But Rob, there's a lot 29 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 1: of work to do before you take on the Seattle 30 00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 1: Seahawks coming up this Sunday, y'all had I had a 31 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 1: fan hit while y'all were talking, and I missed everything. 32 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 1: Y'all are still laughing, like, let let the listener in. 33 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,640 Speaker 1: What are we talking about here? So we were we 34 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 1: were waiting on you. We had of course every Tuesday, 35 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 1: Rob's on the fan, and this is why I was 36 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: just flustered to start the show first off. But I 37 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 1: think we need to peel the curtain back. Yeah, let's 38 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,679 Speaker 1: peel the curtain back. So we're talking to Isaiah and 39 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 1: we're talking about how he's he's from Washington, right, I mean, 40 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 1: this is a guy who played for the University of 41 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 1: Washington Huskies for life. He were the were the Purple 42 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: and Gold with pride. But he also has some allegiance 43 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 1: to the Seattle Seahawks as well. As we're leading into 44 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 1: that week. Now, he's a Cowboys fan too, don't get 45 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 1: them wrong, but Seattle's home and that's what he was 46 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 1: kind of talking about. And we started giving him a 47 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 1: little flak. Heckmun I talking about how there's a little 48 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 1: bit of there's more of the cheer for the check 49 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: mentality right now. I mean, look what we're We're talking Cowboys, 50 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,359 Speaker 1: We're not talking Seahawks. And so we start to give 51 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 1: in Isaiah a little flat here, and of course heading 52 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: into the week, and he wanted to remind us that 53 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,359 Speaker 1: you can get checks other ways too, and one of 54 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,959 Speaker 1: the ways that he does it is on Cameo, the 55 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 1: the app that you have on your phone where you 56 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 1: can record special messages via a paycheck for certain check 57 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 1: for for a whopping twenty five ninety nine, you can 58 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 1: get Isaiah to personalize a message for you or your 59 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 1: family member or your friend and you can basically tell 60 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 1: him what to say, and we pulled one up right before. 61 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: What can I say? What? What was that? I'm a 62 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: cheap date? You know, you know I'm easy. I said, 63 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: you give him to me ninety nine. I got you. 64 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 1: Hey man, every every little bit helps, right, I mean 65 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: why not? You know what, I've only seen that one 66 00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: time and I can't remember the name of the celebrity, 67 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: but it was basically he was taking money to to 68 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 1: break up with somebody's girlfriend on the website. So I 69 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 1: don't know you go that far or not. That's not true. 70 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 1: After today's show, maybe I'm sure. I'm qui. I just 71 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: started on there, so hey, we're gonna find out what happens, 72 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 1: oh man. But yeah, I mean we were. We were 73 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,159 Speaker 1: we were cackling at the fact of of Isaiah being 74 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: on cameo and he was talking about cankles on one 75 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 1: of his his preview videos as it's hilarious. We're not 76 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 1: we're not trying to plug it so that Isaiah gets paid. 77 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,919 Speaker 1: We're just plugging it getting funny, and we're not gonna 78 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:40,840 Speaker 1: we're not gonna talk about how he gets these other checks. 79 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 1: We ain't gonna talk about that let's going to go 80 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,720 Speaker 1: to the next Yeah, we can't, can't mention that one 81 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 1: on air, but glad you are. You guys are all 82 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: having fun with us here on this Tuesday. But uh, 83 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 1: but yeah, let's get into this this matchup, Rob or 84 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 1: I guess the week ahead. I mean, there's a lot 85 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,160 Speaker 1: of injury issues when it comes to the Dallas Cowboys 86 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,160 Speaker 1: and it comes to Tyrne Smith in the tackle position. 87 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,599 Speaker 1: I've heard from around the Star that they expect him 88 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 1: to be ready to go. I've heard good news when 89 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: it comes to Tyrant Smith dealing with a couple of stingers. 90 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy talked about it a little bit, and then 91 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 1: also Jerry Jones today on the Fan before Rob got 92 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: on the Fan mentioned about Tyrn Smith and dealing with 93 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 1: some of those stingers. But really, Rob, whenever it comes 94 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 1: to injuries right now, the entire NFL is dealing with it. 95 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,719 Speaker 1: We thought the Cowboys had the wrong end of the 96 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: shift in the first week. We two kind of flipped 97 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 1: that script. But what are you hearing in terms of 98 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:36,280 Speaker 1: some of these different nagging things. It's crazy, right, you know. 99 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 1: I think in twenty eleven, coming off the lockout, injuries 100 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 1: went way up across the league, and I don't, you know, 101 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,159 Speaker 1: we'll see, but right now it seems like, you know, 102 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: with no offseason, maybe there's a parallel there, and across 103 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,839 Speaker 1: the league teams are dealing with it. For the Cowboys, 104 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 1: you mentioned Tyrn Smith, and what Jerry said is what 105 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,160 Speaker 1: I've heard too. You know that they thought maybe he 106 00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 1: could play in Week two, and there was some optimism there, 107 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 1: but they ltimately decided, hey, let's give him another week 108 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: because with it you mentioned the stingers, man, that can 109 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 1: be a nagging thing. It can crop back up and 110 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,360 Speaker 1: can bother you all year long. You know, that's what 111 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 1: Lady vander esh was doing with last year, and ultimately 112 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 1: they shut him down, not saying it's the same injury, 113 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: but they want to be real careful there. So I 114 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 1: don't think he's guaranteed to play in Week three, but 115 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: I think there's definitely optimism and see how he does 116 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,600 Speaker 1: throughout the week, and boy, that would you know. While 117 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 1: while Brandon Knight I thought did a nice job. We 118 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 1: talked about that yesterday. It's sure it would be nice 119 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 1: to get things kind of settled down for you upfront 120 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 1: and try to get some of your continuity back. So 121 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 1: we'll see about their DeMarcus Lawrence. We mentioned yesterday, I believe, 122 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,160 Speaker 1: and Mike McCarthy kind of spoke to it. Banged up 123 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 1: his knee in the game. It doesn't sound like they're 124 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,279 Speaker 1: too concerned about at least Jerry didn't indicate that on 125 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: the fan just now. But that's something to watch this 126 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 1: week as well. They just they've got to try to 127 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 1: get healthy upfront, both sides of the ball. I mean, 128 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 1: that's where they you know, they've had some trouble and 129 00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,840 Speaker 1: have tried to kind of do things to counteract it, 130 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 1: but they need some contuity. They're both sides. Yeah, and 131 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: I'm sorry now that's gonna double. Just just gets everybody's 132 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 1: some a little bit of information, a little insight for 133 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 1: those that don't know what a stinger is, okay, and 134 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 1: everybody that might be trying to say, Tyronne or you're 135 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 1: being soft, you know what I'm saying, get out there, 136 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 1: listen up. If you guys have never had a stinger before, 137 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 1: A stinger is essentially when you're you have a pinched nerve, right, 138 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:21,679 Speaker 1: so your body is trying to communicate to your different 139 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 1: body parts right via your nervous system. When that nerve 140 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 1: gets pinched, you get a shooting pain wherever that's at. Right, So, 141 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 1: for instance, I've had one in the neck. It shoots 142 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 1: down and it literally shuts off all functionality of that limb. Right, 143 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 1: you have no function of that limb whatsoever. It is 144 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: painful initially, is very painful initially, and then your body 145 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,239 Speaker 1: literally your brain cannot communicate with that side of your body. 146 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: So for those of you that's saying all he can 147 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 1: get out there and play, No he can't. And that's 148 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 1: that stinger can pop back up at any moment. It 149 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 1: just takes the right type of hit well. And it's 150 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 1: also something complaining about the injury bug. It's hard to 151 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 1: complain about the injury bug affecting us when you look 152 00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 1: around the NFL and show that those acls man a 153 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 1: dime a dozen. Right now, it just seems like everyone 154 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 1: is going down to that injury. But with the news 155 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 1: about Tyren Smith and just looking from the past till now, 156 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 1: I think that we all have just pretty much come 157 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 