This He's Talking Cowboys, 0:00:17.640 --> 0:00:21.040 Screaming live from the Dallas Cowboys World headquarters at the 0:00:21.120 --> 0:00:29.800 Star in Frisco, following the Sallow Tuscott pick and now 0:00:29.920 --> 0:00:34.919 your hosts Isaiah Stanback, heck My Harrison, Rob Phillips, and 0:00:35.159 --> 0:00:41.560 Kyle Yeoman's it's a wonderful Thursday edition of Talking Cowboys 0:00:41.600 --> 0:00:44.680 here from the s WBC Mortgage Studios at the Star 0:00:44.880 --> 0:00:48.320 in Frisco. Welcome in for the next forty five minutes. 0:00:48.400 --> 0:00:51.720 We break things down with this Dallas Cowboys organization, and 0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:54.400 we're gonna unleash the beast when it comes to breaking 0:00:54.440 --> 0:00:58.800 down those Arizona Cardinals as they come to town on 0:00:59.000 --> 0:01:04.000 Monday night. But you're on Talking Cowboys. Heck Ma Harrison, 0:01:04.160 --> 0:01:08.520 Rob Phillips, isa stand back, I'm Kyle Yelmans and guys, 0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:12.880 it's it's a fun week because we finally I feel 0:01:12.880 --> 0:01:14.959 like this is the week we finally get to see 0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:19.560 who this Dallas Cowboys team really is. And I know 0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:22.600 a lot of fans will immediately kind of say, but 0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:25.400 what do you mean, Kyle, We have a quote unquote 0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:27.920 backup quarterback. I still think that Andy Dalton should be 0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:30.280 considered a starting quarterback in the NFL, but you have 0:01:30.400 --> 0:01:35.840 a backup quarterback in for Dak Prescott. However, whenever you 0:01:35.880 --> 0:01:38.640 look at the teams that the Cowboys have played, and 0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:42.040 the Cowboys and the team that the Arizona Cardinals are, 0:01:42.080 --> 0:01:43.480 this is the first time you could really look at 0:01:43.520 --> 0:01:46.959 an opponent and say they're not a contender, and they're 0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:49.080 not oh and five. At the same time, I mean, 0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:52.840 they're not winless teams. Whenever you talk about the wins 0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:55.560 and losses that the Cowboys have had, rob and I 0:01:55.640 --> 0:01:58.040 know whenever you look at the Cardinals specifically, there are 0:01:58.040 --> 0:02:00.200 a ton of tough matchups. But at three and two, 0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:02.720 this is a team that I think could really be 0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:05.840 susceptible and allow us to get an accurate look at 0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:09.839 how this roster is built out. That's a good point. 0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:12.760 I hadn't thought about that. You know, it's not it's 0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:15.480 not the Falcons and it's not Seattle, so it's somewhere 0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:18.320 in between. I think it comes down to it's gonna 0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:21.440 come down to which defense shows up and is more consistent, 0:02:21.560 --> 0:02:25.480 because I think the Cardinals defense has been more consistent 0:02:25.520 --> 0:02:27.960 than the Cowboys. I think any defense in the league 0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:30.959 just about has been in terms of where they stand statistically. 0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:33.639 But that game they lost a couple of weeks ago 0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:37.680 to Carolina Man, they got shredded. They got shredded in yards, 0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:41.360 they got shredded in points, and without Chandler Jones, It'll 0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:44.560 be interesting to see how the Cowboys can can match 0:02:44.639 --> 0:02:47.600 up against it. We're gonna get into that, but defensively, 0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:50.360 which team brings it more is going to make the difference, 0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:55.160 I think in week Week six. Yeah, my thoughts, My 0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:58.240 thoughts on this game are going to all revolve around 0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:01.920 turning the fall over and if we can correct those mistakes, 0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:05.680 we will