I think it's a three 0:00:58.960 --> 0:01:02.240 twenty five off, but we're gonna get you guys ready. 0:01:02.280 --> 0:01:04.920 We're gonna talk about all the different storylines we think 0:01:05.000 --> 0:01:07.040 will be a part of this game, and by the 0:01:07.120 --> 0:01:08.960 end of the show we'll get some predictions. We'll nail 0:01:08.959 --> 0:01:11.200 these guys down on what they think will happen. Ultimately 0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:15.240 on Sunday, when the Cowboys hit to Los Angeles. So 0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:17.880 let's start first, let's get some updates on a couple 0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:21.320 of injuries that could be relevant for this weekend. Yesterday, 0:01:21.800 --> 0:01:24.640 Ceedee Lamb pops up on the injury report. I know it. 0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:27.640 It's certainly caught my attention. What are we hearing at 0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:29.600 this point about about him and him being on the 0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:32.440 injury But it doesn't sound like it's it's too serious. 0:01:32.480 --> 0:01:36.120 I think that CD as are still expected to play 0:01:36.160 --> 0:01:39.440 in this game. You know, they have to be do 0:01:39.520 --> 0:01:41.720 their due diligence and put that on there when things 0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:45.720 like that pop up. So he didn't sound concerned yesterday. 0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:48.200 I'm m incarthy today and his press conference didn't seem 0:01:48.240 --> 0:01:49.720 like it. I just don't think it's going to be 0:01:49.760 --> 0:01:52.200 that big. I think CD will play. Yeah, I got 0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:54.720 the impression they were this team is really big, and 0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:57.320 CD talked about this as lock of the GPS numbers 0:01:57.640 --> 0:01:59.920 and so he was ready to practice, and it's kind 0:01:59.920 --> 0:02:03.680 of like somebody forgot to remind Mike that his GPS 0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:05.760 numbers were high, and so they went and got him. 0:02:05.800 --> 0:02:07.640 He was getting ready to go, and then they moved 0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:10.000 him over with Britt Brown and on the chords and 0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:11.760 stuff like that. Just to give him a little bit 0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:15.160 of arrest. But everything I'm hearing it's not a serious 0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:18.200 injury at all, especially him standing in front of the 0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:20.960 media yesterday. I mean, that was kind of weird. You know, 0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:23.800 he stands there and like nothing happened. Obviously not that 0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:26.560 he's gonna come out and say, hey, guys, I didn't 0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:29.799 practice today because of this injury. But at the same time, 0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:32.360 it's just kind of odd the way went down and 0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:35.720 then moments later you find out through the report that 0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:38.239 he was out with a groin injury. But it doesn't 0:02:38.280 --> 0:02:41.280 sound very serious. Yeah, let's go on to Jordan Lewis, 0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:44.120 who had missed practice earlier in the week. Yesterday only limited, 0:02:44.200 --> 0:02:46.359 So it sounds like maybe they got a little bit 0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:48.440 more out of him yesterday. Who knows. But what are 0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:50.600 you guys hearing about Jordan trending the right way on 0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:53.880 that one too? That one I know that was that 0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:57.280 wasn't a serious pregame. They just did it really a 0:02:57.360 --> 0:03:01.000 precautionary They were worried about him. Uh, you know that 0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:03.720 maybe there is something that could have got worse. And 0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:05.760 when I asked yesterday about it, it was like, no, 0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:08.640 he's he's gonna he'll be ready, because I was concerned 0:03:08.639 --> 0:03:10.120 when we were talking on one O five three the 0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:14.040 fan kind of breaking down the rams. I was worried 0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:17.000 about how they were going to maybe match Cooper cup 0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:18.960 when Cooper goes in the slot. Are you going to 0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:21.120 have to move Brown? Are you going to use Bland? 