Speaker 1: The following he's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. Cowboys. This he's Talking Cowboys,
Speaker 1: screaming live from the Dallas Cowboys World Hours at the
Speaker 1: Star in Frisco. Elliott following to the goal line, SA
Speaker 1: Coscott Pictures and now your hosts, I say a stand back,
Speaker 1: Patrick Walker and Kyle Yeoman's. I feel like this drop
Speaker 1: is just building the anticipation. Okay, welcome in to Talking Cowboys,
Speaker 1: presented by a Black Rifle Coffee Company year from the
Speaker 1: Star in Frisco. Happy holidays everybody. As we are turning
Speaker 1: the page to the Christmas Eve matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles,
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, welcome it in there. Hated NFC East of
Speaker 1: Visional foe to AT and T Stadium coming up on Saturday.
Speaker 1: Don't like him at all. Chris Beam in the back
Speaker 1: with the extra production work. This morning, we've got Patrick
Speaker 1: Nose Walker. Yeah, you know Beamer. He just muted it
Speaker 1: on the program, but he's back there, just still rocking
Speaker 1: with it. If people wasn't you're ready for NFL game,
Speaker 1: like to play a game. I wonder what his pregame
Speaker 1: ritual will be to listen to ritual? Have one, everybody
Speaker 1: has one. I'm forty four years ago. I stretched a
Speaker 1: little bit. That's a good one, coach, you know how
Speaker 1: that is. Stretching matters. Yeah, that's a good feeling it
Speaker 1: for a week later. Stretching matters. So And honestly, if
Speaker 1: you guys don't know what Beam does on game day,
Speaker 1: he's running up and down the sidelines already. He's doing
Speaker 1: some stuffuns according how what would be your pregame ritual?
Speaker 1: I like to lock in, like listen to music. A
Speaker 1: little bit of music. You listen to a little bit
Speaker 1: of everything. Oh so a little jazz, nuh? I mean
Speaker 1: it's got to be a little harder than jas country. No,
Speaker 1: I don't think I would listen to like hard country.
Speaker 1: This is exactly what I listened to that's in the
Speaker 1: background right now. This is what it'd just be me like,
Speaker 1: sitting there with the headphones on. I would be very worried. Now.
Speaker 1: I think it'd probably be like R and B. What
Speaker 1: a little R and B, A little wrap R and B. Yeah, honestly,
Speaker 1: I'm all over the place, dude, I see that. Man,
Speaker 1: I loved it. What about your expect Well, what I
Speaker 1: used to do. Yeah, come home, tell the people school,
Speaker 1: college days, a lot of people, um well, depending on
Speaker 1: the sport, but definitely hard rock too. For football, I'd
Speaker 1: walk the field pregame barefoot, barefoot, so I feel the
Speaker 1: blaze of grass, kind of get completely into the I
Speaker 1: think the more we learn about you, Patrick, the more
Speaker 1: you stepping on a nail one morning makes a lot
Speaker 1: of sense. Yeah I didn't. I didn't say it didn't
Speaker 1: make sense that I am so upset with myself. So
Speaker 1: I will ask why would you do? Because this morning
Speaker 1: I was like like driving and I'm like, you hunting
Speaker 1: drop I need to get is the falls back? I
Speaker 1: need to get that drop. That's just for this moment.
Speaker 1: I'm so that's me connecting with the field. So avatar,
Speaker 1: so you're your avatar, and pre game, I have the
Speaker 1: headphones zone, I have the music own by the way,
Speaker 1: that's a really good movie. Yeah, yeah, worked out, but
Speaker 1: it's not sponsored. So so I walked to the football
Speaker 1: field bare foot pregame with my headphones zone, and I'd
Speaker 1: be literally envisioning the plays that I wanted to make
Speaker 1: in that game. So, you know, because as you think,
Speaker 1: you create. So that was my football pre game ritual.
Speaker 1: I had a different ritual for each sport though. What
Speaker 1: was yours? I was turned? Yeah, yeah, I was turned.
Speaker 1: That does not my headphones on, Like I'm in my
Speaker 1: own zone. I don't really talk to nobody. I've just
Speaker 1: got my music on my playlist. Is it is random?
Speaker 1: So you weren't like bippity bopping in around the locker
Speaker 1: room the same way that you do. Like you do
Speaker 1: with the pregame studio, we get pretty litt in the
Speaker 1: studio pre games. See on air media pregame and on
Speaker 1: field pre game two totally different things. Yeah, on air
Speaker 1: media pre game, I'm turning up with all my with
Speaker 1: my crew. You know what I'm saying. We gotta be
Speaker 1: linked up. We gotta be a throw things to each other,
Speaker 1: pick it up. On field, I'm in my own zone.
Speaker 1: You know I got my I got anything. I got
Speaker 1: past the Troy, I got a little John, I got
Speaker 1: come on, man, come on man, you know I got
Speaker 1: you got t Yeah. I gotta be crawling on the
Speaker 1: ground a little bit. And then I go outside and
Speaker 1: I hit my lap. Okay, I hit my lap around
Speaker 1: the field, and then I do a back put around
Speaker 1: the field and I do my shuffles, and I do
Speaker 1: my whole little you know, active warm up, and then
Speaker 1: I go in there and I get stretched out and
Speaker 1: get the chiropractor work okay, and then I get last
Speaker 1: up and let's go. Let's fancy chiropractor work. You gotta
Speaker 1: get loose, man, I gotta have loose hips, loose hips
Speaker 1: and ships. Maybe is that a saying is now? It
Speaker 1: is not? Yeah? And all the ship's going on, hey man.
Speaker 1: So everybody has their pre game. I'm just I'm your
Speaker 1: jazz and country. Hard country is kind of surprising to me.
Speaker 1: I didn't say hard country. You said that. I didn't.
Speaker 1: I would rather say I would say hard rock. Your
Speaker 1: DMX talking, I had Little John Passage, Troy Dmax, Donnie mclark.
Speaker 1: It was It's dark and hell is hot. The intro
Speaker 1: to you remember you remember Headstrong by Trapped back in
Speaker 1: the day, you remember Headstrong, I remember his strong Strong
Speaker 1: with the song little I mean no different, Yeah, different,
Speaker 1: one different Headstrong. There's a couple of them. DM mixed
Speaker 1: intro is dark and hell is hot. Every single time
Speaker 1: you to one to come through, run to run through.
