Speaker 9: I don't know why, but I.
Speaker 1: Just like this stuff.
Speaker 4: And you're wearing that you know Phil.
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't, but.
Speaker 3: I know someone else.
Speaker 6: I know somebody who does.
Speaker 9: Yeah, there isn't many days where I'm not wearing either
Speaker 9: Nike or Jordan Ran one of the two.
Speaker 3: So yeah, and he's got some of the best shoe
Speaker 3: game I've ever seen him. Just by the way, money
Speaker 3: can't hide it.
Speaker 4: Uh are you're wearing the quarter zip.
Speaker 3: It's a little chillier outside, you've got a jacket on,
Speaker 3: you've got the quarter zip. The rain in the cold
Speaker 3: front kind of came through last night. Instead of being
Speaker 3: ninety five, it's only eighty to I think we're done.
Speaker 3: You think something we're doing. I think I think there's
Speaker 3: like one more night where you might.
Speaker 9: Be in another week at least before that storm.
Speaker 3: Ye. So it's just it's wracked right now.
Speaker 4: My god.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there was an umbrella in my backyard whenever I
Speaker 3: walked out outside this morning, just like wanted to check
Speaker 3: and make sure it was just like a rainbow umbrella
Speaker 3: just sitting there nice, just right in the middle. Yeah,
Speaker 3: So I don't know, I'll probably just put it right in.
Speaker 9: The middle picture in Isaiah's backyard, just being like just
Speaker 9: this acres of acres.
Speaker 3: It's got a lake, Yeah, definitely, got green out there,
Speaker 3: got another house.
Speaker 10: Everybody knows what kind of neighborhood I'm staying in. What
Speaker 10: is that We share driveways in my neighborhood, do you so?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, exactly, that's a regular neighborhood, suburban neighborhood.
Speaker 3: Okay, you got that personal gym in the garage though,
Speaker 3: I know that his uh, his backyard backs up to
Speaker 3: Dak's field. That's the drive I never got.
Speaker 6: I never got the She's got like a nine hole
Speaker 6: part three out back.
Speaker 4: That's awesome.
Speaker 3: All right, Nick, what's some news and notes around this
Speaker 3: Cowboys team as they continue to prepare for San France.
Speaker 6: Well, we'll start on the gloomy side.
Speaker 8: I guess yesterday, being Wednesday, set a season high for
Speaker 8: the most players on the injury report. Granted there were
Speaker 8: a couple that were on there just for rest reasons.
Speaker 8: But let's go down this laundry list. Demon Clark lined
Speaker 8: by shoulder injury limited yesterday. Rico Daudell, who bruised his
Speaker 8: hip against the Patriots, did not practice yesterday. He was
Speaker 8: working with the rehab group during the media portion, at
Speaker 8: least with Britt Brown, director of Rehabilitation Chewai Dogo with
Speaker 8: his need that he's been battling for a couple of weeks.
Speaker 6: He was a full participant.
Speaker 8: Stefan Gilmore he was out with for rest purposes, and
Speaker 8: Mike McCarthy had said, I believe it was either yesterday
Speaker 8: or on Monday that they're going to start incorporating a
Speaker 8: lot more veteran rest days. On Wednesday, so Stefan Gilmour,
Speaker 8: one of those Peyton Hentershot who's battling his ankle injury,
Speaker 8: did not practice. I'm starting to feel like this is
Speaker 8: going to be a multi week type deal for him.
Speaker 8: Wouldn't expect to see him on Sunday against the forty
Speaker 8: nine ers. Molie Hooker safety shoulder injury was limited yesterday.
Speaker 6: That's new.
Speaker 8: Ceedee Lamb did not practice yesterday. He was listed as
Speaker 8: rest but also a knee injury, So maybe we'll find
Speaker 8: out a little bit more about that. Hopefully it was
Speaker 8: just a rest day, as we've talked about with these
Speaker 8: veteran rest days. DeMarcus Lawrence veteran rest day, did not practice.
Speaker 8: Zach Martin, he had quote rest day and a thigh injury,
Speaker 8: did not practice. Well, you know, he left the game
Speaker 8: against the Patriots with a quad injury. We'll see how
Speaker 8: serious that is today, probably if he returns to the
Speaker 8: practice field. Micah Parsons, who tweaked his knee in the
Speaker 8: Patriots game but ended up coming back into the game.
Speaker 8: He was limited yesterday, but when we talked to Mike
Speaker 8: McCarthy yesterday, he said that he's good to go as
Speaker 8: far as playing on Sunday as of now. And then
Speaker 8: Tyron Smith did not practice with his knee injury. He
Speaker 8: also had the rest designation on there as well.
Speaker 4: Just a few guys.
Speaker 9: Yeah, so that's like they added in Hankins like later
Speaker 9: in the night, there was like a yeah, it was
Speaker 9: just and it was another rest one. But I those twelve,
Speaker 9: I still would say there's only three of them that
Speaker 9: I would think are in show. Well, I mean it's twelve. Yeah,
Speaker 9: it's twelve, But I'll be honest with you. I could
Speaker 9: be wrong on this, but I don't remember a lot
Speaker 9: of these rest guys being put on this list before.
Speaker 9: You know what I'm saying. So if you take those away,
Speaker 9: it's not it's crazy. But anyway, so if there's twelve
Speaker 9: names on the list, but I think there's only three
Speaker 9: that you would think of that potentially couldn't play, and
Speaker 9: I would say to be Peyton, Hendershot Tired Smith and
Speaker 9: ricodoubt all everybody else I hear Zach Martin, Dimo and Clark,
Speaker 9: Stephanie Gilmour, Malee Hooker, CD, Lawrence Parsons. I mean Mike,
Speaker 9: I said he was fine yesterday, said he was feeling
Speaker 9: great after getting treatment and things like that.
Speaker 1: So, I mean there's a.
Speaker 10: Lot of names in there, but we would get to
Speaker 10: talk to CD today as well, So I mean you'll
Speaker 10: you'll get to hear about the me and whatever that
Speaker 10: ends up being.
Speaker 3: That's the first time he's popped up, popped up as
Speaker 3: a as really any designation outside of just the rest
Speaker 3: of practice, because I believe yeah, yeah, But I mean
Speaker 3: Mike said that this was going to start now, I mean,
Speaker 3: this is a normal thing that there will be veteran
Speaker 3: rest days on Wednesday, and they'll continue that moving forward
Speaker 3: as the season goes along. But yeah, uh, I mean
Speaker 3: and then limited in practice. You mentioned Dimone, Clark, Willie Cooker, Micah.
Speaker 3: As long as those guys are good to go, I
Speaker 3: think I feel pretty good about it. And CD of
Speaker 3: course on that list as well. But I mean, for
Speaker 3: the most part, anybody's kind of concern you just in
Speaker 3: the fact that they were on the list period.
Speaker 4: My number one is probably CD.
Speaker 3: I think everybody else I kind.
Speaker 4: Of anticipated to be.
Speaker 8: Yeah, we'll find out more about CD, as you said today,
Speaker 8: but no, not really. I would say Malie Hooker was
Speaker 8: the one surprise for me. But again, we'll probably find
Speaker 8: out more for McCarthy. We had talked to McCarthy about
Speaker 8: Damot Clark earlier in the week. He said he's good.
