Talkin' Cowboys: Getting Spicy

offense trying to find their stride. This isn't necessarily the eighty five Bears defense, but they've got some pieces, one last piece to work with which we'll get into here in a minute as well. But we'll start things off as we always do. Patrick No, C. Walker, Isaiah stan Beck, We've got Chris Beam in the back. I'm Kyle Yeoman's. Also, we have a special guest coming up in the second segment. Real real special guests. Uh should we say the name? Yeah?

Just a surprise out there if you know what you say now. Chuck is OK. He's a Bears fan. M So we're gonna get after it. Yeah, we're gonna get after Yeah, we're gonna get after him a little bit. But that'll be a lot of fun. Stay tuned for that starting in the second segment, which you'll be in about fifteen minutes or so. Gentlemen, how we doing doing good? What are you laughing at our? Or so I know

or so's are a little different here. I like to take the first segment a little longer because the listeners are just tuned in, they're locked in that first segments really hitting it. And then uh, and then we go to the second segment, make the second two a little shorter. That's kind of my doing. But uh, but yeah, we have a lot of good conversation rock with any any dressed very nicely the day. Might I add, yeah, we've got a special edition filming. You don't need you don't

need to justify your flash. You don't need to justify your flas actually, just going to the gym personally, that's what you're wearing a gym. That's what you work out, that's your work out of tide, that's it, you know, keep it. That's what happens when you're corporate in the gym gym world. Yeah, to go buttoned up and everything. Yeah, guys are crazy man. You were on You were on Cowboys cross Stock last night with George Tew, the legendary George Tige and of course the legendary Big Nate as

no one loved. It was fantastic, a ton of fun. Shouts out to Kevin Gray as well for hosting last night as he as he always does at his job. Yeah, and just a great conversation. We were talking about the Bears preview and the Bears gave some predictions, talked about, uh, you know what was going through George Teague's mind before he knocked Terrell Owens his block off for for trying to you know, disrespect the start at the at the

fifty yard line. And for those some of the younger listeners in view of the show, do yourself a favor and YouTube that YouTube that so you can get some of the some of the better parts of Cowboys history appreciated. Get it all up in your veins what George Tigue was able to do and represent in the star in that game against San Francisco, that legendary game against San Francisco that went on to be Emmett Smith's you know passing of Sweetness as far as the all time NFL rushers.

So a lot of great history went on in that game. George t talked about that, and again we talked about the Bears, state of the Cowboys outlook, so forth and so on. So fantastic show with Kevin Gray, the legends, George Tigue and Big Nate. And the cool thing about that is the timeliness of it too, because today October twenty seventh, correct, it's the twentieth anniversary of when Emmett Smith passed Walter Payton for the all time NFL's rushing record.

Of course, the Bradsham call move over Sweetness make place for Emmett became famous in this day because of what Emmett Smith did, and a lot of people have been talking about it, at least in the press conferences, and I'm sure there will be stories on every media outlet today. There'll probably be an Instagram post and Twitter post about it, just because it's the twentieth anniversary of when twenty two became number one. But with that being said, is that

something that will ever be surpassed? You think? Do you think that's something that could be caught one hundred and sixty four touchdowns, not to mention the amount of yards that he put up as well. I mean, it's pretty unbelievable, Mike McCarthy said, at least in the way the things are built now, and and of course with the the new importance put on player safety, he doesn't see it happening,

especially with the way the running backs are used now. Now. Yeah, I don't know what Matt happened in the next decade, but yeah, this this style of play that's currently going on in the NFL right now, to just throw it around type era that we're in, I don't see it happening for sure, but that may change, you know, maybe there's the next generation comes in and they want to go back to the wing t. I don't know, but we spoke about it a couple of weeks ago. Everything

is clical, so i'd say never say never. You know what it would take to achieve that, obviously would be monumental. You'd have to get a generational talent with a generational front and you know, offensive line in front of them and an elite quarterback behind them that keeps supposing defenses from being able to stack the box. And you got to have the perfect storm, and that's basically what it was for the Cowboys offense back in the day. It

was the perfect storm. It was a generational arm in Troy Acron, a generational legs, and durability in Emma Smith, which again durability being a keyword there, you're not wrong. And then you're talking about a generational offensive line. So can it happen again, Yes, never say never, but it would have to be in the point of the cycle, and that might not be for another ten, twenty thirty years. We see how it goes. It has to come back to run first, but we're kind of slowly getting there.

