"One thing you said that really jumped out to me about compared the last year. I know they get 31 points to Tampa Bay. You're not going to slow down and stop that offense with number 12 who I'm calling Benjamin Button right now because he's aging reverse and keep getting bad as that kind of quarterback is completely crazy. But they just look different on defense. Tony. They looked like they had a purpose. They are playing fast. They're forcing turnovers. I know there couldn't be any worse than last year. But how much of a higher ceiling? Do you look at the Cowboys defense this year based on last night? Well, I think that when you look at the personnel, obviously Randy Gregory is going to be back for the season. Um, I think that that's always been a question mark with the front seven in front floor. Micro Parsons. He's going to develop. He's going to understand what it's like to play in the National Football League and the one thing I really know this sense that the platoon a lot of different personnel, and I don't just don't understand. Yeah, that's great to get started off the season, but I think he has to have some stability when it comes to, uh, personnel. Um, but I think the expectations and we saw last night he's got to be able to get to quarterback, especially Tom Brady and And to me, that's really, really got to be a category that they've got to get better that the Barkus Lawrence of paint them tons of money to rush the passer. Uh, as I mentioned Randy Gregory Um, inside, They've got to be better against Iran. That's the thing about is like when they start getting into this run mold against somebody's players. Excuse me, this players and teams like the Giants that want to pound the ball, and these teams that really want to get into the physical aspect of it. That's when I got to become better. And you know, last night I think we just saw was just the fact of just the notion that we're just going to throw the football and and look to me, Freddy, but takeaways. I love watching that last night, but Weren't able to get to the quarterback enough to create. You know some, you know some timely areas by Tom Brady. But hell, who does that? Nobody. That's why explain he's really going to play two is 60 years old. Crazy you hold you world manhole wanted disguise, whatever he's on. Look, I mean, I agree. It is a center since some ways kind of sharing the wealth, but be sure that it just may not be the may not be fair to everyone else appeared to him, right. He needs to share the wealth with everything they do. It's got everything. I mean, he married a supermodel. He's 50 years old. He's winning every treatment delicacy. Yeah, I mean, he's got everybody wants. He's human, though, when he showed he got a little liquored up on the tequila, both fat, But that's another story it cure is undefeated. You know, there's one thing that's undefeated. It's the cure on the waters. Davey. So here's the question. Are they? Are they the favorites? Now? What do we think, guys? I mean, we were all watch this. And it goes to our head to do our expectations for the Cowboys Go up. Are they? Are they the division favorite now? Like if anybody had any question, I don't know. I think that I kind of give up on my expectations. I think it's I think, Look, no doubt about it. I just found out little Collins got suspended for five games. So those seems like they sound like, you know, Sidebar, some drama that happens with this team and So it's almost like, okay, we're going to take a step forward would take a step back and I'm thinking Come on, guys put this thing together, but I mean, when you look at the NFC East effected it. It's probably the most practical choice for the NFC East because of what they did last night and what they have potentially to do, But I think the jury's still out on the things that they need to get better, and that's on the defensive side of the ball. And you know what? Can they stay healthy? You know, the NSC's is one of those divisions that you just don't know. And I know some people have picking Daniel Jones and the Giants to win the division, so I think there's there's not really anybody that's gonna be theirs really jumped out there and said we're going to claim in us to use. I think we'll find out probably Hopefully, the first eight games of the season. Yeah, I could talk to you all day about football when it comes to Tony Castle, Yes.

"Channel 80. So can you lose the game and win a game? I want how much that will be talking when it comes to the Dallas Cowboys, because a lot of the conversation with the fact that they did not get blown out the only lost by two points of the town Bay Buccaneers with a perfect way with a game like that King of the 2021 NFL season. Let's talk to a former cowboy count football. All American also accountable Hall of Famer. He's now the host of Tony Casillas. Show Podcast. He is the Tony cast serious. Hit him on Twitter. TC Williams joining us here. Thanks to the good your hotline, Tony. I laid it out there in terms of the Cowboys loss. But they did win because a lot of people thought they were going to get blown up by Tampa Bay, where all your thoughts of what we saw last night from the Cowboys and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Well, I think that's the problem right there. And we get over this moral victory syndrome, you know? Look, I think I think everyone expected, uh, you know, obviously Tampa Bay to come out and when this game, but I think everyone wants to see this version of the Dallas Cowboys. And I think they had a chance to win at the very end. Unfortunately, you're playing someone like Tom Brady can. That's what you know That's what the guy does He he wins games. Um to me. I think I want to see more than that, Freddie. I want to see the narrative be more this team can compete this year, and the national perception of this is that they can win big games like that, Albeit it was the first game this season. It was a tremendous start to