Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Setting the Stage for Week 8: Cowboys at Broncos

• Season context: Cowboys are 3-3-1, seeking their first back-to-back wins under OC Brian Schottenheimer.
• Denver preview: Emphasis on the challenge of playing in the Mile High City; CBS' “A-team” (Jim Nantz, Tony Romo, Tracy Wolfson) on the broadcast.

2. Denver’s Potential Offensive Approach vs. Cowboys’ Defense

Prompt from Patrick Walker (03:50):
“If you were Sean Payton…how would you attack this defense?”

• Consensus: Run at them, force Dallas’ linebackers to make tackles in space – an area of concern all season.
  • Josh Rodriguez (04:21): “J.K. Dobbins. Run game. Just as often as you possibly can, make the linebackers tackle you in space. Because they haven’t proven they can do that very well.”
  • Isaiah Stanback: Emphasizes the value of playmakers in open space, especially exploiting Dallas’ man coverage tendencies.

3. Cowboys' Defensive Adjustments

• Following a heavy man-coverage approach in Week 7’s win, expectation is Matt Eberflus will employ similar aggressiveness against Denver.
• Discussion around Denver’s ability to capitalize, especially with weapons like Courtland Sutton and JK Dobbins set to challenge Dallas’ secondary and linebackers.

4. Crucial News & Injury Updates (06:03–14:43)

• Trayvon Diggs: Likely OUT due to concussion; confirmed by Brian Schottenheimer on local radio (07:12).
• Donovan Wilson: DNP with elbow/shoulder injury; could be a game-time decision, creating a need for depth at safety.
• Cooper Beebe: Trending towards playing post-bye; slim chance of a return this week.
• Overshown & Revil: Unlikely to return before the bye; both looking explosive in practice but not game-ready, particularly struggling with deceleration and trusting recovered knees.
  • Isaiah Stanback (09:43): “Overshone, to his credit, went on Twitter and he was like, ‘It’s an accessory [the knee brace], not a necessity.’”
• Tyler Guyton: Added to injury report with sore glute; panel riffs on the “one cheek/half-assed effort” jokes.

Memorable Banter Section: Sore Glute Injury

• Patrick Walker (14:16): “Makes a sword glued out of you and me.”
• Kyle Yeomans (14:20): “We have half-assed answers right now.”

5. Denver’s Health/Availability

• Only two players (Jonah Ellis, Mike McGlinchey) on the report, but both full participants. “They’re mostly healthy.”
• Suspended: Jerry Greenlaw – a “massive” loss and a key to the Denver defense.

6. Cowboys Defensive Stats: Reality Check

KY’s Stat of the Week (20:47–23:11):

• Cowboys allowing 29.4 points per game (30th in NFL); Only one playoff team ever (2000 Rams “Greatest Show on Turf”) allowed 28+ ppg and made the postseason.
  • Kyle Yeomans (21:06): “There you go. The 2000 Rams are the only team to allow 28 points per game and make the playoffs, period.”
• Cowboys are also one of three teams in history to score 40+ in their first three home games, joining the ’73 Cowboys and 2000 Rams.

7. College Football Minute (23:17–25:41)

• Georgia: Coming off big win v. Ole Miss; bye week upcoming.
• Washington: Facing Illinois, trying to steady the ship after losses; panel jokes about “the S” in Illinois ("take that ass off").
• North Texas: Expected to handle Charlotte this week after big Homecoming win.

8. "Get Your Popcorn Ready": Bold Predictions Movie Game

Josh Rodriguez’s Cinematic Predictions (25:48–32:11)

• Movie #1: “Schottenheimer Oppenheimer” – Cowboys offense explodes for “425+ yards” (team averages 390/game).
• Movie #2: “The Hateful Eight Man Box” – Dallas held to under 75 rushing yards by a stacked Denver box.
• Movie #3: “Candyman (Eberflus Man)” – Dallas defensive man coverage jumps over 50% of snaps.
  • Patrick Walker (28:31): “I want to buy a ticket to the Eberflus… Candy man… because I believe Dallas is going to have to play over 50 man coverage if they even want to compete in this game.”
  • Isaiah Stanback (29:05): “You know what? I’ll buy that ticket… I think the Cowboys offense has a slight edge against the Broncos defense.”

9. Picks & Predictions Segment (38:48–49:28)

• Leaderboards & Banter: Josh Rodriguez leads after a “5-1” week; panel jokes about their picks and ChatGPT’s simulated record.
• Key Game Picks:
  • Bears at Ravens: Panel mostly leans Ravens (“Think Derrick Henry gets back on track…”).
  • Browns at Patriots: Unanimous for Patriots.
  • Buccaneers at Saints: Unanimous for Bucs (“Baker Mayfield rebounds.”).
  • Niners at Texans: Mixed; some predict a Texas upset at home.
  • Packers at Steelers: Most pick Packers despite concerns.
• Cowboys at Broncos:
  • Isaiah Stanback (46:38): “I have faith in aspects of our team… I’m going with Broncos. 31–17.”
  • Josh Rodriguez (47:02): “As much as my heart is telling me to pick the Dallas Cowboys… I’m picking the damn Cowboys yet again. 27–23 Dallas.”
  • Patrick Walker (48:05): “I’m telling the Broncos they better get their glutes ready… 33 Denver, 25.”
  • Kyle Yeomans (49:10): “I’m picking Denver and it’s going to be 31–21. Denver wins it. … I love it when the Cowboys prove me wrong. And they’re going to have to do it again this week.”

The episode was lighthearted, slightly irreverent, and loaded with the signature chemistry of the Talkin’ Cowboys crew—balancing seriousness about the Cowboys’ challenges with plenty of laughs, puns, and optimism about individual player potential (notably, belief in running back Javonte).

