Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hey, let's just starny soprano and you're listening to Jersey
Boys podcast with your host Dave Stciw and the Urns Boys.
I mean, I could give a shit, but the Cowboys
went New Jersey. These guys got bulls being cowboys. Fang
in Jersey. Anyways, enjoy well whatever.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
Cowboys Nation. How we doing out there?

Speaker 3 (00:29):
Dave Stcie alongside nationally known comedian Brett Earnston. Of course
the Grinch himself, mister America's fan, Keith Earns. The Dallas
Cowboys get themselves an improbable victory on Sunday afternoon. Just
crazy forty to thirty seven cowboys get the job done.
My voice is still hoarse. That's probably the worst game

(00:50):
I had to deal with in a long time, mentally
physically as well. Heart was tight, chest was tight. Folks,
family members thought I was going down a couple of times.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
It was. It was rough, but it's a win.

Speaker 3 (01:03):
Nonetheless, Keith, I know we had a lot of I
guess there's maybe a lot of phone under the couch
moments for you, you know, responding periodically throughout the course.
But I guess your knee jerk reaction to the Cowboys
getting to one and one and now.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
Officially in second place in the NFC East.

Speaker 4 (01:22):
Yeah, I thought, but I that was an awesome game,
and I, you know, it's kind of what I did.
I kind of said. I was not sold. I thought
there was a good chance. Week I said, go back
and listen that. You know, we're either gonna lose or
we're gonna win. I know Brett hates this, we're gonna hate,
but but we're gonna win by a little And that happened.

(01:44):
But it didn't happen the way I thought it would.
I thought it would be way more low scoring. I
did not think that it would be forty to thirty seven,
like I think my prediction was like eighteen to fourteen
or some stupid like that, or eighteen to fifteen or something.
But I meant so yeah, I mean it's I was
prepared for the loss even if he lost. I was

(02:07):
prepared because, as I stated last last week, is this
is what they do. They they'll open a game, they
look great, Dak look great, everyone looks great defense, and
then they come back and just like they did with
the Saints last last year, which by the way, was
a way way worse defensive performance, by the Cowboys than this.

(02:31):
Just want to put that out there. The Saints game.
You think so, dude, The Saints scored deven touchdowns in
a row. Yeah, I do think so. After the Saints
didn't the Saints didn't punt until the fourth quarter like
end of the game or something. Yeah, it was way
worse the Saints a game. But anyways, plus this game,

(02:53):
uh you had what's it called, uh we held in
the eighty five yards rushing, which I think we cannot
take that lightly because when you watch, when you watch
the Giants game, when you watch I watch it again,
those boys are running hard and they said they were
gonna come out running hard. They knew, they knew they
were playing the Cowboys. They knew that something to proof

(03:15):
Scataboo's like, I'm on the national stage now. Our boys
were hitting and very very impressed. I know, had a
couple of big runs the Giants, but besides that, man
were bottling them up. That's one of the best run
defenses I've seen from the Dallas Cowboys, and I don't
know when and.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
That was great.

Speaker 3 (03:36):
That's the That was Jerry's explanation to the Micah trade, right,
But he also did in factor in that. The pass
rush was also non existent, and I think Brett pointed
that out.

Speaker 4 (03:48):
It was, but I meant they were also. I meant
we sacked him twice, right, because I know he had
to in the ground one we had There were times
where we had him and he got out of the
h got out of the pocket. He was getting rid
of the ball fast. And that's the thing. Russell Wilson,
he had a game where he hasn't I think he
set uh. I think that's a record his the yards

(04:08):
he passed for. Yeah, it's the it's the most pass for.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (04:13):
So I mean you look at something like that, and
most of that was bone coverages by our defensive backs
I'm sorry, or Trayvon Diggs getting beat or whoever getting beat.
People are in position. They just were getting beat and
and and and Russell Wilson. Russell Wilson was was airing
it out. You could see. He was a man that

(04:33):
was like, fucking, they're gonna want to vetch me. I'm
gonna show them we're win, which which spit him in
the ass at the end with his interception, right, I mean,
you know he took his time and just went on.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
Yeah, that.

Speaker 3 (04:47):
No I was gonna say that last ball was like
a fuck it, Malik is down there somewhere.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
He'll get up and get it.

Speaker 4 (04:54):
Bro he he threw that when he when he I
believed the award with five seconds left, I meant, that's that.
That's that in itself, is is what you know, is
what bad teams let happen. That's what scares me. Now
here's my thing, and I'll let you guys talk. Were
they two bad teams or two good teams going at it?
That's that's what you have to ask yourself because I

(05:14):
and I still the most impressive things to me in
that game, the most impressive is how are besides Brandon
Aubrey right away? You know obviously he's If we don't
have him, we don't win that. Let's just put that
out there. Absolutely, we don't win that game if we
if we if he's not there, but our offense forty points.

(05:36):
Think about that for a second. Forty points. That Guyant's
defense is good. And I keep telling you due Brian Burns,
Dexter Lawrence, those those guys are ballers, man, And we
put up forty points and then we scored how many
points in the fourth quarter?

Speaker 2 (05:50):
On them.

Speaker 4 (05:51):
That is that's very impressive for our offense because if
you look at the not look at the Redskins, they
would they put up seven points or something that almost
the whole game before the end for Wilson's thrown interceptions
or whatever. But our office scoring forty points against that
against them. I think that that is the most impressive

(06:11):
thing that came out of that.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
I didn't know that.

Speaker 4 (06:13):
I didn't know we could do. I already knew Brandon
Aubrey was Aubrey Mac, so.

Speaker 3 (06:16):
Yeah, I mean, look, that was a bold strategy. Cotton
out of shoddy to run the ball to Jervonte off tackle.
They're like, let's set it up for that chip shot
sixty four yarder, and I was like, oh my god.
The confidence is through the roof for this kicker, and
more power to him. The story behind Brandon Aubrey is just,
you know, it's one of those things where it's like, Wow,
how is this guy kicking the NFL, you know, with

(06:39):
the soccer background and then the USFL, and it's like,
how did he make it onto our team? Is beyond
any you know, stroke of luck. But Brett, something I
need to and both both of you really I need
to put this out there as we always talk about
receipts on this show and you know all this other stuff,
but guys, Dak Prescott put the game on his back

(06:59):
and livered like this is one of those games where
you could say, like, Dak did it, and Brett, I know, Brett,
you uh, you know, you said you didn't have much
faith or trust in them at the end, and I said, well,
he got the guys down in position to get the
game tying field goal like that was that was some
of the best throws that I've seen him make in
a long long time. So Brett, your your reaction to

(07:20):
to Dak Prescott in this entire game and how it
looks because remember you were the one last year, even
after the Cleveland win you were like, you know, ship
looks a little suspect on offense.

Speaker 5 (07:30):
First of all, Dak in the beginning of the game,
and I'm not saying you do this, but what our
apprehensions deserve, like that, in the beginning half a lot
of his like Reids progressions, he was hitting short receivers.
There was you know, there there was a little bit
and again we don't know what he's seeing on the field.

(07:52):
Dak you know, played a great game I think.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
In a row.

Speaker 4 (07:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (08:00):
My biggest concern again is our defense. I mean there
was one play I thought we were in zone and
it was actually cover three because Digs had taken himselves
so far out it looked like we were in zone.
There was no over the top help. Now, I don't
know if that's on Digs or on the free safety. Again,
that's probably what they're going to determine in film. If

(08:21):
you're a fan of football, this game was fucking amazing
to watch. If you're a fan of either team, you
got a lot of concerns. The biggest was combined twenty
six penalties for two hundred and sixty six yards. And
the thing that really fucking irked me. We had three

(08:43):
returns and three penalties on three returns in a row.
I mean, it was a lot of undisciplined football. Both
teams were taking themselves out of position, you know, the
Giants going for it on that fourth and two instead
of taking the three. If they would have take in
the three, that that would have been the game. You know,
there's a lot of ifs and and what could have happened.

