The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. This He's Talking Cowboys, screaming live from the Dallas Cowboys World headquarters at the Star in Frisco. Helloing to the live says goot Tsunya today and now your hosts Isaiah Stanback, heck My Harrison, Rob Phillips, and Kyle Yeoman's it is a say it with your Chest Friday here are talking Cowboys. There's only one day a week, one day a week that you

normally get to experience it. But guess what, it's a special week, so you get to say it with your chest days. We had say it with your Chest Monday, and now we say it with your Chest Friday here on Dallas Cowboys dot Com. And for those of you who just tuned into the Draft show, thinks I am double dipping this morning here with my guys, Isaiah stand Back, Rob Phillips, and hack My Harrison. I'm Kyle Yeoman's continuing on on a week full of Cowboys headlines and news.

Week fourteen of the NFL season is upon us and Cincinnati Bengals await this Sunday afternoon. But boy's glad to be back with you guys as always. And well, let's just say, let's bring some positivity in the energy this morning. You know why, because Mike McCarthy seemed a little upset this morning on one to five three the Fan, to say the least, and Rob, did you get a chance

to listen to that interview? And what did Mike McCarthy like, I mean, did he wake up on the wrong side of the bat or something this morning, because he did not seem very happy with our friends Sean and RJ across the way you thought. So. I didn't think it was that he didn't think it was that bad. Maybe it's just the way he hung up the Oh you know what, I cut it off with like fourteen about fifteen seconds left. What happened? He? I mean, just right

in the middle of it. He basically like hung up, you know how, like whenever a friend calls you and you're busy, but you don't want to tell him you're busy, and you kind of try and get rid of them a little bit earlier before you have to hang up the phone. That's what it sounded like. It was like, oh, okay, all right, sounds good, goodbye and then hung up in the middle of Sean's outro. But it was a little interesting. But anything of substance out of that phone call my friend, UM, Well,

I'm not sure. I guess maybe there was some discussion about semantics like what we want to talk about effort or finish, you know, to the end of that Ravens game. That was one of the questions that Sean RJ had, you know, because Jalen Smith as he talked about how Mike addressed the end of that game, and they talked about how there's you know, anytime Jalen said, anytime a coach has to stand up and talk to us about effort,

that's a huge problem. That's unacceptable for the players. So you know, maybe that maybe that's a sore subject and that and you know that it's a hard subject to get into when you start talking about words like heart and toughness things you can't really measure. So maybe maybe he didn't like that discussion too much. I don't know where things stand as far as the injuries go. We'll see. Sound like Zeke should be he expects to be ready

to go for this game Sunday. Mike did address Cheetah Woozier on the on the COVID nineteen reserve list as of yesterday, hasn't been ruled out for the game officially, but said he has been exposed and so they're going to go through that process and see where he's at. So I guess those are the two big things that come out of it. But interesting call, huh, it was.

It was pretty interesting now whenever it comes to effort and accountability kind of like what Rob was just alluding to, And apparently Mike McCarthy and the coaching staff had to address the team about that yesterday, and it's something that with four games left in the season, you don't necessarily

want to have a part of the conversation. But Isaiah, is that what kind of moment or what kind of position does it take in a season for the for a team to to get to that point where they are really really challenging exactly the kind of effort that they're giving on the field. Um, I'm it's just indicative to a meltdown essentially. I mean, when you get to

that point, you got a bunch of grown men. But you know, between the ages of twenty one and what I would say thirty eight and you're having to tell them, hey, I need you to work a little harder, okay at your job that you get paid six figures to seven figures four, it's probably um and some people eight figures. Uh, it's it's it's it's sad. It's sad. It's something that should never happen. I don't believe that I had too

many of these. It wasn't a part of too many of those conversations, um, those discussions with teams that I was a part of an NFL at least. But you know, obviously in college you deal with that a little bit. But you're dealing with some younger some younger guys. Uh. It's something that you these coaches shouldn't have to worry about. But these coaches have their own worries instead of worry about these players and there in their levels they got they gotta put these guys in better positions to be

successful too. No, I'm sure, man, Yeah, I'm sure I was there that that. You know, the teams that you've played on are even thinking about, you know, the question of whether your team has heart or giving effort. But that's it, that's what they're alluding to. Basically, do these guys have heart? Have they quit on you? And those are all questions that coaches don't like to have asked. And if you ask any of the other thirty one other coaches the same question, you're gonna get an answer

