<v Speaker 6>to stand up and dance for us.

0:01:01.000 --> 0:01:02.840
<v Speaker 7>I don't even know what it's called. That one dance.

0:01:03.480 --> 0:01:05.640
<v Speaker 8>I don't know the name it was. It was. It's

0:01:05.640 --> 0:01:06.759
<v Speaker 8>on your social media.

0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:09.440
<v Speaker 7>Do it right, do it left?

0:01:09.520 --> 0:01:11.240
<v Speaker 8>It's left right, left, right?

0:01:11.760 --> 0:01:15.080
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, yeah, well you're having problems with the left right

0:01:15.120 --> 0:01:17.880
<v Speaker 9>footwork there looked like a right tackle.

0:01:17.959 --> 0:01:20.920
<v Speaker 10>Some people are not born with that kind of skill.

0:01:22.480 --> 0:01:24.200
<v Speaker 10>Takes a lot of coordination, some pain.

0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:25.120
<v Speaker 8>Some can dance.

0:01:25.240 --> 0:01:28.520
<v Speaker 6>Right there, you go exactly, lean into whatever God gave you.

0:01:28.880 --> 0:01:31.440
<v Speaker 8>Whatever. You a Dominican though, that you could have, you

0:01:31.480 --> 0:01:31.759
<v Speaker 8>have that.

0:01:31.840 --> 0:01:32.000
<v Speaker 11>You know.

0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:34.440
<v Speaker 10>That's the kind of shame I bring up on my

0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:37.800
<v Speaker 10>own people. It's the fact that I'm probably me and

0:01:37.880 --> 0:01:40.319
<v Speaker 10>my brothers. They claim they can dance, but they can't.

0:01:40.959 --> 0:01:44.200
<v Speaker 10>But yeah, we were not good dances. My mom can

0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:46.800
<v Speaker 10>dance really good. Everybody in my family, my dad is

0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:47.520
<v Speaker 10>a big dancer.

0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:50.600
<v Speaker 2>But that's interesting Mom and dad and what happened. None

0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:51.240
<v Speaker 2>of y'all could.

0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:53.640
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I don't know.

0:01:54.680 --> 0:01:55.960
<v Speaker 2>Y'all were busy doing other things.

0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:57.520
<v Speaker 7>Let's put it like that, painting.

0:01:57.240 --> 0:01:57.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, painting.

0:01:57.840 --> 0:01:58.200
<v Speaker 8>There you go.

0:01:58.320 --> 0:02:00.160
<v Speaker 6>All right, here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna we're

0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:02.880
<v Speaker 6>gonna start that injury report. Patrick's not here to give

0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:04.360
<v Speaker 6>it to us. But that's a good thing, because the

0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:08.320
<v Speaker 6>Cowboys injury report is basically empty, like they don't have

0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:09.639
<v Speaker 6>any They have guys on it, but.

0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:11.400
<v Speaker 2>They all have full participation in practice.

0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:11.560
<v Speaker 8>Here.

0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:13.320
<v Speaker 6>There was one thing that stood out to me, though,

0:02:13.320 --> 0:02:16.520
<v Speaker 6>I thought was interesting. Tyrant tinnashitot nd shot A shot

0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:20.440
<v Speaker 6>opened his window. What what can he provide for this

0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:23.160
<v Speaker 6>offense at this point. Is there anything you can expect

0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:24.960
<v Speaker 6>it for him to provide at this point coming back

0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:26.840
<v Speaker 6>from injury, Well.

0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:31.000
<v Speaker 10>It would be interesting to see what that looks like,

0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:34.320
<v Speaker 10>because prior to the injury, he wasn't doing a whole lot,

0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:36.799
<v Speaker 10>like even from the start of training camp. I don't

0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:38.840
<v Speaker 10>know what it was. I don't know what kind of

0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:42.240
<v Speaker 10>funk he was in, but he just was wasn't having

0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:46.240
<v Speaker 10>a successful start of twenty twenty three season.

0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:46.480
<v Speaker 12>Like.

0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:47.280
<v Speaker 1>Uh.

0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:51.079
<v Speaker 10>It seemed to me that maybe a lot of it

0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:55.120
<v Speaker 10>was mental because physically, prior to the injury he was fine.

0:02:55.360 --> 0:02:56.440
<v Speaker 10>He was physically fine.

0:02:56.520 --> 0:02:56.960
<v Speaker 7>Last year.

0:02:56.960 --> 0:02:59.799
<v Speaker 10>He did a really good job given what was asked

0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:02.800
<v Speaker 10>of him to do and his role in the offense.

0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:05.840
<v Speaker 10>But then all of a sudden, I don't know if

0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:10.200
<v Speaker 10>it was the addition of them drafting look Schoommaker, maybe

0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:12.280
<v Speaker 10>that got into his head or what. This is just

0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:15.640
<v Speaker 10>me trying to find reasons. This is not anything that

0:03:15.720 --> 0:03:19.480
<v Speaker 10>hurt or seeing myself. But I don't know if if

0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:24.320
<v Speaker 10>it was that the arriving of Schoolmaker and maybe him

0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:26.720
<v Speaker 10>getting too much into his head, but because there were

0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:29.800
<v Speaker 10>a lot of instances that he would mess up not

0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:31.959
<v Speaker 10>catch a ball or something, and he would have that

0:03:32.000 --> 0:03:35.200
<v Speaker 10>conversation of that kind of saying, hey, it's okay, Like

0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:38.440
<v Speaker 10>I would see that, like him reassuring him like, hey

0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:41.560
<v Speaker 10>it's fine, bro, like you got this blah blah blah,

0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:43.520
<v Speaker 10>and then they would go and then yeah, he might

0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:47.480
<v Speaker 10>catch the next ball and like that. But right now,

0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:50.200
<v Speaker 10>I don't know what that could look like for him,

0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:53.640
<v Speaker 10>him coming off that injury, because prior to that it wasn't.

0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:56.280
<v Speaker 9>I think she tailed it. I think she absolutely nailed

0:03:56.280 --> 0:03:59.400
<v Speaker 9>it with him. And there are people in the organization

0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:03.240
<v Speaker 9>even before last season they were, you know, guys were

0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:06.080
<v Speaker 9>talking about, hey, watch this Hindershot watching and he kind

0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:09.280
<v Speaker 9>of he has some productive plays, and then all of

0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:14.720
<v Speaker 9>a sudden, then Ferguson just completely outplays him. They draft Schoonmaker.

0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:17.400
<v Speaker 9>And now maybe you're a little bit you're not so

0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:20.320
<v Speaker 9>sure about what your role is really going to be.

0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:23.080
<v Speaker 9>But there were a lot of people in this organization

0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:26.000
<v Speaker 9>that we were talking about that they felt like that

0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:29.680
<v Speaker 9>Hindershot might have been above Ferguson at points of time

0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:32.839
<v Speaker 9>of last year, and then here they are, they go

0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:35.920
<v Speaker 9>out and draft a second round tight end. It doesn't

0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:38.800
<v Speaker 9>seem like it's bothered Ferguson all that much. But then

0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:42.840
<v Speaker 9>Hindershot gets hurt. You know what, it's a capable player,

0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:47.200
<v Speaker 9>you know, it's to me, it's you know, McEwan. I

0:04:47.240 --> 0:04:49.159
<v Speaker 9>know there was a lot of guys. Bobby and I

0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:52.640
<v Speaker 9>did a podcast yesterday, Love of the Star, and Bobby's like,

0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:54.880
<v Speaker 9>I want to see more of the Michigan tight end,

0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:57.960
<v Speaker 9>and I got many too. Man, I'm on this Schoonmaker

0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:00.919
<v Speaker 9>thing by myself. I feel like it's no McEwan, the

0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:05.760
<v Speaker 9>other Michigan tie and I went clear and I went, oh, okay,

0:05:05.960 --> 0:05:07.480
<v Speaker 9>yeah he was. He said I want to see more

0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:09.440
<v Speaker 9>of the Michigan tied in and I immediately thought of

0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:13.520
<v Speaker 9>Schoonmaker and he was talking about McEwen and so that.

0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:18.920
<v Speaker 9>But I think having Hindershot and Schoonmaker and Ferguson and

0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:21.919
<v Speaker 9>I think that you it presents a little bit of

0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:24.719
<v Speaker 9>a different group. Maybe things have had a chance, like

0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:28.080
<v Speaker 9>Ambar said, maybe he settled down. Maybe the injuries kind

0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:30.120
<v Speaker 9>of put him into place like okay, I just need

0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:30.800
<v Speaker 9>to go out and play.

0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:31.000
<v Speaker 8>Now.

0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:33.039
<v Speaker 9>I've got, you know, a couple of months here to

0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:35.720
<v Speaker 9>kind of figure out a help and be the type

0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:37.680
<v Speaker 9>of player that I could be. I'm gonna say it's

0:05:37.680 --> 0:05:40.520
<v Speaker 9>real quick. The one guy that was surprising yesterday, we

0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:43.520
<v Speaker 9>were thinking Tyron Smith practiced and we were kind of

0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:46.360
<v Speaker 9>thinking that it was one of these practices like whoa,

0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:48.760
<v Speaker 9>whoa wait a minute, now they told us Tyron Smith

0:05:48.839 --> 0:05:50.599
<v Speaker 9>is not going to practice, is Tyron Smith? Because he

0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:53.600
<v Speaker 9>wasn't on the injury report. But it was like a

0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:56.200
<v Speaker 9>walk through practice, is what it was. So it wasn't

0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:57.760
<v Speaker 9>like a real practice.

0:05:58.160 --> 0:05:59.040
<v Speaker 8>It was more of a run.

0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:02.840
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, exactly, it was more of a walk through type

0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:05.520
<v Speaker 9>of a speed practice. So now you're like going, okay,

0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:08.240
<v Speaker 9>you know, because you're thinking, please Tyrant don't get hurt

0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:11.160
<v Speaker 9>in practice because you don't see him on the injury report.

0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:13.280
<v Speaker 8>That was the one that got my attention. But I'm

0:06:13.320 --> 0:06:14.520
<v Speaker 8>glad you brought up a hinder shot.

0:06:14.600 --> 0:06:14.760
<v Speaker 9>Yeah.

0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:14.919
<v Speaker 12>You know.

0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:17.080
<v Speaker 6>The interesting thing about hinder shot and this is this

0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:20.200
<v Speaker 6>is just my own perspective. I had actually until I

0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:22.719
<v Speaker 6>saw the injury report, I'd actually kind of forgotten that

0:06:22.760 --> 0:06:25.640
<v Speaker 6>he wasn't around. That's the hard part about this is

0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:27.560
<v Speaker 6>and that's why I asked the question the way I

0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:28.240
<v Speaker 6>did is how.

