00:01To the following presentation
00:02of the National Football League.
00:09They are pounding the drum at
00:10Bank of America Stadium in
00:12Charlotte a little cooler a
00:13little cloudy but good football
00:14weather for the Cowboys and the
00:16Panthers and Pam Oliver I guess
00:18we should buckle up for this
00:19game I've been told.
00:20Hey let's you know Rico Della
00:22was quite the median sensation
00:24last week not only because he
00:26sliced up the Dolphins defense
00:28defense but also he kept
00:30insisting that his former team
00:32should buckle up.
00:34With Tuba Hubbard out today he
00:36will have plenty of opportunities
00:38to try to back up those words.
00:40When we spoke he told me that my
00:42mission is to go out and get the
00:44job done be the playmaker that I
00:46am.
00:48He did note that the Dallas defense
00:50has improved stopping the run
00:52slightly but that the Panthers
00:54have some space to make plays.
00:56The Cowboys well they are in the
00:57lower tier and rush defense ranked
00:5923rd in the NFL.
01:02We'll see if Dowdle can repeat his
01:04performance this week.
01:06Carolina won the toss and deferred
01:08so the Cowboys offense will be out
01:10on the field to begin the day.
01:16Ryan Fitzgerald the rookie out of
01:17Florida State will kick away to
01:19start this afternoon week six of
01:21the NFL season.
01:23A really entertaining first month a
01:26lot of comebacks including
01:28Carolina's seventeen point comeback
01:30last week against the Miami
01:32Dolphins.
01:36Side winding kick Carolina has been
01:37great at these dirty kickoffs to
01:39make it tough on return men.
01:40Jaden blew the rookie with his
01:42second career kick return and he'll
01:44step out of bounds shy the 30 yard
01:46line.
01:47That's where Dak Prescott will take
01:48over.
01:49Last two weeks has been really
01:50sharp.
01:51You like what you saw last week
01:52against the Jets.
01:53Yeah I mean you see his numbers
01:54right there but you got to also
01:55paint the context of the
01:56environment he was operating on.
01:57He was on the road in New York
01:59against the Jets defense that was
02:01pretty solid and he did it without
02:03four starting offensive linemen
02:04and arguably their best player in
02:05CeeDee Lamb and they still continue
02:08to put up 30 plus a game.
02:10This is the two thousand twenty
02:12three Dak Prescott all over again.
02:14CeeDee Lamb is out again today.
02:18Prescott on the rollout.
02:19Brevin span for the second year
02:21tight end is there.
02:23It's that ball knocked out of his
02:25hands by Trevin Wallace.
02:26Going to bring up second down and
02:28six on a gain of four.
02:30Yeah so you know you ask all right
02:32Brian Schottenheimer he was the
02:33offensive coordinator under Mike
02:35McCarthy.
02:36They move on from McCarthy and
02:37promote Schottenheimer say okay
02:39well it's just going to be business
02:40as usual.
02:41This is actually a very different
02:43type of approach that Brian
02:44Schottenheimer is built a lot of
02:46under center the really significant
02:49improvement in the run game.
02:51Tying running pass together
02:52Schottenheimer's done a really
02:53nice job along with Dak building
02:55this early offense.
02:58So here's Javonte Williams the
03:00North Carolina native from about
03:01two hundred miles east of
03:03Charlotte.
03:04He takes it ahead to set up a
03:06third down and short.
03:07Derrick Brown was there on the
03:08stoppies part of the Carolina
03:09front.
03:10Yeah so as far as marquee names
03:12Derrick Brown he's as good as
03:14it gets.
03:15He is the premier player along with
03:17JC Horn the boundary corner in
03:19today's game they have to control
03:21this Dallas run game on early
03:23downs with the front.
03:24They cannot take these safeties
03:26and bring them down into the
03:27box.
03:28They cannot give up splash plays.
03:31It's been a big issue for
03:32Carolina all year.
03:33You don't want to allow Dak and
03:35this offense to score fast.
03:39Four in the pattern for Prescott
03:40and an underthrown ball for Ryan
03:42Flannoy.
03:43It was deflected up front by a Sean
03:45Robinson the big body for
03:47Carolina's defense.
03:49That'll bring up fourth down to
03:50three and out.
03:54That's a great stop to get this
03:56game rolling.
03:57Obviously we're going to talk all
03:58day about the load that this
04:00Panthers defense is going to have
04:01to carry.
04:02See big a Sean Robinson he gets
04:03that right arm up and he's able
04:06to deflect that short passing game
04:08on third down.
04:09So Brian anger boots it away.
04:11Hunter Renfro says bail out.
04:13And that ball will roll near the
04:16twenty four yard line forty four
04:21yard punt.
04:22A little lower than league
04:23average for anger.
04:24Here's Bryce Young.
04:25They played better at home.
04:26They won both of their home games
04:28over these last few weeks a little
04:30bit sharper.
04:31The word is consistency surrounding
04:33Bryce Young.
04:34That seems to be the theme.
04:35Yeah especially now as he enters
04:36year three.
04:37Of course everyone understands what
04:39happened last year losing the
04:40job to Andy Dalton then getting
04:42it back through some rather
04:44unfortunate circumstances for
04:46Andy with the car accident
04:47whatnot.
04:48But when he's good Bryce Young has
04:50been excellent.
04:51He made about five or six big
04:52time plays and that come from
04:53behind win last week.
04:54It's the plays in between the
04:57splash.
04:58He's got to get more consistent.
04:59And here is Rico Dowdle the
05:01former Dallas Cowboy and coming
05:03off a two hundred and six yard
05:05performance and eight yard run
05:06out of the gate for Dowdle.
05:11I think we're going to see a lot
05:13of this.
05:14So this is the strength of the
05:16Panthers offense right but it's
05:18so much of it is contingent Adam
05:19upon how well their defense plays
05:21because they want to slow the
05:22game down.
05:23They want to run the ball get
05:24under center and run at this
05:26Dallas defense.