(09:06):
They got some made what was that guy. Five penalties
in a row.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
Yeah, he found the bench real quick, like, you.

Speaker 5 (09:14):
Know, we had some dumb penalties at the end. I
meant that that pass offensive pass interference one was fucking ridiculous,
and then.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
You had there was it was.

Speaker 4 (09:26):
Bad calls for on both teams.

Speaker 5 (09:29):
Absolutely, Yeah, dude, they the ref saved us in the
first half. The Giants could have could have ran away
with that.

Speaker 4 (09:36):
And you know, there's what did they think with.

Speaker 5 (09:42):
They said there was one the holding penalty on them
that was in the backfield. There was there was the
one where there was five penalties on one.

Speaker 4 (09:51):
Play was the opening drive. That was the opening drive.
So the opening drive, I agree there was Actually I don't,
I don't know. I mean, I know there were a
lot of calls, but I don't know if they were
genuine or not. I'm not gonna be I'm not gonna
sit here and just say that the refs were just
throwing flags because they were bad calls.

Speaker 5 (10:08):
But no, no, no, there was a holding penalty that took
them back that that was That was a little suspect.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
I think it was on I think it was like
and yeah, yeah it was.

Speaker 5 (10:17):
It would have put them on a goal line like
I would have if I think they they could have
easily beaten us by ten, you know, if we didn't
have a little help.

Speaker 4 (10:27):
And I mean, look, you know what when they.

Speaker 5 (10:30):
Called that on on uh on pickings, that was a
ridiculous uh call. But the point is regardless, you have
twenty six penalties.

Speaker 4 (10:40):
Too.

Speaker 5 (10:40):
You know, it was sloppy football. It was fun to watch,
you know.

Speaker 3 (10:45):
I mean, look the penalties the overall in football, the
sport of football. Penalties they ruined the game, right, I mean,
like when it's that excessive like it was yesterday.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
There was so many penalties where it was.

Speaker 3 (10:56):
Just like you know, I think the stat that doesn't
blow anybody out of the water, but it's like kind
of like, wow, I can't believe that. But George Pickens
now has more yards on penalties against him than he
does in actual receiving yards. Like so you know, if
Dak is throwing the ball to see to the George
Pickens and he's drawing that kind of coverage, that tightness,

(11:19):
and he's trying to make these spectacular catches, you know
every time he tries it. You try that and you
lose one of your limbs because you know your arms
getting held or whatever the case may be. But yeah,
the penalties in itself, Yeah, the Giants definitely bit themselves bad.

Speaker 5 (11:33):
I think there was a couple, maybe one or two
rough in the passers that I thought were a little suspect.

Speaker 2 (11:39):
But that conversation, that.

Speaker 3 (11:42):
Composition at home with my brother and my father where
that was at, Like, if you're a Cowboys fan, you're like,
all right, good call, good call.

Speaker 2 (11:48):
But if your you're like, what the fuck was that?
You know what I mean?

Speaker 4 (11:51):
Like, nobody gave a about that when with with when
when when John Wood against Buffalo, when we played Buffalo,
And I mean, it happens, It happens to quarter. I'm
not as long as I'm bringing up those but people
bring up the rough in the passer. That's part of
the NFL. Now, I'm sorry. You can't put your weight
on somebody when you're dropping on him.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
I get it.

Speaker 4 (12:11):
Greg Olsen is like, but greg Olsen's like, oh, I
don't know how you stopped from doing that. Greg Olsen
is always taking shots at us, by the way, but
I like him. I like greg Olsen.

Speaker 2 (12:19):
He's a good huddle.

Speaker 4 (12:20):
But my thing is, though us either like you don't
do that you don't put up a quarterback and go down.
I've seen worse to be called. Maybe not, but I've
seen way fucking worse when we're getting called for stuff
like that too. Let me win the game. That's it,
all right.

Speaker 5 (12:36):
Let me finish my point though that that those penalties
were a little iffy, okay, but the stupid ones concerned me.

Speaker 4 (12:45):
The talk like, you know, when when even with CD,
when when.

Speaker 5 (12:48):
He you know that that play we could have won
the game when he then he starts doing you know, you.

Speaker 4 (12:53):
Can't you just just just go back to the huddle.

Speaker 3 (12:56):
You know.

Speaker 4 (12:57):
It's the stupid penalties.

Speaker 5 (12:58):
There were those gray air you penalties that were like, okay,
you could maybe call that, maybe not call that. But
then there's just the dumb ones. And uh again, the
offense I think played great. My biggest concern is defense.
Our defensive backs we have no secondary too well to
know that you need to go get a touchdown to

(13:19):
win that heat. Three deep balls they scored on.

Speaker 4 (13:22):
That's insane. That's insane.

Speaker 5 (13:25):
I mean, are we in We're not in a nickel
or no.

Speaker 2 (13:29):
Listen.

Speaker 3 (13:29):
I watched the Trayvon Diggs interview in the post game,
and he said, there's a lot of communication errors between
the defense and the secondary. And he said that, you know,
and the proof is in the tape, Like they're not.
They're running a zone defense when they were you know,
a strict man defense when dan Quinn was around here, right,
And now you're trying to run zone in an ebra
flu system that they're not familiar with. And obviously you

(13:52):
have the preseason, you have the training camp to get
your you know, all the shit acclimated and stuff like that.

Speaker 2 (13:57):
But from from.

Speaker 5 (13:58):
A one touchdown they were in cover three.

Speaker 2 (14:02):
I'm I'm well aware. I just think that what you
talking about?

Speaker 4 (14:06):
What touchdowns?

Speaker 5 (14:07):
The last one, the one that put him ahead, and
you see they go like you see him look around?
So there, Uh yeah, that I mean, if that's what
he said, then it was very obvious because there was
no even covering.

Speaker 4 (14:21):
That's what I understand it was. It was Elan and
the safety. They both got beat. They both got beat.
That was an awesome pass by the way by Russell
Wilson and an awesome catch by Robinson.

Speaker 2 (14:29):
All of them.

Speaker 4 (14:32):
But I'm saying, if you you had what was it?

Speaker 5 (14:35):
They they know, you know, you got to get nineteen
fucking yards for a first down, and they and they
and they score touchdown deep three times.

Speaker 4 (14:44):
So I know, right, we're not arguing. I'm just saying,
is that you're bringing up like three different touchdowns. I
know they know. The one that you're talking about is
when there's fifty seconds left and we have to protect
the end zone. That's the one you keep saying, three
touchdowns deep. I know they had three touchdowns, but it
was a different scenario.

Speaker 2 (15:01):
That scenario. There was the last.

Speaker 5 (15:03):
One they needed a touchdown with fifty seconds and they
got it. The other one they needed I think nineteen
or something yards for a first down, so you know, I.

Speaker 2 (15:11):
Think it was third and twenty five. I mean yeah, it was.

Speaker 5 (15:14):
Third and twenty five and they go deep. I mean
you know you know that.

Speaker 4 (15:18):
You know that, right?

Speaker 2 (15:19):
How is that happening?

Speaker 3 (15:21):
It's pretty simple. It's it's pretty don't get beat, don't
get be deep like you.

Speaker 4 (15:26):
You got to.

Speaker 5 (15:27):
Understand though, sometimes like it's it's not on digs, right,
if he's supposed to get like a quarter of the field.