like that. And so you want to call it semantics, whatever you want to call it, but you're questioning you're questioning grown men's heart basically when you start saying guys are not giving effort. So, you know, however you put it together, I appreciate Mike McCarthy being contin you know, being edgy about it and not liking the question because consequently, what he's being asked, are you coaching a bunch of

gutless guys? And the other thing Hack too, is that, you know, he said the other day he doesn't like grading players through the media, and so you know, Sean RJ are just going off of what's being reported out there, what players have talked about, what they've talked about in the meeting. But but Mike doesn't probably want that stuff out there. He wants to keep it private, and he doesn't he doesn't want to give the impression he told the players they quit. He just heat what he said.

I guess to clarify in this interview this morning, I want to five through the fan was just he didn't like to finish to the game. He didn't like the way they didn't finish strong in that game, regardless of the score. And you know, without being specific, look the last touchdown drive if you want to know infer what it was, you know, six straight runs and it was just it was too easy. I mean it was just too easy, easy money, I think, is what one of

the Ravens players said in the camera. Yeah, after the touchdown. So you know, you just got to finish strong, no matter how bad you're getting beat. You know that that bottom line and try to carry it to the next week and try to get better well. And it's also been back to back weeks where the Cowboys have not only not finished strong, I mean, look at Washington on Thanksgiving you give up twenty one unanswered points in the fourth quarter, and then against Baltimore in the second half

you self employed it and plot again. It's also the second straight game where a turnover resulted in a touchdown, not only on the ensuing drive, but on the next play where a turnover an interception, then on the next offensive play from the opponent has turned into a touchdown

to happen against Washington, happened against Baltimore. So either way, you can look at different spots in the game, You look at different scenarios, and the Cowboys could be challenged with their effort, but also how close of a line and how much of a towing of the line is Mike McCarthy doing here by blaming players or maybe not players, but at least the effort of some guys and not necessarily taking accountability on his own coaching staff and his

own right of saying, hey, we're part of the problem too here heckma oh, I mean Mike McCarthy is coaching his coaches as well and his play as Again, one thing that I love about Mike McCarthy is he's a very tight lip coach and a lot of the stuff that is leaking to the media or had leaked to the media, he's pulled a lot of that back by getting rid of guys that we're talking internally, but you know that he's trying to fix this with his guys

and make them understand that he needs leaders. He needs guys that when adversity strikes that they don't coward in the moment, and that's been one of the things that this team has done. Anytime they've turned the ball over, it's like automatic that the other team is going to score. And if you look at the league in totality, that's not a going trend. You know, just because you turn the ball over don't mean that the other team has

to score. But the Cowboys have faced that, and it's just the fact that when they do get down, you know, just having the moxie to get back in games, or at least having a sideline leader or someone saying that, okay, guys, lip your head up, let's get back in this game. We don't have that. You have a sideline shot of Guy's looking dejected because again, we're just a team fighting through all of this, and Guy's knowing where we are

as far as the rankings on defense. So it's hard to find that civil lining in push guys when they feel like it's all bloom and doom around him. Zam, Yeah, no, I don't. I don't disagree. I think you know, as a coach, you don't want to speak too much to the to the media. I always come from the perspective of my time in New England and Coach Belichick. He doesn't give you anything. Coach Belichick doesn't give you anything. He'll tell you everything behind the scenes, but he's not

gonna say anything forward facing. He's not gonna throw anybody under under the bus. Um. He's gonna be real short and sweet to the point, and just you know, everything that needs to be said needs to be said behind the doors. So I don't have any issues with what McCarthy has done publicly public facing. We don't have any idea what's being said obviously in the locker room. I can't even imagine that he that he's taking responsibility because you know, as heck Am alluded to, his primary job

is a coach to coaches. That's his number one job. Number one jobs coach to coaches and make sure that he has the right coaches in place to coach the players. Um, he's the overseer, he oversees things. He's not he's not there to one on one to coach these guys if they need it, they need it, but that's not his

primary job. His primary job is to make sure that he coaches the grown men, which are the coaches and the grown men of quote that our coaches need to coach these other guys to become grown menu so that you don't have to be talking about things like effort. And that's been part of the transition for him too as the first year head coach. Here is that coach and the coaches. It's it's a brand new coaching staff that has not worked together except for maybe a couple

of guys in previous spots. Obviously Mike and Mike Nolan have worked together before. Here about accountability, here's a quote that Mike had on Wednesday after the game. He said, there's a methodology to frankly, how I handle it in the media in terms of when a player makes a mistake. He said, because when I see a player making a mistake, the first thing I look at is do we give the player enough opportunities in practice to see that look?