05:27But their ability to do that is
05:29directly correlated to their
05:30defense getting off the field
05:31keeping the score down.
05:32So as long as this game stays
05:34tight this is who Carolina wants
05:36to be today.
05:38Off play action good pocket for
05:40Bryce Young and he's got a
05:41target.
05:42It is caught by the rookie Mitchell
05:44Evans seventh career catch and
05:46he had a big one last week the
05:48game winning touchdown against
05:49Miami.
05:50Miami he picks up twenty one and
05:52this is an area it's a little
05:53sail route he's going to sell the
05:54over and then come back on the
05:55corner.
05:56This is an area of the offense
05:57that Dave Canales the head
05:59coach and offensive play car.
06:00They want to see more out of
06:02their run game is best under
06:04center.
06:05But so far their past game has
06:07been best out of the shotgun
06:08those two things don't align
06:10makes your offense a little
06:11disjointed stay under center
06:13run and pass on first and second
06:15down.
06:18Here is Donald with some good
06:20blocking from Tommy tremble the
06:22tight end and that sets up
06:23Donald for another twelve yards
06:25excellent blocking to set up a
06:27nice hole for the Carolina
06:28offense.
06:32I think this is one of the best
06:33things that Dave Canales does
06:35uses Tedaro McMillan their best
06:38receiver the rookie first round
06:39pick they use him in a little
06:40orbit motion just a little window
06:42dressing to change the eyes of
06:44these Dallas defenders and so
06:47far here on this opening drive
06:48Bryce Young is under center on
06:50every snap and I think that's
06:53when they're at their best.
06:58Another play action from under
07:00center.
07:01Dump it off for Dowdle in space
07:03working against Kenneth Murray
07:04who shoves him out near the 20
07:06yard line.
07:09Really solid opening drive for
07:11Carolina against this cowboy defense.
07:13Yeah it's been kind of the the
07:14tail of the first four games and
07:16then last week against New York
07:17when this Dallas defense really
07:19came to life it was the pass rush.
07:21They went into that week five
07:22matchup against the Jets with
07:24five sacks through four games
07:25last week they doubled their total
07:27had five alone in week five but
07:30right now with the mix of this
07:31run game passing you're not going
07:32to really get the rush to pass or
07:34they got to sure things up here
07:35along the front here early.
07:38Toss play Dowdle with a hole.
07:41Another strong Rico Dowdle run.
07:44Wanya Thomas makes the stop after
07:46an eight yard gain and boy Rico
07:48Dowdle made some noise last week
07:49and then made a little bit more
07:50noise this week hoping for some
07:51revenge against his former team
07:53after a great year last year for
07:54Dallas.
07:55Yeah I mean you look back when
07:57when Dak went down of course the
07:58Dallas offense was kind of a shell
08:00at what it had been in previous
08:02years but you can see said they
08:03know I'm a violent runner and
08:05they got a buck.
08:06They saw it firsthand he was a
08:08thousand yard rusher last year
08:09for the Cowboys was a big part of
08:12that offense they lost him in
08:13free agency and it's had a great
08:15start to his Carolina time.
08:17Bryce Young maneuvering in the
08:19pocket had pressure coming from
08:20the rookie Donovan as a rocku
08:22their second round pick out of
08:24Boston College brought some heat
08:26it'll be third down and two.
08:31Yeah so I think that that
08:32pressure scares him around take
08:33a look here up at the top
08:34Xavier Lee get.
08:37Trayvon digs he jumps the
08:39underneath round you can see
08:40Lee get he's putting his hand
08:41up he felt it but rolling to the
08:44left there for Bryce Young the
08:45second he got his head around
08:47defender in his face just lucky
08:49to be able to throw that one
08:50away.
08:52Young's been very good in the red
08:53zone this year trying to pick up
08:56two and keep this drive moving.
08:58It is the first touch of the
08:59year for DJ Dallas and it will go
09:01for nothing.
09:02Reddy Stewart from the safety
09:04spot came up to make the stop and
09:06it's going to be fourth down and I
09:08wonder if this is four down
09:09territory or not.
09:10Yeah.
09:11So I think that third down call in
09:12Dave Canales his mind he's telling
09:15himself right.
09:16He's the head coach and the
09:17offensive play caller.
09:18I've got two downs.
09:20DJ Dallas mentioned first carry the
09:22year.
09:23He completely missed where that
09:24ball was supposed to hit.
09:25I think if he keeps it front side.
09:27At least if they get this down to
09:29fourth and one fourth and one and
09:31a half he considers keeping his
09:33offense out there.
09:34He knows field goals are most
09:35likely not going to do it against
09:37this Cowboys offense.
09:38So instead of thirty one yard try
09:41shorter than a P.A.T. for Ryan
09:43Fitzgerald the rookie.
09:44He's been really solid all year.
09:46He's only missed a couple of
09:47kicks and he gets Carolina on the
09:49board first on a solid opening
09:51drive that does stall but the
09:52Panthers take the early lead on
09:54Dallas.

10:09A drive apiece three and out for
10:12the Cowboys three points for the
10:13Panthers.
10:15Rico Dottle heavily involved on that
10:17opening series.
10:18It's not a key for Carolina is
10:20going to be they've been pretty
10:21good in the script right that the
10:23opening script the first ten fifteen
10:24plays that Dave can Allison staff
10:26work on a lot of opening drive
10:28touchdowns a lot of opening drive
10:29points and then the question is
10:31how do they sustain it.
10:32How do they handle the
10:33adjustments.
10:34I think that's something they're
10:35still working through so be curious
10:37to see can they keep up that
10:38offensive success as this game
10:40unfolds.
10:44Short kick this time Jalen Cropper
10:46on the return a little bit of a
10:48stumble he spins just past the
10:50twenty five yard line and
10:52Lathan ransom the rookie on the
10:53stop.
10:54let's go line dancing with the
10:56Cowboys three first round picks
10:57over the last four years week one
10:59this season you had those three
11:01first rounders and then suddenly
11:03last week a much different look.
