Yeah, and so much for that. 0:00:15.560 --> 0:00:19.680 It's time for the break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:21.480 --> 0:00:28.600 with Nick Eatman, David Hellman, and bar Garcia and Derek Eagleton. Hello, guys, 0:00:28.640 --> 0:00:32.960 Happy Friday. We are back with another show, the last 0:00:32.960 --> 0:00:35.880 show before we get to see what truly happens this 0:00:35.920 --> 0:00:39.440 weekend against the Detroit Lions. Davis for in the Lions 0:00:39.560 --> 0:00:45.320 colors today. Pretty ugly now, I'm just kidding. Why it's Friday. 0:00:45.440 --> 0:00:51.720 I'm talking about because it's the Lions all over Friday. Okay, yeah, 0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:58.280 you guys are looking pretty comfy today. Yeah, ok right, Well, 0:00:58.360 --> 0:01:00.640 let's start off with the guys that we're in the 0:01:00.760 --> 0:01:04.360 injury report as far as yesterday and today. One of 0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:08.480 the latest things that might turn into something a bigger 0:01:08.520 --> 0:01:12.520 deal or maybe not, we'll see, but wide receiver Terrence 0:01:12.560 --> 0:01:17.720 Williams was not at practice today. What could this possibly mean? 0:01:20.480 --> 0:01:23.880 Goofy stuff just continues to happen with this. It could 0:01:23.959 --> 0:01:26.520 mean that he's not gonna play this week and not 0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:29.720 give the team, you know, point six sketches a game 0:01:29.840 --> 0:01:33.559 or something like that that he's that he's providing him. Um, 0:01:33.600 --> 0:01:35.680 you know, we all know that there's there's been reports 0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:38.399 out there that the league I guess could come down 0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:42.199 with some kind of ruling on a possible suspension based 0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:45.080 off of what happened back in the summer. Um nothing 0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:47.520 has been told of that right now, but he's not 0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:49.120 a practice today and it could be mean anything. And 0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:53.520 they and then the team officials weren't very um I 0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:55.920 guess forthright and what was going on. They didn't know 0:01:56.000 --> 0:02:00.360 or didn't say, just didn't say anything, didn't say was hurt, 0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:02.400 Oh he's banged up or he's because believe me, they 0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:04.920 would if they were if it was something not to 0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:07.880 go down that road. So it maybe maybe they Usually 0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:11.000 when they don't say anything, that's when you know something. 0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:14.200 So he was not there. He could be an active 0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:16.240 this week, or it could be Bryce Butler. So if 0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:17.960 we're going to play the inactive game, I would think 0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:20.880 it'd be Terrence or him for whatever the reason. If 0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:23.840 something comes down though, then he guess wouldn't even be 0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:27.600 on the roster. So that's that. But I mean that's 0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:29.960 not something that affects the team because he hasn't been 0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:33.440 affecting the team really since And you guys went to practice, 0:02:33.480 --> 0:02:37.760 were Cole Beasley and Antoine would still limited or um? 0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:40.880 Colt Beasley was out there. The guys that just weren't 0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:44.399 there Shaun Lee and Travis Frederick. So Beasley was out there. 0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:47.280 Molik was there. He had a really big wrapper on 0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:49.639 his left knee, but he was doing some things. I 0:02:49.680 --> 0:02:54.000 would imagine he's going to be limited and questionable today. 0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:57.320 I would think so at the best. At the best, yeah, 0:02:57.360 --> 0:02:59.160 they could rule him out, you know, because Gregory did 0:02:59.240 --> 0:03:00.720 some things a couple week ago and then they still 0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:04.600 ruled him out. Right. Antwine Woods was out there doing stuff, 0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:09.920 so we'll see. Um, everybody was kind of doing something, um, 0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:13.200 other than Frederick and Lee. So okay, So let's go 0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:16.840 over the inactives. Travis Frederick, Shan Lee. There you go. Um, 0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:21.079 are we keeping Malik inactive or based on what you 0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:24.000 saw today, decided to give you. I think Malik or 0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:26.160 kron Red. Don't you think that's gonna say one of 0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:27.639 the two, One of the two. They do it. They 0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:30.200 did get a little bit a defensive tackle, so there 0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:34.119 you go, there's Mike White, Dalton Schultz five, and then 0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:37.880 Bryce or say Terence. You think that's going to continue 0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:39.240 to be the let's go back to the tight end. 0:03:39.240 --> 0:03:40.560 You think it's going to continue to be the case. 0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:43.200 I do Dalton short looking at looking at what they 0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:46.360 were doing in offense today, just just a one little drill. 0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:49.640 But so far that drill that I've been seeing on 0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:51.960 Friday of the tight end has been indicative of who's 0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:56.560 active and who isn't. Okay, so it stayed again today. Um, 0:03:56.840 --> 0:04:00.400 I think there. I think if let's just say Terrence, 0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:03.160 was something happened, if he was suspended, I don't think 0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:06.520 you sign anybody. I think you go with fifty two. 0:04:06.600 --> 0:04:08.200 Well wait, wait, is that a rule that you have 0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:14.240 to It's only a rule that on Monday it's you 0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:17.320 don't have to have fifty two to play a game. Yeah, 0:04:17.360 --> 0:04:21.320 I'm sorry, fifty three. There's a rule about like, there's 0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:23.159 some kind of rule about that, like on Monday, But 0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:24.839 I don't know if it would be game day and 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:26.640 that'd be the league's fault come in here and do 0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:29.200 it on a Friday. Anyways, that that happened, that's mainly 0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:31.279 just about like paying a player though, you know what 0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:34.120 I mean, Like there's but I'm drawn a blank. They 0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:35.960 did it last year where they were like, well, we 0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:40.000 need to have a full roster otherwise Showers. It seems 0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:42.400 like something with Jamie Showers was involved there. But all 0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:44.599 I'm saying is is that let's say that that happened. 0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:46.840 You don't have to bring up Lance Lenore just to 0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:48.920 make him inactive and pay him that kind of money 0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:52.800 for it. I wouldn't think. So I still think that 0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:56.720 receiver will be that spot. Yes, receiver Terrence or Bryce. 0:04:56.760 --> 0:04:59.480 That's about yes. That's all he leaves was six and 0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:03.800 then um Xavier Suaphilo. I would bet oh, yeah, so 0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:09.120 you piece of cake? Easy, piece of cake? Easy? We 0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:12.320 add him? I would guess that you easy because because 0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:14.200 of Lee. Yeah, that's good. We'll get to see him 0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:17.359 a little bit. Okay, So who should we expect to 0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:20.600 see more out of this weekend? And there's a lot 0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:23.640 of options out there, maybe a brise Jordan Lewis we 0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:27.159 talked about him the other day, Layton taking over now 0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:32.440 or having more playing time? Derek? Who I want to 0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:34.920 see more from? Who are you expecting to see more 0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:39.360 out of this weekend, I'll start if you want me to, well, 0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:41.560 I'm gonna change the question a little bit because I 0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:43.480 don't know who to expect it from after what I 0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:45.360 saw last week. I don't really know what to expect 0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:47.440 from this team right now, and that's not being I 0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:50.360 don't want to be seemed like that's being that's being overstated. 