Speaker 2: Ready for a break?

8
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, And so much for that.

9
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 5: It's time for the Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com.

10
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 4: We were on with Mbar Garcia, Brian brought us, Patrick

11
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 4: Walker and Derek Eagleton.

12
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 6: It is Wednesday, January third, twenty twenty four, season nineteen,

13
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 6: episode number one hundred. Welcome to the latest edition of

14
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 6: The Break Life in SWBC Mortgage Studios at the Star.

15
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 6: We're talking Washington Commanders versus Cowboys today. We'll start off

16
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 6: with the Washington offense versus the Cowboys defense. Got lots

17
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 6: of storylines that hit there before we do that, though, Man,

18
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 6: some interesting little developments here around the roster over the

19
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 6: last twenty four hours, and one that I don't know

20
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 6: if I would say it's even likely, but I think

21
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 6: it's worth a discussion of a player that's been released

22
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 6: and looks like he may be available at some point here.

23
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 2: So let's talk a little bit about first Lyle Collins.

24
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 6: At the end of our show yesterday, Patrick, you reported

25
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 6: that the Cowboys are going to have him in for workout.

26
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 2: What were the results of that workout? Number one? By

27
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 2: the way, I love that hat, thank you. What was

28
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 2: the results? What was the results of the workout number one?

29
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 2: And number two?

30
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 6: Where do we stand as far as contract, no contract whatever.

31
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 4: Collins was exceptional in the workout. Cowboys were very, very impressed,

32
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,759
Speaker 4: particularly with his physical shape. I saw him walking through

33
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 4: the facility yesterday, so he certainly passed my eye test

34
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 4: with Flying Colors. Looks in fantastic shape, physically went through

35
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 4: his physical past that with Flying Colors, and they moved

36
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 4: on to the negotiation phase as we speak. It is

37
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 4: expected that it will land. It could land at any moment,

38
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 4: but it's not official quite yet. We saw that Lyle

39
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 4: Collins was celebrating online yesterday. We'd love to see it.

40
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 4: And via multiple reports, it is expected that they've agreed

41
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 4: to terms, but sounds like they were working through just

42
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 4: a little bit more contractuals to make sure things get done,

43
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 4: you know, agreeable to both parties. But as far as

44
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 4: the expectation for Collins win, which is what the expectation

45
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 4: is when he comes in, He's not expected to take

46
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 4: anyone spot on the starting five. He would be a

47
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 4: depth piece, likely going to the practice squad. So that's

48
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 4: the latest. Barring any type of unexpected mishap with the

49
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 4: during the negotiations, Colin should be rejoining the team.

50
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 2: Brian, tell me give mess scatter report. What was he

51
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 2: at the last time he was playing.

52
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 7: He was not a good player. He was broken down,

53
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 7: He couldn't move, he couldn't bend. One of the reasons

54
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,399
Speaker 7: why they didn't play mcguard is because he couldn't bend

55
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 7: very well. Wasn't in great shape physically. He was beat

56
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 7: up really bad. He was dealing with the back, he

57
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 7: was dealing with the knee. You know, the Bengal are

58
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 7: a team that struggles with their offensive line, and they

59
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 7: clearly moved on from him. He just wasn't a good

60
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 7: enough player. The availability wasn't there either, So there was

61
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 7: a lot of things about that experience in Cincinnati that

62
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,839
Speaker 7: that really didn't pan out very well for him.

63
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, and that's the thing I assume at this point,

64
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 6: at least from from what we're hearing, they think he

65
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 6: looks good now and maybe that time away could have

66
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 6: helped with some of that that physical stuff that was

67
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 6: going on.

68
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 2: That may make him, you know, a little more available

69
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 2: to the cow.

70
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 6: It wasn't quite Frankly, if he's a backup, my thought

71
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 6: is you need him to just be available to you

72
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 6: in the event of something going wrong with ty.

73
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 7: I think there where you look at this is he's

74
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 7: they're clearly going to look at him as a tackle.

75
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 7: I talked to somebody in an organization. They want him

76
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 7: to play tackle. They didn't want him to play guard.

77
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 7: So if you were worried about this, I think it's

78
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 7: more of a protection about what's going on with ty

79
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 7: Uh with Tyron Smith that left tackle. Now, the problem

80
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 7: you get into is Lyle Collins is a left tackle

81
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 7: is probably not the best answer, But that give you

82
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 7: the flexibility to move if you had to, if you

83
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 7: had to move Terrence Steel over and let Steal play

84
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 7: left tackle, let Collins play right tackle. You know, you

85
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 7: know they've got a Doga. I'm talking to folks in

86
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 7: the organization about it. They're like, you know, if you

87
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 7: had to play with Lyle Collins for one or two games,

88
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 7: you could probably be just fine doing that.

89
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 3: That's kind of how they're looking at this right now.

90
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:26,479
Speaker 6: Did this all come about because of a Doga's game?

91
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 6: Versus Miami, where there were just lots of questions about.

92
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 3: The mental stuff.

93
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 7: Was that was I think that it was really more

94
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 7: about that, I don't know this time of year, you

95
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 7: have to trust your players, and I don't know from

96
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 7: my experiences when a guy has a bad game where

97
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 7: it turns into a mental are you making mistakes? Are

98
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 7: you're making mental mistakes? Can we trust you in these

99
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 7: games when they put you out there? And if they

100
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 7: can't trust you, then they're not going to play you.

101
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 7: The games are too important now you can't afford to

102
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 7: miss in any way. So that's I think that's why

103
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 7: they're they're trying to Will has always done a good

104
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 7: job of signing guys and trying to kind of cover

105
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 7: his positions if he can.

106
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 3: And you know the fact that they're getting into.

107
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 7: The playoffs, you know, you don't want to bring if

108
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 7: something were to happen to Smith, Tyron Smith, and you

109
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 7: bring in, say bringing Lyle Collins the week up, he's

110
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 7: not going to be ready to play. Now, you're giving

111
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 7: him a chance to at least be ready to play,

112
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 7: you know, in the coming weeks if he has to.

113
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 4: The Cowboys had already had Collins on their radar after

114
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 4: his split from the Bengals for such an occasion. So

115
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 4: if Chumi Ydoga had played well against the Dolphins, then

116
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 4: it's all likelihood of Lyle Collins is not in the building.

117
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 4: So that is in fact what caused him to pull

118
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 4: the trigger. But they at least had Collins on the

119
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 4: on the brain already. Well.

120
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:49,160
Speaker 8: Also, you gotta be mindful of the Tyler Smith injury,

121
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 8: which I know we talked about it on the show

122
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 8: already yesterday. I think where it's more pain and he's

123
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 8: got that injury, he's gonna play with it, but still

124
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 8: an injury nonetheless, where you got to take that into

125
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 8: consideration also, and they're dropping like flies, like you got

126
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 8: to bring him bodies. You literally have no other people

127
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 8: you can rely on. And I remember back with like, oh,

128
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,160
Speaker 8: I mean, it got to the point where you just

129
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 8: decided to release him, like okay, get out of here

130
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 8: because it was that bad and he was just not

131
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 8: being very I forgot he was. I know, he didn't

132
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,359
Speaker 8: he didn't want to play guard and he wanted to

133
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 8: be a tackle or advice which one was it?

134
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 4: He was? He just you do what you're told, Just

135
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 4: do what you're release Les.

