[Patrick Walker]

Yeah.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

I'm excited to see the impact.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Yes.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

I'm saying. And here's the thing.

[Patrick Walker]

Say it with your chest.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

It doesn't have to be in the form of sacks initially.

[Josh Rodriguez]

No, right.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

There's so many ways than.

[Patrick Walker]

But we like those.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

I like those.

[Josh Rodriguez]

I like those.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

I like sacks.

[Josh Rodriguez]

I like pressures, threat, having Jadavian clowny out there. Come on now.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

When you have to be concerned about more individuals. Right. There's so many things that you can do as Eber Fl. When you can say, I can create one on one matchups.

[Patrick Walker]

Yeah, you can.

[Kyle Yeomans]

You see?

[Isaiah Stanbach]

I see how I'm doing this because. Let me get this. Let me get my pen out of my phone. I know you guys don't have your stylist, so when you could take your little laser and you say, I want to create a one on one matchup right here with this left tackle or this right tackle. Right. And you can interchange guys. I love that. Right. Because then you can create opportunities for your guys to win.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yeah.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

And when you create opportunities for your guys to win, you could challenge them not only schematically, but you could challenge them as a man.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yeah.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Can you beat that guy across from you? You know what most guys are going to say?

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Okay. I love that. Because everybody wants a fair opportunity to compete. Mano Emano. And when you have guys that are threatening like that, now Eberflus can get in his bag.

[Patrick Walker]

You know how I know Isaiah is serious about this and passionate about this point? The enunciation.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Oh, yeah.

[Patrick Walker]

Did you see how he put that T?

[Kyle Yeomans]

That's got a little bit of like.

[Patrick Walker]

I mean, that was a hard T. That's right in the middle of that. I respect it. Hey, but I'm with him, man. Jadevion Clowney is likely and expected to.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

That's right.

[Patrick Walker]

Make his Cowboys day. You.

[Kyle Yeomans]

So can I ask a question that might bring that room a little bit?

[Patrick Walker]

He was doing Isaiah.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yeah, I was.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

I picked that up just in case I didn't want him to be long enough. Not my brother's keeper.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Appreciate you. How many snaps is he gonna play?

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Ah, 17, 20, 15, probably.

[Kyle Yeomans]

I'm thinking 15, 15 to 20, something like that.

[Josh Rodriguez]

And. And it's going to be past situations.

[Patrick Walker]

It'S going to be pass for a situation. Yeah. Now what I will say is again, we can't, we can't keep blowing past the fact that JVON Clowney is a. An above average run defender. So I that to say yes, he will be out there situationally for pass rushes, but I don't know if it'll be as early as this week. Maybe start to ramp him up and. And you know, deploy him more in the run defense.

[Kyle Yeomans]

No training.

[Patrick Walker]

However, eventually he will be. Those situations will include some sprinkling in of some run defense sprinkle.

[Josh Rodriguez]

So who else will. Whose roster spot is he taking?

[Patrick Walker]

I mean on the active. I mean on the game day.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Game day roster spot.

[Patrick Walker]

Oh, that's a good question.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yeah. Because he's already taken the 53 for those that are of course like oh, BB went to IR but of healthy.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Scratches of your inactive guys who's sitting that was otherwise active last week.

[Kyle Yeomans]

I was surprised at how similar last week's inactive list looked like in to week ones. I thought last week's it was almost carbon copy except you threw an extra name in there.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

You're not gonna like me.

[Kyle Yeomans]

I wouldn't be surprised to see that happen again.

[Patrick Walker]

What's your answer? Say it with your chest as a rock rule. No.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Oh, just telling you really my thoughts.

[Patrick Walker]

You think so?

[Isaiah Stanbach]

It's my thoughts.

[Patrick Walker]

Yes.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Yes.

[Josh Rodriguez]

If you have. If you had to pick somebody on the defensive line.

[Patrick Walker]

Yeah.

[Kyle Yeomans]

I don't know about.

[Patrick Walker]

I don't know.

[Josh Rodriguez]

I. I don't know, Jim. No, no, I.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

And it's not the.

[Josh Rodriguez]

You have an answer and guess what, you said it with your chest. These guys. Yeah, they're stalling.

[Patrick Walker]

I'm gonna say with myself.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Go ahead.

[Patrick Walker]

Okay. I think based upon the fact that you want to get clowny out there and there is a defensive end, although very capable, he's off to a slow start. Maybe you make Dante inactive this week.

[Josh Rodriguez]

That's.

[Patrick Walker]

That's Dante's off to a slow start. We know what Dante's capable of. He's not saying his face.

[Kyle Yeomans]

You pay him too much.

[Patrick Walker]

Film watcher. Right.

[Kyle Yeomans]

That part you pay.

[Patrick Walker]

Okay, but that part that's true if, if. But if we're asking coaching decision if Dante Fowler. Josh is asking a coaching question. I am as a coaching question. The guy who's having a slow start, I would say. But again, give the new guy an opportunity and then next week I'll figure.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Some things Again though, if he's only playing 15 snaps, you need a guy that's going to carry The. The bulk of the load.

[Patrick Walker]

Right. That's fair. I just have.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

So if Donovan Aku and Dante Fowler Jr. Are having the same impact on a game with their slow starts.

[Patrick Walker]

News enough.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Who do you have Honestly, who do you have more faith can have an impact on your game.

[Patrick Walker]

Cuz you got.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Thank you very much. So if you had to make the decision based off that.

[Patrick Walker]

Yeah, thank you.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

The other is my second round pick. I hear you, but you're sitting your first round pick right now. Oh no, no.

[Patrick Walker]

You're sitting your former.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Former.

[Brian (Caller)]

Former.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Still round pick. Former, former. Is he still not a first round pick?

[Patrick Walker]

What year is this? Huh? We're not acting like.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Is he still getting paid? Same paycheck.

[Patrick Walker]

What's the date on the.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Is he getting paid.

[Patrick Walker]

What's the date on the milk?

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Is he getting paid the same whether he plays or not?

[Patrick Walker]

What's the date on the milk?

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Is he getting paid the same? No, his check hits the same.

[Patrick Walker]

See, you're talking about a front office decision.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

You're right. That's what we're talking about.

[Patrick Walker]

Coaching decision you said. Yeah, this one got away from me. But what's the expiration on the milk? That's what I'm saying.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Why did we talk milk? That's on the shelf, sir. It doesn't get it. Expired powdered milk.

[Patrick Walker]

Exactly. News and notes, guys.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Remember, you don't have to.

[Patrick Walker]

Yeah.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

What is your answer?

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yeah, I'm getting there. I'm trying to give you the answer. Keep interrupting. You don't have to take it from that specific position. You can take it from anywhere on the field. Take it from anywhere.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Are you going to take it from your secondary?

[Patrick Walker]

No.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Okay. You can take it from your linebackers probably.