0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:23.799 But then I said, heck, just reach out to see 0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:25.799 what's happening there. It sounds like to me that he'll 0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:27.960 be good to go for you this week. Take ferguson 0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:32.760 what are we hearing about him? Uh, honestly, I think 0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:35.360 I think the same type of thing. I don't remember 0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:38.640 him saying anything specific about that. I missed some of 0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:41.760 the McCarthy email. I said that earlier on, but I think, yeah, 0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:44.440 MRI I was clean on that, and so with it 0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:46.680 being clean, he was trending the right way. He went 0:03:46.720 --> 0:03:50.560 from not practicing too limited and that they're expecting him 0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:53.040 to play this weekend. Yeah, because then then they have 0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:55.560 McEwan back on the practice squad. They could call him 0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:58.040 back up if they needed to. Um, it's gonna be 0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:01.000 interesting to see this week because if they may not 0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:04.480 use both those call ups, they don't they will with 0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:08.400 a deep snapper of course, but you know, to do 0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:10.320 that you have to have eight linemen active. I'm not 0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:12.760 sure that they will. So there's there's a couple of 0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:15.040 things involved there. Something to keep an eye on. Two 0:04:15.480 --> 0:04:20.479 is that Overton was the primary snapper. Yesterday, Maher missed 0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:23.599 three field goals when he was the snapper. So let's 0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:26.640 see what happens with mechanics. Uh. You know, as a 0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:30.000 former long snapper myself, it starts with the snap, the 0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:33.240 hole to kick, all those things. So maybe it's just 0:04:33.240 --> 0:04:36.440 a little bit more about getting comfortable with with Overton. 0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:38.440 He's a ten year vet. He's been in a bunch 0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:41.719 of situations. You know, is the ball they having to 0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:43.880 spin the laces more? You know, most of these deep 0:04:43.880 --> 0:04:46.720 snappers are so good they could get the rotation to 0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:48.600 where you just catching and put it down and kick 0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:51.680 the ball. So is there a little bit of hesitation. 0:04:51.760 --> 0:04:53.600 I'm sure that's something that they're going to come out 0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:55.839 here and work on on the field quite a bit 0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:58.440 before you guys can playing for Los Angeles. Yeah, that's 0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:01.440 the part I'm I am. That's part I'm most worried 0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:03.760 about because the kicker has been really good so far, 0:05:03.800 --> 0:05:05.560 and I don't I just don't like the fact that 0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:07.040 I know they have to. They don't. It's like they 0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:09.640 got a choice. But but I don't love the idea 0:05:09.640 --> 0:05:13.040 of having to change the operation because any little thing 0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:15.880 for a kicker, sure it's dead. Yeah, I could get 0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:18.440 in his head and then you got your kicker all off, whack, 0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:20.480 and it's we've seen these kickers. They can go from 0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:23.560 great to nothing absolutely a you know, split second. Yeah, 0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:25.920 they haven't had and you you haven't had a lot 0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:28.120 of deep snappers around here. I mean really, you can 0:05:28.160 --> 0:05:31.320 go back and you know, last I don't know, thirty years, 0:05:31.440 --> 0:05:35.159 just probably only maybe a handful, you know, just because 0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:38.240 they did it for so long. LP were forever hell 0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:41.599 astray and LP. Yeah, yeah, I probably went it's probably 0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:44.360 longer than that if you're only gonna say like five 0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:46.800 or six, you know, Jeff Robinson for a couple of 0:05:46.880 --> 0:05:49.440 years and then and then they did condo for three 0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:51.960 games and then went help I mean, LP and LP 0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:54.480 all the way until McQuaid. So just not a lot 0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:57.520 of turn over there. Ye all right, real quick, Donovan Wilson, 0:05:57.520 --> 0:06:00.000 what do we know about him? I got the impression 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:03.440 and his was more just GPS numbers as well. He's 0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:05.200 beat up a little bit. They're trying to give him 0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:07.680 a little bit of a break good. Well, and that's natural. 