WEBVTT - Mick Shots: When It Rains . . . 0:00:03.520 --> 0:00:06.040 The following. Here's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:06.080 --> 0:00:14.080 and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club Cowboys. This is Nick 0:00:14.320 --> 0:00:18.279 Shot screaming live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the 0:00:18.360 --> 0:00:23.560 official Dallas Cowboys apt Now here are Bill Jones, Everson Wolves, 0:00:23.840 --> 0:00:29.639 and Nicky Spagnola. It's time for our heavy lifting day 0:00:29.920 --> 0:00:35.960 here on mix Shots inside the sw SWBC podcast studio 0:00:36.000 --> 0:00:40.000 at the Star in Frisco. As the Cowboys are coming 0:00:40.080 --> 0:00:43.960 off the practice field as we speak, getting ready to 0:00:44.000 --> 0:00:46.840 address the media, would be one Dak Prescott, I assume 0:00:46.960 --> 0:00:50.040 very shortly as soon and we are here to break 0:00:50.080 --> 0:00:53.840 it all down with of course some breaking news today 0:00:53.840 --> 0:00:57.160 that we will get to very quickly. In fact, right 0:00:57.200 --> 0:01:02.520 off the top, if Mickey wants to one thing, it's 0:01:02.560 --> 0:01:08.280 another very good all right, yes, and uh when it rains, 0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:12.600 it pours. So now, not only did the Cowboys have 0:01:12.680 --> 0:01:19.479 to find a kicker to replace greg Zerline on COVID reserve, 0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:24.360 right now, they find out that that little limitation yesterday 0:01:24.640 --> 0:01:29.360 in practice with Randy Gregory with his calf muscle is 0:01:29.400 --> 0:01:34.160 now a multiple week injury. And I would think when 0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:39.160 you say multiple weeks that means no Sunday, probably not 0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:43.279 the Sunday after that, and then with the short week 0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:47.960 for Thanksgiving, certainly not for Thanksgiving either, so they're probably 0:01:47.960 --> 0:01:52.320 going to have to play three games now without either 0:01:52.520 --> 0:01:56.320 of their start starting defensive ends. And they got a 0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:59.600 Thursday game the week after thanks ever, so there's not 0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:02.720 a a long break now. Maybe he can get back 0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:07.520 for that. Um. It sounded like his calf strain was 0:02:07.600 --> 0:02:11.680 closer to the degree of DAKS than it was to 0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:15.240 Michael Gallup's. Okay, so how long did it take before 0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:20.760 between games for DAK Three weeks? Ye? All right, we 0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:24.600 are we are Thursday r It happened Wednesday in practice, right, 0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:28.280 So next Wednesdays one week, the day before Thanksgiving is 0:02:28.400 --> 0:02:31.520 two weeks, and the day before the New Orleans game 0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:37.080 is three weeks. So probably after that ten day break. 0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:41.639 So you're thinking just on the fly here, December, that 0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:45.000 means four games. That means he's ready for the run, yes, 0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:46.800 because that's when we will have to make that five 0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:48.919 games left after that, And I'll tell you what now, 0:02:49.760 --> 0:02:52.720 I'm not sure when DeMarcus Lawrence can get back, but 0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:57.040 just watching his rehab and how he's running, he's got 0:02:57.040 --> 0:03:03.320 to be close. And again, you know everybody. He fractured 0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:06.240 his fifth metatarsal. There you go. So that's usually a 0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:08.760 four to six week andre I told you the story 0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:11.639 about mine, and they told me two months. And then 0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:14.400 I said, okay, my two months are up, and they said, okay, 0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:17.080 now a month of rehab. And I said, wait a minute, 0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:20.919 you said two months. But he had surgery, right, they 0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:23.600 put a screw in there to facilitate the healing. And 0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:27.240 he's forty years younger than you. Yeah, and he at 0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:34.680 the time. This bags myself twenty years. I was young. 