Speaker 1: I don't know what. And as serious week as this is,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna go into the locker room and
Speaker 1: be like, hey, guys, what's your what's your pregame ritual? Absolutely,
Speaker 1: what's going on, especially on in your head? Especially speaking
Speaker 1: of which should it's apropos, because it should be it's
Speaker 1: dark and hell's hot, get into it. Get speaking of
Speaker 1: Let's go into some news and notes. Cowboys facing the
Speaker 1: Eagles on Saturday. They both hit the practice field yesterday
Speaker 1: because it technically was like a half day where it
Speaker 1: was late and the players came in and got a
Speaker 1: little walk through in, but there was an injury report
Speaker 1: to kind of pick through. There's walk through from both teams,
Speaker 1: So take the injury report with a grain of salt.
Speaker 1: But there are some positives, specifically for the Cowboys Jake Ferguson,
Speaker 1: who remains in concussion protocol and he did not practice
Speaker 1: at all last week. He returned in a limited capacity
Speaker 1: on yesterday. So progress for Jake Ferguson as he attempts
Speaker 1: to get cleared from concussion protocol. And I will say
Speaker 1: there's a side note that is also related to Jake
Speaker 1: Ferguson that I take it as a side note. So
Speaker 1: on the practice squad, the Cowboys due to the short
Speaker 1: term injury to Lvee. They resigned Malik Jefferson to the
Speaker 1: practice squad, So Malik Jefferson is back to make room
Speaker 1: from Elie Jefferson. They really Seth Green the tight end.
Speaker 1: My thought process is you don't release a tight end
Speaker 1: from the practice squad if Jake Ferguson is not trending
Speaker 1: toward possibly playing against the Eagles this week, So kind
Speaker 1: of keep an eye on that. I think those two
Speaker 1: things are related as far as Seth Green and Jake
Speaker 1: Ferguson are concern But Elie Jefferson is back. Jake Ferguson
Speaker 1: limited durance, Armstrong knee limited nor brown foot, but he
Speaker 1: was limited. He did participate. Jay Ron Curse, same shoulder
Speaker 1: issue he's been dealing with, but he was limited into
Speaker 1: Marcus Lawrence whole body but no literally foot is what
Speaker 1: it's listed as limited. He's going to play. Michael Parsons
Speaker 1: did not participate with guess what fella's illness that the
Speaker 1: bug just won't completely go away, will not the Cowboys
Speaker 1: locker room, So keep an eye on Michael Parsons will
Speaker 1: see if he participates in practice on today's Wednesday. Yeah, yep, Okay,
Speaker 1: short weeks, so yeah, during the days off going to
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagle side of the equation, as expected, Jalen
Speaker 1: Hurts older Sprain did not participate. Gardner Minsh who did
Speaker 1: not participate either, but he was excused for personal reasons.
Speaker 1: I believe he was at the Mike Leach Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think he was. I believe he's at the mic Leach
Speaker 1: Memorial Um. But he's expected back in practice on Thursday
Speaker 1: or Wednesday. I'm sorry. See the days Zach Pascal concussion protocol.
Speaker 1: The wide receiver did not participate in Cavana, while it's
Speaker 1: the safety with a hip injury did not participate. So
Speaker 1: four dnps for the Eagles, most notably Jalen Hurts the
Speaker 1: shoulder and it is now officially. We were trying to
Speaker 1: figure it out because there were conflicting reports yesterday, even
Speaker 1: though the video was pretty obvious. It's listed on the
Speaker 1: injury report as right shoulder everywhere, but here it talking
Speaker 1: cowboy because we watched the film. So it is official. Boom,
Speaker 1: it is a shoulder sprain in his throwing shoulder, which
Speaker 1: exponentially decreases the odds of him taking the field on
Speaker 1: a short week against the Cowboys. Okay, so today we
Speaker 1: preview the Cowboys defense versus the Philly offense. They wos
Speaker 1: one guy potentially in Jalen Hurts. They get one guy
Speaker 1: back in Dallas Goddard. He is now activated and back
Speaker 1: and ready to play against Dallas. So with that being said,
Speaker 1: how significant is this for the Cowboys or I mean
Speaker 1: the Cowboys defense Philly offense, but Philly offense is really
Speaker 1: kind of what I'm leaning toward. How significant is it
Speaker 1: the fact that they will not have Jalen Hurts? Is
Speaker 1: he that big of an impact player? Yes he is,
Speaker 1: Yes he is, and he is that big of an
Speaker 1: impact player. I'm just asking the question. I'm not I'm
Speaker 1: not leading. I don't agree, but I mean, so, yes,
Speaker 1: he is that great of an impact player. He is
Speaker 1: that important to that organization, much like a Dak Prescott
Speaker 1: is that important to the Dallas Cowboys. But much like
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys, they were able to Dallas was able
Speaker 1: to get the Doves while while Dak was out. So
Speaker 1: don't expect the Philadelwi Eagles so just all of a
Speaker 1: sudden not to be able to find a way to
Speaker 1: get w's with Jalen Hurts potentially out. These guys are
Speaker 1: still a threat. These guys are still dangerous, These guys
Speaker 1: still have weapons. Right, if this is true, if Jalen
Speaker 1: Hurts cannot play, then Michael Parsons, you have an opportunity
Speaker 1: to prove your statements that you had last week. Right
Speaker 1: when it comes to Jalen Hurts. Here here's a little
Speaker 1: bit of science as far as his science. Right, this
Speaker 1: is a guy who has he's the second leading rusher
Speaker 1: on the team, behind only Miles Center, seven hundred forty
Speaker 1: seven rushing yards. This that's pretty good in it. That's
Speaker 1: damn yeah. Science especially that's good for a running back
Speaker 1: deep he's a quarterback. He also has thirteen rushing touchdowns,
Speaker 1: leads the teams in rushing touchdown. Yeah, that's all just
Speaker 1: through fourteen weeks. Weeks, ye're just averaging almost a touchdown
Speaker 1: a game, almost a rushing touchdown a game. And that's
Speaker 1: not to mention what he does in the passing game
Speaker 1: with a J. Brown and Devantae Smith and you know
Speaker 1: Dallas Godard, whin Dallas Goddard was on the field with him.