the NFL season. But that's kind of where we're at with the Dallas Cowboys. Yeah, it was a moral victory. They didn't have bone out. Um And so I guess that's a win. If you want to look at that way, But last time I checked the Cowboys of 001 so Not for me. I don't want to see that. But, Tony, we would can you at least take? I mean, there were questions. Jack Prescott leg was last time we saw him was hanging the other way in a game, right? Uh, he had a shoulder problem. You know this this summer and now you see him go out there. How impressed were you with what you saw and Whether any concerns with him going forward of what you were able to see in the opener. Yeah, I think I think there was some questions, no doubt about it. And then not by any means. Am I saying that when you play the defending champions to have a fight that you did that That's not going to help you carry on the season. I just think that that's kind of where this mode has been the last 25 years of this team. I mean, your point about Dak, I think everyone was. All eyes are on deck. When the ball down 22 years on 22 yard line. He connects with Mark Cooper for 28 yard pass, And we're like, okay? Banana just kind of became a seven on seven gave me through the ball 50 times. And so I think the questions are answered about Dax health Because, look, I mean, they abandoned the running game. Both teams did And yet, you know, Dad put up. You know, some tremendous numbers, three touchdown passes and threw for over 400 yards, So I think that kind of quiet at all the The people that really just we're questioning his health going into the season. Tony Casillas from a cowboy joining us in Freddie Fitzsimmons with John Brennan, I'm Freddie Coleman and ESPN radio. The ESPN app and suits and channel 80 hit Tony on Twitter at T. C. You can see is one thing that a lot of people did not talk about. Maybe they talk about a little bit. I didn't have a problem. The Dallas Cowboys trying to run or maybe not trying to run. I know Ezekiel Elliott got 11 carries for a little bit more than 30 yards. I would not have minded to see a little bit more in terms of I know the Tampa run defense is really good. But maybe given a couple of extra carries, maybe get into a little bit of a rhythm than Dak Prescott does not have to throw almost 60 passes. Tony, What are your thoughts on that? Well, I know is the number 21 in the game. People are going to isolate a key on him. I think as a defensive Yeah, defensive unit That's when he's in the game. They're going to try to get into football. And to your point, Freddy. Tampa Bay is a tremendous front. Uh, I think Dallas obviously would have liked to run the ball a little bit more, but I don't know about you. But this is kind of the theory that I'm on with three preseason games, No hitting I think some of these teams are just going to come out and kind of feel the way around. So cable not going to run the ball if we got a really good quarterback, and we're going to try to throw, throw the ball around and really just kind of loosen things up, but not really get into what you would call that season. Physicality running football when I'm saying that I mean, the Cowboys have to be able to run the football, I mean they were out with one of the best offensive line. Um and, uh, Jack Martin, But yet they were able to keep that clean all game long. So I have no problem with that. Hey, look, it's it's attacking any quarterback and put up the numbers. He did. Especially for the fancy. Uh, owner of that, Prescott. You're all about him going 30 to 54. Whatever it was shit, right? So, um, Hey, I ever you can do it, but I think you know, running the football to me. It's It's all about what you can do and manufacturing offense, and I think right away that felt like look, Dak, we're we're paying you the big money to do what you did, and ultimately most on the game. It's you know, it's funny. You say that because I cover the Giants, and that's what they pay me for. And yeah, man, Who's Patrick Grammars, the defensive coordinator. He was saying that recently. How, um Did he think he's worried about most is their run defense because they just haven't had an opportunity to get ready for that. I hadn't really It didn't really click in until you say that. Maybe that's just how teams are going to approach this. This new NFL that we're in where they basically don't work in the spring as much training camp isn't the same, that running game, maybe he is going to be shoved. That's a really good point. But for the Cowboys purposes You. You know you're a defensive guy. You look at the defensive guy right that side of the ball. That was a huge question with the cowboy Just this year. Their defense was terrible last year. Is it going to be better? Is it going to be decent? How confident are you going forward after what you saw in this game from that unit? Well, they have three takeaways. There's you look at some of statistics and that game and the Cowboys statistically should have won the game. But they didn't unfortunate playing number 12, but, um Yeah, I think that that's the also the big the question coming to the season. They look they don't have to do They were like almost dead last and every quarter in the National Football League last year, so we just want to gauge and see where they're at early on in the new defensive coordinator and one of the things that Dallas has not been overdue. It's great takeaways, and I got three last night, albeit it wasn't Really? Maybe it wasn't from their their undoing, but it was more or less. You know what Tampa they did, And but still they got the ball and they got it back. So I think we're going to be better. Hey, look, you know if they can be middle of the pack, I think Dallas can have a chance to win some games unlike last year and that's all they want, and that's the competition and just be able to create opportunities and Wow. I mean, last year was very, very hard to endure and watch. No doubt about that.