Speaker 8: He'll probably just be limited on Wednesday, so I have
Speaker 8: no concern about him playing on Sunday as of right now.
Speaker 8: For our next news and note, Kyle Shanahan was talking
Speaker 8: to the media yesterday and again a phenomenal tweet here
Speaker 8: by the man next to me, John Shouda, and Shanahan
Speaker 8: was asked, is it tough facing someone that you know
Speaker 8: so well and he knows you so well. Is it
Speaker 8: one of those things like he knows I want to
Speaker 8: do this, or he knows that I know a little bit.
Speaker 8: Shanahan replied a little bit. But it's different when you're
Speaker 8: not in the division. At least it's not twice a
Speaker 8: year unless you meet in the playoffs and stuff. I
Speaker 8: think Dan and I got to go against each other
Speaker 8: twice here in Dallas and always a huge challenge. I
Speaker 8: will get get into it throughout the week, and we
Speaker 8: touched on it a lot yesterday as far as the
Speaker 8: San Francisco offense versus the Dallas defense. But Shanahan's definitely
Speaker 8: talking up this matchup and showed a lot of respect
Speaker 8: for Dan Quinn in this press availability yesterday.
Speaker 3: Hmm, interesting anything any thoughts there?
Speaker 4: There's mutual respect. I mean, everybody knows it's gonna be
Speaker 4: It's gonna be a doll fight.
Speaker 10: I mean you heard I think there was a quote
Speaker 10: by Trent William yesterday that I said it's an ice
Speaker 10: bag game.
Speaker 4: I mean, you you just know what it's gonna be.
Speaker 10: I mean the players are preparing for a physical battle,
Speaker 10: and the coaches are preparing themselves for a mental battle.
Speaker 10: I mean it's literally going to be a chess match
Speaker 10: on the sidelines and then the booths, and then it's
Speaker 10: gonna be a freaking dog fight on the field between
Speaker 10: the players. I mean, everybody knows what this means, and
Speaker 10: they know what this means in terms of attempt check,
Speaker 10: in terms of knowing exactly where you stand at this
Speaker 10: point of the season, how you match up physically, scheme wise.
Speaker 10: It's just a test for both teams. I think they're
Speaker 10: looking for affirmation as to what they've been doing so far,
Speaker 10: and Dallas is looking for the same thing.
Speaker 11: You know.
Speaker 10: They Dallas dropped one game. They haven't dropped any games,
Speaker 10: you know, So, I mean this is just a battle
Speaker 10: of them dudes.
Speaker 4: Man going ahead to hit.
Speaker 9: Yeah, Dan Quinn arguably the best defensive coach in the
Speaker 9: league against Kyle Shiann, arguably the best offensive coach in
Speaker 9: the league. They know each other well. That obviously gonna
Speaker 9: be a fascinating chess match. It has been the last
Speaker 9: two years, so why would it be any different. Kind
Speaker 9: of a side note on that, because you brought up
Speaker 9: the Trent Williams quote. When Tony Poller was talking yesterday
Speaker 9: no disrespect to the Commanders, I was a little surprised.
Speaker 9: He was asked about what are the what's another ice
Speaker 9: bag type game? And he said Washington And it was
Speaker 9: interesting to me because I just don't think of that
Speaker 9: game like that. You know, obviously I'm not out there playing,
Speaker 9: but I thought that was a little Yeah, that wouldn't
Speaker 9: have been the next one that I would have thought of.
Speaker 6: I found that interesting as well. I was actually thinking
Speaker 6: about that this morning.
Speaker 8: Whenever he said that, I was like, so when Washington
Speaker 8: Week comes around, that's gonna be my first question.
Speaker 3: I was like, what do you Yeah, Well, I made
Speaker 3: that front seven from Washington. It's been good since he
Speaker 3: got here, for sure. I mean, if there was one
Speaker 3: strength to that team, it would be the front seven.
Speaker 3: So I could see why Tony Pollard specifically, he's looking
Speaker 3: up and he's seeing Chase young Deron Payin and those
Speaker 3: guys up front. I mean, there's guys that he's going
Speaker 3: to run straight into in that regard.
Speaker 8: But speaking of Tony Pollard, my final news and note,
Speaker 8: we got to talk to him yesterday obviously, and he
Speaker 8: kind of reminisced on the injury a little bit that
Speaker 8: he suffered against San Francisco in January. In that playoff game,
Speaker 8: late in the second quarter, and if you guys remember
Speaker 8: they were driving into the red zone, Pollard had taken
Speaker 8: a reception across the middle and was tackled left leg,
Speaker 8: got caught up under the defender, broke his left leg
Speaker 8: and sprained his ankle. On the very next play, Dak
Speaker 8: Prescott throws an interception and they ended up going into
Speaker 8: the half tide instead of going into the half with
Speaker 8: the lead. Tony was asked about it yesterday and just
Speaker 8: you know his mindset around the whole thing. He said,
Speaker 8: it was frustrating, especially when I got hurt. We were
Speaker 8: in the red zone about to score on a drive.
Speaker 8: We had a good drive going and then that killed
Speaker 8: the momentum. I kind of felt like I let my
Speaker 8: team down.
Speaker 6: It hurt.
Speaker 8: And then later in the availability he was asked to
Speaker 8: kind of dive deeper into that, He's like, why did
Speaker 8: it hurt? It hurt because you're you're so invested, you
Speaker 8: have so much invested into the season. You know you've
Speaker 8: got goals and you know who you want to be.
Speaker 8: But it hurts once you get it cut short like that. Mostly,
Speaker 8: I was just frustrated because I couldn't help the team
Speaker 8: and be out there to get a win. So I
Speaker 8: bring this up just with the sense of him returning
Speaker 8: to the scene of the injury. You know, on Sunday night,
Speaker 8: I would love to see a big game from Tony Poler.
Speaker 8: That would be really really cool to see.
Speaker 4: What would you classify as a big game.
Speaker 8: A big game would be you know, one hundred yards
Speaker 8: against that defense, a couple touchdowns, I mean, taking over
Speaker 8: that game. We've talked about all week about how Dak
Speaker 8: Prescott needs to take that next step, But what if
Speaker 8: Tony Poler does it for him, you know, and they're
Speaker 8: able to have that facilitation out of the backfield.
Speaker 6: I think it could be either or.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it would have been interesting to see if he
Speaker 9: doesn't get hurt on that play, they go down and
Speaker 9: score a touchdown, take a touchdown lead into halftime, just
Speaker 9: because they did such a great job in the first
Speaker 9: half against McCaffrey and really McCaffrey only had the one drive.
Speaker 9: It was like their second possession. It was like late
Speaker 9: in the third quarter where he really kind of gains
Speaker 9: some steam. Maybe you don't even get to that if
Speaker 9: you're playing from behind. You know, maybe maybe you do.
Speaker 9: And maybe it's a dog played.
Speaker 1: To the very end.
Speaker 9: But it just would have been interesting to see what
Speaker 9: would have happened if if Tony didn't get hurt.
Speaker 3: Do you think at least one more score on the board,
Speaker 3: and we're talking about ot as opposed to to where
Speaker 3: it was at the end of that.
Speaker 9: Ball game, Probably The other factor with the Pollard is
Speaker 9: that while he has obviously a ton of value this
Speaker 9: year on that particular team, I mean, you got to
Speaker 9: remember them coming up short. There too factors into them
Speaker 9: going to get Brandon Cooks. I don't care what nobody says.