0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:42.720 He was young. I was young. He would have been fifty. Sorry, 0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:48.960 So we'll see when he's back. Um, so it's not 0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:53.400 this week obviously, and then I can't imagine it's next 0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:57.000 week and then a short week, so maybe New Orleans. 0:03:57.000 --> 0:03:59.320 So we're gonna put him out another three weeks. Yeah, 0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:01.600 and even they he comes back, you gotta think that 0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:05.440 it's gonna be difficult, you know, to follow it up 0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:08.200 with it, because you know what they want to do 0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:11.440 is practice him a week and then practice the next 0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:16.840 week for a game. Yes, So yeah, that's uh, that's problematic. 0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:20.279 Since Randy Gregory's tied for the lead with five sacks 0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:24.320 um it's gonna mess up my projection of him getting 0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:28.680 double digit sacks when he had five halfway through. Well, 0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:34.880 if he comes back for the last five, when he 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:37.200 gets back and he's gonna be mad, you know he 0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:40.680 plays bad when he's mad, exactly. Yes, So so yeah, 0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:44.760 So that's one that they're gonna have to compensate for. Obviously, 0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:47.920 Mike McCarthy didn't want to spill the beans on what 0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:51.000 they're gonna do, but he did mention, you know, some 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:53.279 guys are gonna have in the rotation, gonna have to 0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:56.560 take up some snaps, and then he mentioned Dorrance. So 0:04:56.680 --> 0:05:01.520 I would imagine Dorrance probably one of the guys that 0:05:01.640 --> 0:05:06.440 has to step up. Basham needs to step up, Goldston 0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:09.120 needs a better game than this last one. And I 0:05:09.120 --> 0:05:12.960 would imagine they'll use a practice squad call up on 0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:17.160 Bradley and I, um, he's back, so he go out right, 0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:22.000 and you also forget about the look that that coach 0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:24.479 gave him. Yeah right, and he still and he was 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:27.000 asked about a nie. I think Brad Sham asked him 0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:30.000 in the press conference, and he immediately start talking about 0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:32.520 his special team stuff and he didn't say anything about 0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:35.240 playing defensive end. And then he said, yeah, and he 0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:37.479 just needs to cut down in his mistakes so that 0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:45.159 the right so that that off side, that off side 0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:50.640 on that still sticking in somebody. Yeah yeah, and then 0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:54.560 remember you've got Michael Parsons. That's that you can use 0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:58.080 in spot situations at defensive end. I still don't think 0:05:58.080 --> 0:06:00.200 you want to have him out there. Fee if the 0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:05.720 snaps against some offensive tackle on the package right him around. 0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:09.159 I still like him, you know, rushing from the middle 0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:11.840 the way he has. Plus they've got a tight end 0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:14.360 this week that they need to take care of. Two 0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:17.640 by the way, so I think it'll be you know, 0:06:18.240 --> 0:06:22.680 all hands on deck at defensive end. Um, and even 0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:28.320 you know defensive tackle now. Uh, Quintin Bohannah miss practice 0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:32.040 today with an illness non COVID. You always have to 0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:37.720 specify that. Uh, so you know, bash him could move inside. 