"Formulas here. The Buccaneers have a plus defense when they're healthy. The cowboys haven't faced many good defenses that were healthy. Man coverage. And in the first matchup, dak was QB 33 out of 33 and EPA plus completion percentage over expectation with that formula of the better version of the buck's defense that plays man coverage. You also have to keep your eye on the cowboys starting center, Tyler, who is dealing with an ankle injury, missed last week that caused the cowboys to move the entire left side of their offensive line around their hopeful he can play. I do expect Dallas to show better offensively than in the first matchup and then last week. But it's not this picture perfect Dallas offense that everybody envisions it because dak is not playing overly well right now. He's feeling the pressure. We saw that last week a little bit and they just have not played a schedule of good defenses at all since dak returned. So this is a step up in class as well. And some of their running metrics have actually fallen off as well. You mentioned the injury at center. Some of the film gurus out there saying it looked like dak wasn't nearly as confident with some of his protections there in terms of getting happy feet in the pocket. The other injury that the cowboys have suffered along the offensive line happen a few weeks ago. And the ground game hasn't been nearly as dynamic since they launched Terence Steele. So we talk about offensive lineman for the most part as being interchangeable pieces, but for those folks that pull in one way, shape, or form like a cohesive unit, you break up any of that chemistry there. It can be a real problem even against the Bucs defense to your point. It should be better here despite underperforming, given some health concerns throughout the course of the regular season. Now, obviously, the headliner in this game and like we said in the NFC is going to be Tom Brady. You look at this box offense. It has been anything but an elite unit that's displayed consistency week in week out. I mean, this is a team 21st and third down conversion percentage 22nd in the red zone where they were fourth and 5th respectively over the previous two years. They've also struggled to run the football, averaging an NFL low 76.4 yards per game. It's the second worst among playoff teams ever since 1970. The one thing that Tom Brady's had to deal with is a jumbled up offensive line that hasn't exactly given him the best protection. Thankfully for him and his veteran savvy still gets the ball away

"That is not scored a touchdown in the red zone and its last 7 trips to the red zone. A lot of discussion about the Patriots offense somehow it will have to make due tonight without its top and leading wide receiver. All right, we'll keep an eye on that. We'll keep an eye on you, Adam, a Monday night countdown at 6 right here on ESPN. Also, our game picks for this pat's cardinals game is coming. Each week here on NFL live, we help the league spotlight the high school coach of the week, the Arizona Cardinals have chosen scooter, molander, from E smart high school. During the state playoffs, his number two ranked firebirds defended their only regular season lost to number one ranked Thatcher high school by beating them 40 two to 21 winning the 2022 three Arizona state championship. Congratulations coach. You are the coach of the week. Hey, let's get back to the cowboys host in the Texans on Sunday. Honestly, kind of thought this game would be a snoozer, but turns out the Texans, maybe the cowboys too had other plans. Second quarter cowboys off in second and goal, Prescott, checking it down to Tony Pollard for the ten yard TV. Every time this dude touches the ball for their offense, something could happen. Great feet on the sidelines. Cowboys take the lead 14 to ten after a dac interception, Texans on the cowboys 28 yard line. Jeff Driscoll connecting deep to Amari Rogers 28 yard touchdown the Texas lead 2017 at the half. Mid third quarter cowboys trailing by three fourth and goal of the Texans one. See, stop short. Great job by this Houston, Texans defense in that series saying four plays in a row handed off. You're not getting in. Okay, another Prescott interception fourth and goal at the cowboys three. Up the middle. Stop short of the end zone. The cowboys take it over at their own two. Ensuing series. The cowboys are driving. What would they come up with first and ten the Texans 40 and Prescott deep to know a Brown for the 18 yard game? Cowboys first down less than a minute to go third and goal of the Texans two and Zeke Elliott rushes up the middle, so the cowboys escape 27 to 23, but man oh man, it wasn't without a cause. They eked out the wind, but this new one NFL live, our Jeremy Fowler reporting that right tackle Terence Steele tore his ACL for a source of the MRI revealed the damage that's not good ESPN cowboys in order Todd archer added that still also tore an MCL. Man, the loss of Terence steel significant blow to the cowboys offensive line. It's struggled in past protection this season. Guys, Dallas has the second worst past block win rate ahead of only the colts. However, there is something encouraging for Dallas 40 year old veteran Jason Peters stepped in for stealing the cowboys game winning drive yesterday. He played well, right? 8 time Pro Bowl left tackle tyron Smith could also be close to making his season debut. We were talking last week about how he was back at practice. But Mina Dax struggles, then they were able to kind of eke out the win there. What do you make of all this? Yeah, I mean, this isn't why they struggled entirely, but I'm beginning to get a be a little bit concerned about the injuries. In particular, because their injuries that are sort of clustering at certain positions, talk about offensive line in a second, but the Los Anthony Brown, not too long ago, one of the starting cornerbacks for the season. They had already lost Jordan Lewis before the season. In this game, you see the drop off with Calvin Joseph giving up a big play very early on. And then on the offensive line, you alluded to, you know, Terrence Steele going out. Josh bell comes in. He struggles, arguably, the biggest reason why one of the biggest reasons why they were able to put together that drive was Jason Peters coming in. Hopefully he can play that well in relief. This is going to be a problem as we look to the playoffs that teams like Philadelphia are ahead of the playoffs in December because those are teams that are capable of hunting mismatches. And when you lose players, there are more mismatches to be found at key positions. Yeah, I'm looking at this dak Prescott photo in our studio here. That was me watching the game just like head in the hands. It gave me a headache. Exactly. Well, Stephen a loved it. So Dan, let's take it on the field though yesterday. What are the tape show you about Dax struggles? That he's trying too hard? Because I would tell you that deck has been a guy that has always, for the most part, seen the field really well in cleanly and right now he's not. And it's in very simple things. You're going to see a three step concept day one install. We call this lion double slanted the bottom of the screen. The worst coverage for it is covered three 'cause that flat defender is already outside. In between the outside sling. You never throw the outside slant in that situation, but deck does. For some reason, then this bottom concept is stick up top you have a flat route and a stick route. That outside flat defenders the read. If he goes outside, you throw them high. Excuse me, lo, if you throw, goes, how you throw it low. I mean, that's a very simple first down read for dak all of a sudden, he holds onto the football. That's the fumble, the very next plays that interception that, in many ways, should have ended the game. And I don't know if it's he's pressing or trying to do too much because he knows the offensive line can not pass protected. It's just not a good past protecting unit. Does he feel the lack of production from the perimeter players that sometimes just the production goes down in games? It's really odd to see a guy that is a good player and that has had a strength of just seeing things with such clear vision seem to struggle with seeing very simple things. Yeah, for me, like watching this game a little bit, I was at a ten year volleyball game watching my daughter get busy, but in between, I was thinking it's just such an immature performance. And yeah, we can look at the Dallas cowboy defense and say, the Texans scored 23 points. This defense is to me watching the film is the reason they won the game. Standing up and boring they neck and a lot of situations where they had unfavorable field position because of this offense. Where's the explosiveness? This is exactly what the Dallas Cowboys did towards the end of the season last year from an offensive standpoint. Everybody kept putting graphics and stats up about their number one offense in the league and they gaining all of these yards. This is exactly how they looked when everybody thought that they would get bounced the first week of the playoffs. I thought some way they would have a resurgence. This team and to your point, Dan, it's time for dak to overcome those things. Like you are going to suffer injuries. You're going to have deficiencies this time of the year. The San Francisco forty-niners playing with their third string quarterback right now. You have to overcome it for you got to figure out a way to make this team a little bit more explosive or they'll be home watching it with us again. This new on NFL live too as it relates to the cowboys. We got they added a little bit of help too. Twice. Joining this team, I love this signing. Look at the big smile there. I'm gonna add him, get him on this team and listen. We're still waiting on the Odell Beckham junior situation, but they got TY, maybe they're good to go four time Pro Bowl wide receiver. Speed. I like it, right? Yeah. The offense doesn't hurt. Hey, still ahead, we're talking a little bit about Jalen hurts in those eagles, but he has been putting on a clinic. Dan is going to show you on the touch screen. The one thing that he's improved on that he's never seen another quarterback improve this much on. You don't want to miss this.

