Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. Let's go. Are you
Speaker 1: ready for a break? Yes? Are you ready for a break? Absolutely?
Speaker 1: Ready for a break? Yeah? And so much for that.
Speaker 1: It's time for The Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: with Nick Eatman, David Hellman, and bar Garcia and Derek Eagleton.
Speaker 1: It is Thursday, September seventeenth, two twenty season sixteen, episode
Speaker 1: number twenty five. Welcome to another edition of The Break.
Speaker 1: We are live from the s WBC Mortgage Studios at
Speaker 1: the Star. Got David Amber also joining us here at
Speaker 1: the Star, and we got forty five minutes of Cowboys
Speaker 1: talk for you guys. Hopefully you will enjoy this next
Speaker 1: forty five minutes. We got a lot of stuff to
Speaker 1: get into. We're gonna talk about some personnel things. We're
Speaker 1: gonna talk about the Cowboys offense, uh, and we're gonna
Speaker 1: get into a little conversation with Bucky Brooks a little
Speaker 1: later in the show. He's going to break down the
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcon defense versus the Cowboys offense. First, let's jump
Speaker 1: though into a little talk around injuries and personnel. Jordan
Speaker 1: Lewis returned to practice yesterday. He's been out for a while.
Speaker 1: That means at this point, all players that are on
Speaker 1: the active roster are practicing looking good heading into the
Speaker 1: game against the Atlanta Falcons. How much does Jordan Lewis
Speaker 1: provide for this team? I guess coming back based upon
Speaker 1: what you guys saw during training camp. Nick, Well, he's
Speaker 1: the best slot guy, I think, and that's big in
Speaker 1: a situation like this, when you're facing a team like
Speaker 1: the Falcons that move their guys around a lot, So
Speaker 1: you know, he's gonna have to take on whoever's lining
Speaker 1: it up kind of in the slot, and I think
Speaker 1: that that just helps those other guys be more comfortable
Speaker 1: playing on the outside. So you know, and he's also
Speaker 1: I think the best playmaker on the defense, and he
Speaker 1: comes up gets the football in his hands more than
Speaker 1: anybody else. Not a lot, but it's more than the
Speaker 1: other guys, and so I think that, you know, those
Speaker 1: two things together, it's just it's just good to have
Speaker 1: more depth at a position that's already kind of lacking. Dave,
Speaker 1: who was the guy last week that that had the
Speaker 1: majority of those snacks snap snaps, they're in the slot,
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys that that presumably would be doing a
Speaker 1: little bit less this week. I guess would be Daryl Worley. Uh,
Speaker 1: he got a lot of looks there. Anthony browned too,
Speaker 1: but Worley got a lot of them. Wasn't a great
Speaker 1: night for him. I think I read um, I think
Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus said he gave up completion every time
Speaker 1: he was targeted. Um. Oh wow. Uh so that's good,
Speaker 1: consistently bad, not great. I do wonder though, I I'm
Speaker 1: you know, I thought it was interesting that you phrased it,
Speaker 1: you know, based on what we saw from Jordan during
Speaker 1: training camp. The answer to that is not a whole lot. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he got hurt in like the second padded practice, so
Speaker 1: he didn't really have much of one. So I would
Speaker 1: be I would be slightly surprised if he goes in
Speaker 1: and plays every single snap in the slot. I think
Speaker 1: you'll probably still see some shifting around and you know,
Speaker 1: Worley and maybe probably being part of that. But it
Speaker 1: can't be a bad thing to have an extra experienced
Speaker 1: cornerback available. Amber Lassa. Yesterday, Nick mentioned that the Brandon
Speaker 1: Carr was I guess replaced on the active roster. I
Speaker 1: don't know again, I don't know how this works as
Speaker 1: far as to take him down to practice squad and
Speaker 1: back up, but he's on the active roster. How much
Speaker 1: do you suspect this week they will maybe work him
Speaker 1: in or do you think are you hoping that maybe
Speaker 1: they work him in this week based upon what they're
Speaker 1: facing and what they have at cornerback and at safety.
Speaker 1: I would hope to be able to see kind of
Speaker 1: both of them, Jordan Lewis and Brandon Carr being worked in.
Speaker 1: I don't know how many guys like all those that
Speaker 1: affect your roster as far as how many people you
Speaker 1: have active and how many people you can actually work
Speaker 1: in in that specific position in the secondary, But ideally
Speaker 1: that's a position where I would want to see guys
Speaker 1: kind of rotate around, get guys to get some in
Speaker 1: game experience, and especially this veteran guys, just get them
Speaker 1: back in the group because to me, which is funny,
Speaker 1: because Jordan Lewis in previous years, he was always kind
Speaker 1: of like at the bottom behind everyone else. But to me,
Speaker 1: he's always been the one player that is a playmaker,
Speaker 1: gets to the ball, gets the ball in his hands.
Speaker 1: So I think that the Cowboys need to take advantage
Speaker 1: of that and hopefully get him at least as soon
Speaker 1: as possible in there. And Brandon Carr, well, he has
Speaker 1: the experience, so I would assume they work him in
Speaker 1: slowly as well. Yeah, Darian Thompson is a guy I
Speaker 1: wanted to talk a little bit about. He's a guy
Speaker 1: that I've actually been a fan of. I think he's
Speaker 1: done pretty decent job in the time he's been with
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, in the roles that they've given him. He
Speaker 1: now was a starter on this team, and so obviously
Speaker 1: expectations go up a bit. Last week there were a
Speaker 1: number of a couple of plays, two plays in particular,
Speaker 1: where I thought his run support wasn't great. One of
Speaker 1: them was on a touchdown where he got into the hole.
Speaker 1: He diagnosed the play crup properly, he just couldn't make
Speaker 1: the stop. And I do wonder if you know you
Speaker 1: can't do what you can't do it. You know, he's
Speaker 1: not a big guy. He's not what I would consider
Speaker 1: to be a big safety. And so I guess with
Speaker 1: all that being said, i'd like to hear from you guys,
Speaker 1: what are your thoughts on Dari and Thompson particularly and
Speaker 1: how he performed last week versus the Rams, Well, I
Speaker 1: think he had. He had eleven tackles, I believe, and
Speaker 1: that's what the statue said. He might have had more
Speaker 1: than that when it was all said and done, and
Speaker 1: I think that's not a good thing for a safety.
