17
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 7: the Cowboys win on Thanksgiving Day versus the Washington Commanders.

18
00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 7: They win forty five to ten, a blowout, huge game

19
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 7: from the standpoint of just looking at the Cowboys adding

20
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 7: another win and trying to keep pace on the possibilities

21
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 7: that maybe they can pull closer to the Philadelphia Eagles

22
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 7: before that matchup a couple of weeks from now. But

23
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 7: we'll talk about what happened in this game. We'll also

24
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 7: have a little bit of talk on some stuff that's

25
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 7: happening around the NFC and a little update on Shaq Leonard.

26
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 3: Cowboys seem to have a little interest there. So we'll

27
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 3: catch up figure out what we're hearing about. You guys

28
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 3: in the building, now, we got to figure it out.

29
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 3: Get it done.

30
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 8: You guys in the building, you had to figure it out.

31
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 8: Did the rest of us outside the building can't help you?

32
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 9: The building? Here we go out? Yeah, all right, So.

33
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 7: Let's talk about this game. Let's start first going around

34
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 7: on the table. Let's get some storylines of the game.

35
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 7: Let's talk with you Patrick, what was your storyline of

36
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:42,119
Speaker 7: this game?

37
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 10: I think for me, one of the biggest storylines is

38
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 10: just how prolific Dak Prescott continues to look. I mean,

39
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 10: there is a lot of good to take away from

40
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 10: this game, but if you look at it from the

41
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 10: aspect of he didn't play a perfect game and still

42
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 10: had four touchdowns and over three hundred yards. I mean

43
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 10: if he example, if he connects with Ceede Lamb on

44
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 10: that deep route down the middle early in the game,

45
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 10: that's one example of a throw that he definitely wants back.

46
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 10: I mean, this might be a five plus touchdown game

47
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 10: four hundred yards. So it just goes to show that

48
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 10: the Cowboys, you know, can continue if they can continue

49
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 10: to be resilient and when things don't go their way,

50
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 10: particularly on offense, if they can just you know, stick

51
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 10: with what's working for them, then they can absolutely continue

52
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 10: to be dominant. The play calling for Michael McCarthy, I

53
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 10: was just in love with it, the way he tortured

54
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 10: some of those mixed coverages, some of the zone looks

55
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 10: that he was getting. You know, talk about that touchdown

56
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 10: down the scene to Cavante Turpin. It put the defensive

57
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,679
Speaker 10: back in another bind, something that we've seen happening here recently.

58
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,359
Speaker 10: Ferguson Schoolmaker touchdown. That was another example making the defensive

59
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 10: back half to choose, knowing that whichever one he chooses, it's.

60
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 2: A touchdown either way.

61
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 10: So as long as the protection continues to hold up

62
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 10: and they continue to be resilient and the play calling

63
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 10: continues to be what it is along with execution, I

64
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:00,239
Speaker 10: love with this offense.

65
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 4: Be.

66
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:03,839
Speaker 9: Offensive, creativity.

67
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 8: I mean Patrick talks about it, but if you look

68
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 8: at what they were able to do, they're continually finding

69
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 8: ways to manipulate the defenses the past, to Ferguson, empty

70
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 8: set three wide receivers, you line up on the right side,

71
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 8: you know, as Ferguson's going vertically. Then you know, turping

72
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 8: goes out and now you're moving people. The flip play

73
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 8: to Pollard on third and six, you know, in order

74
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 8: to get the ball to the edge, and how you

75
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 8: bring guys in motion to get the blocker out in front.

76
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 8: The doubtle screen was a really creative play call at

77
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:39,119
Speaker 8: the time. Kick lead peel Boem, it's a touchdown right

78
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 8: there with your blockers, you know, and then he mentioned

79
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 8: the turpin touchdown. You know, it's when you put people

80
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 8: in a situation where you run, you know, you get

81
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 8: trips formation three to one side, run two to the out,

82
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 8: and they all they all vacate, and now you have

83
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 8: a speech. And the commanders did something. They gambled on

84
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 8: the play. They tried to run. They took their safety

85
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 8: curl and put him as a linebacker like he was

86
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 8: gonna blitz, and then they tried to drop him in coverage.

87
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 8: And Dak saw it all the way. He's like, listen,

88
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 8: if you're gonna play too deep and put that guy

89
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 8: on my slot player and make it like you're trying

90
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 8: to disguise it, I'm gonna make you pay for it.

91
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 9: And that's what they did.

92
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 8: You're starting to see a lot more creativity with this

93
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 8: offense when it comes to how they manipulate the play

94
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 8: in order to allow their receivers and their backs to

95
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 8: have success.

96
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 11: To me, three things that kind of stood out were

97
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 11: one consistency that now and we've been talking about this

98
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 11: every week now, that is just becoming something that is

99
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 11: more consistent of this offense where you can see trends

100
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 11: of them doing it. You talk about you mentioned Dak

101
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 11: him being that quarterback consistently showing up from since that

102
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 11: game against the forty nine ers.

103
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 12: Everything took turn there.

104
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 11: Then the running game, that's something we've been talking about

105
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 11: on the show as well and something I've had my

106
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 11: eyes on. And Tony Poller he ended up de night

107
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 11: with seventy nine yards, which is still it's pretty good.

108
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,039
Speaker 11: And then you add a sprinkle of Rincodal there he

109
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 11: only had like eleven yards, not much, but still the incorporation, yeah,

110
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 11: having them Dak just a running game as a whole.

111
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 11: And then also the ability of seeing of them utilizing

112
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 11: multiple weapons. Now you're not solely relying on one on

113
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,359
Speaker 11: City Lamb. Let's say you're not soly relying on City

114
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 11: Lamb or let's say a Brandon Cooks. Now you're seeing

115
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 11: them consistently using multiple weapons with the help of a

116
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 11: little bit of the running game added on top of

117
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 11: their Yeah, he hit.

118
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,720
Speaker 7: So many different weapons in that game, and it kind of,

119
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 7: to me is just one of those things where I

120
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,359
Speaker 7: just love the fact that, especially like the Turpid play

121
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,039
Speaker 7: was the one that kind of showed me if you're

122
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 7: going to it, and you have to if you're an

123
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 7: opposing team, you have to pay attention to those guys

124
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 7: that are on the perimeter. You got to pay attention

125
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,720
Speaker 7: to CD, gotta pay attention to Cooks. He's getting going,

126
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 7: got to pay attention to the tight end. If your

127
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 7: fourth cornerback or third cornerback or whatever is gonna have

128
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 7: to try to try to deal with with Turpin.

