But Rob, there's a lot 0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:56.520 of work to do before you take on the Seattle 0:01:56.520 --> 0:02:00.400 Seahawks coming up this Sunday, y'all had I had a 0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:03.200 fan hit while y'all were talking, and I missed everything. 0:02:03.240 --> 0:02:05.840 Y'all are still laughing, like, let let the listener in. 0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:09.640 What are we talking about here? So we were we 0:02:09.639 --> 0:02:12.320 were waiting on you. We had of course every Tuesday, 0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:15.280 Rob's on the fan, and this is why I was 0:02:15.320 --> 0:02:18.560 just flustered to start the show first off. But I 0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:20.680 think we need to peel the curtain back. Yeah, let's 0:02:20.680 --> 0:02:23.679 peel the curtain back. So we're talking to Isaiah and 0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:27.720 we're talking about how he's he's from Washington, right, I mean, 0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:30.480 this is a guy who played for the University of 0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:33.400 Washington Huskies for life. He were the were the Purple 0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:36.840 and Gold with pride. But he also has some allegiance 0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:39.840 to the Seattle Seahawks as well. As we're leading into 0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:42.400 that week. Now, he's a Cowboys fan too, don't get 0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:45.120 them wrong, but Seattle's home and that's what he was 0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:47.200 kind of talking about. And we started giving him a 0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:51.240 little flak. Heckmun I talking about how there's a little 0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:54.240 bit of there's more of the cheer for the check 0:02:54.320 --> 0:02:57.480 mentality right now. I mean, look what we're We're talking Cowboys, 0:02:57.480 --> 0:03:00.359 We're not talking Seahawks. And so we start to give 0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:03.080 in Isaiah a little flat here, and of course heading 0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:06.720 into the week, and he wanted to remind us that 0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:10.359 you can get checks other ways too, and one of 0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:12.959 the ways that he does it is on Cameo, the 0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:15.200 the app that you have on your phone where you 0:03:15.240 --> 0:03:26.040 can record special messages via a paycheck for certain check 0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:30.840 for for a whopping twenty five ninety nine, you can 0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:34.880 get Isaiah to personalize a message for you or your 0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:38.160 family member or your friend and you can basically tell 0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:40.840 him what to say, and we pulled one up right before. 0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:45.320 What can I say? What? What was that? I'm a 0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:50.360 cheap date? You know, you know I'm easy. I said, 0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:52.840 you give him to me ninety nine. I got you. 0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:55.600 Hey man, every every little bit helps, right, I mean 0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:57.800 why not? You know what, I've only seen that one 0:03:57.840 --> 0:03:59.960 time and I can't remember the name of the celebrity, 0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:03.400 but it was basically he was taking money to to 0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:07.800 break up with somebody's girlfriend on the website. So I 0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:10.680 don't know you go that far or not. That's not true. 0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:15.600 After today's show, maybe I'm sure. I'm qui. I just 0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:17.880 started on there, so hey, we're gonna find out what happens, 0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:21.120 oh man. But yeah, I mean we were. We were 0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:24.159 we were cackling at the fact of of Isaiah being 0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:27.440 on cameo and he was talking about cankles on one 0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:33.120 of his his preview videos as it's hilarious. We're not 0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:35.560 we're not trying to plug it so that Isaiah gets paid. 0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:38.919 We're just plugging it getting funny, and we're not gonna 0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:40.840 we're not gonna talk about how he gets these other checks. 