WEBVTT - Cowboys Break: Debunking the Purdy Myth? 0:00:03.360 --> 0:00:05.800 The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:05.840 --> 0:00:07.440 and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. 0:00:09.760 --> 0:00:17.160 Cowboys, Let's go. Are you ready for a break? 0:00:17.440 --> 0:00:17.680 Yes? 0:00:17.960 --> 0:00:19.560 Are you ready for a break? 0:00:19.720 --> 0:00:22.520 Absolutely? Ready for a break? 0:00:22.600 --> 0:00:24.720 Yeah, And so much for that. 0:00:24.920 --> 0:00:29.160 It's time for the Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com. 0:00:29.200 --> 0:00:35.159 We were with Ambar Garcia, Brian brought us, Patrick Walker, 0:00:35.640 --> 0:00:37.080 and Derek Eagleton. 0:00:40.080 --> 0:00:43.479 Hey, guys, welcome back to another episode of The Break. 0:00:44.240 --> 0:00:46.560 Derek is nowhere to be found right now, so we're 0:00:46.600 --> 0:00:49.479 just going gonna go ahead and start the show. We 0:00:49.560 --> 0:00:52.360 got Patrick and Brian here, and I wanted to start 0:00:52.400 --> 0:00:56.720 the show just like Derek always does, asking about injury 0:00:57.320 --> 0:01:00.240 updates and where we're at currently right now? Patrick, do 0:01:00.280 --> 0:01:01.120 you have that for us? 0:01:01.400 --> 0:01:04.240 I do so, first and foremost. It sounds as if 0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:07.360 Rico Dowdell, who suffered what's described as a hip contusion 0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:09.480 and the blowout went over the Patriots he left in 0:01:09.520 --> 0:01:11.640 the third quarter, didn't return. Sounds like he dodged a 0:01:11.640 --> 0:01:15.880 bullet and he is expected to potentially be limited in 0:01:16.000 --> 0:01:18.920 practice on Wednesday. So great news there, especially when you 0:01:18.959 --> 0:01:21.480 consider Rico lost the entirety of twenty twenty one with 0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:24.000 the hip injury. That's what they were concerned about. Sounds 0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:26.840 like he's not gonna miss much time, if any time, 0:01:26.840 --> 0:01:28.680 But we'll see if he misses this forty nine Ers game. 0:01:28.720 --> 0:01:31.000 But it's not a long term injury. I'm told. Zach 0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:34.240 Martin suffered a quad injury against the Patriots. He was 0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:36.679 moving well in the locker room in the postgame. Mike 0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:39.880 McCarthy said that he's expected to be a limited participant 0:01:39.959 --> 0:01:43.840 on Wednesday as well. Obviously, Martin returned this past Sunday 0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:46.560 from the ankle injury that held him out in Arizona. 0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:50.840 Tyron Smith knee injury. Owner in general manager Jerry Jones 0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:52.600 said this morning on one oh five three of Him 0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:56.600 the Fan that Tyron is iffy for Sunday against the Cards. 0:01:56.800 --> 0:01:59.480 Mike McCarthy yesterday said that Tyron would start out in 0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:02.160 the rehab They'll see how he looks on Wednesday after that, 0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:04.800 and then they'll try to ramp him up to limited participation. 0:02:04.920 --> 0:02:06.920 We'll see how that goes. I know a lot of 0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:09.360 people want to know about Michael Parsons. He had his 0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:12.560 knee and ankle kind of banged up against the Patriots, 0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:15.440 but again, he was moving well as well, Mike McCarthy 0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:18.919 said specifically, there's no concern there, but there's a good 0:02:19.000 --> 0:02:21.160 likelihood that he will be limited on Wednesday as well. 0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:24.440 Wouldn't be surprised if Parsons and Martin r D and P. 0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:27.680 Something that Jerry said about Martin that kind of stuck 0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:31.160 out to me, which was, as the Cowboys start installing 0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:34.359 these veteran rest days, maybe Zach gets a veteran rest 0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:38.040 day on Wednesday, Maybe MIKEA gets the same. So that's 0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:41.400 the latest on the injury front. Not too bad, but 0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:43.280 we're kind of still in the wait and see pattern 0:02:43.360 --> 0:02:44.520 for a lot of these guys. 0:02:44.760 --> 0:02:48.320 Which seems to be the trend since the season started. 