Speaker 3: 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 Ambar Garcia, Brian brought Us, Nick Harris, and Derek Eagleton.
Speaker 3: It is Thursday, October twenty fourth, twenty twenty four, Season twenty,
Speaker 3: episode number fifty four. Welcome to the latest edition of
Speaker 3: The Break. We are live from that s WBC Mortgage
Speaker 3: Studios at the Star, presenter by LG. LG's the World's
Speaker 3: the World's number one O that TV brand for seven
Speaker 3: years in counting see why at LG dot com, Ford
Speaker 3: slash O, led Evo. All right, we got a lot
Speaker 3: to get into today. What's that look for?
Speaker 4: I think it was really funny yesterday because I think
Speaker 4: some viewers maybe watched our show late in the day
Speaker 4: yesterday and heard us talking about jury.
Speaker 3: Duty, and I know, I know that's what I was
Speaker 3: gonna go for.
Speaker 4: This idea. We had no idea that was. That was
Speaker 4: the first thing that popped in my mind when everything
Speaker 4: went down this.
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, look just to take you by and we
Speaker 3: were talking about jerry duty because I had jury duty,
Speaker 3: or I was supposed to have jury duty on Monday.
Speaker 3: They sent me a message on Friday saying we don't
Speaker 3: need your services. I was like, great, I got out
Speaker 3: of it. Amber was saying, I want to be on
Speaker 3: jury so bad. And then all of a sudden we
Speaker 3: get on the report that not only was was it
Speaker 3: Brandon's time, Brandon Aubrey kicker for the Dallas Cowboys, he
Speaker 3: actually got selected and it was actually a sitting member
Speaker 3: of the jury. And I just sent the message that
Speaker 3: Amber the injury report and just kind of circled his
Speaker 3: name and jury. Yeah, everybody's getting the opportunity that for
Speaker 3: some reason, they don't want you to.
Speaker 5: Be boy curious how you found out details of the
Speaker 5: on the case because.
Speaker 3: He's a reporter.
Speaker 4: And the funny thing is, I've been told he's been
Speaker 4: one of the most courteous, like one of the most
Speaker 4: attention attention.
Speaker 6: Got what do you mean you've been told by people?
Speaker 6: Why would I say a source.
Speaker 2: All the life.
Speaker 6: He's got people, But yeah, one of the.
Speaker 4: Most courteous, one of the more attention to detail jurors
Speaker 4: of the twelve person jury on this case. It's a
Speaker 4: third second degree strangulation case in Tarren County.
Speaker 6: That's carry wild, absolutely wild.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, all the questions came up. I was talking
Speaker 3: to my wife last night. She's an attorney, so she
Speaker 3: lives in this world. But she was just like, so,
Speaker 3: what about like Monday, Like, if this case is still
Speaker 3: going Monday, is he gonna be back in time? I
Speaker 3: was like, well, yeah, we get back early in the morning.
Speaker 3: It's gonna suck for him. Monday's gonna suck really bad
Speaker 3: because if anybody knows, if you've gone through a night
Speaker 3: you don't sleep very much and then you gotta go
Speaker 3: sit and listen to people talk all day. That's gonna suck.
Speaker 5: But once you're so lately like you're, it's not like
Speaker 5: you can get out of it.
Speaker 3: Not really not there were because I brought up the question.
Speaker 3: I was like, so, what happens if.
Speaker 2: They could strike you that you've been compromised?
Speaker 3: Yes, they can't. They well they have they have alternates,
Speaker 3: so they could actually replace you. But I was like,
Speaker 3: what happens if and I'm please don't let this happen,
Speaker 3: But what happens if we're in San Francisco and something
Speaker 3: happens with the plan, something happens with whatever, where we
Speaker 3: can't get back by Monday morning, we actually have to
Speaker 3: stay longer, or we get delayed, or whatever the case
Speaker 3: might be. Please don't let that happen. Right, If what happens,
Speaker 3: and she's like, I guess at that point, they probably
Speaker 3: have to put one on the alternates and if he
Speaker 3: can't be there, like the expectations, if you're in if
Speaker 3: you're in town and available, you're there. But the reason
Speaker 3: why they have alternates is if there's a medical emergency,
Speaker 3: if there's something that takes you out of town that
Speaker 3: you weren't expecting, or you couldn't get back into yeah
Speaker 3: something right, you know, something like that. But but yeah,
Speaker 3: I mean, by all accounts, he's gonna have to go
Speaker 3: in if the case is still going on Monday morning,
Speaker 3: he's gonna we're gonna get back at four thirty and
Speaker 3: he'll probably report the court by eight am, sit through
Speaker 3: a day of court.
Speaker 5: It's so random and so mild that that just happened.
Speaker 2: Like those lawyers knew what they were doing. Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: they know, they know who you are. Seriously, they know
Speaker 2: your background, so they'll ask questions. Well they're they're maybe
Speaker 2: not forty nine er fans, but trust me, these lawyers
Speaker 2: know who Brandon Aubrey is. The really good lawyers know
Speaker 2: the backgrounds of especially if it's a very high profile case.
Speaker 2: That's part of like selecting the jury. I mean, one
Speaker 2: of the great movies you've ever seen is a movie
Speaker 2: called The Runaway Jury. Jeene Hackman in it, and how
Speaker 2: they go through jury selection and how they pinpoint certain
Speaker 2: jurors because their backgrounds or where they're from.
Speaker 5: Lincoln Lawyer. If you guys are on Netflix, Great Show,
Speaker 5: they just came up with a new season having with
Speaker 5: Great Show.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the lawyers know. They everybody knows, damn good and
Speaker 2: will who Brandon Aubrey is sitting on that jury.
Speaker 3: Well you have to give as even last week when
Speaker 3: I was making sure I was all signed up and
Speaker 3: registering everything, they ask you, who do you work for?
Speaker 3: What's your like, what's your title or what's your profession
Speaker 3: or whatever, So they know coming in like National Football
Speaker 3: League York of the Dallas Cowboys kicker like they know
Speaker 3: what his job is. They know exactly who he is.
Speaker 3: So yeah, there's no we don't need this exactly, and
Speaker 3: I'm good with I'm so good with that.
