I feel like this drop 0:00:49.640 --> 0:00:57.640 is just building the anticipation. Okay, welcome in to Talking Cowboys, 0:00:57.720 --> 0:01:00.600 presented by a Black Rifle Coffee Company year from the 0:01:00.640 --> 0:01:04.959 Star in Frisco. Happy holidays everybody. As we are turning 0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:08.840 the page to the Christmas Eve matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles, 0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:13.000 the Cowboys, welcome it in there. Hated NFC East of 0:01:13.120 --> 0:01:17.039 Visional foe to AT and T Stadium coming up on Saturday. 0:01:17.080 --> 0:01:18.800 Don't like him at all. Chris Beam in the back 0:01:18.840 --> 0:01:22.400 with the extra production work. This morning, we've got Patrick 0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:25.319 Nose Walker. Yeah, you know Beamer. He just muted it 0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:28.759 on the program, but he's back there, just still rocking 0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:31.680 with it. If people wasn't you're ready for NFL game, 0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:33.560 like to play a game. I wonder what his pregame 0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:41.320 ritual will be to listen to ritual? Have one, everybody 0:01:41.319 --> 0:01:44.000 has one. I'm forty four years ago. I stretched a 0:01:44.040 --> 0:01:48.560 little bit. That's a good one, coach, you know how 0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:52.080 that is. Stretching matters. Yeah, that's a good feeling it 0:01:52.120 --> 0:01:55.440 for a week later. Stretching matters. So And honestly, if 0:01:55.440 --> 0:01:57.440 you guys don't know what Beam does on game day, 0:01:57.440 --> 0:02:00.560 he's running up and down the sidelines already. He's doing 0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:03.160 some stuffuns according how what would be your pregame ritual? 0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:06.520 I like to lock in, like listen to music. A 0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:08.960 little bit of music. You listen to a little bit 0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:11.720 of everything. Oh so a little jazz, nuh? I mean 0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:14.360 it's got to be a little harder than jas country. No, 0:02:14.680 --> 0:02:17.160 I don't think I would listen to like hard country. 0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:18.880 This is exactly what I listened to that's in the 0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:21.720 background right now. This is what it'd just be me like, 0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:24.880 sitting there with the headphones on. I would be very worried. Now. 0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:28.160 I think it'd probably be like R and B. What 0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:31.000 a little R and B, A little wrap R and B. Yeah, honestly, 0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:33.160 I'm all over the place, dude, I see that. Man, 0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:35.480 I loved it. What about your expect Well, what I 0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:37.519 used to do. Yeah, come home, tell the people school, 0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:40.240 college days, a lot of people, um well, depending on 0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:43.440 the sport, but definitely hard rock too. For football, I'd 0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:47.959 walk the field pregame barefoot, barefoot, so I feel the 0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:50.840 blaze of grass, kind of get completely into the I 0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:53.440 think the more we learn about you, Patrick, the more 0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:55.639 you stepping on a nail one morning makes a lot 0:02:55.639 --> 0:02:58.799 of sense. Yeah I didn't. I didn't say it didn't 0:02:58.800 --> 0:03:02.000 make sense that I am so upset with myself. So 0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:08.280 I will ask why would you do? Because this morning 0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:10.440 I was like like driving and I'm like, you hunting 0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:17.639 drop I need to get is the falls back? I 0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:20.160 need to get that drop. That's just for this moment. 0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:25.040 I'm so that's me connecting with the field. So avatar, 0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:27.799 so you're your avatar, and pre game, I have the 0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:29.600 headphones zone, I have the music own by the way, 0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:31.919 that's a really good movie. Yeah, yeah, worked out, but 0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:35.480 it's not sponsored. So so I walked to the football 0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:38.160 field bare foot pregame with my headphones zone, and I'd 0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:41.120 be literally envisioning the plays that I wanted to make 0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:43.680 in that game. So, you know, because as you think, 0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:47.320 you create. So that was my football pre game ritual. 0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:49.480 I had a different ritual for each sport though. What 0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:52.480 was yours? I was turned? Yeah, yeah, I was turned. 