.359
<v Speaker 1>have a question mark around and and I, but I

0:22:41.400 --> 0:22:43.640
<v Speaker 1>still believe that Dak is just in a slump. All

0:22:43.720 --> 0:22:46.480
<v Speaker 1>quarterbacks get there, all quarterbacks have him. It's just like golfers.

0:22:46.600 --> 0:22:48.840
<v Speaker 1>You're going to slump baseball players, right, I love baseball,

0:22:48.920 --> 0:22:50.280
<v Speaker 1>You're going to a slump. As a hitter, It's like,

0:22:50.320 --> 0:22:52.639
<v Speaker 1>oh man, he's he's tripping right now for this for

0:22:52.640 --> 0:22:54.479
<v Speaker 1>this three weeks. But when he see gets that one

0:22:54.560 --> 0:22:56.840
<v Speaker 1>hit bohm, he's out of it. There's nothing, you know,

0:22:56.880 --> 0:22:59.919
<v Speaker 1>to Rob's point, there's nothing that's pointing to evidence, evidence

0:23:00.000 --> 0:23:03.479
<v Speaker 1>wise it saying Dak's injured or Dak is unable to

0:23:03.480 --> 0:23:07.120
<v Speaker 1>do something. He's just not playing well. When you were

0:23:07.160 --> 0:23:09.400
<v Speaker 1>you ever in that position at Washington, and if you were,

0:23:10.400 --> 0:23:13.080
<v Speaker 1>what what was your approach to getting out of a slump?

0:23:13.160 --> 0:23:15.280
<v Speaker 1>If that's what we wanted to studying my butt off,

0:23:15.640 --> 0:23:17.639
<v Speaker 1>studying my butt off to be able to identify it.

0:23:17.720 --> 0:23:20.240
<v Speaker 1>I met with a quarterback last night, figure out what

0:23:20.320 --> 0:23:22.600
<v Speaker 1>you're doing wrong? What are you doing wrong? Is it

0:23:22.680 --> 0:23:25.040
<v Speaker 1>my drop? Am I getting lazy with my feet? Right?

0:23:25.040 --> 0:23:26.400
<v Speaker 1>It was? What's my what's my What are my feet

0:23:26.400 --> 0:23:28.720
<v Speaker 1>look like when I'm when I'm delivering the ball? Isn't

0:23:28.720 --> 0:23:31.480
<v Speaker 1>my elbow? Is my release point? Right? Am I shifting

0:23:31.520 --> 0:23:33.919
<v Speaker 1>my weight like there's so many intricate portion instead of

0:23:33.920 --> 0:23:36.720
<v Speaker 1>being a quarterback and delivering the ball with accuracy, Even

0:23:36.760 --> 0:23:38.920
<v Speaker 1>when you have a completion, you should still be you

0:23:38.960 --> 0:23:41.560
<v Speaker 1>should still be picking apart your your film. Am I

0:23:41.560 --> 0:23:43.439
<v Speaker 1>putting it on the right shoulder? Am I putting it low?

0:23:43.480 --> 0:23:46.760
<v Speaker 1>Watching that um had a great ball last night, Matthew

0:23:46.760 --> 0:23:49.840
<v Speaker 1>Stafford through a great ball to Cooper Cup lowing away? Right?

0:23:49.960 --> 0:23:51.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean that was perfect. That's that's how you go

0:23:51.760 --> 0:23:53.359
<v Speaker 1>back and watch. That's the ball that you got to

0:23:53.400 --> 0:23:55.159
<v Speaker 1>have down there in the red down there on the

0:23:55.240 --> 0:23:56.720
<v Speaker 1>goal line. You have to put it right there if

0:23:56.760 --> 0:23:59.120
<v Speaker 1>you would put it anywhere else. As incompletion, So that's

0:23:59.200 --> 0:24:01.000
<v Speaker 1>even on your complete you need to be going back

0:24:01.000 --> 0:24:02.680
<v Speaker 1>and figuring out how can I be better? And I'm

0:24:02.720 --> 0:24:04.320
<v Speaker 1>not saying that Dak's not. We don't know what the

0:24:04.320 --> 0:24:06.119
<v Speaker 1>heck they're doing on the other side of the building,

0:24:06.280 --> 0:24:08.800
<v Speaker 1>but I do know that as a competitor, he is

0:24:08.840 --> 0:24:11.160
<v Speaker 1>probably picking apart his film right now trying to figure

0:24:11.200 --> 0:24:14.320
<v Speaker 1>out where is the missing link because he knows he's

0:24:14.359 --> 0:24:16.040
<v Speaker 1>not where he wants to be and where this team

0:24:16.080 --> 0:24:17.880
<v Speaker 1>needs him to be. I don't doubt that either, because yeah,

0:24:18.040 --> 0:24:20.320
<v Speaker 1>nobody works harder than that. I don't doubt it. And

0:24:20.320 --> 0:24:22.280
<v Speaker 1>that's one of the reasons why I think Cowboys Nation,

0:24:22.600 --> 0:24:25.040
<v Speaker 1>much like how Heckmo was alluding to earlier, you can't

0:24:25.080 --> 0:24:27.080
<v Speaker 1>give up on Dak right now. You know he's going

0:24:27.119 --> 0:24:30.040
<v Speaker 1>to get back to some point playing the football, playing

0:24:30.080 --> 0:24:32.960
<v Speaker 1>that Dak ball that Isaiah was talking about earlier as well.

0:24:33.000 --> 0:24:35.360
<v Speaker 1>All right, taking our first break when we come back

0:24:35.440 --> 0:24:39.120
<v Speaker 1>eight eight, five, five, two, two, nine to seven, give

0:24:39.200 --> 0:24:42.560
<v Speaker 1>talking Cowboys a call. Let's hear from Cowboys Nation right

0:24:42.600 --> 0:24:47.320
<v Speaker 1>after the break. There's nothing as unique as our eyes,

0:27:55.680 --> 0:27:58.040
<v Speaker 1>Bob from Nashville is the first one up, Bob. How's

0:27:58.040 --> 0:28:02.640
<v Speaker 1>it going you're on talking cowboys? Good morning, gentlemen. Hey,

0:28:03.280 --> 0:28:07.280
<v Speaker 1>So you know love Dak. You know, as Isaiah said,

0:28:07.280 --> 0:28:09.960
<v Speaker 1>you go through these little times where you're up and down.