probably put ourselves in any ball game versus 0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:10.000 any opponent. It's the it's just those self inflicted things 0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:13.640 that we've done over the course of the last five games, 0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:16.560 and it's turnovers on our side of the field that 0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:20.120 have all been points for the for the other team. 0:03:20.320 --> 0:03:23.079 So limiting those are going to help us a lot. 0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:25.360 And obviously with Andy Dalton, we're going to have to 0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:28.000 modify our game plan. And I'm not saying dumb it down. 0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:30.400 I just believe it's going to be a modified game 0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:34.239 plan in order to give us some success on offense. Yeah, 0:03:34.240 --> 0:03:35.760 I'm gonna keep leaning on the fact of the type 0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:37.720 of possession, right, And I know it kind of goes 0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:39.240 hand in hand with a lot of different aspects of 0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:42.560 the game. But Rob alluded to the defense. I'm a 0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:45.520 big component of obviously, defense really controlling the game. And 0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:47.400 as long as we can keep this offense off the 0:03:47.400 --> 0:03:49.400 field and we can remain on the field, we win 0:03:49.440 --> 0:03:52.000 that time possession, and that's exactly what we need to do. 0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:54.480 I see that Arizona has had the ball, you know, 0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:58.280 almost twenty nine minutes every game, on average of twenty 0:03:58.320 --> 0:04:01.160 nine minutes, and we have not had that. We we 0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:04.680 have not been there. We've We've lost every every game 0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:07.600 I think in a time of possession aspect. And that's 0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:09.120 something that we have to turn around this game if 0:04:09.160 --> 0:04:11.600 we want to win. I win and looked it up, Isaiah. 0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:15.200 The Cowboys are thirty first in average time of possession. 0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:18.160 I think it's like twenty six. Opponents are averaging the 0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:21.200 having the ball seven more minutes a game than the Cowboys. 0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:23.679 That's that's ridiculous. And if you the only team worse 0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:27.040 is the Jets. So if you're in the Giants are 0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:30.280 right there, Washington's right there. Those are three teams you 0:04:30.320 --> 0:04:32.240 don't want to be right next to really in any 0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:35.479 stat So you're right, they've they've got to and it 0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:39.200 ties into turnovers. Like Hekma said, two more last week, 0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:42.920 you lose the turnover battle again, but yet you win 0:04:42.960 --> 0:04:44.880 the game. So that's not going to happen too often. 0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:47.760 They've got to clean it up. And we mentioned it yesterday, 0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:49.960 and I think Heckma brought up a fantastic point about 0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:52.560 Kyler Murray and the fact that Kyler Murray will turn 0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:55.839 the football over. He's thrown six interceptions already and he's 0:04:55.839 --> 0:04:59.120 at eight touchdown passes, so that touchdown interception ratio not 0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:01.320 as bad as what we saw with Daniel Jones last 0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:03.880 week from the Giants perspective, but this is still a 0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:05.960 quarterback that's going to force some mistakes and it's gonna 0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:08.680 put you in a situation as a defense to take advantage. 