0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:28.680
<v Speaker 2>Does he fit?

0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:32.240
<v Speaker 6>Is when someone is gone and realize they're not there

0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:34.680
<v Speaker 6>until they're ready to come back. Then you're like, what

0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:36.960
<v Speaker 6>did they really miss I don't. I don't know that

0:06:37.000 --> 0:06:39.480
<v Speaker 6>there was a role that he had that they missed

0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:42.480
<v Speaker 6>when he wasn't there. And that's the part where I mean,

0:06:42.520 --> 0:06:44.599
<v Speaker 6>it's not like he's the best blocker, it's not like

0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:47.440
<v Speaker 6>he's the best whatever. You know, you can't find that

0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:50.720
<v Speaker 6>role of well without him, they don't have this right

0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:53.279
<v Speaker 6>and that's the part that makes it tough to especially

0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:55.480
<v Speaker 6>in an offense where they got a lot of guys

0:06:55.720 --> 0:06:56.680
<v Speaker 6>wanting the ball, right.

0:06:56.600 --> 0:06:58.440
<v Speaker 2>They got a lot of guys that that should be

0:06:58.440 --> 0:07:00.000
<v Speaker 2>getting the ball. It just makes it tough.

0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:02.720
<v Speaker 9>What happens is when you play games and you manage

0:07:02.760 --> 0:07:06.080
<v Speaker 9>to win and you have success without him, then the

0:07:06.760 --> 0:07:10.080
<v Speaker 9>push to get him back ready to go is not

0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:13.880
<v Speaker 9>that serious. It's like, Okay, we can take our time

0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:17.320
<v Speaker 9>with this a little bit. We don't have to push him,

0:07:17.400 --> 0:07:19.320
<v Speaker 9>you know, try and make it to for him to

0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:20.880
<v Speaker 9>come back potentially a week early.

0:07:21.200 --> 0:07:23.920
<v Speaker 8>We could let this thing ride and then you know,

0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:25.240
<v Speaker 8>when he's ready, he's ready.

0:07:25.320 --> 0:07:27.720
<v Speaker 9>And you know, the cowboys in a way kind of

0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:32.880
<v Speaker 9>I think they really hate making roster moves when it

0:07:33.000 --> 0:07:36.720
<v Speaker 9>comes to taking somebody off the roster completely.

0:07:37.680 --> 0:07:39.280
<v Speaker 8>I don't think they I don't think they're it.

0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:42.520
<v Speaker 9>You know, who's the fifty first guy, who's the fifty

0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:45.240
<v Speaker 9>second guy, who's the fifty third guy.

0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:45.800
<v Speaker 8>They do.

0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:48.400
<v Speaker 9>They love their players. They love their players to the

0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:50.320
<v Speaker 9>point where if somebody were to come back, or they

0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:52.040
<v Speaker 9>had to go claim a guy, or they had to,

0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:54.720
<v Speaker 9>you know, make a move, it is hard for these

0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:58.200
<v Speaker 9>guys to make a move. I don't with the personal guys,

0:07:58.240 --> 0:08:00.640
<v Speaker 9>you know, maybe a little bit more. But the coaches.

0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:04.840
<v Speaker 9>They Mike McCarthy, he loves his team, he loves his guys,

0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:08.240
<v Speaker 9>and so when you start talking about adding guys and

0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:12.240
<v Speaker 9>having to subtract guys that are playing, it's hard for

0:08:12.320 --> 0:08:13.240
<v Speaker 9>these coaches to.

0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:16.240
<v Speaker 8>You know, to get rid of a guy. They just

0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:17.200
<v Speaker 8>don't want to do it.

0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:22.480
<v Speaker 10>But also for the tight end position, Hender Show wasn't

0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:25.680
<v Speaker 10>like the best guy that blocking, so he wasn't here

0:08:25.760 --> 0:08:30.520
<v Speaker 10>to block and that would be more Sean McKeon, and

0:08:30.560 --> 0:08:33.640
<v Speaker 10>then Schoommaker, that was one of his trades.

0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:35.439
<v Speaker 7>I just spit all over the place.

0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:37.560
<v Speaker 8>Schoolmaker will do that to you.

0:08:39.480 --> 0:08:44.040
<v Speaker 7>That's weird, but okay, but them too.

0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:46.520
<v Speaker 10>And then you look at the receiving aspect of things

0:08:46.640 --> 0:08:49.719
<v Speaker 10>catching the ball, it's not They've shown a whole lot

0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:54.880
<v Speaker 10>of priority in targeting Jake Ferguson. So the position itself,

0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:58.560
<v Speaker 10>it's already lacking as far as how much you're using it.

0:08:58.920 --> 0:09:00.560
<v Speaker 10>So it's just it's hard to do you kind of

0:09:00.679 --> 0:09:03.400
<v Speaker 10>really envision a role for him right now in what's

0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:04.280
<v Speaker 10>left of the season.

0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:07.400
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, I was gonna say this if I can offer

0:09:08.360 --> 0:09:12.280
<v Speaker 9>just one of my being wrong about the tight end position.

0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:16.520
<v Speaker 9>I feel like that I was wrong about Schoonmaker in

0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:17.679
<v Speaker 9>a way of him being a.

0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:20.680
<v Speaker 8>Plug and play blocker. I felt like watching.

0:09:20.400 --> 0:09:22.960
<v Speaker 9>Him play at Michigan and the way that they play

0:09:23.000 --> 0:09:24.920
<v Speaker 9>with that physicality and the way they run the ball,

0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:27.120
<v Speaker 9>and you know, they're one of the top four teams

0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:29.680
<v Speaker 9>in the country right now. They still have that physical

0:09:29.679 --> 0:09:33.680
<v Speaker 9>element to him. Where I misevaluated Schoonmaker is that ability,

0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:36.200
<v Speaker 9>not so much is the catching. I thought that the

0:09:36.280 --> 0:09:38.760
<v Speaker 9>catching and part of that would would be there. I

0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:42.960
<v Speaker 9>really he's had some drops that are they're really inexcusable,

0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:46.960
<v Speaker 9>concentration lacks, you know, stuff that you didn't see. Where

0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:49.800
<v Speaker 9>I misevaluated him was plug and play as a blocker.

0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:52.320
<v Speaker 9>I thought he is going to be plug and play

0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:53.839
<v Speaker 9>and they'll be able to run the ball. They'll put

0:09:53.880 --> 0:09:55.840
<v Speaker 9>him in and they'll run the ball behind him and

0:09:55.880 --> 0:09:58.520
<v Speaker 9>he'll be effective and all that. He is far from

0:09:58.520 --> 0:09:59.560
<v Speaker 9>being that guy right now.

0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:01.000
<v Speaker 8>He really really is.

0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:03.160
<v Speaker 9>And if you if you you know, and I know

0:10:03.200 --> 0:10:05.200
<v Speaker 9>there's a lot of people they'll throw the word busts

0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:08.720
<v Speaker 9>and all that, but you know, I just remember Stalton

0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:11.440
<v Speaker 9>Schultz and guys like that that that the first couple

0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:13.920
<v Speaker 9>of years just non factors and then all of a

0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:17.120
<v Speaker 9>sudden they're factors. I'm willing to give Luke Scoonmaker, but

0:10:17.720 --> 0:10:21.400
<v Speaker 9>just me admitting what I thought of the player coming

0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:24.400
<v Speaker 9>out of college was wrong in the way of how

0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:26.680
<v Speaker 9>I thought he can immediately just go in and play,

0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:29.280
<v Speaker 9>and it's been really hard for him in that way.

0:10:29.559 --> 0:10:33.120
<v Speaker 6>Just out of curiosity, where do you have Laporta?

0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:36.840
<v Speaker 8>I had actually Laporta above Schoonmaker and having to stay

0:10:36.920 --> 0:10:37.719
<v Speaker 8>in the second.

0:10:37.559 --> 0:10:39.080
<v Speaker 2>Round and they went close together.

0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:43.240
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, they were. Laporta for Detroit's played really well. The

0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:47.760
<v Speaker 9>kid at Buffalo has played. Kincaid has been Kincaid. You know,

0:10:47.840 --> 0:10:51.760
<v Speaker 9>everybody and everybody pre draft and leading up to even

0:10:51.800 --> 0:10:53.720
<v Speaker 9>moments when we went on the air here in the studio,

0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:57.480
<v Speaker 9>we're thinking that cowboys were going to look at Kinkaid,

0:10:57.520 --> 0:10:59.840
<v Speaker 9>the tied end from Youtubeeah, he was gonna he was

0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:02.200
<v Speaker 9>that Dallas was going to take Concaid. And then all

0:11:02.240 --> 0:11:04.920
<v Speaker 9>of a sudden, some whispers started happening, you know, among

0:11:04.960 --> 0:11:08.200
<v Speaker 9>our group that Laporta was a guy that they really

0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:12.040
<v Speaker 9>really liked from Iowa. And so that's that tidy group

0:11:12.120 --> 0:11:15.240
<v Speaker 9>was actually a really good group, you know. And but

0:11:15.920 --> 0:11:17.920
<v Speaker 9>you know, everybody's looking at all the other ones that

0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:19.920
<v Speaker 9>have been selected, and then they see Scoon Maker and

0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:22.520
<v Speaker 9>then they're going, they missed out on that one. Yeah,

0:11:22.559 --> 0:11:24.520
<v Speaker 9>you know, that's that's when they missed out. Now give

0:11:24.600 --> 0:11:27.720
<v Speaker 9>him an opportunity. But also if you want to blame

0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:31.480
<v Speaker 9>somebody for maybe misevaluate him, look at me. You know,

0:11:31.559 --> 0:11:33.600
<v Speaker 9>I'm willing to say that I thought he could be

0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:34.720
<v Speaker 9>a plug and play player.

0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:36.360
<v Speaker 8>He just can't be that right now.

0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:37.760
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, And I think at the end of the day,

0:11:37.800 --> 0:11:39.640
<v Speaker 6>you hit the nail on the head. From the standpoint,

0:11:39.720 --> 0:11:41.280
<v Speaker 6>we got to get these guys sometimes a little bit

0:11:41.280 --> 0:11:43.839
<v Speaker 6>of time. I think sometimes we see guys coming to

0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:46.800
<v Speaker 6>the NFL and immediately have a splash and so we

0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:48.559
<v Speaker 6>think everybody has to do it right way, and I

0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:50.439
<v Speaker 6>don't think that's necessarily the case. You see a lot

0:11:50.440 --> 0:11:52.240
<v Speaker 6>of good players in the NFL that it takes them

0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:53.120
<v Speaker 6>a little bit to get going.