0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:09.200 I mean the way he plays and he plays like 0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:11.239 you know, he gets in a car wreck forty times 0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:12.960 a game. I mean, that's just the way he plays. 0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:15.560 And you know, I mean I gros to him for 0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:19.440 not getting himself fined a lot because that that that position, 0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:24.240 that's what happens. You know. I remember Roy Williams saying 0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:26.280 I would play for free if I was playing today, 0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:28.840 because I would be getting fined every time, you know, 0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:30.840 because he's not going to change the way he plays. 0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:34.600 And you know, that's what happens. But Donovan's if it 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:37.160 found a good way to be aggressive, but not to 0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:40.840 the point where it's it's overly aggressive. Now, all right, 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:42.840 let's let's move on. I got some questions for you guys. 0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:44.240 I got a few questions. Well, also get to some 0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:46.960 fan questions. We got quite a few from Twitter, and 0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:48.400 we'll take some phone calls if you guys want to 0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:50.479 call us. The numbers eight eight eight eight five five 0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:53.640 two two nine seven again eight eight eight eight five 0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:57.160 five two two nine seven. Let's start with this question, 0:06:57.880 --> 0:07:01.200 which defensive player other than Aaron Donald are you most 0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:03.839 concerned about in this matchup? I'll give you a few options. 0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:08.320 Bobby Wagner, Jalen Ramsey, Leonard Floyd. You You're free to 0:07:08.320 --> 0:07:11.560 throw in another name if there's someone else. I think 0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:14.520 anytime you're dealing with arguably the best player at his position, 0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:17.880 and Jalen Ramsey, I mean, because Ramsey has a bill lead, 0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:21.840 he's probably better than your number one, I think, and 0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:25.520 so he's better than most number one receivers. So I mean, 0:07:25.560 --> 0:07:27.000 I think I think that's a that's a tough one 0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:29.000 when your Cowboys are trying to figure out if CD 0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:31.320 is the number one and all this stuff. You know, 0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:34.760 if he if he takes out Ceedee Lamb, that could 0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:38.440 be a problem. I think Ramsey's the issue there, but 0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:41.960 I would say for me, it is Bobby wigner Um. 0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:46.840 Especially after last game. Do you see how how angry 0:07:46.920 --> 0:07:50.760 and like forget the play of the not tackle, but 0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:55.160 just Zeke's faster than that guy, I think with yeah, 0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:59.520 oh yeah, yeah yeah. But the point is you could 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:04.160 see just how much frustration there was from their defensive side. 0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:06.600 So a guy like Bobby Wagner, the talent that he 0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:10.520 has and when you speak about the running game and 0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:13.480 maybe the Cowboys having to find some balance there and 0:08:13.640 --> 0:08:16.520 kind of commit to the run for them, not just 0:08:16.560 --> 0:08:20.840 to you know. When I didn't get to answer this yesterday, 0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:23.240 I forgot what we were talking about specifically, but it 0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:25.480 was between like the passing game and like the running 0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:28.320 game and all that, and I thought it was about 0:08:28.320 --> 0:08:30.880 committing to the running game. I was thinking about this 0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:33.600 while you were while you guys were speaking, I'm like, 0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:36.080 more so than just committing, because to me, it's more 0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:40.800 of if it doesn't work, then why keep pushing or 0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:45.400 like why keep what's the way I'm looking for? Force it? 0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:48.200 Why force it? But at the same time, you do 0:08:48.360 --> 0:08:50.920 have to give your defense a break, and the way 0:08:50.960 --> 0:08:53.560 to do that is through the running game. But anyway, 0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:56.480 your question was the player, and I'm concerned more about 0:08:56.559 --> 0:08:59.480 that aspect of things. A linebacker kind of attacking the 0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:01.080 running game, I mean that way and kind of put 0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:03.960 in a stuff to those two guys, Zeke or Polar. 