0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:11.279 The Cowboys did take advantage last week with de Marcus 0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:14.760 Lawrence and the scoops scoop and score from Anthony Brown 0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:16.560 as well, But whenever you look at the teams that 0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:19.920 the Cowboys have beaten, a combined oz and ten. That's 0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:22.360 really a statistic that I think a lot of people 0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:25.159 might already know because of how bad the Giants and 0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:27.400 the Falcons have been. But you look at the teams 0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:31.080 they've lost to are a combined thirteen and two. Right now, 0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:34.600 when you talk about the Browns, the Seahawks, and of 0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:37.719 course the season opener against the Los Angeles Rams, but 0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:40.040 then the Arizona Cardinals who come in at three and two, 0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:43.320 the teams that they have beaten are a combined three 0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:48.040 and twelve. So, Isaiah, whenever you look at preparation from 0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:50.960 week to week in the NFL, the saying is, hey, 0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:53.159 let's our next opponent, It's going to be that same 0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:55.839 kind of mentality. But whenever you have a team that's 0:05:55.839 --> 0:05:58.560 coming in that like Rob said, it is somewhere in 0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:01.720 between a Falcons or a Giant, in between a Seahawks 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:04.440 or Browns. How does that change your week of preparation 0:06:04.520 --> 0:06:08.560 as a player. It doesn't change it at all. You know, 0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:11.240 I've never been a real big stat guy. I'm a 0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:14.280 big believer in you know, every week it's a new week, 0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:17.120 right It's a new opponent, and every team matches up 0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:21.159 differently against other teams. That's just facts, right, Personnel versus personnel, 0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:24.279 scheme versus scheme. So yeah, I could look at my 0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:27.000 record and say, Okay, we lost, we lost to the Rams, 0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:28.920 we lost to the Seahawks, you know, but guess what, 0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:30.960 you know, we might we might match up pretty well 0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:33.520 against the Cardinals. Right. It just really comes down to position, 0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:38.720 positions of play, and then obviously it's schemes. So I mean, 0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:41.880 I don't put much weight on previous records or any 0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:43.440 of that stuff. You better show up and play every 0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:46.320 week in this league. The only the only stat that 0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:50.320 doesn't ever seem to lie is the turnover battle. Yea, absolutely, 0:06:50.800 --> 0:06:53.360 the last I think the Cowboys in the last year's 0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:56.320 a stat, but it's turnover stat. In the last twenty years, 0:06:56.720 --> 0:07:00.360 they've had a negative turnover ratio eleven times. They missed 0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:02.839 the playoffs ten out of eleven years, and the only 0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:05.520 year they didn't miss it, they were right, you know, 0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:08.640 they were in position actually when they had a positive 0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:11.320 turnover ratio just about every year they made the playoffs. 