0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:55.600 That does not my headphones on, Like I'm in my 0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:58.040 own zone. I don't really talk to nobody. I've just 0:03:58.160 --> 0:04:00.960 got my music on my playlist. Is it is random? 0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:03.800 So you weren't like bippity bopping in around the locker 0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:06.440 room the same way that you do. Like you do 0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:10.880 with the pregame studio, we get pretty litt in the 0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:14.880 studio pre games. See on air media pregame and on 0:04:15.160 --> 0:04:18.280 field pre game two totally different things. Yeah, on air 0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:20.360 media pre game, I'm turning up with all my with 0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:21.720 my crew. You know what I'm saying. We gotta be 0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:23.520 linked up. We gotta be a throw things to each other, 0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:26.279 pick it up. On field, I'm in my own zone. 0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:28.479 You know I got my I got anything. I got 0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:30.840 past the Troy, I got a little John, I got 0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:33.160 come on, man, come on man, you know I got 0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:36.280 you got t Yeah. I gotta be crawling on the 0:04:36.320 --> 0:04:38.320 ground a little bit. And then I go outside and 0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:40.760 I hit my lap. Okay, I hit my lap around 0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:42.359 the field, and then I do a back put around 0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:44.240 the field and I do my shuffles, and I do 0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:46.600 my whole little you know, active warm up, and then 0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:48.000 I go in there and I get stretched out and 0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:50.320 get the chiropractor work okay, and then I get last 0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:53.880 up and let's go. Let's fancy chiropractor work. You gotta 0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:55.640 get loose, man, I gotta have loose hips, loose hips 0:04:55.720 --> 0:05:00.640 and ships. Maybe is that a saying is now? It 0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:05.640 is not? Yeah? And all the ship's going on, hey man. 0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:08.560 So everybody has their pre game. I'm just I'm your 0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:11.080 jazz and country. Hard country is kind of surprising to me. 0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:14.320 I didn't say hard country. You said that. I didn't. 0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:16.800 I would rather say I would say hard rock. Your 0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:21.440 DMX talking, I had Little John Passage, Troy Dmax, Donnie mclark. 0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:23.400 It was It's dark and hell is hot. The intro 0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:27.520 to you remember you remember Headstrong by Trapped back in 0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:30.719 the day, you remember Headstrong, I remember his strong Strong 0:05:30.800 --> 0:05:34.039 with the song little I mean no different, Yeah, different, 0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:36.360 one different Headstrong. There's a couple of them. DM mixed 0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:38.920 intro is dark and hell is hot. Every single time 0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:43.280 you to one to come through, run to run through. 0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:49.960 I don't know what. And as serious week as this is, 0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:52.080 I'm gonna I'm gonna go into the locker room and 0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:56.200 be like, hey, guys, what's your what's your pregame ritual? Absolutely, 0:05:56.520 --> 0:06:01.160 what's going on, especially on in your head? Especially speaking 0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:04.120 of which should it's apropos, because it should be it's 0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:07.920 dark and hell's hot, get into it. Get speaking of 0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:11.200 Let's go into some news and notes. Cowboys facing the 0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:14.320 Eagles on Saturday. They both hit the practice field yesterday 0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:17.360 because it technically was like a half day where it 0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:19.600 was late and the players came in and got a 0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:22.159 little walk through in, but there was an injury report 0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:25.120 to kind of pick through. There's walk through from both teams, 0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:27.720 So take the injury report with a grain of salt. 0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:33.160 But there are some positives, specifically for the Cowboys Jake Ferguson, 0:06:33.400 --> 0:06:37.040 who remains in concussion protocol and he did not practice 0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:39.719 