I mean, Charlie Waters was not 0:01:12.720 --> 0:01:15.880 a groomsman in Beam's wedding, So I get it. Terence Newman, 0:01:15.920 --> 0:01:18.319 who was a great football player for a long time, 0:01:18.760 --> 0:01:23.319 fifteen years, long time. Yeah, Kareem Laramore. Man, that was 0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:25.640 did he just like that? Was that one of your 0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:28.160 just favorite guys or something? Yeah? Yeah, he actually was, 0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:31.600 because you know, my school, um is a Division two 0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:34.720 school Midwestern State, and they he played Division two football 0:01:34.720 --> 0:01:36.880 against him, West Trucks's A and M, and he was like, 0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:39.720 he was an athletic dude. I mean all you have 0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:42.279 to watch this. There's a preseason game against the Saints 0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:44.039 where he just they just rid a little one yard 0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:46.199 out route to the goal line and he said, no, thanks, 0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:49.440 ninety nine to the house he had. He just couldn't 0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:52.720 get his life going right then and all that, but 0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:55.320 definitely that talent. Yeah. Did he play for the Desperado 0:01:55.440 --> 0:01:59.160 He did. Desperados covering him there, that's him. Yeah, yeah 0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:01.960 he was. He was definitely an athlete, just a Kareem Larmore. 0:02:02.160 --> 0:02:05.000 Pat Dennis remember him? Yeah, I do. Forty one? Yeah 0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:09.239 what about now? The whole time you've been talking, I've 0:02:09.240 --> 0:02:11.440 just been like, I don't think there's been a forty 0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:13.720 one of note in the time that I've covered the team. 0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:15.680 I don't even know if there's been one period, not 0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:19.639 even like a practice squad. Go oh now I feel bad. 0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:22.640 Keith Smith my guy. He wore forty one days. Hey, 0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:26.160 time flies when you're having fun. I love I love 0:02:26.280 --> 0:02:31.280 Keith last year, which did you see it? To my point, 0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:34.200 and he played two snaps last year. I remember so 0:02:34.280 --> 0:02:36.400 your consternation because you didn't like the fact that they 0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:39.440 weren't at least when I when I when they first 0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:41.320 got we got into the locker room at the stadium, 0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:43.280 at the new AT and T Stadium at the time. 0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:46.320 You know, they like had they had all the players 0:02:46.400 --> 0:02:50.120 up there and they said Charles Waters. And I was like, no, 0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:52.799 this doesn't work. Like I had to like finally get 0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:55.280 somebody to get someone, and they finally like redid it 0:02:55.360 --> 0:02:56.760 up in the press in the you know, in the 0:02:56.800 --> 0:03:00.200 locker room. Yeah, it said like it's just said Charles Water. 0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:03.000 So I was like this, this isn't working. Like Charlie, Charlie, 0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:05.680 I'll tell you shouts out because a good dude beef. 0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:09.320 Yeah sorry sorry, he's still going, like yeah, still going. 0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:14.640 Started playing fullback at in Atlanta College college safety life. 0:03:14.680 --> 0:03:18.079 I just on and off the price. Let me say 0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:21.880 something about Terrence Newman. You know, the fear about him 0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:24.880 was he's twenty five years old, like he's an old player, like, 0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:28.200 should we draft them? He played fifteen years? Yeah, I 0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:30.600 think he's okay, he's okay. I remember it wasn't a 0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:32.760 guy that was injured a lot. He told me one time. 0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:35.400 I remember him saying, you know, everyone said all that, Well, 0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:37.400 in ten years, I'll be thirty five and I'll still 0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:39.120 be a better athlete