We talked about the defenses are starting to shut down that pass all over the field type offense, so they're becoming fewer and far in between. So never say never, but until it happens, the King lives in Dallas. We'll talk about fourteen NFL seasons. Eight of them were Pro Bowls, four first team All Pro, two second team All Pro, four time rushing leader. He did it four times. He did it with the span of five seasons. That's unbelievable. I mean the numbers. Growing up, Immett was was an idol.

Everybody that liked the Cowboys. Emmett was the dude, and just when you go back and look at how incredibly durable and how incredibly talented he was, it really is impressive. Eighteen thousand, three hundred and fifty five yards is his ending total and that stands above anybody all time in the NFL. So one of the at least touch that since it is the twentieth anniversary today. But Patrick, what's

some news and notes? What's going on with the Cowboys talking about durability and Ezekie, I'm sorry, um, Emmett Smith south of Emma Smith with it, you know, playing through the shoulder issues. We're going to use that to segway right into the injury report. WWRD what would Rob do? Um? And we had? What first? Let's leave with Zeke. That's why I got my running backs mixed up there. Ezekiel Elliott,

as expected, did not practice on Wednesday. And I say as expected because Mike McCarthy already gave the heads up on that and yesterday's press conference saying that he was going to be exclusively working with Britt Brown and the rehab group working on that knee, and the Cowboys and Mike McCarthy labeled it a nice sprain. Ezekiel Elliott himself after the game labeled a knee contusion. Uh, let's just call it a nice sprain with possibly a thigh bruise

or a knee bruise. The way that Detroit was tackling, I would believe that they were going low fly and they paid for because he came back in the game and he humiliated a human being. The next human being who went at his legs, he protected us. He's now a poster so Ezekiel Elliott not unexpected. We'll see if he practices at all this week. He did make it clear that will not make it clear, but he did

intimate that it would be a late week decision. It'll be a group decision between Zeke, the coaching staff, and the medical staff, but we won't probably won't know his game status until later this week. He did state that he did not have to practice to play, though, and I believe that similar to Michael Parsons when Michael was dealing with a growing injury and I said, hey, I'd like to see DMP D and p DMP because he's able to go out there and get the job done.

So keep an eye on Zeke. We had a couple of surprises though. Noah Brown did not participate on Wednesday with a foot injury that seemingly happened at some point in the game, I would say, because there's been no practice between Sunday and yesterday, so something to keep an eye on there. Another one who did not practice that was unexpected is safety Malik Hooker. That's also a key player because he's the green dot guy for Dan Quinn and helping to communicate the defensive play calls to the

unit on the field. So Noah Brown, Malik Hooker, keep an eye on those going forward, key players on both sides of the ball. Dalton Shows was limited, Terrence Steele a little bit of a question mark. He was limited, but looked like there's too much concern with either of those shows obviously still battling that pcos poring. Yeah, and

you look at Malie Cooker only had thirty snaps. He was kind of limited to the back half of the game and there was a lot of different packages where he was unavailable and they kind of switched out a thought. So there were a couple times where Donovan Wilson would fill in and he would go back as the free and then kurtse could come in and still play that box safety. So that's the benefit of having three guys there that whenever Hooker's out, they have some at least

mixing and matching that they could do. But I want to go back to the offensive side since today, of course, on every Thursday, we talk about the Cowboys offensive matchup with their opponent's defense, and the Bears are, of course that opponent coming up on Sunday. How much can Tony

Pollard handle by himself? How much is your convert Where is your confidence level with Tony Pollard and how he could handle a workload if Ezekiel Elliot's not available to go because there's conflicting reports at the moment, Zeke and the coaching staffs don't worry. A lot of people around the staff and at least around the media are saying he's not expected to play. But where would your confidence lie on Pollard? I have confidence that he can carry

himself through a game. I just don't want to put that pressure on him. I don't want to physically beat down Tony Pollard is kid, but can he handle it? Absolutely? I worry more about TP when it comes to the passing to the past blocking and his ability to be able to sit back there and take online backers and you know, occasionally defensive ends. But in terms of his ability to run the ball and tote the thing, especially against his Bears front, I don't see a problem with him.