0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:55.720
<v Speaker 9>Well, that's with Mazzie Smith is a really good example.

0:11:55.840 --> 0:11:58.520
<v Speaker 9>And you know, Mazzie Smith. And we had Brian Baldinger

0:11:58.600 --> 0:12:01.559
<v Speaker 9>on from the NFL Network yesterday day and Brian was

0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:04.480
<v Speaker 9>talking about Mozzie Smith one of his better games, and

0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:06.600
<v Speaker 9>you watched him and you know, and Dan Quinn talked

0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:09.080
<v Speaker 9>about it and all that. And you know, the thing

0:12:09.160 --> 0:12:12.520
<v Speaker 9>with the unfortunate thing for Mozzie Smith is everybody sees

0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:15.360
<v Speaker 9>what Jalen Carter at the Philadelphia Eagles is doing well.

0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:17.640
<v Speaker 9>Jalen Carter at one time, before he got in some

0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:20.599
<v Speaker 9>kind of the off the field situations, a lot of

0:12:20.600 --> 0:12:23.440
<v Speaker 9>people talked about him maybe being the first overall pick, yeah,

0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:26.840
<v Speaker 9>in the draft. And so now you're kind of thinking, well, wow,

0:12:26.880 --> 0:12:30.080
<v Speaker 9>you're comparing Mazzie Smith to Jalen Carter, which is really

0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:34.360
<v Speaker 9>not fair. They're they're both both have similar trades with strength,

0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:37.480
<v Speaker 9>and one is much quicker, more active and all that.

0:12:37.559 --> 0:12:40.720
<v Speaker 9>It's not that Mozzi doesn't can't be Jalen Carter one day.

0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:42.040
<v Speaker 8>But it's just.

0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:45.960
<v Speaker 9>Right now he's he's having to develop a technique and

0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:49.000
<v Speaker 9>play a different style than what Jalen Carter played at

0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:50.720
<v Speaker 9>Georgia and now is playing with the Eagles.

0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:54.080
<v Speaker 6>It's a huge difference in talent and traits of a

0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:56.760
<v Speaker 6>top first round pick and a pick first round pick

0:12:56.760 --> 0:12:58.200
<v Speaker 6>and they live in the mid to late twenties.

0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:00.640
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, twenty different, Yeah twenty one.

0:13:00.840 --> 0:13:03.280
<v Speaker 9>Sometimes pick twenty six is better than pick one, though

0:13:03.480 --> 0:13:06.360
<v Speaker 9>sometimes it Yeah, everyone, you know, every once in a while,

0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:08.520
<v Speaker 9>like pick twenty one, you're like, man, they stole the

0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:10.840
<v Speaker 9>guy here. Yeah, they stole one here. And I think

0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:13.440
<v Speaker 9>Mazie's going to be that type of guy. But I

0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:15.400
<v Speaker 9>just wanted to I just wanted to throw out there

0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:17.760
<v Speaker 9>about what my thoughts were about about Schoonmaker.

0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:19.480
<v Speaker 6>All Right, we're gonna take our first break. We'll come back.

0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:22.319
<v Speaker 6>We'll dive into the Carolina defense. We've got a lot

0:13:22.320 --> 0:13:23.840
<v Speaker 6>of things they got to try to figure out on

0:13:23.920 --> 0:13:26.600
<v Speaker 6>the defense, because although this team doesn't have a great record,

0:13:26.600 --> 0:13:29.440
<v Speaker 6>this defense is performing quite well when you look at

0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:31.720
<v Speaker 6>them ranked relative to other teams in the NFL. We'll

0:13:31.760 --> 0:13:33.360
<v Speaker 6>talk about that when we come back Dallas, Cowboys dot

0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:42.640
<v Speaker 13>online was reliable. And now Todd is trying to be

0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:45.440
<v Speaker 13>faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.

0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:52.800

<v Speaker 6>This segment is brought to you by blockchain dot com.

0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:16.040
<v Speaker 6>All right, let's talk about the Carolina defense. I want

0:16:16.040 --> 0:16:19.440
<v Speaker 6>to start first Brian with their pass rush. Tell me

0:16:19.480 --> 0:16:22.960
<v Speaker 6>who is the the the pass rusher that we should

0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:25.280
<v Speaker 6>be most concerned about this game.

0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:29.600
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, it's Brian Burns and Brian Burns is listed as

0:16:29.640 --> 0:16:32.480
<v Speaker 9>a They play a three four front that's their base

0:16:32.600 --> 0:16:34.720
<v Speaker 9>with the three down linemen and then the linebackers.

0:16:34.760 --> 0:16:36.480
<v Speaker 8>The four linebackers and.

0:16:36.520 --> 0:16:40.840
<v Speaker 9>Brian Burns is primarily their best pass rusher. He's listed

0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:44.400
<v Speaker 9>as a linebacker. It's very similar. I kind of compared

0:16:44.440 --> 0:16:48.480
<v Speaker 9>it to him with what Terrence Steele is going to

0:16:48.560 --> 0:16:51.040
<v Speaker 9>have to deal with when he played against Hassan Reddick.

0:16:51.600 --> 0:16:54.240
<v Speaker 9>That kind of that kind of player, and.

0:16:54.360 --> 0:16:55.360
<v Speaker 8>You're gonna get Burns.

0:16:55.480 --> 0:16:59.320
<v Speaker 9>You know, Reddick plays the one side, but Burns will

0:16:59.320 --> 0:17:02.560
<v Speaker 9>play both. When you look at his where his alignments are,

0:17:02.600 --> 0:17:05.760
<v Speaker 9>it's it's really on both sides. But this guy is

0:17:05.800 --> 0:17:10.520
<v Speaker 9>an extremely productive player when it comes to rushing the

0:17:10.560 --> 0:17:12.280
<v Speaker 9>passer when he gets I mean, he's one of.

0:17:12.280 --> 0:17:13.119
<v Speaker 8>These guys that.

0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:16.560
<v Speaker 9>When you watch him play, you're like, my gosh, how

0:17:16.560 --> 0:17:18.080
<v Speaker 9>they going to stop him here? You know, I mean

0:17:18.400 --> 0:17:21.600
<v Speaker 9>single blocks things like that. I mean, he's he's hard

0:17:21.600 --> 0:17:25.159
<v Speaker 9>to deal with because he's just got His first step

0:17:25.280 --> 0:17:28.080
<v Speaker 9>is just it gets so much ground. So now you're

0:17:28.119 --> 0:17:30.400
<v Speaker 9>a blocker and you're trying to you know, you want

0:17:30.440 --> 0:17:32.480
<v Speaker 9>to get your hands on him, but he's already on

0:17:32.520 --> 0:17:35.199
<v Speaker 9>you because his first step has got to you, and

0:17:35.240 --> 0:17:37.639
<v Speaker 9>now you're struggling to get your hands on him to

0:17:37.680 --> 0:17:41.600
<v Speaker 9>get him on clean. He's like I say, the first step, explosiveness,

0:17:41.920 --> 0:17:44.520
<v Speaker 9>the overall speed, the pass rush moves.

0:17:45.359 --> 0:17:47.359
<v Speaker 8>There's a lot of things that you have to deal with.

0:17:47.400 --> 0:17:49.160
<v Speaker 9>You're gonna have to account for this guy really every

0:17:49.200 --> 0:17:50.200
<v Speaker 9>single play.

0:17:50.320 --> 0:17:52.680
<v Speaker 6>When you look at the Carolina defense in their pass

0:17:52.800 --> 0:17:56.480
<v Speaker 6>rush right now, they are ranked fifth in blitz percentage

0:17:56.520 --> 0:17:58.920
<v Speaker 6>they blitz, they do more than most teams at thirty

0:17:58.960 --> 0:18:01.520
<v Speaker 6>seven point three percent. Right, but he was an interesting part.

0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:04.640
<v Speaker 6>They're thirty first in past in pressure percent right only

0:18:04.680 --> 0:18:05.840
<v Speaker 6>at thirty point eight percent.

0:18:05.840 --> 0:18:06.760
<v Speaker 8>It's a weird defense.

0:18:06.920 --> 0:18:11.320
<v Speaker 6>So my question becomes, is that an indicator that they

0:18:11.359 --> 0:18:15.120
<v Speaker 6>really are much better on the back end, and they

0:18:15.240 --> 0:18:18.480
<v Speaker 6>kind of expose They expose their back into a lot

0:18:18.560 --> 0:18:20.920
<v Speaker 6>because they're blitzing, which means they got less people back

0:18:20.920 --> 0:18:23.240
<v Speaker 6>in coverage and they're not getting home and they're not

0:18:23.280 --> 0:18:24.720
<v Speaker 6>even getting pressure a lot of the times.

0:18:24.880 --> 0:18:28.040
<v Speaker 9>Burns is their best rusher and everybody else I will

0:18:28.080 --> 0:18:31.160
<v Speaker 9>say this, Derek Brown, who plays They've got some big

0:18:31.200 --> 0:18:35.560
<v Speaker 9>body guys, so they're not the best when it comes

0:18:35.600 --> 0:18:39.960
<v Speaker 9>to Burns is the nifty guy. Everybody else are big

0:18:40.080 --> 0:18:45.040
<v Speaker 9>slug guys, big body push guys, and so what happens

0:18:45.200 --> 0:18:47.600
<v Speaker 9>is he's the primary guy.

0:18:47.680 --> 0:18:49.040
<v Speaker 8>So they have to blitz.

0:18:49.600 --> 0:18:52.920
<v Speaker 9>They have to blitz to create other opportunities because none

0:18:52.960 --> 0:18:55.280
<v Speaker 9>of their other down linemen are going to get home

0:18:55.640 --> 0:18:58.560
<v Speaker 9>not that often. It's really really difficuelt Derek Brown's the

0:18:58.560 --> 0:19:01.720
<v Speaker 9>one that's got the best chance to play. He's very

0:19:01.760 --> 0:19:04.159
<v Speaker 9>similar to what they dealt with, in my opinion, to

0:19:04.240 --> 0:19:09.359
<v Speaker 9>Dexter Lawrence. That kind of guy, big body, push, you know,

0:19:09.480 --> 0:19:11.720
<v Speaker 9>can can kind of kind of make some things happen,

0:19:11.760 --> 0:19:13.480
<v Speaker 9>to create you know, he's one of those guys that

0:19:13.520 --> 0:19:16.240
<v Speaker 9>creates a new line of scrimmage the way that he plays.