1: to the fact that we know that Tyren Smith may 158 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: miss a few games throughout the season, but we need 159 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 1: to get him in the rhythm of this office. Having 160 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 1: him miss last week and we pulled out the victory, 161 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 1: thank god for that. But you're right, Brandon Knight did 162 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 1: play really well in his absence, But this week is 163 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:37,079 Speaker 1: a whole nother story, and we absolutely need to have 164 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 1: our stud left tackle well. And it's also that stinger 165 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 1: and that neck issue is something rob that I know 166 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 1: that Tyren Smith's kind of dealt with for quite some time. 167 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 1: I mean, this is something that you mentioned it could 168 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 1: be lagging from week to week, but the fact that 169 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 1: it's also kind of hindered him throughout his career. And 170 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 1: Heckmagreat makes a great point. This is a Cowboys team 171 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 1: that's used to playing without Tyron Smith because over the 172 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 1: last four years he's missed at least three games. He's 173 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 1: played in thirteen games the last four years, and he's 174 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 1: already missed one this year. Hopefully they get him back 175 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,439 Speaker 1: this week because you definitely need him up against a 176 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,559 Speaker 1: stout Seattle defense. I think the defensive line for Seattle 177 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,680 Speaker 1: leaves much to be desired, but that secondary is good 178 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:18,679 Speaker 1: enough to force some issues as well. But whenever, when 179 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 1: you look at the defensive sign of the football, Anthony Brown, 180 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 1: he's on IR for a little bit due to that 181 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 1: rib injury. Cornerback seems a little bit thin here. Jordan 182 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 1: Lewis had an okay game. I'm not going to necessarily 183 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:32,440 Speaker 1: give him a ton of credit because I thought he 184 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 1: was beat on occasion. But whenever you look at this 185 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:39,440 Speaker 1: cornerbank group in the Cowboys secondary, specifically Isaiah, is there 186 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 1: anything that kind of worries you heading into a week 187 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 1: like Seattle where there are some pretty stout wide receivers. 188 00:09:51,040 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 1: Isaiah gotcha. Yeah, no, so I think we have lost 189 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 1: the audio from Isaiah, so Heckman, we'll go to you 190 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,840 Speaker 1: on that question. Is there anything secondary wise that you're 191 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 1: that you're potentially looking at to move forward? Yeah, you know, 192 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:17,960 Speaker 1: I think a lot has been We've we talked a 193 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 1: lot about the dvs the secondary and just knowing coming 194 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 1: into the season that that was going to be a 195 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 1: group that we were looking to get better. We wanted 196 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,679 Speaker 1: more out of them. We definitely needed more ballhawks and 197 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 1: we wanted to turn overs. We got that in the 198 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,560 Speaker 1: first week. From a woozier second week, man, it just 199 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 1: felt like we took a little bit of a step back, 200 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 1: but that I think that's credit to the Atlanta receivers 201 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 1: with Jones and brittley engage. Uh, I just I just 202 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 1: look for Jordan Lewis to take another step. You know, 203 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 1: the higher ankle sprain may have been something that was 204 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 1: limited him. He still didn't look like he was full 205 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 1: fleshed back to himself. So hopefully another week of preparation, 206 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 1: because of another week of which preparation will make him 207 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 1: better for this week because God knows. Man, Uh, last 208 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 1: week button his best showing at all. Yeah, Rob, I 209 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 1: can hear We've got you. Now we don't, we do 210 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:21,320 Speaker 1: not have him. Let's go back to Rob here. Oh well, man, 211 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:26,439 Speaker 1: I want to hear us. I know I'm ready for Isaiah. Yeah, 212 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 1: we got you know you mentioned Anthony Brown. You got 213 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,840 Speaker 1: Cheeto who got banged up I think a hamstring trying 214 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 1: to block a punt on Sunday in the fourth quarters. 215 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 1: So you'll see. You got to see how he is 216 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 1: this week. Um, just every level of their defense has 217 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 1: got somebody banged up. And so you know you're hopeful that, 218 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 1: like I mentioned, tank and get get back and be 219 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 1: and be right. And to me, it starts there and 220 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 1: I watched because I think that impacts what your secondary 221 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 1: is doing. I thought when we talked about it, yesterday 222 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 1: how Matt Ryan just seemed to have too much time 223 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 1: overall in a game setting his feet and surveying the field. 224 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 1: And Mike Nolan spoke to it yesterday. They've got to 225 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 1: be better, not just individually rushing, but better collectively. And 226 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,079 Speaker 1: I don't know if that's talked about enough. With what 227 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 1: you have to do upfront as a defensive line together, 228 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 1: you know, we talk about offensive line continuity, defensive line 229 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,440 Speaker 1: running games, stunts, all those things, trying to free other 230 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 1: guys up to get home on a rush. That's something 231 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:30,319 Speaker 1: they're still trying to work through five weeks after camp started. 232 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 1: And I think that's probably normal with the new scheme, 233 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 1: but they're just they're just not there yet. So you know, 234 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:37,959 Speaker 1: I went back and I watched it, and I thought, 235 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:39,960 Speaker 1: especially late in the game, they did a better job 236 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 1: of forcing Ryan to throw the ball away and getting 237 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 1: out of drives and so there are good things to 238 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,079 Speaker 1: build on. But that's going to help your secondary more 239 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 1: than anything. Help Trayvon Digs more than anything as a 240 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 1: young cornerback going up against you know what is another 241 00:12:55,240 --> 00:13:00,120 Speaker 1: talented Seattle receiving corps. They're really good, Yeah, ktcalm those 242 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 1: coverage who had a few of those cover sacks and 243 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 1: it just seems like we had him and Ryan just 244 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 1: got out of the pocket and tried to run for 245 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,319 Speaker 1: a first down. You know, that second half, it's a 246 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,199 Speaker 1: tailor two halves. Obviously we had the worst first quarter 247 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,200 Speaker 1: in football, but that second half, I think it said 248 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 1: a lot about this defense. And also with Mike Nolan 249 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 1: said yesterday and his presser was basically about Treyvon Digs 250 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 1: and him winning those one on one matchups and talk 251 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 1: about how long he is and how aggressive he is, 252 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 1: and just saying that he's someone that's always touching the 253 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 1: ball and he looks for those opportunities that he's missed 254 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,679 Speaker 1: in the game because we've he's been this close to 255 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:43,079 Speaker 1: two to two interceptions. He's getting close to one this week. Man, 256 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 1: I just looked for that rookie to take that next 257 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 1: step and be as dumbinant as he's been looking in 258 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 1: past coverage. Yeah, and what I saw kind of this 259 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 1: week from from Treyvon Diggs was a lot of what 260 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,240 Speaker 1: I saw on the college tape in Alabama, as well 261 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,560 Speaker 1: as the fact that he's a step behind and he 262 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 1: allowed his athleticism to make up that gap and he 263 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,679 Speaker 1: has that athleticism and that length to be able to 264 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 1: make up that gap. I mean the throw that he 265 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 1: almost intercepted, Heckma, the one that you're alluding to. That 266 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 1: was an awful throw for Matt Ryan. It was underthrown 267 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 1: by about five yards. Treyvon Diggs was beat by at 268 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 1: least two steps there, and the fact that Matt Ryan 269 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 1: underthrew that ball helped treyvon Diggs almost come up with 270 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 1: an interception one that I think was kind of a 271 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 1: oh look at what I found type of thing where 272 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 1: he was a little surprised, and the fact that the 273 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 1: ball was hitting him in the hands exactly. But that's 274 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 1: the thing with Treyvon Diggs that you have to get 275 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 1: him up to speed in is being able to have 276 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 1: that step initially so that way he doesn't have to 277 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 1: make up that ground later on, because that's really what 278 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 1: he's having to do is play a lot of catchup. 279 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 1: And I think overall it's it's something that he's gonna 280 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 1: learn and it's something that these receivers are teaching him 281 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 1: right now. DK Mattcap quite possibly one of the best 282 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 1: deep threats in all of the NFL right now coming 283 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:58,480 Speaker 1: up here on Sunday with the Seattle Seahawks.