0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:53.080 I honestly don't know what I'm going to get from 0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:55.600 week to week right now with this team. But what 0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:59.160 I hope to see is I hope to see Xavier 0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:01.680 Woods play a really good game because I think he's 0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:03.839 going to be tested this week. This will be the best, 0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:06.040 in my opinion, the best passing offense that they will 0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:08.520 have faced this season. I think it's a really good 0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:11.320 passing offense, and I know they stretch the field, They're 0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:13.720 gonna go down field, They're gonna be some opportunities for 0:06:13.760 --> 0:06:16.440 the safeties to make some plays, and so I want 0:06:16.440 --> 0:06:18.360 to see if he can man that. I want to 0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:20.640 see if he can be that center fielder and be 0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:23.560 able to make some plays going up and getting against 0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:25.960 an offense that tries to really challenge you by stretching 0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:28.240 the field and has a lot of different receivers. That 0:06:28.279 --> 0:06:30.560 can get open in different situations. I want to see 0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:34.839 if he can really make himself and a real advantage 0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:37.480 for the Cowboys, because that's gonna tell us a lot 0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:39.719 about you know. Now we're going to start getting to 0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:43.400 see if he is the guy that because it might 0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:45.080 this might be the last chance you get to see 0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:46.960 for a while whether he's going to really be a 0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:49.320 great safety or at least is he on the way 0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:51.240 to being a good safety for this team. Because there 0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:52.520 are on a lot of teams you're gonna face in 0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:54.320 the next couple of weeks to have great passing games. 0:06:54.800 --> 0:06:58.200 This is definitely one of them. That's a good one. 0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:01.760 Joe Thomas, It's gonna still be my guy. This team 0:07:02.000 --> 0:07:04.839 still hasn't played a game, you know, without Shaun Lee. 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:08.000 Um and and has and had a lot of success 0:07:08.040 --> 0:07:10.800 the last three years. Um this team is won and 0:07:10.920 --> 0:07:13.640 eight when Shaun Lee doesn't play in the game. So, um, 0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:17.480 that's my that's my guy. And and I firmly believe 0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:20.120 that that that's what they did in training camp because 0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:22.480 you can't you can't really protect a guy from injury. 0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:25.960 I mean you can, I guess, I mean, but but 0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:27.960 that doesn't mean when he comes back that he's not 0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:29.920 going to get hurt just like that, which he did. 0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:34.040 What they were doing was preparing for when he got hurt, 0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:36.520 and it's now the time is here. It's an interesting 0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:39.160 take on that. I just I think I'm kind of 0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:43.360 kind of it was and it's but I'm just saying 0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:46.800 I wasn't. I wouldn't really think that way. But but 0:07:46.800 --> 0:07:49.040 but in you know, in reality, that's kind of what 0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:50.840 they were doing. They're like, you know what and what 0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:53.200 happens if he does go down? We need to see 0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:55.080 if these guys are ready to play. Can we got 0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:57.160 a bunch without the guys too? We want to see 0:07:57.160 --> 0:07:59.160 if they have the get the reds to be able 0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:01.120 to play. Joe Thomas isn't the main guy that needs 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:02.640 to step up. It's obvious and I don't want to 0:08:02.680 --> 0:08:04.680 steal if if one of your guys as a linebacker, 0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:07.360 but I mean he's he's a guy that needs to elevate. 0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:10.520 But clearly fifty five and fifty four are the two 0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:14.160 that we're looking at. Yeah, those guys need to play. 0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:16.400 Does this have to be defense? It could be anyone. 0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:19.560 I just I think, um, and I mean take a 0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:23.640 pick on the offense. Obviously, but Lyle Collins is just 0:08:23.800 --> 0:08:26.680 something that I'm thinking about because he's off to a 0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:30.320 slow start. There's no way around that. But I know 0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:33.760 the Lions are second in the league in sacks or no. Fourth, 0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:36.439 but they've got ten in three games, which is good. 0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:40.000 But like Ziggianza, seems doubtful and even if he plays, 0:08:40.040 --> 0:08:43.800 he'll probably not be one hundred percent. He needs to 0:08:43.840 --> 0:08:45.920 have a better game. They both do. Tyrannt end Lyle 0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:48.640 need to have a better game. And there's not that 0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:51.760 fearsome edge rusher like they had last week that you 0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:54.160 see so many weeks in the NFL. I think it's 0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:56.280 gonna be a lot of linebacker blitzes. But I'd like 0:08:56.320 --> 0:08:58.240 to see the tackles play a better game than they 0:08:58.280 --> 0:09:01.079 have because both of them have been off to start 0:09:01.120 --> 0:09:04.000 the season. I wanted to talk about it Answa real quick. 0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:07.000 I forgot about it and I had it on my list. Um, 0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:09.600 he did not practice again, showed up on the report. 0:09:11.480 --> 0:09:15.480 Why are you laughing, I'm just messing with you, dang, 0:09:15.600 --> 0:09:20.800 Brian can trust his words for those Hey, Amber ever 0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:24.080 put together this great piece on answer, not really knowing 0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:27.440 that he wasn't gonna play he's gonna plays. He's going 0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:35.400 to play. Trust me, Trust me, kid, I know a thing. Hey, 0:09:35.440 --> 0:09:39.200 it's early, it's Friday. Like he's a pro bowler. Count 0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:41.400 him out if he gets out there today. That the 0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:43.839 whole thing flips. What do you two always say? It's 0:09:43.880 --> 0:09:47.760 the cow It's the Cowboys way to play this whole season. 0:09:47.800 --> 0:09:50.120 The Cowboys have been getting breaks this season, though it 0:09:50.120 --> 0:09:52.920 seems like like, uh, you know, Thomas Davis was out 0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:55.080 in Week one and their line was a mess, and 0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:58.920 the Seahawks line was a mess earlier. Is really benefiting 0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:01.720 this No not, it is not benefiting them at all. 0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:04.920 But they missed Vernon in Week two, like they've got 0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:08.080 benefited from that. Yeah, they have gotten some breaks, no 0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:10.120 doubt about it. But I didn't see any issues that 0:10:10.160 --> 0:10:14.600 the Lion that the Seattle's offensive line was like horrible. No, 0:10:15.360 --> 0:10:17.160 I mean they gave up three. I mean this this 0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:20.800 defense is good. I mean the Cowboys have a good defense. 0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:23.800 I mean something. I was wondering about this um and 0:10:23.840 --> 0:10:26.400 you guys may have seen a little closer um. It 0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:29.160 seemed to me, and this is not just the last game. 0:10:29.160 --> 0:10:30.840 It seemed to me this was the same case in 0:10:30.880 --> 0:10:32.640 the first game, and even in some degree in the 0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:36.080 Giants game, when they got pressure typically was when they 0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:39.120 were sending any extra guys. When it was just four rushing, 0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:41.600 it didn't seem like they were getting a lot of pressure. 