[Kyle Yeomans]

No, you're going to have Shamar James out there already. That's already going to be on the inactive list.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Yep.

[Kyle Yeomans]

So keep that in mind.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Yeah, I don't like that by the way.

[Kyle Yeomans]

I don't either, but that's what you're going to do. It's going to be an offensive lineman. That's what's going to happen.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

You've got to. You're down there. Hold on. You're down and off as a lineman. You're saying no. Another one.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yes.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

I think you have Booker.

[Patrick Walker]

Steve.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Not. Goodbye.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Have all the starters.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Not great.

[Kyle Yeomans]

You're telling me that Trevor Keegan is going to be your answer instead of putting Jadavian effing Clowney on.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

So how many linemen are you going to have?

[Kyle Yeomans]

You're gonna have on game day seven.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

So you'll be fine. Two in reserve.

[Kyle Yeomans]

DJ Bass can play like six positions.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Two in reserve.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yeah, they'll be fine.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Yeah, no, they'll be fine. You know, you talking about the ability for. The ability for players to get rolled up on and you're saying there's nobody, there's fine. You can find somebody.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Johnny Cornelius has been inactive the last three weeks.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

You can be fine.

[Patrick Walker]

Yeah, but you had a healthy front five.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Let me give you perspective.

[Kyle Yeomans]

You have one guy dropping perspective and three guys behind him that can play multiple positions. Can I give you perspective?

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Can an offensive lineman be thrown into the game to play D line? What? Can an offensive lineman in break glass scenario be placed in a position to play D line?

[Kyle Yeomans]

Sure.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Can a defensive lineman in break. Exactly, which is why you don't go into the game with the seven.

[Patrick Walker]

No, no, no, no, no, no.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Seven or eight, you'll be fine.

[Patrick Walker]

Eight.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Okay, now you're going up one.

[Kyle Yeomans]

But that's what I'm saying. Like you, you can maneuver.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

I tell you the dog on goal.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Post, make it tight. Make it tight end inactive. Make Brevin spam forward.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

And I'm about to tighten your hand.

[Kyle Yeomans]

That's what I'm saying. Like, either that or make Cloudy inactive.

[Patrick Walker]

Only two. Don't.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Don't hinder your entire. Don't hinder your entire organization. I like you by making one stupid mistake.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

I like you, Kyle.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Nah, you're. You're out of your mind.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

You're crazy.

[Kyle Yeomans]

You're trying to make a second round pick inactive on game day.

[Patrick Walker]

Yeah.

[Kyle Yeomans]

A rookie second round pick on active on game day.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

I had to make a decision this week. Yeah, I'm not saying for the rest of the season. I'm saying this week, if you're, you're. You're pinched on your offensive line depth, you're pinched on your secondary depth, you're. You're not stashing a bunch of linebackers on your active roster.

[Kyle Yeomans]

So why are you stashing edge rushers?

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Because they're not. You need pass rush. And if you're not getting one. But why are you. And if you're not getting one yet from your young bull, let him sit and watch.

[Patrick Walker]

I just want to introduce.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Let the boy watch.

[Patrick Walker]

I've been sitting here watching Josh this entire time and Josh is over here on his full joker arc.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yeah, I feel like I just broke.

[Patrick Walker]

The thumb with the pool. Right? He's like some people. Some people just like to watch the world burn. Yeah. He's had this smug with this whole time. Like, let's make this boy watch.

[Josh Rodriguez]

I broke the pool cube.

[Patrick Walker]

Jump in the chat. And where you make it? Who would you guys make it?

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Who would you sit?

[Patrick Walker]

Yeah, you're.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

You're not going.

[Patrick Walker]

I'm curious.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

You're not going into a way.

[Patrick Walker]

Jump in the chat.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

I mean.

[Patrick Walker]

Yeah, yeah.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Jump in the chat. Let us know maybe. See, I'll read them on here.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Maybe it's it.

[Patrick Walker]

No, Robert, I wouldn't. Only two tight ends. Robert is Robert. He's saying Ryan Floynois. I'm out on that because I want more reps for Flannoy.

[Kyle Yeomans]

See? But I want more reps for Donovan as Rocco.

[Patrick Walker]

It's the same conversation. Jump in the chat.

[Kyle Yeomans]

One of them's a seventh round wide receiver from two years. Second round edge rusher from this year.

[Patrick Walker]

Who would you make connected this week to get Jedeviano?

[Kyle Yeomans]

I would rather.

[Patrick Walker]

I don't know.

[Kyle Yeomans]

All right, go into news.

[Patrick Walker]

And now we're doing.

[Kyle Yeomans]

I'm fired up 11 minutes.

[Patrick Walker]

Hell yeah. We love it. Yeah.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Friday, baby.

[Patrick Walker]

Say it with your chest.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Fired up Friday, let's go.

[Patrick Walker]

You don't have no calls up because he's over there shaking. Oh, he's not done.

[Kyle Yeomans]

No, I'm looking.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

I wish your arm was long enough.

[Patrick Walker]

Listen, Josh just. Josh just ruined cows his segment run down.

[Josh Rodriguez]

I didn't mean that.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Josh did ruin it.

[Patrick Walker]

It's all run down. All right. So looking at the injury report from yesterday, which was Thursday, Cowboys did not see duron Bland participate in practice. That is expected. That is expected. That is expected. They are hoping that he can get back on the floor field against the green bay packers next week. Trayvon Diggs was back in as a full participant after missing Wednesday's practice with an illness. So he is full go. Good news. Tyler Guyton. Kyle posed the question yesterday, was there any concern there? I said no. That's bearing itself out. No pun intended. Duh, bears. Tyler guy was a full participant in Thursday's practice. And the best news of all. Kavante, Tasmanian turpin. Oh, that what it is is was a full participant in Thursday's practice. Watched him in the open portion media part of the practice. He had his helmet on. He was going through individual drills. And then as it turns out, once the media was kind of shooed away, he continued with his full participation. So. And then you. We talked to Kevante in the locker room on yesterday.

[Josh Rodriguez]

I'm playing.

[Patrick Walker]

Yeah. He said, I'm playing.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Basically at this point he was like.

[Patrick Walker]

At this point I'm playing. That's his Quote, at this point I'm playing. So of course, let's. Let's tether that to the fact that he still needs to be medically cleared to do so. However, all signs point to Kevonte Turpin not missing.

[Josh Rodriguez]

And actually a little more clarification on the. The injury itself. It happened in week one. I thought it was week two. And it wasn't necessarily the neck as much as it was the trap that had more kind of a stinger situation.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Stingers suck.

[Josh Rodriguez]

As opposed to being. Because we were talking yesterday about like if it was bone or if it was muscle. Muscle in the natural, not structural.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

So you're saying we should load up the turpy turpy speed Speed song.

[Kyle Yeomans]

No, I think we should load it up on Monday.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

We should load it up. No, no, I'm out.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Get it in the.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Possibly. Get it ready.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Get it in the chamber.