They sent me a text message 336 00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,400 Speaker 1: after after the game and has said, we're hooked.

But they had 341 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 1: a ton of fun. Who wouldn't at that game? I mean, really, 342 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 1: the fact that you had that kind of more memories 343 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:21,080 Speaker 1: being made in that game, man, that was a blast 344 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,960 Speaker 1: for them. But we're getting into two fans on the fifty. 345 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 1: It's nine fifty on a Tuesday. That's what that always 346 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 1: will mean throughout the rest of the season. Here on 347 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 1: Talking Cowboys. You guys are bringing the fire and some 348 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 1: of these questions already and I love them, keep them coming. 349 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 1: First one has to do with the matchup that's coming 350 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 1: up here this Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks and one 351 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 1: early MVP candidate, and Russell Wilson has been just throwing 352 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 1: the football around and running the football as well, up 353 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 1: to four thousand career rushing yards now early in the season, 354 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,159 Speaker 1: and he's been fantastic for Seattle, leading them to a 355 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 1: two and oh start. But first question comes from Broncos 356 00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 1: seven eight eight, and actually it was also asked by 357 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,399 Speaker 1: Strike Chris as well. Do you think that having a 358 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:07,160 Speaker 1: spy on Russell Wilson this Sunday will help? Is there 359 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,120 Speaker 1: a possibility that this could help? And Isaiah, if you're back, 360 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 1: we're gonna start with you here. Yes, he's back. I 361 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,159 Speaker 1: think I'm back here. Very good, You're back. Let's go. 362 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 1: So that's something that I was going to bring up 363 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,360 Speaker 1: in the last segment. Okay, when we started talking about 364 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 1: the secondary. Russell Wilson, he presents a very unique issue 365 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 1: for the Cowboys, right, and Mike Nolan, especially because of 366 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,879 Speaker 1: his scheme. There really is no win, right, So it 367 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:33,880 Speaker 1: really is gonna come down to can this defensive line 368 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 1: get pressure. If the defensive line cannot get pressure alone, 369 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 1: then this secondary is going to suffer. The reason being, 370 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:42,920 Speaker 1: if you decide to play man to man, you can't 371 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:46,520 Speaker 1: match up against the Seattle wide receiver speed. You just can't. Right. 372 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:50,440 Speaker 1: DK Metcalf presents a problem, Tyler presents a problem, Greg 373 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 1: Olsen presents a problem, right even O O g Right, 374 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:55,919 Speaker 1: So you can't line up man because if you go 375 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:57,720 Speaker 1: man to man against those guys, you're gonna lose with 376 00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,919 Speaker 1: your receivers against the your dbs against their receivers, and 377 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,480 Speaker 1: you're gonna have a linebacker trying to spy Russell Wilson. So, 378 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 1: to answer your question, that's not a good matchup. But 379 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,439 Speaker 1: then on the other end of that, if they decide 380 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 1: to go zone. Right now, you're if this defensive line 381 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:15,159 Speaker 1: doesn't get pressure and they're playing zone, Russell Wilson is 382 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,439 Speaker 1: going to pick you apart. So the d line has 383 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 1: to show up playing spying Russell Wilson is a good 384 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 1: idea if you're getting pressure with your with your defensive line. 385 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,440 Speaker 1: I think everyone knows that Bill Belichick is probably the 386 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:33,720 Speaker 1: single best game manager and prepare of anyone in the 387 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:37,560 Speaker 1: National Football League. And last week he went from a zone, 388 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:41,399 Speaker 1: went from playing his traditional man to go and zone, 389 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:46,680 Speaker 1: and Stephan Gilmore his top dog and the Torch gave 390 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:51,480 Speaker 1: three touchdowns. So what do you do? Do you spy them, 391 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,679 Speaker 1: to spy or not to spy. It's really one of 392 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:57,679 Speaker 1: those situations where I agree with Isaiah, you have to 393 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 1: get You have to generate some type of pressure and 394 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 1: get Russell uncomfortable because what he'll do and that read 395 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:08,199 Speaker 1: option is just destroy you. He'll set He's so masterful 396 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 1: as setting that up and creating plays with his legs 397 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 1: and getting out of the pocket and looking up field. 398 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 1: They just have way too many weapons for us to 399 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:20,359 Speaker 1: just relegate one guy to him. We just have to 400 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 1: rely on our scheme and just try and do everything 401 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:27,760 Speaker 1: that we possibly can to generate those sacks. Yeah, Isaiah 402 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 1: convinced me, I don't think. I don't think he can't 403 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 1: spy him, at least not all the time. I thought 404 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 1: I was encouraged in the second half just watching it back. 405 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 1: You know, the Falcons tried some of that ram stuff. 406 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,160 Speaker 1: They tried some of the misdirection and boots and waggles 407 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:41,840 Speaker 1: and things like that a little bit. And I thought 408 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 1: the Cowboys did a better job, like upfront, staying home 409 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 1: on some of that stuff and being disciplined in their 410 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:51,359 Speaker 1: rush lanes and there. But there is no more bigger 411 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 1: challenge than Russell Wilson when it comes to being disciplined 412 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 1: with your rushes and working in concert there and trying 413 00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,240 Speaker 1: to keep him in the pocket as best you can. Like, 414 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,440 Speaker 1: there's no bigger challenge in the entire league. So I'm 415 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,080 Speaker 1: really curious to see how they handle it. And I 416 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 1: think what I saw down the stretch is encouraging. But 417 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:12,879 Speaker 1: until you see it, I mean, he can beat just 418 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 1: so many different ways. He's reached a point in his 419 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 1: career too, where he can just sit back in the pocket, 420 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 1: like Isaiah said, and pick you apart two. So it's 421 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 1: this is a this is a pass rush game. I 422 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 1: think that's one reason why Mike Nolan was so emphatic 423 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,399 Speaker 1: yesterday about how they've just got to be better upfront together. 