15
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, Nick, everyone is once a year. That's

16
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: not true. I called you Nikki the other day and

17
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: you actually were okay with you, Like, Hey, what's up?

18
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:12,800

21
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 1: Let's talk football. How are you doing? You know, that's

22
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 1: the first time anybody's ever done it? Right, We don't

23
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: spend it back to you. Thank you. I'm feeling fine.

24
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: I don't care for whatever that's worth. I really did. Yeah. Right,

25
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 1: that's that's new and novel and different. All right, let's talk.

26
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the Cowboys. Let's get first into a

27
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: little bit news on DeMarcus Lawrence. Yesterday we heard found

28
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: out that he was a named Defensive Player of the

29
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: Week after his really good game last week versus the Cardinals.

30
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: And then today we find out nick Defensive Player of

31
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: the Month, Defensive Player of the month. They just keep

32
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: rolling in these awards. Don't you just see you're one

33
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: step away from Defensive Player of the year, are you?

34
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: I think he's a few steps away from defensive player

35
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: of the year. I mean weeks, months, year. Okay? You

36
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: are you? Is that what you're thinking is going to happen? Like?

37
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: Is that your hot take of the day. I mean

38
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: he's on paced, you know, for thirty five sacks in

39
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: the year, so the record is only twenty three twenty six.

40
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: So yeah, twenty six. Yeah, he's on face for that. No,

41
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know if he'll be a Defensive

42
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: Player of the Year, but we'll see. It's one of

43
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: those situations where like you're like, oh, he won Defensive

44
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: Player of the Week in the month, but like you

45
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: had the graphic made up for it yesterday because it's

46
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: that obvious. It's like, oh, what an honor. Of course

47
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: I am, but yeah, in other words, it wasn't made preseason,

48
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: Like this wasn't a graphic that was made preseason. Is

49
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 1: that what you're getting. No, I'm saying he's been so

50
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: damn good that we I mean, you know, Taylor and

51
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: Shannon hopefully had those graphics done way ahead of time,

52
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: because that mean it's obvious three sacks in a game

53
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: and three tackles for lost six point five sacks on

54
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,239
Speaker 1: the season really should be seven. But whatever, either way,

55
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: it's not shocking to hear, is what I'm trying to say. Yeah,

56
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,519
Speaker 1: good for him, really good for him, and hopefully he

57
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 1: can keep it up because the Cowboys really needed I

58
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: thought it was interesting yesterday when you guys made the

59
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: point that it's hard to find a unit on this

60
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: team that's better than the defensive line. And I think

61
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: obviously most of that, it's not hard. Good part is

62
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: about him. It's not hard to find it. You can't.

63
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: You can't objectively, with any basis of facts, say that

64
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: a unit on this team has been better than the

65
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,119
Speaker 1: defensive line. It's a good point. Yeah there, I mean,

66
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: they've been phenomenal. Well, I will say this, and as

67
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: I did think about it a little bit last night,

68
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: I still think you probably a part of them being

69
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: run on in Denver was about that defensive line as well. So,

70
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: as you said after the Denver game, you can't just

71
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: pooh pooh that and just act like that didn't happen.

72
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: That's a significant thing. But everybody else sucked in that

73
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: game too, So relatively speaking, yeah, yeah, they had a

74
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: bad just because everyone was so bad. They've been way

75
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: better when they've been good, and just as bad when

76
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:09,119
Speaker 1: they've been bad. Yeah, so they're better. All right, let's

77
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: get into some injury talk. Cowboys had I thought a

78
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: pretty positive injury report. Now, of course, yesterday was just

79
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 1: a walk through, glorified walkthrough, But Dave catch us up

80
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 1: on the injuries and who didn't practice and who did

81
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,919
Speaker 1: practice on a limited basis it is a walkthrough, So

82
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,679
Speaker 1: I can't stress enough how I mean, if you've seen

83
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 1: the video of the morning walkthroughs an ox Nard, that's

84
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 1: what it looked like. Like guys are wearing backward hats.

85
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: Guys are kind of like half jogging in position. Can't

86
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: stress enough? How not like a real practice this was.

87
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 1: But the most encouraging thing of this entire situation is

88
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: that Jordan Lewis isn't even on the injury report, which

89
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 1: means he's fine or that's what it should mean. Yeah,

90
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: So that's what I've got my eye on. If he's

91
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: not even on the injury report on Wednesday, then I

92
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 1: fully expect him to play on Sunday, which is huge.

93
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:04,840
Speaker 1: It's gigantic. Chittabey Woozier was limited, as was Nolan Carroll. Right,

94
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: feel better about Carroll since, I mean, I know that

95
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: your brain is super duper important, but it's not a

96
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 1: you know, a physical ailment that can hinder you from

97
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 1: moving around on a practice fields. And wouldn't you think

98
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:25,039
Speaker 1: with concussions, you're if you're even in a walkthrough, you

99
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: don't want him doing anything if they still are showing signs,

100
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: if you've been cleared to go out and do football

101
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: things on a field. I assume that that's a very

102
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: positive sign for your moving in the right direction. Whereas cheeto.

103
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: Hamstrings are tricky, it's hard to really say, yeah, um,

104
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: Sean Lee was a DNP, which is you know, take

105
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: that for what it's worth. He said yesterday that he

106
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: feels optimistic that this isn't as bad as some other

107
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: hamstring injuries that he's had, but you and that goes

108
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: back to the conversation we had about Odell Beckham that

109
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 1: he's one of those guys that if he can find

110
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,359
Speaker 1: a way, he's going to find a way and probably

111
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 1: shouldn't bet against him. But guy with an injury history

112
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,720
Speaker 1: like Sean Lee on short week's rest because of Monday

113
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: Night football, I me, personally, I'm leaning towards just like,

114
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: let's try to get through a game without him and

115
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: not risk him, you know, risk losing him for further

116
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: weeks just because of one game. It's a tough game

117
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,479
Speaker 1: to do it with that running back you're facing, but

118
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: sure is. But it's just it's just a thought that

119
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: I had when I saw that yesterday, I'm like, yeah,

120
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,600
Speaker 1: I don't know, I'd rather I'd rather not rush him

121
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: and have him healthy than try to wind up in

122
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: a situation where he's out for even more time. What

123
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: did they list Hitchens that he was limited? Hitchens's hitchensitive.

124
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,799
Speaker 1: Hitchens ran scout team yesterday. That's positive, right, Oh yeah

125
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: again walk through. But he was out there doing football things.

126
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: He was part of an eleven on eleven situation, which

127
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: is news. So I like, after the buy for him,

128
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,799
Speaker 1: I leaned toward that. Yeah, but I mean that's only

129
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,479
Speaker 1: two games away. That's not far and that's kind of

130
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: what the original thought was, that you kind of get

131
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: through the buy and then after that he should be back, right, Yeah,

132
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: I hope. So a linebacker situation looks we'll start looking

133
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: pretty good if if you can you know, if if

134
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: considering nothing would happen, I guess with Damien Wilson, I

135
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: can't imagine the NFL doing anything with that at this point.

136
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: But you know, with with you got Hitchings coming back,

137
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: Sean Lee and then obviously Jayalen Smith, just any kind

138
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: of rotation there, and they're starting to work Duran in

139
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: there a little bit more too. So a couple of

140
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: weeks ago, it looks really troublesome, but now it's getting better.

141
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: If they can get through this game with Sean Lee

142
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: or without him, or depending what happens. He's told a

143
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: few reporters in the locker room, he said, hamstrings, it's

144
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: one of those things. It's like neither it fires up

145
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: or it doesn't. I mean, it's not like it's you

146
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: can kind of limp around on it. I mean, if

147
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: it doesn't go for you, then you can't do anything.

148
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,679
Speaker 1: But he did, like Dave said, he said, I've had

149
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: worse ones than this. Yeah, And so I guess all

150
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: in all, when you look at the injury report, I

151
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 1: think there were a lot of positive things that the

152
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: Cowboys can at least be hopeful about moving forward. I

153
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 1: forgot to mention Stephen Pia sat out also. That's I

154
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: feel like that's just gonna be a thing that doesn't

155
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: completely go away for him. I've kind of put this

156
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: in the category of romo of you know Tyron Smith

157
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: last year, right. I just put this in the category

158
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 1: of it's one of those things where I just expect

159
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: to see Stephen pie on the injury list most of

160
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: the season, and if you don't, then then maybe that

161
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: means it that week he just feels great, but more

162
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 1: than likely just to manage him. It sounds like that's

163
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: going to be a normal thing, unless they and me speculating.

164
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: I don't know anything, but I guess they could sit

165
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: him down and do a Nyard thing, may designate him

166
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: to return if they wanted to, But as long as

167
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: he can keep managing it and playing every week, I

168
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: feel like they wouldn't want to do that. I guess.

169
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 1: Doesn't sound like this is something that's gonna go away.