"This is where we have to get into the background of these guys because first off, you're talking about going from Christmas Eve to Christmas Day to just extendo Christmas. It's only right that for the class of guys that would probably need a seatbelt spender on a plane. We also get an extended version of the holiday for all this. But I want to give the edge here to Terence Steele just because when you look at his background, you see thoroughbred offensive lineman. This isn't to discount what lane Johnson's done, but we got to remember as he came up the ranks. This was a guy that for a while was a quarterback coming up and then a tight end to aid himself into an offensive lineman and you see it in the highlight, the hands still got it. The hands are silky in the spot, Pablo. And also, if we're being honest about lane Johnson and the climbing of the ranks, he couldn't exactly climb up the ranks of the stands, touchdown, Wayne Johnson. The right tackle. Is he gonna get up there, Katie? Can't catch up. Is that all? Is that a leap? I don't know. Which I don't know if that is a positive or a negative in the assessment as this as performance art. Overwhelming positive. None of this is supposed to look perfect. That's the charm. We're not supposed to be here. We're in a realm that we have ascended to, that we have no parts being involved in. With terrance deal for me the part that was endearing was he immediately went to his celebration where he said, I have waited for this moment. We clearly went through this on the walk through the day before the game. And I immediately got to the spike. Terrence deal with all the might of an offensive lineman, spike that ball so hard after catching a touchdown that it landed in the third row of suites. And then the mob came because the Dallas Cowboys response from the rest of that offensive line, Zack Martin, 8 years into his NFL career, jumped higher than I ever saw him at Notre-Dame. The whole group was so excited because Pablo, it really is when one of us makes it all of us make it. It is the full Wolf of Wall Street one of us, one of us here. And this really is the stuff you dream of once. Once you become a kid that starts to track towards this, I always tell people, I never played another position. I was an offensive and defensive lineman from the moment I put on pads. And a lot of big kids, a lot of guys that end up as O and D Lyman are that way. And so you don't have that time where you get to touch the ball and you get to go and potentially score and have people cheer for you. You're in the dark shoveling, you know what, so that everyone else can succeed, but we all mess around before practice, go through when wide receivers and quarterbacks go out pre practice to go, we call it pat and go. When they offensive line runs through it, we call it fat and go. And when you have those opportunities, we all try and make our highlight reel catch your toe tap and bounce, never thinking we're actually gonna get to live it. So often we see this stuff and the cowboys and the Terrence deal case fit this description. We see the stuff in the midst of basically celebration already, right? In the midst of blowouts, I feel like the thick 6 as a weapon of NFL warfare. It is kind of used to rub it in the other team's face when you're absolutely just smoking them on offense. I mean, I think of the bills and the chiefs doing this in the playoffs in their wild card games, Mike. They both threw to lineman four touchdowns when they were up real big. What do you make of the thick 6 as a source of humiliation for others? It's the perfect chef's kiss on what was otherwise a perfect meal of the day for these offenses. The chiefs are going to fake it. They roll to the right side. They throw a big man touchdown. Big man touchdown. Alex ready. Josh keeps without play action fires to the engine. Touchdown buffalo. The pastor rookie Tommy dial, the big man touchdown. They are porn and on now. Pablo, we hear all the discourse all the time. People getting upset when teams throw late in games when they're trying to pass down field operate their offense as usual. I am sure if you ask every defensive coordinator, every opposing head coach to a man, they would much rather have you throw deep to some normal skinny guy in one of these routes than

"And then they did. All right, Mike, but before we say goodbye to everybody, let's go through some of the really fun records broken in this 2021 season. 12 players this year, who wait at least 300 pounds, scored a touchdown. And week 16, four of them did it in one single day. That's the most in NFL history. Never before in NFL history have four, 300 plus pounders, scored a touchdown on one day. That was Dallas's Terrence Steele. The jets Connor McDermott, the eagles, lane Johnson and Jacksonville's will Richardson. Okay, legit when you said all of those 300 pound guys, I only knew one. And maybe most fans didn't know any of them or maybe the die hard ones that were watching, you know, it happened to be a Dallas fan or a Jets fan or a Philly fan. Jack, they would have known. But I got to cover Connor McDermott when he was in college at UCLA. I sought, I went nuts at home because he is like the nicest dude ever and actually one of our producers is a Jets fan and just because of that we just thought we would play the audio. Fake from Wilson. Here they come. Wilson to the end zone. It is caught touchdown. Conor McDermott going airborne for the jets. So much fun to see those kind of plays. Mike, right? It was awesome. It was awesome. Also awesome to hear my college buddy Spiro Adidas on the call on that one. You know, I actually teased this a little bit earlier and I actually knew the answer because I was working with one of our friends and colleagues in Rhett Lewis. I was hosting a radio show with him, and he threw this question out to me as a trivia question. With our newest unlimited plan, everyone's welcome.

Now I've got my own podcast, life as a gringo come at you every Tuesday and Thursday. We'll be talking real and unapologetic about all things of life, Latin culture, and everything in between from someone who's never quite fit in. Listen to life as a gringo and the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts. Brought to you by State Farm, like a good neighbor, State Farm is there. And I was ashamed because I can only name two quarterbacks that could have been in the mix, so I actually got it right, but that just by dumb luck. So I threw out this question about Notre-Dame quarterbacks. And a DD one Ian book started at QB for the saints on Monday Night Football in week 16. And lost. It was the 24th consecutive loss for a Notre-Dame quarterback in the NFL, which is mind boggling. And here's some of the guys Ian book, Shang Kaiser, Jimmy clausen is one of those guys. Brady Quinn, the other one. So red had asked me, he's like, who's the last one to get a win? So I was like, oh, maybe it's Jimmy, maybe it's Brady Quinn. I went with Brady Quinn, but it was Brady Quinn. And I actually had forgotten that he wore that Kansas City uniform. Beat Cam Newton's Carolina squad back in 2012. It is wild. My birthday. Oh. It's my birthday. I remember that. So you remember that exact moment. You're probably on a football field somewhere, covering a game on your birthday. Knowing you. But this is kind of wild. Notre-Dame's starting quarterbacks during that 24 game losing streak, O one 24 clearly, 54% completion percentage, 15 touchdown passes. Oh, this is what's going to get it. 32 picks. Well, here's another little fighting Irish nugget before Tom Brady, a Michigan man came along. Notre-Dame actually had the most Super Bowl wins of any college. And that's because of Joe Montana and show theisman, who incidentally, when he was growing up in south river, New Jersey, his name was pronounced Joe these men, and it's when he went to Notre-Dame and they wanted his name to rhyme with Heisman that it became theisman. Oh, good no, I didn't know that story. Little fucking south river, New Jersey is right next to east Bernstein New Jersey, which is where I grew up. So, you know, these are things we just learned. Things that you get on the NFL explain podcast. That's a bonus nugget for you. Fans in Cincinnati, they have had some up and down moments over the years coming up here on the NFL explained podcasts. I will give you a nugget that will have every fan who wears a Bengals Jersey smiling ear to ear. That's coming up on the NFL explained pop. This podcast is sponsored by Kendra.

Back here on the NFL explained podcast Mike yam and Adi kinko balla with you. All right, let's just continue jumping into some of these records. All right, here's another bonus one, and I hate to do this one as having grown up as a Giants fan who wants to give roses to the cowboys, but we have to give roses to Dallas quarterback deck Prescott because week 16, he threw touchdown passes to a running back, Ezekiel Elliott, a tight end, Dalton Schultz, an offensive lineman, Terence Steele, and a wide receiver, Amari Cooper. This happened one time before and it was our colleague and friend who, of course, is also been one of our podcast guests. Kurt Warner, who did it in 1999. Got it done in the playoffs. Speaking of getting it done in the playoffs, my guy Rob Gronkowski got to give him some love passing Tony Gonzalez for the most career 100 yard games by a tight end in NFL history. 30 two of them at DD 32. I mean, that's just wild to me. How about this one? Do you know who the first quarterback is with a rushing touchdown in the first 5 games he played? I'm back. Cam Newton. Cam Newton rejoined the Panthers mid season and in his first 5 games back, each of them featured a Russian touchdown. Yeah, and he was yelling. I'm back. I'm back, which was kind of cool. Except that he went zero and 5 in those games. Yeah, we don't have to talk about that. So let's just keep this thing positive here. Longest all right, we had the NFL had its biggest season ever. The longest day of football in the last 50 years from the London kick-off if you missed our international show, got to go back and check that one out. But the London kick-off to the end of the Sunday Night football game 15 hours and one minute back on October 10th of 2021. That's

