00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 9: We're gonna start.

27
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 7: Here we go. This is the kind of day we're having.

28
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I'm in a good mood. All right, let's up.

29
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 3: We got a lot we're gonna talk about today. We're

30
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 3: gonna get to Brian's breakdown of the Pittsburgh offense versus

31
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 3: the Dallas defense, maybe even get to some player evaluations,

32
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 3: looking at particularly the Cowboys defense and some players that

33
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 3: we have maybe we haven't talked about as much here recently.

34
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 6: Uh.

35
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 3: And I'll start with some bigger picture questions heading into

36
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 3: week five of the season. This team, now obviously two

37
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 3: and two, I've had a lot of mixed results. The

38
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 3: teams that they've beaten don't appear to be very good teams.

39
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 3: The teams that they've lost to, we don't mean, I

40
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 3: guess the words really, I mean, we really don't know

41
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 3: if those are great teams they have. I think New

42
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 3: Orleans has come back to the pack and they're two

43
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 3: and two as well. Baltimore is looking like the real deal.

44
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 3: But if you were the head coach and you were

45
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 3: walking into the meeting with the team today, what would

46
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 3: be your message to this team entering week five of

47
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 3: the season, after what you've seen the first four weeks

48
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 3: of the season, and knowing where your team is with

49
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 3: all the challenges that are around them.

50
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 9: One week at a time. I think that would probably

51
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 9: be the most coherent message. You have a gauntlet coming up,

52
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:28,959
Speaker 9: and fortunately you have a bye week right in the

53
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 9: middle of that gauntlet. But I think you take one

54
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 9: week at a time, it can really kind of help

55
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 9: this process over these next few weeks of Pittsburgh going

56
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 9: up to Pittsburgh playing a physical Pittsburgh team that is

57
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 9: three and one and is looking to bounce back off

58
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 9: of loss a really athletic quarterback. You had to take

59
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 9: that challenge in its own right and focus on that

60
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 9: until that final buzzer hits on Sunday, and then you

61
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 9: move on to Detroit and then you move on to

62
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 9: the bye week. Especially with all the injuries that the

63
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 9: Cowboys are dealing with on both sides of the ball,

64
00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 9: this is a really important time just to focus on

65
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 9: challenge ahead and not try to look at the whole thing.

66
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 7: I'll go in there and be like, all right, guys,

67
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 7: sink or swim? What are we doing here? We gotta swim,

68
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 7: we gotta stay.

69
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 3: Above with either.

70
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,799
Speaker 7: Why doesn't matter what, no, no, no.

71
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 3: We ain't got no floating. We're struggling.

72
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 7: We're in the this is the what what is that

73
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 7: hardcore training? Navy seals that going there and they just

74
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 7: gotta survive. The cold water is just like tough training,

75
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 7: and you're just out for yourself. You gotta keep yourself afloat.

76
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 7: You can't be drowning other people. As soon as you're

77
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 7: doing that, you're taking someone down with you. So the

78
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 7: focus is focus on what you gotta do. Focus on

79
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 7: your job, focus on your assignment, do the best that

80
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 7: you can do. Don't be lollygagging during the week. We

81
00:03:54,040 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 7: gotta prepare, do your job, study, learn, watch film, learn

82
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 7: your opponent, and do what you gotta do because there's

83
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 7: nothing else to be done. I mean, there's nothing else

84
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 7: you can be done because of all the injuries, I mean,

85
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 7: the way that they're struggling right now, things that you

86
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 7: can't control. So something that I learn about Garrett that

87
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 7: stuck with me because they would say it every week,

88
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 7: control what you can control, and one day at a time,

89
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 7: that's it.

90
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that I would walk in there and

91
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 4: my message to the team would be I need every

92
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 4: one of you sitting in these chairs, coaches, players, I

93
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 4: need every one of you. It doesn't look great right

94
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 4: now with the injuries we're dealing with. But nobody feels

95
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 4: sorry for us. You know, we got to find a

96
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 4: way our players. Dack gotta have it from you, CD

97
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 4: gotta have it from you. Guiden gotta have it from you.

98
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 4: Golston gotta have it from you. I'd start calling guys out, individually,

99
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 4: challenge them to play at a level that they haven't

100
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 4: played out so far this year. You know, maybe go

101
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 4: back and talk about, hey, when we had success when

102
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 4: we were down, uh, you know, when we were when

103
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 4: we didn't have everybody available and we were short handed

104
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 4: and we were playing on short weeks and we're playing

105
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 4: three games in eleven days. Remember how we got through that.

106
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 4: That's what's going to take today because we are shorthanded.

107
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 4: But again, nobody feels sorry for us. But I would

108
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:36,799
Speaker 4: individually challenge those players. I challenge the leaders of the team,

109
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 4: you know, and and by challenging them, they would then

110
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 4: challenge the players that are maybe player fifty fifty one,

111
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 4: fifty two, fifty three on that roster. And it's gonna

112
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 4: maybe the practice squad guys too. It's going to take

113
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 4: them having a really good week like Ambar's talking about.

114
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 4: You know, we're dealing with another quarterback where that does

115
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 4: read option stuff. We got to be disciplined. You know.

116
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 4: Nobody's giving us a chance to go to Pittsburgh and

117
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 4: win this game. It's really important to Mike McCarthy. He's

118
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 4: from Pittsburgh, you know. I mean, you see Mike when

119
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 4: he gets kind of emotional about games Green Bay, you know,

120
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 4: going to Pittsburgh now with this team, you know, it's

121
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 4: it's a challenge for him. But Nick's right, it's the

122
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 4: gauntlet that you're about to run.

123
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 3: This thing.

124
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 4: These next three weeks could determine your season. You get

125
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 4: out of this thing two and five, you know, you

126
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 4: go and you go and lose to Pittsburgh, you lose

127
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 4: to Detroit, you take a buy and go lose to

128
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 4: San Francisco. We might have a new head coach here,

129
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 4: and so now you know you have to and Mike's

130
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 4: not going to say that, but as a player, you've

131
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 4: got to realize that that everybody in this room is

132
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 4: really fighting, you know, fighting for an existence. Like Amber's

133
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 4: talking about, keeping your head above water and making sure

134
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:02,679
Speaker 4: that we're doing everything possible to win these games. Don't

135
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 4: leave anything to chance, you know, Preparation, you know, taking

136
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 4: care of yourself, extra study, whatever you have to do

137
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 4: to go out and play better these next three weeks.