Speaker 1: That means your linebackers and it means your defensive tackles
Speaker 1: are letting too many plays go through. I thought he
Speaker 1: was physical enough to make some plays. We're talking about
Speaker 1: Malcolm Brown right from the front. I mean, he's a
Speaker 1: big he's a big d Yeah, that's that's not that's
Speaker 1: not going to be a favorable matchup for him. But
Speaker 1: I think to have that mini tackles. He's a physical safety,
Speaker 1: physical enough, and you know he's not always gonna win
Speaker 1: some of those big, lumbering backs in at the goal line.
Speaker 1: But I thought he was okay there. I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't think that was it. But he's just not a
Speaker 1: dynamic player and that's that that's maybe what they need. Dave,
Speaker 1: what are your thoughts on Darian Thompson. I feel really
Speaker 1: good about Darien Thompson as the third safety on your team.
Speaker 1: Like if he's your third safety and your special team's
Speaker 1: ace then that seems pretty good. If he's your starter
Speaker 1: and you're asking him to be dynamic, that's probably not
Speaker 1: very good. Which that should sound a lot like Jeff
Speaker 1: Heath because the Cowboys love doing that. They love promoting
Speaker 1: guys into starting roles who were good at special teams
Speaker 1: and other stuff like that. Um, you know, we don't
Speaker 1: have to do it right now. They don't. They don't
Speaker 1: seem to value safety play the same way as a
Speaker 1: lot of other teams. Um. I don't really I don't
Speaker 1: want to knock Darian Thompson because he's just doing with
Speaker 1: that stuff him basically, like he's in that situation, Um,
Speaker 1: because of the Cowboys choices at stocking their roster. Basically,
Speaker 1: So you know, he had I thought he was all right,
Speaker 1: Yeah he I mean he had at least a couple
Speaker 1: of plays where I thought he could have made a
Speaker 1: better tackle. Um, it is what it is, basically. I mean,
Speaker 1: we don't think that they're gonna go get Earl Thomas.
Speaker 1: So this is what they're working with for the time being.
Speaker 1: Although I meant to say Mike McCarthy said this morning, Uh,
Speaker 1: they are gonna you know, Brandon Carter didn't play a
Speaker 1: snap last week. I think that's gonna change. I think
Speaker 1: they're gonna see a little bit hard. I think we
Speaker 1: think we lost day for a second. There. Uh, Dave
Speaker 1: did mention, Dave, you're there, Dave, there's a spot for
Speaker 1: you down Okay. Uh they Dave did mention, though he
Speaker 1: did mention Earl Thomas, and I do want to and
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, I think it's something that
Speaker 1: almost every week we're probably going to have at least
Speaker 1: a question about Earl Tom as long as he's a
Speaker 1: free agent number one and number two, as long as
Speaker 1: we're seeing play from the Cowboys defense that you think
Speaker 1: could be better. Right, and so my question for you
Speaker 1: is not necessarily do you think the Cowboys will make
Speaker 1: this move? Because we know right now, as of what
Speaker 1: we see right now, it doesn't suggest that they are
Speaker 1: actively pursuing him or vice versa. Do you think can
Speaker 1: I ask you this, Derek? Sure? Can I jump in
Speaker 1: real quickly because I do see a lot of people
Speaker 1: on social media writing and all that, and I'm trying
Speaker 1: to keep the fans plugged into this whole conversation as well.
Speaker 1: One of the biggest questions that I constantly see is
Speaker 1: them asking what's really the reason as to why the
Speaker 1: Cowboys haven't made this move yet, whether they wanted to
Speaker 1: sign him or not, what's really stopping them or just
Speaker 1: what's really going on there? Do you guys know, I
Speaker 1: don't think that the Cowboys feel like he's healthy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's interesting. I don't. I think that's that's a fear
Speaker 1: that they have. Are you saying mentally healthy or physically healthy? Healthy? Love?
Speaker 1: I mean absolutely love how Nick does things like, I mean,
Speaker 1: he put he puts that out there, and when he
Speaker 1: puts it out there, you can tell it's more to
Speaker 1: it than jess he's got a bum knee or a
Speaker 1: bum shoulder, Like, there's more to it. Because I've worked
Speaker 1: with you so long, I know you're saying more than
Speaker 1: what you're saying. So tell me what you're saying. I
Speaker 1: will break, Okay. I just he's got a lot of
Speaker 1: issues in his life. He's got he's got a lot
Speaker 1: of stuff. Is it worth what he is on the field?
Speaker 1: And it's and that's probably a tough question because he's
Speaker 1: he's a good football player. He still is. He was
Speaker 1: in the Pro Bowl last year. He was a good player.
Speaker 1: And I just don't know if the Cowboys are saying
Speaker 1: it is all this as he going to be what
Speaker 1: we need and be. Is he gonna be worth what
Speaker 1: we think would be some headaches? Is he ready to
Speaker 1: play football? I don't know. I don't know if he's
Speaker 1: one hundred percent healthy. And I think the Cowboys are
Speaker 1: trying to figure this out. You know, they're also trying
Speaker 1: to figure out if they really you need him? Can
Speaker 1: Darian Thompson plays he good enough? I don't know if
Speaker 1: he's proved that he was, Dave, were you about to
Speaker 1: say something? I think we got you back? Now? Am
Speaker 1: I back? Can you hear your back? Yeah? You're back? Okay,
Speaker 1: just making sure sorry? Um yeah, No, I mean I
Speaker 1: don't think it was like, I don't think anybody was lying.