0:19:16.680 --> 0:19:19.320
<v Speaker 9>But the thing about it is Derek and I was

0:19:19.440 --> 0:19:23.280
<v Speaker 9>curious about this because the metrics will tell you that

0:19:23.440 --> 0:19:27.720
<v Speaker 9>this team faces the least amount of past attempts in

0:19:27.760 --> 0:19:30.199
<v Speaker 9>the league of drop back passes, their last in the

0:19:30.280 --> 0:19:33.479
<v Speaker 9>league when it comes to when it comes to facing

0:19:33.600 --> 0:19:36.640
<v Speaker 9>drop back passes. And I was curious because I was wondering,

0:19:36.720 --> 0:19:39.400
<v Speaker 9>how do they play, how they played so much coverage?

0:19:39.680 --> 0:19:41.000
<v Speaker 8>How much? What's the deal?

0:19:41.320 --> 0:19:44.720
<v Speaker 9>Okay, they've given up, they've given up only only the

0:19:44.840 --> 0:19:48.600
<v Speaker 9>Giants have given up more rushing touchdowns than these guys. Okay,

0:19:48.640 --> 0:19:51.000
<v Speaker 9>the Giants have given up sixteen. They've given up fifteen.

0:19:51.280 --> 0:19:53.520
<v Speaker 9>They've allowed four point three yards and carry. That makes

0:19:53.520 --> 0:19:56.040
<v Speaker 9>them twenty fourth in the league when it comes to

0:19:56.119 --> 0:19:59.600
<v Speaker 9>defending the run. They're ninth in the in the league

0:19:59.640 --> 0:20:03.040
<v Speaker 9>with the most rushing attempts faced. They face the ninth

0:20:03.080 --> 0:20:08.000
<v Speaker 9>most rushing attempts. So what's happening is they're they're they've

0:20:08.040 --> 0:20:11.600
<v Speaker 9>had a problem defending Like outside runs is another thing.

0:20:11.640 --> 0:20:13.800
<v Speaker 9>When you watch them on tape, it's like, oh, balls

0:20:13.840 --> 0:20:16.239
<v Speaker 9>getting to the corner. They're thirtieth in the league when

0:20:16.280 --> 0:20:19.120
<v Speaker 9>it comes to ball on edge. So we saw last

0:20:19.119 --> 0:20:22.440
<v Speaker 9>week with the Cowboys, remember the toss sweeps, trying to

0:20:22.440 --> 0:20:24.240
<v Speaker 9>get the ball on the outside, not run the ball

0:20:24.280 --> 0:20:26.399
<v Speaker 9>at Dexter Lawrence, try and get the ball on the

0:20:26.520 --> 0:20:30.120
<v Speaker 9>edge a little bit more So this team, I think

0:20:30.119 --> 0:20:34.639
<v Speaker 9>they're facing less pass attempts because teams are kind of

0:20:34.640 --> 0:20:36.000
<v Speaker 9>figuring out we could.

0:20:35.920 --> 0:20:38.160
<v Speaker 8>Run the ball and have a little success on them.

0:20:38.640 --> 0:20:40.840
<v Speaker 9>And but but if you look at you look at

0:20:40.840 --> 0:20:44.639
<v Speaker 9>how they play like and this is this is why

0:20:44.640 --> 0:20:46.600
<v Speaker 9>I think is going to happen in this game. Because

0:20:46.600 --> 0:20:49.320
<v Speaker 9>they play that cover three look with the single high safety.

0:20:50.440 --> 0:20:53.320
<v Speaker 9>They're going to teams that are that have big time

0:20:53.359 --> 0:20:59.280
<v Speaker 9>receivers Dolphins, Seattle, Detroit, those teams that have those kind

0:20:59.280 --> 0:21:02.760
<v Speaker 9>of receivers played zone ninety four percent of the time

0:21:02.760 --> 0:21:06.040
<v Speaker 9>against the Dolphins played zone ninety two percent of the

0:21:06.080 --> 0:21:09.439
<v Speaker 9>time versus Seattle played zone eighty three percent of the

0:21:09.440 --> 0:21:12.400
<v Speaker 9>time against Detride. They're gonna play a ton of zone

0:21:12.440 --> 0:21:15.120
<v Speaker 9>in this game against the Cowboys. They're absolutely gonna play

0:21:15.119 --> 0:21:17.359
<v Speaker 9>and they're gonna hope that they can get that they

0:21:17.400 --> 0:21:19.520
<v Speaker 9>can get Brian Burns home, and maybe they're gonna have

0:21:19.520 --> 0:21:23.040
<v Speaker 9>to blitz a little bit more, but they're they're they're

0:21:23.880 --> 0:21:26.200
<v Speaker 9>big blitz down. By the way, too is first down

0:21:26.880 --> 0:21:29.760
<v Speaker 9>that they don't wait till third down to blitch you.

0:21:29.840 --> 0:21:33.080
<v Speaker 9>They come right off the bus first down. They're gonna

0:21:33.080 --> 0:21:33.880
<v Speaker 9>come blitch you there.

0:21:34.400 --> 0:21:35.880
<v Speaker 8>So I kind of feel like.

0:21:37.440 --> 0:21:40.000
<v Speaker 9>I feel like that they they they they wanted. They're

0:21:40.080 --> 0:21:44.159
<v Speaker 9>really really worried about their run defense, you know, but

0:21:44.400 --> 0:21:48.440
<v Speaker 9>they're but people have had success though even though they've

0:21:48.440 --> 0:21:51.240
<v Speaker 9>got the fewest pass attempts. If you look in their

0:21:51.320 --> 0:21:53.960
<v Speaker 9>secondary and you watch their and watch their guys play,

0:21:54.280 --> 0:21:57.000
<v Speaker 9>you know, j C. Horn is coming back and he's

0:21:57.000 --> 0:21:59.359
<v Speaker 9>been out since week one. Now he's there and when

0:21:59.400 --> 0:22:02.760
<v Speaker 9>you watch him, he's their best press man corner. I mean,

0:22:02.800 --> 0:22:05.560
<v Speaker 9>he is the one guy that can lock up a guy,

0:22:05.680 --> 0:22:08.440
<v Speaker 9>like if he gets on CD, he can lock CD

0:22:08.600 --> 0:22:11.360
<v Speaker 9>up because of his ability and ability to turn, to run,

0:22:11.400 --> 0:22:14.920
<v Speaker 9>his size, his length, all those things. But the other

0:22:15.000 --> 0:22:20.000
<v Speaker 9>corners with Dante Jackson and CJ. Henderson, they they get

0:22:20.200 --> 0:22:24.280
<v Speaker 9>a lot of covered snaps. But the quarterback rating against them,

0:22:24.440 --> 0:22:27.159
<v Speaker 9>and you could tell it on tape again is really high.

0:22:27.840 --> 0:22:32.720
<v Speaker 9>One nineteen to six against Jackson, uh one p fifteen

0:22:32.720 --> 0:22:36.959
<v Speaker 9>to nine against Henderson. Teams are having success when they

0:22:37.080 --> 0:22:39.680
<v Speaker 9>pass it. Those guys throwing the ball at him, Yeah,

0:22:39.960 --> 0:22:43.000
<v Speaker 9>you know they're not. It's like not a lot of attempts,

0:22:43.760 --> 0:22:46.000
<v Speaker 9>but teams are having success doing it.

0:22:46.160 --> 0:22:46.359
<v Speaker 8>You know.

0:22:46.720 --> 0:22:49.560
<v Speaker 9>It's a it's a weird thing because maybe the fact

0:22:49.600 --> 0:22:54.280
<v Speaker 9>that they struggle playing run defense actually helps them not

0:22:54.480 --> 0:22:57.840
<v Speaker 9>get exposed as much in past defense.

0:22:58.119 --> 0:23:00.199
<v Speaker 6>You know what I'd also like to figure out on

0:23:00.280 --> 0:23:03.200
<v Speaker 6>that note, is is it because because they have lost

0:23:03.240 --> 0:23:05.239
<v Speaker 6>They've only been two games so far, there are all

0:23:05.280 --> 0:23:07.040
<v Speaker 6>their losses. Yeah, there have only been two of them

0:23:07.040 --> 0:23:11.479
<v Speaker 6>when they lost by less than seven points, right, And

0:23:11.520 --> 0:23:13.399
<v Speaker 6>so it makes me wonder if a lot of the

0:23:13.400 --> 0:23:15.280
<v Speaker 6>fact that teams are running the ball a lot against

0:23:15.320 --> 0:23:17.280
<v Speaker 6>them is based in the fact that you get a

0:23:17.359 --> 0:23:19.639
<v Speaker 6>lead and then you're just trying to run out the

0:23:19.680 --> 0:23:22.000
<v Speaker 6>gains right, and that that does make me wonder if

0:23:22.119 --> 0:23:23.760
<v Speaker 6>that's really the reason. It's not so much that you

0:23:23.760 --> 0:23:25.639
<v Speaker 6>see a weakness in the run defense as much as

0:23:25.640 --> 0:23:27.679
<v Speaker 6>it is it's just that's point of the game and

0:23:27.720 --> 0:23:28.760
<v Speaker 6>you just on a rap the clock.

0:23:28.880 --> 0:23:32.120
<v Speaker 9>That is I clearly think I don't think anybody wants

0:23:32.200 --> 0:23:35.600
<v Speaker 9>to deal with Brian Burns as a rusher. I really don't. Uh,

0:23:35.960 --> 0:23:38.960
<v Speaker 9>But but I've seen teams run the ball at him

0:23:39.320 --> 0:23:43.560
<v Speaker 9>and have success. So it's it's it's it's one of

0:23:43.560 --> 0:23:47.119
<v Speaker 9>those strange things. Is like I remember they came in here,

0:23:47.760 --> 0:23:50.600
<v Speaker 9>I think it was two years ago, maybe three years ago,

0:23:50.960 --> 0:23:54.119
<v Speaker 9>where they were the number one run defense in the

0:23:54.200 --> 0:23:58.680
<v Speaker 9>league and Dallas and Dallas was Dallas was one of

0:23:58.760 --> 0:24:01.159
<v Speaker 9>the top teams running the foot ball as well, and

0:24:01.200 --> 0:24:03.159
<v Speaker 9>it was going to be okay, which was going to happen,

0:24:03.560 --> 0:24:06.240
<v Speaker 9>and Dallas just slammed him in the running game. And

0:24:06.280 --> 0:24:07.880
<v Speaker 9>they came out of here and Dallas had a big

0:24:07.920 --> 0:24:09.359
<v Speaker 9>win and all that stuff like that.

