Today, we officially submit the Talking Cowboys vote for the nickname of the twenty twenty two twenty twenty three Dallas Cowboys Defense. Alongside Isaiah stand Back, Patrick Nose Walker, We've got Chris being in the back of Kyle Yeoman's. Gentlemen, there are times when we are in this studio it's it's a great studio. The facilities here are unmatched, and we are so blessed to be

able to do what we do every single day. But there are times in here where it's like you're talking into a mic. Is there really anybody listening. On the other side, there is there somebody out there. There's a question of the day. Yeah, there's there's there's times that that that happens. You know that's not the case. People are always listened in. Guys.

Yeah, a little Meet Green swag today and for and for my boys tomorrow. You know, three pm,

I need us to do what they do tonight because if they do what they do tonight, they'll go to the playoffs. They'll go to the playoffs. And I'm gonna be down there at the Rose ball as. He's gonna take us with him. Let's go, And I need you and I want you. Asaia said, he's gonna let us have a seat on the private Joe j

Let's bed Bo's bicycle. There's gotta be like some big booster at Washington that's gonna come and fly you out him. See me signing autographs on the way. Yeah whatever. You just were on a high video like ten days ago. Nobody else. Yeah, Okay, we love we love the way you lie, we love the way you live. All right, Patrick, Before we get into nickname talk, we'll let everybody get in. Everybody get in, everybody take a seed, everybody gets comfortable,

get your black rifle coffee. Come on, we're gonna talk some cowboys. We're gonna talk some news and some notes from yesterday cowboys back on the practice field. Uh, And then we'll get into nicknames. So let's get it started. W W R D, I say it with RD. What would Rob do? Shouts out to our guy, Rob Phillips. So let's go straight to the injury report. No changes

from Wednesday. Derry Von Diggs and Michael Gallup still dealing with illness, still about still being allowed to rest up physically, but they are engaged in virtual meetings with the team per head coach Mike McCarthy. Terrence Steele joins them as it did not participate. A d NP from Thursday, also with well, it's listed as injuries last personal, but it looks as if it's also potentially related to an illness. So we'll see if if he shows up on the injury report for Friday or if he's going to be

clear to go. So that's something to look at. I spoke personally with Anthony barr Or on yesterday and I asked him if he was all set for Sunday, and

he said, quote unquote, oh yeah. He did go on to explain to me that the reasoning that he believes that he reaggravated the injury on the Saturday prior to playing against the Minnesota Vikings was because he was probably in his words, pushing himself too hard to get back for that game specifically, and he said he just, you know, he understands now he has to be a little bit

smarter with how he manages this soft tissue injury. It's a long season, a lot of football left to be played, and obviously there was an emotional component to him trying to get back for that game. And he said he probably just went one step further than he should have as far as what his aggressiveness on that Saturday that preceded. But he said he's good to go. Barn any setbacks,

no pun intended. Between today and tomorrow, Anthony Barr should be back on the field, which makes it interesting as far as how dan Quinn will operate the Moan Clark Anthony Barr lve on that rotation. From the Indianapolis Coats standpoint, they also have their starting right tackle who showed upon the injury report for guess what illness he did not participate. Brayton Smith I'm speaking of, did not participate on Thursday's practice for the Indianapolis coach something to watch there and

Kenny Moore still not a participant. And we said on yesterday we don't expect that he's going to take the field, leaving quite a sizable hole in that secondary for the coach. So those are going to be your news and notes for now, and seguin to Dak Prescott saying, for those that are wondering, because it always happens every single time the Cowboys are going up against the team that's struggling, is this a trap game for the Cowboys? Michael Parson

said not, It's not a trap game. There's no such thing because if you line them up in front of Micah Mica is going to eat. Doesn't matter. The uniform, doesn't matter. The record. Dak Prescott, I asked him specifically about the Coats defense because we previewed that yesterday. I asked him about this coach defense. I said, hey, Dak, the Coats as as a team, their record is reflected in the struggles of their offense, but their defense is better than their record. What are you saying on film?

