We're alive from the s WBC Mortgage 0:00:49.360 --> 0:00:52.680 studios at the Star, David Amber at their homes, and 0:00:52.800 --> 0:00:54.960 I've got forty five minutes to get you guys ready 0:00:54.960 --> 0:00:58.160 for Cowboys versus Seahawks. We're gonna do a game preview 0:00:58.200 --> 0:01:00.360 for you guys here. A little later in the show, 0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:03.680 we'll have our normal I know, I think I have 0:01:03.720 --> 0:01:06.720 no idea. Later in the show as well, and at 0:01:06.720 --> 0:01:08.839 some point in this show, Nick's gonna tell us who's 0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:11.399 gonna win. Amber's gonna tell us a score, and Dave 0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:13.200 will give us some kind of great insight as to 0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:17.240 what's going to happen on Sunday. How's everybody doing today? Great, okay, great, 0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:21.959 lovely awesome. All right, let's jump right in. We gotta 0:01:21.959 --> 0:01:24.920 start with injuries. There are three guys in particular we 0:01:24.959 --> 0:01:29.479 need to talk about, Trayvon Diggs, Tyrn Smith, and Marcus 0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:31.160 Larnce Nick. Why don't you start us off? What are 0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:34.760 we hearing at this point about Treyvon Diggs. Well, he 0:01:34.880 --> 0:01:37.399 practiced yesterday, so that's a good thing. And I think 0:01:37.480 --> 0:01:41.440 Dave said it best. He has to play, So he's 0:01:41.480 --> 0:01:43.760 gonna play no matter what. I don't know if he 0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:46.080 can lift his arm over over his head, but he's 0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:48.800 gonna have to play now. I just again, I think 0:01:48.800 --> 0:01:52.600 it was kind of more of a precautionary thing. That's 0:01:52.680 --> 0:01:55.640 my guess. You know, when you don't practice on Wednesday, 0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:57.440 but you come back Thursday, you just need a little 0:01:57.480 --> 0:02:00.480 bit of rest. You know, these guys are are not 0:02:00.560 --> 0:02:02.160 used to it. You can play at Alabama all you 0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:04.480 want to. That's one of the you know, the premier 0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:07.880 you know programs in the country. But it's still it's 0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:09.960 a big jump to go to the NFL. And I 0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:11.959 think that these rookies still have to learn how to 0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:14.560 kind of get their bodies ready for each game. And 0:02:14.680 --> 0:02:16.400 and maybe that that's all it is. But I think 0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:18.120 he's gonna play in this game. What are we hearing 0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:24.280 about de Marcus Lawrence, let Dave Takedown. He's progressing nicely. Um, 0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:28.400 which it's a weird still still adjusting to this new 0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:31.880 schedule because like for years, we say if he's practicing Friday, 0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:34.720 he's probably gonna play. Well, Friday is not a practice 0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:42.080 day anymore, so Amber typing something over there, jeez, hate, 0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:51.560 I know it's the worst. Absolutely, Um, So Saturday is 0:02:51.560 --> 0:02:54.320 the practice day, so we'll see what happens. But I 0:02:54.440 --> 0:02:56.200 lean toward thinking to Marcus Lawrence is going to be 0:02:56.240 --> 0:02:59.480 available all right. And uh and I obviously Tyron Smith 0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:02.320 to me is the biggest one at this point that 0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:04.840 you're trying to keep an eye on. Uh, what are 0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:07.919 we hearing about about Tying? I'm trying to read through 0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:12.280 Jerry's answers here of what he said on the radio 0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:15.840 this morning. Um, it sounds like you said nothing like 0:03:15.919 --> 0:03:18.440 at all, like just a bunch of stuff that you know, 0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:21.360 we'll see how things go. But uh, I don't, I 0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:23.720 don't know. I just don't get the feeling he's gonna 0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:26.200 play this week. I could be wrong on that, but 0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:28.880 neither do. I just know I don't think he's playing. 