I mean, the Bears at the bottom of the league in terms of their ability to stop the run. They've given up the most yards and tied for most yards in the league and if you get up the most touchdown. So I think if there's ever a game in which TP can handle, it will be against against these guys. Well, Tony said, if they call it, I can haul it. Oh okay. So he sounds like he's ready. He's ready

for almost a full workload. And obviously the Cowboys would spell him with Malite Davis, who they likely elevate from the practice squad. They have two more elevations I believe, at least one on Leak Davis, so it wouldn't be a one workload for Tony Pollard. But it does sound like he's completely ready and up to the task. I would say this, go ahead and unleash them if you need to. If Zeke doesn't play for whatever reason, or

not for whatever reason. But if he doesn't play because of the neat issue, uh, you have the bye week coming up, you know, so use Tony Pollard to really do some damage in that run game, because you got you got two weeks after that for him to rest and kind of recover, get in the ice bath a

few times. This is really similar to last year. Last year when Zeke sustained the PCL was a week before the bye week, right, or it was a little bit earlier, but they could have utilized the bye week as like an extra as an extra week to get As soon as he said that, I thought about the same thing because we had this conversation last year about Zeke and they didn't do it. They played him, they let him go, and they camped the rest of the year and he

didn't healthy. And those who do not learned from the past to repeated the type thing. So this would in fact be a good week to rest Zeke and let that knee kind of heal up and feel better because you got Aaron Rodgers and Green Bay at Lambo on the other side of this bye week. Tony Pollard, Mallie Davis. I believe that they can get the job done against the Chicago Bears run defense. Now, as a whole, the Chicago Bears defense is not as bad as right as the Lions or as you would like to believe. It's

the run defense that's really bad. Their past defense not so bad. So that's something to keep an eye on. But yeah, if if I'm kelling Moore and Mike McCarthy, if Zeke can't go, yeah, I'm just letting the route with Tony Pollard and then you spelling Malie Davis says. And it's a little easier to run against that defense now too. Why is that because Robert Quinn is no longer in Chicago? What happened to Quinn? Where did he? Well?

See what happened was Howie Roseman on Tuesday didn't take a liking to the Cowboys trading for Jonathan Hankin, so he said, okay, up yet, I'll go ahead and get Robert Quinn. And you know the Eagles acquired Robert Quinn on And where where is Howie Roseman? Where is he the general manager Philadelphia? Oh, that's right, the Eagles. Yeah, those goes. So they go and get an edge rusher. The Eagles do they trade a fourth round pick to go get Robert Quinn. Robert Quinn, who this year has

been underwhelming to a certain extent. There's a bit of a change of guard in terms of the defensive system in Chicago. Hasn't been utilized the same way as he was last year. How did he do last year? He had eighteen and a half sat in the ball in in the twenty twenty one campaign. Yeah, so this year he only has one, but he's played. Okay, systems matter. Systems matter, they absolutely do. And Dallas drew draw two.

They were like draw four and they stacked it. Yeah. Yeah, So Robert Quinn, he's got a It's kind of a volletole trade because it could either turn into Chicago twenty twenty two Robert Quinn, or he could turn into Chicago twenty twenty one Robert Quinn hope, which hopefully it's the first one that's hopefully it's the one that he showed this year. What's a similar situation for him in that because of the prowess of the youth, you know, Fletcher notwithstanding,

but he's still stout. Because of the depth and the ability and the talent they have across the defensive line for the Philadelphia Eagles. It's similar to Jonathan Hankins coming into Dallas and that they're not going to ask Robert

Quinn to be a three down guy. They're going to ask him to go in there primarily for a pass rush for third downs and penning his ears bag and that's, you know, theoretically should make him more effective because he'd be more rested and more refreshed, kind of like what we're expecting to see from Jonathan Hankins. That's a really good point because a lot of people are looking at Philly and it's like, Wow, all of their guys are on the interior with Brandy Graham, Fletcher Cox, Jordan Davis.