424 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:31,000 Speaker 1: It's really the first mobile quarterback that the Cowboys have 425 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 1: faced this season. I mean, both Jared Goffin and Matt 426 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 1: Ryan aren't necessarily the two quarterbacks that you're gonna see 427 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,119 Speaker 1: takeoff and run the football quite a bit. But you 428 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 1: have some more coming up on the schedule. Not only 429 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,720 Speaker 1: is Russell Wilson coming up, but you got Baker Mayfield 430 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 1: who's not afraid to run the football. Kyler Murray's coming 431 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 1: up in Week six. I mean, there's more quarterbacks coming up. 432 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 1: I mean you even look ahead and you got Lamar 433 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 1: Jackson down the line later in the season. So this 434 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:57,720 Speaker 1: is really gonna be that first This is gonna be 435 00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 1: that first benchmark of how to handle a quarterback. And 436 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,119 Speaker 1: I know, must Russell Wilson compared to Lamar Jackson and 437 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray isn't as mobile. But this is going to 438 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 1: be interesting to see how Mike Nolan plans for this 439 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 1: and how even with some of the better matchups receivers wise, 440 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 1: that Seattle has. It's going to be fun to see 441 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,720 Speaker 1: how Mike Nolan kind of schemes it up and gets 442 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:20,919 Speaker 1: the chess match going there. But I agree with Isaiah, 443 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,359 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be tough matchup wise to be 444 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 1: able to cover both the receivers and also take up 445 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:29,119 Speaker 1: a defender. Worrying about the run, you may have to 446 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,359 Speaker 1: be bit a couple of times first before a switch 447 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 1: is made in that regard. This question comes from Campbell 448 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 1: eight nine, and he asked, why not just stick with 449 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,560 Speaker 1: the four three defense so we can get to Marcus 450 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 1: Lawrence going? And now there's been a lot of frustration. 451 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 1: I've seen this a couple times throughout some of the 452 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:49,359 Speaker 1: comments over the last two days of DeMarcus Lawrence. Is 453 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 1: it an injury? Is it just performance? But heck, well, 454 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:53,720 Speaker 1: we'll start with you on this one. How do you 455 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 1: get dlow going? And is it the four three defense 456 00:23:56,280 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 1: that's stifling him? Yeah? And also and just going back 457 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 1: and watching the tape first half of d law, d 458 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 1: law played really well against the run. It's just what 459 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 1: we're accustomed to seeing from d Laws, just getting those pressures. 460 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:15,919 Speaker 1: Also went back and watched and also saw some commentary 461 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 1: on this about de Law putting his hand in the 462 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:21,160 Speaker 1: ground on the bicycle stands. Remember also DeMarcus Ware had 463 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,240 Speaker 1: to make that transition as well. He was a guy 464 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 1: that had his hand in the ground but then also 465 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 1: went to the bicycle stands. I just know that it's 466 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,639 Speaker 1: a technique thing, and I don't think the cowboy fantasy 467 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 1: to panic so early on this. We know who d 468 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:38,200 Speaker 1: Law is. He's a dog and Isaiah, like you said 469 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:45,400 Speaker 1: this check says that he will make those adjustments. Yeah. 470 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't really have nothing to add. I mean, heck, 471 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 1: hit it on the head. I mean, he's a pro. 472 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:51,240 Speaker 1: You know, he has to make an adjustment. It is 473 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:55,120 Speaker 1: a technique deal. When you're talking about making an entire 474 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 1: change to a defensive scheme simply because one player hasn't 475 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,760 Speaker 1: gotten going yet, that's not what you you know, you don't. 476 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,440 Speaker 1: I just absolutely everybody, you make that one individual a 477 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 1: just and he will. Yeah. I don't know if you 478 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:11,200 Speaker 1: guys disagree, but I think he's getting too much criticism 479 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 1: right now. Yeah. I mean that that first game, Jared 480 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,679 Speaker 1: Goffton let them rush the passer, you know, and you 481 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:20,639 Speaker 1: go back and you look at the stats, and he 482 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,119 Speaker 1: had four pressures, which was most on the team. I 483 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,439 Speaker 1: know they didn't get a lot of pressure, but that 484 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 1: wasn't the Rams plan. They weren't going to let them 485 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:31,160 Speaker 1: rush the passer. And then just watching it back yesterday, 486 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,200 Speaker 1: I thought, like, like Heck said, he did a nice 487 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:36,199 Speaker 1: job against the run. He was clearly laboring in the 488 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 1: third quarter and that's when he went out. I mean 489 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,840 Speaker 1: he was trying to limping around, trying to get to 490 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:42,639 Speaker 1: the ball. I don't think we saw him at one 491 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 1: hundred percent last week, and in Week one it was 492 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 1: a weird game. So I'm just not there yet. I 493 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,159 Speaker 1: think when he's one hundred percent, he's still gonna be 494 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:53,359 Speaker 1: a good player for you. And but they absolutely need him. 495 00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 1: I don't know. Two point stance like you guys are 496 00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 1: right like it does. It helps you with your eyes 497 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:00,720 Speaker 1: to be able to see what's going on in the backfield, 498 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,359 Speaker 1: but maybe maybe your technique suffers a little bit. I 499 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe maybe that is an adjustment for him, 500 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,400 Speaker 1: But to me, it's more about just being healthy, because 501 00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:09,920 Speaker 1: because he was not moving well in the second half, 502 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:11,400 Speaker 1: that's why he didn't play. It's why he saw more 503 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,520 Speaker 1: Everson Griffin and kind of going off of that, Rob, 504 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:16,960 Speaker 1: I think you made a great point on the Week 505 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,720 Speaker 1: one game specifically, nobody had pressure solely based off the 506 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 1: fact that the Rams just didn't hold on to the 507 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 1: football a whole lot. They were in the football with 508 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 1: Malcolm Brown, they switched it up with Cam Akers, and 509 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,880 Speaker 1: then there was the short Dnkin dunk passes, the death 510 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:34,200 Speaker 1: buy needles that we talked about all last week that 511 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 1: really tore up the Cowboys defense because there was no 512 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:41,480 Speaker 1: ability to get pass pressure on the Jared Goffin and 513 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 1: really kind of take advantage of it that direction. But 514 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,440 Speaker 1: when it comes to the past rush in general, Rob, 515 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:50,440 Speaker 1: are you are you concerned about the fact that even 516 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:53,560 Speaker 1: in this Atlanta game, with an Atlanta offensive line that 517 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 1: didn't necessarily come in with the best ratings, the highest praise, 518 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,560 Speaker 1: the fact that the Cowboys still really struggle to get 519 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 1: any kind of pass rush into that fourth quarter. Well, yeah, 520 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 1: they need They need more, for sure. I do think 521 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 1: you know, I thought Atlanta we talked about it last week, 522 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 1: how or I mentioned