Speaker 2: Sometimes though that that does help you though, if they
Speaker 2: feel that they do know you well enough and you're
Speaker 2: an outspoken person. That's like for me, I was talking
Speaker 2: about if you in my case, I applied, I put
Speaker 2: I was I'm a media personality, and they immediately kicked
Speaker 2: me off because they think that I'll have an opinion
Speaker 2: that will sway others. So that's what they did. Like
Speaker 2: when I when we all sat down and we were
Speaker 2: doing the selection and they mean, mister Broadis, you can leave.
Speaker 2: I know I did as soon as I sat down
Speaker 2: with the group. The first one they said it was,
Speaker 2: mister Brodist, you can leave, and I and I just
Speaker 2: stood up and everybody kind of looked at me, and
Speaker 2: I just walked off. I got I get donated my
Speaker 2: six bucks back to whoever you know gets the six
Speaker 2: bucks for jury duty, you know, and they.
Speaker 5: Give you six bucks.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they give you money. Yeah, they give you money
Speaker 2: for being on the jury.
Speaker 3: Can you see the look on Bride's face like they're like,
Speaker 3: mister Bradis, you can leave, and He's like that it no.
Speaker 3: I they got there.
Speaker 2: I literally got there. I got there on the group.
Speaker 2: I got there down downtown and downtown Dallas and sat
Speaker 2: down with my group, and I was prepared. I was
Speaker 2: prepared to be select. And the first guy go the
Speaker 2: first lawyer goes, mister Brodist, you can leave. And I
Speaker 2: didn't get to say a word. I stood up and
Speaker 2: I just left. But they they know, they know who
Speaker 2: you are, and they know your background.
Speaker 4: I think it's really funny, just because, like as any
Speaker 4: employer would do, because thinking that most people don't want
Speaker 4: to be on jury duty. Was talking with with Brandon
Speaker 4: Cowboys being like, hey, we you know, we can get
Speaker 4: you out of this, and he's like, no, I want
Speaker 4: to feel my safe duty. So this is Brandon really
Speaker 4: wanting to be on a jury, just like Ambar over here.
Speaker 4: But the question I have is why couldn't if he
Speaker 4: had deferred.
Speaker 6: It to the off season.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I have so many questions about this that we won't
Speaker 6: get into.
Speaker 3: I love. I would love to do a jury too.
Speaker 3: I think most people probably would because it's intriguing. The
Speaker 3: problem is you just don't know what you're going to
Speaker 3: be called to case. Because what I what would be
Speaker 3: like worst case for me is some long trial. Well, questered,
Speaker 3: like all that kind of stuff where now you're like
Speaker 3: you're old, and I'm like I couldn't. I just I'm
Speaker 3: already I got a d D. I can't sit there
Speaker 3: that long. You're telling me, I got to be there
Speaker 3: for a week every day, all day shoot around here
Speaker 3: doing hour long meetings. I'm just like bawling out of
Speaker 3: my skin, like I got to get up and.
Speaker 6: Move around a little different.
Speaker 5: You're listening to evidence people a case, they're going up there.
Speaker 5: You're listening to I can do.
Speaker 3: I can do it.
Speaker 2: I can for a day.
Speaker 3: I can't give you more than a day a day.
Speaker 4: Well, to bring it back to football brand, and is
Speaker 4: still getting his practice time in during the week. So
Speaker 4: the day is over, he's coming to the facility and
Speaker 4: working one on one with bones.
Speaker 3: During breaks, he just goes outside and kicks exactly you might.
Speaker 4: See him in the little courtyard outside the courthouse. But no,
Speaker 4: So yesterday he came in did his normal work. Today
Speaker 4: he'll come in and do his kick work and then
Speaker 4: typically he doesn't kick until game day after Thursday, and
Speaker 4: that he's going to stick to that routine and his
Speaker 4: practice routine doesn't really change.
Speaker 6: It's just when he is applying that practice routine.
Speaker 2: Did you get out of the courthouse yesterday?
Speaker 6: Can neither confirm or deny he got what he's.
Speaker 2: Doing good for you.
Speaker 3: He knows and he's doing good stuff. Saluting to Brandon,
Speaker 3: I appreciate the fact that people people will take their
Speaker 3: responsibility series and uh seriously and do their jobs, do
Speaker 3: their duty. All right, let's jump in. Let's talk about
Speaker 3: a couple other injuries from the injury report. Is not
Speaker 3: injury but on the report, Deran Bland, Michael Parson's we've
Speaker 3: talked about them. Yeah, at this point, like it's looking
Speaker 3: obviously it's looking very much like, Yeah, I don't know
Speaker 3: about Micah. With Deron, I don't even know what to
Speaker 3: really think anymore, because he did have those two days
Speaker 3: where he practiced full, then he didn't practice heading into
Speaker 3: the Detroit game, and then obviously he shows up and
Speaker 3: did not practice yesterday. What are you guys hearing about him?
Speaker 3: Just from the standpoint of how's he doing? Like, is
Speaker 3: this a situation where he's just not progressing or is
Speaker 3: this a situation where maybe it's a setback.
Speaker 4: Brian will probably have a better info here specifically, you
Speaker 4: got but any thoughts on it though, on Bland specifically, Yeah,
Speaker 4: because I think I was just diving in my notes here.
Speaker 4: I think here with Bland, definitely a setback suffered right
Speaker 4: before that Lion's game. I think the anticipation was that
Speaker 4: he would return for that, and so they're trying to
Speaker 4: slowly work him back in. Yesterday he was a DNP
Speaker 4: even though they expected him to be limited. Obviously not
Speaker 4: trending in the right direction, but it's still looking to
Speaker 4: be a game time decision on Sunday.
Speaker 2: Yeah, in my notes, I went back and looked, and
Speaker 2: they were hopeful, and the word I got is he's
Speaker 2: not completely one hundred percent healthy, and that's what they're
Speaker 2: dealing with right now. Now. They're trying to get him
Speaker 2: as close to one hundred percent as it can. And
Speaker 2: I know people out there like not all these guys
Speaker 2: aren't a hundred percent, but in his case, they feel
Speaker 2: like they need to get him there to be able
Speaker 2: to do it. They're hopeful, that was the word that
Speaker 2: they were used, but not one hundred percent completely completely healthy.