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of concerns about whether or
Speaker 1: not Earl Thomas is worth the headache. Like I think
Speaker 1: that was actually a true storyline. And but I will say,
Speaker 1: and I've said this before and I'll say it again,
Speaker 1: it's safety. And I already said it was tight end
Speaker 1: this week too. Is like not being losing games and
Speaker 1: not being good has a way of changing your opinion
Speaker 1: of whether or not something's worth it. Like Amari Cooper's
Speaker 1: not worth a first round pick until you're averaging one
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy passing yards a game, and then you
Speaker 1: change your mind about it real quick. So that's what
Speaker 1: And I don't, you know, I don't know what they're
Speaker 1: gonna do or if it's gonna happen, But I don't
Speaker 1: think you can close that book completely until we see
Speaker 1: what this secondary looks like over longer period of time.
Speaker 1: Do you guys, it sounds like you guys had a
Speaker 1: fairly decent view of Darian Thompson and what he did
Speaker 1: in Week one. Do you think this is a week
Speaker 1: where they should consider using Brandon car at least on
Speaker 1: some snaps at safety or do you think you stick
Speaker 1: with safety as is and maybe if you're going to
Speaker 1: use him, you look at using him maybe at the
Speaker 1: cornerback position. I think I don't know if I just
Speaker 1: be dynamic on defense because you know the Falcons will
Speaker 1: be you know, Julio's gonna line up different spots, so
Speaker 1: you have to be dynamic too. You have a corner
Speaker 1: who's a veteran who can play safety. He could play
Speaker 1: both spots. You know, he understands, he's seen a lot
Speaker 1: of things, a lot of football in his life. You
Speaker 1: need to use him in a way that maybe the
Speaker 1: Falcons aren't necessarily expecting. So I don't think it's just
Speaker 1: one way. I think you got to disguise a lot
Speaker 1: of things because you know the Falcons will. Sorry, Dave,
Speaker 1: my audio might have cut out earlier, but Mike McCarthy
Speaker 1: did say the goal is to up Brandon cars reps.
Speaker 1: I think they have a better grasp on what he's
Speaker 1: comfortable with. So, you know, I don't think he's gonna
Speaker 1: start or play sixty snaps, but I do think we'll
Speaker 1: see car out there this weekend at least a little bit.
Speaker 1: I would imagine. Yeah, I don't think. I don't get
Speaker 1: the idea that they would put him out on the
Speaker 1: boundary with any of those receivers, but maybe as a
Speaker 1: hybrid role, maybe as your third safety or coming in
Speaker 1: as a safety and spot situations, stuff like that subpackage stuff.
Speaker 1: You know. My first thought when I saw that was
Speaker 1: is this And Mike McCarthy has talked a lot about this.
Speaker 1: He believes football is a matchup game, and he believes
Speaker 1: it's all about every week trying to find matchups. My
Speaker 1: thought was, is this the week where Brandon car is
Speaker 1: a guy that maybe they can use on a Hayden Hurst.
Speaker 1: He is a bigger guy. He comes in and I
Speaker 1: think he becomes the biggest cornerback the Cowboys have. I think,
Speaker 1: certainly of those of those starting cornerbacks, is he a
Speaker 1: guy that maybe they think a certain situations they want
Speaker 1: to match up with Julio. Now I'm not saying he
Speaker 1: can cover Julio, but I do think again, if you're
Speaker 1: trying to look at matchups and you're trying to look
Speaker 1: at body types, I think Brandon Carter might give you
Speaker 1: some options there from the standpoint of some bigger body
Speaker 1: types that you might face this week. What do you
Speaker 1: guys think? I think that sounds like a good plan. YEA, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a plan. It's just a plan, right. I Mean
Speaker 1: sometimes when you tight ends have given this team problems,
Speaker 1: you know, and so if you if you have a
Speaker 1: guy that can play safety for you, you know, I
Speaker 1: hear that all the time. If you have like a
Speaker 1: zach Ertz, They're like, we'll just put your cornerback on them.
Speaker 1: That's not a good thing to put your cornerback on
Speaker 1: a tight end, because what does that mean for the
Speaker 1: other matchup, So to have a safety slat who's got
Speaker 1: cornerback experience. That seems like a good plan to being.
Speaker 1: I like it. Tell McCarthy that I like it all right.
Speaker 1: I will make it sure. I send him an email
Speaker 1: as soon as this show is over and let him
Speaker 1: know what we're thinking here on the break, we're gonna
Speaker 1: take our first break and we come back. We're gonna
Speaker 1: jump into the Dallas offense. I got some questions for
Speaker 1: these guys about the offense and how it performed last
Speaker 1: week and then looking forward to their matchup against this

Speaker 1: second segment of The Break live from the s WBC
Speaker 1: Mortgage studios. At the start, Dick, you got something for
Speaker 1: us over there, I do, I got I got something
Speaker 1: for us here. I think what we need to do
Speaker 1: is find now I don't have it. Okay, we got
Speaker 1: all kinds of things going on over the studio. Guys,
Speaker 1: We're gonna get this worked out. I promise. All right,
Speaker 1: let's talk a little bit about the Cowboys offense. There
Speaker 1: are several things I kind of want to go through here,
Speaker 1: and one that's a big picture. One question out for
Speaker 1: you is a big picture. I guess we'll start with
Speaker 1: that one. You look at the around the NFL. The Cowboys,
Speaker 1: the Panthers, the Giants, and the Browns all lost in
Speaker 1: Week one. The Reds, I'm sorry, the Washington football team
Speaker 1: the only team in the NFL that has a new
Speaker 1: coach that actually won in Week one. All those other
Speaker 1: four teams lost in Week one. My question for you
Speaker 1: guys is how much do you think that the new
Speaker 1: coaches have been disadvanced about what's happened this offseason? Typically
Speaker 1: they get a few more practices, they get to bring
Speaker 1: their team back a little sooner, because I think there's
Speaker 1: a recognized thing in the NFL that being a new
Speaker 1: coach requires some extra time in order to get your
Speaker 1: team up to speed with everything that's happened with the
Speaker 1: pandemic and coronavirus, like, they haven't had that kind of time.
