Talkin' Cowboys: Bold Predictions For Week 2

Mortgage Studios at the Star in Frisco. My goodness, it feels good to be back, idiot, It is good to be back. We've got any going on here over the next forty minutes or so. Heck Ma Harrison, We've got Isaiah standback. Of course, we're Hob Phillips looking dapper as always here on this Friday. I'm Kyle Yeoman's and gentlemen, we're gonna bring the mojo today. You know that we always bring the mojo, Yeah, but we're gonna bring the

mojo a little bit more Austin powers. Yeah. However last night and Mike McCarthy mentioned this this morning on the fan, but the dojo was not or was was left behind, and that's don't jump offsides the dojo. On a little Thursday night football in the NFC East as well, the New York Giants gave that football game away, didn't that? They didn't do that. I fell asleep. Did you not watch it? I was watching it? You didn't watch the end of it? I fell asleep. You're the oldest young guy.

I'm the lighthouse guy, that lighthouse. I don't know if it's gonna happen. Heck, you see. So the guy they threw the game away pretty much. Yeah, I mean Washington botched a field goal attempt and then there was offsides called. They got another chance at it, and he knocked it through to win it. Yeah, after the Giants were up by more than a touchdown with like two forty five left on the clock. Did you see Washington's Twitter account? No? I didn't. Was it savage? They? Yeah, they did a

gift from dealer, no deal open up the suitcase. Yeah, and then the guy the contestant with the Giant's logo on his face very disappointed. That was genius. Yeah, but yeah, so Washington comes out on top on on Thursday Night Football over the Giants thirty to twenty nine. Really what was a very sloppily pit played football game, which I think is a that's a win for for the Cowboys overall as a fact of how sloppy it was beginning

to end. But at the same time, the Cowboys have some more stuff going on in their own right as well. As we get into the weekend. I want to talk about Randy Gregory really quickly. Where is the update status, Where where he's at right now, and the protocol of COVID nineteen and should he be able to play coming up on Sunday. Mike actually addressed it on the fan this morning. He said he's still in protocol if he's not able to practice by Saturday, because today's that kind

of rest regeneration day for the Cowboys. If he's not practicing Saturday before their trip to LA then he will not play in the game. And I would not count on it, you know, Zack Martin said last week was there you know, he was asked, was there any chance you were going to play coming off the COVID stuff, And he's like, no, no. So I mean every case is different, but I think they're preparing not to play

with with Randy on Sunday. Yeah, the fact of the matter is if he has to either be testing negative twice right in a forty eight hours span or is it twenty four hours span twenty four hours apart? Okay, yeah, and then asymptomatic as well, so for forty eight hours if he does, if he is experiencing symptoms right now, it looks like Randy Gregory is going to be right up on the window and it doesn't look like he'll play.

So the Cowboys certainly look like they need to have a backup plan in terms of the past rusher spot, and we talked about it yesterday. There's a massive amount of guys that are going to be there. But is this the biggest area of concern Isaiah going into the Chargers matchup or there are other areas of concern outside of the edge rusher spot that you have your mind on. Right tackle? It is right tackle, state tackle hands. Now, we have other guys, now understand, they're not Randy Gregory,

they're not DeMarcus Lawrence. Don't I want everybody coming after me. However, I said it on one of the other shows. I don't believe that we were going to have a great opportunity to get back in and get justin Herbert. Anyways, I don't think that he was going to sit back there and allow for our defense ends to have a shot at sacking him or strip sacking him, whatever you want to call it. Um So I don't think. I mean now, in the rushing game, I think that those

will we will miss their presence in that form. But I think at Bradley and I I think at Duran's armstrot, I think at to rub bash them. I think those guys will be able to come in and give the effort right that we were we've grown to expect from Gregory and Lawrence. Effort will be there. What impact will they have on the running game, We'll see. I believe that we were going to have the blitz to get pressure anyways, But this is a West Coast style offense.

