Michael Irvin is very impressed with Cowboys rookie running back Ezekiel Elliott. But he may have offered Cowboys fans a little too much detail in talking about him.

In an interview on 105.3 The Fan on Monday, Irvin said listening to Elliott talk about his own physical style of running makes him a little -- ahem -- excited.

"I'm telling you, when I listen to this boy talk about running the football like that, it just makes me want to go in the bathroom and spend some time by myself," Irvin said. "I just love it so much."

"He walks up and down that sideline, when he's giving everyone fives, you hear what he says? 'Physical! Let's by physical! We're gonna be physical!' His interviews, 'We're gonna out-physical everybody.' Physical physical physical," Irvin told the station. "You match that up with that offensive line, that mentality from the running back with that offensive line as good as they are, you have connectivity. They say 'all we gotta do is lay on em.' He's gonna come and lay on em. If I blocked it for 1 yard, he'll make it 4. If I block for 4, he'll make it 60 because they have that connectivity."

Irvin said that the Cowboys seem to have the right formula for winning, and he lists the Cowboys as the NFC's second-best team, right behind Minnesota.

"It's just the way the NFL that we are in now, this is the formula for great winning," Irvin said. "We're playing efficient football from the quarterback position. And Dak gets a lot of love, but let's not take the focus from where it should be. And that's on that physical run game."

And since everything seems to be working in the Cowboys' favor at this point, Irvin has a message for North Texans.

"Whatever everybody's been doing throughout the Metroplex, keep doing it! Keep doing exactly what you've been doing. The mojo's working."