138
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 4: We have to do that, and if we don't, then

139
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 4: the story could be really, really different for a lot

140
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 4: of us.

141
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I think and I was trying to

142
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 3: look it up here and I looked up I kind

143
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 3: of got some of the numbers. But I want to say,

144
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,239
Speaker 3: back in twenty ten, when the Packers won the Super

145
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 3: Bowl here and.

146
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 10: Really banged up, they had an injury report that was

147
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 10: a crial long, and it was it was one of

148
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 10: those things where you kept waiting for them to fall

149
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 10: apart because of all the guys they were losing, and

150
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 10: I'm talking some of their top line starter type guys

151
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 10: that they were losing, and they didn't.

152
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 3: They can't manage to keep it all together. And I

153
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 3: think those are the kinds of things that you would

154
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,080
Speaker 3: want a head coach with this level of experience be

155
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 3: able to impart to this team. Is I've seen this work.

156
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 3: I've seen what teams can do when they pull together

157
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 3: despite injuries, despite injury to some of your best players,

158
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 3: what you can still accomplish if everybody's willing to get

159
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 3: on the same page.

160
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 7: Are they prior to everybody kind of coming down.

161
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 3: I don't know, and that's wy I was trying to

162
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 3: look up. I don't remember what the record was as

163
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 3: that was happening. I don't even remember exactly what part

164
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 3: of the year they lost all these guys.

165
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 4: I just remember ten and six they were for the season, right,

166
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 4: they were ten and six, because the next year they

167
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 4: went fifteen and one.

168
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 9: Yeah, and all six of those losses were by four

169
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 9: points or less.

170
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:33,719
Speaker 3: Yeah it was, and it was one. But it was

171
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:35,679
Speaker 3: one of those things where it's like I remember at

172
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl, everybody saying, like, how is this team here? Like,

173
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 3: how are they still alive with all the guys that

174
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 3: they've lost? And you're right, like, I'm not saying at all,

175
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 3: Dallas is that caliber of team. I don't know that

176
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 3: we've seen anything that tells us that. All I'm saying is,

177
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 3: I think if you're the head coach, the message you

178
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 3: have to give the team is you can do remarkable

179
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 3: things sometimes if you're willing to everybody step up and

180
00:08:57,880 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 3: do their job and pull together in a different kind

181
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 3: away when you lose players, it's possible. And that's what

182
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 3: you're trying to sell I think to this team is

183
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 3: the hope that you can do something special if everybody

184
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 3: does as you said, does their job.

185
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 7: That's the tough part. And like Nick mentioned, I believe

186
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 7: yesterday they were not playing well prior to all these

187
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 7: guys getting injured, and so that's the problem right there.

188
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 7: You were already struggling with healthy players. So now how

189
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 7: do you add this new factor of starters being out

190
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 7: and then trying to put together this team and being

191
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 7: able to combat the struggles that you were already dealing with.

192
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 7: That's a tough thing to do right now.

193
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 3: All right, another question I have for you guys about this. Now,

194
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 3: let's let's flip a little bit and talk about specifically

195
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 3: the Pittsburgh Steelers. They are three and one heading into

196
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 3: this game. Everything they've played so far as two and two,

197
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 3: so you can't really get a gauge for how good

198
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 3: these teams are that they've beaten or that they lost to.

199
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 3: But as in the same way, Dallas is two and two.

200
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 3: So here you go, right, what is your general impression

201
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 3: just big picture? We're going to dive into some of

202
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 3: the more specific things, but big picture, what do you

203
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 3: look at as far as stills are concerned and your

204
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,679
Speaker 3: impressions of them as a team physical.

205
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 9: I know we talked about it yesterday. Physical football team,

206
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 9: and that's on both sides of the ball, specifically in

207
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 9: their pass rush. I mean guys like TJ. Watt, Cameron Hayward,

208
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 9: even Nick Herbig. I mean, these are guys that get

209
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 9: after the quarterback, they generate pressure. They're active in the

210
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 9: run game specifically as well. I mean, if you're looking

211
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 9: for this Dallas Cowboys run game to get going, I

212
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 9: don't think this is the game where it happens. There's

213
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 9: going to have to be quite a bit of intention

214
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:44,680
Speaker 9: put this week if you're Dak Prescott on understanding how

215
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 9: to escape the pocket and how to be able to

216
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 9: find your guys downfield. And I know we talked about

217
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 9: it leading into the Giants game. I know it's something

218
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 9: that he's been trying to emphasize in his game over

219
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 9: the past couple of weeks. I don't think we've necessarily

220
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 9: seen it to the level that we saw in twenty three,

221
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 9: but I think there is still a layer that he

222
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 9: can add to escaping the pocket and making some plays

223
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,319
Speaker 9: happen off script. I think he's going to have to

224
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:07,719
Speaker 9: be able to do that in this game. I think

225
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 9: that's where he makes his where he makes his money

226
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,199
Speaker 9: in this game up in Pittsburgh. If we remember back

227
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:13,719
Speaker 9: the last time they went to Pittsburgh, he had to

228
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 9: make his money escape in the pick a couple of times.

229
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 9: But then on the offensive side of the ball. Staying

230
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 9: on that point of being physical, they get after it

231
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 9: in the run game as well. I mean, they don't

232
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 9: have any super productive runners like Naje Harris has been

233
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 9: a little underwhelming since he's coming to the league, averaging

234
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 9: right around three and a half yards per carry at

235
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,839
Speaker 9: this point in the season. But he's still a physical runner.

236
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 9: He's a tough guy to bring down justin fields, is athletic.

237
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 9: He's going to do a lot of different things out

238
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,959
Speaker 9: of the backfield, read option design runs. He's going to

239
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 9: make it difficult for your defense to be able to

240
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 9: stay on track. And then the Swiss Army Knife Corderyl Patterson,

241
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 9: who's like fifty six years old and has still found

242
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 9: a place in the league and he's still making it

243
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 9: work out of the backfield as well.

244
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 7: Think, I mean, the one thing that just stinds out,

245
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 7: what do you want me to say? After everything, he

246
00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 7: just thought some No, the main thing that stood out

247
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 7: or stands out for me is the physical part that

248
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 7: he just talked about. And this is where we go

249
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 7: back to your team needing to be aggressive and keeping up,

250
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 7: not falling behind. Not as well as how fast you're

251
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 7: playing the game, focus on doing like tackling the right

252
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 7: way and not being a step behind that We've seen

253
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 7: this defense or I've seen this defense do where there's

254
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 7: just a few steps behind and they don't get there

255
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 7: when they need to. So just it's tough again when

256
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:37,199
Speaker 7: you're dealing with so many injured guys on your own team.