than all of these people. And 0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:41.640 I'm like, yeah, I probably will, and he was, Yeah. 0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:44.920 Brought us used to every anytime on any episode of 0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:47.200 the Draft Show, when a guy's age comes up, he's like, 0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:49.280 and he can never just say the name. He's like, 0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:51.400 whyon't you tell that to that number twenty three up 0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:55.080 in Minnesota who's still starting games. Yeah, yes, I heard 0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:57.600 a lot about that about number forty one played about 0:03:57.600 --> 0:03:59.880 twelve years here. Now maybe we should shut up about 0:03:59.880 --> 0:04:03.360 the uh anyway, forty one, which like about us? All right, 0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:05.800 let's go. Let's talk a little bit about injuries. Zero 0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:08.480 Lots of guys that are on this injury report and 0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:11.840 some that are kind of interesting. Demante CAZy, he has 0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:15.960 a hip injury, did not practice yesterday. What do we 0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:18.680 know about him and his potential status for Sunday? He 0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:22.240 was feeling it Monday Uh, he was still feeling it 0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:24.480 Wednesday when practice was starting to get ramped up. They 0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:27.680 were like, no, don't do that. Um, McCarthy thinks he's 0:04:27.720 --> 0:04:32.960 gonna rehab today, classic something. Keep an eye on. He's 0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:35.640 a vet player. He probably can't will be. I mean 0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:37.520 if he feels right, I'm sure he can go without 0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:40.520 a lot of practice. It's just something to watch. Tag 0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:45.320 you're in man, Yeah, Donovan Wilson or Well, well is it? 0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:48.840 I think it's probably more Malie Hooker. Well, I'm just saying. 0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:54.000 I'm just saying here's another Yeah, Donovan is practicing. That 0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:56.599 seems like a good sign. Yeah, it's true. I meant 0:04:56.640 --> 0:04:58.880 from a Rosters day, Yeah, I got you, I got you. 0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:01.960 Donovan was limited yesterday. What are you thinking that there's 0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:04.400 a good chance he can play this weekend? I don't know. 0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:07.400 I want to see YEA, at some point, when you've 0:05:07.400 --> 0:05:09.120 been gone for so long, you got to get back 0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:11.520 to full. I mean, you can't just be limited. Yeah. Yeah, 0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:13.080 that's not one of those things where you don't practice 0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:14.840 all weekend then you just jump out. He's been out. 0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:17.440 Is not the place to go full for the first time. 0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:19.160 He's been out for a month. I want to. I mean, 0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:21.839 if he upgrades to full today, then I'd be willing 0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:24.520 to say like, yeah, okay, But if he's they might 0:05:24.560 --> 0:05:27.200 just be saying, all right, get some reps and you'll 0:05:27.200 --> 0:05:29.159 get acclimated and then we'll have the bye week and 0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:31.440 then you can go full after the bye week. So 0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:33.880 we'll just we'll have to see. Yep. Let's talk about 0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:36.840 Treyvon Diggs. He has an ankle injury, did not practice yesterday. 0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:39.320 What do we think at It's not thought to be 0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:43.200 significant per Mike McCarthy. He dinged it in the game. 0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:47.960 He's gonna try to He's gonna try to go limited today. 