0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:43.520 They've got Hamilton, They've got Watkins, um, so we'll see 0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:49.120 where that one goes. Also missing today was Corey Clement, 0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:52.400 the running back non COVID, but it was an illness. 0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:57.080 Second that was yesterday's yesterday practice. Any any mist again today, 0:06:57.800 --> 0:07:01.080 so two in a row. So I saw in practice 0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:03.560 when they were doing position stuff. It looked like, you know, 0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:06.400 if they need a third running back. Jaquan Hardy is 0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:09.560 on the practice squad, so that's a possibility if he 0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:15.400 doesn't get back. Cedric Wilson missed practice again with a shoulder, 0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:20.400 although he was out there running doing rehabs, so we'll 0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:23.680 see where he's able to go. So that's kind of 0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:28.000 the I think the entire in. Tyrn Smith, by the way, 0:07:28.360 --> 0:07:33.160 you know, not to bury the lead, missed again. McCarthy 0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:38.200 said he's progressing. I think he spent the day rehabbing also, 0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:45.880 So yesterday Brian Anger and Jake McQuaid they held him 0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:50.680 out of practice out of abundance of caution because they 0:07:50.680 --> 0:07:54.480 didn't they weren't sure about close contact with zerlines. But 0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:58.440 they were back in practice. They were back in practice today. 0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:03.360 It looked like Ezekiel Elliott was doing fine. He was 0:08:03.440 --> 0:08:10.200 moving around. They had him listed as limited Umari Cooper limited, 0:08:10.320 --> 0:08:15.040 but that was kind of by design. And then uh 0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:19.600 and I mentioned the other guys, so Tyrn Smith, um 0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:24.360 it looks like just the way they were lighting up yesterday, 0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:26.440 they were going to do it again today with the 0:08:26.760 --> 0:08:30.480 Terren Steele left and Lell Collins to the right, and 0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:32.480 then they got to get tight in a secky ready. 0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:35.960 You know, he's the swing guy now. And if if 0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:39.560 Steele struggles, maybe you have to get him in there somehouse. 0:08:39.600 --> 0:08:43.400 You can't struggle that much, right, If he struggles that much, 0:08:43.440 --> 0:08:47.480 then we are definitely in trouble. Yes, or you better 0:08:47.480 --> 0:08:49.800 put that tight end over there. Yes. And to me, 0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:51.839 I think they should start off like that. I think 0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:53.960 they should just play the game like that. And I 0:08:54.000 --> 0:08:56.040 know we talked about they did a little bit in Tampa. 0:08:56.160 --> 0:08:58.720 Let's just continue with that. Let's not make let's not 0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:01.440 get too ahead of ourselves, right now, go back to 0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:03.520 the basics. You know, someone asked me, I don't know 0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:05.160 if it was you. You asked me about how do 0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:07.319 you get back to it? You know, you got to 0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:09.640 get back to the basics, man, You know, go back 0:09:09.679 --> 0:09:13.040 to the week one. Understand where you are. And now 0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:16.800 as much as our differences have been blasted out there 0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:19.000 amongst the public, you know, let's just go ahead and 0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:21.080 own up to it and continue with what we're doing. 