257
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 7: Now you're having to combat a team that's not going

258
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 7: to give up easily. They're just gonna go out there

259
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 7: and fight. And what's the word. I can think of

260
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 7: the word, but basically tire you down. Where are you

261
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 7: out there?

262
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,199
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that it's all good thoughts. The thing

263
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,199
Speaker 4: that Mike tom Wins one of the best coaches in

264
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 4: the National Football League, you know, and one of the

265
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 4: reasons why you won that game in twenty sixteen. He

266
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 4: kept going for it for two and Dallas kept stopping him.

267
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 4: Like four times he went for two in that game,

268
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,559
Speaker 4: and all the times Ben Roethlisberger got stopped. It's crazy

269
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 4: how that ending of that game. But just remember Zeke

270
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 4: running through, you know, breaking the Were you.

271
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 3: Down sideline with us? I mean, Nick, we're talking about that.

272
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 3: We were down the sideline when ZK had that big run.

273
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 3: Were you down there with it?

274
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 11: No?

275
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 4: I was not. I was not there. I was not there,

276
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 4: And so yeah, I've done traveling. I think at that

277
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 4: point that was like, ain't doing enough? Yeah, figure it out.

278
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 4: I kind of wish Ul had gone to that game

279
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:35,719
Speaker 4: because that was that was a fun one because Dak

280
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:36,200
Speaker 4: had that.

281
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 7: Season here Buffalo game.

282
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 4: I said, you guys flying through hurricanes and tornadoes and stuff,

283
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 4: and everybody, Oh, look at this.

284
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,079
Speaker 3: It's like right, all right, yeah, yeah, roller coaster.

285
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 4: Everybody's happy, and Derek's looking for his doctor Pepper, and

286
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,199
Speaker 4: I'm I'm not flying on this plane anymore.

287
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 9: We got more cookies coming.

288
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, Trey's flying through the air. But yeah, you know,

289
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 4: that was incredibly yearpe By the way, Dak is a

290
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 4: rookie winning at lambeau Field and at Hinesfield at the time.

291
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 4: That's that was that. Not many rookies cause still Hinfield.

292
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 4: I don't care what I do too. I still call

293
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:14,199
Speaker 4: it and Jack Murphy Stadium, and Joe Robbie and and.

294
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 3: People.

295
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, named after people. But the thing with with with

296
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 4: it's one of the best coaching stabs in the league

297
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 4: and they do a great job. They have turnover with

298
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 4: some of their staff, but they just Mike Tomlin every year.

299
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 4: It seems you talk about a guy that's dealt with

300
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 4: over the years of dealing with injury and mainly at quarterback,

301
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 4: and they don't they don't seem to get the quarterback

302
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 4: thing right. They always just kind of, you know, every

303
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 4: year they're playing with a different guy, and you know

304
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 4: it's it's well since Ben Roethlisberger's left, of course, but

305
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 4: it's just amazing seventeen consecutive winning seasons for this guy.

306
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 4: And they're they're physical, they're tough, They their offenses. Their

307
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 4: offense has got some things about it that you can

308
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 4: take advantage of. And there's some things that they can

309
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 4: try and take advantage of you. I know, we'll get

310
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 4: into that. But when you think of the Steelers, you

311
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 4: always think of organizational You think of stability, you think

312
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 4: of toughness, and you think of going and having to

313
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 4: win at their places. How difficult, it is, but your

314
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 4: quarterback has done that before and hopefully he can relive

315
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 4: some of that magic that he did in twenty sixteen.

316
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, it seems like no matter whether that team is

317
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 3: good or not so good, they're physical, yeah, and will

318
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 3: beat you up.

319
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 8: Yeah.

320
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 3: They play a brand of football that's always tough to

321
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 3: match up.

322
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 4: There was a stat at one time where we used

323
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 4: to keep up with this, and this was when I

324
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 4: was in scouting in the two thousands early two thousands,

325
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 4: where you played the Steelers and then the next week

326
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 4: you automatically lost the game. I mean, they had a

327
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 4: run where you played them and the next week that

328
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 4: whoever played them that week and then played a game

329
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 4: the next week, you automatically lost the game because of

330
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 4: how much they beat your team up, how much it

331
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 4: took out of you to win that game, or that

332
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 4: you would lose a game and then week you just

333
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 4: couldn't you couldn't recover because they had beaten you up

334
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 4: that bad too, you know. So, but it's still I mean,

335
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 4: maybe they're not to that level where they were back

336
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 4: you know, maybe with some Bill cowardays and stuff like that,

337
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 4: but still with Mike Tomlin, just a ton of respect

338
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 4: for how they operate.

339
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 3: Absolutely. All right, we're gonna take our first break. We'll

340
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 3: come back. We're going to dive into this Pittsburgh offense,

341
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 3: learn a little bit more about what they do well

342
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 3: and not so well.

343
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 4: Yeah.

344
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 3: One quick note number one rushing offense in the league.

345
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 3: As far as yards are concerned, that should be a

346
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 3: little concerning. We'll talk about that when we come back.

348
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 12: Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the

349
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 12: Cheat of Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat repellent he

350
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 12: bought online was reliable. And now Todd is trying to

351
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 12: be faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles

352
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 12: per hover. But the good news is Todd has AT

353

Speaker 12: and T five G. It is fast, reliable, and secure,

354
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 12: and he learned the best thing to do is stop

355
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 12: running and toss her the backpack with the beef stew

Speaker 3: It is the second segment of the break Life in

407
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 3: brought to you by blockchain dot Com. All right, let's

408
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 3: dive in. Let's talk about this Pittsburgh offense, and real quick,

409
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 3: I need to correct myself. I said they're the first

410
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 3: deep rushing that's why word for it, and my co

411
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 3: host quickly quickly told me, no, that's not accurate, And

412
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:46,679
Speaker 3: so I went back to look at the site, and

413
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,679
Speaker 3: I think I made a mistake. I looked at the attempts.

414
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 3: They are number one in rushing attempts. They will do that,

415
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:55,160
Speaker 3: not number one in rushing yards, which probably is even

416
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 3: more alarming for me because they're so dedicated to the run.