Summary Takeaways

• Panel is split on outcome: Some hold faith in Dallas; others are picking Denver but invite the Cowboys to “prove ‘em wrong.”
• “We believe in Javonte” is a rallying cry: The running back is seen as a potential X-factor.

Oh, man.

[Kyle Yeomans]

And we've already outlined the challenges, especially the defense that Denver brings, what the Dallas defense needs to do, and of course, how they kind of match up together. We'll make our picks in the third segment. Second segment today we've got get your popcorn ready with Josh Rodriguez.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

It's time, nums.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Ooh, I can't wait. Yes.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

I have a question. What's that for my. For my. My brothers and my family.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yeah.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

If you were Sean Payton.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yeah.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

And you saw the film from last week from the defense of the Dallas Cowboys, Matt E's change up, AKA curveball, how would you attack this defense?

[Kyle Yeomans]

Okay.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

I would dare him to do it again.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

If you expected them to play, man. If you expect Dallas to play, man, like they did last week and had successful, how would you attack Dallas's defense? With this new look.

[Josh Rodriguez]

J.K. dobbins run game. Run game. Just as often as you possibly can, make the linebackers tackle you in space. Because they haven't proven they can do.

[Kyle Yeomans]

That very well in space.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

Would that be your same approach except.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

For Shamar in space?

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

Shamark and Jamal? No more just James.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

See what you did there? That guy's young and restless. Yes, it is.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

Yeah.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Yeah, I agree with Jess. I mean, you run at it and you get JK out in space and you, you know, screen, screen, screen. Yeah. See if those linebackers can crash down and make tackles.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Get your playmakers out in open space. That's all you need to do.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

Okay. Why?

[Kyle Yeomans]

I was not paying attention. It's okay.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

I was asking if you're Sean Payton going against Matt Eberfluous based upon the film that you saw last week, what will be your approach offensively? How would you attack this Matt Eber flu. New Matt Eber flu defense.

[Kyle Yeomans]

It depends on if they're run, running man or zone.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

You're anticipating, man.

[Kyle Yeomans]

You're anticipating, man, this week because that's what the Giants did for three quarters. Didn't work out in the fourth quarter.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

No, no, no, no. Sean Payton.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Oh, I know. I'm saying.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Yeah.

[Kyle Yeomans]

I'm saying as the Denver office you.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

Saw for three quarters work against you.

[Kyle Yeomans]

So you're going to anticipate that.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

And Eber Fl ran it all last.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Week, which is fair.

[Announcer/Ad Voice]

Man.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

I don't really man, that's the answer.

[Kyle Yeomans]

I gotta run the damn ball. Try and establish RTB scrimmage. Yeah, get. Get J.K. dobbins rolling a little bit. That's how I would do it. Because, I mean, Cortland Sutton is going to eat at some point in this game. So he's going to eat. I think what corner is going to slow him down. Duron Bland is probably your best option and he's probably going to be playing in the nickel.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

Maybe that should take us to news and notes. Is Jerome Bland the best option?

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Yeah.

[Kyle Yeomans]

You were hoping somebody was back.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Yeah, no, as a matter of fact, he is the best.

[Kyle Yeomans]

He's probably your best option. He's playing inside.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Great segue. Write the news and notes. I mean, sat here right on this at this table talking cowboys a couple days ago said I had some, you know, quick words with. With Trayvon Diggs. Just kind of checking in, see how he was doing in the locker room earlier this week. And I said he did not look great. And I said that there was a chance he would not play in this game. Brian Schottenheimer on 1053 the Fan this morning. All but rude. Trayvon Diggs out of this game. We'll see what the injury report says. But yeah, I think you can go ahead and draw a strike through line right through Tron Diggs with that concussion. Don't do nothing like that. Donovan Wilson did not participate in practice on Thursday. That's the second time this week he's dealing with the elbow and shoulder injury. So we'll see if, I mean, he went last week with the issues. We'll see if, if he can go again this week with the issues. If not, then you're looking at, of course, Malik Hook still on injured reserve. Hopefully one year Thomas can be back on the field. He is trending toward being back on the field. We'll see if that's the case.

[Kyle Yeomans]

But kind of need him.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Yeah, kind of need him on the field. Especially. Especially if Donovan can't go because then you'd be looking at Marquis Bell. That's definitely going to get the burn like he did last week. Elijah Clark, he's going to get some run as well. But then you'll probably see someone come up from the pregnant squad. We'll see how that goes. Cooper BB Limited again, he's working his way back as is Dear Nova shown as is Savone Revel. All those guys working their way back in their practice windows from injured reserve.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

Question, question on those three gentlemen. Yeah, that you just Mentioned BB Rebel.

[Kyle Yeomans]

And over.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

Your outlook on them, do you foresee them realistically coming back before or after the buy?

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Yes, to bb. Before the buy is my gut instinct.

[Kyle Yeomans]

I bet you BB plays next week.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Go bb.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

I would agree with the money. Give me the bb.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

There's. There's at least a slight chance he plays this week, but we'll see. And I say slight, so let that air out your chest.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

I was trying to get as much air as possible. Yeah, exactly.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

I say slight. It's not impossible that BB could play this week, but more. More likely next week.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Kind of what we saw with Tyler Smith earlier in the year where he.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Was active, but emergency.

[Kyle Yeomans]

But emergency only sort of situation.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Quite possibly.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Maybe that's what they think about.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Quite possibly. I would say it's as close to impossible as you could get for both Revel and Overshone to take the field before the bye week.

[Kyle Yeomans]

They look good, though.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

They. Yeah, they're moving, running around out there. They're moving very well. Yesterday in the open portion of practice, we saw a couple chase drills with Overshone First Overshone was the one being pursued and Maris was the one pursuing. And man, that Top Gear on Overshone. Oh, yeah, that's with the brace. With the brace. Provocative, gets the people going faster than Leop. Well, I, I wouldn't say that.