[Josh Rodriguez]

All the fans know what it is.

[Patrick Walker]

No, no, no. All the fans do not.

[Kyle Yeomans]

They don't know what the song is. Not yet.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

You don't know about that.

[Josh Rodriguez]

They don't know that song yet.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Name the five best rappers.

[Josh Rodriguez]

It's going to be under Spotify wrapped. He is here.

[Patrick Walker]

So. So deserving of an actual. An actual hot track. That ain't it.

[Kyle Yeomans]

You haven't.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

That's it.

[Kyle Yeomans]

You obviously haven't heard it yet, so.

[Patrick Walker]

I actually haven't heard it yet.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

I've heard. I've heard it.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yeah, yeah, you're just upset. You're just salty. By the way, just to go back to our original. I knew it.

[Patrick Walker]

I knew it.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Finally found the chaos grenade, Josh.

[Patrick Walker]

Chaos grenade.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yep. Josh did throw chaos. Dallas played with eight offensive linemen the last two weeks. They had. They had three guys inactive and they used Cornelius, Denny G and Keegan were all inactive last week. So they had three guys inactive.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Okay.

[Kyle Yeomans]

And they had Nate Thomas, TJ Bass and Brock Hoffman as your backup. Your reserves.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Did you have to use one of those guys?

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yeah, but that's what I'm saying. That clears a spot for an inactive. You don't even have to take somebody else because they, they're. They added Jadavian Clowney. You're fine with those offensive linemen. Eight offensive linemen.

[Josh Rodriguez]

You don't have to add the same.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Night, but now, yeah, you can keep it the same.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

But now you don't have eight. Now you have seven.

[Patrick Walker]

Right?

[Kyle Yeomans]

You have.

[Patrick Walker]

You can go less, but you can.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Go less than that.

[Patrick Walker]

You can go. Yeah, yeah.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

But nobody.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Are you talking about on the offensive line?

[Patrick Walker]

No, I mean, I was just Talking about inactives like this.

[Kyle Yeomans]

That's what I'm saying.

[Patrick Walker]

Yeah. That's what I'm saying. Yeah.

[Kyle Yeomans]

No, I'm not saying less than seven offensive linemen. I'm saying you have the same amount, number wise, both. One way or another.

[Josh Rodriguez]

And it would be the same. Inactive, you'll be fine.

[Patrick Walker]

Yeah, yeah.

[Kyle Yeomans]

It could be one way. Because instead of having Cornelius or Keegan inactive.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

See that?

[Patrick Walker]

World diplomacy, man.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yeah. Instead of having a denogy. Cornelius reaching across the table, shaking a hand, talking.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Never.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Kyle.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

I'm here to talk.

[Kyle Yeomans]

You're unbelievable. Am here to talk today. What is that? Black rifle.

[Patrick Walker]

Yeah. Dog.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

All right. Is Black Rifle. That's what our sponsor is. Why would I drink anything else?

[Kyle Yeomans]

Trying to make a point.

[Patrick Walker]

I warned you about the milligrams.

[Kyle Yeomans]

That's un.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Bring it in.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Cornelius, Adeni and Keegan were the inactives this week. Now, you don't have to take. You take one of those guys, you put them active and then there's an open spot.

[Patrick Walker]

You're fine.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

I'm going to a game.

[Patrick Walker]

Yeah.

[Josh Rodriguez]

There.

[Kyle Yeomans]

There will be eight.

[Patrick Walker]

Yeah. Bottom line, it was a fun conversation.

[Kyle Yeomans]

But it was an unnecessary.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Let the boy watch. In your opinion, Kyle?

[Kyle Yeomans]

In my opinion, absolutely.

[Patrick Walker]

It was an unnecessary one. And yet it was still fun.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yeah, it was fun.

[Patrick Walker]

Yeah, it was still fun.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Let the boy watch.

[Patrick Walker]

Back to the room.

[Kyle Yeomans]

You gotta stop interrupting yourselves. Oh, gosh.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

We'll be quiet.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Kyle, please run game.

[Patrick Walker]

We'll wait.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Go, Patrick.

[Patrick Walker]

Oh, yeah. Okay, so finishing up the the injury report, hopping over to the to die Bears portion of the injury report. We already know that Jalen Johnson, with his groin injury, Pro bowl cornerback. He's going to miss this game and outfit the forese future from with the Bears. Something else that stuck out here on their report is TJ Edwards, linebacker. He's one of their starting guys. Second day in a week, second day in a row he did not participate. Hamstring injury. So he's not trending in the right direction. And then their depth at linebacker is going to be affected if Edwards can't go. Because demarco Jackson, rotational linebacker, also a hamstring injury. He was downgraded from limited on a Wednesday to did not participate on Thursday. So yeah, Grady Jarrett, he did participate. He went From D&MP to limited. So he's trending toward playing.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Is worried about.

[Patrick Walker]

Yeah, but he's. He's kind of beat up. But yeah, you're talking about linebacker depth atop the linebacker chart for them and behind the top of the linebacker chart. Then of course their Pro bowl cornerback. He's not going to play either. So, yeah, they got some stuff going on over there as well.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Edmonds is still there, though.

[Patrick Walker]

He is. Yeah, he is.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

That's their heartbeat. I don't like that. I don't like Edmonds. I like him, but I don't like him.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Again, you don't like what you say.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Yeah, yeah, he's a good player.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

He's a really good player.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Is your defensive X factor going in?

[Patrick Walker]

Yes.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

For them?

[Patrick Walker]

Yes. Oh, we're so back in the rundown.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yeah, we are back in the rundown. When we come back, we're going to talk about an offensive and a defensive X factor for the Cowboys going into segment two. It's a say it with your chest Friday. As I, Isaiah has been saying it with his chest. Hitting my chest at the same time. When we come back with more hear from the star in Frisco.

Back to Talking Cowboys back here on Talking Cowboys. This segment is brought to you by Invisalign. The official smile of the Dallas Cowboys. And since it is a say it with your chest Friday. And Patrick wanted to hate on the turpy turpy speed song that is yet to be released. We're going to do some some on the fly. Producing courtesy of our man Chris Beam. Here is the new debut of our jingle for say it with youh Chest Friday. Oh, I like it.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Loud and clear.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Talking cowboys bring the gear Isaiah's fire.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Cow sharp spear no see Josh roaring.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Near from the top ropes down we.

[Nationwide Announcer]

Dive every snap keeps us up Play.

[Patrick Walker]

With your chest screaming out loud I like it I need some pyro it'll hit harder.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Oh, the pyro. Do we like that? Yeah, I like it.

[Patrick Walker]

I like it. Just slow the tempo down on it. Okay.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Good job, Beamer. AI is incredible trying. AI is wild, guys. This is wild. All right. Say it with your chest. Friday, as we go into some X factors for this weekend's matchup with the Chicago Bears. Josh, I'm gonna let you start here.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Thank you very much. Yeah, I haven't had a lot of leeway on this show. Lots of people talking over each other.