170
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: It sounds like it's just thing. It's there, So I

171
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: don't know if I are necessary. If you signed him,

172
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: you kind of it. It's like a lot of football injuries,

173
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 1: like it would probably go away if you sat him

174
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: down for a couple of months to get it better.

175
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: But if he can, it's like, but wasn't this something

176
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 1: that he was struggling with in the past already? Right,

177
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 1: he had struggled with it in the past. But again,

178
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: it's kind of like it's like DeMarcus Lawrence's backs, Like

179
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 1: it's there and you could have surgery on it, or

180
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 1: you could do something with it to help it get better.

181
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: But if you can play, you're probably gonna play. I mean,

182
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: that's football really same thing. You know, you could sit

183
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,079
Speaker 1: Tyrn Smith down for a few weeks in his back

184
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 1: would probably feel a lot better thinking back to last year. Yeah,

185
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:38,839
Speaker 1: I I guess the point of what I'm saying, and

186
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: it sounds like what Amber's saying too, is that if

187
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 1: it's something that's a recurring thing that's been happening over time,

188
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,199
Speaker 1: even if you sit him down, you'll get temporary relief,

189
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 1: but as soon as you start playing again, it's probably

190
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: gonna start nagging again. So just kind of manage it.

191
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 1: And it sounds like they're just gonna manage it by

192
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: giving him more rest and hopefully by Sundays every week

193
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: he's ready to go. Yeah, I guess I just go

194
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,839
Speaker 1: back to thinking before he got here, he had a

195
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: whole offseason and it is still something that he's struggling with,

196
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: so and it might be a situation. We talked about

197
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 1: them needing roster spots for players, obviously for David Irving

198
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:14,839
Speaker 1: next week. That's where I was trying to go with that.

199
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: But Brian Price, oh, I was thinking you could move

200
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 1: Pie down if you if his injuries that bad to

201
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 1: make that spot. Well, I don't think that they would.

202
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: I don't think they would. But what I'm saying is

203
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 1: is that cutting price, you know, just because you need

204
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:33,839
Speaker 1: the spot. It's harder to get through a practice if

205
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: if Pie is not going to work with you every Wednesday.

206
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:37,679
Speaker 1: So I mean, I mean, guys, I got on a

207
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:42,959
Speaker 1: practice squad to play defensive tackle one Lewis Neil. I

208
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: don't think anyone would know that if they didn't go

209
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 1: to the College of choice. That is offensive and not

210
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: the practice. Lewis Neil kicked too much ascid training camp.

211
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: I know people to not know who he was, but

212
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 1: but you have to admit you know every single LSU

213
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:04,199
Speaker 1: play in the NFL. Honestly, I probably don't. There's so

214
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 1: many of them. Not yes, oh wow, there's so many

215
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: of them. They led the league. You probably know, right, Yes, Okay,

216
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: I'm a bit of a passionate LSU fan. I would

217
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: tell it a homer. But whatever it was like that

218
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: number might slow down a little bit. Maybe we'll see, um,

219
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 1: things aren't going well up there. Whatever. I'm just asking

220
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: Arkansas and Texas well, I'm asking I've never claimed that

221
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: things are going great in Austin. I'm just asking. You know,

222
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:34,599
Speaker 1: the jury's out right, Okay, Um, I think I could know.

223
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:36,959
Speaker 1: I know, I can't name the whole practice squad because

224
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 1: I haven't learned the name of the linebacker they just signed,

225
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: Aravon Williams him, I don't think, and um, there's an

226
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: offensive there's an offensive lineman they signed recently who I

227
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: never bothered to learn his name either. But I think

228
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 1: I got the other eight showers. Yeah, Jamil's back, Brian Brown,

229
00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: Lewis Neil. Um, I don't know the guys from camp. Well,

230
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: that's usually what you're practice seah, That's what I'm saying, Like,

231
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: those are guys you know, because you kind of saw

232
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,199
Speaker 1: him play those other guys. It's kind of like hard

233
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: to really Yeah, you're like, okay, i'la all right, let's

234
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 1: move on. Let's talk a little bit about the Cowboys

235
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,199
Speaker 1: offense versus the Rams defense. And Dave, I know you

236
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,199
Speaker 1: were gonna watch the game last night or watch some

237
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,319
Speaker 1: footage of this team last night and give us a

238
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 1: scouting reports. So what do you have? I did. I

239
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,079
Speaker 1: did watch the Rams defense on tape last night, and

240
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: my main impression really is I'm sick of here in

241
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:36,079
Speaker 1: the phrase three four defense, because I mean that's what

242
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: it is at the end of the day, but like,

243
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 1: that's not what it looks like when these guys play.

244
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 1: Like I watched the whole San Francisco game, so that's

245
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 1: I don't know, And it's forty one thirty nine games,

246
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 1: so you're talking about seventy something defensive snaps. They got

247
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 1: four or five and six guys down on the line

248
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:58,439
Speaker 1: like every snap. I mean, yeah, Aaron Donald Mike Brockers

249
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 1: are really like the key components of this. Like they're

250
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:03,439
Speaker 1: the two guys that you can count on to be

251
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: down every single snap, but they move all over the place.

252
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:11,439
Speaker 1: They play like Donald plays three technique, he plays one technique,

253
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 1: he plays five technique. Brockers plays zero technique, one technique,

254
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,199
Speaker 1: three technique, and five techniques. So they're lining up everywhere

255
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,559
Speaker 1: from the tackle to the guard to the center. You

256
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:25,719
Speaker 1: got Robert Quinn who plays wide wide. It's like that

257
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: outside linebacker, but his hands on the ground more often

258
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: than not. The same thing goes for Coon Curse type. Yeah,

259
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: same thing goes for Connor Barwin, Like he's the outside linebacker,

260
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 1: but he lines up as an end way more often

261
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 1: than anything else. And then you have alec Ogletree who

262
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: is within three feet of the ball damn near every snap,

263
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: Like he's basically another lineman. They got a couple of

264
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 1: he's basically blitzing every play. Is that what I'm gonna

265
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get into that. Yeah. Not if he's not blitzing,

266
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: he's just down near the line. And honestly, from what

267
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 1: I watched, again, I'm not rot us. I didn't watch

268
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 1: every game. I just watched last week, but he's a blitzer.

269
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: He's an extra pass rusher because he's sure in't anything

270
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: that impressed me in pass coverage, that's for sure, and

271
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: honestly as a run stopper for that matter. I'll get

272
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: more into that. The big takeaway that I came away with,

273
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: And maybe this shouldn't be surprising for Wade Phillips's. These

274
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: guys are really aggressive, super duper aggressive. Like again, this

275
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: is a three four front. They send five and six

276
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: man rushes all the time like a lot. Brockers and

277
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 1: Donald are awesome, and they beat their man more often

278
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: than not. I think if Donald doesn't beat his man

279
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 1: and get into the backfield, it's because he didn't want

280
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: to or that was not his assignment on that play.

281
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 1: Because he does it all the time with ease, and

282
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: I think the ease with which should they do it

283
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: actually works against them because I swear to God so

284
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: many times they like overran the play to the point

285
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: where Harlow's hide has three guys in his face right

286
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: here and he just kind of cuts to the left

287
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: and there's green grass over here. That seemed like it

288
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: happened all the time. Alec Ogletree, if he wasn't blitzing,

289
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: he's down near the line. He gave up a thirty

290
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: four yard gain down the seam to the fullback, the

291
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: guy with the goofy name that I can't pronounce U.

292
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 1: But the forty nine Ers signed him move the offseason

293
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: from Baltimore. You guys, aren't you know not you're tight end?

294
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: You said, fullback? Oh, fullback? The forty nine Ers gave

295
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: a lucrative contract to a fullback. It's like jurishnick or

296
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 1: it's a weird name, you're a vicious Nope, not right.

297
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: Gave up a thirty four yard gain just really, in

298
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 1: my opinion, did not look super amazing in coverage. Again,

299
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 1: like I feel like their whole strategy is to get

300
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: to the quarterback and if they don't. It's it's not

301
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: gonna be pretty, and it's kind of successful honestly, because

302
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 1: they got four sacks on Brian Hoyer. They forced him

303
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: into an intercept and on the first play of the game.

304
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: But okay, so so here here are the stats that

305
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 1: kind of back up what I'm trying to say. They're

306
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 1: twenty second in the league in yards per game. They're

307
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 1: allowing one hundred and forty rushing yards per game, two

308
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 1: hundred and five passing yards per game, and they're twenty

309
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 1: sixth and scoring d largely off of giving up for

310
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: thirty nine to the forty nine ers. But for all

311
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: the talent they have, I just feel like they're aggressive

312
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: to the point that it's not disciplined. Like they give

313
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: they give up cut back lanes, they give up big gains.

