Damn you fired up, Josh, Say it with your chest.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
Kyle, I'm saying it with my chest.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
I know what the frustration has been with this football
team over the first three weeks of the season. You
are a sixty four yard field goal from Brandon Aubrey
away from being zero to three.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
But I couldn't care less. These type of games get
you fired up.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
This type of atmosphere that we're gonna see and experience
on Sunday night football should get Cowboys fans riled up.
You've got someone that's coming in looking to snatch your
your five hundred record, your lunch, your chain, whatever you
want to say. They're trying to take away your happiness
on Sunday.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
Don't let them do that.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
I hope ay D and T Stadium is an absolute
madhouse on Sunday.
Speaker 6 (02:04):
My Grandmama, give me that change. He's not taking it, dude,
that's ours the car.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Don't go crime the car. Lay it all on the field,
just lay just lay it out there.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
And I'm so pumped to be there too.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
It's the first time the pregame and postgame is gonna
be on site at the stadium this week, so we'll
be in the building, we're gonna be down on the field.
We're gonna have a great pregame show, and it's gonna
be wild. I know the Penn State white Out is
on Saturday. In college football. There's gonna be a lot
of great college football this week too, right, there will be.
Speaker 6 (02:35):
However, I'm not looking forward to as far as the
game goes. You guys are gonna be there. You're gonna
be at at and T Stadium with us. I gotta
sick next to Kyle at.
Speaker 7 (02:43):
The press box. But to finish the thought, he's gonna
rip his pants again.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
And that's happened once before, snap ones during during the pregame.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Now I know.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
After that day, now I do, uh, but no, to
finish the thought, I know the atmosphere for the white
out I Penn State, it's going to be crazy on Saturday.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
I hope the atmosphere is just as loud at at
and T Stadium.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Yeah, I hope they just go crazy, just go crazy.
Speaker 7 (03:10):
I don't want to see any green in the stands, man, I.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
Don't want you.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
You're going to see it now, I don't.
Speaker 7 (03:15):
Want to see it, is what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
Or yellow cheese gross?
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Yellow?
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Yeah, that cheese gross.
Speaker 8 (03:23):
I'm good on cheese heads, Yeah, I'm good without it.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Is that your least favorite fan in the NFL, like
a cheese, said, I.
Speaker 8 (03:32):
Don't know if I'm probably not ranking of worst fans.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Oh I do, Philadelphia.
Speaker 8 (03:39):
I could make you, but no, I just I like
eating cheese.
Speaker 9 (03:44):
I don't like seeing it on people's heads. Okay, that's
just off pudding. Yeah, it is off putting.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
Glad to have you back here, Tommy.
Speaker 8 (03:52):
I'm glad to be back there.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
In a minute.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Isaiah out today, he's doing Good morning football out there
on the West coast and called jv in yeap, be
sure to call.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Uh where's arch Archier?
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Oh no, we're throwing shots across the Texas.
Speaker 9 (04:09):
Look, family, we're doing We're doing one to know this
week the bye has no chances.
Speaker 7 (04:16):
Were brothers. We're happy and we're singing.
Speaker 10 (04:18):
There you go.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
All right, let's get into some news and notes here, Patrick,
no C.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Walker and what's the rest of it? All right, yes, sir,
News and notes. So we got the Thursday's injury report
from the Cowboys, and as expected, Tyler Booker, neither Tyler
Booker nor CD Lamb participated in practice on Thursday. Again,
they are expected to be out at minimum this week.
Ceedee Lamb might be a couple of weeks. Tyler Booker
(04:44):
is going to be a good bit longer. I expect
that he'll be moving to ir at some point this week.
There is some great news though. Dran Bland was upgraded
from limited to a full participant in yesterday's practice, so
Deran Bland continues to be on track to return for
the Cup.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
I like that.
Speaker 5 (05:07):
I like that.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
Say more words like that. I shall oh.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Trevon Diggs was also upgraded too full participant from participate
the day before.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
I know there are a lot of people rolling their
eyes that were clapping at that, but you need bodies
there and.
Speaker 7 (05:20):
You simply haven't seen those two on the field time period.
Come on.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
That combo pack is rarely seen together. So hopefully, hopefully.
Speaker 7 (05:30):
Are they one and the same. Has he been doing
a Batman Bruce Wayne situation.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Because you've never seen them in the same place at
the same time, I wonder. So, yeah, you have your
two starting all Pro cornerbacks who are expected to take
the field against the Green Bay Packers. That is fantastic
news because you're in love and that offense, as we
talked about this week, can rack up numbers if you
allow them to. Now, of course, it starts with getting
(05:57):
after him in the past rush. But it's certainly hopes
that you will have your two ap pro corners back
there to try to do.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
What they can try to stop the bleeding as it were,
As it were, how much does that change your confidence
level just having those two guys if it went, give
me a pre digs slash bland rating one through ten
and give me a post I.
Speaker 6 (06:19):
Mean, just use the eye tests. You saw them both
out there, right, yes, for Philly. Wait a second, so
rarely out there at the same time. Yeah, but using
the eye test, you did not let Philly's receivers beat you.
Granted you let the team beat you, but regardless, the
receivers did not kill you in Philly. The second tourn
(06:40):
blands out, you are not looking very good. But Ryan
on kyer elam and granted you're just not able to
solidify that slot corner position, which he will be playing
slot corner Tommy, I just want to clarify.
Speaker 9 (06:55):
Yeah, it'll be him on the slot digs and on
the outside. Yeah, thank you, thank you for that.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
I appreciate that.
Speaker 8 (07:00):
All right.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
Anyways, to say what.
Speaker 6 (07:04):
I test, you have to feel a little more confident
just based on this year alone. We got three sample sizes.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
And that is one Duran Bland back on the field
makes me feel more confident. But if we're talking about
some personnel changes, Shaddy, we're talking about some personnel changes,
I'm starting my boundary. Starting corners are Dron Bland and
Trevon Diggs, and I keep Ready Steward in the nickel.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Here.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Here's why I would, Here's why I would. We we
had we can't agree that Ready Stewart looked really good
in run defense. We want him to look better in coverage. Yes, agreed,
I would say good.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
I don't know if I'm gonna say really good. He
took a really bad angle outside run. It was good.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
It was better than expected.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
He wraps up sure better than he wants to be physical.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
So the question that you have to ask yourself is,
with the way kaw your elam is struggling, are you
more comfortable with your struggles on the outside? Are you
more comfortable with your struggles in the nickel? I personally
am more comfortable with struggles and I so you're making.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
A considerable decision to bench Kayer Elum this week.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
I would say with the chess, I'm going to say,
with how your elam is struggling. So just like we
had the Jack Sambourne conversation, Jack Sanborn is struggling, struggling.
He's not giving you what MERETI if I could give you.
And if you're talking about personnel changes, and you want
to make changes to make the team better, especially on
the defensive side of the ball, where you struggled so mightily,
(08:36):
I would put my two war pro corners on the boundaries,
especially against a Green Bay offense that can take you downfield.
And I would look at Ready Steward and I'd say, hey,
now's the time to kind of step up with the
with the coverage. I mean, he has the physicality, he
has the run defense. So yeah, that's the thing is
I think that I'm more concerned with kyer struggles boundary
(09:00):
than i am with ready struggles in the nickel. And
that's why I would make that decision.
Speaker 8 (09:05):
I see where you're coming from, and it's I understand why.
Speaker 9 (09:09):
I just think that when you look back at that
Philly game, you know, granted, the Vegles didn't really need
to throw the ball a lot. I mean they were
running the ball so well, and they were getting out
with the quarterback run game that they didn't need.
Speaker 8 (09:19):
To throw the ball a whole lot. It's Jalen Hurts.
I think Kyrie.
Speaker 9 (09:24):
Elam struggles this year have really been more of the
fact that the Cowboys don't have a pass rush. They
just can't get to the quarterback and really the whole secondary.
I mean, that's that's where everything starts. If you can't
get after quarterbacks in the NFL and they've got all
day to throw, they're gonna make you pay.
Speaker 8 (09:37):
It doesn't matter who you have back there. Trayvon Diggs,
Drell Reeves, it doesn't matter. Well, maybe Durell Rieves is
a different story.
Speaker 9 (09:43):
But if they get all the time in the world
and your offensive linemen have to are holding up for
three four five seconds, eventually someone's gonna pop open. It
doesn't matter who you're playing at corner. So I think
that that's really where the struggles have come from. Now,
I'm not saying Kyrie Elam has played really well or anything.
Speaker 8 (09:59):
I think he's had his.
Speaker 9 (09:59):
Fair share of struggles, But the fact that the Cowboys
can't get to the quarterback and can't bring him down
is what's holding them back.
Speaker 8 (10:07):
So that's really more of what I think they need.
Speaker 9 (10:09):
So I'm fine with Elim on the outside because you know,
I think when you look at the list of outside
corners that you've got right now, it's him and digs
are you are your two best ones. And again, I'm
by no means saying that, you know, Kyrie Elm has
at a great season and he's gonna be a Pro
Bowl or anything like that, but from what we saw
in training camp, he clearly has.
Speaker 8 (10:28):
The ability to cover well when you get.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
Out of the quarterback.
Speaker 8 (10:32):
And you know, I think it's too early to be like,
all right, let's sion.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
I'm saying he's slumping, so right, No, no, no, I
still want to absolutely he's slumping and you're staring one
in three in the face. Yeah, And so at this point,
as a head coach, you have to say, Okay, I
know you need time to get out of the slump,
but right now, we don't have a moment for you
to get out of the slump. Let's get to two
and two and then let's revisit and figure this thing
out from there.
Speaker 6 (10:57):
Well, I don't know that I necessarily have the confidence
that that will happen, because you know, yesterday listening to
coordinator or I guess that was Wednesday, right, Listening to
coordinators talk about uh Evira Flus for instance, bringing up
Jack Sanborn and saying that he's had two really good,
solid games.
Speaker 7 (11:13):
That to me was alarming in many respects.
Speaker 8 (11:16):
But well, he did say run defense.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
He did specify run defense.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
And the other thing is a lot of times, if
they're going to be coaches that are in these press conferences,
they're not going to throw their guys under them. Of course,
they're not going to sit here and say It's like
the whole conversation with the Jerry Jones saying this is
a playoff team and everybody up in arms because he said, yes,
this is a playoff team after they just got embarrassed
by the Bears.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
What else is he gonna say?
Speaker 11 (11:44):
What else?
Speaker 4 (11:44):
What's his other answer in that regard? What is that guy?
I mean, that's a whole different conversation.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
But is he gonna say, nah, we're not a playoff team.
It's Week three, but you know what, I've already given
up on the season.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
Yeah, you can answer that question.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
It's the same thing with whatever coaches talk about these players,
they're always gonna say, oh, they're doing this well, that
holds more weight when he said he's been good in
run defense as opposed to saying good in general. That
holds more weight, because that's saying I'm gonna special excuse specify, specify,
I speak for a living what he is doing well,
(12:18):
because there are other things on this roster, other guys
on this roster, other things and his game specifically that
he's not doing.
Speaker 6 (12:24):
Was that alarming to you at all for him to
kind of coach speak that phrase when talking about a
guy like Sanborn and not necessarily offering up a lot
of criticism towards towards.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Him, Because no, because I know what he's saying to
the media and coach Eberfluss, a former head coach, versus
what he's saying behind closed doors is completely different.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
Yeah, completely different.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
And honestly, I think this Schottenheimers staff as a whole,
they do a great job of building a wall. The
way that they talk in the media and the way
that they talk in these press conferences. I'd like to
hear Tommy and his thoughts on this. They are very
positive and optimistic consistently, whereas at times McCarthy and his
staff would give kind of the real one way or
(13:06):
the other. They build a wall between their players and
the media. And it's not a bad thing if you
want to try and go win football games and build
trust on something that you're trying to build culture on
your side of the building.
Speaker 8 (13:16):
Yeah, no, absolutely right.
Speaker 9 (13:17):
And I think Brian Schottenheimer has really done a great
job of consistently finding ways to make the really bad positive.
And you know, any football coach is going to say
that this team is not playing well through three games. Yeah,
and Brian Schottenheimer's even he said it to you. And
I think Brian schottenheimmer does for the most part, keep
(13:39):
things pretty real and you know, when things are not
going well, he'll tell you why. And I've always appreciated
how deep in detail he goes on everything because a
lot of folks just don't understand, myself included, there are
some things that I don't understand, and him explaining it
is incredible perspective. But yeah, this is a guy who
who's not going to change who he is. He's always
going to be upbeat and he's looking for the next
(14:00):
task at hand and how they can get better. But
you're right, Kyle, they do a really good job of
building the wall and they know what's what they need
to fix. Yeah, they know what they need to fix.
Now it's just a matter of, Okay, do they have
the horses to fix it?
Speaker 4 (14:13):
And that's that's that's really.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
The big I think they do have the horses to
fix it. I think it's I think you just have
to pull the trigger on some of these things.
Speaker 10 (14:21):
Right.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
We talked about when we're talking about Shoddy saying he
could see he could make some personnel changes. We were
wondering here at this very panel, are we talking about
more one Ya Thomas and Marquise bell On they back okay,
because Malie Hooker and Donovan Wilson, they're struggling in the
roles they're being asked to do right now. Same goes
for Jack Samborn. We would like to see more maris
Lea File Kyrie Elam. We know that he's capable. We
(14:43):
saw what he was doing in training camp. He was
one of the training camp stars, right, but he's slumping
right now? Are you willing to make those types of changes?
These are his right James Houston put him up. Because
Sam Williams is struggling. Dante Fowler, he's in a slump.
This is not to say that any of the guys
that we're saying pull back are incapable, because they're absolutely capable.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
Yeah, but in the.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Moment, again you're staring down the barrel of one in three.
You've got to shake some things up.
Speaker 6 (15:06):
And Sean Himer has been saying you need all fifty
three guys to what I mean, you need every single
one of them if you're not giving them that opportunity
and you're willing to stagnate your defense and your offense
by using the same situations, and that the players that
are putting in those situations, that's the definition of insanity.
Speaker 7 (15:22):
You have fifty three guys, use them.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
So would you make that switch that we we that
Patrick proposed earlier in the segment.
Speaker 7 (15:29):
I don't know that I'm necessarily ready for that.
Speaker 6 (15:31):
I more so I'm leaning towards Tommy's observation that you
need the pass rush to get there.
Speaker 7 (15:37):
You need that, you need that pressure. I mean, it's
a chicken or the eggs.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
You want to be true it all gets out, because
eventually it will get out. Exactly, You're not going to
sack Joy and Love will pressure him on every single
drop back. So when that ball does get out. The
question is are you comfortable with the current set or
should you? Should you just go back to more of
a traditional with your two all pros on the boundary.
Speaker 6 (16:00):
But I'm not comfortable where the defense is at now,
and I'll say that plainly, and we've talked about it
so many times. I'm bringing up Jack Sanborn on my
end is part of that hesitation that I need to
see a little bit more from that unit because I
think they are letting things slip by. They don't have
the athletic ability there to contain.
Speaker 7 (16:21):
Quarterbacks that are dual threat. We've seen it against the Eagles.
Speaker 6 (16:25):
You sought against Caleb Williams, and now you have Jordan
Love who is a dual threat quarterback. What they did
against the Commanders is exactly what you need to be doing.
They had two very athletic linebackers in Quay Walker and
Edrin Cooper that were able to contain at the second
level and not let him get passed. That's where I'm at.
(16:45):
You have those guys, you have a Demne Clark, you
have a May Slifau. Why aren't they spy not spying,
but containing a quarterback of that caliber?
Speaker 1 (16:52):
And we have an early contestants for Coming of the day.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
Oh do we I have not?
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Well, we'll address that and then I've all also got
a stat that's going to back up what Josh just said.
On the other side of the break, I have to
break up and it's Kwise stat of the week. Can
you save maybe one minute on the other side of
the break, and then we'll have Patrick break out of
here when we come back with more talking cowboys after this.
Speaker 5 (17:16):