11:05Yeah they went into last week's
11:07game with only Terrence Steele the
11:09right tackle big news today Tyler
11:12Guyton the left tackle Tyler Smith
11:14two of those former first rounders
11:15there back on the left side you see
11:17there that's going to bode well now
11:20as they try to continue to get
11:21healthy here in Dallas.
11:23There is Javonte Williams dragging
11:25Patrick Jones past the thirty yard
11:27line for about four yards Williams
11:30a North Carolina Tar Heel in his
11:32college days that was the only
11:34FBS school that had offered him a
11:36scholarship so from Wallace Rose
11:38Hill High School about two hundred
11:40miles east of Charlotte goes to
11:42North Carolina turns out a good
11:43career there comes a Denver Bronco
11:46had that ACL injury a few years
11:47ago and he looks very sharp in his
11:50first season with the Dallas
11:51Cowboys.
11:58Here he is good penetration that
11:59time from Christian Roseboom and
12:01that kind of blew up the play for
12:03no gain a Sean Robinson finishes it
12:05off and it's third down.
12:07Yeah a little surprised here from
12:09Dallas on these early down just
12:11very conservative run game.
12:14One of the things Dallas has led the
12:16league in is their first down pass
12:18they've been so efficient they've
12:19been explosive.
12:21They've started the first two drives
12:22of this first quarter very run
12:25heavy and now it's putting
12:26themselves in back to back third
12:27and past situations three and out
12:29of the first drive third and six
12:30here from the thirty one.
12:37Extra man coming for Carolina
12:38Prescott's got time got the out
12:40route got the completion of George
12:42Pickens and he steps out past the
12:43sticks at the forty three yard line
12:45of first down.
12:47All right so if you look up
12:48quarterbacks first zone coverage
12:50Dak Prescott's arguably the best in
12:52the league.
12:53So we kind of expected Carolina to
12:55mix in some man coverage routes
12:57put some of the onus on the talent
12:59around them.
13:00Don't let him just sit there and
13:01pick apart.
13:02So they're on that third down.
13:03They dial up man and he hits Pickens.
13:07Fake to Williams throw across the
13:09body for Ryan Flannoy in a first
13:11down.
13:12He's coming off the best game of his
13:13NFL career against the Jets last
13:15week.
13:16He picks up thirteen.
13:17Yeah.
13:18So this is where Dallas is at their
13:19best under center early down but
13:21pass.
13:22You spread these zones out.
13:24They're so worried about the
13:25downhill run game.
13:26It all looks the same.
13:27I think the biggest difference
13:29between Brian Schottenheimer and
13:30this system from a year ago is
13:32the run and pass formations on
13:34first and second down.
13:35They all look exactly the same.
13:37Puts a lot of stress on the
13:38defense.
13:42Here's Williams again with a nice
13:43first down run inside of the
13:45forty yard line as we check in
13:47with our friend Carissa Thompson.
13:48CT.
13:49Thanks so much Adam.
13:50I'm glad you made it after that
13:51long baseball game.
13:52Great job the other night.
13:53Great job here by Daniel Jones to
13:55Tyler Warren wide open over the
13:57middle.
13:58It takes it in for the score.
13:59Colts up early in this one seven
14:00nothing over the Cardinals.
14:02Adam.
14:03CT appreciate you very much.
14:05You mentioned Tyler Warren one of
14:06the best pass receiving tight
14:08ends in the league.
14:09We've got one here in this game
14:10with Jake Ferguson.
14:11He's been hot to start the year
14:12for Dallas.
14:14Two of the top five pass catching
14:16tight ends in the NFL in the
14:17first month plus.
14:20Fake it to Williams Prescott
14:22loading up floats it over the
14:24top of the defense.
14:25George Pickens with a ball in
14:28hand then a hurdle taking it
14:30down inside the 10.
14:31We'll have to check the marker
14:35that was tossed.
14:36I think this is going to go on
14:37JC Horn.
14:38He's he's matched up again in man
14:40coverage against George Pickens.
14:42They're going to call him for
14:43defensive holding clearly will be
14:46declined by Dallas.
14:49Holding defense number eight.
14:52That penalty is declined.
14:54Result for the play.
14:55First down.
14:56Thirty one yard gain Greg.
14:57All right.
14:58So this is a tough man matchup.
14:59So he's up there and press.
15:01Big body George Pickens.
15:03He's long.
15:04He can run.
15:05JC Horn tries to undercut that
15:07ball just a fantastic throw by
15:09Dak Prescott.
15:10He throws that ball any lower.
15:13It's probably a pick.
15:14Good ball placement.
15:15Then just look at the
15:16athleticism of Pickens in the
15:18open field.
15:19He's their leading receiver in
15:22terms of yards.
15:23Ferguson's their leading receiver
15:25in terms of catches and out
15:27into the red zone for Dallas
15:29where they've been fairly
15:30efficient so far this year.
15:31Well better than league average.
15:33Here is Williams.
15:38Some shifty maneuvering.
15:40Roseboom grabbed him by the
15:41ankle.
15:42It's a three yard gain and it's
15:43second and goal.
15:44You know I think that man versus
15:45zone though conversation Adam
15:47is just an interesting whether
15:49it's this game or just around
15:50the league that the general rule
15:51of thumb is if you're going to
15:53play zone coverage you're going
15:55to stress the quarterback and
15:57you're going to stress the
15:58play call right then it's just
15:59a matter of finding green grass
16:01when you flip it and you play
16:02man.
16:03Now you're saying all right
16:04quarterback.
16:05Yeah you're going to find your
16:06best matchup and now you're
16:07counting on somebody to work
16:08and get open that Prescott in
16:11this system against zone has
16:13been so good.
16:14I'm not surprised to see
16:15Carolina try to mix it up.
16:17Fake it to Williams stays in
16:19to protect under pressure
16:20Prescott was looking for
16:22Williams on a little release
16:24Williams was still matched up
16:26with Trayvon Merrig who came
16:28in from that nickel safety
16:29spot to put some pressure on
16:31again.