417
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 3: But let's talk about that. Let's talk about where they

418
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 3: are as a rushing team and kind of how Dallas

419
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 3: has to what the key is to their running attack.

420
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, and they've had some injuries at their offensive line,

421
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 4: and they're they've got a little bit of the element

422
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 4: of the penn and pull stuff that we've seen before.

423
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 4: They like to move the offensive lineman around, they like

424
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,880
Speaker 4: to try and trap, they like to use their tight ends.

425
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 4: Their tight ends are horrible blockers. They really really are.

426
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 4: I mean you say their tight ends they're tight ends

427
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:28,159
Speaker 4: are horrible blockers. Darnell Washington is probably the better of

428
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 4: the blockers. So if you see number eighty, he's a

429
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 4: massive guy. A lot of people thought maybe he had Georgia,

430
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 4: he should have maybe been an offensive tackle, yeah, coming out,

431
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 4: and so I think his knees were the problem. Yeah,

432
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 4: and he was a big, big problem. But they don't

433
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 4: block very well at the point of attack. We've seen

434
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 4: some teams that played the Cowboys. This team plays a

435
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 4: lot of thirteen personnel, one back, three tight ends. That's there.

436
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 4: They're like forty seven percent of doing that. When you

437
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 4: watch them in thirteen personnel. They don't run the ball

438
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 4: worth a dam. They really struggle with the yards they

439
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 4: gained when they run the football in their heavy personnel.

440
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 4: That might play into Dallas's favor. They have some problems

441
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:09,199
Speaker 4: with their offensive line with the health. Isaac Suamala should

442
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 4: be coming back this week, but if he doesn't come back,

443
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:15,639
Speaker 4: then Mason McCormick is a rookie, will play in that spot.

444
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:17,399
Speaker 4: He played in the spot in the Colts game that

445
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 4: I watched last week at left guard. That means if

446
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 4: Suamala doesn't make it back, McCormick plays. So now you

447
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 4: get a rookie left guard and a rookie center. Okay,

448
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 4: that's kind of where they've had some problems. The guy

449
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 4: you attack here is their center, Zach Fraser. I love

450
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 4: Zach Fraser coming out of West Virginia in the draft.

451
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 4: A really good athlete, second level player. He just doesn't

452
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 4: play with a lot of power. He gives up a

453
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 4: lot of pressures inside, and he doesn't always sustain his blocks.

454
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 4: They've had some problems with sustains sustaining blocks when McCormick's

455
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:54,399
Speaker 4: had to play at guard. He again, he's a rookie.

456
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:58,199
Speaker 4: As I just mentioned, he doesn't sustain particularly well. So

457
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 4: they tried to angle block, fold, block down, block, through

458
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,679
Speaker 4: all these things because they don't want to play you

459
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 4: one on one. Now, their best running Najie Harris is

460
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 4: a physical back, there's no question about that. But the

461
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 4: guy that's actually had the most success running the ball

462
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 4: for them is Cordell Patterson. So when they hand the

463
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 4: ball to when they hand the ball to him, they

464
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 4: put him in the backfield, They swing it to him.

465
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:25,919
Speaker 4: They you know, they throw it to him. They toss

466
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 4: it to him. But they've had some problems with their

467
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 4: offensive line getting sustained. The Chargers did a heck of

468
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 4: a job with their linebackers attacking this Steeler offensive line,

469
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 4: and and and the and the Steelers were slow to

470
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:46,239
Speaker 4: react with how physical that and how quick the the

471
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 4: Chargers played in that game at linebacker. And I think

472
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 4: Dallas has got linebackers that are better than what the

473
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,879
Speaker 4: Chargers were playing with, So keep an eye on that.

474
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 4: As far as Dallas playing down hill in this football game,

475
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,400
Speaker 4: trying to beat these block to the point of attack

476
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 4: and make some plays. I mentioned the tight ends.

477
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 3: Frim Youth.

478
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 4: You know, he's a good catcher of the football, kind

479
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 4: of an underneath at the sticks kind of guy. That's

480
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 4: their offense though. I mean, he'll throw the ball outside

481
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,159
Speaker 4: the numbers, justin fields will throw it outside the numbers.

482
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,399
Speaker 4: They got they got a couple of quality receivers, but

483
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 4: you know, when they everything is trying to like take

484
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,920
Speaker 4: care of him, it's routes to the sticks.

485
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 3: Turn.

486
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:33,120
Speaker 4: Every they throw. The majority of their routes, guys are

487
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,200
Speaker 4: right at the sticks or in front of the sticks.

488
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 4: You know the routes, the combinations. It's just try and

489
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 4: get the ball. Try and give him some easy throws.

490
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 4: But when he does throw it down the field, it

491
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 4: is outside the numbers and they got a guy that

492
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 4: will go get it. When you talk about George Pickens,

493
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 4: George Pickens is phenomenal body control, balance, the way that

494
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 4: he plays when you you have to cover him the

495
00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 4: whole time because when the play breaks down, he will

496
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:04,399
Speaker 4: find space and then you see fields will sling it

497
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 4: side arm or run into his left. Just throw it

498
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 4: downfield and Pickens will come up with the ball. He

499
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 4: is a bad ball catcher and along the sidelines down

500
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 4: the field in the red zone. He is their best

501
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 4: receiver by far. They do have some speed. In number

502
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:25,399
Speaker 4: nineteen with Calvin Austin, was he wake Forest? Calvin Austin,

503
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 4: Calvin Austin, wake Forest. I'm trying to think about it.

504
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 4: I thought, off the top of the top of my head,

505
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,399
Speaker 4: watch the Memphis God Dang, I thought it was a

506
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,159
Speaker 4: wake Forest. But anyway, I'm glad. I'm glad, I asked you.

507
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 4: But see, he's the guy that's got legitimate speed, Like

508
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 4: they'll run him inside, throw him the ball and then

509
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 4: he'll bust tackles. So you got it. He's a smaller guy.

510
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,359
Speaker 4: Got to tackle him or he's going to take it

511
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:49,879
Speaker 4: to the house. But they've got some guys that are

512
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 4: pretty good run after the catch, guys with Austin and Pickens.

513
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:57,159
Speaker 4: Their offensive line is is a little bit suspect, I

514
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,640
Speaker 4: think in the running game, and they've had some protection

515
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 4: problems with the center, and so those are all things

516
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 4: I think Dallas can maybe take advantage of.