136
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, yeah, So anyway, I'm sure clearly what we

137
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,039
Speaker 8: saw on his Instagram, he seems to be happy to

138
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 8: be coming back, so definitely something something and someone that's

139
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 8: familiar with the offense. What year did he leave.

140
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 4: After twenty one? He spent one? Yeah, he spent one

141
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 4: year with the Bengals. It was a three year deal

142
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 4: signed March last year, but it only extended the one year.

143
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 8: So it's pretty different the offense from the last time.

144
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 4: He was the same quarterback, same tyrants. Yeah, so I

145
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 4: mean as far as familiarity, there's.

146
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 8: Familiary different, but a lot of familiarity.

147
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 2: Here, so that helps with the players.

148
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 6: Maybe a different, different offense than what they were running back. Then,

149
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 6: does this say anything for you guys about where they

150
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 6: think Austin Richards is.

151
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 4: I think it does by default. I mean we talked

152
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 4: about awesome a couple of weeks ago, if that, and

153
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 4: I think they would like to see more from Austin

154
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 4: Richards from Austin Richards before they throw him out there,

155
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 4: especially as we approach the all important playoff games where

156
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 4: it's winner go home. I don't think that they feel

157
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 4: that there's a trust level there that they have with

158
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 4: him quite yet in his first year development. If that

159
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 4: were the case, he would have been taking snaps already

160
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 4: over like Chiumydoga, for example. But the fact that it's

161
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 4: Chillingeydoga getting the nod again against the Dolphins instead of

162
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 4: a guy like Austin Richards based on the importance of

163
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 4: that game as well, it tells you where the team

164
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 4: is and the coaching staff is mentally awesome. Obviously that

165
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 4: doesn't mean that they're out on him, but most certainly

166
00:07:57,960 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 4: they want to see more and I don't think they

167
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 4: think he's ready.

168
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 3: A coaching deal. Yeah, clearly.

169
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 2: All right, let's uh.

170
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 6: One of the guy I wanted to talk about, running

171
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 6: back Dalvin Cook.

172
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 2: He was released by the.

173
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 3: He had been on waivers.

174
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 4: He's not He's not on waivers, okay.

175
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 7: And now this morning, Well, when I asked somebody in

176
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 7: the organization last night to comment about it, he had

177
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 7: not been released on waivers.

178
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 3: So I'd be careful what you're doing.

179
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 4: Right, Okay.

180
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 6: Well, let's just put it like this as we have

181
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 6: to do. Yeah, this is all just based upon us

182
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 6: talking speculative.

183
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 3: There you go.

184
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 6: The reports are that he will be released and will

185
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 6: be on waivers as a four PM today. That is

186
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:37,199
Speaker 6: what NFL tom is reporting, the NFL network is But so.

187
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 7: Last night at about six o'clock, he had not been

188
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 7: on waivers.

189
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 2: So being clear, this is not tampering.

190
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 6: We are we are talking just among the four of

191
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 6: us us friends talking about what the.

192
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 2: NFL dot com and network our report.

193
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 4: All right.

194
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 6: So all that being said, uh NFL team, all right,

195
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 6: So let's just start there, though, Brian, I I want

196
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 6: you to give me kind of a scouting report on

197
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 6: Dalvin Cook, the running back. Obviously, last year I thought

198
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 6: he was still a really good back in Minnesota. I

199
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 6: thought Minnesota made a move that was probably more about

200
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 6: money than ability. But then he gets to the Jets,

201
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 6: hasn't played very much. I think he has sixty or

202
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 6: seventy runs this year. So where is he right now

203
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:23,439
Speaker 6: in his career as a running back?

204
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, he should feel real comfortable coming here and not

205
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 7: getting any run block and if that's the case, because

206
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 7: the same thing happens to him at the Jets. He

207
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 7: doesn't have the explosiveness he once had. I watched a

208
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 7: couple of games. Actually, with our ability, we can watch

209
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 7: all his carries and his most productive game was against

210
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 7: the Atlanta Falcons and only had thirty eight yards on

211
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 7: the day.

212
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 3: He hasn't played a whole lot.

213
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 7: He gets limited carries, he still catches the ball very well.

214
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 7: He does not pass block at all, and that will

215
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 7: drive these guys crazy here because they rely on their

216
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 7: guys to be able to blitz, pick up and stuff

217
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 7: like that. He struggled to get to the edge the

218
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 7: inside stuff. Again, they didn't block for him very well,

219
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 7: you know, the handoffs, which just seemed very much of

220
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 7: getting into the line. You know, we've seen him at

221
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 7: Minnesota with his ability to make people miss. He couldn't

222
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 7: make people miss, but the Jets they just don't block,

223
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 7: and so he's having to make a lot of people miss.

224
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 7: I don't think the Cowboys are going to do anything

225
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 7: with him, That's just my guess. I think they're you know,

226
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 7: even with the situation I saw today there was a

227
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 7: report that they put a dud on on ir now,

228
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 7: so you know that's you know, to bring up Fooko there.

229
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 3: So we'll see.

230
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 7: But I think it's going to be about you know,

231
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 7: getting Rico daddle back at using Hunter lipkey, you know,

232
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 7: trying to get him some confidence or get the coaches

233
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 7: some confidence. In him, But I really don't see them

234
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 7: going after this guy right now if he becomes available.

235
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 4: And just to be clear for everyone listening, every veteran

236
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 4: that is waived is subject to the waiver claim, So

237
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 4: if a team wants him, they first have to place

238
00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 4: a claim, and then if they clear waivers, that player

239
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 4: does then prede signed anywhere. I've gotten a lot of

240
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 4: questions on that on yesterday because they're saying, well, what

241
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 4: if it was mutual, it doesn't matter if he's waves

242
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,679
Speaker 4: slash released, got to go through waivers after the trade deadline.

243
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 4: I don't think Brian's wrong. I would I would speak

244
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 4: on it. From my aspect, I would bring Dalvin Cook

245
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 4: in because I know that to Brian's point, he struggled

246
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 4: with his limited reps in New York, but it's also

247
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 4: largely due to the fact that, well one, he's not

248
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 4: as explosive as he was in his prime form. But

249
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 4: that offensive line in New York is just it's abysmal.

250
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 4: It's abysmal when I know that the Cowboys have had

251
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 4: their issues blocking for Tony Pollard and that's been one

252
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 4: of the reasons that Pollard hasn't been as successful. But

253
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 4: I would love to see if Cook can do anything

254
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 4: here as RB three, and that means if needed. So

255
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 4: for me, you've now moved Deuce font Ir. I wonder,

256
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 4: and I said this yesterday, I wonder if Hunter Lip

257
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 4: kids kind of stealing the doghouse from that fumble because

258
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 4: it felt like it was it felt like he was

259
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 4: in Looking at the last game against the Lions, I say,

260
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:01,599
Speaker 4: you bring in Dalvin Cook, you put him on the

261
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 4: practice squad. You have as much veteran talent depth at

262
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 4: positions as you possibly can, which is one reason they're

263
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 4: looking at bringing LiOH Collins back. Because you want talented, proven,

264
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 4: veteran depth. You're going into the playoffs. You do not

265
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 4: want it to be a situation where, knock on all

266
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 4: the wood, you're in San Francisco in January with your

267
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 4: season on the line and one of your top running

268
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,199
Speaker 4: backs goes down with injury, and you're like, where do

269
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 4: we go from here?

270
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 3: Where do you stand with Malik Davis.

