Speaker 3: It is a beautiful Thursday morning.
Speaker 4: I had to say that so you can remember, remind
Speaker 4: yourself that it's Thursday.
Speaker 3: It's not Friday. I definitely didn't think it was Friday.
Speaker 4: This is weird.
Speaker 6: These past couple of games been four day span and
Speaker 6: you get the mini by Yeah, I forget what day
Speaker 6: it is.
Speaker 3: Eleven days, no don't.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a little nuts, but it's good to be
Speaker 5: here with you boys, hosting a Talking Cowboys Thursday. We
Speaker 5: got lots to talk about. Patrick Nsey Walker. Do you
Speaker 5: want to kick us off with some news and notes, Yeah,
Speaker 5: we can do that.
Speaker 4: Let's do it.
Speaker 6: So because we have a the Cowboys, i should say,
Speaker 6: have a Monday night game, the first injury report will
Speaker 6: not be dropped until today Thursday. They did practice yesterday,
Speaker 6: but no injury report, and it was more of a
Speaker 6: mock through slash walked through as described by a head
Speaker 6: coach Mike McCarthy ahead of the actual practice. Had some
Speaker 6: players who weren't present during the media portion, like Cede Lamb,
Speaker 6: Brandon Cooks. Unsure because we didn't get a practice report.
Speaker 6: Unsure if those guys appeared after the open portion was
Speaker 6: closed to the media, So we're not sure. But we
Speaker 6: do know that there's some rehab work going on with
Speaker 6: that CD in his shoulder, but again he's expected to play.
Speaker 6: We'll see if that expectation holds true as soon as
Speaker 6: today when we get their injury report. Cowboys did make
Speaker 6: a couple of transactions. They worked out four players, all cornerbacks,
Speaker 6: two cornerbacks have been added to the practice squad. One
Speaker 6: is d Delaney. Little background on Delaney. He was an
Speaker 6: undrafted cornerback to the Jaguars back in twenty eighteen out
Speaker 6: of the University of Miami, Florida by way of the Citadel.
Speaker 6: He's twenty nine right now, a bit of a journeyman
Speaker 6: before the age of thirty. This is going to be
Speaker 6: his seventh club since joining the NFL in twenty eighteen.
Speaker 6: His best season, his most productive season plural, I should
Speaker 6: say it was with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. A lot
Speaker 6: of practice squad worked before then with the Dolphins, the Jets,
Speaker 6: and Commanders. Yeah, those guys, Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He spent
Speaker 6: two or three seasons there, had five stars, fifty two
Speaker 6: games available, three interceptions, seven pass breakups, and seventy one
Speaker 6: combined tackles. So he does have some experience that he
Speaker 6: brings actual game experience, not simply being in the league experience.
Speaker 6: But he's been out there, rotational, but he's done some things.
Speaker 6: Troy pride X, fourth round pick of the Panthers in
Speaker 6: twenty twenty out of Notre Dame. I'm sure miss Marris
Speaker 6: Leo File will love that he is twenty six years old.
Speaker 6: He spent his first couple of seasons with the Panthers
Speaker 6: and that's when he that's his only NFL experience as
Speaker 6: far as in game experience, he had eight starts in
Speaker 6: fourteen games, two pass breakups, forty two combined tackles, but
Speaker 6: his subsequent one two, three, four teams or three teams
Speaker 6: because this is the fourth after the Panthers all practice
Speaker 6: squad stints, so he wasn't able to earn his way
Speaker 6: back onto the field after his stretch with the Carolina Panthers.
Speaker 6: So look at Pride and Delaney as both rotational insurance guys. Obviously,
Speaker 6: you don't know if von Dix is going to be
Speaker 6: back on this field come Monday. He's missed the last
Speaker 6: two games with a couple of injuries. So you know,
Speaker 6: I'm ari Amani over Waia got it. He yes his
Speaker 6: practice day. His twenty one day practice window was activated
Speaker 6: on yesterday, so twenty one days to figure out if
Speaker 6: his season is going to be over or if he's
Speaker 6: going to be moved to the active fifty three man roster.
Speaker 6: But keep in mind, you lost Josh Butler to IR,
Speaker 6: he lost Kaitlyn Carson to ir, you need insurance at
Speaker 6: that position. What does Pride and Delaney give you? Not much,
Speaker 6: to be honest with you. But again, these are practice
Speaker 6: squad insurance players. They're not going to be expected to
Speaker 6: step in immediately, if ever, and actually make a huge
Speaker 6: impact on the game.
Speaker 5: Now, well, question about these guys in ticular and the
Speaker 5: workouts in particularly, I think any inquisitive fan will see
Speaker 5: a certain name on that list.
Speaker 4: That's where I was going with Xavier Howard.
Speaker 6: They did work out Xavion Howard, also Joshua Bledsoe, but
Speaker 6: bled so is in the same vein as Pride in Delaney.
Speaker 6: As far as if he were to be added rather
Speaker 6: be next week, if at all, then its depth insurance,
Speaker 6: practice squad rotation.
Speaker 3: And he's more of a safety.
Speaker 6: It is more of a safety Exhibion Howard, however, notable
Speaker 6: former two time All Pro, former NFL interceptions leader with
Speaker 6: the Miami Dolphins. I'm assuming that they either couldn't come
Speaker 6: to terms on money, which is most most likely when
Speaker 6: you're talking about a player of Xavier and Howard's caliber. Now, again,
Speaker 6: he's not peak Exavion Howard. However, realistically speaking, he's going
Speaker 6: to command more money on the open market than Delaney,
Speaker 6: Pride and bled Soe.
Speaker 3: Well, you saw a similar situation with Carl Lawson.
Speaker 6: Whenever he correct so he came in for the workout,
Speaker 6: they went in a different direction wise money wise, and
Speaker 6: then a couple of weeks later, two or three weeks later,
Speaker 6: they circle back to callege.
Speaker 7: You're going to command what somebody is willing to pay.
Speaker 4: That is that is also true.
Speaker 7: Nobody's paid that this year.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and the season's almost over, so he has he
Speaker 4: has decisions to make for himself as well.
Speaker 7: The values is a little higher than others.
Speaker 4: That depends, well, it's higher than the others on this workout.
Speaker 6: I will say that now, if you're exaviing Howard, you
Speaker 6: could kind of finess this situation in that he knows
Speaker 6: his value, He knows that he still brings an impact
Speaker 6: to the game. And maybe he gets an offer here
Speaker 6: too from a playoff team, someone who has a chance
Speaker 6: to kind of go deep into the playoffs. Maybe he's
Speaker 6: weighing that as well, versus the situation the Cowboys are in.