He was like, we don't. We don't have the luxury basically to overlook anyone. Every every win matters, every week matters. NFC's wide open, still chasing the Philadelphia Eagles. So for those that are wondering if the Cowboys are going to downplay the Indianapolis coach. They know they can. They struggled against the Lions in the first half. They shot themselves in the foot against the injury ravaged New York Giants. I think message is being said obviously. They collapsed in

the last quarter against the Green Bay Packers. Cowboys get it. They can't walk into this game thinking, oh, well, it's just the coach. It's not just the Coats. It's also a coach team that shut out Dak Prescott in their last meeting. So if you're talking about a quarterback who doesn't forget things, ask New York about that. This is an added motivation for Dak Prescott to kind of get

back to the Coats. Yeah, there's only one. There are three teams that have ever held Dak Prescott without a passing touchdown just in the course of their career, like his career against that team. It's the New York Jets, It's the Los Angeles Chargers in the Indianapolis Colts are the third team. Colts are the only team that has never allowed a touchdown to either Dak Prescott or Ezekiel Elliott Ezekiel Elliot's never scored against the Coats too, So now I will say they only play it once every

four years, so there's a point for that. However, the fact that there's only one team, there's a ton of teams that they still play every four years that Dak and Zeke have scored against multiple times. But that's not the case this time because the Colts, of course, in their most recent matchup, took down the Cowboys twenty three to nothing out at Lucas Oil Stadium and that was a rough game. Hopefully that's not a repeat this week.

I'm I'm gonna hit on Anthony bar really quickly here because I know some of the narrative, at least coming into the week was that he was doubtful, It wasn't looking good. He probably wasn't going to play this week. If he does play, which sounds like is a possibility, if not a foregone conclusion, how much would you want to want to see him utilized? Isaiah at that second level, dealing with a hamstring, probably a little limited still, but

trying to push to get back on the field. You mean, if they actually play him, Yeah, if they actually play him, he better be a hundred percent yeah, So, I mean there's no holes bars at that point. I mean, you see what I do there, um like just I mean, if he's on there, if he's able to play, he's one hundred percent, and then utilize him the way that you need that you see best fit for this particular game.

That's the that's the benefit of having the versatility at all positions, because every game you're not gonna get the same amount of raps because every game is that's not the best matchup. So he based upon what DQ seeing on film, he may or may not be more valuable than demon Cark this week. You just don't know, right, It's just all about matchups and what's going to be

most effective for that unit. For me, I feel like I would love to believe that Anthony Barr is one, but less than two weeks ago, give or take, he reaggravates the hamstring injury. I think he if he plays, and we do need to frame it that way. He says he's good to go, but we saw ahead of the Minnesota game what can happen at the last minute, So let's just first make sure that he can get

on the field. And if he's on the field, I think it's a situation where you have to wrap him back up because if you throw him out there expecting him to do what he was doing before the injury, you know most of the snaps, eight of the snaps, then you're probably setting him up to reaggravate it again and again. This is the most important stretch of the

season December, hopefully January, and then January itself. So for me, I would use this as an opportunity to try to figure out my rotation for later by way of maybe I still start Deman Clark or I start Anthony Barr, but the snap count is leaned heavily towards Deman Clark. Yeah, so I do like, maybe start Anthony Barr because that's the four time pro bowler. He still has a ton of trade left on his tires, so put him back on the field because he's earned the right to be

a starter. But then once the game is all said and done, maybe it's a sixty forty to Deman. So I would be completely fine with that. I don't know that I'm completely comfortable just yet. Two weeks or so, we removed from a reaggravation saying hey, not only do we want you to start, Anthony, we want you to play the bulk of the snaps. I think we need to ease him back in to make sure that there is not a second reaggravation. Yeah, and it helps out.

I mean, anytime you can give a guy like Deman Clark a little bit of a breather, it's going to help or Layton vander Ash a little bit of a breather. Fresh legs always are gonna be welcome, especially late in the game. So the more guys you have always the better. But you also don't want to put him in harm's way without really needing to. You don't need to put him in harm's way, even though this is a Colts team that can certainly run the football, and they can

run the football effectively. So keep that in mind as we head into Sunday night. Is that it? That's it, That's it. You know what time it is? You know what time it is? Isaiah standback? What do we do? What do we do on Fridays? We say what our freaking chess? Kyle? What do we do on Friday's? Patrick? Say it with your chest. We're gonna say it with our chest along with Cowboys Nation talking Cowboys Nation, because

we've got a nickname to pick. We talked about this earlier in the season, really early on, when this defense started to show some flashes of elite, started to look like Micah Parsons, dan Quinn, DeMarcus Lawrence and the boys were rolling. We said, this defense deserves a nickname, but we'll hold up. We'll wait because dan Quinn said ten weeks into the season. Yeah, ten weeks is what he says. We're like, okay, at least ten weeks in. Then we even tacked on a couple more. We're in week thirteen

right now. This defense is nasty. We've seen that all year long, and this is a nasty, nasty unit. Yes, they still have to show a level of playoff success for the nickname to really stick and transcend. That's the point, though, is we're gonna give something to stick. We're gonna give something that we have collectively as a group, as not only to the three in this room, but Cowboys Nation as a whole, has helped come up with. So that's

what we're doing here. We're not saying this is the best defense that the Cowboys have ever had, or that they deserve this nickname. They just deserve a title, and guess what, if they win, it's gonna stick and we're gonna give it to them. So we've got a ton of nicknames I mentioned it earlier, two hundred and fifty to go through. I've got about thirty that I really like that we're gonna hit. But I want Isaiah to start reading through some of them, just start going or

just whatever got in general. Okay, just let's let's get some of them. We don't have to say names, just say the ones that are like my favorite. Yeah, okay, all right, I have two that stick out. I know you have thirty. I have two that stuff. I've got a top three out of my thirty three. I'll give you my top two. Okay, okay, I give my top two because that's what I have here. Okay, all right.

