Hangin' with the Boys: Why Simplify?

we got we got you. How you fellas there? I think I'm here. I think I'm not sure it's Friday. I'm kind of out of it, all right, you guys? Good? Yeah, yeah, I minute. Wow, We're good. Bro. We we need a pre show. We need a show of just the pre shown show just for us in the pre show that is comedy, ye stuff. Like I enjoy my job, I like I like working for the Cowboys. I don't think we need I don't think we need that in the public domain. No, no, unless it we dub it reality

in that way we can get by. Yeah. True, Kurt, where do you want to start? Kick us off? Man? Where do you want to take Now you're the host of this thing, Um, where do you want to start here? Okay? I question, I gotta Okay, I got a question for Yeah, I got a question for you. So you got you got Tying banged up, you got DeMarcus Lawrence banged up, you got Digs banged up. All these guys kind of hurting. Do you arrest him this week? You've got three home games coming up, you gotta have you got a five

game stretcher that should be pretty easy. Should you rest these guys and look big picture and be ready for the next few games. I think it's it's totally based on individual players. I think we all agree at these first four or five games, the Cowboys needed to come out at worst one game over five hundred. If they are under a game five hundred, this murderers rode is coming up. And these teams, I pull up these teams records. All the teams were playing are either one in one

or two. And oh and it's art the season. So the Cowboys need to come on if the if it just if it's a terrible situation, Zenica, let's go to work. Are we talking? Are we talking load management? We three in the season and that it's not. But we've come to we've come to the load management this season. Tyrne Smith, Maybe you do need load management. You load manage them in practice. You can't load manage them in the game.

Like these games are so important. How many times have we look back in the last ten fifteen years and we've missed the playoffs and we look back and we say, man, and we would have had that game early in the year, or we would have had that game we be in like this team has been perpetual if we would have had that game perpetually, if we would have had that game. You you, you don't have room to miss games. You

don't have room to just take els. You don't have a squad good enough where you can say, you know what we could, we could we can chalk this lap to the game because I'm confident enough that we're gonna run off the next nine tenth straight and put ourselves in the position to win the division in November. You don't this team isn't that just yet? There's nothing about this team that you feel confident enough to say that we can quote unquote low manage and give games away.

You just can't especial when we look at the game that's in the NFC. So it's not in our division, but it's in our conference. Yeah. So this is this is a game that you're looking at now at the end of the year, if you're looking for a wild card, if you're looking to try to squeeze in the back during the playoffs, this kind of game is going to matter. This game is going to come up and hold a

little bit of weight. So get your towels, get your vinegar, get your mothballs, get your you know, get your rub and tug, whatever you got to do, whatever it is you got. Okay, But all right, I get it. I get there, and I agree. I agree. They should all all be playing if they can. I guess what I've seen and what you hear from people, though, is that this game Sunday, on your best day is going to

be a tough game to win. You've got three home games after that, You've got road games at Washington Affhilly are both winnable. I mean, you, this next stretch, you gotta you gotta make Hay in this next stretch, you gotta win at least four of those games. Probably, So if you're not ready and it starts Sunday. Have but what if you're going you cannot afford to lose a game the NFC, and I'll give you the NFC West. They have four teams here, Arizona, Los Angeles, Seattle in

San Francisco. All of them are two and old. Except San Francisco. They're one in one. So if the playoff was a start to day, Cowboys wouldn't even be in riskins being at one in one because they won the game first, and that was last week against the division opponent, in a conference opponent, So the Cowboys would just barely, if barely, get in there. Bro, you this thing is ugly. You've lost to the Rams already. You barely be Atlanta. You cannot lose. You you not. You do not have

a grace period. All right, all right, well I don't want to lose additional players or these guys either, so but I agree, agree, but they're not gonna play tyrone. They're not gonna play tyrone. The thing that is killing us is when we have these mystery injuries on a Thursday or Friday that sends the team into a mad scramble. Oh this Friday, here are this Thursday. Guess what, somebody got hurt that sends the team into a mad scramble. Now you gotta stop putting guys on the squad. You

gotta start doing this. Now. We love Brandon Carr, but as you actually think he would be an integral part in week three of our defensive scheme that Okay, you have to win some games. You and you have to come up in this case and this season with one or two games that you didn't expect to win. You got to win those games. Hey, go go back to that isolation shot of Nate real quick. I want to show you. That's a great shot of the SWBC mortgage thermostat there in your room there, Nate. That's a good