They've got those guys up front, but on the edge, they've got two healthy edge rushers right now, they're pretty thin on the edge, where you could also say something very similar to the Cowboys. Wow, they've got DeMarcus Lawrence and Doran's Armstrong and of course that Michael Parson's cat that comes off the second level two. I mean, they've got guys on the edge, but they're light on the inside, A little light for size wise, Yeah, for size wise,

there there light on the inside. Pass rush Osakis Neville Gallimar Tristan Hill doesn't matter. But in terms of stopping the run, it's Quentin Bohannah and hopefully Osa kind of shows up. So now you've got Jonathan Hankins into that fold too, So it is you're right, it's very similar. But I mean, a higher quality player for a higher price is what Philly paid for. Then Cowboys getting a

thirty year old defensive tackle for pretty much next to nothing. Yeah, and so the Cowboys won't see Robert Quinn helping out the Chicago Bears. But add another storyline to the Cowboys versus the Eagles on December twenty fourth, as if there was a shortage of storylines going into that game, add another one, Yeah, the one? Why not? Why not? All right, We've got a special guest on the line and we're gonna get to them on the other side of the break.

If you're on the video side of things, you already see his bright, smiling, shining face over there in the bottom left hand corner of the screen. We've got Anthony Spice Adams on the line. You know him, you love him, the former Chicago Bear, former NFL standout, but also now just internet mogul. I mean, he is all over the place, and we'll talk plenty

about that in a moment. But Spice, how's it going. Welcome to Talking Cowboys and I can't complain. Man slow motion better than no most. Now, Isaiah, you and Spice know each other from where we went to grad school together. So following following our time in the league, you know, we were in separate places. I was all over the

dog on league, seemingly at every team. He was out there with Chicago and the forty nine ers, and we went to grad school trying to figure out what the heck we're gonna do with the next phase of our life. And that's that's how we linked up. We went to George Washington University. You got our NBA together, and that was really the time where social media was really kind

of starting to take off. And we used to clown around on the bus all the time together and here this dude go start making videos left and right, and he just blows up. It's kind of is that a true story? What kind of what kind of student was

Isaiah in grad school? Oh? Uh, didn't get his work done, you know, try to copy off people, kind of kind of like the same thing he's doing now, you know, if you got some notes around Isaiah's Like yeah, so like I said about Emmitt Smith, I mean, uh, Ezekiel Elliott, like I said, you know, he may be healthy, he may not be you know, I don't know. It's not on my notes, but I'm looking off of Patrick's notes at this point. This is something that I need to

talk about. He writes your name there instead of his. Oh that's awesome. So Spice Adams. You can follow him on Twitter on Instagram, and on TikTok, and you won't be alone in any of those categories. He's got two hundred and forty thousand on Twitter, You've got five hundred k on TikTok, and TikTok is my favorite medium to follow on and then and then two million on Instagram. So how did you kind of start taking advantage and getting into what has now turned into a passion for

you on the social media side of things. It really all started as a dare you know, because I didn't want anything to do with social media. I was just so focused on playing football, so focused on the a gap. You know, I'm a nose guard, so I'm there like, yeah, go ahead, lands make the tack or whatever. Like I'm just focused on football and that is it. And then, you know, a lot of my teammates was like, dude, you are built for social media. But I couldn't see it.