The top one for me is rough Riders. Kay. I like the Rough Riders as that has a lot of significance to me because of Dmax and how they you know that whole three that is that with a why? Yeah, I spot it with why? Okay, they spied it with an eye changed to a why. That's probably there's probably like some trademark thing with the other team that plays in so Rough Riders and then Dallas Swat. I like the Swat. One thing about Swat team when the Swat team shows up is about to go down. So I

like those two. I like those two. Go ahead with George, Yo, you want me to go through, I'm gonna read. I want to just get a bunch of them out there. A lot of a lot of people started throwing these in there, and I liked a bunch of her. Here are some of my favorite. Well, first, first of all, before you start, yes, let's ladies and gentlemen, and we love you to death, but we're gonna have to go

ahead and strike through Legion of Doom. Okay, we had more than one participant who said Legion of Doom, and we have a lot of copies. Yeah, I'm going to go ahead and remind you that that's been done so not original. Yeah, so we're going to strike through that one.

Thanks for playing though, all right. Well, and the reason why a lot of people like the Legion of Doom because, of course it plays back to Dan Quinn's Legion of Boom, which by the way, took the name from the Philadelphia Flyers Legion of a Little Too close though, so it is, but it is close and they were trying to relay it to a dooms Day. It's smart, it makes sense. I absolutely I love the not the nickname. I really do. If it hadn't been done before, I don't even think

it would be a competition. It would that would be it, especially for me being a you know, a Marvel slash DC guy, legion of Doom. Sure doctor Doom. Yeah, yeah, I love it. For another one too, is uh. We We had a ton of people talk about the Pride, the Pride. There were there were several of those Pride and yeah, yep, kind of playing on you know, Mica being the lion Backs, which I really like. I liked the lions Den. That was one of my top three.

That my top three, and there were multiple people that brought in the lions Den. I liked it a lot. I really did that that got to my top three. The only thing I want to say a lions Pride is made up of, isn't it female lion. That's why female lions are more dangerous where they are the hunters hunter, the hunters. Um little I'm gonna blow through the one. I'm gonna go through. Kyle's top top thirty. Here, Why are you taking by top because we got a lot to get to, man, Yeah, we do that. S all right.

Here we go, go go go from the bottom the bottom up. Okay, so here we go. We got the Pride, the Stampede, Doom and Boom. I like that. Lieutenant dans Infantry, can we can we stop on that one infantry? That's awesome? It guess it's Dan Quinn and I love it. I think it's so grave Diggers, okay, Quintessentials, Defense, Hydra Defense, train Station, Armageddon, d cold Boys, Concrete, Jungle, the law

and Order. I like that. There I se either Sack, Street Boys, DQ, Lizards, Street Pride of Dallas, Predators, Doomsday two K, the Lions, didn't Legion of Dooms. All right, stop at the top three. Here we go. Yep. So that's a bunch of them. See. And I even put in there because it is a great name it is. Didn't mention the top three it's too close. Another thing

that and I put this out there too, Doomsday. I love a reference to Doomsday, but just calling it the Doomsday Defense or Doomsday two point three or four or whatever it ends up being, it's not there. That's not creative enough. We need to make this defense known for something else. Doomsday defense deserves its own defense too, for sure. I mean the Doomsday defense is nuts. I mean that's the best that the Dallas Cowboys have ever put out there on that side of the football, right, which is

why they were the Doomsday defense. So I like references to it, though. Sure, So that's where we're at here in my top three. Okay, here we go, so my number third, this is my third one. And this doesn't mean this isn't the nickname. We're gonna debate it at the minute, in a minute. I really like the silver lining, silver lining, the silver star on the side of the helmet. It's a silver lining because guess what they line the entire field, I mean fifty three and a half yard

sideline to sideline. It's full of silver. So I like that one a lot. Number two. It's a reference to to doomsday. But we changed it a little bit. Okay, the Judgment Day defense. Okay, get after it. It's like the Apocalypse shouts out to Wu Tang. Also oo yeah a little bangah yeah, no, I I Judgment Day defense instead of the Doomsday defense. And then my number one

on the nicknames that I really love. It's a reference to not only the Doomsday Defense, but it also brings a little bit of taste of the Legion of Boom back into it because of what Dan Quinn has done and what he's done on this side of the football. The Boomsday Defense. Nice, it's got a ring to it does booms Day because a good nickname, and there are a lot of good ones that have. It's got to look good, and it's not got to be simple. Yea simple. Legion of Boom is even long. That's a long nickname,

but it's stuck. Yah. Booms Day is one word and it gets everything across. That one is that it could be a celebration. It could be. I'll tell you how much I like that one. I like it so much. It made my top three. Oh, it made my top three as number three. Okay, so shouts out to booms Day, Um that that's that's just fantastic. It just really is.

