Speaker 1: grizzly side of the world and camping and everything. For

22
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: those of you who don't get that reference, go watch

23
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: our show yesterday he went through his fears of bears.

24
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: But we're having a ton of fun here and looking

25
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: at this Seattle matchup, and I just mentioned it. We're

26
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 1: gonna go through offense ve defense today. We flippedlop that

27
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: yesterday and we talked about the Seattle offense and the

28
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: Cowboys defense. But there's been some things that have changed

29
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: over the last twenty four hours, and there's been some

30
00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: concerns that have popped up amongst that Cowboys defense. Rob

31
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: I saw an injury report yesterday Trayvon Diggs, our corner

32
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: that Isaiah said, Hey, we're gonna have to put him

33
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: on DK Metcalf, one of the best deep threats in

34
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: the NFL, And well, he's on the injury report with

35
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 1: the shoulder. What's the insider information on Trayvon Diggs? And

36
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: is this something we should start panicking about in the secondary.

37
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's panic, but how many corners

38
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: can wind up on the injury reports slash ir My goodness, man,

39
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: we just found out after the show that chio Use

40
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: is out for multiple weeks with that hamstring injury that

41
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: he had on special teams laid in the game against Atlanta.

42
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: They just got Jordan Lewis back, and right as he

43
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: gets back, Anthony Brown hurts his ribs in practice at

44
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: the end of the week and is on IR for

45
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 1: a minimum three weeks. And now, yes, Trayvon Diggs is

46
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: on the injury report. He was at practice the early

47
00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 1: part of practice. I'm not sure if he was really

48
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: doing anything because he didn't practice, And you know what

49
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:05,839
Speaker 1: I'm the vibe I'm getting is I don't I don't

50
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:07,799
Speaker 1: think it's time to panic here. I think, look, he

51
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: played all seventy five snaps in the game, and I

52
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: don't think there's a ton of concern at this point.

53
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: We'll talk to Mike mccarthur here in a little bit

54
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: and see, but obviously it's something they're trying to be

55
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: mindful of, and it may have something to do with

56
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: as many injuries as they've already got back there. If

57
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: he's got a little something, let's just try to make

58
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: sure he gets through the week and gets to the game.

59
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: Sound the alarm because it's rough, man, it is rough,

60
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: and it sucks, and I have I've said it before

61
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: for those that are experiencing any kind of injuries are

62
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: hurdles that they have to overcome. I feel for you.

63
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: I've been there entirely too many times, so I understand

64
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: explicitly what you are dealing with. However, as an organization,

65
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: sounding alarm because you don't have the depth that you

66
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: need to handle these defensive I mean, these these receivers

67
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: at Seattle's about to bring at you. I mean, goodness, gracious,

68
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: I'm sorry for the for the dog on training staff

69
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: here because I know they're frustrated. But a rookie, a

70
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: rookie high high, rookie draft pick, uh, not practicing on

71
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: a Wednesday. It's not what happens, Okay. You practice every day.

72
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: You only get three real days of practice, and two

73
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 1: of them are with paths typically. I don't even know

74
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 1: what the rules have changed now, But back in the day,

75
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: two days were pass. One day was was a fast.

76
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: You know, we call it up Temple Fast Fridays and

77
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: then Saturdays will walk through. If you're missing one day

78
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,679
Speaker 1: a practice of like the real practice, which is Wednesday,

79
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: your preparation day. Then you're hurt, You're you're you're hurt, right,

80
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 1: You're not, You're not, You're You're dealing with something that's

81
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 1: gonna be that kid could affect you in this game

82
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: potentially um and then the news achieved being gone goodness gracious,

83
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: that's what everybody in Cowboys Nation was relying on to

84
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: really anchor these defensive backfield going into this week's game.

85
00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: So if you're going into to the game with your

86
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:06,799
Speaker 1: best defensive back being a injured Diggs or b Anthony Brown,

87
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know now it was that,

88
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,239
Speaker 1: it was that, it was that mystery meat feeling. Again.

89
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: I didn't when I saw Trade Bun things his name

90
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: on the injury report, and I hadn't heard anything at all.

91
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 1: Rob hadn't reported it. Kyle, you didn't say anything about it.

92
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 1: So when I saw him show up on the injury report,

93
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 1: with Cheeto being out for multiple weeks and what we're

94
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: going through at the court end of the secondary, this

95
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: just isn't the time to have it because when you

96
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: look down the schedule at the receivers that we've got

97
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,919
Speaker 1: coming on the horizon. This is a rough patch to

98
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 1: have your guys on ir or out for a couple

99
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 1: of weeks or just laboring. Yeah you look at yeah. Now,

100
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 1: I was just gonna say, with these injuries, understands what this?

101
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,280
Speaker 1: What this does to you? Okay, Cowboys Nation. When you're

102
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: injured and you were short under you, you don't have

103
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 1: that much depth at a certain posis such as cornerback. Right,

104
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 1: the situation that we're currently in as a defensive coordinator

105
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,039
Speaker 1: might only he wants to get to all his blitzes.

106
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: He wants to get to single high. He wants to

107
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: press you, he wants to start doing all these crazy things.

108
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 1: Guess what, now, you can't because you don't have the

109
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 1: person nail. You can't afford to lose any more personnel.

110
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 1: So what do you do? Well, you become really chill, right,

111
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 1: you become really conservative. You go back to a nice

112
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,359
Speaker 1: too high zone. And guess what, you can't do that

113
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 1: when there's a dog on dude name by the name

114
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: of Carson in the backfield for Seattle, you just can't.

115
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 1: So this puts an entire defense at risk of being exposed,

116
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 1: and it sucks. You brought up a really good point about,

117
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: you know, the practice day and getting that work. I mean,

118
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 1: he's the second round here, he's a rookie. He needs

119
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: all the work he can get. I think there's a

120
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: may very well be where he's fine by Sunday. But

121
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,799
Speaker 1: you know, today is a huge day if they follow

122
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: the same schedule that they've been following, because they usually

123
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: go longer in practice on Thursday, and they don't, they

124
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,919
Speaker 1: don't practice Friday. They've got kind of a regeneration day.