Speaker 1: So to answer your question and simply put yes, Jalen
Speaker 1: Hurts is infinitely more valuable to what the Eagles have
Speaker 1: done than Dallas Goddard's return with being that's why the
Speaker 1: Eagles continue to win without Dallas Goddard. Not to say
Speaker 1: they don't need Dallas Goddard because obviously he's a playmaker
Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, but if you're weighing the two against
Speaker 1: each other, the loss of Hurts wildly outweighs the readdition
Speaker 1: of Dallas Goddard. But like Aziah said, this is a
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush scenario for the Philadelphia Eagles, which is it's
Speaker 1: just poetic justice, right because the Eagles beat up on
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush for three interceptions and one day game, and
Speaker 1: now in the rematch, the Cowboys will likely be up
Speaker 1: against the Eagles back up, and let's see what the
Speaker 1: Cowboys can do against the Eagles back up. But Garden Missue,
Speaker 1: like Cooper Rush is serviceable if we need some games
Speaker 1: and he's got the weapons. If there wasn't video of
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts getting hurt, like if there wasn't like a
Speaker 1: clear play where you could say, oh, yeah, yeah, Jalen
Speaker 1: Hurts a little banged up, and then watch the rest
Speaker 1: of the game and it's like, oh yeah, he's a
Speaker 1: little banged up playing through it, I would think this
Speaker 1: would be total game and gamesman's ship from Philly, and
Speaker 1: it still might be. Who knows. I don't think it is,
Speaker 1: but it might be. There's like a point one percent
Speaker 1: chance you're seeing but shit, you think about it, you're thinking,
Speaker 1: like you said poetic Justice, Cooper Rush was there the
Speaker 1: first time around. Now it's Gardner Minshew and this is
Speaker 1: gonna be great. And then Jalen Hurts trots out there
Speaker 1: on Saturday. He's ready to roll like that would that
Speaker 1: would blow my mind. That'd be such a Philly thing
Speaker 1: to do. So I think Jalen Hurts is a difference
Speaker 1: maker because of a couple of reasons. One, he takes
Speaker 1: care of the football. Secondly, he provides an element to
Speaker 1: that offense that isn't necessarily there without him. But where
Speaker 1: is the drop off? Most notable between Jalen Hurts and
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew, Isaiah, because you mentioned it yesterday, you like Minshew?
Speaker 1: Do you like him as a quarterback as a guy
Speaker 1: who comes in and is serviceable. If you can do
Speaker 1: a lot of different things, that makes you great if
Speaker 1: you're good, where is the drop off? Because Gardner Minshew
Speaker 1: is in Jalen Hurts for a reason, you know, I
Speaker 1: mean versatility. You talk about not only confidence within the
Speaker 1: organization and within the roster, trusting him to be able
Speaker 1: to execute, make plays and things of that nature. You know,
Speaker 1: and then you have to look at the scheme. What
Speaker 1: is their scheme? RPO zone read those types of things.
Speaker 1: Can Minshew do that? I'm sure he can. Can he
Speaker 1: do it to that level? No? I mean you know
Speaker 1: what's say. I mean, anybody can really run that stuff.
Speaker 1: He's athletic enough to run the RPO A type offense.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say their gardner Minshew is athletic enough to
Speaker 1: run that offense. Is he going to run it to
Speaker 1: the same level of a Jalen Hurts, Absolutely freaking knot.
Speaker 1: So that is why there's a huge drop off there.
Speaker 1: Can he make those same throws that Jalen Hurts can make?
Speaker 1: Absolutely not. He doesn't have that strong of an arm.
Speaker 1: He's not as accurate as him. He is a backup
Speaker 1: quarterback for a reason. He's been that in everywhere every
Speaker 1: stuff that he's made. That's no disrespect He's still one
Speaker 1: of the best in the world, just not a starter
Speaker 1: in the league. I believe that when I say, when
Speaker 1: we talk about the worst serviceable, I think there's some
Speaker 1: guys that are serviceable, and I think that there's some
Speaker 1: guys that are serviceable, but you can still run your offense.
Speaker 1: I think Dallas had to change their offense with Cooper
Speaker 1: Rush at the quarterback position. I don't think that Philadelphia
Speaker 1: changes their offense that drastically with Gardener Menshoe at quarterback.
Speaker 1: Now are they going to ask him to run the
Speaker 1: ball as much? Are they gonna tell him that, hey,
Speaker 1: you have the full availability to pull this thing whenever
Speaker 1: you want to. I don't think he's gonna have as
Speaker 1: much freedom nowhere near it, probably, But I think that
Speaker 1: they're still gonna keep the identity of their offense. So, yes,
Speaker 1: you're looking at a different quarterback. Yes, you're looking at
Speaker 1: somebody who's not as capable. But I think, like I said,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep going back to the statement Michael May
Speaker 1: because he made it right. He said that Jalen Hursts
Speaker 1: is only only noticeable because of the fact that he
Speaker 1: has all the talent around him. Well here's your chance. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're finding it out right. Well, for me, it's it's
Speaker 1: everything as as said, you know, period, I mean exclamation point.
Speaker 1: He nailed it on all points point number one. Primarily,
Speaker 1: it's it's the rushing attack. There's a huge difference there.
Speaker 1: So while you will probably see a couple of RPOs
Speaker 1: because Menshoe does have enough athleticism to run them. If
Speaker 1: you're the Cowboys defense, if you're any defense going against
Speaker 1: Gardon Men's shoe versus Jalen Hurts, are you afraid that
Speaker 1: he's going to take it to the house. No, you
Speaker 1: are deathly afraid that Jalen Hurts is gonna make somebody
Speaker 1: miss and end up turning that, you know, three yard
Speaker 1: third down conversion into a sixty five yard touchdown because
Speaker 1: it can happen and then in the air, like Isaiah
Speaker 1: so eloquently said, while Gardner Minshue can make all the throws,
Speaker 1: he doesn't have the arm strength, he doesn't have the
Speaker 1: cannon that Jalen Hurts has. So it's just it creates
Speaker 1: a situation where the dynamic of the level of threat
Speaker 1: that Jalen Hurts presents it's just simply not presenting in
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshue. I don't I don't think that the Eagles
Speaker 1: will change their playbook, but I could see similar to
Speaker 1: what the Cowboys did with Cooper Rush, they put a
Speaker 1: cap why, they scaled it back quite a bit, So
Speaker 1: that's going to that should ideally theoretically make it easier
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys to skiing because they don't have to
Speaker 1: scheme as much of the Eagles playbook. So again, advantage
Speaker 1: Cowboys with an asterisk. Gardner Minshue can still win you games,
Speaker 1: and he still has a lot of weapons around him. Yep.