[Patrick Walker]

Man, had you not thrown the damn chaos grenade?

[Josh Rodriguez]

I don't know who that was. I don't know who did that. I was asking a simple question.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Josh is just over here, right?

[Josh Rodriguez]

Zach's gonna use ever the thumbnail. All right.

[Kyle Yeomans]

You got your X factor, right? Last week I did. I wanted to remind everybody, but I.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Was so close, man. I said 100 yards. He was at 97 yards.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Come on, you can round up.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

You lost.

[Josh Rodriguez]

This week. I am going with one Jacob Ferguson, a big biscuit out there. I need him to, let's say, five to eight catches. How's that? How's that sound?

[Patrick Walker]

Sounds good.

[Josh Rodriguez]

I just need them to clean up over the middle. Isaiah was alluding to earlier in the week, you want to get to the third level. You have opportunities for your wide receivers to get those deep crossers in there. For me, at least, I don't know that the office is going to provide deck that much time. So in turn, you have Jake Ferguson down the middle at the second level, able to catch at least five. At least five. I'm going more, maybe.

[Patrick Walker]

How many yards? Say it with your chest. Say it with your chest.

[Josh Rodriguez]

70 plus yards.

[Patrick Walker]

70 plus.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Is that.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Is that too conservative?

[Patrick Walker]

Yeah, because he did 70 plus last week.

[Josh Rodriguez]

85 plus yards for Jake Ferguson.

[Patrick Walker]

I need you to say 100 for Jake Ferguson.

[Josh Rodriguez]

100 yards.

[Patrick Walker]

Yes.

[Josh Rodriguez]

For one Jake Ferguson and his first touchdown of the year.

[Patrick Walker]

Oh, that much? I. Yes.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Now, that's bold.

[Josh Rodriguez]

I'm saying it with my chest.

[Patrick Walker]

I like, said it with his chest.

[Kyle Yeomans]

You know, it's. It's interesting how much we have not talked about Ferguson. We've mentioned him just kind of in passing.

[Josh Rodriguez]

And you don't want to take him for granted. This guy is. Is. Is excellent with Dak. His chemistry is unmatched with Dak Prescott, that seam throw. I think they're gonna get it down this week, man. I really, really do. And especially for a touchdown.

[Kyle Yeomans]

And 100 yards.

[Josh Rodriguez]

100 yards.

[Kyle Yeomans]

If he, like, breaks free for, like, a 60 yarder, in the first half, I'm gonna look across the bow and.

[Patrick Walker]

Just be like, josh, Coffee boy. What do you got?

[Kyle Yeomans]

Coffee boy?

[Isaiah Stanbach]

102 yards, two touchdowns.

[Kyle Yeomans]

102 yards.

[Patrick Walker]

Say it again.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Javante Williams. 102 yards, two touches.

[Patrick Walker]

I should have went first. You stole my guy.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Well, you wanted me to go first.

[Kyle Yeomans]

You're gonna do a Price is Right and do like 103 yards.

[Patrick Walker]

Yeah, I was gonna do Javonte Williams, but here he goes. He's all hopped up on Mountain Dew.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

What were you gonna say, though?

[Josh Rodriguez]

I was gonna say you guys are still young.

[Patrick Walker]

Say 100, but.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Oh, so I one up you.

[Patrick Walker]

But now you.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

How many touchdowns?

[Patrick Walker]

It did. How many did you just say?

[Kyle Yeomans]

Two.

[Patrick Walker]

I'm not going. Come on. Come on. George Pickens. George Pickens is my X factor. I think that.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Why is that?

[Patrick Walker]

Because I think he goes for his first hundred yard game with two tuddies. I was gonna say, oh, George Pickens. 110, two touchdowns. I think the Bears will be so locked in at trying to throw the kitchen sink at CD Lamb, by the time they realize that's a mistake, it's going to be too late.

[Josh Rodriguez]

I like that.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Go dogs it. I said it first.

[Josh Rodriguez]

He said it first.

[Patrick Walker]

You see?

[Kyle Yeomans]

Can't say it. Let's talk about stealing Josh's bit.

[Patrick Walker]

You did. You did.

[Kyle Yeomans]

I'm going to go with Brock Hoffman. Zero pressures allowed in the entire football game.

[Patrick Walker]

Zero.

[Kyle Yeomans]

And then I. And then Josh is going to be here wearing eye black on zero pressure. Not even a single hurry. Single hit. I love it. Nothing. Clinton sheet from Brock.

[Josh Rodriguez]

And he needs to be in one fight as well.

[Patrick Walker]

Well, one.

[Josh Rodriguez]

One skirmish. For that.

[Kyle Yeomans]

We'Ll look at the box score and it'll say penalty. It'll have one with a 15 next to it. Like personal foul penalty.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Punches thrown, four.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Like ejected. Maybe that's how he has zero pressures as he gets a chance. No, let's. Let's not do that.

[Josh Rodriguez]

But I need Chris Beam to find me some eye black.

[Patrick Walker]

Oh, we can find.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Go to the equipment room.

[Patrick Walker]

It's going to happen.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Oh, I can get you some eye block.

[Josh Rodriguez]

All right. Well, there you go.

[Kyle Yeomans]

There we go. And then in terms of a skill position, I'll just add one on here. I think Bravin Spam Ford catches his first touchdown pass.

[Patrick Walker]

Then you just try to make him an accurate.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yeah, I was trying. I was trying to make a point. But hey, I think he's going to have his first touchdown. Honestly, if we're talking about making a tight end inactive, I think There's a conversation that it wouldn't be Brevin Spam for.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Who would it be, Kyle?

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Say what? You chest.

[Kyle Yeomans]

It would probably be Luke Sku maker.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Probably.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

That one hurts.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yeah. I'm not the one making the decision.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

But if you were. Were.

[Kyle Yeomans]

But if I was.

[Patrick Walker]

Yeah. Okay.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yeah, I would.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Well, then add Jalen Tolbert.

[Patrick Walker]

I'm sorry.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

You're leading. Your leading touchdown returner.

[Josh Rodriguez]

I'm just.

[Patrick Walker]

That didn't sound like you said it with your chest. Sounded like you, you know, murmured it.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

I don't want.

[Josh Rodriguez]

No, I don't want to disrespect the guy. If it were up to me, it would probably be Jalen Tolbert and I would play Ryan Flanoy.

[Patrick Walker]

Okay.

[Josh Rodriguez]

But in that same.

[Kyle Yeomans]

You may have to play both of those guys anyways. You need box. I know. Especially with Turpin kind of being halfway.

[Patrick Walker]

Or needs more rips. Yeah. On offense. Period. Period. That's just how I feel about it.