Speaker 4: Several variables are at play here, But they did work
Speaker 4: out xaving Howard. No deal has been struck.
Speaker 6: Is that mean that won't remain the case over the
Speaker 6: next few days, not necessarily. But again, if you're exaving Howard,
Speaker 6: you're looking at the totality of the marketplace, and I'm
Speaker 6: sure that the Cowboys, if they made an offer yesterday,
Speaker 6: I'm sure they're not the only ones to make it.
Speaker 6: And then again, you look at the record, albeit a
Speaker 6: two game win streak, they're still, as Jerry Jones labeled it,
Speaker 6: outlandish odds when guards to the playoffs, you have other
Speaker 6: teams that will make the playoffs and might need his
Speaker 6: services and then might be willing to pay more for
Speaker 6: said services.
Speaker 4: So you know, he's doing his due diligence. Cowboys are
Speaker 4: doing their due diligence, and just right now they're not
Speaker 4: on the same page.
Speaker 3: Tommy, what do you think?
Speaker 8: Yeah, no, I think Patrick nailed it. I mean, it's
Speaker 8: an interesting part of the year because you think about
Speaker 8: how much money a guy like he would command at
Speaker 8: this point, and you know, it's just a situation where
Speaker 8: there's only going to be certain teams that are going
Speaker 8: to be willing to pay that amount of money for services,
Speaker 8: considering what they've got at stake, who they've got in
Speaker 8: their cornerback room, but no, so I think the you know,
Speaker 8: when these two adages yesterday, some might think, oh, that's
Speaker 8: probably not a great sign. But at the same time,
Speaker 8: I don't know if that's as much a tip of
Speaker 8: the hat towards or tip of the hand towards Diggs's availability,
Speaker 8: aside from the fact like that they're just so thin
Speaker 8: at corner. They are so thin at corner, so it
Speaker 8: makes sense to me why they would do that regardless
Speaker 8: if Diggs plays are not. It's good to get Rowari
Speaker 8: a back Pride junior had the torn acl in twenty
Speaker 8: twenty one, so he missed the twenty twenty one season
Speaker 8: and the twenty twenty two season before bouncing around to
Speaker 8: practice squads. But he's a fast corner. I think he
Speaker 8: can play a little bit. And then Delaney's obviously got
Speaker 8: the experience, like like Patrick outlined, you know, three career interceptions.
Speaker 8: He had those three years in Tampa Bay where he
Speaker 8: looked pretty good, and then he signed with the Bills
Speaker 8: and the off seasons he was placed on injured reserve
Speaker 8: and then they waved him. So this is kind of
Speaker 8: his second chance after that. So good depth pieces, but
Speaker 8: I wouldn't count on them being leaned upon too heavily.
Speaker 8: I don't think unless as they's necessary.
Speaker 5: Do you expect to see anything out of these Yeah,
Speaker 5: I think they're gonna play. You think they're gonna play it.
Speaker 7: I don't think you have a choice. Yeah, where else
Speaker 7: you go?
Speaker 9: Yeah, I don't fair unless you all got somebody hidden
Speaker 9: in the locker room somewhere.
Speaker 3: Nope, these guys have to play, especially if Trayon is
Speaker 3: not ready for have faith.
Speaker 7: That he's playing. I don't.
Speaker 6: I don't disagree. Yeah, for a number, and we'll see
Speaker 6: what the injury report says. But I'm operating under the
Speaker 6: assumption that he's not.
Speaker 4: Won't We'll see.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I have no.
Speaker 9: But I don't know anything obviously. But I think not
Speaker 9: only are the insurance pieces, but these guys need to play.
Speaker 9: And you talk about Zamia Howard. When you're in a
Speaker 9: position like him, and you're a veteran, and you're a
Speaker 9: proven veteran, you're you're at this point of the season,
Speaker 9: you're like, well, I waited this long. You know what
Speaker 9: I'm saying, Like, either you guys give me the bag
Speaker 9: or again, I'm gonna go try to go chase a
Speaker 9: ring or go play for the chiefs.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, better chances there obviously. All right, let's move on.
Speaker 5: Uh locker room yesterday, you guys had some availability with
Speaker 5: some of the players, correct.
Speaker 4: We did.
Speaker 6: It was a little bit of a thinner locker room
Speaker 6: because the especially the rookies, they were blessing the unfortunate.
Speaker 6: So they were uploading a lot of the the Christmas
Speaker 6: gifts for Salvation Army right on the truck and everything,
Speaker 6: and and once they were done with that, they had Yeah,
Speaker 6: they had team meetings and so we were able to
Speaker 6: get a few people. Brevin span Ford spoke, I know,
Speaker 6: Masie smoke with media. I wasn't able to get with
Speaker 6: him because I was speaking with Eric Kendricks with a
Speaker 6: one on one Q and A and who else spoke
Speaker 6: m spoke yesterday, So to speak to a couple of guys,
Speaker 6: I know that Tommy was in on Demo and Brevin
Speaker 6: while I was off talking to Eric Kendricks.
Speaker 4: So, but Demo is very much Demo.
Speaker 6: I'll let because Tim he wrote an excellent story, folks
Speaker 6: check it out on the dot com. I'll let him
Speaker 6: tell you what Demo was saying about the eleven and
Speaker 6: the thirteen.
Speaker 7: So Patrick is the science guy here right sence.
Speaker 8: I won't say I'm the math guy because I hate
Speaker 8: math and I'm not good at it.
Speaker 7: But let me ask you this.
Speaker 8: Eleven plus thirteen, what was that twenty four for most
Speaker 8: right here in Dallas. Eleven plus thirteen equals problems for
Speaker 8: opposing offenses.
Speaker 7: When you've got I was proud of that headline.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 8: When when you put Michael Parsons into Marvio shown on
Speaker 8: the field at the same time, good things happen, and
Speaker 8: I think I think Demo hit it. Danail on the
Speaker 8: Heady said Micah was right. He said, I'm not quite eleven,
Speaker 8: but I'm thirteen, and that's all we need. We don't
Speaker 8: need two number elevens. We've gotten eleven and we've got
Speaker 8: a thirteen. So when you put them together on the
Speaker 8: field this season, you've gotten one hundred and twelve tackles,
Speaker 8: eleven and a half sacks, fourteen tackles for loss, and
Speaker 8: a pick six and.
Speaker 3: The number eleven missing significant time.
Speaker 7: Exactly pretty pick six, a very pretty pick seck.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, which the best of any defender in the league, which, by.