Speaker 4: I think with him specifically, you get Kaylen Carson back
Speaker 4: at practice yesterday at a full participant, you don't have
Speaker 4: to activate it. You don't have to activate Deron Blaine
Speaker 4: until next Wednesday at the very latest, So if they
Speaker 4: want to wait one more week, they certainly can't.
Speaker 3: But at that point, and again going in the twenty
Speaker 3: one day rule, if they don't activate him at that point,
Speaker 3: he'd be on eye off for the Seaton. So at
Speaker 3: that point you got to bring him back if you
Speaker 3: plan to play in for the rest of the year,
Speaker 3: even if he's injured, and that means you might just
Speaker 3: have to carry him as an injured player, right, Yeah,
Speaker 3: all right, let's talk about a couple other guys, Eric
Speaker 3: Kendricks Limited, Nick Vigil Limited, Ryan f Illinoy Limited, John
Speaker 3: Stevens Limited. What particularly talking about the linebackers Kendricks and Vigil.
Speaker 3: What are we hearing there?
Speaker 4: Don't have anything on Vigil, but Kendricks specifically trending in
Speaker 4: the right direction for Sunday, and he was pretty upbeat
Speaker 4: yesterday in the locker room talking about the matchup with
Speaker 4: the forty nine ers, So I would expect he but
Speaker 4: obviously just kind of monitored as we goes on.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's on with us at five o'clock today on
Speaker 2: our Player show, Always the Fan. He's he's actually a
Speaker 2: really great interview. You can ask him a million questions
Speaker 2: about anything and he'll give you an answer.
Speaker 3: Because he's got it like he's an interesting it really is,
Speaker 3: he really is.
Speaker 2: It's been really a lot of fun for us.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 2: When we asked him before the bye about you know,
Speaker 2: we said how are you feeling, he goes, I'm good,
Speaker 2: and he left it at that, and we all took
Speaker 2: it as.
Speaker 3: I got Williams movie, I got.
Speaker 2: I got word that they're going to put him out
Speaker 2: there and see what happens and see if if it
Speaker 2: if it works out, well, we'll see about how the
Speaker 2: practice designations go. But the plan this week was to
Speaker 2: try and to try and get him out there and
Speaker 2: see if he could do some things, hopefully today. If
Speaker 2: he comes on today with us at five o'clock and
Speaker 2: says I'm good and leaves it at that, then you
Speaker 2: know he's probably not gonna play. But if he's like
Speaker 2: no man, feeling great looking forward to it, you know
Speaker 2: he gets If he gets a little bit more into it,
Speaker 2: I think you'll have a better understanding of where he's at.
Speaker 4: Not that this has anything to do with his availability,
Speaker 4: but if everybody recalls back to free agency. He initially
Speaker 4: agreed to sign with the forty nine ers, Yeah, and
Speaker 4: then kind of flipped his commitment, if you will, to
Speaker 4: the Cowboys a couple of days later.
Speaker 6: So this is an interesting game.
Speaker 3: For him, Ryan Illinoy, what do we hear?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't have anything there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, nothing that I can gain from that.
Speaker 3: Or we'll see where that goes later in the week. Obviously,
Speaker 3: wide receiver is still an area for them because Brandon
Speaker 3: Cooks obviously still is out. But we'll keep eyes on that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, with Cooks, I've heard it's a frustrating process kind
Speaker 4: of with him, but that he's getting treatment and he
Speaker 4: has to miss at least through the Falcons game.
Speaker 6: But the hope is that he can come back for
Speaker 6: the following week, which I believe.
Speaker 3: Is the Egals.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so at home, there's still a hope. There, a
Speaker 6: high hope there.
Speaker 3: All right. There are a few names on the forty
Speaker 3: nine ers list. One that I didn't expect. George Kittle
Speaker 3: pops up at it did not practice with a foot
Speaker 3: injury spray foot right, Yeah, and then we knew about
Speaker 3: Deebo Samuels who was released from the hospital on Monday.
Speaker 3: Juwan Jennings remains out with a hip. They're wide received.
Speaker 3: I mean that that would be of those three, and
Speaker 3: then you take Ayuk their top four pass catchers on
Speaker 3: their team that are right now as of yesterday not practicing.
Speaker 3: How much does that really? I mean, are you hearing
Speaker 3: anything first of all about George Kittle and how serious
Speaker 3: this might be or is this more one of those
Speaker 3: things of he's got some discomfort sit him Just to
Speaker 3: kind of.
Speaker 2: It sounded like Kyle Shanahan was trending the saying that
Speaker 2: they were going to play at him and Samuel both
Speaker 2: were gonna play. Kittle and Samuel We're going to play,
Speaker 2: so we'll see how things shake out. I get some
Speaker 2: connections there. I'm waiting to ask that question at the
Speaker 2: very end to see where that was. Yeah, I'm not
Speaker 2: gonna Yeah, I'm just gonna hold it till the very
Speaker 2: end and hit him one time with it. Can't keep
Speaker 2: doing it all Well, if you do it all week,
Speaker 2: they're not going to tell you anything. So I'm just
Speaker 2: gonna wait till I absolutely needed. But uh, but yeah,
Speaker 2: it just listened to Shanahan talk yesterday. It sounded like
Speaker 2: that it kills as a foot sprain. Yeah, so man,
Speaker 2: I mean, they.
Speaker 3: Can't be running well on this brain. I wouldn't.
Speaker 2: But they've got they've got an off week the next week.
Speaker 2: I mean, so maybe. And let's be honest too, they're
Speaker 2: just as desperate as you are to get a win,
Speaker 2: no doubt their team. This could be at this loss
Speaker 2: if it were to happen. Put it three and five
Speaker 2: going into the bye boy, and that's that's not a
Speaker 2: good situation for them at all.