[Josh Rodriguez]

But no. No disrespect. Definitely.

[Kyle Yeomans]

No, no. And nothing taken him.

[Patrick Walker]

He's.

[Kyle Yeomans]

It's. It's watching film.

[Josh Rodriguez]

It's watching.

[Patrick Walker]

Like what I said. Right. About Dante. Dante is more than capable. Okay. We've big up Dante time and time again two years ago when he was here and then coming off of that career season against the Commanders. But if you're having a slump, you're having a slump. Schoonmaker, he took strides last year in the absence of Jake Ferguson. Right, Right. But he's having a slump to start the season. Yeah. This is just objective, you know, so all these guys are capable. We've seen that.

[Josh Rodriguez]

And it's. It's more so. At least for me, it's more so. The potential of having Flournoy on the team, it's. It's. And having him active and those receptions going to him because I think he can give you more.

[Patrick Walker]

Lanoi is physical. Flannel is a great blocker. Flournoy is a downfield threat. Flournoy showed in the preseason.

[Josh Rodriguez]

There's more playmaking abilities with Ryan Flannoy.

[Patrick Walker]

And he gives you the special teams reps in addition to that. So I just want to see Flournoy. Coffee boy, what you got?

[Isaiah Stanbach]

I have a question. In the QB vision voice, who's your emotional leader? On defense.

[Patrick Walker]

On defense.

[Kyle Yeomans]

On defense.

[Patrick Walker]

OSA and Kenny. And solid.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Your emotional leader.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Solomon.

[Patrick Walker]

Thomas Solomon. Probably osa. Solomon and osa. Not in that order. OSA then Solomon. Yeah.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Oh, it's his captain, right?

[Patrick Walker]

Yeah.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Do you feel like there's a void There.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Yes.

[Patrick Walker]

Probably.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yeah.

[Patrick Walker]

Yeah. But you don't have a behind the line. Like. Yeah. At the second and third level in that capacity. Yes.

[Josh Rodriguez]

You don't have a full.

[Patrick Walker]

Your defensive front. Your defensive line has two emotions.

[Kyle Yeomans]

I know you too.

[Patrick Walker]

Maybe even three. Yeah. He's setting us up. He got.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Why did you ask that question?

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Just wondering if new additions have to step into new roles.

[Kyle Yeomans]

You're talking about he's going to be wearing 42.

[Patrick Walker]

He already is. I just.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

I mean, that's a genuine question.

[Patrick Walker]

Yeah. First practice out there, he was. He was coaching up Marshawn Neon Isaiah Land and some of the young guys.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

When you, when you step up, it's third down. Okay. Call it third and four. Right. You're in the red zone. Who are you looking at to make the play? Honestly? Who are you circling on Dallas's defense? Be like, oh, I'm all eyes on him. He's about to. He's about to make something happen for this team.

[Patrick Walker]

One of those interior guys, Kenny Clark, right?

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Saying that with your chest.

[Patrick Walker]

I am saying that with my chest.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Kenny Clark. Kenny Clark.

[Patrick Walker]

I'm saying Kenny Clark. And Mosa and Sally. I'm saying those three.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

So run or pass, they're going to make the play.

[Brian (Caller)]

Play.

[Patrick Walker]

Yeah. Cuz. Osa, Solly and Kenny both have the ability to.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

I. I hear you, but I'm saying which one of those guys are you? Like you're watching the game with your boys. You're like, oh, here you go. Watch him right there. He's about to do it.

[Patrick Walker]

I just told you. Okay. Those three guys.

[Josh Rodriguez]

And I'd argue one of your not vocal leaders, but one of your leaders is not playing. He's injured currently in Duron Bland.

[Patrick Walker]

I would also say to that point the linebackers have one that I would circle if he could get more reps on the field.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Okay.

[Patrick Walker]

Okay.

[Kyle Yeomans]

His name is Maris Lee.

[Patrick Walker]

His name is Maris Le. Okay.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

So if your entire defense was healthy, I'm ask you guys that question again. Wouldn't that be who's your emotional leader.

[Patrick Walker]

Dear on over show?

[Isaiah Stanbach]

So you don't see a problem with not being able to identify that clearly without him being un.

[Patrick Walker]

I think you can, but again, you won't give him the reps. His name is Maris Leopile. As far as the linebackers backward is concerned. So I'm with you. I'm with you.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

I. I asked that question because in certain scenarios, and it's the NFL, there's going to be those scenarios.

[Kyle Yeomans]

They'll pop up.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

You don't want an Entire defense or entire side of the ball to be looking around trying to figure out who's going to make the play.

[Patrick Walker]

I agree. I agree. At least.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

I wonder how much of that this. This decision to bring on Jadavian played a role in that decision.

[Patrick Walker]

Well, I'm sure it did. I'm sure it did.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Not just his playmaking ability. I think there's a mentality factor that is experienced there.

[Josh Rodriguez]

He's a dog. He's a. He's a leader for sure.

[Patrick Walker]

Very vocal. Yeah, I get it. Because if you're looking at a line in a situation where it's Jadevion and Kenny and OSA and.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

And.

[Patrick Walker]

Or Solly, I like that. I like that a lot.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Couple things that you can look at, too, is the pressure rate from Solomon Thomas. It's really impressive what he's been doing. So I know, like, he's only been here for a year. I know he's only been here for the off season, but the impact that he made in the off season and then the gameplay through the first two so far, he would constitute, out of that entire back 11 on the defensive side to be a vocal leader if he wanted to be.

[Josh Rodriguez]

That drive.

[Kyle Yeomans]

He set himself up for that type of thing.

[Patrick Walker]

Solly looked in the camera, some sounds from the sideline, and he said, stop. Stop effing playing with me. Vocal leader.

[Josh Rodriguez]

That drive alone after the Jack Prescott interception.

[Patrick Walker]

Yeah.

[Josh Rodriguez]

That drive alone is worth acquiring him in the off season. Yeah, just that right there. If he can replicate that at any level going forward, you got a guy, and he's a rotational guy at that. And we had been referencing that as soon as we got him. It wasn't that this guy's going to change the defensive line, but it's moments like that. If he's able to replicate that again and again and again throughout the season, it's worth the effort. It's worth acquiring him for sure.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Your X factor?

[Josh Rodriguez]

No, who's your X factor? Sam Williams. Okay, I need. And we've talked about it all week. Kayla Williams cannot escape the pocket. You cannot let him outside the pocket. You need to keep him right there. And a big part of that is what Sam William does in pushing that tackle into the pocket, creating havoc. Havoc for Caleb Williams. I need to see more of that. I need to see him get home. Give me two sacks. Oh, two sex for Sam Williams.

[Kyle Yeomans]

That'd be sweet.

[Patrick Walker]

I'm. Let's just keep it. Let's just keep it to what it is. I'm going to Davion Clowney.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Here.