Speaker 8: The way, he didn't say was the best play of
Speaker 8: his career. He said it was top two because the
Speaker 8: other play was a play that he made his junior
Speaker 8: year that got his recruitment started. It was like a
Speaker 8: big hit that he put on. I was trying to
Speaker 8: find it, but he has like eighty big hits that
Speaker 8: he put on.
Speaker 9: In his big hit just doesn't hit the same as
Speaker 9: that tip tip pick six to yourself.
Speaker 4: And that's Chris, you got to hit us with that
Speaker 4: boy good.
Speaker 7: That's what that boy good he is.
Speaker 8: But yeah, so that that's that Demo was talking more about,
Speaker 8: how you know, thank you my guy. When Mike is
Speaker 8: on the fielder, since he gets so much attention, it
Speaker 8: opens things up for Demo and for some of the
Speaker 8: rest of the guys, like we've seen Carl Lawson come
Speaker 8: along here in the last couple of weeks. So that's
Speaker 8: what he was talking about. And then Brethan Patrick wrote
Speaker 8: an equally.
Speaker 7: Great piece on.
Speaker 3: I love it mutual appreciation.
Speaker 4: Patrick and I have a nice writer, So thank you
Speaker 4: for thank you for the segway.
Speaker 6: So Brevin span forward and listening to his his interview,
Speaker 6: one thing stuck out for me, and it's the fact
Speaker 6: that he said the game is slowing down for me
Speaker 6: pre snap, not just once the ball is snapped and
Speaker 6: he's able to make faster decisions. He said that he's
Speaker 6: seen the defense more as a whole and being able
Speaker 6: to dissect that more as a whole. And he obviously
Speaker 6: a lot of that comes from the teachings of loom
Speaker 6: To Wells and Mike Zimmer but but Mike McCarthy. But
Speaker 6: at the same time, a lot of this is the
Speaker 6: leadership and the mentorship of Jake Ferguson. So when you
Speaker 6: look at Jake Ferguson being the unequivocal leader of that
Speaker 6: tight end room, you're starting to see certain attributes for
Speaker 6: Jake Ferguson trickle down to Schoolmaker and Brevin span Ford
Speaker 6: and like. And that goes with the So one of
Speaker 6: the issues or i should say opportunities for improvement that
Speaker 6: Brevon span Ford had coming into the league this year
Speaker 6: was he needed to improve is blocking. Okay, He's done
Speaker 6: that and you're starting to see a commitment to that.
Speaker 6: And that's not a coincidence. That's a Jake Ferguson thing.
Speaker 6: Jake Ferguson has over the past couple of off seasons.
Speaker 6: Really he bulked up, he really got in the lab
Speaker 6: to put on his blocking weight. But then also look
Speaker 6: at the demeanor between the lines. The outside of the
Speaker 6: lines Brevan span Ford and Luke Schoolmaker, there is jovial
Speaker 6: and calm and cool, but between the lines demon time. Well,
Speaker 6: doesn't that remind you Jake Ferguson, Because outside of the lines,
Speaker 6: Jake is Jake all right, Jacobs, bubbly, he's fun, he's fun.
Speaker 6: But then in between the lines, ask Jamal Adams. Jamal
Speaker 6: Adams can tell you that's.
Speaker 3: A dog wearing that dumb right, that's daddy. Now, that's daddy.
Speaker 4: Now he's popu, he's popula. So you're starting to see
Speaker 4: Reverend span Ford.
Speaker 7: Got picked up.
Speaker 3: He did?
Speaker 5: He did?
Speaker 3: I saw by whom I mean I had?
Speaker 7: It was Detroit. For why Detroit picked him up?
Speaker 4: Oh what, they just got weaker in the secondary. So
Speaker 4: but Breven span Ford, he's increasing his ability to block.
Speaker 4: He's showing more of a prowess as a pass catcher.
Speaker 4: But also when you look at him being targeted, he's
Speaker 4: reeling in most of the targets toward his way. Right.
Speaker 6: I think he had one hundred percent catch rate against
Speaker 6: the Giants. I think like an eighty percent catch rate
Speaker 6: in the week prior, So he's taking the advantage of
Speaker 6: his opportunities, making the most of them, and you just
Speaker 6: love to see that because as Jake works to come
Speaker 6: back and we don't know if he'll be clear for Monday,
Speaker 6: but we know this is his tight end room. Look
Speaker 6: toward twenty twenty five and looking intoward twenty twenty five
Speaker 6: and even coming into twenty four, the question was who
Speaker 6: compliments Jake Ferguson, right, You know you brought in span Ford,
Speaker 6: which means more or less. And we talked about this
Speaker 6: Isaiah a lot on the show. Well, his tender shot
Speaker 6: was pretty much was gone.
Speaker 3: It's finally starting to look like Schoonmaker. That's finally for.
Speaker 4: As maligned as Schoolmaker has been because he's a second
Speaker 4: round pick and not delivering, and.
Speaker 6: He's starting to it's starting to click for him, and
Speaker 6: it's starting to click for SPA Forward. So are we
Speaker 6: looking at a three tight end situation as far as
Speaker 6: ability going into twenty twenty five and look at the
Speaker 6: age of each one of these guys.
Speaker 4: It's very promising for that tight end room.
Speaker 6: If this trend continues, the tight end room will be
Speaker 6: one that you have zero concerns about in twenty twenty
Speaker 6: five and twenty six.
Speaker 9: Well, as long as you can retain lind Weell's that's true,
Speaker 9: say that louder for the people. As long as you
Speaker 9: can Retainnell.
Speaker 3: He's like, my voice is gone, man, I can't fluctuate
Speaker 3: today better.
Speaker 4: Well, at least that's a priority.
Speaker 9: We were saying, is that the reason why you're able
Speaker 9: to talk about the depth of that room is because
Speaker 9: of one of the person who's developing those players.
Speaker 5: And I think we were expecting more from Jake Ferguson
Speaker 5: this year. I mean, granted, we were talking about him
Speaker 5: having an all Pro season in the offseason, but they
Speaker 5: the offense has been with the.
Speaker 4: To be fairst because we were expecting more of the offense.
Speaker 3: One hundred percent.
Speaker 5: However, you love to see that Jake Ferguson is not
Speaker 5: only doing his best on the field, but off the
Speaker 5: field now too and building the tight end room around him,
Speaker 5: which is clearly what you're seeing with Scoon Maker, Brevan
Speaker 5: s van Ford and hopefully John Stevens in the future.
Speaker 4: One more John, he love man.
Speaker 3: One more thing I wanted to bring up from yesterday.