I got a big one this week.
Speaker 8 (21:24):
I got Nick even yeah, I gets a Notre Dame.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Then a big one this week, North Texas taken on
South Alabama. The fighting Jalen Tolbert's at home. They are
four and oh they are receiving votes for the first
time since twenty eighteen.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
I'll be in the building.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
They actually gave this hat away as like a ticket
package this week, and I got mine a little bit early,
just so I could wear it on the show.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
Go Mean Green, Get It Done Again in South Alabama,
jags Uh.
Speaker 6 (21:46):
The Artistitute of Dallas, among eight times, is permanently closed
as of September twenty six, twenty twenty three. Okay, prupatly
announced the closure of all campuses across the United States,
including one in North Texas.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
Undefeated. Undefeated, So now you got to pick new team
entirely right.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
The rock went there, So okay, smells from all right
college football men.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
Carson becks, Hey, they're really good coming to Dallas.
Speaker 8 (22:15):
It might be the best team in the country.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
Yeah, they really might be.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
All right, Patrick got a breakout.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
It's a lot, buddy, you have which that was really
that was.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Pow you have segment and uh yeah, all I can
say is before we even go dogs, dogs, no, no, no, Cowboys,
I need you to prove me wrong.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
We do have a addiction.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
It is in the building Patrick, no cy Walker piecing out.
I want to say it with Chest Friday. All right,
as we get into this segment, This is our X
Factor segment where we make some bold predictions and talk
about who is going to make the biggest impact on
the field Sunday night.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
Josh Tredmas, Oh.
Speaker 7 (22:54):
My goodness, yet again.
Speaker 10 (22:56):
I know.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
You're close, but no, cigar, I don't want to cheer.
Speaker 6 (23:00):
Who's my last two X factors even though I think
those will be your EX factors this week.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
Uh, you can choose him again if you want. You've
chosen Javonte Williams. Yes, And then who was it last week?
Speaker 7 (23:11):
Jake Fergus?
Speaker 4 (23:11):
It was ferg wasn't it. I know he was an
X factor.
Speaker 7 (23:14):
He was an X factor. Granted, gave you fifty yards.
Speaker 6 (23:17):
But I think they're both gonna be huge for you
this week too, and I don't want to split the two.
So let me just go Javonte Williams. I think you
need to use him as your bellcow. You need to
give him at least twenty carries, okay, because I need
to see over one hundred yards for Javonte Williams and
give me I don't know two toudies.
Speaker 4 (23:34):
Out of twenty carries and two toudies. Yeah wow, Yeah,
be a pretty good game. It's double the carries. And
I mean my main thing is we'd be cool with that.
Speaker 7 (23:43):
You need to control the clock, you need to hold
on the ball longer than the Packers.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
And also, not to mention, the Packers have struggled in
terms of run defense more than they have in the past.
Speaker 6 (23:54):
And attack that interior defensive line get out because they
don't have Kenny Clark.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
No, mo, no, they don't.
Speaker 9 (23:59):
Which you got Tommy offensive X factor Terrence Steele. I
think that if I'm Green Bay, I'm sending all my
rushers to that to the right side of the Cowboys
offensive line. He has really struggled in pass protection. And
you know, if they line up Michael Parsons over there,
he might have a field day. I mean, I have
a feeling he's you going.
Speaker 8 (24:16):
To have a field day either way.
Speaker 9 (24:17):
Problem, But he's he's he's kind of good at this
whole football thing. And you know, with Terrence Steele, I
think in the run game he's played pretty well this year.
And Clayton Adams said it yesterday too. He thinks that
his tackles have been better in the run that they've
been than they've been in pass protection. But if they
load up on that right side with him and TJ. Bass,
you know, if you line up Michael Parsons over there
(24:37):
and Shawn Gary, if you've interchange the two of them
and you just bring so much pressure off that right side,
I think it could be a long day for Dak Prescott.
Speaker 4 (24:47):
That's a big one.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
I'm gonna stick with what the conversation was earlier in
the show.
Speaker 4 (24:54):
Kyrie Elam's got to be the X factor man this week.
He has to be.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
You need him to be because if Durron Bland's back,
that shures up the inside, and that shures up that
nickel position.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
If he bounces outside one way or the other, I
think it's.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
Going to because be because of injury, not because of
any need or switch or binching of a guy, whether
it's Digs or Elam. But I was looking at this
stat and it plays into my stat of the week.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
This is this is not great. Let's just preface it
with this. This is not fun.
Speaker 7 (25:23):
To prepare yourselves.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Yeah, Cowboys defense allowed four hundred and fifteen yards five
touchdowns against deep passes. This season, which is the most
deep yards any defense is allowed through the first three
weeks of a season in the next Gen Stats era,
which goes back to twenty sixteen. So not only are
they the worst in terms of defending the deep pass
this year, they're the worst in nearly a decade at least,
(25:48):
and it could go further back than that.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
Additionally to that, that's not all. Just wait, there's more.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
Please know, Yeah, I know, kyri Elam acquired via trade
and March. Of course, the Cowboys corner has allowed two
hundred and fifty seven yards in coverage the season, most
in the NFL. We said that's that earlier in the week,
but Jordan Love has thrown four one thousand, eight hundred
and eighty four yards on deep passes since taking over.
Is the Packers full time starter in twenty twenty three.
(26:17):
Would you like to take a guess where that ranks
in the league on deep passes.
Speaker 7 (26:23):
Let's say number two.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
It's number one, so it's not a great matchup.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
So you need somebody to step up in that regard,
and that's where I'm looking at kyri Elum.
Speaker 9 (26:33):
And I'll add to this, you know, with if kyer
Elam wants to have a big game. He's gonna need
some help from the guys up front and.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
The passage breach.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
You know, it's not all on him, but he's if
the pass rusher is going to be non existent again, Yeah,
he's got to beat.
Speaker 9 (26:46):
He's got a early per he's got to cover. But
I'll say this to add to your stat about Jordan Love.
If you want to beat the Packers, you got to
get him uncomfortable. You've got to get pressure in his face.
You've got to force him into some bad decisions. In
the last two years, he's throwing two twenty two interceptions
eleven each year he has won. This year, it kind
of cost him late in the game against the Browns
last week. Grant Delpa did a really nice job of
(27:07):
kind of waiting and waiting and waiting, reading Glove's eyes
and stepping up and getting in front of the receiver
before he ran his slant. When Jordan Loves under pressure,
his completion percentage is just forty seven point eight percent
when he's been a full time starter, and he's been
stripsacked five times, So you got to be active, get
after the ball, and they're negative four in the turnover
(27:27):
margin that's second worst in the league. They've got to
force some turnovers this game and give their offense as
many possessions as they can if they want any chance
of winning it.
Speaker 7 (27:35):
Yeah, defensive c factor, that's what we're doing right.
Speaker 4 (27:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (27:39):
Well, there's one guy that you haven't seen on this
defense yet.
Speaker 6 (27:43):
And as far as I'm concerned, and Tommy brought it
up earlier, you're talking about pass rush needing to be there,
you haven't seen it yet. In terms of this football
team this season, there's a certain guy out there, brand new.
Speaker 7 (27:56):
He should have played last week.
Speaker 6 (27:57):
He's oh this week, give me Jadavian clown nice because
if anything, if you're going to affect Jordan Love, you
need him to get him off his spot. You need
to force him out of the pocket and put him
in uncomfortable situations, throwing off his back foot, put just
creating pressure. I'm not saying sex. I'm saying pressures. For
(28:17):
the love of God, I need Jordan Love to be
hearing that faint Paul Phil Collins music.
Speaker 7 (28:23):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 6 (28:29):
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, and
I can feel it on that field Sunday night when
Jadavin Clowney is gonna absolutely close line me into the ground,
and I need to get this ball away before.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
He does that. I can't no notes.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
Honestly, I was gonna ask, like, what would a successful
appearance for Clowney look like?
Speaker 4 (28:50):
And you just told me.
Speaker 6 (28:53):
Quarterback, I'm fine with it, dude. Just make him uncomfortable,
makes man. Yeah, Uh, give me at least five or
six pressures on Jordan's big day. That's all I need.
I don't need a sound strong. It may can'st uncomfortable. Yeah,
even that breathe on his neck a little bit, you
(29:14):
know what I'm saying, Just like, look I get away
from me.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Dude.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
It may be a little over zealous to say five
or six pressures, but a realistic three or four I
think I'd be all right with because that's more than
what you're getting individually from most of the guys that
have been in that spot and in that rotation initially.
Speaker 6 (29:29):
And if it creates more pressure for other guys too,
If just Davin Clowney's flushing him out to the right side,
come on, dude.
Speaker 7 (29:35):
Let's go.
Speaker 4 (29:36):
Have we talked about forty two on this show yet?
Speaker 5 (29:39):
Oh? Yeah.
Speaker 7 (29:40):
The fact that he's wearing forty two and you got.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
BC that's oh not even Bury Church. But that's uh,
we've got something for Sunday with that, by the way,
on the pregame show. It's gonna be fun the uh
tune in a Dallas Cowboys dot Com.
Speaker 4 (29:52):
I hate that number on him, really, He's always just
been a single digit guy to me.
Speaker 7 (29:57):
But what number is he gonna He can't have one?
Speaker 3 (29:59):
Yeah, I know he can't that one. You can't give him, mate, Yeah,
that's the one that's open right now.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
You can't give him. Now why he picked it?
Speaker 10 (30:05):
Right?
Speaker 4 (30:05):
Why is that Jackie right? Jackie Robinson? Okay, that's cool.
And then he said when he makes a sack.
Speaker 12 (30:10):
He's gonna do the the Jackie Robinson baseball hit.
Speaker 6 (30:15):
He's already counting sacks on like that. I don't like that, man,
Just work, just worry about pressures.
Speaker 4 (30:18):
But that's pretty cool though. That's cool. Yeah, that's okay,
that's pretty sweet. That's a bear trap right there, buddy, No,
it's not.
Speaker 8 (30:24):
I didn't.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
Forty two is an ugly number on an edge rusher period.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
It looked fine on me like an as rusher, though
I look fine on Barry Church as the safety as
an edge rusher. It looks bad, but that's a cool reason,
So I guess it's fine. All right, let's take our
let's take our final break. When we come back, it's
time for our pick Hims. Actually, before we go to break,
Patrick wanted me to tell you that his X factor
is Cavante Turpin this week.
Speaker 7 (30:47):
No, he said Turpy Turpy Speeds.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
That's exactly what he's actually, Yeah, verbat him and I
can't wait to get the text message.
Speaker 4 (30:54):