Speaker 9: They needed more help, they need more weapons. So when
Speaker 9: you took him away, it was going to be so
Speaker 9: tough to replace. And there wasn't you know, the whole
Speaker 9: oh well, just next guy, next guy up here, Malik Davis,
Speaker 9: z Equald Carry or whatever. Like they weren't playing on
Speaker 9: the level that Tony Pollard was, and they didn't have
Speaker 9: that other receiver either. You know, there was hope that
Speaker 9: t Y Hilton would keep coming along and that would
Speaker 9: you know, you know, and then Michael Gelp wasn't playing
Speaker 9: like he was the year before. You didn't get anything
Speaker 9: from Jalen Tolbert, so it was like, really, CD, Dalton
Speaker 9: Schultz and Tony Pollard were your weapons. And to lose
Speaker 9: one of those man that was that was a huge blow.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean by that point of the game, Pollard
Speaker 3: had six carries for twenty two yards, which doesn't sound
Speaker 3: like a lot, but that's nearly four yards per pop
Speaker 3: against that San Francisco defense, and he already had two
Speaker 3: catches for eleven yards as well, so he'd already been
Speaker 3: utilized in the passing game too.
Speaker 4: Nobody on the San Francisco.
Speaker 3: Side averaged more than four yards per carry or even
Speaker 3: close to four yards per carry. They were all held
Speaker 3: underneath that three point seven mark that Tony had. So yeah,
Speaker 3: Dallas did what they needed to do in stopping the run,
Speaker 3: and Tony Pollard certainly was the weapon that they really.
Speaker 4: Needed back in the fold.
Speaker 3: Let's kind of talk about that a little bit here,
Speaker 3: because and that was the final news. And note right correct,
Speaker 3: let's take a break. When we come back, we're going
Speaker 3: to talk about this Cowboys offense and the San Francisco
Speaker 3: defense because this might be that X factor matchup. This
Speaker 3: is going to be what decides this football game. Which
Speaker 3: offense can have the most success against these vaulted Cowboys
Speaker 3: and forty nine ers defenses. Isaiah is going to break
Speaker 3: it down for us when we come back.
Speaker 12: Right after this, Todd thought it would be secure to
Speaker 12: jog in the Cheat of Savannah. Todd believed the big
Speaker 12: cat repellent he bought online was reliable. And now Todd
Speaker 12: is trying to be faster than this cheetah that can
Speaker 12: run eighty miles per hour. But the good news is
Speaker 12: Todd has at and T five G. It is fast, reliable,
Speaker 12: and secure, and he learned the best thing to do
Speaker 12: is stop running and toss her the backpack with the
Speaker 12: beef stew at and T five G. Fast, reliable, secure,
Speaker 12: It's not complicated.
Speaker 11: Five G requires compatible planning device. Five G may not

Speaker 15: answer life's questions with an ice cold can of doctor Pepper. Sheila,
Speaker 15: let's hear from my next caller, would.
Speaker 3: You, Dear doctor?
Speaker 4: My friend supported me during a tough time.
Speaker 7: But what's the right gift that says thanks for being
Speaker 7: the soldier.
Speaker 5: To cry out?

Speaker 15: doctor Pepper. Nothing says thanks good better than one of
Speaker 15: a kind soda. Yes, any doctor Pepper flavor will do now,
Speaker 15: just to remind her that I don't need to be
Speaker 15: a real doctor to know that doctor Pepper is the
Speaker 15: one you deserve.
Speaker 4: To talking Cowboys. Back here on Talking Cowboys.
Speaker 3: This portion of the show is brought to you by
Speaker 3: Quaker Oates, a super trusted super food. Quaker Oats, the
Speaker 3: official oatmeal sponsor of the Dallas Cowboys. It's also brought
Speaker 3: to you by Dallas Cowboys Fan of the Year, presented
Speaker 3: by Captain Morgan. We've gotten Nick Harris, John Machoda, Isaiah
Speaker 3: stand back, Chris Beam in the back of Kyle Yomas.
Speaker 3: All right, Isaiah, break it down for US Cowboys offense
Speaker 3: versus the San Francisco forty nine ers defense. We'll start
Speaker 3: with the defensive side. What does San fran do well?
Speaker 4: San Fran is a very aggressive team.
Speaker 10: San Fran is very I would say, probably one of
Speaker 10: the more cockier defenses in the league. When I say that,
Speaker 10: I mean that they are fully confident in their abilities
Speaker 10: individually and they come together as a team to play
Speaker 10: very very aggressive.
Speaker 4: How can I state that better?
Speaker 10: The defensive line does some very unorthodox things in terms
Speaker 10: of alignments.
Speaker 4: So you have your traditional four to three alignments. You
Speaker 4: know your one.
Speaker 10: Technique, your three technique typically shape it to the tight
Speaker 10: end or away from the tight end, depending on whether
Speaker 10: they're going over and under.
Speaker 4: But these guys.
Speaker 10: Sometimes we'll mix with that, right, they'll mess around with
Speaker 10: that a little bit. They'll go a three technique and
Speaker 10: a five technique, so they'll leave the middle of their
Speaker 10: defensive line vacant. And it's kind of jarring when you
Speaker 10: watch it on film, because like, well, I just run
Speaker 10: straight up the middle. You know, if you're going to
Speaker 10: be If I'm coming up and you're going a three
Speaker 10: and a five technique in the middle, you know the
Speaker 10: whole middle of the My guards are almost uncovered and
Speaker 10: my center is uncovered. I could just work up to
Speaker 10: the next level. But typically when they do that, they
Speaker 10: have really wide nine techniques. They want to get wide right,
Speaker 10: they want to get they want to get Bosa outside
Speaker 10: coming down on your defense end. They want they want
Speaker 10: Drake Jackson, they want him outside as well. But typically
Speaker 10: when they do that, they're stunning across right. So even
Speaker 10: though it looks vacant, they're coming down hard across your face.
Speaker 10: With Javon Hargrave and Eric Armstead, those dudes are freaking dudes.
Speaker 10: Obviously we know Armsteack becuse we face them the last
Speaker 10: few times, and Hardgrave just decided to leave Philly and
Speaker 10: take a trip over to the west coast to join
Speaker 10: that that that outfit as well, and the combination of
Speaker 10: those two.
Speaker 4: Guys are pretty serious.
Speaker 10: They have a solid front obviously with those two big
Speaker 10: fellas in the middle with the movement. They're not doing
Speaker 10: a ton of stunts, right, They're not. They're not like
Speaker 10: our defense. Most people are used to seeing our defense
Speaker 10: crossing face, bringing.
Speaker 4: A guy around.
Speaker 10: That's how they're trying to get That's how we typically
Speaker 10: try to free up Michael Parsons and d law We
Speaker 10: do a lot of stunts, right. We confuse that the
Speaker 10: offensive line in terms of okay, can you pass off
Speaker 10: these responsibilities, They don't necessarily do that. They're either coming
Speaker 10: downhill straight at you, or they're they're they're taking their
Speaker 10: inside guys and they're trying to cut across your face,
Speaker 10: I mean, really try to get some penetration that way
Speaker 10: by drawing double teams and then freeing up their defensive ends.