My number two is the Lions didn't love it because I'm just envisioning what happens when you throw some meat or some prey into a den full of lions and the way the Cowboys defense swarms to the ball Carrier. That's exactly what happens in the Lion's Den. So I

love it. I love it, but number one for me from the fans, and this is really tapping into my inner Star War death Star like Death Star for me when I saw that, when I was like, oh, oh, it just rusts the spot all right, I'm talking and again you're talking to a diehard Star Wars guy, I mean, Empire and all just everything. So Death Star really hits

a tone with me. And then the fact, you know, just the entendre of it, right, the Death Star right, and the fact that opponents are seeing their demise when they faced this version of the Star. It's just it's fantastic. This is where I wish Chris Beam had a music license back there and he could just start and just oh, it's probably unreal. Okay, George, you could play it for like twenty seconds. Gonna cost you three million dollars? Oh God, with a goat, George Lucas, There's no way it's gonna

copyright my my singing, right, Yeah, probably not. Okay, you got a top three Isaiah, Yeah, I mean I already mentioned mine, Mine's Rough Riders, Dallas Swat and Boom's Day. Now, Okay, so those are the three they made it across the board. So that's a do you like any of those boot Dude, I'm just thinking, I'm closing my eyes and seeing the whole Dallas Swat thing with the guys like in front of one of those big old trucks you know, got the got the you know, like the armor on, Like

that is pretty sick. Is pretty sick on a poster on your wall. Absolutely, Because the thing is when you when swat, when you see the police, it's like, okay, the police here, but when you see the swat, You're like, oh, what's some somebody's having a bad day. Oh, somebody's about to have somebody's about that. It's bad. It's okay. So

we've got we've got nine names. Really it's seven names because Boomsday is across the board, but Death Star, Linstin, Rough Riders, Dallas Swat, Judgment Day, silver Lining, and Boomsday Defense or the seven names we've got left. When we come back here on Talking Cowboys, We're gonna start deciding on what's best for this team, what fits this defense best. And I'm also going to read off a ton of nicknames.

I just want to go down the list because a lot of you brought the heat, brought a lot of fire. We haven't said your name yet, but I want to when we come back with more talking cowboys presented by Black Rifle Coffee Company.

Here are some of the game and the names that did not make the finals. The Doomsdog Defense, which I kind of like and I just think of the dogs every time I hear it now, Dad Blue Crush, the Bermuna triangles where like offenses like to disappear or go to disappear. Uh,

the Wave of Dallas, the Dallas Storm, the Pride. We already talked about that. Uh. The Cowboys Zoo. I like the idea because there's a lot of animal references going on, but I just don't like enough. It's not enough. Yeah. Uh, the pain Killers I thought was really interesting. Uh. The Mighty Quinn Sack Pack. That sounds like a children's show that I would probably watch maybe. Um, The Apocalypse, The Nasty Boys, concrete jungle. Oh see that one's got some

ring to it. Um, we already said Lieutenant Dan's Infantry, Doom and Boom Quinn's war Dogs, Sacks are Us, the herd Land Sharks, Parsons eleven Uh, Legion of Doom's Day, which is close it. That's pretty good. The Rubber Band because they stretch over the entire field, Young Lions, the Sack Street Boys. I really like that one. I'm surprised that one didn't make the finals, if I'm being honest. Uh, Sack Masters, the Lone Star Legion. That's pretty good. Annihilators,

the Dan's Demolition Crew Bulldozing destruction. You know the reason why a lot of these didn't make it, at least at least from my perspectives. So long. That's kind of what I was saying earlier. It's gotta be sure it hasn't be something that I announced. You could just say real quick, Boom here a quitter, you know, yeah, control all delete delete delete, delete delete delete, Dallas swat We of course that one's in the final. Cadillac Cowboys the UFOs because they fly around. I bus all boys and

kind of like a lots of really good ones. Narrow down though, Yeah, we gotta narrow it down. I want you to throw yours into the mix. There was one that and shouts out to Mario stuff the ballot box foot like he definitely got one in here that I liked. If he had just not gotten greedy with with the work, Um, where's it hold on? Let me man Elf and Mario boys bringing bedlam. I like where you were going with it.