314
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 1: Hoyer hit he hit Pierre Garson for fifty nine yards

315
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: one on one coverage against Tremaine Johnson. What else did

316
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 1: they give up? They gave up They gave up two

317
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 1: or three long gains, like right down the middle of

318
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 1: the field, and San Francisco had four drops on top

319
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 1: of that. Like, so the main thing I come away

320
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: with is that, yeah, these guys are super aggressive, they

321
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 1: and try to force you into a mistake. But in

322
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: doing so, I feel like they made a lot of mistakes.

323
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 1: They were penalized. The Rams were penalized seven times in

324
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 1: this game. Five of those came on defense, off sides,

325
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,880
Speaker 1: off sides, too many men on the field, roughing the passer,

326
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: defensive pass interference, all of which are undisciplined, not smart penalties.

327
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 1: Roughing and the two off sides are results of trying

328
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 1: to get to the quarterback and trying to, you know,

329
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 1: make a statement with your pass rush. Um, going back

330
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 1: to our conversation yesterday. Sorry if I'm ready, Um, there

331
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 1: is a lot of talent here. Wait, Like I mean,

332
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 1: the Rams have been mediocre to bad for more than

333
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 1: a decade, so that's to be expected. But Rockers is

334
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 1: twelfth overall. Donald is fourteenth overall. Robert backs is that

335
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 1: what you go? Picks? Okay, gotcha? Sorry? Robert Quinn is

336
00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:02,679
Speaker 1: eleventh overall. Ogletree is thirteenth overall. Mark Baron. Mark Baron

337
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 1: is a safety who's he's their linebacker BAMA former buccaneer.

338
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 1: He's traded to the Rams. Um Truemain Johnson right seventh overall.

339
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 1: True that uh same draft as Mo, and he was

340
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: better than Mo and Brockers was and you just kind

341
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 1: of remember the guy I remember about the Brockers, Yeah,

342
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 1: that were better than him. Truemaine Johnson, who's their big,

343
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 1: feisty uh six three corner. He's starting a lot of

344
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 1: crap when they practiced together at training camp. If you

345
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 1: remember that a couple of years ago, where was he drafted.

346
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 1: He's a third round pick. Um LaMarcus Joyner is their

347
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: their main safety out of Florida State. He's a second

348
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:47,160
Speaker 1: round pick. So they got Yeah, they've got they got talent,

349
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 1: and they they can do a lot of impressive stuff

350
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 1: with it. Like I can't I can't express how impressive,

351
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 1: particularly Brockers and Donald Ark, like they do whatever they

352
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 1: want most of the time. But again, I feel like

353
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: you can take advantage of a lot of that, and

354
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 1: like all I was thinking about while I was watching

355
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 1: this was like, oh, Dak can kill these guys with

356
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:11,159
Speaker 1: play action and stuff like that, because especially like the

357
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,640
Speaker 1: boot actions and the waggles and stuff like that, where

358
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 1: you get the whole defense going one way and bring

359
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:19,400
Speaker 1: it back like they weren't ready for that on any level.

360
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 1: When Brian Hoyer was doing it, and that's Brian Hoyer.

361
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 1: That's without the talent that he has around him as well.

362
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: Exactly like you know, I thought I said last week,

363
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:33,639
Speaker 1: Arizona was really aggressive, but they were disciplined. These guys,

364
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 1: I just feel like they want to hit you and

365
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 1: make a statement and worry about the rest of it later.

366
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 1: Like it seems like just not a very disciplined group.

367
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 1: Now it has turned into for them, it has turned

368
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: into ten sacks, which they are now sixth in the

369
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 1: NFL in sacks. And I guess the big question from

370
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 1: that is do you think the Cowboys can take this

371
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 1: aggressiveness or will take this aggressiveness and use it against him?

372
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,879
Speaker 1: What does that ten? Or do you think that'll be

373
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 1: a problem for this offense. Well, I think that it'll

374
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: be both. I mean it'll be a problem because you know,

375
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 1: they'll catch them on times when they're not ready and

376
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 1: they'll probably get a few sacks here and there. But

377
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,159
Speaker 1: it's just like that game in twenty fourteen, if you

378
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,399
Speaker 1: remember that they got up twenty one to nothing. I

379
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 1: mean that their aggressiveness from generas Jenkins at the time

380
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 1: got a pick six interception, but his aggressiveness also led

381
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 1: to a touchdown by Dez Bryant that got him back

382
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 1: in the game and turn things around, So you know,

383
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 1: aggressiveness will work both ways. I think what's interesting is that,

384
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 1: you know, obviously you talk about Wade Phillips wanting to

385
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 1: come in here and probably do some great things against

386
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 1: the Cowboys as a former coach, But let's not forget

387
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 1: that that Scott Lenahan on the other side of the ball,

388
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 1: also coached the Rams as a head coach didn't work

389
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,159
Speaker 1: out as well. Might have something to prove too, even

390
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 1: though these aren't the same Rams, same city or anything.

391
00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,920
Speaker 1: But I still I guarantee it will be a nice

392
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 1: chess match between Lanahan and Wade Phillips. All Right, we're

393
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 1: gonna take our first break. When we come back, I'm

394
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,879
Speaker 1: gonna ask the question, Dave. I heard you talking about

395
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 1: how these particularly the particularly Brockers and Aaron Donald move

396
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,640
Speaker 1: around quite a bit, and I'm gonna ask the question,

397
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: do you think that this can create a problem for

398
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: the Cowboys seeing as though they can now try to

399
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 1: use those guys to exploit the weaker links of that

400
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 1: offensive line. We'll talk about that when we come back.

Speaker 1: Everyone's got their ideas, but I just say to myself,

438
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,159
Speaker 1: it's what's up top that matters. Sure, you need men

439

Speaker 1: with the muscle and heart to get her done. But

440
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,159
Speaker 1: if your scouts and coaches are listening out there a

441
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 1: word of advice. Pick the man with the most well

442
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 1: worn stetson. That's the one most cut out to be

Speaker 1: of The Break live from the SWBC Mortgage studios at

449
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 1: the Star, and we're talking about the Cowboys offense versus

450
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 1: the Rams defense. Dave gave us a good breakdown there,

451
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 1: and Dave, one of the things that you talked about

452
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 1: is how they tend to move around Michael Brocker's and

453
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald two of their better players, right, baby, two

454
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,120
Speaker 1: of the best players they have on defense. I would

455
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 1: say definitely. And so my question is this offensive line.

456
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,359
Speaker 1: The Cowboys offensive line, We've talked a lot about it.

457
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 1: There are two guys that are kind of new to

458
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 1: their positions and so when I call them weaker links.

459
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,439
Speaker 1: It's not so much that I think they're bad players,

460
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 1: and I want to be clear about that. It's more

461
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 1: about the fact that they are new to their positions

462
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 1: in this offensive line and they're being compared to guys

463
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,160
Speaker 1: that are all pros in the other three positions, which

464
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 1: is also called a weaker link. That's okay, I know,

465
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 1: I know, but I don't want it to be you know,

466
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:48,879
Speaker 1: it can be construed as you're saying, well, they're a bum,

467
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 1: and I don't think that. I think they've actually played

468
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: as well as the rest of the guys on that

469
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 1: offensive line for the most part, because I think that

470
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: game they played in Denver, you're all pros. We're having

471
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:01,479
Speaker 1: some right. So so all that being said, all I'm

472
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 1: saying is do you think that with those two guys

473
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,439
Speaker 1: particularly and being as good at players as they are,

474
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 1: and because they can move around and play a lot

475
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 1: of different positions, do you think that this creates an

476
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,639
Speaker 1: opportunity for them to exploit those weaker links more than

477
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: say another team that wouldn't have that flexibility across their

478
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 1: defensive front. Yes. And if you're a fan of line play,

479
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 1: I highly encourage you to get yourself a copy of

480
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,439
Speaker 1: game Pass and watched like all twenty two of these

481
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:30,639
Speaker 1: guys play, because it's really fun. Like, like I told you,

482
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 1: where all they line up. But you think of defensive

483
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 1: tackles as being like basically unathletic guys who just clog

484
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 1: up the middle and try to force their way into

485
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:43,880
Speaker 1: the backfield. These dudes are athletic. Like you're talking about

486
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,879
Speaker 1: your two main defensive tackles running twist stunts. They ran

487
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 1: a twist stunt where they were both lined up at

488
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 1: five techniques so on the tackle, and they crossed each

489
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:55,679
Speaker 1: other and rushed on the opposite tackle. Wait, they were

490
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 1: on the outside, both of them on the outside on

491
00:25:58,000 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 1: the other side. Donald has lined up on the inside

492
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,399
Speaker 1: shoulder of the left tackle and Brockers has lined up

493
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,239
Speaker 1: on the inside shoulder of the right tackle. And they

494
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 1: stunt and reverse and go at the other guy. And

495
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,439
Speaker 1: they were fast enough that they did it and it worked.