0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:12.880 When they didn't, it was those eight and eight years 0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:15.160 with Garrett when they were right last week of the 0:07:15.200 --> 0:07:18.000 season trying to win the division. So yeah, you know, 0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:21.200 maybe with Dalton, maybe they're they're going, like Heckma said, 0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:23.520 they're gonna try to be a little bit more balanced 0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:26.400 and try to do some things where they're not putting 0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:28.680 in some of its scoreboard related but not putting your 0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:31.920 offense in a position where were your turnover risky. You know, 0:07:31.960 --> 0:07:34.280 they got to clean that part of it up. I guess, 0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:36.280 I guess the good news is I think the Cardinals 0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:38.600 are are negative for right now on the turnover ratio, 0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:42.920 so that's that's a positive. Yeah, And Kyle, I just 0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:46.120 wanted to say, you know, it's an old boxing term. 0:07:46.240 --> 0:07:50.040 Styles make fights, and the Cowboys have been looking for 0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:53.240 that style that matches this, that they can have dominance. 0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:54.760 We thought we were gonna have that with in the 0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:57.960 Cleveland game versus their running game, and man did they 0:07:57.960 --> 0:08:00.960 show us with their running game. We also thought the 0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:04.360 same thing with the Giants are X coming in and 0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:07.440 we surrender thirty four points to Giant to the Giants, 0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:10.720 so we're not in a position to overlook anyone, especially 0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:12.720 when you're giving up one hundred and sixty points in 0:08:12.760 --> 0:08:15.680 the last four games. I mean, my D I S 0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:18.840 D math may not be that good, but that's about 0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:21.480 forty points a game. And when you look at that 0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:24.840 ratio and you talk about us making history by still 0:08:24.960 --> 0:08:28.080 winning two of those games after giving up close to 0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:30.840 forty points. Man, those are the things that have to 0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:33.480 be corrected. Now. I talk about the turnovers, and those 0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:37.000 are very important because you put your defense at a disadvantage. 0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:39.320 But at some point we are going to have to 0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:42.719 take advantage of the matchups that we have on our 0:08:42.720 --> 0:08:46.840 side as far as defensively are offensively, to take advantage 0:08:46.880 --> 0:08:50.200 of these games so that we can break these games open. Basically, 0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:52.520 it's what I'm trying to say. We just haven't been 0:08:52.520 --> 0:08:54.800 in a situation like that because every game we play 0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:58.760 has been a track meet. It's been a track making 0:08:58.880 --> 0:09:01.240 and I think this one will have an opportunity to 0:09:01.240 --> 0:09:03.360 be a track meet as well as Today, of course 0:09:03.400 --> 0:09:05.840 being Thursday, we're going to break down the Cowboys offense 0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:09.679 against the Arizona defense, and that Arizona defense guy has 0:09:09.679 --> 0:09:12.559 had a huge blow and I mentioned it yesterday when 0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:15.960 the breaking news came down as three time Pro Bowler, 0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:19.480 two time first team All Pro Chandler Jones is out 0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:23.280 for the season for the Cardinals at linebacker. Injured his 0:09:23.480 --> 0:09:26.400 right arm during the first half of last Sunday's win 0:09:26.440 --> 0:09:28.679 against the Jets. But whenever you miss a guy like that, 0:09:28.720 --> 0:09:31.600 This guy who had nineteen sacks a year ago only 0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:34.880 had one sack this year, but he was once again 0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:38.559 just a presence in that front seven for Arizona. But hecklo, 0:09:38.640 --> 0:09:41.240 whenever there's not a guy like that across the line 0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:43.720 of scrimmage, how much easier does it make it for 0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:45.920 a guy like Andy Dalton coming in as first week 0:09:45.960 --> 0:09:51.720 as a starter for the Cowboys. Well, yeah, obviously he's 0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:55.520 going to be a noted miss, notable miss for the Cardinals. 