Thank you man, Thank you brother. You know if I if you know, Bro, I'm gonna visit your house late one night when you wake up, everybody's gonna be they. But brother, Kurt, more than what you're saying, brother, if it was a basketball season, I'm quite should just be like, yeah, man, the first twenty games, let's let him ride. But it's one game and it's sixteen one games, right, Yeah, how

would you guys attack this? You're the Kurt put in his notes the best defense is a good offense and said that McCarthy wants to score as fast as they can, as many times as they can. Have started the game, have you know, have they been tested with the run? The first two opponents they played don't really have that great of a running game. Would you guys come out and just pound the rock and see what happens in the first quarter, or would you try to get in

a track meet with these guys. This is where they have been special. Against Atlanta, at halftime it was fourteen twelve in their favor. Then all of a sudden, they made two great plays in the third quarter and they scored fourteen unnousked points and in the third quarter Atlanta did not score at all. They scored fourteen points against the Pats. There's fourteen fourteen halftime, and then in the third quarter they scored fourteen points and the Pats on

the scored three. That is where they're making a hay early in this seasons. In the third quarter. They're making adjustments as the game go on, but when they go in they got something that either add or take away that gives them the momentum in that third quarter, and then from that point on where they get that lead or even you up it seeing that they get better and better, and Russell Wilson just takes over the game

with its temple and play. So the Cowboys, now, I don't have to play well and score because I've been saying it and I'm gonna keep saying it. You got to give in this league of scoring. You got to score in thewhere from seven to ten points a quarter, and that way it keeps you balanced in the game, because to fall behind in any one of these games is to suffer and now you one dimensional. But if you keep it even you get, you get a champ.

But they're gonna have to negate this third quarter for the for these guys Seattle, because that is where they're making their hay. They're gonna jump out and get a lead, don't they. And that's why somebody gonna lead to me, this team has to come out and be an aerial attack. When you look at what Seattle is doing right now, they're giving up four hundred and nineteen yards of passing per game, giving up the most. Yeah, they're literally last in the National Football League or first in a fashion

of the football. Have you want to put it they're giving up the most passing yards in all of football. They're slot corner. Uh no, he just replaced Marquez right, got hurt. Yeah, he's giving up eighty percent completion percentage to the receiver that he's garden in the slot this game. Let's be honest, this is going to be a poorly

defensive game, especially in the secondary, on both sides. On both sides, you're going to have to go out here and score points because you are going to be able to rely on your defense to shut Seattle's offense down. I think Seattle's offense might be able to make one play more than your defense. So that tells me offensively, the Cowboys have to come out there and go up two and three touchdowns because they letting Russ cook in

the second half. They're letting Rush be more of Russ and now he's able to do things at his level, at his tempo, at his pace, and that seemed to be working for them. The Cowboys can't they can't come out slow this game. They can't come out flat. That won't be an excuse anymore, because if you come out flat against this team, with this defense that we have, we're gonna be facing the deficit, and I don't believe

Seattle is what Atlanta was in the second half. They're not going to choke away a game like Atlanta did. They're not going to have those miscus and they're not going to have those dropped touchdown passes. They're going to capitalize on them because they're a well coached football team with planning players who can make those plays. So if I'm the Cowboys, you gotta come out, man and and see what do what teams do to us? Watch the film, see what we're weak at, and attack it. Teams do

it to us all the time. But we somehow, some way think well we're gonna come in then and do this our way and not really attack their weaknesses. Tool it's too late, No, come out and really test. Hey, they've given up four hundred and nineteen yards. I'll come out the first play, play action and bomb it. I'll come out first play the game and send a Maria somebody on a deep pulse or however you want to do it, and really test and let them know we are coming at your weak spot all day long period.

I would have I would come out with a high tempo like no huddle, yeah, something because they had the problem, this problem last year, they're han't it again this year. Where they come out they just look slow, they look sluggish. They can't get a thing going until they get behind. And then against the Rams it was too little too late. Against the Falcons should have been too little too late, had some things go your way, But I would come out.