The ball is coming out hot. So just like we did not get into TV twelve last week, that that's what I would expect to really go into. That's what be my expectation going into this game as well. But in terms of the right tackle position, I'm worried there because of just the dogs that they have on an opposing side, but also what we have to do and what we have to take away from our offense in order to make sure we account for that. So the opportunity is that the opportunity costs is what I'm really

concerned about. Well, obviously the organization isn't worried about it because they hadn't made any changes, they hadn't gone out and gotten and you know, they hadn't done anything hasty at all, so they trust their depth at the position. And I for one want to see how this plays out. But I think, how do you mitigate this? Right, you want to go by by committee with the guys that you just named, but I think you do it by

getting pressure in the middle. And I think if you don't allow Herbert to step up in the pocket, then I think all of those things on the outside start happening for you. And I think that's where Tank maybe has suffered in the past, because we just have not had that pressure in the front. I mean last year, and I know, like we don't like to go back to last year, but it was horrid. We were not getting any pressure at all in the middle of our defense.

And so I'm just hoping I don't know if they're gonna bring Hamilton up from the practice squad, but I know we need to beef it up in the middle and just make sure that they do not establish the run in this game. This is important. I know we're going to talk about Justin Herbert and his weapons and what he can do, but every team against us, they want to establish the run first. And I think, you know, Austin Eckler is going to be a massive part of what the Chargers want to do. Yeah, for sure. One

quick update on Tank. You did have surgery yesterday that actually will help probably speed up the healing process because they put a screw or pen or whatever they do in there. So I would think, you know, sometime after the buy he'll be able to come back if everything goes well. So that's good to your point. Heck, they've got a couple of defensive ends on the practice squad. Brelan Speaks is a VET. He's one of those guys. Maybe they elevate him on Saturday. Sprinkle might be the

other guy. A tied end once again, because they've only got two tight ends on the active roster. But yeah, I'm interested to see what they do I'm I'm with you, guys. I mean, I think right tackle, with this particular matchup, it's a tough It's a really tough matchup, no question about that. I'm curious to see how they what they do to manufacture pressure. I mean, obviously, if it's if it's no Gregory too, then it's gonna be bash him

and Dorance Armstrong. And then what's Micah Parsons role look like. I know reporters were trying to get Mike McCarthy to tip his hand yesterday and he didn't do that, obviously, but they drafted Mica in part because of his ability to be a pressure player. I went back and watched the game. He had about a dozen rushes either blitzing or lining up at the left or right edge. So I don't think, I know fans are excited about what

he can do in that regard. I don't think he's gonna line up for forty snaps on the right or left edge, but I think he can help them in that category. And there, you know, Dan Quinn is probably gonna have to get a little creative to try to help without both of his top guys there, I think that's weirdly where it boils down to is sure the personnel's not going to be there, but you got to

find a way to have success. And dan Quinn, I think a lot of the pressure falls on his shoulders again this week because if he doesn't perform, then you're gonna be at a tough time and Justin Herbert's going to pick you apart, even as a second year guy. But kind of going along those same lines, Dak Prescott yesterday spoke to the media, and I really like one of the stories that was put up on Dallas Cowboys

dot Com. This was this helman that wrote this on Dak Yeah, yes, okay, because it wasn't he didn't have a title card or anything, but it says basically, the story is about how you can't afford to dwell on the past. And Dak Prescott spoke at Linked about this yesterday. The last thing you can dwell on is what happened. I've learned personally, and I think it's what the team

learned last year. He went on to talk about how you were still alive despite all the injuries down to week seventeen of the final week of the regular season last year, and you still had a chance to go to the playoffs because of the division and because of the scenario right now, you kind of gotta look at it again and say, wow, all of this is happening. We're going through twenty twenty again. But heck, why is

there a bit more positivity? Is it because we're just in week two or is that still a point of concern as well? Now? I just think it's the maturity of your team. They recognize that injuries are part of this league. You're gonna have guys. I mean, even if you look at Kansas City last year, they lost offensive linemen, cornerbacks and they still whether the storm I mean, in any franchise or that's gone and had any success they've gotten there without their core guys. We're just gonna have