Particularly the play you're talking about that was the latent mistake on the Lamar Jackson touchdown. So he's taking accountability there from the coaching staff standpoint of, yeah, you know, that was the look we liked pre snap, but we didn't get it done. So what could we have done better during the week? So I think I do think he's he has shown accountability that it does all fall

on him. I mean, ultimately it does. Your quarterback, head coach, wins and losses, the record is attached to those two guys usually, and you're going to continue to see that. I mean, whenever you have a banged up offensive line, you have a backup quarterback, and you have a defense that can't stop a nosebleed. There are plenty of places you can point the finger, but ultimately it's gonna come back to you as the head coach. You gotta find

a way to write the ship. And right now it seems like Mike McCarthy struggling a little bit to find that opportunity on how to write the ship. It looked like for a second there maybe it was gonna come over the last three or four weeks. Well, it hasn't necessarily been the case. And you get a chance for a win coming up the Sunday against Cincinnati. We're gonna go ahead and step aside for our first break on

a shortened edition of Talking Cowboys. But when we come back, Andy Dalton going back to Cincinnati, does that result in a Christmas tree for mister Heckma Harrison. We'll talk about that and a whole lot more when we come back. You're on talking Cowboys. There's nothing as unique as our eyes, which is why Selor pioneers ways to make lenses as unique as you.

G for you for details. To talk in Cowboys back, You're on Talking Cowboys on a Say it with your chest Friday from the SWBC Mortgage Studios, Kyle Lmen's alongside heck Ma Harrison Isaiah stand back are resident Super Bowl champion and our Cowboys insider Rob Phillips, And well, uh, let's go ahead and get this Selore lens read going here. With Slore lenses, you can see every exciting playbook, an appointment at your local essel or experts, and see what es Selore can do for you. See more, do more.

It's gotten to the point where, Isaiah, whenever you do the goggles, it almost looks like you're swimming and you're kind of floating up from the bottom of the screen. I kind of like that, you never know, I might be previewing the swim line. Oh the swimmer they're expanding their their line of products. Huh, just saying, you never know, they might just have nice little lenses in the side of goggles. I think there's a good a good chance of that. I think moving forward, and I think Eslore

should look into those kinds of adventures. Let's say, let's get into what was a bet made yesterday on this show. And I kind of wanted to take a take a moment here to really commend some of our fans for who sent in some ideas on what HECMA would have

to get Isaiah should he lose this bet. So the bet was Andy Dalton in his return to Cincinnati, would throw for three hundred yards and three touchdowns against the Bengals, and Isaiah was the one that said that is going to happen, and heck Ma Harrison said that is not going to happen. Isaiah's already ponied up his side at the deal and He's gonna buy heck Ma Harrison a bigger Christmas tree than mister Heckma has in the back of his background. There there you go, moving over to

the side. Then, uh, if Hecma should lose the bet, we didn't really have anything, but I think we should. We should give credit where credit is doing. And I'm gonna find the tweet. But one of our fans came in and one of the Cowboys fans, Tony Baker, said, Isaiah has to buy the Christmas tree and HECMA has to donate fifty or more dollars to Isaiah's charity of his choice this Christmas season. And I think that's a perfect way to do this bet. Should things go right

or wrong for either one of these guys. Heck, would you agree to these terms? I've already donated to Isaiah's charity, so okay, I guess I'll you know, okay, well we'll do that. There's no problem, that's no problem. I'm gonna get my tree. I'm not even thank you, Tony. Uh yeah, don't. Don't you have the homeless? Yes? He yeah, he does. He does Union Gospel Mission. Yes, I didn't. I didn't want to, you know, butcher it on there. But yeah, that's it, that's it. Yeah. Well okay, so if that

is that where the money would go Isaiah? Is the fifty dollars to the Union Gospel Mission. Yes, Union Gospel Mission. There's a number of charities that I support. But if he's already given a Union Gospel Mission, maybe, well, we know, we'll go with another one. We'll see, we'll see. There's there's plenty out there, there's plenty out of support, a lot of people doing great, great things. Well, and of