"Peyton especially didn't hold back going about coaches and stuff in a way that i think the guys at the main broadcast they of know that they can't get away with that kind of stuff. They can't be overly critical because it's the tv audience. And you know this may be the peyton and eli may really be a one off. It may be only them And even if espn decides to bring in some other people for the seven games they're not gonna cover the season or i guess it's going to be eight total because there payton in er sign up to ten games So at least eight weeks that there will be somebody else for for however many monday night games that are. Because i don't remember. I i guess maybe only have seventeen that gays because there are eighteen but espn has lost. Actually last night there was not the double header on week. One monday night football that we've we've normally seen as they made up for in playoff games just just reading comments here. Mad cat k. -gree agree with rj. Again just these comments. Dj these are facts. That still sore subjects must focus cannot enjoy the game until it's over. I exactly that's how i feel. That's why i won't watch this broadcast but it will be fun to watch because it'll be especially because the cowboys will trounce the and then we'll get to hear like peyton and the advice celebrating. Although and this is why i will actually be painful to watch last night pay nasty lie about signing the the locker in eighteen tasted and then cowboys stadium when the giants beat the cowboys in l. Payton is going to be like so you know. What would you be doing here. If you were going up against drought rob ryan. You know what i mean and then we would all have to remember that rob ryan was a thing that we had to endure. You know what. I mean that even eli was allowed to prosper again so like it could pick some old wounds is what i'm saying ally manning being on the call yet good. Does anybody have anything else. Whether it's the people here people in the comments anything that's on your mind. As the dust settles on week one week two begins in the national football league. Tony anything on your chest. I'm ready to see worried about the deal experiment. I said a four might not keep me up at night. But i'm thinking it might not again might lose a little bit of sleep over it thinking over johnny's anything spicy. You don't need to add to that problem so tom anything bothering you. Making you feel good. Make you wanna dance. Make you wanna sing. I know that we're overreacting to something. Because it's it's the overreaction week the fry. There's no eddie right.

"Of fame player but he he peyton just had something going on that i hope sustains that it's like that and i would love to see that become the future of how football game to covered i was. They'd have to find some other teams. It's hard to find a pair like that. But i was thinking. Can you imagine if you had that same format with tony. Romo and sean lee. Is that who you would take. If you if you had to pick like a wing man for tony. You'd pick sean lee. Yeah because i think he's one of those brilliant defensive mines out and i don't think he's charismatic. Though like this we don't have nothing about but at that. That's just a home thing for me but i just hope that we keep at least once a week. We could see something like that because it was inside. It was bred for people that are kind of more into the technical side of it. It was just fun of see that stuff and just absorb things tom. Legend danny phantom wants you to be muted actor. I can have not liking. Eli manning deluca. Ticks is tony romo and daryl johnston. I wouldn't mind that. Daryll scott a level of polish. Tony is great. But tony's like a puppy united. You need that that balanced. And that's why jim nance works so well I think joseph has the right answer. Tony romo irvine forget balanced. I mean that's not now you're really. Yeah exactly what. I was thinking. Actually would donnie darko. Excuse me this is a comment. I'd love to see romo in aikman. Because i don't i think we all went through a phase. Maybe i'm speaking of everybody where we hated troy because it felt like troy was overly critical of the cowboys. Maybe i've just heard you know. Maybe not i feel like i've developed a strong appreciation for the broadcaster. Maybe i was too biased myself. But i do think that the troy fantastic commentator. Alex says tony and peyton. Could you imagine the energy in that room and tom to your point here. Payden was magnificent. I don't i'm really not like bagging. On alive is easy but ally offered nothing. The best commentary was between peyton and russell wilson at the very end. Because they were they were the ones in synergy. May i mean actually make. I'll put you in spot. Peyton manning could peyton manning. It'd be better than tony romo at this someday. Now what hurt you if he was just refusing to confront that possible reality right now. Yes yeah. I think every i think every hour spent tony is now in this place where we all knew that peyton would be great at this at anybody. He just hasn't ever approached it and it isn't unique environment. It is uniquely going about it and that will be the cape that megan other people will do. Well he's not even there rela set the game romo's avenue it on the fly. Peyton gets to sit on the couch. You so but yeah and also it's like we. I feel like oh there are romo haters. I'm not gonna say everybody. I feel like we most of us are like we wanted tony to like get over the finish line and get a rings on the. I want them to be the best commentator. Like i agree with you and now he's like the coat the undisputed coat. It's something so peyton coming for this. Is it hurts a little tony. I'm into you agree. You know it's funny. You say that. I was just kind of thinking about it differently. Like the way i was watching it was the public perception of peyton. And eli as a whole right. Peyton the over preparer ally more the laid back like like whatever kind of guy right and they both kind of fed into that for me as i'm watching it early on payton's got a million thoughts wants to say. Is everything written down. He's got all bullet points in the is sitting there like where's the nachos. I'm watching the football game. And i might a couple of comments there but i thought it was really organic. I thought it was a authentic I'm all for it personally. You know. I i probably. I probably won't love it watching it the cowboys game because i want to be tuned in locked into my man cave but like every other team and every other game a mall in the listen to it so tony brings up an interesting point. Time that i side with and make up call you i. I will watch this live next in two weeks or thirteen days when the cowboys needles play on monday night football that night and some of this is like you know our jobs right like in that game made it difficult to create content out of for the for the teams involved specifically was incredible to watch an impartial fan. And because you're not hearing the play by play get tom. I know you hate every play by play guy in the world. Apparently but he'd that information to a certain degree but you're willing to surrender it in the name of the entertainment that peyton and eli broad however for the cowboys game. We all kind of need that. So my own personal approach to the cowboys. Eagles game will be to watch the game in. It's true normal form on the standard broadcast but then obviously rewatch the the peyton the live broadcast to see what we live in a day and as we can record things in ece make. Where do you fall on this. Because tony and i are team. Not so much for the cowboys game. This might be a stupid idea on my part. But i will probably probably out watching it at texas live so Megan will be dalla venting in a in the metropolis every eagles fans face it. If you if you had to pick one. Where do you fall on this. Do you agree with that. It's a little much for the cowboys. Game yeah i would say so tom. You're outnumbered how well. I i can't guarantee that i won't have to slip back to the me. My mom like tracking the cowboys. And greg's arline hate to see it because i'm going up because don't forget i write the immediate recaps. Yeah do the hard work time up is kind of hard to do and also i wanna say one thing. I don't think peyton is gonna be thrown tony because this is an entirely different format and it's something that i don't know that any of the guys that are currently broadcast it would be hard for.