129
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 9: Yah, good luck with that, right.

130
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:18,359
Speaker 7: There's not a lot of teams that have had that

131
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 7: level of depth, and that's where this offense can really go.

132
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 7: They got a ton of offensive weapons and now they're

133
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 7: using all.

134
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 8: Of the Turpin ran basically a forty yard dash on that play, yep,

135
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 8: you know. And the way the way that he was

136
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 8: able to and and give Dak a lot of credit

137
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 8: because he saw it was too deep and he knows

138
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 8: if he's sending Turpin through the middle of that defense,

139
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 8: you know, the commander's trying to cover it.

140
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 9: Kind of a funny.

141
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 8: Way there, but you know, that's that's what you do.

142
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 8: You put pressure on these teams to have to deal

143
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 8: with you in that way. And and and Ambar's right,

144
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 8: it's just not CD. It's it's you know, you got

145
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 8: I think it's a second straight game where cooks led

146
00:06:55,920 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 8: the uh, the the group in reception, in yard and

147
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 8: stuff like that. So you know, good for the good

148
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 8: for them to continue to get things. I think that

149
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 8: this was a game too that Pollard, We're starting to

150
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 8: see it where maybe things are coming back to him.

151
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 8: You know, we all like the next gen stuff, those

152
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 8: fifteen plus mile an hour runs and stuff. He had

153
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 8: several of them in this game. That explosiveness, the way

154
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 8: to get him to the edge, to around the corner

155
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 8: and stuff like that. It was all not the heavy

156
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 8: lifting in the middle, but it was more on the

157
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 8: outside in the edge, and they were really able to

158
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 8: take advantage of that.

159
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 10: And also what you know, kind of going back to

160
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 10: what Brian was saying, when it comes to the creativity,

161
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 10: the play calling. It's really getting fun as far as

162
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 10: even pre snap because you know, we talked about it

163
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 10: quite a bit as far as the Cowboys ramping up

164
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 10: their use of pre snap motion and how it directly

165
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 10: correlates over the past five six games with their offensive explosiveness.

166
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 10: Obviously execution matters as well, but you look at what

167
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 10: they did against the Commanders, almost seventy percent of their

168
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 10: offensive snaps pre snap had some sort of motion involved.

169
00:07:58,160 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 2: So the Cowboys have and Mike.

170
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 10: McCarthy have completely leaned into it and to the point

171
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 10: where now they're right up there rivaling the likes of

172
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 10: like Kyle Shanahan and how often he runs pre snap motion.

173
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 10: So if you love to see that from the Cowboys,

174
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 10: and you should because it reveals where the mismatches might

175
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 10: be pre snap, then that's another reason that this Cowboys

176
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 10: offense should continue to be consistent in what they're doing.

177
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 8: That had a third and six play where, if you remember,

178
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 8: Lamb came back for the ball and ended up getting

179
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 8: fourteen yards in the play motion left to right. So

180
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 8: they're doing things to not allow people to bracket or

181
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 8: double covered Lamb. Yep, but they're also knowing Okay, on

182
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 8: third and six, we want to get into football.

183
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 9: So let's get him on the move.

184
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 8: He goes past the sticks, comes back for the ball,

185
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 8: breaks a tackle like he seems to do all the time,

186
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 8: and you get fourteen yards. You know they're just looking

187
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 8: to get a first down. That turns into a fourteen

188
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 8: yard play all started because they left right motion to

189
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 8: get him going up the field.

190
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 10: And it's also when you're talking about guys like Ceedee Lamb,

191
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 10: Brandon Cooks, Cavante Turpin, this motion helps them in their

192
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,559
Speaker 10: skill set as well, because you're not asking them to

193
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,959
Speaker 10: go from zero to have to beat the guy off

194
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 10: the press or whatever the case may be. They're already

195
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 10: in motion, they're already moving, legs are already moving. So

196
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 10: it's much easier to go from second gear to sixth

197
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,439
Speaker 10: gear than from the first gear to six gears. So

198
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 10: when you add in that capacity as well, I mean

199
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 10: it's working and I believe it will continue to do. So.

200
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think one of the things that that fans

201
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:20,319
Speaker 7: need to do is the need to give some credit

202
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 7: to Mike McCarthy because absolutely, for years, for real years,

203
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:28,439
Speaker 7: fans have been clamoring for scheming guys open, figuring out

204
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 7: ways to get guys open and not just relying on

205
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 7: we can beat you because our guys are better, right,

206
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 7: And that's what you're seeing right now. You're seeing this

207
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 7: scheme and the scheme of what they're trying to do.

208
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 7: You see the offense actually creating opportunities for guys to

209
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 7: get open, and then they're taking advantage of it. The

210
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 7: quarterbacks taking advantage of the receivers are taking advantage of it.

211
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 7: And I think a lot of credit has to go

212
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 7: to Mike McCarthy, and that's not something that always happens

213
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 7: with fans.

214
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 3: It's got to make it take the time to give

215
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 3: that credit to Mike and car No.

216
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 12: That it's kind of starting to work out.

217
00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 11: No, no, that is finally clicking and it's working now now,

218
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 11: you know. You take a seat back and you're like, Okay,

219
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 11: I guess that was pretty quick. And the fact that

220
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 11: he was able to turn things around.

221
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 9: You know, but they were not very good the first

222
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 9: five games, absolutely not, and.

223
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 3: We're all questioning.

224
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 11: But now you think of five games looking like okay,

225
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 11: when you're making a change like that, big, that's fair.

226
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 11: Five games should be kind of the grace of like Okay,

227
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 11: it took this long to make I.

228
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 2: Think we're at the point now we can say just

229
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 2: let Mike cook. Okay, let them cook.

230
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 7: I got a bigger question for y'all looking at how

231
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 7: this this offense performed over the last two years. This

232
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 7: has been an offense that has always been in the

233
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 7: top of the league. They're consistently there when Kelvin Moore

234
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,599
Speaker 7: was the offensive coordinator. Do you think this version of

235
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 7: the offense is better than the version last year in

236
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 7: the year before.

237
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 9: Yes, I do.