0:24:09.560 --> 0:24:11.000
<v Speaker 8>But they ran the football.

0:24:11.800 --> 0:24:14.320
<v Speaker 9>I think that's a little bit of I think their

0:24:14.359 --> 0:24:18.440
<v Speaker 9>pass defense gets masked because of the struggle. I could

0:24:18.480 --> 0:24:21.080
<v Speaker 9>definitely see now the reason they struggle. I think in

0:24:21.119 --> 0:24:23.639
<v Speaker 9>the running game is they like to and we always

0:24:23.640 --> 0:24:26.440
<v Speaker 9>talk about like move the front because you'll see them.

0:24:26.960 --> 0:24:29.280
<v Speaker 9>You'll see them move all their guys will take a

0:24:29.320 --> 0:24:32.159
<v Speaker 9>step going, say strong, and then they'll try and fill

0:24:32.840 --> 0:24:34.960
<v Speaker 9>with a safety or somebody. So they're trying to cover

0:24:35.040 --> 0:24:38.480
<v Speaker 9>all the gaps, but there's sometimes they don't cover all

0:24:38.520 --> 0:24:40.160
<v Speaker 9>the gaps, and now.

0:24:40.000 --> 0:24:42.480
<v Speaker 8>The ball's through and people are getting yards on.

0:24:42.600 --> 0:24:44.720
<v Speaker 9>I could see Dallas in the running game trying the

0:24:44.760 --> 0:24:47.399
<v Speaker 9>little bit of the edges, but just kind of take

0:24:47.480 --> 0:24:50.600
<v Speaker 9>as blockers, take them where they want to go. If

0:24:50.600 --> 0:24:53.000
<v Speaker 9>they want to go hard to the just move them

0:24:53.040 --> 0:24:56.000
<v Speaker 9>that way and then take the ball behind all the

0:24:56.040 --> 0:24:58.560
<v Speaker 9>movement there. And that's what teams have been able to

0:24:58.600 --> 0:25:02.120
<v Speaker 9>do against this team and and have some success doing it.

0:25:02.320 --> 0:25:04.359
<v Speaker 6>You mentioned the fact that they run a lot of zone.

0:25:04.359 --> 0:25:08.080
<v Speaker 6>They actually, right now second and league percentage of plays

0:25:08.160 --> 0:25:10.800
<v Speaker 6>dropbacks that they play zone about eighty three percent of

0:25:10.840 --> 0:25:13.640
<v Speaker 6>the time at this point, because we've talked about it.

0:25:14.000 --> 0:25:16.040
<v Speaker 6>That is at great games versus teams that play a

0:25:16.040 --> 0:25:18.399
<v Speaker 6>lot of man play a lot of zone. If you

0:25:18.480 --> 0:25:21.120
<v Speaker 6>had to choose which one you think the Cowboys offense

0:25:21.200 --> 0:25:23.200
<v Speaker 6>is more proficient going up against zone or man.

0:25:24.440 --> 0:25:26.800
<v Speaker 9>I kind of feel like that, man, it seems like

0:25:26.840 --> 0:25:28.240
<v Speaker 9>they make a lot of big plays and they play

0:25:28.359 --> 0:25:31.080
<v Speaker 9>man coverage place against these guys, do you know when

0:25:31.119 --> 0:25:34.480
<v Speaker 9>they when the ability to I know the San Francisco

0:25:34.560 --> 0:25:36.760
<v Speaker 9>game was a little bit different because of the man.

0:25:36.880 --> 0:25:37.440
<v Speaker 8>I mean they didn't.

0:25:37.440 --> 0:25:39.679
<v Speaker 9>I don't think they expected San Francisco to play as

0:25:39.760 --> 0:25:42.240
<v Speaker 9>much man coverage. But man, they seem like they make

0:25:42.320 --> 0:25:46.320
<v Speaker 9>some huge chunk plays when it's when they're dealing with

0:25:46.400 --> 0:25:49.240
<v Speaker 9>their running guys through. You know, maybe they're using their

0:25:49.240 --> 0:25:52.040
<v Speaker 9>picks and their rubs. But it seems like to me

0:25:52.160 --> 0:25:56.040
<v Speaker 9>the separation that that you know that Lamb has been

0:25:56.080 --> 0:25:58.680
<v Speaker 9>able to get cooks last week in the game. With

0:25:58.680 --> 0:26:04.000
<v Speaker 9>the separation, I do feel like to me, just what

0:26:04.080 --> 0:26:07.240
<v Speaker 9>I pointed out, I think the I think they're nervous

0:26:07.280 --> 0:26:10.720
<v Speaker 9>about Dallas's secondary. I think you're gonna see a ton

0:26:10.760 --> 0:26:13.159
<v Speaker 9>of zone in this game, just because that's in me

0:26:13.400 --> 0:26:15.520
<v Speaker 9>just going back, I'm like, okay, wait, okay, they play

0:26:15.560 --> 0:26:17.160
<v Speaker 9>a lot of his own, but who are they playing

0:26:17.160 --> 0:26:21.159
<v Speaker 9>it against. You know, look at Miami. Miami has weapons,

0:26:21.280 --> 0:26:24.600
<v Speaker 9>yea speed. You know they're trying not to give up

0:26:24.600 --> 0:26:26.600
<v Speaker 9>the big play. The thing when you're playing the Cowboys.

0:26:26.600 --> 0:26:29.240
<v Speaker 9>You got to worry about the big plays. I think

0:26:29.280 --> 0:26:31.800
<v Speaker 9>the DAK I think they're going to play. But we'll

0:26:31.800 --> 0:26:34.560
<v Speaker 9>say with j. C. Horn being back, the Hord could

0:26:34.880 --> 0:26:36.880
<v Speaker 9>Hord could be great, or he could have a lot

0:26:36.920 --> 0:26:39.639
<v Speaker 9>of rust. You know, the Russ factor could be a

0:26:39.640 --> 0:26:42.520
<v Speaker 9>factor here. But he is the one guy that I

0:26:42.640 --> 0:26:45.800
<v Speaker 9>feel like that they said, Okay, we're going to try

0:26:45.840 --> 0:26:46.800
<v Speaker 9>and take Ceede.

0:26:46.960 --> 0:26:48.159
<v Speaker 8>Lamb out of this game.

0:26:48.800 --> 0:26:52.160
<v Speaker 9>He's the one guy I think could go with Lamb

0:26:52.600 --> 0:26:54.120
<v Speaker 9>and battle him the whole game.

0:26:54.200 --> 0:26:56.399
<v Speaker 8>I don't think Jackson or Anderson can do that.

0:26:57.040 --> 0:27:00.160
<v Speaker 10>So let's let's go through the last four weeks where

0:27:01.040 --> 0:27:04.679
<v Speaker 10>they've started changing offensively and being more productive. So against

0:27:04.720 --> 0:27:06.800
<v Speaker 10>the Chargers, what did they face there?

0:27:07.320 --> 0:27:10.040
<v Speaker 8>It's more more zone coverage.

0:27:09.680 --> 0:27:17.399
<v Speaker 3>There Rams that was zone, Eagles, that was that was

0:27:17.520 --> 0:27:20.439
<v Speaker 3>both but that was more man than zone.

0:27:21.160 --> 0:27:23.040
<v Speaker 8>And then Giants, Yeah, a lot of so.

0:27:23.240 --> 0:27:25.520
<v Speaker 6>Well, I think the other thing to consider is they've

0:27:25.560 --> 0:27:29.359
<v Speaker 6>played man differently. Like what I mean by that is

0:27:29.640 --> 0:27:31.560
<v Speaker 6>the Cowboys over the last four weeks, really after the

0:27:31.560 --> 0:27:34.320
<v Speaker 6>San Francisco game, they basically changed their offensive bit to

0:27:34.359 --> 0:27:36.160
<v Speaker 6>where they now got a ton of motion.

0:27:36.560 --> 0:27:38.280
<v Speaker 2>And it's what we talked about a right.

0:27:38.480 --> 0:27:42.119
<v Speaker 6>You're there's no motion there are there's no compression sets,

0:27:42.320 --> 0:27:45.600
<v Speaker 6>Like they're not doing the things that create opportunities for

0:27:45.640 --> 0:27:47.479
<v Speaker 6>you to take advantage of man press and not let

0:27:47.560 --> 0:27:49.040
<v Speaker 6>them be able to get their hands on a clean

0:27:49.119 --> 0:27:52.840
<v Speaker 6>press on the receivers. After that game, I don't remember

0:27:52.880 --> 0:27:55.760
<v Speaker 6>what the percentage was, but it's like some crazy jump

0:27:55.800 --> 0:27:58.359
<v Speaker 6>in percentage of plays where they have pre snap motion

0:27:59.240 --> 0:28:01.800
<v Speaker 6>now versus or the last four games versus what they

0:28:01.800 --> 0:28:02.880
<v Speaker 6>were doing against San Francisco.

0:28:03.040 --> 0:28:04.919
<v Speaker 9>Talking about yourself, there's something in my scouting bag I

0:28:04.960 --> 0:28:06.760
<v Speaker 9>want to grab. It's a piece of paper talking about you.

0:28:07.040 --> 0:28:08.760
<v Speaker 2>But I think that's really the point.

0:28:08.800 --> 0:28:11.480
<v Speaker 6>If you want to talk about like where the difference is,

0:28:11.960 --> 0:28:14.240
<v Speaker 6>you can't even really say like they were playing man

0:28:14.280 --> 0:28:17.080
<v Speaker 6>here versus man earlier in the season, because how they

0:28:17.320 --> 0:28:18.879
<v Speaker 6>how they are attacking man is different.

0:28:19.040 --> 0:28:22.800
<v Speaker 10>You would say, it's not so much what the opponent

0:28:23.000 --> 0:28:26.720
<v Speaker 10>is doing defensively, is more so what the Cowboys have

0:28:26.800 --> 0:28:28.720
<v Speaker 10>been able to start incorporating.

0:28:28.920 --> 0:28:31.600
<v Speaker 6>That's my that is my thought, because again, I feel

0:28:31.600 --> 0:28:34.600
<v Speaker 6>like they against San Francisco, they weren't doing the things

0:28:34.960 --> 0:28:37.760
<v Speaker 6>that you typically would want to do when you're placing

0:28:37.760 --> 0:28:40.000
<v Speaker 6>it playing a team that's playing press man coverage.

0:28:40.120 --> 0:28:41.160
<v Speaker 2>Their corners aren't great.