0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:58.079 But at the same time they have some dudes still 0:09:58.240 --> 0:10:01.280 number ninety eight, Corey Peters, he's a presence in the middle, 0:10:01.360 --> 0:10:04.960 and he's a guy that does push the pocket. So um, 0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:07.280 I think when when it's not we're not at the 0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:10.400 point as a team where if there's a guy missing, okay, 0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:12.640 we could take advantage of this, We're still gonna have 0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:15.439 our word cutout for us. I mean, Angelo Blackson, number 0:10:15.480 --> 0:10:18.199 ninety six, he's got six six, three hundred and forty pounds. 0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:22.360 So look, I know, Jones being you know, the injury 0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:24.200 does kind of say, okay, we have it a little 0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:26.160 bit easy because we don't have that dog up front. 0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:30.000 But nah, not really. Uh and especially on the back end, man, 0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:32.920 their secondary is strong and well we'll get into that. 0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:36.319 But guy's like Budda Baker and Pat Pe. Look, this 0:10:36.400 --> 0:10:38.520 is gonna be a challenge for our offense no matter 0:10:38.520 --> 0:10:41.960 how you frame it. Yeah, it could be. It could 0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:43.400 be looked at as a gift, or it could be 0:10:43.400 --> 0:10:45.120 looked at as a curse. Right, because you think about 0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:48.080 it from a defensive defensive coordinator's perspective, as soon as 0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:50.000 you lose your number one pass rusher, what's the first 0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:54.120 thing that you're gonna do to apply pressure. You're gonna blitz. Blitz. Yeah, 0:10:54.280 --> 0:10:56.160 I'm gonna blitz, right, And these guys have the they 0:10:56.240 --> 0:10:58.880 have the personnel in the secondary in order to blitz 0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:01.800 and not sacrifice, you know, the ability to cover somebody. 0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:03.679 So these guys can stay on you, man to man, 0:11:03.760 --> 0:11:05.240 they will get in your face. They will they will 0:11:05.240 --> 0:11:08.400 stay in your hit pocket the entire route and enforce 0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:11.839 a very contested catch. So with that being the case, 0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:14.800 if I'm a defensive coordinare okay, my guys can can cover. 0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:16.600 So guess when I'm gonna send him. Now I don't 0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:18.120 have my guy that could bring pressure just on that 0:11:18.160 --> 0:11:20.280 one side, So now I'm sitting my dogs. Now you 0:11:20.360 --> 0:11:22.600 have matchup problems on the offensive line in a tight 0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:24.720 end and a running back front because you're bringing guys 0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:26.280 from the front of the second level when you bring 0:11:26.280 --> 0:11:29.520 guys from the secondary as well to create pressure. Yeah, 0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:32.480 it'd be interesting to see how they adjust without without 0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:35.439 Chandler Jones, because you know they've got Zach Allen there 0:11:35.440 --> 0:11:38.040 as as a down lineman, but maybe he could he 0:11:38.080 --> 0:11:41.920 could switch into more of that outside role. Hassan Reddick. 0:11:42.960 --> 0:11:45.480 They've got a guy guard Deck who's got two sacks, 0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:49.120 who's kind of stepped up for them. But aside from 0:11:49.160 --> 0:11:52.160 that Carolina game hight reference, they didn't get any pressure 0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:54.880 on Teddy Bridgewater at all. Besides that game, they've been 0:11:54.880 --> 0:11:56.960 pretty good in terms of kind of across the board, 0:11:57.000 --> 0:12:00.880 getting some pressure the middle pressure with Jordan Phillips Corey Peters. 