238
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 3: That's good.

239
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 8: I do, and I do for the reason, maybe not

240
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 8: for the running game aspect of it.

241
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 9: But what they're doing throw the football.

242
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 8: And I think your quarterback plays better in this kind

243
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 8: of where you create opportunities for him. And I'm not

244
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 8: saying you have to scheme guys open all the time,

245
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 8: because that two point play, he threw that thing through

246
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 8: a hole that you know that we've seen that ball

247
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 8: get intercepted before with Dak you know, And and I

248
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 8: honestly believe he wanted to throw the ball off the

249
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 8: pick to to Ferguson on the drag and he pulled

250
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 8: it back and and and give Lamb a lot of

251
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 8: credit for keep running, you know, keep running this route

252
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 8: because he found he found a hole. But man, if

253
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 8: you tell me that, I think the passing game is

254
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 8: better because of the way the combinations of the routes

255
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 8: are scheming guys open. But I think we're still trying

256
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 8: to kind of figure out that running game from the

257
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 8: from the old the old days.

258
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 10: It took me a moment. I had to really assess,

259
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 10: and I'm going to go with yes. Also, I think

260
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,839
Speaker 10: that obviously the run game was better, you know, I

261
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 10: want to say back in the day, but over the

262
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 10: past couple of seasons. But when you look at when

263
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 10: you compare the passing attack, it's it's not even that

264
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 10: it's simply a three headed attack, which is what everyone

265
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 10: was kind of looking toward. Brandon Cooks, Michael Gallup, Cede Lamb, Well,

266
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 10: it's really City Lamb, Brandon Cooks, Jake Ferguson, Jaylen Tobert,

267
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 10: Michael Gallup, Cavante Turpin, Jalen Brooks. I mean, you have

268
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 10: all these weapons, and then if Schoolmaker can start to

269
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 10: contribute as a receiver as well, you combine that with

270
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 10: what are we talking about, pre snap motion and creativity

271
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 10: and the play calling and misdirection and then what else

272
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 10: are we talking about? Dirty deck has arrived, he's using

273
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 10: his legs, he's extending plays, he's making it hard on

274
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:38,599
Speaker 10: defensive backs with long coverage windows against highly skilled receivers.

275
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,439
Speaker 10: So in that capacity, in those capacities, absolutely, this is

276
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:42,439
Speaker 10: a better offense.

277
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 8: Well, the offensive lines making it easy on you too,

278
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 8: right now, Finally, yeah, they really are.

279
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 3: Which there was a time this season that we didn't

280
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 3: know if that would come around.

281
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 8: No, there was a lot of big questions there about

282
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 8: you know, and to me, it's when your center plays

283
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 8: better and your right tackle plays better. This offensive lines

284
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:00,439
Speaker 8: generally pretty good.

285
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 10: And to that point, if you go back and you

286
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,559
Speaker 10: look at the Cavante Turpin touchdown Terrence Steel Zach Martin,

287
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 10: they gave Dak Prescott just enough time to read, do

288
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 10: the pump fake, to drag the dB to the right

289
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 10: to Cooks, and then release that ball to Cavante Turpin.

290
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 10: If that protection breaks down, that touchdown doesn't happen. Maybe

291
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 10: he dumps it off to Ferguson on the right. Maybe

292
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 10: he dumps it off to poll on the lift and

293
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 10: the release and maybe you get the first down, but

294
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 10: you don't get that touchdown.

295
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 9: Well, they had they had a deal.

296
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:28,959
Speaker 8: They had a deal too, And I believe it was

297
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 8: one of the plays where it was a third and eleven,

298
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 8: just just remembering plays from the day and Cooks caught

299
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 8: the ball inside and he's running a route where Dak

300
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:44,479
Speaker 8: flushes left and Tyron Smith just pins everybody to the inside.

301
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:48,079
Speaker 8: And Tyron Smith by pinning everybody there, that gets Prescott

302
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 8: to the edge and now he's able to set his

303
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 8: feet and make the throw. So here you are you

304
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,079
Speaker 8: throw a ball for you know, for a third and

305
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 8: eleven play, it's been a twenty five yard game, you know,

306
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 8: because your quarterback's mobility, you were receiver smart enough.

307
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:02,199
Speaker 9: To find the hole in the zone.

308
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,079
Speaker 8: And then also the quarterback also sets his feet and

309
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 8: makes a really really nice throw and you get that

310
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 8: pin everybody pinned to the inside there on the on

311
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 8: the pass rush and Dak was a single time two

312
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:15,680
Speaker 8: games in a row, now, right.

313
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 11: I was going to say, the biggest difference, uh to

314
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 11: me between the two schemes and the changes is just

315
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 11: the way DAK is playing as a whole. Because even

316
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 11: with Kellen Moore, we saw creative plays, We saw them

317
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 11: filling up the stats sheets, you know, being the top

318
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 11: NFL offense. In the NFL, we saw them utilizing different

319
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 11: weapons as well, But now the way Dak is playing,

320
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 11: to me, it just gives everything else like a whole sense,

321
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 11: like a different sense of confidence and comfort level on

322
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 11: the field, Like you go out there and you can

323
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 11: trust him and not not that you couldn't trust him before,

324
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 11: and he's always been a great leader, but there's just

325
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 11: something a whole like just different, and I get it,

326
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 11: like the running game is still missing and you do

327
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 11: need to keep improving on that. And I like to

328
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 11: think it's more of the injuries that have happened and

329
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 11: maybe that's what's kind of messed up your running game

330
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 11: as a whole. But also, uh, it's just I just

331
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 11: see everything leading back to Dak and just being more

332
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 11: comfortable and using his legs and running and him just

333
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 11: having it really being able to connect with his receivers

334
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 11: so well, like knowing now where this player is going

335
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 11: to land and get there some of those long deep

336
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 11: passes down the field.

337
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 12: I mean, he's shown a lot more of that happening

338
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 12: this year.

339
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 9: They haven't turned the ball over to and that's really

340
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 9: really helps.

341
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 10: I think Deck's channeling his girl, dead energy. I think

342
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 10: that's what's really going on.

343
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 7: Shout out to him, congratulations, your life is changing forever,

344
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 7: young man.

345
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 3: All right, let's let's take our first break. We come back.

