00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 5: It is Monday, November thirteenth, twenty twenty three, Season nineteen,

10
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 5: episode number sixty nine. Welcome to the latest edition of

11
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 5: The Break. We are live from the SWEC Mortgage studios

12
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 5: at the Star. Today we talk about Cowboys big victory

13
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 5: forty nine to seventeen over the listless Giants. That was

14
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 5: a game that I guess we all expected that and

15
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 5: you kind of were just hoping the Dallas wouldn't overlooked them.

16
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 4: They certainly did not.

17
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:04,960
Speaker 5: Came out and gave their very very best effort and

18
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 5: put them away fairly early, as we all expected they would.

19
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 5: Let's start first with storylines of the game. Is there

20
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 5: a storyline in this game other than total domination?

21
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 2: Show?

22
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 6: That's another show.

23
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:18,320
Speaker 2: That's next show.

24
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 3: Sorry, that means you got to start off now.

25
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 5: Feel kind of way about storyline, just record.

26
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:26,479
Speaker 3: Let's go.

27
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 6: Great win for sure, fun, definitely fun to watch. Is

28
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 6: one of those non stressful games that you're watching, but

29
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 6: at the same time as I gotta keep reminding myself

30
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,199
Speaker 6: it is the Giants, you know, one of those things

31
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 6: like Okay, yeah, great, but let's let's keep it real,

32
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 6: and it's just it's wonderful when you see the offense

33
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 6: work that way with all of their receivers. It's great

34
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 6: to see Dak playing the way that he's continuously playing

35
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 6: week after week. I think his game, regardless of the opponent,

36
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:09,359
Speaker 6: I think he's brought. He's doing really, really good and

37
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 6: there's no much hate you can give him in the

38
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,119
Speaker 6: last few weeks as far as the game that he's

39
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 6: been presenting and just seeing players like Michael Gallup keep

40
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 6: blowing out and playing the way that he is, Brandon

41
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 6: Cooks just now getting a custom and acclimated and being

42
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 6: now a true part of this offense, and as well

43
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 6: as Michael Gallup. Kind of again, one of those things

44
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 6: that you cannot dismiss Michael Gallup when he has bad

45
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 6: games and all that, then he comes back and has

46
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 6: one or two plays that you're like, Okay, Yeah, that's

47
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 6: Michael Gallup and that's why he's here. So all you know,

48
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 6: just great effort and everything that they did the offense,

49
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 6: but I would love to see that carry over in

50
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 6: games are against better teams.

51
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 7: I mean, there's it's a laundry list of headlines that

52
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 7: we can pull from this, and of course Cooks being

53
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 7: one of the biggest ones. But I'm going to go

54
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 7: right to the offensive line play. It was much improved yesterday.

55
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 7: And yes it is against the Giants. It was against

56
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 7: the Giants, but it's the same Giants front that had

57
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 7: before he left the game with concussion. Kevon Thibodeau, Dexter

58
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 7: Lawrence in the middle, and they only allowed five pressures

59
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 7: on Dak Prescott, no sacks. Terrence Steele had a strong

60
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 7: bounce back game. Was it perfect nor it was not.

61
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 7: You could talk about the first offensive possession on that

62
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 7: goal to go. He had one of two decisions to

63
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 7: make on that final fourth and goal. He could have

64
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 7: taken the rusher, the pass rusher, we could have taken

65
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 7: the linebacker, and he went to the linebacker and that's

66
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 7: why that run didn't get in. But outside of that,

67
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 7: he played very well. You talk about Michael Gallup. For example,

68
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 7: that forty plus yard touchdown passed on the right side

69
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 7: to Michael Gallup. That does not happen if Steele doesn't

70
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 7: drop his anchor and protect Dak pre Scott's front side.

71
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 7: So that gave Dak the confidence to stand in there

72
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 7: and make that throw. So for all of the rightful

73
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 7: criticism that we've given the offensive line over the past

74
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 7: several weeks, Terrence Steele as well, they had a very

75
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 7: strong bounce back game and Dak did the rest.

76
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 3: Brandon Cooks, Ceedee Lamb.

77
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,119
Speaker 7: They just went crazy and then the fund got spread

78
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 7: around from there with Jake Ferguson and Michael Gallup and

79
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 7: Jalen Brooks as well. I mean, the undrafted rookie gets

80
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 7: out there and he makes several catches for several plays.

81
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 7: So another offensive explosion for the Cowboys. Difference being that

82
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 7: this was not a game of inches. This was, like

83
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 7: you said, Derek domination from minute.

84
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 8: One smothered a rookie quarterback. You know that was they

85
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 8: didn't really give him any opportunity.

86
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 2: Even when you.

87
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 8: Start getting sacks on three step drops and you know,

88
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 8: plays like that, then you know you're doing a pretty

89
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 8: good job. Felt like on the outside, the one big

90
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 8: opportunity that the Giants had they ended the Cowboys were

91
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:58,119
Speaker 8: able to intercept the ball because Hyatt had gotten past

92
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 8: he'd gotten passed Gilmore and he was past Hooker and

93
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 8: it's just a great read. That's what you have with

94
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 8: Deron Bland on the other side of the field, is

95
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 8: you have a guy when his guy drives down inside

96
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 8: and it's and now it's he just turns and he

97
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 8: looks and he sees a guy streaking up the middle

98
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 8: of the field and he's able to adjust and get

99
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 8: over across from and make the play like he did.

100
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 8: That just shows you got a very aware player and

101
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 8: you got a defense that's locked in. They just did

102
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 8: not give them anything running the football. They really didn't

103
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 8: give them anything throwing the ball as well. They mixed

104
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 8: up the way their pressures, the way they played their front.

105
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 8: You know, Tank got the Micah Parsons sack where you

106
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 8: line up over the center and then you know, so

107
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 8: they were just moving guys around, trying some different looks

108
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 8: and it worked out really really well for them. But

109
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 8: you know, good job of not allowing them to get

110
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 8: any kind of momentum. Yesterday in that football game on offense.

111
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't think we can talk about this game

112
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 5: without really starting with Dak Prescott, the way that he

113
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 5: played yesterday and really the way played over the last

114
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 5: three weeks. He's had Now the past three games, he's

115
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 5: had three hundred and four yards, three hundred and seventy

116
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 5: four yards, four hundred and four yards yesterday, he's had

117
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 5: eleven passing touchdowns, two interceptions. Really has as and in

118
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 5: my opinion, in these three games, has put this offense

119
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 5: on his back because the running game has not really

120
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 5: been there in the way that you would expect it to.

121
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 5: And what we all expected was the running game and

122
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 5: the defense were going to be the strengths of this team.