0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:06.920 So a guy like him, he's he's someone to look 0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:10.599 forward like it. Next question, you agree, she hit it, 0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:15.000 she hit it perfectly, and she now you know this stuff. 0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:17.640 He also can rush the passer a couple of sacks 0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:19.880 there too. You don't need him if you're going to 0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:22.200 be committed to the run or try to have balance. 0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:25.880 You know, Nick knicks right too. And I'm not just 0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:28.520 saying him, you know, but because that's how good they are. Yeah, 0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:32.120 Because what's gonna happen is they're gonna move Ramsey all 0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:34.320 over the field, and so you gotta worry about him 0:09:34.320 --> 0:09:35.800 on both sides, and you gotta worry about him in 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:37.760 the slot so he can take away whoever you want to. 0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:40.640 It's not going to just be about one guy, but Wagner. 0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:43.160 If you are committed or you're forced to try and 0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:45.880 help your defense by running the football, it's going to 0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:49.160 be on Bobby Wagner. Ernest Jones is another one that's 0:09:49.160 --> 0:09:51.480 a linebacker. That makes place for them as well, but 0:09:51.520 --> 0:09:54.040 Wagner's the I think the lynchpen for what they do 0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:56.000 on defense. All right, let's flip it to the other 0:09:56.040 --> 0:09:58.480 side of the ball. The offensive player other than Cooper 0:09:58.559 --> 0:10:00.800 cup who you're most concern learned about. I'll give you 0:10:00.840 --> 0:10:03.400 a couple names, Tyler Higbee and O'Brien. That's a favorite 0:10:03.400 --> 0:10:07.679 for you. Cam Acres running back Alan Robinson the wide 0:10:07.679 --> 0:10:11.320 receiver has not gotten going yet but could get going. 0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:14.520 Maybe which one are you most concerned about having a 0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:19.960 big game? Nobody, I am not other than Cooper Cup No, 0:10:20.360 --> 0:10:24.560 I'm I generally I get it. And Brian, you've talked 0:10:24.559 --> 0:10:27.560 about the running backs for example, how these guys are talented, 0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:29.800 and they are and the running game just hasn't kind 0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:33.440 of kept like too caught for them taking off just yet. 0:10:34.080 --> 0:10:38.360 But literally, I don't feel any kind of and I 0:10:38.400 --> 0:10:40.160 don't want to say this, but I don't feel any 0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:43.520 kind of concern or worry against our defense. I truly 0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:46.400 feel that our defense is gonna be able to handle 0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:50.400 these guys completely and just keep doing what they've been 0:10:50.440 --> 0:10:54.200 doing week after weeks. So there's literally no guy that 0:10:54.240 --> 0:10:58.000 I'm concerned about right now. Yeah, I mean the fact 0:10:58.000 --> 0:11:01.640 that Stafford is not that like like running around like 0:11:01.679 --> 0:11:05.080 that's the one thing that can really hurt this this defense. 0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:07.800 And I think Jalen Hurts will be a you know, 0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:11.240 a huge issue against them because of how aggressive they 0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:13.400 are and that quarterback can just take off. You don't 0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:15.679 see that at a Stafford, So I see your point. 0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:18.240 Look to me, I look at a guy like I 0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:19.880 don't even know if I can pronounce his name, but 0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:23.000 like Scronic, yeah, you know, he does a lot of 0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:26.960 little things. A fullback tight in Sometimes when you get 0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:30.280 all these other things figured out, it's it's guys like 0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:32.960 that that extends a drive on third and eight because 0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:35.520 these are so versatile. He reminds me a little bit 0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:39.320 of a poor man's as u juror check or from 0:11:39.360 --> 0:11:42.720 the forty nine ers use Check. You know, guys like 0:11:42.800 --> 0:11:44.760 that that that kind of figures out a way to 0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:48.199 do something. So I look at look at a guy 0:11:48.240 --> 0:11:52.199 like Scornic that can kind of make some plays. My 0:11:52.280 --> 0:11:56.360 fear is the