0:28:10.000 --> 0:28:12.679
<v Speaker 1>But a couple of things. My observation after watching some

0:28:12.760 --> 0:28:15.360
<v Speaker 1>of the rewatching a bunch of the games, I think

0:28:15.400 --> 0:28:19.320
<v Speaker 1>some teams are pre snapper in one coverage and then

0:28:19.920 --> 0:28:22.320
<v Speaker 1>just as the ball snap, they're changing coverages, which I

0:28:22.359 --> 0:28:26.320
<v Speaker 1>think is maybe confusing Dak. They're also playing two safeties back,

0:28:26.720 --> 0:28:30.439
<v Speaker 1>which taking away any aggressive throws, which requires Dak to

0:28:30.520 --> 0:28:33.720
<v Speaker 1>maybe throw the ball short. And I think the other

0:28:33.720 --> 0:28:35.960
<v Speaker 1>thing is Kellen Morneys. They maybe call some plays where

0:28:35.960 --> 0:28:39.120
<v Speaker 1>we get some receivers doing some crossing routes, get him

0:28:39.160 --> 0:28:42.840
<v Speaker 1>to our playmakers and let them make some plays that

0:28:42.920 --> 0:28:45.120
<v Speaker 1>will take some of the pressure off a Dack and

0:28:45.160 --> 0:28:47.560
<v Speaker 1>allow him to maybe get back into a rhythm. I

0:28:47.640 --> 0:28:49.600
<v Speaker 1>just wanted to see what your guys thoughts were on

0:28:49.640 --> 0:28:53.240
<v Speaker 1>those two things. Thanks, I have a great day. Thanks, Bob,

0:28:53.280 --> 0:28:56.320
<v Speaker 1>appreciate the call. Yeah, great points, Bob, and I'm kind

0:28:56.320 --> 0:28:57.800
<v Speaker 1>of go down the line in terms of what I want.

0:28:57.840 --> 0:28:59.760
<v Speaker 1>I heard you say. In terms of the two high

0:28:59.720 --> 0:29:02.120
<v Speaker 1>state these his ability to throw the ball quickly as

0:29:02.160 --> 0:29:04.080
<v Speaker 1>of two weeks ago, Dak, I don't know where he

0:29:04.120 --> 0:29:06.400
<v Speaker 1>stands today. Dac was in the think top three in

0:29:06.440 --> 0:29:09.160
<v Speaker 1>the league in terms of completion procedage and short short

0:29:09.640 --> 0:29:12.480
<v Speaker 1>short yardist. You know he passes, so that shouldn't be

0:29:12.520 --> 0:29:15.840
<v Speaker 1>an issue. UM. In terms of what was the other part,

0:29:15.920 --> 0:29:17.160
<v Speaker 1>in terms of being able to get the ball in

0:29:17.480 --> 0:29:19.480
<v Speaker 1>the hands of his playmakers, I do agree that the

0:29:19.600 --> 0:29:21.680
<v Speaker 1>killer Morty's to find a way to run more screens.

0:29:21.840 --> 0:29:23.920
<v Speaker 1>I think he needs to go dive into the playbook

0:29:23.960 --> 0:29:27.800
<v Speaker 1>of the enemy and figure out exactly how he's getting

0:29:27.840 --> 0:29:30.160
<v Speaker 1>his guys the ball in their hands within five yards.

0:29:30.440 --> 0:29:33.000
<v Speaker 1>They do a great job of running a screen so

0:29:33.080 --> 0:29:35.640
<v Speaker 1>many different ways, UM, getting CD the ball, get cooped

0:29:35.640 --> 0:29:37.240
<v Speaker 1>the ball, to get these guys the ball in their hands,

0:29:37.240 --> 0:29:39.520
<v Speaker 1>and that will allow him to build his confidence. UM,

0:29:39.640 --> 0:29:41.760
<v Speaker 1>but you know, you know, to your point, you know, yeah,

0:29:41.800 --> 0:29:43.239
<v Speaker 1>he's in, he's in, He's in a slump. But they

0:29:43.680 --> 0:29:45.360
<v Speaker 1>it's up until a lot of people. He has to

0:29:45.400 --> 0:29:48.040
<v Speaker 1>do a deep dive. Killer Moore has to figure out too, right,

0:29:48.080 --> 0:29:49.920
<v Speaker 1>and they have to be on one accord in terms of, Hey,

0:29:49.960 --> 0:29:51.360
<v Speaker 1>this is where you're at right now, and this is

0:29:51.360 --> 0:29:53.240
<v Speaker 1>how we're gonna help try to get you out this whole.

0:29:54.080 --> 0:29:57.440
<v Speaker 1>What do defenses do to slow down screens? What's the

0:29:57.480 --> 0:29:59.880
<v Speaker 1>best way to slow down a screen from a defensive

0:30:00.160 --> 0:30:02.800
<v Speaker 1>tack it? You gotta attack. It's being aggressive, right, You're

0:30:02.840 --> 0:30:05.280
<v Speaker 1>putting pressure up front, you making him get the ball

0:30:05.320 --> 0:30:07.640
<v Speaker 1>out of his hands. That's exactly what these teams that

0:30:07.400 --> 0:30:10.360
<v Speaker 1>have that Dak Prescott hasn't played well against the dune, right, Yeah,

0:30:10.480 --> 0:30:12.720
<v Speaker 1>And I think he makes a valid point talking about

0:30:12.720 --> 0:30:14.280
<v Speaker 1>the cover too. And that's the thing that a lot

0:30:14.320 --> 0:30:17.200
<v Speaker 1>of teams would not do versus Dubts because they fear

0:30:17.320 --> 0:30:19.560
<v Speaker 1>the running game so much, right, And so now the

0:30:19.600 --> 0:30:21.400
<v Speaker 1>teams are kind of like, oh, we don't have to

0:30:21.400 --> 0:30:24.160
<v Speaker 1>worry about Zeke, you know, and they're daring Dak to

0:30:24.280 --> 0:30:26.720
<v Speaker 1>kind of beat them over the top. That's what Jack

0:30:26.800 --> 0:30:29.200
<v Speaker 1>del Riel did in this game. Something I'm not what

0:30:29.200 --> 0:30:32.040
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna what you're not gonna do is beat us deep.

0:30:32.240 --> 0:30:34.000
<v Speaker 1>What we're gonna force you to do is try and

0:30:34.080 --> 0:30:36.320
<v Speaker 1>find out everything in the middle of the field. Couldn't

0:30:36.320 --> 0:30:38.800
<v Speaker 1>get that done, you know. And so Dalton shows, I think,

0:30:39.240 --> 0:30:41.479
<v Speaker 1>is really somebody that we got to put it. You know,

0:30:41.520 --> 0:30:43.959
<v Speaker 1>where is Dalton because they haven't seen him. Are you

0:30:44.000 --> 0:30:46.440
<v Speaker 1>saying that they're going too high safety because they're because

0:30:46.480 --> 0:30:49.160
<v Speaker 1>on excuse me, they're going too high safety, not only

0:30:49.160 --> 0:30:51.600
<v Speaker 1>because they don't respect our running game, but also you're

0:30:51.600 --> 0:30:53.720
<v Speaker 1>saying that they're daring Zeke to be more accurate with

0:30:53.760 --> 0:30:55.360
<v Speaker 1>the ball. They don't think that he's as accurate as

0:30:55.400 --> 0:30:59.240
<v Speaker 1>he once was. The yack. Yeah, I mean I think

0:30:59.360 --> 0:31:01.360
<v Speaker 1>they're not. They're saying that we're not going to let

0:31:01.440 --> 0:31:04.440
<v Speaker 1>you get those big plays. We're gonna take the big

0:31:04.480 --> 0:31:06.640
<v Speaker 1>play away. But by saying that, right, you're saying I'm

0:31:06.640 --> 0:31:08.200
<v Speaker 1>taking away a big play and I'm taking away your

0:31:08.240 --> 0:31:10.480
<v Speaker 1>And you said I'm not respecting your run. I'm saying

0:31:10.520 --> 0:31:12.240
<v Speaker 1>that I don't trust that you can pick me apart.