[Patrick Walker]

Oh, I'm going to Davion Clowney. I'm going to Davion Clowney here. I think Jadevion Clowney, number one, not only is he in football shape and he's anxious and starved to get some action and get his hands on the opposing passer. I think he also wants to show everybody who keeps saying he's 32 years old and watched and have not looked at one one instance of his film over the past couple of seasons, unlike talking Cowboys, because all of us watch film and stats. And stats. So I think Jadevion Clowney impacts this game. I think he gets his first sack in a Cowboys uniform, effective this weekend against dah Bears.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Whoa. Hello.

[Patrick Walker]

Hi there. You're there. You're there. Yeah, I can't hear it.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

I'm gonna go with Maris. Oh, I think if there's.

[Kyle Yeomans]

That would be a pleasant sight.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

I think there's ever a week to. Yeah, no, no, no, no, no, no. I think if there was ever a week. Oh, there you go. I'm back. Ever a week to have somebody keep an eye on a quarterback. This is the week.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Yes, I agree.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Because Caleb Williams, based on this film, if he gets to his second read, he's looking to escape.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Get now.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

So if he wants to escape. So you have somebody that can run him down. Maris is that guy.

[Patrick Walker]

Unleash the Marist unleashed on Marish.

[Josh Rodriguez]

You don't think Sanborn's gonna have a revenge game in Chicago?

[Patrick Walker]

Unleash the mirror. Listen.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

No, I'll just leave it at that.

[Patrick Walker]

Caleb is highly mobile.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Yes, he is, very much so.

[Patrick Walker]

Marist is your most athletic line. Yeah, that answers the question right then, by far.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Gotta use him. I'm gonna say Kaire Elam on the outside.

[Patrick Walker]

Oh, he's pissed off.

[Kyle Yeomans]

He is not. Had a great start. Yeah, he's. He's had a little bit of animosity toward his start.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

And why would he have an animosity towards the start?

[Kyle Yeomans]

Hasn't played well.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Hasn't been great.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yeah, hasn't played very well.

[Patrick Walker]

He's hearing all the chatter.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yep.

[Josh Rodriguez]

And that's a guy that was the star of the off season, in my opinion.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Yeah. What are they saying? That he's giving up the most yards?

[Patrick Walker]

It's because they. They keep qu. He's given up over 200 yards. So his IG post was like, you know, it referenced that and he was like, see you Sunday. Okay. And we will.

[Kyle Yeomans]

And I think one thing that they don't hurt, the one thing that he has had to face he's had to face two veteran wideouts in the Philadelphia Eagles. Week one, he's got an elite wideout and Malik neighbors. In Week two, he had to go up against a little bit. Not as much as Trayvon Diggs, but still went up against Malik neighbors a little bit.

[Nationwide Announcer]

Bit.

[Kyle Yeomans]

I like Room Adun. I like DJ Moore. They're both very savvy receivers, but I don't think they're on the same level as those three guys.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Okay.

[Kyle Yeomans]

And with that being said, I think it's a chance for a bounceback game. I think Kyrie Elam has a pick in this game. We start to see a little bit of that sprinkle of what we saw from him throughout the off season and throughout the preseason.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

So I like to make mention of something. Quick story, make your mention.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Quick story.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Kyre Elam, he's feeling some type of way about comments being made about him.

[Patrick Walker]

Yeah.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Trayvon Diggs is feeling some type of way. He's engaged in some online banter about people getting on him about his coverage skills.

[Patrick Walker]

Yeah.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Last night at soccer practice, my son had a little bit of an emotional. He's more emotional than I am. Okay. So he had a little bit of emotional meltdown during practice because he had made some mistakes and his new teammates called him out.

[Patrick Walker]

Wow. Right.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

And he. He didn't handle that well.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Remind the fans how old your son is.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

He's 11.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Okay.

[Patrick Walker]

And.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

And again, I'm. I'm not the most empathetic person in the world, so I had to take a wooa and then figure out the best way to. To meet him, where he's at.

[Patrick Walker]

Right.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Cuz I can't. I can't address him the same way my mom or, you know, would address me. So I have that struggle. Yeah, me too. So we get in the car and I ask him, I said, what are you mad about? And he tells me the, the scenario. I said, so are you mad that they called you out? Are you mad because what they were saying was true?

[Patrick Walker]

True. Ice cold.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Because if they were saying those things about you real and they weren't true, would it bother you? He was like, no. I said, then change it.

[Patrick Walker]

Yeah, then change it. Don't talk.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Don't say nothing. Go put the work in and fix it. You don't like the results, fix the results. You're in control of it.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Focus on the right thing.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Focus on the right thing. So Trayvon Diggs, stop talking. Kyre Elam, stop talking. Go put the results on film and shut everybody up.

[Patrick Walker]

Yep. I like it with his chest.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

It's Friday, right?

[Patrick Walker]

It was Sid Friday.

[Kyle Yeomans]

I like it.

[Patrick Walker]

Yeah. Okay.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Set it with a chest.

[Patrick Walker]

Make sure it's right.

[Kyle Yeomans]

So you're thinking. You're thinking Kyrie Elam's a similar scenario.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

I'm saying don't talk. Just go do it.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Just get after it.

[Patrick Walker]

Do this. And get off ig.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Yeah, get off of ig. Get off socially.

[Kyle Yeomans]

I'm hoping that's the case.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

I'm hoping so, too. These are grown men.

[Patrick Walker]

Yeah.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Like, stop talking. Talking to people.

[Kyle Yeomans]

I like it.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Like, what is talking and arguing about things that are true.

[Josh Rodriguez]

It's one thing to talk. It's one thing to argue people.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

You're arguing about facts that are. It's true. You're getting routed up Trayvon Diggs. You're not what you were, and that's okay. But just identify the fact that you not you are not back to who you were yet.

[Patrick Walker]

Get there.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Don't talk about it. Just go play. It's true. It's on film. You don't like it.

[Patrick Walker]

I get it.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

It change the result.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Back.

[Kyle Yeomans]

To talking Cowboys.

[Patrick Walker]

Foreign.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Back here on Talking Cowboys, it is time for a Pick Them segment going into week three of the NFL season. Chris Beam in the back. Yes, sir. Doing a great job. Is it time for a Beamer bulletin? It is.

[Josh Rodriguez]

He doesn't have a song for that one.

[Kyle Yeomans]

There will be a song for this.

[Patrick Walker]

Don't worry about that. Dropping. Okay.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yeah, give me some ideas.

[Patrick Walker]

Fumbled Beamer.

[Kyle Yeomans]

All right, so we've got a tie for first place.

[Patrick Walker]

Oh, I did not have a great week. So it ain't me.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Well, I didn't even look the guy.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Who'S a dog is a puppy this week.

[Patrick Walker]

Yeah.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Patrick went two and four. Oh my gosh. But the top two guys are one. Josh Rodriguez five and one. Last week he was a Houston win from going perfect.