I couldn't understand it. It was stupid to me. You put together one hundred and twenty characters and people judge you off of what you tweet. I was like, this

is the stupidest thing in the world. But I started to understand how it worked because some of my teammates would take me in the locker room or they'll take me in the weight room, and then they'll post it on their page and then they'll say, look at the reaction that this is, like that's going on with this, And I'm like, this is just me just doing what I regularly do in the locker room and stuff like that,

and so I didn't understand it. But then I started posting my own stuff and started getting a good reaction to it, and I just I just kept at it, and then before long I did the retirement video at White Castle, and then everything just kind of took off from there. Well, Spice, let me let me ask you a question, because you're taking off, and you've already taken off on social media, and now that everybody knows you,

let's let's talk about your bears for a second. Let's talk about how how good you're feeling or maybe not so much. You love what you saw what they did against Bill Belichick and those New England Patriots. Is that enough to get your confidence up to level ten or you know, you're still down at seven with some with some hope going on. How do you feel about them coming into Dallas? Oh? Yeah, man, we gonna, we're gonna run y'all through this for y'all, it's over for y'all.

Y'a don't even know if he's Zenio or is playing in the end. Y'all gonna put Polard in there. Poloway one hundred and sixty five pounds. We're gonna get him with one of them four arms shippers. He gonna go. We're gonna knock the two off his jersey. He's gonna be number zero out there. We're bringing the funk. We're bringing the fun. Watch who is bringing this funk? Because you just traded Robert Quinn. I don't know another name on that entire defense except for Roquan Smith, and even

he wants out of Chicago. So you a hater? Is that you ask? Just asking? You don't know who Eddie Jackson is? Who is you don't know who thirty three Johnson is? You know who? We what is Johnson's first nam? We were bringing that fun, were bringing the fun. A spot. Who is the best player on that Chicago Bears defense right now? Roquan? There you go? People know? I mean, hey, did you did you see that forty nine A game?

That man had three hundred tackles. He does lead the league getting tackles, and it would be the first time ever that a Bears linebacker Bears anybody would have led the league in tackles, even Herlocker didn't get a chance to do that. So pretty impressive what Smith is doing. So from a from an offensive standpoint, though, can you guys throw? Do you have you have an art on that offense? I'm just curious, do you have anybody? They look? We we we run the ball. We run the ball.

We we we have a running back by the name of Juice. Herbert is a backup to David Montgomery, who has more yards than Ezekiel Elliott, who's number nine in the league right now and rushing yards with less Carris doesn't he also have more yards running. We get off the bus running. But okay, Montgomery, he got hurt. He got hurt a little bit, so he had to sit out a come from games. Now. Herbert said, you know what, I got you, dog, I got you. But then when

you come back, I'm still gonna have you. Say so we can get off the bus running. I don't care who y'all got. I don't get y'all just got hankins. Right, that's what thirty. Yeah, he comes in already like the fourth oldest person on the team, like already than Jason Peters who's played forty five years. And then you gotta

go down there, though, who else? Uh? Who else y'all got, y'all, y'all, y'all, everybody tackle h Smith Tyrn Smith, who played twenty years, and then you gotta go down to the long snappers. At that point, may everybody worried about yall? Hey, so I know you said that ye y'all get off the bus running man, But y'all, you know who else gets off the bus running? Anybody else who plays against y'all because y'all at the bottom of the league in terms

of Russian defense. Y'all gave up a thousand and forty eight yards this year already on the ground. Listen, we assage about we give up about twenty more yards. It's rushing and y'all, dude, you're honestly not We had like one forty, y'all, like one twenty really no difference, but one big breakaway running that's per game, though, I mean, that's not just overall. Come on, now, so have you ever heard of this? This this young guys. He's in his second year in the league. He wears the number

eleven on the defensive side. Have you ever heard of Micah Parsons. I mean, I know you guys had to really get nice player up there for a little bit that we're fifty two. But he's even doing better things than what that number fifty two Khalil Mack was doing early in his career. Have you heard of Michael Parsons To this point, Bro, Michael Parsons is the terminator. He is He is not from this world. The first terminator with the dudes was falling off the sky. One of

them was Michael Parsons. He is unreal dog. He can. The only way you stop Michael Parsons is if he decides he wants to stop himself. That's it. That's that is the only He is a monster man. I love his game. I love watching him. And he went to the best school in the world. Pins. Come on, that's linebacker you stick city eleven still eleven in college. That man set out a whole year. He's basically a sophomore. Oh what is amazing. I'm gonna get Michael his flowers

right now. He is amazing. So speaking of Michael and speaking of you guys, run game, what's your thoughts on when Justin Fields gets out of that backfield and he's trying to escape Michael. You think he can do that or you think Michael's uh gonna finish. No, No, that's the right answer. What I think. What I think when when he backs up three step, five step, a hundred step, he better know where eleven is at all time. There's the science. He better keep his head on a swill.