0:31:12.440 --> 0:31:14.520
<v Speaker 1>That's what I mean, That's what you're saying. Yeah, I know,

0:31:14.760 --> 0:31:17.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm not interpreting that that way. If that is that's

0:31:17.240 --> 0:31:21.640
<v Speaker 1>just that's what. No, No, that's disrespectful. And if if

0:31:21.640 --> 0:31:23.800
<v Speaker 1>that's the case, then Dak has to find And maybe

0:31:23.800 --> 0:31:26.960
<v Speaker 1>that's why he's pressing because he's like, I can't believe

0:31:27.560 --> 0:31:30.640
<v Speaker 1>you you have the audacity to have two says never

0:31:30.680 --> 0:31:33.920
<v Speaker 1>experienced it and leaving the middle of the field wide open,

0:31:33.960 --> 0:31:36.840
<v Speaker 1>and that's where he got caught in the pick six.

0:31:37.160 --> 0:31:38.680
<v Speaker 1>This is the first time in his career and you

0:31:38.720 --> 0:31:40.520
<v Speaker 1>can probably back this up rub that he hasn't had

0:31:40.560 --> 0:31:46.120
<v Speaker 1>an efficient running game. Um, there's yeah, I mean probably

0:31:46.120 --> 0:31:48.960
<v Speaker 1>to this extent. You know, I think when they've think

0:31:49.000 --> 0:31:50.760
<v Speaker 1>last year when Zeke was banged up and they didn't

0:31:50.760 --> 0:31:52.720
<v Speaker 1>have Zach Martin for a stretch, it was it was

0:31:52.760 --> 0:31:55.640
<v Speaker 1>tough in there. But the decline they've had there is

0:31:55.880 --> 0:31:59.360
<v Speaker 1>is wow. And you guys are right, like the shell

0:31:59.440 --> 0:32:01.200
<v Speaker 1>covers that they played is a little bit different than

0:32:01.320 --> 0:32:03.920
<v Speaker 1>I think what we've seen recently because when they were

0:32:04.040 --> 0:32:06.040
<v Speaker 1>teams were doing that early in the season, they were

0:32:06.120 --> 0:32:08.360
<v Speaker 1>running them over in the run game. And I was

0:32:08.400 --> 0:32:10.160
<v Speaker 1>telling you guys in the break, I know it's it's

0:32:10.240 --> 0:32:13.160
<v Speaker 1>kind of a staff, it's flimsy, but there was a

0:32:13.160 --> 0:32:15.479
<v Speaker 1>four game stretch starting with the Chargers game, where they

0:32:15.520 --> 0:32:18.120
<v Speaker 1>were dominant in the run game one hundred and sixty

0:32:18.160 --> 0:32:21.640
<v Speaker 1>plus yards per game. Dak's passer rating in that stretch

0:32:21.760 --> 0:32:25.440
<v Speaker 1>was like one twenty average, one forty three against Philadelphia,

0:32:25.520 --> 0:32:28.840
<v Speaker 1>one thirty against I actually started with the Charger game. Okay,

0:32:28.920 --> 0:32:31.640
<v Speaker 1>so even going back at it's like eighty nine, eighty eight.

0:32:31.920 --> 0:32:34.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah for passer rating, gets sixteen against the Giants, but

0:32:34.840 --> 0:32:36.640
<v Speaker 1>you get it, yeah, because the New England game, they

0:32:36.680 --> 0:32:38.479
<v Speaker 1>had one hundred and twenty yards, but they didn't run

0:32:38.560 --> 0:32:40.040
<v Speaker 1>it that well. They didn't run it that well. So

0:32:40.120 --> 0:32:42.920
<v Speaker 1>those those four games starting with the Chargers, he was very,

0:32:43.040 --> 0:32:46.480
<v Speaker 1>very efficient. The other games this season nine games, it's

0:32:46.520 --> 0:32:49.880
<v Speaker 1>like a seventy nine passer rating. He needs that balance.

0:32:49.920 --> 0:32:52.240
<v Speaker 1>I think every quarterback does. And again it Yeah, it

0:32:52.320 --> 0:32:54.840
<v Speaker 1>might sound like excuses, but I think that's what Jerry's

0:32:54.840 --> 0:32:56.239
<v Speaker 1>talking about on the fan to day, and Hex kind

0:32:56.240 --> 0:32:58.040
<v Speaker 1>of looting it to it too. It's a I think

0:32:58.080 --> 0:33:01.440
<v Speaker 1>Jerry said, it's a multifaceted reason why it's got to work.

0:33:01.440 --> 0:33:04.080
<v Speaker 1>And I know Dak's making forty million a year, but

0:33:04.200 --> 0:33:05.920
<v Speaker 1>they've got to show up some other things. And on

0:33:06.000 --> 0:33:08.280
<v Speaker 1>offense to help him out as well. Yeah, and he's

0:33:08.280 --> 0:33:10.240
<v Speaker 1>got to play better too, and he's admitted that there.

0:33:10.400 --> 0:33:12.880
<v Speaker 1>It is obvious watching he's not playing as well as

0:33:12.880 --> 0:33:14.760
<v Speaker 1>he kibbles. That's what I love about him, though I do.

0:33:14.800 --> 0:33:17.120
<v Speaker 1>I respect the crap out of him for a standing

0:33:17.200 --> 0:33:20.040
<v Speaker 1>up and not making excuses. Everybody else is making excuses

0:33:20.080 --> 0:33:22.400
<v Speaker 1>for Deck Dack's not making excuses for dead. Yeah, he's

0:33:22.400 --> 0:33:24.680
<v Speaker 1>saying he's got to be better. Ye. Love it. Yeah,

0:33:24.840 --> 0:33:27.240
<v Speaker 1>great call from Bob. And by the way, Chris pointed

0:33:27.280 --> 0:33:28.480
<v Speaker 1>it out in my ears. I don't know if he

0:33:28.520 --> 0:33:31.600
<v Speaker 1>was in y'all's ears either, but Bob sounds strikingly similar

0:33:31.720 --> 0:33:34.840
<v Speaker 1>to Doug nust Meyer. Just go back and listen to

0:33:34.920 --> 0:33:38.480
<v Speaker 1>it if you get a chance, just like the raspy voice.