If you had, Mario, and I know you're listening, if you had simply said bedlam that it hit hard from bedlam, Bedlam would have hit hard for me. It's because, you know why, because they're everybody's they're going crazy. They're going crazy on this deal, and there's so much movement and controlled chaos on that side of it. Was just bedlam that that actually might have made it until my top

three shouts pretty barrio though. He boy, he came in with a wheel barrel full of suggestions and just stuffed him into the bellam. He also did it with him with with the alliterations Arlington Assassin, Assembly boys bringing Bedlam, Cowboys, Calamity, Congloberate, disruption, destination, Dallas and the Parsons problem. Posse say that one three times. No thanks, I think I want to keep my job. Yeah, all right, you're gonna mess up the I'm gonna mess

up the last one. It's going to be. I'd say, you've been you've been teasing this extra nickname, this one that you've come up. Yes, we're yes, we're hitting it out. Well, since you guys want to go ahead and in the competition. Oh um, all right, So I'm gonna read you the definition of mine first before I say what it is. You're right for this beamer born. All right, So the definition of my name is a violent, aggressive person who was hired to intimidate or harm people. Assassin the goons,

straight goons. I want a squad full of goons. Whenever you talk about a bunch of cats that you want riding with you, if you had to go on a dog on in an alleyway, who do you want ride with? You want? You want some goons right with you, no doubt about it. Right, It doesn't matter who's back there, It doesn't matter who's up there making a sack, who's making a force fumble, who's making an interception. You want goons on the field with you, no matter where you ride. Okay,

it's pretty good. I like it. What's yours, pat now mine? You guys already knew because I told you in one of the commercial break weeks ago, like first quarter of the season. Yeah. So I've been sitting on this sense and the fact that I haven't had to change it since tells me it's money. Okay. So here's what we do. We and this is just the biggest homage to Dan Quinn. You take what he was able to build in Seattle,

where you got the Legion of Boom. You take what he's building here in Dallas, which, although it's not equivalent quite yet to Doomsday, they've got the dogs to do it in the long run. You merge those two things together. Legion of Doomsday is what you got. Legion of Doomsday. I think it's the perfect marriage of what Quinn was able to do in Seattle, how he brought that blueprint over to the cowboys. Shouts out to the cowboys and Will McClay Stephen Jones for giving him the blank check

to build this defense the way it is. But for me, it's Legion of Doomsday. And we actually had one of our entrants from one of our fas Legion of Doomsday was one of the entries from got Bruce. I believe that's his Twitter handle if okay this British yep correct, So Bruce great minds think alike, my friend, Um, you didn't beat me to the table because I had mine back in somebody I will I will back up Patrick.

It was a couple of months ago where he was he was pounding Bruce with the co side legion of Doomsday. Let's go. Okay, So I'm gonna I'm gonna take some liberties here just because the time wise. I'm gonna eliminate some of them too, of which are my own judgment day in silver Lining. I'm gonna eliminate silver Lining Major top three. Why because it was yours? No no like of my top three? Yeah, yours in the oka uh

death Star. If I wanted to go through a big thing, I just want to stand on the table for booms Day because it's short, it's sweet, it gets that point, and it rings provocative. It's provocative to people. I'm gonna eliminate. I'm gonna eliminate Death Star just because of copyright issues. I'm I'm guessing. And then Isaiah, it looks like you just eliminated rough riders. So we've got we've got booms Day, lions Den, Dallas Swat Legion of booms Day and the Goons.

I'm gonna argue against the goons, Isaiah. I like the nickname, but you use that term a lot. You did you hear the definition? Yes, I heard the definition. The definition is being put on the shirt. No. No, But it's just a meaning right there. There are a lot of words that have just unbelievable different These guys are violent, but the word itself aggressive. People are violent who are hired m They're hired correct to intimidate and harm people. You know what a similar A word that has a

similar house isn't what they're paid to do. A word that has a similar definition but sounds much more visceral mesnaries right, mercenaries sound That's Kyle's point where it's like, I see where you're going, and your definition it is spot on, like it's vicious, perfect, it's perfect. The word in front of the definition though, mercenaries, I'm not giving you that. I'm just kind of like I said, assassins.

Like whenever you whenever you were giving a definition you could call a mercenary or there are words that have a similar definition that just hit harder than But if you watch in that locker room into these are the names mercenaries, dinner, or goons. Most of the cats are on defense. You know, you know that that's true what he speaking for me though, And it might just be because Kyle said it sounds like a mighty sounds like a kids movie he'd watched, you know, shoutside of the

Mighty Ducks. Because I'm thinking the goonies. I'm thinking, dude, I was thinking the same. No, Likeking Goonies. Now I can't underhear goonies in my head. So now you know, and that's not great, and that's not your fault. Now, it's really Kyle's fault. So blame Kyle. I'm not here for those that don't know. And I know we're showing our age Google or YouTube goonies. Hey, I mean I watched that back in the day too. Yeah, yeah, no, it's yeah. I don't know about that, so I don't.