at all last week. He returned in a limited capacity 0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:43.080 on yesterday. So progress for Jake Ferguson as he attempts 0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:45.720 to get cleared from concussion protocol. And I will say 0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:49.520 there's a side note that is also related to Jake 0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:52.040 Ferguson that I take it as a side note. So 0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:54.279 on the practice squad, the Cowboys due to the short 0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:57.320 term injury to Lvee. They resigned Malik Jefferson to the 0:06:57.400 --> 0:07:00.160 practice squad, So Malik Jefferson is back to make room 0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:02.760 from Elie Jefferson. They really Seth Green the tight end. 0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:05.520 My thought process is you don't release a tight end 0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:08.040 from the practice squad if Jake Ferguson is not trending 0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:10.920 toward possibly playing against the Eagles this week, So kind 0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:12.920 of keep an eye on that. I think those two 0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:14.720 things are related as far as Seth Green and Jake 0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:18.440 Ferguson are concern But Elie Jefferson is back. Jake Ferguson 0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:23.560 limited durance, Armstrong knee limited nor brown foot, but he 0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:27.480 was limited. He did participate. Jay Ron Curse, same shoulder 0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:29.720 issue he's been dealing with, but he was limited into 0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:33.400 Marcus Lawrence whole body but no literally foot is what 0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:37.040 it's listed as limited. He's going to play. Michael Parsons 0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:41.760 did not participate with guess what fella's illness that the 0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:46.040 bug just won't completely go away, will not the Cowboys 0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:48.320 locker room, So keep an eye on Michael Parsons will 0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:53.000 see if he participates in practice on today's Wednesday. Yeah, yep, Okay, 0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:56.000 short weeks, so yeah, during the days off going to 0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:59.280 the Philadelphia Eagle side of the equation, as expected, Jalen 0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:03.280 Hurts older Sprain did not participate. Gardner Minsh who did 0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:05.559 not participate either, but he was excused for personal reasons. 0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:08.600 I believe he was at the Mike Leach Yeah, I 0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:10.360 think he was. I believe he's at the mic Leach 0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:14.560 Memorial Um. But he's expected back in practice on Thursday 0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:18.440 or Wednesday. I'm sorry. See the days Zach Pascal concussion protocol. 0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:21.440 The wide receiver did not participate in Cavana, while it's 0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:23.480 the safety with a hip injury did not participate. So 0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:28.440 four dnps for the Eagles, most notably Jalen Hurts the 0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:31.280 shoulder and it is now officially. We were trying to 0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:33.800 figure it out because there were conflicting reports yesterday, even 0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:36.800 though the video was pretty obvious. It's listed on the 0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:41.880 injury report as right shoulder everywhere, but here it talking 0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:46.080 cowboy because we watched the film. So it is official. Boom, 0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:49.720 it is a shoulder sprain in his throwing shoulder, which 0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:52.920 exponentially decreases the odds of him taking the field on 0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:55.839 a short week against the Cowboys. Okay, so today we 0:08:56.000 --> 0:09:00.240 preview the Cowboys defense versus the Philly offense. They wos 0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:03.600 one guy potentially in Jalen Hurts. They get one guy 0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:06.439 back in Dallas Goddard. He is now activated and back 0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:11.120 and ready to play against Dallas. So with that being said, 0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:14.679 how significant is this for the Cowboys or I mean 0:09:15.120 --> 0:09:18.240 the Cowboys defense Philly offense, but Philly offense is really 0:09:18.320 --> 0:09:20.640 kind of what I'm leaning toward. How significant is it 0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:23.559 the fact that they will not have Jalen Hurts? Is 0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:26.000 he that big of an impact player? Yes he is, 