0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:51.440 We wait and see what happens. We wait on game day. 0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:56.120 Okay, we'll go ahead and switch subjects right now and 0:02:56.240 --> 0:02:59.880 talk about some of the opponents in the NFL and 0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:00.760 see what's going on. 0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:01.280 Last night. 0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:05.359 We know that the Giants played against the Seahawks and 0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:06.919 they lost that game. 0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:10.200 They played well, they were there, they were. 0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:13.040 There, they showed they physically showed up there and they 0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:16.480 were on the field, but they lost to the Seahawks 0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:17.920 twenty four three. 0:03:18.280 --> 0:03:22.440 Right now, which I always see on. 0:03:22.040 --> 0:03:24.600 The NFL puts it out there's there are only two 0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:27.560 teams that are currently undefeated, which are the forty nine 0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:32.200 Ers and the Eagles. So we know tomorrow will turn 0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:34.640 the page and start looking into the forty nine Ers 0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:39.280 and the whole matchup. But in the meantime, NFC East, 0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:43.960 what overview do you guys have currently in the first 0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:46.760 four weeks of the season as to what's happening with 0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:48.920 the Eagles and everybody else in the NFCS. 0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:51.320 You know what, I am really surprised that Ron Rivera 0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:54.480 has the nickname Riverboat Ron. He didn't go and he 0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:56.680 didn't go for it. He had he had a chance 0:03:56.800 --> 0:04:01.920 right there. His team fights back, they get a touchdown 0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:06.640 as the final gun is sounding. You know, Ron, you 0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:09.800 got to go for the two there. Your team has 0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:13.520 done everything to get back in that game. You don't 0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:17.080 need to hear about being tired on drives and things 0:04:17.160 --> 0:04:19.640 like that. You had a chance to go beat a 0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:23.599 team on the road leading the division, go get a 0:04:23.600 --> 0:04:26.279 two point conversion in that game. Right now. I always 0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:28.880 get on these coaches about knowing the condition of their teams, 0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:31.960 you know, and Ron saying, well, my team was gassed, 0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:35.520 they couldn't run. You know, you had momentum at that point, 0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:37.960 you know, and you had a chance, you were a 0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:42.560 road underdog in a division game. You know, find a 0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:46.560 way to in that thing right then and there. And 0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:50.200 that's the disappointing thing right now. I just because I 0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:53.640 thought for sure when they scored that touchdown that they 0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:56.719 were going to for two. Ron rivera Riverboat. Ron, He's 0:04:56.760 --> 0:04:59.240 going to go for it here and he sends the 0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:02.039 extra point team and I go, sir, you just lost 0:05:02.040 --> 0:05:04.159 the game right there, you know, and you and you 0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:06.680 wonder these coaches, it comes down to it at the 0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:10.360 end of the year, new ownership with the Commanders, I'm sorry, 0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:12.360 we lost too many games this year. Well, you're gonna 0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:14.400 probably look back at that and maybe that was the 0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:17.120 one game that was going to get you push you 0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:19.920 forward in the division. You know, you're gonna look back 0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:24.800 and Washington plays the Eagles great. Every year. They play 0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:27.240 them great. They don't always win, but they play them great. 