Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. Are you ready for
Speaker 1: a break for yours? Are you ready for a break?
Speaker 1: Absolutely ready for a break? Yeah, and so much for that.
Speaker 1: It's time for the break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: with Nick Eatman, David Hellman, and bar Garcia and Derek Eagleton. Hello, guys,
Speaker 1: Happy Friday. We are back with another show, the last
Speaker 1: show before we get to see what truly happens this
Speaker 1: weekend against the Detroit Lions. Davis for in the Lions
Speaker 1: colors today. Pretty ugly now, I'm just kidding. Why it's Friday.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about because it's the Lions all over Friday. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: you guys are looking pretty comfy today. Yeah, ok right, Well,
Speaker 1: let's start off with the guys that we're in the
Speaker 1: injury report as far as yesterday and today. One of
Speaker 1: the latest things that might turn into something a bigger
Speaker 1: deal or maybe not, we'll see, but wide receiver Terrence
Speaker 1: Williams was not at practice today. What could this possibly mean?
Speaker 1: Goofy stuff just continues to happen with this. It could
Speaker 1: mean that he's not gonna play this week and not
Speaker 1: give the team, you know, point six sketches a game
Speaker 1: or something like that that he's that he's providing him. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, we all know that there's there's been reports
Speaker 1: out there that the league I guess could come down
Speaker 1: with some kind of ruling on a possible suspension based
Speaker 1: off of what happened back in the summer. Um nothing
Speaker 1: has been told of that right now, but he's not
Speaker 1: a practice today and it could be mean anything. And
Speaker 1: they and then the team officials weren't very um I
Speaker 1: guess forthright and what was going on. They didn't know
Speaker 1: or didn't say, just didn't say anything, didn't say was hurt,
Speaker 1: Oh he's banged up or he's because believe me, they
Speaker 1: would if they were if it was something not to
Speaker 1: go down that road. So it maybe maybe they Usually
Speaker 1: when they don't say anything, that's when you know something.
Speaker 1: So he was not there. He could be an active
Speaker 1: this week, or it could be Bryce Butler. So if
Speaker 1: we're going to play the inactive game, I would think
Speaker 1: it'd be Terrence or him for whatever the reason. If
Speaker 1: something comes down though, then he guess wouldn't even be
Speaker 1: on the roster. So that's that. But I mean that's
Speaker 1: not something that affects the team because he hasn't been
Speaker 1: affecting the team really since And you guys went to practice,
Speaker 1: were Cole Beasley and Antoine would still limited or um?
Speaker 1: Colt Beasley was out there. The guys that just weren't
Speaker 1: there Shaun Lee and Travis Frederick. So Beasley was out there.
Speaker 1: Molik was there. He had a really big wrapper on
Speaker 1: his left knee, but he was doing some things. I
Speaker 1: would imagine he's going to be limited and questionable today.
Speaker 1: I would think so at the best. At the best, yeah,
Speaker 1: they could rule him out, you know, because Gregory did
Speaker 1: some things a couple week ago and then they still
Speaker 1: ruled him out. Right. Antwine Woods was out there doing stuff,
Speaker 1: so we'll see. Um, everybody was kind of doing something, um,
Speaker 1: other than Frederick and Lee. So okay, So let's go
Speaker 1: over the inactives. Travis Frederick, Shan Lee. There you go. Um,
Speaker 1: are we keeping Malik inactive or based on what you
Speaker 1: saw today, decided to give you. I think Malik or
Speaker 1: kron Red. Don't you think that's gonna say one of
Speaker 1: the two, One of the two. They do it. They
Speaker 1: did get a little bit a defensive tackle, so there
Speaker 1: you go, there's Mike White, Dalton Schultz five, and then
Speaker 1: Bryce or say Terence. You think that's going to continue
Speaker 1: to be the let's go back to the tight end.
Speaker 1: You think it's going to continue to be the case.
Speaker 1: I do Dalton short looking at looking at what they
Speaker 1: were doing in offense today, just just a one little drill.
Speaker 1: But so far that drill that I've been seeing on
Speaker 1: Friday of the tight end has been indicative of who's
Speaker 1: active and who isn't. Okay, so it stayed again today. Um,
Speaker 1: I think there. I think if let's just say Terrence,
Speaker 1: was something happened, if he was suspended, I don't think
Speaker 1: you sign anybody. I think you go with fifty two.
Speaker 1: Well wait, wait, is that a rule that you have
Speaker 1: to It's only a rule that on Monday it's you
Speaker 1: don't have to have fifty two to play a game. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, fifty three. There's a rule about like, there's
Speaker 1: some kind of rule about that, like on Monday, But
Speaker 1: I don't know if it would be game day and
Speaker 1: that'd be the league's fault come in here and do
Speaker 1: it on a Friday. Anyways, that that happened, that's mainly
Speaker 1: just about like paying a player though, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, Like there's but I'm drawn a blank. They
Speaker 1: did it last year where they were like, well, we
Speaker 1: need to have a full roster otherwise Showers. It seems
Speaker 1: like something with Jamie Showers was involved there. But all
Speaker 1: I'm saying is is that let's say that that happened.
Speaker 1: You don't have to bring up Lance Lenore just to
Speaker 1: make him inactive and pay him that kind of money
Speaker 1: for it. I wouldn't think. So I still think that
Speaker 1: receiver will be that spot. Yes, receiver Terrence or Bryce.
Speaker 1: That's about yes. That's all he leaves was six and
Speaker 1: then um Xavier Suaphilo. I would bet oh, yeah, so
Speaker 1: you piece of cake? Easy, piece of cake? Easy? We
Speaker 1: add him? I would guess that you easy because because
Speaker 1: of Lee. Yeah, that's good. We'll get to see him
Speaker 1: a little bit. Okay, So who should we expect to
Speaker 1: see more out of this weekend? And there's a lot
Speaker 1: of options out there, maybe a brise Jordan Lewis we
Speaker 1: talked about him the other day, Layton taking over now
Speaker 1: or having more playing time? Derek? Who I want to
Speaker 1: see more from? Who are you expecting to see more
Speaker 1: out of this weekend, I'll start if you want me to, well,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna change the question a little bit because I
Speaker 1: don't know who to expect it from after what I
Speaker 1: saw last week. I don't really know what to expect
Speaker 1: from this team right now, and that's not being I
Speaker 1: don't want to be seemed like that's being that's being overstated.