496
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I can't even fathom that. I don't think.

497
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 1: I don't think essional game I don't think they didn't

498
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 1: get a sack on the play, but like they got

499
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 1: pressure and I saw it and I had to go

500
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 1: back and watch it, like four task because everybody was confused,

501
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 1: like I thought he was on the other side. How

502
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 1: did he get over here? So saying, and then but

503
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,159
Speaker 1: they can also, you know, they'll they'll play on Frederick,

504
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 1: They'll play on Martin, They'll definitely play on Chaz Green.

505
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: I'm sure they won't be I mean, they're not afraid

506
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 1: of the matchup an whatsoever. I mean, everybody will have

507
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 1: their hands full with these guys. And then on top

508
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 1: of that, I mean, you know Lyle Collins, you know

509
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 1: he's had his hands full on the right side throughout

510
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 1: the season of this point. I don't you know, Connor

511
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 1: Barwin doesn't strike fear in your heart the way that

512
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:49,439
Speaker 1: von Miller does, but he's been very productive. He had

513
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 1: a sack in this last game. I think a lot

514
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 1: of that has to do with the attention that these

515
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: other guys get. I mean, Robert Quinn had an eighteen

516
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 1: or nineteen sacks season not all that long ago. So

517
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 1: you're talking about guys who command a lot of respect

518
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 1: and a lot of attention, and I think Barwin benefits

519
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,159
Speaker 1: from that. So I think I think Lyle is going

520
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:09,959
Speaker 1: to have his hands full dealing with him as well

521
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 1: as these other guys because The point I'm trying to

522
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 1: make is that they can all line up anywhere. And

523
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:18,679
Speaker 1: going back to my original point from the very beginning

524
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:21,959
Speaker 1: is yeah, they call it a three four, but they

525
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:26,360
Speaker 1: basically play permanently in nickel because you got your down linemen,

526
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 1: then you bring in your linebackers. Mark Baron and Ogletree

527
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 1: are only they're the only true linebackers that are ever

528
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 1: on the field. So you're usually talking about at least four,

529
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 1: if not five, guys that are trying to get to

530
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:42,439
Speaker 1: the passers. So offensive line is going to have its

531
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,120
Speaker 1: work cutout. It's like a huge game for Beasley. That's

532
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 1: what it seems like to me. Well, yeah, actually, I

533
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 1: was actually gonna go there next because it sounds like

534
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,639
Speaker 1: the strength of this defense is the front and if

535
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 1: that's the case, then it sounds like there's an opportunity

536
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 1: here in the passing game. Do you guys agree with that?

537
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 1: So who is the guy you said bast for you?

538
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:02,439
Speaker 1: Who's that guy that you think has to show up

539
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 1: this week and make plays for them from it seems

540
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 1: like if there is a lot of pressure, you know

541
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a situation where you know you'll see

542
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 1: they'll be a nickel where they they'll play a deep

543
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 1: but they're gonna make sure and prevent the big play.

544
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 1: But it seems like the middle, the underneath stuff will

545
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 1: be there, and that's where Beasley and Winton and those

546
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,680
Speaker 1: guys really do their work. So I'd like to see them,

547
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,639
Speaker 1: you know, I think cold Beasley's gonna bounce back, and

548
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:30,360
Speaker 1: he didn't have a bad game, but he just wasn't

549
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 1: targeted a lot. But I think that you'll see that

550
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 1: this will be a game for him. I agree with that.

551
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 1: I also I didn't come away from this impressed with

552
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 1: Trumaine Johnson. He's a big guy, he's aggressive, he's physical.

553
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 1: If he gets his hands on you, he's probably gonna

554
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 1: tackle you. But he's I didn't I don't look at

555
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 1: him as like a shutdown corner. I mean, Pierre Garson

556
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 1: had a nice night in this game. He had a

557
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 1: couple of big gainers. He had a couple of plays

558
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 1: where he was left uncovered for one reason or another.

559
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 1: So I'm looking at this this will be the easiest

560
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 1: matchup that Dez Bryant has by far through four weeks.

561
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying he's going to have one hundred

562
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 1: and fifty yards or something crazy like that. But it

563
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 1: should be far easier for him to get favorable looks

564
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 1: in this game than it has been. I think. Can

565
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 1: I say something, No, I was I was coming to you.

566
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 1: I was going to ask you, thank you, thank you.

567
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 1: Now I was just gonna say I'm really not impressed

568
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 1: by their defense. I'm not worried about it either. I

569
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 1: know how you talked about a lot of these guys,

570
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: and I do agree that they do have a lot

571
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 1: of talent, but I don't think they've done enough with it.

572
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 1: I don't think they've been as productive. I was looking

573
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 1: at all the stats and just kind of comparing with

574
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 1: the guys we have on our defense, and what they've

575
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 1: done has been fairly similar to what the Cowboys have

576
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 1: done so far. And I think we can all agree

577
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 1: they haven't been impressive the Cowboys, aside from the defensive line,

578
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 1: which they the Rams don't have or havn't done nearly

579
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 1: as much as what our guys have done. Like DeMarcus Lawrence,

580
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 1: which obviously we really know he's like the top guy

581
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 1: right now, but as well as Malie Collins, so number

582
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 1: wise and production wise, they just haven't done much to

583
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 1: where um, I mean two words. Well, the one thing

584
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 1: I will point out here is that Aaron Donald missed

585
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 1: all training camp. He had a holdout, and so he's

586
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 1: having to kind of work himself into shape. And if

587
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 1: you go back and look at how he performed last year,

588
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 1: I don't think there's many people that would say that productively,

589
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 1: he's not every bit as good, if not better than

590
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 1: any defensive tackle you probably want to point to in

591
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 1: the NFL, including Malie Collins. Right, he is up there

592
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 1: as one of the premier guys, so productively, I hear

593
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 1: your point, but I think it's a little bit to

594
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 1: that to looking at his statistics right now, that maybe

595
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 1: a little MISSI I agree, because he's having to work

596
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 1: in Yeah, yeah, I definitely agree. The one thing, it's like,

597
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 1: I haven't seen it yet, so I'm I'm good as

598
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 1: of right now until I see it. And I don't

599
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 1: think it'll be a problem if I mean, it'll be

600
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 1: something that they'll face and they'll have a little bit

601
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 1: of struggle there, but nothing that will make them lose

602
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 1: the game. I actually I agree, and I mean I

603
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 1: came in here and I still believe this, But I

604
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 1: came in here and said, you know, these aren't your

605
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 1: older brothers, Rams. They're way more talented than that. This

606
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 1: isn't a team you can write off. I still think

607
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 1: that's true. But for the talent they have here, the

608
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 1: production doesn't doesn't do it justice. And maybe you know

609
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald's two weeks in system and one of the

610
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 1: more complicated systems in football. If if players are to

611
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 1: be believed about Wade Field's defense, so maybe that's part

612
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 1: of it. The forty nine ers big boyed them twice.

613
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 1: They went forward on fourth and goal from the one

614
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 1: twice and scored on scored touchdowns on both plays. Both

615
00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 1: just runs to Carlos hide where they knock them over

616
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 1: and score a touchdown. It's a good sign for the Cowboys.

617
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 1: So and like I said, I mean, the secondary did

618
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 1: not impress me in this game. There's a lot of

619
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 1: talent here. I did think it was interesting. So this game,

620
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers scored to make it forty one thirty nine.

621
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 1: They don't get the two point conversion, they recover the

622
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 1: on side kick and then they so they go into

623
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 1: a possession where they're near midfield with a chance to

624
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 1: go down and win the game. Aaron Donald just destroys

625
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 1: his man, forces an incompletion right away, they send five,

626
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 1: and the Niners run a screen that they sniff out

627
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 1: immediately zone coverage on third and long. And then the

628
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 1: last play of the game, which is like a fourth

629
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 1: and eighteen after a questionable offensive pass interference call, but

630
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 1: still Aaron Donald blows his man up and sacks Brian

631
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 1: Hoyer in the game. So when the chips are down,

632
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 1: especially if you're in a situation where you have to

633
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 1: throw the ball, that could be bad news, as it

634
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 1: is with most really good defensive climate right. But I

635
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 1: do think there's plenty here that the Cowboys should be

636
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 1: able to take advantage of. And you talk about Zekiel

637
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 1: Elliott being great at cutting back and moving in open space,

638
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 1: I think their aggressiveness should play right into him. Like,

639
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 1: I think there are plays to be made against these guys.

640
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 1: This sounds like a lot like the game last year

641
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 1: against the Bengals a week about the same time of

642
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 1: the year, Week four, Week five, they walk. They came in.