123
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 5: Really over the last three weeks, what we've seen is

124
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 5: Dak Prescott and his arm are the reason why they

125
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 5: are playing such good football offensively. Where do you get

126
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:35,919
Speaker 5: how much credit do you give him for that? I know,

127
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 5: obviously this was a Giants, but when you look at

128
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 5: the last few games, credit are giving him for now

129
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 5: taking the team and putting it on his back.

130
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 8: Move the ball against Philadelphia? Yeah, you know, and again

131
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 8: they didn't have a running game in the Philadelphia game.

132
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 8: I think the Cowboy's doing a much better job of

133
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 8: There was a time during the Jason Garrett administration where

134
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 8: they wouldn't take advantage of bad teams, where they wouldn't

135
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 8: take advantage if you had a weakness in your secondary,

136
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 8: or you had a weakness on your offense of line,

137
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 8: or you had a weakness. It seemed like that the

138
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 8: Jason Garrett teams just would never like just say, Okay,

139
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 8: you're not good at this, and we're going to hammer

140
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 8: you on it.

141
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 2: And I think where Dak has done a really good

142
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 2: job is the fact, yeah, there was pressure.

143
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 8: In the Philadelphia game last week, but their secondary got

144
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 8: compromised in that game, and what do you do. He

145
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 8: kept throwing the ball, throwing the ball, throwing the ball,

146
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 8: and he was getting hit, but he was throwing the ball.

147
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 8: And I think that's where we're at right now, is

148
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 8: this Cowboys offense with McCarthy and Schottenheimer and the guys

149
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 8: they've they will they were were, They're going to route

150
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 8: combination of you.

151
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 2: Now they're going to throw the ball down the field.

152
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 8: If you're bad in certain spots, they're going to take

153
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 8: advantage of it. And I think that's the great thing

154
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 8: about it. Is That's, to me, is what football is

155
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 8: all about. If you're not good enough and you know

156
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 8: and you and you just keep running the same guys

157
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 8: out there every snap, then you deserve to get punished

158
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 8: for being for playing that way.

159
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 2: And that's what the Cowboys have been doing offensively.

160
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 7: I give a ton of credit to Deak obviously, and

161
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 7: I love what Mike McCarthy's doing play called wise, but

162
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 7: I don't think play calling was the issue for the

163
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 7: majority of while the offense was struggling to win.

164
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 3: It was struggling. It was execution, like we talked about.

165
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 7: But if you go back to the Chargers game and

166
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 7: Dak Prescott finally gone for dirty duck as I like

167
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 7: to call him, using his legs, extending the play, trying

168
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 7: to wield the offense to a victory like he did

169
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 7: in Los Angeles, then of course you saw what he

170
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 7: did with taking the next step with this offense with

171
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 7: the Rams goes to Philadelphia. Yeah, you lose that game

172
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 7: of innus, but moved the ball very well against the

173
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 7: Philadelphia Eagles. Now the question, and you brought it up

174
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 7: after the drubbing at the hands of the forty nine Ers,

175
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 7: was can Dak Prescott handle man coverage. Okay, Well, now

176
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 7: we are in yet another week in which he has

177
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 7: surgically dissected man coverage. He had four hundred and four

178
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 7: total yards against the against the Giants, two hundred of

179
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,079
Speaker 7: those yards and three of his four passing touchdowns against

180
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 7: man coverage. So now that Dak Prescott and his playmakers

181
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 7: they're getting the separation, they're making the plays, you're not

182
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 7: seeing many drops here or there. That's going to make

183
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 7: this offense that much more dangerous. Because they were already

184
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 7: lethal against zone coverage. But if they're equally as lethal

185
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 7: against man coverage, I mean, that's really a good look

186
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:09,959
Speaker 7: to opposing defense is going forward.

187
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 2: Well, I I'll disagree with you.

188
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 8: Is that Dak Prescott the first five weeks of the season,

189
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 8: they had the lowest air yards of any them in

190
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 8: the Colts with the two lowest air yard teams in

191
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 8: the league. I mean him and Richardson the quarterback from

192
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 8: something's changed, whether ceedee Lamb's go. Maybe after the San

193
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,599
Speaker 8: Francisco game, I know they didn't have the opportunity to practice,

194
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 8: but somebody made an effort to say we need to

195
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 8: play differently, we need to play differently.

196
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 2: Offense because we don't.

197
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 8: See you occasionally see like yesterday, maybe one or two slants.

198
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 2: The first four or five weeks, it.

199
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 8: Was slamp flat, slat flat, slat flat all day. The

200
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 8: ball wasn't going down the field. And now you see routes.

201
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 8: Whether yesterday was the first time that we saw with

202
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 8: Cooks just run a straight vertical route, no safety help

203
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 8: in the middle of the field, and all of a sudden.

204
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 2: It's like boom, just take off.

205
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,679
Speaker 8: Dak lays it out there to pass the gallop down

206
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 8: the field. I mean, the first four or five weeks

207
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 8: of the season, this offense, somebody made a decision not

208
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 8: to open thing, to open things up.

209
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:11,680
Speaker 2: For Dak pressway.

210
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 5: Wait.

211
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 7: Wait, so it's always saying that the Cowboys are attacking

212
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 7: deep middle down the field.

213
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 2: No, I'm saying they're just attacking down the field.

214
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 7: Though they are. Though that's my point. You're you're correct,

215
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 7: but they're also but they're not.

216
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 8: But but but you were, you were saying that to

217
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 8: me offensively. There was something not right, whether it's play

218
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 8: calling or scheme the first several weeks.

219
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,319
Speaker 7: But I agree with that because if you go back

220
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 7: several episodes when we were talking about one of the

221
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 7: Science Lab episodes was when I said the Cowboys need

222
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 7: to attack deep middle and stop forcing teams to just

223
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 7: allowing teams to attack only.

224
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 8: I was just commenting about the fact that you said,

225
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 8: it's not it wasn't a play calling issue. That's what

226
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 8: I'm like to me, it was a play calling issue

227
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 8: when when they got to when they got to after

228
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 8: the San Francisco game, they decided that we've got to

229
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 8: we've got to play more open here.

230
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 7: But in the Chargers game, the Rams game will not

231
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 7: necessarily Eaguals game because we saw a couple of deep middles,

232
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 7: but in the Chargers in the Rams game, they still

233
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 7: were not attacking deep middle.

234
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,319
Speaker 8: We're seeing that now versus the ball. The ball there

235
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 8: was more passes going down the field. The last four

236
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 8: or five weeks, we've seen more passes down the field.

237
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 8: I'd say the first four games of the season we

238
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 8: didn't see that.

239
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 5: Right If you remember, going back to the early part

240
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 5: of the season, we actually did those breakdowns using the

241
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 5: next gen stats, and we were showing they were basically

242
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 5: it was all underneath stuff. It was all in it.