to learn how to live with that. And nobody's gonna cry for us. You know, anybody's gonna cry for us. There's not a pity committee waiting to say, oh, poor cowboys. You know, we have got to look next man up. You won't allow me to even put a feather in that hat. At the same time, these guys are capable, and you got to see what your guys are capable of doing. The twenty twenty all by itself. I wish I could forget the whole year. Yes, blank my memory

on that thing, because it was. It was horrible for this team. But I think it's a part. It's a part of our maturity. And when you hear your leader and Dak Prescott say, look, we're not gonna dwell on any of that, We're just gonna go forward with what we have. I like hearing that. Yeah, I mean, dwelling on it does nothing for you. I mean, acknowledging is everything, but dwelling does nothing. So I mean, you know him speaking to um, you know what was and what isn't

you know what? I guess. I guess your question is how do we feel? Why do we feel better this year? We have Dak? Yes, that's great, That's pretty simple in that regard. We have Dak, and then we have Dan Quinn and some new guys that can make them make some plays on that side of the ball. So I think we feel overall, we feel better about our defense. Last year we were hopeful. Um, this year we've seen it, right, we had a whole preseason to see it, and now all of a sudden we've had one one whole game

aim to see us. So I think we feel better overall with our defense and our defensive approach. And then there's a dude by the name of Dak Prescott that just happens to be back there, Dak Tyrn Smith, Lyle Collins eventually in five games, Blake Jarwin. I mean, they are much healthier on offense. And I was talking to Hellman about this yesterday, like he we all think Tanks a really good player, best player on the defense. He was saying, you know, it just kind of comes down

to Dak regardless. I mean, he's they're gonna go as far as as he takes them. I kind of disagree. I mean, I think there's still, like Isaiah is saying, they're still optimism. This defense can be better, and it needs to be better. You can't be in shootouts every

single week. But it does come down to having your best, you know, at the key position, one of your best players, if not your best player, and Dak Prescott giving you an opportunity to score thirty plus points every game, and they have that opportunity this particular week against this particular matchup. I think, But like you said about injuries, Terrell Asham Steady yesterday. It's one hundred percent injury rate in this league, and that reminded me. I don't know if you guys

watched Delia's catch, but that's what they say about that catch. Dude, reminded me of that. Like crab fishing is different than football, but it's kind of the same thing. It's it's that's the nature of this business. How many of you guys on the bingo cards at home had crab fishing talking talked about on Talking talboys to show it is a

great show, actually, um, kind of. I love the point y'all brought up about the defense because entering Sunday, you're most likely going to me missing three of your four starting defensive linemen, DeMarcus Lawrence, Randy Gregory. You already lost Neville Gallimore. He's out for an extended period of time. Carlos Watkins is looking around him and saying, what is going on? Why? Like why am I the lone ranger here? He's like Connor Williams was last year on the offensive line,

except on the defensive line. Exactly right. But you still, I don't know to this point, you feel better now than you did a year ago. If you were to have that same sort of faith, why is it just Dan Quinn, Because it's gotta be more than this, right, it is definitely more than that. I think our personnel is better, and I think that we match up against any team. Don't let me. We have personnel to be competitive against any team. We have personnel to be competitive

against any team. We're gonna say something else, so on paper, on paper, right, we match up well. And I think they did that through the draft, right, some of the acquisitions that we have, you know, with our linebacker position, guess what, we have a rotation. I think that we can expect to see Jaylen Smith and Vander Esh substantially more of this game. And guess what, Who're gonna get pressure with Parsons, right, Jim bill Cox. We have those guys that can add pressure from the outside. We could

really go to a three four. We're not gonna get into us changing schemes and all that, but we can do what we want to if we need to, right, we could be a four or three, could be a three to four. We have the personnel for it. If we need to match up against big receivers, guess what we have big dbs now right, so we have we can we can approach the game differently every single week to match up and give us the best opportunity to

win games. And I think because of that, that's why I think we feel good on that side of the wall. You mentioned you said you didn't want to get into it, but I want to get into it a little bit. We're not changing schemes, yeah, but dan Quinn had talked about in all preseason long that we are a hybrid defense. The Cowboys are a hybrid defense. It's not gonna be a four down linemen look. Every single time. There's gonna be three down linemen. You're gonna see a couple drop

back into coverage. You can see that mixed up. Do you expect, let's say three fourths of the plays this week to be a three four look rather than the four three, just based off of the personnel that's available. I would want to If I was playing Madden, I would go three four. And the reason of being is I'm not that concerned with their running game. I don't think that their office in linemen are that dominant where they can just just run our guys off the ball.

