Speaker 1: born and raising Oakcliffe, Texas. Um. You know the thing
Speaker 1: about o'cliffe, Texas is we don't have a lot of

Speaker 1: a hidden camera for that one. I can't here. You know.
Speaker 1: That's messing me over like two days. Didn't think he
Speaker 1: wears jersey. I don't think so. Chance he wore a jersey.
Speaker 1: You know he wear he has a camouflage stars hat.
Speaker 1: Then he loves man. He wears that all the time
Speaker 1: up here when he comes back in the office. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there you go. I've got my jersey for tonight. I

Speaker 1: you have the custom one. Yeah, but you are you
Speaker 1: represent the town all day, all day, every day, every day.
Speaker 1: I see you. I respect anybody who reps their city. No,
Speaker 1: that's rep ere city. There's there's no question that I
Speaker 1: reped Seattle. Nobody have a question, no, no, but Sheriff
Speaker 1: never be a question of Seattle Sons is still the
Speaker 1: best team. And no, Seattle Sonics are still the best team. Like,
Speaker 1: I'm still going to Seattle anything, Seattle volleyball, Seattle hockey, Seattle,
Speaker 1: whatever it is. I'm repping it to borrow a phrase
Speaker 1: from the kids to the logo and the name fire slaps. Ye, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's slaps. It's great. Yes, I'm trying. No cap on
Speaker 1: that line, No cap, as Bradsham would say, Oh it
Speaker 1: just happened, Yeah, that just happened. Did he ever say
Speaker 1: that in the preseason game? Don't think, Hey, re turned forty.
Speaker 1: You try to like cool it up a little bit,
Speaker 1: you know, you know, maybe gotta get with the time. Yeah, sure,
Speaker 1: you gotta tell me. I got a fourteen year old
Speaker 1: wlcing around my house. Sean bra Yes he was who
Speaker 1: Sean Bradley. Sean Bradley just came to my mind. All right,
Speaker 1: news and notes, Rob, what happened yesterday at the Star.
Speaker 1: It was a pretty dry day overall here though, Hero Yeah,
Speaker 1: nobody officially else activated off of the COVID list yesterday,
Speaker 1: but again that will be coming today tomorrow. Uh, that's
Speaker 1: expected with Michael Parsons with Tyrann Smith. So not a
Speaker 1: lot of news and notes from the Cowboys perspective, if
Speaker 1: just keep an eye on the forty nine ers injury
Speaker 1: report in particular, sounded like Jimmy Garoppolo came out of
Speaker 1: the game against the Rams okay with that torn ligament
Speaker 1: in his thumb, which from your perspective, I'm sure that's
Speaker 1: limiting as a quarterback as well. And keep an eye
Speaker 1: on Trent Williams, their left tackle as well, who had
Speaker 1: the elbow injury and did not play against the Rams.
Speaker 1: But yeah, they'll see if you could give it a go.
Speaker 1: And that's certainly a matchup to watch for Sunday major yea, yeah,
Speaker 1: And so I mean it kind of goes back to
Speaker 1: the conversation that we had the other day of you're
Speaker 1: looking healthier, You're getting healthier as you're going along, and
Speaker 1: you're starting to look at it as these guys are
Speaker 1: coming back. They'll be back on the practice field today
Speaker 1: and hopefully more than those guys than that, don't We'll
Speaker 1: be back on the practice field and working off of
Speaker 1: the side. Now, there was a report out there that
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, there was just one article that said the
Speaker 1: Cowboys signed Kai for Bath as a second kicker for
Speaker 1: the playoffs. It's not true, Just so everybody knows. I
Speaker 1: asked that question on Twitter, so I wanted to throw
Speaker 1: that out there as well. But can I just real
Speaker 1: quick throw it before it John Fossil, I don't know
Speaker 1: if you guys heard that interview for talk for fifteen
Speaker 1: minutes about how he's still got faith in Greg's airline,
Speaker 1: Tiger Woods has lost his swing at times and gotten
Speaker 1: it back and all that stuff, and he thinks he
Speaker 1: kind of said two different things. He said, Okay, yes,
Speaker 1: the back surgery in the off season probably has affected
Speaker 1: him all year in his rhythm. But at this point,
Speaker 1: some of these missus are psychological, so not ideal going
Speaker 1: into a playoff game, you know, but go ahead, yeah,
Speaker 1: let's play it, you know, because he's kind of been
Speaker 1: trying to find it really all season. You know, he's
Speaker 1: really been kind of trying to find it all season,
Speaker 1: and he really only started trying to find it when
Speaker 1: you know, the game was live, you know, Tampa week
Speaker 1: as when we first got him out. You know, we
Speaker 1: kicked quite a bit actually in the preseason, but it
Speaker 1: was all just swinging really no operation. Um about every
Speaker 1: other day we did quite a bit of swinging off
Speaker 1: off the time clock. Nobody was out there. I don't
Speaker 1: think people realized that. But but as far as the
Speaker 1: operation and true game, you know, um, he really started
Speaker 1: trying to find it right about right about when the
Speaker 1: season started, and so um that put us behind the
Speaker 1: eight ball. And I think he's still you know, I
Speaker 1: can speak for him. I think he's still trying to
Speaker 1: trying to find it and he's been real close and
Speaker 1: for a couple of weeks there, Um, he's really dialed in.