It seems like they when they getting to bind and they really need to score some points in a short amount of time, and they raise the tempo, they get in that rhythm, that's when they start clicking. Why why would you not test that? Why is there a drawback to that? Too? Starting too quick? The only drawback to starting quick is that if you are not successful, it's bang,

bang bang. Your defense is out there. And if you come out the same way again and you don't establish something, it's literally a minute and a half any your defense is back out there. So that's the only drawback to the whole open up quick and I agree with you, Shannon, but you gotta be successful in it. Like if you're starting quick, it can't be a three and out. You know, even if it's a seven, eight, nine and out, you've eaten up some clock. You're giving your defense some time

to rest. But if you come out and it's bang bang bang punt, bang bang bang punt, bang bang bang punt, if their offense is holding that ball three minutes plus, I'm with you, right, if their office is coming back

at you. Yeah, that's the only drawback on it. You gotta be successful in doing that because too much of that puts a huge strain early in the game when your defense, If that opposing team's offense is coming down, and even if they're not scoring, if they have your defense on the field three four minutes, five minutes, eight nine, ten, play drives that just way that wears you down over time. And then, like we've seen in the second half, that

Seattle team will we'll put it on you. So here though they're playing fast, time of possession is going to be a big deal in this game. Yeah, but only only if only if you're playing fast and not having success. See, if you're playing fast and having success, if you're scoring points, if you're getting in the red, getting touchdowns, tim possession doesn't matter. It doesn't matter then because we're going, we're scoring points, we're in it, we're grooving. But if you're

if you're going fast and have nothing to show for it. Now, you're just putting a strain on your defense to now have to make a stop to whereas they may be able to say, you know what, well, we're up twenty one or we're up fourteen. So even if we don't get a stop right now, the way our offense is flowing will be okay because they're gonna put punch on the board and not put such a strain on us. Well, what the deal is? You got two totally different offenses.

If we come out tempo trying to get sixty seventy seventy five plays, they're trying to keep it around sixty. Russell is taking this time. They've averaging sixty sixty plays a game. Yeah, but they can't take they can't take their time, Nate, if we have fourteen points, yeah, if we have seventeen about it? But but but but Jesse, you know you can't say you can't worry about success and then you gotta go out and get it. You

got to go out. If it's three to four or five position road, you gotta go on out and get it. You know, you either gonna up temple it and try to have success or have success, and don't worry about it. Are you gonna have to worry about it? Because you gotta look at you gotta look at Seattle and the way they run the offense and how they try to batter and bruise you with them big horses up front. You gotta look at it. All right, We're gonna look at our first break and our first horse break in

the mouth. We'll be back. Talk more Seattle cowboys, horse break in the mouth. Jesse explain what he just said, thinking gift horse, trying to be creative and funny, and I just just corse break. Get Mama Gross to take your spot. We'll be back with the boys. We'll be back, ladies and gentlemen. It's that time again for tailgating with the outer Box boys.

All right, what are we gonna do now, Let's see, let's have some let's you know what, let's save the let's save for the last segment nice not nice, or need a little grace, We'll save that in our predictions for the game. But right now, let's let's try to figure out what's gonna happen on Sunday. Um Kurt did some digging and he found a Seattle Seahawks blogger that said pressure up the middle has been a problem for Russell Wilson in the past. That obviously is not

a strong point of this Cowboys defense. Is there anything you can do scheme wise or anything. Is it blitz packages or anything like that that you can create pressure up the middle? Or is it just one of those things where if you don't have the guys right now playing the way they should be playing and you're not getting pressure, you can't create pressure without the guys performing. Well, Well,

let me say this here. What I've d from coach McArthur that they're going to simplify schemes on defense, so a lot of the creativity that it may have been thinking they may back off of we've had no pressure from the middle of our defense, and you cannot sacrifice an extra body coming up the middle when your coverage has not been nice. So guess what They're gonna play a basic scheme. We're back to the single high safety or how it goes. And here we go. Jesse's shaking