Speaker 1: How much do you think they've been disadvantaged going into
Speaker 1: this season. We'll start first with you Amber. Well, it's
Speaker 1: obviously gonna always be a disadvantage when you're not able
Speaker 1: to get everyone in the same place in person and
Speaker 1: go through things physically together. But at the same time,
Speaker 1: it sounds to me like everything I heard during this
Speaker 1: off season, we're just great things that the virtual program
Speaker 1: went well and everything was going as planned, and they
Speaker 1: were gonna take this as an advantage as to not
Speaker 1: allowing other people to watch anything that they did during preseason.
Speaker 1: So and I remember we had this discussion is similar
Speaker 1: discussion several weeks ago, and I think it was it
Speaker 1: might have been naked that brought up the whole thing. Well,
Speaker 1: you can hide everything that you want, but at the
Speaker 1: same time, you're not actually practicing and actually doing it
Speaker 1: with the team, so that that can always come back
Speaker 1: and hurt you. And I guess that's what happened, at
Speaker 1: least with the Cowboys. I can't speak for other teams
Speaker 1: necessarily because I haven't been keeping up with them as
Speaker 1: much as I have with the Cowboys, but I think regardless,
Speaker 1: it's always going to be a disadvantage. But at the
Speaker 1: same time, from the sounds of it, it didn't seem
Speaker 1: like it was a huge hurdle because of the technology
Speaker 1: and everything that they were doing this offseason. Dave, Yeah,
Speaker 1: way to go. Age took the words right out of
Speaker 1: my mouth. I thought it was an awesome advantage that
Speaker 1: nobody knew what they were up to. That was kind
Speaker 1: of the talking point for the last six weeks. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously there's gonna be disadvantages that come with it,
Speaker 1: but every team in the league, nobody was able to
Speaker 1: have OTAs or mini camp, and I know some teams
Speaker 1: have been around longer, but that doesn't make it any
Speaker 1: easier to get ready for football without preseason and practice
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. On top of that, a team
Speaker 1: like the Rams, they've been doing the same thing for
Speaker 1: three or four years at this point, So you know,
Speaker 1: the Cowboys had a pretty good book to consult on
Speaker 1: what they were going to do. So, I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: not buying this. It is true, but I'm not buying
Speaker 1: it as a worthwhile excuse. Nick. Yeah, I mean I
Speaker 1: do think it was. It was a disadvantage for him
Speaker 1: more than anything. I think not having preseason games probably
Speaker 1: hurt the Cowboys more than it hurt, you know, hurt
Speaker 1: the Rams, of course, and because you got you gotta
Speaker 1: remember preseason games. Yeah, it's not about just the players,
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, Okay, Zeke gets ten snaps in preseason,
Speaker 1: now you got zero. But it's the ill tell you
Speaker 1: who plays every single snap, and that's the coaching staff.
Speaker 1: They know where they're sitting, they know who challenges a place,
Speaker 1: They know how to call in a play really quickly
Speaker 1: and who doing this and who would have talked to
Speaker 1: a guy on the sideline. They don't take plays off
Speaker 1: in the preseason so they didn't have any of that.
Speaker 1: I thought that was it was probably a show that
Speaker 1: I mean, I bet you it was a cluster down
Speaker 1: there for them as opposed to maybe other staffs that
Speaker 1: are more you know, well in tune with with what's
Speaker 1: going on. Again, non excuse, you have to go do it,
Speaker 1: but I guarantee that coaching staff missed the preseason games. Yeah,
Speaker 1: to be honest with I think what I've come to
Speaker 1: the conclusion of is just I don't think the Cowboys
Speaker 1: and I don't know if this happened in the other games,
Speaker 1: I can't really speak to that, but I don't think
Speaker 1: the Cowboys took full advantage of the fact that they
Speaker 1: had a team that was on film doing exactly what
Speaker 1: they did to them on Sunday, and it looked like
Speaker 1: their team wasn't prepared to defend that, and that to
Speaker 1: me was the biggest travesty of all of it. And
Speaker 1: on top of that, we didn't really see the Cowboys
Speaker 1: do new and different things like they did an offset
Speaker 1: by saying, Okay, we're hiding all this stuff, so we're
Speaker 1: gonna do all We're gonna throw all these new and
Speaker 1: different wrinkles at you. That you're not prepared for. So
Speaker 1: they didn't take care of it on that side of it.
Speaker 1: And then they also didn't take advantage of the fact
Speaker 1: that they had the other team on film all this time,
Speaker 1: for these last several years. They knew exactly what they
Speaker 1: like to do, and it didn't seem like they were
Speaker 1: prepared for that. So all the way around, I don't
Speaker 1: think the Cowboys took full advantage of their opportunity to
Speaker 1: hide and to be able to have their opponent be seen.
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on to the next question at
Speaker 1: for you guys, Atlanta's defense front. They sack Russell Wilson
Speaker 1: last week three times? How concerned to you at the
Speaker 1: Dallas offensive line, which we know they have some issues there,
Speaker 1: we'll be able to match up against these pass rushers
Speaker 1: for Atlanta. Let's start first with you Nick Well, I
Speaker 1: think you know, we'll see how good Terrence Steele is,
Speaker 1: you know, in the second game. But but I do
Speaker 1: think that we said it last week. I mean, I
Speaker 1: think Aaron Donald kind of presented such a huge problem
Speaker 1: across the line. You have to give so much, you know,
Speaker 1: looks towards him and and you know, everything his way.
Speaker 1: You've got to figure out where he is, and so
Speaker 1: I think it's hard to give help to everybody, especially
Speaker 1: when you need it for for a guy like Aaron Donald.
Speaker 1: So but Atlanta will bring, you know, their share pass rushers.
Speaker 1: I think it makes sure if Terren Steele can kind
Speaker 1: of hold up his own on the right side, I
Speaker 1: think they should be pretty good. But that's that's a
Speaker 1: big if because he's still a young guy. Amber Man.