how they they've invested draft picks 523 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:18,760 Speaker 1: on that line. They've got some talent up front. Is 524 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:21,800 Speaker 1: the pass rush what we needed to be? No, it's 525 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,720 Speaker 1: not there. Yet, And that's one thing we I think 526 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,119 Speaker 1: was an emphasis for me going into camp, where it 527 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,800 Speaker 1: was like, the the overall talent they've assembled is really good, 528 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:33,600 Speaker 1: but can you put it all together with a new 529 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:35,680 Speaker 1: scheme right off the bat? And I don't. I don't 530 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:39,200 Speaker 1: think they're they're there yet. But again, fourth quarter, man, 531 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,480 Speaker 1: I was encouraged because you saw a couple of rushes 532 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:46,240 Speaker 1: late Everson Griffin, Alvin Smith flushing Matt Ryan out of 533 00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:48,119 Speaker 1: the pocket, throwing the ball away, they hold him do 534 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,120 Speaker 1: a field goal and a punt, And if you take 535 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:53,960 Speaker 1: away those first twenty points, I mean, I can't. I 536 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,160 Speaker 1: can't put any of that really on the defense. It's 537 00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,400 Speaker 1: nineteen points after that, and then it's you know, there 538 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,159 Speaker 1: was stuff to be desired in the first game, but 539 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,399 Speaker 1: it's twenty points from the rams. You're hoping with the 540 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 1: forty burger offense, you can win those games, right, So 541 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, the defense isn't there yet. 542 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 1: I'm not arguing that, but there is some good there 543 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,479 Speaker 1: and there is some stuff to build on. They just 544 00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:18,720 Speaker 1: need to be healthy, and they're not healthy and they're 545 00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 1: not going to be fully healthy for a while. With 546 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,159 Speaker 1: vander Esche out for a while. Yeah, no, man, And 547 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,879 Speaker 1: then we saw a couple of instances where we only 548 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:29,400 Speaker 1: rush three and we dropped back eight, and we lan 549 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:31,640 Speaker 1: had to answer those questions about what are you doing. 550 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:35,680 Speaker 1: You're playing defensive ends in coverage. So I mean, right now, 551 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:39,120 Speaker 1: there's so much that's under the microscope and the people 552 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 1: are trying to discern what exactly our strategy is. But 553 00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:44,800 Speaker 1: I just feel like the longer this defense goes, the 554 00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:47,280 Speaker 1: better they're gonna get. Because the second half. I just 555 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:49,160 Speaker 1: point to the second half and what they were able 556 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,880 Speaker 1: to do. It wasn't a bind but don't break sort 557 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:55,160 Speaker 1: of mentality. They got some quality stops and you saw that, 558 00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:58,320 Speaker 1: Like you said, Rob from the defensive ends, I think 559 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,120 Speaker 1: you're right. I think it's I think in this situation 560 00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:03,240 Speaker 1: with a new scheme, it's got they've got to build 561 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,640 Speaker 1: week to week. Now, gosh, you need it this week 562 00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 1: against Seattle, right, my goodness. But but but you try 563 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,000 Speaker 1: to build week to week and maybe Mike Noelan he 564 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,360 Speaker 1: talked about this a little bit yesterday. They're not doing 565 00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 1: as much schematically as maybe he wants to. You know, 566 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 1: I think he's still trying to figure out what his 567 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 1: guys really do well and what they're comfortable with, and 568 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,120 Speaker 1: so they're just not they're not there yet. I think 569 00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,760 Speaker 1: it's just too early to make a statement on what 570 00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 1: this defense is yet. Yeah, it is a little early. 571 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 1: And you talk about two of the better offenses really 572 00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 1: in the NFL. You're going to get face another one 573 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:38,320 Speaker 1: coming up this week. But Los Angeles Atlanta each have 574 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:40,680 Speaker 1: great rosters when it comes to the offensive side of 575 00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 1: the football, and they're still left to be desired, of course, 576 00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,120 Speaker 1: but I think you're you're also working on it as well, 577 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 1: sticking on the same defensive side of the football. And 578 00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 1: this is a fan question from RJ Well's second straight week. 579 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 1: RJ has been with a fire question. By the way, 580 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:57,000 Speaker 1: keep sending him in. We've got hey, we've got a 581 00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,720 Speaker 1: couple more We've got a couple more minutes to answer 582 00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 1: your questions, so keep them coming here on the periscope, 583 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,560 Speaker 1: streaming on Twitter. But he asked, since every other defensive 584 00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 1: back other than Cheetoo Woozier gets their head around and 585 00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,160 Speaker 1: looks for the ball to make a play even though 586 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:14,800 Speaker 1: they aren't necessarily locating the ball, do you guys agree 587 00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:17,280 Speaker 1: that it would be a better team to put a 588 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:21,040 Speaker 1: better time to put Cheeto and Xavier Woods as the 589 00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 1: two safeties, like they had talked about heading into camp, 590 00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:27,840 Speaker 1: then roll with the other guys in a cornerback rotation. 591 00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:32,080 Speaker 1: Long question there, but basically moving Cheeto to safety, sticking 592 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,120 Speaker 1: with what you got at corner. What do you think 593 00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 1: and Rob will start with you? Was that As shaking 594 00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:42,560 Speaker 1: his head, Well do you think? No? No, I mean 595 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,120 Speaker 1: you don't have a problem at safety right now. I 596 00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:49,320 Speaker 1: mean now, I still believe. I still I still believe 597 00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:51,480 Speaker 1: I agree with them, and I'll get to I still 598 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,000 Speaker 1: believe that. Yeah, I still believe that you should go 599 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,120 Speaker 1: out there and get that dude. As sitting sitting in 600 00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:57,840 Speaker 1: his office with his feet kicked out. I don't know 601 00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:00,440 Speaker 1: why Earl hasn't been signed yet, because if you want 602 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,640 Speaker 1: to have a dominant defense, you go add that extra piece. 603 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 1: But I digress. Um, the problem is at corner. They 604 00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:09,320 Speaker 1: don't have enough experience at corner right now and then 605 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,640 Speaker 1: and unfortunately these first two weeks you face some dudes, 606 00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,880 Speaker 1: right a receiver. Um, so these rickies, say, these these 607 00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,720 Speaker 1: younger guys, some of these smaller guys, right, you know, 608 00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 1: we got Brown, we got Lewis you know, going back 609 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 1: and forth from I R these guys are smaller dudes, 610 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,200 Speaker 1: and they're gonna be facing somebody like DK Metcalf who 611 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:28,760 Speaker 1: six four two twenty five or runs a four three three, Like, like, 612 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:30,400 Speaker 1: what do you do against that? Right? You know what 613 00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,920 Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like you don't win against that man? Demand 614 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,160 Speaker 1: So um, it's it's a matter of these guys just 615 00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,040 Speaker 1: continue to get reps. You gotta remember they didn't have 616 00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:40,440 Speaker 1: preseason to get these reps. This is their quote unquote preseason. 