16:32So Adro Aveiro bringing an
16:34extra body that time.
16:35Yeah.
16:36I think I think they were
16:37counting on man.
16:38Dak has two crossers halfway
16:40deep in the end zone and just
16:42they pass it off.
16:43There's nowhere to go.
16:44And then right now he's just
16:45trying to avoid a grounding
16:46call.
16:47He's just trying to get that
16:48ball as close as he can to
16:50and get up to Ponte Williams to
16:52avoid the penalty.
16:54Third down and goal for Dallas.
17:00Prescott pumping rolling out to
17:03the left will throw across the
17:06body again and it's broken up.
17:09Nick Scott had Ryan Flanoy and
17:12just broke that up to prevent
17:13the touchdown.
17:14And it's fourth down and goal the
17:16field goal units coming for the
17:17Cowboys.
17:18Yeah.
17:19It's great job by Dak Prescott
17:20escaping the initial pressure.
17:23But Carolina they're playing zone
17:24coverage and they do a great job
17:25what they call plaster technique.
17:27So anytime in the red zone the
17:29quarterbacks go scramble drill.
17:31You've got a latch on to the
17:32nearest receiver and just turn it
17:34into man coverage.
17:35Really good stand now we've seen
17:37both offenses now trade long
17:39sustained drives and turn this
17:41thing into a kicking contest.
17:44Easy one for Aubrey from 23 and
17:46this was the hope for a girl of
17:48arrow to try to keep this as a
17:50kicking contest.
17:52The athletic highlight of this
17:53first quarter George Pickens the
17:55elevation.
17:59And the drive you've seen extended
18:00drives from the top of the
18:01drive from both teams as Greg
18:03mentioned.
18:04Both teams end up with a field
18:05goal on these last couple of
18:06series Pickens had the nice play
18:08and we're tied up at three apiece.
18:17Cowboys have played some wild
18:18games.
18:19You've seen him twice America saw
18:20him on that Sunday night 40 40
18:21overtime tie against Green Bay.
18:22We had him in that week two game
18:23in Dallas that they won in
18:24overtime.
18:25Brandon Aubrey just took the game
18:27out of the game.
18:28over at the end and beat New York
18:33Giants.
18:35Aubrey looking for a pinning kick
18:38it is going to be a touchback
18:39that landed in the landing zone
18:41hit the official.
18:44That is a perfect kick and this
18:46is the type of kicking we're
18:47seeing now the NFL that is a
18:49perfect kickoff if it lands in
18:51the landing zone you have to
18:53play it if it had gone out of
18:54bounds it would have been a
18:55penalty would have taken it out
18:56to the 40 but because it hits in
18:58the landing zone and goes into
19:00the end zone as a touchback
19:01that's like the old old school
19:03touch back to the 20 now.
19:04It's a 20 yard difference and
19:05both these teams are very good
19:07at it.
19:08Yep.
19:09Maybe no one in the league better
19:10than kicking those dirty kicks
19:12than Carolina.
19:13Yes.
19:14Brandon Aubrey probably the most
19:15talented kicker in all of the
19:16NFL between what he can do on
19:17kickoffs and then of course
19:19with the best leg in the league.
19:21Feels like we're going to have a
19:22special teams conversation a
19:23couple of times in this game
19:24based on what these two teams
19:25have done and can do.
19:28Here's young starting to run out
19:30of time so he rolls out of the
19:32pocket and he's going to take
19:33off and Bryce young with a heady
19:35play as he'll pick up about eight
19:37on the scramble.
19:47taking a profit.
19:48That's something that Bryce Young
19:49has talked to us about.
19:50He's talked to a lot of people
19:51about just take the offense and
19:53take the yardage where it's
19:54available.
19:55Yeah.
19:56You know the basketball analogy
19:57is you don't have to be you know
19:58Steph Curry from three just just
19:59make some layups.
20:00Right.
20:01I think when he's had to make
20:02scramble plays when he's had to
20:03make some creative splash plays.
20:04He's made that maybe more so.
20:06No more so than last week.
20:08It's the plays in between just the
20:10regular consistency of running
20:12the offense.
20:13Weird snap handled by Young
20:15Dowdle pounds it ahead and he's
20:16got the first down.
20:17He's off to an excellent start.
20:21So Matt Eberflus in his first
20:22year back with Dallas now as the
20:24defensive coordinator talked
20:25about a lot of adjustments that
20:26they wanted to make after that
20:27Green Bay game and it seemed
20:29like they were much sharper last
20:30week against the Jets.
20:31They were.
20:32And again in the NFL one week
20:34sample sizes are always hard.
20:36Well you want to see them do it
20:37a few weeks in a row that you
20:39can establish some sort of a
20:40trend.
20:41But in week five in New York
20:43that's as good as this Dallas
20:44defense has played in a long
20:46time.
20:48Right back to Dowdle this time a
20:50short game as he goes into the
20:52teeth of that Dallas front.
20:54I think one of the things that
20:56Matt Eberflus did he made a
20:57couple adjustments.
20:58You know early in the year this
21:00was an exclusively zoned type team.
21:03Deron Bland was still banged up.
21:05Trayvon Diggs is still trying to
21:06get his legs under him.
21:07The man style that we were
21:08accustomed to seeing under Dan
21:09Quinn was a little bit of a
21:11transition.
21:12They're using more line games
21:13getting defensive line free
21:15rushers at the quarterback.
21:17Last week looked a lot more of
21:19what Eberflus envisions for this
21:20defense.
21:21Young the pump to get a defender
21:23in the air and then launches it
21:25away with a penalty marker
21:26thrown.
21:27They're going to get a legal man
21:28downfield.
21:29That's the old college RPO until
21:32you realize the rules are
21:33different.
21:34In college it's an offensive
21:35lineman or any ineligible
21:36player three yards on the line
21:38of scrimmage in the NFL it's
21:39only one yard cushion.
21:40I think they're going to get
21:42Damian Lewis here the left
21:43guard big free agent signing a
21:45year ago.