0:33:38.520 --> 0:33:40.959
<v Speaker 1>I love it, Bob from Nashville. Great job, all right. Now,

0:33:41.000 --> 0:33:43.040
<v Speaker 1>let's see if we can follow it up with a

0:33:43.040 --> 0:33:46.240
<v Speaker 1>little bit of the Land of Enchantment landing from New Mexico.

0:33:46.480 --> 0:33:50.440
<v Speaker 1>You're on Talking Cowboys. Hey, guys, what's it going so good?

0:33:51.400 --> 0:33:54.000
<v Speaker 1>I've been listening to Talking Cowboys in the two thousand

0:33:54.000 --> 0:33:56.800
<v Speaker 1>and six, way back in the day, so I love

0:33:56.880 --> 0:34:00.600
<v Speaker 1>the show. Love all the shows on Dallas Cowboys dot Com. Um,

0:34:01.200 --> 0:34:06.720
<v Speaker 1>real quick though, a couple of points about the Dak situation. Um,

0:34:07.360 --> 0:34:11.400
<v Speaker 1>from what I see, it looks like he's overthinking things.

0:34:11.480 --> 0:34:15.839
<v Speaker 1>And I think it's you know, a while ago, Rob

0:34:15.920 --> 0:34:18.719
<v Speaker 1>said something about, I mean this is all speculation, right,

0:34:18.840 --> 0:34:22.960
<v Speaker 1>and then um and Isaiah said that, uh, that it

0:34:23.000 --> 0:34:27.080
<v Speaker 1>could be confidence. Um. I think I think it's a

0:34:27.120 --> 0:34:30.399
<v Speaker 1>confidence thing because of the offensive line. I think that

0:34:30.400 --> 0:34:34.680
<v Speaker 1>that because we had the musical chairs with the offensive line. Um,

0:34:34.760 --> 0:34:36.880
<v Speaker 1>it's gotten into his head a little bit. And and

0:34:37.000 --> 0:34:39.960
<v Speaker 1>we've heard Dak's stay in his pest conferences. You know,

0:34:40.040 --> 0:34:43.000
<v Speaker 1>he's he's thinking. He thinks about when to run and

0:34:43.000 --> 0:34:45.160
<v Speaker 1>when not to run. It looks like he's doing that

0:34:45.239 --> 0:34:46.839
<v Speaker 1>not just when the run and when not to run,

0:34:46.880 --> 0:34:48.279
<v Speaker 1>but when to throw the ball and when not to

0:34:48.320 --> 0:34:52.000
<v Speaker 1>throw the ball. Um. I mean Aaron Rodgers and those guys,

0:34:52.040 --> 0:34:53.799
<v Speaker 1>they know where to go with the ball before or

0:34:53.840 --> 0:34:58.080
<v Speaker 1>the ball or before the ball is snapped. So then guys,

0:34:58.520 --> 0:35:01.080
<v Speaker 1>that's why they're able to handle. The offensive line isn't

0:35:01.120 --> 0:35:03.600
<v Speaker 1>doing good. But I think since Dak has the confidence

0:35:03.680 --> 0:35:06.680
<v Speaker 1>been going on too, because he had so much shaky

0:35:06.760 --> 0:35:11.319
<v Speaker 1>offensive line play. Now he's he's classed in a little

0:35:11.360 --> 0:35:13.880
<v Speaker 1>bit and he's overthinking things. I mean that that that

0:35:14.000 --> 0:35:16.920
<v Speaker 1>interception that he threw on the Dalton Sultz pass. I

0:35:16.960 --> 0:35:20.400
<v Speaker 1>mean Dalton Schultz is open and he at first and

0:35:20.440 --> 0:35:22.600
<v Speaker 1>then he pump picked instead of throwing the ball. If

0:35:22.600 --> 0:35:24.080
<v Speaker 1>he would have threw the ball then and it would

0:35:24.080 --> 0:35:26.920
<v Speaker 1>have been completed. So that's what That's what I think

0:35:26.960 --> 0:35:28.960
<v Speaker 1>about the Dack situation. And the running game is a

0:35:29.000 --> 0:35:30.880
<v Speaker 1>big doctors. I mean, we need to get this running

0:35:31.040 --> 0:35:33.160
<v Speaker 1>running game fixed, and I don't know how we're going

0:35:33.200 --> 0:35:35.160
<v Speaker 1>to do it because the offensive line is in shambles

0:35:35.200 --> 0:35:37.000
<v Speaker 1>and the running back to her and I don't know

0:35:37.040 --> 0:35:38.640
<v Speaker 1>what we're going to do about the other. Oh, thank

0:35:38.680 --> 0:35:40.759
<v Speaker 1>you very much, Landing for the call, and thank you

0:35:40.800 --> 0:35:43.480
<v Speaker 1>for your support of all the shows here on Dallas

0:35:43.480 --> 0:35:46.040
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys dot com. But what do you think about that?

0:35:46.120 --> 0:35:48.799
<v Speaker 1>Heck moll, Could it be in Dak's head or is

0:35:48.800 --> 0:35:50.600
<v Speaker 1>it just as simple as what he said toward the

0:35:50.680 --> 0:35:53.920
<v Speaker 1>end is it's just this offense is one dimensional at

0:35:53.920 --> 0:35:57.480
<v Speaker 1>the moment. And I look, I partially agree with with

0:35:57.520 --> 0:35:59.840
<v Speaker 1>some of that. I just feel as though some defenses

0:36:00.160 --> 0:36:03.359
<v Speaker 1>made adjustments. They know what you know, if you get

0:36:03.480 --> 0:36:05.359
<v Speaker 1>enough tape on a guy. It's like when the guy

0:36:05.360 --> 0:36:07.640
<v Speaker 1>comes in his first year, you have no idea what

0:36:07.960 --> 0:36:10.560
<v Speaker 1>and who he is as a quarterback. Second year, everybody

0:36:10.600 --> 0:36:12.960
<v Speaker 1>knows that the throws that he's comfortable with. And I

0:36:13.000 --> 0:36:16.240
<v Speaker 1>think defenses have done the same thing to Dak this season.

0:36:16.239 --> 0:36:18.359
<v Speaker 1>They know exactly where Kelly Moore is trying to set

0:36:18.440 --> 0:36:21.400
<v Speaker 1>him up to be successful early in games. And I

0:36:21.440 --> 0:36:25.000
<v Speaker 1>just go back to one drive in that Washington game

0:36:25.040 --> 0:36:27.640
<v Speaker 1>where I believe it started with Dak tripping over the

0:36:27.640 --> 0:36:29.839
<v Speaker 1>feet of the center and trying to hand the ball

0:36:29.840 --> 0:36:33.040
<v Speaker 1>off to Ezekiel Elliott. It was a hole that was massive.