346
00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 7: I want to talk a little bit more about that

347
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 7: running game and is this running game at least what

348
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 7: we saw from Tony poll this game is that what

349
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 7: the offense really needs. Is it a little different than

350
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 7: what they had last year, but is that sufficient for

351
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 7: what they need in order to be effective.

352
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 3: We'll talk about that when we come back. This is

354
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 13: Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the

355
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 13: cheatah Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat repellent he bought

356
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 13: online was reliable, and now Todd is trying to be

357
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 13: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.

358
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 13: But the good news is Todd has AT and T

359
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 13: five G. It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he

360
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 13: learned the best thing to do is stop running and

361
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 13: toss her the backpack with the beef stew At and

362
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 13: T five G. Fast, reliable, secure, It's not complicated.

363

00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:53,919
Speaker 9: Do we take Missus Clause out of this one? Did she?

417
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 6: Was?

418
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 9: She go back home?

419
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:56,439
Speaker 3: I don't think so.

420
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 9: I thought there was a couple of reads before Missus.

421
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:02,160
Speaker 3: If mister Clause er, my guess is missus as well.

422
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 8: Maybe they realized I can't read this read very well

423
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:06,239
Speaker 8: and they'd start taking words out of it.

424
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:07,479
Speaker 9: That's I think what they did right now.

425
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:08,479
Speaker 3: I don't think that's what they did.

426
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 8: Missus Claus was not there on Friday night, just letting

427
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,160
Speaker 8: you know, okay, let her go home.

428
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,679
Speaker 9: Yeah, I don't know. It was part of it that

429
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:18,399
Speaker 9: she was part of the original stuff. So I was

430
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 9: there though Santa.

431
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 3: Was there, all right?

432
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 9: All right?

433
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 3: Maybe she just got Santa set up and then she's like,

434
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,160
Speaker 3: I gotta other I got I gotta get out here.

435
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 9: All right.

436
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 7: Let's talk about the running game, Tony Pollout. This game

437
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,159
Speaker 7: had thirteen carriages for seventy nine yards, a six point

438
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 7: one average, really good average, one touchdown, then had another

439
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 7: six receptions for twenty four yards. All in all for

440
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 7: fantasy players out there, really great fantasy day. But that

441
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,479
Speaker 7: being said, is this what this offense really needs from

442
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,919
Speaker 7: the running back position? I mean, these aren't Goudy numbers,

443
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 7: but these are numbers that maybe this is what the

444
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,119
Speaker 7: offense needs. If you're throwing the ball as well as

445
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:51,199
Speaker 7: the Cowboys are throwing the ball, maybe this is what

446
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 7: you need from the running back.

447
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 2: So do you guys think I agree with it?

448
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 10: I mean, we mentioned several times on the podcast that

449
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 10: I specifically I know that I feel like the Cowboys

450
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 10: should continue to use the pass to set up the

451
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 10: run until further notice, you know, until a defense presents

452
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,679
Speaker 10: itself that forces you to flip that, continue to use

453
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:11,159
Speaker 10: the pass to set up the run. And doing that,

454
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 10: all you need the run to do. The run offense

455
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 10: to be is effective enough to make the opposing defense respected.

456
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 2: That's all you need it to be. You also need

457
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 2: your running backs.

458
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 10: To be able to be receivers out of the backfield

459
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 10: as well.

460
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 2: Tony Polter can do that.

461
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 10: You saw Rico daldod he can do that with the

462
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,360
Speaker 10: touchdown on the quick screen. You know that you can

463
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 10: get some flecks out of Hunter Lipkey if you were

464
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 10: to do that as well. So really all you need

465
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 10: is from your running backs. Three things. One, be excellent

466
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 10: in pass pro because again you're trying to set up

467
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 10: the run with the pass. Second, make sure that when

468
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 10: they are taking the handoffs that it's respectable games. Doesn't

469
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 10: have to be tearing off six seven yards a game,

470
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 10: just respectable four and a half.

471
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 2: That should do it.

472
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,119
Speaker 10: And then the third thing is be an effective receiver

473
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 10: out of the backfield, and that'll keep opposing defenses from

474
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 10: adding guys to the box and if you you know,

475
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 10: can add them to the box, and that just helps

476
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:02,880
Speaker 10: you out from the run game.

477
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 2: So one hand washes the other.

478
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 11: Yeah, I think if it's that type of performance, I'll.

479
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 12: Take that every week.

480
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 11: I mean, it works out perfectly and I'm okay with

481
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 11: that type of running game performance especially. Yes, absolutely, but

482
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 11: it does concern me. I'm trying to think, okay, one matchup,

483
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 11: but I still don't feel like you can't solely rely

484
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 11: on or depend on the running game.

485
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 12: That is still an.

486
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 11: A non no. Like you know, we were talking about consistency.

487
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 11: I can feel like the Cowboys can consistently show up

488
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,920
Speaker 11: with Dak Prescott in the passing game. The running game.

489
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 11: That's a different story. You don't know, that's a gamble,

490
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,160
Speaker 11: that's a whole gamble. You don't know if it's gonna

491
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 11: work out or not just yet. But the good thing

492
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 11: and the promising thing is that it's starting to trend

493
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 11: upwards and you're are to see improvement. But yeah, they

494
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,359
Speaker 11: still need to get better. Don't get me wrong, and

495
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 11: I'll take that all day, but it's just something that

496
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 11: I don't think can be relied on.

497
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 8: I don't know if they can kill a game, a

498
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 8: close game, if they had to, if they had to

499
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,399
Speaker 8: get into a four minute offense and kill this game.

500
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,439
Speaker 8: I don't know if they can do that right now

501
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 8: because they play so many blowout games. I do know

502
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 8: on third and six they can get fourteen yards if

503
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,439
Speaker 8: it's blocked well and the runner explodes the way he

504
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 8: did on the edge. They're running some toss stuff that

505
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 8: they seem to be playing perimeter football, which I think

506
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:39,200
Speaker 8: is really really good.

507
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 9: I like that.

508
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,199
Speaker 8: I'm with Amber. I'll take the one hundred yards a

509
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 8: game for sure, but I'm not sure I can hang

510
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,680
Speaker 8: my hat on finishing a game if I had to,

511
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,959
Speaker 8: if it was closed and you got the ball and

512
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 8: we got to get three first downs and this thing's over.

513
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 8: I don't know if they can do that right now

514
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 8: with the way the running game is currently is.