Speaker 1: And then he said Kansas City game, he hit a
Speaker 1: couple of really good balls and then he just kind
Speaker 1: of lost it. And he's been kind of back and forth.
Speaker 1: It seems like since the Kansas City game where he
Speaker 1: felt like that's when he found it. He don't think
Speaker 1: that's kind of scary to be going into a playoff
Speaker 1: find it if it was, if it was rookie, maybe
Speaker 1: I think every kickers kind of lost it before and
Speaker 1: they find it again. Um. I think Tiger Woods a
Speaker 1: lot of times has lost it. You know, it's like
Speaker 1: if you're a golfers like man, once you get it down,
Speaker 1: why don't you just stay with that forever? But either
Speaker 1: they kind of lose it, they kind of tweak it. Um.
Speaker 1: So it's a good question. Yeah, that was new he
Speaker 1: Scruggs Tigers the Hall of Fame. Yeah, we got wish
Speaker 1: to go Greg. Great questions by new he Scruggs asking
Speaker 1: what everybody's thinking. Yep, you know, and the words lost it, tweak,
Speaker 1: and mental. I mean, I'll throw around there, thrown around
Speaker 1: there for a kicker, it's not necessarily anything that helps
Speaker 1: ease the nerves. No, because he pretty much just said
Speaker 1: that he his his kicking game. His ability to kick
Speaker 1: is like like a word search right now, trying to
Speaker 1: find it, and that's not what you want. And going
Speaker 1: into the playoffs, these games are gonna get some of
Speaker 1: these games is gonna come down to a field goal.
Speaker 1: That's just a reality. Or now you have to think
Speaker 1: about extra points, something that you never have really had
Speaker 1: the second guess, you know, you see it back in
Speaker 1: the day, used to be extra point was just good
Speaker 1: given it was a gimme. It was something that you
Speaker 1: just went to the bathroom on Now, it's a player
Speaker 1: that you sit around and you hold you you hold
Speaker 1: your p and you watch it and you make sure
Speaker 1: it went through and then you go take care your business.
Speaker 1: So that's the situation if the Dallas Cowboys are in
Speaker 1: right now. It's unfortunate, but you know to his point,
Speaker 1: you know there is some validity there. When you have
Speaker 1: somebody who has been doing something at a high level
Speaker 1: for a very long time and they get off their game,
Speaker 1: and they get off their game, there is going to
Speaker 1: be uh, there's always an opportunity for them to find it,
Speaker 1: and once they find it is locked in. So there
Speaker 1: is that hope. That boy a hole gangster heed and
Speaker 1: kept on talking, let's do this going out? Why you bad?
Speaker 1: The camera was on him and he still caught the
Speaker 1: panel and then just ripped it down and pull it
Speaker 1: off the ground. That's that's pocket poise right there, because
Speaker 1: the situations, Yeah, he felt the pressure off the edge
Speaker 1: and he just kept on rolling. That follows towards him,
Speaker 1: follows towards me. So I'm like, hey, thank you for that. Uh,
Speaker 1: what are your thoughts on the kicking situation? You want
Speaker 1: to have any thoughts on the kicking situation. Kyle, I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't want this to be an event. All right,
Speaker 1: we're turning this into an event. He just said everything.
Speaker 1: You need to hear this. You should be a time
Speaker 1: when you go to the bathroom. You can't anymore. We
Speaker 1: have a ritual in our house where we hold our
Speaker 1: hands up. He hold our hands up while he's kicking,
Speaker 1: because we just feel like if we just say it's good,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be good. So everybody hold your hands U.
Speaker 1: I thought you were praying. That's what they professing. It's good.
Speaker 1: It's all. I don't want to make this and to
Speaker 1: an event, and I want to take care of business
Speaker 1: and gets started quickly so we don't have to come
Speaker 1: back here and talk about the kicker. We have a
Speaker 1: special teams coach that just took twenty minutes of his
Speaker 1: life talking about his freaking kicker. Beam. Please Friday clips
Speaker 1: the entire the entire house, the whole house. Does this
Speaker 1: for the duration of the kicking operations. Yeah, snap to
Speaker 1: the hall of the kick. Ye gotta hold your hands up.
Speaker 1: I think I think all of talking cowboys nations should
Speaker 1: do that on Sunday. What if you're at the game
Speaker 1: when Greg Aleg goes to line up, I'm not talking
Speaker 1: about so they have timents. Check your pulses, check your poles,
Speaker 1: take a picture of it, put your arms in the air,
Speaker 1: and take another picture in your Yes. Oh man, we've
Speaker 1: got plenty of stuff for you to do here in
Speaker 1: the games. It's horror, balls around, kicking, and it's all
Speaker 1: about the special teas. Oh that's hilarious. I just don't
Speaker 1: want to have this be a situation, and it is
Speaker 1: because now it is, and it's it's one of those things.