Speaker 1: You got to prepare the same way whether it's Jalen
Speaker 1: Hurts or Gardner Minshew. And this defense has a lot
Speaker 1: of things, a lot of things that they have to
Speaker 1: fix from week fifteen into week sixteen. We're gonna start
Speaker 1: naming those things when we come back. Where is the
Speaker 1: biggest impact needed from the defense this week and the
Speaker 1: biggest improvement on dan Quinn's unit when we come back
Speaker 1: with more talking Cowboys right after this. When you build,

Speaker 1: do it like a like it's an air horn. Uh,
Speaker 1: did you guys hear about this story? Oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: Isaiah just handed it to me. But I think it's
Speaker 1: really corny. Eagles sent thirty five cheese steaks to Doug
Speaker 1: Peterson and the Jacksonville Jaguars for beating the Cowboys Sunday.
Speaker 1: They did, they did, they did fire that guy, but
Speaker 1: here's some chee steaks. Yeah, we're being five. I think
Speaker 1: it was I don't know why thirty five because they
Speaker 1: couldn't afford more. It was a staff member that sent
Speaker 1: because they couldn't afford more. So that might be right, honestly,
Speaker 1: But the the thought process there said, of course that
Speaker 1: Jags did the Eagles a favor, which is true, they
Speaker 1: did the Eagles a favorite. But I thought absolutely they did.
Speaker 1: But Twitter hold me that you know from Eagles fans, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that they're not thinking about the car, they don't think
Speaker 1: about they don't think about the couple. They don't know.
Speaker 1: And then oh, okay, I get it. You're a lame
Speaker 1: get after Patrick, You're lame I love it when Patrick
Speaker 1: takes his Twitter drama and brings it onto the show.
Speaker 1: It's one of my favorite things ever. Cornballs just corn balls, right,
Speaker 1: all right, corn balls, stay away from the back of horses.
Speaker 1: Focus on that. Goodness, they know what we're talking about. Yeah, yeah, goodness, gracious, Um,
Speaker 1: where's the biggest improvement needed on this defense going into
Speaker 1: Saturday afternoon? From week fifteen to week sixteen? Where do
Speaker 1: you want to see the defense take the next step
Speaker 1: this week? Secondary just gotta be the secondary. Um, you
Speaker 1: want the run defense to short self back up. But
Speaker 1: what I will say is, more often than not, since
Speaker 1: the Green Bay game, the run defense has showed up.
Speaker 1: Now we'll see, you know, how they try to replace
Speaker 1: the production of LV. We'll see how that works. But
Speaker 1: I'm more inclined to look at that secondary outside of
Speaker 1: Trevon digs Well, more specifically the cornerback position, because I
Speaker 1: like what the safeties are doing. So if you look
Speaker 1: at CB two in that role specifically, that's the Achilles
Speaker 1: heel right now, that particular question mark cost the Cowboys
Speaker 1: at least two touchdowns against the Jacksonville Jaguars, and you
Speaker 1: take away just one of those touchdowns and the Cowboys
Speaker 1: win this game, let alone take away two of them,
Speaker 1: and now it's an open competition, as it should be.
Speaker 1: But now the question mark becomes okay, well, first it
Speaker 1: was can Calvin Joseph do it? So it looks like
Speaker 1: he's struggling in that, so they opened up the competition.
Speaker 1: So now the question mark shifts over to which one
Speaker 1: of you guys can do it? Right? So, if it's
Speaker 1: not going to be Kelvin, you're looking at the Seawan right,
Speaker 1: possibly Israel mcquamo. You're looking at McKinsey, Alexander, you're looking
Speaker 1: at treyvon Mulling, you're looking at Kendall Sheffield, and you're saying, hey,
Speaker 1: one of you guys show me something. Otherwise the Cowboys
Speaker 1: might be in a position where they might have to
Speaker 1: do what they don't want to do, which is moved
Speaker 1: to Ron Bland to the outside and blank and play outside.
Speaker 1: But then it leaves you exposed at the nickel. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so you don't want to move to round. You want
Speaker 1: to solve the problem at CB two. So for me,
Speaker 1: that's it CB two. Okay. I like it. Secondary is
Speaker 1: a big one. I respect it. I'm not gonna agree.
Speaker 1: I'm going with the Yeah, I'm going with a defensive online.
Speaker 1: We have to this run defense. This run defense was
Speaker 1: a problem before. Who before who showed up? Hankins, Hankins
Speaker 1: showed up. You gave up two undred yards, You gave
Speaker 1: up two hundred yards right against Green Bay. And then
Speaker 1: you go out there and you grab a Johnathan Hankins
Speaker 1: and you come out in the first game had two hundred.
Speaker 1: But after that it was like nineteen seventy eight something
Speaker 1: like that against some of the best backs in the league.
Speaker 1: I think teams were afterging less than ninety yards per game.
Speaker 1: When after after one week after Hankins showed showed up
Speaker 1: into Dallas, Okay, so he had an impact, an extreme impact.
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, Johnathan gets Hankins gets hurt, and
Speaker 1: what happens one hundred and ninety two yards on the ground. Okay.
Speaker 1: So if you can't stop the run against Philadelphia, I
Speaker 1: don't care who's that quarterback. Anybody can hand up ball off.