21:46Ineligible member of the
21:47offense downfield illegally
21:49number 60.
21:51That penalty is declined third
21:53down.
21:54They'll decline that penalty
21:55because it's going to set up a
21:56third down and long instead it's
21:58only one opportunity to pick up
21:59a first down here for Carolina
22:00instead of two.
22:02So the guy that's come to life
22:03for this.
22:05Front from Dallas number 53 James
22:07Houston their leader in sacks
22:09with three and a half.
22:10He was an unknown back in training
22:12camp.
22:13They let Micah Parsons go.
22:14They use him on a lot of twists a
22:17lot of stunt games had a big game
22:19last week against the Jets.
22:24Here he comes.
22:26Young throws the other way and
22:28is caught by Tedaroa McMillan
22:30past the sticks digs knocked him
22:32back.
22:33But it's going to be good enough
22:34for a first out past the 41 yard
22:36line.
22:37You know I thought all week like
22:38who is a good comp for Tedaroa
22:40McMillan first round pick out of
22:43Arizona.
22:44He kind of reminds me of like an
22:45AJ Green.
22:46Okay.
22:47Right.
22:48I think a lot of people think
22:49maybe a Mike Evans I think he's
22:50a little faster than Evans but
22:51he's big he's long he's a great
22:52hands catcher.
22:54I think digs just giving him a
22:56little bit too much of a cushion
22:57there on third and long and
23:00worried about getting run by.
23:03Right back to McMillan that's out
23:04of his hands and picked off by
23:06Donovan Wilson.
23:07Wilson with a little bit of an
23:11alley.
23:12He stepped out of bounds as he
23:13has his second interception of
23:14the season penalty markers are
23:16thrown.
23:24That's the old announcers jinx I
23:26mean that was almost you can't
23:28make this up.
23:29Right.
23:30Just talking about how good he
23:31is catching the ball plucking it
23:32with his hands and this and that's
23:34going to go down as a pick against
23:35Bryce Young.
23:36Bryce Young.
23:37It's just a drop.
23:39The opportunistic style of this
23:41Cowboys defense.
23:42After the play was over personal
23:44foul unnecessary roughness
23:45Carolina number five.
23:47That penalty will be enforced
23:49afterwards to the goal.
23:51First down.
23:53A penalty on the former Cowboy
23:54Rico Dowdle after the pick.
23:56Yeah just a simple slant route.
23:58He's got off coverage to the
23:59short side of the field.
24:00He puts it right on his face mask
24:02and just drops it and nice job
24:06there by Wilson getting up and
24:07then obviously the former
24:09teammate Rico Dowdle.
24:10He comes in.
24:11He didn't even hit Wilson.
24:12He just hit somebody in a Cowboys
24:14uniform.
24:15He didn't care who it was.
24:17That'll just try to take out a
24:24defender.
24:25The first one he saw.
24:29So this sets up Dak Prescott and
24:31the Cowboy offense inside the
24:3215 yard line.
24:37We'll fix the clock here at a
24:39couple more seconds to it.
24:46So they stalled in the red zone on
24:48their last series but they get to
24:49set up first and 10.
24:51From about the 12.
24:59Early turnovers a problem for
25:00Carolina all year.
25:01Cowboys looking to take advantage.
25:03Check it down for Williams grabbed
25:05by Roseboom and Wallace.
25:07And they'll mark him at the eight.
25:09Pedro Avero the defensive coordinator.
25:16Dave Canales decided to retain him
25:20last year this Carolina defense
25:21set an NFL record the most points
25:23given up in a single season.
25:24Obviously Canales has a lot of
25:26faith in him.
25:27His pedigree his tree.
25:28They're going to make you throw the
25:32ball short of the end zone and run
25:34it in.
25:35They want it.
25:36They pride themselves on not
25:37letting you catch the ball in the
25:38end zone.
25:39This is a disaster here for this.
25:40Lot of movement.
25:41Seven guys moving at once.
25:43Oh I can't wait for the John
25:44Hussey call.
25:45False start.
25:46Offense number 73.
25:47Five yard penalty.
25:48Second down.
25:49If they didn't call Tyler Smith for a
25:50false start they were going to get
25:51an illegal.
25:52Illegal shift.
25:53Illegal motion.
25:54I wanted everybody but the center.
25:55Just personally I wanted everybody
25:56but the center there.
25:57That's a good one.
25:58That's a good one.
25:59So push him back.
26:00Basically negate the game.
26:01What's better.
26:02Everyone but the center.
26:03Or excuse me I'm talking to
26:04America.
26:05I actually called that game.
26:06That's right you did.
26:07That was incredible.
26:08That's a good one.
26:09So push him back.
26:10Basically negate the game.
26:11What's better.
26:12Everyone but the center.
26:13That's right you did.
26:14That was incredible.
26:16So it's second and 11 now.
26:17Back at the 13.
26:21Here's Williams.
26:22So he gets that yardage back in a
26:24little more.
26:25Now third down.
26:26You can still pick up a first down
26:28just inside the three.
26:30But Brian Ray who came back last
26:32week from injury was there on the
26:33stop.
26:34I spent so much time talking about
26:36the new kind of dirty kicks and
26:38the kickoff rules and all that.
26:39It has a big bearing.
26:40I know this isn't a goal to go
26:42situation but here inside the 10
26:44bomb the seven four down
26:46territory has to creep into your
26:48brain.
26:50With these new touch back rules.
26:52You don't gain as much.
26:55Field position like you used to
26:56in the old system.
26:59Prescott fires it short of the
27:01goal line maybe short of the
27:03sticks.
27:04Roseboom was there for the stop on
27:06Ferguson.
27:07Let's see where they mark him.
27:08It's seemingly short of the line
27:09to gain.
27:10And if it's fourth down and short
27:12maybe a consideration to go for
27:13it on the other side of the
27:15quarter break.
27:16Yeah.
27:17You got to imagine back here.