Speaker 10: So that's something that you have to be able to
Speaker 10: take care of upfront. If they decide to come out
Speaker 10: in that three and five technique, you have to keep
Speaker 10: those guys outside. You have to know they're going to
Speaker 10: try to cross your face and then they're gonna warner
Speaker 10: and the guys at the second level are gonna be
Speaker 10: coming in like heat seeking missiles.
Speaker 4: Those guys play fast, they're aggressive, but they're not very big.
Speaker 10: So I think as physical as those guys are at
Speaker 10: the second level, if you can handle the first level,
Speaker 10: you can run the ball on these guys.
Speaker 4: I truly believe that.
Speaker 10: I don't think too many teams challenge them in that
Speaker 10: regard because they have those two dogs in the middle.
Speaker 4: But you can get after them. Now. I say that
Speaker 4: whatever you typically do, and this is where it comes in.
Speaker 10: The positive side for us not having shown a whole
Speaker 10: lot offensively Schottenheimer and also coach McCarthy.
Speaker 4: If you show, if you come out and sets that.
Speaker 10: They're familiar with seeing on film, they will blow up
Speaker 10: your entire play.
Speaker 4: And that mainly comes from Bosa.
Speaker 10: There are literally plays and we're gonna we'll break this
Speaker 10: down on Film Room this week. I'm gonna expose some
Speaker 10: things defensively on the film in terms of how we
Speaker 10: can take advantage of them. But Bosa will literally call
Speaker 10: out what you're doing and literally change whatever front they have.
Speaker 10: He will move his alignment because he knows who the
Speaker 10: play is literally will change the play like he will
Speaker 10: just say, Okay, I'm supposed to be outside in the
Speaker 10: y technique, not screwed that I'm coming down into a
Speaker 10: seven and then I'm gonna stunt a across the face
Speaker 10: of the tight end and the tackle and I'm blow
Speaker 10: this play up. There's running play in the backfield and
Speaker 10: almost just take the handoff from you. So you have
Speaker 10: to be very on queue in terms of mixing up
Speaker 10: your your motions and your formations. If there are things
Speaker 10: that you want to get to formation formationally, you can't
Speaker 10: just line up in it right. You have to show
Speaker 10: some things that they're unfamiliar with. That way they can
Speaker 10: at least be having their head on the swivel a
Speaker 10: little bit and make them second guess what their film
Speaker 10: study has been.
Speaker 4: So that's really in the course.
Speaker 10: I believe you can run a ball at them, but
Speaker 10: you got to you have to be aggressive and get
Speaker 10: your pads low.
Speaker 3: It honestly makes me think back to what you talked
Speaker 3: about offensive line wise, in the scheme that San Francisco
Speaker 3: runs from an offensive front, and the way that they
Speaker 3: pull these guards and the way that they have a
Speaker 3: ton of misdirection and eye candy and the movement up front,
Speaker 3: and you can see that on the film, but you
Speaker 3: flip it to the defense, it's almost very similar. It's
Speaker 3: it's it's movement and motion and things of the sort
Speaker 3: that just keep the quarterback, keep the opposing offense a
Speaker 3: little bit on their heels before they run their play.
Speaker 10: Yeah, for sure, but they're not doing a whole lot
Speaker 10: of disguising, right, They're not trying to trick you on defense.
Speaker 3: It's different from what we've seen from teams like Arizona,
Speaker 3: New York Kirs teams with disguise.
Speaker 4: It's not a lot of a lot of disguise.
Speaker 10: Like these guys are just gonna line up and just
Speaker 10: I'm better than you and I'm a prove it every play.
Speaker 4: That's that's their mindset. They don't blitz a whole lot
Speaker 4: of they don't.
Speaker 10: They do not. They do not what I'm saying. They're
Speaker 10: just fully confident in, Hey, we're gonna play some basins.
Speaker 10: So that was pretty much the front seven, and let's
Speaker 10: take it out to the secondary.
Speaker 4: They they don't do a lot in the secondary. They
Speaker 4: want to play man.
Speaker 10: They want to walk up in your face and say
Speaker 10: I'm I'm gonna come up, I'm gonna put hands on
Speaker 10: your the line of scrimmage. I bet you can't get
Speaker 10: off the ball before my guys get to your quarterback.
Speaker 10: That's their mentality. And they do that with Leonora what's
Speaker 10: his name de Modor? I don't I don't know how
Speaker 10: to pronounce his name. My apologies, Leonor number two, number two,
Speaker 10: and Sharvarius Award, those two guys two and seven. Those
Speaker 10: guys are physical, super physical, physical to the point where
Speaker 10: I think they take the the mentality of who.
Speaker 4: Used to do this. It was it Dennis Robin in
Speaker 4: basketball back in the day.
Speaker 10: Dennis Robbin was like, if I hold you every play right,
Speaker 10: they're not gonna call a foul.
Speaker 1: I could be wrong on this.
Speaker 9: I really thought that was Legion of Boom though, too.
Speaker 9: I really thought the way the Legion of Boom played
Speaker 9: their defense in Seattle, it was like, you won't call
Speaker 9: all this with Earl Thomas on the back end and
Speaker 9: Cam Chancellor and those guys like that.
Speaker 1: Richard Sherman, you.
Speaker 4: Know, yeah.
Speaker 10: So so what we're talking about right now is if
Speaker 10: I come up and I and Kyle's receiver and I
Speaker 10: come up, say your CD, lamb I come up and
Speaker 10: I'm gonna hold you right, I'm gonna grab your jersey.
Speaker 10: I'm I'm gonna grab you at the line of scrimmage.
Speaker 10: I'm gonna ride you all the way to the five yards.
Speaker 10: But then I guess what, I'm gonna take it past
Speaker 10: the five yards. I'm gonna go six seven yards and
Speaker 10: guess what I might get called once. I might get
Speaker 10: called twice maybe then maybe twice the entire.
Speaker 4: Six or seven yards. Yeah, something touch you there. But
Speaker 4: that's what they're doing. They are.
Speaker 10: When I say riding, I mean literally like scared straight,
Speaker 10: hold my pocket square, like, that's what they're That's what
Speaker 10: they're doing right now. And they're I don't know if
Speaker 10: you guys remember that shit left right back, scared stress,
Speaker 10: scared straight. You remember an episode that he made a
Speaker 10: little kid his hold his pocket. Yeah, he's like, hold
Speaker 10: my pocket like, that's what it like. That's what they're doing.
Speaker 1: And they're any traumatizing moment.
Speaker 8: Yeah sure so, but that's literally he remembers it much differently.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So this is him going through the filing cabinet
Speaker 3: in his head like a reference here it is.
Speaker 10: Yeah, but this is this goes back to my point
Speaker 10: earlier in the week where I said that I'm not
Speaker 10: sure that what we've been doing offensively is offensively is
Speaker 10: going to work against San Francisco from the receiver standpoint,
Speaker 10: because if you're running five to seven yard routes, well,
Speaker 10: guess what they are holding you from five to seven yards.
Speaker 10: They're in your hip pocket for five it's to seven yards.
Speaker 10: So there's no separation being created unless you can literally
Speaker 10: just beat these guys off the line of scrimmage.
Speaker 4: So let's take our fish shirre.