Speaker 3 (15:34):
I'm not just putting it on digs. I'm putting it
I'm across the board. The secondary was atrocious. Donovan Wilson
who comes up with the pick. At the end of
the game, you almost feel like, all right, you know,
all's forgiven.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
It's not because it's gonna get worse.

Speaker 5 (15:46):
That play, that play is how you play it. You
had somebody back there deep looking the hawk right, look
at look into it to get.

Speaker 2 (15:54):
Finally and it finally worked out in his own scheme.

Speaker 3 (15:56):
But towards the back end of that game, I'm the
to myself, like, if they just switched to man, maybe
we have a better shot, right, and then maybe maybe
we're not picked off over the top like we were.
Because if it's just man and it's just beat your man,
keep your man in front of you, then then that's
the end of it.

Speaker 2 (16:12):
But there was a couple of times and you mentioned it.

Speaker 4 (16:14):
But now now with but.

Speaker 5 (16:15):
With the zone, it helps with the underneath patterns right
with the linebackers.

Speaker 3 (16:19):
So correct and and and like, like Keith was saying,
the entire rhetoric leading into the game was this is
problem Russ's short leash, this that a third they want
Jackson Darton there already, like so he's just going out.
He's like, you know, what fucking hell with this? Watch
his moon ball I'm about to throw doing a bunch
of times.

Speaker 4 (16:38):
Three of them.

Speaker 2 (16:39):
I know.

Speaker 5 (16:41):
There was one long first down that they got as well.

Speaker 4 (16:43):
I mean, oh yeah, they were seven altogether plus twenty
yards or something like that.

Speaker 3 (16:48):
And again, what happened rut Wilson four hundred and fifty
yards pas what I think happened.

Speaker 4 (16:54):
I think the game plan coming in. I don't think
they expected that to happen. I really don't because he did,
and I watched that Washington game. I don't even know
if he threw deep once.

Speaker 2 (17:03):
I don't think so at all.

Speaker 4 (17:04):
That that is. That's what happened. That's why they were
playing so relaxed. That's why they were blown by everyone.
It was they caught us off guard. Now, what I
was going to say with Starch is exactly right. Dak
Dak being able to move the ball like he was
was reminiscent of the Seattle Thursday night game where Seattle
kept scoring.

Speaker 3 (17:22):
He actually referred to the ass Dak, have you ever
been a part of something like this before? He's like
the last one there, he remembers, like, this is the
Atlanta game that I referred to.

Speaker 2 (17:31):
But again, to your point, we were down all those points.

Speaker 4 (17:34):
Yeah, yeah, I remember whatever. I'm on the spot, you know.

Speaker 2 (17:38):
But it's a walk off situation.

Speaker 4 (17:41):
But he's not going to say He's not going to say, well,
the Seattle game, because you know I carried the team
on that game too. He's not going to say that.
So I bet, you know, like I said, yeah, I
love this. I love what I that. That's why I'm
taking most of this. That's what I take out this
game is the way the offense kept responding to win
the defense. Phil talking about that back in the first half,

(18:05):
like Brett said, the first drives, I don't think we
didn't get I think with six yards and plays or
something and three and out, but he did start to
step it up. And what really pissed me off is
before the half you had Ferguson drop a ball right
in his hands that would have got us field goal range,

(18:27):
and then Seedy Lamb drop a ball that would have
got us field goal range. Those are the things that
and that go that reflects on dak now right, that
reflex on on his stats as in complete, which would
have been I'm just saying so I'd like to say that,
and I was very upset with CD. But then the
second half, he that stupid penalty and then his whole

(18:48):
thing thing and then uh then that drop. I'm like, Jesus, man,
come on, he had some good ass catches in the
second half.

Speaker 2 (18:54):
Along with Pickings.

Speaker 4 (18:55):
I still think that didn't trust him at the end.
Tech did not trust him to watching me.

Speaker 3 (19:00):
All twenty two and I think Patrick Walker of the
Dallas Cowboys dot Com put out the video of the
of the run the decision to run, and Keith you
called it yesterday basically in real time because I didn't
notice that. You're like, ceedee, Lamb is running free, and
I'm like, and he just Nope, not today, buddy, like,
and he just took it himself. And you know, Dak
Prescott said it in his postgame uh press conference that

(19:20):
you know, maybe because he wasn't using his legs as
much last year is what caused him to get injured
when he tried to write like, so, now that it's
built back into his game and everybody's well aware that
he has the mobility.

Speaker 2 (19:32):
He's not a run first quarterback.

Speaker 3 (19:34):
He's not Lamar Justin Fields or any of these guys
are gonna take off run first, but the ability to
do it is there, and that's a lethal combination, especially
when you're throwing the ball as well as he did yesterday,
because there were some windows that I'm just like, that's pick,
that's he didn't throw one.

Speaker 2 (19:50):
Pick obviously a short throw.

Speaker 3 (19:52):
He he threw it to the Bot like the close
hip just wasn't a.

Speaker 2 (19:56):
Throw if you watch it.

Speaker 4 (19:58):
He was trying to do that tight kind of window
because it looked like CD maybe could have came and
got it. He gave him a chance.

Speaker 2 (20:04):
But exactly, I agree with that.

Speaker 3 (20:06):
And but like everything else from the Ferguson balls to
even even Tolbert puts one off his hands and then
comes back.

Speaker 2 (20:13):
And then that's something that they mentioned today.

Speaker 3 (20:15):
On Talking Cowboys on with Patrick Walker and those guys
like Tolbert had a bad drop too, right, it was
right in his hands, so you got to put that.
But Dak Prescott, credit to his credit, went right back
to Tolbert for the conversion. It's like, hey, you fucked up,
but here I am. I'm gonna put that ball right
on you again. Just make the play. And he made
the play. And you.

Speaker 4 (20:38):
What, I noticed that Turpin, like there were three plays
in a row when they went to Turpin, and I
think that's that's the reason that's happening. And we said
it is cause you got Pickings, you got Lamb, you
got Ferguson, and you got you got these players where
they're like, we don't know where you know? Then here
you go Turpin. Then that keep bring up and I
want to go back to the penalties again, because what

(21:01):
good teams do is they overcome things like and they win. Okay,
tell you no when Ceedee Lamb did because if you
remember that Ceede Lambs when he was celebrating the guy
getting past interference which was so stupid, there were two
penalties on the Giants, right, yeah, play it was five
on that whole play. Yeah, well there were two on

(21:21):
the whole I was gonna say, I was gonna flyn
so that that penalty. If seed Lamb doesn't do this
with his hands celebrate we're on the one yard okay,
but instead but instead where are we We're all the
way back at the twelve thirteen? What do we do
we score on the next play to Turpin on a slant.

(21:42):
We didn't sit there and say, oh, well.

Speaker 2 (21:43):
That's right, that was got a free play though. Just
keep in mind too, Yeah.

Speaker 4 (21:48):
The jumped off side.

Speaker 5 (21:49):
Yeah, And regardless of what.

Speaker 4 (21:52):
I'm trying to say, though, it's like you had you
had a situation the Giants did earlier where they had
wherever they got. They got to the one yard line,
but it was called back because of a hold and
then they fold. You know what I mean? I meant,
you know, you want to be able to person because
you've got to beat the refs too.

Speaker 3 (22:07):
You have to. It's part of the game. Am I
Am I wrong by thinking? Am I wrong by thinking that?
Like if there's if there is in that instance, like
five penalties on one play, like can we get rid
of the offsetting ship? And then like do math and
say like okay, if there's two here and three here
that the one team gets one.