243
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 5: But and I agree with both of you to some

244
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 5: degree because Brian. I think the way I look at

245
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:31,959
Speaker 5: it is I think what happened was I think these

246
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 5: things are always in the offense. I think that at

247
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,679
Speaker 5: some point they said, you know, we're not doing our quarterback.

248
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 5: I think I think when they went into the season,

249
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 5: they said, we're going to ease into this new offense

250
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 5: and we're going to give Dak time to kind of

251
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 5: get acclimated to it. I think at some point they said,

252
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 5: screw that, let's just go, like, let's just go, let's

253
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 5: just open it up and let's see what happens. And

254
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 5: I think when they opened it up, they realized, yeah, okay,

255
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 5: we got this. Like the quarterback knows what he's doing,

256
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 5: he can make these throws, the receivers can get open,

257
00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 5: you can make things happen, especially if you're going to

258
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 5: utilize the skills of a CD Lamb and not just

259
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 5: kind of whenever go to the open man, like you're

260
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 5: literally going to get the ball to him and make

261
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 5: an effort to get the ball to him, even in

262
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 5: situations where he may look like he's covered, like in

263
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 5: the instance yesterday he makes the one hand catch, he's

264
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 5: clearly covered on that play. You throw the ball where

265
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 5: he can make a play, he makes a play. I

266
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 5: think that's what's happened as a season going on, is

267
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 5: that more people, all of them, have gotten comfortable with

268
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 5: this offense to the point where the coaches are also comfortable.

269
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 5: And Mike even talked about it after the game yesterday.

270
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 5: He was like, we have gotten better as coaches as

271
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,439
Speaker 5: the season is going on of knowing what we should

272
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 5: be calling, when we should be calling, and trusting these

273
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:37,079
Speaker 5: guys and make it.

274
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 2: See. But that's what I'm saying.

275
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 8: I think it was after the San Francisco game where

276
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,319
Speaker 8: they sat down and they said, we've got to do

277
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 8: something differently here. You know, we can't sit here and

278
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 8: just expect to keep throwing the ball underneath, you know.

279
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,680
Speaker 8: And they have a quarterback that and he's shown that

280
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,959
Speaker 8: the last four weeks that he's capable if you open

281
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 8: things up for him and you're not and you're not

282
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 8: worried about interceptions and you're not worried about you know,

283
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 8: he's he's going to be accurate and make throws. I

284
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 8: mean he's punishing You're right, I mean he punishes people zone.

285
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 9: Man.

286
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 8: It hasn't mattered. But his eyes are down the field

287
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 8: and the balls down the field more.

288
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 7: That's that's where I think we have a small divide,

289
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 7: a divide none the less, but a small divide. The

290
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 7: reason I say it's not as much play calling in

291
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 7: which is why I said a lot of credit to

292
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 7: Dak Prescott, because if you go back and you look

293
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 7: at San Francisco and pre San Francisco, those routes were

294
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 7: down the field, they were opened down the middle, they

295
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 7: were opened deep. You saw Jake Ferguson deep down the middle.

296
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 7: Open ball wouldn't go to him, ceedee lamb down the middle,

297
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 7: deep ball wouldn't go to him. The question was would

298
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 7: Dak become comfortable with pulling that trigger again? And now

299
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 7: he's become comfortable with pulling that trigger.

300
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 2: There's a reason for a veteran quarterback not to be

301
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 2: not to pull the trigger.

302
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 8: I mean, I agree with that the guy was out

303
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 8: yesterday for the Giants didn't pull the trigger on three

304
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 8: strap drop.

305
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:51,839
Speaker 7: I agree, there is no there was no reason for

306
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 7: him to not pull the trigger outside of PTSD from

307
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 7: most of his interceptions coming deep middle or.

308
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 8: Mike McCarthy and the coach is saying, don't we're gonna

309
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,079
Speaker 8: underneath and could.

310
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 5: It also be a partially that as Dak was getting

311
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 5: acclimated to this offense, maybe he wasn't making it that

312
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 5: far into the Maybe he was. He was getting to that,

313
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:11,319
Speaker 5: he was getting to the quick and easy throw, and

314
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 5: he was making the quick and easy throw.

315
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 2: I don't know.

316
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 7: There was so much thought about also go to the

317
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 7: offensive line flux at that time.

318
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 2: There was so much thought about getting the ball out

319
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 2: of his hand. Yeah, there was. I mean it was

320
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 2: it was a nauseum they talked about that, you know.

321
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 8: And so to me, this this offense now is better,

322
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 8: whether it's stuff that they went back and they're trying

323
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 8: to you actually do see combinations of routes that get

324
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 8: guys open.

325
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 2: You know, you see.

326
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 8: Dak Prescott they run too, They run two slants as

327
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 8: a pick and he throws the ball to the right guy.

328
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 8: You know, you're starting to see things that I didn't

329
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 8: see in the first three or four weeks of the season,

330
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 8: the way that they're operating right now.

331
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 5: And frankly, they still have a lot of quick passes

332
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 5: in this offense, Like this is still a rhythm offense.

333
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 5: It's just that now, as you said, Brian, he knows

334
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 5: when those opportunities are there, and he's looking down Phil

335
00:14:58,040 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 5: and he's finding those when he knows that they're they

336
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 5: and he's making that play yesterday to Ceede Lamb down

337
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 5: the field where basically he had him running around, but

338
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 5: CEEDI was kind of slowing down and waiting and he

339
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 5: said go and Ceede immediately took off and he hits

340
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 5: him downfield. Like those are the kind of things where

341
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 5: I think that was all a dock engineered moment where

342
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 5: he's like, Hey, that safety's already taken by that by by.

343
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 4: Cooks who's coming across the field.

344
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 5: You got opportunity downfield, go and I'm just gonna loft

345
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 5: it up and you go get it.

346
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 7: And another example of that would be in one of

347
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 7: the handful of times where he was actually pressured and

348
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 7: then hitting. I posted the clip on Twitter last night

349
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 7: that big Gainer took Cooks over the middle that ends

350
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 7: up on you know, over on the sideline. Deak stands

351
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 7: in there, sees Dexter Lawrence coming and he just grown

352
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 7: man throw. He puts that on a dot and it's

353
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 7: a huge play. Now does he make that play earlier

354
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 7: in the season first three or four weeks, probably not,

355
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 7: which goes to what I was saying, I felt like

356
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 7: he needed to be more comfortable and just trusting the

357
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 7: playmaker would make the play. Standing there, make the throw

358
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 7: because thankfully, yesterday the offensive line gave him protection quite

359
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 7: a bit actually, and then the times they didn't, he

360
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 7: still trusted that his playmaker would.

