Gentlemen, this is a distinct to part Siris of questions one has to do with the team that won Arizona and they live in, if not the best division in football.

Lewis, Where does this cardinal team, in your estimation, fit in out west?

Look, they're gonna be right there all the way to the end.

Because I think tonight, Scott, they found their identity.

And that is they want to be, Ah, hard nosed, tough football team.

They don't want it to be just a throwing football team.

And look, Cliff Kingsbury made that point to us very definitively.

And you saw tonight with the way they ran the football and the way Kenyan Drake ran the football.

So I think if they could do that and your starting quarterback and go 9 24 I think that what that's telling you, You're pretty well around the football team and you compete with anyone.

We learned something tonight from the Arizona Cardinals.

Vance Joseph called a very aggressive game, which we didn't know how he was going to call it coming in with all the weapons that Dallas has on the offensive side.

But if this defense, which was one of the worst in the NFL a year ago, if they can continue to improve now, I think Arizona might have something going in the NFC West.

There was a capable starter for many years with Cincinnati.

And that goes down and you've got a guy who's done it, at least, and there were many that thought you could plug him in and it might look something like the Dallas offense had looked.

Where does Dallas go after a performance like this?

You know, I I can't put it all at the feet of Andy Dalton Scott.

I anticipated that he would come in and play better.

Now there were a lot of factors that went into that.

This team broke down because of the lack of leadership on the offensive side.

They missed Dak more than they recognized Ezekiel Elliott.

You can't put the ball on the ground two times in the first half, and now you're down 21 to nothing.

Your best players a K Zeke Elliot, have to play their best games, and they didn't tonight.

It was a collective effort from the Cowboys tonight, where they go from here.

It is not an easy answer because Tyron Smith not walking back through the door, lay O'Collins Travis Frederick upfront.

So on the offensive line they'll get Zack Martin back.

But they have to look at this film, and in particular, Kelly Moore has to find a way to get more production.

That pretty much sums up because, look, there's not, you know, what?

It really is going to come down to leadership.

And I know that sounds simplistic, but it's also the reality leadership from ownership leadership from the coaching staff leadership from the best players on this team is Brian was referencing.

You have to say, Look, I wasn't good enough tonight.

I carry the fortunes of the franchise in my hands every time I run the ball.

Michael Gallops had to say, I gotta make those plays.

Mari Cooper's got to say, I gotta break a big one CD lamb.

All those guys have to make up for some of the shortcomings that they have, because if there's one thing every team is saying this year is this.

And although their offensive line's been decimated and their defense has been poor, there's no excuse your in a week division find a way to get it done.

Because if you don't you're gonna be facing those same questions that really people ask of Dallas every year.

What is going on down there in the off season?

Dallas has all these guys that can score points Dallas, Dallas, Dallas, Dallas.

And then they have a performance like this.

They gotta figure out a way because there's no excuses this year.

Yeah, but they get the good news for them.

Is there in a lousy, lousy division in fellas?

It's not yet Halloween, and so we know that things can change.

I just ask you guys both as you just take inventory of the NFC East Lewis and you could start.

Who do you think becomes that team that becomes better and wins this horrible division?

But you know what a great that's a finance I'll take.

You know, it's an honest answer, But I'll tell you this just for the sake of like having a discussion, who do I think?

You have to get Philadelphia the benefit of the doubt because of the fact that they have a Super Bowl winning head coach.

They have a They still have their franchise quarterback who almost led them to a victory, and they still have some good pieces, although they're getting hit with injuries to.

That's where that's where I would put my money.

I would, but I wouldn't put a lot a lot of money.

My money with these teams put a lot of money.

I would take two teams out of the NFC West, Scotty and nobody out of the East.

Maybe we need to make that change, Okay, That's not a lot of law and Louis, you keep your hands out of my pocket, okay?

I'm not putting any money on anybody either.

I look, it's a mess, But at least look, there's other divisions.

Were two and four, you'd be done, but Dallas can wake up and go.

Maybe, gentlemen, I'll talk to you guys next week.