I'm keeping an eye over my shoulder switch Riderless ny will be my. That's mogollon use that one to watch out for danger We don't know for sure it was this this just the opening week. A fluke weirdness sometimes happens for them. To blow out the falcons at badly. Are the falcons really that bad Do they really have their quarterback situation solved. It's all a lot of things to find out. And i think they they might be more of a than washington at this point just because washington is now without their starting quarterback whether although there is as mentioned kind an open question if that's really just kind of a lateral situation rather than decline so we'll have to find out with them. I'm going to wait to see the the interesting thing is a. We get a really good test on them. in san francisco. I was going to say this week with san francisco. Definitely more context. But you're right. Yeah we get to see what happens. This week against is believed to be a good team. We'll get two weeks three times. I i know there's a reason you're excited about three. We'll get there shortly. I promise Tony your thoughts on the eagles do you. Are they the second best team in the division. Now because it's now hard to be better than the giants i mean. I personally thought philly was the second best team coming into it. I did not by their fitzpatrick hype. Like talked about and i talked about. So where are you at on the eagles You know for me. it's your week. One is always leaves a little more question marks than answers. I you know. I think atlanta would be very good this year. But i didn't think there'd be that bad so you kind of looking at it and you're saying okay. Is this more indicative of how the philadelphia eagles are gonna be in two thousand twenty one or more an indictment on how atlanta's going to be so you know not the jump ahead but like they go to against the forty niners. They go week. Three against the cowboys. And then they're playing the chiefs so they're going find out how good they are. Tonys let's go you know they're gonna there's a real chance that is good. As they looked weak one they can come out of the first month of the year. One and three so you know and then we're talking about is really the worst team in the division jalen hurts. You know so you know i am the answer. The question I was slightly impressed intrigued by the way they played right. You know intrigued and you just looking at it and say okay lay makes it. They're not as bad as i thought they were going to be. But you just how good are they. I guess we'll find out next week and we'll definitely find on week three. I think you'll like this answer. I think they're just good enough to give them hopes before the cowboys ruin them. You know what i mean like. They're just that good. And maybe they're even good enough like i think they'll lose on sunday san francisco. I think you all agree if we can get head nods here. I know people are listening to this but they all nodded their heads. And so then. It'll be a nice humbling to drop them below five hundred in week three and then again. I think they're plucky. No pun intended to kind of be cute in the mix for that third now that there are three and a second year of it wild card spots and then in week seventeen cowboys are we eight. Excuse me cowboys. Just take care of business. And their playoff hopes. Yeah gobs forever needles forever. Tha that would be fine tom. You have been dying to talk about this since we kind of put together earlier today. Authorized to you i. It is tuesday. We will do these. Live streams every tuesday here on the blog and the boys youtube channel. Podcast them as well So tuesday is the day that comes after monday. Look at me. i'm smart man. I knew that which means monday night. Football was last night the first flight on monday night. Football this year in two thousand twenty one. I feel so bad for steve. Levy brand receipt and louis riddick. Because i don't know anybody that watched them on monday night instead. Everybody chose to peyton manning. Eli manning at a weird point in time charles barkley. Ray lewis was there travis. Kelsey jabs kelsey actually might think he's on. The couch thought that they were playing the chargers this week. So there's that and russell wilson tom the manning broadcast has been credibly well received and they will simulcast the cowboys eagles game in week. Three which is on monday night football. I have a take on this. But tom go i well i found that one of the it may be the best commentary i've seen because they weren't sitting there giving us the play by play. Which if if you're like me sometimes you get irritated because the play by play guy. Just get stuff wrong and down distance wrong and so he got six yards in the guy actually got eight yards and all that kind of stuff and they were just sitting there dissecting stuff and doing beautifully and telling hilarious stories along the way and not holding back. When they saw bad coaching they came right out and said that was a horrible decision. How can they do that. And and just the reactions. They were showing the emotions. The when when the Would a car through that Interception in overtime that looked like it was going to blow the game for them. Very actions was the reaction just horrified. Eon manning peyton just disappeared because he been put his head between his legs. That was such a great courage. And i want to hear them. Talk about the cowboys. Because i will believe what they say among that prescott and what they'll say about jalen hurts and what they'll say about the coaching and all that stuff because what they said was so credible and made so much. Since the first time out. I was stunned. I actually found myself starting to like ally manning because he he knows better than i ever dreamed aloud in a be you know. I'll never.

"You're brave enough noon. I was gonna say to in six on with dallas young there. I can see them beating the giants. And i could see them. Taking the atlanta game or denver. Amazing is washington is favored for their thursday night. Game against new york. They are at the moment. We're having this conversation. Two days removed from losing their starting quarterback and they are favored over new york giants team. That is pretty much fully healthy at least on offense which is amazing. You had a heartache. No hidden on job like suck something i like. I was just kinda surprised that they were like yeah. Ryan fitzpatrick agreed. So was this not like in the cards down the line anyways where they feel like they probably have prepared for this scenario. And i don't know how bad they actually are gonna look so we'll see tony. You didn't totally pay a record in six one seven oh a danni has amended. His selection by the way says fine. I changed my mind. I'm brave enough to do that. I'm saying to and six. That's my. I think universally think they can still go out there and beat the giants would be really bad for new york and you know i think they get one out of atlanta or denver. But they're not gonna give. Both i agree burns. Says what does vegas no talking about. Washington being favorites in this game again. I've seen the line at three three and a half. I think burns. Vegas knows who. Jason curtis i mean. I think that's that's the answer and donny notes. As well the giants did swift washington last year. So you know. It's going to be some weird football on on thursday night. I'm very confident of that. At least meg. I want to go to you first year because if anyone's ever listened to gross talking boys you know full of energy full of sunshine full of good times lots of laughs but the end always has one signature line. Cfe e. p. f. n. i think the appropriate acronyms so may argue at all nervous about the philadelphia. Eagles who beat the atlanta falcons thirty to six. Are you worried. You're the top philly hater really ever in the world countdown. good job. We're all proud of you've seriously for that if you're watching. Are you worried about philly.

"Cool you see on there. I was helpful in putting together. Anything bad one hundred percent But so joseph says man digs makes that interception at the end of the game we would have a different discussion. And if and that was so close i mean literally touched almost alternatives his fingertips. I don't know how well you saw that they're even with your super hawkeye vision. Sorry thom But if he does make that pick then. I do think the conversation is dan. Quayle did it. You know what. I mean like this defense win. The super bowl trayvon two interceptions. It is truly a game of inches in that particular sense. I mean you still have to give it to digs like being there in. Like almost getting it. I i know i hate. We hate to almost arrogant so hurts but like last year you couldn't walk up to us and like hit us with the football in the helmet and be like take this and like have created like i know it's an almost but he also had what he had and pick earlier in the game. Is that right. yeah again. Don't have hawkeye vision like tom. So i did have hard time. Seeing that burns wants to note that hawkeye is the worst avenger. So tom. That was my point. Oh so it's like a self deprecating things time. Well i thought you were really passionate. I didn't know if you know if you were like an archer of spare time. That didn't know what was going on here. Seen something flowing flying around. And i'm a guy with the boa an arrow come on interesting. That was We'll try to get this back on track. Tony let's talk briefly about the washington football team who plays two days from now on thursday night. Against the new york giants super pumped to watch these two pedestrians. Tell you But quarterback ryan fitzpatrick will six to eight weeks with a hip injury that he suffered early in the game last week during their loss against the los angeles chargers. I am not somebody who believed in ryan fitzpatrick this season. Call me by comma home or whatever I did not think that that was the like magic answer to this team. I was thrilled when it was chicago. Traded up to draft fields and not washington but the next eight weeks for the washington. Football team tony. Our new york on thursday night at buffalo who will probably get right by then at atlanta. Who did us no favours falcons. You suck then the saints and chiefs at home before. They travelled green bay and denver before thereby they do host. The buccaneers after that by Is washington in the mix at all if they were in the mixed this impact them like how do you see. They're standing in the division at this point in time and burns asks do they sign camp so you know. I think this is deeply impacts. They rate i mean if you look at the start of the season. We're only one game in so you can still kind of have those. You don't want to get too high or too low based on one week of action I washington is perceived to be our biggest threat in the division and they just lost their starting quarterback for six day weeks for a guy who has taken grad glasses So so now. So he's out there and you look at it and it's yes they have you know equality defense and they have probably the best collection of front seven you know at least eline guys in believe deeply impacts the way that you look at it. 'cause six day weeks they could be. What two four. Two one five in that strategy one game. Do they win here. Because i fancy graphics tony look down but right now i'm looking at it. Look at it right. You look at the giants i mean. I mean that's iceberg slim. Says they will be right off the bat. So and i would love that. I mean i could see them. You know i guess the only game looking at it is new york and maybe denver. They give him a run. I mean i. I smoke in washington easily at mile. Stadium earth all right. Whatever suits right. So yeah i mean washington. By the time he gets back it could be you know tank season. Not really you know what i mean facetiously but you know. We're looking at a different a different way if you're sitting there at seven So tom what's washington's record. Going to be their own one here. These are their next seven games and thereby meg. I'm coming to you nick. So none of this like. I'll put me on the spot. But tom tom. We'll go through one by one winner. Lauch four washington new york on thursday. I think they've got a good chance of warning that because they are going up against jason garrett's offense. So best best possible great so one one at buffalo all right cool one to atlanta. I think atlanta wall pull themselves together after they let us down so badly. And so i say that is likely loss atlanta this tom all right so one and three new orleans and kc back to back. Oh boy that's a tough tough pair games man. I can't see them. It looks like jimmy. Us will winston. I actually have found coats that can get him to the operate efficiently. So i don't see them wanting that. And jesus still the cheese patrick mahomes. They're they're good. And then at lambeau well depends. O- at that point has aaron. Rogers succeeded in what appears to be an attempt to get them to been kim or not because performance in the opening week was almost deliberately to not go out and play a good game. I mean i don't know how to describe it Green bay looked horrible. So that i'm not sure but yeah that one that one could be a surprise because a rebate me about to be come really off the rails and then and then at denver after that i think denver can probably be so may at best i think they could be two than six but now since he wanted seven out of the realm of possibility at all. If you're with us live by the way on youtube please let us know what you think. Washington's record will be at the break their own one now they have seven games between now and then no Six games between already lost three four. Five six seventy seven games between that. So what will their record. They will have played eight games at the by very embarrassing. Moment for me Right there tom. You have them at two and six. Maybe and yeah. I think though they'll look into something. Maybe it's the falcons game. Maybe the saints game like maybe something weird like again. It is football but to be very clear we are talking about. It seem that we all believe is extraordinarily bad. We all beyond a shadow of doubt believed that they will beat the giants which is embarrassing for the giants. Make what do you think Dot says one and seven here Christopher summers says one in seven category where wanna see these baked goods maquette one in seven dallas. Theon arrays with tom. Who are you gonna copy. Here may one in seven to sixty on your own way. owen eight. maybe maybe..

