"Night. But I know in week one, when they played the box, he had two sacks on Tom Brady, and he played like 21 40 snaps as an end, 21 snaps as a linebacker, and then over the 8 games going into last night, Danny, he only had like 19 total snaps at linebacker. I don't know what the numbers turned out to be last night. But I know Dan went into it wanting 15 to 20% of Micah Parsons snaps to be in linebacker. Chug Edward covers the cowboys for the mothership. I still love watching Tony Pollard. It just, I don't know if he's a single back or you do need to split up those carries with him, but he's just such a dynamic player. And then I wanted it fast forward this to how does Dallas with what you saw last night match up with what they're going to face with San Francisco? Well, when I watch San Francisco last week and saw what Christian McCaffrey did on his first carry, I tweeted out the more, every time I watch Christian McCaffrey, I wonder why the cowboys don't create the same kind of plays for Tony Pollard. Because I think they are very similar players. A lot of people argue that Pollard's not tough enough can't take the contact, but he led the NFL in yards rushing after first contact this year. Tony Pollard did. So he's a strong guy in addition to being fast and elusive and they were really fortunate to have I almost when you asked me that question about who the most important cowboy is other than that. I almost said Tony Pollard. Because they would have been able to establish a running game last night without Tony Pollard's quickness. You saw what Ezekiel Elliott did in the game. Pollard is just such a unique player. Such a great space player and yet he's proven he can be in every downside. He's going to make a lot of money this off season. As for how the cowboys match up, I'd be worried about my kicking situation. Brett Maher became the first kicker in NFL history to miss four point after touchdown attempts. So every dak Prescott touchdown revealed a weakness we weren't aware of.

"Start getting tired in the fourth quarter of having to deal with yes. They can't little speeding then the speedy guy. I need to see fifty percent the speed. I need to see fifty fifty stamps. Because there couple of indications couple places at tampa what happened on the third and won the toss play if we could see it right where i like my odds here. I've got my bell cal back in the open field against a third string practice squad and he couldn't make him miss any couldn't beat him to the pylon. You do realize that every time people see might've thing that you have to your is that what i see him in the ballgame. I'm thinking pass. Okay with tony paul. Okay remember tony pollard. at memphis. I wash a lot. He was more of a receiver than running. Back right okay. So that's an untapped resource. We're tip of iceberg with him because he could flat out catch it. And i would not mind. Seeing occasional dynamic duo thunder and lightning lineup together in the backfield. Because you're gonna make them. Guess what are you going to do to us. Because don't underestimate zeke. On key plays can still get out of the backfield. Remember the third down play of the game thirty four if we could see it at chargers this is it. This is for all the marbles guests who deck trusted the most to throw it to and i know it's not a sophisticated route. It's just that. I trust him to get open in the flat and i trust him to catch and i trust him to run over in his way to get to the stay. Am i ride. Yes okay. So i've seen that a lot. We still haven't seen tony pollard. Get exploited as a dynamic pass catcher out of the backer lining up in the slot occasionally mainly anticipate that he's going to catch the ball bid normally bring the nickel defense on the field. When he's into so i- classically have thunder and lightning zeke at the point in his career where he won't balk he won't make waves at sharing snaps with tony pollard. In fact he may welcome up because he's giving up he sacrificing his body. What's leftover dying quote unquote for the cause. And why not take a few snaps off to rest up a little bit and saved yourself for being to hammer away in the fourth quarter. Until they say no no moss on defense skip. I totally agree. But i think the thing is that they realized that zeke is not what zt once was and the best way to maintain and still get value from him is to put him a sharing row. Let taller get twelve. Thirteen cares. Let zeke instead of giving z. Twenty five thirty cares. Maybe we give him fifteen seventeen. We still going to run the ball thirty plus time. But it's going to be between two guys as opposed the one guy if you toss that play that third one play at tampa to tony politics. He waltzes to the pilot me. He's got extreme berkeley. Does he okay. If you had tony pollard in the game on the quote unquote hail mary at the end of the at charge. If we'd see it real quick. Throw it to cd you've got. Who's trailing zeke. Well he can't run anymore the way he used to run. If this is tony pollard. This guy can run with the ball but he gets loose. And now he tosses it to zeke. Who can no longer take it to the pylon. Tony pollard might win that race to that. The pylon bright. It'd been closed joel. Coming here he to the point okay. It'd be it'd be good but also would you also understand now in the past situation that guy who have the block also okay and you believe tony paulie goes tickets. I do not simply the best. Let's pick up. I've seen he flat out. Cold stone devon white a couple of times at tampa okay so he. He will pay dividends that way he will earn his best running back salary. That was yes okay. And he's he's there's a role that he can play is not the bill cow role that he wants play. Yeah but he can still play. -nificant role still give value but twenty power. But i think moving forward the best way for the cowboys to maximize their running game to have both of these guys do it. I think you just agreed with me. We have a dynamic duo over underrated do. Oh thank you. For concurring no mercy. We debated if leading tom brady. Go was the biggest mistake in. Nfl history the forty four year old. Qb definitely is not slowing down. We know that by now after his league-leading nine passing touchdowns so far. This season is now thrown one hundred fifty four touchdowns in his forties with another fourteen. He will have passed the war touchdowns in his forties. Then he did during his twenties shannon honestly. How incredible is this really nice gift. But the way cubeys court numbers are skipped. This is not shocking. Especially when you consider. Tom brady didn't start until he was twenty four years of age and he missed an and so when you bet any started six seasons in his twenties. He's already in his fifth season starting in his forties. You look at the numbers. Tom brady in his twenty s average. Twenty four and a half touchdowns per season sixteen guys last year through for twenty five or more touchdowns goes to show you where the trajectory of the offense and new england skip. It wasn't brady centric. You know that they. They ran the football a lot more and brady did brady sensation. Optima trying to take anything away from the guy won three super bowl games. You're taking a little away. Go ahead okay. So from twenty. So let's get this right. So twenty one. He was dealing college. Twenty two he was gonna turn twenty three august third so that was his first year so he didn't become a starter until twenty four. And so now you only got five years left skip. He played six years. It is twenty. He that five right now. It is forties okay. What he's doing his forties. We will probably will never ever see again. Ever ever see that again. Skipping about it drew brees is the nicholson player in touchdowns would fifty seven. Tom brady is at one. Fifty four yards. So there the great safe and i said i believe you'll play at least skipped next year. I believe that between three believe it plays twenty-three hinkle legitimately be at two hundred touchdowns in the next closest guy will be fifty seven so for me. I believe anybody's gonna touch that record that forty year record of two hundred plus touchdowns. I don't believe that but when you look at what he's been able to skip he the only one fewer year from starting then he did it in the entire twenties. That's why scale you say. Well he's gonna throw for touchdowns is a different game now than when he first got into the league. But i the longevity is was most important most is most impressive. And he's been able to throw for this many touchdown any artists. You might be able to end. You might take every quarterback that was in his forties and tom brady with the more touchdown all of them combined. Okay tom i got your back again here on this show stabbing by i will not let the hall of famer across disparage your chievements even in your twenties. Because let's look harder at what he did do for. I run base team in his twenty and he started at age. Twenty four as you said and then twenty five six seven eight and nine twenty years where he turns okay in when he turned thirty only when he turned thirty did he finally get his injury. Flashiest new toy. No he got randy. Moss oh seven finally got a superstar receiver as he turned thirty right in august third in going into that season. He at randy moss in really only had him randy moss levels for one year. And then you know the rest of nori okay at age twenty five. In his second year of starting he led the national football league and touchdown passes with twenty eight again new game new day. Okay i got it but he did do that so you gotta give him that. He led the league as a sophomore.