0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:50.440 That man, I think that's a classic case of like, 0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:53.160 let's be smart with our stars. And I think he'll play. 0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:57.440 Same thing with Zeke Elliott Ribbs. Yes, yeah, Zeke's gonna play. Yeah, 0:05:57.760 --> 0:05:59.440 And he was limited yesterday. On top of that, he 0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:02.479 was this week. It was interesting you listen to Jerry 0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:05.280 talking about that on the fan and you could tell 0:06:05.320 --> 0:06:07.400 that he wasn't really happy with the fact that there 0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:09.640 was something on the field that his player could land on. 0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:12.200 He was like, you know, the league actually takes a 0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:14.800 lot of time thinking about what is available of what 0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:17.479 is on the field that players can run into, and 0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:19.720 the fact that this was there, like there's a that's 0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:23.039 a problem, you know, So I don't see what this goes. Yeah, 0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:27.320 it seems I mean I I yeah, there's a camera 0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:29.120 in it, Like I said, I assume it's there, so 0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:31.039 you can see if a guy got a first down 0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:34.240 or not. But but it's not consistent. You don't always 0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:36.800 see that in all the games. No, you don't, you know, 0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:39.400 I mean maybe is it just the game of the week, 0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:41.200 the Fox game, you know what I mean, Like, it's 0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:43.239 not in every you don't see that on every first 0:06:43.240 --> 0:06:46.680 down marker. I don't think you do. No, not that 0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:51.040 I'm aware of. So I mean, you you love having it, 0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:53.080 you know, late in the game you need you need 0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:55.240 to you know, you need to know if he got 0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:57.480 the ball there. I mean think about the game. Was 0:06:57.520 --> 0:07:00.320 it seventeen where they had to put a card to 0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:03.480 see if he's there? Yeah, you know that Raiders game? 0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:06.200 Remember that? I mean, like the most surreal moment ever 0:07:06.640 --> 0:07:09.560 that that was. That was unbelieving, which I mean, it's 0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:10.960 just I don't know who he thinks that, Like, I 0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:14.040 don't worry where he finally came to conclusion, oh, where's 0:07:14.040 --> 0:07:16.680 my car. It's just further proof of how stupid this 0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:19.320 whole thing is. And again, I mean Mike McCarthy. If 0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:21.440 I really know anything about him, it's how much he 0:07:21.520 --> 0:07:24.560 loves GPS. He talks about it all the time. They 0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:26.960 can see how many steps you take in a given 0:07:27.040 --> 0:07:29.120 day and how much they need to alter your workload 0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:32.320 because of it. We can chip the damn ball and 0:07:32.400 --> 0:07:35.280 see like, oh, did the ball reached the edge of 0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:37.120 the thirty eight yard line. That's a first down and 0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:39.960 should be known instantaneous. We can just we could get 0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:42.920 rid of like thirty percent of the clutter on the sidelines, 0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:45.720 which should we do that for touchdowns? So just like hockey, 0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:47.800 like if he just gets in, just I would love 0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:51.560 that's absolutely right, Like you should know that we have it. 0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:54.480 And then we're all having arguments about whether the forward 0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:56.880 progress was there or if he got thrown back, and 0:07:56.920 --> 0:07:59.520 everyone's like, those are out of the horn, went off town. 0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:03.600 It's fun. Yeah, I love it all right, So let's 0:08:03.600 --> 0:08:06.000 do this. We're gonna take our first break a little 0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:07.840 early here, but we're gonna take our first back when 0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:09.280 we come back. We'll be joined by Bucky Brooks of 0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:12.200 NFL Network're gonna talk about this new England Patriots defense 0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:14.760 versus the Cowboys offensive when we come right back.