0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:26.160 How many practices did Terrence Steel have at left tackle 0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:29.200 before he made that start as far as in the 0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:34.480 regular season three and well, no regular season right, because 0:09:34.679 --> 0:09:37.800 he did it in training. How the regular season last 0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:40.600 week for a game, and remember they were coming off 0:09:40.600 --> 0:09:43.440 the Sunday night game. They had a shorter practice on Wednesday. 0:09:43.520 --> 0:09:47.199 They had the regular long practice on Thursday. They don't 0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:51.400 on Friday, rejuvenation Friday, and then the Saturday before the game. 0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:53.880 Who knows how much they do. And that's a that's 0:09:53.880 --> 0:09:59.720 a a less physical practice. So there really was one 0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:03.640 full practice where he was playing left tackle. And so 0:10:03.679 --> 0:10:07.640 I think when Mike McCarthy says, let's give it more reps, 0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:10.440 you know, I think that's what he's referring to. Now 0:10:10.880 --> 0:10:13.840 you can have more focused we know what the issues are. 0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:16.040 He may have improved as the game went on. I 0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:18.920 don't know. He even admitted after the game that it 0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:22.000 was a little more than he struggled with it, more 0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:24.640 than he thought anticipated. But it doesn't mean that it's 0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:28.240 not correctable as far as being able to maybe some 0:10:28.280 --> 0:10:32.600 technique stuff right that he because when he was getting beat, 0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:35.120 it looked like he was getting beat to the outside. 0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:37.959 So you gotta remember it. When you're on the right side, 0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:40.080 you're punching with your right hand. When you're on the left, 0:10:40.120 --> 0:10:44.360 you gotta punch with your left hand, and you got 0:10:44.360 --> 0:10:47.199 to get off the snap. You know, you gotta have 0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:51.880 some rhythm over there also, So so we'll see because 0:10:51.920 --> 0:10:56.240 I think in this game, you know, I think you 0:10:56.280 --> 0:11:01.000 can run on the falcons and that was what hurt 0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:03.600 him this pass game. They needed to run the ball 0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:09.200 more effectively. And how much did Zeke average? It's five 0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:14.400 yards to carry? Yeah, but they didn't get ten ten cary. Yeah, 0:11:14.400 --> 0:11:17.640 you get behind sixteen nothing and now you buy necessity 0:11:18.160 --> 0:11:20.920 last year or not exactly, that's right, So all this 0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:24.880 you know bs about. Oh, we got the blueprint out 0:11:24.920 --> 0:11:27.960 there for you. Yeah. Now, the week before, Zeke only 0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:30.520 average I think three yards to carry, but this week 0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:33.120 he averaged five yards to carry, right, So it wasn't 0:11:33.160 --> 0:11:35.480 like they weren't able to run the ball. It was 0:11:35.520 --> 0:11:38.920 just the way the game played out. Yeah, the way 0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:41.280 the game played out. And when you don't pick up 0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:43.800 third and one because it worth than one and two, 0:11:44.000 --> 0:11:46.560 you don't extend because they only you couldn't have that 0:11:46.600 --> 0:11:51.120 many snaps. Well, you're down sixteen to nothing and you're 0:11:51.160 --> 0:11:53.640 in your two minute offense to end a half, okay, 0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:56.240 and then you don't get the the block punt to 0:11:56.280 --> 0:11:58.640 start the third quarter. And so when you get the 0:11:58.679 --> 0:12:01.840 ball in the third quarter, now you're down. You're down 0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:07.080 nineteen to nothing, and it's because you're in It's not 0:12:07.200 --> 0:12:10.560 thirteen minutes left, third minutes. They only had the ball 0:12:10.600 --> 0:12:14.040 for eighteen minutes, right, We went over that. So their 0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:18.160 total plays in this game against Denver was fifty seven. 