"Continues the way. It's going for them but you know this is somewhat said. We tried to tell the giants what was coming and they didn't wanna believe it was coming and and here it is You know we couldn't have called it anymore. Accurately that that he has gone in there and his is just made a total mess of the offense of plan. And wow okay. tom. And i've talked giants. We're here to talk about. the couch. Should promote him to head coaching really. Just it's inevitable like is like we've seen this movie one thousand times. You know what. I mean this right now get right here but just give him the. Everything is the part of the movie where the girl breaks up or like like leaves. The nice friend in does something mean to him in favor of the like bad jerk. You know what i'm saying. And that's what jason gets really nice guy right kind of guy but you know in the moment we're talking about here. It's applicable to the success of a football team. He's the jerk and then the nice guy is going to be often the corner like man. Who am i going to go to prom with now. You know what i mean like. It's just it's a tough scene for the new york giants. I agree with joseph by the cowboys will make it to the nfc championship. I was shooting so low that. Let's talk about the super bowl. Let's you know whatever. Tony burns is now dictating. Our show says can we talk about the three force turnovers. Obviously the cowboys had last week. Four with the hail mary pig. I'm extremely excited about this defense. Other than anthony brown. Ouch so tony. I will say this. I got a lot of heat myself for the post game. Show really saying the cowboys only had one true turnover. The i was the demarcus lawrence punch out. Everybody agrees incredible job. Incredible effort. please respect demarcus lawrence. The second was the digs pick. I just don't think you can count on tip balls like that every week but good for him. I'm fine calling at half of a turnover. The third was the hail mary. Interception lewis had and the fourth kc forced fumble. Not exactly predictable. Either i mean helmet was the right spot. You know what. I mean to jar that thing loose but i mean it should be said that chris godwin dodged like four tackles before he got. It wasn't exactly a great defensive. Play so with regard to this question. Are you excited. Not excited twenty second ranked by the defense. I mean we have to temper expectations. Do we need more context. How do you feel about dan. Quick to me you looking. At the way you categorize the turnovers. I would say it's two and a half right. I mean diggs digs flying up to the ball. I mean he's ready to make the tackle and he's you know when you play that fast and your in your football oriented. You're going to be around the football to make plays a the diamante. Casey play is one that You know that's just textbook tackling. And in that moment i think the moment made a bigger and more unbelievable than it is but i feel like the safeties and cornerbacks of the type of people. Can you know stick their head in it. You know and get in there and make a play like that. So i'm appreciative. That demarcus lawrence says demarcus lawrence being tank. You know he. He's the type of player he plays at a hundred miles per hour. It hero fire so. But as a whole i was you know i was positive. I mean. I saw some positive things i mean. We're playing tom brady and a wide receiver unit. That can only really rival hours right. And and that's you're looking at mike evans and how trayvon digs leading mike givens. And you're you know we're going to have to touch base and anthony brown did against antonio brown but There were some positive signs in this defense. I think there is definitely things the work on but it looked like a faster more confident group. Compared to last year. I agree tony thing. That's all said mad cat k. korea. Who i think setting the comments is working on baked goods for all of us is what i read. The exact words maquette dozen doughnuts each of us but we'll see Tom says better to be lucky than good. Totally truth here. And tony mentioned. You're playing against tom brady. That context is necessary. And despite the fact that it's tom brady you also played against. What was the top rated quarterback performance by pro. Football focuses measurement. Tom brady the number one quarterback from an offensive standpoint from a passing grade standpoint. So again he's tom brady. And he's literally operating at the absolute peak of his powers. So you know you ran into fan with all the infinity stones on his hand at one particular moment in time. It makes sense that you would lose. So it is difficult to properly contextualized. How good or bad. This defense is are you with tony. Do you feel like you've seen some positive things. Do you feel like it is better than last year. Are you ready to say that you know doomsday has returned where you accurate. Yeah well i. I want to say that. It was a good point that there is better to be lucky because there is an element in turnovers with especially with interception. I belong ball made out of leather totally weird thing. We're things happened with it. But you know i'm of course looking forward to the in game since we lost infinity war there but we warmly. Tom who are you are you always hawkeye. Ask the but the but the whole thing is that. I think i saw more from the defense especially because did you. Don't you might notice the fact that the the buccaneers had less rushing yards of the cowboys. Did they had even less running attack and they had they would've gone by more. That's what yeah of course but last year. What was it that we saw killer so many times unexpectedly than the now just got shredded in the running game right. That is a very hopeful. I'm i'm also encouraged by how the secondary was in the right place. They seem to be going to the ball. They seem to actually understand the concept of ova balls in the air within reach. Perhaps i should catch it. Which sounds something that. They didn't seem to have as much of last year as they needed so. I think the defense has made some positive steps. I'm a favorably inclined in my judgment of dan quinn so far but you know. It's a very small sample size. We've got to see how they do against the chargers. Now but yes. I'm think it's trending upwards and i'm i'm not unhappy. I don't think we can depend on winning the turnover battle that way But the flipside is cowboys. Didn't lose any fumbles and remember how badly that her last year. So you know. There's two sides to the turnover coin but just speaking about the defense right now. It's i think the arrows pointing up for them may Much was made about. How trayvon clamped up Mike evans and you were there. In person was in tampa. Everybody's everybody you know. Caught her cool. Make was there. She was running. Our instagram may will actually running the bottom the boys instagram every game this season so blogging dot the that boys anything.

"Tom. You've come great popular act teams. Get a very important phone calls but tom. You said that yards a yards. I hope this will mend you. Said and say that points are points yards. Don't even matter. I care about points and so killing more understands. The quickest way to get to the end zone is through the air. It's not on the ground. And he wants to get into the end zone and he needs to get better at it from a red zone perspective. We've already discussed that. But i mean. I think more is more than capable of it. But it's a secondary priority for him in a vacuum. I mean i don't waste his time but spent his time focusing on running the ball in ways to develop run schemes because that is not the most efficient utilization of time energy or resources which having a ninety million dollar running back completely goes against by the way purchase. Yeah i i've said earlier that the the key is the cowboys run more. They run more efficiently You know which which means you don't look at what's happening with the new york giants offense and remember back to what we had to suffer through a or you lineup. And you show. Hey we're gonna we're gonna do a halfback dive between the center of the tackle. And that's exactly what you do. That's not what kill more going to do. He's going to be looking for time when okay. Here's where a run mike. Catch them off balance. Or here's what might make sense. Or here's where they've got a personnel grouping out there on the defense says we want to run the ball and go after that white. That's where you used the run and it doesn't matter whether you get sixty yards rushing or one hundred sixty are rushing like you said is. Are we getting down into the end zone are we. Are we getting more points than the other team with our offense and that is all that really matters. I and you know killing more won me over. Would he came out with that. I play the game from his own. Two yard line with empty backfield and they got thirty. Some odd yards to amari cooper. That was what i just whip. Yes kellen go and speaking of that play. Tom marks goldfield. Who will be doing series. Dak watcher blocking the boys dot com every week. This season broke down that play among seven others on the blogs youtube channel. Go check it out He goes really in depth in terms. Of what is seeing their why the ball comes out so quickly why it comes out to mark very interesting stuff. I will say tony. That context does seem to just the absent among football fans. And i think it's just the way. Football is presented on tv. And i don't want to turn into like that football blogger guy But you know football on television is just you know. Total yards rushing yards passing yards. You know during the packer saints game last sunday. It's the green bay packers at the number one rush defense in the nfl xtra. Yeah i wonder why. It's probably because they built up monstrous leads against every team because aaron rodgers on fire so nobody could run the ball against them. You know. that's that's why these things happen. These things can be easily explained. And i hope that's what we're doing here. Do you have confidence in more. Being able to run the ball or being able to devise a run scheme that can have success. Because people point to the zeke play whereas you make us mad miss and he doesn't they say they don't run the ball it's not. It's not all absolute one way. Or the i mean there's more layers to the onion to peel for that. Specifically zeke play. You know blake jaren picks that up. Zeke's probably walk in the highest step and is a certain things that you know it to answer your question. Yeah i mean callum more in. I don't you know personally i don't care if callum more you know i'm to devote to the run game. I want him to devote to beat that week's opponent. If that means that zeke's run the ball nine times if that means he's run the ball thirty nine times at whatever like you said the yards acute. But the but the the windsor one with the points. And that's just the bottom line. And i think the more is going to get the job done. I think he's proven that he can move the ball around more. We're just gonna have to be more efficient in the red zone but that's a different topic. Meg i remember last year in this. This really backfired because he ended up back up with the cowboys. But when cooper rush was claimed by the new york giants after the copies cut him. I remember you referencing a tweet. Mine on gross. Talking boys like that total symmetry because i had tweeted when the cowboys kaku rush that it would be the most predictable thing in the world for jason garrett to claim and the giants did again. This looks really bad at this particular moment in time. But jason garrett's overall philosophy. Is you just gotta beat your man. That's that's that's that's what led to chaz green. You just you show that picture man. And it's it's literally believing in magic to a certain degree. May i don't know if you've seen this but saquon barkley was the least efficient running back in the nfl in week. One according to next gen stats. I don't think any of us believe that saquon barkley is not talented athlete at an incredible. Nfl running back but he is imprisoned. Like there's there's no doubt about like all the results screen one particular results. Yeah call him out. Jason garrett is not good at calling offense. Sorry that's can't put it together. I love it because he's not here anymore. So tony were. You surprised to see the giants offense struggle. I mean it's it's it's no tom. It's adorable it's just. It's it's really charlie brown getting over and over and over again. You're asking me if. I'm surprised to see a jason garrett offense act like a jason garrett offense then no i'm not you know Tom do you feel bad for saquon. Barkley no wow so heartless. A great counseling. But because i wanna make sure that we've got a couple wins there in the nfc east against the against the giants. No but yeah okay. They maybe as the individual until sad that he stuck in this situation It may he makes wind up seeing. Who knows how much of his career wasted under jason garrett I suspect that may not be very long if they have a the year..