his head round. I'm just I'm not I'm not shaking my head at night. This is the approach that we're gonna take. We're gonna get beat by forty. I'm telling you we're If you're gonna give Russell Wilson all the time in the world in the pocket, hell should you? Hell, he's too good. You you gotta get up there. Double a gap blitz. You gotta bring some pressure. You gotta use some spies to contain Russell Wilson. You gotta do

some dog blitzes. You know when when when the running back commits somewhere else, sending a guy who was guarding him. You gotta do something. A cat a cat corner blitz every now and again. You have to. And I get so frustrated hearing that these players are looking for a more simplified system and I'm never going to question a man's intelligence, and less it's Nate, then I'm questioning is

intelligence all day long. But at some point in time, you have to be able as a player too, mentally, be able to do this game at a high level. The physical part great, but everybody's big, strong, fast. You would not be here if you didn't have the physical traits to play here. But what separates the average from the good to the great to the Hall of famers,

it shoulders up. And my goodness, if every time we turn around, we gotta simplify this, and we gotta dumb down this, and we gotta we're not going to win because everyone else is playing at a much We're playing checkers and they're playing chess. Okay, we're in the slow lane and they're in the fast lane. They're we're doing things at at at at a elementary rate, and they're

doing things at a college preparatory rate. And if that's going to be who we are as a unit with our thinking for players, we will we will always find ourselves. On a man, this team show is talented, but that's only going to get you so far. You have to have the intelligence for a coach to be able to give you multiple looks, multiple schemes, multiple adjustments, because that's what this game is about. It's a game within a game. It's a chess match. It's when you move, I've already

moved two steps ahead of you. Oh you finally caught up. I'm on the next move. And if you're just doing move by move by move, it's going to be checkmate every single time. And we're gonna find ourselves eight and eight, nine to seven, missing the playoffs or out in the first round because this game from the shoulders up is being played and we're just trying to do this thing from shoulders down, and that way we won't be able

to compete. It sounds like then that they're having to make it simple because we just don't have the players to make it more complex. I mean, how can you blitz and do all that if you don't have the secondary or whatever to Okay, but only eleven guys gonna be on the field at a time. You can't put

twelve on the field. You've had these guys isolated for over six weeks now, Okay, even if you if you kept it simple, you should still have basic blitzes and schemes already in that everybody is ran the practices I went to. It wasn't like first team second team thirteen. It was first teams, second team for few third teams. They was running the offices and the defense. And given everybody exposure to these same plays and same I saw

guys downing up all over the place. First team is second team, the third team with guys that are now in the practice squad. So you exposed to this. Now it's jesse we're saying. When it becomes real time, fast time live, as they said, you got to be able to adjist, you got to be able to make the calls, because it's amazing. We could not beat Russell Wilson. We could not control Russell Wilson and somebody simple to save the cause, well, we couldn't scheme it up. How does

that sound? Should the one thing that hey, Kurt, one thing I'm one thing I'm surprised about though, is it so far It's only been two games, but the scoring across the NFL teams are averaging twenty five point one points per game. That's way above what the historically the

averages have been about twenty two twenty three. So it kind of shows that maybe out of the gate, with no preseason, no offseason, that offenses are really having the advantage over the defenses right now, which surprised because officers are so complex these days. I thought it might be the other way around in some ways. But does that surprise you at all that the offenses have seemed to show him such advantage, not just Cowboys or Seahawks, but

really across the league. Well, Jesse talked about it in the first week and when we was leading up to the first game, and I agree with him one hundred percent. What will motion due to a team that is putting in a new scheme? What will motion due to a team that has a young or a new defensive coordinator, And we're seeing what motion and movement is doing to our guys. They cannot adjust fast enough and make the plays that's necessary and more important to the calls that's

necessary to defeat these plays. So, uh, yeah, any team that brings in a lot of motion, Uh, they're gonna have a chance to trip up a team. Yeah, especially if they got the athletes. You're hearing that, you know, you're hearing that they're they're going to simple by the defensive schemes, and then we heard earlier this week that some of the guys are going from being stand up

guys to putting their hand in the dirt. Do you think that's an encouraging sign that this coaching staff is willing to listen to the players and adjust and adapt or is it is it a concern that does it look like they got in here and they misevaluated the talent in the off season by looking at them on tape, and then now that they've got them in some game action, they're like, we don't have the guys to pull off