125
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: Let guys recover from the week and then have a

126
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 1: short deal on Saturday. This is the last real heavy

127
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: work of the week, and so it'll be interesting to

128
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: see if he's out there today, because you're right, I mean,

129
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: a young player needs to be out there and getting

130
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: prep especially for a team of this quality, and those

131
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: are crucial because the reps that you're getting previously were

132
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 1: against Julio Jones, Robert Woods and Cooper Cup and the

133
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: reps that even if you're healthy. Moving into the next

134
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, here's the next the next couple of matchups,

135
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: just the next two matchups for the Cowboys, DK Metcaf,

136
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett, Jarvis, Landry, Odell Beckham, junior. Those are on

137
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: your schedule the next two weeks. Also, I'm going to

138
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: worry about if you want to go. If you want

139
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: to go two weeks down the line, we'll skip the

140
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: Giants for now because Sterling Shepherd's banged up and they

141
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: don't really have a wide receiving corps anyways. Then you

142
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: will skip a week six. Then you got DeAndre Hopkins

143
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald on your schedule, so you have to get healthy.

144
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: These corners need to come back because right now, and

145
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: I know we've used a lot of PF grades this week,

146
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: but it tells the story pretty well. But if you

147
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 1: look at the lowest grades of three corners throughout the

148
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: Atlanta game on Pro Football Focus, the lowest was Trayvon

149
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: Diggs at a forty seven. Jordan Lewis was next with

150
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 1: a forty nine, and then you had Darryl Worley with

151
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: a fifty seven. And if Diggs is healthy, those are

152
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: your three guys, those are your three starting corners right

153
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 1: now for the Cowboys, because there's no Cheeto, there's no

154
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: Anthony Brown, and really that's what you're working with. If

155
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: not if Trayvon Diggs isn't healthy, you're probably going to

156
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 1: Brandon Carr, who you really brought into to hopefully play safety.

157
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: He's gonna end up playing corner like he did previously

158
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,119
Speaker 1: during his stint with the Dallas Cowboys. So's it's worrisome,

159
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,559
Speaker 1: But Rob whenever you're actually I'm gonna go to Isaiah

160
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: on this one. But Isaiah, whenever you're dealing with an injury,

161
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: specifically in Trayvon Diggs case, where it's a shoulder and

162
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: you're a defender, we saw him last year with Jeff Heath.

163
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: It's not necessarily an easy thing to rehab when your

164
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 1: job is to hit somebody. Yeah, and I would like

165
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: to know. And obviously we won't find out what type

166
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 1: of shoulder injury he's had because I've had a ton

167
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: of them, right, I've tore my labor m three times.

168
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 1: That was my first two major injuries I had here

169
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: when I was in Dallas. But shoulders suck. So think

170
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:17,679
Speaker 1: about it from a large corner perspective, which he is, right,

171
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: Diggs as a large frame corner and larger corners. Their

172
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: advantage is being what being physical, Right, They're not necessarily

173
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 1: always gonna be the fastest. Diggs isn't necessarily the fastest corner.

174
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:30,559
Speaker 1: They're out there, okay, but he wants to get more

175
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 1: physical with you. So going against another physical receiver presents

176
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: problems because he has to go against DK Metcalf, who's

177
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: six four two twenty five. He runs a four three

178
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: three by the way, He's a physical specimen in terms

179
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: of being strong. So this presents a problem because not

180
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 1: only kid Mike Nolan not be aggressive on defense. Now

181
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you have to be conservative in

182
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 1: the secondary with your coverage. And if you and now

183
00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: you can't even come get your hands on a player

184
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 1: who who runs a little four to three, that presents

185
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,679
Speaker 1: a major problem. It's not a good look. Right now.

186
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 1: I'm not worried about them, well, I want don't say

187
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: that I'm worried about the DK. The DK Metcalf match

188
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: up with Diggs is one that gives me a little

189
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: bit of pause. His speed, his size, everything about DK Metcalf.

190
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: But when you go back and you look at the

191
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: tape and you know that these guys have seen each

192
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 1: other in the sec before, Diggs has had that matchup

193
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 1: and you handled them pretty well. Now that's obviously Alabama

194
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: old miss that we're looking at. Next tape from three

195
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 1: years ago, but still we have some tape to see

196
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,599
Speaker 1: these ship guys against each other. But Dk metcalf is

197
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 1: a physical specimen. Diggs is gonna have his hands filled.

198
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: They're gonna give him help over the top. You know

199
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: that's gonna be there. And so the worry really for

200
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,559
Speaker 1: me is on the other side with Tyler Lockett, because

201
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett is who Russell Wilson wants in those individual battles,

202
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: and Jordan Lewis is gonna have to win his battle

203
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: last week didn't wasn't a good look for George Lewis,

204
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 1: and I'm sure he would admit the same thing. And

205
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: so they're just certain parts of our defense. And now

206
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 1: with car coming in being that, I don't know if

207
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 1: he's just in a nickel situation, but we're gonna have

208
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: to have these guys play at a high level because

209
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: right now for Seattle, they're where they are is priority

210
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: number one is throw the ball, and that's where they're

211
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: going to keep us in that in that Nickel packet,

212
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 1: it's pretty much the whole game. I disagree with you

213
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: on that one, heck I And to my point yesterday,

214
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: Seattle is not to throw the ball first offense. I

215
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 1: don't I don't care how back for our history you go,

216
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: I don't care if each just going off to the numbers, right,

217
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: we're going off the numbers right now. And yeah, okay,

218
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 1: as first is what they're doing. So I still believe,

219
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,719
Speaker 1: even though the stats show differently, right because I'm not

220
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: a big stats guy, they're at a they're a run

221
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 1: first team in nature. Now, if the run sets up

222
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 1: for them to be able to start throwing the ball

223
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 1: a little bit more than so be it. But they

224
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:58,319
Speaker 1: cannot do what they do on offense without it without

225
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 1: initiating the run right and establish to run. And while

226
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: we're talking about receivers, we're talking about DK and we're

227
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 1: talking about Lockett. Don't forget David Moore more beast. He's

228
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,319
Speaker 1: six foot two fifteen and he catches the ball. He

229
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 1: got six catches for seventy six yards and a touchdown

230
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: and through two games. Let's not disrespect them, man. So

231
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 1: you also have that there to say, now Dallas gets

232
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 1: to catch a break, they catch a break a little bit.