27:18He sees the clock winding down
27:1910 seconds.
27:20Is this a situation get up there.
27:22See if you can make Carolina jump
27:24go fast and then you can talk it
27:26through during the quarter change.
27:28Yeah they'll take it to the end of the
27:32first 15.
27:34Interesting call coming up on the
27:35other side to start the second
27:37quarter.
27:38Interesting first quarter both teams
27:39with a couple of long drives and a
27:413-3 tie.
27:45I checked Allstate first and saved
27:51hundreds on my car insurance.
27:52Please welcome Charles Woodson.
27:55Unfortunately I didn't check to see
27:57if anyone was watching before I
27:59stole cotton candy from a child.
28:01Checking Allstate first was really
28:04smart.
28:05Not checking the Jumbotron.
28:08Not smart.
28:09Well at least I checked Allstate
28:11first and saved hundreds.
28:13Was it worth it?
28:16Yeah.
28:17Simple games.
28:18Serious money.
28:1999 to beat.
28:20All new Wednesdays on Fox.
28:24This brain is 4% larger than
28:26average.
28:27From launching FS1's daily shows.
28:29Colin Cowherd.
28:30Engineered to activate your logical
28:32thinking and decision making.
28:33Here.
28:34Here.
28:35And definitely here.
28:36Bam!
28:37First things first.
28:38Here.
28:39It's thought processing.
28:40Over stimulated.
28:41Beautiful.
28:42And this.
28:43This.
28:44Is the chaos zone.
28:45Triggered by Barstool.
28:46How dare you!
28:47They hit the abstract center.
28:48Where play.
28:49And instinct live.
28:50Weak gaze on FS1.
28:52No brainer.
28:56Michigan.
28:57Takes on Washington.
28:59It's big news Saturday.
29:00It's big news Saturday.
29:01On Fox.
29:02Greg we've talked about all these new touchback rules.
29:06It seemingly has changed how play callers think about situations like this.
29:11Fourth and one.
29:12Inside the five.
29:13Yeah.
29:14Cause you talk about the trade off.
29:15Worst case scenario is you fail on fourth down.
29:17But then you have to look at the yardage you give up for three points.
29:22You could give up 31 yards of field position if you kicked a traditional touchback after a field goal.
29:29So this is almost a 100% goal for Dallas.
29:33Dak Prescott floats it.
29:35Hunter Lipke the fullback with a touchdown.
29:38The first reception for a touchdown in his NFL career.
29:42They were going for it the whole way and they find their fullback.
29:53That's a good play design.
29:55They're going to send left key in motion.
29:57You can see that.
29:58Starts his man.
29:59They bump it off.
30:02Jalen Tolbert number one.
30:04He's the backside receiver.
30:05He runs interference.
30:06Remember that contact can happen within a yard of the line of scrimmage without being past interference.
30:11And really good play call fourth down.
30:17Hunter Lipke the fullback.
30:20Ends up getting the first reception for a touchdown in his NFL career.
30:26Third year man out of North Dakota State an undrafted free agent.
30:30Does the dirty work and now gets the score.
30:35For adults with obesity.
30:37Hunter Lipke man is he the perfect fullback or what.
30:40Two time state wrestling champion in Wisconsin.
30:43Comes from a place called Spencer.
30:45Only about 2,000 people from his hometown.
30:48And Dak Prescott finds Lipke for his first career reception for a touchdown.
30:52He's had to grind his way as a special teamer and as a fullback.
30:55Does a lot of dirty work.
30:57And he gets rewarded with a score there.
30:59This time Aubrey's kick just gets into the end zone.
31:02So it'll be a touch back.
31:04Back to the touchdown.
31:05Yeah.
31:06So Jalen Tolbert.
31:07He's the key here.
31:08It's great awareness.
31:09He knows that Trayvon Merrig.
31:11When when Lepke goes in motion and they don't run with them.
31:16They know that when he gets to the front side of the play that Merrig's gonna have him in man.
31:20He knows that contact can be within one yard of the line of scrimmage.
31:23That is a legal run.
31:24A legal rub play.
31:26Now if they would have ran in motion with Lepke.
31:29Then he would have tried to go run interference for whoever the defender running in motion.
31:33So Tolbert's got the big job there having awareness.
31:36And that's really well executed.
31:40So that touch back with the new rules.
31:42Now out to the 35 yard line.
31:44You saw how close Aubrey got to having that in the landing zone.
31:47Right back to Rico down.
31:49Oh boy he is running angry today.
31:5111 yards to the 46 yard line.
31:54A very productive first half for Dowdle.
31:57Yeah.
31:58Oh so.
31:59Diggy Zua.
32:00Him and Kenny Clark.
32:01They're two really good interior tackles.
32:03He just picks the wrong stunt.
32:05He tries to backdoor the left tackle.
32:07Ikea Quanu and makes that front side double team block pretty much pretty easy.
32:13I mean he just runs around the block.
32:15You get up to the second level and pick up the first down.
32:18It's averaging seven and a half a carry.
32:20That's three yards better than league average right now.
32:23And they are leaning on Rico down who gets another about seven and a half or so on that Gary.
32:29Yeah.
32:30It just it brings up though Adam.
32:32It brings up an interesting conversation right.
32:34This is what Carolina does best.
32:37Yes.
32:38The problem is around the league if you're not going to generate explosive plays.
32:42Now they got them last week in the 200 yard plus performance when they came back and beat Miami.
32:47That's the key.
32:48It's not so much the gross yardage on the ground.
32:50If you don't generate explosives.
32:52A long sustaining run game.
32:55It just doesn't always lead to a lot of points.
32:57The game is being stopped for a medical timeout.
33:01Medical timeout here.
33:02Interesting.
33:03It's going to be Shamar James.
33:10They're going to make him leave the field.
33:14Obviously that came in.
33:15Right.
33:16So the process of that Adam for those at home that don't know.
33:19There are medical consultants watching every play every player from upstairs.
33:24They can signal down to the referees on the field stop play if they feel like a player needs any sort of additional medical attention.