361
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 3: Make the play. Hell that was that particular play. Ceedee Lamb.

362
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 7: Deck steps in the pocket, pocket breaks down, He's like,

363
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 7: the hell with this. He runs out right and he's like,

364
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 7: I'm just gonna throw to that open spot. Ceedee Lamb

365
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 7: turns around, comes back and gets the ball. It's a

366
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 7: big play. That's the kind of game that Dak Prescott

367
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 7: in this offense can have when the trust is there

368
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 7: and when Deck is willing to pull the trigger.

369
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 8: Yeah, he was trying to throw that ball away. M

370
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 8: Lamb just was able to get away from Holmes. That

371
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 8: was a good play on his partner.

372
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 6: What it took was CD getting pissed and getting mad

373
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 6: on the sideline that one game, and after that they

374
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 6: came back and since then they've been better offensively. And

375
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 6: I don't know what kind of what happened there, but

376
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 6: they make it work. They made it work, and everyone

377
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 6: listening to this podcast. They know the full trajectory of

378
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 6: Dak Prescott since the moment he got here. They know

379
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 6: how much help he had from the O line seek

380
00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 6: everybody else. We also have seen the transition of players

381
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 6: being gone and you getting new talent. You've seen the

382
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 6: transition of changes in coaching staff. Also now the change

383
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:16,640
Speaker 6: in the scheme and everything. You've moved every single part possible,

384
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 6: but your quarterback. So this is the moment where Okay,

385
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 6: now it's all fully on Dak, and I think now

386
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:28,159
Speaker 6: he's fully shown what it looks like without even a

387
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 6: running running game. He's not getting help from the run game.

388
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 6: So he's taking on that. And that's what it's been

389
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 6: impressive for me to see and what I've been hoping

390
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 6: and wanting to see from him. And where finally we've

391
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 6: gone like three weeks one is now consistent. It's becoming

392
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:51,919
Speaker 6: something consistent, him being able to just feel comfortable. You

393
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 6: don't see him going back to last year or hesitating,

394
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 6: second guessing, being cautious because of that previous injury. He's

395
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:03,639
Speaker 6: come boy again. He's using his legs, escaping and running

396
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:07,879
Speaker 6: whenever he can or sees needed and possible, and just

397
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 6: feeling more comfortable with his receivers, just being everybody on

398
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 6: the same page. So I think he's currently doing everything

399
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 6: that everyone has been asking for him to do. Ask

400
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 6: a quarterback, all.

401
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 5: Right, we're gonna take our first break. We'll come back.

402
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 5: We'll keep talking about this game. We're gonna talk about

403
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 5: the receivers and the running game. What's going on with

404
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 5: the running game. They had a good overall total production

405
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 5: day from the standpoint of the numbers, but there still

406
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 5: are some things that make you question. We're going to

407
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 5: talk about that when we come back. Dallas Cowboys dot

408

Speaker 5: comor and you.

409
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 10: Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the

410
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 10: cheetah Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat repellent he bought

411
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 10: online was reliable. And now Todd is trying to be

412
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 10: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.

413
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 10: But the good news is Todd has AT and T

414
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 10: five G. It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he

415
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 10: learned the best thing to do is stop running and

416
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 10: toss her the backpack with the beef stew At and

417
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,880

Speaker 8: that effort, to be honest with.

470
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:25,120
Speaker 5: You, and that's why this segment block that effort. I think,

471
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,400
Speaker 5: my god, Brian, well, I'm glad I got you here.

472
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 2: With all right, let's let's pay bills.

473
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's continue talking about this offense they do. Let's

474
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 4: talk about the receivers.

475
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 5: Yesterday we had two huge performances and I'll ask you

476
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 5: guys this question. Check out these numbers so you had.

477
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 5: On the one hand, Brandon Cooks goes nine catches for

478
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 5: one hundred and seventy three yards on touchdown.

479
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:50,199
Speaker 4: By far his best production of the season.

480
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 5: Ceedee Lamb goes eleven catches one hundred and fifty one

481
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 5: yards a touchdown. He also has a rush for fourteen

482
00:21:56,359 --> 00:22:00,080
Speaker 5: yard touchdown as well. He is the first player in

483
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 5: NFL history history to have three back to back to

484
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 5: back games for one hundred and fifty yards and ten

485
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 5: plus catches, which was more impressive.

486
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 6: To you this price keep growing up.

487
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 5: It's right, I think the one that was like, it's

488
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 5: like the price and right.

489
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 2: Doing right on up right on the class.

490
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 7: Today's press sint yesterday's press. Now it's always going to

491
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 7: be obviously, what Cooks did impressive. Needless to say, uh

492
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,880
Speaker 7: he fell only fourteen yard shot, breaking his single season

493
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 7: career high as far as most receiving yards in the game.

494
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 7: But we're talking about NFL history and NFL history being

495
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 7: made is always going to be the more impressive of

496
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 7: compared against anything. So seeing the the heater that Ceedee

497
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 7: Lamb is on, and I like what Dak Prescott said

498
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 7: yesterday in the press conference. He said he's not going

499
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,439
Speaker 7: to describe what Ceede Lamb is doing as being on

500
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:00,919
Speaker 7: a heater. He feels this is this is what Ceedee

501
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 7: Lamb looks like.

502
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 3: And I like that. I like it a lot.

503
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,679
Speaker 7: So So when it comes to that, I mean, something

504
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 7: clicked after the San Francisco game, and Ceede Lamb has

505
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 7: been playing out of his mind through these past several games.

506
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 7: He yeah, he had. He has been the best receiver

507
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:22,639
Speaker 7: in the NFL in the best several games so especially

508
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 7: when you look at how story the NFL is, when

509
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 7: you look at how storied the Cowboys are as a

510
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 7: franchise as far as wide receivers that have come through

511
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 7: here to see him achieve that, and we still have

512
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 7: several more games to go in this regular season for

513
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:37,919
Speaker 7: him to do it again, and he's about to go

514
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 7: against a Panthers team, who if the Cowboys don't play

515
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 7: down a competition, he might have another shot at it.

516
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 7: So yeah, Ceede Lamb, he made in the field history.

517
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:46,639
Speaker 7: That's going to take the crown for me.

518
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 8: Yeah, then you're gonna need other guys to step up

519
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 8: to because not everybody is going to be the New

520
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 8: York Giants out there playing in the secondary. I mean,

521
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 8: teams are going to try and figure out And Ceedy

522
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 8: even said it after the game that he's facing his

523
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:58,639
Speaker 8: share of double teams, and he's right about that.

524
00:23:58,680 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 2: He's doing a great job.