"With both of them but shannon quickly. I hear what you're saying about. Doc am beating their comments. And i get where biz from and also i think he's bothered that they put him in the trade for james heart. Thank you last season yet. Remembers that right. That's the problem with a trade doesn't go through but it gets public. You're in trouble with that player. That said i do want been to look in the mirror though. Yes the way. He's acting speaks of victim cart. He's not a victim. I get it. They did him wrong here and there but he's got a look in the mirror. Say i did shoot thirty four percent from the foul line in the playoffs. I have not after four years of playing basketball in this league. I still won't take jump shots. Like i want him to look in the mirror and do and understand that like magic. Did after the tragic. Johnson finals in eighty four like michael. When he said i gotta get in the weight room against detroit in the play. Offs like lebron did in after the or the two thousand eleven series with dallas. Guys were better than vincent and they still looked into. I gotta be a better player. Guess and i think been looking at everybody else. Is that a looking at himself as their. You know what i like with dr. I can't argue with that. I read this point. I've gotta go prove him wrong. And so i would like to see a little more. That from similar out with us is well. Guess what it was doing what he was supposed to be if he was the player that everybody projected him to be his name would have never came up for james harden like face. I'm not trading the guy that's giving me twenty two ten and fix is dead. He's give us fourteen fifteen six and february no bra and he won't shoot a jumper he won't show if they don't get the ball over doug it what are you gonna do. You can't blame in the fourth quarter. That can't be a point guard that cannot be. you'll starting point. Dad becomes unplayable in the fourth quarter. This i don't know. I don't know how this plays out chris. Thank you for weighing in today. We appreciate your time and we'll definitely be part of this. We get on fox. It's a good one. starts saturday. Strong with the noon kickoff. Pregame show at ten am eastern. We are live from soldier field in chicago and then at noon eastern jack cohn twelfth break fighting irish taken on his former team number eighteen wisconsin. A huge big news. Saturday begins ten. Am eastern seven am pacific on fox and the fox sports app. It's going to be a good one from chicago. Well guys tony palmer. Made a statement in the cowboys away and over. The chargers racking up over a hundred yards on the ground and many are now calling from dallas to continue to use the combination of z. Out of the backfield jerry. Jones said on his weekly radio interview that having the to back says quote outstanding situation because pollard. Surprise the defense with his speed and zeke quote punishes the hell out of those defenders fan. And is this want. You punch underrated or overrated. I think the thing is is that. I think they're really just fine. I don't believe they're they're cre- they did. Not kareem hunt branded not branch. Bradley chubb got issues. But they're not kareem hunt right. I don't think they're that dual. But i think they're very solid duos skipping it and i agree with jerry skipped when you have a do. Oh you need to have a contrast if we go back and look at duos to rocky bleier to and franko hairs mercury mars lands on you throw jim kicking their ahmad. Bradshaw granted jacob more curtly. There needs to be contrast. You can't have two of the same to power guys to speed guys. One guy who electricity of the guys of thunder more power. That's how zeke runs zeke. Punish you and now you bring a french guy in there you only gonna give him x. Amount of carriers. But i know everybody said man here. Nine cares book thirteen. Just imagine what happened if you get twenty cares. You getting broke his bodies not for that. It's perfect give eight nine ten cares blohm another two to three passes. So that's you know. Twelve thirteen fourteen plays for game. They'll be continue to be explosive while allowing zeke to punish the depressed where down and now all of a sudden. They're tired a come. Tony pilot. mike. Okay you'll get it right. This is gonna force you to get it right. So i think the thing is. They're doing a great job. And i don't think they stumbled on this skip. I think they knew they could see the data shows them. The number showed them that. Zeke is not the same guy. twenty sixteen seventeen. Eighteen is not the same guy in twenty twenty one. We got a guy that can lighten some of the load and that can give us some of the explosiveness. Zeke's used to give a give their very few guys that we call bill bands anymore. You get seema carolina you get a dowling cook you get a big derrick henry. But for the most part everybody runs the to back system so dallas when you get to san francisco and baltimore. They run like ten bucks. Keep putting into doing good. It doesn't matter you'll be down your back and he'd get eighty five ninety like he's the number one but i got it so i do agree with you. I think this is a great situation. They stumbled on a great situation. But i don't think they stumbled on it. I think they saw the data was telling them in what they scare. These guys are really smart. They use data. They don't just use analytic to say. Should we go to skip or do we put the ball in this situation. They use data on their own players in when they look at the numbers and they look at zeke's number and they look at the amount of cares. they say he would be better in his system. Like wis split back guy. As opposed to the bill cow so we can maximize tube earns one stone while maximizing every guy's ability. I am shocked at your answer. I thought you would scream overrated across. The you've told me. Zeke is in decline. You'll never bounce back to what he was the first three years in this league. And you have repeatedly told me that. Mike polar is overrated. Because he's not that consistent that he has a flash year burst there but but over time he cannot be belco right right. Did you like this. Because you and i both know. If they thought how many times mix carries getting a better one for you. If i go back to one thousand nine hundred six of my dallas cowboys they brought in herschel walker and decided a we can have a dynamic duo with him and tony dorsett. Tony is not going to sit still for this. Nor should he note because you can have two superstars at one position okay but now this is why i'm about to explain to you. I think your heart is telling you we're heading in this direction. My new dynamic duo is dramatically under rated because it is right on time with the emergency maturity level of tony pollard. Don't call me mike pollard. Okay and zeke bouncing back from what he used to be to what he can be right now which is no longer the zeke. The ohio state. You agree with meal that why. I only agree with you this this much. He did recommit to his his overall body shot. He got himself very new and different shape. He lost his double chance as he got up again. Sheku yeah got it so all the sudden. I'm seeing a new commitment for a guy who got humbled beyond belief ledger. The average sixty five yards a game so right on time. Tony is emerging while zeke is accepting where. He is at this point in his six seasons. Where i can still be that guy. Can he not punt. Jerry is not exaggerating. punish defense. right right he can take it out. he can take pounds of flesh right. If we could quickly see just says touchdown run the other day. I think he's hard to tackle when he gets going down the hill because he is still got warrior mentality crashing through people. Does anybody in this league have better. Body leaned zeke..