0:10:41.679 --> 0:10:43.600 Did you guys notice that or have you noticed that 0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:46.280 any of the three games? Well? I didn't think Gregory 0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:50.440 played that well in the game obviously no Week three. Yeah, 0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:53.679 I mean obviously had the bad penalty, but even before 0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:56.280 that he was he was getting blocked pretty good one 0:10:56.320 --> 0:10:59.280 on one, So I was expecting a little more pressure 0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:02.160 out of him there. Um, yeah, you're right that the linebackers, 0:11:02.160 --> 0:11:03.960 when it was Sean Lee coming off the edge or 0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:06.880 Jalen Smith or those guys, that's that's where they need. 0:11:07.000 --> 0:11:08.760 And it's not a good sign. Even on some of 0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:12.319 the sacks where the front the defense, the four defensive linemen, 0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:14.240 we get the sacks. It was on the plays where 0:11:14.480 --> 0:11:16.720 we have an extra guy coming. You set next to 0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:19.240 me in the game, and you know, I was upset 0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:24.040 a couple of times about a certain play, which time 0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:27.360 we're talking about here upset upset, but this moment when 0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:29.240 you were not happy. It's like if you have the 0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:31.719 best pass rusher on the team, and he's one of 0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:35.000 the best in the league at rushing the passer. Then 0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:36.920 let him do what his job and you figure out 0:11:36.960 --> 0:11:41.199 the other things. And I thought, putting DeMarcus Lawrence inside 0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:45.360 and put Taco on the outside, you're watering down what 0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:48.360 what this guy does the best. This whole mindset. We 0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:51.000 get our best pass rushers on the field. That's cool, 0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:53.800 But get the best guy doing what he's awesome at. 0:11:53.920 --> 0:11:56.480 But because the touchdown that they gave it, he doesn't 0:11:56.480 --> 0:11:58.760 do anything. He gets it. I look at that and 0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:01.079 I say the best pass Well, I shouldn't say the 0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:03.160 best pass. A lot of the really good pass rushers 0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:05.720 in the league today, they move around, they can play 0:12:05.720 --> 0:12:07.480 a lot of different positions on the line, and so 0:12:07.520 --> 0:12:10.360 you really are looking for the best matchup for that player. So, 0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:13.320 for example, in that instance, if they thought, hey, we 0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:16.600 think that putting DeMarcus against a guard is a better 0:12:16.640 --> 0:12:19.199 matchup than putting DeMarcus against it an end. So we'll 0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:21.760 put Taco on the end. I mean, then a tackle, 0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:24.240 we'll put Taco on the end. We'll let him have 0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:26.960 this advantage in on this one particular play where he's 0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:28.280 going up against the guard, and we think it's a 0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:30.520 better situation that was the result of that play. I 0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:32.839 get it. I'm just saying that I don't think it's 0:12:32.840 --> 0:12:34.960 just I don't think you can just assume and that 0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:38.200 DeMarcus can't play, and I don't really I agree with you, though. 0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:40.800 I don't agree with you that these great pass rushers 0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:43.040 going and yes they can move around, but I bet 0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:45.560 they don't do their damage up there in the front. 0:12:45.679 --> 0:12:48.160 I saw it happened last night with Sue. Sue got 0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:50.080 a sack when he was playing defensive end. He's a 0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:52.400 better defensive tackle, right, but they put him at defensive 0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:54.520 end on a play he went around the guy he 0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:56.560 got a sack. I mean, I don't think it's I 0:12:56.559 --> 0:12:58.480 think in today's NFL there are a lot of really 0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:01.400 good pass rushers that were around to see. I need 0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:03.840 to see de Mark Florence get a sack from the inside. 0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:05.840 I need to see that. Or I just don't think 0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:09.160 it's it's it's what they need to be doing with him. Yeah, 0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:12.040 I mean, but that's that's my thing. I mean, can 0:13:12.080 --> 0:13:14.600 Tacko not play that? Can these other guys not not mix? 0:13:14.960 --> 0:13:17.480 Don't mess mess around with the best thing you've got. 0:13:17.600 --> 0:13:19.679 That's my my thought, we'll see if he can get 0:13:19.720 --> 0:13:22.400 there and beat the guard and center inside. And you know, 0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:24.400 I know JPP kind of did that a little bit 0:13:24.400 --> 0:13:26.280 with the Johnson. I never thought he was really that 0:13:26.400 --> 0:13:28.840 good doing it from the inside. We had to account 0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:32.280 for him, but we'll stonewall him if we should have 0:13:32.360 --> 0:13:34.080 known that this was going to happen. I mean during 0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:36.600 training camp, he was moving up and down the line, 0:13:36.640 --> 0:13:38.959 and I think that was an indication that they had 0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:43.280 at least some he did against everybody except for except 0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:47.720 for Zack. Yeah, and that's nobody's gonna be zac. Many 0:13:48.880 --> 0:13:54.480 astrid were like I dismiss everything that happened with Travis 0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:56.880 Frederick during training campus year. Antoine Woods might have a 0:13:56.960 --> 0:13:59.719 job because of that. I know, yeah now, and that 0:13:59.840 --> 0:14:02.280 might be a flawed rush now that we figure out 0:14:02.280 --> 0:14:04.200 by the end of the season. Who knows. I have 0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:08.640 a small quibble just because and they did Blitzeli a lot, 0:14:08.679 --> 0:14:10.760 but I thought the front four got good pressure in 0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:13.560 that game when there wasn't an extra got come. DeMarcus 0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:16.920 Lawrence was like single handedly wrecking double teams that whole game. 0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:19.760 Like he just was swatting tight ends and tackles out 0:14:19.800 --> 0:14:22.720 of the way, Yeah, I think so. And the thing 0:14:22.760 --> 0:14:26.480 with the Seahawks is, I mean their line definitely played better, 0:14:26.520 --> 0:14:28.840 but like again, it's all about the release time. Like 0:14:28.920 --> 0:14:31.360 Russell Wilson just wasn't holding the ball. I don't think 0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:33.480 there's a pass rush in the league that can get 0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:35.720 to you when you're throwing it in two seconds or less. 0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:38.720 So and that's I think Stafford's gonna be similar. So 0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:43.240 this is gonna be another challenge which regardless of what's working, 0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:45.680 even if the front four was working, you're probably gonna 0:14:45.680 --> 0:14:48.040 need to send extra guys to get the job done here. 0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:49.840 And the best thing about this week is we really 0:14:49.840 --> 0:14:52.160 get to now see what these cornerbacks are like. And 0:14:52.160 --> 0:14:54.760 I talked about Xavier Woods, but even more important, we 0:14:54.800 --> 0:14:57.560 get to see these cornerbacks now. Because so far we've 0:14:57.560 --> 0:14:59.800 loved we saw during training camp, they haven't really been 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:02.720 tested yet this regular season. They're gonna get tested this weekend. 0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:04.880 We're gonna find out a lot about these cornerbacks. Yeah, 0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:07.880 and I'm really, really, really a little bit worried about 0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:10.120 what's going to happen in the slot, just because I 0:15:10.120 --> 0:15:12.480 don't I think Anthony Brown obviously is the weakest of 0:15:12.520 --> 0:15:15.680 those guys, and I'm a little bit concerned about them 0:15:15.720 --> 0:15:18.560 exploiting him. There. You know who else is gonna get tested? 0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:21.640 You guys when we come back from the break, we 0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:26.680 are playing a game. C No. Hey, hey, if you're 0:15:26.720 --> 0:15:29.240 like me and you love I mean, if you have 0:15:29.280 --> 0:15:32.280 a part thing, then cutting the court is scary.

That's 0:17:00.560 --> 0:17:03.560 why the Cowboys rely on more than stats and scouting 0:17:03.680 --> 0:17:06.800 reports when building their team.

You got to take it out and put 0:17:11.400 --> 0:17:13.920 it to the test the Cowboys did when they named 0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:17.600 John Deer their official tractor.

Some time you're going to church. 0:18:01.000 --> 0:18:04.640 Oh okay, do you have a bat a pass pass 0:18:04.720 --> 0:18:07.440 for for the game? Okay?

Okay, but these 0:18:13.119 --> 0:18:15.399 guys to get there, you're gonna have to to hustle. 0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:18.960 All right, Let's move on from this argument because I 0:18:19.000 --> 0:18:21.440 don't want to get into religion right now.