515
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 7: Yeah, I agree with you on that, And I also

516
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 7: think the other challenge will be what happens when you

517
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 7: get into a game where you can't throw, And what

518
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 7: I mean by that is the weather doesn't allow you

519
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,399
Speaker 7: to throw. We know that game's coming up here in

520
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 7: December where they're gonna have to travel to Buffalo. I

521
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 7: don't know how many people saw this sweek in out

522
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 7: watching that Kansas I think it was the Kansas State, Kansas.

523
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 3: State and Iowa State.

524
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 7: Yeah, and the whole field is white and snow is

525
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 7: just like you can't really even see everything completely.

526
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 3: And I was.

527
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 7: Thinking December and Buffalo, that looks like that could be

528
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 7: a possibility. And you get into a game like that,

529
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 7: you got to run the ball. There is no throwing

530
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 7: the ball downfield like the Cowboys are doing right now

531
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:36,159
Speaker 7: in those kind of conditions, by and.

532
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 3: Large, So if you get in one of those games,

533
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 3: can you run the ball.

534
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:41,400
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's the thing. I think in Buffalo, you worry

535
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 8: about the cold, but you worry about the wind.

536
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 9: Yeah.

537
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 8: That's another one that's going to affect a passing game

538
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 8: quite a bit there. And you know, I give Josh

539
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,160
Speaker 8: Allen a lot of credit yesterday that the conditions in

540
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 8: Philadelphia were. Yeah, it's pretty awful, and he was throwing

541
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,359
Speaker 8: the ball around pretty well. But he's used to that.

542
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 8: He played at Wyoming, you know, he Buffalo's his home now.

543
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:03,400
Speaker 8: You know, these quarterbacks, they adapt. But yeah, it does

544
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,239
Speaker 8: affect your ability to move the ball when you have

545
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,879
Speaker 8: to deal with elements, and mainly to me, throwing the

546
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:10,159
Speaker 8: ball as always been wind.

547
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 9: That's the one that kind of gets you.

548
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 7: Yeah, and that's one you definitely can face when you

549
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 7: get up to Buffalo.

550
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 3: Cacember, Yeah, no doubt about it.

551
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 7: All right, let's talk about the offensive line. Yesterday, Dak

552
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 7: was not sucked sacked at all. He only got he

553
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 7: only got hit twice. Yeah, sorry, yeah Thursday, Sorry, I'm

554
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 7: away off. And then Paula obviously we talked about the

555
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 7: day that he had talk to me, specifically about the

556
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 7: interior offensive lineman Tyler Smith, Tyler and Zach Martin. How

557
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 7: did they do against those two, those two big defensive tack.

558
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,680
Speaker 8: That was a big win because I believe you only

559
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 8: got one pressure off the pass rushers that you had,

560
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,159
Speaker 8: so going into that game, I know on on on

561
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,440
Speaker 8: one O five three the fan on the pregame show

562
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:52,399
Speaker 8: that we do one of the things. I felt like

563
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 8: if the Cowboys were going to have success on offense,

564
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:59,360
Speaker 8: it was going to be on Martin, Beattish and Smith

565
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,120
Speaker 8: to be able to hold up against the inside too.

566
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 8: I wasn't so concerned about what was going on on

567
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 8: the edges with this Commander's defense. It was inside, but

568
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 8: the amount of dropbacks you had and the lack of

569
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 8: pressure there, the hits and all that, I think they

570
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 8: did a really really nice job of holding up inside.

571
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 8: You just worry about those two guys pushing the pocket

572
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:24,120
Speaker 8: and affecting it, and Dak had no problem at all,

573
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 8: even there were a couple of times where he got

574
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 8: to step up and throw balls. So helmet stickers for

575
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,160
Speaker 8: those three guys. For the way they played against those

576
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 8: two commanders tackles.

577
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's one of the best, you know, interior tandems

578
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:38,879
Speaker 10: in the entire NFL. And you could put them up

579
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 10: against anyone and they'll probably have a phenomenal day. So

580
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,919
Speaker 10: to see how well Tyler Biadish played and Tyler Smith

581
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 10: continues to just play lights out. And we talked about

582
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 10: Zach marr and in a couple of cracks in the armor.

583
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,919
Speaker 10: But the Army looked pretty good on Thanksgiving against some

584
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 10: of the best and strongest interior defensive linemen in the

585
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 10: entire league. So like Brynce helmestickers to those guys, because

586
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 10: Dak Prescott really had some time in that pocket as

587
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 10: far as the interior, which then forced the issue to

588
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 10: the edges. Uh, and that you know, the commanders don't

589
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 10: have the horses at the edges anyhow, they don't have chance,

590
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,400
Speaker 10: you know the Montes switch. So winning on that interior

591
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:16,199
Speaker 10: basically set the Cowboys up for success.

592
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:19,160
Speaker 8: There was really only one negative play Pollard had got

593
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:21,439
Speaker 8: trapped behind the line for a loss. But man, that

594
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 8: made beyondish my man Mark. We interviewed Zach Martin to

595
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 8: down the radio. I think he left his I think

596
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 8: he left his buddy Tyler Biodish out on the island

597
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 8: on that one. It was a real wide technique there

598
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 8: and Alan was able to get it and Zach's like

599
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:37,119
Speaker 8: I'm going around him, and poor Beiondish is like like

600
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 8: he's trying, but you know he uh, Alan got.

601
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 9: In the backfield and it was it was yeah, it

602
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 9: was that was.

603
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 8: It was really one of the only negative plays that

604
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 8: you saw that those guys made against against you.

605
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:51,160
Speaker 11: Well, we had a plenty of discussions wondering how long

606
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 11: it would take for this online to start being in

607
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 11: sync and on.

608
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 12: The same page.

609
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:01,679
Speaker 11: It was about four games, uh, which is about ride

610
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 11: with a lot of what you guys were saying and

611
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 11: Nate was saying on his show. But they just seem

612
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,399
Speaker 11: like they're in sync now they're they're not. Everybody seems

613
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 11: to be on the same page and knows what the

614
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 11: other one is doing, so it's not the whole And

615
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:21,359
Speaker 11: also not getting beat one on one, which happened a

616
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,359
Speaker 11: whole lot in the last several.

617
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 8: Weeks Philadelphia with the right tackle was kind of a.