0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:27.720 Yes he is, and he is that big of an 0:09:27.720 --> 0:09:30.560 impact player. I'm just asking the question. I'm not I'm 0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:33.240 not leading. I don't agree, but I mean, so, yes, 0:09:33.320 --> 0:09:35.199 he is that great of an impact player. He is 0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:38.000 that important to that organization, much like a Dak Prescott 0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:40.040 is that important to the Dallas Cowboys. But much like 0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:42.840 the Dallas Cowboys, they were able to Dallas was able 0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:45.959 to get the Doves while while Dak was out. So 0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:49.120 don't expect the Philadelwi Eagles so just all of a 0:09:49.160 --> 0:09:51.199 sudden not to be able to find a way to 0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:54.600 get w's with Jalen Hurts potentially out. These guys are 0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:57.520 still a threat. These guys are still dangerous, These guys 0:09:57.559 --> 0:10:00.560 still have weapons. Right, if this is true, if Jalen 0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:03.160 Hurts cannot play, then Michael Parsons, you have an opportunity 0:10:03.160 --> 0:10:04.960 to prove your statements that you had last week. Right 0:10:05.800 --> 0:10:07.920 when it comes to Jalen Hurts. Here here's a little 0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:10.760 bit of science as far as his science. Right, this 0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:14.000 is a guy who has he's the second leading rusher 0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:16.760 on the team, behind only Miles Center, seven hundred forty 0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:19.000 seven rushing yards. This that's pretty good in it. That's 0:10:19.120 --> 0:10:22.360 damn yeah. Science especially that's good for a running back 0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:29.160 deep he's a quarterback. He also has thirteen rushing touchdowns, 0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:32.839 leads the teams in rushing touchdown. Yeah, that's all just 0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:36.760 through fourteen weeks. Weeks, ye're just averaging almost a touchdown 0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:39.120 a game, almost a rushing touchdown a game. And that's 0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:41.200 not to mention what he does in the passing game 0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:43.559 with a J. Brown and Devantae Smith and you know 0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:45.920 Dallas Godard, whin Dallas Goddard was on the field with him. 0:10:46.480 --> 0:10:48.720 So to answer your question and simply put yes, Jalen 0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:54.640 Hurts is infinitely more valuable to what the Eagles have 0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:57.599 done than Dallas Goddard's return with being that's why the 0:10:57.640 --> 0:11:01.120 Eagles continue to win without Dallas Goddard. Not to say 0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:04.680 they don't need Dallas Goddard because obviously he's a playmaker 0:11:04.720 --> 0:11:06.680 as well. Yeah, but if you're weighing the two against 0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:10.679 each other, the loss of Hurts wildly outweighs the readdition 0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:14.920 of Dallas Goddard. But like Aziah said, this is a 0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:18.000 Cooper Rush scenario for the Philadelphia Eagles, which is it's 0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:21.400 just poetic justice, right because the Eagles beat up on 0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:24.079 Cooper Rush for three interceptions and one day game, and 0:11:24.480 --> 0:11:26.800 now in the rematch, the Cowboys will likely be up 0:11:26.840 --> 0:11:28.719 against the Eagles back up, and let's see what the 0:11:28.760 --> 0:11:31.080 Cowboys can do against the Eagles back up. But Garden Missue, 0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:33.880 like Cooper Rush is serviceable if we need some games 0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:36.599 and he's got the weapons. If there wasn't video of 0:11:36.920 --> 0:11:39.319 Jalen Hurts getting hurt, like if there wasn't like a 0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:43.120 clear play where you could say, oh, yeah, yeah, Jalen 0:11:43.200 --> 0:11:44.959 Hurts a little banged up, and then watch the rest 0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:46.240 of the game and it's like, oh yeah, he's a 0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:48.760 little banged up playing through it, I would think this 0:11:48.840 --> 0:11:52.439 would be total game and gamesman's ship from Philly, and 0:11:52.520 --> 0:11:55.079 it still might be. Who knows. I don't think it is, 0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:57.920 but it might be. There's like a point one percent 0:11:58.080 --> 0:12:01.960 chance you're seeing but shit, you think about it, you're thinking, 0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:04.760 like you said poetic Justice, Cooper Rush was there the 0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:07.559 first time around. Now it's Gardner Minshew and this is 0:12:07.600 --> 0:12:09.480 gonna be great. And then Jalen Hurts trots out there 0:12:09.520 --> 0:12:12.559 on Saturday. He's ready to roll like that would that 0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:14.360 would blow my mind. That'd be such a Philly thing 0:12:14.400 --> 0:12:18.920 to do. So I think Jalen Hurts is a difference 0:12:19.000 --> 0:12:21.560 maker because of a couple of reasons. One, he takes 0:12:21.600 --> 0:12:25.480 care of the football. Secondly, he provides an element to 0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:29.520 that offense that isn't necessarily there without him. But where 0:12:29.840 --> 0:12:33.920 is the drop off? Most notable between Jalen Hurts and 0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:38.439 Gardner Minshew, Isaiah, because you mentioned it yesterday, you like Minshew? 