So are you guys ready? 0:19:11.600 --> 0:19:15.880 Here we go? Should we just switch to a college offense? 0:19:17.560 --> 0:19:21.800 I'm sorry, I sit and laughing like that's funny. Okay, 0:19:21.840 --> 0:19:27.159 but we're not hitting the panic buttons. Hey, that was 0:19:27.320 --> 0:19:30.679 Jerry who said that I'm sure. I'm sure y'all can relate. 0:19:30.800 --> 0:19:33.879 But like I just got inundated in tweets about the 0:19:34.000 --> 0:19:36.440 Rams last night. Oh yeah, well I started some of 0:19:36.520 --> 0:19:38.720 that and I was just kind of like I was 0:19:38.800 --> 0:19:40.680 saying it kind of in a flip way, and I 0:19:40.800 --> 0:19:42.679 was just like, man, did you see how many ways 0:19:42.760 --> 0:19:45.480 they found a way to get Girly the ball? You know? 0:19:45.600 --> 0:19:47.399 And it was because they did that first series, like 0:19:47.720 --> 0:19:50.359 he was running reverses like he was. He was in 0:19:50.400 --> 0:19:53.240 the backfieldy running the mill run outside, he ran a 0:19:53.440 --> 0:19:55.600 flare route, he ran a wheel route like he was 0:19:55.640 --> 0:19:57.479 just doing all kinds of stuff. They lined him up 0:19:57.480 --> 0:19:59.840 outside and I was just saying it as a man, 0:20:00.000 --> 0:20:05.159 that was really cool. But fans will like Manet, you know, 0:20:05.440 --> 0:20:07.240 you can't get those guys by going eight and eight. 0:20:07.880 --> 0:20:10.199 You just can't. The only reason the Cowboys have one 0:20:10.240 --> 0:20:12.640 of the best players ever because Tony Romo got hurt 0:20:12.680 --> 0:20:14.720 and the team wasn't good and they drafted fourth and 0:20:14.800 --> 0:20:17.920 they got Zeke. But you just can't get a top 0:20:18.119 --> 0:20:20.280 quarterback doing it like that. You're gonna have to you 0:20:20.480 --> 0:20:21.800 have to make a lot of trades and all that 0:20:21.840 --> 0:20:24.640 stuff to move up. Well, yeah, but I'm just saying 0:20:25.040 --> 0:20:28.199 that that quarterback is really good. We didn't know if 0:20:28.240 --> 0:20:30.760 he would be, but he really is good. Yeah. But 0:20:30.880 --> 0:20:32.959 I mean we talked about it before the show. I mean, 0:20:33.040 --> 0:20:35.119 the Rams traded a lot to get up to get him. 0:20:35.320 --> 0:20:37.399 The Eagles traded a lot to get up to get wins. 0:20:37.520 --> 0:20:39.760 I mean, there is a way to do it, even 0:20:39.840 --> 0:20:42.720 if you're at fifteen, sixteen, seventeen. You just gotta be 0:20:42.800 --> 0:20:44.719 willing to mortgage a lot and you got to give 0:20:44.800 --> 0:20:46.440 up a lot of picks if you're gonna be willing 0:20:46.480 --> 0:20:48.159 to go and get the do or Die year to 0:20:48.240 --> 0:20:50.280 find out if Dak is the guy right now, he's 0:20:50.680 --> 0:20:53.920 he's not looking like it at all. So but you know, 0:20:54.560 --> 0:20:56.280 you can't switch it to a college offense right now. 0:20:56.400 --> 0:20:59.480 I mean, yeah, to answer the question more directly, it's 0:20:59.600 --> 0:21:07.800 very we'll see. I mean which college offense. Well, yeah, 0:21:07.840 --> 0:21:11.080 I mean, like you know those college offenses with a 0:21:11.160 --> 0:21:13.239 mobile quarterback that runs the ball a lot. I mean 0:21:13.640 --> 0:21:15.960 maybe so, because that's really the only way you're going 0:21:16.040 --> 0:21:17.959 to do it with Dak right now is to get 0:21:18.119 --> 0:21:19.960 him kind of on the move a little bit. So yes, 0:21:20.280 --> 0:21:23.320 I'll say this, there are college offenses that that have 0:21:23.640 --> 0:21:26.719 quarterbacks like that that are a lot more mobile than 0:21:26.760 --> 0:21:30.720 they are passers, and they are successful. So I think 0:21:30.760 --> 0:21:34.000 you can take some college concepts and use them here 0:21:34.119 --> 0:21:35.800 so that you know what, it's not that bad of 0:21:35.840 --> 0:21:37.800 a question at all. And let me throw this out too. 0:21:37.920 --> 0:21:40.399 I think, um, and we've talked a lot about these 0:21:40.480 --> 0:21:42.680 guys on this show. You look at RG three, you 0:21:42.800 --> 0:21:45.840 look at Um, vinch Young, Um, and I guess you 0:21:45.920 --> 0:21:49.359 can look at Dak's first year. It doesn't seem to 0:21:49.440 --> 0:21:52.440 me to be a coincidence that those guys had success 0:21:52.560 --> 0:21:55.399 early and in each of those instances, in my opinion, 0:21:55.520 --> 0:21:58.040 maybe a little less the Cowboys, but certainly with with 0:21:58.320 --> 0:22:01.040 Vince Young and RG three. They were running an offense 0:22:01.080 --> 0:22:03.120 where they were taking advantage of what they did well 0:22:03.200 --> 0:22:05.680 at the time, which was they were allowing them to 0:22:05.760 --> 0:22:07.000 run the ball a lot more and be a lot 0:22:07.080 --> 0:22:09.040 more in the offense in every way. And then what 0:22:09.240 --> 0:22:11.600 ended up happening is as they started getting older in 0:22:11.680 --> 0:22:14.520 the league, their teams wanted them to throw more. Which 0:22:14.600 --> 0:22:17.040 I get why you say, Okay, you just can't sustain 0:22:17.119 --> 0:22:20.520 a career running the ball all the time. That's the argument, right, 0:22:21.560 --> 0:22:23.560 But I think that's also the undoing of a lot 0:22:23.600 --> 0:22:27.320 of those guys, and so I do wonder if maybe 0:22:27.400 --> 0:22:30.240 they should go with the idea that let's just keep 0:22:30.320 --> 0:22:33.200 doing what this quarterback does well. Don't force him to 0:22:33.400 --> 0:22:35.680 do what he doesn't do well. Keep doing what he 0:22:35.800 --> 0:22:39.120 does well, and maybe you can continue his success. Lenahan 0:22:39.200 --> 0:22:41.800 said this week that there's gonna be more wrinkles on offense, 0:22:41.960 --> 0:22:45.000 like it's gonna look and keep hinting that it's gonna 0:22:45.040 --> 0:22:47.480 look different. I gotta see it to believe it. Did 0:22:47.560 --> 0:22:49.960 he say that last week? He said no, not like 0:22:50.040 --> 0:22:52.399 he said it this week, which I gotta see it 0:22:52.440 --> 0:22:53.720 to believe it. It's not like I don't have a 0:22:53.720 --> 0:22:55.359 problem with the question at all, and I would love 0:22:55.440 --> 0:22:57.520 to see some of that stuff incorporate here. I just 0:22:57.600 --> 0:23:02.200 gotta see it to believe it. Flee like, let's do it. 0:23:04.720 --> 0:23:08.760 Smith is finally playing at the level we hope for see. 0:23:11.200 --> 0:23:14.040 I mean, he can be better, he can, and he 0:23:14.119 --> 0:23:16.760 needs to be. But like he's playing at that level. 0:23:16.880 --> 0:23:20.680 He's he's playing, he's playing the snap counts that he 0:23:20.800 --> 0:23:23.720 played last year when he struggled, and he's not struggling. 0:23:23.880 --> 0:23:26.080 So that's a step in the right direction. And here's 0:23:26.080 --> 0:23:28.440 another opportunity for him to step up this week and 0:23:28.600 --> 0:23:31.320 be not just a good player, but be able to 0:23:31.359 --> 0:23:33.960 bring everybody along with him, because that's what they miss 0:23:34.040 --> 0:23:35.800 when you talk about that stat earlier than one and 0:23:35.880 --> 0:23:38.320 eight without Sean Lee, what they miss as a defense 0:23:38.359 --> 0:23:41.040 a lot of times is his ability to lead that defense. 0:23:41.119 --> 0:23:44.600 And so I wonder if if maybe it's not Jalen, 0:23:44.640 --> 0:23:46.240 maybe Jayalen's not the guy that steps up to be 0:23:46.320 --> 0:23:49.280 the leader. Oh, I don't know. I'm glad you said that. 0:23:49.400 --> 0:23:52.600 Did you see what he said yesterday? And this is 0:23:52.680 --> 0:23:54.720 bad radio because I gotta go back and find it. 0:23:54.840 --> 0:23:59.359 But he had a quote, Yeah, uh, this is like 0:23:59.520 --> 0:24:01.280 I mean when you talk about how the Cowboys are 0:24:01.359 --> 0:24:04.520 encouraged that he can be a cornerstone player. So you know, 0:24:04.640 --> 0:24:06.840 Jalen's gonna start at Michael vander esh is gonna start 0:24:06.840 --> 0:24:09.640 at Will. So Jalen yesterday talking about he says, I've 0:24:09.720 --> 0:24:11.880 learned so much from Sean and he's still the leader 0:24:11.920 --> 0:24:14.879 of the defense. But the moment he's gone not able 0:24:14.920 --> 0:24:17.880 to play, or whenever he decides to retire, it's gonna 0:24:17.920 --> 0:24:20.879 be my defense. And I'm ready for it. Like I 0:24:22.280 --> 0:24:23.920 like that a lot. I love it, and you know, 0:24:24.040 --> 0:24:25.720 to be honest with you, that's not something that was 0:24:25.760 --> 0:24:29.040 a throw. That's not something that that you didn't really 0:24:29.080 --> 0:24:32.160 even that you know you wouldn't because he is he's 0:24:32.200 --> 0:24:34.000 that kind of person. You can see that kind of 0:24:34.119 --> 0:24:37.280 leadership quality in him. Right, it's still cool to hear it. Yeah, 0:24:37.359 --> 0:24:40.440 no doubt. He does not lack for confidence, and you 0:24:40.480 --> 0:24:43.560 wouldn't expect him to say something like that. Really. No, Yeah, 0:24:43.640 --> 0:24:45.960 he's I mean he said that. I mean, he's not 0:24:46.040 --> 0:24:48.200 a great quote justin. I mean, you know he's he's 0:24:48.240 --> 0:24:50.480 a media savvy guy. He came from Notre Dame. He's 0:24:50.520 --> 0:24:53.000 not He's not the guy that's gonna be dumb. No, 0:24:53.119 --> 0:24:56.320 he's definitely not dumb. But the smartest players usually say 0:24:56.400 --> 0:24:58.879 the dumbest stuff in terms of they know how to 0:24:59.119 --> 0:25:02.480 not make headline. Yeah, but that's a good quote. Very 0:25:02.520 --> 0:25:07.960 good Cowboys defense will get more turnovers than sacks this weekend. 