If you see two number one. He needs to throw the ball, get rid of the ball, or just be like here, He's not gonna be expecting you to throw the ball right here. He's gonna be startled. That's what I would. That's how you stop Mica quarterback. Throw the ball as hard as you can face. He gonna be startled. That's how you do it. Play how potato basically, so, hey,

you gotta throw it like Uncle Rico. See you throw it right here at the sternalm So then like he could lose his breath because he's gonna be he's gonna be like, well, he's gonna be startled, but then he's gonna lose a little bit of breath. Because it's right here on the sternalm that's on the way you stopped. So so, fellow Penn State grad you played, you were drafted back in two thousand and three, second round pick.

I know, Penn States, it's that long ago, but you've got this this tight knit group of guys that are Nitney Lyons and guys that played for Penn State. Have you interacted previously with Michael Parsons at any point? Have you gotten to meet him previously? I did, Actually we did something for Old Spice and he actually got a chance to talk to my son, which was dope because my son just started up high school ball or whatever. And this was before the draft, and you know, got

a chance to talk to him. And even when I went back to Penn State, they were always talking about him, and I got a chance to talk to him on the phone while he was you know, trying to figure out ways how to manage his time and you know, make sure that he is doing what he's supposed to do in the classroom and things like that. And you know, now seeing him blow up in the NFL, it was just confirmation of what I already knew. Like I saw how he talked I saw how he talked about his son.

I saw how he matured, and it's just great to see him, you know, all over the league right now. And you know, like I said, he's a terminator, man, this dude is a cyber. If you pull back the skin on his forearms, man, I guarantee you it's some type of steel. It's a steal skeleton in there, man. And I know it's been a minute man since we

both have touched the field. Reminding people, man, do your time with the forty niners, your time with the Bears, who were some of the great players that you played with. So everybody kind of has an idea of what are you was in I played with some dogs, man. I played with some Hall of famers man, Julius Peppers, Bryant Young who just went to the Hall of Fame, Jeremy Newberry, Olan croups Lands, Briggs, Brian her Lacker, Larry Allen, who is the legalized killer. I had to go up again.

Let me tell you, I went up against Larry Allen and practice every day because there it was always somebody like, yeah, man, I gotta stretch my hand. People are just mysteriously he got hurt every time you had to line up against Larry Allen and we were in the three four at the time. So I'm head up on Larry and you can't choose a gap. If you choose a gap like that would be to my advantage because I'm like a short,

squatty guy, you know what I'm saying. At least I can get half a man, you know what I'm saying, because if you take on bro, I'm telling I had to see a chiropractor every day because every time I went up against Larry Allen, like, he was like it was like a back adjustment, it was like and then we had the Oklahoma drill, right, so boy, we were in the shoot right, so he can go this gap or he can go this gap right, and I'm in there like this, like once I make contact, I'm like,

Frank could choose whatever gap he wants to and I'm just like, I'm just staying right here. I reached one arm right here. That's Pancakes City. I reached out here as Pancakes City. So I'm just right here, just doing my job. While I'm like this, your feet on the ground bouncing like is that? Can't somebody blow the whistle? Somebody blow the whistle like this is four seconds is way too long a man. Well, Spice, we really appreciate you coming on. This has been a ton of fun

getting to talk with you. I've been a fan of yours on the Instagram and Twitter side for years and then even going back to your playing days. I also want to thank you specifically, you said you knew about Micah Parsons and that you knew he was gonna be a bawler. Thank you for not telling your Chicago Bears whenever they traded up to eleven to take the Justin Fields prior to the Cowboys taking Mica twelve. So thank you. I appreciate you for not passing that along. But more importantly,

thanks for hopping on here on Talking Cowboys, my friend. Yeah, ain't no problem, man. Anytime we're gonna beat up on y'all. What's your game prediction, We'll let you give your prediction here.