I would much rather have three down linemen and have vander Esh and Jalon Smith shooting the gaps and have Neil and Parsons on the outside. That's not a bad freaking combination, right, and then we still have guys to match up. The other reason why I lack a three four It really allows for us to get into cover three relative easy, right with our five guys underneath, so we can drop out. We can play his own because

these guys are gonna be tight splits. They're gonna be running a lot of quick out routes, are gonna be running a lot of corner routes, smash concepts out corner routes, so that a lot of their stuff comes from in tight. So guess what if you have guys that can be off the ball and can jam those guys up and really muddy up their ability to get off the ball cleanly, and then I think we have a great opportunity as a part of the front seven. How tough of a

transition is that for an individual player? Heckma, I mean I think they practice every day on it. They don't play a variation of it. It's not that we play maybe our bases four three, but in certain blitch packages are going nickel, they take a guy out and that's a completely three four hybrid look that they give you.

And I agree with you on that because you look at the guys that you have that you're going to war with this weekend, you would think that they would play a little bit more three four just to allow that Mitch mismatch with Michael Parsons on the outside. But look, it's gonna come down to how pass coverage, you know, how can we get can we get pressure on the quarter back, and how long can our guys hold I

think we feel good about trey Lon Diggs. I think we we we don't feel as good in some other positions, but I think the defensive line and manufacturing and practice pressure through Quinn's defense can mitigate a lot of that. One other thing to add about the secondary, and you're not gonna like this. Come on, Donovan Wilson didn't practice again yesterday. Not sure he's I would say he's iffy for this game at this point with a groin injury.

Demante Casey was limited yesterday with thigh injury, and I think that's something to watch as well. Okay, this game too, But you know what, even even with sorry heck, Malie Cooker, time is Malie Cooker. But you know, but even with that, I mean to you to your point called we still feel good. I mean, I do the depth depth essentially, it's not like you have a number one and just like number two. It's like, Okay, guess what, Donovan Wilson, you're out. Okay, well, guess what we got? We got curse.

Curse played forty plus snaps last week. I don't know if that's right, good thing, but I'm but I'm saying, but you're right, but did he played forty Wilson to whoever plays forty plus naps is the best team in NFL based off of last year? And do you also think Neil could play this? Mean he could if he needed to, if he needed to go back there. But guess what, Malie Hooker, guess what we've been waiting for

see him. They've been trying to. We haven't pulled, we haven't not allowed him to go out there simply because he can't. We've been just being smart about our approach. But sometimes you gotta get thrown into the fires. I guess what, Hey, Bla, you're a baller in this league, right, go play? Could say the exact same thing for the other guy who was inactive in the secondary last week, and that's Israel Mquamo could say the exact same thing. Both guys who were inactive last week might find their

way on the field this week. And heck, I will say. You might have turned off Rob's Twitter notifications, but you can't hide from Rob Phillips updates. I can't. You cannot hide updates. Sorry of bad news the last ten days or so. But it's not just you, and I think, no, it's not. It's not just your messenger. But the thing is, Rob. One of these days, I'm going to get a notification this says Dallas Cowboys super Bowl champion, and it's it's

gonna reverse everything. Now you'll be back in good graces. Yes, I love it. I love the positive thinking on a Friday. When we come back, don't you say, Oh gosh, I'm not I don't even know what I hear is We'll be right back on the other side of the break you're on talking Cowboys. Thank you for stopping big news.