0:36:33.080 --> 0:36:35.399
<v Speaker 1>They missed on that, But then he comes right back

0:36:35.400 --> 0:36:37.920
<v Speaker 1>and he throws and it was an interception. It just

0:36:37.960 --> 0:36:40.799
<v Speaker 1>seems like the rhythm of the offense, if that has

0:36:40.880 --> 0:36:42.920
<v Speaker 1>anything to do with it, just I just felt like

0:36:43.239 --> 0:36:45.040
<v Speaker 1>that was the one time that I watched the offense

0:36:45.040 --> 0:36:47.080
<v Speaker 1>where I was like, these guys are just out of

0:36:47.160 --> 0:36:50.240
<v Speaker 1>rhythm with one another. Yeah, and who knows if it's confidence.

0:36:50.280 --> 0:36:52.239
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he's about its confident guy you'll ever meet.

0:36:52.840 --> 0:36:55.160
<v Speaker 1>He's just not in sync. And that's what's showing on

0:36:55.200 --> 0:36:58.480
<v Speaker 1>the field. They're just not in sync. But to his point,

0:36:59.080 --> 0:37:01.400
<v Speaker 1>and I agree with Hack to his point. That last

0:37:01.400 --> 0:37:04.320
<v Speaker 1>throw he did, he had Scholtz open and he was

0:37:04.320 --> 0:37:07.200
<v Speaker 1>a tick late. So what's what's he's seeing, what's he processing?

0:37:07.200 --> 0:37:09.520
<v Speaker 1>Because I think that's been his biggest jump as a

0:37:09.600 --> 0:37:12.040
<v Speaker 1>quarterback has been his ability to just balls out. He

0:37:12.440 --> 0:37:13.960
<v Speaker 1>knows what he's where. He wants to get to the

0:37:13.960 --> 0:37:16.719
<v Speaker 1>ball with the ball. But if they could run the

0:37:16.719 --> 0:37:19.480
<v Speaker 1>ball better, they wouldn't have had to make that play

0:37:19.840 --> 0:37:22.279
<v Speaker 1>and they would have been able to ice the game.

0:37:22.360 --> 0:37:25.239
<v Speaker 1>That's that's been their calling card and they have not

0:37:25.280 --> 0:37:26.640
<v Speaker 1>been able to get back to it. And he's right,

0:37:27.360 --> 0:37:28.880
<v Speaker 1>we'll see if Tony Potter can get back in the

0:37:28.920 --> 0:37:31.520
<v Speaker 1>lineup this week. Zeke's banged up, he's fighting through it. Yeah,

0:37:31.719 --> 0:37:35.480
<v Speaker 1>offensive line, maybe they make a change somewhere at left guard.

0:37:35.920 --> 0:37:37.640
<v Speaker 1>They got to get something going in the run game.

0:37:38.000 --> 0:37:41.480
<v Speaker 1>Got to the reality is when you're not playing to

0:37:41.600 --> 0:37:44.360
<v Speaker 1>the level that you expect yourself to play, that you

0:37:44.400 --> 0:37:48.000
<v Speaker 1>know that you're cable of playing, and things have gone wrong. Right,

0:37:48.000 --> 0:37:51.000
<v Speaker 1>he's had what five interceptions in the last four games

0:37:51.120 --> 0:37:53.719
<v Speaker 1>or whatever the No. Six sorry or my math? Right?

0:37:53.760 --> 0:37:57.360
<v Speaker 1>Five five in the last four games. You start questioning,

0:37:57.920 --> 0:37:59.640
<v Speaker 1>you question you have a question mark over too over

0:37:59.680 --> 0:38:02.840
<v Speaker 1>your head, and you start second guessing and hesitating on

0:38:02.880 --> 0:38:06.160
<v Speaker 1>decisions that you would have instinctively made. That's the reality

0:38:06.200 --> 0:38:09.080
<v Speaker 1>when you're not confident in your play. Now. I'm not

0:38:09.120 --> 0:38:11.440
<v Speaker 1>saying that you're not confident in terms of your capabilities,

0:38:11.680 --> 0:38:14.680
<v Speaker 1>but capabilities and you're actual what actually shows up on

0:38:14.680 --> 0:38:17.279
<v Speaker 1>the field that day's two separate things. So being that

0:38:17.440 --> 0:38:20.800
<v Speaker 1>Dak has tried, I'm sure he's trying his best fifty

0:38:20.880 --> 0:38:23.520
<v Speaker 1>eight rating seventy nine one or six fifty seven, that's

0:38:23.520 --> 0:38:26.360
<v Speaker 1>the last four, I'm sure he's questioning some things that

0:38:26.400 --> 0:38:28.200
<v Speaker 1>he's doing, like what he's trying to figure it out.

0:38:28.320 --> 0:38:29.920
<v Speaker 1>And when you're trying to figure it out, you're going

0:38:30.000 --> 0:38:32.200
<v Speaker 1>to try to make sure that you were exact. You're

0:38:32.239 --> 0:38:34.160
<v Speaker 1>gonna try to make sure that you were as precise

0:38:34.200 --> 0:38:36.560
<v Speaker 1>as possible to make sure that you're not making those

0:38:36.600 --> 0:38:39.040
<v Speaker 1>mistakes that you have made previously. So I think that's

0:38:39.040 --> 0:38:40.799
<v Speaker 1>probably where he's at right now. I don't think it's

0:38:40.800 --> 0:38:42.520
<v Speaker 1>a lack of confidence. I just think that he's trying

0:38:42.560 --> 0:38:44.920
<v Speaker 1>to be so exact to make sure that he doesn't

0:38:44.920 --> 0:38:47.200
<v Speaker 1>make mistakes that you actually end up making mistakes when

0:38:47.239 --> 0:38:52.920
<v Speaker 1>you do that, stat man. Stat Man, Yeah, that's when

0:38:52.960 --> 0:38:56.040
<v Speaker 1>I grow up. You know what I'm saying. Four touchdowns,

0:38:56.080 --> 0:38:59.879
<v Speaker 1>five interceptions over the last four games. That's not Dak ball.

0:39:00.080 --> 0:39:03.240
<v Speaker 1>That's not that ball. All right, Lance from Wyoming, Lance,

0:39:03.239 --> 0:39:07.200
<v Speaker 1>you're on talking Cowboys. What's up my man? Gentlemen, gentlemen,

0:39:07.280 --> 0:39:11.800
<v Speaker 1>how your dog? How you guys doing great? Look, I

0:39:12.239 --> 0:39:17.080
<v Speaker 1>listen to all the shows that comes on daily. I

0:39:17.160 --> 0:39:20.440
<v Speaker 1>want you guys to stop making excuses for Dak. That's

0:39:20.880 --> 0:39:25.000
<v Speaker 1>that's the problem. I'm sorry. I mean, when he demands

0:39:25.040 --> 0:39:28.080
<v Speaker 1>forty million dollars a year to be the quarterback for

0:39:28.120 --> 0:39:32.440
<v Speaker 1>the Dallas Cowboys, we as fans expect him to perform

0:39:32.440 --> 0:39:35.600
<v Speaker 1>regardless what the problem is. You guys are using the