We're joined right 0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:46.400 now by Bucky Brooks of NFL Network. Bucky, Welcome to 0:10:46.440 --> 0:10:48.480 the show today. Let's first start off with the fact 0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:51.880 that this new England defense they're they're kind of interesting. 0:10:51.920 --> 0:10:53.640 When you look at the numbers. They're fifth right now 0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:56.360 in total defense, they're fifth and points allowed with only 0:10:56.600 --> 0:10:59.600 giving up ninety two over five games. What's the strength 0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:04.920 of this defense? It's a total defense. In the scheme, 0:11:04.960 --> 0:11:07.800 they do a great job of playing team defense. It's 0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:10.720 not a collection of stars, but the players fit the 0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:12.760 scheme and the coaches do a really good job of 0:11:13.360 --> 0:11:15.520 conveying to them how they want to play each and 0:11:15.559 --> 0:11:18.120 every week. Some games it's the game where they don't 0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:20.440 mind the team going from twenty to twenties, and they 0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:23.079 focus on being great in the red zone. Other games 0:11:23.080 --> 0:11:25.880 just about heating up the quarterbacks. Then they're taking boys turnovers. 0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:29.760 This is just a very sound defense that doesn't beat themselves, 0:11:29.760 --> 0:11:34.000 and so it takes a very patient and deliberate offensive 0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:37.200 effort to really light them up on the scoreboard. Bucky, 0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:40.719 Do the Pats have the guts to play man up 0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:42.839 on the Cowboys the way that they have? I think 0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:45.400 I read that they've been playing man coverage more than 0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:49.000 anybody in the league so far. Are they equipped to 0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:52.800 do that? I mean, especially Gilmour's obviously not there anymore. 0:11:53.160 --> 0:11:55.559 Just I mean, are are they equipped to do that 0:11:55.640 --> 0:11:59.960 to this offense? Yeah, because this is what they do. 0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:01.960 They line up and played man to man more than 0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:05.520 anybody else. They're not afraid they play cover one. They 0:12:05.679 --> 0:12:08.360 vary who they put in the whole, meaning the cutter 0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:11.400 on crossing, rousing those things. But they're going to play 0:12:11.440 --> 0:12:13.160 a lot of man to man because that's what they do. 0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:15.400 It's the best coverage to play in National Football League 0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:17.400 because it allows you to put an extra defender in 0:12:17.440 --> 0:12:21.120 the box. You have tight coverage on everybody down the field. 0:12:21.440 --> 0:12:23.400 And this is what they believe in. So No, I 0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:25.400 don't think that they're going to worry about who Dallas 0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:27.760 has on the other side. They're gonna play man to man. Now, 0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:30.880 what they will do is they will vary what they 0:12:30.920 --> 0:12:34.080 call their brackets. Sometimes they may take the double team 0:12:34.080 --> 0:12:35.880 and put it on Amari Cooper. Other times they may 0:12:35.920 --> 0:12:38.400 put it on CD Lamb And you may never get 0:12:38.440 --> 0:12:40.960 a feel for who is being double team. But they're 0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:42.760 gonna play some form of man to man because it's 0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:45.760 the basis of their defense. And with all this coverage, 0:12:45.840 --> 0:12:48.040 is Dalton Schultz just gonna go to the Pro Bowl 0:12:48.120 --> 0:12:49.640 just because he's just got all that? I mean, no 0:12:49.679 --> 0:12:52.240 one's gonna ever just do a game plan for him 0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:54.000 and he just reaps all the benefits. I mean, do 0:12:54.040 --> 0:12:58.000 you think that's kind of where he's headed. I mean, 0:12:58.000 --> 0:13:00.040 he may be, But if you're Bill Belichick, that's what 0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:02.559 you want to do. The Patriots philosophy is to make 0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:05.719 you play left handed. And if Dalton shots can go 0:13:05.800 --> 0:13:08.440 for one hundred and fifty receiving yards, what Bill