[Kyle Yeomans]

I would say kept up with.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Yeah, I will say, because keep in mind, it's pursu. So, you know, over shown starts off their face, right. So advantage to the one being pursued. So that's why I, I had to qualify that when I put it on Twitter because I didn't want people saying, oh, well, Leop was getting smoke. Well, no, that's. That's actually right. So Leopard's not slowly, not slow at all. But over shown his Top Gear was. Was looking good form was there. And I will say really quickly to that Brace comment, for whatever reason, the X Fear, Twitter Sphere, whatever, was going crazy Wednesday after practice with the. The brace on Revel and Overshone and are they going to play with that? And that means they're not ready. And over shown, to his credit, he went on Twitter and he was like, it's an accessory, not a necessity.

[Josh Rodriguez]

And he wears a lot of accessories, so he does. Cowboys nation, Brace yourselves.

[Kyle Yeomans]

All right, See what you did there?

[Isaiah Stanbach]

He's getting.

[Josh Rodriguez]

He's getting ready for today.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

He's ready for today.

[Kyle Yeomans]

He's going to have a. I feel it big time.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Bars. Yeah, bars.

[Kyle Yeomans]

The comeback after last week, redemption.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

And by the way, people bounce back week most offensive Linemen. Okay. Wear braces for the. Just in case.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Yep.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

All right. So these guys coming off of injuries pertaining to their knee, you might want to have something there, just in case. That's all I'm saying. That's all.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Listen, Tyrone Smith did pretty well with the elbow. Yeah.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

The knee braces on the elbow.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Yeah.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

My stance turned out okay for him.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

It's perfectly fine.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

My stance on it is coming off of the injuries. Those guys are 100% healthy right now. If playing with that helps prevent another injury or it helps them mentally speed up the clock, as far as getting over the injury, as long as it.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

Doesn'T, by all means.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Exactly. And like we just said, those two guys were moving well. Yeah.

[Kyle Yeomans]

The best part about overshown and we were probably closer to overshoot than we were to Rebel. So I didn't get to see a ton of Rebel. He was running around a little bit.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Saw him doing tackling drills.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Looked fine from what I could see.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Good driving.

[Kyle Yeomans]

His legs overshone. Was probably 15 yards in front of us. And the full stride. I mean, he's just.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

I want to see the deceleration.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Someone on Twitter was like, he looks like Batman. Yeah. Like, yeah, he looks great.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Was rolling and the deceleration wasn't there.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Yeah.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

That's what I was.

[Kyle Yeomans]

He kept going. And there was one portion where they were. They were hitting a tackle pad and they kind of bananaed out and kept going. And as soon as he hit it, he kind of dropped it and he just kept going. That's the hard part, him getting to that point.

[Josh Rodriguez]

The stop, the stoppage.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

It's the brakes. Rust in the brakes.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

That's the most strenuous on the knees.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Yeah.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Trusting the brakes.

[Josh Rodriguez]

You're going 100 miles an hour.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

Yeah.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Brakes.

[Kyle Yeomans]

So that's not there yet. And that's probably why Patrick, as he just alluded to it, said after you're. You're not going to see it.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

Right.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

You're not going to see it. Right.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

Which is fine.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

So post by. Absolutely. And he himself being overshone. He said that the Raiders in primetime is what they have the team has his debut pegged as. So for 2025, I say the word debut. So if all goes according to plan and so far it is, then you could look for him against the Raiders in crime.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

So a lot of. A lot of. A lot of roster activity during the bi week.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Yes. But it's going to happen. Yeah. Now I will. As far as the. The injury report, everything is pretty much the same as it was the day Prior with the. With one exception. And I'm going to try to say this without Isaiah getting us fired. Tyler Guyn was limited in practice yesterday because of a sore glute.

[Kyle Yeomans]

That's what happened.

[Josh Rodriguez]

The glute is smack.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

You good.

[Kyle Yeomans]

What could you say here?

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Is there anything you like?

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

Was it a minimus or maximus?

[Isaiah Stanbach]

I'm not sure.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

Was it just one glute?

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Nor do I care. I don't. It said Gl.

[Kyle Yeomans]

It's singular. Glutes.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

Just one glutes. One. One cheek.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

One. One portion of a cheek.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

One cheek was sore. One. One came in to work that way.

[Kyle Yeomans]

It may have happened in practice. It may have. It may have. Just, you know, just trying to get.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

The whole story here.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Happened.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

We've been having, you know, he was not on the snapshots of stories here lately. You know, injury reports have just been random. All of a sudden, guys just come into work with injuries.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

He was.

[Kyle Yeomans]

He was not on the injury report on Wednesday and it came in with it. And he was so on the injury report with Trayvon.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

Came in with a concussion. He came in with a Sorguard.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

There's no way to know based on the injury report if he came into work with it sore.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

But we know that he came heard.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

At some point during practice and they said, okay, let's shut you down for the remainder of practice. Which would then lead him to be labeled as limited as he was on the injury report.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

Just want to get. Just want to get the whole story. So he came the whole story with a sore glute and he was limited because of the soreness.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

It could have occurred during practice.

[Kyle Yeomans]

It could happen.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

It could have.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yeah. So we don't know.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

We don't.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

I'm asking questions. I'm trying to try to get the whole story here, guys. I don't want to assume. You know what I mean? I don't know. I know what they say about assuming.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Stop.

[Kyle Yeomans]

I'm sorry.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

Makes a sword glued out of you and me.