I don't want to eliminate yours, though, I feel let's keep going feel bad, okay, So Legion of Doomsday, how we feel about that one we talked about link? Feel great? About it. It's a great name. I just want tying in from the past. That's like unique, I know, but like they don't. They don't want to be tied to that, you know, they want to be compared. They just want to be They want to be their own. Yeah, which

hot boys. You know what says The reason why I didn't call my son, you know, is said a second. You know, I just wanted to pause. I'm just saying, that's me, my son. I'm saying, but that's as me just like so for me. Yeah, but I'm they don't have any connection to those other guys, you know what I'm saying, Like your son has connection directly to you, which is cool, but they don't have any connections better those other guys. Well will get more better. I think

there is chip a legion of goon. Now we're getting a little, a little too carried away. I still so I can't I can't hear gooney. The thing about the thing about the connection, they do share a connection. One the guy who's leading this thing led one of the all time defensive fronts ever ever in the legion of Boom, And you can't let that slide. Like no, he's the reason we're even talking about nicknames, right, and why is

he the reason? Because of what he established in Seattle and he using that blueprint, and then every other great nickname, every other great nickname that has ever been here, has been Dooms or compared to it. So that's kind of where the connection history is more. I'm more of a unique And I thought you would like that because guess what who do you ride for? You ride for your hometown, which is what Okay, Seattle, Okay, so you you ride for Seattle. You gotta remember what else do you ride for?

You ride for where you're at currently in your hole now, which is Dallas. Like being tied to the past. That's just me. That's just me. Everybody's got their things. So leisday awesome as it is. It is great. So the other thing I wanted to think about is how many how many of these would show up on a Google search whenever we whenever we finally establish it, Which one

would show up on a Google search search? Better you you're big on the seos, which one would be best for that bias out bias aside, your Boomsday would be a good one. I would wonder if the web crawler for Google would like if you typed in doomsday, if it would by default also throw booms Day in there.

It made me not um, Legion of dooms Day would from an SEO standpoint, because if you um, whether you type in dan Quinn or Quinn or a Legion of Doom, like before you get to finishing of it's going to populate, you know, the little auto the recommendations, it will say Legion of Doom, Legion of Boom, Legion of dooms Day. So it'll be there, m Dallas swat, you'll you'll get that if you're googling law enforcement, right, so you're that's so to come up, but not in the aspect that

you would necessarily want it to come up. Um, so it would happen lions then that that would come up because I mean consider how many people google just the word lying, right, sure, So just from a nature aspect, I mean that's going to that's going to be there as well. So each one of these has a has a really good chance. It's a good chance, has a good chance. I would say again bias aside Legion of dooms Day, simply because it begins with legion and now

you're talking legion of boom. You're talking Legion of Doom, the actual Legion of Doom, Comic Wise and Cider cidera so um, but all full full of the final four have a shot in the seo realm. Okay, here's what. Here's what we're gonna be the rank them and rank them. Here's what we're gonna do. Yeah, we're gonna put it into a Twitter pole. Is that okay? Let's do it. Well, put it into a Twitter pole? Isai? I want to give you. I want to give you a chance. Since

it was in your top three? Would you rather replace Dallas Swat with the goons? You want to put the goons instead of Dallas s Water? Which one you like better? You're really feeling? I like the I like both. I like both, but we can only fit four. That's the only reason why go with you. I would go with I would go with the good. You go with the goons. Okay, So I like Dallas Swat because you got snipers, you got guys that bust the door down. I mean, you

know what I'm saying. I can't get all that right, M exactly right, but but goons to mean the definition and based upon what I know, the guys, the guys would would actually take on mask. Yeah exactly, it's it's going down. You really you're ready to go? We need some kids, would you? Who you calling? So good? This is so? This is good because we've got we've each of us had a top three. Each of us has a representative from that top three in the final and

we're rolling with it. We're rolling with it from that our final four, and we're gonna let Cowboys Nation talking Cowboys Nation decided. Legion of Doomsday Booms day of course, also referring to the Legion of Boom, Lions Din the Goons. So those are the four Legion of Boomsday Booms or Legion of Doomsday Boomsday, Lions, Den and the Goons. What's that? We should sending this to the social team and have them ask the as the locker room. I'm okay with that. I like that. I like it. I like it. So

those our final four. One of those names is what we will call the Dallas defense and what you should call the Dallas defense for the rest of the season. When we come back, we're gonna win you some money on draft kings, and we're gonna take some time to pick some games may not get to update stayings because we're run a little behind, but we'll be right back with more on Talking Cowboys, presented by Black Rifle Coffee Company.