Speaker 5 (22:27):
Look, if a penalty determines the outcome of the play,
then it has to offset, right. But if it's taunting
that had nothing to do with the play and after
the play, then just assess it, you know what I mean?
But that one thing negated everything. Again, I think Dak

(22:49):
played phenomenal. I mean, he played good, really good, especially
at the end. I mean, that's what you want your
quarterback to do, is to take the game on his shoulders.

Speaker 3 (22:58):
That's well, that's that's you special. It's about it's what
you've said about Ceee Lamb. It's like people are gonna
drop balls. People are gonna also throw bad balls. It's
when you make the big plays. Is why you're getting
paid the big bucks. And Dak Prescott two weeks in
a row, should listen, truth be told. In my heart
of hearts this this cowboy team could be two and oh,
they could be two and oh, but they're not right.

Speaker 2 (23:19):
They lost the game whatever. That one's in the backseat.

Speaker 3 (23:21):
And but yesterday Prescott put it on his shoulders twenty
five seconds left. I'm like, do you guys scun to
your heads, like do you have any hope in your mind?

Speaker 2 (23:30):
Like we're gonna get to the fifty and.

Speaker 4 (23:32):
Yes because of Aubrey. And that's the whole thing I hate.
I'm not shitting on Dak, but I'm like, okay, we
got we got a chance. I went like, okay, we got, Dak,
we got a chance. You see what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (23:42):
Well again, Dak Prescott went on record and said, wait,
so you're telling me he's like, with the new kickoff
rules and we get the ball in the thirty five
all I gotta do is go fifteen yards.

Speaker 4 (23:50):
Like that's not shitting on Dak. I don't know. I
don't know what quarter what quarterback? Maybe two quarterbacks in
the whole in the NFL with fifty seconds left, you
know where you've got a gun to your head and Okay,
they're gonna win. There's not many you know, so I'm
for him to do that is remarkable. But have Aubrey
is Just.

Speaker 5 (24:11):
Listen, the Eagles have their tush push. Okay, it's uns
they use it all the time.

Speaker 2 (24:18):
They might ban it after all the bullshit that went
through last yesterday. I don't know at that.

Speaker 5 (24:21):
Aubrey is our tush push, right, Aubrey is our cheat code?

Speaker 4 (24:27):
Yeah, which, it's fine, we got one.

Speaker 2 (24:29):
I'm cool with that.

Speaker 5 (24:30):
Uh. I was gonna say too. I think Dak played amazing.
Aubrey I find you know, obviously we're giving the game ball.
I'm giving it to Aubrey. Dak is nominated, Turpin is nominated.
Javonte Williams had had a fucking great game a pause. Defensively,
Solomon Thomas played fucking great. I think Kenneth Murray played

(24:51):
a good game. Our secondary was the problem. A big
problem in this game.

Speaker 3 (24:56):
And well, all right, so so going back to your
your Javonte Williams two games in.

Speaker 2 (25:01):
Obviously it's not a lot, but it's a small sample size.

Speaker 3 (25:05):
And when you have lost Cooper bebe for six to
eight weeks, they're saying, which sucks.

Speaker 2 (25:11):
That does sting a little bit.

Speaker 3 (25:12):
We're hoping brock Hoffman could just go in there and
replace and be as good, if not, you know, somewhat effective.
But Javonte Williams through two weeks has more rushing touchdowns
than we.

Speaker 2 (25:22):
Had all year last year.

Speaker 3 (25:23):
And Zeke led the team last year with three and
we have three. So it's like for him at least
Miles Sanders ran went in two yesterday. But do you
guys have a little bit of a heightened sense of
security in the run game based off of what you've
seen in two weeks?

Speaker 2 (25:40):
Keith, As far as Javante.

Speaker 4 (25:42):
I would say, I would say, but as an offense
in a hole, not just Javonte, because I noticed things.
I think that helps. I notice a lot of motion,
I notice a lot of the I'm watching plays out
there like and once again when I rewatched it, well,
you don't have all that emotion and you you could
pick things out, and I'm like, dude, that's a good play.
Like the you know, different distractions, everything that they're doing.

(26:07):
I think that has something to do with it. The
play calling does. But yes, I mean he's running hard.
He had that one run where you know where he scored,
and I mean, look, I mean, like I said, I
never saw any of them at all. Man, I'm sure
he's happy because he's never gotten all this much either.
So what I say is better than I thought would be. Yes,
it is, it is. But the offense in hole is

(26:28):
better than I thought it would be as well, So
I want to throw that out.

Speaker 2 (26:30):
And that as well.

Speaker 3 (26:31):
And that's kind of what me and Brett talked to
Jesse Holly about, is how we were comparing this year's
team before they took a snap, before they took the field,
comparing this year's team to last year's Bengals, where it's
gonna be some high octane offense, We're gonna score some points,
but how much can we stop them with who we
have on the field. And Brett had mentioned a good
game out of Kenneth Murray, which again I was like,

(26:52):
I was sold again.

Speaker 2 (26:54):
I've said it time and time.

Speaker 3 (26:55):
Again, my favorite thing maybe in the sport of football,
is a good open field to tame, Like when you
don't let the guy get by you and you just
put him on the ground when it needs to be
put on the ground. That's where I'm like, you're a
good football player. And I think Kenneth Murray showed a
lot of that. And I'm not saying he's going to
be this sustainable linebacking force, but what I will say
is there's plenty of plays where Jack Sanbourne was a
little bit out of place. Again, I'm not sure as

(27:18):
to what Maurice has to do to get on the field.

Speaker 4 (27:21):
I'm not really done. What has he done not to
get on the field, That's what I'm thinking. Of course,
he's a talent, right, so I'm trying to figure outoms
are tight. He may have lip with the DC. Who knows,
We don't know. I would put him on the edge
then just have him have him.

Speaker 2 (27:39):
I mean, the kid is a ballhawk, he's a linebacker.
I wouldn'tut him on the edge, but you know he's.

Speaker 4 (27:44):
Playing, is the kid?

Speaker 5 (27:46):
The kid is always around the ball. So but again,
we don't know what's going on behind closed doors.

Speaker 2 (27:52):
We don't.

Speaker 5 (27:54):
And let let's not negate that the Giants are not
a bad team. What What but I get out of
this game is really our offense. Like and I agree
with Keith, we looked so much better this year in
game two than we did last year, and uh, you know,
we couldn't barely move the ball. I think these first

(28:14):
two games, even though we beat Cleveland that way, I
think our offense looked good the first our first two
games this season better than last year.

Speaker 2 (28:23):
Oh without question.

Speaker 3 (28:24):
So basically last year after two games, we were one
and one. This year after two games were one and one.
But this year's one and one way better than last
year's one and one.

Speaker 5 (28:32):
So we that we scored a touchdown finally, in this
it was two halves of football we basically didn't get
a touchdown and then then we just started picking up.
But again, this is why you start your starters in preseason.
I mean, if you're having communication problems on defense, you're
supposed to figure that out in preseason, not team two.

Speaker 3 (28:54):
In Travon and you know, you know me, I'm not
going to go to bat for Trayvon Diggs too much.
But in Trayvon's defense, he couldn't play in the preseason anyway.

Speaker 2 (29:01):
He barely got.

Speaker 5 (29:02):
Into it, right, right, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
But again, but again, when we when we don't know.

Speaker 5 (29:08):
If it's Trayvon, if Trayvon is the problem, like even
though like that.

Speaker 2 (29:12):
One time we're down, Bland too was out.