618
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:31,160
Speaker 11: They have several games where you could see just one

619
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,919
Speaker 11: on one battles of guys just getting beat which is

620
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 11: not common. It's very uncommon for these guys. They have

621
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 11: experience and they're big, tough guys that know what they're doing.

622
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 11: But something was off either way. The point is they're

623
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 11: in sync now and everybody is holding up their own

624
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:48,119

00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 7: And I'm kind of remiss that we've gotten to the

686
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 7: third segment and having mentioned.

687
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 2: Deron Bland because he deserves his own segment.

688
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 3: There you go.

689
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 7: This man has broken the NFL record for the number

690
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 7: of pick six is in.

691
00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 3: A season now with five.

692
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 7: In my opinion, he should be I don't care what

693
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 7: else apples the rest of the year. He should be

694
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 7: Defensive Player of the Year. But that's neither here nor there.

695
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 7: Talk to me first about Dron Bland and what he's

696
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 7: meant to this team so far, this to this point

697
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 7: of the season.

698
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 10: Wow, I mean, that's that sums it up for me

699
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 10: thus far. When you look at this is a second

700
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 10: year guy who flew out of the gates as a

701
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 10: rookie led the team in interceptions with five, but that

702
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 10: was at Nickel. Come into this season, he's at Nickel again.

703
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 10: You lose Trayvon Diggs. He immediately gets bounced to the outside.

704
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 10: Question is can he even remotely fill the shoes of

705
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 10: Trayvon Diggs, who's a record setting cornerback in his own right,

706
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 10: and here he is five picks six is later. That

707
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 10: question has been answered just magnificently. So he's playing fantastic football.

708
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 10: He's your resident ballhawk. You have a lot of ballhawks,

709
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 10: but he is the He is him when it comes

710
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 10: to the hawk and the ball. But what's even more

711
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 10: insane is it's not the interceptions. It's the fact that

712
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 10: he keeps finding the end zone. After he gets the

713
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 10: interception that picks six against the Commanders. He looked like

714
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 10: a punk returner after he got that interception, the way

715
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 10: he set up Sam Howe with the angles and forced

716
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 10: him to turn the wrong way and then forced two

717
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 10: wide receivers to collide into each other. Allah Mike Vick

718
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 10: in Minnesota in the playoffs. I mean, I can't.

719
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 2: I don't have enough.

720
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 10: Adjectives to describe how great the Cowboys need to feel

721
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 10: about the Ron Bland. And there's still several games enough

722
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 10: to play in this regular season. So might we get six?

723
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 10: Might we get seven? It's insane. It's insane what he's doing.

724
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 10: So I hope everyone's enjoying this in real time because

725
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 10: you're going to look back on this years and years

726
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 10: from now and realize that you're probably never see anything

727
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 10: like this again.

728
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 11: Yeah, well, I'm sitting on a couch my teeth falling off,

729
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 11: and I'll be like, oh, yes to my little grandkids, Yes,

730
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 11: I was a press box.

731
00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 7: And the interesting thing about the press box, you know,

732
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 7: there's no cheering in the box, but when I tell

733
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 7: you the press box kind of exploded a little bit like,

734
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 7: oh my god, I can't believe he caught it, and

735
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 7: then like is he gonna take oh, and then people

736
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 7: are just like losing their minds.

737
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 3: It was.

738
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 7: It was actually a really cool moment because you're not

739
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 7: supposed to cheer in the press box, but everybody was

740
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 7: just amazed by what was happening.

741
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 11: No, no, it was absolutely amazing to just live that

742
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 11: moment and live his experience, like enjoyed that through his

743
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 11: eyes and like his presence, Like you feel like you're

744
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 11: living it with him, even though you had nothing to

745
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 11: do with it. But even when we were out there

746
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 11: waiting outside the locker room, you could hear how loud

747
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 11: the locker room got and them cheering, So that that

748
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 11: is the coolest part of it all. It's just seeing

749
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 11: your teammates, how they react to it, how they celebrate you,

750
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 11: and such a big win and such a cool thing

751
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 11: and he's you know, he's like having to do all

752
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 11: these interviews after the game and all kind of nervous,

753
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 11: don't know what's say. But now his gloves and what

Speaker 11: And he's he's such a humble, nice guy.

763
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 9: If he doesn't pick that ball off, he had a

764
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 9: rough day. Yeah, he really did.

765
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:36,320
Speaker 8: He let's get to yeah, no, seriously, you know, Samuel,

766

Speaker 8: you play in the National Football League. You you're going

773
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 8: to come across some receivers that we've talked about this

774
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:56,439
Speaker 8: in the in the the build up to the game,

775

Speaker 8: the way that he played in this game, you know,

779
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 8: because yeah, he was you know, and that's the first

780
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:10,799
Speaker 8: receiver that the Cowboys had given up that had one

781
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 8: hundred yards, so uh, you know, and you have a

782
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:15,240
Speaker 8: three hundred yard passer on the dot and one hundred

783
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:18,880
Speaker 8: yard receiver on the dot. Yeah, and so it was

784
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:21,359
Speaker 8: a it was a rough game for him that way.

785
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 8: Anytime you have a corner that has ten tackles in

786
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:27,919
Speaker 8: a game, that usually means they're going after a guy.

787
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 8: And they felt like that they can double move him,

788
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 8: they felt like and a lot of teams are doing

789
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 8: this now because of how aggressive he plays, you know,

790
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 8: and how he's able to position himself to get these interceptions. Uh,

791
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:44,840
Speaker 8: it's incredible the ball skills he has. But you know, uh,

792
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 8: I'm surprised. I thought that more people would attack Gilmore

793
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:52,279
Speaker 8: on the other side. It really hasn't come out that way.

794
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:54,759
Speaker 8: It's it's been more about now Gilmour on the other

795
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 8: side against Terry McLaurin. He was McLaren caught one ball,

796
00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:00,320
Speaker 8: six targets, you know, and when when you're dealing with

797
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 8: that way, so overall other than Samuel, but they made

798
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:09,279
Speaker 8: a point to get Samuel over on Bland in this game,

799
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:12,440
Speaker 8: and he's gonna have to be He's gonna have to

800
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:14,839
Speaker 8: be ready for that because people feel like that they

801
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:17,880
Speaker 8: can move him now with that aggressiveness he placed with.