Speaker 3: I will tell you this though, And I heard this
Speaker 3: this morning on the radio. I think it was Sean
Speaker 3: on Seawan and RJ this morning. It was one of
Speaker 3: the guys on that. No, no, no, it was Babe doing
Speaker 3: an interview on Sewan and RJ, and he said that
Speaker 3: the thing about the forty nine ers is the last
Speaker 3: two years when they've ended up in the NFC Championship Game,
Speaker 3: they started both those seasons three and four exactly where
Speaker 3: they are now. Yeah, So this is a team that
Speaker 3: doesn't panic. This is a team that kind of is
Speaker 3: a slow starter, has traditionally been a slow starter, and
Speaker 3: as a team, as a season goes, they tend to
Speaker 3: pick up and they get it rolling. And by the
Speaker 3: end of the season they found themselves in the NFC
Speaker 3: Championship game. So I think the point he was making
Speaker 3: is that number one that's who they are. But number
Speaker 3: two this season is far from over four teams that
Speaker 3: are three and three, three and four, whatever, there's still
Speaker 3: a lot of football. We played three and.
Speaker 5: Three or.
Speaker 3: Three and three, that's who we are, Bill, Bill Parcells
Speaker 3: says you are who your record says you are.
Speaker 2: I don't think you would be with the injuries. I
Speaker 2: don't think you would be disheartened if you're a Cowboy
Speaker 2: fan if those games you lost hadn't been so just
Speaker 2: all three. Yeah, I think that if if somehow, some
Speaker 2: way you got to the Atlanta game, after the Atlanta
Speaker 2: game and you were four and four with the injuries
Speaker 2: that they've.
Speaker 3: Had, and you got those guys back, would be.
Speaker 2: You would be feeling pretty darn good about your situation.
Speaker 2: But those losses expose some very very potentially fatal flaws
Speaker 2: for your defense and for your offense too well.
Speaker 5: Even in the win, a lot of stuff.
Speaker 2: My hope is every week they play like they did
Speaker 2: against Pittsburgh. Yeah, that that to me, I've said it before.
Speaker 2: That was a tough pretty You had your down guys,
Speaker 2: you had to deal with the weather delay you're traveling.
Speaker 2: Nothing was good about that trip. That's a hard place
Speaker 2: to play. Pittsburgh's playing pretty you know, pretty well right now. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so you know.
Speaker 3: What's the record? Four two two now, Yeah, it's not
Speaker 3: a bad that's a good football team that you beat
Speaker 3: up there at their place.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: All right, we're gonna take our first break. We'll come back.
Speaker 3: We'll jump into the San Francisco defense. Brian has his

Speaker 4: There's no bright side to this at all, but it
Speaker 4: does make it easier to Activatedron Blaine this weekend by
Speaker 4: just putting John Stevens on ir Now, that's true that
Speaker 4: they don't have to figure out who to take off
Speaker 4: or who to cut things of that nature.
Speaker 6: So not a bright side, but it's just it does.

Speaker 3: Just Illinoy will be back today hopefully in practice.
Speaker 2: Sorry I didn't ask about that one earlier.
Speaker 3: No, it's all good, All good, All right, let's jump
Speaker 3: into the San Francisco defense, Brian, I was looking at
Speaker 3: some of the numbers around them. They really are their
Speaker 3: defense middle of the league when it comes to a
Speaker 3: lot of categories. Points aloud, they're sixteenth yards allowed, They're fourteenth.
Speaker 3: My question for you is, just as a big picture
Speaker 3: as you're looking at this team, are they better worse
Speaker 3: for the same than they were last year?
Speaker 2: Defensively, I think they're actually worse than they were now.
Speaker 2: I will say this just because I think that they're
Speaker 2: having to play with some different uh, they're having to
Speaker 2: play with some different pieces and every you know, everybody
Speaker 2: around the league is kind of, you know, dealing with
Speaker 2: the same thing. When you when you when you start
Speaker 2: to talk about, uh, these these defenses, and you know, Hafunga,
Speaker 2: their safety is a really good player. Javin Hargrave is
Speaker 2: not playing. He you know, he was hurt in week four.
Speaker 9: Uh.
Speaker 2: He's been a really really good player for them. They've
Speaker 2: just been kind of struggling at some different spots.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 2: People have kind of attacked them a little bit differently.
Speaker 2: But you know, it really comes down to like Nick
Speaker 2: Bosa and it comes down to Fred Warner. Uh, you know,
Speaker 2: Leonard Floyd, Uh for who they added from Buffalo, has
Speaker 2: been a good addition for them.
Speaker 6: Underrated, if you will.
Speaker 2: Under Yeah, I mean, you know, Bosa gets pressures and
Speaker 2: and so does Floyd. And Malik Collins is actually playing
Speaker 2: pretty well for him, you know, if you look at
Speaker 2: his situation. Kevin Gibbons is a defensive tackle that has
Speaker 2: kind of been on their team since he was a
Speaker 2: college free agent in twenty nineteen. He was like a
Speaker 2: rotational defensive tackle, had like three and a half four
Speaker 2: and a half sacks for a career. He's got three
Speaker 2: and a half sacks for him this year. So they've
Speaker 2: got guys that are kind of stepping up and helping
Speaker 2: them with some of their defensive stuff. But it was
Speaker 2: really interesting to watch them play the Arizona Cardinals because
Speaker 2: we all know what the Cardinals are, the pen and
Speaker 2: poll stuff that they do. But their quarterback, Kyler Murray
Speaker 2: is a pain in the ass to play against. And
Speaker 2: I say that with all due respect. Now he really
Speaker 2: his ability to There were times in that game and
Speaker 2: I'm watching it and I'm going, I go, they've got
Speaker 2: you know, and then and he pulls the ball and
Speaker 2: then it's a twenty yard gain or you know, if
Speaker 2: he hands that ball, it's going to be a loss
Speaker 2: of three. Instead he pulls it and now they've crashed
Speaker 2: everybody and he's out the gate and they don't get
Speaker 2: the linebacker over. And I mean, it's fascinating to watch
Speaker 2: teams play that have that quarterback with the ability to run,
Speaker 2: you know like that, and you know, they've had, they've
Speaker 2: dealt with some teams that have had that quarterback that
Speaker 2: does have some ability to move and it's given him
Speaker 2: a little bit of some problems, but it's still a
Speaker 2: really really good defense. In my opinion, I just feel
Speaker 2: like that. Like I say, you're going to have to
Speaker 2: find a way to be able to handle Nick Bosa
Speaker 2: in this game. And they you know he's going to
Speaker 2: He's going to flop sides, and he's actually been more
Speaker 2: productive on the right side when he comes to pressures
Speaker 2: and sacks than he does when he normally plays on
Speaker 2: the left side. So we'll see what Dallas does this week.