517
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,880
Speaker 3: Looking at justin feels, he's averaging two hundred and seven

518
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 3: passing yards per game. He only has one interception, which

519
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 3: that's the key. Obviously, you keep him from making at

520
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 3: knocked in the air. Yeah, and you allow and allow,

521
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 3: you allow him to play, but you allow him to

522
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,199
Speaker 3: play under the circumstances of don't mess it up.

523
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:21,439
Speaker 4: Right.

524
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 3: That being said, have you noticed anything different about his

525
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 3: game and his approach this year, about his mechanics, about

526
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 3: anything about what he does that's different than what he

527
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 3: was in Chicago.

528
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 4: He's the same guy. I mean really, when he runs around,

529
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 4: that's when he's terrifying. He's like, he'll drop back and

530
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 4: the next thing, you know, when you're watching say end

531
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 4: zone copy, because you're watching the line, he'll drop back

532
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 4: and then you could just tell in his brain it's

533
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 4: like watch this, you know, and I'm going to take

534
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 4: off running, you know, because he now he'll throw the

535
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,919
Speaker 4: ball in traffic. I mean, he's lucky he doesn't have

536
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 4: more interceptions because he's had balls to get knocked in

537
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 4: the air and you know, and the defense haven't come

538
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 4: up with him. But he's he will force some passes now.

539
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:08,200
Speaker 4: But as far as the thing that you absolutely there's

540
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:12,159
Speaker 4: times where he will make the wrong read when it

541
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 4: comes to the read option stuff. You could tell he

542
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 4: gives the ball to Harris and then it's tackled for

543
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 4: a game to two, where if he pulled it, it's

544
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 4: probably gonna be a fifteen yard game, and you could

545
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:27,639
Speaker 4: tell you he just slumps when you're watching it. He

546
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 4: hands it and he sees it it's a gain to

547
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 4: two and then he sees the edge and he's like, oh,

548
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 4: you know, you can just you can see him body

549
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 4: language go down. I have a feeling in this game

550
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 4: he's gonna pull a lot of these balls and run. Yeah,

551
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 4: he's gonna test. He's going to test if Dallas is

552
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 4: good enough on the edges, if they're disciplined enough with

553
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:48,399
Speaker 4: you know, and we've seen Neil and play with some

554
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 4: discipline Golston, you know, discipline player. The guy that's been

555
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 4: kind of confused a little bit has been or just

556
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 4: kind of put in no man's land has been Micah

557
00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 4: a little bit. So we'll see how. But I have

558
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:04,159
Speaker 4: a feeling that you're going to see fields run the

559
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:07,440
Speaker 4: ball more. Remember the game's Chicago, Dallas played here.

560
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 3: That's what he did. Michael made that wasn't Michael have

561
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 3: made the big playing for running down Yeah?

562
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, so there he's going to run. But that that's

563
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 4: that's his weapon. And they're good, you know they're good.

564
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 4: They're going to They're going to try and run the

565
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,400
Speaker 4: ball on you. I mean, even though they haven't had success.

566
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 4: You mentioned it. Arthur Smith, who is a former Atlanta

567
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 4: Falcons head coach. He was with the Tennessee Titans. We

568
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,159
Speaker 4: all knew the Titans ran the ball, you know, with

569
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 4: how they did. So Arthur Smith, uh as the o

570
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 4: c here. He's going to try and do things to

571
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 4: protect his quarterback the best he can. But if you

572
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 4: make it into a passing game for this guy, could

573
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 4: be a little tough. Could be a little tough for him.

574
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 3: When you look at a team like this that has

575
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:53,400
Speaker 3: George Pickens who he and and Friarmouth, I think are

576
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 3: really the passing weapons like those are the guys you

577
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 3: got to be most concerned about. How do you go

578
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 3: about trying to account for them, knowing that the secondary

579
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:02,159
Speaker 3: has been a little banged up and you're trying to

580
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 3: kind of manage that. Is this a game where you

581
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 3: have to really think about, uh, you know, how you

582
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:09,679
Speaker 3: match up with him knowing that you're gonna have some

583
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:11,199
Speaker 3: challenges maybe on the outside.

584
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is a if anything, you need to shade

585
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 4: his direction, you know, I'm talking about if you want

586
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:21,719
Speaker 4: a safety with the corner, I would shade that direction.

587
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 4: I mean they got to guy. Scotty Miller is another

588
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 4: guy that they have. I didn't mention him. He's kind

589
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 4: of a He's like a useful third down pivot route

590
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:34,640
Speaker 4: slot guy. Yeah, he's a smaller, so what you see

591
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,399
Speaker 4: him is like they'll get in bunch formation, run to

592
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 4: inside and loop him around and throw it in the

593
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 4: flat and he catches it and then he's up the field.

594
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 4: So they've got they've got third down options that they use.

595
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 4: But to talk about furmuth Man, he he makes plays,

596
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 4: I just don't know, run after catch.

597
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's like a catch.

598
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 4: It and get whacked and he's on the ground. You know,

599
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 4: kind of a guy. He really doesn't. You know. It's

600
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 4: not like just these new age tight ends are just running.

601
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 4: I mean the film I watched, it's like a lot

602
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 4: of catch and then a lot of get cut down

603
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 4: with him.

604
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 3: But he knows how to get to it and catch them.

605
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 4: Absolutely. I would Pickens could be a mess to deal with,

606
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 4: as you said, but you have to like with digs

607
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 4: and then you know, hopefully Carson's back in that mode.

608
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 4: But I would make sure that to that side of

609
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 4: fourteen that I'm kind of keeping an eye in that

610
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 4: direction because he's the one guy that can make that

611
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:36,479
Speaker 4: play down the field when they decide to throw it.

612
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 3: All right, let's go and take our final break. We'll

613
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 3: come back. We'll talk about this defense, the Cowboys defense,

614
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 3: And I want you guys to answer the question for

615
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 3: me if there's one thing on this defense right now

616
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 3: that you feel like they can at least hang their

617
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 3: hat on that this will be good. What is that

618
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:52,200

680
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 3: Question, I want you to turn that into a jingle.

681
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 3: I thought what you were going to do is sing

682
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 3: us a little song there, But it just kind of

683
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 3: fell flat after that, you didn't kind of you might

684
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 3: have to get into it.

685
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 4: Did we get in trouble for music rights?

686
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 3: That's a thing. That's a real thing.