[Kyle Yeomans]

I'm sorry. We have half assed answers right now. That's part of brother. A half assed answer. I'm sorry.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

Come on, be real.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Gosh. Oh, brother. This guy stinks.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

You guys are too cheeky for me today.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Oh, this is unbelievable. All right, that's.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

That's news and notes. Isaiah's up there acting an ass. That's.

[Josh Rodriguez]

But I'm sure we have more news.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Oh, brother. This guy stinks.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

No, Josh, that's. That's pretty much gonna do it. As far as Denver's Injury report is extremely thin, slim. You got Jonah Ellis, outside linebacker, and Mike McGuire McGlinchey. Those are the only two guys on their injury report and both were full participants in practice on yesterday. So they are. I mean, outside of whomever they have on ir, they have some guys on. They're, they're mostly healthy.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

Who's under suspension report?

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yeah, that, that.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

Oh, thank you.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Jerry Greenlaw.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

I don't think people understand how important that is.

[Kyle Yeomans]

That's massive. Massive. I mean, that's one of their he's go getter pressure guys.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

He's one of the best linebackers in football.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yeah.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

Just let's call it what it is, bar none.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Yes.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

That is the equivalent to, to the Eagles in week one losing Jalen Carter. That's what he is to them.

[Josh Rodriguez]

He still lost that game.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Oh, sure.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

I'm just saying, like, in terms of like.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Yeah.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

Missing the impact like that.

[Kyle Yeomans]

He's.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

That, he's. He's that guy for them.

[Kyle Yeomans]

I'm not saying that. You're not gonna say that one on the air. All right, Josh, I'm gonna let you choose.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

You're not saying.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Would you rather go into the college football now or do a college football minute now or do it after the break?

[Josh Rodriguez]

Oh, college football minute. Let's do it after the break.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Let's do it after the break.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Yeah.

[Kyle Yeomans]

And then I've also got KY stat of the week coming up here.

[Josh Rodriguez]

And you better do that now.

[Kyle Yeomans]

You want to do that?

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

Yeah, let's, let's slide that in there now.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Oh, okay. I don't have it up yet though. That's the problem. All right, when we come back, we will have KY stat of the week. And we're also going to have the college football minute. And get your popcorn ready with jock Ray.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

Butter that up.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Back to Talking Cowboys. Back here on Talking Cowboys. This portion of the show is brought to you by Invisalign, the official smile of the Dallas Cowboys. Patrick. Nosy Walker. Josh Rodriguez, Isaiah. Stand back. I'm Kyle Yeomans. All right. Here is ky's stat of the day. I get my own drum roll, but I was hoping somebody would join in. Josh just looked at.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Well, here I was, Josh, which I feel like Beeman should have a sounder.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

For the ky. Maybe we have a jelly sounder.

[Kyle Yeomans]

No, we don't.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

What is it? You know what?

[Kyle Yeomans]

No, no, I don't ask that question. All right.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

I don't want the answer to the question.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Cowboys defense. We've had the conversation.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

He shan't.

[Josh Rodriguez]

I shan't.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

He shan't.

[Kyle Yeomans]

We've had the Cowboy. The conversation about the Cowboys defense previously.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Right.

[Kyle Yeomans]

And how they need to be serviceable in order to make this team legitimately dangerous. We saw it last week against Washington. They're still on the outside looking in for some of those numbers right now, giving up 29.4 points per game on the season. That is 30th in the NFL.

[Josh Rodriguez]

I don't like those words.

[Kyle Yeomans]

There you go. The 2000 Rams are the only team to allow 28 points per game and make the playoffs, period. Is that the greatest show on turf?

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Really? That was the greatest show on tv.

[Kyle Yeomans]

The greatest show on turf. That is exactly who it is.

[Josh Rodriguez]

And are we even?

[Isaiah Stanbach]

So you're saying there's a chance.

[Kyle Yeomans]

I don't know.

[Josh Rodriguez]

I don't know.

[Kyle Yeomans]

So with all of that being said, the greatest show on turf, of course, 2,000 rams. And what they did over and over and over again, Kurt, Kirk, Warner, they went 33 points per game, 34 points per game. Really, 29 points per game allowed. It's almost the exact same that they gave up in that matchup. Or it's the exact same points per game allowed. So far. They finished 10 and 6. And they lost in the wild card round to New Orleans. So that was not the first year of the Greatest show on turf. But they were able to piece together the years after the first round, though, and they. But they lost in the first round that year where they were giving it up. Dallas is one of three teams that have matched some of the numbers by the Greatest show on Turf this year and have done so enough to at least be comparable to it. And it's actually a part of my Big Facts article on Dallas Cowboys.com if.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

You want to go see it.

[Kyle Yeomans]

The Dallas Cowboys are the third team in NFL history to score at least 40 points in each of their first three home games, along with the 1973 Cowboys and the 2000 Rams, the exact same team that was the only team that ever made the playoffs with a bad defense.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

So you're saying there's a chance?

[Kyle Yeomans]

There is a chance, but you still need your defense to step up. That's my stat of the week does not imply that the Cowboys will win the Super Bowl.

[Josh Rodriguez]

That's why we have the sign right now.

[Kyle Yeomans]

If anything, it implies that they'll go 10 and 6 and lose in the wild card round. Hey, yo.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Hey, yo.

[Josh Rodriguez]

What kind of homer are you, buddy?

[Kyle Yeomans]

But that's what he is at the moment. I'm sorry.

[Josh Rodriguez]

What are you doing?

[Kyle Yeomans]

Maybe they'll go 10, 6 and 1 since they play that extra game. Yeah, that one. Maybe they'll go 10, 6 and 1. That'd be great.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Yikes, man.

[Kyle Yeomans]

But that is.

[Josh Rodriguez]

I don't like those words.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Sorry.

[Josh Rodriguez]

All right.

[Kyle Yeomans]

There's the stat of the week. All right. College football minute. Who's Georgia got this week go?