0:39:35.600 --> 0:39:38.400
<v Speaker 1>excuse that our offensive line is the problem. When he

0:39:38.520 --> 0:39:42.720
<v Speaker 1>was healthy, we had offensive mind problems, but he found

0:39:42.719 --> 0:39:44.839
<v Speaker 1>a way of getting around it and throwing the ball

0:39:45.040 --> 0:39:47.799
<v Speaker 1>very I won't say accric because he's never been an

0:39:47.800 --> 0:39:52.360
<v Speaker 1>a throwing quarterback, But you guys need to stop, including

0:39:52.440 --> 0:39:56.719
<v Speaker 1>Jerry Jones and the staff, y'all need to stop making

0:39:56.840 --> 0:39:59.960
<v Speaker 1>excuses for da. There's something wrong with that. There's something

0:40:00.080 --> 0:40:03.120
<v Speaker 1>mentally wrong with that. It ain't his it ain't the

0:40:03.160 --> 0:40:06.759
<v Speaker 1>physical thing. There's something wrong in his head. You don't

0:40:06.880 --> 0:40:09.360
<v Speaker 1>stand there and see a lineman come up on you.

0:40:09.520 --> 0:40:12.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean a linebacker come up on you. Get in

0:40:12.080 --> 0:40:14.520
<v Speaker 1>line to the throw that you get throw, throw it

0:40:14.560 --> 0:40:18.080
<v Speaker 1>in the way and get it in something. Please, guys,

0:40:18.320 --> 0:40:22.360
<v Speaker 1>stop making excuses for that. That gets forty million dollars.

0:40:22.400 --> 0:40:24.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't give a thing if he got a running

0:40:25.440 --> 0:40:28.719
<v Speaker 1>he needs, he needs to get his mindset and the

0:40:28.920 --> 0:40:33.040
<v Speaker 1>and the coaching staff needs to stop doing what they're doing.

0:40:33.239 --> 0:40:35.239
<v Speaker 1>They need to be the coaches. They need to take

0:40:35.400 --> 0:40:39.600
<v Speaker 1>the Zeke out the game, period because Zeke is killing

0:40:39.719 --> 0:40:43.839
<v Speaker 1>us too. But don't blame the offensive line because it's

0:40:43.840 --> 0:40:47.239
<v Speaker 1>all that reason why we're saying that as a nation, sir,

0:40:47.440 --> 0:40:49.600
<v Speaker 1>the reason why we're saying that as a nation, we're

0:40:49.600 --> 0:40:52.040
<v Speaker 1>playing that man forty million dollars. I don't care if

0:40:52.080 --> 0:40:54.600
<v Speaker 1>he got to run into a wall and do it

0:40:54.640 --> 0:40:58.040
<v Speaker 1>again for forty million dollars. Lance, thank you so much

0:40:58.080 --> 0:41:01.280
<v Speaker 1>for the call. Appreciate you as always and all your support.

0:41:01.320 --> 0:41:04.040
<v Speaker 1>And if there's anything that we stand for on this show,

0:41:04.520 --> 0:41:08.800
<v Speaker 1>it is saying it with your chest and he absolutely

0:41:08.840 --> 0:41:15.120
<v Speaker 1>did it. It was a chestysty call. Are we related? Guys,

0:41:15.120 --> 0:41:17.719
<v Speaker 1>stop making excuses. I like it. I did too. I

0:41:17.719 --> 0:41:19.080
<v Speaker 1>don't know. I mean I I don't agree one hundred

0:41:19.120 --> 0:41:21.200
<v Speaker 1>percent with everything, but I mean I'm probably about it

0:41:21.200 --> 0:41:23.840
<v Speaker 1>any percentI with you right there. I'm not. I'm not

0:41:23.960 --> 0:41:27.480
<v Speaker 1>one two and I've been. My wife calls me unempathetic

0:41:27.520 --> 0:41:30.359
<v Speaker 1>on a lot of things. But one thing I do

0:41:30.440 --> 0:41:32.000
<v Speaker 1>is I look, I do a deep dive by myself.

0:41:32.040 --> 0:41:34.000
<v Speaker 1>If I suck at something, probably I don't have a

0:41:34.000 --> 0:41:35.719
<v Speaker 1>good showing. Right. We've done how many shows have we

0:41:35.800 --> 0:41:38.040
<v Speaker 1>done together, Kyle? We've done film room, Kyle tells me

0:41:38.280 --> 0:41:40.600
<v Speaker 1>film rooms, other sets that we're on. Hey, you know

0:41:40.640 --> 0:41:42.120
<v Speaker 1>you can do this a little better. Thank you, Thanks

0:41:42.120 --> 0:41:44.239
<v Speaker 1>for telling me. Thanks for telling me. Because I need

0:41:44.239 --> 0:41:45.640
<v Speaker 1>to be better. I want to be the best that

0:41:45.680 --> 0:41:46.959
<v Speaker 1>I can be. I'm gonna go back and I'm gonna

0:41:46.960 --> 0:41:48.600
<v Speaker 1>watch it. I'm gonna pick it apart. I'm gonna get

0:41:48.600 --> 0:41:49.880
<v Speaker 1>coaching and I'm gonna figure out how I could come

0:41:49.880 --> 0:41:51.799
<v Speaker 1>back and re address that problem so that we can

0:41:51.880 --> 0:41:54.319
<v Speaker 1>be better. I could be better individually, which helps us

0:41:54.360 --> 0:41:57.279
<v Speaker 1>all be better collectively as as a team. I don't

0:41:57.360 --> 0:42:00.359
<v Speaker 1>not wanting to make excuses. I am not so again.

0:42:00.440 --> 0:42:02.239
<v Speaker 1>I do agree some of the decision. It's not even

0:42:02.280 --> 0:42:04.640
<v Speaker 1>just a delivery, it's some of the decisions, you know,

0:42:04.680 --> 0:42:06.520
<v Speaker 1>some of the decisions. And it's not just Dak. I

0:42:06.520 --> 0:42:08.279
<v Speaker 1>know we're picking on Dak because he's the he's the

0:42:08.320 --> 0:42:10.239
<v Speaker 1>QB one, but there's a lot of pressure that comes

0:42:10.280 --> 0:42:14.120
<v Speaker 1>with that, and there's a big talking about But there

0:42:14.360 --> 0:42:16.720
<v Speaker 1>there are a lot to his point, there are guys

0:42:16.760 --> 0:42:20.879
<v Speaker 1>who just say, there's roster bubble guys if they make

0:42:20.960 --> 0:42:24.279
<v Speaker 1>one mistake, If they make one mistake, you're out of here.