You may like average shows, we're

all going to come in and get shaped up. I got I'm not doing that. I couldn't believe that. You take tell the people for the people that don't know what happened yesterday. So basically yesterday, Isaiah goes upstairs and just starts a complete frenzy with talking about the podcast and some races. In some kind of way, my name is brought up in this whole thing. As far as he was concerned about it's his name being slung around. And by the way, we have we have consent from

Heck and his wife. She says. She she has ice and the heataths on desks. She considered, Yeah, they're going ahead of all. My power of attorney has not been signed over to any that talk about right, So I just want to say at least she's supportive ice and and a heating pad. My girlfriend said that once we lose, and she said sorry, she said, once we lose, we're gonna rename this show walking cowboys. Wow, because that's what you're girl, say my girl, I haven't even met her yet. Yeah, yeah,

it was pretty bad. Wow, she needs to have a conversation with me. Yeah, that's that's unacceptable. Support. Yeah, it's not not ideal. So, but the bet is, at least at the moment, is the fastest podcast. It's five podcast all the way through. We're gonna include every pod you're in it. Just don't get hurt, she said, we hurt. Yeah, I mean we got enough budget with a with a kiddo. My wife. My wife licked them, she said, do they really think they can beat you? M That's what I said.

They're crazy now we see're crazy man, crazy man. I like you, it's crazy. It's crazy man. Hey, Kyle, I got faith man. I'm with Kyle. I just kind of let's just kind of slat on the radar here a little bit. Yeah, you know we're talking. He the same way. Isaiah is going to get us all in trouble. You know. No, you're the only guy that can know that is false. That is false. When they said that you can't beat

Derek and anything, that's what they told you. He may be the man in Marbles, Jack's, Dominoes, Hop, Scott Jane right, Hop, Scots Dice. You know he disc that's very disrespect Do you feel about that? I felt I felt disrespected, And Nate Newton said it. I mean, if it comes from May, come on, and I expect Jesse. Jesse is the shade. He the shade captain. You know, so as much as you try and like him, he's gonna do something to shade you. And I appreciate that. It's all good. Nate

did hurt Barry's feelings yesterday? Oh good, he hurt his feelings yesterday because Barry was going off. We're getting ready to a feeling for something else. And Barry was going off about how he can beat me and how it's disrespectful that everybody's saying that he can't beat me, and Nate Doggs went to go dap him up. He said, I'm sorry, man, but you can't beat us. He pulled, He pulled the dap back. He didn't ye, he was hurt. He's but why don't we just pick the best? They

even asked Orlando on their show yesterday. They called in Orlando and or They asked Orlando how he felt about it? What do you say? They just asked about a run and in Orlando say, yeah, I can run straight. Where is that kind of change direction? We need that? What are you gonna say? I just think, why don't the shows just pick one? Rep? Just no, I cannot get out of it. You're not getting out of it. Well, do you want to do this? Well, right now, you were going you're gonna write a heck of a story

about this, right, Yeah, I'll cover the event. How about that? It'll be fun to talk about when we get to that point. But let's talk about the Yeah, it might be the bye week is kind of what it's going. Yeah, Isaiah's starting some stuff all right. I want to give you, I want you got all to give me. Give me a player to watch this week for the Cowboys and the Chargers. It could be offensive side of ball, defensive side of the ball. Want one guy who's going to be the X factor in a Cowboys win or lost

this week. I'm gonna start with heckma Well. I think Quinn Bohanna will be a guy that you have to circle because I believe, yeah, big Bowl. I think the guys in the middle have their work cut out for him.

And if they can get pressure. And look, this isn't flashy or splashy, but at the same time, if these guys can can manufacture pressure, I think that the game will change for the Chargers, saying, you know, justin Herbert, he gets happy feet, he starts to pat the ball a little bit once you get pressure on him, and that's what you gotta do. I'll go with Dalton Schultz and they you know, both tight ends are gonna play.