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Nobody, because it's by week. But I want to shout out my guys for handling then ranked number four, Ole Miss, Lane Kiffin. Those boys came to Sanford and they got handled. It was one of the best games of the year. Dogs dropped 43 by week. Next week is another big one. Rivalry. Florida in Jacksonville. Let's go.

[Kyle Yeomans]

I've got their game against Mississippi State this year.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Yeah, you do.

[Kyle Yeomans]

That'll be fun.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Yeah. Hi, Weeks.

[Josh Rodriguez]

I'll be. I'll be tuned in for that for sure.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Thanks, man. I appreciate it. Isaiah, who's Washington got?

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

Battle the W's, U Dub. Yeah, U Dubs facing another W, Wisconsin.

[Josh Rodriguez]

And are they going to get a W?

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

Nothing. I hope so, man. I don't know, bro.

[Josh Rodriguez]

I hope so.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

I'm so disappointed, bro. We're what, 5 and 2 or something like that or. I don't even know.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Oh, you're so disappointed.

[Josh Rodriguez]

I'd love to.

[Kyle Yeomans]

5 and 2.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

I think we're 5 and 2. I have to double check again, but we've lost to Michigan and Ohio State. I'm not.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Oh, sorry. Two of the best teams in the country freaking care.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

We lost. You know, Kyle, you were just in.

[Josh Rodriguez]

The national championship, man. Come on, now.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

Yeah, and then we lost that coach. So, yeah, we. One, two, three, four. Yeah, yeah, we. We. We're doing okay, but we. We beat the teams we're supposed to beat, and we've lost the teams that we should have competed with. So. Wisconsin. At Wisconsin, I believe.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Jump around.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

Yeah, we played. We just played at Michigan. Oh, no, no. I'll tell you, I'm wrong.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

I'm.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

I'm ahead of schedule. We're playing Illinois.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Illinois pretty good this year.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

They're pretty good.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Did you just say the S. Ilo.

[Kyle Yeomans]

It's Illinois. Yeah, it's Illinois.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

You don't want me to say the S. You take the S off of there.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Okay.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

I read it. I read what's on the teleprompter. Take that ass off. I read was on the teleprompter.

[Kyle Yeomans]

I'm Ron Burgundy. All right. North Texas plays tonight in Charlotte.

[Josh Rodriguez]

And coming off of a win, right?

[Kyle Yeomans]

Coming off of a win they won on Homecoming. 55, 17 against UTSA last week. Just destroyed UTSA. It was awesome. It was so fun.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Bounce back.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Bounce back in a big way after that loss to South Florida. They should win today. I think it's like a. They're like 20 point favorites. They should win by like 30 or 35.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

Watch your.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Mr. I've seen. I've watched a lot of film on Charlotte, too.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Don't play with your food.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

They're.

[Kyle Yeomans]

They're bad. I'm sorry. But North Texas, you're right. You got to get up for this one because you got Navy, who's undefeated, coming to town next week. So that's going to be a really tough one as well. They may be ranked by the time that game comes around at that Q Stadium. All right, Josh Rodriguez, Is it time?

[Josh Rodriguez]

Beamer, hit me.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Get your popcorn ready.

[Josh Rodriguez]

And if you didn't know, it's a bold producing segment with a cinematic theme. And if you didn't last week, I won't take much of your time. I'll take it all.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

Will you?

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yeah. Drain the whole clock.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Sore. Gluten all. I have three movies, and because there are always too many to choose from, I will only give each of you one ticket.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

It.

[Josh Rodriguez]

First up, we're going to war. And we've got a rag tag ensemble, including Dax, CD Pickens, Javante, even offensive coordinator Clayton Adams. And we have a test of nuclear proportions on our hands as the unstoppable force meets the Immovable object. The Dallas offense faces one of the NFL's very best defenses. But only one man is in charge of the Dallas project. Oppenheimer. Or is it Schottenheimer? It'll be bombs away, fellas. 425 plus total yards of offense for a team averaging 390 per game. Can you hear the music? Because it's an offensive explosion, the chances of defeat are near zero.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

Explosions.

[Kyle Yeomans]

You like that, Schopenheimer?

[Isaiah Stanbach]

See what you did? I had the same shopping.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Shopping?

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Yeah.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Well, you can call it Shot and Heimer. That's your. It's your segment.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

Yeah.

[Josh Rodriguez]

I like when I message.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Oh, man. So what's it.

[Kyle Yeomans]

What's the bull prediction with that one?

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

Over 425.

[Josh Rodriguez]

400. 425. 425 yards of offense. All right, number two.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

Who's number two?

[Josh Rodriguez]

On the opposite side of things, the hateful eight man box. Similar to Quentin Tarantino's homage to the spaghetti Western, which was shot in Colorado, by the way.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

Oh, oh, really?

[Kyle Yeomans]

Little extra bonus point there.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

Okay.

[Josh Rodriguez]

For the trivia nerds out there.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Nice.

[Josh Rodriguez]

This Sunday feature is also about killing Cowboys. For three straight hours, Dallas has held to less than 75 yards on the ground thanks to a stout defensive line rotation and stacked box. With Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph saying, keeping you at a disadvantage is an advantage I intend to keep. And finally, in keeping with spooky season, we have a scary option available to you. It's called Candy Man. All right. Oh, wouldn't it be a treat if the Cowboys continue on the trajectory of man coverage as we saw from the Dallas Cowboys taking on the Commanders? To conjure this, we must say his name in front of a mirror five times. Ready?

[Kyle Yeomans]

Five times.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Eberflus.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

Eberfluss.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Eberfloos.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

Eberflues.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Eberfloos. Dallas increases man coverage to over 50% in this game. And if you read Science Lab this week, you'd know it jumped from around 15 to 47 last week. Win, lose or draws.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

And you did read it.