"So they they committed to you. And i know it's become the new way of the world james harden or he just says i want out run in the team just crumbles and bins rover and just says okay. You got me on done on down on my knees for you. What do you want. Where do you wanna go. You wanna go to la okay. We'll make it happen. I know they had to go through two rounds of that but they made it happen. James where do you wanna go. How about brooklyn. oh okay. we'll make that happen. I just got the feeling that the sixers might be the first team to say you know what we gave him the money. He made the thirty three million last year. And we're going to keep paying him if he comes to camp if he doesn't you know what's going to happen at some point the nba will step in and suspend him but at some point they don't have to pay him. He does have one of those weird payout systems where they're like quarterly payments. So it's like eight point. Three million is not owed until october. I read but could they withhold their eight point three on october. I if he's not playing anything. Guess what's get you trade me. I'm no longer on your books. That'd be somebody else responsibility to pay me. You gave me the extension but you would have to pay a dime of it because the poor here kicks in this year so he wouldn't have to work. Don't you don't have to worry about that. But you you back the sixers into such a corner. They are classically. Damned if you do damned if you don't because if you say okay we'll we'll take the best offer on the table. That's damned if you do because it's not going to be very good to your point and if you don't you're going to have a very unhappy camper well the next question is how long will that camper hold out. What if the sixers for the first time in a long time in the nba. Just say i'm sorry we got you for the next four years. If you want stay at home you can just stay at home. How long would that last. Now we're into the psyche of ben simmons. How long would he sit. Would he sit out a year and lose thirty three million no. I don't believe you'll sit out nor should he. Would you come to camp. And he'll be like james harden. It became abundantly clear. James harden was not happy in houston. And after a while. They say yeah. You're gonna come we're gonna make you play. Felton only came to camp after breaking all the covert rules. Awesome remember in right away. He's completely out of balance on the covert protocol. So he was just staring at. Emi came to camp a dare. I say a little heavy. So he's that look. I'm going to do everything. I possibly can to show you. I do not want to be here and eventually the ownership said you know we can't have this guy round here because he doesn't want to be here and it's starting to robot you remember what he said about the situation sailors and a lot of other guys were complaining so they ended up moving him out. It should have to get to this. You've made you made your point. You walk you believe joel. Embiid is the guy that can lead you where you wanna go. You love the have been. But i believe in the back of their minds. Bid hasn't improved enough from where he was as a rookie. You keep giving me. Yes he was rookie of the year but heavy three straight all-star teams really two straight defense. First team all defense really vince. They've been keeping these. Dad's been simmons set an nba record for the worst. Throw percentage shooting in the playoffs. Thirty four percent now. They've been some bad free. Throw shooters from ben. Wallace decrease haley two wilt chamberlain is yours. An all over got point guard okay. Got the demons in his head symbol on the couch. putting on the team won't be factor mental. Maybe the dean was won't be in portland. And they'll you'll be able to read those demon rich paul and been signed off on sacramento. I'm not sure they would from what i've heard. Is that any place other than philly. So i don't know what place they are an nba anywhere other than philly. Two ways out to me. That would be the deal that both will accept. And it would involve damian lillard bradley beal and that's it. I don't see any other way out of this mess that they're locked in this game of chicken that they're locked in except those two places because those are to deal for deals where you would get back a symbol of what you're giving skip is a situation where you know you should get rid of something you know the lonely you hold onto as they know they're going to get rid of give the barrel maury asking there have been too many. There's been too much rumblings. About possibly trading. Ben simmons and ben simmons has tide of here his name throwing up and trades the up slow now. He's like okay. This has been going around over the last year. I'm gonna put some people okay. But daryl morey didn't blast. Ben simmons to the number. So he's the guy pulling the trigger. Id's the guy in charge. Skip of i would recommend. I would say if i could speak to ben simmons which i can't i would say go to camp be professional professional doesn't mean you're just an nba player professionals. How you go about your business. I'm calling about your business with the anticipation that they're going to do right by you because you to do right by them by showing showing up and being professional but i wanna make it abundantly clear. I'm coming in here dot. I'm gonna do what you asked me to do. But i want to be traded bins. Joel embiid dough f. would be durham. Maury won't out on him. Beat is said recently all the right things like he's tried to waive the wears very with when joel was upset. What did he say. Remember the three people that will tell you the truth. Kids and dropped being joel. Embiid wasn't draw and he's got a lot of behavior but in that moment he was just upset because he had lost a seven game series and it was on his home court. Game seven correct. I got it in the end. It's still all about the general manager in the owner. And i can tell you they will cling to one stat and that stat says that in the thirty four games that they have been without ben simmons over his tenure in philadelphia. They're seventeen in seventeen in those thirty four. If you look at what happened to them defensively. They have averaged more than five points. Allowed more without. Ben simmons because he is a difference maker on the defensive end. That has nothing to do with free. Throw shooting dead right about everything you say about free throws they have to get fixed and i was slightly troubled that he was in such a free throw funk. He wouldn't even play for his olympic team in australia. And i think it had a lot to do with the free throw demons like i don't want to have to go subject myself to this in the olympics on the international stage again right. Skip you mentioned when you talk about being. You always mentioned the game in which he's played well but you look at his best games when he played well who wasn't playing at all okay. How do you move forward that you mentioned that forty two point game joel. Embiid with a late scratch. Scratch remember that. Playoff game with jared dudley memorial. Get their took a shot at him he said. Okay watch this. Who was a play. Joel was not so how i got you. Okay so you can almost make an argument. They've been a little better part part in in a little better with been instead of joel you could make but but again together they were the ones see. Yes that's all. Gm has to sit back and think chee maybe maybe we should just dig in here and say no. We're not going to trade you but what does it come down to skit when you're dealing with two guys like that and they're both believe they're superstars eventually. If some skip magic karim would work.