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:42.360 We ain't gonna talk about that let's going to go 0:04:42.440 --> 0:04:44.720 to the next Yeah, we can't, can't mention that one 0:04:44.760 --> 0:04:47.320 on air, but glad you are. You guys are all 0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:49.960 having fun with us here on this Tuesday. But uh, 0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:52.839 but yeah, let's get into this this matchup, Rob or 0:04:52.880 --> 0:04:55.040 I guess the week ahead. I mean, there's a lot 0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:58.160 of injury issues when it comes to the Dallas Cowboys 0:04:58.160 --> 0:05:01.160 and it comes to Tyrne Smith in the tackle position. 0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:04.599 I've heard from around the Star that they expect him 0:05:04.640 --> 0:05:06.800 to be ready to go. I've heard good news when 0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:08.880 it comes to Tyrant Smith dealing with a couple of stingers. 0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:11.400 Mike McCarthy talked about it a little bit, and then 0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:13.800 also Jerry Jones today on the Fan before Rob got 0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:16.680 on the Fan mentioned about Tyrn Smith and dealing with 0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:19.680 some of those stingers. But really, Rob, whenever it comes 0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:23.240 to injuries right now, the entire NFL is dealing with it. 0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:25.719 We thought the Cowboys had the wrong end of the 0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:29.000 shift in the first week. We two kind of flipped 0:05:29.000 --> 0:05:30.920 that script. But what are you hearing in terms of 0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:36.280 some of these different nagging things. It's crazy, right, you know. 0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:40.360 I think in twenty eleven, coming off the lockout, injuries 0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:42.680 went way up across the league, and I don't, you know, 0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:45.159 we'll see, but right now it seems like, you know, 0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:48.520 with no offseason, maybe there's a parallel there, and across 0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:50.839 the league teams are dealing with it. For the Cowboys, 0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:54.800 you mentioned Tyrn Smith, and what Jerry said is what 0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:57.160 I've heard too. You know that they thought maybe he 0:05:57.200 --> 0:05:59.600 could play in Week two, and there was some optimism there, 0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:02.760 but they ltimately decided, hey, let's give him another week 0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:05.960 because with it you mentioned the stingers, man, that can 0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:07.800 be a nagging thing. It can crop back up and 0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:10.360 can bother you all year long. You know, that's what 0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:12.800 Lady vander esh was doing with last year, and ultimately 0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:15.240 they shut him down, not saying it's the same injury, 0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:18.760 but they want to be real careful there. So I 0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:21.560 don't think he's guaranteed to play in Week three, but 0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:24.080 I think there's definitely optimism and see how he does 0:06:24.440 --> 0:06:26.600 throughout the week, and boy, that would you know. While 0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:28.800 while Brandon Knight I thought did a nice job. We 0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:31.520 talked about that yesterday. It's sure it would be nice 0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:34.279 to get things kind of settled down for you upfront 0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:36.240 and try to get some of your continuity back. So 0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:40.760 we'll see about their DeMarcus Lawrence. We mentioned yesterday, I believe, 0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:43.160 and Mike McCarthy kind of spoke to it. Banged up 0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:44.880 his knee in the game. It doesn't sound like they're 0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:47.279 too concerned about at least Jerry didn't indicate that on 0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:49.800 the fan just now. But that's something to watch this 0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:52.240 week as