233
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: And the fact that um that Dorset is now going

234
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 1: on ir because that would have really presented a problem.

235
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 1: But more is still a respectable receiver that they cannot

236
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: look past more. They've used him. They used him I

237
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 1: think on a jet sweep or at least a fake

238
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: jet sweep some of that misdirection stuff that where you

239
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: bring Wilson's legs and the ability to run into it.

240
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: And they've got a rookie Freddie Swayne who caught touchdown

241
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: passed last week. They've got they've got more depth, it

242
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 1: looks like than we think they do. So yeah, I

243
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 1: mean the matchups with the corners are huge. I think

244
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 1: the Cowboys and Kyle spoke to it. They least have

245
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: some some numbers in terms of worlies. Started games at

246
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: corner are obviously a started games at corner if they

247
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 1: need it. But you don't want to have to reach

248
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 1: too deep in the bag obviously, and you've been playing

249
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: those two guys at corner all right safety, so you know,

250
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 1: you'd like to have have some kind of you know,

251
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: rotation established and get something going there. It's gonna come

252
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 1: down to pressure and try and we talked we talked

253
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: about Russ all all yesterday and Isaiah made a great

254
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 1: point about that that interior rush too, because you don't

255
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: want to allow him to be able to step up

256
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 1: in the pocket, either run or step up and throw

257
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: and give him, you know, because he has a shorter quarterback,

258
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 1: give him an opportunity to really step into his throw.

259
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: That's huge as well, So Don Terry Poe and Crawford

260
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: and Antoine Woods. It's a big games to him, Hill,

261
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 1: Tristan Hill, Course, Triste, Yeah, big game for them. Yep.

262
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 1: And whenever you look at back to talking about that

263
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: corner back spine, that's why you went and got got

264
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 1: those veterans. That's why you went and secured a guy

265
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,439
Speaker 1: like Brandon car and a guy like Daryl Worley. Is

266
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 1: so that way you your your floor is higher. You're

267
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: ceiling may not be as high at the cornerback spot,

268
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 1: but your floor is higher than it would be if

269
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: you're you're having to throw some rookies or younger guys

270
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 1: out there. But there are some rookies in younger guys

271
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 1: that are waiting in the wings. Reggie Robinson, who's been

272
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,319
Speaker 1: inactive the first two weeks of the season. You've got

273
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: to Chris Westry. That's out there, rob But if you're

274
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: looking at either one of those guys or maybe even

275
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 1: some of these other practice squad caliber players. Is there

276
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: anyone that sticks out to you that could potentially get

277
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: moved up and play an active role. Yeah, I don't.

278
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know if they're to that

279
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 1: point yet. I think we got we gotta we gotta see,

280
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 1: we gotta see what's up with Diggs. I think there's

281
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: there's a chance he'll be fine for this game. Um,

282
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 1: but I think what really is happening potentially even with

283
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: even if it's just Cheeto U and Anthony Brown, what

284
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: what Mike McCarthy has said all through camp is going

285
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: to be put to the test here where you need

286
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: all your guys in the secondary and you don't necessarily

287
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: play one position. You gotta be ready to come in

288
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: and play multiple spots. And we may we may really

289
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 1: see that with some veterans that they brought in, uh,

290
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 1: that that are kind of cross training at different spots.

291
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 1: It's you know, they don't really it's all about position

292
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 1: flex and they may really have to use it here

293
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: in the next few weeks. We say they don't. Don't

294
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: ease up. Now, man, last week we wanted to throw

295
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: digs to the Wolves. Now let's look ahead and throw

296
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 1: Robinson out there. Let him learn. No, no, no, that's

297
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 1: a that's on the team right now. Dog, that's cool.

298
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: That's a completely different player, Isaiah, that's a completely different players.

299
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: We talk about we talk about two rounds. That's it. Yeah,

300
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 1: there's a lot of difference between two rounds, a lot

301
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 1: of different guy Dudu And they moved him to safety too.

302
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: He really I don't know how much corner he's really

303
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 1: been working at ye. So yeah, your point's well taken.

304
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: But to Rob's point as well, we mentioned it in

305
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 1: the off season. We mentioned the fact of the word

306
00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: of the year will be hybrid, and the Mic Noel

307
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: defense it's going to be hybrid, and that's exactly what

308
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 1: the corners and the safeties have been throughout the season.

309
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 1: Interchangeable another one of those words, and we're gonna see

310
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 1: just how interchangeable they are if we're gonna see some

311
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 1: flip flopping this week, and hopefully the Cowboys can get

312
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: something going and some healthy bodies into that secondary because

313
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 1: they're gonna need it against Russell Wilson when we come back.

314
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 1: You're on talking Cowboys. I promise we'll get to that

315
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 1: that Cowboys offense versus Seattle defense talk. Dak Prescott had

316
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 1: four and fifty yards last week. I think Ezekiel Elliott

317
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: could have one hundred and fifty this week. I'll tell

318

Speaker 1: with us on Dallas Cowboys dot com, and there's a

354
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 1: little bit of breaking news to report here on Talking

355
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 1: Cowboys as Adam Schefter has twittered the to the world,

356
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 1: twittered out there and tweeted and whatnot, and he is uh.