Speaker 1: I honestly don't know what I'm going to get from
Speaker 1: week to week right now with this team. But what
Speaker 1: I hope to see is I hope to see Xavier
Speaker 1: Woods play a really good game because I think he's
Speaker 1: going to be tested this week. This will be the best,
Speaker 1: in my opinion, the best passing offense that they will
Speaker 1: have faced this season. I think it's a really good
Speaker 1: passing offense, and I know they stretch the field, They're
Speaker 1: gonna go down field, They're gonna be some opportunities for
Speaker 1: the safeties to make some plays, and so I want
Speaker 1: to see if he can man that. I want to
Speaker 1: see if he can be that center fielder and be
Speaker 1: able to make some plays going up and getting against
Speaker 1: an offense that tries to really challenge you by stretching
Speaker 1: the field and has a lot of different receivers. That
Speaker 1: can get open in different situations. I want to see
Speaker 1: if he can really make himself and a real advantage
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys, because that's gonna tell us a lot
Speaker 1: about you know. Now we're going to start getting to
Speaker 1: see if he is the guy that because it might
Speaker 1: this might be the last chance you get to see
Speaker 1: for a while whether he's going to really be a
Speaker 1: great safety or at least is he on the way
Speaker 1: to being a good safety for this team. Because there
Speaker 1: are on a lot of teams you're gonna face in
Speaker 1: the next couple of weeks to have great passing games.
Speaker 1: This is definitely one of them. That's a good one.
Speaker 1: Joe Thomas, It's gonna still be my guy. This team
Speaker 1: still hasn't played a game, you know, without Shaun Lee.
Speaker 1: Um and and has and had a lot of success
Speaker 1: the last three years. Um this team is won and
Speaker 1: eight when Shaun Lee doesn't play in the game. So, um,
Speaker 1: that's my that's my guy. And and I firmly believe
Speaker 1: that that that's what they did in training camp because
Speaker 1: you can't you can't really protect a guy from injury.
Speaker 1: I mean you can, I guess, I mean, but but
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean when he comes back that he's not
Speaker 1: going to get hurt just like that, which he did.
Speaker 1: What they were doing was preparing for when he got hurt,
Speaker 1: and it's now the time is here. It's an interesting
Speaker 1: take on that. I just I think I'm kind of
Speaker 1: kind of it was and it's but I'm just saying
Speaker 1: I wasn't. I wouldn't really think that way. But but
Speaker 1: but in you know, in reality, that's kind of what
Speaker 1: they were doing. They're like, you know what and what
Speaker 1: happens if he does go down? We need to see
Speaker 1: if these guys are ready to play. Can we got
Speaker 1: a bunch without the guys too? We want to see
Speaker 1: if they have the get the reds to be able
Speaker 1: to play. Joe Thomas isn't the main guy that needs
Speaker 1: to step up. It's obvious and I don't want to
Speaker 1: steal if if one of your guys as a linebacker,
Speaker 1: but I mean he's he's a guy that needs to elevate.
Speaker 1: But clearly fifty five and fifty four are the two
Speaker 1: that we're looking at. Yeah, those guys need to play.
Speaker 1: Does this have to be defense? It could be anyone.
Speaker 1: I just I think, um, and I mean take a
Speaker 1: pick on the offense. Obviously, but Lyle Collins is just
Speaker 1: something that I'm thinking about because he's off to a
Speaker 1: slow start. There's no way around that. But I know
Speaker 1: the Lions are second in the league in sacks or no. Fourth,
Speaker 1: but they've got ten in three games, which is good.
Speaker 1: But like Ziggianza, seems doubtful and even if he plays,
Speaker 1: he'll probably not be one hundred percent. He needs to
Speaker 1: have a better game. They both do. Tyrannt end Lyle
Speaker 1: need to have a better game. And there's not that
Speaker 1: fearsome edge rusher like they had last week that you
Speaker 1: see so many weeks in the NFL. I think it's
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of linebacker blitzes. But I'd like
Speaker 1: to see the tackles play a better game than they
Speaker 1: have because both of them have been off to start
Speaker 1: the season. I wanted to talk about it Answa real quick.
Speaker 1: I forgot about it and I had it on my list. Um,
Speaker 1: he did not practice again, showed up on the report.
Speaker 1: Why are you laughing, I'm just messing with you, dang,
Speaker 1: Brian can trust his words for those Hey, Amber ever
Speaker 1: put together this great piece on answer, not really knowing
Speaker 1: that he wasn't gonna play he's gonna plays. He's going
Speaker 1: to play. Trust me, Trust me, kid, I know a thing. Hey,
Speaker 1: it's early, it's Friday. Like he's a pro bowler. Count
Speaker 1: him out if he gets out there today. That the
Speaker 1: whole thing flips. What do you two always say? It's
Speaker 1: the cow It's the Cowboys way to play this whole season.
Speaker 1: The Cowboys have been getting breaks this season, though it
Speaker 1: seems like like, uh, you know, Thomas Davis was out
Speaker 1: in Week one and their line was a mess, and
Speaker 1: the Seahawks line was a mess earlier. Is really benefiting
Speaker 1: this No not, it is not benefiting them at all.
Speaker 1: But they missed Vernon in Week two, like they've got
Speaker 1: benefited from that. Yeah, they have gotten some breaks, no
Speaker 1: doubt about it. But I didn't see any issues that
Speaker 1: the Lion that the Seattle's offensive line was like horrible. No,
Speaker 1: I mean they gave up three. I mean this this
Speaker 1: defense is good. I mean the Cowboys have a good defense.
Speaker 1: I mean something. I was wondering about this um and
Speaker 1: you guys may have seen a little closer um. It
Speaker 1: seemed to me, and this is not just the last game.