0:05:27.839 --> 0:05:31.960 That was a missed opportunity for the Commanders to put 0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:36.440 themselves back into the conversation with what's going on in 0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:37.320 the NFC East. 0:05:37.640 --> 0:05:39.880 I agree. I mean, all things considered, you you've got 0:05:40.040 --> 0:05:42.359 to go for two after that. I mean they you know, 0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:44.880 you talk about the what would have been the game 0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:47.800 whining drive that ended with the aj Brown touchdown reception 0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:51.440 from from Jalen Hurts, which was you talk about river Boat. Yeah, 0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:54.000 you know that was the Philadelphia Eagles saying, you know what, 0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:56.040 we're not playing for a field goal, We're playing to 0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:59.240 end this game. And then you see Sam Howe and 0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:01.120 you know the off they march down the field, you 0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:02.839 get that touchdown, and you're sitting there and if for 0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:06.640 if you're the Washington Commanders and the sideline, you're sitting 0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:09.000 there like, you know, even if this ends badly, we 0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:11.720 feel good about this, and if we're gonna go down, 0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:14.200 we're gonna go down swing exactly. But they didn't go 0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:16.800 down swinging. He goes for the extra point, gets it. 0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:19.159 But now you're taking the risk in overtime because you 0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:21.960 just saw that your defense was having a hard time 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:24.600 on that final offensive drive, people stopping them, So this 0:06:24.680 --> 0:06:27.160 is what you're hoping for. So yeah, I didn't like 0:06:27.200 --> 0:06:29.640 that at all. I mean, it was a massively missed 0:06:29.640 --> 0:06:33.280 opportunity for Rivera and the Washington Commanders. And then when 0:06:33.320 --> 0:06:35.680 you talk about the New York Giants, I mean, there's 0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:37.880 still a lot of football to be played. But I mean, 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:40.280 I think all of us believe that the Giants would 0:06:40.279 --> 0:06:42.400 be more competitive through the first quarter of the season 0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:44.960 than what we've seen forty to zero. I'll take that 0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:47.640 all day for the Cowboys versus Giants, But he don't 0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:51.279 anticipate that they'll go in on their own field against 0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:53.920 the Seahawks, which are a competitive team. Nothing taking away 0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:55.600 from the Seahawks. I think they can make some waves 0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:58.400 as a Tier two team in the NFC. But twenty 0:06:58.440 --> 0:07:02.760 four to three, eleven sex three turnovers by your quarterback. 0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:05.800 You know, the decision that the ninety seven, ninety eight 0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:09.000 yard picked six. I mean, you can't make those throws. 0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:11.120 You can't make those decisions. So and then you see 0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:14.520 Brian Dable on the sideline getting ignored by Daniel Jones 0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:16.840 and then ultimately throwing his iPad into the bench. I mean, 0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:18.480 they got a lot of trouble in New York. So 0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:20.600 when it comes to the NFC East, I mean, we 0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:23.840 knew it would be the Eagles and the Cowboys vying 0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:26.600 for that top spot, but you thought you'd see more 0:07:27.200 --> 0:07:30.040 better decision making from the commanders and just more competitiveness, 0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:32.200 competitiveness from the Giants in journal and you've just not 0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:32.600 see it. 0:07:32.680 --> 0:07:35.360 Their offensive line is bad. We saw that firsthand and 0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:38.720 we love it. How bad. And they had a lot 0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:41.760 of injuries happen throughout and that's what happened. You fall apart. 