0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:04.160 As Heckma mentioned, I think they've got fourteen sacks on 0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:06.520 the year, So yeah, I think to Isaiah's point, they 0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:09.960 feel like they probably can get pressure. They could be 0:12:10.160 --> 0:12:12.439 selective with their blitzes, but they might be able to 0:12:12.840 --> 0:12:14.760 you know, hold things down where they don't have to 0:12:14.800 --> 0:12:19.040 sacrifice their secondary on the back end and or trust 0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:21.600 those guys to do that without having to give him 0:12:21.640 --> 0:12:24.160 help back there. And we'll talk about the secondary coming 0:12:24.240 --> 0:12:26.480 up here in just a little bit. But of course, Kingsbury, 0:12:26.480 --> 0:12:29.880 and addressing Chandler Jones's absence, said he wasn't sure whether 0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:33.320 Vans Joseph, the defensive coordinator for Arizona, is actually going 0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:36.760 to make a single replacement for Jones at that outside 0:12:36.760 --> 0:12:39.520 linebacker spot, or it'll be a rotation with Fitz guard 0:12:39.520 --> 0:12:42.839 deck like Rob just mentioned, and also Reddick in there 0:12:42.880 --> 0:12:44.760 as well. There's a couple of guys that could fill 0:12:44.800 --> 0:12:47.000 that spot. But whenever you talk about that front seven 0:12:47.240 --> 0:12:50.040 and the pressure they put even without Chandler Jones being 0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:53.000 in the fold, and Isaiah, I know you've you've been 0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:56.000 critical of this offensive line that has played better over 0:12:56.040 --> 0:12:57.640 the last couple of weeks, But how do you feel 0:12:57.640 --> 0:13:01.040 like they match up specifically against the tackles on the outside. 0:13:03.080 --> 0:13:05.240 I think they match up okay right now. Honestly, I 0:13:05.280 --> 0:13:07.640 think I think they're okay. I think I'm more concerned 0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:10.839 with that internal, uh defensive line and the type of 0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:13.880 signs that they have up there. They're they're able when 0:13:13.880 --> 0:13:15.360 you watch them on the films, they're able to get 0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:18.000 some really good push um against there against the posting 0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:20.280 offensive line. So that's probably more of my concern than 0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:23.320 it is more so the edge rush um. And honestly, 0:13:23.360 --> 0:13:26.440 that presents a bigger issue for us because you know, 0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:28.680 because we have a Ricky in there as well, um, 0:13:28.720 --> 0:13:30.680 and you know we have him, we have Connor Williams, 0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:32.559 both of those guys who are a little light um 0:13:32.640 --> 0:13:34.880 lighting the butt as I would say, for interior alignment. 0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:37.760 So um, that's probably the biggest challenge. But in terms 0:13:37.800 --> 0:13:39.720 of our tackles and with the issues that we've been 0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:44.160 having in that regard, m I actually feel okay, yeah. 0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:47.200 And you know, for me, when I look at uh 0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:49.920 Zack Martin in the middle, I think he helps us 0:13:49.960 --> 0:13:54.400 tremendously at what you're alluding to, Isaiah, because he's the 0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:56.840 guy that you know next to be honest, which bey 0:13:56.880 --> 0:13:59.400 honest man is he's putting it out there man, and 0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:01.600 he is a oh he's going after people. I love 0:14:01.640 --> 0:14:05.080 what the rookie is doing. So I feel confident with that. 0:14:05.200 --> 0:14:07.679 I mean, Connor isn't going to be by himself and 0:14:07.720 --> 0:14:10.480 they'll be able to get him some some help. But 0:14:10.760 --> 0:14:13.560 you know they're gonna be the way that Arizona stacks 0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:16.680 and where their strength is is where we're stronger in 0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:19.080 our interior line, and that's you know, at the right 0:14:19.080 --> 0:14:23.400 guard position. So I'm looking forward to that matchup. Yeah, 0:14:23.440 --> 0:14:25.760 be honest, did a nice job, excuse me, in this 0:14:25.840 --> 0:14:28.560 first start. I think he gave up a sack second half, 0:14:28.560 --> 0:14:30.880 but overall, what he's been able to do really impressive. 