Speaker 1: I'm sure everyone is uncomfortable with it, especially what Isaiah outlines.
Speaker 1: Just one of these playoff games is gonna come down
Speaker 1: to him actually hitting one. And you look over the
Speaker 1: you look over the course of the season. He I believe,
Speaker 1: going into the New England game, had to kick a
Speaker 1: field goal to take it to overtime. Sir line did
Speaker 1: that right. There's several situations the Vegas game we need
Speaker 1: he made that. So I just man, right now is
Speaker 1: the extra points and thing like that? Man just makes
Speaker 1: this thing way too interesting, which Stone needed and they're
Speaker 1: one in three this season in games decided by three
Speaker 1: points or less. Why would you do that? It just
Speaker 1: did he I think he missed a field goal and
Speaker 1: all three losses. So Tampa Bay, I'm trying to Vegas
Speaker 1: Vegas definitely, and Arizona right Zona definitely. Yeah. Yeah. First,
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not the only reason why you lose
Speaker 1: a football game. And he is a veteran, and what
Speaker 1: else are you gonna do at this point in the season,
Speaker 1: I would imagine, but you know, but they needed they
Speaker 1: needed to get right. The expectation is that these games
Speaker 1: are going to be close. That's the expectation in the
Speaker 1: playoffs if you get to blow out awesome, right, but
Speaker 1: the expectation is that you're gonna have close, one possession games.
Speaker 1: That's a majority of the time that you're not going
Speaker 1: to blow out most of these teams. Team absolutely, and
Speaker 1: every round he gets more difficult. So you're thinking about
Speaker 1: a team like we're about to face of forty nine ers.
Speaker 1: The forty niners run the ball efficiently, effectively, and they
Speaker 1: are very determined and deliberate and how they run the ball.
Speaker 1: These guys are getting eight nine yards a pop on average,
Speaker 1: like I'm saying, I want to say, how average, but
Speaker 1: pretty cons instantly. So if you go out there, you
Speaker 1: have you have you have opportunity to tie the ball game,
Speaker 1: you score, you say they have seven, You obviously score
Speaker 1: a touchdown. Now you miss extra point. Now you're down one.
Speaker 1: And they just said we're gonna take seven minutes off
Speaker 1: the clock and we're just gonna run a ball. That
Speaker 1: kills you. Yep, that kills you and the ND if
Speaker 1: they work their way down to the red zone. Now
Speaker 1: this team is the top of the league in red zone,
Speaker 1: right top of the league and zone number one red
Speaker 1: zone team in the league. So now all of a
Speaker 1: sudd you're talking about their ability to actually be able
Speaker 1: to convert that drive into actual touchdowns. And now you're
Speaker 1: behind the eight ball. Now your fortune start throwing the ball.
Speaker 1: It's a it's a it's a compounding problem that we
Speaker 1: can't afford a half. I think we're gonna throw the
Speaker 1: ball anyway. Yeah, let us go. We as they're gonna
Speaker 1: When we come back here on talking Cowboys, let's start
Speaker 1: talking about that San Francisco offense. What are the challenges
Speaker 1: that they bring and can Jimmy Garoppolo win football games?
Speaker 1: Big football games? He did so in week eighteen, Can
Speaker 1: he keep that going into the playoffs when we come
Speaker 1: back with more talking cowboys. Yes, there's nothing as unique
Speaker 1: as our eyes, which is why SLOR pioneers wigs to

Speaker 1: segment here of talking cowboys. It is a Wednesday, so
Speaker 1: that means that we are previewing the San Francisco offense
Speaker 1: versus the Dallas defense and Isaiah I'll start with you
Speaker 1: on this one. As you're looking ahead to this matchup,
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo and company. They showed out in the second
Speaker 1: half against the Los Angeles Rams. Actually beat the Rams twice.
Speaker 1: As Chris Bean was telling me in the break, this
Speaker 1: year they swept the Rams. But can they do that
Speaker 1: into the playoffs? Is Jimmy Garoppolo a good enough quarterback
Speaker 1: to continue this momentum? Jimmy Garoppolo is how should I
Speaker 1: say this? Pissing people off? Yeah? Say it with your chest.
Speaker 1: It's playoff time? With your chest? How to say it?
Speaker 1: He's a poor man's Dak Prescott. I feel as if
Speaker 1: Dak needs a running game to playoff of. Now can
Speaker 1: he throw the ball, you know, forty times a game?