Speaker 10: We've been throwing the ball about thirty five times a game, Okay,
Speaker 10: So out of thirty five passes, if I'm holding you
Speaker 10: called it twenty five at a time, twenty five times,
Speaker 10: and most of your routes are five to seven yards,
Speaker 10: I'm going to have a pretty good shot of denying
Speaker 10: your ability to get open.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 10: I know CD worked on his releases a lot this offseason,
Speaker 10: but based upon running out routes, slant routes, right, little fades,
Speaker 10: it's not a high probability that I'm gonna beat you
Speaker 10: off the ball a lot, right, So some of these
Speaker 10: routes are going to have to get pushed down the way, right,
Speaker 10: So knowing that CD you have to win with the
Speaker 10: line scrimmage b Cooks, this might be a great game
Speaker 10: for Bee Cooks to be able to get to win
Speaker 10: some Jalen Tolbert might come into the play this week
Speaker 10: in terms of having a big body receiver, big physical receiver.
Speaker 10: But he's gonna have to turn on that physical aspect.
Speaker 10: But these guys want to play man. They want to
Speaker 10: come up, they want to play man. When they're not
Speaker 10: playing man and they go too high, it's usually because
Speaker 10: they're either ahead. When they go ahead, they like to
Speaker 10: go two safeties. They like to play ben but don't
Speaker 10: break right. We talked about that with New England. As
Speaker 10: soon as they get ahead and about a little bit
Speaker 10: of probably about ten points, they play off. They play
Speaker 10: off and you can have your way with them. They
Speaker 10: will give yards all day long. You can run out routes,
Speaker 10: hitch routes, all that stuff. They'll give you that stuff
Speaker 10: all day long. As soon as they go too high safety,
Speaker 10: it's either going to be Cover four or it's gonna
Speaker 10: be a variation, or it's gonna be Cover six, variation
Speaker 10: of four and two on the other side.
Speaker 8: Quick question, Yeah, you're talking about the physicality of the
Speaker 8: guys on the boundary. Specifically, would it be more beneficial
Speaker 8: to have a guy like CD that has that really
Speaker 8: inept release ability and he's attitude over the offseason, or
Speaker 8: would you rather have Michael Gallup who's got a little
Speaker 8: bit more physical more physicality on the boundary.
Speaker 6: Throw it up to him and see what he can do.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 10: I think that you'll have an opportunity for some jump
Speaker 10: balls against these guys that truly do because their safeties
Speaker 10: as long as you can keep it out the middle
Speaker 10: of the field, their safetyes aren't going to get too involved.
Speaker 4: The guys that are on the edges.
Speaker 10: You know, talking about who is talking about the reward
Speaker 10: and Leonora, those two guys they are, they don't have
Speaker 10: a lot of awareness in terms of the ball. They
Speaker 10: literally just want to grab you and hold you and
Speaker 10: ride you like they take pride and denying you in
Speaker 10: that regard. They're not concerned about the ball. They're concerned
Speaker 10: about getting into it one on one with you. So
Speaker 10: I believe that you will have some opportunities for some
Speaker 10: jump balls, and you can probably those are fifty to
Speaker 10: fifty balls in terms of catching, But once you throw
Speaker 10: it up there if those guys are pulling in holding,
Speaker 10: you have a great probability of getting a flag as well.
Speaker 10: So I think this is the game to get out
Speaker 10: of the West Coast a little bit more than we
Speaker 10: have to date, because I think you'll have an opportunity
Speaker 10: for Calum and get some jump bass, Tober to get
Speaker 10: some jump ball CD to get some jump bass.
Speaker 6: Or wait, push down field.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah yeah, but to that point. Okay, So that
Speaker 4: great transition.
Speaker 10: So that's in the secondary bart when when they do
Speaker 10: decide to pressure, they have a great understanding of your
Speaker 10: offensive blocking scheme risk so very much so like dan Quinn,
Speaker 10: we've shown some things a couple I think maybe even
Speaker 10: last week where dan Quinn was no it was dan
Speaker 10: it was New England where they did a good job
Speaker 10: of coming up and knowing what you were doing protection
Speaker 10: wise and drawing your drawing your office lineman to your
Speaker 10: attentions and head linebackers the head fake right, drawing you
Speaker 10: up and then backing off. They do the same exact thing,
Speaker 10: except for instead of that guy backing off, they'll line
Speaker 10: Warner up right, they'll go those wide techniques, they'll go
Speaker 10: to three in the five, put Bosa on the outside.
Speaker 10: Put Bosa coming off the edge, walk Warner up in
Speaker 10: the middle. Okay, draw that guard. As soon as that
Speaker 10: guard comes to Warner, he'll go and literally instead of
Speaker 10: rushing right, instead of rushing and going in the running
Speaker 10: back picking him up, he will go and push the
Speaker 10: offensive tackle off of Bosa. He will do this like
Speaker 10: as soon as they know it as a five man
Speaker 10: protection instead of rushing. Okay, once they draw that guy,
Speaker 10: the guard go somewhere else. The running backs supposed to
Speaker 10: be taken. Warner literally has a clear shot at the
Speaker 10: quarterback except for the running back impeding his ability to
Speaker 10: get there. Instead of taking that rush, he would much
Speaker 10: rather free up Bosa, so he passes up the rush.
Speaker 4: He will go and literally push the tackle.
Speaker 10: Right, all his energy going on inside shoulder, push the tackle,
Speaker 10: and Bosa will come off of his butt and then
Speaker 10: you have your running back trying to block Bosa. That's
Speaker 10: what they want to do, so their scheme isn't necessarily
Speaker 10: get anybody home except for Bosa, and their whole schemes
Speaker 10: are to free him up.
Speaker 4: He is their game wrecord.
Speaker 3: So it takes a good read from a guy like
Speaker 3: Warner to diagnose that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, post snap Yep.
Speaker 3: Once the snap happens, he's got diagnosed. Sorry, there's a
Speaker 3: five man front coming my way and it's the running back.
Speaker 3: And then he's got to make the split second decision
Speaker 3: to try and help out ninety seven.
Speaker 4: Absolutely get there and help out both.
Speaker 10: And that's why I'm saying, from the protection standpoint and
Speaker 10: from the receiver standpoint, in terms of your schemes your
Speaker 10: passing game, you have to change up what you've been doing.
Speaker 4: You have to change up what you're doing. You have
Speaker 4: to push the ball down the field more.
Speaker 10: Otherwise you're gonna have a lot of contested passes, and
Speaker 10: you have to change up your blocking.
Speaker 4: Scheme a little bit.
Speaker 10: Otherwise these guys are going to pick apart and you're
Speaker 10: gonna have both that having a field day. You can
Speaker 10: go out there and chip them. There is some film
Speaker 10: of guys going out there and getting some good chips,
Speaker 10: but that's not something that you're gonna do every single play.
Speaker 9: You think that this is a game where potentially Deck
Speaker 9: gets out of the pocket more just to maybe buy
Speaker 9: some time to get some of those receivers more open
Speaker 9: if there's nothing there, or possibly uses legs or run more.
Speaker 4: There are so the weakness of this defense.
Speaker 10: And again I will check out film room this week
Speaker 10: because you'll be able to see it better when they
Speaker 10: decide to play coverage. Okay, they're playing man. One thing
Speaker 10: about man is the cornerbacks can't see what's behind them
Speaker 10: right once they get their shoulders turned to the side.
Speaker 10: And now I'm running, say ce D runs a go,
Speaker 10: my back is turned to the original line of screamage.
Speaker 4: I can't see what's behind me anymore.