No, I always call you I say six times super bowl Er, I mean six time Pro Bowlers, three times super Bowl Champion. Yeah,

that'd be nice. I'll be Brady, got damn. You already are the goat good, no feeling good man. Just looking at you, guys, man, and I listened to your periodically man, and just see how y'all enhanced this thing. And make it better for the cowboys with y'all analogies and how you break it down. You're feeling good about the game this week, I'm feeling great. Yeah. What part are you feeling best about? Man? I'm gonna tell you. I told

Patrick last night. Last night, I saw a truck about nine o'clock yesterday, a big meat packing truck pull up in him, man, and the truck was shaking and going wild blood. They got a beast to the back of this truck. All of a sudden, Jonathan Hanker, this came up out of the dog, big boy. I'm ready to stop the run. I'm too cow master that can tackle. See it with your chest? Nine yards? Nine of yards are less Once he gets settled in, does he need the arts are less? Yes? Rushing does he need? Does

he need a ramp up period later? Do you feel good just throwing him in the man? I throw him in there, okay. I look him straight as out like I'm looking k y right now. Look at him. He scared plays ten plays? Give me ten play yep, because because that's all he needed. Uh, the mess up of offensive coordinator. If he Man, I don't ran ten and run plays? No game. Man, Well, I'm through this thing and now we eat all day long. We eat. From that point one twenty yards were throwing per game. Whatever.

They asked him yesterday if he if he thinks he could play on Sunday. He basically said yeah. He was like, well, first of all, this only Wednesday. He's like, but even still, I feel like I have plenty of time to get you know, my legs with just enough to get in there on Sunday and make an impact ten plays. There you go again. We've mentioned it yesterday. This isn't like a Jason Peter's ramp up he's been playing. He played last week. Yep. So caught off the cold out of

the meat truck. Yeah, make it happen. That truck was rocking, man, I'm like this, who is back there? Hankers came about it up, man, and then think about the truck tried to take off and he two got you got the trunk and both sides of hold on. I thought it's about trying to run the rock. Yeah, yeah, we're ready hit on in the show. But Robert Quinn gone, how much better do you feel? Even though they were already at the bottom of the league, even with Robert Quinn.

Now that he's gone, how much better do you feel rushing the ball against his team? Well, what it does is he has the ability to duplicate what has gave our young left tackle problems and that speed just off the edge. And uh, it's a young guy behind him, Kyle you making look him up that they like and they want to put in there. And so they felt talking about the Bears on the bars on the Bears and defense man and they thought number ninety one, I can't think of his name, but they put him in there.

They think that he's enough when you get rid of a player because they planning uh Sarah still. So they just wanted to stop him from blocking another young talent. Yeah, so Dominique Robinson yeah, Miami OHIOA. Yeah, he was. I was massive on him on the draft show. I didn't even realize he was on this this roster. Yeah. So the play they trying to talk about speed, he's speed off. So you're saying they were removing a vetteran so that

the young guy can play. Because what I read is they still gonna pay of this guy, sary, and so, uh, that was a no brainer for the Eagles. They gotta pay seven seven hundred thousand dollars and they get a speed rushing that they can add to their repertoire. He's not he's gonna start. He's gonna be added to the repertoire. So hey, we made a move, Like my man Patrick said, we made a move. They made a move. Who's gonna make the next move? I mean, this thing is getting

good and it's too bad. We're going into a breakoutter we beat down these bags, beat down these bags. What's your what's your prediction? Where do you think? What do you think the predictions for this week? For us them rushing or for us them scoring, we'll say we'll say just general core prediction. Yeah, man, it's always gonna be by one man. Thank you. Yeah, there he goes. They always always a pleasure. My frien is a Chicago bear, a black bear, or brown beer. It's a brown ben codiac.