Speaker 1: I am still heartbroken at the fact that Blake Jarwin
Speaker 1: is out because I think not only is he good
Speaker 1: at catching balls and was having a great camp blah
Speaker 1: blah blah, but everything that I saw from him at
Speaker 1: training camp, I was hoping he would be able to
Speaker 1: help a lot more blocking and helping the offense in
Speaker 1: that way as well. He had done a pretty good
Speaker 1: job at that. So it sucks that at least don't
Speaker 1: I don't see any current tight end being able to
Speaker 1: help with the blocking at that level that I was
Speaker 1: expecting Blake Jarwin to do. But all you know, I
Speaker 1: think that everything that I saw from Steele honestly wasn't terrible.
Speaker 1: I feel okay at having him there the position. At
Speaker 1: least we're the next few what two more games before
Speaker 1: we get Collinsy. We were talking about the whole season.
Speaker 1: That's a different story, But as of now and for
Speaker 1: this upcoming game, I think that the Cowboys can't handle that. Dave.
Speaker 1: It's funny because I mean, obviously the Falcons don't have
Speaker 1: a defender on Aaron Donald's caliber. Nobody does. But Grady
Speaker 1: Jarrett's no slouch. He is a very good interior pass rusher.
Speaker 1: So you know, Connor Williams and Joe Looney are probably
Speaker 1: gonna have their hands full again. And I think maybe
Speaker 1: this is debatable, maybe this is a question for Bucky.
Speaker 1: I think I like the pair of Tack McKinley and
Speaker 1: Dante Fowler more than the guys that were edge rushing
Speaker 1: for the Rams. You know, we talked about how we
Speaker 1: didn't think that Rams edge rushers were all that special
Speaker 1: and it was really more about Donald. So lesser interior
Speaker 1: still good though, and then better edge rushers, I would guess,
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, it's something to be worried about.
Speaker 1: I'll just say, you know, I guess the silver lining
Speaker 1: is Russell Wilson might have gotten sacked three times, it
Speaker 1: didn't stop him from just slicing and dicing that secondary, so, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, hopefully I think a heavier emphasis on play
Speaker 1: action maybe and getting Dak moving. It seems like, I
Speaker 1: know he scrambled a little bit, but that that bootleg
Speaker 1: element of his game that we've seen so much over
Speaker 1: the years didn't really seem like it was a thing
Speaker 1: last week, and maybe that would maybe that would be
Speaker 1: a good idea to kind of mitigate the fact that
Speaker 1: Terrence Steele is out there. Yeah, I think I agree
Speaker 1: with you, Dave that if you look across this Atlanta
Speaker 1: defensive front, I think they got more horses than the
Speaker 1: Rams do. I think this is going to be a
Speaker 1: classic case of the deciding do you want the one
Speaker 1: guy that can wreck everything and then everybody else kind
Speaker 1: of feeds off of that, or having several guys who
Speaker 1: all at any given moment can wreck right, And so
Speaker 1: I think that's where what you're facing this week is
Speaker 1: you got three guys then I think are a legitimate
Speaker 1: good NFL pass rushers that can get generate some pressure.
Speaker 1: That's going to be a lane for the Cowboys offensive line.
Speaker 1: I think trying to match up and not necessarily being
Speaker 1: able to focus just on one guy, but now having
Speaker 1: a number of guys that can be a problem for
Speaker 1: them and even given time. Let's go ahead and move
Speaker 1: on to the next question I have for you guys
Speaker 1: going back to last season, how what do you think
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore is doing as your play caller? And if
Speaker 1: you had one thing that you would like to see
Speaker 1: him do more or do less, what would it be.
Speaker 1: We're gonna start first with you, Nick Um. I think
Speaker 1: he's done okay. You know, kind of liked to grade him.
Speaker 1: I would say like eight and eight kind of was
Speaker 1: what he did last year, kind of like right at
Speaker 1: the middle. He did great against teams that weren't very good.
Speaker 1: He struggled against I mean they didn't they didn't do
Speaker 1: anything against teams that were really pretty good on defense.
Speaker 1: So for a first year coordinator, you know, I thought
Speaker 1: he did okay, But I mean he's got to be better.
Speaker 1: What I think he needs to be more dynamic with
Speaker 1: is just things that you haven't seen. I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: it's I don't know. I always think it's kind of weird.
Speaker 1: Is a guy who's kind of his personality is kind
Speaker 1: of dry. Is he going to be dynamic as a
Speaker 1: play caller? I mean, I don't know. Is that does
Speaker 1: that happen. I mean, the best coach in NFL history
Speaker 1: is about as blah as you can get from a
Speaker 1: personality standpoint. He seems to always pull something out of
Speaker 1: his act that keeps his team among the best in
Speaker 1: the NFL. Right, So, I don't know, I don't know
Speaker 1: if that necessarily correlates for me I'm talking about. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I just I just want to see more
Speaker 1: cool stuff. I'm with you on that. Amber Well. I
Speaker 1: guess he deserves credit for having the number one offense
Speaker 1: last year, so the kudos to him on his first
Speaker 1: year of coaching as a coordinator. But for this year,
Speaker 1: I think, um, I agree with Nick be just be
Speaker 1: more dynamic on offense, cream or plays. I remember him
Speaker 1: talking a lot about these wrinkles, and I'm still waiting
Speaker 1: to see more ankles, because when you talk about wrinkles,
Speaker 1: that's more than two little things little stripes. I was
Speaker 1: expecting a lot more. But I do have a question.
Speaker 1: And I know that a lot of fans are talking
Speaker 1: about the play caller and Mike McCarthy versus Kellen Moore
Speaker 1: and who should be the play caller? And I remember
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy was very clear about his impressions on Kellen
Speaker 1: Moore and saying and making sure that, Okay, this is
Speaker 1: the play caller. I don't want to step on his toes.