Speaker 1: Anybody can hand the ball off. So yes, yes, the
Speaker 1: secondary definitely needs to be addressed, and that's definitely something
Speaker 1: that we have to scheme up. I think you can
Speaker 1: scheme it up. I think al Harris can ask us
Speaker 1: guys to get up there and be more physical than
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage so that they don't have the
Speaker 1: opportunity to get downfield, or that that timing is at
Speaker 1: least disrupted, which and then then turn gives your defense
Speaker 1: a front time to get in the backfield and get
Speaker 1: to the quarterback regardless of who's throwing the ball, and
Speaker 1: it gives you opportunity to get tip balls because they're
Speaker 1: gonna be more contested because your guys are all over
Speaker 1: them like sticky Rice. Okay, so I think that that's
Speaker 1: an opportunity. But I think that the defense up front,
Speaker 1: if you any team, especially in Philadelphia, if they're allowed
Speaker 1: to sit back If Gardener Missue is a quarterback, he's
Speaker 1: allowed to sit back there and hand the ball off,
Speaker 1: and no matter who he hands it off to, they
Speaker 1: get yardage. You're in a world of trouble. I like
Speaker 1: it in real quick at this And going back to
Speaker 1: your question Kyle about the drop off between Jalen Hurts
Speaker 1: and Garden Missue, Well, guess what, now you don't have
Speaker 1: to even remotely worry about worrying about putting the spy
Speaker 1: on Garden Missue, which now frees up a guy like
Speaker 1: Donovan Wilson to be able to help and run support
Speaker 1: as opposed to dropping down with the sole purpose of
Speaker 1: trying to figure out what direction Jayala Harris is going.
Speaker 1: So now you have that extra guy that you can
Speaker 1: kind of done and run. So that I like that,
Speaker 1: and based off of both of your answers, it actually
Speaker 1: goes to the point that there are multiple parts of
Speaker 1: this defense that have to improve. Because you said secondary,
Speaker 1: you said run defense, I would even be inclined. I
Speaker 1: think I would agree with secondary, maybe a little bit,
Speaker 1: because that's something that needs to be fixed, but I
Speaker 1: would throw the pass rush in there too. From week
Speaker 1: fifteen to week sixteen, this is supposed to be the
Speaker 1: strength of your team. This supposed to be an unstoppable force,
Speaker 1: whether it's Micah or Drance or d Law. And I
Speaker 1: know some of those guys are banged up, and I
Speaker 1: know teams are scheming to go against those guys by
Speaker 1: getting the ball out quick or by running the misdirection.
Speaker 1: That type of stuff. You have to be better at those.
Speaker 1: Set the edge, get around, get home. It's so I
Speaker 1: don't disagree with you, but I disagree with you in
Speaker 1: a sense that a pass rush is only you can
Speaker 1: only take advance of the opportunities that presented to you,
Speaker 1: which is which is if team you Yeah, if teams
Speaker 1: are dropping back right, you're talking about in the five
Speaker 1: step drops, seven step drops or from the gun three
Speaker 1: step drops, five step drops right from the gun, you
Speaker 1: have time to get back there. You have time to
Speaker 1: beat the guys up front. But if you don't have time,
Speaker 1: if you don't have two seconds to get in the backfield,
Speaker 1: you're not You can't get sacks, which puts the pressure
Speaker 1: on which unit the second are. Absolutely unless there's no
Speaker 1: there's no need for a pass rush at all, because
Speaker 1: there's no passes. You know, you don't saying what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So now you're running the ball. If you're if you
Speaker 1: can't stop a team from running the ball, they're simply
Speaker 1: handing it off to anybody. I don't care who's in
Speaker 1: the back A J. Brown, It doesn't matter whoever wants
Speaker 1: to get the ball Sanders and then guess what comes
Speaker 1: off of that play action. It's what works for a privilege. Yeah,
Speaker 1: pass rush is a privilege. So I don't disagree with
Speaker 1: you that that we need to get home. But teams
Speaker 1: have ever since, every since the first Philly, every since
Speaker 1: the first Philadel. Sure they know how to stop this
Speaker 1: pass rushing and if I'm a OC, I'm not letting
Speaker 1: you get back there time. Kind of playing to my
Speaker 1: point though, where when Jacksonville was running the football and
Speaker 1: when teams outside of that or after that Philadelphia game
Speaker 1: have been running the football? Where have they been most
Speaker 1: successful in doing so? Outside the tackles getting to the
Speaker 1: edge misdirection. I think the bigger plays come there. I
Speaker 1: don't think that that's solely where teams are going. I
Speaker 1: think that's where they go. Well, they're not solely going, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, but there were fifty nine yards
Speaker 1: on plays like that out of the one ninety two,
Speaker 1: I don't disagree with you. And then the rest of
Speaker 1: there was like thirty from scrambles, there was some other
Speaker 1: things that kind of makes in between. They think the
Speaker 1: bigger plays come on the outside, so they're highlighted more
Speaker 1: so they stick out more in your mind. But the
Speaker 1: more effective place, right, the ones that beat you down
Speaker 1: are the setups or are their battle rams right down
Speaker 1: the middle. Those are the four yards, right, the ones
Speaker 1: that you okay, whatever, right, the money they hurt it, right,
Speaker 1: So four yards four yards, three yards right, four yards,
Speaker 1: and it just beat you up about five yards, okay,
Speaker 1: and then guess what. Now I'm going to the outside. Now,
Speaker 1: everybody says, focused on the inside. Now I'm gonna beat
Speaker 1: you up on the outside. I'm gonna get to the
Speaker 1: edge pulling guard is pulling tackles, pulling both of them.
Speaker 1: And now I'm have my big chunk play. And then
Speaker 1: guess what, come right back to the middle. Right, I'm
Speaker 1: do the boring, boring, boring, boring, boring. The same thing
Speaker 1: with TP and Zeke. Yeah, right, Zeke gets the boring plays.
Speaker 1: He gets the boring plays, the four yards and the
Speaker 1: cloud it does. Nobody thinks twice about those. Nobody gives
Speaker 1: him credit for those. Right. That's why Skip Pete comes
Speaker 1: walking to the locker room laughing. Talk about how you
Speaker 1: like that, because he's like, this dude beat you up, right,
Speaker 1: and then guess what then, oh crap, the bolt of lightning, right,
Speaker 1: Chauzam comes in and he hits you on the outside.
Speaker 1: Now that's yeah, that's the one that you remember. Everybody
Speaker 1: remembers the TP, the big fifty forty fifty sixty yard run. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but nobody wants to think about Zeke doing Black Adam. Yeah,
Speaker 1: here for getting Black Adam. There's too many comic books
Speaker 1: now they got fired? Did you know that? Too many?
Speaker 1: Did you know Superman got I don't have that conversation,
Speaker 1: So I don't want to have that conversation. How are
Speaker 1: you gonna have an appearance in black because he got fired?