Speaker 1: He can. I don't like it when he does. I
Speaker 1: don't think he's as effective as a quarterback, But I
Speaker 1: think that Dak needs an efficient, effective running game to
Speaker 1: be as successful as we you know, to tell him
Speaker 1: to be. Jimmy Garoppolo is very much along those same lines,
Speaker 1: but he's not nearly as effective as a Dak Prescott
Speaker 1: when he has that running game present. Their ability to
Speaker 1: run the ball positions him to be able to throw
Speaker 1: their play action game. That's how they operate. They are
Speaker 1: literally a baby version of Dallas in that regard. They
Speaker 1: want to run the ball or they will how Dallas
Speaker 1: used to be. These are run the ball, play acting
Speaker 1: you to death. These guys are very deliberate about running
Speaker 1: the ball, and then every so often they'll put it
Speaker 1: in Garppolo's hands to try to throw it. He is
Speaker 1: not an accurate passer. He doesn't make good decisions. He
Speaker 1: doesn't read the coverage as well he makes He's just
Speaker 1: not a very good quarterback right now. And if you
Speaker 1: force him to be in that position where he has
Speaker 1: to throw his team into a successful situation, I have
Speaker 1: zero faith that he can do so without making a mistake.
Speaker 1: What they did against the Rams. The Rams were just
Speaker 1: playing very soft coverage. I don't know what the heck
Speaker 1: they were doing. They were playing soft coverage. These guys
Speaker 1: are running routes on air. So the balls that he
Speaker 1: was throwing these guys didn't have to it wasn't contested
Speaker 1: at all. If you step up and you press those guys.
Speaker 1: Brandon Ayuk, I don't know if he can get off
Speaker 1: the ball. I know he can run a route without
Speaker 1: anybody putting their hands on him. He's gonna catch that
Speaker 1: ball in Deebo Samuel. It doesn't matter where you get
Speaker 1: him the ball. He's gonna he's gonna he's five eleven,
Speaker 1: two fifteen. He's gonna run you over. He's gonna be
Speaker 1: hard to tackle, but you better get your arms wrapped
Speaker 1: around him. Garoppolo by himself can't win ball games for them,
Speaker 1: So Dallas has to get up and put him in
Speaker 1: a situation where he now has to drop back and
Speaker 1: throw because he will give you the ball and turn
Speaker 1: the turnovers. I'm trying to think of why you had
Speaker 1: to bring Dak Prescott's name into this, because I mean,
Speaker 1: I think that's if you were to try to say, hey,
Speaker 1: who's Jimmy Garoppolo try to try to mimic his game
Speaker 1: after it, I would say he's, like I said, he's
Speaker 1: a poor man's Dak Dak. He's trying to be trying
Speaker 1: to be No, heck no, would never compare those. There
Speaker 1: are two different categories. But I think how their offenses operate,
Speaker 1: Dallas is effective when they run the ball and run
Speaker 1: play action. We saw it a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 1: That's that is Dallas at its pinnacle, run the ball right.
Speaker 1: One hundred hundred twenty five hundred forty yards rush throw
Speaker 1: the ball off of play action, right, that would do that.
Speaker 1: He'll he'll dice you up all day long with that.
Speaker 1: Garoppolo is the same way, right. I don't like either
Speaker 1: one of them dropping back right if they're if they're
Speaker 1: on my team, I don't want d dropping back forty times.
Speaker 1: I definitely if I was San Francisco, so I definite
Speaker 1: wouldn'tant Garpolo drop boat. I don't want him drop back
Speaker 1: twenty times a game, right, because majority of those passes
Speaker 1: are gonna be tip balls behind them, bad locations, opportunities
Speaker 1: for interception. So I say it in that likelihood that's
Speaker 1: substantially better, not making that comparison, just saying that their
Speaker 1: offenses mimic each other in that regard. Old Dallas, not
Speaker 1: this Dallas. This is killing Moore. I want to throw
Speaker 1: the ball Dallas, but the old Dallas where we're coming
Speaker 1: downhill as you stop us, and when you decided to
Speaker 1: try to stop us, now we're gonna throw it behind you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: everything about this week, I'm really fascinated by Shanahan's offense.
Speaker 1: I love how the national media talking about how physical
Speaker 1: they are, and it's just physical versus finesse and all
Speaker 1: of that and so and getting prepared for today, and
Speaker 1: I had to go back over tape to see had
Speaker 1: we faced this kind of team before. And the only
Speaker 1: team that I could think of was the Minnesota Vikings. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and reason being with Dalvin Cook and the way that
Speaker 1: he lines up, the way that they get you going
Speaker 1: with play action and the other playmakers that they have.
Speaker 1: This is that team, right if they get you on
Speaker 1: skates and they and those boots and play action, it's
Speaker 1: all open over the top, and they have the playmakers
Speaker 1: that can do a Deebo. Samuel is the biggest star
Speaker 1: that they have. Let's just make it plain, all right.
Speaker 1: And for our defense, and we talked about the struggles
Speaker 1: that they've had and getting tackles. This ain't the game
Speaker 1: to show you gotta get guys on the ground. And
Speaker 1: I have to be honest with you, guys. One of
Speaker 1: my favorite players in the NFL, but one of he's tops.
Speaker 1: It's George Kittle, and the reason why is he is
Speaker 1: a devastating blocker. He does so many things for the
Speaker 1: forty nine ers that people don't, you know, say, look
Speaker 1: that was all caused by what number eighty five did.