"Turnover. All about him and he got out mody he flipping. You'll get trip. Didn't watching watching team. Well inadvertent you went from saying he did. Try bernie just tripped over the goal line though he trudeau. You've got you've got you didn't even look back. He didn't even know okay. Well was johnny on the spot. Because e was a safety last year for the worst pass defense in the history of pro football for the atlanta falcons and now he's rising and shining with a rebirth for my dallas cowboys. And wooded i predict to you on friday. I said two things have to happen sunday at so fine stadium. I said number one. We have to balance up. We have to go fifty fifty run pass. And i thought you thought that was improbable to the point of impossible and dak prescott who thrown fifty eight passes. Only eighteen runs at tampa bay. Suddenly throws only twenty seven as my team ran it thirty one times for a hundred ninety eight yards. Did you see that coming. No is that not scare you. Does that not show you once again. I've predicted this team will win the nfc east by two games. And i think you saw it on full display. Yesterday we get turnovers on defense. We can run the ball like crazy on offense and finally. We got the formula right. Because i'm going to give you the stat again under dak prescott with him as the starter when we have run the ball more than we have past the ball. We are twenty five zero and didn't win yesterday. Feel like some of those rookie year early. Didn't it look like a knack. Zeke game when they won at lambeau or at pittsburgh or even at washington against kirk cousins rookie year. That game resembled that it had that kind of feeling to me and we were up against it on defense but to your credit. You predicted going into the draft. Mike parsons the best defensive player on the board. I thought it was patrick sedan. Only because i was need-based and i think patrick tan is gonna make a whole bunch of pros for your denver. Broncos yesterday made another big play. he's playing at a high level because that's who he is. Who is dad was and he is a chip off that blah. So i thought. I'll take the to bama corners my to book ins and i'll be often races well. Mike fell into our laps. Maybe straight out heaven because yesterday. He saved the day. Because i predicted on friday. Please put his hand in the dirt. Line him up as a defensive lineman as a pure pass rusher. That's pretty much what they did all day. And i thought he caused big problems. Do what you do. We call the right tackle. We were referred to him the fish and the one thing you don't want to do is optical who a you take him to the market and that's and that's what michael parson did. Every japan rush chance. He got be field. One time the next thing you know he go inside and then he bullied and so he just like yeah i i fully overdose latest for real. He's come back over here. Okay you can. I get some help. I saw a little bit there. I say i saw a little von miller going on just a little bit. Because he's got a little gumby any bended off the and he obviously got a burst and he has some natural strength to him. So when you least expect it can just knock you on your butts when we're not to watch this kid. Play the thing that you look for in a defensive player. Especially kenny close. Yeah you see the way. He closed herb on that side. You washed away. He closed running back and say okay. He gets them and next thing you know you see him close. That's what you look for defensive player. Can he close. This kid has tremendous closing speed. Yes he can play off the ball library but there have been very few guys that you know they go from middle backer which he is and if they you know what today we're not gonna that you play the middle want you to be rushing and to be able to have that kind of special. I thought it was special. And i'm like if he can just give you have a what he gave. Penn state that year his junior year. Yup you got something special okay. So let's quickly look at the two calls in question because they sophomore at first and goal play. If we could see the one to jared cook in which they called illegal shift very interesting and it was a touchdown play. I lost my mind. Because i thought it was a touchdown but if we could see it quickly first of all give you. Don't even get that. Do you mean jared cook. I think they called it on. Jared cook i do. I think the illegal shift was why said he did not show up your money. That's it jerry. Cook who's been cowboy killers all career. But he's been on six different teams. May because of what you just pointed out of the guy. I mean you look at it. He i think he has three games. He's won a few ideas that have three games of at least one hundred seventy receiving yards and a game that lets you know he has ability. You got six six to sixty five to run huge catch radius. Run after the catch he like. Why are you being green. Bay in the rams on this thing the saints and over here and why. Oh that last quick thing we need to see the playing questioned the mike apply. Because i will give you this. This was a bad call. Robert this was no in the grass. And yet i don't think it changed the game. I don't think it can't again. He got rid of the ball. He was not down he was not in the grasp. Nope nope no head. That being called a super bowl tom brady to have another super bowl where they had a moore graph and bet that is true. They did yet. I don't wanna hear i saw jerry. Jones trended last night late on twitter. Where people saying jerry paid off the ralph's which is always the pace. Well how did he pay off the rest last year. It's so fi stadium when remember the opening night gallup gets called for a push off on jalen ramsey. And i'm saying what are you doing that. That terrible call. That cost us at least ride going to overtime those penalties they got yesterday. They earned if you go look at. Jared cook held a guy outfits. He's holding the guy they fall. Start what do you want to do. I can't call it people go you know. I'm sure okay committing the foul for years. I've thought the rest route to get jerry jones. The league's out to get him. According to fox sports book the cowboys are big favorites to win their division. After yesterday's bounce back win tony pollard. Ran for one hundred and nine yards and a score and the twenty seventeen win. Meanwhile as secure elliott found the end zone as well but only rushed for seventy one yards overall so shannon is hollered. Now better than zeke. But they do have a contrasting styles. And i think it served. I think it's of the cowboys wealth to have z. Because because politics a lot quicker and prepared to tackle zeke. Who's a power back is seems to me that when polycom zone he's able to get to a crease because they are zeke and he's able to get through that were able to get through. Zeke is more power now data speed. I like the contrast that they have thunder lightning or whatever you wanna say. Peanut butter and jam. Whatever you to compare them skill. but they're very different is seems to be serving the cowboy very well. I would keep it just like eight years. I would let the start. I think zeke knows the dave of him getting twenty five or ninety percent of the carriers. I think he owned those days are over. And so i liked what i saw from tony pollard. Because he ran hard. But zeke reinhart's give you can say this might be hard hardest. You've seen run..