0:25:08.119 --> 0:25:13.760 No see, yes see. I don't think you're gonna I 0:25:13.800 --> 0:25:16.679 don't think you're gonna sack Stafford. He's taken three sacks 0:25:16.720 --> 0:25:19.160 all season. He gets the ball out fast. Not getting 0:25:19.200 --> 0:25:22.239 a ton of turnovers though the Cowboys, Well, I mean 0:25:22.359 --> 0:25:24.040 it can change when you play a guy that wants 0:25:24.080 --> 0:25:29.880 to give you the ball. He's got five picks, three sacks, 0:25:31.160 --> 0:25:35.320 four sacks to re takeaways. Yeah, it's gonna be a 0:25:35.359 --> 0:25:39.800 pick party. Okay, okay, all right, I'm good. I'm not 0:25:39.880 --> 0:25:42.119 against that. I just I'm looking at the history right now, 0:25:42.200 --> 0:25:44.080 and the history says that they're way more prone to 0:25:44.160 --> 0:25:46.720 get sacks than they are to get to get picks. 0:25:46.760 --> 0:25:49.760 But we'll see, we'll see, all right. Jordan Lewis was 0:25:49.840 --> 0:25:56.000 a wasted draft pick. That's harsh. No, Well, as soon 0:25:56.040 --> 0:26:00.760 to say that, it's here's that it sucks because they 0:26:00.920 --> 0:26:05.720 drafted him with a whole different system in mind. Basically, 0:26:05.880 --> 0:26:08.840 I mean like Chris Rashard came in and is doing 0:26:08.960 --> 0:26:11.879 his thing now, like this is basically his defense, and 0:26:11.960 --> 0:26:14.800 it's gonna be even more his defense if you know, 0:26:15.000 --> 0:26:19.320 if he if that happens in the future. Um, but 0:26:20.119 --> 0:26:23.719 he wasn't drafted to fit that system. So it sucks. 0:26:24.040 --> 0:26:27.280 But so I mean, yeah, I guess technically it is 0:26:27.320 --> 0:26:30.240 a wasted pick because he doesn't fit. It's not no, 0:26:30.560 --> 0:26:32.159 it's playing it's not good. I mean that is it 0:26:32.240 --> 0:26:34.119 too early to say that? I mean you still a 0:26:34.160 --> 0:26:37.200 second year and they didn't expect to be as good. 0:26:37.560 --> 0:26:40.399 But this is on him too because because yes, the 0:26:40.560 --> 0:26:44.040 outside guys, they like them big, strong, long guys. But 0:26:44.560 --> 0:26:47.040 he could play in the slot. I mean, Henny, it 0:26:47.160 --> 0:26:50.720 means that in a skill set, why wouldn't it be 0:26:51.000 --> 0:26:53.520 cover the guy be quick? You know you don't have 0:26:53.680 --> 0:26:55.520 you you got little guys in there, and you can 0:26:55.640 --> 0:26:57.800 you have to stay with him, like that's the skills 0:26:57.840 --> 0:27:00.680 of But not every corner can playing a slot well. 0:27:00.840 --> 0:27:03.080 Like I mean, that's just I think that's that's a 0:27:03.240 --> 0:27:06.040 skill that some corners have, not all corners do well. 0:27:06.320 --> 0:27:08.720 If you're if you're going to be an undersized corner 0:27:08.800 --> 0:27:10.240 in the league when you need to be able to, 0:27:10.400 --> 0:27:12.880 I feel like you kind of do. And and Anthony 0:27:13.000 --> 0:27:15.520 Brown isn't about to play defensive tackle. I mean he's 0:27:15.680 --> 0:27:17.520 not the biggest guy in the world. I mean, he's 0:27:17.520 --> 0:27:20.680 beating him out right now. Um. That's I will say this, 0:27:20.840 --> 0:27:23.639 and that's I have I have asked around about this 0:27:23.920 --> 0:27:27.600 in a few different places, and you know, they I 0:27:27.840 --> 0:27:30.280 hear that they like Jordan Lewis, but playing one snap 0:27:30.320 --> 0:27:32.840 in three games does not indicate that they like him. 0:27:32.960 --> 0:27:35.600 Not in the past, happy modern enough I'm getting on 0:27:35.680 --> 0:27:38.199 the phone there. Um, they might like it. They might 0:27:38.320 --> 0:27:41.080 like him in certain That's that's goes back to my point. 0:27:41.200 --> 0:27:43.040 They may like him on the outside, they may like 0:27:43.160 --> 0:27:45.000 him there, but right now they're like the two guys 0:27:45.040 --> 0:27:47.480 we got on the outside we love. Maybe we like him, 0:27:47.520 --> 0:27:49.399 but we love the two guys we got on the outside. 0:27:49.440 --> 0:27:51.600 I have a hard time pounding the table about it 0:27:51.760 --> 0:27:55.400 because we did see him. He got his opportunities in camp, 0:27:55.480 --> 0:27:57.560 and he didn't look awesome like he did not have 0:27:57.640 --> 0:28:01.199 a good preseason against you know, these all receivers, right, 0:28:01.320 --> 0:28:04.000 and so you know, if he had been just locked 0:28:04.040 --> 0:28:07.520 down nobody's messing with him, then I would really want 0:28:07.520 --> 0:28:10.560 to get to the bottom of this. But it might 0:28:10.680 --> 0:28:12.720 be as simple as I mean, he clearly doesn't fit 0:28:12.760 --> 0:28:15.119 what Christo Shard wants to do, But also might be 0:28:15.160 --> 0:28:17.240 as simple as he's not as good as the other three, 0:28:17.280 --> 0:28:20.520 at least not right now, or maybe his confidence was 0:28:20.600 --> 0:28:23.119 affected by it. I mean, when you make that kind 0:28:23.160 --> 0:28:25.520 of change and stuff, I'm sure it affects you somehow, 0:28:25.600 --> 0:28:28.440 And yes, I understand you have to step it up anyways, 0:28:28.600 --> 0:28:31.840 but I don't know there's no way around it. It's 0:28:31.920 --> 0:28:34.200 weird that a guy who was good enough to start 0:28:34.280 --> 0:28:37.520 seven games as a rookie now has played one snap 0:28:37.600 --> 0:28:40.160 and it was only due to injury. It's weird. And 0:28:40.280 --> 0:28:43.680 he's not a special teams pier. He can't contribute on 0:28:43.800 --> 0:28:46.760 special teams at all, which is that's really bad. Yeah, 0:28:47.360 --> 0:28:49.920 that was weird to me, was that a cornerback isn't 0:28:49.960 --> 0:28:52.920 contributing at all on special team He won't. He won't 0:28:53.440 --> 0:28:55.960 be in this situation for long. And I don't know this, 0:28:56.480 --> 0:28:58.600 No one said anything to me about that. I'm just saying, 0:28:58.680 --> 0:29:01.920 a backup cornerback who does not play special teams, you 0:29:02.040 --> 0:29:04.240 can't do that forever. He's either going to be inactive, 0:29:04.240 --> 0:29:07.480 they'll pull someone else up, they'll trade him the something. 0:29:07.640 --> 0:29:11.240 You just continue to do that. Yeah, it's very weird 0:29:11.360 --> 0:29:14.560 to see on a forty six man roster or like, 0:29:15.040 --> 0:29:18.080 unless you're the backup quarterback, it's very weird to see 0:29:18.600 --> 0:29:21.040 somebody not you know, they on the game book every 0:29:21.080 --> 0:29:23.840 week it says did not participate. It's weird to see 0:29:24.560 --> 0:29:27.400 anybody but the backup quarterback listed there. Maybe maybe an 0:29:27.440 --> 0:29:29.960 offensive limon maybe if they didn't play special teams, but 0:29:30.040 --> 0:29:32.120 that's it. When I saw that I actually ask our 0:29:32.160 --> 0:29:34.680 pr guys like, is this a mistake? He was like, Nope, No, 0:29:34.680 --> 0:29:37.720 I don't think so. Nope. Wow, and and and Cavon's 0:29:37.720 --> 0:29:40.280 over here with you know, seventeen injuries and trying to 0:29:40.400 --> 0:29:44.080 limp through playing safety and also playing special teams. Sure 0:29:44.120 --> 0:29:46.280 would be nice to get some you know, relief there. 0:29:46.400 --> 0:29:48.320 But if they can't do it right now, all right, 0:29:48.440 --> 0:29:50.480 let's take our final break and when we come back, 0:29:50.560 --> 0:29:53.880 we'll finish up this game and move onto game day predictions. 0:29:55.160 --> 0:29:57.760 While a player can look good on paper, it's when 0:29:57.880 --> 0:30:00.120 he's out on the field that you really find find 0:30:00.160 --> 0:30:02.640 out what he's made of. That's why the Cowboys rely 0:30:02.800 --> 0:30:05.960 on more than staffs and scouting reports when building their team. 0:30:06.280 --> 0:30:08.720 When picking a tractor, it's why you should rely on 0:30:08.880 --> 0:30:11.520 more than specs and features as well. You gotta take 0:30:11.560 --> 0:30:13.880 it out and put it to the test the Cowboys 0:30:13.960 --> 0:30:16.840 did when they named John Deer their official tractor.