you came up with a really great nickname mine suck.
I've got really just trying to get on your level
in uh looks and in nicknames.
Speaker 4 (31:05):

get on your fashion love fashion level.
Speaker 4 (31:11):

Speaker 4 (34:35):
Oh sorry, but here's the fun track. Guys. What I

Speaker 12 (34:42):
The uh to see what chap GPT thought about the
standings or the games.
Speaker 4 (34:48):
Chap GPT went six and oh last week, so let
me tell you about that.
Speaker 7 (34:51):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 4 (34:52):
So I'm gonna do it again this week. So now
we're playing a AI. We went six, got a play
against how about that? And hey guy a I went
to no less just letting you know that maybe the
scores and everything.
Speaker 8 (35:10):
What is the world coming to?
Speaker 7 (35:11):
So it's us versus sky Net exactly?
Speaker 4 (35:14):
What's that?
Speaker 3 (35:15):
What's that that movie where it's uh, not Transformers, but
like like you know, like you're taking on the AI,
you're taking on robots Terminator.
Speaker 4 (35:24):
No, that's a good one though. That's kind that would
that would make it work? Yeah, I'm not. That's not
when I was reference saying, just like war versus whatever,
like robots.
Speaker 7 (35:34):
Yeah, got fun.
Speaker 8 (35:36):
That was the worst description of a movie I think
I have ever heard of.
Speaker 4 (35:40):
Wonder they're fighting robots barrels in it.
Speaker 8 (35:43):
That's like eight hundred different movies.
Speaker 4 (35:46):
I know, I can't describe it. It's it's right there,
but it's not. At the same time.
Speaker 7 (35:51):
You talking about movies is like me talking about baseball.
I have no we're talking about.
Speaker 4 (35:56):
I don't want to talk about baseball either. I'm sad
about sorry body. Yeah, all right, check it on jack
Chat GPT this week. I love it. All right.
Speaker 3 (36:08):
It is time for our pickham segment. Our pick them
guest picker this week is no other than Nebby Knows Ball.
Nebbe from over Spring, Maryland is on the line.
Speaker 4 (36:19):
What's going on? Nebby?
Speaker 10 (36:21):
Hey, Hi guys, thank you so much for allowing me
to be the fan representative today. I really appreciate it
and I'm really looking forward to this. So let's go.
Speaker 4 (36:46):
Let's do this, Let's do it. I appreciate you, Nebby
and always calling in.
Speaker 3 (36:51):
We're gonna start things off with that game out in Dublin, Ireland.
It is the Vikings and the Steelers. Vikings playing quite
well with a backup quarterback. And that's why every time
I say backup, I put it in quotations. Tommy, I'll
let you start on this one.
Speaker 7 (37:07):
Is he really the backup?
Speaker 4 (37:08):
Is he really the backup?
Speaker 13 (37:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (37:10):
You know, Kevin O'Connell does such a good job with quarterbacks.
Carson Wentz is playing really well, but really, the Vikings
defense is what does it for me?
Speaker 8 (37:16):
In this game? I'm picking Minnesota. You know, the Steelers.
Aaron Rodgers is eight hundred years old, and I think that.
Speaker 9 (37:22):
If he gets pressure in his face, he's not going
to be able to do too much with it. So
give me the Vikings.
Speaker 4 (37:26):
He's probably going to be sore from the flight over still,
you know, getting over.
Speaker 8 (37:29):
To walk into the stadium, waking up in the morning period.
Speaker 6 (37:33):
You'll fit right in Europe with Josh. I'm going with
the Vikings on this one. I just think Kevin O'Connell
is the better I don't want to see the better card.
I think he's going to have his team better prepared
to go against the Steelers.
Speaker 3 (37:44):
I don't think I could go against them after what
they did last week. Give me the Vikings to win
this game, nebbe what you got.
Speaker 10 (37:51):
Yeah, well, I believe it or not, I am going
to go against the here. I'm going to respectfully disagree
with you all. I'm picking the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Speaker 3 (38:07):
I like it, and you're not alone. Patrick also picked
the Steelers this week. I don't have Isaiah's pick. We'll
fill that in on the back end, all right, Moving
on Eagles, at Buccaneers.
Speaker 4 (38:18):
This is an interesting game.
Speaker 3 (38:20):
Two teams that survived last week and remain undefeated on
the season. The Buccaneers one of three teams in the
NFL that have not had a turnover to this point
in the season.
Speaker 4 (38:30):
Josh, I'll let you start.
Speaker 7 (38:32):
I love Baker Mayfield, I truly do. He always does
the opposite.
Speaker 4 (38:36):
Of what real hot. Right now, He's so hot, man,
right now.
Speaker 6 (38:39):
I'm gonna go with the opposite of Baker Mayfield because
he's just going to do the opposite of what I'm
going to do.
Speaker 7 (38:45):
So the other team, not the Buccaneers.
Speaker 10 (38:52):
Well, Philly is obviously one of the best teams in football.
In fact, these are obviously two of the best teams
in football. But uh uh, the Eagles are the reigning chymps.
Speaker 11 (39:09):
Uh uh.
Speaker 10 (39:11):
They've been finding ways to win. Uh. It hurts me
to do this, but I'm going with the Philadelphia Eagle. Eagles,
I am not.
Speaker 4 (39:22):
I'm going with the Buccaneers. Give me Tampa Bay to
get it done at home, the fighting Banks, the Bakers.
Speaker 8 (39:27):
This is this has really been. This is gonna be
a really good game.
Speaker 9 (39:30):
First of all, Eagles have really struggled offensively and it's
kind of weird to watch because they have not gotten,
we have not find found a way to get their
receivers involved in the passing game. And Saquon Barkley is
not off to as good as a start as he
was last year. Granted it's hard to replicate that. So
I'm gonna take the bucks here in an upset. I
(39:51):
think a lot of people are favoring the Eagles and
what they're doing offensively. They're just finding ways to win.
They have found ways to win the last three weeks
and it's been close really for both teams. They've both
found ways to win. And I think Tampa Bay gets
it done again.
Speaker 3 (40:05):
You know who hasn't struggled offensively, Indiana Jones and the.
Speaker 4 (40:10):
Lot of Indianapolis Colts about that, it's looking like.
Speaker 3 (40:13):
A contender in the AFC all of a sudden, by
the way, Patrick picked the Buccaneers, but Colts and Rams
Colts at three and oh, one of those other two
teams along with Tampa Bay that has not committed a turnover,
and that's with Danny Dimes at quarterback.
Speaker 4 (40:28):
And he actually is Danny Dimes.
Speaker 7 (40:30):
He's doing his thing.
Speaker 4 (40:31):
Sandiana Jones. Now it's different nickname.
Speaker 3 (40:33):
Yeah, I'm going to take the Rams though in that streak,
I think the Rams are the better team.
Speaker 4 (40:37):
I think they're deeper, and I think they've.
Speaker 3 (40:39):
Got of course, Sean McVay, who does not want to
fall the two and two Tommy.
Speaker 8 (40:43):
Yeah, I'm going to keep it rolling with the Colts.
Speaker 9 (40:46):
You know, I think it's kind of misleading about them
is the first three teams they've played, Miami and Tennessee
being two of them, so you know they've got they've
got it rolling early on, and Jonathan Taylor is playing really,
really well.
Speaker 8 (40:57):
But I think what tells it to me.
Speaker 9 (40:59):
Is that Denver game where they were able to go
on the road or excuse me, they're able to beat
them at home. And that's a tough Denver defense. And
Danny Dimes has been Danny Picks at times in some
points in his career, and I think Denver's got the
best secondary in the league. So if they can protect
Daniel Jones and kind of can Jared Verse a little bit,
I think the Colts can win this game.
Speaker 7 (41:19):
That name, Jared Verse, I think he's mad. I think
he's real mad.
Speaker 6 (41:23):
He got his chain taking his grandma would give me
that change Anyways, I'm going with the Rams, nebbe, I am.
Speaker 10 (41:34):
Also going with the Los Angeles Rams.
Speaker 4 (41:38):
Patrick's going with the Rams too.
Speaker 3 (41:40):
He also has the Raiders in this next matchup, taking
on the Chicago Bears. Both teams at one and two. However,
both teams kind of resurgent in their win recently. Tommy,
I'll let you start.
Speaker 8 (41:54):
Yeah, it's an interesting game.
Speaker 9 (41:55):
It's two offenses that have kind of kind of found
their footing, but defensively there's a lot of question marks.
I think Chicago's gotten more of the horses on defense
than Los Angeles.
Speaker 8 (42:05):
So I'm gonna go with the Bears here, give me.
Speaker 4 (42:06):
The Raiders here to win it at home. Yeah, yeah,
the Raiders. They are not helping Ashton Genty out really
at all.
Speaker 9 (42:14):
Well, poor guy, he had zero point five yards before
before contact.
Speaker 8 (42:19):
Unbelievable season.
Speaker 4 (42:20):
But I think at some point they're going to figure
it out, and I think it happens this week.
Speaker 6 (42:23):
I don't know if you guys saw last week, but
Caleb Williams looks like a phenom out there.
Speaker 4 (42:27):
Kind of why. I pretty good him. I'm just I
don't think he can do it twice in a row.
Let me go with the Bears. All right, nebbi uh.
Speaker 10 (42:40):