I mean check silicone or something because nobody gives them down the first crack eddie. Nobody gets him down. I used to say the michael vick experience in atlanta once he got in the open field. I'd never seen that before. But michael is a much smaller man. Lamar lamar runs with authority. And again. I don't know how long you can last in this league playing that way. Because that's the way bs deployed right. Do you think he's he's sore. When he tried to climb out of bed this morning. I believe he did a lot of punishment last night. Let's give. He's getting better as long as he do like. Russell wilson hollered get down. You don't take those shots. I would prefer you know. Last night he did. He tried to run over one guy. You know to try to send a message to get his team fired up. I would advise for doing that because he had already had the first down. But he's getting better at getting down not taking those shots because they treat him like running back in. I understand i see you got on number eight. But you quarterback can't do what you do. So i would treat you like i would treat can't off. Obviously they lost their first and second string. Running backs lost marcus.

Yesterday the rushing duo combined for one hundred eighty yards and two touchdowns throwing any. Td's dak prescott orchestrated and eleven. Play drive to kick a game. Winning field goal as time expired as the cowboys beat the chargers. Twenty two seventeen shannon scale of one to ten. How impressive were the cowboys. Not a piece of the peace. And i'm saying piece i did to too 'cause it was what the charge of do which is finished the deal. They had opportunity after opportunity. You can't have eleven of twelve penalties. Come on the side of the football you get. I get jared cooks tawny got called back but i'm trying to pick up candidate alan. That's textbook targeting. You catch a pass. The guys walking away you walk up to him and getting his face and start talking but you already. You already did what you wanted to do. A deep ball owning the that nature would they say would mike williams say last week. Chak those tampa research. Were having a lot of fun out there you got. He got he got a big on call. Back because offencive holding yep. He did so he was going to be over one hundred. He was going to be over her yards. Had it not been for that call. Let me might for ninety one and he was going to be overhauled. The key now had over one hundred four catches skill. You can't you can't three false starts and the illegal ship. Three offense coding and teutonic. Even though cook tawny call was called back. You can't do that skip. Those are seven dry against seven drives. Normally you have then implant. The party got negated because dallas ran adjudicator. So berlin you get. Seven drives all little re at the bare minimum. The thirty five yard line of the cowboys You kick field twenty one point you know you know that when impressive but i want you to celebrate enjoy you'll be short lived. I am going all the way up on my scale of one to ten to a nine. Because i loved my football team yesterday so my loved everything i saw. I loved their spirit. I love their fight. I loved their their confidence. Coach like gagged off. What about that. I've told you since camp. We will win in spite of our coach and our general manager slash owner and operator and remember. My team was up against it the way no team was up against it last week because every time i looked at my phone we lost another player to injury or dacoven or two suspension. And for those starters were gone from the defense including both of the book and pass rushers and you early in the week. You should have listened to yourself because you said you guys will probably win the game. And then after you heard this whole spate of of loss players you flip completely around and said you guys are going to get wiped out by the great justin herbert who had just gone to washington against the team that you love the most in this division and he had converted fourteen of nineteen third downs to be washington at washington. So you figured he would throw the biggest party at so-fi stadium on my team because my team is suspect at best on defense. And now you've taken four starters away and guess what he managed to score grand total of seventeen points on my defense because trevan dig is going to be a pro bowl player at corner and he came up with a great interception in the first quarter of we could see. This sends a message to his team. We got this because we got trevan. This is a big time the films. It's a big time time cat. We call drought yup and any snagged it and held onto it. It was about a decaf through the day in a game. I'm not sure there is a better catch than this one. And then as it looked like just. Herbert was about to drive a nail right into our coffin. They got it inside the red zone and my little man. Kazeem keeps coming up the who's got contagious.

You know what it do. I hope to see you soon. Welcome to the undisputed podcast. I'm your host jenny taft. This podcast is a condensed version of today's episode of undisputed handpicked with the best segments and discussions skip shannon. Let's go despite throwing pick six of the star of the night. Lamar jackson may have played the game of his life. Yesterday the former. Mvp for three total touchdowns and raced in the levin point fourth quarter deficit to get his first career win over patrick mahomes four tenths and afterwards villar said quote. It feels good to get that monkey off our back. I've shannon. How much for sold on the mar are you. After last night have been sold on. I just think his consistency in order to be the type of quarterback that he wants to be consistent. that's what he's not the routine. Skip throw interceptions. He whipped fifteen. And nineteen to fifteen touchdown and then with eighty plus yards rushing. The ball in to touch down is that not consistent. That's what we need to see from the mar. Now he's going to need to transfer that compla- time because come playoff team going gonna make you beat them with your weakness. What teams due to lamar to neutralize each company. They take away leagues. Okay not can you talk about even if you have to get on the move to do it. He will good throwing the ball. The junk paths that he threw the hollywood brown. They missed the assignment. Skip the ball with coming out his head. Andrew watkins hollywood he would just make you throw out throw throw. I mean he will sensational football-related. We should look. Let's see them because don't pass what. I'm not sure how he pulled it off. But it was mahomes s. quite because he's kind of go inside his and he got enough mustard on it to get it to him but he they had completely blown laura paying. He's like hey like you