0:07:41.760 --> 0:07:44.200 But it's also the dangers of paying your quarterback too. 0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:47.360 You know, now you're in a situation where probably with 0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:51.080 the Giants, you know, there's questions that plane paying that quarterback. 0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:53.520 Sometimes it's hard to get out of that whole. 0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:57.040 Absolutely well, the Giants, it's not for lack of trying. 0:07:57.120 --> 0:08:01.200 Like they've spent some draft cap on that offensive line 0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:03.440 and it just hadn't gotten better. So I don't know 0:08:03.440 --> 0:08:05.360 if they're gonna how they're gonna fix that. Like that's 0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:07.440 part of the problem is you've already spent in the capitol. 0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:09.920 Those guys aren't playing up to par, and you spent 0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:12.360 the money on the quarterback and maybe he's not playing 0:08:12.400 --> 0:08:14.680 up to par. So that seems like a really tough 0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:15.280 mountain to. 0:08:15.240 --> 0:08:17.880 Climb, and you don't know what's gonna happen in you know, 0:08:18.160 --> 0:08:21.720 a year from now with Saquon Barkley, which is the 0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:24.880 center point of your offense. Good luck. 0:08:25.440 --> 0:08:26.720 All right, we're gonna take our first break and we 0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:28.280 come back. I have a game for you guys. We're 0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:30.840 gonna play a little first quarter recap where the first 0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:33.600 quarter point of the season, the first quarter is done, 0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:36.200 and I have some questions for you guys to help 0:08:36.240 --> 0:08:37.720 wrap that thing up. We'll do when we come back. 0:08:37.760 --> 0:08:38.960 Dallas Cowboys dot Com Radyo. 0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:41.959 Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the 0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:44.960 cheatah Savannah.

I've been in a fight the last twenty 0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:49.600 four hours with people from Houston, so I thought you 0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:50.960 were gonna come in here and give me some of this. 0:11:51.440 --> 0:11:53.760 No man's guy anymore. 0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:56.480 No, I'm definitely he's the Houston guy. No, he'll break. 0:11:57.559 --> 0:12:00.400 It only shows up. It only shows up in basketball season. 0:12:00.440 --> 0:12:01.720 Like I'm more of a Rockets fan. 0:12:01.800 --> 0:12:03.000 Yeah, okay, now I will. 0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:05.360 I will say when I was a kid, that was 0:12:05.400 --> 0:12:07.720 the bit I love the Astros. I was a huge 0:12:07.800 --> 0:12:09.640 Astros fan when I was a kid, and good team 0:12:09.679 --> 0:12:13.200 Sarsadanio and Jose Cruz and Mike's got all those guys 0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:14.880 like I love the Astros when I was a kid. 0:12:14.880 --> 0:12:16.480 But I haven't really kept up with it like that 0:12:16.520 --> 0:12:19.240 since I've been an adult. But good luck to the Ranger. 0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:21.679 See what they do here. There's a lot of great 0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:25.680 cross promotion stuff. I think these teams in the DFW 0:12:25.920 --> 0:12:29.760 really look out for each other and they're they're they're stars. 0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:32.720 They they cross paths. So you see, you know, the 0:12:32.760 --> 0:12:35.120 MAVs the Ranger starts. But yeah, thank you for that. 0:12:35.120 --> 0:12:37.760 I appreciate that. Yeah, it should be some fun, all right. 0:12:37.760 --> 0:12:39.520 So here's we're gonna do. We got our first quarter recap. 0:12:39.520 --> 0:12:41.400 We have finished the first four games of the season, 0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:43.640 and so I've got some questions for you guys that 0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:46.319 will hopefully make you think a little bit and make 0:12:46.400 --> 0:12:50.040 you give some some good analytical answers to these questions. 0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:52.680 Let's start first, what you think was the most impressive victory? 0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:55.160 You got at New York forty to nothing, you got 0:12:55.280 --> 0:12:58.000 versus New York Jets thirty to ten, and you've got 0:12:58.040 --> 0:13:01.120 versus New England thirty eight to three. What was most impressive? 0:13:02.520 --> 0:13:07.960 Oh, it's it's a close one between Week four and 0:13:08.040 --> 0:13:12.120 week one. Given what we just saw with the Giants, 0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:14.520 I'm gonna go with thirty eighty three against Bill Belichick. 