0:28:41.160 --> 0:28:43.560
<v Speaker 6>In San Francisco, they just played something I don't think

0:28:43.600 --> 0:28:47.360
<v Speaker 6>Dallas was necessarily were and in that way, they didn't

0:28:47.400 --> 0:28:49.960
<v Speaker 6>do the things that they probably should be doing. And

0:28:50.000 --> 0:28:53.040
<v Speaker 6>as we see after that game, they now have incorporated

0:28:53.160 --> 0:28:55.040
<v Speaker 6>incorporated those things into their their offense.

0:28:55.120 --> 0:28:56.920
<v Speaker 9>I did a little project and I've stood a grabbed

0:28:56.920 --> 0:28:58.960
<v Speaker 9>my notes when I did it of Ceede Lamb of

0:28:59.040 --> 0:29:02.440
<v Speaker 9>the you know, he's targeted eighty six times and he's

0:29:02.440 --> 0:29:06.360
<v Speaker 9>got sixty eight receptions in those times. How many times

0:29:06.440 --> 0:29:11.480
<v Speaker 9>you think that he's he's face Okay, he's faced h

0:29:12.400 --> 0:29:18.120
<v Speaker 9>single coverage. He's got forty eight receptions against single coverage,

0:29:18.800 --> 0:29:22.160
<v Speaker 9>and he's got twenty receptions against double coverage.

0:29:23.200 --> 0:29:24.560
<v Speaker 8>So that's of his sixty eight.

0:29:24.680 --> 0:29:27.960
<v Speaker 9>So when you watch him play teams trying to take

0:29:28.040 --> 0:29:29.760
<v Speaker 9>him at you know, if you try and double him,

0:29:30.080 --> 0:29:34.640
<v Speaker 9>he's he's seen twenty six double coverage snaps.

0:29:36.120 --> 0:29:37.240
<v Speaker 8>And he's caught twenty of them.

0:29:37.880 --> 0:29:38.479
<v Speaker 2>That's amazing.

0:29:38.520 --> 0:29:39.440
<v Speaker 8>See that's what I'm saying.

0:29:39.520 --> 0:29:42.400
<v Speaker 9>That's that's the that's the issues that you deal with

0:29:42.440 --> 0:29:45.440
<v Speaker 9>when you're trying to play ceed Lamb. You're trying to

0:29:45.480 --> 0:29:48.200
<v Speaker 9>think move him around, which they've done a great job

0:29:48.240 --> 0:29:50.200
<v Speaker 9>of doing. You could go back on the next gen

0:29:50.280 --> 0:29:53.040
<v Speaker 9>and watch and they and he's never really in the

0:29:53.040 --> 0:29:54.120
<v Speaker 9>same spot over.

0:29:54.320 --> 0:29:56.040
<v Speaker 8>I mean, you look at all his targets.

0:29:56.040 --> 0:29:58.360
<v Speaker 6>So if you're going to travel now, you're messing up

0:29:58.360 --> 0:29:59.160
<v Speaker 6>your whole defense.

0:29:59.400 --> 0:30:02.720
<v Speaker 9>You're messing up hole exactly exactly. So it was sixty

0:30:02.760 --> 0:30:05.920
<v Speaker 9>eight receptions. Like I said, it was that it doesn't

0:30:05.960 --> 0:30:08.880
<v Speaker 9>matter whether you single cover him or double cover him.

0:30:08.920 --> 0:30:10.920
<v Speaker 8>He's going to he's going to make place.

0:30:11.880 --> 0:30:12.520
<v Speaker 6>Do you remember.

0:30:12.560 --> 0:30:16.960
<v Speaker 10>I can't remember, but starting from forty nine ers and

0:30:17.280 --> 0:30:20.960
<v Speaker 10>before that, were they still moving him around?

0:30:21.080 --> 0:30:24.720
<v Speaker 9>Oh, I felt like it was more static with whether

0:30:24.840 --> 0:30:27.320
<v Speaker 9>we were playing. I mean just you know, okay, the

0:30:27.440 --> 0:30:31.160
<v Speaker 9>tight formations, slants and things like that. It felt like

0:30:31.200 --> 0:30:36.120
<v Speaker 9>to me there might not have been as much with that.

0:30:36.200 --> 0:30:39.040
<v Speaker 9>I mean, there's some these the games after San Francisco

0:30:39.040 --> 0:30:41.680
<v Speaker 9>are the ones that are really noticeable where I had

0:30:41.680 --> 0:30:44.160
<v Speaker 9>to find me, no, no, where I had to find him.

0:30:44.240 --> 0:30:46.440
<v Speaker 9>Like when you after the San Francisco there are times

0:30:46.440 --> 0:30:48.040
<v Speaker 9>you could watch and you're like, Okay, he's going to

0:30:48.080 --> 0:30:49.960
<v Speaker 9>be there, He's going to be there, He's going to

0:30:50.040 --> 0:30:52.680
<v Speaker 9>be there. He's okay, he's there, and then after San

0:30:52.680 --> 0:30:56.440
<v Speaker 9>Francisco was like, oh no, that's that. Yeah, that's oh,

0:30:56.480 --> 0:30:59.120
<v Speaker 9>that's that's Cooks. Okay, wait yeah, now you're looking for

0:30:59.120 --> 0:31:01.800
<v Speaker 9>his shoes. I know he wears like blue shoes, so

0:31:01.840 --> 0:31:04.040
<v Speaker 9>now you're looking for the blue shoes in the formation,

0:31:04.600 --> 0:31:06.959
<v Speaker 9>you know, and they're moving them around and bringing him

0:31:06.960 --> 0:31:10.160
<v Speaker 9>in motion and things like that. So the San Francisco

0:31:10.280 --> 0:31:14.720
<v Speaker 9>game really turned this group around, whether it was CD

0:31:14.920 --> 0:31:18.200
<v Speaker 9>going to Dak and saying, bro, come on, we gotta

0:31:18.200 --> 0:31:21.400
<v Speaker 9>do something different here. Because you watch you watch Ceedee

0:31:21.440 --> 0:31:25.600
<v Speaker 9>Lamb's game against San Francisco, it was like it is

0:31:25.680 --> 0:31:29.720
<v Speaker 9>so just ordinary, and after that it's been like all

0:31:29.760 --> 0:31:30.360
<v Speaker 9>pro it.

0:31:30.480 --> 0:31:34.000
<v Speaker 6>Honestly, is the one thing that gives me some hope

0:31:34.360 --> 0:31:36.560
<v Speaker 6>that the Cowboys, if they have to face the forty

0:31:36.640 --> 0:31:40.000
<v Speaker 6>nine ers in the playoffs, can change the tide of

0:31:40.000 --> 0:31:42.440
<v Speaker 6>what's been happening the last several times that they've played them,

0:31:42.560 --> 0:31:46.120
<v Speaker 6>is if they would have employed then what they've been

0:31:46.160 --> 0:31:49.280
<v Speaker 6>employing against these other teams. I really want to see.

0:31:49.320 --> 0:31:51.080
<v Speaker 6>Now again, your defense is still gonna have to make

0:31:51.080 --> 0:31:52.800
<v Speaker 6>some stops in it. In that game, they just didn't.

0:31:52.800 --> 0:31:54.800
<v Speaker 6>They not either, So the defense still got to pull

0:31:54.800 --> 0:31:56.840
<v Speaker 6>their weight on that. But I do think the offense

0:31:56.880 --> 0:31:58.800
<v Speaker 6>can score more points than they scored in that game,

0:31:58.880 --> 0:32:01.240
<v Speaker 6>obviously doing the things that they've been doing over the

0:32:01.320 --> 0:32:03.280
<v Speaker 6>last four weeks. All Right, we're gonna take our final break.

0:32:03.280 --> 0:32:05.640
<v Speaker 6>We'll come back talk a little bit about this Dallas offense.

0:32:05.760 --> 0:32:07.120
<v Speaker 6>We may even get a question in or two.

0:32:07.160 --> 0:32:07.520
<v Speaker 8>We'll see.

0:32:07.560 --> 0:32:09.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm back Dallas Cowboys dot Com Radio.

0:32:10.560 --> 0:32:12.240
<v Speaker 13>Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the

0:32:12.320 --> 0:32:15.240
<v Speaker 13>Cheatah Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat repellent he bought

0:32:15.280 --> 0:32:18.200
<v Speaker 13>online was reliable, and now Todd is trying to be

0:32:18.240 --> 0:32:20.880
<v Speaker 13>faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.

0:32:21.520 --> 0:32:23.240
<v Speaker 13>But the good news is Todd has AT and T

0:32:23.360 --> 0:32:26.000
<v Speaker 13>five G. It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he

0:32:26.160 --> 0:32:28.320
<v Speaker 13>learned the best thing to do is stop running and

0:32:28.480 --> 0:32:31.000
<v Speaker 13>toss her the backpack with the beef stew At and

0:32:31.040 --> 0:32:34.680

<v Speaker 2>At the Star.

0:34:36.760 --> 0:34:39.520
<v Speaker 6>I'm actually gonna start this segment with a question from

0:34:39.560 --> 0:34:43.719
<v Speaker 6>one of our listeners. Mister test Tasty Beverage is his

0:34:43.840 --> 0:34:46.880
<v Speaker 6>handle on Twitter. His question is do you think the

0:34:46.920 --> 0:34:49.680
<v Speaker 6>combo of cooks and CD will allow the run game

0:34:49.719 --> 0:34:53.520
<v Speaker 6>to get going with the panther panthers and commanders coming up?

0:34:54.000 --> 0:34:55.719
<v Speaker 6>When you think about it, one of the things that

0:34:56.040 --> 0:34:58.040
<v Speaker 6>I think going into the season, I think most teams

0:34:58.080 --> 0:34:59.920
<v Speaker 6>probably looked at the Cowboys and said, you got us

0:35:00.120 --> 0:35:02.880
<v Speaker 6>up the run first, and now that the offense is

0:35:02.880 --> 0:35:04.680
<v Speaker 6>starting to explode in the passing game, you.

0:35:04.719 --> 0:35:05.960
<v Speaker 2>Got to see you think that flips it.

0:35:06.080 --> 0:35:07.160
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, you got to say.

0:35:07.640 --> 0:35:09.680
<v Speaker 9>The one thing the Cowboys have proven that they could

0:35:09.680 --> 0:35:11.719
<v Speaker 9>do is throw the ball and throw it effectively. You

0:35:11.840 --> 0:35:14.160
<v Speaker 9>have to be terrified if you're a defensive coordinator their

0:35:14.239 --> 0:35:16.200
<v Speaker 9>chunk plays, the big plays, I.