well. They just they've got to try to 0:06:52.240 --> 0:06:54.640 get healthy upfront, both sides of the ball. I mean, 0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:57.360 that's where they you know, they've had some trouble and 0:06:57.520 --> 0:06:59.840 have tried to kind of do things to counteract it, 0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:03.360 but they need some contuity. They're both sides. Yeah, and 0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:06.880 I'm sorry now that's gonna double. Just just gets everybody's 0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:08.880 some a little bit of information, a little insight for 0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:11.120 those that don't know what a stinger is, okay, and 0:07:11.160 --> 0:07:13.400 everybody that might be trying to say, Tyronne or you're 0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:14.880 being soft, you know what I'm saying, get out there, 0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:17.200 listen up. If you guys have never had a stinger before, 0:07:17.200 --> 0:07:19.760 A stinger is essentially when you're you have a pinched nerve, right, 0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:21.679 so your body is trying to communicate to your different 0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:24.400 body parts right via your nervous system. When that nerve 0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:27.640 gets pinched, you get a shooting pain wherever that's at. Right, So, 0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:29.520 for instance, I've had one in the neck. It shoots 0:07:29.560 --> 0:07:33.880 down and it literally shuts off all functionality of that limb. Right, 0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:36.440 you have no function of that limb whatsoever. It is 0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:39.880 painful initially, is very painful initially, and then your body 0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:42.239 literally your brain cannot communicate with that side of your body. 0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:44.120 So for those of you that's saying all he can 0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:46.280 get out there and play, No he can't. And that's 0:07:46.360 --> 0:07:48.640 that stinger can pop back up at any moment. It 0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:51.200 just takes the right type of hit well. And it's 0:07:51.200 --> 0:07:54.200 also something complaining about the injury bug. It's hard to 0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:56.480 complain about the injury bug affecting us when you look 0:07:56.520 --> 0:08:02.360 around the NFL and show that those acls man a 0:08:02.480 --> 0:08:04.960 dime a dozen. Right now, it just seems like everyone 0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:07.880 is going down to that injury. But with the news 0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:12.480 about Tyren Smith and just looking from the past till now, 0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:16.040 I think that we all have just pretty much come 0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:18.200 to the fact that we know that Tyren Smith may 0:08:18.280 --> 0:08:20.840 miss a few games throughout the season, but we need 0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:23.680 to get him in the rhythm of this office. Having 0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:26.720 him miss last week and we pulled out the victory, 0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:29.720 thank god for that. But you're right, Brandon Knight did 0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:33.520 play really well in his absence, But this week is 0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:37.079 a whole nother story, and we absolutely need to have 0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:40.800 our stud left tackle well. And it's also that stinger 0:08:40.800 --> 0:08:42.880 and that neck issue is something rob that I know 0:08:43.040 --> 0:08:46.040 that Tyren Smith's kind of dealt with for quite some time. 0:08:46.080 --> 0:08:47.880 I mean, this is something that you mentioned it could 0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:50.400 be lagging from week to week, but the fact that 0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:53.040 it's also kind of hindered him throughout his career. And 0:08:53.320 --> 0:08:55.840 Heckmagreat makes a great point. This is a Cowboys team 0:08:55.840 --> 0:08:58.080 that's used to playing without Tyron Smith because over the 0:08:58.120 --> 0:09:00.880 last four years he's missed at least three games. He's 0:09:00.880 --> 0:09:03.920 played in thirteen games the last four years, and he's 0:09:03.920 --> 0:09:05.880 already missed one this year. Hopefully they get him back 0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:08.439 this week because you definitely need him up against a 0:09:08.720 --> 0:09:11.559 stout Seattle defense. I think the defensive line for Seattle 0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:14.680 leaves much to be