525
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 8: I think the most impressive thing about these wide receivers

526
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 8: is how well they compliment each other and help each

527
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 8: other when it comes to route running, and and you're

528
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 8: seeing that a lot better. You know, we mentioned the

529
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 8: crossing route that he had when he had a twenty

530
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 8: five yard game.

531
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 2: And when you watch the play, it's really two clear

532
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 2: out routes.

533
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 8: Gallop and Lamb get up the field, and then McLeod

534
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,919
Speaker 8: is playing man coverage and he can't stay with he

535
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 8: can't stay with Cooks because you got the clearouts which

536
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 8: clears the area. Now you've got to a cross or

537
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 8: coming all the way and the Dak. We all know

538
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 8: when Dak runs to his left or moves to his

539
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,120
Speaker 8: left and he could square his shoulders, he could throw a.

540
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:35,879
Speaker 2: Really good ball.

541
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,359
Speaker 8: And so you know, that's the thing that I've really

542
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 8: am impressed by that. It's just like, you know, you

543
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:46,400
Speaker 8: got others as like Lamb is having this incredible run here,

544
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 8: but what he's doing, he's running a clear out. Gallop

545
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 8: running a clear out, you know, taking their guys, not

546
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 8: being lazy, getting.

547
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 2: Up the field, doing what you're supposed to do.

548
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,199
Speaker 8: Patrick talked about a little bit of offense with some

549
00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 8: execution and stuff like that.

550
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 2: That's what you got to have.

551
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 8: You know, if you're going to be successful with these

552
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 8: huge chunk plays, it's usually somebody else doing some dirty

553
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,719
Speaker 8: work to get the other the ball. And that's what

554
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 8: the Cowboys did yesterday with their receivers.

555
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:13,639
Speaker 4: You know real quick and before you before you throw

556
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 4: that in.

557
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 5: I also want to say it was a similar thing

558
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,880
Speaker 5: on that playoff talking lout earlier where Lamb goes downfield

559
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:20,879
Speaker 5: and Dak tells him keep going. I mean it was

560
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 5: Cooks that came across on the crossing the route. He

561
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 5: occupies that safety, so the safety can't go deep with CD.

562
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 4: He's got to take a choice.

563
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:29,159
Speaker 5: And it was one of the things we talked about

564
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 5: after the San Francisco game where I was like, they

565
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 5: weren't doing enough in my opinion in the offensive scheme

566
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 5: of forcing defenders to have to make a decision, force

567
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 5: a safety into situation where he said, I got to

568
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 5: take one of these two guys, and somebody's going to

569
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,680
Speaker 5: be open. Somebody's going to have an opportunity. And I thought,

570
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 5: that's what we saw yesterday. We saw a number of

571
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 5: times where safeties were having to make a choice, and

572
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 5: whatever choice they made, cowboys took advantage of the other.

573
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:56,719
Speaker 6: I'm glad Jerry got to convince him to wear number

574
00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:01,160
Speaker 6: eighty eight jersey because he I mean, he fits right

575
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 6: in he he's been he just looks so natural and

576
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:08,199
Speaker 6: comfortable and a lot of times I'm watching and there

577
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 6: are many many plays that I don't think he's gonna

578
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:12,880
Speaker 6: catch it, not because I don't I think anything less

579
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:16,159
Speaker 6: of him, but because you know, you just think, oh no,

580
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 6: he had his double team like you mentioned, and then

581
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 6: he catches it, and my damn.

582
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 3: The catch was ridiculous.

583
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:24,160
Speaker 2: It was amazing.

584
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 5: It was amazing, right, yeah, m That's why I only

585
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 5: had one.

586
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 8: Obviously, the catch he made and I think you guys

587
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 8: remember this one. He he pivots inside and then he

588
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 8: goes horizontal, and usually they try and scoop that ball

589
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 8: he caught or he put his hands and went over

590
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 8: the top of it, and that just shows you right

591
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 8: there how locked in he is that he could lay

592
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:51,640
Speaker 8: horizontally and the ball and be going away.

593
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,920
Speaker 2: And turn around and catch the long hand. Yeah, I mean,

594
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 2: I mean, the one.

595
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 8: Handed catch was great, but it was almost like he

596
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 8: was a soccer goal trying to stop all but the

597
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 8: way he was able to put. The only chance he

598
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,440
Speaker 8: had was to turn his hands over, and he did,

599
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,360
Speaker 8: I mean that quickly. He made the adjustment and caught

600
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 8: the football. Is one of the best catches I've seen

601
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:13,199
Speaker 8: in a long time by receiver having to adjust and

602
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 8: go back and try and get a football.

603
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 7: And Brian, you talking about a guy being in the zone,

604
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 7: Dak Prescott when he tried to throw the ball out

605
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:20,439
Speaker 7: of the back of the end zone.

606
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 3: Here's Ceedee Lamb.

607
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 2: I don't know where he came from.

608
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 7: Here, Ceedee Lamb coming out of nowhere, nearly making another

609
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 7: spectacular one hand to grab with the defender draped all

610
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,439
Speaker 7: over him. So it's Ceedee Lamb is in one of

611
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:34,440
Speaker 7: those zones wherein if the ball is anywhere near him,

612
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 7: you just have to assume. Now he's going to figure

613
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 7: out a way to get that ball.

614
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:39,360
Speaker 4: This is Oklahoma Ceedee Lamb.

615
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 3: They said.

616
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,719
Speaker 5: I was like, man, this dude is what he was

617
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 5: in college. He's going to be remarkable and he's reaching

618
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 5: that plateau. Now he's one of those guys he get

619
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 5: the ball in his hands. You find a way to

620
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 5: get the ball in his hands, because he makes things

621
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 5: happen when he gets the ball in his hands. All right,

622
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,440
Speaker 5: let's talk about the running game. This is an area

623
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 5: where the Cowboys. You know what, Actually, we're going to

624
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 5: take a little break because I know this conversation is

625
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:02,560

00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 10: Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the

631
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 10: cheetah Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat repellent he bought

632
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 10: online was reliable. And now Todd is trying to be

633
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 10: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.

634
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 10: But the good news is Todd has AT and T

Speaker 10: five G. It is fast, reliable and secure, and he

636
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 10: learned the best thing to do is stop running and

637
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,040

699
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 2: all right, here we go.

700
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 5: Let's talk about the running game yesterday got ric O'Donnell

701
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 5: twelve carries for seventy nine yards a six point six

702
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 5: average and a touchdown. Tony Pollard fifteen carries fifty five

703
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 5: yards a three point seven average. I guess my first

704
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 5: question is is there something that you've discerned from what

705
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 5: you've seen, whether you're watching the game live or watching

706
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 5: it back on tape, that gives you an indication why

707
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 5: Dwell is so much more successful in this game, particularly

708
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 5: running the ball, than then Tony.