643
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 1: The Bengals were I think at the time, like the

644
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 1: best defensive line in football, yeah, and that they weren't

645
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 1: allowing anything. And I think the Cowboys oh line took

646
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 1: it as a big challenge and they won obviously. And

647
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 1: you know, Zeke's running sixty yards right through the middle

648
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 1: of the defense, and so I just think this is

649
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 1: this is one of those type of games where I'll

650
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 1: be it'll be big on big, It'll be some really

651
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 1: good talented players that the Rams have drafted to change

652
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 1: their defensive line. The Cowboys drafted some really good offensive

653
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 1: linemen to try to change with their line, and then

654
00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 1: this is kind of what you'll get. It'll be it'll

655
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 1: be one on right there, mano Imano. Yeah, strength, I

656
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 1: don't know who. I don't know who. They were dominating,

657
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 1: that's what's you said. That Like, in a one minute

658
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:10,439
Speaker 1: span on the fourth and one when they really needed

659
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:13,839
Speaker 1: to stop their offensive line, that from the Niners dominated them.

660
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 1: But a fourth and seventeen eighteen they couldn't. They got

661
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 1: dominated on the other end. So it sounds like speed

662
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 1: and quickness, it's their strength. They can kind of get

663
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 1: there when it's big on big and pushing people off

664
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 1: the ball. That hasn't really been the Cowboys strength though,

665
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:32,319
Speaker 1: knocking people back. So I would say this last year

666
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: when they were in you know, short yard of situations,

667
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,320
Speaker 1: they were pretty good at it, So I guess that

668
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:41,399
Speaker 1: kind of fits right Leary. Huh with Leary? Okay, yeah,

669
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 1: you're saying without Leary, it's a whole different thing. That's

670
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:47,320
Speaker 1: nixt guy. Yeah right. I would hate to think that

671
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 1: the left guard can make that much of a difference. Sorry, Nate,

672
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 1: but I just think that something there's something here. He

673
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,840
Speaker 1: really wasn't the guy in twenty fifteen. He was the

674
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:01,360
Speaker 1: guy in twenty sixteen, and then now he's not in

675
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:03,759
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, and we just they haven't been as good

676
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 1: short yardage. Well, we have enough of a sample now

677
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:09,759
Speaker 1: we don't know that, not yet, but we're getting there.

678
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 1: I mean two and a half years. I almost no, no, no,

679
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 1: I'm saying this season with with you got Chazz, and

680
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 1: now I don't know that we've had enough of a

681
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 1: samplifize in short yardists to say that they can't do

682
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 1: it well this year. Were you not arguing a training

683
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 1: camp that one guy wouldn't make a difference in this

684
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 1: offensive line? That would have been me. I was arguing me, Yeah,

685
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 1: you were. I think it was me. I know it

686
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:35,719
Speaker 1: was me. I know, I said the Ron Leary fan club,

687
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 1: So it was I definitely was on that that it's

688
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 1: not because to me, I look at it and I say,

689
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:44,279
Speaker 1: if you got that talented, if those other guys play

690
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 1: up to the level that we expect them to, then

691
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 1: a left guard should not be able to platoon this thing. Yeah,

692
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 1: I just don't think that's And I somewhat agree with

693
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:55,319
Speaker 1: that as well. I mean, I do agree that one

694
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:57,799
Speaker 1: position on the line's not going to change a whole lot.

695
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 1: But when it gets down to third and short, fourth

696
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 1: and short and you really need to knock people off

697
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 1: the ball, I'm behind him. I think, run behind him.

698
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:11,880
Speaker 1: They've done okay, But I do think we clearly have

699
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 1: seen a change compared to what they We don't have

700
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:19,400
Speaker 1: enough aside. It's been three games, really really good. Okay,

701
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:22,279
Speaker 1: from what we've seen, we have seen a change that

702
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:25,880
Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think. Schedule, huh, is there

703
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 1: any bad defenses on the schedule? I mean, Giants, Broncos, Arizona,

704
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 1: they didn't have a great defense. Yeah they're kind of man,

705
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 1: we'll see you next week then. Yeah. It seems like

706
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 1: every team's got this great defense up front. Atlanta's not

707
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:42,960
Speaker 1: a great defense or whatever. It's undert we're in that

708
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 1: score a ton of points. That doesn't really matter, right.

709
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 1: Dak said yesterday that he thought these first three defenses

710
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 1: were about as hard as it's gonna get, which I

711
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:53,080
Speaker 1: don't know him. I will say this, though, Battle hasn't

712
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:55,400
Speaker 1: played as well as they've played in the past, Like

713
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:57,239
Speaker 1: they've had some games this year where their defense has

714
00:36:57,239 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 1: given up a lot more points than your typically. I'm

715
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:02,080
Speaker 1: not even doing trying to worry about Christmas Eve right now,

716
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 1: September twenty starget Christmas shopping. I have not I won't

717
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:09,279
Speaker 1: be home for Christmas, so I don't even need to

718
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 1: do any Christmas good point. Oh so just because you're

719
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:12,880

763
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:13,840
Speaker 1: What's what's one of the most important components of football?

764
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:19,120
Speaker 1: Um scoring points? I was thinking more about ball security. Okay,

765
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 1: speaking of ball security, Tommy John underwear, I think goes

766
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 1: hand in hand. He goes hand in hand. Uh, it's

767
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:30,520
Speaker 1: very comfortable, it's very secure. Feels like you're wearing nothing

768
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 1: at all, but really keeps everything in order. I'm actually

769
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:37,920

Speaker 1: actually enjoy wearing them. So anyway, and where you got

783

Speaker 1: anything to chime in on that one? I see you?

784
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:31,880
Speaker 1: All right, I'm biting my tongue. Just stop, okay, all right,

785
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:34,399
Speaker 1: let's let's move on. Let's get some questions. You guys

786
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 1: call us the numbers two one four eight seven two

787
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 1: twenty one O two. You can also hit us on

788
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:42,239
Speaker 1: at Cowboys break. Let's get a Let's get a question

789
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:46,000
Speaker 1: from Twitter Amber. Has Jordan Lewis jumped Nolan Carroll on

790
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 1: the depth chart because of his recent play? We know

791
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:53,800
Speaker 1: Carol is right now, it's looking like we're gonna know question.

792
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 1: Would you start him right now? If both are healthy?

793
00:40:57,320 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 1: Would you start Jordan Lewis over Nolan Carroll? It is

794
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 1: all sample size, but I think so. I think so too.

795
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 1: But now we're getting into what the cowboys would do,

796
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 1: right I don't care what the cowboys are doing. I'm

797
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 1: asking what you would do, But don't you want to

798
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:12,960
Speaker 1: know what's more likely to happen? Yeah, kind of, but

799
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:17,880
Speaker 1: they just don't. They just don't do that because there's

800
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:21,440
Speaker 1: no need for it. There's Jordan Lewis, is this young

801
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:24,560
Speaker 1: guy that that's had some injury concerns too, and you

802
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:27,880
Speaker 1: know he's just just stay hungry, you know. Okay, this

803
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 1: is the way it works. And Nolan Carroll comes back

804
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 1: in and he got hurt and because he you know,

805
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a long leash, but I think

806
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:38,319
Speaker 1: no one Carroll would come back to his spot if

807
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 1: he had another game, Like the part of the game

808
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:44,000
Speaker 1: before he got injured in Denver. Do you think at

809
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:46,480
Speaker 1: that point the Cowboys, I'm just gonna talking about them,

810
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 1: you think they would make that move at that point,

811
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:52,920
Speaker 1: They've got to make some roster moves here and and

812
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 1: that just took the show with a whole different direction.

813
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:00,359
Speaker 1: We don't we don't even go there. We don't need

814
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:06,400
Speaker 1: It's really easy, huh, that really is actually just do it.

815
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:09,239
Speaker 1: But again again, okay what you would do versus what

816
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, right, But what I'm saying is is that

817
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:16,960
Speaker 1: I don't think Nolan Carroll would be completely safe from

818
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:20,759
Speaker 1: that in my opinion, really like as in they would

819
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:22,960
Speaker 1: just outright cut him. I mean, Cheeto to be healthy,

820
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:27,400
Speaker 1: I need strides from Mark Marquez White on the practice squad,

821
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:30,879
Speaker 1: just just not necessarily to bring him up. But if

822
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:34,440
Speaker 1: you need it, about it maybe, But does it have

823
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:36,879
Speaker 1: anything to do with how well benabin Wickery can play?

824
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:40,919
Speaker 1: Does this play? I mean, but I'm saying, I'm saying,

825
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 1: if you're thought, if you're talking about the possibiliar Carroll

826
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:46,080
Speaker 1: going away, that you kind of want that vet that's

827
00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:48,799
Speaker 1: gonna be here with Orlando to be I mean, I mean,

828
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:51,800
Speaker 1: you're gonna cut ben A before you cut Carol, I

829
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:54,440
Speaker 1: don't and I mean I see the logic, but I

830
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:56,880
Speaker 1: just don't think they would cut no Carol, not in season.