course it's the season tends, the seasoned up giving. So absolutely, Isaiah, you know what, either way, win, lose, a draw, you got that. So but you know what, in advanced we would like to thank you for your support. And your donation. Oh man, this is going to be interesting. So outside of Andy Dalton this week, Oh also, I wanted to mention the Salvation Army also this this holiday season at about those guys and all the great work that they

do throughout the year. Of course, the Cowboys big supporters of the Salvation Army. And it's like you said, it's the time to give this holiday season and continue yeah, ringing the bell throughout the next couple of weeks. But outside of Andy Dalton, Rob, who do you see potentially having a big game for the Cowboys. I mean, this

is a defense that's susceptible at areas for Cincinnati. Sure, they've got some guys in the secondary that are pretty decent, but overall, I mean, this is an opportunity for this offense to get back on track. Who do you think could have maybe their biggest game of the year. Well, you look at Tony Pollard and what he did a couple of days ago against the Ravens, and he didn't have a lot of production in that game, but the attempts were there. You know, he almost matched his his

season high and attempts in rushing. Because Zeke was banged up with the calf, and he told us yesterday was it's kind of more of a bruise. He's gonna plan a fight through it. But there may be more opportunities for Tony, not only on offense, but hey, kickoff return. He's given him some juice there, so I think there's a potential for him just to get his touches up and they're gonna need to try to beat Cincinnati in

a couple different ways. He can do that passing, running, kickoff return, all those things well, and I think there's an opportunity that he may pop up. And here in this next segment at the start of say It with your Chest Friday's prediction segment as one of your Draft Kings players to watch too, have a pretty good idea. A little little tea. Yeah, it's okay, it's okay, we can talk about it again. No, no, I was trying to basically lead you to the offense, but that's actually

a great point on your end. Let's look at the defensive side of the football first, and then we'll go to offense in the next segment, so we can save that for the play back Chris next segment, when I cut it and play it again, that's a good way to do it. But let's talk about the defensive side of the football. Who could potentially have their best game

of the year on that side. Heckmon, whenever it comes to trying to slow down Joe Mixon, Joe burrow less Cincinnati offense for our defense, I mean, you gotta, you gotta look no further than guys like Tank Lawrence, You you gotta look kid, Randy Gregory, Interior line Wise, Hamilton uh Done, all of our guys. We just pick a number and say that guy needs to have a big game. But LV is another guy that really has to get the taste out of his mouth from that Baltimore's showing.

And I'm sure and I'm sure that he is ready to go this Sunday because look, there's a lot of bad film out there from last week, and you guys documented in the film stuff as well. It's just so much poor play that's happening on that side of the ball. But you know, as you get through the scenes and and hopefully we get an opportunity to see guys like You're Bradley and I I Kyle, You've been asking to see this guy, So I just meant it this may

be a perfect opportunity. Well, I'm just I'm trying to be hopeful for you holding one, So don't do that. So discouraged and hopeless either Bradley and I or Reggie Robinson. I want to see both of those guys, and they don't show up, or at least they haven't been able to show up. They haven't been active or just not on the field a whole lot. But hey, I appreciate your effort, my friend. I do, I really do. That's

I'm trying to do. There's a geez of me. But like I said that, all of these guys have to have some type of show them because even when you go back to when you say, all right, we were trying, we're making things better, and you look no further than the Minnesota game where our defensive line scene as though they held things in check right for that victory. But here we go again with situations where you turn on the film and you got guys getting dug out of there.

I think we were laughing about, Hey, we thought done. Terry Post showed up at the Cowboys facility again. No, it's just another guy wearing ninety five. It's getting the same kind of treatment. So defensive line, our front seven has got to be a lot better than what they have been, especially in the game where you don't go into it's saying, okay, this is a premier running back in gi overnar ISAA. On the offensive side of the ball,