617 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:41,800 Speaker 1: But they just can't afford to lose the games and 618 00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:45,280 Speaker 1: lose these battles. I agree one hundred percent. You know, 619 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,840 Speaker 1: they're they've got numbers at safety right now, they're just 620 00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:49,520 Speaker 1: trying to I don't know if they're trying to figure 621 00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:53,520 Speaker 1: out a rotation or what exactly they're doing. Because dary 622 00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:57,320 Speaker 1: and Thompson, Darryl Worley, h and Brandon Carr all got 623 00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:00,960 Speaker 1: snaps with Xavier Woods on on Sunday, so I think 624 00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,640 Speaker 1: they they're trying to settle that down or figure out 625 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,360 Speaker 1: what they want to do there. But yeah, as it 626 00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:08,520 Speaker 1: is right at the corner position, I feel better about 627 00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:11,480 Speaker 1: having a healthy cheeto out there to try to counteract 628 00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:15,240 Speaker 1: what you're seeing with some of these opposing receivers are facing. Yeah, 629 00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:19,080 Speaker 1: J RJ with the tough question, this would this wouldn't 630 00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:23,560 Speaker 1: be the week to try and have a position Cheeto. 631 00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:25,640 Speaker 1: And I don't know if there's any week in the 632 00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:28,479 Speaker 1: end on our schedule that you planned to do that. 633 00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:30,840 Speaker 1: But I think if I'm just kind of reading in 634 00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:33,960 Speaker 1: between the lines here for RJ's question, he's just saying 635 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,440 Speaker 1: that Cheeto isn't getting his head turned around so that 636 00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:39,080 Speaker 1: he could track the ball and get an interception. And 637 00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:40,800 Speaker 1: there was a couple of plays that you look at, 638 00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:44,080 Speaker 1: there was a fourth down that Cheeto was right there, 639 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:48,000 Speaker 1: he just didn't turn to get the ball. So I mean, 640 00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:49,680 Speaker 1: all those things will come. One of the things that 641 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:53,000 Speaker 1: I know about professional athletes is that their preparation is seamless, 642 00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:55,120 Speaker 1: and these guys will continue to watch that film to 643 00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:58,200 Speaker 1: get better. We also have to understand these guys didn't 644 00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:02,160 Speaker 1: have the two of them all the off season of activities. 645 00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:05,960 Speaker 1: Sounds they just rock knocking the rust off and so 646 00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:09,000 Speaker 1: pretty soon Tito get there. But let's not move them 647 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:12,320 Speaker 1: the safety this week. PEO. Don't know if anything drove 648 00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:16,960 Speaker 1: fans more crazy under the previous defense than than playing 649 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:20,120 Speaker 1: the ball and not the man at the cornerback position. 650 00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:22,720 Speaker 1: I feel like it drove fans crazy, and I think 651 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:25,120 Speaker 1: they're they're they're more playing the ball. It seems like, 652 00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,960 Speaker 1: at least to me with Diggs and watching watching the 653 00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:31,000 Speaker 1: guys play back there right now. Yeah, and remember that's 654 00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:34,840 Speaker 1: kind of what the Chris Richard mindset was last year 655 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,880 Speaker 1: was let's let's play the receiver, not necessarily the ball. 656 00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:39,480 Speaker 1: It was kind of what they were taught for a 657 00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:41,760 Speaker 1: couple of years. Now you see a little bit of 658 00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:45,840 Speaker 1: a shift. Dollar for every question I got exactly exactly 659 00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:49,080 Speaker 1: and luckily I was a long time ago you would 660 00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,920 Speaker 1: get some of the Meca Harrison off the off the 661 00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:59,080 Speaker 1: air chicks. Yeah, some of cameo money man, it ain't cameo, 662 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:03,880 Speaker 1: I'll tell you that much. Now, going off of what 663 00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:06,920 Speaker 1: Isaiah was just talking about in terms of the Safeties, 664 00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:11,160 Speaker 1: haven't necessarily played poorly. Darian Thompson has been on and off. 665 00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:14,799 Speaker 1: He's inconsistent and is really the best way to put it. 666 00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:17,080 Speaker 1: But Xavier Woods has been playing quite well and it's 667 00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:19,560 Speaker 1: kind of one of those years that we expect Xavier 668 00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:22,680 Speaker 1: Woods to kind of take that next step, and we're 669 00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:24,360 Speaker 1: kind of starting to see that. I was kind of 670 00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:27,360 Speaker 1: curious last night and I was looking up where actually 671 00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:30,799 Speaker 1: Jamal Adams was in terms of ranking on safeties in 672 00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:33,640 Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus grades heading into this week, because I 673 00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:35,560 Speaker 1: was just curious as to where Jamal Adams was. He 674 00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:37,719 Speaker 1: seems like he's flying to the football. You hear his 675 00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:41,160 Speaker 1: name every thirty seconds on the TV broadcast. He's twenty fifth. 676 00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:43,799 Speaker 1: But I also was surprised at who was in the 677 00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:47,120 Speaker 1: top three. Jordan Poyer leads the way with the highest 678 00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:50,320 Speaker 1: grade of eighty seven. Then you've got Antoine Winfield junior, 679 00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:54,719 Speaker 1: the rookie out of Minnesota in Tampa Bay. He's second. Yeah, 680 00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,000 Speaker 1: he was a pet cat of mine. But the third 681 00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:01,040 Speaker 1: best player in terms of Pro Football Focus grade Xavier 682 00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:03,439 Speaker 1: Woods at the safety position through the first two weeks 683 00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:06,960 Speaker 1: of the season. Yeah, he's played well. And it's through 684 00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:09,839 Speaker 1: one hundred and forty eight snaps. That's the major. That's 685 00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:11,880 Speaker 1: the most snaps out of any of the guys in 686 00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:14,000 Speaker 1: the top ten. So he's played the most and he 687 00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:16,040 Speaker 1: has the best or third best grade out of any 688 00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:18,319 Speaker 1: of the top ten safeties through the first two weeks 689 00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:20,600 Speaker 1: of the season. A lot can change, but he's played 690 00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:22,839 Speaker 1: well so far, and I think if you get him 691 00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:24,880 Speaker 1: some help at safety, it can help him out. But 692 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:26,799 Speaker 1: I think Derry and Thompson's still kind of learning a 693 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,080 Speaker 1: little bit and there's still some room for growth there. 694 00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:31,120 Speaker 1: As a guy who's still learning how to be a 695 00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:33,800 Speaker 1: starter in the NFL that's gonna do it for fans 696 00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:35,960 Speaker 1: on the fifty.