0:35:16.160 --> 0:35:17.640
<v Speaker 8>Mean they will, they will.

0:35:17.800 --> 0:35:21.160
<v Speaker 9>They'll route combo you to the point where you lose

0:35:21.200 --> 0:35:24.120
<v Speaker 9>track of where your guy is. They'll make it confusing

0:35:24.120 --> 0:35:25.680
<v Speaker 9>for you, will make it hard for you. And then

0:35:25.719 --> 0:35:27.680
<v Speaker 9>you know you'll see a play like up the sideline

0:35:27.680 --> 0:35:30.399
<v Speaker 9>where you know, ceedee, Lamb's wide open. You know they

0:35:30.440 --> 0:35:34.319
<v Speaker 9>lose the Giants lose coverage with the route combination. Next

0:35:34.360 --> 0:35:36.520
<v Speaker 9>thing you know, here's Lamb going up the sidelines. Ball

0:35:36.640 --> 0:35:39.439
<v Speaker 9>Dak finds him. You know that kind of thing. So yeah,

0:35:39.719 --> 0:35:41.960
<v Speaker 9>it if you're the if you're a defensive corner, that

0:35:42.040 --> 0:35:45.440
<v Speaker 9>Carolina has to be worried about Dallas's ability to throw

0:35:45.480 --> 0:35:46.440
<v Speaker 9>the football.

0:35:46.360 --> 0:35:46.960
<v Speaker 8>And the run.

0:35:47.080 --> 0:35:49.880
<v Speaker 9>I mean, if the if the Cowboys are running the

0:35:49.920 --> 0:35:52.440
<v Speaker 9>ball and I hate to say this, it's almost a

0:35:52.440 --> 0:35:56.399
<v Speaker 9>wasted play really, if you think about it, if you're

0:35:56.440 --> 0:35:58.960
<v Speaker 9>if you're going to average lake, you know, three point

0:35:58.960 --> 0:36:00.719
<v Speaker 9>a to carry on it or or something like that,

0:36:01.080 --> 0:36:02.319
<v Speaker 9>it's almost a wasted play.

0:36:02.360 --> 0:36:04.560
<v Speaker 2>And on average you're hitting six, seven, eight, and then

0:36:04.640 --> 0:36:05.319
<v Speaker 2>Dak still the.

0:36:05.280 --> 0:36:07.840
<v Speaker 8>Ball, Dack still the ball where he's nine yards shot

0:36:07.960 --> 0:36:08.839
<v Speaker 8>throwing it. Yeah.

0:36:09.200 --> 0:36:12.000
<v Speaker 9>Nah, I mean if you're you're scared to death of

0:36:12.080 --> 0:36:13.960
<v Speaker 9>Dallas throwing the ball, you really are.

0:36:14.080 --> 0:36:16.760
<v Speaker 6>And when he's completing seventy eighty percent of his throws,

0:36:16.840 --> 0:36:20.120
<v Speaker 6>like that's a crazy percentage completion percentage number. But when

0:36:20.120 --> 0:36:22.480
<v Speaker 6>he's up there in the seventies like it is, it's

0:36:22.520 --> 0:36:24.560
<v Speaker 6>a situation where you take your chances three out of

0:36:24.560 --> 0:36:27.279
<v Speaker 6>four times he's gonna connect on that pass. A run

0:36:27.320 --> 0:36:28.840
<v Speaker 6>does tend to be a little bit like is it

0:36:28.920 --> 0:36:30.319
<v Speaker 6>worth the run?

0:36:30.440 --> 0:36:30.799
<v Speaker 8>Run? Right?

0:36:30.920 --> 0:36:33.000
<v Speaker 9>I mean, if you run the ball or trying, if

0:36:33.040 --> 0:36:35.719
<v Speaker 9>Dallas runs the ball against you, and you know you

0:36:35.840 --> 0:36:38.640
<v Speaker 9>then they get just their average. You're okay with that?

0:36:39.200 --> 0:36:41.440
<v Speaker 9>You know, you're not okay with giving up a thirty

0:36:41.480 --> 0:36:44.200
<v Speaker 9>seven yard pass to Cooks, you know, or giving up

0:36:44.239 --> 0:36:47.319
<v Speaker 9>a forty one yard pass to Gallop. You know you're

0:36:47.360 --> 0:36:50.080
<v Speaker 9>not that, that's not that's not winning football right there.

0:36:50.120 --> 0:36:51.480
<v Speaker 7>Well, let's be positive.

0:36:52.040 --> 0:36:53.560
<v Speaker 8>You know me, what about the running game?

0:36:53.640 --> 0:36:56.640
<v Speaker 10>You know me, I'm gonna say, no, I'm what I'm

0:36:56.680 --> 0:37:02.040
<v Speaker 10>trying to say. If let's say, defenses are now focusing

0:37:02.080 --> 0:37:06.640
<v Speaker 10>more in stopping the passing game and stopping CD Brendan Cooks,

0:37:07.200 --> 0:37:13.200
<v Speaker 10>maybe that forces you to get better af freaking running

0:37:13.200 --> 0:37:16.200
<v Speaker 10>the ball. You know, like now you're being forced to

0:37:16.320 --> 0:37:18.799
<v Speaker 10>really really put a lot of And that's not to

0:37:18.840 --> 0:37:22.040
<v Speaker 10>say that like they're not putting effort in trying to

0:37:22.080 --> 0:37:25.439
<v Speaker 10>improve the running game and all of that, but by

0:37:25.480 --> 0:37:28.120
<v Speaker 10>doing it. This is my focus in the first in

0:37:28.160 --> 0:37:30.920
<v Speaker 10>the next two weeks really before we get to Seattle,

0:37:31.400 --> 0:37:34.640
<v Speaker 10>because that's when things start getting interesting. But this next

0:37:34.640 --> 0:37:38.200
<v Speaker 10>two weeks, it's a running game. How much can they

0:37:38.239 --> 0:37:41.759
<v Speaker 10>improve And we've talked about it already yesterday, what that

0:37:41.840 --> 0:37:44.560
<v Speaker 10>December month can look like and they have to they

0:37:44.800 --> 0:37:47.640
<v Speaker 10>If that means someone's forcing them to run the ball

0:37:47.840 --> 0:37:52.759
<v Speaker 10>to maybe force them to figure things out, then I

0:37:52.760 --> 0:37:55.000
<v Speaker 10>would take that, obviously if it means a win at

0:37:55.000 --> 0:37:58.120
<v Speaker 10>the end of the day. But they just they have

0:37:58.200 --> 0:38:01.520
<v Speaker 10>to find some type of balance. I love, absolutely love

0:38:01.560 --> 0:38:03.680
<v Speaker 10>everything they're doing in the passing game, but at some

0:38:03.760 --> 0:38:06.040
<v Speaker 10>point you're going to have to be able to move

0:38:06.080 --> 0:38:06.439
<v Speaker 10>the ball.

0:38:06.640 --> 0:38:08.759
<v Speaker 8>Yeah on the ground, I hope I'm not hot taking this.

0:38:09.440 --> 0:38:13.359
<v Speaker 8>I would start doubtle over Pollard is what I would do.

0:38:13.560 --> 0:38:15.839
<v Speaker 9>I think there comes a point in time where if

0:38:15.880 --> 0:38:18.279
<v Speaker 9>you can establish what you want to do ambar early

0:38:18.320 --> 0:38:20.439
<v Speaker 9>in the game, all of a sudden you find a way,

0:38:20.920 --> 0:38:23.960
<v Speaker 9>like Dawbell breaks a couple of runs. You know, it's

0:38:24.200 --> 0:38:26.080
<v Speaker 9>it's a four and a half yard, it's a five yards,

0:38:26.080 --> 0:38:27.880
<v Speaker 9>a seven yards and eight yard. You know, they're kind

0:38:27.920 --> 0:38:30.319
<v Speaker 9>of running the ball that way. And I'm not saying

0:38:30.360 --> 0:38:33.239
<v Speaker 9>it has to be like when Zeke was was here

0:38:33.280 --> 0:38:35.960
<v Speaker 9>and then they'd put Tony in in the second series

0:38:36.000 --> 0:38:38.880
<v Speaker 9>and all that. I'm not talking about that run it,

0:38:39.280 --> 0:38:42.719
<v Speaker 9>run it, run it. Put Pollard in, run it, put

0:38:42.760 --> 0:38:44.759
<v Speaker 9>Pollard in again. You know, kind of find a way

0:38:44.800 --> 0:38:46.959
<v Speaker 9>to kind of find a little rhythm with the running game.

0:38:47.239 --> 0:38:49.359
<v Speaker 9>It doesn't have to be a series the serious thing.

0:38:49.920 --> 0:38:53.160
<v Speaker 9>But I think starting Pollard, I think Patrick's onto something

0:38:53.200 --> 0:38:56.560
<v Speaker 9>about the pressure that Pollard is feeling about being the

0:38:56.600 --> 0:39:01.279
<v Speaker 9>primary back, and we maybe if you allow doubt and

0:39:01.320 --> 0:39:05.680
<v Speaker 9>this is the first time that Dowdell has been healthy throughout,

0:39:06.080 --> 0:39:08.520
<v Speaker 9>you know, and knock on wood that it stays that way.

0:39:09.080 --> 0:39:11.360
<v Speaker 9>But I kind of feel like though, that if you

0:39:11.400 --> 0:39:13.600
<v Speaker 9>can find a little rhythm early in the game and

0:39:13.640 --> 0:39:16.640
<v Speaker 9>get the offensive line a little some good feeling about

0:39:16.840 --> 0:39:19.120
<v Speaker 9>and find a couple of plays that you can run

0:39:19.360 --> 0:39:20.759
<v Speaker 9>that you know, okay, they can't.

0:39:20.480 --> 0:39:22.520
<v Speaker 8>Stop this play today, kind of.

0:39:22.520 --> 0:39:25.000
<v Speaker 9>Find that play, find those two or three plays, run

0:39:25.000 --> 0:39:27.520
<v Speaker 9>those plays, and just kind of wear that team out

0:39:27.600 --> 0:39:31.839
<v Speaker 9>doing it. But maybe Pollard being the starter is kind

0:39:31.880 --> 0:39:34.879
<v Speaker 9>of put you back a little bit in your running game.

0:39:35.160 --> 0:39:35.359
<v Speaker 8>Yeah.