0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:32.600 And if you if you don't come back and beat 0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:35.760 the Falcons, I mean, I just think I'm not saying 0:03:35.800 --> 0:03:39.160 he's plays because he's still the injuries the most important 0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:41.400 thing and getting the body, you know, getting the player 0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:43.760 ready to go. But I just feel like there's a 0:03:44.120 --> 0:03:47.680 there's a less sense of urgency to rush these guys 0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:50.600 back because the tackles did a decent job and they 0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:53.280 got over five hundred yards and so you know, they 0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:55.680 could probably you know, do it again if they needed to. 0:03:55.840 --> 0:03:58.480 I just don't think there's they're gonna rush him back. Amber. 0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:04.520 How are you feeling about Tying potentially not playing? Well? 0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:06.960 This is this was gonna be part of my I 0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:09.920 know I was gonna say. I know that the Cowboys 0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:14.520 are able to win games without their starting two tackles, 0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:17.560 so we saw it last week. At least, I feel 0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:21.520 obviously you're never gonna feel great without having tiring or 0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:24.320 lyell Callings out there playing with you. But at the 0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:27.000 same time, like we spoke earlier this week, I do 0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:29.960 feel a lot better about the tackles that we currently 0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:34.080 have and hope that obviously their game is not gonna 0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:37.040 be perfect. They're gonna make mistakes, but at least they 0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:40.000 can do enough to help you still get a win. 0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:43.000 You know, I think I'm more concerned about this than 0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:45.719 you guys seem to be. And I know the tackles 0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:48.560 did okay last week. I still point back to early 0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:51.479 in the game when Dion Jones was blitzing and they 0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:54.720 just weren't picking things up. And you talk about a 0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:58.920 team that can't get pressure in Seattle unless they blitzed 0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:02.560 their monster Jamal Adams, and by the way, they like 0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:05.680 to do it. And so I look at that and 0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:08.760 I'm like, if he's moving all over this defensive front 0:05:09.279 --> 0:05:12.080 and the Cowboys are having to adjust on the fly 0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:15.760 to who's blocking home, that just has a lot of 0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:19.040 bad things written all over for me. And I think 0:05:19.080 --> 0:05:21.080 that's the one thing that if you're looking at the 0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:24.160 matchup Cowboys offense from seat versus Seattle defense, that's the 0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:27.200 one area where I think they really could make a difference. 0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:29.240 Like I don't think they're gonna get a normal pass 0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:31.520 rush off their their front four. I don't think their 0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:34.760 secondary can hold up against these three wide receivers at 0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:37.760 Cowboys half. I do think that they can equalize that 0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:40.680 some using Jamal Adams to blitz, and if you don't 0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:42.720 have the experience, I think that can be a problem. 0:05:42.760 --> 0:05:47.960 What do you guys think about that analysis? Go ahead? 0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:51.359 Was it so Dave? Was it Bucky that? Was it 0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:54.040 Bucky that said good quarterbacks back the defense to blitz? 0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:56.920 Or was it Nick? That was Nick? I mean I 0:05:57.000 --> 0:06:01.680 said that because Yeah, Parcels would always parcel Yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:04.600 Well I agree with Bill Parcels. He's a Hall of Famer, 0:06:04.800 --> 0:06:09.040 So um yeah, bring your bring your best dB, Like, 0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:11.360 get your best dB out of the second one. I'll 0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:14.120 take that all day. And I look at Jamal Adams. 