[Josh Rodriguez]

You better wear your Sunday best, Kyle. I will get your popcorn ready because it's going to be a show.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Strong showing.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

I would like to buy a ticket.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Okay. Which one you going?

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

I want to buy a ticket to the Eber flu.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Candy man.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

Candyman.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Candy man coverage.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

Candy man.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Yes.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

I'd like to buy a ticket there because I believe that Dallas is going to have to play over 50 man coverage if they even want to compete in this game.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Okay.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

I feel like so point of clarity for Schottenheimer.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Schopenheimer, as Kyle coined it. He basically did the same.

[Kyle Yeomans]

No, it's Good.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

You're saying 425 of total.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Yes.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

You know what? I'll. I'll buy that ticket. Oh, I'll buy that ticket.

[Kyle Yeomans]

425.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

I'll buy that ticket. You know why? Because he said this is a segment of bold predictions.

[Kyle Yeomans]

It is bold.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Yes. This is unstoppable. Force meets the immovable object. So logic dictates it'll be less than that. However, I said a couple days ago, I said it again yesterday. I think the Cowboys offense has a slight edge against the, the Broncos defense. So yeah, you know what? Sign me up for that. 425. Let's go shoddy shoppy.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Shopping, shopping. Total net yards allowed by Denver game by game this week, say Kyle Week one against Tennessee, one 133. So not week two against Indiana. So you're saying there's a chance. You said it. Indiana Jones put up 473.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Well, there you go.

[Kyle Yeomans]

But then they came back and it was 3:76 against Herbert and the Chargers. Cincinnati without Burrow put up 1:59. Philly put up 302. The New York jets put up an abysmal 82 yards total against this defense, and then the Giants had 387.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

So here's, here's what I'm so the.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Only one to do it has been Indiana Jones in the Indianapolis.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

But then of those others that you say that they've gone against, Justin Herbert is the best of the quarterbacks and he's had an up and down season for the most part. Right.

[Kyle Yeomans]

He's been really good.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Now the other ones, jets, nothing. Okay, who was the other?

[Kyle Yeomans]

Bengals.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Bengals without Joburg.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Tennessee.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Tennessee. No, Cam Ward can't get protected.

[Kyle Yeomans]

The good offenses they've faced have all gone for 300.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Plus the Jackson Dart, the rookie. Yeah, that. That offense put up three. Almost 400. I'm. I'm buying this ticket.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Okay, you're buying it?

[Isaiah Stanbach]

I'm buying.

[Josh Rodriguez]

425.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

I'm buying this.

[Josh Rodriguez]

To me it's most crucial because of movie number two, the hateful eight man box. If Dallas is not able, in my opinion, to run the ball effectively in the first two quarters, it's a done, done deal for me. If, if they hope, if running is impossible, that Dallas needs that balance. They need to be perfect in order to win these games the on the offensive side of things. So yeah, I'm buying my ticket for movie number two. And I hate to say, but I think we're going to be held to under 75 yards on the ground.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Oh, well, 1:25 is coming from one guy in particular. I believe in Gavante.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

The.

[Kyle Yeomans]

I, I don't. I. I feel like you're right. There's. There's like a. It's not a double feature because it's one way or the other.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Yes.

[Kyle Yeomans]

With the ground game and Super 8 and then the Schopenheimer. The numbers.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Hateful 8.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yeah. Sorry. Super Dare you. Another great movie, though.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Is. Good movie.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Awesome movie. One of my Hateful eight. And you've got the two separate sides of that. One of them is going to be correct, I think out of those two.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Yeah.

[Kyle Yeomans]

So I'm going to stay away from both of them entirely. And I'm going to go with Isaiah here and I'm going to take the ticket to Candy Man. Candy man. Because that man coverage, especially off of the film, and I said this in the opening segment, if you're Sean Payton, you said, okay, we got destroyed against man last week. Eber flu is probably going to run a ton of man. And if you're eber flu, you don't really have a choice here.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Yeah.

[Kyle Yeomans]

The Giants switch the zone. They get destroyed for 33 points in the fourth quarter. You've got to be able to run man coverage consistently. Consistently in this football game. I think it'll be over.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Don't forget, you got.

[Kyle Yeomans]

You got seatbelt. Carson back.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Maybe.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Maybe.

[Announcer/Ad Voice]

I don't know. Maybe.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

What's that?

[Josh Rodriguez]

A little coy about it. Carson?

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Maybe elevate Zion Childress for this game. Might that guy can.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Probably his name depends on if he's like ready with the playbook still. Maybe if they're switching all this stuff. Yeah.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

Can you play man? Yes, Coach.

[Kyle Yeomans]

He may not have been. He was a rookie.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

He was also in training camp this.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Entire time where they played zone all the time.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

I'm just saying he knows the playbook.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

You don't need a playbook for man.

[Kyle Yeomans]

But they've changed the playbook book is what I'm saying.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

No, that's fair.

[Kyle Yeomans]

It is different than what they've had in the past.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

But Isaiah makes a. You're right. And Isaiah makes a good point too. When you're talking about playing man, that's much closer to just plain straight up football where I have no doubt that that's your man. Lock him up. Yeah.

[Kyle Yeomans]

It just depends on if he could do it at a higher level already. Who's on the team like Bridges and.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

A couple of these other I'd have him on the game day roster just in case.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yeah, maybe it's a good idea. We'll see what Diggs is doing too. We still just like you said earlier, that's a question mark. I think it's probably a no go.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

It's. It's likely.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yeah, we'll get a for real designation today, but it's likely a no go. All right, when we come back, it's time for our pick them. Give us a call. 8888-5522-9788-8855, 2297 More Talking Cowboys right after this.