Speaker 1: I want to let him do his thing. But what's
Speaker 1: how difficult is it on game day to just kind
Speaker 1: of have a combination of both working side by side
Speaker 1: together and making decisions together. I know that in real time,
Speaker 1: I'm sure that's difficult to do, but do you see
Speaker 1: that often in the NFL? Like, just how do you
Speaker 1: work together between having maybe two play callers? I mean,
Speaker 1: you're not gonna have You're not gonna have two guys
Speaker 1: calling the offense because I think there's too much potential
Speaker 1: for wires to be crossed. But to paraphrase Jason Garrett,
Speaker 1: I mean that's an ongoing collective deal tip. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's that's what those headsets are for. You know, Kellen
Speaker 1: Moore comes up with what he wants and Mike McCarthy's
Speaker 1: obviously going to have final say. I would be very
Speaker 1: surprised if Kellen Moore just has carte blanche like obviously
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy has the power to override that or offer
Speaker 1: his input. I you know, I really think we need
Speaker 1: to run here. I don't know how I feel about that.
Speaker 1: So that's an every snap deal, and I think it's
Speaker 1: very rare for it not to be that way, Like
Speaker 1: you know, like Sean Payton with the Saints, probably Sean McVay.
Speaker 1: Head coaches who call the offense, it's a little bit different,
Speaker 1: But in a situation like that, I think it's you know,
Speaker 1: it's collaboration basically on every snap of the game. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know. I'll be interested to see as this season
Speaker 1: goes on. If this offense is again and I don't
Speaker 1: think the offense struggled, I wouldn't put it in the category.
Speaker 1: If they struggled last week, I will say they didn't
Speaker 1: live up to what I think their potential is. And
Speaker 1: I do wonder if that becomes a theme for this
Speaker 1: offense where they're not quite as good as we think
Speaker 1: they should be. I do wonder at some point if
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy decides that he wants to be more involved
Speaker 1: in the play calling or actually take the play calling.
Speaker 1: By the way, there have been some really good play
Speaker 1: callers in the NFL that have gotten those duties taken
Speaker 1: from them. And if by the head coach. I remember
Speaker 1: Sean Payton being here and Bill Parcels taking those responsibilities
Speaker 1: from him, and he went on to be Sean Payton, right,
Speaker 1: So it happens, and I don't think that you know, again,
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore is very very early in his NFL coaching career.
Speaker 1: This is a very extremely inexperienced coordinator in the NFL.
Speaker 1: He didn't really do have a much of a coaching
Speaker 1: career before he became a coordinator. And so I think,
Speaker 1: you know, when you factor all that in, you got
Speaker 1: a guy like Mike McCarthy, and that is extremely experienced
Speaker 1: as a head coach, extremely experienced as a play caller.
Speaker 1: I do wonder at some point, if he's not getting
Speaker 1: the results that he wants, does Mike McCarthy take over
Speaker 1: and kind of impose his will bit more or take
Speaker 1: those responsibilities back. He probably does that more during the
Speaker 1: Pope ahead, guys, but no, go ahead. I just hope,
Speaker 1: I hope, I hope they open it up a little
Speaker 1: bit more before Mike McCarthy makes the situation, makes a
Speaker 1: decision like that, because I mean, I agree with you, Derek.
Speaker 1: I don't think they struggled, you know, Dak almost throw
Speaker 1: for three hundred and Zeke had one hundred and thirty
Speaker 1: and all purpose and two touchdowns. They just couldn't convert
Speaker 1: on third down. I think that's that's the real difference.
Speaker 1: But to Nick's point, like they just looked kind of boring,
Speaker 1: they looked very similar to what they looked like last year.
Speaker 1: I'm stealing these stats from Seth Walder on Twitter, but
Speaker 1: he charted every team in the NFL in Week one
Speaker 1: and how often they put guys in motion and how
Speaker 1: often they had guys in motion at the snap of
Speaker 1: the ball. The Cowboys only had a guy in motion
Speaker 1: at the snap of the ball on four point three
Speaker 1: percent of their snaps, and for reference, the Rams did
Speaker 1: it thirty four percent of the time. A third of
Speaker 1: the time the Rams had a receiver crossing the formation
Speaker 1: or a guy creating misdirection when they snapped the ball.
Speaker 1: It puts so much stress on a defense, and the
Speaker 1: Cowboys are just like, no, we don't really want to
Speaker 1: do that. They also, I think I think dak only
Speaker 1: did play action ten times on thirty nine attempts, and
Speaker 1: when you have a guy like Zeke Elliott, you should
Speaker 1: probably be doing it more than that, in my opinion,
Speaker 1: So I don't think you have to tweak a whole
Speaker 1: lot to make this thing a little bit more dynamic.
Speaker 1: And I hope that they give Kellen Moore a chance
Speaker 1: to do some of that, but you know, before they
Speaker 1: make some kind of decision about changing the play caller.
Speaker 1: I do think the assumption there with what you were saying, Dave,
Speaker 1: is that that somebody is holding him back. It could
Speaker 1: be one of situations where he needs to let himself
Speaker 1: be freer, let himself do more things. Maybe that's not
Speaker 1: something that he's being held from. Maybe he's just not
Speaker 1: being as creative or really pushing on those kinds of
Speaker 1: things to give this offense a little more of a
Speaker 1: dynamic feel. And but did you have something you want
Speaker 1: throwing there? I was going to mention, you know, it
Speaker 1: says a lot looking at the coaching staff that Mike
Speaker 1: McCarthy put together, The fact that he brought in so
Speaker 1: many experienced guys, which is something that wasn't usual to
Speaker 1: see here with the Cowboys. Usually you see a lot
Speaker 1: of guys that don't that end up having coaching jobs
Speaker 1: with not much experience behind them, and the fact that
Speaker 1: he decided to keep Kellen Moore as the offensive coordinator.
Speaker 1: I think that it says a lot. He must see
Speaker 1: something in him and fully trust his abilities to coach.
Speaker 1: So I guess I mean the him with so much
Speaker 1: experience that he has Mike McCarthy, the fact that he
Speaker 1: sees this young guy and is giving him that kind
Speaker 1: of power. I'm gonna give him the benefit of the
Speaker 1: doubt and just hope that it works out to his advantage.