I think CD is gonna go off. I think CD and um Any Dalton have have found some kind of chemistry. So I foresee that happening and are continuing UM just with bigger chunks, bigger plays, and we faith that we saw this past week on a defense side of the ball. M heck, we just said it. I'm looking forward to seeing LV bounce back. I my hope, since we're talking about hope, my hope is that LV and Jaylen Smith

are absolutely tired of everybody dogging them. I hope that the inner competitor inside both of them um comes out, and that the wolf comes out, and that the dog on Swiper comes out, and that they figure it out and they become the dog on bash Bros. From back in WWE, and they just go out there and they just like this the whole Yeah. Yeah, I need those guys to come out and look at each other in the eye and say let's we're tired of this crap. Let's go show these boys we're about So that's my

that's my hope, that's my intent. Let's see what they do. Hey, Isah forgot to tell you because you said yesterday this game is gonna be like a out of Royal I broke out the WrestleMania thirty two, yeah stadium back in the day. So yeah, about a royal bushwhacker styles. Now another guy who I think could have some success on the WWE tour but hasn't necessarily had success the last

couple of weeks. How about Neville Gallimore? Where's my rookie Neville Gallimore been whenever it comes to the effort that we saw against Pittsburgh, I mean the last two weeks, I haven't seen that same kind of fight, that same kind of push from juice. Yeah, the juice just hasn't necessarily been there for Neville. And I think that's something that is significant because you want to see progression at from from your rookies. And I just talked about how

you haven't seen an eye. You haven't seen Robinson and now Gallimore, who is your third round pick and not necessarily bring the impact that you once thought was gonna happen. Where has he been Isaiah on the film room that you you've been able to look at it, And how has he been swallowed up so easily? Well, you know, I don't know how much you know about juicing, Kyle, but when you have fresh juice, freshie squeeze juice, you know it goes bad fast. You know what I'm saying.

It's great when it first came out, but it goes bad fast. So you gotta go out and re up on your produce. So well, Gallimore needs to do. He needs to go back and re up on his produce because now the league sees him, now they know who he is. You're no longer the new guy that we don't have any film study up, So you gotta change some things up, youngster. Ask some of these veterans around go maybe go back and grasp some film. When I first came into league, I didn't know a dog on

thing about receiver. I knew jack squat about receiver because I threw a ball for a living. So all of a sudden, I'm sitting up here and I'm picking picking the ear of Michael Irvin. You know, Taryll Owens, you know, Patrick Craton, Terry Glenn. I'm asking that, you know, I was over talking to Blackwell in the film room asking him for DVDs. Uh, you know Tory Holt and Calvin Johnson and all these other guys that were like my size that I can just study just to gain some knowledge.

That's what he's gonna need to do, to go back and try to gain some other skill sets and some other moves, because what you put on film those first couple of weeks that you that you came into the world. Now everybody knows what you're doing, and these guys are veterans. They can stop that. So you need to go into a new bag of tricks. Hey, Kyle, Another spot to

keep an eye on defensively is corner. I mentioned Cheeto that's good on the COVID nineteen list, Mike McCarthy saying that Cheeto, you know, he was exposed, and so they're gonna go through that protocol and see where he's at when he might be able to be cleared in play if he can't play, And I was looking at the participation for the season. Cheeto, Jordan Lewis and Anthony Brown may have only been on the field so far this season like one game together because of all these injuries

we talk about lack of continuity at certain positions. Quarterback has really been hit by injury and absences this year. And so if there's no chio Sunday, Anthony Brown will see what he does in practice today. Maybe he can come back this week. If not, you're looking at Jordan Lewis and Richard Robinson, maybe Deontay Burton. That's where that's how deep in the bag they're gonna have to go. And look, if the Bengals can do one thing right now,

They've got receivers who can beat you. T Higgins, Tyler Boyd with a deep touchdown last week, um Drew sample. They're tight end is solid, like they've got guys. Uh if if Brandon Alan can get them the ball. So that's a huge concern potentially in terms of depth there. That goes rob That goes rob Taking all the meat off your hope sandwich, Isaiah. Sorry sorry sorry, it's just cheese and bread right now. I mean squeezed juice. Yeah, I've got I don't know if you saw it, Isaiah,

but I brought out the fruit cup baby Smith. You know whenever you started haydon a you right now? Yeah? Oh man, Yeah, corner is gonna be. You gott to clarify that too, Isaiah when you go into Hey, I guess I gotta say, Isaiah, when you sought off a statement about juicing, you know, you gotta be pretty specific about that. So you're talking to I didn't know what he's doing either. There's different kinds of juicy. You got the slow juicer, right, you got the They got the

fast juicer. The slow juice has to have as much pulpe and as much foam at the top. You know, it's different levels. You know, there's different levels. I know we're not sponsored by any juicers, so I'm not gonna say any names, but juicing is good. I say it probably isn't a sponsor. We just don't know. Yeah, they probably. We probably have one will down the line. I'm sure somebody's there. But let's go and take our second break, and when we come back, we'll say it with our chest.