709
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 6: Pollard was just go ahead, just go ahead. No, No,

710
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 6: you've been analyzing this play that you want to talk

711
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 6: about on the show.

712
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 5: The host lobs it up and then lets everybody else

713
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 5: take a chance.

714
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 8: So this is like the old show Perry Mason, there

715
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 8: was a lawyer Perry Mason never asked a question he

716
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 8: didn't know the answer to.

717
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, Derek knows the answer to this question.

718
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 5: Honestly, a good host should never should never not know

719
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 5: the answer to the question.

720
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 2: He can come back.

721
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 8: What do you think the differences between Pollard and uh

722
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 8: and Dwell right now?

723
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 2: Running the ball?

724
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 5: Okay, I'm gonna give you my opinion, since you asked.

725
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 5: I saw several plays in the game where I thought

726
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 5: I thought there were there were situations where he had opportunities,

727
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:50,480
Speaker 5: there were holes there. I don't think he saw them.

728
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 5: I don't know that he saw them in time. I

729
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 5: do think it doesn't mean that the blocking was perfect,

730
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 5: because I don't think the blocking was necessarily perfect on

731
00:32:58,040 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 5: all of these, but I do think there were opportunities

732
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 5: there on the on the table. And what I'm seeing

733
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 5: that's different, in my opinion is I think donnad is

734
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 5: seeing the feeld really well, and when he sees that crease,

735
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 5: he's through it and there is no second guessing, there

736
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 5: is no I think there are two plays in particular

737
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 5: that pointed that out for me. For Pollard, there was

738
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 5: one play near the end of the first quarter where

739
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 5: I think he was kind of going to his right

740
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 5: pressing yeah, and there was a hole to his left,

741
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 5: but he saw it a little too late and and

742
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 5: he actually eventually tried to get back to the hole.

743
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 5: He ended up getting three yards, but I think if

744
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 5: he'd done that a step or two earlier, he has

745
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 5: a lot of green grass. I mean, everything was blocked

746
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 5: up on that play pretty well. I think he would

747
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 5: have had a big play. And also on the play,

748
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 5: Patrick and I were talking about it in the break

749
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 5: on the play there on the goal line that you

750
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 5: mentioned where you thought that maybe Steele should have held

751
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 5: that block a little longer. I actually personally think that

752
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 5: that play was designed like that where still was to

753
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 5: get to the second level and the running back just

754
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 5: need to hit the hole. And is you if you

755
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 5: go and watch it, Yeah, he hesitated there. Pollard got

756
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 5: the ball, he got to the hole and he kind

757
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 5: of took a step and just pause for a second

758
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 5: and then went And I think if he wouldn't have paused,

759
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 5: if you would have just hit the hole, I don't

760
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 5: think that that defensive end would have had an opportunity

761
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:09,279
Speaker 5: to crash down hard enough to get to him, and

762
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:10,759
Speaker 5: he probably gets into the end zone.

763
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:14,719
Speaker 4: Was only a few. It was only a few.

764
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 5: But that's also the thing when you're talking about the

765
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:20,280
Speaker 5: difference between the backs. Right, you have a few plays

766
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,839
Speaker 5: in a game where everything gets blocked up perfectly right,

767
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:24,799
Speaker 5: you know, and if you don't take advantage of those,

768
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 5: then you're going to have a very pedestrian type day.

769
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 8: I think there's a lot of things on Tony Pollard's

770
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 8: plate right now. And I think it and I say

771
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:38,879
Speaker 8: it in a way of you know, he he understands

772
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,800
Speaker 8: that he was a franchise tag player, and he's maybe

773
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 8: he's pressing a little bit on some things.

774
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:48,359
Speaker 2: And is he patient enough for some of the.

775
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 8: You know, is he patient enough? Is he is he

776
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 8: pressing the hole too quick? And there's really stuff that

777
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:55,799
Speaker 8: it's opening up to the left or to the right,

778
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:58,840
Speaker 8: and he's just not He's just so anxious about I

779
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:00,439
Speaker 8: got to get up, I got to get through.

780
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:02,239
Speaker 2: I gotta you know, and backs do that.

781
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 8: They get to the point where and the blocking hasn't

782
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 8: been great a lot of these snaps. I mean, he

783
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 8: he you know, heavy box. You know, they don't block

784
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 8: the eighth guy who makes the tackle.

785
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:13,920
Speaker 2: The eighth guy.

786
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 8: You know, there was a time where Tony Pollard would

787
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 8: make the first guy miss and then he would be

788
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:21,760
Speaker 8: into this, you know, it was, you know, Zekiel Elliot

789
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:24,880
Speaker 8: averaging like four yards of carry last year, Tony Pollard

790
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:28,360
Speaker 8: averaging five point five. And he's like, everybody's like, damn,

791
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 8: can't you see it. One guy's quicker, one guy's making

792
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:33,880
Speaker 8: it happen. One you know, every that was the that

793
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 8: And now here we are and now we're looking at

794
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 8: Dowdell and the example of the example of like the

795
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 8: flip play that went for twenty one yards.

796
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:43,919
Speaker 4: I was just looking at that place and you're kind.

797
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 8: Of sitting there thinking maybe Tyron Smith might have messed up,

798
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 8: because what happened. Everybody's stepping to their left, but Tyron

799
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:53,400
Speaker 8: Smith and you're going, whoa did they just get away

800
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 8: with one with with with Ojilari coming up the field,

801
00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:00,479
Speaker 8: and then you got Dowbell makes him miss, And now

802
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 8: you've got a twenty one yard game because you've got

803
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:05,919
Speaker 8: beaddish up, you've got steel up, you got all these

804
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:07,359
Speaker 8: guys running interference.

805
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 2: But Tyron Smith kind of you don't know if he

806
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 2: did he go the wrong way? Did he did he

807
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:14,799
Speaker 2: was he supposed to get that guy, but but.

808
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 5: Hewn to the second level and made the block on

809
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 5: the second level.

810
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:18,799
Speaker 4: But he he sho probably gone.

811
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, you could tell he in the huddle.

812
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 8: It's like it's like Beaddish hits him like oh, kind

813
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 8: of like oh, hey, you're supposed to be you know,

814
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 8: they run into each other and it kind of works out.

815
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 2: But that's been the difference.

816
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:32,759
Speaker 8: Like with Rico, it's kind of like he's been able

817
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:35,879
Speaker 8: to make guys miss and then when he gets hit,

818
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 8: he's kind of spinning for extra yards and stuff like that.

819
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:40,280
Speaker 2: So it looks different.

820
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 8: But man, there's times where Pollard he does need to

821
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 8: see it better, but there's also times where it is

822
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:49,359
Speaker 8: blocked by nobody. Yeah, and he's and he's and he's

823
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 8: suffered because of that.