687
00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Yeah, that's.

688
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 3: The real thing. Well, come back into the final segment,

689
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 3: final segment of the break life in the s WBC

690
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 3: Mortgage studios at the Star. Okay, so here's what I

691
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 3: want to do. I want to find out from you guys,

692
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 3: Like right now, as you look at this defense, they

693
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 3: obviously are without their two Arguably they're two best defensive

694
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 3: players for an extended period of time. I'm not sure

695
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 3: how long for Michael, but at least for a week.

696
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 3: We know that for a week. That being said, if

697
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 3: you had one thing you could put your hat on,

698
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 3: because I think last year, I think we all universally

699
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 3: agreed this team could get after the quarterback if you

700
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:31,239
Speaker 3: got them in situations where a team other team had

701
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 3: to pass, good luck to you. What would you say

702
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:36,719
Speaker 3: that thing is this year? Does this defense have a

703
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 3: thing that it really does well that it can really

704
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 3: rely on?

705
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 4: I will say to go first hereby could you know

706
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 4: it's funny this week I mentioned about this is something

707
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 4: I was curious about when the Steelers we talk about

708
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 4: how they run their offense at the sticks, you know,

709
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 4: the way the rally and play routes that are played short,

710
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 4: you know, kind of try and get off the field

711
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 4: that way. I mean they can't run defense. I mean

712
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 4: they get in a lot of bad situations, but when

713
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:09,360
Speaker 4: they have to play third down pass defense at the sticks,

714
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 4: one of the best teams in the league when it

715
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:13,719
Speaker 4: comes So if you play short like that, if you

716
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 4: play short like the Steelers are going to try and

717
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 4: play in this game with the tight end with Pickings,

718
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,759
Speaker 4: with you know, with Austin, if they're gonna if they're

719
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 4: gonna run routes at the sticks or near the sticks

720
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:26,880
Speaker 4: and play short, one of the best teams in the

721
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,800
Speaker 4: league when it comes to defending those types of routes,

722
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:33,799
Speaker 4: believe it or not. So that to me was encouraging.

723
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 4: If if if you're gonna tell me whoa wait a minute,

724
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:39,799
Speaker 4: this they're the Steelers offense is based on this right

725
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 4: now for their quarterback. And what's the strength that Dallas has, Well,

726
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 4: Dallas can combat you playing that way. Now, Dallas can't

727
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 4: stop you from running the damn ball. Worth the heck,

728
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 4: But you know, and and the Steelers. They're going to

729
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 4: try and run the ball. I don't know how well

730
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 4: they're going to be with this offensive line. Running the

731
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:57,920
Speaker 4: ball might be like the Giants game, but if it.

732
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 4: But the one thing that they can do is is

733
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 4: they when they get you in passing situations, they can

734
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:05,719
Speaker 4: find ways to get you off the field, especially if

735
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:06,840
Speaker 4: you're throwing the ball short.

736
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:09,759
Speaker 9: I do like this linebacking corps. I think there is

737
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 9: still a lot of confidence that this linebacking corp should

738
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 9: be able to take away. I think most of the

739
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 9: issues in the run game have been a product of

740
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:19,879
Speaker 9: what's been going on up front, and the linebacking corps

741
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 9: has been asked to do a lot of different things.

742
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:24,279
Speaker 9: But as far as the veteran leadership with guys like

743
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:29,759
Speaker 9: Eric Kendricks, the young tenacity that Demarvin over shown has

744
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 9: shown mareslea foul. I still like what Demon Clark has

745
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 9: done and his reps. Even though they've gone up and

746
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:37,839
Speaker 9: down and up and down. I think there is still

747
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 9: a lot you could take away from that linebacking corps.

748
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:41,359
Speaker 9: I think that is a solid second level. I will

749
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 9: still stand on the table that this is a top

750
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:44,880
Speaker 9: five linebacking corps in the league. I think they just

751
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 9: need to be set up in better situations.

752
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 7: I'll be honest, I don't. I mean, I don't. I'm

753
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:56,360
Speaker 7: not hanging my hat nowhere. It's still on my head because,

754
00:35:56,640 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 7: like as they were talking, I'm thinking of every facet

755
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 7: of the game, I'm thinking of the defense, every part

756
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:08,440
Speaker 7: of the defense, and there's been issues in every part

757
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 7: different times, and then they've had moments. And I agree

758
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 7: the linebackers they've done a really really good job and

759
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:16,879
Speaker 7: I've only really seen them struggle when they don't get

760
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:20,439
Speaker 7: help from the defensive line. So that's an area that's good.

761
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:23,240
Speaker 7: But if I had to point something that has suit

762
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 7: out and that I think has been better than I

763
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 7: thought would be these younger players and the way that

764
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:34,839
Speaker 7: they've come into this season with no NFL experience and

765
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 7: they've been able to showcase things at a level that

766
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:43,080
Speaker 7: it's pretty decent, you know, given what it is, and

767
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:47,439
Speaker 7: obviously always room for improvement there. But you talk about

768
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 7: guys like Overshown, he was out all season last year,

769
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 7: the way that he was able to come back this year.

770
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 7: You typically expect for an injured guy that's been out

771
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 7: that long that it would take several multiple weeks for

772
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,319
Speaker 7: you to get back into rhythm. And he was right

773
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:08,760
Speaker 7: off the bat so good. So that's a plus. Even Carson,

774
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 7: he's been out, he was out last week. We're hopefully

775
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 7: expecting him to be back for this weekend. But he's

776
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:17,800
Speaker 7: another guy that I think has shined as well. Marshall Kneeland,

777
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:21,400
Speaker 7: another guy that so these Yeah.

778
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 3: I think I'm actually excited to see what he can

779
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:25,800
Speaker 3: do with those guys out with more plays.

780
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:28,400
Speaker 7: So that's the thing. They they the Cowboys had taken

781
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:34,359
Speaker 7: a gamble on these drafted players and hope that they

782
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:37,680
Speaker 7: can be good, and they've been good. It's just now,

783
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:40,800
Speaker 7: you know, you got to elevate the game as a whole.

784
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 7: But that's the one positive thing that I think these

785
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:49,160
Speaker 7: younger players have actually been pretty productive for what's being asked.