Speaker 1: And so I think for us, the meeting them where
Speaker 1: they are is going to be very important in this game.
Speaker 1: This can't be one where you start slow. This is
Speaker 1: one where and man, I wish I would ask Nati
Speaker 1: just walk by. But their zone blocking scheme. I just
Speaker 1: wish more teams incorporated the zone blocking scheme because I think, look, athletically,
Speaker 1: offensive linement has been known to be the best athletes
Speaker 1: on your team. But I think the easiest thing for
Speaker 1: them to do is get out in space, get to
Speaker 1: the next level and cut guys off. Man, if you
Speaker 1: turn on the tape at the forty nine is they
Speaker 1: are at the second level. They are mowing people down.
Speaker 1: That physicality that they bring to the table has to
Speaker 1: be met, and I think I believe that Dallas's defense
Speaker 1: is going to match it. Not only that, and Trumpet
Speaker 1: because of what you just explained, Jimmy, if you put
Speaker 1: the ball game and make them one demension and put
Speaker 1: the ball game in Jimmy Garoppolo's hands, that's where that's
Speaker 1: where we make Hay. Because you go back to the
Speaker 1: Bikings game, what do we do We have cooked to
Speaker 1: seventy eight yards. We also hailed feeling to seventy eight
Speaker 1: yards and we did not allow the playmakers to get
Speaker 1: off versus. This is the same scheme for this game.
Speaker 1: It is a special scheme and it's kind of cool
Speaker 1: because he has taken what his dad did with the
Speaker 1: Broncos and applied it to this with some more wrinkles
Speaker 1: to it and different different rushers, receivers, running guys in motion,
Speaker 1: the fullback in motion, across the formation, all those things.
Speaker 1: It is really cool. You go back to when they
Speaker 1: went to the Super Bowl a couple of years ago,
Speaker 1: Garoppolo threw the ball eight times against the Packers and
Speaker 1: they rushed for two hundred and eighty five yards. And
Speaker 1: to y'all's point, like in the Rams game, I watched
Speaker 1: it back and there's five minutes left in the second
Speaker 1: half and they're down seventeen nothing, and they have four
Speaker 1: passing yards and they're still running the ball. They're still
Speaker 1: trying to get their identity going. So they're going to
Speaker 1: try to stick to that as long as they possibly can.
Speaker 1: A big lead would prevent that, obviously, but they're gonna
Speaker 1: try to stick to that. I do think it. I
Speaker 1: don't think it's finesse versus physical. I think it's physical
Speaker 1: versus physical. I think the Cowboys, especially defensively, have been
Speaker 1: a physical defense all year long. The one exception this
Speaker 1: year to me was Denver. Denver punched them in the mouth, admittedly,
Speaker 1: and they didn't respond to it. So and Denver wanted
Speaker 1: to run the football and do all those things, but
Speaker 1: play action. That was a great lesson. I think for
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, they can't allow San Francisco to be more
Speaker 1: physical than them over sixty minutes on Sunday's game. What
Speaker 1: aspect of Dallas's defense would you guys challenge to step
Speaker 1: their game up in this week? Linebacker? Thank you? I
Speaker 1: was thinking linebacker as well. Yeah, linebacker, but I think
Speaker 1: we touched on this in the week too. Up front
Speaker 1: and Neville Gallimore and those guys don't allow the problems
Speaker 1: they had last year where you're letting linebackers just get
Speaker 1: swallowed up on the second level like you just reference
Speaker 1: guys just on them so quickly. They can't. You can't
Speaker 1: allow that to happen, and I'm not sure that they
Speaker 1: can prevent that in this particular game. Reason being the
Speaker 1: blocking scheme. The blocking scheme and who pleased you guys
Speaker 1: turn in to tune into her pregame live show. We're
Speaker 1: gonna be out there at the stadium at two o'clock.
Speaker 1: I think I found I found a little Pandora's box.
Speaker 1: And then there's little indicators. They they have some indicators,
Speaker 1: some things at you, and that's what you do at
Speaker 1: this time. The other side, I don't share. I'm not Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, I pick apart film. That's what I do
Speaker 1: and at this time of the year, honestly, you know,
Speaker 1: one of the things the gifts that I was blessed
Speaker 1: with was was being on a lot of playoff teams
Speaker 1: out about six years. I was on four playoff teams,
Speaker 1: obviously one Super Bowl run, but I played with some
Speaker 1: of the greatest players ever. And I sat there and
Speaker 1: had an opportunity to watch how they study and how
Speaker 1: Tom Tom Brady looks for the slightest details, how Moss
Speaker 1: and all these guys are looking for the slightest details
Speaker 1: and the little things that can give you the advantage.
Speaker 1: And I found a couple of things on film as
Speaker 1: far as their running game. But to your point, Robie,
Speaker 1: the defensive line has to get vertical. But they want
Speaker 1: you to get vertical. They let they let the defensive
Speaker 1: linemen in certain aspects of their running game get up
Speaker 1: field because those motions that you're talking about, those fullbacks
Speaker 1: and those tight ends coming across the formation, they want
Speaker 1: those linemen to come through so that those guys can
Speaker 1: win and block them. They want to crack back them.