Speaker 1: It seemed to me this was the same case in
Speaker 1: the first game, and even in some degree in the
Speaker 1: Giants game, when they got pressure typically was when they
Speaker 1: were sending any extra guys. When it was just four rushing,
Speaker 1: it didn't seem like they were getting a lot of pressure.
Speaker 1: Did you guys notice that or have you noticed that
Speaker 1: any of the three games? Well? I didn't think Gregory
Speaker 1: played that well in the game obviously no Week three. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean obviously had the bad penalty, but even before
Speaker 1: that he was he was getting blocked pretty good one
Speaker 1: on one, So I was expecting a little more pressure
Speaker 1: out of him there. Um, yeah, you're right that the linebackers,
Speaker 1: when it was Sean Lee coming off the edge or
Speaker 1: Jalen Smith or those guys, that's that's where they need.
Speaker 1: And it's not a good sign. Even on some of
Speaker 1: the sacks where the front the defense, the four defensive linemen,
Speaker 1: we get the sacks. It was on the plays where
Speaker 1: we have an extra guy coming. You set next to
Speaker 1: me in the game, and you know, I was upset
Speaker 1: a couple of times about a certain play, which time
Speaker 1: we're talking about here upset upset, but this moment when
Speaker 1: you were not happy. It's like if you have the
Speaker 1: best pass rusher on the team, and he's one of
Speaker 1: the best in the league at rushing the passer. Then
Speaker 1: let him do what his job and you figure out
Speaker 1: the other things. And I thought, putting DeMarcus Lawrence inside
Speaker 1: and put Taco on the outside, you're watering down what
Speaker 1: what this guy does the best. This whole mindset. We
Speaker 1: get our best pass rushers on the field. That's cool,
Speaker 1: But get the best guy doing what he's awesome at.
Speaker 1: But because the touchdown that they gave it, he doesn't
Speaker 1: do anything. He gets it. I look at that and
Speaker 1: I say the best pass Well, I shouldn't say the
Speaker 1: best pass. A lot of the really good pass rushers
Speaker 1: in the league today, they move around, they can play
Speaker 1: a lot of different positions on the line, and so
Speaker 1: you really are looking for the best matchup for that player. So,
Speaker 1: for example, in that instance, if they thought, hey, we
Speaker 1: think that putting DeMarcus against a guard is a better
Speaker 1: matchup than putting DeMarcus against it an end. So we'll
Speaker 1: put Taco on the end. I mean, then a tackle,
Speaker 1: we'll put Taco on the end. We'll let him have
Speaker 1: this advantage in on this one particular play where he's
Speaker 1: going up against the guard, and we think it's a
Speaker 1: better situation that was the result of that play. I
Speaker 1: get it. I'm just saying that I don't think it's
Speaker 1: just I don't think you can just assume and that
Speaker 1: DeMarcus can't play, and I don't really I agree with you, though.
Speaker 1: I don't agree with you that these great pass rushers
Speaker 1: going and yes they can move around, but I bet
Speaker 1: they don't do their damage up there in the front.
Speaker 1: I saw it happened last night with Sue. Sue got
Speaker 1: a sack when he was playing defensive end. He's a
Speaker 1: better defensive tackle, right, but they put him at defensive
Speaker 1: end on a play he went around the guy he
Speaker 1: got a sack. I mean, I don't think it's I
Speaker 1: think in today's NFL there are a lot of really
Speaker 1: good pass rushers that were around to see. I need
Speaker 1: to see de Mark Florence get a sack from the inside.
Speaker 1: I need to see that. Or I just don't think
Speaker 1: it's it's it's what they need to be doing with him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, but that's that's my thing. I mean, can
Speaker 1: Tacko not play that? Can these other guys not not mix?
Speaker 1: Don't mess mess around with the best thing you've got.
Speaker 1: That's my my thought, we'll see if he can get
Speaker 1: there and beat the guard and center inside. And you know,
Speaker 1: I know JPP kind of did that a little bit
Speaker 1: with the Johnson. I never thought he was really that
Speaker 1: good doing it from the inside. We had to account
Speaker 1: for him, but we'll stonewall him if we should have
Speaker 1: known that this was going to happen. I mean during
Speaker 1: training camp, he was moving up and down the line,
Speaker 1: and I think that was an indication that they had
Speaker 1: at least some he did against everybody except for except
Speaker 1: for Zack. Yeah, and that's nobody's gonna be zac. Many
Speaker 1: astrid were like I dismiss everything that happened with Travis
Speaker 1: Frederick during training campus year. Antoine Woods might have a
Speaker 1: job because of that. I know, yeah now, and that
Speaker 1: might be a flawed rush now that we figure out
Speaker 1: by the end of the season. Who knows. I have
Speaker 1: a small quibble just because and they did Blitzeli a lot,
Speaker 1: but I thought the front four got good pressure in
Speaker 1: that game when there wasn't an extra got come. DeMarcus
Speaker 1: Lawrence was like single handedly wrecking double teams that whole game.
Speaker 1: Like he just was swatting tight ends and tackles out
Speaker 1: of the way, Yeah, I think so. And the thing
Speaker 1: with the Seahawks is, I mean their line definitely played better,
Speaker 1: but like again, it's all about the release time. Like
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson just wasn't holding the ball. I don't think
Speaker 1: there's a pass rush in the league that can get
Speaker 1: to you when you're throwing it in two seconds or less.
Speaker 1: So and that's I think Stafford's gonna be similar. So
Speaker 1: this is gonna be another challenge which regardless of what's working,
Speaker 1: even if the front four was working, you're probably gonna
Speaker 1: need to send extra guys to get the job done here.
Speaker 1: And the best thing about this week is we really
Speaker 1: get to now see what these cornerbacks are like. And
Speaker 1: I talked about Xavier Woods, but even more important, we
Speaker 1: get to see these cornerbacks now. Because so far we've
Speaker 1: loved we saw during training camp, they haven't really been
Speaker 1: tested yet this regular season. They're gonna get tested this weekend.