[Patrick Walker]

Wow.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Okay, Texans. And the other one was Isaiah Standing. He bet on the Denver Broncos and they got beat by Indianapolis.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Yeah, saw that one coming. Yeah, except for me. 5 and 1 Indiana Jones and then.

[Kyle Yeomans]

The fans went 4 and 2 and.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Kyle Yeomans went 3 and 3.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yeah, it was an even back to you, Kyle. Thanks, Beamer. I love Beamer's bulletins. All right, when we do this pick Them segment, just since it's week three, I want to remind everybody we pick five games and then we pick the Cowboys and we make it a big deal to pick the score on the Cowboys game only. So no score needed. We've got Brian in Colorado on the line right now. What's up, B man? How's it going out there in the Mile High?

[Brian (Caller)]

Great, great morning. Just driving to work. I flew out to the game on Sunday. What a great game to go to. And this is my third year in a row getting on with you guys. So thanks so much for having the fans on and having fun.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Thank you for calling. Thank you for being a loyal listener. And are there mountains in your on your horizon as you're driving to work?

[Brian (Caller)]

Absolutely. Always on the west.

[Kyle Yeomans]

I love it. All right, we've got some good games to pick this week. We're going to start things off with a game that I think think could be a wild one because it's two backup quarterbacks. I'm going to put backup for the Vikings in quotations with. With JJ McCarthy being out because of injury. But it's the Bengals hosting or. Excuse me, the Bengals on the road against the Vikings in week three. Josh dramas. We'll let you start.

[Josh Rodriguez]

I'm going with the Vikings of Minnesota to take down the Joe Burrow Bengals.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

All right, Isaiah, I don't want to go against my UW associate, AKA Jake Browning. Browning. But I.

[Patrick Walker]

But you will.

[Kyle Yeomans]

But you're going to.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

I just think that Brian Suarez is going to go ham in this game, so. Dang it, man.

[Josh Rodriguez]

This is a tough one. This is a good, good.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

I'm not going against Jake Browning. I'm staying with the Bengals. The Bengals not saying that with my. My chest. I'm saying heart. I'm going with the bangle.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Your heart's in your chest counts slightly. I also think it's interesting because both of these guys, these teams have LSU superstar wide receivers that love to gritty when they score a touchdown. Justin Jefferson, Jamar Chase, and they're both without their quarterback.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

This is a gritty off.

[Kyle Yeomans]

It is a gritty off. I guess it could be. All right, Brian, what you got for off the grid?

[Brian (Caller)]

I have. I have no faith in Carson Wentz whatsoever, but I agree with Isaiah. I think Brian Florence will be the best. Best coach on the field. Jordan Mason's gonna go off. Give me the Vikings at home.

[Kyle Yeomans]

I think there's a lot of confidence here with the Vikings.

[Patrick Walker]

I haven't picked.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

I picked the Bing.

[Kyle Yeomans]

I know you picked the Bengals, but you picked them with your heart.

[Patrick Walker]

I did.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Or who are you picking?

[Patrick Walker]

I haven't picked yet.

[Kyle Yeomans]

So who are you picking?

[Patrick Walker]

The Vikings.

[Kyle Yeomans]

I'm gonna be different. I'm gonna pick the Bengals. I'm. I'm gonna see. I'm gonna say, well, yeah, because you.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Got to make up some. Some scores by two games. All right. He's a couple games back. All right. It's only week two and he's already back.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Dude. Yeah. You know. All right. Steelers at Patriots. This would have been a banger matchup in 2008. It's not in 2025. What you got, Pat?

[Patrick Walker]

You know what? I'm taking the Steelers to bounce back from that week law. That week two loss. Patriots did piss me off by taking it against the Dolphins, which kind of put me in this hole I'm in. I need to Steelers to punch him in the face. So I'm taking Steelers.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Okay, Josh going with the Steelers. I just don't think the Patriots have enough firepower right now to compete with that one guy that Plays quarterback.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yeah, I'm kind of there too. He looked pretty solid the first couple.

[Josh Rodriguez]

First week.

[Kyle Yeomans]

First week. Last week was a little. But I think he'll get back to it.

[Josh Rodriguez]

And I still think he played well last week, but it was on part of his receivers not understanding football turnovers in that game. Yeah, that was. That was not great. Let me go with Steelers though.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yep.

[Josh Rodriguez]

They.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

The Patriots have not found a way to get the ball to their high dollar receiver digs.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yep.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

And I think that Aaron Rodgers beats up on Mike Vrabel. So I'm going with the Steelers.

[Patrick Walker]

Yeah.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Pittsburgh. Brian.

[Brian (Caller)]

Yeah. Steelers. Easy pick for me.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Easy pick across the board.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

I get digs the ball well, I.

[Patrick Walker]

Mean, he got tied up. Bodak yellow.

[Kyle Yeomans]

He's got a little bit going on. Texans at Chad. Texans let you down last week and.

[Josh Rodriguez]

I hate that man, because I said it last week. I love Baker Mayfeld. He's so hot right now. But I'm saying you don't remember that from last year.

[Kyle Yeomans]

I do remember.

[Josh Rodriguez]

He is. He is. Simply put, there's nothing wrong with that either. There's nothing wrong with that either. But what I'm saying is whatever I pick the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to do, they do the exact opposite. And that is frustrating. But there's no way the Houston Texans go Owen three. I'm going Texans.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Okay.

[Patrick Walker]

Yeah. You know, I would always be hard pressed to put my money on the Jaguars no matter what season it is, no matter who. Yeah, I'm going. I'm going Texans to take it in. Jacksonville.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Can we say that Sounder one more time? Beamer, can you. Can you fire that up for me?

[Patrick Walker]

Oh, you gotta. If you say that, you gotta follow.

[Kyle Yeomans]

It up with the neck.

[Patrick Walker]

Oh, brother.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Guys, I'm take the Jags. I'm gonna tell you, they're. They're desperate. They need to win big time. I know the Texans are coming off a loss too, but.

[Patrick Walker]

Right.

[Kyle Yeomans]

I don't think the Jags are that bad of a team. I really don't. I think they've got some pieces, they've got some talent. I don't know if they're better than the Texans, but I think they'll be better at home in this one. It's gonna be a tight one, but give me the jack.

[Patrick Walker]

Was gonna have those guys ready. Yeah.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Dimiko's gonna have those guys fired up. But something about it tells me that the Jags are. Or they're figuring it out.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yeah, they really are.

[Josh Rodriguez]

So you think Houston's going 03?

[Isaiah Stanbach]

I do.

[Kyle Yeomans]

That's Tight. All right, this one's for you. Or, oh, wait, we got to get Brian's pick for that last one. Brian.

[Brian (Caller)]

Yeah. I can never bet on Trevor Lawrence.

[Patrick Walker]

I don't think you feel me, Brian.