Belichick 0:13:08.440 --> 0:13:10.960 could do is walk across the field and you're safe. 0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:13.679 Mike McCarthy's hand. If the Dallas Cowboys win, because they 0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:16.120 played the way that the Patriots wanted them to play, 0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:18.960 and so what they typically do is they're going to 0:13:19.000 --> 0:13:22.040 take away your first option, your second option, and they're 0:13:22.080 --> 0:13:24.040 gonna make you beat you with the third option. And 0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:26.319 if that third option is good enough, they just come 0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:28.080 to chart it up and say it's your debt. On 0:13:28.280 --> 0:13:31.319 that note, that's been notoriously how they've played defense and 0:13:31.400 --> 0:13:34.880 been successful doing it. If you were advising him, what 0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:38.600 would you say, is the one or two people tactics 0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:40.960 whatever that you think you have to try to take 0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:45.280 away and force Dallas to beat you without. Well, one 0:13:45.280 --> 0:13:46.480 thing I want to do is I want to take 0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:50.440 away the explosive passing game this week because the quickest 0:13:50.480 --> 0:13:52.800 way for Dallas but points up is to air it out. 0:13:52.840 --> 0:13:54.680 So I don't want to Mary Cooper and Cede Lamb 0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:57.400 to go crazy in the passing game. If Ezekiel Elliot 0:13:57.480 --> 0:14:00.480 and Tony Poll are running, it's a slow burn. And 0:14:00.520 --> 0:14:02.160 I know that if they run it all the way 0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:04.320 down to the twenty, well, now I can tighten up 0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:06.760 and focus on that. So I am willing to concede 0:14:06.840 --> 0:14:09.760 the running game, but I'm taking away the passeng yards. 0:14:09.760 --> 0:14:12.360 I'm not letting the Cowboys get excited by seeing big 0:14:12.400 --> 0:14:14.920 players go over the top of the defense. I believe 0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:17.360 that's what the pages to do, because typically when they 0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:20.240 look at a team that's balanced like Dallas, they'll say, hey, 0:14:20.240 --> 0:14:22.080 we'll let them have the running yards because it's harder 0:14:22.080 --> 0:14:25.560 to score a ton of points when you're running the football. 0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:28.240 Can you do that effectively when you're running a cover one, 0:14:28.440 --> 0:14:31.160 especially in situations where that means like if they're moving 0:14:31.160 --> 0:14:34.280 the bracket that I mean, somebody's gonna be in one 0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:36.720 on one coverage, and obviously if Dallas is one on 0:14:36.720 --> 0:14:39.320 one coverage on the outside, they're probably gonna take some shots. 0:14:39.600 --> 0:14:45.760 Is that there is their strategy doesn't work with their scheme. Yeah, 0:14:45.760 --> 0:14:47.440 actually it does work with the scheme because here's what 0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:51.400 they'll do. They will take the best corner and put 0:14:51.440 --> 0:14:54.000 on the second best player. So let's say they deemed 0:14:54.000 --> 0:14:55.440 a Mark Coup to be in the number one and 0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:58.240 Cdee Lamb is number two. They may say JC Jackson 0:14:58.400 --> 0:15:01.640 say hey, you go take Ceedee Lamb will double team 0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:04.360 Ormari Cooper. So now we're going to force you to 0:15:04.400 --> 0:15:06.880 throw the Don Schotz or Blake Jordan because we got 0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:09.240 a double team on your number one our best corner 0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:12.400 should be better than your second best receiver. And now 0:15:12.440 --> 0:15:14.280 you're gonna have to play on the inside guys to 0:15:14.320 --> 0:15:16.520 find the matchup to win. And that'll be an interesting 0:15:16.520 --> 0:15:19.800 matchup because I think Calid's actually have two number one 0:15:19.920 --> 0:15:22.240 caliber wide receivers. That'll be interesting to see how that 0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:25.400 matches up. But day Buck, I know you know a 0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:27.720 lot of the talker and rightfully so. He's a good player. 0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:31.920 Is on Matthew Judon over there, but I'm curious, especially 0:15:31.960 --> 0:15:35.400 because he took a year off. How's Dante high Tower look? 0:15:35.440 --> 0:15:37.280 I mean, I think he's one of the most underrated 0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:39.880 defenders in the league over the last decade. Does he 0:15:40.040 --> 0:15:45.200 still look like that guy? I mean, he's a solid player. 