0:06:14.520 --> 0:06:18.080 If Jamal Adams has two sacks, that's fine, Like da 0:06:18.240 --> 0:06:20.560 Will Dack will get his and like, I mean, yeah, 0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:24.880 it is problematic, but it ain't like that on its 0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:27.359 own is not enough to swing this in my opinion, Like, 0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:29.760 if that's the only thing the Seahawks defense has going 0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:32.040 for him, I'll take that all day. Man. I wish 0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:34.080 this guy was on the Cowboys team, you know, like 0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:36.080 when there was some talk about it, that would have 0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:38.919 been awesome. Uh, there's no doubt about it. And I 0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:41.240 know Dave, he's an LSU guy. And he's from here 0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:45.080 in Dallas area. But I'm not buying the whole I 0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:48.479 got people in Dallas that tell me that that that 0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:50.800 I'm not good and all that. If you need all 0:06:50.839 --> 0:06:54.400 that stuff for he said, extra motivation, how about the 0:06:54.440 --> 0:06:58.520 fact that you get sixteen of these games and you're 0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:01.840 making millions of dollars and they gave three first round 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:04.560 picks or for whatever for you, Like that should be 0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:06.839 good enough. Don't try to make up some crap that 0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:11.160 somebody here said that you were not good of who. Yeah, 0:07:11.200 --> 0:07:13.680 that was interesting to me because that the quote I 0:07:13.760 --> 0:07:16.360 heard was specific to him not being good in coverage, 0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:19.000 and quite frankly, I don't think that's Dallas people saying 0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:21.320 I think that's people around the country saying that. I 0:07:21.360 --> 0:07:23.560 think there are a lot of people who analyze football 0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:26.040 that say, if you want to have a knock on 0:07:26.120 --> 0:07:28.440 Jamal Adams, it is a fact that he's not a 0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:31.480 great cover guy. But let's also be very clear, in 0:07:31.560 --> 0:07:34.160 my personal opinion, he is one of He's a top 0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:37.360 five defensive player in the NFL because of the difference 0:07:37.360 --> 0:07:39.240 that he makes. And that's the part, like that's far, 0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:41.040 that's enough, Like you don't have to be a great 0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:42.520 cover guy. If you can do that, if you can 0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:44.760 make plays like a Troy Polamalu where you're just all 0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:47.360 over the place and offenses have a hard time accounting 0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:49.720 for you, that's more than enough. So I don't think 0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:51.840 anybody is saying this guy can't play football, and this 0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:54.120 guy's not a great football player. I think if I 0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:56.160 think a lot of people are saying, if there's one 0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:58.200 thing you're gonna ding him for, it would be his 0:07:58.240 --> 0:08:01.560 ability to cover. Yeah, all right, let's go ahead and 0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:04.520 move on. Let's get into some of our game preview here. 0:08:05.200 --> 0:08:07.000 I have a set of questions here that I'm going 0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:08.640 to throw out to you guys, and we'll go around 0:08:08.880 --> 0:08:11.920 and you guys can each answer them. The first question is, 0:08:12.400 --> 0:08:15.440 if Dallas does one thing better in week three than 0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:18.040 it did in week two, what would have the biggest 0:08:18.080 --> 0:08:21.360 impact and how likely is that to happen. Let's start 0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:28.080 first with you Amber lay up. If Dallas does one 0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:31.280 thing better in week three then week two, I would 0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:35.640 say just defense. I'm hoping that the defense is able 0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:38.679 to put a little bit of their own game in 0:08:38.720 --> 0:08:42.120 there and be able to help Dallas offense, because this 0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:44.120 is gonna be a really tough match. It's gonna be 0:08:44.200 --> 0:08:48.200 really hard to keep up with Russell Wilson. So I'm 0:08:48.280 --> 0:08:52.880 hoping that Dallas is able to play defense better this week, 0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:56.880 and hoping that whatever deal is going on between the 0:08:56.960 --> 0:09:00.320 players and the coaching as far as simplify in the 0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:03.079 defense or some of the plays or things like that, 0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:06.160 hopefully they're they're able to figure it out this week 0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:12.440 and maybe cater better to the abilities of their defense players. 