"Teams definitely liked to do that. I've seen the eagles in terms of the super bowl dislike the the run that gave sony players after the fact bringing jason peters back every year. We're bringing you know like they just relied on too many and how roseman admitted it. He admitted like he's been too sentimental. And i think you know the the cowboys some great success just because they beat the jaguars but like okay. They're like okay. Things are turning. We don't make need to make a desperate trade. We were gonna be just fine but we can keep everything. It is do anything everything is working. Let's keep it status quo. I feel like that's the course. They would've gone at that point while so then after i mentioned they lost their first game with the mar which was a monday night. Game against tennessee but after that and they were things were bad because they were three and five everybody wrote them off and i remember we do a show on the blog and the boys podcast network with tony casillas. Who won two super bowls at the cowboys in the nineties. And i remember at that time. Tony and i looked at the upcoming five games and we said they are not going to win a single one of these They're gonna they're gonna fall the three and ten and it's going to be really bad. They traded this pig. Amari bob blah whatever and they won all five of them which mentioned earlier. They swept the eagles amari in that timeframe. The first game which was at philly. That was the big leighton vander. Esch game also Only six catches seventy five yards the following week in atlanta which dallas won on a last second field goal. Mind you only three catches for thirty six yards but then on thanksgiving blew up eight catches a buck. Eighty two touchdowns Then the cowboys beat the saints on thursday night. That really kind of the world know that they were legit He he caught all eight receptions for seventy six carrots and then the second phillies game ten catches two hundred seventeen yards and three touchdowns and that five game winning streak because that that was kind of the beginning if we look back of the nfc east falling into this rut that it's currently in now that it was great but like it went from just being an average division to like a total dumpster fire. And so the cowboys just by one of those five games put themselves in a position where they had to win one more so in the nfc especially because they swept the eagles who were doing their own thing at the time as we mentioned and so they wound up in the nfc east and they beat the seahawks in the playoffs. Because carol doesn't know that russell's good at throwing the football so my overall point here to kind of get to something quickly is that i without amari. There's no way they rip off those five games in a row. And i think that they may i dunno. They ended up like three and thirteen. But i think that they are a disaster. And i think that you know i. It probably affects the way dak prescott viewed right now too. Yeah that's like. I just remember that trade and thinking in obviously hoping in rooting the downside of it because obviously it did work out but if it didn't kind of a big problem like you're giving up a first round pick for seaver who it's the to say that he kinda continued the oakland path and kind of dislike underwhelmed and like like. How high is that pick. I could be pretty high like what the cowboys again were. What was a record. Before the monitoring they're like three in five three and four so three and four which is a pivot point that we're talking about like maybe four and three if they win the washington game and so yeah like. I think that winning that game could have been the worst possible thing to happen to them. The the more interesting thing. Like besides the fact that i think they might have been terrible throughout the rest of the twenty thousand season while nick foles and frank reich or lighten things up for the eagles obviously is. I think that jason gear would have had been fired at the end of that. Co because it would have been too bad it would have been too rough and i don't think that they could have survived. Especially because at that point dak would have been entering his fourth season. And the idea would have been you have to get somebody in here to take him to the next level. We've found out obviously have mario of out do that So these were the head coaches who got hired in the twenty nine th cycle biaggi this january twenty nineteen Incidentally matt lafleur by the bay packers because they had moved on from mike mccarthy who didn't take a job that year although he did interview for the jets job that went to adam case Cliff kingsbury got hired by the isn't a cardinals because he was sean. Mcvay friend vic fangio by the denver broncos the cleveland browns promoted freddie kitchens two full time status The miami dolphins hired brian flores who may be traded for carson wentz wentz's we discussed in bruce arians came out of retirement to join the tampa bay buccaneers. But and i did put this in our notes Because i think every cowboys fan is saying this lincoln riley stock has dropped a little bit over the last year or so At at oklahoma as it pertains of the nfl but at the time it was red hot especially at the time he would have been coming off. Back to back heisman. Winning seasons for his quarterbacks and baker mayfield and murray. I legitimately think that if the cowboys win that game. In washington that lincoln riley is their head coach right now. Yeah i mean it seems like that's been who they want right if they could have him and getting him not too. Easy deals wanted him this off season. But i mean obviously why was lincoln riley relief oklahoma to come to the heels. Not the most attractive situation. And i just don't think money obviously would have been an issue at all for jerry jones and they would have given lincoln riley whatever took. I also wanna throw matt rules name in here. Because if i'm not mistaken. I think he also interviewed for the jets stab that offseason back. You're right here It's a point aso in news app. Healer So you know. He's also very much in the mix too and that i think could have been a really good higher..

Philadelphia Eagles predicted to beat Dallas Cowboys 31 to ten
"Ever One. This is Tony Casillas Co host, the 750, and this is my prediction for cowboys versus the Eagles Looks I've been the NUCCI rookie quarterback's Nita's I start on the road versus the eagles NFC robbery opponent in which they despise the cowboys. But Anyway, I see this game is a total domination by the Eagles I'm I'm wrong but considering what we've seen over the last seven weeks of the season and nothing is there to change my mind I hate to be bought but best away I call it. So my prediction is cowboys lose on the road thirty one to ten.