Speaker 1: They don't get parted? Ways, don't get me started in
Speaker 1: part ways. I know, I know what it was. They
Speaker 1: brought him back and then James Gunn has now taken
Speaker 1: over with dc you when James Gunn's version of the
Speaker 1: DCU would not include which sucks. But Cavo had the
Speaker 1: agreement with the previous regiment. Must have found the kryptonite,
Speaker 1: must have found it somewhere. It's in a clause the dude,
Speaker 1: I was a hard note was a touch point for
Speaker 1: you there, Let's not talk about let's talk talk about
Speaker 1: the son of it. But shouts out to Henry, we
Speaker 1: still have the witcher my friend, you always have the Witchery.
Speaker 1: That's my Superman's technically, Chris Reeves is my Superman. What
Speaker 1: do you think about the conversation though? In terms of
Speaker 1: outside running attack and then the inside game because it
Speaker 1: does differ. I agree with Isaiah and the fact that
Speaker 1: the big plays have come on the outside. There's been
Speaker 1: these end a rounds, these misdirections. But you've got to
Speaker 1: get better at setting the edge right. I mean, Dlaw
Speaker 1: has been really good at it all year long. It's
Speaker 1: not a setting of the and and so here here's
Speaker 1: it's not a set of because the edges are getting
Speaker 1: set right, edges and understand people need to understand. Is
Speaker 1: you know you understand this? Who We watch a lot
Speaker 1: of film together. Yeah, but edges get set. If you
Speaker 1: want to just just classify its okay, let's bottle it
Speaker 1: up right, Let's make sure nobody gets outside. Then what
Speaker 1: happens those pulling guards, those pulling tackles, those tight ends
Speaker 1: that are coming around and whand blocks, they're literally just
Speaker 1: kicking out that containment. Yeah, you can contain it all
Speaker 1: day long. Cool, stay out. I'm gonna kick you out right.
Speaker 1: You want to stay on the outside and look at
Speaker 1: everything down the line. I will send a two hundred
Speaker 1: and sixty two or three hundred and thirty pound man
Speaker 1: and he will just help you wash you out to
Speaker 1: that side. And he guess what, we will go inside
Speaker 1: of you and it will get right back outside. So
Speaker 1: the whole containment thing is it's relative. It's yeah, very relative.
Speaker 1: So here's the problem. The problem is right now going
Speaker 1: into week sixteen. Right, you're both correct, But prior to this,
Speaker 1: prior to the Jacksonville jack Wars, the main issue for
Speaker 1: the run defense was setting the edge. We talked about
Speaker 1: this at nauseum. Right. It wasn't that teams were having success,
Speaker 1: and I feel you as far as the setup plays
Speaker 1: up the A and B gaps, and teams would try that,
Speaker 1: but it wouldn't be as effective as they would like
Speaker 1: those effective plays to be, which is why they kept
Speaker 1: protecting the edges. But when you look at this next
Speaker 1: gen stats chart, and I'll turn this around for the
Speaker 1: one shot, this is Travis et N. This is Travis Etn.
Speaker 1: That's pretty good. Do you see this, ladies and gentlemen. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he won everywhere he went up to A gap, he
Speaker 1: went up to B gap, he won outside. The only
Speaker 1: time he lost was the fumble. But that fumble wasn't forced, No,
Speaker 1: just dropped the just drop the football. So if he
Speaker 1: actually successfully takes that hand off, he probably gets a
Speaker 1: gainer on there and there would be no TFLs on
Speaker 1: this chart middle, mid to outside or outside. So to
Speaker 1: to you guys's point this week, the entirety of the
Speaker 1: defensive line needs to make sure it's stepping up. The
Speaker 1: linebackers need to make sure they're selling the edges as well.
Speaker 1: So both of those things are a problem coming out
Speaker 1: of Jacksonville. I don't know that i'd say, because it's
Speaker 1: happened just once out of all of their run defense issues,
Speaker 1: so it's not consistently enough for me to say, oh,
Speaker 1: it's the middle. I still believe Nevill Gallum or Chauncey
Speaker 1: Ghost and OsO Diggi Zul who's having a great day
Speaker 1: a great season. Quentin Bohanna now that he's back, I
Speaker 1: think this is gonna be his third game back, getting
Speaker 1: his legs. I think the interior will be better against
Speaker 1: this team that doesn't have Jalen Hurts to contend with,
Speaker 1: But the linebacker corps is still going to be a
Speaker 1: concern without Lvee. That said, when you say, Kyle very accurately,
Speaker 1: that teams are getting the ball out quickly, quicker, quicker
Speaker 1: quickly to kind of negate your pass rush secondary and
Speaker 1: be it trusting these guys like you saw Trevon Diggs
Speaker 1: pressing guys and you see Duran Bland pressing guys. But
Speaker 1: the lack of trust at CB two has you pulling
Speaker 1: guys back. Well, when you give that guy that kind
Speaker 1: of space, now you're helping that West Coast style where
Speaker 1: it's like drop back two steps by. Okay, Well, get
Speaker 1: these guys up there and challenge your young guys to say, hey, man,
Speaker 1: just be better than this guy. Be better than this guy,
Speaker 1: because you're not being tested secondary wise in that point.
Speaker 1: If you're getting the ball out quick, that means as
Speaker 1: you're having to cover for three or four seconds less
Speaker 1: than you would at any other point in the ball game.
Speaker 1: So if you have young guys like to Ron Bland,
Speaker 1: like Kelvin Joseph out there, and of course we've already
Speaker 1: talked to Dan Quinn this week, he's saying it's an
Speaker 1: open competition. There's going to be pressure on them to
Speaker 1: get the job done, but it shouldn't be as hard
Speaker 1: as some of the other coverages you'll have to run
Speaker 1: as a young dp B. So it's a conversation to
Speaker 1: be had where does the defense need to step up
Speaker 1: when we come back here on Talking Cowboys. Where does
Speaker 1: Philly challenge this defense the most? Though? Because this Philly
Speaker 1: offense has some weapons on the outside, they have some
Speaker 1: weapons on the inside, They have some weapons on the
Speaker 1: front in the locker room. I mean, they've got a
Speaker 1: lot of stuff going on from Philadelphia. Even if Jalen
Speaker 1: Hurts is not available, we'll tell you about how they
Speaker 1: can hurt you when we come back here on Talking Cowboys.