We'll give you a couple of DraftKings players to look at this week around Daily Fantasy Football, and we'll give our predictions to the twenty or excuse me, to week fourteen NFL slate of games and predict the Cowboys game.

Welcome back into our final segment here of talking Cowboys on this say it with your chest Friday, and well, ladies and gentlemen, it's one of the fun segments of the week. Time to look at some daily fantasy football players from DraftKings. Here are four guys from the Dallas Cowboys that have

an opportunity to make an impact this week. Ceedee Lamb up at the top of that list, just eighty four hundred dollars, ranked nineteenth in his rankings. He's got the fantasy points per game just over thirteen and a half of Mary Cooper even better, but he costs a little bit more whenever it comes to that daily fantasy number at fifty fifteen thousand, nine hundred dollars, Tony Pollard twenty four hundred and Andy Dalton just over ten grand and Andy Dalton, I mean, hey, Isaiah, You've got a lot

of confidence in Andy Dalton. Why can he have some success whenever it comes to the Cincinnati game this weekend? Because the man wants redemption. He wants to let the city of Cincinnati know that he is still a dude. And any if last week was any indication as to what he maybe brewing, maybe cooking up for this week, then I am excited because he had a heck of a game last week when he had some protection. He had one ball that got batted down and got intercepted.

Aside from that, he was moving the ball. They were playing a soft, soft defense to allow everything underneath. I don't think that Cincinnati's gonna play soft defense because I think that they want to try to embarrass him in his return to home. So his his job to make sure he identifies the blitzes and gets the ball out

to take advantage of these guys. And just like Tyler Boyd did last week how he took off and send me two yards, I expect some of our guys to do some of the same things multiple times and resulting in three hundred yards to receive a touchdo throwing and three touchdowns. Like I told Heckma, I'm gonna make a nice little donation. Heck I appreciate you. I like it, Hey, And if he ends up hitting those numbers, then everybody using Andy Dalton and DraftKings fantasy football is going to

be very happy with this weekend. Now, Rob, you mentioned Tony Pollard earlier. Why could he have success Because he's a bit of a value pick sitting at twenty four hundred. Yeah, I mean he can help you out. You know, if you've got the Cowboys defense slash special teams, right, I guess they can help you as well with his kickoff returns. But you know, he's he may get more opportunities on offense.

We'll see what Zeke's snap count is. He says he's playing, But you know, I like seeing those eight carries from Tony if I'm if I'm using Tony in this game from a fantasy perspective, and we know we keep waiting for him to pop up. Maybe in the passing game. He's got that that skill as well. So if Zeke's not one hundred percent, look for TP to get a little more action. Heck, who on that list took out to you as somebody who could have a big game, Ceedee Lamb. I think I think Ceedee Lamb is he

has to have a big game. I mean, he's had a couple of drops and people in the media are down on him because you know, you got to think about a few of those catches that he's made before. I believe in the Minnesota he made the impossible look easy, and he's starting to make the easy look impossible, all right, So you gotta start getting those catches, young man. And you know, against Cincinnati, they realize that Amark Cooper is our lead dog and a Mark Cooper is quietly having

a thousand yards season. But because of that, I expect from Cincinnati to pay a lot more attention than nineteen and give number eighty eight to some opportunities underneath. And we knew this going into the season that defenses couldn't just you know, specify or capitalize on shutting down. They can shut down one of our guys, but they can't shut down all of them. And I look for Ceedee Lamb, like Isaiah said, he may get take a quick slant

to the house. So you heard it, he hex. So what you're saying is so, so if if Ceedee Lamb didn't drop the touchdown last week, you're saying that any Darden would have had three hundred yards and three touchdowns. Oh if was a fifth. I told you about that. Come on, hey, man, let me do my analyst thing. Man, I'll trying to you. Don't put that back. I don't care what's your mouth saying. I tell you you're talking all thirty two teeth in your mouth Tree, oh Man