271
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 4: Last year going into the season, I had a lot

272
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 4: of promise for Maliite Davis because I love the way

273
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 4: he flashed last year when given the opportunity. But in

274
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 4: seeing his three elevations and the lack of utilization from

275
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 4: Elite Davis or the lack which goes to lack of

276
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 4: coaching coaches wanting to put him into those situations. For example,

277
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 4: against the Lions, they really beat that horse with Tony

278
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:52,319
Speaker 4: Pollard absent Rico Dalda. That's a situation where had Elite

279
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 4: Davis been able to be elevated, I would have liked

280
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 4: to see what they've done with him. But I don't

281
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 4: have a good sample size for twenty twenty three to

282
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,559
Speaker 4: make me confident right now going into the playoffs and

283
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,679
Speaker 4: Elite Davis. But I'm willing to see what that looks like.

284
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:05,959
Speaker 4: If you bring in Dalvin Cook, put him on the

285
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 4: practice squad, let him and Elie Davis kind of battle

286
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 4: that out, and then if the situation presents itself where

287
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 4: player X I'm not going to say names because I'm superstitious.

288
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 4: If player X at the running back position goes down

289
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 4: with injury in the playoffs, then you look at the

290
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:19,719
Speaker 4: leak and you look at Dalvin what they've done in

291
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:21,679
Speaker 4: the practice squad. Thus far as you say, Okay, that

292
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 4: guy or this guy, I just want the option is well,

293
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 4: if they're.

294
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 3: Not going to play Milik Davis are they going to

295
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 3: elevate this guy? Are they going to ellen? Yeah?

296
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 7: Are they going to elevate I mean you're talking about

297
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 7: that that there's not a big sample size and the

298
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 7: elevations you weren't overly impressed with. Is there a reason

299
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 7: then do you think they would elevate Dalvin Cook?

300
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 4: I think it's just it goes to one is proven,

301
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,079
Speaker 4: one is not as far as the league is concerned.

302
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 4: In the league, so in the situation where playoff game

303
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 4: might be on the line, if you lose one of

304
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 4: your top if you lose this guy or that guy,

305
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 4: you look and you say, well, Malik, we believe that

306
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 4: you can do something for us. But we know what

307
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 4: Dalvin Cook has been able to do in this league.

308
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,319
Speaker 4: And if Dalvin has come in in the practice squad

309
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 4: and at least impressed in any fashion, then I say, okay,

310
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 4: you go with Dalvin. If he comes into the practice squad,

311
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 4: minimum money, low risk, and he's not impressed, then in

312
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 4: that situation, you say, okay, elite, get in there and

313
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 4: let's see what happens. Not just the option is what

314
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 4: I'm asking for. So for those that are and or

315
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 4: speculating that those of us who would like to see

316
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 4: Delvin Cook in Dallas. I know, because of the headline name,

317
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 4: people say, well, why do you want him to replace TP?

318
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 4: That's not what most of us are saying.

319
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 7: Do you guys feel like it's Pollard's fault or the

320
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 7: line's fault that he hasn't had success this year?

321
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 4: I think it's been both.

322
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 6: Yes, I think it's been both, and I think at

323
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 6: different times it's been both. Because here's the thing on

324
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 6: the offensive line. I don't think it's one particular guy

325
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 6: that's a problem when it comes. I think they all

326
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 6: take their turn.

327
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 3: They the tight ends in their too right right.

328
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 6: I also think there are a number of times when

329
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 6: I've seen where it looks like Tony has opportunities and

330
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 6: just doesn't seem to get there, doesn't see the right

331
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 6: hole to get into. So I think there are times

332
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 6: when both things can be true, and if they could

333
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 6: all get on the same page, and at least when

334
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 6: when when somebody's gonna mess up, let them all mess

335
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 6: up on the one play and you just put that

336
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 6: one away and move on to the next one and

337
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 6: then get it right. I just think too often, too

338
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 6: many people are making mistakes, including the line, including the

339
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 6: tight ends and including the running back.

340
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 7: I wonder though, too, that the Cowboys did have an

341
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 7: opportunity because he did become available, and you know it

342
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 7: was named that we kind of kicked around, but they

343
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 7: didn't go that, right. I wonder if they're I wonder

344
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 7: if they're holding that thought still. And I wonder if

345
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 7: they're holding that thought thinking that, well, we know we

346
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 7: like our guys, which they always say they do. And

347
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 7: I wonder if though it's a situation where they're watching

348
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 7: him play at the Jets and say it's not worth

349
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 7: it for us right now because they're gonna have they

350
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 7: would have to. You talked about the practice squad stuff

351
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 7: and all that they're having a hard time finding roster

352
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 7: spots for guys right now. That's that's that's you know,

353
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 7: that's a big thing for them.

354
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 6: Here's the thing I would I would wonder. I think

355
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 6: this decision for the Cowboys comes down to one thing.

356
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 6: Do they think he can come in here and be

357
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:00,120
Speaker 6: a short yardage back, because that's a role that they

358
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 6: clearly have not identified an answer for.

359
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 2: Right If they don't think that's the case, I don't

360
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 2: know that.

361
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 3: I don't know that.

362
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 6: There's another role that really necessarily makes sense here, right.

363
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 7: See the thing about it is, if Hunter Lipkey doesn't fumble,

364
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 7: we're talking about Hunter Lipkey, the short yard is.

365
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 6: Absolutely but after that fumble, they're not sold right now,

366
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 6: right right, So that's my point.

367
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 2: They're still kind of searching for what's that going to be.

368
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 6: Who's gonna be our guy that we can rely on

369
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 6: in those situations? And unless Dalvin Cook can do that,

370
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 6: which it sounds like from your scouting report, yeah, you

371
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 6: don't necessarily trust he could do that any better than

372
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 6: anybody else.

373
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 3: I don't think.

374
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 7: I don't think Dalvin Cook gets much help with the Jets.

375
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 7: I just don't feel like that Dalvin Cook is Dalvin

376
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 7: Cook that you saw averaging six point two yards of

377
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 7: carry against you last year Tooeah, Yeah, you know, I

378
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 7: had a really good year that like he was a's

379
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 7: it's it's really kind of falling apart for him a

380
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 7: little bit. You know, he doesn't have the explosiveness that

381
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 7: he had at one time and stuff, and it's really

382
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 7: it's a strange.

383
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 3: And maybe say the same thing about.

384
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 6: Polar Can a running back ever get that back? Have

385
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 6: you seen running backs get that back once? They're not

386
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 6: that can they get that back. Could it be a

387
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 6: situation where because you're not playing as much, you're not as.

388
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 7: Into us like Adrian Peterson and stuff that have gone

389
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 7: to different places.

390
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he's all time special, right, But that's.

391
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 3: But yeah, but that's what I'm saying.

392
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,160
Speaker 7: If you know, you'd have to be It's it's hard

393
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 7: once that goes away and you see you can maybe

394
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 7: say that some of the things that Zeke's done in

395
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,679
Speaker 7: New England, you know, has been a positive thing that

396
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 7: you didn't see with Dallas.

397
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 8: You know, I don't think that bringing down you bring him.