Raise your hand. Josh Rodriguez, 5 and 1 last week. My gosh. The only game he missed was the Chargers.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Wow.

[Kyle Yeomans]

At home. Lost to Indiana Jones.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

Wow.

[Josh Rodriguez]

You like that?

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

I don't.

[Kyle Yeomans]

The fans are in second place with 20 and 15. Thank you. Cole from Kentucky last week. Good job, Cole.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

I just fell off.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Isaiah is in third place. 19 and 16 and we have a tie for last place. No see in Kyle. We're hanging in there, buddy. 15 and 20. You guys are only six games out of first place.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

Where did I go last week?

[Kyle Yeomans]

What was my your last week? Isaiah is 4 and 2.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Not bad. Been a good week. It's not 5 and 1, but it's oh.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Kyle and Patrick went 2 and 4. Yeah, it was a bad week.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Josh.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Huh?

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

How many wins does Josh have?

[Kyle Yeomans]

He has 21 wins. You have 91. You're two games back. 21.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Those guys are we have determined who.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Chat GPT went five and one also last week. They're 18 and seven. Six on the wow. Golly, Chad. GP maybe I need to start giving those picks.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Wait. 18. Did it not do a week?

[Kyle Yeomans]

It did not do the first week.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Got it.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yeah, we we wait waited a week.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

I'm still the reigning champion until for.

[Announcer/Ad Voice]

The.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Is that Corey Patrick?

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

I'm still the rainy champion.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Sure sounded like still the champion from last year. We don't even know who won the.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Super bowl last year.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Don't worry everybody for I love that.

[Kyle Yeomans]

I don't want to talk.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

I'd give you a cartoon.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Yeah.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

All right.

[Kyle Yeomans]

By the way, Chap GPT told me last week that. I know right. Chat okay. Said that without McLaurin and Debo, the Cowboys were going to score 40. And they did. Yeah, they did. How about that? That's interesting. Chat. GPT's got it rolling. All right. We've got Brian in Kansas City on the line. B and Casey.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

What up, B&KC Good morning, gentlemen. My gluteus maximus is in shape and I'm ready to go.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Put me in, coach.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

Both cheeks. Yes. As a matter of fact, yes. B O F F apostrophe E M.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Thank you, Brian, for calling. We appreciate you listening so often. Unfortunately, this is kind of a stinker week for games, gentlemen.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Stinker.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Speaking of cheeks, there's.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yeah, there's like three games, baby. Three total games. Where the spread is under a touchdown.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

Where the what?

[Isaiah Stanbach]

The spread.

[Kyle Yeomans]

The spread.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

The spread of the cheeks?

[Kyle Yeomans]

No, no.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

Oh, the game. Sorry, I got mixed up with your gambling. I got mixed up with your synthesis. The points, they were too close to each other. You got to spread them apart. Okay, here we go.

[Kyle Yeomans]

There's only one.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Only.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

You got to separate your sentences, Kyle.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Three games where that's the case. And the Cowboys happens to be one of those games. Let's talk about this one first. The Bears at the Ravens. Joshua, start us off. Bears at Ravens.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Is Lamar Jackson still out?

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yes, yes.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

Limited in practice.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Bears.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Dubai's the burrs.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Patrick, you know, the Ravens, they got it all figured out this week because they took the ping pong table out of the. The locker room because that. That was the problem.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

No fun zone.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

The Bears. Get out of here. It's the Bears.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Isaiah.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Gotta pick up a game somewhere.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

I think coming off a buy, right? The Bears are. I think so.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Yeah.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yes, they are.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

They both are.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yeah, they are.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

I. I just go with the Bears. No, no, no. I think Derrick Henry gets back on track, though. I think he gives it over 150.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Sure.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

But I'm gonna go with the Bears. I think their passing game's gonna figure it out.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yeah. I don't know, Jim. I know. I'm.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

I'm thinking Ravens.

[Kyle Yeomans]

At some point. The Ravens are gonna.

[Josh Rodriguez]

They're gonna.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

They're gonna click.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Yeah.

[Kyle Yeomans]

And they're gonna. They're gonna win.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

It's the last game without Lamar.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yeah, they're in. I. I'm gonna stick with the Ravens. I'm gonna give them one last shot, see if they get it done. I gotta pick up a game myself, so I'm gonna try and see what happens. I'm gonna give faith to Cooper Rush. I think he's gonna pick us up. Brian, what you got?

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

As soon as we get off the show, Lamar Jackson's playing.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yeah, exactly.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

I.

[Kyle Yeomans]

You know, and I'm guessing that he.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

Is going to play, being limited yesterday in practice. So I'm thinking this is going to be the week for them.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Baltimore, I did just look it up. It is tbd. So there is still very much so questionable for Lamar this week. Baltimore is coming off the by. Chicago played New Orleans last week.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Oh, yeah. I'm switching.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

I'm going Baltimore.

[Kyle Yeomans]

You're gonna switch it.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

I'm going Baltimore.

[Kyle Yeomans]

I will allow you to switch it.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

Since I'm going Baltimore. We're still on. We're still in. Yeah. I'm going Baltimore.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Okay.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Okay. I'm taking. I'm taking the Ravens.

[Josh Rodriguez]

I'm sticking with the Bears.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Are you sticking and picking?

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

No. Now.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Okay, now I'm going Ravens. I gotta go opposite. Josh, why you play that game?

[Josh Rodriguez]

Just believe in yourself.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Gotta hurry up. All right. Brown, zip. Patriots, Browns and Patriots. Almost read the wrong one. Browns at Patriots this week. Patrick.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Patriots.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Brian.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Patriots.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Josh.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Yeah. I got to go with the Patriots.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Okay. I'm taking the Pats, too.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Sorry.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

Give me the Muskets.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

All right.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Buccaneers at Saints.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

Ooh.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Oh, yeah. You like this game, Isaiah? I'll let you start it off. Buccaneers at Saints.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

Give me the Ibuka.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yeah. Buccaneers rebound in the big way this week.