Speaker 1: We're gonna find out a lot about these cornerbacks. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I'm really, really, really a little bit worried about
Speaker 1: what's going to happen in the slot, just because I
Speaker 1: don't I think Anthony Brown obviously is the weakest of
Speaker 1: those guys, and I'm a little bit concerned about them
Speaker 1: exploiting him. There. You know who else is gonna get tested?
Speaker 1: You guys when we come back from the break, we
Speaker 1: are playing a game. C No. Hey, hey, if you're
Speaker 1: like me and you love I mean, if you have
Speaker 1: a part thing, then cutting the court is scary. But

Speaker 1: Oh okay, do you have a bat a pass pass
Speaker 1: for for the game? Okay? And you have a seat
Speaker 1: and you don't have to like get in the doors
Speaker 1: and run and sprint to get But I have to
Speaker 1: get there earlier than the average fan. Okay, but these
Speaker 1: guys to get there, you're gonna have to to hustle.
Speaker 1: All right, Let's move on from this argument because I
Speaker 1: don't want to get into religion right now. Okay, let's
Speaker 1: fine to say about that. I'm actually gonna invite all
Speaker 1: of you guys. Let's all go to I'm gonna hit
Speaker 1: the old snooze button. If that's okay, Sorry, I'll come.
Speaker 1: I pick you up for this game and we'll dowards.
Speaker 1: That's how I'll always get people to come to church
Speaker 1: with me. I'm like, how about to go to dinner after? Okay?
Speaker 1: Welling me treat? All right, you're you choose the restaurant.
Speaker 1: All right, I'll think about it. I'll think about it
Speaker 1: as damn all right, it's gonna be like that. Hey,
Speaker 1: if it's pain, I'll go to church for a month
Speaker 1: if we get to get all right, I didn't say that.
Speaker 1: All right, all right, guys, let's get into the game
Speaker 1: ce or No, which we have employed in a long time.
Speaker 1: Fans said send in the can't even speak right sent
Speaker 1: in their questions to me. So are you guys ready?
Speaker 1: Here we go? Should we just switch to a college offense?
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I sit and laughing like that's funny. Okay,
Speaker 1: but we're not hitting the panic buttons. Hey, that was
Speaker 1: Jerry who said that I'm sure. I'm sure y'all can relate.
Speaker 1: But like I just got inundated in tweets about the
Speaker 1: Rams last night. Oh yeah, well I started some of
Speaker 1: that and I was just kind of like I was
Speaker 1: saying it kind of in a flip way, and I
Speaker 1: was just like, man, did you see how many ways
Speaker 1: they found a way to get Girly the ball? You know?
Speaker 1: And it was because they did that first series, like
Speaker 1: he was running reverses like he was. He was in
Speaker 1: the backfieldy running the mill run outside, he ran a
Speaker 1: flare route, he ran a wheel route like he was
Speaker 1: just doing all kinds of stuff. They lined him up
Speaker 1: outside and I was just saying it as a man,
Speaker 1: that was really cool. But fans will like Manet, you know,
Speaker 1: you can't get those guys by going eight and eight.
Speaker 1: You just can't. The only reason the Cowboys have one
Speaker 1: of the best players ever because Tony Romo got hurt
Speaker 1: and the team wasn't good and they drafted fourth and
Speaker 1: they got Zeke. But you just can't get a top
Speaker 1: quarterback doing it like that. You're gonna have to you
Speaker 1: have to make a lot of trades and all that
Speaker 1: stuff to move up. Well, yeah, but I'm just saying
Speaker 1: that that quarterback is really good. We didn't know if
Speaker 1: he would be, but he really is good. Yeah. But
Speaker 1: I mean we talked about it before the show. I mean,
Speaker 1: the Rams traded a lot to get up to get him.
Speaker 1: The Eagles traded a lot to get up to get wins.
Speaker 1: I mean, there is a way to do it, even
Speaker 1: if you're at fifteen, sixteen, seventeen. You just gotta be
Speaker 1: willing to mortgage a lot and you got to give
Speaker 1: up a lot of picks if you're gonna be willing
Speaker 1: to go and get the do or Die year to
Speaker 1: find out if Dak is the guy right now, he's
Speaker 1: he's not looking like it at all. So but you know,
Speaker 1: you can't switch it to a college offense right now.
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, to answer the question more directly, it's
Speaker 1: very we'll see. I mean which college offense. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, like you know those college offenses with a
Speaker 1: mobile quarterback that runs the ball a lot. I mean
Speaker 1: maybe so, because that's really the only way you're going
Speaker 1: to do it with Dak right now is to get
Speaker 1: him kind of on the move a little bit. So yes,
Speaker 1: I'll say this, there are college offenses that that have
Speaker 1: quarterbacks like that that are a lot more mobile than
Speaker 1: they are passers, and they are successful. So I think
Speaker 1: you can take some college concepts and use them here
Speaker 1: so that you know what, it's not that bad of
Speaker 1: a question at all. And let me throw this out too.
Speaker 1: I think, um, and we've talked a lot about these
Speaker 1: guys on this show. You look at RG three, you
Speaker 1: look at Um, vinch Young, Um, and I guess you
Speaker 1: can look at Dak's first year. It doesn't seem to
Speaker 1: me to be a coincidence that those guys had success
Speaker 1: early and in each of those instances, in my opinion,
Speaker 1: maybe a little less the Cowboys, but certainly with with
Speaker 1: Vince Young and RG three. They were running an offense
Speaker 1: where they were taking advantage of what they did well
Speaker 1: at the time, which was they were allowing them to
Speaker 1: run the ball a lot more and be a lot
Speaker 1: more in the offense in every way. And then what
Speaker 1: ended up happening is as they started getting older in
Speaker 1: the league, their teams wanted them to throw more. Which
Speaker 1: I get why you say, Okay, you just can't sustain
Speaker 1: a career running the ball all the time. That's the argument, right,
Speaker 1: But I think that's also the undoing of a lot
Speaker 1: of those guys, and so I do wonder if maybe
Speaker 1: they should go with the idea that let's just keep
Speaker 1: doing what this quarterback does well. Don't force him to
Speaker 1: do what he doesn't do well. Keep doing what he
Speaker 1: does well, and maybe you can continue his success. Lenahan
Speaker 1: said this week that there's gonna be more wrinkles on offense,
Speaker 1: like it's gonna look and keep hinting that it's gonna
Speaker 1: look different. I gotta see it to believe it. Did
Speaker 1: he say that last week? He said no, not like
Speaker 1: he said it this week, which I gotta see it
Speaker 1: to believe it. It's not like I don't have a
Speaker 1: problem with the question at all, and I would love
Speaker 1: to see some of that stuff incorporate here. I just
Speaker 1: gotta see it to believe it. Flee like, let's do it.