Speaker 1: So they want Heckman to come through and feel like,
Speaker 1: oh crap, I'm through here, I got I got a chance.
Speaker 1: And then somebody's gonna ear hold them. And then guess
Speaker 1: what then the next one. Now you got George Kittle
Speaker 1: come in. What's he gonna do? He's ear holding the
Speaker 1: next guy. So now you got the lineman on the
Speaker 1: left side or whatever they say, they're running to the right.
Speaker 1: You got two guys going wham blocking, clearing guys out,
Speaker 1: and you have linemen pulling back up inside. Now they're
Speaker 1: running clear up to the second level free. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: unimpeded physicality that Rob was talking about, the physicality versus physicality.
Speaker 1: So that's when I'm saying the linebackers are gonna be
Speaker 1: very Their role is so instrumental in this particular game. Yes,
Speaker 1: and the lineman and all the stuff we talk about,
Speaker 1: but this running scheme honestly takes a lot of those
Speaker 1: front line guys out of the ball game. I hate
Speaker 1: to say that it takes a lot of those guys
Speaker 1: out of the ball game because how they want to
Speaker 1: run the ball. The second level guys are gonna be
Speaker 1: what stops this is forty Night's offense from being able
Speaker 1: to be efficient on the run game. Well, what I
Speaker 1: don't want to see is, you know, our free safety
Speaker 1: coming up, and that isolation with Debo and our free safety.
Speaker 1: You want to get to him early. But I think
Speaker 1: the great neutralizer of this is Michael Parsons. Ye, seriously,
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons is a great neutralizer. And I think the
Speaker 1: way that dan Quinn, hopefully the way that dan Quinn
Speaker 1: uses him is allowing him in those later downs to
Speaker 1: rush at the end. But I think for Kyle Shanahan,
Speaker 1: and he understands our defensive line scheme, that the best
Speaker 1: way to nullify what we do best, which is pass rush,
Speaker 1: is to run right at us. And so that's why
Speaker 1: I thought I said yesterday, I think that that Tank
Speaker 1: Lawrence's effect on this game is going to be really
Speaker 1: big because that's what he does better than anyone. And
Speaker 1: you're right, they will allow you to get up the
Speaker 1: field because look when they have those bootlegs or what
Speaker 1: they're trying to fool you. They're coming and across they
Speaker 1: here holding you is the best example of that, because
Speaker 1: they want to try and catch you underneath or at
Speaker 1: least ca't you sleeping on their motion. They're gonna hit
Speaker 1: us with a lot of that. And they run motion
Speaker 1: and they run. They look playing a lot of misdirection.
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying, like they have formations that they
Speaker 1: run six players out of that one formation, So I
Speaker 1: don't know what these guys are playing over that. That's
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. If you found Pandora's box, you may
Speaker 1: take it out, all right. I definitely found some many cares.
Speaker 1: But these guys, they run a lot of misdirection, a
Speaker 1: lot of misdirections. So not only does the second level
Speaker 1: have to be very physical and you when you come down,
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm talking about even the third of a curse.
Speaker 1: Those guys working the way down curse Neil. I'm challenging Vanderesh,
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons. I want Michael Parsons to show up and
Speaker 1: be Michael Parsons. I need Vanderesh to play outside of himself.
Speaker 1: I need I need I need vander Esh to play
Speaker 1: outside himself. I need him to be the most physical,
Speaker 1: brutalizing linebacker that we've seen in Dallas Nation in a
Speaker 1: long time. That's a lot. It's a tall task ask
Speaker 1: as a hell of a tall task ask. There's some
Speaker 1: really good linebackers here, but that's what Dallas Nation needs
Speaker 1: in this particular game because if you don't take the
Speaker 1: fight to these guys, they will wear your tail out.
Speaker 1: And maybe that rotation of vander Esh and Neil at
Speaker 1: the same time. Neil, you say that about Vanderess, I
Speaker 1: say the same thing about Kean O'Neill. I think he's
Speaker 1: gonna have to be aggressive as well at the line
Speaker 1: of scrimmage and getting guys down, no question, no question.
Speaker 1: And he's supposed to be back and working in this week.
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy said that Monday, right. Yeah, sounds like he
Speaker 1: would do something today in practice and build towards Sunday.
Speaker 1: That's the hope and expectation. That's a positive as well,
Speaker 1: because they're gonna need him on the back end of
Speaker 1: that defense. Now, big playability from the forty nine ers,
Speaker 1: it's certainly there. The stats show it. I'll tell you
Speaker 1: those stats and how did the cowboys slow it down?

Speaker 1: Hero of Talking Cowboys heck Ma Harrison, Isaiah stand Back, Phillips,
Speaker 1: Chris being Kyle, you alms. I agree. I feel like
Speaker 1: we could talk about this for two hours. So I'm excited.
Speaker 1: I'm really excited because I mean, a lot of people
Speaker 1: call me a lot of people. I don't know why.