We're talking a lot about that Cowboys 740 00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:14,040 Speaker 1: defense right now. We'll talk about it again tomorrow and 741 00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:18,000 Speaker 1: how they specifically match up with the Seattle offense, who 742 00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:21,200 Speaker 1: has been firing on all cylinders. Then Thursday, we'll go 743 00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:25,400 Speaker 1: through the Seattle defense and Jamal Adams of course making 744 00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:29,799 Speaker 1: his first Seattle appearance against the Dallas Cowboys, and we'll 745 00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:32,680 Speaker 1: talk about how they match up with the offense heading 746 00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:35,279 Speaker 1: into Thursday, and then we'll give our predictions Friday. There's 747 00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:37,560 Speaker 1: the schedule of the week.

But heading into this final segment, 750 00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:44,920 Speaker 1: I wanted to stay positive. And of course we're one 751 00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:46,960 Speaker 1: and one as a Dallas Cowboys and you get the 752 00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:50,560 Speaker 1: win on Sunday. But there's been a lot of complaining 753 00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:53,000 Speaker 1: in terms of really some of the different areas of 754 00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:55,960 Speaker 1: the Cowboys that need to be addressed. Sure, one area 755 00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:59,839 Speaker 1: that does not need to be addressed, because he's been fantastic, 756 00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:04,600 Speaker 1: He's been unstoppable, he's been outstanding. Ezekiel Elliott is just 757 00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:07,080 Speaker 1: a man amongst boys when it comes to even the 758 00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:10,600 Speaker 1: men of the NFL. And if you disagree with that statement, 759 00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:13,239 Speaker 1: go watch his run on the goal line where he 760 00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:16,000 Speaker 1: just straight up ran over him. I mean, this is 761 00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:19,120 Speaker 1: a guy who gets paid to make tackles in the NFL, 762 00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:22,839 Speaker 1: and Ezekiel Elliott turned up into a statue. Yeah it 763 00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:26,480 Speaker 1: was Uh, it was a hit that was heard around 764 00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:28,920 Speaker 1: the world. You could hear it shaking from Mercedes ben 765 00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:33,279 Speaker 1: Stadium in Atlanta. But really, overall, Ezekiel Elliott continues to 766 00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:36,480 Speaker 1: be that workhorse, continues to be the bell cow for 767 00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:40,239 Speaker 1: the Cowboys offense, and really heck, it opened things up 768 00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:42,439 Speaker 1: for the Cowboys to be able to have the run 769 00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:46,279 Speaker 1: that they did in the second half on Sunday. That 770 00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:48,279 Speaker 1: was the first time I'd ever seen a deep hug 771 00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:53,839 Speaker 1: himself in the inn. It was Wakonda forever I think 772 00:39:53,840 --> 00:40:00,799 Speaker 1: I heard him. You know, Zeke is like you you 773 00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:03,880 Speaker 1: said to Kyle A man amost Boys. He is doing 774 00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:06,480 Speaker 1: so much in this offense. But I think it's the 775 00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:09,600 Speaker 1: stuff that doesn't make the stat sheet that people should 776 00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:12,759 Speaker 1: really look at. Last week Man his help with Brandon Knight, 777 00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:16,279 Speaker 1: Chip Luck, what he's doing in past protection. He's just 778 00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:19,560 Speaker 1: doing so many great things that's allowing Dak to get 779 00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:22,560 Speaker 1: the ball down the field, and not only on those 780 00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:26,719 Speaker 1: plays where he's a decoy. He's a worthy decoy, right 781 00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:29,759 Speaker 1: because the deepense has to account for what he does 782 00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:32,400 Speaker 1: in the passing game. I just love the way that 783 00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,320 Speaker 1: Kelly Moore is getting him involved, getting him in rhythm, 784 00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:38,600 Speaker 1: and even with the score being what it was, Zeke 785 00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:41,920 Speaker 1: still carried the ball twenty two times. So there's a 786 00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:43,840 Speaker 1: lot of times when you get down that big you 787 00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:47,120 Speaker 1: just completely abandon the run. And the Cowboys didn't go 788 00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:54,200 Speaker 1: away from him. But Ezekiel Elliott no, no, that's some 789 00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:56,640 Speaker 1: great points. Heck now, and I want to allude to 790 00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:59,399 Speaker 1: what you sated, that what everybody doesn't see, right, Most 791 00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:01,719 Speaker 1: people pay attention to simply what shows up on the 792 00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:04,000 Speaker 1: stat sheet, right, how many how many rushing yards did 793 00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:06,319 Speaker 1: he have? How many touchdowns did he have? But there's 794 00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:08,520 Speaker 1: so much more to that position, right, there's so much 795 00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:11,880 Speaker 1: communication between him and the quarterback, him and the offensive 796 00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:14,120 Speaker 1: line right where the offensive line is slide in there 797 00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:17,120 Speaker 1: blocking to who's the mic linebacker? What's his assignment as 798 00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:19,120 Speaker 1: he blocked the front side linebacker, if he blesses us, 799 00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:21,719 Speaker 1: he blocked the backside linebacker. He was doing all those 800 00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:24,040 Speaker 1: things during the game. He was picking up so many 801 00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:26,680 Speaker 1: blinches that they're the pressure that those guys were bringing 802 00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:28,520 Speaker 1: on the opposing side of the ball. And then when 803 00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:30,560 Speaker 1: it was his opportunity to run the ball, he came in. 804 00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:34,200 Speaker 1: That boy was physziic coal. He kept bringing it. He 805 00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:37,680 Speaker 1: disrespected so many falcons. Them them dirty birds turned into 806 00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:40,319 Speaker 1: little baby birds because then boys was getting laid up 807 00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:43,040 Speaker 1: and rolled up like little tortillas. I felt so bad 808 00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:44,640 Speaker 1: for the little dude on the goal line. He just 809 00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:47,480 Speaker 1: he just usually rolled up in a little ball and 810 00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:49,600 Speaker 1: he said, Mama, he was just hoping they snapped his 811 00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:51,319 Speaker 1: fingers to be gone, but he wasn't. He was laying 812 00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:54,239 Speaker 1: on the floor. But no, he's doing the heck of 813 00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:56,800 Speaker 1: a job, man. And you know he is the physical 814 00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:58,840 Speaker 1: side of this, of this offense, and he has to 815 00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:01,040 Speaker 1: continue to bring it. They have to continue to give 816 00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:03,680 Speaker 1: him the rock. And if they continue to follow suit 817 00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:05,080 Speaker 1: with that, I think they're gonna be They're gonna be 818 00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:07,839 Speaker 1: in a good situation going forward with this season. Man, 819 00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:10,840 Speaker 1: Tony Poll just eight snaps. I feel for him, but 820 00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:12,600 Speaker 1: that's part. That's when you when you have a Hall 821 00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:15,640 Speaker 1: of Fame at running back, That's that's what happens. And 822 00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:17,959 Speaker 1: you can't fumble. You can't fumble when you come again either. 