398
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 8: I don't think much changes. I don't like the way

399
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 8: that the Cowboys have handled the running back position from

400
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 8: the beginning of the season. We can talk about the

401
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 8: O line having their struggles, which is true and obviously

402
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 8: it correlates. It goes hand in hand with the running

403
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:41,120
Speaker 8: back the running game. But at the same time, you

404
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 8: saw flashes from Hunter Litke at the beginning of the year,

405
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 8: we were excited about him. You saw flashes with Deuce

406
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,400
Speaker 8: and you're like, Okay, we're intrigued, we're excited. Let's see

407
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:56,159
Speaker 8: he has the quickness of speed, and then all of

408
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 8: a sudden he just disappears, right, and you don't. You

409
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 8: don't don't give them the opportunity to be out there

410
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 8: and get those reps, even though the other running backs

411
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 8: are not being fully successful, and you talk about a

412
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 8: good amount of time where you could have given them

413
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 8: just sprinkles of it. And then this last game you

414
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 8: throw Inducevoon out of nowhere. Obviously you can't expect him

415
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 8: to be successful being thrown like that back into the fire.

416
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 8: Then Hunter Lipke with that fumble, if it was really

417
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 8: a communication issue, you can't. You gotta move past that.

418
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,879
Speaker 8: And we ain't got time to be angry and medn't

419
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 8: nobody We need, we need your help, and let's let's

420
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:41,400
Speaker 8: figure this out, let's communicate, and let's get back in it. Uh,

421
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 8: Milick Davis, I think it's unfortunate that we haven't really

422
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 8: seen him because last year it was very promising everything

423
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 8: that we saw from him. Honestly, when he when the

424
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,160
Speaker 8: starters came out, you felt like you weren't missing the starters.

425
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 8: He was doing things similar to what you were getting

426
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 8: with Tony Poller orco.

427
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:07,239
Speaker 4: Everything was injured last Yeah, Yeah, that's why Malik ended

428
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 4: up getting those reps last year.

429
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 8: And when he came out, they were still being productive.

430
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 8: They were still running the ball, they were still getting

431
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 8: into the end zone. I don't know how many touchdowns

432
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 8: he ended up with, but given the small amount of

433
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 8: reps that he did get, he took advantage of all

434
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 8: of it. So it's just kind of unfortunate that you

435
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 8: never saw him again.

436
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 7: What I think is should be intriguing to everybody outside

437
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 7: is that they took they activated an edge rusher for

438
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:37,160
Speaker 7: a running back instead of replacing a running back. They're

439
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 7: out of elevations with Malik Davis. They're out, So you know,

440
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 7: if you had the opportunity to switch it back for

441
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 7: a back, there must be something going on there, because

442
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 7: I don't I don't see how Fojoko helps you right now.

443
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 3: I really don't.

444
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 2: Probably on the field.

445
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 3: I'm trying.

446
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 7: I'm trying like hell to get Fouler on the field.

447
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 7: I can't even get him on the field, you know.

448
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 7: And the one thing in this team is and I

449
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 7: don't even want to talk about health. I don't even

450
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,479
Speaker 7: want to because the minute you start talking about it,

451
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 7: it goes south on you. But that is that's the

452
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 7: intriguing thing to me, is they make a roster move

453
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 7: to get a edge on instead of getting a running

454
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 7: back who probably could be a little bit of a

455
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:20,399
Speaker 7: difference speaker. So maybe they don't really care about adding

456
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 7: another running back one way or another.

457
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:23,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, it might be going back to that. I think

458
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 6: what you were alluding a few minutes ago. Maybe they

459
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 6: really do believe that Lipkey's gonna be their short yardist

460
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:30,639
Speaker 6: guy and they're going to start working at and they

461
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:32,640
Speaker 6: gave themselves no more options, like, we don't have any

462
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:33,159
Speaker 6: other options.

463
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 2: There are no These are the three we got. That's

464
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:36,919
Speaker 2: our option getting.

465
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 3: Doubt back, you know, you get dabble back. I think

466
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 3: we all like that the way that Dawdill plays.

467
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 6: No I'm saying I'm saying this is assuming that they

468
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,400
Speaker 6: made this move because they think Dowall's going to be back.

469
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 6: Oh no, and they're believing in the fact that they're

470
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 6: going to give Lipkey another chance. He's going to be

471
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 6: incorporated into this thing, and that's going to be their

472
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 6: three backs and they're going to ride with that through

473
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 6: the playoffs because at this point Deuce cannot come back

474
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 6: before put them potentially a Super Bowl.

475
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 4: I just thought, so that's too much trauma from January

476
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 4: in Santa Clair, when I saw Tony Pollard go down,

477
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,120
Speaker 4: the offense looked completely different. Now I get it. It's

478
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 4: also different in the aspect of this is much more

479
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,159
Speaker 4: of a pass first offense, yea than it was at

480
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 4: that point, So that's also true. But yeah, I'm having

481
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 4: those flashbacks. And again, me wanting Cook on the on

482
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 4: the practice squad is simply because I want to feel

483
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,920
Speaker 4: comfortable with my insurance options. It's not because we all

484
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:23,439
Speaker 4: know I'm on the record and we're all on the

485
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,719
Speaker 4: record believing in Rico dald Or what he can do,

486
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 4: believing that Tony Pollard when he gets the right blocking

487
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 4: and his vision is on that particular day, he can

488
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 4: be Tony Pollard from twenty twenty two to twenty twenty one.

489
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 4: But in the situation, in a situation where insert like

490
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,479
Speaker 4: you know, hypothetical here, then I would like for them

491
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 4: to be able to at least look at Hunter, Malik

492
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 4: and Dalvin who's proven in the league, and say, this

493
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 4: is what we've seen from each of you thus far

494
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 4: in practice, we're gonna go with this guy or that

495
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 4: guy that guy. I don't like the fact that, like

496
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 4: what you just said, this is who they have so

497
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 4: ride with it and not when the season's on the line.

498
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 4: Give me all the options, all the options, and just

499
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 4: kind of let it sort itself out organically.

500
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 7: I think this team is only going to go as

501
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:08,120
Speaker 7: far as Dak Lamb and Parsons carries it. I agree

502
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 7: that's where they're.

503
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 3: At right now.

504
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,439
Speaker 8: I was gonna say, we're talking about injuries and what

505
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 8: happened in the past, but I'm like, okay, either way,

506
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:19,399
Speaker 8: it's not being productive on or off the field, is

507
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:20,360
Speaker 8: still not happening.

508
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 6: So there literally has not been a single game this

509
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,399
Speaker 6: year where I would say the offense that the rushing

510
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 6: offense for the Cowboys carried them to a victim. No,

511
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 6: not a single one. So I don't think it's going

512
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 6: to start now. So it is what it is. As

513
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 6: you said, Brian, like, it's about can Dak and see

514
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 6: if he get connected and do what they do.

515
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 7: I think we got a real That game against the

516
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 7: Lions was a playoff game. It was a playoff game,

517
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 7: and you saw what they did in the four minute

518
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 7: offense to try and kill that game. They threw the

519
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,479
Speaker 7: football and McCarthy went for the win for it, and

520
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 7: I you know what, now, I look at it, I

521
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 7: applaud him to do it because he can't run the football.

522
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,479
Speaker 7: He knows he can't run the football, and so you know,

523
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 7: he can run the jet sweeps and maybe get six

524
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 7: seven yards on those and maybe hit a big play.

525
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 7: But it's gonna be about your quarterback who's done a

526
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 7: great job of limiting turnovers. It's about an all pro

527
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,920
Speaker 7: wide receiver, and it's about maybe the defensive player of

528
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 7: the year. That's what this playoff front is going to

529
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 7: be about.

530
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 2: All Right, we're gonna take our first break. We'll come back.

531
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 6: We'll jump into the Washington offense and really kind of

532
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:17,880
Speaker 6: break down where they are now versus where they were

533
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 6: on Thanksgiving Day when the Cowboys matched up with them.