said earlier. He had hollywood overshot and he did. This is the consistency in the thing that you like about. Lamar what makes the great quarterbacks. Great skip bay might not be having a great game but in the big moments. You remember the tom. Brady's first super bowl he went blade. That particular whale but in the moment that he had to have it. You go back and look at history. Look at the great quarterback is moments it which quarterback of made a name for themselves. The dr john elway didn't play particularly well. But when you go ninety eight yards and under to it you make a name for yourself. What the mark. Cleveland and play in a playoff game. Now lavar is going to have to this. He's played one drag and he slayed one team where he did. He's going to have to do it again but this time he's going to have to do it in the playoffs. I liked what i saw being as undermanned as they were for him to say you know what i got this. Get on your boys back. I'm gonna bring home okay. Though i know i know who the other side hair. Yeah i to go coat get it and he got it as his little buddy from miami marquees brown said after the game. Lamar preached on it all week. We're going to do this. And yet he got off to such a horrendous start with two interceptions in the first quarter. Any ms tali would would the the deep archies and it's such a. It's such a disastrous. Start that most quarterbacks. Even some of the great quarterbacks would have unraveled on sunday night. Football up against your arch nemesis. Where you've already admitted after the third lost mahomes to fall to three. You already admitted there are kryptonite will if if you just felt your kryptonite in the first quarter. A lot lot of quarterbacks would just they go in the tank. Psychologically they'd just be shot the rest of the game. Let's give you know a playoff game. Utah to in of them in the first quarter team. Hey twenty one eight twenty four points on you see what happened. Just no one got pick-6. Dora them you just gave him seven right away. Yeah it gets out of hand early and you feel like we're home but give them a an remember kansas city thrives on honey bad because he is there mahomes of the defense right correct and so he made two huge sunday night. Football plays and i thought it was over because the one thing baltimore is not been able to do is to comeback from a big deficit because you almost have to think about throwing the football more than you wanna throw the ball. And they're all the way down to thirty five twenty four. That's was six fifty left in the third quarter and they just stayed true to themselves. And it was lamar who said not in my house. Not on my wall. Not now not ever. I've got this. And i get chills talking about it. Because i've always told you what i love about. Lamar jackson is his competitive backbone. He will compete at the highest level. He will refuse to lose. He is a baller. he's a gamer. And especially the the higher the stakes in the fourth quarter. He he will be chew. How remember he. He was trying to beat the raiders singlehandedly. Unfortunately that single hand didn't hold on football because he had a big fumble loss early fourth quarter one late when he got strip sat turnover not created equal because he turned a ball. He chiefs in the rate of the ravens. Both turn the ball over twice but one turned the ball over twice in the first one in the second half. Yup and that's the difference in mahomes had a terrific night except for a one way and he re opened the door. It happened if we could see it with two. Oh three left in the third quarter he just its third twelve and he says i've made these plays before. Let me try this one. And it just went sideways. But he had his head turned to the he was looking. The guy had cut right cut rice. Get worried go look at look at all the space i agree. But when you have the greenest light in the history of light then you just think. I magic i can pull this off. And that was the play that opened the door and then opened the floodgates rushing attack and they came back from thirty five to twenty four down late third quarter running the foot. He threw it some and to your point. He was accurate deadly accurate. Yes and yet. I'll be the first to say. Is lamar ever going to be the prettiest of the football. Absolutely not right but he won the mvp he throwing it accurately is he throws darts. And that's what he does off the gasket but he fifteen in nineteen eighty. Remember one of those the drop the to walk if dropped one in my bad dog. That's only me that if you look at these numbers lamar every six point. Seven and kerry we average five point nine latavius murray every four point. Oh three fourteen and a half only ricard which was a one care for two yard which he got for fool but with the pullback look at these numbers six point one to fifty one forty one carries. Its who they are. it's what they do. If what at some point in time skill you they lined up. They got seven. They can't stop with seven. They dropped eight. They can't stop now. They bliss completed zero nine gathering bought and they still can't stop can't stop them in their without their all pro left. Tackle ronnie staley as you predict friday. Sounds like he's not gonna make it and he did not in. It didn't matter. Run the ball and you know like you know what we want. Lombardo that's what we're we're not gonna let roy we're gonna put guys in the midnight. Run the football okay. And he ran football for fifty and they have still been without their first pick in the draft were shot bateman and it didn't matter right because he just said i got who i got and i'm gonna use mark andrews and sammy watkins marquees and.

"A great 12 combination. Tony Pollard, the Backup running back to his equal, It goes over 100 yards. Elliott also had a pretty good afternoon but much different name Game plan. Then we saw the previous week and remember they were shorthanded on defense to Marcus Lawrence was out with a broke his foot and practice, so he's out. Randy Gregory was out. Uh, they are just short handed Kobe problems, but they get the win in Windsor hard to come by. That's a nice stadium, so fi Yeah, they should the shot of dairy celebrating afterwards and I thought he's sitting there going. I hope I hope I hope The Super Bowl will be there in February. And remember, he said in camp, do anything known to man. To get back to the Super Bowl, so I'm sure he was sitting there yesterday going. I hope you come back to help you can come back, but they get the wind. It's a nice job going out and and that charges teams a good team, and that was their first game. Although you you didn't feel like maybe it was a road game. There were so many cowboy fans there in that area there. That's because that's why they go to arcs.