0:42:24.800 --> 0:42:27.120
<v Speaker 1>You're out of here. There is no excuses made for you, right,

0:42:27.120 --> 0:42:29.319
<v Speaker 1>You don't get an excuse because guess what, you don't

0:42:29.360 --> 0:42:31.560
<v Speaker 1>get that leverage. You don't have that, you don't have

0:42:31.600 --> 0:42:35.040
<v Speaker 1>that financial leverage to make a mistake. But as soon

0:42:35.080 --> 0:42:37.760
<v Speaker 1>as guys get big boy paychecks, right, Dak or anybody

0:42:37.760 --> 0:42:40.400
<v Speaker 1>else in this league, there's grace given. There's a lot

0:42:40.440 --> 0:42:42.880
<v Speaker 1>of grace given instead of getting on them the same way,

0:42:42.960 --> 0:42:46.080
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of grace given with I e excuses

0:42:46.239 --> 0:42:48.799
<v Speaker 1>and I'm with you on every in that regard. Anybody,

0:42:48.920 --> 0:42:51.719
<v Speaker 1>Dak Zeke, I don't care who it is on this roster, right,

0:42:51.840 --> 0:42:54.240
<v Speaker 1>everybody should be getting coached to the same level, wouldn't

0:42:54.239 --> 0:42:56.680
<v Speaker 1>have the same expectations, meaning that sometimes you got you

0:42:56.719 --> 0:42:58.600
<v Speaker 1>gotta dig out, you know, you get on somebody's head.

0:42:59.239 --> 0:43:00.400
<v Speaker 1>And I'm not saying that. I don't know if they

0:43:00.400 --> 0:43:03.240
<v Speaker 1>do or not, but I'm just saying I said yesterday

0:43:03.320 --> 0:43:05.560
<v Speaker 1>that there's not as many You can't use the same

0:43:05.560 --> 0:43:07.239
<v Speaker 1>excuse as to use a few weeks ago. They got

0:43:07.280 --> 0:43:09.520
<v Speaker 1>he's got his receivers back. All that, I will say

0:43:09.560 --> 0:43:11.200
<v Speaker 1>with the caller, I agree with a lot of what

0:43:11.239 --> 0:43:13.759
<v Speaker 1>he said. It's a great call. We're not saying the

0:43:13.760 --> 0:43:16.960
<v Speaker 1>offensive line is the problem. It's a problem, yes, it's

0:43:17.239 --> 0:43:19.160
<v Speaker 1>they're not playing as well as they need to play.

0:43:19.360 --> 0:43:21.919
<v Speaker 1>This is a team game, this is the ultimate team game.

0:43:22.080 --> 0:43:23.960
<v Speaker 1>He can't do it all by himself. He's got to

0:43:24.040 --> 0:43:27.320
<v Speaker 1>be better, obviously, but there's other factors that are making

0:43:27.360 --> 0:43:29.440
<v Speaker 1>his job probably more difficult than they need to be,

0:43:29.640 --> 0:43:32.760
<v Speaker 1>and he's not playing well on top of it. Well,

0:43:32.800 --> 0:43:35.279
<v Speaker 1>you know, that's my quarterback, and I'm a defendant, and um,

0:43:35.480 --> 0:43:37.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, I feel like they're we're not making excuses

0:43:37.640 --> 0:43:40.319
<v Speaker 1>for Dak. We've seen Dak ball and so I'm not

0:43:40.360 --> 0:43:43.400
<v Speaker 1>gonna take anybody's word as saying, oh, he's broken and

0:43:43.640 --> 0:43:45.799
<v Speaker 1>we shouldn't have given him that money. I understand that

0:43:45.800 --> 0:43:47.680
<v Speaker 1>that comes with a territory. Once you get to check,

0:43:47.719 --> 0:43:50.799
<v Speaker 1>everybody now has the opportunity to say what you are

0:43:50.800 --> 0:43:53.200
<v Speaker 1>and what you never were. But he's not an average

0:43:53.280 --> 0:43:56.680
<v Speaker 1>quarterback in this league. And for everybody we won Sunday,

0:43:56.680 --> 0:44:00.440
<v Speaker 1>we won. Yeah, we want We're not a fool, you

0:44:00.520 --> 0:44:02.880
<v Speaker 1>understand it. So there are teams out there that have

0:44:03.080 --> 0:44:06.120
<v Speaker 1>marginal quarterbacks with good defenses that hope to ride that

0:44:06.200 --> 0:44:08.680
<v Speaker 1>momentum into the super Bowl. We ain't one of them

0:44:08.680 --> 0:44:11.320
<v Speaker 1>because we got a guy that we have enough evidence

0:44:11.360 --> 0:44:13.399
<v Speaker 1>to show that this man is a gamer and he's

0:44:13.400 --> 0:44:14.960
<v Speaker 1>a baller. And I want to talk more on that

0:44:15.000 --> 0:44:16.759
<v Speaker 1>when we come back after the break, because that's a

0:44:16.760 --> 0:44:19.719
<v Speaker 1>great point, but it might be about the expectations that

0:44:19.760 --> 0:44:22.440
<v Speaker 1>are on the table. Maybe they're too high. When we

0:44:22.520 --> 0:44:25.319

0:46:49.520 --> 0:46:53.719
<v Speaker 1>on a Talking Tuesday show. I've got a quick story there, sir,

0:46:54.040 --> 0:46:57.560
<v Speaker 1>so I love my assay. They are the best glasses

0:46:57.600 --> 0:47:00.719
<v Speaker 1>I've ever had, and I take care of these glasses

0:47:00.840 --> 0:47:03.520
<v Speaker 1>more so than any other paragraph glasses I've ever had

0:47:03.560 --> 0:47:05.480
<v Speaker 1>in my life. The other day, I was getting down

0:47:05.520 --> 0:47:09.239
<v Speaker 1>on my truck and I just accidentally, like just kind

0:47:09.239 --> 0:47:11.319
<v Speaker 1>of turned the right away and they fell off onto

0:47:11.360 --> 0:47:14.760
<v Speaker 1>the concrete and they landed straight on the lenses, straight

0:47:14.800 --> 0:47:16.480
<v Speaker 1>on the on the concrete. And I was like, you

0:47:16.560 --> 0:47:19.960
<v Speaker 1>gotta be kidding. Oh yeah, yeah, it was a little

0:47:19.960 --> 0:47:22.040
<v Speaker 1>bit more than you gotta be kidding. I looked down

0:47:22.239 --> 0:47:23.840
<v Speaker 1>and I pick it up. Just expect. It's almost like

0:47:23.840 --> 0:47:25.600
<v Speaker 1>when you drop your phone, you pick it up and

0:47:26.280 --> 0:47:28.719
<v Speaker 1>you think it's gonna get shattered. I expected to have

0:47:28.760 --> 0:47:32.240
<v Speaker 1>a big scratch right over the front of my glasses. Perfect,

0:47:32.920 --> 0:47:34.960
<v Speaker 1>not even like they have been touched, you know, you know,

0:47:35.040 --> 0:47:41.279
<v Speaker 1>very aggressive because because it's les do more. Well there

0:47:41.280 --> 0:47:44.000
<v Speaker 1>you go. So yeah, that's my quick Essler story. So