0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:22.400 That was one more than the previous low of fifty 0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:27.680 six against Carolina. So when Vic Fangio talks about, uh, 0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:31.040 you know, not blitzing, going the four man rush, and 0:12:31.160 --> 0:12:33.960 you know, other teams weren't playing the Cowboys, like the 0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:36.560 other teams weren't playing the Cowboys with Terrence Steele at 0:12:36.640 --> 0:12:39.080 left tackle and Lyle Collins playing his second game in 0:12:39.120 --> 0:12:42.400 the last two years, and they also weren't played. So 0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:45.800 if I was putting a defensive game plan in again 0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:48.680 and I know nothing against the Cowboys, I would have 0:12:49.080 --> 0:12:52.960 not blitzed and see what these tackles can do, you know, right, Yeah, 0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:56.160 And they didn't hold up as well as they needed to. 0:12:56.559 --> 0:13:00.520 And the other thing is, now you've got a an 0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:04.720 offense with a lead, So the defense is sitting there going, okay, 0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:08.160 let's not just give up anything big, right, and they're 0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:12.480 gonna have to grind down the field on us. That's 0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:15.320 what I was going to ask about the Falcons. Uh, 0:13:15.440 --> 0:13:18.240 you know they can you know, they maybe could run 0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:20.679 on us. That's what I was thinking. What is their 0:13:20.760 --> 0:13:24.439 running game like because they've had this new found success 0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:29.120 And depending on what your response is, then you're talking 0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:33.720 about taking linebackers possibly moving them to the outside on 0:13:33.800 --> 0:13:36.679 the defensive line. Correct. I mean sometimes you're gonna be 0:13:36.800 --> 0:13:39.719 left with packages in that manner and then to to 0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:42.680 cover up for those linebackers that you're gonna have to 0:13:42.679 --> 0:13:46.320 put down on the front line. Now you've got big 0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:50.880 safeties Kolu uh Neil, You've got Jay Roon. You know, 0:13:50.920 --> 0:13:54.600 these guys can fill in at the linebacker position. If 0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:57.520 they can't run the ball, well, then we might just 0:13:57.559 --> 0:14:00.360 go in with a with a big dime. I'm type 0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:02.520 of nickels and they are twenty ninth in the league 0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:08.280 and rushing. Yeah, like Davis is cour Daryl Patterson. Uh, 0:14:08.320 --> 0:14:12.440 they've actually used him better than anybody previously in his 0:14:12.520 --> 0:14:16.079 career as has used him as they're they're using him 0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:18.760 both as a running back and as a receiver, and 0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:23.160 he's been very effective. Well, he's been very effective, but 0:14:23.520 --> 0:14:28.520 they're only averaging three point for yards to carry. Uh, 0:14:28.560 --> 0:14:33.000 he's averaging three eight and Davis three two. What it 0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:36.720 does is it creates mismatching. Great, it's mismatch because you 0:14:36.720 --> 0:14:38.280 don't know if he's going to be a running back 0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:39.840 or if he's going to be a wide receiver. And 0:14:39.880 --> 0:14:42.360 that's why we should have that big nickel in right, 0:14:42.560 --> 0:14:45.000 exactly right, And you're gonna need that anyway to deal 0:14:45.040 --> 0:14:47.800 with Pitts, of course, but they only have four rushing 0:14:47.920 --> 0:14:50.080 They don't want to run the ball. Mattie Ice that 0:14:50.080 --> 0:14:53.040 that plays, He's going to throw the ball that plays 0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:55.680 in two our hands. That really the fact that they 0:14:55.680 --> 