0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:20.319 I'm gonna go I mean, I was I was competition. 0:13:20.400 --> 0:13:22.800 If the Giants had played well last night, and I 0:13:22.840 --> 0:13:24.920 mean it was on their field the season opener, both 0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:27.240 teams coming in with a bunch of hype and purple hype, 0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:30.040 you know, pumping circumstance. Then you could say that, but yeah, 0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:34.400 like that, Yeah they laid the they lay the egg yesterday, 0:13:34.400 --> 0:13:37.040 and it's just like that's gross. But anytime you go 0:13:37.080 --> 0:13:41.480 against a Bill Belichick led team, you just anticipate you're 0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:43.199 going to be in a dogfighting. That's what the Cowboys 0:13:43.200 --> 0:13:45.480 are typically in. When they played Belichick. You talk about 0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:48.640 what happened back in New England with you know, it 0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:51.480 took overtime and the game winning drive and throw that 0:13:51.600 --> 0:13:53.800 ended up with Dak Prescott with the calf strain and 0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:56.319 ceedee lamb and the wave goodbye. And that's the kind 0:13:56.320 --> 0:13:59.400 of dramatics you typically feel like it'll take to get 0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:03.040 over Bill Belichick. But to hand him the worst loss 0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:05.600 of his NFL career, for me, that is by far 0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:07.800 the most impressive one so far the season. So keep 0:14:07.840 --> 0:14:08.200 that going. 0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:11.040 Yeah, rubber stamp that everything he just said. I mean, 0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:12.760 I didn't think they were going to block him all 0:14:12.760 --> 0:14:14.480 that great. I didn't think they were gonna be able 0:14:14.520 --> 0:14:17.560 to score a lot of points. They turned their guy over. 0:14:18.200 --> 0:14:21.520 They really embarrassed the New England Patriots. They beat him 0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:24.680 up physically too, you know. So yeah that by far, 0:14:25.000 --> 0:14:27.720 anytime you beat the guy who's that might take him. 0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:30.840 He's got eighteen more wins before he passes Don Shula. 0:14:30.880 --> 0:14:33.600 It might take him eighteen years to get there, you know, 0:14:33.680 --> 0:14:38.280 but eventually, eventually he's to Eventually he is going to 0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:40.480 be the all time winning his coach in NFL history, 0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:43.880 we think. But yeah, you take that guy to the 0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:46.520 mat the way they did, in the fashion they did 0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:48.040 is even more impressive. 0:14:48.560 --> 0:14:52.280 Agree, and especially after an embarrassing loss the week prior 0:14:52.400 --> 0:14:53.520 against the Cardinals. 0:14:53.560 --> 0:14:54.160 I think. 0:14:56.800 --> 0:14:59.840 Different aspects of the game just look good. You have 0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:04.720 special teams, everything that they did as opposed to I mean, 0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:08.920 he's only missed one kg one extra point and that 0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:12.960 was the first week, so okay. Now in this one, 0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:15.400 it was completely clean. I wish we would have seen 0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:18.240 the sixty six yard that would. 0:15:18.000 --> 0:15:20.680 Have been fun. 0:15:21.600 --> 0:15:23.280 But different areas of the game. 0:15:23.880 --> 0:15:27.720 Everything that defense did with the running game, the run defense, 0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:30.440 and also the offense that we were able to see 0:15:30.440 --> 0:15:34.280 more out of this week from as opposed to the 0:15:34.320 --> 0:15:38.560 first two weeks. So yeah, I think all in all, 0:15:38.720 --> 0:15:41.520 in general, everything that they did was a lot more 0:15:41.640 --> 0:15:45.000 productive in a way than what we saw in prior weeks. 0:15:45.080 --> 0:15:48.640 Okay, question number two, who has been the better offensive 0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:54.080 player between these three? CD, Lamb, Tony Pollard or Tyler Smith. 0:15:57.560 --> 0:16:00.640 M Smith. 0:16:01.240 --> 0:16:02.920 One of those three, which you think has been the 0:16:02.920 --> 0:16:04.760 better offensive player Pollard. 