Speaker 1: You know, I called it how it is, and you know,
Speaker 1: because I don't necessarily play one side of other people
Speaker 1: call me cowboys hater. But I feel good. I don't
Speaker 1: know I gonna be a Cowboys Hey A Cowboys drafted
Speaker 1: me and it makes zero sense, but I feel really
Speaker 1: good about their chances. I'm one of the people that
Speaker 1: call you the Cowboys. I don't know, Okay, I love
Speaker 1: the Cowboys more I love anybody. They gave me the opportunity,
Speaker 1: and I feel really good. Now every game is gonna
Speaker 1: have this caveats and you better bring your a game,
Speaker 1: obviously in every single playoff game. But I feel really
Speaker 1: good about them having moved up to number three. I
Speaker 1: feel good about the path that that places them on
Speaker 1: and their ability to work their way through these games. Obviously,
Speaker 1: you start and you don't look past San Francisco, but
Speaker 1: I feel really freaking good about Dallas's chances if they
Speaker 1: show up and play Dallas. I play how Dallas can play. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: I think all of the teams that made the tournament,
Speaker 1: I was excited to see whomever came to a T
Speaker 1: and T stadium, especially when I you know, obviously we
Speaker 1: have a whole home game. I think the one team
Speaker 1: that I was saying, like this is for a first
Speaker 1: round matchup, which would be a dog you're gonna be
Speaker 1: putting being gay on them shoulders all week is San France.
Speaker 1: Because of the way that they run the ball. We
Speaker 1: got to look that you We've outlined, we talked about it,
Speaker 1: how physical this game is going to be. But I
Speaker 1: think some of the things that fall in our favor
Speaker 1: or not what people are talking about. See that's yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a great point. Like Nate the Great Nate Newton
Speaker 1: just came by in the break and asks us one
Speaker 1: to zero to five, what's your concern level? Five being
Speaker 1: your greatest concern level? His is that a zero? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Mine's higher than that. But that doesn't mean I don't
Speaker 1: think the Cowboys can win. I've talked about how deep
Speaker 1: this playoff field is, like except for maybe Philly, any
Speaker 1: matchup they would have had, I would have been like, man, yep,
Speaker 1: this kind of concerns me. This kind of concerned it's
Speaker 1: supposed to it's the playoffs. But then you also have
Speaker 1: to think about on the flip side, what is Kyle Shanahan.
Speaker 1: What are they talking about? Like, how the hell are
Speaker 1: we going to deal with this and this and this?
Speaker 1: For the Cowboys, you have to remember the other side too.
Speaker 1: So it is gonna be a really good match slept
Speaker 1: in two days. Well, if I'm inspired, just being honest,
Speaker 1: If I'm called Shanahan and with the type of the
Speaker 1: style of offense at the San Francisco forty nine ers, half,
Speaker 1: I am in spite, I'm hype, I am, I am excited.
Speaker 1: I'm I am elated that we're playing against the Dallas
Speaker 1: Cowboys because they have not proven that they can stop
Speaker 1: anybody for running the ball effectively. Yeah. Yeah, that's that's
Speaker 1: that's just fact. That's called how it is. So having
Speaker 1: spurts like Hack mentioned Dalvin Cook Minnesota, that was a
Speaker 1: good one, But there have been games where they have
Speaker 1: not you know, I think even might have been the
Speaker 1: first team that really ran out of them and had success.
Speaker 1: This pass game, yeah, this pass game was not reassuring
Speaker 1: in terms of the Billy stopped do you know, stop
Speaker 1: the run? And now you're on the on the heels
Speaker 1: of playing the team who was very deliberate and how
Speaker 1: they run the ball. So I'm just speaking from their perspective.
Speaker 1: I would be excited if I was them. We run
Speaker 1: the ball, this is what we do. They haven't shown
Speaker 1: that they can shut down a run. I love that matchup.
Speaker 1: Now on the flip side, right, Kelly Moore, these dudes
Speaker 1: don't have enough dbs to stop even half of what
Speaker 1: we have out here. We're gonna throw this ball all
Speaker 1: over the dog on place. So you're gonna have where
Speaker 1: you feel you have the advantage. And that's the that's
Speaker 1: the beauty of the playoffs. Every team does something really
Speaker 1: well and then when you meet those teams, it's all
Speaker 1: about who does it the best. And I think that's
Speaker 1: where dan Quinn's magic comes in to play. How is
Speaker 1: he gonna scheme this up? What type of coverage up
Speaker 1: we're gonna play on the back end? You know, damn well,
Speaker 1: you can't come out here and play three the whole game.
Speaker 1: And you're gonna have to man these guys up. You're
Speaker 1: gonna you're gonna have to do a lot of things
Speaker 1: because look, Deebo Samuels, as much as we talk about
Speaker 1: him as a running back, dude, he's a receiver. Yep.
Speaker 1: He is an exquisite route runner. And what our dbs
Speaker 1: do like, Look, let's just go back and just keep
Speaker 1: it real. Diggs is let's say a man to man matchup.