0:14:57.720 were going to try to come out throwing the ball, 0:14:58.000 --> 0:15:00.640 not just that Denver didn't throw the ball, but they 0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:05.680 didn't come out doing it. The main the main uh uh, 0:15:05.720 --> 0:15:08.960 you know, Cornerstone was running the ball this game. The 0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:13.480 passing came afterwards, that's right. Yeah, but that was Denver different. Yeah, 0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:17.120 with Javonte Williams and Melvin Gordon and with it. That's 0:15:17.160 --> 0:15:20.000 the horses they will that's right. And they had three 0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:23.080 offensive linemen that were One thing about the Falcons that 0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:26.760 I think is the envy of basically every team in 0:15:26.760 --> 0:15:30.680 the league. I went through their offensive line snaps. Their 0:15:30.720 --> 0:15:34.800 starters have missed one game on the offensive line. Yeah, 0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:37.200 and they've got three first round former first round draft 0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:40.840 picks on their offensive line. And uh and even I 0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:42.960 don't know what they're raided. Wouldn't they run the ball 0:15:43.040 --> 0:15:48.040 more than U? I mean it's especially not mad, especially cool, 0:15:48.080 --> 0:15:52.680 but made they think about this, think about this. Arthur 0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:55.680 Smith is their head coach and where did he come from? 0:15:55.680 --> 0:15:59.920 The Tennessee Titans. Wow, that's crazy. I know He's like, 0:16:00.200 --> 0:16:02.880 we're gonna run the ball. Averaging that Derrick Henry and 0:16:04.920 --> 0:16:08.680 um Matt Ryan's averaging thirty eight past attempts a game. 0:16:08.840 --> 0:16:13.200 That's a lot. Oh, that's a lot. And they've only 0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:18.400 run the ball one hundred and ninety times like two, 0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:23.680 two twenty two maybe a game. Yeah, so they want 0:16:23.720 --> 0:16:27.440 to throw the football. You think they'll change their approach 0:16:27.600 --> 0:16:31.960 considering what they saw from Denver? Can they? Yeah, that's it? 0:16:32.040 --> 0:16:36.040 Might want to candy who's a running back, Mike Davis, 0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:42.000 Mike Davis and Cordarrell Patterson. And he's only averaging uh 0:16:42.280 --> 0:16:45.920 three two a carry. By the way, Okay, so do 0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:49.120 we do do the Cowboys how do you do this? 0:16:49.200 --> 0:16:52.840 I mean, considering what Denver did. They came in heavy underdogs. 0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:55.960 You know, we're feeling good, chess all puffed out. We 0:16:56.000 --> 0:16:57.840 didn't think they be We knew they try to run 0:16:57.840 --> 0:16:59.800 the ball on us if they were going to be successful. 0:17:00.320 --> 0:17:03.640 So now do we come in thinking, well, they're gonna change, 0:17:03.640 --> 0:17:06.120 so we're gonna change. So we're gonna come in without 0:17:06.160 --> 0:17:09.240 heavy run defense. Are we gonna be that silly? Are 0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:11.560 we going to be that gullible? Get to get this? 0:17:11.680 --> 0:17:16.160 Last week against New Orleans DA, Mike Davis had nine 0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:20.480 carries for thirteen yards and Patterson had nine carries for 0:17:20.600 --> 0:17:25.919 ten yards. Okay, Patterson w Patterson had six catches for 0:17:25.960 --> 0:17:29.760 one hundred and twenty six yards. And in fact, Isaiah 0:17:29.960 --> 0:17:33.320 Standback just did a little telestrator segment from that game 0:17:34.119 --> 0:17:36.080 and which you'll be able to see on the Mike 0:17:36.160 --> 0:17:40.120 McCarthy Show and elsewhere here on Donald's Cowboys dot Com. 0:17:40.160 --> 0:17:42.920 And he but he illustrated a play where they had 0:17:42.960 --> 0:17:47.640 Patterson and we talked about the matchups. They had Patterson 0:17:47.760 --> 0:17:50.840 lining up as a wide receiver, they went empty and 0:17:50.960 --> 0:17:56.040 a linebacker Kwan Alexander had to guard Cordarrel Patterson out 0:17:56.320 --> 0:17:58.600 split out wide to the right side. He ran a 0:17:58.600 --> 0:18:02.840 little slug go route and beat them deep. And so 0:18:02.920 --> 0:18:05.120 that's the kind of stuff that they trying to do. 0:18:05.320 --> 0:18:07.840 And this is what I'm talking about with Michael Parsons, 0:18:08.080 --> 0:18:10.040 because I'm sure there'd be moments that they're going to 0:18:10.080 --> 0:18:12.800 try and isolate him. Now, you can run a fourty 0:18:12.880 --> 0:18:15.439 three whatever all you want, but when you have to 0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:19.200 get out there and cover back pedal quarterback, use hands 0:18:19.240 --> 0:18:22.640 and feet at the same time, turning your hips to go, 0:18:23.200 --> 0:18:26.679 you know, planning to stop a miss. I get it. 0:18:26.720 --> 0:18:28.840 He's a heck of an athlete, but he's that's how 0:18:28.880 --> 0:18:31.080 he does when it comes to play against a run, 0:18:31.440 --> 0:18:35.000 when you're going backwards, that takes a different type of skill. 