quarterback. That's my fear. And I maybe 0:11:56.400 --> 0:11:59.920 all of a sudden because we've seen him when he've 0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:02.960 and it was that Detroit, have days where he would 0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:06.200 light the Cowboys up. And his record against them is 0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:10.120 not great. But you look at the numbers that he's 0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:12.760 he's had. I can say he had a day where 0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:15.920 he was like eighty percent passing against the Cowboys and 0:12:16.440 --> 0:12:18.720 end up losing the game. It's funny, Like I said, 0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:21.120 he's he's had games. I will never forget that one 0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:23.679 we were in Detroit and he threw for four hundred 0:12:23.679 --> 0:12:25.920 and eighty eight yards, you know, and it was like 0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:29.080 it was they got the holding penalty on Tyron Smith 0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:31.280 that they were trying to run the clock out, and 0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:33.520 they that was the Megatron game, you know, and you 0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:35.959 just have fear. Maybe that's not what that guy is. 0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:38.880 A barbecue game. It was a barbecue game, you Derek 0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:41.040 was gonna give us. I'm gonna pay what we're gonna do, 0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:43.080 but give us a hard eight Yeah. Well I just 0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:46.520 said barbecue. I don't know. I don't know what our sponsors. 0:12:46.679 --> 0:12:49.080 I'm sorry about that, but that's me. I don't know. 0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:53.320 I don't know. But we were to get barbecue. We 0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:54.920 were gonna win the game. And it was like and 0:12:54.960 --> 0:12:57.160 he was like, right, Bryan, yeah, where we're going on Monday? 0:12:57.160 --> 0:12:58.520 And then all of a sudden, they just give up 0:12:58.520 --> 0:13:02.560 ten points a minute and a half. I think that 0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:05.760 he's I still think he's. I think he's hurt. But 0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:08.880 I do worry. I do worry about him. All of 0:13:08.920 --> 0:13:12.320 a sudden, Oh, the running game they find that, Oh wait, 0:13:12.400 --> 0:13:14.959 the screen game's working a little bit. Oh wait a minute, 0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:18.000 Cooper Cup, Yeah he's they're not really covering him all that. Well, 0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:20.960 I just worry about him making play after playing maybe 0:13:21.000 --> 0:13:22.880 not turning over the ball. That would be the thing 0:13:22.960 --> 0:13:24.920 I would be worried about in this game. Yeah, you know. 0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:26.760 I look at Cam Akers and the reason why I 0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:28.280 put him on the list is because I think he's 0:13:28.280 --> 0:13:31.120 a talented running back and I think that what I've 0:13:31.120 --> 0:13:34.280 seen so far this year Cowboys defense, that to me, 0:13:34.320 --> 0:13:35.880 has been one of their struggles. It just has it 0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:39.000 killed him. The issue in this game, though, is when 0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:41.560 you combine a short passing game which they have with 0:13:41.600 --> 0:13:44.840 Cooper Cup with an effective running game. If they can 0:13:44.880 --> 0:13:46.439 do what all these other teams have been able to 0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:49.520 do against the Cowboys, now you do have a recipe 0:13:49.520 --> 0:13:53.000 for some disaster. Because if they can put together three 0:13:53.640 --> 0:13:56.480 of those kinds of drives where they can go twelve plays, 0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:59.040 take a ton of time, and actually end up in 0:13:59.080 --> 0:14:01.600 the end zone, that can become a problem. And I 0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:04.440 we've seen this happen throughout these games, even when the 0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:07.320 Cowboys have won. When that when a team cannot kill 0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:11.600 themselves and they have a good short, quick offensive game 0:14:11.600 --> 0:14:13.920 plan like get the ball out, quick, get the ball out, quick, 0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:16.320 run the ball, run the ball, you can that's a 0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:18.880 way to beat this defense. And that's the one thing 0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:21.200 that worries me the most about this game is if 0:14:21.200 --> 0:14:23.680 they run the ball, they have the passing game to 0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:25.920 back it up and to compliment it in order to 0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:27.800 get them a win this weekend. Well they might, and 0:14:28.240 --> 0:14:31.440 even if the running game is a disaster, they'll still 0:14:31.480 --> 0:14:35.120 throw the ball in bunch formations to Cup or Higbee 0:14:35.160 --> 0:14:38.040 or one of those guys Robinson. They're going to find 0:14:38.040 --> 0:14:41.520 a way to manipulate offense if