| 0:00.0 | The Cowboys showed up yesterday against the Jets. |
| 0:02.5 | They get the big win on the road. |
| 0:05.3 | The offense was fantastic, and we will talk about that coming up at 1015. |
| 0:09.4 | But that defense, the defense coming into the game in the first four weeks, had five sacks total combined. |
| 0:18.1 | They had five sacks yesterday against the Jets. |
| 0:20.8 | They had the forced |
| 0:21.8 | fumble from Maris Leofau that Sam Williams picked up. They had 14 quarterback hits. |
| 0:28.0 | And it's interesting to hear Schottenheimer talk about this during the week. We're going to |
| 0:32.6 | tweak things. We're going to listen to what the players are saying. Simplify. |
| 0:36.9 | Simplify. He and Iber flus, because I think it was Friday when we talked about this of Trayvon Diggs wanting to play more man and going to the coaches and asking to play more man. He and Blay and both. And it kind of felt like Iber Fluse and Schottenheimer, at least with their public comments, were saying, hey, that's cute, but this is what we're going to do.

| 1:11.3 | And that's what it's all about. |
| 1:12.7 | So the 14 hits on |
| 1:15.0 | John's, six, seven seconds to unload the football, he's going to pick you apart. |
| 1:11.4 | And that's what it's all about. |
| 1:12.5 | So the 14 hits on Justin Fields is pretty good. |
| 1:16.8 | But I will tell you this much, there's no way. |
| 1:20.0 | And let's just assume that half of Justin Fields rushes were him dropping back to pass |
| 1:27.0 | and then having to take off because he couldn't find anyone. |
| 1:29.6 | So that will mean that he dropped it back to pass 54 times. |
| 1:35.4 | That is a recipe for disaster for a lot of NFL teams. |
| 1:40.0 | Definitely the Jets with Justin Fields. |