357
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 1: He has reported that this Seattle Seahawks, the team that

358
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys will be playing this week in are

359
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: gonna have a visit from mister Snacks Harrison at the

360
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 1: defensive tackle spun. Now good news for Cowboys fans. It's

361
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, and because of twenty twenty, you can't necessarily

362
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 1: play that quickly. So Cowboys aren't gonna have to worry

363
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 1: about snacks Harrison. But some other teams earlier are coming

364
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: up on the Seattle schedule might have to worry about

365
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: snacks Harrison coming up there in just a bit. But

366
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 1: there's another interesting wrinkle, and we're gonna talk about that

367
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: Seattle defense. And I teased going into the break that

368
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:36,640
Speaker 1: I think Zeke is due for a huge game. I said,

369
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,159
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty yards. He's had one hundred and

370
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 1: twenty plus all purpose yards in each of the first

371
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 1: two weeks. I think he could do that. He might

372
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:46,439
Speaker 1: even reach a hundred on the ground again for the

373
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:50,159
Speaker 1: first time this season, So I think he's due for

374
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 1: a big game. And it's really because of the defensive

375
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 1: line for Seattle. I'm not necessarily impressed with them. Much

376
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: like the Cowboys have had a lot to be desired

377
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 1: on the de defensive line. I think Seattle is the

378
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 1: same way. They don't necessarily pressure a whole lot. They

379
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 1: don't really do that much in the run defense. But

380
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 1: I want to see what you guys think about it. Heckma,

381
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,479
Speaker 1: is this a game where Ezeki Elliot's gonna be the

382
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: bell Cow and he's gonna be able to surpass the

383
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: triple digit mark again? Kyle, Yes, and I'm hoping that

384
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 1: he's twenty five plus carries in this game. But no

385
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 1: matter what, man, I'm just gonna play Captain obvious here

386
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,440
Speaker 1: and just say we can't fumble the ball five times

387
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 1: and give up twenty points. I think that that's gonna

388
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 1: set us up for success if we don't have to

389
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 1: do that. But that's the way that that's the way

390
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,880
Speaker 1: that the Cowboys have to go into Seattle looking at

391
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 1: this game, and Dak is gonna have to rely heavily

392
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,199
Speaker 1: on that Bell cow running back Zeke is gonna have

393
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,360
Speaker 1: to eat a whole lot and also be in that

394
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 1: be a big part of the passing game. Look, Seattle's

395
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: defense isn't what it used to be. Right, you would

396
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 1: go to Seattle and the whole legion of Boom talking

397
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 1: the twelfth Man, But we don't have to deal with

398
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: the twelfth Man and those decibel levels, and we definitely

399
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: don't have to deal with this the legion of Boom.

400
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 1: But for the Cowboys, it's gonna have to be those

401
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 1: possession of receptions, continuing to move the change, and Dak

402
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,159
Speaker 1: is gonna have to help this defense out. He's the

403
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 1: man that can cure our eels on defense by time

404
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 1: of possession, making sure that he gets those long exaggerated

405
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 1: drives going. And they have to finish in the red

406
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 1: zone with points, and so it's not gonna be one

407
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 1: of those games where you can give up a whole

408
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,400
Speaker 1: lot of points early and expect for Dad to put

409
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: his cape on and bring us back from behind. Fifty. Yeah, yeah,

410
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: d fifty you know what? You know what, Isaiah, Isaiah,

411
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:52,160
Speaker 1: that was a question, Isaiah. I'm gonna make sure I'm

412
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 1: seeing it with like y'all y'all know, I love me.

413
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 1: I love Freaky Zeki. Freaky zek He's a beast, he's

414
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:02,119
Speaker 1: a dog. Eats right, obviously he has a tattooed as

415
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 1: says he eats. But um, there's no no I mean

416
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 1: no butt. But but but but I do agree with you, Kyle.

417
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 1: This defensive line is unimpressive, right. I think that they

418
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: do what they're asked to do. But you know, hence

419
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:21,879
Speaker 1: the reason why they're going out there. They're trying to

420
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 1: bring in somebody like Snacks Harrison. They need a dominant force.

421
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 1: They don't have that. That's probably the only um out

422
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,360
Speaker 1: of their three levels of their defense, the defensive line,

423
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 1: the linebackers in the secondary. The defensive line is the

424
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,680
Speaker 1: only position right now they don't have a dominant dominant

425
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,719
Speaker 1: force on the presence there Um. They just lost Irving.

426
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:41,120
Speaker 1: That hurts them in a major way. Uh, because he's

427
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 1: a patient, experienced defense at end, slash rush or whatever

428
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:45,920
Speaker 1: you want to call him. Um that that they lost.

429
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 1: But they need an internal presence. Reason being is because

430
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,479
Speaker 1: they are susceptible to a good rushing offense such as

431
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys and Ezekiel Elliott. Um. This office ave

432
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 1: line is not what it's what it's been in the past,

433
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 1: but they're still good enough to push the Seahawks a

434
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: line line off the off the line of scrimmage. With

435
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 1: that being said, once you get past the defensive line

436
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 1: is when you start running into matchup problems for the Cowboys. Right, Um,

437
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 1: the linebackers. You have kJ Wright, who's a dog. You

438
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 1: have Bobby Wagner, who's the best linebacker in football. And

439
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 1: then you brought in the Ricky let me go ahead

440
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 1: and find his name, Jordan Brooks out of Texas Tech

441
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 1: first round draft picks. So listen, those three dudes are

442
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 1: some dogs now. And then, oh, by the way, um, Seattle,

443
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 1: I don't know the exact percentage, for probably about seventy

444
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,679
Speaker 1: percent of the game, they played single high safety in

445
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 1: which they brought Jamal Adams, who arguably the best safety

446
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:37,679
Speaker 1: in the game, as the fourth linebacker or the safety

447
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 1: in the box. So they're going to put eight guys

448
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 1: in the box and they're not going to allow z.

449
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: They're going to try their best to not allow Zeke

450
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 1: to get off to a start. And that's what Seattle

451
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 1: wants to do. Seattle wants to force you. Yeah, I

452
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:56,159
Speaker 1: think I'm just I'm just saying by doing that, you

453
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,400
Speaker 1: bring three Pro Bowl guys at the second level, right,

454
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 1: plus plus a Ricky first round draft pick. So they're

455
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 1: going to present problems for this offense in terms of

456
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 1: trying to establish the run. Does Zeke still eat? Zeke

457
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,439
Speaker 1: always eats, right, So I'm not disrespecting that, But one

458
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty yards, I just don't see that happening.