Speaker 5 (29:15):
So let me just address this one point. On our corners.
A lot of people are saying, oh, Trayvon got burned.
We don't know if he was supposed to have over
the top help. We don't know if the communications, if
it's the safety's fault. We don't know if they were
pressing or if they were in man like I said
that one play they were in cover three, they weren't
in zone, and Greg Olsen pointed that out too after

(29:38):
I texted it to you, that there is some type
of communication going on or problem with our safeties in
our corners.

Speaker 4 (29:47):
I think that I think the reason people were saying
he got beat wasn't the touchdown, just the touchdown, because
there was that one where he was man to man
with neighbors. It was like a fade. Yeah, but I'm
just saying I think it happened like back to back,
so people just the average fan watching is like Jesus,
you just got beat you know what I mean. It's
like they don't understand the point you're bringing up, which

(30:10):
could be that. But I was upset too when I
saw it. I'm like, come on, especially when he got
beat man. He got beat Man to man. And here's
my thing. That is just the fact that and I know,
and I hate bringing this up, but I brought it
up with CD bro. He's our top corner man.

Speaker 2 (30:24):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 4 (30:24):
You can't that can't happen. I'm sorry, it cannot. It
can happen once in a while. But if it happened
two plays too, you know, two big plays in the game,
then you start saying, all right, come on, dude. You know.
But to Bread's point, this one may not have been
his fault. I know, the first one. He just got
beat by an elite, a future elite receiver leak neighbors.

(30:45):
But I meant so it happens, it happened regardless.

Speaker 3 (30:48):
Regardless, and to Brett's point, into the majority of what
we've been talking about in the first thirty minutes of
this show, the bugaboo is my favorite word. The bugaboo
of this week was the secondary and whether it was
communication or lack of skill or whatever the case may be,
that was that was you have you have taking shots.
Russ was taking shots because he knew his ass was

(31:09):
in the jackpot. You know, he knew that this was
Everybody was calling for his head after one week.

Speaker 4 (31:14):
So it's not like he just threw it up. Those
were dying passed.

Speaker 2 (31:19):
They were absolutely what I'm saying.

Speaker 5 (31:21):
He saw the broken coverage and when when you're in
the obviously, like he said, you got an elite receiver
on a quote unquote elite corner, he's gonna You're gonna
lose some of those. My concern is the same thing
with penalties. You're gonna get those penalties that are questionable.
It's the dumb ship. Like the florinoid penalty on the
return was unnecessary. You know, you you you have to

(31:45):
at one point, you have to think. And and we
had a lot of those. There was some that were justifiable,
some you could argue for or against, and then there
were the obvious ones. Those are the breakdowns at how
you lose games, and and and the highlight is Keith
texted it, and my buddy Chris texted me too. Cowboys
usually don't win games like this, and we pulled it out.

Speaker 3 (32:10):
And you know, again we've We've already talked about Aubrey,
we talked about Dak, We've talked about Javonte. The offense
was humming, and the and to put up a forty
burger for the first time and I believe over a year.
You know, it's it's a big deal for Dallas to
score those kinds of points. Specifically, when you have your
best one of your best corners out, you're you're down
over Sean already, like you know, you're depleted in a

(32:32):
way where you got to make up for it by
scoring a boatload of points. And they did that.

Speaker 2 (32:36):
So and just like you just said, cowboys usually don't
come out on top of these games.

Speaker 3 (32:40):
We're kind of like talking about this as if, oh
we could have had them.

Speaker 2 (32:44):
We had them, and we got the wins. That's a
big one. And the other thing, you.

Speaker 5 (32:47):
Look at the drop passes that Russell had. I mean,
I know Scataboo dropped a first down, it was right.

Speaker 2 (32:53):
It was yeah, a couple couple of gifts.

Speaker 4 (32:55):
Yeah, the one you're talking about, bros. When they he
jumped up in his hands. We hit him, I thought
they were gonna fall. I remember it was like inside
the ten.

Speaker 3 (33:04):
So you know what the problem is, watching today's NFL,
you have to like give it like a beat before
you can really celebrate the play because you're waiting for
like the little yellow icon that pop up and say flag.

Speaker 2 (33:15):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 5 (33:17):
What I hate about basketball is that sometimes you watch
and they call foul or whatever and I don't know
if for when it looks they all look the same
to me.

Speaker 3 (33:25):
Right, and a lot of these and to your point, Brett,
from week one to week two, you know, yeah, there's
a lot more penalties on Dallas and there wasn't week one.

Speaker 2 (33:35):
That does go to a discipline thing.

Speaker 3 (33:39):
But again you overcome those again if you can, if
you're a good football team, which I don't know what
the Cowboys are yet, we don't know.

Speaker 2 (33:45):
Yes, yeah, we're clueless. One in one. We've never had
such a.

Speaker 5 (33:50):
Lob say this too if this was green Bay Week two.
But I mean the Giants put up points, so green
Bay could have put up points.

Speaker 4 (33:59):
I'm I'm glad that we got this win.

Speaker 5 (34:02):
I mean, this next game coming up is going to
tell a lot, right as the communication on the defense
goes go ahead, Bro.

Speaker 4 (34:10):
No, I was going to say that if you look
at the offense again without that, I know Brett was mentioned.
Oh we didn't score touchdowns in that we had the
drop balls in the second half and fumble on Miles
Samson talking about the Eagles game. We cany easily put
up thirty plus on the Eagles defense. We could have
as we put up forty on the Those are two
really good defenses, and I really think the Giants have

(34:34):
one of the better defenses in the NFL. I agree
is a monster bro.

Speaker 3 (34:40):
Dude, the front four was getting home like they didn't
have to blitz, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (34:44):
So, No, that was so.

Speaker 4 (34:46):
But getting getting that. But I wanted to bring up
our defense and one again, the grinch. Okay, you have
the grinch who who makes calls sometimes and although I'm
ninety nine percent correct most of the time, there's that
one percent. And fuck man, I have been eating crow

(35:07):
or whatever the hell they said. I hate using terms
like that. You're both of you are not lying. He's
probably my new favorite player. Kenneth Murray. Holy shit, bro,
holy bro. I rewatched that game. That man, that man
is flying in pursuing properly and hating he's not stopping.

Speaker 2 (35:28):
Brother.

Speaker 4 (35:28):
There's one play where it was like a patch of
the running back if you guys saw it, but he
turned around, knew it was going and he just started.
We just nailed him, dude. So that being said, I
just so people don't know if you don't look to
the show on that free agent when he came person.

Speaker 2 (35:50):
Sorry I think it was freezing.

Speaker 4 (35:52):
I'm sorry it was a free agent whatever. I looked
at his pff raid and he was he was one
of the worst against the run defense. And Start was
telling me saying, you never know, it could be coaching.
Sometimes you get around another coach, and I was like,
fuck that. Ray Lewis, Reggie and all these guys. If
you're a killer, you're a killer.

Speaker 2 (36:10):
I love no matter.

Speaker 3 (36:11):
I love that no matter who we're talking about, we
always go to like the very best player ever in comparison,
like he's no ray Lewis, Like who the is?

Speaker 4 (36:23):
I just want I just hope that this isn't like
an apology after the Cleveland Browns defense when I would
be Cleveland with the defense and then we ended up
eating ship. But from what I've seen with him, I
meant that dude is that dude's come and play and
he's hit and I'm very, very happy with a linebacking group.
And I grew again what you said, starch with Sanborn

(36:46):
because he's getting in but he's it's almost like he's there,
but he's not making the hit. But he's doing well too.
He's doing well too.

Speaker 2 (36:53):
It doesn't away from making a good play.

Speaker 4 (36:56):
And yah, right, but what he's making a running back
of just though, which is good. It's not like it's
an open hole, you know what I'm saying, right, So.