This week, Dallas Cowboys taking on the Indianapolis Colts. We've got four names up there at the top. Dak Prescott sixty five hundred dollars going up against an opponent defensive rank of thirteenth Ezekiel Elliott six thousand dollars going up in an opponent rank of nineteenth. Peyton Hinder shot up there twenty six hundred dollars. Talk about a value that might be a value. This tight end group has been fun to watch. He scored a touchdown last week. Maybe

he gets more involved in the passing game. And he's going up against a team that gives up the fifteenth most so right there, middle of the road terms of opponents giving up points to tight ends. And then the Dallas defense and special teams unit is at forty three hundred dollars going up against the bottom of the barrel in terms of teams that give up points to the defense and the special teams, which leads me to Patrick nose Walker, what do you think you're talking about an

offensive unit that, outside of Jonathan Taylor cannot move the ball? Cowboys, if they can stop dunthan Taylor, it's it's a rap. So yeah, absolutely give me the Cowboys defense in this one. I wanted to go with hindershot for fun, but yeah, defense, this defense versus Matthew Stafford, I'm not Matthew Stafford. I'm sorry, Matt Ryan. Give me that. Give me that, give me that, give it, give me, give me here. I don't disagree

with you. I would go with the Dallas defense as well, but to not copy, I'm gonna go with Hindershot, Gonna roll the dice. I'm ahead and take my shot at Hindershot with the twenty six hundle keeping money in my hinder shot. Who you got ya, I'm gonna go with man. I'm thinking I really want to go with Peyton hinder shot. Yes, because you want the celebration. Yeah, because what's what's next? What is going to be next? Because they are back at home. I mean they're back there. They're gonna jump

into stack him to the Salvation Army. Get something else, the better. I guarantee they're gonna have something that we're gonna have something better. They got something, They got a full deck of celebrations. It looks like, yeah, no doubt. All right, I'm gonna go with Peyton Hindershot. I'm to go with my gut. That's how it's gone. Was my gut winning gainst my gun. I'm going with the defense and going with the gutt, my gut versus the signs. All right, really quickly here, we got to get through

this pretty fast. But Isaiah is still in first, the fans are in second. Patrick's in third. I'm in fourth at the moment in the standings. But we're getting closer and closer and closer. There's a ton of football leav that much. What are you talking about. This's just six weeks left today and then there's only five Oh gosh, it's still thirty games and you're only separated by a game over Patrick at the moment, actually Patrick, which was which was two games? Oh sorry, over the fans, thank

you very much. I got you, I got you. All right. We have got overseas caller on the line representing the fans this week. This is Marco in Italy. What's up, Marco? How's it going? Hey, guys, either, thank you for having me back, Thanks for calling in. Absolutely appreciate you calling as always. You ready to represent the fans a little bit? Yes, indeed, just one quick thing. I understand you know you close the ballots, But can I just for the record, give

your mind nickname for the defense? Yeah? Absolutely, I was thinking about the Machina pain Can being the machine m p in pain p as in Michael Parson. It's Machina for me. He came in late, Marco. But the heat, though, that's pretty with the canna lie to you. That's that's pretty darn good like that. All right, I'm glad you like it. We have to add that to the conversation. All right, we've got some games to pick. We're gonna start off Sunday at noon, the Steelers on the road

against the Falcons, both teams with seven losses. It's been kind of a weird season for both of those sides. Marco, who you got I'll take the Steelers? Send this one taking the Steelers. I'll take the Falcons at home, Isaiah, he said, Steve Yepers, Pat, Yeah, give me, give me picking a company against the Falcons defense. Okay, here's a rivalry game, but not a fun one this year. This is seven combined wins between these two. But the Packers on the road against the Bears. Patrick, who you got

from Packers? Yeah, I'm gonna take Aaron Rodgers here too, Marco, Yeah, the facts it ain't easy being cheesy. I like it all. This is a game that I don't think anybody expected to be as fun. And that's the New York Jets against the Minnesota Vikings. Up there at US Bank Stadium in Minnesota. Yeah, I said, Packers. Okay, Yeah, I say who you got Jets against the Vikings? Yeah? Wow wow. Jets on the road against the Vikings. Oh oh okay, yeah, Minie,

you're gonna take the Vikings here too, Vikings. Marco, gimme the Vikings. Isaiah might have just gained a game. Who knows NFC East Battle at noon? Yeah? Or lost the game NFC East Battle at noon. The Commanders on the road against the New York Giants, Patrick, Giants bounce back in this one. Oh, I'm gonna take the Commanders on the road to get the dub commanders Zulia Giants, Oh Giants, Marco, I don't take the commanders taking the commanders, all right?