786
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 3: All right, here's what we're going to do. I got some players,

787
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:52,319
Speaker 3: some names I'm going to throw out to you guys,

788
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 3: and I want you to give me an evaluation of

789
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 3: how you think they've played. One thing that you you've

790
00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 3: really liked about what they do, and one thing that

791
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 3: you would say, hey, this is an area where they

792
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:03,319
Speaker 3: have to get better or they should be focused on

793
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 3: getting better. Let's start the guy we just brought up,

794
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:07,880
Speaker 3: Marshawn Neeland. What if you liked from him, what do

795
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 3: you think where do you think he needs to improved?

796
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:11,239
Speaker 2: I like his physicality.

797
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 9: I think there is Whenever he was coming out of

798
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 9: Western Michigan, that was what he was hanging his hat on.

799
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 9: As far as as far as a guy that can

800
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 9: be two hundred and seventy plus pounds and get around.

801
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:21,360
Speaker 14: The edge with some power.

802
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 9: He's been able to do that in some instances, especially

803
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:27,440
Speaker 9: in the run game. But I think I think overall

804
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:29,279
Speaker 9: there is still another level that he can take from

805
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 9: the pass rush perspective, you know, just trying to get

806
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:33,840
Speaker 9: after the quarterback, doing the similar things that you do

807
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 9: in the run game, just do it in the pass

808
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:37,839
Speaker 9: rush and try to get to the quarterback a little

809
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:39,840
Speaker 9: bit more. I mean, that was probably his one knock

810
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 9: coming out of Kalamazoo was that he does not have

811
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:45,759
Speaker 9: those pass rushing knacks. I think he finished with four

812
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 9: and a half sacks at wester from Michigan last year.

813
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 9: Excuse me, He's gonna have to be able to find

814
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:52,880
Speaker 9: that here in these next few weeks, especially with Lawrence

815
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 9: and Parsons out because you look at the best pass

816
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:57,880
Speaker 9: rushers on this team from an edge perspective, you're relying

817
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:00,160
Speaker 9: on him, You're lying on Chauncey Golston. These are two

818
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 9: guys who have not been traditionally guys who are getting

819
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:05,400
Speaker 9: sack numbers. So Neilan's gonna have to be able to

820
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 9: find that that that sack ability here in these next

821
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:08,719
Speaker 9: couple of weeks.

822
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 4: Good opportunity this week with Broderick Jones and and Dan Moore. Uh,

823
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 4: you know these these tackles have you know, they've they've

824
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:18,840
Speaker 4: struggled at times on the edge and and so you know,

825
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 4: he just I think he's one of those guys that

826
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:24,400
Speaker 4: once he gets it going, it's going to come in

827
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 4: bunches for him because he's going to figure out. He's

828
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:28,799
Speaker 4: going to figure out like, Okay, this is how I

829
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:30,920
Speaker 4: break a guy down. This is how I get around,

830
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:32,440
Speaker 4: This is how I get to the corner, this is

831
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:35,400
Speaker 4: how I close on the It's tough with the quarterback,

832
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 4: the guy. You know this guy this week, because he's

833
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 4: gonna run around, he's gonna make you miss. He's a

834
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:43,360
Speaker 4: big guy, he's a physical guy. But once he gets

835
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 4: one sack and then the second sack. He could get

836
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 4: these in bunches. I love the way he plays with effort. Uh,

837
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 4: He's always trying to get to the football. He's learning

838
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:57,480
Speaker 4: how to play with his hands. You know, there's some powers,

839
00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:00,759
Speaker 4: as Nick mentioned, to his game. There's a lot of

840
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:03,520
Speaker 4: positive things about him if they could just get him

841
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 4: going as a pass rusher. And I'm not saying he

842
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 4: has to be double digit sack guy right now, because

843
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 4: I never think that was going to be his game,

844
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:13,880
Speaker 4: but my gosh, he looks better now in the NFL

845
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 4: rushing the passer than he did at Western Michigan, And

846
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:18,279
Speaker 4: so that's encouraging to me.

847
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:20,600
Speaker 3: Have you seen flashes of that yet, Like as far

848
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 3: as his pass rushing.

849
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just you know, what's so hard to evaluate

850
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 4: the Cowboys pass rush is because they're never in pact.

851
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 4: They never get to rush the passer. It's you know,

852
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 4: it's teams that were running the ball fifty two percent

853
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 4: of the time on Dallas. You're not good enough stopping

854
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 4: the run too, you know, I do know this from

855
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 4: metrics and looking at it. You know, with Tank and

856
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:45,880
Speaker 4: Mike and out playing, you just lost forty seven percent

857
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:49,319
Speaker 4: of your pressures. You know, somebody's got to step up there.

858
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:52,360
Speaker 4: But the guy to me, if you said, give me

859
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 4: a guy that can rush the passer, that has a

860
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 4: chance of the young guys like Carl Lawson at one

861
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 4: time could rush the pastor. I think Neelan's got a

862
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:04,799
Speaker 4: better shot of getting home than Carl Lawson, does you know?

863
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:08,280
Speaker 4: I really do. Now we'll see what with kJ Henry,

864
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:11,360
Speaker 4: He's going to get an opportunity. I'm almost positive I

865
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:13,879
Speaker 4: worry about him because he can't get to the edge,

866
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 4: but he's a little bit like Kneelan and he just

867
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 4: can't quite finish yet. But once those guys kind of

868
00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:22,280
Speaker 4: figure it out, then all of a sudden, it's okay,

869
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:24,480
Speaker 4: that's how you do it. It just takes that one

870
00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 4: or two sacks to kind of get him going. But

871
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:29,399
Speaker 4: I'm very encouraged by the player because he's he's far

872
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 4: better as a player than I even gave him credit

873
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:33,560
Speaker 4: for when he was coming out of college.

874
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:36,439
Speaker 7: No he I mean, yeah, he's put in the work

875
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:39,160
Speaker 7: and I think it's translated to while we're watching on

876
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 7: the field, and I think one of the things with

877
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:43,960
Speaker 7: him is he just needs some more opportunities and he's

878
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:45,960
Speaker 7: going to get out this weekend. He's about to get

879
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 7: it and show up. I think he's a what he's

880
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:52,360
Speaker 7: missing is exactly that. I do believe. Once he finds

881
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:55,359
Speaker 7: that confidence of getting to the quarterback getting a sack,

882
00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:57,880
Speaker 7: I think it's going to become more of a trend

883
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:00,879
Speaker 7: for him and he's going to be a very explosive

884
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:04,120
Speaker 7: and positive player for this defense for sure.

885
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 3: Let's get one more player, Jeff.