desired, but that secondary is good 0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:18.679 enough to force some issues as well. But whenever, when 0:09:18.720 --> 0:09:22.280 you look at the defensive sign of the football, Anthony Brown, 0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:24.120 he's on IR for a little bit due to that 0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:27.640 rib injury. Cornerback seems a little bit thin here. Jordan 0:09:27.760 --> 0:09:30.840 Lewis had an okay game. I'm not going to necessarily 0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:32.440 give him a ton of credit because I thought he 0:09:32.559 --> 0:09:35.280 was beat on occasion. But whenever you look at this 0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:39.440 cornerbank group in the Cowboys secondary, specifically Isaiah, is there 0:09:39.440 --> 0:09:42.120 anything that kind of worries you heading into a week 0:09:42.160 --> 0:09:45.000 like Seattle where there are some pretty stout wide receivers. 0:09:51.040 --> 0:10:03.400 Isaiah gotcha. Yeah, no, so I think we have lost 0:10:03.480 --> 0:10:06.040 the audio from Isaiah, so Heckman, we'll go to you 0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:08.840 on that question. Is there anything secondary wise that you're 0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:15.280 that you're potentially looking at to move forward? Yeah, you know, 0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:17.960 I think a lot has been We've we talked a 0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:21.480 lot about the dvs the secondary and just knowing coming 0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:24.120 into the season that that was going to be a 0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:28.240 group that we were looking to get better. We wanted 0:10:28.280 --> 0:10:30.679 more out of them. We definitely needed more ballhawks and 0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:32.760 we wanted to turn overs. We got that in the 0:10:32.800 --> 0:10:35.560 first week. From a woozier second week, man, it just 0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:38.000 felt like we took a little bit of a step back, 0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:41.000 but that I think that's credit to the Atlanta receivers 0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:44.880 with Jones and brittley engage. Uh, I just I just 0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:47.800 look for Jordan Lewis to take another step. You know, 0:10:47.840 --> 0:10:50.400 the higher ankle sprain may have been something that was 0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:53.080 limited him. He still didn't look like he was full 0:10:53.120 --> 0:10:57.280 fleshed back to himself. So hopefully another week of preparation, 0:10:58.160 --> 0:11:01.760 because of another week of which preparation will make him 0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:04.880 better for this week because God knows. Man, Uh, last 0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:10.240 week button his best showing at all. Yeah, Rob, I 0:11:10.280 --> 0:11:15.120 can hear We've got you. Now we don't, we do 0:11:15.200 --> 0:11:21.320 not have him. Let's go back to Rob here. Oh well, man, 0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:26.439 I want to hear us. I know I'm ready for Isaiah. Yeah, 0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:28.800 we got you know you mentioned Anthony Brown. You got 0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:31.840 Cheeto who got banged up I think a hamstring trying 0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:34.280 to block a punt on Sunday in the fourth quarters. 0:11:34.280 --> 0:11:35.720 So you'll see. You got to see how he is 0:11:35.760 --> 0:11:39.160 this week. Um, just every level of their defense has 0:11:39.200 --> 0:11:43.760 got somebody banged up. And so you know you're hopeful that, 0:11:44.000 --> 0:11:46.760 like I mentioned, tank and get get back and be 0:11:46.880 --> 0:11:50.120 and be right. And to me, it starts there and 0:11:50.360 --> 0:11:53.400 I watched because I think that impacts what your secondary 0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:55.280 is doing. I thought when we talked about it, yesterday 0:11:55.360 --> 0:11:58.360 how Matt Ryan just seemed to have too much time 0:11:59.200 --> 0:12:02.720 overall in a game setting his feet and surveying the field. 0:12:03.080 --> 0:12:06.240 And Mike Nolan spoke to it yesterday. They've got to 0:12:06.240 --> 0:12:10.880 be better, not just individually rushing, but better collectively. And 0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:14.079 I don't know if that's talked about enough. With what 0:12:14.160 --> 0:12:16.960 you have to do upfront as a defensive line together, 0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:20.520 you know, we talk about offensive line continuity, defensive line 0:12:20.600 --> 0:12:23.440 running games, stunts, all those things, trying to free other 0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:26.400 guys up to get home on a rush. That's something 0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:30.319 they're still trying to work through five weeks after camp started. 