[Kyle Yeomans]

All right, we're going to turn it right back around for you, Brian, because this is the Broncos at the chargers in week three. What you got on that one?

[Brian (Caller)]

I'm literally on i25, right next to the Broncos stadium. But the Chargers are right now a better team. Give me the Chargers and Jim Harbaugh.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Isaiah almost got us in a car wreck right there when we were. When we were there a couple years ago. Oh, yeah, that's another story for another time, Coffee boy.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

I don't remember that one.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yeah, I'll jog your memory.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Neuralized.

[Kyle Yeomans]

That's an off the record conversation. All right, I'm gonna take. Ooh, Justin Herbert's been playing some good ball. Quentin Johnston's been playing well. Jim Harbaugh has those guys rocking. Give me the Chargers to win this one. Tight game. I think this is one of the better games of the week. Say Chargers are strong.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Not going against them, Patrick, for all.

[Patrick Walker]

The reasons that Kyle said. And I'll even throw in a high level performing Derwin James. Yeah, I'm taking the charges, Joshua.

[Josh Rodriguez]

I'll take the Broncos.

[Kyle Yeomans]

You think you're gonna pick up a.

[Patrick Walker]

Game because he's got room to spare? He's got.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

He can risk the.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Risk it for the Biscuit.

[Patrick Walker]

All right, the big Biscuit.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Lions at Ravens. I like this matchup a lot. This is really fun. Lions at Raven.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Game of the week.

[Patrick Walker]

Week.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yeah, this is a good one.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Josh material right there. I. Man, the Lions, they. I'm worried that they scold. Scored all of their points last week against the Bears. Against the Bears, and it's not going to happen for them against the Baltimore Ravens. Let me go with Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens.

[Kyle Yeomans]

All right.

[Patrick Walker]

Ravens at home. Yeah, unless you're, you know, the Kansas City Chiefs. I'm not taking you against the Ravens at home. I'm. I'm going Ravens on this one.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Give me Baltimore to win this one.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Isaiah likely.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Oh, Baltimore.

[Patrick Walker]

So Baltimore.

[Kyle Yeomans]

He's not playing, though, is he?

[Isaiah Stanbach]

He hasn't been hurt.

[Patrick Walker]

So is Isaiah unlikely?

[Isaiah Stanbach]

No, he's. I think he's likely.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Isaiah unlike. Oh, Brian, you good?

[Brian (Caller)]

Oh, yeah, yeah, I'm.

[Patrick Walker]

I'm good.

[Brian (Caller)]

I give. Give me the home team. Give me the Ravens.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

All right, we're gonna.

[Kyle Yeomans]

We're gonna make that. I don't know what that was. All Right, Brian. Cowboys at the Bears. Give us the score and give us your winner. Oh.

[Brian (Caller)]

Cowboys 34, 20. Rain Dakota Prescott to pickin and city lamb all day, baby.

[Kyle Yeomans]

I love it.

[Brian (Caller)]

30, 34, 20.

[Kyle Yeomans]

3420. The final score. Brian, thank you so much for calling. Be safe out there driving. We'll talk to you again down the line.

[Brian (Caller)]

Thanks, guys. Enjoy the weekend.

[Kyle Yeomans]

All right, there he goes. Brian in Colorado.

[Patrick Walker]

Brian had a monster snuck into his car.

[Kyle Yeomans]

That was not in this studio. That was in his car. I don't know what that. I felt bad because I was like, I don't want to. He immediately was like, yeah, I'm good. Sounds good.

[Patrick Walker]

Just making sure you're all right.

[Josh Rodriguez]

I'm good. I'm great.

[Patrick Walker]

Great.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Yep.

[Patrick Walker]

Cowboys just that early morning chorus light. That's all.

[Josh Rodriguez]

What happened to you, dude? Sound like you were possessed.

[Patrick Walker]

That Miller light in his Froot Loops.

[Josh Rodriguez]

He's driving. He's driving with large Marge, dude.

[Patrick Walker]

All right.

[Kyle Yeomans]

God, we love you, Brian.

[Josh Rodriguez]

All right, shout out to Brian.

[Patrick Walker]

I love our Patrick.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Give us a start.

[Patrick Walker]

Come on, man. Kind of hard to follow up with Brian. I'm gonna keep it short. I'm taking Cowboys in this. I think the Bears are going to get overpowered. I think the emotional component from both sides of the ball is a wash. And I think Javante Williams in this rushing attack has their way setting up CD Lamb pickens. Jake Dak do their thing. So I'm taking the the Cowboys for another 40 burger. I was correct last week with my 40 burger. I think they dropped another 40.

[Kyle Yeomans]

You just want more water burger.

[Patrick Walker]

I do, but I also do thing. Both things are true. But also on the flipping to the defensive side of the ball, I think it takes them a moment to figure out how to keep Caleb Williams in the pocket. Maybe an entire first half. Jalen hurts. So I think the Bears do score some points. I'm going 40. 27 cowboys.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Okay.

[Brian (Caller)]

Whoa.

[Kyle Yeomans]

4027 Isaiah.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Wow. 3117 cowboys.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Okay.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Very close to my squad.

[Kyle Yeomans]

I was close in this one, too.

[Josh Rodriguez]

I'm going to pull a heck my Harrison and say Cowboys nation. I hope your team wins because it is going to be Cowboys 31, Bears 20.

[Patrick Walker]

Wow. Okay.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Okay. So Price is right. This is really funny. I. I went back and forth between like 31 and 21 the whole way and. And that would split both of you, like right down the middle. I'll say 31, 21 first time. But you know why? Beamer, I'm going to need you to help me out here a little bit. Do the Cowboys have an advantage at the quarterback position? Do they have an advantage at the wide receiver position? Do they have an advantage of the offensive line? What about the front seven? What about the defense as a whole? I don't know about that one yet, but we're getting. Cowboys are going to get the dub this week. Do you think they win it by multiple scores?

[Patrick Walker]

There we go.

[Kyle Yeomans]

3121. Cowboys get it done going into week three and they're going to go into a week four match up at two and one.

[Patrick Walker]

That was fire.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Thank you very much. I appreciate it. Of course, for those that don't know that's from the locker room celebration. Yeah, yeah.

[Patrick Walker]

Night in there.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

La Knight's amazing.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yeah. We'll make it happen.

[Patrick Walker]

We got him.

[Kyle Yeomans]

All right, that does it for us. We want to say it with your chest Friday.

[Nationwide Announcer]

Yeah.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Beamer thinks you're gonna win, right?

[Patrick Walker]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

No.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Sea Walker, Josh, Isaiah. Stand back, crispy. And that I'm Kyle Ymans saying. So long from talking Cowboys.

[Patrick Walker]

We'll see you next week. Yeah.

[Kyle Yeomans]

This has been a production of Dallas Cowboys.com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.

[Patrick Walker]

How about this? Cowboys.