Speaker 2: If it's Guyton, if it's Smith, we'll see. My gut
Speaker 2: is that it'll probably be guitting over there. But yeah,
Speaker 2: you've got to find a way to take care of
Speaker 2: Nick Bosa. But I mentioned Leonard Floyd could be just
Speaker 2: as just as dangerous as a pass rusher.
Speaker 4: Let me ask you a question on the Bosa point,
Speaker 4: because from what I've seen from San Francisco this year,
Speaker 4: their pass rush kind of moves at Bosa's pace, Like
Speaker 4: when Bosa is has a high motor, they have a
Speaker 4: high motor when he's kind of down and he's reeling,
Speaker 4: the entire.
Speaker 6: Line is reeling.
Speaker 4: The only caveat I would give is Leonard Floyd just
Speaker 4: because he's he's been able to generate isolated pressure.
Speaker 2: No, I think I think your scout eye is very
Speaker 2: good on that. I think they're big four man pressure team.
Speaker 2: They don't want to bring Blitz, so how he plays
Speaker 2: is really how they kind of get going.
Speaker 12: Uh.
Speaker 2: I felt like they did a pretty good job of
Speaker 2: getting after Mahomes last week in the in the game,
Speaker 2: you know, Mahomes was having to move around a little
Speaker 2: bit in this game, and and and have to make
Speaker 2: some off platform throws. Uh. But uh, you know it's
Speaker 2: going to be about four man rush and you know
Speaker 2: they're gonna they're gonna play coverage and and uh and
Speaker 2: see if they can enforce you into a mistake that way,
Speaker 2: like a guy Fred Warner or you know Ward Uh
Speaker 2: or Lenore. The corner that they've those guys are are
Speaker 2: are pretty good corners. They've been attacking Lenore a little
Speaker 2: bit more than Ward Uh.
Speaker 6: In this nunthful. Oh that was a mouthful. Leonor I'm
Speaker 6: a little bit more than war then Lendora.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's but their safety, their safety play. Mustafa,
Speaker 2: the rookie from Elite, Mustafa from Wake Forest is played
Speaker 2: really well for them, filling in for for for Hunga
Speaker 2: Hu Funga from USC. But jay Al Brown, the other
Speaker 2: safety people have kind of matched up with him, and
Speaker 2: teams have had success throwing the football on him. So, however,
Speaker 2: you could find a way to get number twenty seven
Speaker 2: into a little bit of coverage and then their nickel
Speaker 2: Ittam has also had some problems too in coverage as well.
Speaker 2: So a couple of different spots. The nickel number twenty
Speaker 2: two and the free safety are the two guys that
Speaker 2: seem to be the guys that if you can match
Speaker 2: him up or match your best up with those guys,
Speaker 2: the teams have had a little success.
Speaker 3: Sounds like a good week. Try to get CD in
Speaker 3: the slot more.
Speaker 2: Yeah, every every week, I I come out and talk
Speaker 2: about these matchups and then I watched like the Lions
Speaker 2: game and they don't move the ball with the dam
Speaker 2: And then the general manager comes on a Monday it says,
Speaker 2: we felt like we could throw the ball on the Lions,
Speaker 2: and they're like, yeah, so we did, so did I
Speaker 2: you know, but hopefully they can they can figure out
Speaker 2: a way to get that done. It's hard to run
Speaker 2: the ball in these guys because of Fred Warner. He
Speaker 2: makes it really really difficult.
Speaker 3: Might be the best middle linebacker he.
Speaker 2: Is, he is, and you put him in coverage and
Speaker 2: he's he's capable of knocking passes down, he's capable of
Speaker 2: running with guys. He gets interceptions, and my man's got
Speaker 2: like eight interceptions in his career, you know, just playing
Speaker 2: as a just playing as a linebacker. So it'll be
Speaker 2: it'll be a little bit of a difficult task, but
Speaker 2: you got to make sure that you take care of Bosa.
Speaker 2: But you can't sleep on Leonard Floyd on the other
Speaker 2: end as well.
Speaker 4: One Winners is another linebacker in that second level that's
Speaker 4: played well. Even without Greenlaw, it's still a talented second level. Obviously,
Speaker 4: green Law tours Achilles in the Super Bowl. If y'all
Speaker 4: remember last year when they have Devondre Campbell in, there's
Speaker 4: been some opportunities that they run his way and they're
Speaker 4: able to get into the second level that opposing teams
Speaker 4: have been able to kind of break some things. But
Speaker 4: also if a tight end is matched up on Devondre Campbell,
Speaker 4: they've had success against him as well.
Speaker 6: Campbell has not been good this year.
Speaker 3: The one thing I noticed that that they're actually doing
Speaker 3: really well is they're fourth in the league in turnovers
Speaker 3: right now. Yeah, my question is are they forcing a
Speaker 3: lot of turnovers or is this just a situation where
Speaker 3: they're taking advantage of teams that are just making mistakes.
Speaker 3: You know, you see a lot of times you get interceptions.
Speaker 3: It's more of a situation of overthrows and stuff like that.
Speaker 3: Or are they really getting in there and they're playing
Speaker 3: tight coverage to the point where they're getting interception, they're
Speaker 3: forcing those interception.
Speaker 2: I think they're forcing them. I think there's only been
Speaker 2: one game where they haven't had an interception. That was
Speaker 2: the Rams game. I think everybody else has been it's
Speaker 2: been one interception, one interception. I think the last three
Speaker 2: weeks it's been one two two on the game, so
Speaker 2: they've had five interceptions to the last three games. The
Speaker 2: way problem the way.
Speaker 4: They plays this is a physical secondary and I think
Speaker 4: that's even more of a problem against this Cowboys team
Speaker 4: that has not done well and has kind of been
Speaker 4: dejected when physicality has been thrown on them.
Speaker 3: So it's what we talked about. Their ability to be
Speaker 3: able to run Chris Browse, to be able to get
Speaker 3: off the line clean like those are things that have
Speaker 3: been a challenge for them and so you face a
Speaker 3: team like this. One of the things I love about
Speaker 3: Wards game like he is a very aggressive cornerback, and
Speaker 3: and if you can't beat his aggression, you're you're just done.