I actually I think before the season, I actually thought
the Raiders were going to make the playoffs, and in
order for them to make the playoffs, they have to
win this game. So I'm going with the Las Vegas Raiders.
Speaker 4 (43:00):
All right, there you go.
Speaker 3 (43:01):
And like I said, Pat went with the Raiders, New
York Jets and the Miami Dolphins. Somebody has to get
their first win of the year, and it's gonna happen
on Monday night football Jets and Dolphins, Nebby, I'll let
you start.
Speaker 10 (43:18):
I'm going with the New York Jets, and I think
Aaron Glenn gets his first win as an NFL head coach.
So I'm going with the New York Jets.
Speaker 3 (43:39):
Man, that's such a tough situation to go into as
a head coach. But he gets Justin Fields back this
week seemingly, so that looks good. He's got to pass
through concussion protocol. I think today, I think Tua is
still in it currently on his side of things. But
what do you think on the Jets and Dolphins.
Speaker 6 (43:54):
I think one team is busting out from the seams.
I think one team is just looks really bad. Man,
the Jets are not great, but I think if anything,
they had a little momentum at the end of that
game with the Bucks. They're feeling good about themselves. Ultimately
resulted in a loss.
Speaker 7 (44:15):
Let me go with the Jets here.
Speaker 4 (44:17):
Okay, I think the Jets are close.
Speaker 8 (44:19):
Do you think they're close?
Speaker 9 (44:20):
I think, you know, you look at the two of
the games they've lost have been by two points to
Pittsburgh and Tampa Bay, the two really good offensive teams.
And if they get justin fields back, I thought he
played very well in the opener against Pittsburgh. Yeah, so
if he's taken that next step and finally he's in
the right scheme and in the right system, maybe Aaron
Glenn is hitting his little sideline dance a little bit harder.
Speaker 8 (44:41):
I love that.
Speaker 4 (44:42):
That was awesome.
Speaker 8 (44:43):
So I'm taking the Jets in this game.
Speaker 4 (44:45):
I think I'm gonna take the Jets too. I really do.
Speaker 3 (44:47):
I just think, kind of like what Tommy said, they
nearly and probably should have beaten the Buccaneers last week.
They had the block kick that kind of helped them
get back in it and ultimately.
Speaker 4 (44:59):
Was in that game all the way through. Give me
the Jets and I.
Speaker 7 (45:03):
Just don't football game. I don't think they have the
better coach at all. Miami is just unraveling.
Speaker 3 (45:09):
They're a mess, they really are, and it's not it's
not all on to in that offensive situation at defense.
Speaker 4 (45:17):
Is not great either, Like they're just kind of a man.
Speaker 7 (45:19):
Daniel doesn't have a clue right not right now. I
felt bad for him.
Speaker 4 (45:23):
All right. The game we've all been waiting for.
Speaker 3 (45:26):
It's the Packers, Micah Parsons and of course this cheesehead
sort of mentality making its invasion into AT and T Stadium.
A month after being traded, Micah returns. The Packers are
two to one. They're angry after a loss last week
to the Cleveland Browns in heartbreaking fashion. Thirteen to ten
(45:48):
was the final score. It's gonna be a Sunday night
football matchup to remember, one.
Speaker 4 (45:52):
Way or the other.
Speaker 3 (45:54):
Which way do you think it's gonna go? Nebbie Cowboys, Packers,
give us your your winner and.
Speaker 4 (45:58):
Your score.
Speaker 10 (46:01):
Again. It hurts me to have to do this, but
the fact of the matter is, right now, I just
do not I trust I trust our defense. So even
though I hope I'm wrong, I'm going with my dad's
Green Bay Packers at thirty one twenty. I'm so sorry, guys,
(46:29):
but again I hope I'm one hundred percent wrong.
Speaker 4 (46:33):
I agree with you. A great job, Nebby, thank you
for coming us. Not always.
Speaker 3 (46:36):
We will talk to you again down the line. And
it's rare that we have a fan pick against the Cowboys.
Almost always, even in the big time games. Even in
the games that it seems like Dallas is a heavy underdog,
you still see the fans end up taking the Cowboys.
Not this week, Nebby says, I know ball and it's
(46:57):
thirty one to twenty Packers this week. All right, Josh,
which guy?
Speaker 6 (47:02):
This is a tough one. Man, This is tough. I mean,
you wanna be right, you wanna My heart and my
brain are telling me different things.
Speaker 7 (47:12):
At least here.
Speaker 4 (47:16):
I gotta go with my gut.
Speaker 7 (47:18):
My gut says the Dallas Cowboys will win this game.
Speaker 6 (47:20):
Wow, thirty three thirty one in a tight game, and
a tight that would be awesome. I have holy Cowboys
And in the immortal words of one Hekma Harrison, Okay
Cowboys Nation, A hope your team wins.
Speaker 4 (47:33):
There you go. You can catch heckm on mix shots
every day Monday through Friday.
Speaker 3 (47:38):
I'm kind of in the same boat where my gut
actually feels kind of good about this game.
Speaker 4 (47:43):
I don't have the bubble guts for this game I
did last week.
Speaker 3 (47:46):
I said it last week, even though Chicago was zero
and two and they weren't playing very well, I still
kind of felt like there was something off about that game.
Speaker 4 (47:55):
I'd have the begs for GB No, No, that's a
good one. Not this week.
Speaker 3 (48:00):
But I still am going to pick the Packers, just
because I've watched enough of the film to see that
this Cowboys team is too far away, even though I
think it's going to be close, and I think they're
going to have a shot to win this game late
I didn't I didn't see the blowout happening last week,
but it kind of felt like it was off.
Speaker 4 (48:18):
I think this.
Speaker 3 (48:18):
Week's going to be a whole lot closer. But Green
Bay is going to kick a game winning field goal
at the end of it to win it. Twenty seven
twenty four final score, green Bay with the win.
Speaker 8 (48:30):
And you guys are a lot more optimistic than I am.
I think this is a complete and utter mismatch. I've
been wrong before. I was wrong last week. I thought
it was going to be a shootout last week it
ended up being it on once.
Speaker 4 (48:41):
On one side.
Speaker 9 (48:43):
Look, I think Green Bay is one of the best
teams in the league. I think they have the best
defense in the league, and they supercharged it when they.
Speaker 8 (48:49):
Added Michael Parsons.
Speaker 9 (48:50):
And you know, Dallas down two starting offensive linemen, they're
down their best receiver. Not that George Pickens can't help
carry the load. I think this is going to be
way too much to hand. I think the Packers win
this one thirty five to ten.
Speaker 4 (49:02):
Thirty five to ten.
Speaker 3 (49:03):
Patrick had Packers winning at thirty seven twenty four. So
he's right around the same thought process, except you you
have ten points on the board no offense either.
Speaker 9 (49:14):
Now, well, I really think that you know, if pressure
is getting in on Dak, then don't I don't know
if there's going to be a lot that he can do.
He was hitting the check down well last week against Chicago,
but these tackles Tyler Gutton and Terrence Steele have really
struggled and they're about to face the best pass rush
that they'll see maybe all year all year, and it's
one of their former teammates.
Speaker 4 (49:33):
So who knows that to attack them.
Speaker 6 (49:36):
This is uh.
Speaker 8 (49:37):
I mean, you know you've seen this guy in practice.
They know how good he is.
Speaker 9 (49:42):
Right, They had to practice against him for four years
and practicing against him has made them better.
Speaker 8 (49:48):
And now you got to deal with him.
Speaker 9 (49:49):
He had to deal with Rashaun Gary, who now has
this giant door open in front of him with Mikey
getting so much attention. He's got four and a half sacks,
already leads the NFL, and he's well on his way
to beating his career high.
Speaker 4 (49:58):
Yep.
Speaker 8 (50:00):
Yeah, I just I just don't think the Cowboys have
the horses in this one.
Speaker 5 (50:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (50:04):
And like I said at the beginning of the episode,
no matter how you feel like this game is going
to go, it's gonna be a highly emotional, extra charged
environment at AT and T Stadium on Sunday. I'm excited
for this game, whether it's a win or lose for
the Cowboys because we're gonna learn a little bit more
about this team. And remember what we've always said about
September football. September football is where you're trying to learn
(50:27):
about yourself. Then you can make the adjustments and continue forward.
They're gonna try and make adjustments this week period, or
else you're one to three. You have to win this
football game this week. It's gonna be a tough one
against the Green Bay Packers. We'll be here Monday, Monday morning,
almost at afternoon Monday morning to break it down for
you win or lose. Following Sunday Night football, be sure
(50:47):
to keep up to date with Tommy Yarrish on Dallas
Cowboys dot Com. He's got you covered on the website
all week long. We have pregame live starting from AT
and T Stadium on the field on the sideline as
Micah makes his return start at six o'clock Central. Dallas
Cowboys dot Com gets early.