0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:15.240 So I would say that I'm going to push you 0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:17.240 a little bit there, and I want you to narrow 0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:19.040 that down a little bit for me. What part of 0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:21.960 the defense particularly do you think has to have a 0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:28.960 better week. I mean the pass rush. It's and it's 0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:31.480 hard to say that because you talk about Russell Wilson 0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:33.600 and you know he can get rid of the ball 0:09:33.720 --> 0:09:37.400 really really fast. But you need to absolutely get help 0:09:37.520 --> 0:09:40.240 from the pass rush because we keep talking about the 0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:44.240 secondary and all the issues that they've continuously been having there. 0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:48.480 Now with the losses that they had at corner, even 0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:51.040 though Trevn dis looks like he's going to be able 0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:54.160 to play, you still need to be able to get 0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:57.000 help from from the pass rush and just create a 0:09:57.000 --> 0:10:00.480 little bit of pressure, just a little bit, even make 0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:03.160 him throw the pass away or something, just a tiny 0:10:03.200 --> 0:10:06.600 little bit to throw Russell Wilson off his game. I 0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:09.640 think it's gonna help them a lot, but it's gonna 0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:12.680 be hard. But the defense just week four, they need 0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:16.040 to wait. What week are we on? Three? Three? Three? 0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:20.360 Week three? Weak? Three? Thing? Yeah? Okay, week three they 0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:23.240 need to step it up. They played two games and 0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:25.320 they need to step it up in this game. I 0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:29.280 think that would have been already the amount of time 0:10:29.320 --> 0:10:32.240 they would have played in a preseason game. So let's 0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:34.520 say they got their preseason games out of the way, 0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:36.640 this is the week where they need to step it 0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:38.559 up now. On a scale of one to five, with 0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:41.559 five being most likely and one being least likely, how 0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:45.200 likely are or how likely is it that we see 0:10:45.200 --> 0:10:48.040 this pass rush be better significantly better than it was 0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:55.640 in week two? Ask him? How likely are you asking me? Okay? Um? 0:10:58.440 --> 0:11:01.920 I just cannot see them, honestly keep playing the way 0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:05.920 that they have. And when you talk about competitive guys, 0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:09.079 I see these guys at the defensive line being one 0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:12.520 of the most competitive guys that the Cowboys have on defense. 0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:15.480 And you talk about DeMarcus Lawrence, and we know that 0:11:15.640 --> 0:11:18.760 there's a lot of questions about him, but I know 0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:21.680 there's a lot of fire in him and he can 0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:24.840 even if he depending on how what he does in 0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:26.680 the game, if he's able to play or not or 0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:30.199 whatever with the whole knee issue. I think that these 0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:34.280 guys are upset enough to where they will be coming 0:11:34.280 --> 0:11:37.839 out in this game and hopefully playing better than they 0:11:37.880 --> 0:11:40.720 did in the previous two games. All right, Nick, you're up, 0:11:40.840 --> 0:11:43.400 tell us what they are, what you think they would 0:11:43.400 --> 0:11:45.880 be biggest, the biggest impact they could have by doing 0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:47.720 something better this week than they did last week. Sorry, 0:11:47.760 --> 0:11:52.800 Dave taking it turnovers? I mean I thought I thought 0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:55.360 that was the easy answer. I mean, turnovers as soon 0:11:55.360 --> 0:11:58.280 as Amber didn't say you jumped over right, Yeah, you 0:11:58.320 --> 0:12:00.160 can't turn the ball over for Thank you for being 0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:02.400 more creative than that. Amber. Well, I mean, I just 0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:06.640 that they're they're three touchdowns better