0:18:35.359 --> 0:18:38.520 It's kwan Alexander is a very athletic linebacker and he 0:18:38.600 --> 0:18:40.480 got beat on that play, which makes and now with 0:18:40.560 --> 0:18:44.160 the Cowboys need at defensive end with Grant with Gregory out, 0:18:44.640 --> 0:18:47.920 it makes you wonder, Okay, maybe the best the most 0:18:47.920 --> 0:18:50.840 effective place to put Parsons is as an edge rusher 0:18:51.280 --> 0:18:55.720 and then you use casting down so kean O'Neil um 0:18:56.520 --> 0:19:00.720 and without the without the run threat, that other teams 0:19:00.800 --> 0:19:04.000 might have. Mickey doesn't like that idea, jay Ron cursing 0:19:04.200 --> 0:19:07.960 him at linebacker. I think, I think in a certain situations, 0:19:08.040 --> 0:19:10.919 especially obvious passing downs, I want him at the end 0:19:12.040 --> 0:19:16.359 obvious passing down. Here's my question, who do you want? 0:19:16.960 --> 0:19:20.280 And in that situation, who do you want out on Patterson? 0:19:20.440 --> 0:19:22.920 If they go empty and they put Patterson flanked out 0:19:22.920 --> 0:19:25.520 to them, well no, no, I'm not worried about Patterson 0:19:25.560 --> 0:19:29.440 as much as I'm worried about pile Pit. Okay, they're 0:19:29.480 --> 0:19:32.359 gonna line him up outside like jay Ron, curse is 0:19:32.400 --> 0:19:34.520 gonna happen. New Orleans thought the same thing, and then 0:19:34.760 --> 0:19:39.959 Patterson beat Kwan Alexander for him. That's that's why. So 0:19:39.960 --> 0:19:42.000 what do you You got to have two people to 0:19:42.040 --> 0:19:44.000 go with, two amazing people. You better get up so 0:19:44.040 --> 0:19:45.919 you got curse. You better get a pass rush, so 0:19:45.960 --> 0:19:50.359 you got curse on Pitts. I think Trayvon Diggs. No, 0:19:51.000 --> 0:19:53.680 if he lines up as I'm talking, no one, I'm 0:19:53.680 --> 0:19:56.160 talking Pitts lines up as a tight end. Oh, he's 0:19:56.200 --> 0:19:59.440 not gonna line up as a in the slot. He's 0:19:59.440 --> 0:20:02.680 gonna be off the line of scrimmage. Okay, pits line. 0:20:02.800 --> 0:20:05.080 I'm just saying Pits lines up as a slot because 0:20:05.080 --> 0:20:08.360 he is a tight end, and I mean quote unquota tied. 0:20:08.600 --> 0:20:12.400 They have other wide receivers where you're going and then 0:20:12.600 --> 0:20:14.879 and then you Patterson's you're running back, but they go 0:20:14.960 --> 0:20:18.280 empty and they put Patterson outside. So what matchups do you? 0:20:18.320 --> 0:20:22.560 Whoever's further outside my cornerback gets okay, so you you 0:20:22.560 --> 0:20:25.280 don't want to follow anyone. I don't think I'm gonna 0:20:25.280 --> 0:20:30.119 follow that luxury, yeah, because that's how they create the matchups. Yeah, right, 0:20:30.320 --> 0:20:34.119 and and and look McCarthy should know about this because 0:20:34.160 --> 0:20:40.000 remember he had um the wide receiver turned running Montgomery 0:20:40.040 --> 0:20:43.480 Montgomery like the kid from Dallas, right, yes, and so 0:20:43.560 --> 0:20:46.080 he knows how that creates a problem. Plus they put 0:20:46.119 --> 0:20:49.600 eighty four on Patterson. So now you don't know if 0:20:49.600 --> 0:20:51.879 you think, oh, okay, got I've got a wide receiver 0:20:52.000 --> 0:20:54.160 out there, right, But then he lines up at running 0:20:54.200 --> 0:20:56.600 back or he starts at running back, and next thing 0:20:56.640 --> 0:20:58.480 he's out in the slot, and you go. When you 0:20:58.640 --> 0:21:01.520 have a situation like this, it does create a matchup problem. 0:21:01.520 --> 0:21:03.560 Of course, the safest thing to do. Foss goes on. 0:21:04.200 --> 0:21:06.480 It's really going to be confusing because they put eight 0:21:06.600 --> 0:21:10.800 on pits and so they're lining up a quarterback it. Yeah, 0:21:10.920 --> 0:21:14.840 that was a joke. No, I'm with you, and I 0:21:14.880 --> 0:21:18.520 got some interesting stuff on pits. Okay, change number the 0:21:18.560 --> 0:21:24.040 beginning during the season, during the game, you just you 0:21:24.119 --> 0:21:28.360 just need to write another Ada guy there, right, all right? 0:21:28.440 --> 0:21:32.679 We continue with more mix shots in just a moment.