459
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:13,680
Speaker 1: It hasn't happened that much in Seahawks history, and I

460
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 1: don't even know that stand. You know, they've allowed ninety

461
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:23,160
Speaker 1: nine total rushing yards through two games. Also, and it's

462
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 1: two point one yards a carry, So through two games,

463
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 1: it's two games. They've done a solid job against the run. However, However,

464
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 1: Isaiah mentioned Bruce Irvan out for the year. Yeah, They've

465
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 1: got some guys banged up elsewhere on their defensive line

466
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:42,160
Speaker 1: this week. Benson Mayoa did not practice yesterday. Jeron Reid

467
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: did not practice yesterday. Cody Barton, linebacker who was in

468
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:46,879
Speaker 1: on the goal line stand against the Patriots at the

469
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 1: end of the game, didn't practice yesterday. You mentioned Brooks,

470
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: the rookie, he might have to play more. With Irvan out,

471
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to do some maybe some reshuffling on

472
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:59,360
Speaker 1: their d line, but they do have Jamal Adams. They

473
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 1: have Jamal Adams, and he is he's been their best

474
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 1: pass rusher. I mean he's I think he's got two sacks,

475
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 1: they've got three total sacks, and and uh, we saw

476
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 1: what he did against the Cowboys last year. It was

477
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 1: that zero blitz at the end of the Jets game

478
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,400
Speaker 1: where he broke through the line and made the play.

479
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 1: They've got some issues kind of kind of like the Cowboys,

480
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 1: all levels of their defense, but they do have some playmakers.

481
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 1: I'm kind of with Isaiah on this though. I don't know.

482
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:24,439
Speaker 1: I don't know if Zeke's gonna have to get two

483
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty yards. I think if they could

484
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,120
Speaker 1: take care of some matchups in the passing game and

485
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 1: you know, maybe maybe they can have more balance than

486
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 1: needing Zeke to do that, unless they're just in a

487
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:34,920
Speaker 1: position where they can just salt away the game in

488
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 1: the second half depending on how it unfolds. Yeah, Jamal

489
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:42,880
Speaker 1: Adams is that? Yeah, quintessential. I'm sorry, Kyle, I'm glad now.

490
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,639
Speaker 1: I was just gonna talk about Rob's stat really quickly

491
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:49,399
Speaker 1: about the rushing yards that were allowed by Seattle. You

492
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,679
Speaker 1: also got to think about who they're playing. Todd Gurley

493
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 1: in week one, who we saw last week wasn't necessarily

494
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 1: the same Todd Gurley, or at least hasn't gotten going

495
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 1: as the old Todd Gurley has in the previous years.

496
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 1: But then you go up against the Patriots last week

497
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 1: and you had Sony Michelle and Plano his own Rex Burkhead,

498
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 1: who were the don't knock my guy from playing. I

499
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 1: love f Burkhead, but at the same time, he didn't

500
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,440
Speaker 1: do anything against that Seattle defense. This is they haven't

501
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 1: face yet, but good go for it. You got Bobby

502
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 1: Wagner and and j R. Those are two downhill for

503
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 1: the linebackers that help your run defense well. And yeah,

504
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 1: with Jamal Adams coming down, he's gonna come up and

505
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,199
Speaker 1: stop the run. I mean, he's a box safety and

506
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 1: he will continue to be that, and that's something that

507
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 1: they're going to continue to utilize him in because he's

508
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 1: better there than he has been in coverage, especially this year.

509
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 1: But I still think, like as Isaiah said, Zeke's gonna

510
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:54,119
Speaker 1: eat and the play calling last week was very indicative

511
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 1: to letting Zeke have the football, whether it was via

512
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 1: the run or via screen pass or a short play

513
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 1: where you just get the ball into his hands. I

514
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 1: think they're gonna see a lot of that same thing

515
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: from Kellen Moore heading into Sunday, and it's something that

516
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 1: I think will allow him to have that kind of game.

517
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 1: And that's where Dalton Shows has to take over. Dalton

518
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: Shows has to be available in the passing game. You're right,

519
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:22,639
Speaker 1: kJ Wright. The linebackers of Bobby Wagoner and one of

520
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,119
Speaker 1: the best linebackers in the NFL right now, those guys

521
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 1: are all over the place. But let's not forget man

522
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 1: who Ezekiel Elliott is. And look last week. Last week,

523
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 1: Seattle completely disrespected Cam with eight in the box and

524
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 1: they just said, look, we don't care about you throwing

525
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,640
Speaker 1: the ball. And that's why Julian Edelman went for eight

526
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,439
Speaker 1: catches one hundred and seventy nine yards. You reverse that,

527
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 1: You reverse that, and you come to the Cowboys and

528
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,119
Speaker 1: you look at what Ceedee Lamb can do from that

529
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 1: slot position. And oh yeah, by the way, Seattle does

530
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 1: give up the most yards to slot receivers number one

531
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 1: or number two, but they're the tops of the league

532
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:58,959
Speaker 1: and what they give up to slot receivers and oh

533
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:03,919
Speaker 1: we got the best guy at receiver. He's a cowboy helmet.

534
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 1: So those match up problems for Seattle are all over

535
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 1: the field. And so if they trying to if they

536
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:12,880
Speaker 1: come with the eight men in the box mentality with us,

537
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,119
Speaker 1: I think we break their spirit by giving them that

538
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 1: dose of zeke. But then when they get ready, when

539
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:21,639
Speaker 1: they're loaded up for it, we drop it over the

540
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:23,719
Speaker 1: top and we have the receivers in the tight end

541
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 1: and hopefully Dalton shots can play like he plays against

542
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 1: Atlanta every week. That's what we need from him. Um. Heck,

543
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:36,160
Speaker 1: just a couple of things. Um, you mentioned you mentioned

544
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 1: that Shultz is going to get off against one of

545
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 1: two of these Pro Bowl safeties, right because quand Quandre

546
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: Digs is there as well. Right, So either way he's

547
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 1: either gonna have Jamal Adams on him, Quandre Diggs on him,

548
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 1: or kJ Wright one of those guy's gonna be sticking him. Correct. Okay,

549
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 1: just make it just making sure that you were talking

550
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:02,479
Speaker 1: about the right person. Okay. So so with that said, um,

551
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 1: he won't have with the game that he wants to have,

552
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 1: and all the points you made about receivers. Absolutely, You're

553
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 1: absolutely correct. They give up play, give up a big

554
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 1: players to slot receivers because they are going to force

555
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 1: you to throw the ball. They will lose. They would

556
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 1: rather lose to Dak Prescott than lose to Ezekiel Elliott.