what we thought we could. What do you guys think, Well, we as experts knew that it was going to be adjustment for some of these guys. The coaches already said that they're drafting players because they think they're smart enough and talented enough to be on this ross and nake. They will make the adjustments. And guess what, the coaches are making the adjustments they said they will up before the season, They said it before the draft. Now they

are making these adjustments. Now we need for the players to say, Okay, this is how I fit within the scheme. Okay, let's play let's play within this scheme and now I'm in a three point stance that goes for d law, that goes for ever some and Griffin guys that, uh, that that feels more comfortable. Let's do it. I mean, because they have been a step behind. They haven't getting reached, blocked, they have been getting duced off the ball. They have been a split second slope. So get back to who

you are so you can help the team win. Jesse any thoughts on that, No, Nate, you know, Nate was correct. I'm encouraged that the coaches are willing to adjust. I mean we've we've we've we've had PTSD from coaching the past where things have been going wrong. Yeah, and it kept going wrong, and it kept going wrong, and it kept going wrong, and it kept going to the point where it was so it was so wrong we couldn't

get right. And then it was like, Okay, now we'll change. Well, hell, we're so deep in our own ish we can't get out of it. So it's it's it's it's good to see that coaches are willing to adjust and willing to make changes early in the season, but at some point in time you have to lock in on something at some point time, you have to commit to something and that has to be with what you go with. And and and I have a saying where I say, be be firming your goal, but be flexible in your your, your,

your your, your, your journey. Right, be firming what you want to be, but just be flexible on the way there. But you gotta be firming something so you can you can kind of adjust through there, but you gotta you gotta lock in on something and then adjust, tinker here and there. But all this mixing and changing and all this kind of stuff, no one's ever going to get comfortable if this is what you're constantly doing with a player.

And that's different from adjusting to a game plan. If you're constantly adjusting players in their techniques and stuff like that throughout the course of the year, that's that's gonna that's gonna that's gonna mess you up. That's gonna mess you up because you're gonna be thinking. That's different from saying, hey, last week, we played this team, this, we played this

type of team, so we're gonna adjust to that. But if if it's up down, left foot up, right foot up, all that kind of tinkering you gotta figure something out and you gotta go with it and you gotta make it work. But I am encouraged that this this this coaching staff is willing to make the adjustments early in the season because we've seen you what it looks like the other way around. All right, let's take our last

horse break of the day. When we come back, We're gonna play a little nice, not nice, and then I'm gonna go around the horn and say the Cowboys win if and you answer, cannot be if they score more points than the Seahawks on Sunday, you gotta give me something a little more better than a horse. Sound right, better than a horse? Sense you can you can throw that in there for good measures. So we'll give you

our predictions. We'll play a little nice, not nice or need a little grace when we come right back after this horse break on hey, with the boys, ladies and gentlemen, It's that time again for tailgating with the Auterbox boys.

Back to Hanging with the Boys, Welcome Back Desk, WBC, Mortgag's Living Room, Frisco, Texas, Jesse Holly, Nate Newton, Kurt Daniels, I am Shanning Gross and you can tour at and T Stadium, the home of the Dallas Cowboys. Jesse Holly opened up that stadium, and he would be more than happy to let you know how nice the locker room is. Shoot him a tweet and interact with him on Twitter. He'll let you know all about it. You can run on the field, you can see that locker room that

Jesse raves about, and so much more. You see the cheerleader locker room, all kinds of cool stuff at and T Stadium. Tours presented by ze Zek Geek are available daily visit att stadium dot com. Four details. All right, fellas, let's pick up where we left off yesterday. A little fun little thing we were doing was uh nice, which means you like what the guy's doing and you you want to see more of him. Not nice, He's not

doing a great job. He needs to step up or you need a little grace because you haven't really quite seen enough. So let's let's flip over to the defensive side of the ball. This one's interesting. I want to know what you got and this is this is just through two games. It's not an overall body of work. It's just what you've seen this season from the guy DeMarcus Lawrence nice not nice or needs a little grace? Kurt, you go first. M man Um not nice, not nice,