0:15:45.240 --> 0:15:47.760 I wouldn't call him a blue chip player, a high 0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:50.360 end top ten talent at the position, but what he 0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:53.200 is is he's a rugged, veteran player. But the high 0:15:53.200 --> 0:15:55.440 I Q he and cal Van Nois do a good 0:15:55.480 --> 0:15:57.360 job of doing. If this was hockey, I would say 0:15:57.400 --> 0:15:59.480 they're the gooms, right, They're the guys to kind of 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:01.520 deliver the bit kids. They're the guys to kind of 0:16:01.520 --> 0:16:04.160 do the dirty work that needs to be done. Matt 0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:06.640 U John Doe is the guy, and then josh Ucha 0:16:07.120 --> 0:16:08.840 is the one that is coming on like game busses, 0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:12.680 giving them a little boost off the edge. Draft Show Baby, 0:16:13.680 --> 0:16:17.160 Michigan Wolverine. Let's go one more question for you before 0:16:17.200 --> 0:16:19.760 we before we let you go, are you content with 0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:22.680 what Beyondish is doing at center or do you think 0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:27.680 that we will see McGovern get some opportunities there at 0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:31.880 some point. Yeah, McGovern has to get some opportunities because 0:16:31.920 --> 0:16:34.000 right now, Beyondest is the weak link. And as you 0:16:34.040 --> 0:16:35.680 get down to it and you're building your team to 0:16:35.720 --> 0:16:39.040 get ready for a playoff run, everyone knows that Beyondish 0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:41.360 is the fish. He's the guy that you attack on 0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:43.680 the offensive line because he's having a tough time and 0:16:43.760 --> 0:16:47.000 a surprising that a kid from Wisconsin who exhales at 0:16:47.160 --> 0:16:49.440 run blocking is having such a tough time in both areas, 0:16:49.480 --> 0:16:52.040 but he is, and so at some point his performance 0:16:52.160 --> 0:16:53.760 is going to get him a spot on the bench. 0:16:53.960 --> 0:16:55.600 It's just a matter of time if he doesn't pick 0:16:55.600 --> 0:16:57.920 it up. Is this a week where the Patriots have 0:16:58.120 --> 0:17:01.080 someone there in the middle that could exploit be Honish? 0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:06.399 Not necessarily. I mean, they're guys, they don't have like 0:17:06.440 --> 0:17:08.960 Evince Willford like they used to have that they would 0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:10.680 put right over top of the head in the center 0:17:10.840 --> 0:17:12.479 and he would beat them up. So they don't they 0:17:12.480 --> 0:17:14.879 don't necessarily have that. But if you think about this 0:17:14.880 --> 0:17:16.920 team long term, because we're be going to hear the conversation, 0:17:17.000 --> 0:17:19.160 right Amari Cooper and those guys talking about the Super 0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:20.840 Bowl with the teams that you have to deal with 0:17:20.880 --> 0:17:23.720 are the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the LA Rams, and some 0:17:23.760 --> 0:17:26.520 of those teams that have dominant people on the inside. 0:17:26.840 --> 0:17:28.440 You gotta be able to have an answer because they're 0:17:28.440 --> 0:17:30.440 gonna put their best player over top of the center 0:17:30.640 --> 0:17:32.679 and beat them up, and it disrupts everything that you 0:17:32.720 --> 0:17:34.399 want to do in the run game and in the 0:17:34.440 --> 0:17:36.159 past game. All right, give us a prediction. What do 0:17:36.200 --> 0:17:40.320 you think is gonna happen on Sunday? Well, man, I'm 0:17:40.359 --> 0:17:42.639 banking on the Cowboys being mature enough to go here 0:17:42.680 --> 0:17:45.680 and hand their business. They're the favorite, and the thing 0:17:45.800 --> 0:17:47.960 is they have to work through the mystique of the Patriots. 0:17:48.119 --> 0:17:50.440 The Patriots aren't a great team, but if you don't 0:17:50.440 --> 0:17:52.440 play well, they're good enough to beat you. I think 0:17:52.440 --> 0:17:54.320 the Cowboys understand what's at stake. I think they find 0:17:54.320 --> 0:17:55.760 a way to get it done. All right, Bucky Man, 0:17:55.760 --> 0:17:58.080 we appreciate you. We'll see you next week. Actually it'll 0:17:58.080 --> 0:17:59.520 be the bye week, so actually we'll see the week 0:17:59.560 --> 0:18:01.800 after that at when the Cowboys start getting ready for 0:18:01.800 --> 0:18:03.920 the Minnesota Vikings. We're gonna take our final break and 0:18:03.960 --> 0:18:05.440 we come back. We got some questions for these guys. 0:18:05.440 --> 0:18:07.560 We've got some fan questions that I pulled from you 0:18:07.600 --> 0:18:09.800 guys off Twitter lasts. Ask these guys some of those 0:18:09.880 --> 0:18:11.520 questions when we do. We'll do that when we come 0:18:11.600 --> 0:18:14.640 right back. This is Dallas Cowboys dot Com Radio.