0:12:30.400 --> 0:12:32.480 And I think that's probably normal with the new scheme, 0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:36.480 but they're just they're just not there yet. So you know, 0:12:36.520 --> 0:12:37.959 I went back and I watched it, and I thought, 0:12:38.080 --> 0:12:39.960 especially late in the game, they did a better job 0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:43.280 of forcing Ryan to throw the ball away and getting 0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:45.880 out of drives and so there are good things to 0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:49.079 build on. But that's going to help your secondary more 0:12:49.080 --> 0:12:51.800 than anything. Help Trayvon Digs more than anything as a 0:12:51.880 --> 0:12:55.040 young cornerback going up against you know what is another 0:12:55.240 --> 0:13:00.120 talented Seattle receiving corps. They're really good, Yeah, ktcalm those 0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:02.920 coverage who had a few of those cover sacks and 0:13:02.960 --> 0:13:05.880 it just seems like we had him and Ryan just 0:13:05.960 --> 0:13:08.280 got out of the pocket and tried to run for 0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:10.319 a first down. You know, that second half, it's a 0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:13.199 tailor two halves. Obviously we had the worst first quarter 0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:16.200 in football, but that second half, I think it said 0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:19.000 a lot about this defense. And also with Mike Nolan 0:13:19.080 --> 0:13:22.640 said yesterday and his presser was basically about Treyvon Digs 0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:25.480 and him winning those one on one matchups and talk 0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:27.920 about how long he is and how aggressive he is, 0:13:28.040 --> 0:13:30.880 and just saying that he's someone that's always touching the 0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:34.240 ball and he looks for those opportunities that he's missed 0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:37.679 in the game because we've he's been this close to 0:13:37.960 --> 0:13:43.079 two to two interceptions. He's getting close to one this week. Man, 0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:45.240 I just looked for that rookie to take that next 0:13:45.280 --> 0:13:48.240 step and be as dumbinant as he's been looking in 0:13:48.360 --> 0:13:50.920 past coverage. Yeah, and what I saw kind of this 0:13:50.960 --> 0:13:53.040 week from from Treyvon Diggs was a lot of what 0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:56.240 I saw on the college tape in Alabama, as well 0:13:56.240 --> 0:13:59.560 as the fact that he's a step behind and he 0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:02.920 allowed his athleticism to make up that gap and he 0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:05.679 has that athleticism and that length to be able to 0:14:05.720 --> 0:14:07.480 make up that gap. I mean the throw that he 0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:10.280 almost intercepted, Heckma, the one that you're alluding to. That 0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:13.160 was an awful throw for Matt Ryan. It was underthrown 0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:15.800 by about five yards. Treyvon Diggs was beat by at 0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:18.920 least two steps there, and the fact that Matt Ryan 0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:21.560 underthrew that ball helped treyvon Diggs almost come up with 0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:23.760 an interception one that I think was kind of a 0:14:23.840 --> 0:14:25.800 oh look at what I found type of thing where 0:14:25.840 --> 0:14:28.040 he was a little surprised, and the fact that the 0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:31.560 ball was hitting him in the hands exactly. But that's 0:14:31.600 --> 0:14:33.880 the thing with Treyvon Diggs that you have to get 0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:35.920 him up to speed in is being able to have 0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:38.760 that step initially so that way he doesn't have to 0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:40.840 make up that ground later on, because that's really what 0:14:40.840 --> 0:14:42.480 he's having to do is play a lot of catchup. 0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:46.120 And I think overall it's it's something that he's gonna 0:14:46.200 --> 0:14:48.760 learn and it's something that these receivers are teaching him 0:14:48.880 --> 0:14:51.680 right now. DK Mattcap quite possibly one of the best 0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:54.240 deep threats in all of the NFL right now coming 0:14:54.360 --> 0:14:58.480 up here on Sunday with the Seattle Seahawks.