What about this one? The Miami Dolphins eight and three on the road against the San Francisco forty nine Ers seven and four. It's the return of mister shoot Mike McDaniel back to San Francisco, faces former protege Wilson Junior and Moisturt ah So, another former forty nine er duo going up against their former team, the Dolphins getting to win, Marco, who you got? I got the Dolphins? Yes, Oh, I'm I'm gonna take the forty nine ers. I think Shanahan

gets done at home. Patrick, I think it would have to be Shanahan's defense, which is monstrous. But jeez, that Dolphins offense step has. I'm good taking Miami on the road. They're good. Yeah, taking a team. Man, it's already five games. We've already picked five games. I'm gonna I'm gonna throw in a bonus game. How about that Chiefs on the road against the Bengals. Chiefs and Bengals in Cincinnati. K Cincinnati, who's been playing really well lately, not enough to be still,

not good enough to beat the Chiefs. So you're taking the Chiefs absolutely. I'm gonna say, I'm gonna take the Bengals at home. I'm taking Joe Burrow and company. It's about time to Chiefs fall. It is about time to Chief's fall, which is exactly the reason going with Cincinnati. Oh, you're going with two? Let's go. This is dumb. Why are doing this? Because it just feels like it does? It feels right? Marco? Who you gott bes who? Yes?

Can we just pick three or four against the Chiefs? Wow? Okay, that bonus game might come back to haunt us all all right, Colts on the road against the Dallas Cowboys at and T Stadium, not only hosting Jonathan Taylor Jeff Saturday in that Indianapolis Colts, but they're hosting the pregame live show by the way, six pm. Turn up. Yeah, so get ready to get out there, be loud, be proud, and come say hi when we are out there. But the Colts trying to get back on track after their

Monday night football loss against the Steelers. The Cowboys trying to keep on rolling with either the legion of booms Day, the booms Day the Lions den or the Goons defense. So keep that in mind, Marco, who you got the Cowboys? Guys? Who got the Cowboys? Who will get to be consistent? As you say that this week, we got to be consistent. Um, no penalties, but yes, absolutely the Cowboys. That's that's a you know, Ma Sween game. What's your score en Cowboys

twenty seven seventeen. Marco, thank you so much for Colin. I'm sorry to Italy that uh that yeah, well, I'm I'm jealous of one that you're in Italy. Yeah, jealous of that fact. Straight up I'm sorry that you don't have that team to root for in the World Cup at the moment. I'm sorry about that one, but hey, you got you got a team to root for over here, which is a lot of fun. Thank you for Colin as always, and have a have a great weekend. My friend will talk to you again soon. Thank you for

having me. Guys, have a great weekend, and go Cowboys. There you go, go Cowboys. And he had a good nick name, gome. Um Patrick will start with you on this one. Cowboys and Colts Cowboys Coats um Dak Prescott remembers the Cowboys. I mean the coach shut him out. Um Malik Hooker. Although it's not technically revenge game for him because he has a lot of low for Indie, I still think he plays will former team. So Cowboys take this one. The four seven thirty four seven. Cowboys.

Just be careful. No penalty will reduce the penalties, eliminate the misqus so that the Coats won't be a one trick pony this weekend. So there you go. I like it. I think this is gonna be a closer game than normal, No cow I do. I think it's gonna be close twenty seven closer than you would think. Twenty seven to like nineteen, like a real weird score, one possession at the end. They kind of like flub it a little bit to kind of make it a one possession game.

Twenty seven to nineteen. Cowboys get the win at home over the Colts, and I think they get up early but then maybe let their foot off the gas a little bit. That's how I think this one's gonna go down. What do you think? I say thirteen? The Colts can't buck hard enough to get these guys A boy. There you go. Look at this is the creative juices that created the dunes right there. Yeah, that's that's that that that mind of your big time. Oh man, I hope you had some fun us this week, he said, what

was it? There? You go, Chris being in the back for Isaiah standback, Patrick Nosey walk around, Kyle Yeoman's hope you had some fun with us over the last forty five minutes. Go find the Twitter poll. We're gonna put it on the Talking Cowboys. Twitter is where we're gonna put it. I gotta talk to William, get it on there, it'll be there. We're gonna ask the locker room. We're gonna see what's happening and we're gonna officially decide what nickname is going down today. But that does it for

us today. We'll see you on Monday breaking it down for you Cowboys Colts coming up at seven twenty. It's a primetime game on Sunday Night Football. We'll see you then. This has been a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club ASSSSSSS