0:14:31.160 --> 0:14:33.560 I thought this quote from Patrick Peterson guys was really 0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:37.520 interesting though, just in terms of the Cardinals approach potentially 0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:40.920 this game. He said he told CBS Sports stop the run. 0:14:41.400 --> 0:14:44.280 Definitely got to stop the run and force not saying 0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:46.800 he can't do it, but we have to force Andy 0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:49.720 Dalton to beat us. We feel if you, if you 0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:52.360 take the ball out of Ezekiel Elie's hands, there's more 0:14:52.400 --> 0:14:55.160 opportunities for bad things to happen if the ball is 0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:59.480 in the air. So and now he made I think 0:14:59.480 --> 0:15:00.960 he went out of way to say that wasn't a 0:15:01.040 --> 0:15:04.320 knock on Andy Dalton, but clearly that's their approach, and 0:15:04.720 --> 0:15:07.120 so how do they approve it? Like do they do 0:15:07.240 --> 0:15:09.040 they load up to stop the run or like A said, 0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:10.400 so they feel like they can just kind of play 0:15:10.440 --> 0:15:14.400 it straight and do it that way because that's been 0:15:14.560 --> 0:15:16.240 that's been a game plan of every team. That's been 0:15:16.240 --> 0:15:18.200 a game plan of every team we faced. I mean, 0:15:18.200 --> 0:15:20.520 I mean, yeah, nothing's sa that is that's I mean, 0:15:20.560 --> 0:15:22.400 that's the truth, right, He's not spending anything, he's not 0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:25.520 shooting any shots. I mean, we have averaged over what 0:15:25.840 --> 0:15:29.880 forty four passes I think this year per game. I mean, 0:15:29.920 --> 0:15:32.640 that's absurd, right, So, I mean it's just clear that 0:15:32.640 --> 0:15:34.520 way that teams are taking away the run and they're 0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:36.960 trying to make you know, before you know, before Dak 0:15:37.000 --> 0:15:39.240 got hurt, Dak was throwing it up there too. Luckily 0:15:39.280 --> 0:15:42.040 they weren't getting intercepted. But there's plenty of opportunities for 0:15:42.040 --> 0:15:44.640 teams to get I and T. So that's essentially what 0:15:44.720 --> 0:15:47.520 Patrick Peterson's alluding to. They are very confident in the 0:15:47.600 --> 0:15:51.840 secondary affair for right, for the very sole right reasons. Now, 0:15:52.200 --> 0:15:55.480 with that being said, and this could be a stupid question, 0:15:55.520 --> 0:15:57.560 but I'm gonna ask it anyways because I'm the host. 0:15:57.600 --> 0:16:01.320 But whenever it comes to taking care of the football 0:16:01.600 --> 0:16:04.040 and you we just talked about how the game plan 0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:06.120 hasn't changed, and you want to force Andy Dalton to 0:16:06.160 --> 0:16:08.800 throw the football, much like how Dak Prescott was forced 0:16:08.840 --> 0:16:12.080 to throw the football. Who are you more comfortable taking 0:16:12.120 --> 0:16:15.880 care of it and not turning over a couple different times? 0:16:16.000 --> 0:16:18.240 You think it's Andy Dalton or is it Dak Prescott? 0:16:18.440 --> 0:16:20.880 In terms of your two quarterbacks, I know Dak Prescott's 0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:22.640 out of the fold right now, but whenever who's back 0:16:22.680 --> 0:16:26.360 behind center? Who are you more comfortable having not turned 0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:30.360 over the footback? Okay? By how much of a margin? Though? 0:16:32.320 --> 0:16:36.840 Bye a lot? Really? Why bye a lot? He's He's right, 0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:39.240 I mean, because you look at the number statistically, he 0:16:39.280 --> 0:16:42.480 hasn't been a turnover machine. He may have had a 0:16:42.600 --> 0:16:45.680 year where he had thirteen interceptions, but if you go 0:16:45.760 --> 0:16:49.600 back to Andy Dalton's career, his tenure career, he's he's 0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:54.000 had a few well a year with fifteen or twenty interceptions, 0:16:54.000 --> 0:16:57.720 So that's I mean, that's I'm just basing it off 0:16:57.760 --> 0:17:00.600 of the numbers. I would he's he it's not a 0:17:00.640 --> 0:17:03.040 guy that turns the ball over. Hadn't been a guy 0:17:03.080 --> 0:17:05.440 that's turned the ball over this first four games. Obviously 0:17:06.119 --> 0:17:08.000 he was on a roll to go somewhere we didn't 0:17:08.000 --> 0:17:10.159 want to see. But at the same time, yeah, just 0:17:10.200 --> 0:17:12.560 based off of those numbers, I would say that, Okay, 0:17:13.560 --> 0:17:18.040 I feel more secure with with Andy personally, and obviously 0:17:18.080 --> 0:17:21.080 I liked but I think Andy's a better pastor. That's 0:17:21.200 --> 0:17:23.480 I just feel like he's just an all around better pastor. 