I'm not feeling happy about it and i'm like it's just kind of a scary. How are they gonna figure this out factor for me. So i am also at shoutout to tony and meg team. Force obviously wins tom. Sorry i mean and look. I hope we're wrong. But i wouldn't say but most of the evidence suggests that this is a bad idea. Now again cowboys your high on him. They believe he had a great off season. They believe he put in the work. You've got strong etc And that's what alex says right now. I thought everyone's excited about steals. Grow since you've got so much work after coming in last year what happened to change. Everyone's mind alex. I think the answer to that is this is. This was not something you wanted to rely on. You know what. I mean this was. This was like when you're a kid. And you know you've got your pokemon battles going on all of a sudden. You've actually got a gamble. The ones that you hold near and dear to your heart. You weren't ready for that. You know what i mean. It's an emotional ride that you are not face head on i totally. I think you know tony. Tom and make all the great. We all believe in steel's potential future career. He's an undrafted free agent his second year. You know in the nfl. It makes sense that you would experience growth but to have to smash the glass here in week. Two against one of the nfl's better pass rushers is why we're panicked. Would you agree tony. One hundred percent. I mean like it's it's. I'm looking at tarrant. Steel as a whole and if i see him out danced a collins. It's nervous be. It makes me nervous. 'cause it's it's definitely a step back you know what i mean. It his potential what he's projected to be that's well and good but right now is what we need them to be. Come sunday right. And then you look at the match up across the field nica joey bosa who is one of the most feared pass rushers in the league and you look and you don't love that opportunity you don't love that scenario in front of you and it's nothing can start stealing. His development can be great. And we're gonna find out just how far and how you know strong. He's been working. Come sunday you. Just don't love. The matchup gerard s nice. Honest and hardworking individuals can be bad players. That is very true. Unfortunately all too. True and greg honest hard-working guys really all. I can say right now. Tom you touched on the run game. So we'll give ten still a break Which will be a sentence that joey bosa likely won't say five days from now but People were really upset that the cowboys do not run the ball more like like gonna purely quantitative sense we. We live in a day and age where we can send robots to all sorts of planets. We can have face conversations with one another. You're you've got a friend or a significant other at the grocery store or they're shopping for something they can ride away. Show you what it is you know. We got apps that can measure you for suits for crying out loud. We got all sorts of levels of technology. But tom people are still saying that. The number of rushing attempts in a football game matters in the year. Two thousand twenty. The cowboys had sixty a lot. Came off and zeke. Had one really good one good run. I think we a first down. The brunt was simply not working. It wasn't to the point and never going to work. Even if it was it was it was never gonna work in that game and even even though killing more called of a very small number running place dat checked out of twelve of them at the line because he saw at the defense had in realized that the past was the better option. He got four hundred three yards. Passing and three touchdowns dat was cooking. The running game wasn't and his kellen moore yards yard. We we need to quit getting so wrapped up about whether they're running yards passing yards. You just want to move the ball down the field. There's a lot of ways you can use screens. Short passes to substitute for the run game to be the the ball control offense. It people seem to think. And yeah you know. I don't have enough time to go into the whole fallacy of the. If you're if zeke. Rosa ball twenty five times a game. They win the game. It doesn't work that way. Zeke will run the ball twenty five times because they are winning the game handily in their handing it off the him to go ahead and get to the final gun quicker. Tony i as i'm sure you all did and everybody who's watching and listening did on the blog on the boys youtube channel by the way. If you're just joining us we will do these. Every tuesday throughout the regular season several. Bt's will sit around or have a glass you know. We'll talk about our dinner plans. We'll also discuss what the dallas cowboys have done are going to do what the nfc's looks like. The nfl is kind of a chance to to catch up. On a lot of things we will podcast these conversations for us. Well subscribe to the blogger devised podcasts. Now or wherever you get your podcast but but tony i again Everybody is here listening. Watching in some capacity had somebody in their lives say despite the fact that the cowboys lost by two points they they just need to run the ball more next time. Why if if they ran the ball two more times is greg. Make us feel your. Does the score change. If the cowboys run the ball more. This is tom called it a fallacy. But is this the most annoying narrative going on with the couch nationally. Right now. I mean without question. I'm not a proponent for just in your head into a wall and just you know and what did they say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. If it's not working right if it's not working. There's no reason to just continue to do it. That game dictated exactly how the game should win right. We're right down the end deck. Let it down. Trusted greg's are aligned to make the field goal. He couldn't make all we take the lead in. Unfortunately tom brady with too much time but to be to decide that they didn't run the ball more. I mean realistically. You're looking at a elite front seven and like tom mentioned dak checked out a twelve run place so that means they did call them. Dacca's made a smart better decision in the in the moment you know he read the you read the defense. He looked at the pre-snap read and he made a good call. And guess what some of those you know. Quick screen passes that a gopher six seven yards are runs. The designed runs..