802
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 7: Well, I'll just ask you this question, Brian, if are

803
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 7: you okay with the idea of giving up ten doings,

804
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:27,560
Speaker 7: say twelve catches for one hundred and twenty yards or whatever,

805
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 7: for one hundred and twenty yards, giving up that not

806
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 7: giving up a touchdown those he didn't get beat deep,

807
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 7: and still having the ability to get those pick sixes.

808
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 3: Are you okay with that?

809
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 7: Because for that kind of cornerback, the picks is going

810
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 7: to take those chances. That means sometimes he's probably gonna

811
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 7: get beat a little bit. And that definitely means if

812
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:45,799
Speaker 7: he's gonna have to come up and make the tackle

813
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 7: and it looks like he was making those tackles, it

814
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 7: wasn't like he was getting beat deep, didn't look like

815
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 7: he was giving up a lot of big plays. No,

816
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 7: he would just have to rally and tackle. Would you

817
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 7: be willing to give that up?

818
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 8: The pick sixes are worth four sacks if you want

819
00:36:57,480 --> 00:36:59,840
Speaker 8: to play metrics games with that. If you look at

820
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,880
Speaker 8: with the percentage of a what it picks six means

821
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 8: to as opposed to what a sack means, that's like

822
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:08,280
Speaker 8: getting four wow sacks.

823
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 3: That's crazy.

824
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 8: So no, I you know, I'm just pointing out that.

825
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:14,439
Speaker 8: You know, this kid's an incredible player. Don't get me wrong.

826
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:17,239
Speaker 8: I'm just saying though he had a rough day, you know,

827
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 8: when it comes to I'll take the pick sixes all day.

828
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:23,360
Speaker 8: I'll take the way he come. Now, eight receptions for

829
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:25,239
Speaker 8: one hundred and twenty yards. If one of those is

830
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:27,359
Speaker 8: a touchdown or two of those is a touchdown, maybe

831
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 8: we're talking a different game. But you know, I just

832
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:34,400
Speaker 8: you have to be able to he is. Teams are not.

833
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:38,719
Speaker 8: Even though he's had so much success. This team did

834
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:41,759
Speaker 8: not shy away from him, and I wonder if other

835
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 8: teams are seeing the same thing. That's the only thing

836
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 8: I'm pointing out here. I'm not trying to discount the

837
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:49,720
Speaker 8: player at all, because he's a hell of a football player.

838
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 8: He's I was more worried about losing a really great

839
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 8: slot player than I was. To me him playing for

840
00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 8: Diggs was never going to be a question who was

841
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:01,440
Speaker 8: going to be in the slot. That was my question

842
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 8: right there. So he's got to be ready that these

843
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 8: teams are going to they're going to work on him,

844
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 8: you know, and and and he's he'll make them pay,

845
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 8: but he but he needs to be ready for that.

846
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 7: When you look at a Curtis Samuel, I think of

847
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 7: him as a very skilled guy that knows how to

848
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 7: get open, can work in the slot. Some what are

849
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:23,440
Speaker 7: the kind of guys do the Cowboys face that that

850
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:25,880
Speaker 7: maybe teams say because you said they made a concerted

851
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 7: effort to make sure they put got him on the land.

852
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:30,880
Speaker 7: I think of a guy like Devonte Smith. But what

853
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:32,719
Speaker 7: would be another guy that maybe the Cowboys have to

854
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 7: play that you look at and you're like, that's the

855
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:35,799
Speaker 7: kind of player you'd have to be aware of if

856
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 7: they're going to do those kinds of things.

857
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 8: Maybe he'll yeah, you know, he'll or waddle. All those

858
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:43,440
Speaker 8: guys that can really really run, Yeah, you know, it's

859
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:47,319
Speaker 8: because what happens is their speed. Their speed will make

860
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:49,880
Speaker 8: you nervous, you know, their ability if you if all

861
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 8: of a sudden, they fake like they're breaking in on

862
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:54,759
Speaker 8: an indcut and you have to chase that down and

863
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 8: Land can chase. But you know, we're talking about about

864
00:38:58,000 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 8: some guys with some elite speed.

865
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 9: So if you know, the whole.

866
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:04,799
Speaker 8: Thing about selling routes is you know, Samuel did a

867
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:08,000
Speaker 8: really good job of selling his routes and and you know,

868
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 8: and and it it forced forced Bland to have to

869
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:13,879
Speaker 8: kind of got putting some bad situations there.

870
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 9: But you're gonna play some teams.

871
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 8: I mean, what about a buffalo with with Diggs, you know,

872
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 8: and that crew, and then and then there's the Gabe Davis.

873
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:25,360
Speaker 8: Is it gave Davis is a you know, there's guys

874
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 8: that can make plays there. They're they're going to face

875
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:30,399
Speaker 8: some wide receivers down the stretch here that I think

876
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:32,360
Speaker 8: that they're they're all going to have to be on

877
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 8: their A games.

878
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 7: All right, real quick before we end the show, Patrick,

879
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:38,400
Speaker 7: what do we know right now about Shack Leonard?

880
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 10: Uh He's scheduled to be in the facility here this week,

881
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 10: early this week obviously, if not tomorrow, which is correctly

882
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 10: tomorrow's Tuesday, Okay, I feel the uh per multiple reports

883
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 10: it will be tomorrow but I'm hearing it'll be no

884
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 10: later than Wednesday. Obviously, the Cowboys have a game on Thursday,

885
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:59,799
Speaker 10: so it won't be then. But Cowboys have a lot

886
00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:03,520
Speaker 10: of interest in him. Initially, they were doing due diligence

887
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 10: on the medical aspect of it, trying to do some

888
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:08,760
Speaker 10: digging seeing what they could come up with their Obviously

889
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 10: they're at the point where they are satisfied with that

890
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 10: portion of it, so they invited him to come on down.

891
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:17,360
Speaker 10: And obviously the interest is mutual because yesterday he was

892
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:19,360
Speaker 10: at the coach game. So he's catching a flight for

893
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:22,160
Speaker 10: Indianapolis to come sit down and talk with Jerry, Stephen

894
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:26,600
Speaker 10: McLay in the front office, McCarthy, probably some former teammates

895
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:30,239
Speaker 10: Stefan Gilmore, Brandon Cook. So those relationships exist here as well.

896
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 10: And the Cowboys they as long as those talks bear fruit.