557
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 1: That is the Seattle mentality. Trust me, I've been there.

558
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 1: I know the guys there. I know Ken Norton, I

559
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 1: know those guys. He is not going to let you

560
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 1: run the ball. He Zeke might. Zeke might get sixty,

561
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 1: he may get seventy yards. He's not going for one

562
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 1: hundred or some yards. And you're gonna have to run

563
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 1: routes in man coverage versus guys because Seattle. After watching

564
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 1: this game, Seattle came up and played man demand majority

565
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 1: of the game. And it's gonna And another point that

566
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 1: you said, you said that, did you say CD was

567
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 1: the best slot in the game. I think I heard

568
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 1: you start to say that. Is that something that you said?

569
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 1: That's exactly what I said, oh said with your chest. Okay,

570
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 1: So with the so just a question here, I know

571
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 1: we got going to something you would prefer to have

572
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb didn't, Tyler Lockett. No, I'm talking about for

573
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 1: the Dallas cow Wait a minute, now, I realize I

574
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 1: do really a little bit that Seattle is your other boys, right,

575
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 1: the cowboys of my boys. So I'm just telling I understand.

576
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't feel like I take I take

577
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 1: all emotion out of it. I am a fact based individual.

578
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 1: I would keep the one hundred I got all times.

579
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 1: But no matter why, it's like you're using words like

580
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 1: let they're gonna let us do so we don't. No, no, no,

581
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 1: you know, you know you're gonna have this. You gotta

582
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 1: hurd it. But Seattle is not going to allow you

583
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 1: to establish the run and went in the way that

584
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 1: Dallas would prefer, and which is why they went eight

585
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 1: in the box. Which is why they went eight Aboudy,

586
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 1: even with the Sony Michelle, even with the Rex birthhead,

587
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 1: with those guys that you don't consider to be top

588
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 1: dogs at that position, they still went eid in the

589
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:58,479
Speaker 1: box because they don't. They still am They didn't respect

590
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 1: Cam's arm, And now I'm saying, Camm Dak are two

591
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 1: different quarterbacks. I would go with Dak every time with

592
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 1: his arm, what he's going to be able to do

593
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 1: against the Seattle defense and receivers too. I'm just saying

594
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 1: he's got a better receiving. So they disrespected. They lined

595
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 1: up eight in the box because they knew that what

596
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 1: what the Patriots wanted to do was obviously get Cam

597
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 1: involved in the running game. That's why it's important to

598
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 1: bring them all Adams up in the box like that.

599
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 1: I kind of agree with you, but they did the

600
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 1: same thing. Did that hurt? Did that hurt? To kind

601
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 1: of agree with me? Though? We gotta go already know

602
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 1: we gotta go ahead. Com I'm just I need I

603
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 1: need a bucket a popcorn when this kind of stuff

604
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 1: pops up, Like I just need to set here and

605
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 1: watch the back and forth because both of you guys

606
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 1: know the game so well. Now, Isaiah, I want you

607
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 1: to put your money where your mouth is and not money.

608
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 1: We're not gonna bet money here, but I want to

609
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 1: make a bet with you. You said, Zeke's not having

610
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 1: a hundred yards and we're if do you still have

611
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 1: an Isaiah stand back Seattle, Jersey, anywhere you have one

612
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 1: running around, of course, have one. He does. Bring it

613
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 1: Bring it Sunday. Bring it Sunday to pregame and post game.

614
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 1: Because I'm gonna bring a Dack jersey. And if I don't,

615
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 1: I don't have an Ezekiel Elliot jersey, or actually have

616
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 1: a Tony Romo jersey. I don't have a Dack jersey.

617
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 1: I'll find a way to get a jersey. I'll find

618
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 1: a way because if Ezekiel Elliott has a hundred plus

619
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 1: yards in Sunday's game, you're gonna wear a jersey. If

620
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 1: he doesn't, I'll wear a jersey and we'll do it

621
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 1: on Monday as are how about that, I'll bring I'll

622
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 1: bring my wife. I'll bring my wife's Dack jersey up

623
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 1: there today or on Sunday. Okay, I'm helping. I'm helping

624
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 1: the bet. I'm helping. He's providing, providing it. He's providing

625
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 1: a little bit of a little bit of something to

626
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 1: substance of what we can have the better. But I

627
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 1: think Zeke's gonna easily have a hundred yards. I think

628
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 1: he's gonna have a fantastic game. I even think Tony

629
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 1: Pollard's gonna have a better game than he has the

630
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 1: first two weeks of the season. I really do think

631
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 1: this run game for the Cowboys is going to have

632
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 1: some success against the front seven of Seattle. Even with

633
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 1: respect that I have for that linebacking corps, I still

634
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 1: think they'll have some success. But when we come back,

635
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 1: we'll wrap things up. We'll set you into Friday as

Speaker 1: Thursday edition as we are just a couple days away

673
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 1: from the Dallas Cowboys and the Seattle Seahawks Week three

674
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 1: of the NFL season, And really, I think this is

675
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,719
Speaker 1: a benchmark game. And I brought this up yesterday just

676
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:40,799
Speaker 1: very briefly, and Rob kind of gave me one of

677
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:44,240
Speaker 1: those whoa kind of reactions by the way, Rob Phillips,

678
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 1: Heck Mahrris and Isaiah stand back. I'm Kyle Yeomans, and

679
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:48,799
Speaker 1: Rob gave me one of those whoa reactions when I

680
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 1: kind of said it, but we didn't really address it.

681
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,879
Speaker 1: But going into this week, the Cowboys one and one,

682
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 1: Seattle two and oh, and Seattle's really scene right now anyways,

683
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:02,719
Speaker 1: as a NFC favorite with a quarterback who is playing

684
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:05,400
Speaker 1: at an MVP level. I mean he's had nine touchdowns

685
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 1: and eleven in completions. The guy is just absolutely cooking.