Speaker 1: Smith is finally playing at the level we hope for see.
Speaker 1: I mean, he can be better, he can, and he
Speaker 1: needs to be. But like he's playing at that level.
Speaker 1: He's he's playing, he's playing the snap counts that he
Speaker 1: played last year when he struggled, and he's not struggling.
Speaker 1: So that's a step in the right direction. And here's
Speaker 1: another opportunity for him to step up this week and
Speaker 1: be not just a good player, but be able to
Speaker 1: bring everybody along with him, because that's what they miss
Speaker 1: when you talk about that stat earlier than one and
Speaker 1: eight without Sean Lee, what they miss as a defense
Speaker 1: a lot of times is his ability to lead that defense.
Speaker 1: And so I wonder if if maybe it's not Jalen,
Speaker 1: maybe Jayalen's not the guy that steps up to be
Speaker 1: the leader. Oh, I don't know. I'm glad you said that.
Speaker 1: Did you see what he said yesterday? And this is
Speaker 1: bad radio because I gotta go back and find it.
Speaker 1: But he had a quote, Yeah, uh, this is like
Speaker 1: I mean when you talk about how the Cowboys are
Speaker 1: encouraged that he can be a cornerstone player. So you know,
Speaker 1: Jalen's gonna start at Michael vander esh is gonna start
Speaker 1: at Will. So Jalen yesterday talking about he says, I've
Speaker 1: learned so much from Sean and he's still the leader
Speaker 1: of the defense. But the moment he's gone not able
Speaker 1: to play, or whenever he decides to retire, it's gonna
Speaker 1: be my defense. And I'm ready for it. Like I
Speaker 1: like that a lot. I love it, and you know,
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, that's not something that was
Speaker 1: a throw. That's not something that that you didn't really
Speaker 1: even that you know you wouldn't because he is he's
Speaker 1: that kind of person. You can see that kind of
Speaker 1: leadership quality in him. Right, it's still cool to hear it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: no doubt. He does not lack for confidence, and you
Speaker 1: wouldn't expect him to say something like that. Really. No, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's I mean he said that. I mean, he's not
Speaker 1: a great quote justin. I mean, you know he's he's
Speaker 1: a media savvy guy. He came from Notre Dame. He's
Speaker 1: not He's not the guy that's gonna be dumb. No,
Speaker 1: he's definitely not dumb. But the smartest players usually say
Speaker 1: the dumbest stuff in terms of they know how to
Speaker 1: not make headline. Yeah, but that's a good quote. Very
Speaker 1: good Cowboys defense will get more turnovers than sacks this weekend.
Speaker 1: No see, yes see. I don't think you're gonna I
Speaker 1: don't think you're gonna sack Stafford. He's taken three sacks
Speaker 1: all season. He gets the ball out fast. Not getting
Speaker 1: a ton of turnovers though the Cowboys, Well, I mean
Speaker 1: it can change when you play a guy that wants
Speaker 1: to give you the ball. He's got five picks, three sacks,
Speaker 1: four sacks to re takeaways. Yeah, it's gonna be a
Speaker 1: pick party. Okay, okay, all right, I'm good. I'm not
Speaker 1: against that. I just I'm looking at the history right now,
Speaker 1: and the history says that they're way more prone to
Speaker 1: get sacks than they are to get to get picks.
Speaker 1: But we'll see, we'll see, all right. Jordan Lewis was
Speaker 1: a wasted draft pick. That's harsh. No, Well, as soon
Speaker 1: to say that, it's here's that it sucks because they
Speaker 1: drafted him with a whole different system in mind. Basically,
Speaker 1: I mean like Chris Rashard came in and is doing
Speaker 1: his thing now, like this is basically his defense, and
Speaker 1: it's gonna be even more his defense if you know,
Speaker 1: if he if that happens in the future. Um, but
Speaker 1: he wasn't drafted to fit that system. So it sucks.
Speaker 1: But so I mean, yeah, I guess technically it is
Speaker 1: a wasted pick because he doesn't fit. It's not no,
Speaker 1: it's playing it's not good. I mean that is it
Speaker 1: too early to say that? I mean you still a
Speaker 1: second year and they didn't expect to be as good.
Speaker 1: But this is on him too because because yes, the
Speaker 1: outside guys, they like them big, strong, long guys. But
Speaker 1: he could play in the slot. I mean, Henny, it
Speaker 1: means that in a skill set, why wouldn't it be
Speaker 1: cover the guy be quick? You know you don't have
Speaker 1: you you got little guys in there, and you can
Speaker 1: you have to stay with him, like that's the skills
Speaker 1: of But not every corner can playing a slot well.
Speaker 1: Like I mean, that's just I think that's that's a
Speaker 1: skill that some corners have, not all corners do well.
Speaker 1: If you're if you're going to be an undersized corner
Speaker 1: in the league when you need to be able to,
Speaker 1: I feel like you kind of do. And and Anthony
Speaker 1: Brown isn't about to play defensive tackle. I mean he's
Speaker 1: not the biggest guy in the world. I mean, he's
Speaker 1: beating him out right now. Um. That's I will say this,
Speaker 1: and that's I have I have asked around about this
Speaker 1: in a few different places, and you know, they I
Speaker 1: hear that they like Jordan Lewis, but playing one snap
Speaker 1: in three games does not indicate that they like him.