"I'm telling you what I think. I think the running back is finished. I think Tony Pollard is better. Well, I disagree, but let's talk about the kicks for a second. That's another that can improve those missed opportunities if they lost. The guy gear is saying it's going to cost him in the you know. End of the NFC. Playoffs thing because they lost the game or whatever, but Does miss kicks. He had back surgery coming in. He didn't kick much going. Not saying Greg Zuerlein is is I'm not saying I'm not saying cut him, but it's kind of like the overall theme is like I mean, there are people on Twitter going crazy. Cut them now get rid of them the guy before a little while, But I'm not those people on Twitter. I'm just talking about that the outcome of the game. The kicks are a bottom line thing in the outcome of the game. Let's just look at hold on for a second. The Giants host the Broncos. Is it out of the question that the Giants win that game? No. Okay. The heart took. No, I agree. The Giants. I'm just all I asked, was that one question The Eagles are in Atlanta against the Falcons. Is it out of the question? They win that game. Yeah. After this week, Cowboys were probably be tied with Washington for second place that I agree with. But I wire the wire Washington's favorite in their game hosting. I mean, they're hosting the charges. There's a there's a chance that I don't think they're going to win. So there's a chance that every team in the NFC East winds, but the Cowboys And then how do you think about the game? Okay, fine because I still think those teams are going to have to play better teams and they won't win. That's it. I think I mean, you can't win every game and I didn't expect him to win this game. I thought they were going to get killed. Well, there are nine point dogs by the time the kickoff started. You're not wrong. I'm not saying I'm not saying your perspective is wrong either. I'm saying I'm somewhere in the middle. So all I was saying is, as so a lot of this like chest beating right. And like, Wow, look at the how bout them Cowboys? I don't think it was a How about them Cowboys moment. I also don't think it was a ha ha Cowboys moment. I think it's somewhere in the middle. But I'm chattering your points to bring it down to the middle. They're they're weak, like the opportunity thing. Yeah, they could have won that game. You were just crying about penalties, mister. What do you mean? They're weak? No, No, I threw that in there. I threw that in there. I was just like you throwing in. The missed kicks. What they did miss kicks. I mean, the kicks are points. That's four points off the board. They win. The game of those kicks are made. Exactly what? Okay, You're looking at that as a reason to not think they're going to have a good season. I'm looking at it. I didn't say they're not going to have a good season. All I'm saying is, you never know. And you have an opportunity and you didn't capitalise on it that like I can understand again. Here's one side of the coin. Nobody thought they would win bubble bobble. You're playing Tampa, the defending champion right there. You had a chance to win the game That shows that you're a pretty good team. On the other side of the coin. You never know when these opportunities are going to present themselves and you didn't capitalize on the opportunity. That's the other side of it. How about Robert and South Florida? Robert, You're up next on the show. Hey, Robin. Thanks for taking my car. I am a Denver Bronco fan. And I'm looking forward to trade lands plan because I would really love the opportunity to look at Jimmy Garoppolo and maybe Aaron Rodgers in the free agent market next year. And for Shane, I would like to say this. As far as the Cowboys go the secular Elliott far his cost far exceeds his value. He got thrown to the ground by a guy who was on the practice squad two weeks ago. I mean, it wasn't the offensive line in the open field, particularly one on one against the guy who really was happy to be there. So that's all I got to say. Thanks for taking my call. Yes. Look, I mean, that play really stood out to me to it. There was a chance for a blocker to get out there and make a better block. But nonetheless, Zika Elliott on the outside five yards from the end zone. What, on one? And it's just stuff doesn't even gain anything just totally stood up. And Generally for you know an elite running back. You give them a chance. One on one with somebody in space. The person in space is in trouble. They might be looking silly. Put on the NFL equivalent of a poster if you will. Um And I just I don't see what he does. I did an elite level or even close to it anymore. And again. I'm not, Um Berman in his contract status. I don't care. It's not my team. I didn't pay him. It's not my money. Uh, the NFL's a brutal, brutal, brutal sport. More power to him for getting that money and he was a very good running back. I just don't see it. And I certainly don't see the people who were like, Why aren't you feeding him? What are you talking about? The Cowboys want to win. It's gonna be dark Prescott. That's how the Cowboys going to win on Dak Prescott arm. And those wide receivers that they have. That's how they're gonna win. So that's what they should be doing. That was smart. To rely On deck. And.
KNBR The Sports Leader
"tony pollard" Discussed on KNBR The Sports Leader
"We'll see how that holds up over the long haul because there's still question marks about the defense and then I think The biggest issue for them is Zeke Elliott. The fact that you know he was supposed to be the bell cow for that team, and I just don't think he's very good. Pulse up. I don't think he is a Top flight running back at all, or even close to it. And I think Tony Pollard is better. On their own roster. Plus. You know the NFL? I mean, used to I'm so used to say in 16 games 17 games now. You know, you never know how the rest of the season is going to play out. They also lose a player to suspension. I mean that division last year was bad shirt but could be improved across the board. Washington is no joke. So I think that the good sign is that Yes, they still should be the favorite in that division. Yes, they got their quarterback back. But a lot of things broken their favor in that game, and they didn't win it. And You know? You never know how the rest of it's going to play out. That you know when you have opportunities. To win games. You need to capitalize on him. So I I don't think I would just sit here and tell you, you know, I feel great about the Cowboys. After that loss, I feel Lukewarm. About the Cowboys after that loss, a moderate sense of measured sense of optimism is fine. That's cool, but I seen a lot of like chest beating, and I wouldn't go that far. What do you think? Cowboy Nation America's team? Should the That the NFL beyond notice 855 to 1 to 4 to 27855 to 1 to 4 to 27. Let's go to Cody and Boise, Cody. Europe First year on the Robin Lundberg Show, at least first in this hour. What's going on? Uh, you said everything that I was just about to say. Been a long time cowboy fan, But my wife is already stick of football season and hasn't been a full week. Uh, I am optimistic about the season. They did not capitalize on a lot of things we could have won the game if we made a field goal and an extra point And Taking on the Super Bowl champions. I think we look good, and I think an elegant can only get better from here. As long as that stays healthy. I do not think they speak is Our number one running back anymore. I think he needs to take the second team snaps if you're asking me, so that's all I have to say. I agree with everything you said, and have a good day Love the show. Well, appreciate. Look, I'm never mad when Tilly agrees with everything I said, I mean, sometimes more entertaining when people don't agree with what I say, and we can go back and forth, but I'm not gonna be mad. I mean, you're smart. You're smart band. You agree with everything I said that makes your borderline genius I would have to say. Probably close to it. If not officially all the way there. Genius. How about Cody and Dallas? Cody? You're up next on the show. What's going on going on, man? After watching Thursday. I've seen the same thing that we've been watching the last four years, uh, can put the ball in the end zone and the red Zone missing field goal. Um Defense looked walk at time. Antonio Brown running wild for 40 yard touchdown. I would call it skeptical Optimism. Um, if Dallas does start putting the ball in the end zone in the red zone and stopped doubling, will gold. Then you might have a problem. Well, all right. I mean, yeah, it's again that there were things that could have been done better or when. Whenever you say you should have won the game well, Then I don't know how you come away like celebrating and popping champagne. Um and there there is a lot that you know, as far as yardage as far as turnovers as far as penalties and all that stuff. And you still don't win. Then there's more than, um, It's a little bit of a red flag. I guess what I would say, uh, the other end of the spectrum. The other perspective is it was Tampa. It was Tom Brady and Tampa and they did win the Super Bowl and you were right there and probably should have beat him and even had the lead with whatever it was a minute and a half left that they gave the ball back. Tom Brady. So like I mean, I don't want to. Totally like, uh, shoot down the idea that a Cowboys fan could come away disappointed in the outcome, but Um With a positive spin on the future of the season or the season as a whole. How how the outlook could be, but I also You know, I'm somewhere in that I'm somewhere I'm agnostic about it. Because there there is Mhm remember being brought up when I was doing, uh, sports talk radio and in New York. It was about the Mets. This has nothing to do with the Cowboys, but I remember the Mets made it. And they had a big run. And Matt Harvey. Was was the star at that point. You know there. In the World Series and And all this stuff. And After That You know, Mets fans We're saying, you know, the future is so bright. And I said Yeah. You never know If you're going to get back there. It's not like a guarantee. You know those opportunities need to be capitalized on And that's the way it worked out. Not to say that That's always the case because I'm being a bit hypocritical because I'm also not somebody who says championship or bust. Because, you.