33:33And obviously Shamar James was showing some sort of issue that made them want to just take them off and take a look.
33:40You see James right there.
33:43The head maybe into the backside of Marquis Bell.
33:46Yeah.
33:48I just like that they play it safe.
33:50You see him there kind of shaking his head before they lift it.
33:53That's the body language.
33:54They're just going to make sure they clear before they let James stay in the game.
34:00So second down and three from plus territory for Carolina.
34:04Lee Get in motion.
34:06Off the fake.
34:07Bryce Young finds Lee Get.
34:09And he's got a convoy of blockers.
34:11A first down and more inside the 35.
34:14I'll tell you what, this was really impressive.
34:20Damian Lewis, Cade Mays, the center and the left guard and the Nikki Aquana, the left tackle.
34:25This screen does not really hit the perfect timing.
34:28They do a great job not going downfield.
34:31They just stay in phase with Lee Get.
34:33They continue to work laterally.
34:35And then once Lee Get catches that ball, he's giving them a go call.
34:38And how often do we see the linemen get out so early that the screen just doesn't match up.
34:44That was really well done.
34:45Speaks to some of the continuity on this Carolina offensive line despite the injuries.
34:51A little toss play Rico Donald blocking from Damian Lewis and Donald with another excellent run as he takes it down to the 20 yard line.
35:03Yes, he had six carries of 10 yards or more last week.
35:08And that's the explosive element of a run game that actually does lead to scoring points.
35:13McMillian trying to make up for his deflected pass.
35:17Does a nice job there on the outside on Leofau, the linebacker.
35:21And that was able to just kind of cut it back.
35:24He ends up tripping over his own guy there.
35:27There might have been some more yards there.
35:29He left there on the bone.
35:31He's already got 64 on eight carries.
35:33There's that orbit motion from McMillan again.
35:36Right back to Dallow.
35:37And this time good penetration by the safety Donovan Wilson who already has an interception today.
35:45Carolina's offensive line is missing their center and right guard, their normal center and right guard.
35:50Austin Corbin suffered a knee injury against Arizona.
35:53Robert Hunt had that torn bicep issue.
35:56They spent a lot of money on this offensive line.
35:58But Cade Mays and Brady Christensen, the very versatile Christensen, have filled in.
36:02Nobody in the league spends more money on their offensive line than the Panthers.
36:09And really try to build around Bryce Young.
36:11And we're good.
36:15Empty set.
36:16Five in the pattern.
36:17Young floats it.
36:18End zone.
36:19McMillan his first NFL touchdown.
36:21It took his 26th catch as a rookie to finally get his first score.
36:40And the Panthers are within one.
36:42And you can just see Dave Canales meets him on the sideline.
36:45Bryce knows exactly where he's going.
36:48He gets the exact look he wants.
36:50Double move on the dig pump.
36:52And no McMillan after that early drop.
36:55First touchdown of his career.
36:57He's going to hang on to that ball.
37:01And this game is tied up at 10 apiece.
37:04So much positive talk around Ted Aroa McMillan.
37:08The number eight pick out of Arizona.
37:10The highest player drafted ever from that Wildcat program.
37:15They say he plays like a savvy veteran.
37:17He slipped to the back of the end zone for a Bryce Young floater to tie this game.
37:21Let it start.
37:27Football.
37:28Baseball.
37:29Obviously football.
37:30He's a true athlete who's already got.
37:32His teammates talking about how savvy.
37:35He is so intelligent.
37:36And I'm sure they're happy that they could finally get him into the end zone.
37:46Consensus All-American led the country.
37:48Over the last two seasons in college football over 2,700 receiving yards for Ted Aroa McMillan.
38:01Last couple of years Carolina has spent some first round picks on those receivers.
38:06Xavier Lee get the number 32 pick two years ago and then a top eight pick in McMillan.
38:11Fitzgerald with a side winding kick into the hands of Jayden Blue and excellent coverage.
38:17By the Panthers.
38:19All right.
38:20So take a look at Donovan Wilson on that last touchdown.
38:23This is just typical.
38:24They call it rap.
38:25It's going to be a sit by Lee get and then it looks like a dig by Ted Aroa McMillan.
38:30Anytime you're in the tight red zone they teach Wilson here stay flat.
38:34He's jumping thinking this is going to be his dig and he's going to try to rob it.
38:39He sticks his foot in the ground.
38:41Protection is clean and that's like how they drew it up in Friday red zone seven on seven.
38:47They tell the scout team they jump the dig.
38:49We want to leave today with some confidence.
38:50That's what it looks like.
38:52That is Jayden Blue rookie out of Texas their fifth round pick who made his NFL debut last week.
39:00Miles Sanders the former Carolina Panther who was the backup to Javonte Williams.
39:05He went to IR with a season ending injury so Jayden Blue is going to get some more run.
39:11A Texas native who played his college ball for the Longhorns.
39:28There's Prescott.
39:30Pickens on the comeback.
39:31He's got a first down and Mike Jackson had to drag him down.
39:34If Pickens gets away he's got big yardage coming.
39:37It's a pickup of eleven though and a first down for Dallas.
39:40It's just simple off coverage.
39:44Kind of another staple this Carolina defense.
39:47High shell coverages.
39:48Lot of cushion.
39:49Lot of space.
39:50They typically don't get up and challenge the receivers very often unless it's man coverage.
39:55We saw that in the first quarter.
39:58And JC Horn up against George Pickens on the long acrobatic catch to run.
40:07Here's Blue.
40:08Here's Blue.
40:09And a good job in pursuit by Prince Lee Uman Mielin the rookie out of Mississippi.
40:16A third round pick who's played a lot of snaps as of late.
40:20They like him on that outside with pursuit.
40:22Yeah Uman Mielin.
40:23He's just unblocked.
40:24It's a simple wham play.
40:26They wham the nose A'shaun Robinson from the outside in.
40:29They just don't account for the speed off the edge.
40:33Nice job running that thing down.
40:35They like him.