Speaker 1: Not in the past, happy modern enough I'm getting on
Speaker 1: the phone there. Um, they might like it. They might
Speaker 1: like him in certain That's that's goes back to my point.
Speaker 1: They may like him on the outside, they may like
Speaker 1: him there, but right now they're like the two guys
Speaker 1: we got on the outside we love. Maybe we like him,
Speaker 1: but we love the two guys we got on the outside.
Speaker 1: I have a hard time pounding the table about it
Speaker 1: because we did see him. He got his opportunities in camp,
Speaker 1: and he didn't look awesome like he did not have
Speaker 1: a good preseason against you know, these all receivers, right,
Speaker 1: and so you know, if he had been just locked
Speaker 1: down nobody's messing with him, then I would really want
Speaker 1: to get to the bottom of this. But it might
Speaker 1: be as simple as I mean, he clearly doesn't fit
Speaker 1: what Christo Shard wants to do, But also might be
Speaker 1: as simple as he's not as good as the other three,
Speaker 1: at least not right now, or maybe his confidence was
Speaker 1: affected by it. I mean, when you make that kind
Speaker 1: of change and stuff, I'm sure it affects you somehow,
Speaker 1: And yes, I understand you have to step it up anyways,
Speaker 1: but I don't know there's no way around it. It's
Speaker 1: weird that a guy who was good enough to start
Speaker 1: seven games as a rookie now has played one snap
Speaker 1: and it was only due to injury. It's weird. And
Speaker 1: he's not a special teams pier. He can't contribute on
Speaker 1: special teams at all, which is that's really bad. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was weird to me, was that a cornerback isn't
Speaker 1: contributing at all on special team He won't. He won't
Speaker 1: be in this situation for long. And I don't know this,
Speaker 1: No one said anything to me about that. I'm just saying,
Speaker 1: a backup cornerback who does not play special teams, you
Speaker 1: can't do that forever. He's either going to be inactive,
Speaker 1: they'll pull someone else up, they'll trade him the something.
Speaker 1: You just continue to do that. Yeah, it's very weird
Speaker 1: to see on a forty six man roster or like,
Speaker 1: unless you're the backup quarterback, it's very weird to see
Speaker 1: somebody not you know, they on the game book every
Speaker 1: week it says did not participate. It's weird to see
Speaker 1: anybody but the backup quarterback listed there. Maybe maybe an
Speaker 1: offensive limon maybe if they didn't play special teams, but
Speaker 1: that's it. When I saw that I actually ask our
Speaker 1: pr guys like, is this a mistake? He was like, Nope, No,
Speaker 1: I don't think so. Nope. Wow, and and and Cavon's
Speaker 1: over here with you know, seventeen injuries and trying to
Speaker 1: limp through playing safety and also playing special teams. Sure
Speaker 1: would be nice to get some you know, relief there.
Speaker 1: But if they can't do it right now, all right,
Speaker 1: let's take our final break and when we come back,
Speaker 1: we'll finish up this game and move onto game day predictions.
Speaker 1: While a player can look good on paper, it's when
Speaker 1: he's out on the field that you really find find

Speaker 1: on more than staffs and scouting reports when building their team.
Speaker 1: When picking a tractor, it's why you should rely on
Speaker 1: more than specs and features as well. You gotta take

Speaker 1: Cowboys on it some of material. Yeah, it's great material.
Speaker 1: Maybe I should just read the script. Thank you, Dave.
Speaker 1: All right, would you want and this is what you
Speaker 1: would want? Not what the Cowboys would do? But would
Speaker 1: you want the Cowboys to draft a quarterback in the
Speaker 1: first round? What are you doing here? Why do we
Speaker 1: have to do this on September twenty seven? This is
Speaker 1: what the fans want to hear, I think. And it's
Speaker 1: a valid question, it really like, based on the way
Speaker 1: the season has started, it's a completely valid question. I
Speaker 1: don't remember too soon, but I don't remember if it
Speaker 1: was the show that you might not have been here,
Speaker 1: but we talked about it, like, I don't have to
Speaker 1: have an answer to that question in weekly here, And
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not trying to cop out when I
Speaker 1: say that because I have no problem saying the Cowboys
Speaker 1: need to get a new quarterback. If we go through
Speaker 1: this season and Dak continue used to look like this,
Speaker 1: but it's week four. We have seen him play well.
Speaker 1: It not recently, he's been very bad. That's it. It's
Speaker 1: almost a relief this season because I think back to
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen, You're like, Romo's out, what are we gonna do? Like,
Speaker 1: we gotta trade for Castle, we gotta like we gotta
Speaker 1: tread water. Uh. If Dak keeps playing like this, that
Speaker 1: that's it. Like I'm not trying to salvage the season.
Speaker 1: If this is what it looks like for sixteen games,
Speaker 1: you're talking probably blow it up, in my opinion. So
Speaker 1: this is a you got thirteen games to audition. This
Speaker 1: guy left and hopefully he rises to the challenge. Maybe not,
Speaker 1: And it'll definitely be time to talk about that if
Speaker 1: this keeps up for three more months, thirteen games to go.
Speaker 1: If thirteen stakes Also, if you want y'all think I'm
Speaker 1: I mean, y'all agree with me? Yeah, I definitely agree
Speaker 1: with you. I mean, I understand that's what the fans
Speaker 1: one they watch, you know, cousins and uh and uh
Speaker 1: and golf just go back and forth like that and
Speaker 1: they think, you know, wow, it would be nice to
Speaker 1: have an offense like that. But um, if it continues
Speaker 1: this trend, yeah, I think I think you're gonna do that.