But we've talked about if it's Terrence Steele, whoever's at right tackle, probably gonna need some help, some chip stuff, you know, here and there. I think you could see him maybe do that, or Blake Jarwin and be involved in that kind of intermediate passing game as well. I think that'll be important, especially if they need to get the ball out quick at times. So I'll go with Schultz Scholtzy. I want to go back before we go to Isaiah, back to quintin Bohanna. He only saw twenty

snaps last week. Do you expect that to go up even though the interior personnel hasn't necessarily changed a whole lot. I think you got to ramp that up. Okay, I think you got to ramp it up. I mean, twenty snaps is not enough this week versus this offense, and I don't think it was enough last week with all the yards that you gave up the whole. Yeah, all right, as you think they're gonna have his deeper rotation this week though, well maybe they have to. Maybe they have

to because of the injuries. But I thought maybe the weather factored in the fact that so many guys had snaps. Yeah. I don't know if Bradley and I would have gotten ten snaps in that game if it wasn't for the humidity. Yeah, and that's probably gonna see ten again this week, right from ten to fifteen it's more than he got last year. All hands on deck. So yeah, I'm with you, eck Isam. I'm going with freaky Zeki. One hundred and twenty all purpose yards and at least one too. Wow, yep, I

said it. So the majority of those yards are they gonna come as a receiver? Are they gonna come as a running back? Can't say that. I can't say that because I mean, I want to say. I want to say he'll have seventy on the ground, probably another fifty through screens. The reason being is that you know, they gotta they got a dog in the middle. I'm not worried about the D line. I'm not worried about Bosa. And in that regard, the other dude at the second level,

Murray Jesus, Derwin James Jesus. So I think that they're going to try to do the same thing that Tampa did and say you can't run, throw the ball, beat our guys, And I think that they're gonna challenges in that regard, and I believe that they're they're Murray and Derwin James are complete animals and physical specimens, and I don't I don't know if we can handle both of

those guys when they're both on the second level. So their ability to come downhill and stop our run and mitigate our run, I think is something that we have to be aware of. Um So, I don't know if he goes ham on the ground, but I think that Kellen Moore, I don't think he's gonna allow two games in a row without Zeke getting the ball. How early do you see that starting? You think that's right off the jump. You think that's early in the first quarter.

That seeks gonna start getting those run plays. And I think it's I think we are going to force feed ze this game. You know, you know when you try to feed your kidd intoday, like I got stuff to do, so you're gonna easy. I think that's what we're gonna do with he. He's gonna eat today time. It's not even just the metaphors with you, it's the sound effects that are to a lot of police academy growing up. Okay, yeah, yeah,

listens on patrol. I'm gonna say Anthony Brown is the X factor because if he has another game like he did on Thursday, it's gonna be it's gonna be tough to get a win. I mean doesn't start. Yeah, yeah, he'll start. In my opinion, he'll start. N Sean Wright was back to a full participant yesterday. That's an I say, Rob didn't get us. That's a good up, Rob update on on that one. But yeah, Nashan Wright was back after being a d n P on what was it Wednesday?

Wednesday was a personal Yeah. My thing, Kyle is you could pick your obvious stars on this team. They all have to show up. I'm just saying the guys that are gonna make it an impact immediately are gonna be your interior guys. We didn't have any pass rush. We can'tnot be one of two teams that do not get a sack. I agree, we have to get pressure and also can't give give up one hundred and fifty two point one average passer rating whenever targeted and fifteen yards

per catch like Anthony Brown. So that has what to do with your rush. I mean, that's what it could be. Either way. You're just trying to argue to argue, and I'm not here for it. On a Friday, he always gives me fret boy vibes. On a Friday Friday, he does sothern Fridays. I'm talking. I don't even know what that is. I know you don't. I'm not gone in five last week? Oh was it? The result went on. It's a marathon and not a sprint, but you say you don't run and YouTube and YouTube and YouTube the

same and that it's all good. I love it. Frat boy Friday, Frat Boy Friday. Love somebody printed right now? Forget let me say it was a website right right now? Oh man, anything we anything that we haven't hit throughout the week that we want to talk about heading into Saturay or Sunday, anything at all, um. I just want to say this game kind of reminds me of the

Jesse Holly Game. The Holly Game Wow against the forty nine Ers was that ten years ago, And that was a forty nine Ers team that wasn't really good good yet, but they were coming up and West Coast game Cowboys were Owen one. Had to do whatever it took to not go Owen two, even with some injuries as well I believe they had. They were pretty banged up going into that game too. In the game, Romo learned what a neumo thorax was that day. A punctured lung neumo thorax.