Speaker 3 (37:04):
It's definitely a secondary thing. It's not a linebacking thing.
It's not even a defensive front thing. We shut down
the run again, they didn't even try to run. To
be honest with you, Scattabo had a couple runs where
you're like, ah, man, he broke contained and he's gone.

Speaker 2 (37:17):
For a little while.

Speaker 3 (37:18):
But like, overall, I think the Cowboys run defense in
the first two weeks have been pretty damn good.

Speaker 2 (37:23):
We just got to clean up the back end. We
got to clean up the back end.

Speaker 3 (37:26):
We got to make sure everybody's communicating and if you
got to make a switch to go to man or
whatever the case, may be make the switch now, pivoting
into a new week of football, because look we can
talk about and again, you gave up thirty seven points
to the Giants through the air. Right, had they tried
to run and be a balanced offense, maybe the game's different.

Speaker 2 (37:44):
I don't know, but.

Speaker 5 (37:47):
Twenty one of those points was when we knew they
had to go long.

Speaker 4 (37:51):
And that's the crazy part.

Speaker 3 (37:53):
It is because you predict, you know that they're going
long and were already.

Speaker 5 (37:58):
I have to remember when Aaron got that first down
on like third and fourth and twenty whatever.

Speaker 2 (38:03):
It was scarred in my brain forever times that by three.

Speaker 4 (38:07):
That's that's what kind of happened here.

Speaker 2 (38:09):
Yeah, it was bad, but it's left.

Speaker 3 (38:13):
There was also something, something that something that really should
excite some Cowboys fans if you've done some tape and research.
There was some business being done at halftime of the
game yesterday, and that's no bullshit.

Speaker 2 (38:26):
As soon as the game was over, literally.

Speaker 3 (38:28):
Like within ten minutes, Jerry Jones announced to all the
reporters that they signed your Davion Clowney.

Speaker 2 (38:34):
Now, to me, this is such a big depth signing.

Speaker 3 (38:39):
Or it's also them saying, okay, we like our guys
that were rushing out there, Sam Williams and Houston and
guys like that. That's great, But if there was just
one vet to get out there and help these guys
develop and make a Look, that's the signing that you
get with your Davion clown. It's a one year deal
worth up to six million dollars.

Speaker 2 (38:59):
It's not gonna break your bank.

Speaker 3 (39:01):
It's all incentive based basically, Like I think the base
salary is like three, so he can double his own
salary if he performs. Now, last year he was big
against the run in Carolina. The year before that with Baltimore,
he had nine and a half sacks, So the guy's
definitely got some tread on the tires. It's a big
signing for the Cowboys who are desperate need of pass rush.
A'll uh yeah, I know we traded Michael Barsons, we

(39:22):
get it. But and and just to your point, Keith,
you said it in this episode. You said that like
Russ was getting rid of that ball fast, so we
really couldn't. You know, We've talked about this time and
time again, like, oh, as long as you get home
to the quarterback.

Speaker 2 (39:35):
You know, the corners corners don't have.

Speaker 4 (39:36):
To work if Mike.

Speaker 5 (39:41):
Michael in this game, and and and I'll be honest, Dave,
I don't think Russ was just like fuck it.

Speaker 3 (39:46):
He saw there was a few I'm not listen, there
was a few Brett as you said, there were a
few dimes that he threw that.

Speaker 4 (39:58):
Saying Mike is in the game, it's the same result.
I mean, he was in.

Speaker 5 (40:03):
He was in the game against New Orleans last year.

Speaker 4 (40:06):
It's the same. It is it is. I think it's
more what you said. When I say throw it up,
I don't mean that he's closing his eyes. I think
that it's more what you were saying. You have an
elite receiver on you know, a so and so or
elite corner or whoever's on him, and he's going to

(40:26):
take that chance. I'm just saying he was taking chances.
That's all he was upscrew it. Elik neighbors this guy,
that's my best receiver. I'm going to take a chance,
but to put it in the best place I can.
That's what I mean. That's what I mean by three
second touchdown.

Speaker 5 (40:40):
Heard Olsen go oh shit, yeah, you heard him say
he's wide opening the scene, and and.

Speaker 2 (40:45):
Can we talk.

Speaker 3 (40:46):
I mean, like again, I'm not trying to like tout
or fluff up the Giants, right, but there was the
one touchdown the Elak neighbors where Diggs literally had his
hand over his visors.

Speaker 2 (40:56):
So he couldn't see, and he still comes down. What
did we gonna do? You know what?

Speaker 4 (41:02):
I realized? What I just realized, all right, one of
what is one of the biggest flubs as how do
you pronounce his name? A Ferbulous, the defensive coordinator.

Speaker 2 (41:15):
Ferbs Ferbolous.

Speaker 4 (41:17):
I'm dyslected.

Speaker 2 (41:20):
By the way. Go ahead, all right, what is too?

Speaker 4 (41:24):
I might not know this.

Speaker 2 (41:27):
Furbulous fuck.

Speaker 4 (41:29):
He's always a Ferbulous now forever, So please start.

Speaker 5 (41:33):
Spelling it like that when you're talking to us, to
Phineas and Ferbolous.

Speaker 4 (41:41):
All these people with the difficult last names. All right, sorry,
I have a bad last name. I just sucked. So
but I do know a lot about them. And what
I'm about to say is, do you remember when last season,
what were his two biggest flubs for the Bears before
he got fired? What two big things happened when he
was head coach of the Bears. He couldn't close now, no,

(42:05):
they couldn't close. No, no, no, you gotta be more specific. No, okay,
I'll help you guys out A fervolous was not very
good at timeouts. Remember the whole time out thing. Okay,
he didn't take timeouts. And the other one, which is
very funny that Brett said it three times. I mean

(42:25):
he keeps saying it happened three times against US. Was
the Washington game with.

Speaker 2 (42:30):
No time left. Oh ship, that's the.

Speaker 4 (42:34):
Game where they scored on like Jaydon Dan scored on
like a sixty yard bomb on his defense when in
the end zone talking defense. Funny that that's now we
gotta now, we gotta look at this because maybe his
defenses aren't really good at prevent just good at attacking.
If that makes.

Speaker 2 (42:54):
Sense, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (42:56):
But pivoting to Chicago, there was some breaking news that
came about three hours ago. Bears Pro Bowl cornerback Jalen
Johnson is out indefinitely.

Speaker 2 (43:06):
That's their best player on defense.

Speaker 3 (43:08):
He did a grow a nasty groin injury against the
game against the Lions, so he'll be out. The Lions
put up fifty two. The Lions could have very well
kicked the field goal at the end of the game.
And sure, shit that coach. You know there will be
some repercussions. I think if if the Bears have any
fighting them, they'll go after some knees or some shit,

(43:29):
because they put a fifty plus on the on the
Bears defense, and the Bears have just not figured it
out yet in two weeks. They got came back on
last week against the Vikings. This one there was never
a prayer, So now you know they're coming in there.
We were given the credit last week. I believe Brett
was when DeAndre Swift was running really hard.

Speaker 2 (43:52):
So they have a decent running game.

Speaker 3 (43:55):
Also, my boy Kyle Mnungui Rutgers, he's also got some
burn yesterday. But they do have outside threats. They do
have Caleb Now, who's getting better. I want to say
that you know, you've equipped him with DJ Moore, You've
equipped him with Romaduze, and I think that they're they're
duing tight end. Hasn't really done much yet, but he's
supposedly lethal. They have a good offense, but they really

(44:18):
haven't figured it out on defense.

Speaker 2 (44:19):
Keith.

Speaker 3 (44:20):
So going into this one, you know, with the Bears
being owing to at Soldier Field, I was talking to
my dad yesterday.