And those cheeseheads from Wisconsin.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Damn you fired up, Josh, Say it with your chest.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
Kyle, I'm saying it with my chest.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
I know what the frustration has been with this football
team over the first three weeks of the season. You
are a sixty four yard field goal from Brandon Aubrey
away from being zero to three.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
But I couldn't care less. These type of games get
you fired up.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
This type of atmosphere that we're gonna see and experience
on Sunday night football should get Cowboys fans riled up.
You've got someone that's coming in looking to snatch your
your five hundred record, your lunch, your chain, whatever you
want to say. They're trying to take away your happiness
on Sunday.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
Don't let them do that.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
I hope ay D and T Stadium is an absolute
madhouse on Sunday.
Speaker 6 (02:04):
My Grandmama, give me that change. He's not taking it, dude,
that's ours the car.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Don't go crime the car. Lay it all on the field,
just lay just lay it out there.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
And I'm so pumped to be there too.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
It's the first time the pregame and postgame is gonna
be on site at the stadium this week, so we'll
be in the building, we're gonna be down on the field.
We're gonna have a great pregame show, and it's gonna
be wild. I know the Penn State white Out is
on Saturday. In college football. There's gonna be a lot
of great college football this week too, right, there will be.
Speaker 6 (02:35):
However, I'm not looking forward to as far as the
game goes. You guys are gonna be there. You're gonna
be at at and T Stadium with us. I gotta
sick next to Kyle at.
Speaker 7 (02:43):
The press box. But to finish the thought, he's gonna
rip his pants again.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
And that's happened once before, snap ones during during the pregame.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Now I know.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
After that day, now I do, uh, but no, to
finish the thought, I know the atmosphere for the white
out I Penn State, it's going to be crazy on Saturday.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
I hope the atmosphere is just as loud at at
and T Stadium.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Yeah, I hope they just go crazy, just go crazy.
Speaker 7 (03:10):
I don't want to see any green in the stands, man, I.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
Don't want you.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
You're going to see it now, I don't.
Speaker 7 (03:15):
Want to see it, is what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
Or yellow cheese gross?
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Yellow?
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Yeah, that cheese gross.
Speaker 8 (03:23):
I'm good on cheese heads, Yeah, I'm good without it.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Is that your least favorite fan in the NFL, like
a cheese, said, I.
Speaker 8 (03:32):
Don't know if I'm probably not ranking of worst fans.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Oh I do, Philadelphia.
Speaker 8 (03:39):
I could make you, but no, I just I like
eating cheese.
Speaker 9 (03:44):
I don't like seeing it on people's heads. Okay, that's
just off pudding. Yeah, it is off putting.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
Glad to have you back here, Tommy.
Speaker 8 (03:52):
I'm glad to be back there.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
In a minute.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Isaiah out today, he's doing Good morning football out there
on the West coast and called jv in yeap, be
sure to call.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Uh where's arch Archier?
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Oh no, we're throwing shots across the Texas.
Speaker 9 (04:09):
Look, family, we're doing We're doing one to know this
week the bye has no chances.
Speaker 7 (04:16):
Were brothers. We're happy and we're singing.
Speaker 10 (04:18):
There you go.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
All right, let's get into some news and notes here, Patrick,
no C.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Walker and what's the rest of it? All right, yes, sir,
News and notes. So we got the Thursday's injury report
from the Cowboys, and as expected, Tyler Booker, neither Tyler
Booker nor CD Lamb participated in practice on Thursday. Again,
they are expected to be out at minimum this week.
Ceedee Lamb might be a couple of weeks. Tyler Booker
(04:44):
is going to be a good bit longer. I expect
that he'll be moving to ir at some point this week.
There is some great news though. Dran Bland was upgraded
from limited to a full participant in yesterday's practice, so
Deran Bland continues to be on track to return for
the Cup.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
I like that.
Speaker 5 (05:07):
I like that.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
Say more words like that. I shall oh.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Trevon Diggs was also upgraded too full participant from participate
the day before.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
I know there are a lot of people rolling their
eyes that were clapping at that, but you need bodies
there and.
Speaker 7 (05:20):
You simply haven't seen those two on the field time period.
Come on.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
That combo pack is rarely seen together. So hopefully, hopefully.
Speaker 7 (05:30):
Are they one and the same. Has he been doing
a Batman Bruce Wayne situation.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Because you've never seen them in the same place at
the same time, I wonder. So, yeah, you have your
two starting all Pro cornerbacks who are expected to take
the field against the Green Bay Packers. That is fantastic
news because you're in love and that offense, as we
talked about this week, can rack up numbers if you
allow them to. Now, of course, it starts with getting
(05:57):
after him in the past rush. But it's certainly hopes
that you will have your two ap pro corners back
there to try to do.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
What they can try to stop the bleeding as it were,
As it were, how much does that change your confidence
level just having those two guys if it went, give
me a pre digs slash bland rating one through ten
and give me a post I.
Speaker 6 (06:19):
Mean, just use the eye tests. You saw them both
out there, right, yes, for Philly. Wait a second, so
rarely out there at the same time. Yeah, but using
the eye test, you did not let Philly's receivers beat you.
Granted you let the team beat you, but regardless, the
receivers did not kill you in Philly. The second tourn
(06:40):
blands out, you are not looking very good. But Ryan
on kyer elam and granted you're just not able to
solidify that slot corner position, which he will be playing
slot corner Tommy, I just want to clarify.
Speaker 9 (06:55):
Yeah, it'll be him on the slot digs and on
the outside. Yeah, thank you, thank you for that.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
I appreciate that.
Speaker 8 (07:00):
All right.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
Anyways, to say what.
Speaker 6 (07:04):
I test, you have to feel a little more confident
just based on this year alone. We got three sample sizes.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
And that is one Duran Bland back on the field
makes me feel more confident. But if we're talking about
some personnel changes, Shaddy, we're talking about some personnel changes,
I'm starting my boundary. Starting corners are Dron Bland and
Trevon Diggs, and I keep Ready Steward in the nickel.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Here.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Here's why I would, Here's why I would. We we
had we can't agree that Ready Stewart looked really good
in run defense. We want him to look better in coverage. Yes, agreed,
I would say good.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
I don't know if I'm gonna say really good. He
took a really bad angle outside run. It was good.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
It was better than expected.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
He wraps up sure better than he wants to be physical.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
So the question that you have to ask yourself is,
with the way kaw your elam is struggling, are you
more comfortable with your struggles on the outside? Are you
more comfortable with your struggles in the nickel? I personally
am more comfortable with struggles and I so you're making.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
A considerable decision to bench Kayer Elum this week.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
I would say with the chess, I'm going to say,
with how your elam is struggling. So just like we
had the Jack Sambourne conversation, Jack Sanborn is struggling, struggling.
He's not giving you what MERETI if I could give you.
And if you're talking about personnel changes, and you want
to make changes to make the team better, especially on
the defensive side of the ball, where you struggled so mightily,
(08:36):
I would put my two war pro corners on the boundaries,
especially against a Green Bay offense that can take you downfield.
And I would look at Ready Steward and I'd say, hey,
now's the time to kind of step up with the
with the coverage. I mean, he has the physicality, he
has the run defense. So yeah, that's the thing is
I think that I'm more concerned with kyer struggles boundary
(09:00):
than i am with ready struggles in the nickel. And
that's why I would make that decision.
Speaker 8 (09:05):
I see where you're coming from, and it's I understand why.
Speaker 9 (09:09):
I just think that when you look back at that
Philly game, you know, granted, the Vegles didn't really need
to throw the ball a lot. I mean they were
running the ball so well, and they were getting out
with the quarterback run game that they didn't need.
Speaker 8 (09:19):
To throw the ball a whole lot. It's Jalen Hurts.
I think Kyrie.
Speaker 9 (09:24):
Elam struggles this year have really been more of the
fact that the Cowboys don't have a pass rush. They
just can't get to the quarterback and really the whole secondary.
I mean, that's that's where everything starts. If you can't
get after quarterbacks in the NFL and they've got all
day to throw, they're gonna make you pay.
Speaker 8 (09:37):
It doesn't matter who you have back there. Trayvon Diggs,
Drell Reeves, it doesn't matter. Well, maybe Durell Rieves is
a different story.
Speaker 9 (09:43):
But if they get all the time in the world
and your offensive linemen have to are holding up for
three four five seconds, eventually someone's gonna pop open. It
doesn't matter who you're playing at corner. So I think
that that's really where the struggles have come from. Now,
I'm not saying Kyrie Elam has played really well or anything.
Speaker 8 (09:59):
I think he's had his.
Speaker 9 (09:59):
Fair share of struggles, But the fact that the Cowboys
can't get to the quarterback and can't bring him down
is what's holding them back.
Speaker 8 (10:07):
So that's really more of what I think they need.
Speaker 9 (10:09):
So I'm fine with Elim on the outside because you know,
I think when you look at the list of outside
corners that you've got right now, it's him and digs
are you are your two best ones. And again, I'm
by no means saying that, you know, Kyrie Elm has
at a great season and he's gonna be a Pro
Bowl or anything like that, but from what we saw
in training camp, he clearly has.
Speaker 8 (10:28):
The ability to cover well when you get.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
Out of the quarterback.
Speaker 8 (10:32):
And you know, I think it's too early to be like,
all right, let's sion.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
I'm saying he's slumping, so right, No, no, no, I
still want to absolutely he's slumping and you're staring one
in three in the face. Yeah, And so at this point,
as a head coach, you have to say, Okay, I
know you need time to get out of the slump,
but right now, we don't have a moment for you
to get out of the slump. Let's get to two
and two and then let's revisit and figure this thing
out from there.
Speaker 6 (10:57):
Well, I don't know that I necessarily have the confidence
that that will happen, because you know, yesterday listening to
coordinator or I guess that was Wednesday, right, Listening to
coordinators talk about uh Evira Flus for instance, bringing up
Jack Sanborn and saying that he's had two really good,
solid games.
Speaker 7 (11:13):
That to me was alarming in many respects.
Speaker 8 (11:16):
But well, he did say run defense.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
He did specify run defense.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
And the other thing is a lot of times, if
they're going to be coaches that are in these press conferences,
they're not going to throw their guys under them. Of course,
they're not going to sit here and say It's like
the whole conversation with the Jerry Jones saying this is
a playoff team and everybody up in arms because he said, yes,
this is a playoff team after they just got embarrassed
by the Bears.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
What else is he gonna say?
Speaker 11 (11:44):
What else?
Speaker 4 (11:44):
What's his other answer in that regard? What is that guy?
I mean, that's a whole different conversation.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
But is he gonna say, nah, we're not a playoff team.
It's Week three, but you know what, I've already given
up on the season.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
Yeah, you can answer that question.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
It's the same thing with whatever coaches talk about these players,
they're always gonna say, oh, they're doing this well, that
holds more weight when he said he's been good in
run defense as opposed to saying good in general. That
holds more weight, because that's saying I'm gonna special excuse specify, specify,
I speak for a living what he is doing well,
(12:18):
because there are other things on this roster, other guys
on this roster, other things and his game specifically that
he's not doing.
Speaker 6 (12:24):
Was that alarming to you at all for him to
kind of coach speak that phrase when talking about a
guy like Sanborn and not necessarily offering up a lot
of criticism towards towards.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Him, Because no, because I know what he's saying to
the media and coach Eberfluss, a former head coach, versus
what he's saying behind closed doors is completely different.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
Yeah, completely different.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
And honestly, I think this Schottenheimers staff as a whole,
they do a great job of building a wall. The
way that they talk in the media and the way
that they talk in these press conferences. I'd like to
hear Tommy and his thoughts on this. They are very
positive and optimistic consistently, whereas at times McCarthy and his
staff would give kind of the real one way or
(13:06):
the other. They build a wall between their players and
the media. And it's not a bad thing if you
want to try and go win football games and build
trust on something that you're trying to build culture on
your side of the building.
Speaker 8 (13:16):
Yeah, no, absolutely right.
Speaker 9 (13:17):
And I think Brian Schottenheimer has really done a great
job of consistently finding ways to make the really bad positive.
And you know, any football coach is going to say
that this team is not playing well through three games. Yeah,
and Brian Schottenheimer's even he said it to you. And
I think Brian schottenheimmer does for the most part, keep
(13:39):
things pretty real and you know, when things are not
going well, he'll tell you why. And I've always appreciated
how deep in detail he goes on everything because a
lot of folks just don't understand, myself included, there are
some things that I don't understand, and him explaining it
is incredible perspective. But yeah, this is a guy who
who's not going to change who he is. He's always
going to be upbeat and he's looking for the next
(14:00):
task at hand and how they can get better. But
you're right, Kyle, they do a really good job of
building the wall and they know what's what they need
to fix. Yeah, they know what they need to fix.
Now it's just a matter of, Okay, do they have
the horses to fix it?
Speaker 4 (14:13):
And that's that's that's really.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
The big I think they do have the horses to
fix it. I think it's I think you just have
to pull the trigger on some of these things.
Speaker 10 (14:21):
Right.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
We talked about when we're talking about Shoddy saying he
could see he could make some personnel changes. We were
wondering here at this very panel, are we talking about
more one Ya Thomas and Marquise bell On they back okay,
because Malie Hooker and Donovan Wilson, they're struggling in the
roles they're being asked to do right now. Same goes
for Jack Samborn. We would like to see more maris
Lea File Kyrie Elam. We know that he's capable. We
(14:43):
saw what he was doing in training camp. He was
one of the training camp stars, right, but he's slumping
right now? Are you willing to make those types of changes?
These are his right James Houston put him up. Because
Sam Williams is struggling. Dante Fowler, he's in a slump.
This is not to say that any of the guys
that we're saying pull back are incapable, because they're absolutely capable.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
Yeah, but in the.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Moment, again you're staring down the barrel of one in three.
You've got to shake some things up.
Speaker 6 (15:06):
And Sean Himer has been saying you need all fifty
three guys to what I mean, you need every single
one of them if you're not giving them that opportunity
and you're willing to stagnate your defense and your offense
by using the same situations, and that the players that
are putting in those situations, that's the definition of insanity.
Speaker 7 (15:22):
You have fifty three guys, use them.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
So would you make that switch that we we that
Patrick proposed earlier in the segment.
Speaker 7 (15:29):
I don't know that I'm necessarily ready for that.
Speaker 6 (15:31):
I more so I'm leaning towards Tommy's observation that you
need the pass rush to get there.
Speaker 7 (15:37):
You need that, you need that pressure. I mean, it's
a chicken or the eggs.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
You want to be true it all gets out, because
eventually it will get out. Exactly, You're not going to
sack Joy and Love will pressure him on every single
drop back. So when that ball does get out. The
question is are you comfortable with the current set or
should you? Should you just go back to more of
a traditional with your two all pros on the boundary.
Speaker 6 (16:00):
But I'm not comfortable where the defense is at now,
and I'll say that plainly, and we've talked about it
so many times. I'm bringing up Jack Sanborn on my
end is part of that hesitation that I need to
see a little bit more from that unit because I
think they are letting things slip by. They don't have
the athletic ability there to contain.
Speaker 7 (16:21):
Quarterbacks that are dual threat. We've seen it against the Eagles.
Speaker 6 (16:25):
You sought against Caleb Williams, and now you have Jordan
Love who is a dual threat quarterback. What they did
against the Commanders is exactly what you need to be doing.
They had two very athletic linebackers in Quay Walker and
Edrin Cooper that were able to contain at the second
level and not let him get passed. That's where I'm at.
(16:45):
You have those guys, you have a Demne Clark, you
have a May Slifau. Why aren't they spy not spying,
but containing a quarterback of that caliber?
Speaker 1 (16:52):
And we have an early contestants for Coming of the day.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
Oh do we I have not?
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Well, we'll address that and then I've all also got
a stat that's going to back up what Josh just said.
On the other side of the break, I have to
break up and it's Kwise stat of the week. Can
you save maybe one minute on the other side of
the break, and then we'll have Patrick break out of
here when we come back with more talking cowboys after this.