0:17:23.560 --> 0:17:25.560 I think he's more experienced. I think he's seen more. 0:17:25.960 --> 0:17:27.679 I think he's going to be more confident with this 0:17:27.760 --> 0:17:30.000 office in line than Dak was because Dak was spoiled 0:17:30.040 --> 0:17:33.640 with his previous OFFICI lines now and now it's Andy 0:17:33.680 --> 0:17:35.480 Dozen's time to be spoiled. You know, even with this 0:17:35.560 --> 0:17:38.120 office and line, he's now spoiled compared to what he's 0:17:38.119 --> 0:17:39.880 had in the pass. So I think he has every 0:17:39.880 --> 0:17:42.760 reason to continue to be confident with his abilities. And 0:17:43.119 --> 0:17:44.800 he's done it for a while. And you know, you 0:17:44.840 --> 0:17:46.600 allude to some of the previous stats and I said, 0:17:46.640 --> 0:17:48.560 I'm not really a stat guy, but you know, look, 0:17:48.600 --> 0:17:50.120 look what he was doing it with you. I mean 0:17:50.119 --> 0:17:51.480 he was, he was he was having to try to 0:17:51.520 --> 0:17:53.840 force things with that with that squad man. So you know, 0:17:53.840 --> 0:17:56.600 I'm looking forward to seeing him, um now in this 0:17:56.800 --> 0:17:58.720 and this replacement role. I'm seeing what he does with this, 0:17:58.800 --> 0:18:02.640 with this opportunity, I would lean towards Dak just because 0:18:02.880 --> 0:18:06.240 I think he's had some some stretches in his career 0:18:06.280 --> 0:18:08.919 where he's turned it over too much and this is 0:18:08.960 --> 0:18:11.000 one of them. But but it's been such a weird 0:18:11.119 --> 0:18:14.480 start where they've I mean, when you throw it sixty 0:18:14.560 --> 0:18:18.400 times two straight games, like like Isaiah said, I mean, 0:18:18.520 --> 0:18:20.920 there's something that he got away with. But you're also 0:18:21.080 --> 0:18:23.600 trying to force it too, because you're trying to get 0:18:23.600 --> 0:18:26.120 back in the game, and it just it just lends 0:18:26.119 --> 0:18:30.000 itself to more high risk situations. So you know, I 0:18:30.040 --> 0:18:32.160 think Dalton's got They've got a chance to be more 0:18:32.600 --> 0:18:35.840 careful with the ball if they're more balanced, and if 0:18:35.880 --> 0:18:38.840 they try to get Zeke more involved, because like I 0:18:38.840 --> 0:18:40.919 think Patrick Peterson said it, when the balls in the air, 0:18:40.960 --> 0:18:42.800 there's just greater risks. Now you've got greater risk for 0:18:42.880 --> 0:18:45.920 big plays, and I think you win games mainly based 0:18:45.920 --> 0:18:49.080 off chunk plays. But I think they need to do 0:18:49.119 --> 0:18:51.120 what they can to help Andy Dalton out where he's 0:18:51.119 --> 0:18:53.680 not trying to just put it on his arm. And 0:18:53.720 --> 0:18:57.040 I agree with Heck by the fact of it being 0:18:57.160 --> 0:19:00.320 interception wise I think Dak Prescott was probably a little 0:19:00.320 --> 0:19:02.800 bit more conservative in the throws that he was willing 0:19:02.840 --> 0:19:05.120 to make. Andy Dalton's gonna take some shots. He's gonna 0:19:05.119 --> 0:19:08.000 take shots downfield. We saw that even in the game 0:19:08.000 --> 0:19:10.800 winning drive that he had with Michael Gallup. You're gonna 0:19:10.840 --> 0:19:13.480 see the ball push down field a little bit more 0:19:13.520 --> 0:19:17.000 with Andy Dalton. But it's something that I think is notable. 0:19:17.119 --> 0:19:20.560 Dak Prescott in his five seasons or I guess four 0:19:21.040 --> 0:19:24.280 in a quarter season's thirty four fumbles. Andy Dalton in 0:19:24.400 --> 0:19:28.240 nine career years has fifty seven, So just a couple 0:19:28.320 --> 0:19:31.919 more in about four pretty much five more years than 0:19:32.000 --> 0:19:35.440 Dak Prescott overall. Fumbling the football. That's not a stat 0:19:35.480 --> 0:19:37.600 that's brought up with quarterbacks a whole lot, but I 0:19:37.640 --> 0:19:40.440 think it does pay dividends in terms of holding onto 0:19:40.440 --> 0:19:43.000 the football and being ball secure whenever it comes to 0:19:43.000 --> 0:19:45.000 the table. We're gonna step aside when we come back, 0:19:45.040 --> 0:19:47.800 We're gonna talk about this secondary. How could the Cowboys 0:19:47.800 --> 0:19:51.720