Speaker 2 (44:28):
You know, he's like the last.

Speaker 3 (44:29):
Time, it wasn't the last time that they win the
Soldier Field because they've won some games there.

Speaker 2 (44:34):
You know, we're underdogs by a point a half. Yeah,
I saw that.

Speaker 3 (44:37):
But the funny part was he goes, remember that game
that Romo played in Chicago where he was almost trying
to get off the field because.

Speaker 2 (44:44):
He was so cold. I was like, yeah, I do
remember that.

Speaker 4 (44:48):
That was the Yeah, they beat our ass that.

Speaker 2 (44:50):
Game, but they kick out of us.

Speaker 4 (44:51):
But that wasn't fourteen was the game that he went
back and destroyed.

Speaker 2 (44:57):
Thursday. Yeah, the Thursday.

Speaker 4 (44:59):
Nights after that Thanksgiving, both of those games.

Speaker 2 (45:01):
So it was just funny. It was what I'm just saying, Well, the.

Speaker 4 (45:03):
Weather, it's in our favor this time. Okay. The last
time we played there, if I recall, was I think
it was a Thursday night game or a Monday night game.
I don't know, I know the night game, but it
was lost to Trubisky on on a night game you could,
I don't know exactly twenty eighteen night, but that's the
last time we played in Chicago.

Speaker 2 (45:24):
We lost.

Speaker 4 (45:26):
But regardless, this game here does once again, I think
they're right on Vegas. Whatever they're doing, their commuter systems, whatever,
doesn't matter. They're onto something here. This is gonna be
another tough game. The Bears are zeroing to the Bears.
Bears played tough at home. They really do. Okay. This

(45:46):
might be like the similar to like the the Pittsburgh
away game lash or something like that. I think, once again, man,
that's what sucks about being the Dallas Cowboys. The Dallas Cowboys,
and I bring this up all the time. We know this,
they're coming to town. You're owing to you know, everyone's

(46:06):
watching this game. I don't care what them, I don't
care where the time slot is. Everyone knows we're playing.

Speaker 2 (46:11):
It is game of the week here.

Speaker 4 (46:15):
They're coming out like it's a super Bowl, even though
they're favored, and that kind of helps us that their favorite.
I'm glad we're not favored same because then that brings
it down a little bit. You know that that our
team is like, hey, what the fuck? You know what
I mean? But the intensity and we got to match
that intensity. Kayleb Williams is very similar to Jalen Hurts

(46:36):
without I mean, but he's still young Kayleb Williams without
the passing aspect of hurts. It seems like Kayler Wims
he hit the cross roll out.

Speaker 2 (46:49):
With that yesterday, which is ridiculous.

Speaker 4 (46:53):
Yeah yeah, But I'm just saying though, like that kind
of quarterback, so expect him to be running. They're probably
watching the Eagles the game and being I'm like, Okay, Caylen,
we're gonna use.

Speaker 3 (47:01):
Your eggs in this, and maybe this is a perfect
time for them to unleash Maurice as a as a spy,
you know, like and have him just shadow wherever this
guy's gonna go. Because if he's their offensive threat and
if he breaks containment and we got our corners running
all over.

Speaker 2 (47:17):
The place, you know what I mean, Like, it could
spell for a nasty day. But again, they haven't put
it together yet.

Speaker 4 (47:24):
Well they haven't, so I look at it and I'm like, Okay,
Troy just put a fifty plus on him. You know,
a Minnesota came back on that defense. And whatever you
think of the Bears, the one thing with the Bear
when you think of them, you never think, oh, quarterbacks,
running backs, receivers besides Walter Payton, of course, but I
meant a long history of stuff. Their defenses have always
been solid always I still do eighty Bears. Yeah, a

(47:47):
Bear is probably the best football team ever in the
history of football teams, that one season of a team.
But defensively, I don't know. I mean, every time I
see the Bears, like, Okay, they got a good they're
going to have a good defense, it's the Bears's the Bear.
I don't know how how good this defense is. And
we just went against two solid defenses. We're playing Chicago
in Chicago, when the weather well, when the weather's nice,

(48:10):
I like us to put up points. I mean I
can I can see it. I can just see it,
you know, after based the last two weeks and it's
still early in the season and we're still trying to
find ourselves.

Speaker 2 (48:19):
I don't yeah, I don't we lost you.

Speaker 3 (48:26):
In fact, I think they could get better, you know,
like with weeks in Rob, I didn't hear what you said.

Speaker 2 (48:31):
You said, no, I said, I don't think. I don't
see them.

Speaker 3 (48:35):
I don't see the Cowboys offense slowing down, right, If anything,
they're supposed to get better as the season goes on.
So the fact that we're seeing this in two weeks
and again I'm not trying to be little starch here.
But what I'm saying is they're going to get better offensively.
And this game's on grass, so it might be a
little bit of the Philly game, right like, But offensively,

(48:55):
I don't think there's going to be a problem. I
think it's going to be one of those frustrating why
can't we get our hands on Caleb Williams games and
or now.

Speaker 4 (49:03):
You know, we're not saying there could be there could
be drop balls that are interceptions or fumbles. I mean
there's a lot of shit that can piss us on sure,
of course, No, I mean so, And obviously when you
pick a game like this, you pick a game like this,
you're not thinking those things.

Speaker 2 (49:16):
Right, No, of course not.

Speaker 4 (49:17):
Yeah, I'm not gonna be Oh, we're gonna opening kick return?
Do we know that? So? I mean that's what the
term on paper means.

Speaker 2 (49:25):
Okay, that's true.

Speaker 4 (49:30):
No, it's gonna give myn You can go, bro, I'm
just giving my prediction. I'm gonna say. I'm gonna say, uh,
twenty four to thirteen US.

Speaker 2 (49:41):
So an eleven point win, double digit win by the
Cowboys put up twenty four points. All right, Brett? Where
you want to go with this one? When you're looking
at the Bears.

Speaker 5 (49:48):
I want to say again, the fact that we won
this game is huge.

Speaker 4 (49:54):
It's bigger than people realize.

Speaker 5 (49:55):
I mean, to start the season zero and two and
one and one is a big difference statistic. I'm curious
to see the adjustments. I'm glad we have a game
like this. It's not a walk in the park, but
it's not Green Bay and we could see what kind
of adjustments we make. I had a question though, how
bad was Turpin's injury?

Speaker 3 (50:17):
So, according to Jane Slater, who caught up with him
after the game, he had he had a neck brace on,
but he said the X rays came back good, everything
was good. He's just feeling a little stiff. So they
might hold him out of practice and make him like
one of those like game time.

Speaker 2 (50:30):
Let's see how he feels at the end.

Speaker 3 (50:31):
But he said he was in good spirits because everybody
was making fun of his neck brace. So I think
he'll be okay. Like he's one of those just like
walking around where he can't like fucking do anything, but
I think he'll be fine.

Speaker 2 (50:42):
It's the Cooper BB one that really kind of sucks.

Speaker 3 (50:45):
He's a he's a pivotal part of our offensive line
and what we could do. Yeah, but if you notice,
and my dad was saying this too. I don't know
about you guys, but those snaps by bb all game
we're low and they were like in.

Speaker 4 (51:01):
The gun a couple of times where they were.

Speaker 3 (51:03):
Like yeah and then Dak and that little hesitation could
have been the difference on a couple of balls that
that Dak was putting on somebody's receivers.

Speaker 5 (51:10):
So but at the same time, you know, we fumbled
one because but they'll get that exchange going and get Yeah.

Speaker 3 (51:16):
Brock, I'm a big fan of brock Hoffman's work. I
like him as I think he's a gritty dude and
I think if he just keeps his temper and check.