All right, um, I'm talking about Taylor huh. So it's gonna be I think it's gonna be that kind of game where this is a team that's getting that's on the rise. You can feel it and you can feel it, and we'll see what the crowd's like. I mean, it may be more Cowboy fans there than Charger fans, and you know that will be because we own California. But at the same time, this is their first time back in their stadium, so it's gonna be rocket it's gonna

be rocking. The lights are going to be bright. Even those three o'clock un special teams. We haven't addressed that much. We talked about but our special teams sucked in week one in terms of our ability to stay sucked. But even down. But even even as you say that, our special teams has an opportunity versus then because they were not very good special teams. Yeah, so I think you know Ceedee Lamb return. You know he goes he moon

lights every now and then, so I expect a big one. Okay, So are there any guys on special teams that you guys think need to step up and make some place. It's one of those things that people don't pay attention to it because they always go to commercial right after right, it's okay, returned twenty Okay, go go, Well something to watch beyond Greg's airline. Obviously he needs to have a better game. He knows that at the kicking spot. But um, what do they do you know Dorence Armstrong, who's a

core guy who's gonna probably start in this game. Uh, Cedric Wilson who's practically a starter at the third receiver for for Michael Gallup, Like, how do they divvy up those special teams snaps? I think said only had like eight snaps on special teams. But that's something like for Fossil, he's got to figure out. You know my guys. Yeah, yeah, I'm sure Simmy's gonna see some special team snaps maybe as zur Kamara, but he's been playing special teams though. Yeah.

So Noah Brown's back, correct, Yes, Yeah, that's there's there's a couple of guys that's important that cannot be overlooked. Noah Brown's presidence on this team on special teams cannot be overlooked. Yeah, it's a big deal. He is a core guy. He's not on one out of four special teams guys. He's up. I am in there every time we're out there. I'm in there, and I think he has an impact in this game as well in terms of at the receiver position, kind of find a way

to get it done. Special teams wise, Let's take our break. When we come back, it's say it with your chest Friday, It's time to do some game pickums. We'll see if HECMA can have a better week here in week two when we come back on the other side of the break. Hi, I'm Clint Tullison with United aggin Turf.

Harrison went one and five. He was one and four in the non Cowboys game, and he picked the Cowboys. Sorry, heck muh. Rob Phillips went one and four in the up God, but you would make it seem as though he was no mind. Well you're still the worst because he went two and four overall

and you went one in five. Boy, every time you throw a shot over here, throw one back. Can you mark that plan? Please? Uh? Two and four overall for rob because he did pick the Buccaneers. Isaiah went three and three. He went two and three in the non Cowboys games, and then he picked the Cowboys to win. And I also went three and three, three and two in the non Cowboys, and I picked the Cowboys to win. But you know, you guys are gonna be last once we all we talent this up right, This is a

marathon finger out. You know what I you know what we have, what we little, what we have not talked about. What is that? You can't go five hundred in the NFL anymore? No cannot. Yeah, because the seventeen games winners or losers. You're a winning record or you're a losing record, or you have a tie in there, and then you could go eight and eight and one. Still somebody will do that at some point, somebody will have that happen. All right, we've got some games to pick here, let's start. Yeah,

that's the first one. Actually, I was going to talk about the forty nine Ers and the Eagles on Sunday noon kickoff on Fox will start with HECMA, where is it? All Right's in Philadelphia? M I'm still going Niners boo Eagles. Okay, yeah, I'll philad in nine Ers on the road Frisco. Yeah, give me the forty nine Ers as well. Philadelphia twenty one plus points in eleven straight games against San Francisco both or excuse me, both one and oh teams on CBS at noon, the Raiders and the Steelers, rob who

you got? It's it's a good fun game, steel curtain. Baby. They look good in week one. Yeah they did. Raiders Raiders, Raiders said you said, Raiders, Raiders, Raiders, Raiders, Raiders. Oh, Steelers, Sorry, I've got Ravens. Raiders came out of my mouth. But okay, so Steelers both. I'm on here. I'm gonna go Raiders. I liked what I saw week one with their offense overall dirt car Yeah, but he had a good game though. Yeah, yeah, all right, I cannot stand you. All right, Bills and