But it don't matter. Oh goodness, all right, like tobacco, chew it up, spit it out right, Yeah exactly, I like it. Um. Wow, we've had a lot of fun. This has been fun and it's not a normal show, which is great. I like a little change up every now and again, had Spice Adams on, had Nate Newton on I feel like we haven't even gotten the top. Great. I love that. Now, just to wrap things up, biggest

concern for the Cowboys offense this week? What would it be if there is a concern against the Bears defense, Because really I'm looking at it and my concerns are very little. I think this is the week the offense gets back on track. I think they run the football effectively with or without Ezekiel Elliott, and I think Dak Prescott find some open wide receivers too. I think this is a big week for the guys on the outside. I've been saying that for the last I think maybe

two of the last four weeks. I've said that that I think this is the week that that this gets back on track. But I really do think this is an opportunity for it. So what's your biggest concern at the moment. Biggest concern and I'd say concern, I'd drop the word biggest from it, but I'll say concern. That's just going to be how quickly Dak Prescott in the passing game can get going. Because we talked about it earlier, or we spoke you know referenced it earlier. Run defense

for the Bears virtually non existent. Past defense most certainly is there. You're going to have to account for Roquan Smith. You gotta account for Eddie Jackson, who has I think two or three interceptions already this season. That secondary can take the ball away and Roquan Smith is not I know this will go dogs. He's not only you know, downhill stop the run kind of guy. He can cover

as well. So if in fact it's the situation when where Ezekiel Elliott can't go because of the knee and they're going to rest him for the next couple of weeks going into the or going into the Green Bay game, Tony Pollter, I believe he can get the job done carrying the ball, but what's his past protection going to look like in those packages where the Bears start to

really throw that extra guy at Dak Prescott. So not a big concern, but most certainly a concern, and you're better account for rule Kuan Smith early and often agreed. I want to ensure that our team gets off to that Dallas gets off to a really good start, that they run the ball effectively, and that they don't get behind for whatever reason, our defense allows them to get ahead. Because the reason simply being, we saw Dak last week.

He you know, didn't statistically didn't look bad, but we feel as if he could have made some throws better. He said he could have made some better throws. He had made some errand throws. Overly confident, I don't want him to be in a position right now where he has to throw the ball thirty plus times in the game. Reason not only because he's still getting back acclimated with this offense and getting his feet settled in, but also because this defense. Statistically, these guys take the ball away.

To your point, they're tired. Fifth in the league in terms of okay. Along with that, these guys have the third best pass defense in the league. So let's not act as if these guys can't play some dog on defense, and let's not act like their rushing attack isn't solid. They're they're a legitimate threat if if, if the structure of the game is in there is in their favor.

So let's not put ourselves in a position where we're behind, we're having to pass against one of the better pass defense in the league, and Dak still now worked all the way out yet and they can run the ball. Let's let's make sure that things are done right. I don't think it's to the extreme extent as as this comparison is going to look, but this defense reminds me a lot of the twenty twenty Cowboys defense, where it's

a switching staff, it's a switching scheme. They've got a couple pieces that have been good previously and are still playing well, but they're just not playing lights out. And then that's kind of where they are, a couple of young pieces scattered throughout there as well, and then they find their their rhythm as the season goes along, and

they do so by taking the football away. That was the identity of the Cowboys defense twenty twenty was Okay, we're finding way to force some turnovers late in the year.

They're doing it a little bit early on. I'm not saying that they're a piece away like the Cowboys defense wasn't twenty twenty for being a part of something like the Cowboys happened now, but I will say it just that that young feeling, that that hungry feeling from their defense has that kind of thought process, especially in the secondary with the briskers of the world that are playing lights out. That's where I look, and I'm okay, they've

got some guys there. Be careful if you're gonna throw it down the field, but that is gonna do it here for us on Talking Cowboys, gentlemen, that was a lot of fun. I like this show. That was fun. Man. I love doing it anyways. But man, anytime we can get a Spice Adams and a Nate Newton on here spices it up a little bit more showing the building. I like that. We'll be back tomorrow with say It