Speaker 1: I take that all day. A Uknn Brown, I take
Speaker 1: that all day. Their third receiver on Lewis, I take
Speaker 1: that all day. So I mean, look, we check the
Speaker 1: boxes like there are other places like with Kyle used
Speaker 1: checking things like that, they use him out of the backfield.
Speaker 1: I think that we have the linebackers that can cover
Speaker 1: their All we're talking about literally is the physicality when
Speaker 1: they line up that first series, second series, because you,
Speaker 1: like you just said, even when they're down, they still
Speaker 1: commit to the run. They won't stop, they won't stop.
Speaker 1: And that's why for us offensively, and we're gonna talk
Speaker 1: about this tomorrow. And that's where the roper meets to
Speaker 1: roll r. That's where it's gonna be fun. That's where
Speaker 1: it's said because I'm telling you, we're gonna air them out.
Speaker 1: And when they get down by thirty five something like
Speaker 1: that and half, it's a baby. They are the Tennessee
Speaker 1: Titans of the NFC because of how they run them
Speaker 1: Yeah stubbornly, yeah, all the way through. But they could
Speaker 1: hit the big play too. They can. They could absolutely
Speaker 1: hit the big play. And kind of going into this,
Speaker 1: listen to this. Forty nine ers led the NFL and
Speaker 1: yards per play led the NFL. They're not just middle
Speaker 1: of the road, top ten, number one in the NFL
Speaker 1: in terms of yards per play and red zone percentage
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one. They had sixty three completions of
Speaker 1: over twenty yards this season. That's fourth most in the NFL.
Speaker 1: They can push the ball down the field. It's not
Speaker 1: just exactly thank you, exactly thank you. It's off of
Speaker 1: the play action. It's because of how stubbornly they run
Speaker 1: the football, and it opened things up for Jimmy Garoppolo.
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo one of just three quarterbacks to average over
Speaker 1: eight yards per passing. It's him in twenty twenty one,
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow Matthew Stafford with the other two, and those
Speaker 1: are known as two of the best deep ball throwers
Speaker 1: in the game right now, and Jimmy Garoppolo's in that category.
Speaker 1: Bull prediction. If we forced Jimmy Garppolo throw over thirty times,
Speaker 1: he'll have three picks. That's another thing. I'm a problem. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's playing through a limit ligament, right and he really
Speaker 1: looked like it in the game. Hell no, and I
Speaker 1: questioned it big time, But but I know that Shanahan's
Speaker 1: leash Garoppolo is like shot long right there. He's got
Speaker 1: a pit bull leash on him. You know, It's like, seriously,
Speaker 1: you cannot let him kill you. And that's why you
Speaker 1: saw that in the game. They're like, look what we're
Speaker 1: not gonna do even though we're down seventeen to Zero's
Speaker 1: put this in your hands. He is a he's a
Speaker 1: bus driver, you know. And when it comes down to
Speaker 1: quarterbacks that we faced so far, if this was Mike
Speaker 1: Tyson punch out, this is glass jaal Joe. All right.
Speaker 1: If you can't get by him, now you're gonna have problems.
Speaker 1: Did I just glass y'all Joe. They didn't even get
Speaker 1: him skin. They just made him a digital green Man
Speaker 1: a game game. I all don't know about it, No,
Speaker 1: I know, okay, but this is gonna be a it's
Speaker 1: gonna be one of those rockham sock'em types of games.
Speaker 1: And we just, like I said, it's gonna be big big.
Speaker 1: It's not King Hippo or I'm looking up. You know.
Speaker 1: The only thing that worries me about that is the
Speaker 1: final drive and what he was able to do to
Speaker 1: drive down the field and kind of convert there because
Speaker 1: got it in him. But you just can't allow that
Speaker 1: to come out. But I mean said the Rams were
Speaker 1: playing Cover four and they were playing soft Cover three. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so if, yes, if you let Brandon Ayuk and you
Speaker 1: let Deebo Samuel get off the ball without anybody putting
Speaker 1: their hands on him. Yeah, freaking run twelve fourteen yeard
Speaker 1: rounds all day long. Yeah, And that's what they were
Speaker 1: asking them to do, and the times that they were contested.
Speaker 1: Guess what Jimmy Grappolo was throwing a ball into coverage
Speaker 1: of three people like he'll do and often. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: had two picks and there's a play where he almost
Speaker 1: had to pick back to back plays, right, So like
Speaker 1: he really shouldn't have like four or five picks in
Speaker 1: that game. That Janelen Ramsey pick was next. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: if you go back and watch the play, he threw
Speaker 1: it into triple coverage. Yeah, no, there were three. It
Speaker 1: was an amazing, amazing play. But he threw it into
Speaker 1: triple coverage. And and and we'll obviously you guys check
Speaker 1: out film room this week, we'll we'll break that one.
Speaker 1: That's one of the plays we'll break down that was
Speaker 1: terrible read terrible. He predecided where he was going with
Speaker 1: the ball and if had he just read the coverage,