Speaker 1: love DJ Chris Beam in the back, just spinning the tracks,
Speaker 1: Isaiah stand back, Patrick, No c Walker, the unmatched Chris
Speaker 1: Beam in the back of Kyle Yeoman's Gentlemen, we got
Speaker 1: a couple more minutes here, Isaiah. You watch the film
Speaker 1: as much as anybody where does. Philly challenge you the
Speaker 1: most offensively. Misdirection, misdirection the read. Everybody since Philly has
Speaker 1: hurt Dallas or tried to hurt Dallas, hurts Dallas. Misdirection.
Speaker 1: Everybody's attempted it. Everybody doesn't have the personnel, everybody doesn't
Speaker 1: have the scheme because it's too far outside of what
Speaker 1: they typically do. But since Philadelphia in the misdirection and
Speaker 1: what it did to this pass rush, that's where they
Speaker 1: hurt you, and they make you stop your feet. You
Speaker 1: can't come down heel in the ring game, you can't.
Speaker 1: You can't get a pass rush, You can't do containment right.
Speaker 1: All the everything that you would do to combat what
Speaker 1: they do hurt you because it leaves you vulnerable for
Speaker 1: something else. You want to get containment running up inside, right,
Speaker 1: you want to go ahead and god and attack the
Speaker 1: rundown the side. Okay, we'll throw it out to the side, okay,
Speaker 1: or if you guess what you don't want to you
Speaker 1: don't want to put any pressure on us, cool, we'll
Speaker 1: throw it around. We got enough receivers. So they hurt
Speaker 1: you in so many areas. But I think Dallas's biggest
Speaker 1: touch point has been where to hecked you my eyes
Speaker 1: go in the moment I stopped my feet to try
Speaker 1: to figure out what the heck is going on. Now
Speaker 1: my feet are stopped, their feet are still moving. They
Speaker 1: have the leverage no matter where I'm gonna try to attack.
Speaker 1: For me, it's it's similar to that in the aspect
Speaker 1: of misdirection. But the Eagles they love making you second
Speaker 1: guess and then making you second guess. All they need
Speaker 1: is that window of reaction time to get the big
Speaker 1: play or the big gainer. And that's where I feel like,
Speaker 1: going back to the question of you know, what's the
Speaker 1: drop off between Jalen Hurts and Gardner Minshew is what
Speaker 1: will potentially help this this young secondary for the Cowboys
Speaker 1: is the fact that you can play more traditional, straight
Speaker 1: up football against Gardner Minshew because you don't have to
Speaker 1: worry about covering your guy while trying to also keep
Speaker 1: one eye in the backfield just in case Jalen Hurts
Speaker 1: leaks out to try to extend a big play. Now again,
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew, he can get out of that pocket and
Speaker 1: make the play. But that's no longer your primary thought.
Speaker 1: Your primary thought is I'm going to cover this guy.
Speaker 1: I'm going to trust my front seven to get after
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshue, whereas if it was Jalen Hurts back there,
Speaker 1: it's okay, I still trust my front seven, but I
Speaker 1: know that there's a good likelihood that Jalen Hurts, with
Speaker 1: his speed and his strengths, can either just blow off
Speaker 1: the edge or he can escape a sack and then
Speaker 1: come off the edge. So while I'm sitting here trying
Speaker 1: to cover this guy who I'm trying to keep in
Speaker 1: my hip and he's moving all over the place, I'm
Speaker 1: also trying my head. I'm splitting two different directions. That's
Speaker 1: what the Eagles typically can do, and that's why they're
Speaker 1: thirteen and one. But it also answers the question of
Speaker 1: what they may not be able to do if Jalen
Speaker 1: Hurts is not on the field, as we don't expect
Speaker 1: he will be, Dallas can be more aggressive if Jalen
Speaker 1: Hurts isn't there. So the non commit traditional, the non
Speaker 1: committal to going downhill and coming out of the quarterback
Speaker 1: and having to make your reads on all that, if
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts isn't there, you're more opt to be aggressive
Speaker 1: to come downhill, to go out there and attack whoever's
Speaker 1: that quarterback, because all of a sudden, you're not worried
Speaker 1: about him getting outside of your leverage and making you
Speaker 1: pay for the big play. That's facts. So do you
Speaker 1: expect a better game then from the Dallas defense? Do
Speaker 1: you respect a little bit of a rebound, because at
Speaker 1: least from the early indications from what we're hearing on
Speaker 1: the other side of the building is they're not happy
Speaker 1: with the way they played these last two weeks. They
Speaker 1: are not happy at all, nor should they be if
Speaker 1: we're being honest. However, is this the week where you
Speaker 1: see the rebound or are we going to see another
Speaker 1: I was hoping to see the rebound regardless, I thought,
Speaker 1: regardless of who's that quarterback, I would hope that Dallas
Speaker 1: would have a better game against Philly than they've had
Speaker 1: over the past few weeks, or even then when they
Speaker 1: had the first time that they that they've faced the Eagles.
Speaker 1: So my expectation is the same, I guess, but if
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts is not there, I expect them to be
Speaker 1: more dominant than what they would be regardless of which
Speaker 1: quarterback is or was going to take the field. I
Speaker 1: expected to bounce back from the Cowboys, because you you
Speaker 1: have to bounce back from allowing five hundred yards and
Speaker 1: thirty four points. You have to you have to do it. Uh.
Speaker 1: And this is also a Cowboys team that I've said
Speaker 1: it before. They've not lost two consecutive games at all
Speaker 1: this season. Uh, there's only you know all the Eagles
Speaker 1: are one of the only other teams that can make
Speaker 1: that claim. So this is a team that has shown
Speaker 1: it can be resilient, and I believe that it was
Speaker 1: going to happen this game regardless of who the QB was. Now,
Speaker 1: the question is, to to Isaiah's point, what kind of
Speaker 1: a bounce back are we talking about? Are we talking
Speaker 1: about only allowing you know, three hundred yards? Are we
Speaker 1: talking about only allowing two twenty five? Oh, that's dominant. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you see what I'm saying, Like, that's that's what I'm asking.
Speaker 1: I'm asking what kind of what kind of bounce back?
Speaker 1: Is it a solid bounce back where you look at
Speaker 1: them and say, okay, still some question marks, but they rebounded,
Speaker 1: they got some things together. All we're talking about just
Speaker 1: they're so pissed and they go all the way from
Speaker 1: the left side of the field, which is thirty four
Speaker 1: points allowed five hundred plus yards to three to seven.