0:16:05.200 --> 0:16:07.560 I'm going to take Tyler out of it simply because 0:16:07.600 --> 0:16:10.680 he missed the first couple of games, but he's so good. 0:16:10.760 --> 0:16:14.720 I know, he's been so damn good. But availability matters. 0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:18.000 So for me, it's between Pollard and CD, and I 0:16:18.040 --> 0:16:21.120 just think Pollard has been the more consistent of the two. 0:16:21.400 --> 0:16:24.080 I think CD is playing at a high level. Obviously, 0:16:24.120 --> 0:16:26.040 saw what he did against the Jets and kind of 0:16:26.040 --> 0:16:29.520 a downturn against the card News solid game against the Patriots, 0:16:29.560 --> 0:16:31.560 But if you look at the first four games with 0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:33.680 the Cowboys, I mean, Tony Pollard has really been that 0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:36.320 steady hand. You know, he's near the top of the 0:16:36.400 --> 0:16:39.160 league as far as touches and you know efficiency when 0:16:39.160 --> 0:16:40.640 he touches the ball. So for me, I'm going to 0:16:40.680 --> 0:16:42.040 go with Tony Poller's Pollard. 0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:46.080 Yeah, and to your point. What Patrick's talking is absolutely right. 0:16:46.120 --> 0:16:49.000 If Smith had played all the games, you would probably 0:16:49.040 --> 0:16:50.960 throw him in that mix. I love what you did 0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:53.680 by adding him. I think it made everybody pause. That's 0:16:53.720 --> 0:16:56.000 the whole idea right there with that. But the thing 0:16:56.000 --> 0:16:58.680 with Paulish, you could even watch him. You can even 0:16:58.720 --> 0:17:01.400 watch him with some of the blitz pick up stuff, 0:17:01.800 --> 0:17:03.840 like he crossed the pocket the other day. They had 0:17:03.840 --> 0:17:06.160 a pass that got out and he crosses the pocket. 0:17:06.200 --> 0:17:09.560 They got a blitz coming off his right side and 0:17:09.600 --> 0:17:11.879 he sees it and gets over. Usually when you cross 0:17:11.920 --> 0:17:14.600 the pocket in front of the quarterback, there's problems. He 0:17:14.640 --> 0:17:17.399 did it with he was clean, it was right in 0:17:17.440 --> 0:17:20.560 good position. He finishes, they're throwing the ball, he's running 0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:23.439 the ball there, he's pass block and he's really a 0:17:23.480 --> 0:17:24.560 complete back for you. 0:17:25.040 --> 0:17:27.600 Even in this last game, him running up the middle 0:17:27.840 --> 0:17:30.600 and just finding those little holes and getting up there. 0:17:30.640 --> 0:17:33.840 And I think it's more impressive just given the unknown 0:17:33.880 --> 0:17:36.600 that we initially had coming into the season, him coming 0:17:36.600 --> 0:17:41.080 off the injury, wondering if he will be able to 0:17:41.200 --> 0:17:44.960 play that way after recovering, because we've seen it with 0:17:45.000 --> 0:17:48.000 different players, even Michael Galla last year. You know that 0:17:48.040 --> 0:17:50.360 takes some time, and I think he's been effective right 0:17:50.400 --> 0:17:52.520 off the bat, and he's done a really nice job 0:17:53.080 --> 0:17:55.399 for now taking the role that he has. 0:17:55.480 --> 0:17:58.000 The Cowboys have got to make some hay while he's 0:17:58.000 --> 0:18:02.520 still healthy the next you know, the first twelve weeks 0:18:02.520 --> 0:18:05.320 of the season, those last five weeks of the season 0:18:05.359 --> 0:18:07.440 are going to be tough on him and they're going 0:18:07.480 --> 0:18:09.720 to have to figure out, especially at this rate. Yeah, 0:18:09.800 --> 0:18:13.200 how to navigate that part? Right now? I can say 0:18:13.200 --> 0:18:15.960 I think running backs are good for about twelve weeks 0:18:16.320 --> 0:18:18.160 and then you better figure out the next five. 0:18:19.240 --> 0:18:21.240 All right, Let's move on to the defensive side of 0:18:21.240 --> 0:18:23.920 the ball. Who has been the better defensive player not 0:18:24.080 --> 0:18:27.520 named Michael Parsons. I'll give you a few, a few names. 0:18:27.560 --> 0:18:31.679 DeMarcus Lawrence, Deron bland olso odiggy Zooo. Feel free to 0:18:31.760 --> 0:18:33.760 throw in another name if you choose, but it cannot 0:18:33.800 --> 0:18:36.440 be Michael Parsons. Michael Parsons because we know Michael Parsons 0:18:36.520 --> 0:18:38.560 has been the best player on this team through the 0:18:38.600 --> 0:18:39.679 first four games of the season. 0:18:41.440 --> 0:18:45.680 DeMarcus Lawrence the most consistent of the ones you've named, 0:18:45.720 --> 0:18:48.359 and I could also throw Osa in there as consistency 0:18:48.400 --> 0:18:51.320 as well. But when you look at Deron Bland and 0:18:51.520 --> 0:18:53.200 you know he had kind of an off game in 0:18:53.240 --> 0:18:56.119 his first game at boundary outside of Diggs when in 0:18:56.200 --> 0:19:00.560 Arizona had a magnificent game against the Patriots. But over 0:19:00.600 --> 0:19:03.159 the totality of the first quarter, I mean DeMarcus Lawrence, 0:19:03.160 --> 0:19:05.639 He's getting pressures as a pass rusher, he's moving around, 0:19:05.680 --> 0:19:07.399 he's on the left side, he's on the right side, 0:19:07.440 --> 0:19:10.520