Speaker 2 (51:24):
But yeah, continue with your prediction. As far as the
course we.

Speaker 4 (51:28):
Saw, we saw what Dallas did.

Speaker 5 (51:30):
Again, We've had two awesome rushing performances by Javonte Williams,
which that's going to help in their game plan. I
like this type of team that we're playing in week three. Again,
I'm not we just got to see how they respond.
I don't know if shot he's going to be like
you know what he saw us pass let's focus on

(51:51):
the run game. My concern is defense and if we
can make those adjustments that we need to make, because look,
our secondaries beat up and you know we're where without Bland.
It's a new system. So it's a good third game
on paper. I love Dallas getting the points, but I
think Dallas should win by double digits.

Speaker 4 (52:12):
I think we I mean at least.

Speaker 3 (52:14):
By eight, okay, just based off of I'm a big
firm believer in like gotta have it moments. And much
like the Chiefs who are going into New York on
the road, who are zero and two, they can't.

Speaker 2 (52:28):
Go to oh and three. So I love the Chiefs
big next week against the Giants.

Speaker 3 (52:33):
Same deal here the Chicago Bears going back home oh
and two. They have to have this game or their
season is going to be up in smoke quick. Because
when you're in a division with the Packers and the Lions,
who are just looking like world beaters, your season's gonna
slip away relatively quick. So they're going to be playing
with a lot of desperation. But sometimes desperation leads to
force throws, turnovers, bad play, sloppy play these right, So

(52:57):
I think the Cowboys do handle business on the road.
I think they'll put up another thirty points. I like
the offense to hum but I think we'll give up
like twenty on this one. I think there's a couple
of field goals, maybe a couple of touchdowns DJ Moore
something something over the top. Right, We're gonna be like
scratching our heads, like why can't we get this right?
So give me the Cowboys thirty to twenty in this one.

(53:17):
But yeah, I like him to move on to two
and one and.

Speaker 2 (53:20):
Then obviously all eyes on you. I'm as known as
the Packers.

Speaker 4 (53:26):
Here's a question.

Speaker 5 (53:28):
Here's a question typical Dallas football. If we were two
and oh we lose this game.

Speaker 2 (53:35):
Oh, without question, we lose this game.

Speaker 4 (53:41):
Let's not forget something here. Guys too, are furboloss right, furberless?
This this is revenge game. He knows the bear. He
was the head coach last year. He had Kaylians on
the team. So that's the one thing that's in our favor.
I forgot that review. Yeah, is that you know he
he knows well, he doesn't know Ben Johnson's offense, but

(54:03):
he probably knows the weaknesses and strengths of.

Speaker 2 (54:06):
Absolute Ben Johnson's offense. Bro.

Speaker 4 (54:09):
But I'm just saying, no, no, no, no, you missing that point.
I meant he knows it because he played against him.
But I'm saying he doesn't know, like he wasn't in
the same room with him. You get what I'm saying,
That's what I mean. So I met, like, you know,
so he knows they have most of the players that
had last year, So he knows who to who to watch,
who to spy, who to do what. So that helps.
But bring that up the next week we played Green Bay.

(54:30):
We we should look at how he did, how he
played against Green Bay, his defenses, because you know, when
he was on the Bears, that's something we can look at.

Speaker 2 (54:39):
I don't think Chicago is that's that was the Aaron Rodgers.
I own you. That's been the case for a while.
I think Jordan Love owns the Bears too. So I
don't know.

Speaker 4 (54:47):
I've been seeing people online too. This ain't a walk in.

Speaker 2 (54:50):
The park, no, of course, not nothing. Yeah, Keith said yesterday.
Keith said yesterday, he goes, I'm looking. I guess you
looked at the schedule.

Speaker 3 (54:59):
There's not one game on the schedule where you're like,
oh yeah, it's we're going to take that one, and
that's that's alarming.

Speaker 2 (55:05):
But you know, that's one of.

Speaker 4 (55:06):
The easier games on our schedule.

Speaker 3 (55:08):
On the front half of our schedule is where you
have to compile wins because once you get to that
towards that point where it's like fucking Kansas City and
Philly again and Minnesota and Detroit and all these other
need to happen.

Speaker 4 (55:24):
You know how living this game, how it could happen.
Obviously the and this I'm not going to do the obvious.
So we have three turnovers, four turnovers. Obviously we can
lose the game with that. If so, if Caleb Williams
is benched or something and they bring other Banji kid,
that bad quarterback.

Speaker 2 (55:42):
That white boy.

Speaker 4 (55:43):
No, no, that's the only way you're.

Speaker 2 (55:48):
Saying, the only way we lose is if they bench
Caleb Williams.

Speaker 4 (55:51):
I don't want to say. I don't want to say
bench him. I don't don't want to any Malkia. I'm
just saying, something happens and this backup kid come of.

Speaker 3 (56:01):
Course, and then he turns into the backup from Philly.

Speaker 4 (56:05):
Have you watched him play? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (56:07):
I watched. I was a hard Knocks guy. He was
on it last year.

Speaker 4 (56:10):
I'm hard Knocks. I'm talking on actual real game, not
reality TV series. I'm talking about like.

Speaker 2 (56:17):
When he started his skill set. Yes he's good.

Speaker 4 (56:20):
Yeah, No, when he started for them, that guy was
balm in some of those games. He's been there the
last two years.

Speaker 2 (56:26):
So I mean he could put it.

Speaker 4 (56:29):
Like that. I don't know that's that that I could.
I don't know why, but yeah, of course, and that's
the that's the Cowboys m O.

Speaker 2 (56:35):
But the m O of this Cowboys team.

Speaker 3 (56:37):
Normal Cowboys team was a little would have lost to
the Giants, but they came back and overcame and won that.
So we'll see how it all plays out. Obviously we
got ourselves. I'm right now, I'll call it right.

Speaker 4 (56:48):
He's losing his mind. What it's gonna happen? Bro, I'm
telling you, I see it. Just like when I said
Micah was gonna trade and you're like, that's never gonna happen.
There's gonna be a clip that comes out. Are you
shipping on me when I brought up that bit?

Speaker 5 (57:02):
Guys, I'm going on record and hold me to this. Okay,
Aubrey kicks the seventy nine yard game man.

Speaker 3 (57:14):
On the on the grass in the wind, against the wind.

Speaker 2 (57:18):
Actually, so you know what, you know, there's a goddamn weapon.

Speaker 4 (57:23):
No, no, no, you know what happens too is that
it actually has never snowed in September in Chicago.

Speaker 2 (57:28):
Just happens.

Speaker 5 (57:30):
He kicks his He kicks his seventy nine game winning
field goal in this snow.

Speaker 2 (57:35):
In the snow, and he can't find his cleat.

Speaker 4 (57:37):
He's like, where my cleak go? He has to go
out theare foot.

Speaker 3 (57:43):
Is the first ever shoeless kicker to kick over seventy
yards in the wind with swirling snow. It's gonna be great.
I can't wait anyway. With that being said, the Cowboys
are one and one. We're happy about the wind. We'll
see if they rebound. We'll check out the practices as
they go this week and see the injury statuses come
back clean. We'll see what happens. But for Dave, start,
Yo Brett and Keith Earns with the thumbs up. This

(58:04):
has been another episode of the Jersey Boys podcast. That's
why he Gotta Go. This has been another episode of
the Jersey Boys podcast. We'll see you guys next time.
Let's go Cowboys.

Speaker 1 (58:14):
Hey, this is Tony Soprano and you're listening to Jersey
Boys Podcasts with your host Dave Starcio and the Urns Boys.
I mean, I can give a shit about the Cowboys