831
00:42:57,280 --> 00:43:00,279
Speaker 1: He's a veteran. May if if Jordan Lewis had played

832
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:02,360
Speaker 1: all of training camp and had just whooped him and

833
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 1: totally claimed that job. Maybe, But you're in season now,

834
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:07,839
Speaker 1: where anything can happen week to week. I mean, they're

835
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:11,279
Speaker 1: already dealing with injuries, and the thought of cutting one

836
00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:13,920
Speaker 1: of two guys that has really been through the grind

837
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 1: of an NFL season over and over again, a veteran guy, Yeah,

838
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:19,319
Speaker 1: it doesn't make a lot of sense to me. That's

839
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's not you know, he's got like

840
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:24,640
Speaker 1: three million and guarantees or something like that. It's not

841
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:27,440
Speaker 1: even like this is some big obnoxious contract that you

842
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:29,960
Speaker 1: you know, that you have to get off the books.

843
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:32,520
Speaker 1: I don't think that makes a ton of sense now

844
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:35,440
Speaker 1: that you're playing week to week. But you know, and

845
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 1: I agree with Nick, the Cowboys are always more likely

846
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:40,840
Speaker 1: to lean toward the veteran in a situation like this,

847
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 1: in my opinion. But if he gets back in the

848
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:45,799
Speaker 1: lineup and looks as bad as he did in Denver.

849
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:48,880
Speaker 1: I mean, once it's hindering your ability to play a

850
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:51,920
Speaker 1: good defense, they'll that's not a long leash at all.

851
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:54,239
Speaker 1: All right, let's get a phone call from Jorge in

852
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:59,479
Speaker 1: Mexico City or Hey, what up guys? Hey, Well, first

853
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:01,719
Speaker 1: of all, want to say Amber, we gave a great

854
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:04,279
Speaker 1: Latino touch the Verter. We just make it even better.

855
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:07,840
Speaker 1: Thank you. Now to get to football, I have a

856
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:10,640
Speaker 1: comment in the question. The comment is you carting the

857
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:14,239
Speaker 1: play calling with Scott Linehan. I know Dak's a really,

858
00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:16,440
Speaker 1: really good quarterback. I know it's gonna be great some day,

859
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:20,640
Speaker 1: but I just feel you still learning, still developing, And

860
00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 1: I feel like the play calling they're taking is like

861
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:26,520
Speaker 1: they want to make some a pure, pure pocket catch,

862
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:28,959
Speaker 1: which I think it's not radiot. I mean, he's gonna

863
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:30,719
Speaker 1: be rady today, but it's things that should get back

864
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 1: to what they did Latin in the first team, with

865
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 1: the boots, the waggles, you can seat. I mean, he's

866
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 1: a mobile quarterbacks and uh, I feel like the decent

867
00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:44,320
Speaker 1: sets are are challenging us to to make some pocket tatters.

868
00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:46,600
Speaker 1: But I mean they're they're they're getting the best of us.

869
00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:49,480
Speaker 1: And my question is and then you guys get to

870
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 1: the ton, But uh, are we still sure that we

871
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:56,320
Speaker 1: like called layout Collins were right tackles? Can we just

872
00:44:56,440 --> 00:45:01,359
Speaker 1: go back to what we did in twenty fifteen? Guard

873
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:06,000
Speaker 1: over to the cycle decisions? All right, thanks for the call.

874
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:09,759
Speaker 1: First of all, let's still go back to anything from

875
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:13,200
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen. Let's let's don't do anything about twenty fifteen

876
00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:15,839
Speaker 1: to go back to UM you know with their four

877
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:19,040
Speaker 1: win season. They're already halfway there with two wins, So

878
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 1: I that sounded good. But then who's your right tackle? Well,

879
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:27,160
Speaker 1: he's saying, kick Chaz back out. But here's deal, it's

880
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:30,000
Speaker 1: not gonna happen. Guys, that's not gonna happen this season

881
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:32,360
Speaker 1: that we're gonna happen. That's an offseason thing. They are

882
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:35,480
Speaker 1: unless there's injuries. They are set that Lyle Collins is

883
00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:37,719
Speaker 1: going to be their right tackle and Chaz Green is

884
00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:39,239
Speaker 1: going to be their left guard. The way that you

885
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:41,440
Speaker 1: say that, though, is kind of like, well, they're not

886
00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:44,879
Speaker 1: gonna cut Kellen Moore. Like you, you think it should happen,

887
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:48,120
Speaker 1: but it won't, and I disagree because you made this decision.

888
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 1: We answered this in the mailback this morning. Actually, like

889
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 1: you made this decision. We all said heading into the

890
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:56,320
Speaker 1: season that Lyle would probably have his growing pains and

891
00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:58,680
Speaker 1: not be an all pro from the get right. That

892
00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:02,400
Speaker 1: has played out fletely to form. He hasn't been terrible,

893
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:04,560
Speaker 1: he hasn't been great. He's had his struggles, he's had

894
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:07,920
Speaker 1: his wins again. But again, when you're you're into the

895
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:10,239
Speaker 1: season now, where you're playing a game every sixth day,

896
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:12,759
Speaker 1: why are you trying to shuffle this thing. You're only

897
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:15,000
Speaker 1: going to get better by giving these guys reps where

898
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:17,480
Speaker 1: they are. That's the only way this is gonna work.

899
00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:20,040
Speaker 1: And it hasn't been as good as last year. And

900
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:22,160
Speaker 1: I think that troubles people because it's a lot of

901
00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 1: fun when you're dominating the way that they did last year.

902
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 1: But they haven't been bad by any stretch of the imagination.

903
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:30,480
Speaker 1: They just they've been okay. And just to be clear,

904
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:33,319
Speaker 1: I wasn't saying they should but they won't. I was okay,

905
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:37,160
Speaker 1: I was saying they should not and they won't. You're wording,

906
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:39,279
Speaker 1: I believe you're wording made it sound like you were

907
00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:41,360
Speaker 1: saying they should, but they won't. No, no, And I

908
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:42,920
Speaker 1: guess the reason why I was kind of coming off

909
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 1: like that is because I was trying to express to

910
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:46,360
Speaker 1: him that this is kind of a moot point. For

911
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:48,120
Speaker 1: those people that are out there that believe like him,

912
00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:49,840
Speaker 1: it's a moot point. They're not going to do that.

913
00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:53,160
Speaker 1: That doesn't make sense and how NFL teams are run.

914
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:56,040
Speaker 1: But if you think about it logically, that's not the

915
00:46:56,120 --> 00:46:57,920
Speaker 1: smart call at this point. I mean, if you get

916
00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:00,360
Speaker 1: through the whole season and then you decide that this

917
00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:03,120
Speaker 1: really probably isn't going to work long term, come talk

918
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:05,879
Speaker 1: to me. But I think this thing is playing out

919
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:08,520
Speaker 1: exactly how you probably thought it should or you should

920
00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:11,040
Speaker 1: have thought it, yeah, which is that these two guys

921
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:13,319
Speaker 1: are having their growing pains, but they're getting the job

922
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 1: done more often than not, and they'll get better with

923
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:19,319
Speaker 1: playing time. I don't think shuffling the lineup and hoping

924
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:21,360
Speaker 1: that it's magically better is the right way to do it.

925
00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:24,840
Speaker 1: The first part of that, I think that it was

926
00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:29,360
Speaker 1: a good that's a good observation about Dak and what

927
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:31,759
Speaker 1: they're doing with him in the pocket. And yes, they

928
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:34,000
Speaker 1: are trying to do that, and it's not just to

929
00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:37,520
Speaker 1: try to develop him from that standpoint to be a

930
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:40,560
Speaker 1: good pocket passer. It's because that will help the offense

931
00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:42,680
Speaker 1: if he can stand in there and make some throws.

932
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:44,840
Speaker 1: And I think he's shown that he can do that.