0:39:35.360 --> 0:39:39.160
<v Speaker 6>I just think even if teams decide that they want

0:39:39.160 --> 0:39:42.600
<v Speaker 6>to have more people in coverage and say we're gonna

0:39:42.600 --> 0:39:46.160
<v Speaker 6>stop the passing game more, I'm still not certain that

0:39:46.160 --> 0:39:48.520
<v Speaker 6>this running game is gonna get a big boost because

0:39:48.520 --> 0:39:50.040
<v Speaker 6>one of the things I've seen, and I'd be interested

0:39:50.040 --> 0:39:51.960
<v Speaker 6>to see if Brian you've seen the same thing when

0:39:51.960 --> 0:39:53.920
<v Speaker 6>you've watched the film. But one of the things I've

0:39:53.960 --> 0:39:56.360
<v Speaker 6>seen is it feels like there are a number of

0:39:56.400 --> 0:39:59.560
<v Speaker 6>times when their runs aren't successful, and it's not because

0:39:59.800 --> 0:40:02.080
<v Speaker 6>the guy didn't get to the second level. It's because

0:40:02.600 --> 0:40:06.080
<v Speaker 6>engage with the guy. The lineman lineman sees you, they're

0:40:06.080 --> 0:40:08.480
<v Speaker 6>holding you, they shed the block, they make the tack

0:40:08.560 --> 0:40:12.040
<v Speaker 6>right like we've I've seen, It's not just it's not

0:40:12.120 --> 0:40:14.600
<v Speaker 6>just a situation where if the linebacker's out of place,

0:40:14.640 --> 0:40:16.200
<v Speaker 6>all of a sudden, now the running game takes off.

0:40:16.320 --> 0:40:16.480
<v Speaker 8>Right.

0:40:16.560 --> 0:40:18.279
<v Speaker 6>I don't know that that's necessarily the case, because I

0:40:18.280 --> 0:40:20.760
<v Speaker 6>think right now, for me, a lot of the challenges

0:40:20.800 --> 0:40:24.040
<v Speaker 6>with the running game exist with the offensive line just

0:40:24.120 --> 0:40:25.240
<v Speaker 6>not sustaining blocks.

0:40:25.480 --> 0:40:25.760
<v Speaker 8>See.

0:40:26.120 --> 0:40:28.200
<v Speaker 9>I think you make a really good point because there,

0:40:28.200 --> 0:40:30.920
<v Speaker 9>but I also remember, and you and I we all

0:40:31.000 --> 0:40:36.240
<v Speaker 9>watched this play where the hole was inside on the Okay,

0:40:36.680 --> 0:40:42.000
<v Speaker 9>they they're pulling guys, and you know, uh, Schoonmaker gets stalemated.

0:40:42.640 --> 0:40:43.839
<v Speaker 8>Uh the uh.

0:40:45.440 --> 0:40:49.200
<v Speaker 9>Gets knocked down. Smith gets kind of in muddy water there.

0:40:49.239 --> 0:40:51.759
<v Speaker 9>He can't do what he needs to do. But all

0:40:51.800 --> 0:40:54.400
<v Speaker 9>of a sudden, they've got the backside sealed off and

0:40:54.480 --> 0:40:56.799
<v Speaker 9>there's a hole where he can hit that hole where

0:40:56.840 --> 0:41:01.040
<v Speaker 9>Polar also goes into the fray, goes into the fray

0:41:01.520 --> 0:41:03.560
<v Speaker 9>where if you just if you hit it a little

0:41:03.640 --> 0:41:08.439
<v Speaker 9>quicker behind the scoop block that they had gotten there,

0:41:08.920 --> 0:41:12.320
<v Speaker 9>then maybe there's a there's a six seven yard gain there.

0:41:12.840 --> 0:41:15.560
<v Speaker 9>Poward's got to help the offensive line too, you know,

0:41:15.600 --> 0:41:18.520
<v Speaker 9>if they if things are cluttered and muddied and all that.

0:41:19.160 --> 0:41:21.680
<v Speaker 9>His vision and his quickness has got to be able

0:41:21.680 --> 0:41:24.400
<v Speaker 9>to help the offensive line when it's not block clean.

0:41:24.760 --> 0:41:27.120
<v Speaker 9>And that's where I think Daubtle's different. I think when

0:41:27.160 --> 0:41:30.840
<v Speaker 9>it's not block clean, you can find it.

0:41:30.920 --> 0:41:32.279
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, And that's the thing. That's the thing.

0:41:32.360 --> 0:41:36.359
<v Speaker 10>You're starting to become one dimensional and that's not good. Like,

0:41:36.440 --> 0:41:38.319
<v Speaker 10>you have to be able to put on tape a

0:41:38.360 --> 0:41:41.200
<v Speaker 10>few plays because right now, I don't think.

0:41:41.040 --> 0:41:42.719
<v Speaker 8>Any nobody is scared of running a game.

0:41:42.760 --> 0:41:43.120
<v Speaker 7>Exactly.

0:41:43.120 --> 0:41:45.839
<v Speaker 10>Nobody's scared of you of the running game. Nobody is

0:41:46.160 --> 0:41:49.040
<v Speaker 10>looking at that as a threat. So you have to

0:41:49.080 --> 0:41:50.840
<v Speaker 10>put something on tape a few plays.

0:41:51.120 --> 0:41:53.399
<v Speaker 6>Yes, I think that is the traditional way you look

0:41:53.440 --> 0:41:55.719
<v Speaker 6>at football. But right now, if you go across the

0:41:55.719 --> 0:41:58.000
<v Speaker 6>best teams in the NFL, which ones of them have

0:41:58.080 --> 0:41:59.280
<v Speaker 6>a scary running attack?

0:42:01.360 --> 0:42:03.040
<v Speaker 16>Uh?

0:42:03.520 --> 0:42:06.279
<v Speaker 8>I think I would worry when you're about the top teams.

0:42:06.080 --> 0:42:07.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm talking about the top teams in Miami.

0:42:07.960 --> 0:42:09.359
<v Speaker 8>Miami scares me running the.

0:42:09.280 --> 0:42:10.960
<v Speaker 6>Ball, by the way, Yes, you can put Miami that

0:42:10.960 --> 0:42:14.760
<v Speaker 6>category just across the board. Their offense is scary everybody.

0:42:14.280 --> 0:42:17.600
<v Speaker 7>Okay, yeah, question, Yeah, yeah, you get me one.

0:42:17.880 --> 0:42:20.239
<v Speaker 2>But Kansas City, no, Philadelphia no.

0:42:20.520 --> 0:42:21.440
<v Speaker 6>Like you go down the.

0:42:21.360 --> 0:42:25.000
<v Speaker 10>Line, you have guys with names that you're like, oh, Baltimore,

0:42:25.080 --> 0:42:27.280
<v Speaker 10>we have to.

0:42:26.040 --> 0:42:28.880
<v Speaker 6>Be But Tony Pollard is that guy too. He has

0:42:28.920 --> 0:42:32.440
<v Speaker 6>a name, Like he has a name, he hasn't. My

0:42:32.480 --> 0:42:34.560
<v Speaker 6>point you said guys don't have a name. But my

0:42:35.680 --> 0:42:37.920
<v Speaker 6>point is like, I don't think anybody's going into the

0:42:38.000 --> 0:42:40.920
<v Speaker 6>game against Kansas City and saying, man, Pacheco, I don't know,

0:42:41.000 --> 0:42:42.440
<v Speaker 6>I don't know we're gonna do with that Pacheco.

0:42:42.600 --> 0:42:43.759
<v Speaker 8>Like, I don't think that's the case.

0:42:43.880 --> 0:42:45.319
<v Speaker 6>I think there are a ton of teams out there

0:42:45.320 --> 0:42:47.160
<v Speaker 6>that are at the top of the league that you

0:42:47.200 --> 0:42:49.680
<v Speaker 6>look at their running game and you're like, okay, yeah,

0:42:49.719 --> 0:42:51.600
<v Speaker 6>you don't want you still need to stop the run

0:42:51.800 --> 0:42:53.719
<v Speaker 6>because if you don't pay attention to them, maybe they

0:42:53.719 --> 0:42:55.840
<v Speaker 6>can get some some gash runs on you. But the

0:42:55.880 --> 0:42:58.360
<v Speaker 6>fact of the matter is their passing game is everything.

0:42:58.440 --> 0:43:01.120
<v Speaker 9>I would I would think maybe I'm wrong about this.

0:43:01.400 --> 0:43:03.840
<v Speaker 9>I believe there's a lot of defensive coordinators. Now we

0:43:03.880 --> 0:43:07.200
<v Speaker 9>all talk about turnovers all the time. If you gave

0:43:07.239 --> 0:43:10.920
<v Speaker 9>them a choice between having turnovers or not giving up

0:43:11.000 --> 0:43:15.080
<v Speaker 9>chunk plays. They might say they'll take the chunk plays.

0:43:15.480 --> 0:43:17.600
<v Speaker 9>Please don't let me give up chunk plays, you know,

0:43:17.640 --> 0:43:20.000
<v Speaker 9>please don't let me turnovers. I mean, a lot of

0:43:20.040 --> 0:43:22.000
<v Speaker 9>teams are to the point now where we just can't

0:43:22.000 --> 0:43:24.160
<v Speaker 9>get people to turn it over. But we ain't gonna

0:43:24.160 --> 0:43:26.680
<v Speaker 9>give up any big plays, you know. We're just not

0:43:26.760 --> 0:43:29.640
<v Speaker 9>gonna let you. We're gonna make you. One thing teams

0:43:29.680 --> 0:43:31.560
<v Speaker 9>have figured out with the Cowboys too is make them

0:43:31.600 --> 0:43:34.279
<v Speaker 9>drive the ball. Make them drive the ball down the

0:43:34.280 --> 0:43:37.080
<v Speaker 9>field and eventually and a lot of teams will make mistakes.

0:43:37.360 --> 0:43:40.319
<v Speaker 9>They'll get a holding, you give them a sack, you know,

0:43:40.360 --> 0:43:41.800
<v Speaker 9>you get a penalty.

0:43:41.640 --> 0:43:43.799
<v Speaker 8>Something will stop a drive. You know.

0:43:43.880 --> 0:43:45.319
<v Speaker 9>I think a lot of teams are kind of thinking

0:43:45.360 --> 0:43:48.080
<v Speaker 9>of that about not just you know, playing the defense,

0:43:48.160 --> 0:43:50.120
<v Speaker 9>not to give up huge chunk plays.

0:43:50.400 --> 0:43:52.280
<v Speaker 2>All right, that's a wrap. We will be back tomorrow.

0:43:52.360 --> 0:43:54.120
<v Speaker 6>We'll wrap this thing up and we'll let you guys

0:43:54.160 --> 0:43:56.200
<v Speaker 6>know what we thing's gonna happen this Sunday to live