534
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 6: We'll be back, Dallas Cowboys dot Com Radio.

Speaker 9: Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the

536
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 9: Cheatah Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat repellent he bought

537
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 9: online was reliable. And now Todd is trying to be

538
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 9: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.

539
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 9: But the good news is Todd has at and T

540

Speaker 9: five G. It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he

541
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 9: learned the best thing to do is stop running and

542
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,679

Speaker 6: This segment is brought to you by Blockchain dot com

587
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 6: All right, let's talk about this Washington offense and Brian

588
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 6: Washington plant. Going into last week, they had planned to

589
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 6: start to Kobe Brisset at quarterback Hamsham he got an injury, yeah,

590
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:47,880
Speaker 6: and they were not able to play him.

591
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 2: Sam Howell ended up being the quarterback.

592
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 6: My question for you is which, let's start here, which

593
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,400
Speaker 6: of those two present the most challenges for an opponent,

594
00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 6: assuming that Brissett is healthy enough to possibly go this.

595
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 7: S week set is because he's not going to turn

596
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 7: the ball over. That's the That's the thing. Sam Howe

597
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,200
Speaker 7: will turn the ball over. So you want to play

598
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 7: against Sam Howe? Uh, you know, because the more you

599
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,640
Speaker 7: pressure him, the more he feels it. Then the more

600
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 7: he makes mistakes. Brissett's likely going to get rid of

601
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:19,200
Speaker 7: the football. The opportunities that he's had when you've watched him,

602
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 7: when you've watched him play, he's done a good job

603
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:26,440
Speaker 7: of moving the offense, not creating turnovers.

604
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 4: Uh.

605
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 7: But you know he's he's really good at making all

606
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,399
Speaker 7: the throws. How can make all the throws too. The

607
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 7: problem is how will throw you one or two in

608
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 7: a in a game, or he will make a He'll

609
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 7: make a critical mistake in the pocket and set.

610
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 3: The reason why they wanted to start Set.

611
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,679
Speaker 7: Is because that of that stability, they've still got outstanding

612
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:47,239
Speaker 7: skill people that you're going to have to deal with

613
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:47,919
Speaker 7: on this team.

614
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 3: So yeah, it's it's.

615
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:52,959
Speaker 7: Going to be if if he plays, uh, I expect

616
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,879
Speaker 7: the offense to be a little bit more efficient. Uh

617
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,159
Speaker 7: if if Hal has to go, if you're trying to

618
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,639
Speaker 7: keep the second overall pick, I would play. How if

619
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 7: you're trying to if you're trying to send Ron Rivera

620
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 7: out his last coaching game ever, I think he's probably

621
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 7: done after this. You know all the things he's gone

622
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 7: through in his life, and he's probably deserves to retire now.

623
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 7: But if if you want to win one for him,

624
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 7: you would start Jacobe ressetting this game.

625
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 6: Okay, I want you to take your analyst half off

626
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 6: for a second, and I want you to talk to

627
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 6: me like you are personnel guy and your experiences in

628
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 6: that realm in the situation like this, because you brought

629
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:29,440
Speaker 6: it up and it's interesting to me in a situation

630
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:32,639
Speaker 6: like's terrifying where the team, the team and their goals

631
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 6: may be very different than the coach and his goals.

632
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 2: He knows he's out. He doesn't care about next year.

633
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,120
Speaker 2: Probably that being said.

634
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 3: Can I be the owner of the Commanders and handle it?

635
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:43,199
Speaker 2: How do they handle a situation like?

636
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 3: All right?

637
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 7: If I'm the owner of the Commanders, I walk into

638
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,119
Speaker 7: Ron Rivera's office and say, we have the second overall

639
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 7: pick of the draft right now. Ron, you know the situation.

640
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 7: You've been around a long time. You know this is

641
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:55,119
Speaker 7: probably not going to work out for you. I'm going

642
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 7: to make a change at the end of the year.

643
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 7: I understand. I appreciate everything you've done, but this set

644
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,360
Speaker 7: an overall pick means a lot to me. It means

645
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 7: a lot to our organization, It means a lot to

646
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 7: our future. If Ron backs up and starts to say,

647
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 7: now I'm really going to try and go out and

648
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 7: I'd like to finish this thing out and all that,

649
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 7: I would say, Ron, you're fired. Just like that, I

650
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 7: would fire him. Yes, I would fire him, and I

651
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:17,920
Speaker 7: would name somebody interim. It doesn't have to be Eric

652
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,159
Speaker 7: b Enemy. It could be the it could be the

653
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 7: special teams coach, it could be anybody. It does that

654
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 7: point you just want to I'll coach, I'll coach the team.

655
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 7: It doesn't matter at that point in time. So if

656
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 7: the second overall pick to you is that important, we

657
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:33,879
Speaker 7: saw it last year at Houston. Houston had the first

658
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 7: overall pick in the draft. That going the last game

659
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 7: and Levy Smith decides to give the double birds to

660
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 7: the front office and say, I'm leaving on my own

661
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 7: terms here. If you're gonna get rid of me, I'm

662
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 7: gonna go win this football game.

663
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 3: He did.

664
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 7: He made some decisions that won them the game, and

665
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 7: you're probably wondering, why the hell you didn't do that earlier.

666
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 8: What do you tell the players in the Hey, guys,

667
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 8: take it easy. We're not really trying to just.

668
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 3: Tell the head coach. Tell the head coach.

669
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 4: With the player is going to do what they wanted,

670
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 4: what they need to do because they get paid to

671
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 4: play and put them in the right position to win.

672
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,719
Speaker 4: Because from a players standpoint, if you're a player, what

673
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 4: you put on film is on film, and you're trying

674
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 4: to get a job next year, if you know, whatever

675
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 4: the case may be. So that's why Brian said, you're

676
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 4: talking to the head coach because you can't rightfully welcome

677
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 4: to a player and say laid down, because they're not

678
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 4: going to lay down.

679
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:19,959
Speaker 2: And by the way, that's when you get hurt when

680
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 2: you're not playing.

681
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 7: They're they're going to want to go out. You know,

682
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 7: you have an opportunity to the players.

683
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 8: You can get the sense of it too.

684
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 7: Oh no, they know the situation. They know Ron Rivera

685
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 7: is about to get fired. But they could also have

686
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 7: the utmost respect for Ron Rivera as players and say,

687
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 7: you know what, it's our fault that he's getting fired.

688
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 7: We owe it to him to play hard this last game.

689
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 7: And there's so much on the line for There's so

690
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 7: much on the line for them. I mean, the second

691
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 7: overall pick is huge.

692
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 2: That could change their fate, the second and fourth yeah.

693
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, second or seventh, or the way they fall down

694
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 7: the list even first. I mean, you know, you never know,

695
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 7: So to me, I have that discussion with him if

696
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 7: it's that important ownership. Now, ownership might step back and say, Ron,

697
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 7: if you want to win this game, go win this game.

698
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 3: That's the fear I have playing this team.

699
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 4: Now.

700
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 7: They've got they've got a lot of talent, they've got

701
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 7: a coach that they'll that they'll they really like, and

702
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 7: they'll they'll try and play hard for But he has

703
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 7: nothing to lose. He could go for every fourth down,

704
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 7: he could go for every two point conversion.

705
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 4: You know he can.

706
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 7: As a defensive coordinator, he can blitz Dat Prescott every

707
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 7: single snap if he wants what happens. Okay, Okay, that's fine, Ye, Dallas.