933
00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:47,840
Speaker 1: But in that game against the Cardinals, it was clear

934
00:47:48,239 --> 00:47:50,600
Speaker 1: that they had to move him. He needed to move

935
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:53,200
Speaker 1: to make plays. He needed to run. All of the

936
00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:57,920
Speaker 1: touchdowns or three other than the one with Dak, I

937
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:01,120
Speaker 1: mean with Zeke, but the three touchdowns were a product

938
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:04,800
Speaker 1: of his legs. He was rolling right throwing or running

939
00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:07,680
Speaker 1: and flipping into the end zone. I think that they

940
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:10,000
Speaker 1: kind of realized that in that game, and I think

941
00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:11,960
Speaker 1: you'll see a little bit more of that. Something else

942
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:14,080
Speaker 1: I would throw in. And this isn't me trying to

943
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:16,879
Speaker 1: be amateur scout. This is from conversations I've had here

944
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:19,840
Speaker 1: with people. It's harder to do that type of stuff

945
00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:22,320
Speaker 1: when you're playing three or four teams. You're talking about

946
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:25,719
Speaker 1: outside linebackers that play like why to the title, they

947
00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:27,799
Speaker 1: played disciplined, and they're gonna be there every time. You're

948
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:29,759
Speaker 1: gonna be right in your quarterback's face when he's trying

949
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:31,520
Speaker 1: to do that stuff. And you've seen it play out

950
00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:34,160
Speaker 1: so far this season, even and it's worked a couple

951
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:36,480
Speaker 1: of times. But when Dak has done those actions. He's

952
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:40,239
Speaker 1: had guys in his face from the get Yeah, some

953
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:42,480
Speaker 1: of that it happened against Arizona too. Like I said,

954
00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:45,000
Speaker 1: sometimes the players still worked, but it's not like it

955
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:49,360
Speaker 1: was really faking anybody out. So I think, you know,

956
00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:51,279
Speaker 1: I think you'll still see it, and I think it'll

957
00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:54,480
Speaker 1: work better when they play some more traditional style defenses. Yeah,

958
00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:57,040
Speaker 1: and I think that that run that he had, that

959
00:48:57,200 --> 00:48:59,520
Speaker 1: the touchdown run, to me, that's more kind of what

960
00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:02,040
Speaker 1: you want to do if you're gonna use him with

961
00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:04,640
Speaker 1: his legs. Is it's it's not always going to work

962
00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:06,000
Speaker 1: on the boots, like you said, when you got a

963
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:08,200
Speaker 1: team that either it's really fast or they're keeping somebody

964
00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:10,680
Speaker 1: in to kind of spy him. I think in those

965
00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:12,279
Speaker 1: kind of situations, you gotta get from point A to

966
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:14,040
Speaker 1: point being the fastest way you can, which is a

967
00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:16,839
Speaker 1: straight line, and so you fake the run and then

968
00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:18,680
Speaker 1: you just let him take off, take off into a

969
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:21,120
Speaker 1: hole that he sees, rather than having to boot out

970
00:49:21,160 --> 00:49:24,000
Speaker 1: to the outside where the defender can then float out

971
00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:25,640
Speaker 1: there with him. So I think they just got to

972
00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:27,719
Speaker 1: mix it up and give a good mixture. And I

973
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:30,160
Speaker 1: think if they do that and use his legs not

974
00:49:30,239 --> 00:49:32,440
Speaker 1: all the time, but use his legs in good situations.

975
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:34,440
Speaker 1: And I think there's a way to make this, make

976
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:36,880
Speaker 1: this thing better and make him more effective as a quarterback.

977
00:49:41,719 --> 00:49:47,080
Speaker 1: What helps the Cowboys probably promability to She was just

978
00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:50,040
Speaker 1: throwing her. Is that the question that you're asking throwing

979
00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:54,440
Speaker 1: the collar? I said something I understand Amber, Like I

980
00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:57,280
Speaker 1: don't speak Spanish, but I know what she's the Amber whisperer.

981
00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:00,160
Speaker 1: It's just because I do those videos with her after

982
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:03,160
Speaker 1: the games. I will say this when I'm editing those

983
00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:07,200
Speaker 1: videos and I'm postgame with Dave, I'll be speaking Spanish

984
00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:12,200
Speaker 1: and he's like, he'll make facial expression. Is that it's

985
00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:15,360
Speaker 1: all context clues, Like you can you pick out a

986
00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:17,640
Speaker 1: word or like, you know, like the word Mexico is

987
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:19,960
Speaker 1: the same in Spanish and English, Like you pick that out?

988
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:24,160
Speaker 1: Shut up? Context clues. You can figure out a sentence

989
00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:27,200
Speaker 1: in another language if you can understand like three words. Anyways,

990
00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:29,920
Speaker 1: it's pretty good. And see miss Brian brought us that

991
00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:32,719
Speaker 1: I can work. Well, are you saying that I'm not

992
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:35,040
Speaker 1: good when I'm done that? Oh? Like, like I don't

993
00:50:35,120 --> 00:50:38,000
Speaker 1: have the experience of listening to that. It's a great point. Apparently,

994
00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:40,920
Speaker 1: not because you have no clue what I say. Anyway,

995
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:42,440
Speaker 1: if you put me on camera, I'd be able to

996
00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:45,040
Speaker 1: do it. Don't ask me to do videos with you,

997
00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:47,759
Speaker 1: so you're too busy like figuring out how do they

998
00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:52,520
Speaker 1: making sure I'm good at it? Though? Right? No? No, okay, guy?

999
00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:56,359
Speaker 1: So what helps the Cowboys probability to win? Converting third

1000
00:50:56,440 --> 00:50:59,640
Speaker 1: downs to keep the chains moving or red zone efficiency?

1001
00:51:00,719 --> 00:51:04,000
Speaker 1: They've been pretty bad at converting third downs, haven't they.

1002
00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:07,160
Speaker 1: I don't know about for the season. Yes, Denver game

1003
00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:09,799
Speaker 1: they were horrible. Now we're focusing in this coming yet,

1004
00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:12,680
Speaker 1: but I'm saying just as a train third and long.

1005
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:15,600
Speaker 1: They were two and nine. What's what's third and long

1006
00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:17,919
Speaker 1: in the NFL? Like a third and lungs at ten?

1007
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:21,160
Speaker 1: I thought third and seven or eight six or more? Yeah,

1008
00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:23,920
Speaker 1: you know what? They're converting on third and long like

1009
00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:29,520
Speaker 1: the percentage wise six percent awful, six percent last than

1010
00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:32,480
Speaker 1: the league two for nine on third down against Arizona

1011
00:51:34,200 --> 00:51:36,600
Speaker 1: two for nine and that was their best game of

1012
00:51:36,640 --> 00:51:39,400
Speaker 1: the seat. Well, I don't guess. That just means on

1013
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:41,960
Speaker 1: first down they're not really running the ball very well.

1014
00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:46,319
Speaker 1: First down, second down, they're getting behind the change, does it? Yes,

1015
00:51:46,440 --> 00:51:49,120
Speaker 1: because well, but because if they get in third one,

1016
00:51:49,239 --> 00:51:51,279
Speaker 1: third and two, it's more manageable. They can get these

1017
00:51:51,360 --> 00:51:53,239
Speaker 1: but they're not. They're not getting to third and one

1018
00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:55,680
Speaker 1: and third and two that's the times they get to

1019
00:51:55,719 --> 00:51:59,319
Speaker 1: third down. If they're converting second downs more frequently, then

1020
00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:01,439
Speaker 1: I'm saying they're not running the ball well to start

1021
00:52:01,520 --> 00:52:04,560
Speaker 1: it off, they're they're getting themselves behind the chains early

1022
00:52:04,719 --> 00:52:07,799
Speaker 1: in the in the down and distance, and then it's

1023
00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:09,520
Speaker 1: the next thing you know, it's third and ten, third

1024
00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:13,719
Speaker 1: and eleven. It's not working. I completely agree. So, but

1025
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:19,719
Speaker 1: to answer the question, um, it's it's more important to

1026
00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:23,160
Speaker 1: move the chains on third down. It's more important than

1027
00:52:23,239 --> 00:52:26,520
Speaker 1: it is in red zone. I think because you can

1028
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:28,480
Speaker 1: always kick a field goal and you're going to make it.

1029
00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:30,800
Speaker 1: Let's so, if you don't get it on third and

1030
00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:33,279
Speaker 1: four from midfield, then you have to punt. If you

1031
00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:35,640
Speaker 1: don't get it on with the nineteen yard line, you

1032
00:52:35,719 --> 00:52:37,960
Speaker 1: kick a field goal. I think that's eric you don't

1033
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:40,160
Speaker 1: never get to the nineteen. No, I mean, I don't

1034
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:43,920
Speaker 1: think that that one necessarily necessitates the other. Yeah, I

1035
00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:46,560
Speaker 1: think that, yes, they both are problems for them right now.

1036
00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:48,520
Speaker 1: First down is a problem for them right now. Third

1037
00:52:48,600 --> 00:52:50,399
Speaker 1: down is a problem for them right now. I don't

1038
00:52:50,440 --> 00:52:54,439
Speaker 1: know that first down necessarily equates to always to third

1039
00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:57,360
Speaker 1: down success. So I don't know if I agree with

1040
00:52:57,680 --> 00:52:58,880
Speaker 1: that part of it, but I get your gist, and

1041
00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:00,600
Speaker 1: that's why I didn't really argue to because first to

1042
00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:02,279
Speaker 1: get you just a first and tend to start the

1043
00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:05,520
Speaker 1: game Zeke for negative one second and eleven, Zeke for one,

1044
00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:08,960
Speaker 1: so you're in third and ten. Next possession, Zeke up

1045
00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:12,280
Speaker 1: the middle for negative three. Second and thirteen pass incomplete,

1046
00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:15,080
Speaker 1: so you're in third and thirteen. Next drive, first and

1047
00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:18,759
Speaker 1: ten offsides brings you to first and five. Zeke runs

1048
00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:22,600
Speaker 1: on first and five for no gain incomplete. They converted

1049
00:53:22,640 --> 00:53:26,040
Speaker 1: that probably because it was second and five, first and

1050
00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:28,560
Speaker 1: ten complete, the terrence for eight, Zeke up the middle

1051
00:53:28,640 --> 00:53:31,360
Speaker 1: for one, and then that third and one Zeke busts

1052
00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:35,000
Speaker 1: a thirty yard game. They haven't been great on first down,

1053
00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:37,080
Speaker 1: and I agree with that. That's why I just said.