Speaker 1: If it continues this trend, it's also going to be
Speaker 1: about five and eleven or six and ten. So you're
Speaker 1: picking at a spot where where you would definitely do that,
Speaker 1: and you're picking for a coach in an offensive coordinator
Speaker 1: that's not here yet. That's fact. Bason Garrett would telling
Speaker 1: you that probably, well, I'm not gonna go he takes
Speaker 1: a data. Oh, we don't think about that. But I'm
Speaker 1: just saying, um, if what we see right now continues
Speaker 1: to play out exactly, yeah, But I'll say the flip
Speaker 1: side of that, if we see better than that, if
Speaker 1: we see him actually get into a groove, which last year,
Speaker 1: let's be honest, this this offense has some struggles last
Speaker 1: year at certain points, and it was about maybe week
Speaker 1: five four somewhere in there with offense actually got on
Speaker 1: a little bit of a streak there and started playing
Speaker 1: pretty decent, right, I mean, was that the Rams game.
Speaker 1: I honestly believe Derek the first five or six weeks
Speaker 1: of the season, they had twenty eight points in every game. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and that carried over I think for the and Denver
Speaker 1: was the game that was the anomaly today. So I guess,
Speaker 1: I guess, I guess my point. I guess my point
Speaker 1: is that we've seen just last year there were some
Speaker 1: moments that Dad had that I thought were pretty good.
Speaker 1: So if Dad can get back to that and kind
Speaker 1: of write this ship, because I don't want to write
Speaker 1: him off yet, And that's the reason why I would
Speaker 1: answer that question no right now, because I've seen I've
Speaker 1: kind of seen these two different times. I've seen I've
Speaker 1: seen a pretty good quarterback. I've seen a really bad quarterback.
Speaker 1: So I don't know what to think. It goes back
Speaker 1: to my original point earlier. I don't know what to
Speaker 1: think right now about this team. If he can write
Speaker 1: the ship, then no, I'm not looking for a quarterback
Speaker 1: next year. If he doesn't and he continues to play
Speaker 1: as he's played these first three games, then absolutely I'm
Speaker 1: looking which is why it's borderline irresponsible slash stupid to
Speaker 1: try to well not No, we can absolutely talk about it.
Speaker 1: I mean that's we're Yeah, it's a it's a relevant topic,
Speaker 1: but like to try to make up your mind in
Speaker 1: week before we've even played Week four. That's dumb and
Speaker 1: that and that's why, you know, even if Dak keeps
Speaker 1: playing this poorly into November, I'm not I'm not even
Speaker 1: interested in benching him. I want to see Cooper rush
Speaker 1: for like that. That ain't the answer either, no offense
Speaker 1: to Cooper rush. But I want to make sure, beyond
Speaker 1: the shadow of a doubt, that Dak is or isn't
Speaker 1: the guy, so that I know what I need to
Speaker 1: do in the spring. I want to come out of
Speaker 1: this season knowing definitively one way or the other what
Speaker 1: I think. I'm gonna play this thing out. Keep harping
Speaker 1: on this, but if he is not this great quarterback,
Speaker 1: if there's a doubt at all, that means the team
Speaker 1: didn't do that well, and the team didn't do that well,
Speaker 1: then the guy's making the decision or not here yet.
Speaker 1: So it all you know, you're gonna have a different
Speaker 1: type of offense and a different coach and a different philosophy.
Speaker 1: Maybe he really does fit into that, maybe he doesn't
Speaker 1: fit in it at all. So I think there's another
Speaker 1: step to this that we're forgetting, and I will throw
Speaker 1: this into like we're talking really definitively. There are shades
Speaker 1: of gray here. There's a real possibility you get to
Speaker 1: the end of this season and you're like, I still
Speaker 1: don't really know, because there was some weeks, some stret
Speaker 1: straight streaks of weeks where he looked really good, and
Speaker 1: then it was like there were other weeks when he
Speaker 1: looked really bad. So you may come out of this
Speaker 1: year and still not have a definitive answer on whether
Speaker 1: you think he can really play and he should be
Speaker 1: out the future, and it leaves to you at that point.
Speaker 1: If let's say we were at that point right there
Speaker 1: and you're still kind of okay, we've seen good moments
Speaker 1: from him, but we've also seen bad moments. At that point,
Speaker 1: where are you at him? Are you willing to kind
Speaker 1: of keep it going and maybe give him another year
Speaker 1: see how he goes or how many every because I've
Speaker 1: seen I've seen, I've seen how Lena gets. When I'll
Speaker 1: put it to you like this, if he's up and
Speaker 1: down and the Cowboys managed too, you know, I don't
Speaker 1: know if the Cowboys managed to get meaningful number of wins.
Speaker 1: And when I say meaningful, I mean nine plus and
Speaker 1: he's up and down. Then I think you have to
Speaker 1: start thinking is it enough if you surround him with
Speaker 1: the right pieces and continue to develop, is it enough?
Speaker 1: Because what you don't want to do is you don't
Speaker 1: want to go back having no quarterback that you've been
Speaker 1: there before. Yeah, you want to go back to having
Speaker 1: no quarterback. So you have to kind of evaluate for
Speaker 1: what I have. Do I think if I give it
Speaker 1: a little bit more support, it can get me there?
Speaker 1: Or is this just so bad that I have to
Speaker 1: start Just remember, I mean, the Browns drafted the quarterback
Speaker 1: number one overall and didn't expect to play him right
Speaker 1: away and didn't play him right away. The Chiefs draft
Speaker 1: to the guy eleventh overall that might be where the
Speaker 1: Cowboys will be around, and they didn't even play him
Speaker 1: at all his first year. So just because it's like, man,
Speaker 1: DA's pretty I mean, because but they knew Kansas City
Speaker 1: Alex Smith wasn't gonna be their guy forever, but he
Speaker 1: was pretty good right now. That might be the situation.
Speaker 1: So because Dad still does have another year after this
Speaker 1: year on his contract right now, that's just never been
Speaker 1: Jerry's style. That doesn't mean you can't change it. But
Speaker 1: Jerry's always been at the point of like he wants
Speaker 1: that first round pick to play, and it's just never
Speaker 1: been a situation where you're like, you draft a quarterback
Speaker 1: like that and kind of wait and then when it's time,
Speaker 1: it's time. So we'll just draft him in the second
Speaker 1: thing because they have no problem with that wait on
Speaker 1: him all right. Last question, Should the Cowboys sign wide
Speaker 1: receiver Richard Matthews from the Titans? He is more of
Speaker 1: what they already have him. Yeh, that's this isn't about
Speaker 1: the receivers. These receivers can get open to make plays.