824
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:53,239
Speaker 7: For me, it's it goes back to what we keep

825
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 7: talking about. I mean, as this season rolls along, I mean,

826
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:59,959
Speaker 7: the RB one Throne comes with a lot of heavy lift,

827
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 7: a lot of dirty work, and it just it beats

828
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 7: up on a guy. And so you're likely not going

829
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 7: to see the twenty twenty two or twenty twenty one

830
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:08,759
Speaker 7: version of POVT in twenty three. I think that's just

831
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,360
Speaker 7: not going to happen. But what's promising for POVT is

832
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:13,320
Speaker 7: when you look at the first half, he kind of

833
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:15,399
Speaker 7: struggled to get you know, the one yard here, two

834
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:17,760
Speaker 7: yard here, but then he had a twelve yard carry

835
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 7: and the third quarter had a fourteen yard care so

836
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 7: I saw flashes of that explosiveness again. So it's in

837
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 7: there difference being Rico. He comes in, he's fresh legs,

838
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 7: and he's playing loose. He's playing loose football. So it

839
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 7: kind of goes to what Brian is talking about. There's

840
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:33,360
Speaker 7: a mentality of it as well. Where Tony is the

841
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:35,880
Speaker 7: franchise he's on a franchise tag. He's trying to do

842
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 7: his best to play for a multi year contract, and

843
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:41,840
Speaker 7: maybe he's pressing a bit and maybe he's overthinking it.

844
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:45,279
Speaker 7: Not so coincidentally, though Rico is on a contract, you're

845
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,319
Speaker 7: also quite as it's skept I mean, he's only on

846
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 7: a one year reup right, so he's playing to stay

847
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 7: as well.

848
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:51,799
Speaker 3: But it's not the same.

849
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 7: There are levels to this, right when you're the franchise

850
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 7: tag and you're going for franchise money. Rico is just

851
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 7: trying to stick around me. He's like, you know, I'm

852
00:37:57,560 --> 00:37:59,840
Speaker 7: just going to play football. I've been waiting for this opportunity.

853
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:03,319
Speaker 7: It's his first opportunity, right, so he's fresher when he

854
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:07,319
Speaker 7: comes into games. He's playing more loosely mentally, and his

855
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:10,239
Speaker 7: vision has just been slightly better than Tony Pollard. Like

856
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:12,880
Speaker 7: we're talking about, there's situations where you would like to

857
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 7: see Tony Pollard feel this and hit that. Well, Rico

858
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,840
Speaker 7: comes in and theoretically in that same play he sees

859
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:20,879
Speaker 7: that and he hits that. So that's why he's able

860
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 7: to rattle off and average what six point six yards

861
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 7: per carry yesterday is. So, I mean, it's a great

862
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:30,680
Speaker 7: thing to see that the Cowboys rushing attack took a

863
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:33,840
Speaker 7: step forward yesterday. That gives you hope for what it

864
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:37,880
Speaker 7: could be going forward. But don't press it. Just continue

865
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:40,240
Speaker 7: to let it organically come, especially when you got guys

866
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 7: like Ceedee Lamb going crazy and now Brandon Cooks is.

867
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 3: Involved as well. I mean, let the passing attack be

868
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:45,760
Speaker 3: the passing attack.

869
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:48,440
Speaker 7: And then I think this is a perfect situation where

870
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:51,879
Speaker 7: in the Jason Garrett administration, as Brian likes to call out,

871
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 7: I love that he calls it that. In the Jason

872
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:56,799
Speaker 7: Garrett administration and the Scott Lennehan you know era, it

873
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,280
Speaker 7: was established a run to set up the pass.

874
00:38:59,480 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 3: Well.

875
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:03,319
Speaker 7: Now, uh, big mic is is out there establishing the

876
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:05,720
Speaker 7: past to set up the run and if that's what's working,

877
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:08,480
Speaker 7: and it clearly is by all means continuing.

878
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:12,759
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think not everyone is meant to handle x

879
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 6: amount of work, like an extra load of things, and

880
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 6: it takes away from from your focus and what your

881
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 6: best at. As an example, Uh and correct me if

882
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:24,920
Speaker 6: I'm wrong my.

883
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 3: Memory it was too easy.

884
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:29,440
Speaker 4: I was I wasn't going to get too easy yourself?

885
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 14: Correct how far back?

886
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 6: At some other points, but remember when when Mike was

887
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:43,400
Speaker 6: the one wearing the communication what is it called dot

888
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:47,960
Speaker 6: green dot, and you could see his game being affected

889
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:50,400
Speaker 6: by it, and then that changed and they took that

890
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 6: away from him. Uh So where I'm trying to get at.

891
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:57,719
Speaker 6: Sometimes when you add something else that you have to

892
00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 6: do mentally, it messes you up where you don't you're

893
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:03,839
Speaker 6: not as you don't have the same amount of concentration,

894
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 6: and now that takes away from from what you're you're

895
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:09,840
Speaker 6: good at it, and maybe that maybe I'm.

896
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:11,239
Speaker 2: Just there's a lot of pressure.

897
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:14,160
Speaker 8: There's a lot of there's a lot of pressure on

898
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 8: him because they got rid of Ezekiel Elliott.

899
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 2: They moved on from Ezekiel.

900
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:22,360
Speaker 8: Now you say you're the guy, and now he's feeling

901
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:23,320
Speaker 8: the pressure of.

902
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:26,360
Speaker 2: Everybody in the year to prove it and everybody in

903
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 2: the world talking about the lack of a Cowboys running game.

904
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 2: Could you feel that.

905
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:32,840
Speaker 5: Do you think that this should be especially watching what

906
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 5: happened yesterday, do you think this should They should make

907
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 5: it more of a I don't know if it has

908
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:39,719
Speaker 5: to be fifty to fifty split, but more give me

909
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 5: more Doubtle and maybe you'll get better out of out

910
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:45,919
Speaker 5: of Pollard if you're Because we talked about this last

911
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 5: year a lot from the standpoint of a two BAC

912
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:51,719
Speaker 5: system versus you know, just having one guy who's the

913
00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:54,239
Speaker 5: predominant guy. I wonder if it should be the same

914
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 5: thing this year, just with different names. Now it's Doubtle

915
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:59,080
Speaker 5: and Pollard as opposed to Zeke and Pollard last year.

916
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:00,839
Speaker 8: I think they need to work on the perimeter run

917
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 8: game more. I mean because to me, inside run seems

918
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:05,719
Speaker 8: to be the problems that they're having.

919
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:06,440
Speaker 2: Especially with Pollard.