708
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 7: The most pressure in this game is on Dallas. Indeed,

709
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 7: that's that's the problem you run into. And I guarantee

710
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 7: you people listening to me right now, they're going to

711
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 7: Cowboy fans are seeing the thirteen and a half point

712
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,480
Speaker 7: spread and they're going, ah, broadest, it's the Commanders.

713
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 3: It's not.

714
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 4: No.

715
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 3: These are the types of games you worry.

716
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 7: About because the team you're playing has absolutely nothing to lose.

717
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 7: The Arizona Cardinals, Yeah, the Arizona Cardinals last week, go

718
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 7: to Philadelphi.

719
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 3: You know why they played hard. They played hard for

720
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 3: their coach.

721
00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 7: Their coach made it important like that was in a

722
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 7: game like Mike McCarthy, that Green Bay game that was

723
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 7: important to him and six seven other dudes that were

724
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 7: on that coaching staff. You know that might that might

725
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 7: be the game that Mike McCarthy had enough of. Kellen Moore,

726
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,959
Speaker 7: you know it just said, you know what I'm gonna

727
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 7: I'm gonna start calling the plays.

728
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 3: Next year, I'm going to call him, you're gone. You

729
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 3: know that these.

730
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 7: Games, they these types of games bother me a lot

731
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 7: because the pressures on you to go out there. And

732
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 7: Dallas hadn't exactly played great on the road. You know,

733
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 7: tell me the last time he got a road in Carolina? Right,

734
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 7: that's it.

735
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 3: Last couple of weeks time's been out hadn't been so good.

736
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 7: So I like, I say, Commanders have got to get

737
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 7: to If as the owner, I would tell Ron Rivera

738
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 7: we're going to lose this game, and if he doesn't

739
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 7: want to lose this game, then I would fire him.

740
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 4: So often the phrase trap game is thrown around, and

741
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 4: I just kind of batted away because I'm like, no,

742
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 4: you know, these guys know what's what's up up for stakes,

743
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 4: and not that they don't this week, but when you

744
00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 4: talk about this particular opponent, everything Brian said is what's

745
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 4: terrifying about it because you don't know which Commanders team

746
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 4: you're going to get, No question you could have. You

747
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 4: know that the ownership went to Vera and he conceded, hequiesked,

748
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 4: and he said, okay, well that's fine, we'll start sam

749
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 4: Our coach down, But then you don't know what you're

750
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 4: going to get from the players. Maybe the player said,

751
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 4: as we want to go out on a high note

752
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 4: for Ron Rivera, and or we do not want the

753
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 4: Cowboys to get what the Cowboys want to get on

754
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 4: our field. Or you could have it where the players

755
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 4: have already started to check out and they're going to

756
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 4: make business decisions on the field because they don't want

757
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 4: to risk themselves to injury or things like that and

758
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 4: not be able to play next year when the new

759
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 4: regime comes in, maybe for a new team, whatever the

760
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 4: case may be. You quite literally have no clue what

761
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:50,480
Speaker 4: you're walking into. And that's what's terrifying, because one Brian said,

762
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 4: most of the one hundred percent of the pressure is

763
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 4: on the Cowboys for all the reasons that we're talking about.

764
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 4: NFC East title is on the line. Number two seed

765
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 4: in the NFC, which goes with at least one home game.

766
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 4: You win that game, you get another home game that's

767
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 4: on the line. We've seen how poorly you've played on

768
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 4: the road, and then on top of that, you don't

769
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 4: want a three and six road record going into the playoffs.

770
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 4: You need this win on every imaginable level and you

771
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 4: don't know what you're walking into.

772
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, the part that worries me the most about this game.

773
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 6: In addition, what you guys are saying is typically this

774
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 6: is the time of the year, and Nick always says this,

775
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 6: and I think it's so true. Is bad teams lose

776
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 6: these games sometimes because of what they're doing on Wednesday

777
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 6: and Thursday. It's not that they don't give effort on Sunday,

778
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 6: it's that they don't see any future in what's happening,

779
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 6: So they may not be studying as hard, preparing as

780
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 6: hard on Wednesday and Thursday. That's when they lose them.

781
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 6: Here's where the flip side of that comes. You're playing

782
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,960
Speaker 6: an opponent that knows you and knows you extremely well.

783
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 6: When you're playing a common opponent division team, then that

784
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 6: kind of goes a little bit out of the window

785
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 6: because on Wednesday and Thursday, a lot of that preparation

786
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 6: you might have to do for an uncommon opponent you

787
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:54,960
Speaker 6: don't have to do for an opponent you play twice

788
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 6: every year, Right, And so that's where I'm a little

789
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 6: bit more concerned in this one that they have every

790
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:03,719
Speaker 6: incentive I think as players for the Commanders just to

791
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 6: not let Cowboys do what they want to do in

792
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 6: a game like that where what it means it could

793
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:10,800
Speaker 6: mean the difference in how far the Cowboys going to the playoffs,

794
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:12,759
Speaker 6: because we all know road versus home is a thing

795
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:14,919
Speaker 6: for them right now for whatever reason, as they've said,

796
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:16,880
Speaker 6: for whatever reason, can't put our fingers on it, but

797
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 6: for some reason, it is a thing you're and that's

798
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 6: the part I think that gives.

799
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 2: The Commanders a little bit more impetus.

800
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:26,280
Speaker 3: They like or the cow probably neither.

801
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 6: Will not be in their stadium on Sunday, so they're

802
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 6: gonna be like, we can handle what we can handle,

803
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:35,319
Speaker 6: and I think that's gonna make it a tough game

804
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 6: for the count.

805
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:39,240
Speaker 7: Dallas's existence to to get to the super Bowl depends

806
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 7: on this game. This game is this game. If you

807
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 7: do not if you do not win this game, you're

808
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 7: likely not going to the super Bowl.

809
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:48,439
Speaker 3: That's just that's that's I'm just going.

810
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:50,799
Speaker 6: To Basically, you're gonna say you're gonna do in three games,

811
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,280
Speaker 6: you're going to do back to back to back wins

812
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:53,759
Speaker 6: on the road.

813
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 2: You haven't done that yet. You haven't done that, So

814
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 2: it's just you don't have anything to really put.

815
00:34:57,560 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 7: I think nineteen seventy eight was the last time they

816
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 7: did that. That's how long ago this has been. I mean,

817
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:04,239
Speaker 7: I know it's history and all that stuff like that,

818
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 7: but you know it's the Giants. Sure, but this team

819
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:10,719
Speaker 7: has shown you so far that going on the road

820
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 7: for three straight games would be very difficult for them

821
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 7: to win. But give them two home games. There's a

822
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 7: good shot they're going to get to the NFC Championship game.

823
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 4: Ye good shot. And by the way, the weather may

824
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 4: not play nice, so.

825
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 2: You well that has it has flipped, I've seen it.

826
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 4: But the temperature is still the temperature, so it'll be

827
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 4: upper thirties at kicking.

828
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:31,400
Speaker 6: But I talked about I don't worry so much about

829
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:34,319
Speaker 6: temperature unless you're talking like Chicago temperature. Right, I'm not

830
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 6: worried so much about temperature. What I'm more concerned about

831
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 6: is what's the wind and is the precipitation. Well, it

832
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 6: doesn't like either one of those factors will be in it.

833
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 6: So you give me an up a thirties day for

834
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 6: grown men running around.