823 00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:21,319 Speaker 1: That too, that too, even though that was called right, 824 00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:23,960 Speaker 1: was it was overturned, It wasn't. A film doesn't matter, 825 00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:26,400 Speaker 1: but you're right the presson he can't play on the ground, 826 00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:33,200 Speaker 1: but it doesn't matter. But yeah, the little things Zeke 827 00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:36,640 Speaker 1: does or make him a top back in the league. 828 00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:39,440 Speaker 1: But what we've seen his explosive this so far, I 829 00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:43,560 Speaker 1: think it speaks to last year not having training camp. 830 00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:46,560 Speaker 1: He's not he wasn't washed up he didn't lose his 831 00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:49,160 Speaker 1: explosive this. I think he needed time as a year 832 00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:51,040 Speaker 1: went on to get some of that back and get 833 00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:52,960 Speaker 1: a rhythm with the offensive line, and he did late 834 00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:55,279 Speaker 1: later in the season, and you're seeing it from the 835 00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:58,680 Speaker 1: jump this year. He's still he looks as good as 836 00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:01,240 Speaker 1: I've seen him since twenty six to be honest with you, Wow, 837 00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:04,160 Speaker 1: I mean, and that's exciting. And we had kind of 838 00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:05,920 Speaker 1: talked about it. I think this was the topic on 839 00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:08,560 Speaker 1: one of our offseason shows where I said, or maybe 840 00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:10,879 Speaker 1: it was training camp where I was saying, hey, watch out, 841 00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:14,200 Speaker 1: I think this is going to be twenty sixteen, twenty 842 00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:16,759 Speaker 1: seventeen Zeke territory. And he does. He looks like that, 843 00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:20,960 Speaker 1: and he's running like that. The yardage hasn't necessarily been 844 00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:23,960 Speaker 1: there from a ground standpoint. I mean, he's still getting 845 00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:25,960 Speaker 1: close to one hundred yards. He hasn't had a hundred 846 00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:28,680 Speaker 1: yard game yet, but he's been over one hundred yards 847 00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:31,600 Speaker 1: in terms of yards from scrimmage in each of the 848 00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:33,680 Speaker 1: first two games, one hundred and twenty seven Week one, 849 00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:36,759 Speaker 1: I believe he had one twenty two or more than 850 00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:39,560 Speaker 1: that here this past week he gets to Atlanta, but 851 00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:43,320 Speaker 1: really he adds that extra element though, of comfort whenever 852 00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:46,160 Speaker 1: he comes to play calling Isaiah and you can look 853 00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:48,399 Speaker 1: at Ezekiel Elliott and you can say, hey, let's run 854 00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:50,000 Speaker 1: it with him, or let's throw it to him. The 855 00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:53,040 Speaker 1: screen passes were working throughout the second half. That was 856 00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:55,879 Speaker 1: one of the reasons that Kellen Moore made those adjustments. 857 00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:57,560 Speaker 1: But what is the biggest part of the game that 858 00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:01,160 Speaker 1: really he opens up for you as offensive coordinator just 859 00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:07,400 Speaker 1: based off of his versatility? Oh, play action. Yeah, it's 860 00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:10,719 Speaker 1: pretty pretty easy, you know, with his ability to tilt 861 00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:12,360 Speaker 1: the ball the way he does, for him bringing the 862 00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:15,760 Speaker 1: physicality that he brings him being you know, obviously cutting 863 00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:18,759 Speaker 1: some week and being more explosive. Now you have to 864 00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:22,160 Speaker 1: respect that you cannot just leave six seven guys in 865 00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:25,200 Speaker 1: the box. That's not something that you can do, especially 866 00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:27,400 Speaker 1: with this offensive line. Even with the tackle's gone right, 867 00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:28,960 Speaker 1: you still have some guys in there that that know 868 00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:30,640 Speaker 1: what they're doing up front, and you have to be 869 00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:32,319 Speaker 1: able to respect them that they're going to move your 870 00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:34,719 Speaker 1: defensive line off the ball. So, I mean with the 871 00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:37,320 Speaker 1: combination of that old line, the combination of him tolding 872 00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:39,160 Speaker 1: that rock the way he's doing, I mean, they have 873 00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:41,040 Speaker 1: to come down in the box, which is simply opens 874 00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:43,200 Speaker 1: it up for you're eleven person. Now right when you 875 00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:45,080 Speaker 1: get your boys CD out there, he had his first 876 00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:47,719 Speaker 1: hundred yard right, you got CD, you got Gallup, you 877 00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:49,919 Speaker 1: got Cooper, you got some dues out there, right, So 878 00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:52,440 Speaker 1: you can't forget about that. When you keep handing him 879 00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:54,759 Speaker 1: the rock, handing him the rock, that safety keeps creeping up. 880 00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:56,560 Speaker 1: They keep bringing the defense closer closer to the line 881 00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:59,680 Speaker 1: of scrimmage. Now, nice hard play action, and you dump 882 00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:01,839 Speaker 1: that thing over the top, big plays all over the place. 883 00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:04,960 Speaker 1: Heck nailed it too. They were able to work in 884 00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:08,440 Speaker 1: Zeke throughout the second half, even when they were trailing 885 00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:11,719 Speaker 1: by multiple scores. They Kellen Moore given credit. They didn't 886 00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:14,600 Speaker 1: go away from it like maybe they did sometimes last year. 887 00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:16,919 Speaker 1: And the play action, man, it gave me so much 888 00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:20,120 Speaker 1: joy to watch in the second half of that game yesterday. 889 00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:23,239 Speaker 1: Work in that play action. Good things always seem to 890 00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:25,759 Speaker 1: happen when they do that. I love it. Hey, Rob, 891 00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:29,600 Speaker 1: tell the people about uh if Zeke is the leading 892 00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:32,000 Speaker 1: Russia about that feed me tattoo, You're gonna get on 893 00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:37,759 Speaker 1: your stone. That my best what I heard. I mean 894 00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:39,840 Speaker 1: that he was the one that told me but I 895 00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:43,719 Speaker 1: heard that one. I don't know. You're gonna have to 896 00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:45,719 Speaker 1: let me in on some of your away from talking 897 00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:48,040 Speaker 1: with checks to be able to do that. I don't know. 898 00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:54,040 Speaker 1: I don't know it, oh man, that I mean, that's 899 00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:56,560 Speaker 1: there's no better way to end the show than on 900 00:45:56,600 --> 00:45:59,959 Speaker 1: that one. And here's your friendly daily reminder. And heck 901 00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:03,640 Speaker 1: talking about Bets and Isaiah talking about how he had 902 00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:06,200 Speaker 1: his first one hundred yard game. Here's your daily reminder 903 00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:09,280 Speaker 1: that the NFL let Ceedee Lamb slipped to pick seventeen, 904 00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:12,360 Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys have the best young wide receiver, 905 00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:15,719 Speaker 1: best rookie wide receiver in football.