The leader in daily Fantasy Sports, the leader in our

pick thems this season is mister Rob Phillips. We're not through fifty games of predictions on this show in twenty twenty, and Rob Phillips is sitting at thirty bare and twenty up at the top of the list. Second place a game and I got the best tree too. Well, stop talking for a second. Stop talking for a second, Stop talking for a second. What you say? Who was this second place? I'll say that again. Sorry. Heck Ma Harrison is in second place a game back at twenty nine

and twenty five. Third place is Isaiah stand Back. He's at twenty eight and twenty two. And then I am bringing us career the Caboose, the coming from the back twenty seven. I'm just all behind and I needed to catch up. While I can if that's what you want to put it, and we'll do it that way. Okay, let's start things off with the Vikings in the bucking Ears. Minnesota got back on track last week and Tampa Bay.

They've allowed under seventy five rushing yards per game this season, the few ish in the NFL, and man, wouldn't that be nice? But it's not the case for the Cowboys. Isaiah, who you got TB twelve your boy against the Vikings. Yeah, I'm going I'm going. I'm not going with TV twelve this time. I'm going with Leonard Fournette. This time, Leonard Fournette goes off. Rob Yeah. At some point Tom and company are gonna get turned around and make the playoffs.

So give me TV twelve n Fournette. Yeah, Bruce, Arians and Brady have not been on the same page. And I love the soap opera call the Tampa Bay Bucks. But I'm gonna take him. I'm not gonna be foolish, bold and courageous. I'm thinking about being bold and courageous here. I'm gonna take the Vikings and try and gain a game.

I'm gonna try and gain one here. I think Dalvin Cook has a good game, he shows up against that rush defense, and if anything, I'll just lose the game and I'll be in the same position I'm in right now. Let's move on to the car Who, Kyle, who are you the commissioner of this of this of this drafting league. I'm not sure what we're referring to this ass, but I feel like Heck was just gonna shadow me the rest of the season, just so he could be ahead of me through the rest of the I feel like,

what's gonna happen. He wants to catch me, but he doesn't want to lose his current position. Get money, don't make no money. I mean, he'd be more satisfied with beating me than just winning everywhere. It's a strategy. I think it's fine, all right, Cardinals and Giants. Arizona's lost four, the UH started the season five and two. Heck, but yeah, let's let's have you start this one first. I'll go second, Giants, Cardinals, Giants at home, Giants at home, running game. I'm going

to Cardinals. I'm gonna go Arizona here as well. Rob Daniel Jones back this week. I know, I don't think so. I'm trying to look, give me, give me Arizona, give me the Giants. Oh he's going bold, going bold. I like it out on that That not rob p Island, But you're going out on a mister, standback Island. Uhland. Chiefs playing for the division. Baby, let's go. Broncos and Panthers, both teams sitting at four and eight Denver five and

one all time versus Carolina. These are two teams that don't play a whole lot, and that includes in the playoffs. This is a rematch of Super Bowl fifty. I'm gonna take the I'm gonna take the Panthers to win this one. I think Teddy Bridgewater if he I don't even think is he back yet or not? I don't know, but I'm gonna take the Panthers. Either way. Let's go with Rob next. Give me the Broncos on the road. I like it, heckma on the road on the road. You

know what. I feel confident in the Broncos as well. I think the Broncos this is one they can get. Okay, we have to pick this game. Well, it's because it's two four and eight teams. We're trying to keep it close here and make it tough. Oh, two teams that are better than the Cowboys. Okay, whoa, Let's go with the Panthers. I'm just saying you said four and eight like it was a real bad thing. There's worst there is. We'll get there. Did you just pick somebody or did

I just miss that? I did? I said the Panthers my favorite animal. Okay, I like Panther. That's hey, Panthers, pretty cool. Let's go with the Colts and the Raiders, Las Vegas thirty plus points in fourth of their last five games. I mean, that's a team that's been scoring a lot. Isaiah, who you got on this one? I'm going my tight ending Waller Waller for the win. I thought you were gonna say Jason Witten, but you instead

went with Waller instead. Probly you got uh give me Phil Rivers and the Colts to get to nine and four. That's the one I needed you to pick. That's what I'm talking about. Rob. Thank you for first place. We'll see, we will see. Yeah, I'm going Philip Rivers as well. I think that the better defense is definitely Indy, and so with Waller that's they got. They got have that threat in him. But that's about it. So I'm definitely going indy right now. Isaiah's about his death Lord glasses.