Speaker 4: I mean, once yours, you'll see it this week, You'll
Speaker 4: see it next week against Atlanta with a J.
Speaker 6: Terrell. You'll see it the following week in Philly with
Speaker 6: those guys.
Speaker 4: I mean, you're gonna have to figure out how to
Speaker 4: play against physicality eventually.
Speaker 3: Yep, yep.
Speaker 6: All right.
Speaker 3: One other thing I want to hit up. They are
Speaker 3: twenty third right now in red zone percentage allowed. They're
Speaker 3: not doing very well when it comes to stopping teams
Speaker 3: in the red zone. Happens to match up with an
Speaker 3: area the Cowboys haven't really been able to get going.
Speaker 3: Is this the week Dallas gets that going and they're
Speaker 3: actually able to convert touchdowns as opposed to using the
Speaker 3: jury man, mister and Brandon Aupry.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a jury man. Yeah, that's a fascinating step.
Speaker 4: I guess I missed that in my prep. But I
Speaker 4: think I think you're you're getting a little bit different intention,
Speaker 4: a little bit different approach coming out of the bye week.
Speaker 4: I think it's more about the Cowboys and less about
Speaker 4: the Niners trying to figure out these red zone problems.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it I think the point that Nick made earlier
Speaker 2: about how aggressive they you know, it's funny how teams
Speaker 2: do get down and they kind of lose track of
Speaker 2: their guys down there. You know, you've played against some
Speaker 2: teams that, if they've they've played against some teams that
Speaker 2: that have been able to kind of find the end
Speaker 2: zone throwing the football where going down the field, you
Speaker 2: really haven't been able to do that all that well
Speaker 2: against them. It seems like the shorter the field, the
Speaker 2: better they should be playing, but they really haven't been.
Speaker 2: And it might go back to but you're talking about
Speaker 2: with Campbell as well, the linebacker just not getting it
Speaker 2: done like you need to, uh, you know, and that
Speaker 2: it's it's been it's been a little bit of a struggle,
Speaker 2: as you mentioned Nick with him playing, but they've struggled
Speaker 2: also too with their line getting you know, getting making
Speaker 2: sure everything was buttoned up down there. There have been
Speaker 2: some guys that have been able to run some routes
Speaker 2: on them and be able to get into the end
Speaker 2: zone that way.
Speaker 3: I agree.
Speaker 5: I think it's definitely a Cowboys problem rather than who
Speaker 5: the opponent is. And obviously, when you hear a stat
Speaker 5: like that. Hopefully it should help your at least make
Speaker 5: things easier for you to get into the end zone
Speaker 5: as long as you don't throw an interception before get
Speaker 5: into the red zone.
Speaker 6: So hopefully there's that.
Speaker 2: Well, the thing is, if you look at Dallas and
Speaker 2: I think this is where Nick's wright your averaging point
Speaker 2: eight yards a rush, not even a yard, but point eight.
Speaker 2: When you're in the red zone rush and the ball,
Speaker 2: you don't have any ability to run the ball down there,
Speaker 2: you don't have any ability. And then your quarterback to me,
Speaker 2: it's very simple to say all the play call and
Speaker 2: the scheme, this and that and other, but really it's
Speaker 2: so much of a combination. I don't know if they
Speaker 2: could fix everything that goes wrong down there. They don't
Speaker 2: block particularly well. The quarterback and the receiver seem to
Speaker 2: have some type of disconnect. Get anybody open down there,
Speaker 2: and then it turns into, oh, let's try and run
Speaker 2: the ball. Well, that's a negative play or a no gain.
Speaker 2: And now you're you know, oh, it's second in you know,
Speaker 2: instead of being second in two or three, it's you know,
Speaker 2: it's second and nine. If they're inside the ten, you know,
Speaker 2: they don't just they don't get anything out of that.
Speaker 5: And well, like design some place for your quarterback to
Speaker 5: run in the red zone, like we've seen them be
Speaker 5: successful at it in the past. We've seen those plays
Speaker 5: work over and over again. Uh, now I'm getting my
Speaker 5: years confused. But there was specific year where we saw
Speaker 5: Dak getting into the end zone a few times just
Speaker 5: by running the ball, and then that disappear, Like why
Speaker 5: don't you have those plays designed for X moments in
Speaker 5: the game.
Speaker 2: I think there were some times where they've tried to
Speaker 2: with the read option stuff. They've tried to, you know,
Speaker 2: and he hands it, he gives it and you and
Speaker 2: then instead of maybe pulling it and trying to I
Speaker 2: don't know how much your quarterback really wants to run.
Speaker 2: I just don't think that's I don't I don't think
Speaker 2: he is. There was a time in his life where muddy, bloody,
Speaker 2: dirty feeling the place. You know, he was diving over people,
Speaker 2: getting helicoptered and all that.
Speaker 5: Well, I'm getting paid you that much. I expect you
Speaker 5: to do anything I need, yeah, or I asked for,
Speaker 5: or at least try.
Speaker 6: I mean to record.
Speaker 2: If you paid a lot of money, we need a
Speaker 2: little bit more sacrifice from you.
Speaker 5: I mean, what are we paying for here? I'm just saying, like,
Speaker 5: at least try. It's not about it, It's not about
Speaker 5: why you like.
Speaker 2: I think he's worried about his health. I think he
Speaker 2: really worried about his health.
Speaker 6: Are we all?
Speaker 4: One thing I did see on film that I think
Speaker 4: could work in first and ten opportunities. Whether this could
Speaker 4: be in the red zone or between the twenties, the
Speaker 4: Chiefs had a lot of success on jet sweeps with
Speaker 4: Hardman and Worthy running away from Bosa. Get involved in
Speaker 4: something like that, I think you.
Speaker 6: Could find some success.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think in a game like running game.
Speaker 3: But I will saying a game like this, this is
Speaker 3: where I want to see as much as anything else.