Speaker 5: Mike McCarthy responded to Dak Prescott's comments from his interview
Speaker 5: earlier in the week.
Speaker 3: I kind of wanted to get on that because he
Speaker 3: he was a little confused.
Speaker 4: Right, he was a little I don't know, I'll put
Speaker 4: it this way.
Speaker 6: I've not known Mike McCarthy to be a liar, so
Speaker 6: I don't think he was doing intentional damage control there
Speaker 6: to try to protect the front office. I think he
Speaker 6: was genuinely confused because he hadn't heard the comments, and
Speaker 6: that's why he was like, what.
Speaker 3: Were is comments?
Speaker 6: Well, he said that he has more input in the
Speaker 6: Cowboys organization than he did in any aspect of Green
Speaker 6: Bay or any stop prior to right, So but again subjective.
Speaker 4: We talked about these yesterday, Isaiah, what does.
Speaker 6: That mean having the most and well, right, having the
Speaker 6: most of his illustrious NFL coaching career.
Speaker 4: Is that fifty percent? And was it forty percent in
Speaker 4: Green Bay? Is that seventy percent? Here?
Speaker 5: Was it?
Speaker 4: I don't know?
Speaker 9: And again it was like what department? Right, what aspect
Speaker 9: of your operations do you have? We're saying, is it
Speaker 9: just said personnel?
Speaker 7: Personnel?
Speaker 8: And draft was where he had more input in here
Speaker 8: here here in the draft process and the player of
Speaker 8: personnel process.
Speaker 4: Your face always that was.
Speaker 3: Clarification, What are your thoughts on the matter.
Speaker 7: Clarification absolutely makes sense, it makes it makes sense.
Speaker 3: The response makes sense. Or you think where he has
Speaker 3: more say makes sense.
Speaker 9: That's not where I think all of us nor Deck
Speaker 9: may have been leaning leaning towards in regards to his
Speaker 9: his his insight and his impact on this team. It's
Speaker 9: pick your boys. If you're not going to have all
Speaker 9: access and have not all say, then which area do
Speaker 9: you want to have more force? Do you want to
Speaker 9: have more in personnel? Do you want to have more
Speaker 9: in decision making? Do you want to have more and discipline?
Speaker 7: And whatever? It might be? Right? Sometimes sometimes you just
Speaker 7: don't get and get everything that you want.
Speaker 3: Hey, Dak, call in Colin, Yeah, give us a call.
Speaker 3: You have my cell phone, Just give us Clary.
Speaker 5: All right, boys, when we come back from our first break,
Speaker 5: we will need to preview the Dallas Cows offense versus
Speaker 5: the Cincinnati defense and what is left of it?
Speaker 3: Uh And we also have Isaiah's QB vision.
Speaker 5: And one more thing, one more thing, just another thing
Speaker 5: to add on top of all of that little mess.
Speaker 5: Can the Dallas Cows afford to get into a shootout
Speaker 5: with the Cincinnati Bengals offense.
Speaker 3: More from Talking Cowboys Ryan after this.

Speaker 7: all right, guys.
Speaker 4: Can't get the high today.
Speaker 7: Unfortunately, shortest QB vision of all time.
Speaker 9: These teams. Defensively, they suck, they suck. I can't really
Speaker 9: say never mind, those guys are all bad.
Speaker 7: They're bad.
Speaker 9: They have a handful of guys defensively, obviously they have
Speaker 9: the leader in sacks on their team.
Speaker 7: Can't look past that whatsoever. And Trey Hendrickson, he's nice.
Speaker 7: He's a dude. He's a high effort guy.
Speaker 9: When you think about what Detroit had in a Hutchison,
Speaker 9: he's like that, right, He's just a high effort guy,
Speaker 9: doesn't really stop. Not not necessarily crazy with a bunch
Speaker 9: of moves, but just he's just gonna he's gonna keep coming.
Speaker 9: So you need to get some You need to get
Speaker 9: some bodies on him, need to find a way to
Speaker 9: slow him down. He typically lines up over there on
Speaker 9: the right hand side. So that's and Still's best friend
Speaker 9: this week. So get friendly with him and fire and
Speaker 9: find some inner anger. In terms of why do they
Speaker 9: suck defensively? What they suck defensively because they suck at tackling.
Speaker 9: They just don't tackle well.
Speaker 3: The details.
Speaker 7: I don't understand why they don't tackle well.
Speaker 9: We're at the highest level of competition and everybody on
Speaker 9: their team seemingly is having the same problem in their head,
Speaker 9: their run possibly possibly in their head. They are a
Speaker 9: run stopping defense. That's what they believe themselves to be
Speaker 9: in their head.
Speaker 3: Yet they can't tackle.
Speaker 7: Yet they can't tack.
Speaker 3: That sounds like a recipe for a bad defense.
Speaker 7: It does, it does, and it shows. It shows up.
Speaker 9: These guys want to play single high, but as of late,
Speaker 9: as they've been playing more passing teams, they've been playing
Speaker 9: a lot more too high. Show the reason why they
Speaker 9: want to play single highs because because their personnel, especially
Speaker 9: at the second level, is built to stop the run.
Speaker 9: These guys get These guys out in space and they
Speaker 9: are terrible. They cannot move two different directions to save
Speaker 9: their life. You get them going one way, they are
Speaker 9: going that way only because their hips are locked up
Speaker 9: like a con so underneath routes, crossing routes, things of
Speaker 9: that nature. They find trouble with so they go to
Speaker 9: too high shell to try to assist with some of
Speaker 9: those things by pressing up. You might have saw the
Speaker 9: game last week where there was an interception, ran back
Speaker 9: for a pick six, things of that nature.
Speaker 7: That was pickings slipped on a route. That's all that was.
Speaker 9: That wasn't necessarily great defense. They like to play cover two.
Speaker 9: It wasn't great coverage there. He was playing lucking. He
Speaker 9: just came to his hands jugs machine. So it wasn't
Speaker 9: nothing that they did amazingly. So I know people will
Speaker 9: look at that and think that, oh, yeah, that was
Speaker 9: gret what a great play. It wasn't It just happened
Speaker 9: to be in the right place at the right time.
Speaker 9: They play cover two a lot. Whenever they do go
Speaker 9: to high shell, they'll they'll try to go cover four
Speaker 9: at times, which means that they have the four guys
Speaker 9: in the secondary are all playing a quarter of the field.
Speaker 9: The problem with that is they they are like the
Speaker 9: noone else. Okay, let me put it like this. I
Speaker 9: had an old beamer remembers him. There was a back
Speaker 9: that we had here name mister Anderson. All right, Deon Anderson.