686
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 1: And that's Russell Wilson. I went on a limb yesterday

687
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 1: and I even put it in an article, our Big

688
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:17,240
Speaker 1: Fax article that you can find on Dallas Cowboys dot com.

689
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:20,799
Speaker 1: But I said, the winner of this game Sunday, all

690
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 1: of a sudden has vaulted into that conversation as an

691
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 1: NFC favorite, as a potential Super Bowl contender. I wanted

692
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:31,400
Speaker 1: to get your guys thought thoughts on that because a

693
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 1: week ago we were talking about the season potentially coming

694
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:37,719
Speaker 1: to an end and really not turning out the way

695
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:39,960
Speaker 1: that you thought panic Button was just I mean, the

696
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:42,320
Speaker 1: case was off of the panic button and everybody was

697
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 1: getting ready to push it if they didn't complete a

698
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:48,440
Speaker 1: twenty point comeback. Well they did, and now I'm bringing

699
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:50,959
Speaker 1: this up, but when you look at it, it's really

700
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,080
Speaker 1: not that outlandish. But I wanted to get your thoughts

701
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:56,400
Speaker 1: at Robert. I know you gave that that whole reaction initially.

702
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 1: Well do you think that do you think the winner

703
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:02,759
Speaker 1: is is even in that conversation or am I way

704
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 1: out there right now? I mean, I got Seattle in

705
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:07,799
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. I guess I gotta stick to that

706
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 1: the whole year, right. I'm just I think it's it's

707
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 1: too early for anybody, um to really know. The thing

708
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 1: that concerns me with both teams is defensively, they have

709
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 1: so many injuries on both side, on the defensive side

710
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:25,240
Speaker 1: of the ball, that you know this early in the season,

711
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 1: you just wonder now the Cowboys have a chance. You know,

712
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 1: they get late in back, late in the year, later

713
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:32,799
Speaker 1: in the year, Sean Lee, that helps um, But you're

714
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 1: so depleted so early. I Dak said it before the

715
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,880
Speaker 1: season started that the healthiest team's gonna win, and he

716
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 1: was asked question about you know, obviously the COVID and

717
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:45,279
Speaker 1: the virus being a threat to everybody, but also just

718
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 1: the injury front, and we're seeing more injuries this year

719
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 1: than I can remember so early. That concerns me for

720
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:53,360
Speaker 1: both teams being healthy enough to be effective on the

721
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:56,399
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball. Right now, which which team

722
00:37:56,440 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 1: do you think? Real quickly, rob, which team do you

723
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:03,759
Speaker 1: think is more injury ridden? Is it? Is it the

724
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 1: Dallas side? I think over Seattle pretty easily, But I'll

725
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:10,799
Speaker 1: throw another NFC West opponent in there. How about San Francisco?

726
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:14,360
Speaker 1: Which one has been decimated more? Is it San Francisco

727
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:16,920
Speaker 1: or Dallas in terms of these two guys or two

728
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 1: teams rather that have lost a ton of guys. I

729
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:23,360
Speaker 1: might take San Francisco just because it sounds like Garoppolo

730
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:26,480
Speaker 1: might not play this week, and that's the toughest division

731
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:29,400
Speaker 1: in football problems, so they can't afford not to have

732
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 1: your quarterback for multiple weeks. I don't know how long

733
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:33,880
Speaker 1: it's gonna be. And San fran and San Francis, guys

734
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:37,399
Speaker 1: don't come back, true, I mean they go, they don't.

735
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:39,480
Speaker 1: They guys just don't come back. So, yeah, Dallas is

736
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 1: in good shape. They only get better from here. Heckman,

737
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:46,640
Speaker 1: continue with what you were going to say. No, I'm

738
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:49,879
Speaker 1: interrupting everybody's others waiting on my third, but I mean

739
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:52,319
Speaker 1: san Franci, Yeah, with Bolsta and the ACL man, that's

740
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:55,880
Speaker 1: just yeah, that's ridiculous. But the Cowboys right now are

741
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:59,279
Speaker 1: feeling that injury bug. And in this game, I just

742
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:02,839
Speaker 1: feel like I'm really excited to see Dak go up

743
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:06,280
Speaker 1: against another one of his contemporaries and prove his case.

744
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:09,239
Speaker 1: And we talked about this betting on your self mentality

745
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 1: and Dak going from I guess week one, having that

746
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 1: the past to Michael Gallup overruled by horrible PI and

747
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 1: coming back last week versus Atlanta. He's just proving his

748
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 1: case that he's maturing and the things that we're looking

749
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:28,759
Speaker 1: for in him to be that next level, take the

750
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 1: next level as a quarterback. He's starting to mature in

751
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 1: that man. But if you and Rob started to do

752
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:38,279
Speaker 1: the comparison between Dak and Russell Wilson yesterday, and I

753
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 1: love I gave you know that. I love I love

754
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:46,720
Speaker 1: the comparison because when it comes down to what Cowboy

755
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 1: Nation wants from Dak, I think that's what we want

756
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 1: to see. We want to see Dak b Russell Wilson

757
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 1: and eight years, nine years and not just be perceived

758
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:57,840
Speaker 1: or look at as a bus driver, so to speak.

759
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:00,239
Speaker 1: And so he has to take the next step and

760
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:02,360
Speaker 1: I think you know in this matchup, this would be

761
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 1: the one that we see him golden neck go that

762
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 1: extra mile to be the upper echelon quarterback. So you're

763
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:15,120
Speaker 1: you're saying, at least this game based off of last week.

764
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 1: I mean, it was the third four hundred and fifty

765
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:20,440
Speaker 1: yard performance that Dak Prescott has had in his career,

766
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 1: and it was quite possibly the best comeback, or actually

767
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:24,960
Speaker 1: it was the best comeback that he's ever had. But

768
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 1: whenever you're looking at Dak Prescott and this is a

769
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:32,080
Speaker 1: secondary that automatically gives you a little bit of pause

770
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:34,680
Speaker 1: because there is a Jamal Adams back. There, there is

771
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 1: a Quandre Diggs there is a griffin. They're good in

772
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 1: the secondary, Seattle is it's it's up front where the

773
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:42,719
Speaker 1: pressure is that they're kind of leaving a lot to

774
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:46,880
Speaker 1: be desired. Like I said earlier, much like Dallas. Where

775
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,759
Speaker 1: is Dak Prescott gonna be able to pick apart this defense? Though?