just so I could wear it on the show.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
Go Mean Green, Get It Done Again in South Alabama,

Speaker 6 (21:46):
The Artistitute of Dallas, among eight times, is permanently closed

Speaker 1 (22:17):
All right, Patrick got a breakout.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
It's a lot, buddy, you have which that was really
that was.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Pow you have segment and uh yeah, all I can
say is before we even go dogs, dogs, no, no, no, Cowboys,
I need you to prove me wrong.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
We do have a addiction.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
It is in the building Patrick, no cy Walker piecing out.
I want to say it with Chest Friday. All right,
as we get into this segment, This is our X
Factor segment where we make some bold predictions and talk
about who is going to make the biggest impact on
the field Sunday night.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
Josh Tredmas, Oh.
Speaker 7 (22:54):
My goodness, yet again.
Speaker 10 (22:56):
I know.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
You're close, but no, cigar, I don't want to cheer.
Speaker 6 (23:00):
Who's my last two X factors even though I think
those will be your EX factors this week.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
Uh, you can choose him again if you want. You've
chosen Javonte Williams. Yes, And then who was it last week?
Speaker 7 (23:11):
Jake Fergus?
Speaker 4 (23:11):
It was ferg wasn't it. I know he was an
X factor.
Speaker 7 (23:14):
He was an X factor. Granted, gave you fifty yards.
Speaker 6 (23:17):
But I think they're both gonna be huge for you
this week too, and I don't want to split the two.
So let me just go Javonte Williams. I think you
need to use him as your bellcow. You need to
give him at least twenty carries, okay, because I need
to see over one hundred yards for Javonte Williams and
give me I don't know two toudies.
Speaker 4 (23:34):
Out of twenty carries and two toudies. Yeah wow, Yeah,
be a pretty good game. It's double the carries. And
I mean my main thing is we'd be cool with that.
Speaker 7 (23:43):
You need to control the clock, you need to hold
on the ball longer than the Packers.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
And also, not to mention, the Packers have struggled in
terms of run defense more than they have in the past.
Speaker 6 (23:54):
And attack that interior defensive line get out because they
don't have Kenny Clark.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
No, mo, no, they don't.
Speaker 9 (23:59):
Which you got Tommy offensive X factor Terrence Steele. I
think that if I'm Green Bay, I'm sending all my
rushers to that to the right side of the Cowboys
offensive line. He has really struggled in pass protection. And
you know, if they line up Michael Parsons over there,
he might have a field day. I mean, I have
a feeling he's you going.
Speaker 8 (24:16):
To have a field day either way.
Speaker 9 (24:17):
Problem, But he's he's he's kind of good at this
whole football thing. And you know, with Terrence Steele, I
think in the run game he's played pretty well this year.
And Clayton Adams said it yesterday too. He thinks that
his tackles have been better in the run that they've
been than they've been in pass protection. But if they
load up on that right side with him and TJ. Bass,
you know, if you line up Michael Parsons over there
(24:37):
and Shawn Gary, if you've interchange the two of them
and you just bring so much pressure off that right side,
I think it could be a long day for Dak Prescott.
Speaker 4 (24:47):
That's a big one.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
I'm gonna stick with what the conversation was earlier in
the show.
Speaker 4 (24:54):
Kyrie Elam's got to be the X factor man this week.
He has to be.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
You need him to be because if Durron Bland's back,
that shures up the inside, and that shures up that
nickel position.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
If he bounces outside one way or the other, I
think it's.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
Going to because be because of injury, not because of
any need or switch or binching of a guy, whether
it's Digs or Elam. But I was looking at this
stat and it plays into my stat of the week.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
This is this is not great. Let's just preface it
with this. This is not fun.
Speaker 7 (25:23):
To prepare yourselves.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Yeah, Cowboys defense allowed four hundred and fifteen yards five
touchdowns against deep passes. This season, which is the most
deep yards any defense is allowed through the first three
weeks of a season in the next Gen Stats era,
which goes back to twenty sixteen. So not only are
they the worst in terms of defending the deep pass
this year, they're the worst in nearly a decade at least,
(25:48):
and it could go further back than that.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
Additionally to that, that's not all. Just wait, there's more.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
Please know, Yeah, I know, kyri Elam acquired via trade
and March. Of course, the Cowboys corner has allowed two
hundred and fifty seven yards in coverage the season, most
in the NFL. We said that's that earlier in the week,
but Jordan Love has thrown four one thousand, eight hundred
and eighty four yards on deep passes since taking over.
Is the Packers full time starter in twenty twenty three.
(26:17):
Would you like to take a guess where that ranks
in the league on deep passes.
Speaker 7 (26:23):
Let's say number two.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
It's number one, so it's not a great matchup.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
So you need somebody to step up in that regard,
and that's where I'm looking at kyri Elum.
Speaker 9 (26:33):
And I'll add to this, you know, with if kyer
Elam wants to have a big game. He's gonna need
some help from the guys up front and.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
The passage breach.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
You know, it's not all on him, but he's if
the pass rusher is going to be non existent again, Yeah,
he's got to beat.
Speaker 9 (26:46):
He's got a early per he's got to cover. But
I'll say this to add to your stat about Jordan Love.
If you want to beat the Packers, you got to
get him uncomfortable. You've got to get pressure in his face.
You've got to force him into some bad decisions. In
the last two years, he's throwing two twenty two interceptions
eleven each year he has won. This year, it kind
of cost him late in the game against the Browns
last week. Grant Delpa did a really nice job of
(27:07):
kind of waiting and waiting and waiting, reading Glove's eyes
and stepping up and getting in front of the receiver
before he ran his slant. When Jordan Loves under pressure,
his completion percentage is just forty seven point eight percent
when he's been a full time starter, and he's been
stripsacked five times, So you got to be active, get
after the ball, and they're negative four in the turnover
(27:27):
margin that's second worst in the league. They've got to
force some turnovers this game and give their offense as
many possessions as they can if they want any chance
of winning it.
Speaker 7 (27:35):
Yeah, defensive c factor, that's what we're doing right.
Speaker 4 (27:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (27:39):
Well, there's one guy that you haven't seen on this
defense yet.
Speaker 6 (27:43):
And as far as I'm concerned, and Tommy brought it
up earlier, you're talking about pass rush needing to be there,
you haven't seen it yet. In terms of this football
team this season, there's a certain guy out there, brand new.
Speaker 7 (27:56):
He should have played last week.
Speaker 6 (27:57):
He's oh this week, give me Jadavian clown nice because
if anything, if you're going to affect Jordan Love, you
need him to get him off his spot. You need
to force him out of the pocket and put him
in uncomfortable situations, throwing off his back foot, put just
creating pressure. I'm not saying sex. I'm saying pressures. For
(28:17):
the love of God, I need Jordan Love to be
hearing that faint Paul Phil Collins music.
Speaker 7 (28:23):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 6 (28:29):
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, and
I can feel it on that field Sunday night when
Jadavin Clowney is gonna absolutely close line me into the ground,
and I need to get this ball away before.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
He does that. I can't no notes.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
Honestly, I was gonna ask, like, what would a successful
appearance for Clowney look like?
Speaker 4 (28:50):
And you just told me.
Speaker 6 (28:53):
Quarterback, I'm fine with it, dude. Just make him uncomfortable,
makes man. Yeah, Uh, give me at least five or
six pressures on Jordan's big day. That's all I need.
I don't need a sound strong. It may can'st uncomfortable. Yeah,
even that breathe on his neck a little bit, you
(29:14):
know what I'm saying, Just like, look I get away
from me.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Dude.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
It may be a little over zealous to say five
or six pressures, but a realistic three or four I
think I'd be all right with because that's more than
what you're getting individually from most of the guys that
have been in that spot and in that rotation initially.
Speaker 6 (29:29):
And if it creates more pressure for other guys too,
If just Davin Clowney's flushing him out to the right side,
come on, dude.
Speaker 7 (29:35):
Let's go.
Speaker 4 (29:36):
Have we talked about forty two on this show yet?
Speaker 5 (29:39):
Oh? Yeah.
Speaker 7 (29:40):
The fact that he's wearing forty two and you got.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
BC that's oh not even Bury Church. But that's uh,
we've got something for Sunday with that, by the way,
on the pregame show. It's gonna be fun the uh
tune in a Dallas Cowboys dot Com.
Speaker 4 (29:52):
I hate that number on him, really, He's always just
been a single digit guy to me.
Speaker 7 (29:57):
But what number is he gonna He can't have one?
Speaker 3 (29:59):
Yeah, I know he can't that one. You can't give him, mate, Yeah,
that's the one that's open right now.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
You can't give him. Now why he picked it?
Speaker 10 (30:05):
Right?
Speaker 4 (30:05):
Why is that Jackie right? Jackie Robinson? Okay, that's cool.
And then he said when he makes a sack.
Speaker 12 (30:10):
He's gonna do the the Jackie Robinson baseball hit.
Speaker 6 (30:15):
He's already counting sacks on like that. I don't like that, man,
Just work, just worry about pressures.
Speaker 4 (30:18):
But that's pretty cool though. That's cool. Yeah, that's okay,
that's pretty sweet. That's a bear trap right there, buddy, No,
it's not.
Speaker 8 (30:24):
I didn't.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
Forty two is an ugly number on an edge rusher period.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
It looked fine on me like an as rusher, though
I look fine on Barry Church as the safety as
an edge rusher. It looks bad, but that's a cool reason,
So I guess it's fine. All right, let's take our
let's take our final break. When we come back, it's
time for our pick Hims. Actually, before we go to break,
Patrick wanted me to tell you that his X factor
is Cavante Turpin this week.