"Five best guys doesn't mean it's the best five combination. Charlie's your five pledging on the field to be clear your best. Five is a methodology that led to chaz green left guard back in the day so not a flawless level of logic. There j. zari one says. Dj ouch seriously r. J. in whatever. But it says that i picked to lose to atlanta during the season which i did and asked if i would trade that game for a loss this week. Oh hell yeah like that has nothing to do with With the players involved. Here i would a thousand times rather lose to the afc than at the nfc. I don't care you know what the results are. Who goes into because it's an nfc win but to your point time. James says i'm not about moving zach if you get hurt at right tackle. We'll never get over agree with tom. That actually rather uptown but may mccarthy is not. i don't think he's on a short leash. But i do think mccarthy has realized that what he does incites people. Right like the pitchforks. Coming out quickly when the head coach of the dallas cowboys. Do you think there is any sense of motivation behind the we can't do this. Because if this blows up in our face it will never hear the end of you know what i mean like. We were already in. Some hot water was blocking the boys. 'cause we're greg guys you know what mean but if we get back martin hurt at not. His natural position tom. Rile is going to kill us next week. Is that anything that they are concerned about. Or should they be concerned about in your mind on doubt it. I'd i wouldn't be surprised if that's something that he like has in the back of his head but i don't think that would go into his decision making so much because you're going to be making a lot of wild moves if that's just okay. That's fair ultimately will answer this on a scale of one to ten and we'll go counterclockwise tony with ten being the ten. You have a solid night's sleep. It's like you had a big warm glass of milk right before you just close your eyes. You wake up in move muscle just the like totally sat there. An age thing. One being tossed and turned on nights slept two hours when needed to sleep. Eight one to ten where yet ontarians steel at right tackle this week for yet. I'm not sleeping comfortably. Probably not tossing and turning down to air maybe fluffed the pillows. Just a little uncomfortable. Yeah i'm an ac nfl guy. So maybe get both going. But but you like tom kind of said earlier You you have trust in calla more. Are they going to be able to scheme. This up in a may not be another. Big game for ezekiel elliott. But he's gonna you know he's got earned his paycheck in the in the past blocking My big thing is return. Steelers is and i'm super nervous. I just don't want him to to mess up the flow of this offense right. I mean we seen what they can do against a super bowl championship. Type defense The chargers oh to be respected but you know terrorist. They'll go out there and let's not. He named called a few times. So tony's at a four. Tom antonio is that too. So even less confident. Tony where you at. It sounds like you tom. If you went through everything did and you don't say something around seven we're gonna call you liar. Okay quit predicting stop because it makes it sound like i'm just grabbing the number from you at seven was the number that was in my head. I'm not you know. I'm i have concerns. I have a little bit of worries. You know but you know it just means that i woke up Lay there for fifteen twenty minutes with stuff. Running in my head memorial drifted back off right So i i wanna see what what killing more and and joe philbin can do with this. You know. I think philbin is somebody we haven't mentioned and hopefully he had a lot of input in this and his input was right because i think he he did a fairly remarkable job just keeping things even semi held together last year with all that happened and we saw last week that connor mcgovern was not the problem for the cowboys. Offense and It's it's interesting to note that Apparently the to connors connor mcgovern connor williams antibiotic all wound up rated his top ten run blockers by one of the metrics must've been pf and that brings up the fact that we didn't see a running game against the buccaneers because the book nears have that incredible defensive front seven that just shuts the run off the the pass rush may not be as big a factor because hopefully ezekiel elliott will begin to contribute in his primary role of running the football and tony pollard. Might get some cracks at it too. So you know this may be. We may be focused on just one element of the game and forgetting that there's a whole nother element that may take some of the pressure off with that pass rush because they have to worry about ezek going to get loose on them Definitely not pf there on the rankings. But for what it's worth. Pf did half pass blocking perspective. Only two cowboys offensive lineman above the teams tight ends. I thought that was notable. They were tyron smith and the aforementioned connor mcgovern Antonio by the way shots at to all of us says great show guys love the content. We love you antonio we all love you. make We've heard a four seven. Which by the way tom. Seven l. upside down. And i hope that we're eating that next week.

"Put the five best guys out there. I think conor mcgovern at this point with collins. I is one of your five best offense alive and i understand. You don't wanna move to different positions. But if you're talking about an all pro right card. A real gamer zack. Martin i right tackle and you put a young khanna mcgovern you know right guard and now you got that offense aligned on this on the right side. There is solidified I feel like a dak prescott affiliate. The offense doesn't really miss a beat in you. Know zach a gamer. I you know i know. He doesn't prefer to be tackled. But he's going to get the job done using. I'm probably do it at a damn near you know pro bowl level. So i if i'm the judge here i kind of agree with tony. But you're impartial here. Because i've already taken aside. Do you agree with tom. You know like hey you know what we're following logic or do you agree with tony because i actually have a different take. Now that i think about it but you I don't disagree with either of them. They all point. You told me. I was the judge i forgot. Who is the judge but the judge has to pick a side. The judge of all right was to pick a side. I'm going to have to say that. For whatever reason this coaching staff decided that they didn't like the match up if they move stuff around. So they stuck in terence seal. So that's kinda where. I'm going here as well. Sorta teeny little degree. Why not kickback are not right. Tackle this weep this week. You have to play joey bosa. You want to adjust things next week when you actually have another day an extra day to prepare for monday night. Football on the philadelphia eagles. Fine a battle of attrition. it's not everything can't be hunky. Dory the ways that zack. Barnes awesome if anybody in the cowboys building has earned the right to demand what they want to do. Zack martin is on their shortlist of people who has however to your point tony. It's a bit of a different circumstance. I personally believe that the cowboys needed to have gone one. In one through these first games they do have a nice stretch coming up after that they got philadelphia. I know people are impressed by them. We'll talk with a little bit ourselves. they've got the panthers who and are cowards. The panthers punted on the jets thirty three yard line. I will never get over this in my life. That happened last sunday and the cowboys are going to blow them out. One hundred and nothing then they get the giants who are the worst offense in the nfl which is not at all surprised if you have watched the last decade of college football And then they get the patriots and we don't know what that is so if we allot tony her kind of plus minus of a game and a half after the chargers game. You have to get this one you have to get to the by it. Four and two after the bye. You'll get lyle collins back you get michael gal back if they keep him out that long. Maybe it comes back earlier. This is an important game. I mean i hear people say that because it's not like there are non important games but you have to get through this and maybe you adjust for this week. Specifically antonio says on the stream steel is not the answer he will get the change. This week i mean one hundred percent you hit you hit the nail on the head with it. I feel the same way about the first two games you know one and one was you know right there. I mean it's one of the things that when you look at the schedule like you said we three to six or three to seven right up until the break the bye week winnable games really winnable games and you know if you come out of tampa bay in los angeles chargers one in one. You feel really good about that knowing what you have coming up You like you said zack. Martin one game right apple. Can you tough it out. You know what i mean and then you're playing joey bosa right and and and we saw what channel jones it against taylor one right you know. He's not a one and you know joey. Bosa might be channel jones level. So i mean. I'm a little nervous and i know zeke's one of the best blocking backs and his his his rushing stats might not be there. But he's going to need to be that that second right tackle in this game. He might have to be there for us tom. Our friend lawyer herash from the land down under in australia says this is to your point specifically one move being better than to moves only makes sense when the overall talent level is comparable mcgovern might be your second best guard on the roster. Who shots kind of wins. If martin won't go. I would rather see williams than steel tom. Your response saint williams over there at right tackle. No no. I think that that's another great point to like if you wanna kick connor williams out. I would say a great point. But i like that option is better. I like that option better personally but i mean it is the same conversation about your best. Five steel isn't even your in your best seven arguably or your six sorry. Excuse me. I mean so. You can't call it your best five with darrin steele on the field but that somebody talked about the fact in social media that this whole fantasy football thing of offense that was michael mccarthy's quote last year to be very clear. Tom mike mccarthy was oh you can't play fantasy football with this step literally kick zack martin to tackle that we sell somebody else's also cited madden As an influence in this in that people think that offensive lineman can just shuffled around and plugged in anywhere and be belt. There's technique in fall. You know having learned left-handed disperse right ending. This and i you know you can't just be be moving people around all the time game after game You want to have stability is probably more important on the offensive line. That is anywhere else on the football team and at the quarterback and i just i still think that you know you wanna get martin into his his natural position at right guard now where he's become so dominant where is arguably the best garden football. Do you want to take the best guard football and put him out. Somewhere else I just. I just look at it a little bit differently..