Speaker 10: Their weakness defensively is their second level defenders. Okay, they're linebackers.
Speaker 10: Warner on Greenlaw. Those guys are really good. They're faster
Speaker 10: the physical, but they give a lot. They give a
Speaker 10: ton so shallow routes right under routes. If you are
Speaker 10: going to go into the West Coast game, you have
Speaker 10: to go into your drive concepts. Less of the outbreaking stuff,
Speaker 10: more the stuff across the middle, because their linebackers end
Speaker 10: up dropping about ten to twelve yards off the ball,
Speaker 10: So you get you have an opportunity to hit Beat
Speaker 10: Cooks on a nice little five yard shallow route across
Speaker 10: the center, get them to ball in his hands and
Speaker 10: let them run with it. Right, But that's how you
Speaker 10: have to attack these guys. The middle of their defense
Speaker 10: is weak coverage wise, and that's how I believe that
Speaker 10: you can win against I think you can run the
Speaker 10: ball against them as long as you can get up
Speaker 10: to that second level and don't let them stunt across
Speaker 10: your face.
Speaker 6: Tall task, yeah, tall, but they but they.
Speaker 10: Do expose themselves when they line up wide right, as
Speaker 10: soon as they vacate that middle. You know, Okay, they're
Speaker 10: not gonna leave the middle vacant. They're not blitzing up
Speaker 10: the middle. They least they haven't shown that, right. So
Speaker 10: most of the time, as soon as I get you
Speaker 10: in that three and five technique, I just got to
Speaker 10: keep you out there, right, and I need to keep
Speaker 10: I need I need Martin to take care of his business.
Speaker 10: I need Toyler Smith to take care of his business.
Speaker 10: Keep those guys out there and be honist. I need
Speaker 10: you go pick off one of those linebackers, right, Just
Speaker 10: get up to the next level and a TP.
Speaker 4: You got to make one of those linebackers miss.
Speaker 3: That's so that easy, right, all right?
Speaker 1: Thanks guys, that's how you win the game.
Speaker 3: Cowboys are now four and one, and we're moving on
Speaker 3: to face the Chargers on Monday Night Football. I want
Speaker 3: to go back to one of the talking points.
Speaker 4: You just you just mentioned with with.
Speaker 3: Fred Warner kind of helping Bosa off of his block. One,
Speaker 3: how unique is that? Is that something that a lot
Speaker 3: of teams have done in the past that you've seen period?
Speaker 4: And Two?
Speaker 3: If Dallas wanted to copycat League this thing and just
Speaker 3: take this, how well would that work with Leyton vander
Speaker 3: esh de mont Clark and trying to free top free
Speaker 3: up a guy like Michael Parson's.
Speaker 10: Oh, I mean it works really well. I mean it
Speaker 10: works really well because because you're so locked in, so
Speaker 10: I'm trying to figure out how to say this over
Speaker 10: the air and make it make sense. Imagine Bosa outside
Speaker 10: of your outside of your tackle on the right side. Okay,
Speaker 10: Bosa's outside of your tackle. The nearest defender isn't a
Speaker 10: three technique, so he's inside right inside of your guard, Okay,
Speaker 10: pretty much, pretty much.
Speaker 4: So there's a big gap.
Speaker 10: There's a huge gap between between your tackle and your
Speaker 10: guard right So all of a sudden, Warner inserts himself. Okay,
Speaker 10: so the three technique has to get taken by your guard,
Speaker 10: so your right guard goes left, your right tackle goes
Speaker 10: right right, there's a big void right there. Warner, instead
Speaker 10: of running straight towards your running back who's now responsible
Speaker 10: for him in pass protection, Warner sprints and literally just
Speaker 10: puts his weight on the inside left hip of your
Speaker 10: right tackle, just runs through the left hip of your tackle.
Speaker 3: And then it allows Bosa to straight off of that.
Speaker 10: Absolutely, But where's your running back going. Your running back's
Speaker 10: going to get who to the whole Your running back's
Speaker 10: going to Warner right. So as Warner goes to the right,
Speaker 10: your running back goes to the right. So then there's
Speaker 10: a huge So then there's a whole, huge hole. So
Speaker 10: now the person that's responsible for Bosa is now pushed
Speaker 10: off his mark. He can't get back right, and then
Speaker 10: you have Bosa coming inside, which you're running back off balance.
Speaker 10: It's a cold combination, but you you have to choose right.
Speaker 8: And I think what hurts here even more is if
Speaker 8: Freako Dabble can't go, because then you're you're relying on
Speaker 8: to Tony Pauler down for down or maybe trying to
Speaker 8: get Hunter Lokey involved in pass protection.
Speaker 6: But that's that's that's that's tough.
Speaker 9: Yeah, And that's doesn't need that No, he does not
Speaker 9: know what I'm saying. But what if in the game
Speaker 9: he doesn't need that because he just routinely winning is one.
Speaker 10: Yeah, and this again, what I'm mentioning when i'm describing
Speaker 10: is just a change up, right, This is just a change,
Speaker 10: And this is not something that they do every single time,
Speaker 10: but this is one of the ways they create pressure
Speaker 10: without blitzing. Yeah, this is how they create pressure without blitzing.
Speaker 10: They will blitz occasionally, it's not their thing. And the
Speaker 10: reason why it's not their thing is because a lot
Speaker 10: of times they're playing man to man and when you're
Speaker 10: playing a man of man and you're blitzing, you're leaving
Speaker 10: a lot of freaking gaping holes.
Speaker 4: Right, Big plays happen.
Speaker 10: So they much rather put pressure with five guys instead
Speaker 10: of their six or seven guys that they want to
Speaker 10: bring right, So they're not going to expose themselves in
Speaker 10: that regard. But again, going back to the film, and
Speaker 10: we'll highlight this again, the middle of their field is vacant.
Speaker 10: It's it's booty but naked vacant. And the outsides are
Speaker 10: also vacant. But you've got to give your guys a
Speaker 10: chance to win. You can't dink and dunk on the
Speaker 10: outside unless you see them playing too high, too high safety.
Speaker 10: They're playing cover for a majority of the time, playing
Speaker 10: off and inside. Not even off and outside, they're playing
Speaker 10: off and inside. So all your hitches, your comebacks, all
Speaker 10: that stuff is literally passing catch. You just got to
Speaker 10: make sure you protect and give Dak time to get
Speaker 10: the ball off.
Speaker 3: That's the biggest key I think is as long as
Speaker 3: you give time to get the ball away and you're
Speaker 3: able to maybe push it down the field a little bit,
Speaker 3: more things should open up for this offense when we
Speaker 3: come back. Though, with all of this being said about
Speaker 3: San Francisco defensively, who could be in store for a
Speaker 3: big game on the Dallas offensive side and who can
Speaker 3: take advantage of some of these mismatches when we come
Speaker 3: back With more talking cowboys.

Speaker 2: Bad to Talking Cowboys.
Speaker 3: This segment is brought to you by in visi Line,
Speaker 3: the official smile of the Dallas Cowboys. Welcome into the
Speaker 3: final segment of Talking Cowboy. By the way, speaking of
Speaker 3: invisil Line, my final trade.
Speaker 10: Hey, alright, alright, look at those teeth, Look at those yeah.
Speaker 3: Thank you, and visil Line appreciate it.
Speaker 4: That's just that's just a year, a little bit of chance.