897
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:36,400
Speaker 10: I mean, they really do want him, and they are

898
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:38,920
Speaker 10: also up against the reality that there are other teams

899
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:41,440
Speaker 10: that want him as well, one particularly being in your

900
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:44,680
Speaker 10: division who just went ten to one, who might have

901
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 10: lost that.

902
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 3: Cunningham the second line back correct due to injury, so.

903
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 2: He's scheduled to be here.

904
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:56,880
Speaker 10: Cowboys want him to stick around so fingers crossed because Brian, myself,

905
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:59,879
Speaker 10: Derek and Ambar, we all want shaqu Lynn hay Shack.

906
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:03,040
Speaker 2: If you're listening, yeah, when you get here, stay here.

907
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:05,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's how you come on through it.

908
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 9: Yeah.

909
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 8: I think the one thing you always have to appreciate

910
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:11,840
Speaker 8: about the way that Jerry Steven will.

911
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:14,319
Speaker 9: Like those guys. They recruit very very well. Yep.

912
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:16,759
Speaker 8: And usually when they get somebody in the building out

913
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:19,839
Speaker 8: in PACIFICA, the agents usually kind of work things out.

914
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:23,960
Speaker 9: So hopefully that'll be the case. You mentioned Philadelphia.

915
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 8: I know it was that Josiah Anderson said that Philly

916
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:29,680
Speaker 8: wasn't interested. I had people in Philly tell me they

917
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:33,719
Speaker 8: were interested, So you know, hey, everybody's getting information nowadays.

918
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 8: But yeah, the injuries to the Eagles is something that

919
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:38,719
Speaker 8: is now have a little bit of a concern to them.

920
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:41,680
Speaker 8: At the linebacker spot. You clearly saw that late in

921
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 8: the game that Buffalo was able to run the ball

922
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:47,759
Speaker 8: inside and they just weren't good enough to defend the run.

923
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:49,799
Speaker 8: I don't think they want to get into the playoffs

924
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:53,319
Speaker 8: with a leaky defense when it comes to running the ball.

925
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:56,319
Speaker 8: They have those two big inside tackles and they got

926
00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:59,319
Speaker 8: Fletcher Cox. It's even nicked up right now too, so

927
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 8: they might be a little bit of a bad spot

928
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:02,560
Speaker 8: there with the injuries.

929
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:04,320
Speaker 7: When you start thinking about it, really there, their secondary

930
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 7: is probably the weakest part of that defense. Now if

931
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:08,239
Speaker 7: you add linebacker to that, now you got some real

932
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:09,280
Speaker 7: problems on that defense.

933
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 3: So I agree with you. I think they would probably

934
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:11,799
Speaker 3: be in the mix.

935
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:14,800
Speaker 7: But what I do love is you put Jerry in

936
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 7: a situation where he's got your sell. Hey man, I'll

937
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:20,239
Speaker 7: put him up against almost anybody when he's got to sell.

938
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:22,279
Speaker 2: They have.

939
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 10: They have the fire power to get this deal done.

940
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:28,320
Speaker 10: They have the the personal connections gil Moore and cooks

941
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:31,480
Speaker 10: uh than Gus Bradley. And when you know you have that,

942
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 10: you have the beauty of the facility as far as

943
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:37,360
Speaker 10: wooing the player. You have the offense that's come alive.

944
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 10: You have City which I think the City City as

945
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:43,319
Speaker 10: well met magnificent. It's not a hard sale. And on

946
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 10: top of that, you also have the cap space to

947
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:45,680
Speaker 10: get this done.

948
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:46,600
Speaker 9: Are killing Dallas?

949
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:50,880
Speaker 7: No, she said, it's not a hard I got.

950
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 3: I got you're trying to say, Dallas.

951
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 11: When you look at team and yeah, there's some they're

952
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:01,759
Speaker 11: in the hut crap about the covers and all, but

953
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 11: the reality is that, I mean, you just walking this

954
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:06,279
Speaker 11: place and it's amazing just.

955
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:08,800
Speaker 10: Walking around the locker room and meet with the players

956
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 10: and the coaches, and it's like you said, it's not

957
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:13,040
Speaker 10: a hard sale, and the Cowboys have the cap space

958
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:14,560
Speaker 10: to get it done because it's not like they're trying

959
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:16,479
Speaker 10: to sign the guy to it, you know, a four year,

960
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 10: you know, market setting deal. I mean, you're trying to

961
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 10: get him for the rest of the season. So you

962
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:24,480
Speaker 10: got the money, you got the power, you got the

963
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:26,040
Speaker 10: the influence, Just get her done.

964
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 7: I think I think this is one of those moves

965
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 7: that I think could really pay dividends for the Cowboys.

966
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:32,840
Speaker 7: I think they can really use this player. And I

967
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 7: think as time goes on, they will see how much

968
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:36,080
Speaker 7: they could use this player.

969
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:38,840
Speaker 9: Elace that overshown yet.

970
00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:43,319
Speaker 3: Have they No, they haven't. And that's honestly the guys.

971
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:45,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, the guys that they have here have been doing

972
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:48,440
Speaker 7: it job. This guy was not a linebacker, but all

973
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:50,640
Speaker 7: was not a linebacker when the season started, and he

974
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:52,879
Speaker 7: has done an admirable job. But as you get closer

975
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:54,719
Speaker 7: to the playoffs, and we talked about you get into

976
00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 7: that weather where you have to run the ball. Guess

977
00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:58,399
Speaker 7: what there maybe if you're in that kind of weather,

978
00:43:58,440 --> 00:43:59,920
Speaker 7: that means the other team has to run the ball too.

979
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:03,040
Speaker 7: And we haven't faced that kind of just pounding, relentless,

980
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:07,160
Speaker 7: rushing attack to see whether Bell can really hold up.

981
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:09,480
Speaker 12: Something happens, Scott forbid, you.

982
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:11,799
Speaker 2: Still need if nothing else, you need, you.

983
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:13,680
Speaker 12: Have nobody else really to take care of that.

984
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 10: And also also, if nothing else, you keep him out

985
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 10: of Philadelphia by keeping him here.

986
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:20,719
Speaker 3: No doubt about it, that may be the most important here.

987
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:20,920
Speaker 6: It is.

988
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:22,880
Speaker 3: All right, We appreciate you, guys, Jones. So we're back tomorrow.

989