you take something away, 0:14:41.880 --> 0:14:44.600 you know, But I'm willing to live with it. If 0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:47.520 Cooper Cup's gonna catch fourteen balls and they're only gonna 0:14:47.520 --> 0:14:50.720 get nine points, I'll take that right now. If somebody 0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:53.680 would walk in the door and say, hey, Cooper Cup's 0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:56.880 gonna have fourteen but you're only gonna score nine points, 0:14:56.920 --> 0:14:59.720 sign me up, because you win that game. That's how 0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:01.640 you win in that game, right there. Yeah, this game 0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:04.680 is gonna come down to catch and tackle, catch, tackle, 0:15:05.040 --> 0:15:09.400 and it whether it's screens or or passes over the middle, whatever, 0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:14.440 Tyler Higbee, Cooper Cup, Robinson, catch tackle. Don't let them 0:15:14.480 --> 0:15:18.320 have those chunk plays on this on this offense, on 0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:21.160 these offensive drives. But if the running game gives you 0:15:21.200 --> 0:15:24.440 those plays combined with them having those short passes that 0:15:24.560 --> 0:15:26.720 even if you catch they catching you tackle them, that's 0:15:26.720 --> 0:15:28.240 gonna be a problem. That's gonna be a problem. That's 0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:30.240 gonna be Kevin third and long. I mean, that's that's 0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:34.760 that's time to change. That's the key. But but it's 0:15:34.760 --> 0:15:38.240 like you said, uh, figuring out how to manipulate some offense. 0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:41.520 I mean, we've seen McVeigh really good with those reverses. 0:15:41.840 --> 0:15:44.600 You know, my candy stays he's really good at that 0:15:44.680 --> 0:15:47.160 and stuff that I think the Cowboys should do a 0:15:47.200 --> 0:15:50.560 lot more with with Turpin Um give it to him 0:15:50.760 --> 0:15:53.880 once on a reverse, but fake it to him three times. 0:15:54.360 --> 0:15:59.120 Get get linebacker's eyes always moving this way. Well the 0:15:59.240 --> 0:16:01.680 next point. That's what the you know the commanders were 0:16:01.680 --> 0:16:04.120 able to do last week. You know when when you 0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:07.760 start talking about fooling Vanderesh and Bar and keeping them 0:16:07.800 --> 0:16:11.440 from getting over and making tackles, it's that movement, you 0:16:11.440 --> 0:16:13.800 know that those guys like they see it and they 0:16:13.880 --> 0:16:16.120 react and all you need is that one step and 0:16:16.200 --> 0:16:18.440 it gets them out the door the other way. Yeah, 0:16:18.440 --> 0:16:21.680 you know, maybe my memory is not working too well, 0:16:21.760 --> 0:16:25.400 but I feel like and going back to going shut up, 0:16:26.200 --> 0:16:30.680 going back to rams offense, versus Cowboys defense. Every time 0:16:30.680 --> 0:16:33.720 we have this conversation week after week on here about 0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:37.000 like guys that we're looking out for and things like that, 0:16:37.360 --> 0:16:40.640 has any one of those names that we've mentioned every 0:16:40.720 --> 0:16:43.400 week actually been a problem for the Cowboys, Like, I 0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:45.840 just feel like they haven't been every time we get 0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:49.000 to the game. Yeah, on paper and talent wise, but 0:16:49.040 --> 0:16:51.760 then we get to the game they play and those people, 0:16:51.880 --> 0:16:55.560 those players have not really been a problem for the 0:16:55.560 --> 0:16:59.000 Cowboys defense. Oh yeah, when yeah, when you're talking about 0:16:59.000 --> 0:17:04.480 the defense, I say Cowboys defense versus yeah opponents, Mike Evans, Yeah. 0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:09.879 Mr Chase Barkley, Yeah, they had a pretty did have 0:17:09.920 --> 0:17:12.320 a Yeah. And if you want to put the aggregate 0:17:12.320 --> 0:17:14.800 of those running backs for Washington, they gave the Cowboys 0:17:14.920 --> 0:17:16.879 some problems at the times. The problem just became like 0:17:17.160 --> 0:17:19.439 at some point they had to abandon it in the 0:17:19.440 --> 0:17:22.520 fourth quarter. But but a lot of that was even 0:17:22.520 --> 0:17:24.159 though they were running the ball well, they just couldn't 0:17:24.200 --> 0:17:26.040 sustain the drive. That was the problem. It wasn't they 0:17:26.040 --> 0:17:28.160 couldn't run the ball, they just couldn't sustain drives because 0:17:28.160 --> 0:17:30.320 they had too many penalties and the defense still managed 0:17:30.359 --> 0:17:32.040 to be success by that's my point, like, yeah, it 0:17:32.080 --> 0:17:33.960 was just because of the penalties. So that's my point. 0:17:34.000 --> 0:17:37.840 If if LA can be a more disciplined team and 0:17:37.960 --> 0:17:40.720 they run like these other teams have run, that could 0:17:40.760 --> 0:17:43.080 be a problem. Brian said it though earlier this week too. 0:17:43.160 --> 0:17:45.320 Is it's not just it's not just getting lucky that 0:17:45.440 --> 0:17:48.520 teams are not discipline, it's it's they can't block you. Yeah, 0:17:48.560 --> 0:17:50.520 and they're holding you, you know, and and that that's 0:17:50.560 --> 0:17:52.399 what happened in the on the flip side with all 0:17:52.440 --> 0:17:54.720 those pis. I mean they weren't just phantom calls. I 0:17:54.760 --> 0:17:58.119 mean they were getting mugged when they ran routes and 0:17:58.119 --> 0:18:01.040 stuff like that.
