| 0:00.0 | Morning, Ed. |
| 0:01.4 | Good morning, gentlemen. |
| 0:02.5 | How are we? |
| 0:03.6 | Doing well. |
| 0:04.9 | You've seen a lot of different games over the last 30 years or so around here. |
| 0:10.5 | That Cowboys Giants game, man, what an upside down game that was. |
| 0:17.0 | And I guess one that the Cowboys were fortunate to win. |
| 0:22.1 | Well, it was certainly an entertaining fourth quarter with 41 points being scored and seven lead changes, which tied the most in NFL history. |

| 1:27.9 | You don't want to say must win in week two, although I did. |
| 1:31.1 | But I thought it was definitely essential for Brian Schottenheimer to be holding that game ball |
| 1:36.7 | and celebrating his first NFL victory under the circumstances. |
| 1:41.0 | So from what you've seen through a couple of weeks now, and in particular, this Giants game, |
| 1:46.4 | what is at the root of the problem or problems right now for this Cowboys defense? |
| 1:52.0 | Well, I think the first thing, you know, you have to keep in mind is that they were a terrible defense last year. |