Speaker 3: I want to see if in the bye week they
Speaker 3: were able to figure out something about what they should
Speaker 3: be doing with their run game to give them more
Speaker 3: run support, Like whether that be personnel, whether that be, hey,
Speaker 3: we need to commit to Rico, whether that be we
Speaker 3: need to get Lifkey more involved. Maybe that's we got
Speaker 3: to get Dalvin Cook in the game, right. I don't
Speaker 3: know what it is, but I will be I will
Speaker 3: be disappointed if we go and finish this game. And
Speaker 3: they've done and it's not apparent that there they've done
Speaker 3: something to address the running game. If they've done nothing,
Speaker 3: then to me, that's that's a miss at this point.
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe not handing the ball to number fifteen might
Speaker 2: be the adjustment.
Speaker 3: Whatever the adjustments, I mean after the you know.
Speaker 2: After the you know, after the said the Detroit game
Speaker 2: where you were kind of you know, you were taking
Speaker 2: carries away. I just don't know how you get into
Speaker 2: the Detroit game or excuse me, the Pittsburgh game, you know,
Speaker 2: you were somewhat affected of doing that. To me, I
Speaker 2: would try and build on that. It seems like they said,
Speaker 2: let's get Zeke involved here and it really didn't work
Speaker 2: out like it needed to be.
Speaker 4: Where's the intention of getting him involved in the receiving
Speaker 4: game after the receiving season he had a year ago, Zeke, Yeah, specifically,
Speaker 4: just try to get him involved in that area.
Speaker 3: And so we want to know something interesting for me
Speaker 3: and I remember when they first drafted Zeke. I remember
Speaker 3: I was talking to coach Brown rest in Peace U
Speaker 3: and he was talking about how much he loved Zeke's game,
Speaker 3: and one of the things he mentioned, he was like, man,
Speaker 3: this guy is such a good receiver out of the backfield.
Speaker 3: He said he is. He said he is good enough
Speaker 3: that if he would have chosen at some point in
Speaker 3: his career to be a receiver, he could have made
Speaker 3: a career of it. He's that good. And And to
Speaker 3: be honest with that, I don't know the Cowboys ever,
Speaker 3: even in his prime, I don't know if they ever
Speaker 3: really took advantage of that assessment of him. Like I
Speaker 3: think they used him out of the backfield as you
Speaker 3: would use running backs, but I don't ever, I never
Speaker 3: felt like they really made him a and like they
Speaker 3: made that part of his game a critical piece in
Speaker 3: their offense. And right now I think it just kind
Speaker 3: of fits with that they still aren't doing it. But
Speaker 3: you know, again, I don't know how much that is
Speaker 3: diminished from what it was at the time when Coach
Speaker 3: Brown was making that assessment.
Speaker 4: But I don't think they've ever really taken advantage of
Speaker 4: That's really good insight.
Speaker 3: Now, all right, we're gonna take our final break. We
Speaker 3: will come back, and we got some questions sacrifice. We
Speaker 3: got some questions from you guys. You guys have hit

Speaker 6: Yeah, And I was like, I don't start.
Speaker 3: Final segment of the break laugh that s WBC Mortgage
Speaker 3: Studios at the start of the segment brought to you
Speaker 3: by blockchain dot Com. Let's take some questions here from
Speaker 3: some fans. Joshua Harkin says, the Cowboys have made it
Speaker 3: clear they aren't buyers at the deadline. Does it make
Speaker 3: sense for them to actually be sellers? If so, who
Speaker 3: could you see them trading?
Speaker 4: It would make sense to be sellers. I think they
Speaker 4: could get I think any team can get value out
Speaker 4: of guys at the deadline. You know, I think a
Speaker 4: couple of years ago, I was looking at at the
Speaker 4: Dorn's Armstrong case and being like, hey, they kind of
Speaker 4: have a surplus of defensive line talent.
Speaker 6: They could trade Dorn's Armstrong in this moment and.
Speaker 4: Probably get offensive tackle help at that time or linebacker
Speaker 4: help at that time.
Speaker 6: And then they never took advantage of that.
Speaker 3: But they will get a convinced story pick for for
Speaker 3: him for sure.
Speaker 4: For sure now that now got a compensatory, so that's
Speaker 4: probably gonna be like what a fifth probably for him, Yes,
Speaker 4: but I think at this point, yeah, I mean, they
Speaker 4: definitely could sell. There are guys on this team that
Speaker 4: I feel like they they do at times have a surplus,
Speaker 4: but also with the way this team has been banged up,
Speaker 4: you might not want to dive into that surplus just yet. Yeah,
Speaker 4: like the beginning of the season, I maybe would have
Speaker 4: said defensive or defensive line in general.
Speaker 6: But you know, there's there's probably no one there that
Speaker 6: you would want to get rid of at this point.
Speaker 2: I wonder if pro Depermits would look at Damount Clark
Speaker 2: and think that they could do something with him.
Speaker 6: M that's one safeties Maybe there's.
Speaker 2: Yeah, uh, you know, I think that you kind of
Speaker 2: you're you're in a little bit of a hole right
Speaker 2: now with your safety. As a matter of fact, we
Speaker 2: you know, when we were talking about San Francisco, one
Speaker 2: of the things they did well is intermediate passing inside,
Speaker 2: you know, in the middle league. To see all those
Speaker 2: crossing routes and stuff. I'll be interested to see how
Speaker 2: Hooker and Wilson play this weekend with that and see
Speaker 2: if their eyes are in the right spot. I'd love
Speaker 2: to see. You know, you talk about you're not a
Speaker 2: very good tackling team. You don't have one of your
Speaker 2: best tacklers on the field with Marquise Bell. You know,
Speaker 2: last year it seemed like Bell made every single tax surprise.
Speaker 3: That they're not using him more.
Speaker 2: There might be something there with him and jan Yer
Speaker 2: Thomas not picking up the defense. I'm just throwing that
Speaker 2: out there. I'm not I don't know anything. I'm just saying,
Speaker 2: why would you not play those guys? You know? But
Speaker 2: I think there's gonna be a point in time where
Speaker 2: you look at Hooker and Wilson you're kind of thinking, well,
Speaker 2: maybe we should see if Bell and Thomas or one
Speaker 2: of one of them could could maybe help you a
Speaker 2: little bit. But I would I would consider I would
Speaker 2: consider looking at Demoon Clark as possible. If I was
Speaker 2: at a pro department of another team, I would call
Speaker 2: you about him. I might call you about TJ. Bass,
Speaker 2: you know, if if in fact that if you know,
Speaker 2: if there was.