0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:40.280 Do you like him as a quarterback as a guy 0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:43.760 who comes in and is serviceable. If you can do 0:12:44.559 --> 0:12:47.679 a lot of different things, that makes you great if 0:12:47.720 --> 0:12:50.199 you're good, where is the drop off? Because Gardner Minshew 0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:51.679 is in Jalen Hurts for a reason, you know, I 0:12:51.720 --> 0:12:55.719 mean versatility. You talk about not only confidence within the 0:12:55.880 --> 0:12:59.440 organization and within the roster, trusting him to be able 0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:01.880 to execute, make plays and things of that nature. You know, 0:13:01.960 --> 0:13:04.000 and then you have to look at the scheme. What 0:13:04.200 --> 0:13:07.600 is their scheme? RPO zone read those types of things. 0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:10.520 Can Minshew do that? I'm sure he can. Can he 0:13:10.640 --> 0:13:13.640 do it to that level? No? I mean you know 0:13:13.640 --> 0:13:15.840 what's say. I mean, anybody can really run that stuff. 0:13:16.280 --> 0:13:18.440 He's athletic enough to run the RPO A type offense. 0:13:18.440 --> 0:13:20.640 I'm gonna say their gardner Minshew is athletic enough to 0:13:20.720 --> 0:13:22.480 run that offense. Is he going to run it to 0:13:22.559 --> 0:13:25.160 the same level of a Jalen Hurts, Absolutely freaking knot. 0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:27.280 So that is why there's a huge drop off there. 0:13:27.520 --> 0:13:29.680 Can he make those same throws that Jalen Hurts can make? 0:13:29.720 --> 0:13:31.880 Absolutely not. He doesn't have that strong of an arm. 0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:34.280 He's not as accurate as him. He is a backup 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:36.560 quarterback for a reason. He's been that in everywhere every 0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:38.840 stuff that he's made. That's no disrespect He's still one 0:13:38.880 --> 0:13:40.720 of the best in the world, just not a starter 0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:44.199 in the league. I believe that when I say, when 0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:46.000 we talk about the worst serviceable, I think there's some 0:13:46.080 --> 0:13:47.800 guys that are serviceable, and I think that there's some 0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:51.079 guys that are serviceable, but you can still run your offense. 0:13:51.240 --> 0:13:54.240 I think Dallas had to change their offense with Cooper 0:13:54.320 --> 0:13:57.839 Rush at the quarterback position. I don't think that Philadelphia 0:13:58.000 --> 0:14:01.640 changes their offense that drastically with Gardener Menshoe at quarterback. 0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:03.640 Now are they going to ask him to run the 0:14:03.720 --> 0:14:05.880 ball as much? Are they gonna tell him that, hey, 0:14:05.920 --> 0:14:08.240 you have the full availability to pull this thing whenever 0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:10.040 you want to. I don't think he's gonna have as 0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:12.679 much freedom nowhere near it, probably, But I think that 0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:16.480 they're still gonna keep the identity of their offense. So, yes, 0:14:16.559 --> 0:14:18.400 you're looking at a different quarterback. Yes, you're looking at 0:14:18.440 --> 0:14:20.840 somebody who's not as capable. But I think, like I said, 0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:22.560 I'm gonna keep going back to the statement Michael May 0:14:22.600 --> 0:14:25.000 because he made it right. He said that Jalen Hursts 0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:27.800 is only only noticeable because of the fact that he 0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:31.240 has all the talent around him. Well here's your chance. Yeah, 0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:34.000 we're finding it out right. Well, for me, it's it's 0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:37.800 everything as as said, you know, period, I mean exclamation point. 0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:40.760 He nailed it on all points point number one. Primarily, 0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:44.960 it's it's the rushing attack. There's a huge difference there. 