Speaker 1: Things fake, they're so perfect.
Speaker 4: It's nice. I like it in vizil Line.
Speaker 3: I will say this is not They don't pay me
Speaker 3: any extra money, even though I wish they would.
Speaker 4: The It's the best thing I could have done for
Speaker 4: my teeth.
Speaker 3: It was incredible and it was super easy.
Speaker 4: Not painful.
Speaker 6: I got next.
Speaker 4: I'm home with it. Yeah, it was. It was great.
Speaker 3: I highly highly recommended. All right, back heard Nick Harris,
Speaker 3: Isaiah stand back, John Machoda, Chris Beam in the back
Speaker 3: of Kyle yeomens.
Speaker 4: What now Now that Nick says that visil line, they
Speaker 4: hook us all up and Kyle's.
Speaker 3: Like, that'll be the next step.
Speaker 4: They'll be like, all right, Nick gets in John.
Speaker 3: All right, I'll be like, all right, thanks, guys, don't
Speaker 3: yeah there line.
Speaker 4: That's good.
Speaker 6: I'm learning.
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right. Based off of what Isaiah laid out
Speaker 3: in that last segment, Nick, who do you feel like
Speaker 3: has the best opportunity for this Cowboys offense to have
Speaker 3: success on Sunday?
Speaker 6: Man, I feel like I've been saying it three weeks
Speaker 6: in a row. Now, Brandon Cooks.
Speaker 8: Okay, yeah, Hunter, lookie, Brandon Cooks, there's gonna be opportunities
Speaker 8: for him. You were talking about the speed in the
Speaker 8: second level for San Francisco. I like Dallas to speed more,
Speaker 8: even not only in the second level, but in the
Speaker 8: secondary as well. You know, if you can fight off
Speaker 8: that contact that you were talking about in the secondary,
Speaker 8: there's gonna be a lot of opportunities to get up
Speaker 8: and downfield and get some big plays.
Speaker 6: I feel like.
Speaker 8: But it's again being able to control things up front.
Speaker 8: If Dak just has a sliver of more time than
Speaker 8: what San Francisco has provided other quarterbacks so far this season,
Speaker 8: then I feel like he can do what he can do.
Speaker 8: And that's that's what this offense is predicated around. We've
Speaker 8: talked about it so much, but I think Brandon Cooks
Speaker 8: he has a really good opportunity to finally break open
Speaker 8: and have a big game.
Speaker 4: Jerry talked about that earlier in the week as well.
Speaker 3: I mean, he was asked on the one O five
Speaker 3: through the Fan interview about brand and Cooks and have
Speaker 3: you been surprised it's taken this long to get to
Speaker 3: that point? And he said, no, this is something that
Speaker 3: I think was anticipated. Part of that is probably a
Speaker 3: little bit of Jerry just trying to pump up the
Speaker 3: player and give some confidence there. But I do agree
Speaker 3: when you watch the film of Brandon Cooks, he's not
Speaker 3: losing battles.
Speaker 4: That's not the point.
Speaker 3: It's the fact that he hasn't been either in the
Speaker 3: right spot for Dak Prescott to see him, or the
Speaker 3: pressures there from an offensive line standpoint, I think I
Speaker 3: agree with you. I think Brandon Cooks has an awesome
Speaker 3: opportunity this week.
Speaker 4: To put up some numbers.
Speaker 3: He may not have triple digits, but I'm sure he
Speaker 3: could get some more targets. He can reel in a
Speaker 3: couple more passes and just be more of a productive piece.
Speaker 10: Of that offense moving into this this match, I would
Speaker 10: be Cooks that between one hundred and nineteen to one
Speaker 10: hundred and twenty seven yards.
Speaker 3: This Weekend's that's not a very large window.
Speaker 8: That's a lot. Wow, I do I gonna make a
Speaker 8: better of that. I already made a pat to It
Speaker 8: was clothed.
Speaker 4: It was clothed.
Speaker 1: You don't go, you don't ever want to go.
Speaker 10: I foresiate it if they utilize him the way in
Speaker 10: which I know he can be utilized, which I think
Speaker 10: they're I think he's tired of not getting opportunities.
Speaker 4: I mentioned this last weeks.
Speaker 10: I think he's that was the last week where he
Speaker 10: was like, Hey, if I don't get the ball, this week,
Speaker 10: he's probably gonna start speaking up a little bit.
Speaker 4: I think this is the week.
Speaker 10: That he that he has his his his hello Hello
Speaker 10: Dallas party, and I think from the standpoint of what
Speaker 10: they do, I think CD becomes more of the.
Speaker 4: The decoy this week.
Speaker 10: Not to say that he doesn't get the ball, but
Speaker 10: I think this is the game where you're like, Okay,
Speaker 10: go ahead, focusing on CD. Right, Well, since we're running
Speaker 10: beat Cooks on five yard routes anyway majority of the time,
Speaker 10: let's go ahead. Throw them on a little shallow put
Speaker 10: them on a short split, run them on a shallow
Speaker 10: because when you go condensed split against these guys, they
Speaker 10: back off. That's one thing I didn't mention last seven.
Speaker 10: When you go conden splits, they back off because they
Speaker 10: because they're playing man, they're trying to in and out
Speaker 10: it right, and they get confused sometimes. So if you
Speaker 10: come down in a short split, it's like, Okay, me
Speaker 10: and Nick, like, all right, all right, here we go.
Speaker 3: So whoever comes out to me, explain a short split
Speaker 3: just for the at home.
Speaker 10: So like when the receiver's closer to your to the
Speaker 10: tight end, right, so instead of being all the way
Speaker 10: out wide out to the sideline, you bring him down
Speaker 10: like he's gonna you make it easier for him to
Speaker 10: get across the field on a shallow route or a
Speaker 10: drive route, right, so he's closer to the to the box,
Speaker 10: to the that's probably the best way to say it.
Speaker 10: So he's able to get across the formation quicker. But
Speaker 10: when you do that, it's it's a lot more difficult
Speaker 10: to play lockman, right, meaning that hey, I.
Speaker 4: Have Kyle, all right, you have Nick.
Speaker 10: Okay, as soon as they come down to a short split,
Speaker 10: they can criss cross. So in order for us not
Speaker 10: to run into each other, we have a medium. Yeah,
Speaker 10: we now have to back up and say, hey, okay,
Speaker 10: now let's let's sort this thing out.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 10: Whoever, if somebody comes your way, you take them, because
Speaker 10: my way I'll take him. But the switch release releases
Speaker 10: mix all that up, and they're trying to figure that out, right,
Speaker 10: So as soon as you know Kyle and Nick.
Speaker 4: Switch is like, Okay, I got this.
Speaker 10: Guy right, and I know when my time, when I
Speaker 10: was with Wes Welker, Wes Welker would put himself in
Speaker 10: motion just to figure out who was going to be
Speaker 10: in and who's going to be out, and he would
Speaker 10: tell me in his motion to switch my my release
Speaker 10: that we had mapped out right, I was supposed to
Speaker 10: go inside. Normally he would literally run motion and he
Speaker 10: will check it out, check it out, and on his
Speaker 10: way back he'd be like out out, out out. He
Speaker 10: was talking to me saying, Okay, instead of running your
Speaker 10: inside release on this route, go outside, because I'm about
Speaker 10: to screw the crap out of these guys because I
Speaker 10: know there. I now know by doing my motion, I
Speaker 10: was able to determine who's responsible for me. And since
Speaker 10: I know who's responsible for me, I'm about to mix
Speaker 10: them up.