Thank you, Dave. 0:33:14.520 --> 0:33:19.000 All right, would you want and this is what you 0:33:19.160 --> 0:33:22.280 would want? Not what the Cowboys would do? But would 0:33:22.360 --> 0:33:25.840 you want the Cowboys to draft a quarterback in the 0:33:25.920 --> 0:33:29.880 first round? What are you doing here? Why do we 0:33:30.000 --> 0:33:33.000 have to do this on September twenty seven? This is 0:33:33.040 --> 0:33:35.640 what the fans want to hear, I think. And it's 0:33:35.680 --> 0:33:38.160 a valid question, it really like, based on the way 0:33:38.240 --> 0:33:40.280 the season has started, it's a completely valid question. I 0:33:40.320 --> 0:33:42.800 don't remember too soon, but I don't remember if it 0:33:42.920 --> 0:33:45.320 was the show that you might not have been here, 0:33:45.400 --> 0:33:47.440 but we talked about it, like, I don't have to 0:33:47.520 --> 0:33:49.720 have an answer to that question in weekly here, And 0:33:49.840 --> 0:33:51.880 I'm not I'm not trying to cop out when I 0:33:51.960 --> 0:33:55.240 say that because I have no problem saying the Cowboys 0:33:55.320 --> 0:33:57.960 need to get a new quarterback. If we go through 0:33:58.000 --> 0:34:00.760 this season and Dak continue used to look like this, 0:34:01.040 --> 0:34:04.880 but it's week four. We have seen him play well. 0:34:05.280 --> 0:34:09.239 It not recently, he's been very bad. That's it. It's 0:34:09.280 --> 0:34:11.320 almost a relief this season because I think back to 0:34:11.400 --> 0:34:14.400 twenty fifteen, You're like, Romo's out, what are we gonna do? Like, 0:34:14.440 --> 0:34:16.479 we gotta trade for Castle, we gotta like we gotta 0:34:16.520 --> 0:34:19.920 tread water. Uh. If Dak keeps playing like this, that 0:34:20.120 --> 0:34:23.680 that's it. Like I'm not trying to salvage the season. 0:34:24.360 --> 0:34:26.680 If this is what it looks like for sixteen games, 0:34:26.880 --> 0:34:29.279 you're talking probably blow it up, in my opinion. So 0:34:30.640 --> 0:34:33.400 this is a you got thirteen games to audition. This 0:34:33.520 --> 0:34:37.520 guy left and hopefully he rises to the challenge. Maybe not, 0:34:37.800 --> 0:34:40.000 And it'll definitely be time to talk about that if 0:34:40.040 --> 0:34:42.800 this keeps up for three more months, thirteen games to go. 0:34:44.360 --> 0:34:49.480 If thirteen stakes Also, if you want y'all think I'm 0:34:49.560 --> 0:34:52.400 I mean, y'all agree with me? Yeah, I definitely agree 0:34:52.400 --> 0:34:54.640 with you. I mean, I understand that's what the fans 0:34:54.719 --> 0:34:57.560 one they watch, you know, cousins and uh and uh 0:34:57.760 --> 0:35:00.320 and golf just go back and forth like that and 0:35:00.600 --> 0:35:02.719 they think, you know, wow, it would be nice to 0:35:02.760 --> 0:35:06.000 have an offense like that. But um, if it continues 0:35:06.080 --> 0:35:07.800 this trend, yeah, I think I think you're gonna do that. 0:35:07.800 --> 0:35:09.480 If it continues this trend, it's also going to be 0:35:09.480 --> 0:35:11.680 about five and eleven or six and ten. So you're 0:35:11.680 --> 0:35:13.960 picking at a spot where where you would definitely do that, 0:35:14.080 --> 0:35:16.280 and you're picking for a coach in an offensive coordinator 0:35:16.360 --> 0:35:21.479 that's not here yet. That's fact. Bason Garrett would telling 0:35:21.480 --> 0:35:24.359 you that probably, well, I'm not gonna go he takes 0:35:24.400 --> 0:35:26.319 a data. Oh, we don't think about that. But I'm 0:35:26.320 --> 0:35:30.160 just saying, um, if what we see right now continues 0:35:30.200 --> 0:35:33.160 to play out exactly, yeah, But I'll say the flip 0:35:33.200 --> 0:35:36.120 side of that, if we see better than that, if 0:35:36.160 --> 0:35:39.080 we see him actually get into a groove, which last year, 0:35:39.239 --> 0:35:41.719 let's be honest, this this offense has some struggles last 0:35:41.760 --> 0:35:44.479 year at certain points, and it was about maybe week 0:35:44.719 --> 0:35:47.400 five four somewhere in there with offense actually got on 0:35:47.480 --> 0:35:49.640 a little bit of a streak there and started playing 0:35:49.760 --> 0:35:52.759 pretty decent, right, I mean, was that the Rams game. 0:35:52.920 --> 0:35:55.399 I honestly believe Derek the first five or six weeks 0:35:55.440 --> 0:35:58.160 of the season, they had twenty eight points in every game. Yeah, 0:35:58.440 --> 0:36:01.160 and that carried over I think for the and Denver 0:36:01.400 --> 0:36:05.040 was the game that was the anomaly today. So I guess, 0:36:05.080 --> 0:36:07.080 I guess, I guess my point. I guess my point 0:36:07.200 --> 0:36:10.120 is that we've seen just last year there were some 0:36:10.239 --> 0:36:12.520 moments that Dad had that I thought were pretty good. 0:36:12.640 --> 0:36:15.719 So if Dad can get back to that and kind 0:36:15.760 --> 0:36:18.200 of write this ship, because I don't want to write 0:36:18.280 --> 0:36:19.919 him off yet, And that's the reason why I would 0:36:19.920 --> 0:36:24.200 answer that question no right now, because I've seen I've 0:36:24.239 --> 0:36:26.560 kind of seen these two different times. I've seen I've 0:36:26.560 --> 0:36:29.200 seen a pretty good quarterback. I've seen a really bad quarterback. 0:36:29.480 --> 0:36:31.399 So I don't know what to think. It goes back 0:36:31.400 --> 0:36:32.759 to my original point earlier. I don't know what to 0:36:32.800 --> 0:36:35.080 think right now about this team. If he can write 0:36:35.120 --> 0:36:37.320 the ship, then no, I'm not looking for a quarterback 0:36:37.360 --> 0:36:39.680 next year. If he doesn't and he continues to play 0:36:39.719 --> 0:36:42.160 as he's played these first three games, then absolutely I'm 0:36:42.200 --> 0:36:48.000 looking which is why it's borderline irresponsible slash stupid to 0:36:48.160 --> 0:36:50.759 try to well not No, we can absolutely talk about it. 0:36:50.840 --> 0:36:54.239 I mean that's we're Yeah, it's a it's a relevant topic, 0:36:54.320 --> 0:36:56.200 but like to try to make up your mind in 0:36:56.360 --> 0:36:59.759 week before we've even played Week four. That's dumb and 0:36:59.840 --> 0:37:02.560 that and that's why, you know, even if Dak keeps 0:37:02.600 --> 0:37:06.080 playing this poorly into November, I'm not I'm not even 0:37:06.160 --> 0:37:08.600 interested in benching him. I want to see Cooper rush 0:37:08.640 --> 0:37:11.560 for like that. That ain't the answer either, no offense 0:37:11.640 --> 0:37:14.200 to Cooper rush. But I want to make sure, beyond 0:37:14.239 --> 0:37:16.680 the shadow of a doubt, that Dak is or isn't 0:37:16.719 --> 0:37:18.960 the guy, so that I know what I need to 0:37:19.040 --> 0:37:20.440 do in the spring. I want to come out of 0:37:20.480 --> 0:37:23.320 this season knowing definitively one way or the other what 0:37:23.480 --> 0:37:26.520 I think. I'm gonna play this thing out. Keep harping 0:37:26.640 --> 0:37:29.840 on this, but if he is not this great quarterback, 0:37:29.880 --> 0:37:31.719 if there's a doubt at all, that means the team 0:37:31.760 --> 0:37:33.799 didn't do that well, and the team didn't do that well, 0:37:33.880 --> 0:37:36.719 then the guy's making the decision or not here yet. 0:37:37.160 --> 0:37:39.840 So it all you know, you're gonna have a different 0:37:39.920 --> 0:37:42.480 type of offense and a different coach and a different philosophy. 