1054
00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:39,000
Speaker 1: I just said there's they have a problem on first down,

1055
00:53:39,239 --> 00:53:41,680
Speaker 1: they also have a problem on third down. One doesn't

1056
00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:44,040
Speaker 1: necessarily cause the others. What I'm saying, there's not a

1057
00:53:44,120 --> 00:53:47,120
Speaker 1: causal relationship between the two. If they don't get at

1058
00:53:47,239 --> 00:53:50,759
Speaker 1: least like three yards on first down. I'm calling that

1059
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:53,560
Speaker 1: a wash. Like I'm just I'm assuming something bad's going

1060
00:53:53,600 --> 00:53:55,359
Speaker 1: to happen based on what we've seen. So how does

1061
00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:58,719
Speaker 1: first down not affect third down? Like there? No, No,

1062
00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:00,600
Speaker 1: that's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is there

1063
00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:02,840
Speaker 1: there are times when they get the third down that

1064
00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:05,279
Speaker 1: it's not about first down. And there are also times

1065
00:54:05,320 --> 00:54:07,480
Speaker 1: when they convert on second down. So even if they

1066
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:09,520
Speaker 1: didn't do much on first down, they convert on second down,

1067
00:54:09,560 --> 00:54:11,799
Speaker 1: so it doesn't matter, So you never factor that into

1068
00:54:11,840 --> 00:54:14,000
Speaker 1: the third down conversion rate. Yeah, I'm saying. Well, so

1069
00:54:14,080 --> 00:54:15,799
Speaker 1: all I'm saying is yes, they I think we're all

1070
00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:18,080
Speaker 1: agreeing from the standpoint. They got a problem on first down,

1071
00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:20,440
Speaker 1: they got a problem on third down, and they got

1072
00:54:20,560 --> 00:54:22,200
Speaker 1: to fix both of them because I think they're both

1073
00:54:22,239 --> 00:54:25,240
Speaker 1: an issue for them right now. Okay, what are the Cowboys?

1074
00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:28,600
Speaker 1: What is the chances that the Cowboys used Seek the

1075
00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:33,040
Speaker 1: way Minnesota is using Cook. I haven't really watched them

1076
00:54:33,080 --> 00:54:35,799
Speaker 1: play much other than Monday nine. I assume that means

1077
00:54:35,920 --> 00:54:38,480
Speaker 1: more as a receiver, I mean, because it seems like

1078
00:54:38,560 --> 00:54:41,000
Speaker 1: Cook is I mean, I know Dalvin Cook is off

1079
00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:42,680
Speaker 1: to a good start, which you've said you kind of

1080
00:54:42,719 --> 00:54:46,319
Speaker 1: wanted to see the Cowboys. Yeah. I mean Zeke has

1081
00:54:46,360 --> 00:54:48,680
Speaker 1: gotten three or four receptions, I think, or three or

1082
00:54:48,719 --> 00:54:52,399
Speaker 1: four chances at a reception in every game that they've

1083
00:54:52,440 --> 00:54:55,160
Speaker 1: played so far. But I still don't think it's enough.

1084
00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:57,960
Speaker 1: Like I don't. I don't think it's creative enough. You

1085
00:54:58,000 --> 00:54:59,840
Speaker 1: know what I was encouraged by though this week that

1086
00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:02,400
Speaker 1: twice they ran the you know we were talking to

1087
00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:05,080
Speaker 1: last week. I mentioned that angle, Yeah, where they kind

1088
00:55:05,080 --> 00:55:07,040
Speaker 1: of run, they flare him out and then he cuts

1089
00:55:07,080 --> 00:55:09,759
Speaker 1: back into the middle, And they did it twice last week.

1090
00:55:09,840 --> 00:55:12,279
Speaker 1: And I'm really thinking if they just start doing things

1091
00:55:12,360 --> 00:55:15,160
Speaker 1: like that a little more, find routes that he can

1092
00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:17,920
Speaker 1: get open on, find routes where you isolate him in

1093
00:55:18,080 --> 00:55:20,760
Speaker 1: man coverage against a linebacker, he should win that matchup.

1094
00:55:20,960 --> 00:55:23,040
Speaker 1: And that's what you're talking about from a standpoint of creativity.

1095
00:55:23,080 --> 00:55:24,640
Speaker 1: If they can find those kinds of things and not

1096
00:55:24,760 --> 00:55:27,360
Speaker 1: just always whenever he gets a pass it's just the flair.

1097
00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:29,319
Speaker 1: We're only going to get two or three yards at

1098
00:55:29,360 --> 00:55:31,640
Speaker 1: the best. Then I think that's where you're going to

1099
00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:34,719
Speaker 1: see more production out of the running game for ridicularly,

1100
00:55:34,880 --> 00:55:37,359
Speaker 1: I would like to and I know that they did

1101
00:55:37,560 --> 00:55:39,200
Speaker 1: try to get him the ball on a couple of those,

1102
00:55:39,280 --> 00:55:41,799
Speaker 1: but I would still like to see him used more

1103
00:55:41,880 --> 00:55:44,600
Speaker 1: creatively as a receiver. I agree it just when he

1104
00:55:44,719 --> 00:55:46,960
Speaker 1: goes out, it seems like it's always as a decoy

1105
00:55:47,320 --> 00:55:49,359
Speaker 1: and they try to screen with him and it didn't

1106
00:55:49,400 --> 00:55:51,400
Speaker 1: work out. But more often than not, it just seems

1107
00:55:51,440 --> 00:55:54,120
Speaker 1: like it's a dump off that isn't really designed to

1108
00:55:54,200 --> 00:55:56,000
Speaker 1: get more than three or four yards. It seems like

1109
00:55:56,040 --> 00:55:58,160
Speaker 1: a screen ought to be able to work, like they

1110
00:55:58,200 --> 00:56:00,520
Speaker 1: ought to be able to be really good this team.

1111
00:56:00,560 --> 00:56:03,560
Speaker 1: You can screen them if they're that aggressive. Yes, I

1112
00:56:04,600 --> 00:56:09,720
Speaker 1: man misdirection delayed any anything out of the ordinary delays

1113
00:56:09,880 --> 00:56:13,400
Speaker 1: misdirection play action leaf licker. It should work against these guys.

1114
00:56:14,760 --> 00:56:17,279
Speaker 1: These guys only care about My team tried that in

1115
00:56:17,400 --> 00:56:19,440
Speaker 1: the game the other day, and were you just jumping

1116
00:56:19,520 --> 00:56:21,040
Speaker 1: up and down. You didn't care about the result. You

1117
00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:23,520
Speaker 1: were just like they did. Well, here's here's a part

1118
00:56:23,560 --> 00:56:26,960
Speaker 1: of it. You better get it blocked, okay, if you

1119
00:56:27,080 --> 00:56:29,920
Speaker 1: can't block, and then you're only wasted more time. So

1120
00:56:30,280 --> 00:56:32,399
Speaker 1: Larkansas tried it against A and M. They didn't work

1121
00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:35,120
Speaker 1: because they can't block. So that so did you get

1122
00:56:35,239 --> 00:56:38,719
Speaker 1: the ball knocked around? Quarterback caught it and then he

1123
00:56:38,800 --> 00:56:41,239
Speaker 1: had to duck and go underneath and throw it over

1124
00:56:41,320 --> 00:56:44,200
Speaker 1: the middle. Nothing happened. Now get it blocked first. A

1125
00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:47,040
Speaker 1: fleeflicker that doesn't work is like such a It's so

1126
00:56:47,239 --> 00:56:49,799
Speaker 1: disappointing because like you see the quarterback get the ball,

1127
00:56:49,840 --> 00:56:52,239
Speaker 1: you know, oh, oh my god, fleeflicker and then it's

1128
00:56:52,280 --> 00:56:55,360
Speaker 1: just you he gets backed or it doesn't go anywhere,

1129
00:56:55,840 --> 00:56:58,640
Speaker 1: and then you're like, the way it works, it's like, well,

1130
00:56:58,760 --> 00:57:01,640
Speaker 1: I won't see that for a while. Try that. Not

1131
00:57:01,680 --> 00:57:03,520
Speaker 1: gonna do that again this season. All right, we appreciate

1132