He's like, let's see it. I can see it. Come in and you can see me sitting right next to him on that bus as I'm going with the Raiders as well. Isaiah and I split it. Talk about ky Baby. Yeah, we're going with the Raiders on that one. Riding strong. Okay. This is a Sunday, Yeah, a Sunday afternoon game. The Washington football team versus the next opponent for the Cowboys, the San Francisco forty nine ers. San Francisco three hundred and twenty six total yards per game this season. That's

the sixth fewest in the NFL. And that's without really their entire defensive line. Let's start with with me on this one. I'm gonna go with the Washington football team to win this one. Heckma Yeah, Washington football team is just showing us man with that defensive front, they're gonna be hard to beat in December, and they just look like they're getting stronger. So football team for me, Rob

do it. Alex Smith. Maybe the comeback player of the Year gets another win in Washington takes the lead in the division sole possession, Isaiah, this is your chance, do it? Dare you? I'm going with my dog Richard Sherman. Let's go baby San Francisco. Oh man, we're gonna have either or completely again. Okay, So this one's fun. Steelers at eleven and one, coming off that loss to Washington Sunday Night Football versus the Bills and Buffalo Josh Allen, Isaiah,

we'll let you start this one off to Steelers Bills. Crap, where are they at in Buffalo? Buffalo? M I think coach Tom and off of a loss, he's gonna be pissed off. So I'm going with the Steelers. Okay, heckma, all right, I'm in below and man, the way that the defense is playing offense, I'm gonna go with the Bills. In my field, I'm gonna go with the Sea will be had this week. Yeah, I'm gonna go with the Steelers in Pittsburgh on the road. Rob, I think we're

gonna see Chiefs Bills in the AFC title games. Oh my god, a sleeping giant Buffalo. Wow. So we're split two and two again on this one. Hey, I'm picking call this week. Okay, shake it before you bake it. Big one on the line, and it's the battle for pen a soul. It's the tank for the number three overall Pick Bowl. It's Cincinnati hosting Dallas up in Ohio. Cowboys trying to get back on track. So are the Cincinnati Bayles at the same time, both teams really struggling,

both teams with bottom four records in the NFL. We'll let h We'll let mister heckm Harrison go first on this one. I'll follow them up. Yeah, I want to call it. You want to say team tank. I told you guys, this is all organic here. Okay, we're doing this organically like the juicer. All right, but like Isaiah said, it does go spoil pretty quick. All right. This is gonna be somewhere a toilet just flushed. But I will have to say here that the Cowboys cannot lose this game.

Just for their own self respect. I just believe the Cowboys pull pull this out, all right. I'm gonna go with Cincinnati here, And the reason why is I'm sticking with what I told everyone originally was I'm just not gonna pick the Cowboys again just because I'm upside. Don't care, Bro yeah, bro, I am the stand back appointed commissioner of this league. I can do it, and I'm gonna pick Cincinnati. And I mean he's the host too, I'm the host by the pardoner. You pardon yourself yourself. Yeah,

that's that's all it is here on this show. Rob you got well heck heck picks the Cowboys, but he's got no faith in Andy Dalton. I've got faith in Andy Dalton, he said yesterday, without really explaining why, that he was disappointed with the way things ended in Cincinnati. Maybe it was because he didn't have a chance to go anywhere till May. But he's gonna get some measure of revenge. I think he's gonna play well. I think the Cowboys it's not a pretty game, but they win

something like twenty one seventeen. Love it. Come on, Isaiah red Rifles, locked and loaded. I think he's gonna go ham Oh, Andy Dalton and the Cowboys on the only one picking the Bengals. But that's okay, that's just basically out of a personal vendetta against being upset about the Dallas Cowboys. So I'm upset and I'm gonna pick the Bengals. But that's gonna do it here for us this week on Talking Cowboys. Glad you've been along with us over the last couple of days. We'll be back on Monday

nine thirty to break it all down. Good or Bad Cowboys, Bengals at noon on Fox coming up on Sunday. Have fun over the weekend. Everybody, stay safe, continue to socially distance, and we'll be back with more Talking Cowboys. But for Heck Harrison, for Rob Phillips, and for Isaiah Stanback. Of course Chris Beam in the back doing some great work. I'm Kyle Yeoman saying so long from the Star in Frisco.

We'll see you on Monday. This has been a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