Speaker 3: A Hofman maybe even get into that conversation.
Speaker 2: I would probably call you about TJ. Bass.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 2: You know, if Hoffman back the off, I would say, hey, well,
Speaker 2: what are you gonna do with safety? You know you
Speaker 2: got anything you're gonna do with Bellema.
Speaker 3: Subject does move to another subject.
Speaker 2: I would do my very best to kind of move
Speaker 2: around a little bit here. But yeah, you really can't
Speaker 2: do anything at tight in now with John Stevens being out.
Speaker 2: So that's the crew you got that's the crew you
Speaker 2: got right there. I think you could get something for Bass,
Speaker 2: you know, if you wanted to trade.
Speaker 3: We want to get rid of him, though, because I'm
Speaker 3: looking at the fact that I don't know what the
Speaker 3: future holds right now for Zach Martin. Yeah, and I
Speaker 3: think right now, if if Zach Martin does decide to
Speaker 3: move on after this year, I could see a scenario
Speaker 3: where TJ. Bass could just kind of fit in there.
Speaker 2: Kind of feel like though, that to me awesome. Richards
Speaker 2: is a better at guard than he is a tackle.
Speaker 3: Is he better than TJ Bass guard?
Speaker 4: I don't feel like he would maybe be better than
Speaker 4: TJ at right guard to film?
Speaker 3: Are you just saying if I trade, if I trade, I'm.
Speaker 2: Gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna play. I'm gonna use Richards
Speaker 2: and see where he's at and then figure it out
Speaker 2: because I'm probably gonna have to get one anyway.
Speaker 3: Would you trade? Would you trade Richards or do you
Speaker 3: think there's not as much of a market for him
Speaker 3: versus Bass.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 2: He's from a big school North Carolina, so people might
Speaker 2: have had some some good college grades on him when
Speaker 2: he came out. I felt like you should have got
Speaker 2: picked higher than where he was. I really my fifth
Speaker 2: round pick. The thing about him is you can watch
Speaker 2: his tape in the preseason and watch him play guard
Speaker 2: and watch him play tackle. So some versatility with the
Speaker 2: guy that way, I would I would, I would take
Speaker 2: a peek at him for sure if that was the case.
Speaker 3: All right, let's get one other question before we end
Speaker 3: the show. Drew Fisher asked the question. He says, since
Speaker 3: we're obviously not using Lance as a QB and our
Speaker 3: running game has been so bad, he gives us the
Speaker 3: best chance with the big play coming out of the backfield.
Speaker 3: Possibly as a runner, he has more bursts than any
Speaker 3: of the backs. Also, could we use him to throw
Speaker 3: the ball to cause a little confusion, Yeah, he thought
Speaker 3: about using him.
Speaker 4: That sounds like creativity, which is something this offense needs.
Speaker 4: I would be open to it. You know, activating three quarterbacks,
Speaker 4: you would have to figure out where to take that
Speaker 4: away from and.
Speaker 3: A different no doubt, that's the hard part.
Speaker 6: That is the hard part.
Speaker 4: And I think maybe there was a hope that he
Speaker 4: could have been played to a level to be the
Speaker 4: backup going into the year, but they just don't feel
Speaker 4: comfortable with that. So in that in that thought process,
Speaker 4: they would have to activate all three. In case Dak
Speaker 4: went down, they would play Cooper Rush. So yeah, that's
Speaker 4: what you were we pull away from.
Speaker 2: All of a sudden, watch this play Trey Lance and
Speaker 2: to play and then him get hurt and then we
Speaker 2: don't we have him as the second quarterback and now
Speaker 2: you don't have a quarterback kind of a thing. I
Speaker 2: guess Cooper Rush would be the emergency emergency. We saw
Speaker 2: that in Cleveland last week, that Jameis Winston was the
Speaker 2: third quarterback last week and they got both their quarterbacks
Speaker 2: hurt in the game.
Speaker 3: So you can't play the third quarterback.
Speaker 2: You can't play the third quarterback. Yeah, if the other
Speaker 2: two are If the other two are out, so Cooper
Speaker 2: Rush if that was the case, make Trey Lance to
Speaker 2: two and then if you know, if if Dak goes down,
Speaker 2: finish the game with Trey Lance.
Speaker 3: Or if DA goes down, maybe say hey, Tray, yeah.
Speaker 6: This is wild, Like.
Speaker 5: I can't even picture this because that's highly unlikely that
Speaker 5: they would ever do anything like that.
Speaker 4: The forty nine ers were in a position like that
Speaker 4: in the NFC Championship Game a couple of years ago.
Speaker 6: So yeah, they can happen.
Speaker 2: But they kill for Trey Lance then yeah.
Speaker 4: So I mean Cooper Rush or Trey Lance, would you
Speaker 4: try to look at their value a little bit.
Speaker 3: That's an interesting one.
Speaker 6: I mean they're on expiring deals, you know.
Speaker 3: For Trey Lance, absolutely absolutely, I will look at that
Speaker 3: for Trey Lance. For Cooper Rush, I just until while
Speaker 3: I think the Cowboys still have a chance. I'm just
Speaker 3: not willing to sacrifice my backup quarterback, especially backup quarterback
Speaker 3: that I know from experience that I can throw in
Speaker 3: there if I need to, and he can win me
Speaker 3: a few games while my quarterback is out. So if
Speaker 3: the Cowboys are still, if they still hope that they
Speaker 3: are they can get where they're trying to go, then
Speaker 3: I just I'm not willing to give up my backup
Speaker 3: quarterback just just like that.
Speaker 6: Yep, I agree. You do have a Bendanucci as a
Speaker 6: free agent.
Speaker 3: I don't. I really don't have Benuci. Yeah, go ahead
Speaker 3: and makes a great hat. But I'm sorry, I'm just
Speaker 3: I'm not. I'm good, all right, appreciate you.
Speaker 2: On the radio, we interviewed him yesterday, did you yeah,
Speaker 2: because we asked him question about his little comments about
Speaker 2: the tours.