920
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:09,919
Speaker 8: You saw yesterday the toss, the things that the things

921
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:11,760
Speaker 8: where they can get the ball to flip.

922
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 2: You know, if they could get.

923
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:16,319
Speaker 8: Doubt Old going downhill, he's a hard guy to deal with.

924
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 8: That's gonna be a four or five yard play. We'll

925
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 8: see with Pollard. But Pollard looks more comfortable to me

926
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:27,239
Speaker 8: trying to navigate the edge than he does navigate guys inside.

927
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:30,399
Speaker 8: So I would I would try and focus more on

928
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 8: and then all of a sudden you get good at

929
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:36,840
Speaker 8: the perimeter game. Then now defenses naturally will stretch, and

930
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:40,479
Speaker 8: when they stretch, then then your inside, your inside zone

931
00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:42,480
Speaker 8: stuff and things like that that you want to do

932
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 8: start to become a little bit better.

933
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:48,759
Speaker 7: I mean, I agree that if you theoretically, if you

934
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:52,279
Speaker 7: play Reco a bit more than obviously you're unless it's

935
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:55,240
Speaker 7: two back set, you're playing Tony a bit less.

936
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:56,959
Speaker 4: Which which it did a little bit yesterday, right, I.

937
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:58,719
Speaker 7: Was want to say, because the splits were almost even

938
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:01,279
Speaker 7: yesterday as far as the handoffs concern. But it also

939
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:06,040
Speaker 7: goes to what contextually, what type of plays are attached

940
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:09,400
Speaker 7: to those reps for each individual player. So, for example,

941
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 7: if you're Tony Pollard and the majority of your twelve

942
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 7: to fifteen touches are going to be the dirty runs

943
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 7: up the middle, that's going to wear on you much

944
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 7: more than if Rico's twelve to fifteen touches tend to

945
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:22,800
Speaker 7: be off of the edge and getting him into space,

946
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:24,680
Speaker 7: so that has to be looked at as well. I

947
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 7: think that's definitely a conversation to be had, but it's

948
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 7: it's more of a robust conversation than just simply saying, Okay,

949
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:31,640
Speaker 7: let's do a fifteen to fifteen split or twenty to

950
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 7: twenty split, twelve twelve, what types of plays? I would

951
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:37,120
Speaker 7: say mix those up as well, because Tony has shown

952
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:39,400
Speaker 7: over the course of his career that he can be

953
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:42,240
Speaker 7: explosive in space as well. So maybe it's saying, well, Rico,

954
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:44,960
Speaker 7: do more of these dirty work runs and you know,

955
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:46,920
Speaker 7: we'll share that load that way and kind of spread

956
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 7: the screen.

957
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:50,440
Speaker 8: Bobby and I were doing a podcast this one. I

958
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 8: think Bobby said this and I forgot to look it up.

959
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:55,360
Speaker 8: I'm trusting him. He said that Pollard was lined up

960
00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:58,240
Speaker 8: as a wide receiver twelve times yesterday, twelve.

961
00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:00,399
Speaker 4: Wow. I thought it was a few, only few times.

962
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:03,320
Speaker 8: But no, that's what Bobby, Bobby, do you have the position?

963
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:06,440
Speaker 8: It should I should know better than to trust anything.

964
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:10,160
Speaker 8: Bobby belts, Tom Bobby, but boy, but yeah, but there

965
00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:12,440
Speaker 8: was some Bobby said, there was the twelve times, and

966
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:16,160
Speaker 8: the snaps there were opportunities twelve and I felt that

967
00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:16,919
Speaker 8: was a lot too.

968
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 5: But now he might also be talking about because there

969
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:19,440
Speaker 5: were an.

970
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 2: Emotions, emotions.

971
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:21,440
Speaker 4: There are a lot of times they.

972
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 5: Ran empty yesterday exactly, so Paula was only running back

973
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:25,919
Speaker 5: on the field, but he was out. He was lined

974
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 5: up out wide. So if he's talking about that, that

975
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:28,239
Speaker 5: makes it.

976
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:30,040
Speaker 8: I'm gonna blame him if I'm wrong about it, because

977
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:32,480
Speaker 8: I think Bobby was. But there were several times at

978
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:34,239
Speaker 8: least I know where he was lined up when they

979
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:37,000
Speaker 8: went empty or they put him out there, yeah, and

980
00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:38,000
Speaker 8: out in the out.

981
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:38,320
Speaker 2: In the flat.

982
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:41,239
Speaker 7: That's something we'll probably have to go back and chart

983
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:42,919
Speaker 7: on the film because I hear what Bobby saying.

984
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:44,759
Speaker 3: Bobby is, I love him to death. He's really good.

985
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 7: As wrong could be though, because you know, based on

986
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:51,359
Speaker 7: what our next Gen friends was saying, Rico lined out

987
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:52,760
Speaker 7: White only one snap.

988
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:55,080
Speaker 4: Not Rico. He said, I thought you said Tony.

989
00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:57,400
Speaker 3: Tony, Tony, go back and get Tony.

990
00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:00,279
Speaker 5: Yeah talk, which again I do think that's possible. Chart

991
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:02,200
Speaker 5: the games as they're going on, and I think Tony

992
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:04,720
Speaker 5: was lined up why they went empty a lot yesterday

993
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 5: which I was a little bit surprised at, but it's

994
00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 5: starting to become a regular part of their offense now,

995
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:10,600
Speaker 5: so it didn't surprise me if he was out there

996
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 5: twelve times.

997
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 7: Okay, so there you go, Bobby right, seven times seven seven.

998
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:17,799
Speaker 2: Times he probably said seven, and I just added it

999
00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:19,719
Speaker 2: up because I'm an idiot, you know that kind of thing.

1000
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:23,520
Speaker 8: Seven times, so that you know, Jerry Jones talked about

1001
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:25,400
Speaker 8: that on one oh five three the Fan that maybe

1002
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:29,400
Speaker 8: you were going to see something different formationally, scheme wise

1003
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 8: with Pollard and that was the little nuggety three.

1004
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:35,239
Speaker 2: So seven times they threw him outside there.

1005
00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:37,400
Speaker 4: So all right, we appreciate you guys, Jonas.

1006
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:37,799
Speaker 5: That's a rap.

1007
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:38,960
Speaker 4: We we'll be back tomorrow.

1008
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 5: We'll talk a little bit more big picture around the Cowboys,

1009
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 5: around the.

1010
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:44,200
Speaker 4: NFC East and even the NFC.

1011
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:46,799
Speaker 5: This thing is interesting, getting more and more interesting by

1012
00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:49,840
Speaker 5: the league in Minnesota. Minnesota Roling, all right, we're going

1013
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:52,319
Speaker 5: to talk about that tomorrow. Till then for Patrick Walker,