Speaker 9: There's number thirty four, and Dion was a beast of
Speaker 9: a player. There's a goon, one of those cats you
Speaker 9: won on your team, and you tell Dion ay, I
Speaker 9: want you to get thirty four. Dion is going to
Speaker 9: track down thirty four. I don't care if thirty four
Speaker 9: goes to the toilet. He's gonna go up the tunnel,
Speaker 9: go into the locker room. He's gonna sit right there
Speaker 9: with him. That's how their secondary plays. Their secondary locks
Speaker 9: in on one guy. It's almost like you like they
Speaker 9: get told before they break the huddle, that's your guy
Speaker 9: you're responsible for.
Speaker 7: If he comes at you go get him. They're like okay,
Speaker 7: and like they don't see anything else.
Speaker 9: They have like they're mad and awareness has to be
Speaker 9: like below twenty because they don't see anything. There's there's
Speaker 9: baden switched things that you do obviously as an offense
Speaker 9: to once you understand that they're in certain coverages.
Speaker 3: Because you can quickly diagnose that, I can say, all right,
Speaker 3: this is yeah.
Speaker 9: If you're a cover four, I'm gonna sit a guy TI,
Speaker 9: I'm a run a tight end at your inside slode receiver.
Speaker 9: I'm gonna grab your safety. I'm gonna run a post
Speaker 9: over the top. And they're like, okay, well I got
Speaker 9: my guy though, right, So you can get these guys.
Speaker 9: They don't disguise well at all, probably the worst disguised
Speaker 9: team that we faced to date. If they're blitzing, it's
Speaker 9: literally like somebody standing right behind you like, hey her,
Speaker 9: go ahead and blitch go ahead, and blitz is like,
Speaker 9: are you're about to cover my guy? I got, I
Speaker 9: got trigger, I don't know't worry, but I just go
Speaker 9: and and quarterbacks sitting there looking at him like I
Speaker 9: hear y'all.
Speaker 7: And I see y'all.
Speaker 3: So easy to to I'm not the mic, that's exactly
Speaker 3: the mic.
Speaker 9: So a combination of them being thinking that they're a
Speaker 9: run stopping team and they don't tackle well when they
Speaker 9: try to go to coverage. They go to cover two
Speaker 9: and there's a lot of gaps in their second and
Speaker 9: in order to play cover too, your second level defenders
Speaker 9: have to be able to cover some range, right, because
Speaker 9: you're asking three guys to cover that whole middle of
Speaker 9: the field in your corners to sit within a five
Speaker 9: year old window.
Speaker 7: They don't.
Speaker 9: They don't cover well or change direction as well, so
Speaker 9: that cover two and two high safety show doesn't work
Speaker 9: well for them. They try to play man to man defense.
Speaker 9: They don't have the guys to play man the man
Speaker 9: outside at the cornerback position, and then they don't have
Speaker 9: vision or awareness. So it's that's a combination of why
Speaker 9: they're so bad defensively, why the teams have been running
Speaker 9: it up on them.
Speaker 7: But you but the one guy who can present you
Speaker 7: problems is over there at the right defensive end position.
Speaker 9: And if he does get home, now these guys in
Speaker 9: the secondary and at the second level become better players, right,
Speaker 9: No different than when Michael came back.
Speaker 7: This defense has been playing better.
Speaker 3: But it doesn't sound like we're gonna get a lot
Speaker 3: of too high.
Speaker 7: No, they're gonna try it. Well, yeah, they're gonna try
Speaker 7: to make you prove it. Right.
Speaker 9: I think the reason why they play so much too
Speaker 9: high against Pittsburgh is because Pittsburgh has weapons, right. Pittsburgh
Speaker 9: has picking as they have Austin. They have the guys
Speaker 9: that can catch the rock. Dallas has to prove that
Speaker 9: they can do that. And not to say that Dallas
Speaker 9: doesn't South as we have Cedee Lamb and Beat Cooks
Speaker 9: is back now.
Speaker 7: But call it how it is.
Speaker 9: You know, Cooper Rush does a good job of making
Speaker 9: sound decisions majority of the time. But his velocity is
Speaker 9: trash ms.
Speaker 7: It is what it is.
Speaker 9: I mean, I'm sure he'll work on it this offseason,
Speaker 9: but right now, I mean his ball comes out like
Speaker 9: home and know is bad.
Speaker 7: I mean, and I don't know what happened. It wasn't
Speaker 7: always like.
Speaker 3: That, right the release is there, but yeah, he used
Speaker 3: to anticipate.
Speaker 9: The thing about Cooper Rush, he never had like a
Speaker 9: suit powerful arm, but he used to do a really
Speaker 9: good job of making up for that the lack of
Speaker 9: that with anticipating his throws and the ball would be
Speaker 9: there on time, so you didn't feel that lack of velocity.
Speaker 9: Now I think it's a combination of him waiting for
Speaker 9: guys to come open and then is his lack of velocity.
Speaker 7: It's being exposed because you're seeing it.
Speaker 9: You're like, what the heck's taking his balls so on
Speaker 9: to get there right, rather than if they would have
Speaker 9: released the ball before the guy come out of his break.
Speaker 9: You're not thinking about that because so as it comes
Speaker 9: out to break, the ball's there, So I don't know
Speaker 9: what can be done there. But that's why you're starting
Speaker 9: to see teams squad a lot more because they're not threatening.
Speaker 9: They've seen it. They're like, you can't throw it. You
Speaker 9: can't throw it past forty yards, you can't throw it
Speaker 9: anything past thirty yards. The balls hanging in the air
Speaker 9: for a minute, and I think they're realizing that. So
Speaker 9: now that makes it so much more difficult, even in
Speaker 9: your running game, because now they can load the box
Speaker 9: and say we can play one safety over the top
Speaker 9: because it's not going past them.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, and workson.
Speaker 6: What works in Cooper Rush's favor is a stat that
Speaker 6: I dropped in lab Coat yesterday in that Cooper Rush
Speaker 6: his two point two second time to throw is the
Speaker 6: second best of all starting quarterbacks in the league by
Speaker 6: second to only tour Uh and Tua is trigger fast
Speaker 6: back there, so the fact that he's only behind to it,
Speaker 6: they'll let you know that he's getting it out there fast.
Speaker 6: But that also makes it difficult to blitz Cooper Rush
Speaker 6: because he's getting the ball out so fast. Now here's
Speaker 6: the thing, though, the Bengals don't necessarily like the blitz anyway.