0:47:44.040 --> 0:47:46.879
<v Speaker 1>that's not just because they're a great sponsor of ours

0:47:46.880 --> 0:47:48.680
<v Speaker 1>when we love s Lord. That is a real life,

0:47:49.000 --> 0:47:52.239
<v Speaker 1>great experience. So go check them out. All right, we're

0:47:52.280 --> 0:47:54.520
<v Speaker 1>wrapping things up. We've had a great conversation with Dak

0:47:54.600 --> 0:47:57.440
<v Speaker 1>and about Dak and what's going on over the last

0:47:57.560 --> 0:48:01.200
<v Speaker 1>month or so of the season. He did win the game. Heck,

0:48:01.239 --> 0:48:03.440
<v Speaker 1>ma Harrison, there's a game this week. There is a

0:48:03.440 --> 0:48:06.239
<v Speaker 1>game this week, New York Giants on the docket. I

0:48:06.280 --> 0:48:08.879
<v Speaker 1>think the biggest frustration this will be the final kind

0:48:08.920 --> 0:48:10.760
<v Speaker 1>of talking point that we have. I think the biggest

0:48:10.760 --> 0:48:13.840
<v Speaker 1>frustration for Cowboys fans right now isn't the fact that

0:48:13.880 --> 0:48:15.520
<v Speaker 1>you're nine and four and you're winning too the vision.

0:48:15.560 --> 0:48:17.920
<v Speaker 1>None of that should matter at the moment because you

0:48:17.960 --> 0:48:20.520
<v Speaker 1>feel good about where this team is. I think the

0:48:20.600 --> 0:48:22.960
<v Speaker 1>frustration is where you want this team to go. Oh.

0:48:23.680 --> 0:48:26.040
<v Speaker 1>I think it's where you want the expectations to be.

0:48:26.040 --> 0:48:28.360
<v Speaker 1>Because in the past, the expectation is that if you

0:48:28.440 --> 0:48:31.400
<v Speaker 1>have a middle of the road defense and the offense

0:48:31.520 --> 0:48:34.560
<v Speaker 1>is what they're expected to be, you feel really good

0:48:34.600 --> 0:48:38.040
<v Speaker 1>about your chances come playoff time. That's not the case.

0:48:38.120 --> 0:48:42.120
<v Speaker 1>Right now. The defense is exceptional, the defense is continuing

0:48:42.160 --> 0:48:44.600
<v Speaker 1>to peak, and now the offense is lagging. But you

0:48:44.640 --> 0:48:48.160
<v Speaker 1>feel like there's opportunity there. So do you agree disagree?

0:48:48.440 --> 0:48:50.800
<v Speaker 1>Is it more about the expectation of where this team

0:48:50.800 --> 0:48:52.920
<v Speaker 1>needs to go as opposed to the nine and four

0:48:53.000 --> 0:48:55.479
<v Speaker 1>record of where they're at right now? You know, being

0:48:56.080 --> 0:48:58.520
<v Speaker 1>he's the only guy that's ever received the Lombardi Trophy.

0:48:58.560 --> 0:49:00.839
<v Speaker 1>I think he knows that the Lombard he always gets

0:49:00.840 --> 0:49:04.759
<v Speaker 1>delivered in February. It never gets delivered in December. So

0:49:04.840 --> 0:49:07.200
<v Speaker 1>we still have everything to play for and everything is

0:49:07.239 --> 0:49:09.680
<v Speaker 1>in front of us. And so you talk about doing

0:49:09.719 --> 0:49:12.799
<v Speaker 1>shows with Kyle and Kyle critiquing what you do and

0:49:12.840 --> 0:49:15.239
<v Speaker 1>you having to come back and be better. Everybody knows

0:49:15.280 --> 0:49:17.960
<v Speaker 1>that Dad can come back and be better. He's had

0:49:18.000 --> 0:49:20.799
<v Speaker 1>to overachieve his whole career, from being picked in the

0:49:20.800 --> 0:49:23.480
<v Speaker 1>fourth round to now being the Crown Prince as a

0:49:23.600 --> 0:49:27.080
<v Speaker 1>quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys. He will be better. What

0:49:27.120 --> 0:49:30.120
<v Speaker 1>do you think? I think you're right. I think we're

0:49:30.160 --> 0:49:33.920
<v Speaker 1>watching the game last night, Cardinals, Rams, Rams rise up

0:49:33.920 --> 0:49:35.920
<v Speaker 1>and win that game. Who this has a chance to

0:49:35.960 --> 0:49:40.080
<v Speaker 1>be the most stack NFC playoffs I've seen since the nineties,

0:49:40.440 --> 0:49:42.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. So yeah, I think that's a huge

0:49:42.600 --> 0:49:45.120
<v Speaker 1>viewpoint from the fan base of not only like we've

0:49:45.120 --> 0:49:47.319
<v Speaker 1>seen what they can do, what they're capable of. Let's

0:49:47.360 --> 0:49:50.000
<v Speaker 1>get back to that what it's going to take to

0:49:50.040 --> 0:49:54.840
<v Speaker 1>get through the NFC playoffs, because there is it's limitless

0:49:54.880 --> 0:49:57.160
<v Speaker 1>the number of really good teams that they could run

0:49:57.200 --> 0:50:00.160
<v Speaker 1>into in January, so they have to get better they

0:50:00.200 --> 0:50:03.240
<v Speaker 1>do now. Look Kyler Murray through two picks last night. Hello,

0:50:03.400 --> 0:50:06.520
<v Speaker 1>hasn't been the same quarterback as good? Still good, not

0:50:07.000 --> 0:50:09.920
<v Speaker 1>as great as before the injury. This is what happens.

0:50:09.960 --> 0:50:13.280
<v Speaker 1>Team teams make adjustments. They've got a month to figure

0:50:13.320 --> 0:50:16.359
<v Speaker 1>it out and get their things righted before playoff time

0:50:16.400 --> 0:50:18.800
<v Speaker 1>because they're inching closer and closer to clinch in the division.

0:50:19.480 --> 0:50:23.440
<v Speaker 1>Touche touch. That's all you need to talk about, all right,

0:50:23.480 --> 0:50:25.960
<v Speaker 1>that doesn't for us here on Talking Cowboys, Thanks to

0:50:26.000 --> 0:50:29.040
<v Speaker 1>all of our fan callers and Cowboys Nation for chiming in.

0:50:29.120 --> 0:50:33.160
<v Speaker 1>Tomorrow we preview the Giants offense versus the Cowboys defense.

0:50:33.560 --> 0:50:36.200
<v Speaker 1>How does that turn out for the Cowboys? I think

0:50:36.239 --> 0:50:40.279
<v Speaker 1>it looks pretty good for the Plazuka micampartrions for Chris Beef,

0:50:40.560 --> 0:50:43.040
<v Speaker 1>Rob phillipsis as stand back. Heck my Harrison, I'm Kyle

0:50:43.080 --> 0:50:46.279