the Dolphins. This is in Miami. The Dolphins won it, oh after last week and the Bills oh and one Bills have won five straight games against Miami. This is the divisional five straight, five straight, Isaiah, Buffalo Buffalo, do they rebound? Heckma in Miami. I don't know body be at those games. I'm going back maybe this year. Okay, yeah, Buffalo. Yeah, I'm gonna take the Buffalo Bills there as well. Um, the we gotta changed up. We got all the same picks so far. I know. I gotta catch up back

in it. Okay, Titans and the seas in Seattle, you can forget him on this one. I'm gonna say the Titans rebound, Isaiah, I'll go to you next. We're gonna fly on the Seahawks, all right, Yeah, Seahawks. I knew you knew better. Yeah yeah, Twelfth Russell freaking Wilson, Tyler Lockett, Metcalf, Tannehill is due. That running game is due. I'm gonna take Seattle. Well, I'm was like elite Corso pick all right, Chiefs and Ravens, you're picking. I already said that I

was picking the Titans. Yes I did. Goodness, gracious, you're on another level today. Sunday night football Chiefs and Ravens in Baltimore. Yeah, that's a fun one. Baltimore needs the rebound after their loss on Monday Night Football. Oh that's a good one. Oh it's tough, Isn't not that tough? It really is, Clark Honey Badger. Yeah, it lost Marcus Peters did Baltimore? Who They've lost a lot of guys. I'm going with the catchup boys. Gotta get the Chiefs going.

I'm gonna pick the Chiefs as well. I'm going with the half billion dollars Man Sattie Say Patty Patrick Mahomes eleven and Ozho thirty five passing touchdowns no interceptions in his career in the month of December. Excuse me, September. He's some curveballs, Kyle, Come on, well man, there's no more real curveballs. How about this one though? Cowboys Chargers Sunday afternoon on CBS. Who's going first? Rob? You went last last week? In this one? Who you got? I'm

going with the Cowboys. I think it's gonna be a game. Maybe both teams get in the thirties, it's gonna be back and forth. But I just there are question marks on the Cowboys defense because of injuries, because of absences, potentially with Randy but I just think there are some matchups for Dallas to take advantage. Dak Prescott's healthy. He's gonna build off Week one. They win, score nice like thirty three thirty one. Close, good game. Yeah all right, Isaiah, Look,

come on, it's a tough one. I'm going with h dem Boys thirty four to twenty one, thirty four twenty one, So little extra there. Uh. Mike McCarthy has not been owing two as a head coach since two thousand and six. That was his first year with the Green Bay Packers, in his first year as a head coach in the NFL, he is not going oh into this year. I think the Cowboys win in and I'm right around those same scores. I'm gonna say thirty one twenty seven, Cowboys get the win.

It's really pulling at me though. The charges are like really tugging at my heart. Oh. They're a good team, they really are. And if the Cowboys are two, it's not a surprise, I don't think. And it's because you're banged up and this is a team on the rise. You just can't afford to go. Yeah, say it with your chest. Come on, I have to change switch it. I don't want to. I'll do it, do it. I don't want the fan of me wants the Cowboys tough game to pick my heart, says the Chargers. Okay, and

that will hurt m because I like the Cowboys a lot. Yeah, but the Charger okay. I just I'm hoping for a clean call game from our coaches. Mike McCarthy, you're coming up again, say first year coach Brandon Staley. Let's get it done from a coaching standpoint. But I think everybody in the media is disrespecting Dak in this matchup with

a second year quarterback. And I'm telling you, I'm expecting rain to code of Prescott to stand back there in the pocket, look down a sniper scope and get a Peaky Weeky at Amari Cooper running, Yes, Peaky Weeky, and just bomb right over the top. Click. This is what we're doing, Peaky Weeky. And I'm going with Dak and the board. Now you get in here, all right. Can't beat him, I can't beat him nothing. Yeah, I can't

do it at all. All right. For Chris Beam Aaron Gonzales in the back for Rob Phillips, I said, standing back hack my Harrison I'm Yomen's Hecko. What do we say on Friday's Cowboy Nation? I hope your team win. This has been a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