Ezekiel Elliott, agent touch down to finalize Cowboys deal
"Our reporter edward or who was in dallas following zeke situation closely. He said i've been told that agent. Rocky arsenault is traveling with running back ezekiel elliott from kabul to dallas. Remember zeke was working out in kabul bob now traveling back to his team's hometown source said an agreement between the team and the two-time n._f._l. Rushing champion is very close. Good news for cowboys cowboys fans as one is a pun us and it would be a good time to agree to a new deal multiple reports say again zeke left kabul to be back in dallas the hope being that if and when a deal gets done he would be in close proximity to the team and could rejoin them very quickly quickly michael. We'd said i this well. It's obviously <hes> on tuesday. You better be preparing with the people that you've got available to you for sunday and so we're working with the people that we have out here now and the ones that we have that we were going to be on the field and that's how we're preparing it will be great will be and would be great if a short period of time passes that zeke would be in that group but we'll see how wow today goes. We'll see how tamara goes. We'll see how the ensuing hours pan out again. Jerry jones commenting on this as he has throughout the process sometimes with better results than others but in any event when i said to you hey rocky. Our snow is with zeke elliot. He said you said what that is. Typically assigned things close. Yes yes exactly when the agents coming with the player that means. We're at the one yard line. We have some details to work out and again. We gotta remember that zeke elliott's already under contract so that's important he just joke right back in in terms of gain the physical done and sometimes it may take a day or two to work out the details with the agent get the approval in terms of some of the details worked out but in the meantime he could get the weekly game plan and there's speaking acclimated back <hes> very quickly so hopefully this gets resolved over the next day or so well jackie said this earlier but just to underscore underscore the point that sooner is better having said that you feel like as long as he's in camp. I mean not camp. I'm sorry with with the team and in practice by thursday day to be in the plan on thursday needs to be in by wednesday so so we gotta be close in order to go twenty four hours or so but it doesn't surly a matter how many players but it could be the most important place and we talked about this earlier you know just from past protections point he may be out there on third downs and in non non running situations because of his conditioning. Tony pollard has taken every rep in every meeting so i got to imagine that tony pollard even with zeke there this week will be a big part of the game well. It's so easy to think about zeke and to be effective. He's got to have the football on his hands but to your point pass protection is something he can do and has done and if that's what it is this week then so be it then you surviving advance so to
The Herd with Colin Cowherd
Holdout Ezekiel Elliott still absent from Dallas Cowboys as first game draws near
"Saturday multiple outlets report that there is some progress negotiation zeke and the cowboys and the expectation was that they would have something worked out by the end of the weekend then last night multiple reports stated that negotiations had fallen flat once again the category on structure the contract like total guaranteed money over how many years not necessarily how much the contract could top out at basically zeke is holding says i want todd gurley contract and then some the cowboys you're saying no because the dot girly contracts hawks folks because todd gurley is not right and if the rams were asked hey. Would you like to go sign. The curly contract again like no no. We're good. We love me on that one. This amid word you always has more cowboys have consistently shown willingness to sign their best players to extensions with two years remaining and make a player. The highest paid his position the fact that they're preparing to start the season without ezekiel ezekiel elliott has a holdout says a lot about how they view his demands. I drafted zeke elliott in in one of my fantasy leagues would have drafted him yesterday and the other fantasy league and my logic is there rawson rachel. He didn't really have have anywhere to go. He's under contract going anywhere and the whole sitting out thing like all right. He could sit out a couple of games. They're not gonna lose to the redskins or lose to the giants or lose lose to the dolphins which is not and this is not the lady on bell situation. He's not a free agent. Franchise tag like he still is under his rookie deal. Deal cowboys are in fact offering him a contract above and beyond that of a franchise tag. They're offering emigrate deal. Cowboys need him. They need him for later in the season need him to win a super bowl. The team is built around. Having a solid running game takes the pressure off dak prescott because it helps it helps to hide the fact that dak isn't deck. I mean that isn't that special. He is an elite but when is given all the weapon who work for he's going. He's fine. He's he's. He's he's draymond. Green deck is dre mongering with the cowboys really really effective without the cowboys and all they have probably just a guy but it's really hard to i find it draymond green just hard quarterbacks league and he has the equity and he continues to grow in terms of being a leader but this is ross and rachel. They're on a break but they're gonna get back together. A namesake tony pollard won't matter in a week or two weeks or a month or whenever and it it feels like the the cowboys probably went back and said look. We'll give you tell total dollar value of that todd gurley we just want to protect ourselves from your legal and bad the way the todd gurley did the cowboys haven't publicly once said anything said anything about you know dude. You were suspended six games and we went to the mattresses for you. Hey dude you almost got suspended this off season and we would have been therefore you. We would have said how wrong it was. We have fought for you. There is some there is some some some sweat equity from zeke but there's also some equity from extended from the cowboys and the other thing about the ross and rachel story to be honest at some point it did take away from the show right like i get it ross rachel. We'll be back together. Who are they dating now. When can they get back together all this other stuff but i like chandler. I like joey. I like how you doing.

Ezekiel Elliott found Jerry Jones' 'Zeke who?' joke 'disrespectful'
"Jerry jones may have unintentionally lee stirred the pot with ezekiel elliott and it seems to have gotten the running backs attention after the cowboys second preseason game jerry jokingly said zeke who when discussing discussing the performance of rookie running back tony pollard but think wasn't laughing yesterday zeke's agent told e._s._p._n. Quote. I didn't think it was funny and neither did zeke. We actually thought it it was