than the Falcons. I mean, 0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:09.360 they kicked the Falcons ass like Seattle does. If they 0:12:09.400 --> 0:12:11.360 don't turn the ball over, everybody can see that they're 0:12:11.360 --> 0:12:14.360 way better than that. So just don't turn the ball over. 0:12:14.559 --> 0:12:17.480 Don't give extra possessions to Russell Wilson, And I think 0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:20.839 My answer is A four that no, my answers a five. 0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:23.200 That won't happen. They're not going to turn out at 0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:25.199 that rate. They're not gonna have five turnovers with two 0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:28.320 fourth down failed punts and three turnovers. They're not having that, 0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:32.800 all right, Dave. That's why, like that that is so unusual, 0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:36.080 you know, from what we saw, that's so unusual for 0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:39.000 them to do. So that's why I am not expecting 0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:41.520 that to happen this week. That's unusual for most teams. 0:12:41.520 --> 0:12:43.760 Like that's not even a cowboy like, that's just abnormal 0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:46.720 that a team has three turnovers and then two turnovers 0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:49.280 undowns Like that's a that's that's just not normal in 0:12:49.320 --> 0:12:55.319 an NFL, now, Dave. I mean, so we addressed the 0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:57.560 pass rush, and we addressed that they should probably hold 0:12:57.600 --> 0:12:59.320 on to the ball, But you got left. If those 0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:02.800 two things, if those two things get significantly better, I 0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:06.600 really like their chances to win this game if I 0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:11.240 had to think of something else turnovers, but not necessarily 0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:13.839 because they didn't. They didn't turn it over against the 0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:19.280 LA and they still didn't start fast enough. So I 0:13:19.320 --> 0:13:22.800 think the best recipe for success for this team is 0:13:22.840 --> 0:13:27.320 going to be to start faster start Hotter have seven 0:13:27.440 --> 0:13:29.920 or ten or fourteen points on the board by the 0:13:30.000 --> 0:13:32.720 end of the first quarter. That hasn't really been the 0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:36.760 case through two games so far. So it doesn't mean 0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:39.360 you have to have the perfect drive on the opening possession, 0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:42.760 but get into a groove a little bit faster than 0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:44.280 they have been. I think that's going to be key 0:13:44.320 --> 0:13:47.200 against a quarterback as good as Russell Wilson. Yeah, I 0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:49.079 actually agree with you on that day, because I think 0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:51.640 if they can get an early lead, it does allow 0:13:51.679 --> 0:13:53.880 them in the second half possibly to be able to 0:13:53.960 --> 0:13:55.839 keep the ball out of Russell's hands by running the 0:13:55.840 --> 0:13:57.560 ball a little bit more. I don't think you can 0:13:57.600 --> 0:13:59.440 do that if the game's tied, or if the Cowboys 0:13:59.440 --> 0:14:02.880 are behind against an offense like what we see in Seattle. 0:14:02.920 --> 0:14:04.559 So I think their best chance to be able to 0:14:04.600 --> 0:14:06.760 do that's going to be about getting us into a 0:14:06.840 --> 0:14:08.640 situation where they have a lead. We're gonna take our 0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:10.360 first break and we come back.

I got more 0:16:54.960 --> 0:16:57.040 questions for these guys that get you ready for Cowboys 0:16:57.120 --> 0:17:00.200 versus Seahawks. The next question, what is more important for 0:17:00.280 --> 0:17:02.120 Dallas to get a win? And we're talking about the 0:17:02.160 --> 0:17:06.280 offense the Cowboys offense, ball control or up tempo? We 0:17:06.320 --> 0:17:08.560 saw last week when they went to up tempo they 0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:11.240 were moving the ball really well. It also has a 0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:13.360 way of kind of taking away some of the advantage 0:17:13.359 --> 0:17:15.679 at the defense have and being able to substitute and 0:17:15.760 --> 0:17:17.720 even be able to being able to do certain things 0:17:17.760 --> 0:17:20.760 with their defense. What's more important this game? Controlling the ball, 0:17:20.880 --> 0:17:23.200 keeping Russ off the field, or going up tempo where 0:17:23.200 --> 0:17:25.320 your offense may be better. Let's start first with you, Dave. 0:17:28.320 --> 0:17:31.840 Ball control is how you hide a week offense. Like 0:17:31.960 --> 0:17:36.080 that's what ball control is for. No, get up tempo, 0:17:36.200 --> 0:17:39.280 score some points, let's have some fun. I think the 0:17:39.400 --> 0:17:41.800 key