[Josh Rodriguez]

So hot right now. Baker, Mayfield and Bucs.

[Kyle Yeomans]

You love picking Baker Mayfield.

[Josh Rodriguez]

I love him. How could you not?

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Yeah, I gotta. I gotta go. Baker.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Okay.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Baker. They're gonna. They're gonna win it for Mike.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Brian.

[Announcer/Ad Voice]

Yeah.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Bucks 49ers at the Texans. Brock Purdy also questionable. And the Texans entire offensive line is questionable whether they're playing or not.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Stumbling into these wins. They're going to do it again.

[Kyle Yeomans]

I guess I'm going to take the Texans to sneak one out at home.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

I too, will take the Texas.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Take the Texas.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

I will not.

[Kyle Yeomans]

The minor stuck at the bottom.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Yeah.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

No way.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Have you seen Brian?

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

I'm going with the Niners on the road. All right.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Packers at Steelers. A rematch of the super bowl that was played at AT&T Stadium. Back in the day. Packers at the Steelers.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Josh, give me the.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Give me the Steelers.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Give me the Packers.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Patrick, man, Packers.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Okay, Brian, see your strategy now you're just.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

I'm going with the road team again. I'm going.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Packers going with the pack. I'm gonna go with Green Bay as well. Isaiah. The pack.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

It's Coy Isaiah.

[Kyle Yeomans]

That was coy Isaiah. You don't like that pick?

[Josh Rodriguez]

I don't.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yeah. That one's gonna be a tough one.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Give me a Packer.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Aaron Rodgers. Revenge game at home.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Nah.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

Is Watson back yet?

[Kyle Yeomans]

Christian Watson?

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

I don't know. Big dude, bro.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yeah, he is.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

I saw him during the pre game when they came here. I was like, yo, why is this dude so tall?

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yeah, he's tall. He's huge. Yeah.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

Crazy. All right.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Cowboys at Broncos. Dallas has not won in Denver since 1992. They have not defeated the Broncos, period, since 1995. Last time that those two things happened, Nate Newton was on the team, and he's been on our podcast for about a decade now. That's what the type of game it is. And the Cowboys have lost seven straight against the Denver Broncos. 325, kickoff on CBS. Isaiah, I'll let you start. I don't like it.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Kyle.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Don't like it.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

I don't like it. I have faith in aspects of our team. I just don't. The bubbles. Yeah, I need a pink drink for this one. I don't want to say it, but I'm going with Broncos. I hope that I'm wrong, but I have a reputation, so let's go with the Broncos. 31, 17.

[Kyle Yeomans]

31, 17.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Okay, Josh, as much as I. My heart is telling me to pick the Dallas Cowboys. I told you the movie I was picking, and I don't know, fellas, but I'm picking the damn Cowboys yet again. 27, 23. Dallas.

[Kyle Yeomans]

27, 23. Lost the headset in the process. Like, yeah, that was an emphatic.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Get it out of here.

[Kyle Yeomans]

I should have. We should have gone last.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Speaking of the. Speaking of what you're picking. Picking Pickens. Pickens and Lamb have themselves a very, very productive day. Not going to say they're going to break out, but they're going to have a very productive day. Like I said, by the Cowboys, getting 425 total yards. I'm taking the Cowboys in this. I think Eber Flutes does do a lot of man coverage. I think he learned his lesson from both earlier the season and from what the Giants did last week. So give me the Cowboys in this 30, 27, close game. Brandon Aubrey wins it on a 66.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yard, breaks the record.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

Let's go.

[Kyle Yeomans]

That would be awesome. Let's go. That would be. Brian.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

I'm telling the Broncos they better get their glutes ready.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Oh, boy.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

33, Denver 25. That's it for me, gentlemen.

[Kyle Yeomans]

You said 33, 25.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

Yes, sir.

[Kyle Yeomans]

All right. Appreciate you, Brian. Great call, as always. We appreciate you listening here.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

I'm talking spanking.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Yeah. He said, get them glutes ready.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

Wow.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Ready.

[Kyle Yeomans]

That's right. Last week I picked Washington. Dallas comes out and just proved me wrong. Thank goodness. I loved it. I loved every second of that game last week. And I also loved it whenever people online would, like, comment on my Facebook posts with photos of me and my children, and they were like, you picked the cow or you picked Washington this week. How do you feel? It was like what did Noel do?

[Isaiah Stanbach]

Leave the kids out.

[Kyle Yeomans]

I loved that as well. No, don't comment on pictures of me and me, me and my kids. But you can't send me hate comments if I pick the other team and the Cowboys prove me wrong. Because I love it when the Cowboys prove me wrong. And they're going to have to do it again this week. I'm picking Denver and it's going to be 3121. Denver wins it.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

You just prices right to me.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Did I you think you thought I was going to build up to pick the Cowboys?

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

No, you just price it right. But mys is 3117.

[Josh Rodriguez]

Yeah.

[Isaiah Stanbach]

$1 one.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Come on down. That's going to do it for us here on Talking Cowboys pregame live starting 2pm Central Time this week.

[Patrick Nosy Walker]

That's right.

[Kyle Yeomans]

Tune in Dallas Cowboys.com Dallas Cowboys.com will have post game coverage immediately with the first word presented by Dr. Pepper. Then we've got Cowboys OT Cowboys game night. A full arsenal of shows this week.

We're, we're trying to, we're trying to make sure those post game shows are rolling in the right direction. But we'll be there 2pm Central Time.