886
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 8: Yeah.

887
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:09,200
Speaker 9: Just from Mike McCarthy at his press conference just now

888
00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 9: confirming that Brandon Cooks will not be playing this week

889
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:14,319
Speaker 9: due to a knee infection that he has developed over

890
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:16,640
Speaker 9: these last few days. So we were waiting on official

891
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:18,399
Speaker 9: word for that before putting it out on the show,

892
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:19,919
Speaker 9: but that's what we got.

893
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 3: It's just keep on coming, keep on coming. I will

894
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:26,520
Speaker 3: say this though, I Jalen Tolbert is a guy that

895
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 3: I think has played well for what they've asked him

896
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 3: to do so far this year, and I kind of

897
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 3: want to see what he does with, you know, being

898
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:35,840
Speaker 3: the number two. You would assume he's going to be

899
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:37,480
Speaker 3: probably the number two. The guy's going to get most

900
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:40,040
Speaker 3: of those reps sliding into that number two position and

901
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:42,000
Speaker 3: see what he can do with it. I'm interested to

902
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:42,759
Speaker 3: see what that looks like.

903
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 9: Everybody screaming for Ryan Flinoy to be active. This is

904
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:48,600
Speaker 9: this is his time in the field. So yeah, all.

905
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:50,920
Speaker 3: Right, one of the let's get one more name for

906
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:52,600
Speaker 3: me in the show here. Donovan Wilson.

907
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 9: I love what he did against the Giants. I will

908
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:58,320
Speaker 9: say it was a really nice bounce back game for him.

909
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:01,239
Speaker 9: Against the Giants, he was doing what we've gotten used

910
00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:03,280
Speaker 9: to seeing Donovan Wilson do. But the first three weeks,

911
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 9: my goodness, at times I wondered if Marcus Bell would

912
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:07,920
Speaker 9: have been a better option, just to put at the

913
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:10,560
Speaker 9: strong safety position and have him at least come and

914
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:12,400
Speaker 9: play the run a little bit better. I mean, it

915
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 9: was bad angles, bad aggression and trying to bring down

916
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:18,480
Speaker 9: ball carriers. It was a couple of times where he

917
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:22,280
Speaker 9: was just kind of escorting Henry for fifteen yards against

918
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:25,880
Speaker 9: the Ravens. So but in the Giants game, I do

919
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:29,680
Speaker 9: like the different approach that he took. He was big,

920
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:32,279
Speaker 9: and the Giants only having twenty six rushing yards in

921
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:34,280
Speaker 9: that game as well. It was an all out defensive

922
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:37,399
Speaker 9: effort to that point. But Donovan Wilson was a part

923
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:37,960
Speaker 9: of that for sure.

924
00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, the angles could be crazy. You're like, boy, did

925
00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:42,920
Speaker 4: he close his eyes on that one? You know, but

926
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:44,920
Speaker 4: he's a blow him up guy, and he could get

927
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:47,799
Speaker 4: around the ball. He can tackle, you know, with the

928
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:50,279
Speaker 4: best of him. But you're also gonna every once in

929
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:51,759
Speaker 4: a while you're going to have that one or two

930
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:53,799
Speaker 4: plays where you're like, boy, he did not see that

931
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 4: very well. And I think he was much better against

932
00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:59,279
Speaker 4: the Giants than he had been the previous games. And

933
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:02,880
Speaker 4: you need him to be that guy because if teams

934
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 4: are going to run the ball and he's going to

935
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:06,719
Speaker 4: be in the hole or in the alley wherever he is,

936
00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:09,279
Speaker 4: they need him to make tackles, you know, they don't

937
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:11,920
Speaker 4: need him to miss. And that's that's something that's if

938
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:15,280
Speaker 4: if there's one thing that you could say that really

939
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:18,680
Speaker 4: bothers me about this Dallas defense is the miss tackles.

940
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:21,560
Speaker 4: I mean, they they give they've given up damn near

941
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:23,800
Speaker 4: five hundred yards just mis tackles.

942
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:26,360
Speaker 3: And that wasn't a problem last year, Right, wasn't a problem.

943
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:28,480
Speaker 3: I don't recall that being a problem for them last year.

944
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:35,839
Speaker 3: But for some reason, it's just been because I think, yeah,

945
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 3: let's be clear, all bets off when you're talking about

946
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:43,120
Speaker 3: those particular games, because last year those games they just

947
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:44,920
Speaker 3: got disc We don't need to about it.

948
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:49,080
Speaker 4: He's I believe he's not wrong. But to me, there

949
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:52,239
Speaker 4: there are some there. It seems like to me at

950
00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:55,319
Speaker 4: every and the Giants game was far better than what

951
00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:58,880
Speaker 4: the other previous three games were. But man, it just

952
00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:01,640
Speaker 4: seemed like to me that they've had guys in position

953
00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 4: in these linebackers in position in that the Ravens game,

954
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:09,560
Speaker 4: it's just mistackling, missa mistackling. You know, they were fighting

955
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 4: blocks and against the Saints, but they've just given up

956
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:15,560
Speaker 4: so many big plays. But last year I think there

957
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:18,320
Speaker 4: was times where teams ranted a little bit and you

958
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:20,879
Speaker 4: were like going, well, they just got to tackle better here,

959
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:22,239
Speaker 4: and they didn't.

960
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:26,000
Speaker 7: Well real quick. With Donovan Wilson, he's a guy that

961
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:32,160
Speaker 7: I absolutely love, but he he started to fade away

962
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:35,800
Speaker 7: in recent games. I mean last week he played well,

963
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:39,040
Speaker 7: but he was a guy that prior to them giving

964
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:41,719
Speaker 7: them giving him the new contract, I mean, you talk

965
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:45,399
Speaker 7: about the most aggressive player on the defense. He will

966
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:48,840
Speaker 7: not be afraid of tackling, and he's always there. He's

967
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:52,120
Speaker 7: always where the ball is somewhere around there, and then

968
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:54,040
Speaker 7: all of a sudden that kind of started going away

969
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:57,479
Speaker 7: slowly or missing some of those tackles. So I think

970
00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:00,360
Speaker 7: he definitely has it in him, but I want to

971
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:01,200
Speaker 7: see more from him.

972
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:03,520
Speaker 3: All Right, that's a wrap. We'll be back tomorrow. We'll

973
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 3: get into the Pittsburgh defense versus the Dallas offense. Till