Speaker 1: You know, that's a great point, Amber, because the fact
Speaker 1: that Mike has all the experience that I just was
Speaker 1: talking about, and he entrusted the offense to Kellen Moore
Speaker 1: when it could have been very easy for him to say, Hey,
Speaker 1: I'm coming as a new head coach, I'm going to
Speaker 1: call my own plays. I don't think anybody would have
Speaker 1: faulted him for that. The fact that he said I'd
Speaker 1: rather keep Kellen Moore as my guy to call plays,
Speaker 1: that speaks a lot. So I think that's a I
Speaker 1: think that's a great point. We're gonna go and take
Speaker 1: our final break. When we come back, hopefully we'll have
Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks joining us here. We have some other questions
Speaker 1: we're gonna get to as well. Do all that. In

Speaker 1: It was terrible. I mean, I don't know. I was
Speaker 1: being in my own suite, like I said, that was
Speaker 1: cool for about thirty seconds, and then I was like
Speaker 1: this sucks. I mean just because I didn't have my
Speaker 1: team here at number one, and then I didn't have
Speaker 1: you know, the guy mispronouncing names up there, and I
Speaker 1: mean I would have taken that big time. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, we are joined now. We are joined now
Speaker 1: by Bucky Brooks of NFL Network. Thanks Bucky for joining us. Today.
Speaker 1: We're talking Atlanta Falcons defense versus the Cowboys. Offense, and
Speaker 1: as I do every day when we have you on,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start with the big picture question. Talk to
Speaker 1: me about their greatest strength and then their greatest weakness
Speaker 1: as a defensive unit. I think the greatest strength defensively
Speaker 1: is just their overall team speed. This is a fast defense.
Speaker 1: They put a premier on making sure that they've collected
Speaker 1: a ton of what they call urgent athletes. They have
Speaker 1: guys that can go from side on the sideline and
Speaker 1: can play very explosive players. And I think it starts
Speaker 1: upfront with Grady Jarrett. They've complimented him by going and
Speaker 1: get Dante Fowler. So upfront they have guys that can
Speaker 1: really get after attack. McKinley has kind of come on board,
Speaker 1: even though they didn't pick up his fifth year option,
Speaker 1: played like a madman a week ago, and so upfront
Speaker 1: they're talented. Dion Jones is the guy that controls them
Speaker 1: in the middle, and then Kean O'Neil is a guy
Speaker 1: that is they're enforcing down the middle. So like most
Speaker 1: defenses that are good, they're strong right down the middle.
Speaker 1: They just have to do a good job of getting
Speaker 1: good play on the corners. Now, looking at the defense,
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Fulton's defense and looking at some of what
Speaker 1: the Cowboys were able to do last week. Which area
Speaker 1: do you expect the Cowboys to be able to exploit
Speaker 1: the most in this game? The running game or the
Speaker 1: passing game? When after that you're gonna look at the
Speaker 1: yards and see how effishing Russell Wilson was thirty one
Speaker 1: for thirty five had three hundred and fifty yards and
Speaker 1: think that the Cowboys should air it out. But really,
Speaker 1: the Cowboys on offense have to think about protecting their defense.
Speaker 1: This may be a game where Ezekiel Elliott plays a
Speaker 1: huge role as they continue to try and keep the
Speaker 1: ball away from the Falcons. Ezekiel Elliott has to get
Speaker 1: twenty five or more touches. They have to put him
Speaker 1: over the one hundred yard mark. If they are running
Speaker 1: the ball efficiently and effectively, that is the best way.
Speaker 1: Because the problems come when you expose that offensive line
Speaker 1: to this front four. You can't put them in long
Speaker 1: yard of situations and allow the Falcons to tee off
Speaker 1: on this offensive line. Bucky, I don't know the roster
Speaker 1: for the Falcons like I should. Is Adrian Claiborne on
Speaker 1: the team? No? Man, Adrian Claiborne. I think he's still around.
Speaker 1: I think the big thing has been Dante foul attat MCKI.
Speaker 1: They upgraded there by d N Jones being a major
Speaker 1: factor there, and then the Nickel package that they have.
Speaker 1: They play a five safety front. They drop Kean O'Neil
Speaker 1: down in the box. So this is a team that
Speaker 1: is a little different in terms of unorthodox four two five,
Speaker 1: but they can get after you because they have a
Speaker 1: ton of athletes. Bucky, we actually talked about this in
Speaker 1: the which No, Nick, Adrian Clayborne is not there anymore.
Speaker 1: I see what you did there. Yeah, No, it was
Speaker 1: definitely the joke of Nick to day. Would you would
Speaker 1: you agree that, I mean, maybe they're not all pros,
Speaker 1: but this is a better edge rushing situation than they
Speaker 1: saw last week. Would you agree? By far, by far,
Speaker 1: a much more complete and more explosive set of edge rushers.
Speaker 1: They can come at you in waves. Dante Fowler is
Speaker 1: a guy that certainly has the power and explosiveness to
Speaker 1: give you problems. Had a half sack a week ago.
Speaker 1: And then Tad McKinley is a high mortor athletic player,
Speaker 1: and so we saw the way that they isolated Terry
Speaker 1: Steele last week. They were able to take a wide
Speaker 1: nine alignment, get them one on one, and they did
Speaker 1: some things to be able to keep the Cowboys from
Speaker 1: helping out. I think you're going to see some of
Speaker 1: those situations where they can try and use their speed
Speaker 1: to really create problems in that matchup. Speaking of that
Speaker 1: pass rush, last week, we saw Terren Steele was a
Speaker 1: starting right tackle for the Cowboys, got his first start,
Speaker 1: mixed reviews, I would assume at best with regards to
Speaker 1: how he played. But that being said, what did you
Speaker 1: see from him? And how concerned would you be if
Speaker 1: you were the Cowboys going into this week with him
Speaker 1: being again their right tackle up against these pass rushings.