40:36He's dynamic.
40:37He can run.
40:38He's active off the edge.
40:39Kind of plays like a hybrid outside linebacker defensive end type.
40:45I think Mike Jackson is pointing out in a legal shift maybe two players were moving at the same time.
40:52False start.
40:53Offense number 33.
40:54Yeah I think Javante Williams just clinched.
40:56Second down.
40:57Yeah because Tolbert went in motion.
40:59Javante Williams in an empty set was lined up wide and he kind of moved while Tolbert was going in motion.
41:05So could have been shift could have been motion.
41:06They ended up getting a false start on the running back.
41:08Dallas the third most penalized team in the NFL in terms of yardage and that's their second false start today.
41:16So yeah.
41:17If it was two guys going in shift they are allowed to get set so clearly the official thought he was going forward.
41:23Hence the false start.
41:25Now second and long for Prescott.
41:27He'll check it down and Williams gets spun down by Trayvon Merrig.
41:32So another third and long coming up.
41:36Cowboys one of the better third down teams in terms of efficiency but this is tough sledding on third and eleven.
41:45They're one for four on third down so far today.
41:50And Carolina doing exactly what you talked about.
41:52Put your third and long.
41:53We'll step back.
41:54Rally to the ball.
41:55Make you throw it in front of us.
41:56Rally tackle.
41:57Carolina wants every tackle to be from high to low.
42:00Limit yards after catch.
42:02Do not let Dak throw the ball over your head.
42:06We'll bring one extra body.
42:09Prescott throws on the move for Ferguson.
42:11What a play by JC Horn.
42:14But there is a flag thrown from the near side of the field.
42:18And Horn who's already been penalized once today thought that the penalty was on him immediately because he went to the official and was pleading a case.
42:27Let's see what the call is from John Hussey the veteran referee.
42:33Let's take another look at it.
42:46Ferguson's on the backside.
42:47He's going to give a chip and then just run like a late delay back across the middle.
42:56He grabbed his right arm a little bit initially out of the break.
43:01Probably doesn't have to do that right.
43:03You're one of the premier corners in the league against the tight end.
43:07No offense to my fellow tight ends but probably didn't have to grab his right arm.
43:13That's what the official saw.
43:16That's back breaking for this Carolina defense.
43:18You think you get off the field again and now Dallas is pretty much in field goal range.
43:23Some point territory not too far away from it.
43:29They'll swing it out for Flannoy.
43:31And it ends up being Le'Brien Ray who knocks him down in plus territory.
43:35So yeah you're at the 48 yard line now.
43:37That is easily seemingly maybe not easily.
43:40But Brandon Aubrey's been very good from this range.
43:43So this would be from here like a 66 yard field goal a couple more yards.
43:47You're right there.
43:48You brought up that week two game against the Giants in Dallas that the Cowboys won.
43:52The Cowboys won in overtime.
43:54They settled at the end of regulation for a 64 yard field goal.
43:58They settled for it because they thought they were clearly in Aubrey's range.
44:02It was pretty remarkable in person.
44:05Williams trying to shift and maneuver but Derrick Brown ends up with a tackle.
44:10Good penetration for the rest of that front.
44:12And Brown is cleaned up to make the play.
44:14One game played last year before the season ending injury.
44:17He makes such a difference up front for Carolina.
44:20I mentioned how much Carolina struggled last year.
44:23Worst defense in the league.
44:25Significant improvement.
44:26They find themselves kind of in the middle of the pack.
44:28A big reason for that is getting Derrick Brown back his ability to control those inner gaps in the run.
44:35He can win with speed, strength, quickness.
44:38The next phase is just getting this front to be able to rush the passer.
44:42Empty set for Prescott.
44:44Steps up in the pocket.
44:45Delivers to Pickens.
44:46First down in front of Mike Jackson.
44:48All the way down to the 35 of Carolina.
44:51Second they send that exit motion pre-snap.
44:57You see the exit motion here on the side by Flannoy.
45:00It's just immediate by Dak.
45:02He knows this is man coverage.
45:04He's got one-on-one in the slot.
45:06George Pickens on side slot corner there, Mike Jackson.
45:11And you just can't give Dak those easy alerts pre and post-snap.
45:16Because if he knows what coverage you're in by the time he hits the top of his drop, you're in trouble.
45:25My guess is this is going to the right.
45:29It is.
45:30It's a run for Williams.
45:32Or Blue, beg your pardon.
45:33And good penetration again.
45:35Mike Jackson from the cornerback spot was there to kind of flatten out Jaden Blue.
45:40And then he gets some help to finish him off for a loss of two.
45:42Yeah, again, just die a slow death.
45:44This is who Carolina wants to be today.
45:48You hear Dak Prescott.
45:49He's kill, kill.
45:50And he calls it true.
45:52Sorry, Dak.
45:53I'm calling you out here.
45:54You're going to have to change your code words.
45:55That's like universal east-west, true, false.
45:59Typically, those are just easy one words.
46:01People use fire and ice.
46:03I mean, there's a handful that go around the league.
46:06True to the right has an R, false has an L.
46:09Yep.
46:10Where would you think that is?
46:11Google your favorite antonyms and you'll probably find a good pair.
46:13There you go.
46:14Prescott off the back foot.
46:16Had to float it ahead for Luke Schoonmaker.
46:18Makes his fifth catch of the season.
46:20He gets some of that yardage back.
46:22So it'll set up third down and medium from the 30-yard line.
46:26Clearly in field goal range right now for Dallas.
46:29Prescott off to an excellent start.
46:31He's 12 for 15.
46:32He's been pretty much that efficient all season long.
46:39Completing better than 70% of his passes.
46:42The NFL record for a year is 74%.
46:50Completed four out of every five so far today.
46:52Third and four.
46:57Prescott.
46:58Taking a deep shot.
46:59And incomplete for Pickens.
47:01He had Mike Jackson.
47:03.
47:04.
47:05.
47:06.
47:07.
47:08.
47:09.
47:10.