0:37:42.719 --> 0:37:45.320 Maybe he really does fit into that, maybe he doesn't 0:37:45.360 --> 0:37:48.000 fit in it at all. So I think there's another 0:37:48.120 --> 0:37:50.359 step to this that we're forgetting, and I will throw 0:37:50.440 --> 0:37:53.920 this into like we're talking really definitively. There are shades 0:37:53.920 --> 0:37:56.480 of gray here. There's a real possibility you get to 0:37:56.520 --> 0:37:58.040 the end of this season and you're like, I still 0:37:58.080 --> 0:38:00.560 don't really know, because there was some weeks, some stret 0:38:00.760 --> 0:38:04.400 straight streaks of weeks where he looked really good, and 0:38:04.520 --> 0:38:06.520 then it was like there were other weeks when he 0:38:06.640 --> 0:38:08.440 looked really bad. So you may come out of this 0:38:08.560 --> 0:38:10.839 year and still not have a definitive answer on whether 0:38:10.880 --> 0:38:12.360 you think he can really play and he should be 0:38:12.600 --> 0:38:14.359 out the future, and it leaves to you at that point. 0:38:14.680 --> 0:38:16.759 If let's say we were at that point right there 0:38:16.800 --> 0:38:19.480 and you're still kind of okay, we've seen good moments 0:38:19.560 --> 0:38:22.879 from him, but we've also seen bad moments. At that point, 0:38:23.040 --> 0:38:25.600 where are you at him? Are you willing to kind 0:38:25.640 --> 0:38:28.399 of keep it going and maybe give him another year 0:38:28.520 --> 0:38:32.440 see how he goes or how many every because I've 0:38:32.480 --> 0:38:36.560 seen I've seen, I've seen how Lena gets. When I'll 0:38:36.560 --> 0:38:38.400 put it to you like this, if he's up and 0:38:38.520 --> 0:38:41.839 down and the Cowboys managed too, you know, I don't 0:38:41.840 --> 0:38:44.960 know if the Cowboys managed to get meaningful number of wins. 0:38:45.000 --> 0:38:47.320 And when I say meaningful, I mean nine plus and 0:38:47.480 --> 0:38:49.680 he's up and down. Then I think you have to 0:38:49.760 --> 0:38:53.640 start thinking is it enough if you surround him with 0:38:53.719 --> 0:38:57.239 the right pieces and continue to develop, is it enough? 0:38:57.320 --> 0:38:59.399 Because what you don't want to do is you don't 0:38:59.400 --> 0:39:01.960 want to go back having no quarterback that you've been 0:39:02.040 --> 0:39:03.680 there before. Yeah, you want to go back to having 0:39:03.719 --> 0:39:07.279 no quarterback. So you have to kind of evaluate for 0:39:07.400 --> 0:39:09.200 what I have. Do I think if I give it 0:39:09.239 --> 0:39:11.960 a little bit more support, it can get me there? 0:39:12.520 --> 0:39:14.560 Or is this just so bad that I have to 0:39:14.640 --> 0:39:17.120 start Just remember, I mean, the Browns drafted the quarterback 0:39:17.239 --> 0:39:20.319 number one overall and didn't expect to play him right 0:39:20.360 --> 0:39:22.479 away and didn't play him right away. The Chiefs draft 0:39:22.520 --> 0:39:24.560 to the guy eleventh overall that might be where the 0:39:24.640 --> 0:39:27.160 Cowboys will be around, and they didn't even play him 0:39:27.200 --> 0:39:30.359 at all his first year. So just because it's like, man, 0:39:30.520 --> 0:39:32.560 DA's pretty I mean, because but they knew Kansas City 0:39:32.600 --> 0:39:35.160 Alex Smith wasn't gonna be their guy forever, but he 0:39:35.239 --> 0:39:37.400 was pretty good right now. That might be the situation. 0:39:37.600 --> 0:39:39.520 So because Dad still does have another year after this 0:39:39.600 --> 0:39:41.759 year on his contract right now, that's just never been 0:39:41.880 --> 0:39:44.279 Jerry's style. That doesn't mean you can't change it. But 0:39:44.400 --> 0:39:46.439 Jerry's always been at the point of like he wants 0:39:46.480 --> 0:39:49.600 that first round pick to play, and it's just never 0:39:49.719 --> 0:39:52.320 been a situation where you're like, you draft a quarterback 0:39:52.440 --> 0:39:54.600 like that and kind of wait and then when it's time, 0:39:54.680 --> 0:39:56.799 it's time. So we'll just draft him in the second 0:39:56.840 --> 0:40:00.440 thing because they have no problem with that wait on 0:40:00.560 --> 0:40:04.480 him all right. Last question, Should the Cowboys sign wide 0:40:04.560 --> 0:40:08.680 receiver Richard Matthews from the Titans? He is more of 0:40:08.760 --> 0:40:12.040 what they already have him. Yeh, that's this isn't about 0:40:12.080 --> 0:40:14.359 the receivers. These receivers can get open to make plays. 0:40:14.400 --> 0:40:16.400 If they had a guy, they could do it, you know, 0:40:17.760 --> 0:40:19.880 you know, get him the football and all that. I 0:40:19.960 --> 0:40:21.799 don't really think another guy, I mean, I don't even 0:40:21.880 --> 0:40:24.239 think we said. I don't think Calvin Ridley drafted him 0:40:24.280 --> 0:40:28.320 helps you that much. There's probably like Michael Thomas and 0:40:28.360 --> 0:40:31.200 Antonio Brown, like if you can get them here, Okay, 0:40:31.320 --> 0:40:33.799 but I don't sure. No, I know what I'm saying 0:40:33.880 --> 0:40:37.279 is no, no, he's not. No disrespect to him. I 0:40:37.320 --> 0:40:39.400 don't think he's the caliber of receiver that's going to 0:40:39.520 --> 0:40:43.239 drastically change. Yeah, he is that right in there in 0:40:43.280 --> 0:40:46.520 that middle tier of receivers that and given the right situation, 0:40:46.640 --> 0:40:48.399 can have a big game for you, a nice game 0:40:48.440 --> 0:40:49.800 for you, right. I mean that's what he is, and 0:40:49.880 --> 0:40:52.160 so I don't think he's He doesn't drastically change what 0:40:52.239 --> 0:40:55.480 your wide receiver position looks like. I agree. Okay, game 0:40:55.600 --> 0:41:01.520 day predictions. I think the Cups will win. I think 0:41:01.560 --> 0:41:03.600 they win thirty to twenty one. They're gonna score that. 0:41:03.719 --> 0:41:05.719 This is gonna be the most scoring that we've seen 0:41:05.760 --> 0:41:07.680 out of them. They will get a defensive touchdown, so 0:41:07.760 --> 0:41:09.680 that's gonna be some of that, but they'll have a 0:41:09.960 --> 0:41:12.680 lot more offense that will play better. Zeke's gonna play 0:41:12.719 --> 0:41:15.040 really well. They'll get around, They're gonna get some turnovers. 