That's exactly what he's actually, Yeah, verbat him and I
can't wait to get the text message.

Speaker 4 (33:55):
And Baemer.

It's time for a little bit of Beamer bulletin going

Speaker 4 (34:01):
Take it away Beam.
Speaker 12 (34:02):
Perfect, all right, these standings are set, man, these are
some bad standings.
Speaker 4 (34:09):
You want to know why?
Speaker 12 (34:10):
Oh no, because Isaiah right now is the top dog
and that's not good because he will let you know,
he is totally nine and three on the year.
Speaker 4 (34:18):
He's doing really well to make sure he makes his picks. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 12 (34:23):
Second place would be Josh Josh at seven and five,
tied with the fans at seven and five, and then
we have a tie for last place would be Kyle
E Patrick.
Speaker 4 (34:35):
Oh sorry, but here's the fun track. Guys. What I
did last week is I chat GPT the.
Speaker 12 (34:42):
The uh to see what chap GPT thought about the
standings or the games.
Speaker 4 (34:48):
Chap GPT went six and oh last week, so let
me tell you about that.
Speaker 7 (34:51):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 4 (34:52):
So I'm gonna do it again this week. So now
we're playing a AI. We went six, got a play
against how about that? And hey guy a I went
to no less just letting you know that maybe the
scores and everything.
Speaker 8 (35:10):
What is the world coming to?
Speaker 7 (35:11):
So it's us versus sky Net exactly?
Speaker 4 (35:14):
What's that?
Speaker 3 (35:15):
What's that that movie where it's uh, not Transformers, but
like like you know, like you're taking on the AI,
you're taking on robots Terminator.
Speaker 4 (35:24):
No, that's a good one though. That's kind that would
that would make it work? Yeah, I'm not. That's not
when I was reference saying, just like war versus whatever,
like robots.
Speaker 7 (35:34):
Yeah, got fun.
Speaker 8 (35:36):
That was the worst description of a movie I think
I have ever heard of.
Speaker 4 (35:40):
Wonder they're fighting robots barrels in it.
Speaker 8 (35:43):
That's like eight hundred different movies.
Speaker 4 (35:46):
I know, I can't describe it. It's it's right there,
but it's not. At the same time.
Speaker 7 (35:51):
You talking about movies is like me talking about baseball.
I have no we're talking about.
Speaker 4 (35:56):
I don't want to talk about baseball either. I'm sad
about sorry body. Yeah, all right, check it on jack
Chat GPT this week. I love it. All right.
Speaker 3 (36:08):
It is time for our pickham segment. Our pick them
guest picker this week is no other than Nebby Knows Ball.
Nebbe from over Spring, Maryland is on the line.
Speaker 4 (36:19):
What's going on? Nebby?
Speaker 10 (36:21):
Hey, Hi guys, thank you so much for allowing me
to be the fan representative today. I really appreciate it
and I'm really looking forward to this. So let's go.
Speaker 4 (36:46):
Let's do this, Let's do it. I appreciate you, Nebby
and always calling in.
Speaker 3 (36:51):
We're gonna start things off with that game out in Dublin, Ireland.
It is the Vikings and the Steelers. Vikings playing quite
well with a backup quarterback. And that's why every time
I say backup, I put it in quotations. Tommy, I'll
let you start on this one.
Speaker 7 (37:07):
Is he really the backup?
Speaker 4 (37:08):
Is he really the backup?
Speaker 13 (37:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (37:10):
You know, Kevin O'Connell does such a good job with quarterbacks.
Carson Wentz is playing really well, but really, the Vikings
defense is what does it for me?
Speaker 8 (37:16):
In this game? I'm picking Minnesota. You know, the Steelers.
Aaron Rodgers is eight hundred years old, and I think that.
Speaker 9 (37:22):
If he gets pressure in his face, he's not going
to be able to do too much with it. So
give me the Vikings.
Speaker 4 (37:26):
He's probably going to be sore from the flight over still,
you know, getting over.
Speaker 8 (37:29):
To walk into the stadium, waking up in the morning period.
Speaker 6 (37:33):
You'll fit right in Europe with Josh. I'm going with
the Vikings on this one. I just think Kevin O'Connell
is the better I don't want to see the better card.
I think he's going to have his team better prepared
to go against the Steelers.
Speaker 3 (37:44):
I don't think I could go against them after what
they did last week. Give me the Vikings to win
this game, nebbe what you got.
Speaker 10 (37:51):
Yeah, well, I believe it or not, I am going
to go against the here. I'm going to respectfully disagree
with you all. I'm picking the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Speaker 3 (38:07):
I like it, and you're not alone. Patrick also picked
the Steelers this week. I don't have Isaiah's pick. We'll
fill that in on the back end, all right, Moving
on Eagles, at Buccaneers.
Speaker 4 (38:18):
This is an interesting game.
Speaker 3 (38:20):
Two teams that survived last week and remain undefeated on
the season. The Buccaneers one of three teams in the
NFL that have not had a turnover to this point
in the season.
Speaker 4 (38:30):
Josh, I'll let you start.
Speaker 7 (38:32):
I love Baker Mayfield, I truly do. He always does
the opposite.
Speaker 4 (38:36):
Of what real hot. Right now, He's so hot, man,
right now.
Speaker 6 (38:39):
I'm gonna go with the opposite of Baker Mayfield because
he's just going to do the opposite of what I'm
going to do.
Speaker 7 (38:45):
So the other team, not the Buccaneers.
Speaker 10 (38:52):
Well, Philly is obviously one of the best teams in football.
In fact, these are obviously two of the best teams
in football. But uh uh, the Eagles are the reigning chymps.
Speaker 11 (39:09):
Uh uh.
Speaker 10 (39:11):
They've been finding ways to win. Uh. It hurts me
to do this, but I'm going with the Philadelphia Eagle. Eagles,
I am not.
Speaker 4 (39:22):
I'm going with the Buccaneers. Give me Tampa Bay to
get it done at home, the fighting Banks, the Bakers.
Speaker 8 (39:27):
This is this has really been. This is gonna be
a really good game.
Speaker 9 (39:30):
First of all, Eagles have really struggled offensively and it's
kind of weird to watch because they have not gotten,
we have not find found a way to get their
receivers involved in the passing game. And Saquon Barkley is
not off to as good as a start as he
was last year. Granted it's hard to replicate that. So
I'm gonna take the bucks here in an upset. I
(39:51):
think a lot of people are favoring the Eagles and
what they're doing offensively. They're just finding ways to win.
They have found ways to win the last three weeks
and it's been close really for both teams. They've both
found ways to win. And I think Tampa Bay gets
it done again.
Speaker 3 (40:05):
You know who hasn't struggled offensively, Indiana Jones and the.
Speaker 4 (40:10):
Lot of Indianapolis Colts about that, it's looking like.
Speaker 3 (40:13):
A contender in the AFC all of a sudden, by
the way, Patrick picked the Buccaneers, but Colts and Rams
Colts at three and oh, one of those other two
teams along with Tampa Bay that has not committed a turnover,
and that's with Danny Dimes at quarterback.
Speaker 4 (40:28):
And he actually is Danny Dimes.
Speaker 7 (40:30):
He's doing his thing.
Speaker 4 (40:31):
Sandiana Jones. Now it's different nickname.
Speaker 3 (40:33):
Yeah, I'm going to take the Rams though in that streak,
I think the Rams are the better team.
Speaker 4 (40:37):
I think they're deeper, and I think they've.
Speaker 3 (40:39):
Got of course, Sean McVay, who does not want to
fall the two and two Tommy.
Speaker 8 (40:43):
Yeah, I'm going to keep it rolling with the Colts.
Speaker 9 (40:46):
You know, I think it's kind of misleading about them
is the first three teams they've played, Miami and Tennessee
being two of them, so you know they've got they've
got it rolling early on, and Jonathan Taylor is playing really,
really well.
Speaker 8 (40:57):
But I think what tells it to me.
Speaker 9 (40:59):
Is that Denver game where they were able to go
on the road or excuse me, they're able to beat
them at home. And that's a tough Denver defense. And
Danny Dimes has been Danny Picks at times in some
points in his career, and I think Denver's got the
best secondary in the league. So if they can protect
Daniel Jones and kind of can Jared Verse a little bit,
I think the Colts can win this game.
Speaker 7 (41:19):
That name, Jared Verse, I think he's mad. I think
he's real mad.
Speaker 6 (41:23):
He got his chain taking his grandma would give me
that change Anyways, I'm going with the Rams, nebbe, I am.
Speaker 10 (41:34):
Also going with the Los Angeles Rams.
Speaker 4 (41:38):
Patrick's going with the Rams too.
Speaker 3 (41:40):
He also has the Raiders in this next matchup, taking
on the Chicago Bears. Both teams at one and two. However,
both teams kind of resurgent in their win recently. Tommy,
I'll let you start.
Speaker 8 (41:54):
Yeah, it's an interesting game.
Speaker 9 (41:55):
It's two offenses that have kind of kind of found
their footing, but defensively there's a lot of question marks.
I think Chicago's gotten more of the horses on defense
than Los Angeles.
Speaker 8 (42:05):
So I'm gonna go with the Bears here, give me.
Speaker 4 (42:06):
The Raiders here to win it at home. Yeah, yeah,
the Raiders. They are not helping Ashton Genty out really
at all.
Speaker 9 (42:14):
Well, poor guy, he had zero point five yards before
before contact.
Speaker 8 (42:19):
Unbelievable season.
Speaker 4 (42:20):
But I think at some point they're going to figure
it out, and I think it happens this week.
Speaker 6 (42:23):
I don't know if you guys saw last week, but
Caleb Williams looks like a phenom out there.
Speaker 4 (42:27):
Kind of why. I pretty good him. I'm just I
don't think he can do it twice in a row.