I'm going right now. Not nice. I wanted to give him some benefit of the doubt because he may not be totally healthy. But yeah, he just hasn't lived up to don't play. I just want to said you wanted to play. Let's go to another guy, Everson Gravy. What have you seen so far? Jesse nice dot nice? Need a little grace? Not nice. He hasn't played well. He

hasn't played well for this football team. We expected Everson Griffin to come in and be much more of a disruptive pass rusher, and early on in the season, in the first two games, we haven't seen it. We've seen We've seen Everson Griffin be more ferocious on damn Twitter than we've seen him be in a football game. He's been more animated. He's been more animated with a dance

at their own side kick than I've seen in years. Yeah, if all the action we're talking about from a player, if we're if we're if all the action we're talking about from a player is what you've done on social media instead of what you've done in the actual football game. Not nice to me? Wow, all talking him a little bit? Ever, see him a little grace just because he's new. That's at mister fourth and long. By the way, Everson, if you want to get after him like you, just the different.

The difference between me and Cavanaugh is, I'm i'm, I'm I'm gonna I'm I would not let me, let me keep my job jump in save Jesse's job. What were you gonna say? I would probably give him a little grace just because he's only had two games. He's new here, new system, new place, new just trying to get comfortable. So, yeah, you hadn't met expectations yet, but I think we'll seem I hope we see better down the road, all right, Nate your guy don Terry Plow. Not not nice, No, sir,

I expected much better. I expected much much better. I expected. No, I ain't care nothing about sacks through the pressure that he would give in the middle when carton pass situations would be better, he would be a better run defender. Uh. Not nice, not nice. Uh, let's skip over to Jesse, Jesse Tristan Hill nice nice? Um. I want nice, but I don't want to get too hype. I want to say, he's yeah. I like what I'm seeing from Tristan Hill. It's it's a one eighty for what he was a

year ago. But we need more. We need more of that. We need to see more of that on Sunday and you and you have to earn people. You know that they're they're they're they're congratulatory praise of you. So nice so far, but I want to don't don't don't make me say nice today and then not nice you on Monday because you didn't show up on Sunday. So nice? What what sprinkle of grace? All right? Fair enough, fair enough,

Nate Tyrone Crawford grace. He got one or two more games for me, man, I have never came off that type of surgery to hip surgery. So I'm giving him grace. He got two games, him and Coach McCarthy on the same page. You got two more games to show me this game in the next game, then I need explosion in the fifty guys hurt right now. But through the first two games, cheeto, cheeto. Oh man, uh, well, I want to see more. I guess I can give me

these guys that I don't like Kurt Hurt. You're shitting down. You're sitting down, answer game. I had good answers out here. He's one of the highest profile guys, Kurt, How could you not have done? Okay? Yeah, you're on the benches. Darien Thompson um not nice? Not nice again. These are all guys who we want to see more from. We heard about all the great things that you were doing in training camp. How you know how productive you were in training camp? You know, given his history though, it's

just hess, he did you expect much more? I mean, isn't it kind of I want to see interceptions. I want to. I want to I want to see more. I want to see more. All these guys I wanted a lot of them want to see more more from. So it's not it's not I I don't I don't want to. I gotta make a decision. I gotta either go grace or not nice. And since then they haven't been playing well as a unit. It has to go

to the to the to the to the not nice situation. Yeah, that's but I concerned with some of these guys though. It's like Ontario Poe. I didn't really expect him to be a world changer. You know, I guess they're not, but in some ways I just think they are what you thought they would be. You know, No, no, Don Terrio po has always been first and foremost as a run stop, hold on Nate, time out. I gotta say this because people they reach out to me all the time,

don't do it. Don't do because it don't do it. He got Kurt saying it. Now, he got Kurt saying, there's no on this man by his rightful name. You keep putting an oh on Ontario, and it's just Don Terry. They kill me all the time on Twitter about it. Tell Nat it's Don Terry. It's not do Ontario. It's Don Terry. Tell of them and you tell them for me and capital let us. When he make a play, I would call him Don Darry. And when two thing he's done Terio boat chop eating boat okay, yeah, tell them. Yeah.