Speaker 1: If they had a guy, they could do it, you know,
Speaker 1: you know, get him the football and all that. I
Speaker 1: don't really think another guy, I mean, I don't even
Speaker 1: think we said. I don't think Calvin Ridley drafted him
Speaker 1: helps you that much. There's probably like Michael Thomas and
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown, like if you can get them here, Okay,
Speaker 1: but I don't sure. No, I know what I'm saying
Speaker 1: is no, no, he's not. No disrespect to him. I
Speaker 1: don't think he's the caliber of receiver that's going to
Speaker 1: drastically change. Yeah, he is that right in there in
Speaker 1: that middle tier of receivers that and given the right situation,
Speaker 1: can have a big game for you, a nice game
Speaker 1: for you, right. I mean that's what he is, and
Speaker 1: so I don't think he's He doesn't drastically change what
Speaker 1: your wide receiver position looks like. I agree. Okay, game
Speaker 1: day predictions. I think the Cups will win. I think
Speaker 1: they win thirty to twenty one. They're gonna score that.
Speaker 1: This is gonna be the most scoring that we've seen
Speaker 1: out of them. They will get a defensive touchdown, so
Speaker 1: that's gonna be some of that, but they'll have a
Speaker 1: lot more offense that will play better. Zeke's gonna play
Speaker 1: really well. They'll get around, They're gonna get some turnovers.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be one of those games I expect. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I've just seen it noon games at home.
Speaker 1: I think I said it last year with the Rams.
Speaker 1: But this is the type of game that they win.
Speaker 1: And remember the Lions of the Lions. There always will
Speaker 1: going to be the Lions. So yeah, great win beat
Speaker 1: the Patriots. That's awesome. Matt Patricia, he won his little
Speaker 1: super Bowl. He get it. But they're gonna be the
Speaker 1: Lions used to say that about the Eagles, too. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: never know, you never know. Yeah, prove me wrong, win
Speaker 1: a super Bowl. Stafford still doesn't have a winning record.
Speaker 1: He's he's Stafford's great arm, golden boy, blah blah blah. Heal,
Speaker 1: He'll throw it to you. Okay, Dave, I saw it. Well.
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna win, which like it's it's funny,
Speaker 1: it really is. Like it's a gut feeling. Like I
Speaker 1: had a feeling all last week they were gonna lose
Speaker 1: to Seattle just from the very gate. I was like,
Speaker 1: but even as bad as they looked on Sunday, I
Speaker 1: have a good feeling about this game. So the worst
Speaker 1: rushing defense in the league, don't overthink this. Ezekiel Elliott
Speaker 1: should have a good day. Matt Stafford's gonna find a
Speaker 1: way to give you the ball. And I also think
Speaker 1: the Lions will have yards. I think they don't score
Speaker 1: that many points. For how impressive their offense look, they
Speaker 1: only score twenty four points a game. I think you
Speaker 1: can force them to settle for a couple of field goals,
Speaker 1: get a takeaway. Think the Cowboys win like twenty seven
Speaker 1: to twenty three. I don't think that they're gonna look amazing,
Speaker 1: Like I still think the offense is gonna look kind
Speaker 1: of well. But run the ball. You can win at home,
Speaker 1: all right. I actually I'm so torn on this team,
Speaker 1: but I actually think they win, mainly because what I
Speaker 1: keep going back to is under Garrett, this is the
Speaker 1: kind of stuff they do a lot where they have
Speaker 1: one week it's good, and then they lose, and then
Speaker 1: they win, and then they lose, and so they did
Speaker 1: just enough to keep you on the right and then
Speaker 1: you get to the end of the season. It's always
Speaker 1: kind of right there. It's rare that this team under
Speaker 1: Garrett is not playing for something with two weeks left
Speaker 1: or one week left. Right this is there. This is
Speaker 1: the twelfth time a Garrett team has been one game
Speaker 1: below five hundred. He's nine and two in those eleven games.
Speaker 1: So I kind of have a feeling with them being
Speaker 1: at home, and I think that I would I would
Speaker 1: feel a lot different if the Lions were and three.
Speaker 1: I really would. I think them beating the Patriots last week,
Speaker 1: which anytime a team in the NFL beats the Patriots,
Speaker 1: they feel really good about themselves. I think the Cowboys
Speaker 1: losing last week. The way that they played, I think
Speaker 1: forces them to reevaluate some things, and so when you
Speaker 1: start comparing all those things, I think this is a
Speaker 1: week where the Cowboys get it. I don't know that
Speaker 1: it's necessarily gonna look a lot better, but I do
Speaker 1: think somehow the Cowboys find a way to win. I
Speaker 1: don't think it's going to be a high scoring game.
Speaker 1: I don't think the Cowboys score ton more points than
Speaker 1: they normally than they normally have this season. I think
Speaker 1: at the end of the day is still twenty one
Speaker 1: seventeen victory. But I just think that's I think that's
Speaker 1: probably gonna be the story of this season, is that
Speaker 1: there's gonna be these kind of win loss, win, loss, win, lost,
Speaker 1: back and forth. I don't I haven't seen anything yet
Speaker 1: that suggests to me that I can figure out how
Speaker 1: they're gonna be able to sustain those wins with the
Speaker 1: schedule that they have and with the way that they're
Speaker 1: playing offensively. All right, calling the dub Garcia, I think
Speaker 1: they win, and just for the same exact reason that
Speaker 1: Derek said. They just to me they're gonna do just
Speaker 1: enough to keep you there and keep you wondering Okay,
Speaker 1: can we actually make it or not? We'll see, but
Speaker 1: I think they get this w if A twenty four
Speaker 1: seventeen instead. Yeah, alright, alrighty For Derek Ingleton, Nickiman, David