835
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:47,760
Speaker 2: That's going to feel really good, like a breeze.

836
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 3: The game's gonna be a darkness at the end, and yeah,

837
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 3: it definitely.

838
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 2: Will, maybe even by the beginning, like it gets dark

839
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:54,399
Speaker 2: so quick quick during this time of the year.

840
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:57,279
Speaker 6: But again I just think for me, I was worried

841
00:35:57,320 --> 00:35:59,319
Speaker 6: more about the precipitation, and earlier it was shown that

842
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:01,840
Speaker 6: was actually going to be snow that day in Washington,

843
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 6: that worried me a lot. But without the precipitation, without

844
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 6: the wind, I think Dallas should be.

845
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 4: My only concern when it comes to temperature is just

846
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 4: the receiving game, and not necessarily for guys like Jake

847
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:14,359
Speaker 4: Ferguson who played at Wisconsin and you know those kinds

848
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 4: of guys who know how you know, big tim they

849
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 4: know how to catch in those temperatures. But for the

850
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:21,399
Speaker 4: guys who you know, the southern bred guys, your Texas boys,

851
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 4: you're Georgia boys, you're etcetera, etcetera, even without the precipitation,

852
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 4: catching that ball and you know, thirty six degrees on, yeah,

853
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 4: once the sun goes down, that hurts, and now you

854
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 4: might be in a situation where it guess what you

855
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 4: might need to lean on a little bit more running

856
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 4: game exactly. So that's why I look at the temperature

857
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 4: as much as I would look at the precipitation as well.

858
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,880
Speaker 4: All of that matters, but most certainly, if you're a

859
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 4: Southern boy and this is where you grew up playing football,

860
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 4: you're maybe not Jake Ferguson, who's out there practice dipping

861
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 4: his hands in ice water because it's it's normal for him.

862
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 4: So that that's my only concern. And I say all

863
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 4: of that to say I would love for the running

864
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 4: game to get going against Washington and find some momentum

865
00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:58,360
Speaker 4: to take into the playoffs. I will love it. I

866
00:36:58,400 --> 00:36:59,400
Speaker 4: need it. I need to see it.

867
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:04,439
Speaker 6: My hope is at this point, living in Dallas, they've

868
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 6: got used to that temperature because that's not an uncommon temperature.

869
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 3: Michael practice outside too.

870
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, my hope is that they're comfortable in a upper thirties,

871
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 6: you know, temperature type game. They should feel, I should

872
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 6: think at this point, living in Dallas, you feel their

873
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:20,320
Speaker 6: own benches.

874
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:23,920
Speaker 2: That's the question, Like that is the question. All Right,

875
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:24,919
Speaker 2: we're gonna take our final break.

876
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:25,319
Speaker 4: We'll come back.

877
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:26,320
Speaker 2: We got more to talk about.

878
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:28,239
Speaker 6: I want to talk about Curtis Samuel because he was

879
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 6: the Washington Commander's player that probably had the best day

880
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 6: against Dallas last year. Talk about how the Cowboys control him.

881
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 6: We'll do that when we come Backdallas Cowboys dot com Radio.

882
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:39,360
Speaker 9: Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the

883
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:42,319
Speaker 9: cheatah Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat repellent he bought

884
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:45,279
Speaker 9: online was reliable. And now Todd is trying to be

885
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 9: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.

886
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:50,319
Speaker 9: But the good news is Todd has AT and T

887
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 9: five G. It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he

888
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:55,399
Speaker 9: learned the best thing to do is stop running and

889
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 9: toss her the backpack with the beef stew At and

890
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:01,719
Speaker 9: T five G. Fast, reliable, secure, It's not complicated.

00:39:58,600 --> 00:39:58,799
Speaker 3: Yes?

933
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 2: Is he how many play?

934
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 4: How many receivers have.

935
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:02,759
Speaker 2: Gone over hundred yard against Cowboys this year?

936
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:03,799
Speaker 3: He was the first.

937
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:05,799
Speaker 6: I know he was the first, But have they had

938
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:07,920
Speaker 6: have they had one sense that? Because I know Tyreek

939
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:11,439
Speaker 6: did not? Uh, Saint Brown did not. I don't think

940
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 6: he didn't go over a hundred?

941
00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:16,759
Speaker 4: No, no, he didn't. Ninety Yeah. I want to see

942
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 4: no one.

943
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 2: Is he the only hundred yard receiver and he only

944
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 2: had one hundreds?

945
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 3: But double no?

946
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 6: No, you're right, yeah, okay, So tell me how do

947
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 6: they how did they put put the clamps on Curtis Samuelis.

948
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:29,080
Speaker 7: You really don't because he's kind of like ceedee lamb

949
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:30,759
Speaker 7: and they're now moving him around all over the place.

950
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:33,759
Speaker 7: They've kind of figured these things out, and so what

951
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 7: happens is when you try and double him, they put

952
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:38,359
Speaker 7: him in the slot, they'll move him, they put him wide,

953
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:41,040
Speaker 7: they move him. He's the one guy that moves the

954
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:44,799
Speaker 7: most of all the Commander receivers, and so having to

955
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 7: double him, I think it's going to be more more

956
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 7: about trying to be able to play him once he's

957
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 7: on the move, if he shifts from one side to

958
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:53,720
Speaker 7: the other, maybe you could bracket him a little better,

959
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:56,760
Speaker 7: you know, in and out the Cowboys play somewhat single

960
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 7: high safety, though it's hard to you know, bracket guy

961
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:02,399
Speaker 7: like that, but you can maybe cheat, you know, cheat

962
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:06,279
Speaker 7: hooker to that side and and help him. But I

963
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:08,439
Speaker 7: kind of feel like, though, man, they've done a great

964
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:11,720
Speaker 7: job in the history of Terry McLaren of covering him,

965
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:16,239
Speaker 7: and every time you're like, mcclarten, yeah, it's but yeah,

966
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:19,920
Speaker 7: he's so underrated as a player. Terry McLaren is, and

967
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 7: so I always worry about him. But you know, you're

968
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:27,879
Speaker 7: absolutely right about Samuel. I mean, he's he's like he's

969
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:31,439
Speaker 7: second on the squad. Now in targets receptions, I mean

970
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 7: he's only.

971
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:32,800
Speaker 3: Had one drop.

972
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:35,840
Speaker 7: I mean he's he's done a really nice job, super

973
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:38,840
Speaker 7: reliable player. But they're going to move him around a bunch,

974
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:42,200
Speaker 7: and so how you take care of him likely will

975
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:44,080
Speaker 7: be just some of the one on one coverages you'll

976
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:44,719
Speaker 7: have in that game.

977
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:46,760
Speaker 2: When you look I'm.

978
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 7: Talking about I'm talking about Samuel now, not the mccla,

979
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:50,359
Speaker 7: but McLaren's good too.

980
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:52,480
Speaker 6: When you look at what the Cowboys have done the

981
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 6: last couple of weeks. Last week against David Montgomery, they

982
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 6: allowed fourteen catches for sixty five yards of four point

983
00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:00,160
Speaker 6: six average. Jamir Gibbs, who I thought was gonna to

984
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 6: be the guy that was going to give them so

985
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:03,920
Speaker 6: many trouble, so much trouble, I had fifteen carres for

986
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:06,239
Speaker 6: forty three yards only a two point nine average. You

987
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:08,759
Speaker 6: look at that and then also add in what they

988
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:11,759
Speaker 6: did against Miami running backs. What is the conclusion and

989
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:13,760
Speaker 6: left with about this Dallas rush defense.