Speaker 6: They like to keep eight back and rush three because
Speaker 6: Trey Hendrickson is up there and eleven and a half
Speaker 6: sex leading the league.
Speaker 4: He's doing damage.
Speaker 6: You got to find a way to neutralize him or
Speaker 6: at least slow him down and force the game on
Speaker 6: other people. Before you get too deep in, I want
Speaker 6: to come in on something before you get lost QB vision, baby.
Speaker 6: The reason why tua release is so fast is because
Speaker 6: they're protecting him.
Speaker 4: The reason why Cooper's is so fast is because there's nottect.
Speaker 9: The reason why Cooper's is so fast because they're protecting
Speaker 9: him as well, protecting him from his for his lack
Speaker 9: of ability to put the ball in there. Oh you
Speaker 9: mean so it sounds like it's a great stat statistically,
Speaker 9: but Tua's being protected and.
Speaker 7: Make sure he doesn't get any more concussions. That's what geting.
Speaker 5: And if you're looking at Cooper Rush's past tree, he's
Speaker 5: not throwing it down the field.
Speaker 4: And we talked about that.
Speaker 6: Yeah, because until the last game or ish, I want
Speaker 6: to say, he was lacking the twenty plus yard not
Speaker 6: just throws in completions, but air.
Speaker 3: Yards and they weren't going. They weren't good balls.
Speaker 6: So for when you look at a play like what
Speaker 6: Cavante was able to do and take it, you know,
Speaker 6: sixty four yards, that's not an actual sixty four yard
Speaker 6: touchdown pass right, that's like eight air yards and then
Speaker 6: the rest is all yack.
Speaker 4: But I see what Isaiah saying.
Speaker 6: He's saying the coaching staff of mccarthur, with the play calling,
Speaker 6: they're protecting him. I'm saying the old line has not
Speaker 6: been protecting him. So there's that aspect of it as well.
Speaker 6: But this is a defense in the Bengals, and I
Speaker 6: hate to say it because these are NFL players. I'm
Speaker 6: not going to say they're trash, but I'm going to
Speaker 6: say they suck at playing defense. Like it's just it's
Speaker 6: not good. They're wide open against the run. Run this
Speaker 6: ball with Rico o'dowdo run it, run it running. What's
Speaker 6: one of the best ways to neutralize an elite pass rushers?
Speaker 6: Run You run the football, You run it right out,
Speaker 6: run it right at them.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 3: I also talked about your line stands at the twenty five,
Speaker 3: also talked.
Speaker 4: About yesterday and Labcoat.
Speaker 6: When Trey Hendrickson is off the field, you really need
Speaker 6: to take advantage of dropping back then because their pass
Speaker 6: rush drops ten percentage points when he's not on the
Speaker 6: field all the way to thirty second worse than the
Speaker 6: league at rushing the pass to whin that guy's off
Speaker 6: the field.
Speaker 9: But when is he coming off the field, Because if
Speaker 9: you have the number one pass rushing in the league,
Speaker 9: he's not coming the third down, right.
Speaker 4: And I love you for this time of possession.
Speaker 6: You need to make sure that not only are you
Speaker 6: getting takeaways as the Dallas defense, but.
Speaker 4: You need to stop with the three and outs. You
Speaker 4: need to convert on third down. You not only need
Speaker 4: to score if you're Cooper Rush and the offense, you
Speaker 4: need extended dry drive conversions, no drops.
Speaker 6: I love your CD, but and I know that was
Speaker 6: that was an aviration, right, So make sure you're catching
Speaker 6: the ball, make sure you're running the ball.
Speaker 4: Effect right, you wear down a guy like Trey Hendrickson.
Speaker 6: So by the time the middle of the third quarter comes,
Speaker 6: the fourth quarter comes, he's just gased because he's he's
Speaker 6: their superman. He's tasked with doing everything. He has eleven
Speaker 6: and a half six second most on that team is two.
Speaker 4: Run the ball. Running that Hendrickson, tire him out and
Speaker 4: then the chunk plays will come.
Speaker 8: So Isaiah mentioned that the Bengals defense is not great
Speaker 8: at tackling.
Speaker 4: Right, that wasn't his word. But he was he was
Speaker 4: more mean. Well he's mean, Okay, he said, he said,
Speaker 4: he said, he used the word said.
Speaker 10: He said.
Speaker 8: They said about their ability to tackle. Here's here's the
Speaker 8: counterpoint to that, and here's what's gonna make this game.
Speaker 8: I think Cowboys running backs has forced the sixth fewest
Speaker 8: miss tackles sixty one, and game the fourth fewest yards
Speaker 8: after miss tackles two hundred and ninety amongst all running
Speaker 8: backs in the league. However, however, Cowboys wide receivers have
Speaker 8: forced the most mistackles this year with thirty six, and
Speaker 8: game the third most yards off of miss tackles two
Speaker 8: hundred and fifty six.
Speaker 11: So I like that.
Speaker 8: That's that's good.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's good. See you know positive run.
Speaker 8: No, but I completely agree with Patrick, like I said
Speaker 8: yes yesterday, there's two ways. There's two avenues for Dallas
Speaker 8: to win this game. A shootout or you run the
Speaker 8: ball and you just drain the clock.
Speaker 5: Excellent segue, because my question leading into the break was
Speaker 5: is there enough on the Dallas Cowboys offense to get
Speaker 5: into a shootout with Joe Burrow.
Speaker 3: In the Cincinnati Bengals.
Speaker 8: Absolutely not.
Speaker 9: The reason why Joe Burrow and them are so dangerous
Speaker 9: in their ability to light up the scoreboard because you
Speaker 9: have to respect the entire field. You have to every layer,
Speaker 9: first wave, the second layer, the third layer. You every
Speaker 9: there's no the d line cameral ax, the linebacker cameralax.
Speaker 9: The secondary safety is camera relax. They can go over
Speaker 9: the top, they can work underneath, they can run the rock.
Speaker 9: They can do all any any way you want to
Speaker 9: play it. They can play it, but they want to
Speaker 9: throw it around. Dallas currently has not proven that they
Speaker 9: possess that ability to do consistently and to some of
Speaker 9: those things in terms of what I just finished talking about,
Speaker 9: as far as Cooper Rush. Once a team is able
Speaker 9: to acknowledge that you are having struggles pushing the ball
Speaker 9: down the field with consistency and accuracy, they it's tough
Speaker 9: passing they can take more gassing gets tough because now
Speaker 9: those safeties get closer and closer and closer, and those corners,
Speaker 9: guess what, they get more aggressive, more aggressive because they're
Speaker 9: no longer worried about getting beat over the top. You
Speaker 9: beat me over the top, But I'm gonna have a
Speaker 9: chance that the ball once it gets there, because it's
Speaker 9: probably gonna be thrown behind.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the answer is no.