Speaker 1: And then you were like, no, Wes, this is my.
Speaker 6: You listen to me.
Speaker 9: But there is one play that going back to that
Speaker 9: they've done earlier this season where Ferguson runs that rub
Speaker 9: that get CD wide open on the sideline like that,
Speaker 9: and they really haven't come back to something like that again.
Speaker 9: So that interests me also because of just the fact
Speaker 9: of in those two games against San Francisco, these last
Speaker 9: two that's eighteen targets combined eight one game ten and
Speaker 9: the other for Dalton Schultz and Ferguson's coming off of this,
Speaker 9: you know, career game seven targets, seven catches, seventy seven yards.
Speaker 9: I think he's a guy to also actually have maybe
Speaker 9: a surprise game there. There were a lot of opportunities
Speaker 9: in both those games for Dalton Schultz.
Speaker 3: You know, I'm excited, and you brought this memory back up.
Speaker 3: I mean, we talked about it after that. It was
Speaker 3: the first game of the year is against the Giants.
Speaker 3: I believe when you're talking about that rub route with.
Speaker 4: CD that opened things up.
Speaker 3: We were saying, Wow, the Cowboys as a team have
Speaker 3: not run the rub route.
Speaker 4: They haven't run those legal picks.
Speaker 3: As you would say in the NFL, pick is not allowed.
Speaker 9: But you run a rub route, you have to be
Speaker 9: running a route. You can't just run at somebody. And
Speaker 9: you see it a lot in the college game where
Speaker 9: guys are just like, right off the snap, you're just like,
Speaker 9: you can't just go run out and block.
Speaker 1: They're going to call it every time.
Speaker 9: But if you make it look like you're running a
Speaker 9: route to where you're going, then yeah, they won't call it.
Speaker 1: But that was always feel like we're great with that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Patriots have always been really good at it.
Speaker 4: I mean there's there's teams.
Speaker 3: I think the Eagles do it really well now. But
Speaker 3: then you also you take what they've done the Cowboys
Speaker 3: have done in the past.
Speaker 4: They haven't run those rub routes the same way.
Speaker 3: And we looked at it in week one and said, wow, okay,
Speaker 3: here we go, the new scheme, new office, it's West Coast.
Speaker 4: Here it comes rub routes. This is gonna be great.
Speaker 3: We haven't seen it since at least at least to
Speaker 3: that success.
Speaker 4: We haven't seen it.
Speaker 10: I know people don't want to hear this, but the
Speaker 10: reality is, I'm sorry, and I know i'll see coach
Speaker 10: McCarthy later he'll probably look at me sideways.
Speaker 4: But they've been saving a lot. I feel. This is
Speaker 4: my feeling. Okay.
Speaker 10: They went through the first part of this season knowing
Speaker 10: that what they had was probably enough, and as the
Speaker 10: game started to play out, they realized that, okay, we
Speaker 10: don't have to display a lot of the things that
Speaker 10: we maybe even we already were playing on holding back,
Speaker 10: but now we can hold back even more.
Speaker 3: Three of the four games, Yeah, three to four games
Speaker 3: defends like read night this week.
Speaker 4: If you even look.
Speaker 9: At the last few years, like the Cowboys have gotten
Speaker 9: off to pot starts and then there just hasn't been
Speaker 9: something for the answer late in the year and they've
Speaker 9: kind of gone in the playoffs not playing their best ball,
Speaker 9: whereas the San Francisco or Philadelphia at times they were
Speaker 9: playing their best ball. So to me, it does make
Speaker 9: sense maybe save save some things so that you do
Speaker 9: have something that's not like, oh, well, we've seen them
Speaker 9: run that a thousand times. In this situation, this is
Speaker 9: exactly what the Cowboys are gonna do.
Speaker 10: That's a great thing about the West Coast offense though, Right, So,
Speaker 10: as soon as we heard about the West Coast offense,
Speaker 10: you ask Kyle, I got super excited.
Speaker 4: Because there's so many things that you can do through
Speaker 4: a party. Oh my West Coast party, it's I mean
Speaker 4: head in and no, no, it didn't have waterburger.
Speaker 10: You can run the same concept, right, You could run
Speaker 10: the same concept ten different ways easily, and it looks
Speaker 10: and for you your responsibilities are exactly the same. My
Speaker 10: confidence level in running the route is uber high because
Speaker 10: I've ran this route a gazillion times.
Speaker 4: I'm not changing what I'm doing. I'm changing the way
Speaker 4: it looks to you.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 4: So with that, these guys can do a whole lot.
Speaker 4: They can do.
Speaker 10: They can line up in a in a in a
Speaker 10: freaking double formation, they can shift, they could shift from that,
Speaker 10: then they can motion over to a bunch set. I mean,
Speaker 10: they could do a whole lot of things and run
Speaker 10: the exact same routes. Only then they're changing. Is hey,
Speaker 10: how we line up, what we shift to, what we're
Speaker 10: gonna motion to. Defense has to figure out a whole lot.
Speaker 10: They're changing between one call. We're going man, Okay, no
Speaker 10: we're going to Okay, no, we're going back to four.
Speaker 10: Oh just just just go forward, back up, Okay, cool,
Speaker 10: we got you under out. Let's go ten yards all right,
Speaker 10: move the chains next, play right, and then you just
Speaker 10: got to One thing that Dallas has to do is
Speaker 10: be patient. Be willing to take the little, the little
Speaker 10: small game right underneath. Be willing to play a small game.
Speaker 10: Don't get into all this talking up front, because that
Speaker 10: front seven is going to talk. The front seven is
Speaker 10: gonna do this all day long, and they're in the
Speaker 10: DB's are going to talk. They want to grab you
Speaker 10: and hold you. CD has to have the highest intelligent
Speaker 10: emotional intelligence intelligence that he's had to date, because they're
Speaker 10: going to be in his ear and they're going to
Speaker 10: try to get him out of his game. And I
Speaker 10: think he's working out of that. I think there's only
Speaker 10: one game this year where you saw him kind of
Speaker 10: kind of kind of revert back a.
Speaker 4: Little bit to the Lost Arizona. Yeah, he was really frustrated.
Speaker 10: Right, Just just be emotionally high, right, and just put
Speaker 10: your blockers on and go on to the next play.
Speaker 10: Because these guys want to get you talking. It's going
Speaker 10: to be a crazy atmosphere. Just execute your game plan.
Speaker 10: Just freaking execute your game plan, and I think you
Speaker 10: would get these guys looking around like, oh crap, this
Speaker 10: just got real.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I love this stuff, man, I really do.
Speaker 3: I love looking into this matchup and looking at the
Speaker 3: little intricacies of what this game can entail. Because everybody's
Speaker 3: gonna be watching. Everyone will be watching. There's gonna be
Speaker 3: thirty million people watching on Sunday Sunday Night football.
Speaker 4: Between the forty nine ers and the cowboys.
Speaker 3: But there's only gonna be a select few that watch
Speaker 3: talking Cowboys and really know what's going I really know
Speaker 3: how to dissect what's happening on that field in Santa
Speaker 3: Clair at Levi Stadium. All right, gentlemen, John, have fun