990
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:17,239
Speaker 7: Well, the good plan here, we'll see, We'll see if

991
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:21,719
Speaker 7: our guy Eric Bienemy stays true to form. He hates

992
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:25,239
Speaker 7: running the football, you know, he really does. And the

993
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:28,120
Speaker 7: commanders I always ask myself when I watch the Commanders,

994
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:29,839
Speaker 7: I go, why don't they run the ball more?

995
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 2: Actually thirty second in the league in attempts in rushing attempts.

996
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:33,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I said it in week eleven.

997
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:36,480
Speaker 7: I really do like this group, and they just don't

998
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:39,040
Speaker 7: get the opportunity like others do. And the unit, like

999
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:41,239
Speaker 7: you just said, Derek, is last in the league in attempts,

1000
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:44,719
Speaker 7: but they're first in the league. A number of pressures

1001
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:47,200
Speaker 7: they give up. So why are you not running the ball?

1002
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:49,399
Speaker 7: Why are you not trying to help your quarterback more?

1003
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:54,239
Speaker 7: If this turns into a foul weather game, maybe you'll

1004
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:55,880
Speaker 7: see them try and run the ball a little bit more.

1005
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:57,880
Speaker 7: When Dallas played in the first time around, their averaging

1006
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:00,959
Speaker 7: right around four point seven of carry at four point five,

1007
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:03,560
Speaker 7: but they don't run the ball. I think you have

1008
00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:06,319
Speaker 7: to be ready with this group. They're really a talented group.

1009
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:10,480
Speaker 7: Gibson Robinson. They're really a talented group. It's a shame

1010
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:12,960
Speaker 7: that they just don't use them more. The thing that

1011
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:14,440
Speaker 7: you have to worry about them if they're going to

1012
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:16,640
Speaker 7: throw the ball. These guys are really good with the

1013
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:19,080
Speaker 7: screen pass stuff, you know, And that's one of the

1014
00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:22,839
Speaker 7: things Dallas rushing Dallas pressure screen. You know, now it's

1015
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 7: out the gate and all that. So I think that's

1016
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:26,840
Speaker 7: what you have to be worried about the most. But

1017
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:29,400
Speaker 7: if the weather turns a little foul, a little nasty,

1018
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:34,120
Speaker 7: stays cold, whatever, I wouldn't be surprised that they try

1019
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 7: to run. But right now, this is not in this

1020
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 7: coach's DNA to do that. And I think that plays

1021
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 7: right into the Cowboys hands that they don't try and

1022
00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:41,560
Speaker 7: run the ball.

1023
00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:44,320
Speaker 4: It's a great matchup for the Cowboys in that capacity

1024
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:46,960
Speaker 4: because you have the run defense trending in the right direction,

1025
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 4: yeap versus an offense that hates running the ball. So

1026
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:54,120
Speaker 4: you know, to answer your question, I think the Cowboys

1027
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:55,960
Speaker 4: run defense. I don't know that I've used the word

1028
00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 4: fixed just yet, but it's definitely repaired over what it

1029
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:02,399
Speaker 4: was against Buffalo. And I mean also when you look

1030
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:06,200
Speaker 4: at the macro, more often than not, they've they've performed

1031
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:08,799
Speaker 4: well against the run. It's just when they don't, it's

1032
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 4: it's a really bad day.

1033
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:14,320
Speaker 8: Well it's when they don't don't. Plus the offense.

1034
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:15,440
Speaker 3: It's not scoring points for you.

1035
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:18,439
Speaker 8: So it's that combination of both. Absolutely, they've been able

1036
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:22,760
Speaker 8: to do enough just enough when the offense is still

1037
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 8: getting into the end zone. But the combination of two

1038
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:26,080
Speaker 8: is to.

1039
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:28,080
Speaker 4: Brian's point about the screen, I keep an eye on

1040
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:30,960
Speaker 4: that when it comes to the Washington Commanders. But then

1041
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:34,440
Speaker 4: I turned my direction and attention to guys like Donovan Wilson.

1042
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 4: You saw he was able to do the screen game.

1043
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:37,640
Speaker 4: You saw Joey Lewis was able to do in the

1044
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:39,719
Speaker 4: screen game. And then of course Marquis Bell, who's shown

1045
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:42,400
Speaker 4: that he can knife through those will be blockers and

1046
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:45,600
Speaker 4: get to the ball, to the receiver and bring down

1047
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:45,879
Speaker 4: the play.

1048
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:48,960
Speaker 7: So yeah, what's which changed is their offensive line. Charles

1049
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 7: Leno and Chris Paul were the starters the last time

1050
00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:52,439
Speaker 7: these two play, and they're no longer.

1051
00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:54,200
Speaker 3: Those were guys you wanted to do kind of attack.

1052
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:58,800
Speaker 7: Cornelius Lucas and Shadik Charles have kind of taken their place,

1053
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:01,600
Speaker 7: and there they've done a really a better job. When

1054
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:03,799
Speaker 7: you watch in the San Francisco game and all that.

1055
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:07,560
Speaker 7: Trent Scott is the starter at right tackle, and they've

1056
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:11,360
Speaker 7: had to do that because Andrew Wiley, their normal tackle,

1057
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:14,400
Speaker 7: had an elbow injury in Week sixteen against the Jets,

1058
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:16,720
Speaker 7: and so he hasn't played. We'll see if he plays

1059
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:20,520
Speaker 7: this week. But Scott would be the guy. Trent Scott,

1060
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:22,879
Speaker 7: the right tackle would be the one that I would

1061
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 7: try and go after. And I think Nick Gates the

1062
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:29,239
Speaker 7: center has some issues as well, So your center and

1063
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:32,120
Speaker 7: your right tackle would be the two pressure point areas

1064
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:34,680
Speaker 7: I would focus on if I was the Cowboys front seven.

1065
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:37,239
Speaker 6: And based on all that you guys just said, that

1066
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:40,080
Speaker 6: makes me even more concerned that Washington's gonna come into

1067
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:43,800
Speaker 6: this game and say, we've got really good running backs. Yeah,

1068
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:46,240
Speaker 6: we've got a team that we're playing that we're afraid

1069
00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:48,040
Speaker 6: to debt. They're gonna go get our quarterback. They did

1070
00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:50,839
Speaker 6: sack them four times in that previous matchup, and they

1071
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 6: go into this game saying we're gonna load up and

1072
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:55,560
Speaker 6: we're gonna run the ball, and then we're gonna see

1073
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:58,840
Speaker 6: if the Cowboys really have fixed this run defense, because

1074
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:02,520
Speaker 6: I do believe that that's the smarter play for watching.

1075
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 6: I know they haven't done it all season, but as

1076
00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:05,360
Speaker 6: you said, they got nothing to lose.

1077
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:05,719
Speaker 3: At this point.

1078
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:08,000
Speaker 6: They may say, Hey, we're looking at what that what

1079
00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:10,600
Speaker 6: Buffalo did to them on the road. We think we

1080
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:12,520
Speaker 6: can line up and do something similar. We got a

1081
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:14,279
Speaker 6: better chance of doing that than trying to throw the

1082
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:16,000
Speaker 6: ball around the yard against this pass rush.

1083
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:18,000
Speaker 4: Which which goes to my point that I met yesterday

1084
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:20,840
Speaker 4: and Amburst point as well. This is why when it

1085
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:23,360