Speaker 1: I don't hold these guys on under three hundred yards offense, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think this under three hundred would
Speaker 1: be a monument that's with Hurts. Monument with Hurts. I
Speaker 1: don't think you could. But I don't think it's that
Speaker 1: much of a drop off. I really don't. I think it.
Speaker 1: Hurts is a good quarterback, don't get me wrong. Formidable
Speaker 1: versus serviceable, see, but I don't think he's formidable. I
Speaker 1: don't think he's that good. Jaylen. No, and as a
Speaker 1: total pack, I think he's got a built roster around him.
Speaker 1: I think Jaylen Hurts is a good quarterback. You are
Speaker 1: he is not in the elite? Huh. You believe what
Speaker 1: Michael Parker said, Yeah, I agree, I agree. I disagree. Okay, Well,
Speaker 1: but I scouted him coming out of college and I
Speaker 1: felt like that back then too. We can take the individual,
Speaker 1: because I'm saying I don't believe he's elite, but they
Speaker 1: get the individual, formidable form of individual in this system,
Speaker 1: and that's where people get lost. People get so keyed
Speaker 1: in on the on the player and their skills said
Speaker 1: and what they can do as a person and say, Okay,
Speaker 1: this person in any system would not be in. But
Speaker 1: we're not talking about any sense. We're talking about in
Speaker 1: this offense. Yeah, he's a complete problem. And I don't
Speaker 1: think he's a true system quarterback either. I think he
Speaker 1: helps make the system what it is. I think he's
Speaker 1: a good enough player to where he makes a difference.
Speaker 1: But I just don't think the drop off from Jalen
Speaker 1: Hurts to Gardner Minshew is monumental. I don't think it's
Speaker 1: it's a big deal. Big it is. It is a
Speaker 1: big deal. That's what I'm trying to say. I'm not
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to take away what Jalen Hurts has done.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to limit the what's the bigger drop off
Speaker 1: DAC to Cooper Rush or Jalen Hurts de Minsheu Jalen
Speaker 1: Hurst Demenshu. Yeah, I think so too. Yes, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I would. I would yes because of style of play alone.
Speaker 1: If you look at nothing but style of plays fair,
Speaker 1: then it's the bigger Okay, that's fair because it's a
Speaker 1: different style of play completely. Whereas Cooper Rush has spent
Speaker 1: seven years in this organization, he's been around for long
Speaker 1: enough to where the playbook doesn't drop off. You can
Speaker 1: play a similar style as Dak Prescott without the legs.
Speaker 1: I mean, I would agree with that. Here's here's a
Speaker 1: fun question. I'm just I don't think it's as far
Speaker 1: apart as people think, though I don't think it's gargantic,
Speaker 1: but it's still a big I mean, you could used
Speaker 1: to wear a big it's a big drop off. Here's
Speaker 1: a question, just fun. I'm curious about you guys, think
Speaker 1: UM better overall player Jalen Hurts in twenty twenty two
Speaker 1: or prime RG three. I'm bold so Prime RG three
Speaker 1: was this rookie season where he was he was bawling
Speaker 1: the Rookie of the year RG three. I'm the wrong person.
Speaker 1: I'm the wrong person. As ACT three was my favorite player.
Speaker 1: That was my favorite collegiate player of all time. I
Speaker 1: love watching Margie three. Okay, time behind as stand back
Speaker 1: back in the day, I was a Baylor fane. I'm
Speaker 1: not saying he's the best. I'm saying he was my favorite. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's different, different conversation. Reggie Bush was unbelievable. Yeah he
Speaker 1: was up there too, and I didn't even like USC.
Speaker 1: But that's how good Reggie Bush was. Just so you
Speaker 1: guys know, the least amount of yards that Dallas has
Speaker 1: given up all year long has been two hundred and
Speaker 1: thirty nine yards. That was against the Rams. Okay, so
Speaker 1: you're saying this about Tom They're due. Answer? Why are
Speaker 1: you making me answer this question? I want to hear it.
Speaker 1: I'm curious RG three in his rookie season. What about
Speaker 1: you better as a player. I didn't pay that much
Speaker 1: attention to him, And be honest with you, really, yeah,
Speaker 1: actually that was a false statement. Two hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: four yards against the Bengals. I'm sorry. Okay, So they're
Speaker 1: due and still do for a big game. Right before
Speaker 1: we get out of here, guys, I wanted to pass
Speaker 1: along our condolences to the family of the Steelers and
Speaker 1: NFL legend. Franco Harris passed away this morning, known for
Speaker 1: the Immaculate Reception, passed away at seventy two. And it
Speaker 1: was interesting. I was looking yesterday they're the debuting A
Speaker 1: Football Life, the documentary series on the NFL network about
Speaker 1: Franco Harris on Friday, and he passed away this morning,
Speaker 1: and it was it was nearly about the debut and
Speaker 1: he was a legend for many reasons. I know this
Speaker 1: is a Cowboys podcast, but that's an NFL legend. That's
Speaker 1: a football titan, no doubt, absolutely, and some I mean,
Speaker 1: one of the most incredible plays in NFL history was
Speaker 1: because of what he was able to do. If you're
Speaker 1: a fan of football, at a certain point, rivalries getting
Speaker 1: pushed aside for the greatness of players, and Franco Harris
Speaker 1: is one of those guys, no doubt, no doubt. But
Speaker 1: I just wanted to mention that before we get out
Speaker 1: of here, because you know, Steelers Nation, Steelers family out there,
Speaker 1: they're they're hurting a little bit today on that one,
Speaker 1: because I was the entire Harris family, Steelers organization, and
Speaker 1: just everyone, whether you had the plays, you were being
Speaker 1: in Franko's presence or not, you knew what kind of
Speaker 1: a human being he was, even outside of a football player,
Speaker 1: and as a football player, he was a titan. So
Speaker 1: no doubt. All right, let's move on to tomorrow. We're
Speaker 1: gonna preview the Cowboys offense versus the Philly defense. What
Speaker 1: kind of rebound can the Cowboys with Dak Prescott and
Speaker 1: company have in that matchup? We'll talk about it tomorrow.
Speaker 1: We do not have a show on Friday, so no
Speaker 1: shows Friday, so we're gonna do our pick ms tomorrow
Speaker 1: as well to get the job done. I'm sorry, Isaiah,