776
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 1: And Isaiah, I know you went into it a minute

777
00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:54,319
Speaker 1: ago talking about eight players in the box. You're gonna

778
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 1: stop the run? Can Dak eat like Zeke wouldn't normally eat?

779
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:00,279
Speaker 1: Is there a chance that he's able to roll the

780
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:04,360
Speaker 1: football around a little bit? Yes, Deck's gonna have the

781
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:07,200
Speaker 1: opportunity to do so. Um, he's definitely gonna have a

782
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:08,759
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of time, a lot more time

783
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:11,360
Speaker 1: than he than he probably imagines he will. He will have.

784
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:14,000
Speaker 1: But he's gonna to be precise with his passing. Um.

785
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:16,440
Speaker 1: That's something that I've always been kind of down on

786
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 1: Dac with in past years. I know he's continue he's

787
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 1: continuing to get better, but his precision has to be

788
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:24,560
Speaker 1: on point. He can't be behind on crossing routes, he

789
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 1: can't be behind on deep balls. Um, he's gonna have

790
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 1: to be on point because these guys are going to

791
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:32,359
Speaker 1: get open. But they're gonna have somebody writing their hip

792
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 1: pocket while they're open. So if he's off the mark

793
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 1: by at all, it can lead to easy turnovers. So

794
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 1: it either be big play or it can be a turnover.

795
00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:41,439
Speaker 1: So if he and that's that's what it's really gonna

796
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 1: come down to. So he really has to dial in

797
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 1: this week because he will have the time to throw

798
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:50,359
Speaker 1: the rock. But will it be on the mark at when?

799
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:52,920
Speaker 1: Do you agree? Oh? No, have you not seen him mature?

800
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 1: Have you not seen that? I have? I mentioned that.

801
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 1: I mentioned that. Okay, do you agree with him? I

802
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 1: about it? Just got a little too far yesterday though?

803
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:04,759
Speaker 1: Who you you went too far yesterday? Now you did?

804
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:07,280
Speaker 1: I thought that was a perfect comparison. I mean, instead

805
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 1: of being being compared to Kirk Cousins. I would like

806
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:13,440
Speaker 1: to hear Russell what Russell Wilson? Yeah, that's for sure. Yeah, no,

807
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:15,440
Speaker 1: I mean but so as we talked about comparison, So

808
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:18,400
Speaker 1: Dak has improved on his long balls and hit some

809
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 1: of his shorter routes right his intermediate routes, but there

810
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:23,040
Speaker 1: has been he has a history of not being on

811
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 1: the mark. Now, guys may catch the ball, but that

812
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 1: doesn't mean just because they have a completed pass, that

813
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:29,959
Speaker 1: the ball was, where the location was, where he needed

814
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:33,080
Speaker 1: to be. And as a former quarterback, I dial in

815
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:34,960
Speaker 1: on those things. Right, is an under back shoulder, was

816
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:38,280
Speaker 1: an under front shoulder, Right, So things things that okay,

817
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 1: well most people bypassed and say, okay, it was a

818
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:42,680
Speaker 1: completed pass. Yeah, but it was this close to getting tipped, right,

819
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:44,920
Speaker 1: it was this close to being office back shoulder and

820
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:46,879
Speaker 1: into somebody else's hands. So so those are the things

821
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:48,960
Speaker 1: that I'm talking about because you know, we know Russell

822
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:51,879
Speaker 1: Wilson doesn't really make those mistakes. So when we look

823
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:53,239
Speaker 1: at when we're looking on both sides of the ball,

824
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, you know we I think Rob said yesterday,

825
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:58,040
Speaker 1: when he throws the ball deep, it's like a handoff, right,

826
00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:00,160
Speaker 1: And that's the confidence that he has. I don't think

827
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:02,360
Speaker 1: is there yet. But he's on his way. Him and

828
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:04,319
Speaker 1: him and these receivers are gonna have to continue to

829
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:06,600
Speaker 1: build their rapport. He's gonna have to get the ball

830
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:08,080
Speaker 1: to CD if see, he's gonna be in a slot

831
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:10,760
Speaker 1: because that's where they're gonna win in. Yeah, what's Russ

832
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:12,960
Speaker 1: completing right now? Like eighty two percent? Of his passes.

833
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:16,359
Speaker 1: It's just it's just ridiculous. He leads been the best

834
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:18,759
Speaker 1: player in the league so far, leads the NFL and

835
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:24,120
Speaker 1: completion percentage, touchdown percentage, and QBR. He's had a one

836
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:28,759
Speaker 1: forty QBR through the first two games, which is just unbelievable.

837
00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:31,880
Speaker 1: But I mentioned the stat last earlier in the show.

838
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 1: Nine touchdowns, just eleven in completions. It'll be tough to

839
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 1: slow down Russell Wilson. But this is gonna be a duel.

840
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:42,120
Speaker 1: I was asked on seinon r J this morning about

841
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 1: the over under, and the overunder I think was at

842
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:46,720
Speaker 1: fifty six or something like that. And we're not betting

843
00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:48,800
Speaker 1: men on this show. We talk a lot about the

844
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:52,480
Speaker 1: numbers though, and I would take the over. I mean,

845
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:54,960
Speaker 1: we saw forty thirty nine last week. I wouldn't be

846
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:57,719
Speaker 1: surprised if the Cowboys get close to forty again this week.

847
00:43:57,760 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 1: It's just whether or not can they stop the Seattle

848
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:04,719
Speaker 1: aside from getting forty Yeah, yeah, with both of these defenses, man,

849
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:07,879
Speaker 1: it's going to be a shootout. Just look for Yeah,

850
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:09,320
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a shootout. It'll be a lot of

851
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:12,560
Speaker 1: fun to break down. And tomorrow we'll give our predictions.

852