I put on my suit side bro, thank you. I put on my susan yeah yeah, and caps and put a big old done Terry. You call that man well well, because I find joy every time you say Ontario. It makes me laughing side yeah, and to hear, to hear Kurt, say it just I almost lost it. Like that is amazing that you call it what you need to call it. Man, I'm like this man, and you know what, being respect for his name is done, Terry Pole. I understand that's

being respectful. But you know what I expected more. I didn't care about no pass rush, but I knew that if it was gonna be a successful defense, we had to have some runstopping ability and that has not shown up front. Done, Terry O Pole, No, Terry done, Terry O Pole. All right, let's go around the horn. Kurt. No, never mind, you're terrible. We're not talking to you. We're not doing that. Start with Nate. Nate, the Cowboys win if they control tempo. If they control tempo, if Dad

and his plethora of players control tempo. Because they got to control tempo, not only for themselves offensively and execute, they have to control tempo to save their defense so they can have a nice second half. We need for third quarter to be a dominant theme for the Dallas Cowboys. Dad and the offense have to control tempo. Good Jesse, the Cowboys win if our defense hold Russell Wilson under

three h yards passing. How about touchdowns. You know that guy. Yeah, you know that's got to do a part of it because he can go frost two hundred yards and getting a lot of scores. No, if they if they hold it for under three hundred yards and under three touchdowns, they win. About thank you. Last week he threw with two hundred and eighty nine yards. Jesse, didn't he two hundred eighty nine yards, five touchdowns? One one inception? You shoot,

I'm sho okay, I'm riding, I ride, Okay? What about that? Maybe him to ride him? Kurt made man, he's just talking. Look at it. He just to talking. I am going to say the Cowboys win if I'm gonna keep it simple if Zeke rushes for more than a hundred yards, because I think if that happens, they're already going to control the pass game. I think there's not gonna be an issue controlling or throwing for as many yards as

they need to. If they control the tempo, like Nate said, with the run game, I think they win this game if Zeke gets over one hundred yards. All right, let's go around the horn and give our score predictions. Nate final score of Cowboys Seahawks is we need an upset. We need a upset, and I feel it. Oh, Cowboys win by seven. I don't know what the score be, but Cowboys win by seven. Cowboys everybody seven? Okay? Voice of reason Jesse. Final score prediction. I'm going to Seattle

forty one Cowboys thirty seven for forty one Cowboys thirty seven. Kurt, you're back with us? I'm back, yes, all right, Cowboys first. Cowboys win if I think one. They need a fast start, like Nate was kind of talking about with tempo too. They gotta get some turnovers. They gotta somehouse keep Seattle from reaching the end zone every day time, so they've got to come up. They gotta win the turnover battle, all right. Final score. I don't think they will win

the turnover battles. I've gone with Seattle's probably gonna win it. You know, it'll be like thirty eight twenty eight, thirty eight twenty eight, Jesse, would you have forty one Cowboys thirty seven's all right? Yeah, all right? And I got to win the toss and take the ball. Win the toss and take the ball. Said, we're setting Temple. That's all they have to do. Man, win the toss and take the ball and score score. That's all easy as that.

I am going to go. This pains me, but I need to see more out of this Cowboys, this Cowboys team. I am going to go Seattle thirty seven, Cowboys thirty four. I don't think they can pull it off. I need to see more. If they win this week, I'm I'm off the rail and I'm back on the ship. But I'm straddling that rail this week and we have to record the water three in this trying to go to Mexico. It has wow wow for real. I want this team to keep me from going, but they haven't shown me

anything yet. That's that's got me to cancel my trip yet. So let's see what happens. So wait, so wait, so wait, So have you already bought the ticket to Mexico? Yes? He has. I'm telling you no, they're not having Got Sick this year, they're not having the concert this year. But he's going anyway. He's going anyway. I'll go, wife and going anyway you get, you get. I'm guaranteeing you I will be in Mexico at some point after the

end of this season. It just won't be where I normally go, so all right, Fellas, we gotta let Beam get out of here. Chris, thanks for keeping us on the air. Great shows this week, Fellas, Jesse, thanks for yes and bringing in the coming. Kurt, let them close, Kurt, get you for them big boys to talking. I shared and Grows signed off on this last I'm on the gross. Bye,

baby girls, Sunday. Let's go by this, Patsy bybe. This has been a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