Speaker 3: That's just now.
Speaker 6: Cowboys are not winning the shootout against this offense, against
Speaker 6: that Bengals offense. So don't don't even allow it to
Speaker 6: happen because they'll hang fifty on you and without blinking,
Speaker 6: right and then you with your backup quarterback and Cooks
Speaker 6: is only second game, bag and ceedee Lambs show is
Speaker 6: hurting and will you have Jake?
Speaker 4: Will you not have Jake? You still you have questions?
Speaker 4: They don't have offensive questions.
Speaker 6: Okay, So don't get in the shootout, control talent possessions,
Speaker 6: run the ball, and also sidebark flipping right back to
Speaker 6: the defense really quickly. Shout out to stx Mario. He
Speaker 6: reminded me Logan Wilson had a surgical procedure done. He's
Speaker 6: not playing in this game. And that's over one hundred
Speaker 6: combined tackles that's taken off of the field.
Speaker 4: Right. So, as poor as their.
Speaker 6: Defense has been playing, one of the best players on
Speaker 6: their poor defense is not on the field anymore.
Speaker 9: We do not want to see did you guys watch
Speaker 9: the Hard Knocks with the AFC North, Yes, we don't
Speaker 9: want to see Joe Burrow and him talking about his
Speaker 9: new batmobile. He said he would break out his batmobile.
Speaker 9: Did you guys see those three million dollars bill. He
Speaker 9: said he bought one, and he said he would break
Speaker 9: it out if he throws for five hundred yards and
Speaker 9: seven touchdowns.
Speaker 7: Please don't.
Speaker 8: I don't remember what game it was, but there's a
Speaker 8: game where Tony Romo was on the call. And you
Speaker 8: know how they have like the little yellow mark that
Speaker 8: they circle things with. Somebody ran a long touchdown. He
Speaker 8: just went, that's what Jamar Chase is going to do.
Speaker 8: If this game gets into, the show's gonna be and
Speaker 8: he's gonna be running all over the field.
Speaker 7: Nobody's gonna be able.
Speaker 3: To He'll catch from anywhere, and he'll catch.
Speaker 8: From anywhere, and he'll run from anywhere. He'll run after
Speaker 8: the catch from anywhere. He can beat anybody in this league.
Speaker 2: He is.
Speaker 7: He is that good.
Speaker 8: So you know, if you the way that Dallas wins
Speaker 8: this game, you run the ball on first down, you
Speaker 8: run the ball on second down, and you set yourself
Speaker 8: up with thirds and twos, thirds and threes, and you
Speaker 8: run the ball again.
Speaker 7: You run the ball again.
Speaker 8: Rico Daddle's averaging north to four yards to carry this
Speaker 8: year last. I checked and again this is you know
Speaker 8: math guy here, four times three is twelve. You need
Speaker 8: ten yards to pick.
Speaker 7: Up a first down.
Speaker 9: You think, like me, that's why I would run the
Speaker 9: crap out of the ball. But to that point, to
Speaker 9: add on to what you just said, that was awesome.
Speaker 9: The you're gonna get everything that Cincinnati knows, Oh absolutely,
Speaker 9: because this is determining factor whether they stay in the
Speaker 9: playoff or not. It's already outside the outside as an
Speaker 9: outlier right now for the probability.
Speaker 7: But they say, but you still have to include them
Speaker 7: in the conversation of potential.
Speaker 3: If they win this, you can never count them out.
Speaker 7: When now, if they lose this game, it's over. Their
Speaker 7: season is done.
Speaker 9: So they're knowing that the offense wins US ball games,
Speaker 9: you're going to get everything. And they are so angry
Speaker 9: off of last week. You were gonna get absolutely everything
Speaker 9: that they have. They're gonna come out, They're gonna line
Speaker 9: up with four wire receivers and say we've seen your
Speaker 9: injury report, and we throw the ball all over the field.
Speaker 7: Good luck.
Speaker 5: The Cowboys are equally desperate. We have to go to
Speaker 5: our final break when we come back. More on this

Speaker 3: Welcome back to Talking Cowboys.
Speaker 5: Our final segment is brought to you by invisi line
Speaker 5: the evisual smile of the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 3: All right, boys, time to get into so you need
Speaker 3: to pick up your point.
Speaker 4: Sorry, no, I was going to say.
Speaker 3: Also it was Trey Hendrickson. I'm sorry.
Speaker 4: I was going to say. Speaking to to the Bengals defense.
Speaker 6: All of these things that we're saying about how abysmo
Speaker 6: that defensive unit has been performing is absolutely true. It
Speaker 6: is historically bad, one of the worst NFL defenses in
Speaker 6: the past half decade.
Speaker 4: Go back and check out.
Speaker 6: Yesterday's episode of lab Coat for the stunt for the
Speaker 6: numbers that support that. That being said, any given week,
Speaker 6: don't let this be the week that they have a
Speaker 6: good game. They're not going to They're not going to
Speaker 6: have seventeen horrible games, okay in a season. That means
Speaker 6: that two or three of these weeks at the course
Speaker 6: of the season, they're actually gonna either be solid or
Speaker 6: maybe even have that aberration of a good game. Don't
Speaker 6: take the cheese, is what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: And if you look at the Cowboys before this too
Speaker 5: crazy game, you know wind streak, the Cowboys have been
Speaker 5: a get right team.
Speaker 3: You you played that to get right right. In this
Speaker 3: you don't. You can't let that happen.
Speaker 5: And to kind of piggyback at what Isaiah was saying
Speaker 5: right before we took the break, is that, of course
Speaker 5: the Bengals are desperate to win this game, right, the
Speaker 5: Cowboys are equally as desperate, if not more, Because there
Speaker 5: is a glimmer of hope of getting into the playoffs
Speaker 5: if we went out, there should be a lot of
Speaker 5: desperation on both sides.
Speaker 3: I think it's going to lead to a really good game.
Speaker 5: And part of me is like, Okay, maybe this is
Speaker 5: when Miya McCarthy's able to get into his bag and
Speaker 5: we might have I think for lack of better.
Speaker 4: Trans the playbook.
Speaker 6: But I mean, when you have Jamar Chase indirectly calling
Speaker 6: out his own defense in the locker room, what did
Speaker 6: he say? Well, what he was asked about the defense,
Speaker 6: and he paused, and he looked over at the defensive
Speaker 6: side of the locker room, came back to the cameras
Speaker 6: chickens hayd and said, they got to figure it out.