Speaker 1: I mean, let's be honest. Up front, they got whooped
Speaker 1: a bunch of different people. Aaron Donald had his way
Speaker 1: with the interior three. Terry Steele did a pretty solid
Speaker 1: job until you got into the fourth quarter. The issue
Speaker 1: that you're always going to have with an undrafted free
Speaker 1: agent is trying to get acclimated to the speed of
Speaker 1: the pass rushes, and when the Cowboys win long yarded
Speaker 1: situations third and seven or more is going to be
Speaker 1: difficult and tough for him. The best thing that the
Speaker 1: Cowboys can do is they have to win first down.
Speaker 1: They have to win their early daw So Dak has
Speaker 1: to work with third and fours, third and five where
Speaker 1: it's a mix down where you can run or pass.
Speaker 1: But if you get these obvious passing nows, it doesn't
Speaker 1: matter who is playing tackle. These athletes that Atlanta has,
Speaker 1: they can give anybody problems in these one on one
Speaker 1: situations when they know they only have to worry about
Speaker 1: a quarterback to wing the ball. Now, there's a lot
Speaker 1: of talk about the Cowboys wide receiver. Obviously, that trio
Speaker 1: that we keep expecting big things from last week didn't
Speaker 1: necessarily go as everyone expected, and even Michael Gallup talked
Speaker 1: recently to the media and he said he's not really
Speaker 1: concerned about it after looking at the tape. He expect
Speaker 1: them to be able to do what they're trying to do.
Speaker 1: When you look at matchups, specifically looking at the receivers,
Speaker 1: how does that what does that look like with the
Speaker 1: Falcons secondary, well, I mean it's favorable match up for
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Isaiah Oliver and aj Turell had up and
Speaker 1: down moments against the Seahawks. A week ago. They're young,
Speaker 1: they're inexperience, and so you would like to think that
Speaker 1: Michael Gallup and Mary Cooper would be able to have
Speaker 1: their way in one on one situations. This is a
Speaker 1: defense that is similar to some of the things that
Speaker 1: Chris Rashard wanted to do last year. A lot of
Speaker 1: one on one man coverage, single hot safety looks. So
Speaker 1: they're going to be opportunities. The key will be can
Speaker 1: they win against press coverage and more importantly, can they
Speaker 1: win quick enough so Dak Prescott can get the ball
Speaker 1: to them before the pass fresk gets home and knocks
Speaker 1: him around. Oh you said something. You said something about
Speaker 1: the Cowboys trying to get Zeke, you know, get him
Speaker 1: going and maybe keep the Falcons off the field. Do
Speaker 1: you think that that actually goes against what the Cowboys
Speaker 1: are trying to do with building the offense with those
Speaker 1: three receivers. I mean, sometimes you try to play someone
Speaker 1: else's game, it doesn't always work. Do you think that
Speaker 1: there's a way they can mix that where because maybe
Speaker 1: the Cowboys need to be the team the Falcons want
Speaker 1: to keep off the field, you know, does that limit
Speaker 1: them with the receivers they have to play that kind
Speaker 1: of style. Well, yeah, because you saw that strategy, Employee
Speaker 1: that we could go by the Rams. The Rams made
Speaker 1: a concerted effort to keep the ball. I want to
Speaker 1: say the time the possession was over thirty five minutes.
Speaker 1: The best way to slow down the Cowboys is to
Speaker 1: not let the Cowboys offense get onto the field. So
Speaker 1: you could see that the rub with both of these teams.
Speaker 1: The Atlanta Falcons aren't great on defense, and so they
Speaker 1: have to figure out how to protect their defense. So
Speaker 1: do they play keep away with their offense. For the Cowboys,
Speaker 1: maybe it is come out and be very aggressive in
Speaker 1: the first quarter, throw the ball all over the yard,
Speaker 1: and then in the second quarters and later in the game,
Speaker 1: get the ball to Zeke Elliott. You have to be
Speaker 1: committed because if you're going to play that style, it
Speaker 1: puts the pressure on Dak and the wide receivers. They
Speaker 1: got to win their matchups early because what you don't
Speaker 1: want to happen is you can't have a series of
Speaker 1: three and outs early where you give the Atlanta Falcons
Speaker 1: back to back possessions where they can attack the Cowboys defense.
Speaker 1: Before we let you go, but I have one more
Speaker 1: question for you. Talking about those wide receivers at Amber
Speaker 1: mentioned for the Cowboys and how they match up against
Speaker 1: Atlanta's secondary. I want to go back to the Seattle
Speaker 1: game against Atlanta. What kinds of pass routes did you
Speaker 1: see that those receivers had the most success running against
Speaker 1: that defensive secondary. You know, it's funny because people are
Speaker 1: gonna look at the numbers and then think that Russell
Speaker 1: Wilson threw the ball all over the yard outside early
Speaker 1: in the game, a lot of swing routes to the
Speaker 1: running backs. They stretched him from sidel on the sideline,
Speaker 1: did a really good job of getting the ball in
Speaker 1: the hands. And Chris Carson later in the game in
Speaker 1: the second half, that's when they attack down the field
Speaker 1: fourth and five, toy hit DK Metcalf on a go route.
Speaker 1: I think for the Cowboys, Zeke Elliott has to be
Speaker 1: involved early in the pass game. You gotta take the
Speaker 1: check down. You have to be patient enough to force
Speaker 1: the dbs to come up. Then you take your shots.
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott has to push you down the field, but
Speaker 1: he has to be selective. A week ago was different
Speaker 1: because the Rams took away the deep ball. I don't
Speaker 1: know if Atlanta is going to play it because that's
Speaker 1: typically not in their scheme repertoire to play a lot
Speaker 1: of two deep coverage. All right, Rocky, Bucky, we appreciate
Speaker 1: you joining us. We'll see you next week. I guess
Speaker 1: real quick, before we let you go, you want to
Speaker 1: give us a kind of what you think is gonna
Speaker 1: happen this week. A prediction for the game. Well, I mean,
Speaker 1: I think a lot of pressures on the Cowboys, and
Speaker 1: Cowboys have to win this. They can't fall behind two. Oh,
Speaker 1: so I think you'll see them play with a little
Speaker 1: more urgency and desperation. It's on the offense. The offense