0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:47.680 So while you will probably see a couple of RPOs 0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:51.120 because Menshoe does have enough athleticism to run them. If 0:14:51.120 --> 0:14:53.440 you're the Cowboys defense, if you're any defense going against 0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:55.520 Gardon Men's shoe versus Jalen Hurts, are you afraid that 0:14:55.560 --> 0:14:57.000 he's going to take it to the house. No, you 0:14:57.120 --> 0:14:59.440 are deathly afraid that Jalen Hurts is gonna make somebody 0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:02.360 miss and end up turning that, you know, three yard 0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:05.480 third down conversion into a sixty five yard touchdown because 0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:08.600 it can happen and then in the air, like Isaiah 0:15:08.600 --> 0:15:12.160 so eloquently said, while Gardner Minshue can make all the throws, 0:15:12.680 --> 0:15:14.800 he doesn't have the arm strength, he doesn't have the 0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:18.680 cannon that Jalen Hurts has. So it's just it creates 0:15:18.720 --> 0:15:24.520 a situation where the dynamic of the level of threat 0:15:24.680 --> 0:15:26.880 that Jalen Hurts presents it's just simply not presenting in 0:15:26.920 --> 0:15:28.800 Gardner Minshue. I don't I don't think that the Eagles 0:15:28.880 --> 0:15:31.440 will change their playbook, but I could see similar to 0:15:31.520 --> 0:15:34.240 what the Cowboys did with Cooper Rush, they put a 0:15:34.360 --> 0:15:37.280 cap why, they scaled it back quite a bit, So 0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:41.200 that's going to that should ideally theoretically make it easier 0:15:41.240 --> 0:15:43.320 for the Cowboys to skiing because they don't have to 0:15:43.360 --> 0:15:47.400 scheme as much of the Eagles playbook. So again, advantage 0:15:47.400 --> 0:15:51.640 Cowboys with an asterisk. Gardner Minshue can still win you games, 0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:53.480 and he still has a lot of weapons around him. Yep. 0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:55.720 You got to prepare the same way whether it's Jalen 0:15:55.800 --> 0:15:58.000 Hurts or Gardner Minshew. And this defense has a lot 0:15:58.120 --> 0:16:00.560 of things, a lot of things that they have to 0:16:00.640 --> 0:16:03.720 fix from week fifteen into week sixteen. We're gonna start 0:16:03.800 --> 0:16:06.240 naming those things when we come back. Where is the 0:16:06.360 --> 0:16:09.720 biggest impact needed from the defense this week and the 0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:12.320 biggest improvement on dan Quinn's unit when we come back 0:16:12.360 --> 0:16:16.760 with more talking Cowboys right after this.

Uh, 0:19:13.600 --> 0:19:16.200 did you guys hear about this story? Oh yeah, yeah, 0:19:17.280 --> 0:19:19.600 Isaiah just handed it to me. But I think it's 0:19:19.920 --> 0:19:24.040 really corny. Eagles sent thirty five cheese steaks to Doug 0:19:24.080 --> 0:19:28.960 Peterson and the Jacksonville Jaguars for beating the Cowboys Sunday. 0:19:29.080 --> 0:19:31.000 They did, they did, they did fire that guy, but 0:19:31.040 --> 0:19:36.880 here's some chee steaks. Yeah, we're being five. I think 0:19:36.960 --> 0:19:40.199 it was I don't know why thirty five because they 0:19:40.200 --> 0:19:43.639 couldn't afford more. It was a staff member that sent 0:19:43.720 --> 0:19:46.480 because they couldn't afford more. So that might be right, honestly, 0:19:46.640 --> 0:19:50.040 But the the thought process there said, of course that 0:19:50.800 --> 0:19:55.480 Jags did the Eagles a favor, which is true, they 0:19:55.560 --> 0:19:58.199 did the Eagles a favorite. But I thought absolutely they did. 0:19:58.440 --> 0:20:03.240 But Twitter hold me that you know from Eagles fans, Yeah, 0:20:03.400 --> 0:20:05.879 that they're not thinking about the car, they don't think 0:20:05.880 --> 0:20:07.440 about they don't think about the couple. They don't know. 0:20:08.520 --> 0:20:11.720 And then oh, okay, I get it. You're a lame 0:20:12.920 --> 0:20:15.399 get after Patrick, You're lame I love it when Patrick 0:20:15.480 --> 0:20:17.560 takes his Twitter drama and brings it onto the show. 0:20:17.720 --> 0:20:22.480 It's one of my favorite things ever. Cornballs just corn balls, right, 0:20:22.720 --> 0:20:25.320 all right, corn balls, stay away from the back of horses. 0:20:25.520 --> 0:20:32.160 Focus on that. Goodness, they know what we're talking about. Yeah, yeah, goodness, gracious, Um, 0:20:33.640 --> 0:20:36.760 where's the biggest improvement needed on this defense going into 0:20:37.119 --> 0:20:41.639 Saturday afternoon? From week fifteen to week sixteen? Where do 0:20:41.680 --> 0:20:43.480 you want to see the defense take the next step 0:20:43.600 --> 0:20:47.600 this week? Secondary just gotta be the secondary. Um, you 0:20:47.680 --> 0:20:49.480 want the run defense to short self back up. But 0:20:49.560 --> 0:20:51.760 what I will say is, more often than not, since 0:20:51.840 --> 0:20:54.879 the Green Bay game, the run defense has showed up. 0:20:55.119 --> 0:20:58.879 Now we'll see, you know, how they try to replace 0:20:58.960 --> 0:21:01.800 the production of LV. We'll see how that works. But 0:21:02.720 --> 0:21:05.520 I'm more inclined to look at that secondary outside of 0:21:05.600 --> 0:21:09.119 Trevon digs Well, more specifically the cornerback position, because I 0:21:09.160 --> 0:21:11.320 like what the safeties are doing. So if you look 0:21:11.359 --> 0:21:14.600 at CB two in that role specifically, that's the Achilles 0:21:14.680 --> 0:21:18.119 heel right now, that particular question mark cost the Cowboys 0:21:18.240 --> 0:21:21.800 at least two touchdowns against the Jacksonville Jaguars, and you 0:21:21.880 --> 0:21:24.000 take away just one of those touchdowns and the Cowboys 0:21:24.080 --> 0:21:26.320 win this game, let alone take away two of them, 0:21:26.600 --> 0:21:28.879 and now it's an open competition, as it should be. 0:21:29.840 --> 0:21:32.720 But now the question mark becomes okay, well, first it 0:21:32.920 --> 0:21:35.639 was can Calvin Joseph do it? So it looks like 0:21:35.680 --> 0:21:37.640 he's struggling in that, so they opened up the competition. 0:21:37.680 --> 0:21:39.760 So now the question mark shifts over to which one 0:21:39.800 --> 0:21:42.320