"A problem I think that it gets the problem that can be fixed. Potentially if you see good things out of him in practice if we're getting him practice if we're getting him game ready. I didn't see that on thursday so kinda remains to be seen and i don't like the unknown so i'm not really happy with it either. Well then. you're not gonna like what's happening right tackle this week. That really is an unknown as much as it is known jerry jones again was on one zero five. Three the home of the dallas cowboys early on tuesday morning as he always is. I did not hear any plates. Clinking so no eggs this particular week but tom The headline from jerry is that tariffs steel. We'll be starting for the cabbage right. Tackle you talk about offseason decisions. Roster decisions cowboys signed talion sexiest specifically to be there swing tackle. We knew that this day was coming. I know that the you know the grammar. there's not great but i hope that joke landed. Anyway we knew this was going to happen. We expected it to be with tyron smith. Obviously his health has been the far less sustainable one prior to last season. Good for three or four games. Missed a season however lyle collins suspended for five games. We've been there. We've talked about that in at the first opportunity that the cowboys have to rely on a swing tackle. It's not the guy went out and bought in free agency. It's the guy who who tried really hard last season but ultimately failed and so yeah taryn steel at right tackle. Joey bosa is going to be a problem. Tom is this the right decision or should the cowboys have gone with somebody else. If so sometimes you don't necessarily have a great right decision chow. I think this may be. I actually think this is the best option. If i'm brian. Us is adamant that in seki is bad and beyond taping for insects but yet again to speak to the to me maybe he was actually just a bad signing just an old guy at the end of his career. That didn't have lifted tank. May allow hang out tom g but the thing the big thing that everybody is out there that want wants to harp on is. Why don't they move that martin at right tackle and keith customer government. Well i like that idea. And more importantly sack martin is not a fan of that idea at all. He does not want to move back out to tackle where he got hurt last year after having been pretty much iron may up to that point guard. He wants to stay guard and i saw an interesting point today. Let's say you did put martin out there. And then lyle collins comes back from suspension after the by the shuffle. The line again one more time in. Have you know two positions that are in flux rather than have the the other four guys still hopefully stable at that point and you're just putting collins back out in the starting job. I think that as as much as we might not like to realize it. I think still is the most logical decision at this point and as somebody said this is this is not the same coaching staff. That let the famous adrian. Clayborn six sat game happened because they would put a help out there for chas brain and whoever else came in after they pulled. Chaz green left. tackle This is not the dak prescott of twenty seventeen when that happened I have a lot of faith in killing more in dat in the offensive weapons to find a way to counter this problem and i expect them to have a tight end out there next to steal on just about every play so you know it's going to be something to overcome but i think what we saw on thursday night says that they can overcome this and as many people in a lot of people were very high and just in herbert. He ain't tom brady You know i i. I would argue that. The buccaneers had a better defense in the chargers. Have although the charters are certainly no slouches. So i think that this is just okay. Here's what you got. There's nobody sitting out there on the shelf that you can plug in bed bedrock at this point so this is kind of like the least worst thing they can do. Do you agree. Tony is always there. Is there a less least worst thing they could do for me. I'm unit a little differently. Call out top column out. I'm not gonna kala tom. Toms the man. But what i am going to say is i personally feel like i always view as the offense land especially what we now will we see. Oh we thought we knew from khanna mcgovern. Right he went out there and he and he played well he zone against a a really tough tampa bay. Front seven I'm of the mind of the best. Five and i and i believe zack. Martin to be you know a team player. And i and i know that right. Tackle probably isn't his his most ideal situation. But i bet you dak prescott would probably tell you turn is in his most. You know it's probably not what he's thinking right. Tackle got on his back his most ideal position either right right in if interview investors. You know whatever the thai insect if he's not the guy then he shouldn't be on the team as far as i'm concerned right. If you want the roster exactly why roster cutdown. That's a great question so it's like you said you know what i mean. If if he's not the swing tickle swing excuse me tackle the fired right exactly and you know if he's not the swing tackle you think he is you know what is he doing on the roster in the bind to think that you know..

"Extra point season back injury at back surgery. He wasn't able to kick as much as he wanted. I asked him how he was feeling how his timing was. And you know look. He didn't seem that confident. Allen chris he just said i'm trying to feel my way a little bit. He didn't kick much games. That all in the preseason so it seemed to me he was just a little bit off and percent confidence more tom. I'm kind of stunned. That michelle to foia would be that frank about greg's airline on the broadcasts last week. God not stunned by frankness. As i am by the coaching staff pushing him out there and knowing that he was in the shape and just going with him and and you know cutting his competition in camp and not having competition. There wasn't there wasn't bill no competition. They just didn't have anybody there in case he wasn't ready to go coming off surgery. I mean of all the the coaching decisions meet so may seem so far this year. This one seems like the worst With the most obvious red flags why this was not the way to go to not be prepared for him to not be one hundred percent for this game. I mean there's a good argued. Remade that special teams lost this game for the cowboys. Airline was a big part of it. Not only in the fact that he was missing field goals and extra points. The the buccaneers had three cut. A kickoff returns for ninety two yards. And that happens. When you're kicker is available to put it into the end zone so football. Outsiders released rankings today. Tom cowboys offense ranked eighth not a surprise. We really efficient performance defense twenty-second. I mean whatever. They were playing the box. We all kind of anticipated that. Tony the dallas cowboys special teams from delay perspective ranked thirty second. Which is the nice way to say. The bad way is to say dead last And a lot of the problems can be traced to greg's airline and tom's right the cowboys seemingly pushed him out. Meg mentioned it to jerry. Jones said this morning. I one zero five three the fan that he is still getting in the groove. Why why is he out there. I mean if the group hasn't been established you know why. Why is he. You know this this this to me. Tony feels like they're trying to walk this back now. They're trying to convince us like aol. He was hurt. What did you expect what we expected you to make the right decision. That's expected i don't really loved the the hindsight know point of view of it right. I mean if greg's zarin line wasn't gonna be ready for week. One should have been a contingency plan. It should have been ready to you know. Pull the safety hatch if need be and you know. He didn't really kick at all. I mean he didn't really kick through training camp he got off the pup list and it's and even through the preseason games are like this is you know this is not ideal we not. Many teams are going through Preseason training camp without having their kicker make field goals in iran. Its ugly head in the first game. I mean beyond the kickoffs. He la four points on the field and you lose by two and you do the math and you just figured like the type of impact. We had in this game yesterday on monday. Tom pal sarah from nfl network. Who we know. It's tight with mccarthy. Was the author of the mccarthy projects. And i don't think we've put enough stock into this. Tom pillow got an exclusive one. On one with nachos mike mccarthy by also dak prescott while in oxnard at training camp so again They are the best of friends Baton pillow cerro again seemingly doing the mccarthy said. Serlin had some uncharacteristic mrs last week. I don't think that's uncharacteristic at all prior to last week against the buccaneers greg's had missed an enormous amount of kicks for the dallas cowboys last season in sixteen games. He missed a kick in seven of them. These now missed a kick in eight of seventeen games while a member of the dallas cowboys. Do you subscribe to the notion that this is. This is nepotism for lack of a better. This john fossils guy so the cowboys wanted support him despite whatever the cost may be even if they are sacrificing a potential win on the road against the world champs. I mean it definitely is nepotism. I don't subscribe to it. You subscribe to that it's happening. You're not autism. And the fact that they're going so far as to say it's uncharacteristic sure. I wanna give them more time. Sure you should have actually given him more time in. Had someone at least start this season if your guys not ready off the back surgery baxter's of big deal. I mean just ask really any cowboys star player over the last decade Unfortunately tom the question from mad cat. Catering i don't know if this is an actual place and establishment if it is i think we should check it out like if there's a you know some baked goods. We can work on here but right exactly tom. The question for mad cow cake is llerena any better. I wanna butcher this now and forevermore but the cowboys on monday brought the rim harrell who back to their practice squad again technically competition. You were the one who called that. I know you did it somewhat ingest but i mean this is not you know kai forbath ten ten during three games that he played with the guy was in two thousand nine hundred. That's not the answer. I'm not saying that. But the point is that clicker is can be found is rim that guy in your mind or do we need to find out if he's back at least hopefully on is going to be better this week soon. They won't need to worry about that. But yeah you know what. What assurances do we have that. It's certainly an open question. And i would have to say we'll firsov lorraine's probably a lot healthier. Maybe it would be worth trying to a to put somebody out there just because we saw what happened in baby gives her line a right on the ira just to let him get healthy and get ready to go. And i know that that upset you. Because i think that would really upset me. That would be like a glaring admission of failure. If they were to iron it would be. It would be like an atonement right. It would be them. You know doing the right thing but it would really speak to the hubris that was involved in the decision-making when roster cutdown initially well better to admit your failure. Do something about it than just keep failing and your wise lawyers in time mookie. You're you're a better person than i am. That's a great point but also a great point from chris. Randall tony That one in four four in the reds excuse me is not good either. The cowboys relied on. Greg's align after coming up short in the red zone in fact you could argue that you said you know. The game was lost on the four points he squandered. I don't know that anybody really counts the end of that first half fuel against their line but you could also argue that the game was lost.

Jerry jones double down for greg's are alive and that is upsetting. Yeah i mean it's upsetting. I see.

Tom i'm gonna come to you in just a second here As mentioned we have a lot of things to get here. And i wanted to start with greg's because i'm really upset about this. I wrote like eight hundred words about this at the site. Which tony and tom can tell you. Take some time to get a really passionate about something to drop eight hundred words. I was talking to bobby belts about this. Who is now on the block of the west podcast because while you can hear him on mondays on cowboys casts and he reminded me. I forgot that this happened during the broadcast last week when the cowboys obviously lots of the buccaneers this is after the airline missed. Extra point already shanked. Thirty one yard field will at this point in time but he comes out. Misses the extra point on the second touchdown. Just listen to what michele tafoya says..