Speaker 6: And then he caught himself and said, we got to
Speaker 6: figure it out.
Speaker 4: Too late.
Speaker 6: You already said they got it figured out. That's where's
Speaker 6: my frame is. You add that to the fact that
Speaker 6: all this.
Speaker 3: One's atter figure out when you've scored thirty eight point.
Speaker 6: Right, all this defense has been hearing over the past
Speaker 6: several weeks is how awful they are, how trash they
Speaker 6: are as as grown men and competitors.
Speaker 4: Don't let this be the week where they come in
Speaker 4: and say we're tired.
Speaker 6: Enough is enough, We're And what better team to send
Speaker 6: to kind of send a message against than the Dallas Cowboys,
Speaker 6: who teams love to send the message against.
Speaker 4: Right, the game again, Monday.
Speaker 6: Nights, prime time, prime time, Joe Burrow in prime time,
Speaker 6: and every many games are on that day.
Speaker 7: This is the one just the one that the whole
Speaker 7: name stand alone.
Speaker 6: So I say all of that to say, yes, it
Speaker 6: is true that Bengals defense is just it's abhorrent. It
Speaker 6: is absolutely abhorrent. But sun shines on the dogs buns
Speaker 6: every once in a while, you know. The actual quote
Speaker 6: shouts out to Wesley Snipes and white man can't jump.
Speaker 6: So don't let it shine on on the Bengals defense
Speaker 6: on Monday.
Speaker 5: Well, we'll only have a few minutes left, boys, So
Speaker 5: I just want you to do you want you to
Speaker 5: give me a a player on that side of the ball,
Speaker 5: on the defense for Cincinnati aside from Hendrickson that we
Speaker 5: need to be wary of going into this Monday night
Speaker 5: football game. Tell me about Joseph hook him Tommy already
Speaker 5: did stay yet?
Speaker 8: No, sadly not yet.
Speaker 4: I needed to be Saturday.
Speaker 9: He's just he's he's a good player. I don't I mean,
Speaker 9: I don't have a whole bunch to say about him.
Speaker 9: There's just not a lot to see on this There's
Speaker 9: not a lot to see. But I think he's the
Speaker 9: next most effective player, yeah, outside of interesting and they
Speaker 9: try to find a way to get those guys both
Speaker 9: on the field at the same time, But I don't
Speaker 9: have a whole bunch.
Speaker 7: You probably got more than me.
Speaker 8: So it was somebody that you talked about earlier, not directly.
Speaker 8: He had the pick six against Pittsburgh. Cam Taylor Britt.
Speaker 7: I really like him. I think he's a great player.
Speaker 3: Why success this season?
Speaker 7: Say that again?
Speaker 3: Why the lack of success this season for Taylor Britt?
Speaker 7: Oh my god.
Speaker 8: The whole defense has just not played well. I mean,
Speaker 8: everybody's just teeing off on him. So you know, he's
Speaker 8: a good play. But if you're not surrounded by other
Speaker 8: good players, then, like you know, you could say Deron
Speaker 8: Bland is a good player, and teams have still been
Speaker 8: able to throw against the Cowboys. Trevon Diggs is a
Speaker 8: good player. Teams has still been able to throw against
Speaker 8: the Cowboys. So you know, the defense as a hole
Speaker 8: just hasn't been good. And you look at some of
Speaker 8: the offenses they've played, I mean Baltimore, Kansas City, Washington, Philly, Pittsburgh. Now,
Speaker 8: I guess with Russell Wilson and how he's been playing.
Speaker 8: But Cam Taylor, Britzy guy, he's still made plays. He's
Speaker 8: got twelve passes defended this year.
Speaker 7: That's fourth in the league.
Speaker 8: He has the two interceptions that picked six last week
Speaker 8: against Pittsburgh, albeit how Isaiah described it earlier. But he's
Speaker 8: a guy who's growing. It's only his third season. He
Speaker 8: was a second round pick out of Nebraska. But when
Speaker 8: he's on, he's really on for this Bengals defense. And
Speaker 8: I think that you know, that's the guy that you
Speaker 8: got to watch out for when you do throw against
Speaker 8: this team, because you can make a play.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was going to sit tailor Britt, but I'm
Speaker 4: going to add one other.
Speaker 3: They're stilling off of Tommy's homwerk No no as actually
Speaker 3: thought like mine.
Speaker 6: We always talked about this earlier. Nobody's still frequency. I'm
Speaker 6: going I'm going to Jermaine Pratt. I'm going to Jermaine Pratt,
Speaker 6: team leader in tackles one hundred and ten combined tackles
Speaker 6: at linebacker, and this game is going to be that
Speaker 6: much more put on him in the absence of Logan Wilson.
Speaker 6: But not only is he a tackling machine.
Speaker 4: He can cover.
Speaker 6: He has what four pass deflections, he has an interception
Speaker 6: this season, But when you're in his vicinity, protect the ball,
Speaker 6: he will punch that ball out. He will punch the
Speaker 6: ball out. He has a couple of force fumbles. He's
Speaker 6: always looking for that to jar the ball free. So
Speaker 6: rather it be Trey Hendrickson, Taylor Britt and now we're
Speaker 6: talking Jermaine Pratt. There are two or three names that
Speaker 6: you need to keep an eye on. And like I said,
Speaker 6: Jermaine Pratt, he's going to be center field on that
Speaker 6: center field, but in the heart of that defense. Just
Speaker 6: be careful when you're around him because he he's not
Speaker 6: great in run defense, but he doesn't miss a lot
Speaker 6: of tackles either.
Speaker 4: So for as much as the defensive unit missus tackles,
Speaker 4: not so much Jermaine Pratt.
Speaker 7: And he's the one that's locked up. Play a car.
Speaker 7: Yeah he can't move. Yeah, he cannot move two directions.
Speaker 11: I know.
Speaker 6: Once he sits sight that's pick give a line. Yeah,
Speaker 6: he doesn't drop gear and change it's.
Speaker 3: Hor momentum.
Speaker 6: Cowboys kind of have a similar player at safety Donovan,
Speaker 6: where it's one gear go. But if he has to
Speaker 6: drop gears and change directions, not so much as bag.
Speaker 3: All right, boys, that'll be it for talking Cowboys today.
Speaker 5: Thank you so much for joining us here in the
Speaker 5: wa Aggressive Isaiah but anyways, thank you so much for
Speaker 5: tuning in. Cowboys storyline is up next. We will see
Speaker 5: you tomorrow your test alright, see the letter boys.