to winning is gonna be red zone in my opinion, 0:17:41.880 --> 0:17:45.120 Like you gotta cash in. No kicking, no failed fourth 0:17:45.200 --> 0:17:49.080 down conversions, YadA, YadA YadA. Score touchdowns because you're gonna 0:17:49.080 --> 0:17:53.960 need them. The Seahawks, I feel like, unless somebody gets hurt, 0:17:54.000 --> 0:17:56.280 I think they're a lock to score thirty one points 0:17:56.359 --> 0:18:01.680 or more. So I'm saying score touch downs, up tempo, 0:18:01.960 --> 0:18:05.240 whatever helps your offense succeed. Ball control is for when 0:18:05.240 --> 0:18:08.200 you have a rookie quarterback or a bad quarterback, and 0:18:08.480 --> 0:18:12.240 the Cowboys don't have either of those things. All right, Nick, Yeah, 0:18:12.359 --> 0:18:14.400 I thought when you were asking the question, you were 0:18:14.440 --> 0:18:17.800 saying like like hang on to the football type thing, 0:18:17.840 --> 0:18:20.720 like like trying to don't turn it over. Now I'm 0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:24.119 thinking I'm thinking more slowly gaining down and do the 0:18:24.160 --> 0:18:25.920 things you need to do to keep Russell off the field. 0:18:26.080 --> 0:18:28.520 Is that your best offense to keep him off the field? 0:18:28.720 --> 0:18:30.119 Is that your best way to win? Or do you 0:18:30.119 --> 0:18:31.640 go up tempo and just go hey, if we're getting 0:18:31.640 --> 0:18:33.040 to track me, we get to track me now. I 0:18:33.840 --> 0:18:36.040 he can come back if they're down. But I still 0:18:36.080 --> 0:18:38.280 make some one dimensional. I mean, if you if you 0:18:38.320 --> 0:18:40.920 have a lead and you're scoring points, they're gonna get 0:18:40.920 --> 0:18:42.680 away from what they want to do and they want 0:18:42.720 --> 0:18:44.439 to run the ball some with Carson. It's not like 0:18:44.440 --> 0:18:47.119 they just run it, you know, they let Russell do 0:18:47.200 --> 0:18:50.120 whatever he wants. But no, I think the day's right. 0:18:50.200 --> 0:18:52.560 I think you you you got to score points here. 0:18:53.359 --> 0:18:55.520 You know what's gonna be. You know, it's like racing 0:18:55.720 --> 0:18:58.240 Nusain Bolt. I mean, you know he's fast, so you 0:18:58.320 --> 0:19:01.679 better you better run. I mean, you know what he is, 0:19:04.000 --> 0:19:10.480 all right, amber ball, controller, up tempo. I'm gonna pick both, 0:19:10.520 --> 0:19:12.680 And don't be trying to challenge me on this one. 0:19:12.960 --> 0:19:15.239 I don't want to think further. But I'm picking a 0:19:15.240 --> 0:19:18.640 combination of both. The Cowboys need to do both, depending 0:19:18.680 --> 0:19:20.800 on where the game is at. I think they start 0:19:20.800 --> 0:19:24.600 off the game. They start off the game up tempo, 0:19:24.800 --> 0:19:28.520 just going out and trying to score. And obviously, depending 0:19:28.600 --> 0:19:31.040 where you're at in the second half of the game, 0:19:31.080 --> 0:19:33.560 if you're up, I would expect them to try to 0:19:33.680 --> 0:19:37.000 kill time by controlling the ball and keeping the ball 0:19:37.040 --> 0:19:40.679 longer on the offense. But a combination of both. And 0:19:41.160 --> 0:19:44.080 let me say this, I actually really really liked the 0:19:44.200 --> 0:19:47.280 no huddle thing that they did last week. I liked 0:19:47.359 --> 0:19:50.879 that it kept the momentum going and it seemed like 0:19:50.920 --> 0:19:54.000 it was really helpful to their game last week, So 0:19:54.080 --> 0:19:56.640 I hope to see some of that. I don't really 0:19:56.680 --> 0:20:01.959 know the disadvantages or and it just uh in comparison 0:20:02.040 --> 0:20:05.600 to like what helps them out them out the most. 0:20:05.640 --> 0:20:08.520 But I liked what I saw last week in regards 0:20:08.560 --> 0:20:11.639 to having no hotel going for it, Let's just keep playing. 0:20:11.880 --> 0:20:13.959 It sounds like you're saying up tempo is the answer, 0:20:14.040 --> 0:20:17.119 because if you're if you're successful in up tempo and 0:20:17.119 --> 0:20:18.680 you can score a lot of points, then you would 0:20:18.720 --> 0:20:21.200 maybe consider ball control. But it first has to start 0:20:21.240 --> 0:20:22.840 with him being up tempo and being able to score 0:20:22.840 --> 0:20:26.120 a lot, right, is that what you're saying, I suppose 0:20:26.240 --> 0:20:28.440 see if you wanna, Well, I'm just trying to figure 0:20:28.440 --> 0:20:30.840 out what's more important. What's more important, I guess is 0:20:30.880 --> 0:20:32.400 what I was trying to get because I know you're right, 0:20:32.560 --> 0:20:34.919 there's no there's nothing that's going to be absolute in 0:20:34.920 --> 0:20:36.879 this game. Like there's there's You're going to see a 0:20:36.920 --> 0:20:38.480 lot of different kinds of things. He can even go 0:20:38.520 --> 0:20:40.800 to our next question I'm gonna ask, but but I'm 0:20:40.840 --> 0:20:42.560 trying to figre out what's more important. Well, but you know, 0:20:42.600 --> 0:20:44.800 if you listen to what Bucky said, though, He basically 0:20:44.880 --> 0:20:48.080 said both. Yeah, he said, you know, move get up 0:20:48.119 --> 0:20:50.440 to the line of scrimmage quickly. It's that hurry up 0:20:50.480 --> 0:20:52.399 to wait, you know, you hurry up, you hurry up. 0:20:52.440 --> 0:20:54.280 You can't substitute. If you do try to subtude, we're 0:20:54.280 --> 0:20:57.000 gonna snap it. But I'm still gonna, you know, slow 0:20:57.080 --> 0:20:59.679 this thing down and just still find take time. So 0:21:00.160 --> 0:21:02.800