Can 0:18:00.440 --> 0:18:02.200 we have your tickets for the rest of the year. 0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:04.760 It was like, I don't really have tickets for the 0:18:04.760 --> 0:18:08.840 rest of the year, so no, you can at the moment, 0:18:08.880 --> 0:18:11.400 but we'll see what happens moving forward. But they had 0:18:11.400 --> 0:18:14.320 a ton of fun. Who wouldn't at that game? I mean, really, 0:18:14.359 --> 0:18:17.760 the fact that you had that kind of more memories 0:18:17.760 --> 0:18:21.080 being made in that game, man, that was a blast 0:18:21.119 --> 0:18:23.960 for them. But we're getting into two fans on the fifty. 0:18:24.000 --> 0:18:26.600 It's nine fifty on a Tuesday. That's what that always 0:18:26.600 --> 0:18:29.040 will mean throughout the rest of the season. Here on 0:18:29.160 --> 0:18:31.240 Talking Cowboys. You guys are bringing the fire and some 0:18:31.280 --> 0:18:33.800 of these questions already and I love them, keep them coming. 0:18:34.160 --> 0:18:36.480 First one has to do with the matchup that's coming 0:18:36.560 --> 0:18:40.000 up here this Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks and one 0:18:40.240 --> 0:18:43.600 early MVP candidate, and Russell Wilson has been just throwing 0:18:43.640 --> 0:18:46.600 the football around and running the football as well, up 0:18:46.640 --> 0:18:50.000 to four thousand career rushing yards now early in the season, 0:18:50.040 --> 0:18:53.159 and he's been fantastic for Seattle, leading them to a 0:18:53.200 --> 0:18:57.280 two and oh start. But first question comes from Broncos 0:18:57.359 --> 0:19:00.560 seven eight eight, and actually it was also asked by 0:19:00.880 --> 0:19:03.399 Strike Chris as well. Do you think that having a 0:19:03.440 --> 0:19:07.160 spy on Russell Wilson this Sunday will help? Is there 0:19:07.200 --> 0:19:10.120 a possibility that this could help? And Isaiah, if you're back, 0:19:10.160 --> 0:19:13.040 we're gonna start with you here. Yes, he's back. I 0:19:13.040 --> 0:19:15.159 think I'm back here. Very good, You're back. Let's go. 0:19:16.320 --> 0:19:18.560 So that's something that I was going to bring up 0:19:18.560 --> 0:19:20.360 in the last segment. Okay, when we started talking about 0:19:20.400 --> 0:19:25.840 the secondary. Russell Wilson, he presents a very unique issue 0:19:26.000 --> 0:19:29.040 for the Cowboys, right, and Mike Nolan, especially because of 0:19:29.080 --> 0:19:31.879 his scheme. There really is no win, right, So it 0:19:31.960 --> 0:19:33.880 really is gonna come down to can this defensive line 0:19:33.960 --> 0:19:37.320 get pressure. If the defensive line cannot get pressure alone, 0:19:37.800 --> 0:19:40.320 then this secondary is going to suffer. The reason being, 0:19:40.400 --> 0:19:42.920 if you decide to play man to man, you can't 0:19:42.920 --> 0:19:46.520 match up against the Seattle wide receiver speed. You just can't. Right. 0:19:46.640 --> 0:19:50.440 DK Metcalf presents a problem, Tyler presents a problem, Greg 0:19:50.480 --> 0:19:53.720 Olsen presents a problem, right even O O g Right, 0:19:53.760 --> 0:19:55.919 So you can't line up man because if you go 0:19:56.000 --> 0:19:57.720 man to man against those guys, you're gonna lose with 0:19:57.760 --> 0:20:00.919 your receivers against the your dbs against their receivers, and 0:20:01.160 --> 0:20:04.480 you're gonna have a linebacker trying to spy Russell Wilson. So, 0:20:04.560 --> 0:20:07.000 to answer your question, that's not a good matchup. But 0:20:07.080 --> 0:20:09.439 then on the other end of that, if they decide 0:20:09.480 --> 0:20:12.280 to go zone. Right now, you're if this defensive line 0:20:12.280 --> 0:20:15.159 doesn't get pressure and they're playing zone, Russell Wilson is 0:20:15.200 --> 0:20:17.439 going to pick you apart. So the d line has 0:20:17.480 --> 0:20:20.600 to show up playing spying Russell Wilson is a good 0:20:20.640 --> 0:20:23.280 idea if you're getting pressure with your with your defensive line. 0:20:25.560 --> 0:20:28.440 I think everyone knows that Bill Belichick is probably the 0:20:28.840 --> 0:20:33.720 single best game manager and prepare of anyone in the 0:20:33.800 --> 0:20:37.560 National Football League. And last week he went from a zone, 0:20:37.800 --> 0:20:41.399 went from playing his traditional man to go and zone, 0:20:41.760 --> 0:20:46.680 and Stephan Gilmore his top dog and the Torch gave 0:20:47.160 --> 0:20:51.480 three touchdowns. So what do you do? Do you spy them, 0:20:51.480 --> 0:20:53.679 to spy or not to spy. It's really one of 0:20:53.680 --> 0:20:57.679 those situations where I agree with Isaiah, you have to 0:20:57.760 --> 0:21:00.480 get You have to generate some type of pressure and 0:21:00.800 --> 0:21:04.760 get Russell uncomfortable because what he'll do and that read 0:21:04.800 --> 0:21:08.199 option is just destroy you. He'll set He's so masterful 0:21:08.480 --> 0:21:11.520 as setting that up and creating plays with his legs 0:21:11.520 --> 0:21:13.960 and getting out of the pocket and looking up field. 0:21:14.080 --> 0:21:16.480 They just have way too many weapons for us to 0:21:16.560 --> 0:21:20.359 just relegate one guy to him. We just have to 0:21:20.400 --> 0:21:23.040 rely on our scheme and just try and do everything 0:21:23.080 --> 0:21:27.760