0:41:15.120 --> 0:41:17.040 It's gonna be one of those games I expect. I 0:41:17.080 --> 0:41:19.319 don't know. I've just seen it noon games at home. 0:41:19.480 --> 0:41:21.080 I think I said it last year with the Rams. 0:41:21.160 --> 0:41:23.680 But this is the type of game that they win. 0:41:23.960 --> 0:41:26.040 And remember the Lions of the Lions. There always will 0:41:26.080 --> 0:41:28.640 going to be the Lions. So yeah, great win beat 0:41:28.680 --> 0:41:31.319 the Patriots. That's awesome. Matt Patricia, he won his little 0:41:31.360 --> 0:41:33.800 super Bowl. He get it. But they're gonna be the 0:41:33.880 --> 0:41:39.600 Lions used to say that about the Eagles, too. Okay, yeah, 0:41:40.800 --> 0:41:43.400 never know, you never know. Yeah, prove me wrong, win 0:41:43.440 --> 0:41:45.840 a super Bowl. Stafford still doesn't have a winning record. 0:41:45.920 --> 0:41:49.040 He's he's Stafford's great arm, golden boy, blah blah blah. Heal, 0:41:49.040 --> 0:41:56.560 He'll throw it to you. Okay, Dave, I saw it. Well. 0:41:56.680 --> 0:41:59.160 I think they're gonna win, which like it's it's funny, 0:41:59.560 --> 0:42:01.920 it really is. Like it's a gut feeling. Like I 0:42:02.040 --> 0:42:03.799 had a feeling all last week they were gonna lose 0:42:03.840 --> 0:42:05.640 to Seattle just from the very gate. I was like, 0:42:06.280 --> 0:42:09.040 but even as bad as they looked on Sunday, I 0:42:09.200 --> 0:42:11.000 have a good feeling about this game. So the worst 0:42:11.080 --> 0:42:14.760 rushing defense in the league, don't overthink this. Ezekiel Elliott 0:42:14.760 --> 0:42:19.239 should have a good day. Matt Stafford's gonna find a 0:42:19.239 --> 0:42:21.040 way to give you the ball. And I also think 0:42:21.360 --> 0:42:24.040 the Lions will have yards. I think they don't score 0:42:24.080 --> 0:42:26.200 that many points. For how impressive their offense look, they 0:42:26.239 --> 0:42:28.560 only score twenty four points a game. I think you 0:42:28.640 --> 0:42:30.560 can force them to settle for a couple of field goals, 0:42:30.840 --> 0:42:34.600 get a takeaway. Think the Cowboys win like twenty seven 0:42:34.640 --> 0:42:37.360 to twenty three. I don't think that they're gonna look amazing, 0:42:37.440 --> 0:42:39.359 Like I still think the offense is gonna look kind 0:42:39.400 --> 0:42:42.480 of well. But run the ball. You can win at home, 0:42:43.200 --> 0:42:48.239 all right. I actually I'm so torn on this team, 0:42:48.280 --> 0:42:50.759 but I actually think they win, mainly because what I 0:42:50.840 --> 0:42:53.880 keep going back to is under Garrett, this is the 0:42:54.040 --> 0:42:55.680 kind of stuff they do a lot where they have 0:42:55.800 --> 0:42:58.160 one week it's good, and then they lose, and then 0:42:58.200 --> 0:43:00.920 they win, and then they lose, and so they did 0:43:01.000 --> 0:43:03.480 just enough to keep you on the right and then 0:43:03.520 --> 0:43:05.080 you get to the end of the season. It's always 0:43:05.160 --> 0:43:07.560 kind of right there. It's rare that this team under 0:43:07.640 --> 0:43:10.719 Garrett is not playing for something with two weeks left 0:43:10.880 --> 0:43:13.040 or one week left. Right this is there. This is 0:43:13.080 --> 0:43:15.759 the twelfth time a Garrett team has been one game 0:43:15.840 --> 0:43:20.080 below five hundred. He's nine and two in those eleven games. 0:43:20.360 --> 0:43:22.279 So I kind of have a feeling with them being 0:43:22.360 --> 0:43:25.120 at home, and I think that I would I would 0:43:25.120 --> 0:43:27.239 feel a lot different if the Lions were and three. 0:43:27.400 --> 0:43:31.399 I really would. I think them beating the Patriots last week, 0:43:31.480 --> 0:43:34.400 which anytime a team in the NFL beats the Patriots, 0:43:34.560 --> 0:43:38.280 they feel really good about themselves. I think the Cowboys 0:43:38.440 --> 0:43:41.080 losing last week. The way that they played, I think 0:43:41.160 --> 0:43:43.920 forces them to reevaluate some things, and so when you 0:43:43.960 --> 0:43:46.080 start comparing all those things, I think this is a 0:43:46.120 --> 0:43:47.719 week where the Cowboys get it. I don't know that 0:43:47.760 --> 0:43:50.680 it's necessarily gonna look a lot better, but I do 0:43:50.840 --> 0:43:52.640 think somehow the Cowboys find a way to win. I 0:43:52.680 --> 0:43:54.279 don't think it's going to be a high scoring game. 0:43:54.680 --> 0:43:56.719 I don't think the Cowboys score ton more points than 0:43:56.719 --> 0:43:59.040 they normally than they normally have this season. I think 0:43:59.040 --> 0:44:00.480 at the end of the day is still twenty one 0:44:00.640 --> 0:44:04.799 seventeen victory. But I just think that's I think that's 0:44:04.840 --> 0:44:06.800 probably gonna be the story of this season, is that 0:44:06.880 --> 0:44:09.680 there's gonna be these kind of win loss, win, loss, win, lost, 0:44:09.719 --> 0:44:12.560 back and forth. I don't I haven't seen anything yet 0:44:12.600 --> 0:44:15.279 that suggests to me that I can figure out how 0:44:15.320 --> 0:44:18.200 they're gonna be able to sustain those wins with the 0:44:18.280 --> 0:44:20.120 schedule that they have and with the way that they're 0:44:20.120 --> 0:44:24.120 playing offensively. All right, calling the dub Garcia, I think 0:44:24.160 --> 0:44:27.040 they win, and just for the same exact reason that 0:44:27.360 --> 0:44:30.040 Derek said. They just to me they're gonna do just 0:44:30.320 --> 0:44:32.920 enough to keep you there and keep you wondering Okay, 0:44:33.040 --> 0:44:35.680 can we actually make it or not? We'll see, but 0:44:35.880 --> 0:44:38.399 I think they get this w if A twenty four 0:44:38.800 --> 0:44:44.600 seventeen instead.