Let me go with the Bears. All right, nebbi uh.
Speaker 10 (42:40):
I actually I think before the season, I actually thought
the Raiders were going to make the playoffs, and in
order for them to make the playoffs, they have to
win this game. So I'm going with the Las Vegas Raiders.
Speaker 4 (43:00):
All right, there you go.
Speaker 3 (43:01):
And like I said, Pat went with the Raiders, New
York Jets and the Miami Dolphins. Somebody has to get
their first win of the year, and it's gonna happen
on Monday night football Jets and Dolphins, Nebby, I'll let
you start.
Speaker 10 (43:18):
I'm going with the New York Jets, and I think
Aaron Glenn gets his first win as an NFL head coach.
So I'm going with the New York Jets.
Speaker 3 (43:39):
Man, that's such a tough situation to go into as
a head coach. But he gets Justin Fields back this
week seemingly, so that looks good. He's got to pass
through concussion protocol. I think today, I think Tua is
still in it currently on his side of things. But
what do you think on the Jets and Dolphins.
Speaker 6 (43:54):
I think one team is busting out from the seams.
I think one team is just looks really bad. Man,
the Jets are not great, but I think if anything,
they had a little momentum at the end of that
game with the Bucks. They're feeling good about themselves. Ultimately
resulted in a loss.
Speaker 7 (44:15):
Let me go with the Jets here.
Speaker 4 (44:17):
Okay, I think the Jets are close.
Speaker 8 (44:19):
Do you think they're close?
Speaker 9 (44:20):
I think, you know, you look at the two of
the games they've lost have been by two points to
Pittsburgh and Tampa Bay, the two really good offensive teams.
And if they get justin fields back, I thought he
played very well in the opener against Pittsburgh. Yeah, so
if he's taken that next step and finally he's in
the right scheme and in the right system, maybe Aaron
Glenn is hitting his little sideline dance a little bit harder.
Speaker 8 (44:41):
I love that.
Speaker 4 (44:42):
That was awesome.
Speaker 8 (44:43):
So I'm taking the Jets in this game.
Speaker 4 (44:45):
I think I'm gonna take the Jets too. I really do.
Speaker 3 (44:47):
I just think, kind of like what Tommy said, they
nearly and probably should have beaten the Buccaneers last week.
They had the block kick that kind of helped them
get back in it and ultimately.
Speaker 4 (44:59):
Was in that game all the way through. Give me
the Jets and I.
Speaker 7 (45:03):
Just don't football game. I don't think they have the
better coach at all. Miami is just unraveling.
Speaker 3 (45:09):
They're a mess, they really are, and it's not it's
not all on to in that offensive situation at defense.
Speaker 4 (45:17):
Is not great either, Like they're just kind of a man.
Speaker 7 (45:19):
Daniel doesn't have a clue right not right now. I
felt bad for him.
Speaker 4 (45:23):
All right. The game we've all been waiting for.
Speaker 3 (45:26):
It's the Packers, Micah Parsons and of course this cheesehead
sort of mentality making its invasion into AT and T Stadium.
A month after being traded, Micah returns. The Packers are
two to one. They're angry after a loss last week
to the Cleveland Browns in heartbreaking fashion. Thirteen to ten
(45:48):
was the final score. It's gonna be a Sunday night
football matchup to remember, one.
Speaker 4 (45:52):
Way or the other.
Speaker 3 (45:54):
Which way do you think it's gonna go? Nebbie Cowboys, Packers,
give us your your winner and.
Speaker 4 (45:58):
Your score.
Speaker 10 (46:01):
Again. It hurts me to have to do this, but
the fact of the matter is, right now, I just
do not I trust I trust our defense. So even
though I hope I'm wrong, I'm going with my dad's
Green Bay Packers at thirty one twenty. I'm so sorry, guys,
(46:29):
but again I hope I'm one hundred percent wrong.
Speaker 4 (46:33):
I agree with you. A great job, Nebby, thank you
for coming us. Not always.
Speaker 3 (46:36):
We will talk to you again down the line. And
it's rare that we have a fan pick against the Cowboys.
Almost always, even in the big time games. Even in
the games that it seems like Dallas is a heavy underdog,
you still see the fans end up taking the Cowboys.
Not this week, Nebby says, I know ball and it's
(46:57):
thirty one to twenty Packers this week. All right, Josh,
which guy?
Speaker 6 (47:02):
This is a tough one. Man, This is tough. I mean,
you wanna be right, you wanna My heart and my
brain are telling me different things.
Speaker 7 (47:12):
At least here.
Speaker 4 (47:16):
I gotta go with my gut.
Speaker 7 (47:18):
My gut says the Dallas Cowboys will win this game.
Speaker 6 (47:20):
Wow, thirty three thirty one in a tight game, and
a tight that would be awesome. I have holy Cowboys
And in the immortal words of one Hekma Harrison, Okay
Cowboys Nation, A hope your team wins.
Speaker 4 (47:33):
There you go. You can catch heckm on mix shots
every day Monday through Friday.
Speaker 3 (47:38):
I'm kind of in the same boat where my gut
actually feels kind of good about this game.
Speaker 4 (47:43):
I don't have the bubble guts for this game I
did last week.
Speaker 3 (47:46):
I said it last week, even though Chicago was zero
and two and they weren't playing very well, I still
kind of felt like there was something off about that game.
Speaker 4 (47:55):
I'd have the begs for GB No, No, that's a
good one. Not this week.
Speaker 3 (48:00):
But I still am going to pick the Packers, just
because I've watched enough of the film to see that
this Cowboys team is too far away, even though I
think it's going to be close, and I think they're
going to have a shot to win this game late
I didn't I didn't see the blowout happening last week,
but it kind of felt like it was off.
Speaker 4 (48:18):
I think this.
Speaker 3 (48:18):
Week's going to be a whole lot closer. But Green
Bay is going to kick a game winning field goal
at the end of it to win it. Twenty seven
twenty four final score, green Bay with the win.
Speaker 8 (48:30):
And you guys are a lot more optimistic than I am.
I think this is a complete and utter mismatch. I've
been wrong before. I was wrong last week. I thought
it was going to be a shootout last week it
ended up being it on once.
Speaker 4 (48:41):
On one side.
Speaker 9 (48:43):
Look, I think Green Bay is one of the best
teams in the league. I think they have the best
defense in the league, and they supercharged it when they.
Speaker 8 (48:49):
Added Michael Parsons.
Speaker 9 (48:50):
And you know, Dallas down two starting offensive linemen, they're
down their best receiver. Not that George Pickens can't help
carry the load. I think this is going to be
way too much to hand. I think the Packers win
this one thirty five to ten.
Speaker 4 (49:02):
Thirty five to ten.
Speaker 3 (49:03):
Patrick had Packers winning at thirty seven twenty four. So
he's right around the same thought process, except you you
have ten points on the board no offense either.
Speaker 9 (49:14):
Now, well, I really think that you know, if pressure
is getting in on Dak, then don't I don't know
if there's going to be a lot that he can do.
He was hitting the check down well last week against Chicago,
but these tackles Tyler Gutton and Terrence Steele have really
struggled and they're about to face the best pass rush
that they'll see maybe all year all year, and it's
one of their former teammates.
Speaker 4 (49:33):
So who knows that to attack them.
Speaker 6 (49:36):
This is uh.
Speaker 8 (49:37):
I mean, you know you've seen this guy in practice.
They know how good he is.
Speaker 9 (49:42):
Right, They had to practice against him for four years
and practicing against him has made them better.
Speaker 8 (49:48):
And now you got to deal with him.
Speaker 9 (49:49):
He had to deal with Rashaun Gary, who now has
this giant door open in front of him with Mikey
getting so much attention. He's got four and a half sacks,
already leads the NFL, and he's well on his way
to beating his career high.
Speaker 4 (49:58):
Yep.
Speaker 8 (50:00):
Yeah, I just I just don't think the Cowboys have
the horses in this one.
Speaker 5 (50:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (50:04):
And like I said at the beginning of the episode,
no matter how you feel like this game is going
to go, it's gonna be a highly emotional, extra charged
environment at AT and T Stadium on Sunday. I'm excited
for this game, whether it's a win or lose for
the Cowboys because we're gonna learn a little bit more
about this team. And remember what we've always said about
September football. September football is where you're trying to learn
(50:27):
about yourself. Then you can make the adjustments and continue forward.
They're gonna try and make adjustments this week period, or
else you're one to three. You have to win this
football game this week. It's gonna be a tough one
against the Green Bay Packers. We'll be here Monday, Monday morning,
almost at afternoon Monday morning to break it down for
you win or lose. Following Sunday Night football, be sure
(50:47):
to keep up to date with Tommy Yarrish on Dallas
Cowboys dot Com. He's got you covered on the website
all week long. We have pregame live starting from AT
and T Stadium on the field on the sideline as
Micah makes his return start at six o'clock Central. Dallas
Cowboys dot Com gets early.
Speaker 4 (51:05):
We decided on that. Yeah, five forty five or six o'clock.
Speaker 3 (51:09):
Just check your local listings whenever it starts Dallas Dallas
Cowboys dot Com we'll be on regardless.
Speaker 4 (51:15):
It'll be there period, it'll be It'll.
Speaker 3 (51:17):

rsh Patrick Walker who started the show, Isaiah standback all week,
Chris Bean and Paul Pastiitas in the back of Kyle
Yeoman saying so long from Talking Cowboys.
Speaker 4 (51:28):

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
